G-Hawks claim Dudley-Hewitt, soar to the RBC cup By Erin Stewart Kirkland Lake – The Trenton Golden Hawks have claimed the Dudley-Hewitt Cup for the first time in franchise history. Thanks to a 28-save shutout performance by goaltender Daniel Urbani and a hat trick scored by Lucas Brown, the G-Hawks beat the Soo Thunderbirds, the 2015 Dudley champs, 4-0 in the championship final on Sat. May 7, in Kirkland Lake. Not only did the G-Hawks win the championship game, they swept the entire four game championship series. “I feel ecstatic it’s amazing,” said G-Hawks coach Jerome Dupont. “We’ve worked really hard to get here and to accomplish what we did so it feels pretty special… I’m incredibly proud of the boys and everybody in the organization.” Kevin Lavoie muscled the puck away from the boards to assist Brown in the first goal of the game fifteen minutes into the first period, also assisted by Liam Morgan. The T-Birds outshot the G-Hawks in the second period 10-7 but could not get a puck past Urbani. Brown scored his second goal of the night on the power play seven

minutes into the third period, assisted by Morgan again and Adam Clements. The T-Birds pulled their goalie with two minutes left in the third, resulting in Brown’s third goal of the evening on the empty net, assisted by Brandon Marinelli. Trenton’s Quinn Lenihan scored the team’s fourth and final goal on the empty net at 18:41, assisted by Keaton Ratcliffe. The Soo’s goaltender Connor Ryckman saved 33 of the 35 shots the G-Hawks sent his way. The G-Hawks faced 16 minutes in penalty time with eight minors while the Soo finished with 34 penalty minutes on nine infractions. “This just takes the cake, this group of boys are unreal, we went to war all season and now we’re going to the RBC Cup,” said Brown. “It’s unbelievable, I can’t even describe it in words it’s unbelievable.” G-Hawks star goaltender Urbani said winning the Dudley-Hewitt Cup is a phenomenal feeling. “Just from day one, from the start of the season through to the playoffs and the Dudley-Hewitt I think we’ve been great,” he said. Urbani said his shutout performance in the championship final was a good comeback win for him.

“In the first couple of games I wasn’t my best so to come here, I got to show what I’m made of.” Belleville native Hunter Fargey said words couldn’t describe how the team felt in the moments following the big win. “I’m pretty excited, it’s my last

year as a junior obviously so it’s a good way to end the career,” said Fargey. Fargey was named top scorer of the 2016 Dudley-Hewitt Cup Central Canadian Jr. “A” Championship with five points and Urbani was named top goaltender. Brown

Campbellford – Hockey mom and author of the book Lessons from Behind the Glass, hopes to score goals in hockey arenas everywhere with her message. Against the backdrop of the Stanley Cup playoffs, Allyson Tufts, of Belleville, continues to take the lessons she is promoting in her book to the big leagues. She was the guest speaker recently at the Campbellford Minor Hockey Association awards night and she brought with her not only some copies of her book, but her own perspective on how to make the sport less stressful. “I was honoured to be there. You could feel the hockey community in the room,” she noted. Taking her message to Hockey Canada and speaking at a number of hockey gatherings including Northern Ontario Hockey Presidents’ meeting in Thunder Bay, interest in her ideas soon came from BC Hockey and she and the organization are now working collaboratively on a project, the details of which are currently being kept under wraps. Tufts has worked hard to be heard. She got her chance when she was invited to Hockey Canada’s sponsorship summit, where she was a member of a panel and spoke on behalf of hockey moms. “The focus was on people’s experience with minor hockey,” she explained.

Dentistry from heart returns June 3 By Erin Stewart Trenton – Dr. R. Younes Dental Care is giving back to the community with free dental care during its fifth annual dentistry from the heart event on Fri. June 3. Community members 18 years or older who cannot get dental care elsewhere will have their choice of filling, extraction or cleaning performed at no cost. Younes said this event is the best way for them to give back to the community

“It’s a really rewarding experience,” Younes said. “It’s amazing, I can’t believe we’re in our fifth year, there’s a lot of patients that come and the atmosphere here is amazing, everybody is so happy.” Younes said they are going to have five or six doctors looking after patients during the event. Registration starts at 7:30 a.m. on the day of the event and patients are seen on a first-come, first-served basis. Tammy Angelo, reception

and administration at Dr. R. Younes Dental Care, said the past four years of doing dentistry from the heart has been very successful. “We’ve seen 420 patients in the four years we have done it,” Angelo said. “Our goal is to always see 100 patients if not more, one year we actually saw 121 patients… we’ve always seen every patient.” Patients will be asked to fill out a medical form during registration but there is no other criteria needed. W have it organized to do it all “We on tthat day so there’s nothing they hav have to worry about until that day,” Ang Angelo said. “There’s absolutely no ccriteria that we are looking for, you come, you need help and we’re here to help you.” Pa Patients are encouraged to arrive ear early, dress appropriately for the we weather and to bring chairs becau cause they may be waiting outside to bbe seen.

Dancing with the Stars Quinte will have base representation By Ross Lees They’re putting their best foot forward for Dancing with the Stars Quinte 2016. Jennifer Doering-Keiver and Ryan Williams, under the tutelage of France Maltais, are preparing to put their

talents out their against other similar teams in the Dancing with the Stars Quinte 2016 being held on Friday, May 22 at the Yardmen Arena in the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre in Belleville. A primary fundraiser for Volunteer and Information Quinte (VIQ), the event begins at 7:30 p.m.

current 8 Wing Honorary Colonel. One month into practice, the team has completed their routine and they are now working on their style, ironing out some things to make it smoother and concentrating on making them look like dancers, according to France. Both Jennifer and Ryan were tapped on the shoulder for the competition by Dianne Coyle, from VIQ, although Ryan jokes it took some arm twisting. “They’ve been asking me for five years and this was the year,” he said. “I always said I would do it when Dad did it, and he never did, so it just ended up being the luck of the draw here.” It was a similar story for Jennifer. “Dianne Coyle from VIQ asked me if I would be involved,” she recalls. “She was looking for a partner, because they partner us up, we don’t choose our own partners, and I was lucky enough to get Ryan.” Ryan admits to enjoying music and being a “self-proclaimed” dancer, but nothing like this competition requires. “It’s a different world, but it’s great! You think it looks easy, but it’s not. It’s been a lot of fun,” Ryan said. And a lot of work, both competitors agree, although they feel lucky to have France instructing them. “She’s just incredible with what she does,” Ryan noted. “Most of the fun is just learning something new with a great instructor.” Jennifer said it has been more demanding physically than she originally thought it would be but she feels the hard work by France is beginning to pay off. “France has put in hours and hours and hours of work behind the scenes in able to make us be able to do what we’re going to do on the 27th of May, so kudos to France,” she said. “We both love competition and France loves competition, so we’re 4

game for it and we’re really going to work hard to give everyone a show, that’s the most important thing about it,” Ryan acknowledged in an interview last week. France thinks the two dancers are preparing to turn into the home stretch now and really begin to put some polish on their performance. “I think the dynamic between them as well as myself as a teacher is really phenomenal. Every year, a different team brings something different to the play and I’m having a lot of fun with these two guys. It’s really, really been a joy to work with them and they’re very open-minded, which makes my life easy,” France stated. “These guys have put a lot of work into it, so it’s not just a lot of work behind the scenes from the teacher. It’s also a lot has to do with the collaboration of the team. The teacher can do all the work he or she wants to do, but at the receiving end, it has to be received well and put into practice,” she said. Twenty-eight days into practice, both Jennifer and Ryan and beginning to feel the result of their hard work. “I think we’re feeling good,” Ryan said. “It’s interesting listening to the other teams and hearing what they’re doing. None of us know what they’re doing or what their styles are or what we’ll be competing against and what you think you’ll be facing, and it’s tough for that, but I think we both love that aspect of it.” Jennifer said they would continue to work hard prior to the competition. “We’re just going to go out there and do our best performance and hope it will be entertaining for everyone and that we can raise a lot of money for VIQ and encourage people to attend so we can raise money for that cause, because it’s a great cause for the Quinte region,” she said.

