Home and Leisure Show does more than entertain

By Kate Everson

News - Trenton - The Home and Leisure Show held at the Trenton arenas on April 25, 26 and 27 was a great way to welcome spring, at last. “Winner of the Best Booth in the show was Signature Landscape Concepts,â€? said Chamber of Commerce manager Suzanne Andrews. The booth was decorated with evergreens and owers with a stone walkway. The partnership of Daniel Button and Brent Tripp won the coveted trophy. The Garden Place, which won the prize last year, also featured bright spring owers, good for ending the coldest months of the year. Joan Gray, president of the Trenton Horticultural Society and Garden Club, also showed off some greenery to advertise the club. “These are house plants,â€? she said holding up a plant called sansevieria. The annual plant sale will be he held Saturday, May 17, from 8 a.m. to 12 noon, or until sold out, at the Chiropractic Centre parking lot at 455 Dundas Street West in Trenton. Annuals and perennials from local gardens will be available. Proceeds from the sale will be used for gardens at Trenton Memorial Hospital patio and atrium on 2 C. For more

One-lane bridge on Murray Canal not an option By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - Residents near the Murray Canal bridge off County Road 64 have made it very clear. They do not want their two-lane bridge replaced by a one-lane. The $4.6-million bridge is scheduled to be built by 2015 by Parks Canada. “We don’t want to see it reduced,� said Councillor Jim Harrison at a public meeting at city hall with Parks Canada representatives, MP Rick Norlock and a room packed with angry people on April 23. “We want an acceptable solution.� A presentation by Jewel Cunningham, Parks Canada director of Ontario Water-

onstructall ranite

ways from Peterborough, project manager Dean Hamilton and project engineer Brett McLellan, attempted to explain why the bridge design is for one lane. It only seemed to raise more concerns. “It’s not the same as it was thirty years ago,â€? explained Norlock. “We have to meet current standards.â€? He said the bridge is too narrow to support two lanes now, following the Canadian Highway Design Code. The minimum lane width is 3.5 metres. For two lanes it should be 9.5 metres wide. “It’s 3.05 metres or ten feet too narrow to be used for a two-lane bridge,â€? he said. “Vehicles are bigger now. It’s not sufďŹ -

cient to let two large vehicles cross.� He said the proposed one-lane bridge will have a pedestrian walkway for safety. “If construction is delayed,� he added, “this may result in a lower tonnage restriction on the bridge or it may have to be closed completely.� He said there is no guarantee it will be safe for nine tons after next winter. He noted the bridge at Carrying Place was repaired, not replaced, and was still able to keep its original two lanes. Norlock said that even if the three municipalities, Quinte West, Brighton and Prince Edward County, contrib-

uted enough for a two-lane $8.3-million bridge there would be a two-year delay, terminating the current contract and over $300,000 already spent would be lost. He said they could submit a request to Build Canada for more funding. TrafďŹ c studies showed that a one-lane bridge would be acceptable for that area which links Brighton to Prince Edward County. Project manager Dean Hamilton said even with ďŹ ve bridge swings an hour the average delay would only be 119 seconds. He also noted that with a wider bridge they may have to change the alignment which would cost $10 million and if

Last year, a group of local volunteers passionate about living and working in Belleville hosted the city’s firstever Jane’s Walk, which is always held on the first weekend in May to coincide with Jane Jacobs’ birthday. Hundreds of enthusiastic participants turned out to take part in one or more of the three (free) guided walks. This year, the second annual Jane’s Walk will be held on Saturday, May 3 and Sunday, May 4 and will include a fourth walk to encourage even more residents to lace up and explore the waterfront and downtown neighbourhoods. In light of the Build Belleville plan to revitalize the city centre, Jane’s Walk pro-

vides a no-cost way to get up close and personal with the past, present and future of Belleville and with the hearts and minds of its citizens. “Its always wise to learn about our past before we decide our future,� says Susan White, retired professor of journalism at Loyalist College and chair of the 2013 Jane’s Walk committee. Feedback from last year’s walk leaders and participants was carefully considered in the planning of this year’s event. As a result, walks will be held at different times (rain or shine) making it possible to participate in all of them. “There is something for everyone,� White notes. Each of the informative walks will be led by experts and participants are encouraged to share their personal stories and perspectives with the group. Marianne Scott, one of the Jane’s Walk 2014 volunteer coordinators, says the event is a “must for civic leaders, planners and architects who would like to hear different opinions and perspectives about the city in an informal setting.� Following Walk #2 (“Downtown Possibilities�), a “Jane’s Talk� will be held on Saturday, May 3 at 3 p.m. at the Build Belleville Project Centre at 116 Pinnacle Street.

with them. Rinaldi asked when the traffic study was done. Project manager Dean Hamilton said it was based on a 2008 study with escalations of two per cent a year. “How can you do a traffic study without actually counting cars?� Rinaldi asked. Norlock said it is the width of the bridge not the number of cars that matters. Hamilton said the level of service is based on industry standards. Rinaldi asked who estimated it was a two per cent growth rate. Hamilton said it was

based on consultants’ information. Rinaldi asked if they were from the area. Hamilton said he did not believe so. Rinaldi asked the cost of the bridge on Highway 2. Jim Harrison said it was $10 million. Rinaldi commented, “You built a mountain and you can’t build a puny bridge for $8 million?� Norlock said that was with three partners and a fixed structure. Moving bridges require more. “Talk to their engineer,� Rinaldi said. “You might come to a better solution.� Hamilton said it would cost $20 million for a fixed two-lane bridge on the

pend the process and have public consultation and find out how to fund a double lane bridge. “All the analysis should be public,� he said. He felt a Bailey bridge should be on standby in case it is needed. Michael Keith from Brighton asked if this issue is still open for discussion. Norlock said plans are under way but he is prepared to see if alternative arrangements can be made, keeping the money available. The money has to be spent by 2015 or they will have to wait another year.

Murray Canal. Martha Weaver from Barcovan area was very concerned with one lane. She said a lot of people will bypass the bridge if it takes too long. There are 15to 20-minute delays now. Dave Ware had a 72-page, 650-name petition from people not wanting a single-lane bridge. He asked Norlock if this area would still be in the new electoral riding. Norlock said Brighton will be part of his new riding and he is as committed to this riding as always. Dave Dingle said they should sus-

they decided on a fixed bridge it could cost $20 million. “We are already 75 per cent complete on the design,� he said. “We are set to replace the bridge in 2015.� Dave Dingle from the Murray Canal District Association said they were unaware of the information about the bridge. “It was not in the public domain,� he said. “We fear the impact a single lane bridge would have on the three municipalities.� Norlock said there was no secret about replacing the bridge. One resident, Mr. McMurray, said one lane was just not suitable for tourists, residents or businesses which would suffer. “You’ve no idea how many cars come across that bridge from June to September,� he said. Brenda DeMille from English Settlement Road, said she is a community health care worker and depends on getting across that bridge two or three times a day. “If you take it down to one lane, there will be some clients I can’t get to,� she said. “I will have to bypass somebody. It may be two hours before somebody gets the help they need.� Larry Alexander from Stoney Point said it is simply unacceptable. “It started out as a two lane bridge in 1880,� he pointed out. Doug Hall said the presentation was extremely slanted. He said Parks Canada needs to build a two-lane bridge and “do it right.� Greg Ashton asked about population growth studies, saying they should be part of the presentation. “Over the next twenty years a single-lane bridge won’t cut it,� he said. “They’ll have to do it all over again.� Mark Rinaldi from Brighton said information on the web site left out the fact that this will be a single-lane bridge. Jewel Cunningham said that was not intentional. Rinaldi asked how they could spend $300,000 and not tell anyone it was to be a single lane. Cunningham said it was their intent to work

McKesson Canada looking for a few good men and women By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - McKesson Canada is looking to hire 60 people to start work soon at its pharmaceutical products plant on Hamilton Road. Manager Bryan Asher said the 500,000-square-foot building is the biggest site of its operation in Canada and McKesson will have at least 100 people working three shifts 24/7. “Thirty of those people have already been transferred over from the former Sidney Street McKesson centre,” he said. The company distributes 35,000 products to hospitals and pharmacies. “We have a very advanced distribution system,” Asher noted, in a talk with Mayor John Williams. He took Williams on a tour of the plant and Williams was very impressed with the sheer size of it. “I was blown away,” he said with a laugh. “The state-of-theart system is unbelievable.” Williams said the company will be here for years and years, a great addition to the city. Asher commented, “We have a great team of employees. We want to hire 60 more for a total of 100 new jobs. They should be ambitious, willing to work hard and be part of the team.” He said workers will be involved in material handling, power equipment, forklifts and cross-training. He said the wages

Jazz Ensemble travels to Boston

Entertainment - Trenton - The Senior Jazz Band at St. Paul Catholic School just got back from competing in the Worldstrides Heritage Music Festival in Boston, Massachusetts. The band has been working hard all year to prepare for this international festival and has performed five concerts in Trenton as fund raisers. In the competition, the band received a Bronze ranking, and a second-place finishing in their “A” category. After their performance, the band took part in an ensemble clinic on stage with a reputable adjudicator. St. Paul’s Music Director, Mr. Phil Carney, is extremely pleased with the entire experience. “All of the students’ hard work throughout the year is the reason for their success. They have learned first hand, the results of dedication, and hard work.” Aside from the festival itself, students had a great opportunity to tour Boston, and see some great shows including an exceptional performance from the Boston Symphony Orchestra, at the world renowned, Symphony Hall.

