Golden Hawks are Buckland Cup champions, off to Dudley-Hewitt Cup

By Erin Stewart Trenton – The Trenton Golden Hawks made franchise history last Friday night when they beat the Georgetown Raiders 2-1, clinching the championship series 4-1, to become Ontario Junior Hockey League champions and take home the Frank L. Buckland Trophy.

More than 1,200 G-Hawks fans sold out the Duncan Memorial Community Gardens to watch their team make Golden Hawks history as the first ever team under the Golden Hawks banner to win the OJHL championship series, take home the Buckland Cup and now move on to the Dudley-Hewitt Cup, where their first opponent will be the Soo Thunderbirds.

G-Hawks super fan Wayne Baril was given the chance to raise the Buckland Trophy by the team after the big win. He cried tears of joy and said he is so proud of his favourite team.

“I feel on cloud nine right now… this team is in my sleep. I’m so proud of everybody in this organization, I’m really proud, this team is number one,” Baril said, breaking into tears.

Trenton Golden Hawks’ star goaltender Daniel Urbani was named the 2015-2016 Playoff MVP and presented with the Brent Ladds Trophy by OJHL Commissioner Marty Savoy.

G-Hawks relied on the fantastic performance of Urbani in net to grab the 2-1 win against the Georgetown Raiders.

The Raiders started off strong, scoring the first goal of the night. Josh Dickinson scored the team’s only goal six minutes into the first period, assisted by Daniel Hardie.

Ben Scheel scored the G-Hawks’ game-winning goal two minutes into the third, assisted by Nick Boddy.

Urbani stopped 26 shots out of the 27 he faced and Andrew Masters made 25 saves on 27 shots for the Raiders.

“I feel ecstatic, we had a great year and it’s a great way to cap off the great year,” said G-Hawks coach Jerome Dupont. “We’ve worked really hard and we’ve been consistent with that and I

think that’s one of the reasons we’re successful.”

Dupont said the entire G-Hawks team is a great group of young men.

“I love them, they’re great,” he said. “There’s great chemistry and that chemistry goes a long way.”

John McDonald, director of hockey operations and recipient of the OJHL’s Executive of the Year Award, said it’s been a long road and he just couldn’t get over the moment of winning the Buckland Cup.

“We just played one of the greatest hockey clubs this league has produced in a lot of years and we beat them, I just can’t believe it,” McDonald said.

McDonald said Raiders’ goaltender Masters only allowed six goals in five games; something he said just goes to show how fantastic Urbani is.

“Getting him was our prize and then the supporting cast around him has just been brilliant,” McDonald said. “They’re just a real together group, that’s what makes them special, they’re a team.”

Urbani said the feeling was surreal in the moments following his MVP award and hoisting the Buckland Cup in front of the G-Hawks fans.

“It feels really good, it was a team effort, the guys in front of me at the end there were blocking shots in front of me and it was unbelievable,” said Urbani. “We knew we could go all the way and that’s what we did.”

The G-Hawks will now move on to the Dudley-Hewitt Cup, Central Canadian Junior “A” Championship, from May 3 to May 7, in Kirkland Lake.

The round robin tournament will include the G-Hawks as the OJHL champions, the Kirkland Lake Gold Minors as the selected host team, the Soo Thunderbirds as the champions of the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League and the Fort Frances Lakers, the champions of the Superior International Junior Hockey League.

The champion of the Dudley will move on as the central seed to play at the Royal Bank Cup, the Canadian Junior “A” Championship, which gets under way May 14 in Lloydminster.

Trenton – Archer’s Poultry Farm Ltd. has announced the move of its chick hatchery from Brighton to be constructed in Quinte West’s North Murray Industrial Park.

“We needed a larger facility and the facility is quite demanding on power consumption and utilities, so the industrial park fits in perfect with that,” said Stuart Archer, president of Archer’s Poultry Farm and the third generation working in the family business.

Archer said construction for the new facility will begin in early summer and the new building will be 30,000 sq. ft., about 30 per cent larger than their current facility. He hopes to have the new facility built within one year.

The new and larger facility is expected to increase the business capacity be about 40 per cent Archer said.

“We don’t expect a large growth immediately, but we’re building for capacity,” Archer said. “If we can increase our capacity then we will have to hire more people.”

In the hatchery, fertilized eggs are brought into the facility and 21 days later chicks are hatched, sorted, vaccinated and sold to commercial farms across Ontario.

Archer’s feed mill is staying in Brighton along with the barns with hatching supplies and the business’ main office, but Archer said he feels very confident and good about his decision to relocate the hatchery in Quinte West.

Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison said he is really happy to have part of Archer’s business move into town.

“It’ll be just a beautiful, clean operation,” Harrison said. “I’m really pleased. They’re a great business, they’ll be a real asset to us.”

Seasons hosts Friends and Food event for Hospice Quinte

By Erin Stewart Trenton – Seasons Dufferin Centre hosted its second annual Friends and Food event to raise awareness and donations for Hospice Quinte on Monday afternoon, April 24.

“I just enjoyed this so much and I say we should do it a bit more often,” said Seasons resident Mary Stebbins. “It was very successful, two rooms full of people and it was very informative.”

Around 70 residents and guests gathered to enjoy an afternoon tea party, learn about Hospice Quinte and take part in a 50/50 draw, raising $120 for Hospice Quinte.

“We’ve had more people than we expected, we’ve had a lot of guests in which is really wonderful,” said Kate Chisholm, lifestyle services manager at Seasons Dufferin Centre. “It’s a great way to raise awareness and the residents love tea parties, it’s a really great event for us.”

Helen Dowdall, executive director of Hospice Quinte, spoke to guests about all of the support programs Hospice Quinte has to offer. Dowdall informed guests about their programs for patients but also bereavement groups, grief groups and their

children’s programs.

She said she was amazed at this year’s turnout for the event.

“I really appreciate the opportunity to come and talk about the services,” Dowdall said. “They had wonderful

questions for me, it’s always nice to have an engaged audience.”

The donations Hospice Quinte receives are put towards enhancing services.

Parrott was ‘beaking off’ to owner: OPP

Brighton -- Northumberland OPP had to intervene in a recent domestic dispute between a man and his parrot.

According to OPP, officers were called to a Brighton home on Tuesday, April 19 after receiving complaints of a disturbance that involved yelling and threats coming from the home.

Police said they had received reports from witnesses who said they heard a man shout “I hope you die!” from inside the home.

Officers found a lone man at the home yelling at his pet parrot. The man told police the parrot was ‘beaking off at him.’

Police say alcohol was involved. No charges were laid.

Food safety inspection neverending: health unit

By Terry McNamee Belleville — Food safety in public eateries and other facilities was the topic presented by Health Protection Program Manager Roberto Almeida at the Wednesday, April 6, meeting of the Hastings Prince Edward Public Health Board.

Almeida said facilities that serve food to the public are sorted into categories of High, Moderate and Low Risk. All premises are reassessed annually and are inspected at least three times per year by public health inspectors.

He said high-risk facilities are places such as hospitals, homes for the aged and retirement homes.

“We have 143 high-risk premises in our jurisdiction, and we inspected 143 of them (in 2015),” he said. Overall, there were 572 inspections of these facilities.

Of those labelled as moderate risk, all were inspected except one which opened late in the year. Those 289 facilities were inspected a total of 579 times.

He said that low-risk operations are those that sell pre-packaged food. In this category, there were 723 low risk and pre-operational inspections, 42 of which were based on complaints.

Almeida told the Board that, out of all these inspections, 12 premises were charged with contravening food regulations and nine resulted in convictions.

He noted that inspectors also teach food handler training courses monthly

in Belleville.

“We trained 543 food handlers (last year),” he said. “We had a 97.61 pass rate.”

Vice-Chair and Tweed Mayor JoAnne Albert asked how the regulations apply to other types of activities where food is served, such as community dinners.

