Hugh O’Neil honoured at Queen’s Park
By Stephen Petrick
Queen’s Park - The late Hugh O’Neil was honoured in the Ontario Legislature Wednesday morning in a touching ceremony that crossed all party lines. Liberal MPP Lou Rinaldi, Conservative Todd Smith and a New Democrat member each delivered emotional speeches that paid tribute to the long-time Member of Provincial Parliament who was known as “Mr. Quinte.” The tribute was held in the Legislative Chamber with a bus load of Quinte West residents watching from the fourth floor gallery, including several members of the O’Neil family: Mr. O’Neil’s wife Donna, son David and daughter Catherine. Mr. O’Neil represented the riding of Quinte as a Liberal from 1975 until 1995 and held cabinet positions including being appointed by Premier David Peterson to Minister of Industry, Trade and Technology on June 26, 1985. In 1987, Mr. O’Neil was named Minister of Tourism and Recreation. Following a cabinet shuffle, he was named as Minister of Mines on August 2, 1989. He also became Minister of Culture and Communications on June 5, 1990. In addition, Mr. O’Neil served as Peterson’s regional minister for eastern Ontario.

He died in October, peacefully and unexpectedly at home at 79 while quietly watching television with wife Donna. “It’s emotional,” said Donna as she greeted the Quinte West contingent following the ceremony.
“We’re very grateful for the affection and support shown by friends.” She later addressed the well-wishers, which included colleagues of several groups to which Mr. O’Neil contributed. “His colleagues weren’t just col-

He praised Mr. O’Neil for being a politician who always worked for the best interest of Quinte, for Ontarians and worked with members of all parties. “The best people rise above party politics,� he said of Mr. O’Neil. Whenever they shared a podium, the two had fun with the fact that Smith was a Conservative and Mr. O’Neil was a Liberal. Smith recalled speaking at an event when he was new to politics. “Hugh used his heckling skills that he must have learned sitting next to Jim Bradley. He would say ‘Pretty good, MPP Smith. Pretty good for a Tory.’� But, Smith said he holds a deep respect for Mr. O’Neil’s record in politics. He said sitting next to Mr. O’Neil was like “sitting down the bench from Gordie Howe. “He was a man and, at times, a monument.� Jennifer French, MPP from Oshawa, spoke for New Democrats in the Legislature. She said Mr. O’Neil showed serving one’s constituents above and
beyond the interests of the party are the hallmark of a good MPP. French said Mr. O’Neil served the province and the “beautiful areaâ€? of Quinte as a calling. Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi spoke on behalf of the governing Liberals. He recalled the shock of hearing of Mr. O’Neil’s death the morning after he attended a rally to support Trenton Memorial Hospital. “I was shocked. I thought it was a prank,â€? he said. Rinaldi had spoken by phone to his friend only hours before he died. He went on to praise Mr. O’Neil for his work with numerous groups, including the Quinte Arts Council and his work to establish the Afghanistan Repatriation Memorial in Quinte West. “Life is short. We need to embrace those special people in life. Hugh was a special person. He was my friend.â€? Rinaldi then proposed a toast using O’Neil’s favourite drink -- a Pepsi – while wiping tears from his eyes.Â

Trenton - Good news hockey fans, Trenton’s 2017 Dudley Hewitt Cup committee has announced the ticket packages are now on sale and the championship logo has been created. “Anything we do in Quinte West will be over the top and this will be the best Dudley ever,” said John McDonald, director of hockey operations at the unveiling ceremony at Trent Port Marina on Wed. Feb. 17. Rob McDonald and Sarah Ditmars, co-ordinators of the Dudley committee, said the logo they have created is much simpler than teams have done in the past, without any extra symbols to represent the community. Ditmars said they are hoping the logo will be the start of a legacy they would like to begin for the regional tournament in 2017. “By stripping it down to almost the bare minimum it kind of looked better than it did with all the extras,” Ditmars said. “We hope this logo continues on with the tournament and is reused by other teams.” Tickets for the tournament are already in high demand. “We’ve already had requests for over 150 ticket packages, we haven’t even told anybody how much it cost yet,” Rob McDonald said. “That’s how wonderful this community is and how involved and engaged it is.” After comparing prices with other tournaments and championships, they decided the ticket packages for all eight games of the Dudley Hewitt Cup will cost $125. All of the seats and sections in the Duncan Memorial Arena have now been numbered, including standing areas. Rob McDonald said this will help prevent empty spaces and people can reserve their favourite spots. The Dudley committee has also launched a new website for the event, www.dudleyhewittcuptrenton.com, and their new twitter handle for the event is @DHTrenton2017. This is where people can find ticket information and all of the championship related

