Our TMH push for 1,250 members on target to achieve 20,000 goal; needs 1,250 more

OVER 60 YEARS EXPERIENCE

BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton — It’s been a long membership drive but the Our TMH committee is in the final stretch, looking for the final 1,250 members to reach the 20,000 membership goal. Sharon Urquhart, Our TMH membership drive chairperson, continues to work hard to reach the goal. She said there are now membership boxes in banks and credit unions throughout Quinte West and Brighton and there are a number of upcoming events volunteers will be attending to garner more membership support. Urquhart and volunteers will attend the Batawa Community Centre for the Senior’s Expo on Nov. 3 and will be back at the centre on Nov. 9 for the Trenton Memorial Hospital (TMH) Foundation’s Fashion for Foundation event. “I’m pretty excited, I think that we will not have a problem in getting the members, I think it’s achievable by the end of this year,” said Urquhart. Since the membership drive began in June 2016, Urquhart said the community has really warmed up to the committee and shown great support. “In the beginning people did not want to talk to us, people thought we were totally crazy” she said. “A year and four months later we have people seeking us out to get memberships, I have people calling my house asking where they can get the cards.” Now that the TMH advocacy committee has played a large role in ad-

vocating for the hospital and helped to keep services in Trenton, Urquhart said many community members think it’s awesome. “People are congratulating us, I’ve had people hug me, shake my hand and tell me what a wonderful job our committee has done,” she said. With the mandate to preserve, protect and enhance services at TMH, Urquhart said the committee’s success comes from always staying true to the mandate with a clear goal for

the hospital. “It’s been a busy time, but it’s a very satisfying thing to do,” she said. Mike Cowan, Our TMH chairperson, said the 20,000 goal is significant because it represents 40 per cent of the population of Quinte West and Brighton. “Twenty thousand being obtained in a short period of time shows the community support. We’re a duly recognized organization, we represent a lot of people and that’s a very signifi-

cant number,” he said. “It shows everyone, whether it be a politician or a bureaucrat with the ministry of health, we are a significant group, they have to listen to us now.” Our TMH will continue to obtain more memberships after the goal is reached. Keep an eye out for Our TMH volunteers running the membership drive at grocery stores throughout Trenton.

Police lay additional charges Displaced Sears employees against QW child porn suspect invited to job fair Nov. 22 Belleville – The city of Belleville is working to help those impacted by the sudden closure of Sears. A job fair for “displaced Sears employees” has been scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 22 at the Sears distribution centre at 500 College St. E. The event runs from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the building’s cafeteria. Employers that would like to advertise jobs are encouraged to register by contacting Belleville’s economic development office at 613-967-3238.

Trenton – A Quinte West man is now facing sexual assault and sexual interference charges, laid Tuesday by Quinte West OPP, adding to the list of charges the suspect is facing by Belleville police that include possession of child pornography and luring a person under the age of 16. On October 24, officers from the Quinte West OPP detachment arrested Tanner Neron, 26, for several sex related offences after members of the public made complaints of inappropriate actions by the 26-year-old. Neron has been charged by the Quinte West OPP with sexual assault on a person under 16, sexual interference with a person under 16 and making sexually explicit material available to a person under 16. He has also been charged with indecent exposure to a person under 16 and luring a person under 16 by means of telecommunications. Neron was held for a bail hearing on October 24. Belleville police initially arrested Neron on September 27 when police executed a search warrant at a Quinte West residence. Neron was charged with possession of child pornography, making sexually explicit material available to a person under the age of 16 and luring a person under the age of 16 by means of telecommunications. Neron, who was expected in court on Thursday Oct. 26, has not been tried in court on any of the charges against him, nor have any of the allegations been proven in court. Neron was an assistant coach of

is expected to continue until early January, when the company will officially go out of business. The move puts more than 600 people out of work in Belleville, as the Sears store at the Quinte Mall employed 60 people and the College Street distribution centre employed 597 at the time of the announcement. The city held a similar job fair for laid off Sears employees from its call centre in 2014. That job fair was quite successful, said Belleville economic development officer Karen Poste, as many of those employees found work soon after.

Jennifer May-Anderson named new E.D. for Hospice Quinte Belleville – A familiar spokesperson in the community is the new face of Hospice Quinte and its quest to deliver residential palliative care. Jennifer May-Anderson has been hired as the new executive director of the non-profit organization. Hospice Quinte provides palliative care to terminally ill individuals and support to their caregivers in the Belleville, Quinte West, and South Hastings region. This service is offered in the person’s own home, long term care homes, retirement homes, and local hospitals. It is now in the process of building a six-bed, purposeplaced hospice facility. May-Anderson will not only oversee a staff of five, located at Hospice Quinte’s 225 Dundas St. E. building, but the organizations volunteer corps of more than 150. May-Anderson previously worked for Hastings Prince Edward Public Health and, before that, was the long-serving communications co-ordinator for Quinte Conservation.

Hospice Quinte Board President Darcey French said, “after an extensive selection process we are excited to welcome Jennifer May-Anderson to the Hospice Quinte team and look forward to working with her. “Jennifer shares our enthusiasm for the purpose and future of Hospice Quinte and our respect for the trust our donors have in the organization.� Jennifer May-Anderson has been a committed member of the Quinte area since settling here to attend Loyalist College in 1994. She has worked in the area for the last 20 years and brings a wealth of experience in the local non-profit sector as well as in the areas of board governance and public relations. As executive director, she will provide Hospice Quinte with professional leadership in the areas of fundraising, agency relations, public relations, communications, and financial management. “I am deeply honoured and excited about this new opportunity to serve my community

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

OPINION

No reason for taking fish over spawning beds

Catalonia: The silent majority It’s been going on for a while. “Recently in Catalonia we have been living through a kind of ‘soft’ totalitarianism...the illusion of unanimity created by the fear of expressing dissent,” wrote best-selling Catalan author Javier Cercas in Gwynne Dyer the Spanish newspaper El Pais in 2014. Those who didn’t want independence kept their heads down and their mouths shut, in other words. Three years later, it has just got worse. Last July, leading Catalan film-maker Isabel Coixet told The Observer that “Madrid is deaf and mute and the government here (in Catalonia) is really happy about that. They never really look for dialogue at all.” She added that Catalans are afraid of speaking out “for fear of being called fascists.” That about sums it up. Opinion polls consistently show that a majority of the people who live in Catalonia want it to remain part of Spain. The latest, published in El Pais on Saturday, showed that 55 per cent of those polled opposed the declaration of independence in the Catalan parliament last week, with only 41 per cent in favour. That’s an even more decisive rejection of separation from Spain than a poll commissioned by the Catalan government and published just before the declaration of independence, which came out 49 per cent to 41 per cent in favour of remaining in Spain. Yet the news coverage was all about flag-waving nationalist crowds demanding independence, because the silent majority was staying low. Finally, on Sunday, a big pro-Spanish crowd came out in the streets of Barcelona: 300,000 people according to the police, more than a million according to the organizers. About the same size as the pro-independence crowds, therefore, but they left it rather late. The separatist strategy has worked well, and by now the fat is really in the fire. The separatists’ problem was this: no opinion poll has ever shown a majority for independence since the current upsurge in Catalan nationalism began about eight years ago. For the past few years the ‘yes ‘ vote has been stuck at around 40%. You can hardly declare independence for the region without a vote of some kind, so what do you do? A referendum is better than an election, because it’s a single-issue vote that will really get the faithful out. But how do you prevent

