A helping hand for the CNIB
By Kate Everson
News – Quinte West – Municipal staff have faced “a number of challenges in putting together” a budget that forecasts a 6.7 per cent, or $3.6 million, increase in spending this year, says the director of corporate and financial services. “There are a number of factors for this increase,” David Clazie said. “Winter control, policing costs, external agencies, salaries and benefits.” He said it is important to note that a 6.7 per cent increase in overall city expenditures does not mean there will be an equivalent increase in the tax rate. “The city has a number of ways to offset some of these increases,” Clazie said. He estimated the total tax increase for property owners will be 1.9 per cent on average; Trenton, Sidney and Murray wards will go up by 1.98 per cent and Frankford by .67 per cent. The first major increase in expenditures the city will incur in 2014 is in winter control. Staff are proposing an increase of $1.27 million. It breaks down as sand and salt at $700,000, fuel at $150,000, cold patch potholes at $120,000, overtime at $50,000 and equipment repairs at $250,000. Please see “City” page 2

News – Quinte West – A consultant’s review of the city’s transportation has yielded several ideas for the future. “Both DJ MacDonald and Veterans Skyway Bridges are key areas of congestion,” Chris Tam of MMM Group said at the public works committee meeting. “Wallbridge-Loyalist Road south of the 401 is at capacity and experiences congestion at its afternoon peak. Sidney Street experiences moderate levels of congestion.” He said there is public support for developing a city-wide active transportation network (including pedestrian walkways and trails) and improving transit services. Major recommendations included: - coordination of traffic signals on Dundas Street from RCAF Road to Wooler Road to improve traffic flow along the corridor. - a comprehensive study on handling additional
onstructall C Granite
traffic across the Trent River. The widening of Dixon Drive or the DJ MacDonald bridge to four lanes, or adding a third crossing, should be explored. - an environmental assessment on widening Wallbridge-Loyalist Road. - further study into a comprehensive trails and active transportation master plan, linking existing trail networks. Tam suggested that over the long term a more detailed study be done on how to provide additional roadway capacity to connect Trenton to the 401, which could include extending Sidney Street or widening Wooler Road. MMM Group was retained by the city to provide a high-level review with a 20-year vision of the transportation network needed for the city. The public process involved an online questionnaire and two public information centres. Work on the master plan was carried out from March 2013 to March 2014.

“Since the winter of 2014 has been an exceptional year, staff are not expecting these kind of increases to be required next year,” Clazie said. “We are recommending using our winter control reserve to offset some of these increases.” Salaries and benefits, materials and supplies, and contracted services are on the rise by $1,040,000. “Salaries and benefits alone have increased by $590,000,” Clazie said. “The hiring of a new deputy fire chief adds $130,000.” Policing costs are going up significantly as well, by $675,000. The city’s contract with the provincial police force will increase by seven per cent, due to a three-year wage freeze on OPP personnel coming to an end. Clazie said the province is currently reviewing how the OPP bills for policing services across Ontario This could result in savings and help offset the full value of the increase for 2014. Staff have proposed taking $675,000 from the city’s $2 million policing reserve to cover the increase this year, on the premise that policing costs should be lower in 2015. The city’s external agencies will add $289,000 to the tax bill. They include the health unit, library, long-term care, Bay of Quinte Tourism, Bay of Quinte Living, MPAC, conservation authorities, chamber of commerce, and Quinte Economic Development Commission. The city’s insurance costs are up, by $60,000, as they are for waste management ($50,000 more for the organics program and an additional $40,000 for recycling). Clazie noted there are new revenues coming in, such as a three per cent increase in user fees, which will bring in an extra $35,000 in 2014. Parking revenues are expected to increase by $15,000, while building permits and entrance permits are projected to yield an additional $10,000 apiece. The Frankford Solar farm on top of the arena is projected to add $180,000 in new revenues for the city, which will help pay off the debt of $1.6 million that was incurred to install the panels.

15 city employees earned more than $100,000 last year In contrast, Quinte West’s 12 councillors each took home a salary of $17,350 plus expenses from various meetings, conferences, parking and mileage. The mayor’s salary was $45,686 with no mileage paid out. The Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act, passed in 1996, is intended to make Ontario’s public sector more open and accountable to taxpayers. The sums paid to members of various boards is also a matter of public record: D. Phillips ($825), Harm Zylstra ($675), Paul Lafferty ($750) and William Vandervoort ($600). Members of the Quinte West Police Services Board -- Ken Rose, Ted Reid, Mike Mason and councillors Jim Alyea and Ron Hamilton -- each collected $3,334 for the year.
Master Plan focuses on transportation network Continued from page 1
Councillor Jim Alyea noted the waterfront trail runs down County Road 64 now with various cycling trails in the county. “It’s heavily used in the summer,â€? he said. Tam said coordination of trafďŹ c signals will decrease travel time considerably. “That would be a huge change for a few lights,â€? Mayor John Williams observed. Quinte West director public works and environmental services Chris Angelo said the lights are on a ďŹ xed-time signal or on a loop which could be synchronized along the corridor.
Councillor Fred Kuypers asked what they would do with all the trafďŹ c if they widened the bridge. Tam said Dixon Road coming off the bridge would also be widened. Councillor Don Kuntze asked what was the cost of the study. Manager of engineering Tim Colasante said it was $76,000. “We don’t want to spend that kind of money to get people out of the city,â€? Kuypers responded. “We want to keep them here!â€? Williams asked about congestion on Gilmour

OPP costs explained to police services board By Kate Everson
News – Quinte West – OPP Superintendent Rick Philbin sent a video message to Quinte West Police Services Board Monday to explain the new model that’s being proposed to pay for policing. “We want to set the record straight,” he said, noting the change in billing is not sitting well with all of Ontario’s 324 municipalities, although they have expressed a high level of satisfaction with OPP services they receive. “There have been significant variations in the
municipalities,” Philbin said. “Some bills have been lowered and others raised.” He said this will create greater fairness and a more equitable situation. Board chair Jim Alyea said there is a great concern among the smaller municipalities, some of which will see their costs double. “For us, it’s a reduction,” he said. “There are winners and losers.” David Clazie, director of finance, said the costs depend partly on the calls for service and the types of calls. He said
Quinte West’s costs will be down next year when the new costing formula takes effect. This year they will use some police reserves to cover the contract. He estimated the cost per household is about $600. Alyea said the end of the freeze on police wages will hit municipalities hard this year. “Costs are up,” he said, “but that is the cost of doing business.” Quinte West’s contract with the OPP is $10,333,400 for 2014. Clazie noted that revenues
from provincial offence fine collections are down and the trend points toward a decrease in the number of tickets this year. Ken Rose asked if staff are still trying to collect outstanding fines. Clazie said they are working with Hastings County and Belleville to put the fines on the tax bill, but these are only specific to the owner of property. Alyea noted they can collect fees when people renew their drivers’ licences. “Billions are owed,” he said. “This could help fund policing costs.” Clazie said it could amount to half a million dollars a year on average. “That’s a nice lump sum for our reserves,” Rose commented. Clazie said there is currently $2 million in
reserves and by the end of 2014 the municipality will still have about $1.5 million. “This has helped us with community policing, all going back to the community,” Alyea said. “It is not used in frivolous ways.”
“Some bills have been lowered and others raised.” Clazie confirmed the money is only used for policing, such as closed-circuit television camera installation, and to offset the costs of adding two new sergeants. Alyea added it also helped the Quinte West Youth Centre, which ultimately is a deterrent against crime.

