Zoo opens March Break for kids and parents

By David Gibb

News - Trenton - Tarantulas, alligators, snakes and kangaroos were among the exotic band of animals that invaded the Ramada Inn in Trenton this past weekend. Zookeepers from Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo were on hand to launch March Break 2015 with a bang, as hundreds of area children flocked to see–and touch–12 species of exciting wildlife. The Ramada’s ballroom was filled to capacity, as families lined the hallway–and the stairway–to enjoy the interactive experience offered by the Ottawa zoo’s travelling show. “Captain� Kyle Lawrie, the operations manager for the travelling exhibits, was swarmed by dozens of kids as he entered the room with a reticulated giant python wrapped around his neck. But, despite the snake’s popularity, it actually wasn’t the star of the show. That achievement belongs to Silas the tarantula. “It’s been our number one with both kids and their parents for quite a while now,� explains Zookeeper Sean Hemmaway keeps a tight grip on Ali the American Alligator as kids gather around to stroke its spiky skin.

Be careful around water during spring

YOU R INDEPENDENT GROCER

News - Quinte Conservation is urging all parents and caregivers to ensure that children do not play along local waterways. Parents and guardians are urged to keep children off the ice and away from the water. Stream banks may be slippery and treacherous. Water flows and currents may be strong. Dams and other water control structures should be avoided at all times. A Water Safety Statement indicates that high flows, unsafe banks, melting ice or other factors could be dangerous for users such as anglers, boaters, swimmers, children or pets. Flooding is not expected. March Break is a great time for children to step into nature and spend more time outdoors. However, spring also brings all the dangers associated with cold, fast-flowing water. Quinte Conservation Communications Manager Jennifer MayAnderson warns, “As snow and ice begin to melt, local waterways including lakes, rivers, streams and drains begin to fill up with cold, often fast-moving water. This year we have had more ice cover than normal on our local river systems. River ice is often less stable than lake ice. Ice conditions can change rapidly on rivers. We

are urging the public to use extreme care and caution on all ice in local waterways.â€? May-Anderson explains, “Children are often interested in exploring rushing streams and thawing ponds during the warmer days of spring. Strong spring currents, unstable ice cover and slippery riverbanks can be a real danger to them. That’s why we have created an early spring water safety video for parents and caregivers available on our YouTube channel. The video explains the dangers that come at this time of year and we encourage adults to watch the video and then talk about spring water safety with the children in their lives.â€? May-Anderson adds that spring water safety activity sheets are available for download from the Quinte Conservation website <www.quinteconservation.ca>. There are activity sheets appropriate for children from Kindergarten to Grade 6. The awareness building exercises include colouring sheets, crossword puzzles, word searches and more. People can visit Quinte Conservation’s website <www.quinteconservation.ca> and follow the link to YouTube to be directed to the spring water safety video.

Council supports regional tourism dollars

News - Quinte West - Council supports spending money to make money in regional tourism promotion. Ryan Williams representing Bay of Quinte tourism said in order for the region to prosper it must invest with the other eight municipalities involved. “We can’t see cuts to funding,” he said. “It would deflate our progress.” He said last year they spent $77,000 on promotions, a low cost compared to other areas. Rob MacIntosh, chair of the tourism committee, said he felt the city was already paying enough for what they get in promoting Quinte West. “I don’t agree we should put in dollars to help other municipalities spend tourism dollars in their area,” he said. He felt that if the other municipalities are not pitching in too, it doesn’t make sense. Williams said they get back six to one in a partnership with the region. “I guarantee we spend the money well,” he said. “We are here to promote everyone.” Sally Freeman supported the idea of regional promotion. As a past member of the tourism committee, she was impressed that organizations like the Air Force Museum and Batawa Ski Hill have seen their revenue climb because of this regional group. Even events put on by the Quinte West Chamber of

they want. “It does hold the feet to the fire,” he said. Jim Harrison said he was concerned they get their money’s worth. He wanted to make sure people see the videos and get to know what is available in Quinte West. He said the marina is opening on June 20 and they want to attract people to the region. Sally Freeman said it is the role of committee members to push hard to make sure there are benefits to Quinte West.

Fred Kuypers said there was very little about Quinte West in their promotional video. He wanted to see the Air Force Museum, fishing derby, the memorial and seven or eight hotspots in the city. Williams said there will be a new one in April and they also do publications and attend home shows. Rob MacIntosh asked why Quinte West is putting in the majority of the money, second highest of the municipalities next to Belleville. “We want

to see the others put in money too,” he said. “We’ve got to see them come on board or it’s not fair.” Sally Freeman asked to suspend the rules and vote for the support of the regional promotion at $1.30 per capita for Bay of Quinte Tourism and 75 cents per capita for Bay of Quinte Living. In a recorded vote, the majority voted to support it, with only three voting against, Armstrong, DeWitt and MacIntosh.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Fred Kuypers and Michael Kotsovos have different views on the value of regional tourism. Photo: Kate Everson

Commerce, like Savour, saw increased popularity. “Tourism is economic development,” she added. “People want to live here.” Karen Sharpe said she supports the same level of funding as before. Al DeWitt said they all want Quinte West to grow.

Mike Kotsovos also felt they should continue to support it. David McCue asked how they can make sure they get what they pay for. Williams said they have members on the committee. There is also a Memorandum of Understanding and a ten per cent holdback until they get what

Cutting at QHC and a new Campbellford hospital?

Dear Editor, I read the page 2 article by Sue Dickens with interest and surprise. Ontario appears to me, to be in a funding squeeze for hospitals in particular, and OHIP in general. In both your paper and Community Press

this week, there are articles about cutbacks. So, it seems at odds to me that on the one hand, CMH is thinking about spending $132 million on a brand new hospital (where a sufficiently functional one already exists) and, on the other hand,

nearby communities in the same LHIN are losing nursing positions, so they can balance their already threatened budgets. What gives? Gary Hoag, Warkworth

OPINION

How long will the oil stay cheap?

Editorial - I’m in Alberta, the province that produces most of Canada’s oil, and there’s only one question on everybody’s lips. How long will the oil price stay down? It has fallen by more than half in the past nine months. West Texas Intermediate is $48 per barrel today and further Gwynne Dyer falls are predicted for the coming weeks. This hits jobs and government revenues hard in big oil-producing centres like Alberta, Texas and the British North Sea, but its effects reach farther than that. Clean energy producers are seeing demand for their solar panels and windmills drop as oil gets more competitive. Electric cars, which were expected to make a major market breakthrough this year, are losing out to traditional gas-guzzlers that are now cheap to run again. Countries that have become too dependent on oil revenues are in deep trouble, like Russia (where the rouble has lost half its value in six months) and Venezuela. Countries like India, which imports most of its oil, are getting a big economic boost from the lower oil price. So how long this goes on matters to a great many people. The answer may lie in two key numbers. Saudi Arabia has $900 billion in cash reserves, so it can afford to keep the oil price low for at least a couple of years. The frackers who have added four million barrels/day to U.S. oil production in the past five years (and effectively flooded the market) already owe an estimated $160 billion to the banks. They will have to borrow a lot more to stay in business while the oil price is low, because almost none of them can make a profit at the current price. Production costs in the oil world are deep, dark secrets, but nobody believes that oil produced by hydraulic fracturing (fracking) comes in at less than $60-$70 per barrel. The real struggle is between the frackers and Saudi Arabia, because the latter is the swing producer in OPEC (the Organisation of PetroleumExporting Countries), the cartel that has dominated the global oil market for the past 50 years. All oil exporters want to keep the price high, but Saudi Arabia was the one OPEC member that could and would cut its production sharply for a while when an over-supply of oil in the market was driving prices down. It could afford to do that

because it has a relatively small population, very large savings and a cost of production so low that it can make some profit on its oil at almost any price. But even the Saudis cannot work miracles. They can aim for maximum production or maximum price; they cannot do both at the same time. Normally they would cut production temporarily to get the price back up. This time they refused to cut production and let the price collapse, despite the anguished pleas of some other OPEC members that need money NOW. The Saudis are thinking strategically. OPEC only controls about 30 per cent of world oil production, which is a very low share for a cartel that seeks to control the price. If fracking continues to expand in the United States, then OPEC’s market share will fall even further. So it has to drive the frackers out of business now. At first glance the Saudis look like sure winners, because they can live with low prices a lot longer than the deeply indebted frackers can. The banks that have lent the frackers so much money already won’t get it back if the industry implodes in a wave of bankruptcies, but they don’t want to throw good money after bad. The real wild card here is the U.S. government, which wants the energy independence that only more domestic oil production through fracking can provide. Will it let the American fracking industry go under, or will it give it the loan guarantees and direct subsidies that would let it wait the Saudis out? Stupid question. Of course it will do what is necessary to save the fracking industry. Ideology goes out the window in a case like this: you can get bipartisan support in Washington for protecting a key American industry from unfair foreign competition. That will certainly be enough to keep the frackers in the game for another two or three years. Meanwhile, the OPEC members that depend on oil income to keep large populations well fed and at least marginally content (e.g. Iran, Nigeria and Venezuela) will be facing massive public protest, and possibly even the threat of revolution. Their governments will be putting huge pressure on Saudi Arabia to save them by cutting production and driving the price back up. It’s impossible to say how this game will end, but it’s pretty easy to say when. Two years ought to do it. Once the outcome is clear, the price of oil will start going back up no matter which side wins, but it will go up relatively slowly. We are unlikely to see $100-a-barrel oil again before 2020 at the earliest.

