Boaters await opening of Lower Trent-Severn locks at Trent Port Marina, give rave reviews BY ERIN STEWART
Trenton — If you needed to wait at one marina during a delayed navigation season, the Trent Port Marina is the best one, said boater Dan Pudleiner. Pudleiner, from Brooklin, Ont., said he was patiently waiting at the Trent Port Marina to continue his journey home — a journey called “The Great Loop,” which started last August on Lake Simcoe and continued down south to the Bahamas for the winter. “The Trent Port Marina is a wonderful marina; it’s a very beautiful spot. If I’m going to be stuck somewhere, I’d rather be stuck here than over in the United States. So, I’m glad that I’m back in Canada,” he said. The Trent-Severn Waterway navigation season had a delayed opening of one week, set for May 26, but the Lower Trent-Severn locks remain closed due to elevated water levels and velocity of water unsafe for boaters. The locks are opening in stages, with locks 20 to 21 and 28 to 45 open for navigation as of Saturday, May 27. Being so close, yet so far, Pudleiner said he’s hoping the locks will open so they can

get on their way, but they’re monitoring the situation online and getting information from lock one. “We’re going to go to the Italian restaurant for dinner tonight and just spend a little money in town, and enjoy the place while we’re here,” he said on Friday, May 26. “This is a fantastic marina, not just one of the nicest ones.
We’ve been in many, many marinas and this is right up there. It’s a great place, and the people are really friendly and nice.” Katherine Ruby docks her sailboat at the Trent Port Marina. She said she’s concerned about the delayed opening because she’s been promoting the Trent-Severn and the free 2017 seasonal lockage per-
mits, as part of Canada 150 celebrations. “I am on a lot of boating groups and I have been promoting the Trent-Severn — especially because this year it’s free — and on these groups, there are people from all over North America. They’re doing “The Great Loop,” and the Trent-Severn can be part of that,” she said.

Ruby said she was concerned people would make their way without realizing the lower locks remained closed. Craig Carter, manager of the Trent Port Marina, said the marina has about seven boats waiting to get up the Trent River as of Saturday, May 27, and he expects another 12 to 15 boats to come through within the next week. “There’s a lot of people on their way from Florida, and all that will be arriving here probably this week sometime to go up the system. But, with computers and all the technology of today, they obviously know what situation is happening,” he said. “The people are quite content that are staying at the Trent Port Marina, because it’s such a beautiful facility. So, I don’t think it’s too disruptive at this point.” From what he’s heard, Carter said he’s hoping and anticipating the locks will open on Wednesday, May 31 or Thursday, June 1.

Lower Trent-Severn remains closed for boaters’ safety, will see staged opening
644935
Trenton — Much of the TrentSevern Waterway remains closed to navigation, with elevated water levels and velocity of water making it too dangerous for boaters. The locks will open in stages, said Chad Buchner, manager of operations for the Trent Severn Waterway, as increased precipitation over the past weekend coupled with forecasted rainfall has created the requirement for additional time to reduce water levels and flows to a point that ensures safe boating conditions across the system. Only portions of the upper waterway are now open for boating traffic. Locks 28-42, Stoney Lake to Lake Simcoe, opened as of Friday, May 26. “Right now, with the kind of water flows that we’re still experi-
encing, especially those south of the lakes coming down the rivers, the water velocity there is still just too high above our safe navigation ranges,” said Buchner. Staff are watching and monitoring the system closely on a day-today basis, he said, and watching the weather systems moving through the region. “We’re taking it day by day, and we’ll be following up as soon as we possibly can with more information on hopefully decreasing these water flows and getting the rest of our system open,” Buchner said. For the most current boaterspecific information, including wait times and mooring availability, Parks Canada has created two new twitter accounts to keep boaters up-to-date, @TSWBoaterInfo or @ VTNSInfoNav.

Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla coming to Trenton, The County on Royal Tour BY ERIN STEWART
Trenton – Their Royal Highnesses Prince Charles, The Prince of Wales and Camilla, The Duchess of Cornwall, will pay a visit to Canadian Forces Base Trenton and Wellington Farmer's Market in June. As part of an official Royal Tour, the Prince and Duchess will join Canadians to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation, announced by Neil Ellis, MP for the Bay of Quinte, on behalf of Melanie Joly, Minister of Canadian Heritage on Thursday May 25. The Royals’ tour will start June 29 in Iqaluit, Nunavut and then the Royal couple will be welcomed to the Bay of Quinte at CFB Trenton and the Wellington Farmer’s Market on Friday June 30. The Wellington Farmer’s Market event will be open to the public. CFB Trenton/8 Wing commander Col. Colin Keiver said the base is ramping up for what promises to be an honour and a whirlwind of protocol and pageantry. "I think I speak on behalf of all of us, I think we are all honoured that they are coming here," said Keiver. "I mean, this is thefuture king, this is a big deal. So the fact that the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall want to come here and visit 8 Wing, and see what the men and women of 8 Wing do, and give us the opportunity to talk to them about it, it’s a great honour.” “I’m flabbergasted, it’s fan-

tastic to have royalty here,” said Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison upon hearing the news. “I’d be glad to do whatever I can do to make their trip enjoyable and to make it pleasant for all the residents of this area.” Having a Royal visit to celebrate Canada is fantastic, said Harrison. “It’s quite an occasion, you don’t have a 150th Birthday often so it’s great to have them
come and join with us to wish Canada a Happy Birthday and hopefully we can all get to see them before Canada Day.” After a visit in Trenton and Wellington, the royal couple will head to Ottawa and Gatineau for the final leg of their tour, ending July 1. Harrison recalled the last time he saw Royalty in Trenton, a mere 65 years ago. “It was 1952, I stood down on the street corner by St. Pe-
ter’s school to watch the Queen come through here, June 1952,” he said. The Bay of Quinte is always happy to roll out the red carpet for our guests,” said Ellis. “On June 30, we’re proud to have the opportunity to share the same warmth and simplicity of life that make our region such a wonderful place to visit, and live, with Their Royal Highnesses, Charles and Camilla.”

Students’ support helps Relay for Life exceed $100,000 in Quinte West laps at Trenton High School BY ERIN STEWART
Trenton — Relay for Life Quinte West far exceeded its $60,000 goal, reaching $100,000 thanks to the help of students from St. Paul Catholic Secondary School, Cité Jeunesse, Marc-Garneau and the community. Prior to the Quinte West relay for life event at Trenton High School on Saturday May 27, St. Paul students raised $23,000 and Cité Jeunesse and MarcGarneau joined forces to raise $26,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society. “I don’t have words, they blew me away,” said Lauren Dashnay, chair of the Quinte West Relay for Life. “We usually try a goal of $60,000 and it’s going to be blown out of the water, it’s phenomenal." This year’s relay had less participants, with 19 teams compared to the previous year’s 33, but Dashnay said you would never know because of everyone’s tremendous spirit at the event. The 19 teams also fundraised more than last year, raising a total of $51,000. Guest speaker Evelyn Jordan, cancer survivor, shared her experience battling cancer during the opening ceremonies.
“I’m a mother, a wife and a friend,” said Jordan. “In 2012 I was diagnosed with cancer and then again in 2016, once was hard, twice was devastating and just when all looked good, a third time a few months ago.” Having gone through six cancer related surgeries, five months of chemo, 27 radiation treatments and numerous other procedures, Jordan said she prepares for another surgery and possibly more radiation. Jordan said she’s grateful for all of the support she’s received from family, friends, the school communities at St. Paul and St. Peter’s and her sons’ rep soccer and hockey teams. “Today there is hope, today there is a possibility, however, without events like this it is not a possibility,” she said. “I thank you all for coming out, donating and volunteering, without you cancer patients like myself have a much harder fight. Together maybe we can come as one and beat this thing. Remember, cancer sucks, life doesn’t, live life to live.” CFB 8 Wing Commander Col. Colin Keiver also shared his own story about how cancer has touched his family.
Dr. Suresh Appan & Associates
“It was not quite five years ago that we were sitting in a neurologist office in Kingston and we were told that our 11-year-old son had a brain tumour,” he said. “What was amazing about that experience was the community support and the support that came from everywhere almost instantaneously, to the point that it almost made us feel guilty accepting it all.” Keiver thanked everyone for showing leadership by being at relay and making a difference. “Even those we’ve lost to cancer, we should absolutely be celebrating the fact that we as a community got behind them, we did everything we could for them during that brave fight and right here today, by being here today, we pledge ourselves to continue that fight, to fight this horrible, horrible disease,” he said. Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison, joined by Deputy Mayor Jim Alyea and Coun. Duncan Armstrong, said the best part of his job is seeing so many people taking on responsibility to help others in the community. “I want to thank you all for what you do and it’s mandatory that we continue

