Trenton – Tears of joy, many hugs and cheering Hawks fans ended the night when the Trenton Golden Hawks defeated the Kingston Voyageurs 3-2, sweeping the OJHL North-East Conference Championship Series 4-0 in Kingston on Wed. April 6.

It was finally the Trenton Golden Hawks’ turn to beat the Kingston Voyageurs in the finals, a task that the G-Hawks have not been able to do the past four times they have faced the Vees in the finals in the last five years.

It’s on to Georgetown this Friday, where the Hawks take on the Georgetown Raiders for the Buckland Trophy.

The G-Hawks may have swept the series but facing the Vees was definitely not a one sided series, G-Hawks coach Jerome Dupont said it was a challenge.

Dupont said the team has shown a great effort from everyone across the line-up, with more defensemen registering points and really demonstrating their depth.

“Let’s hope that continues, we had a good effort right through the line-up tonight and that’s what we needed, otherwise we wouldn’t have pulled off a victory,” he said.

Please see Page 18 for the full playoff schedule.

of manufacturing hubs in the province.

“In addition to convening business leaders from across the province and advancing the province’s business priorities, Advocacy Day at Queen’s Park was an excellent opportunity for chamber leaders and local representatives to educate government officials while trying to obtain policy commitments from senior officials and locally elected representatives,” stated Andrews in a press release.

“It was an opportunity for the Chamber Network to work with government decision makers on issues that matter most to Ontario’s business community,” said Saunders.

The day concluded with a reception at Queen’s Park, giving representatives an opportunity to interact with their local MPPs in a more informal setting and allowed for further conversation regarding issues of concern to Ontario business.

“Advocacy Day at Queen’s Park highlights the power of the Chamber Network,” said Allan O’Dette, president and CEO of the OCC. “We are eager to see how the Chamber Network can work with the provincial government on the economic challenges that were highlighted today during the OCC’s Advocacy Day.” OCC Advocacy Day is one of the many ways the Chamber Network engages in influential advocacy work. Through the strength of the Network’s powerful voice, the Chamber Network has seen tangible results including: the removal of the debt retirement charge on businesses’ electricity bills nine months early, reshaping and delaying the ORPP, the implementation of a provincial Red Tape Reduction Strategy and, most recently, a $500 million investment in broadband infrastructure from the federal government.

These initiatives are a result of the OCC’s and local chambers of commerce ongoing government engagement. The Quinte West and Belleville chamMonth bers, in collaboration with the OCC, will continue to advance the economic priorities of the Bay of Quinte region.

They encourage the provincial government to continue to engage with all members of the business community by working with businesses and local community leaders to address challenges Ontario’s diverse economy is facing today, and in the future.

Last week community leaders from Quinte West and Belleville had the opportunity to meet directly with Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, senior cabinet ministers, bureaucrats, and with MPPs from across the province.

The Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC), along with a delegation of representatives from more than 80 chambers of commerce and boards of trade, participated in the first chamber network Advocacy Day at Queen’s Park.

Belleville Chamber of Commerce CEO Bill Saunders and Suzanne Andrews, manager of the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce, discussed local issues of importance with Deputy Minister Richard McKinnell, Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport and Deputy Minister of Economic Development, Employment and Infrastructure, Giles Gherson.

Specifically, the Belleville chamber discussed the tourism sector in the Quinte region and the need for a tourism strategy for the province, a stronger Ontario Brand and more investment in drawing American Tourists into Ontario.

During an exclusive meeting with Gherson, the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce discussed the challenges facing the manufacturing sector and the need for a manufacturing strategy for the province that includes labour force attraction, the shift into advanced manufacturing, a research and development/innovation tax credit system, exporting to foreign markets, inter-provincial trade and the creation

Trenton – Earth Day is coming up and with that comes the 16th annual Quinte Trash Bash on Sat. April 23.

Everyone is invited to pick up a supplies kit and drop off collected litter at the Trenton Public Works Yard, 30 Pelham St., in Trenton from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sat. April 23. Cleaning supplies can also be picked up at City Hall.

The community is invited to the free pancake breakfast at 8:30 a.m. before picking up their cleaning supplies and there will also be a BBQ starting at 11 a.m.

Quinte West Councillor Don Kun-

tze said he’s volunteered in the Trash Bash for at least five years now.

“It’s important for all of us,” Kuntze said. “There’s a lot of trash out there and now that the snow’s gone and the ice has melted, it’s time to go around and start cleaning the place up and making it look a little nicer.”

Kuntze said people who are unable to bring the garbage they’ve picked up back to the Public Works Yard can call City Hall or Public Works and they will organize a time to pick up the garbage after the event.

Organizers are hoping for a record turnout this year. Over 1,800 volunteers took part in the 2015 Trash Bash, filling eight 30-yard dumpsters full of

Did you hear the one about the air force colonel?

Editorial - Chris Malette By now, many of you have heard of the abominably boneheaded insult that was foisted on a female Parliamentarian by a provincial legislator at what was billed as a “men’s night” cancer fundraising event in the Ottawa Valley a couple weeks back.

Progressive Conservative MPP Jack MacLaren was a ‘guest’ at the event in his riding and felt it funny – it being a men’s night and all – to unravel a crude, poorly told ‘joke’ about MP Karen McCrimmon, a former air force squadron commander of high esteem in these parts and across the air force.

MacLaren, the MPP for Carleton-Mississippi Mills, had been among guests at the head table onstage. He was invited to read off greetings as the riding’s representative at Queen’s Park when he took the microphone.

McCrimmon was among a number of women volunteers serving at the event in Carp.

