Two men charged after Trenton explosion

By Erin Stewart Trenton - Officers from the Quinte West Crime Unit have confirmed what Quinte West News reported two weeks ago – that an explosion at a Trenton townhouse was allegedly linked to drug production.

Police announced Monday they have laid a number of charges against two men following an investigation into the explosion that destroyed 24 Annwood Court, a townhouse in Trenton on Sunday Jan. 10.

Joshua Hilts, 23, of Trenton and Lucas Veltman, 21, of Ameliasburgh have been charged with charges ranging from arson and endangering human life to possession of a controlled substance and production of a controlled substance.

Quinte West OPP Constable David Ludington confirmed the explosion was ignited as a result of the production of drugs and further charges are pending, with the possibility of more people being charged.

Hilts and Veltman are to appear at Belleville’s Ontario Court of Justice on

Feb. 25.

The explosion confirms one neighbour’s fears. The man, who did not want his name used when first reported here Jan. 14, said he can’t sit on his porch in the summertime without people approaching him to sell drugs.

“As soon as I heard about the explosion I knew exactly what it was… we’re not stupid,” he said. “Apparently there’s two (drug labs) here in this area, from the rumours going around the streets.”

Quinte West OPP and Quinte West fire department responded to calls of the explosion around 2:30 p.m. on Jan. 10.

Upon arrival, Fire Chief john Whelan said unit #24 on Annwood Court was fully engulfed in flames.

Fire crews were successful at containing the fire so it did not spread to any of the other units in the six-unit townhouse complex.

One man was taken to Toronto’s Sunnybrook Hospital burn-unit with severe burns to his hands and face while a woman was taken to Trenton Memorial Hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries.

Creeping floods worry Trent River residents Trenton – Rising flood waters on the Trent River had at least one homeowner worried that frigid waters are growing dangerously close to her home.

Louise Boretski, a resident on Cooke Armstrong Road, says she has never seen flood conditions in her area in January.

It’s frightening, how fast it’s come up, she said surveying the creeping shoreline.

“It happened so fast, we didn’t have time to move anything.”

By late last week, at the height of the flooding, more than a half dozen of her neighbours reported flooding inside their homes and basements.

Fire officials were sandbagging sections of the riverbank and around homes in her neighbourhood.

Officially, the flood warning remains in place for another week.

The Lower Trent Conservation (LTC) is advising residents living along the Trent River, between dams #7 and #6 from Glen Ross to Frankford, that the flood warning will remain in effect for another week, until Friday, Jan. 29.

“Residents living in the effected areas downstream of Glen Ross, including Cooke Armstrong Road, McGuire Lane, and Rosebush Road are advised to continue to pay attention to water levels and test drinking water from private well supplies,” said the LTC in its warning.

“Warmer temperatures projected for this week may ease the frazil ice jam associated with the flooding and the Trent-Severn Waterway is making operational changes to water control structures in the affected area in an effort to reduce the high water levels.”

Janet Noyes, manager of watershed science and services at the Lower Trent Conservation (LTC), said the flooding is caused by frazil ice building up in the river, a result of flowing open water and cold temperatures.

“The flows are keeping the river open so frazil ice can form - it’s kind of basically slushy ice, rather than a sheet ice,” Noyes said. “When it comes across a narrow part of the river or an ice sheet then it starts to form a dam and starts jamming.”

Noyes said the flood warning is currently in effect until Friday, Jan. 22, but will likely be extended due to the forecasted weather temperatures.

“Basically anything with a wind chill that gets down to -18 is conditions that frazil ice conditions can occur,” she said. “So we’re looking into the beginning of next week until we might see some change in the conditions that could help us.”

Noyes said frazil ice conditions are a fairly regular occurrence on the narrow portion of the Tent River.

She said once an ice sheet is able to form across the river frazil ice formation doesn’t occur.

LTC is advising residents in the effected area to make sure their sumppumps are working and a boiling water advisory is in effect.

Boretski says she has lived in her home on the Trent River for five years and has never had a flood warning this early in the year; the warnings normally happen during the spring thaw, she said.

“I can’t move my boat and I’m afraid we’re going to lose our dock,” Boretski said.

The water has moved from Boretski’s backyard up to the front yard, covering at least 50 metres from the natural shoreline, within two days. Boretski said she doesn’t want to risk moving pieces of her outdoor property around in these conditions.

“In spring you can go in and the water’s cold but this is ice, you can go through and slip and fall, I’m scared of falling and hitting my head.”

She is concerned that her pumps – one sump pump inside that leads to a second outdoor pump - are going to stop working and she is currently unable to get to the outdoor pump because it is covered in ice.

Campbellford hospital CEO presents operating plan to mitigate projected deficit

By Sue Dickens Campellford – Ending this fiscal year with an expected surplus of $29,000 is the good news. The bad news is, “If nothing is done, Campbellford Memorial Hospital is forecasting a deficit position between $200,000 to $309,000 for 2016-17.”

For Brad Hilker, president and CEO, doing nothing is not an option so he presented to the board an operating plan with the issues and concerns and revenue generating ideas to mitigate any financial deficit.

Add to all of that an “aging infrastructure with potential repairs of $21.4 million over the next five years,” and the financial forecast includes many challenges for the board.

“Obviously there’s a number of things we’re taking as initiatives from our management team to close the gap so that we do not end up in a deficit position as well as (addressing) some of the issues we are facing,” Hilker told the board.

Reaching this year’s surplus position of $29,000 has been no easy task. Factors such an “increased patient volumes with several patients with behavioural issues requiring one-on-one care and support, higher than anticipated electricity costs and lower revenue for ultrasound and echo services have all impacted the current budget.”

Costs were incurred when additional resources in housekeeping were required due to an increase in the num-

ber of patients being isolated.

“In the middle of December (2015) we actually had 10 patients out of the 34 that were isolated, so one third of our population was isolated because of diseases that needed to be isolated,” noted Hilker.

Offsets have included a rebate of $80,000 from a company that does maintenance on a number of pieces of hospital equipment and additional federal revenue from the Department of National Defence for patients they fund.

Some savings initiatives from the 2015-16 fiscal year included replacing a full-time employee in the storage department when she left with a part-time position.

Not replacing staff expected to be on maternity leave in the next

fiscal year is one of the ways the hospital can save money in 2016-17.

Moving forward, areas where money can be saved include an expectation of increased volumes in the OR “related to scope procedures which in turn create additional revenue.”

Cost savings that resulted “when we switched insurance providers,” will continue as the January renewal saw no increase. The savings amounted to $40,000 annually.

From savings in lab testing costs due to new equipment to savings on supply contracts to efficiencies by switching from a water-cooled system to air-cooled system for walk-in freezers and fridges, it will all help.

“By using an air-cooled system with a $20,000 investment we expect to save $25,000 a year. We are going to save 1.3 million gallons of water at

$25,000 annually in savings,” noted Hilker.

Factored into the 2016-17 financial forecast is the anticipated continuation of a one per cent increase ($134,000) in funding from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.

The renewal of a variety of collective agreements pending will also impact the future.

“So we’re just right on the edge in terms of achieving a balanced position,” Hilker said.

A ministry review underway now indicates the aging infrastructure has potential repairs of $21.4 million in the next five years ... another $70 to $80 million in the next 20 years. Talk of a new hospital includes an estimated cost of $100 million in terms of construction alone.

OPINION

Never take for granted the Trump vs. Sanders – vs. Bloomberg? community safety nets

The outcome of the US presidential primaries was supposed to be Hillary Clinton, the wife of an ex-president, vs. Jeb Bush, the son and brother of other ex-presidents: both worthy but somewhat boring candidates, and both definitely members of the “establishLess than a Gwynne Dyer ment”. week before the first primary, the Iowa caucuses, Bush is dead in the water and even Clinton is looking vulnerable.

In Bush’s place as the Republican front-runner is Donald Trump, billionaire property developer, TV reality star and demagogue, who told a campaign rally last Saturday, “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.” His arrogance is not misplaced: to the despair of the Republican Party’s hierarchy, he probably has the party’s presidential nomination locked up.

Three months ago, Democrats thought this would virtually guarantee Hillary Clinton’s election, as a majority of Americans would refuse to vote for such a crude clown. That was probably correct, but it’s irrelevant if Clinton doesn’t get the Democratic nomination. Ominously, her “socialist” rival, Bernie Sanders, is neck-andneck with her in Iowa and clearly ahead in the next primary, in New Hampshire.

