Curtain falls on plans to revitalize Town Hall

By Erin Stewart

Trenton - Members of the Trent Port Historical Society thought their dreams of a revitalized historical space and James Alexander Theatre for live productions were going to come true, but it appears those hopes have exited stage left.

The James Alexander Theatre is no longer going to be upgraded to meet code for live theatre. The fire curtain that needs to be installed to meet fire regulations is too heavy, weighing more than 10,000 lbs., and more money would have to be invested into the project to reinforce the floors, something the city is not prepared to do.

“In its current state, for live theatre, we can’t use it,” said Coun.

Allan DeWitt. “As we got the rest of the information, with regards to the fire curtain and changes that would have to be upstairs to meet code, we realized the structure itself can’t handle it. We would be spending a lot more money than we initially thought.”

City council set aside $100,000 in their capital budget for the revitalization the Trenton Town Hall, including $80,000 for the fire curtain, and also took over paying the heat and hydro for the building. DeWitt estimates that the upgrades to the theatre would now cost an addition-

al $100,000, so the original plans are not moving forward.

“It’s going to become a ‘sitting venue,’ much like what the marina is,” DeWitt said.

The plan is to have the seating removed and using the space as a hall, to be rented for weddings, service groups and live music.

“We didn’t want to see this not happen, we went into it trying to make it happen, but you have to realize, when something’s not feasible, what you can make out of it,” he said.

Laura Rickards, manager of the Heritage café, said the Trent Port Historical Society was told about the new decisions in a meeting with city staff on Wednesday Jan. 27.

She said theatre supporters are saddened that the theatre will not be upgraded. The society had big plans to host live productions, plays for children, guest speakers and many other events for the community.

“It’s heartbreaking, there’s no doubt about it and it’s heartbreaking for Trenton,” Rickards said. “It could have been rebuilt.”

DeWitt said he would still like to see live theatre in Quinte West thrive and thinks a possible partnership with the theatre at Trenton High School would be a good alternative.

The society is sad about the loss of

“First of all, it has drawn a lot of people in, we didn’t get the foot traffic before, people didn’t event know there was a museum here.

Now there’s a little community developing … it feels homey.”

Rickards and Chouinard describe the Heritage Café as the heart of the Trenton Town Hall. Since the café opened around a year ago, it has been the centre of events that have drawn in many more people to the museum.

DeWitt said there have been discussions about the future of Heri-

Belleville

tage Café but the city has not made any decisions at this time.

“We know they want foot traffic coming into the building so we are in discussions about that and no decisions have been made,” he said.

“We are working closely with the historical society to come up with the right answers.”

The city is currently in the process of creating a business plan for the facility.

“It still will be an arts and cultural centre and historical centre but as far as live theatre we have to continue to work with that group and try and find something for them,” DeWitt said.

Batawa’s Wait n’ Ski carves lines for kids’ program

Batawa - More than $900 was raised in support of the Children’s Foundation’s playing for keeps program during the Wait N’ Ski event at the Batawa ski hill on Sunday Feb. 7, 2016.

The lack of natural snow isn’t stopping the fun at the Batawa ski hill this season. The second annual Wait n’ Ski charity server race was filled of laughs and smiles on the fresh man-made snow on the slopes this mild winter season. The event coincided with the 95.5. Hits FM-Cool 100 FM Batawa Ski Day festivities.

“It went wonderful,” said Hannah Brown, communications coordinator for Batawa ski hill. “Everyone had a great time, everyone was safe, so many smiling faces.

We love it.”

Four teams competed in this year’s event, racing down the hill holding a tray in one hand with three dishes on it. Team members attempted to ski or snowboard down the hill as fast as they could without dropping their dishes or touching their tray with both hands.

The teams were made up of staff from Tomasso’s Italian Grill, Belleville’s Canadian Tire, the Batawa Grill and the Children’s Foundation.

It was Mel McGilvray’s first year participating on Tomasso’s team, she said it was a great day for a Mel McGilvray, on team Tomasso’s, celebrates crossing the finishing line because she didn’t drop any of her dishes skiing down the hill during the second annual Wait n’ Ski event at the Batawa ski hill on great cause.

“It was a lot of fun, we made Sunday Feb. 7. Photo by Erin Stewart it down the hill and none of us dropped anything so that was great,” she said.

Tomasso’s entry was the top fundraising team for the event, raising $200 to support the Children Foundation’s Playing for Keeps program.

“We as a staff collected $100 and then the Kotsovos family, who we work for, matched it and wrote a cheque for $100,” said McGilvray.

She said she is looking forward to participating in the event again next year and said she is hoping they could possibly incorporate toboggans into the race.

By day’s end, including personal donations, the event raised more than $900.

All of the funds from at the Wait n’ Ski event are put towards the Playing for Keeps program, the Children’s Foundation’s program to register children in any activity they love.

Last year the Playing for Keeps program funded 542 kids with registration for activities.

Our TMH celebrates one-year anniversary

By Erin Stewart Trenton - Our TMH has now been fighting to keep services at Trenton Memorial Hospital (TMH) for one year, a cause for celebration with more than 80 people at the Trent Port Marina on Tuesday Feb. 2.

“For us, it’s a very big anniversary,” said John Smylie, co-chair of Our TMH. “Over the past year this group has really grown and gained a lot of respect and credibility in this community and I think people have come to realize that when you speak out and have a group like this behind you, you really can get some things done.”

Our TMH was formed at the beginning of 2015 when there was talk of shutting down the emergency department at TMH. Smylie said the biggest highlight of the year for him was being vocal and receiving funding that guaranteed the emergency department would stay open.

The advocacy group has been supported by hundreds of people throughout the community over the past year at multiple rallies and events. The group also helped to present a list of recommendations through the Brighton and Quinte West Task Force to Quinte Health Care.

“We need more types of clin-

ics and services here in Trenton,” Smylie said. “We need to utilize the whole hospital and not leave it sit empty when we could be putting services together and creating a health care hub.”

Smylie said Our TMH members have put in thousands of hours of work over the past year and they are definitely not finished. Our TMH is now part of the group put together by the Local Health Integration Network to find out how to implement recommendations from the Brighton and Quinte West Task Force.

“We’re going to help them implement and make sure we are there representing Our TMH and Trenton Memorial Hospital,” Smylie said.

“Make sure that we are doing what we think is in the best interest of our community as much as we can.”

The proposed veteran’s wing of TMH is getting more attention.

MPP Lou Rinaldi said he recently met with the Minister of Veterans Affairs about having one of the Liberals proposed veteran’s centre’s being in Trenton.

“I had a great meeting with the Minister of Veterans Affairs just 10 days ago, to look at a veteran’s Our TMH advocacy group members and supporters were proud to celebrate Our TMH’s one-year anniversary at the Trent Port marina on Tuesday Feb. 2. wing,” Rinaldi said. “We’re going to work, along with you, with your land one of those (veteran’s wing’s) Smylie said Our TMH is still on erything they believe is best for the their mission and will push for ev- community support, to make sure that we try to right here in Trenton.”

