Trenton’s rising star scores YTV movie role

By Erin Stewart

Trenton – Trenton’s Drew Haytaoglu landed a role in the YTV movie Bruno & Boots: Go Jump in the Pool, a TV movie that is sure to make you laugh when it premieres on Friday, April 1, at 7:30 p.m. on YTV. Drew plays Chris Talbot, a student at Macdonald Hall boys’ school. The movie follows the shenanigans of Bruno Walton and Melvin “Boots” O’Neil, infamous troublemakers at Macdonald Hall, and is based on the muchloved and very popular Macdonald Hall book series by best-selling young adult author Gordon Korman.

The 15-year-old East Northumberland Secondary School student said his father had read the Gordon Korman books and he was really excited about the role when he read the script.

“It was such a funny script,” Haytaoglu said.

“It’s full of comedy, full of pranks and action, it’s going to be a really fun movie to watch.”

Filming the movie at McMaster University in Hamilton over two weeks in the summer was a fantastic experience for Haytaoglu.

“It was probably one of the best experiences I’ve ever had,” he said. “It was so much fun. We had a food fight in one of the scenes… it was basically just summer shenanigans for a job.”

Bruno & Boots: Go Jump in the Pool isn’t Haytaoglu’s acting debut. He has been in a number of commercials, landed a couple TV series roles and also played Gilbert Blythe in the 2016 Anne of Green Gables TV movie.

He said he found his passion for acting when he was in Grade 4 at Murray Centennial Public School.

Moore gets a boost

By Erin Stewart Closed Friday, March 25th and Sunday, March 27th

Trenton – Padraic Moore is Canada’s number one amateur Highland Games athlete and Ron McCaslin, owner of The Nutrition Factory, is sponsoring the local athlete on his journey to compete for Canada at the 2016 IHGF World Amateur Highland Games Championships held in Norway in July.

“He’s a local athlete,” McCaslin said. “We try to support local athletes here and we want to help him as much as we can.”

McCaslin said he’s very impressed with Moore’s accomplishments.

“Having a local guy, from the Quinte West area, to go to Norway to represent Canada, I think that’s awesome,” he said.

McCaslin said it was important for

him to do what he could for Moore and he’s supporting Moore through donating supplements and his favourite protein.

“It’s very much appreciated,” said Moore. “I was looking for some kind of support in the community and Ron stepped up right away.”

Moore, 28, said nutrition is really expensive and it’s hard for him to get enough protein without supplements.

Amateur Highland Games athletes do not get paid so Moore said he is very grateful for any sponsorship that comes his way.

Moore will be one of 12 competitors representing their countries at the championships in Norway, he is hoping to take home gold for Canada and then start competing at the pro Highland Games level.

CFB Trenton Pond Hockey Classic scores goal

By Ross Lees

Despite the fact that “pond hockey” took on a whole new meaning for those taking part in the CFB Trenton Pond Hockey Classic tournament in 2016, event organizer Captain (Capt.) Jeff Moorhouse was thrilled to announce it raised $38,000 this year, $3,000 more than last year.

Cancelled at the end of the first day due to rain and mild weather, the tournament did amazingly well to increase its production from 2015 while only completing about two-thirds of the tournament, according to organizer Capt. Moorhouse.

“This year wasn’t the most ideal

for us, but we were one of the few tournaments that actually got off in Ontario and we got two-thirds of the tournament in, all but two teams played at least two of three games, so that was great!” Capt.

Moorhouse noted. “The dinner was a great time Friday evening, and Wounded Warriors was a great partner to get on board this year, as well.”

During the announcement of the success of this year’s effort, Capt.

Moorhouse also thanked the title sponsors of the popular pond hockey tournament, Scotiabank and ScotiaMcLeod.

Despite the success of this year’s effort, he hopes to take the event to another level next year by at-

tracting coverage from Adrenalin, a national sports magazine.

The $38,000 raised this year will be divided between Wounded Warriors Canada and the Trenton Memorial Hospital (TMH) Foundation.

Capt. Moorhouse said this year’s effort was a great team effort and, as an organizing committee, they were thrilled with the result.

Asked about possible changes for next year, he deadpanned without missing a beat, “We’re hoping for better weather next year.”

He explained they were basically happy with the format and with the involvement of Wounded Warriors Canada and the TMH Foundation.

David MacDonald, National Partnerships Director for Wounded Warriors Canada, said they were thrilled when they were first contacted by organizers of the CFB Trenton Pond Hockey Classic hosted by 436 Squadron of Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Trenton in partnership with Scotiabank and ScotiaMcLeod.

“We love the logo, we love the message and that it’s taking part at Canada’s largest air base,” he stated. “Almost every soldier that deployed to Afghanistan flew out of here. I myself deployed out of here when I went to Afghanistan, so this place holds pretty special meaning for a lot of the soldiers that were taking part.”

He said the event kind of completes the circle by donating the funds raised through the tournament back to Wounded Warriors Canada and the TMH Foundation.

“Eighty per cent of the funds we take in goes back to our programming and our programming is specialized to deal with the mental health aspects of soldiers coming home, so particularly with the impacts of PTSD for the veteran as well as the family. We focus our assistance on that side of it,” he noted.

The CFB Trenton Pond Hockey Classic has raised nearly $140,000

in the five years of its existence, a tournament which originated from a sports day organized by 436 Squadron

when 8 Wing Commander Colonel Colin Keiver was the Commanding Officer of the squadron.

Man, and since then I just thought it was one of the coolest things ever,” he said.

Haytaoglu is in the audition process for other roles at this time and said acting is definitely something he wants to pursue as a career.

“I don’t know how I’m going to juggle Grades 11 and 12 though, if it’s too much I might have to take a break and I obviously need a backup plan if this doesn’t work out, but I’m hoping to definitely get far in acting.”

He also has some advise for other people who have a passion for acting.

“Go ahead and pursue it, it’s so much fun to do,” he said. “Take a couple courses before just to get the

hang of it, take your time with it, don’t take rejection personally and just have fun with it.

Haytaoglu’s mother Maura-Jo Haytaoglu said she’s seen her son evolve and become much more selfconfident while pursuing his dream.

“His whole demeanour has completely changed, he just feels more comfortable with who he is, he loves doing what he does, this is really about him,” she said.

She said the entire family does a lot of juggling in order to make Haytaoglu’s dreams come true and she said she feels very fortunate they are able to help him pursue his passion.

Quinte Rotary Music Festival set to thrill again

Belleville  – April is around the corner and that means the sound of great music will soon be emanating throughout a few community venues.

The 48th annual Quinte Rotary Music Festival runs from April 11 to 15 this year at four city venues: Eastminster United Church, St. Matthew’s United Church, The Salvation Army, and Albert College. Hosted and financially supported by the Belleville, Trenton and Sunrise Rotary Clubs as well as community donors, the popular festival hires adjudicators of national renown to assess competitors in a wide range of disciplines: voice, choral, piano, strings, woodwinds, brass, bands, guitar and harp.