Sanders is also raising as much money from small voluntary donations as Clinton has raised from her rich frends and corporate donors. He can stay in the race right down to the finish, and the belief that he will fade when the more populous states vote in the later primaries is based on the shaky assumption that Americans will never vote for universal government-provided health care, free college tuition and soak-the-rich taxes.

Sanders is not really a socialist – 50 years ago he would have been an unremarkable figure on the left wing of the Democratic Party but in any case “socialist” is no longer a curse-word in the United States. When pollster Frank Luntz asked “Would you be willing to vote for a socialist?” last June, nearly 60 per cent of the Democrats surveyed said yes and an astonishing 29 per cent of the Republicans.

Both the major parties are facing a mutiny among their traditional supporters this year. A presidential race between Donald Trump and Bernie Saunders (the Tea Party vs. Occupy Wall Street) is entirely possible. But both Trump and Saunders are too radical for at least a third of

American voters. That would leave the middle ground of American politics unoccupied.

Enter Michael Bloomberg, another billionaire, who started out as a Democrat, became a Republican to run for mayor of New York City in 2001, and now calls himself an independent. He won’t run if Hillary Clinton still seems likely to win the Democratic nomination, but if Sanders is pulling ahead, he probably will.

In a three-way race featuring Trump, Sanders and himself, Bloomberg would be the one “moderate” candidate, and he might even win.

The probability that all this will come to pass is still well below 50-50, but the fact that it exists at all shows just how far American politics has departed from the usual track. Why? The rise of Trump is mainly due to the fact that gerrymandering has turned 90 per cent of the seats in the House of Representatives into safe seats for one party or the other: win the nomination, and the seat is guaranteed. So would-be Republican candidates have to appeal to the party’s strongest supporters, white working-class people without a college education, not to voters in general.

A lot of these Republican stalwarts are very, very angry. Their incomes are stagnant or falling, and as demography change gradually turns the United States into a country where the minorities are a majority, they feel that they are being marginalised and forgotten. They want their candidate to be angry too, and Donald Trump intuitively understands this and plays to it.

Paradoxically, Sanders appeals to some of the same people, because he also represents a radical break with business as usual. Anecdotal evidence suggests that for many people whose first choice is Trump, their second choice is Sanders.

But most of Sanders’ support comes from people who are not so much angry as despairing.

In the new documentary “Dream On”, comedian John Fugelsang sums up what has driven them farther left than they ever imagined they would go. “America has become a reality show,” he said. “Food, Medicine, Rent: Pick two.” Median US household income in constant dollars is still $4,000 a year lower than it was in 2000, and the “American Dream” is dying if not dead.

So it’s a horse-race that anybody could win, unless Hillary Clinton gets the Democratic nomination, in which case she would be the odds-on favourite to win. She even promised last Sunday to “relieve” Bernie Sanders of the obligation to run by winning the nomination herself.

But if she does win, of course, nothing will really change, including an unreformed financial system that is setting us all up for a rerun of the 2008 crash.

6 Quinte West News - Thursday, January 28, 2016

Editorial - Chris Malette Two stories in these pages this week illustrate the struggles our communities and those less fortunate in them are facing on a daily basis.

First, we heard of the growing demand for a hot meal on a cold night in the form of the community kitchen service run for many years

by Bridge Street United Church and its Inn From the Cold.

In our story by Steve Petrick, volunteer and one of three co-ordinators, Ian Sutherland, it was explained in the numbers how great the need is in this area.

“On average last year, we served about 105 meals a night,” Sutherland said. “We expect this year to not be any less.”

In fact, Sutherland said demand for meal programs at the church has risen slowly over the years, likely owing to food insecurity programs plaguing the area.

According to a 2014 Hastings Prince Edward Health Unit report, this region has the second highest rate of food insecurity in Ontario, meaning one in nine households or more than 17,600 local residents don’t always have enough money to buy nutritious food.

Given this, it’s no surprise that Inn from the Cold has seen its numbers go up about three per cent in recent years, Sutherland said. Plus the number of people accessing frozen meals from the church through it’s year-round ‘Thank God It’s Friday’ program has risen 10 per cent from a year ago.

Sutherland said some of the regulars at Bridge Street are there because they need a meal, while others are there more for the fellowship. And in many cases, the guests are not homeless, but may be facing precarious employment and are having trouble paying their bills.

“It sometimes comes down to that phrase, ‘heat or eat,’ Sutherland said, adding that the colder the weather gets the more people the program tends to see.

Heat or eat. It’s a harsh reality for too many.

The fact that more money is needed to address the growing needs of agencies that help the community in so many ways – not just in helping provide meals for those who need them – was summed up in so many ways just this past Thursday when United Way of Quinte celebrated its $2.1 million target achievement.

Executive director Judi Gilbert was effusive in her praise fo the community effort behind the massive fundraising effort.

“It is astounding to me that we had a record number of new leaders during this campaign-41

to be exact (individuals who donated $1,000 or more), what is also astounding is that at the 11th hour Hanon Systems, previously Halla, pledged an additional $30,000 towards the campaign … that we had a 70% return on our direct mail campaign - a tremendous response - and that upwards of 250 workplaces supported us either through payroll deduction or corporate donations. It is astounding that hundreds of volunteers put in well over 1,000 hours to support our campaign, that past supporters once hit by the economic turmoil have returned to the United Way family, including Autosystems ... We are thrilled to have you back and let’s not forget the $520,000 that P&G raised. Also astounding.”

Let’s not forget, too, that in many ways philanthrophy thrives in all our communities thanks to the generosity of those who have succeeded in our midst and who know the value of giving back.

Again, Gilbert on the importance of that intangible, philanthropy, and its importance: “At United Way of Quinte we have a program called the Maurice Rollins Leadership Challenge Fund. Each first time donation of $1,000 or more to the United Way of Quinte is matched dollar for dollar by Mr. Rollins allowing these donors to double the impact of their gift. Mr. Rollins also matches current leaders’ increase of 10% or more. This year Mr. Rollin’s graciously increased his matching donation from $50,000 to $75,000 prior to the start of the campaign and just a few days later he increased it to $100,000.”

As well, the volunteer world thrives on the dedication of its people – the volunteers themselves – and none embodied this as much, or at least received recognition for that selfless service, this past week, than the winner of United Way of Quinte’s Jack Hartling Volunteer of the Year Award - Allison Farrell. As Gilbert said in recognizing Allison’s tireless efforts, “Allison has been a friend to United Way for as long as anyone can remember and is the only part-time employee at Belleville Community Trust- an organization that provides emergency financial assistance to families and individuals who are facing the loss of their basic needs.”

There are stories such as these throughout our area. Unfortunately they point to the simple, hard fact that while we live in a First World country where much is taken for granted, the need remains great for those on the wrong side of that yawning gap between the haves and have-nots.

Local ship building history reviewed at historical society RN, hospital, firefighting and tug boat models were sent all over the world, including Australia and some remained in service until recent years.

While that chapter of ship building history ended shortly after the war, there was a follow up, he said. The United States Navy contracted the Trenton firm to build the housing for periscopes on its nuclear submarines in the 1950s.

His final comments were to promote the new Battle of the Atlantic Memorial complex now under way at Halifax. “It was the only major battle that was directed by a Canadian,” he stressed, “and had we not won it, there would have been no invasion in Africa, Sicily or France.” He also invited people to visit his website at: http://www.rogerlitwiller.com/.

The Quinte area, specifically Trenton, was a hotbed of combat shipbuilding during the Second World War, local historian Roger Litwiller told a recent meeting of the Hastings County Historical Society.

The need for specialized small craft such as high-speed rescue boats, lighters and tug boats, inspired Trenton’s Senator William (Nickel Billy) Fraser to promote a contract with a prominent Georgian Bay builder of high speed cedar strip power boats, named Ditchburn, and to set the company up in Trenton in a former factory known as Aero Marine. These craft were made of wood, but included self-sealing hulls and self-sealing gasoline tanks, said Litwiller, and with three engines would move at 45 knots on water (more than 50 miles per hour.) Later, they would become known as “Fairmiles” and construction was done in England where the Fairmile class boats were used in the English Channel as MTBs or motor torpedo boats by the Royal Canadian Navy and the British Navy. One of the earlier, locally produced versions was later arranged for use of the Belleville Sea Cadet Corps for training purposes with help from then- MP and Agriculture Minister Lyle Vanclief.

