YOU R INDEPENDENT GROCER
News - Belleville’s Christ Church kicked off 2015 with a special service of holy communion and a levee to mark its 150th year of service to the community. Presiding for the service and the levee was the Rt. Rev. Michael Oulton, Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Ontario, which spans from Trenton to the Gananoque area. The event drew several hundred parishioners and guests from area churches and many former parishioners to the busy west side church. The congregation had its beginnings in the mid 1800s at a time when aristocratic traditions reigned supreme at the original St. Thomas Church, inspiring the Rev. Septimus Jones to form a new congregation on the west side of the river, abandoning practices like prominent families owning their own pews. The opening and dedication of the original church building was on Jan. 1, 1865. It was commonly referred to as “the people’s church.� That building burned down and was replaced by the present classic gothic stone structure in 1881. A key partner in the new building at a different location, its present corner of Coleman and Everett streets, at the time was the Masonic Lodge, whose symbols are commemorated in one of the church’s stained glass windows. Other major events set for the tercentenary year include a concert by the Three Cantors, a trio of Canadian Anglican priests on Sept. 24. A service on April 9 will commemorate the original first service in the new church

on April 9, 1882 and a high service will be held to mark the 150th anniversary on Pentecost, May 24, again with Bishop Oulton in attendance. Over its many years, apart from regular services of worship, Christ Church has long been a key community resource for meetings and events by many community groups. For many years it boasted one of the best men and boys choirs in the region with a much-recognized music program. That led to the term “the cathedral of the west� for many bishops and clergy in the Kingston-based diocese. The current rector is the Rev. Michael Rice who moved here from Newfoundland to take over the congregation of approximately 200 in 2012. “It’s a nice congregation and I appreciate their many ministries and talents,� said Rice.

Hospice Quinte to help people Dump the Plump
News – Belleville – If your New Year’s resolution is to lose weight in 2015, Hospice Quinte is running a program that should give you plenty of motivation. The non-profit organization is launching its annual Dump the Plump program with a weigh-in on Tuesday, Jan. 13, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at its 225 Dundas Street East office. Dump the Plump is a weight loss challenge program that runs through June. Participants pay $25 to register and are eligible for prizes throughout the five months. Those who achieve significant weight loss on a monthly basis, may receive one of several small prizes, said Rachel Pearsall, Hospice’s Community Relations Co-ordinator. At the end of June cash prizes are also given out to overall male, female and team weight loss winners. The winners are determined based on the percentage of body fat that they’ve lost, not the actual pounds. Actual pounds are counted privately and not shared, Hospice insists. The winning individuals could win up to $1,000 and the winning team could
win up to $1,500, depending Pearsall said the contest, 75 people entered. on the number of people who now in its 18th year, always “If people have a New Year’s register this year. has a good turnout. Last year, resolution that they can tie in with this, that’s great,” she said. “It’s a new year and a new start.” Pearsall added that the challenge fits with Hospice’s mandate to promote healthy living and a healthy community. Moreover, it gives people an opportunity to learn about Hospice programs. Hospice Quinte provides palliative care to terminally ill individuals, and support to their caregivers, in the Belleville, Quinte West, and South Hast-
ings regions. This service is offered in the person’s own home, long-term care homes, retirement homes as well as Belleville General and Trenton Memorial hospitals. “Besides raising money for Hospice, we like to get our name out there,” Pearsall said, explaining the importance of the program. “It’s nice to have (participants) come in to the office – it’s very home like - and it breaks down the walls of what is a Hospice.” After Tuesday’s initial weight-
in, participants will be encouraged to come back for monthly weigh-ins on the second Tuesday of each month, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., leading up to the final weigh-in in June. Here are winners from the 2014 edition of Dump the Plump: Team winner: TDL Canada, with a combined loss of 9.89 per cent of their total body weight Individuals: Gwen BrownPerrault, who lost 20.83 per cent of her body weight; and Robert Kerr, who lost 19.73 per cent of his body weight.