Merit in what foes of Bill C-51 have to say about lack of oversight By John Campbell Editorial - No country can stand idle while terrorism grows as a threat to national security around the world. Canada’s response to forces of evil that destroy lives and property and rend asunder law and order is Bill C-51, an anti-terror bill that provoked protests across the country last weekend involving thousands of people. The Conservatives’ proposed legislation has been roundly criticized for going too far in granting greater powers to the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and other agencies tasked with keeping Canadians safe. Insufficient oversight figures prominently in attacks directed at the changes that would come with passage of the bill. Two law professors, Craig Forcese and Kent Roach, in published papers conclude the proposed measures in the “poorly constructed” bill are “irresponsible without a redoubled investment in our tattered accountability system.” In their writings, they sound the alarm on what could happen when, according to the bill, personal information collected about Canadians can be disclosed “to any person, for any purpose,” and they make reference to the case of Maher Arar. He was a naturalized Canadian detained by U.S. officials while changing planes in New York a year after the terrorist attacks in 2001. Secretly sent to his native Syria, he was tortured over the course of a year before being released without charge. Arar returned home to Canada and later received an apology as well as $10.5 million in compensation by the federal government whose officials provided false information that resulted in his being put on the U.S. terror list. The cautionary notes sounded by the pair of legal scholars were endorsed by more than 100 academics in an open letter that, in addition to declaring concerns they had over privacy rights and freedom of speech being diminished by the bill, also expressed their gratitude for the two men’s contributions to informing the public on what the bill’s implications are. Canada’s privacy commissioner, Daniel Therrien, also used an open letter to voice his own fears with Bill C-51, which gives 17 government departments and agencies “almost limitless powers to monitor and profile Canadians,” when 14 are not subject to independent oversight. “All Canadians–not only terrorism suspects– will be caught in this web,” he wrote. “Bill C-51 opens the door to collecting, analyzing

and potentially keeping forever the personal information of all Canadians in order to find the virtual needle in the haystack. To my mind, that goes too far.” In a submission earlier this month to the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security of the House of Commons, chaired by Prince Edward-Hastings MP Daryl Kramp, Therrien put forward five recommendations that set limits on the sharing of information while ensuring all 17 agencies “are subject to independent and effective review, by an expert body and by Parliamentarians.” Privacy commissioners from across Canada weighed in as well, warning in a letter that the bill, if enacted, would ensnare individuals who participate in lawful, peaceful demonstrations. They also cited Arar’s experience that resulted from the “unconstrained sharing of inaccurate personal information with foreign agencies” which illustrated “the grave dangers of this opening of the information floodgates.” The commissioners said “independent oversight and review is … critical” when “the secrecy that accompanies this form of surveillance drastically reduces the opportunity for affected individuals to learn of and challenge the state’s use and disclosure of their information.” Since the bill was tabled in the Commons in late January, a picture has emerged as to what the Conservatives’ all-out war on terror conceivably means: All the rights and freedoms Canadians currently enjoy are about to be tossed out. An exaggeration, to be sure, an over-reaction, no denying–but not unlike the government’s own response to a serious threat that, in protecting us from danger, will further erode our liberties and expose our lives to even more unwarranted scrutiny. It’s ironic so much of the bill is about sharing information–something the federal government doesn’t do enough of with its own people. The Conservatives took power in 2006 on a platform that included promises to improve transparency and accountability, but they have fallen well short of the mark. Freedom-of-information requests are too often required to pry open the door to the inner workings of government. The Conservatives would be wise, especially in an election year, to heed what the bill’s critics have said and make the necessary amendments. Unfortunately, that could prove problematic for an administration that has trouble finding common ground with those who oppose it.

Lawrie. “Kids love to touch them and parents often face down their fears through their children,� he added with a chuckle. Throughout the hour-long show–repeated ten times over the weekend–children were introduced to a virtual talent show of the animal kingdom. As they met Jabba the King Toad, Hunter the American Kestrel (a small falcon), Dudley the (Bearded) Dragon, Ali the American Alligator, and Kevin the Gecko, the kids learned interesting facts about each of their new acquaintances. Lawrie hopes the travelling show will generate further awareness of Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo, a privately funded animal rescue shelter and zoo that has now become accredited at both their Ottawa and Hamilton locations. Founded by husband and wife team Paul and Sheri Goulet in 1995, the facility has the largest and most diverse

animal outreach program in Canada. Their fun and interactive approach to Eco-Education continues to win the hearts and minds of children from coast to coast. “We enjoy teaching kids and their parents about pets, about a variety of different animals, and what you can do to basically save the planet and preserve the animals,� says Lawrie. It was his first time in Trenton, but based upon the phenomenal attention they received, it certainly won’t be his last. “Next year is definitely going to be a bigger event,� he said as he scanned the crowded room. “There’s a ton of people here and they’re all so excited to be a part of this.� In the meantime, however, Lawrie and his furry (and scaly) friends will be hitting the road to entertain audiences in London, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Newfoundland.

Federal finance chief pledges balanced budget

Federal Treasury Board President Tony Clement addressed a large and receptive audience in the Belleville Banquet Centre Friday for a luncheon sponsored by the Belleville and District Chamber of Commerce. Photo: Jack Evans By Jack Evans

News - Belleville - It won’t be easy but Federal Treasury Board President Tony Clement insists Ottawa will balance its budget for 2015. He acknowledged the chaos, job losses and economic hardship of the oil price crash, but said he and the cabinet have pored through all portfolios and found “eight per cent savings” that will save the day. In an interview following his address to a luncheon sponsored by the Belleville and District Chamber of Commerce in the Banquet Centre Friday, he added that apart from loss, the low oil price also generates some gains. Also in the interview, as one man who is front

and centre on the new budget, he waved off any predicted date or even parameters. “Any time after April 1,” was all he would say. Chamber general manager Bill Saunders, in introductory remarks, stressed his organization is NOT partisan but will present points of view of various parties during this election year. But he did support a position taken by MPP Todd Smith of concern about Ontario’s planned new pension program. “We see that as another payroll tax,” Smith said of his Conservative party. Saunders agreed. “That has been a serious concern of many of our Chamber members.” Clement said the Ontario pension is a matter of “some disagreement” between Queen’s Park and Ottawa and said he hoped alternatives can still be found. Reviewing a list of government achievements, Clement cited tax breaks for ordinary citizens and families averaging $3,000 per year, and also the firm hand by which

the Harper government is dealing with a serious threat from international terrorists. One question raised by those attending was the need for federal assistance for infrastructure projects. Clements said the government has a firm tenyear plan for $50 billion. Some of that is in partnership with other levels of government, some directly to municipalities through gasoline tax and some specifically for federal projects. More details on this nowcompleted program will be rolled out over the next short while by both Ottawa and Queen’s Park, he said. Also, despite a small job loss glitch in February just announced, the government is still ahead in job creation. “Canada’s best times are in front of us,” he said on an optimistic note. Following his Belleville appearance, Clement moved to a Trenton location for an informal and private meeting with regional municipal leaders.

News - Quinte West - The Trenton Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC), in partnership with Enactus Loyalist College, has launched a pilot training program today

10 Quinte West News - Thursday, March 19, 2015

College’s student Enactus team to develop and deliver a two-day workshop entitled HERCs that is offered to the local military community. To date, 98 individuals have completed the workshops with approximately 25 businesses established. Military families experience a complex career path made more challenging with frequent relocation and unpredictable spousal absences. In efforts to overcome the many career challenges associated with military family life, military spouses seek entrepreneurial opportunities that may allow them to work from home and maintain a flexible schedule. Building on its success, the HERCS program has recently expanded to include a provincial pilot program. During the pilot phase, HERCS will be available via webinar to MFRCs in Kingston, Ottawa, London, Toronto, Petawawa and Trenton. “The HERCS program has been life changing for many of my clients,” says Elizabeth Nicholas, Employment and Education Co-ordinator with the Trenton MFRC. “Those who may never have considered entrepreneurship as an option feel comfortable in attending this session to ‘test the waters.’ Quite often this program is the gateway to starting their own business. I am thrilled to have this chance to share it with other MFRCs in Ontario.” Elizabeth Nicholas’ goal is to have the HERCS training program offered at Canadian MFRCs everywhere.