Former Brighton residents among Fort McMurray evacuees By John Campbell Brighton – Former residents of Brighton and area were among the tens of thousands of people in Fort McMurray whose lives were imperilled by the enormous wildfire that forced them from the northern Alberta city last week. The evacuees included Tyler Hutchinson, the eldest son of Brighton Fire Chief Lloyd Hutchinson. “It was something else,” said the younger man who lost his condo and all his possessions May 3 before fleeing the city with his girlfriend Caylee Close and heading home, arriving in Brighton late Sunday night. With them was Lenny Dykstra, another Brighton resident, who lived with Hutchinson, Close and his brother Jeremy. Lenny Dykstra was picked up south of Fort McMurray where he had been working; Jeremy Dykstra was already home, having returned to Brighton for a vacation. Hutchinson estimates “upwards of 30 people” originally from Brighton have relocated to Fort McMurray. “We weren’t too concerned” at first when the wildfire was burning well outside the city but “all of a sudden the wind shifted” and drove the flames toward Fort McMurray, putting them in “imminent danger,” Hutchinson said. When the order came to evacuate, “there was no time” left to gather possessions. Hutchinson and Close made their way to another part of the city where a friend of his from Havelock, Bill Hay, lived and together

they headed south in separate vehicles in “survival mode,” leaving behind flames and smoke rising hundreds of feet into the sky. They saw trailers and gas stations exploding, sending flames “over top of us,” and all the while “big chunks of ash” were falling, Close said. The fire was a monster that kept doubling in size but the firefighters “did a wonderful job” combating it, risking their lives, Hutchinson said. “They knew they were going into the belly of the beast.” He compared what happened to having something “ripped from you” and “a way of life” you’ve known for 10 years being turned “upside down.” “It’s like part of your family died, it will never be the same again.” Lloyd Hutchinson said he became “very, very concerned” as his son described what was taking place as they drove through the city. His worry didn’t subside until they were out of danger “but it was pretty heartwrenching.” He stressed “a lot of people out there [are] from this area, not just Tyler, [and] they’ve all got pretty much the same story to tell,” about the losses they’ve suffered and the impact it has had. Tyler Hutchinson and Close were overwhelmed by the support they received from strangers on their way to Brighton, with many of their expenses being looked after by those touched by their plight. The generosity has continued since arriving in Brighton.

“Health hub” shouldn’t come at expense of hospital services; Our TMH By Stephen Petrick

TICO#50007364

Quinte West – A “health hub” being considered in Trenton is fine, so long as it doesn’t lead to further reductions in services at Trenton Memorial Hospital, says the group fighting to save TMH. Our TMH, a vocal group of concerned citizens, issued a statement on the topic on Wednesday, May 4, about a week after a presentation on the “health hub” was delivered at a Quinte Health Care board meeting. Marsha Stephens, chair of the THM Implementation Task Force, spoke to the board that governs four area hospitals, including TMH, on Tuesday, April 26. The presentation spoke about plans, still in the very early stages, to bring several health-care related agencies under one roof in Trenton. Among the options being considered was renovating Level 3 of THM and building an addition. Another option was building a new campus for both the hub and TMH. Our TMH members, who intensely monitor decisions of the QHC board, did their own research on the issue. They say the community is strongly opposed to the health hub if it means reductions in hospital services. Our TMH surveyed people at the Bay of Quinte Home Show on a recent weekend. One of the questions asked was: “Would you support a health hub as long as there were no further reductions in services at

TMH?” Ninety-seven per cent of people said “yes.” Another question was: “Would you support a health hub at TMH even if reductions in services being provided a TMH were still at risk?” Sixty per cent of respondents said “no” meaning only 40 per cent said “yes.” And, of this 40 per cent, 32 per cent of respondents did not live in the Trenton/Brighton community, Our TMH said. So, while the community seem to like the idea of a Health Hub as a way to improve patient care, they do not see it as an independent solution to a reduction in services at the TMH, the group insists. “The Health Hub would be a nice addition to a full service hospital,” said Mike Cowan, chair of Our TMH. “So Our TMH is staying the course – our mandate is to retain, protect and enhance the services at Trenton Memorial Hospital.” He went on to say that “the $4 million increase in base funding given to QHC by the Minister of Health back in April, should have sent a clear message to QHC that services are not to be leaving Trenton. So Our TMH is not backing down until we have guarantees that

QHC will stop removing services from our hospital.” When Health Minister Eric Hoskins delivered that $4 million, QHC was also given instructions to “pause” on the moving of surgical services from TMH to Belleville General Hospital. The Task Force looking into a possible health hub was started by

the South East Local Health Integration Network. QHC is one of many partners involved. The others include the Belleville/Quinte West Community Health Centre, Brighton/Quinte West Family Health Team, Victorian Order of Nurses, and Addictions and Mental Health Services Prince Edward-Hastings.

OPINION

The real reason for the gala season

The other Clinton presidency Shortly before John Kasich dropped out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination, leaving Donald Trump as the only candidate, the Ohio governor put up a spoof video on the internet. Modelled on the old-fashioned intro that scrolls up the screen at the start of Gwynne Dyer each Star Wars movie, it envisioned a future in which Trump won the candidacy, lost the presidential election, and left Hillary Clinton triumphant. Titled “Our Only Hope,” Kasich’s video began: “Upon defeating Donald Trump in the largest landslide since Reagan in 1984, President Hillary Clinton is preparing to name her newest Supreme Court justice, Elizabeth Warren. (House) Speaker Nancy Pelosi is planning new tax hikes, hoping that Senate President Chuck Schumer and his new Democratic majority can swiftly get it to the President’s desk for her signature.” “New executive orders restricting the Second Amendment are being drafted while increased federal spending on Obamacare is readied. Meanwhile, our allies across the world are swiftly losing faith in America’s role as a global leader, empowering our enemies and leaving America in a more dangerous position. But we have hope it can be different.” It was a roll-call of all the nightmarish things that Republicans fear a Clinton presidency would do: create a “liberal” majority on the Supreme Court, raise taxes, bring in gun control, and spend more money on health care for poor Americans. Kasich, of course, was the “Only Hope” to prevent this disaster. (It was his video, after all.) If Kasich didn’t get the Republican nomination, according to the video, then Trump would win it, but then lose the national election and put Hillary Clinton into the presidency. That would be followed shortly by dragons, plagues and strange portents in the sky, leading to the full-on End Times during her second year in office. Well, Kasich is out of the race, Trump will get the Republican nomination, and Clinton will win the presidency by a landslide, just like the video says. Not only that, but the Democrats really may win control of both houses of Congress. Hillary Clinton probably will create a liberal

majority on the Supreme Court, tax the rich a bit more, and expand the Affordable Care Act (what Republicans call “Obamacare”). She probably will tackle gun control, too, although you should not hold your breath while awaiting a positive result. She will certainly push on with Obama’s initiatives on climate change and add to them. (She talks about wanting “half a billion more solar panels deployed in the first four years.”) But will she do anything genuinely surprising? It would be astounding if she did. Hillary Clinton is “a safe pair of hands,” not a radical. On foreign policy, she belongs to the “Washington consensus,” so she is suspicious of Russia and Iran, reflexively pro-Israel, and uncertain what to do about China. She resents the fact that people still bring up her vote in support of George W Bush’s invasion of Iraq in 2003, but it does highlight her inability to think outside the box that the rest of the consensus is trapped in at any given time. She takes the standard liberal positions on practically every domestic issue from gay marriage and abortion (cautiously pro) to immigration (no mass deportation of illegals). She has talked about the need to reform the rules on political campaign finances, but would have trouble in getting that through even a Democratic-controlled Congress (“the best Congress that money can buy”), and might just decide not to waste her political capital that way. If all this makes Hillary Clinton sound like a profoundly unexciting president, that would not bother her a bit. Nearly three decades of experience with the political game at the highest level has reinforced her natural tendency to think only in terms of incremental change, and her whole approach to politics is managerial, not transformational. She will not rock the boat. This is perhaps not such a bad thing in a peacetime national leader, and the United States really is at peace, despite the small overseas military commitments that entail an occasional military casualty. It is perhaps especially not a bad thing in the First Female President in American history, just as it was not a bad thing for her predecessor, the First Black President in US history. When you are setting a new precedent for who can hold the office, steady competence is a better advertisement for the new rules than high excitement. It’s also the best way to assure a second term in office, which could also be within Hillary Clinton’s grasp if the Republican Party splits either before or after the electoral debacle that, with Trump as its candidate, now seems almost certain. Although that would make her 77 at the end of her second term.

