Hallowe’en Dance was a graveyard smash
By Kate Everson
News - Frankford - A teen Hallowe’en dance at the Frankford Lions Hall on October 26 was just the start of events for the Frankford Lions Club. “The kids were really encouraging,” said June Hill, who worked with organizer Jana Westlake and Helen Scott, Marion Wilman, Marjorie Chard, Ken and Earla Canizaro on the costume dance for kids ages 11 to 17. “They all said they had a good time. We are quite happy. The numbers were less than we expected, 22, but we are pleased overall for our first event. The feedback was really positive.” Results of the winners of the Hallowe’en Costume Dance are Sebastian Rightmeyer, Raquel Joslin and Mia Babcock. Winning the apple bobbing contest are Raquel Joslin and Natasha Rogers, both getting the apple in under one second. The winners took home gift certificates from local sponsors Walmart, Giant Tiger, Dimitri’s Pizza and Turning Heads hair salon. Four Spot Dancers Martina White, Freeman Spencer, Courtney Mountinay and Dominque Westlake took home Subway gift cards. June said the adults are asking for a Hallowe’en dance of their own. It’s too late for that, but the club is already working on the Christmas float for the Frankford Santa Claus parade on November 30. It will be all snowmen, dedicated to June’s daughter Kelly Hill who passed away last January with a lung disorder. “She loved snowmen,” June says. “She had 300 of them!” The float will have animated snowmen of all kinds. The Frankford Lions Club is also planning a Spring Fever Dance and a Valentine’s Day Dance. “By spring, a lot of people will be tired of keeping cooped up all winter,” explained June Hill. “We will be bringing some Fifties and Sixties music, a little Bee Bop to get them going!” June said she joined the club four years ago, along with her sister, just having moved to the area from “out west” in Saskatchewan and Alberta for 30 years. “I’m new to the community,” she said. “I want to keep things active. I’m the mouthy one!” Meanwhile, Lion Helen Scott is busy working on the Frankford Christmas Sharing Hampers. “We are now collecting donations for food and toys,” says Helen.

News - Quinte West - The city is crossing its fingers and hoping this application for provincial funding will work. “Upgrades to the Trenton Wastewater Treatment Plant is a priority project,” said Chris Angelo, director of Public Works and Environmental Services. Mayor John Williams asked why the previous application was not selected. Angelo said the government chose bridges over water plant projects. “The province announced $100 million for small rural and northern municipalities to help address critical road, bridge, water and wastewater projects identified as top priorities,” Angelo reported. “Having said that, $25 million of the $100 million fund has already been allocated for 21 projects [mostly bridges] which passed the pre-screening process in 2012, leaving $71 million for new applications and $4 million for completion of Asset Management Plans.” Angelo noted the Dundas Street Pump Station upgrade and expansion project did not pass the pre-screening process. The province has also advised that this amount of funding is capped at 90 per cent of the total project cost or $2 million whichever is lower. To put a project forward for consideration, a municipality must submit an Expression of

Interest for pre-screening by November 1, 2013. “Senior staff met and discussed several projects that may qualify,” noted Angelo. “We decided that the best overall project that would meet the screening criteria is the Trenton Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrade project.” JL Richards and Associates Ltd. conducted a condition assessment for the Trenton Water and Wastewater Plant in February, 2012. The structural, mechanical, electrical and architectural conditions were thoroughly reviewed. The Trenton service area was identified as having significant residential and industrial/commercial growth. The massive $75.5-million project would be phased in over several years. Phase One of the project addresses the treatment constraints of the existing plant that are limiting its performance, particularly during wet weather. Many of the upgrades are necessary to avoid further deterioration and potential safety risks. Cost of Phase One is $13,400,000. The city’s director of finance advised that the 2013 and 2014 water and wastewater projects are being financed through debt financing. “Funding from the province would significantly help in reducing some of this debt financing and help in stabilizing the rate structure,” David Clazie said.

Works and Environmental Services, said the preferred location for the new facility is the North Murray Industrial Park. He is hoping to get council approval to direct staff to proceed with the design and construction of the project. He told council that details of the project are linked to the city web site and people can comment on the plan. David Clazie, director of Financial and Corporate Services, has advised that the funding for this new facility is included in the city’s ten-year capital investment plan. Angelo said the new facility will actually save the city money. It will amalgamate eight buildings throughout the city into one. “The existing fragmented facilities will not meet the future needs of Public Works and Environmental Services,” Angelo stated. “These pre-amalgamation facilities are somewhat inadequate to effectively manage operations.” The city hired The Ventin Group Ltd. Architects to complete a facility review and develop a business case study. The report indicated inadequate space to maintain all the vehicles.
There was a poor layout in the existing buildings and poor circulation for vehicles. The lack of sufficient secure cold storage for all winter and summer servicing places greater demands on what little space is available. There is inadequate space for staff amenities such as office space, washrooms, lunchrooms and lockers, all contributing to a reduction in staff morale. There are currently eight existing facilities. The intent is to vacate five of them, including 30 Pelham Street, Trenton, 11 Nobes Road, Sidney, 79 Leopold Street, Trenton, 18 Pelham Street, Trenton, and 96 Wolfe Street, Frankford. Facilities at Tuckers Corners (Sidney Yard) and Murray Yard will be retained along with a Quonset Hut on Dufferin Avenue. Discussions are currently under way with Ontario Hydro regarding its interest in either 18 or 30 Pelham Street on a longterm lease. The 96 Wolfe Street, Frankford, site could be reassigned to Fire Services to better serve the Frankford/Batawa area, or this site could be sold. A portion of the 794 Vermilyea Road, Sidney site, will be reassigned for Fire Services and the new building on this site will be used for seasonal storage. The
714 Murray Street site will be used for seasonal storage because it is shared with Lower Trent Conservation and it would be difficult to sell or lease to other parties. The Quonset Hut at 133 Dufferin Avenue is the other facility that would remain because of contamination on the property. The existing domes at Wallbridge, Murray, Colonial, Aikens and Stirling would continue to be used for supply of winter sand and salt. “As council will recall, the city has lost the use of the Glen Miller dome effective August of this year,” Angelo noted. “The new consolidated facility would also become home to a new indoor sand and salt storage facility.” The proposed facility would be 78,000 square feet, complemented by 18,000 square feet of seasonal storage at the existing Murray and Sidney sites for a total storage of 100,000 square feet including 4,300 square feet of vehicle maintenance. The new centre will require a site of seven to eight acres. VG Architects estimate the cost to be between $17 and 21 million. “The outcome of the facility will be streamlined co-ordination of Public Works projects,”
Angelo said, “and improved service levels and better response times during extreme weather events.” It will also eliminate duplicated or redundant vehicles, buildings and equipment. “We expect a capital cost savings of over $5.3 million over the expected 30year life of the facility,” Angelo added. “The new facility will also enable inhouse fleet maintenance services for a further saving of $2.6 million.”

Quinte Waste Solutions starts contract with new trucks By Kate Everson
News - Quinte West What’s big and blue and better than ever? Answer: The new recycling trucks to start curbside collecting with Quinte Waste Solutions on November 4. “We have 16 on the way,” says Herb Lambacher, owner of HGC Management that has a six- to eight-year contract with the nine municipalities that make up Quinte Waste Solutions. HGC Management was the initial contractor when recycling began in Quinte region in 1990 and went until 2002. Waste Management has been holding the contract until November this year. “These new trucks will mean a better sort at the curb,” notes route supervisor
Marc Chartrand. “The drivers can get around easier on the outside.” He noted there will be less contamination since the recycling material will not be compacted in the truck. The trucks are also easier on drivers since the bins are only three feet off the ground. “The trucks are lighter,” noted Herb Lambacher. “They have one axle, not two and they take less fuel.” Lambacher compared the trucks to the ones they had when they first started recycling in 1990. “This is a Cadillac compared to those ones,” he said. He said each new truck costs $165,000 but they will last longer than the old ones did. Because the big wear is
chanic,” he added. HGC Management also has contracts with Cornwall, Brantford and Haldimand Norfolk. “The new trucks are working well where we have them in Haldimand,” Lambacher said. “It’s Walinga out of Guelph that makes them.” Quinte Waste Solutions is the operating name of the Centre and South Hastings Waste Services Board. Established in 1990, Quinte Waste Solutions provides curbside recycling, commercial recycling and household hazardous and electronic waste collection for the nine municipal partners In front of the new big blue truck are: general manager Rick Clow, chair Terry Cassidy, operations including Belleville, Quinte supervisor Kevin Jackson, route supervisor Marc Chartrand and owner Herb Lambacher.

Frankford Crescent with our own me- Stirling-Rawdon, Tweed and
Tyendinaga Township. Board chair Terry Cassidy noted they also do some municipalities that are not on the board. Cassidy noted that the new trucks will also mean a big improvement inside the recycling centre. Since it is not compacted in the truck it will be easier to separate and there will be less waste. “It’s a better product,” he said. “Our revenue is based on the sale of materials.” There are also more trucks on the road. Waste Management has 13 trucks and a spare, while HGC Management has 16 as of November 4. The new logo will be painted on the side. “A big credit to HGC,” Cassidy said. “It does improve recycling.”
Source Water Protection procedure irks some farmers By Kate Everson
“The Ontario Cattlemen’s Association has hired a person to advise them,” Harrison said. “This is a big issue.” He said one landowner found out they were taking out 5,000 acres of his land at the owner’s expense. “Cattle and water are an issue,” Harrison said. “It is going to be a big concern.” He said historically farmers naturally put their barn near water.
“People have rights,” he said. Ron Hamilton said the government is supposed to provide money for septic beds through Source Water Protection (SWP) but in places like Roblin Lake and the Stirling-Rawdon area there is still no money. “We have to make sure the province provides more money for cattlemen to keep their cattle out of the streams,” he said.

News - Quinte West - Protecting water quality may be seen as a threat to some local landowners. “We all want clean water,” said Jim Harrison. “But you have the right to say NO as a property owner.” The Drinking Water Source Protection Act for Clean Water is pushing forward with its plan to clean up local threats to water quality.
Hamilton said he hopes the money comes through and added this doesn’t apply to every farm, just the ones in the SWP area. Harrison said some properties were never in the SWP area but some got a letter anyway. The recent Source Water Protection Quinte Region committee meeting at the Quinte Conservation boardroom on September 26 provided members with information of the threats verification or “ground truthing” completed over the summer. The total number of identified significant threats for all 11 municipal drinking water systems decreased slightly overall. It was noted that the municipal wells for the village of Madoc are influenced by the surface water in Deer and Madoc Creeks. The study looked at how land use activities along the creeks may affect water quality. Total Coliform, E. Coli and Organic Nitrogen from the creeks are known to affect the raw water quality in these municipal wells. (Well water is treated to meet safe drinking water standards prior to distribution.) Input from the
clerks of Centre Hastings and Madoc Township and discussions held in May, 2013 Source Protection Committee led to the setback from the creeks for this study being set at 30 metres, rather than 120 metres. Discussions with the Ministry of the Environment confirmed this was an acceptable approach. This has significantly reduced the number of parcels of land in this area that will be affected by the source protection policies. Threats enumeration for this study identified 16 septic systems and 45 parcels of farmland where activities could impact water quality in the source water. Risk management plans are required for these agricultural parcels.