Council votes to consider support of local pipe band By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - Council will consider at its budget meetings supporting the local 413 Wing Pipes and Drums each year, after a presentation made on Monday night. President Kevin Shaubel, senior pipe major Beth Cleaton, pipe major Sean Cleaton and drum instructor Joe Kiah said the support is necessary for the survival of the pipe band which depends on donations for uniforms and equipment. “We are all volunteers,� Beth Cleaton said. “Everything is paid by the members.� She said the band has done well winning awards and trophies for Members of the 413 Wing Pipes and Drums are looking for support from the city. (l-r) Kevin Shaubel, Sean Cleabest military parade, best band in ton, Beth Cleaton and Joe Kiah addressed council. Photo: Kate Everson

a parade and third in the eastern Ontario championships. They perform at 15 to 20 special events a year throughout the region including several parades. Cleaton is also chair of the 25th annual Trenton Scottish Irish Festival held in September. Fundraising last year paid for 18 members to go to Scotland and they are planning another trip overseas. Sean Cleaton said they are at risk of losing members to a new pipe band, the Air Force City Pipe Band, which puts on higher end concerts and is involved in competitions. Beth Cleaton said the 413 Wing Pipes and Drums is asking for $10,000 to $15,000 a year support

from the city. She said they will still continue to fundraise, noting it costs $2,000 for a uniform and $17,000 for a set of drums. It costs $20,000 a year to run the band. “We are the best ambassadors for this city,� she added. Joe Kiah said he is a drum instructor at 8 Wing and is proud of the partnership the band has with the base. Comments from the council were all positive. David McCue said he played in three pipe bands when he was young. He recommended the council support this one. Council suspended the rules to forward the motion to the budget for consideration.

Northumberland to quote on Brighton’s engineering services By Joyce Cassin

News - Brighton - With the loss of public works director Andrew Drzewiecki last month, the recruitment process was supposed to move forward when a motion was put on the floor during the March 2 council meeting, but the process is still on hold. Council met Monday night and spent well over half an hour discussing a letter from Northumberland County acting CAO

Jennifer Moore, that provided three options for Brighton. Option A is for a short term until a new hire is in place. Option B is a temporary solution just until this year’s construction season is over, and Option C is the provision of full services for a fixed time period. Although Mayor Mark Walas and Councillor John Martinello agreed with Option C, Councillor Roger McMurray

was in favour of Option B, and Councillor Brian Ostrander spoke in favour of Option A. This led the mayor to rethink the motion in favour of Option C, as should the motion be defeated, the matter would be off the table until a later date. Councillor Mary Tadman pointed out that Moore had asked three questions that she needs answers to beforeď€ she can provide further detail on the options.

STORE HOURS: Monday thru Sunday 8:OOam - 10:00pm

Moore asked for a timeframe on the public works director recruitment, the types and scope of projects planned for this year, and a priority ranking of the projects. Moore wrote that they currently have a deficit of staff, and that two engineers have been hired, but have yet to begin working at the county. This would mean Brighton would not have full use of engineering services for at least two months. Ostrander recommended they begin the

recruitment process so that question would be answered, but the motion failed, with Ostrander and Councillor Laura Vink the only two in favour. The motion that passed was for the mayor to discuss the costs associated with all three options with Moore. Finance Director Linda Widdifield suggested council discuss answering Moore’s questions during the Tuesday morning budget meeting.

Iron Accountant shows students the creative side of number crunching By Stephen Petrick

team whose company shows the best shareholder value in the end wins. It’s not simply about selling the most bicycles or using the best parts.
It’s a challenging exercise that requires a great business strategy and analytical skills, Coupland said. And it helps Loyalist’s accounting faculty bust the myth that accounting is simply about math. Or, in other words, boring.
 “That’s exactly why we do this,” Copeland said. “What we’re finding is in high schools there are fewer and fewer students taking accounting classes. But in the real world there are jobs in accounting; there is a disconnect. “Right now we get employers calling us and saying, ‘Can you recommend a grad?’” Coupland added that she has seen studies that project that by 2020 there will be more accounting jobs than there will be trained people to fill them in Canada. So Loyalist is

stepping up efforts to encourage students to consider accounting. Part of that recruitment process is explaining to students that accountants today have special roles in companies; they’re not just there to punch in numbers.
 “There’s absolutely a job for those debit and credit financial people, but there’s so much more to accounting,” she said, adding that it requires analytical skills and “the ability to see the big picture … Now [as an accountant] you’re playing a vital role in the strategy.” The winning team at the competition came from Moira Secondary School and featured Erin Taylor, Ben Bacic and Damien Rikley.
Quinte Christian High School placed second. It was represented by Brayden Stoffers, Andrew Rosenthal, Noel Hangeveld, James Bootsma and Garrison Oosterhof.
Third place went to the Centennial Secondary School team featuring

District Secondary School.
The competition was sponsored by Welch LLP, Wilkinson & Company LLP and Loyalist College.

News - Belleville - Here’s some education news that’s either great or concerning, depending on how you take it. At last Tuesday’s Iron Accountant competition at Loyalist College, a team of high school teachers finished last behind eight student groups.
So is it good or bad if the students have better number crunching skills than their teachers? To Carol Coupland, a member of Loyalist’s accounting faculty, it doesn’t matter. The fact that dozens of students came out to the competition to learn more about accounting and the analytical skills it requires is an achievement worth celebrating on its own.
The Iron Accountant is a competition driven by a computer program that mimics the experience of running a bicycle business. The teams must make decisions based around building and selling their product and what the market’s showing them.

News - Quinte West - Special events co-ordinator Colleen Vickers and Mayor Jim Harrison presented Volunteer Excellence Awards at council Monday night. “The city is fortunate to have a large and dedicated volunteer base that continues to make our city a better place to live,” Vickers said. “Each year these volunteers commit their time to great causes, programs, events, and organizations within our community and without them many of these things would not be possible.” She thanked all the volunteers who continue to make a difference in the community. Following the presentation the volunteers and guests were invited to a reception in the multipurpose room. The first presentation was from the National Air Force Museum of Canada which relies on over 150 vol-

unteers to meet day-to-day operational requirements. The following individuals that were nominated have demonstrated outstanding levels of commitment, enthusiasm and hard work. The museum attributes the work of these volunteers to its tremendous success each year. Brad DeNoon was presented a certificate for four years volunteering at the museum. Richard Casselman was recognized

for 15 years, on and off, as a volunteer. Not able to attend were Andy Anderson, Allan Lobban and Tim Whitehouse. The Quinte West Public Library has also proudly nominated a volunteer, Elizabeth Griffiths, who has provided reliable assistance to staff for over 20 years. She faithfully spends between three and four hours every week at the library volunteering, in addition to

volunteering for programs like Doors Open, Curl for Cancer, and the Curling Club. Griffiths was not able to attend the presentation. Several volunteers were recognized on the 2014 Relay for Life Committee for their outstanding contribution

to the community. This exceptional committee was comprised of a dynamic group of people who came together to raise awareness, participate in the event and fundraise. The event surpassed all goals thanks to

this great group, which included Nadine Vanegmond, Crystal Lassardo, Evelyn Wilson, Jen Vandermeer, Julie Deville, Kari Deckert, Fay Thomas, Justine and Vanessa Peleschi, Lauren Marlow and Amy Dawson.

Council says OMPF formula “broken”

News - Stirling - Stirling-Rawdon Mayor Rodney Cooney says that despite a $500,000 shortfall this year, council is hopeful that residents here will not see a tax increase when the municipal budget is introduced in the com-

ing weeks. In this week’s regular meeting of council, Cooney said there are still the matters of education and county levies to be determined and a police budget that was returned seeking further cuts, but otherwise much of the process is

complete and council is attempting to hold the line in 2015. Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund (OMPF) resources were slashed by $208,000 in 2015 and Cooney notes that cuts have totalled about $1 million per year since he was first elected. And

other municipalities, he says, share his opinion that “the formula’s broken,” with some municipalities seeing significant cuts while others receive increases without explanation. That, coupled with increasing energy and OMERS costs for the municipality, has resulted in “an interesting budget,” the mayor says. A public meeting to outline budget plans will be scheduled prior to council approval, which Cooney anticipates will be in mid-April.

April 30, $10 for burn permits as well as new rental fees for the 2015 baseball season. Several other service charges, including NSF administration fee, water certificates and amendments and variances were also increased “in an effort to recuperate the cost of providing services for the user.” While council has no money to invest, Mayor Cooney says he would like to see the two school board properties on Church Street converted into residential units. At a recent meeting of the Protection to Persons and Property Committee, a delegation from Andrew Gunning of Farnsworth Construction and Gerry Baker of RE/MAX Quinte put forward the idea of development and, while Cooney notes the plans were far from specific, the committee agreed that a private/public partnership with benefits to all involved would be worth considering. A project to replace the streetlights in Stirling and Spring Brook is expected to get under way soon and council is anticipating significant energy savings. The project, which includes the replacement

of nearly 300 lights in the township at a cost of about $150,000, should pay for itself in energy savings within seven years, Cooney says. Councillors noted their surprise at the low turnout for last TICO#50007364

Bulls end tumultuous week by clinching playoff spot By Stephen Petrick

Sports - Belleville - The office news for Belleville Bulls fans was horrible last week. The on ice news was at least merciful. The Bulls lost all three games last weekend after Thursday’s shocking news that the team had been sold and will relocate to Hamilton next season. But on Sunday afternoon against the visiting North Bay Battalion the Bulls took the game to overtime, which secured the one point they needed to clinch a playoff spot. “Obviously you want to clinch in a winning fashion,” said Bulls defenceman Jordan Subban, who had a goal and assist in the 4 - 3 shootout loss. “But we have a couple more games on home ice and hopefully we can go into the playoffs on a more positive note.”

