Brighton proposes 2.45 per cent tax levy increase BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – Council has finally put budget deliberations to bed. As of the end of February, the assumed blended residential tax impact is estimated at a rough 1.99 per cent overall increase, reports director of finance and administrative services Linda Widdifield. The municipal levy will increase by 2.45 per cent. To date, the municipality is still waiting on education and county rates. Staff has been working assuming the county rates will hold and considering how historically education rates have dropped year-over-year. So the overall increase could still change, noted Widdifield. Residential assessments will increase on average 1.907 per cent, so an assessment of $250,000 from 2016, will increase to $254,786 in 2017. The current estimated increase residents are looking at is $60 a year, based on the $250,000 as-
sessment. Following the receipt of the county and education rates, staff will bring the tax rate bylaw to council. Mayor Mark Walas said staff has done great work with the 2017 budget. “We’ve got quite a bit of capital work being done, a lot of roadwork and a lot of repair and replacement being done,” said Walas. The municipality’s total expenditures for 2017 came in at just under $17 million. With revenue deducted, the tax levy sits at $7,440,501. The budget increased for 2017, by just over $280,000. Positive growth is once again helping to lessen the impact for all taxpayers though, said Widdifield. Of the total expenditures for Brighton, public works accounts for the largest chunk of cash, coming in at $5.8 million. Concerning capital expenditures, totaling just over $5.2 million, public works similarly makes up 57 per cent of that total. What this means is a lot of road projects will be undertaken in 2017, said Widdifield. The director described the municipality’s plan for roads in 2017, as a “healthy road reconstruction program.” The mu-

nicipality will also not be borrowing for upgrades for roads. Some of the roadway improvements highlighted by staff for urban road construction, include the completion of Dundas Street, from Young to Daniels Drive, the completion of Alice Street and Orchard Crescent reconstruction. Several rural roads will also be refreshed through the surface treatment program and will receive ditching and brushing, including Fish Hatchery Road and Guertin Road. Jamieson Road, from Cameron Road to the dead end and Sumach Lane, from Goodrich Road to the dead end, will both be upgraded from gravel surfaces. Both Telephone Road, from County Road 30 to Waites Road and Whites Road, from Scriver Road, will get some work done too. Several other rural roads also made the list. Funds for enhanced maintenance is a highlight for the 2017 budget, reports Widdifield. An additional $100,000 has been allocated for brushing and ditching work, with some work being completed in house this year. A $100,000 increase for sidewalk maintenance, just for repairs and refinishing some sidewalks is also in the budget.
Big-hearted Brightonians help in Canada’s North BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – Alfred Gregg’s legacy of “looking after the little guys” lives on and soon will reach kids as far as Nunavut. For decades, Gregg took care of kids through his skate sharpening shop at the King Edward Park Arena. He was also a well known hockey fan and coach for a number of years. In his memory, a mountain of bags and boxes filled with hockey equipment was donated recently and will be sent to Nunavut. Jim and Marie Marquardt took over the skate shop after Gregg, fearing it may otherwise close. They wanted to carry on Gregg’s legacy and recognized the shop’s value for the community and young hockey players. Like Gregg, the Marquardts carry on “looking after the little guys,” said Jim, trying to make sure hockey is affordable for all the youngsters who want to play. The shop also takes in a lot of equipment

and gear from kids who outgrow it. And while a lot of the gear gets donated back to kids in the community, the shop was getting so full of donated gear, there was getting to be no room left, joked Jim. That’s why in memory of Gregg, the Marquardts, East Northumberland Secondary School (ENSS) and the ENSS Interact Club teamed up recently to make some room in the shop and help out some kids in Nunavut. The group got the gear ready to ship out on Friday, March 3. Through a partnership with CFB Trenton, an array of equipment and gear – everything from goalie pads, helmets, sweaters, pants, gloves, sticks and at least 50-60 pairs of skates are being shipped off. “A lot of the stuff, it’s like brand new,” said Jim. “Wherever we can help kids get the opportunity to play, we want to.” Watching the boxes and bags get loaded up from the arena on Friday, knowing the difference the gear will make for some kids, it’s a
pretty amazing feeling, said Jim. Pamela Vanderburg, a teacher at ENSS explains the needs are many for several communities within Nunavut. Through the ‘Needs of the North’ and ENSS Native studies programs and in conjunction with CFB Trenton, local residents are trying to help. Vanderburg and Debbie Kilmer are facilitators of the programs. CFB Trenton makes sure donations are possible and take up 700 pounds worth of items, during flying exercises and trips to the north. And without CFB Trenton, a shipment like the one in memory of Gregg, could cost around $2,000, noted Vanderburg. “So we’re really grateful,” said Vanderburg on Friday, ecstatic about the shipment of gear that will go to Nunavut. “Every community loves hockey. This is just really great.” Vanderburg is hopeful the group will be able to sort out equipment, so two-to-three communities will benefit from the donation and so more kids will have the chance to play. In coming months, the dedicated group will be looking to send another shipment, focusing on baby clothes, books, winter clothing and more sports equipment, said Vanderburg. She will take donations at any time. In addition, in the near future the group is hoping to make a connection with a community in western Nunavut, which recently lost its only school after a fire in Kugaaruk, noted Vanderburg. For every war, there are many who bravely and proudly leave their loved TRUSS & FLOOR ones behind to protect For Professional, Friendly Service, Contact the freedoms that we as Canadians are afforded.
SO THAT WE MAY BE FREE.

Water and wastewater budget changes are primarily due to new loan payments, wages, hydro and some berm maintenance, as well as take into account the underground infrastructure upgrades to be completed, explains Widdifield. Other highlights for this year’s budget cited by the director, include the refurbishment of the tennis courts and lights, renovations to the library and municipal centre and the Butler Trail extension, to name a few. Council has also agreed to install a small playground structure with some swings and to put some benches and picnic tables down by the Government Dock. Work in 2017 will continue on the water and wastewater rate study, asset management and strategic planning and for the completion of the water pollution control plant environmental assessment. Overall and despite challenges, to have the capital budget steadily increasing and reserves increase slightly too, “it’s good news” for Brighton, said Widdifield. “This shows council’s commitment to improving our infrastructure, either through saving for future infrastructure or by increasing the capital year-overyear,” she said.
It is these brave few we honour.

