Trent River levels decline as high Lake Ontario and Bay of Quinte levels persist BY ERIN STEWART

June. “We’re just going to keep doing what we do and try to keep the parking lot as clear as we possibly so we can serve our customers,” he said. “We won’t let it go in the building, we’ll just add more pumps, the parking lot may be wet but we can deal with that.” The Flood Warning issued on May 5 for the Trent River from Hastings to Trenton remains in effect and there continues to be minor flooding on some access roads, backyards and basements in low lying areas along the river.

High water levels and flows along the Trent River and Rice Lake have started to decline after reaching peak levels in the past several days. Residents living in low lying, floodplain areas along Rice Lake and the Trent River within the municipalities of Alnwick/Haldimand, Trent Hills and Quinte West should anticipate water levels to continue a gradual drop through the weekend, however, water levels and flows will remain high for at least a week or more. The Flood Warning issued on May 8 for Lake Ontario and Bay of Quinte

Quinte West – The spring flood of 2017 soaks on, for many, but there’s relief in sight, say officials. Above normal rain through April and early May combined with saturated ground conditions and the formula of factors continues to cause high water level concerns, stated the Lower Trent Conservation in the latest flood warning update. Over the past weekend, Trenton’s Freshco, located at the mouth of the Trent River on the Bay of Quinte, was faced with a flooding parking lot as water levels continue to rise in the Bay of Quinte and Lake Ontario. “We’re all good around the building, the one end is kind of overflowing but we sandbagged there a couple of days ago, the problem is just the catch basins because the water is just so high,” said Clarence Blakely, owner/ operator of Freshco in Trenton on Monday, May 21. Blakely said he was not worried because the situation was under control, thanks to help and a couple of pumps for the parking lot from the Quinte West Fire Department and the city’s Public Works department. “The fire department and public works have been absolutely amazing, they’ve been so, so helpful as well as volunteers helping sandbag and we’re just keeping the water away from the building,” he said. Blakely estimated the water level is three feet higher than normal and high levels are expected to persist into

shoreline from Grafton to Quinte West remains in effect. Lake Ontario water levels have surpassed record high levels. As of Thursday, May 18, the daily average water level measured at Cobourg was 75.79 metres above sea level (masl), which is nine cm above the Lake Ontario 100 year flood elevation of 75.70 masl. Residents living in low-lying, floodprone shoreline areas should anticipate high water level conditions to persist into June. However, increases in the static water level, or stillwater level, over the next couple of weeks will be much less than experienced recently. Additionally, surge related flooding during periods of strong onshore winds and erosion damages from high waves is possible. Bluffs and other shorelines areas may become unstable due to erosion and should be avoided. Residents should pay close attention to weather forecasts for approaching storm systems with high southeast, south or southwest winds. Lower Trent Conservation continues to monitor water levels and weather forecasts as part of its flood forecasting and warning program. Daily water level information is available on the Lower Trent Conservation website at ltc.on.ca/flood/ffw/ cc/. If you have concerns about water levels, contact Lower Trent Conservation at (613) 394-4829.

BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton – Dr. R. Younes Dental Care is giving free dental care to the community during the sixth annual dentistry from the heart event on Friday June 2. Community members 18 years or older will have their choice of filling, extraction or cleaning performed at no cost. Registration will start at 7:30 a.m. and patients will be seen until 5 p.m. “We like to see 100 patients but, as it’s been in the past, we see as many patients that have been here,” said Tammy Angelo, front administrative team leader at Dr. R. Younes Dental Care. “We do and have had patients lining up at midnight so when we’re coming in here at 6 a.m. or 6:30 a.m. to setup we already have a number of

patients lined up.” Angelo said they are excited to be able to offer free dental care for the day. “Without this service, for someone to be able to get their teeth cleaned, they wouldn’t be able to do it if we didn’t do this for them.” Being able to give back to the community is rewarding, said Angelo, and the team has high hopes for the sixth annual event. “What we can do and what we get from the community is so rewarding, it’s amazing how many people come back to say ‘you have no idea what you’ve done for me,’ it feels amazing and we’re so glad to provide that care for patients,” she said. Dr. R. Younes Dental Care is located at 96 Division St. in Trenton.

Trent-Severn too dangerous for boaters, closed until May 26 BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton — The navigation season on the Trent-Severn Waterway is delayed one week until May 26 at 9 a.m. due to elevated water levels and the velocity of water going through the system. “At this point, with Quinte West being at the bottom of the system, it’s currently draining all of the lakes above it so there’s quite a bit of water going through,” said Chad Buchner, manager of operations for the Trent Severn Waterway. “Into the next few days and into the next week it’s going to continue with the high rate of water going though.” Navigation is just too dangerous with the current moving through the waterway, he said. “To have anyone boating or trav-

elling within close proximity to the fast-moving water is just not deemed safe for boating,” he said. “There’s just so much water going through that it’s just too dangerous to travel through in those kind of currents.” Water levels to the north are starting to decline and the lake levels in the Kawarthas are starting to decline as well. “They’ve hit their peak and they’re starting to run down, it’s just going to take us about a week to get it to where the water flows can be reduced and the water levels can get back into the somewhat navigational range,” he said. The Trent Severn hasn’t been closed for navigation in the spring for some time now, said Buchner, but they’re continually monitoring

the flows and if there is any unforeseen amount of rain it still looks like opening will be set for their goal of May 26. “Part of our reason that we’re trying to get to the 26 is because it is a special season for us, we are looking at increased visitation coming through and a very exciting season for us, it’s the first time in a long time that we’ll be providing free lockage,” said Buchner. While the one-week delay will slow down some people from getting to the system, Buchner said he’s very encouraged that it’s going to be a great summer on the TrentSevern. Craig Carter, manager of the Trent Port Marina, said the oneweek delay doesn’t impact the marina.

“We would prefer it to be open but no, it doesn’t effect us,” he said, adding boaters aren’t at the marina waiting for the Trent-Severn to open. “We’ve had a few phone call asking if it were open and if it were we think boaters would be coming but not at this point, all they have to do is get on route and they’re aware that the water is where it is and they stay in contact with the system, boaters know,” said Carter. Everyone all the way up the system has high hopes for an increase in business with free lockage this

season, said Carter. With about 130 seasonal boat slips sold at the Trent Port Marina, Carter said they haven’t sold as many season boat slips as they hoped for but they continue to take more boats in. “The season is just starting so we really haven’t had the weather or the interest up until this point,” he said. “It hasn’t been boating weather, people just aren’t committed yet.”