Almeida said his department sets up private courses for groups such as service clubs and schools that hold these events, but they are held to a different standard than places such as restaurants.

“There’s also an element of buyer beware,” he said, when people shop at places like farmers’ markets or go to community events that serve food.

Almeida told the Board that the current food safety regulations, which date to 1990, are being updated and will be in force by 2017. There also will be a menu labelling act beginning that year, but it will mostly affect large restaurants and chains as opposed to “mom and pop” establishments.

Members of the Hastings Prince Edward Public Health Board taking part in the Wednesday, April 6, meeting in Belleville included, from right, Board Chairman Terry McGuigan, Medical Officer of Health Dr. Richard Schabas and provincial appointee Douglas Lafreniere.

OPINION

Burundi: The next genocide?

The good news is that the killing in Burundi has not yet grown into a civil war like the one that killed 300,000 people in 1993-2005, let alone a genocide like the one that killed 800,000 people in neighbouring Rwanda in 1994. The bad news is that Burundi is getthere.

Gwynne Dyer ting It’s hard to speak well of Sepp Blatter, the disgraced former head of FIFA, the international football federation. But Africa would owe him a large debt of gratitude if he had persuaded Burundi’s President Pierre Nkurunziza not to seek a third term, and instead to accept a job as FIFA’s “ambassador for football” to the world.

When the story came out recently in Blatter’s autobiography, the Swiss foreign ministry (which asked Blatter to make the offer) explained that, “The intention was to contribute to a peaceful solution in order to prevent the current crisis in Burundi.”

It might even have worked. Nkurunziza is a keen footballer, and he certainly has put aside enough money to retire on. But he chose to stay on and run for a third term, and started Burundi on the road back down to Hell.

African presidents suffer from two besetting sins. One is the belief that they are irreplaceable: almost two-thirds of African countries had twoterm presidential limits in their constitutions by 2000, but since then 10 of them have seen attempts by their presidents to remove the limit.

The most recent was Rwanda, where President Paul Kagame’s last permitted term will now end in 2034.

But Pierre Nkurunziza’s excuse was particularly pathetic. He became president at the end of the civil war in 2005, when the peace was precarious. There was no time for a presidential election, so he was elected to the presidency by a parliamentary vote.

On the basis of that, Nkurunziza began claiming last year that his first term shouldn’t count towards his constitutional two-term limit because he was chosen by parliament and not by the people. Even Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe (seven terms and counting) saw the humour in that. “They say the first term was not a real term,” he said at an African Union summit last June, “but you were there for five years!”

Burundi’s Constitutional Court accepted Nkuruniza’s claim, however, as it would have been hazardous to the members’ health to do other-

wise. (One of the judges then fled the country, saying that they had all been bullied and threatened into giving that judgement.) The opposition parties all boycotted the election last July, so Nkurunziza “won” – and by then the level of violence was rising rapidly.

The killing started after a failed military coup that tried to stop the sham election, and the reported death toll is now around 400. The known victims are mostly political activists and ordinary citizens murdered by the police in Bujumbura, the capital, but the real total of the killings must be far higher. Rural killings are rarely reported, but a quarter-million people have fled the country in the past year and now live in refugee camps in neighbouring countries.

The one consolation in this dreadful situation, until recently, was that it wasn’t a tribal confrontation. In both Rwanda’s genocide and Burundi’s civil war the majority Hutus (85 per cent of the population) were on one side and formerly dominant Tutsi minority on the other. Since the civil war, however, Burundi’s army has been evenly divided between the two ethnic groups, and the opposition groups have also included both Hutus and Tutsis.

The other besetting sin of African presidents, unfortunately, is that if they come from the biggest tribe (as they most often do), when they get into deep political trouble their default solution is to fall back on tribal loyalties. That is what Nkurunziza is doing now. The army is being purged of Tutsis, and the very same language used by the Hutus in the run-up to the Rwanda genocide is now being used by Nkurunziza’s Hutu backers in Burundi.

Révérien Ndikuriyo, the president of the Burundian senate, has been referring to the regime’s opponents as “cockroaches” (the same word used for Tutsis by the Hutu extremists in Rwanda). He has even called on the government’s supporters to “start work” (“kora”), which was the code-word used in Rwanda for the launch of the 1994 genocide.

Nkurunziza is trying to turn a political confrontation he might lose into an ethnic conflict that he could win, but the cost would be another genocide. The future of an entire country of 10 million people is being put at risk by his personal ambition.

So far the opposition parties (which are, of course, mostly Hutu) are resisting Nkurunziza’s attempts to scapegoat the Tutsis, but in the world’s poorest country, many ordinary Hutus will be tempted to go along with the regime’s lies in order to steal their Tutsi neighbours’ land. We may be weeks away from Africa’s next genocide.

Editorial - Chris Malette Let’s face it, in Canada we have not four but two seasons – winter and construction season.

In this region, few communities are immune to the effects of that old saw in the coming weeks of mild weather.

Throughout the district, roads will be torn up, highways will be detoured, and, worse, main street and downtown businesses in various locations will be impacted by road closures and jackhammers right outside their doors.

In Belleville, in the area of Dundas Street, east of the Prince Edward County link road and the CPR overpass, traffic has been reduced to two painfully slow lanes at peak traffic.

The project is known as the Bay Bridge Road/CPR Overhead Replacement & Dundas Street West Rehabilitation. Its budget is listed at $17.4 million and is a mammoth undertaking, one that was years in the planning.

When complete, it should make travelling to and from The County much smoother.

The new bridge being constructed to connect with Dundas Street will have five lanes, an improvement over the current – and crumbling – four-lane bridge.

Then there’s the downtown political football phase of Build Belleville. Phase 2 of the City Centre Revitalization Project is expected to take place from April 25 to Sept. 15, in the middle section of Front Street, between Victoria Avenue and Bridge Street West.

This phase affects more businesses than Phase 1 work, which took place along the north part of Front Street last summer.

The project involves tearing up the street to install new underground infrastructure that’s more than 100 years old.

But the plan has business owners nervous about how it will impact foot traffic and ultimately sales in the typically busy summer months.

The city sided with builder Len Corcoran Excavating to bump up the schedule, but in the process, officials with the Build Belleville project neglected to keep business owners in the loop.

The blowback was predictable and wholly justified.

Kathryn Brown, one owner who said she’s so angry at the city she may move operations

to Prince Edward County, said she purchased inventory months ago expecting to have a successful spring season.

If construction work blocks her front doors in the prime months of May, June and July she’s not sure that will happen.

“We’ve been asked to pivot in a short period of time,” she said. “A lot of us have been jeopardized.”

In the village of Hastings, the closure of the Trent Severn Waterway swing bridge at Lock 18 meant the town was literally severed in half. With the bridge closed, the only direct route connecting the north and south sides of the village across Lock 18 is via a special pedestrian crossing.

But, a reprieve was announced last week.

The Lock 18 Hastings swing bridge will reopen to traffic nearly a full month ahead of schedule, Parks Canada has revealed.

It’s the kind of spring fever news area residents and travellers have been waiting for since the bridge was shut down Jan. 4 so crews could install a brand new bridge.

Pedestrians will still have to use the special walkway to walk between the north and south sides of the river but vehicles will no longer have to take the large detour around Hastings to move north and south of Hastings along County Road 45.

In Picton, the main commercial artery through the popular tourist town is going to be a jumble of trenches, gravel and torn up sidewalks for the summer. At the ceremonial start to the construction recently, Picton’s Business Improvement Association named the $5.5 million project the ‘Main Street Makeover’ in an effort to gussy up the grim image of construction and keep shoppers and tourists in town.

No matter where you turn, this summer, you’re likely to see a flag person standing in a roadway waving you down to stop or drive slowly through a construction zone.