OPINION
Dutch election and the immigrant backlash The Dutch political system may not have been deliberately designed to produce middle-of-the-road outcomes, but it certainly works that way in practice: many small parties, multi-party coalitions to create a Gwynne Dyer majority government, perpetual compromise. It is almost impossible to radicalize a system like this, but Geert Wilders is going to try. Wilders is the founder and leader of the Freedom Party (PVV), which currently holds only twelve seats in the 150-seat Dutch parliament. But he is aiming to make it the largest single party in the March 15 election – which, in ordinary times, would probably give it the leading role in the next coalition government. But these are not normal times, and the PVV is far from a normal party. It really only has one policy – stop the immigrants – and it is unashamedly racist and anti-Muslim in its rhetoric. Wilders recently called Dutch residents of Moroccan origin “scum”. He vows to close mosques and Islamic schools, ban the sale of the Koran, and stop all further immigrants or asylum seekers from Muslim countries. He is the Dutch Donald Trump, a silvermaned provocateur who deploys the maximum possible nastiness in his campaign talk and his frequent abusive tweets. In fact, some people argue that Trump must have taken lessons from Wilders, who has been working this side of the street for at least a decade already, but the concept of convergent evolution probably applies. Populists are almost always racists too. Which brings us to the question that is most interesting for people who don’t live in the Netherlands. Can racism and xenophobia alone, without any help from economic desperation, persuade a traditionally liberal Western electorate to cast its values aside and vote for an authoritarian bully with an anti-Muslim obsession? Trump had lots of help from economic despair. The key voters who gave him an electoral college victory last November were in the Rust Belt states: men (they were mostly men) who would usually have backed Democratic candidates, but switched to Trump because he promised to “bring back the jobs” and stop the nonwhite immigration. There was certainly a large element of racial panic in the American vote. A survey by Zack Beauchamp of the opinion polling and recent academic research on the topic, entitled
“White Riot” and published on Vox on 20 January, documented the argument that “the real sources of the far-right’s appeal are anger over immigration and a toxic mix of racial and religious intolerance.” On the other hand, the Rust Belt states south of the Great Lakes, the former industrial heartland of the United States, are the places that have suffered the greatest job losses over the past few decades, which is why cities like Cleveland and Detroit are decaying and partly abandoned. And they are emphatically NOT major destinations for new immigrants to the US. Trump himself always ensures that he hits on both immigration and job losses in his speeches and tweets, and he is the world’s expert on the fears and prejudices of his supporters. Could we perhaps speculate that his supporters say that they are frightened about immigration and especially Mulim immigration, but that their racism is really driven in large part by their anger at the steep decline in the number of wellpaid industrial jobs? Of the six states with over a million immigrants – California, New York, Texas, Florida, Illinois and New Jersey – only Florida (where Trump won by a whisker) and Texas (which has voted Republican in every presidential election since 1980) voted for Trump. California, whose ten million immigrants make up 27 percent of the state population, voted two-to-one for Hillary Clinton. It would seem that, in the words of the old Phil Spector song, to know, know, know them is to love, love, love them (the immigrants), or at least not to fear them. Whereas Michigan, a Rust-Belt state that voted Democratic in the previous six elections and where only 6 percent of the population are immigrants, voted for Trump. The narrow Leave majority countrywide was won in depressed northern industrial cities where immigrant populations are low, and in prosperous rural areas where there are virtually no immigrants at all. So there was again racial panic at the changing ethnic face of England in areas where immigrants were largely absent, but especially in post-industrial areas where they are (wrongly) blamed for the loss of wellpaying jobs. In populist revolts elsewhere, the manifest racism and anti-immigrant sentiment that dominated in the opinion polls masked a deeper resentment about the loss of jobs. In the Netherlands, where unemployment is only 5 percent, Geert Wilders is depending on racism alone, and he is not heading for a Brexitor Trump-style victory. The latest opinion poll gives him just 15 percent of the vote.

Trump just may be going too far this time Editorial by Chris Malette Another week another whistle stop on the crazy train that is the Donald Trump presidency. This time, the president who is weekly leading many to question his intelligence and mental stability, may be about to seriously impact Canada in a way few of us here on the shores of the Great Lakes could imagine. Reports out of the U.S. say Trump and his acolytes who view environmental protection as hippy hair-braiding are about to gut the agencies that protect and improve the very health of 20 per cent of the planet’s fresh drinking water – The Great Lakes. In the first widespread exposure of the nefarious plans of the Trump administration to gut environmental protection, the Detroit Free Press published portions of a story last Thursday from the original work done by Oregonian environmental reporter Rob Davis, who obtained leaked documents that show proposed cuts across the board for the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA, of course, is now to be the Trump administration’s whipping boy, chief among the despised federal agencies that Trump and his band of climate change deniers and anti-environmentalism thugs will gut like a piñata to fund tax breaks for industry and provide massive increases in spending for the US’s already bloated military goliath. The National Association of Clean Air Agencies confirmed that an initial proposal from the White House Office of Management and Budget calls for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative to be cut from $300 million a year to about $10 million. Also, the Washington Post reported last week that the White House was looking at cutting the EPA budget from $8.2 billion to $6.1 billion and reducing staffing by 3,000 employees as it looks to increase funding for the military and slash regulations on everything from industrial inspections to the coast guard and agricultural oversight. Remember, here in the region that hugs the north shore of Lake Ontario, if the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative is targeted for such a drastic reduction, say experts, it would decimate a program that has helped pay to restore wetlands and improve water quality across the Great Lakes basin. It may be based in the U.S. and funded by federal tax dollars there, but 80 to 90 per cent of the pollution and nutrient loading in the lakes originates there. It’s the old sleeping with an elephant thing – every aspect

of environmental malfeasance on the part of the U.S. affects us here on this side of the border as the lakes know no international borders. But, here at home, we have been watching as the progress on cleaning up our own link to the Great Lakes has been nothing short of remarkable in its scope and achievements. If anyone can stomach to recall the state of the Bay of Quinte in the 1950s, ‘60s and early ‘70s they’ll remember a fetid soup of algae and dirty brown water. But, that changed a scant three decades ago and it’s all tied to American funding of clean water initiatives for the Great Lakes. In 1985, the International Joint Commission (a Canadian – American Great Lakes watchdog), under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, identified the Bay of Quinte as one of 43 Great Lakes Areas of Concern. In other words, along with such filthy water bodies as Hamilton Harbour, the bay was a pollution hot-spot. One of the main environmental issues with the Bay has always been the amount of nutrients entering it, particularly phosphorus. Phosphorus is a naturally-occurring element. In just the right amount, it’s a beneficial, life-giving nutrient for rivers, lakes, bays, and streams. On the other hand, too much phosphorus plays havoc with nature and spawns massive algae blooms. The BQRAP has reduced the amount of phosphorus entering the bay from multiple sources, both rural and urban, such as sewage treatment plants, stormwater run-off, and agricultural land practices. With the reduction in phosphorus levels, water clarity has improved due to reduced algae. Programs were begun to educate farmers and those industries around the watersheds of the hazards of nutrient overloading and how to stem the flow, to use just one example. None of that happens without money – money from Ottawa and money from Washington. States-wise, new EPA head and former Oklahoma attorney general Scott Pruitt, is expected to review any proposals for cuts before a budget plan is finalized. One can only hope that diplomacy can send a strong, clear and committed signal from Canada that we cannot, will not, stand by and watch a maniacal ideology that is contrary to healthy stewardship of the planet ruin the good works of decades of environmental progress on such a massive, fragile resource as the Great Lakes.