That was when it turned south, by all accounts. The ham-handed MacLaren fumbled some nonsense to “put (McCrimmon) on the spot” over the impact on farmers of the federal Liberal capital gains tax policy, then made a comment about her body, shifting to stand behind the MP, saying, “I’m not getting behind you.” He then read off a joke about McCrimmon and her husband that referenced their sexual relationship, according to several who attended the fundraiser at the Carp Agricultural Hall.

I read the story, incredulous when The Toronto Star broke the news, having known McCrimmon and reported on her rise to prominence at CFB Trenton. She was the former commander of 429 Transport Squadron, at 8 Wing – the first-ever woman to not only attain the role of navigator in the air force, but to command an air force squadron. This woman, to say the least, is not only a hero to a lot of women in the Armed Forces, but is a pioneer in the RCAF annals.

She retired in 2006 with a rank of lieutenant-colonel, but not before she served in Europe as Senior Staff Officer at the NATO Air Headquarters. She did a tour of duty in Afghanistan in 2004 where she was responsible for NATO airlift co-ordination.

What does a decorated air force veteran – who just happens to be a woman – get for her service to our country and in breaking ground

for women who followed? She gets degraded by a lout like MacLaren, who still holds his seat and suffered not one whiff of sanction from the leader of his provincial party.

At the March 24 dinner, MacLaren clearly planned the stunt, thinking it would bring a round of guffaws.

But, the so-called joke fell flat in the room, according to several people in the audience, and the oaf MacLaren shambled offstage to exactly zero applause and a room full of jaws agape at his bald crudeness.

McCrimmon said she experienced vulgarity and sexism during her time in the military. But she said even so, MacLaren’s comments surprised her.

“I like a good bawdy joke ... but when you bring someone up on stage and use their name and their husband’s name to make a joke ... you’ve got to draw the line there…”

But, it seems this rube’s party leader won’t be banishing MacLaren from caucus or anything other than a simple backroom slap on the wrist.

Progressive Conservative Leader Patrick Brown went through the motions after the news about MacLaren’s gaffe broke.

“We have zero tolerance for misogynistic comments and an apology was made correctly to Karen McCrimmon this morning,” Brown said at Queen’s Park.

“I think it was appropriate that that apology be made directly to Karen,” he added.

But Brown said MacLaren would not be turfed from the Tory caucus for embarrassing his party.

“Mr. MacLaren understood that it was important to apologize directly,” said the Tory leader. “No explanation (would) suffice for me; an apology was needed.”

Pfffft! That was it. ‘Bad boy. Go apologize right now and scurry back here into caucus,’ was the message.

That apology, by the way, came 13 days from the original incident at the cancer dinner.

It took 13 days for this lummox to figure out he said something offensive, foul and entirely out of 1963, basically forced to do the right thing in the end.

Who says we should be glad we have no one like Donald Trump here in Canadian politics?

of service to various organizations as a board member and chair person for agencies such as Community Policing, Adopt a Child, Three Oaks, Community Care, Gleaners Food Bank and more. Her efforts embraced menial tasks to high skilled positions.

The gathering also welcomed back, after an absence of several months, its well known executive director, Brenda Snider, who has undergone heart surgery. She praised the manner in which her staff rose to fill in on her absence, including arranging for the breakfast and awards and rounding up all the volunteers needed for the coming World Uner 18 Women’s Floorball Championships.

Master of ceremonies was Darrell Smith, of Investors Syndicate, chair of the Volunteer and Information Quinte Board and whose company sponsored the local breakfast and also those across Canada. His company also sponsored a major award for a “business person volunteer,” which went to Frank Meiboom, of M and R Autopro, Trenton.

Sponsor for 14 years of an annual youth volunteer award, prominent businessman Maurice Rollins added a second place winner for this year. The first place winner was a multi–talented Janice Burton of Belleville. She is credited with work with learning-challenged children, management initiatives, improved business procedures, artistic donations and many hours of service.

The second winner was Mason Bald, of Quinte West, for work with the Frankford Youth Centre.

Many area dignitaries attended the event, mayors or representatives of Prince Edward, Belleville and Quinte West, MPP Todd Smith and MPs Neil Ellis and Mike Bossio. While they waived any personal remarks to add to the program, each one presented their own recognition to the various winners and congratulated them personally.

Apart from a hearty breakfast, many went home with one of numerous draw prizes.

The Belleville Travelodge Hotel’s ball room was filled to capacity for the annual kickoff breakfast to mark National Volunteer Week and awards presentations.

The distinguished Ruth Burrows Volunteer Award, established in 1990, was presented at the Saturday, April 9 ceremony to Barbara Lea in recognition of 20 years or more of distinguished services to many community causes.

In expressing thanks to the committee for her selection, Lea said: “I am honoured and humbled.” Having adopted Belleville as her community about 20 years ago, she said one of the reasons she loves it here is because of its “amazing volunteers.” “I love being a volunteer” she said. “It is who I am.”

The award was established in memory of the late Ruth Burrows, herself having created an outstanding record of volunteer service.

RMC cadets tour “largest, baddest” wing in Air Force

By Ross Lees Royal Military College cadets were given a top-notch pitch to gravitate to the Royal Canadian Air Force on a visit to 8 Wing/

CFB Trenton Saturday by some of that element’s top practitioners.

On tap to meet, greet and pitch for their services were such RCAF heavyweights as Lt.Gen. Michael Hood, Commander of the RCAF, Brig-Gen. Dave Cochrane, Com-

mander of 2 Canadian Air Division, Brig.-Gen. Sean Friday, Commandant of RMC, and Col. Colin Keiver, Commander of 8 Wing/CFB Trenton.