the more numerous skeptics from voting too? Well, the Spanish constitution is a great help there, because it says that a referendum on independence for any of Spain’s regions would be illegal. So if you hold one, maybe the true nationalists will vote despite the law, while the rest obey the law and stay away. They road-tested this model three years ago with an ‘advisory’ referendum that the Madrid government sort of tolerated (though it said it was illegal), and it worked just fine. Only 37 per cent of the population voted, but 80 per cent of those who did show up voted ‘yes’ to independence That’s the kind of number you could really use to justify declaring independence, even if it’s a bit of a cheat. If anybody complains, just shrug your shoulders, say you wish the turnout had been higher, and carry on doing what you want to do: declaring independence. And so it came to pass. The independence referendum on 1 October was the real thing, not ‘advisory’ at all. Rather late in the day Spanish Prime Minister Maria Rajoy realised that the independentistas intended to use the result as a justification for a declaration of independence, so he got a court judgement confirming that the referendum was illegal and sent the police in to shut it down. The Catalan nationalists had foreseen this, and welcomed it. Nothing could be better for the cause than images of Spanish police dragging women out of polling booths, and the uproar would keep even the hardiest ‘no’ voters away. The turn-out this time was a bit higher, at 43 per cent and so was the ‘yes’ vote: 90 per cent. Very gratifying. With that manipulated result in hand, the president of Catalonia’s regional government, nationalist leader Carles Puigdemont, declared independence last week. The Spanish central government immediately dissolved the regional parliament, removed Puigedemont and his cabinet from office, and announced a fresh regional election for 21 December. It’s all strictly in accord with Article 155 of the Spanish constitution, and Puigdemont probably foresaw this too. He has always been three moves ahead of Madrid. Meanwhile, Spains’s Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Saenz de Santamaria now has the job of running Catalonia until the election, and she will probably have a very difficult time. Puigdemont is now officially a martyr in the eyes of his fellow separatists, and Spain says that he will be allowed to run in the December election, so he has lost nothing. Unless the silent majority find their voices, he may yet be the first president of the Catalan Republic.

Editorial by Chris Malette There he was, last week. Standing proudly with a rod and reel in one hand, a backpack across one shoulder and, draped over the other, a fishing stringer festooned with a pair of metrelong dripping salmon. Those battered specimens, missing chunks of skin and flesh, had presumably just come from the Moira River, nearby, where an ice control dam makes the area off what is commonly known as “Meyers’ Mill” a spawning ground for salmon that swim up the bay from deeper, colder environs in Lake Ontario this time each year. But, here was Goober, the hero home from the hunt with his prize possessions – two half-rotten salmon he was presumably bringing home for the table. Ugh. If the poor schmuck had a wife or partner, let’s hope he was told to return the smelling, rotting specimens to where they belonged – back in the river. There are some large specimens moving into area waterways to spawn and, if you’re simply watching, it’s impressive to see the size of some of the larger fish, usually the Chinooks or King salmon Coho salmon, the Chinook’s smaller cousin, are moving into rivers and tributaries to spawn, as well. Here’s what the MNR has to say about them when they move inland to spawn: “…usually stop feeding once they move upstream in fall, but are aggressive and territorial and will hit lures in defence....” But, many prefer a nastier way to catch a fish. Under Ontario’s fishing regulations it is illegal in any waterway to: “Catch a fish by impaling or snagging it with a hook through any part of the body other than the mouth – any fish hooked in this way must be released immediately. • Take fish by any means other than angling, spear, bow and arrow, net or bait fish trap. But, it’s not unusual to see people mostly snagging, with gang-hooks, known as a snagger. Last week, we asked MNR’s enforcement people about the use of such devices. “Under the Ontario Fishery Regulations a hook altered this way – with a lead weight (in an illustration provided by the officer who responded) – would be called a “snagger,” said the ministry’s Jolanta Kowalski. “It is unlawful to possess a snagger within 30m of the water’s edge or to use a snagger to fish.”)

DISTRIBUTION MANAGER Paul Mitchell 613-966-2034 ext 508 SALES MANAGER Melissa Hudgin 613-966-2034, ext 504 ADVERTISING SALES Norah Nelson, 613-966-2034, ext 501 Michael Kelly, 613-966-2034, ext 506 Morgan Scott, 613-966-2034 ext 518 Orlinda Johnston, 613-966-2034 ext 526

Many who have read to this point will recall having seen, at some point over the past several years, either news stories or have watched firsthand as native spear fishers have waded into the Moira or other rivers in the region to spear spawning pickerel in spring. When this practice first occurred with any great public regularity – in urban areas, at least – it was met with some pretty nasty blowback. White anglers, the vocally curious or those simply wanting to stir it up would line the river banks on the nights when the spear fishing was going on, taunting the mostly Mohawk men in the water with all manner of cat calls and threats. The practice of taking pickerel in this manner is wrong, plain and simple, as the spear fishers often target the spawning sows (bigger fish that are easier to hit with a not-too-precise spear lunge in rushing spring rivers, fatter fillets from the largest of the fish in the river, etc.) and we have seen far too much evidence that these fish aren’t winding up on tables of the elders or for private consumption – although there is indeed plenty of that – but that the majority become part of the commercial food chain in the form of truckloads of filleted fish from the largest of the lot heading west or east down the 401 to restaurant back doors in Toronto or Montreal. In some cases, as with the mouth of the Moira, Trent, Ganny and others in spring, these spawning grounds are sanctuaries. (It’s not a sanctuary, it should be noted, where the anglers and fly fisher-fellas in Belleville have been taking their salmon this fall.) It happens that the ministry will go after someone fishing in a sanctuary – anyone who will not, it should be said, claim to be Aboriginal and fishing for ceremonial or by-rights reasons, the aforementioned spear-fishing aficionados. In a perfect world, no one would be catching spawning fish in any river – once they have moved into the river or creek and are over their spawning grounds for many reasons, most having to do with protecting the breeds of fish that are doing so. But, to drag home the half-rotten corpse of a reeking salmon that just weeks ago would have been magnificent table fare is just plain boneheaded. Have you seen or are you wary about someone fishing illegally? You can turn the bums in. Here’s how: Natural resources violations can be reported to the MNRF TIPS line at 1-877847-7667 toll-free any time or local ministry offices during regular business hours.

Sex charges against Belleville orthodontist die with the accused Belleville - Charges, most all of them sexrelated against former Belleville dentist and orthodontist Garry Solomon have been withdrawn by the Crown. Hastings County Crown Attorney Lee Burgess told court last week following the orthodnotist’s death from advance-stage liver cancer on Oct. 5, the criminal case against him cannot died with the man. In early February 2017, members of the Belleville Police Criminal Investigations Branch began an investigation after it was reported to the Children’s Aid Society that Solomon was inappropriately videorecording clients without their consent or knowledge. The videos reportedly involved both adults and children under the age of 18. In July, officers executed a search warrant at Solomon’s Toronto area home and charged him with two counts of voyeurism and one count each of possession of child pornography and making child pornography. Solomon was later charged with seven counts of sexual assault. It’s believed and was alleged by police that Solomon had been making the videos for several years. A civil class action case is now proceeding against the estate of Solomon, seeking what is reported to be in the millions of dollars for any claimant who believes they were victim to the late orthodontist. The claim seeks pecuniary and special damages in the amount of $1 million, court costs and damages totalling hundreds of thousands more. Local lawyer Kris Bonn has launched the suit on behalf of a woman listed as Jane Doe and there are reported to be more than two dozen others who have since contacted Bonn’soffice to sign on to the lawsuit. Bonn is working in conjunction with Toronto lawyer Darcy Merkur, a litigation lawyer with Thomson Rogers. Bonn said

the total amount in damages being sought hasn’t been determined and will depend on the number of victims that come forward. None of the charges made in the statement of claim filed by Bonn or the complainants in the civil class action proceedings have been proven in court.

