It’s fans like these that help bring home champions

By Erin Stewart Trenton – Many people say the Trenton Golden Hawks have the best fans in the league and that’s largely because of the fans like perennial drum-banger WayneBaril and dedicated super fans like 16-year-old Nick Scarr.

“I have season tickets,” Scarr said in a telephone interview before the G-Hawks first RBC Cup game on Sat. May 14.

Scarr had plans to go watch the G-Hawks game at the viewing party that evening, but one G-Hawks game isn’t always enough for one day.

“We watch them all day long … at least one everyday,” said Scarr’s mother Mandy Scarr, mentioning that the G-Hawks third game against the Georgetown Raiders in the Buckland Cup Championship series was currently on pause in their home on the online site, Fast Hockey.

Nick was unable to make it up to Kirkland Lake to watch the GHawks win the Dudley-Hewitt Cup, but the team brought him back something special.

“I got a signed t-shirt of the team,” Nick said, and when he put the tshirt on to wear to school the next day he said “I’m going to wear this all day long and everyday.”

Nick said he’s really happy the G-Hawks have made it to the RBC

Cup. Mandy said he even likes the chant “RBC! RBC!” not only while watching the games.

“We’ll be driving and Nick’s yelling that at the back of the van,” she said.

The Crazies It wouldn’t be a proper G-Hawks fan story without mentioning some of fans best known as “the crazies,” the group of fans who like to take up their seats next to the penalty box at home games.

Dan Everette, 26, and Dave Fairfield, 33, are the creators behind the popular Facebook page “The Hawks Nest,” where they post all of the latest Golden Hawks news.

“They keep saying we’re the best fans in the league so we just want to keep showing them that that’s true,” Everette said.

Everette and Fairfield both agreed that this season has been outstanding and they said the team is always kind and takes the time to talk with fans.

“Win or lose, I’ll be here when they come back from Alberta/Saskatchewan to congratulate them because they deserve it.” Everette said.

“Every player on the team has earned it, from Urbani all the way out, this is probably the best team we’ve probably ever had,” said Fairfield.

“Good luck, we’ll be cheering from home with the rest of G-

Hawks Nation… we’ll be waiting for you,” Fairfield said. “All that’s left to say is ‘Go Hawks Go’ and bring the RBC Cup home.”

“I’m speechless, I’m just so happy, I’m thanking everyone that chipped in, it’s so nice,” Baril said a couple days before his big trip.

Baril promised he would do his best cheering for all G-Hawks fans as the Golden Hawks compete for the RBC Cup national junior “A” championship.

“I’m going to cheer on these guys just like I did every single game through the year, Go Hawks Go!” Baril said. “I will be cheering for everybody back home as loud as I can, I’ve got lozenges, I’ve got everything I can to keep my voice in good shape.”

And of course, Baril kept his cheering promise.

He did such a fantastic job at cheering that he was awarded the Fan of the Game award after the G-Hawks first game against the Brooks Bandits on Sat. May 14, when the Hawks won 3-2.

It’s not a surprise Baril caught the attention of the announcers on the Fast Hockey live game stream,

Baril made sure to tell the announcers that the G-Hawks have been number one all year and they will be number one at the RBC as well. He also explained how the community sent him to the cup and said thank you again.

“Wayne has been a dedicated fan of hockey, in particular the junior teams from back at far as I can remember,” Harrison said after Baril’s interview. “I’ll tell you, he has been a great guy to be with, an ambassador of hockey in our city and you couldn’t ask for anything any better for the team and the city.”

G-Hawks forward Mitch Emerson said the fans in Trenton are unlike any fans from other teams he has played for.

“It’s pretty crazy here, it’s too bad not everyone has the chance to play in Trenton,” he said. “The fans here are so dedicated and they’re a huge part of why we are where we are today.”

Hard works pays off for TCS students You’ve heard of a walk-a-thon, but how about a work-a-thon? Trenton Christian School families held a work-a-thon recently.

It’s similar to a walk-a-thon in that students will ask for pledges from family and friends, but instead of gathering to walk, the students go out into the community to do approximately two hours of community service work at no cost to those they are helping. This could be helping seniors with yard clean up or cleaning garbage out in our local parks or roadways. On Saturday, April 30 almost 40 families came out to participate in the second annual TCS work-a-thon. Together, the students received $15,200 in pledges for TSC. Submitted photos

St. Paul Catholic School gives their heart and a hand up for Fort McMurray residents

By Kayla Empey Trenton - The giant wildfire is no longer destroying Fort McMurray, but it has taken a great toll on the City.

On Wed. May 11, St. Paul Catholic School came together to raise money for the damage done to Fort McMurray.

Students were encouraged to donate a mini-

mum of $2 to be out of uniform for the day and wear red in support of the Canadian Red Cross.

“It think it is really wonderful that the community is coming together and I think it will really touch the people of Fort McMurray,” said Hannah Jones, a Grade 10 student at St. Paul.

“I have family that lives there so it means a lot that we are doing this,” she said. “I’ve been praying for them.”

OPINION

Unravelling the Brazil impeachment mess Q: What’s the difference between the coup that overthrew the elected government in Thailand in 2014 and the coup that has now removed the elected government in Brazil?

A: The coup-makers in Thailand wore uniforms.

SenGwynne Dyer ateThehasBrazilian just voted 55 to 22 to impeach President Dilma Rousseff. She will be suspended for the next 180 days while the same body tries her on the charge of understating the size of the budget deficit before the last election.

If two-thirds of the senators find her guilty, she will be permanently removed from office.

Since they have just voted to impeach her by a bigger majority than that, we may take it for granted that she is a goner.

Two justifications have been offered for this unseating of an elected president, but both of them are pretty flimsy. The first is the legal justification, which is that Rousseff’s government tweaked the accounts a bit to make Brazil’s financial situation look less bad before the last election in 2014.

She did, but which elected government anywhere does not try to put the best face on its figures? Anyway, nobody believes that this is the real reason for her removal from power.

The broader political justification is that she has made a mess of the economy. The economy certainly is in a terrible mess; in each of the last two years it has shrunk by four per cent, one-tenth of the population is unemployed, and inflation is exploding, but every big commodity-exporting country has been in the same mess since the global financial crash of 2008. The demand for their exports simply collapsed.

Rousseff didn’t create this crisis, but inevitably she gets the blame for it. That, rather than some obscure legal issue, is why nearly twothirds of Brazilians think she should be impeached. But while she might have done better at managing the crisis, in a democracy political questions like this are normally settled by elections, not by impeachment.

The 55 senators who voted to impeach her all know that, but they couldn’t resist the temptation to take her down. Which brings us to the

real motive behind all this, and the worrisome comparison with Thailand, where the generals took over in 2014.

The Thais, like the Brazilians, evicted their military rulers from power in the 1980s by nonviolent political action. As is bound to happen in a democracy, both countries then developed powerful political movements that demanded a redistribution of wealth in favour of the impoverished half of the population. And in both countries the prosperous urban middle classes mobilised against this threat.

The hopes of the Thai poor were focussed on Thaksin Shinawatra (prime minister 20012006) and later, after the military forced him into exile, his sister Yingluck Shinawatra (prime minister 2011-2014). In Brazil the leftwing leader was Luiz Inácio “Lula” da Silva of the Workers’ Party (president 2002-2010), and subsequently his close ally Dilma Rousseff (president 2010-2016).

In Thailand the struggle between the rural and urban poor (the yellow shirts) and the defenders of the economic status quo (the red shirts) descended into the streets early, and had got quite bloody by the time the generals seized power in 2014. They intervened in favour of the red shirts, of course, but they seem determined to hold on to power themselves for the forseeable future.

Brazil’s politics have been less violent and the military have not intervened (yet), but it is just as much a class struggle, made more intractable by the fact that in Brazil social class is colour-coded. The white half of the population is mostly prosperous, the “pardo” (mixed-race) and black half mostly poor.

