The move was approved by Vandertoorn and Rowley along with Councillors Craig Kerr, John Martinello and Tom Rittwage while Councillor Mary Tadman was opposed. Mayor Mark Walas declared a conflict and excused himself from the discussion.

In his report, Bellchamber points out “council has limited options in response to a finding of a breach of its Code of Conduct.” According to the provincial Municipal Act, the

“I didn’t agree with the report so why would I support anything to do with it?” said Tadman, after the meeting, when asked why she voted against creating the subcommittee.

Most of the fireworks on the topic happened in question period when resident Mike Martell wondered if Tadman “had an opportunity to speak to the commissioner.”

the dogs are located within Brighton would be an aid in enforcing current animalcontrol bylaws.

Last month, Widdifield, municipal parks and recreation director Jim Millar and BOLDRA representative Ken McClintock met to discuss enlisting the group in a door-to-door campaign. In addition, days would be made available in the spring, including evenings and Saturdays, for tag sales in the municipal building lobby. As well, all an owner would need to become a BOLDRA member is a valid municipal dog tag.

But Mayor Mark Walas had some reservations. “I have to be honest,” he said. “I struggle with what I perceive as the municipality becoming a bank and lending money. I guess when the agreement comes back to council; there will be assurances on how it will be repaid.

“I don’t have an issue with the dog park. What I’m afraid of is it sets a precedent and other groups will start to come forward.”

“You’re not setting a precedent,” said Frost. “There are times when the municipality has entered into these agreements, so the precedent has already been set.

“This is a fantastic idea because it gives us some assurances. To me, this is much better than just giving them a loan and saying, ‘we hope you’ll pay it back.’ This is a guarantee that every dog tag they sell will go toward the loan payment.”

News – Brighton – At their regular meeting on Monday night, municipal council approved an agreement with the Brighton Off-Leash Dog Recreation Association (BOLDRA) for the sale of dog tags.

The canine organization is looking at setting up a dog park on County Road 64 just east of the water pollution control plant and plans include a loan from the municipality to cover the start up costs.

A revenue split from the sale of the tags would give BOLDRA 40 per cent of the proceeds, which, in turn, would go toward paying back the loan.

“We’re losing out on a lot of revenue,” municipal finance director Linda Widdifield told council. “In 2013, dog tag revenue was just over $14,000 and we used to collect somewhere in the neighbourhood of $17,000.

“Several years ago, there was a program in place within the municipality where a service club sold dog tags on behalf of the municipality and was awarded a portion of the revenue for their efforts. The group would go door-to-door and was successful in identifying households with dogs.”

“We are sure there are many unlicensed dogs,” added Chief Administrative Officer Gayle Frost. “And this creates an opportunity to get a much better log of dogs in the municipality.”

News – Brighton – It was the annual war of words last weekend at the Royal Canadian Legion public speaking contest, held at Brighton branch 100.

According to the rules, all of the speeches were on any topic selected by the participant and, depending on the division, between three to seven minutes long.

Eighteen contestants representing four age categories – primary (Grades one to three); junior (Grades four to six); intermediate (Grades seven to nine); and senior (Grades 10-12) – entered to vie for branch level honours, the first rung in the provincial competition. The winner in each class advances to the zone level, to be held at Colborne on March 29, and according to the judges, the best in each division are: (primary) Vanessa Taylor; (junior) Aidan Hussey; (intermediate) William Grinton; and (senior) Judith Murtha-Anderson.

From there, it’s on to the district and then the provincial level, which will be held on May 3 at Ottawa. Notably, more than 11,500 students participated in the contest last year and local orator Aidan Hussey put his best voice forward at the

The investigation was delayed until June 2013 to allow time for a formal employment contract to be negotiated between the municipality and Frost. Interviews were scheduled in July and Bellchamber contends replies were received from everyone but Tadman.

A series of emails obtained by the Independent indicates Tadman had plenty of opportunity to meet with the commissioner. Every council member as well as Chief Administrative Officer Gayle Frost and Deputy Clerk Vicki Kimmett were copied on the exchange.

It started on December 23, when Kimmett polled council members in an effort to set a date in January for the delivery ' of the report. !"#"$%& '()*& ()++","-.& /+0,& #","'1,2& 34& !03"& 5,%/#),6"& #"6",*748& 5& 90/,-& 34%"79& :"1,2& )%;"-& +071*"74& 19& 5& 6),& On December 31, Tadman wrote back, wondering why she 6(),2"& 34& 017& 9/#,)6"& *0& 2)%<& 5& ;,0'& 5& )3& ,0*& )70,"<& =08& -01,2& )& 71**7"& #"%")#6(8& 5& 90/,-& 0/*& *()*& *("#"& )#"& 3),4& didn’t have a chance to speak to Bellchamber.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Fair Elections Act isn’t fair at all

Dear Editor Daryl Kramp’s comments in the press last week in support of the (Un) Fair Elections Act were typical Conservative propaganda. Equally disappointing was that he voted (along with the entire Conservative caucus) against the Opposition’s call for cross-Canada Committee Meetings to discuss the Fair Elections Act. Think about that! Rather than being able to tell Parliamentarians in their own communities the concerns they might have about this Act, Canadians were told they could

of his original mandate. If they truly wanted a fairer electoral process they would give the Chief Electoral officer more power and more importantly more resources to perform his task.

The problems in the Act are not with the mandate of the Chief Electoral officer, but with the lack of resources for him to properly investigate the wrongdoings perpetuated on an unsuspecting electorate. But Harper’s Conservatives do not wish to fix the real problems with the Act. They would rather fix the problem with the Chief Electoral Officer investigating their misdeeds.

This is a common thread with the Harper Government: if they don’t like someone looking too closely or disagreeing with their view, then attack, bully, manipulate, obfuscate, circumvent and ultimately change the laws to better suit their purposes.

We cannot allow this to continue! Not only are our democratic institutions being undermined, the future of our country is being unnecessarily

drive to Ottawa or Skype in if they wanted to provide feedback to one of the most important rights of citizenship: the right to vote in fair elections.

There is much that is not fair about the Fair Elections Act. It is a blatant attempt by the Harper Government to once again undermine our democracy. Changes to the act that minimize the vote in a sector of the population least likely to vote Conservative is deplorable. Once again, Harper is showing his true colours: Harper’s Government is only interested in their base, plus the 10% of the populace that they have microtargeted to most likely vote Conservative. Forget the rest of the electorate; forget about the rest of Canadians. They would prefer the rest of us just to stay home.

What is even more disconcerting is the Harper Government goal of minimizing another thorn in their side, by minimizing the ability of the Chief Electoral Officer to perform the duties

DELIVERY

Dear Editor, Are your readers aware of the fact, when completing their 2013 income tax, if they check off the box to receive the OTB (Ontario Trillium Benefits) in a lump sum they will not receive a cheque until June 2015? This was confirmed by Finance Minister Sousa’s letter to me on August 26, 2013.

Sincerely, C. J. Peckford, Marmora

jeopardised just to appease their desire to rule.

We need to once again strengthen our democratic institutions. More importantly, we need to start to find common ground. We have to get past the polarization, the “us against them” mentality.

We must include not just more voters, but more voices in the laying out a vision for our country – a vision where we find common ground and work together for a better Canada, a Canada that will once again lead the world in doing what is right because it is the right thing to do! We can no longer run our country in a manner that suits the interests of a party. That path leads to ruin for all Canadians. Canadians deserve better and should demand better.

OPINION

Connected to your community

A premature history of the second Cold War Editorial – The first mistake of the Ukrainian revolutionaries was to abandon the agreement of February 23 to create a national unity government, including some of the revolutionary leaders, that would administer the country until new elections in December. It would have left President Viktor Yanukovych in office until then, but with severely diminished powers, as the constitution would have been changed to restore the Gwynne Dyer authority of parliament.