They also saw the Blue Man Group, and took in many of the sights including a tour of Harvard University. The band looks forward to more excitement and travel in the years to come; they are already

talking about the possibility of New Orleans in two years. There are a few more performances at St. Paul this year, so stay tuned! Visit <www. stpaultrenton.ca> for the next upcoming school events.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Donetsk is not Sarajevo

Gwynne Dyer

Editorial - With due apologies to God, Voltaire and the Ukrainians, I must point out that if Ukraine did not exist, it would not be necessary to invent it. It is not a great power, it has no resources the world cannot do without, and it is not a “vital strategic interest” to anybody except the Ukrainians themselves. Not even to the Russians, although they are acting at the moment as though it were.

Bosnia was nobody’s vital strategic interest either. It isn’t now, and it wasn’t a hundred years ago. But Bismarck warned in 1898 that if there was ever another major war in Europe, it would come out of “some damned silly thing in the Balkans,” and an assassination in Sarajevo in 1914 fulfilled his prophecy to the letter. Some things have changed since then, however. The next world war will not come out of Ukraine (which is only slightly north-east of the Balkans) no matter what happens in the next few weeks and months. Russia might invade Ukraine, there might even be a new Cold War for a while, but there will be no fighting in Europe beyond Ukraine’s borders. Indeed, apart from the Balkans there has been no full-scale war in Europe for the past 69 years, and there was never the slightest risk that the fighting in the 1990s would spread beyond the borders of former Yugoslavia. Indeed, there was probably never a single day during the 45 years of the Cold War when either side seriously considered attacking the other. The reason was simple: they knew what would happen next, even if neither side used the thousands of nuclear weapons at its disposal. Twice in thirty years, in 1914-18 and 1939-45, a major war using modern weapons had been fought over almost all of Europe’s territory. On the first occasion, they lost a generation of young men. The second time, most countries from Germany eastwards lost around ten percent of their populations and most of the casualties that time were civilians. Half of the continent’s

great historic cities were reduced to ruins even without the help of nuclear weapons. It was a very expensive education, but the Europeans did finally learn their lesson: don’t do this any more. That is why, even as Russian tanks drive right up to Ukraine’s eastern borders and the Ukrainian army prepares to die in a fight it knows it would lose, nobody else in Europe is getting ready for war. If the Russians want part or all of Ukraine, they can have it and pay the long-term price for taking it, which would be very high. But nothing in Europe is worth blowing all of Europe up for. Do not be alarmed by the fact that troops and planes from as far away as the United States and Canada are currently being sent to NATO countries that have borders with Russia. The numbers are militarily insignificant. Their purpose is simply to remind the Russians that the alliance will protect its own members should Moscow ever decide that it has also a right to “protect” Russian-speakers in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. Moscow does not actually need to be reminded of that. It has seized Crimea, and is toying with the idea of seizing more of Ukraine, precisely because that country does not fall under the NATO umbrella. And it does not belong to NATO because NATO didn’t want to take military responsibility for its defence. The collapse of the status quo is partly the European Union’s fault, for demanding that Ukraine choose between closer trade and travel ties with the EU and full membership in Russia’s proposed “Eurasian Union”. It is even more the fault of Moscow: President Vladimir Putin has been both emotional and opportunistic. He’s scaring people, which is never a good idea. But if he does take more or even all of Ukraine, the West will not fight him. It will just take in all the Ukrainian refugees, strengthen its eastern defences, and begin the slow process of bringing down Putin by crippling the Russian economy. That would take years, but nobody would forget about Ukraine. It is a UN member, and even China has stopped supporting the Russian position. Remember East Timor.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Hands off my right to vote Mr. Harper

Dear Editor Nothing is more fundamental to democracy than the right to vote. It is cherished in democracies and envied in dictatorships. Today’s newspapers are filled with stories about pro-democracy protests in Ukraine, Egypt, Venezuela and Afghanistan. Similarly, the history books are brimming with stories of disenfranchised people being imprisoned, persecuted, and killed because of their desire to cast a ballot. Throughout history, dictators feared nothing more than the right to vote. It was for this reason, Abraham Lincoln famously remarked, “the ballot is stronger than the bullet.” Internationally, Canada has been a tireless champion of the right to vote. Thousands of Canadians died on the cliffs of Dieppe; in the deserts of Kandahar; on the beaches of Normandy; and in the valleys of Kapyong in defense of it. They died so millions could vote and be freed from fascism, communism and totalitarianism. Domestically, the right to vote expanded throughout the 20th century. Suffrage was extended to women in 1921; to Asian Canadians in 1947 and 1948; to First Nations/Aboriginal Canadians in 1960; to the mentally ill in 1988; and to the incarcerated in 2002.The right to vote is so fundamental; governments of all political strips have sought to insulate it from political interference. Prime Minister Mackenzie introduced the secret ballot in 1874. Prime Minister Borden created Elec-

tions Canada in 1920. Prime Minister Trudeau enshrined the right to vote in the Charter (1982). Prime Minister Chretien passed campaign finance reform in 2000. Stephen Harper’s contribution to history? Unlike his predecessors, Prime Minister Harper is trying to turn the clocks back. His government is trying to pass legislation (Bill C-23), which could prevent 520,000 Canadians from voting in the next election. First Nations/Aboriginal Canadians, university students, senior citizens and low-income individuals will all be affected. Bill C-23 will eliminate the process of “vouching”, eliminate voter identification cards, and eliminate the Chief Electoral Officer’s ability to promote voting. The government is trying to rush this anti-democratic bill through Parliament as fast as possible. They have ignored petitions, refused to consult voters, rejected expert testimony, and limited debate. Stephen Harper will go down in the history books as the prime minister who tried to roll back the right to vote. I hope our generation (like Nellie McClung, Rosa Parks, and Nelson Mandela) will go down as the generation that stopped him. Prime Minister Harper: keep your hands off my right to vote.

It’s almost impossible to get away from it all By Terry Bush Editorial - The older I get, the more I start to sound like that old guy who lived a couple of doors down when we were kids. That would be the guy who used to yell at us when we walked on the side of the road past his house because he’d planted grass on the shoulder right up to the pavement. He was the guy who used to wash his driveway every other day on the days he didn’t wash his car. He was the guy who never smiled at the neighbourhood kids when we said hello. He was also the guy who constantly filled up his birdbath because the water mysteriously turned yellow. And he was the guy who often heard explosions in his basement stairwell on Hallowe’en. I don’t want to be that grumpy guy. But I’m afraid I’m heading that way. When I hear the name John Baird, I grimace wondering what he’s done now. He’s been doing a bit of travelling lately holding “a warm and productive meeting” in Cairo with Egypt’s Minister of Foreign Affairs. At least that’s what the Canadian Foreign Affairs website says. Why he’s providing legitimacy to the current government of Egypt is anybody’s guess considering it overthrew the elected government in a bloody coup. According to a quote from Baird in the Toronto Star, Canada wants to “effectively assist Egypt at this critical juncture.” I’m not quite sure what Canada wants to assist Egypt with. It can’t be democracy. Maybe it’s the upcoming election, which is already a foregone conclusion. The coup leader el-Sisi will definitely be the next president. Maybe it’s the release of prisoners held without charge including Canadian citizens. Then again it could be something entirely different. Earlier this week another 683 protesters of the coup were sentenced to death including the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood. Last month 529 protesters were sentenced to death. Another 920 protesters are about to be tried in another mass trial. It certainly doesn’t pay to protest the overthrow of a government in Egypt. As a Canadian, I don’t think we should even be talking to a country like this let alone assisting them in any way. If you want to sanction a country, this would be the one. But John Baird isn’t the only one in government to get my goat lately. When I read today that Parks Canada is planning to install Wi-Fi Internet hotspots in up to 50 park locations this year, I could only manage a “What the hell?” Mind you, I’d just driven home from work and saw five people talking away on their cell phones while driving so maybe that set me off. To my way of thinking, heading off to the wilderness is the best way EDITORIAL Editor Terry Bush, 613-966-2034, ext 510 tbush@metroland.com Belleville News Steve Jessel sjessel@theemc.ca Quinte West News Kate Everson kate.everson@gmail.com PRODUCTION Glenda Pressick, 613-966-2034, ext 520 gpressick@theemc.ca

to get away from the many devices that clutter everyone’s lives today. Recently we went to an anniversary celebration and when the lights were dimmed for dancing, it got quite spooky in the hall. As my wife and I looked around the room, we saw an eerie glow emanating from the faces of almost every person under 25. They were having conversations with each other we’re sure, but for some unknown reason, talking to one another seemed to take a backseat to texting one another. I’ve seen it before in the middle of a seminar at our head office. While the rest of us were listening to the speaker, two people from the same newspaper office were busy texting and laughing at the texts they were sending one another. Once upon a time that may have been considered rude. So now, Parks Canada wants to bring Internet access to 150 locations over the next three years. This all sounds quite dangerous to me. People have enough trouble trying to avoid walking into stop signs on city streets while texting without giving them the ability to watch television while paddling or hiking in some remote area. Heaven forbid you have to respond to an email. “Sorry, I’ll get back to you in a minute or two. There seems to be a grizzly bear in front of me and a cub behind me. I’ll email you back in a jiffy.” Some will say it makes going to the wilderness safer. To that I say, if you want to be safe, stay home. The unpredictability of rough camping is what makes heading to the backcountry exciting. Luckily, I’m not alone in my displeasure. A quick perusal of the comments section for this Toronto Star story yielded these gems. “I am embarrassed to be a human today. This is an unconsciously stupid idea. Spend money on improving campsites and protecting wildlife not attracting morons to parks who can’t go a weekend without the Internet.” “Please don’t! The whole reason I spend time interior camping is to get away from all this crap! If you suffer from potentially life threatening medical conditions and insist on camping. Get the SPOT! Leave the wilderness free of electronic pollution!” “What a waste, doesn’t Parks Canada have better things to worry about? Like protecting nature?” “Does a bear tweet in the woods? As long as the towers blend into the landscape, this is a great idea. It is one thing to live the wilderness experience (everyone should try it) but it is quite another to die due to lack of experience or ability to call for help.” “As long as the towers blend into the landscape?” To this guy I say, “Get off my lawn, you rotten kid.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