Nobody will admit that this crisis is about ending government subsidies for the poor, but the crowds demonstrating against Rousseff’s government have been almost entirely white.

So is the cabinet sworn in by the new interim president, Michel Temer. But Temer is going to have a very hard time running the country.

Outraged Workers’ Party supporters are already being radicalised by the “coup” that has driven Dilma Rousseff from power and the struggle is moving into the streets.

Mass demonstrations and barricades are now a common sight, and the protesters will find it hard to resist disrupting the Olympic Games that start in Rio de Janeiro in early August.

Which may provide the excuse for the Brazilian right to welcome the military back into power.

Editorial - Stephen Petrick The Trenton Golden Hawks are in pursuit of the RBC Cup this week, and after the tournament maybe the next thing a hockey fan around here should hope for is another Rolf Nilsen meltdown.

Nilsen is the disgraced owner of the Ontario Hockey League’s Flint Firebirds, a franchise that was relocated a year ago from the fellow Michigan city of Plymouth.

Nilsen created hockey headlines last November when he fired his coaching staff, apparently over the ice time his son was getting.

Hakon Nilsen was a defenceman on the Firebirds and his plus-minus raking for the season of -29, suggests he wasn’t a good one.

The coaching staff was hired back hours later, when every player – including Hakon – handed in their jerseys, refusing to play for such a bone-headed owner.

Nilson wasn’t done with shenanigans there, however. He fired his staff again in February, despite protests from players.

In April, OHL Commissioner David Branch, aware that loose cannon owners aren’t suitable for junior hockey, suspended Nilsen for five years and fined him for more than $250,000.

The sanctions followed an investigation that revealed the owner had violated an agreement he signed by the OHL and acted in ways that was contrary to the best interest of players and league.

What does this have to do with our region?

Well, more than a few people in OHL circles have suggested the league would be wise to get rid of Nilsen once and for all and re-locate the Firebirds to a traditional OHL city like Belleville.

The Yardmen Arena has been without a chief tenant since the Belleville Bulls were sold and relocated to Hamilton last spring; a move that ended more than 30 years of OHL hockey in the Friendly City.

Nilsen owns the arena the Firebirds play in and needs a team there, so he’s not likely to give up on the OHL easily. But, if we’re lucky,

maybe he’ll blow a fuse again, say nuts to the OHL, and tempt Branch and his board of owners to come back here.

I suggest this under the assumption that the Binghamton Senators of the American Hockey League are not coming to Belleville any time soon.

That idea got the Twittesphere talking recently when it was presented by Ottawa Sun sportswriter Bruce Garrioch.

He wrote that the Ottawa Senators, while not unhappy in Binghamton, were exploring bringing their farm team to Belleville. This way players would be geographically closer to the big club and it would help the Senators strengthen their brand in Eastern Ontario.

Yet, days later Binghamton Senators officials told media they’re not going anywhere and were in fact working on a new long-term agreement with the Sens.

A possible Belleville move is an interesting theory and – from what we know – the City of Belleville is in serious negotiations with at least one party considering leasing the Yardmen Arena.

But AHL teams travel much further distances than OHL teams to play opponents and it’s hard to imagine a new hockey owner coming to town that would feel comfortable paying for a team’s airline tickets – not to mention salaries – with revenue from no more than 3,300 tickets per game.

Other professional leagues may be considering Belleville, such as the East Coast Hockey League or the Federal Hockey League, but they would face the same problem.

There’s optimism in Belleville that quality hockey will soon return to Belleville – and council’s recent decision to hire an architect to produce drawings on how the arena can be renovated – is fuelling belief that a deal is in the works.

But the city’s best bet for long-term hockey success is the return of the OHL.

Enchanting family night out

By Erin Stewart Trenton – Princesses, princes, animals, superheroes and everything in between enjoyed the enchanted forest at the second annual Children’s Imagination Ball and Gala on Fri. May 13 at the Knights of Columbus.

Families dressed up and enjoyed a dinner by Wild Hawg Catering, arts and crafts, face painting, a photo booth, live music, dancing and a magic show while also raising money for the Quinte West Youth Centre through the purchase of tickets and a silent auction.

“I’m having lots of fun,” said Spencer Andrews, 9, who was happy to be interrupted at the craft table to talk about the event.

“I find it exciting, especially when the cupcakes came out,” he said.

“I have three favourite parts. One is getting my face painted with a moustache, two is getting cupcakes and three is when I made my sword.”

Treena Chicoyne brought her family to the event and she said it was the first children’s gala she had ever been to.

“I think it’s wonderful because we

do quite a bit of the adult galas for different things around town and my daughter’s always so excited when we get dressed up to go out but she never gets the opportunity to come,” Chicoyne said.

Chicoyne said the children’s gala is a different kind of dress up but it’s the fun kind, adding that her daughter picked out a Princess Jasmine costume for herself and a genie costume for her.

“Tonight she was really pleased that it was about her more than it was about us so that was wonderful, it’s more of a family event instead of just an adult event, so it’s great.”

Connie Nye-Kaley, executive director for the Quinte West Youth Centre, said she came up with the children’s gala idea after seeing it done in the United States.

“I hadn’t seen it anywhere here so I thought to try something unique and different,” she said. “It’s been a really good turnout, everyone is so excited, I had waiting lists even for tickets.”

Since the event was such a big hit with around 200 people in attendance, Nye-Kaley said the Quinte West Youth Centre will definitely Around 200 people enjoyed the Children’s Imagination Ball and Gala, hosted by the Quinte West Youth Centre, on Fri. May 13 at the Knights of Columbus. be running the gala again next year. From left: Natalie Smith, Lilly Farrell, Treena Chicoyne, Emma Ellis, Spencer Andrews.

Hugh O’Neil Friendship Garden moving ahead

By Erin Stewart Trenton – The Hugh O’Neil Friendship Garden will blossom next to the Trent Port Marina after gaining Quinte West city council approval, despite taking around 45 minutes to come to an agreement, at the council meeting on Mon. May 16.

Former Quinte West Mayor John Williams presented the planning committee’s proposal to honour the late longtime former MPP and provincial cabinet minister O’Neil, also known as “Mr. Quinte,” who had a big impact on the community.

“I thought it was important that we do something for Hugh, after all he’s done for our community and our area… A man of action, well known for his tireless volunteer work in the community during both his working years and throughout his retirement,” Williams said during his presentation.

The garden received approval to be located adjacent to the Roy Bonisteel tribute garden beside the Trent Port Marina.

Designs for the friendship garden include a plan to insure harmony with the existing surroundings by including the same paving stones used in the Bonisteel garden, small retaining walls to help give the garden definition and encase shrubs, flowers and trees.

Williams also said the committee intends to have O’Neil “life chapter plaques” so people can read his story around the garden and the committee is also hoping to use the same stone used in the construction of the Ontario Legislature as a means to

symbolize Hugh’s 20 years of service as an MPP. Councillor Sally Freeman said the decision took longer than council would have liked but the motion they passed was the “best case scenario.”

“The only problem we had was it was the first time we had ever seen that and it was hard to event picture where it was going to be, so that’s why we wanted it looked at before we gave them absolute approval,” Freeman said.

“But to do anything to upset the O’Neil family, because we all think the world of Hugh, let’s just get on this and make it the absolute very best tribute to Hugh O’Neil we can,” she said.

Councillor Duncan Armstrong, a member of the O’Neil garden planning committee, said he was not very happy with how the decision was handled.

“I’ll stand up for Hugh O’Neil… I have no problem with that at all, speaking up for Hugh O’Neil is something I will do any day of the week,” he said.

“We’re going to make this thing look great, the family’s going to be proud of it, the community’s going to be proud of it.”

Now that the location has been approved, Armstrong said they are hoping to start fundraising soon with a goal of $50,000 and hope to get shovels in the ground by October.

