Trenton – The numbers are in and the sixth annual 2017 CFB Pond Hockey Classic Tournament was the most successful to date, raising $62,000 in support of the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation and Wounded Warriors Canada. CFB Trenton, in partnership with Scotiabank and Scotia Wealth Management, hosted 32 teams in the tournament on three outdoor rinks at the Batawa Community Centre on February 4 and 5. More than 190 people attended the “Legends of Hockey” dinner, featuring Eugene Melnyk and Linda Blanchette on February 3. “I’m thrilled, everything was up this year and to raise $62,000, we had a goal of $50,000 which I honestly personally thought might have been a little lofty at the time, but to not only meet our goal of the $50,000 but then exceed it by another $12,000 is incredible,” said Jeff Moorhouse, chair of the Pond Hockey Classic. The event has now totalled more than $200,000 since it began six years ago. Moorhouse said the weather was thankfully in their favour. “We were as close as you’re going to get to perfect tournament weekend weather which is great, 95 games in two days on three rinks and all outdoors, that’s how great we had for weather,” he said. Next year there is room for growth and Moorhouse said they will be looking to expand with more teams and a non-competitive league will be added, requested by many people. “We’ll be having two divisions right off the start, your competitive and non-competitive division, we now have enough teams we can do that,” said Moorhouse. “There’s a lot of people who like to just get out and play hockey for fun and they’re not really caring about winning, it’s about raising money for the charity.” Moorhouse said he hoping the non-competitive league will draw more women and female teams to

the classic. “This year I found out there are a couple all women teams who wanted to sign up but they’re afraid about the competition, just the competitiveness of it, so having a non-competitive league will allow them to get in,” he said. CFB Trenton Base Commander Col. Colin Keiver was also on hand at the announcement at Trenton Memorial Hospital on Monday Mar. 6 and he said it’s great to see such a successful result. “Its first year raised $6,200 and here we are this year with $62,000, it’s exceptional to see and to give back to a community like this, it’s amazing” he said. David MacDonald, national partnerships director with Wounded Warriors Canada, said seeing the growth this year is amazing.

“We’re already looking forward to next year’s tournament, hard at work already trying to get speakers and sponsorships already for it,” he said. “You can’t think of anything more Canadian than this, playing at Canada’s largest air force base, playing ice hockey out on a pond, run by Canadian military.” MacDonald said the Wounded Warriors Canada half of the money raised, $31,000, will be going towards helping Canadian Armed Forces military members and their families and they’ve also opened up their program to first responders as well. Next year the tournament will take place February 2-4 in Batawa. For more information visit hockeyfortroops.com.

Empty Bowls warms college, fuels food banks on chilly Saturday BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – The temperature was below freezing with a wind chill that made it feel like minus a lot more on Saturday. Not surprisingly, a bowl of soup was in order and there was a great turnout at Loyalist College for Empty Bowls, an event that allows people to savour a warm bowl of soup and support local food banks and artisans at the same time. Lunch was served from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and people who paid $20 got not only a bowl of soup, but the bowl in which it was served.

A table showing dozens of bowls donated to the event from local potters and woodworkers was quickly emptied. The event ended up raising $4,300, which will go to several food banks in the area, including Belleville’s Gleaners Food Banks and similar operations in Stirling, Wellington, Northbrook and Cloyne. It was a win for the customers, too, because the soup being served was top notch. One was provided by Loyalist culinary students and two more were provide by renowned local chef Michael Hoy.

Trent River School focus of collision prevention BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton –Quinte West OPP will be conducting focused patrols on West Street and Dixon Drive near the newly opened Trent River Public School throughout March. Data analysis shows that weekdays between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. there are a high number of collisions in the area of Trent Rover Public School, said Const. David Ludington in a statement.

R U O Y S I THIS

T E K C TI VINGS

Police presence will increase in the area with a focus on reducing collisions while enforcing the “Big 4,” speeding, seatbelts use, impaired driving and distracted driving. Focused patrol analyzes data to determine crime and traffic trends within municipalities. With the information gathered, detachments are better able to determine where and when resources should be deployed.

Charitable works of Schmidts honoured at gala event BY CHRIS MALETTE

Belleville - It was an over-the-top glamorous event Saturday at Sears Atrium as more than 300 supporters and sponsors gathered for the annual Quinte Childrens Foundation Guardian Angel Gala. Guests of honour we Guardian Angels Ken and Cynthya Schmidt. There was more than $46,000 raised in the live auction, by Boyd Sullivan, alone, and tallying carried on Sunday for the dozens of items in silent auctions spread throughout the glittering venue. It is believed close to $200,000 may be the final total for the event, said one organizer. Owner/operators of McDonald’s in Quinte West and Brighton, the Schmidts have sponsored numerous charities, including: Junior Mac’s Learn to Skate Program; purchasing a Martin 16 sailboat for Quinte Sailability; and funding for the Trenton Splash Pad. “Through work, they help fund scholarships to deserving youth,” said organizers of Saturday’s event. “Cynthya has served on the board of directors for the Central East YMCA and was past director of the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation. Ken has been extremely involved with the Children’s Foundation as a member on its board of directors and a past chairman of the board. Ken helped to guide the organization into its successful expansion in 2015 to Northumberland and Prince Edward Counties.” A highlight of the event Saturday evening was the spirited bidding on an autographed New England Patriots helmet, signed by future hall of fame quarterback Tom Brady, Rob Guardian Angels Ken and Cynthya Schmidt were the toasts of the Quinte Childrens Foundation Guardian Angel Gala Gronkowski and many more Pats. The helmet brought in Saturday evening at the Sears Atrium in Belleville. Here the Schmidts are shown with foundation executive director $8,000 alone in a last-second bid. Connie Reid, right.