Leaving a man who ordered the murder of dozens of protesters in power even temporarily was a bitter pill to swallow, but it had tacit Russian support because it saved President Vladimir Putin’s face. However, the crowds on Independence Square refused to accept the deal, and Yanukovych was forced to flee.

Parliament subsequently ratified his removal, but it was the mob, and especially the right-wing fighting groups like Praviy Sektor, who led, and the leadership who followed. Putin was humiliated, and he was given the pretext for claiming that Ukraine had fallen to a “fascist coup” as a justification, however flimsy, for rejecting the legitimacy of the new Ukrainian government.

The second grave error – and this one was entirely unforced – was the new government’s decision to repeal the law giving Russian equal status as an official language in provinces with large Russian-speaking populations. It delighted Ukrainianspeaking ultra-nationalists in the west of the country, but it needlessly alienated the two-fifths of Ukraine’s population who speak Russian as their first language.

So now Putin is bringing pressure on the new Ukrainian government by backing a secessionist movement in Crimea (where three-fifths of the people speak Russian). The rubberstamp Russian parliament has also granted him authority to use Russian troops elsewhere in Ukraine to “protect” Russians – by which it seems to mean Ukrainians in eastern Ukraine who speak Russian, although they are not actually under attack.

Putin has not yet sent Russian troops into the eastern parts of Ukraine. However, pro-Russian crowds have appeared in cities like Kharkov, Donetsk and Lugansk demanding Russian “protection” amid plausible reports that many people in those crowds are actually Russians imported from just across

the border for the occasion, and not Russian-speaking Ukrainians at all. The promised Ukrainian election on May 25 may never happen.

The Ukrainian army has been mobilised, and actual fighting could be only days away if the Russians invade eastern Ukraine, or attack the encircled Ukrainian garrisons in Crimea. Maybe Putin is just bluffing; more likely, he doesn’t yet know himself how far he is willing to go. But one thing generally leads to another, and some bluffs are hard to walk away from. Are we on the brink of a new Cold War? It wouldn’t be a hot war, except in Ukraine. Nobody will send troops to defend Ukraine, nor should they. Nobody is in position to stop Russia from conquering Ukraine if it chooses to, and turning it into a wider European war (or a world war) would not help matters.

In any case, Moscow would probably not try to conquer all of Ukraine. Kyiv and the west would fight very hard, and after they were defeated they would continue to resist a Russian occupation with guerilla tactics, including terrorism. Putin doesn’t need that, so part of Ukraine would remain free, and call for outside help.

It would come, in the form of financial and military aid, and maybe even what has hitherto been rigorously excluded from the discussion: NATO membership. And there Russia and everybody in NATO would sit for the next five or ten or twenty years in a frozen confrontation that would include a trade embargo, an arms race, and a remote but real possibility of a nuclear war.

This is not at all what Putin intends or expects, of course.

He is calculating that once he controls the Russian-speaking parts of Ukraine, he will be able to enforce a restructuring of the country as a federation in which the government of the eastern, Russian-speaking part will be permanently under Russia’s thumb, and will have a veto on the decisions of the central government.

But Putin’s calculations about Ukraine have been wrong every single time since the turn of the century. He backed Yanukovych before 2004, and the Orange Revolution proved him wrong. He backed Yanukovych even more enthusiastically after 2010; the policy blew up in his face again. And here he is yet again, backing Yanukovych as the president-inexile of his Russia-friendly fantasy version of Ukraine.

His calculations are wrong. If he continues down this road, he will cause a quite needless political disaster.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Informed voters have the power to make change Dear Editor I feel compelled to write this letter because of the things I have read or heard in the news.

We all know that Wynne will have to call an election sooner or later. Hopefully sooner before we are even further down the toilet than we are now. Hence the time is now to start following what this collection of clowns we call politicians are saying. Irregardless of the “fact” that we all know we can’t trust a politician’s promises, especially at election time, you can still glean some insights into the way they think. (scary as that may be.) Also look at their past performance and voting record on different bills and such. How many times has a politician said one thing and then voted the opposite. We all know these self-serving liars will promise what you want to hear until they get elected and then it’s so sorry, no can do.

If you vote without knowing the issues you are just as bad and useless as the ones who don’t vote. If you vote for a person or party just because your parents did you are part of the problem and not too smart either. If you think jokers care

about you give your head a shake, they don’t unless it’s good for their career.

People, if you are literate at all you “know” that politicians always look after themselves first. Sure, once in a while they throw us a bone, but only after all their buddies and loud mouth special interest nuts have picked it pretty clean. Politicians know that special interest groups get some voters out so they will entertain their ideas no matter how zany or unrealistic their demands.

We do have the power to change things. Informed voting is one of those powers. Remember we hire politicians by voting and we pay them through taxes. So contrary to popular belief and the way politicians think, they are our employees. It is time to start making these egotistical and self-serving bunch of clowns toe the line and start doing what the majority of us know is right. After all that’s what democracy is all about.

Memories of 2008 come flooding back

By Stephen Petrick Editorial – I’m not an expert on weather, but I subscribe to the theory that every few years Mother Nature gives you an abominable winter. This seems to be one of those. The image of tall snow banks and the chill of -20C March weather is taking me back to 2008, the last time we got a mega wallop of snow that lasted into spring.

The snow that year eventually turned to water and the Moira River in Belleville overflowed, leading to stories of sorrow, laughter and even some heroics. I’ll never forget it because it was part of my first full year living in our region of river-based communities and one of my more interesting experiences as a young journalist.

I had moved from my native town of Kingston to Belleville just months earlier to work for a daily newspaper. The loneliness of such a move wasn’t helped by the bone-chilling cold and relentless amount of snow.

The biggest blizzard, I recall, was the last one. It lasted two full days of March Break and once snow ploughs got on the roads, the snow banks seemed about ten feet high. I remember it took me hours to shovel off just a single parking space at my apartment.

The sight of large snow banks in broad daylight at 7 p.m. was a memorable experience, too, since daylight savings time had just moved to mid-March. It was hard for me to believe that opening day of the Major League Baseball season – my own personal benchmark for the official start of spring – was only two weeks away.

But the snow eventually melted and it did so fast. By late March the Moira River along Belleville flowed like a white-water rafting course and roared with the wind. The flood plains in around Foxboro, just north of the city, began to fill up. Water started creeping eerily towards people’s houses.

I walked into the newsroom one Monday morning in April and was assigned immediately to head to the Ashley Street and Harmony Road area in Foxboro, where the floods, I was told, were causing serious damage.

I rushed out expecting to see heartbreak and devastation. I ended up seeing people, well, smiling, and having a good time.

I’m not trying to trivialize the situation. Some people may have lost property or saw their basements ruined during the event, which couldn’t have been fun. But these floods may have, in the end, caused more good than harm.

I saw neighbours helping neighbours by lining sandbags along the homes, with the help of firefighters and friends. I looked hard for the story that would really hit home; the story on the homeowners who lost everything. In the end, the most emotional people I could find were the mother and son who were just tickled pink that a TV guy from Toronto interviewed them for Global News.

I learned that of all the natural disasters one can be exposed to, a flood – at least a flood of this proportion – is probably one of the more gentle kinds. Sure, it was a little scary but it was better than a hurricane, a major earthquake or a volcano spilling lava.

In time the water receded and the stories about the logistics of sandbag deliveries turned to stories focussing on the heroes; the firefighters who rushed to the scenes to help out and the tireless volunteers. Life returned to normal in the area north of Belleville and I suspect it has pretty much stayed that way since.