MP Neil Ellis elected chair of Veterans Affairs committee By Stephen Petrick
Belleville – Neil Ellis campaigned vigorously on behalf of veterans in the riding and now the Liberal Member of Parliament for the Bay of Quinte riding has been tabbed to head up the parliamentary committee on their behalf. Ellis has been appointed as chair of the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs, it was announced last Tuesday morning in Ottawa. Ellis said the federal government has a moral and fiscal obligation to some 200,000 of Canada’s 700,000 veterans and his aim is to advocate on their behalf before Parliament. Ellis has been working closely with veterans groups in the riding, as well as meeting with volunteers with the Our TMH group which is lobbying hard for a veterans care facility at Trenton Memorial Hospital. In an interview from his Parliament Hill office on Thursday, Feb. 18, minutes after the first full meeting of the committee, Ellis expressed excitement about the opportunity to work on many issues affecting veterans. The committee is currently laying out a work plan that will carry the group through the month of June. Among the first priorities will be reopening nine Veterans Affairs Services offices across the county that were
closed by the previous government. A more long-term plan includes opening two “centres of excellence” for veterans; essentially health facilities that will help patients dealing with mental health issues such as PostTraumatic Stress Disorder. This plan requires a partnership with the provinces, Ellis said. Discussions have already taken place on whether Trenton Memorial Hospital could be a site for such a centre. “Our riding is a ready and willing host,” he said. In the first few months, the committee will also focus largely on “outreach” Ellis said, as all but one person on the 10-member committee is new. Those committee members want to get to know people from various veterans groups across the county and build trust. It’s a sensitive issue, given that the veterans portfolio turned out to be a public relations disaster for the Stephen Harper government, which took criticism for closing the Veterans Affairs offices and for the way former Veterans Minister Julian Fantino treated veterans and family members of veterans seeking his time. Ellis said members of a couple veterans advocacy groups attended Thursday’s meeting; a positive sign to him that veterans are willing to
work with the new government. “It’s about building trust and opening that relationship up,” Ellis said. “A lot of veterans feel there has to be open communication.” Another immediate goal of the committee will be to guide the government through the budget process, coming up this spring. While the committee itself can’t increase the budget, it can make recommendations to the government and offers fiscal review. There will be a lot of work to do in this area, as during the fall election campaign, the Liberals promised to 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. The committee work is expected to be time consuming for Ellis, as it’s scheduled to meet twice a week. He said members also agreed to meet through the summer – something that not every government committee does – so the group can meet its aggressive work load. Ellis said he was thrilled to be elected as the chair when the committee held a brief first meeting, for procedural purposes, the previous Tuesday. “It’s great that the committee had confidence in me as a chair,” he said.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
QW film festival a waste
Dear Editor
Is there anyone at all in Quinte West who thinks that the proposal for a film festival is a waste of taxpayers money? The proposal suggests that QW give $100,000 to two gentlemen from Toronto as seed money so that they can go out and raise funds of 1.6 million to be used to bring a Film Festival to Trenton, in the year 2017. This festival would run a couple of weekends in July and the films would be the ones NOT chosen by TIFF and would be shown in venues in other communities such as Campbellford, Napanee, Picton, Belleville. The proposal hopes to draw audiences from such far away places as Peterborough and Kingston. There was no budget submitted to the public about how they would spend this 1.6 million dollars. The festival would also need a Non Profit Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison said he is looking forward to the proposal for building a hospice in Quinte West to come before Charity number in order to apply for grants council and hopes the city can have a hospice built within this term of council. Photo by Erin Stewart
and loans and the committee that looks after the Trenton Town Hall approached the current tenants, the Trent Port Historical Society with the idea of using the Trenton Town Hall as an office space where they would “box up some artifacts, take out the cafe to put a coffee bar in and a display of Mary Pickford”. This committee also suggested that if the Festival came under the umbrella of the TPHS then they could use their Charity status for the grants and loans. This is the same Council who is willing to spend $650,000 on a new soccer pitch and hard ball field and not spend anything on an Arts and Cultural Centre. This same Council/committee has even got some of the facts wrong about Film in Trenton as pointed out by Peggy Dymond Leavey, author of The Film Years. What is wrong with this picture? Laura J. Rickards Trenton
Quinte West looking to build hospice By Erin Stewart Trenton – A Quinte West physician has sparked a proposal to build a hospice in the city after offering to donate a home for the facility. The physician, who wishes to remain anonymous, offered the city a house or value of the house to support a hospice for terminally ill patients and their families with end of life care, but Mayor Jim Harrison said the space isn’t large enough. The home may not be large enough but Quinte West is now taking the next step and is looking into using city property to build a hospice. “We’re looking at where the Leopold Centre is located in Quinte West,” Harrison said. “That building has to be removed anyways, so we’re looking at that particular area and hoping we’ve got enough space there to build and for parking.” Harrison said the Leopold Centre building is in need of repairs and will no longer be needed as a storage space for parks once the consolidated public works building is complete.
The city is looking into building a onelevel, three-bedroom facility on the property with a design in mind to allow for additions to the building in the future, depending on space. Harrison said they have met with Hospice Quinte and are following a similar plan as the recently built hospice in Warkworth. The cost to build the facility is estimated at around $400,000. “Once we get everything in line then we will start a fundraising campaign and hopefully we can put together enough money to complete this project in this term of council, that’s what I’m hoping,” Harrison said. People have brought up the possibility of building a space for terminally ill patients in Trenton Memorial Hospital but Harrison said a home setting outside of the hospital is preferred. “We’re hoping that this space is very comfortable and very inviting for people and hopefully it makes the process that they’re having to go through less stressful,” said Harrison. Harrison said he expects a proposal for the project to come before council in March.

OPINION
Oil downturn
“The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent,” said John Maynard Keynes (or maybe it wasn’t him, but no matter). At any rate, that was the eternal verity the Saudi Arabians were counting on when they decided to let oil production rip – and the oil price collapse – in 2014. Gwynne Dyer late The Saudi objective was to keep the oil price low enough, long enough, to drive American shale oil producers out of business and preserve the OPEC cartel’s market share. (The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries controls only 30 per cent of world oil production, which is already very low for what was meant to be a price-fixing cartel.) The end of sanctions against Iran and that country’s push to raise production and regain its old market share put further downward pressure on the oil price. So did the slowdown in China’s economy. High-cost shale-oil producers in the United States are really hurting (US oil production this year will be down by 700,000 barrels a day), but the OPEC producers are hurting too – and it looks like the Saudis just blinked. On Tuesday Saudi Arabia, Russia, Venezuela and Qatar announced that they would freeze their oil production at the January level. Most other OPEC members are expected to follow suit, and since Saudi Arabia and Russia (not an OPEC member) are the second- and third-largest oil producers in the world, the freeze will affect almost half of the world’s oil production. That will not be enough to rescue the economies of OPEC countries and Russia from their current crisis. (All their economies are actually shrinking, and Saudi Arabia has gone from a budget surplus amounting to 13 per cent of GDP in 2012 to a deficit of 21 per cent last year.) Freezing production will not get the oil price back up when the current global production level is at least two million barrels a day higher than global demand. In fact, the oil glut is so great that the world is running out of places to store the excess production. US and European oil storage facilities are full, and people are already talking about buying tankers as floating storage. Since the beginning of this year the oil price, as high as $115 a barrel less than two years ago, has dipped down into the twenties several times. Not only will the new production freeze not solve this problem; it won’t really even freeze produc-

tion. If there’s one thing that OPEC members do well, it is to cheat on their production figures and pump more oil than they admit. As for Russia, it broke the last deal it made with OPEC about freezing production, and it will probably do it again. Ineffective as this deal is, it illustrates the mounting panic in the major oil producers as the prospect of a long period of very low oil prices opens out ahead of them. Saudi Arabia and Russia are edging towards a direct military confrontation in Syria – the Russian air force backs the Assad regime, and the Saudis are talking about sending ground troops to fight it – but the oil price transcends such issues. So what conclusions may we draw from all this? First, the price of oil will stay down. In the short run it may even go lower: Morgan Stanley analysts say that oil in the $20 range is possible if China devalues its currency further, and Standard Chartered Bank predicts that prices could hit just $10 a barrel. The production freeze might allow the oil price to return to the low $40 range in the medium term, if Chinese demand does not collapse entirely and if the producers keep their promises. That price would enable most of the fracking operations in the United States to stay in business, but it would still fall far short of balancing the budgets of Russia and Saudi Arabia. They can’t really afford to have a full-scale war over Syria. Second, OPEC members with large populations and national budgets that depend heavily on oil revenues (more than 75 per cent) face the prospect of major civil unrest or even revolution. This includes Nigeria, Algeria, Venezuela and Angola. Iran and non-OPEC member Mexico face lesser political risks, but they are not negligible. Finally, a prolonged period of low oil and gas prices will hit the whole array of climate-friendly energy and transportation technologies, from wind farms to electric cars. Energy costs still matter, even if governments can rectify the balance to some extent with carbon pricing and other regulatory measures. But coal, the most polluting of the fossil fuels, still faces early extinction since its main rival for power generation is ever cheaper gas. A ruthlessly rational OPEC leadership (i.e. a Saudi Arabia run by competent economists and strategists) would just end the cash hemorrhage and reduce the political risk by cutting production sharply and getting oil prices back up. But the great gamble to break the US frackers by driving them into bankruptcy was not an ownerless, free-floating policy that somehow took root in OPEC soil. It was a specific strategy that was conceived and promoted by particular powerful individuals, most notably high-ranking Saudi individuals. They would lose a great deal of face if they had to abandon it, so it will be with us for a while yet.