OPINION

Dutch election and the immigrant backlash The Dutch political system may not have been deliberately designed to produce middle-of-the-road outcomes, but it certainly works that way in practice: many small parties, multi-party coalitions to create a Gwynne Dyer majority government, perpetual compromise. It is almost impossible to radicalize a system like this, but Geert Wilders is going to try. Wilders is the founder and leader of the Freedom Party (PVV), which currently holds only twelve seats in the 150-seat Dutch parliament. But he is aiming to make it the largest single party in the March 15 election – which, in ordinary times, would probably give it the leading role in the next coalition government. But these are not normal times, and the PVV is far from a normal party. It really only has one policy – stop the immigrants – and it is unashamedly racist and anti-Muslim in its rhetoric. Wilders recently called Dutch residents of Moroccan origin “scum”. He vows to close mosques and Islamic schools, ban the sale of the Koran, and stop all further immigrants or asylum seekers from Muslim countries. He is the Dutch Donald Trump, a silvermaned provocateur who deploys the maximum possible nastiness in his campaign talk and his frequent abusive tweets. In fact, some people argue that Trump must have taken lessons from Wilders, who has been working this side of the street for at least a decade already, but the concept of convergent evolution probably applies. Populists are almost always racists too. Which brings us to the question that is most interesting for people who don’t live in the Netherlands. Can racism and xenophobia alone, without any help from economic desperation, persuade a traditionally liberal Western electorate to cast its values aside and vote for an authoritarian bully with an anti-Muslim obsession? Trump had lots of help from economic despair. The key voters who gave him an electoral college victory last November were in the Rust Belt states: men (they were mostly men) who would usually have backed Democratic candidates, but switched to Trump because he promised to “bring back the jobs” and stop the nonwhite immigration. There was certainly a large element of racial panic in the American vote. A survey by Zack Beauchamp of the opinion polling and recent academic research on the topic, entitled

News. THE QUINTE WEST

CONNECTED TO YOUR COMMUNITY INSIDEBELLEVILLE.COM

“White Riot” and published on Vox on 20 January, documented the argument that “the real sources of the far-right’s appeal are anger over immigration and a toxic mix of racial and religious intolerance.” On the other hand, the Rust Belt states south of the Great Lakes, the former industrial heartland of the United States, are the places that have suffered the greatest job losses over the past few decades, which is why cities like Cleveland and Detroit are decaying and partly abandoned. And they are emphatically NOT major destinations for new immigrants to the US. Trump himself always ensures that he hits on both immigration and job losses in his speeches and tweets, and he is the world’s expert on the fears and prejudices of his supporters. Could we perhaps speculate that his supporters say that they are frightened about immigration and especially Mulim immigration, but that their racism is really driven in large part by their anger at the steep decline in the number of wellpaid industrial jobs? Of the six states with over a million immigrants – California, New York, Texas, Florida, Illinois and New Jersey – only Florida (where Trump won by a whisker) and Texas (which has voted Republican in every presidential election since 1980) voted for Trump. California, whose ten million immigrants make up 27 percent of the state population, voted two-to-one for Hillary Clinton. It would seem that, in the words of the old Phil Spector song, to know, know, know them is to love, love, love them (the immigrants), or at least not to fear them. Whereas Michigan, a Rust-Belt state that voted Democratic in the previous six elections and where only 6 percent of the population are immigrants, voted for Trump. The narrow Leave majority countrywide was won in depressed northern industrial cities where immigrant populations are low, and in prosperous rural areas where there are virtually no immigrants at all. So there was again racial panic at the changing ethnic face of England in areas where immigrants were largely absent, but especially in post-industrial areas where they are (wrongly) blamed for the loss of wellpaying jobs. In populist revolts elsewhere, the manifest racism and anti-immigrant sentiment that dominated in the opinion polls masked a deeper resentment about the loss of jobs. In the Netherlands, where unemployment is only 5 percent, Geert Wilders is depending on racism alone, and he is not heading for a Brexitor Trump-style victory. The latest opinion poll gives him just 15 percent of the vote.

Trump just may be going too far this time Editorial by Chris Malette Another week another whistle stop on the crazy train that is the Donald Trump presidency. This time, the president who is weekly leading many to question his intelligence and mental stability, may be about to seriously impact Canada in a way few of us here on the shores of the Great Lakes could imagine. Reports out of the U.S. say Trump and his acolytes who view environmental protection as hippy hair-braiding are about to gut the agencies that protect and improve the very health of 20 per cent of the planet’s fresh drinking water – The Great Lakes. In the first widespread exposure of the nefarious plans of the Trump administration to gut environmental protection, the Detroit Free Press published portions of a story last Thursday from the original work done by Oregonian environmental reporter Rob Davis, who obtained leaked documents that show proposed cuts across the board for the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA, of course, is now to be the Trump administration’s whipping boy, chief among the despised federal agencies that Trump and his band of climate change deniers and anti-environmentalism thugs will gut like a piñata to fund tax breaks for industry and provide massive increases in spending for the US’s already bloated military goliath. The National Association of Clean Air Agencies confirmed that an initial proposal from the White House Office of Management and Budget calls for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative to be cut from $300 million a year to about $10 million. Also, the Washington Post reported last week that the White House was looking at cutting the EPA budget from $8.2 billion to $6.1 billion and reducing staffing by 3,000 employees as it looks to increase funding for the military and slash regulations on everything from industrial inspections to the coast guard and agricultural oversight. Remember, here in the region that hugs the north shore of Lake Ontario, if the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative is targeted for such a drastic reduction, say experts, it would decimate a program that has helped pay to restore wetlands and improve water quality across the Great Lakes basin. It may be based in the U.S. and funded by federal tax dollars there, but 80 to 90 per cent of the pollution and nutrient loading in the lakes originates there. It’s the old sleeping with an elephant thing – every aspect

