Madoc soldiers served in great numbers

By Sue Dickens

Madoc – This Centre Hastings village should be rightfully proud of its contribution to the war effort, having sent so many of its sons off to fight and die overseas. Madoc and Township soldiers of the Great War: 1914 to 1918 was the topic of a presentation by Steve Glover, born in Belleville, son of Alex Glover of Madoc, now living in Barrie. He gave the presentation at the Madoc Public Library on Saturday, Oct. 22. “My talk is about the First World War and the Madoc Township soldiers from the area who were part of that,” Glover told the Central Hastings/Trent Hills News. His quest for historical information was inspired by a discussion around the kitchen table during a visit to his uncle Bill Glover’s home in 1976 in Madoc Township. “Uncle Bill had recorded family information and took me through a number of Glover family photos, relatives from the past and relatives who were now of a senior age,” Glover explained. In conversations with his own father, he learned more. “Around a Saturday or Sunday morning breakfast table, I heard stories of his youth and his family,” he said. “Dad’s Uncle Fred died when he

was just 3 years old, so he never knew him. But he had a few souvenirs from his uncle, including a black cast-iron piggy bank that contained some of my father’s coin collection from the Second World War.” So Glover wrote a tribute to his uncle who fought in the First World War and, along with many other Canadian troops, saw action in April 1917 on the Vimy Ridge battlefield and is buried in France. Glover’s interest took him even further and so, 100 slides later at his talk in Madoc, his audience learned much about the soldiers he had researched. “There’s a story about Fred Higgins, and we don’t even have a picture of the man,” said Glover. His research has led him to his current project, which involves getting the names of soldiers from Madoc and Township on the Canadian Virtual War Memorial website, a registry of more than 118,000 Canadians and Newfoundlanders who have given their lives serving Canada or the United Kingdom. “My research indicates that 220plus soldiers were from Madoc or were living Madoc,” he said. “One of the points I made is that there are 72 Steve Glover was the guest presenter at the Madoc Public Library on Saturday, Oct. 22, and he talked about names on the Madoc Cenotaph, and I the First World War and the Madoc Township soldiers from the area who fought in it. His goal is to have all researched more than 225. “We need to get that information of these soldiers’ names on the Canadian Virtual War Memorial website. Sue Dickens/Metroland out. It’s become a labour of love.”

Two new members introduced to Stirling Library Board By Terry McNamee

Stirling - At its first meeting since July 12, the Stirling Public Library Board introduced two of its new members. Donald Burr and Shari ElsonO’Garr were both at the meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 18, although the third new member, Mano McNabb, was unable to attend. “I wanted to be on the board because I really value the library and what it does for the community,” said Elson-O’Garr. She said she is aware of the friction that has plagued the board

in the past year and she hopes to help change that. Burr said he has served on several different boards in the past, although not in Stirling. “I’m new to the community,” he said. “This is my third year (here).” He said joining the library board would be a good way for him to learn more about Stirling. Both live in the village of Stirling. With former vice-chair Stephanie Monk no longer on the board, having moved elsewhere, the board chose Pat Anderson to be the new vice-chair.

Elson-O’Garr was pleased with the package of information the new members received about the library and the board, but quickly pointed out a lack. “I was looking for an organizational chart and job descriptions,” she said. Board chair Councillor Dean Graff agreed that this needs to be added and it will be done once library CEO Sue Winfield, who is currently on medical leave, returns to work. An interim CEO has not been named. Graff brought forward a proposal to rescind motion 94/16, which was passed earlier this year and gave the

public and media an opportunity to ask questions at the end of each meeting before it is adjourned. When ElsonO’Garr queried this, Councillor Bob Mullin said the motion permitting the public to ask questions is going to be rewritten. “In what way are you planning to change this?” ElsonO’Garr asked. Anderson said the main change is to add a time limit. Miranda DeJonge suggested 15 minutes overall be set as the time allowed for questions and comments pertaining to the agenda. “I don’t know of any other board or committee that does this (allow a public question period),” Graff said. However, there is a question period at the end of all Stirling-Rawdon Council meetings. Graff mentioned that October is Public Library Month in Canada and that perhaps something can be organized to celebrate this next year. The next board meeting will take place at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 15.

Warkworth – The 37th annual perfect pie contest, which normally is held on the first Saturday in November, will be one week later this year due to unforeseen circumstances. This announcement was made by Pat McLellan of the Warkworth Order of the Eastern Star, who wants to make sure everyone knows of the change in dates to ensure this year is successful. In the past, the organization’s event has raised money for local charities and institutions such as the Campbellford Hospital. Proceeds this year are going to the Children’s Shriners

Hospital of Canada and other Eastern Star Chapter charities. The categories are the same as in the past and include apple only, filled, fruit, maple syrup, meringue topped, pecan, pumpkin and savoury. Additional categories include men’s open, youth 13 to 18, children 12 years and seniors over 65 years of age (any kind of pie). Judges, whose names are kept confidential, also choose winners for the best pie made from local ingredients such as bison, cheese, beef or fruit. When it comes to judging the entries, it can be a tough tasting task, because the tables can be filled with as many as 130 pies submitted for the

Youth Advisory Council collecting for foodbank By Sue Dickens

Campbellford – Members of the Youth Advisory Council (YAC) of Campbellford District High School (CDHS) will be collecting items for the local food bank at two local events. Katherine Forestell, a Grade 12 student at CDHS and prime minister of YAC, said the students will be at a Cram the Car

event on Thursday, Oct. 27, at Sharpe’s Food Market from 11:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Students from grades 9 through 12 will be participating. “We will be trying to cram the trunk of a car with a lot of food items,” she told the Central Hastings/Trent Hills News. Council students will also be going door to door to

homes in Campbellford on Halloween night, Monday, Oct. 31, from 6 p.m. on for a couple of hours to collect donations of non-perishable food items. A member of YAC since Grade 10, Forestell said, “These events are important to get the youth involved in the community and to get them noticed in the community.”

OPINION

A Tale of Two Cities

Two great sieges are getting underway in the Middle East, one in Mosul in Iraq and the other in Aleppo in Syria. They have a great deal in common, including the fact that the attackGwynne Dyer ers both depend heavily on foreign air power, but they are treated by most international media as though they were completely different events. How similar they are will become clearer with the passage of time. Sieges of cities, once a major part of warfare, grew rare in the course of the 20th century, mainly because of the rise of air power. You didn’t need to besiege cities any more, because you could just smash them to smithereens from the air: Guernica, Dresden, Hiroshima. But that’s not so easy in the era of instant global media coverage. Seventy years without a really major war have allowed us to develop a major dislike for killing civilians from the air. Nobody on either side would have been the least bit reluctant to blast Aleppo or Mosul into oblivion in 1945 if it served their strategic purposes, but moral tastes have changed. Every civilian death from bombing in Iraq and Syria – but not the thousands of other civilian casualties each month – is therefore publicly catalogued and condemned. The Russians are taking enormous criticism over their bombing of the rebel-held eastern part of Aleppo (although the indiscriminate “barrel bombs” are the work of the Syrian air force, not the Russians). The US air force has been much more careful about its bombing around Mosul so far, but it too will end up having to choose between bombing the city heavily and seeing the Iraqi government’s attack fail. Both Mosul and eastern Aleppo are Sunni Muslim cities facing an attempted reconquest by Shia-dominated national governments. In both cases the rebel fighters who control the besieged areas are jihadi extremists: Islamic State in Mosul, and the Nusra Front in eastern Aleppo. (In Aleppo, the jihadis number perhaps a thousand out of ten thousand fighters, but they dominate both the fighting and the decision-making.) In both cases, too, the troops on the government side are divided by ethnic and sectarian differences, and largely unreliable.