6 Quinte West News - Thursday, February 25, 2016
No first responder left behind Editorial - Chris Malette Anyone who knows a cop, an EMS responder or firefighter has heard the harrowing tales these men and women experience while on the job. Imagine, you’re a police officer responding to a scene where a life has been taken, or a suicide has occurred. It’s a bloodied scene and there may have been children involved. Or a firefighter or ambulance first responder needs to crawl into a wreck to help save the life of a trapped individual, someone who may be screaming in pain or seriously maimed in the mishap. They’re images and experiences journalists often witness, as well, but it’s the above mentioned individuals who bear the brunt of carrying that baggage while trying to do their job. Day-in and day-out. The emotional impact of those repeated hits to the psyche can take its toll in the form of illness, even suicide. Now, there seems to be help on the way. According to reports from Queen’s Park, first responders with post-traumatic stress disorder will be able to get quicker and easier access to benefits and treatment under legislation introduced last Thursday. The law would create a presumption that PTSD in first responders is work related, removing the need for them to prove a causal link to the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board. The legislation will be fully rolled out after MPPs return from their winter break in midFebruary. It would cover police officers, firefighters, paramedics, workers in correctional institutions, dispatchers of police, firefighter and ambulance services, and First Nations emergency response teams. A contingent of first responders travelled to Queen’s Park and spoke of the trials of trying to explain to employers, workers compensation boards and the like that they are indeed struggling with their lives after exposure to on the job mental and emotional trauma. Labour Minister Kevin Flynn says it’s important to keep safe the people who keep everyone else safe. He says first responders are at least twice as likely — compared to the general population — to suffer PTSD. “Certainly, it leans that way, and that’s the type of thing we’ve been looking at,” he told reporters after a speech to the Ontario Professional Firefighters Association.
The move was hailed by Carmen Santoro, president of the firefighters association, who told The Toront Star more first-responders need help as soon as possible to prevent complications and higher costs later if medical care is delayed. “There’s less than a handful of employers that are taking the lead on PTSD. The others, in my opinion, are waiting for the provincial government to take the lead.” Only when employers take PTSD seriously will first-responders deal with any issues they’re facing, Santoro added. “If they have a feeling it’s not going to be addressed, then why bother bringing it to the forefront? That’s troubling for our members.” The presumption would apply to new claims, as well as pending claims and claims in the process of being appealed. In an exhaustive piece in which Star reporters spoke to about a dozen police officers, examples of the silent but devastating effects of PTSD were recounted. (http://www.thestar. com/news/crime/2012/10/05/how_the_ontario_provincial_police_deals_with_officers_ ptsd.html), o ne of the officers profiled in the story hailed the pending legislation. Retired Ontario Provincial Police officer Bruce Kruger hopes the proposed legislation will fix the “totally unfair” WSIB claim system. After developing PTSD nearly three decades on the job, Kruger tried twice over an eightyear period to have his claim accepted with the WSIB. He was finally compensated after “a full day of basically crying my eyes out in front of an adjudicator and two lawyers who said I was not deserving.” “You can imagine how demoralizing, how terribly tragic it is to have to relive all the incidents that I had been involved with,” said Kruger. “To go through that was hell.” No first responder –or their families, friends or loved ones – be subjected to an unsupportive system that expects maximum professionalism and sure-mindedness from these people, but which fails to support them in their most desperate time of need. We have supports for all manner of health issues – from subsidized drug benefits to dental programs for those who can’t afford the work – but for those who suffer mostly in silence, until now, there has been nothing. Here’s hoping for non-partisan, speedy enactment and support for this legislation.

The Quinte West Sports Hall of Fame needs your help Quinte West - The Quinte West Sports Wall of fame is looking for the community’s help locating a photo of a man named Glenn Dafoe who was a famed boxer in the community in the late 1930’s and early 1940’s. “He just completely disappeared after 1950,” said Bill Huffman, member of the Quinte West Sports Hall of Fame committee. “We would like to find somebody, possibly a family member that may still be in the area, who can give us information on how to get a picture of him because we want to induct him into our 2017 Wall of Fame.” Dafoe won gold gloves, a prestigious accomplishment in the area at the time, and also was part of the boxing scene at Toronto’s Maple Leaf Gardens when they hosted regular boxing shows. Huffman came across Dafoe’s boxing accomplishments while doing research at the Quinte West Public Library. “I went down in early April to research two or three people, figuring it was going to take me two or three weeks,” Bill said. “I ended up being there until September.” He found out that Dafoe attended the old Dufferin Public School, lived at approximately 159 Dufferin Ave. in the 1940s, and played many sports including softball, baseball and hockey. But Huffman said he couldn’t find any information of what became of Dafoe. Anyone with information is asked to call Huffman at 613-392-0796. The Quinte West Sports Wall of Fame, located at the Quinte West YMCA, has been growing for the past seven years. They are now moving onto their third wall as more and more people and teams are inducted Bill Huffman, member of the Quinte West Sports Hall of Fame committee, is seeking the public’s help in locating a photo of Glenn Dafoe, a famed boxer in the community in the into the wall of fame every year. late 1930’s to early 1940’s.

Quinte Woodturners create beauty from old wood By Terry McNamee Fallen trees, old logs or discarded pieces of wood may seem worthless to some people or good only for firewood. But members of the Quinte Woodturners Guild see them as future bowls, walking sticks, pepper mills, Christmas ornaments, vases and other beautiful things. The Guild was founded in 1992 and has members from across the region and Prince Edward County. The group currently has about 35 members, and meets on Thursday evenings at the Trenton Senior Citizens’ Club, which has a workshop and lathes for turning old wood into art. Everyone who is interested in woodturning is welcome to pay a visit and perhaps join. “We take everybody that wants to come out and give it a try,” said long-time member Jim Hill of Trenton. “If they don’t have a lathe, they can join the Seniors’ Club and use the one here.” Wondering what woodturning is? You can come and see for yourself this weekend.
“We’re demonstrating at Loyalist college next Saturday, Feb. 27,” said club president Ken Lorenz from Port Hope. That is the day of the Quinte Region Food Share Empty Bowls fundraiser for eight local food banks. The Woodturners Guild has donated a large number of hand-crafted wooden bowls and plates to the event, which also will feature bowls made by potters from Hasting, Prince Edward and Northumberland Counties. People can buy a tickets for $20 for a gourmet soup lunch served in the cafeteria at the college, and choose a wooden or pottery bowl from all the ones donated. The event runs from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Woodturned bowls generally sell for between $40 and $100 each, so this is a great deal, Lorenz said. The woodturners’ demonstration will be held in the morning prior to the lunch. “We’ll be offering some of our turnings for sale,” Lorenz added. Turners use a variety of types of wood. Some is native to the area, including box elder, different kinds of maple, oak, cherrywood and

so on. Other woods are more exotic, such as purple heart, which has a rich purple colour. The shape of the item is cut on a lathe, then turned over and hollowed out, again on the lathe. Sometimes that is the quickest part of the process! Once the shape is created, the person has to sand and sand and sand some more until the item is silky smooth. Then a finish is applied, which can be lacquer, polyurethane or even oil or wax rubbed into the wood. Sometimes more sanding is required A few members of the Quinte Woodturners Guild display some of the bowls that are being donated to the Food Share Empty between coats, depending on the type of finBowls fundraiser for eight local food banks, which is taking place this Saturday, Feb. 27, at Loyalist College.