New Year’s Levee welcomes the city to 2015
By Kate Everson
News - Quinte West – Mayor Jim Harrison welcomed guests to city hall on January 1 for the city’s New Year’s Levee. “City council is entering the first year of our four year mandate,” Harrison said to the guests, which included staff, councillors and family, local dignitaries and military, fire and police representatives. “I am very appreciative of the support received from council, city staff and the community,” he said. “I know every councillor will work hard for the good of the city and when final decisions are made it will be for the benefit of all of Quinte West.” Harrison also acknowledged the work of volunteers in the community including the Trenton Kiwanis Club who recently raised over $102,000 for the Salvation Army at a luncheon. “That was raised in two and a half hours,” he added. “It was a milestone and a great accomplishment.” Harrison commented on the excellent partnerships with the provincial and federal governments and personally thanked MPP Lou Rinaldi for assistance with funding. He noted the city is hoping to get approval for $4 million for the Wastewater Treatment Plant second stage upgrades. “It will cost $70 million to bring the plant up to standards,” he added. “We are doing it in stages.” He said the upgrades are important for the quality and quantity of the effluent into the Bay of Quinte. “We won’t send any cheques back!” he smiled. Harrison said one of the top items the city will be focusing on this year is the Trenton hospital, ensuring that services are maintained. “It’s unfortunate about the cuts to healthcare,” he added,

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, There was a time in our world when telling the truth was expected. It was looked upon as being ethical, trustworthy, honest and respectable. Today, TV ads, focused on young people appear to imply it’s ok to stretch the truth, to lie to avoid consequences. It’s a message that’s rampant throughout our society; since 2003 we’ve had an iconic example of this trend with the Liberal gov-
ernment in Ontario. Their mantra seems to be, “Lie even when the truth will do.” Their scandals and lies are unprecedented in Ontario politics. There have been 30 scandals under the Lib’s watch in the past 11 years and they’ve lied about them all. The most recent is the smart meter fiasco … almost $1 billion over cost; the obscene costs and corruption of the Pan Am games, MaRS, and now the nasty little back room dealing in
Liberals and lies
Sudbury. As this group has a majority, we will continue to be subjected to more of the same, even though Miss Wynn flails her arms around and decries any wrongdoing in the past or future. A few mouths need to be washed with a soap solution. The nasty outcome of the 2014 election is that the majority of the Liberal’s votes came from the GTA. Look at the map. The Liberals have very few seats East, North or West of the GTA. This

part of the province is blue with a bit of orange. So where is our representation? Those politicians representing the blue and orange and speaking to our concerns will do their best, but with a Liberal majority, who will listen? Just leave the constituents outside of the GTA to suffer, take their tax dollars of course; leave our local hospitals in ridiculous deficit mode while we pay transport for athletes travelling to the Pan Am games from around the world so the folks in the GTA can be entertained. Funding the Liberal’s indiscretions has cost us all. For sure there is a carbon tax coming down the pipe this year. The Liberal’s biggest concern is being re-elected every four years; they will certainly reward those who put them in power. Those in the GTA. We have seniors, children, students and the working poor suffering in rural Ontario, all because of Liberal policies and poor decisions. Ask a rural homeowner or farmer about their Hydro bill. The provincial debt is $22,550 for each man, woman and child. This debt will be passed on to our children and their children. Our premier is part of the McGuinty legacy. A leopard does not change his/ her spots. I recall farmers, tractors and boots on the ground at Queen’s Park ten years ago in 2005. Perhaps it’s time for another rural revolution. Shelby J. Lawrence, Stirling/Rawdon
OPINION
The “Oil War”
Editorial - “Did you know there’s an oil war? And the war has an objective: to destroy Russia,” said Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in a live television speech last week. “It’s a strategically planned war … also aimed at Venezuela, to try and destroy our revolution and cause an economic collapse.” It’s Gwynne Dyer the United States that has started the war, Maduro said, and its strategy was to flood the market with shale oil and collapse the price. Russia’s President Vladimir Putin agrees. “We all see the lowering of oil prices,” he said recently. “There’s lots of talk about what’s causing it. Could it be an agreement between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia to punish Iran and affect the economies of Russia and Venezuela? It could.” The evil Americans are at it again. They’re fiendishly clever, you know. We are hearing this kind of talk a lot these days, especially from countries that have been hit hard by the crash in the oil price. Last Thursday Brent crude hit $55 per barrel, precisely half the price it was selling for last June. The Obama administration’s announcement last week that it is preparing to allow the export of some US oil to foreign markets may send it even lower. (US crude oil exports have been banned since 1973.) When the oil price collapses, countries that depend very heavily on oil exports to make ends meet are obviously going to get hurt. President Putin, who has let Russia get itself into a position where more than half its budget revenue comes from oil and gas sales (some estimates go as high as 80 percent) is in deep trouble: the value of the rouble has halved, and the economy has already slipped into recession. Venezuela, where government spending is certainly more than 50 percent dependent on oil exports, is in even deeper trouble – and, like Putin in Russia, President Maduro of Venezuela sees this as the result of an American plot. Various commentators in the West have taken up the chorus, and the conspiracy theory is taking root all over the developing world. So let us consider whether there really is an “oil war”. The accusation is that the United States is deliberately “flooding the market” with shale oil, that is, with oil that has only become available because of the fracking techniques that have become widespread, especially in the US, over the past decade. Moreover, Washington is doing this for political purposes, not just because it makes economic sense for the United States to behave

