News – Quinte West – A public meeting on a proposed methadone clinic in downtown Trenton raised a few concerns. “What are the checks and balances?” asked one person at the meeting held March 26 at the Knights of Columbus hall. Michael Piercy, chair of the Quinte West Community Health Centre (CHC) that will be housing the clinic, said there will be no medications on site. “If we need security, we will get the OPP,” he said. “I don’t believe it will happen.” Piercy said more people are taking methadone because they are trying to come off the prescription drug Oxycontin than people who are coming off heroin. “These people are your neighbours,” he said. “They developed an opiate dependency. This is somewhat different
than heroin users. There are not people sitting on the sidewalk waiting for their buds with a cigarette and a coffee. They are your friends and children. Unfortunately, they have a deep opiate dependency.” CHC clinic coordinator Kate Johnston said it’s a chronic and relapsing dependency. This is the harsh reality of dependencies, including alcohol, drugs and cigarettes, said Dr. Charles Bonham-Carter, from Change Health Care Inc., which will be managing the clinic. “The success rate at treatment centres is three to five per cent,” he said. “In opiate substitution therapy (methadone maintenance therapy) people on the program will experience success as with any illness. The reality is the relapse rates are very high. They do well on treatment, if they stay on treatment long-term. It keeps
News – Frankford – Fire destroyed the public works facility at Wolfe Street Industrial Park in Frankford March 31. “We got the call at 2:20 a.m. on Monday morning,” said Deputy Fire Chief Dan Smith. “I live nearby so I was the first one there.” He said 30 firefighters went to the scene and found the structure engulfed in flames. “It had been burning for quite awhile,” he said. “The fire was across the entire roof line.” Firefighters were forced to use a defensive attack, staying well back from the flames as it was so hot and there were several explosions. “The heat was so intense I could feel it along the fence line,” Smith added. Fire Chief John Whelan said there were several snow plows, a backhoe, a street cleaner and a pickup truck destroyed in the facility. The intense heat also melted some of the paint on the front of city trucks in the parking lot. Firefighters from Frankford, Batawa and North Murray were on the scene all night; some were still putting out hot spots in the morning. The Fire Marshal’s Office began its investigation later in the day. “We were lucky it was good weather,” Smith said. “It wasn’t snowing or raining.” Public works director Chris Angelo said there were six snow plows, some half-tons, a sidewalk plow and a Bobcat in the facility, with a total value of between $4 million and $5 million. He said the new amalgamated public works building won’t be ready to use until the fall of 2015. Please see “Fire” page 3

News - Hastings County Warden Rick Phillips says the county budget for 2014, passed Thursday by County Council, is a fair and sensible one, well prepared by county staff. The new budget represents an increase in total expenditures of about 1.75 per cent from 2013 for a total of almost $124,700,000, or just over $270,000 in actual dollars. The growth factor in revenue from new assessment was 0.42 per cent, and that, said the warden, is “about normal for our county.� After all other revenue sources are calculated, the difference from expenditures will be $12,805,000, resulting in a total levy to member municipalities of that amount. Surprisingly, it comes down to a slight decrease in the levy (tax rate) of .93 per cent, which translates into a decrease in average taxes of about $8 a year. “We had some good discussions and made a few amendments, but essentially the budget was supported unanimously by all council members,� he said. Major expenditures remain social services, shared jointly by the county and the cities of Belleville and Quinte West and the operations of two county homes for seniors and the Emergency Medical Services (ambulance.) “We’re an aging population and these

areas seem to be growing,� he noted. The other two services are also shared by the two cities. With its major head office complex in Belleville and other properties scattered throughout the county, some municipalities benefit from the total of some $2.4 million in property taxes. The county also came out of last year with a surplus of more than $340,000 , some of which will be used toward roads and other capital projects for the current year plus some put into contingency reserve. One major capital project included in the current year’s budget of $13,807,000 is reconstruction of parts of old Highway 2. The levy total will be apportioned among the 14 member municipalities in the sprawling county on the basis of assessment. In other business, council approved a letter to the provincial government sharply critical of a move to extend the role of the Ontario Ombudsman’s Office to municipalities. Reeve Jo-Anne Albert of Tweed noted there are already overseers of municipal council activities and further oversight is not necessary. “They should look after their own house before scrutinizing municipal councils,� she argued. Her comments found ready support from fellow council members.

Fire destroys Frankford public works facility Continued from page 1
The Frankford building could have been used for a new fire hall. “We still have 18 to 24 months to find a new location for parks staff,� Angelo said. “Frankford Public Works could go to the Murray yard. The Trenton yard can’t accommodate them.� He said the department’s biggest concern is the loss of six snow plows. “It takes eight to 10 months to receive new ones,� he said. “We can’t wait that long. We need them for next winter.� They need equipment available to keep up response times for snow plowing in the rural areas. Angelo said he hopes they can find a cause of the fire. There were gas tanks, air compressors, acetylene torches for welding, and a barbeque with a propane tank inside the building. Deputy Fire Chief Dan Smith was on the scene all night. The public works building in Frankford was destroyed in the fire. Photo: Kate Everson

miserable. This is a benefit to the community. Give us a chance to prove it.� Marsha Stephen, executive director of CHC, noted the centre makes it quite clear what kind of behaviour is acceptable. Councillor Terry Cassidy said the city will look at the bylaw to make sure there are safeguards. He said he works with people on methadone, transporting six every week to Belleville. They are in and out of the clinic in less than 30 minutes and there is no lineup. “These people need better health care,� he said. “The treatment does not help their other health needs.� He said the idea is to get the best treatment for people in this community. He noted that council has not yet passed the bylaw to allow the service in. “Staff has to reflect on what people want,� Cassidy said. “Tell us your concerns. We are listening.� He noted this still has to come before the planning committee and then council. Piercy added that people are also welcome to come to board meetings and share their views. He noted that people did not originally want the CHC to be

located downtown where it is now, but it is doing just fine. Johnston said people who are opiate dependent are not monsters. “Some of the most wonderful humans I know are on methadone,� she said. “The spectrum is enormous. It is so mired by stigma.� Johnston said the clinic would likely be open two nights a week, from 5 to 9 p.m. with a doctor and case manager available. Cassidy spoke in favour of a good trial period to see if the clinic has a chance to fly. “We need to look at the need for adjustments,� he said. Brian Jardine, director of planning for the city, said there are two layers to the process, involving the Official Plan and a zoning amendment. The review has to do with the land use only and it cannot enforce what time the clinic will be open. He said there will be a formal notification to nearby property owners when this will be discussed at the planning meeting, with public input on the agenda. Facilitator Lorri Taylor said the meeting was the first held about the methadone clinic which will now be passed on to the city to decide.

can be taught over a period of time, months to years. The brain needs to heal.� He said long-term methadone programs are more successful than any other. Staff manage, treat and counsel clients with all forms of addiction. “It is a slow process,� he noted, “There is always a potential of relapse.� One person said there is a methadone clinic in Brantford downtown where they have two full-time security guards. “People are hanging about and there is drug paraphernalia found on the ground,� she said. �These worries are realistic.� Bonham-Carter said such fears are all associated with dispensing clinics. The centre in Trenton would not be dispensing methadone, just meeting with clients, registering them with the program, he said. The dispensing would be done at a separate location in Trenton. He added there is a small dispensing clinic in Picton but there have been no complaints there. “We don’t want any complaints,� he added. “We have a reputation to maintain.� Bonham-Carter said the CHC “is not here to make your lives

substantial layoffs at the hospital. We have 25 people out of 1,800 in a potential layoff position. That is not substantial.â€? Egberts said the intent is not to force staff out. There is a plan to protect positions and negotiate with the unions. “We hope no one has to leave involuntarily,â€? she said. “Unfortunately, we had to jump the gun. It is disappointing we did not get a chance to tell staff first. We will be criticized for this.â€? QHC will work through the detailed staff planning process with its union partners. “We have an excellent track record in being able to implement this level of change without a single staff member needing to leave QHC involuntarily,â€? she said.“It’s still early in the process, but we are cautiously optimistic that we will be able to achieve this goal by not filling vacant positions and through reassignments and early retirement packages.â€? Quinte Health Care has 1,800 staff members and 320 medical staff who provide a wide range of high quality health care services to a region of 160,000 residents. Care is provided through four hospitals -- Belleville General, Trenton Memorial, Prince Edward County Memorial and North Hastings. This includes inpatient services, four emergency departments, operating rooms at three sites, a rehabilitation day hospital, children’s treatment centre, ambulatory care clinics, community mental health programs and a wide range of diagnostic services.Â

Earth Hour at St. Paul celebrates saving energy fect.� Ross added the event coincides with Lent which is not just about food, but a discipline to achieve goals. Chaplain Claire Marchand Lacey coordinates the school’s Falcons for Justice group that deals with social
justice. They worked with the environmental committee on this project. Grade 7 students Raina Pinault and Melissa Allan made posters and got some ideas from the students, getting volunteers and notifying everyone of the events. 7,&2

News - Quinte West – A huge mural on the wall at St. Paul Catholic Secondary School in Trenton is inscribed with hundreds of names of students, pledging Earth Hour commitments. “I will turn my lights off, I will use less electricity, I will go green, I will use rechargeable batteries, I will unplug my laptop, I will take shorter showers, I will read more books instead of electronics, I will buy a hybrid car... � The list goes on. The pledges by individual students show their intention to go green not just for one hour, but ongoing. “The students think of what they can do to save energy, reduce waste and conserve water,� explained teacher Allison Ross.

One of the drama teachers decided to have a meditation in the dark room with just candles for light. Computers were shut down, smart boards were turned off, and all the lights were powered down for one hour, Ross said. She noted that in the new wing for grades 7 and 8 many of the lights are on automatic sensors or timers, but they can still be shut off manually. “This all ties into stewardship for our school,� she said. “Staff and students work together as a community.� Ross said they all need to reflect on energy usage and create change. “Every class participates,� she noted. “It shows that individual efforts make a difference for a cumulative ef-

highway vehicles. Rumour has it that a single lane bridge may be all that is offered. If so, this is a retrograde step and should be rejected for the following reasons. First, in regards to farming, a single lane bridge would prevent, impede or complicate the movement and use of wide equipment such as fertilizer applicators some of which have a width which exceeds the nominal width of a single lane bridge. Most of the land adjacent to County Road 64 is

farmland. The same restrictions would apply to golf courses. Secondly, Prince Edward County (PEC) is essentially an island. Access from Brighton and Trenton is via highways #30/ County Road 64 or #33. Both highways cross the Murray Canal on swing bridges, one in the Municipality of Brighton and the other in Quinte West. The eastern canal bridge in Quinte West was recently replaced and has two lanes. I’ll ask a rhetorical question. If you were a commercial truck driver, a recreational camper driver towing a large trailer with a car full of impatient children, a beach-bound sun worshiper, a wine aficionado or simply a local resident driving to or from work, what type of bridge would you like to encounter? I can say with certainty that a bridge with two lanes would be my choice. Consider the choices that someone from the “Big Smoke� would have to make driving through the normally congested 401 eastbound summer traffic with a destination in PEC. Option one, take Highway #30/County Road 64 to the single-lane, light-controlled swing bridge over the Murray Canal and risk a possible 20 minute traffic delay or take the Wooler Road south off 401 Hwy to Highway #33 and take a chance that an open bridge (boat traffic) might slow you down. Exiting the 401 at Wooler Road would be the rational choice for a PEC destination for westbound 401 traffic as well. I can foresee that all eastbound traffic with a PEC destination will drive an extra few minutes to exit the 401 at Wooler Road to avoid the single lane bridge delay, thus bypass-

when it comes to serving up water with your meals. I don’t mean to pick up some small filter at the hardware store, but call in a water supply company, have them install a carbon filter on a dedicated cold water line that is just used for drinking water to save cost. These units self back flush and if used only for water that is served for drinking, the carbon filters will probably last for decades. In my home I have a chlorine injection system on well water, which has a much higher chlorine count than public water supply. The carbon filter lasted about seven years
before needing the carbon replaced and I am running all my water supply through it including pools. So in a restaurant using a carbon filter only for drinking water, it should last a very long time. Please businesses, set the moths free from your wallets and install a carbon filter on your drinking water that you serve up and give your patrons a break by letting them enjoy a chemical-free glass of water. Do not go out and purchase bottled water. Give the environment a break, use carbon. Cheers John Reekie, StirlingÂ