Motorcyclists and off-roaders vulnerable to fatal collisions: OPP As numerous motorcyclists and off-road vehicle enthusiasts plan to hit roads and trails during the Victoria Day weekend, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is pointing out trends that can make these seasonal drivers vulnerable to fatal collisions. According to OPP traffic data, a significant number of motorcyclists continue to be killed in collisions that are no fault of their own. In 2016, 10 of the 28 motorcycle drivers killed on OPP-patrolled roads were reportedly not at fault in the crashes that claimed their lives. The previous year painted an even grimmer picture for safe motorcycle drivers, with 14 of the 27 who died in road crashes in 2015 reportedly being not at fault. In contrast, OPP data reveals a significant number of off-road vehicle (ORV) drivers who continue to contribErin Stewart/Metroland ute to their own demise, with the majority of deaths being

curb suspect apprehension pursuits, this long weekend the OPP is also launching the Satellite Technology Apprehension Response or STAR Pilot Project. Three marked front line OPP patrol vehicles have been equipped with a global positioning projectile launching system. When a motorist fails to stop for the OPP, a GPS projectile, once deployed by one of these vehicles, attaches to the suspect vehicle and a GPS signal is sent that allows the vehicle to be safely tracked, in real time, by one of the OPP's provincial communications centres. This will allow officers to be constantly updated on the location and whereabouts of the offender and to safely move in and make an arrest, thereby eliminating the need to engage in a suspect apprehension pursuit.

directly linked to alcohol/ drug impairment and riding without a helmet. Alcohol/drug impairment was a factor in 13 of the 22 ORV deaths that occurred in OPP jurisdictions last year. While there were fewer ORV fatalities in 2015, six of the 14 deaths that year were attributed to an alcohol/drugimpaired ORV driver. Further stacking the odds of survival against ORV riders is driving without a helmet. Of the 22 riders who died in incidents last year, nine were not wearing a helmet. Helmets were even scarcer in 2015 incidents, with six of the 14 deceased riders found without one. The OPP is reminding all drivers, on and off-road, that driving defensively and safely will go a long way toward reducing deaths on Ontario roads and trails.

OPINION

Iran’s Election and the problem with Rouhani The six-week campaign is over, and 55 million Iranians will vote in the first round of the presidential election on Friday. Or rather, most of those 55 million people will vote, but many will not, because there is disillusionment Gwynne Dyer great with President Hassan Rouhani’s promises to improve the economy – and therefore also with the international treaty on curbing Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions that was supposed to bring back prosperity. Donald Trump (who calls the treaty “one of the worst deals ever signed”) is not alone in seeing it as a failure. Although Rouhani’s main challenger in this election, hardline cleric Ebrahim Raisi, does not formally reject the deal, his whole campaign is focussed on the fact that the end of foreign economic sanctions did not bring Iranians the rapid economic relief that Rouhani had promised Iran has a big, middle-income economy with a large industralised sector, but largely because of those sanctions it has been in the doldrums for the past decade. Incomes have stagnated or fallen, youth unemployment is 26 percent, and many people have lost faith in Rouhani. Forty-three per cent of Iranians “strongly approved” of the “Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action” (JCPOA), as the deal is called, when it was signed two years ago. Now only 21 per cent “strongly approve”. Yet nothing has actually changed with the deal. Rouhani’s problem is that nothing much has changed in the economy either. The Western partners in the JCPOA, the so-called “Five plus One” (the United States, Russia, Britain, Germany, France and the European Union) have been slow to remove the sanctions, mainly because of foot-dragging in Washington – although the U.S. government was quick enough to grant a waiver when Boeing wanted to sign a $16.6 billion deal to sell 80 passenger aircraft to Iran Air last December. The bigger problem for Iran is that major international banks have been reluctant to re-engage with Iran because they fear being caught out if the U.S. reneges on the deal and reimposes sanctions. So the Iranian economy continues to bump along the bottom, and a lot of people who voted for Rouhani last time say they will sit this election out. Ebrahim Raisi is capitalizing on this disil-

lusionment by running a populist campaign promising “work and dignity”. He is thought to have the tacit backing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who is the final authority in Iran’s peculiar blend of democracy and theocracy. Khamenei has not given his public backing to any candidate in this election (there are also two less well-known candidates running for the presidency). It is generally assumed, however, that he supports Raisi, who is best known as one of the four Islamic judges who ordered the execution of thousands of political prisoners in 1988. As a result, Raisi is doing well with his target audiences, the poor, the devout and the ill-educated. If they turn out to vote in large numbers, while more urban, more sophisticated voters express their disappointment with Rouhani’s failure to work miracles by staying home, it is entirely possible that he will beat Rouhani and become the next president. This would plunge the country’s relations with the West back into the deep freeze, but Raisi says he doesn’t care about that: Iran doesn’t need outside help, and his goal is to restore the values of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. But it certainly wouldn’t improve Iran’s prospects for prosperity, or the entire region’s prospects for peace. Rouhani is trapped between two fires in this election. At home he faces a conservative backlash that condemns his opening to the West and (implicitly) his nuclear deal. It’s not just Trump. Hillary Clinton, while giving the nuclear deal her tepid approval, was just as negative about Iran in general, and Barack Obama regularly recited the misleading mantra about Iran being the “leading state sponsor of terrorism”. As did his predecessors in the US presidency all the way back to Ronald Reagan. Iran is no worse than many of America’s allies in the region (and better than some) in its treatment of its own citizens. It is no more prone to interfering in its neighbours than they are. Yet it is routinely treated by US administrations of both parties as a rogue state that poses a huge and unique threat to the peace of the Middle East. Why? Because it defied the United States and got away with it. The Iranian Revolution of 1979 overthrew Washington’s puppet ruler, the Shah of Iran, and just as in the case of Castro’s revolution in Cuba, the United States has never forgiven it for that crime. Whereas by now Iranians have more or less forgiven the US for the CIA-backed coup in 1953 that destroyed Iranian democracy and gave the Shah supreme power in the first place.

When the going gets tough, fewer penalties get called Comment by John Campbell Even those following the National Hockey League playoffs in a desultory fashion – a group that now includes legions of disappointed Leafs and Canadiens fans but certainly not the avid supporters of the Senators and their new farm team – will have noted with disgust the amount of stick work that has gone on. It’s downright nasty at times. From slashes to the hands and legs to crosschecks and high sticks to the head and torso. No less repugnant are bodies being rammed into the boards from behind. ‘Twas ever thus in the NHL: The rough stuff escalates when the stakes get higher. But these playoffs have exacerbated a season-long trend of players applying body and lumber with malevolent intent or callous disregard to a degree not seen since the Broad Street Bullies – a dark period in league history. To a casual observer unfamiliar with what euphemistically constitutes a “hockey play,” it would appear some players prefer to employ their sticks less as instruments in the production/prevention of goals than wield them as weapons for the administration of pain whenever the opportunity arises. In fact, the term stick check has taken on a new meaning and no longer refers to a benign way of stripping another player of the puck. Often it involves a sharp rap on the glove, which, in one notorious instance, resulted in a Senator being sidelined after having a finger tip slashed open on a play that’s become the distressing norm rather than the exception. The offender, predictably, blamed the injury on the lack of protection where the hand was struck, not the act itself. “If you get it in the right spot those plays happen,” and the harm done can be serious, Pittsburgh Penguin superstar Sydney Crosby admitted. But those plays “have happened for a long time,” and it’s because of “cameras and things (that) you just see every one now,” he added. “You used to be able to be discreet if you’re going after a guy’s hands.” The need for discretion – as in doing something unnoticed as opposed to exercising good judgment – has become less so in today’s NHL.

