Roots of Hockey dinner features Wounded Warrior

By Kate Everson

News - Batawa - The “Roots of Hockey� dinner at Batawa Community Centre on January 23 featured guest speaker Sergeant Chris Downey, a soldier who was wounded in Afghanistan in 2010 when an IED exploded near him. “Sergeant Downey participated in the Wounded Warriors Walk with Prince Harry in a trek to the South Pole in 2013,� said Laura-Lee Hogan, from Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation (TMHF). The foundation receives half the proceeds of the weekend including the two-day Pond Hockey Classic, while the other half goes to Soldier On to help rehabilitate wounded Canadians. The CFB Trenton fourth annual Pond Hockey Classic was played out in Batawa on the weekend of January 24 and 25 with 30 teams registered to raise funds for the Soldier On and Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation. In the finals it was the Rangers beating Koets team 18 - 13. Photo: Kate Everson

News - Belleville - Parking meters in Belleville, Quinte West and Prince Edward County were well fed through December, but when the holiday season wrapped up they were still a tad hungry. The Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation’s Feed the Meter program raised $25,396.84. The money will support nutrition programs (breakfast, lunch or snack programs) in local schools. It was raised, largely through change dropped in downtown parking meters in December, but also through sponsor donations and community donations. While it’s a sizable amount of money, it falls short of the campaign goal of $30,000. DeSnoo said not achieving the campaign goal will create some additional challenges for volunteers who run school nutrition programs and constantly have to stock shelves with food. “It certainly poses more challenges,� she said. “[The funds raised go] directly

to purchase food. We haven’t seen any decrease in need in the programs. It’s fascinating and it reflects what’s going on in our communities. “Although we have declining enrollment in schools, the number of meals served in schools continues to go up.� Last year alone, Food for Learning programs provided 880,512 meals and snacks to students in Hastings and Prince Edward counties. Despite falling short of the goal, deSnoo said the program still receives strong community support, particularly from municipalities who give up potential parking revenue in their downtown cores every December to support the program. Belleville’s contribution for 2014 through its parking meters was $7,386.92; Quinte West meters raised $5,922 and Picton meters raised $1,718.92. The money from each of those communities will go directly to programs in those communities.

Sergeant Chris Downey talks about his journey to the South Pole. Photo: Kate Everson

The evening also included a comedy routine with Comedy Central comedian Dave Hemstad. Francine Leclair performed her stirring tribute song, I Soldier On, written in honour of Sergeant Downey. She was accompanied by piper Sergeant Josh McFarland. The dinner and auction was well attended with 150 guests including MPP Lou Rinaldi, CFB Trenton Wing Commander Colonel David Lowthian and Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison. Sergeant Downey gave a slide presentation of his trek to the South Pole including entertaining highlights of how 12 soldiers managed it, along with Prince Harry who joined in part of the way. He also described how he was chosen from 28 Canadians in this international attempt, and the amount of training he did to prepare for the conditions. This included rock climbing in Colorado on steep cliffs, skiing on a glacier in Norway and travelling to Capetown, South Africa. “I found a 1,500-year-old arrowhead in Norway,” he said. “It’s now in the museum.” He said part of the journey to the South Pole included a flight on a Canadian DC-3, flown by a Canadian pilot. “I knew he was Canadian because he was wearing a Nordiques hat,” Downey said. “Who else in the world does that?” The members of the team each had to ski carrying a sled loaded with 180 pounds of cargo for nine hours a day. The snow conditions

were worse than usual because of the ridges. “They were the worst conditions,” he said. “There was every size of speed bump.” He said it was particularly hard for the blind soldier who depended on a flat surface to navigate. The soldiers melted snow for water and it took three hours to fill two thermoses and make enough to eat. For fuel they ate snack bars and granola, consuming 5,500 calories a day, including slabs of butter. “I never ate butter before,” Downey said. “I started eating spoonfuls of it before the trip to get used to the taste.” They kept warm in tents and Downey brought his own “boombox” with Bob Marley tunes he played all night. The trek was 265 kilometres in 14 days. They had to cancel the race part at the beginning because there were too many injuries with the wounded men. Downey said he has kept up the pace since his remarkable journey to the South Pole. He has since bought a motorcycle and travelled over 70,000 kilometres. He finished in the London marathon. He climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. He even got engaged last year and will get married in August. He also met the Queen, whom he called “Granny” just like Prince Harry did. “Everyone laughed except the protocol officer,” Downey said with a smile. Downey said he still has bad days and is in constant recovery. “You never truly

heal,” he said. “Every November is a trigger, as well as May 3, that devastating day.” He said he loves the program Solider On where every penny raised helps wounded soldiers cover their expenses. He recalls bonding with many of the wounded where they would get together as a community and laugh and cry together. “Nobody worries about offending anybody,” he said. “It’s home.” He said the bond he formed with other wounded soldiers means friends for life. “Not a day goes by I don’t communicate with one of them,” he says. “They’re all coming to my wedding!”

Ludington will focus his efforts in 2015 on crime prevention initiatives based on analytical research. He will be a key player in educating the community on the Ontario Mobilization and Engagement Model of Community Policing. Ludington has been working with School Resource Officer Constable Maggie McCaughen with the OPP KIDS program (Knowledge, Issues, Decision, Supports) helping youth in the community face challenges. Staff Sergeant Dave Tovell said they surveyed the schools and found that they

valued the program. Five more people have been trained to work with them. “We are hearing a lot of positive things from parents about our programs in the schools,” Ludington said. Don O’Neill of the Police Services Board asked if they are working with restricted budgets. Inspector Dave Reynolds said, “Nothing stops us from going into the schools. This is a valued program. Schools are very important to us.” Tovell said they are engaging youth more than ever. Over the past year they have worked with the Health Unit on

distracted driving programs to send a strong message to the community. Sally Freeman of the Police Services Board asked what they are doing for seniors, particularly around fraud. She noted that many seniors are afraid to call 911 and ask for help. Constable Ludington said they are trying to engage seniors and encourage them to call for help when it is needed. He has held seminars for seniors at various retirement homes, the Legion, condominiums and city hall as well as information at the Seniors Expo in Batawa. They need to know what to do if they are

being targeted for fraud. Staff Sergeant Tovell said seniors in their homes or in retirement residences are vulnerable. He added the OPP Auxiliary Unit has been busy this year helping in the community. “They are quite valuable to us,” he said. Currently there are eight members and they are looking for two more. They have completed 335 hours on patrol from May to December. Two new members will be selected in the spring. Staff Sergeant Tovell noted the auxiliary members are trained to do audits of homes and make recommendations to help prevent crime, such as lighting, design and locks. “The feedback has been tremendous,” he said. Inspector Dave Reynolds said they are currently re-evaluating the role of Community Policing, with its structure, roles and responsibilities. They will be working with the auxiliary officers and community partners more and see how they fit into the whole picture. Constable Ludington will be liaison officer. “The volunteer hours they work are very valuable,” he said.