Some people affected with Alzheimer’s or dementia can be very focused and are not stopped by hazards or barriers he said. People with autism or Down syndrome may know they are lost but, Raycroft said they will often move away from searchers and will not call for help, making the risks of people wandering with cognitive impairments very high.

Trenton - The Hastings-Prince Edward Alzheimer Society and Quinte West OPP have partnered to launch Project Lifesaver, a program to safely help bring home loved ones who wander.

Janette Cox, program support and administration, said the Alzheimer’s Society is very excited to be the first to launch the program in South-Eastern Ontario and they feel very passionate about the project. “I’m super excited, nothing but good things can come of this,� Cox said. “It’s a simple system, it’s an effective system, it’s an efficient system, and most of all it brings your loved ones home safely, so there’s nothing more important than that.�

Project Lifesaver works when a person diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or other dementia wears a personalized wristband that emits a tracking signal. The Quinte West OPP now have 10 trained electronic search specialists who have special radio frequency equipment that allow them to more easily locate someone who has wandered by zeroing in on the person wearing the wristband. “Sixty percent of the people affected by Alzheimer’s or dementia will wander,� Cox said. “We also know that 50 percent of those people who are not found within the first 24 hours are not going to be found in the condition you’re hoping for.�

There are a number of requirements in order to be eligible for the Project Lifesaver program, including having a diagnosis of a cognitive impairment and being monitored by a caregiver 24 hours a day.

The enrolment fee for the program is $50, the cost of leasing the wristband is $350 and there is a battery change fee every two months of $20.

Const. Matt Raycroft, member of the Quinte West OPP emergency response team and instructor for electronic search specialists, said there was a need for this program in Quinte West. He started looking for community groups to partner with and administrate the program and the Alzheimer’s Society was quick to respond. “There were at least 15 calls for service last year regarding persons that would fall within these categories that the frontline members could have benefited from having

the equipment to locate the people quickly,� Raycroft said, noting thankfully all 15 people were located unharmed.

Raycroft said it’s important the police are called as soon as someone has gone missing and it’s false information that some people think they should wait or look themselves before calling police. “We know that the risks are very high when these people wander so we want a call right away, especially when they have the equipment because the faster that we can get

OPINION

North Korea’s deterrent

Here we go again. North Korea launched a ballistic missile of intercontinental range on Sunday (saying it was just putting up a satellite) only weeks after it carried out its fourth nuclear weapons test (which it claimed was a hydrogen bomb). The United Nations Security Council condemned it, Gwynne Dyer strongly and even the People’s Republic of China, North Korea’s only ally, expressed its “regret” at what the country had done.

There will certainly now be more UN sanctions against Kim Jong-un’s isolated regime. But there have already been four rounds of UN military and economic sanctions since North Korea’s first nuclear test in 2006, and Pyongyang just ignores them.

Clearly, this is something that the North Korean regime wants so badly that it is willing to endure considerable punishment in order to get it. But why is this very poor country spending vast sums in order to be able to strike its neighbours – and even the United States, for that is what the intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) are about – with nuclear weapons?

Well, here’s a clue. What the North Korean government said after last month’s hydrogen bomb test was this: “The DPRK (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) is a genuine peace-loving state which has made every effort to protect peace on the Korean Peninsula and security in the region from the vicious US nuclear war scenario.

“The US is a gang of cruel robbers that has worked hard to bring even a nuclear disaster to the DPRK. By succeeding in the H-bomb test ... the DPRK proudly joined the advanced ranks of nuclear weapons states ... and the Korean people demonstrated the spirit of a dignified nation equipped with the most powerful nuclear deterrent.”

Never mind the stilted rhetoric and gutter abuse; North Korean propagandists always talk like that.

Listen to the key words that are almost buried under the surrounding invective. North Korea’s nuclear weapons program, they say, is meant to “protect ... the region from ... the US ... nuclear war scenario” by creating a “most powerful nuclear deterrent.”

Really? Do they actually fear that the United States might use nuclear weapons on them, and that they can only be safe if they have their own hydrogen bombs and ICBMs? Are they doing all this purely as a defensive measure?

Of course they are. However bad-tempered and impulsive they sounded, the men of the Kim family, father, son and grandson, who have ruled North Korea in dynastic succession for the past 68 years were not crazy. They never started a war, because they knew they would lose it, and the current incumbent is certainly not going to start a nuclear war.

He would have to be crazy to do that. North Korea lacks the resources to build more than a few bombs a year, and it does not have the technologies to ensure that the missiles it may one day have won’t get shot down. It will probably never be able to guarantee that it can strike even South Korea or Japan with nuclear missiles, let alone the United States.

Everybody in the North Korean hierarchy (along with some millions of other North Koreans) would certainly be dead only hours after the regime launched nuclear weapons at any of those countries. The United States has literally thousands of nuclear weapons. It would take only a few dozen quite small ones to virtually exterminate the entire ruling elite, and North Korea would have no way of stopping them.

A few not-very-high-tech nuclear weapons would give Pyongyang no usable ability to launch a nuclear attack against the United States or its allies. They would, however, give it a pretty credible nuclear deterrent.

Launching a few nuclear weapons against a major nuclear power is suicidal, but those same few weapons can be a perfectly good deterrent against a nuclear attack by that same power, because they give the weaker party a capacity for “revenge from the grave.” Even a country as powerful as the United States will behave very cautiously when faced with the possibility that an opponent might land even one or two nuclear weapons on its territory.

North Korea has lived under the implicit threat of US nuclear weapons for almost seven decades, and the United States has never promised not to use its those weapons against it. It’s almost surprising that we haven’t seen North Korean nuclear weapons before now.

North Korea is just doing the same thing that Pakistan did in the 1980s and 90s out of fear of Indian nuclear weapons, and that Iran was doing in fear of both Pakistani and Israeli nuclear weapons in the last 15 years.

The Security Council is quite right to try to block North Korea’s nuclear weapons program, and the successful use of international sanctions to stop Iran offers some hope that it may succeed. But North Korea is not a crazy state plotting a nuclear holocaust at the cost of its own extinction. Its nuclear weapons program is a perfectly rational – although highly undesirable – policy for a small country with a big problem.

You can’t mush in the mush Editorial - Chris Malette It was yet another announcement among the flurry of warnings these past weeks that ice is unsafe, heavy rainfall is expected (in February!) and Toronto set a record for plus 16 last week.

A crappy winter season has caused the cancellation of the planned Cops `n Kids ice fishing derby being planned by Belleville Police for Feb. 13.

“The recent weather has made the ice unsafe and we can’t take any chances of injury,” said Const. Pat Comeau, the organizer.

And on it goes.

The official word from places like the Weather Channel was this: “Winter will be milder than normal across much of Canada. This rings especially true for Canadians living across the Prairies and into northern Ontario ..

“For those Canadians living in southern Ontario to Atlantic Canada, it will be considerably milder than the past two winters.”

No kidding, Sherlock.

But, the experts expect “an extended period of classic winter during the second half of the season, which should result in near normal for the winter as a whole…”

Okay, snowmobilers, cross-country skiers, winter resorts, ski clubs, ice fishing enthusiasts, outdoor shinny players – any number of people who love a classic Canadian winter are still waiting for the return of Old Man Winter.