At the end of the weekend the Bulls sported a record of 25-34-1-5, good for seventh place in the Ontario Hockey League’s Eastern Conference. The Bulls played the Oshawa Generals at home on Wednesday in a game played after press time. This Saturday the Bulls will play their last regular-season home game in franchise history at the Yardmen Arena when the Sudbury Wolves visit. Puck drop is at 7:05 p.m. Then on Sunday they wrap up the regular season with a road game in Oshawa. There’s plenty at stake in the final two games. The Peterborough Petes ended the weekend just two points behind Belleville in eighth place. If the Bulls slip to eighth place, they’ll meet the Generals in the first round. The Generals are not just the top team in the OHL’s Eastern Conference. With 50 wins in

65 games, as of Sunday, they were the number one ranked team in the Canadian Hockey League. “It’s in everyone’s interest to get seventh,” said Bulls assistant coach Jake Grimes. “You’re not going to get an easy opponent in seventh place, but the powerhouse of the CHL now is Oshawa. They’re big, strong and tough to deal with for anybody.” Although the Bulls’ play hasn’t been inspiring lately– over the last ten games they’re 2-7-0-1–Grimes said the team can take some positives out of Sunday’s result. He said the team put in a good effort for all 65 minutes, before losing in a shootout. Subban and Justin Lemcke scored goals just 19 seconds apart midway through the first period to give the home team an early 2 - 0 lead, but two North Bay goals early

in the second period made the score 2 - 2 and it stayed that way until late in the third period when the teams traded goals. Stephen Harper scored at 12:39 to give the Bulls a 3 - 2 lead but North Bay tied the game a minute and a half later. The score stayed that way until the end of regulation and through five minutes of fouron-four overtime. Although Bulls goalie Connor Hicks stopped two of three North Bay shooters in the shootout, the Bulls couldn’t beat North Bay goalie Jake Kment in three attempts. The game was played in front of a crowd that was announced at 2,491 and there was a pretty ordinary atmosphere in the Yardmen, despite Thursday’s news. One night earlier, the Bulls lost 3 - 2 to the surging Ottawa 67’s, in a game played in front of a crowd announced

at 2,848. David Tomasek and Lemcke scored in the first to give the Bulls a 2 - 0 lead, but the 67’s tied the score with two goals in the second and added one in the third to complete a come-from-behind win. The 67’s, who trailed Belleville

Bulls players, coaches focusing on hockey, despite sadness and uncertainty

“They were just as shocked as everyone consider, too. It’s part of fortunate to be in Belleville else. No one saw this coming. It’s more the game to be in situations for the last eleven years with than an organization and a community like this. I think we’ve been a stable situation.” for us; it’s almost a second home.” Meanwhile Bulls assistant coach Jake Grimes acknowledged it’s been a tough week for everyone involved in the organization, but players and coaches need to focus on hockey regardless. “Fireplace Showroom” Grimes said that, as far as he knows, the players’ contracts will carry over in your Home Comfort to Hamilton next season, when the Since 1995 franchise becomes the Bulldogs. But the coaching staff, including head coach and general manager George Burnett, as of the weekend, still didn’t know if they’d be offered jobs in Hamilton. “Anyone who works for the organization and has a family is affected,” he said. “The jobs are leaving; Heating & Air Conditioning they’re not here and our families are.” LASTS AND LASTS AND LASTS Grimes said the message the staff has ✓ Furnaces ✓ Air Conditioners received from the Bulls ownership right ✓ Heat Recovery Ventilators ✓ Fireplaces now is to focus on the season. Later “WE DO IT ALL” they’ll see if they’ll have an opportunity to move to Hamilton. Despite that uncertainly, Grimes said he’s focusing on the positives.

CARRIER OF THE MONTH!

Sports - Belleville - News of the Belleville Bulls sale and relocation last week was tough on players and coaches but they insist it won’t impact their play as they get ready for the post season. Among the players most emotionally affected by the end of the franchise was Jordan Subban. The veteran defenceman is the third member of his family to suit up in the yellow and black. P.K. Subban starred for the Bulls from 2005 to 2009 and is now a star defenceman for the Montreal Canadiens. Malcolm Subban was a goaltender with the Bulls from 2009 to 2013 and is now in the Boston Bruins organization. “For me it’s tough, having played my whole career here and my brothers having played here,” Jordan Subban said. “For some of the younger guys it might not be as big a deal. I wouldn’t say it’s a distraction. We’ve had great support the last couple of games after the news broke. That’s good to see. Hopefully we’ll continue to get good crowds and get some more wins behind us.” The younger Subban said he spoke to his two older brothers, who were both disappointed with the news of the sale and relocation.

Belleville Bulls sale leads to bitter feelings

News - Belleville - Jack Miller broke the news that shocked the Quinte region last week; the Ontario Hockey League’s Belleville Bulls had been sold and would leave town. The Quinte Broadcasting Sports Director and long-time radio voice of the Bulls was invited to meet with Bulls owner Gord Simmonds on the afternoon of Thursday, March 12. “He said, ‘I don’t want to talk to you so much as media or a councillor, but as a friend,’” said Miller, who’s also a veteran Belleville city councillor. “He said, ‘I don’t know how to tell you this but I sold the team; it’s moving next year and the (OHL) Board of Governors is meeting tonight to ratify.’ It came out of the blue.” Miller shared the news on the airwaves moments later and by Thursday evening it was official; the team had been sold to businessman Michael Andlauer on the agreement they move to Hamilton and be renamed the Bulldogs. For Hamilton, the move makes up for the loss of the American Hockey League’s Bulldogs team, who are about to move to St. John’s, Newfoundland. It’s a devastating blow to Belleville, even for people who don’t like hockey. The Bulls employ many people and contribute revenue to the city by leasing the Yardmen Arena. They work with several charities and generate economic spinoffs for the city, as bars and restaurants near the arena are often busy on game days. When Miller was asked bluntly if Simmonds betrayed Belleville, he struggled to answer saying “that’s a loaded question,” but made it clear he was disappointed with the way

the deal unfolded. “He’s been saying all along that the attendance levels aren’t enough to sustain this team …. “The messaging was there but, despite efforts by senior staff of the city to reach Gord and start negotiating on the lease [on the Yardmen Arena], he didn’t respond.” Miller isn’t the only one in Belleville confused at the way the move unfolded. Mayor Taso Christopher said on Monday that he was shocked and upset that the city wasn’t informed by the OHL that a deal with Hamilton was in the works. The Bulls have been part of the OHL since 1981-1982, and were the league champions in 1999. “The part that I’m surprised and disappointed about over and above all is the [lack of contact by the] league itself,” Christopher said. “They didn’t give the opportunity to the City of Belleville to respond.” In fact, the mayor believes if municipal officials had time to respond to the offer Simmonds had on the table a local ownership group might have been found to keep the team in Belleville.
But Christopher also acknowledged there were other issues at play, such as an arena. Simmonds, the Bulls majority owner for the past 11 years, had repeatedly stressed his belief that the 3,200seat Yardmen Arena would need to be replaced or improved to make the team viable in the long run. But such a project, Christopher acknowledged, would be difficult given all the infrastructure projects the city has on the go already. Still, Christopher expressed disappointment that Simmonds wasn’t more patient with the city. He pointed out that recent construction of the Quinte Sports

& Wellness Centre, which is attached to the Yardmen Arena, now ensures that thousands of people enter the building where the Bulls play every day. Plus, he said, council had a plan to look at expanding the Yardmen Arena in 2017, which Christopher believes Simmonds understood. “He was fully aware, fully endorsed and fully supported,” Christopher said. While a brand new arena in the $50-million range wasn’t likely to happen, Christopher said an expansion of the Yardmen Arena in the $15- to $17-million range might have been possible.
But it would still be a difficult decision for councillors because they’d have to feel comfortable that they had a good relationship with the team’s ownership. “You can’t make an investment unless you have a solid relationship with the tenant,” he said. Simmonds responded to a request for an interview on Monday and said that the city’s claim that it had no time to respond to the sale is really political gamesmanship, since the municipality had 11 years to work with him, but never put a firm commitment to improve the Yardmen Arena.
“They’re somewhat desperate to make up a story that makes sense to the ratepayers and the Bulls fans, when there’s no story to tell,” he said.
“They let the lease expire without having discussions to talk about the long term. I was clear the last time we met that we wouldn’t talk about any type of long-term agreement unless we had a guarantee that there was going to be significant investment in the facility.” Simmonds admitted that the deal with Andlauer presented itself fairly quickly. But he stressed emphatically that there was no local ownership group

prepared to make a counter offer.
 “I keep hearing about a local ownership group,” he said. “It’s insulting. There’s been no concrete proposal [from a local investor].” After the drama unfolded Thursday, the Bulls went on to play three games on the weekend and lost all three–although on Sunday they earned a point for taking the game to overtime.

you by face and name has been a rewarding experience.” As Buskard cleaned up the room toward the end of the game, he said the news was “shocking” to him, but he should have seen it coming.
“I don’t blame Gord; he’s a businessman,” he said. “He was made promises and it never came to light. People will say, ‘Look what he did.’ But he didn’t do it.”