Hayes of Belleville.
While the Quinte club is almost all men at the moment, women are welcome, too. Lorenz said that Ontario’s oldest club, located in Toronto, has many female members. You don’t need experience or a lathe of your own to join, either, he said. It costs $30 a year to join, plus $2 per meeting to pay for the use of the Seniors’ Club for meetings. Members old enough to belong are encouraged to join the Seniors’ Club as well. The group now has a website at www. quintewoodturners.com, which includes contact information and additional details for anyone interested to joining or coming out to a meeting.

Impaired backhoe operator Quinte West - A 29 year old Quinte West man is facing an impaired driving charge after a backhoe rolled into a ditch in the aftermath of the recent winter snow storm. Provincial Police were called just after 9 p.m. 10 Quinte West News - Thursday, February 25, 2016
Tuesday to County Road 2 near Smithfield. Officers on the scene allege the backhoe operator had been consuming alcohol. Joshua Hickey faces two charges and will be in court next month.
First tapping hints at sweet treats to come By Jack Evans Consecon - It looks easy. You tap a tree, collect sap, boil it down and get maple syrup. But, the new technology behind this ancient skill of making maple syrup, which goes back to aboriginal tribes throwing hot rocks into wooden trays to boil down the sap, brings its own set of problems. Today’s maple syrup operation is a far cry from what were considered modern sap houses a few years ago. An example is Walt’s Sugar Shack in Ameliasburgh Ward, just east of Consecon, where the traditional “first tapping” ceremony for the Quinte District Maple Syrup Producers Local was held Friday. The sprawling group takes in from Kingston area, through to Oshawa and embraces hundreds of maple syrup producers. Brian and Jane Walt are relatively new, starting up with their family’s heritage 10-acre sugar bush in 1999 and expanding to now more than 1,300 taps. The property goes back in the Walt name about 200 years, however. Representing the association was Chris Koomans, president, a producer from the Waupoos area, who presented the Walts with a plaque in recognition of their hospitality. Producers from a radius of 30 miles also attended, with Prince Edward County Mayor Robert Quaiff doing the official tapping assisted by Brian Walt’s father, John, using an old-fashioned stick-mounted bit. (In most past ceremonies, power drills were used.) Walt was making no predictions about the coming year’s harvest. “We won’t know until we see it.”
Getting back to technology, the process was improved in the 1800s when evaporators were developed, using sheet metal soldered together in specially designed pans. These later led to some concerns about exposure to lead from the solder used in the process, corrected in recent years by moulded stainless steel pans. The Walts stick to old fashioned wood fire, but with high-tech differences. They use a reverse osmosis machine to concentrate the sap, and pre-heating with a steam unit before boiling. The efficiency, said Walt, is amazing. “We used to use about 40 cords of slab wood, now we only need about six or seven cords.” Another modern device automatically controls the boiling point based on air pressure. That alone can affect the boiling temperature by up to one to two degrees, he said, “and that can make quite a difference.” The Walts have now become part of the county’s growing tourism industry, attracting many visitors throughout the sap season. “People just drop in on weekends, 7:30 on a Saturday for coffee and breakfast. Then they usually pitch in as volunteers to help repair or build something or other chores. We couldn’t really operate without our volunteers,” he said, adding that the camaraderie with the visitors is one of the highlights. The current system of collecting sap by a network of plastic hoses continues to be plagued by gnawing activities by squirrels,” but we just live with it,” he said. Other problems in their particular area are large flocks of wild turkeys which will sit on the lines and can bring them down. At another sugar bush in Tyendinaga Township an unex-

pected problem one year was a herd of elk which roamed through the bush, wreaking havoc with plastic lines. Within the next few days, clouds of steam from dozens of sap houses across the region will herald a new crop of fresh maple syrup, a product which
recent research indicates is better for one’s health even than honey, based on nutritives and enzymes. Also announced was a one-day family event at the farm in August to raise funds for a new county hospital, a project which the Walt family all support.
Let’s get our kids moving! Lots of good things happen when our kids move more. Being active doesn’t have to mean planned, structured exercise. All you have to do is encourage that natural urge to ‘Run. Jump. Play. Every day.’

Local Wood Initiative aims to boost economy, reduce carbon
By Diane Sherman
Ivanhoe - When trees decay they release carbon dioxide, but if harvested for lumber the carbon is locked in. As healthy trees, they are “the lungs of the planet” reducing carbon. The Local Wood Initiative (LWI) is working to ensure forests stay healthy. It is partnership of Hastings Stewardship Council (HSC), Bancroft Forest Industry Association, Bancroft Area Stewardship Council and Harvest Hastings, funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation. On February 11, professionals shared their perspectives on the benefits and threats to forests. Tim Gray, management specialist with Forest Ontario’s 50 Million Tree Program, says there are subsidies for planting on private land and tax incentives for using a managed woodlot plan. They are also willing to train and pay people to collect tree seed. Professionals assess fallow fields for planting or woodlots for sustainable harvest and provide students to plant. The LWI helps owners adapt a managed forest plan and promote sales of wood products to local industries. Data shows 65 per cent of land in Hastings County is forest. Gray says the county could be self-sufficient with wood as renewable energy, and forest byproducts boosting the
economy. Ernie Demuth, a senior compliance technician with Bancroft Minden Forest Company, says a serious threat to hardwood forests is Beech Bark disease It was found in Hastings and Haliburton Counties in 2010. Most diseased beech were removed, but since offshoots propagate the pathogen, they too must be suppressed. Demuth says there is hope some beech will be resilient to disease. It is one of the most common, ecologically important trees in our forests, a primary protein source for black bears. Loss of the species could devastate the ecosystem. Danijela Puric-Mladenovic reviewed the benefits of trees and green space on our general well being. She holds a doctorate in forestry from the University of Toronto, is an assistant professor, and a landscape analyst with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. She recalls doctors in her homeland of Serbia prescribing mountain retreats for everything from stress to heart disease. An advocate of conservation, she designs urban green spaces and forest management plans to conserve biodiversity. She says removal of hedgerows, historically known to divide fields, is destroying a unique diversity of species remaining from
original growth. Early settlers, she says, left barren lots where invasive species took over, a problem we have continued to deal with. Her forest management tools strive to regenerate natural species
and assure new growth while harvesting mature trees on rotation of 20 to 50 years. Find out more about the LWI at <localwood. harvesthastings.ca> or phone Matt Caruana at 613-391-9034.