But with another late spring upon us, and a healthy supply of midMarch snow, who would bet against another sudden thaw and floods along the Moira, the Trent River or any other local waterway?

Get your sandbags ready.

It could be the time of your life.

“We had to buy herbs this year. Not enough light.”

Laura McRae and Derek Paauw from Granite Forest Farm in L’Amable offered honey, beeswax candles, maple and birch syrup as well as their own homemade organic products.

“Birch takes longer to tap than maple,” Laura said. “It takes 80 litres of birch sap to make one litre of syrup, compared to 40 for maple.”

“The heart of the Seedy Saturday Quinte is our seed exchange table,” said chair Colleen O’Reilly. “This event encourages the exchange of locally grown and collected, open-pollinated seeds.”

The inaugural event was very well attended, with people stopping by the various booths and attending workshops on Seeds of Diversity by Judy Newman and Native and Rare Plants by Peter Fuller.

“We’re doing well,” O’Reilly said with a smile. “We will have another one next spring. People are getting excited about gardening this time of year.”

Ross Neilsen performs at Trent Port Theatre formance on Monday night from blues shows and has travelled more than half Entertainment – Quinte West – The rock musician Ross Neilsen from the east a million kilometers, from coast to coast, Trent Port Theatre had a fantastic per- coast. Neilsen has performed over 1,000 over the past six years.

Opening the show was local musician Jordan Thomas. “He’s a local favourite,” said Pat Clark, who organized the event.

Neilsen was nominated for Best New Artist at The Maple Blues Awards in 2010 and earned two Rising Star nominations from CBC. He also earned back-to-back Blues Album of the Year nominations

By Kate Everson

from the East Coast Music Association.

His album, Redemption, won Best Blues Recording at the 2013 MusicNB awards.

He was also a semi finalist in the solo/ duo category at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis in 2012. More recently he received five nominations from Music New Brunswick, including Album of the Year, best group and best rock recording for Resurrection as well as Best Male Solo recording for The Shack Up

Sessions and a win for best blues recording.

After the demise of The Sufferin’ Bastards in December 2011, Ross Neilsen spent much of last year rebuilding his musical foundation with a new trio, the Ross Neilsen Band. The old school, inyour-face guitar playing, coupled with a thunderous, tight rhythm, has been Neilsen’s trademark for years. He blurs the lines between pop, blues and rock.

Winter can be worrisome.

Treacherous winter roads can make it difficult to visit your aging parents. A move to Seasons means a vibrant, carefree retirement for them and peace of mind for you.

Backstage crew brings ‘The Sound of Music’ to life

By Ray Yurkowski

Entertainment – Brighton – It takes lots of volunteers to keep the tradition alive for high-quality musical shows at East Northumberland Secondary School (ENSS).

“If we did not have the support of our outside community members it would be very hard to pull these productions off at all,” said show producer Phillip Kinzinger. “The time they spend in and outside of the school is just invaluable to us.”

Two of those volunteers are retired ENSS teachers Sue and Jim Moore.

As part of the carpentry crew, along with master carpenter Dale Heffernan, Jim is busy with two projects, one on and one off stage. On stage, a huge, twostorey-high set is being built to recreate the Von Trapp mansion. Off stage is a series of six risers in six-inch increments to enhance the audience experience from the back of the hall.

“The sightlines are poor in a flat gym and I’m sure they’ll appreciate having a better view,” he explained.

A combination of 528 four-inch bolts; 132 six-inch bolts; and 990 screws will hold it all together.

“It’s quite the project,” he said. “And between the two, we’re busy.”

As well as helping out on the carpentry, Jim has also served as the lighting director for many shows over the years.

“New lighting is going in and we’ll have a brand-new lighting board for this show,” he says.

Down the hall, his wife Sue has been a part of the backstage crew since 1989. Now in the role of costume designer and head seamstress, she and school secretary Cathy Herrington work together to create the look of every character on stage.

“It’s a busy job,” says Sue. The size of ‘The Sound of Music’ cast makes it a big enough challenge but some actors are playing up to three totally different roles. The goal is to make Please see “Backstage” on page 11

FOCUS

Part of the excitement of visiting a farm is seeing and petting the ANIMALS. Although many animals may be docile and domesticated, they can still be unpredictable. Animals that are startled by yelling or loud noises also may become restless and dangerous.

Children should understand that animals may unintentionally cause injuries.

It may be in a horse’s defense mechanism to kick when it is scared. To avoid such injuries, never approach animals from behind. Also, when baby animals are present, a female may be protective of her brood and go on the defensive.

Another inadvertent injury that may occur is from bacteria or viruses from the animals. Animal feces may contain bacteria, and there may be other microorganisms on the animals themselves. It is a smart idea to always wash your hands after handling a farm animal to prevent the spread of disease.

Here are some other precautions that can be taken when visiting a farm.

• Don’t allow children to wander around unsupervised.

• Rides on farm equipment should be discouraged.

• Before starting machinery, operators should locate children and other guests and clear them from the work area.

• Don’t allow children near machinery.

• Children under the age of 16 should not be allowed to operate any farm vehicles.

• Watch for hand tools or other equipment, and keep children away from them.

• Do not touch animals unless a farm worker allows it. Then follow his or her instructions.

• Don’t provoke farm animals or attempt to startle them.

• Supervise children around ponds, feeding troughs or manure lagoons.

It only takes a few inches of water to pose a drowning risk.

Farms are interesting places to visit, especially for children. Safety should always be a priority when visiting a farm.

the audience believe those characters aren’t being portrayed by the same person.

“It means a number of costume changes and adjustments to make it a success,” said Sue. “In the past, we’ve had changes for maybe three or four lead actors. This time around they are numerous and it’s a challenge.”

The former ‘Family Studies’ teacher says sewing is a passion and it “fits very nicely” into her backstage role and allows her to stay involved with the kids.

For her, the job begins in September with “a ton of research.”

“I get familiar with the cast, I look at movies and stage productions and the costuming that’s out there,” she explains.

It starts with an inventory of what’s on hand from previous productions and what may work and what might be modified to fit their needs.

“If that doesn’t work, I go to Value Village to see what I can scrounge from there,” she said. “Then I go to Fabricland to buy reams of fabric and start sewing.”

Sue also credits Westben Arts Festival Theatre with their help in providing some of the costumes for the ENSS production.

“But, in the end, it comes down to what I have in mind,” she said. “As a costume designer, you have an image of how you want it to come together on stage.”

And given how some scene changes are very rapid this time around, some of those images had to be reworked.

“They weren’t going to work,” she said. “There wasn’t time to get out of one costume and into another, so I had to rethink what I wanted to do.”

Backstage during The Sound of Music, “there won’t be any free time at all because there are so many people who need quick changes,” she said, recalling times at other shows when “somebody goes through a door, drops an item of clothing, puts on another one and they’re back out within 15 seconds.”

This time out, “there is one scene in particular where that will have to happen. The whole Von Trapp family will have to undergo a very rapid change, and you’re dealing with seven children.”

It is fun though.

“I like to do the design and creativity and it’s fun when

Seeds of Diversity helps threatened species survive

News - Quinte West - Judy Newman, guest speaker at the Seedy Saturday at Murray Centennial School on March 1, has a vital message.

“We need to protect food diversity,” she said.

Food diversity is under threat, but groups of avid gardeners and farmers across the country are taking the threat seriously.

“Diversity makes living things adaptable,” Newman said. “It allows species to withstand threats like disease.”

She said the Irish potato famine is a prime example. They grew only one type of potato and when the disease spread it took out the whole species on the island causing widespread famine and death.