A slash on the wrist is as likely to draw a tut-tut from officials as it is a slap on the wrist (a two-minute penalty, and not a five-minute major). Those who commit obvious fouls too frequently go unpunished, particularly when the misdeeds occur in the playoffs, that strange time of the year when malefactors are granted a certain dispensation, presumably for the spectacle their unrestrained violence provides. The excuse given for referees pocketing their whistles, in the third period, overtime and seven-game series, is that, beyond the profession’s endemic incompetence, it’s “to let the players play” and not have officials interrupt the flow by insisting that rules be obeyed. In truth, the effect is to let only a certain number of players do their thing unimpeded, the ones bereft of talent, and not the rarer breed who show a spark of creativity and offensive mojo. They are the unfortunate ones who at all cost are reigned in, by hook (uncalled) or by crook. Crosby himself became a victim of a brutal play in the series against the Washington Capitals when he was high-sticked and then cross-checked in rapid succession, leaving him concussed for the fifth time. He missed one game. The league took the loss of its superstar in stride. It doesn’t expend much energy into protecting its players, even those who generate the most excitement. The reason for one of the sport’s most gifted athletes being injured produced no great consternation among the game’s stewards. Big shots and cheap shots – they all have the same entertainment value as far as the NHL is concerned. The players themselves are equally to blame for the sad state of affairs: the individuals who inflict harm, and the union for doing so little to ensure a safe working environment for its members. Sadly, it seems the NHL will only cease turning a blind eye to the mayhem when that same mayhem results in a player being blinded. Or getting his bell rung – on the ice, then at his funeral service.

Close to 1,000 students to take part in water festival at Batawa BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Batawa – The 8th annual Tri-County Children’s Water Festival will take place May 25 and 26 at the Batawa Ski Hill and close to 1,000 Grade 3, 4 and 5 students are expected to attend to learn about Earth’s most precious natural resource – water. “With less than one percent of all water found on the planet easily accessible and suitable for human use, everyone needs to be aware of how to use it wisely and keep it clean,” says the event’s facilitator, Lower Trent Conservation, in a news release. “The Tri-County Children’s Water Festival provides youth with the opportunity to discover the importance and diversity of water through hands-on activity stations.” Students will make their way

through a series of 34 stations that focus on water conservation, technology and science. “Teaching students about what they can do in their personal lives to protect our local water resources is a core activity at Lower Trent Conservation,” said Lower Trent CAO Glenda Rodgers.. Activity centres will be provided by The City of Quinte West OPP, Public Works and Fire Department (Station 5), Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change, Ontario Power Generation, Kokum Makwa Cultural Enterprises, Toronto Zoo, and Kawartha Turtle Trauma Centre. Participating schools include those in Grafton, Colborne, Brighton, Warkworth, Frankford, Stirling, Batawa, Trenton, Bayside, Marmora, Madoc, Belleville, Tyen-

dinaga, and Prince Edward County. Key sponsors are Lower Trent Conservation, Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan, RBC Foundation, Ontario Power Generation, and private donations. Volunteers play a huge role, as roughly 85 adult volunteers along with 28 students from Trenton High School’s Outer Limits class will assist with setup and provide instruction at the teaching centres. The Quinte Children’s Water Festival is organized by a committee of six local organizations – Lower Trent Conservation, Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan, Batawa Ski Hill, Algonquin & Lakeshore Catholic District School Board, Quinte Conservation, Batawa Development Corporation – two community volunteers, Eldon Burchart and Barb Toffelmire.

Frankford Lions Club revives soap box tradition BY ERIN STEWART

Frankford — It was a roaring long weekend with the return of the soap box race in Frankford. Thanks to the Frankford Lions Club, youth aged seven to 16 gathered at Frankford’s Mill Street hill to partake in the races, many of them for their first time. Caleb Hagihristos, 12, said he was kind of nervous for his first soap box race on Saturday, May 20. “It’s pretty fun, it’s cramped but it feels good to go in the carts and go down the hill,” he said. “I think I’ll do it next year.” Another racer, Kayden Jarvis, 12, said he had a great time. “I thought it was really fun and exciting to go down the hill really fast,” he said. “I would definitely come back next year because it was really fun. I’d be interesting in building my own cart with my uncle. I think that would be really cool.” More than 40 kids were regisEric Mountenay, 11, smiles as he nears the finish line during the soap box race tered for the event and used cars in Frankford on Saturday May 20. Erin Stewart/Metroland provided for the racers.

Dr. Suresh Appan & Associates

Randi Drake, Frankford Lions Club volunteer, said they used to do the soap box races all of the time when she was a kid, about 20 years ago, and they wanted to bring it back. “This year it’s taken us a good four months to put it together, but we’ve had a great deal of community support,” she said. “The city mentioned it and said it would be cool to bring it back, we honestly didn’t think we’d be able to pull it off because it was a lot of work, but surprisingly we had the whole town come together.” The race made an awesome comeback and the kids loved it, said Drake. “They’re having a blast and that just means so much, I’ve never seen this much of the town out and about and just enjoying it, it’s all about the kids,” she said, adding this is just the beginning. “We’re bringing it back next year, we’re bringing it back bigger. We want people to start

building their cars now. We will have the seven cars, if anyone wants to bring in their own car we will have it set up to check over their safety and we will be letting them go,” she said. “This is just the start.” The Lions’ soap box race was accompanied by the Lions annual yard sale, bat and ball adult slow pitch tournament, vendor market and the lions den event at the Lions Hall. All of the Lions events compliment the Frankford Riverfest and add to the fun, said Drake. “Riverfest, when I was growing up, was the whole town, we got everyone out and Frankford was on the map because of Riverfest,” she said. “It’s kind of died down so it will be nice to get it all back and we hope next year to have a few more vendors and more activities down the street as well.” The more community support, the better Riverfest will be, said Drake.