But the main thrust was for steel-built boats, taken on by a company already engaged full time in bridge and other steel construction, Trenton Bridge. Using designs provided by Canadian and British defence officials, they got a contract for a tug boat, which was lost en route to Britain as part of the cargo on a freighter. But others followed. In fact, a total of 65 vessels, the third largest wartime military ship contract in Ontario, were produced in Trenton, said Litwiller. The pressure to complete the boats quickly led to recruiting women to bolster scarce labour resources, also to a creative and original pre-fabrication concept to build the boats quickly. That aspect alone drew much international interest and news coverage at the time, he said.

Sea trials were held on the Bay of Quinte and many area residents watched as the craft, individually or in small fleets, were launched and tested on local waters. One man in the audience reported watching the craft and even provided some Marine historical Roger Litwiller holds a copy of one of his recent books for sale at a meeting of the photos of his own and gave them to a grateful Litwiller, who Hastings County Historical Society Tuesday evening. –Photo by Jack Evans

This may be due to a number of problems associated with its use. These include trauma to the bridge of the nose by the mask, bloating of the stomach, and nasal congestion. Also, the device is not mobile and therefore restricts movement during sleep. The other treatment option for obstructive sleep apnea is surgery. Surgery can be effective in removing anatomical obstructions such as enlarged tonsils, however studies show it is only 30-50% effective.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Wyley wants to promote Canada Dear Crash Test Dummy We were recently notified that every man woman and child in Canada owed $36,000 as their share of all Canada-wide governments’ debt. (Hey you new immigrants! Get busy shouldering your inherited 36 G’s!) We are in a mess of trouble and “sunny ways” ain’t the cure!

A once-proud, once greatly admired nation is in danger of sitting on a streetcorner smiling while holding a tin cup and humming CAN - A - DA. What’s wrong? We put the emphasis on the wrong syllable. Nobody else cares about us, we have to start supporting our own. Since our guys are world-class in automobile manufacturing, then buy a Canadian-made automobile for Pete’s sake! Chrysler just announced a new hybrid mini-van to be made in Windsor.

Toyota makes wonderful compact and luxury vehicles in Ontario, so does Honda and so do others. Why are we driving vehicles made/assembled in southern U.S., Mexico, Germany and elsewhere?

Check-out where it was made and make sure you buy “local”. Our American neighbours used to promote the slogan: “Union made in USA.” We need a slogan too, it’s simple: “BUY CANADIAN”.

Okay, you say, I want to buy a shirt or pants but they all are made in Honduras.

We made a big mistake when we failed to support our textile-workers a while ago but how about if some of those hot-shots at Waterloo University churn out some textile robots and we build some plants to do again what we used to do so well?

(Hey, one of them was actually here in Belleville, “River City” not so many years ago).

Bombardier has some old-guard family ownership problems which could probably be coerced into acceptance.

At that point wouldn’t it make sense to encourage Canadian airlines to buy their products instead of Boeing or Airbus?

Don’t we need to encourage our own brand of research and development and manufacture stuff with our own workers, not American or European? (An Airbus exec. recently pee’d all over Bombardier.

You think they care?)

It is a similar story in resource development. Why in the world can’t we get a pipeline from Alberta to a refinery in Ontario, (or some other Eastern province)?

Is there not a greater good in “Buying Canadian” than enriching other countries

who could care less about Canada? Same story for electric power. The most important component of cost for most products - yet we are too dumb to tap “Made in Canada” hydro-electric sources in Manitoba, Newfoundland and Quebec. (And water-power is green and creates jobs Ms Wynne!)

There’s a new free-trade agreement waiting for ratification soon. We don’t have to buy that stuff you know. Let it come in - just check the label, if Canada made it - go ahead and buy it. Unless you support our own, whether it’s cheese, cars or anything else we do, you are directly responsible for our eventual failure as a nation.

And one last nag: Stop with the ceaseless travel outside the country! There is enough to see and do in Canada to last a lifetime. Get seeing it! And spend your” exchange-free” dough here - where it does the most good. (Keep that vision of disappearing pensions, and tin-cups on the corner, firmly in your head while you BUY CANADIAN). Thank you for your attention.

Wyley Canuck, aka Ken Leavens, Stirling

I was driving North on County Road 30 Sunday evening at about 5:30. Coming towards me I saw a car overtaking a transport rig, and I slowed down. And then some maniac, that’s you Crash Test Dummy, followed the overtaking car to get past that 70 foot tractor trailer rig. There was no room. I had a choice - hit the idiot or swerve onto the snow covered hard shoulder. I went for the hard shoulder, didn’t spin into the ditch, and survived your stupidity. (A million miles of driving experience and

the engineering in my Toyota SUV kept me alive).

We were probably close to a terminal velocity of 160 kms an hour.

Nobody walks away from that! We are both dead! I hope I have your attention, Crash Test Dummy. I don’t know who you are, but I suspect you are a novice driver.

Well, if you want to rack up a million miles then smarten up and dial back the aggressive driving!

Suicide Prevention seminar offers coping strategies

By Terry McNamee

Stirling—Depression, trauma, stress, bullying — these things and many more can lead a person to contemplate or commit suicide.

But suicide leaves many more victims in its wake — family, friends, co-workers, teachers and others who are left feeling as if it was their fault for not intervening and getting help for the person in time, and questioning what they did, or did not do, that might have led to such a devastating result.

The meeting room at the StirlingRawdon Public Library was filled standing-room-only for a Suicide Prevention Seminar on Wednesday,

Jan. 20, to help people get answers, and to seek help if needed.

The event was co-hosted by the library and the Stirling-Rawdon Police Service.

SEP-Somatic Trauma Specialist Laurene Winkler of Cobourg said brain chemistry is at the heart of what happens to cause a person to become suicidal.

“New imaging technologies can now track what happens in our brain during severe emotional crisis,” Winkler said. “An understanding of neurobiology is rapidly changing mental health strategies. Our neural pathways can always be rewired.

It’s a very hopeful statement, and science is supporting this.”

She explained that a person who is experiencing a severe emotional crisis can end up experiencing a “flight or fight” response. At that point, the person can still perform despite the mental turmoil. But under severe, sudden emotional crisis, she said, the thinking part of the brain shuts down and the primitive part takes control.

“When flight and flight don’t work, there is too much energy in the system,” she explained, causing a “deer in the headlights” reaction, or inability to act or react normally.

“This is right-brain collapse, and it is very hard to use talk to avert it.”

She said this expressed as an abnormal firing of brain circuits,

which can cause a variety of physical effects, including a disconnect from surroundings.

With the thinking part of the brain off-line, a person is unable to use logic to make decisions. The person then feels shame for not being able to deal with all the emotional pressure, the fear, the confusion and everything else, and that shame, she said, is the root cause of suicide.

“Shame has not been adequately addressed in mental health treatment,” Winkler said.

When shame is brought into the open, it will die, but the common response is to hide it, which in turn can lead to a complete collapse, or dissociation.

“Overwhelming fear feeds into shame,” she said. “Every minute of every day, they are drowning. This is suicidal depression.”

This causes more and more stress until, she said, the brain essentially implodes.

“On the surface, they may appear numb,” she said, but inside, everything is chaotic. “They are frozen and trapped inside,” and logic is no longer available. They will no longer trust, not being able to identify friend from foe.

“This is a very risky state that can lead to self-harm,” she said.

Talking at this stage will not help, but listening and showing empathy through body language can.

“Your presence says, ‘If you cannot hold yourself, I will hold you.’

Empathy is simply listening.”

What can people do to help people from reaching this state of crisis?

“Parents and kids — please, turn off your cell phones, and look at each other,” Winkler said. “That is a very strong and positive message ... Connect with others. We are truly in it together.”

As a front-line worker, Const.

Tom Wilson of the Stirling-Rawdon Police Service encounters people in crisis regularly. Some of those are suicidal and need immediate help.

Sadly, some are reached too late.

“It’s a huge epidemic in our society today,” Const. Wilson said.

But, he added, increased attention is shedding a spotlight on this hidden problem and this is helping to change how police officers respond to people in crisis.

He said that, under the Mental Health Act, when police respond to someone who is suicidal or suffering from mental health problems, or if the officer thinks the person is a danger to themselves or others Please see “Suicide” on page 11

or unable to care for themselves, the individual is to be apprehended and taken to hospital. The police must remain with the person until seen by a doctor.

“It’s more of a Band-Aid solution, but it’s shone a spotlight on it,” he said.

Kim Leighton, from Addictions and Mental Health Services, deals with these issues regularly. She said while the Mental Health Act is not perfect, today front-line police officers are getting skilled training in dealing with people in crisis.