It’s gala season – or it was. Most of the $100-plus per plate fundraisers have wrapped up for the spring and, by our count, there have been as many as five or six. Having attended three of these the past couple months, I can attest to the immense amount of work that goes into the planning and launching of each. But, along the way, you get the real reason we pull on a suit or evening gown for the cause. Kerri Marten was one of the MFRC ‘ambassadors’ who attended the Trenton Military Family Resource Centre Invisible Ribbon Gala last Saturday at the National Air Force Museum. It’s a brilliant stroke to include someone at each table, as the MFRC did, who is vested in the benefits of the MFRC, or any organization that is presenting a gala fundraiser. Each table had the opportunity to ask the ambassadors, many of them spouses of military personnel, about the impact and challenges and triumphs of military life on their families. Marten, who is soon pulling up stakes to move to the Maritimes on yet another military move, is the wife of a military firefighter and she shared some of her story with those of us who shared a meal with her last Saturday: “I love this life we signed up for, I didn’t mention to you that my husband got the call to join the military on September 11, 2001. It was just before 9 a.m. that he was on the phone being told he was accepted as an MSE OP (mobile support equipment operator) and should report later that month to start his training. The recruitment officer he was speaking with asked if he was watching TV and she told him he might want to turn it on after they got off the phone. Crazy day… As a Corporal, Larry remustered to firefighter and I moved to my parents’ in Niagara Falls while he trained in Borden. Although we saw him every weekend and the kids got time to be with family in our hometown, that was the most difficult time to be apart from him and I was thrilled when we were posted to Trenton in June 2009. I was a part of the Trenton MFRC Board of Directors when we created the slogan “Together We are Stronger” and it definitely rings true. We have been here almost

seven years – time has flown by as it would being a part of the Air Force. “Her Majesty’s Dockyard Halifax is going to be different for us but I know we will make the most of it.” Many of the ambassadors had heart-rending tales to tell, but few could match that of Linda Blanchette, who shared a table with Metroland Media. According to Blanchette, “The Trenton MFRC saved my life – they gave me my life back.” Blanchette also serves as vice-chairwoman on the board of directors, for the Trenton MFRC. She was also recently nominated for a Prime Minister’s Volunteer Award. Her husband has Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). “This disease, it can destroy everything – it can take everything,” she said. “It’s a struggle, living with this disability,” she explained. “Often, people don’t realize the things you have to give up and it’s not just the individuals that have to give these things up – it’s the families too.” Blanchette’s husband, Joss, served with the United Nations police and in places like Bosnia. He was taken hostage for 24 hours at one point. While he survived, he didn’t come home the same man, Blanchette explained. Later, Joss suffered a heart attack, which the Blanchette family soon learned, was in part due to his PTSD. Not knowing where to turn, Blanchette was desperate and one day, in the early 2000s, she walked into the MFRC. “This was the start of my healing,” an emotional Blanchette said. “They gave me a voice.” The gala season can be a grind, almost, for the deep-pocketed in our communities who are almost expected to “pony up,” as one auctioneer put it at a recent gala. But, when one hears of the personal stories, the sacrifices and the joys and triumphs that result from the fundraising efforts, it makes shrugging on a suit and tie, mess kit or ball gown all the more effortless.

Cheers! Craft beer event was a hit Quinte West - The Old Church Theatre held its first craft beer tasting this past Saturday featuring craft brewers and cider producers from the local area. Old Church owner Lesley Bonisteel is hopeful that this will become an annual event. “We have a good crowd of people, many coming from out of the area.” The event also featured smoked BBQ from M&E Smokepit, available only at The Old Church. Rett Wills provided live music and a visit from Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison’s visit rounded out a successful day. Many guests who came to sample a few of the craft beers decided to make an afternoon of it remarking on the warm atmosphere of the venue. “I didn’t even know this place was here and it’s almost in my own backyard,” said one guest, surprised at the long list of upcoming entertainment. A highlight for the beer makers was a group photo at the top of the ‘tower’ at the end of the day. For more information about events at the Old Church Theatre go to their website, oldchurchtheatre.ca

MFRC Invisible Ribbon Gala lands a stunning $145,406 By Ross Lees CFB Trenton - The hottest ticket in town was given a little extra “spark” by 8 Wing Commander Colonel Colin Keiver Saturday night. At the very beginning of the Trenton Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC) Invisible Ribbon Gala at the National Air Force Museum of Canada, Keiver donated a cheque of $25,000 to the MFRC and, while that donation kicked off the evening, it was ultimately gravy on a massively successful fundraiser. When all was said and done, MFRC executive director Tamara Kleinschmidt announced that $145,406 had been raised on the evening, shooting last year’s total of $87,000 down in flames. “That not only beats last year’s total, it totally blows it out of the water,” said an ecstatic Kleinschmidt. “If that isn’t an indication of what a wonderful community we have, I have no idea what is.” This new highest total ever garnered through a Trenton MFRC Invisible Ribbon Gala was just confirmation of a statement earlier in the evening by Major Leo Phillips, the chair of the MFRC Invisible Ribbon organizing committee, who said, “This is going to be the biggest and best gala so far.” The largest annual fundraiser for the Trenton MFRC, the Invisible Ribbon Gala supports services for military families while their military spouses are deployed around the world and, this year, the funds will go to open three new locations in Belleville, Batawa and Frankford. It was another announcement that Kleinschmidt was pleased to make during the evening. “As of this week, we have located and confirmed a site for our Belleville MFRC,” she said early in the evening, adding it was a 7,200 square foot space that would include childcare spaces, and expanded services like deployment support, employment and education services, and mental health services. “Now our families living in Belleville will have a place they can call their own,” she stated. Keiver, after presenting his surprise cheque

of $25,000, noted that 8 Wing could not function as efficiently as it does without the assistance of the MFRC. “Our ability to be busy is highly reliant on the MFRC and their assistance to our families,’ he said. “Without that, we would not be able to send these men and women off to do whatever it is they do.” Just this past week, he said, they had sent airplanes west to help battle the forest fires in Fort McMurray. “That’s a good thing because it means I was so busy I couldn’t set any fires of my own,’ he joked. That was a theme guest speaker Major-General David Wheeler, 1 Canadian Air Division Commander, was more than happy to pick up on, alluding to some of the fires Keiver had started and calling him “Sparky.” But Wheeler noted that he had moved 15 times in his Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) career and that only something like 14 short years earlier, few people in the military even knew about MFRCs. In that time, they had grown immensely and had continually expanded their service so that families moving The 330 guests at the Military Family Resource Centre Invisible Ribbon Gala Saturday night at the National Air Force Museum of into a new community could easily find in- Canada enjoyed the special ambience of the venue. Photo/Ross Lees formation on schools, doctors, dentists, specialists, spousal work potential, where to get your driver’s license changed and many of the other little things required in a move. “The MFRC is critical,” he said. “They make up for the service the Air Force can’t provide. I have people at work and I want them at work, not worrying about that other stuff. They can’t be thinking about what’s going on at home. That translates into mission success for me.” Apart from the delicious locally-sourced meal prepared by Chef Michael Hoy, silent and live auctions kept the evening hopping as people jockeyed for the many super prizes offered at auction like the Quinte International Air Show package, the Cuban escape for two, the fine dining opportunity on the base, a VIA trip for four to Quebec City including a two-night stay at the Quebec City Marriott Hotel, a chance to experience being a SkyHawk for a day, and the chance to be experience a day in the life of a Snowbird. Please see Page 18 for related story. Col. Colin Keiver, 8 Wing Commander, and 8 Wing Chief Warrant Officer Darcy Elder present an unexpected cheque of $25,000 to Tamara Kleinschmidt, the executive director fo the Trenton MFRC.

HWY 33 TRENT RIVER

GLEN MILLER ROAD

Harrowing tale of survival with the help of MFRC By Sarah Hyatt Quinte West – “The Trenton MFRC saved my life – they gave me my life back.” This was the message Linda Blanchette was eager to share Saturday, May 7, at the 12th Annual Invisible Ribbon Gala, as a gala ‘ambassador.’ Blanchette also serves as vicechairwoman on the board of directors, for the Trenton Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC). She was also recently nominated for a Prime Minister’s Volunteer Award. Her husband has Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). “This disease, it can destroy everything – it can take everything,” she said. Blanchette and her husband to date can still not go to a movie theatre. It’s too dark and with all the commotion, her husband can’t handle it. “It’s a struggle, living with this disability,” she explained. “Often, people don’t realize the things you have to give up and it’s not just the individuals that have to give these things up – it’s the families too.” Blanchette’s husband, Joss, served with the United Nations police in places like Bosnia.

