Mental health support team keeps busy with high demand at Trenton’s MFRC BY ERIN STEWART
Trenton - The mental health support team at Trenton's Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC) is busy supporting the needs of families on base, taking in about one referral for counselling or mental health programs a day. Jaclyn Hunter, prevention, support and intervention co-ordinator, said the mental health support team has about 130 active clients for counselling services and had about 80 people in programs offered since April. "There's a huge need for it. We have probably an intake a day, most of us carry a caseload of 20 people and up, if not more," she said. "There's a huge demand for our services." The mental health support team offers numerous programs for military family members, including women support and self esteem groups, bouncing back from anxiety and depression, finding emotional balance for teenagers and a positive parenting program. "Basically I run what people need," said Hunter. "We're constantly looking for feedback from the community on what they need." Hunter said she's now looking into running the emotional balance program for preteens, ages 1013, in June after having multiple inquiries about running the program for a younger age group. Over the past two years, Hunter said the team's mental health and group programs have expanded a lot to meet the needs of the community while the services for individual counselling and therapy have stayed consistent. Initiatives to raise awareness, support research and break the stigma surrounding mental health, like Bell Let's Talk Day, help people feel better

about reaching out for support, said Hunter. "The more education we have the more we can help each other balance out our own mental health," she said. "With the stigma, people don't seek out help because they're afraid to be put in this box so initiatives like Bell Let's Talk helps people say 'Yeah I've struggled with that and yeah I understand,' and it builds a sense of community." Hunter said many people don't seem to understand that everybody has mental health; mental health doesn't just mean Jaclyn Hunter, prevention, support and intervention co-ordinator, at illness. the Trenton Military Family Resource Centre. Erin Stewart/Metroland "It doesn't, it's just a part of 'How's your menacross the board, but here we have a very strong tal health today?' " she said. "It's a part of who you are and how you think, mental health team because there's a strong need so if you're being an overly negative person you're for the support."

TRENTON – Two men who were cooking drugs in an Annwood Crescent home in Trenton in 2015 pleaded guilty to the offences in Belleville consolidated court, but were spared jail time for the offences. As was reported in Quinte West News in 2016, neighbours when interviewed said they knew the townhouse at 24 Annwood was the site of a lab where drugs were being produced after an explosion and fire destroyed the unit, causing more than $300,000 in damage. Lucas Veltman and Joshua Hilts pleaded guilty to the offences before Justice Elaine Deluzio, who presided over the case this week in delivering sentences to the pair. Court heard the pair were using butane torches to cook marijuana oil in the complex when the explosion occurred Jan. 10, 2015. The resulting fire, where Hilts had been living with his girlfriend and her child, destroyed the unit and caused extensive damage

to neighbouring units. Deluzio said the fire was accidental, but did not discount the activity that caused it was criminal in nature. Hilts was seriously burned in the fire and Deluzio sentenced him to a ninemonth conditional sentence which counts six months of house arrest and a year of probation. He must make monthly donations to the Quinte West Fire Department Coats for Kids and perform community service. Among conditions imposed on sentence include making $25 monthly donations to the Quinte West Fire Department Coats for Kids program and 10 hours of community service per week, for the duration of his sentence. In sentencing, the court heard Veltman counted several positive character references, including one from Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison. Veltman was given a six month conditional sentence that includes three months of house arrest and six months probation.

Trent River Public School opens doors February 7 BY ERIN STEWART
Trenton - The new Trent River Public School will open its doors to students on Tuesday, Feb. 7. After beginning construction in Sept. 2015, the final touches are now being made on the school and Kerry Donnell, communications officer for the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board, said they are focusing on planning a welcoming, safe and smooth transition for all students and staff. Students from Breadner Elementary School and College Street Public School are being consolidated in the new Trent River Public School and then the two other schools will be closed. Donnell said families of students from Breadner Elementary and College Street received a letter on Jan. 24, describing the planning for the first day of school and bus arrangements. The school will be closed to students on Monday, Feb. 6, in order to prepare the school for students, and alternative child care arrangements will need to be organized by families on that day.
An opening ceremony at Trent River Public School will be planned for the coming months. The new public school, built on the site of the former Queen Elizabeth Public School, is a spacious and bright facility, said Donnell. The school is 55,500 square feet, suitable for 560 students. The space is a modern learning facility and features large windows and bright classrooms, and the centre corridor will have a learning commons area/library, a two-sided stage and a large gymnasium. The decision for a new consolidated school came about back in 2011, when the school board conducted an accommodation review to look at the use of their buildings and the programming that is offered to students. Due to declining enrolment over a number of years, the study showed there was excess space in Trenton schools, as with many other schools across the province, and the decision to consolidate was made. Construction began in Sept. 2015 after the school board received fund- A look inside a Kindergarten classroom at the new Trent River Public School.

TMH Foundation now accepting applications for Kay Stafford Memorial Fund BY ERIN STEWART
Trenton – The Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation (TMHF) has announced it is now accepting applications from community groups for grants from the Kay Stafford Memorial Fund. Local groups wanting to enhance health care in Quinte West and Brighton for the overall benefit of TMH can now apply for grants until Friday, March 31, at noon. Kay Stafford Fund grants provide medical attention and prevention that in turn reduces the demand on the emergency department and other operations at TMH. All applications meeting the criteria will be considered, but a particular area of interest this year are applications that seek funding for projects that provide education, diagnosis or treatment of conditions such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and diabetes.
In the past, Kay Stafford Memorial Fund grants have been given to groups providing everything from defibrillators to access vehicles and ambulances. "I'm sure she (Kay) is extremely proud of what her gift to the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation has been able to accomplish," said Phil Panelas, honorary lifetime director of the TMH Foundation. Stafford, a lifelong Trenton resident, endowed a gift of $1.2 million in her will to the TMH Foundation and specified that the investment income be disbursed each year. Since 1997, the Kay Stafford Memorial Fund has awarded more than $1.5 million in grants to local groups enhancing health care across Quinte West and Brighton. "The Kay Stafford Fund is a valuable avenue to the public and organizations to seek for assistance when it comes to items that will help further benefit the community's health and decrease the load on our health system," said the Trenton Lion Club's Mike Seymour. "To allow
these vital services to be used where they are most needed for the betterment of the community for the present and the future." Charitable giving is a way to leave your mark on your community but also reduces your estate taxes and ensures your loved ones get the funds you intend to leave them before taxes, said Wendy Warner, executive director of the TMHF. "You can choose to leave your estate to your heirs, the government and/or a charity," she said. "Without adding a charity you estate will pay taxes that will reduce the amount you loved ones will actually receive." Applications for the 2017 Kay Stafford Fund are available at tmhfoundation.com and can be sent online to info@tmhfoundation.com. For more information, contact Warner at 613-392-2540 ext. 5403, or go to tmhfoundation.com.