OPINION

The downfall of the NSA
Editorial - Politicians and government officials rarely tell outright lies; the cost of being caught out in a lie is too high. Instead, they make carefully worded statements that seem to address the issue, but avoid the truth. Like, for example, Caitlin Hayden, the White House spokesperson who replied on October 24 to German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s angry protest at the tapping of her mobile phone by the U.S. National Gwynne Dyer Security Agency. “The United States is not monitoring and will not monitor the communications of Chancellor Merkel,” she said. Yes, but has the U.S. been listening to Merkel’s mobile phone calls from 2002 until the day before yesterday? “Beyond that, I’m not in a position to comment publicly on every specific alleged intelligence activity.” By October 27, the argument had moved on. The question now was: did President Barack Obama know the Chancellor’s phone was bugged? (The German tabloid Bild am Sonntag reported that General Keith Alexander, head of the NSA, told Obama about it in 2010. Obama allegedly said that the surveillance should continue, as “he did not trust her.”) Now it was the turn of the NSA spokesperson, Vanee Vines, to deny the truth. “[General] Alexander did not discuss with President Obama in 2010 an alleged foreign intelligence operation involving German Chancellor Merkel, nor has he ever discussed alleged operations involving Chancellor Merkel,” she said. But she carefully avoided saying that Obama had not been told at all. The ridiculous thing about these meticulously crafted pseudo-denials is that they leave a truth-shaped hole for everyone to see. Of course the United States has been listening to Angela Merkel’s phone calls since 2002, and of course Obama knew about it. It would have been quite easy to deny those facts if they were not true. The NSA is completely out of control. Its German outpost was brazenly located on the fourth floor of the U.S. embassy in Berlin, and leaked documents published by Der Spiegel say that the NSA maintains similar operations in 80 other U.S. embassies and consulates around the world. The Guardian, also relying on documents provided by whistle-blower Edward Snowden, reported recently that a total of 35 national leaders have been targeted by the NSA. We know that the German, Brazilian and Mexican leaders
were bugged, but it’s almost certain that the leaders of France, Spain and Italy, Egypt, Israel and Saudi Arabia, and Japan, India and Indonesia were also targeted. Not to mention Russia and China. “Friendly governments and societies that seek to build a true strategic partnership … cannot allow recurring illegal actions to take place as if they were normal,” Roussef concluded. “They are unacceptable.” And you wonder how the brilliant, power-drunk fools at the NSA could possibly have believed they could get away with this kind of behaviour indefinitely. The 4.9 million (!) Americans with access to classified information include 480,000 civilian contractors with the same “top secret” security clearance as Snowden. Even if all the military and public servants could be trusted to keep the NSA’s guilty secret forever (unlikely) and only one in a hundred of the contractors was outraged by it, then there were still 4,800 potential whistle-blowers waiting to blow. If Snowden hadn’t, somebody else would have. When the astounding scale and scope of the agency’s operations finally came out, it was bound to create intense pressure on Washington to rein in the NSA. The agency can deflect the domestic pressure, to some extent, by insisting that it’s all being done to keep Americans safe from terrorism, but it can’t persuade the president of South Korea or the prime minister of Bangladesh that she was being bugged because she was a terrorist suspect. The NSA’s worst abuse has been its violation of the privacy of hundreds of millions of private citizens at home and abroad, but it’s the pressure from furious foreign leaders that will finally force the U.S. government to act. “Trust in our ally the USA has been shattered,” said German Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich on Sunday. “If the Americans have tapped mobile phones in Germany, then they have broken German law on German soil.” This will end up in the German courts, and probably in those of many other countries as well (and Snowden may well end up being granted asylum in Germany). To rebuild its relations with its key allies, the White House is going to have to radically curb the NSA’s powers. Good. We don’t have to listen to the spooks and their allies telling us that since the new communications technologies make total surveillance possible, it is therefore inevitable. “If it can be done, it will be done” is a counsel of despair. Most of the NSA’s ever-expanding activities over the past ten years have served no legitimate purpose, and it’s high time that it was forced to obey both the letter and the spirit of the law.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Eco-terrorists pose a significant threat Dear Editor, This country spends millions every year to battle terrorists or those radical homebrews from inflicting murder and mayhem on innocent Canadians. Yet we have First Nation eco-terrorists who have been perpetrating criminal activity against their fellow citizens for years without feeling the full impact of law enforcement. Why? This latest uprising in New Brunswick is just another example that some out-of-control Indian group believe it has the right to be as extreme as it feels because law enforcement is reluctant to go against the politically correct code by cracking down hard on offenders. When the McGuinty government looked the other way during the Caledonia fiasco it was the signal that Mohawk offenders weren’t governed under the same rules as the rest of us. So criminal activity continues unabated, now directed against oil and gas fracking, even though there’s never been a single incident of water contamination since they started this exploration 50 years ago. If people opposed to green energy

initiatives such as wind turbines and solar panels acted with Molotov cocktails, IEDs and assault rifles, used intimidation tactics, burned police cruisers and seized cameras and sound equipment from the media, how drastic do you think the response would be from the OPP or RCMP? The New Brunswick protestors, who are 85 per cent unemployed, insist they are their own nation and not subject to Canadian laws but why then do they continue to accept millions of dollars annually from the federal government? They could use the jobs that will become available once a gas operation becomes operational. It’s too bad we all can’t get along in this country to support a strong economy that would be beneficial to everyone, including First Nations people. I don’t believe our World War II heroes fought and died on battlefields around the world for the kind of disgraceful terrorist outburst that occurred in New Brunswick. This so-called warrior society is an organized para-military organization with ready access to weapons and it’s about time law enforcement took them seriously. Rolly Ethier, Campbellford
Who knew? By Terry Bush
Editorial - Since nobody else seems to want to step up and admit they knew about the goings-on in the Prime Minister’s Office, I’ll have to fess up. Yes, I knew all about Senator Mike Duffy and his bogus expense claims. I also knew about Pamela Wallin for that matter and Patrick Brazeau and I talked Liberal Senator Marc Harb into doing the right thing and resigning. Prime Minister Stephen Harper, the renowned micromanager, didn’t have a clue what was going on with the senators he handpicked for the chamber of sober second thought but I did. And it was me who asked Nigel Wright to cut a cheque to cover Duffy’s expenses as well. Nobody knew about that but me. What a relief. I feel a load has been lifted from my shoulders and the truth has set me free. The trouble with telling lies is; if you tell them all the time, it’s really hard to remember the truth. So while I’m being honest, I’ll also admit that I really don’t know what my staff is up to even though I’m the editor of this paper. And if you believe any of this, you’re probably a person who takes as gospel every word that comes out of the mouth of the leader of the political party you favour. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with the Senate scandal when the stories change every day. Mike Duffy’s latest revelations come at a very inopportune time for the Harper government with card-carrying Conservatives congregating in Calgary this week for their annual love-in. What should have been yet another, “You’re doing a great job, hurray for the European Free Trade Agreement,” moment for Harper will now have some Conservatives, especially those of the Progressive persuasion wondering if the Prime Minister has lost a step. I’m sure the Liberals also had a few worries about their future when Jean Chretien faltered during his scandal-filled third term, yet another reason to impose two-term limits on the office of Prime Minister. Mike Duffy isn’t one to keep his mouth shut. He was a respected broadcaster once upon a time and one who covered his share of scandals. So his latest revelations in the Senate on Monday that not only did he receive money to pay off his expenses but his legal bills were also paid for by the Conservative Party have really stoked the fire. I’m sure if I was a member of the Conservative Party, I might be a little upset at how my donations have been used if this is true. Duffy also said he was given a script by the Prime Minister’s office saying that for public consumption, he and his wife took out a loan at the Royal Bank to repay his expenses and he added that he never saw a cheque from Nigel Wright. Harper’s version of events in the House of Commons on Monday differed from Senator Duffy’s, laying all the blame on Duffy. So who’s lying? My guess is both of them may have a few issues with honesty. First we had Harper telling Canadians what great assets his hand-picked senators were (most of us realized their greatest asset was the ability to fund raise for the Conservative Party). Then he continued to back them through the early months of the scandal. Next he demanded they pay back their ill-gotten expense money and now that the scandal has taken on a life of its own he is leading the charge cut them loose without pay. One would have to wonder why, when he first learned of the extent of the scandal, he didn’t move to get rid of them then. Harper has also changed his story a few times as far as his former chief of staff Nigel Wright is concerned. Harper said he knew nothing about Wright’s cheque to Duffy as Wright acted alone. Now he admits certain members of the Prime Minister’s Office knew about it but he didn’t. It was said at the time that Nigel Wright resigned for his wrongdoing because he didn’t want to his bad judgment to reflect poorly on the Prime Minister’s Office. It’s almost beyond belief that someone as controlling as Stephen Harper wouldn’t have known what his chief of staff was up to. Then on Monday in a radio interview, Harper dropped the bombshell that Nigel Wright didn’t resign, he was let go for the indiscretion of giving away 90 grand of his own money to, option one: help out a friend or option two: save taxpayers some money. So if Harper now says he fired a man with impeccable credentials because he was part of a cover-up, and Harper admits other staffers in his office knew about this same cover-up, why haven’t we heard of anyone else in the PM’s office being sacked. It’s getting almost impossible to keep track of all this without a program. It does, however, bode well for the Liberals and NDP if they decide to follow the Tory playbook with a few well-placed attack ads during the next election. Fair and transparent government you say … And on Monday as he was wont to do when he was a broadcaster, Mike Duffy broke for commercial adding there was more to come. Stay tuned; this one isn’t going away any time soon.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Old age pensioners beware: poverty looms my personal situation. I’ve worked my 40+ years in Canada, as a head village librarian and before that as a cook (chef papers from George Brown). After all those years of hard work and contributing now I’m being treated like a lumpen who’s never done a day’s work or contributed an effing thing in their lives. In fact a lumpen drug dealer I know of, who never worked so didn’t qualify for any Canada Pension Plan, received $1,350 a month—still pitiful. But this is far more than the $950 a month I’m currently receiving because I made the mistake of working, and then when I was forced into early retirement I had to withdraw “too much” ($15K) from my depleted RRSP savings the year before