the fight,” said Harrison. “I can only tell you that I’m so proud of what you’ve done.” Before the first lap commenced, everyone paid a special tribute to Teresa Bell, last year’s guest speaker, who lost her fight to cancer. Bell died in December 2016 at 48-years-old. Brad Warner, community fundraising specialist with the local Canadian Cancer Society branch, remembered Bell for her tremendous support of the organization and for her loud spirit.
Instead of a moment of silence, Warner asked Quinte West Relay for Life participants for a “moment of cheer for Teresa Bell,” to which they enthusiastically obliged. Since the first Relay for Life event was held in 1999, more than $500 million has been raised across Canada. Funds support promising cancer research in Canada and vital support services for people with cancer and their families.

OPINION
Islamist terrorism: Who’s to blame? It happens after every major terrorist attack by Islamist terrorists in a Western country: the familiar debate about who is really to blame for this phenomenon. One side trots out the weary old trope that the terrorists simply “hate values”, and other Gwynne Dyer our side claims that it’s really the fault of Western governments for sending their troops into Muslim countries. There’s a national election campaign underway in Britain, so the ghastly Manchester bombing last week has revived this argument. It started when Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn (who voted against the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, the invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the seven-month bombing campaign that overthrew Libya’s dictator Muammar Gaddafi in 2011) made a speech in London on Friday. “Many experts, including professionals in our intelligence and security services, have pointed to the connections between wars our government has supported or fought in other countries and terrorism here at home,” he said. In a later clarification, Corbyn added: “A number of people since the interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq have drawn attention to the links with foreign policy, including (British foreign secretary) Boris Johnson in 2005, two former heads of MI5 (the Security Service), and of course the (parliamentary) Foreign Affairs Select Committee.” With Labour catching up with the Conservatives in the polls, Prime Minister Teresa May leapt at the chance to twist Corbyn’s words and all but accused him of treason. “Jeremy Corbyn has said that terror attacks in Britain are our own fault ... and I want to make something clear to Jeremy Corbyn and to you: there can never be an excuse for terrorism, there can be no excuse for what happened in Manchester.” Boris Johnson chimed in: “Whatever we do, we can’t follow the logic of the terrorists and start blaming ourselves or our society or our foreign policy. This has been caused not by us – as Jeremy Corbyn would have us believe – it’s been caused by a sick ideology, a perverted version of Islam that hates us and hates our way of life.” But both sides in this argument are wrong. The“Salafi” extremists who are called “Islamists” in the West (all of them Sunnis, and most of them Arabs) do hate Western values, but that’s not why they go to the trouble of making terrorist attacks on the West.

She sells seething hate for Islam
not because of Western foreign policies either: there were no major Western attacks on the Arab world in the years before the 9/11 atrocity in 2001. There had been plenty of attacks in the past: the Western conquest of almost all the Arab countries between 1830 and 1918, Western military support for carving a Zionist state out of the Arab world as the European imperial powers were pulling out after 1945, Western military backing for Arab dictators and absolute monarchs ever since. The West turned against one of those dictators, Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, after he invaded Kuwait, but it had the support of most Arab countries when it drove him out of Kuwait in the first Gulf War in 1990-91. And between then and 9/11 the West did nothing much to enrage the Arab world. Indeed, it was even backing the Palestinian-Israeli “peace process”, which looked quite promising at that time. But there was violence in many Arab countries as Islamist revolutionaries, using terrorist tactics, tried to overthrow the local kings and dictators. Up to 200,000 Arabs were killed in these bloody struggles between 1979 and 2000, but not one of the repressive regimes was overthrown. By the turn of the century it was clear that terrorism against Arab regimes was not working. To win power, the Islamists needed a new strategy. The man who supplied it was Osama bin Laden. He had missed out on the long terrorist war in the Arab countries because he went to Afghanistan to fight a Soviet invasion in 1979. But in Afghanistan he fought in a war that Islamists actually won: having lost 14,000 dead, the Russians gave up and went home in 1989. The Afghan Islamists (the Taliban) came to power as a result. Bin Laden realized that this could be a route to power for the Islamists of the Arab world as well: provoke the West to invade Muslim countries, lead the struggle against the Western occupation forces – and when the Western armies finally give up and go home (as they always do in the end) the Islamists will come to power. That was why he founded al-Qaeda, and 9/11 was intended to sucker the United States into playing the role of infidel invader. Western governments have never recognized this obvious fact because they are too arrogant ever to see themelves as simply the dupes in somebody else’s strategy. Their foreign policy error was to fall for bin Laden’s provocation hook, line and sinker – and they are still falling for it 16 years later.

Comment by Chris Malette The headline on the story screamed: “The Real Muslims Are The Terrorists. Period. Here’s How We Make It Common Knowledge.” It was the morning after the Manchester bombing and newspapers and TV news channels were ablaze with coverage. But, the headline wasn’t in a newspaper. It appeared online in a blog and, while it was seen by only a few thousand online followers, its rage and scorn for Islam was jarring. And that’s just the way the writer intended it to be. Its author, a 25-year-old self-styled ‘alternative media’ commentator from Belleville, used it as a platform in the hours after the Manchester bombing to educate all of us that “real Muslims” are the ones who blow up kids at concerts and “fake Muslims” are the ones who calmly carry on their lives in our communities, attend mosques, shop in our stores, serve in Parliament. The latter are not true followers of Islam, according to Belleville’s own beacon of intolerance, one Stefanie MacWilliams. You’d be forgiven for not recognizing her in her hometown, as she likes it to be, but to ask her and her acolytes, she’s a pretty big deal with the far right, veering to alt-right, online miasma. Post Manchester: “Buckle up, my fellow indels, apostates, ka r, and dogs! There will be more. There will always be more, and it will always get worse. That is, until we actually do something about Islam. And since most of our impotent leaders seem unwilling to do anything about Islam, well, I guess it’s up to us. “And ‘we’ always starts with ‘I’. “I’m Stefanie, I love Good and hate Evil, and I am doing my part to learn about Islam, speak fearlessly about Islam, and most of all, help my readers to do the same.” The “news” site where much of her opinion – and it is all opinion, all the time, despite the fact the out t bills itself as a “news organization” – is based somewhere in New Jersey and called Halsey News. It describes itself as featuring “accredited journalists from across the world...” None, however, are actual journalists, nor are their names recognizable outside the echo chamber of their ilk, a network of far-right Twitter followers or assorted ranting You Tube channels. The website has little to no advertising, other than ads promoting dating Russian girls, but there’s no shortage in its editorial content of outrage and intolerance. When she’s not trying to single-handedly raise a rambunctious 18-month-old boy, Mac-