Sleigh rides, plank races, cotton candy and more By Sue Dickens

News - Warkworth - “It’s awesome,” said 11-year-old Eleanor Sabo from Port Hope, while enjoying taffy on a popsicle stick, rolled from syrup poured onto snow, a highlight for many who attended the 29th annual Warkworth Maple Syrup Festival held last weekend at Sandy Flat Sugar Bush. Free shuttle buses, compliments of C. Smith Bus Lines, carried people back and forth each day from town to the sugar bush. “This is just a great community when you consider the population is about 400 and here you have 200 volunteers, I mean come on,” said Wayne Shaw, one of the volunteers who rode the bus and handed out brochures to people. From indoor mini-golf to the petting farm, a craft show, art and photography show and the 25th annual antique and nostalgia show and sale, there was plenty for folks to see and do. At the sugar bush there were sleigh rides through the bush, log sawing, plank races, cotton candy and entertainment by Jimbob & SweetGrass. This was the first year of overseeing the event for the new owners, Derek and Angela van Stam of Frankford. They took over from longtime owners Alice and George Potter. “This is great. The sap is running. We’ve pulled off table syrup already so it’s a promising year,” said Angela while their three children played nearby. “It’s just wonderful to be here today. Our heart is still with the sugar bush and it always will be,” said Alice Potter. The Warkworth Community Service Club was kept busy all weekend making pancakes and sausages for the traditional breakfast that helps them raise money which goes back into the community. Sonny Lennon, the club’s treasurer, said this year they sold 1,744 breakfasts for adults and 831 “for the kiddies.” “Down slightly from last year, but that was mostly weather related due to the rain on Warkworth Community Service Club member Colin Hughes does the honours as he places pancake batter on the grill to feed the thousands who visited the 29th annual Warkworth Maple Syrup Saturday but we’re happy with it,” he said.

Love your Muslim Neighbour topic of a video presented for discussion By Sue Dickens

News - Warkworth - “Jesus Fatwah: Love your Muslim Neighbour as Yourself,� is the topic of a series of information and discussion sessions that has been happening here for several weeks. Offered by the Reverend Dick Prince of St. Paul’s United Church, the sessions began February 25 and have been held every Wednesday evening in The Gathering Place. “It’s an opportunity to have a conversation,� Prince told the Trent Hills Independent. “I think really we are faced with little information beyond what we hear about ISIS and Syria, in the news. “It seems to me there is much more to know about Islam and how Muslims live their lives here and around the world,� he explained. The video that is being used to begin the conversation is called Living the Questions, and is described as “a source of curriculum for progressive Christians.

“The group has a variety of different studies looking at Jesus and living a Christian faith while living in a contemporary society,â€? the Reverend Prince commented. “This particular one they put together is to help Christians understand Islam and their Muslim neighbours ‌ in the face of a media culture that is extremely biased and produces only the worst of Islam ‌ all we hear are the worst cases of people living their faith by violence.â€? The video features “well spoken theologians of the Islamic faith and Christian faith talking at you for a few minutes trying to present their perspective then questions develop to help us dig into it more,â€? he explained. The Reverend Prince said he is not aware of any Muslims living in this community but noted there is interest in the topic. About a dozen people have been attending the study sessions.

According to Wikipedia in 2011 there were 1,053,945 Muslims in Canada or about 3.2 per cent of the population, making them the second largest religion after Christianity and the fastest growing religion in this country. “I think people are curious to know more,â€? said Prince. “Some people find themselves a little frightened from what they hear in the news,â€? he added. “You can also go on the Internet and see anti-Islamic sentiments expressed so finding a more balanced perspective that allows you to have a balanced picture to what you see on the news [or online] is harder to do than what you might think ‌ this study series will help people to have one more piece to work with. “There are people coming to the event who have responded to it.â€? The Reverend Prince talked about the recruitment happening in Canada that has made the news recently.

The reported disappearance of the three British girls, ages 15 and 16, who it was later learned, travelled to Turkey and crossed into Syria to join ISIS, is just one example. According to news reports by media around the world this is just the tip of the iceberg. “There are people in Canada who are deliberately recruiting our children who we do not want them to have anything to do with,â€? noted Prince. But, he also added, “We need to remember if there are millions of Muslims here in Canada ‌ it’s not like this is the entire Muslim community doing this. “It is a small percentage,â€? he concluded.

LETTERS LIFESTYLES TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, We are told the shooter on Parliament Hill was a terrorist. It appears that he wanted to return to Libya where he had lived previously but was denied a passport. In his video released afterward he clearly lays the reason for his lashing out as the Harper government’s bombing of Libya, where Canadian planes executed hundreds of bombing raids and even dropped a bomb signed by Canada’s defence minister to help the USA’s regime change policy, and free Libya’s oil. Oh yes, there was collateral damage (dead and maimed civilians, a lot of high grade infrastructure destroyed) and now the country is

Government priorities

ripe for IS and others. The “Libyan government” is left to play far away in a corner while bands of warring factions carve and re-carve the oil fields and ports used to ship their booty. As expected, religion has stepped in to take advantage. While corruption and chaos is bad enough, organized religion is often the only available force strong enough to throw out the corrupt as was the case in Afghanistan where the Taliban dealt with the Russian puppets after that country pulled out. Now that IS has taken control from Al-Qaeda in all three Middle East countries the west bombed into the stone age, plus Syria presently under

Everyone’s to blame but the Conservatives

Dear Editor, After reading the comments from Mr. Harper’s two hack spin doctors John Robson and Warren Kinsella a while back in a local paper, I am flabbergasted with the gall of those two. They go on and on about how Mr. Harper screwed up and how Mr. Harper lied to everyone when he first said that we were not at war and now admits that yes we are now fighting because they are shooting at us, and how he screwed up by depending on oil, promising that we would have a surplus in the budget. Wait for it. Both those spin-doctors, Robson and Kinsella, blame the NDP and the Liberals because they should have known that Mr. Harper was telling a lie. But if those two spin-doctors cannot blame Mr. Trudeau or Mr. Mulcair, they blame Pierre Trudeau who is dead. Mr. Harper said that it was ok for all those foreigners to buy Canadian companies and close them down, because oil was king and we did not need other jobs. He should have realised that this country is not Dubai and cannot survive with just one commodity and that we do need other kinds of jobs. But do the Conservatives care? Now watch how many will be deserting the ship by taking retirement before the elections and collecting their pensions. I always believed that it was illegal to buy elections, but again the Conservatives think that is O.K. to lie about everything and to keep on taking your freedom of speech by making new laws and by promising all kinds of new spending. And now Warren Kinsella is at it again. Now he brags about how Mr. Harper and the Conservative Party are using fear to win the elections. Warren even brags again about it by saying that in between love and fear, fear will always win. I am writing this letter now because after the Conservatives are finished with this new law, taking more of our freedom away, I fear that I will probably be thrown in jail for having my opinion and disagreeing with the government. Pete Brodeur, Frankford B6 Section B - Thursday, March 19, 2015

way, I have to ask again why are we there, and do we expect any blow back? Please spare us the bovine droppings about protecting people and supporting democracy. The one million dead Iraqis, with many more injured next door tells a very different story. One note here on men who wear turbans. They are not all Muslim. Sikhs for example have shown the way in the UK when feeding the homeless. The largest Sikh temple in London serves an average 5,000 hot meals each day and 10,000 on weekends to the homeless. Very few are Sikh. Many meals are served inside Sikh temples, all part of their

traditional duty of serving “langar” meals. Back here at home, Harper tells us how much danger we are in and that we must open every door, email, phone call, net search etc., to Canadian spy agencies. Eight hundred and fifty Mounties have been committed to anti-terror activities, effectively shutting down 231 current criminal investigations. Perhaps some of these involve corruption in construction industries. Maybe some involve the hundreds of Canadians with offshore tax-evading bank accounts outed several years ago at HSBC in Switzerland. So far not a single charge has been laid.