OPINION
Making China great again
Gwynne Dyer
“Passing the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) is as important to me as another aircraft carrier,” said former US defence secretary Ashton Carter two years ago, as the negotiations on the huge new free trade organization were nearing comple-
tion. Given that the United States already has twice as many aircraft carriers as all the rest of the world put together, that comment could be taken several ways, but Carter actually did mean that the TPP was strategically important in his eyes. As it was for ex-president Barack Obama, who saw the TPP as America’s main tool for containing China’s growing influence in Asia. China, deliberately excluded from the 12-member club, saw it that way too. The official Hsinhua news agency regularly referred to the TPP as “the economic arm of the Obama administration’s geopolitical strategy to make sure that Washington rules supreme in the region.” But the Obama administration is gone, and Donald Trump has just cut off that arm. “A great thing for the American worker, we just did,” Trump said after signing a document withdrawing US support for the TPP on Tuesday. In fact, quitting the TPP is unlikely to do American workers much good economically, but it may not do them much harm either. Most analyses have concluded that the deal wouldn’t have had much effect either way on US wages and jobs – but leaving the TPP will certainly have a big impact on US power and influence in the world. Xinhua was right: for Obama, the TPP was always more about the strategic rivalry with China than it was about economics. It still is, but Donald Trump’s electoral strategy has obliged him to declare war on free trade. The voters that Trump targeted most heavily were working-class Americans who felt betrayed and abandoned as the well-paying jobs in manufacturing disappeared. However, there was no point in telling them that automation was destroying their jobs (which it is), because he could not plausibly promise to stop automation. But if he claimed that the real problem was free trade, which allowed the Chinese and Mexicans and other sneaky foreigners to steal American jobs...well, he could certainly promise to stop that. He would build walls, cancel free-trade deals, even launch trade

wars. It all sounded pretty credible, if you didn’t know that the vast majority of the lost jobs were really being stolen by robots. So once he was in office, Trump was obliged to “unsign” the TPP deal, even though its main purpose, from Washington’s point of view, had been to perpetuate American economic and strategic dominance in Asia and freeze China out. In the eyes of Trump’s supporters (and maybe even in his own), he was slaying a dragon. It looks different through the eyes of America’s erstwhile partners. As Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said in August, eleven other countries had to make big and politically painful concessions in return for access to the huge US market. “If at the end, waiting at the altar, the bride doesn’t arrive, I think that people are going to be very hurt.” And hurt feelings do matter, even in diplomatic circles. The biggest cost to the United States is the fact that America’s defection from the TPP doesn’t automatically kill the notion of an Asian free-trade bloc. Australia is already talking about keeping the TPP going without the United States, but the likelier outcome is that the Asian members start trying to link up with China, Indonesia and even India in China’s proposed Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership. In that case, the United States could end up excluded from a free-trading bloc that includes half of the world economy. The dominant economy in that bloc would be China’s, so the main practical effect of Trump’s action would be to give a major boost to China’s power and influence in the world. This pattern is likely to be duplicated in other areas where Trump is pledged to abandon long-standing US diplomatic commitments. It is already happening in the domain of climate change, where Trump’s decision to “unsign” the 2015 Paris treaty to curb global warming has opened the door to a leadership role for China instead. At the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos earlier this month, China’s President Xi Jinping said that “all signatories must stick to” the Paris deal: “walking away” from the pact would endanger future generations. And while Trump is slashing US spending on climate change, Xi has pledged to invest $360 billion in renewable energy in the next four years to reduce China’s greenhouse gas emissions. It’s easy to look good in the eyes of the rest of the world when the standard of comparison is Donald Trump’s administration. He is making China great again, even if that is not quite what he intended.

It’s Trump-a-palooza time Editorial by Chris Malette So why, you ask while considering the cost of a turnip or cabbage at the farmer’s market, should Donald J. Trump matter a fig to me in bucolic central-east Ontario? Plenty, chum, plenty. It’s been said we sleep cheek-by-jowl with an elephant and when the elephant snorts, farts or rolls over, who gets the sheets yanked from them in the night? That’s right, Mildred, we Canadians. (Apologies for completely mangling the hoary old cliché, but you get the picture.) If the first full week of the Trump presidency hasn’t horrified you, you’re either blissfully unaware, or you’re a flaming neo-conservatuve who quietly or not so quietly are cheering ‘right on! He’s doing what he said he’d do! Woo hoo! Hey Goob, pass me my beer.’ In the span of just one week, Trump managed to shatter relations with one of its most prized trading partners, Mexico with his asinine wall plan, outraged half the planet by slamming shut borders to people from predominantly Muslim nations (and promising to add more to the list) and rattled a sabre that stirred China into posturing for a threat of war. As of this writing the week was in its infancy, so you may be reading an editorial that needs another chapter or two to list Trump’s latest pronouncements to assert his brand of outrageous policies on America and, as mouth follows foot with this vulgarian, the world. With Trump and his cabal of alt-right cranks scarily with their hands on the levers of immense power, there are no terms of overstatement that can sum up the risk in which they place us, his country’s closest neighbours, with each passing day. Many have already determined that the man is, quite simply, mad. We’ve heard claims, insults and dismissals of presidents and prime ministers ranging from delusional to dystopian, but name another time when a goodly number of the world’s deep thinkers and mental health experts fear Americans may well have elected a disturbed man? According to a story in Britain’s online newspaper, The Independent, in December, three leading professors of psychiatry wrote to Barack Obama expressing their grave concerns over Trump’s mental stability: “His widely reported symptoms of mental instability – including grandiosity, impulsivity, hypersensitivity to slights or criticism, and an apparent inability to distinguish between fantasy and reality – lead us to question his fitness for the immense responsibilities of the office,” the