Gaming the system

feel sure my name is on the “enviroterrorist” list. It may also be on the “get the troops out of foreign wars” list. It would be certainly be on the “look after the vets” list, though not on the “birders terrorist list.” You get the picture; they likely have my boot size on record. It is extraordinary that in 2015, this country can still be ruled as a fiefdom by a party which received under four per cent of the votes cast, from around half of the eligible voters. Most of the world’s democracies have elections based on proportional representation; every vote cast counts, 40 per cent of the vote gets 40 per cent of the MPs. And yes they often have coalition governments. The Prime Minister’s favourite, Israel, does. The International Monetary Fund, not known as a leftleaning lobby, states that Canadian subsidies to the energy sector now stand at $35 billion each year. Put another way, while the people of Norway are all millionaires according to their Sovereign Wealth Fund which stands at over one trillion dollars, Canada still pumps money to the energy sector to keep it

profitable. I should add that Norway is comparable in population, the oil fields are hundreds of miles offshore and they have been in the oil business for a much shorter time, all of which shows how poorly the Canadian public has been treated over our heritage. Canada is once again sinking into the Middle East conflict. We learned nothing from the Afghanistan and Libya debacles. In Iraq we will likely increase the numbers as troops are killed, while at home each infantry man is allowed 49 bullets each year to practise what they do. The air force has raided the Trenton Aircraft Museum for 60year-old parts for its 40-year-old aircraft. Our submarines cannot float or sink (what they are supposed to do). We have been offered loaned supply ships for the Navy which has none. I could go on. Enough to say speaking loudly without a big stick to back it up is considered stupid, and anyway Canada used to be a peaceable nation. Oh for the good old days. Paul Whittaker, Gilmour

OPINION

I’m eighty-sixth out of a hundred

With allies like these …

Gwynne Dyer

Editorial - Turkey’s Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu was in London last week, telling the Western media how helpful Ankara was being in the struggle against the terrorist “Islamic State” that has emerged in northern Syria and Iraq. Turkey is doing everything it can, he said— although, of course, “We cannot put troops every-

where on the border.” Turkey’s open border has become a sore point with its Western allies, who suspect that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is deliberately allowing a steady flow of recruits and supplies to the “Islamic State” because he still wants the Sunni rebels, most of whom are jihadi extremists, to overthrow Bashar al-Assad, Syria’s Shia ruler. (Erdogan is no jihadi, but he is a devout and militant Sunni Islamist.) But Erdogan’s motives are irrelevant, because Turkey simply cannot put troops everywhere on its 820-kilometre border with Syria. Or so says Ahmet Davutoglu, and only an enemy of Turkey (or somebody with a grasp of basic mathematics) would say otherwise. I am no enemy of Turkey, but I can do basic arithmetic. If you stationed Turkish troops along the entire length of the Syrian border at ten-metre intervals—that’s enough for a machine-gun nest every 50 metres—it would take about 82,000 soldiers to cover the entire 820 kilometres. The strength of the Turkish army (never mind the navy and air force) is 315,000 soldiers. Maybe Turkey doesn’t have that many machine-guns, but it’s not a poor country, and machine-guns are quite cheap on the international market. Or maybe it would prefer to use some other equipment instead: a good fence and some motion-detectors would help. But the main requirement is manpower, and not very highly skilled manpower at that. The Turkish army has a few other jobs, but not any high-priority ones. Even if you allow for frequent rotation of the soldiers manning the border, it would take much less than half the strength of the Turkish army to shut the border to foreign fighters. Maybe a few jihadis would still get through, but the vast majority wouldn’t. The only reason Ankara doesn’t shut the border is that it doesn’t really want to. Cutting off the flow of jihadi volunteers to Syria would not greatly change the local military balance: IS uses them mostly as mere cannon-

fodder. The point is that Turkey is not fully committed to the destruction of Islamic State, and indeed will give IS deniable help in order to further the goal of a Sunni victory in Syria, despite being part of a “coalition of the willing” that is nominally dedicated to destroying IS. The same goes for Saudi Arabia, although it has sent some token aircraft to bomb IS. Riyadh tries to prevent any Saudi citizens from going to fight for IS, and it certainly does not want the IS brand of radicalism to come to the kingdom. Indeed, Saudi Arabia has already started building a 900-kilometre high-tech wall along its border with Iraq to stop IS activists from entering the country. But it is not a long way from the Wahhabi brand of Sunni Islam that is promoted by Saudi Arabia to the “takfiri-salafist” doctrines espoused by the IS militants. Saudi private individuals have been a major source of financing for IS, and until recently Riyadh just turned a blind eye to it. Even now Saudi Arabia doesn’t want Islamic State destroyed if that means Assad gets to stay in power in Syria. Then there’s Iran. In Iraq, where Islamic State controls half the country’s territory and threatens a Shia-dominated regime, Iran and the United States are fighting almost side-by-side to defend Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi’s government. (They don’t actually talk to each other, but they each tell the Iraqis where they are planning to bomb so there are no collisions over the target areas.) But next-door, in Syria, it’s different. Iran has sent troops, weapons and money to defend Bashar al-Assad’s regime, while the United States is still pledged to overthrow it. They both see Islamic State (which controls about a third of Syria’s territory) as an enemy, but Washington still believes that it can create some other, more “moderate” army of Sunni rebels that will eventually take Assad down. And Russia, of course, still supplies Assad with weapons, money and diplomatic support— but despite its own difficulties with jihadi rebels back home in the North Caucasus, Moscow is not participating in the military campaign against Islamic State. Its quarrel with the United States over Ukraine is too fierce to permit that degree of co-operation elsewhere. And so on, and so forth. Not one of the major outside powers that is opposed to Islamic State in principle has a clear strategy for fighting it, nor are they willing to co-operate with one another. So IS will survive, at least for some years to come, despite the horrors it inflicts on the innocent people under its control. It may even expand a bit more, though the end of the siege of Kobane shows that it is far from unstoppable.