Which is why, in the end, government victory in both countries depends on foreign air power. In Aleppo, the troops leading the attack on the ground are mostly Shia militias recruited from Lebanon, Iraq and Afghanistan and paid for by Iran. Actual Syrian army troops have been decimated and exhausted by five years of war, and those who remain are being carefully husbanded. So they wait for the Russians to bomb the defenders to pieces, and just use the troops to mop up afterwards. In the case of Mosul, the attacking forces are even more varied. The Iraqi government’s regular troops are mostly Shia, and the pro-government militias are entirely Shia and notorious for treating Sunnis badly. Since almost everybody left in Mosul is Sunni, they are terrified of the government’s troops. The Iraqi govenment has therefore promised that Shia militias will not enter the city, nor will the Kurdish troops that are assisting in the early part of the offensive. What this means, however, is that very few soldiers will actually be fighting once the attack reaches the edge of the city proper. There will be perhaps 25,000 Iraqi regular army troops in the final assault, of whom maybe half can be relied on to fight. There will be around 5,000 American troops in the area, but they are not allowed to engage in direct combat. And there are about 1,500 Turkish army troops who have been training a Sunni militia north of Mosul (but the government in Baghdad has ordered them to leave). Islamic State’s five or six thousand fighters have had years to prepare their defences, and street fighting uses up attacking troops very fast. Even “precision” airstrikes in urban areas always mean lots of dead civilians, but central Mosul will not fall unless the United States uses its air force to dig the defenders out. Even the current advance across relatively open country south and east of Mosul relies on the massive use of air power to keep the attackers’ casualties down. When the troops reach the city limits, the whole operation will stall unless the US government starts serious bombing in the built-up area. If it does that, then the civilian casualties will be quite similar to those inflicted by the Russian air force in eastern Aleppo. But the Western media will doubtless still find ways to see a huge difference between the two.

Don’t let fear ruin Halloween Editorial by Chris Malette You know it’s a sure time of the change of seasons when the leaves are in the wind and lawn displays for Halloween begin to appear. It’s Halloween season and that can only mean one thing as certain as candy sizes are getting smaller and prices go up at the same time – it’s scare-mongering season. That’s right, it’s time to cringe in fear that little Ethan or Mercedes (it’s 2016, no one’s named Jane or Johnny any more) will come home and bite into a fentanyl-laced chocolate bar, slip a razor-infused Tootsie Roll into his or her mouth or, worse, be attacked by a scary clown. Ah, yes, scary clowns. It’s all the rage, these creepy clowned-up characters who are wandering about, scaring the bejeebers out of the general populace. Can you say ‘first world problem’ when one considers that someone in clown garb is striking terror in the hearts of the North American populace as Halloween approaches? You want real terror, go to Aleppo or Mosul. Creepy clown sightings aren’t new, by the way. They date, according to research done by the New York Times, from at least May 1981, “when the cryptozoologist Loren Coleman coined the term ‘phantom clowns’ to describe them. At the time, children in Brookline, Mass., were reporting clowns in vans who beckoned them with promises of candy. The police issued an all-points bulletin, established checkpoints and conducted searches, but no clowns were captured.” Lately, you’ll see the occasional news report of police cuffing one of these poor mooks, but rarely do you hear of a charge. Some clown – and we mean that in the most dismissive, pejorative term – in Picton allegedly punched someone before running off, recently. But, still, we’ll terrorize our kids and some adults with the spectre of gruesome clowns waiting in bushes this Halloween to frighten anyone who comes along. We’ve seen in the past where communities will advertise a “safe alternative” to trick-or-treating by holding a community shell-out at a rink or mall. Trenton, we notice, is doing just that with their “Boofest” from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. at the Duncan McDonald rink. No disrespect or ill-will to the people who work hard to put this on, but since when was trick-or-treating ever an inherently dangerous thing to do?

Seems every few years, a new wave of hysteria is whipped up to prompt quavering parents to keep the kids in a small sphere of visiting only neighrbours they trust, family members and, for heaven’s sake, even their local church as they don’t trust any other places for their precious, bubble-wrapped darlings to visit. In Memphis, Tennessee, Dr. Jon McCullers, Chief Pediatrician at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital, was quoted last Halloween as saying, yes, “parents have to remain vigilant,” but said in an online interview that the spectre of drug-tainted candy isn’t “on their radar” at the renowned children’s hospital. “We haven’t seen that here at Le Bonheur,” Dr. McCullers declared. “(The annual scare over drugged candy) goes back to when I was a kid. Everybody worried about that sort of thing.” And they still do. Yet, think about it. Of the millions of kids who trot out with mom and dad, showing remarkable ingenuity, in their creativity to come up with costumes that are “awwww, isn’t that cute” inducing, how many really come up with a pin in an apple or a hit of speed in their ju-jubes? None. Or next to none. That’s why it is the lone, rare news item that comes up on November 1 that carries the headline “Tampered candy found in Upper Musquodoboit.” There have, even back in our day, been reports of bullies who may occasionally shove a child to the ground and swipe his or her candy. But, is it a scourge of these roving zombies, hell-bent to snatch your kid’s Skittles? Not anywhere in any numbers worth reporting and police statistics bear that up. Sure, there will be volunteer groups walking our streets wearing reflective vests, making sure the bad apples aren’t after the candy apples (does anyone even give those out any more??) and that is a nice gesture. But, this Halloween, let’s remember it’s a time for the wee ones – and this means wee ones, not 15 and 16 year-olds – to go out, dress up, walk with mom and dad or their friends and have a little fun while filling their pillow cases and plastic pumpkins. It’s definitely not a time to be rendered paralyzed with fear that the creepy clown is ready to pounce and the weird old fella down the block is just waiting to drug little Ezekiel or Zoe. Lighten up and light up those jack-o-lanterns. Have a little fun. It’s contagious.

Man escapes house fire near Marmora

By Sue Dickens

Marmora – An 88-year-old man, the sole occupant at 59 O’Heir Road, north off of Centre Line Road, Marmora, escaped from his home which was destroyed by fire early Sunday morning. Mamora and Lake Fire Department Public Relations Officer Greg Shire said the man “did get out of the house . . . and did have some smoke inhalation,” and he was transported by EMS to Campbellford Memorial Hospital. The call was received at 7:53 a.m. and because of a mutual aid fire agreement the Madoc Fire Department was also called to the scene. “They are automatically called out,” explained Shire. “We had about 25 men on the scene at all times . . . all are volunteer firefighters,” he commented. Water had to be trucked in from a nearby pond and the fire department used a porta-tank at the scene. There is no estimate of damage available yet. “We do our own investigation but we wait until the insurance company does theirs and we work together on that,” said Shire. The cause of the blaze has also yet to be determined.