Seeds of Diversity Canada is encouraging organic seed production.

It is a national charitable organization dedicated to conservation, education and use of Canada’s food diversity, in partnership with community groups, farm and garden associations.

“It has been going for 30 years,” Newman said. “We have volunteers across the country.”

She said it all started with Heather Apple who was an avid gardener. There were not a lot of seed companies then, but there are over 100 now. A book, How to Save Your Own Seeds, is now in its sixth edition. The book available online at <www.seeds.ca> offers cutting edge research and techniques including detailed step-by-step instructions for seed storing and saving.

“It has clear explanations of botany concepts,” she adds.

Newman said one success story is found in the rescue of the Arikara bean.

It was grown in Saskatchewan by the natives in the 1800s and was almost extinct. Fortunately, it was saved and is now available.

“One of our members got it,” Newman said. “She grew it and found it was excellent, really good for drought conditions and produced mass quantities. Now it is registered with the government.”

Newman added there are some “sad stories” about plant species that have disappeared.

She encourages people to sign up as

heritage gardens, such as the one in Kingston with plants from the time of John A. Macdonald.

Newman also mentioned Pollination Canada projects, which identifies pollinators in the garden.

Some success stories include Heirloom Melons, the Montreal Melon now saved and the Clemenhaga Tomato.

A “big buzz” has also been about saving wheat such as the Marquis and Red Fife to protect Canada’s heritage.

Newman said three quarters of seed diversity had died out in the 20th century.

Seed companies were only selling ten per cent of the remaining varieties. Today the seed library fills the gap.

She personally goes through the seed catalogues with over 4,800 varieties and finds out what is truly rare.

“We find a little orphan and preserve it,” she said.

People are encouraged to donate to the organization and adopt a variety of seed for $250. That $50 puts the variety into the seed catalogue and $200 is invested in researching more dying species.

The organization also put out a book, How to Save Your Own Seeds, with the best new cutting edge techniques. Every Seed Tells a Tale is another book about real seed heritage stories. All of these are available at www.seeds.ca.

members for $25 a year for online seed directories or $40 for printed versions of the Seeds of Diversity magazine printed four times a year.

People can find seeds they like to buy and contact the person in the directory.

Newman notes there are demonstration gardens made from heritage seeds at Everdale in Hillsborough, Ontario. The seed programs at <www.everdale.org> include on-farm research of grains and vegetables, seed workshops and webinars, as well as seed internships. Aabir Dey is the regional program co-ordinator for the Bauta Family Initiative on Canadian Seed Security for Ontario and can be reached at aabir.dey@everdale.org for information. Dey was also at the Seedy Saturday event talking to people about the work they do, including www. seedmap.org where people can visit hundreds of places around the world where agricultural biodiversity originated, is threatened, and where people are working to safeguard it.

“We provide support for the farmers,” Dey said.

Newman noted Seeds of Diversity helps organize 110 Seedy Saturdays a year across the country supporting new organic seed producers and spreading the information.

She said the Eastern Canada Organic Seed Network works with nurseries to establish

By Sue Dickens

News – Warkworth – Eight students from Percy Centennial Public School competed in the Warkworth Legion, Branch 380, public speaking competition.

Judged on voice quality, dramatics, pronunciation and correct use of grammar, there were two students in the Primary category (Grades 1 to 3) and six students in the Junior category (Grades 4 to 6).

Topics ranged from a very animated presentation on wakeboarding to “my poppa the firefighter,” to the history of Coca Cola to a story of family life and more.

“This competition is meant to give young people an opportunity to speak in public and I don’t doubt among them are future politicians, leaders of organizations who will remember this as the beginning of their illustrious career,” said Dennis Delziel of the Warkworth Legion, who emceed the event.

Taylor Walsh, Grade 3 at Percy school, won first place at the Primary level.

“My poppa is a firefighter and that was easy to talk about. It took a while to write my speech but then I started practising. It was hard to remember it all because there was a lot,” she told the Trent

Hills Independent, after receiving her certificate.

“But it wasn’t difficult although I was a little nervous when I started. It was easy once I got going,” she added with a smile.

Stephan Dodgson, (who spoke about wakeboarding and used props) is in Grade 5 at Percy school, and he won first place at the Junior level.

When asked if he was nervous he replied, “Well it wasn’t more here, it was the practice that was the hard part.”

Both first place winners will go on to the Zone F2 level competition to be held later in March.

Second place at the Primary level was won by Kyra McReelis-Fox. Second place at the Junior level was won

by Lily Morin and third place went to Nathan Trotter.

Judges for the competition were Gary Hoag, Nicole McMurray and Brenda Partridge.

As well timekeepers and scrutineers were on hand for the event.

Youth education chair Karen Delziel organized the competition.

The Zone F2 public speaking competition will take place March 29 at 1 p.m. at the Colborne Legion, Branch 187.

Senator talks to Liberals about Women in Politics

By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - Newly independent Senator Mobina Jaffer, a strong advocate for equal rights for women and minorities and chair of the Senate Standing Committee on Human Rights, was the guest speaker at the third annual Heritage Dinner for the Bay of Quinte

Federal Liberal Association held at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Trenton on February 26.

An accomplished lawyer who speaks six languages, she was also Canada’s special envoy for peace in Sudan from 2002 to 2006, and is Canada’s first Muslim senator, first African-born

senator, and the first senator of South Asian descent.

“Am I a Liberal?” she asked, referring to party leader Justin Trudeau’s designating all Liberal Senators as Independents. “I am still a Liberal,” she said at the group of Liberal supporters.

“What Justin did was a good thing. It

was very brave.”

She admitted she is not young and it took a while to adjust in her mind, but she said they will come out stronger.

“He did a service,” she said. “I adore Justin.”

She noted her family were refugees in Uganda before they were allowed to

come to Canada.

“His father saved my life,” she said.

Jaffer said she often goes back to Uganda to visit, but will never again take for granted the freedom she has here. She has been in Canada for 37 years. She urges young people to get involved in politics and not to take their rights for granted.

Jaffer said having more women in politics can make a difference not just on women’s issues but on whole communities. “They have a different perspective,” she said. “We need both men and women to strengthen our country.”

She said she does not like the Olympics. She has seen how women are abused around the world and wants to change that. In Germany, where prostitution is legal, during the Olympics she saw warehouses set up for 100,000 men to be serviced by women. Through the work of KAIROS, a charitable organization whose funding was cut by the Conservative government, they were able to reduce this to 40,000.

“We need to stop sex trafficking,” she stated.

She noted that Canada stopped women coming from overseas as prostitutes but has seen young aboriginal girls doing that job on the streets to entertain men for the Olympics. “I have seen ten-, eleven- and twelve-year-olds walking the streets,” she said. “It broke my heart.”

Foxie Foxie is a gorgeous dark tortoiseshell. She is a loving friendly cat.

Foxie has quite a story for a young lady.

She was abandoned at a feral colony when she was less than one year old. When the colony caretaker passed away, Cat Care Spay Neuter Initiative (CCSNI) was asked to trap, neuter and relocate this colony (not something we recommend or do often). We found a responsible feral colony caretaker who agreed to give six cats a new home after they were neutered. Foxie was living outside with the feral colony until she recently decided to move inside at her foster home.

She is very affectionate and sweet. Foxie would really love to have a forever home where she can always be inside with her human family. Like all of our other rescued cats she needs a “forever”home.

Many of the feral cat stories would make you sad but it is the goal of CCSNI to trap, spay

and neuter (TNR) as many feral cats as we can and turn their lives around for those who can be socialized and find them a good home. The feral cats are often returned to their colony where they will live out their lives without having any more kittens or contributing to the overpopulation of unwanted cats.