Dear Editor, An amazing batch of letters to the editor landed in the Central Hastings News this early March. In their varied ways these tightly argued opinions, from all points of the county, addressed the same subject, The Fear Business, its legal ramifications and its myriad connections with the insurance industry. What really set things off was the closing of a popular swimming hole. Long used and much loved, the Harold quarry faces “potential litigation” and soon may be off-limits to “the people” who have safely enjoyed its cool waters for decades. And that’s when the letters started. A correspondent from Stirling points out that “most recreational activities come with a degree of danger” (skateboard/ splash pools for example) so “is it reasonable to fence all of these facilities as well?” Just erect “a Use At Your Own Risk sign,” suggests a writer from Rawdon, who then adds the BIG and underlying question: “Where does the logic propelled by fear of bad things happening end?” Since 9/11 this has been the endless question. But, as a second writer from Stirling points out, “Instilling fear in their citizens” is not what Churchill and

Fraud in the senate may take a breather. More likely is that the full concentration of Canada’s spies will be squarely aimed at environmental activists trying to protect our water, or native peoples wanting a stop to massive clearcutting on their ancestral lands. These are the real terrorists according to the Harper Government. They threaten our sovereignty. They threaten the right of foreign “investors” to pollute our lakes and rivers which is why Harper removed the protection of 99 per cent of our waterways in one of his omnibus bills. So who has sovereignty in Canada? Cor-

The Fear Biz©

Roosevelt advocated in a far more perilous time than our own. There is not “a jihadi behind every bush” nor much danger in our innocent swimming hole though both fears, she points out, erode our Charter of Rights and Freedoms. A writer from Campbellford agrees, citing the billions we will spend looking for “terrorist bogeymen under our rugs.” But let’s step back and examine other aspects of The Fear Biz and its costly intrusions. A travel ad from our neighbours in Northumberland County features a girl on a nature trail with her bicycle and she’s wearing an expensive crash helmet: “It’s the law.” Holland has more cyclists per capita than anywhere else on earth: no one in Holland wears a crash helmet even in the densest traffic, little say on a nature trail. No one where I grew up wore a helmet either and we rode thousands of carefree and uninsured miles. The latest instance of Fear Biz merchandising insists that we place $120 CO alarms in our homes: “It’s the Law.” Excuse me, do you know anyone who has died of carbon monoxide? And then there’s those (expensive) light bulbs that are supposed to be safer and more “ecological” but happen to contain mercury. They’re “the law” too.

porations suing Canada under our NAFTA trade deal “investor rights” clause are currently claiming $6 billion and counting, plus legal fees. The biggest chunk are protesting Canadian environmental protection, next are over resource management, followed by administration of justice. Canada has lost or settled six cases in secret. The USA has never lost a case. These all concern the common good, and are considered evils, which interfere with profit by corporate leaders. Once again thanks to the CCPA Monitor; well worth the read. Paul Whittaker. Gilmour

Also, check out gravel quarries with century-old safety records that now must attach decibel-9 alarms to their equipment so that a lone operator, who hates the noise, can destroy the rural sound-scape for a kilometre in every direction. And, to further alienate farming from the community, agricultural machinery increasingly comes with the obligatory alarms. Twenty years ago such a racket would be fined for disturbing the peace. So how have we so radically changed? Where do all these false fears come from? The Napanee Beaver points out in a recent editorial that “the chances of you or someone you know, being the victim of a terrorist attack is infinitesimally small,” while asking us “how much privacy or freedom are we willing to give up in order to achieve this alleged safety?” How many swimming holes do we close? “Where does the logic propelled by fear of bad things happening end?” Well, part of the answer lies in yet another letter to the Central Hastings News, this one from a fourteen-year-old in Trenton: “I think people need to learn how to live again!” Joe Reeve, Marlbank

The Liberals response is disconcerting

Dear Editor, Like many other Canadians, the realization that we face new strategies by the jihadist terrorists for furthering their cause against the Western world is not going away any time soon. And like most Canadians, I want more to be done to protect our way of life against terror, at-home and abroad. The recent viewing of the video made by a jihadist inspired terrorist before his rampage on Parliament Hill leaves no doubt that we cannot stick our heads in the sand risking our

safety and security. This new Anti-Terrorism Act allows security agencies to disrupt terrorist radicalization, Internet promotion of terrorism, and terrorist attacks against Canadians. Recently, Liberal leader Justin Trudeau at a University of BC speech, let it slip that although he opposes the Anti Terrorism Act, they will as a party vote for it because it is close to an election. Additional evidence to his opposition to the bill has been the attendance of hand picked candidates and

MPs from his party at union driven protests against Bill C-51. True leaders are committed to what they believe in and they articulate their position. On this issue it’s clear that Justin Trudeau really doesn’t believe in bill C-51, but will vote to support it solely for political optics. This response to such an important issue that impacts the lives of all Canadians is disconcerting to say the least. David Larios, Belleville

SFT Young Co tells A Tale of Knights By Richard Turtle

Entertainment - Stirling - When Arthur Cowalot, a young farmhand, tires of the daily routine and sets his sights on knight school, things get complicated for his family and friends. But life’s not so simple at knight school either, and Arthur discovers through his studies that some rivalries can prove difficult to resolve– especially the ones that involve the opposite sex. The latest offering from the Stirling Festival Theatre (SFT) Young Company, A Tale of Knights, is a new play by local theatre artist Ken MacDougall, whose ChristCast members from the Stirling Festival Theatre Young Company’s produc- mas pantos have been delighting tion of A Tale of Knights sign autographs after their opening last weekend. audiences in Stirling for years.

afternoon, also includes about a dozen well-known songs, choreographed by Katy Nicholas, as well as both horseplay and swordplay in abundance. A Tale of Knights was written with the young company in mind, MacDougall says, and tackles issues familiar to teens and parents alike. Many in attendance, including the playwright’s young children, were dressed for the medieval occasion, either as knights or princesses, to add some extra colour to the chivalrous theme. Each musical number was met with warm applause and many of the individual performers were outstanding in their given roles. A mix of newcomers and familiar faces, the cast of 14 spent weeks in rehearsal with the new script, says Managing Director David Vander-

lip, and their efforts left a lasting impression on many in attendance. Comments and impressions shared by patrons during an autograph session in the lobby after the show were highly complimentary and well deserved. Noted one visitor as he left the Saturday opening, “it was worth the two-and-a-half-hour drive to see you guys.” Dallin Whitford, as the “Born to be Wild” Sir Lee, provides a memorable rendition of the rock and roll standard while attempting to control an unruly horse. Taylor the Tailor, played by Kai Evoy, is priceless as he pitches his lines of armour with a little help from a host of models that include a Ninja Turtle and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, and Sam Orr, playing Arthur, and Rylee Bremner as the Good Knight Irene,

show off their swordsmanship skills as well as their vocal talents as they share the stage through several of the knight school courses as well as at home on the farm. And Bobby Vanderlip served up plenty of laughs as Grandpa Cowalot, who spends much of his time shuffling around the homestead and grumbling about the state of affairs. Strong support was provided by fellow cast members Holly Cole, Natalie Cummings, Molly Dion, Peter Globe, Heather Jones, Keira Prashad, Lucy Rutledge, Emma Widdows and Annette Vanderlip. The show continues through this weekend at the Stirling Festival Theatre with show times and ticket information available at the box office or by calling 613-3952100.

8 Wing/CFB Trenton hosting high-profile events

News - Trenton - There will be no joking around as March recedes into April this year at 8 Wing/CFB Trenton, according to Wing Commander Colonel David Lowthian. In fact, the last day of March and the first day of April will see the base host some very high-profile events. On March 31, Honorary Colonels will gather for an Honorary Colonels’ forum at CFB Trenton followed that evening with the unveiling of the Air Mobility Honour Roll, according to Lowthian. “For us, ATG, we became the Air Mobility Forces, but really we answered to 1 CAD, so we were no longer identified under a specific group. Since that time, if you go to the Officers’ Mess, you will see Air Transport Commanders paid tribute to on the wall. That all stopped when ATG stood down. Since then, we’ve had several Air Mobility leaders command at very high lev-

els of the rank of General, so what this AMHR will do is pay tribute to and recognize that.” He explained that anyone who has been a unit-level Commanding Officer or a Wing Commander for an Air Mobility organization and then they’ve gone on to be promoted to the rank of General and, at the rank of General, have been appointed to command of a formation or a school or something like that, they will be inducted into this Honour Roll. That would mean that five people would immediately pass that test: General Steve Lucas, a 435 Squadron Commanding officer who went on to command 1 CAD and then went on to command the Air Force. General Marc Dumais was 436 Squadron Commander, 8 Wing Commander and then went on to become the Canada Command Commander at the rank of Lieutenant-General.

General Andres Deschamps, a former Commander of 436 Squadron and 8 Wing eventually commanded the Air Force. General Tom Lawson commanded 412 Squadron, and 8 Wing prior to becoming Chief of the Defence Staff. Brigadier General Greg Luce, a former commander of 8 Air Communications and Control Squadron (8 ACCS) is now the Joint Force Commander in Yellowknife responsible for Canada’s north and all operations and support in that area. He said the base would be looking forward to the following year when he would be working with WCWO Elder to look at how the same situation could be addressed for a similar all-encompassing recognition for Chief Warrant Officers. Next year’s inductions would also feature some more former 8 Wing commanders, like soon-tobe Lieutenant-General Mike Hood,

who will soon take command of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and Brigadier-General Sean Friday, who will soon take command of the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston, and Brigadier-General Dave Cochrane, who will take over command of 2 Air Division. April 1 would feature the annual Leadership Forum with a number

of great speakers throughout the day and the 91st Air Force anniversary dinner that evening. “This dinner would not just be a Mess Dinner, but a dinner open to military spouses because, in partnership with the Royal Military College Club, Canada, we’re going to host the Len Birchall Leadership Award,” Colonel Lowthian stated.