Operation Red Nose celebrates 2015 campaign Belleville – Operation Red Nose Quinte wrapped up the 2015 campaign on Friday, Feb. 19 with its annual Volunteer Appreciation Banquet at the Banquet Centre. People involved with the operation celebrated another successful year of keeping local roads safe during the festive season.

Operation Red Nose is an original way to ride in one’s own vehicle without getting behind the wheel; volunteers take people in their own vehicles home and the service is free. Donations to the program are accepted and 100 per cent of the donations received are used to support local youth programs. This year’s 2015 Honorary Co-Chairs Jennifer Tretina and Kelly McKinney were

Brighton - “Sometimes I think what I do for a living is quite ordinary because I love it so much. I guess that’s why it doesn’t seem all that remarkable,” says Ian Simpson who began his acting career at East Northumberland Secondary School...with a part as a soldier in “The Mouse That Roared.” “Look at all the castles” was his one line, yet he fell in love with theatre and decided that’s what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. He spoke to the Presqu’ile Probus Club about his experience on stage, admitting he was pretty lucky when he was hired on for Mama Mia. He went to San Francisco for Mama Mia for five weeks to fill in for an injured friend, and during that time another person left the show, so he took that part permanently. “Little did I know that when I was sitting in my Toronto apartment waiting for my visa to travel to the States, that I wouldn’t be back for seven years,” he said. “I just knew that this was one of those experiences that don’t come along often.” But not everyone is that lucky. “When it snows, it reminds me of what life is like to be a performer,” he said. “A few days ago, there was nothing, and now there’s a lot. Kind of like being an actor. Nothing, then it all comes at once.” Simpson went to theatre school and upon graduation, he got a job. “Most actors have a day job, and it has to be flexible because you never know when you’ll get a call,” he said. “I was lucky when I was in Toronto, because I used to work at the O’Keefe Centre.” Although having an agent isn’t required, Simpson said he’d recom-
mend it to anyone wanting to try their hand at the stage. He didn’t have one at first, but during one of his earlier performances, he was approached by an agent and signed on. “It’s good to get a professional headshot done, and a resume.” Over his career he kept a book of all his head shots, and he handed it around, chuckling at the different looks over the years. It’s important to stay in shape both physically and vocally, because old school actors didn’t have mics, with singers taking singing classes once a week when they weren’t working, and dancers taking dance classes. “If you don’t, and you get a call, you might be rusty.” Simpson worked a fair amount at Stratford over the years, and he had just finished up a gig there and spent some time with his mom who lived at Applefest Lodge. She went into the hospital about two years ago, and while he was with her, she asked him to sing, “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” She asked him if he was going back to Stratford, and he said no, but shortly after his mom died he got a call from Stratford asking if he’d go for a reading. That song was a part of the show. “It was almost like my mom was saying something to me.” “It was an important time for me.” He finished up in Stratford in November, and hasn’t worked since. “It’s an age thing. I went through a stage where I was playing people’s dads, and now I’m playing people’s grandfathers, and there’s not as much call for grandfathers.” Still, he said he’s had an exciting few weeks, with several calls to audition. A recent one had it down from about 50 actors to two, and he was
one of the two, but he didn’t get the part. He had some exciting news from three auditions about a week ago, but he refused to let the cat out of the bag until all the Is were dotted and the Ts crossed. “Some very exciting things are happening which makes me think of past times when nothing was happening.” He’s been doing renovations on his house, so he took that as a sign that he was where he should have been. One of his favourite stories was about autographing posters after a show. He looked over and saw his mother was signing a poster. Asking her what she was doing and she
said, “Well, I’m your mother.” out in the universe and the universe “So somewhere out there, some- answers you.” one has a poster signed by my mother!” While he’s in Brighton he loves doing concerts with Brighton performer Stephanie Bird. “I love Brighton, I love the people, and I’ll do anything I can do to give back.” Right now he’s on the road to nurture young people to help them with their careers. “That’s another part of my life that I would really like to explore.

Dr. Brian Ho Myth: It doesn’t matter what type of toothbrush you use. Not all toothbrushes are created equal. Soft brushes are recommended as hard brushes have bristles that can cause damage to your teeth and gums. The use of toothbrushes with hard bristles can lead to conditions such as receding gums and cause ledges to form along teeth if one is too aggressive about brushing. Therefore, the recommendation is to brush at least twice a day with a soft bristle toothbrush. Myth: If you brush, you don’t need to floss

The mouth is filled with bacteria. Brushing only removes bacteria from the front and inside surfaces of teeth. It cannot help you clean in between the teeth. Yes, even electric toothbrushes cannot clean in between teeth either. Flossing is the only way to remove the bacteria between teeth so that you won’t get cavities there (I nickname these cavities as “flossing cavities”) Myth: Cosmetic dentistry is only for the rich and famous You would be surprised how affordable cosmetic dental procedures are. You can always budget for them and there are thirdpartyfinancingorganizations available to assist you with making those procedures more affordable. Currently, whitening procedures are the most affordable and popular cosmetic services across Canada. Myth: You only need to visit the dentist if you have a problem Most oral health conditions remain quite silent in our mouths especially early on. For example, cavities, when small, often cannot
it reaches close to the nerve. At this point, the tooth will likely require a root canal and crown or even worse an extraction (tooth loss). Another group of conditions that often goes unnoticed by patients are the gum diseases. Most gum diseases are not felt until you the teeth become quite loose. However, by that time, it is usually too late to save them and the result is tooth loss. By visiting your dentist regularly, your dentist can detect these problems early and correct them before major dental procedures become necessary. Not only will you save your teeth but you will also save your money. Myth: Root canals never work. After a root canal my tooth just broke and it had to be removed. This is partially true. Root canal therapy is a very effective treatment for relieving toothaches. However, all root canal treated teeth are at risk for fracture. Any teeth in the back of the mouth with root canal treatments need to be capped. Otherwise, you are at risk for losing them due to breakage. Myth: I don’t need teeth because I can always get dentures. This is a very serious misconception. Individuals who must resort to the use of dentures experience a complete change in their lifestyle. Wearing dentures means that you will likely have to avoid eating certain types of food because they may be too difficult to chew. Another concern that most denture wearers share are dentures becoming loose. This results because the shape of the inside of the mouth changes with tooth loss and therefore dentures will become ill-fitting and loose with time. However, sometimes even the best fitting dentures will not stay in place because dentures experience a multitude of forces that knock them out of place. One example is the movement of the tongue during eating or even talking. That is why dentures alone are not an appropriate replacement for your teeth. discuss next time. Please stay tuned.