She said the pain for people left behind when a person commits suicide is severe, and the best solution is to provide help before suicide occurs. She urged people in crisis and those close to people in crisis to find help, whether a family doctor, nurse practitioner or a private therapist. If you don’t have access to any of those and help is needed immediately, she said people can call the Belleville General Hospital at 613-969-7400 and ask to speak to someone who helps people in crisis.

Tammy Orr, a mental health counsellor with Addictions and Mental Health Services of Hastings and Prince Edward Counties, said people need to know they can reach out and get help.

“There’s been a tremendous loss of life in this area to suicide,” Orr said.

Even if you are not in a crisis situation, but realize you are experiencing feelings that could lead to crisis, she said, you can call 613310-OPEN. There are also anonymous help lines listed in the front of the telephone book.

Orr recommended Kids’ Help Line as a great resource, because it offers help 24-7.

“It’s a fantastic service, and you don’t have to be a kid,” she said.

“That’s a really good resource to know about.”

She said there is also a family support network for families of people with mental health issues. To teach people how to support their loved one and also look after themselves.

There is a quick way to find out what resources are available. Just dial 2-1-1.

NHL veteran Shawn Antoski is reaching out to people in crisis

By Terry McNamee Stirling – Former NHL player Shawn Antoski, of Madoc, knows what it is like to suffer from debilitating emotional distress. As a survivor of crushing depression, he is now dedicated to helping others get help before they fall over the brink into a suicidal state.

During the Suicide Prevention Seminar in Stirling on Wednesday, Jan. 20, Antoski said his story is exactly as described by one of the other speakers, SEP-Somatic Trauma Specialist Laurene Winkler of Cobourg. He suffered repeated injuries while playing pro hockey and tried to play through the pain. A severe car accident resulted

in a skull fracture, and his career came to an abrupt halt. By 2012, he said, the depression sent him into a downward spiral.

“I started to regress to the point where I locked myself away from everybody,” Antoski said. “I had broken.

That led to the darkness.

“Deep down, I thought I could overcome this. But I could not.”

As he kept getting worse, he finally sought therapy, but his internal support mechanism was still gone. His solution was to reach out to others.

“I became ultra-sensitive to people in struggle,” he said and he went public with his story. He started a foundation called Fear Nothing, and started find-

ing out the effect of deep depression both on sufferers and on those close to them.

“It was connecting with that that saved my life ultimately,” Antoski said.

Connecting with others who are suffering emotional breakdowns is potentially saving other lives besides his own. Just on the drive from Madoc to Stirling to attend this seminar, he said, he was contacted by two people in crisis.

Like Winkler, he said people must look beyond social media.

“It’s an easy way to put on a mask,” he said.

Clearly, this is a problem that must be addressed and dealt with by an entire

community, and people who are suffering need to know the community is there for them.

“I want people to really understand that, in your struggle, there is hope, and there are people who care, and you are truly not alone,” Antoski stressed.

“I know there’s people in here (in this room) that are struggling, and the reason is, I’ve been there.

“If you need help, don’t be afraid to speak up, because your life is valuable.

Step out of the shadows, because once you’ve done it, it’s awesome.”

During the Stirling Suicide Prevention Seminar at the Stirling Public Library on Wednesday, Jan. 20, former National Hockey League player Shawn Antoski spoke about his experiences with severe depression and his efforts to help others in crisis. Photo

Op SUPPLY DROP makes its first delivery to Trenton MFRC

By Ross Lees The Trenton Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC) never looks a gift horse in the mouth.

When Master Corporal Shawn Lawrence, a communications research officer at CFB Kingston, and his team from Operation SUPPLY DROP arrived at the MFRC’s door on the morning of Jan. 20 with all kinds of games and gaming equipment, staff threw open their doors and welcomed them in.

Lawrence and Op SUPPLY DROP were making the organization’s first ‘supply drop’ to a Canadian MFRC with all of the gaming material going to the Trenton MFRC Youth Centre.

It was one of those donations that left the MFRC personnel standing in awe.

While thanking Lawrence, his team and Op SUPPLY DROP, Trenton MFRC executive director Tamara Kleinschmidt was effusive.

“In Trenton, we like to be first,” she noted with a smile. “This totally plays into the way that we function here and the Youth Centre, just over a year ago, was totally remodeled and we recommitted our energy to making the Youth Centre a priority. You’ve just leaped us three years ahead.”

Kleinschmidt said this is the kind of thing that

has begun to happen on regular basis since they started putting effort into building their community communications network and making sure there is awareness about what they do and who they are.

“This is the kind of stuff that happens and it really does take your breath away,” she added.

The donation of $3,000 to $5,000 worth of gaming equipment was impressive but was just the tip of the iceberg, according to Lawrence, who likes to “make fun where there is none,” a phrase he has adapted from military deployments in places like Afghanistan and Iraq.

“This is just the beginning,” he stated. “This is what they call a standard drop, but we have different types of drops that are available. If we have (military) members that are overseas, there are actually portable gaming kits – almost like a pelican case with a TV and console – that you take with you as carry-on. We are going to have those so when members are overseas, as soon as we can figure out the logistics, these kits will be delivered to them.”

In a very short time, Lawrence wants to deliver similar drops to three other MFRCs or locations in Ontario – London, CFB Petawawa and CFB Borden. When he dreams, Lawrence dreams big.

He wants to eventually supply all MFRCs across

Canada with similar drops and he wants to be able to supply deploying units with the portable gaming kits no matter when and where they go.

Working through his own deployment facilitator in Kingston, Lawrence is trying to work up a network with deployment co-ordinators on bases across Canada so he can know when units are being deployed and where, so he can arrange for the kits to accompany them.

Op SUPPLY DROP is a not-for-profit charity headquartered in Texas. Lawrence discovered the group through social media.

“Bold as I am, I reached out to their chief executive officer and said this is outstanding, but why is

it not in Canada? How do we make this happen in Canada?” he recalled.

After some meetings and overcoming some logistical problems, Op SUPPLY DROP has now been introduced into Canada and Lawrence wants to keep the momentum going to help military members and their families.

He is currently transitioning out of the Canadian Armed Forces on a medical release and he hopes this project will do two things for him – keep him in touch with the CAF but also help launch his civilian aspirations as a project manager.

For shopper Cassy Street of Campellford, the high cost of groceries has adversely affected her monthly food budget. With two children to feed she and her husband try to save money wherever they can, but it’s not easy.

One way she does this is to buy directly from farmers.

“I do support a lot of local farms as much as possible,” she commented. “I don’t buy my meat at the grocery store, my neighbours are cow farmers so I get it from them.”

Her husband, she said, “is adamant about keeping a budget. But it is difficult.

Op SUPPLY DROP makes its first delivery to Trenton MFRC Continued from page 13 To this point, Ontario teams of Op SUPPLY DROP have been established, as has one in Calgary.

All of the material supplied to the Trenton MFRC was brand new, supplied by companies like Games, Xbox, Microsoft, EA Sports, and MovieSoft. When organizations like the Trenton MFRC are finished with their games and accoutrements, however, they can recycle them through the program to be used by others.

Lawrence served in Afghanistan on ROTO 7 in 2009 and he was with the Standing NATO Maritime Group 1 (SNMG1) in 2007.

“We were the first Canadian ship to circumnavigate Africa (in an anti-piracy effort). I’ve sailed six of the seven seas and I’ve touched soil in quite a few countries,” he said, adding he was in the CAF for 11 years.

Rabbia Stobbart, youth services and personal

development co-ordinator for the Trenton MFRC, at lawrence.s@operationsupplydrop.org was flabbergasted by the generosity of Op SUPPLY DROP. “This is truly overwhelming and we can’t thank you enough for bringing all of this stuff,” she noted. “Our youth centre is open four nights a week and we serve kids from six to 18. We definitely can’t keep up to all this technology in here so this is fantastic and it’s going to make a lot of happy kids in this community, absolutely!”

Lieutenant-Colonel Daniel Charbonneau, 8 Wing Administration Officer, thanked Lawrence and his team for their initiative on behalf of 8 Wing Commander Colonel Colin Keiver.

“Our Wing Commander is extremely focused on families, and I think this is fantastic for our youth and I thank you for what you’ve done and hopefully it will continue to grow,” he said.

Lawrence is determined to see that it does.

Midgets earn tie, win in league play

McInroy-Maines Construction - Midget McInroy-Maines Construction Midget collected a win and a tie this week in ETA action. On Friday Jan. 22 at RCAF they played to a 5-5 tie with Clarington Toros. Anthony Bertucca handled the goaltending duties and goals were provided by Nick Hoey, Greg Thomas, Ryan Fraser, Brandon Forestell, and Mackenzie Warren. Helpers went to Shelby Rienstra (3A), Logan Drew, Warren and Forestell.