By Terry Bush Editorial - I started the new year off quite proud of myself. After spending a fortune on electricity last winter, a fortune meaning over a thousand bucks per month from November to April while burning wood, I thought I might finally have things under control and wouldn’t be complaining about Hydro One. Well, almost. It wasn’t always this way. There was a time just five or so years ago that I didn’t give the monthly Hydro bill a second thought. For 25 years, my wife and I rarely had a bill over a hundred bucks. The highest bill we ever had at our old place was around the $150 mark. Times change. After last year’s financial catastrophe, a few adjustments were in order if either of us planned to retire before age 75. So last fall, we went to work. We started off by searching the Internet for some insulated curtains for the windows in the house, not that we wanted to defeat the whole purpose of the way the original owners designed the place. Although we love the 180-degree view of the river and wilderness, uncovered windows don’t do much to hold in heat so now almost all the windows are covered with thick curtains and kept closed, except for the odd time when we allow a bit of sunlight to sneak in to warm things up. That’s why we didn’t cover the south-facing bay window in the kitchen. When picking out the curtain rods, I made sure to get the ones that would hold the curtains closest to the windows to bottle up that cold air. While the overall effect is somewhat tomb-like and dark, we’re saving money. Well, not as much money as we could because now we find we have to flick the lights on in the middle of the day to find things in the dark rooms. But we’re more energy efficient … honest. That $1,000 investment was just the start. I then bought three cans of expandable foam and filled in every crack or hole I could find walking around the foundation of the house. It looked pretty ugly because as anyone knows, expandable foam does just that, so there are a few calf scour brown knobbly things sticking out here and there especially in the areas where wires go into the house. I had planned to cut those off when the foam dried but it’s only been four months or so, so it might not quite be cured yet. And who wants to cut things right next to meter wires or heat pumps anyway. That’s just asking for trouble. That job done, I put off the next job as long as I could because for one thing, I’m tall and for another thing, I didn’t want to do it. Attics and

tall people go as well together as crawl spaces and tall people. Unless you bang your head on a regular basis, the head calluses just aren’t there and you just know you won’t escape unscathed. But eventually, when the air got a tad frosty, up I went with bale after bale of batts, through a hole just a little bit smaller than a bale of insulation would fit through. Not a pleasant day but I was saving money by spending money. Job done, I still didn’t think we had enough insulation so we got a good deal on some fibreglass and a blower and had a great time back in the attic blowing around some loose fill. Did I mention we have a cathedral ceiling in the house? I felt like a monkey by the time I was done, swinging from triangular truss to truss but when finished, we had about a foot of insulation in the attic. To top things off, I went out and bought some duct wrap too and headed to the crawl space, my now somewhat abused melon in tow. On the plus side, my scalp was well-aerated by roofing nails, so that should get the thinning hair growing again. So after all that work, did we save any money? Well, considering it’s been a milder winter on the whole, it’s pretty hard to make comparisons but December’s bill was down about $400 bucks over last year. Mind you I’ve been running the fireplace insert pretty much wide open all winter and we’ve used more wood than last year but I was feeling pretty good about my accomplishments until Hydro One stuck its nose in my business. They sent me a letter basically saying I sucked compared to my neighbours when it comes to energy usage. I was a little pissed at Angie, Robin and Ian when I found out they were making me look bad but then again, maybe Hydro One isn’t really telling the truth. Hydro says they’re comparing my usage to “a hundred neighbours whose homes are close to mine but not necessarily on the same street.” Considering you’d be hard-pressed to find 100 neighbours within ten kilometers of our house, I don’t think they’re quite being honest in their little letter. So why make me feel like a slacker? My two neighbours to the east aren’t even connected to Hydro. And most of the neighbours on my street heat with oil NOT electricity. So I’m going to call BS on you Hydro One and ask, why are you wasting money sending out this crap when you still haven’t retired your debt according to the charges on my bill? Get your own act together before you waste my money to tell me I’m not efficient. Some nerve, eh?

Sir John A.’s birthday celebrated in Belleville

By Stephen Petrick

Events - Belleville - Sir John A. Macdonald gave a speech in Belleville last week, just days after celebrating his birthday. Okay, to be precise, it was an actor playing the role of Canada’s first prime minister. But the wardrobe and the text of the speech gave the event a

19th-century feel. An actor named Brian Porter played the role of Sir John and Brian’s wife, Renee Porter, played the role of Sir John’s wife, Agnes. The event was hosted by the Hastings County Historical Society at its new home at Maranatha Church and hundreds of people turned out.

colonial union was of such magnitude that it dwarfed every other question of this portion of the continent. Our constitution was deadlocked and a grander wider vision was needed. We found ourselves on fortune’s grounding slope. We knew we must not let this opportunity pass.” This push led to two successful conferences in Charlottetown in September and in Quebec City in October, where, for two and a half weeks, politicians worked out the terms of Confederation and a new constitution, The British North America Act, which had 72 resolutions.

The event was to coincide with celebrations to mark the recent 200th birthday of Sir John A. MacDonald. He was born January 11, 1815, in Glasgow, Scotland. Porter delivered a speech, as if it was 1887, when Sir John A. was in his second tenure as prime minister and just four years away from his death. In it, he paid tribute to Belleville politicians of the era, including the Mackenzie Bowell, a Minister of Customs in Sir John’s administration and a proprietor of the Belleville Intelligencer newspaper. “His paper is one you can trust for the unvarnished truth, unlike that tireless screed the Toronto Globe, with all its scrupulous reports and personal attacks,” Sir John A. said. “And I wouldn’t be too sure of that Hastings Courier either.” He said this area has special meaning to him, as back in 1824, when he was nine, his father owned a business in Hay Bay. “I enjoyed running on the beaches,” he said. “And I’ve been running ever since.” He also spoke about his role in Canada’s Confederation, pointing out that some of the important work began 1864. “At that time the question of

News - Quinte West - A new smoking regulation came into effect on January 1, 2015. “Smoking is now prohibited within twenty metres of a bar or restaurant patio, playground or public sports field,” said city clerk Kevin Heath. The regulation also bans the sale of tobacco on college and university campuses. The city had a bylaw in place that prohibited smoking within 25 metres of playgrounds or playing fields in the city. Staff contacted the Hastings and Prince Edward Counties Health Unit which recommended the city repeal its old bylaw to be replaced by the new one. The bylaw is now covered under the Smoke Free Ontario Act. In addition, the city has in place a bylaw which authorizes Nancy Roy of the Hastings and Prince Edward Health Unit to enforce bylaws. This includes smoking near doorways, entrances and exits of municipal buildings of the city.