Take it with a big, big grain of salt and breathe deeply. The alternative to fixing these roads and bridges is far worse than the short term pain of the road closures.

Anyone who’s been on a vacation to Mexico, the islands or many pockets of Europe will understand it could be much, much worse if you ignore the ravages of time and Mother Nature on infrastructure work.

nects them to this issue.

Primeau shared the story of losing her daughter, Charlie, upon birth last November, after 41 weeks of pregnancy. It was an emotional experience for Matteucci too. She was Primeau’s doula and she had recently experienced her own miscarriage.

After the experience, Primeau said she felt “very alone. I had never known anyone who had a stillborn. It’s something people don’t talk about,” she said.

While the hours that follow the loss of a baby are tragic enough for a mother, the next few days are also tough both emotionally and physically.

Primeau said she was basically just “sent home” from the hospital. Because the baby died on a weekend, no social worker was available to comfort her or answer her questions.

And in the days that followed, she was also confused about what she needed to do to recuperate.

Her breast milk was starting to develop – which was a painful reminder of what had just happened – and she didn’t know what to do.

Primeau and Matteuccii said the event is intended to raise funds for small items that can support families who’ve lost a baby.

That could be something as simple as USB sticks to download images of their baby from the hospi-

tal’s camera or books and literature that families can read to answer their questions and begin the healing process. It could even be teddy bears.

They say they hope to build kits that are already prepared and ready to hand to parents who’ve suddenly experienced loss.

With still a few weeks to go until the event, Primeau and Matteucci are thrilled with the support they’ve received.

By April 8, participants who had registered already had gathered more than $25,000 in pledges. Their new goal is to raise $35,000 – well over the $5,000 they thought they might be able to raise when they first drew up the idea.

The success of the walk, they believe, speaks to the need for families to speak out about the issue.

Matteucci said all kinds of women have approached her to express interest in participating in the event; and some have shared their own stories about losing a baby years ago.

Primeau said it can be comforting to talk about the experience with others who’ve gone through the same thing. Doing this re-assures to everyone that what happened is no fault of their own.

“This does happen to people and they get through it,” Primeau said. “There’s nothing wrong with me.

It’s just bad luck.”

Successful 16th annual Quinte Trash Bash Trenton - The Bay of Quinte area celebrated Earth Day by cleaning up during the 16th annual Trash Bash on Sat. April 23.

Councillor David McCue picked up trash on Canal Road beside the Murray Canal in Carrying Place. McCue said the only way to describe the area was “disgusting” with the amount of garbage that has been dumped there.

“From baby diapers, to car parts, to household appliances, to couches, chairs, beds, you name it, just discarded and some of the stuff took a great deal of effort to haul off into the woods and dump it where it was,” he said.

McCue, along other with Quinte West firefighters and a few helpers, filled seven trailers with garbage to dispose of at the public works yard in Trenton.

He said he’s thrilled to bits at what they were able to accomplish and he’s hoping to keep the area clean.

Senior Captain Cordell Deck was on hand to help clear garbage with McCue and he said he was greatly offended and disgusted by what he saw.

“We need to put a stop to it,” Deck said. “We need to demand that council

look after these roads and that they get frequent patrols out there and that fines start happening, these people need to stop doing what they’re doing and the only way to do that is enforce the law.”

Laurie Caouette, special events coordinator city of Quinte West, was handing out cleaning equipment at the public works yard in Trenton on Saturday and she said the Trash Bash was going very well.

“We’ve had over 300 people come out to volunteer, so we’re very happy with the results,” she said. “Lots of trash being returned back to the yard today.”

Caouette said the pancake breakfast was a hit and everyone was invited back for hotdogs in the afternoon.

“That’s just our way to show our appreciation for what they’re doing,” she said. “We’re all working together to keep our communities clean.”

Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison had a few helpers and drove throughout Quinte West filling his 22 ft. trailer and made a number of trips back to the yard.

“I’m really pleased and impressed with the number of volunteers taking part and doing their share,” Harrison Councillor David McCue and a dozen volunteers filled seven trailers with trash that had been dumped on Canal Road in Carrying Place and disposed of it said. “It’s great because there’s a lot of at the public works yard in Trenton during the Quinte Trash Bash on Sat. April 23. garbage.”

Brighton – A record amount will be given out in grants when the Brighton Health Services Centre officially launches the Brian Todd Memorial Community Fund at its annual general meeting May 12.

Twelve organizations will receive in excess of $70,000 in total – the most ever handed out by the centre since the board began issuing grants in 2009 while Todd was its founding chair.

Todd, who died in November 2011, “exemplified what community service is all about,� and the Community Health Grant Program is being renamed in his honour to “carry on his legacy [by] inspiring as many community organizations as we can to continue good works in their own special way,� chair Gerald Draaistra said in letter of invitation the board has sent out. “It will be a way for the community to remember a man who was passionate about his community,� health services centre treasurer Bruce Davis said.

Todd was a “go-to guy� who was instrumental in establishing the centre and preparing the way for the first family health team in Ontario to be located in Brighton, in 2006.

BHSC board to officially launch fund in founding chair’s name at AGM “The economic impact (of the centre) has been huge,� Davis said, housing a YMCA fitness facility, an Ontario Early Years centre, a satellite Community Care Access Centre, and a social services hub for Northumberland County, in addition to the family health team. “People are attracted to the community� because of those services provided locally, and the facility “can be a really good physician recruitment tool,� Davis said.

A “pre-launch� of the fund’s name change took place last October when the board donated $10,000 to East Northumberland Secondary School, where Todd had once served as principal, to ensure it surpassed the $1 million mark in donations to the Terry Fox Foundation.

The annual general meeting is being held at the King Edward Community Centre to accommodate a larger turnout than usual by the public for the annual meeting as “the idea is to bring out as many people as we can to celebrate Brian,� Davis said.

The health services centre began distributing grants from annual “operational surpluses� after 2008 when the board paid off the last of the $2.4 million it

The board hopes to expand the fund so that it can give out more money each year to assist community projects, much as the Campbellford-Seymour Community Foundation does, Davis said. “I’m just amazed at how much it’s done for the community.�

Belleville Quinte West Community Health Centre announces new E.D. An important community health agency has a new woman at the helm.

Lori Cooper, president of the board of directors of the Belleville Quinte West Community Health Centre, has announced the appointment of new Executive Director Sheila Braidek.

“We’re excited to have Ms. Braidek join us,” Cooper said. “As the executive director of two CHCs in the past 15 years, Ms. Braidek brings significant leadership experience in the community health centre model and is passionate about our holistic and client-centred approach to providing primary health care services as well as wellness and illness prevention programs to people in our communities.”

Braidek’s accomplishments include creating strong organizational systems that support interdisciplinary and inter team collaboration, development of the Pathways to Education program, supporting the neighbourhood redevelopment process in Regent Park, acting as the lead for Health Link and working with vulnerable populations to promote health

equity for those individuals in our communities who need it the most.

Braidek will replace retiring executive director Marsha Stephen, a woman whose endless energy and commitment to the start-up of the organization earned praise from the board. Cooper said Stephen built a strong foundation that will ensure the CHC continues to do the amazing work it does today.

The Belleville and Quinte West Community Health Centre is a not-for-profit health care organization that offers primary health care services, health and wellness programs and community wellness initiatives. BQWCHC’s Interprofessional team of 55 health care providers have served over 10,000 clients since opening its doors in January 2010. The centre’s Belleville facility is located at 161 Bridge St. W. and the Quinte West location is at 70 Murphy St. The Belleville and Quinte West CHC is one of a growing number of Community Health Centres in Ontario that “help to break down the barriers to good health, to keep people well and communities healthy.”

Girls Exploring Trades opens possibilities to high school students

By Ross Lees Quinte West – About 100 highschool age tech-savvy young women got a close-up and personal look at their options at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Trenton.