On Sunday in Lindsay the midget Red Devils picked up a tough 5-3 win against Central Ontario Wolves with Sean Storr between the pipes.

Scorers were Greg Thomas (2), Colin Vandenhurk, Tanner Sheppard, and Brock Bronson.

Assists came from Mackenzie Warren, Brandon Forestell, Sheppard, and Thomas. Next up is Saturday Jan. 30 at 7pm at the Yardmen against York Simcoe Express.

On Saturday Jan. 23, Colin Vandenhurk and Mackenzie Warren competed in the SCTA-ETA All-Star game in St. Catherines. The SCTA prevailed by a score of 3-2. It was a very close game with good physicality and puck movement. The cross-league All-Star game is played annually as part of the SCTA / OMHA Minor Midget Showcase Weekend. The event offers College, Junior A / B, and OHL scouts another look at the midget talent pool in the OMHA.

KKP – Minor Midget In a trio of home games last week, the minor midget Red Devils managed to take 4 points to secure a playoff spot. Jan. 16 - (4-3 Win vs Whitby) In their last trip to the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre the always competitive Whitby Wildcats came out flying. The Devils not to be dismayed by this daring display fought back and took both points from Whitby. Scoring for the Devils were Madoka Suzuki and Nathan Dunkley both with two goals.

The helpers were provided by Baker (3), Wheeler, Citrullo, Dunkley and Suzuki. Jan. 20 - (1-1 Tie vs Clarington) The minor midgets tied with Clarington and clinched a playoff spot securing them no less than 4th spot in a tightly contested division. Scoring the lone goal for the Devils was Dunkley with help from Baker. Jan. 23 - (3-3 Tie vs Oshawa) It was another tie for the Devils proving the importance of sticking to the game plan and the competitiveness of the ETA-East. Scoring for the Devils were Matt Sherwin, Dawson Baker and Nick Zarichny. Helpers were provided by Baker, Dunkley, Morrison and Suzuki. Jan. 24 - (4-3 Loss vs Central Ontario) Not an ideal way to end a season but the loss to Central leaves the Devils hungry for the playoffs. Scoring for the Devils was Devin Morrison, Zach Wheeler and Matt Poole. Helpers were provided by Crowe, Poole (2), Morrison and Dunkley.

On Saturday, Jan. 23, Quinte turned things around with a 4-1 win over the Oshawa Generals. Langdon (2), Adam Thistlethwaite and Vreugdenhil contributed to the goal tally, while McFarland, Langdon, Stevenson, Curtis Dicks, Karsten Leonard, Jacob Gilbert and Cole McGuire all helped out with assists.

With that, the team remains the stingiest in the entire ETA…with the least goals against (only 48, after 29 games played). Great patience and guidance from coaches Brent Heusinkveld and Terry Gaebel is paying off.

Bonn Law - Atom The Bonn Law Quinte Red Devils Major Atom team collected 3 out of 4 points this weekend. On Friday night the Devils were in Kingston to take on the Frontenacs. The Devils were looking to even the score with the Fronts, after losing to them at home the last time the two teams met. The Devils came out flying and controlled the play for most of the game. Tucker Mckichan made a huge save on a penalty shot near the end of the first period when the game was still scoreless, to give his team all the momentum. The Devils scored two goals in the second period and two more in the third to win the game 4-0. Cal Uens had a four point night, including a goal and three assists. Also scoring for the Devils was Spencer Cranley and Ethan Quick. Collecting the other assists on the goals was Vince Bellavance (2), Christopher Brydges, Tyson Carr and Duncan Schneider. Tucker Mckichan was outstanding in net to earn the shutout.

On Sunday, the Devils travelled to Oshawa and looked like a completely different team in the 3-3 tie. Ethan Quick, Jack Dever and Ben Lynch did the scoring for the Devils. Assisting on the goals were Ethan Osborne, Carr, Quick and Cranley. Jacob Brown handled the goal tending duties for the team.

Madison Excavating - Minor Atom The Madison Excavating Minor Atom Quinte Red Devils had a busy week in league play - winning all 3 games, taking 6 points and securing the number one spot in the East.

A mid-week match up against Peterbourgh in Marmora on Wednesday saw the Devils still flying high on their recent successes and quick on the puck against the Petes.

Ben Vreugdenhil opened up the scoring on a pass from Landon Wright and Ty McCambridge. Nolan Donnelly added another before the end of the first, assisted by Brody Partridge to make it 2-0 Devils. The second period saw a lot of scoring opportunities for the Red Devils and it was Thomas Kuipers who capitalized on the set up from McCambridge to make it 3-0. Another goal from Kuipers, assisted by Partridge and McCambridge secured the 4-0 win for the Devils and the shut out for goaltender Dean Spry.

On Saturday, the Devils hosted the number one Oshawa Generals. The Generals came out strong and had the Devils on the defense. A late goal in the first gave the Generals the first goal of the game.

The Devils regrouped and poured on the offense in the second with a tying goal from Partridge, assisted

by Kuipers. Donnelly added the go ahead goal before the end of the second on the set up from Partridge and Kuipers. The Generals battled hard trying to recapture the lead but Dean Spry stood on his head in the net to keep them from gaining another goal. An empty netter scored by Jared Langdon, assisted by Gage Butcher secured the 3-1 win over Oshawa.

The Minor Atoms were back in action Sunday at RCAF to host the York-Simcoe Express. The Express wasted no time and scored 15 seconds into the game but the Devils were a determined group and went to work to turn on the offense. An unassisted goal by Langdon late in the first evened the score 1-1. The second period saw the two teams exchanging scoring opportunities but it was Liam Philip on a pass from Carson Campbell that gave the Devils the lead for the first time in the game.

Less than 2 minutes later the Devils added some security with a third goal making it 3-1 with a second goal from Langdon assisted by Kuipers and Braedyn Rogers. Glen McInnes helped the Devils to hold on to the lead with some big saves in net in the third. This win secured the first place spot for the Devils.

The Madison Excavating Minor Atoms are back in action on Saturday as they head to Peterborough to face the Petes. Sunday the Devils will be back home at RCAF at 3pm to host the Clarington Toros.

Hawks fall to Dukes in packed house duel

By Erin Stewart Trenton - Rivals Trenton Golden Hawks and the Wellington Dukes faced off for the third time this season in a spirited affair but the Hawks came out on the losing side of this tilt.

Dukes bested the first place Golden Hawks with a 3-1 victory on their home ice on Friday, Jan. 22.

The Hawks and Dukes came into the match on an even ground, each winning one game of the two hard fought games against each other earlier in the season.

More than 800 fans filled the Essroc Centre, but Hawks coach Jerome Dupont said his players definitely didn’t play up to their potential after playing five tough games in eight days.

“I didn’t think we played well at all,” Dupont said. “We need a break, we’ve played five games in eight days so the guys are going to get a couple days off and then we’ll get back at it.”

The Golden Hawks have been ranked number one in Canada on a number of occasions so far this sea-

son and still have a fantastic record at 33-4-1-2. Dupont said they are going to have to continue to work hard and not get too confident as more teams are improving.

“At the end of the day we have to realize that other teams are gunning for us and that we need to come and play every night and if we don’t, we will get embarrassed like we did tonight,” he said.

The Dukes were up 3-0 by the second period, with goals scored by Dylan Mascarian, Luc Brown and Shaw Boomhower.

The Golden Hawks’ Danny Hanlon scored the team’s lone goal at 17:07 into the third period, assisted

by Quinn Lenihan and Hunter Fargey.

The Hawks’ offense rang up 43 shots on net against Dukes’ netminder Olivier Lafreniere while the Dukes put Trenton’s goalies to work. Jackson McIntosh saved 24 shots and Daniel Urbandi saved six.

Wellington incurred 15 minutes in penalty time with five minors and one major while Trenton was tagged for eight minutes in penalty time with four minors.

Netminder about to don another uniform as time with Rebels comes to an end

By John Campbell Campbellford – Cole Mahoney played his last game for the Campbellford Rebels Saturday, ending one chapter on his life, involving the Empire B Junior C Hockey League, in order to begin another, as a member of the Canadian Armed Forces.

The 20-year-old Campbellford native, who tended net for four seasons, compiling an overall record of 71-63, begins his 12-week basic training Jan. 23 at Saint Jean, Quebec. It’s the first step to his becoming an avionics systems technician with the air force.