“We believe that all who participate in the festival gain a sense of satisfaction, pride and accomplishment as they prepare for and demonstrate their musical talents,�

The non-profit festival culminates in the Silver Trophy competitions at 7:30 p.m. April 15 at St. Matthew’s Church.

That evening, adjudicators judge the students who achieve the highest marks during the week as they compete for the coveted Silver Trophies in piano, voice, woodwinds and strings — worth $500 each — as well as the Rotary voice and instrumental awards, valued at $1,000, and the Vera Anderson Scholarship for piano performance, worth $2,500.

Rotarians were treated to a sample of upcoming festival performances at the recent luncheon, as guests Leah Burgess (guitar and vocal), Danielle Dettlinger (voice), Denise Wu (piano) and Albert College’s saxophone quartet (Sydney Mosaheb, Jaimeson Lortie, Tina Li and Alex Schneider) provided the entertainment.

The quality of the competitors at the luncheon is “just a sample of what we can expect during the five days of the festival�, said Rotarian and music festi-

val chairman John Chisholm. “We believe that all who participate in the festival gain a sense of satisfaction, pride and accomplishment as they prepare for and demonstrate their musical talents,� added Chisholm.

This year’s adjudicators are Susan Toman (piano, harp), John Palmer (bands, instrumental and strings), and Amanda Brunk (voice, choral). More information on their backgrounds is available on the festival website at www. quinterotarymusicfestival. com. Also online is the weekly schedule, and the complete program for the event.

Admission is free at all festival venues.

Well-known choral conductor Rudy Heijdens is once again this year’s platinum-level sponsor for the festival, and Chisholm says sponsors at all levels are actively encouraged.

Albert College is the festi-

val’s silver sponsor this year, and also the continued host of the Concert of Stars, a showcase of the event’s best performers and presentation of awards. It’s slated for April 27th at 7 p.m. and is open to the public.

The event does more than just local music lovers an opportunity to see some great shows. It’s also a rewarding experience for the young performers who participate, said Scott Mills, who runs the instrumental music program at Albert College.

A performer who is preparing for a music festival develops a host of musical skills over the months that they are learning their pieces.

This includes technique, a sense of timing and rhythm, reading and interpreting the notes, and motivation to practise.

But it’s the non-musical skills they learn – discipline,

velop discipline to become organized enough to practise regularly and efficiently.

They must set goals in order to prepare their music adequately to meet the deadline of the performance day. “If they play in an ensemble, they must develop interpersonal skills, and work as a team to prepare and perform at their highest level. They have to learn how all the different parts of the ensemble interact and mesh together.

There are times when one part must come forward, and others must support, and they need to be able to find their place inside of this moving structure. “They develop self-confidence from going up on stage in front of family, strangers and judges and performing.  They become comfortable with the idea of being judged and assessed, and learn how to accept and apply advice, and grow from the experience. Lastly, they must also learn to speak the language of music and become expressive artists, and more expressive citizens of the world.�

goal setting, and being part of a greater whole – that affect not just their performance, but often their lives outside of music, says Mills, who’s been helping students prepare for the Quinte Rotary Music Festival for two decades.

He spoke at a recent Belleville Rotary Club meeting to promote the festival,

now in its 48th year. “Each spring the festival performances become our target performance dates,� Mills said to an audience of Rotarians and musical guests from next month’s festival. “This gives the musicians in our choirs and bands a clear goal, and a deadline to prepare their pieces. They are especially keen to impress the adjudicators, so they tend to focus a little harder and practise more to ensure that they can perform at their highest level. Giving students these tangible goals and deadlines is a key part to developing many of the life skills that they will need, both in and out of a musical context,� he explained.

However, one of the greatest, perhaps hidden, benefits of the festival is the non-musical growth that occurs in the preparation and performances. “A student who prepares to perform at the festival must develop many essential life skills that will directly affect their performance, and will inevitably affect their lives outside of music,�

Mills said. “They must de-

OPINION

Obama in Havana

A British journalist compared the huge American delegation (800-1,200 people) that is accompanying President Barack Obama on his first visit to Havana to Japanese soldiers stumbling out of the jungle to discover that the war ended a generation ago. And the Rolling Stones, who Gwynne Dyer are staging a free concert for half a million people in the Cuban capital on Friday, explained that Obama was their opening act.

The US embassy in Havana has already reopened, but only the US Congress can end the 55-year-old American trade embargo against Cuba. Under Republican control Congress is not going to do that, so this visit is really just a social call. Indeed, it was scheduled to coincide with spring break in US schools so the Obamas could bring their daughters along.

Yet no journalist watching all this can resist speculating about whether this opening portends great political changes in Cuba, maybe even the eventual end of the long dictatorship of the Castro brothers and the Cuban Communist Party.

Least of all me, as I have been speculating about that in public, at intervals, for most of my adult life.

I never went to Cuba during the “heroic” years when the leadership lived in permanent fear of American invasion or subversion, and most Cubans really were ready to fight to defend the revolution. My first visit was in the mid-1980s, when the bloom was already off the revolutionary rose.

Most of Latin America was living under brutal US-backed military dictatorships at the time, and the Cuban dictatorship seemed to me almost gentle by comparison. It didn’t even kill people much. But Cubans, unable to travel and aware that the regime’s propaganda usually lied, were in a stroppy mood. If you spoke even a little Spanish, they unloaded their discontent on you.

So I went home and predicted that the regime, if not on its last legs, was at least in its last decade. This did not come to pass on schedule, but when I next went to Cuba, in 1994, it certainly looked imminent. The collapse of the old Soviet Union had cut off all the subsidies that had kept the Cuban economy afloat despite the American embargo and its own huge inefficiencies.

During the “Special Period in Time of Peace,” which lasted through most of the 1990s, nobody starved, but almost everybody went hungry and the average Cuban lost nine kg (20 lbs) in body

weight. Social order broke down, with crime rampant and desperate young people openly selling their bodies in the streets.

I brought my wife’s parents with me on one of these visits, and my mother-in-law was mugged in central Havana twice in a week. On the second occasion my father-in-law was injured while resisting the muggers, and I had to bribe a police inspector US $100 to free him from the police station where he was being held – technically as a witness, but really for ransom – so that I could get him proper medical attention.

So I went home and predicted the imminent collapse of the regime again. Communist regimes in Europe whose people were quite wellfed had been falling to non-violent democratic revolutions with scarcely any resistance in the past few years, so it seemed implausible that this ageing, ramshackle dictatorship would last much longer either.

Wrong again. But when Fidel Castro retired after 42 years and handed power to his brother Raul in 2008, Western embassies in Havana (minus the United States, of course) arranged for various “experts” from their countries to visit Cuba and explain how things were done in a real democracy – which they fully expected that Cuba would shortly become.

I was asked to go along as an alleged expert in media and civil-military affairs, to tell Cuban journalists and military officers how they should operate in a democracy. It was a well-meant but ridiculous initiative, but I went anyway because it gave me unprecedented access at a very interesting time.