He was taken hostage for 24 hours at one point. “I didn’t even know, until the CBC called me that day and asked me how I was feeling,” Blanchette said. While he survived, he didn’t come home the same man, Blanchette explained. Later, Joss suffered a heart attack, which the Blanchette family soon learned, was in part due to his PTSD. “All of a sudden, I had to teach myself about all of this,” she said. “There wasn’t the help available back then, there is now.” Joss suffered his first heart attack in 1998. Not knowing where to turn, Blanchette was desperate and one day, in the early 2000s, she walked into the MFRC. “This was the start of my healing,” an emotional Blanchette said. “They gave me a voice.” Blanchette recalled feeling as though she was “drowning,” as she sat down to talk with Eve Lawrence. “She said she’d help me, if I did the leg work.” Blanchette knew there were others out there suffering, drowning in silence and in need of help. While their stories and trials may

be different – they were all together of a peer support group to help the in this battle. families and those suffering with So Blanchette, in conjunction with PTSD. the MFRC, spearheaded the start She kept spreading the word, “I’m here if you need me, 24/7 – I’ll help you.” A few weeks later, a stranger called her home in the early hours of the morning. The woman was terrified. Her husband was suicidal. Blanchette stayed with this woman until 6:30 a.m. that day, before having to leave for work. After work, she returned to this woman’s home to support her. And with that, the peer support group began to evolve. “In the military, the goal is, we leave no man behind. Well, with this, we don’t leave families behind either.” During this time, Blanchette was healing helping others – she was helping heal herself, learning about PTSD and who she was as a person. A few years passed, and then, someone from Ottawa took note of what Blanchette had accomplished. Linda Blanchette, serves as a gala ambassador About 10 years ago, someone from at the 12th Annual Invisible Ribbon Gala, hosted OSISS – the Operational Stress Inby the Trenton Military Family Resource Centre, jury Social Support - came to take on Saturday, May 7, at the National Air Force Mu- a closer look at the local group. seum of Canada, in Quinte West.

dreds of local families to date. Blanchette has impacted a lot of those families, said Tamara Kleinschmidt, executive director for the Trenton MFRC Saturday evening. “It’s been wonderful working with her,” Kleinschmidt said. “She’s an inspirational volunteer. When I’m having a bad day, she makes it better – I think about her and what’s she done and that’s reason enough for it to be a good day.” Communications co-ordinator for the MFRC, Devon Taylor and Kleinschmidt agree Blanchette is more than worthy of her recent recognition as a nominee for the Prime Minister’s Volunteer Award. The MFRC nominated Blanchette for the award. “This recognition is very well deserved,” said Taylor. Blanchette is continuing to try and spread this message in coming months and plans to distribute a book, on behalf of families and through the MFRCs. The book will be a compilation of stories from families who will share their struggles with PTSD. Funds will be returned to the MFRCs. Soon after, Blanchette will be pushing to have the book sold in bookstores.

Surrey B.C., Lisa Brokop has made a distinguished career for herself as a singerStirling - Raised in a musical family in songwriter. She brings her new album and show, “the Patsy Cline Project” to the Stirling Festival Theater on Saturday, May 18 for a 2 p.m. matinee and an 8 p.m. show, with a pre-show dinner package available in the evening. “I’m a real fan of Patsy Cline,” Brokop enthused in a telephone interview last week from her home in Nashville. “She did great songs.” She described audience reactions from some of her early tour dates in Western Canada recently, with seven of nine houses sold out and two others almost full. “You could see their eyes light up at favourite Cline songs. You don’t hear those great old songs much on the radio now.” Starting as an all-round chanteuse with a wide range of classic ballads, Brokop gradually swung over to county music hits. She also developed a talent for song writing herself with solid success. Her show tour includes a few of her own songs sung in the style of Patsy Cline. Bringing her own guitar along,

Letter to the editor Let the Memories and Traditions Continue. A move to Seasons means more time enjoying yourself and less time spent worrying.

What’s good for the goose… The Editor Do you remember the recent story about the Conservative MPP Jack MacLaren? He made misogynistic, sexist, crude comments to Liberal MP Karen McCrimmon at a March 24 cancer fund raiser in his riding. It was totally unacceptable. Kathleen Wynne went into a tirade wanting MacLaren punished. Insisted Patrick Brown kick him out of caucus. Brown acted on this and sent MacLaren to sensitivity training, plus he was removed from caucus and stripped of his legislative appointments. Wynne told the Star “I would fully expect no one in my caucus would make such a comment ever and I’ve never had to deal with such a thing.” Well, guess what? This is another untruth from Kate. Last Tuesday she revealed she

has had to deal with allegations of sexual harassment against two Liberal MPP’S since becoming leader in 2013. When asked the names of the MPP’s, what was the outcome, are they still in caucus, she suddenly has nothing to say. Imagine. She had a lot to say about MacLaren. She is citing confidentiality. What hypocrisy. What a double standard. What a slap in the face to women. And then there is this rube Bob Chiarelli, the chauvinistic energy minister. He told the NDP leader Andrea Horvath during question period last Wednesday that “She pees all over the map.” according to Hansard. Of course he said he didn’t say it. But why apologize for something you say you didn’t say? This isn’t Chiarelli’s first faux pas. Last year when the Auditor General, Bonnie Lysk criticized the smart meter fiasco, his patronizing remark was “some of those from the A.G.’s office found electricity complex and difficult to understand.” This was an attempt to ”dumb down” a woman who spent 10 years in senior roles with Manitoba hydro. Kate says “she stands by her man.” Kathleen Wynne’s Liberals need to clean up their act. The OPP have just launched another criminal investigation involving a proposed wind turbine project. Stay tuned. The blatant attitude of “DON’T DO AS I DO, DO AS I SAY” has got to go together with this regime.

Cat champions ready to help stray cats on CFB Trenton By Ross Lees CFB Trenton - A group of military personnel, led by Cpl. Tanya Logan, is preparing to be the champion for animals on 8 Wing/CFB Trenton. If you are having a problem with animals in any way, rather than seeing the animals destroyed, Cpl. Logan would like to be contacted so she can see if she can come up with a humane solution with a good result for the animals. She and a group of other people on the base have rescued 14 cats and kittens from the base in support of an organization called Fixed Fur Life (FFL), established in 2004 by Darlene Quinsey. The group actually started to come together through what they refer to as Operation Kitty Cat. Cpl. Logan began being contacted about stray cats being spotted on the base and, once verifying they were indeed there, she began live-trapping them to help get them out of the reproductive cycle. Through FFL, the cats or kittens are neutered or spayed and then put up for adoption. Cats rescued through Fixed Fur Life are not euthanized unless they are already too sick or ill. Known by friends and proudly wearing the mantle of the “Crazy Cat Lady”, Cpl. Logan just wants to rescue cats from feral living and perhaps find homes for them, preferably in another home other than her own, where she already has a number of rescued cats. In fact, Cpl. Logan even suggested at one point that Darlene Quinsey would have to intervene on her behalf to take several kittens she had recently rescued but did not have the heart to give them up for adoption. “If you know of cats living in the wild on the base or in private married quarters (PMQs), call me and I’ll save their lives and hopefully we’ll help stop the reproductive

cycle,” she said. That is exactly the same goal that helped Quinsey establish FFL – the use of an aggressive spaying and neutering program to reduce pet overpopulation while enforcing a “no kill” policy. FFL does not have a shelter, according to Quinsey.

“We operate on a network of foster homes and adoption centres,” she said. “This allows us to have one-on-one interaction with the cats and dogs that come our way and also provides each with the hands-on care they need as well as preventing disease outbreaks that are prevalent in shelter environments.” This caring organization is run entirely by volunteers and donations, she stated. To date, FFL has spayed or neutered and

assisted 19,256 cats and dogs in the Quinte region. The largest fundraiser is an event called Strut for Strays, being held this year at West Zwicks Park in Belleville on June 4 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Details for the event can be found at www.fixedfurlife.com Donations can also be made on line or mailed to P.O. Box 20091 Belleville K8N 1P0.