Floorball championships get a major boost from local car dealer The 2016 U-19 Women’s World Floorball Championships got a major financial boost this week, as a local car dealer came on board as a major sponsor. Belleville car dealer West City Honda has given $25,000 to the organizers and will now be a major sponsor for the tournament. President and general manager of West City Honda, Greg Sudds said, “It is great to be able to support the community and this is a big event for Belleville. It is terrific that the local organizing committee, the city and others have pulled together, to bring a world championship to Belleville. West City Honda is proud to get behind this event and support the world championships. We are glad to be able to help out.” The committee was overwhelmed by the gesture. “We are proud to have West City Honda on board for the
U-19 Women’s World Floorball Championships. West City Honda is one of a number of key local businesses helping us realize the dream of not only hosting an event of this magnitude, but hosting in a way that the City of Belleville and Canada can be proud,” said president of the Under 19 Women’s World Floorball Championships Brett Davis. “It is through the tireless local support of groups like West City Honda, that an event like this can be on display for all to witness.” Metroland Media is a Platinum Sponsor for the Floorball Chamionships. It was announced in 2015 that Belleville was chosen as host of the Under-19 Women’s World Floorball Championships this May 4 to 8. Sixteen countries and 400 athletes will visit Belleville in the city’s first ever world championship.
Members of the Canadian Women’s Under 19 Floorball team and officials from West City Honda gathered for a photo on Thursday, Feb. 18 to celebrate the dealership becoming a major sponsor for the World Championships taking place May 4 to 8 in Belleville. Pictured (from left) are Greg Sudds and Bob Burley, from West City Honda, with organizing committee chairman Brett Davis and sponsorship chair Alyssa Engelsdorfer. The players include Madi Brinklow, Livy Greaves, Alexa Hoskin and Captain Hannah Wilson along with coach Todd Crawford. Photo by Stephen Petrick
This is the first time a floorball world championship will be held in the Americas (North or South). The event is expected to cost around $1 million to put on, generating around $3.8 million in local economic impact. More information on the tournament is available at www.floorball2016.ca

Trenton Golden Hawks set new franchise record By Erin Stewart Trenton – Not only did the Trenton Golden Hawks pull off a 3-2 win in overtime against the tough Kingston Voyageurs on Friday Feb. 19, they also broke the team’s franchise record with their 42nd win of the season. “It feels pretty good,” Hunter Fargey said about the team setting a new franchise record. “I was here last year and we set 41 so to get 42 this year is a bonus.” Fargey, a Belleville native, chipped in the team’s winning goal at 43 seconds into overtime. He has had a fantastic season, continuing a 10 game win streak with his overtime goal, and he’s ranked as the team’s fourth top scorer with 48 points as of Feb. 19. The Hawks, ranked first in the Ontario Junior
Hockey League’s (OJHL) east division, faced off against Kingston, ranked second in the east division, for the second time in one week. Again, the close game went into overtime and again, the Hawks pulled through with the win. “We came out a little flat, (goalie) Urbani kept us in the game,” Coach Jerome Dupont said of the team’s start to the game. “Then we got our legs… you’ve got to make the plays to win tight games and (Brandon) Marinelli made a hell of a play to set up Fargey for the winner.” The Golden Hawks put up a strong defence, not allowing Kingston to score on any of its four penalty plays. The Voyageurs’ penalty kill was also spotless, not letting in a single goal on Trenton’s three power plays. Blayne Oliver and Quinn Lenihan scored the first two goals for the Hawks and Brandon Mari-

nelli, Kevin Lavoie, Keaton Ratcliffe, Nick Boddy and Curtis Harvey each chipped in an assist. Connor Cobbold and Anthony Rinaldi scored Kingston’s two goals from Cole Beckstead and Ian Harris each registered an assist. Hawks’ star goalie Daniel Urbani stopped 20 out of 22 shots sent his way while Kingston’s David Richer rejected 23 out of 26 shots. The Trenton Golden Hawks have one more week before playoffs begin. “At this point we want to finish the regular season strong so that we have a bit of a momentum going into the playoffs and that’s our main objective,” Dupont said. Update: The Trenton Golden Hawks beat the Wellington Dukes 4-2 during their away game on Sunday Feb. 21, further bettering their franchise record.
The Hawks scored three unanswered third-period goals to defeat the Dukes. The win evens the regular-season series between the two local Jr. A hockey clubs, 2-2. Curtis Harvey, Hunter Fargey and Jordan Chard scored — in that order — for TGH in the final frame. In what might’ve made for an exciting finish, Wellington’s Ben Sokay was stoned by Trenton netminder Jackson McIntosh on a late penalty shot attempt. Luc Brown and Sokay had posted the hometown Dukes to a 2-0 first-period lead before Trenton’s Quinn Lenihan carved that advantage in half before the intermission. The second stanza was scoreless. The team has two more league games left of the season, the first in Lindsay on Friday Feb. 26, and the second in Aurora on Saturday Feb. 27.
Stirling Pewee AE Blues lose to Ennismore Stirling — The Stirling Peewee AE Blues hosted the Ennismore Eagles at the Stirling Community Centre on Monday, Feb. 22, and ended up on the losing end of an 8-4 score. The teams were playing their “second season” for those that failed to make the playoffs this year. The Eagles were ahead 4-2 at the end of the second period and the Blues could not make up the deficit despite several opportunities. Tanner Gordon led the scoring for the Blues with a goal and two assists. Andrew Shalia had one goal and one assist. Nolan Price and Tyler Lessard scored the other two goals for Stirling. Mark Arsenault had two assists, with singles awarded to Aaron Long and Gavin Windsor. The team’s next game is this Friday, Feb. 26, at 7:30 p.m. in Stirling against the Prince Edward County Kings. They will be at the Tweed-Hungerford Community Centre at noon on Saturday, Feb. 27, to take on the Tweed Hawks. 18 Quinte West News - Thursday, February 25, 2016

Assisting in the second were Philip with two and Butcher with one. The Petes tried to claw back from their deficit by sneaking two past the Devils but the Devils answered back with another two from Langdon and Murray, both unassisted, to finish the game with a 8-2 Devils win. Back home on Sunday to host the Petes, both teams were fast on the puck and with the Petes battling to stay in the playoffs the pressure was on Quinte to finish the series. Ty McCambridge opened up the Devils scoring, capitalizing on a Peterborough change, to shoot a beauty past the Pete’s goalkeeper and make it a 1-0 Devils lead. The Petes came back to tie up the game early in the second but the Red Devils were unshaken and battled back with two of their own goals in the second to once again take the lead. Goals in the second came from Wright, assisted by Nolan Donnelly and Philip, assisted by Butcher and Stevenson. Dean Spry made some key saves in the third and Philip added his second of the game to round out the score at 4-1 final and a sweep of the series.

