Student from Trenton meets British royalty at vet college in U.K.

Elizabeth Kaladeen, of Trenton, had the honour of meeting Camilla, The Duchess of Cornwall, at an anniversary visit to the Royal Veterinary College. Elizabeth studies veterinary medicine at the London, U.K.based college. The Duchess of Cornwall, wife of heir to the throne Prince Charles, is Patron of the RVC’s charity The Animal Care Trust. Her visit to the university launched celebrations to mark the 30th birthday of the RVC’s Queen Mother Hospital for Animals. Elizabeth, a fifth-year student, spoke to the Her Royal Highness about Kinggy, a Jack Russell whose case she had worked on. Kinggy had been admitted for treatment for an ectopic thyroid tumour. As part of her training in internal medicine, Elizabeth was involved in his follow up examination to see how his treatment was progressing and to ensure he was staying on track after surgery. Elizabeth grew up in Trenton, but chose to study at the RVC in the U.K. because of the opportunities this would give her to travel, and the excellent veterinary education it provides. Elizabeth said, “I have always wanted to live abroad and the RVC is the only school to give me the option to work in North America, the UK and Australia. In addition, it is located in one of the greatest cities in the world (London) and the lecturers are all renowned in their fields. “I was very excited about (the recent) royal visit. The case I worked on was unique, and being part of the birthday celebrations has been very exciting.” “The RVC is one of the best universities in the world. It gives you the opportunity to work almost anywhere once you have graduated, and gave me the chance to meet a royal!” The Royal Veterinary College is the U.K.’s largest and longest established independent veterinary school and is a constituent College of the University of London.

Golden Hawks off to the Dudley By Erin Stewart Trenton – The Quinte West community sent the Trenton Golden Hawks off to the DudleyHewitt Cup in style during the G-Hawks pep rally on Sun. May 1. The G-Hawks took a traditional fire truck ride from city hall and were police escorted to the Centennial Park Amphitheatre where they were greeted by around 200 G-Hawks fans. “The fans here, they’ve supported us throughout the year and I think that’s really helped us and our team to really continue,” said goaltender Daniel Urbani. “So anyone that was coming up to us, they’d be thanking us for a great season

but we’d also be thanking them for their support, I think it works both ways.” The Buckland Cup Champions autographed complimentary copies of their Buckland Cup championship photo, compliments of Market High Advertising, and also signed Golden Hawks merchandise and took pictures with fans. Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison said the pep rally is a great way for fans to meet the players and wish them luck at the Dudley. “It was quite important to let them know we are proud of what they’ve done,” Harrison said. “We’re proud of them no matter what they do.” The Dudley-Hewitt Cup Central Canadian Jr. “A” Championship may be taking place seven

hours north in Kirkland Lake but don’t worry, the city of Quinte West and the Golden Hawks don’t want you to miss the action. The 2017 Dudley-Hewitt Committee and city of Quinte West will be hosting viewing parties for the much anticipated championship. Game 1 viewing party: Tue. May 3, at 2 p.m. in Quinte West city hall council chambers. The GHawks take on the Soo Thunderbirds, last year’s Dudley Cup champions. Game 2: Wed. May 4, at 7 p.m. in the Duncan’s main arena. G-Hawks vs. Kirkland Lake Gold Minors. Game 3: Thurs. May 5, at 2 p.m. in Quinte West city hall council chambers. G-Hawks vs.

Fort Frances Lakers. Game 4: Fri. May 6, time to be determined, in the Duncan’s main arena Game 5: Sat. May 7, time to be determined, in the Duncan’s main arena Donations for Trenton’s Care and Share Foodbank are requested for attending the viewing parties. Follow ongoing activities at the Dudley Hewitt Cup live on Twitter @InBellevile, our website insidebelleville. com and on Facebook ‘Inside Belleville.’ Up to the minute game reports and post game interviews will be featured as well.

Shovels hit ground, city hopes for paydirt in Shorelines Casino By Stephen Petrick

Black plastic is not accepted in the Blue Box.

Belleville – City officials smiled as if they had hit the jackpot during a ground breaking and sod turning ceremony for construction of Shorelines Casino Belleville. “We’re pleased to welcome you to the third ground-breaking ceremony for a casino in Belleville,” said Chuck Keeling, an executive with Great Canadian Gaming, the company that will own the casino. The joke was in reference to past failed attempts for a casino to get traction in the city. “But, we can assure you that this one is for real,” he added. Several city councillors and Great Canadian Gaming officials lined up behind a ribbon placed at the construction site on Bell Boulevard, located directly east of the Marriott Town Suites. As Mayor Taso Christopher got ready to cut the ribbon he said, it’s been “a long time waiting.” Coun. Jack Miller added, “Only 12 years.” Christopher and two casino officials also

participated in a sod turning photo-op moments later. Keeling explained to the large audience that the casino is expected to open in about a year. The sod turning and ground breaking was purely “ceremonial” he said, as work on the site is already underway. Christopher expressed excitement about the project when speaking to reporters later, saying the casino is expected to create about 300 jobs, of which about 180 would be fulltime. “You’re looking at a multi-million dollar injection into the city,” he said. The casino is expected to be about 48,000 square feet. It will also generate revenue for the municipality, say its operators and city officials. Casinos operating under guidelines of the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp., as Shorelines will be, must give 5.25 per cent of the first $65 million they generate from electronic games directly to their municipality. Four per cent of revenue from table games is also to go back to the municipality.