Dear Editor, While enjoying meals at various fine establishments in the Tweed, Marmora, Madoc and Belleville areas, I can’t believe the glass of water (chlorine) that these fine establishments serve up. Some places put the glass of water (chlorine) at your table, others ask if you would like a glass of the fine substance. Nothing tops off a meal better than a good slug of chlorine. For heaven’s sake businesses, get a carbon filter for your drinking water. Many of you spend lots of money with decor and the great foods you serve up, but certainly have dropped the ball
No more chlorinated water in your restaurant, please

Connected to your community
Climate Change: Documenting the obvious Editorial - If you want to go on eating regularly in a rapidly warming world, then live in a place that’s either high in latitude or high in altitude. Alternatively, be rich, because the rich never starve. But otherwise, prepare to be hungry. That’s the real message of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s report on the impact of warming on human beings, released this week: the main impact is on the food Gwynne Dyer supply. Of course, everybody who was paying attention has already known that for years, including the scientists. It’s just that scientists are professionally cautious, and will not say anything that they cannot prove beyond any shadow of a doubt. But the World Bank, for example, has long known approximately how much food production every major country will lose when the average global temperature is 2 degrees C higher. At least seven years ago it gave contracts to think tanks in every major capital to answer precisely that question. What the think tanks told the World Bank was that India will lose 25 percent of its food production. China, I have been told by somebody who saw the report from the Beijing think tank, will lose a catastrophic 38 percent. But these results have never been published, because the governments concerned did not want such alarming numbers out in public and were able to restrain the World Bank from releasing them. So, too, for example, the armed forces of many countries have been incorporating predictions of this sort into their scenarios of the future for at least five years. The Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency in the United States and the British armed forces have been doing it openly, and I have seen strong indications that the Russian, Indian, Pakistani, Chinese and Japanese armed forces are also doing so. When you look at the scenarios in detail, they do not just predict serious food shortages in most tropical and subtropical countries (which account for about 70 percent of the world’s population). They predict waves of refugees fleeing
from these countries, a proliferation of failed states in the subtropics, and even inter-state wars between countries that must share the same river system when there’s not enough water to go around. That’s still farther than the IPCC is prepared to go, but to the military it’s as obvious as the nose on your face. As for what will happen to crop yields by 2050, assuming an average global temperature 3 degrees C higher by then, you have to go elsewhere for information. The military don’t plan that far ahead. But the World Resources Institute published a map recently that estimated the losses country by country by 2050, and according to the WRI’s calculations they are really bad by then. Crop yields are down everywhere in the Middle East and the Mediterranean countries. In Morocco, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, they are down by 50 percent. All of Africa is down except Lesotho, Rwanda and Kenya, which are all or mostly above 1,000 metres in altitude. Food production is down in almost all of South America except Chile, also very high, where it is up. Crop yields in North America are down too, except in Canada and a few US states right along the Canadian border. High latitude is even better than high altitude. In Europe and Asia, latitude is decisive. Countries far away from the equator will still be doing well; countries even a bit closer to the equator get hammered. Russia, Scandinavia, Germany and Poland will be producing more food than ever, but southern Europe including the Balkans and even France and Ukraine will have lost production. India, China, and all of South-East Asia will be sharply down, as will Australia – but Japan will be only a bit down and New Zealand will be sharply up. It pays to be an island, too. But this is not a “mixed” result, in the sense that it all works out about even. The total population of all the countries where food production will be stable or higher in 2050 will be less than half a billion. At least eight-and-a-half or nine billion will live in countries where food production has fallen, sometimes very steeply. It will be a very hungry world.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Criticism of Green Energy Act was unfair Dear Editor Re: Another black mark added to Liberal legacy (March 20, 2014) I wish to respond to the following statement made by Rolly Ethier, “This (passage of the Green Energy Act) of course has resulted in doubling your energy costs from Hydro One.” According to the Hydro One website, with the latest rates (Jan. 7, 2014) in effect, the “Typical medium density residential customer using 800 kWh/month” bill is broken down as follows: • 42 per cent of the bill is to pay for generation (over 300 firms such as OPG, Bruce Power, Huron Wind, etc.) and • 58 per cent of the bill is for delivery, HST, debt retirement and regulatory changes. In other words, 42 per cent of our every dollar billed and paid goes to generate the power from all sources such as nuclear, hydro, thermal, wind and solar. Of all the money paid to all the generators within the province of Ontario, the “Green Energy Act” generators received 10.9 per cent (www.brucepower.com/energy-calculator). Only 10.9 per cent of the 42 per cent portion of the bill that gets paid to all generators goes to “Green Energy Act” generators. To simplify the above, out of every $100 paid on a “typical medium-density residential customer using 800 kWH/month” account, $4.58 is paid to “Green Energy Act” generators. That is 4.58 per cent of the total portion of the current

“typical” hydro bill. Using inflammatory rhetoric such as “This (passage of the Green Energy Act) of course, has resulted in doubling your energy costs from Hydro One” only whitewashes a complex set of pressures on cost. Some of the major pressures on cost are: • the fact that all energy costs continue to rise now that “true costs” are no longer being “externalized” • the distribution network, which has suffered from decades of “an infrastructure deficit” is now being updated and • the standard costs involving the production of nuclear power are also finally being addressed. If the Green Energy Act” generators did not exist, for every $100 currently paid on a hydro bill, one would receive $4.58 back …. PRIOR to what it would cost to make up the shortfall in production that those “Green Energy Act” producers did provide to the grid. In 2013, 4.2 per cent of all power produced was produced by “Green Energy Act” generators, costing customers 4.6 per cent of their total bill. I would suggest, prior to pronouncing what is “doubling” energy costs, that one employ a closer inspection of standard nuclear power costs and distribution network rehabilitation costs. R.M.

Big business still needs to learn a big lesson By John Campbell Editorial - It’s getting so you can’t trust big business. More than ever. Consider the following: Toyota recently agreed to pay $1.2 billion for misleading consumers about problems with sticking gas pedals that caused its vehicles to accelerate unexpectedly. The unintended acceleration was blamed for the death of a family of four five years ago in San Diego when their Lexus sped up without warning and crashed. The Japanese company tried to limit the damage to its reputation by not making a full safety recall and, said a FBI assistant director, even “continued to manufacture new cars with the same parts they knew were deadly.” Toyota still faces a criminal charge for what it did but the United States government deferred prosecution for three years when the car maker agreed to submit to monitoring over that period. Toyota is not the only auto manufacturer to land in hot water for decision-making seemingly more concerned with protecting the bottom line than the lives of the people who buy its products. General Motors will have to deal with a slew of class-action lawsuits now after it announced last month that ignition switches in some of its older models need to be fixed and that it was recalling more than 1.6 million vehicles. That’s not the troubling part; it’s the length of time it took for GM to acknowledge there was a problem. The company admitted it knew at least 11 years ago there was an issue but waited until last month to recall the cars with the faulty ignition switch – the same piece of equipment said to have been responsible for at least a dozen fatal crashes. When GM’s new chief executive, Mary Barra, met with reporters she apologized for the company not having acted sooner. “I am very sorry for the loss of life that occurred, and we will take every step to make sure this never happens again,” she said. GM will also conduct its own investigation into how all this came to pass. How is it possible that a corporation with as many resources and as long a history as GM could have allowed this sort of thing to happen? Barra said no one at GM has been dismissed or disciplined because of the delay in making the recall but someone needs to be held to account. That this might not come to pass is what is so baffling for blunders of this magnitude, where decisions are made at corporate levels that adversely affect so many people, even costing them their lives in the worst instances, and the individuals responsible too often do not pay the price. Look no further than the financial meltdown that occurred several years ago when bankers and financiers let greed get the better of them and took high-stake risks with other people’s money. Not surprisingly, their shady schemes backfired and triggered a recession, the effects of which continue to this day. People lost their homes, jobs, and investments and the economy still hasn’t recovered, despite billions of dollars in bailouts by governments. But what of the deal-makers, the money men at fault for people’s lives being ruined and futures shattered? None have been charged for white collar crimes that stagger the imagination in their enormity. Although no slaughter took place, their actions constituted a crime against humanity in that they cared so little about the consequences their behaviour would have on society as a whole. The immense harm that they’ve done cannot be understated, nor the anger and frustration that many rightfully feel because justice hasn’t been served. Although the reputations of Toyota and GM were damaged by recent events, they do make good products or they wouldn’t have survived as long as they have. What led them astray are the same forces that beset other global conglomerates, a mindset and ethos that attach too much importance to the making of profits and not enough to exercising a social conscience. Such thinking would exert less influence in big business if the culprits knowingly making decisions to the detriment of society and in violation of laws were made to pay for their misdeeds. The prospect of prison terms made real by governments committed to vigorously pursuing miscreants would do wonders for the promotion of business ethics by injecting a welcome dose of empathy and regard for others in the boardrooms of the nation. Even then, for many, the guiding principle would remain self-interest – staying out of jail – but no matter. If the objective then becomes continuing to enjoy personal freedom while abiding by the laws of the land and not accruing enormous wealth at all costs, why that would have to be seen as a good thing.

St. Peter Catholic School celebrates grand opening
Archbishop Brendan O’Brien blesses St. Peter Catholic School. By Kate Everson
News - Quinte West – A blessing by the archbishop and saintly singing by the St. Peter Catholic School children made the grand opening on March 18 even more grand. “Welcome to our beautiful new building,” said principal Jackie Gauthier. She welcomed parents, friends, dignitaries, board members and directors of education to the event at 15A Tripp Boulevard behind St. Paul Catholic Secondary School in Trenton. “This school has a rich history,” Gauthier noted. “It
was Trenton’s first separate school, in 1860. We have a strong tradition of faith and service.” His Grace, Archbishop Brendan O’Brien from Kingston gave the blessing. Mayor John Williams presented certificates to Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board chair Tom Dall and Principal Jackie Gauthier from the Members of Parliament and the city. He said this is a beautiful building and children especially love that it is all one level with lots of windows and heated floors! Education Officer Michael

Laurie from the Ministry of Education said this school dates back to early 19th century history of Catholic Education in Ontario. He noted the original documents were written on parchment scrolls. He presented a certificate from Premier Kathleen Wynne. “St. Peter Catholic School is on the beginning of a long journey,” he said. “Education is teaching students to be good citizens.” Catholic school council chair MaDonna Howell said the mission of the council is to work in harmony with all the students and encourage a life-long love of learning. Parents help provide a hot lunch and milk, organize fundraisers with money going back to the school for games, bus trips, projectors and playground equipment. “We are always in need of parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles to help out,” she smiled. Board chair Tom Dall said today is a new beginning for children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, thanks to many people who played a pivotal role. He noted that for the first time in the Algonquin Lakeshore board they have grade 7 and 8 sharing the high school, now going from grade 7 to 12. “We celebrate students, staff and faith,” he said. “It is an important task to educate our future leaders.” Jody DiRocco, director of education, said they embrace traditions and recognize the opportunities of a new facility. She said school facilities play a powerful role in increasing self-esteem and motivation in a bright, modern learning environment. A film was shown, created by the students and staff. Then Archbishop O’Brien blessed the new school. St Peter Catholic School musicians and choir entertained with heavenly music while he went to each room with a blessing. A ribbon cutting included Archbishop O’Brien, Lisa Blagovjevic, Catholic School Council vice-chair, Nelia McCullough, St. Peter staff, students Hope Woolacott and Jacob Hicks, superintendent Theresa Kennedy, Jody DiRocco, director of education and Tom Dall, chair of the board. Terry White and Tom Wilson presented the keys to the school to Enrico Lisi and Guido Panicccia to principal Jackie Gauthier. Archbiship O’Brien gave a solemn blessing, followed by a closing song from St. Peter student choir. An open house and refreshments ended the celebration.