like this. In order to believe this conspiracy theory, however, you really have to think that a rational US government, acting in its own best economic interests, would do the opposite: suppress the fracking techniques and keep American oil production low, in order to keep its imports up and the oil price high. But why on earth would it want to do that? You will note that I am going along with the notion that all important business decisions in the United States are ultimately made by the US government. That is ridiculous, of course, but we don’t need to refute this delusion in order to settle the question at hand, so let it pass. Hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) as a means of recovering gas and oil, particularly from shale formations, has its roots in early attempts dating back as far as 1947, but it was the development of cheap and reliable techniques for horizontal drilling in the late 1980s that slowly began to transform the US oil industry. By 2012, over a million fracking operations had been performed in US wells – but in 2012, last year’s events in Ukraine were unforeseen and the United States and Russia were still on relatively good terms. Many oil-exporting countries were worried by the prospect that rising US oil and gas production would shrink American imports and thereby cut their own profits, but it was still seen as a supply-and-demand problem, not a strategic manoeuvre. The operators wanted to make a profit, and Washington liked the idea that rising US domestic oil production might end the country’s dependence on imported oil from unstable places so much that it gave tax breaks and even some direct subsidies to the companies developing the fracking techniques. But that’s no more than what any other government of an oil-producing country would have done. So did the US develop fracking to hurt its enemies? The dates just don’t work for Russia: fracking was already making US production soar years before Washington started to see Moscow as an enemy. As for Venezuela, it continues to be the fourth-largest exporter of oil to the United States, at a time when the glut of oil on the market would let Washington cut Venezuela out of the supply chain entirely. And Barack Obama is not opening the floodgates for massive American oil exports that will make the oil price fall even lower. The US still imports a lot of oil, and will go on doing so for years. He has only authorised the export of a particular kind of ultra-light oil that is in over-supply on the domestic market: only about one million barrels of it, with actual exports not starting until next August. If this is a conspiracy, it’s a remarkably slowmoving one.

If you loved the 2014 elections, guess what’s next By Stephen Petrick Editorial – As we say hello to 2015, let’s recap some of the highlights of 2014. In January, something we don’t remember happened. In February and March nothing happened because there was too much snow. In the summer we were drunk and the rest of the year we spent mourning the end of summer. I’m making a mockery of these year-in-review stories, because I’m going to let you in on a secret. Media organizations do them to fill space or airwaves during the holiday period when there’s no news going on and no reporters want to do real reporting. I wonder if the concept of a new year was started by the media. Don’t most of us think of September as the start of a new year, anyway? All kidding aside, year-in-review stories are sometimes interesting and I’m going to recap a couple things that happened in the 2014 for the sake of introducing what we expect to be a big story in 2015. We had two elections, a provincial one in June and a municipal one in October. They set the stage for what should be an interesting federal election sometime in 2015. Yes, you’re probably sick of elections and statistics show that roughly one out of every two of you didn’t bother voting at the end of the two 2014 circuses. But elections are now bunched together closely now, so that administrations on all three levels can work in unison for the bulk of the terms. Prime Minister Stephen Harper is expected to call an election sometime soon, although we’re not sure exactly when. Voters in Belleville, Quinte West and Prince Edward County will have an opportunity to vote in a new federal riding, known as Bay of Quinte. Former Belleville Mayor Neil Ellis will represent the Liberals while former Belleville city councillor Jodie Jenkins will represent the Harper-led Conservatives. If people voted in federal elections on the strength of candidates’ experience alone, Ellis would win it hands down. He’s got two terms as a mayor under his belt, compared to Jenkins’ one term on city council. But Canadians tend to vote for party leaders, as opposed to local candidates and this whole region is already Tory blue. Belleville and Prince Edward County are currently represented by the Conservative’s Daryl Kramp and Quinte West-Northumberland is represented by the Conservative’s Rick