OPINION

Iraq: Failed state Property prices in central Baghdad are as high as London’s, even though Iraq’s national income is down by 70 per cent since the collapse in the oil price. Islamic State’s bombs regularly devasGwynne Dyer tate parts of the capital, and still the real estate market booms. Why? Because there is so much “dirty money” in Iraq that needs to be laundered. If you lack the political clout to get your stolen money out of the country, then the safest course is to put it into residential property. Although that’s not a very safe bet either when the entire pseudo-democratic system bequeathed to Iraq by the US invasion is on the brink of collapse. Last weekend’s intrusion into the Green Zone, the vast (10 sq. km) blast-walled government compound in Baghdad, by thousands of angry Iraqis was probably the beginning of the end of the current dispensation in Iraq. After only two days, they left again after delivering an ultimatum calling for wholesale reform of the government, but they vowed to return if it does not happen. It will not happen, and they will be back in the streets soon. Former prime minister Nouri al-Maliki, forced from power in 2014 after Islamic State forces conquered the western half of Iraq, has been plotting a comeback with other parties in parliament. He may not succeed, but he and his allies are certainly able to block the passage of most measures they do not like. The cement binding Maliki and the other plotters together is their determination to retain the utterly corrupt system that has allowed them to loot the country’s oil wealth for so long. The oil wealth is a great deal less now, but it is still practically Iraq’s only source of income and they have no intention of giving it up. The man who replaced Maliki, President Haider al-Abadi, is in relative terms a reformer. He belongs to the same Dawa Party as Maliki and cannot afford to get too far out of touch with his power base. Nevertheless, almost a year ago he promised that he would replace many of his cabinet

members, drawn from the various parties in the ruling coalition, with “technocrats” who would (theoretically) be less likely to steal the government’s money. He couldn’t deliver on his promise, however, because any cabinet changes have to be approved by parliament. Three times Abadi’s proposed reforms were rejected by parliament. It was after the last time, in April, that Moqtada al-Sadr, a populist cleric with a big following among Baghdad’s multitudinous Shia poor, ordered the invasion of the fortified Green Zone. That did force parliament to approve of five of Abadi’s cabinet changes, and more will probably follow. But changing the figureheads in the government ministries will not end the looting of public funds, which permeates the system from top to bottom. Indeed, you might say that corruption is the system in Iraq. Like several other oil-rich countries, Iraq distributes some of the cash-flow to the citizens by means of paying them to do non-jobs. Most of the rest is stolen by the 25,000 or so people who hold senior administrative, political or military positions, leaving a small amount for public works. There are seven million government employees in Iraq, in other words, a large majority of the adult male population, and most of them do little or no work. Indeed, some of them don’t even exist, like the “ghost soldiers” whose pay is collected by their officers. Collectively they were paid around $4 billion a month, which was all right when monthly oil income was up around $6 billion. It is so dysfunctional that little is being done even to repair the Mosul Dam, which requires constant work on its foundations if it is not to break and drown Mosul, four hours downstream, under a 24-metre-high wave. The wave would be much lower when it reached Baghdad two days later, but it would still be big enough to wreck property values for a long time to come. All this talk about the Iraqi army driving Islamic State back is just hot air. The only Iraqi military advances have happened under the cover of massive US air strikes, and the government’s own attention is elsewhere. So, increasingly, is that of the population. But Islamic State is still paying attention.

Editorial - Chris Malette

You could see the exhaustion and shock on the many of the faces of firefighters who battled flames on three fronts at last week’s fire and suicide at Sills Road and Highway 37. Volunteer firefighters sat chugging water bottles while some of their fellow first responders quelled the dying remnants of the fires that raged through two outbuildings and what was once a handsome, new home on the corner lot. Many afterward would surely ask themselves “What the hell was that?” as they replayed the events of the early morning roll-out that saw them come upon raging fires on three fronts and the shocking image of a man’s body, splayed lifeless in the driveway of the flaming house, bearing stark signs of a fatal gunshot wound. In a statement, days later, Belleville fire officials commented that April 29 was “… a long and strenuous day for Belleville Fire Fighters from Stations 3 and 4 — their efforts under very difficult and trying circumstances is also recognized and very much appreciated.” To say the least. These men and women are volunteers who have regular jobs – carpenters, farmers and the like – who get paged maybe the odd time a week to drop everything and assemble either at a volunteer hall or at a fire scene to put out the occasional grass fire, or, in some cases, at motor vehicle collisions, or in some cases serious ones involving death, serious injuries sometimes requiring dismantling a vehicle to pry someone from the wreck – extrication, it’s called. But, the cumulative effect of the more serious of these incidents can take its toll on any first responder – be it a cop, firefighter or EMS personnel. Imagine, then, the impact of the volunteer department in a small, rural town in Alberta, when this kind of crazy happens. According to The Canadian Press, a firefighter who battled the flames that destroyed a railway trestle bridge northwest of Edmonton last week has now been charged with setting the fire, as well as others in and around his community. That’s right. One of their own – setting fires that had every one of his comrades scrambling night and day to extinguish blazes. The town itself was

spooked. Mounties said Lawson Michael Schalm, 19, of Mayerthorpe faces 18 counts of arson following an investigation into a recent rash of fires, including the one that spectacularly destroyed a wooden CN train bridge on April 26. Chief of the town’s fire department, Randy Schroeder, confirmed that Schalm was among the firefighters who fought last week’s fire on the bridge. “The entire department is shocked and in disbelief right now regarding the situation,” Schroeder said on Sunday. “It’s almost grief-like symptoms at this point.” In 2014, the CBC reported on efforts to help volunteer firefighters experiencing mental health issues related to PTSD. “A lot of times you wish your mind would remove what your eyes have seen, some of the fires you’re going to and some of the smells and things that you see at the fire,” Dawson City Fire Chief Jim Regimbal told CBC News. “You put them in the back of your brain, but they have a tendency to creep back up.” The Ontario government has recently taken steps to develop a safety net for regular and volunteer firefighters who are experiencing PTSD. Career and volunteer firefighters in Ontario who experience post-traumatic stress disorder will automatically have their claims for compensation processed, the Liberal government announced in February. New legislation, dubbed “Supporting Ontario’s First Responders Act” was introduced by Labour Minister Kevin Flynn last week. Ontario follows Manitoba, which enacted legislation last year, and Alberta where such protection became law in 2012. Some of us have heard the old rivalry betweenpolice and firefighters over whose job is tougher; have maybe even carped ourselves some time about the salaries paid to full-time career firefighters who stack the overtime like cordwood and star on the annual Sunshine List. But, most of us didn’t roll out of bed last Friday morning to race to a scene where three buildings were ablaze and the gruesome scene of a dead man was their greeting in the driveway, either. PTSD? Yes, you could say it happens.