Williams tweets incessantly – up to 100 times a day – engaging in online rumbles with femi- nists, “lib-tards” and fancies herself a deft ver- bal jouster when calling them out on their ar- guments. This newspaper, it should be noted, was blocked by MacWilliams from seeing any- thing she posts on Twitter some months ago. But, her content is most always based on intolerance, anger and fear-mongering. Of the Manchester bombing on May 22, MacWilliams tweeted: “Islamophobia is not the problem. It is the solution.” On her Twitter feed May 24, MacWilliams, as she often does, bemoaned the fact she still lives in Canada, longing as she does to become an American. “Unfortunately I live in a shitty country where I can’t even protect myself,” she said, on being scared for her life for vehemently proclaiming “I hate Islam with every ber of my being...” Of her upbringing and current life: “I came from a poor family and now I’m a single mother...” She’s exceptionally proud – and incessantly re-tweets – what she believes to be a clever observation: “Christianity is a good religion that can be perverted to be evil. Islam is an evil religion that can be perverted to be good.” You get the picture. MacWilliams swears she’s researched Islam deeply, almost becoming a Koranic scholar in the “true meaning” of the religion (which she doesn’t term a religion – it’s an ideology and a “death cult”). Within two hours of the attack on London on March 22, she tweeted: “If you’re not scared of Islam, you’re suicidal. Get help.” And: “The onus is on Islam to stop being a barbaric death cult, not on me to assume the best of them as they slaughter Westerners weekly.” On Europe welcoming refugees: “Actually, I oppose mass immigration from inferior cultures, I’m just not a Nazi.” But, she does acknowledge she has been called a racist so many times, the term no longer fazes her. And so it is, then, that the beliefs of this “right millenial” are becoming more main- stream in the instant world of Twitter and the Internet, fortunately for most, within the echo chamber of those far right followers. But if, as MacWilliams dreams to someday do, she comes to a campus university or town hall meeting to preach her brand of ‘the truth,’ it’d be wise to do that which would torture her. Ignore her.

No plans to close Belleville’s P&G plant BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville –There are no plans to close Belleville’s Procter & Gamble plant, a company spokesman said one day after news broke that the manufacturing giant plans to close its Brockville operation. “Belleville is considered to be a strategic site for us,” said Jeff LeRoy in an interview with the Belleville News on May 25. Procter & Gamble held an emotional town-hall-style meeting at its Brockville operation earlier in the week and announced that the plant would close in either late 2020 or early 2021. The Brockville plant, located a two-hour drive east of the Belleville operation, employees 480 people. Much of the work that takes place in Brockville, which heavily involves production of Swifter and Bounce products, is being transferred to a new plant in West Virginia. This decision was made as a result of a company study on how to improve its supply chain management process. But the Belleville operation, which employs about 800 people out of its recently-expanded University Avenue plant, is no longer part of that study, LeRoy said. The Belleville plant is one of Procter & Gamble’s largest operations, he added. Among the 25 plants Procter & Gamble operates in North American, Belleville is in the top five or six in employee numbers, he said. It’s known for producing Always femi-
nine products. When asked what makes the Belleville plant more strategically important than the Brockville plant, LeRoy said there’s no one single answer. “You have to look at the entire supply chain holistically,” he said. “There are many factors that are considered. What are the opportunities for the site and the brands it makes to be cointegrated.” But he added that Belleville’s geographical location and the city’s la-
Classic Cruise Nights kick off in Quinte West BY ERIN STEWART
Trenton – You know summer is around the corner when Classic Cruise Nights are back in town, every Sunday from 4-8 p.m., May to September, at the Front Street parking lot in Trenton. Hosted by Quinte Access, all proceeds fundraised from the cruise nights go to Quinte Access’ afterhours, weekend and holiday service. Kathy Martin and Ed Moshynski happened to stumble upon the display of classic and specialty vehicles at the first event of the season after spending an evening out for dinner downtown Trenton.
bour force make the plant valuable for the company. He said the company takes pride in its Belleville operation and realizes what its Belleville employees contribute to the community. Procter & Gamble is one of the city’s largest private employers and its employees are among the most important contributors to the annual United Way Hastings Prince Edward campaign. Last year, P&G employees raised more than $500,000 for the
campaign. LeRoy said that the company hopes to reduce the number of layoffs as a result of the decision, through retirement packages and transfers. He said it’s likely that some Brockville employees will be given an opportunity to transfer to Belleville, should they choose to. “The goal is to not have anyone leave the company,” he said. Belleville’s economic development manager Karen Poste was relieved to
hear the Belleville Procter & Gamble plant will remain a fixture in the city. Although Autosystems and Convergys (with each have about 1,000 employees according to the mostrecent city data), are slightly bigger employers, Procter & Gamble is definitely one of the biggest private employers in the city, she said. “Losing P&G Belleville would be dramatic to say the least,” she said. “They have one of the largest private sector payrolls in the community and of course the spin offs from the business are countless. If you think about the money the business alone spends in the community with hiring contractors, purchasing supplies, trucking, the taxes they pay, the contributions to local charities like United Way that they make – they have a significant impact on the local economy every single day. Factor in the number of families that rely on that P&G income and the spinoffs are mind boggling.” Poste said the city works closely with Procter & Gamble and the two parties have a good relationship. “We connect with our employers on a regular basis and we try to make sure we are doing what we should to support them in the community. P&G in exceptionally community minded and I think our relationship is very strong. They have been growing and investing in the Belleville facility and I’m confident they will be here much longer but we are working to make sure the community provides the needed support.”

“We’re enjoying this rare, nice warm weather in the evening and this is an extra treat to see all of these cars, I think it’s a great setup and I love the music in the background too,” said Moshynski on Sunday May 28. It’s nice to see well-preserved machinery, he said, at a nice venue by the river to get people outdoors for an evening. “I enjoy seeing how cars developed, they had such class and style in the era when gasoline was cheap,” said Moshynski. “I think it’s the kind of thing that gets people, families, out here to get out and
take a look.” Gary Mansfield, Cruise Night volunteer, said they usually get between 60-100 vehicles out every Sunday. “People come from all over the Quinte area, we get people from Cobourg, Oshawa, the Cruise Nights are very popular all across Canada and the United States,” he said. “It gives everyone a chance to bring their classic cars and trucks out, all winter long they’re sitting dormant in the garage so the summer nights come it’s nice to get out Kathy Martin stands next to a classic car and A&W display at the first and enjoy them.”