Armstrong said they planned to share the news at Hugh’s Day: A Tribute to Hugh O’Neil on Tuesday, hosted by the Quinte Arts Council at the Royal Canadian Air Force Museum in Trenton. The event took place after our publiHugh O’Neil’s son David O’Neil and Mr. O’Neil’s wife Donna O’Neil attend the Quinte West city council meeting to support the cation deadline.

“I like it very much because it’s very fun to just get out and go fishing,” she said. “It’s like you can just spend time with your family and friends and there’s nothing to worry about.”

Kennedy’s mother Corina Drover said she appreciates the Blair Smith Memorial event and said it’s a fantastic to see kids learning how to fish every year.

“There’s nothing else out there that’s better for the kids,” she said. “It gets them outside in the community, it’s an activity you can do by yourself or you can do it with a gang at any age.”

424 Sqn Tigers train like the real thing in the Soo

By Ross Lees TIGEREX 2016 gave 80 424 (Transport and Rescue) Squadron personnel and their aircraft some additional emergency operational training in Sault-Ste. Marie from May 9 to 13.

Multiple simulated search sce-

narios tested the skills of the search and rescue (SAR) teams and their crews along with the crews of partner agencies, supplying invaluable interaction and exposure to how SAR operations are conducted and how they can better work together in responding to life-saving calls.

The exercise focused on boat and

land SAR scenarios, medical exercises, local emergency response procedures as well as night flare use.

“Our SAR teams from 8 Wing Trenton consistently train to provide enhanced SAR services to Canadians,” said 8 Wing/Canadian Forces Base Trenton Commander

Col. Colin Keiver. “TIGEREX provides realistic training opportunities for our SAR personnel to maintain and further develop their skills through the enactment of simulated incidents and complex rescue scenarios.”

Supporting 424 Squadron in this exercise were: Canadian Coast

Guard, United States Coast Guard, Civil Air SAR Association (Ontario, Quebec and Nunavut), Sault SAR, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Ontario Provincial Police, 8 Air Communications and Control Squadron, and local fire hall and Continued on page 16

“Through a series of complex and difficult training scenarios over the week of TIGEREX, they have honed their abilities to rescue folks from life threatening incidents,” he said. “These sessions have been based upon real-life events that have challenged them in the past. These are situations that can be harrowing and even life-threatening to those tasked with the saving of lives.”

Community Trees event held at Sticks and Stones in Stirling

By Terry McNamee Stirling - People in need of a new tree or shrub to add to their landscaping were able to choose one for free on Saturday, thanks to Community Trees Program offered by the Hastings Stewardship Council.

Held on May 14 at Sticks and Stones in Stirling, this event was the last of a series. Previous giveaways took place in Melrose, Tweed, Belleville and Marmora.

“We do the free trees in partnership with the municipality,” said Louise Livingstone of the Stewardship Council. She said the municipality buys the trees to be given away, but since the Municipality of Stirling-Rawdon did not participate this year, Adam and Ashley Cooney from Sticks and Stones stepped in and bought the trees while offering their facility on Demorest Road to host the twohour giveaway.

“It’s a great community event that gets people outside and planting trees,” said Ashley Cooney. All the trees were one or two years

old and ready to plant.

Livingstone said the Stirling event started with 800 trees, and nearly all were gone in the first hour. Overall, the entire program gave away 5,000 trees.

A variety of species were offered to suit different soil types and conditions, including white and red pine, blue, Norway and white spruce, red and bur oak, black walnut, sugar and silver maple, cedar, serviceberry, highbush cranberry and nannyberry.

Donations were accepted in exchange for the trees, with all money going to the Hastings Stewardship Council‘s programs or to local service group assisting with tree seedling distribution.

The Stewardship Council also runs other events during the year, including two “Know Your Plant” workshops scheduled for Thursday, June 9, and Sunday, June 12. For information on these and other events, email Hastings Stewardship Council Co-ordinator Matt Caruana at info@hastingsstewardship. ca.

Stirling-Rawdon residents face a tax hike of 2.5 per cent

By Terry McNamee Stirling-Rawdon - After cutting as much as possible from the municipality’s 2016 budget, Stirling-Rawdon Council passed a budget that will give residents a 2.5 per cent increase on their property tax bill.

Council managed to keep the increase low despite losing another $102,800 (9.4 per cent) in its Ontario Municipal Partnership Funding (OMPF) for this year.

“Basically, our loss in the funding is the police part of the grant,” explained treasurer and acting CAO Roxanne

Hearns. Stirling-Rawdon has kept its own police force “We were getting money (from the province) to have a police force, back in the day,” said Councillor Jeremy Solmes. But the government has since revamped its funding, and now, since the province already funds the Ontario

Members of Council check out one of the graphics displaying the breakdown of taxes in Stirling-Rawdon during the Council meeting on Monday, May 16.

Provincial Police, OMPF will not cover funds for a separate police department in Stirling-Rawdon.

Solmes said he cannot be sure there would be funding for policing even if the municipality chose to switch to the OPP for its policing, and just going through the process required to make such a change would take at least four years, during which no savings would be realized.

The tax increase is a fraction of what the municipality actually needs, said Mayor Rodney Cooney.

“If we would have put it up 18 per cent, we would have been close to where we needed to be,” he commented.

Total taxes on a typical residential property assessed at $200,000 would be $2,846.20. Of the overall tax levy, only 67 per cent actually goes to Stirling-Rawdon. Twenty per cent is paid to Hastings County and another 13 per cent goes to the boards of education. The Hastings County levy has increased 4.33 per cent compared to 2015.

Hearns said Tweed and Centre Hastings are both getting much more funding, while Stirling-Rawdon is receiving more than half a million dollars less from OMPF than in 2010 despite expenses such as hydro and insurance climbing about 13 per cent and 12 per cent respectively, this year alone.

The mayor said policing at 33.76 per cent and transportation (which covers what other communities call public works, such as maintaining roads, bridges, equipment and so on) 32.12

per cent are the main recipients of the municipality‘s tax dollars.

The remaining local tax dollars are broken down as follows: 17.68 per cent for general government, 6.32 per cent for fire services, 3.32 per cent for waste management, 2.32 per cent for the public library. 1.79 per cent for recreation and 0.74 per cent for health services.

Recycling costs have gone up tremendously in the last 16 years, Cooney noted. These costs were well under $10,000 in 2000 and are now at $90,000 in 2016.

“That‘s just completely crazy,” he said.

Overall, the municipality needs almost $5.5-million to operate, and receives just over $1.75-million in various grants. That leaves $3,729,000 that must be paid for through taxation.

Another problem facing StirlingRawdon is that assessments have only increased by 67 per cent over the past 18 years. As costs go up, without enough new residential and other development to spread out the tax burden, the weight on existing taxpayers will continue to increase.

“It sounds to me that we‘re not sustainable over the long haul as a municipality,” commented resident John Rock. “There‘s only so much blood you can get out of a stone.”

Local residents attending the meeting were resigned to the 2.5 per cent tax hike, agreeing it was unavoidable and lower than it might have been.

“It‘s the best they can do,” said Bonnie Heasman.

Canada Road Safety Week promotes safe driving

By Terry McNamee Stirling - If you’re driving anywhere in Hastings and Prince Edward Counties this week, pay special attention to how you drive.

The Quinte Region Traffic Coalition is supporting Canada Road Safety Week from May 17-23 by increasing traffic enforcement and educating drivers about safe driving behaviour.

“Most of the deaths and injuries that occur on our roadways are preventable,” said Constable Scott Preston of the Stirling-Rawdon Police Service.

“We’re asking the public to choose safe behaviours while travelling on our roadways, whether as a driver or passenger.”

This week, local police will be paying particular attention to behaviours that put drivers, passengers, pedestri-

ans and other vulnerable road users most at risk. These include distracted driving (such as cell phone use), speeding, driving while impaired by alcohol and/or drugs and not using or improper use of restraint systems such as seat belts or child safety seats.