Barks and Bikes 2016 National Service Dog Charity Ride June 18 By Ross Lees The Barks and Bikes 2016 National Service Dog (NSD) Charity Ride hopes to suffer severe growing pains in its second year. The brain child of Andrew Whynott and Lawrence Christensen, both former military personnel retired while at 8 Wing/Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Trenton, the Barks and Bikes Ride in 2015 raised just over $2,100 for NSD and they hope to grow that substantially in its second year. In that first year, 50 motorcycles participated in the two-hour ride beginning and ending at the Frankford Legion, but the two organizers hope to increase the number of bikes substantially this year as they attempt to make this a major motorcycle fundraiser within the province. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort resulted in NSD allowing the Barks and Bikes 2015 organization to name one of the NSD puppies Juno, after the local clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Juno Riders. NSD was picked as the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chosen

charity for a very simple reason, according to Whynott. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very proud of NSD,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They do exactly what we all strongly believe in - support our veterans - and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for money to do it. They just want to help, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we want. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what prompted it.â&#x20AC;? Well supported by local businesses, including the Frankford Legion where the ride begins and ends on June 18 and where the dinner is prepared and served, the ride goes northwest from Frankford to Norwood and along Highway 7 through Havelock, then back down to Stirling and back to Frankford in about two hours. Registration starts at 11 a.m. and the ride starts at 1 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try to stay out of heavily populated areas because of the size of the ride,â&#x20AC;? Whynott said. Additional promotion in Toronto by another sponsor may help add substantially to the number of bikes participating in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event, Whynott hopes.

Christensen lives with PTSD and is a recipient of a NSD named Lynx, part chocolate lab and part golden retriever. Lynx has made a marked improvement in Christensenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life and that of his family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It chokes me up sometimes when I think about what I was like even as short as a year ago and how Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve changed and how much more open I am,â&#x20AC;? said Christensen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helps with the awareness that people need to have that this is an issue and the service dog is not the cure-all. I still have other tools that I use, he just happens to be an assistive device I can bring with me everywhere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And be there when my anxiety rears its ugly head,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He brings me back when I get distracted and he wakes me up from nightmares at night. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a buffer for me. I can put him between me and give myself a little more space when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in public.â&#x20AC;? Christensen speaks very highly of NSD. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest thing I can say about NSD is the fact that there is no cost to me financially. I always say I already paid for my dog - 84 months foreign service. So for me to have to go to an organization and buy a service dog, it just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sit well with me,â&#x20AC;? he noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other thing about NSD, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been together for over a year now, and the support from NSD is still there. If I have an issue, I can call them and they stay involved with Lynx with public access tests for the first three years and then every two years after that until he finishes his working career.â&#x20AC;?

Get in the Game seminar helps educators re-think phys. ed. By Stephen Petrick

Belleville – Grade 3 and 4 students at area schools can expect to learn some fun new gym class games soon. Their teachers promised they’d bring back some new ideas after taking a day out of the classroom to attend a special seminar called ‘Get in the Game – Teaching Games for Understanding.’ The seminar was a product of the Healthy Kids Community Challenge, for which Hastings County recently received funding. As a result, dozens of local elementary school teachers, recreational department staff and employees in other child-related professions were able to attend the event at Belleville’s Banquet Centre on Thursday, April 21. It was designed to help educators explore new ways to teach phys. ed. in such a way that the focus of activities is less on competition, but more on developing skills and creating an inclusive environment, where children of all abilities can play. Teachers learned new takes on traditional sports that are suitable for young children. For instance, a game in which participants pass large balls from one side of the line to another, helps a child develop a skill set to enjoy volleyball when he or she is older. “It’s really interesting to learn how

important it is to break down a sport or a game into different skills-based activities, so everyone can participate more equally,” said Christina Clarey, a Grade 3/4 teacher at St. Joseph. She and fellow Grade 3/4 teacher from St. Joseph, Meaghan Lattanzio, were among the participants in the seminar. They said their students are excited for them to learn new activities that can “add some spice” to gym class. Emma Pillsworth, a health unit employees and project manager for the Healthy Kids Community Challenge, said it’s important for teachers to learn new ways to teach phys ed. If they help children develop skills at an early age, they’re more likely to enjoy sports at an older age and develop a healthy lifestyle, she said. The seminar was an activity involved in the first theme of the Healthy Kids challenge, which is titled Run. Jump. Play. Everyday. Special activities and seminars have taken place since January, with this theme involved. A second theme is expected to be launched later in the year. Hastings County was recently granted up to $375,000 from the provincial government annually from 2016 to 2018 for the challenge. The funds not only allow for such seminars, but are also helping schools access new phys. Among the participants in the Get in the Game seminar were (from left) Carrie Horne of the YMCA, Christina Clarey and Meaghan Lattanzio of St. Joseph ed. equipment. Catholic School.

Frankford Youth Centre raises $42,000 after successful dinner and auction

By Erin Stewart Frankford â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Frankford Youth Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fifth annual fundraiser dinner and live and silent auction was a hit this year, raising $42,000 for the centre on Sat. April 23. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is great, this is the best turnout weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had,â&#x20AC;? said Frank Meiboom, Frankford Youth Centre board chair. Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison, MP Neil Ellis and several Quinte West councillors were on hand to bring their support to the centre, along with around 140 members of the community. The annual fundraiser in the centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main source of revenue to keep it running throughout the year. The auction, ticket sales and donations raised a total of $32,000 and the city of Quinte West donated an additional $10,000. Kierra Marshall Butler, 12, goes to Frankford Public School and said she has been going to the Frankford Youth Centre for about a year and a half now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really fun, I enjoy it a lot, I go there almost every night,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a really great experience being able to go there for the past year and a half, I go with a couple of my friends every night.â&#x20AC;? Kierra said she was really happy to be at the fundraiser and said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excited for the impact it will have on the centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My favourite part about it is being able to go there everyday and do my homework and get some quiet time and spending time with my friends,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Frankford resident Frank Vreugdenhal has been a strong advocate for the youth centre since the very beginning. Vreugdenhal purchased the home used for the centre and had it fixed up six years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youth today, especially in Frankford, are lacking sometimes a place to go, because both parents work or they only have one parent, and they just hang around town,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re giving them an avenue after they get off the bus to have somewhere to go instead of an empty house.â&#x20AC;? Vreugdenhal said he was very pleased with the community support at the fundraiser. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only way we can keep it going,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really appreciate being in Quinte West because they have given us a donation for the past two years and we really appreciate that because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big job to keep the finances current.â&#x20AC;?