of environmental malfeasance on the part of the U.S. affects us here on this side of the border as the lakes know no international borders. But, here at home, we have been watching as the progress on cleaning up our own link to the Great Lakes has been nothing short of remarkable in its scope and achievements. If anyone can stomach to recall the state of the Bay of Quinte in the 1950s, ‘60s and early ‘70s they’ll remember a fetid soup of algae and dirty brown water. But, that changed a scant three decades ago and it’s all tied to American funding of clean water initiatives for the Great Lakes. In 1985, the International Joint Commission (a Canadian – American Great Lakes watchdog), under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, identified the Bay of Quinte as one of 43 Great Lakes Areas of Concern. In other words, along with such filthy water bodies as Hamilton Harbour, the bay was a pollution hot-spot. One of the main environmental issues with the Bay has always been the amount of nutrients entering it, particularly phosphorus. Phosphorus is a naturally-occurring element. In just the right amount, it’s a beneficial, life-giving nutrient for rivers, lakes, bays, and streams. On the other hand, too much phosphorus plays havoc with nature and spawns massive algae blooms. The BQRAP has reduced the amount of phosphorus entering the bay from multiple sources, both rural and urban, such as sewage treatment plants, stormwater run-off, and agricultural land practices. With the reduction in phosphorus levels, water clarity has improved due to reduced algae. Programs were begun to educate farmers and those industries around the watersheds of the hazards of nutrient overloading and how to stem the flow, to use just one example. None of that happens without money – money from Ottawa and money from Washington. States-wise, new EPA head and former Oklahoma attorney general Scott Pruitt, is expected to review any proposals for cuts before a budget plan is finalized. One can only hope that diplomacy can send a strong, clear and committed signal from Canada that we cannot, will not, stand by and watch a maniacal ideology that is contrary to healthy stewardship of the planet ruin the good works of decades of environmental progress on such a massive, fragile resource as the Great Lakes.

Docfest 2017 was a solid success onscreen and off BY JACK EVANS

Belleville - It would not be surprising if hundreds of Bellevile and area residents found themselves “doc’d out” Monday morning. With 50 documentaries ranging from full length to two minutes, at four locations in the downtown and in six screening rooms, downtown was literally crawling with hundreds of people almost the entire weekend. Organizing committee chair Holly Dewar proclaimed that this sixth annual event was an “overwhelming” success as the final film prepared to roll at the Empire Theatre Sunday evening. While the kick-off “green carpet” event was Friday evening to a sold-out crowd at the Empire, screening actually started during the noon hour, with shows at the Core Centre, Library gallery and Pinnacle Playhouse that ran through the afternoon. Filling the Core Centre to capacity with dozens turned away was the Saturday afternoon shows focusing on local content. These included “Rick of All Trades,” about a Northbrook octogenarian whose life spanned professional clowning and singing, crafts business and bus driver. The star of the show, Rick Cameron, along with many of his family and friends, was there in person to chat with the audience. Then followed a local film about women weight lifters, called “Lifted,” and a short film based on Colborne Victoria Cross winner Charles Rutherford, called “Heritage Cramahe Moment” in which an actor dressed in authentic First World War uniform related Rutherford’s distinguished record of being wounded three times, but always returning to the front, including Vimy Ridge, and ultimately single-handedly convincing an entire enemy company to surrender to him. Local filmmaker Doug Knutson presented another episode in the life of Belleville’s founding father, Capt. John Meyers, including his much-criticized lack of patriotism during the War of 1812, leading to speculation of traitorism. Local documentary filmmaker, photographer and former city hall communications staffer Aaron Bell and his wife, Angela, combined to present “Vinyl,” which included Belleville’s Sam the Record Man store and

owner Spencer Destun in the revival of vinyl recordings. Old footage enhanced author Peggy Leavey’s narration of the Trenton Film Street facility called “Hollywood of the North,” and Aaron Bell was featured again in “My Belleville,” a collection of testimonials from dozens of citizens, including Belleville News editor Chris Malette, who described the city’s residents as “deeply involved in all aspects of their community.” Local cameraman Gerry Fraiberg sparkled in his 45-minute documentary about prominent resident and past Rotary Club president John Cairns, who lost his right leg and arm in a train accident and went on to a successful career as a mo- Filmmaker Douglas Knutson, dressed as Capt.

to be determined. The three projects denied for matched funding through the Canada 150 Fund include upgrades to the Trenton Town Hall – 1861, Centennial Park hardball field lighting and a waterfront trail expansion through marina property. Upgrades to the Batawa Community Centre kitchen and parking lot were also denied through the Ontario 150 Fund. Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison said the plan has always been to have lights, it’s just a matter of when and he reiterated his top priority is the trail expansion plan. Many councillors expressed their support for the lighting of the diamond. “It is a plan, we will be putting lights up, it’s a question of when can we make it happen,” said Councillor Don Kuntze. “There is nobody around this table that isn’t 100 per cent behind getting it finished, we were very disappointed when all of those plans we had to finish some of these projects came to a sudden halt,” said Councillor Sally Freeman. “We would do all of these things without batting an eyelash I mean that’s what it all about is the kids,” she said. “We did not say it’s not important, that was never ever said, we certainly do want this to happen for all the reasons you have stated.” Council will make the decision this month. David Clazie, director of corporate and financial services, will be bringing a report back to council during the 2017 operating budget deliberations in March, outlining the amount of funds available. Council will then make a decision on what project or projects they want to support funding in 2017. The conduit has not installed yet for the diamond but Chris Angelo, director of public works, said the diamond has been designed so the conduit can go on the outside of the fence and not affect the playing field at all.

Trenton – When planning for a potential dialysis clinic at Trenton hospital, supporters must think decades into the future. The proposed dialysis clinic for Trenton Memorial Hospital (TMH) is currently going through the provincial process to determine the fate of having dialysis at TMH.

peting in the female 83-kilo category. Quinte Saints’ Caleb Goodfellow wrestled with a broken toe in a heavyweight division, placing sixth in the male 95-kilo division. In the final overall team standings, Trenton finished in the top-15 in the girls group at 11th.

Taryn McLachlan of Trenton High School, in black, is shown going for her third podium appearance and was successful with a third place finish over Jasmin Tessier, of Sudbury, shown here grappling with McLachlan.