The cadets were given an impressive display of the “largest, baddest, most kick-ass wing in the Air Force,” according to Col. Keiver in his welcoming speech and pitch. He told the assembled cadets that the base was always busy, that aircraft from Trenton were constantly in the skies over this country and other parts of the world doing what the government of Canada asked of them.

“Wherever

Chat

they need to be, they’re going and they’re doing it,” he noted. “The only way it works here is by all of you, all of your occupations, working together all the time. The pilots cannot get in that plane and do their job without every single occupation that exists in this wing. It does not happen. That’s what we want you to see here as you get a feel for the Air Force life and the way it works at the pointy end – that everyone works really, really hard and they make it work by working together.”

He told the cadets they all had bright, exciting futures ahead of them in the RCAF or the Canadian Armed Forces and they were expected to be leaders.

“Leadership is an action, not a position,” he said. “I expect every single one of my members at 8 Wing to be a leader. It is always the right time to do the right thing. You see something that needs to be done, do it! You need to be leaders at all times.”

That was a theme the cadets were

exposed to repeatedly throughout the day.

Lt.-Gen. Hood told the cadets they would be responsible for creating their own stories within the military and that it could be as exciting or as boring as they wanted to make it.

He told the cadets the RCAF is the most operational element of the CAF and that virtually every one of their fleets was in the process of being exchanged for newer equipment.

“Until you’ve been at an operational base in the Middle East, have seen the number of fighter sorties, tankers, AWACS, all moving, you can’t imagine what you’re going to be part of and all the things that air power brings to things that our country needs to have done,” he said.

While leading in the RCAF, cadets were told they would be expected to surround themselves with good, capable people to help out with their careers and jobs and they were told they would need to be firm, friendly and fair.

8 Wing historic BCATP photo recreated

CFB Trenton - An historical Second World War-era photograph was recreated Monday morning at 8 Wing/Canadian Forces Base Trenton by the Wing’s leadership and Quinte International Air Show 2016 co-chairs in honour of the history and heritage that has existed in the region centering on the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP).

The photograph was taken April 11, 1945 and marked the first of 150 English oak trees that were transported across the Atlantic Ocean on the RMS Queen Mary to be planted on the Wing along Highway 2. The old photograph shows Group Captain Bell-Irving, and the Wing’s leadership, watching his granddaughter Virginia and a gardener as they plant the first oak tree.

The photograph was found during an archive search as 8 Wing continues its plans

to commemorate the BCATP (1939-1945) through a series of events and activities as the Quinte International Air Show 2016 (QIAS 2016) approaches on June 25-26.

“We are so fortunate to have made contact with Group Captain Bell-Irving’s descendants, the grandfather of the little girl in this photograph,” noted 8 Wing Commander Colonel Colin Keiver at the ceremony. “Having his daughter, Trish Wilson, and her family here as we recreate this piece of history truly highlights what is important: history, family and community. By planting this new tree today, we are turning a new page in the history books of 8 Wing; one that is sure to continue our great story that includes the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan.”

The tree planted for the recreation ceremony was supplied by the Highway of Heroes Living Tribute Committee, which has a project to

Sombre Vimy memorial had a personal touch

By Jack Evans The historic but bloody First World War battle of Vimy Ridge was given a personal spin as part of a ceremony to mark Vimy Day at Eastminster Church last Saturday morning.

The presenter was local author and historian Orland French, who centred his talk on his uncle, Oscar French, a 20-year-old machine gunner who died in the early hours of the three-day battle on a chilly, snowy morning of April 9, 1917.

French expanded that his uncle was “one of 37 machine gunners� killed in the battle, mainly by shell fire, which

the machine gun pockets tended to attract from the enemy. But added to that was a total loss of more than 3,600 men killed plus 7,000 wounded. The same battlefield was already “drenched in blood� and littered with bodies and parts thereof from earlier failed attempts to take the strategic ridge by both British and French troops.

While the losses were tragic, they were small compared to many First World War battles. In one, for instance, the British lost 60,000 men in one day.

Vimy is portrayed as “an historic moment in Canadian military history and a pivotal moment in the creation of our

national identity,� French said.

It was the first time all four Canadian divisions serving at the time fought together as a single unit, but under a British commander, Gen. Sir Julian Byng.

He cited the much-maligned Col. Sam Hughes, one-time Minister of Militia for Canada for insisting that Canadian troops fight together as a unit, rather than mix them in with British regiments.

New platoon tactics, special training and an underground tunnel to get the

men to the start position all contributed to the success as well as allied pressure along a wide sector. But the bottom line is: “We were the tough buggers who did what the French and British had failed to do – drive the Huns off that ridge of land. The Germans would come to respect and possibly fear the Canadians. Our troops were tough and achieved the unexpected to win victory.�

French enhanced his talk with slides of a tour of the site and the famous

monument he and his wife, Sylvia, took including a photo of his uncle and of his grave on the ridge.

The indoor presentation followed a ceremony of dedication of about 150 red clay poppies planted in a garden area in front of the church, a project led by businessman Roli Tipper, who also served as master of ceremonies for the event. Tipper expects the number to rise to several thousand as the ceramic poppy project continues in future years.

Students help community with second annual Clothing Exchange needed for free.

“It‘s student-run,” explained Grade 6 teacher Lindsay Langlois. “It started last year as a class project. This year, we extended it to the community.”

Before the event, the students made posters and videos to publicize the exchange. They also worked in shifts during the event, with some help from other classes. That help was needed, as people started coming in half an hour before the scheduled start time of 4 p.m., and the gym remained crowded for much of the evening.

“We‘re studying the community of Stirling as a class, and (looking at) how we can make a difference. This is one way we can make a difference,” Langlois said.