expendable when it suits his purpose. Mr. Harper can stand and spew all he wants about Duffy paying back $90,000, and he may well expect us to swallow that drivel. However, what he does not state is that he knew about it in November but did nothing until February when the polls suggested his base was getting upset. However it was Nigel Wright who actually paid the bill, which we are expected to believe he knew nothing about. Mr. Harper has changed his story so many times about who knew what and when, I don’t know how anyone could believe his “self-righteous” indignation now. But surprisingly, some still do. Let us not forget that those three Senators, the most rabid Harper defenders, who spared no time or expense to travel the country, no doubt at the party’s behest, and on Harper’s behalf and who played no small role
have any surplus money to spend on luxuries like dining out occasionally, or travelling around Canada, or enjoying cultural activities like the ROM or AGO or even a frigging local evening at the cineplex, with maybe a beer afterwards. Henry Ford knew he had to pay a decent wage so his workers could buy his cars, but these Harperite ideologues are making it impossible for seniors to avail ourselves of the basic necessities of life, much less being able to stimulate our faltering economy by buying a few cultural extras. As my Zen master is wont to say, “Please wake up!” Chris Faiers Marmora
A piece of history recovered
What about the folks under the bus? Dear Editor, I sit and watch in awe at the situation unfolding in the Senate. It’s like a slow motion car wreck you don’t want to see, but can’t take your eyes off. The purpose of the Senate is to review legislation and act as watchdogs on the Federal Government for the benefit of regional constituents. That would be us good folks. What it has become, thanks to the appointment of 59 Harper Hacks, is a kangaroo court charged to do the will of one man, the Prime Minister; a Prime Minister who sees everyone as
I turned 65. A beginning solution to some of this inequity would be to raise the minimum monthly OAS payment to at least $1K, which is a measly $12K a year (who can live on that?). But if I were receiving my $400 a month CPP plus $1K a month OAS, well, I could almost survive, and at least I’d be receiving the same amount as the retired local lumpen drug dealer. And I don’t understand why all the younger baby boomers aren’t burning down the offices of their local members of parliament; these younger boomer suckers will have to work and wait until age 67 to begin receiving their OAS pittance. What’s so wrongheaded about chiselling seniors is that we don’t
in his re-election are now being turfed under the bus. Like so many others, for the sake of expediency, without due process, nor a chance to defend themselves they were expected to lie there and take it. Believe me, I’m no apologist for these three, or the many others who find themselves stacked like cordwood under the Harper Bus. But I do believe in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and in due process and the concept of innocent until proven guilty. That should be the least we can expect in a democracy. What is going on in the government is wrong on countless levels and as fairminded Canadians we should not stand for it. If these three, once fair-haired children of Stephen Harper’s cadre have come to this, what of the rest of us. Denyse Mouck Stirling
Dear Editor, I would like to share my congratulations through you and your readers to the Consecon Masonic Lodge for they have recently brought home to their lodge and community a piece of memorabilia. Enclosed please find a photo of an advertising canvas Influenza Immunization that previously hung on the Community Clinics 2013 lodge stage as a backdrop from Location Date Time approximately Belleville: Holy Rosary Parish Friday, Nov.1 10:00am – 3:00pm 1944-1977. 169 North Park St. The canvas was
removed in 1977 for the removal of the stage and the addition of kitchen facilities. In 2013, Mr. Keen began a campaign to locate this backdrop and in September this year, the lodge members not only located this item but a donor came forward and donated the backdrop to the lodge. The photo shows part of the backdrop at the lodge’s monthly supper on September 19. Congratulations to all involved with bringing this piece home. Marilyn Hopkins, Consecon

Dear Editor, If you’re approaching age 65 and anticipating receiving a living pension with Old Age Security, well, it ain’t gonna happen under the cheapo conservative Harperite regime. The current rate is around $550 a month, the same as a welfare recipient. And you’ll be treated with about as much respect as a welfare recipient. You now have to prove you qualify: receiving an OAS pension has become like qualifying for Unemployment Insurance (oops, I mean “employment insurance” in Orwell’s newspeak). The Harperite tactic is just avoiding and ignoring you when you become a senior, after all, you are a supplicant, when all that money should be given to
News - Belleville - Everyone knows the Quinte region is a tourist’s delight, but for the new Bay of Quinte Living Council, the goal is to promote the region as a resident’s delight as well. “The goal of Bay of Quinte Living is to drive growth in new families, and individuals to the Bay of Quinte Region,” said President Adrian Bax. Formed within the last year, the Bay of Quinte Living Council is made up of a number of local organizations and businesses, and essentially serves as an extension of the regional marketing plan of the Bay of Quinte Tourism Council. The main difference of course, is that while the Tourism Council aims to bring temporary visitors to the area, the Living Council wants to bring people here to stay.
“Why we’re doing this … is that there has been a problem with growth in the area, and there’s a lot of problems with that,” said council treasurer and Bay of Quinte Tourism Council president Ryan Williams. “For one, this demographic in this area is an older population, and for new jobs and to bring in new ideas and really be able to hold up the region without having ballooning budgets, you really need some sort of a population growth.” To help the Living Council achieve their goal, they’ve launched a new web page through the <bayofquinte.ca portal>, alongside their tourism and business section of the web site. The new feature offers information on local jobs, healthcare and education, and provides maps and information from local realtors and builders on new developments in the area. A partner-
ship with local area magazine Quinte and County Living also offers a content section with articles on the region’s attributes. “For people looking to live here, there’s 1,200 kilometres of shoreline, we have over 25 new housing developments … and our hospitals and our healthcare and our education are top notch,” Williams said. And it’s not just the City of Belleville the web site, and the group are promoting. It all falls under the regional market-
ing strategy that aims to bring people to all the communities in the region, whether that be Belleville, Quinte West, Brighton, Napanee, Deseronto, Stirling, or Prince Edward County. The Bay of Quinte Living Council is made up of the Quinte Homebuilders, the brokerages of Royal Le page, RE/ MAX Quinte, and Exit Realty, CFB Trenton Family Military Resource Centre, the Municipalities of Brighton, Quinte West, and Belleville, Bay of Quinte Tourism and
QEDC. “We are seeing partnerships that no other region is seeing, with dollars from hotels and tourism working with dollars from developers and realtors together in regional branding and development,” said Williams. “A unique perspective that we all grasp together is that together with tourism and our realtors, home builders, and municipalities, we can pool our resources to do some real marketing together.” R0012382839

They also need three new cribs and toys for the children. “We’ve been here ten years and we’ve done a lot,” Cassidy said. “The major facade outside is done. It looks the best it has in years.” The small playground out back needs “a touch-up” too. “We certainly appreciate donations,” he said. “It costs a lot to renovate. I hope others will help out.”
He noted that local artist Brian McDonald has been adding a splash of colour to the walls by painting fabulous murals, including one of three parrots and another scene with a polar bear and an eagle.

Overcoming fear By Steve Jessel
News - Belleville - It hasn’t always been an easy road in Canada for South Korean immigrant Margaret Seu. Arriving in Canada some 30 years ago, Seu was soon the operator of her own convenience store, working from 6 a.m. until the store closed at midnight for 25 years. Along the way, she said she picked up little bits and pieces of the English language, but it just wasn’t enough. “I could speak pretty good for convenience store language, but when you’re out of the store, you have difficulty carrying on a conversation,” Seu said, from the Loyola Adult School of Continuing Education English as a Second Language (ESL) open house in Belleville on October 22. “You’re so busy running a business, you don’t really have an opportunity to improve your English.” All these years later, the progress Seu has made with the help of the ESL program at Loyola, where she has been enrolled for the past year and a half, is clear. Currently, roughly 45 students are enrolled in the program, which offers both day and night classes for landed immigrants, Canadian citizens, permanent residents and temporary foreign workers looking to improve their English proficiency. This past week, the school officially celebrated ESL week with roughly 40 other communities across the province, including Trenton and Brighton. “We’re celebrating the efforts of our students to learn English and to integrate into the community,” said instructor Barbara Dick. “They bring skills, and talents to our community, but they are not going to get anywhere unless they know English. I always think of it as, we’re on the front line of our multiculturalism.” Different schools offer different levels of English training according to the Canadian language benchmark. In Belleville, Dick said Loyola offers from a pre-benchmark status up until level nine out of a possible 12 levels. “If you want to work in a confectionary, you just need everyday English, but if you want to get your medical licence or engineering licence you need a higher level of academics,” she said. For Seu, knowing just a basic level of English was not enough. Misunderstandings were frequent, and she said that while her heart may have meant one
thing, often the words that came out of her mouth meant something else. “I made a decision to improve my English, so that I can become like one of you, like a Canadian,” Seu said. “I wanted to speak like you guys. I would like to fit in, I would like to contribute my talents, and my efforts in this society.” Seu said the instructors at Loyola were incredible when it came to breaking things down to a level she and others could understand with their limited grasp of the language. With their help, Seu now speaks perfectly fluent English, and works as a financial representative for a local financial services company, helping Canadians save money. “This place is amazing, teachers understand what im-
migrants go through,” Seu said. “They provide so much information that you can’t get from other sources, because language comes in between.” Seu said she wanted to make sure to thank all the instructors who teach in the ESL program, noting the lengths they sometimes have to go to get their lesson across. “When you don’t speak the language, and when you don’t understand, the fear comes in,” Seu said, when asked how she felt now that she could communicate and speak fluently. “You have so much ability, you know so much and you can do so much for the community, but because of the language, when you don’t understand, you don’t know what to do. You’re afraid to say some- Loyola instructor Sharon Cathcart gets a little instruction on a cultural dance during the Loyola Adult School of Continuing thing that’s wrong.” Education English as a Second Language (ESL) open house in Belleville on October 22.

Students learn how not to party with P.A.R.T.Y.

Quinte West – Students at Trenton High School got a first hand look at how not to party. A scenario played out in the parking lot of the Trenton Memorial Hospital on October 24 involved emergency response teams reacting to a drunk driving incident involving four young people. It’s called the P.A.R.T.Y. Program. The goal of P.A.R.T.Y. (Prevent Alcohol and Risk-Related Trauma in Youth) Program is to provide young people with information about injury (trauma) that will enable them to recog-
nize potential injury producing situations, to make preventionoriented choices, and to adopt behaviours that minimize unnecessary risk. The scene was gruesome. Two young men were still in the car that had crashed into a pole. Two others, not belted in, were sprawled on the ground, later to be pronounced dead. The man at the wheel had beer cans all around him and a cell phone in his hand. He and his passenger in the back seat were bleeding and trapped in the vehicle.