Colborne gallery is now showing the ‘Power of the Pen’ gallery,” Funnell said. One to two guest shows are held as well, such as the current exhibition. Its annual juried show drew 120-some entries. An outside juror chooses which get shown by viewing submissions online. The gallery is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. A special exhibition is planned for May 27-July 2 in which all past members will be represented. “That will be a big celebration,” Funnell said.
BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Colborne – Currently on display at the Colborne Art Gallery is a one-man show, Power of the Pen, featuring pen-and-ink drawings by Port Perry artist Ronald Peter. It’s a medium he first explored 40 years ago and “rather enjoyed” before pursuing a career in graphic arts, doing “a little bit of everything” -- design, production work, advertising – until he retired11 years ago. He started painting again, first with oils, then water colour and after that pastels before deciding to “give pen-and-ink a whirl again. I hadn’t done it for so long,” he said, but “really, I think it’s the best work I do.” His exhibition which runs until April 9 contains 15 pieces. Peter prefers to draw scenes with “something man-made in them, which lends itself to the medium, as does the grey scale, as opposed to colour.” He likes buildings that have a weathered look, because “it tells a little story about what’s been,” and he’s “very fond of Newfoundland.” Its charm lies in “not only the way things are now but how they’ve been,” he said. “They hang on to their past, they appreciate tradition,” including fishing stations which they keep “at all costs,” even when they’re no longer in use, because they’re “so much a part of their past.” Peter said the Colborne venue, a former registry office, is “a wonderful gallery” in “a great old building.” The gallery is a cooperative managed by nine “like-minded, passionate artists” whose

Brighton – In the wake of some councillors expressing concerns over Mayor Mark Walas’ new initiative known as ‘Coffee with the Mayor,’ Walas is looking to set the record straight. Walas was absent for a recent budget meeting, during which councillors raised concerns over whether the mayor should be using the King Edward Park Community Centre for the new initiative. “On different occasions, all of council have expressed a need to improve communication with the community,” said Walas in an interview after the meeting. Walas announced the initiative at the municipality’s New Year’s levee, at which he noted some councillors, including John Martinello and Brian Ostrander were not present. The idea for the initiative was actually suggested to Walas, said the mayor, by Brightonian Betty McGill-Down. “I thought it was a great idea and so I brought it forward at the levee,” said Walas. The Coffee with the Mayor sessions, which just began and are to run a monthly basis at the community centre, aim to offer residents the opportunity to meet with the mayor in a less formal setting and offer people the chance to voice concerns, ask questions and suggest ideas for the town. This is a new communication tool, nothing more, said Walas.
(Coffee with the Mayor is) a great communication tool and it’s very innocent…” Mayor Mark Walas
tended the first Coffee with the Mayor session with a friend, said they see the initiative as a positive movement for the town. Not everyone wants to stand up in front of a bunch of people and voice concerns in a potentially confrontational setting, she said. McGill-Down recalled how she was heading to the drop-in centre, when she ran into Walas just before Christmas and the idea for Coffee with the Mayor evolved. McGill-Down suggested the mayor come visit with folks at the drop-in centre and chat over coffee. The group then exchanged thoughts and ideas with the mayor, shared in a few laughs, said the resident, and did so in a relaxed setting, which was not confrontational, but simply friendly and productive. “It was quite nice,” as was the first Coffee with the Mayor session, said McGill-Down. Sometimes residents may have difficult questions, noted the Brightonian. McGill-Down doesn’t believe the sessions, if held in the mayor’s office, would be as relaxed. The community centre has ample parking, noted McGill-Down. The first session was like a round table discussion she explained.
The idea is, residents can speak with the mayor, ask questions, report concerns, have simple conversations over coffee and then Walas can take that information back to council. The goal is to promote and foster better communication within the municipality, insists the mayor. Walas predicted only positives would come from meeting with residents through the initiative, as this was something that is meant to benefit the entirety of the municipality, he said. Under the Municipal Act, the mayor’s interpretation of his role is to promote the municipality and he believes through an initiative such as this, this is exactly what he’s doing. “I did, I thought it was a great idea, a great communication tool and it’s very innocent,” said Walas. Availability for the community centre was looked at with director of parks and recreation, Jim Millar and CAO Walas noted that he bought the coffee and Bill Watson and Walas no issues were foreseen in hosting the Coffee with the Timbits for residents who attended the sesMayor sessions at the centre, he said. sions from the new Tim Hortons in BrighResidents like McGill-Down, who also at- ton.

Seniors Feature
Keep your heart running strong into your golden years Heart health should be a concern for people of all ages, but especially so for men and women over 50. That’s because, according to the American Heart Association, even men and women who are free of cardiovascular disease at age 50 are at a significant lifetime risk of developing the disease. But heart disease does not have to be an accepted by product of aging. For example, a 2014 study published in the AHA journal Circulation found that maintaining or increasing physical activity after age 65 can improve the heart’s well-being and lower risk of heart attack. In addition to increasing physical activity as they age, older men and women who understand heart disease and learn to recognize its symptoms have a greater chance of minimizing its affects and lowering their risk of having a heart attack. What are the symptoms of heart disease? Heart disease is a blanket term used to describe a host of conditions, so symptoms vary depending on each individual condition. The following are some of the more widely known conditions and their symptoms: • Hypertension: Also known as high blood pressure, hypertension is a largely symptomless form of heart disease. The AHA notes that the idea that hypertension produces symptoms such as difficulty sleeping, facial flushing, nervousness, and sweating is a misconception. Symptoms typically do not alert men and women to the presence of hypertension, highlighting the emphasis men and women should place on
routine visits to the doctor’s office, where their blood pressure can be taken. • Heart attack: The symptoms of a heart attack are different than the symptoms of heart disease that may lead to heart attack. The former can be found by visiting www.heart.org. Signs that you may be heading toward a heart attack include undue fatigue, palpitations (the sensation that your heart is skipping a beat or beating too rapidly), dyspnea (difficulty or labored breathing), chest pain or discomfort from increased activity. • Arrhythmia: Arrhythmia means your heartbeat is irregular, and men and women often mistakenly believe arrhythmia only afflicts those who already have been diagnosed with heart disease or have had a heart attack. But arrhythmia can affect even those men and women who have healthy hearts and no history of cardiovascular disease. Symptoms of arrhythmia can vary greatly, from a single premature beat to a series of premature beats that occur in rapid succession. Arrhythmia that lasts long enough to affect heart function may include symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, fatigue, dizziness, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, and chest pain. How can I protect my heart? Heart healthy habits take some effort, but men and women can protect their hearts regardless of their ages. • Get sufficient exercise. At least 30 minutes of exercise per day can protect against disease.
SO THAT WE MAY BE FREE. For every war, there are many who bravely and proudly leave their loved ones behind to protect the freedoms that we as Canadians are afforded. It is these brave few we honour.

• Quit smoking. Smoking increases your rick for a host of ailments, including heart disease. Quitting is a great way to start getting your heart and other parts of your body back on track. • Include heart-healthy foods in your diet. A diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables and low in cholesterol, salt and saturated fat promotes heart health. • Don’t drink alcohol to excess. Like smoking, drinking alcohol to excess can lead to a host of problems, such as high blood pressure, arrhythmia and high cholesterol, each of which increases your risk of heart disease.
• Lose weight. Being overweight or obese is a major risk factor for heart disease. If you have already started to exercise daily and eat a more heart-healthy diet, then you’re on your way to losing weight. Consult your physician if diet and exercise don’t seem to be helping you to shed pounds. Heart disease kills millions of people across the globe each year, many of whom are over 50. But men and women who learn about heart disease and how to reduce their risk stand a far greater chance of fighting the disease.

Charitable works of Schmidts honoured at gala Guardian Angels event BY CHRIS MALETTE
Belleville - It was an over-the-top glamorous event Saturday at Sears Atrium as more than 300 supporters and sponsors gathered for the annual Quinte Childrens Foundation Guardian Angel Gala. Guests of honour were Guardian Angels Ken and Cynthya Schmidt. There was more than $46,000 raised in the live auction auctioneer by Boyd Sullivan, alone, and tallying carried on Sunday for the dozens of items in silent auctions spread throughout the glittering venue. It is believed close to $200,000 may be the final total for the event, said one organizer. Owner/operators of McDonald’s in Quinte West and Brighton, the Schmidts have sponsored numerous charities, including: Junior Mac’s Learn to Skate Program; purchasing a Martin 16 sailboat for Quinte Sailability; and funding for the Trenton Splash Pad.
VETERINARY SERVICE SMALL ANIMAL CARE
“Through work, they help fund scholarships to deserving youth,” said organizers of Saturday’s event. “Cynthya has served on the board of directors for the Central East YMCA and was past director of the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation. Ken has been extremely involved with the Children’s Foundation as a member on its board of directors and a past chairman of the board. Ken helped to guide the organization into its successful expansion in 2015 to Northumberland and Prince Edward Counties.” A highlight of the event Saturday evening was the spirited bidding on an autographed New England Patriots helmet, signed by future hall of fame quarterback Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski and many more Pats. The helmet brought in $8,000 alone in a last-second bid.