Take our friends at Marmora’s SnoFest who have had to postpone the event’s famed dog sled races until the Feb. 27-28 weekend. They’re hoping against hope that the winds will blow some snow our way to carry on a classic event that’s been a Centre Hastings staple for decades.

The festival went ahead with its other events last weekend, however, and answered this question on its website: “Why doesn’t SnoFest postpone all events so that they all run on the same weekend as the races?”

“The biggest reason is how much work has gone into organizing this weekend. We have secured permits, booked talent, gotten approval to close down a street, confirmed

volunteers, and paid for media while managing our website and social media to keep everyone up-to-date. And that doesn’t even include the work that has gone into preparing for the races. There are, at least, seven different organizing teams running the events. All volunteers. All who have been working for the past few months to pull this together.

“With all that being said, you can see how it would be a massive undertaking to move the events that aren’t weather dependent to another weekend. We also, don’t have confirmation that the races will be able to run on our rain date either. So all could be for naught. “(Yes), the turnout would be better if the races were on, people love the dogs. And people travel for the dogs. But, this is something we will have to get used to in the coming years. There is always going to be cancelations when you depend on the perfect winter weather. What we are trying to do as a board is make the event sustainable and non-reliant on the weather. And I think, with our increase in programming, we are moving in that direction.

There it is: “This is something we will have to get used to in the coming years…”

Climate change deniers aside (and there are fewer and fewer of them as science is irrefutable on this point), we’re in for some wholesale changes in the way our winters come to us.

Who among us can’t recall butt-deep snow from November to March in most of these parts in winters of 30 or so years past?

Like it or not, we’re on a precipice of the change in our weather and things we took for granted for a good `ol Canadian winter may indeed be on the wane.

But, until then, let’s pray for snow for the skiers and mushers and a good coat of ice for the ice fishers and snowmobiling crowds.

After all, Old Man Winter is also a boost to many a pocketbook in this region and a mushy winter is no boon to any of those people.

sure everyone gets in and out safely.

The Quinte Rowing Club is also allowing participants to use their facilities on the day of the event, so there’s access to washrooms.

Participants can seek pledges to sponsor their dips, both in person and through the online donation platform, YouCaring.com.

For the event, the team decided to implement a tiered fundraising approach. This gives the sponsors control of how far into the icy cold water the participants must go.

Those whose total donation amount is $25 will only have to dip in to their knees. At $50 participants must go in up to their waist. At $75 they have to submerge themselves up to their shoulders. For $100 or more the participants must take the ultimate icy dip and dunk under the water completely.

By Monday, Feb. 8, 18 people – including many Loyalist students – had already signed up to dip and together these participants had already raised more than $500 in pledges.

Local businesses are also donating prizes to be given out for achievements including Top Fundraiser, Social Media Hotshot and Farthest Distance Travelled. All participant profiles,

as well as event updates can be found on the Freezin’ for a Reason Belleville Facebook event page or on Twitter @F4AR. Best said that the group chose to support the YMCA Strong Kids campaign because they feel the YMCA is an organization that gives back to the community.

YMCA Strong Kids is an annual fundraising campaign focused on raising resources to support YMCA programs that give kids the opportunities they need to reach their full potential.

Jessica Klein, another member of the Freezin’ for a Reason team and a dip participant, described the importance of the Strong Kids campaign: “Being active was an integral part of my childhood,” she said. “I cannot imagine growing up without the opportunity to engage in social and athletic activities. The skills and confidence gained through programs at the Y will stay with these kids all their lives.”

Belleville – A polar-bear-plunge-like event is coming back to Belleville for the first time in several years.

A team of public relations students from Loyalist College have partnered with the YMCA to host Freezin’ for a Reason on Saturday, March 5. The event allows courageous participants to plunge into the frigid waters of the Bay of Quinte to raise funds for the Strong Kids campaign.

The event begins at 11 a.m. at the Herchimer Avenue boat launch in east-end Belleville.

Angela Best, one of the students involved in the project, said the event is part of class assignment for the group, based on promoting a fundraiser.

The group wanted to come up with something unusual. They learned that while nearby communities, such as Campbellford, have an annual polar bear plunge fundraising event, no such event has taken place in Belleville in recent years.

They approached the YMCA about holding a plunge to raise funds and the idea was embraced. Best said lifeguards and people who can provide first aid will be on hand to make

He is for the establishment and against every- This is the first time I’ve heard about Sir John one else. Petrick is hiding behind his journalistic A. building a “splendid railroad.” History says views of Aboriginals. He should come clean and that the Chinese built this “splendid railroad.” say he loves Sir John A. MacDonald.

For every mile of track laid, three Chinese perished. Now that is nothing splendid.

AND Christopher Columbus did not “discover” any land. That’s a myth of the worse kind.

Regardless of how you cut it, Sir John A. is a bad cat. The blood on his hands goes a long ways into the Lake of Fire.

He is responsible for instituting the Chinese Head Tax that has its trickle down effect allowing PM Mackenzie King to sign into law a piece of racist legislation known as, the “Chinese Exclusion Act.” Before we get into a debate into Sir John A.’s legacy, I gave up things of that nature a long time ago. I learned to forgive when I became a Peace Keeper with the Canadian Forces. We are known as the First Generation Peacekeepers, the “Blue Helmets” who put ourselves in harm’s way so that every Canadian can enjoy a peaceful life style. I am a 25-year veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces.

Never forget the peace that every Canadian enjoys is made possible by veterans and not politicians.

Public transit pilot program gets underway in Brighton

By John Campbell Brighton – With the launch of a six-month pilot program in Brighton this week, the question now becomes: Will a trial public transit system turn into a permanent fixture or turn out to be transitory?

Ridership, public feedback and a decision of council will determine its fate but supporters of the weekday service between Brighton and Trenton are optimistic it will prove its worth.

“I see it being extremely successful,” said Mayor Mark Walas as he waited with others at Prince Edward Square for the Quinte Access bus to begin its initial run through town Monday afternoon before heading off to Trenton.

“There are a number of folks who have identified the fact that they are either unable to drive or ... wish not to have to drive,” he said. “[This] allows them the flexibility of not only to get around our community but to get into Trenton. [It’s] just a wonderful opportunity for everyone.”

Nesbitt Street resident Phyllis Harper was the first person picked by the bus, at the Sandpiper Community Centre.

She has been “waiting a long time” for Brighton to have its own public transit system.

“I think it’s terrific,” she said. “I don’t

drive, I don’t have a car ... and I haven’t been able to get down to Walmart on my own, so this is perfect.”

Walas said he has been told by some residents “they were considering moving from the community because there was no transportation system ... As time has gone on, the need has presented itself and kudos to Gail Ellis who really brought it all forward [and] Quinte Access for being able to offer this ...

It’s worked out very, very well.”

Ellis, a member of the Brighton Accessibility Advisory Committee, initiated efforts to introduce public transit in Brighton with the support of the committee. She saw how valuable the service could be to Brighton residents through her work as a wellness program coordinator for Community Care in making use of the bus to provide transportation to aquafit classes in Trenton.