professors from Harvard Medical School and the University of California wrote to the then President, urging him to order a “full medical and neuropsychiatric evaluation” of the then President-elect. It’s widely accepted, even among supporters, that there’s more than a dose of narcissism in the new POTUS. The American Psychiatry Association has a nine-point checklist for narcissism – if someone displays just five of the traits, they have Narcissistic Personality Disorder: • Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements). • Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love. • Believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions). • Requires excessive admiration. • Has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favourable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations. • Is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends. • Lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognise or identify with the feelings and needs of others. • Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her. • Shows arrogant, haughty behaviours or attitudes. Even Trump’s most ardent supporters might struggle to deny that Trump displays at least five of those characteristics. Perhaps, as we mentioned earlier on, you might be blissfully unaware of all of this foofaraw. You may be sitting, happy knitting or have just come in from checking your traplines, to wonder what, pray tell, is all the fuss? Well good for you and your healthy resting heart rate and your equally admirable lack of hypertension and anxiety. As for the rest of us, we’re warily watching the Dooms Day Clock inch perilously close to midnight and it’s no longer a joke shared nervously at Tim’s or the pub. The Trump, it is upon us and as sure as he’s going to provide mental health journals with fodder for his analysis from afar for the next four years, so too is he going to jack the anxiety level of most who dare to to watch and worry both in America and here across our once friendly and safe border.

Pond Hockey Classic is good to go at Batawa BY ROSS LEES
Batawa - Unlike last year, Mother Nature appears to be co-operating with organizer Capt. Jeff Moorhouse and the sixth annual CFB Trenton Pond Hockey Classic. Only days before the situation got critical, the unusually mild temperatures of this month began to drop and ice has been forming on the five rinks in Batawa over the past week. Weather conditions now appear to be ideal for this weekend’s event, which raises funds for the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation and Wounded Warriors Canada (WWC) and is sponsored by Scotiabank and Scotia Wealth Management. According to Capt. Moorhouse, the annual “Puck Drop� dinner scheduled for Friday night at the Batawa Community Centre is sold out. This popular dinner features guest
speakers Ottawa Senators owner and Honorary Colonel Eugene Melnyk and Linda Blanchette, who will also speak about being the spouse of a veteran with PTSD. The actual pond hockey tournament appears set to grow once again as 28 teams are registered so far, according to Capt. Moorhouse, topping the 25 teams that participated last year. “We have 28 teams so far with a couple more in the works,� Capt. Moorhouse noted earlier this week. If indeed 30 teams participate, that would be the highest participation level of the event and would approach the 32-team target Capt. Moorhouse had set for this year. With the five regulation-size pond hockey rinks now Capt. Jeff Moorhouse is shown in this file photo maintaining the rinks during the annual set to host the event, up to 40 teams can be CFB Trenton Pond Hockey Classic. He and his team of volunteers will work hard over the registered for the event. next few days to have this year’s event ready for competition Saturday. Erin Stewart/Metroland

Loyalist b-baller doubles up to be top Lancer BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – Tigh Chapman put up big numbers for the Loyalist Lancers men’s basketball team in its road trip to the nation’s capital last weekend and was named his school’s male athlete of the week. Chapman, a third-year student athlete but first-year Lancer, scored a double-doubles in back-to-back games against the Algonquin Thunder and La Cite Coyotes, scoring a total of 32 points and 26 rebounds between the two games. With the absence of teammates Tyronn King and Chris Asomani due to injury in the two games, Chapman stepped up and lead his team to a 1-1 weekend record. On Saturday, the Lancers lost 70-64 to the host Algonquin Thunder, despite a 17-point, 11-rebound performance by Chapman. The next day, against the Coyotes, he put up 15 more points and hauled in another 11 rebounds Lancers men’s basketball player Tigh to help push his team to a 66-51 victory and boost the Lancers’ season record to 7-7, good for Chapman. Submitted photo sixth place in the 11-team Ontario Colleges Ath-
letic Association East division. The Lancers also played St. Lawrence College in Kingston on Wednesday night, in a game played after press time. As the men’s basketball team fights for a playoff spot, the Lancers women’s basketball team continues to fight through a tough year. The Lancers lost to Algonquin 79-41 on Saturday, to drop to 2-10 in OCAA play this year. They took a four-game losing streak into Wednesday’s road game at St. Lawrence. Volleyball Emile Leneveu named female Lancer of week Loyalist Lancers women’s volleyball player Emile Leneveu earned 16 points in the Lancers 3-0 sweep over La Cite Coyotes on Saturday and earned Lancers female athlete of the week honors. Leneveu, a Belleville native, has been a consistent force in the middle for her team all year, consistently scoring double digit numbers. On Saturday, she had nine kills, four aces and three putting up blocks. The six-foot-one middle has proven herself to
be one of the most effective weapons in the Lancers’ offense, coaches say, with her ability to see holes in the opponent’s defence. Talent aside, Leneveu brings a level of passion and excitement to the game that has been a big part of her team’s success in the second semester. With only three games left in the season the Lancers are in the final push for the playoffs, with hopes of holding onto a top-four finish to earn a home-court crossover match. The Lancers are currently in third-place in the OCAA East division, with an 11-4 record. Leneveu and her team look to spoil an undefeated season for the Durham Lords on Thursday when they travel to Oshawa. The Lords lead the East with a 15-0 record. The men’s volleyball team, meanwhile, is coming off a tough loss to George Brown College on Wednesday, Jan. 25. The game went the distance but the Lancers lost 3-2 (25-10, 25-18, 23-25, 22-25, 15-17). Adam Strickland had 17 kills and one block to lead the Lancers. The Lancers men are now 2-13 on the year.