Trenton Curling Club receives $20,000 Ontario 150 grant

Chat

BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton – The city of Quinte West may have missed out on Ontario 150 funding, but the Trenton Curling Club is ready to install new lighting with the $20,200 it has received from the fund. The Canada 150 Community Capital Program grant will be used to install energy efficient LED lighting throughout the club, reducing hydro costs and allowing the club to move forward in other energy saving initiatives. Catherine Holmes, president of the Trenton Curling Club, said it’s terrific news. “A positive beginning for 2017,” she said. “The not-for-profit club depends on and receives great support from its members volunteering in numerous capacities. Trenton Curling Club is a not-for-profit sports club that supports physical activities through regular curling leagues that operate six to

seven days a week. “This grant recognizes both the history of the Trenton Curling Club and looks ahead to its successful future,” said MPP for Northumberland-Quinte West Lou Rinaldi. “This funding will allow the club to reduce their costs in a very progressive way with energy saving initiatives going forward.” The club also works with local schools, offering curling instruction by volunteers and it subsidizes the Little Rocks/Junior program to help ensure that future curlers have a chance to get involved and develop in the sport. The Ontario 150 grant is administered by the Ontario Trillium Foundation and requires organizations to match a percentage of the grant awarded. The grants will help non-profit organizations, municipalities and indigenous communities to renovate, repair and retrofit existing community and cultural infrastructure.

You can count your calories when eating out – it’s law BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – Quick: which has more calories, a Boston cream doughnut or an apple fritter? An apple fritter at Tim Hortons contains 310 calories, so if you’re trying to slim down, you may want to try the Boston cream, with just 220 calories. This information is conveniently available to consumers after new Ontario legislation that requires most food premises to post calorie counts on regular menu items. It came into effect at the start of the year. It’s legislation that public health officials look forward to enforcing, as it’s designed to help people make healthy choices. The topic generated discussion at a Hastings Prince Edward Public Health board meeting on Wednesday, March 1, when program managers Roberto Almeida and Jillian Gumbley gave a presentation on healthy menu labelling legislation. Although HPEPH food inspectors aren’t out enforcing the legislation yet, they soon will be, Almeida said. “They’ll have to study hard before they go out, because this is very technical,” he said. “It’s kind of complicated, but we’ll work through it.” The legislation forces food premises with 20 or more menu times to post the calorie counts on regular menu items. This applies, obviously, to restaurants and fast food chains. Most big franchises, including Tim Hortons, are already complying. But, the legislation gets more complicated when it comes to dealing with other businesses, such as grocery stores or food trucks. For instance, Almeida said, a grocery store that sells meat at a deli would not necessarily have to post calorie contents. However, if that deli is selling take out sandwiches it would. There are also exemptions to the rule – made so not to put a financial strain on small businesses that can’t afford to constantly reprint menus. For instance, a food premises that operates for less than 60 days of the calendar year is exempt from the rule. This would free up a

food truck that shows up only at special summer events. Food premises within schools, day care or correctional facilities are also exempt, as they’re already bound by different legislation that requires them to offer healthy choices. The issue got board members talking, with many agreeing that the legislation is a good idea. The board also passed a motion to write to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care to seek more clarity on why schools are exempt from the legislation. Almeida said Public Health staff have already participated in Ministry-led webinars to train staff on how the legislation should be enforced. In the time between now and when staff are ready to enforce the bylaw, citizens can file complaints to the health unit if they see a food premise that’s not complying. Those complaints will be forwarded to Ministry authorities for now. Right now, the health unit and the Ministry are working on education campaigns, to ensure food premise owners and the public understand the legislation. “We, as health units, are supposed to follow up and support that public education campaign however we see fit,” Almeida said. FACTBOX Ontario’s Healthy Menu Choices Act, passed in 2015 and brought into effect at the start of 2017, was born out of concern over overweight and obesity rates. Nearly one-third of Canadian children were overweight or obese in 2009-2011 and about 30 per cent of children were overweight or obese. The Act asks food premises to post the following message by their menus. “Adults and youth (ages 13 and over) need an average of 2,000 calories a day and children (ages 4 to 12) need an average of 1,500 calories a day. However, individual needs may vary. Full details on the legislation is available at https://www.ontario.ca/ laws/regulation/r16050?_ga=1.105 Calories, such as these on menu items at Tim Hortons drive-thru, are on full display for customers to make informed dining choices. 802243.1080976411.1454609642 Chris Malette/Metroland

Rural residents could see 40-50% hydro rate cut: Rinaldi

MPP Lou Rinaldi. John Campbell/Metroland

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Northumberland-Quinte West – Residents will begin paying 25 per cent less for their hydro this June as the provincial government responds to persistent criticism over the high cost of electricity. The reduction announced last

week includes the eight per cent the government introduced in January when it began issuing rebates for provincial sales tax on hydro bills, but the overall savings will be even larger depending on where you live, MPP Lou Rinaldi said.

“Every household, every small mom-and-pop business, every agricultural account will receive a minimum 25 per cent (reduction),” he said, but those “in rural areas with very low density, which is a good chunk of our neighbourhood ... will see additional

relief – it could be up to 40 to 50 per cent.” The “big difference is in the delivery charge” which his government is “smoothing out” so that it will be “roughly the same” throughout Ontario, Rinaldi said. The Liberal MP, who lives in a home with electric heat in a low density area east of Brighton, said he’s currently paying a delivery charge “probably three times higher than someone who lives in an urban area.” His government is also doubling the amount of relief it provides people with low incomes who need help paying their hydro bills. A single person earning below $22,000, for example, will receive $100 a month, not $50, when the different initiatives take effect. The money to pay for that will come out of general revenues. “We figure social programs should not be subsidized by ratepayers,” Rinaldi said. The government is also extending the length of time it will take to pay off the debt it incurred upgrading the energy system and to meet commitments it made with long-term green energy contracts that are costing it more than the revenue they generate. The repayment schedule will be stretched from 20 years to 30