Bay of Quinte Tourism to target big city dwellers By Stephen Petrick

News - Belleville - A film crew headed onto the ice at Belleville’s Victoria Harbour on a picture perfect evening last Thursday. They were there to shoot a commercial for Bay of Quinte Tourism that will demonstrate the lifestyle people who live in this region can enjoy. It’s all part of a plan to bring more tourism dollars to the region and strengthen the local economy. “The drive behind this commercial is to tell a deeper story about the sense of place that is the Bay of Quinte,� said Jeremiah Mackenzie, Bay of Quinte Tourism’s executive director. “We want to key in on a message that celebrates what it’s like to work here, what it’s like to live here and, lastly, what it’s like to play here.� The 30-second commercial is expected to air in around the Greater Toronto area on networks like CTV. During the set, a crew photographed a figure skater jumping on the ice saying “this is my playground.� Conveniently, there were several pond hockey games in the back-

ground, illuminated by the sun shining through a cloudless sky. Mackenzie said Bay of Quinte Tourism is trying to capture a trend that’s grown steadily over the years; that is a desire among big city dwellers to get out of the rat race and experience more of life in smaller communities. He said the Bay of Quinte’s wineries, cheesemakers, and other agriculturerelated businesses are all assets that can help travellers see the benefit of visiting the area, or perhaps even moving to it. “Before you establish what it’s like to live in a place, you want to play in it first,� Mackenzie said. “That’s what tourism represents. It’s what that quality of life actually is. I think we’re seeing more and more people from urban markets start to question why are they there, when two hours away this is your back yard.� Bay of Quinte Tourism recently partnered with a communications firm called Engagers to lay out a five-year-plan on how to raise the profile of the region. Bruce Sudds, of Engagers, was at the film shoot. He said he’s excited to be

working with Bay of Quinte Tourism because he sees it as a rare example of many different organizations in a community working toward one common goal. Bay of Quinte Tourism is supported by a network of local businesses. “This isn’t a government-led program. This is like community-led, government supported. It’s bringing together all the assets of the place and the players, everyone from hoteliers, to real estate agents to builders to restaurateurs together to say, ‘we’ have a really unique offering.’ That doesn’t really happen, but where it does happen it’s hugely successful.� Sudds added that now is a great time for the Bay of Quinte to advertise to people in the GTA. To the west and north of GTA, the population is fairly dense. This region, he feels, represents one of the few rural areas of southern Ontario that still has its rural charm and lots of room to grow. “From my point of view, Toronto is growing at an unprecedented rate. This is the next area.� Meanwhile, the Bay of Quinte team will also be promoting the region at various upcoming events in Toronto. For instance, Bay of Quinte Tourism will be represented at the Craft Beer The 2015 cost for the city will be $9,086,824. “The partnership the city has had with the OPP has worked Festival this weekend. There, visitors very well,� Murphy noted in his report to council. The city will experience a total reduction of $1,649,767 in po- can buy packages licing costs owing to the new billing method. The savings will be phased in over a five-year period. “This six-year contract will ensure the city has stability not only with the cost of the service but with operations as well,� Murphy said.

The contract which expired at the end of 2014 has been renewed from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2020. “The agreement is similar to previous agreements with the following changes,� noted CAO Charlie Murphy. “The cost is no longer based on full-time equivalent hours. It is based on a new model consisting of base costs plus workload [calls for service] costs,� Murphy said. “There is no guarantee for number of hours per officer. The new agreement provides a guarantee for adequate and effective policing,� he added. “There is provision that there will be no cost to the city associated with provincial police work on Highway 401,� Murphy stated. The city has had an agreement with the province for the provision of police services since 2004.

United Way of Quinte achieves fundraising goal

By Stephen Petrick

reached as the projected number at that time had them finishing a little under the goal. She said the late push that got them over the top wasn’t the result of one philanthropist. It happened because several people made small donations. “It’s really incredible,” she said. “It speaks volumes about the support from the community and the commitment to the social service sector. People recognized there was a shortfall and recognized that those need weren’t going to go away. “The incredible part of this is it wasn’t one or two donors that stepped up. It was many.” In a speech before the goal was announced, Gilbert spoke of the importance of the United Way, particularly noting that many United Way agencies help people living in poverty. She noted that while the Quinte area is a great place to live, many people do not have the ability to take advantage of all the things it has to offer. She said that ten per cent of families here live with food insecurity and 20 per cent of children live in poverty. There is

also a high rate of teen pregnancies and seniors living in poverty. “With the United Way of Quinte we were able to the focus our work on issues that matter to people today. This work will allow us to help over 20,000 individuals secure food to their families. It means 3,500 people from rural communities will be able to continue using transportation programs to access employment or attend school. And it means that over 2,300 people can continue to receive mental health support. And this is just the beginning.” Also on Thursday, the fundraising cabinet team was publicly thanked. The team was made up of representatives from the manufacturing industry, the business community, government workplaces and the education sector. Their role was to promote United Way events and work with staff to explore new ways to raise funds throughout the campaign, which runs from September to the end of the year. That team was led by this year’s campaign chair Martin deRome, the plant manager of Procter & Gamble. Gilbert announced that

deRome will resume the role of chair of the 2015 campaign. Proctor & Gamble was a large contributor to the 2014 campaign as its staff helped to raise $512,000 “I’ve always believed that actions speak louder than words,” deRome said. “And oh my God,

there was a lot of action.” For his efforts, deRome was given a Bobby Hull-signed Chicago Blackhawks jersey. It was a bit of a gag gift since he’s a Montreal Canadiens fan, Gilbert explained. But he put on the jersey anyway. In another touching ceremony, Daryl Smith was also presented

with the United Way’s Volunteer of the Year Award, for his tireless commitment to the campaign and his work reviewing applications for funding. “His philanthropic work in unparalleled in this community,” said Amy Watkins in presenting the award.

On Tuesday, January 20, members of the City of Belleville United Way fundraising committee and Mayor Taso Christopher (right) presented the United Way of Quinte with a cheque for $12,222. This donation was made possible through a series of initiatives planned and supported by city hall employees that included: summer barbecues, a silent auction, 50/50 draws and staff payroll deductions. Judi Gilbert, Executive Director of the United Way of Quinte, and Curt Flewelling, Resource Development Co-ordinator, represented United Way of Quinte at the city hall cheque presentation.

News - Belleville - It was close, but the United Way of Quinte passed its lofty 2014 fundraising goal. Guests to a campaign wrapup event at Capers restaurant last Thursday applauded as a screen showed the final number of funds raised; $2,093,603 The campaign goal was $2,090,000. Funds raised from the campaign will assist 41 agencies the United Way supports. That represents a full spectrum of programs, from food organizations such as Gleaners Food Bank, to youth organizations such as Big Brothers Big Sisters of Hastings & Prince Edward to social service organizations such as Community Living. The United Way of Quinte’s catchment area includes Belleville, Quinte West, Deseronto, Central Hastings, North Hastings and Prince Edward County.