“It’s just fantastic,” she said of Monday’s launch. “I’m really happy for people who don’t have any vehicles,” who can now get around town or go to Trenton, to have blood work done, do their banking, keep medical appointments, visit loved ones in hospital, or go shopping.

Stops include Sobey’s and No Frills in Brighton and Walmart in Trenton.

Ellis said a return trip to Trenton is $46 by cab which “is a lot of money for somebody who doesn’t have a lot of extra cash.”

Quinte Access driver Debbie Shaw was behind the wheel for the launch of a six-month pilot program to determine if Brighton can support a public transit system that includes once-a-day trips to Trenton Monday to Friday. Schedules can be found online at the Brighton and Quinte Access websites or obtained at the municipal office and elsewhere. Photo by John Campbell

“It’s going to be a marvellous service,” said pointing out how inexpensive it is, just $5 Councillor Mary Tadman, the municipality’s Continued on page 15 representative on the Quinte Access board,

Brighton looks at marijuana zoning

By Joyce Cassin Brighton - Brighton’s planning consultant, Darryl Tighe, has suggested council take a look at the steps involved should a medical marijuana facility wish to locate here.

Mayor Mark Walas said he hasn’t heard of anyone wishing to open a facility in Brighton but thinks the municipality should be ready just in case.

“I believe it’s our planner being proactive, to say, if in fact we were to get a request, it would leave the municipality in a sort of an awkward position right now, so he (Tighe) wanted some clarification...” Walas said. “And I think it’s reasonable because that way, then the council of the day, whenever that will be, if a request does come forward, then they’ll have the appropriate information in front of them to either permit this use to go ahead or not.”

Several other area municipalities have already taken steps to make zoning plans for possible new marijuana enterprises in their communities.

Kuipers wins at OMB hearing Len Kuipers, a Brighton developer who was turned down by council last year for a proposal to build a semi-detached home at 62 Chapel St., won at the Ontario Municipal Board hearing held in January.

According to the staff report, he OMB approved both the consent application and rezoning to allow a similar structure as was constructed around the corner on Division Street.

The estimated cost to taxpayers is $15,000.

Subdivision agreement not upheld Fifteen years after signing a subdivision agreement for Presqu’ile Landing, Paul Gauthier of Noel Property Management won’t have to fulfill his side of the deal.

Council voted in favour of the Edgewater Street residents who didn’t want the agreed-upon sidewalk installed, although Gauthier isn’t getting off scot-free.

Council passed a motion to change the agreement, making the developer pay 2016 prices for the same linear footage of sidewalk.

It will just be used to construct sidewalks in other parts of the municipality instead.

Coun. Steve Baker said he didn’t want to send a message to developers that if they procrastinate long enough, council will let them off on their agreement.

He and Coun. John Martinello opposed the motion, which carried 5-2.

Get on the bus Residents in Brighton can now travel to and from Trenton downtown for a $5 fee, which includes a transfer for the Trenton transit system.

There are seven Brighton pick up and drop off locations - Prince Edward Square, Presqu’ile Bay Outfitters, Brighton By the Bay, BHSC, Sobeys, King Edward Park and No Frills at various set times.

Other locations may be available upon request.

Mega-selling local rockers Three Days Grace have been nominated for Group of the Year Juno Award. Formed in Norwood the hard-working band is in the middle of a huge Russian tour.

Three Days Grace in Juno Award hunt

By Bill Freeman

Norwood – Mega-selling local rockers Three Days Grace are in the Juno Award hunt once again.

One of the biggest-selling Canadian bands this past decade with roots firmly in Norwood, Three Days is nominated for Group of the Year and will face off against Metric Hedley, Marianas Trench and Walk Off the Earth on April 3 in Calgary.

It’s the band’s fifth Juno nomination. They also earned a Best New Artist nomination in 2004.

Their top-selling 2012 album Transit of Venus was nominated for an Album of the Year Juno and reached number one on the Billboard hard rock chart. Their 2006 single Animal I Have Become was the most played rock song in Canada.

The band was founded in Norwood in 1997 by bass guitarist Brad Walst, drummer Neil Sanderson of Peterborough and singer-guitarist Adam Gontier,

who left the band suddenly in early 2013, and includes lead guitarist Barry Stock and Brad’s brother Matt who replaced Gontier as lead vocalist and is front and centre on their hit album “Human” which has produced number one singles Painkiller and I Am Machine. Those singles are the band’s 12th and 13th number one Active Rock chart-toppers giving them the record for the most number one hits on Active Rock radio.

The hard-working band has sold six million albums in the United States alone and is currently in the middle of a massive Russian tour which also touched down in Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia, Poland, Czech Republic and Germany following an extensive North American leg.

In 2012, Three Days Grace headlined Belleville’s Big Music Fest.

Drake and Justin Bieber lead this year’s Juno nominations with five followed by Shawn Mendes and Alessia Cara with four each.

424 Sqn. SAR Techs remember their own Search and rescue technicians from 424 Squadron at 8 Wing/CFB Trenton spent an emotional morning on Feb. 5 remembering two of their fallen comrades.

Nine SAR Techs performed a special memorial jump onto Drop Zone Gilbert in front of 9 Hangar in memory of Sgt. Mark Salesse, who died Feb. 5, 2015, while conducting mountain rescue training in Banff National Park. Salesse had been descending a climbing route known as Polar Circus when he was swept away by an avalanche. At the time, he was posted to 435 Sqn in Winnipeg.

424 Squadron SAR Techs annually hold a memorial jump in honour of Sgt. Janick Gilbert, who died during a rescue attempt near Igloolik, Nunavut on Oct. 27, 2011. The DZ near 9 Hangar has been named in his honour.

Warrant Officer Aaron Bygrove, one of the SAR Tech jumpers on this cold but clear morning, gave some background on the jump out on the DZ and stressed the importance of training for SAR Techs.

“It took an avalanche to get him (Salesse) off that mountain and we pay tribute to him today,” he said while Sgt. Jody Hynes stood beside him holding an Astra stone to be dedicated later in the year in honour of Sgt. Salesse.

Sgt. Hynes, a friend of Sgt. Salesse who went through training with him, said it was an emotional day for him.

“Remember that we always have to get past the small stuff and concentrate on the important things happening in life and on our jobs,” he said, adding that SAR Techs should strive to do their best all the time under the circumstances thrown at them.

Following the brief ceremony at DZ Gilbert, the Astra stone was

presented to Chris Colton, executive director of the National Air Force Museum of Canada for dedication in their Astra Stone ceremony later in the year.

Liz Quinn, of Moncton, N.B., Sgt. Salesse’s mother, was taking a helicopter flight over the Polar Circus ice-climbing route in Banff National Park later that day with family and friends to mark the anniversary of her son’s death.

Minister of National Defence Harjit Sajjan also sent out the following tweet to mark the anniversary of Sgt. Salesse’s death: Harjit Sajjan @HarjitSajjan “Thinking of my friend Mark Salesse today, and the courageous work done by @ CanadianForces SAR Techs.” rcafarc.forces.gc.ca/en/article-tem…

Walas even put forward the notion that the service could be expanded to restore bus service between Presqu’ile Provincial Park and downtown Brighton during the summer months, which was shut down last year.