We have an adoption process and ask a fee of $125 for kittens and $100 for cats, which helps cover the costs of spay and neutering and vaccinations. It is only a fraction of the cost so that is why we ask for donations too and do fundraising on a regular basis. This month our adoption fees are reduced to $75.00 for kittens and $50.00 for cats.

We are all volunteers who care about feral, free roaming, homeless and abandoned cats.

For more information call Suzanne at 705559-1899 or Donna at 905-355-5164 I don’t always have everyone on the website so call to see if we have the perfect kitten or cat for you. Our website is www.catcarespayneuter.com Thanks for supporting CCSNI

In Calcutta she has seen what Canadians can do to stop sex traffic through the International Justice Missions of Canada. It protects the girl, puts money into the justice system, takes care of the girls for up to six or seven years and helps transform society. Investigators go in and get the girls out. Prosecutors send the criminals to jail.

“Imagine if we did this as a government, what a difference it would make,” she said. “The world would begin to get it—we cannot treat women as commodities.”

In Calcutta, Jaffer was shocked to see girls and women of all ages on the streets. “One young Nepali girl stared at me,” she said. “It was a look of absolute betrayal.”

Jaffer said we could stop this if we put our resources in to put traffickers in jail which would send a message that every girl is important.

Peyton Helm, 16 months, rode up high on daddy Jake’s arm while he balanced an extra large coffee in the other.

“We’re goin’ fishin’,” he said with a grin.

The Kids Corner with Susan Eastbury of the Picton Kinettes had painting and colouring for the kids. Her husband is a Trenton Kinsman.

Cameron, six, and Jordyn, seven, Newbery, were ecstatic at finding all the flashy fishing lures in the show. Bonnie had to make sure they only got a few to bring home.

Steven Tedford from north of Brighton was a first-time vendor at the Kinsmen show. He said he had a call from a friend letting him know about it. He makes handmade fishing and hunting knives of African ebony or South American Cocobolo Rosewood.

“I’m a bladesman,” he explained.

“I’m here to show off.”

Tedford has been making the knives for 20 years, the last ten years full-time.

It takes him four to 12 hours to craft one knife.

Larry Cyr of Crazy Creek Fishing Preserve had a stuffed trout to show off along with information on how to catch a live one at his trout farm on Glen Ross Road. He said students come out to help on the property, and

all ages enjoy the fishing including some from the retirement homes. He said there is no guarantee you’ll catch a trout “but there’s a real good chance.”

The Trenton Kinsmen Club members were also selling raffle tickets for a barbecue which includes a setup for ten people at your place. They provide the food but you have

to provide the beverages. The $2 tickets will also be on sale at the Kiwanis fishing tournament on May 3 and the draw is on Canada Day. Kiwanian Ryan Gibbs was there with information on the Kiwanis Walleye World coming up soon. He was selling tickets and proudly wearing the 2014 fishing hats already in stock. Spring is coming!

care. Too few are adopted out, because parents are given â&#x20AC;&#x153;second chancesâ&#x20AC;?.

And by the time the kids are taken away for good, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so scarred that adopting them is difficult. Why do parents get second chances while kids donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even get first chances?

We will never have a healthy society until people bear the consequences of their actions. We are fostering too much irresponsibility, and not enough maturity and independence. And it scares me.

And so there is still much to say, and much work to do. I will just be doing it a different way. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in the middle of writing a book for Simon & Schuster called 11 Thoughts That Will Change Your Marriage. My blog, To Love, Honor and Vacuum (tolovehonorandvacuum.com), had 600,000 visits last month, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing all the time. I share my parenting and marriage thoughts there, and I do hope you will join me.

Most of all, though, I hope that over the last eleven and a half years I have written something that has made you love your family more, smile at strangers more, or consider faith again. If I have done that, then I will be happy indeed.

that I find deadlines a little more intimidating than I did when the biggest thing on my plate was finishing a Science lesson with my daughters.

I type this with a heavy heart, because I have so enjoyed having this outlet for my thoughts. Whenever I felt ticked about something, I would always think, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can write a column about that!â&#x20AC;? And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d start planning it--while driving, while in the shower, while making dinner. It was wonderful to know that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be able to put my thoughts down on paper.

Being a local columnist was such a treat, too. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to the grocery store, or take my kids to swimming, or walk into church without someone mentioning last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column. People read what I wrote, and for that I am very humbled and very grateful.

I still have issues which I wish I could have explored more, or at least lended a little more eloquence. I am dreadfully worried about the institution of marriage, because I do think that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the bedrock of healthy children, healthy families, and a healthy society.

I am constantly frustrated by our entitlement culture, and by the way the government bends over backwards for those who have messed up, while leaving those who have done nothing wrong flailing. And I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of a better example of governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s failing than with the foster care system. We give biological parents chance after chance, letting them collect welfare money, methadone treatments, and many other government programs, while their kids languish in

Keep yourself busy doing the stuff you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to do in April. Make sure all of your tools are up to snuff.

Make sure you have a plan of action with all the resources squared away. Now is the time to prune out damaged limbs while the piles of snow raise you up a bit higher. Now is the perfect time to head off to the library or bookstore

One daughter has left home; one is learning to drive. I have two book contracts due this year. And perimenopause is causing my hemoglobin levels to plummet faster than Rob Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation. Call me unimpressed.

When I started writing this column my children were five and seven. We were just beginning our homeschooling journey. Today instead of my days being consumed with teaching math and reading great books out loud, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m writing blog posts and planning speaking tours and trying to find time to write more books.

And so it is that after eleven and a half years, and six hundred columns, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve decided to concentrate on other things. My blog is taking so much of my attention

Oddly enough, for us home gardeners; this extra snow wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make that much of a difference other than to heighten our appreciation when we do see the first patches of bare soil emerging into the sunlight. For those who start their seeds indoors, especially the cool loving plants such as lettuce, kale, beets and so on, you should be set up and ready to go. These plants can be sown indoors between four to six weeks before last frost. Some of them, e.g. lettuce and snow peas, can be sown directly outdoors as soon as a bit of workable soil is available even if it is only a few square feet.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to take a moment to apologize to all of the folks who have received an email invitation to join a labour-based social media group. It certainly was not my intent for the bots in this program to glom onto every email address in my computer. For the inconvenience this has caused you, I am sorry. For the gracious manner in which the refusals are written, thank you.

Reality Check:

cabin fever?

I did come across a guideline for determining how long it will take for a snowpack to melt. The figures read somewhere between .070-.150 inches per day per degree Fahrenheit.  (3.8mm per day at 1degC)  Since my snow piles are some eleventy-eleven feet high I reckon it will take about 641 days, give or take a few hours, before I need to sharpen the blades on my lawnmower.  Admittedly thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the doom and gloom version of what would happen if March temps never went above one degree celsius. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the good news: nice warm days of fourty-one degrees farenheit will have snow melting away at 6â&#x20AC;? per day.

For you Trenton folks, I do have a stopgap solution. Our friend, Scott Saylor, has several signs in front of his home. They say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wanted and Free Snow.â&#x20AC;? Please, GR, when you bring your gifts to his home donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave them in the driveway and block his vehicle, the front lawn will be fine.

I hope we see more of this crew and I certainly encourage all Gentle Readers to seek out this type of event.

How long before the snow melts? I did some net research on this to see if anyone had a good handle on it. For sure, the snow hydrologists (I looked it up; Gentle Reader, that is the proper name for this discipline) have been at it for a very long time, even before Clarence Birdseye brought winter inside. Some of the discussions between various schools of thought are quite heated, which should help us here and seem to be split between global warming as either man-caused or natural climate swings. I digress, perhaps a function of snow-bound

Hockey teams battle for Bay of Quinte championships

By Steve Jessel

Sports – Belleville – Bay of Quinte high school hockey supremacy was on the line at the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre last week, where the region’s top school clubs convened for a one-day tournament to determine bragging rights for the 2014 season.