Loyalist Decorative Painters make memory boxes for lost children By Kate Everson
News – Carrying Place – A group of painters who meet at the United Church hall in Carrying Place once a month have adopted a special project. The Loyalist Decorative Painters make hand-painted memory boxes to give to families who have lost a child. “We distribute them through the hospitals,” says coordinator Noreen Welsh. “We hope it brings some comfort to the families.” The guild has also donated to several local charities through fundraisers, making up painting kits for children through the White Oaks Foundation and donating to Garrett’s Island for children with cancer. New members are encouraged to join the group, which meets the second Wednesday of each month. “We have painters from Belleville, Trenton, Prince Edward County, Brighton, Colborne and all places in between,” says Welsh. “They are all involved in our quest to inform, learn and try new mediums of every sort without putting up a lot of funds in order to experiment with those mediums.” The next meeting at the Carrying Place United Church is April 9 at 6:30 p.m. “We are encouraging anyone with an interest in art to come out to our meetings,” Welsh says. “We meet at 6:30 for coffee and a social time, then start the meeting at 7.” The artists bring their own supplies for their preferred media, from acrylics to pastels. “The objective of the guild is to provide a meeting ground for those who are interested in painting in any media,” Welsh says. “We also hope to upgrade painting skills through education and communication.” The idea for the guild came from a “Great Canadian Paint-In” held in Ottawa in 1995. “We decided we needed a guild in the Quinte area,” Welsh says. “We started having meetings in homes and local churches. “Education is the focus of our guild,” she notes. “We have had several wellknown painters come and speak.” One of their upcoming projects is a two-day seminar at the Brighton Community Centre on April 26 and 27 teaching acrylic design and coloured pencil by Joann McLean. Members are hoping for a good turnout in April. The cost is $75 for the seminar. Call Noreen Welsh at 613475-2005 for more information or visit www.freewebs.com/ldpg/ or email rwelsh12@cogeco.ca

Be glad Canada’s foreign policy doesn’t rely on giving hugs
Dear Editor, Re; Kate’s Dreams (March 13, 2014) In the opening of Ms. Everson’s editorial, she muses, “I haven’t been asked to write an editorial since I worked for the Community Press many years ago”. After reading her latest foray into the editorial world, that fact somehow seems far less mysterious. Editorials are, of course, opinion pieces, generally meant to influence rather than inform. I should, however, give Ms Everson credit for answering a question that has been nagging me for quite some time, “Justin Trudeau, who would vote for that buffoon?” It does strike me as curious though that she would commend PM Harper for taking a stand against Russia’s incursion into the Ukraine and proceed to implicitly endorse Trudeau, presumably blissfully unaware of Justin’s latest gaffe on that very topic. You wear that Trudeau pin on your lapel proudly, Ms. Everson. As comedian Bill Engvall would say, “Here’s your sign.” Ms. Everson rather clumsily claims “I do believe in equality of the sexes” when the basis of her editorial is that women are inherently good – “by nature nurturers. We care when someone is hurting. We don’t count
the change in our purse and look the other way” – while men are inherently evil, prone to “greed and posturing.” Ms. Everson is, perhaps unwittingly, espousing gender equity, not equality. She is not campaigning for equality in family courts, or for equality in criminal court sentencing (women routinely receive far lighter sentences compared to their male counterparts), rather a cut-andpaste equality. Her vision of equality is not a “separate but equal” status, but a “same, only different” situation where women are assured gender equity with extra credit given for their inherent virtues. To answer Ms. Everson’s closing question,
“I can dream can’t I?”, yes, Kate, you can. But when you are drifting off to sleep, counting unicorns and rainbows, be thankful that with the plethora of global threats facing this country, Mr. Harper’s foreign policy does not consist of reaching out a hand and saying “Come here, let’s have a hug.” No, Ms. Everson, between all his “greed and posturing,” our PM actually finds time to address global threats, supported by world-class armed forces (where women are also “severely underrepresented”). Sleep safe, and dream away, Kate… Francis MacDonald Trenton
Marking the end of our mission in Afghanistan Dear Editor, Canada’s flag was lowered in Kabul this month, drawing Canada’s military mission in Afghanistan to a close as our troops began their final journey home. All Canadians extend our appreciation and thanks to the brave women and men of the Canadian Armed Forces and the RMCP, as well as the public servants and civilians who served valiantly in Afghanistan. We also owe a great debt of gratitude to the families who supported their loved ones during deployments. All those who served have made enormous sacrifices during Canada’s largest military deployment since the Second World War. Canadian women and men carried out their duties with the utmost professionalism and distinction. We are immensely proud and grateful of their service to enhance peace,
stability, and hope in a troubled region of the world. Most importantly, we remember those individuals—both military and civilian—who made the ultimate sacrifice during the mission. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and loved ones of the 158 Canadian soldiers, civilian consultants, diplomat, and a journalist who lost their lives in the line of duty. We also remember those who were injured and will forever bear the scars, physical and invisible, of their service. While Canada’s mission may have ended, our responsibilities do not. As a country, we must take the best possible care of all those who have returned from Afghanistan. Yours sincerely, Joyce Murray, MP Liberal Party of Canada Defence Critic
Correction Jill Detlor is not a naturopathic doctor as was stated in an article that ran in last week’s Quinte West News. She is a registered nutritional consulting practitioner. Further, while Kate Jaehn-Kreibaum is feeling better, she is not yet healthy, as she is still taking medication for her rheumatoid arthritis, said her father, Christian Jaehn-
Kreibaum,. However, “following the recommendations from Dr. Jason Lee she no longer suffers from debilitating and painful heartburn and acid-reflux. Our goal in the near future is to have her without any medications under the guidance of Dr. Lee.” We apologize for the errors.

Afghanistan: Mission Not Accomplished
Editorial - Britain’s Prime Minister David Cameron rambled a bit on his visit to Afghanistan last December, but ended up sounding just as deluded as U.S. President George W Bush had been when he proclaimed “Mission accomplished” six weeks after the invasion of Iraq. British troops were sent to Afghanistan, Cameron said, “so it doesn’t become a haven for terror. That is the mission ... and I think we will Gwynne Dyer have accomplished that mission.” Prime Minister Stephen Harper was equally upbeat when addressing Canadian troops just before they pulled out in 2011. Afghanistan no longer represents a “geostrategic risk to the world (and) is no longer a source of global terrorism,” he said. Both men are technically correct, since Afghanistan never was a “geostrategic risk to the world” or “a haven for terror,” but they must both know that the whole war was really a pointless waste of lives. Obviously, neither man can afford to say that the soldiers who died in obedience to the orders of their government (448 British troops, 158 Canadians) died in vain, but President Barack Obama has found a better way to address the dilemma: He just doesn’t offer any assessment of the campaign’s success. “I never doubted Obama’s support for the troops, only his support for their mission,” wrote former Defence Secretary Robert Gates, and he was right. Now there’s another “election” coming up in Afghanistan (on April 5), and at least three-quarters of the remaining fo ill be gone from the country by the end of this year, and the whole thing is getting ready to fall apart. This will pose no threat to the rest of the world, but it’s going to be deeply embarrassing for the Western leaders who nailed their flags to this particular mast. The election is to replace President Hamid Karzai, who has served two full terms and cannot run again. It will be at least as crooked as the last one in 2009: 20.7 million voters
cards have already been distributed in a country where there are only 13.5 million people over the age of 18. Karzai is so confident of remaining the power behind the throne that he is building his “retirement” residence next to the presidential palace, but he’s probably wrong. It’s not that the Taliban will sweep back to power all over Afghanistan once Western troops leave. They really only controlled the Pashtun-majority areas of the east and south and the area around the capital even when they were “in power” in 1996-2001, while the Tajiks, Uzbeks and Hazaras of the “Northern Alliance” ruled the rest. That pattern is likely to reappear, with the Taliban and the northern warlords pushing politicians like Karzai aside – probably not at once, when most or all of the Western troops go home at the end of this year, but a while later, when the flow of aid (which accounts for 97 per cent of Afghan government spending) finally stops. The new part-Taliban Afghanistan that emerges will be no more a source of international terrorism than the old partTaliban Afghanistan was. It was Osama bin Laden and his merry men, mostly Arabs and a few Pakistanis, who plotted and carried out the 9/11 attacks, not the Taliban. True, bin Laden et al. were guests on Afghan soil at the time, but it is highly unlikely that they told the Taliban about the attacks in advance. After all, they were probably going to get their hosts’ country invaded by the United States; best not to bring it up. And there have been no international terrorist attacks coming out of Afghanistan in the past eight years, although the Taliban already control a fair chunk of the country. The election will unfold as Karzai wishes, and his preferred candidate (exactly who is still not clear) will probably emerge as the new president, but this truly is a case of rearranging the deck-chairs on the Titanic. The second long foreign occupation of Afghanistan in half a century is drawing to a close, and Afghanistan’s own politics and history are about to resume. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Another black mark added to the Liberal legacy Dear Editor In a province that most people believe operates with democratic principles in place, how is it possible that the Liberal government is still in power in Ontario? The Liberals have been insulting citizens for the past 10 years with a continuing series of scandals and corrupt decisions. This includes passage of the Green Energy Act, which allows the government to use your tax dollars to subsidize the building of wind turbines and solar power development without requiring building approval. The ordinary citizen needs approval for even minor improvements to their own property but the Dalton McGuinty government passed green energy by deliberately ignoring basic fundamental regulations. This decision, of course, has resulted in doubling your energy costs from Hydro One. Even though the McGuinty/Wynne Liberals have been a disaster for Ontario, the left continues to sing the same old song. How can we possibly trust a Tim Hudak Conservative government? If the Liberals have been a disaster and the NDP has helped them stay in power, it stands to reason that the Conservatives deserve a chance to form majority control. My question is how is it not possible to do anything but improve the situation over the Liberals, which has plunged Ontario into the worst deficit situation in history, and has ar-