“If this turns out to be successful, and we can keep this operating, then I would entertain bringing something back to council,” he said, to “look at that in its budget deliberations for next year, to offer some financial support” for its return.

“I was writing it off to other things, [such as aging], it wasn’t serious back pain,” he said.

“But it was when I noticed that it was distinctively worse after eating that I got concerned.”

Being told it was pancreatic cancer didn’t surprise him as a result of the research he had done, but he was “disappointed.”

According to Pancreatic Cancer Canada, the disease is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in Canada and “has the highest mortality rate of all the major cancers” – 92 per cent of patients die within five years of their diagnosis, 75 per cent within the first year.

“Patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer are encouraged to seek out clinical trials to improve pancreatic cancer treatment.”

Kingston for his third treatment.

“I’ll know more once the chemo treatments are done [in six to eight weeks],” he said.

He goes for a treatment every two weeks.

“It’s a very heavy dose,” Macmillan said.

“The first week afterwards is pretty tough.”

The mayor became emotional when talking about word he had received through his wife Sandy that “practically every church in Trent Hills is once again looking after me ...

It’s great to know there are people out there supporting you.”

Asked if he had thought of resigning as mayor, Macmillan replied: “No, that’s never crossed my mind. The last [cancer], I would say the treatments were worse. I will continue to do my job as I have always done.

I’m not a quitter.”

Macmillan addressed another rumour out there: he and his wife are not leaving the gas bar they’ve operated for more than 23 years because of his health.

“We knew for five years that there was a good chance that our lease would not be renewable, that’s why we bought another business [the bowling lanes across the street],” he said.

“We’re really having a lot of fun.”

The Macmillans will cease operating the gas bar the end of February.

“I understand that it has been sold,” and that “it will continue on,” he said.

Kurt Browning will dazzle in Norwood

By Bill Freeman Norwood – Four-time world and Canadian figure skating champion Kurt Browning will dazzle a full house when he takes the ice at the Norwood and District Skating Club’s “Skating Through Time” carnival March 6.

The crowd is expected to match or surpass the biggest draws for on-ice events at the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre rivalling the Montreal Canadiens’ alumnae game and sold-out Norwood Vipers playoff games.

By any measure it’s a brilliant coup for the 70-member club which has been a home to young figure skaters since 1968.

“It will probably be a real highlight in the history of the club,” says longtime member, coach and executive Bernadette Vanderhorst who extended the invitation to Browning.

Browning is a skating “icon,” both nationally and internationally, says Vanderhorst, and to bring him to Norwood where he’ll meet with skaters and skate with them is thrilling.

“For our club it will bring great exposure and we hope to pack the house.”

The club has developed a bit of a rela-

tionship with Browning over the past few years with members and their families meeting him regularly during his Rock The Ice appearances in Peterborough.

“We have met him at different times wearing our NDSC jackets. He was very kind,” says Vanderhorst. “He knows who the Norwood District Skating Club is.”

During those meetings Vanderhorst asked Browning if he’d be interested in possibly being an instructor at the NDSC’s popular inter-club “On The Leading Edge” clinic. They shared contact information but scheduling has never worked out. They’ve also tried to bring him in for their carnival but that’s always conflicted with the world championships where Browning is a television commentator.

But this year’s show is earlier so Vanderhorst “persevered” and extended the invitation.

“It all came together. The skaters are just thrilled. It just pumps them up way more for their preparation for the show and finessing what they’re preparing for EOSIC and the Winter Fun Skate in Bobcaygeon.”

Even though the club’s skaters weren’t born when Browning was capturing

his four world and Canadian titles, they know him through his brilliant ice show performances, TV commentary and his co-hosting of The Battle of the Blades.

“He’s a personality that all generations know. There’s people who follow Kurt and they’ll be wanting to catch another closer glimpse of him. The word is spreading fast (but) the club’s skating families will get first dibs on the tickets.

That’s what our club is here for, those families.”

Vanderhorst has nothing but “accolades” for the club’s carnival volunteers.

“I’ve complicated the ice show a little bit this year,” she quipped. “They’re ready to dig in and work hard.”

“This is going to bring focus to what our skaters are doing here. It’s a great incentive for the kids to reach taller,” added head coach Leanne Decker.

Browning will also bring along autographed copies of his children’s alphabet book “A is for Axel.”

Tickets go on sale next week and are $20 for seats and $15 for standing room.

Four-time world and Canadian figure skating champion Kurt Browning will be the guest skater at this year’s Norwood and District Skating Club carnival on March 6.

There was a strong turnout, as dozens of first-timers, ranging in age from young girls to seniors, came out and skated on long blades on the Olympic-sized ice surface.

Fraser hat trick leads MMC midgets over Toros

Quinte Blades Speed Skating Club encouraging more females to come out Continued from page 18 Verhage said interest in speed skating always seems to get a boost following an Olympic year, but after that interest tends to waver.

He’s hoping speed skating can become more of a mainstream sport in the area, given that it promotes teamwork and camaraderie between athletes.

He is particularly hoping to encourage more females to come out, noting that several speed skating clubs across the province are noticing that interest in speed skating among the female population is not great right now.

Sunday’s event was to allow newcomers to try the sport and learn it with the help of instructors and experienced skaters in a comfortable setting.

“It’s a very close knit community and it’s fun,” said Verhage, describing the atmosphere around the Quinte Blades.

He said he became interested in speed skating several years ago when watching his future wife Becky compete in a speed skating event. He noticed all the people in the stands were cheering for all the athletes equally and he was intrigued with how all the skaters would high five each other.

That’s the great thing about speed skating, he said.

“The whole concept isn’t about beating your competitor,” he said.

“It’s about how well you can personally do.”

The Quinte Blades club holds three sessions throughout the week at the Yardmen Arnea; Tuesdays at 6 a.m.; Wednesdays at 4:30 p.m. and Sundays at 11 a.m.

Its members can train to compete in provincial series competitions, which a skater has to earn his or her way on to, or the regional series, which is open to all athletes and classes skaters based on ability. The Quinte Blades also have a Special Olympics program.

In fact, the Quinte Blades was born out of a Special Olympics program, Verhage said. In the ’90s a local group of Special Olympians began training for speed skating and eventually the club opened up to generic skaters.

The fact that Special Olympians still train today with other competitive athletes on the Quinte Blades speaks to club’s openness and inclusivity, he said.

“It’s a great little club,” he said. “It’s one big family.”

A year-long membership with the Quinte Blades costs $485, however, to encourage new participants, the club is also promoting a new introductory program that takes place through February and March.

For $80, a participant can get four on-ice training sessions and skates and equipment is provided.

On Saturday Feb. 6 at the Yardmen Arena, the midgets won a decisive 3-1 win over eventual 1st round playoff contender Kingston Frontenacs. The win guaranteed the Devils first place in ETA East division. Anthony Bertucca was in net for the win and faced numerous shots that could have changed momentum. All 3rd period goals by the Devils scored by Brock Bronson, Ryan Fraser, and Shelby Rienstra on nifty passing plays with Dawson Ellis with 2 assists and other other helpers from Tanner Sheppard, Colin Vandenhurk, Billy Finney, and Greg Thomas. The first round of the playoffs will likely commence Wednesday Feb. 10 at 8:30pm at Yardmen versus Kingston.