The Hospice journey theme of AGM By Sue Dickens

was made of a two-year grant totalling $129,000 for Caregiver Support and Fundraising Sustainability through the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Executive Director Eileen Quinn

said this grant allows Hospice to develop a caregiver support program called Take Heart. “Caring for someone you love is a big commitment, and many people find they have lit-

tle time left over to take care of their own needs, and may feel overwhelmed and stressed out,” Quinn explained. The program allows caregivers a little time away from home

Madoc – The theme at this year’s Annual General Meeting of the Heart of Hastings Hospice held Tuesday, Oct. 17, was “The Hospice Journey”, in acknowledgement of the many ways the organization may support a family faced with terminal illness and the many different community members who make that possible. Individuals who have been touched by the Hospice services shared their stories, including a war veteran who borrowed a wheelchair from the hospice equipment loan program so that he could attend the VIP tent at the The Hospice board of directors includes: from left, Will Allen, outgoing director; Dr. JaTrenton air show, net Webb, medical advisor and director; Lori Martin, treasurer and director; Roy Dullege, a participant from board chair; Anne Gallop, director; Judy Farrimond, director; and Mary Stewart, director.

to renew their energies and share the challenges and joys of caregiving with others in the same boat. While the family caregiver is taking a break, Hospice provides a trained care volunteer to attend to the needs of their loved one at home. Fundraising is a key component for Hospice services, as no provin-

cial dollars are provided to support the Hospice House. Visiting Hospice Services only receive partial funding from the province. A total of 1,041 individuals donated directly to Hospice, and 41 groups donated or held fundraising events for Hospice. The Heart of Hastings Hospice is a com-

munity-based, volunteer, in-home service, dedicated to meeting the needs of individuals and their families who are facing the terminal phase of their illness. The Hospice will assist these people to remain in their home longer and to die at home or at the Residential Hospice in Madoc.

Afterwards, Stephens said it was a great day for the hospice, a day he sometimes thought “would never come. I’m really thrilled.” The level of care being provided at the hospice is more than he had imagined, which he attributed to the caring and compassion residents receive in addition to the care they are provided. Vice-chair Jan Hux said the idea for the hospice originated 10 years ago with a chance meeting of three nurses, Dunne, Lynda Pecora and Pauline Faull, who believed more could be done in caring for people at the end of their lives. Faull died 11 months ago at the hospice. “We had the privilege of caring for her in the space that she helped to inspire,” Hux said. She said many others

have been helped as well, including a homeless person who was “surrounded by beauty and care and love in her last days,” and “a resident with really fractured family relationships” for whom the hospice “created a place of safety where the family could congregate and where reconciliation and healing could happen.” The hospice has had 73 residents since its opening, 44 in the past year. The board’s treasurer, Gerry Hutcheon, said the government’s investment replaces temporary funding Saint Elizabeth Community Enterprise has been providing as part of a five-year agreement it signed with the hospice in 2015 to enhance health care services.

We’ve been featuring a business every day so it gets people hyped up for the tour.” The pamphlet is available at each of the locations and at the Marmora and Lake tourism office. Every person that picks up a pamphlet will find a passport inside and when they go to each of the stops on the tour they can get it stamped. “When they are finished the tour, they can hand the passport in to their last stop and be entered into a draw for $1,000 worth of prizes,” said Abraham. Each of the businesses on the tour will have a red wreath on their door to identify them as part of the event. They each paid $200 to participate and were required to donate a prize worth at least $75. “One person will win the draw for all those prizes,” Abraham explained. For more details, go to www.face-

Don Mathews was a community leader, mentor By Bill Freeman

Havelock – They name buildings and parks after people like Don Mathews. The long-time teacher, vice principal, public school board trustee, fire volunteer/fire chief, Havelock Lions Life Member and minor softball coach died Oct. 2 in his 82nd year. He leaves behind a hard-to-match legacy as a contributor to the community he championed in so many ways and to his family who share his passion for life and good works. Mathews wasn’t content to rest on his laurels after retiring from elementary school teaching in 1991. Instead, he took his love of learning to the boardroom, serving as a public school board trustee for nine years. He mentored more than a generation of volunteer firefighters through

a 37-year career that included time as fire chief, and met the challenge of creating a new fire department with the amalgamation of the Village of Havelock and the Township of Belmont-Methuen in 1998. Mathews was a Havelock Lions Club member for 43 years. He served as president and secretary and chair of Zone 43 North and received two of Lions International’s highest honours. The Havelock Santa Claus parade was something he helped organize, and during the summer he coached youth softball. Mathews’s reach extended into many facets of life in HBM and his example was there for thousands of people, many finding inspiration to pursue their own dreams as Mathews had done himself.

“Just because it’s a small school doesn’t mean you’re going to do small things,” said psychologist Dr. Tammy Drain at Havelock Belmont Public School’s 50th anniversary celebration. “Dream as big as you want to dream,” The 1989 grad took her inspiration from teachers like Mathews, one of the first to join the school. Matthews, she said, “knew how to inspire the pre-teen emerging from adolescence. (He) was honest, straightforward; he was a true supporter and instilled strong values.” “Don’s career as an educator was one of his most influential positions in our community,” HBM Mayor Ron Gerow said. Gerow was one of Mathews’s students and later, as a municipal leader, was impressed at how he helped

shape the local fire department into a streamlined organization with stateof-the-art equipment and vigorous recruiting. “His ability to serve as a mentor to many was something that just came natural,” Gerow said. As a school board trustee, Gerow said, Mathews’s background and understanding of the rural community served him well. His “positive leadership voice” will live on in HBM, Gerow added. Current trustee Shirley Patterson was a friend of Mathews from their teenage years. Mathews was her mentor when she was elected to the Kawartha Pine Ridge District Board. “His coaching was invaluable,” she said. Mathews’s death, she says, is a tremendous loss to the community and

will be felt into the future. “(He was a) great leader who devoted his time and lifelong efforts to promote better education to several generations,” said Patterson. “There aren’t many (people) around now like Don,” Havelock Lions past President Don Radnor said. Radnor delivered the special Lions Service in his honour. It makes you feel a “little sheepish,” Radnor said, when you say you don’t have time to do things in the community and then look at what someone like Mathews, with a busy professional and family life, accomplished. The Lions have established two awards (high school and elementary) in Mathews’s name. Radnor hopes recipients will reflect on “what this man meant to the community. “He will be missed.”

No decision on 50 steps in Hastings until exact costs are known By John Campbell

Trent Hills – Council will wait on receipt of the exact costs for the removal and/or replacement of the 50 historic steps in Hastings before making a decision on what residents say is a significant landmark. Those options will be included in a tender that will go out after a final design of the Trent Street reconstruction project is completed by Greer Galloway Consulting Engineers. The firm noted in its report to council that the concrete steps, used by schoolchildren for decades, do not meet the current requirements of the Ontario Building Code or mini-

mum accessible standards, and are a municipal liability. Replacing them with 42 steps made of steel with open grating and landings would maintain easier pedestrian access between upper and lower Trent Street, but they would require regular maintenance and “may not be aesthetically appealing to all,” it said. At a public information centre held Sept. 14, the public “showed stronger support for leaving the existing stairs in place.” Due to what it called “the political nature” of the 50 steps, Greer Galloway recommended that the options for replacement and removal be included in the future tender, after which council and staff can decide on a preferred action.