G-Hawks beat Royals and fans break OJHL’s regular season attendance record
BY ERIN STEWART
Trenton - It was a big night for the Trenton Golden Hawks at the Trenton Memorial Gardens on Friday, Jan. 27. Not only did the Hawks bounce back with a 7-4 win against the Markham Royals after falling to the team in double overtime on Monday, Trenton's fan base also broke the OJHL's regular season attendance record. Rob McDonald, director of marketing and game day operations, said the previous regular season attendance record was 16,101, held by Oakville for the past five years. Trenton has now surpassed the previous record by 779 people, said McDonald, and there are still four more regular season home games to raise the record even higher. Trenton golden Hawks’ co-captain Lucas Brown attempts to get "We smashed the record and I'm so happy for our fans because in a way it's how they get the puck past Markham’s goaltender during the game on Friday recognized," said McDonald.

Baker. Co-captain Lucas Brown agreed. Sorrentino scored his second goal of the night on the "It's awesome, we have the best fans in the league, we had them last year too but there's a lot of excitement this power play just 17 seconds into the third period, assisted year with us hosting to Dudley and going as far as we went by Lewis and Sekelyk. The Royals' Douglas Carter scored a power play goal last year," he said. "I love playing here and everyone else does too, the guys five minutes into the period but the Hawks didn't allow are over the moon excited about how these fans have treat- any more goals. Lewis scored his second goal of the night on the empty ed us and it's a fun place to play." Almost 800 fans attended Friday night's game to watch net with one second remaining in the game, assisted by James Thomson, bringing the final to 7-4 for the Hawks. the G-Hawks' comeback.

Trenton closed Winter Showcase with 5-2 win BY ERIN STEWART
Trenton – The Trenton Golden Hawks bounced back after a double overtime loss against Markham on Monday and beat the Lindsay Muskies 5-2 on Wednesday Jan. 25, closing the 2017 OJHL Winter Showcase on home ice. Jordan Chard set the tone of the game early with the Hawks’ first goal of the night one minute into the first period, assisted by co-captain Lucas Brown and Michael Silveri. Barely four minutes later, Louis DiMatteo scored a second goal, assisted by Chris Sekelyk and Ben Scheel. Heading into the second period with the score 2-0 for the Hawks, Lindsay gained momentum with a power play goal by Noah Dollo. Trenton’s Brown picked up the team’s own power play goal two minutes later, assisted by Sekelyk and Liam Morgan. Chard rounded out the second period with his second goal of the night, assisted by Jeremy Pullara and Brandon Marinelli. Mac Lewis scored the Hawks’ fifth goal in the third period, assisted by Sekelyk and Ben Scheel. The Muskies scored their second and final goal of the night with two minutes to play on a power play goal by Dayton Kent, bringing the final score to 5-2 for the Hawks. Trenton tallied 16 minutes in the box on eight infractions and Lindsay totalled 26 minutes in penalties on nine infractions. G-Hawks goaltender Elliot Gerth saved 20 out of the 22 shots he faced while Lindsay’s Sean Green saved 46 out of the 51 shots he faced. Coach Jerome Dupont said he was impressed with Gerth’s first game in net as a Golden Hawk. “I thought Elliot played really well, there’s certain things he’s got to learn but for game one I thought he did well,” he said. “There’s always a risk but we’ve worked hard with him and he’s really committed to being part of the team and I was impressed with the way he played.”

Gerth said playing his first game after practicing for over a week with his new teammates was great. “It was awesome, starting out I was a little bit nervous, especially a team like that,” he said. “I was able to get a feel for the puck, I didn’t see a whole bunch of shots but the shots I did see I was able to handle really well, it was really nice to get a first win on my first start.” Dupont said it was nice to stay on home ice and host all 22 teams in the division for the 2017 OJHL Winter Showcase this year. “We’re proud to be involved and John did a phenomenal job, it’s nice to host,” he said. Wendy Ouellette, a dedicated GHawks fan, said she was able to make it out to four games during the showcase. “I did leave work early so that I could come this afternoon and see this afternoon’s games, we came over and saw parts of both games,” said Ouellette, during the Hawks game against Lindsay. “I think they’ve done a good job, I think there’s been lots of people around, I would have liked to see a few more fans, but it’s weeknights,” she said. “It’s been good to see all the different teams, I would have liked to see more games and I would like to see games between the different divisions.” Rob McDonald, director of marketing and game day operations, said the three-day hockey stretch went well. “It was a helpful exercise for us leading up to the Dudley-Hewitt Cup, we discovered some things that we’d like to see changed in our processes, so from that it was great,” he said. “The ability to bring more business to Quinte West was huge, lots of hotel spaces, restaurants and the bowling alley got used by the teams staying over.” McDonald said he was pleasantly surprised with the turnout of about 2,900 people overall.

Ontario celebrating 150th with investment in communities SUE DICKENS
Local community groups approved for funding are celebrating. An announcement made Tues. Jan. 24 by the Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport Eleanor McMahon in Toronto noted that in celebration of Ontario's 150th (it is also Canada's 150th this year), the province is investing $7 million in the community celebration program to support 367 local initiatives including multicultural events, art exhibitions, sporting events and local food festivals. Included in the list of recipients is the Campbellford Incredible Edibles Festival as it "celebrates its roots," and they will be receiving $7,500. The festival will take place this year on July 8 and will offer one full day complete with local food vendors, demos and workshops, live music, guest speakers, children's activities and more. Admission is free. Another on the list of recipients is the Municipality of Tweed's Farm to Table community
celebration which will take place July 22. Their grant is for $25,213. A third group is the O'Hara Volunteers Association which is receiving $7,400 for celebrations on July 1. The volunteers work hard to promote, maintain and develop the historic O'Hara Mills Homestead attraction. The City of Quinte West will be receiving $16,374 for their MultiCultural Week which will be held from June 25 to Canada Day. The Prince Edward County Community Care for Seniors Association will be receiving $17,325 to "celebrate seniors" throughout the month of October. "Ontario's 150th anniversary is an opportunity to come together and celebrate the incredible province we live in," said the minister. "Through the Ontario150 program, we are supporting initiatives that recognize the people, places and events that make Ontario great. The community celebration program will ensure that people in every corner of the