rogantly ignored the trust of the taxpayers for the past decade. The latest Liberal outrage seems to be against rural Ontario in the City of Kawartha Lakes, with the province’s attempted imposition of wind turbines despite strong opposition from the residents. The Manvers Wind Concern group claims the wind industry is dictating terms to the province instead of the other way around. The province’s decision to override zoning bylaws is now catching up to them. An example is the Cham Shan Temple, an investment of $100 million by the Buddhist community in Cavan-Millbrook Township. The four temples have been in the planning stages for 20 years, the project has been cleared by zoning laws and construction is already underway. At least one turbine would be in close proximity to the Buddhist sanctuary. So investors now say they will not build the last three temples if the turbine goes forward, which would mean a $60 million loss to the community. It’s just one more catastrophe added to the legacy of a Liberal government which has unquestionably earned its legacy as the worst political leadership administration in provincial history.

Wise decision to spend on waterway By John Campbell Editorial - The Trent-Severn Waterway is a “jewel,” as Oshawa MP and parliamentary secretary to the federal minister of environment Dr. Colin Carrie said last Friday. Its value is immense, but unlike a precious gem, it’s not anywhere near as durable. Age, use and the elements relentlessly eat away at its physical infrastructure. It’s a situation not to be underestimated, as was touched upon in a report on the future of the Trent-Severn Waterway that was submitted to the federal government in 2008. The report was written by a special panel whose mandate was to “recommend a new vision for the waterway that will ensure its long-term effectiveness and sustainability and optimize the full range of contributions that it makes to Canada and Central Ontario.” The report noted the system’s deterioration due to age and said it would cost in excess of $1.4 billion to replace its more than 1,500 assets over time. “It is estimated that essential maintenance and recapitalization over the next 15-20 years will require hundreds of millions of dollars,” the panel stated. Getting that kind of commitment was a pipe dream then and the prospect of the requisite funding ever being realized only grew more illusory in the years that followed as the federal government instituted cutbacks to rein in rising costs across all departments. The panel cited estimates that the waterway, at the time, was spending little more than $10 million a year to maintain and replace built assets. According to Treasury Board guidelines, that was about $46 million short of what was needed annually to get the necessary work done. The panel recognized, however, that while an annual investment of $56 million for infrastructure preservation is “an admirable target,” it suggested as one of its 26 recommendations a more realistic figure of $21 million per year be phased in, starting immediately. The federal government’s response was to commit $83 million to the renewal of the waterway’s infrastructure over the next five years. Last week, Parks Canada stepped up its support for the Trent-Severn with Carrie’s announcement that $58 million over two years had been allocated to major capital projects and ongoing preventative maintenance along the waterway and Rideau Canal. That’s in addition to $391.5 million the federal government had set aside in the 2014 Economic Action Plan for highways, bridges and dams in national parks and along historic canals. Clearly, Ottawa has stepped up its game and recognized that a jewel can depreciate when insufficient attention is paid to keeping up its value, and for that it is to be congratulated, even though the allocation is well short of what admittedly is an ideal level. The challenge still to be met has to do with the changes the Trent-Severn introduced last year in its operations. Staffing cuts forced upon the waterway by its political masters intent on slaying the deficit dragon resulted in a reduction of service. The hours of operation were shortened and boaters often found themselves having to wait to be passed through the system because of the switch from on-demand lockages to scheduled times. The change was to accommodate mobile crews who handled up to three lock stations, and had to travel to each by vehicle to let the boats go through. Complaints from the boating community escalated. They had nothing to do with the performance of staff but the straitened circumstances they were placed in. The Trent-Severn did fine-tune its operations as the season wore on and learned some lessons, which the waterway would be wise to remember when the system re-opens for business in May. The success or failure of the national historic site to respond to the demands of the people it serves, on land and on water, also directly affects the economic health of the communities and businesses that lie along the waterway. Last week’s funding announcement should lessen somewhat the vigour of the attacks directed at the waterway by its critics, seeing as the money being provided for capital and maintenance work is a record amount. That suggests the federal government has acknowledged there’s work to be done on a scale it wasn’t prepared to undertake in recent years. It’s a commitment that will need to be renewed in two years if the current investment is to have any lasting effect. As Carrie, the minister of environment’s parliamentary secretary noted, “the Trent-Severn is like a chain, it’s only as strong as its weakest link.”

Last crew arrives home to 8 Wing from Afghanistan
Need a Mailbox? GET 3 MONTHS FREE!
News – Quinte West - The last CC-177 to fly troops home from Afghanistan arrived at 8 Wing Trenton on Tuesday after dropping off 100 troops in Ottawa. The crew was welcomed home by 429 Transport Squadron Commanding Officer Lt-Colonel Jean Maisonneuve and other members of the squadron, along with Prince Edward-Hastings MP Daryl Kramp, representing Minister of National Defence Robert Nicholson. 429 “Bison” Transport Squadron had been an integral contributor to the mission in Afghanistan since January 2002 when it participated as part of Operation Apollo, the first Canadian deployment in the campaign against terrorism. Between January and August 2002, the CC-130 Hercules Tactical Airlift Detachment (TAL Det) logged in excess of 1,800 operational flying hours on more than 320 missions in the Arabian Gulf Region. During that same period the Squadron helped to deliver two million kilograms of cargo and 3,700 passengers to destinations in the theatre of operations in support of coalition forces.

into Kandahar occurred in 2003. 429 Squadron successfully delivered 30,000 pounds of material to a bombed-out 3,900-foot-long runway under direct small arms and rocket fire. With the introduction of the CC-177 Globemaster III in 2007, 429 Squadron’s role expanded to providing the critical air bridge between Canada and Afghanistan with regular sustainment flights in support of operations. Critical to the success of the war effort, 429 Squadron flew 746 missions totalling close to 17,000 hours of flight. Combined, these missions saw the successful delivery of 32,000 troops and 65 million pounds of freight to Kabul, Kandahar and Bagram airfields in direct support of coalition forces. Not since the Korean War has Canada taken part in combat resupply operations. From 2007 to today, 429 Squadron has deployed hundreds of individuals totalling 18,937 person-days and 541 missions. In addition to the 541 missions, the Squadron has also conducted 285 sustainment flights. Each flight involved a crew of six and took an average seven to10 days to comp