A bridge too far out constantly cautioned that any delay may lead to unsafe conditions on the present bridge and, horror of horrors, if we don’t use the money soon we may lose it. When we protested that we were not aware of the project until just now, our local MP said, “of course you did . . . I signed off on the press release.â€? Anyway, he tried to convince us that although they were replacing our twolane bridge with a one lane bridge and trafďŹ c lights, they were replacing the bridge in kind. “It’s exactly the same size as you already have,â€? he said. “Unfortunately the code has changed over the years and now the bridge is not wide enough for two lanes.â€? That of course brought out a lot of not so nice comments from the audience, and the MP, used to being nothing more than a bobble-head doll sitting and smiling behind the members of the front bench in the House of Commons became haughty and the meeting deteriorated from that point on. After deigning to listen to a number of questions and promising to give them some thought, the meeting came to an end and they headed back to bubble city. And we were left wondering what is really going to happen with our bridge. One last thought. I didn’t know that P.T. Barnum was a politician. Bob Larocque, Brighton

News – Stirling – Police have laid cocaine trafďŹ cking charges against four people, including two Stirling men, following the execution of a search warrant at a West Front Street apartment last week. According to a statement issued by the Stirling-Rawdon Police, the service received information that illegal drugs were being kept at the location. With the assistance of the OPP Organized Crime Enforcement Bureau-Drug Enforcement Unit, the OPP Emergency Response

Team, and an OPP canine unit, a search warrant was executed at the residence and a quantity of cocaine and marijuana was seized. Four males have been charged and were ordered to appear in Belleville court on June 3, 2014. They include a 23-yearold and a 19-year-old from Stirling as well as a 19-year-old and a 17-year-old from Toronto. Two of those charged also face counts of possession of property (under $5,000) obtained by crime.

Dear Editor, “There’s a sucker born every minute.â€? P.T. Barnum I went to the meeting on replacing the bridge over the Murray Canal the other night. The meeting was called by our local Member of Parliament backed up by two senior silly servants. All sounded like graduates of the P.T. Barnum School of Economics. It sounded like these three people had escaped from the Ottawa bubble and came here to mouth speaking notes written by the boys in short pants in the party’s back rooms. First let me explain the Ottawa bubble. The city of Ottawa is surrounded by a green belt. It’s my opinion that this green belt sucks a lot of the oxygen out of the atmosphere causing people who live and work in Ottawa not to think rationally. (I know. I have in-laws living there.) The lack of oxygen causes a lot of dead brain cells and these dead brain cells rise up and form an invisible ďŹ lm over the city. Anyway, these three people were given a day pass to come to our fair city and to tell me and about 200 other people at City Hall what they were going to allow us to have for a bridge over the Murray Canal. Much money has already been spent on the processing of their plan, and they want to start letting contracts in the next eight weeks, so we better do as they say. We were

York, Riversong by Beck, How Can I Keep from Singing, and the soulmusic style I’ll Tell It Wherever I Go. The free will offering will be earmarked for various charities including the Open Door CafÊ and the Alinambi Orphanage in Quito, Ecuador. Refreshments will be served following the concert.

Lange & Fetter Ford grand re-opening a celebration three generations in the making

From left, Aaron Lange with his baby son Elijay, Mike Herniak, John Fetter, Rick Lange and Stephanie Lange celebrate the dealership’s receiving of the Golden Shovel Award.

Staff, friends and family of Lange & Fetter Motors, including Quinte West Mayor John Williams (with the scissors), cut a ribbon to mark the opening of the dealership’s new headquarters.

Members of the Lange & Fetter Motors Ford dealership cut a blue ribbon to celebrate the opening of their new location on Wednesday, April 23 in front of a packed house of friends, family members and local dignitaries. It was a celebration of cars, customers, and the dealership’s deep-rooted commitment to the Trenton community. Lange & Fetter first opened at 52 Dundas St. E., just east of the downtown bridge, in 1953 as a Ford dealership, and has stayed at its current location ever since. The construction of its new facility, which includes a bright and spacious showroom as well as lowered living-room-like sales offices, allows it to continue doing business at 52 Dundas St. E. and be part of the municipality’s efforts to grow business downtown. The new headquarters is actually the third building for the dealership. Originally, cars were sold from a small building that also served as a gas station. A new showroom was constructed in 1970 to better serve the growing business. Plans for the current building began a couple years ago and construction was completed this winter, not long before Wednesday’s grand re-opening. Interestingly, the family that runs the business is also into a third generation. The dealership was founded by the late Vagn Lange and John Fetter. It’s now owned by Vagn’s son Rick Lange. And Rick’s daughter, Stephanie Lange, is now the sales director. Fetter left the business in the mid 1970s, but the Lange family decided to keep his name on the title as a lasting tribute to his work. The families remain friends and John Fetter, now at age 92, attended the grand re-opening to reminisce with old friends and celebrate the dealership’s success. “It’s beautiful,” Fetter said of the new facility after walking around the showroom and looking at old photographs. “It’s a far cry from what we had.” Rick Lange said he’s proud of the new facility and the fact that the businesses has been able to stay in the same location for more than 60 years. “The location is an excellent location,” he said, noting that it’s easily visible to downtown drivers. “Historically, this is where it started and I was happy to keep it here. I can’t think of a reason to bring it out of downtown. Our customers know where we are.” Lange believes part of the reason why the business has lasted is because customers appreciate buying cars from a family-run operation that can offer consistent staff. The dealership employees about 35 workers, including people in sales and service and many of them have been with the dealership for several years. When asked what the secret to success is, Lange gave a frank and honest answer. “I don’t think there’s any magic; it’s just been a matter of trying to stay current and offering quality service,” he said, noting that the service does not stop once the customer buys a car. The staff and service team work to ensure they get the most out of their vehicle. The fact that the dealership sells quality vehicles, helps, too. Lange said he’s also proud of the fact that the dealership has remained with Ford all this time, noting the auto company’s innovation and ability to always turn out new products. In a speech as part of the grand re-opening celebration, Mike Herniak, Ford’s general manager for Eastern Market, pointed out that Ford has been the top selling automobile brand in Canada for the past four years. One of its signature products, the F150 pick up truck, continues to be a top seller, but the company expects to put out several new models over the next year. This success, Herniak said, is thanks to customers and dealership owners and staff members, such as those at Lange & Fetter Motors, who are committed to the products. “The thing that differentiates us from others is that we’re still a family run company,” Herniak said. When Rick Lange spoke at the podium, he thanked his staff, customers, and municipal officials who worked with them on the redevelopment of, not only the lot, but the stretch of Dundas Street East. It was repaved and widened recently to make room for the new dealership and other businesses. “I hope we’re here for another 60 years,” he said.

“I don’t think there’s any magic; it’s just been a matter of trying to stay current and offering quality service.”

Christian School celebrates Spring Arts Festival By Kate Everson

News - Trenton - Trenton Christian School at 340 Dug Hill Road is swinging into spring! Children of all ages have shown their artistic side in a Spring Arts Festival held on April 24. “We have art, music, speeches, poetry, creative displays and baked goods for a school trip,� says administrative assistant Heather Rathbun. “It all shows off the talents of our students.� The Robotics Club had a disBrooklyn and Cheyenne Smit enjoy a huge mural of the Lawren Harris painting titled Northern play called Nature’s Fury, about blizzards and ice storms.

Photo: Kate Everson phone wires could help prevent ice along the lines,� explained Mitchell Stoffers, Grade 7 student. “If it gets too heavy it would send a signal to warm up the wires.�

They also invented a robot called Tim and had a table describing their inventions. The seven students in the project headed by coach Joe Loosemore include Adam Loosemore, Marina Wolters, Abi Le Conte, Mitchell Stoffers, Brad Hoftyzer, Frank Vreugdenhil and Austin Schmoll. In the library was a display of various native groups, put together by Grade 3 students with typical artefacts which would have been used by the Haida, Mi’Kmaq, Huron, Sioux, Cree, Inuit, Ojibwa and Iroquois first nations. Mikayla Westerman said her brother, Evan, participated in the Cree display which included a paddle for canoeing. Inside the gymnasium, chairs were set up for listening to the

band concert as well as duets and solo performers. Along the walls art and sculpture were displayed by all grades. Brooklyn and Cheyenne Smit especially enjoyed the huge mural reproduction of a Lawren Harris painting, Northern Lake, made by the Grade 1 and 2 students. Further along were paintings reproducing, or in the style of, Emily Carr. Art and poetry from the Grade 6 class was on the tables (Onomatopeia - Boom bang crash the trash is on the grass!) for all to enjoy, and there were sculptures by Grade 7 and art by Grade 8. A table with delectable homemade treats was available to help pay for a Grade 7 school trip.

News - Quinte West - Outgoing Honorary Colonel Maureen Piercy, president of Loyalist College, has been replaced by local businessman Bernie Ouellet. The Change of Command ceremony was held at 8 Air Communication and Control Squadron (8 ACCS) on April 25. “We are very proud of our unique culture and history,” said 8 ACCS Commanding Officer Major Jeff Szumlanksi. He said the squadron celebrates its 45th anniversary this year. The primary role of the team has been to provide air transportable navigational aids, tactical communications, landing aids facilities and air traffic control support in worldwide operations. He noted there have been 246 Canadians named as honorary colonels since 1970 to help foster “esprit de corps” and build relationships between the base and its communities. He was proud to say that 14 of these were women, some as well known as Roberta Bondar and

Cavity Free or Life? F

As you can see, all three keys must be present at the same time in order to get cavities. If you can control any one of these keys, you could be cavity free for life.

