Rolling thunder heralds Heroes Highway Ride

By Ross Lees

Lou DeVuono (right) prepares to start the ride while Silver Cross Mother Anna Loveman prepares to ride behind him on her first motorcycle ride.

Quinte West - If you were adjacent to the National Air Force Museum of Canada’s (NAFMC) parking lot Saturday morning, you would have no trouble understanding why they call a large motorcycle procession “rolling thunder.”

As the approximately 2,200 motorcycles making up the Heroes Highway Ride 2016 departed from that location to begin the annual fundraising and memorial ride, the thunder rolled for nearly an hour to empty the lot.

The long line of motorcycles would follow Highway 401 - Highway of Heroes to Port Hope for a huge rally at Port Hope Memorial Park in memory of fallen and presently serving Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members.

Organized by Lou DeVuono since 2009 after he witnessed a repatriation ceremony along the Highway of Heroes, the ride now regularly attracts 2,000 motorcyclists or more to the annual event and the ride has raised

approximately $180,000 by collecting voluntary donations for chosen charities such as Wounded Warriors, the Tony Stacey Centre for Veterans Care as well as Toronto and Trenton Military Family Resource centres.

DeVuono led the eighth annual ride again this year, but he carried one of two Silver Cross mothers on the back of his bike this year for her first ride on a motorcycle – Anna Loveman, of Port Hope, whose son, Kyle Sinclair, was killed in a training accident in Petawawa in 2014. The other Silver Cross mother was Jihan Falah, of Petewawa, whose son Trooper Marc Diab, was killed in 2009, the 112th Canadian soldier killed in Afghanistan.

For DeVuono, the reason for the annual ride is simply stated.

“It is to demonstrate our support for the men and women of our CAF who support our country,” he said just prior to the departure of the motorcycles. “It gives us a chance to demonstrate our gratitude for the Continued on page 3

Rolling thunder heralds Heroes Highway Ride Continued from page 1 sacrifices of these young men and women serving our country.”

This ride has grown to become Canada’s largest premier “Support Our Troops” event, according to the Heroes Highway Ride and Rally Association, a notfor-profit Ontario Corporation which oversees the organizing of the event while sharing the management of the HHR with their hosts, the Canadian Army Veterans (CAV) Motorcycle Club.

During the time riders were congregated at the museum and RCAF Arena parking lot, they had the opportunity to enter the

air park and take photos with their bike for a small donation to the NCFMC NAFMC in the amount of $10.

426 Transport Training Squadron’s Master Warrant Officer John Nichols, oversaw the event from a military standpoint and was impressed with the number of bikes taking part.

“It was a resounding success from the 8 Wing point of departure, pending a positive ride to Port Hope,” he saidafter the event. He said there was great support from the OPP and firefighters, who parked in the lemon lot across from the north gate and gave departing motorcyclists a rousing sendoff.

Hugh O’Neil Friendship Garden gets final approval

By Erin Stewart

TICO#50007364

Trenton – Quinte West council gave final approval for the High O’Neil Friendship Garden to blossom next to the Trent Port Marina during the council meeting on Mon. June 6.

Council also decided that Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison, Deputy Mayor Jim Alyea and councillor Allan DeWitt are appointed to the Hugh O’Neil Memorial Working Group to work alongside the friendship garden committee in an effort to ensure the project will be construction ready for the fall of 2016.

Council also approved a moratorium to be placed on memorials for a period of one year in order to develop a policy and have it approved by council.

Council originally approved the location of the Hugh O’Neil Friendship Garden

after the friendship garden committee’s presentation at council on May 16 where the committee asked for council’s approval for the location beside the Trent Port Marina, believing it to be city property.

City staff contacted the committee after the council meeting to advise them the location is not owned by the city but leased by the city from TSC Realty Ltd. After consulting with TCS Realty Ltd. there was no objection to the location of the garden and it will move forward to be constructed on the leased land.

The city is currently in a 25year lease with a provision to extend for an additional 25 years if the terms of the lease are met. If the lease expires, the memorial garden will have to be moved.