The event, Girls Exploring Trades, was sponsored by the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP) and was a combined effort of that organization, local school boards and 8 Wing/CFB Trenton. Exposed throughout the day to such technical trades as auto mechanics, woodworking, construction, welding, and non-destructive testing, the young ladies from most area high schools also got to look at non-traditional careers featured in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF).

Keynote speaker for the event was Jaimie MacMillan who, having established herself in the male bastion of ironworkers, caught the full attention of the young, female students when she said during her introductory speech that she had a rule for her bosses when she started working her union job: “Don’t treat me like a girl, treat me like an ironworker.”

An enthusiastic, spontaneous speaker, Ms. MacMillan told the young women she believes there will be a vibrant workforce vacuum for young women in the near future and that they should work hard toward achieving their goals in that regard. While she felt women can be every bit as effective as men in trades, she told the women she felt women work smarter

many times to make up for any perceived lack of strength, often doing the work better than their male counterparts just to demonstrate they can do it.

Her comments often drew rounds of applause and cheers from her young listeners, but she also threw in a few words of garnered wisdom she hoped they heard with equal enthusiasm.

“First, you need to love what you do because you may end up doing that for one third of your life,” she advised before adding, “Always work as a team and always be respectful.”

Ms. MacMillan was relentless in her push to have the young women recognize the potential in a trades-related career, adding there can be good money earned along the way from women who commit to enhancing their abili-

ties and skills to compete with equally skilled men.

“In two weeks of work, I make $7,000,” she told the awed students, a lesson they learned repeatedly as other speakers presented their cases.

Another guest speaker at the event was Lieutenant-Colonel (Lt.-Col.) Cathy Blue, the 8 Wing Logistics and Engineering Officer who readily admitted to looking out for technological opportunities as a young woman and eventually finding it in the equal-opportunity milieu of the CAF. There, she had pursued a competitive career on an equal footing with men while still baking cookies, having babies and working in a non-traditional role.

Throughout her career, Lt.Col. Blue told her young audience she always kept one thing top of mind.

“I was always aware that I was not only representing myself, but all women,” she stated.

Will Geris, the OYAP coordinator noted in his opening address that skilled trades were a good place for young women to be and he was excited that the base had opened their doors on this day to let the students in to see not only the skilled trades but the non-traditional military roles available, as well.

“I’m very pleased and excited that the base has opened their doors to us today to let us in to see what they do,’ he told the students and their teachers.

Students were told by other speakers that they had to guard against being the token female and establish themselves as hard workers more than capable of doing the job beside their male counterparts.

Ms. MacMillan said she had a whole new group of people to convince of her talents in each new job, but that she loved the challenge.

“Bring it on,” she said of each new test, much to the enthusiasm of her audience.

Lt. Brandon Rose, 8 Wing’s Personnel Selection Officer, helped organize the event and the visits to the base and was impressed with the enthusiasm and energy displayed by the students.

Timberwolf Gallery reopens in Frankford

By Erin Stewart Frankford – Quinte West artist Doug Comeau has relocated his art gallery from downtown Trenton to his home in Frankford, at 126 Glen Ross Rd. After 14 years as a successful and respected business in downtown Trenton, Comeau has built Timberwolf Gallery and his framing business at home as the next phase to his retirement so he can work from home.

“It took me about four years to put it together, it was a vision I’d had in the past and now it’s come to fruition,” Comeau said. “Having Timberwolf Gallery located at my residence marks the final chapter of my career as an artist and I look forward to showing my work in a more personal and private setting.”

Comeau said the past year of putting the finishing touches on his new gallery has been an exiting journey and so far so good.

“I love it, people are receiving it very well, there’s lots of room,” he said. “I’m looking forward to the future.”

Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison was on hand at

the official opening of the new Timberwolf Gallery on Fri. April 22. Harrison said the new gallery is very well done.

“He’s done a fantastic job, beautiful, he’s got a very nice location and a beautiful gallery, it’s just unbelievable what he’s done,” Harrison said.

“He’s been a great businessman and a real asset to Quinte West and this area, I’m proud of him.”

Comeau will be hosting an open house for the public to celebrate the new location on Sat. May 21, and Sun. May 22, from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. each day.

Timberwolf Gallery will be open by appointment Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Appointments can be made by calling or texting Comeau at 613-8474700 or by email to sirdrawsallot@gmail.com “I look forward to your visit and the opportunity to welcome you to the world of pencil realism and a chance to re-connect with as many past patrons as possible,” said Comeau. “I’m blessed to have made so many friends throughout this journey and I’m really excited to continue on this path so come and visit Timberwolf Gallery, an experience I’m sure you will enjoy.”

So, You’ve Written a Will...

but are ALL your ducks in a row?

Sledge hockey clinic a hit with young and old

book and now strives to provide sports opportunities for those with exceptionalities.

Kristen Whalen, who founded the group along with her husband Chris, said she was thrilled with the turnout at the event.

Kids and adults glided around the ice on one end and a sledge hockey game took place on the other end.

Several members of a sledge hockey team, from Kingston, attended to help newcomers learn about the sport.

The event also included Brad Boyden, a member of Canada’s Paralympic sledge hockey team, which won gold in 2006 and bronze in 2014.

Kristen and Chris started the Facebook group because their

Belleville – Nicholas Whalen normally shoots left in hockey, but when he took to the ice on Sunday he suddenly became ambidextrous.

That’s one of the many beauties of sledge hockey, a popular Paralympic sport that resembles hockey, only the athletes sit on a sled low to the ground and hold sticks in both hands. Players use the sticks to push themselves along the ice and to shoot or pass the puck.

Nicholas, a goaltender on the Stirling Blues bantam team, said he was loving sledge hockey, and in fact, he wasn’t finding it difficult.

“I can go fast,” he said. “Fast enough.”

He was one of dozens of people – both young and old – who came out to the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre on Sunday, April 24 to give sledge hockey a try.

The free event was put on by a group called Adaptive Sport Dustin Whalen attempts sledge hockey with his three-year-old daughter Rebecca in Opportunities Quinte/Belleville, his lap.

four-year-old daughter Aurora has special needs.

Although a little shy at first, she eventually took to the ice and enjoyed moving around on the sled with her dad.

Kristen said it’s important for kids like Aurora to have opportunities to compete in sports, like other kids. She said it was exciting to see her have an opportunity to be on the ice with

her older hockey-loving brother.

“Aurora is a sport nut,” she said. “She’s not content to just sit on the sidelines.”

Kristen said she hopes the clinic will be the “start of something sledge-related” in Belleville. She hopes the clinic can either take place regularly or a Belleville sledge hockey team can form.

Slowly, more opportunities for athletes with special needs are

coming to Belleville, she said.

The YMCA hosts wheelchair basketball every Tuesday, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. and the group involved in that have plans on launching wheelchair rugby soon, she said.

She added that able-bodied athletes are welcome to play these sports, too. The great thing about these sports is that they “even the playing field.”

Nate Bassett scorched the Celtics with 18 points and the Heat’s hardest working player was Ryan Fitzgerald.

Ben Lucero poured in 18 for the Celtics and the hardest working player was Noah Malcolm-Daley.

In the Grade 7/8 division the Warriors precision attack was too much for the under armed T’Wolves pack.

The T’Wolves fought until the final

buzzer but came up short in the battle 52-40.

The Warriors were lead by Marcus Jodouin with 16 points and the hardest working player was Tristan Soo-Lum. The T’Wolves were lead by Matthew Lombardi with 16 points and the hardest working player was Cameron Derry.

In the second game of the Grade 7/8 division the Spurs declawed the Raptors to the point where they were no longer able to rip apart the tight Spurs defense and fell 62-31.

The Spurs declawing was lead by Tori Tees with 29 and the hardest working player was Matthew Smith.