By Steve Jessel

Bacteria Control

In previous issues, the topic of discussion has been tooth decay and its causes. We also described three key components to the process of tooth decay. The first of these keys is cavity-causing bacteria and the second key is sugar. We have learned that if you feed the cavity-causing bacteria with sugar, they will eat the sugar and release lactic acid, which will create holes. These holes are what we call cavities.

These bacteria tend to function poorly under Now let’s talk about the third alkaline conditions which and final key. can be achieved with mouth Third Key – Plaque RINSES LIKE #ARI FREE Plaque is the buildup of bacteria mixed with a number of substances that are attached to the tooth surface. Think of the plaque as a housing complex for the cavitycausing bacteria. In order for these cavity-causing bacteria to create holes in our teeth, they must stay close enough to the tooth surface to cause damage. To accomplish this, bacteria work together to form housings that allows them to remain in close proximity to teeth. We call these complexes plaque.

This will allow other non-cavity causing bacteria to grow first so that there won’t be enough room for the bad bacteria to sneak in.

News – Belleville – The Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board (HPEDSB) joined school boards across the country Monday night by endorsing the Charter of Commitment on First Nation, Metis and Inuit education, and director of education Mandy SaveryWhiteway said it’s an important step forward. “I think it’s really important, that as you look provincially and you see that the Ontario Public School Board Association has endorsed it, that our trustees recognize that they wanted that support that effort,� she said. “In our board we have always honoured the wonderful heritage we have in this region, we are privileged to work with the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte, and we wanted to make sure we publicly endorsed this charter.� Adopted by the OPSBA in November of 2013, the Charter of Commitment on

First Nation, Metis and Inuit education puts forward a strengths-based set of values to promote success in First Nation, MĂŠtis and Inuit education. The intent of the charter is for school boards to show their support for First Nation, MĂŠtis and Inuit knowledge systems and learning models, the central value of culture, language and knowledge of history in contributing to the well-being of First Nation, MĂŠtis and Inuit students, families and communities, and a holistic approach that addresses spiritual, emotional, physical and intellectual development in relation to one’s self, family, community and environment. “We have a significant population within our board [of students that identify as First Nation, Metis or Inuit] and I want to stress that would be right through the district,â€? Savery-Whiteway said. “We also have a self-identification process to allow students to come forward and let us know how we can support them... that’s part of our practice and has been for a very long time.â€? The Charter details a number of ways to promote First Nation, Metis and Inuit education, including fostering initiatives that provide students with positive transition experiences in moving from First Nation communities to provincially funded schools, actively identifying opportunities to integrate First Nation, MĂŠtis and Inuit histories, cultures and perspectives in delivery of curriculum in the classroom, and consulting with Elders and other First Nation, MĂŠtis and Inuit experts in traditional knowledge, cultures, and histories to bring relevant local perspectives to instruction planning. “We will continue all of our efforts that we have underway in the board, through our board approval plan for student achievement, through our whole school approaches, we’ll just continue the work we do and we’re always looking for that opportunity to be better at what we’re doing,â€? Savery-Whiteway said.

Pull for Kids is back By Steve Jessel

News - Belleville -The Ontario Lung Association’s annual Pull For Kids fund-raising event is back for its tenth year this June, and with the event falling on the Father’s Day weekend this year local Lung Association special events co-ordinator Lola McMurter said it’s a perfect opportunity for some local men to prove just how manly they really are. “It’s on Fathers Day weekend so we’d like to see some men’s teams take part; dads with muscles get out there!” McMurter said with a laugh. Taking place this year on June 14 in the parking lot of the Belleville Best Buy location off of Bell Boulevard, Pull for Kids sees teams of eight, ten or 12 participants pull a 13-ton charter bus a total of 100 feet as quickly as they can. Reigning champions “The Property Guys” performed the feat in just 13.72 seconds last year to narrowly edge out a team from the Belleville Police Service for first prize, and with the championship team returning again

this year competition is likely to be stiff at the fun and family friendly event. “We need some strong muscles out there to try and upset the champions this year,” McMurter confirmed. The event saw ten teams participate to raise over $10,000 last year, a total McMurter said they’d like to match or exceed this year. Funds raised go toward Lung Association programs that benefit children living with asthma. “Pull for Kids has always been about the kids; it’s an asthma awareness fund raiser, specifically for children with asthma in the Quinte region,” McMurter said. “It’s people with healthy lungs pulling for kids without them.” Teams of both men and women are welcome at the event, and McMurter said several businesses also took part last year, including a team from the local health services appropriately named the “Pulling Puffers.” Teams are encouraged to dress in costumes or team uniforms for the event, and spectators are welcome. Registration for the event is $100

per team. Teams may contain men, women or a mixture of both: women’s teams can have up to 12 team members, men’s teams eight, and mixed teams can have up to ten members, including at least four female teammates. Participants are also encouraged to raise individual pledges from friends, family and neighbours in the weeks leading up to the event to help contribute to the fund-raising total. Lunch is provided for participants. “It’s a fun event, and it’s a team building event for businesses as well,” McMurter said. “And it doesn’t have to be a business, it can be a family team, friends, it can be anybody.” For more information, or to register, visit the web site at <www.on.lung.ca> and navigate to the “Events” section. Team captains can also call McMurter at 613-969-0323 to find out more. The Annual Pull for Kids fund-raising event charges teams to pull a 13-ton charter bus, like this team from Lowe’s in 2013.

Trash Bash Collection

Business “picking up” at trash bash

News - Batawa - The community of Batawa kicked off its annual Trash Bash cleanup on Saturday, April 26. “We like to keep Batawa looking beautiful all year long and to work together as a community,” said Heather Candler, general manager of the Batawa Development Corporation (BDC). “Getting together as a community to clean things up even for one day makes a huge difference. You know the old adage: many hands make light work.” Volunteers Sue Kane and Pat Mulligan got involved because “we walk this trail every day with our dog. We want to keep The Quinte West Youth Centre participated in a cleanup around its property to help the Trash Bash collection during the week. it clean so that everyone can enjoy it.” Taylor Shultz, a young Batawa From the left are Evert Fledderus, Jordan Keele, Michael Houle, Ben Frans, Matthew Harding, Satara Lazier, Ivy Arnold-Truscotte resident who helped as part of the big and social worker Lindsay Wilson from Loyalist College.

for the recycling.” Volunteers were given a complimentary barbecue lunch for their efforts, as well as the chance to win in a prize draw. “We want to reward the hard work of our volunteers and thank the community for working together,” said Candler, “so the BDC held a prize draw with $400 in prizes from the Quinte Mall, College Sports, Canadian Tire, and the Garden Network.” This year’s winners were the Rochester family, Karen Williams, Shannon Briscoe, and Bill Grey. In the three-hour event, 196 bags of trash were collected by the corps of volunteers. That rivals the efforts of many of the region’s larger municipalities. “For a small community of only a 110 households,

Batawa has proven again and again that it can punch above its weight in community involvement. The Trash Bash is one of many events that demonstrate that every year and this year was no different,” said Candler. Batawa is a town steeped in history. It remembers how Canada welcomed the Bata Shoe Factory and its first workers in 1939. Many of those first factory employees, and Batawa residents, came to this country from Czechoslovakia to start a new life in Canada. The majority became Canadian citizens and continued to improve their home by building a school, bank, and clearing the way for the Batawa Ski Club. The close community spirit forged during those years is vibrant through to today.

Sports – Quinte West – A unique hockey tournament fundraiser hosted at CFB Trenton earlier this month raised more than $6,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS), and CCS Ontario division CEO Martin Kabat said events like the one at CFB Trenton allow the society to do its work in the community “It’s exciting just the idea of international effort to raise money in the fight against cancer,” he said Tuesday from the Belleville branch of the Canadian Cancer Society. “It’s what allows us to do our job, and if not for volunteers and third parties it would limit significantly the money we have for research and for supporting people with cancer.”

Controllers Against Cancer features air traffic controllers from military bases across North America squaring off in a one-weekend slate of games. Hosted at CFB Trenton this year from April 11-13, the event featured two local teams from the CFB Trenton ATC divison (Hulme’s Has-Beens and The Furball Failures) and also teams from as far as Quebec, North Bay, Ottawa and New York. The Hulme’s HasBeens team managed to claim top prize in the ribbon division, but The Furball Failures unfortunately lived up to their name when it came to hockey. “In true host fashion, we lost every game,” laughed Frobel. The tournament has been running for the past 13 years, raising more than $59,000 for cancer research.