Water and wastewater operating budgets outlined By Kate Everson
News – Quinte West – Director of corporate and financial services David Clazie has spelled out where increases will take place in the municipality’s water and wastewater operating budgets this year. Revenues in the $5.6 million water operations budget “are projected to increase by about $385,000 due to an approved rate increase effective Jan.1, 2014,” Clazie said.
Water administration costs will go up by $433,000 as a result of debt incurred for capital projects and increased salary and benefits. Water treatment plant expenditures are expected to rise by $79,050 due mainly to electrical and mechanical contracted services and projected staff costs. Water distribution will decrease by $72,500 from reallocated costs. Water meter service will increase by $22,800 due to inflation and some costs in contracted services
for meter replacements. Money for vehicles and equipment in the water and sewer fleets will increase by $204,600, Clazie said. The $4.8 million sewer operations budget forecasts a rate increase will boost revenues by $485,000. Debt owed on capital project and higher salaries and benefits will add $460,710 to sewer administration costs. “The city continues to focus on pursuing funding for the $71.5 million for
the Trenton wastewater treatment plant project and associated infrastructure works,” Clazie said. “Council may need to revisit the rate structure in the upcoming years if two-thirds funding is not secured for the project.” Significant upgrades are needed to extend the life of the 40-year-old treatment plant. Discharges to the Bay of Quinte were identified as an Area of Concern under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement.
“The treatment process cannot produce a non-toxic effluent that meets the Fisheries Act or current MOE (Ministry of Environment) policy for level of treatment (ammonia),” he added. Clazie noted that 80 per cent of the city’s wastewater flows through a single trunk sewer, more than 50 years old, that crosses the Trent River. The sewer is operating at peak capacity and has no backup in case of failure, he said.
City deals with Source Protection education and outreach come.” Tracey also reported on water and wastewater services, saying the city is doing well in compliance with MOE standards. “There were only a few hiccups in the storms,” he said. “The staff has the tools and we are seeing significant cost savings.” He added they are still fine-tuning the Frankford wastewater treatment plant. Manager of engineering Tim Colasante reported on the progress of capital works, saying some roads will have to wait until spring before work can begin on them. Quinte West director public works and environmental services Chris Angelo added that snow in April could delay some projects and they might have to re-arrange their priorities. “Huffman Road may be put off because of priorities on other roads,” he said. “We have to consult with planning and the developers before we go ahead.”
Arts Quinte West moving forward he is best known for his depictions of North American wildlife. His work can be seen online at timberwolfgallery.ca. The AGM will continue with a recap of the past year’s activities and planning for the future. Of primary importance is the election of a new board of directors; after many years of volunteering with the organization, a number of long-time board members are moving on. “We have had a dedicated group of members who have worked hard to bring Arts Quinte West to this point,” said president Anne Pennington. “While we’re sorry to see them go we are looking forward to the ideas and energy that a new board can bring to the group. Board members do not have to be artists or members of Arts Quinte West.
In fact, we would welcome interest from members of the business community to bring their knowledge and experience to help build for the future.” Work by Arts Quinte West members can be seen in a number of locations around Trenton and Frankford, including Quinte West City Hall, the Quinte West Medical Centre, the offices of MP Rick Norlock and MPP Rob Milligan, and the Frankford Public Library. Their newest location is at the Ramada Inn on Sidney Street where artwork is displayed in the main floor lobby and restaurant.

“It is expected the plan will be approved by the Minister of the Environment early in 2014 and the city will have five years to implement the Risk Management Plans with landowners,” Tracey told the public works committee. Councillor Jim Alyea asked about land acquisitions in high threat areas. Tracey said this will be done on an ongoing basis. Councillor Don Kuntze asked who would contact the people. Tracey said it’s his job as risk management official, working with Lower Trent Conservation. Director of planning and development services Brian Jardine said the properties identified are likely low risk.

News –Quinte West – The city will work with Lower Trent Conservation in developing and implementing a drinking water source plan. Quinte West has been allocated $70,203 from Ontario’s Source Protection Municipal Implementation Fund to cover its costs for this year and next but it “will receive an additional $15,000 if these activities are collaborated with other organizations,” said Matt Tracey, the municipality’s manager of water and wastewater services, and risk management official. It will cost the city $10,000 to partner with the conservation authority. Policies outlined in the Source Protection Plan apply to lands in vulnerable areas surrounding drinking water intakes in Trenton, Frankford and Bayside. Forty-three properties have been identified as posing significant drinking water threats. Many of these are agriculture-related.

10 Quinte West EMC - Thursday, March 20, 2014
Tough winter for OPP on the roads and highways News – Quinte West – Snow and ice this winter have caused havoc on the roads, Quinte West OPP Inspector Mike Reynolds told the police services board. “There have been a number of serious accidents and fatalities,” he said, noting the detachment has been assisting Napanee OPP on Highway 401. Reynolds said the new DVR detour routes signs posted along the highway have been helpful to direct traffic off the 401. “It went well,” he said. Reynolds winter has been brutal across the province. “We have written off 40 cruisers in Ontario,” he said. “They were struck in accident scenes.” Reynolds said the public needs to slow down to avoid collisions. He pointed there have been major pile-ups on the 401. “People are not adjusting their speeds for weather conditions,” he said. “Slow down in rain, fog or snow.” Police have been able to post updates on the East Region Twitter account, which have helped inform the people driving along those routes. “Hopefully, we will get our own account as well,” he said. Reynolds said it was fortunate no cruisers or officers were injured in Quinte West. Total collisions in Quinte West
were up by 34 per cent between 2013 and 2014. In January there were 105 collisions and in February there were 55. On Jan. 29, a huge pileup on the 401 between Trenton and Belleville involved more than 100 vehicles. “It’s been a tough couple of months,” he said. “We
hope there is a downward trend.” Community patrols also have had a hard time this winter on foot where there are no clear sidewalks. “When the sidewalks are full of snow, they have to walk on the road,” Reynolds said. “There is nowhere else to go.”

Quinte Homebuilders Association contributes to community
Belleville - The Quinte Home & Lifestyle Show is such a large event it couldn’t happen on its own; it’s the product of hard work by members of the Quinte Homebuilders Association, a network of professionals that has been contributing to the community for 55 years. The Quinte Homebuilders Association, a chapter of the Ontario and Canadian homebuilders associations, opened in 1959. Twelve years later it held the first Quinte Home & Lifestyle Show. This year’s event, the 43rd in history, runs March 28-30 at the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre in arenas A and B. On Friday, March 28 the show runs from 12 noon to 9 p.m. On Saturday, March 29 the hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. On Sunday, March 30 the show runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. It will feature more than 100 displays and the products and services offered by the vendors will be as diverse of the Quinte Homebuilders Association itself. The association’s membership covers construction companies, plumbers and tradespeople who offer specialized services such as kitchen and bathroom renovations or windows and doors. The membership is also made up of lawyers, accountants and other professionals whose livelihood depends on a healthy home construction or renovation economy, said Brian
Garrard, the owner of Eastern Design Windows and Doors, and the President of the Quinte Homebuilders Association. “We can work together, he said. “The more heads, the more eyes we have, the more things get done.” Garrard said many members join the association for the professional networking opportunities and to receive support in advertising their services. For example, all members have their phone numbers and services listed in a directory. That way if a home builder suddenly needs, say, a plumber, they can look in the directory and find a member nearby. The association also lobbies on behalf of its members on issues that may affect their livelihoods. This could be on issues such as revisions to building codes or, to site a real recent example, Canada Post fees charged to developers, an issue the provincial and national body is watching closely. But another perk of membership is the social aspect, Garrard said. The association holds a monthly dinner meeting, which usually includes a guest speaker that can “entertain or further educate” members on relevant issues. Currently the association boasts about 130 member businesses. The cost for an annual membership is $760.