Figure skaters sparkle at season finale show in Brighton BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – With Annie, Transformers and Footloose-inspired routines, the Brighton and District Figure Skating Club made magic unfold at the King Edward Park Arena on the weekend. On Saturday, March 4, skaters demonstrated what they’ve learned this past year for the community, family and friends, during the club’s grand-finale and year-end skating carnival, bringing some big screen classics to life on the ice with this year’s theme ‘Welcome to the Movies.’ “It’s just a great way for the kids to show off what they’ve learned and to have some fun with it,” said Donna Cronin, president for the club. What’s more, often the year-end carnival offers grandparents and loved ones the chance to see the kids perform for the first time or sometimes, for the first time since last year, added Cronin. It’s often a special experience for families and the kids, to hear the feedback from loved ones who are often “amazed” looking back to the first night, when kids were just learning to stand on the ice and now at the carnival, are skating the length of the arena, touching their toes and more, said Cronin. The two-hour plus program on the weekend featured an array of demonstrations, with solo and group performances and both the beginners and seniors hitting the ice to put a show for the
community, concluding the skaters season. The club starts back up again with registration in September.

Brighton hosts ‘premier event’ for curling community BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – The 50th annual Steerspeil returned this weekend to the Brighton and District Curling Club, drawing in dozens of spectators with more than 50 games played before the final winners were crowned. With six new entries and teams coming from Ottawa, Richmond, Brampton, Cobourg, Colborne, Trenton and Brighton, the Steerspeil remains one of the premier events in the curling community, said curler Craig Kerr. This weekend’s contest saw 22 teams compete, with curlers hitting the ice starting on Friday evening. Play continued until Sunday evening, when a Kingston team took the first place win and $3,000. More than $6,000 was handed out in prizes

for the 50th Steerspeil, club president Brian Brose confirmed. A team from Trenton took the second top spot and a Cobourg team finished third. In fourth place was a team from Brighton, which included Ray Bruneau, Ray Lobban, Bryan Bruneau and Judd Gilks. Bonspiel committee members, including Brose, Steve Miller and Mike Hilsheimer, say they’re impressed with the success of this year’s spiel. The trio hopes to rally 32 entries for next year’s competition. Fun fact: The winners of the first Steerspeil were led outside the club and presented with a rope – on the end of the rope was a live steer. Over the years, prizes were cut and wrapped meats and later changed to cash.

Campbellford's midget team on a tear, OMHA championship in sight BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Campbellford – The Campbellford Colts completed their third straight series sweep in the playdowns last weekend to advance to the OMHA midget CC championship. The Colts won a pair in Walkerton after opening the six-point series with a win at home a week earlier. Sam Brunton made 19 saves for the shutout and Nolan Beamish, Haydon Baptie and Dawson Turcotte provided the offence in the team's 3-0 triumph Feb. 26. Campbellford defeated 5-1 two days earlier with Philip Boivin in net. He stopped 25 shots. Ethan Conte and Zack Nicholson each scored twice, and Cameron Gorton closed out the scoring. Turcotte collected two assists. “They're an awesome group of kids,” coach Ben McKeown said. “Good mentality. They aren't happy unless they play their best hockey.”
Even after taking the series opener 4-2, they were a subdued bunch in the dressing room because they realized they hadn't played to their full potential “and knew they had to play better,” he said. Which they did in Walkerton. Their opponents tried to intimidate them “but it didn't work out because our guys are a little stronger than they are,” McKeown said, “and very, very disciplined.” The team had a rule at the beginning of the season that if any player took a stupid penalty, he would sit for five minutes. “We only had to sit a kid once for a stupid penalty all playoffs which says a lot for this age group,” McKeown said. The Colts are also “very fast and very talented. We have some guys that can lay the body but we don't go out of our way like a lot of teams do.” The team finished the regular season with a record of 15-3-4 in the Eastern Ontario Minor Hockey League, just two points
behind Ennismore in the 15-team circuit. Most of the Colts also play for the high school team, which is in the hunt for a championship as well. Six team members are from Norwood, which didn't have a midget team this season. McKeown, 24, was a member of Campbellford's last midget squad to win a provincial title, in 2010, when it defeated Tavistock. Campbellford could meet Tavistock again. It's up two games to none in its series with Goderich. McKeown said the championship will probably begin March 11-12, with home advantage to be determined by a coin toss. His players are “very focused” on earning another banner for Campbellford. “They're embracing the challenge for sure,” he said. Campbellford began its march to the final with three-game sweeps of North Frontenac and Brighton.

Colborne – A pair of hockey games will be held this weekend at the Keeler Centre to raise money in support of the Suzanne Kernaghan Trail and Colborne Rotary community projects. The first is a rematch between the alumni of Colborne’s all-Ontario peewee D champion team in 2004 and the 2005 midget squad that made it to the D provincial championship in 2005.\ “They’re the last two teams (from Colborne) to go all-Ontario,” said Cramahe Township Councillor Don Clark, who’s organizing the event, which gets underway 6 p.m. March 11. The first time the alumni clashed, three years ago, was also “the last time the arena was full,” Clark said,
created the trail named in honour of his two children’s aunt,who was killed in a car accident in 2009 before her 40th birthday. Kernaghan was an elementary schoolteacher who was also “a friend of the environment and a nature lover,” Clark said. Rotary helped out by donating $10,000 to erect a foot bridge over Colborne Creek as its 60th anniversary project. “It was Don who came to the Rotary Club and presented the idea,” president Lee Clement said. “We were glad to help him out, for a good cause.” Work on the trail also involved rehabilitation of the creek and stabilization of its banks, which reduced the risk of flooding in the area that has been a problem in the past. The first alumni game raised $5,800 which was used to build a picnic shelter to provide shade for the Rotary Centennial Park children’s playground at the north end of the trail. Tickets to the Colborne Cramahe Minor Hockey Association Classic Challenge are $5 for adults, $3 for children under 12. To purchase in ad- Cramahe Township Councillor Don Clark, in front, showed Michael vance call Clark at 905-355-2409 or Dziedzic and Lee Clement, president of Colborne Rotary, what his plans are for “dressing up” the trail he built with volunteers several years ago.