Teacher freed on bail, faces 36 sex charges
Belleville - A local elementary school teacher has been released from custody after being charged with 36 counts of sex crimes involving four minors. Jaclyn Lindsay McLaren, who is also known as Jaclyn (Jackie) Jones, 36, of Stirling, is free on a $100,000 bond. She appeared in a bail hearing Friday in Belleville court. Ontario Provincial Police confirmed the woman is employed as a teacher with the Bellevillebased Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board. A ban on publication has been ordered to protect the identities of the complainants, four boys who were believed to have been students at the time of the alleged incidents. Ontario Provincial Police investigator Sgt. Peter Leon said the charges now involve four young people ages 12 to 15 and date from 2013 to 2016. Investigators say the incidents occurred in Tweed. Sources say it is believed the alleged incidents occurred when McLaren/Jones was a French teacher in Tweed. Sources also said she had been transferred out of that school in recent months, howIn this image taken from a now closed Instagram account, the Stirling woman charged with multiple counts involving sexual ever. dealings with minors, is shown in a selfie.

with eight counts of sexual exploitation, six counts of luring a person younger than 16 and six counts of making sexually explicit material available to a person under 16. McLaren/Jones is charged with three counts of making child pornography and one count of making sexually explicit material available to children. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also charged with four
counts each of sexual assault on a person younger than 16, sexual interference with a person younger than 16 and making an invitation to sexual touching involving a person younger than 16. Police began investigating McLaren/Jones on Sunday Feb. 14. On Monday, Feb 15, they charged the teacher and she was held
in custody until her release Friday in Belleville court. It is reported McLaren/Jones has been removed from her teaching position, but it is unclear if she is on paid leave while the matters are before the court. Represented by Belleville defence lawyer Pietr Kort, McLaren/Jones was released from custody and was placed in the care of her parents by Justice of the Peace Sam Cureatz. Cureatz ordered her not to have any contact with the four minors involved as complainants in the case or with any boy younger than 18. She must avoid public places where minors may gather and has been ordered not to possess a cell phone. Computers in her parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home were to be removed and McLaren/ Jones is also banned from possessing weapons. In a release, OPP asked that anyone with information on the McLaren/Jones case can call 1-888-310-1122 and ask for the Central Hastings OPP crime unit. Anonymous tips may be made to Crime Stoppers at www.tipsubmit.ca or 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). McLaren/Jones is to return to court March 31.

Women’s U-19 World Floorball Championships Yes, it really IS a big deal Q & A with the President of the 2016 Women’s u-19 World Floorball Championships Brett Davis 1. How did floorball even come into a conversation for you? At Moira Secondary School, phys ed coach Todd Crawford came into my classroom and asked me if I wanted to take U-19 Women to Slovakia for the 2011 World Championship and I said yes. We made two quick phone calls, put in the registration money we had to get a team together in nine months. 2. Did you think this was serious? Crawford told me he was going to make a general manager out of me and I said okay. Next I said what the hell is floorball? We started to know more about the sport, Todd had already coached the Canadian Men’s team and we put a team together and went over. 3. What was your first world championship team like? We learned a lot about floorball on that trip. We also played against the Hungarian national team. We had to learn some of the rules while we were playing against a Group A team and we only lost 7-4. They wanted to know how long we had been playing and we told them it was our first game. We told them it was very similar to hockey and we know hockey. Our whole team was hockey players through and through.
4. After the 2012 worlds in Slovakia what was next for you in floorball? We had about 60 athletes routinely playing floorball ahead of the next world championships in Poland. They weren’t just converted hockey players any more. We were taking the best players at our disposal. We thought we were a favourite in the Group B teams, to possibly win and move up into group A. The Poland tournament was a good growing experience, although we didn’t win. We played some local teams as well and the program continued to grow after the Poland tournament.
wanted the sport to grow around the world and they were looking to North and South America to host an upcoming tournament. We were up against Switzerland and we felt we were going to be in a close race. Out of the 13 votes, we won it 9-4.
5. How did the first conversation start that Belleville could host a world championship tournament? In 2013, the City of Belleville was in the process of constructing the brand new Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre and we knew how good it was going to be. We felt it would work really well for a floorball tournament. We then talked to city officials and we announced we were interested in hosting the tournament, Mark Wilson, Mark Fluhrer, Peter Lyng, everyone we met with was on board. M.P Daryl Kramp, M.P.P Todd Smith, Mayor Neil Ellis, they were all on side. We submitted our bid in Prague Czech Republic. The IFF (International Floorball Federation) stated they
7. Did you have an idea of what would go into hosting a world championship? I was naive enough to think we could run it that week. I was mistaken. I knew it would be busy in the weeks leading up to the tournament, I had no idea it would be insane about one year out. That was a surprise. The meetings for media, for television rights, hotels, food, flights, travel, sponsorship, security, logistics, tickets, volunteers, it is incredible the amount that goes into it. It is a process, you have to give a little, you have to take a little. It is one process after another, but many people are working together to make it happen. It is countless hours getting things just right.
6. How did you find out you won the bid? I received a call at 5 a.m on Mother’s Day (2013) that we were hosting the 2016 tournament. I was told not to tell anyone for 48 hours. It was a long 48 hours. That afternoon we organized a press conference for a few days later and then we announced to the world we were going to be hosting the world. 8. Do you feel Belleville and the Quinte area are ready to take on this challenge? We are getting there. There is still a lot left to do, but it is starting to become a reality now that we are less than three months out. To think that I get to be a part of Belleville hosting the world for the first time is humbling. It makes me very proud. This is the best of the best coming. Sixteen countries are coming to our doorstep. They will be playing for the world title. It is awesome.

Many changes as Choral Society concert approaches By Jack Evans Belleville Choral Society officials report a “season of change” as they approach their annual spring concert, set for April 10 in St. Michael’s Church, Belleville. Over the past few months, some 20 new voices have joined the choir, bringing reinforcements to the choir’s alto and tenor sections. Significant among those are Diane Ankenmann and her husband , Doug. When Peter Fuller stepped down as accompanist for the choir following its most recent Christmas concert, Diane , with strong piano accreditations, stepped into that much-needed void. With her extensive experience as a pianist, accompanist and educator, her volunteer efforts made a “seamless transition” for the job in the words of one BCS official. The couple are among the many retirees to the Quinte area in recent years from the Metropolitan Toronto area, enriching the local area’s talent pool. The choir’s spring concert is titled: “Songs from the Heart,” and will be an eclectic mix of classic, sacred, folk and contemporary choral arrangements including jazz and show tunes. Special guests will include Alexandra Danahy, flautist, winner of a BCS scholarship and former member of the Quinte Youth Chorale under Rudolf Heijdens. One of the area’s major and senior cultural organizations, the choral society serves as a training ground for singers wanting to hone their skills and also as an outlet for talented amateur singers from across the area to sing in a recreational setting to the delight of local audiences. Tickets are now available at the Quinte Arts Council Office and on line at the choir’s new website: www.bellevillechoralsociety.org.