Furry friends get active at Barks by the Bay BY ERIN STEWART
Trenton — Barks by the Bay was back in town for the 11th annual event, bringing four-legged friends together for a day of fun at Centennial Park on Saturday May 27, in Trenton. This year, Barks by the Bay offered multiple interactive events for dogs, including an obstacle course by Hot Diggity Dogs Fly Ball Club. Natalie Cornell founded Hot Diggity Dogs with her husband 18 years ago in Quinte West and has attended local festivals and events for many years to showcase fly ball racing, tricks, high jump, disc, and “fungility.” “New this year, we opened up a course to the public and dogs,” said Cornell. “A lot of people always say they want to try the equipment and we just didn’t have it set up to do that, so because of the interest we thought we could do it and get people in here to play." With supervision, dog owners took their pets through the basic course between shows. “People are having a blast coming in with their dogs, they watch the show on the side and say ‘My dog can do that,’ and then they can come in and try,” said Cornell. Hot Diggity Dogs has had many new members out to join the recreational dog club this season, said Cornell, a great way to get out and have fun as regular backyard dog owners. Isabelle Duchaine attended Barks by the Bay for the first time with her brother and his four-month-old Scottish terrier, Maggie. “I’ve never seen so many different kinds of dogs in one place,” she said. “We did both the obstacle course and the agility work and it was fantastic, it’s really cool to see which dogs were a bit hesitant and which ones were totally into it.” The day was wonderful and it was great seeing the shows, said Duchaine. “It really shows people how any dog, any breed, once they’ve had some love, some attention and some training can really accomplish some really fantastic things, it’s cool to see,” she said. “I would very much recommend everyone to come and check it out.” Phoebe Lindgren, vendor with All Pawz Inn from Colborne, said they were back at Barks by the Bay for their second year. “This event is the one we look forward to the most annually because there’s a lot of dogs, there’s a lot more vendors so it does bring a lot of people with their pets, there isn’t really many events like this in the area,” she said.

Leon’s partners with Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation to provide beds BY ERIN STEWART
Trenton — Leon’s Superstore Trenton is selling beds to buy new beds for Trenton Memorial Hospital. The Quinte West business has partnered with the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation to support the foundation’s bid to buy eight new beds at a cost of about $100,000. For each mattress purchased at $299 or more, Leon’s will donate $25 to the foundation to purchase new beds, said Jane Brummell, marketing and promotions coordinator for Leon’s Superstore Trenton. “It’s huge to be a part of the community and Trenton Memorial Hospital does so much for the community and the entire Quinte area,
S
their services touch almost every family,” she said. “It’s just very important that everybody has a comfortable place from diagnosis to recovery and everything in between.“ Leon’s goal is to raise enough money for at least three beds for the hospital, a cost of about $24,000. “If someone comes in that isn’t purchasing a mattress but would like to donate, we would be glad to accept the donation and we will send it forward to the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation and they will issue receipts,” said Brummell. The Superstore is also in the process of setting up a donor recognition wall in the bedding department, each donor’s name will be posted to the wall. “We’re just really excited here at the
store to be a part of this. Over the year, we are going to do some fun events and different things to try and draw a little more attention to what the community can do and how we can help out,” she said. Wendy Warner, executive director of the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation, said there is a need to replace eight beds on the inpatient unit this year. The beds cost between $8,000 and $15,000 each. “With the critical nature of the patient that needs these beds, it is absolutely vital that we upgrade to beds that have 'smart bed' technology including alarms, nurse call systems, weigh scales, better patient positioning controls, and bed brakes,” she said. Trenton Memorial Hospital admits over 750 patients each year to 26 beds in its in-patient unit. It treats more than 32,000 patients through the emergency de-
partment in the hospital and beds are critical pieces of equipment, serving as a means of care 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. “At 10, 15, and even 20 years old, the beds are approaching the point at which they must be replaced with advanced technology and surfaces that enhance patient care, safety, and comfort,” said Warner. The hospital also requires three new stretchers in the emergency room to replace older stretchers that do not have the essential monitoring tools staff require to care for older, more fragile patients. The cost to replace each stretcher is $6,113. From emergency care to inpatient unit, palliative care and beyond, every area of the hospital has unique bed requirements in order to provide the most appropriate level of care tailored to the patients' individual needs.

ASPARAGUS
BY MARTIN DURKIN
CFB Trenton - It was an evening of jovial fun as Quinte Conservation and CFB Trenton joined with local members of Scouts Canada in planting trees on Wilson Road in Foxboro. To assist in offsetting the carbon footprint created by the Quinte International Air Show (QIAS), 8 Wing Trenton purchased 2,000 trees to be planted in the Quinte Conservation watersheds. The funds covered the cost for this year’s Seedlings for Shorelines program and will pay for two other separate planting events. Despite the bother of blackflies and a halfflooded field, the Scouts along with Colonel Colin Keiver, Lt.-Col. Cathy Blue, and Wing Chief Warrant Officer Darcy Elder; trudged along in rubber boots between tractor tracks and began digging holes. Before the tree-planting took place, Keiver and Elder joked about the nicknames given to them by the Scouts. “I was a Beaver leader,” said Keiver, “I was called, Grey Wolf.” “Why am I named Stink Bug?” asked WCWO Elder. “Call me Shrek instead.”
specials
As the early evening wore on, 2,000 trees found new homes, the laughter continued as kids and 8 Wing personnel swarmed together dropping trees into holes. “Hey, how many people does it take to plant one tree?” asks a Scout leader in the crowd. “Three officers and one pilot!” Joked Lt.-Col. Blue. However a young scout joined in and responded, “Three officers, a pilot, and a Scout!” During the tail end of the planting, Elder and Cub Scout, Owen Clarence worked together planting one of the final trees. During the planting, Clarence told Elder that it was birthday and he was turning nine. Elder pulled a Canadian flag patch off his shoulder and slapped it onto Clarence’s arm. “Here’s a present for you, get your Mom to sew that on and make it permanent,” said WCWO Elder who then asked to have a picture taken with his new buddy. Clarence, who was beside himself with admiration, looked at his mom saying, “This is a day I will remember my whole life.”

Hastings — Lennox and Addington — 10 new projects in Hastings — Lennox and Addington have been approved under the federal government’s Clean Water and Waste Water Fund. The announcement was made in a press release May 24, by Mike Bossio, MP for Hastings — Lennox and Addington in Napanee. The government is providing up to 50 per cent of funding for these projects ($796,849): $67,158 in Marmora and Lake; $447,983 in Napanee; $131,708 in Bancroft. The provincial government is providing $398,426, and the municipalities will provide the balance of funding. “Ensuring that rural communities have the tools they need to thrive is one of my top priorities, so I am very happy that the federal government is making such historic investments in Napanee, Bancroft, and across our riding,” said MP Mike Bossio.

“The $796,426 of federal funding that I announced today for 10 water and wastewater infrastructure projects are essential for building long term, sustainable rural communities right here in Hastings — Lennox and Addington.” Marmora and Lake, Stone Mills, StirlingRawdon, and Tweed will see stormwater and wastewater upgrades, as well as feasibility studies for other water systems. In Bancroft, wastewater collection systems will be rehabilitated, and a feasibility study will be conducted for wastewater systems. Residents of Napanee will see upgrades to their Wastewater Pollution Control Plant. “These projects are essential to keeping our waterways clean and our communities healthy and livable.” Deputy Mayor of Marmora and Lake Linda Bracken, said, “The project will rehabilitate two existing older sanitary and sewer collec-
tion assets. The fund provides an opportunity to advance some of our infrastructure requirements, since one has not been updated since 1974. Thank you for the contributions of the federal and provincial governments. Without our partnerships, we would go nowhere. We need to work together.” Deputy Mayor of the Town of Bancroft Paul Jenkins said, “The Town of Bancroft would like to express our gratitude to the federal government and our MP Mike Bossio for the announced CWWF funding. Repairs to our wastewater infrastructure is in critical need. This financial support will allow the town to take the first step in addressing our major infiltration issue in order to make the system more efficient and affordable for our citizens.” To view videostream of the announcement go to: https://www. f a c e b o o k . c o m / m i ke. b o s s i o. l i b e ra l / v i d eos/1061026364030399/