You can count your calories when eating out – it’s law BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – Quick: which has more calories, a Boston cream doughnut or an apple fritter? An apple fritter at Tim Hortons contains 310 calories, so if you’re trying to slim down, you may want to try the Boston cream, with just 220 calories. This information is conveniently available to consumers after new Ontario legislation that requires most food premises to post calorie counts on regular menu items. It came into effect at the start of the year. It’s legislation that public health officials look forward to enforcing, as it’s designed to help people make healthy choices. The topic generated discussion at a Hastings Prince Edward Public Health board meeting on Wednesday, March 1, when program managers Roberto Almeida and Jillian Gumbley gave a presentation on healthy menu labelling legislation. Although HPEPH food inspectors aren’t out enforcing the legislation yet, they soon will be, Almeida said. “They’ll have to study hard before they go out, because this is very technical,” he said. “It’s kind of complicated, but we’ll work through it.” The legislation forces food premises with 20 or more menu times to post the calorie counts on regular menu items. This applies, obviously, to restaurants and fast food chains. Most big franchises, including Tim Hortons, are already complying. But, the legislation gets more complicated when it comes to dealing with other businesses, such as grocery stores or food trucks. For instance, Almeida said, a grocery store that sells meat at a deli would not necessarily have to post calorie contents. However, if that deli is selling take out sandwiches it would. There are also exemptions to the rule – made so not to put a financial strain on small businesses that can’t afford to constantly reprint menus. For instance, a food premises that operates for less than 60 days of the calendar year is exempt from the rule. This would free up a
food truck that shows up only at special summer events. Food premises within schools, day care or correctional facilities are also exempt, as they’re already bound by different legislation that requires them to offer healthy choices. The issue got board members talking, with many agreeing that the legislation is a good idea. The board also passed a motion to write to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care to seek more clarity on why schools are exempt from the legislation. Almeida said Public Health staff have already participated in Ministry-led webinars to train staff on how the legislation should be enforced. In the time between now and when staff are ready to enforce the bylaw, citizens can file complaints to the health unit if they see a food premise that’s not complying. Those complaints will be forwarded to Ministry authorities for now. Right now, the health unit and the Ministry are working on education campaigns, to ensure food premise owners and the public understand the legislation. “We, as health units, are supposed to follow up and support that public education campaign however we see fit,” Almeida said. FACTBOX Ontario’s Healthy Menu Choices Act, passed in 2015 and brought into effect at the start of 2017, was born out of concern over overweight and obesity rates. Nearly one-third of Canadian children were overweight or obese in 2009-2011 and about 30 per cent of children were overweight or obese. The Act asks food premises to post the following message by their menus. “Adults and youth (ages 13 and over) need an average of 2,000 calories a day and children (ages 4 to 12) need an average of 1,500 calories a day. However, individual needs may vary. Full details on the legislation is available at https://www.ontario.ca/ laws/regulation/r16050?_ga=1.105 Calories, such as these on menu items at Tim Hortons drive-thru, are on full display for customers to make informed dining choices. 802243.1080976411.1454609642 Chris Malette/Metroland

Rural residents could see 40-50% hydro rate cut: Rinaldi
MPP Lou Rinaldi. John Campbell/Metroland
BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Northumberland-Quinte West – Residents will begin paying 25 per cent less for their hydro this June as the provincial government responds to persistent criticism over the high cost of electricity. The reduction announced last
week includes the eight per cent the government introduced in January when it began issuing rebates for provincial sales tax on hydro bills, but the overall savings will be even larger depending on where you live, MPP Lou Rinaldi said.
“Every household, every small mom-and-pop business, every agricultural account will receive a minimum 25 per cent (reduction),” he said, but those “in rural areas with very low density, which is a good chunk of our neighbourhood ... will see additional
relief – it could be up to 40 to 50 per cent.” The “big difference is in the delivery charge” which his government is “smoothing out” so that it will be “roughly the same” throughout Ontario, Rinaldi said. The Liberal MP, who lives in a home with electric heat in a low density area east of Brighton, said he’s currently paying a delivery charge “probably three times higher than someone who lives in an urban area.” His government is also doubling the amount of relief it provides people with low incomes who need help paying their hydro bills. A single person earning below $22,000, for example, will receive $100 a month, not $50, when the different initiatives take effect. The money to pay for that will come out of general revenues. “We figure social programs should not be subsidized by ratepayers,” Rinaldi said. The government is also extending the length of time it will take to pay off the debt it incurred upgrading the energy system and to meet commitments it made with long-term green energy contracts that are costing it more than the revenue they generate. The repayment schedule will be stretched from 20 years to 30
years and will cost an extra $1.4 billion a year maximum in interest payments. “It’s just like refinancing your mortgage,” Rinaldi said. Hydro bills will be less -- with increases tied to the rate of inflation – “but we are going to pay more in the long run,” he acknowledged. “What we’re saying is why should today’s generation absorb the whole burden of energy supply?” By spreading out the costs over the actual lifespan of the infrastructure “everybody will pay their fair share for the time they are a customer,” Rinaldi said. His government has spent a considerable amount rebuilding the system while shutting down coal-fired power plants to improve air quality in Ontario, which he said made it difficult to keep hydro bills from rising – roughly double what they were a decade ago. “If it was easy it would have been done a long time ago,” said Rinaldi, who intimated the Liberals are not yet done. “This is something that is so important we’re still not finished,” he said. “We’re going to keep on looking for ways to improve the system, improve the rates ... If there are other opportunities we will follow them through whenever that might be.”

Reducing hydro rates seen as “a small step” toward long-term solution
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Water fountains good. Water bottles bad Dear Editor, During a recent visit to the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre, I was most impressed to see the new signs attached to the hydration stations. Excellent! They explain the numerous reasons why we should all be using reusable water bottles rather than the planet-destroying plastic bottles. Each sign contains different information. A digital counter attached to the water station is updated each time someone refills their reusable bottle showing how many plastic bottles have been saved at that particular station. A novel,
but very effective awareness tool. All visitors to the QSWC should make a point of reading the signs. The unnecessary use of single-use plastic water bottles is a huge worldwide problem that must be addressed. The Quinte Chapter of Council of Canadians congratulates the City of Belleville, and in particular the Green Task Force, for taking such positive action in this regard. May this awareness and willingness to act spread across our community. Jennifer Sturgeon Council of Canadians Quinte

BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Trent Hills – Jeff Hamilton, chair of Trent Hills and District Chamber of Commerce and plant manager of Dart Cup in Campbellford, said he’s “pleased” Premier Kathleen Wynne’s government “has finally decided to address” the issue of “spiralling hydro rates.” However, his group and the Ontario Chamber of Commerce will still push for change and insist the government “continue to look at ways to put a permanent cost reduction in place to ensure long-term sustainability,” he said. Re-amortizing Hydro One’s debt over a longer period of time won’t alleviate the concerns of businesses which include hydro rates that remain “a barrier for growth,” Hamilton said. “We need to get to the root causes of why we got to where we are today.” Hydro rates have a “severe effect on our costs” which can’t be passed on entirely to customers in the price of its finished goods, he said. Among the new measures announced last week that will see residential hydro bills cut by 25 per cent this summer was an expansion of the Industrial Conservation Initiative program. “There were special incentives for industry before but the threshold for the amount of usage was quite high,” MPP Lou Rinaldi said. The threshold is being lowered from 1 mW to 500 kW to target small manufacturing and industrial consumers. “The majority of businesses should qualify for some kind of reduction and that’s based on time of use,” as well as “other caveats,” Rinaldi said. Hamilton estimated the hydro bill at Dart’s Campbellford plant has increased by 20 to 30 per cent. There are other places in North America that “make things attractive to do business,” he noted.
“There are no plans at this time for Dart to go anywhere,” having been in the community for more than 30 years, but the reality is that while it “might be able to ... weather the storm, a lot of businesses can’t.” The provincial government “recognized that Ontario has had enough” by reducing hydro rates even further but it “was a small step,” Hamilton said. “We want to see long-term sustainability.” Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan, who’s been a fierce critic of the government’s handling of the Hydro One portfolio, said its latest move “may perhaps be too little too late” as the Liberals prepare for next year’s election. Their motivation was “purely political, not that it wasn’t also the right thing to do,” he said. “If it wasn’t so blatantly clear that Ontarians are pissed right off it never would have happened because this government has been that arrogant ... We have told them time and time again this is not affordable, it’s not reasonable.” Macmillan cited “a list of boondoggles the last decade,” including the decision to sell off 60 per cent of Hydro One to pay down debt and to fund infrastructure projects. “When a corporation starts to sell off its assets off the end is near. What do you do for an encore?” he said, “especially when its a successful revenue generator. Now you’ve lost that income as well.” Rinaldi acknowledged the challenges being faced by companies as well as their “struggles” but he noted “Ontario is still the number one place (in Canada) for foreign investments” and has the lowest industrial and commercial taxes in the country. “When you look at the big picture, things are not all that drastic,” he said, adding: “Can we do better? Absolutely.