Area police also are handing out car air fresheners, magnets, posters and information cards with key road safety messages at Public Health offices, Police Services and upcoming community events.

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

Freedom of City granted to 8 Wing

By Ross Lees Belleville - It was a unique way to celebrate the 85th anniversary of 8 Wing/Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Trenton’s existence within the Quinte Region.

8 Wing Commander Col. Colin Keiver and a band of his good-natured troops literally knocked on the door of the Municipality of Belleville Friday to demand the right to exercise the Freedom of the City they had been granted in 1978.

Mayor Taso Christopher willingly

granted them that freedom with open arms.

The text used by Keiver to make his request was based on the Freedom of the City document.

“Your Worship and the citizens of the Great City of Belleville, I hereby advise you that it is my intent, as Com-

THE PAST COMES ALIVE

1000 ISLANDS NICKEL CUP HYDROPLANE REGATTA JUNE 4-5 GANANOQUE, ONTARIO

A North America premier racing event returns to the beautiful 1000 Islands, as 70 hydroplanes roar into Gananoque. It’s like watching a plane without wings shoot across the water during this revival of a historic event which defined the glory days of boat racing on the St. Lawrence River during the 1940’s and 1950’s.

mander of 8 Wing Trenton to exercise the Freedom of the City of Belleville as originally granted to us in 1978. We shall enter therein and march throughout the streets, thoroughfares and highways, without hindrance or trespass with flags flying, bayonets fixed and bands playing. May the relationship between the great City of Belleville and 8 Wing Trenton continue to build into the future as long as the waters of the Bay of Quinte embrace the shores of this great city.”

“Traditionally, it was literally the military commander coming to the front gate of the walled city in medieval Europe and bang on the door with his sword, saying ‘Let me in, Let me in, I’m here to help you, not destroy you,’ if you will. It’s all part of that tradition,” explained Keiver.

“What we’ll do is I’ll take that little piece of wood with big huge dents in it now from the hilt of my sword and

we’ll get it framed so it can be presented to the City,” he said.

Christopher said he was honoured to receive the request and took the opportunity to bring greetings from the bottom of his heart to the men and women of 8 Wing who participated in a very warm and beautiful ceremony.

“It’s definitely going to go down as a long memory for myself and all the citizens of the City of Belleville,” he said.

Christopher also took the opportunity to express his appreciation of the work the men and women of 8 Wing perform world-wide.

“We appreciate everything you do every single day, here and far abroad, throughout the world. It means a lot to us. We welcome you to our community, the door is always open.

This is an historic moment and an historic time for our municipality.”

St. Paul’s senior girls’ soccer team secures Bay of Quinte semifinal spot nals after beating Quinte Christian in a close 1-0 quarterfinal playoff game on Mon. May Trenton – St. Paul’s senior girl’s soccer team 16. secured a spot in the Bay of Quinte semifi- The Falcons were able to hold on to their one goal lead from early on in the first period

By Erin Stewart

to close out a close game.

“It was pretty back and forth the entire time but we came out on top, we played really well,” said St. Paul’s Kalie Verheyn, Grade 11. “The passing was on, the shots were on and we got lucky on our corner kick.”

Verheyn said she was nervous throughout the close contest “Any shot that came at you, you knew that there was a possibility of it going in and if it did, that could be the end of your season,” she said.

The Falcons will now play their semifinal game against St. Theresa’s at the Bay of Quinte tournament

at Mary Ann Sills in Belleville on Wed. May 18, after the Quinte West News print deadline.

“We’re looking forward to it,” said Verheyn. “Kind of nervous because we know what our opponents are like, I think we’ll do well, we just have to work together and play hard.”

Curtis Devries, Quinte Christian coach, said the girls played a tough game.

“We didn’t have a very good start to the game and the finish, we tried really hard there at the end but we just couldn’t get any shots off,” he said. “But we had most of the possession in the second half, just couldn’t get the goal that we needed.”

Devries said their senior girl’s soccer team really improved this year by making it into the playoffs and overall the girls had a good year and a lot of fun.

The G-Hawks’ second straight victory all but assured they have a spot in the semifinals, while their game 2 opponents, the Carleton Place Canadians, lost their opening game for the first time in their three consecutive appearances at the RBC. Lucas Brown scored the first goal of the game just under 10 minutes into the first period, assisted by Lenihan and Jordan DaSilva.

Although the G-Hawks outshot the Canadians 16-10 in the second period, they were unable to get a shot past the Canadian’s goaltender Colton Point.

The Canadians managed to tie the game 1-1 on a power play goal by Bryce Van Horn four minutes into the second period, assisted by Jordan Larson and Alex Robinson.

The G-Hawks dominated the shots on goal in the third period 16-5.

Lenihan scored the game-winner with 7:14 remaining in the third, assisted by Jordan Chard and Keaton Ratcliffe.

The G-Hawks seized the momentum and Harvey secured the final goal of the game with four minutes left, assisted by Mac Lewis and Ben Scheel.

G-Hawks goaltender Daniel Urbani made 20 saves on 21 shots while the Canadians’ Point made 38 saves on 41 shots.

The Canadian’s incurred four minutes in penalties on two infractions while the G-Hawks incurred six minutes on three infractions.

G-Hawks coach Jerome Dupont said secondary scoring from all four lines brought the Hawks to their victory as the Canadians focused on shutting down the Danny Hanlon and Brown lines.

“That was huge, getting a goal from Harvey’s line and Lenihan’s line was huge I think, the game winner and the insurance goal, that was the difference,” he said.

Dupont said he thought the Hawks started off slow but played an excellent third period to secure their second win at the RBC. “It’s big, it’s brought us to the semifinals which is good to accomplish but we’ve set much more loftier goals than that,” he said.

Lenihan, named game Player of the Game after his game-winning goal, said he felt great after the game and was happy his family had just flown in from Vancouver to catch the big game.

“It was awesome, it was a really cool experience, my family actually just got here to watch the game so it was cool to do that in front of them,” Leni-

“We were great tonight, we were a much better effort than we were against Brooks, I think it’s safe to say that,” he said. “We turned it on when it really mattered and controlled the play which was really good to see from all four lines as well.”

Fresh for All returns to Quinte for second year, encourages produce donations

By Stephen Petrick Belleville – Hey let’s share.

That’s the slogan for Fresh for All, an initiative supported by several local organizations to help encourage food donations during the growing season.

The campaign, back for a second year, asks people to grow an extra row or two in their garden for donations, or donate fresh store-bought produce.

The website, freshforall.ca, lists 27 Quinte-are organizations that accept donations of food for programs that feed those in need Among them is the Salvation Army,

Gleaners Food Bank and several churches in the Hastings-Prince Edward region.

Community leaders behind the program gathered at the Belleville Salvation Amy’s Community Services building on Monday, May 16 to announce the return of the program.

The Salvation Army was a fitting place to celebrate the new year, as workers there said donations of produce has gone up greatly of late, likely thanks to the promotion of Fresh for All in its inaugural year.

Those donations were needed, they said, as the number of people accessing its services, which include its food bank and Warm Room meal program,

are on the rise.

Volunteer co-ordinator Brenda Post said the number of meals the Salvation Army has served over the past year is up 20 per cent from the previous year.

“We had 138 people here for lunch last Friday (May 13),” she said.

“That’s high for this time of year.”

However, donations of produce make a big difference in helping the Salvation Army meet that need.

It allows clients to not just eat, but eat healthy, said Community and Family Services Director Abby Mills, pointing out that not all clients have the means to access minerals and vitamins and, as a result, are at risk of

being in poor health.

“A lot of fresh produce came in that we would freeze, serve or give out to food bank clients,” she said.

Steve Van de Hoef, who co-chairs the Fresh for All campaign with Cherie Hardie, said he hopes the initiative will open people’s minds to the fact that food programs need donations of all kinds of foods, not just the typical canned goods.