By Terry McNamee Stirling - The motto of the local elementary school is “Stirling Public School Makes a Difference” and that is exactly what the school‘s Grade 6 class has been doing.

On Thursday, April 7, the students held a Clothing Exchange in the school gymnasium.

In the weeks prior to the event, people brought in clothing (mostly children’s) that they no longer needed, or that their children had outgrown.

The students in the class sorted the clothing by size, and the day of the event they laid it all out on tables with signs overhead indicating the sizes. People from the community who needed clothing could then come in and take what they

Six Quinte area athletes named to Canadian floorball team

By Stephen Petrick Belleville – Six Quinte-area athletes are on the roster for the team that will represent Canada at next month’s Under-19 women’s World Floorball Championships being played in Belleville.

The team will be captained by Belleville’s Hannah Wilson, a defencewoman. Alexa Hoskin, of Belleville, is another defencewoman on the team.

Two of the three goaltenders are also local athletes; Madi Brinklow, of Tyendinaga, and Lily Messier, of Foxboro.

The roster also includes forwards Livy Greaves, of Belleville, and Emily Lange, of Trenton. The fact that there’s a strong local presence on the national team is really no surprise, said team Canada general manger Brett Davis.

“It’s a sign of the fact that Belleville is one of the five hubs of floorball in Canada,” he said.

He added that a floorball league that operates here out of Moira Secondary School has a healthy membership, and ensured there were a number of local athletes who were strong candidates for the team.

Coming up with the final roster was a daunting experience for the coaching staff, Davis said, as originally there was a strong list of 60 athletes who came out to try outs; a larger number compared to tryouts for previous national teams.

“The sport has grown so much,” he said.

Other floorball hubs of Canada are well represented. Five players on the team are from Markham and another

five are from Hamilton. Three are from the Port Hope/Cobourg area.

The full 26-women roster was announced Wednesday, April 6, less than a month before the tournament starts.

The opening ceremony for the event takes place on Tuesday, May 3. The tournament games take place from May 4 to May 8 at the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre.

The team will be coached by Todd Crawford, one of the sons of Belleville hockey legend Floyd Crawford, a member of the Canada’s gold-medal winning team from the 1959 world championships.

Crawford brought his father’s gold medal to the event and showed it to the players to underscore “this is what we’re after.”

Crawford said he’s proud of the roster

By Terry McNamee Quinte West—The elegant world of Agent 007 was brought to life as Hospice Quinte held its annual fundraising gala at the National Air Force Museum of Canada in Trenton on Saturday, April 9.

Titled The 007 Gala, the event focused on the world of James Bond, with most of the attendees glammed out in their finest formal wear for the dinner and entertainment.

Money totals won’t be in until the end of the week, but the event was hugely successful, said Maria Menjivar, Community and Public Rela-

tions assistant for Hospice Quinte. She said that about 275 people attended this year.

“Last year, it was about 180, so it was a significant increase,” Menjivar said. “We had 50 silent auction items and 60 donations in all.”

Entertainment included a fashion show by Belleville’s Studio 237, organized by owner Darek

Wierzbicki, an internationally known hair stylist.

All models were local, and included Belleville Mayor Taso Christopher and local Member of Parliament Neil Ellis and MPP Todd Smith.

Menjivar said the community support for the event was amazing, the venue was great and the evening was “really, really fun.”

The atmosphere was elegant on Saturday, April 9, at the National Air Force Museum of Canada during the Hospice Quinte 007 Treena Chicoyne and Dean Lindsay, both of Belleville, were among those checking out the Silent Auction during the Hospice Gala.

BTG play warm, humorous, poignant

By Jack Evans Michel Tremblay’s play, “For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again,” is an unabashed tribute and memorial to his mother, who died from cancer while he was still a young man. While he had two other brothers, the relationship between Tremblay and his mother was special.

It is clear that she had a lot to do with his becoming a creative, successful playwright, introducing him to French literature and discussing it with him almost endlessly and arousing his imagination with creative exaggerations of ordinary life.

The burden in this show is on Alexandra Bell as Nana, the mother, who spends most of her time in the simple kitchen set between the washing machine and the stove as she spins her ramblings ranging from affection to nagging

her son, the narrator, played by Andy Seguire.

Much of her dialogue is downright funny, especially when she talks of her brother-inlaw and his wife. Seguire’s main challenge is to represent a time span in years, from a 10 year old boy to a grown young man.

Not all of her ramblings are imaginative. Some are clever. As she sets up her son for her death, he speculates that there won’t be so much housework for him and the rest of the family to cope with.

“Housework is forever,” she proclaims.

She describes the cancer within her as a ball of pain in the same place she remembers carrying her children, only instead of life, she is carrying her own death.

To ease his mother into her next life, the son, recognizing her love of theatre, stages a theatrical scene featuring her home landscape of Sas-

katchewan. It is truly a tear-evoking ending.

Heather Barker, the director, comments in her notes: “I saw this play for the first time 15 years ago. I thought it one of the most relatable, witty and moving productions I had seen. This play brings to life those simple conversations you share with those you love. It reminds us how funny and tragic everyday moments can be. “ The program also pays special tribute to Phil Bowerman whose efforts to obtain rights for the script involved some five years.

One weakness for local audiences is Tremblay’s Montreal-based references to stage and television stars who are unknown in this part of Canada, but one’s imagination can fill in the blanks.

“For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again” continues through April 23. For tickets or information, call the box office, (613) 967-1442.

The clock has “ticked” down — it’s tick season again

By Terry McNamee Belleville—If you go out in the woods today, you’re in for a big surprise. Actually, a little surprise, but it has a big impact.