Front Porch Shenanigans brings free music to Stirling on May 28

Stirling—About 20 bands and individual singers and musicians will be descending on Stirling to play for free on front porches in the downtown area on Saturday, May 28. This new event, called Front Porch Shenanigans, will feature a wide variety of music, including everything from country, bluegrass and blues to rock and punk. Organizer David Bush is very pleased with the response the event has received from homeowners who are volunteering the use of their verandahs to all the musicians and singers who have agreed to participate. “I’ve had nothing but great response from the community,” Bush said. “It is an exciting event. It’s the first time Stirling’s ever done it.” Among those performing are the Stirling Citizens’ Band and a class of music students from Ryerson University who will be performing Broadway songs.

By Stephen Petrick Samantha has five children, two with an abusive husband. On a recent morning, she had to find new housing and get to an Ontario Works and Ontario Disability Support Program office to speak to caseworkers. Meanwhile, the Children’s Aid Society was threatening to take away her kids. At the same time, Tim was also having a stressful day. He was on his own caring for his seven children because his wife has a brain tumour. He was visiting the food bank, looking for food to suit his diabetic needs, when he realized he had to leave suddenly to pick up his kids. Tim and Samantha aren’t real, but their dilemmas are based on the experiences of real people in the community. Tim and Samantha were among two of the characters given to high school students to play, while participating in the Poverty Challenge at Loyalist College on Wednesday, April 21. Each student was given a character and a set of challenges to overcome that day. The challenge forced the students to navigate through the college and attend certain fictional offices to complete tasks. They were given little guidance on how to achieve their assigned task in a limited time span. The exercise is meant to simulate the experience of living in poverty for one day and having to navigate a city to access various social agencies. And three of the students who spoke to the Belleville News said the exercise was incredible, as it helped them remove any preconceived notions about what kind of people live in poverty. “You learn about all the hoops and all the challenges people go through when living in poverty,” said Jacob McNulty, a Grade 11 student from Centennial Secondary School. “It’s more challenging than you might think.” One of the most rewarding parts of the day is when the students meet the real person, whose live has inspired the character they’ve just played. “They’re amazing people,” McNulty 14

added. “They’re just unlucky, I guess you could say.” McNulty played the role of Tim, as did Chion Smith, a Grade 12 student from Trenton High School. Smith said the experience was such an eye-opener for him, that he hopes the Poverty Challenge can become a mandatory component of school curriculum. “This should be implemented at every school,” he said.

THS who played the role of Samantha, said the exercise breaks down the stereotype that people living in poverty are lazy. On the contrary, they face incredible challenges and have to work hard to overcome them, she said. Ann Boniferro, a co-ordinator with the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board, and one of the organizers of the challenge, was thrilled to hear the event was helping students break down their own stereo-

types. “That’s the whole point,” she said, with a wide smile. About 120 students, between the Catholic and public school board, participated in the challenge. It’s run with support from the United Way of Quinte and Loyalist College. Social service worker students at Loyalist usually host their own Poverty Challenge at the school each year, too. Brandi Hodge, the United Way’s director of community engagement, said

the event marks one of the most exciting days on her yearly calendar. Students often come out of the event with a greater desire to eliminate poverty, which is a common goal of the United Way. The event also helps students realize that virtually anyone can end up living in poverty at some point in their life. “It helps them understand that life doesn’t always go as planned,” she said.

World U-19 Women’s Floorball Championships are underway By Stephen Petrick Belleville – Athletes from around the world have arrived in Belleville. And Belleville is showing it’s capable of hosting an international sports event. After a three-year wait, the Under 19 Women’s World Floorball Championships started Tuesday night with a spirited opening ceremony at the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre. Canada opened the tournament Wednesday morning against Japan in the Yardmen Arena, where a sold out crowd of 3,000 cheered on the host team, which features six Quinte-area players. The game was played after press time, but more up to date information on the tournament will be available at www.insidebelleville.com . On Thursday, Canada plays Thailand at 7:10 p.m. and on Friday Canada plays rival Germany, again at 7:10 p.m. Playoff games take place Saturday and Sunday, with the A final game scheduled for 6:10 p.m. on Sunday. As a country that’s relatively new to floorball – a sport much like hockey only it’s played on a dry surface – Canada is expected to have tough competition in D pool play. But regardless of how the host team performs, the championships are shaping up to be a successful event from a business standpoint, said Brett Davis, Canada’s general manager and a chief organizer of the tournament. He and a team of local floorball enthusiasts put in a bid to host the games four years ago. A year later, Belleville was announced as the winner of the bid. “It feels like it’s a lifelong goal,” he said in an interview shortly before the tournament began. “Now that’s it’s coming into fruition, it’s exciting, it’s surreal.” In the final days leading up to the tournament, organizers were still raising funds to ensure the tournament meets its fundraising goals. The tournament has a roughly $300,000 budget – money that covers “everything,” Davis said.