It included unexpected information that the new hospital funding formula was being applied even faster than we expected. We now anticipate that the gap between QHC’s expected revenues and expenses for 2015/16 is $12 million. We are facing a very serious financial challenge for the foreseeable future. “The QHC Board of Di-

The Board is committed to looking at the long-range clinical services plan for the future of QHC in 2020, rather than continuing to look at planning only on an annual basis. “These are very challenging times, but we know that with the collective wisdom of our staff, physicians and leaders, we can make the right decisions that will create a local hospital system that is stronger and sustainable in the long-term.�

News - Quinte West - Lioness Joan Graham wants the record set straight about Trenton Memorial Hospital. Graham says the Trenton Lions Club was the driving force behind the hospital in 1943. “When the late Bill Chambers became president of the Lions Club in 1943, an idea was conceived by him that it was time for Trenton to have its own hospital,� she noted. She said it was his inspiration, drive and leadership as well as support by members of the Lions Club that the hospital was built. The hospital grounds were jointly purchased by the Lions Club and Rotary Clubs. Trenton Lions started the financial drive off with a donation of $5,000. The hospital was opened in 1951 with 58 beds at a cost of $578,000. A second addition was made in 1962 at a cost of $800,000. Another addition was completed in 1969 with a bed capacity of 208 at a cost of $1.5 million, with 325 regular employees, 63 doctors and serving a community of 45,000 people. The late Lions Past President Sherman Graham was chairman of the board of directors during all of these expansions. The late Past Deputy District Governor Harry Sager and Past Deputy District Governor Val Carswell gave many years of service to the hospital board. Joan Graham noted the Lions Club celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2014. “They have continued to provide money for needed equipment and so have the Lioness Club,� she said. Quinte Health Care provided this additional information about TMH. “The Rotary Club joined the Lions Club in supporting the hospital project and they jointly purchased nine acres of pasture land for $1,000. The total cost of the hospital project was estimated at $275,000. “The first board of directors was formed in 1944. Construction began with a sod-turning on August 29, 1946. The first cornerstone was laid on October 15, 1947. The hospital was completed in 1951, with the official opening on February 25 of that year. The hospital was dedicated as a memorial to the town of Trenton’s war dead, hence its name Trenton Memorial Hospital. “Expansions took place in 1961 (two full wings and one partial wing added to the original building) and in 1969 (a two-storey addition to the east end of the hospital). “The hospital became known as Quinte Health Care Trenton Memorial upon the amalgamation of the hospitals in Bancroft, Belleville, Picton, and Trenton in November 1998. “QHC Trenton Memorial underwent an extensive redevelopment project that was completed in 2006.

Council plans to spend $13.5 million more in capital budget By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - The proposed 2015 capital budget consists of $13.5 million of new spending, as well as city projects totalling $56.6 million. David Clazie, Director of Corporate and Financial Services, says, “These projects include the Public Works yard and the marina along with a few other smaller projects.� He highlighted a few of the larger projects proposed within the different departments. The Corporate Facilities and Arenas budget of $1.2 million includes $200,000 to replace the nine HVAC units on the roof of city hall. “Over the past couple of months we have had two units fail,� he said. “The rest of them are at the end of their life.� This budget also includes $100,000 for a new ice resurfacer at the Frankford arena as well as $150,000 to replace the board in Rink #1 at the Trenton arena. The main item in the Corporate and

Finance area budget of $1.26 million is $500,000 to resurface the parking lot beside the Chamber of Commerce. This money also includes cleaning up the waterfront and continuing the trail along the parking lot as well. This includes $100,000 for the completion of the Wayfinding signage implementation. The Public Works and Parks budget of $7 million includes $4.5 million for road resurfacing (asphalt and surface treatment) as well as $725,000 for equipment replacement and $340,000 to rebuild the two soccer fields beside city hall. The Public Works area also includes $250,000 for Quinte West’s share of a roundabout at the intersection of Wallbridge-Loyalist Road and Hamilton Road. “This is being put forward,� Clazie notes. “However, the project would only go ahead if the city of Belleville commits to fund their half of the project.� The Parks area includes $100,000 to place a coverall building on the

location of the old Frankford Public Works yard. This would be to store the Frankford Fantasy of Lights items as well as other temporary storage for Public Works. “The building can easily be moved in the future if plans change for this location,� Clazie added. “The intent is to use $100,000 of the proceeds from the fire to pay for the cost of the building.� Protective Services budget of $665,000 includes $50,000 to hire a consultant to start the design work for the new station #1 fire hall. Water and Wastewater budgets include $3.5 million for facility and tower upgrades as well as $5.45 million for watermain replacement. Carry forward of money to the new 2015 capital budget is $7.4 million. The city’s total financing of $20 million will use five different types of funding including $5.6 million in reserves, $1.2 million in provincial funding, $2.5 million in federal gas tax and $11 million in debt.

“Reserves are generated through transfers from the city’s operating budget,� Clazie explained. “In 2015 the transfer to reserves is projected to be $7.1 million. This will increase each year for the next seven years to $11.5 million by 2024.� The city receives over $2.5 million each year in federal gas tax funding. These can be used for an number of infrastructure items. In 2015 the plan is to use these funds for road related projects. Provincial funding of $1.2 million was announced last fall and is being allocated toward the Highway #2 reconstruction project through the base.

The remainder of the capital plan is being financed through debt. The proposed $10-million budget will be paid for in new debt for 2015 and 2016. The city’s current debt capacity is $200 million based on the annual repayment limit from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. “The city is still well within its overall borrowing capacity,â€? Clazie assured. He noted that council can reduce the amount of debt over the next few years by deferring or reducing the amount spent on capital projects or increase the amount being transferred into capital reserves.Â

Street Crime Election accessibility report made public at council Unit monitors 24 people By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - The OPP Street Crime Unit is currently monitoring 24 people in the crime abatement program. This involves conducting compliance checks including those on the Sex Offender Registry. Don O’Neill of the Police Services Board asked Detective Sergeant Brad Robson about this. “Does this involve scouting for people to charge?� he asked. Robson said no, they have a list of people on probation and they will follow up if someone phones in a complaint. Last year there were 203 checks done in the program, with 51 charges laid and 23 people charged. The crime abatement strategy is a crime suppression strategy designed to deter the criminal activities of repeat offenders. The program will target those offenders deemed to be at high risk to the community and those involved in criminal behaviour. During the months of August and September there were a series of break and enters in the northern part of Quinte West. These turned out to be two separate groups of perpetrators. After extensive investigation involving street crime there was a series of search warrants executed in Quinte West and Belleville. This recovered evidence as well as significant quantities of stolen property. Six people were charged, clearing in excess of 20 break and enters. In July, 41 Canadian flags were stolen from the Plant Street area in Batawa. The Street Crime Unit recovered 36 of the flags and charged six people. Staff Sergeant Dave Tovell reported that the Canine Unit has also been a valuable asset to the OPP. Constable Jeff Scott works with his canine partners Jake and Siege and are on general patrol when not engaged in canine duties. A total of 160 hours was logged in last year for the team.