Nicholas Blagojevic bit and clawed for the Raptors with 15 points and the hardest working player Cody Bergeron.

There are only two more weeks until playoffs start and there is jostling for playoff position still to be determined.Â

Go online to help military families in MFRC auction

By Ross Lees The Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC) Invisible Ribbon Gala online auction is thriving once again this year after a fantastic introductory year last year.

This year’s auction began on Thursday, April 21, runs for 12 days and concludes on May 2. More than 100 items will likely be listed in the auction on Facebook before it ends, online auction coordinator Joanna Cronk estimated.

“Last year, we raised $2,400 from 40 items,” Cronk said. “This year,

we have close to 100 items and stuff is still coming in, so we hope our proceeds will increase accordingly.”

Bidding began on April 21 (Invisibleribbononlineauction2016) and no pre-bids were allowed. Bidding ends on May 2 and items must be picked up and paid for at the MFRC no later than May 6 at noon. Items can be paid for using cash, debit or credit card, although no personal cheques will be allowed. There is no delivery of items. Links for the online auction can be found on the MFRC website, all MFRC social media sites and on the Invisible Ribbon Gala website.

Items in this year’s online auction include something for everyone, ranging in price from $20 up to $500 and include jeweler, clothing, household items, gift baskets, art, home, pet care and gift certificates for a variety of things including restaurants, personal care (chiro, massage, reflexology), photography sessions, shows, events, wine tours and wills.

“Stuff will be added to the auction throughout the period it runs to keep people coming back,” said. Cronk.

“We are having new stuff donated all the time.”

Response to this year’s auction has

already resulted in 230 participants signing up, the total signed up for all of last year.

“We’re hoping for 500 participants this year,” added MFRC Communications and Development Co-ordinator Devon Taylor.

Stefani Wolf, the special events coordinator for the MFRC added that there was a lot of variety in the items and she hoped the increase in item volume would result in a similar increase in proceeds.

“All proceeds from this year’s auction go to the 12th Annual Invisible Ribbon Gala in support of the

MFRC expansion,” said Taylor.

Taking place on May 7 at the National Air Force Museum of Canada, this year’s gala is themed around the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP) with a 1940s theme that will add atmosphere to the event.

Tickets are already virtually sold out three weeks in advance of the event, to the delight of the organizers.

Major-General D.L.R. Wheeler, 1 Canadian Air Division (1 CAD) Commander is the guest speaker for this annual MFRC fundraiser.

MFRC Communications and Development Co-ordinator Devon Taylor, online auction coordinator Joanna Cronk, and Stefani Wolf, the special events coordinator for the MFRC display just a few of the many items that will be featured on the Invisible Ribbon Gala online auction beginning April 21 and running through to May 2.

Man has vehicle seized after driving it into the ditch twice

By Terry McNamee

Stirling—When the Quinte Region Traffic Coalition (QRTC) conducted their “Big Four” enforcement blitz on April 21, they didn’t expect to charge one man twice on the same day for the same infraction.

Const. Scott Preston of the Stirling-Rawdon Police Service said the QRTC traffic blitz last Thursday was focused on aggressive driving, impaired driving, distracted driving and failing to wear seatbelts throughout Hastings and Prince Edward Counties. A total of 163 charges were laid throughout the region during the oneday campaign.

The OPP Highway Safety Division found a 61-year-old man who had driven his car into a ditch on an area side road. An ambulance was called and, after it was determined that the driver was not impaired and had not suffered a medical emergency such as diabetic shock, the undamaged vehicle was towed out of the ditch.

The man was charged with careless driving.

Six hours later, the OPP found the same vehicle with the same driver in a ditch on the same road.

This time, the man’s vehicle was seized and he was charged with another count of careless driving and given a summons to attend court.

The rest of the day’s traffic charges included 113 speeding tickets, seven seatbelt infractions, two distracted driving offences due to cell phone use, two suspended drivers and 39 other Highway Traffic Act offences.

“Although the campaign is over, the QRTC reminds motorists that police will continue to conduct scheduled enforcement blitzes,” Preston said. “Motorists should be aware of their driving behaviours and make adjustments in their driving habits.”

The Quinte Region Traffic Coalition is a partnership of Hastings Prince Edward Public Health, Belleville Police Service, Stirling-Rawdon Police Service, 21 Military Police Flight, Napanee Highway Safety Division and the Bancroft, Central Hastings, Napanee, Prince Edward County and Quinte West OPP detachments.

Dear Editor

Gala shot – Guns `r Us?

I’m not clear as to your intention for putting a photo of a gun toting (guest?) attending the Hospice Quinte Gala, on the front cover of the April 14th Connected community weekly. Was Dean Lindsay on security detail? Is he a detective that forgot his jacket? A thug?

This photo is the kind of thing I would expect to see in a Guns R Us publication from south

of the border. Did it grab my attention? Yup! But so would crime scene photos of a murder victim. Leave out the sensationalist content, please. The community will continue to read your publication because we like to know what’s happening around town and in small town Ontario we like to see the ads too.

Master playwright to perform at Stirling

By Jack Evans It’s hard to imagine a live theatre fan who has not heard of Canadian playwright Norm Foster. This theatre icon has so far written several dozen successful comedy plays and most of them are being performed at least somewhere almost any day of the year. He is credited with being Canada’s “most performed” playwright.

That is substantiated by the fact that some 150 of his plays are being performed each year on a world-wide basis.

That being said, one of his most recent works called “On a First Name Basis,” comes to the Stirling Festival Theatre for a five-day run

May 4-8. In the finest tradition of Shakespeare, who frequently acted in his own shows, Foster is the key character in this comedy, playing the Stirling stage for the first time, or any stage in the Quinte area for that matter.

The show opens with a matinee on Wednesday, May 4 at 2 p.m. followed by an 8 p.m. show with a pre-show dinner optional. The show also plays at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Friday, May 6. On Thursday, May 5 and Sunday, May 8 the show plays at 2 p.m. only.

On Saturday, May 7 the show plays only at 8 p.m.

Tickets are $24 for members, $26 for seniors, $28 for non-members plus $25 for a pre-show dinner. For

tickets or information, call (613) 3952100 or toll-free 1-877-312-1162, or visit the website: www.stirlingfestivaltheatre.com.

In a telephone interview, Foster said the show is about a spy story writer who has had the services of a maid for 28 years but he knows nothing about her, while she knows everything about him. On one special night, he decides it is time to find out for himself, leading to a two-hour, drunken conversation full of laughs and tears.

A number of Foster’s works have been performed by various amateur and professional companies across the area over many years. The Belleville

Theatre Guild, for instance, is mounting a repeat performance of his play, “The Melville Boys,” as part of its next season.

So popular is Foster’s work that a Foster Festival gets under way in St.Catharines this coming June as a permanent new theatre festival.

Foster was born in Newmarket, Ontario, but grew up in the Maritimes, where he got into radio and thence into local amateur theatre, which in turn led to his decision to write plays himself, he said.

As for the humour: “When I was growing up, our family watched a lot of television comedy shows, with greats like Jackie Gleason, Jack

Benny and Milton Berle. That kind of comedy got ingrained in me.”

Starring with Foster is actress Trish Vanstone or Toronto, also making her first appearance on the Stirling stage. ‘I’ve heard many good things about the theatre,” she said, “and I’ve known David Vanderlip (theatre manager) for many years as a good friend.”

She said she and Foster have developed a great stage chemistry as her role of a street-wise girl connecting with the erudite writer. One of Foster’s more recent plays, “On a First Name Basis” has already been widely performed internationally and has proven popular with audiences.

A comedic touch for history of Trenton base

By Jack Evans CFB Trenton’s first 80 years of history provided a wealth of information for air force historian Maj. Bill Arthur in a talk to the Hastings County Historical Society at Belleville’s Maranatha Church.