Van de Hoef also explained that Fresh for All is a “mostly behind the scenes operation.”

The groups involved work to market the idea, but after that it’s difficult to track how well the public embraces it.

No statistics are readily available

on how many donations of food were made as a result of Fresh for All’s promotion, but, from anecdotes, the two co-chairs believe last year was a success.

This year they hope to raise awareness even more of the need to donate to food programs.

“There’s no number goal (when it comes to donations),” Hardie said.

“It’s about raising awareness.”

Salvation Amy staff also reminded that it’s easy for anyone to donate to a food organizations, such as theirs.

“There’s no need for waste,” reminded Post. “(Donors) don’t even need to wash the vegetables. They can bring them to us and we’ll take care of the rest.”

Dr. Brian Ho

• Sealants are painted on the top of the back teeth and harden to form a shield over the tooth

• Sealants can last up to 5 – 10 years or longer if teeth are properly cared for.

Why should my child How do dental sealants prevent cavities? get sealants?

• As the back teeth grow, pits and grooves form on the top of the teeth. Food and bacteria get caught in the grooves and cause the teeth to get cavities

• Dental sealants fill the pits and grooves on the teeth.The teeth are easier to keep clean because food is brushed away easier with a toothbrush.

• Brushing teeth does not remove all the food and bacteria stuck in the grooves

Folks, I’m just a titch fuzzy on a few minor details in terms of the Horticultural Apprenticeship Pilot Program for Eastern Ontario. As a result, the followup column to Green Collar Trades will be held back for a week. The good news is you, Gentle Reader, have a bit more time to let potential employers and apprentices know to pick up next week’s newspaper. We do contact as many industry people as we can through various trade associations, but not every business is a member so any help you can give us will be very much appreciated.

The Good Earth: Unskilled, unsafe, fly-by-nighters are as much a danger to the homeowner, as they are to the industry and to themselves; even more so to the young people they hire and “train”. So let’s get the word out about the hort apprenticeship program, and we’ll build the workforce with youth.

However, for this week, we’ll slip back into the garden for a bit of tune-up. I know you experienced gardeners, meaning older people like me, have not gone full out with planting yet, because you know there is a bit of cool still to come. At the time of writing this, the forecast is for possible flurries in the northern catchment.

So what kind of tune-up might we be discussing, GR? The lawnmowers have had their first workout and the tools should all be sharpened, but what have you done about you? How did you feel the day after the euphoria of the first grass cutting had worn off?

Lower back twinge? Sore shoulders? The tune-up we’ll be doing is for ourselves. Some might call this exercise; I prefer to think of it as taking roll call.

For each stretch I do, there is some protesting body part calling out to stop. I generally hear from all the bits before I’m done.

The first body part to work out is your b r a i n .

W o r k s m a r t e r,

not harder. Plan your work so that it is spread out over a reasonable amount of time, none of “do the whole estate on the May two-four weekend” attitude.

In fact, a good gardener has a pretty good work schedule laid out that matches the needs of the plants. It tends to spread itself out over the year with very few onerous days pencilled in. If you do the same, GR, you’ll find that your daily work is manageable, the work you do is timely for the plants themselves, and you will have time to enjoy both the physicals task and the subsequent rewards.

However, no matter how you approach it, you will have to engage in physical activity.

One of the best fitness exercises in terms of gentleness and overall benefit is walking.

Simply get the body moving around the block, peeking into the backyards of your neighbourhood. If your knees are creaking whilst upright, they’re going to be singing quite the sorry song when you get down to plant a row of veggies.

I’m not qualified to tell you exactly what stretches to do and how to do them, but I am experienced enough to tell to do them.

I know from experience, that gentle movements give better results than bouncing to force a reach. I know that twisting the torso is one way to keep from throwing out your back just reaching behind you for a tool.

That one was from experience too. I know that you can figure out which bits to stretch out, just by going through the motions of the actual work. I also know that the need for these exercises increases as the years add up.

As an aside, I have also discovered, contrary to those so-called home truths, that I am actually getting taller. I remember, back in the day, I could reach down and touch this good earth without bending a knee but now it is far, far away.

Stretch it out and you’ll have an easier time of it in the garden.

Comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable – a workshop on preaching

By Brett Mann Belleville -St. Matthew’s United Church in Belleville was the venue for a recent day-long workshop entitled “Shaping Sermons” led by Dr. Pam Holmes.

Holmes holds a doctorate degree in systematic theology from the Toronto School of Theology and has taught at the School of Religion at Queen’s University. She will be taking on the responsibilities of pastor at Rednersville-Albury Community United Church this July.

Two dozen participants from as far away as Kingston and Peterborough were captivated by lessons Holmes shared on the art and discipline of crafting a sermon and delivering it effectively. “There’s a Russian proverb,” she said to chuckles from the group. “People are the same as donkeys – whoever would hold them must get a good grip on their ears.”

Preachers can be divided into three

groups, she observed, those to whom you can’t listen, those to whom you can listen, and those to whom you must listen. Stressing that preaching is a form of communication, Holmes pointed to Marshal McLuhan’s famous dictum that the medium is the message and offered the view that preaching is “truth poured through personality.” Rather than simply delivering sermons, preaching is “the art of making a preacher and delivering that.” A group member observed that the celebrated preacher Billy Graham “preached the same sermon for 40 years and still drew a crowd.”

Simplicity, vividness and directness are hallmarks of a good sermon, said Holmes, remarking that Billy Graham once said “I have had to study to become simple.” Seventy-six percent of the Lord’s Prayer is composed of words of one syllable, she noted.

Brevity is also important. As times change sermons have become shorter

with the ideal length being about 12 to 15 minutes these days, said Holmes.

“The mind cannot assimilate what the seat cannot endure.” Holmes comes from a Pentecostal background and described Pentecostal preaching as more “embodied, intuitive and emotional.” This style of preaching springs from African roots and is more interactive with the congregation. “It appeals to the will and emotions and goes explicitly beyond the rational.

It’s not good or bad, just different,” she commented.

Non-verbal skills can be as important as speaking ability, said Holmes.

Distracting dress, mannerisms or appearance can undercut the preacher’s message. A good preacher will use humour and story telling skills and make eye contact. Honesty, authenticity and transparency are critical. “We should try to live the message ourselves or at least admit it when it’s difficult,” she remarked.

Good sermons shape people’s

lives, Holmes observed. The goal is to “waken people’s brains and stir their consciences.” They should be comforting, uplifting, thought-

provoking and provide ‘ah ha!’ moments of insight, but the preacher must ultimately “leave the results with God. You do your best.”

Dr. Pam Holmes outlines the goals and methods of successful preaching to an attentive audience at a workshop entitled ‘Shaping Sermons’ held recently at St. Matthew’s United Church in Belleville.

Spot the “jewels of the forest” at Presqu’ile this weekend Brighton – The Friends of Presqu’ile Park say we are finally rounding into a real spring, and with that comes the return of tens of thousands of songbirds and shorebirds as they migrate their way north.

They are some of the most beautiful and sought after birds for birdwatchers and Warblers and Whimbrels Weekend at Presqu’ile (May 21-22) hosted by Friends is designed to introduce visitors to these birds and the fine art of bird watching.

Both days there will be an ultra-early bird walk for the ultra-keen at 6:30 a.m. from the lighthouse. For those who want to sleep a bit longer they can join knowledgeable staff and volunteers in the lighthouse area at 8 a. m. for a prime warbler hunt. A second walk will take place at 10 a.m.

“While early morning is usually the best time to find birds, during migration birds often keep active all day long so we are sure to see something good on all our walks” said park naturalist David Bree. “Warblers are often called the jewels of the forest for their varied and beautiful colours, but they can be a challenge to see. Our experts can help you find and identify some of the 15-plus species likely present in the park this weekend.”

There will also be a guided walk starting from

the Owen Point Trail parking lot at 2 p.m. to seek out shorebirds.