8 Wing reflects on Women’s History Month BY MAKALA CHAPMAN

Trenton – Women have been making their mark on this country and the military for well over 150 years, says Lt.-Col. Cathy Blue. As the commanding officer of 8 Mission Support Squadron, she noted that being in a position of leadership would have been unheard of back in the days of the First World War and Second World War. Not to mention the fact that her command team partner, chief warrant officer Lori White, is also a woman. Nowadays, Blue notes that this type of leadership combination is important to highlight as it demonstrates how far women have come in their roles in the military. “It’s a sign of changing times,” she said, “to have the opportunity to command a unit where my chief is also a woman is a great honour, but also a sign that this is one more step forward for women in the

Canadian Armed Forces.” But, she added that this wasn’t to say a female command team was any more or less effective than the leadership offered by a male team. She reiterated that having women in positions of leadership could potentially serve as an example to other women that there are opportunities for them to advance in the ranks. White chimed in and noted that she too was proud to serve as part of a command team since it was an opportunity her ancestors before her likely would have only been able to dream of. With October being Women’s History Month in Canada, White said it was especially important to acknowledge all the women who helped pave the way for women not only in Royal Canadian Air Force, but in society as a whole. “As we build on ourselves and our

foundations, we start to become the history,” she said. “We are equals.” While women’s role in the military were certainly limited back in the days of the Second World War, Blue noted it was important to remember that some women were already making waves of change. History books will reflect that although women weren’t necessarily allowed to fight on the front lines, they were able to aid in the war effort in several other ways. Based on information found in the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s Digital Archives, women were contributing to the war effort by serving both home and abroad as factory workers, welders, nurses, pilots and more. The biggest difference between then and now, said Blue, is the fact that women are finally seen as equals and have proven they are just as capable as their male counterparts. “It is the performance of your job that counts, not your gender,” she said. “We stand on the shoulders of giants. There’s a lot of conversations and hard work that went into ensuring that women had access to all the same opportunities in the service as men.”

She went on to thank the women before her that left the door open behind them for women like her to follow in their footsteps. When asked who her role model would be, whether military or not, Blue said she would be remiss not to give the credit to her mother and grandmother. “My grandmother wasn’t necessarily serving in the Canadian Armed Forces, but she was raising a family in the middle of the Second World War and working in a munitions factory,” she explained. “I was always left with the opinion that the world was whatever I wanted to make of it, not what somebody else told me. That went from my grandmother to my mother and then to me.”

Both women also agreed that their own successes were a direct result from the support from both the men and women in their lives, whether it was family, co-workers or friends. “This is a team effort,” said Blue. “I’m not successful in my job because I’m a gal. I’m successful because I have a huge team of people, men, women and civilians who make the squadron a success.” Another opportunity to celebrate and reflect on the successes of women both past and present will be held on March 8, which is International Women’s Day. But Blue added that any day was a good day to recognize the efforts of both the men and women who have made Canada the country it is today.

8 Wing Trenton’s right-hand-man, Troy Zuorro BY MAKALA CHAPMAN

Trenton – Like so many his age, a young Troy Zuorro was unsure of what career path to take after graduating high school. Having come from a military family, the now-chief warrant officer for 8 Wing Trenton said it was only fitting that his career path would one day lead him to where he is today. But, before diving deeper into the man who now stands as Col. Mark Goulden’s command team partner at 8 Wing Trenton, one has to learn a little bit about how he got there.

Although he was born in New Brunswick, if asked, Zuorro will tell you that he has “lived everywhere, although not really necessarily from anywhere.” For this particular Canuck, his interests couldn’t get any more Canadian, with his love of snowboarding in the winter and barbecuing steaks in the summer. Ask him how he likes his Tim Hortons coffee and he’ll tell you he takes it “regular.” For those who don't know, that’s one cream and one sugar. As for his start in the military, little did he know that it would begin as a result of

leaving the country. After Troy graduated from high school in Cold Lake, Alta., the Zuorros made the move to Germany in summer 1985, after his father was posted to Canadian Forces Base Baden-Soellingen. “As a teen with very little direction, I thought this was an opportunity too good to pass up,” he said. Just a few months later into his new life, a Canadian mobile recruiting centre visited Germany. That’s when Zuorro said before he knew it, he had signed the dotted line and was officially enlisted in the military. “In my attempt Influenza Immunization to not have to go Community Clinics 2017 back to school after graduating high school, I actually Date Time enrolled in an organization where we Starting Oct 30 (by appointment ONLY) never stop learning,” Call 613-332-4555 he chuckled. Fondly reflecting on the good in his Friday, Nov. 3 9:00 am - 3:00 pm life, Zuorro noted that his family has been an integral part Monday, Nov.6 1:00 pm – 6:00 pm of his support system. Having initially met his wife, June, Tuesday, Nov 7 1:00 pm – 6:00 pm back in their high school days, Zuorro recalled that they Wednesday, Nov.8 1:00 pm – 6:00 pm both ran in different crowds. But, despite their differences in social Thursday, Nov.16 1:00 pm – 6:00 pm strata, they actually had a fair bit in common.

“My wife’s father was also military, so they were also posted (in Alberta),” he explained. “I also worked with her brother and played hockey with her brother, so he and I were quite close.” While they didn’t pursue a relationship in high school, Zuorro said fate eventually brought them back together a few years later. After having completed basic training, then-private Zuorro was first posted to Shearwater, N.S. — the same place June’s family had been sent. It was there in Nova Scotia that Zuorro said he got the chance to get to know her. “I was soon faced with the awkward conversation with her brother when I told him I was going to ask out his sister out for a date,” he laughed, noting that he didn’t think his future brother-in-law had been pleased with him at the time. “But, she and I got married in 1990, and here we are in 2017.” He jokingly added that after 27 years of marriage, it should be evident that his intentions were good. As a father of two children in their 20s, Zuorro said like many military families, they have had to work hard to find the balance between work and life. Having to move his family across Canada several times for work during their formative years, Zuorro said a lot of time was spent thinking about what was best for the family. He added that he and his wife also reflected on their own time as children of military parents. “As a military child, I was always a little bit envious of the children that were born and raised in one area,” he said. “But, I soon learned that home may not necessarily be a geographical place, as home can be anywhere that your friends and family are,

at any particular time.” He then went on to describe a wreath that currently hangs on the wall of his family’s Ottawa residence that says, “Home is where the Air Force sends you.” Making a circular motion with his hands, he added that encompassing the outside of the wreath were all the different locations he and his family have lived. Zuorro said he had a few words of advice to offer to new and young military families. “We were always honest with our kids and we didn’t try to hide anything,” he said. “Resiliency is one of the strengths of military families. Just be honest with them as to why you’re moving and be there for them to help answer their questions.” He also pointed to organizations such as the Trenton Military Family Resource Centre and noted that accessing their support programs could be beneficial for families in similar situations. But, when Zuorro isn’t busy juggling his time on the weekends with his wife (also military) in Ottawa, he said he’s plenty busy helping provide leadership alongside Col. Goulden in Trenton. “Our intent is to get out to every unit, squadron or branch on the wing and get to meet some of the people,” he said. While the objective is to always ensure that daily operations run at their best, Zuorro said he and Goulden recognize that the men and women of 8 Wing are integral to the military’s success. On top of that, ensuring their safety and well-being is a top priority and would be a reoccurring theme visited by the command team, he said. As for the civilian community that surrounds 8 Wing, he said they would also be working hard to nurture those relationships. He noted that the Quinte region has been a strong support system for the military and that the success of 8 Wing is also in part to the community as a whole. In terms of his plans for helping combat the stigmas surrounding mental health, Zuorro said he would continue to promote the various services and programs available. Going back to his time as a young parent, he said that some of the most stressful times in his life had been when he and his wife had to uproot the family for work. Whether it’s stresses building up from everyday life or work-related issues, he noted that it was important to address the issues. “I myself will admit to making use of our mental health professionals on a number of occasions throughout my career,” he said. “It takes courage and strength to recognize when you have to reach out for help.” Reflecting on his time in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), Zuorro said he has been proud to wear the uniform and serve his country. “I declared success early on in my career, because I was working for an organization that I was extremely happy to work in and I had a job that helped provide for my family,” he said. “Success wasn’t a matter of attaining a certain rank or a certain job; it was really being happy in life and finding something I enjoyed doing,”