And I came back convinced once again that a democratic transformation was really imminent, because most of those I was speaking to expected it themselves. Few of them, even in the armed forces, feared for their jobs, and most of them thought that change would be for the better.

But fast forward another eight years, and very little has changed. Raul Castro says he will retire in 2018 (when he will be only 86), but a new generation of Communist leaders is already being promoted into key positions.

Up to three million American visitors a year are expected now that the US ban on travel to Cuba has been lifted, which will widen the economic gulf between Cubans with access to dollars and those without, but it is unlikely to trigger a revolution. The surge of incoming money will magnify corruption at every level of the regime, but that won’t cause its overthrow either.

In fact, I now think that the regime will probably survive until and unless the US Congress finally ends the embargo and exposes Cuba to the full force of international capitalism. Of course, I have been wrong in the past.

Didn’t like the hitchhiker sting? Get over it Editorial - Chris Malette So, there was this undercover sting, last week, in which a handful of Belleville motorists got caught on their cell phones.

Ka-ching! That’ll be five hundred clams, dufus, you’re talking or texting and driving in the midst of one of the biggest and most aggressive public safety blitzes since Mothers Against Drunk Driving started their thing.

Call it the ‘copper on the corner caper,’ if you will, but it’s taken on a life of its own on social media – garnering dozens of comments on Facebook, Twitter and elsewhere.

It all started when Belleville police cooked up a pretty elaborate ruse – although quite simple in its execution – to stem the rampant use of cell phones by motorists.

Ask any cop, firefighter or EMT who’s had to extricate a victim from a head-on wreck or stand by as a corpse or two are pried from the crash why this is important and they’ll be pretty blunt with you.

Distracted driving is now determined to be worse than drunk driving in causing serious motor vehicle accidents in this province and it seems even a $490 fine (plus $500 with the ubiquitous court fees) can’t convince people to put the damn things down when driving.

In any event, the dragnet involved a scruffy looking cop pulling over motorists who were using handheld devices while stopped at the intersection of North Front and Bell Boulevard.

The day after the initiative, a Facebook post

by Belleville resident Tommy James critical of the tactic went viral.

In an open Facebook post, James said his 74-year-old father was ticketed unfairly.

“Seventy-four-year-old man who doesn’t want to be confronted by this big fella decides to look busy, so he grabs his cell phone to pretend he’s talking on it. The hitchhiker pulls out a badge and tells him to pull over.”

James went on to suggest such a tactic breaches public trust.

The post has been shared some 1,500 times and numerous people have commented, some of whom are well known in the community and several were critical of the move.

But, Belleville Police Const. Brad Stitt, a veteran traffic cop who investigates collisions, made no apologies for the tactic when interviewed by the Belleville News on Friday.

He said he was actually glad people were discussing the topic online.

“Anytime we can get people talking about an event, it’s a positive thing,” he said. “This has made a number of people start talking about distracted driving.”

He said Belleville police did not invent this tactic, as the hitchhiker ploy has been used by police in other areas.

Stitt said drivers really have no reason to worry about being caught up in a similar sting, because there’s “a 100 per cent full-proof way to ensure you’re not caught.”

Bingo.

For anyone who thinks the scruffy hitchhiker ruse is too greasy or underhanded, how would you like it to be – as Metro cops have done in Toronto – ersatz public works employees in orange vests leaning on shovels, radioing ahead to uniformed cops when they spot an offender?

Or, how are you on laser radar, that OPP like to boast can nail your speeding car on Highway 401 from five km away – long before you can spot the black and white in the distance?

Narcs? I suppose you think undercover cops infiltrating drug rings or biker gangs is unfair to the poor mutts wearing the colours or cooking in meth labs.

We posted the story on Facebook and asked our readers what they thought. Here’s a cross section: “No problem at all. It is not entrapment.

Have seen that same sign on the corner of Bell Blvd and Sidney over the Christmas season. I wonder if it was the same program?”

“Yes it is absolutely fair. I see it going on every day and these are the people that increase our insurance when they plow into someone …”

“The law is the law regardless.”

But, some thought it went too far.

“A police officer posing as something he/she is not and then giving a ticket is definitely entrapment. They(‘re) posing as something they are not - a hitchhiker. Entrapment pure and simple. We don’t agree with this tactic at all - whether it provides media attention or not.”

And this from our Twitter account, @InBelleville: “No!!! Because if that guy approaches my vehicle I am calling cops on my cell!!!”

Want to help control invasive species ? There’s an app for that !

By Diane Sherman

TICO#50007364

Ivanhoe - The last speaker in the five part winter speaker’s series hosted by Hastings Stewardship Council addressed the very real and growing problem of invasive species in Ontario lakes and waterways.

In most cases preventing them from entering is long past, managing their growth and spread is now the best case scenario, and though humans have greatly contributed to their spread, humans can also help control them.

Great Lakes research scientist, Dr. Timothy B. Johnson, noted Ontario is faced with 180 different invasive species.

Plants like the water soldier, European common reed, frog-bit, and animals like the rusty crayfish, round goby, spiny water flea and zebra mussels have taken their toll on biodiversity in Ontario waterways.

The biggest challenge at the moment is to keep the Asian carp from moving in. The carp grows over a metre long, consuming 150 per cent of its weight in food daily using gill rakers which take in foods at the very base of the food chain, thus depriving other species of resources.

Johnson works out of the Glenora Fisheries Station on the Bay of Quinte for the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. He says though humans have been responsible for spread of invasive species they can also help stop the spread by learning to identify these species.

Ontario has an application one can use on their smart phone, www.eddmaps.org/ ontario, the Early Detection and Distribution Mapping System, which has a section on species identification, a channel to report sightings, and reference maps of where species have been found.

That is a beginning says Johnson but preventing the spread of these species requires knowledge.

never releasing live fish or baitfish into waterways, and don’t put water garden plants into the water, or dig up and transplant invasive species anywhere.

It is important to drain water from boats before leaving a body of water, pump the bilge, the well, and clean your boat motor, trailer and fishing gear of any plants or animals before leaving.

On land Johnson warns to stay on trails, and remove mud or plant debris from boots before you leave an area, and when camping use only local wood. Transferring wood between districts can bring in destructive invaders.

Cinema on the Trent Film Festival wins out over national film fest for Quinte West

By Erin Stewart

Trenton – Council here is passing up a topnotch film festival for a “lemonade stand,” according to a councillor who balked at a low-key movie festival for the city.

The most controversial topic at Quinte West’s council meeting on Mon. March 21, was how to proceed with the Film Street: Cinema on the Trent Film Festival.

Mayor Jim Harrison and councillors approved spending $25,000 in the city’s 2016 operating budget on a regional film festival in 2017 instead of investing $100,000 into a

much larger national event, proposed by Bill Marshall and Henk Van der Kolk, co-founders of TIFF and two principals of the Film Festival Development Consortium (FFDC).