Norlock. The NDP and Greens haven’t publicly announced candidates yet but they’re an afterthought in this riding anyway. It’s clearly Jenkins’ to lose. If you love the drama of elections, this should have some. Ellis and Jenkins didn’t exactly get along well during the last four years on council and had one famous sparring match during a budget session last April. And believe me, each have people in their corner who are already besmirching the other in conversations around town. As for Kramp, he plans on running in the new Hastings Lennox & Addington riding, a good decision for him considering his roots in Hastings County and his long-time involvement in organizations there. He’ll be up against the Liberals Mike Bossio, who I used to speak to regularly when I worked in Napanee and he was a spokesperson for a group opposing the expansion of the Richmond Landfill. Both are likeable guys, but it says here that Kramp wins this one in a landslide. I know he’s already trying to win over voters in Lennox & Addington because I’ve seen his name in a few press releases related to funding announcements in Napanee. I’m not sure if that’s appropriate, because he doesn’t represent that area yet, but, hey, you can’t blame him for trying. Two other new ridings make up our readership area. The riding of Northumberland-Peterborough South will include the communities of Brighton and most of Trent Hills. HavelockBelmont Methuen residents will vote in the new riding of Peterborough-Kwartha. The rejigging of these ridings could make for some wide open races, with new candidates. I don’t like making predictions in the newspaper because you end up looking like an idiot if you’re wrong, but, then again, no one like a fence sitter so I’ll make one here. Stephen Harper and the Conservatives will get a majority government in 2015. I’m sorry Justin Trudeau fans, but the young Liberal leader isn’t ready yet. And how could Thomas Mulcair ever exceed the faith that the late Jack Layton earned in 2011 for the NDP? But even if this one’s predictable, we can still enjoy the name-calling, the mud-slinging and the twisting of facts that all elections bring. If you liked the 2014 elections, you’ll love 2015.

TRAVEL
A Visit to Old San Juan, Puerto Rico
By John M. Smith
Our southern Caribbean cruise began/ended on the island of Puerto Rico, so we just had to take the time to add a tour of Old San Juan while on this fascinating island. After all, it’s the oldest settlement within Puerto Rico, and it has been declared as a National Historic Landmark District. This destination is also said to be the oldest city under U.S. jurisdiction (it’s an unincorporated territory of the U.S.), for Spain lost control of this archipelago as a result of its defeat in the Spanish-American War of
1898. Puerto Rico had become a Spanish possession after Christopher Columbus arrived there near the end of the 15th century and renamed it San Juan Bautista. A lieutenant under Columbus, Juan de Ponce de Leon, founded the first Spanish settlement on this island in 1508, and he later served as the island’s first governor (Ponce de Leon became well known for, among other things, his search for the Fountain of Youth and his discovery of Florida). There are still many reminders of these two explorers to

Hospital under the Mental Health Act. The individual had reportedly caused selfharm with a knife, resulting in minor injuries, and the weapon seizure was made to protect the individual and other occupants. The day before Christmas police were called on to settle a dispute involving the separation of property by previously cohabiting parties. The matter was resolved without charges. The same day StirlingRawdon police also investigated reports of harassing phone calls, a family dis-
pute, a threat of suicide and a 911 hang-up. According to the release, police have been vigilant about drinking and driving during the holiday season, including more frequent RIDE checks, and were pleased to report that while more than 200 vehicles were stopped on December 26, no charges or license suspensions were issued. Individuals with information regarding these or other police matters are asked to call the SRPS at 613-395-0844 or Crime Stoppers at 613-969-TIPS.