Black-legged ticks are now so numerous in Prince Edward and Hastings Counties that Public Health Inspector Aptie Sookoo is warning people to get tested for Lyme disease if they find an engorged tick that has been attached to them for 36 hours.

Speaking at the Wednesday, April 6, meeting of the Hastings Prince Edward Public Health Board, Sookoo said that so many of the ticks that were being collected in Prince Edward County have tested positive for Lyme Disease that there is no point in continuing the tick-testing program there.

He said the number of ticks hasn’t changed much since 2013, but the number of ticks that tested positive for Lyme “has gone up and up.”

Medical Officer of Health Dr. Rich-

ard Schabas said that health inspectors have been recording the infection rate in ticks in Prince Edward County for 15 years, and that the rate has been climbing steadily.

“The increase in the numbers is a very real phenomenon that we can expect to continue,” Schabas said.

He noted that the ticks, which are actually carried by deer mice (whitefooted mice), are found in leaf litter.

But if your dog comes home with ticks, they are unlikely to move off the dogs and onto humans. He said people pick up ticks the same way the dogs do, by walking through an area infested by ticks.

“They (ticks) really can’t survive more than a day in a house because of the (lack of) humidity,” Sookoo said.

“They need almost 100 per cent humidity.”

He added that 20 per cent of collected ticks in Prince Edward County are now testing positive for Lyme disease. And that, said Schabas, is a critical level in

terms of human health. Once that 20 per cent threshold is reached, then it is medically important to automatically treat people for Lyme disease if they report an attached tick.

If you find a tick quickly and remove it, there is no danger of contracting Lyme, because the tick needs about 36 hours in order to transfer the disease. But if the tick remains attached for that long, medical attention should be sought, he said.

So what can peo- Black-legged ticks are now so numerous in Prince Edward and Hastings Counties that Public Health Inspector Aptie Sookoo is ple do? warning people to get tested for Lyme disease if they find an engorged tick that has been attached to themselves for 36 hours.

Home Builders’ cooking up new edition of Quinte Home & Leisure Show

By Stephen Petrick Belleville – There’s no place like the home show – the Quinte Home Builders’ Association’s Home & Leisure Show that is.

Organizers are getting ready for the 45th edition of the popular event, Friday, April 15 to Sunday April 17 at the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre.

The event usually brings in more than 5,000 people to see products and services showcased at booths that cover two full hockey arenas in the sports centre.

The businesses on hand are all connected to the home and lifestyle industry. The event features dozens of trade-related businesses, but it also has realtors, financial advisors and home decorators – really any kind of business of interest to a person buying, selling or hoping to improve a home.

“It’s always a great show,” said Brian Garrard, a member of the show’s committee. “It gives people an idea that spring is here.”

This year’s event will have a few interesting new demonstrations.

Well-known television chef Devan Rajkumar, famous for appearances on Cityline, will be on hand to do cooking demonstrations.

Other keynotes at the event include lifestyles expert Karl Lohnes and Francena Swales, an architectural sales expert from Benjamin & Moore.

Sunday is being billed as a family day, as children’s entertainment will be featured. Kids will have opportunities to build birdhouses and hear music from Andy Forgie.

The event runs from 12 noon to 9 p.m. on Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.

Members of the Quinte Home & Leisure Show committee gathered at Freeman’s Winemaking Shop on April 6 to meet with Chef Devan Rajkumar (third from left). Members of the committee (from left) include Laurence Hartwig, Cindy Dow, Ruth Estwick, Andrew Letersky and Brian Garrard. Photo by Stephen Petrick

General admission is $8 or $7 for seniors. A weekend pass is $10.

Members of the show’s committee gathered at Freeman’s Winemaking Shop in Belleville on Thursday, April 7 to meet with Chef Devan and introduce him to sponsors.

The chef also spent the day meeting with representatives from local businesses that could provide him with food to make a menu with for the show.

Devan said he went to Gilmour’s meat shop and was impressed with its products. He also went to Walts Sugar Shack, where he was incredibly impressed with the maple butter he tasted.

He didn’t want to say exactly what he intends to make at the show, but he said the maple butter may not be used for a dessert item.

“I’m thinking scallops,” he said.

McDougall Insurance named a top brokerage in Canada A Belleville insurance brokerage has just been recognized as one of the leading firms in the country.

McDougall Insurance & Financial has been included in Insurance Business Canada magazine’s Top Brokerages for 2016, which showcases Canada’s highest-performing firms.

To determine the best in the industry, Insurance Business Canada collected both quantitative and qualitative information from the nominees, comparing client counts, analyzing client retention rates and new business development, as well as revenue figures.

To ensure a level playing field and to assess the efficiency of each brokerage business, the total number of brokers writing business in comparison to revenues and number of clients was also taken into account.

“Beyond purely reviewing numbers, we assessed nominees on attributes such as innovation, client relations and strategic leadership.

And to some degree, we looked at the character and culture inherent in a successful brokerage,” said Donald Horne, Associate Editor of Insurance Business Canada.

The whole process narrowed down a pool of

nominees to a select group of 31 brokerages that exemplify success and a well-rounded approach needed to get ahead in today’s market.

A profile of McDougall Insurance on the website for the awards commended the company for having “everything from experts in trucking fleet and tenant policy to dairy farm specialists.

“While catering to traditional clients, McDougall places a heavy emphasis on progressive tech, outfitting brokers with the latest and greatest tools to allow, for instance, clients to receive a quote with a simple scan of a driver’s licence,” the profile added.