The American Hockey League has officially arrived in Belleville W ith last night’s historic home-opener against the Syracuse Crunch, the Belleville Senators played their long awaited first game in the newly renovated Yardmen Arena, the first ever professional hockey game to ever be played in the Bay of Quinte region. With the calendar turning to November, Senators fans finally have the opportunity to see their new favourite players, such as Colin White, Thomas Chabot and Filip Chlapik, live in action. Over the next two weeks, the team will play six more home games. Many of the players coming through the Yardmen Arena, both on the Senators side and on visiting teams, will one day play in the NHL. In the 201617 Stanley Cup Final, 94% of players had previously played in the AHL. This season, 640 AHL graduates were on the opening night rosters of NHL teams. That’s more than 82

percent of players across the League. There is a reason why the AHL is widely considered the best league in the world outside of the NHL. This season alone, Belleville’s Chlapik, Chabot, Christian Jaros, Jack Rodewald, Max McCormick and Chris DiDomenico have all been recalled by the

Ottawa Senators at some point. Further to that, Chabot, Chlapik and DiDomenico all went on to record their

first NHL points with DiDomenico also notching the first goal of his NHL career. And it’s not just the players. 23 of the 31 NHL head coaches to the start 2017-18 season have previously coached in the AHL. So, get ready Bay of Quinte. You never know who you will see on a nightly basis at the Yardmen Arena. It might be the next best NHL

prospect. It might be that NHL star who needs a few games to regain his step before heading back to the show. Every night will be different. Either way, this is a starting point for something big.

100 plus Men Who Care Quinte boost Student Emergency Fund BY ERIN STEWART

Quinte region — The Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation’s Student Emergency Fund is the latest charity chosen to receive $10,000 from 100 plus Men Who Care Quinte. Maribeth deSnoo, executive director of the learning foundation, said the $10,000 is an incredible donation and will make a big difference to the emergency fund. “I can tell you that this morning I had the 98th request for support already this year and we have dispersed $10,000,” she said. “This gift of $10,000 means an incredible difference, we will be able to make it through the year then.” The objective of the Student Emergency Fund is to give immediate assistance to students, and perhaps their families, by providing financial aid and/or gift-in-kind support. The funding could be used to purchase items such as eyeglasses, EpiPens, medical supplies, food and clothing, transportation, to subsidize field trips, or to assist with additional financial needs that result from family crises like a fire, flood, layoffs and illness. DeSnoo said the great thing about the fund is that the foundation can respond to requests made by school staff and administration immedi-

ately. “We trust them, they know the families, they know the students, so when they send in a request to me our policy is we’re going to get an answer back to them within 24 hours,” she said. “If someone needs food at home it’s an immediate need, it’s not something that can wait.” The student emergency fund is used to support students within the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board. Ken Manderville, one of the men in 100 plus Men Who Care Quinte’s organizing team and principal of Trenton High School, nominated the emergency fund during the group’s September meeting. “I see first hand, like many principals would, the needs of young people in our community and I’ve seen the learning foundation and specifically the Student Emergency Fund make a big difference, a huge difference in kids’ lives,” he said. The emergency fund is one of the first ways that staff can help a student in need during a crisis situation, said Manderville. “Say there was a fire in a home, it might be something to help them get some clothes so they can reduce the number of classes and days missed at school and get them back and keep them feeling part of the community,”

he said. Since 100 plus Men Who Care Quinte began in 2015, a total of $106,350 has been donated to local charities. At four meetings a year, three charities are chosen from a ballot box.

The members who nominated the chosen organizations are then asked to do a brief three-minute presentation. Members will not know which three charities are presented until the ballots are drawn. After the presentations a vote is held and the charity with the most

votes by simple majority will be the recipient. To join 100 plus Men Who Care Quinte, complete the commitment form at 100menwhocarequinte.com . By joining, each member commits to donating $100 per meeting, four times per year.

Workers needed in Quinte region, especially in manufacturing BY ERIN STEWART

Belleville — It’s a good time to be on the job hunt in the Quinte region with the state of the local job market. Chris King, executive director of the Quinte Economic Development Commission, said the manufacturing and industrial sector throughout the region is in need of employees. “There’s availability and openings from entry-level positions to skilled trades to professional positions in the manufacturing environment,” he said. Many companies are finding it increasingly difficult to find the amount of staff they need, as the labour market seems to be a lot tighter, King added. There are companies that are actively looking to grow and hire more employees, “which is good news for people looking to get into the workforce and find opportunities in the manufacturing sector; there’s certainly lots of opportunities,” said King. At the recent Quinte Region Career and Training Fair in Belleville, hosted by the municipalities of Quinte West and Belleville, about 50 employers were looking to fill nearly 1,000 jobs. Linda Lisle, manager of economic development and tourism with the city of Quinte West, said about 400 to 500 people looking for jobs attended the fair. Various sectors were on hand from warehouse operations, manufacturing, office and administration support, health care and customer care. King said he credits the demand in jobs to growth in the manufacturing sector and a need to fill positions as the “baby boomer” generation starts to exit the workforce. Sometimes, the issue is that employers can’t find employees with the proper skill sets, said King. To improve manufacturing skills, the Elevate Plus program is in place to train people to help improve skills to

G-Hawks bounce back to Centennial and Quinte head to Bay of Quinte championships beat Pickering at home BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton — After the Trenton Golden Hawks played back-to-back games against the Pickering Panthers, each team took a win on home ice. The Jr. A teams took to the ice in Pickering on Friday night where the G-Hawks lacked energy, said Hawks coach Marty Abrams. “From start to finish we didn’t execute well, we gave them lots of opportunities to score and I just thought our execution wasn’t where it’s supposed to be,” he said. Pickering outshot the Hawks 15-6 in the first but couldn’t capitalize on the opportunities. Trenton’s Max Ewart scored the first goal of the game 10 seconds into the second period before Pickering’s Joseph Franzin evened the score with a power-play goal at 19:50. The G-Hawks managed to outshoot the Panthers 11-7 in the second but the third period was a different story. The Panthers outgunned the Hawks 16-9 and managed to capitalize on three opportunities, bringing the final score to a 4-1 win for the Panthers. The Golden Hawks turned things around at home on Saturday, Oct. 28 for the second contest against the Panthers. This time, Abrams said the team’s energy level was much higher from

Belleville – Centennial and Quinte will face off in the Bay of Quinte championship for both the senior and junior boys’ football finals. The senior teams advanced from the semi finals on Thursday Oct. 26 when Centennial beat St. Theresa 27-0 and Quinte came out on top 32-7 over Moira. The junior teams faced off in the semi finals on Friday where Centennial advanced with a 23-6 win over Trenton High and Quinte advanced with a 9-0 win over St. Theresa. The Bay of Quinte championships will take place on Saturday Nov. 4 at Mary Ann Sills. The juniors will play at 11 a.m. and seniors at 1 p.m.

start to finish. “Playing at home and getting right back on the ice really helped us, we didn’t show any fatigue symptoms from the night before and I thought our execution was much better,” he said. “Our penalty kill was outstanding, it really bailed us out and Carson Poulin really stood tall in the net.” Scoring kicked off in the second period with a goal by Trenton’s Mark Tassone, assisted by Caleb Boman. The Panthers tied things up with a goal by David Teigen-Katsumi going into the third period. Pickering took a lead at the beginning of the third with a goal by Toby Cooper and Boman tied the game up five minutes later with a power-play goal. Ewart scored the game-winner with an unassisted goal at 19:16. The Hawks managed to kill all of Pickering’s eight penalties and capitalized on one power play out of seven. G-Hawks goaltender Poulin saved 38 of 40 shots and Pickering’s Ethan Langevin made 30 saves of the 33 shots he faced. Coming up, the Hawks will host the Kingston Voyageurs at 7:30 p.m. on Friday Nov. 3 followed by an away game on Saturday Nov. 4 against the Whitby Fury at 12:30 p.m. The Hawks’ record now sits at 9-91-0.