be found in Old San Juan, and there are even large statues of both men on display. In fact, Christopher Columbus has an important town square named after him, where his statue is prominently displayed, with a flag in his right hand and a globe resting in the palm of his left hand. There’s also a statue of Ponce de Leon that overlooks the Spanish El Morro Fortress, and there’s a Ponce de Leon Avenue, too. Also worthwhile is a visit to La Casa Blanca, “The White House” (which precedes the building in Washington, DC by hundreds of years), one of the oldest buildings in San Juan, built for Ponce de Leon in 1521 as both a home and a fort, and now used as an informative museum. While strolling through Old San Juan, we discovered a plethora of flat-roofed brick and stone buildings that dated back to the 16th and 17th centuries, narrow cobblestone streets, enchanting plazas, and fascinating fortresses. We eventually arrived at the Plaza de San Jose, where we found the San Jose Church, the second oldest in the western hemisphere. Juan Ponce de Leon was originally buried in the crypt of this old church, but his remains were later exhumed and placed in a white marble tomb within the nearby Cathedral of San Juan Bautista. Our walk also brought us to Old San Juan’s La Fortaleza, still the official residence of the governor, and called “The Fortress” because it was the very first defensive fortification built in the city. We also discovered that the Old Town had at one time, been surrounded by thick town walls with several large, wooden gates that closed every evening for safety. One of those city gates, the red San Juan Gate (Puerto de San Juan), still remains, and above it is the inscription “Benedictus qui venit in nomine domini” (“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord”). Outside this gate and these walls was the jail, in La Princesa, a building that has now been restored and houses the Puerto Rico Tourism Company. We couldn’t help but comment about how clever they had been back ‘in the good old days’ to keep the criminals outside the city walls! San Juan is still referred to as “The Walled City”, but it has grown far beyond those confines. It’s now possible to walk along the old city wall route on a footpath, the Paseo del Morro, or to stroll along the Paseo de la Princesa, a beautiful tree-lined street that will offer a great view across the bay of a golden cream-coloured building with smoke stacks and wind turbines, the Bacardi Rum Factory (tours of this facility are available). The previously mentioned El Morro Fortress was built in the 16th century, to guard the city from attack by sea, and it’s a very impressive six-level castle/ fortress, with cannons strategically positioned in its Water Battery area, to protect the city’s harbour area. Yet another Spanish fortress in Old San Juan, the St. Christopher Fort (Castillo de San Cris-

tobal), erected in the 17th century, offers the visitor a spectacular view from its Caballero Cavalier, a grand tunnel system to explore, and displays of military clothing and mortar shells within its walls. Both these fortresses are certainly worth checking out. Other points of interest in Old San Juan include the Raices Fountain with its collection of bronze statues commemorating Puerto Rico’s Taino, Spanish, and African heritage; the La Rogativa, a beautiful sculpture depicting a historical event of a British invasion and retreat; El Capitolio, the Capitol Building; the Alcadia, San Juan’s City Hall; the Teatro Tiapa, Teatro Theatre; Cristo Chapel, said to be built on the very spot where the builder’s life was saved when his runaway horse suddenly stopped on the edge of a towering cliff; and Pigeon Park where hundreds of pigeons can be seen and fed.

The Good Earth: Call before you dig. We’re familiar with this phrase and understand the reasoning behind it. But did you know that, in Ontario, it is the law?

a compost bin. You must have a copy of your locates to hand while the work is being done. Locate, in this sense, means to have someone actually show you where the underground cables, lines, pipes etc. are “located” on your property by means of spray paint or little flags. Contractors have long been familiar with this requirement and know who to call and when. Back in the day, it was not uncommon to make five or more calls to get your “locates.” FACTORY OUTLET STORE OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK! There were several drawbacks to this system.

hats to the folks on the other end of the phone because they have a long road ahead of them. There are some glitches yet to be worked out so put on your “patience” cap the first time you make contact. I wanted to know what a homeowner making a first contact would experience so I solicited the help of someone who is much smarter than I ever hope to be, is very computer and web literate and knows almost nothing about excavating and construction. Words are like chameleons, changing their meaning depending upon the context in which they are used. If a person is not aware of this, communication quickly goes awry. Think of the word “plant”. You might come up with several meanings but I doubt if you would equate it to buried infrastructure. So someone calling up to enquire about planting a plant, e.g. a tree, such as we gardeners might do, can find themselves having a parallel conversation where the same words are being used but intent of the communication is lost. Between online and direct phone conversations it was a 55-minute
Dan Clost exercise. You can go online by typing “on1call” in your browser but, if phrases like web portal and account migration are meaningless to you, you might best telephone them at 1-800-400-2255. This is a 24-hour service so, if you can, call them after business hours. This allows the contractors more rapid access to the system during their work hours and you will get an operator who doesn’t have a lit up board pressuring them to deal with you quickly. You might find yourself being directed to the web portal as my guinea pig caller was. Let the person know that you are not able to use the computer for this and they will take your request and questions verbally. So far, everyone that we have spoken to have been polite and helpful; it sometimes takes a while to find a common ground.