The city offered accessible voting equipment during the advance vote period as well as on election day. Election staff and candidates were trained in the accessible customer service standard and voting locations were inspected and modified to ensure they were fully accessible. Staff was trained to ensure individual needs were met, such as placing chairs if the line was long, and making electors aware that magnifiers were available if needed. Keith Reid commented in council that schools should not be used for elections for safety reasons and because of extra traffic. “It’s not acceptable,� he said.

Doug Whitney noted that in most schools it was not handicapped accessible. Duncan Armstrong said they could use schools on PD Days. However, Mayor Jim Harrison pointed out that not all schools hold them on the same days. Council also heard a report from the University of Toronto regarding an Internet voting survey for the municipal

election in Quinte West. It reported that there were a total of 10,148 ballots cast in which 2,170 of these were by Internet voting, representing 21 per cent of the overall vote. In the survey, 315 of those who voted by Internet said they voted from home and were satisfied with the process and would use it again. The majority of Internet users were 45 years old or over.Â

News - Quinte West - Barriers to elections can prevent people with disabilities from participating, reports city clerk Kevin Heath. Within 90 days of an election, the clerk must submit a report to council about the identification, removal and prevention of barriers that affect electors and candidates with disabilities, according to the Municipal Elections Act. The clerk shall ensure that each voting place is accessible to electors with disabilities. “Input was obtained from the city’s Accessibility Advisory Committee,� Heath added. He noted that the main improvement in the 2014 municipal election was the introduction of Internet voting to allow electors to vote from their home or use computers at the library in city hall or Frankford. “This greatly improved the accessibility of voting,� he said.

These Strongmen are Tough as Nails By Stephen Petrick

Sports - Belleville - Muscles were flexing, teeth were grinding, sweat was pouring and fans and athletes were screaming with excitement inside a small, dimly lit gym in the city’s industrial north end on the weekend. The Tough as Nails Strongman Tour made a stop at the city’s new CrossFit gym on Lahr Drive. Sixteen young men—some with arms thicker than your legs—woke up early on a freezing cold Sunday to participate. The event was a spectacle of strength and determination. Dozens of spectators packed a small entrance way and staircase at the front of the gym to take photos and cheer on family members and friends. The event included a “tire deadlift” in which the men had to lift a barbell anchored with two huge tires. There was also a “green log press” event, in which the athletes had to repeatedly lift Rich Machell, of Trenton, lifts a 205-pound green log into the a 205-pound, thick metal log. air, during one of several events at the Tough as Nails StrongPadraic Moore, of Prince Edward County, man competition which required athletes to repeatedly lift a won the tire deadlift event, when he, rather heavy object.

Bulls looking to stop losing streak on road this weekend

Sports - Belleville - The Belleville Bulls will head west this weekend at a time when they’re heading south in the standings. The Bulls will play three games over three days in the Ontario Hockey League’s most western cities. They’ll cross the border on Friday to play the Plymouth Whalers (15-26-2-1) and remain in Michigan on Saturday to play the Saginaw Spirit (21-231-1). They’ll return to Ontario to play the Windsor Spitfires (19-24-1-1) Sunday afternoon before the long bus ride home. It’s a crucial road trip for a team that’s slipped significantly in the standings over the past two months. The Bulls lost all three games last weekend and are now winless in five games. Over the past ten games, they’ve won just once. With a record of 19-21-3-3, they have 44 points and are tied for fifth spot in the Eastern Conference play-off standings. It’s a disappointing situation considering the Bulls started the season strong, winning ten of their first 13 games, and looked like a lock to return to the play-offs after missing them last year. Now there isn’t a lot of room for comfort, as the ninth-place Peterborough Petes, the team just outside the play-off perimeter, are only seven points behind Belleville. The Petes narrowed the gap with a 3 - 2 win over the Bulls on Sunday afternoon at the Yardmen Arena. The Bulls lineup was limited to 15 skaters as a number of players were out with injuries or the flu. Brett Gustavsen scored both Belleville goals in a back-and-forth first period, which ended with the teams tied at 2 - 2. But Nathan Pancel’s late-third-period powerplay goal for Peterborough was the difference maker. Charlie Graham took the loss in goal despite making 35 saves.

On the previous night, the Bulls lost to powerhouse London Knights 5 - 3. London led 4 - 0 before Stephen Harper’s powerplay goal midway through the second period gave the large home crowd something to cheer about. Harper added another in the second period and Andrew Ming added a goal late in third to make the score respectable. Connor Hicks made 25 saves, but took a loss in goal. Hicks also took the loss in the Bulls’ 2 - 0 shutout loss in Ottawa to the 67’s on Friday night.

new business. But he hopes to do them regularly to support a local charity. Some of the athletes participating, he explained, were from outside the area; they travel to these events as part of the Tough as Nails tour. One athlete came all the way from British Columbia. But other athletes were local and were trying a strongman competition for the first time. That’s fine because those athletes can always try lifting a smaller weight. “We’ve got some people here who’ve never tried strongman before and they’re loving it,” he said. “They might not do the heavy weight as some of these guys,” he continued, looking at some of the elite competitors. “Here you’ve got brute strength; farm boy strength. There’s guts and determination and there’s so much training involved. Tonnes of hours for a little bit of fun.” He also said that the beautiful thing about the sport is the camaraderie between the athletes. “You see guys high five and they’ve never even met each other,” Jouwstra added, speaking over the echo of weights clanging together. “They understand the pain in these lifts.”

calmly, lifted a two-tire barbell set at 745 pounds off the ground. The weight was enough to bend the barbell, but not Moore’s back. “I went in there like it was an everyday thing,” he said, while catching his breath moments later. “If you train hard, you come in here and make the lift.” Moore said he competes in strongman competitions across North America and has also participated in the Highland Games. He said the events are challenging because they ask participants to lift objects a person wouldn’t normally lift. But he loves the thrill of the competition. At any moment, when an athlete is struggling to lift an object, the crowd—and fellow participants—get behind them and scream words of encouragement. Shouts of “You must lift this weight,” were heard a few times through the day. “The camaraderie is awesome,” Moore said. “Everyone wants to see who can lift the most. And the testosterone gets the better of everybody.” Ed Jouwstra, one of the owners of CrossFit, explained that this is the first time the gym has hosted a strongman competition, as it’s a relatively