It would be an all-Hastings final when the all the chips were down, as the Centre Hastings Secondary School Centurions faced off against the North Hastings High School Huskies in the gold medal match after the two teams beat the Nicholson Catholic College Crusaders and the Centennial Secondary School Chargers in separate semi-final match-ups.

In the final, Centre Hastings would ride a balanced scoring attack that saw four different players score goals en route to a 4 - 2 championship win, led

by a goal and an assist by Robbie Ellis.

Centre Hastings took the lead on their very first shot of the game, and they had little reason to look back after that. The Centurion’s Dustin Maunes added to the lead before the frame was up, and Centre Hastings held a commanding 2 - 0 lead after the opening period.

The second period looked to be more of the same after the Centurion’s Brandon Albert scored on a one-timer to make the lead 3 - 0, but North Hastings finally began to show the ability that led them all the way to the gold medal match. Both teams were laying big hits all over the ice, and that’s when North Hastings Captain Josh Houran took matters into his own hands, driving hard to the net and scoring to get the Huskies on the board trailing 3 - 1. Perhaps drawing some inspiration from his captain,

North Hasting’s Jordan Easton would make a drive to the net of his own just 45 seconds later, where he promptly netted home the goal on a slick backhand shot to bring the Huskies back within a goal.

Unfortunately for North Hastings, that’s as close as they would come, and a thirdperiod goal by the Centurion’s Brock Bronson was enough to carry Centre Hastings to a 4-2 win and the Bay of Quinte championship.

Centennial would defeat Nicholson 1 - 0 in the boy’s consolation final on a goal by Nick Hoey.

They started strong with first-period goals by Hunter Fargey and Dylan Savory to take a 2 - 0 lead. Whitby responded with a goal 30 seconds after Savory’s goal, but the Hawks responded with one of their own, by Zach de Concilys 46 seconds later, to take a 3 - 1 lead into the first intermission.

Whitby scored three straight goals in the second period to take a 4 - 3 lead but Danny Liscio responded with a goal to tie the score 4 - 4 by the second intermission.

It’s an all-out battle for the puck in front of the Norwood Hornets net in OMHA CC-C Novice semifinal action last weekend at Brighton arena. The Braves won the game and the series in dramatic fashion: with a shorthanded goal in overtime. Full playoff reports are in the Scoreboard.

Sports – Brighton – Local skaters put their best skate forward last weekend as the Brighton and District Figure Skating Club (BDFSC) presented its annual endof-season carnival at Brighton arena.

This year’s show, the 44th for the registered not-for-profit club, took on a nautical theme and featured some seafaring performances to themed

music.

“We are proud of the progress each and every skater has accomplished,” say the event organizers. “They have worked hard and are excited about the opportunity to perform their newly accoutred skills this evening. As parents, grandparents, guardians

and friends, we can’t help but smile and show our pride for these great skaters.”

And smile they did, along with a lot of cheers and applause.

BDFSC is an independent club that has operated in the Brighton community for more than four decades teaching the basics of

ice-skating and the fundamentals of figure skating to all ages.

The credo at the community club is to offer a quality recreational program at a reasonable cost to ensure all families have the opportunity to participate regardless of financial limitations.

Artists honoured at Maple Syrup Festival Day (oil on canvas) was awarded to Lenni Workman of Warkworth.

Gagnon said he was impressed with the large scale of this painting and the tension between the realism of the large red ďŹ&#x201A;owers and the abstraction of the vase with reďŹ&#x201A;ections. Coordination of the colours and the simpliďŹ ed background enhanced the subject.

Best Painting called Running Water, (oil on canvas) was won by Jerry Albert, who has a studio in Baltimore and is a ďŹ rst-time winner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a great on-site painting, easy technique and not contrived. It is a little bit of tucked-away landscape rendered with feeling,â&#x20AC;? said Gagnon.

Entertainment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Warkworth â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Marc L. Gagnon, a water colour and acrylic artist from Newcastle, selected the winners of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 14th Annual Maple Syrup Festival Art and Photography Show and Sale which took place in Warkworth at the Memorial Community Hall last Saturday.

There were some ďŹ rst-time winners at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s juried event.

Seventy-nine works of art were submitted from which Gagnon chose to include 45.

Earlier in the morning he had given a free demonstration in abstract watercolour painting.

The following are the winners: Best in Show called Red on a June

the texture and colouring of the stone was significant,” he noted.

Honourable Mention, a painting called Look to the Coast (acrylic), was won by Sue Wilkins of Campellford, also a first-time winner.

Gagnon said, “Sue has blended subtle textures and colour shifts to bring out the landscape with interesting land forms.”

Honourable Mention in photography went to Sylvie Flynn, of Cobourg, another first-time winner, for her photo called Fallen.

“This small photo is precious and subtle ... The photographer has a deep understanding of its strength in spite of its size,” said Gagnon.

Honourable Mention for 3D/Mixed Media went to Christopher Thorpe for his work called Harvest Crows

(acrylic and photography). He too is a first-time winner.

Gagnon commented, “This is an interesting way of addressing a found image and expanding it by adding painted objects (crows in this case) for more impact. It has a fabulous format and was a wise choice of photo.”

The artists’ and photographers’ work, including the winners’ submissions, will be on display in the Memorial Community Hall on Saturday, March 8, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, March 9 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

At that time visitors will have the opportunity to vote for the art/photograph they think should win the People’s Choice Award.

Lifestyles - Nobody wants their dog strangled or their ash trees bored. Who would guess that Barn Swallows are threatened? Or that we might lose the Blanding’s Turtle, whose cute yellow throat used to be seen all over our wetlands.

On March 13 in Belleville, Kate Pitt and Alison Kirkpatrick will help you identify invading species, defend against them, and protect native fish, animals and plants. This is the fourth in the Winter Speaker Series for the Hastings Stewardship Council.

Invading species are one of the greatest threats to the biodiversity of our waters and woodlands. Invading species can kill our native species, destroy habitats, and upset ecosystems because, in most cases, they have no natural predators or controls.

Alison Kirkpatrick leads the Aquatic Invasive Species Outreach at the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters and manages the monitoring program. She will identify the worst culprits and best management practices for eastern Ontario.

Alison can help volunteers to track invasive species with EDDMaps, the new tracking website and smartphone app, developed in partnership with the Invading Species Centre, University of Georgia and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. It will allow users to take a picture of an invasive species, and automatically mark the location and send it for verification.

Alison will profile the Emerald Ash Borer, Round Goby, Asian Carp, Garlic Mustard, Dog-strangling Vine, and others, including their impacts and identification. For example, the Round Goby competes with our native fish and has been implicated in outbreaks of botulism type E in Great Lakes fish and fisheating birds, resulting in large dieoffs of fish and birds.

Kate Pitt is a Species at Risk Biologist with the Ministry of Natural Resources helping to protect and restore our more than 200 native species that are in trouble. Kate will be talking about specific upland songbirds at risk in Hastings County such as the Bobolink and Eastern Meadowlark, as well as other “backyard” birds and animals that you can help protect. Check out her updates on the Barn Swallow and Blanding’s Turtle.

Farmers and landowners in Ontario can both serve and protect. Kate can answer questions about accommodating the needs of our species at risk while carrying out our daily work.

The briefing takes place at the Township of Thurlow Community Centre at 516 Harmony Road, north of Belleville (and west off hwy. 37), on Thursday, March 13 at 7 pm.