Fish on! Walleye Derby wet, windy and wild By Melyssa Gloude Despite the pressures of Mother’s Day weekend, the Bay of Quinte was filled to the brim this Saturday and Sunday with amateur anglers looking to catch big fish -- and even bigger prizes. The 36th annual Kiwanis Walleye World Fishing Derby kicked off at exactly midnight on Friday and thousands of prospective fishermen, women and children took to the Bay in hopes to land a legendary fish. This year’s hunt for the largest walleye and a slew of tagged prize fish saw anglers face stiff winds, high waves and tough conditions. Venturing into open water was a challenge for many smaller craft and by Sunday, with a stiff westerly blowing, many of the anglers in small boats left their vessels on their trailers. The event itself has it’s own unique set of challenges, says the chair of the derby, Remco de Gooyer of Walleye World. “Planning is a huge process,” says de Gooyer. “We start planning every

year in August because have to get everything in motion well before Christmas. We start getting the tiny wheels moving early to get the big wheels moving later.” With the Bay of Quinte and surrounding areas being part of ‘Fisheries Management Zone 20,’ de Gooyer says that folks in the area have the advantage of being Ontario’s ‘season opener’. “It’s the first region to open for Walleye fishing in the province. That’s why we say that season starts here: we’re the only ones able to do legal fishing as the first zone that opens in the spring.” Ticket sales opened on Friday and were available until 11:59PM. As early as midnight, fishermen were able to cast their lines. At that point, de Gooyer says, “If you aren’t registered and you catch a big fish, you won’t get nothin’,” Prior to the derby, more than 150 tag fish were released with prizes ranging from $1,000 to $20,000. “What’s unique to us this year is our Leaderboard,” says de Gooyer. “It’s in real-time: so all of our weigh

stations have laptops to input data immediately. The public can access it at all times.” As the largest amateur fishing event in North America, the Derby draws quite the crowd from all over Ontario, but all profits stay within the community of Quinte West. “The biggest thing that we do with the funds raised is try to help out kids that can’t do things on their own,” says Kiwanis President Pierre Lauzer who has frequently been involved in the the Derby for past years. At 5 p.m. Sunday, the big-time winners were announced: David Chong took home the Senior Pike prize with a fish weighing a whopping 14.5 lbs whereas Kingston’s Richard Durston won the sought-after Senior Walleye Prize with a fish weighing 12.89lbs. The electronic leaderboard will remain active for those who wish to check out next years’ big competition. For access to the leaderboard and prizes, please visit www.kiwaniswalleyeworld. com

Durston says that he’s been coming to the Derby since it started in Napanee. Shaking with excitement, he says it’s his first time being this close to winning. “I’ve had maybe had two hours sleep all weekend,” he says. “I found a good spot, so maybe next year I’ll have two boats!” Photo by Melyssa Gloude

Quinte West News - Thursday, May 12, 2016

World floorball championships set attendance records By Stephen Petrick Belleville – Canada may have won silver on the floor, but the efforts made to host and promote the World Under 19 Women’s Floorball Championships were worthy of gold. That seems to be the sentiment of city officials and everyone connected to the event, which wrapped up on Sunday, following three years of promotion. The 33 matches played at the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre drew a tournament record of 15,800 fans.

That’s not too shabby, considering the event marked Belleville’s first attempt at hosting a world championship level sporting event and it marked the first floorball world championship to be held in North America. A single-game attendance record of 3,151 was also achieved when Canada opened the tournament on Wednesday, May 4 against Japan. Organizers of the tournament were greeted with a standing ovation at the Monday, May 9 council meeting after Mayor Taso Christopher praised their efforts. “You make us all very, very, very proud,” he

said. “You bring nothing but pride to the community.” One of the lead organizers, Brett Davis, said the event was a “smashing success. “You look at it from the opening, to the fallout of the games, to the ways the audience was responding, it was unbelievable. I now think the floorball has a place in our existence.” Canada drew good crowds to all five of its games. More than 1,000 were in the stands for the B-division final against Germany and they cheered wildly when Canada made a late comeback, only to lose on a winning goal scored with 30 seconds to play. That defeat, while heartbreaking, didn’t damper the overall positive experience for Canadian players and the City of Belleville. Team Canada captain Hannah Wilson, one of six Quinte-area athletes on the team, sounded upbeat after the loss, after weighing all her emotions. “I got to represent my country and my hometown. That was awesome. You

can’t take anything away from that … I made some bonds with these girls that I think will last a lifetime. I’m proud to have played with each and every one of them.” She also praised the crowds. “There’s something about a home crowd that lifts you up and pushes you to get those last couple goals.” Canada coach Todd Crawford sounded a little more frustrated after the loss, saying that “inconsistent refereeing” cost Canada the game. The final goal was scored on a wild goalmouth scramble in which a Canadian player was knocked over. But, thinking about the tournament as a whole, he had positive things to say. “The City of Belleville is the big winner here. The sport of floorball is going to be well received here in the future. That’s why we brought the tournament here.” Davis said he wouldn’t rule out attempting to bring another world championship event to Belleville in the future. “I’ll take a month and maybe reflect; look at taking on another championship maybe somewhere down the road,” he said. “But I’m not making a decision now.

Local Mental Health branch celebrates 30 years and a Trillium grant By Terry McNamee Belleville — Thirty years ago, the Canadian Mental Health Association, Hastings and Prince Edward (CMHAHPE) Branch was founded to enhance the mental wellness and quality of life for people. At its celebration held Thursday, May 5, the event was enhanced with the presentation of a Trillium Grant by Prince EdwardHastings MPP Todd Smith. The event, held at the Greek Hall in Belleville, was attended by more than 100 people. “We’re just thrilled,” said CMHA-HPE Executive Director Sandie Sidsworth. “It’s celebrating 30 years, we’re announcing the Trillium support and we’re moving forward to our accreditation.” Sidsworth said this $287,100 Grow grant will make an impact in supporting the first Suicide Bereavement group within CMHA-HPE, by giving those who deal with the complex grief around the loss of a loved one to suicide a safe place to share their grief. The grant also helps the individual counselling program to hire two full-time The Canadian Mental Health Association, Hastings and Prince Edward (CMHA-HPE) Branch received a Trillium Grant as well as recognition of its 30th anniversary in a celebration at counsellors.

Mental health issues have affected us all, directly or indirectly, and having an organization like CMHA-HPE there to help is a great asset to our community.” Sidsworth said there is a need for mental health counselling, both for those afflicted with problems and their families and friends. “We see between 700 and 800 people a month,” she said. “It’s a huge amount of people. “This is about community. It’s about making everyone feel that mental health is an issue we can talk about at any time.” To find out about the many programs run by the branch, including helping people recovering from mental illness get back into the workforce, teaching people about suicide prevention, and finding transitional housing for people who are homeless, visit the website at www. hastings-cmha.org or phone 613-9659-8874.

Joint symphony draws huge crowds By Jack Evans Players and supporters of both Quinte Symphony and The Northumberland Orchestra and Choir are basking in the glow of two hugely successful concerts last weekend. The joining of forces of the two neighbouring orchestras was months in the making, focussing on some major symphonic repertoire that neither orchestra could cope with on its own. The venues were a big United church in Port Hope, which drew a near capacity crowd on Saturday evening, then Bridge Street Church in Belleville, where another near capacity crowd attended one of the most successful concerts for several years.

The program opened with a contemporary Canadian work, “Akasha,” by Glen Buhr of Winnipeg, first performed by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra in 1989. The title is a Sanskrit word meaning sky or space, and the orchestra sounds immediately called to mind the great outdoors. On to another Canadian work by Vancouver-based Michael Conway Baker “Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra.” The two movements span a reflective but beautifully melodic larghetto followed by a vivacious and witty “vivo.” Northumberland conductor John Kraus, who presided at the podium for the first half, described the work as demonstrating “heart line and lyricism.” The audience obviously agreed, with generous applause for the scaled-down orchestra and soloist Michael Lyons.

delightful was the 11-movement “Pictures at an Exhibition,” by Modest Mussorgsky, based on an actual art show by a friend who was a painter. The stunning conclusion, a rush of orchestral sound, brought the audience bounding to its feet for a sustained and thunderous standing ovation that seemed to be for the entire concert. The score included a rare appearance at a symphony concert of a saxophone, played by John Kraus. Already, officials of the two orchestras are discussing getting together again. The concept has certainly proven to be a crowd pleaser.

Quinte native soprano soloist Elizabeth McDonald sparkled for the “Gloria,” by French composer Francis Poulenc. Richly spiritual in flavour for orchestra, soloist and choir, the work often seemed to reflect Russian themes. The 30-minute, six-movement work is said to be “packed with emotion, pensive reverence and repose,” with the composer showing his Catholic roots, although he was said to be not a religious person. Quinte Symphony’s own Dan Tremblay took over for the major work which took up the second half. Rousing, complex and

Dan Clost It’s time for guidance counsellors, teachers and students to look at Green Collar Careers. Folks, the horticultural trade takes in many disciplines from carpentry to architectural design, from equipment operation to industrial math, from hard slugging days of “pick it up, move it there, put it down, do it again” to showing your clients the finished product. This is not a career path for slackards or floaters. It requires hard work, intelligence and determination. It is a career where all of your values are put into practice, where going green is not just a catchy phrase and it is not for the faint of heart because your work is on display for all to see. Your work is almost always outside. When the weather is so cold that many

Green-collar careers

layers of clothing hamper your movement, you’ll be outside pruning trees or pushing snow; when it is so hot that only cultural conventions of decency prevent you from stripping down to the all-together, you’ll be laying concrete pavers or tamping down screenings; when the very heavens open up and dump the entire contents of Lake Ontario soaking you through to the skin and you can’t work in the gardens; you’ll find busy work somewhere elselike moving decorative boulders; and, when the weather is as perfect as the bestest of June days, you’ll find yourself filling out paperwork in some stuffy office.