Belleville Senators sweep Manitoba Moose before moving into Yardmen BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – The Belleville Senators played their home opener at a renovated Yardmen Arena against the Syracuse Crunch on Wednesday night in front of a sold out crowd. The game was played after press time, but for full coverage of the game and opening night festivities visit www.insidebelleville.com The Sens entered the game on a roll, as they swept the Manitoba Moose in a two-game stand in Winnipeg on the weekend, winning in overtime both times. The wins brought their record to a respectable 4-40-1 at the end of their nine-game road stretch to start the American Hockey League season. Against Manitoba on Friday, Oct. 27, the Senators found themselves down 2-1 at the end of the first intermission, with Buddy Robinson scoring both goals for the Moose and Erik Burgdoerfer scoring for Belleville. Then Ben Sexton and Gabriel Gagne scored in the second to give the visitors a 3-2 lead. That lead would hold until Chase De Leo tied the game for Manitoba with just 2:14 to play in the third. After a scoreless overtime period, the game went into a shootout. And it turned out to be a tough one for Sens goalie Andrew Hammond and his Moose counterpart Eric Commie. Both goaltenders denied their first shooter but surrendered goals to the next three. But the Sens won the game (and the shootout) by a 4-3 score, when Nick Paul scored on Commie and Hammond then turned away Jack Roslovic’s shot. Hammond was solid throughout the night as he stopped 35 of 38 shots in regulation and overtime, including a second-period penalty shot awarded to Roslovic. On Saturday, Oct. 27 it looked as though the Moose might get revenge. They led 2-0 after the first period, with goals by Mike Sgarbossa and Peter Stoykewyck. But Sexton scored just 26 seconds into the second period to make it 2-1 and Gagne tied it with a goal with just 2:56 to play in the third period. Then Filip Chlapik weaved some magic, just a few

seconds into the overtime period. The highly-touted prospect from the Czech Republic picked up a puck in his own end, rushed the entire length of the ice and deked out Moose goalie Michael Hutchinson give the Senators a stunning 3-2 win at the 35 second mark of overtime. Danny Taylor earned the win in goal, stopping 37 of 39 shots. Chlapik credited his teammates for playing a great third period to put the game into overtime. He assisted on the third-period goal, by wiring a pass over to Gagne who fired a one-timer from the slot. Chlapik said the team was getting a little frustrated with some close misses early in the period, but the team’s hard work eventually paid off. “The third period was a really good effort by us,” he said in a post-game interview posted at bellevillesens. com. “It was a great job by everyone on the team.” Commenting on the overtime goal, he said he was “pretty tired” heading into the play. “I knew two guys were behind me. I just tried to score,” he said, humbly. Opening festivities The Senators worked hard to make Wednesday’s home opener a special night. Beginning at 4 pm, the Sens’ opened a “fan zone” in the parking lot alongside Cannifton Road, which included fun activities including a hardest shot competition, target shooting, face painting, a bouncy castle for young kids and a wide variety of food trucks. The fan zone also featured a red-carpet segment, so fans could meet their favourite Senators before the game. There was also a pre-game ceremony featuring guests that were integral to the Senators coming to Belleville. The Charlotte Checkers are in town next for a twogame stand on Friday, Nov. 3 and Saturday, Nov. 4. Both games start at 7 p.m. The home stand continues with games against Binghamton (7 p.m., Nov. 8), Rochester (7 p.m. Nov. 10, 7 p.m. Nov. 11) and Lehigh Valley ( 7 p.m., Nov. 15). Tickets are still available for these games.

Details emerge about couple killed Northumberland Hills Hospital BY KAREN LONGWELL

Cobourg – Details have began to surface about the couple killed at Northumberland Hills Hospital (NHH). Although their names have not been released by police, family members have identified the couple who were killed at NHH on Friday, Oct. 27 as Tom and Helen Ryan. Ontario's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) said the couple died following a shooting inside the emergency room in the NHH in Cobourg. The incident began after they were admitted to the emergency department for unknown aliments, said Jon Ansell, the lead SIU investigator on the incident. The couple was side by side on gurneys alone in what Ansell described as a triage room. Just after 11 p.m. a shot was heard from the triage room when nurses entered the room they found the woman had sustained a head wound. Cobourg police responded very quickly and encountered the 70-year-old man. Two police officers discharged their firearms and the man was pronounced dead on scene. A nephew of Helen Ryan said the family isn’t ready to speak as it is a very emotional time. Tom and Helen Ryan were staying at two trailer parks in Northumberland this summer and fall but planned to head back to Texas, according to both trailer park owners where they stayed. The couple stayed at Salem Woods Trailer Park for about one month, said Belle Cox, who owns the trailer park with her husband Jim Cox. Cox said the night of the shooting a care worker went to the trailer and then called police. “I don’t know why she called police,” said Cox.

After police arrived they called an ambulance for Tom Ryan and then later another ambulance for Helen Ryan, she said. The next morning at 5 a.m. Cox was shocked when police arrived with the news. Since then the SIU and OPP have come along with foren-

nice but a little quiet. Cox had heard she might have had Alzheimer’s. They had reserved one month at the trailer park and planned to return the next summer. They planned to head back to Texas. ”He was determined he was going to Texas,’ said Cox. She had told them they had to shut off the water soon and the season was ending. Stephanie Berry, who owns Castleton Hills RV Park with her husband Robert, said the couple stayed for three months before heading to Salem Woods Trailer Park. Berry said she didn’t know the couple very well but said they seemed like a normal older couple. “They seemed very nice,” said Berry adding she never witnessed fighting or violence. Berry said she was incredibly shocked to hear the news of the shooting and how Tom Ryan was described as violent and loving guns. She thought he was a very jovial man. “He liked to joke around,” she said. He had mobility issues and sometimes had to call emergency services to get a lift assist to get back in his trailer. Berry said the couple had intended to return to Texas but weren’t ready to leave so they moved to the Salem Woods Trailer Park about a month ago. Helen Ryan was a former music teacher who studied Opera at Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, according to her Facebook page. She went to Campbellford District High School. She had lived in Brenham, Texas. Numerous posts on her Facebook page indicated she was a