But the tournament has received numerous corporate sponsors and advance ticket sales have also been brisk, Davis said. He’s confident gate ticket sales will be strong and will help the event pull even. As for volunteers, more than 250 people had signed on to help run the tournament as of mid April. Yet still more are needed Davis said, as plenty of ushers will be needed inside the arena. “There’s a lot going on it seems,” he said. “Everyone is working to ensure we put the best possible tournament on.” Meanwhile the Canadian team was training hard in the days leading up to the tournament, realizing they would soon be playing in front of big crowds. The team played in a men’s league tournament in Ottawa the weekend before the tournament and then moved into a brief training camp. Davis said he’s not sure if the players can fully grasp how special an opportunity this will be for them and how much work has taken place, behind the scenes, to make this tournament possible. But, he said, a few players – including Belleville’s Hannah Wilson – have experience playing in front of large crowds through college hockey and past international floorball experiences. Their leadership, he said, will hopefully calm Members of the Canadian Under 19 Women’s World Floorball team, including Belleville native Hannah Wilson (in the orange the nerves of other players and lead to positive jersey), scrimmage during a recent practice in Hamilton. The team opened the world championships in Belleville on May 4. results. Photo by James Paddle Grant Regardless of what happens on the floor, the City of Belleville is coming out a winner, as it will be able to say for the first time that it’s hosted an international sporting event. That’s the feeling among many contributing to the tournament. “We’re pretty much ready in a lot of respects,” Davis said. “The floors have arrived, the boards have arrived, the trophies have arrived.” For more information on the championships, including ticket information, visit http://floorball2016.ca To volunteer at the championships, go through Volunteer & Information Quinte, http://viq.ca

Invisible Braces

Dr. Brian Ho Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that corrects teeth that are crowded, protruding, or too far apart. Until recently, orthodontic treatment was focused mainly on teenagers, and the preferred method was metal train-track braces. Today, about 20% of orthodontic patients are between twenty and sixty years of age. Dental researchers have produced a revolutionary new technique that has brightened the smiles of thousands of patients. The system is called Invisalign®, and it’s the invisible way to straighten teeth using a series of custom-made, nearly undetectable aligners Here’s how it works. During your consultation, we decide if Invisalign is right for you. We create a treatment plan, take an 18

impression of your teeth, and submit it to Invisalign who translates our instructions into a series of medical-grade plastic aligners. Each one of your comfortable aligners is precisely calibrated and manufactured to fit snugly over your teeth and gently move them through every stage of your treatment plan. No more metal in your mouth means you’ll smile more during treatment, and you’ll spend less time in our office having adjustments! Because Invisalign aligners are removable, you can still enjoy your favorite foods and smile without holding back. With Invisalign, there’s nothing to avoid and nothing to hide! We welcome you to call our office to ask questions, or to arrange a consultation to discover how Invisalign can help give you the smile you’ve always wanted!

Dr. Brian Ho is a general dentist practicing at Trenton Family Dental in Trenton, Ontario. He can be reached at 613.394.3883 or trentonfamilydental@gmail.com, or by visiting www.trentonfamilydental.com.

Catwalk 4 Change event raises money for wheelchairs By Stephen Petrick Quinte West – The National Air Force Museum had a glitzy and glamorous feel on Saturday night, as dozens of community leaders gathered to support the Wheelchair of Hope Foundation. The foundation hosted Catwalk 4 Change, a black tie dinner and fashion show to raise funds for a good cause. Wheelchair of Hope is a relatively new, non-profit organization that raises funds to provide wheelchairs for those in need. Its founder, John Cairns, said a donation of a new high-end wheelchair often represents something much more than a seat with wheels. To some clients, it represents and opportunity to get out and about more, participate in community activities and have a great social life. “We provide freedom through the gift of mobility,” he said. The foundation takes in donations of unneeded wheelchairs, but funds are needed to refurbish the wheelchairs The Wheelchair of Hope board of directors includes (from left) founder John Cairns, Matt Sweet, Glenn Lidstone, Ashley Rushnell, Lucas Wiseman, Mike Wilcox, Dianna Cairns and to industry standard and provide them to clients, at no Garnet Thompson.

costs. Many wheelchairs are expensive to maintain, Cairns explained, as a new battery could cost $300 to 400. The event is estimated to have rasied about $15,000, but all the bills had not yet been tallied, said organizers. Cairns is thrilled with the support the foundation has received in its short history. This was the second annual Catwalk dinner event and dozens of people, dressed to the nines, attended the event, including several councillors and business leaders from both Quinte West and Belleville. A long list of wellknown Quinte-area businesses sponsored the event, too. The event also featured a fashion show that celebrated diversity, as some of the models strolled down the catwalk in wheelchairs. The support was appreciated Cairns said, as the foundation continues to grow. So far, it’s provided wheelchairs to about two dozen clients, but the list is expected to grow. “That (list) is growing exponentially,” Cairns said.

Picton-area port being given new life

By Jack Evans

The Picton area is not going to go down as just any port in a storm. The foresight of a Kingstonbased business family is transforming an abandoned loading dock into a major shipping terminal with results that are so huge, even its new owners are overwhelmed, Hastings County Council learned Thursday. In a presentation to council, Ben Doornekamp related his family’s investment of purchasing the former Bethlehem Steel property on Picton Bay just a kilometre or so out of Picton, refurbishing its original loading equipment and finding business opportunities far beyond what they envisaged when they bought the property. There’s also a matter of needing another $40 million to obtain modern unloading equipment to make the port more cost effective and capable of handling the needs of area manufacturers. He sees the future as a major port to serve all of eastern Ontario, competing with current facilities at Montreal and Hamilton. Attending coun cil to support his presentation were Prince Edward County Mayor Robert Quaiff, MPP Todd Smith and MP Mike Bossio. The scope of the project can be a major local economy game changer, with established interest by major industries throughout the region for both importing raw materials and exporting manufactured goods. The cost, for instance, of ship travel, is $3.50 per metric tonne per 500 km. compared to $560 per metric ton for heavy trucking…a saving of $200 million per year for the private sector in trucking alone. Coupled with that is a green factor spin-off

plus a saving in road maintenance. But Highway 49 will definitely see much more traffic, Doornekamp cautioned. It wiil also need to be rebuilt. He said when the company looked at the Belleviille area for port usage, he was amazed at the volume of manufacturing business the community churns out. When fully operational Picton Terminals can handle 100 vessels a year. Each vessel represents approximately 350,000 kilometres of heavy trauck traffic removed from area roads. Carbon emissions from ships are only 10 per cent of the equivalent in truck traffic also. The company estimates some 500 jobs will be involved in the new operation, including both new and retained jobs. Demand for the terminal so far has included local quarries, dement plants, grain and agricultural operations and several major manufacturers, such as the Napanee tire plant and Procter and Gamble. The ships can also avoid lengthy border crossing problems and delays by moving large quantities directly to major United States ports and other world-wide ports. His presentation generated much excitement around the council chambers and drew an immediate motion to support the operation and encourage both federal and provincial governments to help fund the necessary improvements, as they have done for other port developments. A property that has sat idle and abandoned for several decades is shaping up to be a major economic boost for the entire central Ontario region. Doornekamp also invited the public to tour the facility.