Behind the Camera: In front of a bull moose Two of North America’s most renowned outdoor documentary filmmakers and photographers also call Centre Hastings home and will share their latest stories in an upcoming speaker series presentation. On March 23 in Belleville, John and Janet Foster present ‘Behind the Camera: Travels with John and Janet,’ the finale in the Winter Speaker Series hosted by the Hastings Stewardship Council. The filming assignments of the Fosters for CBC, TVOntario, and the Discovery Channel have taken them all over Canada. Through their films and slide shows they continue to share their own passion for Canada’s wild places and the diversity of our wildlife. In the late 1960s, John and
Janet’s passion for canoeing and nature photography began in Algonquin Park, a place still close to their hearts. Canoeing deep into the park allows these explorers to film wildlife of all kinds in their natural habitat. This will be a personal show illustrating the Fosters’ evolution as canoeists and filmmakers. Those who attend the evening presentation will get to see images of the allure of Georgian Bay, Killarney, and the Bruce Peninsula with their stunning landscapes and waterscapes - among the best places in Canada for hiking and canoeing. Share a trip to Nova Scotia to witness spectacular shorebird migrations around the Bay of Fundy, and to the Annapolis Valley for the spectacle of wintering Bald Eagles.
The themes of this show are a love of canoeing and nature photography, and “knowing when to be in the right place, at the right time.” Nature enthusiasts, travelers and photography /film lovers, say organizers, will be fascinated with the professional images and the flow of technical expertise. Behind the Camera: Travels with John and Janet on Thursday, March 23 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Gerry Masterson Community Hall (Thurlow Hall), 516 Harmony Rd. in Belleville. An entrance fee of $5 (or a donation) will help cover costs; children are free. For more information, contact Matt Caruana at 613-391-9034 or info@ hastingsstewardship.ca.

Despite Wynne’s move, hydro situation still a mess says Smith BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville -- The Ontario government has announced plans to reduce residential and small business hydro rates by 17 to 25 per cent, but the move won’t solve the bigger problem of soaring costs and will hurt customers more in the long run, says Prince Edward-Hastings’s Member of Provincial Parliament. “It’s a desperate move by a desperate premiere and a desperate government,” said Todd Smith, who also serves at the Progressive Conservative’s energy critic. In an interview with the Belleville News on Friday, March 3 -- one of dozens he participated in with media across the province following Thursday’s announcement -- Smith urged Ontarians not to be fooled by the news. The Progressive Conserva-
tives have long argued that high hydro rates are a result of years of Liberal mismanagement on the energy file. The party is telling Ontarians that, if elected in June of 2018, the PCs will propose eliminating the Green Energy Act, which they say has awarded too many unnecessary renewable energy hydro contracts. Smith said his party’s in favour of cancelling planned contracts for the future and renegotiating ones that exist. Liberal premiere Kathleen Wynne, whose popularity is plummeting in polls, said the plan involves re-financing a plan to pay for hydro assets that will require future generations to pay more costs. She told reporters “it’s fairer, because it doesn’t ask this generation of hydro customers alone to pay the freight for everyone before and after.” Smith said that solution is ir-
responsible. “Instead of tackling the root cause, they’ve decided to stretch out the cost that electricity customers will have to pay for an extra 10 years. Our kids and our grandkids are going to be paying for the electricity we’re using today.” Because the Liberals have a majority government, the plan does not require support from the PCs or the NDP to pass. Smith said he’s happy that hydro customer who are struggling to pay bills will get some relief, but said “it’s not the fix we need.” He believes the move is solely to appease voter anger, leading up to the election next June, when rising hydro rates are expected to be a major issue. Smith has not presented any statement on how his Tories would provide the so-called fix to which he refers, however.

There will be opportunities for congregational singing on favourite hymns, plus the traditional chants and canticles associated with the service, sung by the guest choir, which, formed in 1891 is now one of the handful of all-male church choirs remaining in North America. Belleville’s own Christ Church enjoyed a strong reputation with its all-male choir for many decades, especially in the 1980s, but that, too, has become a mixed choir. The Latreilles admit the programs they offer are often hard core classical music, but they contend they remain the peak of beauty when it comes to music. Capacity audiences for recent concerts indicate that a large number International of city and area music lovers share their enthusiasm.

The men and boys choir of Christ Church Cathedral, Ottawa, comes to St. Thomas Anglican Church for its March musical offering to the public on Sunday March 19 for a concert performance of the much-loved Anglican Evensong at 4:30 p.m. This series of concerts over the past couple of years or so is an effort by the church’s music team, Matthieu and Francine Latreille to present and encourage good music in the acoustically-rich sanctuary.

The Old Church Theatre at 940 Bonisteel Rd. is celebrating St. Patrick’s Day on Friday, March 17 with a Classic Irish stew, your favourite brew, and the music of the County’s own Celtic trio, Seventh Town. The band features musicians Martin Smit on guitar and vocals, Trisha Elliott on vocals and tin whistle, and Meghan Balogh on fiddle and vocals. Chef Matt James of The Ramblin’ Pit puts his BBQ spin on an Irish Stew and will start serving when doors open at 6:30. The show starts at 7 p.m. An old church is a great place to enjoy some Irish fare and Seventh Town’s traditional and contemporary folk songs, reels, and jigs from Irish, and Canadian traditions. Tickets are $20 to include the supper or $15 if you’ve stuffed yourself beforehand and only have room for the music, which would be a shame indeed, say organizers. Reservations are required so book online now at oldchurch.ca or call (613) 848-1411.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
A history lesson on Catholic school funding Re: Why is there duality in school funding? For the answer to that question the writer needs to study the history of Canada, go back before the BNA, the development of the Catholic education system and the protestant system which followed much later. Canadians tend to overlook the fact that the original inhabitants of this country were the Indians who they had their own beliefs which was neither Catholic nor Protestant. It was a French explorer by the name of Jacques
Cartier who discovered this land in the 1500s. He was followed by a succession of discoverers and most notably by Samuel de Champlain who discovered “New France” in the early 1600s and founded what is now Quebec City. Eventually all this “it’s mine” and no its not “it’s mine” led to the BNA Act which was passed to set the legal ground rules for Canada and divvy up the powers between the provinces and the federal government. Today taxpayers have a choice of either
supporting the public school system or the catholic school system but they don’t support both. The Hasting and Prince Edward District School Board and the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board are supported by a portion of the taxes collected by their respective municipalities which then goes to support either one or the other of those school boards. Something else that tax dollars support are our libraries through the Ontario government’s Ministry of Tourism, Culture and
Sport. From their website “A strong library system is the cornerstone of a strong community. It contributes to education, literacy and life-long learning in Ontario communities. Municipal bylaws create Ontario’s public libraries and public library boards govern them.” I enjoy my local newspaper but I have found the best place to get an answer to a question is at the local library where staff is extremely helpful in locating reference material for me to find an answer to the question. Libraries
also provide access to the Internet and finally there is always Wikipedia. However the present school system may eventually change, as according to the Star apparently “Ontario’s Catholic elementary schools are quietly opening their doors to students of all faiths, blurring the lines even more between the Catholic and public systems and raising questions about the roles — and need — for both.” Mary Culloden Belleville