CrossFit Belleville - Bantam The Red Devils played host to the York Simcoe Express who are currently in second place in the West ETA division on Saturday and won the game in a decisive defensive effort 5-2, to pick up their 12th straight win. The defensive effort allowed very few offensive opportunities and the Devils played well in their own end and as a result didn’t spend much time inside their own blue line. As reported last week the coaching staff

changed up the routine and the boys responded favourably with a better start to the game. The Red Devils opened the scoring and took a 2-0 lead before the end of the first period and added another one in the early stages of the second. Brennan Bush was spectacular in net and kept the game in Quinte’s favour when one of the few lapses in their own end occurred. This is Brennan’s 13th victory in 18 regular season’s games and he surpasses his personal best regular season win total of 12. The goals were scored by Michael Andrews(2), Bailey Matthews(2) and Zach Uens while assists went to Dalton Bancroft(2), Logan White(2), and Nolan Seto(2). Next up for the CrossFit Belleville Bantams were the Peterborough Pete’s, who have been playing better hockey in the latter part of the season and have exceeded their win total over last year by 5 games. Ethan Taylor was in net for the Red Devils and he too has bettered his regular season win total from last year by 3 games as he collected his 12th win in 18 regular season games. The Red Devils would close out the season with a decisive 8-3 victory. The goals were scored by Jake Campbell(4), Michael Andrews(3) and Dalton

Bancroft while assists went to Emmet Pierce(4), Daniel Panetta(3), Michael Andrews, Logan White, Dalton Bancroft, Keegan Hunt, Cameron Supryka and Conner Kennedy(2).

The next game for the CrossFit Belleville Bantams is not yet known but given their second place finish in the ETA East means they will be starting at home. The first round of playoffs can begin on Feb 8th and must conclude by the 21st. Stay tuned for more details and check the team’s website for details.

Free Flow Petroleum - Minor Bantam On February 6, the Free Flow Petroleum Minor Bantams notched a 6-2 victory over the Ajax-Pickering Raiders. Six Red Devils found the back of the net, as Ben Roger, Adam Thistlethwaite, Marshall McFarland, Jacob Vreugdenhil, Karsten Leonard and Connor McGregor all scored. Assisting were Isaac Langdon (3), Vreugdenhil, Leonard, McGuire, Wheeler and Roger.

On February 7, the team had to accept a 1-0 loss at the hands of the Clarington Toros - and the opponent’s marker coming with 5 minutes to go in the third.

Marmora SnoFest 2016 – Wasn’t that a party?

A big smile was the typical reaction of the children as they tried their first outing with a dog sled at Marmora’s SnoFest. Photo by Margriet Kitchen

By Margriet Kitchen Marmora – A SnoFest weekend without snow didn’t slow things down one bit for the people of Marmora. The business association planned downtown events. Forsyth Street closed down Saturday to host entertainment such as face painting for the children, an antique snowmobile display, a live band and the Little Nippers race.

Nicole and Shane Cox brought eight sled dogs in for the race, and the municipality trucked in snow for a rac-

ing lane on Forsyth Street. Thirty-one children took part, with Avery Coe of Marmora the winner of the 2016 Little Nippers trophy.

Forsyth St. merchants set up stands on the street, giving shoppers the opportunity to enjoy food, free hot chocolate and shopping.

Many people enjoyed the St. Andrew’s United Church dinner put on by the Deloro UCW. The Community Centre was the scene of the artisans and food market along with story telling courtesy of the

library.

Friday night, the Marmora’s Got Talent show kicked off the weekend activities with a large number of very talented singers, dancers and comedians.

Organizers were pleased with the event and are thankful for all the volunteer help from different organizations that went into making it a success. Dog sled races will take place on the weekend of Feb. 27-28. Find out Dog sled sponsor Nicole Cox provided encouragement and a steadying hand as she ran with each more at <www.marmorasnofest.ca>. of the 31 racers as they raced up Forsyth St. during the Little Nippers Dog Sled Race.

Bigger air show part of base plan

Overall, Keiver praised the record of close co-operation between 8 Wing and surrounding municipalities, with a recent agreement signed with Belleville to create a local branch of the Military Family Resource Centre, one of several now in place. He went on to stress the importance of such support. “Our personnel can’t do their jobs properly if their spouses and children aren’t being properly supported at home while they’re away.”

Asked about Syrian refugees, he said the base was originally assigned

The return of a major air show to CFB Trenton this summer still awaits final approval from Ottawa, Col. Colin Keiver announced to a large gathering of local service clubs this past week.

He said he expects that approval before the end of this month and plans are going forward full speed ahead.

While attendance at many air shows has drawn between 60,000 to 80,000, Keiver said he has instructed his staff to shoot for at least 100,000 at the rejuvenated Quinte edition.

Agreeing that traffic and parking will be major problems, Keiver said; “We’ve hired a top notch consultant on this from the United States and he will do a complete study of all park-

a job to shelter and look after a large number, but this has now been set aside for the time being, allowing smoother transition of new refugees into the community.

He also assured, when questioned, that regular summer air cadet camps will continue.

He closed by extending an invitation for the public to make full use of the world class National Air Force Museum and the base’s 18-hole golf club.

The noon luncheon drew a near capacity crowd to the Belleville Banquet Centre, where the Kiwanis Club of Belleville was host. Representatives from two Rotary, two Probus, Lions, Kinettes and other Kiwanis Clubs also attended.

of the Quinte Landlord’s Association.

The association currently has about 50 members, a small number likely owing to the fact that previously the association mostly communicated through word of mouth. To become a member, landlords usually had to know a member.

“I’m looking to change that and be of service to many more landlords, especially new and small scale landlords who are particularly vulnerable to the numerous industry pitfalls and risks,” said Gentile.

He said the association formed about 15 years ago to help the local landlord community with networking and sharing of information that usually takes place at monthly dinner meetings.

A press release issued by the group to announce Gentile’s appointment made no secret of the group’s concerns. It suggested landlords in Ontario face some of the toughest rental regulations in the country and it referred to Ontario’s rental tribunal system – a system tenants can go to solve a dispute with a landlord – as “broken.”

“Newbie landlords, and even experienced ones who let down their guard, can be eaten alive by fraudulent tenants, strict regulations, and the broken rental tribunal system.” Gentile said in the release. “It can mean the difference between solvency and bankruptcy in many cases.”

When asked to elaborate on concerns with regulations and the tribunal system, Gentile said, “Where do I start? If you take a look at our website, the first thing you will see is a telling quote by Justice Ted Matlow, who finally said what many in the industry have long complained about; that the existing regulations in Ontario allow dishonest Continued on page B6

TRAVEL

A Visit to Mexico’s Exquisite Baja Peninsula

By John M. Smith

walked toward town, though, I passed the popular Medano Beach, where there were many swimmers.

There were also several vendors along the beach, but a fence had been erected so that the vendors were not allowed to bother people soaking up the sun by their resorts.