“We’ve been asked to host this award presentation here in Trenton, which automatically leads to a mixed attendance. Therefore, we’ll open it up more as an anniversary dinner rather than a Mess Dinner. “So it’s quite exciting and quite an honour for us to be able to do all of this stuff over the span of three days,” he said.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

A letter to Conservative MP Daryl Kramp

Dear Mr. Kramp, I would like to let you know that I’m scared of the new “anti-terrorism” legislation currently debated in Parliament and in Canadian citizens’ homes. This legislation threatens the democratic freedom of Canadians. I’m afraid of a future where conscientious citizens, who choose to farm and eat and live with the health of Mother Earth in mind, will be branded “terrorists” by a more and more autocratic government and judicial system. Conscientious citizens who refuse to eat at McDonald’s and prefer to eat clean food grown from heritage

seeds will be arrested after nightfall if Prime Minister Harper continues to dismantle the rights and freedoms guaranteed in the constitution to every citizen. People will no longer be allowed to resist participation in the regime of Halliburton, Nestle, Monsanto, et al. I hope you are neither so naive nor so sinister as to support this legislation in the future, against the wishes of 46 per cent of voters in this riding and probably the 38 per cent who didn’t vote in 2011. Apart from my fear of waking up in a runaway police state, there is also the fact that this bill will

trample in the dust all human rights safeguards that politicians and visionaries in the past have built into our judicial system so that suspects who have not been convicted of any crime will be safe from torture and other brutality and arbitrariness in the realm of law enforcement. This government is about to legislate the same judicial corruption that characterizes a banana republic. Thank you for reading about my fears. I know I’m not the only one who is made uneasy by this bill. Best regards, Birgit Brandt, Madoc Section B - Thursday, March 19, 2015 B7

TRAVEL

Exploring some Buffalo Bill territory in Nebraska

Buffalo Bill’s house, Scout’s Rest, is now part of Buffalo Bill’s Ranch State Historical Park in North Platte, Nebraska. By John M. Smith

Lifestyles - William F. Cody, who was better known by the name of “Buffalo Bill,” was born in Iowa in 1846. During his colourful life, he lived in several places and had a great variety of jobs, including those of trapper, scout, stagecoach driver, pony express rider,

entertainer, and buffalo hunter. In fact, he got his nickname as a result of a buffalo hunting contest while in Kansas, when he defeated another well-known hunter of the day, Bill Comstock. As a former high school teacher, I certainly think it’s important to get a good education. However, Buffalo Bill

had very little time for that. He was simply too restless, and perhaps too adventurous. He needed to get going, get exploring. Therefore, at the ripe old age of 11, he took a job as an ox team driver, at 12 he became an assistant wagon master, at 13 he was looking for gold in Pikes Peak, and by 14 he was one of the youngest pony express riders ever. He certainly got around. As many of you may already know, he eventually toured the country with his very popular “Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show,” and he even took this show to Europe. However, his trusting nature and lack of formal education seem to have played a large part in his later demise, for although he accumulated quite a fortune with his show, he ended up deeply in debt, and eventually he had to sell his Nebraska home, Scout’s Rest, which he’d built in North Platte as a place to relax, entertain friends, and spend time with his family between the show tours. In 1917, he died while at his sister’s home in Denver. On my most recent trip to Nebraska, I visited Buffalo Bill’s home, Scout’s Rest. It’s now located within

the 233-acre Buffalo Bill Ranch State Historical Park, and it’s still quite a showpiece, for it has been restored and contains many of his original possessions. When it was built in 1886, Bill wanted it to be “special,” for he liked to entertain politicians, army officers, businessmen, and show business people here, and the property is still well cared for and beautiful. It includes his barn where he kept horses, vegetable cellar, ice house, and a cabin with a sod roof. The park now offers picnicking, hiking, camping, and tours of the property. I also checked out North Platte’s Cody Park, the city’s largest, for it’s named after William F. Cody, and it was the site of Buffalo Bill’s original Wild West Show. It’s now a great family destination, for it has several rides for children, animals for them to pet, and a great ice cream stand that reportedly sells over 100,000 ice cream cones each year. There’s also a small railroad museum and a Wild

A T-shirt found in the Fort Cody Trading Post.

West Memorial there. Another required stop for any Buffalo Bill aficionado is at North Platte’s Fort Cody Trading Post, Nebraska’s largest souvenir and gift shop. Travel + Leisure magazine once said that it was one of the “kitschiest roadside attractions in America.” I found it was so tacky that it was actually compelling, and it’s the place to browse through a lot of cowboy gear and Buffalo Bill memorabilia. There’s also quite a variety of other items for sale there, too, including such bizarre items as candy-covered ants and candy-covered worms. On the outside, Fort Cody is a replica of a fort from the 1800s, with a gigantic Buffalo Bill statue and even some wooden cutouts of soldiers guarding the fort; one is even seen with an arrow in his backside. Inside, along with all the strange paraphernalia and souvenir items, there’s also a display of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, in miniature, which includes about 20,000 wooden figures. When I’m in such an obvious souvenir shop as Fort Cody Trading Post is, I enjoy reading the somewhat crazy, unusual signs I find for sale. This place was a real “goldmine,” for there were some dandies, such as a warning sign that read “No Trespassing. Violators Will Be Shot. Survivors Will Be Shot Again!” Yes, the attitude to guns can be a bit different in America’s “Wild West.” Another sign there told about the three kinds of men who existed: “Some Learn By Reading. A Few Learn By Observation. The Rest Of Them Have To Pee On The Electric Fence!” Yet another one read: “If Mom Ain’t Happy, Ain’t Nobody Happy!” Finally, there was one with advice for the teenager: “If You Are Tired Of Being Hassled By Unreasonable Parents, Now Is The Time For Action! Leave Home And Pay Your Own Way While You Still Know Everything!” Words of wisdom in Buffalo Bill territory. For more information <www. visitnorthplatte.com>.

LIFESTYLES

The Good Earth: Lifestyles - One of these things is not like the others. In fact, none of these things is like any of the other things. That was the thought running through my mind as I stood in front of a particular “garden” at Canada Blooms. There were almost 30 distinct Feature Gardens at this year’s event and each was unique to itself. The designers and the builders exemplify the high standards and quality that is possible within the landscape industry. The theme for the 2015 edition was, “Let’s Play.” Play can be interpreted in many ways and each of the gardens showed how differently those meanings could be realised. A first interpretation might be a playground for kids and the Bienenstock folk are world famous for this. They are experts at creating natural playgrounds

Empire Rockfest to feature all-Canadian lineup By Stephen Petrick

Entertainment - Belleville The Empire Rockfest is getting patriotic The annual outdoor music festival in Belleville has been renamed The Great Canadian Empire Rockfest for its 2015 edition, as all major acts on the lineup will be Canucks. The event starts on Thursday, July 23, when alternative rock band Hedley headlines the show. The Friday, July 24, performance features Blue Rodeo and former Great Big Sea frontman Alan Doyle. The festival wraps up on Saturday, July 25, with rock ’n’ roll legend Tom Cochrane as the headliner and Gordie Johnson and Big Sugar as the opener. It all takes place in the parking lot next to the Empire Theatre, dubbed Empire Square, along Front Street in downtown Belleville. The lineup was announced at the Empire Theatre on Thursday, March 12, by theatre owner Mark Rashotte and promoter Andy Forgie. The two wore red and white hockey

sweaters and Forgie opened the announcement with the singing of O Canada. Rashotte said the allCanadian lineup was partly because “we’re pretty patriotic,” but also because of some economic realities. “Because of the Canadian dollar, American bands are a lot more expensive,” he said. The Empire Rockfest has, in the past, drawn some big name American acts, such as Weezer and Stone Temple Pilots. But the all-Canadian lineup didn’t seem to disappoint the dozens of music fans in attendance for the announcement, as they applauded each name as it was dropped. Several free tickets were given out in a draw to fans who attended the announcement. The decision to lure Hedley to Rockfest is in keeping with organizers’ plans to attract a younger generation. Rashotte said a few other bands will likely open for Hedley but they weren’t signed, as of Thursday, so he didn’t want to announce

them yet. All tickets for the Thursday show are $45. There’s no seated area for this show; it’s standing room only. The Saturday show is a nice combo of two performers known for heartfelt music and smooth storytelling. Rashotte said the members of Blue Rodeo and Alan Doyle are all good friends, so fans might expect an interesting jam. Tickets for this show are $55 in the seated section and $35 in the standing-room area. And Rashotte expressed joy at being able to land Cochrane, a Canadian Music Hall of Fame member best known for hits like Life is a Highway and Big League. Gordie Johnson and Big Sugar will add to the experience, he said, as Johnson is known for ultra-loud shows. Tickets for this show are $50 in Empire Theatre owner Mark Rashotte (right) and Andy Forgie stand on the Empire Theatre stage on Thursday evening, where the seated area and $30 in the the lineup for The Great Canadian Empire Rockfest was announced.