Woodlot conference to give glimpse of hardwood forests Batawa - Organizers say the Trenton Woodlot Conference on Nov. 24 is shaping up to be a “top-notch forestry event in eastern Ontario, providing expert information and guidance on woodlot/forest management, and hosted by the Hastings Stewardship Council.” An interactive field trip will get participants out in the woods, said the council. The keynote speaker, Dr. Warren Mabee, will present Seeing the Forest for the Trees: The Role of Woodlots in Ontario Environmental Strategies. Dr. Mabee, Canada Research Chair in Renewable Energy Development and Director of the Queen’s Institute for Energy and Environmental Policy, is well known for his engaging conversations on forestry and renewable energy. Woodlots are a great asset for any landowner: They help to manage some of our big environmental challenges. Carbon sequestered in wood can be stored in wood products or used to offset energy requirements. Woodlots provide important habitat for flora and fauna and help to maintain healthy levels of groundwater. Natural landscapes can be an asset to landowners for hunting and recreation. Also at the Conference, professional foresters Steve D’Eon and Ken Elliot will present Nudging your Hardwood Stands toward Old-growth Status. They will give a photographic tour of Ontario’s rare hardwood old-growth sites dominated by towering maple, beech, and eastern hemlock. You will

discover how to manage your woodlot to accelerate the old-growth features and nudge your stands toward old-growth status. The afternoon Field Trip is the Working Family Woodlot on a 72-acre property close to the hall. The owner, Gareth Metcalfe, and forestry professionals will walk you through recreational trail building, woodlot management, managing your woodlot for maple syrup and firewood, and tree identification on this hilly, diverse woodlot. Alternative afternoon Indoor Sessions are: Shelterbelts and Windbreaks, Selling Timber from your Woodlot, Forest Health Update on Insects and Diseases, and the Managed Forest Tax Incentive Program. Many local exhibitors, including woodworkers, will display their wares, books and services. The conference is Friday, Nov. 24. Doors open at 8 a.m.; the program begins at 9:00 am and ends at 4:00 pm. The location is the Batawa Community Centre at 81 Plant St., Batawa (north of Trenton). Admission is $35, including lunch. Pre-registration is encouraged by Nov. 16, to ensure a hot lunch. For online tickets, visit hastingsstewardship.ca. For more information, contact Matt at 613-391-9034 or info@hastingsstewardship.ca.

New immigrants could be gold mine for Hastings County BY JACK EVANS

On a blind gamble, Hastings County economic and tourism development officials attended the recent Peel Region Immigrant Job Fair and came away pleasantly surprised. Department head Andrew Redden told council last Thursday: ”We met more than 100 people looking to work in rural Ontario. Many are interested specifically in our area and we are actively assisting two we met with finding jobs in our area,” he said, describing the results as an unexpected surprise and planning to develop the initiative further. “We are staying in touch with all of those we talked to through our email newsletter.” He explained that the main problem is that most of them, because of their skills and/or income status, require jobs for married couples. This was just part of an extensive report on the activities of his department over the past year. His report took almost two hours in a special meeting of the Planning and Development Committee last week, which includes the economic development department. It included several video presentations as well. He reviewed the hiring of Mark Hanley as small business co-ordinator and Luisa Sorrentino as marketing co-

Economic and tourism development manager Andrew Redden told county council of successes experienced at a recent immigrant job fair in the Toronto area. Submitted photo

ordinator and described their efforts as substantial. He quipped about the acronym “BEER,” formed by his department’s

four key theme areas – ‘business coaching, entice people, educate people on what we have here and revitalize our products and assets.’ The word ties in

with the growing success of new craft brew businesses in the county, he suggested. Hanley has had success in attracting interest to small business seminars, drawing 68 inquiries and 118 consultations. From 44 of these consultations, there is “good potential” for 15 new starts and six expansions with a potential of 60 jobs. Special services are offered to young entrepreneurs plus financial assistance. He also reviewed the success of last summer’s launch of the “I Left the City” campaign, which has already attracted several entrepreneurial newcomers with continuing work with two serious inquiries. There are also special efforts to attract more craft brewing operations plus two prospective distillery inquiries. Redden said one key to the county’s success in drawing interest is “story telling,” letter the people who experience new lives in Hastings tell their own story. Typical is the initiative this past year to create a designated network of canoe and bicycle routes throughout the county. Both of those are top priorities for next year. He also cited the recent compilation of assessment data that shows rural Hastings County leading the region in net income gain at 21 per cent.

Memphis Bass Pro Shops megastore is located inside a Pyramid Pyramid, it felt more like I was going into a theme park or a high-end casino rather than a sporting goods store. However, I was soon staring at a massive cypress swamp, with 100-foot-tall cypress trees, treehouse cabins, humungous aquariums (with over 1,800 fish), and live wildlife (including an 84,000 gallon alligator habitat). I spotted a sign which read, “FOR THE SAFETY OF THE ALLIGATORS, PLEASE DO NOT THROW OBJECTS INTO THE EXHIBIT”. Yes, there were actual live alligators in this store! As I strolled about this megastore, and checked out its various departments, I began to see just how extensive it really was, for it had very large clothing, camping, hunting, footwear, boat, and watersports departments, among others, and these all featured many name brands and a great variety of products. There was also a 1,250-square-foot Beretta Fine Gun Centre, an archery range, a shooting range, a laser arcade, a nautical-themed restaurant and bar with a saltwater aquarium, a 10,000 gallon catfish aquarium, an ocean-themed bowling alley, and a Ducks Unlimited Waterfowling Heritage Centre (allowing visitors to learn more about the plethora of birds found along the Mississippi Flyway and the importance of conserving the area’s wetlands).

We have some very large sports stores here in Canada, including a gigantic Bass Pro Shops outlet in Vaughan, but I was rather ‘blown away’ by the size, shape, and interior of the Bass Pro Shops facility that I found on my recent visit to Memphis, Tennessee. The first thing that caught my attention about this super structure was its unusual shape. After all, it’s located inside a massive pyramid, one of the largest in the world! Therefore, it can be seen from quite a distance and seems to dominate the Memphis skyline. This incredible 535,000-square-foot structure soars 321 feet/98 metres into the air and was once known as the “Great American Pyramid”. When it was originally built (back in 1991), it was used as an arena and sports/entertainment complex. However, it was eventually closed, remodeled, and re-opened as a Bass Pro Shops megastore in 2015. As I entered the Bass Pro Shops at the

unique experience to sit out on the balcony at night, when the store is closed to the public, and gaze out at the store’s interior rather than the great outdoors. The exterior of the Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid is clad in stainless steel, and its interior contains the world’s tallest freestanding glass elevator. This elevator ride is included for hotel room guests, but for store visitors, it’s $10.00 (children can ride for $5.00 until 4 pm). I, of course, had to do this, too, and I ascended to the top of the 32-storey Pyramid. Here I found “The Lookout”, a breathtaking glass-floored observation deck that has been patterned after the Grand Canyon’s adrenaline-pumping Skywalk. It’s quite the view of the Mississippi River and downtown Memphis from up here! I also found a restaurant and bar at the top (the Lookout at the Pyramid), so I decided to stay here for a while. I can just imagine how much time an

QHC to open 15 new hospital beds with $1 million cash transfusion

When nothing but grim news about wait times and paients on stretchers in hospital emergency departments dominate headlines, Quinte Health Care got a ray of sunshine Monday. Ontario Health Minister Eric Hoskins announced Monday that $100 million is being spent to open 1,235 hospital beds throughout the province. The funding announcement translates to more than $1 million for Quinte Health Care and that means funding to cover the opening of 15 medical/surgery beds at various QHC sites. It has not yet been determined where the15 beds will be allocated. Quinte Health Care has a total 236 beds in hospitals in Bancroft, Trenton, Picton and Belleville. In a report to the QHC board, vice-president Carol Smith Romeril told board members, combined, QHC’s four hospital sites are “about 15 per cent over-capacity on a regular basis.. She said they have also hit patient “spikes” when hospitals have been as high as 30 per cent over capacity. “As with many hospitals in Ontario, QHC

over the years and the funding injection will help ease the burden of lengthy waits and even stays in emergency department while waiting for a ward bed to become available. We are grateful for this funding announcement,” said Walker.