It was a short but eclectic agenda for Hastings County Council, partly to accommodate a two-day session of hosting a meeting of the Eastern Ontario Warden’s Caucus, of which Hastings has been one of its most active members. At Thursday morning’s meeting, CAO Jim Pine commented the caucus meeting was “today and tomorrow.” Council also viewed a video promotion of a new Canadian musical by the now widely known Tweed Theatre company to make its world premiere at the Tweed Pavilion as a sesquicentennial project June 28 through July 7. Artistic director of the company, Tim Porter, a Tweed native, introduced the actors in the video who each contributed their own comments, and said the show, “Hastings, the Musical,” summarizes many of the legends of people and events over the county’s history, set to toe-tapping music and with a generous splash of irreverence and comedy. The video also reviewed the outstanding success of the small townbased company with shows in Toronto and across Canada, starting with their first big musical, “Tweed – the Musical” back in 2009,followed by one called “Alex Bell,” about the iconic inventor of the telephone.
Tweed seems to be the hub for summer events this year as Mayor Jo-Anne Albert also promoted the “Farm to Table” community dinner there on Saturday, July 22 at 4 p.m. featuring many professionally prepared dishes of local produce, tickets just $5, children under five, free. The outdoor meal will be served on Tweed’s Metcalf Street, which will be closed to traffic to accommodate the event. Reviewed again from a recent meeting of the Community and Human Services Committee was a video outlining the problems of homelessness and promoting full support for a new provincial program called “Home for Good” targeted to address supportive housing to resolve homelessness among chronic cases, youth, indigenous and those released from provincially –funded institutions. “Your committee believes this program is timely and has authorized staff to submit a proposal in partnership with the SE LHIN and other support agencies,” was the recommendation included in the report, which was adopted. CAO Pine also commended newspaper reporter Luke Hendry for his commitment on publicizing the homelessness issue and also thanked all media members for their support of county activities.

CHEO is the go-to place for sick kids in Eastern Ontario BY TIFFANY LEPACK Metroland Media
John Lepack loves superheroes. It doesn’t matter if it is SpiderMan or Batman, his imagination runs wild with their adventures. The thing my son doesn’t know, is he is already a superhero in my eyes. Shortly after John was born June 11, 2013, staff at Almonte General Hospital noticed something not right. They were able to quickly recognize he needed to be rushed to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). Kevin Keohane, president and chief executive officer of the CHEO Foundation, calls this a very typical story of CHEO working with rural hospitals outside of Ottawa, who he calls very important partners in care. “We have some tremendous community hospitals throughout the area that CHEO also serves. For the vast majority of families the first place that you go when your child needs care is to your community hospital. And we strongly encourage supporting the hospitals in your own areas,” said Keohane. “But at the same time, CHEO plays an important role with those community hospi-
tals. When I think about CHEO it is a regional hospital.” As a new mom from Arnprior, who just experienced a 24-hour labour in Almonte, it was a difficult moment to be told John needed the care from CHEO. But we were not alone. CHEO truly is a regional hospital, and in 2016 there were, for instance, 351 total visits to CHEO from patients from the Belleville area, 168 of those emergency care visits. “I think the important thing is there are other types of health care needs that kids from Belleville had and could be well
served at within their own community,” said Keohane. “But when they have the most serious cases and ones requiring paediatric speciality they would come to CHEO and that’s a good balance. “You want kids to be served closer to home as often as possible and when they have to travel to CHEO we want them to feel as at home as we can possibly make them and make their stay here as good as possible and get them back home and in their own communities as quickly as possible.” CHEO not only serves patients from Eastern Ontario; but their catchment stretches all the way to Northern Ontario and Nunavut. Last year 52 per cent of patient visits to CHEO came from Ottawa and 33 per cent from other towns and cities in Eastern Ontario and Northern Ontario totalling 107,000 patient visits. “That means there is an awful lot of children and families living outside the Ottawa area who are needing the services of CHEO, and it is a privilege for CHEO to be able to provide these services,” said Keohane. John was transferred from Almonte to CHEO via a neonatal transport unit. When the CHEO team arrived to take John they explained ev-
erything about the unit and how they were going to transfer him. Although at the time I was scared that my newborn was leaving my side, I was reassured that he was safe. Over 500 times last year the neonatal transport unit went to communities outside of Ottawa to bring babies to CHEO. When John arrived at CHEO he was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. He was showing signs of meningitis and had to have a spinal tap to test the fluid. To say my husband and I were scared is an understatement. However, from the moment we walked in to CHEO until the moment we left, I knew he was in the best possible hands. The team who worked on him always explained how they were examining him and what the next steps were. Thankfully, after a week at CHEO, he was discharged, having battled back from an infection. The equipment used to transfer, test and care for John while he was at CHEO was made possible due to community support. The provincial government provides money to CHEO for the staff to operate the equipment,
but not the machines. One of the biggest boosts to CHEO is its annual telethon, which is set this year for June 10 and 11 on CTV Ottawa. In 2016, the telethon celebrated more than $8 million raised throughout the year. “Every donation big and small goes toward helping CHEO deliver on its mission. And that really is to make sure kids and families get the best care they can receive,” said Keohane. As for John and the rest of the children who receive care at CHEO, Keohane agrees they are superheroes. There are more superheroes to add to the list as well. “The kids are definitely heroes, but the donors are heroes too,” said Keohane. “We could run a telethon and we can tell everyone the work CHEO is doing, and it all doesn’t matter unless people respond. So when you respond you are being a hero for kids, a hero for CHEO, and you are helping us to provide the care at a different level than we wouldn’t be able to without your help.” For more information on CHEO and the telethon visit: www.cheotelethon.com

The Good Earth How about showing your horticulturalists respect?
By Dan Clost There comes a time at the start of every gardening season when we all run smack dab into the wall. There’s no doubt that we (horticultural workers) are as excited as you (horticultural, um, doers) about the new season. So it seems odd that, just as the time of doing arrives, we’re feeling done in. I can tell you that
myself and many of my coworkers- especially those of us with knees that can predict rain two days ahead of time- are more than a titch tired. This year it seems to be more onerous as the constant rain has slowed everyone down. It’s been tough getting hothouse plants to grow especially with all the cloud cover blocking the sunlight. It’s been tough getting the beds prepared because they’re either too soupy or they are a consistency akin to gumbo. It’s been difficult on home gardeners for many of the same reasons, too. You’re a bit behind in everything including mowing the lawns. (“Wet blades” are a myth, GR.) Unfortunately, some mowing just has to happen and that’s when you hear an engine turning at higher rpm’s but see the mower plodding along at a slower ground speed. The culmination of all of this is that there are some
tired and stressed out folks cluttering up both sides of the counters at the nurseries and tempers are fraying. One might wish to look upon these counter encounters as opportunities for grace but not all of us (and especially not this one) have saintly temperaments. I certainly understand the frustrations; in fact, I share them. I’d love to bring home a load of soil for top-dressing and topping up beds. This past week (at the time of writing) the topsoil was so waterlogged that four cubic yards was almost enough to surpass the Ministry of Transport weight limits on our 1-ton delivery truck. The ground at the delivery sites, your homes, is so saturated that tires easily break through the turf. Either the truck gets stuck or there are great ruts left behind when the vehicle pulls away. I know of three delivery trucks and one tractor that bogged down on Wednesday
and Thursday alone. In fact, on that Thursday, one of the area’s largest bulk product supply yards closed due to the rain. We’re fortunate that we sell other things, e.g. plants, and we have a roof over them, so we were able to stay open. Hopefully we sold enough petunias to cover the hydro bill. Now, Gentle Reader, we get to the core of this column. It was prompted by an unpleasant telephone conversation, actually a loud diatribe, directed at the young person who answered the phone. This telephone conversation was ostensibly about soil