Now THAT’s entertainment By Jack Evans Stirling - When you’ve sat through, laughed through and been royally entertained by “On a First Name Basis,” it’s easy to write a glowing review. Such is the case for the Norm Foster play, which ran last week in the Stirling Festival Theatre. If you have to ask who Norm Foster is, he is Ontario-born, Maritime-raised, Canada’s most performed playwright with some 50 shows to his credit so far and more to come. Adding a high note, Foster himself played the lead role in this show, which also featured a vivacious blonde, Patricia Vanstone, as a maid in love with her unloving employer. There are only two people on stage throughout, but what a pair! Lines fly and bounce with the audience in chuckles to outright laughter at many points. When Vanstone as the maid opens an expensive bottle of wine, Foster as David, the mature, sophisticated famous writer chides, “Did you let it breathe?” “Breathe!” replies the maid, “I’m about to give it mouth to mouth resuscitation.”

Learning with shock that he pays his maid $97,000 a year, Foster, as David, milks the same line several times, a la Jack Benny, getting hearty laughs every time. Foster’s work has always drawn happy crowds to various productions throughout the Quinte area, and this one is sure to come back via various amateur companies in the months and years ahead. Those who have seen the author himself with his tall, stage– commanding presence, will have something to compare them to. The plot is simple. The maid has worked for a slovenly author for 28 years and he doesn’t even know her first name. In deciding to find out more about her on an otherwise quiet evening for him, he gets hung up on the “second” man in her life, which turns out to be himself. This show is a keeper and will probably continue to draw audiences as happy and appreciative as that at the opening matinee in Stirling last week. As for a playwright acting in his own shows: Shakespeare did it frequently. And Foster actually performed as an amateur actor before he decided to write plays himself.

8 Wing responds to Fort McMurray fire tasking By Ross Lees CFB Trenton – A C-130J Hercules aircraft departed from 8 Wing/Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Trenton just after noon on Wednesday to assist in whatever way might be required at Fort McMurray in the wake of the massive fire which hit that community. The initial response personnel from 8 Wing was small, including only the aircraft crew, three Mobile Air Movements Sections (MAMS) personnel and an image technician. According to 8 Wing Commander Col. Colin Keiver, 8 Wing, under the direction of MajorGeneral D.L.R. Wheeler in Winnipeg, has been tasked to move the aircraft and personnel to Cold Lake to pre-position them as close to Fort McMurray as possible if and when they are required so that the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) assets are in place and ready to go to work. “We’ve not been tasked with anything else,” Col. Keiver stated. “What we’ve done at the Wing is we’ve put a C-17 and an Airbus crew and airplanes on standby and there are a bunch of people here at 2 Air Movements who are also on standby to go as well. This operation will be about moving things, either into Fort McMurray or out

of Fort McMurray. It’s these airplanes that will do that and these people – like the Air Movements technicians – that will help get those things on and off the airplanes. That’s what we’re posturing ourselves to do right now.” Beyond those instructions, Col. Keiver and the personnel at 8 Wing know little except they want to be ready to respond to any eventuality. “I don’t know what we’re going to move, when we’re going to move it or how much we’re going to move, but we’re getting ready to move. We’ve got a big empty hole in the back of that airplane and what we decide to put in it is what we decide to put in it. It could absolutely involve evacuees and I don’t know what the state of that is right now, but I expect it’s going to involve a little bit of bringing things out of Fort McMurray and bring things into Fort McMurray to assist the community.” The people tasked to go on the initial flight are well qualified, he said. “Even getting into Fort McMurray through the smoke coming in, there will probably be instrument procedures required to get in,” he said. “At the end of the day, what we will do is we will still be safe and effective and we’ll still accomplish the mission.”

Ontario faces “epidemic” of deaths from prescribed drugs: doctor By Stephen Petrick Belleville – The number of people dying from non-intentional overdoses of doctorprescribed drugs amounts to an “epidemic” said a Kingston-based medical officer of health in an impassioned presentation to the Hastings Prince Edward Public Health board Wednesday, May 4. Dr. Kieran Moore, an Associate Medical Officer of Health for the Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington Health Unit, delivered some startling facts in a presentation on the “opioid epidemic in Ontario.” Opioids are medications that relieve pain, such as morphine, codeine and oxycodone. In Ontario there were 5,383 non-intentional opioid-related deaths from 2002 to 2014, Moore said. The data does not apply to intentional overdoses, as those are considered suicides. There’s no recent data on this subject for the Hastings-Prince Edward region, Moore said, however up to 2010 the region was experiencing about five opioid-deaths per

year. “Those numbers have gone up, I promise you,” he said to the board. Moore’s presentation served as a call for the medical community to address this issue, as currently there are few regulations to ensure doctors are not over prescribing drugs. For instance, he said, doctors who prescribe an opioid drug to a patient have no easy way of learning whether that patients has other prescriptions from other doctors for the same type of drug. Moore said if these deaths were happening in hospitals, committees would be formed to see how they could have been avoided. But “because they’re happening in our community, there’s no oversight.” He added that one in eight deaths among people aged 20 to 35 in 2010 were related to opioid drugs. That means more people from that age demographic are dying from prescribed drugs than in motor vehicle collisions, he said. “We don’t have good physician oversight, Dr. Kieran Moore delivered a presentation on “Ontario’s opioid epidemic” to the Hastings Prince Edward Public Health Board despite being in this epidemic for 14 years,” May 4. Moore said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Up in flames

Dear Editor, Fort McMurray is on everyone’s mind these days. It’s literally on fire. The pictures on the news are frightening and have been likened to the Apocalypse. People are fleeing their homes, driving through engulfing smoke and flames, while fireballs bounce off their vehicles. Some are recording this horrifying, fiery escape with dash camcorders. It’s like we are there too, amidst the hell bent conflagration. They are surrounded by soaring, flaming evergreens that once decorated the vast expanse of highway that enabled residents to travel to Edmonton in two hours. Now with the mammoth human evacuation fleeing for their lives, it takes ten hours driving on this lone road out of town. How can we really know their terror? This fire has a mind of its own and fleeing their homes to save their lives and those of their family is paramount. What little they can salvage is all they may have left of their lives there. Talk about refugees! We in Canada hardly discern the meaning of the word, except to

bring them to our country when we can. I’ve heard some of our recent Syrian refugees have offered the furniture they were given on arrival to help their Canadian counterparts. Welcome to Canada, dear people. I just read a post on Facebook today by a young father who stated that the only thing that was important to him was right beside him and that was his FAMILY. God bless him. You know, he’s right, but it’s hard to lose everything and have to start over. That fire is still blazing, licking its angry flames at our brave firefighters from all over Canada; trying to pull airborne water bombers into its cruel blistering inferno, endangering more brave Canadians. Courageous people from all walks of life have journeyed to Fort McMurray to help with the safe evacuation of almost 80,000 inhabitants. Food, water, gas and other supplies have been donated from across our country. Towns along the way to Edmonton have opened up their hearts, their homes, and their community centres to house people that need rest, food and lodging. I just saw a post from a gentleman who owned safe houses nearby who was

offering them to families who needed shelter - free gratis. My daughter-inlaw, who has five young children, just came in and said she had donated $5 to the residents of Fort Mac and if every family did it would help a lot. We know that their city will be rebuilt in time, but there is a lot of money and effort that has to go into it before that happens. There is a lot of heartbreak that has to be dealt with, and a lot of frustration that will be evident before people have their housing etc. replaced. Not everyone’s home will be burnt to the ground, but those that aren’t will be smoke damaged and heaven knows what else will have to be repaired. Some good advice, again on Facebook, was for people to keep all their receipts for hotel expenses etc, because the Insurance companies would come good for them because it was a forced evacuation. I believe the young father, who celebrated his family’s safety and rejoiced, has the right idea. God bless him and all who are walking this path to safety. Marie A. Leavey Kelleher Campbellford

TRAVEL

Cycling in St. Louis’ Popular and Attractive Forest Park

By John M. Smith While in St. Louis, Missouri, I wanted to explore its large urban park, and I decided that the best way for me to do this would be to hop on a bike. I found that there were both paved and gravel recreational paths, and they led me to a number of the city’s great attractions. This particular destination, located right in the heart of St. Louis, is one of the country’s largest urban parks, larger even than New York’s renowned Central Park, so the two-wheeled exploration was a good choice. There are even bike rentals and guided tours available through City Cycling Tours (www.citycyclingtours.com). There are also lots of joggers, walkers, and inline skaters using these trails, so you’ll have company. In fact, there’s now a plan to make a dual-lane, divided trail to relieve congestion and improve safety within this popular park. I learned that this became a park back in 1876, and it has hosted a number of significant events, including the 1904 World’s Fair (known then as the Louisiana Purchase Exposition) and the 1904 Summer Olympics. I was told that the grand park went through a time of decay and misuse later, but in the last decade, a$100 million restoration and beautification project has successfully brought it back. This project has been so appreciated by the locals that they now like to brag about this park, use it frequently, and proudly make certain that it’s kept clean. As I rode along, I was amazed at the lack of litter. Indeed, this park was almost immaculate!