There is no cost, but donations will be gratefully accepted at the door.

All are welcome to attend. For further information, please contact Matt Caruana at The Hastings Stewardship Council: 613-391-9034 or email: info@hastingsstewardship.ca When native species are at risk, then people are at risk too.

TRAVEL

Exploring the eye-popping French Riviera Lifestyles - The French Riviera, the Cote d’Azur, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Located along France’s beautiful southeastern coastline, where the majestic Alps visibly plunge into the deep blue Mediterranean Sea, it’s regarded as a luxurious, sophisticated, and trendy retreat for the rich and famous. With its rugged coastline of sheer cliffs and magnificent beaches, the French Riviera is dotted with luxury homes, expensive yachts, and grand hotels.

Some of the most popular tourist destinations along the French Riviera include Menton, a city of gardens that’s located in the extreme southeast of France, near the Italian border, with a warm climate that’s favourable to its tangerine, orange, and lemon groves, Antibes, a traditional Mediterranean Sea port city, with a medieval castle and narrow shopping streets, Juan les Pins with its Picasso Museum, housed in the Chateau Grimaldi, Cannes, home of the renowned Cannes Film Festival each May, where the Palme d’Or is awarded, Nice, the beautiful capital city of the French Riviera, where strollers can enjoy a seaside walk along the renowned Promenade des Anglais, the Principality of Monaco site of the palace, casino, and annual Monaco Grand Prix, Biot, renowned for its glass blowing and pottery, Grasse, often referred to as “the world fragrance capital”, St. Tropez, located on one of the most beautiful harbours on the Mediterranean, and Grimaud, a village that features a partially restored 11th century castle and borders the Gulf of St. Tropez.

I used Nice, the capital city of the French Riviera, as my base, and I stayed at the Hotel Kyriad Nice Gare, an older hotel that was conveniently located very near to the train station and the city centre. I found that my room was a good size, with a large bed, and I was pleased that there was free wi-fi included and breakfast, too. From here I went on a walking tour of the city with Nadja Graf, of Tourism Nice, and she pointed out many of the city’s major points of interest, including the nearby Russian Orthodox Church (completed in 1912), the narrow streets of its Old Town, its Market Square, where the morning market booths were replaced by afternoon dining areas, Castle Hill, which we ascended for a spectacular view of the city and coastline, and its promenade along the city’s large harbour and beach area. I was surprised to find that there was no sand on this popular beach, for it was entirely stones. However, Nadja told me that the locals soon became very accustomed to this and many were seen sunning in this stony landscape or even walking barefoot. I was also surprised that, although I was in a very touristy area, the city’s buses were very cheap (1.5 Euros) and its museums were actually free!

As I explored Nice with Nadja, I also learned that this, the largest city on the Riviera, hosts a very famous Jazz Festival annually and a very popular Carnival, too. I also came to the conclusion that visitors who are interested in art will want to check out Nice’s Chagall Museum, Matisse Museum, and Fine Arts Museum. These same visitors will not want to miss Place Massena, either, a large square that features sev-

en statues of men atop high pedestals.

This represents the seven continents of the world, is entitled “Continents in Conversation with Nice”, and is illuminated at night in bright, changing colours.

Since I had a rail pass, I found Nice to be a convenient ‘home base’ on the French Riviera, and it was just a short rail ride to other worthwhile destinations, such as Cannes and Monaco.

I found that a lot of trains travelled through Nice on a daily basis, adding to the convenience. I also discovered that the International Nice-Riviera Airport, located in Nice, makes this particular destination on the French Riviera a very convenient air travel stop, too, for it’s the second largest airport in all of France and a major international hub.

While in this beautiful area, I also travelled westward, along the coastline, to Toulon, near the most southerly point of the French Riviera and here I checked out its pedestrian shopping area, its military port, fortress, and some of its many old fountains. After all, it’s often referred to as the City of Fountains.

I’d also recommend a visit to Saint Maxime, located at the northern end of the Gulf of St. Tropez, a mere 10 minute ferry ride from St. Tropez, and the island of Marguerite where the Man in the Iron Mask was incarcerated, just a The beach at Nice, on the French Riviera.

20-minute boat ride from Cannes.

Also worthwhile would be a visit to Le Trayas, a village from which you’ll view the stunning red rocks of Esterel and nearby is the Comiche de l’Esterel, one of the most beautiful roads and coastline drives found in the south A view of Monaco’s Fortress. of France.

I stayed in Nice’s Hotel Kyriad, conveniently located near the train station.

Art demonstration serves as preview for watercolour workshop Lifestyles – Warkworth – For the fourth year in a row, Spirit of the Hills hosted a free art demonstration in the Warkworth Town Hall Centre for the Arts.

Marc L. Gagnon, a full time watercolour and acrylic painter currently residing in Newcastle, presented a two-hour demonstration on abstraction in watercolour.

While 15 people watched and listened, he developed a scene from Lake Superior into an inspiring and imaginative work of art.

Using wide brushes, pure pigment with little water, he scrubbed his way to creating a rock face.

Paper towels, spray bottles, patience and time, all contributed to creating interesting textures, and a dynamic image.

After lunch, Gagnon walked to the Memorial Community Hall in the village to judge the submissions for the 14th Annual Maple Syrup Festival Juried Art & Photography Show and Sale.

In 2011, Spirit of the Hills received funding from Heritage Canada in conjunction with the 25th anniversary of the Warkworth Maple Syrup Festival.

This became the beginning of the free art demonstrations held the weekend prior to the traditional Maple Syrup Festival at Sandy Flat Sugar Bush.

Thanks to this initial federal art grant, Spirit of the Hills has continued under its own steam to create interesting Judge Marc Gagnon, from left, talks to photographer Tom Groot about his photo Cat in Provence. art demonstrations during the past three years including Other local photographers Robert Laycock and Mary Weilandt join the event.

Petes help HBPS students shut out bullying

By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock - Havelock Belmont Public School students got a big-time assist from the Peterborough Petes in their efforts to raise awareness about bullying and to highlight the importance of being a good citizen.

Centre Matt McCartney and defenseman Steven Varga spent part of Pink Day at the school signing autographs and talking about the importance of teamwork and leadership in dealing with bullies.

“We’re trying to do a broader piece with this [Pink Day] and putting it together with the Petes is a good way to address teamwork and working together,” principal Darryl Whitney said.

In the fall, Whitney said HBPS did a “full session” about anti-bullying and decided to enlarge on that “and make it more about the team and look at character attributes, specifically respect and responsibility.”

“We wanted to make it an even bigger day and not just about wearing pink and not just talking about bullying but talking about citizenship.

Being a good citizen means being respectful, responsible and being a good person.”

“We love it,” McCartney said about visiting elementary schools. “It’s not a big part of our day but I’m sure it’s a big part of the day for them. We like doing it and getting a good message across; it’s perfect.

“It’s always good to have good role models to look up to,” the Scarborough native said.

“Teamwork is a big part of everything especially with bullying,” he said. “If everyone

stands up and sticks together then no one is going to be singled out; that’s pretty much what teamwork is.”

McCartney also said leadership plays a key role in tackling bullying head-on.

“If the leader is doing the right thing and leading the right way that takes care of bullying right away.”

Lessons from sports definitely carry over into everyday life, McCartney said.

“Hockey is a good foundation for making friends.”

You can’t be a bystander when it comes to putting the check on bullying, you’ve got to step up and help the victim, he said.

“Take your role, be a leader and tell those who are trying to make other people feel bad to think about what you’re doing.”

Grade 1 teacher Jenny Pink helped organize events at the school.