years and will cost an extra $1.4 billion a year maximum in interest payments. “It’s just like refinancing your mortgage,” Rinaldi said. Hydro bills will be less -- with increases tied to the rate of inflation – “but we are going to pay more in the long run,” he acknowledged. “What we’re saying is why should today’s generation absorb the whole burden of energy supply?” By spreading out the costs over the actual lifespan of the infrastructure “everybody will pay their fair share for the time they are a customer,” Rinaldi said. His government has spent a considerable amount rebuilding the system while shutting down coal-fired power plants to improve air quality in Ontario, which he said made it difficult to keep hydro bills from rising – roughly double what they were a decade ago. “If it was easy it would have been done a long time ago,” said Rinaldi, who intimated the Liberals are not yet done. “This is something that is so important we’re still not finished,” he said. “We’re going to keep on looking for ways to improve the system, improve the rates ... If there are other opportunities we will follow them through whenever that might be.”

Reducing hydro rates seen as “a small step” toward long-term solution

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Water fountains good. Water bottles bad Dear Editor, During a recent visit to the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre, I was most impressed to see the new signs attached to the hydration stations. Excellent! They explain the numerous reasons why we should all be using reusable water bottles rather than the planet-destroying plastic bottles. Each sign contains different information. A digital counter attached to the water station is updated each time someone refills their reusable bottle showing how many plastic bottles have been saved at that particular station. A novel,

but very effective awareness tool. All visitors to the QSWC should make a point of reading the signs. The unnecessary use of single-use plastic water bottles is a huge worldwide problem that must be addressed. The Quinte Chapter of Council of Canadians congratulates the City of Belleville, and in particular the Green Task Force, for taking such positive action in this regard. May this awareness and willingness to act spread across our community. Jennifer Sturgeon Council of Canadians Quinte

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Trent Hills – Jeff Hamilton, chair of Trent Hills and District Chamber of Commerce and plant manager of Dart Cup in Campbellford, said he’s “pleased” Premier Kathleen Wynne’s government “has finally decided to address” the issue of “spiralling hydro rates.” However, his group and the Ontario Chamber of Commerce will still push for change and insist the government “continue to look at ways to put a permanent cost reduction in place to ensure long-term sustainability,” he said. Re-amortizing Hydro One’s debt over a longer period of time won’t alleviate the concerns of businesses which include hydro rates that remain “a barrier for growth,” Hamilton said. “We need to get to the root causes of why we got to where we are today.” Hydro rates have a “severe effect on our costs” which can’t be passed on entirely to customers in the price of its finished goods, he said. Among the new measures announced last week that will see residential hydro bills cut by 25 per cent this summer was an expansion of the Industrial Conservation Initiative program. “There were special incentives for industry before but the threshold for the amount of usage was quite high,” MPP Lou Rinaldi said. The threshold is being lowered from 1 mW to 500 kW to target small manufacturing and industrial consumers. “The majority of businesses should qualify for some kind of reduction and that’s based on time of use,” as well as “other caveats,” Rinaldi said. Hamilton estimated the hydro bill at Dart’s Campbellford plant has increased by 20 to 30 per cent. There are other places in North America that “make things attractive to do business,” he noted.

“There are no plans at this time for Dart to go anywhere,” having been in the community for more than 30 years, but the reality is that while it “might be able to ... weather the storm, a lot of businesses can’t.” The provincial government “recognized that Ontario has had enough” by reducing hydro rates even further but it “was a small step,” Hamilton said. “We want to see long-term sustainability.” Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan, who’s been a fierce critic of the government’s handling of the Hydro One portfolio, said its latest move “may perhaps be too little too late” as the Liberals prepare for next year’s election. Their motivation was “purely political, not that it wasn’t also the right thing to do,” he said. “If it wasn’t so blatantly clear that Ontarians are pissed right off it never would have happened because this government has been that arrogant ... We have told them time and time again this is not affordable, it’s not reasonable.” Macmillan cited “a list of boondoggles the last decade,” including the decision to sell off 60 per cent of Hydro One to pay down debt and to fund infrastructure projects. “When a corporation starts to sell off its assets off the end is near. What do you do for an encore?” he said, “especially when its a successful revenue generator. Now you’ve lost that income as well.” Rinaldi acknowledged the challenges being faced by companies as well as their “struggles” but he noted “Ontario is still the number one place (in Canada) for foreign investments” and has the lowest industrial and commercial taxes in the country. “When you look at the big picture, things are not all that drastic,” he said, adding: “Can we do better? Absolutely.

Behind the Camera: In front of a bull moose Two of North America’s most renowned outdoor documentary filmmakers and photographers also call Centre Hastings home and will share their latest stories in an upcoming speaker series presentation. On March 23 in Belleville, John and Janet Foster present ‘Behind the Camera: Travels with John and Janet,’ the finale in the Winter Speaker Series hosted by the Hastings Stewardship Council. The filming assignments of the Fosters for CBC, TVOntario, and the Discovery Channel have taken them all over Canada. Through their films and slide shows they continue to share their own passion for Canada’s wild places and the diversity of our wildlife. In the late 1960s, John and

Janet’s passion for canoeing and nature photography began in Algonquin Park, a place still close to their hearts. Canoeing deep into the park allows these explorers to film wildlife of all kinds in their natural habitat. This will be a personal show illustrating the Fosters’ evolution as canoeists and filmmakers. Those who attend the evening presentation will get to see images of the allure of Georgian Bay, Killarney, and the Bruce Peninsula with their stunning landscapes and waterscapes - among the best places in Canada for hiking and canoeing. Share a trip to Nova Scotia to witness spectacular shorebird migrations around the Bay of Fundy, and to the Annapolis Valley for the spectacle of wintering Bald Eagles.