BY SUE DICKENS
Belleville — Betty Cornelius, founder of CANGRANDS Kinship National Support, has been given the news she is one of 10 recipients of the Women of Worth Award offered annually by L’Oreal Paris. “This award recognizes women who are making an extraordinary difference in the world,” she said. “I am being honoured for my 24 years of volunteer service to kinship families across Canada.” Cornelius’s charity CANGRANDS will receive a $10,000 grant from L’Oréal Paris. “I'm thrilled about this amazing recognition and the grant, which is so helpful for kinship support,” said Cornelius. She and the nine other recipients also have the chance to win another $10,000 with an online voting process. Getting the word out, Cornelius has asked supporters to vote online daily for CANGRANDS at www.womenofworth.ca, a process that continues until 11:59 p.m. on March 6. “I was nominated by my friend Catharine Brazeau-Cornell from Hamilton, a grandmother who is raising a five-year-old and I’ve been helping her,” she commented. Cornelius has also been nominated for Hidden Heroes: Faces of Quinte. “But this is the first time I have won something big,” she said with excitement. “It’s always an honour to be nominated, and
if it gets us a bit of press coverage, all the better because it really helps spread the word about the organization.” Cornelius said if she wins the second $10,000, she would like to host a special camp. “If I had a magic wand I would do a camp where grandparents and grandchildren go to get for a break from their daily life,” she commented. Cornelius did host a camp for 13 years but “then I lost the sponsor,” so there has not been a camp for the past three years. “If I can win another $10,000, then for $20,000 I could look at doing a weekend camp.” Cornelius is also currently looking into setting up a “1-800-warmline,” for telephone calls, which volunteers could take turns answering as she is finding the inquiries and need for support from grandparents growing at a phenomenal rate. In Belleville alone she estimates there are “possibly 3,000 grandparents raising their grandkids ... and we are helping 150.” As for the contest, Cornelius is heading to Toronto this week “on their dime,” for a meet and greet and press coverage and on Wednesday, March 8 the presentation takes place. To contact Betty Cornelius, call 613-3344246 or email: grandma@cangrands.com for more information.

The Good Earth Insurance – a subject that should be top of mind
Dan Clost Gentle Reader, some of you might think that I go on about this a titch too often. I ask you to consider that I view myself as a professional in the horticultural industrynot an expert- and through the simple fact of where my workplace is, I hear and see the news and, yes, the gossip, of our trade. I don’t believe we’ve sunk to the same depth of litigation as our southern
neighbours but the horror stories are out there. So, although this is a gardening column, we can’t always keep stuffing our snoots into fragrant blooms and call that gardening. Not all fragrances are pleasant. It is so easy to get caught up in the visioning that you forget to see some of the practicalities. Many folks, especially those of you who are legitimately capable when it comes to planning out a renovation, take on the mantle of general contractor, and hire various companies to handle the work as necessary. That is all well and good, but did you check with your home insurance provider? Oh, and did you remember to purchase General Liability Insurance and register with the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB)? Do you realize that if you hire ABK Landscaping (an uninsured fictitious company), you are responsible for all of their activities including their work, damages to others, and any
health claims ABK’s employees might file against you? Recently, it was my distinct pleasure to have spent some time as an instructor in the current Horticultural Apprenticeship Course. A portion of the course covered some of the regulations, acts and by-laws by which their landscape businesses must operate. There are reasons for these compliance requirements and all professional companies will be on board with them. The list is more than impressive, it is staggering. One business owner quipped that he needs two trucks at every job site; one for tools and workers and the second transports the paperwork. However, that’s their problem not yours- unless you make it so, however unintentionally. GR, make sure you do your homework before you hire someone to work on your property, in whatever capacity. Here are some considerations taken from the Canada
Mortgage and Housing Corporation Fact Sheet- Hiring A Contractor. You want to find out as much as you can, so ask a lot of questions, such as: How long have you been in business? What work are you, or your subcontractors, licensed to do, e.g., electrical, plumbing? What kind of work do you specialize in? Have you done a similar job before? Will you use your own crew for the work or will you subcontract all or part of the job? How would you handle a specific problem related to this project (e.g., water flow)? How will you deal with the health and energy efficiency aspects of the job?
How and when do you clean up, particularly fine dust? What work schedule will you follow? What kind of warranty do you offer and what does it cover? Do you carry workers’ compensation and liability insurance? Will you provide a written contract? Will you take out all required permits (e.g., building, plumbing, electrical)? You won’t offend reputable firms with questions. If the contractor plans to do the whole job alone, make sure he or she has all the necessary skills and qualifications. Most importantly, be sure you can get along with the contractor. You want a

about the “social cleansing” that took place in an attempt to rid Cambodia of its urban and educated classes and create “a pure, self-sufficient peasant society” where the survivors would live in the countryside and basically work themselves to death. All others were rounded up as “enemies”, imprisoned, tortured, made to confess to made-up crimes, and then executed (about 2 million of them!). I visited the former school that was converted into the Tuol Sleng Prison and used as the main interro-
gation centre of the Khmer Rouge. It’s now kept open as the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, a sobering memorial to this gruesome history. I saw some of the instruments of torture that were used there and the black and white portraits on the walls of many of the former prisoners. I learned how most of the inmates/victims ended up dead and were then trucked to nearby “killing fields” and buried in mass graves. I visited a killing field and a nearby monumental glass stupa, where thousands of human skulls were displayed, and I found this so disturbing and horrifying that I didn’t even want to take photos of this sight to include with this article. I also met one of the few survivors of the Tuol Sleng Prison, Chum Mey, and he now spends much of his time at this genocide museum, telling visitors about the horrors of the past, for he believes that it’s important to remember this civil war. He’s even told his story in a book entitled “Survivor”, and I now have a copy of it. He tells of confessing to a ridiculous series of crimes after being tortured, and he admits that he “was ready to say anything to stop the pain.” He also admits that it was only his skill as a mechanic that kept him alive, for the Khmer Rouge used him to do repairs. However, he now, after all these years, identifies with his torturers rather than condemns them. He says that “I consider them victims like me because they had to follow other people’s orders. How can I say I would have behaved differently? Would I have had the strength to refuse to kill, if the penalty was my own death?” Youk Chhang, the Director of the Documentation Centre of Cambodia, has stated that “a society cannot know itself if it does not have an accurate memory of its own history”. Therefore, it’s very important to preserve and remember the past. I found this historic tour both educational and disturbing – yet anoth-