A national film festival was an idea brought forward in the fall by Coun. Duncan Armstrong.

He said the city is making a mistake by investing less in the project and he voted against the motion, which passed 6-4, to spend less money on the festival.

“By supporting this resolution you are opting out of a five-star experience type of film festival and instead electing to serve up a

lemonade stand in its place,” Armstrong said.

Harrison said he would rather support local film festivals than invest $100,000 into the large-scale Cinema on the Trent.

“We haven’t supported local and that’s what we should be doing,” he said.

Coun. Don Kuntze said he thought the national film festival was a great opportunity and said he would rather spend a larger amount of money on the event.

“I know you want to do local and have the local flavour, but I see it as a bigger idea and bigger project we should be proceeding with, not the smaller level,” he said.

FOCUS

ON LIFELONG LEARNING

Coun. Allan DeWitt said he feels like there has been a lack of information on the topic and he would have preferred not to vote on the motion until councillors could have more meetings about the event.

“There seems to be an incredible disconnect with all parties and I’ve got to say, I found it very frustrating,” DeWitt said.

Charlie Murphy, the city’s chief administrative officer, put together the report to bring to council and said he had difficulty putting the report together because not all of his questions were answered by the FFDC. The city allocated $20,000 in the fall for Marshall and Van der Kolk to complete a feasibility analysis for the project. The men presented their project to council on

Jan. 18, with branding and a plan for the festival to coincide with Canada’s 150th birthday and represent the history of film in Canada.

They presented a preliminary budget of $1.65 million, estimating government grants would cover about half of the budget and a large portion from sponsorships and donations.

Moving forward, the city will appoint a committee to plan and organize the festival and the FFDC will remain as consultants for the project.

Organizers from local film festivals will be invited to be members on the committee as well as five interested members of the community.

Council will also appoint a councillor as a representative on the committee at a later time.

‘Sit it out or dance…’ and so they danced

By Victor Schukov

Nine years ago, Trenton-born and raised Jerry McCoy swore that he would never learn how to dance, being “not interested whatsoever.”

But a lady he was seeing at the time had a daughter who was getting married and she wanted Jerry to have the father-daughter dance. He says, “I got scared, so I took a few dance classes.

After two lessons, I thought I knew everything there was to know. I knew how to lead, but never learned the steps.”

Yet, he liked it right away. He was in his 50s.

Jerry met Carla Gaebel on a dance floor in September, 2013, while he was assisting in giving lessons in Campbellford. Carla had dropped in from Madoc.

After the third week, Jerry got up the nerve to ask her out for a coffee.

“When she said yes,” he says, “I said, well how about going out dancing.”

Turns out, it was love at first sight.

“We both knew from the very first date. We talked like we had been together forever.”

Carla agrees: “There was an attraction right away. He is a very honest person, and we both loved dancing.”

Two days after their first date, Jerry

found out that he had cancer and texted Carla with the news. Carla says, “He said to me that he would understand if I wanted to leave. I said, if you want me to go I will, otherwise I am staying.”

Six weeks after their first date, Jerry asked Carla to marry him, and she accepted. The reception was a classic Trenton event: At the Legion, entertainment by The Reasons.

Following chemo and radiation treatments, and an operation in March 2014, Jerry was advised to abstain from dancing for three months. But as Carla puts it, “Nothing kept him back.

Surgery was over on a Thursday and he tells me, let’s go dancing on the Friday. He said that we keep moving forward, and assured me that everything was going to be just fine.”

Dancing helped Jerry in his recovery and he wanted to share his joy with others. So, every Thursday night at the Trenton Legion, from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., Jerry gives free dance lessons. The turnout averages more than 30 people of all ages. Carla is now his assistant. “She is just a great person, so open,” says Jerry. “Such a match for me.”

They both talk about how much they enjoy moving to music, the pleasure of exercising their minds and bodies

and filling their souls, “all rolled into one,” says Carla.

The fairy tale romance of Jerry and Carla McCoy reminds me of the lyrics to Lee Ann Womack’s “I Hope You Dance.”

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder, You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger, May you never take one single breath for granted, GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed, I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean, Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens, Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance, And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance. ....I hope you dance.

For free dance lessons, pop into the Trenton Legion on a Thursday night, and meet the real McCoys.

Lung Association’s Tulip campaign brightens community again

es throughout March have the community.

The Lung Association’s annual Tulip helped the association raise Belleville – Spring is officially here campaign was a success, as sales of more than $11,000. and already there’s plenty of tulips in the flowers at participating business- The campaign goal this year was $11,500, and organizers expect it will be met by the time all the funds are counted.

“We are currently sitting at $11,203, so I can say with a degree of certainty that we will meet our local goal again this year,” said Lola McMurter, the Lung Association’s special events co-ordinator. “ We had a tremendous response from the community with our Tulip Campaign. We even managed to recruit a few new Workplace Champions too – The Military Family Resource Center and Counsel-

ling Services of Belleville, so we are excited to have them on board again.

Some businesses who regularly participate did a good job, too.

“We have some veterans who order from us every year too – and they do exceptionally well,” McMurter added. “Places like Hasting County, ODSP, Highland Shores Children’s Aid, Belleville Dodge, Avaya, Albert College, Canada Revenue Agency and Benton Fry (Ford) just to name a few.”

The Lung Association holds a Tulip Day every year usually in late February, at which time volunteers drive around to various

participating businesses and deliver tulips. The businesses sell them to raise funds for the Lung Association, an organization that supports people fighting lung diseases, such as asthma.

Some volunteers in this year’s campaign were awarded for their work, through a draw.

Alison Sills from Alarm Systems won a Quinte Mall prize pack. Alison was the workplace champion for Alarm Systems this year.

Also, Tina Storms, a student who works at the Aboriginal Resource Centre at Loyalist College, was both a workplace champion and a volunteer for tulip deliveries and on site

sales. She won the second Quinte Mall prize pack.

The grand prize winner was Tracey Forbes.

Tracey was the workplace champion for Sears Distribution Center. She won overnight accommodations courtesy of the Courtyard Marriott in Kingston. The prize came with restaurant certificates and tickets to OHL hockey games.

“The Tulip Campaign is a big hit with many local businesses,” McMurter said. “It is a sure sign of spring and brightens everyone’s day. People love it when you walk through their door with an arm full of beautiful tulips.”

Sweet science attracts hundreds to Maple in the County

By Ross Lees Rednersville - 424 (Transport) Squadron Search and Rescue “dropped in” to Hubbs Sugarbush and Sweetwater Cabin Saturday morning to help kick off Maple In the County and they were perhaps as happy to be involved in this sweet exercise as the people were to see them arrive.

Two parachutists dropped

from the crisp, blue skies into a corn field just north of the sugar bush along Rednersville Road much to the appreciation of a large number of people of all ages out to see the spectacle.

And Lt.-Col. Dany Poitras, Commanding Officer of 424 Sqn., topped off the “dropin” by landing his CH-146 Griffon helicopter into that same corn field amidst a swirl of flying corn husks.