Bridge Street Church was crowded with about 90 players for a final rehearsal Sunday evening for a special concert combining Quinte Symphony and the Northumberland Orchestra. The concert, this coming Sunday, May 8 at 2:30 p.m., is a first-time event for both orchestras, presenting a concert that will justify musically their joining forces. Not only was the front of the church filled to capacity with dozens of players, the building was more than filled with the harmonic sound emanating from the enlarged orchestra. The program will include Poulenc’s beautifully haunting and inspiring “Gloria,” featuring a full choir plus soprano soloist, the Quinter area’s own Elizabeth MacDonald. Also on the program is the evergreen symphonic favourite, Mussorgsky’s, “Pictures at an Exhibition.” Tying in with that will be a display in the church of local art works from Gallery 121. An original Canadian clarinet concerto by M. Baker called “Concerto for Clarinet, Piano, Percussion and Strings,” will top off the program. Tickets, at $25 for adults, $20 for seniors, and $10 for students are available at the Quinte Arts CounJohn Kraus, conductor and music director for The Northumberland Orches- cil Office, Sam the Record Man in tra, leads the combined Northumberland and Quinte Symphonies through the Quinte Mall, online at www.thethe Poulenc “Gloria” Sunday evening in a final rehearsal in the player- quintesymphony.com or at the door.

Black plastic not recyclable, QWS says Quinte Waste Solutions is getting ahead of the gardening season to notify residents that black plastic is not recyclable, and is not accepted in the blue box. The gardening season produces a large amount of planters, pots, and even soil bags. And while a lot of these can be put in the blue box, there are rules. “The plastic processors who purchase this material from us do not want black plastic, or dirty plastic. It’s not recyclable,” said Dan Orr, Communications Coordinator for Quinte Waste Solutions. “The revenue we see from sales goes directly into our operating budget. If dirty or black plastic makes its way into the plastic we sell, it counts as contamination, and we see less revenue, which then has a direct effect on municipal taxes.” Other coloured planters and pots are accepted, but they must be clean, have a recycling

symbol with a number 1, 2, or 5 on them, and be free of hangers and handles. Stack the clean, non-black planters and put them in your blue box with your other clean plastic containers. Soil bags are recyclable, but they must be clean, dry, and stuffed into a bag with other film (soft) plastic bags, such as grocery bags. Place this bag of bags on top of your paper-designated blue box on reAs this illustration shows, black plastic is not recyclable. Submitted photo cycling day. “If you’re not willing to clean out these pots and planters, don’t put them in the blue box. Ask your garden centre or nursery if they will take back black plastic planters, or find ways ﬂyers. coupons. deals. cash back. to reuse them,” said Orr. “We’ve been talking about our operating budget for a few years now, and many savings come from how and what we all put to the curb on recycling day.” For more information visit quinterecycling.

A Visit to the Huron Historic Gaol in Goderich, Ontario

By John M. Smith

While in Goderich, Ontario, sometimes referred to as “the prettiest town in Canada”, and home of the world’s largest operating salt mine, my wife and I decided to take a tour of the Huron Historic Gaol, for this imposing octagonal building served as the County Jail from 1841 to 1972. There’s a lot of history within these walls, and it’s now a designated National Historic Site and operated in conjunction with the Huron County Museum. This particular historic “gaol” (the English spelling of “jail”) served the dual function of jail and courthouse until the County Courthouse was opened in 1856, and the first Huron District Council meeting was actually held right here on its third floor on Feb. 8, 1842. The governor, who was the head guard, lived right here with his family, on the second floor, until a wall of a courtyard was eventually knocked down and new, much more luxurious living quarters were constructed for them. This early 20th century Governor’s House, that’s attached to the historic gaol, is now a part of the tour. We proceeded down a long tunnellike entrance before arriving inside the

gaol and then ascended the stairs to the third floor to begin our self-guided tour. We learned that there were only 12 single cells in the entire facility, and 3 of these were reserved for women. The unique design of 3 cells per wing in each of 4 wings supposedly allowed segregation of prisoners according to sex and severity of crime, said to be a “revolutionary advancement in early prison reform”, but overcrowding and “slips” led to some serious difficulties here, at times. For example, we learned that although this gaol was originally meant to be a temporary holding facility for criminals, there was certainly a wide variety of “criminals” housed here, and the facility was also used to house the homeless and the insane. We visited the cell blocks, the gaoler’s first apartment, the kitchen, laundry, and surgeon’s rooms, and the inner courtyards, where prisoners could get some exercise while surrounded by the towering 18 foot rock walls that were also 2 feet thick and topped with loose stones. The prisoners were not to escape! We also discovered that there were many little anecdotes mounted on the interior walls of this historic gaol that detailed the background of some of the many prison-

ers who spent time here. We read of Richard, Prisoner #320, age 33, who was arrested on Nov. 4, 1852 for “drunkenness”, just 4 days after arriving in Canada, and he was released the following day. Somewhat similarly, Maria, Prisoner #1982, age 28, was arrested on June 22, 1866 for the use of “insulting language”, and she was also released the very next day. We read of William, Prisoner An exterior view of the Huron Historic Gaol. #1748, who was committed to the sons, and one of them was that it was Goderich Gaol on Dec. 14, 1864, age the site of Canada’s last public hang49, on the charge of “selling liquor ing, in 1869, and a colleague of mine, without a license”. He was released John Melady (a former Vice Principal on Jan. 13, 1865. at BCI) wrote a book about this in A more harrowing personal account Double Trap: The Last Public Hanging is that of Louis, Prisoner #6, age 29, in Canada.