and the requirement that a deferred delivery be made immediately. We did deliver it as requested because, after the appropriate caveats have been expressed, it is the customers’ ultimate decision that is respected. Within ten minutes of the call, our truck was loaded and on the road. I used the word “ostensibly” because of the tone used by the callers (a two-phone, two-person tag-team effort.) It is fine to be adamant and upset when things go awry. It is not fine to cross over the line of decent manners and disrespect a person, especially to one who is pow-
erless to respond. Would the conversation have taken a different tone if a manager had picked up the receiver? I suspect so. There are very few things over which we have control and our interactions with others is one of those things. Respect is more than an expectation, it is a requirement. So for all of us who have run into that wall, let’s pause a moment, recover our equilibrium and express ourselves with grace.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
In praise of the fix it shops New York is leading a fight to pass “Right to Repair” legislation, called the Fair Repair Act. As the world moved to the don’t fix it, replace it, the global dumps filled up ever more quickly. Arrayed against those who would repair stuff are companies such as Apple, Toyota, Verizon, Caterpillar and The Consumer Technology Association, which in today’s doublespeak represents the manufacturers. The new rules would require companies to sell replacement parts and ban “software locks” which restrict after market parts, apparently John Deer is well know
for this technique. Coming from an era of a cobbler shops and TV repair shops I still regard those still existing as rebels against the system. Since most stuff today has too much software for many people, its not just cell phones which are affected. A recent study by a defense annalist claimed that even the F35 fighter jet could be hacked rendering the pilot helpless. The Same goes for most of the auto industry with demonstrations of vehicles being taken over by hackers, while we can upgrade defenses on a home computer/laptop, I have never heard of cars
having software defense patches installed. Upgrades to the latest operating system are often met with dubious results, the UK nuclear submarines are still using Windows XP possibly with upgrades the general public is not aware of, and maybe not. One sub fired a Trident missile off the coast of the USA recently (presumably without its warhead) and instead of heading into the Atlantic it went west toward the mainland and had to be destroyed. Sometimes the magic works, sometimes it doesn’t. Paul Whittaker RR#1 Gilmour.

Montreal throws itself a spectacular 375th birthday party BY JOHN M. SMITH
A view of Bonsecours Market. John M. Smith/Metroland
with its intricately designed interior and its magnificent stainedglass windows that depict parish history. I’d also visit the Montreal Museum of Archaeology and History (where you’ll find self-guiding, interactive tours), the Clock Tower (a memorial to the men of the Merchant Fleet who were lost during WWI) and the Bonsecours Market (which was the city’s main agricultural marketplace for over a century and now houses several boutiques). Other points of interest include the Biosphere (housed in the geodesic dome that was the American pavilion during Expo ‘67), the Casino de Montreal (housed in the former Quebec and French pavilions of Expo ‘67), Habitat ’67 (an experimental housing development built out of
prefabricated concrete slabs), the History Centre (housed in a 19th century fire station), and St. Joseph’s Oratory (one of the world’s largest basilicas). The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (the oldest art museum in Canada), the Biodome (a museum of the environment), La Ronde (the province’s largest amusement park and site of the International Fireworks Competition), and the Bell Centre (home to hockey’s Montreal
Canadiens) are also of interest. Furthermore, I’d recommend checking out Mount Royal Park (with its spectacular view of the city and its large cross at the summit) and Olympic Stadium (where an elevator will take you to the top of the world’s tallest inclined tower for another breathtaking view of the city). You might also like to spend some time in Montreal’s beautiful BotaniFor More Information: www. cal Garden, where you’ll see the tourisme-montreal.org

A visit to our eastern neighbour, Montreal, is definitely worthwhile. After all, I’ve always found it to be a unique, fun-loving, charming, and vibrant city. Its party atmosphere is enhanced by the many festivals hosted annually, including the Montreal Festival of Lights (Feb.), Go Bike Montreal Festival (June), Beer Festival (June), International Jazz Festival (June & July), Just for Laughs Festival (July), International Fireworks Festival (July & Aug.), and Old Montreal’s Extravaganza Festival (Dec.). Of all these, my favourites is, of course, the Go Bike Montreal Festival – and it will take place this very weekend. Certain roads will be closed to motor vehicle traffic so that cyclists can enjoy a relatively stressfree ride through the city. Cyclists can choose from a 28 km route or a 50 km route. Many participants will dress up in colourful costumes for the event – and there will be riders of varying ages and abilities. I can remember going up in a boom truck to photograph the participants awaiting the start of the ride a few years ago - and I marvelled at the spectacular sight of about 10,000 cyclists all lined up and ready to go! I’m so old that I can even remember visiting Montreal for “Expo ‘67”, and this year marks the 50th anniversary of that event. However, the city is also celebrating a much older event than that, too, for it’s the 375th anniversary of its actual founding (but I wasn’t there for that). A mission named Ville Marie was built back in 1642, 375 years ago, and it became a centre for the fur trade. This area eventually became Montreal (which was incorporated as a city in 1832). Therefore, this would be an especially good year for a visit to Montreal, for there will be several special celebratory events. For example, a spectacular 30 minute light show took place on the Jacques Cartier Bridge back on May 17 – and from May 17 to Sept. 2, there will also be a unique multimedia show on the west sector of the Old Port of Montreal, with projections that pay tribute to the St. Lawrence River and the city’s history. If you do plan a visit in the near future, be sure to include a stop in Old Montreal, with its cobblestone streets, historical landmarks, museums, and boutiques. I’d recommend checking out Notre Dame Basilica, Montreal’s oldest Roman Catholic Church,
Montreal Insectarium (with its magnificent collection of butterflies and insects) and colourful displays of the many species and varieties of plants in its more than 30 gardens. Any visit to this city of trendy fashions and gastronomical delights must also include time for both shopping and sampling of the delectable local cuisine – and Montreal’s remarkable underground pedestrian network, “the city below the city”, offers about 30 km. of well lit walkways linking several shopping centres, restaurants, boutiques, theatres, and hotels - and convenient access to the subway system. If you prefer not to drive around and search for parking spots, the STM Tourist Pass is the fastest and easiest way to get around, for it offers unlimited travel by metro (the subway system) and bus (web site: www.stm. info). Several companies also offer guided bus tours of the city, including a hop-on and hop-off bus tour. There are specialty excursions available, including an architecture tour and a ghost walking tour. Boat trips of the harbour area are also plentiful. If you intend to check out some of Montreal’s fascinating, informative museums while in the city, then save money by purchasing a Montreal Museum Pass (a 3-day pass, including public transit, is $80.00).

County to distribute federal gas tax BY JACK EVANS
With more than $1,212,000 revenue for its share of federal gas tax, Hastings County will keep only $57,748, apportioning the rest among the 14 member municipalities based on population. The breakdown in the bylaw passed by county council last week is as follows: Tyendinaga, population 4,150, $126,173; Deseronto, 1,835, $55,790; Stirling-Rawdon, 4,978, $151,347; Centre Hastings, 4,543, $138,121; Tweed,6,057, $184,152; Madoc Town-

The amounts listed do not reflect the county’s equal portion of its retained amount reduced from each municipality so the actual payments fall a few thousand dollars short. Council also passed bylaws to establish tax ratios for the current year and actual levy apportionments.