Arts Quinte West makes plans for the new year Anne Pennington stepped down as president of Arts Quinte West at its annual meeting. Photo: Kate Everson By Kate Everson
News – Quinte West – Despite closing its downtown gallery, Arts Quinte West (AQW) is looking forward to continuing its presence in 2014 and beyond. “We have 72 members,� said Anne Pennington, who stepped down as president of the organization at the annual general meeting on March 27. “Bring your friends. Bring lots of them!� Treasurer Suzanne Andrews, manager of the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce, said the group has very little in the bank but it’s applying to the city for a $2,000 grant to help with debts and marketing. Arts Quinte
West spent $9,255 on rent for the gallery in downtown Trenton plus expenses. That left it with only $307 at the end of 2013. Communications director Penny Olorenshaw also stepped down from her position with the club. She was responsible for newsletters and managing the website. “The website has had 54,000 hits since it went live 36 months ago,â€? she said. “That’s not bad. It’s a small arts group.â€? She said it has 187 followers on Facebook and 329 on Twitter. Pennington told Olorenshaw “that’s a super human feat ... You have brought us into the digital age.â€? Andrews said three directors are needed for Arts Quinte West to continue, since it is a not-for-proďŹ t, incorporated organization. “As long as the shareholders want, we will keep the group going,â€? she said. “It has a lot of potential.â€? Andrews said AQW started with a vision to promote the arts including music, literary and drama. Frances Luymes said she would continue on as a director. Phil Badham volunteered to be membership director. “I’m already on the Brighton Arts Council for membership,â€? Badham said. “I can do it on the computer.â€?
Paying for medical assist calls By Diane Sherman
News – Centre Hastings – When an ambulance is not available medical assistance calls are relayed to municipal ďŹ re departments in Hastings County. Centre Hastings Deputy Mayor Tom Simpson questions why municipalities should foot the bill for those responses. Earlier this year Simpson proposed Interim Fire Chief Bob Branscombe separate out the costs of medical response for Centre Hastings. Branscombe brought his report before council March 26. He showed his ďŹ ndings based on 34 medical assistance calls during 2013. “Factoring out constants, the costs of doing business, our over allcosts were $67,719.â€? he reported. That works out to just under $2,000 per call. His original calculations included wages, insurance, training costs, equipment, building space, even utilities, which totaled $81,883 for 34 calls, or 27 per cent of active ďŹ re department responses in 2013.
Belleville
Simpson motioned that council send Hastings County the bill for the $67,719, stating that medical assistance falls under their jurisdiction through Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Simpson said, “They need more ambulances on the road. They should be looking at that rather than putting the burden onto municipalities. Our volunteer ďŹ reďŹ ghters shouldn’t have to be out there.â€? Branscombe said ďŹ reďŹ ghters on a medical assistance call may have to go with the patient to Belleville General Hospital. He showed an overall cost of $500 to retrieve ďŹ reďŹ ghters over the year. Simpson said, at a public event March 28, that Jim Pine, the Chief Administrative OfďŹ cer for Hastings County, did not respond well to his request. Hastings-Quinte EMS recently announced funding support to employ paramedics as part of an intervention program, addressing needs of frequent 911 callers. There was no mention of increasing the number of ambulances on the road.

Trenton
Christine Pellati said she would also continue as director. Including Andrews that gives the group four directors. Jason Wryghte from Riverside Music said he would be interested in working with the musical side of AQW. Mary Britt invited him to come to a meeting with his ideas. Andrews said it was a tough decision to close the gallery. She asked if the group wanted to keep on as Arts Quinte West, and
got unanimous approval. She suggested other people, non-artists, might want to get involved as well, and invited the business community to support them. Mary Britt said a new venue has been found to display members’ art now, at the Ramada, starting with 28 paintings in June. Their art is also on display at city hall, Trenton pharmacy, Riverside Music, the mayor’s ofďŹ ce, Frankford municipal ofďŹ ce, and the ofďŹ ces of Northumberland-Quinte
West MP Rick Norlock and MPP Rob Milligan. “It adds up,� Andrews said. Britt said the Ramada will also be able to feature 3D objects in a new display case. The group will showcase its work at local events including the Home Show, Arts Up Front, Doors Open Quinte West, Savour, the Big Band Festival and more.

BIA committee meets year-round to make Stirling-Rawdon work By Stephen Petrick
News – Stirling-Rawdon – The town’s BIA committee is busy preparing for spring. And summer. Fall and winter, too. There’s seemingly never a dull moment for the group of volunteers who meet about once a month to co-ordinate major seasonal events designed to bring tourists to town and spend money at local businesses. When the committee last met at West Wings on Thursday, March 27 discussions about events covering all four seasons took place. A We Pay the Tax retail event planned for May had to be scrapped due to lack of volunteers. But, on the plus side, committee members announced marketing work is now underway on the town’s annual Water Buffalo Food Festival, a flagship fall event that lures hundreds of tourists to taste products from dozens of area food vendors. The committee also heard from a business owner planning a new, summer sunflower festival and made decisions regarding the town’s next Santa Claus parade, even though it’s about nine months away. But, as chair Marlene Braun said, planning events designed to improve the town’s economic development is a year-round job. “We’re all volunteers,” she said. “I can’t even count the number of hours we all volunteer. The Water Buffalo Festival, I’ve probably spent 30 hours on it each week the last three weeks.” That may sound like a lot, but keeping dialogue open with vendors and looking into marketing opportunities is an ongoing task. “You’ve got to get all your ducks in a row now,” Braun said. The BIA has about 10 members, including the Cars zip by West Front Street in Stiring-Rawdon on a spring night. The town’s BIA committee works to make sure there’s a steady chair, and usually meets on the fourth Thursday

Pictured with the Sportsnight participants are Principal Suzanne Cholasta and StirlingRawdon Police Services Constables Jarrett Rutledge and Scott Burke. Sportsnight is a sports oriented program available at no charge to Stirling youth and is run by Stirling-Rawdon Police officers and volunteers on Monday nights at the school. Students from Grades 4 and 5 meet from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and Grades 6, 7 and 8 students meet from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the gymnasium. Photo: Submitted

evening of each month. Their goal is to work on ideas that will keep Stirling as a unique little village; a great destination for families to travel to. This includes, not only events, but beautification projects. The committee has recently raised funds to pay for the hanging of flower baskets lining downtown streets. They’ve also worked to provide music along West Front Street, a move that will add to a great shopping experience. Braun says these initiatives speak to the dedication of the volunteers and the passion they have for the town. While she has been on the BIA for six years, many other volunteers have served much longer. Those volunteers represent more than 60 StirlingRawdon businesses who are members of the BIA. Braun said the biggest challenge facing the BIA is recruiting volunteers for big events, such as the Water Buffalo Food Festival. That will always be a challenge, given that many in the downtown community already spend long hours working on their own businesses. Braun understands that – she is the owner of Allure Day Spa, so she knows the challenge of being self employed – but she says getting involved in the BIA is a great experience. “It is fun and I really enjoy doing what I do. I enjoy working on different committees – they’re a great group of people to work with. “Stirling is home to me … I want to see Stirling continue to be successful. When I go out and talk to people they know Stirling – possibly because of Hockeyville, it did put Stirling on the map. But a lot of people from surrounding communities say, ‘Stirling is a great little town to come to.’ “I want to keep that momentum going.”

Plan aims to improve waterway habitats By Steve Jessel
News – Bay of Quinte landowners are being encouraged to take advantage of the Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan’s Habitat Enhancement Program this year, and with the application process now started the clock is ticking on the popular program. The Habitat Enhancement Pro-
gram is a cost-sharing program that’s a result of a partnership between two local conservation authorities, Quinte Conservation and Lower Trent Conservation and aims to help with habitat improvements to shoreline properties around the Bay of Quinte, or to properties that are adjacent to a waterway or wetland that drains
into the Bay. Available for about the last seven years, the program falls under the Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan umbrella, which was first introduced in the Quinte area in 1985, when the region was listed as an area of concern for pollution. “It’s always been quite popular and we always seem to get a

nice mix of projects,” said Sarah Midlane-Jones for the Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan. “It’s nice to have that balance.” The plan states that private landowners play an important part in habitat recovery and protection, and even something as simple as planting a shoreline garden can create a habitat for a number of species like frogs, turtle and ducks. That’s where the habitat enhancement program comes into play - landowners can apply in one of five categories for funding, usually for up to 50 per cent of the cost. The five cat-
“It’s always been quite popular and we always seem to get a nice mix of projects.” egories are shoreline naturalization, livestock fencing, waterway planting, habitat improvements, and wildlife pond habitat creation. Livestock fencing and waterway planting projects generally go hand in hand, and the benefits
of restricting livestock access to waterways includes: stabilizing stream banks, reducing erosion, improving water quality, protecting herd health, improving pasture management and improving fish and wildlife habitat. Landowners who implement a livestock fencing project are then encouraged to add a planting project between the new fence and the waterway. For more information, including criteria for the five categories, visit www.bqrap.ca. The deadline for applications is April 30.

ENTERTAINMENT
The Sound of Music at ENSS four weeks away
By Ray Yurkowski
Entertainment - Brighton – When East Northumberland Secondary School (ENSS) stages a musical, it’s not just another high school production. There’s a tradition of high-quality shows and something audiences have come to expect. For music director Lynda Tonkin, the songs of The Sound of Music has, so far, been a seven-month project. It started as the new school year began in September; first teaching the songs to the actors, then leading the band. A lot of time has been spent teaching the actors playing nuns how to sing in harmony a cappella – without instrumental accompaniment. “It’s been busy,” she says. “But it’s been fun.” For the musicians, as important as learning the songs is the
timing to complement the actors’ movements on stage. And to add to the challenge, the live 13-piece pit band will be hidden from the audience, housed backstage behind the set. Tonkin’s sheet music is marked by almost as many memos as notes for the instruments. During performances, positioned behind the two-story Von Trapp mansion, Tonkin will be armed with a baton, the music and a monitor, which will be broadcasting a closed-circuit feed of the action on stage. Then it’s up to her to make sure the band is in sync. “I’ll be able to see what’s happening on stage but the kids on stage won’t be able to see me,” she explained. A rehearsal last weekend marked the first time the band and actors were together in the same room.
“This is the first time I’ve ever done it this way,” says Tonkin. “I’ve done four other musicals at my previous school (Cobourg
District Collegiate Institute East) and I’ve always been on the floor, so this is definitely different.”
It’s all a matter of tempo, she says, “in between songs and making sure there’s enough music for the scene changes. It’s a matter of making everything fit.” The Sound of Music at ENSS is slated for six performances over two consecutive weekends: May 1, 2 and 3 and May 8, 9 and 10. Tickets are $15 each and on sale now at the school, downtown Brighton at Rock, Paper, Scissors and The Shoe Store, Downey’s Pharmacy in Colborne, and Bruinix Jewellers in Trenton. Log on to enssmusical.wordpress.com for more information.