Very soon the paramedics, fire, police and funeral service were at the scene. The driver was arrested for drunk driving and taken away in handcuffs after he was pulled from the vehicle. His passenger was comforted and kept still while firefighters used the Jaws of Life and ripped off the roof to get him out. The ambulance was waiting. The two dead youth on the ground were covered with a blanket while the living were taken care of. A distraught woman, a mother of one of the victims, screamed and could not be comforted.
“It may take 20 to 30 minutes for help to arrive,” noted OPP Inspector Mike Reynolds. “People make bad choices. It affects us all.” He said the emergency service personnel were also affected and had to live with these memories every day. They have to go to the parents and tell them the news, then escort them to the morgue to identify the victims. “It’s not a very pleasant job,” he said. He said parents need to let their children know they will drive them home
any time, anywhere, with just a phone call, no questions asked. “This is a tragic situation we can avoid,” he said. Reynolds added that in court the situation is relived and victim impact statements taken. He has talked to many families and know how they relive it every anniversary. “Your worst day is when we have to be busy,” he said. “It’s not pleasant having to identify loved ones. I hope you get something out of this. This is as realistic as you can get.” This program is a vital component of the growing community effort to reduce
death and injury in alcohol and risk-related crashes and other incidents. The P.A.R.T.Y. Program was founded at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in 1986. The target audience is Grade 10 students. These students follow the course of injury from occurrence, through transport, treatment, rehabilitation and community re-integration phases. They interact with a team which includes paramedics, physicians, nurses, police officers and other health care professionals. For more information visit the P.A.R.T.Y. web site at <www.party.com>.

Police investigating four break-ins
News - Stirling - The Stirling-Rawdon Police responded to 29 calls for service between October 21 and 28, 2013, and are continuing to investigate a series of break-ins reported on October 23. A total of four residential break and enters in the Ryan Road, Ridge Road and Hollowview Road areas were reported during daylight hours, where culprits entered the residences by forcing open doors or windows before making off with an undetermined amount of jewellery and electronics.
Police Chief Brian Foley says several similar break-ins, which may be related, have also been reported in the surrounding area and are also under investigation by nearby OPP detachments. One home, equipped with a security system, sustaining damage from a break-in, but when the alarm sounded the individuals fled, Foley says. Police also responded to three false 911 calls and one alarm call which was also false. RIDE was conducted with no impaired drivers, however, provincial offences notices were issued.
Next on the priority list for the HPEDSB is a similar consolidation project, but this time in Marmora. The board is making a separate request for $8.1 million from the Ministry for the demolition of the existing Marmora Senior Public School and the construction of a 313-pupil place school on the site. This proposal would see consolidation of the existing JK to Grade 3 program at Earl Prentice Public School and the existing Grade 4 to 8 program at Marmora Senior Public School. This project also has a planned opening date of 2015-2016. “There’s two schools close by, there’s opportunity to look at consolidating it to one school and improving the efficiency of operation,” Miller explained. “There is some amount of pupil space reduction that could happen through that but we see the biggest opportunity in just efficiency of how the school would operate, and again it presents an opportunity for us to offer an improved learning environment for our students.” The last project on the wish list for the school board is a new Junior Kindergarten to Grade 6 replacement school on the Bayside Public School site in Quinte West; $8.8 million in funding is being requested to help demolish the two buildings on site (Bayside Public School and the Annex) and construct a 380-pupil facility ready for 2016-2017. “Basically it’s a very old facility; this would provide us the opportunity to put two buildings into one and to improve our efficiency of operation at that space,” Miller said.
News - Belleville - At approximately 10:30 a.m. on October 27, police responded to a Coleman Street residence to investigate a report of a missing person.

News - Belleville - With a new school year comes new opportunities for funding for the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board (HPEDSB) and in 2013-2014 the board has identified three capital priority business cases to submit to the Ministry of Education for approval. The first, and most highly prioritized business case would see a new Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8 school built on the site of Queen Elizabeth Public School in Trenton. The board is requesting $13.3 million from the Ministry to construct a consolidated replacement school that would house four currently separate education institutions: Breadner Elementary School, College Street Public School, North Trenton Public
School and the aforementioned Queen Elizabeth Public School. The proposal comes after the board in June approved a recommendation that Breadner Elementary School and College Street Public School be closed and declared surplus to the board. A new facility would aim to house 519 pupils, with a planned opening date of 2015-2016. “Trenton has had the most work done on it from a community perspective, it’s gone through a full accommodation review as community consultation,” said board superintendent Leslie Miller. “And it does, because of the enrollment changes in the Trenton community, represent a project that would speak to the future needs of enrollment and give some opportunity for consolidation of pupil spaces.”

Symposium reflects on “the great robbery” By Richard Turtle
News - Belleville - A day-long symposium exploring land use issues, from both First Nations and settler perspectives, offered a historical and social view of the local area and the resulting changes that followed the arrival of the first immigrants from Europe. Held at the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre and organized by the Deseronto Archives Board and Community Archives of Belleville and Hastings County, the Saturday information session, dubbed The Land that Supports our Feet, was attended by about 100 people, much to the delight of organizers. Deseronto Archives Board Chair Paul Robertson says the response was excellent both in numbers and participation. Attendance alone, he says, topped their highest expectations. Beginning at 9 a.m. last Saturday, the Symposium included registrations, introductions, a keynote address, readings from archival material, a panel discussion and group activities encouraging reflection and discussion And that, says Robertson, along with promoting the importance of preserving the past, was the original intention. It was a notably low-tech session, lacking any elaborate visual displays,
charts and graphs and that too was by design. Participants, he says, were truly engaged throughout, whether listening to the panel, offering input or discussing issues among themselves. Archivist Amanda Hill explains the symposium was intended as an information session to spark further discussion and foster understanding among all Canadians. Open to the pubic and supported by several groups including the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte, Hastings County Historical Society and the Town of Deseronto, the free session included a Blanket Exercise where a portion of the floor representing Turtle Island, or North America, was covered with blankets. Nearly all in attendance removed their shoes to participate in the exercise that saw the landmass slowly shrink as populations shifted and died in the wake of European settlement. Later, a panel discussion and question and answer session followed with panellists Mark Brinklow, Mark Bossio, Ed File, Amanda Hill, and Keith Sero along with Panel Chair Marlene Brant Castellano who replaced author and professor John S. Milloy who was unable to attend. And intertwined with the land use issues of today were practices from the past,
condoned by governments, to assimilate or annihilate the native population, place a cash value on the land and determine the needs of the people now on it. For many in attendance, it was an eyeopening session worthy of further study and attention. It was a grievous situation, offered one registrant during the question and answer session, “but how the hell are we going to deal with that [grief]?” In response Brant Castellano, an Officer of the Order of Canada and described as “a bridge between cultures,” noted that in order for all parties to heal, the whole story, including an understanding of residential schools, treaties and the deliberate and successful attempts to spread disease and malnutrition, “has to be told and retold again.” She then, light-heartedly, asked Hill for her perspective as “the beneficiary of the great robbery.” “That’s one reason we’re here today,” noted Hill, “… to mend those bridges.” Panellist Bossio, who confessed to knowing little of First Nations culture or history before arriving in the area nearly 20 years ago, says he has learned a great deal in the

News - Trenton - The Quinte West Youth Centre held its open house and celebration on October 21 with close to 100 community supporters and partners in attendance. The afternoon began with a social hour and tour of the facility followed by a presentation by centre manager Connie Nye-Kaley and board chair Jared Phillips. Jared gave thanks to staff, volunteers, board members and community supporters for their passion and shared vision. In speaking to what the centre provides, Jared said: “On any given evening, we will supervise, mentor and program for 35 to 45 youth. We will counsel, advise and wipe away tears from the eyes of other youth. For many we will help open their eyes to a vast world of opportunities, tear down barriers they face and show them how they can be the change they wish to see in the world. For some of our youth we are a home away from home, a hot meal for the first time this week and the one place they know they are safe. For many, we are a place to hang out, to make friends, to surf the net, do homework, or do gaming …. But for all, we are here.” Connie Nye-Kaley was excited to introduce a few of the youth who attend the centre regularly and speak to what the centre means to them. They especially enjoy access to homework help, sports and cooking programs. One young lady came up to Connie in the middle of the slide show presentation and whispered “I’m not sure
the community supporters here really get it. They are not understanding the importance of this centre and what it means to us. Can I please have an opportunity to speak to them following the slide show?” She then proceeded to give a warm, heart-felt story of her own experience at the centre emphasizing friendships, mentorships and opportunities for skill building. Connie reports, “It was great to see such fantastic support as we had Mayor John Williams, Councillor Bob Wannamaker, Tina Stephans on behalf of MPP Rob Milligan, Amy Watkins of United Way of Quinte, Josephine Robertson of Tim Hortons, huge representation from Quinte West OPP and Community Policing, representation from Loyalist College, Trenval, Children’s Mental Health, Arden’s Music and so many more.” Mayor John Williams and Councillor Bob Wannamaker unveiled the centre’s new logo which was chosen by the youth to represent the centre and spoke to the value of the centre in Quinte West. Statistics report that to date, the Quinte West Youth Centre has had 8,000 visits in 2013 and has processed 175 memberships! Another support was a cheque presentation by Trans Canada Corporation representative Gerry Martin. Demonstrating their support of youth based charitable organizations in local communities, they forwarded a cheque for $5,000 to help out with “skills based” programming. The youth, staff and volunteers are thankful for the support and recognition for the needs of non-profit based centres like this.

Recognizing business leaders of the Quinte area By Steve Jessel
News - Belleville - The lights were shining bright at the 16th annual Quinte Business Achievement Awards on Friday evening, and for 2013 Business Person of the Year Paul Whitley, it was a celebration of a lot of hard-working individuals. “It’s a tremendous honour, but even though it’s an individual honour, there’s so many other people that contributed to me winning the award,” Whitley, the president of Whitley Insurance and Financial Services of Trenton said. “Our employees, people that work with me on committees, family, friends … so really to me, in my mind this is an award that is shared by everybody that’s contributed to the success of the area.”
This year’s ceremony featured roughly 100 nominees, one of the largest ever fields for the awards, and spanned 13 distinct categories, including awards for retail, agribusiness, hospitality and tourism, new business and many others. Belleville Chamber of Commerce CEO Bill Saunders said the event was the culmination of a lot of work, but it felt great to be able to recognize local businesses with their own awards show. “A lot of work has gone into this, to present and develop these awards, but it doesn’t compare to the work that these individual businesses have put in,” Saunders said. The first Quinte Business Achievement Awards was organized to recognize the success of small business
in the area, but has grown exponentially over the years, and the sold-out event Friday featured dignitaries, politicians, and fellow area businesses simply wishing to share in the excitement and help recognize their peers. “I think quite often most business owners don’t get the full credit they deserve,” Saunders said, when asked he thought it was important to recognize area businesses. “If you have a business you’re faced with all kinds of challenges on a day-to-day basis … those businesses create jobs, and those businesses are the ones who pay the taxes, and this is a great chance to celebrate and recognize them.” Other winners from the night included Agribusiness of the Year, awarded to Campbell’s Orchards of
PEC; Environmental Leadership, given to Mirmil Products of Quinte West; Hospitality/Tourism Business of the Year awarded to Arcanada Bed and Breakfast of PEC; Innovation/Technology Business of the Year to TCO Agromart Ltd. of Quinte West; Manufacturing/ Industrial Business of the Year for Trenton Cold Storage; Young Entrepreneur of the Year was given to John Korotki; New Business of the Year for 66 Gilead Distillery of PEC; Not For Profit of the Year for Brighton Arts Council; Retail Business of the Year for End of the Thread Cafe & Antique Emporium of Brighton; Service/Professional Business of the Year for McDougall Insurance of Brighton; Transportation & Logistics Business of the Year for International Truckload Services Inc. of Quinte West,
and finally the award given annually for Business Excellence was given to Reid’s Dairy Company Ltd. of Belleville. “It was very difficult [to choose the winners],” Saunders said. “In a few cases it was very obvious because the application and the results were just so outstanding, but in many cases it was a very close, tough decision.” Whitley was also highly complimentary of the work of all the nominees, and shared his philosophy about what it means to him to be a business leader in his community. “It’s nice to be a business leader, but it’s even nicer to be able to give back to the community,” he said. “I think that’s what really makes you feel good. They say you get out what you put in, and I think that’s true.”