Belleville - The new Belleville Senators hockey team will be a major economic boost to Belleville, sportscaster and Belleville Councillor Jack Miller affirmed in a speech to the Probus Club of Belleville last Thursday. In his address, Miller recounted the process from the abrupt pull-out of the Belleville Bulls hockey team and said the response from other leagues to fill the gap was surprising, including some leagues that did not even exist at the time. But when the American Hockey League Binghampton Senators were first suggested, Miller admitted he had serious doubts. “I just could not imagine a professional hockey team in our community,” he said. The key was the benefit of moving the team closer to its affiliate team, the Ottawa Senators, he said. As for the $20 million to renovate the Sports and Wellness Centre, Miller said: “We would have to spend at least $10 million to maintain the existing ice surfaces for hockey and public skating.” The extra expenditures will allow the city to recoup its costs with other major ice events like curling and figure skating, plus top entertainment acts. “We had to give a few things up,” he admitted as negotiations progressed, “but we got an awful lot back.” The payroll for players and staff will be up to $3 million alone, he noted, plus many part time jobs, and most of the players and staff will actually be residing in Belleville and area with their families. Salaries for the American League average $70,000 to $80,000, executive league, plus more in some cases. That’s just the players, he said. Senior executives are much higher. The team’s presence will be a major drawing card for more overnight visitors

and international publicity. One major new hotel complex is already being planned at the intersection of Wallbridge-Loyalist Road and Bell Boulevard, he reported. Questioned on the costs for game admissions, Miller said nothing has been announced yet, but his best guess is they will be similar to former OHA admissions, around $25 for general seating. He was also asked if he would be running for mayor in the next municipal elections. “I really don’t know right now. It is simply too early to tell.”

Stirling Pond Hockey raises $2,600 for Wheelchair Basketball TERRY MCNAMEE
Stirling - A chilly wind and slightly bumpy ice were no deterrent for the 10 teams taking part in the annual Kerr Pond Hockey Tournament on Saturday, Jan. 28 on Oak Lake near Stirling. The event is held to raise money for local charities with a focus on sports. This year's beneficiary is the Wheelchair Basketball Association in Belleville. "The day was a great success," said organizer John Kerr. "This year was our best so far. We raised a little over $2,600. It was a fun day with little issues. The ice turned out great, despite the weather last week. And the weather on Saturday was almost perfect, except for the wind making it a bit cold." Kerr thanked all the participants, sponsors and volunteers for helping make it a success. By the end of the day, the Dusters faced off against District 5 for the championship, with District 5 winning the tournament. "With help from my two brothers, wife, family and many friends, as well as the community in general, this tournament continues to be a great success," Kerr said. He added that Belleville Wheelchair Basketball program organizer Katherine Kerr was there all day helping out and cheering on the teams, "She is thrilled that we are able to donate so much to help out," he said. This year's tournament was held as part of Stirling's Groundhog Fest, which took place Jan. 27-29

Belleville - At their most basic, the Shriners are a bunch of guys who like to have fun. Look no further than the cars barreling around during any area parade or the many waves and sounds you see from Shriners greeting the many happy faces and you’ll see the kinds of antics the group enjoys. But, the Shrine Club is serious business and a fundamental organization when it comes to helping children under the age of 18. The Club supports 18 orthopedic hospitals for crippled children and three burn institutes for children which provide medical care – including operations, plastic surgery and a variety of other scenarios – at no cost to the patients and their families. Locally, the Belleville Shrine Club has members from the city and surrounding communities, including parts of Picton, Quinte West, Stirling Townships, Madoc, Marmora and Tweed.

School closures can devastate rural communities, county councillors say BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – If any rural schools are to close, it likely won’t happen without a fight from Hastings County councillors. The subject of the Hastings & Prince Edward District School Board’s accommodation review triggered an emotional conversation at the Thursday, Jan. 26 county council meeting, with many agreeing that when a rural school closes, it has an incredible adverse effect on its municipality. The discussion followed a tense public meeting held in Madoc a week earlier, where many citizens spoke in favour of keeping Madoc Township Public School open. The board’s accommodation review is proposing that Madoc Township school be closed and students there be moved to Madoc Public School. It also suggests relocating
Grade 7 and 8 students from Madoc Public School to Centre Hastings Secondary School, creating a Grade 7-12 model, for September 2017. Tweed Mayor Jo-Anne Albert said it’s important for councillors to voice their concerns over the issue. She said she was concerned to learn that not all school board trustees attended the Madoc meeting, even though all trustees will eventually vote on the decision. “We, as Hastings County, need to send a resolution out,” she said. “We need to look at what they’re doing to a small rural community, when a school leaves.” Faraday Township Reeve Carl Tinney expressed a counter-argument, saying he understood the school board’s stance; that it’s difficult to fund small, under-utilized schools.
“We have to understand the economics,” he said. “One way or the other, we’re going to pay for it.” Centre Hastings Mayor Tom Deline, however, argued that the Ministry of Education’s funding formula, which funds school boards on a per-pupil basis, has to change, so that rural schools can survive. “You really can’t blame the school board,” he said. “The province has to change how they fund these things. It’s not good for rural Ontario.” He said closing a school in a rural community is as emotionally difficult as closing an arena. It means a future generation of children will grow up spending little time in their own municipality, and then lose a connection to it. Many agreed with Deline and Hastings County Warden Rodney Cooney said he’s had the

Marmora Snofest sets record for oldest sled dog races
SUE DICKENS
Marmora- Celebrating its 39th year, the Marmora SnoFest has earned the distinction of being the oldest series of races for sled dogs in Canada. Due to the international races scheduled in Haliburton on the first weekend of February, Marmora SnoFest will be hosting their races during the second weekend of February for the first time since its run began in 1979. "SnoFest was started to help pull Marmora out of a depression. The mines had closed and
they really tried to think of something that could give the community some inspiration," said Richard Lowery, a past chairperson for many years and a current director on the board. He is a member of the committee that "is now doing the honours of organizing SnoFest." The three-day event begins on Friday, Feb. 10, kicking off with the popular "Marmora's Got Talent" show at 7:30 p.m. at Marmora Senior School and the friendly Back of Cordova curling challenge for the coveted BC
Cup, which continues on Saturday. "The talent show is shaping up brilliantly," said Lowery. "This will be our seventh year and every year it gets better and bigger." Something new this time will be moving the Little Nippers races to 5:30 p.m. on Friday, prior to the talent show and official opening ceremonies. The Little Nippers races are also being held on Sunday from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. "Beyond that, there's sled dog
races of all sorts - and in addition, there is local food and an artisans' market in the community centre from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, where vendors offer everything from baked goods to knitting, woodworking, sewing, preserves, baby clothes and more," noted Lowery. A baked bean luncheon will be held at St. Andrew's Church from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday. A windup party at the Bunker restaurant takes place on Sunday, Feb. 12, with the awards being presented from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Eric Lawlor, from the Ontario Soil & Crop Improvement Association will provide a timely update on the potential funding sources from Growing Forward 2 and other programs delivered by the Association. This stellar line-up of speakers and others will occur throughout the day. And don’t forget the delicious hot-roast beef dinner and over 40 local exhibitors – all for free.