has experienced unprecedented capacity issues over the summer months,” said communications manager Catherine Walker. “Now, as we face flu season, these additional dollars will aid in ensuring we can continue to extend quality care to our patients while remaining financially balanced.” The hospital corporation had been forced with the difficult decision of closing beds

“It is an acknowledgement of the pressures facing Ontario hospitals – and will help reduce ER lengths of stay and ensure our patients are receiving the care they need in the appropriate care areas at QHC hospitals. The additional dollars will help ensure we have the appropriate staff resources for the increased volume of patients.” -COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER CATHERINE WALKER

Author and band leader Andy Sparling had a busy night signing copies of his book: “The Commodores Orchestra –Dance of the Decades” for Anne Bunnet. Jack Evans/Metroland

BY JACK EVANS

Hastings County Historical Society Saturday passed on its normal program of a speaker and went for a book launch for one of North American’s most historic dance bands – the Belleville-based Commodores, which, next year marks its 90 continuous year of making music. Written by the current band leader, Andy Sparling, the book has a special interest for the society as it effectively put up the money to have the book, titled “The Commodores Orchestra – Dance of the Decades,” published. To signify that, society president Richard Hughes formally presented Sparling with the first copy of the book before the orchestra launched into a program for dancing or just listening to a capacity crowd of more than 200 in the National Air Force Museum of Canada. Close to 100 patrons also got sales off to a good start during the evening. In the book’s forward, prominent Canadian author Peter C. Newman, who was

Lou Rinaldi, MPP

Lest We Forget

among the special guests for the evening, noted that the Commodores gave their first performance in the spring of 1928 at the former Bay of Quinte Golf Club and have been going ever since. He goes on to describe the band’s sound as “an enduring interpretation of the music of our times.” Other special guests included Quinte native and internationally known drummer, Brian Barlow who is also a deejay on CJRT (Jazz) radio, Toronto, Big Band program Sunday afternoons, as master of ceremonies. He described The Commodores as “one of the most successful musical ensembles in Canadian history.” The band claims to be the oldest continuing dance band in Canada and probably in North America. Hughes, a long-time admirer of the orchestra, said when he heard Sparling was working on a history for its 90th anniversary, he figured that the society should be involved, and promptly agreed to be publisher for the book, now available for $25 a copy. While many in the audience sat and enjoyed the music, there were plenty of couples up dancing the evening away. Historical Society officials must now figure out what to do for an encore for next year’s fund-raising banquet.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Find a way to fund needs for towns, cities ultimate leather SALE Re: Editorial, Oct. 26: “Municipalities can’t bear the burden” Dear Editor, Ontario’s municipal governments face a funding gap of $4.9 billion each year for the next 10 years and property taxes would have to rise to 8% annually to fill it. That’s a massive increase for property taxpayers. Yet our roads, bridges, transit and other services are used by everyone, including visitors. Municipalities only collect 9% of every household tax dollar. They do not have access to the “myriad of revenue options the province has.” That’s why AMO is proposing a greater Local Share of tax dollars for our communities by way of a 1% sales tax dedicated to municipal infrastructure. When provincial parties dismiss this proposal outright, they’re not fighting for lower taxes, they’re simply shifting the burden onto the property tax base. They are in effect choosing higher property taxes over other options. If Ontarians want to live in 21st century communities, we can’t keep funding municipal governments the way we did in 1867. Lynn Dollin, President, Association of Municipalities of Ontario

Prompt and competent support by a wide range of community partners played a key role in getting Hastings County’s application for provincial funding for the Home for Good project, council was reminded last week. The much-discussed project drew some $6 million in funding, approved by the province for a provincial Home for Good program build of 40-units for the county to own and operate, including 24-7 on-site support for those who are homeless or particularly vulnerable in finding safe housing. The funding goes beyond just the building and includes rent-geared-to-income support dollars for the new units, plus support for the homeless or at-risk homeless in the private sector. The county has already issued a request for proposals on Oct. 7 following notification of the provincial approval on Sept. 11 and is looking to take over the new building after it is completed, targeted for October of next year. The county’s application came shortly after the province announced the new program in response to a well-recognized homeless problem in the area, put together with documentation by several community agencies all involved in homeless problems. These included ambulance, fire and police services plus health agencies, mental health and the regional welfare department. All of those groups regularly encounter those individuals who are in dire need of supported or affordable accommodations. “We want to thank all of our partners for their immediate response of preparing letters of support and partnerships that were created as a result of this important initiative,” an Hastings County Warden Rodney Cooney. article in the county’s official Hastings County Times presented to council, states. “Further information will be provided as the project continues in 2018.”

Take It Outside

More than just a spot to store your shovel The garden shed has made an amazing transformation over the last few years. No longer are homeowners satisfied with a little wooden shed in the back corner of the yard. Sheds now have to look good, hold more and even act as privacy screens as they are becoming a focal point in our outdoor living spaces. There are two reasons why this is happening. The first, backyards are getting smaller as homes are getting bigger. The available space outdoors is shrinking as we give up yard space for home space. This means that it is getting harder to hide our beat-up tins sheds behind a large bush anymore. If we want a spot to store the shovels and the mower, we have to be

By Carson Arthur

prepared to have guests see it. The other main reason has to do with our need for more. With all of the fantastic tools and outdoor furniture available, our need for storage has increased dramatically as we acquire more things. This means that our sheds are getting larger, making them even harder to keep discrete. Instead of helping my clients hide their sheds, I am encouraging them to bring their sheds front and centre. Here are two perfect examples of how sheds can be so much more in your backyard space. Tracy’s shed: Tracy has a very common dilemma. Her neighbours built a 2-story home close to her back fence, which

grey tones of her patio and fire pit, but also to have character and personality that is often lacking in modern design. In this case, I covered a simple asymmetrical panel shed with a stone veneer. The stone took about 5 hours to install, but completely changed the look of the shed. Now Shoana’s shed is a stunning focal point that has ample storage and completely changes the feel of the yard. With so many ways to make your shed more than a storage space, why wouldn’t you want to make a change? Try something different this summer and make sure you send me a picture.

ing it multi-purpose for the whole family. Shoana’s shed: Shoana wanted a shed at the back of her property but for a very different reason. Shoana wanted to use her shed as a backdrop for a long and linear space. Often called a bowling alley, this type of yard is tricky because the width is significantly smaller than the length, which means all of the elements have to bisect the space, effectively chopping it up. By filling the entire back of the space with a large and visually dominant focal point, we not only give it purpose, we made the yard feel shorter by changing the visual lines of sight. With a modern aesthetic, Shoana wanted her shed to blend with the

means their windows look straight into her yard. To help solve the problem, I incorporated a unique shed style to both look good, but to also to create some privacy for Tracy and her family. I used a saltbox roof styled shed to both anchor Tracy’s backyard. The average height of a peaked roof on these new sheds is 12-15’ and by adding a pair of lattice panels topped with a decorative arbour on each side of the shed, I was able to create instant privacy that is beautiful and functional at the same time. My favourite part of this transformation is that the shed not only holds all of the tools, but now Tracy’s children have hijacked the space as their playhouse, mak-

Broadband across rural areas a success story in progress: Hastings officials BY JACK EVANS

A recent conference of the Eastern Ontario Regional Caucus, held in Toronto was a positive event and a local initiative continues to draw praise, Hastings County officials reported to council last week. Warden Rodney Cooney said the event drew a full complement of Eastern Ontario county representatives plus their respective MPPs, several cabinet ministers and even a visit by Premier Kathleen Wynne. A key issue was more provincial support to expand broadband Internet services in rural areas. CAO Jim Pine said the successful expansion of broadband access for rural municipalities in Eastern Ontario is now drawing interest from other parts of Ontario and even jurisdictions in Alberta and other provinces. Originally a Hastings County initiative several years ago,

B12 Section B - Thursday, November 2, 2017

glass fibre cable and broadband services have already reached as far as Maynooth and while much of the county is covered, smaller gaps still remain. The service that has been completed already has had substantial impact in business and residential development in northern areas, county officials said. Such an initiative requires funding and, for the program to expand, the county and others in Eastern Ontario are going to need more from senior government. “The provincial official did not tell us to go away,” said Pine, indicating that chances for more provincial and federal support for the broadband initiative remains on the table. Cooney said, on another pressing issue, there was little discussion at the caucus about planning concerns and provincial policies that seem geared to limiting residential growth in rural areas.