I’m pleased to say that Landscape Ontario Horticultural Trades Association was an integral participant in this process with Terry Murphy leading the way. As a result, Ontario Underground Infrastructure Notification System Act, 2012 was put into place and the provincial corporation Ontario One Call was created. All utility and service companies were required to register as members: municipalities, provinces and federal agencies were not.

Sports - Quinte West - The Trenton Rowing and Paddling Club (TRPC) is holding its third annual Funspiel Fund raiser on Saturday, February 7 at the Trenton Curling Club from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. “This is a fun event designed for non-curlers and curlers including a mix of fun and regular scoring, on and off ice games, coffee and snacks, lunch, prizes, cash bar and a silent auction,” says coordinator Robin Pilon. “No previous curling experience is required. Instruction will be provided.” You can register as an individual, couple or team of four at $60 per person and there are still a few spots left. Pilon encourages participants to dress it up in this year’s theme of the club colours of red and blue to have a chance at winning the Spirit Awards. “We are very fortunate to have a great curling facility in Trenton to be able to run a fund-raising event such as this,” she adds. The Trenton Curling Club members, executive and staff have been very supportive of the Trenton Rowing and Paddling Club right from its inception and this event is a good opportunity for

Paul Carr plans to bring critical thinking to council By Stephen Petrick
News – Belleville – Things will likely be much different for Paul Carr this time around on Belleville city council. Carr was voted back to council in the Oct. 27 municipal election as one of two Ward 2 Thurlow council-
lors. He served the ward from 2000 to 2003, but was voted out at the end of that term, an outcome he attributed to some of the challenges he faced as a young councillor with a young family (he and his wife had their youngest child during that term). Now with more time – and more
professional experience under his belt – he plans to bring some critical thinking to council. During an interview at the city’s New Year’s Levee, he wasn’t afraid to question the direction the city is taking on undoubtedly its biggest project, Build Belleville. Build Belleville is the title for a

collection of 22 infrastructure projects that will likely see the city spend more than $92 million over the next several years. A small portion of those projects started during the last council term, but the new council will be charged with overseeing the bulk of the remaining work. When Carr was asked if he and new Mayor Taso Christopher share many common values, Carr pointed out that they share a desire to improve infrastructure, but disagree on how to go about doing it. He pointed out that the Build Belleville plan, which Christopher is championing, requires the city to take out loans. “I’ll be honest. I’m not a big fan of our municipality incurring copious amounts of debt. We have to be smarter in how we do our projects,” Carr said. “Pay as you go is used by other municipalities and is very successful. You can’t mortgage your city for the sake of a handful of projects.” Carr pointed out that some of the Build Belleville projects haven’t gone to tender yet, meaning council still has time to discuss other financial options. “That’s where I’m going to push for ‘let’s not mortgage ourselves to the brink.’ The reason we have to do that is because we’re not maintaining the things we have.” Carr said one thing he’d like to address is the city’s lack of a road maintenance program. He believes roads are being repaired as faults are being reported – or on what he calls “a shot gun approach” - but there’s no systematic program in place to ensure they’re monitored and repaired on a timely basis. During the campaign, he also proposed the city implement departmental performance standards for staff.
Essentially, he’d like to see each city department have a checklist of projects that staff would be tasked with completing. This would allow the city to measure its successes and get results. This, he explained, won’t be difficult to start, since it’s already been discussed. “Part of the strategic plan is that every department is to have an operational business plan. During our orientation, it was told that the departments hadn’t gone that far. So we’re going to review the strategic plan. I’m of the opinion that it’s a good document and a good measuring stick and we should keep it. I want the departments now to get organized so that they’re measuring these results and we’re communicating these results to the taxpayer.” These ideas, Carr said, come from his experience as a manager for a federal government agency. He works for Corrections Canada, where he supervises parole officers. “I work for the federal government and that’s the way it’s organized, it’s all about results,” he said. “If you don’t get results, you don’t get funding.” Carr also believes his experience on city council will serve him well, as he begins this term. He said he understands how City Hall works, but also admits that a lot has changed since 2000 when he first came on. “From a municipal government perspective, technology has finally caught up,” he said, explaining the biggest difference between then and now. “When I was on council before I could barely get emails. Now I get in there and they’re like, ‘here’s your Blackberry and here’s your IPad’ and I’m like, ‘wow this is amazing.’ What I find now is things work quicker.”
Mitch Panciuk urging council not to rush decisions By Stephen Petrick
News – Belleville – Mitch Panciuk has waited some time for an opportunity to get on Belleville city council. But now that he’s in, he’s not in a hurry to get things done. Instead, he’s preaching the importance of not rushing decisions. “There’s a little bit of concern on the part of the public that we’re going to rush and waste money doing a project just to do it,” said Panciuk, in an interview at Belleville’s New Year’s Levee. “One of the things we want to do is have a second look at things and say, hey, does it stand the test of time and is there a way to make it better or minimize the costs.” Panciuk, the owner of Belleville’s Boston Pizza restaurant and a past President of the Belleville & District Chamber of Commerce, ran for Mayor of Belleville in 2010, but lost to Neil Ellis. In last October’s election, he ran for council and won safely, earning just over 4,500 votes. With several years of experience now with community organizations and committees he has a good understanding of the challenges facing the city. So naturally, there are many issues he says he’d like to work on. “The second thing I’m really focussed on is looking after our
assets, in terms of roads and buildings and making sure we’re not just focussed on building new things,” Panciuk continued. “We have to focus on maintaining things we have. “I’d also like us to be a more family-friendly community, where we can take more advantage of our outdoor environment and parks and green space. And lastly, I’d like people to feel they can come to me or other members of council and express their dreams, their hopes and, if they have some thoughts on what we’re doing wrong, they’ll let us know and make our process more transparent.” Panciuk said he’s proud that the first motion he presented as a councillor was passed at the December council meeting. That motion asked staff to write a report on the feasibility of live streaming city council and committee meetings on the city’s website. This move would allow more citizens to see what goes on at City Hall and appease calls for the city to operate in a more transparent manner. Transparency, Panciuk said, will be the key for this council to achieve the work ahead of it and it starts with Mayor Taso Christopher. “Everybody wants to work well together,” Panciuk said. “A lot of that is up to the leadership of the