The speaker, an official air force historian, laced his talk with a generous helping of wit and humour, delighting a large audience. Typical were his comments about paratroopers. “Nobody in their right mind jumps from a serviceable flying aircraft with or without a parachute,” he declared. He had similar quips about landing on an aircraft carrier and his fellow armed services, the army and navy.

He also commented on the solid concrete structures which still stand on the base, part of the community’s requirements for the project to make sure they could not get torn down and moved as so many military bases had. “Now they’re still there and we can’t tear them down even if there

was a good reason because they are designated heritage buildings,” he quipped.

Legends of a deal with the defence department being consummated on the late Senator Fraser’s yacht with a bottle of liquor cannot be substantiated, he said, but there were good reasons also. The air force had been impressed with the Quinte area’s suitability from the First World War flying station at Deseronto, and liked the rural setting combined with good highway access and labour pool for construction and civilian employment.

He talked about the early training aircraft such as Siskins. Many crashed, but there were few fatalities.

Similarly, the bright yellow used for such aircraft was deliberate to make them easy to spot if they crashed, whether in forest or snow.

Almost all of the planes used by the Canadian air force drew colourful nicknames. The famous but illfated Arrow, for instance, was called

a “dart.” He showed a photo of one which actually landed at Trenton, among the many famous aircraft and people that have visited the base over the years.

During the Second World War, CFB Trenton also played a significant role in Hollywood wartime propaganda movies, such as “Captains of the Clouds,” starring James Cagney, with large photos shown on the screen to support this. Also Tyrone Power in “A Yank in the RAF.” The British Commonwealth Air Training Program, he said, was a highlight of the base’s history, drawing thousands of air crew from all over the world for flight and other specialized training. He

credited then-prime minister McKenzie King for spearheading it in the hope of avoiding the horrendous casualties of the First World War. He also did an exercise with the audience to illustrate the massive casualties for Bomber Command, in the Second World War, where only one in three odds were expected for a person to complete their regular number of missions.

For the future, he predicted extensive continuing construction, but nothing much new in aircraft as the money has run out. On average, he noted, “it takes 15 years from the time the air force asks for a specific plane before it is actually purchased.”

He suggested if one were buying a new vehicle today, even gasoline might not be available in 15 years.

Quinte Conservation plans for future

By Jack Evans After existing for several decades and frozen in time in budget restraints for the past several years, Quinte Conservation Board members decided last week it is time to plan for the future.

That, said general manager Terry

Murphy, includes a “succession plan” for staff as well as future facilities, specifically a new headquarters building, now overcrowded with staff and gear from taking in three areas, plus the push for source water protection and the continuing Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan.

The large barn on the property, originally designated for storage, remains in danger of severe damage if not complete loss from high winds, Murphy added, and suggested that if the barn were to be torn down, that space, already on the agency’s property, could be used for a new office headquarters.

His specific request was for a special committee to meet “as soon as possible” and report back to the board with proposals and data. The motion was approved.

Murphy also filled the board in on a festering situation at the popular Vanderwater Conservation Area near Tweed.

The authority learned, by accident, said Murphy, that approximately 400 metres of Moira River shoreline in the Vanderwater Conservation Area is not, in fact, owned by the authority. While, according to official deeds, the land is not in title to Quinte Conservation, the authority has used and managed the area for 40 years. Murphy said the land is connected to a property on the opposite side of the river, the new owner of which is now seeking to reclaim for his use. An immediate impact of this is the annual Scout camp event

held there, which has traditionally used that portion of the park.

Murphy said any offer of purchase to complete the park’s boundaries properly has been rejected and it is a difficult situation. But, for the current summer, the owner has given permission for the Scout camp’s use in return for legal access to his part of the property across Conservation-owned property. Murphy gave no explanation of how the error in the park’s boundaries occurred in the first place.

A report from staffer Christine McClure on this year’s spring runoff showed no serious problems with typical runoff problems and no flood threats.

MPP Todd Smith named Natural Resources and Forestry Critic

The MPP from Prince Edward-Hastings has some new duties on his plate at Queen’s Park. This week, Progressive Conservative Party leader Patrick Brown added the Natural Resources and Forestry portfolio to Todd Smith’s list of responsibilities, which already include his Caucus’ response to the government’s Hydro One sale.

“Obviously, any time you’re given extra responsibilities, it’s an honour.”

Smith stated. “In the wake of a budget that just raised a number of fees for fishing, hunting and camping in 2017, I think it’s important to people in my riding that extra attention be placed on these matters.”

The increase in responsibilities to the PC Caucus comes after a couple particularly busy weeks for Smith at Queen’s Park where he hosted Prince Edward-Hastings Day and led the PC Caucus fight to keep Provincial and

Demonstration Schools open beyond the 2016-17 school year. That includes Belleville’s Sagonaska Demonstration School.

“I think over the last few weeks, we’ve taken on areas beyond the Hydro One sale and shown that we could play a bigger role going forward inside the caucus.”

Smith added. “As I said, it’s a real honour to play a bigger role in the caucus as we look toward hopefully forming government in 2018.”

Smith went on to elaborate on some of the Natu-

ral Resources issues that he’s had to deal with as MPP for Prince EdwardHastings and how dealing with those constituent concerns will help him in his new role.

“Obviously the wind turbine issue in

Prince Edward County has given me some background in endangered species but there have been forestry issues in North Hastings, conservation issues across the riding and the Sandbanks Provincial Park issue in the

County that all touch on my new job.”

Smith concluded. “At the end of the day, it’s about results and that’s what I’m hoping to achieve both for people in Prince Edward-Hastings and now across Ontario on this file.”

Common weeds in Clost’s Commons

By Dan Clost I raked our lawns this past week. All is well including the weeds; in fact, they’re doing quite well.

Actually, now is perhaps the best time to scout your greenswards and winkle out the unwanted squatters. Here are the four most populous in the Clost Common.

Henbit, Lamium amplexicaule, looks like purple dead nettle. The difference between the two is that the latter is not found on our piece of this good earth. Both are members of the mint family- the giveaway is the square stem. The differences, unless you get close, are subtle. Henbit leaves are a bit smaller, sort of scalloped and they have no petioles or leaf stems; they are attached directly to the stalk. The really fancy way to say that is “amplexicaule”, which is the

word you skipped over near the beginning of this paragraph.

Henbit has many uses not the least being a source of pollen and nectar; however, it does not belong in my greensward. Fortunately, it uproots quite easily requiring only a moderate tug. You could look for little plants in the early fall or wait until spring when they’re much easier to spot. No pesticides required.

Dandelion, Taraxacum officinale, has a cheerful yellow flower which youngsters often pick as their first bouquet for mom. Yes, we are familiar with the dandelion but did you know that the cypselae are oblanceoloid shaped and are attached to the pappi? Sure you did; here’s the translation: the fruits are sort of lance shaped (a bit broader at one end) and are stuck to the end of the parachute. So when the wind blows the little ball of cotton, each seed heads off on its own journey. It is often a very short journey- from my upwind neigh-

The QuinteWest News published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!

THE

bour’s yard down to mine. You can eat the leaves in salads, bake the roots and make ersatz coffee and the flowers are often used for wine. When they bloom, you know it is time to sow squash and beans in your garden. Dandelions are useful and pretty but they don’t belong in my lawn. I favour the stand-up claw type weeder. I don’t have to bend over and it requires very little effort.

Diligence would be the watchword; when you see the first hint of yellow, grab the big stick. It is helpful to drop a couple of grass seeds in the now-open space. No pesticides required.