The firm estimated the cost to remove the stairs with minimal landscaping is approximately $15,000, whereas to install code-compliant metal stairs would be roughly $100,000. “This is the perfect way to do it,” Deputy Mayor Bob Crate said of the process being followed before final approval is given to the reconstruction project, which includes putting in new storm sewers, curbs and sidewalks. “We do need that street improved.” Crate, who represents Hastings ward, said there are “lots of compelling reasons to keep” the steps. Their heritage, for one, he said, “something unique to the village.” But they’re also used quite a bit,

he added. Crate said said as soon as you say “all options (are) on the table ... people get upset because they think you’re pushing that option of getting rid of the stairs, and that’s not true.” He said his personal view is “to figure out a way to have something there so it’s good for the municipality” but still reduce the liability. “The people will have a chance to discuss it,” Crate added, and by the time the issue comes back to council, “I think there will be some other avenues we can look at.”

Musician with roots in Madoc returns to perform By Sue Dickens

Stirling – Playing the 19th-century violin-piano sonata repertoire, musician Sebastian Sallans will be returning to the region where his roots are to perform with his pianist Todd Yaniw. Sallans is from Madoc. Presented by the Quinte Society for Chamber Music (QSCM), the duo will be bringing quality classical music to St. Paul’s United Church in Stirling on Saturday, Nov. 19, at 7 p.m. They also performed here last year with St. Paul’s senior choir. This year’s concert is called “Between Friends” and will feature violin and piano sonatas by Johannes Brahms and Cesar Franck. The violin piano sonatas are written by friends for friends to play. The performers are good friends and have embarked upon a musical adventure to study the great violin and piano sonata repertoire and play it as it was meant to be played. As the Society notes on its website, Yaniw, whose concert artist career includes concerto appearances with the

Toronto Symphony and Canada’s other major orchestras, concert tours in Canada, Europe, the USA and China, and Sallans, an award-winning violinist much in demand as an orchestral player as well as a soloist, are highly accomplished professional musicians. Bonnie Sallans, a member of the Society’s committee which includes Ross Carlisle and Doug Grey, explained that, as an extension of the “Between Friends” event, Yaniw and Sallans also will be appearing in the classroom of local high schools. The intimate setting of St. Paul’s United Church is noted as being just the right size of performing space to allow every listener to see the performers up close and personal and hear the sound coming directly from the instruments without any electronic interference or amplification. Tickets are $15. and are available at Madoc and Stirling Home Hardware stores, at Pinnacle Music in Belleville, on-line at QSCMusic.com or by calling 613-473-4461. For more information, go to: http:// www.qscmusic.com

Bridge Hospice run raises about $7,000

Stabbing suspect sought after Havelock assault

By Sue Dickens

Warkworth – Described as “grassroots running at its best,” the 12th annual Bridge Hospice W8 running event set a couple of records, with 130 runners raising approximately $7,000. It was a very nippy morning on Saturday, Oct. 22, but that didn’t deter the runners from enthusiastically competing. This was the third year competing for Jillian Clarke, age 12, from Castleton, who raised $80 the first year, $1500 the second and $2,300 this time. “I feel like it’s really good to do this because it’s not about raising money for myself, it’s not about myself, it’s raising money for someone else and doing it for somebody else,” she said. “The Hospice is a place for people to go when they are dying, when they can’t stay at home. It’s a place like home to make them feel at home.” Her motivation and interest in supporting the Hospice stems from the passing of her grandfather, Gerry Schuster. “My opa (grandfather) died three years ago,” she explained. “We were considering sending him to the hospice, but he died too quickly.” Another runner, Peter Rees, who lives just north of Birmingham in England and has been visiting relatives in Toronto, decided the W8 run should be on his list of things to do before he heads home. “I saw it on a website,” he said. “We’re combining a bit of running, a bit of sightseeing, a bit of visiting. I love getting fit again. “If you see a picture of me from about four years ago, you wouldn’t recognize me. I’ve lost about 70 pounds. I run probably about 20 to 30 miles a week now.” Rees also ran the Scotiabank Toronto Marathon in Toronto last week. ”I did it in one hour 40 minutes and so was just outside the top 600 runners,” he said, happy to be competing in a variety of runs. Winners in the adult races include: 5K – 1st man overall, Adam Doxtater, 21, Frankford, with a time of 18:08; 1st woman overall, Nancie Gibson, 55, Belleville, time 23:48; 8-miler; 13K – 1st man overall, Andrew Brown, 17, Carrying Place, 49:51; 1st woman overall, Erin King, 43, Whitby, time 58:21. Volunteers from the community included marshalling by the Warkworth Community Service Club and leading cyclists Ross Roy and Peter Brackenbury. Water stations were manned by community families and volunteers.

(Above) Peter Rees (far left), of England, and Jillian Clarke, 12, of Castleton, were among the record-setting 130 runners who registered for the W8 running event. Also pictured are Michele Adams and Andy Ross, who helped to register participants. (Below) The 1-km race for children 10 years and younger kick-started the W8 running event. These youngsters gave it their all, with Sandra Allanson-Kelly, right, shouting “Ready, set, go!” Sue Dickens/Metroland

and an electronic survey conducted in June that was completed by 143 people. The trail is “to complete a loop for people to walk through that area,” he said, while the racks are be installed to assist the Warkworth Business Association’s efforts “to make Warkworth a biking-friendly community.” The mini-splash pad is “important to bringing young families into the community” and keeping those already here, Lennon said.

In asking for the council to agree in principle with the recommendations proposed by the committee, Lennon also asked that its mandate to make recommendations be updated “to support moving forward with these projects” by finding leaders and sponsors to take them on. “We are looking for new folks to sit on the committee for the next two years,” he said.

PeeWee Hawks win a close one over Gananoque Islanders By Brett Mann

Tweed – Tweed’s PeeWee C Hawks managed to hold on to a one-goal lead in the third period to win their second game against the Gananoque Islanders, bringing the team’s season record to seven wins and three losses. The teams were well matched, and the Islanders came back from trailing 4-1 at the end of the second period to nearly tying the game with two more goals in the third. In the end, the Hawks

walked away with a 4-3 victory after some tense, exciting end-of-period play. A Hawks body-checking penalty in the last two minutes of the game gave the Islanders a power play, adding to the drama. The Islanders team iced only 13 players to the Hawks 15, and they were noticeably tiring in the final period. with several players having trouble staying on their feet. The play was fast and aggressive with the Hawks accumulating six penalties to the Islanders’ four. Through much of the

game and especially the second period, the Hawks tended to dominate the action with superior puck control and passing, but both goalies had to deal with many shots on net and close calls. Levi Gravelle performed very well in net for the Hawks and was key in avoiding a tied game. Islanders’ goalkeeper Max Tsitiridis dealt with flurries of Hawks shots and, through a combination of skill and luck, kept the final score spread to one goal. Tyler Sawkins opened the

scoring with a goal in the last minute of play in the first period assisted by Kelien Dostator. Sawkins got past the Islanders’ goalie again early in the second period with an assist from Hayden

Blackburn. Laine Clement and Kelien Dostator each added another point to the scoreboard in the second period, assisted by Niilo Ahola and Tyler Sawkins, respectively.

The PeeWee C Hawks meet the Frontenac Flyers on home ice on Sunday, Oct. 30, at 4 p.m. and are gearing up for the Pembroke Regional Silverstick Tournament in mid-November.