er example of a common theme that I so often talked about in my literature classes, of “humans’ inhumanity to other humans”. I was also rather shocked at discovering my lack of knowledge about this entire historic event, for most of my remembrance of this time period in Asia was about the Vietnam War, not the details of this horrific event in Cambodia. But even more effective than all of the above, for me, was the personal story that I heard from my guide, Sky, for he recounted his growing up during this horrific time in his country. He was just a youngster when he was separated from his family and had to hide in the jungle. Several of his siblings died during the conflict, including a brother who literally starved to death. Sky himself survived by eating grass “like a cow” - and lots of snakes and insects. He remembers being tortured with fire ants and witnessing the deaths of many children. However, he made it, as he repeated over and over, through that horrible “three years, eight months, and 20 days”, and he was finally able to start school (at the age of 14). He was one of the “lucky” ones. As we rode on our tour bus, it was almost as if Sky needed to tell us his story, and we seemed to be all held spellbound, as if in a trance, as he shared his past with us. Indeed, this personal experience was the most effective. I usually write travel pieces about wonderful places that I’ve visited, and today’s story of torture and death doesn’t fit. However, historically significant destinations are important to many travelers, so I decided to write about this. In fact, today’s article reminds me of the time that I visited a German concentration camp (Dachau) many years ago, for it’s sometimes important to remember and reflect on these past atrocities. As the philosopher, essayist, and novelist George Santayana once stated, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” For More Information: www. vikingrivercruises.com; www.historyplace.com/worldhistory/genocide/ pol-pot.htm Travel and accommodations provided by Viking River Cruises
Westben’s public rehearsal features Joe Callahan Trio Campbellford — The Joe Callahan Trio will be hosting a public rehearsal at the Clock Tower Cultural Centre on Thursday, March 9 as an extension of Westben’s popular monthly song circle. “It will not be a regular song circle, but there will be a chance to ask questions and if time allows, we'll jam with participants,” Callahan told the Trent Hills News. The event begins at 6:30 p.m. “We want to spread the word on this project at the Clock Tower,” he added. Westben’s community engagement coordinator Nancy Coulter noted, “The rehearsal event will offer the opportunity to ask questions, and if time allows, a jam session.” Westben’s monthly song circle is designed for musicians of all types and experience levels who are asked to bring their instrument, voice and favourite songs “to share in a supportive and fun environment.” Callahan, a longtime well known Quinte area musician, has been offering song circles at the Clock Tower Cultural Centre since October 2016. The circles offer a place for people developing their musical abilities in a focused way, where they can choose to play or listen and solicit feedback on their progress from others in the circle. Song circles at the Clock Tower with Callahan are held the second Thursday of the month at 6:30 p.m. and are open to all ages.
The Joe Callahan Trio will be making another appearance at the Clock Tower; this time they will be opening later this month for nationally recognized Canadian blues singer-song writer Rick Fines on March 31 at 8 p.m. It’s all part of the Loyal Blues Fellowship series of concerts called “Blues in Small Places,” which is being held in conjunction with its very popular Blues in the Schools (BITS) program as part of its 10 year anniversary. The Loyal Blues Fellowship Inc. is a not-for profit group of community members that supports the development of the Blues in the Schools program and their objective is to bring the blues to the Quinte area on an ongoing basis. In fact, Fines has been to Kent Public School in the past where he held a workshop with the students. The BITS program has seen musicians come to classes at schools throughout this area not just in Belleville but also in Campbellford, Warkworth, Frankford, Havelock, Madoc, Picton, Trenton, etc. “The workshop at the Clock Tower is the first of its kind at the facility and hopes are that the song circles will grow in attendance and be a regular part of Campbellford’s cultural activities,” said Coulter. For more information, contact Callahan at joecallahan48@gmail. com or call the Westben box office at 705-653-5508. Joe Callahan started playing music professionally at the age of 13
as a singer and drummer covering Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Beatles, and the BeeGees in the mid-sixties and continued for 10 years, while in the process, supporting his education and supplementing his income. Today as a singer-songwriter and guitar player, he performs often but irregularly at events that have social justice underpinnings. He plays regularly with Quinte area musicians at jams he co-hosts with Peggy Voigt and other Loyal Blues Fellowship musicians. He does a limited number of performances a year as a single and once or twice a year with the Loyal Blues Band where fun and improvisation supersede anything suggesting formulaic arrangements.

Passed away on Thursday, February 23, 2017, age 88 years. Kate Cattell of Brighton, Toronto, London (UK), Campbeltown and New York, daughter of the late Donald and Catherine, O’May and wife of the late Leslie Bernard Cattell. Loving mother of Fraser, Christine and Roger Cattell. Greatly missed by her grandchildren, Kyra, Nolan, Colin, Remy, Reilly of whom she was so proud. Kate lived a remarkable life through the austerity of the Depression and the violence of the Blitz; eventually evacuated with her brother from London to live with remote relatives in Scotland. She moved to Canada with her young family in 1959, and developed a tremendous love for her new home. She was always known for her perennial smile and her ability to see the silver lining and lighten anyone’s load. Kate loved a good time and found pleasure in the simplest of moments. Her family and friends miss her unwavering devotion to others, and her warm and generous spirit. Kate left an indelible print on everyone she met. She will never be forgotten and she will always be cherished. A Celebration of Catherine’s Life will be held at a later date by the waters of Lake Ontario. As an expression of sympathy,in lieu of flowers, donations to the Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society, (presquilepointlighthouse.ca/ donation.html), or the Northumberland Community Care Brighton, (commcare. ca), would be appreciated by the family as Kate loved the town of Brighton.

Dancing With Stars moves to Wellington
Williams, centre, gets to reprieve a double clinch with Jennifer Keiver, left and coach “France,” (For the Love of Dance studio) at the news conference for this year’s show. Jack Evans/Metroland
BY JACK EVANS
It was an excited crowd at Belleville’s downtown Capers Friday evening as the lineup for this year’s Dancing With the Stars competition was announced. Volunteer & Information Quinte director Brenda Snider noted that this marks the 10th anniversary of the hugely successful fund raising project, “Our largest fund raiser of the year,” she said, making it of extra significance. She also announced that with construction under way in the Sports and Wellness Centre, this year’s event will be held in the Essroc Centre at Wellington. “We’ve checked out this location and it is excellent for our event,” she said, “and they are so
welcoming.” She also noted that many competitors in former years have re-entered the lists. The winners of last year’s event, Ryan Wiliams and Jennifer Keiver, will open the show, followed by nine competing teams. The intermission will include a performance by the Trenton-based Liz Lougheed-Brown company plus a couple of songs by Jeanette Arsenault. Entries for the competition are based on individual entries, not teams, Snider explained. The organizers pair these up to match interests in dance style and music and more. Each team is assigned an individual coach-trainer, who advises on music, costume and dance type. “Be sure to listen to your trainer,” Snider advised several times. Main news of the evening was the lineup for this year’s competition, to be held Friday, June 9, starting at 7:30 p.m. in the Essroc Centre. They are: Gordana Vranic and Darek Wierzbicki, plus coach Kristie Parks; Cassandra Bonn and Andy Caletti, and coach, Sheri Thompson of the Ireland School of Dance; Lauren Franz-Reid and Chris Crawford with Alicia Sewell, Astounding Heights Dance Academy; Jennie Reilly and Tim Durkin plus Lisa Sinclair; Caroline Grainger and Todd Bennett with “France” (For the Love of Dance;) Meredith Leadbeater and Metroland Media’s Michael Kelly with Caroline Smith; Christine Wilkinson and Richard Floyd, and coach Liz Loughheed-Brown of Dance With Miss Liz; Lisa Vance and Shane Hoskin with Tawny Jackson (Tawny’s School of Dance;) finally Belleville Coun. Kelly McCaw and Brett Davis with Daryl Geesey (A Step Ahead Dance.) Tickets in advance are $20, $25 at the door, with reserved tables at $250 for six persons.