Also, I soon discovered that if you simply said “no thanks” to their offers of cheap goods, then they would not bother you further.

We left our resort and took a guided tour of the area on one of our vacation days, and this proved to be very informative. We discovered that Los Cabos is subdivided into two distinct sections, for the tranquil, colonial village of San Jose del Cabo retains the look and feel of an authentic Mexican town, with its central main square, mission church, and cobblestone streets. However, the more touristy destination of Cabo San Lucas, located at the other end of the 33 km. “Tourist Corridor”, with its luxury mall, souvenir shops, and expensive boutiques, is home to so many celebrities that it’s often referred to as “Little L.A.” (property owners include George Clooney, Cindy Crawford, Sylvester Stallone, Brad Pitt, and Bill Gates).

This is “the party place”, so there are lots of nightclubs accompanying the yacht-filled harbour. One particularly popular spot is the Cabo Wabo Cantina, which was opened back in 1990 by Van Halen’s Sammy Haggar. At that time, Cabo San Lucas was not much more than a placid fishing village, but it has since emerged into a very popular tourist destination, and the “Tourist Corridor” is now home to many lavish resorts, spas, and golf courses (designed The Arch (El Arco) is the area’s most distincby such golfers Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman, and Tiger tive landmark.

Los Cabos, located at the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja loscabos.travel

Every Christmas, I plan a winter vacation for my wife and myself, and this year’s destination was Mexico’s Los Cabos. Friends of ours, Bob and Marlene LaFrance, had gone there just prior to Christmas and had raved about it, so we decided to check it out, too. After all, we enjoy visiting new places, and it was certainly going to be warmer there than here, so we booked the trip and went for a week of relaxation amid the sand and surf at our selected all-inclusive resort, the Riu Palace.

This resort turned out to be a great choice, for it was beautiful, with stunning landscaping, immaculately kept grounds, large pools, and wonderful restaurants. The fridge in our oceanfront suite was restocked daily, and the room was cleaned twice every day. We’d often spend the afternoon by a pool or on the beach, then have a shower and a change of clothes before dinner. When we’d return to our suite after dining, we’d find that the room had again been tidied and the used towels had all been replaced. There was often a towel animal to greet us on our bed. What a nice touch!

My wife’s favourite daily ‘activity’ was to simply lounge by a pool, relax, enjoy the sunshine, and catch up on some reading. I could do this for some of the time, but then I’d get anxious to go exploring. Therefore, we soon got into the routine, each morning, to have breakfast together and then find the best poolside spot to plant ourselves. Then I’d soon depart to go for a long walk along the beach, before the heat of the day would make this more of a chore. I discovered that this was a particularly nice place for a leisurely stroll, for there was a wide, sandy beach amid a very picturesque setting. I’d be looking out at a unique rock formation at Land’s End, a place that I would later get an ‘up close and personal’ view of via a boat cruise. I’d also be gazing out at the cruise ships that were docked in this area for the day. I walked all the way to town and back on one occasion, and I walked to the outcropping of rocks in the other direction on another day (where I watched some fishermen casting out their lines directly from shore – and got some nice photos of large sand crabs that had joined me on the beach walk).

There was also a lot of activity along the shoreline, including kayaks, paddleboards, wave runners (sea-doos), glass bottom boats, and parasailers.

Horseback riding in the sand was also available and popular, as was simply walking or jogging along the shoreline. However, swimming was not recommended here, for there was a very strong, dangerous undertow. As I I walked to the town of Cabo San Lucas via the beach.

detail. If a landlord makes one minor error on a form, the case can be thrown out, he said. Meanwhile, a tenant the landlord has issues with can remain in the unit. Also, decisions made by the board often take months.

So an investigation into a tenant accused of not paying rent can take a toll on a landlord, who must wait for that decision even if they’re doing without rent payments they need to pay their own bills. These, among other issues, speak to the need for landlords to share information so they know what challenges they may face.

Kismet. Karma. Fate. Take your pick, Gentle Reader.

A few days ago I was thinking about a topic for this week’s column and of the several I had in mind, none really jumped up and down saying, “Pick me, and pick me!” I was ambivalent.

That’s not to say one was better than an other: each will receive its own column in due time.

On Friday afternoon, I was re-arranging an air plant display, “potting up” a gruesomely “tentacled” specimen, when the tillandsia tickled my muse and inserted themselves into the running. That Saturday morning, the Globe and Mail carried an excellent Marjorie Harris article on the very same group of plants. Even more, on the afternoon of that same Saturday a tour through the county had us visiting Lockyer’s Country Gardens and, wouldn’t you know it, cleverly arranged on a dried up stump was a Tim Burton landscape of... tillandsia. So, tillandsia it is.

Most of us are not sure what a tillandsia is but we are familiar with air plants, and since they’re one and

the same, most of us now know. They’re the usually wispy plants, more wisp than anything, often with a magnet glued to their base, clinging to refrigerator doors and range hoods. Tillandsia are epiphytes, meaning they can derive all their nourishment from “stuff” floating about in the air, hence “air plants.” Some lichen, some orchids; in fact, many genera contain epiphytes. Perhaps the best known tillandsia is Spanish Moss, aka Tillandsia usneoides.

These are strange looking chappies, hence the reference to film producer Tim Burton- Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride and Beetlejuice. One of the scarier looking species is T. bulbosa, sort of a cross between a squid and a sentinel (the destructive machines in The Matrix) followed closely by T.psuedobaileyi which is almost a slimy-smooth twin. That’s not to say these are plants in which nightmares propagate although T. caputmedusae makes a compelling argument otherwise. If I were to attempt a literal translation I would come up “air plant that

Dan Clost looks like medusa’s head.” So no matter how much lipstick this lassie layers on, the snakes are still going to slither through your nocturnal thoughts.

Some are structurally beautiful while others sport stunningly hued leaves while others put out neon coloured flowers. The purple hued T. stricta looks like a frozen miniature black Mondo grass that strayed up to Zone 4. T. fushi is like an unprepossessing hedgehog, albeit a green one, until it puts forth a long stem with phosphorescent oranges, pinks and blue bracts and petals. Perhaps the most colourful- in terms of flower is T. cyanea with a broadly oval flower head approximately 5 inches long and up to inches wide.

I sort of wish I had come up with this term first but Marjorie Harris, in her article, credits Tom Hobbs of SouthContinued on page B7

Ken Tizzard to showcase at the East Coast Music Week

Campellford – Local musician Ken Tizzard has found his groove. “I am honoured to be chosen to showcase at East Coast Music Week. Great company ... ,” are the words he posted on his Facebook page announcing he has been invited to perform in Sydney, Nova Scotia from April 13–16.

His music has morphed from rock and roll to a more “folksy” sound as demonstrated when he produced his latest solo CD No Dark No Light, launched last March.

“Folksy is not really new to me.

When I was growing up I listened to a lot of it, Bob Dylan for example. I was always influenced by folk music,” he commented. During his early

Up In the Air Continued from page B6 land Nursery in Vancouver: “dumb plants.” He calls them such because they don’t die, they just sit there.