Frankford Riverfest revamped; kids, parents love it BY ERIN STEWART

Frankford â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The annual Frankford Riverfest went in a different direction over the long weekend, this year offering a plethora of free events for kids of all ages. The typical carnival and rides setup was replaced with free face painting, multiple bouncy castles, obstacle courses, an outdoor petting zoo, balloon twisting and a vendor village at the Frankford Tourist Park It was a welcomed change, said Nicole Derouchie, who brought her family, including two-year-old son Marshall Bird, out for the day on Saturday, May 20. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I definitely like it this year because the bouncy castles are a big hit and Marshall, being two, he probably wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been able to

go on a lot of the rides so I was glad to see the bouncy castles,â&#x20AC;? she said. The bouncy castles were a big hit, said Derouchie, along with the petting zoo and the entertainment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been great, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here since they opened the doors,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see Riverfest continue in the new direction in the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even mind paying a couple bucks to get into here. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better than paying for all for the rides that they usually have.â&#x20AC;? Kicking off with a $7 pancake breakfast at the Frankford Full Gospel Tabernacle, Riverfest also included the Quite Access Car Show, cloggers, GO Active stand up paddle board demos, food vendors, Wild Card beer garden and live entertainment from Andy Forgie,

Fade Kings and The Decades Band. For the first time in many years, the Frankford soapbox derby also made a comeback. Karen Parker, events co-ordinator with the City of Quinte West, said the more interactive concept was well received. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think people were ready for a change and change is good,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a ton of people here, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a ton of things for families to do, and the fact that everything is free I think people are really enjoying that.â&#x20AC;? Riverfest is a great time for families to get out, have fun and enjoy the beautiful weather, said Parker, and the grand finale of the spectacular fireworks show is always a big hit.

Aboriginal Day at 8 Wing Trenton an eye-opener for students up the site located at the Aboriginal Gardens, behind the Officer’s Mess. An 8 Wing work party came out the previous week to set up tents and a tee pee in order to give the kids the full experience. Defence Aboriginal Advisory Group (DAAG) civilian member Guy Mandeville, started the previous week setting up banners before heading to the Base garden. The banner he placed by Bain Park was created by students of ENSS almost

five years ago and Mandeville says it’s great to still have it to put up each year. He also found it inspiring that 8 Wing Trenton wanted to showcase the event on base. “It shows that we are recognized in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF),” said Mandeville. During the early morning set up prior to the event, the 8 Wing work crew had some fun with Mandeville building the site. As Mandeville worked with Master Corporal Dierjick of 8 Air Maintenance Squadron (AMS), he chuckled showing her how to tie tee pee poles together. “This is just boy scouts 101, tying these knots,” laughed Mandeville. “I was a girl guide,” said Dierjick, “I can tie these even better because we had hair to braid.” Now, the day of, the garden was filled with Elder Skip Ross explains the importance of the bald eagle to members from 8 Wing Tren- students and ton. CAF members Martin Durkin/Metroland wanting to learn a bit more about Canadian culture and history. Lieutenant-Colonel Leighton James of 424 Transport and Rescue (T&R) Squadron in Trenton was named DAAG Champion, and says he was quite pleased to be the liaison between the aboriginals on base and command. “My job is to BY MARTIN DURKIN

CFB Trenton - Aboriginal Awareness Day at 8 Wing Trenton attracted a large turnout, as classes from Trent River Public School (TRPS) in Trenton and students from East Northumberland Secondary School (ENSS) in Brighton, took a field trip; obtaining a firsthand look at parts of aboriginal traditions. In order for the students to get a real hand experience, a lot of work behind the scenes went into setting

facilitate awareness, show support and share information on any issues pertaining to the aboriginal community,” said James. “Each minority on base has an official rep, so I’m happy to be named Defence Champion of DAAG.” As students from TRPS came into the gardens and moved about the site, they made their way to a lodge to learn about drum making from Petawawa Elder Skip Ross. Grade 5 teacher Mrs. Meyer said that since this is now part of the learning curriculum, it was important for her students to come out and see things first hand. “I want the students to get a better understanding of aboriginal people and obtain a better appreciation for this part of our heritage,” said Meyers. As the kids moved from the drum making lodge and outside, they stopped beside a bald eagle staff.

There Elder Ross told them about the importance of the bald eagle to his culture. “The bald eagle is our most sacred, as it is the animal that flies highest in the sky, the bald eagle sends our messages to the creator,” said Ross. For Ross, who is one of the most respected elders and called, Running River Man amongst his people, his hope was that students take what they learned back to the classroom for further discussion. “I am in my 80’s now, I was until recently a teacher for 38 schools in my county, teaching the ways of aboriginal life. I can’t do that now because of my health, but I will always come down here to Trenton,” said Ross. “I want to promote awareness and understanding and share our roots, which are part of Canada as well.”

Quinte Royals hit home opener out of the park BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton – The Quinte Royals, midget division, hit their home opener out of the park with a 12-0 win over the Kingston Thunder on Saturday May 20. The Royals dominated the Thunder, reigning provincial champs, on their new home field, the new Bayshore Field at Centennial Park. Chris Lisle, Royals head coach, said the home opener was perfect. “The boys played awesome, we were very well prepared,” he said. “Our starting pitcher Jake Rightmeyer threw four innings and then we closed up with Lucas Gilbert and he three another four innings, each one of them had seven strikeouts and only allowed two hits each.” Lisle said the whole team hit well up and down the line up and they had a great day. Quinte West mayor Jim Harrison and councillors Duncan Armstrong, Don Kuntze, Sally Freeman and David McCue attended the opening ceremonies and Freeman made the first pitch. The team is 2-0 to start the

season off to a great start, and will play a double-header on Saturday, May 27 against Kanata at noon and 3 p.m. at Bayshore Field. It’s the first season on the new Bayshore Field, an exciting time said Lisle. “The boys were so excited, it’s a top notch facility, they just love playing there and Kingston loved visiting too,” he said. “The score got a little offside but they still had nothing but good things to say about the park and facilities.” The city’s target for adding lights to the field is mid to late

June, said Lisle, and he’s hopeful everything falls in line. “There’s no real night games planned until July and then tournament season gets crazy in August so hopefully the lights are done by then,” he said. The Quinte West house league teams will begin their seasons this week and Lisle said the midgets are looking forward to hosting the Eastern Ontario Championships at Bayshore Field the weekend of August 18, hosting the best teams from Pickering to Kanata.

Golden Hawks hit end of the road at RBC Cup BY ERIN STEWART

Cobourg — Out of 132 junior A teams across Canada, the Trenton Golden Hawks ended their year in the top five in the country at the 2017 Royal Bank Cup National Junior A Championship. Blanked by the Penticton Vees 4-0 in their final preliminary game on Wednesday, May 17, the Hawks couldn’t make it to the semifinals; but Hawks fans came out in full force to cheer on their team loud and proud. G-Hawks fan Evan Simpson said it wasn’t the ending they hoped for, but the Hawks had a great run. “They made all of us proud. The past few years, they’ve brought Trenton lots of championships, three division titles, two Dudleys, a Buckland, two RBC appearances — we couldn’t be happier,” he said. “There’s no greater feeling than being a Hawks fan cheering on your hometown, and I can’t wait until next year.” After spending three years as a Golden Hawk, assistant captain Nick Boddy said the loss stung, especially because it’s his last year playing in the junior league. “I’m really proud of the team and the stuff we overcame this year,” he said. “We faced a lot of adversity, so I’m proud of what we achieved, winning another Dudley for the second year in a row.” Boddy said he draws consolation from the fact that 127 other teams in the country would have loved to make it to the RBC.