Quinte Symphony offers European Holiday
Music by such famous European composers as Rossini, Dvorak, Tchaikowsky and Rimsky-Korsakov will be featured in a concert by Quinte Symphony on Sunday, Feb. 28. The concert is set for 2 p.m. in Bridge Street Church. This is the public’s first opportunity to hear a new sound from the orchestra, now with several new players making significant contributions, including viola and cellos. One word that might sum up this program is “exciting,” as it is the first local performance of an amaz-
ing trumpet concerto by Russian composer Alexander Arutiunian (1920-2012.) His “Trumpet Concerto in A flat Major” will be the featured work on the program, played by Quinte Symphony’s own director of music and master trumpeter, Dan Tremblay, his first local performance as a soloist. An award-winning Russian composer, Arutiunian’s music was strongly influenced by American jazz and composers like Gershwin. Orchestra players report the public will find this music easily accessible and tuneful. It has been a long time since a trumpet concerto has been featured in a concert in Belleville. Assistant conductor, local resident Patrick

The Casey Charles Memorial Super Senior Bonspiel
By Sue Dickens
Campbellford – It wasn’t the Super Bowl, it was the Casey Charles Memorial Super Senior Bonspiel that brought together teams of men whose accumulative age per team had to total at least 280 years. “As long as the total age of everyone on the team came to 280, they could enter the competition,” said Glen Brubacher who has been curling since he was 16 and has organized the bonspiel here for the past three years. That meant a minimum age of 70 was required. Brubacher took over the role of organizer from Elton Hutchinson, a longtime curler and founding member of Campbellford’s curling club which hosted this bonspiel. He was also the oldest curler at the bonspiel, “in his early 90s”. He continues to curl on a regular basis but with the West Northumberland Curling Club in Cobourg where he now lives. The bonspiel was started in 2001 in memory of Casey Charles who “was quite a colourful fellow,” according to Hutchinson. “Our bonspiel is noted for being
the Casey Charles Memorial clam chowder bonspiel too,” said Brubacher as he explained that although he never met Casey Charles, “he was quite a social character and a chef,” who was famous for his clam chowder. “Casey Charles was a good buddy ... he was a cook on the navy ships that went overseas [during the war],” said Hutchinson. So clam chowder was served to the curlers for lunch. Two draw winners emerged from the day-long event with one team taking the Casey Charles Memorial trophy, and that was the winning rink from Trenton which included curlers Benny Brock, skip; Bob Bateman, vice; Lloyd Danford, second; and Bob Gates, lead. “They are very good curlers. Benny and Bob are fairly well known in curling and have been for some time,” commented Brubacher. A team from the Peterborough Curling Club led by Harry Litvin, skip, was a draw winner too. Others on the team included Ben Gaertner, vice; Jim Robinson, second; and Ken Koy-

anagi, lead. Even though the average age had to be 70 or more, the bonspiel attracted curlers from not only Campbellford but also from Brighton, Cobourg, Colborne, Ennismore, Lakefield, Napanee, Norwood, Omemee, Trenton and Peterborough. “Imagine getting all those curlers for that bonspiel with the age of a team at 280 years,” said Hutchinson, praising the organizers. Al Barr was co-chair of the bonspiel who, with Brubacher and a many helpers, made sure it was a successful day. “It was a huge success because of the great help I had from volunteers who worked in the kitchen and acted
as registrars and scorekeepers,” noted Brubacher, who included his committee of nine volunteers in that remark. “And although the Campbellford curlers may not have won, we’re all good hosts,” he added. Both Brubacher and Hutchinson agreed the bonspiel provided an opportunity for curlers to meet up again and renew acquaintances. “I really like the social aspect,” noted Brubacher. Hutchinson agreed, “You want to believe it ... it’s a great way to meet people from other clubs.” The annual bonspiel provided a chance for many reunions between friends that they only get to see at this event once every year.
Tentative agreement reached for public elementary teachers
The Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board and the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario, Hastings-Prince Edward Teacher Local have reached a tentative settlement on local bargaining issues. The two parties announced the settlement in a joint media release on Feb. 23. The news suggests there will be labour peace at public elementary schools. “We are pleased that the negotiation teams for the Board and ETFO worked collaboratively to reach a tentative agreement,” said Dwayne Inch, Chair of the Board. “Our elementary teachers play an important role in educating children, and we appreciate their contributions to student achievement and well-being. Dave Henderson, President of ETFO HastingsPrince Edward, added, “We are pleased that we have reached a tentative settlement with the board. This has been a lengthy and challenging process, but we believe the end result is a positive outcome for our members. “Our team would like to thank all of our members for their patience and support as we worked to achieve a fair settlement in this new bargaining framework. Ratification votes by both parties will take place in the coming weeks.

Madoc C.O.P.E. is not cutting back services or closing its doors
By Diane Sherman
Madoc - The executive director of the Madoc C.O.P.E. Corporation, Beverly Lloyd, says all agency programs are fully active. Community Opportunities for Progressive Employment, (C.O.P.E.) is a government transfer agency under the Ministry of Community and Social Services. Currently the ministry is working to create socially engaging work environments for clients across Ontario. Individuals with a developmental disability have been traditionally sent to “sheltered workshops”, set in locations away from mainstream life. It is these types of work places that
the ministry is hoping to phase out over time, as alternative competitive work environments are found where clients interact more with the general public. So, agencies are not taking any new clients into those “sheltered” programs. Madoc does not have sheltered workshops. They operate The Dough Box and Centre Car Wash in the village where clients work. Lloyd, as were directors of other developmental services agencies, was instructed to send home a mail-out on the sheltered workshop issue. She said many may have interpreted the information to mean Madoc C.O.P.E. is closing. “That is far from the truth. Our agen-
cy programs are actually growing.” Madoc C.O.P.E. serves clients in Central Hastings including Stirling, Tweed, Marmora, Ivanhoe, Eldorado and Madoc. It maintains a staff of 10 full-time workers (counting Lloyd) and three casual relief workers. Staff work in five support programs, youth to adult transition, a community participation service and support day program, supported independent living and employment supports. They also support individuals receiving Passport Funding to be more active in the community, and have incorporated the Health Energy Learning Motivation through Sports (HELMS) program into their current supports and programs.

Roblin – Friends and neighbours of Paul King, winner of a $100,000 scratch-and-win lottery prize, say he has set out to Newfoundland to buy back his family home in that province. King moved to Roblin about a year ago from Newfoundland and works for a landscaping company in the Roblin area. He has two sons and is reported to have been overwhelmed with his win in the Instant Bingo game. “He was jumping up and down,” said one acquaintance who added, “He’s a great guy, he’d give you the shirt off his back.” King is expected to return to Ontario within a week or two. “I had to check my ticket quite a few times before the reality sank in,” said King while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings. “I still have the shakes. “When my parents passed away a couple of years ago, their home in Newfoundland was sold and rented out,” he told lottery officials. “I want to buy our family home back and move in.” Lotto winner Paul King is known by friends as a generous soul. The winning ticket was purchased at Roblin He’s shown here with his winning cheque for Instant Bingo. SubGas Bar on Highway 41 in Roblin. mitted photo

Celebrating all things Celtic with a kitchen party Westben Arts Festival Theatre presented the first of its three fundraisers for the year – a rollicking Ceilidh Kitchen Party held at the Clock Tower Cultural Centre Sunday afternoon. The entertainment included performances by Kilt Trip, a poetry reading by Chick Reid and storytelling by Betty Bennett, who co-chaired
the event with Debra Richardson-Edge. Members of the Belleville’s Quinte Irish Canadian Society livened the party with their dancing. A Scotch tasting was held prior to the kitchen party getting underway. The event raised about $3,500 from the sale of 60 tickets, along with a silent auction and raffles of Celtic food.
Gord Reid conducted a session on the finer points of drinking Scotch. Photo by John Campbell Kilt Trip (whose members include Jana Reid and Andy Thompson) got Westben’s Ceilidh Kitchen Party off to a rousing start. Photo by John Campbell