Junior boys cap off two perfect seasons By Steve Jessel
Sports - Belleville - The Nicholson Catholic College (NCC) Crusaders overcame a rocky first half to claim their second consecutive Bay of Quinte junior boys
soccer championships title Monday, besting a game St. Paul’s Falcons side by a final score of 4 - 0. The win caps off two consecutive undefeated seasons for the Crusaders.
“This is a special team,” said coach Stephan Auray. “They haven’t lost a game since they came in, in Grade Nine, and that’s a feat in itself.” With a strong wind at their

backs, it was the Falcons who came out firing early, dominating possession and consistently putting pressure on the Crusaders goal. However, the Falcons forwards were having trouble putting the ball on net despite several quality opportunities, and with time winding down in the half found themselves unable to crack the Crusaders’ net. They came to regret those missed opportunities when just before the half, Nicholson’s Alex Phillips potted his first goal of the afternoon on a high, looping shot that came down just over the head of the Falcons’ netminder. The Falcons tried to respond but couldn’t find any luck of their own, and the Crusaders led 1 - 0 at the half. “I think that we played a very
good team … we got lucky at the end of the first half, and they dominated the first half, there’s no doubt,” Auray said. “As soon as we stuck to our game … we’re very quick when we put the ball on the ground, and when we started doing that, well you see the end result.” With the sides now switched and Nicholson now with the advantage of the wind at their backs, the game quickly shifted in their favour. Just minutes into the second half, Phillips netted his second goal on a header from inside the penalty area, and the Crusaders weren’t done there. Another Nicholson goal, this time by Chase Bennett Copeland, gave the Crusaders a comfortable 3 - 0 lead, and there was little the Falcons could do
to narrow the deficit. A final goal by Nicholson’s Ryan Jarvis was more than enough to seal the win for the Crusaders, and although the Falcons played a strong first half the second part of the game proved to be their undoing. “They’re very humble in their success, because they know there’s still a job to be done,” Auray said of his team. Both teams now head to COSSA competition Thursday. As of press time times and locations had not yet been released. “They’re going to have to be mentally tough, and they are,” Auray replied, when asked what it would take to win at COSSA. “They’re very resilient, but they just need to play their game and stick to the game plan.”

Dragons overcome early deficit
By Steve Jessel
Sports - Belleville - St. Theresa’s Titans came up just short in the Bay of Quinte senior boys soccer championship Monday, falling by a score of 2 - 1 in a highly entertaining matchup with the East Northumberland Blue Dragons. “The players, they worked hard; we’re disappointed with the loss but they played the whole game,” said St. Theresa coach David McGillen. It didn’t take long for the Titans to open the scoring in this one, as a loose ball inside the penalty
area was prime real estate for Curtis Murray, who drove home a powerful header past the Dragons’ netminder for the 1 - 0 lead. Despite the early edge, however, the Dragons controlled possession for much of the first half, punctuated by occasional Titans forays into their side of the half. With time winding down in the first, ENSS’s Jordan Fielding let go a cannon of a shot from 25 yards out that took a perfect Dragons curve just inside the top corner of the Titans’ net, and the two teams were tied at the half, 1 - 1.
“We came out strong, got the first goal,” McGillen said. “ENSS is a hard-working team, they don’t give up.” With the wind now at their backs, ENSS picked up where they left off in the first half by applying continuous pressure on the Titans’ net early in the second half. Unable to break through the Titans’ defence, both teams seemingly settled into a defensive pattern, unwilling to give up the potentially game-winning goal. However, despite the Titans’ best efforts, it was ENSS that managed
to capitalize on their opportunities, when Anthony Shewman netted a header just over the head of the St. Theresa goaltender. Down 2 - 1, the Titans tried desperately to tie the game in the final minutes, but were unable to crack the opposing net and fell by a final score of 2 1. “Our team didn’t give up … a couple of bounces went against us and it’s a 2 - 1 result,” McGillen said. Both teams now head to COSSA Thursday—ENSS to AAA and St. Titans player Chris Hayashi (blue) battles with ENSS forward Mason Steen in the Titans’ 2 - 1 loss Monday.

St. Paul’s Falcons crowned rugby champs
Sports - Belleville - The St. Paul’s Falcons broke new ground this past week, claiming the team’s first-ever junior girls rugby championship, and coach Dave Christie said he couldn’t be happier. “It feels fantastic, it’s been a long time coming,” Christie said. “[The team] played unbelieveable, we’re so proud of the girls. They showed up today … they played relentless all day.” In a game that was only as close as the opening kickoff, the Falcons put on a dominant showing to best the Centennial Chargers by a score of 44 - 0. The Falcons rode a strong performance by Makenna O’Neill, who scored three tries and converted two penalty kicks to victory, relentlessly pushing up and down the field against a game but overmatched Centennial squad, who were also looking for their first junior girls rugby title. The Chargers will have to wait until next year though, as additional tries from Skye Verheyen, Mikenzie Richard, Haley Wilman, Megan Reid and Whitney Morton were just too much for Centennial to handle. Meanwhile, in the senior final, the Trenton Tigers handily defended their
title and capped off their undefeated season with a 32 - 0 victory over the Bayside Red Devils. Tigers player Brittany Whiting was the unquestioned star of this game, rumbling for a pair of tries including a dazzling second half run where she shook off several Bayside players on her way to scoring, and despite a late drive by Bayside the Trenton defence stayed stout en route to an abbreviated shutout victory. “It feels great, it just shows that hard work pays off,” said Trenton coach Brian Meindl. “The girls have had a great, undefeated season … playing against some great teams,” he said. “The Bay of Quinte rugby loop is always fantastic. The team really came to play, not giving up a point all day, and we’re really looking forward to COSSA in Norwood on Thursday. Our goal is to make it to OFSAA, and with hard work we might just get there.” The COSSA AA and AAA girls rugby finals take place October 31, in Norwood and Belleville respectively. In AAA, Bay of Quinte will be represented by Centennial, Bayside and Quinte Secondary School, while in AA, Trenton, Bayside and St. Paul’s Trenton’s Brittany Whiting put on a show in the Bay of Quinte Senior girls will travel to Norwood as Quinte St. Paul’s player Julia Tees brings down a Centennial player during the Falcons rugby finals, frequently shaking off several defenders during big runs down representatives. 44 - 0 win in the championship final Friday.

Occupational Therapist uses coffee to break the ice at 8 Wing
By Ross Lees
News - Trenton - Customers at the Tim Hortons coffee shop on RCAF Road received a pleasant eye-opener last Friday. Brighton Occupational Therapist Phillip Leadbeater put down some money to pay for coffee for all customers ordering coffee at 10 a.m. until the money ran out. He made the gesture to heighten awareness of Occupational Therapy Month (October). A consultant with Veteran’s Affairs Canada, Mr. Leadbeater felt there was no better way to make contact with the military than through Tim Hortons coffee. “What better way to bring attention to occupational therapy than at Tim Hortons,” he noted, pointing to the company’s connection to the troops in Afghanistan. “It is my intent to acknowledge our troops and their families and say ‘Thank-you for your service.’ It is my intent to be there to educate anyone regarding the use of occupational therapy, especially with a focus on post-traumatic stress disorder [PTSD], anxiety, and depression and to acknowledge the contribution of Tim Hortons Corporation and specifically Tim Hortons at 8 Wing in Trenton.” Mr. Leadbeater said occupa-
tional therapists work hand-inhand with psychologists in the community and with the individuals and families dealing with issues such as PTSD, anxiety or depression. “We thought if we could come here to the base and buy coffee and get somebody’s attention, we just might be able to change somebody’s life in the meantime,” he said. Mr. Leadbeater has a strong tie to the military. He served 18 years in the Army as a medic from 1979 to 1995. He has now been an occupational therapist for 18 years, dealing regularly with veterans who now suffer from PTSD, anxiety or depression as a result of their service in places like Somalia or Rwanda. It is his aim to treat them and help get them out of the house and back to being productive members of the community. “They may not be working, they watch their spouse go off to work, they’re sitting on the couch watching TV and know there’s got to be more to life than just this and they don’t know where to turn,” he stated. “That’s when they make the phone call to Veteran’s Affairs and ask for help from an occupational therapist. “There may be a portion of the day they cannot deal with

because of a physical illness, an injury or mental health issues and we can get in there and help out,” he said. “We’re a very unique profession that way and nobody knows about us.” When he first got into the profession, Mr. Leadbeater recalls treating a lot of seniors needing grab bars, scooters, and wheelchairs but his clients have now changed somewhat to those receiving treatment for PTSD, anxiety, stress and depression. Also, the average age has dropped. “I still have some seniors to look after, but it’s the young guys you want to get to mould and get back to their life. We’re a small, tight community,” he said of the military and former military. He said over the years there has always been a common denominator of young people making selfless sacrifices for their country and that is unchanged. “Fifty years from now, I’ll guarantee you, our young troops will step up and be proud of our country,” he stated. He said Olympic athletes are often given notoriety for their accomplishments, and while he salutes their accomplishments, he notes it does not rank up there with the sacrifices many Canadian troops make.