The Good Earth:

Dan Clost

Lifestyles - Gentle Reader, we’ve had a few years now to come to terms with the cosmetic pesticides ban here in Ontario. It has been a steep re-learning curve for many of us: “re-learning” because we needed to go back to gardening the way we did when our parents taught us. However, as the season opens up, the questions that come our way at the garden centre show there is

LIFESTYLES

Re-learning how to garden, part one much to left learn...or unlearn. Let’s take a look at some of those areas. If you are not familiar with the basic gardening mantra of “Feed the Soil” then you are doomed to obey television advertising exhortations to feed the plant with whatever superduper fertiliser they are selling you. Applying fertiliser is a good thing, contrary to what you think the previous sentence said. The point, however, is that by feeding and sustaining the soil, you will need much less of the expensive fertiliser. Soil is not dirt; that is under the refrigerator or Dee’s carpet. Soil is a complicated environment that includes rock in various stages of decomposition, dead plants and animals (really small ones) in various stages of decomposition and many, many vital plants and animals living off the avails of the former. Add water and air to give you the total mix. This is a dynamic ecosystem with lots happening; nematodes lie in wait for passing grubs or go on a hunt for the

same, small fungus like organisms set up symbiotic relationships with plants, gigantic earthworms (relatively speaking) bore tunnels that provide pathways for water and air as well as effectively “ploughing”, and literally, thousands of other inter-active events that ultimately determine the ability of the soil to support plant life. Which, incidentally but very importantly, is necessary to sustain us. How do you feed the soil? Unless a plant bit is diseased, e.g. black knot on a plum tree, it should never leave your estate. Return it to the soil in the form of compost. Learn everything you can about composting and you will learn almost everything you need to know about feeding the soil. Learn about mycorrhiza (check this paper’s archives for previous columns). I am a big supporter of a product called Myke; check out the website. Do a soil test, which is really easy if you’re not afraid to read the instructions on the package. The results will tell you what

you need to add and, better yet, what you don’t need. The Perfect Lawn is not a fallacy, but its definition is open to interpretation. For me, the perfect lawn is one that invites you to walk or play on it. The idea of cultivating and manicuring a mono-culture masterpiece that is only looked at is both a waste of time and a denial of the relationship between humans and the good earth which sustains them. But that’s my opinion. Top-dress annually (adding organic matter, overseed annually (sowing grass seed), fertilise when needed and as needed (remember the soil test), water when needed and as needed, and mow when needed using properly set up equipment. If we didn’t like grass it would be labelled the most pernicious weed on the planet. So, if you cultivate favourable conditions, it will outperform any other “weed” you can think of. The last bit, for today, is the notion of “dirty trees.” These are ones that

produce annoying things called fruits that land on the lawn or sidewalks or laundry or the car roof and need to be cleaned up. In the olden days a dirty tree was one that had a lot of winter dieback- think Russian olive. Today, it seems to mean any shrub or tree, that mussies up the estate in a manner unwelcomed by its master. (I deliberately used “master” and not “steward.”) There are three problems with that perspective: 1.) you don’t get to see the beauty of the fruit; 2.) you don’t get to see the many animals feeding on the fruit; and 3.) you end up with mostly male plants that produce a lot of pollen. Just for fun, when you walk past the next yew give a branch a shake and look at the “dust.” There is a proven, direct correlation between our children and young adults experiencing breathing difficulties and male plants. Look for a future column(s) on this. Let’s get back to gardening, GR in a cultivated manner and we’ll all reap the benefits.

It’s tick season in Quinte

By Steve Jessel

News - Belleville - It’s tick season in the Quinte region, and Quinte Conservation and the local health unit are advising residents to take the proper steps to protect themselves from Lyme disease when headed outdoors during the spring and summer seasons. In the Quinte region, the black legged (or deer tick) is the most common type of tick, and they can be found almost anywhere that deer and

rodents are present. As blacklegged ticks feed exclusively on animal blood, wild animals serve as a transportation method for ticks, carrying them from property to property. Typically, a tick will wait on a leaf on in tall grass waiting for an animal (or human) to brush by, which is when the tick attaches itself and attempts to burrow inside the skin to feed. “It’s becoming a concern in our local area,” said Quinte Conservation communication

manager Jennifer May-Anderson. “They’re becoming more and more prevalent.” Recently, ticks were found in the Sidney Conservation area in Quinte West, meaning tick season is in full swing. Quinte Conservation is working with the Hastings and Prince Edward Health Unit to put up signs in areas where ticks are present. A total of 70 ticks were reported in Prince Edward County in 2013, and the health unit says they treated a total of 16 potential cases of Lyme disease that year, compared to just eight in 2012. Avoiding ticks is as simple as wearing long sleeved shirts and pants outdoors and using DEET-containing insect repellent. If bitten, attempt to remove the tick using tweezers while making sure to extract the head of the insect from inside the skin. Ticks tend to bite in more secluded areas of the body. Concerned homeowners are recommended to remove leaves and brush from their property, keep the area around birdfeeders clean and organized, discourage deer from entering their property and thoroughly check all pets for ticks, as they can easily latch onto fur or hair and enter the home. The main risk for humans of being bitten by a tick is the possibility of contracting Lyme disease. Not all ticks carry the disease, but those that do contract it from feeding on an infected animal sometime during its lifecycle. If the tick then feeds on a human afterwards, symptoms of Lyme disease may begin to show over the following 30 days, beginning with an expanding

Boyle stands up for local library By Richard Turtle

News - Stirling - Timmy Boyle has discovered a lot of humour in the world around him but since moving to Stirling in the fall of 2012 he has also discovered a strong sense of community as well. The stand-up comedian and founder of Up Standing Comedy has crossed Canada and toured the United States with his allages routines, recently settling in Stirling with his wife and three children. And since his arrival from Toronto, he says, he has

been made to feel completely at home. So when a local institution was threatened by recently announced municipal budget cuts, Boyle decided to take action. In his own funny sort of way. “I was at the [public] meeting after we heard about the cuts that were coming down,� says the frequent library user and ardent supporter, “and I wondered, ‘What I could do to help?’� And then it hit him. After a couple of quick meetings with Chief Librarian Sue

Canada Day funding added to list of cuts By Richard Turtle

News - Stirling - With budget preparations nearing completion, Stirling-Rawdon councillors made short work of a short agenda at the most recent regular meeting held in chambers last Tuesday, completing the regular business in less than half an hour. Mayor Rodney Cooney noted council is close to having the final budget ready, adding the municipality took “quite a hit� when an eight per cent reduction in provincial funding was announced. The percentage translates to more than $200,000, he says, with further cuts anticipated in future years. It was also announced recently that the Celebrate Canada Grant, received by the municipality in

previous years to help pay for Canada Day celebrations, had been denied this year. Council agreed to keep the party going, approving a recommendation by the Protection to Persons and Property Committee to proceed with plans and a budget of $7,500 with the intention of seeking alternative sponsors and donations to assist in offsetting costs. Councillors also agreed to post details of the Great Place Awards on the municipal web site prior to the close of nominations at the request of the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board. The awards are handed out annually to students, employees, community partners and volunteers who have made a positive difference. Nominations

of what he’s billing as The Show of the Year. “I think it’s a perfect community event. It’s local talent at the local theatre with a local cause,� he says. The show promising “classic stand-up comedy without the rude and crude,� will feature opening act James MacNeil, a comedian from Chatham, Ontario, as well as live pre-show music performed by Trentonbased Chatterbox. The performers are all offering their services for free, he says, noting that too reflects the sense of community

he has felt since his first weeks in the village. All tickets are $20 and available through the theatre box office. “To me it was a no-brainer,� he says of putting the show together in support of what he describes as “a solid community institution. “I go to the library all the time,� he notes, adding his family, including children ages 11 to 20, frequently use library services as well. And the show marks his second appearance in Stirling. “I’m pretty pumped about this,

actually,� Boyle says, noting, “we packed the house [at Stirling’s Community Pentecostal Church] last June, so that was great.� His performance there was given a standing ovation. So with a full evening of family entertainment planned for May 24, and the additional support of his fellow artists and sponsors including SFT, Fine Line Design, Up Standing Comedy and Arrisberg, he says, this will undoubtedly be a show for the ages. As Boyle points out, it’s already been named The Show of the Year.

Volunteers At their regular meeting last week, Brighton Council approved a five-year lease with two additional five-year terms for about 1,600 square feet, which houses the courtroom and offices along with an 825-square-foot holding cell in the basement at the municipal building on Alice Street.

Now, we finally have that.� The terms of payment were established by adding the Consumer Price Index for the prior five years and to the current agreement. From 2007 to 2011, the CPI increased by 9.5 per cent. The courtroom and offices are used are used 85 days per year and execution of the leases will increase the annual municipal revenue by $2,500.

Scouts pitch in to plant trees News - Belleville - Sullen, shower-threatening weather late Friday afternoon failed to dampen the spirits of dozens of Boy Scout participants as they carried out their annual tree planning project in co-operation with Quinte Conservation. The goal was to plant several hundred seedlings around a specially created wetlands pond just a few hundred metres north of the authority’s main office on Highway 2. In true Scout fashion, the job was accomplished by mem-

in a hands-on experience. Conservation authority ecologist Tim Trustham led the group to a small pond dug to deliberately create a wetland and encouraged planters with rubber boots to plant along the shallow rim and others to plant on the surrounding high ground. As the trees grow, they will provide cover and habitat for the area. Fry added that he still returns to areas he helped plant as a young lad and tries to find fully grown trees he planted himself.