Tick talk from local health professionals BY SUE DICKENS
Northumberland/Peterborough counties — An established population of blacklegged ticks in the Brighton area and Havelock is having an impact on how the local health professionals are dealing with the danger they pose. The talk among health professionals these days is about the dangerous Lyme disease bacteria which ticks can carry. Media releases are coming from all directions, the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District (HKPR) Health Unit, the Peterborough CountyCity Health department, and Dr. Rosana Salvaterra, medical officer of health for Peterborough Public Health to name a few. May is designated as Lyme disease awareness month and so the press releases are coming fast and curious to warn and educate people. As mentioned the ticks have shown up are in Havelock and Brighton and those are only the reported findings. The Peterborough County-City Health is asking local residents to be aware of Lyme disease and how to prevent it. While not all blacklegged ticks carry Lyme disease, populations of infected blacklegged ticks are spreading due to climate change. “Locally we are closely monitoring for evidence of infected ticks in our area, so we encourage residents to check for ticks on their bodies and bring them to the third floor of the Health Unit for identification,” explained Atul Jain, manager of environmental health programs. Dr. Salvaterra of Peterborough Public Health stated that about 400 Ontarians contracted the disease in 2015, with indications that these numbers will only grow as the tick that carries the infection continues to make more parts of the province its home. Ontario has many high-risk areas, mostly nestled along the northern shores of Lake Erie, Ontario and the St. Lawrence River. But ticks can hitch a ride on a passing migratory bird, or a deer, and show up anywhere. Checking pets for ticks after taking them for a walk is a must for owners. Last year, Peterborough Public Health (PPH) found positive ticks in Havelock as well as inside the city of Peterborough. “What is currently a “low risk” situation seems poised to grow into one where the risk requires more of our attention and action,” stated Dr. Salvaterra. The HKPR District Health Unit says it time
Dr. Rosana Salvaterra, medical officer of health, Peterborough Public Health is one of many health professionals issuing warnings about the dangers of ticks She said the province has released a 10-step plan focusing on building public awareness through the provision of updated resources, toolkits and education in early August. photo submitted
for ‘tick talk’ to remind people to watch out for these blacklegged ticks (also known as deer ticks) that can carry the bacteria. The health unit says blacklegged ticks live in forests, tall grasses and bushes, and thrive in wet environments. In Northumberland County, it is through Health Unit surveillance that the discovery was made that blacklegged ticks are now established in the Brighton area, including Presqu’ile Provincial Park. “We know that blacklegged tick populations are known to live along the north shore of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River, so the discovery of an established tick population in the Brighton area is not a surprise,” says Richard Ovcharovich, manager of environmental health with the HKPR District Health Unit. The discovery of an established population of blacklegged ticks in the Brighton area means a change in the tick surveillance program run by the Health Unit. Effective June 1, the Health Unit will no longer accept ticks for testing in the area east of Colborne and south of Highway 401. People can still submit ticks from other parts of Northumberland for testing (testing is done for surveillance purposes only to determine if the ticks in this area are the type that can transmit Lyme).
s i e n u J Reasons to include more dairy in your diet A healthy diet can improve quality of life and reduce a person’s risk of developing disease or other negative health conditions. For example, a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can boost the immune system and promote cardiovascular health, lowering your risk of heart disease in the process. While the benefits of including fruits and vegetables in your diet are widely known, the medical benefits of dairy are often overlooked. The following are a handful of ways that dairy products like low-fat milk, cottage
cheese and yogurt can make a nutritious and beneficial addition to your diet. • Dairy packs a protein- and calcium-laden punch. One cup of nonfat yogurt can provide as much as onethird of your daily recommended calcium intake and nearly 20 percent of your daily recommended protein intake. Though dairy products like ice cream don’t pack the same nutritious punch as yogurt, healthier fare like reduced-fat cheese and skim milk can go a long way toward meeting your daily intake of protein and calcium.

• Dairy is a great source of vitamin D. In addition to providing sufficient calcium and protein, dairy also helps men, women and children boost their vitamin D. That’s especially important in the winter months when people tend to get less exposure to the sun. Exposure to the sun is a natural way to boost your vitamin D, but the shorter days and colder weather of winter can make it hard to get sufficient vitamin D during that time of year.

Reasons to include more dairy in your diet Continued from previous page
Dairy products like low-fat milk can boost your vitamin D, which can improve your bone health and, according to recent research, might help reduce your cancer risk. • Dairy may help lower your blood pressure. Men and women with high blood pressure might benefit from including more dairy in their diets. In a study of 5,000 adults, Spanish researchers found that those who reported consuming the most low-fat dairy products were more than
50 percent less likely to develop high blood pressure than those who consumed less low-fat dairy.Though researchers are not certain as to the reason behind low-fat dairy products’impact on blood pressure, some theorize that their calcium and protein content are likely behind the benefit. • Dairy benefits your bones. Dairy has long been known to improve bone density. But it’s not just seniors who benefit from the bone-strengthening impact of dairy. Youngsters who consume dairy can also expect an increase in bone
mass, which can make them less susceptible to injuries like broken bones. Seniors who consume dairy to improve their bone density should know that a recent study from researchers at the Institute for Aging Research found that not all dairy products are equal when it comes to improving bone density. While milk and yogurt were linked to higher bone mineral density, dairy products like cream and ice cream contain less protein, calcium and vitamin D and more fat and sugar than yogurt and milk, and these products may actually be associated with lower bone mineral density. Though there are many ways men and women can improve their overall health, it’s important to consider the nutritional value of dairy when making any alterations to your diet.

has begun again. We have had two meetings so far. Our first meeting was at the Springbrook Hall, where we discussed meeting dates, elected our council and welcomed any new or returning members to our club. Our next meeting was at McKeown Motor Sales in Springbrook. We watched a few short clips about how to operate farm machinery, such as the tractors we will be using, safely. We also went for a tour of the lot and looked at all of the different plows that McKeown had. We talked about the parts of them and how to be safe while using a plow. We then ate pizza and dessert provided by McKeownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Our next meeting is on May 29, 2017 in the field behind McKeown Motor Sales. This will be our first meeting using the tractors and plows. As reported by Zach Kay
The Centre Hasting Beef Club
Meeting number one of the Hastings County 4-H Beef Club was held on May 9, 2017 There were lots of new and returning faces at the meeting. We did our elections for President, Vice President, Secretary, and Press Reporter after we got to know everyone a little bit. When elections were complete we talked about what a good beef heifer looked like and what the number one thing to look for was. Good structure is the number one thing to look for in a beef heifer secondly you want them to be well behaved so you can show them along with that you want your calf to have good muscle structure to them. Once everyone had an idea of what a good 4-H beef heifer looked like we went threw the yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule. The club has grown greatly from last year and we are still welcoming new members. If you are interested the next meeting for the Hastings County 4-H Beef Club is on May 24, 2017 at 6:30.

Concert for our times at The Regent Picton - He’s known by many live music fans across eastern Ontario as the king of lounge entertainers. Spencer Evans, based in Kingston, has played extensively throughout the province, including Brockville, Picton, Belleville, Ottawa, Westport and on recordings with major artists, such as Sarah Harmer. A few months ago, he put together a show called “Fats, Ray and Jerry Lee,” which thrilled an excited crowd at the large Brockville theatre, where the manager de-
scribed it as “ the best ever.” Now he brings that show to the Quinte area, featuring a backup band and singers, to The Regent Theatre, Saturday, June 10 at 7:30 p.m. Truly music known to almost everyone, it will include the classic hits of Fats Domino, Ray Charles (“Georgia,”) and the lively rhythms of rocker Jerry Lee Lewis. Tickets are available at The Regent Box Office by email or phone (613) 476-8416. This is a complete family fun night, say organizers.