County making plans to host ParaSport Games for the first time By John Campbell
R0012382915
News - Northumberland - The county will soon find out which sports will be played and where at the 2014 Ontario ParaSport Games that will be held in Northumberland next year. “We are currently looking at nine sports,” director of economic development Dan Borowec told county council recently, but none have been confirmed as yet as negotiations continue
with Sport Alliance Ontario. “This is bit of a complex affair,” Borowec said, because the planning involves making arrangements for all seven municipalities to share in the role of hosting the games May 30 to June 1, the first time they will be held in Northumberland. More than 425 participants, including athletes, coaches, managers, support staff and officials are expected to take
part during the three days of competition involving athletes with disabilities. “The community support for this has been significant,” Borowec said. The Games Organizing Committee, led by former MP Paul Macklin, has about 20 members looking after finances, human resources, sponsorships, fund raising, marketing, communications, technological support, online presence, sport venues and registration.
Borowec said the county is “well on the way” in its preparations for the games but it’s “also trying to manage expectations,” as to what they will mean for Northumberland, as it looks to sponsors to help fund the event. The county, when it made its bid, estimated the event could cost close to $250,000 but realize a profit of nearly $31,000. The provincial government is contributing $60,000.
There are more than 40 parasport organizations in the province but the county has to be “realistic” as to how many sports will be represented and the number of athletes that will be coming, he said in a later interview. “Some out there may think … we’ve got 4,000 folks coming,” Borowec said. “We’re not the Pan Am Games … We’re doing everything in our power to Continued on page B3

And on this farm he had a robot, E-I-E-I-O The labour-saving process is simple enough: Pellets cattle find tastier than the feed available elsewhere in the free stall environment—the “candy … they crave” contains a lot of the “starch and energy” in their diet. Lynn said it entices them to enter the unit where a sensor detects the animal’s presence. A robotic arm cleans its teats, attaches a milking machine, and removes the device when the milking is done. The cows, in effect, set their own schedule but an identification tag that each wears is read by the unit to prevent frequent feedings and ensure they’re being milked at appropriate intervals. “You don’t need to be there milking those cows because they’re milked through the whole day,” Ron said, and that frees up Ron Watson and his son Lynn did a fair amount of research before deciding to expand their operation north of Campbellford time to do other chores. The computerized system also on 7th Line East by building a barn with a robotic milking system. “It’s a big investment,” Lynn said, but the new system will reduce their workload and improve productivity. He said the technology is similar to that used in the car plant where he once spills out a wealth of data the Watsons will use to improve the worked. Photo: John Campbell By John Campbell
News - Trent Hills - Old MacDonald’s jaw would drop if he could see what’s taking place on dairy farms these days: automated milking. That will soon be the case for Ron Watson and his son Lynn who are expanding their dairy operation north of Campbellford using robotic technology. They currently milk 39 cows twice a day in a barn built in
1920 that is no longer big enough to meet their needs. “We’re crowded,” Ron said. “We wanted to build for the future.” They looked at various options and initially rejected the notion of using a robot because the technology is so expensive but further research that included trips to other parts of the province convinced the two men it “was a better way to go.”
There’s much more robotic milking being done in western Ontario, Ron said, but the technology is spreading eastward. Their barn, when finished, will be only the second of its kind in Northumberland County. When the 18,500-squarefoot building with attached milk house currently under construction is completed, it will include a single milking unit capable of handling up to 60 cows.

despite concerns expressed by some that lowering trade barriers could hurt Canada’s supply management system that has served milk producers so well. “I don’t pay a whole lot of attention to the politics side of it,” Ron said. “There’s nothing I can do to change it … Everybody has always been afraid of this happening, that happening.” There have been “a lot of times if you had done something and not listened to the naysayers, you’d have been further ahead. I like to think the industry will stay strong.” For dairy farmers to survive and do well, you have to reach a certain size “to be sustainable,” Lynn said. He and his father had hoped the new barn would be operating by now but with the delays the project has encountered, such as flooding at the site caused by heavy rains, it appears the earliest start date will be sometime in December.

productivity of the herd as well as to maintain its health. “Part of it is to get the flexibility and lifestyle we want,” Lynn said, and to ease a workload that can be physically demanding. “Both of us were starting to get sore shoulders, and it’s only a matter of time before your knees go.” He also noted that “you’ve got to keep growing or you’re going to fall behind, that’s just the way it is in the industry … It only makes sense to go that route where everybody’s going.” Lynn pointed out the new barn, which will include “the best bedding you can have” and an open area where the cattle can roam freely, will provide “better cow comfort” for the herd. “The happier the cow is, the better they’re going to do, no question,” he said, and “the longer they live the more productive they’ll be.” Both men have confidence the dairy industry will remain strong,

Woodlot work poses numerous dangers By Richard Turtle
News - Ivanhoe - A lot of bad things can happen when you are alone in the woods with a chainsaw, says Sharlene Matacheskie, but understanding your environment and the dangers within can ultimately save your life. So, she says, “better a thousand times careful than one time dead.” Matacheskie, a certified First Aid Instructor who owns and operates Safety 4 All, provided an evening workshop at the Huntingdon Veterans Community Hall last week organized by the Quinte Chapter, Ontario Woodlot Association. And the message to the approximately 20 in attendance was clear: Be prepared. A range of injuries can result from manual work, and operating machinery of various types, she says, and in a solitary work environment the results, far more often and for obvious reasons, can be life-threatening. In many cases, such as heart attack, concussion, broken bones or being pinned by equipment or
falling debris, time is a critical factor and, “if nobody knows where you are, how are they going to come and get you?” In a best-case scenario, she says, cell phones with GPS offer an opportunity for quick location, but out of range of service or in need of a charge the devices can be rendered useless. Best for someone to know exactly where you are going and when you will be back, she says. And regardless of terrain or other obstacles, “if you got in there, [emergency crews] can get in there,” she adds. And in offering a time of return or contact, she says, a search can be initiated almost immediately if no word is received. Matacheskie also discussed the importance of carrying a first aid kit as well as the appropriate responses to various scenarios ranging from amputation to dehydration. Fatigue, she adds, is also a contributor to workplace accidents and everyone working alone should structure breaks regularly
throughout the day. And during those breaks, she says, “don’t be sharpening your saw.” Using training devices, Matacheskie also explained the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and the benefits of a quick response to heart attack. And in all instances, she says, “think prevention first.” And in case of emergency, she adds, it is equally important to remain calm, think clearly and seek medical help. The evening workshop precedes several upcoming courses in November and December. Scheduled over two days and focusing on different aspects of Standard First Aid and CPR/AED, a session specific to the woodlot will be offered December 9 and 10 at the Red Cross building at 88 Parks Drive in Belleville. Full information on courses and registration is available by contacting Sharlene Matacheskie at 613-921-5541, visiting <safety-4all.com> or emailing Using training devices, First Aid Instructor Sharlene Matacheskie demonstrates the proper use of an automated external defibrillator, like those seen in many public buildings. <safety4all@sympatico.ca>.

“We hear of the Olympics and [athletes] wearing the Canadian flag while we have troops wearing the Canadian flag for our country every friggin’ day and they don’t get the accolades that
they get from the Olympics,” he stated. “There’s a big difference between life and death in sports and life and death in the military situation. I’m proud to be able to work with veterans and those meant to be there.”
He says occupational therapy had its roots in World War I when the veterans returned to civilian life. “It’s an honour to be associated and have that strong link with the troops,” he added passionately.

engage as many sports as possible, plus make this as interesting for people as possible.” He told council it looks like two organizations that have never done an event together before, one representing golfers who are blind and the other representing golfers with physical disabilities, will join forces for a two-day event at next year’s games. “We’re in pretty good shape for the venues,” Borowec said, but it’s up to Parasport Ontario to decide where the games are to be played, “to make sure we have the facilities to match up with
their technical needs.” It’s “an involved process, we’re playing mix-and-match in order to make things work,” he said later. “We haven’t paired sites to sport yet.” Kari Spry, the county’s economic development co-ordinator who’s doubling as the games co-ordinator, said October 23 she’s hoping to make an announcement on the chosen sports and their venues “within a couple of weeks.” The Ontario ParaSport Games are designed to give host municipalities the opportunity to make their community barrier free and leave a legacy for citizens with a disability. Toward that end a special meeting
was held October 24 in Cobourg in which businesses were advised on how to make their premises barrier-free. One of the guest speakers, Warden Hector Macmillan, said it’s about “working toward becoming an all-inclusive community. Municipalities in the past didn’t recognize that there’s a lot of people who have some sort of impairment.” Making upgrades to remove barriers that have been in place for some time can be “a big challenge for some of our older heritage buildings,” he said, “but there is an economic benefit” for businesses to make their places accessible to all.

Trent Hills doctors go topless in support of breast cancer awareness
News - Trent Hills - A bevy of male doctors from Trent Hills have gone topless to support a local fund-raising initiative and to raise breast cancer awareness. The Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation (CMH Foundation) has produced two “Hooters for Healthcare” calendars to raise funds for the purchase of a new digital mammography machine for the hospital as part of the Flourish Campaign. Doctors Paul Williams, Glen Gibson, Neil Pritchard, Ian Park, Bob Henderson, Joe Barbero, and Brett Jamieson have all bared their chests to support the latest initiative. The campaign goal is $700,000. According to John Russell, executive director of the Foundation, a little more than half of the money has been raised so far through a variety of fund-raising ventures. Community support for the
campaign is strong evidenced by the number of cheque presentations published in the Trent Hills Independent. There are two calendars, one for 2014 and another for 2015 and they feature local women and men, discreetly posing topless and sharing their personal and inspirational stories about how breast cancer has touched their lives. The calendars were the idea of Flourish Campaign Co-ordinator Tonya McColl-Smith. As McColl-Smith explained, “The response to our call for calendar girls was so enthusiastic and included seven local male doctors who wanted to take part to show their support for the campaign and raise awareness that men can also get breast cancer.” “We were thrilled the doctors agreed to pose. The photo, featured on the September 2015 page, includes a touch of humour, while demonstrating their
dedication to fighting breast cancer,” she added. Laurie Smith, physician liaison for the Campbellford hospital, said, “the docs understand the importance of a well-equipped hospital and are always very supportive of the CMH Foundation’s fund-raising efforts.” She added, “Their photo is incredible and in a bold way demonstrates their passion and dedication to quality health care in the area.” The photos for the “Hooters for Healthcare” calendars were taken by Sarah Rowland of Creations Behind the Lens. The 2014 and 2015 calendars are $20 each and available at several locations in Trent Hills, including: the CMH Foundation office; The Holmestead Printing in Campbellford; the Campbellford/Seymour Community Foundation office; Earth Angel in Campbellford; Bridgewater Cof- Seven Trent Hills doctors are being featured in the 2015 “Hooters for Healthcare” calendar for the month of September, to fee and Donuts in Hastings; and raise funds for the purchase of a new digital mammography machine for the hospital and raise awareness about breast cancer.