Garrard said one of the association’s mandates is to keep the price of housing affordable to Canadians, in spite of economic factors that can drive prices up. That’s based on the belief that the housing construction industry almost literally drives Ontario’s economy. So long as people can afford and are willing to pay for home construction or renovations, a whole lot of people will have work. Right now, the local economy seems to be doing fine and the association wants to keep it that way. “We have steady growth. One of the big advantages is CFB Trenton,” Garrard said, noting that the planned expansion of the base is expected to bring in new well-paying jobs – an encouraging sign for the homebuilding industry. And if homebuilders are doing well the community is bound to benefit, especially given the association’s recent history with charity work. In the past, the Quinte Homebuilders Association has donated to the Gleaners Food Bank in Belleville. It also recently co-ordinated the construction of two houses, which were sold with proceeds going to the Belleville General Hospital Foundation, Garrard said. “Two years ago we gave almost half a million dollars between the two houses,” he said. “I can’t imagine how many hundreds of thousands of dollars we’ve put

back into the community through project’s we’ve done.” But the Quinte Home and Lifestyle Show is perhaps the association’s most visible effort. Every year, organizers work hard to offer a diverse amount of displays and activities for the whole family, Garrard said. He noted that this year there will be a chair decorating contents, where members of
different media organization compete to decorate the best Adirondack chair, with the entries being donated to Three Oaks Foundation. And, as usual, prizes will be up for grabs. About $10,000 worth of prizes will be dished out through ballot box draws. It’s all part of an effort to unsure the show maintains its legacy as one of the most popular
and well organized shows in the region. “It’s been told to us by a number of people that this is one of the nicest home shows between Montreal and Toronto,” Garrard said.

Source Protection Plan expected to be approved soon By Kate Everson
News – Quinte West – The Trent Source Protection Plan is expected to be approved this year by the Ministry of the Environment, says Glenda Rodgers, CAO for Lower Trent Conservation. “There is significant work that can be completed in advance of the effective date,” Rodgers told the board last week. Lower Trent Conservation (LTC) works with the Township of Alnwick/Haldimand, Municipality of Brighton, Township of Cramahe, City of Quinte West, Township of StirlingRawdon and Municipality of Trent Hills. “Initiating this work now will enable the municipalities to take full advantage of the Source Protection Municipal Implementation Funds that are being provided for 2014-15,” she said. Each municipality will be eligible for up to $15,000 in collaborative incentive funding. The agreement is for a twoyear period. The proposed annual costs for LTC to assist with implementation and readiness and early actions, including education and outreach, are $15,000 each for Alnwick/ Haldimand, Brighton and Cramahe, $5,000 for Quinte West and $2,000 apiece for Stirling-Rawdon and Trent Hills. Five municipalities have agreed it would be most efficient and cost-effective to have the conservation authority to carry out the responsibilities on their behalf. Source protection program coordinator Andrea Hicks made a presentation to the board on updates to the revised Trent Assessment Report to the Ministry of the Environment. This area includes the Lower Trent, Otonabee-Peterborough, Kawartha-Haliburton and Crowe Valley Protection Areas. A new municipal well for the Keene Heights drinking water system was constructed in 2012, but significant drinking threats were pointed out and a public meeting was held to discuss changes. Rodgers told the board of directors that a 2014 Caring for Our Watershed celebration will be held April 9 at 5 p.m. at the Timber Ridge Golf Course in Brighton. An open house on the management strategy for the Murray Marsh Natural Habitat Area is also scheduled for April 15, from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Codrington Community Centre.

“It will be an opportunity to learn a little about the marsh and help identify any current management issues,” she said. Ewa Bednarczuk, ecology and stewardship specialist, will provide a brief presentation at 6:30 p.m. on “Murray Marsh – the Amazon of the Trent.” LTC also released its 2013 annual report. “As we look back at 2013, it is an opportunity to reflect on the progress we have made since its formation in 1968 – 45 years ago,” Rodgers said. “We have come a long way.” Chair Craig Kerr added that Lower Trent Conservation worked with landowners, school children and municipalities to complete shoreline naturalization projects to protect water quality, reduce shoreline erosion and provide wildlife habitat on public and private lands. “Our goal is still the same – a healthy watershed,” he said.
Motorists caught with radar detectors
Brighton – Two motorists eastbound on Highway 401were stopped by police less than an hour apart Sunday night and found to be in possession of radar detectors. The pair were served provincial offence notices under the Highway Traffic Act for having the devices which warn of speed measuring equipment being used in the area and “interfere” with their “effective operation,” Northumberland OPP said in a news release. David Huawei Li, 37, Nepean, was also charged with failing to surrender an insurance card and Jean Madeline Riding, 43, Kingston, was charged with speeding. Both had their radar detectors seized. The set fine for possession of the devices is $140 (the total payable is $170) and three demerit points attached to the offender's driver's licence.

Loyalist student grad project helps inspire girls
By Kate Everson
News - Belleville - Five graduates from the public relations course at Loyalist College have joined together for a very worthy cause. “We wanted to increase awareness of this program, Girls Inc.,” said Natalie Walt. “It’s all about empowering women.” The ladies held a charity bazaar at the college in the Link Lounge on March 6 to raise awareness and funds for the girls programs. They accepted vendors and donations for the bazaar and took some of the proceeds for their cause. “We tried to get the word out through social media,” said Walt. She said the day went well with lots of interest. “It turned out well,” she said, “This is a onetime thing. We just tried to get awareness of girls’ issues.” Girls Incorporated Limestone, Algonquin and Lakeshore inspires girls to be strong, smart and bold. “We provide mentoring and life-skills education programs for girls,” says executive director Lindsey Belch who was at the bazaar with girls education co-ordinator Tammy Didychuk. The organization was founded as Big Sisters of Kingston in 1972 but has grown to serve more than 1,300 girls each year. It is committed to promoting their social well being through the friendship and guidance of responsible, mature and caring women. There is no charge for participation. “We are dedicated to providing long-term, prevention-based education to our members,” Belch says. Programs are held in Kingston, Belleville, Napanee and Picton, in the classroom, in schools and community centres. Funded by Service Canada, the Focus program helps women overcome barriers to employment. Girls Inc. One to One is a program which matches mentors with girls tailored to their needs. Friends for Life program co-ordinates

relationships with girls ages eight through 16. The Friend for a Day program pairs volunteers and clients for single outings. Girls Inc. Family Support ensures the family is part of the support through community services and individual support. Since 1993, Girls Inc. has awarded $2.58 million in scholarships to 413 high school women. Multiple scholarships ($2,500 and $15,000) are awarded each year and may be applied to tuition and expenses at any accredited two- or four-year college or university. This is a private scholarship, open only to young women who are in Grade 11 or 12 and who are members of a Girls Incorporated affiliate. The purpose of the Scholars Program is to make post-secondary education more accessible by offsetting the financial costs. The goal is to inspire members to succeed in school and to consider a broad range of career possibilities. For more information see the web site at girlsinclimestone.ca or call 613-542-9202.
The path to vitality
I panicked...
My hair was thinning! For a long time Christie had wanted to do something extra for her hair. She felt it appeared dull and was thinning. Hair VolumeTM became her resource.
C
hristie encountered hair loss, which was very frustrating. “I have tried many things before, but to no avail.”
Read about Hair Volume™ Christie has worked in a pharmacy all her life. “Maybe that is why I was skeptical, when I first read about Hair Volume. I am always studying the declarations very carefully and there was something about this product,
which made me realize that it was special.”
Very positive experience “Today I have taken the Hair Volume tablets for 38 days and I can truly feel an improvement and less hair loss. My nails are also stronger and less grooved. All in all a very positive experience. I will definitely continue taking this product”, relates a happy Christie.
DID YOU KNOW? Grey hairs can begin to appear due to a lack of copper in your diet. Hair Volume™ tablets contain copper, which affects melanin production to help avoid grey hairs.

the Express won 1-0. Game 1 was a 3-0 win over the Peterborough Petes. Scoring for the devils were Tanner Sheppard, Aidan McFarland and Shelby Rienstra. McFarland also contributed 2 assists, while Brady Gilmour and Shephard added one each. Anthony Popovich was sharp in the net for the shutout. Game 2 was a slight bump in the road for the Duvanco Homes Bantams. They ended up on the short end of a 2-1 score, but for the most part, controlled the play. Shelby Rienstra scored the only goal, unassisted, and Anthony Popovich handled the goaltending duties for the Red Devils. Game 3 with the Guelph Gryphons started very close and tentative, but turned into a lopsided 7-0 victory for the Red Devils. Scoring was balanced with Colin VanDenHurk scoring twice, and Scoley Dow chipping in with 3 assists. Shelby
Rienstra, Ryan Fraser, Ryan Smith and Mac Lowry had a goal and an assist each, Brady Gilmour had 2 assists, Jakob Brahaney added a single goal, and Dominic Della Civita also had an assist. Aidan Cameron was solid between the pipes, earning the shutout. In Game 4, the Devils took care of the Southern Tier Admirals 4-0, to advance to the final for the third straight year. Aidan Cameron posted his second shutout of the day, making some big saves in key situations. Brady Gilmour , Shelby Rienstra, Colin VanDenHurk, and Scoley Dow scored for Quinte, and assists came from Gilmour, Dominic Della Civita, Tanner Sheppard, Aidan McFarland, Jakob Brahaney, and Mac Lowry. The next step for the Bantams are the OHF Championships in Stratford where they will meet the top teams in the province.