Big numbers for Trash Bash

Spring concert

Entertainment - Belleville - A wide variety of local talent will be on display in Belleville’s Holy Trinity Lutheran Church on Thursday, May 1, at 7 p.m. Performers will include both instrumental and vocal soloists and ensembles, the church’s own choir and a community choir in an evening of music from soul and sacred to Broadway and classics. Guest performers will include Sophia King and Jack Moher who will play a selection from a Bach concerto for two violins, Amelia King with harp selections, and Braelyn Guppy with a Broadway song. (Both King and Guppy were major winners in the string and vocal classes respectively in the recent Quinte Rotary Music Festival.) Quinte Symphony violinist Joel Bootsma will perform Czardas by Monti and the Grills Family Ensemble will perform Teach Your Children to Sing. Kywin Grills and Holy Trinity Music Director Michael Faulkner will perform Give Me the Simple Life. Faulkner will also do a sacred solo, In Christ Alone. The community choir repertoire will include Mozart’s beloved Ave Verum Corpus, the hit song, New York, New York, Riversong by Beck, How Can I Keep from Singing, and the soul-music style I’ll Tell It Wherever I Go. The free will offering will be earmarked for various charities including the Open Door Café and the Alinambi Orphanage in Quito, Ecuador. Refreshments will be served following the concert.

ties volunteer numbers were boosted with a strong youth contingent that Zeitz-Morrish said was an encouraging sign. “We had a bigger youth component than we’ve ever had, even just with youth coming down to market square to pick up bags which we were really pleased to see,” she said. “It’s important to make it easy for them to be involved because they’re the ones that will carry this program through as the rest of us get older.” Students in the leadership class at Quinte Secondary School helped mobilize students across the school board to take part in the initiative this year, and Zeitz-Morrish said Harmony Public School in Belleville had the best turnout in terms of student participation. “Having the secondary schools and other schools involved is huge for us because we need to open everyone’s eyes to litter and trash in our

neighborhoods, and unfortunately it’s the areas along the school zones that seem to collect most of the garbage,” ZeitzMorrish said. “Litter is strewn across their pathways and walkways leading into some of these larger schools, and we really want to open eyes and say litter is a problem everywhere.” A number of area businesses also took part in the Business Challenge, with 10 volunteers from Batawa Lions Club collecting 84 bags, Trenton Cold Storage collecting 155 bags with 29 volunteers, the Ministry of Environment picking up 23 bags with seven volunteers, Free Flow Petroleum with 14 people and 30 bags, Loyalist College with 18 volunteers and (From left) Quinte Secondary School students Lindsay Cochrane, Makayla Howard, Elizabeth Drummond and Alexandra Putman 30 bags, Kellogg with 22 vol- took part in the Quinte Trash Bash Saturday, cleaning their school grounds.

News - Belleville - Organizers of the Quinte Trash Bash are celebrating their best year ever in 2014, and with even more trash to collect than in past years. City of Belleville green Co-ordinator Melanie ZeitzMorrish said she was thankful for such a strong turnout. “We have the same spots every year that we have some faithful volunteers go back to... across all the communities it seemed like there was more garbage than usual,” she said. “Some of the worst areas are the places that people drive by - Cannifton Road and North Front Street, and those areas still need some cleaning, volunteers couldn’t get it all. The industrial park is also atrocious every year.” In all, 1,432 volunteers across Belleville, Quinte West and Tyendinaga spent some time cleaning up their respective communities on Saturday as part of the annual initiative. In Belleville, 587 volunteers managed to collect enough trash to fill three 30-yard dumpsters; in Quinte West, 545 volunteers collected enough trash to fill an additional three 30-yard dumpsters, and in Tyendinaga 300 volunteers filled a 40-yard dumpster with collected trash.

Healthy Half Marathon beats the cold weather

News - Quinte West - It was a cold wind along the bay near city hall on Sunday morning but that didn’t stop 150 participants from coming out for the Healthy Half Marathon. “Our numbers are a little down from last year,” said organizer Colleen Vickers, “but it’s still a nice day. It’s not raining.” She said comments from the runners and walkers showed they didn’t mind the weather. “They say the route is the fastest, the flattest and the most scenic,” she said. The route follows the waterfront over roads and trails, looping back to city hall. There was a half marathon, a ten-kilometre, a five-kilometre and the Mayor’s Walk.

“This is our fifth year,” she added. “We raised over $50,000 in our first four years.” All the money goes to priority medical equipment through the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation. Kris Bonn and Dr. Robbie Iny ran the ten-kilometre together, cheered on by Kris’ family Cassandra, Grace, six, and Fraser, two. “Cassandra and I just ran the Boston Marathon last week,” Bonn said. “We did it in three hours and 37 minutes.” Bonn said the ten-kilometre run at city hall was not nearly as gruelling, and took just over 40 minutes, but he ran it as fast as he could which made it more interesting. He also paid 18 of his staff the fees to participate,

all for a good cause. Next week they are on to the Good Life Marathon in Toronto. “Last year we ran around the bay,” Bonn added. “I just turned 40 so it was a celebration. We also raised $9,000 to benefit the Children’s Treatment Centre in Belleville.” He noted that Iny’s son has benefited from the children’s treatment centre because he has cerebral palsy. Bonn said the Healthy Half Marathon is great for the community. “We love the course, the pavement and trail,” he said with a smile. Other participants were just as enthused about the opportunity to enjoy their sport and help the hospital.

Emma, three, and Madison, one, watched their father in the Half Marathon. Lisa Lueck said last year she ran with her husband Michael, with the children in the three-wheel stroller, but not this year. “We have one more on the way,” she said. “Maybe next year.” Robin Pilon had a lot of support too. “For the second year in a row, Trenton Rowing and Paddling Club supports the Quinte West Half Marathon to raise money for the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation by encouraging walkers and runners to participate with them,” she said. She had support from 436 Squadron CO Mark Goulden with his two sons and YMCA general manager Ron Riddell along with Marc Roy, Janet Parker, Angela and John Smylie. And her little dog took part too, running ahead on his leash as fast as his little legs would go. The Mayor’s Walk at the end of the other races included the mayor walking with three St. John Ambulance attendants close behind. Fortunately, they all returned Kris Bonn and Dr. Robbie Iny are off to a good start in the ten-kilometre. safely. Photo: Kate Everson

Campbellford to host provincial bantam softball championship By John Campbell

Sports – Campbellford – The town will get to host an Ontario Amateur Softball Association (OASA) provincial championship after all. Gary Torrance, manager of the bantam Campbellford Cougars, was turned down two years ago because the town has only ball ďŹ eld suitable for tournament play and the OASA requires two. Undaunted, he decided to apply once more late last year, to “give it a try to see what happensâ€? in case “they didn’t have anybodyâ€? lined up, he said. Recently he got word Campbellford would be the site of this year’s bantam championships Aug. 2-3, which means the Cougars, who won the provincial title last year, won’t have to leave home to defend their reign. The team will still have to ďŹ nish in the top eight at the elimination tournament July 11-13 when all the province’s bantam teams will gather at Toanche. Qualifying for the A championships and hosting them in Campbellford shouldn’t be a problem, said Torrance, who has his eyes set on the team ad-

vancing to the Canadian championships. Some of the games will be played at Stirling the ďŹ rst day of the tournament to accommodate the eight teams that will be in Campbellford for the provincial championship. Torrance’s son Rod is the coach of the Cougars, and he’s assisted by Brian Seymour and Craig Petherick. The team, sponsored by OPG, is largely the same one that started playing together as mites nine years ago and moved up through the ranks of squirt, peewee and then bantam. Five of the 12 players reside in Trent Hills, the others come from Tweed, Stirling, Centre Hastings and Belleville. The team of young teenagers play in the Stirling league against adults and do well against their older competition, ďŹ nishing tied for second last year.

and rising to the top for the President’s Cup were Skip Neil Harder, Vice Megan Bridger, Second Tyler Bridger, and Lead Mel Harder. In the foreveryoung category, the Thursday morning seniors, Skip Ben Clifton, Vice Doug Rutley, Second Doug Couture, and Lead Roberta (Robbi) Campbell earned the bling and bragging rights. The Curling for Dollars (Thursday night cash league) top payout went to the Jim Marshall rink. Last but not least in league curling, the Friday night mixed trophy went to the sugar-high team of Skip Sam Mifsud, Vice Carol White, Second Annette Bumstead, and lead Selena Town. The Little Rocks and Juniors don’t compete in a club league, but the team of Skip Zack Bernstein, Vice Malissa Whyte, Second Thomas Hubbard, and Lead Xavier Nickerson competed at the local, zone, and provincial levels. Although they didn’t win at the provincial level, they gained valuable bonspiel experience. They are the future of our club, and were recognized with the presentation of team jackets. Finally, the club’s Curler of the Year Cup is awarded to a club member for outstanding contribution to not only the sport of curling but also in support of the club. This year’s winner is Neil Harder, icemaker extraordinaire, draw master, jack-of-all-trades, and a tireless behind the scenes worker. He who rarely smiles and outwardly snarls, Neil can best be described in a quote from a Disney Grumpy mug: Beneath this grumpy exterior, beats the heart of a dashing hero. Congratulations on a well-deserved award. Until next year, thanks again to all the sponsors, businesses, and individuals who contributed to another successful curling season.

where a soldier sits writing false identity cards for the escape. As a former POW, Al Wallace, now 93, said it brought back memories. “They made us get out of the camp when they heard the Russians coming,â€? he said. “We slept in barns or outside. It was a tough time. There was a foot of snow. All we had was what we carried on our back or in a sleigh.â€? He said they were evacuated again when they heard the British army getting closer, forced to walk for days in the countryside. “I had a blanket, my gray coat, some food and cigarettes,â€? he said. “We all smoked.â€? Al says he lives in a condo on the 14th oor in Richmond Hill now. “It’s a lot more comfortable,â€? he says with a smile. “I enjoyed ying the Halifax,â€? he adds, looking up at the massive restored Halifax in the museum. “I did 15 and a half trips. I only count the last one as half because the plane went down.â€? Al says he was stationed in Yorkshire with 419 Moose Squadron. “The motors on the Halifax were Merlins,â€? he said, “made by Rolls Royce. They were the early ones. After that they made them better, more dependable.â€? He says all his former crew are gone now. Please see “Great Escapeâ€? page B8

News - Quinte West - When Al Wallace was only 23 years old, he had to endure 18 months in a prison camp in Germany. “We parachuted out of the Halifax,â€? he said, at the opening of the Great Escape display at the National Air Force Museum of Canada on April 24. “We had to. It was on ďŹ re.â€? He said ďŹ ve of the crew got out, but the pilot and wireless operator went down with the plane. The ďŹ ve were taken to prison camps. Al, who was the

mid upper gunner, and the bomb aimer, were taken to a separate camp for pilot ofďŹ cers. It was Stalag Luft-3. This is the stalag where the notorious Great Escape took place in 1944, when 76 Allied Prisoners of War (POW) dug through a tunnel and got out. Tragically, only three of them made it home, while 50 were executed and 23 were sent back to camp. The new display at the museum shows a life-like depiction on two levels, from a man tunnelling through the ground, up to a room (Hut 104) on the mezzanine

Paddlers ride the rapids during MACKfest Photos: Stephen Petrick

Justin Bouwman, a paddler from the Kitchener area, moves down an area of the Black River during MACKfest.