Guardians of Presqu’ile Bay have had busy year arrangements with Trent University’s Environmental and Resource Studies Program for continued use of their sampling equipment. We will supplement this equipment with our own, purchased using Grant-inAid funding from Brighton Municipality. By the way, we have learned that the Trent U. environmental people have been doing monthly water chemistry sampling and analysis at inflows and outflows of waste water treatment plants in this region. The data for the Brighton WWTP will be made available to us. Parameters to be estimated in 2014 will be the same as MOE’s in 2013. Presqu’ile Bay water is well-mixed due to wind and its shallow depth, so there is little difference in water quality at different depths
and locations in the open Bay. The number of sampling locations can thus be reduced – perhaps to 5 or 6. All are at 2013 MOE locations. These will include the middle-of-the-Bay “Index Station” (for which there are historical data) and several near shore stations targeted at particular inlets, storm water or waste water inputs, and in the entrance to the Murray Canal.. A field kit will be used for water chemistry measurements, which will provide immediate results for nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus. Thus laboratory processing delays will no longer be an issue. The field kit was purchased by the Trent University environmental program primarily for GPB use. For the spring (May) 2014 sampling, some of
the Trent people will join us, and they plan to deploy a new technique. “Passive samplers” will be located at the 11 MOE locations to detect artificial sweetener molecules which are an indicator of “human source” effluent.
Because of the unexpected delay in getting the results of the 2013 MOE sampling, the “Presqu’ile Bay Data Analysis and Interpretation Workshop” planned for Trent University has been postponed again, to late August at the earliest.
In addition to attendees such as MOE staff, Trent U. faculty and graduate students, we would invite any interested Brighton municipal staff, councillors, and seriously interested Brighton residents to attend.

News - The year 2013 and early 2014 have been a busy time for the Guardians of Presqu’ile Bay (GPB). Our membership increased to 11, including a skilled graphic artist and members with aquatic sampling experience. We have drafted a constitution and applied for federal non-profit status. We submitted an application for a Grant-in-Aid to Brighton Municipality, which was successful. Our website is under construction. The incomplete version is at http://guardiansofpresquilebay.ca/ . At three times during the 2013 open water season, the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) conducted sampling at 11 locations on Presqu’ile Bay measuring water chemistry and biological parameters (including fecal coliform counts). GPB members sampled once, in mid-September, for bottom organisms and water clarity. We did not do water chemistry because we lacked the necessary equipment then. We have it now. The MOE 2013 water samples from Presqu’ile Bay have not yet been analyzed because Lake Erie samples went to the front of the queue. MOE laboratory testing is much like triage at a hospital – the more severely ill go to the head of the line. We have assurance from MOE that our samples will be processed and the results made available to us ASAP. It should be noted that MOE never committed to continuing the sampling into 2014 and beyond. It is important that it continues, especially since the oil and grit separators have not yet been installed at storm water runoffs. They were to have been installed in Summer 2013, based on what was said at a meeting of MOE, GPB, and Brighton municipal councillors and staff on May 14 2013. GPB will continue the sampling.

Belleville Olympian calls it a career

By Steve Jessel
Sports – Belleville – It’s been a long and successful career for Belleville Olympian and two-time medal winner Brian Price, and this past week the long-standing coxswain of the Canadian men’s rowing team officially called it a career after Belleville native and two-time Olympic medalist Brian Price has decided to call it a career at age 38. Price most recently won a 11 years with the national team. Price won a gold medal with silver medal at the 2012 Summer Games. Photo: Ken Light Photography the men’s eight rowing team in 2008 and followed that up with a silver in London four years later. “When you’re an Olympic athlete you make a lot of decisions that are inherently selfish decisions, where you live, when you train, it’s all regimented for you, and the family sort of has to follow along,� Price said, when asked why he was retiring. “It got to the point where now it’s time for me to think more like a dad and a husband.� 118 DUNDAS ST.

A Belleville native, Price is a survivor of childhood cancer. The treatment he received impacted his growth during his formative years. As a result, at 5’4 and 120 pounds Price had the perfect stature to become a coxswain, but competing at the Olympics was never a sure thing. Price said he remembers being at the Quinte Rowing Club in 1996 watching the Canadian rowers compete during the Summer Olympics in Atlanta. “I watched those guys competing and thought it was amazing, never thinking that this was going to be me in eight years,� he said. “At the end of the day as you progress through your sporting career, just like careers in life, you have choices and decisions to make whether you want to continue on that path, and my answer was always ‘yes.’ Yes I want to continue. Yes I think I can get better. Yes I think I can get to the next level.� After placing a disappointing fifth in his Olympic debut in Athens in 2004, Price and his team returned to the Olympic spotlight in 2008 to take home the gold medal. Price said he almost retired following that year, but after touring the country doing speaking engagements he realized there was something he was missing – the spirit of competition. Price returned to the team for the 2012 Olympics in London, winning a silver medal with six Olympic rookies on the team. “It wasn’t really so much about redemption from the previous Olympics,� Price said of winning the gold in 2008. “For me personally I knew I had that performance in me, and I knew we as a team had the ability to achieve that.� Today, Price plans to continue his career as a motivational speaker while also working with the RBC Olympian program. As a cancer survivor Price said he’s essentially the “best-case scenario� in terms of recovery from the deadly disease, and said that he felt he needed to succeed for the cancer patients who weren’t so lucky. “I didn’t just want to survive,� he said. “I wanted to live life and enjoy it, and experience it, and push it, and do it really on behalf of a lot of people who didn’t get that same opportunity, because they didn’t make it for whatever reason. I really felt I not only owed it to myself and my doctors and my parents, but also the friends of mine who didn’t make it through that struggle.� Price now lives in Orangeville, Ontario with his wife Robbi and two daughters, Peyton, aged 4, and Brianna, aged 6.
Balanced budget depends on community support partners. Some of the efficiencies included eliminating one management position, negotiating improved contracts with benefit carriers, securing a new laundry vendor, planning a larger retail presence, and signing new contracts for nonpatient transportation and equipment maintenance. “The reduction of two Alternate Level of Care days allows the closure of two ALC beds at Trenton Memorial Hospital,” Harrington said. “There could be longer wait times but we will monitor this.” Prince Edward County hospital will close three beds. Originally, there were five beds but this has been reassessed. Another reduction will be to amalgamate two floors at Belleville General Hospital, at Q4/5. High volume surgical short stays will allow for reduction of one surgical bed. Harrington said more patients can be dealt with in a short time, under 23 hours, discharged and able to go home. They will continue to divert less urgent patients away from emergency departments. Cystoscopy services will be relocated to Trenton Memorial. Harrington commented. “The real story is that despite financial pressure we will have a better, high quality care.” Harrington admitted it has been “a long journey” getting to a balanced budget. He noted that a 20-bed regional Behavioural Support Services Transition Unit will be implemented at Belleville General, to help behaviourally challenged By Kate Everson patients. News - Quinte West – The Quinte Health Care board “This is a great found out at its last meeting in Trenton that Bancroft (North new story,” he Hastings) hospital is receiving another $510,000 from the said. “We are very Ministry of Health and Long Term Care (MOHTLC)’s pleased. This is small and rural hospital transition funding. for patients with “Picton should also qualify,” commented president and dementia or chalCEO Mary Clare Egberts. lenging behaviours North Hastings previously received $490,000 from the fund to improve on patient care transitions and health record processes. The new funding of $510,000 will be spent in 2014/15 fiscal year for ECG identification systems, community assessments, enhanced after-hours XRay technician coverage and additional security to boost staff and patient safety. “Some of them didn’t feel safe,” Egberts said. To date, this funding has only been available at North Hastings hospital. The eligibility criteria for the Transformation Fund requires hospitals to be small (fewer than 2,700 acute inpatient and day surgery cases), a rural community with a population of less than 30,000 and located more than 30 minutes from a population with more than 30,000. “Using this definition, Picton hospital is small and in a community with a population of less than 30,000,” Egberts said. “However, the Ministry has determined that it takes less than 30 minutes to get to Belleville using the geographic centre of Prince Edward County as a reference point.” She did not agree with that decision and has been advocating with the South East LHIN (Local Health Integration Network) to use Picton as the reference point. “Picton should also qualify,” Egberts told the board. “We continue to get no answer.” She said it takes over 30 minutes to get from Picton to Belleville. “The definition MOH used with the centre of Prince Edward County to measure, not Picton, is absolutely crazy!” she said. “Not many live in the centre of the county.” She said the LHIN is on their side, fighting for them. “The funding of $500,000 really does make a difference,” she said. Stuart Wright agreed, “City hall should be the distance used,” he said. “That’s what the government does.”

who need a safe, controlled environment with trained staff.” He admitted the risk is that these patients will not move on but take up inpatient units. A second oncologist will be hired with funding from the Cancer Care Ontario. “We want QHC as efficient as possible,” Harrington said. “We can reduce drug costs, reduce supply waste and reduce overtime and sick time.” He said this budget has been difficult but the road ahead is even more challenging. “We are using best estimates from Ministry of Health,” he said. Harrington said revenue is going down at four hospital sites but the money is going out to the community. “Picton hospital has a Hospital in the Home project,” he said. “Now they can get care at home. As the hospital shrinks the community grows.” Dave MacKinnon asked how they can engage the community. “We need to explain the issues so we don’t get a reaction,” he said. “This is good for the patient but they don’t always see it. It’s

better care, not just more cost effective.” Baker said “patients need to change their behaviour and attitude. Come to the hospital only when they need to.” Chair Steve Blakely said these are challenging times.
“The province has not stepped up,” he said. “There is no more money in the health care system. We have at least two more years of challenges. The game is not over.” He added that other hospitals across the country are struggling even more.

News - Quinte West – A $7 million gap between revenues and expenditures was cleared up by Quinte Health Care (QHC) staff in this year’s balanced budget. “Quinte Health Care is becoming as efficient as possible,” said CEO Mary Clare Egberts at the board meeting held at Trenton Memorial Hospital March 25. “Our staff and physicians continue to rise to the challenge to find new ways of delivering high quality health care with less funding,” she said. Egberts noted that the provincial government has changed the way hospitals are funded in order to invest more money in home care, residential hospices and other community-based health care. “We absolutely believe this is the right long-term solution for our patients and the sustainability of our health care system,” she said. Karen Baker, chair of the finance committee, the amount of Ministry of Health funding won’t be known until late June. “Some of this funding is one-time only,” she added.