CFB Trenton/8 Wing Commanding Officer Col. Colin Keiver and his entourage were the hits of the morning - after the pancakes and maple syrup, of course.

Given a plaque of appreciation by Lake Lodge No. 215 A.F.&A.M. of Ameliasburgh for their participation and as a sign of appreciation for military personnel and their families

at CFB Trenton, Col. Keiver said he had actually joined the air force so he didn’t have to eat outside in tents.

“But I did it today and I thoroughly enjoyed it, so maybe I made the wrong choice,” he laughed.

He said events like that on Saturday morning were mutually beneficial.

Council puts mayor on notice over subdivision changes Brighton - Enforcing bylaws should be for everyone, and that includes Brighton Mayor Mark Walas, according to council members Monday night.

He has been put on notice that if he allows any further grade changes to his Lakeside Landing subdivision at Lakeshore and Lakehurst, he will be charged.

Council passed a motion last August to have the bylaw officer investigate the proposed subdivision complaints to ensure no bylaws were being broken, as neighbours complained that unauthorized fill had been added, as well a ditches dug.

Last August, after complaints were received from neighbouring property owners about unauthorized fill being dumped in the Lakeside Landing subdivision, council directed staff to investigate to ensure no bylaws were being broken.

The financial director only gave direction to the bylaw officer in December, after four OMB appeals were filed by neighbours.

Upon inspection, the bylaw officer found that some residents had sump pump pipes emptying off their properties, some playground equipment was over the property line into the subdivision lands, and others were simply maintaining the property in question.

Council has discussed the matter at length and financial director Linda Widdifield said she’s been in contact with those receiving the letters, and no charges have yet been laid.

Widdifield says she hopes to resolve the issue by April.

Some fines indicated in their letters of non-compliance were upwards of $10,000.

Council agreed to send Walas a letter stating he

must cease and desist all activity without written permission or the bylaw will be enforced against his business in the future.

Coun. John Martinello said that when it involved the head of council, it doesn’t look good.

Walas has removed himself from any and all council discussion and decisions associated with the subdivision plan.

Council Code of Conduct gets the nod

Brighton council voted in favour of returning its Council Code of Conduct after it was abolished shortly after the existing council took office.

Coun. Mary Tadman said she had hoped council was mature enough not to need a code of conduct, as she put the motion on the floor.

Staff presented the same code that Northumberland County Council uses.

It was passed 4-3 with one change to identify a 90-day maximum in pay suspension should one council member be found in violation of the code.

Councillors Steve Baker, John MarGSS Engineering consult- tinello, and Roger McMurray were ing, Jeff Graham, says that opposed. although Brighton’s wastewater pollution control plant is operating within compliance limits with the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change, After holding off on making a final it’s doing so by a slim mar- decision to get out of the fuel business and not purchase a new tank gin.

He will be reporting back to council next month on the progress.

Wastewater results “barely” within limits

Brighton still in the fuel business

Construction on George to include watermain In order to get a start on a second watermain into urban Brighton, council approved a $90,375.50 expenditure to install a pipe from the Mount Hope Cemetery road down to the George/Alice intersection, about 300 metres in total.

Coun. Steve Baker suggested not tendering and just giving the go ahead to Behan Construction for “a pipe” at that cost wasn’t acceptable, but as Behan already has the contract to resurface the road, it was simply added to the contract at its regular rate.

The pipe will be installed away from the existing pipe to avoid potential breakage issues and a repeat of last year’s water emergencies due to construction.

Mayor Walas said the plan is to have a second main come from the water treatment plant and connect to the new line at some point in the future.

Tim Hortons not a go just yet Contrary to reports on a local radio station last weekend, Tim Hortons in Brighton has not yet received the rezoning.

Mayor Walas said he hopes all the paperwork will be filed and in place by the end of May. “They have come to bring their information forward hoping to have the information come forward in April,”

Committee to look at connecting trail links Brighton Coun. Mary Tadman has chosen to sit on a new committee that will look at extending the Butler Creek trail system from Rose Ellery Park at Ontario and Main Streets down to connect to the Tobey link that stretches from Cedar to Harbour Street.

In all, $40,000 has been set aside in this year’s budget, with another $50,000 in reserves for the Stal-

More than Just

Dr. Brian Ho

Our ability to eat and chew different types of food is dependent on a whole system of events that breaks down food into pieces that we can swallow. It involves much more than just our teeth. One of the most important aspects of our chewing system is our jaw joint, more specifically the temporomandibular joint.

For simplicity sake, let’s refer to this joint as the TM joint. When people experience problems with their TM joint, the condition is known as temporomandibular dysfunction or TMD. Here are some of the signs and symptoms of TMD: 1. Clicking sounds from joint during opening and closing

R0013735063

By Joyce Cassin

2. Pain during opening or closing or while eating 3. Locking of jaw joint

4. Grinding or clenching habits

Teeth

5. Limited opening of the mouth 6. Headaches 7. Pain in the shoulder and back To determine whether you have TMD and what types of treatment would be appropriate for you, it is important that you see your dentist for a thorough examination of your jaw joint. Your dentist can also take various radiographs (x-rays) and examine your occlusion or bite, in order to help determine the cause of your TMD. Once a diagnosis of TMD has been established, treatment can begin.

Here are some treatment options for patients with TMD: 1. Oral appliance therapy (oral orthotics) 2. Bite adjustment or alteration 3. Medications 4. Surgery Because TMD can be such a debilitating condition that affects so many aspects of daily life especially eating and sleeping, it is important that you visit your dentist to determine if you have TMD and to find out what treatment options are appropriate for you.

Dr. Brian Ho is a practicing general dentist in Trenton, Ontario. He can be reached at Trenton Family Dental, 613.394.3883. For further information and discussion, please visit his office at www.trentonfamilydental.com.

Daniel Urbani named OJHL’s top goaltender

Urbani has been awarded the Ontario Junior Hockey Trenton – Trenton Golden League’s (OJHL) Top GoalHawks goaltender Daniel tender Award after leading

By Erin Stewart

all goalies in the league with The 20-year-old now joins the top 34 victories, five shutouts goalies in the OJHL record book and an astounding 1.69 goals with the fourth best goals against average in league history and is against average. currently the number two goalie in Junior “A” hockey across Canada.

“It’s a great honour,” Urbani said.

“The team has played great in front of me and they’ve supported me well and I think that’s really helped in my success.”

Daniel Urbani

Urbani started his junior hockey career when he was 17 in his hometown of Coquitlam, B.C. He has made his way across the country, playing in the Alberta Junior Hockey League, Central Canada Hockey League and then to the OJHL where he played for the Kingston Voyageurs last season and was instrumental in Kingston’s win against the G-Hawks in the 2015 Conference Final.

“Since the first day I got here, just the whole organization, from the ownership to teammates and especially the fans, it’s been great,” Urbani said.