“It’s nice the organization valued the time I put in and the amount of years

I played for them,” Mahoney said of the formal send-off he received prior to the game against the Amherstview Jets, when he was presented with a watch and jersey and took part in the puck drop at centre ice. “I really appreciated the ceremony.”

The evening’s lone blot was the injury-riddled home team losing 9-5, despite Mahoney making 53 saves.

“I would have liked a better outcome,” he chuckled.

A graduate of Campbellford District High School, Mahoney earned an electrical techniques certificate at Fleming College.

Mahoney joined the Rebels at age 16 in the midst of a playoff run in 2012 that ended with a game seven

Schmalz Cup semi-final loss in Alliston.

“He was probably the number one reason” the team went as far as did that year, after losing its starting goalie to injury, Rebels president Jim Peeling said. “Any success we had in winning hockey games, an awful lot of it falls on his shoulders.

He always gave us a chance to win a hockey game ... He was as steady as a rock.”

Mahoney said he “really enjoyed” his time with the Rebels, saying it had been “a good experience.”

The team has never duplicated the success it achieved the year Mahoney was added to the lineup and it currently finds itself outside a playoff position.

Senior lacrosse team could move to Cobourg

By Todd McEwen

Cobourg -- Cobourg could be getting its own major series lacrosse team in 2016.

At least that’s the current report stemming from Major Series Lacrosse following a board of governor meetings held Sunday, Jan. 24.

The Kitchener-Waterloo Kodiaks, a senior A squad that plays from May through July with playoffs extending to September, had a request to relocate approved by the board.

While it’s not 100-per-cent certain at this point, the team’s owner confirmed that Cobourg is the desired location.

“I’m excited for the future of the Kodiaks in Cobourg,” owner Al Orth told Northumberland News. “We hosted a regular season game in the (Cobourg Community Centre) against the Peterborough Lakers last summer.

“We had around 1,800 people show up for it.”

The Kodiaks franchise started in 2003 as a senior B team and won the national championship that season. Since the club’s inception, fan support has fluctuated and the team’s new band of owners believe Cobourg and surrounding Northumberland County are the perfect place to attract a new fan base.

“We’re very excited to bring professional lacrosse to Cobourg,” new owner John Webb said. “The excitement is going to be contagious.”

The MSL league is a summer league consisting of many players who either play or have played for the National Lacrosse League. The MSL has six teams: Brampton, Brooklin, Kitchener-Waterloo, Oakville, Peterborough and Six Nations.

More information will be unveiled during a press conference scheduled for Monday, Feb. 1 at noon at the Cobourg Community Centre.

United Way of Quinte raises $2,100,763 in 2015 campaign

By Erin Stewart

Belleville - The United Way of Quinte met and exceeded its 2015 campaign goal, announced during the annual achievement celebration at the Greek Hall in Belleville on Thursday Jan. 21.

With around 100 people in attendance, the United Way of Quinte was proud to announce it surpassed the 2015 goal of $2.1 million by $763, a goal that didn’t seem attainable little more than a month ago.

“In December I met with my board of directors and said, ‘You know, we’re not on target and I don’t see us making this goal,’” Judi Gilbert, executive director of the United Way Quinte said. “We were preparing for a shortfall.”

“This is such a wonderful achievement for so many people and it’s hard fought, it’s a struggle,” Some unexpected donations in the month of December helped the United Way reach its goal. Gilbert said every donation was critical for their success and outlined some of their champions who stood out in 2015.

“For the first time since 2008, which marked the downturn in the automotive industry, we had the support of Autosystems,” Gilbert said. “Mr. (Maurice) Rollins was extremely generous to increase his donation from $50,000 to $100,000 and in addition to that, Hanon Systems committed to a large corporate gift which helped us close the gap.”

Special honours were presented to a number of businesses including Avaya, G.H Manufacturing, the Bell Boulevard LCBO, Quinte Access, and Proctor and Gamble, which raised $520,000 in workplace donations.

Tears were shed as the Jack Hartling Volunteer of the Year Award was given to tireless volunteer Allison Farrell.

gle,” Gilbert said. “Fundraising is difficult… given the economic environment that we’ve all been experiencing, it’s incredible to me that so much and so many people can come together and raise that kind of dollars.”

The money raised will be going back into the communities across Hastings and Prince Edward

County through the many programs, organizations and charities United Way Quinte supports.

Gilbert said there’s never a dull moment for the United Way of Quinte and the 2016 fundraising campaign will begin within a few weeks.

Bossio to chair rural caucus

Mike Bossio, MP Hastings-Lennox and Addington, was named chair of the reinvigorated National Rural Caucus Monday.

Nominated by fellow MPs David Graham (Laurentides-Labelle) and Kim Rudd (NorthumberlandPeterborough South), Bossio steps into the role to chair the committee that will serve as voice of of rural Canada within the government.

Meeting regularly, the first task of the caucus will be to set the top priorities of rural ridings to bring to the government, said Bossio, who upset Conservative MP Daryk Kramp in the last federal election. The rural caucus had been all but sidelined by the previous government of Stephen Harper.

“I couldn’t be more grateful to my colleagues for entrusting me with this responsibility,” said Bossio. “There is a lot of work to do, but you can really feel the energy and enthusiasm for getting it done throughout the Liberal Caucus. It’s exciting to be a part of it.”

“We need to take a holistic approach to rural Canada. Rural Canada includes agriculture, forestry, and fishing of course, but it also in-

Quartette returns to Empire

If not heart-stopping, it was certainly hearts aflutter for many Quinte area fans when it was announced that the famous all-female Canadian ensemble Quartette will make a return visit to Belleville this season.

The ensemble features the legendary Sylvia Tyson, Cindy Church, Caitlin Hanford and Gwen Swick, all talented singers and accomplished song writers in their own merit. They also have a broad-based music approach, including country, folk, blues and more.

Speaking for the Empire Theatre, Andy Forgie expressed audible excitement in a telephone interview as he confirmed the group’s booking there for Friday, Feb. 19 at 7:30 p.m. It is the first performance by this internationally acclaimed group in

the Empire in some years, back when the theatre first opened. “I’m really excited about having them,” he said. “Their return is long overdue. Everybody loves them.”

From personal memory he recalled that one of his favourite songs in the 1960s was “You Were On My Mind,” which he first heard by a five-member group sung in Beatles style. He was surprised to learn ultimately that it was written by Sylvia Tyson, typical of the song-writing talents involved in this ensemble.

Audiences can look forward to many of their favourite Quartette songs and more in this concert. Tickets are now available at the Box Office, telephone (613) 9690099. Cost is $39.00 plus taxes and service fees. Also available on line www.theempiretheatre.com

Quinte Humane Society lifts quarantine

Belleville – The Quinte Humane Society has announced that after three weeks with no new cases of Canine Parvovirus, staff have re-opened the dog area to the public.

Shelter Manager Marja Degerlund-Smith said, “We are very excited to have our dog walking volunteers back in the shelter and the dogs are all eager to get out for some exercise.”

During the quarantine, dogs still had the use of the outdoor dog runs, but now they can go for their daily walks.

The Parvovirus, a deadly disease that passes through dogs, was first found at the shelter over the holiday period.

It forced the society to move some dogs to the Toronto

‘Everything hinges on accommodations’ refugee committee seeks ‘small, young family’

By Brett Mann

Tweed – Finding suitable accommodations in Tweed is proving to be a hurdle for the Tweed Refugee Sponsorship Committee’s efforts to bring a Syrian refugee family to the area.

Linda Yorke, a member of the Housing Committee asks that the many people who have offered to donate clothing and furniture hold off until the refugee family actually arrives. She reports that the Salvation Army will collect clothing donations for the family, suited to their ages and sizes and the family will “shop” for clothing upon their arrival. “Once things fall into place things are going to move very quickly,” says Reverend Stephen Brown, chair of the Refugee Committee.

Yorke advises she has been contacting prospective landlords. “We’re visiting different

locations and we’re trying to work something out, but right now I have nothing to report on that.” Reverend Brown observes, “We have a limited budget for the rent that we can offer.

One of the pieces of misinformation that’s going around is that the refugees are going to get more than people on Ontario Works … we’ve got that rough budget to work with but we also want to make sure that we’re putting these people in a good, safe place to live that will give them a good start. It’s been challenging to find a place, especially in a small place like Tweed that’s in town and meets all the requirements. Everything’s hinging upon housing.”