Norwood Nemesis finally Losing streak stretches pick up win to double digits for

By Bill Freeman

Norwood – It took a while, but the Norwood J.J. Stewart Motors Nemesis are finally in the win column after a solid 4-1 home win over the Seaforth Generals in Canadian Premier Junior Hockey League action. The Nemesis (1-9-0) snapped a nine-game losing streak Sunday night, Oct. 23, capping a busy weekend with three games in three nights, including long road trips to Seaforth (1-12-0) and Ottawa (7-3-0) where they lost 4-1 and 7-1. The Generals, last in the CPJHL’s west division, snapped an 11-game losing streak of their own with the 4-1 win over Norwood on Oct. 21. With 14 skaters on the bench, Norwood used a second-period power surge to jump past the Generals, who led 1-0 after the first frame. Norwood got a pair of goals from Isaac Haskins and singles by Connor Sikma and Owen Walsh to get the win. Kyle Thomson earned two assists, with sin-

gles going to Sikma, Mike Madgett, Daniel Bennett, Joey Dodds and Adam Ostapiak. Liam Austin earned the win in net and was the game’s first star. Norwood outshot Seaforth 29-13. In Ottawa, Norwood trailed 2-1 after two periods but, with just 10 skaters on the bench, ran out of gas in the third, giving up six straight goals. Kyle Ross notched Norwood’s lone goal. In Seaforth, the Generals and Nemesis were tied 1-1 after two, but it was Seaforth that rallied in the third with three unanswered goals. Thomson scored for Norwood. Nemesis buzz: Norwood travels to Altmonte on Saturday, Oct. 29, to face the first place Sharpshooters (7-1-0-1). They will host the Glengarry Highlanders (6-3-0-2) on Sunday, Oct. 30. The CPJHL’s players of the month for September were Parker Stewart of the Essa Stallions, Devin Gates of the Muskoka Wild and Essa goalie Ethan James, a native of London, England.

outgunned Rebels

By John Campbell

Campbellford – The Rebels’ season of futility continued last weekend as the Provincial Junior Hockey League team dropped two more, stretching their losing streak to 10 games. Campbellford kept it close for one period in Saturday’s loss at home against the Picton Pirates, trailing only 2-1 after 20 minutes. The roof caved in the middle frame as the visitors scored six unanswered goals on 12 shots, the same number the Rebels directed the other way. Picton added another in the third for a 9-1 win. Campbellford’s lone tally came on a power-play goal by Cam O’Rourke that tied the game at 18:43. Picton restored its lead just 12 seconds later. The Rebels surprisingly kept the score

close the next day in Port Hope, facing the Panthers, the number one team in the Tod Division, undefeated with 10 wins – 11 after Sunday’s win. Campbellford was badly outshot 56-13, but lost the match 5-2, as Rebel netminder Dryden Bedard turned aside 51 shots. The Rebels led 2-1 after the first period, with Nicholas Grosjean and Kurtis Giles finding the back of the net on two of the

team’s six shots. Campbellford is the only team without a win in the PJHL’s Eastern Conference, managing just 18 goals while giving up 82. The team will look to get off the schneid this Saturday, Oct. 29, when it hosts the Napanee Raiders at 7:30 p.m. It won’t be easy. The Panthers hold down second spot with a record of 8-3-0 and has thumped their hosts twice, 11-1 and 13-2.

Emotions run high at Business Achievement Awards By Stephen Petrick

Wellington – There was a standing ovation, tears of sorrow, and dozens of uplifting moments to relish Quinte as a growing region for business. The 2016 Quinte Business Achievement Awards had a bit of everything and it left the hundreds who had packed Highline Hall at the Essroc Centre last Friday night with plenty of reasons to believe the region will always be economically strong. The Business Person of the Year Award went to philanthropist Ed Lehtinen, the long-time owner of Belleville-based business Impacto Protective Products. After nearly 50 years living in Belleville, Lehtinen and his wife Fran have contributed to dozens of charities and community projects – a fact not lost on the audience, which gave Lehtinen a standing ovation, as he walked slowly to the podium, with help from a cane, which he said he’s using as a result of a recent hip replacement. In a touching address, Lehtinen acknowledged that it’s not easy to run a business. “It’s been a rough ride for 30 year, but that’s how it is,” he said, with heads in the audience nodding in agreement. “Thank you for this award,” he continued. “We really appreciate it.” Minutes later, a respectful hush fell over the room as Sam Osborne accepted the Business Excellence Award for his business Fireplace Specialities. Sam’s father and business mentor, Al Osborne, had died one night earlier at age 68. An emotional Sam, spoke about how his father always took pride in creating products and visions for customers’ homes. “It’s about creating something they can be proud of and something we can (From left) Megan, Ben and Sam Osborne accepted the Business Excellence Award for Fireplace Specialties be proud of,” he said. on behalf of their father Al Osborne at the 2016 Quinte Business Achievement Awards on Friday.

Regulated Professional Business of the Year award for his new business, The Belleville Integrated Health Centre. His business partner, Matt Wong, accepted the award with him and asked the audience to raise a glass for Al, a gesture that led Ben to break down in tears. In total 14 awards were presented during the evening. The other award winners are as follows: Agribusiness of the Year: Ramirez Vineyard Services Hospitality/Tourism Business of the Year: Cottage Advisors of Canada Manufacturing/Industrial Business of the Year: Research Casting International Young Entrepreneur of the Year: Jenna Empey New Business of the Year: Furball’s Choice Not For Profit of the Year: Canadian Mental Health Association, Hastings Prince Edward Retail Business of the Year: Sunflower Health Shop & Services Trade & Construction Business of the Year: Wentworth Landscapes Specialized Service Business of the Year: WhistleStop Productions Sustainability Award: Astoria Organic Matters Canada LP Trailblazer of the Year: TruckRight The Quinte Business Achievement Awards have now taken place for 20 years.

Water warnings from Maude Barlow underlined by local and national events By Terry McNamee

Belleville—Water rights activist and Council of Canadians chairperson Maude Barlow told people gathered at Eastminster United Church in Belleville recently, that the decreasing amount of fresh water is reaching a crisis level — not just in arid or Third World countries, but right here in Canada. “Everything that’s happening to water around the world is happening here,” Barlow said. “The demand for water in the world is going straight up, and the supply is going straight down.” The truth of that message was reinforced the very next morning, when Stirling-Rawdon Township’s Environmental Committee passed a bylaw mandating that all residents of the township reduce their water usage by 50 per cent because the Township’s wells are perilously close to running dry for the first time ever.

Barlow, who was speaking at the invitation of the Quinte Branch of the United Nations Association in Canada, said the water crisis has resulted from many factors: global warming, water being poisoned by the overuse of pesticides and herbicides and the dumping of dangerous chemicals on land, a lack of regulation for how freshwater resources are managed and the selling of fresh water for pennies a litre to large corporations. She said Canada’s ground water has not been mapped, and the longterm effects of allowing corporations to remove large quantities of ground water is unknown. In some areas, it is becoming a serious issue: Nestlé, which sells bottled water, recently outbid a small municipality near Guelph ON for a well the town will need in future for its drinking water. While exporting Canada’s water is becoming a hot topic, so is the use of water for extracting other resources, such as oil and natural gas. “For every unit of oil they (companies) extract, they use two to five units of water, and then (the water) is poisoned by the chemicals they use,” she said. She said oil