Bulls sold, moving to Hamilton

News - Belleville - The Bulls are leaving Belleville. The Ontario Hockey League announced Thursday night that its Board of Governors has approval for the transfer of ownership and relocation of the Belleville Bulls Hockey Club to Hamilton, Ontario. The team, which has been purchased by Michael Andlauer, will be renamed the Hamilton Bulldogs and will play in the OHL’s East Division out of FirstOntario Centre starting in the 2015-2016 season. In a story posted on the OHL’s website commissioner David Branch acknowledged Belleville’s loss. “The Bulls have been a part of the Belleville community for

over thirty years and we respect the role they have played in the community,” said Branch. “It is the OHL’s hope, as with other small cities in our league, that one day, with the right conditions, OHL hockey will return to Belleville.” The Bulls were, until Thursday, owned by Gord Simmonds, a businessman from Uxbridge, Ontario. In an interview with the Belleville News last October, he expressed concern that the Yardmen Arena would not work as an OHL facility over the long term. The team’s lease on the arena expires at the end of this season. Simmonds apparently struck a deal with businessman Michael

Andlauer to return OHL hockey to Hamilton. The city has had several major junior hockey franchises in the past, but none since 1991. While the news was stunning in Belleville, it was celebrated in Hamilton Thursday night. “Michael Andlauer is well known for his commitment to both the game and the community, and we welcome him to the OHL family,” said Branch. “Hamilton has a long and storied history in junior hockey and we look forward to building on this tradition starting next season.” The Bulls have played in Belleville since they were granted OHL expansion in 1981. More details on this story to come.

Sports - Brighton - Sports history was made last week with the first high school provincial championship being played in Brighton. East Northumberland Secondary School (ENSS) along with the Brighton, Trenton and Stirling Curling Clubs played host to some of the best young curlers in the province at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) bonspiel, and, by all accounts, it was a resounding success. After four days of curling competition between 40 high schools from across the province, two teams were left standing as champions. In the boys’ competition, Lockerby Composite School Vikings of Sudbury wrapped up an undefeated week with a 7 - 2 win against Westgate Collegiate and Vocational Institute of Thunder Bay in the gold-medal game of the provincial championship.

Panthers, while Newmarket’s Sacred Heart Catholic High School Crusaders won the boys’ bronze with an 11 - 4 win against the Chatham-Kent Secondary School Golden Hawks. Official Jane McGhee, who spent three days in Stirling before attending Thursday’s final rounds in Brighton, says participants’ curling skills were put to the test over the course of the competition both because teams had to adjust to conditions in more than one rink as well as facing some of the top high school curlers from across the province. Several of the OFSAA competitors had also spent the previous weekend in Stirling taking part in the Ontario Curling Association (OCA) Junior and Bantam provincial qualifier. According to a recent OFSAA study, there are 181 female and 167 male competitive teams in Ontario high schools. “Numbers overall are declining in recent years,” says OFSAA communications co-ordinator Devin Gray. “We’re also seeing a trend where girls play on the boys’ teams, so not all those ‘male teams’ can be translated into a number of total male participants. This also means that some ‘boys’ teams at OFSAA could have as many as two to three girls, while ‘girls’ teams are exclusively comprised of female studentathletes.” Throughout this year’s competition, ENSS curling coach

Township honours long-time firefighter By Bill Freeman

News - Norwood - Township council paid tribute to long-time firefighter Don Patterson during its last regular meeting taking care of some unfinished business that was missed when Patterson retired from the municipality’s fire department after 40 years. The Belleville City firefighter moved to Asphodel Township in 1974 and joined the volunteer fire and rescue service rising to the post of Deputy Chief alongside Chief Alex Wilson. When Asphodel Township and the Village of Norwood amalgamated in 1998, Patterson continued on with the newly formed Asphodel-Norwood Fire and Rescue Service. He retired from the Asphodel-Norwood Mayor Terry Low (left) presents firefighter Don Patterson with a special certificate township’s fire department of appreciation recognizing the 40 years of service to local firefighting in both the former Asphodel in January, 2014, and has since moved to Selwyn Township and Asphodel-Norwood.

Entertainment - Quinte West - The life and poetry of Al Purdy will be celebrated at the Old Church Theatre in Johnstown on March 27 and 28. The highly acclaimed Canadian poet travelled the world during his lifetime but was intimately familiar with the places he called home, whether Trenton, Ameliasburgh or points further east and west. His story is told in the Dave Carley play Al Purdy at the Quinte Hotel, which will be staged on Friday and Saturday evening, with a portion of proceeds going to the Al Purdy A-Frame Association. The one-man play, performed by local actor and writer Richard Turtle, is set in a local drinking establishment and includes several of Purdy’s most recognized works as well as those written in and around Hastings and Prince Edward counties. For full details or ticket information, contact the Old Church Theatre at 613392-9212 or visit them on the Internet.

selflessness. “Don was one who shares his knowledge and experience with people around him [and] he still mentors firefighters and officers,” he said. “We really appreciate what you’ve done for us.” For his part Patterson said it had been an honour “to serve all these years

with all these guys” both in Asphodel and AsphodelNorwood. The fire and rescue service is much better today than it was 40 years ago when he started in terms of both training and equipment, he emphasized. “The department right now is second to none as far as fire departments go.”

No Hockeyville title or $100,000 for Campbellford–this year By John Campbell

Sports - Campbellford Maybe the third time will be the charm. Amy-Jo Doherty is hoping so after the community effort she led to have Campbellford chosen Kraft Hockeyville 2015 failed to qualify for the first round of voting last Saturday. “I’m disappointed but I’m thrilled, compared to the last time we tried,” Doherty said Monday. Campbellford did much better this time than in 2008, collecting the third highest number of nominations in Ontario, with 36, Doherty said, “so our voices were heard.” The town trailed only Chatham and Haliburton, both of which made the competition’s Top 10 communities for all of Canada. “We’ve got nothing to be ashamed of,” she said. “It was a great run.” Doherty and her supporters had set their sights on winning $100,000 that goes along with being named Kraft Hockeyville, and using

the money to fix up the Campbellford arena, now almost 50 years old, or to put it toward building a new one. The enthusiastic response her latest campaign received has strengthened her resolve to try yet again, in 2016. “I think we’re probably going to start even earlier next year,” she said. Doherty said, “It was nice it got everyone talking about the arena” and the urgency that something be done. “We’re going to have to fix what we’ve got right now; we’re not going to be able to build a brand new one right away.” There was a power outage at the rink last week but when power was restored, the machine that makes ice wasn’t working, which put a crimp in the schedule for public skating and exhibition hockey games. Doherty praised arena staff for “working around the clock” to rectify the situation, but not before “about an inch of ice” was lost between Wednesday and Thursday. About 100 people showed up at the arena around 6

p.m. and later March 14 for the special two-hour event Doherty and her committee had organized as a lead-up to the announcement of the Top 10 communities on Hockey Night in Canada. The expectation was that the communities would be named during the game’s first intermission, just as the public event was drawing to an end. But then more bad news, actually a prelude for what was to follow: the announcement was changed from 7:45 to 10:45 p.m. “I guess they did it to accommodate the Western provinces,” where five of the ten finalists were to be chosen, Doherty said. She is certain that Campbellford was among the contenders for inclusion in the first of two voting rounds. “I know that we were looked quite strongly at” by officials with the competition, Doherty said; in the days leading up to last Saturday’s announcement, they asked for a considerable amount of detail about the arena and community, she explained.

She extended “a huge thank-you” to the Campbellford-Seymour Community Foundation for providing its 12-foot screen to show the hockey game as well as the music video Doherty had prepared from the nominations entered for Campbellford. A “lot of good” came out of the entire endeavour, she said. “One of the best parts was seeing people get some pride again in ‘the barn’ and in Campbellford. We got everyone talking and, hopefully, as a community we all come on board again next year.” Doherty, who was “so discouraged” by the results of her first attempt at garnering a Kraft Hockeyville title for Campbellford that she let several years pass before trying again, is already looking forward to the next campaign. And “rest assured, we won’t change the hashtag”– #KHV_ice4cford–“now that we’ve got everyone trained,” Doherty said.

Something for everyone at Proms concert Entertainment - Belleville - If there’s such a thing as a concert program with “something for everyone” then the Quinte Symphony’s March 22 concert, Last Night of the Proms, should

fill the bill. Designed as a festival of popular British music, the symphony, under the direction of Gordon Craig, with Kim Dafoe as soloist, will span

popular ballads, Gilbert and Sullivan selections, and classic light music, including Overture to the Royal Fireworks Suite by Handel and the beloved Nimrod variation from Elgar’s Enigma

Variations. Other works will include A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square and White Cliffs of Dover. One of the orchestra’s own musicians, local resident Andrew Farmer, will be represented with his original work, Pizzicato Holiday, in its premiere performance. The audience is expected to participate on songs such as Land of Hope and Glory, the chorus for Rule Britannia and the hymn, Jerusalem. Also,

many will dress up in colourful costumes or wear or wave flags. Centennial Secondary School auditorium will be festooned with colourful flags to help set the tone for the 2 p.m. concert. This tradition, established years ago in London, England, has become one of the orchestra’s favourite repeat concerts over the years, drawing large crowds. Tickets, available at the door, are $20 for adults, $15 for seniors and $10 for students. Children

will be admitted free. Tickets in advance are also available at the Quinte Arts Council Office, Quinte Mall Sam the Record Man and online at: <info@ quintesymphony.com>. Kim Dafoe, soloist for this concert, has earned thousands of fans in the region with her rich, mezzo soprano voice. A homegrown talent, she comes from Tweed and has also become a regular at the world class Westben Concert Hall as a soloist and choir leader. ! ! !