I passed by meadows, forests, streams, ponds, and several man-made lakes on my tour of the park. I also passed a skating rink, tennis courts, handball courts, 3 golf courses, and several sports fields. However, one of my favourite scenic spots just had to be Forest Park’s Grand Basin, for it’s lined with classical promenades and several fountains that propel water high up into the air, and it’s very popular with paddle boaters, too. It’s also the very place where the majority of wedding photos would take place! And overlooking this Grand Basin is the magnificent St. Louis Art Museum, which contains more than 30,000 incredible works of art and galleries that range from ancient artifacts to the very modern. Just outside this building stands a large bronze statue of an armoured and mounted King Louis IX of France, preparing for battle (the Apotheosis of St. Louis). I also particularly liked my ride past the Muny, for it’s the nation’s oldest outdoor theatre. This popular venue has been producing Broadway-quality musicals since its opening in 1917, and it’s still a tradition for some of the locals to arrive very early and try to get some of the back 1,500 seats that are always offered for free. If you snooze, you lose! Directly in front of the Muny was the Pagoda Circle, a circular drive around a lake (Pagoda Lake) with an island, and on that island was the restored Nathan Frank Bandstand, with its white marble and its bronze railings. Another highlight in this park has to be the Missouri History Museum, with its 16-ton statue of Thomas Jefferson just inside its doors. This mu-

WOOD HEAT SOLUTIONS RECOGNIZED WITH CENTRAL BOILER SALES ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS Wood Heat Solutions, a Frankford-based Central Boiler dealer, was recently honored at the biennial Central Boiler Dealer Convention with 2014 and 2015 Silver Sales Achievement Awards.

For more information about Central Boiler outdoor furnaces, please call Bob Chesher at 613-398-1611. You may also send e-mail to bobchesher@sympatico.ca or visit centralboiler.com.

The Missouri History Museum is located within the park

seum offers a look back at the 1904 World’s Fair in one exhibit and a detailed examination of the history of the city of St. Louis in another. Yet another not-to-be-missed park attraction is the McDonnell Planetarium, part of the Saint Louis Science Centre, for it hosts monthly stargazing events and enthralling exhibits about living in space. An enclosed footbridge will lead you to the main building, and as you cross the highway, glass floor panels show the vehicles whizzing by below, and radar guns record their specific speeds for you. A ride through the park will also take you to the entrance to the St. Louis Zoo, one of the top zoos in the country, with its more than 20,000 animals, its train ride, its Hippo Harbour, Sea Lion Sound, Penguin and Puffin Coast, and its especially popular Children’s Zoo, where there’s a see-through slide

through an otter pool and an area where kangaroos play right alongside an indoor playset. If you enjoy gardens and flowers, then you’ll want to visit the park’s Jewel Box, too, for you’ll find rose gardens and lily ponds outside (in season)and a plethora of exotic flowers and plants inside the greenhouse. You’ll also find a statue of St. Francis of Assisi and a memorial dedicated to veterans of the Korean War. It’s rather amazing that this one park offers so many worthwhile attractions, and what makes it even more impressive is that most of these are free! Entrance to the park itself and to such major attractions as the St. Louis Art Museum, the Missouri History Museum, the St. Louis Science Centre, and the St. Louis Zoo are all free! Even the parking is free! If you decide to take in a visiting, on-loan art display, or go to a special attraction within the Zoo, such as the Children’s Zoo, then there will be a modest fee, but for the remainder, these places are free! That’s COACH & TOURS pretty rare in today’s world. After exploring this awesome park and completing my bike ride, I discovered that another way to see the park and its attractions would have been to take a narEXPERIENCE THE ROAD TO rated tour by trolley ($22.00).

OPP warn of new CRA tax scam

Centre Hastings - Over the last week Central Hastings O.P.P has received numerous complaints indicating that a telephone tax scam is circulating in the area. Police said Friday, April 29, a resident of Marmora and Lake contacted police after she responded to a telephone call from a man claiming to be employed with the Canada Revenue Agency. The scammer alleged the resident owed back taxes and that she needed to repay her debt by purchasing prepaid credit cards and gift cards. Through repetitive phone calls that were harassing in nature the resident felt intimidated to follow the scammer’s demands which resulted in her being defrauded of thousands of dollars. The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre cautions the public of “Tax Scams” where fraudsters attempt to scam consumers and businesses by impersonating the Canada Revenue Agency. Taxpayers should be vigilant when they receive, either by telephone, mail, text message or email, a fraudulent communication that claims to be from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requesting personal information such as a social insurance number, credit card number, bank account

number, or passport number. These scams may insist that this personal information is needed so that the taxpayer can receive a refund or a benefit payment. Cases of fraudulent communication often involve threatening or coercive language to scare individuals into paying fictitious debt to the CRA. Other communications urge taxpayers to visit a fake CRA website where the taxpayer is then asked to verify their identity by entering personal information. These are scams and taxpayers should never respond to these fraudulent communications. Police have issued the following tips: Warning sign(s) - How to protect yourself Do not take immediate action. Verify that what you are being told is the truth. Ask yourself why the CRA would be asking for personal information over the phone or e-mail that they likely already have on file for you as a taxpayer. Contact the CRA to confirm that you in fact owe back taxes, or are entitled to a refund. For more information about Fraud Scams involving the CRA visit the Canada Revenue Web page at www.cra-arc. gc.ca/scrty/frdprvntn/menueng.html

Yoga helping students cope with stress, prepare for exams By John Campbell Campbellford – They tried it and they liked it. A lot. Now yoga is part of the routine for the Grade 10 girls’ personal fitness class at Campbellford District High School, with the help of a $700 grant from the Ministry of Education. The money, made available through the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Association’s Try Day program, was used to purchase yoga mats, blocks, belts, pose cards and a DVD set. The equipment was bought for the girls’ class but phys. ed. teacher Tracey GeeConte said she hopes it will be used by other phys. ed. classes as well as staff and students, during lunch and after school. “The idea is to make the equipment as accessible to as many people in this building as possible,” she said. Many students have told her yoga “makes them feel really relaxed [and] they can always focus a little bit better the rest of the day, if they’re feeling stressed or anxious L-r, Maddy Dafoe, Hailey Palmer, Neve Walker-Moores, Shelby Kelly, Sarah Kiar and Eden Kelly demonstrate a yoga pose.