The themes of this show are a love of canoeing and nature photography, and “knowing when to be in the right place, at the right time.” Nature enthusiasts, travelers and photography /film lovers, say organizers, will be fascinated with the professional images and the flow of technical expertise. Behind the Camera: Travels with John and Janet on Thursday, March 23 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Gerry Masterson Community Hall (Thurlow Hall), 516 Harmony Rd. in Belleville. An entrance fee of $5 (or a donation) will help cover costs; children are free. For more information, contact Matt Caruana at 613-391-9034 or info@ hastingsstewardship.ca.

Despite Wynne’s move, hydro situation still a mess says Smith BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville -- The Ontario government has announced plans to reduce residential and small business hydro rates by 17 to 25 per cent, but the move won’t solve the bigger problem of soaring costs and will hurt customers more in the long run, says Prince Edward-Hastings’s Member of Provincial Parliament. “It’s a desperate move by a desperate premiere and a desperate government,” said Todd Smith, who also serves at the Progressive Conservative’s energy critic. In an interview with the Belleville News on Friday, March 3 -- one of dozens he participated in with media across the province following Thursday’s announcement -- Smith urged Ontarians not to be fooled by the news. The Progressive Conserva-

tives have long argued that high hydro rates are a result of years of Liberal mismanagement on the energy file. The party is telling Ontarians that, if elected in June of 2018, the PCs will propose eliminating the Green Energy Act, which they say has awarded too many unnecessary renewable energy hydro contracts. Smith said his party’s in favour of cancelling planned contracts for the future and renegotiating ones that exist. Liberal premiere Kathleen Wynne, whose popularity is plummeting in polls, said the plan involves re-financing a plan to pay for hydro assets that will require future generations to pay more costs. She told reporters “it’s fairer, because it doesn’t ask this generation of hydro customers alone to pay the freight for everyone before and after.” Smith said that solution is ir-

responsible. “Instead of tackling the root cause, they’ve decided to stretch out the cost that electricity customers will have to pay for an extra 10 years. Our kids and our grandkids are going to be paying for the electricity we’re using today.” Because the Liberals have a majority government, the plan does not require support from the PCs or the NDP to pass. Smith said he’s happy that hydro customer who are struggling to pay bills will get some relief, but said “it’s not the fix we need.” He believes the move is solely to appease voter anger, leading up to the election next June, when rising hydro rates are expected to be a major issue. Smith has not presented any statement on how his Tories would provide the so-called fix to which he refers, however.

ticularly beautiful service, is expected to draw another capacity crowd. The concerts only last about an hour plus an apres-concert reception with admission based on what one can pay. There will be opportunities for congregational singing on favourite hymns, plus the traditional chants and canticles associated with the service, sung by the guest choir, which, formed in 1891 is now one of the handful of all-male church choirs remaining in North America. Belleville’s own Christ Church enjoyed a strong reputation with its all-male choir for many decades, especially in the 1980s, but that, too, has become a mixed choir. The Latreilles admit the programs they offer are often hard core classical music, but they contend they remain the peak of beauty when it comes to music. Capacity audiences for recent concerts indicate that a large number International of city and area music lovers share their enthusiasm.

Tickets are $20 to include the supper or $15 if you’ve stuffed yourself beforehand and only have room for the music, which would be a shame indeed, say organizers. Reservations are required so book online now at oldchurch.ca or call (613) 848-1411.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

A history lesson on Catholic school funding Re: Why is there duality in school funding? For the answer to that question the writer needs to study the history of Canada, go back before the BNA, the development of the Catholic education system and the protestant system which followed much later. Canadians tend to overlook the fact that the original inhabitants of this country were the Indians who they had their own beliefs which was neither Catholic nor Protestant. It was a French explorer by the name of Jacques

Cartier who discovered this land in the 1500s. He was followed by a succession of discoverers and most notably by Samuel de Champlain who discovered “New France” in the early 1600s and founded what is now Quebec City. Eventually all this “it’s mine” and no its not “it’s mine” led to the BNA Act which was passed to set the legal ground rules for Canada and divvy up the powers between the provinces and the federal government. Today taxpayers have a choice of either

supporting the public school system or the catholic school system but they don’t support both. The Hasting and Prince Edward District School Board and the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board are supported by a portion of the taxes collected by their respective municipalities which then goes to support either one or the other of those school boards. Something else that tax dollars support are our libraries through the Ontario government’s Ministry of Tourism, Culture and



Sport. From their website “A strong library system is the cornerstone of a strong community. It contributes to education, literacy and life-long learning in Ontario communities. Municipal bylaws create Ontario’s public libraries and public library boards govern them.” I enjoy my local newspaper but I have found the best place to get an answer to a question is at the local library where staff is extremely helpful in locating reference material for me to find an answer to the question. Libraries

also provide access to the Internet and finally there is always Wikipedia. However the present school system may eventually change, as according to the Star apparently “Ontario’s Catholic elementary schools are quietly opening their doors to students of all faiths, blurring the lines even more between the Catholic and public systems and raising questions about the roles — and need — for both.” Mary Culloden Belleville

BY SUE DICKENS

Belleville — Betty Cornelius, founder of CANGRANDS Kinship National Support, has been given the news she is one of 10 recipients of the Women of Worth Award offered annually by L’Oreal Paris. “This award recognizes women who are making an extraordinary difference in the world,” she said. “I am being honoured for my 24 years of volunteer service to kinship families across Canada.” Cornelius’s charity CANGRANDS will receive a $10,000 grant from L’Oréal Paris. “I'm thrilled about this amazing recognition and the grant, which is so helpful for kinship support,” said Cornelius. She and the nine other recipients also have the chance to win another $10,000 with an online voting process. Getting the word out, Cornelius has asked supporters to vote online daily for CANGRANDS at www.womenofworth.ca, a process that continues until 11:59 p.m. on March 6. “I was nominated by my friend Catharine Brazeau-Cornell from Hamilton, a grandmother who is raising a five-year-old and I’ve been helping her,” she commented. Cornelius has also been nominated for Hidden Heroes: Faces of Quinte. “But this is the first time I have won something big,” she said with excitement. “It’s always an honour to be nominated, and