“Sandpipers and plovers come in all shapes and sizes,” Bree said. “Ten to fifteen species could be present on the beach at one time. We have already seen a half-dozen species including the rare Piping Plover this year.”

The highlight for many will be a bird banding demonstration of licensed bird banders Elizabeth Kellogg and Roger Frost at the Owen Point Trail parking lot from 8 a.m. until noon courtesy. Visitors will have an unprecedented chance to see birds up close and to learn how and why birds are banded. This activity is weather dependent for the safety of the birds.

The Friends of Presqu’ile will hold their fundraising barbecue both days, starting at 11 a.m.

The Lighthouse Centre and Friends’ store will be open 10 a.m. To 4 p.m. Tickets will be sold for a raffle for Bushnell binoculars and a scope/ tripod package. The draw will take place 4 p.m.

Sunday.

New this year is an optics display with binoculars, camera lens and spotting scopes from Vortex and Tamron, with a chance at discount purchase. The cost of admission is a $14.50 vehicle park entrance fee.

For more information call 613-475-4324 ext.

Whimbrels are chicken-size shorebirds with an impressive bill that will stop at Presqu’ile for only a few days in May on their 225 or email david.bree@ontario.ca

Dressing Room celebrates 20th anniversary with a charitable twist Prince Edward County There’s one way to throw a 20th birthday party for your business – invite a bunch of customers and pop the bubbly, of course.

But, if you’re a Prince Edward County business owner with almost a quarter century in business, you mark the occasion by giving back to the community that made it all possible to remain in business so long.

That’s what Lori Foster, owner of The Dressing Room, in Rossmore, did recently in holding a fundraising celebration at the Picton Golf and Country Club.

The evening quickly sold out to more than 150 women from throughout the County and Quinte region and on tap were a fashion show, draws and door prizes, gift bags, complimentary hors d’oeuvres and a goal to raise money for Alternatives for Women Prince Edward County.

“It is because of you, our loyal customers, friends and family that we are celebrating 20 Years

of Fashion,” said Foster to her clients and friends who supported the evening celebration and fundraiser.

“We are truly grateful to work with amazing women who inspire us every day in this wonderful community we live in.

Our passion and joy is helping women look and feel beautiful while creating confidence one outfit at a time. Thank you for 20 incredible years! We look forward to making you look and feel great for many years to come.”

Attendees were asked to bring items that would be helpful for women utilizing the services of Alternatives for Women – a community organization that provides counseling and 24-hour emergency services for abused women in Prince Edward County.

Along with a mountain of ‘gently used clothing’ items and personal care products donated by those attending, the event raised an additional $800 for Alternatives for Women in Prince The models who highlighted fashions at the recent 20th anniversary celebration and Fashion Show for The Dressing Room, of Rossmore, gather for a photo with Edward County. owner Lori Foster, lower right, and assistant Donna Farmer, lower left.

Madoc arena will not be closing

By Diane Sherman

Madoc - In a statement issued Friday, May 13, Mayor Tom Deline declared the Municipality of Centre Hastings will not be closing the Madoc Arena and Recreation Centre, as requested by Madoc Township.

The two parties are in legal negotiations to determine whether original agreements for shared costs of maintaining the arena are binding.

A shared management agreement between the two municipalities has been ongoing since amalgamation in 1998. Prior to that, the agreement was between the Village of Madoc and Madoc Township.

The township declined the opportunity to take ownership at amalgamation, instead agreeing to a percentage annual financial responsibility, paying 30 per cent of costs, and maintaining a Spectacular Ingredients Can Take You Anywhere $40,000 yearly contribution.

Management of the arena was taken over by Centre Hastings in 2012, when Madoc Township chose to dissolve the Save on fresh ingredients from your local

Fire department to host launch of summer safety campaign

By John Campbell

Trent Hills – Trent Hills Fire Department has been chosen to host the launch of this year’s Swing into Summer Safety campaign, organized by the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council.

The launch will take place at noon June 14 at the Kinsmen Ball Diamond in Campbellford.

The event will include a ball game between Trent Hills firefighters and two local minor softball teams and a grand draw prize of four fieldlevel tickets to a Toronto Blue Jays game will be up for grabs.

Four Blue Jays caps will also be offered as prizes.

A firefighter challenge will be held as well and a fire safety castle will be set up for children.

The fire department, one of five in the province selected to launch the summer safety campaign, is being given $200 for the purchase of refreshments.

shared board of management.

In April of 2013, an amendment to the agreement, to no longer have a set percentage contribution, was approved with Centre Hastings. Township council claims their solicitor confirms this decision is binding.

Mayor Deline said, in current negotiations, Madoc Township has not made a financial commitment, something he hopes they will do to increase financial support.

In their budget deliberations, Madoc Township Council pointed out management of the arena has averaged at $288,000 a year since 2012, a cost they feel is unreasonable, and not affordable for taxpayers if they pay 30 or

“We‘ve got some good events planned [that will be] a lot of fun for the kids,” Fire Chief Tim Blake said, but the they‘ll also get a strong fire safety message, such as the importance of having working smoke alarms.

“If you don‘t maintain them

[or] have them, then there are consequences,” he said, citing the tragic deaths of an Ontario family whose smoke alarms had been disconnected.

“They have to be on every level and outside your sleeping area,” he said.

40 per cent of all costs.

Since 2012, the township has contributed over $200,000.

Reeve Bob Sager says council’s recommendation to close the arena is based on a review of costs for other municipal arenas.

“Our recommendation is meant to get people to open their eyes to the ongoing increase in operating costs for this arena,” he concluded.

Township council believes they cannot continue supporting it if costs continue to rise, and they have to pay on a percentage basis.

Centre Hastings is demanding $187,000 for retroactive percentage payments from 2013 to 2015.

The organizing committee for the Second Annual Home Hardware Building Centre Bike Up Northumberland is high spirits as they gear up for the fundraising event in support of Campbellford Memorial Hospital and Northumberland Hills Hospital. Photo submitted

‘Bike Up Northumberland!’ gearing up for its second year Campellford – Details of the second annual “Bike Up Northumberland!” charity cycling ride have been announced for Sat., Sept. 10, in support of two area hospitals. Cyclists are already gearing up to raise money for the Campbellford Memorial (CMH) and Northumberland Hills Hospital (NHH) foundations.

Two new co-chairs will take the lead this year and they are: Calvin Newman, president of Newman Oliver & McCarten Insurance Brokers Ltd.

and Randy Albon, a director of the Northumberland Hills Cycling Club.

Both men will lead a dedicated team of volunteers on the organizing committee. Both have a keen interest and knowledge of cycling.

“Bike Up Northumberland! is truly a county-wide event,” said Newman.

“This is going to be a spectacular event, and I’m honoured to be cochairing this year with Randy. Cycling is a great activity for building community spirit and I encourage ev-

eryone to grab their families, friends and their bikes and ride with us in September.”

The ride will start at Donogan Park and travel along the scenic waterfront trail with distances ranging from 5 km, 10 km, 25 km, 50 km, and 100 km. People of all ages and abilities are welcome.

With a new website and registration system now up and running, participants can register early and take advantage of the early bird fees.

Until July 31, the fee is $50. If registering between July 31 and Sept.

9 the fee will be $60. Registration on the day of event is $75. There is also a special family registration fee of $50 for up to two adults and four children under 16 for the 5 km and 10 km rides only. All registration fees are waived if the participant raises $150 in pledges.

All proceeds raised will be distributed equally to both hospital foundations and will be directed towards

surgical scopes.

After the race, a free lunch will be available and vendors will be in the community village being set up in Donegan Park. All participants will receive an event shirt and goodie bag.

Register online at: www.bikeupnorthumberland.ca or through either foundation office. For more information go to: www.nhhfoundation. ca or www.givetocmh.ca or email Adrienne Barrie at abarrie@nhh.ca.