Urbani said the G-Hawks have a great relationship, the team even made up playoff shirts that say “The Brotherhood” on them.

“It really is like a family around here. I think if you want to go far and really succeed in hockey, and really in life, you’ve got to have your family with you,” he said.

It’s not surprising that Urbani has received a full scholarship to Canisius College in Buffalo, N.Y. next season, to play for the NCAA Division One Golden Griffins.

“It’s going to be a good adjustment for me,” said Urbani. “This is my fourth year in junior so finally moving up to the NCAA and playing college hockey is something I think I’m ready for.”

John McDonald, director of hockey operations, said he knew there was something special about Urbani, especially after his performance for Kingston last season in the 2015 Conference Finals against the Hawks.

“I would say he single-handedly turned that series around,” McDonald said. “In the overtime game he stood on his head for two periods and he single-handedly beat us.”

Senior games swimmers host invitational swim meet

By Erin Stewart

Trenton – A group of enthusiastic swimmers in the senior games local district hosted an invitational swim meet on

March 16, and 17, at the Quinte West YMCA. Around 30 competitors, 55 years and older, from across Ontario competed in a number of swim events over the two-

day event to get ready for upcoming competitions and the senior summer games in August.

and senior games swim competitor and coach, said the invitational went swimmingly for participants.

“They all asked if we were going to have it again next year,” Boyle said. “Everyone who came from out of town couldn’t believe how much fun it was.”

Competitors swam in three different age groups, 55 plus, 65 plus and 75 plus, and chose what to they wanted to swim out of a number of events.

Boyle said people came from Waterloo, Huntsville, Cornwall and quite a few people came from North York and Mississauga area. She said Quinte West was a great central location for travelers.

The Quinte West YMCA donated the use of the pool for the two days and competitors stayed close by at Ramada Trenton. Organizers also put on a fun event for the competitors on Wednesday evening, with great entertainment from dancers and artist Andy Forgie.

Senior games participants in Quinte West are part of District 10, an area from Picton to Bancroft and From Trenton to Kingston.

“Our district is just starting to get going again so they thought it would be a really good way to start things off,” said Sheran Barker, District 10 co-ordinator. “This is a way of getting people ready before they have the tournament in their own district to qualify for the provincial games in August.”

Barker said now is a great time for seniors to get involved with the senior games because scheduling for events begins in April.

There are around 20 different sports in the senior games that people can get involved in. The summer games include: carpet bowling, cribbage, tennis, euchre, slo-pitch, cycling, walking, bocce, golf, five pin bowling, darts, swimming, contract bridge, lawn bowling, pickleball, bid euchre, floor shuffle-

ing to his coach, Urbani works hard every day, has a great attitude and is a real team player. His rebound control is exceptional, he stays cool and collected when other goalies may get frustrated and he gives the team confidence, said McDonald.

“He’s had a phenomenal impact,” McDonald said. “The guys know, if they make a mistake they know he’s going to bail them out, he’s a real team player and a special kind of goaltender.”

McDonald said he thinks Urbani has a bright future ahead of him.

“When he finishes at Canisius, I think he could end up in the pros, that’s how good he is.”

Barker said the games are more about having fun, being active, socializing and competing. Some events are prediction events where competitors state a time they think they will complete their event and whichever competitor is closest to their estimated time wins, no matter how fast or slow.

Barker said she would like to encourage anyone 55 plus to consider coming out and getting involved in any of the many sports the organization supports.

G-Hawks take Game three with 4-2 home win

By Erin Stewart

Trenton ­ – The Trenton Golden Hawks took a leap ahead Monday in the best-of-seven playoff series against the Wellington Dukes 2-1 after scoring a 4-2 win on home ice.

A recorded 1,175 GHawks and Dukes fans packed the Duncan McDonald Memorial Community Gardens on Monday night for another tight contest in the battle of Quinte.

G-Hawks’ Liam Morgan had a big night, netting two goals for Trenton. Hunter Fargey and Adam Clements each scored one goal and both players registered one assist. Blayne Oliver, Danny Hanlon, Lucas Brown and goalie Daniel Urbani each had one assist and Mitch Emerson had two.

The Dukes’ Shaw Boomhower and Nicolas Mucci racked up one goal each.

Wellington received assists from Austin Labelle, Mackenzie Warren, Tyler Burnie and Matt Adams.

Urbani made 27 saves for the G-Hawks and Trenton forced Wellington goalie Sam Tanguay to work hard between the pipes with 34 shots on net.

G-Hawks coach Jerome Dupont said the game was a little erratic, but the Golden Hawks carried the play for the most part.

“We were hounding the puck, creating more turnovers, and as a result got more opportunities and I thought we were pretty good around their net,” Dupont said.

Golden Hawks goaltender Jackson McIntosh said he thought the team played well.

“We got out to a good hot start there and we never really looked back,” McIntosh said. “We’ve been lacking a good start the past couple games, so tonight that was really crucial.”

After losing the last game in Wellington, McIntosh said they needed to come back and show the Dukes what they are worth.

“Next game we will be looking to build off of this momentum here… hopefully we wont be looking back from here,” he said.

Trenton incurred four minutes in penalty time with two minors and Wellington incurred eight minutes with four minors.

Trenton won the first game of the series at home 2-1 on March 16, and Wellington came back with a 3-2 win on their home ice on March 18.

Game four was played after our press time, and results were not available for publication.

The fifth game of the series will be in Trenton on Fri. March 25, at 7:30 p.m. The

McIntosh wins 42nd season cup in Peter Puck League The Stirling Peter Puck Men’s Hockey League held its playoff finals on Saturday, March 19. The semi-final games were hard fought matches with Landstar defeating Shaw 5 – 4 with a last effort goal at the 19:52 mark of the third. McIntosh played Kiley in the second game with McIntosh pulling ahead 3-2 midway through the third on a power play goal.

Kiley came back hard ringing the goal posts three times but an empty net goal gave the victory to McIntosh with a 4 – 2 final. This put Landstar and McIntosh into the championship

It was ‘One For James’ on the ice

By Bill Freeman Norwood – It was “One For James” on the ice at the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre on Saturday.

Players on 10 teams and hundreds more friends, fans and supporters filled the arena for the first annual James Bidgood Memorial Tourney for Camp Kerry Ontario, a Peterborough-based organization that provides family bereavement retreats.

Prize donations and silent auction items filled the arena’s standing room concourse and helped raise over $10,000.

“It was a truly special day and one that will not be forgotten much like James’s legacy in this small town won’t be,” said friend Tyler Leeper who was one of the tournament’s chief organizers along with his wife Dayna and Norwood Hornet grads Seamus McDougall and Steven Walsh. He also thanked the municipality and community centre staff for their assistance.

“It’s awesome to see the town get behind it,” Leeper said.

James, 35, was killed in a snowmobile accident north of Cobourg on Feb. 19, 2015. In the wake of the tragedy long-time friend Jason Alexander launched a spontaneous “One For James” pay it forward campaign that spread like wildfire at coffee shops across Canada, the United States and other parts of the world with people buying beverages for complete strangers.