Communications Committee Chair Barbara Goode adds, “We at least have decided that who we could best support is a younger

family with small children. We talked about, would we take teenagers? But no, because they’d feel isolated in Tweed, and the high school isn’t here. We’ve been united in thinking that probably the most successful sponsorship we could do is a small young family.”

All three committee members express surprise and delight at the support their project has received. So far about $24,000 has been raised with minimal fundraising efforts.

Goode shared an email she had just received from Secretary Lynda Van Will: “As Secretary of the Tweed Sponsorship Committee I’ve seen first-hand how much time and effort the volunteers on this committee have been spending on preparations to bring a refugee family to Tweed. It’s not been easy and they

The Good Earth Vol 10 No 4 An Insecure Gardener

You should have been here last week when the ______ were in full bloom.

I can’t seem to grow anything but chickweed and dandelions.

Roses are too difficult to grow.

We’ve heard this over the years from folks a titch too unadventurous to become a gardener. To paraphrase Harriet Van Horne, “Gardening is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all.”

And that, Gentle Reader, is the bottom line about gardening. However, gardening, like love, isn’t sustainable without effort. You have to do some, ahem, ground work, to nurture a successful collaboration between nature and yourself.

So, there are few things that you need to know to help you reconcile those insecurities. The first is that gardening is actually quite easy; it is our

Refugee committee

Continued from page B4 are to be commended. These volunteers have been there for every meeting, have attended countless information seminars, because they know that sponsoring a family will give someone a new start, maybe even save a life.” Goode adds that Van Will closed with a slogan, “Those that can do, those that can do more, volunteer.”

“We have had tremendous support,” says Goode. “The community really should be commended for what they are willing to offer,” adds Yorke.

“By and large, the community is just embracing this in a big way,” says Reverend Brown. “The money just appeared – it was fantastic … when people heard what we’re doing they

would just hunt us down and give us money.”

The committee decided early on that if there is money left over or if for whatever reason the project is cancelled, money raised will go to the next nearest refugee sponsorship program. Yorke makes note of a “Community Information Update” the group is holding on Thursday, February 4 at the White Building. She hopes to see a large turnout, and says, “We really hope people will come to gain information, to ask questions.” The Sponsorship Committee attributes a good deal of its success to its social media presence and has drawn a large response from its Facebook page and website refugeestotweed.com.

expectations that are hard...to meet.

For some reason, we have cultured the idea that the flowers must be perfect, the fruit must be unblemished and leaves must never have been visited by an insect or a disease. Well, let’s compare people with plants. How many perfect people have you seen? Okay, anybody’s grandkid is perfect- that’s a given. Do we tell blemished folks to stay inside their home? I’ll be the first to say I’m as blemished as anyone walking about and I have no intention of hiding my light under a bushel.

Do we have a people compost pile?

Plants have personalities which are shaped by their environment. Accept the plant for what it is and then, if you’re not satisfied, get busy shaping its environment.

While you’re shaping, think on this second consideration: control is an illusion. If you have already adjusted your expectations then this may be your introduction into the philosophy of gardening. The best you can do is suggest an outcome and then do your part. You can do everything you can in terms of culture- good soil, good water, proper light, fertilizer applied in a manner best suited to the plantand wake up to an early frost.

Plants die. Sometimes we don’t know why, they just up and do. Sometimes we can determine a cause which can be taken into account for the next project. Unless you’re a farmer

or professional gardener, we should accept this as a natural occurrence.

Once again, I offer up us people-types as an example. As a group of living organisms, we probably lavish the best care possible on ourselves- food, protection and medical intervention as immediately as we discover a need for it. And sometimes, no matter our best efforts, a few of us shuffle off the mortal coil too early. Why do we expect a higher standard with plants? If losing plants causes you stress, re-categorize the money you spend on gardening from disposal funds to discretionary funds and buy some inserts for your front entrance urns.

Fourth in the lesson plan is the fact gardening is a hobby. We have the luxury of engaging in it and we do so because we enjoy it not because we must. Well, some folks are hard-wired to the soil- their skin is permanently tanned, knees permanently dirty, and fingernails are protected from breaking by the grime compacted under them. Many have hinges in their back. Hobby doesn’t mean it is easy, it doesn’t mean you don’t have to educate yourself, it doesn’t mean you don’t have to get physical and do some work. Hobby means you do it because you really enjoy it. And all worthwhile hobbies have association dedicated to them. For us we have the hort clubs and societies as well as the Master Gardener groups. For inse-

Dan Clost cure gardeners, joining one is perhaps the best way to green up your thumb.

Here is the fifth and most important lesson about gardening: it all starts with the soil. By the way, soil is not just a pile of crushed rock. It does have a lot of that but also liquids (most commonly water) and gases (carbon dioxide, oxygen and nitrogen amongst others) dead plant and animal bits as well as many, many living organisms (bacteria, fungi, nematodes, and earthworms.) Soil is also what anchors a plant so it doesn’t fall over. The absolute best thing you can do for your garden plants is to create the best soil that suits them best.

Here’s a final quote from modern day garden philosopher Michael P. Garofalo, “In spite of a gardener’s best intentions, Nature will improvise.” So, GR set aside those insecurities and garden with educated abandon.

Experiencing the Water Balloon Battle in Portugal’s Azores during Carnival

By John M. Smith

Portugal’s mainland. Specifically, I was in the city of Ponta Delgada, on the island of Sao Miguel.

During Carnival last year, I found myself in Por- It’s the largest city found in this archipelago, and tugal’s Azores, a group of volcanic islands that I was curious to see how Carnival would be celare located out in the Atlantic Ocean, west of ebrated there. After all, I’d previously attended

Mardi Gras in New Orleans, arguably North America’s most famous Carnival of all, so I was anxious to see how this event would be treated in this European destination.

Carnival is a festive time that signals the nearing of the end of the winter season and the arrival of Lent, and it takes place each February. Like other Carnival celebrations around the world, it’s accompanied by intricate handmade masks, elaborate costumes, joyous music, energetic dancing, and special parades. However, in Ponta Delgada, Carnival is limited to a four-day celebration that always begins on a Saturday and ends on a Tuesday (just prior to Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent). This city kicks off the event with a black tie grand ball, followed by lively musical entertainment at the Coliseum Micaelense. Street vendors sell sweet fried dough, called “Malassada”, and school children dress up in fancy costumes. This is followed by a children’s parade and then an even larger, grander Carnival Parade, accompanied by fireworks and late-night partying.

But what makes Ponta Delgada’s celebration particularly intriguing and unique is its traditional “Water Balloon Battle” that takes place on the main street, near the harbour, on that last Tuesday of the festivities.

Floats filled with eager, helmeted water balloon participants are trucked into the area, where they ‘do battle’, firing water balloons at the participants on the other floats.

However, they also fire their missiles at the crowds assembled along the streets to watch this event, and they even hurl these water-filled balloons at any neighbours who might be standing on a nearby balcony or looking out from an upper window of their residence. Therefore, spectators can become very involved, too, and soaked! In fact, many of the spectators that park their vehicles along the parade route actually arrive very early, on purpose, and come with buckets of their own water balloons. They not only intend to watch the festivities, but participate, too!

As spectators stood along the parade route, waiting for the actual water balloon battle to begin, several of them would unload their own stashes of water balloons, in prep-

aration for the fun ahead. I strolled through these so-called ‘onlookers’ lining the parade route, who were actually planning on being involved in the actual battle, and I took some photos of their ‘ammo’ that I saw ‘lying in waiting’ in buckets. One of these onlookers noticed me taking a photo, and he said to me, in English, that “I could get an even better photo”, so he then opened up the back of his parked van and showed me that it was actually filled with a plethora of water balloons! He intended to have a lot of fun during this event!

While waiting for the actual event to begin, some of the residents in nearby apartments would actually come out on their balconies and begin hurling water balloons down at the assembled crowd, and some of these onlookers would then fire back. Also, some of the families gathered along the route, waiting for the actual floats to arrive, would toss a few water balloons at another family that was awaiting the actual spectacle to begin, so there would be some fun ‘minor skirmishes’ along the route even before the actual battle began.

When the floats and battlers did finally arrive, there was a spectacular display of the tossing of the colourful, water-filled balloons, and it seemed to be just a lot of harmless fun. Balloons were hurled toward the floats and from them. Balloons were hurled from the apartment balconies, too. Nobody was really getting hurt, just wet, and all seemed to be having a great time!