“Hugh did a lot of things for Trenton and the Quinte area,

it’s great, this gives us an opportunity to recognize what he’s done,” said Harrison.

“It’s great, the committee will do a good job and it will get done.”

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

The committee intends to have O’Neil “life chapter plaques” so people can read his story around the garden and the committee is also hoping to use the same stone used in the construction of the Ontario Legislature as a means to symbolize Hugh’s 20 years of service as an MPP. The estimated cost of the garden is $50,000.

Quinte celebrates grand opening of Trent Port Marina tive Officer.

“I was hired in Trenton in November 1987 Trenton – More than 150 people celebrated and one of the first projects I worked on was the official grand opening of the Trent Port a feasibility study for a 350 slip marina,” Marina at the gateway of the Trent-Severn Murphy told the crowd. He said the prospect of a new marina was actually on and off the Waterway on Sat. June 4.

Now that the marina is fully complete with table for about 29 years.

“The Trent-Severn is a national asset but in 2009.

Williams said the project took a lot of hard it’s an asset neglected from all government work, dedication and a lot of patience from federally that we have let down and needs a city staff and everyone involved in the pro- lot of repairs,” he said.

“It’s been on our map to look at in this govcess, which he said was stressful at times.

“There’s no marina around this lake that ernment in our infrastructure spending, this could touch this facility and we’re very very is a start today to take this project back to proud of it,” he said. “Everybody worked show government to say this is what we can hard with us to get through this and make this do as a community now it is up to the federal thing possible so we want to thank them for government to do our part.”

Forder said the response to the new marina has been great, the gathering hall has been booked five days a week for the past month, and it’s important the community knows it’s a place for the public to enjoy.

Kids, cops, rainbow trout – it’s Family Fishing Day at the quarry

By John Campbell Trent Hills – More than 100 youngsters and adults took part in the 13th annual Seymour Family Fishing Day held June 4 at the Seymour Conservation Area. Lower Trent Conservation once again partnered with the Kids, Cops and Canadian Tire program in hosting the free event, stocking the quarry with 200 rainbow trout.

The grassroots program was created by the Police Association of Ontario, Bob Izumi, Canadian Tire and Fishing Forever to encourage youngsters to go fishing, but it proved a bit more challenging this year at Seymour CA because of a large presence of algae.

“We’ve never, ever seen it like that and I’ve worked with the conservation authority for 28 years,” LTC communications coordinator Marilyn Bucholtz told entrants before handing out a slew of draw prizes of rod and reel combos, tackle bags and T-shirts.

She attributed the algae’s growth to a dry April and May which failed to produce the rainfall that would normally dilute the spring-fed quarry’s nutrient-rich water.

“We’re encouraging people to come on back any time in the next week or so because the rainbow aren’t going to survive the temperatures,” she said.

Emily Smith and her three children – Vanya, 6, Owen, 3, and Yaretzi, 1 – are visiting from Mexico, spending a month with her mother, Kerry Burke, in Campbellford. Last Saturday they tried their hand fishing at Seymour Conservation Area as part of the Kids, Cops and Canadian Tire program hosted

by Lower Trent Conservation. Among those taking part was Hilary Sharpe, Ava and Brodie Cameron of Trenton and their cousin David Cameron of Wooler, in the middle, all won prizes at the 13th annual a member of the Northumberland OPP Auxiliary.

OPINION

Universal basic income In a referendum on Sunday, Swiss voters rejected a proposal for a guaranteed annual income for everybody by an overwhelming 78 per cent to 22 per cent majority.

But the idea was not crazy, and it is not going to go Gwynne Dyer away.

The old argument in defence of technological change, that it creates more new jobs than it destroys, no longer holds water. In the 1980s, eight per cent of new jobs created in the developed economies were in entirely new occupations, from call-centres to computer programmers. In the 1990s, only 4.4 per cent of the new jobs involved newly invented occupations. In the 2000s, only half a per cent did.