Belleville – Two second-year Welding and Fabrication Technician students from Loyalist College have received a Canadian Welding Association Foundation Post-Secondary School Award of $2,500. Recipients were selected based on academic excellence and/or their passion for the industry.

“With this award I can further my education and enhance my welding skills,” said Nicholas Paiva, one of the students. “It will enable me to learn more about the trade.”

The CWA Foundation established this award program in 2014 with the intent of promoting and encouraging the pursuit of post-secondary education in welding.

“Winning this national award has been a great confidence builder,” said Nicholas Companion, the other winning student. “I love the program and my professors have been extremely supportive, which has been key to my academic success. I am honoured to have been chosen as a recipient of this award.”

Mezzo soprano and pianist bringing chamber music to Stirling in April

By Terry McNamee

Stirling—The Quinte Society of Chamber Music (QSCM) has a treat planned for lovers of classical music and for those who would like to discover more about it.

On Saturday, April 9, renowned mezzo soprano Annamaria Popescu, accompanied by pianist Todd Yaniw, will perform in The Art of Song Concert from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at St. Paul’s United Church in Stirling.

“We’re excited to have them coming,” said QSCM chairman Bonnie Sallans. “Todd Yaniw is a superb pianist, and Annamaria Popescu is a singer to die for! She will fill the room like rich chocolate.”

Popescu is a Canadian-born singer from Montreal. She has performed in opera houses and on concert stages around the world, and also teaches voice and Italian diction for singers at McGill University’s School of Music in Montreal.

Yaniw was born in Edmon-

ton and made his debut as a classical pianist at age 13 with the Edmonton Symphony orchestra. Since then, he has performed across Canada and internationally and won many awards, including three national first-place awards and a silver medal at the Eastman International Piano Competition.

“I love his playing,” Sallans said. “It’s very sensitive and very warm.”

Sallans said the church was chosen for this concert be-

Youth choir singing its own tune

By Jack Evans After 30 years as a branch of the public school board, the former Hastings and Prince Edward Children’s Choir is now the independent, non-denominational Quinte Regional Youth Chorale, says founding director Rudolf Heijdens.

In a recent interview, Heijdens credited retired director of education for the public

school board, Burle Summers, with the formation of the choir to meet his perceived needs of children with special singing skills or interests and their parents.

The idea was an instant success, resulting in formation of choir branches at Bancroft and Belleville with monthly get-togethers of both units, he explained.

cause of its wonderful acoustics, and that the venue is well suited to this type of concert.

She hopes that the event will attract people who may not have much experience of classical music.

“I feel that a really excellent way to introduce people to classical music is to play this type of music,” she said.

“It’s only $15 a ticket, because we’d like to encourage people who have never come to hear classical music before

to come out and give it a try.

“We’re trying to bring the kind of experiences that are usually only available in an urban context into our rural context. It’s comparable to having Wayne Gretzky appear at the arena!”

She said people are also invited to come and watch the Masterclass being given the next day at the church at 1 p.m. and attend a social hour with the two artists at the church before the class begin-

TRAVEL

By John M. Smith

A Visit to Mark Twain’s Hometown of Hannibal, Missouri

I found myself in Hannibal, Missouri, the boyhood home of Samuel Clemens, the American author and humorist who is better known by his pen name of Mark Twain. This city, located on the Mississippi River and about 160 km. northwest of St. Louis, was the setting of some of his most famous works, including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and there’s now a statue of these two characters here, at the foot of Cardiff Hill. In fact, there are a lot of connections to these stories and to this particular writer in Hannibal, Missouri!

I visited Mark Twain’s boyhood home, which is now known as the Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum, and it’s now

one of several properties in the complex, for some of the other sites include his father’s office (J.M. Clemens was a Justice of the Peace here), the Becky Thatcher House, the Huck Finn House, the Mark Twain Cave, and the Interpretive Centre.

The museums include several original Norman Rockwell paintings (commissioned as illustrations for the two aforementioned books), treasured family belongings, several first editions by Twain, many historic artifacts, and several of his memorable quotations. There was even a structure of a fence, with paint brushes attaches, and when I grabbed a brush in the interactive display, I’d learn of some of the gifts that Tom Sawyer received for allowing others to help paint that white picket fence.

Just outside the boyhood home was a replica of that very fence, with an explanatory sign about Tom, who was being punished by his Aunt Polly by having to whitewash the fence,

and how he tricked others into “paying” him (with gifts/trinkets) for the “pleasure” of sharing in that painting. It’s one of the most loved and memorable scenes from the book, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

Another memorable scene from that same book would be when Tom and Becky get lost in a cave, and that incident was probably inspired by an area cave that the author would have been familiar with. It’s now known as the Mark Twain Cave, and tours have been drawing visitors here for well over a hundred years. The first organized guided tour took place in 1886, and it’s now a National Natural Landmark. The guided tour of the actual cave takes about an hour, and the walkways are smooth, with no stairs to worry about.

Much of Mark Twain’s writing was inspired by his surroundings and acquaintances. It has often been said that Tom had much in common with the author himself as a boy, perhaps sprinkled with traces of two schoolmates, John Biggs and Will Bowen, and that Huck was very similar to Twain’s boyhood friend, Tom Blankenship. Apparently Becky Thatcher was based on Twain’s own childhood sweetheart, Laura Hawkins, and her childhood home is now known as the Becky Thatcher House. A replica of Tom Blankenship’s boyhood home, now known as the Huck Finn House, is a part of the complex, too. . In his autobiography, Twain wrote that “In Huckleberry Finn I have drawn Tom Blankenship exactly as he was. He was ignorant, unwashed, insufficiently fed; but he had as good a heart as ever any boy had. His liberties were totally unrestricted. He was the only really independent person.”

You might say that Mark Twain “rules” in the Hannibal area, for apart from all the references that I’ve already referred

to, there’s a Mark Twain Statue (in Riverview Park), a Mark Twain Lake, a Mark Twain Memorial Lighthouse, a Mark Twain Campground, a Mark Twain Taxi Service, a Mark Twain Dinette, a Mark Twain Brewing Company, an annual Twain on Main Festival, a Mark Twain Avenue, Huckleberry Heights Drive, Huckleberry Park, Huck Finn Shopping Centre, and Becky’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor & Emporium. The toll free phone number for the Hannibal Convention & Visitors Bureau is even 1-TOM-AND-HUCK. That’s quite an impact!

I learned that Mark Twain thought that the bicycle was a worthwhile vehicle, for he said: Get a bicycle. You will not regret, if you live!” This is now available for purchase on a t-shirt in Hannibal.

Another quotation of his that I approve wholeheartedly with is his attitude to travelling: “One must travel to learn.”

Here are three other quotations of his that I found and liked: “One of the most striking differences between a cat and a lie is that a cat has only nine lives.”

“Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company”.