mayor. The mayor sets the agenda and leads us. If we’re prepared and we make good decisions based on sound information, we can take action and move on. If we have insufficient information, we’re going to have some starts and stops and things might get frustrating. But I think everyone is going into this with an open mind and with a good heart, saying, I really want to roll up my sleeves and do the work.” Panciuk is also the first vicepresident and a spokesperson for the Belleville Agricultural Society, which is based out of the aging Quinte Exhibition and Fairgrounds. Panciuk has, in the past, spoken openly about the need for a new home, especially considering the current fairgrounds, located in the heart of the city at Bridge and Sid- New Belleville Councillor Mitch Panciuk speaks with a guest to the Belleville New Year’s Levee, while standing beside fellow ney Street, is valuable real estate. new Councillor Kelly McCaw. Photo: Stephen Petrick When asked if finding a new home for the society is a pressing concern, he admitted that it is, but for any decisions to be made, a city committee would likely have to form and that’s not something he has complete control over. “That’s a big project and I’m not sure the process for it,” he said. “I think that’s an important issue.

In loving memory of a dear wife, mother and grandmother who passed away January 14, 2014 God Saw She Was Getting Tired God saw she was getting tired And a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around her And whispered, come with me. With tearful eyes we watched her suffer And saw her fade away. Although we loved her dearly, We could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.

Sports - Quinte West - The Highway of Heroes tournament was held over five different days from December 27 to January 3 at the Trenton Community Gardens using both rinks, with seven different age groups from Senior IP to Midget, from ages four to 17. There were 55 teams registered, 31 from Quinte West house league and 24 from out of town. “During the tournament there were a total of 98 games played in seven different age groups,” says tournament director Spencer Hutchison. “A total of 20 championship games were played with Quinte West house league teams winning nine championships.” Championships were also won from out of town teams from Perth, Ottawa,
Athens, Newmarket, Stirling, Frontenac, Kingston and Whitby. On Friday, January 2, Jack Halloran, of the Quinte West Whitley Financial squad helped his Bantam team win their three round robin games and propelled the team into the Bantam “A” championship on Saturday afternoon. In the final, Whitley Financial faced the Southend Shamrocks of Ottawa, also undefeated in the round robin portion of the tournament. After finishing tied 1 - 1 in regulation time, with 2:24 left in a 5-minute overtime, Southend prevailed 2 - 1. “It was a back and forth game with outstanding performances by both goalies,” Hutchison said. More details of the results of all the games will be available next week.