It also said, “two words encompass McDougall’s core strategy: big and local. They are married to the idea that variety of product and heft in the marketplace makes for the best premiums and claims service for clients. Yet this global strategy has a local focus – all of the company’s 28 branches are located in Eastern Ontario.”

McDougall Insurance, based in Century Village in downtown Belleville, is headed by former Belleville mayor Ross McDougall and Don Stanton. Its specialties are personal and commercial lines.

Walk a Mile event returns May 7

By Stephen Petrick

Belleville -- A whole lot of red high heels will once again walk through downtown Belleville this spring -- and, as usual, they’ll be taped onto the feet of men.

The Walk a Mile event returns on Saturday, May 7.

The event, put on by Royal LePage, is a fundraiser for Three Oaks Foundation, an organization that helps women and children fleeing abuse.

Every year, the event makes for great photos, videos and lots of laughs, as men walk a roughly milelong route in bright red, high heel shoes.

The event was promoted at Belleville city council on

Monday, April 11, where a hilarious video was shown of several community leaders, walking and dancing in high heel shoes. In several clips, the participants said, “I’m man enough. Are you?”

The event starts and ends in Empire Square, the parking lot next to the Empire Theatre.

The event gets underway at 7 a.m., when a fundraising garage sale begins. At 10 a.m. activities ramp up as participants can begin registering and trying on shoes.

At that time, the Kids Zone and barbecue will open.

At 11 a.m. there will be a high heel limbo contest. The opening ceremonies start at 11:30 a.m. and the walk be-

gins at 12 noon.

With many councillors and audience members still chuckling from the video, Three Oaks Foundation executive director Sandy Watson-Moyles reminded everyone that the funds raised through the event support a serious issue, of violence against women.

This year’s event has a fundraising goal of $30,000, she said, and she encouraged Mayor Taso Christopher -- one of the men shown in the video wearing shoes -- to encourage leaders from neighbouring municipalities to come out and support the event.

Volunteers vital for Quinte Health Care

By Jack Evans For Quinte Health Care officials, there are volunteers, and then there are hospital volunteers. A statement issued by Catherine Walker on behalf of QHC reflects on this in connection with National Volunteer week, April 10-16.

Volunteers for all four hospitals in the complex are not just volunteers, but quite literally “partners in care,” she said, noting volunteer involvement in activities such as oncology, dialysis, breast screening, day surgery, inpatient and emergency departments, plus assisting in spiritual care.

To demonstrate their “significant impact,” she quotes figures from 2015 showing more than 110,000 hours of service by more than 1,200 volunteers, adding: “the human impact simply cannot be measured.”

Apart from those serving in many roles throughout the hospitals, volunteers for the four respective hospital foundations also operate revenue-generating businesses and hugely successful fund raising projects to help pay for necessary new equipment, patient support and staff education. Volunteers also support wayfinding and information for patients and visitors.

Then there is a board “advisory council” whose members help govern and advise the board; spiritual care representatives provide much-needed support for patients and visitors.

Volunteers also contribute to the operation of the BGH Museum, archives and entertainment.

Walker said the statement is meant to be a “message of thanks during Volunteer Week with tremendous gratitude from everyone at Quinte Health Care.”

Board staff, students, parents encouraged to take ‘climate’ survey Those involved with the Hastings & Prince Edward District School Board are being encouraged to complete a school climate survey that will help the board understand what it’s doing well and where it can make improvements.

The online survey opened on April 4 and will remain live until May 5. It’s intended for students in Grade 4 to 12, parents/guardians and school staff.

“At Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board, well-being and public confidence are priorities for us,” the board said in a statement.

“Knowing what people think and how they feel about their/their child’s school can help it to be a better place to learn. We believe it is important for people to have a voice about schools being welcoming, inclusive, safe and accepting learning environments for everyone.”

A video about the survey is available at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/user/HPE-

Schools . Links to the online survey are available from the website home page of each school.

Participation is voluntary and responses are anonymous. It takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes to complete. Paper copies are also available by contacting the school office.

All responses will be compiled then used by schools and the school board to help plan for school improvement. Results will be shared with school communities and also with community organizations that work with HPEDSB to support student achievement and well-being.

This survey is part of a province-wide initiative by the Ministry of Education for school boards to get feedback from students, parents/guardians and school staff every two years in order to provide input on the school climate.

The survey will also be shared through Twitter at @HPEschools.

Trent Hills will take part in National Canadian Film Day for the first time Campbellford – Trent Hills Public Library and Aron Theatre Co-op will celebrate National Canadian Film Day April 20 by showing two great Canadian films at the Aron for free.

“Continuous Journey” will be viewed by 125 Campbellford District High School students. The 2004 documentary by Ali Kazimi tells what happened when a ship carrying 376 South Asian migrants was turned away at Vancouver at the beginning of the First World War. The screening has become a timely one, with the announcement this week that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will offer a full apology in the House of Commons May 18 for the government denying the asylum seekers entry due to immigration laws at the time.

Trent Hills’ first National Canadian Film Day “is one of more than 170 screenings being held across the country in every province and territory,” said library CEO Mary Jo Mahoney in a news release.

“Sharing Canadian film with our students and the public in our communityowned theatre is a way for us all to cel-

ebrate our rich and diverse heritage and what it means to be Canadian.”

The second film, “Still Mine,”which is open to the public, is a celebrated Canadian film about the bond between a man and his wife entering the twilight of their lives. Geneviève Bujold portrays a woman beginning to lose her memory. She and her husband, played

by Academy Award nominee James Cromwell, decide that he will build a more manageable home for their retirement.

However, in a clash of traditional values and modern legislation, he soon finds himself battling local authorities over the fine print in building bylaws.