pipelines are not dangerous because of the oil itself, but because of all the chemicals needed to thin it enough to flow through the pipes — and those pipes go under rivers and lakes and over aquifers. If there is a spill, those chemicals pollute sources of drinking water. The issue of pipelines going under water sources has become a big issue in North Dakota this fall, with First Nations protesting the planned Dakota Access Pipeline. It’s also a major issue in Winnipeg, where Geoff Patton, a consultant hired by the city, identified major risks associated with the Energy East pipeline that is planned to cross over the Shoal Lake aqueduct, which is the sole source of drinking water for Winnipeg. Most shocking is the effect of chemical poisoning of large water sources. “Lake Winnipeg has been named the most endangered lake in the world,” Barlow said, adding that some scientists consider it to be dead. As with many other dead and dying lakes, blue-green algae is the culprit. This microscopic organism gathers in huge blooms when there phosphorus and other nutrients are carried into lakes by runoff from farms and stormwater outlets, and these blooms produce toxins that harm humans and animals. Barlow said extraction in the Alberta oil sands creates large ponds of toxic waste water that are now

leaching into the ground. She said that fracking — a method where water is pumped into pipes deep in the bedrock to force natural gas out — uses huge amounts of water, pollutes existing ground water and has been causing earthquakes in areas not prone to them. Aside from pollution rendering fresh water unusable, another factor is actual water loss. Some is due to global warming. Some is due to water being removed

for residential, commercial and industrial use. “Lakes in Canada are warming faster than anywhere else, especially the Great Lakes,” Barlow said. And, she said, if the ground water beneath the Great Lakes continues to be pumped out at current rates, the lakes “could be bone dry in 80 years.” She said government must take actin to protect Canada’s supply of fresh water before it is too late. “It’s time to abandon our erroneous belief that we have lots of water,” Barlow said. “We need a strong plan of action. “You can’t put water second.”

TRAVEL

Ghost town of St. Deroin is a Halloween destination

Now that Halloween is approaching once again, I thought that this would be a good time to do a travel piece about a ghost town that I’ve visited. St. Deroin, Nebraska, was formally charted in 1854 and became one of a chain of small trading settlements and supply posts located along the Missouri River. In its heyday, this town reached a population of about 300, and included 2 doctors and about 20 businesses. However, it primarily depended upon steamboat commerce for its growth and well-being, so when the ever-shifting river channel altered its course and abandoned this little settlement, the town seemed doomed. Flooding and a cholera epidemic hadn’t helped the town’s survival either, and it was virtually abandoned by the 1920s. All that remains now are a cemetery, a restored schoolhouse and general store, and several depressions in the landscape where buildings once stood. I checked out this Nebraskan destination for myself, for it’s now a part of Indian Cave State Historical Park, and I discovered that there’s even a Canadian connection to this ghost town. The founder of St. Deroin was Joseph Deroin, and his father was a French Canadian fur trader who married an Otoe woman. This fur trader’s name was Amable De Rouins, and the last name became anglicized to Deroin. His son, Joseph, eventually claimed land made available by the Treaty of Prairie du Chien, which set aside specific land for half-breeds, and he laid out the village that bears his name. It’s believed that the “Saint” was added later, to perhaps make it seem to be a ‘special place’, hopefully attracting more settlers there. The original town was built next to the bank of the river, below the bluffs, but much of it was eventually washed away by flooding. The school was dismantled and rebuilt high up on a hill, and it’s still there to this day. I was able to inspect its restored interior and also visit the nearby St. Deroin General Store, featuring an 1879 broom-making machine, where I spotted an intriguing sign that advised customers who were smokers and chewers to “Please Spit on each other and NOT on the STOVE or FLOOR”. While in Indian Cave State Park, I was also able to visit a rebuilt log cabin, located near the original townsite, and witness candle-dipping and the making of lye soap. I even bought a cake of “Granny’s Lye Soap” to bring home, for it’s said to be a kind of cure-all. It’s

supposedly great for removing grass stains from clothes, fighting dandruff, easing poison ivy, and relieving sunburn. It’s also said to be useful for relieving “itching from chiggers, mosquitoes, ticks, or any other bugs”, as fish bait, and “for dirty-mouthed kids”. What a product! While in Indian Cave State Park, I also wanted to see the actual Indian Cave itself, for it dates back several thousand years, and its walls are etched with ancient petroglyphs. As I ascended the steep, long staircase, I eventually arrived at the cave walls and etchings, but I found the specific name of this state park to be a bit of a misnomer, for I wasn’t able to enter an actual cave. However, I was able to see some of the ancient depictions of wildlife on the exterior walls of the sandstone cavity, and I discovered that other writings and sketches have been defaced or obscured over the years. I learned that Indian Cave State Park offers year-round camping, including a horse camp with hitching posts, corrals, and 20 km. of designated equestrian trails. Hikers will find about 35 km. of footpaths here, and I just had to try at least one of these (Trail 7). Many of these hiking trails lead to the bluffs and, therefore, spectacular views of the Missouri River. Joseph Deroin is said to be buried in this park, in the ghost town’s cemetery, and astride his horse! He was a rather controversial character, and he was killed while stubbornly trying to collect $6.00 from a settler for an assumed debt involving a pig. The settler, James Biddow, denied any wrongdoing and warned Joseph to stay off his land. When Joseph failed to heed this warning, he was shot and killed and buried. Another interesting anecdote involving a ‘resident’ of this ghost town’s cemetery tells of A.J. Ritter, who lost his arm during a dynamite blasting.

When Ritter died, at a later date, he certain nights, Ritter still rises from of the Missouri River, just south of was buried in this cemetery, but his his grave to search for his lost arm!

New agency aids mental health By Jack Evans

More awareness of mental health and addictions leads to more referrals for the newly-formed Addictions and Mental Health Agency, says CEO Garry Laws. Near the end of its first full year as a joint agency to deal with both problems, Laws reports, “All programs are running well however, with a solid line of waiting lists.” Laws has around 30 years of experience as a chef executive officer, most of them in the mental health field. And yes, he affirms, addictions and mental health are closely related areas and fit together well. An agency funded by the SELHIN, their office is located in the complex at the corner of Applewood and Dundas Street West, but for immediate assistance, anyone needing help can telephone 310 OPEN, a line that goes directly to Quinte Health Care, which also plays a key role with the new agency. “Even with waiting lists, if someone calls with an addictions problem, we try to give them immediate counselling,” he said. As CEO of the former Peer Support Mental Health program, “I was involved in the three years of studies and consultations that led up to forming this organization,” he said. He also reminded that waiting lists

for such services are common across Ontario with no unusual numbers in the Quinte area except the calls for services are increasing. With funding from the LHIN the agency has recently hired four new psychotherapists. There are other services that require funding, “we could use more,” he added. That brings the staff of the new Hastings and Prince Edward Addictions and Mental Health Agency up to “around 80,” he noted. It is one of three similar organizations in the southeast LHIN that will all be under one regional back office administration. A special challenge for the Quinte area is the huge rural and remote population, he said. There are also factors that tend to increase the local caseload, such as poor economy and job opportunities, substance abuse or despair. Suicide is a growing problem among young people and also those over 50, he reported. Again, such cases when they are referred or self-referred, are given priority status and immediate counselling. Their programs are working, he is confident. “We remove 20 cases off our list every month, but we get another 20,” he said. Mental health services have been available for decades, but the combining of Addictions and Mental Health is a recent development, “and it is a

perfect fit,” he said, “for the clients, for staff and for the community.” The grass roots development of the new agency has resulted in a new first-time contract in Ontario between a service provider like his agency and the local hospital. That contract is expected to be signed in the near future and take effect on April 1 of next year. Under it, the LHIN pays AMHS-HPE for the hospital services it provides, some 22 beds in the Belleville hospital complex, for instance. They are always full. But the agency has full control over how the funds are spent This results from, a long-standing partnership between the mental health services and the hospital for decades. Clients in all cases benefit from complete confidentiality. “I love my job and its challenges and I enjoy serving the community,” he concluded. For the hospital, Carol SmithRomeril, said almost a complete floor of the Sills wing (some 22 beds) is dedicated to mental health and addictions patients. The area requires extra security plus a specialized staff. It is an arrangement that works well and she expects it will continue to be so. She applauded the formation of the new agency, saying it was inspired by needs of people who needed help. “We listened to what they needed,” she added.””The consultations lasted several years.” She agreed that the loss of control over LHIN funding for

that specific aspect of hospital care will be an impact, but she suspects only a minor one. It will not affect staffing or programs at QHC. AS vice-president and chief nursing officer, she is a relatively new staffer