Creeping Charlie, Glechoma hederaceae, has many similarities to henbit except it grows along the ground. The stems are square, the leaves look the same but with petioles, it has a minty smell when crushed and the flowers are blue to purple. This chappy could also be related to Hydra as each chopped up bit left laying on the soil can generate a whole new plant. If you find

this plant in your lawn, do your best to nick it out in the early spring and then grow good grass. Good cultural practices for lawns are not what this weed wants. Diligence is the watch word here, too. . In Ontario, borax is listed as a Class 11 pesticide and can be used for cosmetic purposes. Borax, mixed properly in solution, is effective but you need to be precise with your arithmetic. Too little and you waste your money; too much and you kill more than you want. Also, borax is persistent so should only be used once a year. My preference- doesn’t use borax, use your hoe.

Creeping Bellflower, Campanula rampunculoides, is a bane in our flower beds in spite of the pretty blue flowers. Rob Sproule calls it the Zombie Weed. I’m not really a fan of weed mats but this would be one situation meriting its use. Forget chemicals. When you see the pretty flowers, yank the plant out of the ground and put it into the trash, not the composter.

A visit to the birthplace of watchmaking

By John M. Smith The beautiful, cosmopolitan city of Geneva, Switzerland is located in the southwest corner of the country, on Lake Geneva, near the French border and at the foot of the Jura Mountains. It’s known as “the birthplace of watchmaking”, site of the International Museum of the Red Cross and Red Crescent, and home of the European headquarters of the United Nations. In addition to these points of interest, Geneva has several other unique offerings: 1. Jet d’Eau: Geneva’s main landmark is this giant water fountain that spews out about 500 litres of water per second to an altitude of 140 metres. During high winds, the fountain is shut off – to avoid spectators being drenched!

2. Free Transportation Pass: This is given to all hotel guests in the city, and it includes the lake ferry as well as bus transportation. It’s a great way to welcome tourists!

3. One of the World’s Largest Mechanical Clocks: Since watchmaking is so important in Geneva, you’d expect to find museums depicting the history of watchmaking here, as well as a plethora of watchmakers’ shops. However, you’ll also find one of the world’s largest mechanical clocks, with a pendulum that’s 30 metres in length, in the lobby of Geneva’s Hotel Cornavin. You’ll also be able to stroll by a very popular Flower

Clock in this city, with 6500 flowers in the dial – and the world’s longest seconds-hand!

4. Brunswick Memorial: The Duke of Brunswick bequeathed his fortune to the city in exchange for this impressive mausoleum that was built here in 1879 in neo-gothic style.

A statue of the duke on horseback sat atop this monument, but it was moved from here for safety reasons.

5. Sisi Statue: It’s erected in memory of Elisabeth, the longest-reigning Empress of Austria and also the Queen of Hungary, who was stabbed to death while visiting Geneva on Sept. 10, 1898. She died in her hotel room in the Beau-Rivage later that day as a result of the wound that she’d received while out walking, and this memorial statue is located directly opposite this hotel.

6. Broken Chair Sculpture: It’s erected by Handicap International at the entrance to the Palais des Nations (European headquarters of the United Nations), and the broken leg symbolizes an opposition to land mines and cluster bombs.

7. St. Peter’s Cathedral: It was built in the 12th century, on top of archaeological sites that date back to the first century, and it was eventually transformed from a Roman Catholic Church to a Protestant place of worship in the 16th century (during the Reformation). John Calvin preached here from 1536 – 1564, and the austere looking, stripped interior of the then Protestant Church reflected his Re-

formist teachings.

8. The Reformation Wall: This historic monument depicts the main figures of the Protestant Reformation, including John Calvin and John Knox, and they’re carved directly into the old city walls. A motto is inscribed in Latin: “Post Tenebras Lux” (which translates as “After darkness, light”).

9. Calvinus Beer: This unfiltered, organic brew is now available in local supermarkets and bars. What would Calvin himself have thought about this?

10. Promenade de la Treille: It claims to have “the largest bench in the world” (126 metres) and offers great views over the Promenade des Bastions.

11. Newspaper Stands: They trust locals and tourists here, for the newsstands have a price posted, but the doors are not locked. People are expected to pay and then take a newspaper from the open box - and, yes, it seems to work!

12. The Celebration of L’Escalade: On Dec. 11, 1602, a woman named Mere Royaume poured a cauldron of piping-hot vegetable soup over the head of an enemy soldier who was trying to scale a city wall and invade Geneva on behalf of the Duke of Savoy. The invasion failed, and the event is still celebrated annually – with a torch-lit procession in historic cos- Gazing up at the towering mechanical clock in Geneva’s Hotel Cornavin. tumes and a huge bonfire in Cathedral Square.

Awards scant for local theatre groups

By Jack Evans Belleville Theatre Guild participants returned from the annual Eastern Ontario Drama League competition with two awards.

The result is likely to be somewhat disappointing for local theatre fans as the BTG has traditionally been hugely successful at this event, not only for Belleville, but other Quinte area amateur theatre groups.

This year though, stiff competition was fielded by Northumberland Players with “Boeing Boeing,” and host Peterborough Theatre Guild with “Of the Fields Lately.”

Belleville’s entry drew two awards though, Outstanding Student Contribution to Gian Paulo Lattanzio for stage manager and Meaghan Lattanzio as Best Cameo Performance in the local guild’s entry, “Later Life.”

Northumberland Players scooped up four awards: Best Production, Best Costuming, Best Visual Presentation, and Best Actress in a Major Role.

Host Peterborough took six awards with their pro-

duction of “Of the Fields Lately:”- Adjudicator Award, Set Design, Acting Excellence,, Best Actor in Major Role, Best Use of Speech, and Best Production of a Canadian Play.

Prince Edward Theatre won an Adjudicator’s Award for “Time Stands Still,” as well as an award for Acting Excellence to Karry Cole.

Meanwhile, the BellevilleTheatre Guild has announced its program for the new 2016-17 season, starting with another evening of one-act plays Aug. 31-Sept. 3. Then Oct. 13-29 is the blockbuster “On Golden Pond..” The classic comedy, “Arsenic and Old Lace” plays Dec. 1-17 followed by another staging of the Canadian hit comedy, “The Melville Boys,” Feb. 2-18. Based on the famous Jane Austen novel, “Pride and Prejudice” comes alive on the Pinnacle Playhouse stage March 30-April 15. The season closes with the traditional musical, next year’s being “Little Shop of Horrors,” a hilarious chiller. For details: www.bellevilletheatreguild.ca

Source protection QHC staff promotes committee has vacancy organ donations April, apart from signalling spring, is officially “Be A Donor Month,” to encourage more donations of vitally needed organs and tissue. Such donations can mean the difference between life and death for thousands of Canadians every year.

In the forefront of this promotion are staff members of Quinte Health Care, most of whom have already signed up to donate their organs or soon will be, through the Trillium Gift of Life Network.

The network co-ordinates organ and tissue donations for transplantation across Ontario. Quinte Health Care became a “designated” hospital in June of 2014, QHC officials explained. Prior to this status, there were often delays between time of death and knowledge of organ donations.

Sarah Corkey, manage of QHC’ss intensive care unit, said that since the relations hip began, “Staff have really become engaged and the results are phenomenal.

This last quarter , we realized a 93 per cent notification of deaths to Trillium Gift of Life network, which means that nearly all potential donors are being considered at the time of death.” She expanded: “Between April and December of last year we

B20

Section B - Thursday, April 28, 2016

had four organ donors where eight people benefitted and from April of last year to last February we had 28 eye donors from three of our hospitals – Belleville General, North Hastings and Trenton Memorial. These donors, over the years, have changed the lives of countless recipients.”

Trillium Gift of Life officials note that “one organ and tissue donor can save up to eight lives and enhance 75 others through the gift of tissue.” But, they note, this is not possible “without our hospital partners which make such transplants possible.”