News - Marmora - The springtime roar of rapids on local rivers was even more colourful and exciting than normal this weekend. Dozens of paddlers took to Hastings County waterways April 26 and 27 to celebrate the Marmora Area Canoe and Kayak Festival (MACKfest), an annual April event to mark the start of the paddling season. The weather was chilly and the sky was grey, but the paddlers were enthusiastic to be on the fast-flowing rivers, many of which were roaring and filled with white-foam forming waterfalls. They took to the upper and lower Black River, Beaver Creek, Crowe River, the Moira River and Skootamatta River. All were well higher

for profit, but rather to boost the local tourism economy; something that’s not difficult to do considering the area is known as a paddling hotspot and paddlers from across Canada come to the area and stay at resorts frequently through the season. While calm summer paddling, has its

benefits, most paddlers find spring is the most exciting time to be on the water, Lawson added. And this spring, the season has started late, owing to the cold weather. “That’s why there’s such a buzz about this year,� she said. “People have been waiting to paddle.�

than normal after an abominable winter and a significant spring melt. “Most people cringe at flooding,� said Manny Lawson, a head organizer for the event, commenting on the recent area conditions. “We get excited.� Lawson is a member of the Kawartha Whitewater Paddlers, which launched the festival about eight years ago. It started out small and has grown significantly over the years, Lawson said. She was speaking at Bunkers Hideaway, a resort just outside Marmora, which hosted festival participants for an early morning get-together Saturday, before they headed to any of the several recommended courses. The paddlers also met there at the end of the day for dinner and evening entertainment. A few dozen had gathered at the resort early Saturday morning; some even camped outside in the crisp weather. Many of them, Lawson said, are members of paddling clubs elsewhere in the province. She said many of the participants were from locations such as Ottawa, Barrie and Kitchener. The event, she said, is not intended This kayaker grips his paddle hard to put on the brakes after moving down rapids on Black River.

64th Festival of Praise coming to a close

R0012575552

The choir from host St. Paul’s United Church let their voices be heard during the Stirling Festival of Sacred Praise. The Stars of The senior choir from St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stirling was among the entries performing last weekend at the 64th the Festival concert, featuring some of the top performers, is scheduled for May 9 at 7 p.m. Annual Stirling Festival of Sacred Praise. The festival, held at St. Paul’s United Church and the Stirling Festival Theatre, wraps up Friday. By Richard Turtle

News - Stirling - Now celebrating its 64th year, the twoweek-long Stirling Festival of Sacred Praise is coming to a close tomorrow after singers, musicians and orators of all ages and experience levels performed for audiences and professional adjudicators in various classes. Held under the auspices of the official board of St. Paul’s United Church and the Stirling Festival Committee, the annual festival continues to promote a love of sacred praise while maintaining a strong focus on encouraging the continued participation of boys, girls and young people, says committee president Donna Russett. Vocal, instrumental and scripture classes are presented at both St. Paul’s and the Stirling Festival Theatre as part of the regional competition with top finishers eligible to proceed to the provincial level. But, notes Russett, the spirit of the event is as much

about encouraging learning and personal growth in each of the individual participants as it is about providing opportunities for further competition. Professional adjudicators offer valuable feedback as well as tips and ideas to improve presentations, she says, adding it’s not only the seasoned performers who benefit. And many participants who begin as youngsters return year after year. As well, Russett says, the festival has been very fortunate to have such well-qualified judges providing both encouragement and advice. And this year, she says, is no different. Adjudicators at the 64th Annual festival include Oshawa-based opera singer Kristine Dandavino overseeing vocal classes, Ottawa-born cellist Samuel Bisson adjudicating string instruments, bands, brass and woodwinds, Toronto/ Hamilton pianist David Story providing insights for participants in piano classes and

scripture adjudicator the Reverend Barbara Willard. The festival regularly draws participants from Peterborough, Belleville and Napanee as well as from the immediate area and over the years Russett has seen thousands of singers and musicians perform. And each year Russett remains impressed by the calibre of talent shown by the many groups and individuals who take to the stage. This year’s edition of the annual competition opened last Tuesday morning (April 22) with piano classes, followed by scripture and vocal classes later in the week. Band and string classes run tomorrow to close out the festival. Russett, who was one of the young participants in the first Stirling Festival of Sacred Praise more than 60 years ago, is currently marking her tenth year as committee president. And while her involvement was lessened during the raising of her own family, she says, she has always been a strong supporter of the annual event. The official festival is expected to close at about 9 p.m. tomorrow with the Stars of the Festival concert scheduled for Friday, May 9, at 7 p.m. at St. Paul’s. The Stars concert is a regular feature of the festival and is also open to the public. Presented after the final adjudications, the celebratory concert offers a restaging of some of the top performances. Admission to the Stars concert is $3 for adults and 50 cents for children. Full details are available on the Internet at stirlingfestival.com.

Beware of emerald ash borer News - Belleville - Quinte Conservation will be warning local municipalities about the dangers of the emerald ash borer. The decision was made at last week’s board meeting. Communications Manager Jennifer May-Anderson says, “The Quinte Conservation watersheds are now in the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s Emerald Ash Borer regulated area. We could see an infestation within the next five to ten years. Developing an emerald ash borer management plan is essential to maintaining tree cover within built-up areas and minimizing associated costs of the infestation.” May-Anderson adds, “Our board wants to inform our municipalities about the risks of an emerald ash borer infestation so they can create a plan to address this serious issue that makes the most sense for each of them.” There are many ash trees along municipal streets, in municipal parks and green spaces within cities, towns and villages in the Quinte Conservation watersheds.

TRAVEL

Touring the fascinating tunnels of Moose Jaw

The entrance to the Tunnels of Moose Jaw tours.

A Moose Jaw motel is linked to Al Capone.

In Moose Jaw, you’ll be greeted by a Snowbird plane and Mac the Moose.

Lifestyles - In the early days of the 20th century, the majority of the large buildings in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, were being heated by steam. Therefore, it was decided to create a network of tunnels linking these buildings together so that equipment and supplies could easily be moved from building to building without having to almost freeze to death outside during the harsh prairie winter. At about that same time, many Chinese immigrants had begun to arrive in Moose Jaw, where they worked for very low wages. In order to survive, many of these immigrants adopted the tunnel system as both their living quarters and workplaces. Sadly, many of these men were simply working on the tunnels themselves or in underground sweatshops (laundries, burlap factories, etc.), trying to survive -and hoping to save enough money to eventually be joined in Canada by their family members. They were often not treated well at all, merely being used as cheap labour. Those days are gone now, but the “Passage to Fortune” tour that I took in these tunnels described the poignant history of Chinese immigrants very vividly. I was saddened to learn about the bigotry present in this era and that was another important factor in many of them staying underground for they weren’t accepted by some of the locals, as there seemed to be a lot of anti-Chinese sentiment. I learned that many of these men had been charged a large fee just to get to Canada and then they had to work long, arduous hours to simply pay off this debt (arranged through what was known as a coolie broker) before even attempting to have a better life here in Canada. Many, of course, never did get beyond this agonizing point! As I toured through this maze of tunnels, the guide said that these immigrants often worked a 12-16 hour shift for about 35 cents and then they were

charged part of this wage to simply crash in crowded, unventilated bunk rooms located within the tunnels. My guide continued by stating that this reality was a moral blemish in Canadian history. As I went from tunnel to tunnel, I passed some of these work areas and businesses and could imagine the horrid working conditions that they encountered. I also saw a former opium den, where some of the more discouraged would try to escape their grim reality. As time went by, this “Chinese era” was replaced by the Prohibition era, and the tunnels then provided a great place to hide forbidden liquor and for brothels and gambling. It’s believed that mobsters made millions out of this location. The illegal liquor was said to have been exported into the U.S., particularly Chicago, by rail. Moose Jaw was nicknamed “Little Chicago”, and rumours spread that perhaps Al Capone himself spent some time in these tunnels; after all, organized crime seemed ram-

pant and Moose Jaw was touted as the “Sin Capital of the Prairies” at this time. A local barber, now deceased, even mentioned that he used to cut Al’s hair and another claimed to have been Al’s paper boy. Perhaps these connections with Al Capone are true or perhaps they’re simply urban legends or tall tales, but some locals began talking about these and even today there’s a motel in downtown Moose Jaw known as Capone’s Hideaway. Well, after the bootlegging industry died down at the end of Prohibition, the tunnels apparently fell into disuse. Eventually, some enterprising people decided to use the tunnels for tours and “Passage to Fortune” and “The Chicago Connection” both began. “The Chicago Connection” is the lighter, more entertaining tour but perhaps less factual. On this journey into the tunnels, I was led by Gus, supposedly security for Big Al and Fanny, Al’s supposed decorator and bookkeeper. These two actors dressed in mobster-style costumes, took

us through a myriad of tunnels and secret passageways, behind shelves, etc., and past exit signs where there was no exit. We entered Miss Fanny’s Club, passed several cases of illegal liquor and a collection of guns, and then entered into Al’s office. We were told about the illegal activities that had allegedly taken place here under the direction of Al himself, and there was even an anecdote about Al playing golf in the Moose Jaw area. Gus said that he always carried a gun with him, so there was a 45 in his golf bag at the time. When Our costumed guide leads us on “The Chicago Connection” tour. he went to put back his putter, the gun accidentally fired and shot Big Al in both legs! It was a hole in two! The tunnel tours are almost an COACH & TOURS hour in length each, and they’re available daily except Dec. 25, and the prices per tour are $15 adult, $12 senior, $11.50 youth, $8.50 child 6-1), and it’s free for 5 and under.