if it gets us a bit of press coverage, all the better because it really helps spread the word about the organization.” Cornelius said if she wins the second $10,000, she would like to host a special camp. “If I had a magic wand I would do a camp where grandparents and grandchildren go to get for a break from their daily life,” she commented. Cornelius did host a camp for 13 years but “then I lost the sponsor,” so there has not been a camp for the past three years. “If I can win another $10,000, then for $20,000 I could look at doing a weekend camp.” Cornelius is also currently looking into setting up a “1-800-warmline,” for telephone calls, which volunteers could take turns answering as she is finding the inquiries and need for support from grandparents growing at a phenomenal rate. In Belleville alone she estimates there are “possibly 3,000 grandparents raising their grandkids ... and we are helping 150.” As for the contest, Cornelius is heading to Toronto this week “on their dime,” for a meet and greet and press coverage and on Wednesday, March 8 the presentation takes place. To contact Betty Cornelius, call 613-3344246 or email: grandma@cangrands.com for more information.

The Good Earth Insurance – a subject that should be top of mind

Dan Clost Gentle Reader, some of you might think that I go on about this a titch too often. I ask you to consider that I view myself as a professional in the horticultural industrynot an expert- and through the simple fact of where my workplace is, I hear and see the news and, yes, the gossip, of our trade. I don’t believe we’ve sunk to the same depth of litigation as our southern

neighbours but the horror stories are out there. So, although this is a gardening column, we can’t always keep stuffing our snoots into fragrant blooms and call that gardening. Not all fragrances are pleasant. It is so easy to get caught up in the visioning that you forget to see some of the practicalities. Many folks, especially those of you who are legitimately capable when it comes to planning out a renovation, take on the mantle of general contractor, and hire various companies to handle the work as necessary. That is all well and good, but did you check with your home insurance provider? Oh, and did you remember to purchase General Liability Insurance and register with the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB)? Do you realize that if you hire ABK Landscaping (an uninsured fictitious company), you are responsible for all of their activities including their work, damages to others, and any

health claims ABK’s employees might file against you? Recently, it was my distinct pleasure to have spent some time as an instructor in the current Horticultural Apprenticeship Course. A portion of the course covered some of the regulations, acts and by-laws by which their landscape businesses must operate. There are reasons for these compliance requirements and all professional companies will be on board with them. The list is more than impressive, it is staggering. One business owner quipped that he needs two trucks at every job site; one for tools and workers and the second transports the paperwork. However, that’s their problem not yours- unless you make it so, however unintentionally. GR, make sure you do your homework before you hire someone to work on your property, in whatever capacity. Here are some considerations taken from the Canada

Mortgage and Housing Corporation Fact Sheet- Hiring A Contractor. You want to find out as much as you can, so ask a lot of questions, such as: How long have you been in business? What work are you, or your subcontractors, licensed to do, e.g., electrical, plumbing? What kind of work do you specialize in? Have you done a similar job before? Will you use your own crew for the work or will you subcontract all or part of the job? How would you handle a specific problem related to this project (e.g., water flow)? How will you deal with the health and energy efficiency aspects of the job?

How and when do you clean up, particularly fine dust? What work schedule will you follow? What kind of warranty do you offer and what does it cover? Do you carry workers’ compensation and liability insurance? Will you provide a written contract? Will you take out all required permits (e.g., building, plumbing, electrical)? You won’t offend reputable firms with questions. If the contractor plans to do the whole job alone, make sure he or she has all the necessary skills and qualifications. Most importantly, be sure you can get along with the contractor. You want a

about the “social cleansing” that took place in an attempt to rid Cambodia of its urban and educated classes and create “a pure, self-sufficient peasant society” where the survivors would live in the countryside and basically work themselves to death. All others were rounded up as “enemies”, imprisoned, tortured, made to confess to made-up crimes, and then executed (about 2 million of them!). I visited the former school that was converted into the Tuol Sleng Prison and used as the main interro-

gation centre of the Khmer Rouge. It’s now kept open as the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, a sobering memorial to this gruesome history. I saw some of the instruments of torture that were used there and the black and white portraits on the walls of many of the former prisoners. I learned how most of the inmates/victims ended up dead and were then trucked to nearby “killing fields” and buried in mass graves. I visited a killing field and a nearby monumental glass stupa, where thousands of human skulls were displayed, and I found this so disturbing and horrifying that I didn’t even want to take photos of this sight to include with this article. I also met one of the few survivors of the Tuol Sleng Prison, Chum Mey, and he now spends much of his time at this genocide museum, telling visitors about the horrors of the past, for he believes that it’s important to remember this civil war. He’s even told his story in a book entitled “Survivor”, and I now have a copy of it. He tells of confessing to a ridiculous series of crimes after being tortured, and he admits that he “was ready to say anything to stop the pain.” He also admits that it was only his skill as a mechanic that kept him alive, for the Khmer Rouge used him to do repairs. However, he now, after all these years, identifies with his torturers rather than condemns them. He says that “I consider them victims like me because they had to follow other people’s orders. How can I say I would have behaved differently? Would I have had the strength to refuse to kill, if the penalty was my own death?” Youk Chhang, the Director of the Documentation Centre of Cambodia, has stated that “a society cannot know itself if it does not have an accurate memory of its own history”. Therefore, it’s very important to preserve and remember the past. I found this historic tour both educational and disturbing – yet anoth-