TRAVEL BY JOHN M. SMITH
A visit to Larson’s Famous Clydesdales Clydesdale, the 2300 pound “Big Bud”, that’s harnessed before our very eyes. We, the spectators, are then escorted to a nearby covered grandstand, where we get to witness the harnessed Clydesdale strut about. After this demonstration, we walked to the barn to view more of these magnificent animals, including a 4-week old baby Clydesdale; however, I’m told that this ‘baby’ weighed about 200 pounds at birth! Oh, momma, now that’s quite a ‘baby’! I also learned that this viewing of a young foal is somewhat rare, for the mortality rate among young Clydesdales is quite high (about 50%). Judy explained that there’s a lack of antibodies in the mother’s milk, so blood is drawn from the mother to make plasma for the baby in case it’s necessary – and this precaution has been very successful for the Larsons and their horses. We were even able to pet this young colt and his mother on our visit to the barn. I discovered that the Larsons had 13 of these magnificent draft horses at the time of my visit, and their barn wall was covered with some of their prize-winning ribbons from the many champions that they had raised and competed with. After all, one of their Clydesdales, Famous Reggie, won Grand Champion Gelding at several successive major shows - and Famous Reggie also served as right hand wheel horse on their prize-winning sixup hitch. What makes this six-up hitch particularly unique is that all six horses are siblings, all bred from the same mother and father, and TOURS Cal believes that “this has never been done before.” The couple’s
With the approach of another “Super Bowl,” my thoughts turn not only to the upcoming game itself but also to the anticipation of yet another Budweiser commercial featuring their magnificent Clydesdale horses. This beer company has certainly produced some smart marketing ads that have featured these magnificent, mammoth horses, but last year I was ‘thrown a curve’, for the Clydesdales were not used in their Super Bowl Sunday anti drunk driving campaign. I wrote a piece, at that time, about my visit to the brewery in St. Louis, Missouri and my meeting with these Clydesdales, and I was reminded of those magnificent animals again this past summer when I visited some other Clydesdales, this time near Ripon, Wisconsin. These Wisconsin Clydesdales, Larson’s Famous Clydesdales, have also become a popular tourist attraction, and I discovered that this particular destination was a great place to get ‘an up close and personal look’ at these ‘gentle giants’. After all, the Larsons (Judy and Cal) have been the proud owners of Clydesdales for more than 40 years, and each summer, from mid May to mid October, they present a 90-minute behind-the-scenes guided tour and show six days a week (not Sundays) at 1 pm. During the tour, Judy shows off her trucks, trailers, wagons, harnesses, and equipment – and then she has Cal bring out their champion

four children were brought up around the horses, truly making it a family affair. All four won junior driving classes at the National Clydesdale Show. However, all four are now grown and have left the farm, leaving Judy and Cal totally in charge of the operation. The couple is now in their late 60s and early 70s, and they steadfastly believe that “the show must go on”. Cal does the driving and training of the horse hitches, and I was particularly impressed by the energy level of Judy, for she seemed to be doing so much. When we arrived at the farm, she was out on the country road, directing us where to park. She then narrated the personalized tour and show, sold popcorn

(which she’d previously made “in the wee hours of the morning”) to any interested patrons on their way to the farm’s covered grandstand, and then, after the entire presentation, could be found in the Clydesdale’s gift shop, selling souvenirs. The cost of this tour and grandstand show is $15.00 (adult) and $5.00 (child aged 11 and under). Larson’s Famous Clydesdales are located near Ripon, Wisconsin, a destination that’s also known as being the birthplace of the Republican Party (in the Little White Schoolhouse), so you might want to check this out while in this area.

However, a large marble bar now runs along the length of the main floor. I was able to dine directly within the old bank vault, so that was rather unique and interesting, too.

Retired OMAFRA manager presented Agricultural Service Diploma JOHN CAMPBELL
Campbellford - Linda Anderson is this year's recipient of the Agricultural Service Diploma, presented by the Campbellford-Seymour Agricultural Society in recognition of her years of service to the organization and contributions to agriculture locally. Outgoing fair board president John Finlay said Anderson "has been involved in every aspect of agriculture" since growing up on a farm in what was then Seymour Township. She worked for 35 years at the Brighton office of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA), where, as a
"young, efficient and enthusiastic secretary," she essentially "ran" the 4-H program for the area. She was the office manager by the time she retired, but she has continued to serve as an active volunteer, in the homecraft division and as a sponsor of 4-H classes. She has also organized the 4-H calf show for a good many years. She was the person at the OMAFRA building in Brighton who "knew everything and anything about the operation of the 4-H program, and kept everybody organized," said Jennifer Jeffs, who moved up to become the new presi-
dent of the agricultural society. "Linda is very passionate about the 4-H program and has been a strong supporter of 4-H all her life," she said. After she retired she joined the Northumberland 4-H Association and served as its treasurer for many years. "Her wealth of knowledge of the agricultural community and 4-H was a great asset," Jeffs said. Anderson, who lives in Campbellford, said she enjoyed her years spent on the farm and her career with the ministry at Brighton. "They were a great bunch to work for," she said.
Linda Anderson, in the middle, was presented an Agricultural Service Diploma from the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies by the new president of the Campbellford-Seymour Agricultural Society, Jennifer Jeffs, and its president for the past two years, John Finlay. John Campbell/Metroland
Madoc farm service company receives investment in technology SUE DICKENS
Madoc - Investment in the future of family-owned and operated Wideman's Farm Service by the federal government is helping the company bring technology to the community as it targets future growth in what is basically a rural business in an agricultural area. "He brought manufacturing to Madoc," said Melanie Wright, project manager with the Eastern Ontario Development Program (EODP). The investment of $100,000 was announced by the Community Futures Development Corporation (CFDC) of North and Central Hastings and South Algonquin under the EODP's Business Development stream for "integration of new technology".
The announcement was being made jointly with MP Hastings-Lennox and Addington Mike Bossio. The program requires matching funds and the company has done that and more. "This is a great fit for the community. I'd like to see more of this happening ... People need to know this funding is out there for them," said Wright. For Wideman the investment means he is able to bring technology to Madoc. "Since I have a CNC plasma cutter and CNC press brake we were able to purchase with grant money, we are doing work no one else is doing," said owner Eli Wideman. "This machinery we purchased has helped us to put more work into the com-
munity enabling us to do more in-house." The funding is aimed at supporting technological innovation, resulting in increased productivity, efficiency and new jobs. "We were able to hire three full-time employees from the community," said Wideman, who relocated his family and his business which was started in 2000, from Fordwich to Madoc in 2012. "Where we came from was very industrial but here if you want a manufacturing shop it takes much more effort," he commented. He now has four fulltime employees and two of his sons work there parttime. As well as hiring locally, he likes to source his mate-
Bayview AutoBody
rials locally. For example he buys from Crawford Metal Corporation, a steel supplier in Trenton. Wideman sees the investment as a positive step
forward for the community as well as his business, and said he appreciates all that it will do. "We are thankful for the moneys that have been
forwarded to us through this program and we are confident that it will filter back into the community through jobs created," he concluded.