Frankford Figure Skating Club is 40 and fabulous By Kate Everson
Sports – Quinte West – The Frankford Figure Skating Club is 40 years old and as fabulous as ever. “We are celebrating this anniversary with a Forty and Fabulous Carnival on March 29,” president Tanya MacDonald said. As well as highlighting the excellent skills of their figure skaters on the ice from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Frankford arena, this year’s event will also have a brief
showing by the fathers. “It’s called the Father and Daughter Skate” carnival chair Karen MacDonald said. “We had this seven years ago and are bringing it back. It’s a big event.” Eleven father and daughter couples will take to the ice. The girls, ages 10 to 17, have welcomed their dads to skate with them. In a two minute segment, the pairs will attempt to glide across the ice without falling down. “Some fathers haven’t skated for
years,” Tanya MacDonald says with a smile. She said some are very excited to participate, others are a bit more cautious. “Some have been voluntold,” she laughs. She said some fathers did not even have skates but went out and bought or borrowed some for the carnival. Tanya’s husband Ian is out there skating with their 11-year-old daughter
Madison. “She’s giving him some pointers,” she said. “He hasn’t been on skates for 25 years.” Taking part in the Father-Daughter Skate are: Alan and Taylor AstburyHart, Kryss and Kourtney Schwass, Ken and Brianne Mills, Dennis and Guen Murray, Carl and Vicki MacDonald, Bill and Lauren Yanch, Len and Kaitlin Cooper, Ian and Madison MacDonald, Ian and Iris Kinnon, Alan and Lauren Bell, and Jeff and Jessica King.
Their coach is Melanie Barker. The skate starts halfway through the two-hour carnival program. The carnival features junior, intermediate and senior skaters as well as the youngest CanSkate members of the club showing off their skills. Solos and group numbers are sure to entertain as well as prove the club is indeed Forty and Fabulous. For more information go online at frankfordfsc.ca and join the party.

Junior ice dance champs will skate in Norwood
By Bill Freeman
Sports –Asphodel-Norwood – It’s only ďŹ tting that Canadian junior ice dance champions Mackenzie Bent and Garrett MacKeen will be part of the Norwood District Figure Skating Club’s “Dream Bigâ€? carnival on March 30. The national gold medalists are currently representing Canada at the world junior ďŹ gure skating championships in SoďŹ a, Bulgaria; Mackenzie, 16, and Garrett, 19, placed ďŹ fth at the world’s last year and arrived in SoďŹ a with a gold medal from the ISU Grand Prix competition in Riga, Latvia and a ďŹ fth-place ďŹ nish at the ISU Grand Prix in Kosice, Slovakia. The pair – Mackenzie is a Port Perry native now living in Uxbridge, and Garrett is from Oshawa – have been together for the past nine seasons and skate out of Scarborough’s Ice Dance Elite club with coaches Juris Razgulajevs and Carol Lane. They have spent the past three years on the international ice circuit earning two bronze medals, one silver (Austria) and the gold in Latvia. Along with their gold medal at the nationals they have several other Canadian championship medals in their collection including silver at the juvenile, a silver from the 2013 juniors, and a novice bronze. The team’s best total score was 129.16 at the 2012 ISU Junior Grand
Prix in Austria where they ďŹ nished third behind teams from France and Russia. Their best short dance score was 55.88 at last year’s world championships where they posted an overall score of 128.79 and ďŹ nished ďŹ fth behind two ice dance teams from Russia and skaters from France and the U.S.A., while their best free dance score was also recorded at the IUS Grand Prix in Austria. Needless to say the Norwood Club is thrilled to welcome the national junior champions to the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre where they will perform two guest routines and share the ice with skaters of all ages. Last year Battle of the Blades stars Tessa Bonhomme and Brad May were in the club’s guest skating spotlight. Bonhomme won the 2011 Battle of the Blades crown skating with Olympic gold medalist David Pelletier. The Dream Big title sponsor is Norwood Foodland with gold level support coming from the Norwood Lions, Horizon family Dentistry, Ayotte, Dupuis, O’Neill Law OfďŹ ce, The Dancer’s Closet and Crowley Farms; Zenner Concrete, Allie Accounting and the Norwood Agricultural Society are silver sponsors. The show runs from 2 to 4 p.m. with the doors opening at 1 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for youth four to 12 years and seniors 65 and over; children three and under are free.
Hula hooping captures the interest of youngsters By Sue Dickens
Lifestyle – Campbellford – Hula hooping has been happening since the ancient Greeks used it as a form of exercise. Watching youngsters learn about hula hooping at the Ontario Early Years Centre (OEYC) in Campbellford during March Break was inspiring as they became more and more excited, not realizing that it was also a great way to stay ďŹ t, said volunteer Kerstin Boyd. She spent one day last week at the OEYC teaching hula hooping and belly dancing to a dozen or so youngsters who ranged in age from pre-school to pre-teens.
“I am just a beginner hula hooper, I’ve just been doing it the last three months,� said Boyd, a grandmother who was not only volunteering that day at the centre but also participates in belly dancing classes for adults taught by Rebecca Hardy which are held at 2 p.m. on Fridays at the Civic Centre in Hastings. “Today we are showing the fun you can have with a hula hoop,� Boyd said, while the children practised doing the hula hoop movements. For a couple of the youngsters, Christian Douglas, 5, and Logan Fry, 6, hula hooping was “exciting,� and they like to come to the OEYC to enjoy all the

It got “a very good referral” from the Royal Ontario Museum, Li said. “They have many very successful projects around the world.” She works with James Ting, the other J in her company’s name. “We are building a bridge from Canada to Asia,” she said. Li, who’s from Beijing, has learned the language spoken in many Chinese areas to help her be a liaison between the two countries. “There are so many dialects,” she said. Li and Ting worked with architect Liu Tie Sheng on designing the pieces for the museum. “He is the real VIP in the company,” Ting said. May said his company, which he founded in 1987, has had other projects in China, including building a geological museum in the late 1990s. RCI was also the only company involved in moving historical artifacts before a dam was built.

activities offered there. “Hula hooping helps with motor skills, by learning how to rotate the hoop and it’s eye-hand coordination too,” Boyd explained while the children mimicked her movements, “but it’s also just to have fun with it.” According to the website www. hoolahooping.com hoops were popular in Great Britain in the 14th century as recreation and as part of religious ceremonies. Hoop dancing is a form of storytelling for Native Americans dating back to the 1400s. With no beginning or end, it symbolizes the never-ending circle of life. Hula hoops became popular in the 1940s. Baby boomers probably remember the days when they were more than just a fad, but a fun activity every youngster had to try. Eventually their popularity lead to the 1980 World Hula Hoop Championship which was held in more than 2,000 cities with an estimated two million participants. Boyd would like to see more “hooping” happening in her community, so groups of kids could get together regularly and learn how to do this fun activ-
ity and benefit from the exercise at the same time. “The more people interested there are then we could perhaps get a program going for the kids,” she said. “As we get older adults need flexibility so that’s where hula
hooping really helps.” Other activities during March Break hosted by the OEYC in Campbellford included Zumba lessons, a trip to Sandy Flat Sugar Bush, tobogganing and a pancake brunch.
Hula hooping was one of several activities held at the Ontario Early Years Centre in Campbellford during March Break. Kerstin Boyd volunteered to teach the kids the movements. Logan Fry, 6, and Christian Douglas, 5, were among the kids who practised hula hooping. Photo: Sue Dickens