“We really cherished our time here, we didn’t take it for granted. Obviously, this is an opportunity that probably only 0.1 per cent of all hockey players get to experience and having done it twice in a row is obviously very special,” he said. With memories, achievements and friendships that will last a lifetime, “It’s a pretty special thing,” he said. Heading on to the Royal Military College in Kingston next year, Boddy said he will miss the loyal G-Hawks fans. “It’s fans like no other team gets, especially moving into the CIS and university. We are really lucky to have that all year and the past few years I’ve been here. That’s something I’ll definitely miss,” he said. Co-captain Lucas Brown said the loss was a crushing blow, but he couldn’t be more proud of his teammates. “I’ve battled for two years now, and it’s an amazing organization it’s been a pleasure to be a part of,” he said. “Junior hockey is a fun time, and when you have the pleasure of playing with the guys I have over the last two years — I’ve been a part of two amazing teams — it’s tough, but there’s going to be a lot I can look back on and a lot of things I’m going to remember for the rest of my life.” Brown said he was lucky enough to win the Dudley-Hewitt Cup two years in a row. “I’m just happy I was able to do it with the guys I was able to do it with,” he said. Assistant coach Kyle Smart said it’s

Sprints return with a roar to Brighton Speedway Brighton - The Southern Ontario Sprints (SOS) made their first appearance of the season at Brighton Speedway during the Victoria Day long weekend with Dylan Westbrook grabbing the opening-night checker. SOS opener Fifteen cars were on hand for the opening round of the tour schedule. Kyle Fraser (No. 01) and Mitch Brown (No. 10) started on the front row of the 25-lap main event. Brown grabbed the top position on the opening lap and put distance between himself and the field. The defending 2016 series champion Dylan Westbrook (No. 47x) along with teammate Glenn Styres (No. 0) and Rick Wilson (No. 42w) worked by pole-sitter Fraser in the early stages and battled for the second position. By Lap 12 Westbrook had caught the leader and was able to slip by to take the lead with 10 circuits remaining. Brown was unable to keep pace as Westbrook pulled away and drove to his first win of the season. Brown held on to finish second while Wilson, Styres and Lee Ladouceur (No. 51) completed the top five. Triple Crown opener The Vanderlaan Building Supplies pro late model division competed in Race 1 of the Hotch’s Auto Parts Triple

Crown. Caley Weese (No. 77) started on the pole of the 35-lap special event alongside Austin King (No. 89). Weese took control of the race from the drop of the green flag and commanded the race for the first 23 circuits. Brandon Mowat (No. 46) kept pace with Weese, but was forced to the pit area for a cut right rear tire during a Lap 23 caution. The yellow flag was just what Charlie Sandercock (No. 57) needed as the former champion lined up in third on the restart and quickly moved into the second spot when the race went back to green. One lap later he powered by Weese to take the lead and the eventual race win. Phil Potts (No. 29) patiently worked his way through the field and drove to a second-place finish while Brandon Mowat recovered to finish third. Opening-night winner and point-leader Adam Turner crossed the finish line fourth while Steve Baldwin (No. 5) finished fifth.

Catholic school board honours exceptional Quinte-area students, volunteer Three Quinte-area residents received special awards from the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board, which celebrated Catholic Education Week with a special mass on May 2. The Katherine Award, which honours an individual, group or school whose charitable efforts honour the spirit of giving of the late Katharine Splinter, went to Sheila Toner, a dedicated volunteer at St. Carthagh Catholic School in Tweed. Since her retirement 22 years ago as a classroom teacher with the former Hastings Prince Edward County Roman Catholic Separate School Board, Sheila has demonstrated the spirit of giving through her volunteer work at the school. She truly exemplifies the ALCDB’s motto, “Faith in Action” through her volunteer work with the St. Carthagh school community, assisting with the Food for Learning program, and serving as a judge for public speaking and science fairs. She is a pivotal member of the breakfast club, purchasing all food and attending faithfully to prepare a nutritious breakfast for the students of St. Carthagh. Not only is Sheila visible within the school, she

always participates in the monthly school masses and is present at any and all celebrations both at the school and in the Parish. Sheila is a pillar of the Tweed community through her work with the parish, the Catholic Women’s League and Hospice Quinte. For over 22 years she has volunteered her time for this community and is truly an example of Faith in Action, the school board says. The Secondary Student Volunteer Recognition Award, which recognizes individuals who have provided exemplary services to a school, to the benefit of the students and staff of that site, went to Esegent Lemma, a student at Nicholson Catholic College in Belleville. Esegent is a reliable and caring young woman. She is so involved in the life of the Nicholson School community that she is known for being the “go to” person that students approach if they have questions. Esegent’s bubbly, bigger-thanlife personality is infectious. She is a dedicated young woman who has accumulated many hours of volunteering to the benefit of her school, the Belleville community, and her church. Esegent’s list of volunteering at school is plentiful.

She is on student council and has been a welcoming face at Grade 7 orientation, and both the Grade 8 and 9 Parent Nights. Esegent is a member of the Social Justice Club, the Best Buddies Club, and the Gardening Club, as well as being on the School Reach Team and the curling team. Last year she served as a member of the Minister’s Student Advisory Council with the Ministry of Education. Outside of school, Esegent is heavily involved in her church, both as a Sunday school teacher and a vacation bible school leader. This winter she spent countless hours volunteering in the community at Inn From the Cold, serving hot meals to those in need. She has also been involved in activities surrounding International Women’s Day and Relay For Life. Esegent has been nominated for Kindness Awards over the years because of the impact she has had on her fellow students. She is committed to fostering inclusion in the school. She offers her time and talents with humility and grace. She has a heart of gold and a smile that exudes love, caring and a genuine concern for others. Her altruistic nature is a gift to all.

Brianna Young receives her award from chair of the Catholic Education Week committee Nicholas Woolley.

The Student Volunteer Recognition Award, which recognizes individuals who have provided exemplary services to an elementary school, to the benefit of the students and staff of that site, went to Brianna Young, a student at Sacred Heart Catholic School in

Marmora. Brianna creates relationships with the students and staff of Sacred Heart Marmora, with her kind and caring attitude. She is passionate about everything that she does and offers assistance to anyone who may require it. She continually seeks opportu-

nities around her school to lend assistance and guidance to all. Brianna participates in school masses with her singing and volunteers in the kindergarten classroom every lunch hour. She helps the office to organize handouts and distributes them to classrooms. Within her own classroom Bri-

anna seeks out opportunities to assist her peers and helps to decorate and clean. She is a true leader, who has encouraged her classmates to join her in volunteering in the primary classrooms. The younger students on the school yard look for Brianna, their role model, to assist

them with solving problems. She also volunteers her time with the Historical Foundation within the community. Brianna is a perfect example of a student who truly embraces and exemplifies the Ontario Catholic School Graduate Expectations, the school board says.