Taylor Angus duo stars onstage at Caper’s June 3 Belleville - The first thing that grabs you is the voice. Crisp yet emotive and utterly indifferent to gravity, it glides then soars over a deceptively simple foundation of guitar and piano alternately conjuring jazzy pop and poppy jazz with a smidge of folk that’s utterly unlike anything you’ve heard before but something you instantly want to hear again. This is the music of Taylor Angus, the fast-emerging duo featuring namesake singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Taylor Angus and her partner, guitarist/songwriter Logan Brown and her partner. The duo takes over the intimate Caper’s in downtown Belleville June 3 for a not-to-bemissed show, said the popular downtown resto-lounge. Together, the pair - by their reckoning, spiritual cousins to Buckingham Nicks, but musically closer to Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass – crafts original songs so unique yet accessible
Taylor Angus and her partner, guitarist/songwriter Logan Brown play the Capers room in Belleville June 3. Submitted photo
that their brilliant new six-track World domination is in the EP, Sympathy For You, can be crosshairs for the Kingston/Otviewed as both an artistic state- tawa-based musicians, a point ment and a statement of intent. corroborated by their dazzling
2016 debut First Light of Dawn which electrified music fans, radio programmers and even British synth-pop star Howard Jones, who invited them on tour. “Our hope is that this EP will do what our last record did: open doors for us as artists able to do this full-time,” Brown says. “This is a total blessing, and to have First Light of Dawn garner real fans that weren’t our parents was amazing,” the guitarist howls. Judging by the early success of the new EP’s saucy, guitargoosed focus track, ‘You’re Gonna Wish I Stayed,’ it looks like Taylor Angus’ desire to “shoot for the moon and land among the stars” is very much on track. Recorded over a few intense days in winter 2017 at Hamilton’s Catherine North Studios with bassist Oscar Ansetti guesting, Sympathy For You is a snapshot of Angus and Brown’s total convergence as a duo after performing solo: she at Ottawa Bluesfest and recording a demo
with legendary producer Thom Panunzio at Interscope Studios in Los Angeles, and he winning multiple guitar and songwriting awards across Ontario. The duo’s easy harmony is palpable in songs like ‘Cry Me A River’ which finds Angus’ voice draped like a shawl across Brown’s supple acoustic guitar, and in the earwormy and sprightly ‘Your Choice’ which, along with plaintive ballad ‘Lay Down,’ features Brown sharing lead vocals for the first time. That Sympathy For You comes with 3D glasses to better enhance its cover image is further proof the couple follows their instinct no matter what. “It is an undertaking to include the glasses in the CD,” Angus laughs. “But we thought it would be cool.” Sometimes, cool is enough… especially when you boast the inimitable sound and style of Taylor Angus. The show gets underway at 8 p.m. for diners. Reservations are recommended at 613-968-7979.
Quinte Conservation’s electric car drives home message BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – Quinte-area drivers may soon notice a white Ford Focus with, oddly, a green-lettered Ontario licence plate on the road this summer. It’s an electric car, owned by Quinte Conservation. The environmental agency recently purchased the vehicle from Prinzen Ford, in Bloomfield. General Manager Terry Murphy said the organization is trying to lead by example. By driving an electric car, in replace of a normal gas guzzler, Quinte Conservation is contributing to a better environment. “We’re trying to run our own mandate, doing the right thing to protect the environment,” he said. Quinte Conservation’s board approved the purchase a year and a half ago, but it took some time for the organization to find a dealership in its area that had a licence to sell electric cars. While not able to site exact numbers, Murphy said the vehicle cost the organization about $20,000, (but that was after it received a rebate valued at $14,000 from senior government to purchase the vehicle.) Murphy said, right now, the incentive for owning an electric car isn’t for financial reasons. A normal gas car is more practical Terry Murphy charges the electric car, with a charging station installed for most people. However, Quinte Conservation outside the Quinte Conservation office.

the car consumes and how much it will save in the long run by not purchasing gas and not needing oil changes. In time, he said, Quinte Conservation hopes to build a new garage at its Old Highway 2 location and power it with solar panels. If those solar panels can then power the car, the vehicle would leave no significant environmental impact. Murphy has driven it a few times already and said “it’s quite comfortable and quiet … It’s like
driving a golf cart.” He said the car, when fully charged, can drive about 180 kilometres. That allows it to do return trips to most areas, within Quinte Conservation’s jurisdiction, which includes the Moira, Salmon and Napanee river watershed, plus Prince Edward County. In the past, Quinte Conservation has owned hybrid vehicles, which were run on both gas and electricity. But, this vehicle is its first fully electric car.
Kids of all ages enjoyed Quinte Symphony season finale BY JACK EVANS
Belleville - Quinte Symphony’s final full concert for the current season Sunday afternoon at Belleville’s St Theresa School great hall drew a small but happy audience as children got a chance to try their hand at conducting and playing different instruments. Even some of the adults tried their hand at the instruments in a program, which featured local actor Rick Zimmerman narrating the famous “Tubby the Tuba” educational piece for orchestra, which focuses on the tuba, but also highlights every different instrument and section. The venue was the first time the orchestra has performed in this hall and the sound while described by players on the stage as “wooden,” was spectacularly great for those in the audience, with every solo bit soaring out into the hall from the stage and sections booming through loud and clear. The one-level convenience and abundant nearby parking were also noted. Zimmerman pointed out that the opening work, Mozart’s over-
ture to his beloved opera, “The Magic Flute,” was like a fairy tale with a beautiful princess, a villain and a dashing hero. For Saint-Saens’ rhythmic and stirring “Marche Militaire Francaise,” conductor Dan Tremblay allowed several of the children
a chance to conduct portions of it, after first giving them an impromptu lesson. For “Tubby the Tuba,”the orchestra’s Greg Henderson was front of stage to play an instrument who only wanted a chance to play a “beautiful melody,” instead
of “oom pah.” The program concluded with music from the popular contemporary family musical, Frozen.” Then it was instrument “petting zoo” time. Various orchestra members will still be seen and heard at community events during the sum-
mer months, starting with the Arts and Wine Festival on Saturday, June 10 from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. on the riverfront across from City Hall, and some other events. The orchestra’s first concert for its new season is Sunday, Oct. 1, called “Orchestral Favourites.”

BTG’s new musical scary, but funny BY JACK EVANS
In the words of Cole Porter, this Thursday brings “another opening of another show.” “Little Shop of Horrors” brings doo-wop style music front and centre of the stage for a popular musical, which could be called scarily hilarious or hilariously scary. Directed by Meaghan Lattanzio, making her Pinnacle Playhouse debut in that job, the show itself is a new first time production for the BTG. When a cute little plant is discovered in the “inner city,” its proud new owner soon discovers that it is a man-eating monster and must find a way to deal with it, along with keeping his terrible mistake away from the love of his life. In her director’s remarks, Lattanzio says: “it shows the extremes one might go to for fame, fortune and love.” Toe-tapping music comes from a pit band comprising drummer and music director Nik Buchowski, piano, Charlie Jiang, guitars Dalin Whitford and Liam Greer and bass, Quinn Guernsey, all of them first time participants at the Playhouse except Whitford. The mostly youthful cast also includes a predominant number of newcomers to the Playhouse stage, including Skylar Pierson, Matthew Hawley as Puppeteer, Kevin Pierson, Reg. Stacey, Jonathan Wright, MacKenzie Hogle and Amanda Robertson, leaving Wendy Roy and Alyssa Ross as the only two cast members from previous BTG shows. Show time is 8 p.m. for opening night tonight and the rest of the run, plus some Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. As usual, opening night will be followed by a reception to meet and greet the cast in the downstairs green room.