Hospital employees encourage other citizens to get involved in this life-saving effort by registering their consent online with the QHC campaign page at: www. beadonor.ca/quintehealth care. All that is required is one’s health care card. “You can also visit this page to check the status of your current situation concerning organ donations,” said Dr. Carolyn Tram, critical care physician at QHC Belleville General Hospital. She added that so far, only 29 per cent of Ontarians are registered. “It is extremely challenging to have enough organs to meet the demands of the patients in need who are out there,” she said.

The search is on for a new member of the Quinte Region Source Protection Committee who can represent small business and small industry in the Quinte region. The Committee vacancy was discussed at the Quinte Conservation Source Protection Authority meeting on April 21, 2016.

The Source Protection committee has produced several reports since its formation in 2007 including the provincially approved Source Protection Plan. The plan contains policies setting out how 11 local municipal drinking water sources are to be protected. Implementation of the Plan began January 1, 2015.

“We are looking for someone with experience and knowledge in the small business or small industry sector who has an interest in protecting drinking water sources,” explains Keith Taylor, Source Water Protection Project Manager at Quinte Conservation.

“Among other qualifications this position requires a multi-year commitment, an ability to understand scientific and technical reports, and attendance at the two or more Source Protec-

tion Committee meetings held each year. Applicants must also live or work in the Quinte region,” adds Taylor.

The successful candidate will fill one of five economic sector seats on the committee; along with two representatives from agriculture and one each from large business/large industry and tourism/recreation. The committee also includes a chair, five municipal and five public representatives, two First Nations members and three non-voting liaison members. The committee makeup is set out in provincial regulation under the Clean Water Act, 2006.

Future work of the committee includes the review of new scientific and technical information to ensure that the Source Protection Plan and its supporting reports remain current and relevant; and amending and updating documents as required by the Clean Water Act, 2006.

Taylor advises anyone wishing more information to contact him at Quinte Conservation, 613-968-3434 extension 114, or check the official notice posted at QuinteSourceWater.ca.

Loyalist grad rate continues strong at 87.4 % Belleville – A Loyalist College education continues to offer a great chance at finding work, according to provincial job placement figures.

College officials said they are pleased with Provincial Key Performance Indicator results released recently by Ontario Colleges.

They show that 87.4 per cent of Loyalist’s most recent graduates found employment within six months of graduation. That’s above the provincial average of 83.6 per cent.

“We are very pleased with this outstanding result,” said Loyalist President Maureen Piercy. “The college has a strong tradition in graduate employment. Loyalist grads have always achieved high placement rates relative to the college system, and once again this year our results are above the provincial average, and right at the top in Eastern Ontario.”

Other KPI results for Loyalist show strong satisfaction rates above the provincial average for graduate satisfaction (81.6 vs. 80.3), employer satisfaction (92.2 vs. 91.4), and student satisfaction (79.4 vs 76.8).

The graduation rate of 66.7 percent is equal to the provincial result.

“We review the annual KPI results as part of our continuous improvement process,” said Piercy. “While there are always opportunities for improvement, the results this year really speak to the excellence of college programming, teaching and the Loyalist experience for students.

The provincial government and the colleges have been gathering the annual data on college results since 1998.

The most recent KPIs were gathered by two independent research firms, from March 2015 to February 2016.

Ontario’s ‘remarkable cardiac care’ reducing heart disease’s impact

By John Campbell

Campbellford – While heart disease remains common, accounting for 375,000 emergency room visits in Ontario each year, it’s becoming less of a risk to people’s long-term health and continued survival.

“We‘ve come a long way in terms of our understanding how to treat patients so that they have a longer, healthier life,” Dr. Joseph Ricci, chief cardiologist for the Rouge Valley Health System, told a small audience who attended the 16th annual health forum sponsored by the Campbellford Lions.

Heart disease is no longer the number one cause of death in North America, Ricci said, in large part because of “lifesaving strategies that go beyond” medication and surgery.

“We are fortunate in Ontario ... to have pretty remarkable cardiac care,” he said.

Cardiovascular rehabilitation services are provided for free at sites across the province, including 14 within the Central East Local Health Integration Network, such as the Hastings Field House (Mondays 1-3 p.m.).

All are within 30 minutes travel time for patients.

The services combine education, exercise, counselling and support administered by a multidisciplinary team of health professionals over a 12-month period.

“One heart attack shouldn‘t have much effect on your health,” in fact, it can be “a good thing,” Ricci said, by serving as “a warning sign” that “a different approach” is needed in how you go about life.

“The most important thing is what you do to prevent yourself having future problems,” he said. “We have really good evidence that you can reverse heart disease,” by exercising and taking aspirin along with certain medications.

The benefits of cardiovascular rehabilitation is a 20 to 30 per cent reduction in mortality and cardio-related hospitalization, fewer risk factors and an improved quality of life.

Currently about 3,300 patients a year make use of the service and the goal is to increase that number to around 5,000 by next year.

Amber Heath, the regional coordinator of the cardiovascular rehabilitation program, said two-hour classes are held once a week. “You‘re not exercising the whole time,” she stressed, and the exer-

cises are designed for each person, for at home as well as in the community setting.

The education sessions deal with different subjects, such as how to manage stress.

Trent Hills community services officer, Peter Burnett, said he “can attest to the success” of the program, because

he has seen what it has done for a close friend who suffered a heart attack last November.

The “improvement in his overall fitness and stamina is amazing to see,” he said.

To learn more about cardiovascular rehabilitation in this region, call 1-855448-5471.

Beware of bogus CRA calls: Police

The Belleville Police Service is reminding the public about the prevalence of phone scams and frauds with people posing as representatives of the Canada Revenue Agency.

These fraudsters are advising that they are agents or officers employed by the CRA and threaten arrest or legal action if individuals do not provide money or other personal information. Although the call may appear to be local, as it may have a 613 area code, it is not originating from this area, police say.

The CRA and other government agencies will not contact individuals in this manner and attempt to obtain personal information.

Do not engage in conversation with these individuals and/or provide personal information. In fact, end the call immediately, police say.

If anyone has provided personal and/or credit information to these individuals contact the Belleville Police Service to report the incident at 613-966-0882 ext. 2211.

Earl Prentice School children totally immersed in Earth and Water matters

By Margriet Kitchen

Marmora – What were you doing for Earth Day, April 22?

Like many other school communities in Canada, the children from Earl Prentice in Marmora spent part of their morning cleaning the school yard and surrounding area, includ-

ing the fairgrounds. Miss Murphy’s grade one/two class were responsible for collecting garbage in front of the school on William Street and both parking lot areas east and west of the school. Others were busy cleaning at the fairgrounds.

During the same week, the entire school population, many of their

family members and teachers attended the Ripley Aquarium in Toronto. Earlier this spring, the school learned that they had been awarded one of the few educational trips offered to schools in Ontario by the Ripley Aquarium through their Sea Scholar Program. As part of their original application,

children took part in a video, took ‘shark selfies’, and did comprehensive write-ups on aquatic life.

Along with the generous support of the school council, the trip became a reality, with four packed highway coaches providing a comfortable trip. Funding was also provided through the Department of Education supplemental transportation allowance. An additional educational facet of the outing was that the children were able to compare the rural area they are familiar with, to the huge city of Toronto, with its different landscape, structures and pace of life. After a self-guided tour of the Aquarium, with lots of opportuGrade 2 students from Earl Prentice School, Marmora, Wyatt Pressick, left, and Neveah Whiteman, take in the Ripley’s displays. Photo by Glenda Pressick nities for memorable pictures, the

Aquarium staff met with the group, and advised that their film was an outstanding effort and as a result has been distributed to all the Ripley Aquarium sites.

Vice Principal, C. Brault commented, “Our school has been turned into a pseudo-aquarium, since the children have been researching all kinds of aquatic life, and posting their findings, photos and drawings on the bulletin board! This has been a great experience for the entire school as one identity, since in the fall of 2017 they will be amalgamating with the Marmora Senior School.”