Some of the spectators didn’t really want to get wet, so they would sit along the harbour wall, away from the frenzied action, and simply watch the event from this safe distance. However, I had to get closer to the action, to get some ‘up close and personal’ photos, but at the same time I wanted to protect my camera from a soaking, and I managed to do just that.

I returned to the scene of the event the very next morning, and the street cleaners were already hard at work, removing the pieces of shredded balloons that remained on the street. I’d already noticed that the cleanliness of this area was, generally, very impressive, and it certainly wasn’t unusual to find street sweepers about on any given day, but perhaps their presence was just a bit more necessary on this particular one.

If you happen to be vacationing in Portugal’s Azores at this time of year, I’d recommend checking out this rather strange, unique event for yourself.

This year’s “Water Balloon Battle” will be held on Tues. Feb. 9, For More Information: www.yazores. com; www.azores.com

Report from 2015 SnoFest

Winter in Marmora: dogs, sleds, hockey, curling, food, and crafts

By Margriet Kitchen The SnoFest Marmora 2015 slogan, “Put your Canadian On!” became a reality on Friday and Saturday, January 31, and February 1, at various venues in the town. From the Friday night Talent Contest to the late afternoon Curling “Back of Cordova” friendly battle for the much coveted BC Cup, there were smiles, success stories, and great fun for young and the “older” as onlookers and participants took full advantage of a cold sunny

winter weekend.

Let’s not forget the main focus of this 37th annual event, as sled dog enthusiasts from many areas converged on Marmora to compete for prize money and trophies over both short- and long-distance runs. From the 71-year-old veteran musher from Quebec (over 50 years of running teams), to the most junior of the Little Nippers, it was obvious that all of those who handled the dogs do so from a caring relationship with their animals.

Report from 2015 SnoFest Dog teams varied in experience and appearance, but in all cases, the drivers, and their assistant handlers were patient as the teams were arranged and straightened out at the start line. Dogs jumped excitedly out of line, mostly over their running partners, all the while eagerly straining to be away down the trail. On their return from the distance runs, dogs were certainly somewhat winded, and ready to head to their home spot, but all looked exhilarated, and still quite happy to be there at the races.

After all the distance runs, including the skijoring, it was the turn of the Little Nippers, to run the short course, with handlers watching over both the little drivers (helmets on!) and their single sled dog. Dogs were eager in this event, and were willing to help the children enjoy what was in many cases, the child’s very first sled dog run. Most children sported smiles or were set in concentration as their determination to stay on the runners and “direct” the dogs brought success. One little guy burst into tears when the sled stopped, although it wasn’t apparent whether his tears were the result of discomfort, or the end of his run. His dog turned in concern at the sound of crying. Although they are fierce competitors in their events, it would seem that many of

the dogs are good pets as well.

The many associated events on Saturday included the ever popular Circus Jonathan, Levi Caya, chainsaw wood carver, the Marmora Boy Scouts fun children’s events, a pony ride and zorba ball experience, and the hockey tournament.

The artisans and specialty foods fair upstairs at the arena featured incredible items from Marmora and surrounding areas. Artists, writers, soapmakers were in attendance. A variety of handcrafted wood products, health and beauty products, specialty sewing and knitting items, jewellery, stoneware were available.

The SnoFest Committee had a wonderful selection of top quality memorabilia at reasonable prices The Marmora SnoFest Committee is hoping to hear from all 20 of the $100 SnoFest Button winners. The button numbers were drawn on January 31 at the SnoFest Afterparty at Bunkers Bistro & Grill. We are still looking for all the winners. If you have a winning button please contact us to make arrangements for your $100 prize. Email <snofest. coordinator@gmail.com> or <snofest.chair@gmail.com>.

Music festival deadlines approaching

ers, but both also have open classes to encourage participation by adults and even seniors.

If you’re thinking about spring, Many participants tend to take part year after year you may also be thinking about and most enroll in more than one class, perhaps several. Many entrants are specifically encouraged by music festivals.

The deadlines for the Quinte ar- their respective vocal or instrumental teachers ea’s own such events are Feb. 14 for the Quinte Rotary Music Festival and Feb. 28 for the older Stirling Festival of Sacred Praise.

Both offer competition classes and also some non-competitive classes for singers and musicians of all ages and interests – soloists, duets, ensembles, vocal, strings, brass, woodwinds, choirs, bands.

Special awards, many with cash value, are included. The Rotary Festival syllabus includes a $2,500 scholarship for a top piano performance, for example. Others offer $1,000 or hundreds of dollars.

Even in competitive events, organizers insist, the emphasis is not so much on competition as on selfadvancement by critiques from professional adjudicators.

The Stirling Festival is marking its 65th anniversary this year, founded by St. Paul’s United Church in Stirling, with a program that includes Scripture recitation and public speaking as well as music classes.

The Rotary festival is a joint effort of the Rotary Clubs of Bellevile, Trenton and Quinte Sunrise.

Both festivals are geared particu- Kassy Cummins, a performer at the 2015 Quinte Rotary Music Festival. Sublarly to youth and young perform- mitted photo

By Jack Evans

2015 - 2016

The festivals themselves are a feast of music for days in a row, day and night, in various venues.

Dates for the Rotary Festival are April 11-15 with daytime and evening events plus a Friday evening wrap-up for major awards including the Vera Anderson $2,500 piano scholarship and the Rose Bowl (vocal) silver tray and silver pitcher and Silver Strings awards. This festival also offers a category for an original composition for

various age levels.

Stirling festival dates are April 12-21, April 23-26 and April 27-29. Stirling traditionally attracts increased vocal entries, perhaps because its entry fees for various categories cost less and are more family-oriented.

These hours of classes are all open to the public when audience members can catch up to some amazing local talent that may prove major stars in the years ahead, providing a huge bargain for

music lovers.

The syllabuses for both festivals, along with entry forms are now available on line, although a printed version of the Stirling festival will be available at major music store locations or from teachers.

The key point, organizers of both events stress, is meeting the entry deadline as late entries may not be accepted. www.stirlingmusicfestival. com www.quinterotarymusicfestival.com

CARD OF THANKS Alice May Hoard April 13, 1921–December 28, 2015 It took a lot of people, but we successfully gave our Mom the send-off she so rightfully deserved. We laughed, we cried, we were all adorned in her jewelry, most of which she had won playing Bingo at Burnbrae Gardens.

We owe our heartfelt thanks to so many: Rev. Cathy Gradante for officiating, Weavers for so graciously guiding us through the process, Caroline’s for working her magic with the flowers, St. John’s United Church for opening its doors to us, as well the church ladies for feeding us, assisted by the Hoards Church Ladies. Thanks to Burnbrae Gardens for taking such good care of Mom over the last five years. To Cindy, Ev, Lorraine and Sharpes for our great meal, and to all our family and friends for food, flowers, cards, donations, phone calls and other acts of kindness. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and may God bless.

The Hoard Family

Think of him with a smile today, Reflect on memories of all the happy years The infectious smiles and the laughter he brought The way he joked And the things he said Remember and think of him as living in the lucky hearts of all he touched.

Warner’s Auction Hall 12931 Hwy 2, Just West of Colborne.

The estate of Dr. Edward Sowa late of Toronto. The late Dr. Sowa was a wellknown and respected psychiatrist in Toronto working up till the time of his passing at the young age of 86, living alone in a 3000 square foot penthouse condo on the 33rd floor of his luxury home. This gentleman was more than a collector, each room in this condo you just sort of walked in and backed out and after living there for over 25 years there was still 25 - 30 boxes upstairs and another 40 – 50 in storage that were never unpacked since he moved in, as well the balcony surrounding the condo was a maze of cast benches, large and small cast urns, chairs, small table etc. The moving company packed and transported everything to our place for auction. Our plans are to move from storage to the sales floor each day enough for each sale and continue until finished. Estimated at 5 weeks never knowing what we have until it is unpacked.

It is literally impossible to list everything but we do know the late Doctor liked cast pcs including display stands, some show cases, brass, figures, busts, bronze, some furnishings, household articles, pictures, artwork, books, etc., some antique pcs included in this sale, 5 section stacking oak book shelves, 2 lovely wash stands, ant. 4 poster bed, modern queen bed with nearly new matt set, highboy chest & night stand, teak wood bedroom furniture, must be over 100 walking sticks, ships wheel clock, mantel clocks, The list just goes on and on. NOTE: This ad will run one week only, with short reminder in subsequent papers. For updates check our website. www.warnersauction. com or email gwarner@eagle.ca. We can put you on our mailing list.

Terms will be cash, cheque with proper I.D., Visa, M/C, Interac.