The Bluegrass Mountaineers will warm up Havelock By Bill Freeman
Entertainment – Havelock There will be more worldclass bluegrass music in Havelock April 11 when The Bluegrass Mountaineers hit the stage at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 389. The acclaimed ensemble’s music has been described as “old-time, claw hammering,
classic country yodelling (with) twin fiddles” and that’s just a small part of the seven member ensemble that now spans four generations with the addition of eight-yearold mandolin wunderkind Chris Wilcox. The Akron, Ohio-based group will be in Havelock as part of the always popular
Northern Bluegrass Committee’s Ontario tour which has been making regular winter stops in Havelock for several years. Jim Hayward and Willow Ridge will open the show at 7:30 p.m. The Bluegrass Mountaineers are truly a family entity spanning the generations and have never lost sight of the classic bluegrass rhythms.

ing Mother Nature as a treatment technology. Now, there are more than 1,000 similar working lagoons across the province. This time out, MOE has sanctioned a pilot project to test the use of “PooGloos” at the wastewater treatment facility on County Road 64. The iglooshaped devices, also called Bio-Domes, were developed with small municipalities in mind, offering the ability to enhance the performance of a wastewater lagoon treatment system at a fraction of the cost of mechanical plants and still maintain compliance. Once wastewater supervisor Keith Lee heard about the new technology, it took him about 15 hours of online research to track it down. “I thought it was too good to be true,” he said. “I was trying to find something that would treat ammonia because it’s the only issue we’ve got.” And this time, it didn’t take much convincing to get MOE on board. Wastewater ammonia made headlines in 2012, when ministry officials issued an order to ensure the municipality was following an action plan to reduce the levels in the sewage treatment lagoon. “When they saw the information, they wanted it up and running,” Lee said. “About three or four weeks after they were installed, we saw a difference between what was coming in and what was going out. And the numbers started climbing.” Halfway through a one-year trial, Lee is impressed with the results and said he’s getting inquiries from municipalities from across the province. According to the manufacturer, Wastewater Compliance Systems, based in Utah, Poo-Gloos “use a thriving bacterial film to consume pollutants. Each unit consists of a set of four progressively smaller plastic domes nested within each other like Russian nesting dolls and filled with plastic packing to provide a large surface area for bacte-

rial growth. Rings of tubes sit at the base and bubble air up through the cavities between domes. The air exits a hole in the top of each dome. As air moves through the dome, it draws water from the bottom of the lagoon up through the dome and out the top.” One Poo-Gloo creates 260 square metres of surface area for bacterial growth while taking up only 2.6 square metres of space on the bottom of a lagoon. The combination of large surface area, aeration, constant mixing and a dark environment that limits algae growth make the units capable of consuming pollutants at rates comparable with mechanical plants. And, the operating expenses are a fraction of those at a mechanical plant, using the same amount of electricity as a 75-watt bulb, and requiring little maintenance. “I find it fascinating as to how simple the product is, how economical it is to run and the end result in treating wastewater,” Lee said. “Before winter started, we were
up to 80 per cent ammonia removal. It’s doing exactly what it’s supposed to do.” In-house data shows ammonia reduction has averaged 43 per cent per month since October. “One of the pluses is it works all year round,” says Lee. Engineers say the Brighton system will need 156 PooGloos installed for the local facility. But the money to finance the project is already in the municipal coffers from a wastewater reserve fund. “If municipal council puts a new wastewater treatment plant or not, we’ll still have to look after our ammonia levels,” said acting environmental services manager Bim McFall. “The ministry standards are very strict.” Lee said a team of Environment Canada researchers came to Brighton last year to test biosolids from the wastewater lagoon. “They’re finding that lagoons treat pharmaceuticals better than wastewater treatment plants,” he said.

Stirling business owner planting idea of Sunflower Festival
By Stephen Petrick
News – Stirling-Rawdon – Can a volunteer host a big summer festival in small-town Ontario, with no cost for the public to enter and food served virtually for free? One Stirling-Rawdon business owner has faith it can happen. Tina Koonings spoke to StiringRawdon’s BIA committee last Thursday seeking support for a Sunflower Festival she’s planning for Aug. 2224 at the Henry Street Park. “I’m hoping everyone will go home from this saying, ‘Wow, Stirling is the most amazing town,’� said Koonings, who owns
a business on West Front Street. If it goes as Koonings plans, several businesses and community groups will donate food, such as hamburgers and corn on the cob, for the event. She envisions fun games such as potato sack races, balloon artists for kids, a public movie viewing for the Saturday night, and outdoor church services on the Sunday morning. She says she’s spoken to all kinds of community groups and volunteers about launching the festival and many have committed to help. She’ll continue to solicit donations and volunteers as the event
draws near. Koonings emphasized the importance of having a free event to raise the spirit of the community. “If we can get this down there’s no other festival that will be this cheap and bring out all kinds of neighbours, regardless of income,� she said. “Everyone can enjoy it.� She says the festival can be advertised all summer in an innovative way. She hopes to plant large sunflowers on roads leading in and out of Stirling, with the help of volunteers. Koonings shrugged off comments from BIA members suggesting that marketing the festival,

handling the logistics of sunflower planting, and finding volunteers will be a challenge. She said she’s determined to work on these issues and will be happy if the festival goes ahead, even if it draws just a few dozen people. “If it’s small, that’s OK,â€? she said. “ It’s the first year ‌ I think it’s a beautiful idea. A lot of other people do, too.â€?  Koonings spoke to StirlingRawdon council about the event during question period at its March 5 meeting. Mayor Rodney Cooney thanked her for the presentation.

They have until 2 p.m. on Sept. 12 to file nomination papers. In 2010, Cooney won the mayor’s seat rather convincingly, collecting 1,062 votes, defeating rivals Vicky Adamson (678) and Rob Bastedo (578). Attempts to reach Cooney for comment were unsuccessful.

Local students win medals at COSSA gymnastics championships By Steve Jessel
Sports – Belleville played host to the top gymnastics talent in the region on Friday, when the Central Ontario Secondary School Athletics (COSSA) gymnastics championships took to the floors, mats and beams of the Quinte Bay Gymnastics Club. Level 1 results It was a successful championship for the Level 1 team from Centennial Secondary School in Belleville, as they took home the top team prize with a 88.75 score, narrowly edging out secondplace Moira which finished with 88.35. In the vault, Centennial’s Miquela Barriage came in first while Moira’s Crystal MacDonald finished third, but MacDonald would get her revenge during the bars section, taking first place followed by Centennial’s Chelsea Troke in second and schoolmate Ainsley Matthewson in third. In the beam, Centennial’s Madeline Green placed first and St. Theresa
Secondary School’s Hailey McKeown took home third, and on the floor St. Theresa’s Olivia Melnyk was the top local finisher, placing second.

Hannah also placed second in bars while Maracle and Armstrong placed second and third, respectively in floor. Armstrong would also edge out Maracle for top overall competitor for Level 2. Level 3/4/5/6 results In Level 3, strong performances from Moira’s Tasha Downer
(first in vault, third overall) and Centennial’s Kayla Titus (first in bars) were not enough to overcome the team from St. Peter’s Catholic Secondary School, which finished first.

Junior A Golden Hawks ousted after strong playoff run By Stephen Petrick
Sports – Trenton – The Trenton Golden Hawks Junior A hockey team saw its season come to an end recently, but only after a spirited playoff run. The team was ousted from an Ontario Junior A Hockey League conference semifinal playoff series by the Kingston Voyageurs, 4 games to 2. The final game was a 9 - 7 win for Kingston in Game 6 on Friday, March 21.
But the Hawks completed an improbable come-frombehind victory over the Whitby Fury in a first-round playoff series to earn the matchup with the always-strong Voyageurs. After losing the first two games to Whitby 7 - 1 and 4 - 0, the Hawks rallied to beat Whitby four straight times to win the best-of-seven series. The Hawks would go on to win two of the first four games in their series with
Kingston by scores of 3 - 2 in Game 2 and 4 - 2 in Game 4. However, the Voyageurs won the final two games to advance to the next round. The Hawks got great playoff performances from Zach de Concilys, who led the team in scoring with six goals and four assists, and defenceman Tyler Mayea, who scored two goals and six assists. Denny Dubblestyne played well in goal for the Hawks, posting a 6-win, 6-loss re-
cord and a .871 save percentage throughout the playoffs

Junior ice dance champs enjoy Norwood visit By Bill Freeman
Sports - Asphodel-Norwood – Mackenzie Bent and Garrett MacKeen had a blast in Norwood Sunday afternoon. The Canadian Junior Ice Dance champions, fresh from another world championship test in SoďŹ a, Bulgaria, stepped out of the pressurecooker atmosphere of international competition and had a little fun during the Norwood District Figure Skating Club’s Big Dreams carnival Sunday afternoon in front of a large crowd at the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre. “With all the stress and all the pressure of competing you kind of get out of the joy of skating and we really do enjoy skating,â€? Mackenzie, 16, told the Independent as they prepared to wow the crowd with two dynamic showcase skates. “We love skating at carnivals,â€? she said. “We just play around a little bit; you don’t have to be so strict with the rules and you can have a lot of fun.â€? The ďŹ rst routine was their free dance competition program with a few show tunes thrown in to “change it upâ€? a little bit. They followed up with a showcase dance to Marilyn and Joe. Both were dazzling and left no doubt why the Scarborough Ice Dance Elite Club duo won the national championship and ďŹ nished ďŹ fth at the worlds last year and took a gold medal at the ISU junior Grand Prix in Riga, Latvia. Mackenzie and Garrett, 19, have been skating together for nine years and their lofty goal has always been a national title and when they stood on the medal podium it was in every sense a Big Dream accomplished. “To me it was ďŹ nally relief,â€? said Garrett. “So much work goes into
training and every day skating it was kind of nice to recognized for everything we put into it,â€? Mackenzie added. They’re ready to graduate to the even loftier reaches of senior skating and are both conďŹ dent and excited about the prospects ahead. “I don’t think it will be that big a jump to senior,â€? said Mackenzie. “We’ve sort of been aiming for senior during all three years we competed at junior so it’s always been in the back of our minds. I think we’ve always been training to compete at that level.â€? They’ve trained with some of Team Canada’s best senior skaters and soaked up all they could. “That’s been a neat experience,â€? Mackenzie said. “You watch them train and you take things out of the effort they put in and how they handle every situation.â€? The couple has made friends on the international circuit and can balance the hard-nosed business of competition with off-ice camaraderie. “They’re really amazing people. While we’re at the rink competing we’re all in the zone but we can step out of it and really enjoy each other’s company. There are so many wonderful teams out there and a lot of talent and we recognize that.â€? Both started out as solo skaters but soon found their niche in dance. “I like being on the ice with another person, it’s more fun to train and to compete was a little less nerve-racking,â€? Mackenzie said. “I did free but didn’t last long,â€? Garrett said. “I basically stayed until one of my friends quit then I started with Mackenzie. It makes skating more enjoyable.â€? “The ice is kind of in your heart,â€? Mackenzie said. “It’s a challenging sport.â€?