“We talk about, on a daily basis, the strategies that children and adults can use but at the end of the day it’s really about being a good person and how we can work together as a team.

We just want to keep that conversation going and let the kids have some fun.

“It’s nice to put some familiar faces to it like hockey players. This is a big hockey community so it’s [good that students] know that they have the some of the same struggles that we have sometimes and we can learn from other people what they do to make good choices.”

“This is a time to pause and think about the things we can say and do on a daily basis [to make us better people]. It carries on with lifelong friends, it carries on at home.”

Iron Chef challenge provides high school students with real life experience

By Steve Jessel

News – Belleville – The whirring of knives and the quiet hum of a busy kitchen were the focus of the annual Loyalist Iron Chef contest this past week, where high school students from PECI, Peterborough and Kingston faced off in a battle royale to determine the region’s top student chefs.

“The goal of the event is to keep inspiration with high school students and promote the culinary program at this school as well as others, we just want to keep this industry alive as much as possible,” said Loyalist second-year culinary student Brennan Roy,

who helped organize the competition with other culinary students. “It’s to give them that rush, that excitement of getting something done in a time limit, and challenging yourself as much as possible.”

Student teams were tasked to create a threecourse menu using a set list of ingredients, and were then judged on their taste and presentation of their food along with their professionalism in the kitchen.

“Teamwork is huge in the kitchen and the food industry,” Brennan said when asked what a common mistake students might make is in the kitchen. “You defi-

nitely need to keep in contact with all your team members and know what they’re doing, and they need to know what you’re doing. Communication is key.”

For Grade 11 PECI student Jared Hartley, the competition was his second kick at the can after also competing in 2013. He said managing stress levels was key to succeeding in the competition.

“In the big scheme of things, how is it going to work out? If you need to redo something, can it be done in time?” Hartley said. “It’s about getting that experience.”

Experience is something that St. Peter’s chef Cathy Rose said students get in spades during the competition.

Rose was particularly praising of the opportunity for students to get professional feedback on their dishes during preliminary rounds earlier in the year, and said that Loyalist’s competition is the only one that she knows of that gives students that opportunity.

“The one thing that this competition does is it builds self esteem like no other competition,” she said.

“They can go away knowing they put out plates that were high calibre, restaurant worthy food.”

When the smoke had cleared, it was Rose’s St. Peter’s team that took home top honours, followed by PECI

The PECI team at the Loyalist Iron Chef competition included Emily VanGrootheest, Keith Petrasek, Jared Hartley, Zeb Snider, and Jason Hamilton. Photo: Steve Jessel

in second. The St. Peter’s menu included a mushroom ragout in a paprika rubbed pancetta ring finished with squash frites and leek oil, a paprika rubbed pork tenderloin served with herb whipped potatoes, organic

heirloom carrots, maple fig sauce and a rich pan jus, and for dessert, flour-less paprika infused dark chocolate cake with an orange mascarpone cream. Members of the winning team were each awarded

a $500 Loyalist bursary applicable to any Loyalist program, as well as gift certificates to be used toward kitchen equipment and supplies for their school.

Quinte West Home and Leisure show set for weekend of April 25-27 Events – Trenton – The 33rd Annual Quinte West Home and Leisure Show will take place April 25-27 at the Community Gardens in Trenton, hosted by the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce and the Trenton Kiwanis Club.

As we look forward to the signs of spring, it’s a great time to be planning new projects around your home and garden. “This show provides wonderful inspiration as it allows visitors to see the latest trends in home updates, and learn about lifestyle enhancements from a wide range of vendors,” says event coordinator Jillian McCormick The show has become a regional favourite offering great value to vendors and visitors. The cost of admission is $3 per person

and children of any age are free. One special attendee will start their spring renovations off right with a chance to win $1,000 Home Show Bucks when they visit the show. Home Show Bucks work like cash and can be spent at any vendor in the show.

Two arenas will be full of products and services for your home renovation projects and leisure activities plus upstairs is the Quinte Women’s Show.

Each year the Quinte West Home and Leisure Show has over 100 vendors showcasing their products or services and attracts nearly 3,000 visitors to the Trenton arena.

“There is a great variety in this years’ show covering everything from gardens and landscape design, roofing, general contrac-

tors, pools and hot tubs, custom windows, and much more,” says Chamber Manager Suzanne Andrews. “Sometimes it is hard to know who you are getting into business with, this show provides a great opportunity for the public to meet face to face with local businesses and industry professionals, talk to them about ideas, ask questions, and evaluate companies without commitment or having to set up appointments at your home.”

The show hours are Friday, April 25 from 5 to 9 p.m., Saturday, April 26 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, April 26 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Vendor spaces are still available.

Trent Hills resident saw Sochi Olympics from behind the camera lens

By John Campbell

Hastings – You can thank Brian Tyson for some of the great television moments you saw during the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics.

Not as an athlete but as a cameraman.

The Hastings-area resident was a member of the camera crews hired by Olympic Broadcast Services to produce world feeds of the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as the medal ceremonies that took place daily.

The opening ceremonies were “pretty impressive” and the artistic pieces that included some “amazing projections” onto the floor of the arena were “spectacular,” Tyson said.

“It was a very enjoyable experience,” he said, but for a cameraman, also “very challenging.”

He arrived in Russia six weeks before the Games began Feb. 7 because they needed people there in advance “to start blocking all the camera positions” for the opening ceremonies which were “extremely complex.”

Based on what he and the camera crew saw in rehearsals –“sometimes things worked, sometimes they didn’t” – they were left crossing their fingers that “it was going to work,” Tyson said.

In the end it “was pretty well

flawless,” apart from “the big thing everybody remembers,” one of the gigantic Olympic rings not opening as planned – a malfunction “not much different” from what happened during the official opening of the Winter Olympics in Vancouver in 2010, he said.

It marked the second time Tyson has worked the Olympics; his first was Calgary in 1988 for CTV. Born in Coventry, England, Tyson emigrated to Canada in 1968 and worked as a salesman for a pharmaceutical manufacturer before deciding to try making a living out of his hobby and becoming a still photographer. He studied photographic arts at Ryerson University in the early 1970s but then took “a slight detour” in his career path and spent the next 35 years working as a freelance cameraman in motion pictures, film and television production.

Tyson has shot thousands of TV shows – drama, variety, sports, talk, game, reality and awards – for seemingly every Canadian and American network, as well as commercials, documentaries, educational films and corporate videos.

His resume includes So You Think Can Dance, Open Mike with Mike Bullard (for six years),

the Winnipeg Comedy Festival, Just for Laughs, and, currently, the Ron James Show.

He does not have any favourites.

“I’ve always enjoyed whatever show I was doing,” Tyson said. “I can’t remember too many times when I’ve got up in the morning and said I don’t want to go to work today.”

Getting into the business was “not a tough go” but he wouldn’t want to be starting out now.

There’s more competition and “the whole business has changed” because the networks “don’t want to train anybody,” preferring to hire freelancers such as himself “who already know how to do the work.”

Now approaching 70, the “semi-retired” Tyson and his wife, Barbara Klatt, own and operate a market garden farm east of Hastings, growing organic fruits and vegetables.

He’s pursuing still photography “more seriously” these days, as a member of Spirit of the Hills and as a blogger (http://cameraf11.com).

The website is his “business card” that lets people know what kind of photography he does. His favourite images are in black and white, which he finds “more aesthetically pleasing.”

Brian Tyson can now say he’s been to Russia but he really didn’t get to see much of the country, despite being there for more than two months.

He was too busy working as a cameraman at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics, shooting the opening and closing ceremonies as well as the daily medal ceremonies. Photo: Submitted.