Put a lid on it for Victoria Day weekend Many Canadians know how much fun activities on wheels, including cycling, in-line skating, scooter riding and skateboarding can be.

They are also good ways to get exercise. Hastings Prince Edward Public Health (HPEPH) wants everyone, especially children, to be safe during all wheeled activities.

“Most injuries associated with wheeled activities are the result of a fall,” says Cindy Kirkpatrick, a public health nurse with HPEPH. Although broken bones and sprains are the most common injuries associated

with wheeled activities, head injuries are the most serious type of injury.

A seemingly minor head injury can permanently change the way a person moves, behaves, and/or thinks.”

According to Kirkpatrick, “There is a public perception that helmets may not provide protection. However, helmets have proven effective in preventing head injuries from all types of falls and crashes. In fact, a properly fitted helmet can absorb the force from a crash or fall and decrease the risk of serious head injury by as much as 85 percent. This means that

four out of five head injuries could be prevented if every person who participated in wheeled activities just strapped on a helmet.”

“An equally important strategy in preventing childhood injuries associated with wheels involves parents,” says Kirkpatrick. “Parents are a child’s best role models.” This Victoria Day weekend, HPEPH would like parents and caregivers to promote healthy and safe practices during all wheeled activities, including stressing the importance of wearing a helmet and modelling safe behaviours on every ride.

ENSS celebrates Aboriginal culture generations of First Nations, Metis and Inuit endured during the 100 years the schools operated, Anne Taylor told students at East Northumberland Secondary School May 11.

The Curve Lake resident was one of nearly 20 presenters who spoke at workshops the school held as part of its Aboriginal Culture Celebration,

Many still carry a “burden of “Being taken away like that pain [and] despair” born of the ... had the effect of making her “hurt, frustration and harm” fearful for her entire life,” Taylor said.

Taylor’s oldest daughter, while a teenager, was overcome by racist attitudes and became “so ashamed to be an Anishinaabe woman” that she dyed her hair blond, wore blue contact lenses and used white makeup, “because she did not want anybody to know that she was First Nations, that’s how embarrassed she was.”

“She was suicidal for two-and-ahalf years,” Taylor said. “Can you imagine hating yourself so much because of your history that you want to do away with yourself?

There was a huge well of despair in my family.”

“What saved her,” Taylor said, was getting a co-op position at Petroglyphs Provincial Park where she “connected with her culture” in listenNimki Osawamik executed a series of deft moves in a hoop dance as part of the assembly that ing to the stories opened the Aboriginal Cultural Celebration ENSS held for high school and public school students. and teachings of Photo by John Campbell elders.

“She’s not ashamed of who she is anymore.”

ENSS principal Jeff Kawzenuk opened the half-day celebration by saying “ it is imperative we all have an understanding of the aboriginal culture and aboriginal history.”

More than 1.8 million aboriginal people live in Canada and their culture, language and social systems “have shaped” the way this country has developed and they “continue to grow and thrive despite extreme adversity.”

Native studies teacher Pam Vanderburg, a Metis, said First Nations people wel-

comed foreigners to their shores and supported them in making new lives, only to be “subjected to residential schools, loss of land and confinement to native reserves.”

Ashley Munroe, an Ojibway and Grade 12 student, spoke on behalf of the thousands of Aboriginal women who have gone missing or been murdered in Canada.

“Today I stand here as a native woman, as a voice to those who have been silenced,” she said.

Red dresses were hung in the school’s courtyard to draw attention to the missing and murdered women.

Al Purdy A-Frame Resident Poet Rob Taylor

By Melyssa Gloude “What does the reader want from a poem?... Primarily, I suppose, to be entertained. And that involves tuning in on some emotion or feeling or discovery that is larger and more permanent than he is.”

Those words were penned by the late poet, Al Purdy, from “Leonard Cohen: A Personal Look” in ‘Starting from Ameliasburgh.’

The new resident poet in Purdy’s AFrame goes by the name Rob Taylor,

born and raised in Port Moody, BC. A long way from home, Taylor now stays in the A-frame house at the edge of Roblin Lake with his wife and son as part of the A-Frame Residency Program. For a period of three months, writers are offered a time and place to work in a location that is attractive and of historic significance.

Taylor was invited to take part in the Tweed Library Writers’ Series by Raymond Brassard, Chairman of the Friends of The Tweed Library.

“My connection is that I’m also a Friend of The A Frame -all of our writers and authors that we have in here, we’ve had one

ET YOUR L T ’ N O D EASE L E L C I H VE DOWN. U O Y N I CHA T. BUST OU

that came fro the writers in residence at the A Frame,” says Brassard.

“I try to use that connection to find guests for the area.”

Brassard says that events such as these give local literary men and women a chance to join in on informative and constructive conversation.

“The benefit of this is certainly culture and this library does it very well,” says Brassard.

“You can tell by the quality of the questions that people are well-read and cultured and it’s up to us as an organization to do events like these and and to serve that need in the community.”

have won multiple awards. Taylor spoke of his time spent in the area and how the Al Purdy A-Frame Association have been so accommodating.

“I sent in a manuscript almost two and a half years ago. I was actually supposed to come last year but, you know, with the birth of our son, it didn’t see like it was going to work out...” said Taylor.

“I was expecting them to say, oh, well, you can never come again! But they’ve been very good as an organization. They told my wife and I that we could wait and bring our son later. Most residences would never take a family.”

Although the secluded space of rural Ontario is far from Taylor and his families’ definition of their normal every day life, Taylor says that the experience itself has been incredibly inspirational.

“A big impact has just been being in a quiet place. Being close to nature allows for reflection; certainly the warmth and generosity of complete strangers and

having a group of people around that are so warm and supporting,” he says.

“You don’t get that in the city.”

Though Taylor and his family will be ending their residency at the end of May, the young poet says that he’s not quite ready to say goodbye.

“I can’t say goodbye yet -- I’ve been caught so many times thinking that this will be one of the happiest, most peaceful times of my life. I just think, how do I save that, and store that and recreate that,” says Taylor.

“So I’m focussing on really being present. When we’re sitting out on the deck and a heron walks by, when my son gets to pet a horse for the first time-- all those little things, just being really alive and aware in those moments has been so inspirational.”

Taylors’ poetry anthologies and short stories can be found of his website. To learn more about his stay at the Al Purdy A-Frame, visit www.roblucastaylor.com

Much interest in tick problem

6tnhual

By Jack Evans

An

Quinte area residents turned out in impressive numbers for a lecture on the threat of lyme disease being spread by black legged ticks.

The lecture Monday evening , held in the Quinte Conservation offices, was from internationally-recognized researcher and scientist, Aptie Sookoo, a public health inspector for 13 years with Hastings and Prince Edward Health and a native of Guyana.

Sookoo quipped of his subject: “the tick that ticks us off,” and cautioned that there remains much to learn yet of the debilitating lyme disease the ticks have been causing at increasing rates.

Without referring to climate change, he expressed surprise that only in recent months, the ticks have been Aptie Sookoo is at the podium for a lecture on ticks and lyme disease. Photo found, some of them lyme-infected, in by Jack Evans the Bancroft area.

Around 30 people attended the meeting and showed strong interest in the displays of tick samples and literature he had on a front table. There was also a lively question and discussion exchange at the end.

The speaker reviewed the tick history from egg to larvae to nymph to adult, which ultimately can lay up to 2,000 eggs.

Only a small percentage of the insects are actually infected with the disease, which is harbored in their stomachs and takes about 36 hours to move into the blood stream of a victim. If the tick is removed before that time, becoming infected is unlikely.

Key spreaders of the ticks are common perching birds, field mice and mammals small to large up to deer and dogs. Cats don’t seem to be a prime target. The ticks are temperature sensitive to strong sunlight and high heat.

NEW So they tend to lie on grass, weeds and ! bushes in shady areas where there is vegetation ground cover. He recommended that bird feeders be kept well away from garden areas and stressed the importance of checking pets, children and selves after every incursion into tick territory.