are Century Game Park near Warkworth, where owner Rod Potter raises bison and elk, and Haute Goat, outside Campbellford, whose owners, Debbie Nightingale and Shan Jaffe, make goat cheese chocolates. There will also be workshops and demonstrations, and there’s even a goat der4by and fashion show being planned. Throughout the day, Aron Theatre, which is presenting the festival, will be running short videos that highlight fun food ideas. Like the festival, there will be no charge for admission. “It’s all about the local farms
and food,” and how to utilize what they have to offer, such as cooking with maple syrup, says Jackie Igleheart, a member of the organizing committee made up of Aron volunteers. Increasing public awareness of what’s available in the area will add to the “sustainability of our local farms,” and that’s important, says Sandy Chapman, another volunteer. “We’ve got a lovely community here, we want to highlight it,” says Joan Sheppard, who’s also on the committee. Local treasures include Empire Cheese, which has won many awards. “People drive great

distances for a bag of curds.” Downtown merchants stand to gain from increased business generated by an influx of visitors drawn to Campbellford for the festival; for the Aron it’s an opportunity to raise its profile as “a cultural hub of the community,” Sheppard says. “We’re very lucky” to have a theatre with state-of-the-art technology that shows current movies, Igleheart says.
The mission of the festival committee is not only to raise awareness of the Campbellford/Trent Hills area but also the relationship that exists between local food vendors, suppliers, farmers, merchants and consumers. Sheppard says the festival is getting a good response from the people and groups she’s talked to in the farming and business communities.
“Everybody is excited, I haven’t had a naysayer yet,” she said. The committee has already set up a website, to post information about the event and to accept vendor registrations. It’s also looking for sponsors and volunteers to help make the day a success. Anyone interested is invited to call Sheppard at 705-6534747.
Invisible Ribbon Gala to celebrate 10th anniversary News – Trenton — On Saturday, May 3, the Trenton Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC) will host the 10th annual Invisible Ribbon Gala, an event that raises awareness about those who wear the “invisible uniform”: the families who support our troops. The event brings the community and military together to raise funds for the MFRC and to recognize the challenges faced by military families. “Military families live with stresses that the average Canadian family never experiences, certainly not at the rate or intensity you find within the military environment,” said Tamara Kleinschmidt, interim executive director of the Trenton MFRC. “Though military families are strong and resilient, having supports in place when families need them is
essential to maintaining that strength and resilience.” Kleinschmidt pointed out the country depends on the Armed Forces to be responsive to any number of extraordinary circumstances around the globe. “The Trenton MFRC, a nonprofit organization, identifies the needs of the military community at 8 Wing Trenton and creates an environment where families can minimize the stresses associated with the military environment and flourish,” Kleinschmidt said. “Our families truly are the strength behind the uniform.” One hundred percent of proceeds will go to the MFRC, support Kleinschmidt said is vital to the help that the resource centre provides to families. Funds raised support critical programs the MFRC provides. They include emergency and
respite care for families, language classes, counselling, and support groups that foster positive mental health and strong resilient families. The Invisible Ribbon Gala will be an elegant evening featuring a gourmet dinner paired with local wines, a silent and live auction, and entertainment featuring the 8 Wing Band. It will be held at the National Air Force Museum of Canada. All members of the community and military are welcome to attend. Tickets are $100 and can be purchased by phone, online, or at the MFRC, 50 Rivers Drive East. For more information about the event, or to learn how you can get involved, visit www. invisibleribbon.ca or call the Trenton MFRC at 613-9653575.
Three men fined for July deer hunt News - Three Ontario men have pleaded guilty and been fined a total of $5,000 for unlawfully hunting white-tailed deer. Andrew McCullough of Tamworth was fined $1,000 for hunting white-tailed deer during the closed season; $1,000 for having a loaded firearm and discharging it from on top of a vehicle; and $1,000 for making false and misleading statements to a conservation officer during an investigation. He also received a three-year hunting
suspension. Arthur McCullough of Parham was fined $1,000 for hunting white-tailed deer during the closed season and received a three-year hunting suspension. Neil McCullough of Parham was fined $1,000 for possessing illegally killed white-tailed deer and received a one-year hunting suspension. The court heard that on two separate occasions in July 2013, during the closed season, the three men shot one female
and one male white-tailed deer. Andrew McCullough shot both deer while Arthur McCullough assisted with the buck and Neil McCullough assisted with the doe. Andrew McCullough fired the initial shots at the buck from the roof of a truck where he was attempting to get a better vantage point for a clear shot. Justice of the Peace Jack Chiang heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice, Kingston, on March 25, 2014.

Local musician donates proceeds for Daffodil Month By Steve Jessel
News - April is Daffodil Month for the Canadian Cancer Society, and in Belleville one long-time musician is doing his best to make a difference with the sales of his latest CD. Eugene Deline has been making music for over 35 years, but for the month of April he’s decided to do something a little different. Deline is donating 100 per cent of proceeds from his latest album Luck and Skill to the Canadian Cancer Society throughout the month, and he’s Belleville musician Eugene Deline is donating all royalties from the sale of doing his best to get his message out his CD Luck and Skill to the Canadian Cancer Society for the month of April. there. Newspaper articles and radio spots have helped Deline get some Photo: Steve Jessel
significant airtime in Campbellford, Tyendinega and on CJBQ, and Deline said he’s considering taking it to radio stations outside the region as well to help raise funds. “It’s a diverse package - there’s no filler on there,” Deline said of the album, a 10-track fusion of rock, contemporary and blues music. Deline and producer Eric Baragar spent 27 months to record the album, which was finished over the summer. Baragar said he compares Deline’s singing to Leonard Cohen on one end of the spectrum, and “Mick Jagger on the other end.” “A lot of it is imagination, although I’m sure that some of it
comes from experience,” Deline said, when asked where he draws his inspiration to write music. Deline estimates he’s written over 3,000 songs since 1976. “It stems from writing,” he added, explaining the creative side of writing and creating music was what he enjoyed the most. “Playing and singing are secondary.” Deline said he’s had a number of people in his extended family who have either contracted cancer and passed away, or are currently battling the disease. His sister died of leukemia in 2005 while his wife’s son died years prior at the age of 36. He said his sister-in-law is also cur-
rently fighting cancer, and that they were the reason he wanted to donate to the Canadian Cancer Society. “Who hasn’t had someone pass away from cancer,” he said. “Either they’re related to somebody or they know somebody...” Luck and Skill is available at Quinte Mall at Sam the Record Man and at Harmony Music Plus in Belleville and costs $10. Deline will also being playing a live set during Night Kitchen Too at the Pinnacle Playhouse on April 26. Deline also asks for people to call into local radio stations to request songs from the album if they enjoy his music.
Both judges and audience roused by young speakers illustrations as to how people can drive you crazy, the worldwide issue of cyber bullying, building up courage to attempt the Disney Summit Plummet Challenge and the fear of Friday the Thirteenth. One contestant recited the story of the Cremation of Sam McGee, another featured the tourist destination of Puerto Rico, and another told of Gandhi, “the man who changed the world forever.” There were talks about conquering stage fright, self-image and the difficulties encountered when one is vertically challenged. Another spoke with feeling about the 16-yearold education activist, Malala Yousafzai from Pakistan. Once all the speakers had completed their presentations, it was time for the two scrutineers to tally the judg-
es’ scores and determine the winners. The winner in the primary division was Carter Leveque of Belleville, who spoke about overcoming his fear and tackling the Disney Summit Plummet. The junior division was won by Belleville resident, Jeanette Huang, who talked about the very appropriate topic of stage fright. First place in the Intermediate division was won by Madelyn Sheppard also from Belleville, who spoke with feeling about the growing crisis involving cyber bullying.

53 branches, being held in Deseronto on April 5. Lynn Deering, Zone F3 Youth Education Chairman, welcomed a crowd of speakers, their supporters and Legion personnel, saying that all the speakers should be proud of themselves for having reached that level of competition. She commented, “It says a lot for the youth of today and it says a lot for the parents who have taken the time to be here, to support you.” She went on to say that the Royal Canadian Legion spends thousands of dollars annually on their youth education programs, with the public speaking competition being a small portion of that. Branch President Marie Gordon extended best wishes to the competitors and charged all to “have a fun day!” She added, saying to the young speakers, “Don’t get yourselves all tied up in knots. If you forget something, just think we’ve all forgotten something at some time in our lives. Just go ahead!” Judges Bonnie Danes, Wayne Doyle and Dianne Cole, were charged with the difficult task of marking the speeches, basing their decisions on appearance, manner, topic choice, material, language and literary form. One by one, the young speakers, approached the front of the room where they faced friends, family, fellow competitors and judges to deliver animated, lively, sometimes sobering, humourous or thought provoking talks on a variety of subjects. These included in part, a message about the fun of owning a dog, camping experiences,

A different brand of country music By Steve Jessel
Entertainment - Belleville Juno award-winning country artist Corb Lund is coming to the Empire Theatre on April 10 and after a stint in Europe Lund said he’s itching to kick off his 2014 Spring Thaw Tour back on home soil. “I’ve been overseas for a couple months and I’m raring to go,� Lund said. An eclectic and prolific songwriter, Lund’s country and rural roots shine through in his music and lyrics, and over a long and successful career he’s been recognized with a laundry list of awards, including being named the Canadian Country Music Association’s Roots Artist of the Year for seven consecutive years. A self-professed history buff, Lund sings about what he knows - bovines, bibles, vintage mo-
torcycles and everything in between. That’s part of what makes him popular he thinks, and he says he’s a different breed than the country music that’s played on the radio these days. “It’s not really commercially formulated,� he said. “It’s kind of on the fringes of country, almost underground country. It’s excellent beer-drinking music.� Lund’s family are long-time cattle ranchers from Alberta, and he said he draws inspiration for his music from his family and their history. “A lot of the country on the radio isn’t really that rural anymore, and I think thats part of our appeal,� he said. “I think we also appeal to the urban audience because our sound is a little more dirty and edgy than what’s on the radio too.� Corb’s latest album Cabin
Fever was released in 2012, and marked his seventh release, and second in the United States. Unsurprisingly, Lund said he’s seen significant success in rural American markets including Texas and Oklahoma, and that it’s always a bit of culture shock to come from playing shows in farm country to playing in front of a more urban crowd like in British Columbia where he’s also popular. And at the end of the day, the live shows are what he says he lives for. “I love the energy exchange,� he said. “Making records is okay, but I really love the live shows. Playing live is really a magical space you get to, it’s unlike anything else in life.� Tickets for Lund’s show in Belleville can be found on the Empire Theatre website at www.theempiretheJuno award winning country artist Corb Lund is playing Belleville’s Empire Theatre on April 10.