Section B - Thursday, May 5, 2016

that James Donnelly had been imprisoned there, and when I began my teaching career in a Stratford high school (Stratford Central Secondary School), one of the books that I was required to teach was The Donnellys Must Die, by Anglican minister Orlo Miller. This is a look at a true event, the massacre of the Donnellys by a vigilante group, and it occurred in Lucan, Ontario (near London) in 1880. An area newspaper proclaimed that “the massacre of the Donnelly family, in the township of Biddulph, by an armed mob, is a crime which has no parallel in the history of Canada”. This book led to lots of interesting class discussion, and I’ll always remember that, one day after class had ended, the last student to exit my classroom came to me and confided that he was a distant relative of the Donnellys, and he thought that this was an important historical case and book to be studying! That has always remained with me. Yet another reason for visiting this gaol was that Steven Truscott had been there, too. Some of you may remember the famous case of that 14 year old boy who, in 1959, was found guilty of the rape and murder of his classmate and was to be hanged. I was told that as he sat in his cell, he could hear banging outside, and he imagined that someone was building his gallows! If you remember this case, you know that he was eventually acquitted of the murder in 2007. Tours of the Huron Historic Gaol are inexpensive ($7.50 adult; $6.50 senior), and during the summer there are even special interactive “Behind the Bars” tours available on Tues. and Thurs. evenings for $10.00 ($25.00 per family), with “actor prisoners” telling their stories.

LIFESTYLES

The Good Earth:

Pest management has rules, regulations

Dan Clost In Ontario, the regulations concerning the use of pesticides are clear. In a nutshell, pesticides are grouped into Classes, some of which we can purchase off the shelf (Class 11) while others (Class 7) will be locked in a cabinet or storage area. Class 11 includes products such as corn gluten and acetic acid-vinegar. Class 7 chemicals are available for specific, noncosmetic uses, e.g. glyphosate (aka Wipe Out, Roundup, and Glyphos) poison ivy management. There are some variations (Classes 5& 6) which are easy to understand but, not wishing to use up my allotted column space in reprinting pedantic legalese regs, I will give you two options to decipher them. The first is to take a moment to peruse our province’s pertinent website, (www.ontario.ca/page/ pesticides-home-lawns-and-gardens.) The second is to rely on the vendors to offer you an appropriate product. A pesticide vendor must attain certification through detailed training and examination in order to sell those pesticides. That certification permit will be publicly displayed in the store. So, Gentle Reader, chemical and biological interventions are available to you if that is the route you decide to take. I wish you wouldn’t look upon these products as your first line of defense but as something you might employ if other options were unsuccessful. Here are some of those options: 1. Redefine your standards. It takes a lot of input to maintain a pure stand of Kentucky Bluegrass. Sow a mix of bluegrass, fescue, and ryegrass letting the environment sort them out. A monoculture front lawn is attainable without herbicides if you’re willing to invest time by pulling out weeds mechanically. If you’re old and decrepit (I feel your pain) or reckon your personal time is best spent elsewhere, hire the kid next door to pull up the dandelions, plantain, thistles, etc. 2. Pay attention to cultural practices. What are the things you do now which can be modified to improve pest management not pest control? GR, as in B20

Section B - Thursday, May 5, 2016

life, control is an illusion and in the garden environment, control is an unrealistic objective. So, while an insect free front lawn is neither possible nor desirable, you can manage the herd by modifying your actions. Simple things like raising the blade height on the lawnmower makes your lawn less attractive to Japanese beetles: using endophytic grasses, e.g. some fescues and ryegrasses (bugs don’t like the taste, in the mix can deter billbugs from gnoshing on your

greensward. Using less fertiliser is also helpful. 3a. IPM is your guide for intervention. Integrated Pest Management is both an action and a philosophy for managing pests on your property. The key is to identify and monitor threats. If you see a plant that is deteriorating, e.g. a weak stand of grass or a shrub that is not thriving, address that issue before the bugs come along to take their advantage. When you do see bugs, identify them before eradicat-

ing the little buggers. A larval stage of the beneficial ladybug, for example, is a fierce looking chappie that fits well into a post-apocalyptic sci-fi flick where predatory bugs run rampant. Ugly is exo-skeleton deep. 3b. Intervene with the least intrusive and damaging management method available. (Don’t use the sledge if a tack hammer will do the job.) First question: “What will happen if I do nothing?” Second question: “Can I accept that outcome?” If “No.”, you

have two choices. Intervene or grow a different plant. If you grow plums, black knot will be along. Are you willing to implement an annual copper/sulphur spray regimen? No? Then buy plums at the farmer’s market and grow apples. There are always means to circumvent the regulations. If you choose that route, you are not a gardener; you are not a steward of this good earth which sustains us. You are part of the problem. You are not a Gentle Reader.

Climate Action March planned for Belleville May 14

Belleville – While the stories surrounding climate change can be unrelentingly grim – detailing fires, floods, droughts, severe storms and climate refugees – a local Climate Action March aims to lighten the topic with a spirit of fun at a family-friendly event. On Saturday, May 14, Quinte-area citizens are joining with people around the world united in the call for climate action. The goal is to remind global political leaders to keep the promises they made at the Paris Climate Talks last November. The march begins at the Bel-

leville Public Library at 11 a.m., and ends at South George Park on the Bayshore Trail. A traditional Mohawk opening and closing will be presented by Katsitsiase Maracle, grandmother and Cultural Advisor with First Nations Technical Institute. The wearing of costumes and gladrags will turn this march into a parade, to the delight of children and everyone. Participants are encouraged to bring signs about climate change and the upcoming transition from a fossil fuel economy, and groups are welcome to bring their group banners.

Bicycles, skateboards and stilts will make fine non-motorized parade vehicles – and, if decorated, will contribute to the carnival atmosphere. Close to the library, parking is available at municipal lots. At the end point, parking is ample. Accessible bathrooms are available at both the library and South George Park. For more information, contact Lindy Powell at 613-966-8676 or lindymaypowell@gmail.com) or John Lewis (Quinte Biosphere Defenders) at 613-475-5637 or john.travers.lewis@gmail.com .