“Still Mine” starts at 2 p.m. Admission is free. Tickets must be picked up in advance at one of the three library branches -- Campbellford, Hastings and Warkworth -- or at the Aron.

“We are excited to partner with our public libraries to show these great Canadian films,” Aron president Mark White said.

Choral Society gives audience royal treatment

By Jack Evans A regal mixture of classics, folk and contemporary choral music, as well as instrumental classics comprised the program for the Belleville Choral Society’s spring concert at Belleville’s St. Michael’s Church Sunday afternoon.

The program was also enriched by soloists both from the ranks of the choral society and also their guests, the Quinte Youth Chorale, led by Rudolf Heijdens, who performed most of the first half on their own. The group is soon Europe bound for another annual performance tour at several venues..

The program also showed strong international flavour with composers like Chopin, Beethoven, Richard Rogers and more. Much of it was less familiar , but still much enjoyed by a generous audience.

Common hymn tunes like “Awake , My Heart,” and spirituals like “Aint that Good News,” were mixed with serene folk songs like “Early One Morning,” and “Edelweiss” from The Sound of

Music. The choir brought out their fishing rods for one number, “Crawdad Song.”

Both choirs joined forces at the close for a stirring rendition from Beethoven’s “Mount of Olives” cantata, “Hallelujah Chorus,” not to be confused with the famous Handel chorus of the same name from “The Messiah.”

A particularly pleasant interlude was an instrumental piece by Robert Schumann, “Three Romances,” played by flautist Alexanadra Danahy with piano accompaniment.

Having taken over as conductor of the choral society four years ago. Mirijam Spoelstra , continues to meet her goal of an improved performance sound with a “firm but gentle” touch.

The choral society will be looking for potential new members when it commences rehearsals on Monday evenings in September.

Proceeds from the concert will help support the choir’s outreach, including $1,000 scholarships for youth going into post-secondary music studies and $100 prizes for choirs in local music festivals.

Fishing rods are visible as the Belleville Choral Society sings a comic folk song called the “Crawdad Song” directed by Mirijam Spoelsltra. Photo by Jack Evans

But all we can do for both of you Is go and tend your grave And leave behind tokens of love To the best God ever made We would like to think

In Memory

When life is done

You’ll both be standing at the door Up there to welcome us

IN MEMORIAM

CHRISTOPHER ROBERTS

July 2, 1974 - April 15, 2004

Please don’t ask me if I’m over it yet.

I‘ll never be over it.

Please don’t tell me he’s in a better place, He isn’t here with me.

Please don’t say at least he isn’t suffering.

I haven’t come to terms with why he had to suffer at all.

Please don’t tell me you know how I feel, You don’t know how I feel Please don’t ask me if I feel better, Bereavement isn’t a condition that clears up.

Please don’t tell me at least you had him for so many years, What year would you choose for your brother to die?

Please don’t tell me that God never gives more than one can bear.

Please just say sorry.

Please just say that you remember my brother, If you do.

Please mention my brother’s name, Please… just let me cry.

Always remembered Love Missy, Sherri and Kim Not a day goes by that we don’t think of you, and wish so badly you were back here with us.

We Love you Chris.

In Loving memory of a wife, mother, sister and friend whom lost her battle with cancer April 16, 2012. Her strength carries on in the people that loved her, still upholding her motto “Falling down is part of Life, Getting up is Living” Forever Loved, missed and always in our Hearts and Thoughts.

Love Mike, Mackenzie, Clayton and Family.

CHRISTOPHER ROBERTS

July 2, 1974 - April 15, 2004 If we could bring you back again, For one more hour or day, We’d express all our unspoken love; We’d have countless things to say.

If we could bring you back again, We’d say we treasured you, And that your presence in our lives Meant more than we ever knew.

If we could bring you back again, To tell you what we should, You’d know how much we miss you now, And if we could, we would.

Where is tea grown commercially in Europe?

By John M. Smith

Portugal’s Sao Miguel Island is apparently the only place in Europe where tea is commercially grown. It’s the largest of the nine volcanic islands west of Portugal’s mainland

that make up what’s known as the Azores, an area that some researchers have claimed to have once been part of the Lost Continent of Atlantis. Be that as it may, its fertile volcanic soil, located far away from any industrial pollution, has been a great place to grow

The Cha Gorreana Tea Plantation is located on Portugal’s Sao Miguel Island.

pesticide and herbicide-free tea for well over a hundred years, and its Gorreana Tea Plantation has been family owned and operated there since 1883.

On my visit to the Azores, I visited Cha Gorreana, the tea plantation, and I discovered that much of the old equipment is still being used in the 19th century processing plant. The machinery may be ancient by our standards, but it still works, so the tradition continues. It’s rather interesting to simply wander about and see the equipment in action. There’s also a short and very informative film (about 5 minutes in length) that’s in English and describes the tea-making process, including the picking and harvesting, so I found that to be a very worthwhile introduction. After watching the process, via the film and the antique machinery in action, I next found myself in its gift shop and tea tasting area. I was able to taste some of the teas processed right there, including its orange pekoe tea, green tea, and black tea, and I, of course, could then decide to purchase some of the product to bring home with me.

I also discovered ice cream for sale there, made with the fresh fruits of the Azores, so this was yet another tasty highlight.

Directly outside of this factory were several acres of well manicured tea bushes, in

neat rows, and I found it very worthwhile to take a walk among these. In fact, I followed a well marked footpath that led me through the tea plantation, past a grouping of agricultural buildings, some cattle, pastureland, and a wooded area (primarily of Japanese red cedar). I then ascended a hydrangea-covered hill, where I was offered some exquisite views of the coastline and ocean. I eventually returned, via the circular route, to the factory itself. However, if you decide to do this entire trail, expect it to take you a couple of hours, for it’s about 6 km. in length.