TRAVEL
Geneva, Switzerland’s landmark: The Jet D’eau Lifestyles - Geneva, Switzerland’s Jet d’Eau (water jet) is visible throughout the city. It’s one of the world’s largest water fountains and erupts from the nozzle at a speed of 200 km. per hour, spewing out about 500 litres of water per second to an altitude of approximately 140 metres. It’s located where Lake Geneva empties into the Rhone River, and it’s quite a remarkable sight! Visitors can get their very own up close and personal viewing via a stone jetty on the left bank of the lake but if there’s a sudden wind change, these visitors may also get unexpectedly drenched. Therefore, the fountain is shut off when it’s particularly windy or cold. It’s also shut off overnight. It does, however, operate in the evenings, too, between spring and autumn and is illuminated by several coloured lights (somewhat like our own Niagara Falls). On a sunny day, the water jet is often accompanied by an exquisite rainbow. The original purpose of the Jet d’Eau was to produce electricity for Geneva’s watchmakers, and the first installation took place in 1886. It soon became apparent that this was also a very popular tourist attraction, so it was moved a little further upstream, to its present site in 1891, where the latest upgraded version was erected in a partially submerged pumping station in 1951. And now that I’ve mentioned watchmakers in the previous paragraph, it’s probably not a surprise to you that Geneva is also known as “the birthplace of watchmaking”. There are a lot of watches made here and a plethora of watchmakers’ shops. I was told there are about 30 million watches exported yearly and that Rolex alone employs more than 4,000 workers. I even discovered that my hotel, the Hotel Cornavin, had the largest mechanical clock in the world right in its lobby and it’s listed in the Guinness Book of World Records. I also learned that Geneva Tourism (www. geneva-tourism.ch) even puts out a “Geneva Watch Tour” brochure, and I covered much of this pedestrian route on my trek with my English-speaking guide, Sandrina Palomera. Sandrina and I strolled to Geneva’s famous Flower Clock, with its 6500 flowers in the dial and the world’s longest seconds-hand. We also passed by the Cite de Temps (an iconic site for Swatch fans), the Piaget Time Gallery with its historical timepieces, the Patek Philippe Museum depicting 500 years of watchmaking history, and the Museum of Clocks & Mechanical Instruments with its collection of antique clocks and watches. In addition to these timely sites, we also visited many of Geneva’s other
major attractions, including Old Town, perched on a hillside, with its maze of cobblestone streets, Maison Tavel, the oldest house in the city, Town Hall, where the League of Nations and Red Cross were founded, and St. Peter’s Cathedral, built in the 12th century on top of archaeological sites that date back to the first century and transformed from a Roman Catholic church to a Protestant place of worship in the 16th century. We also visited the Promenade de la Treille with its long wooden bench and spectacular overview of the city framed by old chestnut trees, Reformation Wall with its large statues of the major participants in the Protestant Reformation including John Calvin and John Knox, the tomb of the Duke of Brunswick, who bequeathed his fortune to this city in exchange for this impressive mausoleum that was built in 1879 in neo-gothic style, and the statue of Sisi, the Empress of Austria and the Queen of Hungary who was murdered while visiting in Geneva. After my walking tour, I still wanted to do some more exploring, so I used my transportation pass from the hotel to take a ferry across the lake. Later, I used this same pass to hop on a bus to check out Palais des Nations, now the European headquarters of the United Nations, the famous giant ‘Broken Chair’ monument erected by Handicap International, and the International Museum of the Red Cross

and Red Crescent which showcases the activities of this humanitarian movement. Geneva is a very cosmopolitan destination, with a rich cultural life. There are lots of high-end shops, wonderful parks, and a great variety of restaurant choices. It’s located in southwest Switzerland near the French border on beautiful Lake Geneva at the foot of the
Jura Mountains and it’s very close to the Alps. The setting is spectacular, but it’s that water jet, in particular, that immediately reminds me of my whereabouts and it’s that Jet d’Eau that’s most often featured in the promotional photos of this enticing destination.

LIFESTYLES
The Good Earth: Who ya gonna call? By Dan Clost
Lifestyles - Yes, spring is coming. I know because you are in the store chatting up summer projects. One of the underlying concerns you ask us, Gentle Reader, is, “Can you recommend a company?” How do you know if you’ve selected the right company to do your work? A very simple answer would be to select only companies that are members of Landscape Ontario. That is simplistic to the extreme. There are many companies and individuals who have not joined this horticultural trades association that create exceptional landscapes. I do hope they would. More about this later. Another answer would be to go to a local garden centre and ask whom they would recommend. Many will have business cards on hand. This will not guarantee a good fit but it will get you off to a good start. However, there are few facts you should know about these recommendations. Our company also
has a board with many cards on it. We don’t recommend a single one of them; we can’t. Here’s why. The first of the facts is that all of those businesses are our customers, as is the case at other stores. We can’t offer ABC Landscaping at the expense of DEF Landscaping unless we want DEF to go elsewhere. As well, we can’t just suggest to the customers that ABC is the company they need. Perhaps ABC is one of the best businesses around for gardening and you want a gazebo. An important clarification: We don’t not recommend a company but if one of our trade businesses begin to receive complaints, we’ll investigate. Maybe a bad customer? If the concerns are valid then we will pull the card. Here’s what we do and this is what most other outlets will do as well. They will listen to what the customers are looking for and select two or three companies for contacting. We’re usually
spot-on in matching the ability of the company and the need of the customer. It’s part of our business survival skills. So now Gentle Reader, aka Gentle Customer, you need to call those companies. You have to start somewhere. In today’s social media environment, checking out a potential company is simple; check out their website. Two things will be immediately apparent. Do you like the layout, organization, and language on that page? Look at their portfolio. Here you’re not looking at the quality of the work, that should be a given. What you’re looking for is a tone, a feel with which you can relate. This theme will bring itself to the fore, natural, flowing or formal, wood and stone or chrome and stone, etc. For sure, there will be an example of a special project that doesn’t fall into their normal designs and it will be there to show you their range. Now, you’re ready to make the phone call and set up an appointment. You may
meet with the owner or a designer who will be working with you. During the conversation, you will be asked many questions that might not seem connected to building a flowerbed and patio. How much time do you want to spend gardening? What will be the main use of this space? Of course, the obvious one of budget will occur sometime during that first visit. By the way, the better prepared you are, the better the results of the meeting. You too, are responsible for asking questions about the company. What certifications do they hold, what organisations do they belong to, do they use subcontractors who are certified etc.? If everybody is pleased, the designer will go away and get to work. Soon, they will be back with a plan that fits your budget and, hopefully, fits your concept. Now compare this plan to the one(s) the other companies presented you. You did get more than one quote, right? The
value of the quotes should be fairly close. Differences might be in selection of materials or the size of the plants. Sometimes you might see a low-ball quote, one that just doesn’t compare. Be very careful and ask yourself, “What did they miss?” Maybe they actually can do a superb job for that price, but be skeptical. You’ve selected the company and are about to sign the contract. Take some time to read it through. Visit the Landscape Ontario Horticultural Association’s webpage and spend some time there. You will see there are two streams, one for homeowner, one for businesses. Go to the business side fist. You will see everything that is happening in the trade, as well the voluntary code of ethics. You will get a good understanding of the trade. Now, you’re ready to pick your company. You’ll be ready to get to it as soon as spring does arrive.
Who would have guessed? This skeptical reporter gets a psychic reading By Steve Jessel
Entertainment – Belleville – I’ve never been to a psychic expo before. I’ve never had a “reading” done, I’ve never had my fortune told, and while my parents had a deck of tarot cards I used to play with as a kid, I think I was more interested in the colourful illustrations than anything else. With this in mind, I headed to the annual Belleville psychic expo over the weekend to see what the buzz was about, and the first thing I noticed was just how busy the event was. The organizer, Linda Fulcher, had told me the event can get quite hectic, but on Saturday afternoon the venue was jam-packed with people browsing items and waiting their turn for a reading. And readings certainly seemed to be the main attraction – in every corner of the room, pairings hunkered over their tables, totally oblivious to the world around them.
If you haven’t guessed by now, I’m what people at the expo would likely refer to as a “skeptic.” Growing up, my single mother was definitely a spiritual person, but she never forced her beliefs on my brother or myself. Instead, she let us make up our own minds about what was “real” and what wasn’t, and I had always tended towards concrete facts and evidence and away from spirituality and religion. When I first previewed the event a couple weeks ago, Linda had followed up afterward, offered to arrange a reading for me during the event. Initially I wasn’t sure I would take her up on the offer, but then I began to wonder - we’ve all had friends who have been to a psychic and absolutely swear by the results, and even as “skeptical” as I am, Linda had definitely piqued my curiosity. Vowing to keep an open mind about the subject, I decided to take her up on the offer, and
on Sunday I had a very basic reading done. My psychic was a middle-aged man going by the name Paul Pacific, touting a business card that proclaimed him as “Canada’s Barefoot Prophet.” Charismatic and friendly, (and barefoot as expected) Paul very quickly set the ground rules for our session together by asking one quick question. “Are you a skeptical journalist?” he asked me. “I don’t think you become a journalist without having a healthy amount of skepticism,” I replied. The cynic in me would say that simple question likely set the tone for the reading - knowing that I’m a newspaper reporter who is also skeptical of psychics, it would maybe make sense for Paul to tone down his predictions

and perhaps maintain a more general tone. Regardless, Paul quickly got down to work, using a technique known as numerology to draw a connection between my birth date and my personal characteristics. Paul spent the next five minutes extolling my various virtues based on those numbers, and while I personally strive to be many of the things he described, even on my best days I’m not the saint he described. Some of his observations were uncanny in their accuracy - how I value my close friends, my introverted nature and my tendency to feel empathy for others in particular, but again the cynic in me rears its ugly head. How much can he tell about me based

on my reactions to his questions? Does he maybe start with a general question and then build a “character profile” for me based on my answers and subtle reactions? That’s my guess anyway. In conclusion, I came away impressed, but also mildly disappointed. I can definitely see the attraction of having a reading done, but this one experience was never going to change my mind. I didn’t go in expecting a lifetime of cynicism to be washed away with a simple five-minute session, but there’s certainly a small part of me that yearned for something bigger than the nuts and bolts of everyday life. Unfortunately, that something probably has nothing to do with adding up the numbers of my birthday.
Tanya Nestoruk is one of 26 ambassadors selected by Looking for a Sustainable Future to encourage young people to come up with a project that will put their vision for a better Canada into action. Photo: Submitted
that could have a lasting impact on the young people she’ll meet this month to talk about the Our Canada Project. OCP is an initiative of Learning for a Sustainable Future designed to help youth put into action their vision for a better Canada. As OCP ambassador for Eastern Ontario Nestoruk will meet with at least 12 different groups – schools, sports teams and youth service organizations, for example – to encourage their participation in a nation-wide effort to build a sustainable future. Her presentation includes brainstorming to come up with a project “they could create in the community” which they can then share online “so other people can see and be inspired.” Project ideas include community gardens, bike share programs, environmental education
programs, waste and water festivals, recycling clubs, food security symposiums, sustainable energy initiatives, and other sustainability campaigns. “I”ve always had a passion for sustainability,” says Nestoruk, a graduate of Campbellford District High School, who helped launch the school’s environmental group. She’s a huge advocate “of going green on a small scale” because changes at the individual level “can make a difference.” A fourth-year student studying environmental governance at the University of Guelph, Nestoruk, 21, wants “to get involved with environmental awareness campaigns” after she graduates. If your school or community group is interested in having her make a presentation or wants more information email Tanya.nestoruk@live. ca or call 705-653-0687.
Group wants more bang for buck with Canada Day fireworks show fundraising campaign.
 “More Bang for the Buck!� is the theme behind our fundraising endeavor, and the more money we generate, the bigger and better the show,� remarked Armstrong.
 About $10,000 is needed to put on the kind of display that the City of Quinte West has become accustomed to showcasing on Canada Day. Letters have been sent out to local business and industry asking for sponsorship. Local service clubs, church groups and clubs have been approached to help man collection stations at various businesses (Smylies, Freshco, Metro, LCBO, The Beer Store) prior to Canada Day.
Volunteers are also being sought out to collect donations at Centennial Park during the event itself. Donation cans will be distributed throughout the community and local banks are being approached to allow for the cans to be stationed with their respective tellers to kick off the campaign. 
 For further information about the A committee is raising funds for Quinte West’s Canada Day fireworks show. The committee consists Quinte West Canada Day Fireworks, of (front row) Harm Zylstra, Mayor John Williams, Pat Clark, (second row) Marilyn Harper, Bob Wanplease contact Armstrong at namaker, Cheryl Paul, Shawn Ellis and

all. In my view, abstraction is the key to really seeing. So, I totally agree with Freeman Patterson’s observation that ‘photography is the art of seeing.’� Hoag says his “keenest interest within art lies at the intersection of representational and abstract imagery. This is where the recognizable and banal forms of every day life can be innovatively recombined
into freshly created forms. I especially enjoy the overlap between the natural and built environments, which is what I try to get at in my photographs and paintings.� Hoag’s artworks (along with works by Brian Tyson and Denny Manchee) will remain on view until April 19. Pop-Up art is an ongoing event in Warkworth, to help improve Main Street’s streetscape.