Madness fishing derby Friday night, where the Hastings Revitalization Association (HRA) will also introduce their fishing line recycling program. “Things are going pretty well,” says HRA secretary Shannon Lawrence of the celebration plans. A “brainstorming” session at the Legion drew 16 people and produced “a lot of good ideas.” The party builds on established events like the Hastings Village Market and the community yard sale in the ballpark, which carry into the afternoon “There is a lot of excitement around the weekend,” says Lawrence. “One reason we’re not blocking the street is because Hastings has had enough of street closures. This is a street opening.” There will be a bouncy castle and cotton candy in the park from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and a decorated children’s bike parade at 3 p.m. The Hastings Legion will serve food from 3 p.m. until 6 p.m., then have a DJ from 9 p.m. until 2 a.m., with the HRA and the CampbellfordSeymour Community Foundation hosting an outdoor family movie night at dusk in the ballpark with popcorn, refreshments and glow bracelets for sale. Lawrence says buskers could be involved in the day-long event, which will include an official recognition by Parks Canada – perhaps a cake or ribbon-cutting. “Parks Canada wants to be involved.” Hastings Waterfront Festival vendors will be contacted and encouraged to set up in town. Lawrence will also talk to downtown businesses about a sidewalk sale. The festival itself, will hold a pancake breakfast Sunday morning. Other groups, like Community Care and the Hastings Library, will be asked if they’d like to participate. Organizers will also speak to the Community Refugee Project because the sponsored family will be settling in Hastings, Lawrence said. “It would be nice if they were at something large like this to provide information, so people know what to expect and kind of get rid of some of the fallacies.”

Tonnes taken out of fields, ditches, streams in Trash Bash

The Quinte area is a lot cleaner after more than 1,500 participants collected litter for the 16th annual Quinte Trash Bash Community Challenge that concluded on Saturday, April 23. Residents of Belleville, Quinte West and Tyendinaga filled eight large dumpsters and 14 recycling carts with materials collected from roadsides, parks and ditches. In ad-

dition to standard litter such as coffee cups and plastic bottles, event organizers reported mattresses, furniture, tires, bicycles, used motor oil and old car parts among the items pulled from public spaces during the event. “Some participants were so enthusiastic they’d come back to grab more bags and continue their cleanup,” says event volunteer For-

That same enthusiasm was displayed by local businesses and schools. Participation in the Business & School challenge, an event that ran during the week leading up to Trash Bash, more than doubled this year with over 600 volunteers and over 500 bags of garbage collected. It is always inspiring to see youth get involved in this event and this year was no exception. A record number of students from across the three communities bashed trash on Earth Day on April 22 and once again, Quinte Secondary School’s Leadership Class organized cleanup events at their feeder elementary schools. Thanks to Hastings & Prince Edward Public Health, Acklands Grainger and Rona, participants were well equipped for the task at hand with gloves, garbage bags and recycling bags. Quinte Waste Solutions provided recycling carts to encourage separation of plastic and aluminum. “Trash Bash participants and event volunteers did an amazing job sorting their recyclables this year,” praised Dan Orr, Communications Coordinator for Quinte Waste Solu(From left), Gary Magwood, Kim Payeur and Tom Lafferty worked the station at Belleville’s Market tions. “Thanks to them, 200 pounds Belleville parks department employee Jason Bellis lifts some garbage from a city truck to throw into Square, where they handed out garbage bags to Quinte Trash Bash participants.

DEATH NOTICE

Gosselin, Leonard Emile

February 25, 1932 – April 25, 2016 It is with great sadness that the family announces the sudden death of our dear father, Leonard, at Trent Valley Lodge, in his 84th year. Loving and devoted husband to the late Shirley. Father of Eric (deceased), and daughters Jennifer and Carolyn. Special father-in-law to Robin. Proud grandfather of Alexander, Gabrielle, Kathleen and Siobhan. Son of the late Joseph Emile Gosselin and Minnie Gregory. Dear brother to Jean McCosham and the late Joyce Sproul. Leonard started his working life with the RCAF as radio mechanic. He served overseas for several years until he retired to civilian life in Cornwall, ON where he started a family. Leonard later joined Alcan Inc. in Toronto where he worked through to his retirement. Len took great pleasure in walking through Presqu’ile Provincial Park, working in the garden, woodworking and spending time with his beloved Shirley, the love of his life. We wish to extend our sincere thanks to the many friends, wonderful neighbours and caregivers for their tireless support over the years. Mom, Dad and Eric, you are all together now in Heaven. We miss you today and always. Visitation will took place on Sunday May 1, 2016 at BRIGHTON FUNERAL HOME, 130 Main Street, Brighton, ON. (613-475-2121).

Family praised for Frink boardwalk gift By Jack Evans Plainfield - A new viewing deck as part of the boardwalk trail at the H.R. Frink Conservation Area near Plainfield was made possible by a donation from the family of the original pioneer landowner, the official opening was told last week. A half-kilometre boardwalk has been a feature of the popular park and outdoor education centre for about 20 years after being constructed over two years in 1995-97 by Friends of the Frink support group. Last year, the agency learned that many sections now need replacing so fundraising started. Thanks to a generous donation from the estate of

the late Peter Miller in memory of his late wife and brother, the project added a complete new section and octagonal viewing deck, named the Miller Wetland Ecology Boardwalk. Peter Courtland Miller, late of 282 Thrasher Road, was a great great grandson of one of the original landowners in Thurlow Township, Adam Henry Mott (1837-1920 and Nancy Hicks Mott (1844-1923) of Latta, who settled the land on the southwest corner of Bronk Road/Thrasher Road during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Both are now buried in Victoria cemetery, Bronk Road. Grandson of Miller, W. Mott, was one of the earliest principals of Fox-

boro Public School and first principal of Queen Alexandra School, Belleville (now the board of education offices.) Family history also ties it in with other prominent names, including Pitman, Canniff and Moore.

Peter Milerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former home backed onto the Frink Centre and he was always very interested in the activity surrounding the wildlife sanctuary and boardwalk and its significance to the outdoor education programs.

Several members of the family were among the almost 40 who attended the official opening April 28 and expressed their gratitude to the conservation authority for naming the deck in Peter Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory.

More than 40 people attended the ribbon cutting at the H.R. Frink Centre for the newly refurbished boardwalk. Photo Submitted