How do you care for these chappies?

Don’t let them get cold. If you’re house is exceptionally dry, e.g. your cat looks like a balloon fish every time it walks across the carpet, you might mist your tillandsia once a week, sparingly.

Here’s a question a perspicacious GR might have been hanging on to whilst reading this column; in the second paragraph I mentioned I was potting one up.

Why would you do that? We had some tall rectangular clear glass vases which I hid filled with small, plain gravel. I placed the base of a T. bulbosa on the top of the gravel, held it centred with my fingers and then shook the vase. The plant gently eased down into the stones, thus planting itself.

Tillandsia also lends themselves to dry terrariums, stone and gnarly wood decorations, and fairy landscapes, especially if you’re slipping in a “low rent “district for Goth elves.

From tillandsia it’s only a short step to other self-sufficient plants such as cacti, echeveria, aloes and the like. Just think you can fill your entire house with low care plants. In fact they take less care than plastic plants because you have to dust the latter whereas, with the former, dust is their food.

End notes- I visited with Campbellford and District Horticultural Society this past week. Glenn Bennett was judging several tables of entries with a very firm hand displaying the rare quality of providing critique without criticism- as it is semantically interpreted. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there.

And the week previous, the folks at the Brighton Horticultural Society were looking at Gardening 101 as many were downsizing to smaller gardens. This is another hort club who has its act together- a real pleasure. I confess I tried to push a few buttons with a mini-rant about native plants and native soils but this group was so genteel.

career playing bass he “hooked up with a rock and roll band and it turned into 25 years of playing rock and roll which was amazing.”

Then about 10 years ago he made a conscious effort to focus “on my own stuff and I knew that was going to be folk country, Americana, whatever you want to call it.”

That change in focus brought him to where he is today, accepting an invitation to attend and be part of the East Coast festival. The event is also a conference, export buyers program and a celebration, where awards will be presented in a multitude of categories from Aboriginal Artist of the Year to Album of the Year, Event of the Year to Manager of the Year and more.

Described as a “born storyteller,” Tizzard travelled the country with his band The Watchmen, yet remains grounded with his family in Campbellford. He continues to entertain locally on Wednesday evenings from 9 to 11 p.m. at the Church Key Pub. He views his change in direction to music that is more “folksy” as having a grassroots focus, “Unlike the rock and roll world which is very corporate ... it took a few records to finally find my groove.”

His invitation to attend the east coast festival will see him on one of several stage venues, the Songwriters’ Circle.

“It’s a big thing getting in front of talent buyers,” he noted. “This is a different world from rock and roll and these showcases are hard to get into.”

His trip to the east coast will not be a first as Tizzard was born in Newfoundland. The release of his CD No Dark No Light last year reflected his desire to return to those roots.

He continues to travel to Newfoundland to perform.

No Dark No Light is described as a CD where “its acoustic country meets folk ambience and is in sharp contrast to his previous album, 2012’s The Goodness of Bad Intent.

Recorded with his trio Bad Intent, that album was built around the evocative sounds of the pedal steel and it fea-

He is looking forward to his five days in Sydney and said, “It’s promotion but promotion is one thing ... when you step on stage you don’t think like that. When you step on stage I entertain and that’s what I love to do.”

Bay of Quinte MP Neil Ellis appointed to Veterans Affairs committee

By Stephen Petrick

have three Conservatives and one member of the NDP. Back in August, Ellis was standing by Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau when the soon-to-be prime minister unveiled a major campaign promise during a stop in Belleville. The party promised to re-open seven Veterans Affairs offices closed by the previous Conservative government and invest about $300 million per year for veterans services.

That included nearly $100 million more per year for veteran family support services, and $80 million per year for a new Veterans Education Benefit, among other pledges.

Ellis said he’s excited to begin working on the committee, but the first task at hand will be for the com-

mittee to elect a chair when it meets for the first time on Feb. 16.

After that, he expects things will move swiftly.

“We have an ambitious platform,” Ellis said. “A lot of this was to be moved through as soon as possible.”

Ellis said he’s particularly happy to be on the committee, given that the new Bay of Quinte riding covers CFB Trenton. As a result, there’s a large number of veterans living in the area.

New Bay of Quinte Member of Parliament Neil Ellis has been appointed to the federal government’s veterans affairs committee.

It’s a role he’s “very happy” to take on, given the riding’s strong military ties and his party’s recent promise to offer more support to those who’ve served.

“This will be a busy committee,” Ellis said in a phone interview from his Parliament Hill office on Feb. 2. “It (supporting veterans) was a major plank in our platform.”

The committee is expected to meet twice a week and examine all matters related to Veterans Affairs Canada.

Ellis said, to the government’s knowledge, there are about 700,000 military veterans living in the country, of which about 75,000 are veterans of the Second World War or Korean War. He also noted he knows how important it is to pay tribute to veterans, as his father served in the Second World War. “Growing up in a household with a veteran I understand the importance of the issues on this file,” he said.

Correction

A report from Hastings County Council concerning Stirling-Rawdon and its police costs included some errors. Mayor Rodney Cooney has said that the $6 million loss reported in the story is incorrect. The figure he actually gave was $1.6 miliion He also explained that the loss was not really related to police, but rath-

er provincial funding policies that keep cutting his municipality out, a form of downloading. He said his council has more meetings planned with provincial officials to review figures and policies, but remains concerned that small rural municipalities will continue to suffer from lack of understanding by Torontobased bureaucrats.

The Corporation of the Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen by the Council thereof hereby enacts as follows: WHEREAS Section 38(1) of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990 c. P.13, as amended, permits the Council of a municipality to pass an interim control by-law where the Council has directed that a review or study be undertaken in respect of land use planning policies and regulations within the municipality or in any defined area or areas of thereof; AND WHEREAS the Council of the Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen passed a resolution directing that the necessary research and consultation be undertaken with respect to developing land use planning policies and regulations affecting all lands located in the Township of HavelockBelmont-Methuen; AND WHEREAS the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen deems it appropriate to now enact such an interim control by-law, in order to ensure that any medical marihuana production/processing/distribution facilities are appropriately situated and regulated within the Township; 1. In this By-law: “Medical Marihuana Grow Operations” shall mean a facility licensed by Health Canada for the growing, processing, storage and /or distribution of Medical Marihuana, having completed the prescribed Notification process under Federal Legislation for such facilities.

2. No Medical Marihuana Grow Operations and associated buildings and structures shall be permitted on any lands within the Municipality save and except any Medical Marihuana Grow Operations legally in existence on the date of the passing of this By-law.

3. If any provision or requirement of this By-law or the application thereof to any person shall to any extent be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this by-law or the application of such provision or requirement to all persons other than those to which it is held to be invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and each provision and requirement of this By-law shall be separately valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

4. Every person who uses any land, building or structure in any manner contrary to the requirements of this By-law, or who causes or permits such use, or violates any provisions of this By-law or causes or permits a violation, shall be guilty of an offense and upon conviction shall be liable to a fine as provided in the Planning Act, RSO, 1990, c. P 13 as amended from time to time. The foregoing provisions shall be in addition to any other remedy or penalty provided by by-law.