Entertainment - Campbellford - Gary Hoag loves radio and has since he was 10 years old. The CKOL announcer is also an artist, and is currently exhibiting four of his works as part of Pop-Up Art in Warkworth, at 27 Main St. Hoag recently celebrated his first anniversary as the host of the Red Rocket Radio Show on CKOL. The show is an eclectic mix of jazz, classic rock, R & B and soul (among other genres). A photographer since the late 1970s, he started painting in the early 2000s. His favourite subject matter, he says, is “the artistic collision between the natural and the built environments,� which he fashions into abstract imagery in awardwinning photographs. Hoag then chooses certain of his photographs to do large-scale blowups, mostly on paper. His materials include everything from acrylics, house paint, to ground up chalk, as well as liberal amounts of metal leaf. The radio host and artist has exhibited his photographs numerous times in Toronto, and recently as part of the Spirit of the Hills exhibit at the Warkworth Maple Syrup Festival last month. He says he would enjoy an exhibit of his paintings and photographs together, which he hopes to achieve in future. When asked to describe his art process, Hoag replies: “The natural and built environments are replete with the basic elements of graphic design and art. Light, line, colour and form simply abound, wherever we may look. Unfortunately, not many people actually see the visual richness surrounding us

Municipality hands out special award for group who saved badly wounded hunter By John Campbell
News – Hastings – Andrew Conte wouldn’t be alive today if it wasn’t for the quick thinking of his hunting buddies. The 43-year-old Trent Hills resident inadvertently shot himself in the chest last November while out hunting and would have bled to death had his friends not got him medical help as swiftly as they did, despite being deep in the woods north of Madoc. An eyewitness account of how they managed the feat was the highlight of the evening at the fifth annual Trent Hills Civic Awards Ceremony held last Friday. Conte’s rescuers were honoured with a special award presented by the municipality. The community is “incredibly proud of what you did,” CAO Mike Rutter told the group. In an interview after the awards Conte described what happened that morning on Nov. 4. It was the first day of hunting season and he was walking through the woods around 8:30 a.m. “trying to push deer” to where his friends were. While cutting through the swamp, he tripped and fell backward into the icy water. He let go of his 30-30 rifle and it struck a log, causing it to discharge. A bullet smashed through a couple of ribs on his right side and “blew a hole the size of a golf ball” when it exited
his back, Conte said. He radioed for help but feared the worst. “I figured that was it, I knew I was hit hard,” he said. “I thought my time was ticking, and it was. I lost three pints of blood.” Paul Battman was the first to arrive and he applied pressure to Conte’s wound. He alerted Scott Campbell how serious was the situation and said they needed a plan. What followed was described in a written account prepared by Campbell, the head operator at the municipality’s water treatment plant, that was read out at the Hastings Civic Centre by Rutter. Campbell said he radioed Shawn Murphy to call 911 and to ask for an ambulance and an helicopter. He instructed Tim Deschamps to go to Highway 62 to meet the paramedics. Campbell, Murphy and Will Orr then grabbed chainsaws to remove trees that had fallen across the bike trail to clear the way for the four-wheeler. Chris York got a truck and had it waiting at the clearing by the camp. Battman continued to apply pressure to Conte’s wound and hold his head out of the water while waiting for Charles Bennett to arrive. The two of them got their friend out of the marsh and Conte was able to walk 100 yards “before he had to lie down,” Campbell said. “When we got there Andrew looked pretty rough, very white and shaking.”
They strapped Conte onto the Suzuki with Murphy at the wheel; the others walked beside and behind the fourwheeler to make sure he stayed on. More help appeared on the scene with the arrival of three nurses – Jennifer Anthony, Catherine Jonas and Kim Sachs – all members of the Madoc volunteer fire department, who had been hunting in the area. Andrew Bennett drove the truck that carried Conte to where paramedics were waiting. He was put in the ambulance and then transferred to the helicopter and taken to Kingston General Hospital. “All (the) guys had a job (to do) and they did them well,” Campbell said, “and it all worked out.” What his eight friends did that day, with the help of the others, was “unbelievable,” Conte said. Their hunting camp is six kilometres off a maintained road and he was more than a kilometre into the bush when the accident happened. Conte, who spent eight days in intensive care, went back to work at Warkworth Institution in January. “I’ve got about a third of my right lung that may never come back,” he said. His brush with death hasn’t led Conte to reconsider his choice of pastimes. He’s never going to quit hunting, he said, but he’s “much more conscious” now about where he’s stepping.
Andrew Conte, centre, is surrounded by the people who saved his life last fall after a bullet ripped through his chest in a hunting accident. The combined efforts of his eight friends and three nurses – in back, l-r, Charles Bennett, Scott Campbell, Shawn Murphy, Chris York, Will Orr, Paul Battman and Andrew Bennett; in front, Jennifer Anthony, Catherine Jonas and Kim Sachs; absent is Tim Deschamps – earned them a special award by the Municipality of Trent Hills.
The special award was suggested by Councillor Bill Thompson who said the municipality should honor the men and women who saved Conte to “make them feel special because what they did
was downright heroic, and I couldn’t agree more,” Rutter said. After the presentation that drew a standing ovation, Conte thanked them once again for saving his life.

Anne of Green Gables gets ready to soar By Bill Freeman
Entertainment - Asphodel-Norwood – The curtain will soon rise on Norwood District High’s ambitious production of Anne of Green Gables, bringing to life Canada’s iconic sweetheart and the world she inhabited with spunk and gusto. “We’re a little nervous obviously with just two weeks left but things happen every day that make us feel a little better,” says NDHS guidance head Todd Murray, part of the directorial team guiding the production. “The kids are having fun and there are a lot of people involved. There’s just a lot going on setting this up,” Murray said during a vocal rehearsal last week under the supervision of lead director Tracey Irwin and NDHS graduate and Wall of Honour member Debra Richardson-Edge, also a member of the acclaimed singing group The Lemmon Sisters. Murray’s not at all surprised by the talent and diversity of skills the 23-member cast and even larger production team. “That’s why we’re doing it, we knew we had the talent,” he said. The production has also tapped into the high school’s feeder schools with a number of elementary school students involved in the show. “They are doing an awesome job,” Murray said. The show includes two Annes, Taylor Pedersen
and Brittany Stewart, who’ll share lead roles during the production’s short run. “It’s been a team approach when it comes to directing,” says Murray, citing the work of Irwin, Aaron Stinchcombe, Mike Sherwin and RichardsonEdge. “It’s awesome that we’ve got Debra. It’s a huge team approach here.” The production includes six backdrops painted and assembled by students and teachers. Backstage there’s an army of volunteers who have to move Gables and its environs in and out several times during the show. NDHS principal Mary Lou Steinmann, who’s also involved in the show , said it’s been “really rewarding” watching the students blossom in so many different ways. “This is the sort of experience young people will never forget; when they look back on their high school years this is one of the things they’ll talk about,” said Steinman. “There’s so much that happens in a musical, so many skills are developed; they’re learning about singing, about acting and working with each other and the audience.” Steinman said those collaborative skills are something they’ll use offstage as well. Cast and crew are making friends from all parts of the school and that has been fun to watch, she added.
“This group has become really tight-knit and that last performance night they’re going to be feeling ‘I don’t want this to be over.’” She’s also proud of how welcoming everyone has been to the elementary students who are taking part. “When they finally arrive at NDHS they’ll feel a part of the school because of this experience.” Nolan Fluke is one of those Grade 7 students and he already feels like he’s a member of the school community. “Now I pretty much know everybody when I walk through the hallways,” he said. “I’ve enjoyed my experience. When it’s over it’s going to be pretty sad because it’s much more fun to come over here than to walk straight home.” “It’s fun to act, I like being in plays. I’m not much good at singing but it’s still fun.” The play runs April 10 to 12. For ticket information call 705-639-5332.

A patient story brings heartwarming reality to hospital board News – Quinte West – Some stories are heartwarming, some upsetting. Stories told about patients in hospital care can be both. “They help us remain grounded in what we do,” said Steve Blakely, chair of the board for Quinte Health Care. This story is about an 80-year-old woman who lived alone and was admitted to the hospital. She had no relatives nearby. “She was in the ER about 80 visits over two years for various things,” Blakely said. “She had frequent falls, limited mobility.” She spent a year in the hospital. Sometimes she demonstrated anger, and then sunk into a deep depression over life’s changes. Once she had a home, a family, a husband. The hospital contacted her daughter to help. Although the woman was determined to go back to her house, it was determined she was better off in longterm care (LTC). She was discharged from the hospital after a bed became available for her. This is one of the stories about Alternate Level of Care (ALC) provided by the hospital. “There is a general consensus that care of individuals with dementia and delirium is a growing global concern,” chief nursing officer and vice-president of patient services Katherine Stansfield stated in her report to the board. The Alzheimer’s Society estimates that 9,000 people over the age of 65 in the South East Local Health Integration Network (SELHIN) in 2012 had dementia. “In QHC the single most contributing barrier to dis-
charge home is complex behaviour,” Stansfield said. “Alternate Level of Care patients with the longest stay are those with complex behaviours as they most often must wait for a limited number of secure beds in Long Term Care before they are able to be discharged.” Patients in hospital settings frequently experience an increase in complex behaviours due to noise, activity, unfamiliar settings and the effects of their physical condition, such as infections. When the physical conditions are resolved, the behavioural conditions remain or become worse, making return home a challenge. Quinte Health Care is establishing a Behavioural Support Services Transition Unit (BSSTU) with 20 beds for patients with challenging behaviour who are living at home or in hospital or long-term care. These patients must be amenable to a rehabilitation program with an ultimate goal of discharge. This has been supported by SELHIN. The likely location would be in the Sills Wing of Belleville Hospital on the fourth floor, originally designed for complex care. “The architectural design is consistent with the need to provide barrier-free ambulation for patients while providing the ability to protect and monitor wandering,” Stansfield said. The proposed unit has physician support and a plan for funding and providing medical services. A dedicated geriatric psychiatrist and case manager will be provided from Providence Care’s regional program. The cost of renovating the unit and adding furniture and equipment is an estimated $480,174, which is to funded from the 2014/15 operational budget.

Pancakes for the playground By Judy Backus
R0012626957
Lifestyles - Marmora - Members of the local Pentecostal and Free Methodist Churches worked together for the fourth consecutive year to host a very successful pancake breakfast which was enjoyed by more than 125 people. The feast, held at the Community Centre on March 29, included pancakes, sausages, fruit, and juice along with tea or coffee. It was a great start to the weekend and
involved many parishioners as well as the Pastors of both churches, Alvin Peddle and Will Keller. All the food was donated by local businesses and organizations at no cost to the churches and, as in the past, the proceeds from the event will stay in the community. This year’s profit was a handsome $1000 which will be donated towards the purchase of new playground equipment for Memorial Park.