about stuff,” such as upcoming exams. It’s “a calming part of their day,” GeeConte said, and it also improves their flexibility. The Try Day initiative is designed to introduce students to a new sport or activity and to get young people more active. It also stresses the value of lifelong physical activity. “We clearly have a limited budget,” GeeConte said, so “that little extra [funding] goes a long way.” The Grade 10 girls’ personal fitness class is new and “it’s been hugely popular,” with 55 girls enrolled in the course, she said. Some girls “aren’t interested in the traditional sports and competition as much as they are their own personal health and fitness.” Yoga instructor Lori McNally was brought in last week for one class to demonstrate different poses and stress relief techniques. Yoga is “very important for concentration, it helps kids to focus,” she said. “You learn to train your mind to filter out all kinds of stuff that’s going on around you.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Landlord joins group to avoid ‘being eaten alive’ Dear Editor, The rules in Ontario surrounding residential housing have trapped landlords in shark infested waters and have made low cost housing inaccessible to most good low-income tenants. Let me tell you why. I am a small landlord in Belleville, Ontario, with 19 residential units that I rent out. Approximately half my tenants are on Ontario Works (OW) or Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) and the other half work in mostly low wage factory and service industries. Advocacy groups for renters have, and have had, a much stronger voice in influencing the legislation, regulations, and processes regarding residential rental housing in Ontario. Landlords have not been as well organized until now. The current environment is driving landlords to join together will other local landlords, as I have with the Quinte Landlord Association, to avoid being eaten alive. All small landlords now know that the current legislation and Landlord Tenant Board tribunal (LTB) is a broken system and the rules that were ostensibly set out to protect tenants have choked off the availability of affordable rental units and raised rents to everyone. In most recent Landlord Tenant Board tribunal hearings that I have

attended the adjudicator has prefaced the hearings by pointing out that their objective is to keep tenants in their units as long as possible. They have been true to their word. The standard of proof and adherence to all technical requirements in disputes is infinitely higher for landlords than it is for tenants. Adjudicators will argue for tenants and pull apart every infinitesimal detail in a landlord’s application even if the tenant does not show up to dispute a landlord’s application. I have personally had the experience of an adjudicator erroneously construing a $7.00 error on my Notice (N4) in order to dismiss my application to have a tenant who owed $8,400 in rent. It took three attempts and almost a year to have the tenant removed. The timelines to get a hearing are also extending longer and therefore increasing the loss to the landlord. The process is broken, broken, broken! Though these are considered “Justice Tribunals” they are clearly not just. They are pursuing a policy with the intent of helping a particular segment of the population (though failing at it) and they are quite willing to sacrifice common notions of “justice” to achieve them. The most obvious proof that the current system does not work is to simply look at the quantity and age of the current rental housing stock, especially if we look at the lower cost

rental units. With the exception of rental units for students—which follow a separate set of rules under the Residential Tenancy Act—there is very little new residential rental units being built. Under the current rules it simply isn’t economically feasible to build new for the purposes of renting. Also, when a landlord now rents out to a new prospective tenant they have to employ two major strategies. The first is to be so stringent in terms of proof of adequate income, rental history, credit rating, employment, etc. that no low-income person will qualify and, secondly, the landlord has to charge a high enough rent to cover the costs of those tenants who do not pay and who damage units and whom they cannot easily remove. I would be able to charge each and every one of my tenants $200 per month less if I knew I could remove a problem tenant within one month. The bias to keep tenants in their units for a longer period of time regardless of whether or not they pay rent costs all tenants more. The Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing has to consider that the continued biases in the legislation and the LTB proceedings eventually determines the behaviour of tenants in the community. Almost all landlords have had the experience of having a tenant who knew they could not be removed easily and therefore made no effort to pay rent, willfully destroyed properLeaseBusters.com is the largest ty, and acted with vehicle lease marketplace in Canada. impunity.

Rotary spelling bee helps promote literacy By Stephen Petrick Belleville – These kids were i-n-c-r-e-d-i-b-l-e. Incredible. Several Rotary Clubs from the region got together on Saturday, May 7 to hold an Inter-Rotary Spelling Bee at The Greek Hall in Belleville. The event featured 39 students from schools throughout the Quinte area. All of these students had won Spelling Bee competitions at their own schools, to qualify for the Inter-Rotary event. Kai Siggens, of St. Gregory Catholic School in Picton, was the winner in the early-morning junior competition, which featured 20 competitors. The Intermediate competition was won by Aaron Harvey of C.M.L. Snider School in Wellington.

He took home the top prize after a long battle with Katie Giradeau, a finalist from Prince Charles Trenton. The final round had several stages and; among the tricky words the finalists had to spell were: fluoride, epidemic and discretion. The Belleville, Brighton, Quinte Sunrise, Trenton and Wellington Rotary Clubs contributed to this event. First place came with a prize of $100 for the student, plus another $200 for the student’s school. One of the organizers, Jill Yarnell, said the Spelling Bee is one of many projects Rotary clubs are involved with this year as part of a campaign to promote literacy. She praised the efforts of all the students, who she said were “amazing.” “You’re the crème de la Aaron Harvey, of C.M.L. Snider school, spells a word from the podium at the Greek Hall while competing in the Inter-Rotary Spelling Bee. He would win the intermediate competicrème,” she said. “And tion. Photo by Stephen Petrick don’t ask me to spell that.”

Hot Diggity Dogs – it’s flyball season

With the warmer weather a feeling of excitement and restlessness starts to come over the Hot Diggity Dogs (HDD) with the kickoff of their 2016 Flyball Season. That “spring fever” can be credited to the excited anticipation of the upcoming public performances. Their high-energy demonstrations of flyball, high jump, and the talent show at local events during the summer and fall months are sure to please and

entertain. Flyball is a relay sport, fun for you and your dog. Four dogs to a team are raced head to head across a 51-foot course that is set with a series of four hurdles. At one end is a “flyball box,” that releases a tennis ball when the spring catch is pressed by the dog. The dog then carries the ball back over the hurdles to the start line. The next dog in the team then runs the course. The

winning team is determined by which team successfully completes the race first, with the fewest or no penalties. Hot Diggity Dogs Flyball Club (HDD) was started in 1999 by Natalie and Denny Cornell with the philosophy Everyone Gets to Play. The club trains in Quinte West at an indoor training ring with a diverse membership. HDD compete against other teams from all over Canada and the United States

in sanctioned flyball tournaments traveling to Quebec and all over Ontario. What makes this club so well-known is their continued presence at local fairs and charity events. Hot Diggity Dogs kick off their 2016 performance season at the Barks By The Bay event May 28 at Trenton’s Centennial Park. Look for their trademark bright green uniforms at local community events near you

this season. Just follow the sound of barking dogs and cheering crowds and you’ll be sure to find the dogs. For more information about the Hot Diggity Dogs Flyball Club call 1-613398-0002 or email Natalie at natrat@ explornet.ca. Follow the group on Facebook or the website, hotdiggitydogs.info for public performance dates and some great flyball pictures.

Buddy plays flyball like a pro. He’s one of numerous dogs who participate in the Hot Diggity Dogs group, which is preparing for a new season of tail-wagging fun. Submitted photo

Major new stars for jazz festival Prince Edward County – As summer approaches, most people have long lists of things they’re looking forward to – vacations, swimming, fishing, camping golfing, reunions, travel. But summer also brings the annual Prince Edward County Jazz Festival and this year’s lineup promises to be one worth catching. Featured will be Emilie-Claire Barlow, who stole the hearts of audiences with her remarkable and sophisticated jazz stylings three years ago, making a a comeback, now with newly-acquired Juno status, plus Robi Botos, also now a Juno winner and a participant for the past few years. Each one has captured two out of three eligible jazz Junos this year plus other recognitions. The festival runs Aug. 18-21 at various locations throughout The County, with main stage events in The Regent Theatre, Picton and the annual and very popular jazz mass in St. Mary Magdalene Anglican Church on the closing Sunday. Brian Barlow, creative director, said: “The entire festival this year is steeped in Juno, Gemini and even Grammy winners and nominees. The lineup also includes Joe Sealy, Jackie Richardson, Mike Murley, Guido Basso, Bernie Senensky and Barlow himself. As proof that jazz is keeping up with the times, Barlow notes the average age of performers is getting younger, now at less than 40 with a solid lineup of TD Young Jazz series participants . “This jazz festival is alive, well, hip and going places,” he added. As usual, the festival opens with a

lecture, this time by Guido Basso, called “Backstage in Conversation,” on Tuesday, Aug. 16 at 7 p.m. in The Baxter Centre, Bloomfield. Wednesday, Aug. 17 is Jazz Overture with the Mark Eisenman Trio and Phil Dwyer at 5:30 p.m. at the Waring House, Picton. Emilie-Claire Barlow hits the

Regent Theatre stage on Thursday at 8 p.m. With two Juno jazz album awards plus seven nominations and11 albums to her credit so far, Barlow places herself squarely in the front of jazz anywhere. The legendary Guido Basso takes the Regent stage on Friday, Aug. 19 at 8 p.m. with friends for a rousing

Friday night concert. Saturday, Aug. 20 at 2 p.m. Robi Botos and Judi Proznick are freatured in a concert at St. Mary Magdalene Church, followed in the evening at The Regent by Africville, with Joe Sealy and Jackie Richaradson, the jazz story of Canada’s oldest black community

in Halifax. The jazz mass is at 10:30 a.m. Sunday with a closing concert at 8 p.m. at The Regent, a “big band burner” featuring all of Canada’s best musicians and a salute to Frank Sinatra. For tickets or information, visit: www.pecjazz.org