Entrepreneurs In Action: TH LOGISTICS

Business achievement requires going the extra mile

Trevor Hagerman has worked in transportation since high school. He learned the ins and outs of the industry and successfully built businesses for other people. That can grow very frustrating when you know you could be building something for yourself. It was the support and encouragement of his wife, Shelley, that finally moved him from Operations Manager for someone else to the proud owner of TH Logistics. She insisted he not work from home but instead rent an office space, buy furniture and have a phone system set up – he needed to look and feel ‘in business’. That was in 2008 and he was starting from scratch.

Trenval Business Development Corporation was created in 1987 by the Federal Government to support small business and aspiring entrepreneurs. They grow our local economy by lending funds to small business and managing grant programs. Congratulations to these Trenval clients and successful Entrepreneurs in Action!

The first truth of business is that there is no business if there are no customers so delivering remarkable customer service has been driving TH Logistics from mile one. If a customer needs a big load picked up in New Brunswick and delivered to B.C. by Wednesday – consider it done. Pick up in the States, delivery abroad, big, small, heavy, cumbersome, land, air, sea – done. They have become the best problem solvers in the industry.

Business Start-Up, Expansion, Financing We’re Here to Help

“Becoming an independent agent of Landstar gave us access to a network of safe, reliable transportation logistics and supply chain solutions, 24/7 individual attention to detail, access to more than 36,000 available capacity providers and made TH Logistics uniquely qualified to meet all transportation and logistics needs across North America and around the world.” Today, there are a total of 10 staff at TH Logistics (Shelley’s on board too) and they work out of a very large, beautifully renovated building in Stirling, Ontario. “We needed to acquire commercial space to operate our growing business and that’s what brought us to Trenval. We are ever grateful for the assistance provided by Trenval and their partner, the Business Development Bank of Canada, to help us accomplish our goals!” Shelley said she wishes she had stopped into Trenval way back in the days of setting up the first office. “I had to find out about HST and registering the business and all that on my own. I wish I would have found out about Trenval and their business services sooner.” TH Logistics are Landstars largest independent Canadian agent and have

The first award on the shelf has ‘Trevor Hagerman’ engraved on it. After that, he insisted the company name be inscribed instead because it was the team that was achieving goals not him alone. “Your staff is your greatest asset. Treat them accordingly” says Trevor. Staff are included in monthly goal setting, are encouraged to offer ideas and to feel a sense of ownership. And Trevor insists the company doesn’t become complacent. “We invested in new technology that took our relationship with each customer to the next level”. And even more service enhancements are planned. When you are coordinating the movement of millions of dollars of shipments across North America and globally, the centre of the universe really can be found at www.thlogistics.ca The Board and Staff of Trenval congratulate Trevor and Shelley Hagerman and are proud to have been a part of this success story!

Public Health’s beach monitoring program starts for summer Hastings Prince Edward Public Health’s beach monitoring program has started for the summer and beach-goers will now be able to tell easily if bathing waters at designated public beaches are safe for swimming. Signs will be posted at all beaches monitored by Hastings Prince Edward Public Health. You can also find out if your favourite beach is safe for swimming by calling the beach info-line at 613966-5500 ext. 652 or 1-800-267-2803 ext. 652 or by visiting the Water Safety section of www. hpepublichealth.ca. As of late last week, no beaches were posted as unsafe. However, the health unit is warning that, due to recent flooding, high-

er than normal levels of E. coli contamination may be present in surface waters. Additionally, the public is warned there may be hidden hazards and debris. Lower Trent Conservation is advising the public to exercise extreme caution around all waterways. Strong currents pose a safety hazard to anyone. But, normally, the beach monitoring program is concerned with levels of E. coli bacteria. “Public health staff collects a minimum of five water samples from each beach scheduled for monitoring that week,” says Allison Girouard, a Public Health inspector. “These samples are sent to a provincial lab and tested for levels of E. coli bacteria.”

When bacterial counts exceed provincial guidelines, warning signs are posted at the beach advising that the water is unsafe for swimming. “The health unit also recommends that people do not swim at a public beach for up to 48 hours after a heavy rain because E. coli levels tend to be higher then,” added Girouard. “High levels of bacteria in recreational water can cause skin, ears, eyes, nose and throat infections and stomach disorders.”

“The health unit also recommends that people do not swim at a public beach for up to 48 hours

after a heavy rain because E. coli levels tend to be higher then.” ALLISON GIROUARD, PUBLIC HEALTH INSPECTOR

Inspector with Hastings Prince Edward Public Health. She suggests the following: • Upgrade septic systems and keep them in good working order. • Pet owners should observe local ‘stoop & scoop’ bylaws • Detach eaves troughs from sewers so they discharge onto lawns. This reduces the amount of rainwater going directly into sewers. • Ensure that washroom additions to your home are connected properly to the sanitary sewers. • Fence livestock away from streams and provide them with alternate water sources. • Ensure that runoff from feedlots and manure piles are properly contained.

CANCER CHANGES EVERYTHING. SO CAN YOU. At Relay For Life, no one faces cancer alone. These events bring together teams of family, friends and colleagues to celebrate cancer survivors, remember those we’ve lost and commit to raising funds to fight all types of cancer. Whether you are cheering on survivors, walking the track or joining in exciting trackside activities, Relay For Life is an unforgettable experience!

Teresa’s story Teresa Whaley from Belleville knows the devastating impact cancer has on Canadians: Teresa’s brother passed away due to complications from cancer treatment in March 2014. “By participating in Relay for Life, I feel like I am still trying to help my brother,” says Teresa. “This is my fourth year taking part in Relay.” For more than 75 years, the Canadian Cancer Society has led the fight against cancer and we’ve made incredible progress. Today, more than 60 per cent of Canadians diagnosed with cancer will survive compared to about 25 per cent in the 1940s. We know that more work needs to be done. Due to our aging and growing population, cancer rates are expected to rise by 40 per cent by 2030. This means that more of our friends and family will be hearing the words “you have cancer.” Setting us apart from other cancer charities, we do more to fight cancer. In addition to funding more research into all types of cancer, we educate people about prevention, advocate to government on cancer-related issues and provide support services to patients and their families. Funds raised through the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life are making a real difference in the lives of local people. For instance, our information and support services helped 377 patients in our area last year. Relay For Life is a festival-like fundraising event where team members take turns walking around a track or designated path. Our events are 6 and 12

hours in length. Each team taking part is asked to have at least one member on the track at all times to symbolize the ongoing fight against cancer. Don’t have a team? No worries, you register independently and we can help you join a team or you can create one at a later date.