The Good Earth

It was a day Ray Bradbury would appreciate

welcome return of verdant swards after a far too long drought-induced dormancy. It was a day in which Gaia adorned herself in her finest raiment and invited us for a stroll. It was a day. This is the time that real gardeners step up. In spite of the challenging summer marked by the callus claims of compost piles, gardeners are always looking ahead with confidence and hope. Fall is the proper time for preparing for next year’s gardens and green swards. Dividing most perennials is a fall task as is planting bulbs. This is a perfect time for checking out garden centres, perhaps a bit too late to scour Well, Gentle Reader, we’re well the asphalt markets, for clearance into it. sales. This fall I focused on astilbes, There is no doubt that autumn ferns and composite flowers- mostly has arrived and the last of the summer wine has been enjoyed. This past Tuesday (at time of writing) was as perfect a fall day as one could for. In fact, I’m sure if that one particular day was put on a shelf and kept until the end of November, we would happily accept the chill in the rain, the bite in the wind as it switches to the north, and the starkness of our landscapes as winter’s onset strips them to the bones. It was a day only Ray Bradbury could perfectly express. He would tell you how the air tasted, how the blaze of the sugar maples outshone the sun: he would describe the soft caress of the last wisps of southern air, the

big, bright, yellow rudbeckias. If I hadn’t scooped up a host of sedum during the dog days of the drought I would likely have brought home a few of them as well. Some plants, such as ornamental grasses should be enjoyed as long as possible. You might want to consider tying them up to give their now brittle stems a bit of resistance against the wind. Once they are no longer pleasing to the eye, you can prune them back- always leaving a high stubble of 6” or more to catch crownprotecting snow With bulbs, I took a look at some of the smaller, daintier offerings like snow drops and Dutch iris, slipping them into little spaces and nooks that wouldn’t accept their larger cousins such as King Alfred type daffs. I’m

not quite ready to the naturalizing bit with the little chappies pock marking the lawns. Perhaps I’m a bit of a grass snob, thinking that meadows should be out in the wild with deer noshing on them However, I do know some folks- not mentioning Ben O’Brien’s name- who embrace this concept with abandon and create fantastically beautiful meadows. That is one of the wonder facets of gardening; there is room for as many different styles as there are gardeners. I’d like to insert a caveat in regards to bulbs (which includes corms, tubers, bare root lilies, etc.) When purchasing pay close attention to the quality of the bulbs, especially the prepackaged cones. I was very disappointed with the condition of many of the tulips especially which were

sold in such a “collection.” Far too many were soft and equally unacceptable number had mold on them. I was also startled after opening a bag clearly marked as having 12 bulbs and only seeing 6. What was most surprising was these bulbs were purchased at a very good garden centre and the supplying has an excellent reputation. Sadly, I am offering this advice to you because I neglected to do so and wish to save you the lesson. As I slowly, with creaking and protesting knees, stoop up after a morning of digging in those perennials and bulbs, I hopefully expressed the thought that most gardeners will have, “Won’t these look lovely in the spring?? And I said it with confidence. It was a day.

Bay of Quinte region named a StartUp community By Stephen Petrick

Belleville – The Bay of Quinte region is now known as a Start Up community; a prestigious designation that will allow local business leaders to promote the area as a business-friendly place and share resources with some of Canada’s most economically successful cities. Business leaders gathered at Belleville’s CHIRP (Canadian Hybrid Incubator Resource Platform) building on Tuesday, Oct. 11 to celebrate the designation, which was granted by StartUp Canada, a network launched in 2012 to foster entrepreneurship across the country. Bay of Quinte joins a list of 32 other Canadian cities that have been designated as “StartUp” communities by StartUp Canada. They include fellow Ontario cities of Kingston, Peterborough, Toronto and Waterloo, among others. Ryan Williams, the chair of the new group QuinteVation, said the designation will help draw entrepreneurs to the area to “start fantastic new companies. “StartUp Bay of Quinte will help us with programs and resources that connect entrepreneurs in the Bay of Quinte to others across Canada and will put this region on the map for entrepreneurs looking to make their

mark here,” he said. The designation will provide local business people with more opportunities to collaborate with businesses in other areas or give them access to new funding opportunities, Williams added. It also represents another positive step in efforts to build the “Bay of Quinte” brand, a point emphasized by Bay of Quinte MP Neil Ellis, who attended the celebration and, like Williams, wore a bright red “StartUp Bay of Quinte” t-shirt. Williams is the past president of Bay of Quinte Tourism, which represented a new effort by the municipalities that make up the Bay of Quinte area to join forces to promote the region for both business and tourism purposes. The new QuinteVation group has a similar ambition – to foster economic growth in the region – and to ensure the very words “Bay of Quinte” are recognized across Canada and draw the image of a successful community. “This area has so much to offer,” Ellis said. “It’s about community helping community.” At Tuesday’s celebration, Williams also introduced the crowd to Mary Doyle, the new executive director of QuinteVation. She said that the organization, which only formally launched in June, is starting to makes strides and

continues to hold business networking “We absolutely believe that building opportunities across Bay of Quinte a culture of entrepreneurship takes communities – she was preparing for consistent effort and wide participation one in Napanee later that day. over time,” she said. “Ultimately we

want to create a dynamic community where our children will have good paying jobs, a high quality of life and abundant opportunities.”

Medical officer of health wonders if it’s Flumist or flu miss? By Stephen Petrick

Belleville – A nasal spray flu vaccine product once recommended for children is now being downplayed in the medical community and Hastings-Prince Edward’s Medical Officer of Health says he’s not recommending it to families.

Dr. Richard Schabas spoke about the product called “Flumist” at the Hastings Prince Edward Public Health board meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 5. He clarified the product is called “Flumist” and not “flu-miss,” as some health professionals joke. That joke underscores new

flyers. coupons. deals. cash back.

beliefs that the product is not as effective as regular injection-based flu vaccines. The product has been used in the United States for more than a decade and interest in the product has grown because it’s intended to protect young children from the flu, without forcing them to take a painful needle. The product is promoted for children ages two to 17. Last year, the Public Health Agency of Canada recommended Flumist as the preferred flu vaccine product for children, Schabas said. But now a similar federal

agency in the United States, the U.S. Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, is saying the spray isn’t effective and the Canadian body has downgraded its endorsement of the product saying it’s not the “preferred” vaccine, but instead an equal to the injection-based vaccine. “Most of the information coming out has been negative results, which has tempered our enthusiasm for the vaccine,” said Schabas of Flumist. About 700 doses of the product was given to area children last year with help from the Hastings Prince Edward Health Unit, he said. This year, Schabas said, health unit clinics won’t distribute Flumist. However, the product is still available to family doctors and nurse practitioners who can distribute it, if they choose, to patients. However, Schabas said he

recently wrote a letter to distribute to local health care providers, informing them about the issue and letting them know his personal stance that children are better off receiving an injection-based flu vaccine. This year’s injection based flu vaccine is expected to be released soon to local family doctors, nurse practitioners and pharmacists. The health unit is expected to announce several flu shot clinics across the region in the coming weeks, too. Schabas never said that Flumist is harmful; he just said it’s not as effective as the regular vaccine “It’s certainly more convenient, but if it doesn’t work it defeats the purpose,” he told the board, adding that most healthy children are not at serious risk of complications from influenza. “If you’re going to do it, my advice is to use a vaccine that’s reliably effective.”