Chicken Farmers of Ontario launch food bank donation program

News - Chicken Farmers of Ontario (CFO) and its 1,100 family-run farms have launched a new program in support of the province’s hungry. The CFO Food Bank Donation Program will help facilitate the donation of up to 300 chickens per farmer each year to local food banks. The CFO has set an annual donation target of 100,000 chickens worth an equivalent retail value of $1 million. “We’re very excited to have developed this program in partnership with the Ontario Association of Food Banks which will allow us for the first time to have an effective mechanism to contribute to those food bank client families looking to put safe, healthy, locally grown fresh chicken on their table,” says Henry Zantingh, CFO chair. The new program is made possible in part by the provincial government’s new Food Donation Tax Credit for Farmers, introduced with the Local Food Act, which helps promote local food contributions by offering farmers a 25 per cent tax credit for the fresh food they donate to Ontario food banks. Chicken is a supply managed product in Canada so each chicken grown for the commercial market is planned and accounted for. The program will allow each farmer to order an additional 300 chicks annually for their hatcheries specifically for the food bank system using the appropriate tracking systems. The CFO farmer collaborates with the selected food bank then determines an appropriate time period to grow the extra chickens and pre-orders up to 300 extra chicks for that period. Asphodel-Norwood chicken farmer Tim Klompmaker, second vice president of the Chicken Farmers of Ontario, joins Minister of Agriculture Food and Prior to this program CFO and its Rural Affairs Jeff Leal at the announcement of the CFO’s food bank donation program which will see up to 100,000 chickens worth $1 million donated to farmers in the chicken supply management local food banks.

system supported the food bank system primarily through cash donations. “I applaud the Chicken Farmers of Ontario for encouraging their members to donate to food banks through this new campaign,” said Jeff Leal Minister of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs and MPP for Peterborough. Leal said the government established the food donation credit to “reward the generosity of farmers who donate to food banks, student nutrition programs and other community food organizations. “This credit, along with the initiative launched today by the CFO, will help provide fresh, healthy, local food to those who need it most,” he said. Gail Nyberg, Executive Director of Daily Bread Food Bank, lauded the new program. “Being able to provide our clients with healthy food choices is so important and this program will ensure that our clients have a fresh and local protein option on their table,” said Nyberg. “Proteins are one of our most needed food item groups.” The Daily Bread Food Bank provides food and support to almost 200 food programs across Toronto which had over 700,000 visits last year. “There are over 375,000 Ontarians who rely on food banks to provide their basic sustenance each month and unfortunately that number continues to grow each year,” says Carolyn Stewart, Acting Director of the Ontario Association of Food Banks. “This innovative program that Ontario’s chicken farmers have put together will help ensure that more Ontario families will be able to enjoy fresh healthy locally grown meals on a regular basis.”

Theatre Guild to stage The Woman in Black

Entertainment - Belleville After a fairly cheerful story involving spectres in A Christmas Carol and its kindly Spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Future, the Belleville Theatre Guild is preparing to become more wintry with a truly supernatural tale, The Woman in Black. This play, originally a story by Susan Hill and adapted by Stephen Mallatratt, has an almost ghostly history of its own. When Mallatratt was asked to write a play script, he was told set and costumes couldn’t cost more than $1,500 and he could use no more than four actors. Mallatratt did this by making it a play within a play with two speaking actors. In the play Arthur Kipps, trying to exorcise the ghastly events that he endured 30 years ago, goes to an empty theatre to meet a young actor who can turn them into a drama and relieve him from the terrors of his past by re-enacting them. This young actor will play

the younger Kipps himself, a solicitor who comes to the remote town of Crythin Gifford and visits a mysterious house in the marshes to tie up a dead woman’s affairs while Kipps plays the various characters that he himself encountered there. Needless to say, they come to understand why everyone in Crythin Gifford shrinks from the place—and why everyone in the audience may enjoy seeing it on stage but strike it from their list of potential tourist destinations. What makes the play’s history ghostly is that despite its inauspicious beginnings, it has continued to haunt the stage of the Fortune Theatre in London’s West End since 1989 where it is currently celebrating its silver anniversary. Good stories, like ghosts, don’t die. In this production director Diane Burley has cast two of the Guild’s best actors. Robert Lloyd is playing the young actor who is Kipps

in the play within the play and Ian Feltham is playing the actual Kipps himself as well as the various extra characters he remembers from his past. Also to add to the general spookiness of the play, Valerie Pinchin is the woman in black herself—silent but scary. The Woman in Black preview will be Tuesday, February 3, and the show will run from February 5 to February 21. Tickets are $20, $10 for students and $18 for seniors and will be available for sale at the Pinnacle Playhouse in Belleville, and can be ordered by calling the box office at 613-967-1442. For information about this and other upcoming plays at The Belleville Theatre Guild visit the website at <http://bellevilletheatreguild. ca/>.
The Belleville Theatre Guild offers elevator service right into the theatre, a barrierfree washroom, and room in the front row for wheelchairs and other mobility devices.

Checking Out the Ice Trail at Arrowhead Provincial Park families. John Leadston, the park’s assistant superintendent, first created this 1.5-kilometre man-made trail back in 2011, and it’s steadily grown in popularity ever since. It meanders, in a loop, through a wooded area, and that’s certainly a major part of its charm. It has a designated outside area, next to the parking lot, for putting on your skates, with picnic tables to sit at, a cozy bonfire ablaze, and storage shelves provided At Arrowhead Provincial Park on a winter’s day. for your boots. There are even welcoming torches along the on certain nights. An ice-resurfacing route, lighting the pathway, machine helps to keep the trail in good shape. However, because of changing ice conditions, it’s best to call ahead before a visit: 705-789-5105. Many of us have enjoyed a skate on Ottawa’s Rideau Canal, another great COACH & TOURS outdoor activity, but the two experiences are quite different. This particular Ice Trail route is relatively short, and you end up where you started. Also, woods provide protection from the EXPERIENCE THE ROAD TO the winds, and that can be rather comfortEXCELLENCE ing.