What happens at a Relay For Life event? Relay For Life is a fun event that is open to people of all fitness levels. Participants walk or run together around a track passing a baton to their team mates and working together toward one common goal - the fight against cancer. Participants also enjoy music, food, fun track-side activities and entertainment.

Our Relay For Life event will feature: A Survivors’ Victory Lap through which cancer survivors and those who are cancer-free or living with the disease are cheered on by all participants in an emotional wave of celebration and support. A Luminary Ceremony, through which luminaries (candles that have been placed in special bags) are lit and look like beautiful lanterns. A luminary is more than just a candle. It is the symbol of a life and a tribute to a loved one and their cancer journey. These luminaries provide light and inspiration for the participants as they walk around the track.

How can I get involved? Cancer changes everything. So can you. Relay For Life in: Quinte West May 27 Brighton June 9 Picton June 16 Belleville June 23

TRAVEL

Checking out Utah’s Largest National Park BY JOHN M. SMITH

Utah’s Canyonlands National Park reminds me somewhat of Arizona’s Grand Canyon National Park. Both are mammoth, and both offer humungous, colourful landscapes that have been eroded into a plethora of canyons, mesas, pinnacles, and buttes, carved by the Colorado River and its tributaries. The Grand Canyon is, of course, larger and more often visited, but Utah’s largest park also has a lot to offer. I used Moab as my base for my visit to Utah’s largest park, and the park’s most popular section, the Island in the Sky, is just a short drive away (32 mi./51 km.). Upon arrival, I discovered that this awesome section is, quite literally, like visiting an island in the sky, for it’s the highest part of the park, a gigantic mesa, and it offers incredibly spectacular panoramic views. I could peer into canyons that were spread out far below, and I could see for a distance of perhaps a hundred miles. It was like being on the top of a very high observation tower and surveying all that was laid out beneath! I peered down, perhaps about 1,000 feet below me, at the White Rim, a nearly continuous sandstone surface that follows the contours of the gigantic mesa, and then far below that again I could see the Colorado and Green Rivers flowing gently, almost sedately, surrounded by mammoth canyon walls. However, when these two rivers eventually meet, much further south within this park, there’s a dramatic, powerful change, for they will suddenly swirl furiously through a stretch of world-class whitewater that’s known as the Cataract Canyon. There are a lot of contrasts like that in this amazing park, for I saw dead looking shrubs clinging to the rocky edge of the high cliffs, beautiful wildflowers flourishing in the desert-like landscape, and pine trees apparently growing right out of the slickrock (smooth wind-polished rock). How can their roots take hold and survive in that rock? I also saw tiny, twisting dirt roads that wound their way down those massive canyon walls, all the way to the canyon floor – an invitation for the four-wheel drive daredevil or the avid mountain biker (but no ATVs are allowed). In fact, the best mountain bike trail in the entire park is found in this section: the 100 mi./165 km. White Rim Trail, which loops around and below the large mesa top. What a challenge!

Entering Utah’s Canyonlands National Park. John M. Smith/Metroland

I stopped at Island in the Sky Visitor Centre to get some pertinent information about this park, and I stopped at several exceptional lookouts along this route. Arguably the best spot was the Grand View Point Lookout, at the end of the road, but I also enjoyed the Buck Canyon Overlook, Candlestick Tower Overlook, Green River Overlook, Upheaval Dome, Mesa Arch, and the Shafer Canyon Overlook. Inspirational! If you’re only spending a day in the Island in the Sky district of the park, I’d recommend doing some of the very best hiking trails, including the I mi./1.6 km. Grand View Trail (leading to the very southern tip of the Island in

the Sky plateau), the 1 mi./1.6 km. Upheaval Dome Overlook Trail (viewing a large crater on the west side of the plateau), the 1 mi./1.6 km. Aztec Butte Trail (passing a cliff dwelling and several ancient Anasazi granaries), and the even shorter Mesa Arch Loop (.6 mi/1 km.). If you’re staying longer, backcountry permits and rafting permits may be purchased. Although the Island in the Sky section of the park is the most visited, Canyonlands National Park is actually spread out over four districts, so it’s also possible to access a different part of the park by heading south of Moab and then west on route #211. This drive will take you to the Needles, a group of massive sandstone

spires. This section may remind you of another of Utah’s fascinating parks, Arches National Park, for you’ll find Angel Arch, Castle Arch, Druid Arch, and Wooden Shoe Arch here. You’ll also find the Needles Visitor Centre, of course, and the short Roadside Ruin Trail leads from this Centre to an ancient Puebloan granary. As you drive

along this section of the park’s roadway, you’ll find a great viewpoint at the Big Spring Canyon Overlook, and the best view of the Needles themselves is found via the Elephant Hill access road. Short, interesting hikes are located at Cave Spring (passing a spring, some pictographs, and relics of an old cowboy camp) and Pothole Point (renowned for its reflective pools and potholes that form after a rainfall). More challenging hikes are also available, including the 10 mi./16 km. Confluence Overlook Trail, which leads to a cliff high above the junction of the park’s two major rivers. The westernmost section of this large park is known as The Maze, and it’s the most rugged and difficult to access. In fact, you won’t get there via car at all. You’ll need a four-wheel-drive vehicle to get into this wild jungle of canyons on very rough, isolated, and rugged so-called “roads”. However, if you were to visit this particular area in your Hummer, check out its Horseshoe Canyon (where rangers offer guided weekend hikes in the spring and fall), Maze Overlook, and Chimney Rock. Utah’s Canyonlands National Park has much to offer the adventurer. It’s, indeed, a grand, wild, fascinating destination.

The Good Earth A few flowering trees always brighten up spring

CHAINSAW CHALLENGE

Dan Clost

This morning I walked down our side pathway which is shaded by a very mature clump - almost a copse of French hybrid lilacs. I was stopped in my tracks by the delicate fragrance of the blossoms. I’m fortunate in that my workplace gives me occasion to enjoy the scents of spring ahead of their time; especially when we receive forced bulbs (induced to flower ahead of their natural season), of which the

most welcome are hyacinths. During the dreary almost interminable days of March, they smell lovely; however, there is, to me, a feeling of “closedness” which I know is not a real word. Perhaps it is psychological, perhaps it is an innate knowing that, as pleasant as it is, the perfume is not “free.” The floral essence of spring is meant to be carried by soft breezes wherever that may be. I know I can approach a flow-

er and stuff my snoot into the bloom (always checking for busy pollinators first) but capturing a hint of fragrance on the wind is guaranteed to bring a smile to my face. Lilacs and apple blossoms share equal billing for me. Many years ago, I worked in the Morning Star Orchards just west of Trenton. Can you imagine, Gentle Reader, standing in the middle of 90 acres of apple trees in full bloom? What a wonderful stroke of fortune that allowed me to experience that. A close third is the perfume of the peony. (Oddly enough, I very much dislike the smell of roses and Lilies of the Valley.) Equally unusual, according to our customers, I’m not overly fond of magnolias. I’m sure you’ve noticed, GR, that this is turning into a fabulous season for spring flowering shrubs and trees. I don’t ever recall the forsythia flowers being so vibrant and enduring; let’s hope they’re a harbinger of a fantastic gardening season. I did a quick tour of the Clost estate to inventory the flowers: several clumps of