The right to be a parent
Lifestyles - I often gaze wistfully at that fashionable fall outfit: an oversized tunic with a belt over leggings. It looks so comfy cozy. But even though I like it, I can’t quite bring myself to buy it. Leggings on someone on the wrong side of forty
The Good Earth: Lifestyles - It’s been a slow go the last week or so, Gentle Reader. I picked up a cold that just knocked me for such a loop that I wound up taking some days off of work. You know, you wake up feeling so-so, thinking you can get through the workday but shortly into it you realise that things just aren’t going so well. It’s a tough balance between getting the job done—and filling up the pay packet—and ducking the garlic that co-workers throw at you while hissing, “Go Home, you sick, infectious person!” As a direct result, we have our 5th Odds and Sods column for the year. O&S#1 Community Event #1 - Before illness laid me low, Mrs. Clost and I took in a special hockey game between the 8 Wing lads and a bunch of really plucky doctor types. It was a fund raiser as the TMHF folks were supporting a Wellness Fund for TMH staff. It’s a great cause and it was a hoot to watch; there is no doubt that hockey is an integral part of our culture. Some younger folks, though, seemed to have difficulty in figuring out the scoring difference between goals and assists; we did suggest to Cassandra that she ask Sylvain to explain it to her. Community Event #2 - I had the good fortune to visit with the Stirling Horticultural Society and I enjoyed my time with them. They’re a great group of people who fully understand the collegial approach to this wonderful hobby and certainly work together very nicely. It was surprising to learn that one could take a trip to many countries and not leave home. It is tough sometimes to make time in a busy season to get out to the clubs for talks and presentations but it is something most of us enjoy. The trick, for those of you who might want to include some horticulture in your speaker series, is to make contact far enough in advance so we can include the chat in our work plans. O&S #2 Plant Bulbs Now - This is the time to get your bulbs into the ground. True, there is still a month of planting but the days are fairly warm making the job more comfortable. Common advice is to plant the bulbs three times their measurement, e.g. a two-inch bulb gets buried six inches. I suggest you go a few inches deeper. There are two comments I’d like
I do not understand this helpless attitude, whether it’s about clothing choices or other teenage behaviours, and I would like to tell parents, loudly and clearly, you are the parent. You have the right, indeed the obligation, to set standards. If you do not exercise your right to act like a parent, then you are abdicating your responsibility to our culture. Our culture is the one that adores Miley Cyrus’ new persona. Do you really want to turn your child over to that? Parents should not feel guilty for acting like parents, and yet so many of us are insecure. Do we even have the right to tell our kids what to do, or what to wear? The insecurity is understandable. In 2008 in Quebec, a 12-year-old girl took her father to court for grounding her from a class field trip. She had been using the
Odds & Sods 5
to make about bulbs: I won’t write a whole article on them because all of the important info is readily available. Spacing: we sometimes get confused when planting large clumps or drifts and think we need to plant the bulbs close together. Not so, GR. Tulips, daffs and other larger bulbs need at least five inches of space. Once they pop up in the spring their foliage will want the chance to stretch out to maximise sun catching. You will still have a solid mass of colour and the plants will be happier. Smaller bulbs, such as muscari and crocus enjoy a three-inch buffer from their companwith real meat to it, and check out ions. Collections: the marketing boffins horticultural trade shows and courses have chatted with the growing bof- through such organisations. In closing this week, I’d like to fins to put together combinations of various bulbs and colours that will thank you, Gentle Reader, for all of produce a co-ordinated effect in a your nice comments about the colsmall space. If you have a patch in umns concerning the plants on our your yard that is a titch bare in the property. If you were to drive by it, spring, waiting for the perennials you would have a tough time believto fill in, have a look at some of the ing that all of those named are actually present.

Internet inappropriately and sending inappropriate texts, so he put his foot down. She sued. And the Quebec courts, even on appeal, have decided the girl was right. With this sort of ridiculousness around us it’s easy to feel like we don’t have a right to demand things of our kids. The schools should raise them, and if our culture has decided that Miley’s antics are the new normal, who are we to say they’re wrong? We may be uncomfortable with all the texting, and with all the explicit shows kids watch, and with the sexual activity, but these things are normal today. To fight back is like trying to hold a tsunami at bay. It’s too much. Yet is it really? What does it matter what the rest of our culture says? It is not our culture that is going to have to deal with
the repercussions of a teenager dropping out of school, or feeling great shame for something he or she has done, or getting hooked on drugs. It is you, the parent. It is not our culture that will have to pick up the pieces, patch a broken heart, or help someone detox. It is not the school that will be there when a girl derails her educational future because she gets pregnant, or a boy decides to waste his life on video games instead of investing in college. It is you. You are the only one who loves your child more than life itself. You are the only one with a vested interest in how your child turns out. You’re the only one, then, that really matters. So do something! You have power. You control the Wifi, the television, and the money that pays for the cell phone. Use that power. Say no. Be a parent. And please, no tights.

doesn’t quite work for me, even if the tunic does cover a multitude of flaws. Yet increasingly leggings aren’t working even for those on the right side of forty, namely because people aren’t pairing them with long tunics; they’re wearing them with shorter shirts. What was once fashionable becomes floozy. It’s not even flirty; it’s just gross. There are some parts of one’s anatomy which should never be covered in thin, skin tight fabric. As terrible as it is when adult women commit this fashion fauxpas, it’s worse when teen girls do it, because it means some parent somewhere has allowed a child to dress in public like that. One mom I know is heartbroken about her daughter’s clothing but feels rather helpless. Her daughter refuses to wear anything except tights as pants.

Celebrating Hallowe’en around the world By John M. Smith
Lifestyles - It’s that time of year again when we buy candy and pass it out to young ghosts, goblins, and monsters that come to our doors on Hallowe’en (All-Hallows Even/“hallowed evening”), the night before All Hallows’ Day (All Saints’ Day). Many of us will carve out and light up pumpkins to welcome our visitors, and some of us will even decorate our yards with corn stalks, black cats, witches, and tombstones. It’s believed that this rather strange, unusual celebration has its roots in the Celtic festival of Samhein, which translates as “summer’s end,” a harvest festival; it celebrated the end of the “lighter half” of the year and the beginning of the “darker half” and was sometimes referred to as the “Celtic New Year.” The Celts thought the division between the world of the living and the Otherworld was blurred at this time, so the souls of the dead might be wandering about on this particular night; therefore, it was customary to build bonfires and light lanterns to ward off these spirits, and children wore costumes to blend in with them. This festival was particularly popular in Ireland and Scotland, and costumed children began going from door to door by the nineteenth century. They were given offerings of food, after all, it’s based on a harvest festival, for this served to ward off any potential spirits that might lurk among these visitors. These costumed children often carried a traditional lantern (“samhnag”), with a face carved in it to ward off evil spirits; these lanterns were made of a turnip, with a candle placed in the hollowed out inside. When many Scottish and Irish immigrants came to North America in the nineteenth century, Hallowe’en became very popular here, too; however, the turnip was replaced by the pumpkin, perhaps because they were larger and easier to carve, and plentiful. The earliest known reference to going door to door and asking for treats in our part of the world was in 1911, when a newspaper in nearby Kingston reported that it was normal for the smaller children to go street “guising” or dressing up in disguise, on Hallowe’en between 6 and 7 p.m., visiting shops and neighbours, and receiving nuts and candies. Hallowe’en has now become a giant commercial success in North America. I recently read that it generates sales of over 2 billion dollars, trailing only Christmas, with more candy sold than on Valentine’s Day and more parties held than on New Year’s Eve! Other parts of the world don’t necessarily celebrate this event with quite the same exuberance, but many places do acknowledge it in some special way. For example, in Austria, some people leave bread, water and a lit lamp on the table before retiring on Hallowe’en night, to welcome the dead souls back to earth. In Germany, knives are traditionally put away on Hallowe’en night because people don’t want to risk harm

befalling the returning spirits. In Poland, doors and windows are left open to welcome the spirits, the visiting souls. In the Philippines and in Belgium, the custom is to light candles in memory of dead relatives. In Czechoslovakia, chairs are placed by the fireside: one chair for each living family member and one for each family member’s spirit. In China, the Hallowe’en festival is known as “Teng Chieh.” Food and water are placed in front of photographs of family members who have departed, and lanterns are lit in order to light the paths of the spirits as they travel the earth on this night. The Japanese celebrate the “Obon Festival” (also known as “Matsuri” or “Urabon”); it’s similar in that it’s dedicated to the spirits of ancestors; it’s a celebration of the memory of the dead. Special foods are prepared, and bright red lanterns

are set afloat; candles are lit and placed into lanterns which are then set afloat on rivers and seas to light the way for the dead souls returning to Earth. In much of Central and South America, children pay a visit to their neighbours on Hallowe’en and request candy by yelling “Dulce o Truco” (“Sweet or Trick”). In Brazil, the chant is “Travessuras ou gostosuras.” The Spanish name for Hallowe’en is “Noche de Brujas” or “Night of the Witches.” In Spain, a pastry named “Bones of the Holy” (shaped like skulls) is eaten on this particular day; it contains anise
seed and is covered in an orange glaze. Families then go to the cemetery to visit deceased family members, keeping vigil throughout the night, and the next day is spent cleaning the family burial plots. Hallowe’en in Romania is celebrated around the myth of Dracula, particularly in Transylvania, so you’ll find many vampire parties here. The area was also the site of many witch trials, and these are re-enacted by actors on this night. Indeed, October’s ending is often celebrated/acknowledged throughout this world, but in different ways.
MP tells critics of trade deal to discard “mantle of negativity”
By John Campbell
News - Northumberland - The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between Canada and the European Union (EU) is “good for Canada for a whole whack of reasons,” says the MP for NorthumberlandQuinte West. But its critics need to take off “the mantle of negativity” in order to see the good that will come in gaining greater access to a market of 500 million people that generates about $17 trillion in economic activity, Rick Norlock said. He cited a joint CanadaEU study that concluded the trade agreement “could bring a 20 per cent boost in bilateral trade and a $12 billion annual increase to Canada’s economy … [the] equivalent of adding $1,000 to the average Canadian family’s income or almost 80,000 new jobs to the Canadian economy.” When the agreement in principle comes into force within the next two years among its many provisions are the elimination of tariffs on Canadian goods entering the EU market, and approval to ship an additional 50,000 tonnes of beef a year, worth about $600 million, and an extra 80,000 tonnes of pork, worth roughly $400 million. CETA will also allow for an unlimited amount of Canadian cheese to be exported to the EU while opening up the Canadian market to European cheeses by an additional four cent annually, to 30,000 tonnes, more than double what is currently allowed. Ron Versteeg, vice president of the Dairy Farmers of Canada, told CBC News it is “a bit discouraging to see something that we’ve put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into developing … sort of eroded and given away to the Europeans.” But the impact on domestic cheese makers “will be nullified” by the projected growth in cheese consumption in Canada, Norlock said, so the effect “will basically be neutral.” He said the reaction of dairy farmers has been
“doom and gloom” in fearing the agreement could mark “the beginning of the slippery slope” leading to the end of supply management that controls the production of milk and sets prices. But they “will lose in the court of public opinion when people know the facts about this,” he said. The “negative part” is having “a bit more cheese” allowed into Canada,” but on the positive side, “we can ship as much cheese as we want to 500 million people who like cheese.” The federal government has also said it will compensate milk producers “if it can be proven” the trade agreement has “adversely affected them,” Norlock said. Warkworth-area dairy farmer Sid Atkinson, a member of the board of directors for the Dairy Farmers of Ontario, said CETA’s provisions affecting his industry came “as “a shock for sure, but the reality is trade is necessary for this country and … to stand in the way of a country’s prosperity is a losing game; dairy farmers realize that.” If the trade deal is “going to do as much for the country as they say it is, everybody’s going to be happy.” Atkinson said Canadian dairy farmers can “compete quite handily” with their European counterparts, but “we get our revenue from the consumers” alone whereas dairy farmers overseas have their incomes “topped up with subsidies [that] are not coupled to production. “It just puts us at a competitive disadvantage when we’re not getting any subsidies for our production,” Atkinson said. “I personally prefer getting our revenue from the market; it’s more stable that way. There’s no sense asking the consumer to pay you twice,” at the cash register and then through taxes, he said. “We can compete with almost anyone in the world” but going up against the treasuries of other countries “adds a new layer of stress to it,” Atkinson said. “The fact the
government has said we will watch out for you and compensate you for losses … is a bit of relief.” Jack Oliver, general manager of Empire Cheese outside Campbell-
ford, isn’t worried about more competition from across the ocean. “I don’t think it will hurt Empire Cheese too much,” he said, because of the quality of product the farmer
co-operative produces, and the fact that a strong part of its business is from the sale of curds, which “definitely won’t be coming over.” Empire also has “a pretty faith-
ful clientele,” said Oliver, who has received phone calls from people saying “you don’t need to worry … we’re going to continue to buy your cheese.”