It’s best to visit Cha Gorreana between April and September, when the tea is being picked and processed, for the factory is then in ‘full swing’. I learned that both the black and green teas are made from the same tea leaf; however, it’s how the tea is processed that creates the difference, for the green tea does not pass through oxidation, and the black tea does.

It’s believed that tea was first discovered in China about 5,000 years ago. Later on, as European explorers began to check out the Orient in more depth, information about this ‘magical drink’, tea, began to filter back to Europe, and the first European to write firsthand about tea was thought to be the Portuguese Jesuit Father Jasper de Cruz. However, it wasn’t until sea trade routes to the Far East became well established that tea gained a real presence in Europe. It’s believed that when Catherine Braganza of Portugal married King Charles II in 1662, she first brought tea to the royal court of England. Therefore, it was a Portuguese Queen who started the tea tradition in England!

However, it was very expensive in those early days, making it available only to the very rich. It was much later that it was learned that tea could be successfully grown This antique dryer is still in use at Portugal’s Cha Gorreana Tea Plantation. and, indeed, flourish on Sao Miguel in the Azores, so two tea experts then came from Macau to introduce the art of commercial tea cultivation there. Shortly after that, Cha Gorreana opened on Sao Miguel, COACH & TOURS and the rest, as they say, is history.

I did my visit to this tea plantation and factory as part of my daylong guided Furnas Tour with UTC Azores Tours (www.utcazorestours.

Big spruce gone, now what?

By Dan Clost A few months ago, after a bit of plaster fell from the ceiling, a bit of paint flaked off the door trim, and a section of wall paper liberated itself from the wall, my wife and I thought it might be time to downsize. To that end, we took a leisurely drive to check out bungalows. Why bungalows? My little writer’s garret is tucked away on the third floor, more than 30 stairs. My knees don’t like stairs so much anymore.

It was surprising how many bungalows need serious landscape rejuvenation.

We’ve all seen it, Gentle Reader, a trim bungalow surrounded by its original foundation plantings. A few pfitzer junipers, maybe a yew, a purple flowering lilac balanced by a honeysuckle with all being anchored a few Colorado Blue or even Red spruces. The bungalow was built in the 50’s (bit of clue given with the plant list) and those shrubs and trees were planted at the same time.

Now the house is dwarfed by the massive trees towering over them, the front yard is completely shaded, and the shingles are thick with moss.

This part is any easy fix- cut down the trees. You will need to hire someone; but, I can’t stress this enough, require them to

show proof of insurance and WSIB coverage.

But now you have a straggly lawn and two massive bare spots needing a bit of attention. Over the years, these huge trees have been creating a soil environment to their liking which includes a soil pH in the acid range.

By the way, here’s a quick and easy way to check whether or not you have acidic or alkaline soil. In a handful of moist soil, sprinkle some baking soda and mix it in. if it makes a froth- you have acidic soil. If nothing happens, pour a bit of vinegar on the other sample; if it starts fizzing, you have alkaline. If nothing much happens, then you have a neutral soil. (Thanks to Leineriza Villanueva for this easy tip.)

You have two choices. You could head out to all the sugar shacks and purchase their wood ashes. Be warned, they’ll see you coming so you’ll have to be a tough negotiator. Or you could simply select new plants that are already suited for an acidic environment.

Here is some good news- we have a much larger selection of plants from which to choose than the original landscapers of our bungalow. In fact, if you wanted to recreate the original planting but not be faced with the same problem down the road, there are many dwarf varieties of, well, just about any plant on the market.

You might try a Baby Blue® Spruce which tops out at 30’ with a 15’ width (10m x

4,5m) or drop one size with its grafted cousin, Baby Blue Eyes Spruce which, usually, takes up about ¾ the space. The differences are determined by the vigour of the root stock, usually Norway spruce.

With these smaller trees, there will be a bit of empty space to get filled. Flowering dogwood, especially the Cornus kousa collection with its Milky Way, Constellation and Stellar Pink varieties will add some colour and a bit of height. The following shrubs come to mind: rhododendron, chokeberry, daphne, mountain laurel, nannyberry, and blueberry (absolutely, GR, you can keep it

neat and trim, munch on a bit of fruit and enjoy spectacular fall colour.)

Really, while the pH will be in the moderately acidic range, it shouldn’t be enough to exclude ornamental grasses, flower bulbs, and turf grass. It just makes sense to work with what you have- it’s so much less work.

Not the way they smoke cheese at Maple Dale

By Stephen Petrick Thurlow – Smoked cheddar is one of the popular varieties of cheese at a Thurlow cheese factory, but Monday’s fire there was not in the process.

Firefighters are investigating a blaze that caused significant damage to the Maple Dale Cheese factory early on the morning of Monday, April 11.

Belleville fire was called to the popular business located on Highway 37, south of Zion Road, at about 7:30 a.m.

The fire started in a utility room, but was put out quickly, said Lt. Scott Reid, of Belleville fire.

Tankers from Tyendinaga Township and the Mo-

hawk fire department came to support the job.

“We had a quick knock-down on it,” Reid said, standing in the pouring rain at about 10 a.m. that morning as firefighters were packing up to leave the scene. “We were able to extinguish the flames pretty quickly.”

No one was injured in the blaze and by mid morning employees were back inside the building in the front commercial area.

Firefighters climbed the roof on a back portion of the building, near the production area, to put out the fire.

They also ventilated the roof area and opened doors throughout the factory to let smoke out.

Reid said it appeared as though the damage was limited to the roof and the utility room.