Lifestyles - My son and I recently did a day trip to check out the Ice Trail in Ontario’s Arrowhead Provincial Park, which is located near Huntsville. The park itself is just off Highway #11, heading north from Huntsville, at exit 226, and its address is 451 Arrowhead Park Road. The park offers many winter activities, including snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and tubing, but it’s the Ice Trail, said to be the province’s longest man-made one, that has made this park such a particularly popular winter destination for

tainly deteriorated, but it was still “a hoot” to get out there and join the other skaters. And what a variety of skaters did I see. There were many young children holding on to a parent’s hand and simply learning the skill. There were also several adults, perhaps new immigrants to our great country, who were also just trying out this new activity. I also watched several parents simply place a young child on a plastic sled/toboggan and enthusiastically drag them about the path as he/she skated. I even saw some baby carriages that had been specifically “modified” for the ice. There was a mixture of “seasoned veterans” on the trail, too, who simply soared along “with the greatest of ease.” Skates can be rented right at park headquarters ($6) and a day pass is $16 per vehicle. This allows visitors use of not only the

Ice Trail itself, but the other park recreational activities, too, including the groomed cross-country ski trails and the awesome snow tubing hill, where you’ll find a long lineup as youngsters and parents await their turn at plummeting down the snow-covered chute. It’s all in a day of family fun at Arrowhead Provincial Park. To reach the park, we decided to travel on Highway #62 north from Belleville to Bancroft, and as we approached this particular destination, we thought we had entered “another world,” for road conditions had dramatically changed up there. The roads had been relatively bare in the south, but we encountered snow-covered roads and snow squalls as we approached Bancroft. I guess that helps to explain this destination’s popularity with snowmobilers. We actually caught up to a snow

plough and followed it for quite some time. As we headed further north, the road conditions suddenly improved again, and the drive through Algonquin Park was quite okay. We had chosen this particular route in the hope that we might see a bear or moose in the park, for a photo op, but this wasn’t to be on this day, so we simply continued our drive through Algonquin Park and on to Huntsville and Arrowhead Park. Our return trip took us south on Highways #11 and 12 to Whitby, and then east on the 401, completing our circuit. It’s a rather long day’s drive, so I’d recommend spending a weekend near the park itself. Then you’ll have ample time to enjoy the park’s activities, including that intriguing Ice Trail.

Lifestyles - Vegetables are just about the most amazing group of plants on this planet. You should grow more of them. Back in the day (which means when I was a young lad growing up on the farm) most families had, at least, a small vegetable plot. Urban dwellers were comfortable with the “green grocer” and sourced out their veggies from those stores. We were also accustomed to eating whichever vegetable was in season. In the winter, if you wanted potatoes, carrots, turnips, parsnips and even beets, you went down to the root cellar. If it was peas, beans, corn or peppers, you opened up a can; sometimes, canned by Mom. I remember not being fond of canned peas and wax beans. It was also an era of chutney, chowder, chow chow, and pickled stuff. The latter was mostly cucumbers turned into bread and butter pickles or ice pickles, occasionally dills; and even beets were erroneously preserved in this fusion. Gentle Reader, many of you are aware of my aversion to eating beets in any form. Recently, I spent a pleasurable afternoon chatting with the folks at the Cramahe Horticultural Society. Barry strongly suggested I try a piece of a very rich chocolate cake, courtesy of Rose. He had a bit of a twinkle in his eye. It was delicious. I had another piece. It was laced with shaved beets. You know, GR, the most benign, gentle mien often disguises a mischievous bent and this rings true with the aforementioned gentlemen although his intentions were honourable. Thank you to the Cramahe Hort folk for hosting us. Today, we go to the supermarket and purchase fresh vegetables from around the world whenever we want them. We still appreciate new potatoes and first cobs of sweet corn, but we’ve become a titch jaded in our overview of these foods. We now expect them to be available year round with little thought to their origin. We’ve become dependent upon the stores to provide us with all of our food. Seldom do we see vegetable

gardens in the suburban setting. However, the good news is that Conway and Brannen from the Department of Geography, University of Toronto-Mississauga produced a very encouraging study in 2012 that indicates land set aside for homegrown vegetables is increasing significantly. In columns past, we’ve chatted about traditional vegetable gardens and we looked at incorporating edibles into our flower gardens. Well, Gentle Reader, here’s a new reason for you to grow your own, vitamins and minerals. It wonders me sometimes how we have forgotten the reason we ate certain foodstuffs long before the daily drill of popping a pill became “enculturated” into our daily life.

Workshops explore agricultural potential

At a recent small business workshop held at the Stirling-Rawdon Public Library, OMAFRA consultant Karen Fisher (standing) was joined by colleagues Heather Candler (OMAFRA) and the Small Business Centre’s Charlene Bessin. A second session is planned for February 17. By Richard Turtle

News - Stirling - Organizers and participants in the first of a pair of business workshops scheduled at the Stirling-Rawdon Public Library were impressed by the turnout as well as the number and variety of ideas shared across the table. Organized by the Small Business Centre, Trenval Business Development Cor-

poration, Harvest Hastings, and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA), the twopart workshop explores opportunities for rural and agribusiness as well as the importance of planning and preparation and the need for a solid business plan, says Small Business Centre Managing Consultant Charlene Bessin.

Held earlier this week, the first session, Exploring Value Added Opportunities, attracted about a dozen budding entrepreneurs from across the region, many directly involved in the agriculture sector. And all three presenters agreed there are new and growing opportunities in the food sector, many involving specialty products, that can supplement existing farm incomes. In adding value to existing products or services, or increasing product or service lines, a greater business potential can often be realized, Bessin says, noting the sessions in Stirling are designed to help small businesses through the process of assessing and selecting the best ideas and taking the necessary steps to make them a reality. With information presented by Bessin and colleagues and OMAFRA representatives Heather Candler and Karen Fisher, participants were offered an introduction to the world of business, the considerations required prior to startup and the opportunities that may exist in the immediate area. But those are not always easy to spot. Notes Fisher of the planning stages of the process, it is often a matter of “organizing your chaos” in order to move forward. And often that organizational work will help create a clearer business picture through a better understanding of the market and the forces in play. Citing several examples of local small business success, Bessin noted, “there are

Garfield Weston Foundation has committed an additional $160,000 to help another 40 post-secondary students to earn a skilled trades diploma.

program at Loyalist to $400,000. “The Foundation is responding to the skilled tradesperson deficit in Canada by supporting college students across Canada,” said Eliza Mitchell, Director of the W. Garfield Weston Foundation. “Loyalist College exemplifies this program, providing an innovative approach in helping students gain the education, experience and qualifications they need for a successful career. “A unique system of incentives encourages students to complete additional training, thereby boosting their qualifications and future employment opportunities.

Garfield Weston Fellowship programs starting in September 2015 is available at <loyalistcollege.com/programs-and-courses/ skilled-trades-and-technology>. Deadlines for applications are May 29 for post-secondary programs and July 31 for apprenticeships. The W. Garfield Weston Foundation is a private Canadian family foundation, established in the 1950s by Willard Garfield Weston and his wife, Reta. In 1924 Garfield inherited his father’s company and established baking and retail businesses throughout Canada and in many parts of the world. The founders believed that, as the funds are generated through the hard work and success of his Canadian companies, grants should be given in Canada for the benefit of Canadians.