Quinte Conservation warns of emerald ash borer

community, it spreads rapidly. Trees attacked by the emerald ash borer typically die within one to three years. Costs associated with an emerald ash borer infestation include the treatment, removal, and replacement of trees. Benefits of urban trees include the provision of oxygen, reduction of pollution, conservation

of water, prevention of soil erosion, provision of food and shelter for wildlife and moderation of climate. Trees also increase property values and contribute to the quality of life in a neighbourhood. Ash has a high tolerance of salt, poor soils and air pollution, which makes it a valuable component of the urban forest. In 2002 the emerald ash borer

was first detected in Ontario near Windsor. As of March 2014 there have been no confirmed cases of emerald ash borer in Hastings, Prince Edward, and Lennox and Addington Counties. It has been confirmed in Northumberland and Frontenac Counties. More information about Quinte Conservation is available at www. quinteconservation.ca.

Mutual aid expands across county borders The city of Belleville provided 6,000 News - Trent Hills - A new partnership was forged between sandbags to the municipality. Mutual Aid systems in Northumberland and Hastings coun“That really bailed us out,” Trent Hills Fire ties last week in response to the flooding that took place in Chief Tim Blake said. “We would have got the Trent Hills. job done but it would have been an extraordinary feat to fill the bags and place them [in a timely manner].” They “saved our guys a lot of work by having them bagged,” he said. “It was a tremendous help.” By going outside the county to help in By John Campbell

unusual circumstances, “we actually did something in uncharted territory,” Blake said. The assistance was arranged by his alternate as Northumberland’s Mutual Aid co-ordinator, Cobourg Deputy Fire Chief Gene Thompson, who got in touch with his counterpart in Belleville, Deputy Fire Chief Bruce Greatrix. There “wasn’t a real need” for the surplus sandbags in Belleville after the Moira River had dropped a foot-and-a-half, Thompson said. “It’s rare that we go across counties but it

does happen,” Greatrix said. Blake said firefighters and public works staff worked eight straight days preparing and putting sandbags in place. They were helped one day last week by five firefighters from each of the county’s municipal fire departments, who were also “on emergency standby right from the start … ready to respond at any given time in case we had to get into an evacuation situation,” he said. “We didn’t know what the water levels were going to do.”

News - Quinte West - With the Bay of Quinte as a backdrop, federal representative Dr. Colin Carrie from the Ministry of the Environment announced the government’s commitment to cleaning up the Great Lakes. “We need to protect and restore Canada’s Great Lakes,” he told a small group at the Bay of Quinte Country Club on Old Highway 2 on April 23. He said there are 31 environmental cleanup projects in the Great Lakes valued at $1.88 million, funded by the Great Lakes Sustainability Fund. “We have a shared goal with our partners, the conservation authorities, the municipalities and the province of Ontario to clean up all remaining areas,” he said. Terry Murphy, general manager from Quinte Conservation and co-chair of the Remedial Action Plan Restoration Council, said they are close to de-listing the Bay of Quinte.

“The fish are edible,” he said. “But we have more work to do.” He said they are monitoring the bay now. “We can’t just walk away,” he said. “The Bay of Quinte is so important to this area, especially to tourism.” Glenda Rodgers, general manager from Lower Trent Conservation and co-chair of the Remedial Action Plan Restoration Council, said they have been working on restoring the bay since 1990. Seven issues have been addressed and five beneficial use impairments have been utilized such as dredging. “By 2017 we hope to de-list the Bay from an Area of Concern,” she said. “The work is not yet done. There are emerging issues and new challenges. We want to keep the Bay of Quinte healthy and vibrant.” MP Rick Norlock said he likes fishing during walleye season. “I tell people if it’s under six pounds I throw it back,” he said with a laugh.

Lifestyles - The Friends of Presqu’ile Park are pleased to announce that, yes after a long, cold winter, that spring is finally here! While birds have been trickling back north for a couple of months, the big wave of tens of thousands of songbirds and shorebirds that migrate through Presqu’ile Provincial Park, will be arriving in May. These are some of the most beautiful and sought after birds for birdwatchers and this weekend is packed with activities designed to introduce visitors to these birds and the fine art of bird watching. On both Saturday, May 17 and Sunday, May 18 we will start out with an ultra early bird walk for the ultra keen at 6:30 a.m. from the Lighthouse Centre. Want to sleep a bit longer? We will also offer a repeat bird walk starting at 10 a.m. from the Lighthouse Centre. “Warblers are often called the “jewels of the forest” for their varied and beautiful colours,” says Park Naturalist David Bree, “but they can be a challenge to see. Our experts can help you find and identify some of the 20+ species likely present in the park this weekend. While bird watching is best in the early morning, there is usually some activity all day during migration and we should see birds on our later walks as well as the early ones.” There will be a guided walk starting from the Owen Point Trail parking lot at 2 p.m. to seek out shorebirds. Bree goes on to say, “With this walk we are going to the other end of the birding spectrum. Warblers are often hidden, shorebirds stand in the open, Warblers are brightly coloured, shorebirds are beautiful but are subtle tones of brown, grey, and red. Shorebirds too can be a challenge to identify, but having a guide with a spotting scope will help visitors get a good look at these fascinating creatures. These are true long-distance migrants; many are travelling from southern South America to the Canadian Arctic and are only stopping a few days at Presqu’ile to refuel.” The highlight for many will be a bird banding demonstration at the Owen Point Trail parking lot from 8 a.m. until noon courtesy of Elizabeth Kellogg and Roger Frost, licensed bird banders. This will allow visitors an unprecedented chance to see birds up close and learn how and why birds are banded. This activity is weather dependent for the safety of the

The joy of cooking being taught to young people Photos: John Campbell

Public health food worker Pat Stuckless helps Brandon Vau make a watermelon basket.

By John Campbell

News - Brighton - A handful of young people are learning to cook from scratch and discover for themselves the joy it can bring. The four classes arranged by the Beacon Youth Centre are being taught by Pat Stuckless, a public health food worker with the Haliburton Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit. She introduced the teenagers to basic kitchen tools and how to use knives at the first session and then instructed them last week on how to make a bean and lentil salsa, fruit salad, bruschetta and nacho chips. “It’s all about making it easier [for them],” she said, so they will be more inclined to prepare their own meals and snacks, rather than turn to processed foods that are high in fat and sodium, and can be very expensive. “It’s introducing them to different foods and just letting them have some fun,” Stuckless said. The free lessons are “a great opportunity for kids to learn about cooking,” said Beacon Youth Centre director Rene Schmidt. He announced the drop-in at the plaza on Alice Street has expanded its hours of operation with the addition of two new volunteers. It’s now open on Wednesday, as well as Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The annual Children’s Fishing Derby hosted by the Warkworth Community Service Club drew a total of 226 children and their families last weekend. The young anglers included, l-r, Gracie Matser, Devon Finley, Emma-Lee Matser, Finley Kelly and Lauren Taylor. Basil Milne, of Warkworth, was Saturday’s winner, with a 6 lb. 11 oz. catch. Lily Porter, of Cobourg, was the grand champion, hauling in an 11 lb 10 oz trout Sunday. The event was held at Ryken’s Pond, west of Morganston, owned by club member George Ryken.

She started out when she was 15, playing for her father who was a minister. “His organist quit and I got conscripted, and I have been doing it ever since,� she says. Cathy Redden was another one who got “conscripted�; in her case, it was to join the choir in 1970 when she moved to town to teach Grade 3. The shows are more than fund raisers, “they’re a good evening all around in the community,� and they’ve also “upped the skill level of the choir because we’re always practising,� learning new pieces and styles of music, she says. “It’s really kept us on our toes.� Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students; there’s no charge for children ten and under. They can be purchased in advance at Kerr’s Corner Books or the church, or at the door the night of the shows, which begin at 7:30 p.m.

Guest performers include Dan Foster singing The Great Pretender—“he’s just amazing�—and Kim Dafoe, “who is just such a special performer,� who will sing Where the Boys Are and Downtown.

KENNEDY, Beth - Surrounded by love, Luella Elizabeth Margaret (nee Skinner) died peacefully in her Oshawa, Ontario home on April 19, after a brief, albeit intense affair with cancer. Beth was an only child, born in August, 1946 to George & Myra Skinner (nee BARTLETT) at Toronto General Hospital, Ontario. She enjoyed her childhood in Simcoe, Ontario, often spending much of that time with her many cousins in northern Ontario. After attending Alma College, St. Thomas, she went on to pursue nursing, graduating from the College of Nurses of Ontario, class of 1967. Later that year, she married a handsome Irishman, and moved to Madoc, Ontario where together they owned and operated Lingham Lake Lodge for many years, raising a family and settling locally. After suffering a tragic, debilitating work related injury at Whitby Psychiatric Hospital, she pursued life with a new found vigor, often pushing her disabilities to the limits. Beth loved life, her family and the people around her with an intensity we can only admire. She touched the life of everyone she met in her own unique way and will be sorely missed. She is predeceased by her husband Wayne Kennedy (1944-2004) and survived by her children Rob (Dallas), Sara (Dennis), Angy, and grandchildren Mitchell, Alex and Ayden, and six cats. She will also be lovingly remembered by countless others and everyone who knew her as ‘Mom.’ Visitation will be held at the COURTICE FUNERAL CHAPEL, 1587 Highway #2, Courtice, ON (905-432-8484), on Saturday, May 3rd 2014 from 11am - 1pm followed by a memorial service at 1pm.