The Good Earth: Gardening shows are a good prescription for winter blahs
Dan Clost Before you know it, Gentle Reader, the Spring Garden Show Circuit will be upon us beginning in early March and on into April. Usually, winter
has let loose its icy grip...usually...and we can feel a lightness returning to our being. Those dark gloomy days that seemed to go on forever without a spark of warmth will fade into memories of a winter of discontent; the frigid fingers of lazy winds that cut through to the bone instead of going around the body will give way to gentle zephyrs that soothe frozen cheeks and dispositions; the looming banks of massed clouds will bring the soft, melting rains of spring: ... I could go on but I’m not so good with this type of prose. And, gosh darn it, February is just getting revved up; we got a ways to go. Nevertheless, the shows are coming. They are often scheduled on the same weekend so we need to plan accordingly. I can’t list every show or event, mainly because I’m not aware of some of them: if you would like me to include your gardening show, please contact me. So here’s a brief run-down to help you fill out your daybook. March 4: Quinte West Seedy Saturday, 10 to 2
Prince Charles Public School, 138 Dufferin Avenue South, Trenton, Quinte West, Features free workshops, many new and returning vendors selling heirloom, open pollinated seeds and our seed exchange. Free admission. Drinks and food available for purchase. Contact Colleen O’Reilly at clo_reilly@yahoo. ca or 613-475-6139 March 10-19: Canada Blooms, at Toronto’s Enercare Centre (Just think “Exhibition Place” and remember you’ll be driving through the Princes’ Gates. Meaning no disrespect to the folks who put up the big dollars to have their name on the buildings but I’ve lost count of the different monikers over the years.) This is still Canada’s premier garden and, once again, the venue is shared with The National Home Show, so there are lots to look at for everyone. March 24-26: Kingston Home & Garden Show (colocated with the Kingston Boat and Recreation Show) at the Kingston 1000 Islands
Sportsplex. Look for landscaping ideas and lawn equipment. April 7-9: The Peterborough Garden Show at The Evinrude Centre 911 Monaghan Road Peterborough, Ontario. There are many exhibits and products focussing on the home gardener with a terrific speaker lineup. April 7-9: Kingston Home Show (presented by the Kinsmen) at the Cataraqui Sports Complex, Sydenham Rd. at the 401. This is now Kingston’s biggest home show with over 140 exhibitor booths on two arena pads. Gentle Reader, home and building shows might not seem to have a gardening focus but there will always be some outdoor aspects that will apply. April 7-9 Quinte Home & Lifestyle Show, (Quinte Home Builders Association) at the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre, 265 Cannifton Road, (Just South of Adam Street). This is a good show to meet local landscaping companies and discuss upcoming projects. April 28-30: Bay of Quinte
Home Show, Trenton Community Gardens. The Women’s Show runs concurrently with this event, usually located upstairs in the main rink. This is definitely a take-in event for the local community. Folks, make sure to check with your local tourism bureaus and garden clubs/horticultural societies for other events. Certainly, you will be able to find something happening within your community almost every weekend. I was asked, recently, if I had to choose just one show to attend, which it would be. The challenge is that each show is unique and has something special to offer to gardeners. However, “gardener” is the key word and it is upon that sole qualifier upon which my answer is based. Sadly, Canada Blooms is not my choice although it should be. Any Seedy Saturday is a close second but The Peterborough Garden Show is the one that remains closely connected to the handson, home gardeners, just like Gentle Reader.

Bossio gets glimpse of $3 million cheese investment Ivanhoe – Mike Bossio, MP for Hastings—Lennox and Addington and chair of the Liberal rural caucus toured Ivanhoe Cheese at the invitation of Gay Lea Foods Co-operative Limited.
According to a statement from Bossio’s office, Gay Lea Foods has made a $2.9 million investment in its international award-winning “Nothing But Cheese” product at the Ivanhoe facility, which Bossio had
the opportunity to see for himself. Nothing But Cheese product, is described as a “crunchy snack made with 100 per cent Ivanhoe cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.”
“This is rural Innovation at its best. It’s a 100 per cent Canadian product, and right here in our riding in Ivanhoe is the only place where it’s being made,” said Bossio after touring the plant Thursday, Jan. 26. Bossio was joined by plant manager Edo Koel and Gay Lea Foods president and CEO, Michael Barrett.
“I was amazed at the depth of knowledge that this whole team has,” said Bossio. “I was a recruiter for over 30 years, and it’s clear that Gay Lea Foods has an incredible team at the Ivanhoe Cheese plant. The calibre of the cheese makers is extremely high, and like a good rural company, they respect the importance of community and sourcing things locally.” The tour came just before the Bossio resumes his duties at the House of Commons, which began sitting again on Monday.