From Norwood to Haiti with love

definitely a big part of his life.� The Terry Hounslow Award is given to an individual who supports and promotes all things Bulls through thick and thin and enjoys coming out to the rink to cheer on the team. Terry Hounslow was a long-time Bulls season ticket holder who passed away in 2007. Terry was always positive and a loyal fan, who supported the Bulls through all of the ups and downs a hockey season presents. The Terry Hounslow Award is given to a fan who exemplifies all of the traits and values that Terry stood for. R0012595109
Sports – Belleville – The Belleville Bulls are pleased to announce that loyal fan Kevin Maracle has been named the 2014 recipient of the Medigas Hounslow Award. A 27 year-old native of Shannonville, Maracle has been a season ticket member since the 2010-11 season and is a familiar face at Bulls events out in the community. “Bulls games are the highlight of Kevin’s week,� said his mother, Leaus Walker. Maracle is a young man who lives with Down syndrome, but enjoys his Belleville Bulls as much, if not more, than any other fan. “Kevin didn’t grow up as a hockey fan,� Walker continued. “The first time I brought him to a Bulls game though he was hooked. The players and staff here have all been so kind to him and treated him like a part of the family. The Yardmen Arena is his favourite place to be.� In his spare time, Maracle volunteers at Eastminster United Church in Belleville, serving at their Open Door Cafe once a week. He is also a participant in the Special Olympics, competing in 10 pin bowling, shot put and the 100-metre run. Most recently, Kevin has taken an interest in powerlifting. “Kevin isn’t a guy who is known to smile a lot, but when he is at the Yardmen, you can’t get the smile off his face,� Walker added. “He celebrates every win and feels every loss with these boys.

plateau covered in a beautiful, thick pine forest protected by the Fondation Seguin. I met the organization’s executive director – a Haitian businessman who has committed his life to the preservation of a fragile ecology. I met doctors and nurses giving selflessly, and engineers who support rural communities, literally building bridges to a better life filled with new opportunities that were once blocked by dangerous waters. I was filled with pride when I heard how, just days after the earthquake, Sam Bloch, the visionary who started Haiti Communitere where I lived during my stay in Haiti, needed to get medical supplies over the mountains to Jacmel. With the roads impassable, he simply began unloading the supplies by four helicopters sitting briefly idle at the chaotic UN airstrip. The Canadian helicopter pilots didn’t hesitate, he recalls, and the supplies were loaded and delivered immediately. Two of my hometown friends, Jason Calder and Todd Leeper, were there with the Canadian Forces at the time. They likely crossed Sam’s path, and he says he’ll always have a soft spot for Canadians as he thinks back to those choppers. Over the course of this short trip, I cast all my false assumptions aside and discovered beauty and resilience, pride and purpose, and above all, the welcoming heart of a country that for years has been misjudged and misrepresented. I arrived home inspired and dedicated to changing these many misguided perceptions, and I thank everyone for their unfailing support.

Theatre to honour WWI with Soldiers of Song show The show is also meant to be uplifting. Although there is one particularly sad scene, where troops acknowledge the death of a soldier, the show tries to capture the essence of actual Dumbell shows. They were often zany, performed in front of a drunken audience and featured male actors dressed as women. First World War soldiers, Boynton pointed out, were all men and most of them hadn’t seen a women in years. So the sight of a female – even if it was really a man in drag – would usually draw a few smiles. The act became so popular that it went mainstream following the war. The Dumbells toured across Canada extensively in the ’20s and ’30s, playing as many as 231 dates in a single year, Boynton said. Soldiers of Song debuted for a private audience in Toronto recently and the actors involved got incredibly positive feedback from the audience, Boynton said. One elderly audience member told the crew she saw the Dumbells perform when she was five and the show brought back memories of her childhood. Boynton said the crew are looking forward to coming to Stirling, because it will be their first time playing the show in a community theatre. However, they hope to tour it across Canada all summer, as community groups look for ways to honour the 100th anniversary of the war. “It’s part of our history that a lot of people don’t know about it,” he said.

Entertainment – Stirling – The Stirling Festival Theatre will honour the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War with a special show that pays homage to one of the most distinctive musical acts in Canadian history. The show, called Soldiers of Song, is a tribute to The Dumbells, a group of Canadians who were soldiers during the day and entertainers at night. They performed in deplorable conditions, often in muddy trenches on wooden crates following a day of dodging bullets. But they did it to raise the spirit of troops who were witnessing comrades die in dark and cold places, miles away from home. The show, which takes place Sunday, April 13 at 2 p.m., was created by Jason Wilson, a singer and pianist who has thoroughly studied the history of the Dumbells (he even completed a master’s thesis on the group). He and Allan Boynton, the show’s booking agent, are touring it across Ontario this spring, hoping it will raise awareness of a now distant chapter in Canadian history. The fact that troops were willing to get on stage and entertain fellow troops following a day on the battlefield says something about the strength and spirit of soldiers and our need to experience laughter, joy and music, Boynton said. “This is Canadiana at its finest,” he said. “These guys got our troops through some of the most difficult times in our history.” Boynton said the music for the show is the actual music the Dumbells played, though in some cases, it’s been modernized.

Nebraska City is known as the home of Arbor Day
By John M. Smith
Lifestyles – As our thoughts turn to spring once again, many of us look forward to apple blossoms, returning robins, warm showers, blooming flowers, and, yes, even the cutting of our lush, green lawns. It’s a time of rebirth and renewal – and hope. Many places celebrate spring via an “Arbor Day”, and here in Ontario “Arbor Week” is celebrated from the last Friday in April to the first Sunday in May. It’s a special time set aside for the planting and cultivation of trees, and it’s a tradition that actually began well over a hundred years ago, when Julius Sterling Morton, U.S. President Grover Cleveland’s Secretary of Agriculture, declared the first official Arbor Day in the U.S. on April 10, 1872. Morton had already voiced his belief that “trees were a good thing”, both for the landscape and the economy, and he’d already set an example on his own Nebraska farmland by planting orchards, wind breaks, and shade trees. Then he established this special day, Arbor Day, to encourage others to do the same, and over a million trees were planted on that first occasion. Other Arbor Days followed, and that tree-planting trend, Morton’s most important legacy, eventually expanded into other states and countries – and led to the planting of billions of trees. It’s now referred to as “The National Festival of Tree Planting” in India, “The New Year’s Day of Trees” in Israel, “The Tree-Loving Week” in Korea, and “Greening Week” in Japan. While in Nebraska City, I visited Arbor Day Farm, where this tradition actually began, and where the Mortons built their home and planted their trees. Arbor Day Farm is now owned and operated by the Arbor Day Foundation, and the home and grounds are now part of Arbor Lodge State Historical Park – with its arboretum, tree trail, and plethora of tree species. I also stayed right at the farm’s