New disease threatens area deer population BY JACK EVANS

Hastings County - Not the kind of story some won’t want to hear just as deer hunting season starts, but wildlife management officials are calling on hunters and rural property owners to watch out for epizootic hemorrhagic disease, known as EHD. A notice from the Ministry of Natural Resources to Hastings County council last week explained that the disease is “an infectious and often fatal virus in white-tailed deer.” It is recognized by signs of extensive hemorrhages at numerous sites throughout the body, including a blue tongue and is spread by midges, commonly referred to as “no see-ums.” The letter states that “hunters, wildlife managers, farmers and livestock owners need to know about EHD and its ability to cause large-scale outbreaks in deer and its potential implications to domestic livestock. There are no available

effective treatments or vaccinations.” Originating in the southern United States, the disease causes loss of appetite, loss of fear of people, weakness, excessive salivation, rapid pulse and fever. The latter leads to deer seeking water to cool off and carcasses are often found near shorelines. The ministry is working with Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative and other agencies to monitor the extent of the virus in Ontario. Those who see signs of infected animals are being asked to report them to the Canadian Wildlife Health Co-operatiave at 1-866-6734781 and also to submit carcasses or vital organs promptly before decay . Instructions on this are available at website www.cwhc-rcsf.ca. Rules about carcass disposal are also available at municipal offices. By way of light at the tunnel’s end, the disease is no threat to humans.

In the latest installment of the ‘local resident wins lotto’ saga, Mary Labine of Belleville travelled to Toronto recently to claim her winnings, totaling $122,497 in the August 9, 6/49 draw. She waited more than two months to collect her winnings, for reasons that weren’t explained.

Ontario Lottery & Gaming did not release any further information about the winner or what she plans to do with the windfall, but said the winning ticket was purchased at Rossmore Stop on Highway 62 in Prince Edward County.

Tourism awards draw strong interest BY JACK EVANS

Hastings County’s “HOTie” tourist award program is no longer small time, say organizers. This year’s competition, held last week in Bancroft, drew some 132 nominations for just three awards, two of which were won by the municipality of Tweed and a Tweed theatre group. Warden Rodney Cooney and other members of county council last Thursday took time to congratulate the Tweed community for garnering two of the three major awards. One was for the village itself and its hugely successful “Farm to Table” banquet last summer. That garnered Festival of the Year award. Also in Tweed was the Tourism Champion of the Year for the

original Tweed musical by Tim Porter and the Tweed and Company Theatre for its Canada 150th special project. The several performances in July drew large crowds. The final award, MVP (Individual of the Year) went to Nancy Hopkins, publisher and editor of Country Roads Magazine. Councillors also had some suggestions though, upon which economic and tourism director Andrew Redden said he would act. They want runner-up awards, considering the large number of nominations. Only three prizes for 132 nominations was not fair enough, several contended. The program is administered by Hastings Highlands and its Chamber of Commerce.

‘Rural Schools Matter’ drive underway A local effort has begun to help support a province-wide call to protect rural schools from closures and amalgamations. Over the past few weeks Rural Schools Matter has released a petition throughout the province of Ontario asking the Ontario Ministry of Education to make their moratorium on school closures retroactive to September 2016, to provide fair and equitable Pupil Accommodation Review processes that school boards must follow, and review the current Funding Formulae for all rural, northern and urban schools. Several MPPs across the province have given positive feedback about this initiative and plan to present the petition to the Ontario Legislative Assembly over the next several weeks starting with Peggy Sattler, NDP Education Critic, on Wednesday, 18 October. Locally, PC MPP Todd Smith will be presenting the petition on behalf of the Hastings Prince Edward riding during the week of Nov. 15. On June 28, the Ministry of Education declared a moratorium on school closures. After a provincewide consultation process, the Ministry decided the Pupil Accommodation Review Guideline was flawed and in need of an overhaul. The moratorium will remain in place until the Guideline has been redone. In the meantime, several schools, such as Queen Elizabeth in Picton and Quinte and Moira Secondary in Belleville, remain open having been voted for closure by school boards using the old Guideline. Rural Schools Matter believes it would be in the spirit of the moratorium to allow these schools to remain open until the need for their closure can be

reassessed under the new Guideline, giving boards a chance to reconsider their decisions using a more equitable process. We recognize we can’t change those closures already completed, but we hope this petition gives Ontario voters a chance to tell the Education Minister that we want students to remain in schools set to close in June 2018, or later. For those schools not yet affected by Accommodation Reviews, your voice must be heard as well. This petition asks for better educational opportunities through programming, staffing and building maintenance, if the funding model for rural schools is changed and as student populations decline it might mean the difference in how school closures are decided in future. Over the past year Rural Schools Matter has been working to highlight the importance of small, rural schools, not only in our area, but everywhere. It is our feeling that single-school communities depend quite heavily on their schools to be sustainable. When schools are closed in these communities it becomes very difficult to attract young families resulting in a slow die-out as jobs disappear and the population ages. Our goals are to maintain awareness of the critical role schools play in their communities and to protect these schools now and in the future. Signatures can be added by anyone (not just parents) living within the Hastings Prince Edward School Board district. Currently there is a copy of the petition at Kelly’s Shop on the Main Street in Picton. If you are interested in hosting the petition at your business, or just signing, you can contact J.J. Syer at jjsyer@yahoo.ca. All petitions must be completed and collected by Monday, Nov. 6.

CAS honours foster parents BY JACK EVANS

Highland Shores Children’s Aid Society has had a busy October, with its “purple” theme for Child Protection Month, as well as National Foster Family Week, Oct. 1521. At two separate banquets, one on Oct 19 at Occasions by the Bay in Trenton and on Oct. 20 at The Gate Restaurant in Gilmore for North Hastings, the society handed out service recognition awards to 44 foster parents or couples representing five through 35 years. The only 35 – year award went to Pat Andrews of Northumberland County, part of the area the reorganized agency now serves, as well as Hastings and Prince Edward counties. Another special award, the Board of Directors award, was presented to Ernie and Linda Parsons at the Trenton banquet in

recognition of not only foster parenting for 30 years, but also Ernie’s years of service on the board and his support for the agency during the several years he served as MPP. A 30-year award also went to Catherine and John O’Rourke of Hastings County, plus 25 years for Kelli and Victor Estabrooks, of Gardenville, Prince Edward County. Twenty — year awards went to Joyce and Tom Reid, Janet and Paul Lyons, all of Hastings County and Bill and Joanne Van Den Broek of Northumberland. Recipients were scattered throughout all three counties. The society constantly needs new, competent foster parents and hopes that such recognition will encourage more citizens to participate.