“Do not put off until tomorrow what can be put off till day-after-tomorrow just as well.”

For a time, Samuel Clemens/Mark Twain was a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River, and one of his books is entitled Life on the Mississippi. While in this area, I also took a riverboat cruise, aboard the “Mark Twain” (go figure!). A one hour narrated sightseeing cruise costs $18.00, and it includes information about and sightings of both Rockcliffe Mansion and Lover’s Leap.

Hannibal also offers trolley sightseeing tours and ghost tours.

LIFESTYLES

The Good Earth: Odds & Sods 2

1. It’s Not Our Show Anymore Last week I was a bus captain for a group visiting Canada Blooms for the day. With the exception of the bus driver, I reckon I was the youngest person on that bus. (If any of my fellow passengers want to challenge that statement they are free to let me know their age and I will post it alongside my own in the next Good Earth column. Please send an accompanying photo.) On the ride home I asked how the folks liked the day. The overwhelming answer was a very positive “Yes!” Then most of the chatter immediately afterwards was full of qualifiers. It was a very fun and worthwhile excursion but they felt there wasn’t a lot they could take back to their home gardens- those that were still active gardeners.

The prominence of the home show (immediately inside the entrance) and the relegation (my word) of Blooms to the back portion of the building is an obvious indicator of which of the two events is seen as having the greater

value to the attending patrons.

As a group, we Baby Boomers have massive influence and purchasing power; however, we’re no longer focussing on houses, gardens and landscapes. Generation X has growing families, and the Millenials (who have absorbed the Y or Nexters) are also knocking on the white picket gates. I looked at a virtual mountain of data to see what the differences were between these “kiddies” and us when we were buying our first houses. Folks, the empirical answer is, “Not much.” And the bottom line is that they’re not ready to be involved in landscaping at the moment. They’ll get around to it but they’re busy establishing themselves (professionally and financially.) If shows like Blooms can hang in there for another 7 or 8 years, there will be a resurgence in popularity and they’ll “co-locate” in front of the other partners. As it should be.

2. So How Does a Millennial Approach Gardening?

Most of the studies and surveys that

I read are contradictory without any real emergent consensus. Our eldest daughter fits into this looking-to-buya-home group so I reckoned I would ask her. The thing to remember is that her parents come from families with strong farming and gardening backgrounds, her Dad (c’est moi) works in the green industry, and she did have a summer job at a garden centre. So this puts her into a smaller generational subset of the Millies (my term for them). I have condensed and altered her answers (so as not to name the actual retail outlets) but have not changed the essential gist of her responses. My question to her was, “If you bought a house, how would you go about shopping/learning about the growing things and other outside landscaping stuff?” Bless her heart; she started by saying she would ask me. Ellyn’s answer echoes many of her peers and it is useful to those of us in the industry who is trying to sell growing things to the Millies. “...I’d ask you. But I’d also prob-

ably look up some landscaping ideas on Pinterest (for visuals mostly, but sometimes the “pins” are linked with decent websites). Then I’d refresh my memory on what zone we’re in and probably Google a list of hardy plants.

Then I’d pick the ones I liked and see what would work in the yard based on the soil/light/wind/drainage etc. I’ve already discussed coming to a Garden Centre/Nursery to buy anything large but small bedding plants we buy at the farmers market. My husband also grows from seed (which we totally get at a Large Boxstore, but he loves it). I also have access to organic plants (veg mostly but some perennials) through our CSA. (Dan’s note: Community Shared Agriculture) Realistically, I’d probably go to a box store for storage, tools, soil, stone etc. Any ornaments I’d likely by second hand from a flea market or yard sale or picked up by the side of the road (like the pallet I have on the balcony). We also hit end-of-season sales at garden centres to see if there’s

Dan Clost anything we can salvage. There will be no pesticides/lawn treatments on my grass. Ever. If I have my way it won’t even be grass. I would (personally) likely never hire a landscaping service. Depending on our situation, we might share a lawnmower with a neighbour...”

End note: A blessed and happy Easter time to everyone.

Rutherford

The family of the late Doug Rutherford wish to express their heartfelt thanks and appreciation; to the friends that who called to visit after his stroke, especially Doug and Orletta, to Dr. Hearnden and Tammy who gave him excellent care, even making house calls at times, to the dedicated PSW’s from St. Elizabeth whose encouragement and patience made it possible for Doug to stay in his home, with special mention to Lydia, Linda and Marilyn who became good friends to us both, to the good care he received at Northumberland Hills Hospital from doctors, nurses and staff.

And following his passing, to Brad at Mac Coubrey’s for his invaluable help, to friends who sent the lovely floral arrangements, made charitable donations, messages of condolence, comfort food and phone calls. Special thanks to pastor Michael for his kind encouraging words, to Father Rylan for reading the scripture, to Bev for the organ prelude, to Jackie for arranging the music, to Mark for his wonderful tribute to Doug and the W.A. ladies for providing a delicious lunch.

Thank you all so much. Doug is sadly missed by all his family & friends. ~ Aileen Rutherford

Trenton - It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of June Richardson, long time resident of Trenton, Ontario. June died Monday the 14th of March at Trenton Memorial Hospital following ongoing health problems.

Born in 1941 in Prince Edward Island, the daughter of Roderick and Mary Ford, June grew up on the island then moved to Montreal as a young woman. She married Harold Richardson (originally from New Zion, New Brunswick) in August 1963. They remained in the Montreal area for 20 years before moving to Ottawa briefly then settling in Trenton in 1981. Through the years the family continued to travel ‘down home’ to their cottage in PEI with June and Hal spending summers there and winters in Trenton during their retirement.

June leaves behind her husband of 52 years, Harold Richardson, her son Mike of Trenton, her daughter Lori of Toronto, and many close friends.

Cremation and a private family gathering have taken place. As expressions of sympathy, memorial gifts may be made to the family’s charity of choice: Alzheimer Society of Hastings-Prince Edward.

concert venues and generating a substantial number of young people who have gone on to professional music careers.

Now, in preparation for yet another tour of The Netherlands, Germany and Austria, the young singers from public and secondary levels are rehearsing up to 12 hours a week.

Prospective new members will be auditioned at any regular rehearsal, but to ultimately join the concert choir (senior group) they must first spend some time in the training choir (Grades 5 through 7.) Rehearsals are held in St. Thomas Anglican Church, Belleville ,Tuesdays, 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., Wednesdays from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. until noon.

In preparation for their European tour, the choir has three concert dates locally. The first is Wednesday, March 30 at 7 p.m. in Eastminster Church.

The second is Sunday, April 10 at 3 p.m. in St. Michael’s Catholic Church, Belleville and the third is Saturday, April 30 as guests of the barbershop chorus, A Cappella Quinte, for their annual show in Maranatha Church at 7:30 p.m.

For the coming Europe tour, they will sing in several launguages – English, Latin, Hungarian, French and German, he said.

Heijdens also had high praise for strong support by dedicated parents who have been part of a long-standing and extremely helpful support group.