So full-time jobs with benefits have declined (only one-quarter of working-age Americans now have one) and the socalled “gigging economy” has not filled the gap. You may be able to stay afloat financially by doing a variety of “gigs,” low-paid, short-term, often part-time jobs, but you will never make ends meet, let alone get a mortgage.

Industrial jobs were the first to be destroyed by automation, but it soon moved on to the less demanding clerical jobs as well. As somebody said: “Every ATM contains the ghosts of three bank tellers.” And now it’s moving on to the kinds of jobs that it once seemed impossible to automate.

Driving, for example.

The driverless vehicles that are now to be found meticulously observing the speed limit (and causing angry traffic jams behind them) on the roads of various major cities will soon be out of the experimental stage. At that point, the jobs of many millions of truck-drivers, bus-drivers and vandrivers will be in jeopardy.

Yet this “problem” is actually a success story. Why would you see an economy that delivers excellent goods and services without requiring people to devote half their waking hours to work as a problem?

The real problem is figuring out how to distribute the benefits of automation when

people’s work is no longer needed.

And so to this relatively new idea: universal basic income. The core principle is that everybody gets a guaranteed income that is enough to live on, whether they are poor or rich, employed or not. They can earn as much more as they want, if they can find the work, but their basic needs are covered.

The actual amounts did not get mentioned in the Swiss referendum, but the people who proposed it were thinking in terms of a monthly income of $2,500 for every adult, and an additional sum of $625 a month for every child. It would replace the usual humiliating jumble of welfare payments with a single fixed sum for everybody, so it has appeal for the right wing as well as the left.

In the Swiss model (and in many others) the cost of a universal basic income is about 50 per cent higher than current expenditure on welfare payments, so taxes would be higher. But so would incomes, including those of high earners, since even they are getting the same flat annual payment of $30,000 per adult.

As for the inevitable rise of the “gigging economy,” that then becomes just the way people top up their incomes in order to afford luxuries. If there is work available, then people would still want to do it, but if there is not, they would still have decent lives.

About half the remaining traditional fulltime jobs in advanced economies will be eliminated by automation in the next 1020 years, so this is an idea whose time has come. Then why did the Swiss reject it by a 4-to-1 majority? Mainly because their deal with the European Union means that they have relatively open borders.

Luzi Stamm, a member of parliament for the right-wing Swiss People’s Party, liked the idea in principal but opposed it in practice: “Theoretically, if Switzerland were an island, the answer is yes,” he told the BBC. “But with open borders, it’s a total impossibility. If you offered every individual [living here] a Swiss amount of money, you would have billions of people who would try to move into Switzerland.”

Well, tens of millions anyway. But the solution to that is to control the borders, not to abandon the whole idea. And it will be back.

Editorial - Chris Malette Okay, not so hard-hitting here this week, but the loss of a television show was much more than a soft story this past week for many of a, ahem, certain demographic.

That is, many north of 50 years old who tuned in to the CTV morning show Canada AM – over, say, the mindless prattle of CP24 and others – were outraged, saddened and feeling abandoned after the network gassed former CJBQ news reporter Beverley Thomson and friends.

(Disclaimer - I worked with Bev covering city hall, among other beats, back in the early 90s and can tell you she’s all that and a bag of chips in terms of news sense and a sharp noodle. Now, my wife jokes ‘Your girlfriend’s on TV…’ She wasn’t my GF, but I can tell you there was at least one local media guy so smitten with Bev he, at a daydrinking pub farewell session for Bev, dropped to his knees in a beery plea to ask her to stay in Belleville… but I digress.)

The program has been billed as “Canada’s mostwatched national morning newsmagazine.” Pffft… fat load that mattered.

Bell Media has said that Thomson will move to CTV News Channel while Marci Ien will develop new projects with Bell Media In-House Productions. Bev always was a newsie at heart and Ien leaned toward the entertainment aspects of the program.