French hybrid lilacs, a Belgian variety which I’ve not been able to name, a delicate Tinkerbelle lilac (Syringa meyeri x Syringa microphylla), a redbud tree (Cercis canadensis), several wayfaring shrubs (Viburnum lantana ‘Mohican’) and a dogwood standard (Cornus kousa var chinensis.) Unfortunately, our apple tree did not make it through the winter - it had been in decline for a few years - so I’ve resorted to vicarious apple blossom sniffing at the nursery. This column is intended, primarily, for new home owners: which can be read as people who are new to owning homes, or people who have just purchased a new home which has a bare landscape. Now is the time to tour the neighbourhoods and nurseries to decide which ones, appeal most. In the neighbourhoods mature specimens will give you two important pieces of information: whether or not you like it and whether or not a certain plant will grow in your area. At commercial outlets, you might be dismayed at the size of the plants and

the monetary value ascribed to them. I can’t help you there. What you will see is the exact blossom colour. Is Ludwig Spathe darkest of the lilacs or is it Yankee Doodle? If you limit yourself to just reading the literature you’ll see that some folk describe Congo as a redpurple and Paul Thirion as a blue-purple: you’ll see Agincourt Beauty, Monge, Donald Wyman, Minuet, Dark Knight, and etc. and etc. all with the word “purple” affixed as a descriptor. Flowering crab-apples are very similar in that regard. You have to see them in bloom to know. Other bloomers you might check out include the magnolias which have many smaller-sized offerings, redbuds, stone fruits such as peaches, apricots, nectarines and cherries, ornamental cherries- especially Higan and Kwanzan cultivars, and Japanese lilac- Canadian bred ‘Ivory Silk’ is a beautiful performer. Large trees such as catalpas and horsechestnuts can be stunning but they do need a lot of space.

Pedal for Hope is now Give Where You Live campaign After five successful years, police officers behind the cancer-fighting Pedal for Hope Quinte team are embarking on a new adventure This year the officers and volunteers who brought you the Pedal for Hope Quinte are switching gears, changing their name and revving up a new program to be called Give Where You Live . It symbolizes a new era in locally-based fundraising with local elementary students. The same police officers will now be visiting local elementary schools in the fall of 2017 during a cycling event, offering a dynamic, fun-filled school assemblies and a positive message of hope to thousands of students across Hastings and Prince Edward counties. The same event format will be used, with tour dates tentatively from October 10 to October 20. The tour dates and times will be finalized in early September 2017. Symbolizing the local support for this new initiative, all of the same sponsors with Pedal for Hope Quinte – Reid’s Dairy, Canadian Tire Belleville and Bayview Auto Belleville – have remained on board for this new venture. As well, the families of children who have had, or are battling, cancer have expressed their positive support for the change. “The Pedal for Hope Quinte tour was an incredible venture for all police officers involved,” noted organizer Const. Jeremy Ashley of the Belleville Police Service. “And the same crew is continuing to volunteer under a new name ‘ Give Where You Live’ - which we feel better represents our goals working

Over the years, Camp Trillium’s OuR Island has not only offered local children living with cancer and their families a special experience, but has made it a priority to support local businesses, hire local students and staff from Prince Edward and Hastings counties. Money raised through the Give Where You Live program will assist in maintaining and upgrading the aging facilities at the campground.

with our community.” Sgt. James Locke of the Ontario Provincial Police said the officers involved are eager to re-engage elementary students in Prince Edward and Hastings counties with a refreshed outlook. “The program we created and refined over the past several years has helped to establish new relationships with children in our local communities – and that’s something that we will continue and expand upon with Give Where You Live.” The beneficiary of the 2017 tour will be Camp Trillium’s OuR Island, which is lo-

Public school board grad rates increase, below provincial average The Hastings Prince Edward District School board saw an increase in its graduation rate in 2016; pleasing news for a school board that’s put a focus on student success in its strategic plan. The five-year rate for students who graduated in June 2016 was 76.2 per cent, an increase of 1.5 percentage points from the 2015, the school board said in a recent news release. Of the 1,235 students enrolled in Grade 9 starting in 2011‐2012, 918 graduated within five years. The rate for students who graduated within four years in June 2016 was 70.1 per cent, which is an

increase of 4.6 percentage points from 2015. However, these numbers are below provincial averages. The provincial graduation rate for students who stayed in secondary school for five years was 86.5 per cent and for four years was 79.6 per cent. These graduation rates are calculated based on a cohort of students who entered Grade 9 together in 2011-2012 and graduated with an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) by 20152016. The rates take into account all students who began their Grade

9 year in HPEDSB. They also include students who moved to another school district in Ontario to continue their schooling, and students who no longer attended school for one reason or another. Students who moved out of province, before graduation are not included in the rate. “We are committed to student achievement and well‐being,” the board said in a statement. “A priority in the 2015‐2020 strategic plan is Achieving Excellence & Equity which includes a goal to increase graduation rates and reduce achievement gaps for students not yet at the provincial standard.”

BY JACK EVANS

It’s time for Hastings County council members to put on their thinking caps for nominations for this year’s “honorary warden.” The tradition started a few years ago and the deadline to appoint a new one is coming up fast, Warden Rodney Cooney reminded at a recent finance, property and personnel committee meeting. Qualifications include an outstanding record of community service or business success. The committee also go an update on the continuing success of the Centre Hastings Transit operated by the local non-for-profit Central Hastings Support Network. That agency provided start-up funding for the bus service starting in 2009. The service now operates for Tweed, Madoc, Marmora, Stirling and Belleville for people to get to work, medical appointments or for students going to classes at subsidized rates. Ridership has grown steadily, gaining 15

per cent in the past year alone, said Sally Gale, executive director of the support network. She gave notice that the transit service will be seeking additional funds in the months ahead in order to expand its services, as more people become aware of its special stop signs, including ones at Belleville General Hospital. Routes may be added to key locations outside the county. She assured one representative from a township north of Madoc that if people get delivered to a bus stop point they are welcome to use the service. Also reporting to council were representatives of the county’s auditing firm, Richard Steiginga and Duane Potter, from the accounting firm of Collins Barrow, who reported another “clean” audit with no faults and a surplus of more than $65,700 from last year. The committee also recommended for regular council a program for spraying of wild parsnip weeds throughout county roads and properties.