There are effective cures for the disease, once it is properly diagnosed, but a timely diagnosis remains a problem as it could take up to months before blood tests can be confirmed.

There are also combatants such as tick predators and tickicides. Some of the most effective measures now used in the United States remain to be approved by Health Canada for legal use, he said.

Locally, the number one hot spot for infected ticks is Prince Edward Point Wildlife Area at the southeast tip of the county and anywhere within 20 kilometres of that area. But cases .COM have been found in Belleville, Trenton and throughout the area. They could be “any place” in Ontario, he said.

He also recommended fine nosed tweezers as the best tool for properly removing the ticks, pulling them Visit our website, click the calendar straight out and avoiding crushing the and start posting events FREE! 2016 armoured bodies.

Big bikes, Wild Hawgs will make Ride for Hunger a fun event

By Stephen Petrick Belleville – Motorcyclists from the community will again rev their engines this spring to participate in the Ride for Hunger.

Bikers will gather at Market Square around 11 a.m. to register and begin the ride at 12 noon.

The ride takes them along a route that covers Prince Edward County. They’re expected back at Market Square around 1 p.m. where a great party will take place.

Bikers will be treated to a pig roast supplied

by Wild Hawg Catering. The general public can

purchase a chicken dinner or burgers.

Country/rock band Wisky Burn will also entertain the crowd.

The cost to register is $25 per motorcycle, plus an additional $10 for a passenger.

The proceeds all go to Gleaners Food Bank.

Gleaners Director of Operations Susanne Quinlan said the event is one of her favourites of the year, as it often signals the start of the great weather season.

“It kicks off summer. It’s outside and Canadians want to get outside,” she said. “Enjoy the bikes and the music.”

Three charged in $1 million fraud case in Belleville Belleville – Three Belleville residents have been charged in a $1 million fraud case involving a financial institution in the city. The institution has not been named.

Charged with theft over $5,000, fraud over $5,000 and money laundering is 46-year-old Cheryl Drumm. George Misuraca, 54, and 52-year-old Allan William Lasher are both charged with fraud over $5,000 and theft over $5,000. Misuraca and Drumm are also charged with breach of trust.

Belleville police were contacted by representatives at a local financial institution in October 2015 with a complaint regarding the actions of a

former employee.

A seven-month investigation determined that in excess of $1 million was stolen in a period between January 2010 and June 2015.

All three were given June 16 court dates.

Misuraca is best known in Belleville as a karate instructor, as he owns Misuraca Karate Academy, a business on Highway 62, north of the city.

He was also quoted in a Belleville News story from December 2013, in which he said construction on Highway 62 contributed to a decision to close another business he owned, TST Liquidation.

Bay of Quinte’s marketing campaign recognized “Isn’t it Time?”

The Bay of Quinte region’s 2015 marketing campaign asked consumers and locals alike to pose this question when it came to discovering our pocket of Ontario as the best place to live, work and play.

In May 2016, Bay of Quinte agency of record, the Amherst Island­based firm Engagers, accepted an ACE (Achieving Communication Excellence) Award from the Canadian Public Relations Society for its work in executing the campaign.

Past winners of this award include Weber Shandwick’s campaign for McDonald’s Canada, and APEX Public Relations with WalMart Canada.

Bay of Quinte’s “Isn’t it Time?” took a multi­pronged approach, focusing on the rural, culinary and water­based assets of the region, combin-

ing tourism marketing with resident attraction strategies targeted at the Greater Toronto Area east market.

The campaign, which tied together the efforts of both the Bay of Quinte Tourism and Bay of Quinte Living councils, included direct outreach to more than 200,000 people at trade shows like the Toronto Outdoor Adventure Show, the Roundhouse Winter Craft Beer Festival and the National Home Show, paired with publications like the Globe & Mail and Canadian Real Estate Wealth, and was driven by a 30-­second TV commercial that aired on CTV and CTV2 in Winter 2015 to over eight million people.

Year over year, the region saw hotel occupancy double during the summer tourism season, as well as a 28 per cent increase in home sales.

Quinte Conservation’s Earth Day rain barrel sale raises almost $2,000 Quinte Conservation launched its first annual rain barrel sale on April 22 to support Earth Day 2016.

The organization raised $1,758 for the Adopt An Acre program. Quinte Conservation sold 161 rain barrels and 74 rain barrel accessories.

Quinte Conservation Communications Manager, Jennifer May-Anderson says, “we are ecstatic about the success of our first annual rain barrel sale. We raised enough funds to support upcoming projects in 2017 at local conservation areas.

We are extremely grateful to all who supported our sale as this organization relies heavily on support from our community.”

May-Anderson added, “each year we offer local residents the opportunity to symbolically ‘adopt’ an acre of conservation land to help protect and preserve local green spaces.

“For $20 donors receive a tax receipt and an adoption B4

Section B - Thursday, May 19, 2016

certificate in the name of a loved one, friend, teacher or anyone who is interested in supporting a local environmental cause. People can adopt their acre by visiting or calling the Quinte Conservation office or going online to www.quinteconservation.ca.”

Belleville Toyota contributed to the cause by donating $250. The car dealership adopted an acre for each person who test drove a new Prius during the month of April.

Quinte Conservation encourages people to participate in the upcoming annual rain barrel sales which will take place every spring. The organization hopes to adopt out 250 acres of land this year. Last year the program raised close to $5,000.

Quinte Conservation is a community-based environmental protection agency. It serves 18 municipalities in the watersheds of the Moira, Napanee and Salmon Rivers and Prince Edward County.

It’s also the site of Green Gables, which inspired Lucy Maud Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables Thousand Islands: Our nearest national park is one of Canada’s smallest, and it’s unique because it’s made up of several islands that are only accessible by boat. There are picnic and camping facilities found on several of these islands, but many of us have simply enjoyed this park by taking a Thousand Islands cruise from Kingston or Gananoque for a day.

Wapusk: This fascinating park is located just south of Churchill, Manitoba, and it protects one of the world’s major polar bear denning areas; after all, “Wapusk” is the Cree word for “White

Canada has more than 40 awesome national parks, and I’m going to mention 12 of the best in this week’s travel piece.

However, if you can wait another year to visit them, you’ll discover that entrance will be FREE next year!

The government has announced that this will be a part of our celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday, in 2017. In addition, all these parks will be free for children under the age of 18 starting in 2018, and any adult who becomes a new Canadian citizen will be given a year’s free pass.

This is an attempt to get us to explore our own beautiful country and to spend some quality time in our national parks, including the following dozen: Banff: I’ve visited this beautiful park on more than one occasion, and I’d highly recommend checking out Canada’s very first national park. Located in Alberta, on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains, it’s one of our premier destinations. Be sure to check out both resort towns of Banff and Lake Louise, and enjoy the park’s spectacular hiking trails, plentiful wildlife, and eye-popping scenery. Explore both the Trans Canada Highway and the Bow Valley Parkway within this park, and then take the Icefields Parkway, my favourite route, all the way to Jasper.

Cape Breton Highlands: About a third of the spectacular Cabot Trail passes through this Nova Scotia park that’s located on Cape Breton Island. This park is renowned for its steep cliffs and deep river canyons, so expect some nailbiting curves on this route. The Acadian village of Cheticamp is located at the western entrance to the park, and the eastern side has the intriguing beaches A view of Banff from the summit of Sulphur Mountain. at Ingonish, on the Atlantic Ocean.

Many long distance cyclists have tackled this challenging route.

Wood Buffalo: This is Canada’s largest national park, and it stretches into parts of both the Northwest Territories and Alberta. It protects the world’s largest herd of free roaming wood buffalo.

I fondly remember, several years ago, passing a sign in the park indicating a “Buffalo Crossing”. Believe it or not, but just as I approached this sign, a herd of buffalo actually began to cross the gravel road, right in front of my vehicle!

Now that’s quite a coincidence!