Regional conference Landowners continue to do will feature local food tour their bit to help improve quality of Bay of Quinte

Local food producers, processors and champions from across Eastern Ontario will be in the Quinte region this fall to attend the Eastern Ontario Local Food Conference. The conference will kick off with a tour of local food hotspots, including farms, factories, a winery and more. The Tuesday, Nov. 22 tour will visit Sprague Foods, Barn Owl Malt/Wild Card Brewing Co., Enright Cattle Company, Potter’s Settlement Winery and Donnandale Farms. Following the tour, conference attendees are invited to Town Place Suites for the Local Food Extravaganza tasting event. This evening event will showcase local foods and beverages from culinary regions across Eastern Ontario. The conference full agenda has been released and registration is open for the sixth annual conference hosted by the cities of Belleville and Quinte West, in partnership with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. This year’s

conference theme, “Mission: Resilience”, explores the impact of climate change on the local food system, and the opportunities and challenges it creates. On Nov. 23 the conference program kicks off at the Maranatha Church with keynote speaker Sarah Elton, a Torontobased journalist and best-selling author. Her keynote will address the increased recognition and importance of building resilience into our local food systems. Ideas and innovation around the theme of ‘Resilience’ will continue throughout the morning with words of wisdom and inspiration from ten local food trailblazers. Following a delicious local food lunch, the afternoon will include nine sessions in three streams: Sustainability, Infrastructure and Business Support. Sustainability sessions will offer scientific information about growing conditions in the region and the challenges and opportunities those conditions present; OMAFRA’s senior

economist explains how local food systems are being affected, and producers and food businesses share how they have prepared to meet future challenges. Infrastructure sessions will look at food hubs, hear from farmers who have used infrastructure innovations to adapt to climate change, and municipalities will learn how agriculture presents an economic development opportunity. The business support sessions will share how producers and food businesses plan and structure for resilience, how a region has shone a spotlight on local food producers in the retail environment, and costing and pricing your product for profit. The conference draws more than 200 participants each year from a broad range of sectors and counties in Eastern Ontario and beyond. Online registration, exhibitor information, and a full copy of the program agenda are available at eastontlocalfood.ca.

The amount of nutrients (phosphorus) entering the Bay of Quinte, from both urban and rural sources, has always been a problem as it promotes excess algae growth and impairs water quality. Private landowners play a vital role in restoring water quality in the Bay, through the preservation and restoration of shorelines and wetlands. In 2016, the Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan (BQRAP) provided funding to eleven landowners to implement environmental restoration projects. The projects included: 3 livestock fencings, 1 - alternate watering system, 3 - shoreline naturalizations and 6 - waterway plantings, for a total $38,000.00. “The projects were designed to reduce the amount of nutrients (phosphorus) entering the Bay of Quinte,” says Veronika Wright, BQRAP technician at Lower Trent Conservation. “Both livestock fencing and alternate watering systems benefit water quality by reducing stream bank erosion, thereby lowering sediment inputs and stopping bacterial and phosphorus contamination. Waterway planting and shoreline naturalization projects that add vegetation along a shoreline or wetland will provide habitat for fish and wildlife; as well as, act as filters for sediment and nutrient runoff (phosphorus) from

the adjacent land. The next round of funding for restoration projects will be the spring of 2017,” said Veronika Wright in a statement from BQRAP. The Healthy Soils Check-up Program provided 25 area farms with free soil testing to identify baseline nutrient levels, which will help farmers strategically use fertilizer and reduce phosphorus runoff. “As well, each farmer received field maps identifying key erosion sites helping them to adopt Best Management Practices (BMPs) aimed at keeping soil on the fields and out of local waterways. Fourteen area farms took advantage of the BQRAP grant for cover crops,” says Veronika. As the BQRAP gets closer to its goal of removing the Bay from the Areas of Concern list, maintaining reduced phosphorus levels will be critical for the long-term health of the Bay.

New buyer says co-op better ‘fit’ for Stirling Creamery By Terry McNamee

Stirling—Stirling Creamery, a fixture in the village since 1925, has been sold to Gay-Lea Foods, an Ontario dairy co-operative based in Mississauga. The sale will take effect on Nov. 1. The sale, which was announced Tuesday, Oct. 18, returns the creamery to Canadian ownership after 10 years as part of the Michigan-based Butterball Farms. It had been sold by the founding West family to Butterball in 2006. The creamery employs about 25 people in Stirling and is known for its range of natural and flavoured butters, flavoured medallions and spreads. Speaking from the company’s head office in Mississauga, Gay Lea president and CAO Michael Barrett said Gay Lea is a core butter business, and the acquisition of Stirling Creamery adds something new with its specialty products. “Stirling has that innovation,” Barrett said. “We’re not moving jobs out. We’re not closing the plant down.” Gay Lea, which is one of the largest butter producers in Canada, also acquired Prince Edward County’s Black River Cheese this past May

and owns Ivanhoe Cheese in Madoc. “What we have created is our dairy hub in that part of the country,” Barrett said. “We are a co-operative owned by farmers, so it’s a very nice fit.” He said there is a strong move amongst consumers towards natural products, and butter is becoming increasingly popular. “Today, there’s a renaissance of home baking and the return back to the natural goodness,” he said, adding that the market for butter is expected to continue this growth. “Stirling Creamery, like our cooperative, has a strong and rich history in the province of Ontario,” Gay Lea Foods chair Steve Dolson stated in a press release. “With this acquisition, we continue the tradition of

supporting family farms in Ontario while further strengthening Gay Lea Foods’ presence in the Canadian dairy industry.” Stirling Creamery was founded by the West family, who actually started in the cheese business. Cheesemaker Annie Elevier won the gold medal for her cheese at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893 and later taught her husband John West and their three sons the cheesemaking business. Their son, William, had cheesemaking operations in in Springbrook, Bonarlaw, and Stockdale. After marrying Elizabeth Tanner of Rawdon Township, he and his wife moved to Stirling, where William established the Stirling Creamery and began making butter. The original building was replaced with the current one in 1933.

William’s three sons worked at the creamery, and, in the 1980s, grandsons Bob and Dick West took over. Dick died in 2002, leaving Bob as the sole owner until he sold the business to Butterball four years later. Over its 90-year history, Stirling Creamery has continued its tradition of creating

all natural, barrel-churned butter one batch at a time. “We look forward to working with Gay Lea Foods as Stirling Creamery becomes part of this successful and growing Canadian co-operative,” stated Stirling Creamery CEO Mark Peters of Butterball Farms.