Lied Lodge & Conference Centre (www.liedlodge.org), with its soaring lobby timbers, warm wood tones, natural stone fireplaces, and Olympic-sized pool. This modern facility is surrounded by 260 acres of orchards, walking trails, and serenity, and while here I partook in a tree planting ceremony (of course) – and explored the farm, through its orchards, vineyards, domestic crops, and forests, via the “Discovery Ride” (a tractor and wagon tour). I also checked out its Tree Adventure Pavilion, where I watched several film clips with trees as film stars (in such films as Forrest Gump, Christmas Vaca-
tion, Jurassic Park, Robin Hood, and Shrek) and walked the Tree House Trail, where I checked out the Woodland Pavilion, the Exploratory Tree House, and the view from the top of the Canopy Tree House. I was told that this Tree Adventure Attraction is very popular with youngsters – especially its Nature Explore Classrooms, where children can build with blocks, climb logs, or begin a forest melody on a giant marimba - and its opportunities for tree climbing (in the safety of a harness system). I met Karen Houser, the General Manager of the Lied Lodge
& Conference Centre, and she told me about this facility’s popularity for destination weddings – and its historic barn for barbeques and banquets. I also learned just how seriously this facility takes its conservation, sustainability, and ‘green’ practices when I took its Energy Plant Tour – and learned that the Lied Lodge & Conference Centre is heated and cooled by the use of renewable firewood (harvested from the farm itself) and waste wood (wood chips are purchased from a nearby palette company). I also stopped in at Arbor Day Farm’s Lied Greenhouse, where I got ‘an up close and personal’

look at how the tree seedlings are grown and prepared for distribution – and I received a free tree to take home and plant. I learned that about 4 million trees are shipped annually. Nebraska City is the site of the corporate headquarters of the Arbor Day Foundation (www.arborday.org), and this organization’s mandate is to “inspire people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees.” Not only is Nebraska City
the home of Arbor Day, but it’s also home to the Missouri River Basin Lewis & Clark Interpretive Trail & Visitor Centre, which focuses on the scientific results of the historic expedition, and includes replicas of their boats and a reconstructed earth lodge dwelling. You’ll also find the Kregel Windmill Factory here, now a museum that’s been restored to its 1939 condition, with the original furnishings and tools.

Parks Canada to spend unprecedented amount on fixing waterways By John Campbell

Got Events?
News – Peterborough – Parks Canada will spend $58 million over the next two years to maintain and modernize the Trent-Severn Waterway and Rideau Canal. That’s a “record” amount of money, said Oshawa MP Dr. Colin Carrie, parliamentary secretary to Minister of the Environment Leona Aglukkaq, who made the funding announcement at a news conference held March 14 at the Peterborough Lift Lock Visitor Centre. The projects along the Trent-Severn include replacement of the Hastings swing bridge at a cost of $4 million as well as replacement of the Brighton Road swing bridge on the Murray Canal that connects Quinte West and Brighton to Prince Edward County. Its estimated cost is $4.6 million. Work is nearing completion at Healey Falls Lock 15 to replace concrete that has deteriorated at a cost of $700,000. The most expensive undertaking is the removal of the Bolsover dam at Lock 37 and the construction of a new one in its place, for $24.1 million. The deck of the dam at Lock 23 on the Otonabee River in Peterborough is to rehabilitated at a cost of $7.3 million while reconstruction of the Thompson’s Bay dam will cost $1.5 million. Carrie said the projects “will help ensure that residents and visitors can continue to access, navigate and enjoy” the Trent-Severn, “a jewel of Canada” that’s “important to Canadians in many ways,” accommodating “a wealth of recreational activities” as well as contributing to the region’s “thriving tourist industry.”

Hastings-Prince Edward MP Daryl Kramp said his government “had to bite the bullet” and commit to unprecedented spending on the Trent-Severn Waterway before the situation became “untenable.” Photo: John Campbell
The funding announced is in addition to the $391.5 million contained in the federal government’s Economic Action Plan for highways, bridges and dams in national parks and along historic canals, details of which are to be provided later. “They help define us as Canadians,” Carrie said. “We must not only protect them but also ensure that they can be experienced and enjoyed both now and well into the future. Today’s in-
vestments in heritage infrastructure will yield benefits for many, many years to come.” Hastings-Prince Edward MP Daryl Kramp said the government “could not afford” to let repairs to the waterway slide and reach “an untenable situation so we decided to bite the bullet.” The enhanced funding will come as good news to those who have criticized Parks Canada for not doing

enough to protect the waterway from further deterioration but they won’t be happy to learn no changes are planned in the service this year. Carrie said the hours of operation set last year, which drew complaints from boaters because it gave them less time to pass through the system, will remain as they are until 2015. The minister “was very clear in a recent meeting she had with stakeholders that they are set” until 2015, he said. Carrie said a decline in boaters using the system – their numbers fell by 23 per cent in 2013 – is “always a concern ... It’s one of those things that we have to try to figure out what exactly is going on with the boating community. It’s something we have to monitor.” Kramp said there are “always going to be challenges” on the operational side. “Nothing in life is free,” he said. “Somehow, some way, somebody has to pay, (whether it’s) paid by the general public or ... paid by the user system. “It’s going to be an ongoing challenge.” Jewel Cunningham, director of Ontario waterways for Parks Canada, told The Independent the changes that were put in place last year “led to some confusion” among boaters which contributed to fewer travelling the waterway but the weather didn’t help either. The waterway “made some modifications” to its operations last year as the season wore on in response to the feedback it was getting from boaters “to decrease the wait times and try to address some of the concerns.” She said boat traffic has been declining for about 10 years and one of the initiatives the waterway has undertaken is to find out why by means of a survey its conducting in partnership with Boating Ontario, which can be accessed at www.boatingontario.ca for another few weeks.

The Good Earth: Canada Blooms
Come Alive Outside...Inside!
Dan Clost This past week I was able to take in our premier garden show in The Direct Energy Centre at Toronto’s Exhibition Grounds. The entrance to the venue has not changed since 1927 so here are the directions: west to Toronto, through the Princes’ Gates, look to your right. I enjoyed it thoroughly this year. All of the booths, even the one or two which presented architectural design concepts that I didn’t fully understand, were exceptionally well done displaying the absolute best combination of imagination and technical skill. We can all imagine dining al fresco, surrounded by rocks, water and plants, especially after this winter. Can you picture it, GR? It’s a warm summer day; you’ve set up a picnic lunch, tucked in close to the shade of
a mossy rock wall, edged by ferns and with a rill trickling from the wall across your dining table...really! At the J Garfield Thompson Landscape display garden, you will see exactly that. A large natural table rock is cantilevered from the “hillside” and a small stream actually meanders down the centre of the table to be captured by a ground-level basin. This company holds true to their own philosophical approach to landscaping, BioGeometry®. In the middle of a building, in the middle of a big city, in the middle of an interminable winter, I was drawn into their garden and everything else just faded away. Once again, with the school break in full swing, parents and grandparents had the children in tow. Mind you, we didn’t see them looking at the bikini clad mannequins (part of a floral clothing display) nor were they in evidence at the main stage where the suits were talking (Entertaining and clever suits, too, such as Denis Flanagan and Mark Culligan but not what a 10 year old wants to do.) It was very easy to find them-I tracked the happy noises. The Fafard and Floral Dimensions folk had raised gardens set up for “workshops” where the young hortulans could plant up some succulents and this proved to be popular with everyone. Once again the Bienenstock team brought their natural playground and I am convinced that it is the kids who actually had their parents and grandparents in tow. Massive reclaimed logs are shaped into furniture, tunnels, and a gargantuan xylophone. One enormous piece of wood was fashioned into a slide. As I stood beside it, a 4-year old looked up at me and said, “This is how you do it.” Down she went. At the bottom she
stood up and turned an expectant, challenging eye on me. Of course, I slid. And yes, I did say, “Whee!” Enhancing this wonderful playground were some amazing water features that looked so natural you would think the building was constructed around a pristine, undisturbed site. The third display garden I’d like to mention is the Landscape Ontario feature garden, Come Alive Outside. Come Alive Outside is also a movement to get people back into nature- plug it into your browser, read about it and then get out there and do it. This garden, a co-operative effort of designers and installers (there needs to be a better word for these natural artisans) is a showcase of the best our industry has to offer. Dry stacked rock walls with an inset dry stacked rock wall picture, both having a stress fracture artistically running through them imparted a sense of being there so long that they had settled into the natural firmament. The inlay stone work is a testament to craftsmanship and evoked a feeling of playfulness. (Who knew that Spirograph would inspire our leading design architects?) Redwood pods, little enclaves, created private spaces, grass swards continuing around the rock walls lead you to various gardens full of colour and fragrance. In fact, tucked into this one garden were over 1000 blooming bulbs and flowers, over 100 shrubs and trees and more than 70 roses. There is so much more to say but I’ve run out of column space. There’s only one thing for you to do, Gentle Reader, and you do have time enough time: go to Blooms this weekend. Come Alive Inside!