er example of a common theme that I so often talked about in my literature classes, of “humans’ inhumanity to other humans”. I was also rather shocked at discovering my lack of knowledge about this entire historic event, for most of my remembrance of this time period in Asia was about the Vietnam War, not the details of this horrific event in Cambodia. But even more effective than all of the above, for me, was the personal story that I heard from my guide, Sky, for he recounted his growing up during this horrific time in his country. He was just a youngster when he was separated from his family and had to hide in the jungle. Several of his siblings died during the conflict, including a brother who literally starved to death. Sky himself survived by eating grass “like a cow” - and lots of snakes and insects. He remembers being tortured with fire ants and witnessing the deaths of many children. However, he made it, as he repeated over and over, through that horrible “three years, eight months, and 20 days”, and he was finally able to start school (at the age of 14). He was one of the “lucky” ones. As we rode on our tour bus, it was almost as if Sky needed to tell us his story, and we seemed to be all held spellbound, as if in a trance, as he shared his past with us. Indeed, this personal experience was the most effective. I usually write travel pieces about wonderful places that I’ve visited, and today’s story of torture and death doesn’t fit. However, historically significant destinations are important to many travelers, so I decided to write about this. In fact, today’s article reminds me of the time that I visited a German concentration camp (Dachau) many years ago, for it’s sometimes important to remember and reflect on these past atrocities. As the philosopher, essayist, and novelist George Santayana once stated, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” For More Information: www. vikingrivercruises.com; www.historyplace.com/worldhistory/genocide/ pol-pot.htm Travel and accommodations provided by Viking River Cruises

Westben’s public rehearsal features Joe Callahan Trio Campbellford — The Joe Callahan Trio will be hosting a public rehearsal at the Clock Tower Cultural Centre on Thursday, March 9 as an extension of Westben’s popular monthly song circle. “It will not be a regular song circle, but there will be a chance to ask questions and if time allows, we'll jam with participants,” Callahan told the Trent Hills News. The event begins at 6:30 p.m. “We want to spread the word on this project at the Clock Tower,” he added. Westben’s community engagement coordinator Nancy Coulter noted, “The rehearsal event will offer the opportunity to ask questions, and if time allows, a jam session.” Westben’s monthly song circle is designed for musicians of all types and experience levels who are asked to bring their instrument, voice and favourite songs “to share in a supportive and fun environment.” Callahan, a longtime well known Quinte area musician, has been offering song circles at the Clock Tower Cultural Centre since October 2016. The circles offer a place for people developing their musical abilities in a focused way, where they can choose to play or listen and solicit feedback on their progress from others in the circle. Song circles at the Clock Tower with Callahan are held the second Thursday of the month at 6:30 p.m. and are open to all ages.

The Joe Callahan Trio will be making another appearance at the Clock Tower; this time they will be opening later this month for nationally recognized Canadian blues singer-song writer Rick Fines on March 31 at 8 p.m. It’s all part of the Loyal Blues Fellowship series of concerts called “Blues in Small Places,” which is being held in conjunction with its very popular Blues in the Schools (BITS) program as part of its 10 year anniversary. The Loyal Blues Fellowship Inc. is a not-for profit group of community members that supports the development of the Blues in the Schools program and their objective is to bring the blues to the Quinte area on an ongoing basis. In fact, Fines has been to Kent Public School in the past where he held a workshop with the students. The BITS program has seen musicians come to classes at schools throughout this area not just in Belleville but also in Campbellford, Warkworth, Frankford, Havelock, Madoc, Picton, Trenton, etc. “The workshop at the Clock Tower is the first of its kind at the facility and hopes are that the song circles will grow in attendance and be a regular part of Campbellford’s cultural activities,” said Coulter. For more information, contact Callahan at joecallahan48@gmail. com or call the Westben box office at 705-653-5508. Joe Callahan started playing music professionally at the age of 13

as a singer and drummer covering Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Beatles, and the BeeGees in the mid-sixties and continued for 10 years, while in the process, supporting his education and supplementing his income. Today as a singer-songwriter and guitar player, he performs often but irregularly at events that have social justice underpinnings. He plays regularly with Quinte area musicians at jams he co-hosts with Peggy Voigt and other Loyal Blues Fellowship musicians. He does a limited number of performances a year as a single and once or twice a year with the Loyal Blues Band where fun and improvisation supersede anything suggesting formulaic arrangements.

Dancing With Stars moves to Wellington

BY JACK EVANS

It was an excited crowd at Belleville’s downtown Capers Friday evening as the lineup for this year’s Dancing With the Stars competition was announced. Volunteer & Information Quinte director Brenda Snider noted that this marks the 10th anniversary of the hugely successful fund raising project, “Our largest fund raiser of the year,” she said, making it of extra significance. She also announced that with construction under way in the Sports and Wellness Centre, this year’s event will be held in the Essroc Centre at Wellington. “We’ve checked out this location and it is excellent for our event,” she said, “and they are so

welcoming.” She also noted that many competitors in former years have re-entered the lists. The winners of last year’s event, Ryan Wiliams and Jennifer Keiver, will open the show, followed by nine competing teams. The intermission will include a performance by the Trenton-based Liz Lougheed-Brown company plus a couple of songs by Jeanette Arsenault. Entries for the competition are based on individual entries, not teams, Snider explained. The organizers pair these up to match interests in dance style and music and more. Each team is assigned an individual coach-trainer, who advises on music, costume and dance type. “Be sure to listen to your trainer,” Snider advised several times. Main news of the evening was the lineup for this year’s competition, to be held Friday, June 9, starting at 7:30 p.m. in the Essroc Centre. They are: Gordana Vranic and Darek Wierzbicki, plus coach Kristie Parks; Cassandra Bonn and Andy Caletti, and coach, Sheri Thompson of the Ireland School of Dance; Lauren Franz-Reid and Chris Crawford with Alicia Sewell, Astounding Heights Dance Academy; Jennie Reilly and Tim Durkin plus Lisa Sinclair; Caroline Grainger and Todd Bennett with “France” (For the Love of Dance;) Meredith Leadbeater and Metroland Media’s Michael Kelly with Caroline Smith; Christine Wilkinson and Richard Floyd, and coach Liz Loughheed-Brown of Dance With Miss Liz; Lisa Vance and Shane Hoskin with Tawny Jackson (Tawny’s School of Dance;) finally Belleville Coun. Kelly McCaw and Brett Davis with Daryl Geesey (A Step Ahead Dance.) Tickets in advance are $20, $25 at the door, with reserved tables at $250 for six persons.