Ivanhoe Cheese began as a small dairy co-operative that specialized in artisan aged cheddar for more than a century before privatizing in 1986 and expanding to produce a variety of specialty cheeses. The company joined Gay Lea Foods in 2008, where they continue to produce award-winning artisan cheddars, as well as an extensive selection of unique and specialty cheeses, including naturally smoked Gouda, multiple flavoured goat cheddars, and a number of kosher and halal varieties.

Red Jenny and the Boys Theatre Guild serving up Foster funnies warm up Old Church BY JACK EVANS
Quinte West - In the first of a Fireside Sunday Matinee series of concerts, the Old Church Theatre will present Toronto’s “Red Jenny and the Boys” on Sunday February 5. The trio consists of singer Jen Cook, who also tours
with the bluegrass/roots band Whiskey Jack, bassist Bob Hewus, who plays extensively in Musical Theatre and Doug Balfour, pianist, who also plays with the legendary R & B band Robbie Lane and the Disciples and has also played for Michael Buble.
The band plays multiple musical styles including jazz, big band, blues, swing and bluegrass. Show starts at 2 p.m. and advance tickets are available at www.oldchurch.ca or by calling Lesley Bonisteel (613)-848-1411
Belleville Theatre Guild is back in a humorous mood as they prepare to present two one-act Norm Foster plays for their next show. Now established as one of Canada’s most prolific and comedic playwrights, a Foster show almost always draws a large and happy audience. His plays not only contain hilarity, but intelligent wit and comedy. The opening, this Thursday (tonight) of two more recent one-act plays,is a change from earlier plans to re-stage the popular “Melville Boys” play. Its replacement is “My Narrator” and “The Death of Me.” Both shows have attracted strong interest and casting from the guild’s well-known and highly talented
stable of actors. Both are likely to be hilariously rewarding. “My Narrator” is about a young woman whose voice in her head (conscience) does its own thing and leads her to love under unusual circumstances. “The Death of Me” sees a recently deceased man bargaining with the angel of death for a second chance so he can correct some of his mistakes. The revived cadaver soon learns that in correcting past mistakes, it is easy to make all kinds of new ones. Opening night at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 2, will be followed by the traditional opening reception in the green room to meet and greet the cast. The show continues through Feb. 18 with 8 p.m. shows Tuesday through Saturday and matinees on Sundays at 2 p.m.
Toronto’s “Red Jenny and the Boys” will play The Old Church theatre, Johnstown Road, north of Trenton on Sunday February 5. Submitted photo

County still on trail of scofflaw Jim Sinclair BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – Somewhere in Michigan, someone is searching for a convicted environmental offender and demolition man to serve him legal papers on behalf of Hastings County taxpayers. The search for Jim Sinclair is still on, County Chief Administrative Officer Jim Pine told council members at a Thursday, Jan. 26 meeting. Pine said the disgraced businessman still owes about $750,000 in unpaid fines as a result of convictions linked to environment damage on the site of his former Belleville businesses, Thermosets Ltd. and Demolition and Recycling Inc. on the site of the former Bakelit plan on Dundas Street East. Pine said the county has hired a legal team to work on its behalf in Michigan, where Sinclair is believed to now be living. “We didn’t think the fact that he has left the county was a reason to not go after the money he owes us,” Pine said. Pine said the judgements handed to Sinclair in Hastings County courts are enforceable in the United States. The legal team working with the county also believes Sinclair has assets, both personal and from businesses, that could be accessed to recover the funds. However, the challenge is to find him, serve him papers, and get him into an ex-
amination room, Pine said. That work is being left to the county’s legal team in Michigan, in which Pine says he has full confidence. “It’s a challenge, but we’re up to it,” he said. Sinclair’s history of ignoring environmental regulations, adding pollution to the Bay of Quinte and ignoring environmental laws and orders, is well documented. Thermosets Ltd. and Demoliton and Recycling were businesses located at 621 Dundas St. E. in Belleville, the site of the former Bakelite manufacturing plant that produced resins and formaldehyde. Following investigations by the Ministry of the Environment’s Investigations and Enforcement Branch, in 2008 Sinclair and his businesses were convicted of various violations under the Ontario Water Resources Act. Those violations related to excavations and discharges from the site, including the discharge of PCB-contaminated sediments and failure to comply with orders issued under the Act to remediate the site and clean-up the discharged sediment. In December 2008, Sinclair and his businesses were fined a total of $659,00 plus victim fine surcharges for violating the Ontario Water Resources Act and sentenced to four months in jail.

It’s the buzz at Loyalist: cannabis on campus
BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – Loyalist is abuzz with excitement after becoming the first college in Canada to be approved to study cannabis for medical purposes. The college announced in a media release last week that it’s gained approval from Health Canada to study the plant in its renowned supercritical carbon dioxide extraction laboratory. It’s exciting news, say college officials, given the growing interest in studying the once-taboo drug. Clinics that can help patients gain access to medical marijuana, with a doctor’s prescriptions, are now popping up around the country, more than a year after Canada’s new federal government was elected on a platform that included legalizing and regulating marijuana use. Biosciences professor Dr. Kari Kramp, who will be involved in the studies, said those in the research community want to ensure cannabis products can be developed in a “consistent and high quality” manner. The studies set the stage for safe and effective cannabis products to one day be commonly prescribed to patients.
“This is a very biologically relevant area of study from a medical standpoint,” she said. No cannabis has arrived on campus for study yet, she stressed. The Health Canada approval has only just been granted. The next step for the college is to partner with groups in the health care industry and academic worlds to develop projects. When the research begins, Loyalist’s lab can be used to “extract and evaluate the medically significant components of the cannabis plant” by using “innovative green technologies” the college said in its press release. Third-year students in Kramp’s bio-sciences program will likely be involved in future projects by using advanced instrumentation and extraction techniques. She said current students were thrilled to learn the news that the college had gained Health Canada approval. It’s no easy task, as the approval process started three years ago. The news was also very exciting to new Loyalist College President & CEO Ann Marie Vaughan. She said it’s proof that Loyalist is on the “cutting edge” when it comes to applied research.