Committee hopeful of beer fest return

News - Stirling - Municipal officials are optimistic the Hastings County Beer Festival will return to the township next year following a meeting earlier this week marking the deadline for proposals to organize and run the event. Members of the Stirling-Rawdon Economic Development Committee met Monday night, with the future of the annual festival being the primary agenda item. After operating the event in October for its first two years, the original organizers cancelled plans for this year despite attracting significant crowds in the past. But there have been several supporters, including members of the Economic Development Committee, who have been

working toward its return. Agreeing it is a positive attraction for the area, committee members listened to three potential candidates at Monday night’s meeting and also received written submissions from others. In the end, the committee opted to recommend that Philip Dangerfield be considered as their first choice, having a knowledge of the area and significant experience that includes producing the National Capital Craft Beer Festival in Ottawa , now in the planning stages for its third year of operation. Committee member and Councillor Bob Mullin says both the number and the quality of submissions were impressive, particularly given the short timeframe. “I’m really pleased with the level of interest we’re getting with this,” he noted, with his colleagues agreeing there is plenty of reason for optimism. Noted Dangerfield in his proposal, “Craft beer is a fantastic platform to showcase local and regional artisans, talent and business and is a key part of the formula that we use to produce our festivals. Previous Hastings County Beer Festivals have featured craft beers and ciders for sampling, as well as food and live entertainment and submitted proposals received by the committee suggested a similar format with Farmtown Park the preferred location. Committee members, including Farmtown Park board member Ron Reid, also discussed pricing as well potential dates and the availability of the museum but ultimately agreed those decisions would be determined in large part by the organizers.

News - Campbellford â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m living in the 21st century so I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be St. Brigid of Kildare but we want to deliver the spirit of who she was,â&#x20AC;? said Angelica Ottewill. A talented harpist who combines trobairitz music and storytelling as a modern day expression of medieval times, she will be performing the first of a new series called Daring Daughters of the Faith at St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church, Campbellford, in November. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a fund raiser for the church. Half the proceeds go to the church and half to myself and my music partner VĂŠronique Kwakkernaat, a flutist from Brighton. Lianne Harris of Toronto does the lyrics and prose and receives royalties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new series is a musical odyssey of early sainted women,â&#x20AC;? said Ottewill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of wonderful stories and ballads from the medieval times. It was a very romantic period â&#x20AC;Ś weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking King Arthur and the crusades. I have several stories I tell with harp accompaniment,â&#x20AC;? she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trobairitz is a name they gave to women troubadours around the 12th century,â&#x20AC;? she explained. Ottewill became passionate about the harp three decades ago and mastered the lever harp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a very expressive instrument. The first time I made a sound with this harp it was like the sound went right through me to my soul and I thought I have to have one of these. It was a crystallizing moment,â&#x20AC;? said Ottewill. That is when this classi-
cally trained music singer, who was a teacher for 32 years, decided to learn to play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harps are difficult to play. It can take months for me to be comfortable with a piece,â&#x20AC;? she commented. As past president of the Ontario Folk Harp Society, Ottewill has presented concerts and workshops throughout Ontario. Her performances include lively participatory stories, humorous tales and exciting romantic epics. Stories range from medieval to international folk tales, and the music from Celtic to contemporary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The performance about St. Brigid is about one hour 15 minutes. I tell the story of her life interspersed with traditional Celtic music and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve included some contemporary sacred music,â&#x20AC;? said Ottewill. The performers will be dressed in Medieval costumes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;St. Brigid was made a saint before the official canonization process ever took place,â&#x20AC;? she noted. Born around 450 into a Druid family she decided to become a Christian at an early age, eventually taking vows as a nun. Together with a group of other women, she established a nunnery at Kildare. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was educated as a Druid priestess,â&#x20AC;? said Ottewill. She has already taken her performance to Belleville and Peterborough. Ottewill has a CD called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aires of Enchantmentâ&#x20AC;? and more information about her can be found online at: <www.trobairitz.ca>. Her husband Mike, an electrical engineer, did all the recording and mixing

in their home-based studio as well as the cover photo. The couple has a house in Toronto but is in the midst of building a home in Trent River.

CMH Auxiliaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundraising Christmas bazaar News - Campbellford - Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that time of year again, time for the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Auxiliaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas Bazaar. Auxiliary President Norah McGowan and Carol Mitchell are co-convenors this year. The luncheon will still be $6. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be having hot foods this year, but our Unique Boutique will be returning,â&#x20AC;? noted Judy McLean, press and publicity co-ordinator. The Boutique was a sell-out last year and featured once loved and well cared for items and accessories, purses, belts, shoes. The popular Book Barn will also be returning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People missed the Book Barn last year,â&#x20AC;? explained McLean. John Marvin, who is in charge of this part of the bazaar, is putting the authors in alphabetical order so that it will be easier for shoppers to find an author that they enjoy. There will, of course, be plenty of
homemade ware: baked goods and knitted and hand-sewn items. Christmas items from the Auxiliary Gift Shop will be featured as well.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to have an overflowing bake table too,â&#x20AC;? said McLean. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our bazaar is always a great opportunity to get out, get a head start on Christmas, buy your baking [and go home and throw flour on your face to prove that you slaved over the oven making it] sit and have lunch, run into friends, do some Christmas shopping while supporting your local hospital,â&#x20AC;? she said enthusiastically. Look for posters around town promoting the fund-raising bazaar which takes place November 9 from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. Parking will be in the lot behind St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church on Bridge Street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is an event going on at the Legion next door and so people are being asked not to use their parking,â&#x20AC;? said McLean.

CARD OF THANKS
Card of Thanks
While a patient at Kingston General Hospital I had time to think about how truly thankful I am for all those people who were so supportive, loved and cared for me. First of all to my family for the many hours spent by my side my sincere thanks. To Dr. Michael Leveridge and his associates, thank you. For all the cards, phone calls, flowers, fruit baskets, visits and inquires I am most grateful. Each one provided a special lift. Most importantly to all those who have been praying for me throughout this ordeal just know that your prayers have been answered and I am on the road to recovery. May God richly bless you.
Thank You, HTM Insurance I want to thank the directors of HTM Insurance for the gifts I received as I retire. For over 20 years I have been proud to represent HTM Insurance as a director. My wife Helen & I have met a great group of people when we travelled to insurance functions across Canada/USA. I also met a lot of genuine policy holders when I was adjusting claims. I congratulate my successor Nancy Brown and wish her well. Thanks for the memories. Gene Brahancy

A championship pedigree gets dogs into the show By Steve Jessel
News - Belleville - Puppy treats and squeaky toys were in high demand at the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre this past weekend for the Belleville and District Kennel Club’s Championship Shows, and for show chairperson Gail Giles, there’s one thing that keeps her coming back for more. “We love our dogs,” she said with a smile. “My husband calls it the most expensive hobby in the world.” More than 800 dogs of every breed, shape colour and size packed themselves into the Yardmen Arena over three days of competition from October 25 to 27, all with their eyes set on one prize: best in show. However, to reach that lofty goal, canine competitors must prove themselves as the best of their breed in the eyes of the judges, who grade the animals based on exacting written standards for each breed of dog. “Each dog has a standard that they have to conform to, and they’re all different,” said Michael Gelinas, a veteran judge of 20 years. “Certain breeds [interest people] and certain dogs [don’t] but you still have to judge the dog against their conformations.” The canine competition is far from the only attraction at the annual show, as for many long-time competitors and breeders it becomes a chance to reconnect with old friends. Participants travel from across Canada and even the U.S. to attend the championship, and for local resident Breezy Powell it’s hard to stay away. “We enjoy seeing friends and the Dogs are each graded on specific breed standards before moving on to social aspect, along with showing nice group competition. Here, Jan Cunningham leads Liam, a soft-coated dogs … the competition is fun,” she said. Wheaton Terrier through the judging area.
Handler Hailey Griffith carefully grooms Shetland Sheepdog Zippy ahead of competition during the Belleville and District Kennel Club’s Championship shows this past weekend.
Powell said she’s not as active on the competition circuit as she used to be, but living in nearby Shannonville the Belleville show is practically “in her backyard.” Powell said she showed three dogs during the Saturday competition, and explained a bit of the process that goes into preparing a dog for show. “When you’re not showing, you do a lot of physical conditioning,” she said. “They have to be athletic, they have to be in good health, good body weight, and they have to have a
lot of socialization and a good temperament.” Temperament is the first thing Giles, a breeder herself, said she looks for in a new litter of animals. After genetic testing to make the sure the animal is sound and in good health, dogs can expect a veritable whirlwind of training and socialization in preparation for their big day under the lights. “I don’t keep a dog unless I feel the temperament is good and strong,” Giles said. “Then I take it to dog shows, I take it
to handling classes, I take it to PetSmart, I take it all over the place.” While not every dog is able to win best in show, placing well during competition garners valuable points toward the overall rankings by the Canadian Kennel Club, which sanctions both the event and the local club. “The best in show is the epitome of it all, but you can certainly become a champion without ever getting a best in show,” Giles said.