With Thomson’s news chops – she really is a good interviewer – and Ien’s sunny entertainment stuff, coupled with the weather and other features, it was a well-accepted, much-loved morning ritual for thousands.

Social media exploded in outrage when CTV unceremoniously pulled the plug. Why, you could almost hear the dentures clacking in anger as we of a certain age vented online.

Here’s one that pretty much sums it up, as it appeared on Facebook: “I don’t get this next generation B.S.?! You want to have seasoned reporters/anchors, they get so much better with time. CNN dumped Larry King and look what that got them! Also Hockey Night in Canada, why is George Snuffleappagus hosting?

Ron Maclean knows everything about the sport, down to the local leagues. I am sad. The last thing I want to see is Ben Mulroney every morning!!

Sincerely, Not so old guy” Never underestimate the frustration of the abovementioned viewers of a certain age – you know,

the demographic often dismissed by advertisers who fail to grasp the fact that no amount of gerrymandering is going to lure young eyes in the cherished 25-45 demographic to watch morning television Monday to Friday.

When the announcement inevitably came Monday, confirming reports that the impossibly-coiffed son of former prime minister, Brian Mulroney – scion, Ben Mulroney, will be taking over the show with co-host Anne-Marie Mediwake, the reception was underwhelming from most quarters.

Let’s face it, the television media landscape, anymore, is largely a vapid wasteland of celebrity gossip and reality shows, interspersed with 24-hour news channels that run half-hour loops of news reports.

The new brand of TV, if you let yourself be lulled by the hipsters who come up with this new shortattention-span viewer-based planning strategy, is short, snappy, happy entertainment dreck a la ETalk (where we’re told Mulroney will remain) interspersed with a quick short shot of news, sports and weather. The rest, for those who care, will be taken up with celebrity babble, hosts laughing and giggling at each others’ inanities and pictures of Kardashians in a bikini or evening gown.

Jeff Hutchison, the former co-host from Canada AM who had announced he was retiring this September, regardless, had this to say to a CBC radio program last weekend.

“I think you’re going to see a show that’s more entertainment/lifestyle, maybe a little less newsy,” said Hutcheson. “In this world, they’re following what they think is the next shift.”

There you have it. The guy who’s been on the inside (even if his silly Internet segment was cat-video heavy and sometimes unwatchable) just gave you a coded message for what’s really happening to your TV viewing trends, geezers.

The ‘they’ he is referring to are the people who care not a whit about you or your diminishing spending patterns – they think they’re going to lure kids back to morning television, a place the kids left a long, long, long time ago for tablets, laptops and smart phones.

Adios, then Bev and friends. Those of us who will miss you will likely be lumped in with the people who bawled when Johnny Carson left the airwaves.

Johnny who?

Quinte West turns out for Camp Day

By Erin Stewart Trenton – Donations to send children to camp through Tim Hortons’ Camp Day fundraiser rolled in as Quinte West community members donated and volunteered for the event on Wed. June 1.

All of the proceeds from coffee sales on Camp Day, Tim Hortons’ annual fundraiser, give children in economically difficult situations the opportunity to attend camp.

Dave Valdes, paramedic with Hastings Quinte Paramedic, volunteered with his partner at the Dundas Street West Tim Hortons. He said each year Camp Day happens to be right after their night shift.

“We just love it, we’re a little tired but knowing what this is for it kind of gives you a second and third wind… It’s my second year here so at least I’m a little bit experienced, I’m not screwing up too many coffees hopefully,” Valdes laughed.

Doug Robertson, owner of five Tim Hortons locations in Trenton and one in Campbellford, said he looks forward to Camp Day every year.

Last year Robertson said the Quinte West locations were able to

raise around $23,000 and send eight children from Quinte West to camp.

“It’s very gratifying, the kids will send me letters from camp and it’s very gratifying to see these kids and the smile on their faces because it’s an opportunity they wouldn’t have,” he said.

Robertson said he is hoping the Quinte West locations will exceed last year’s total.

“It’s a huge day for the community,” he said. “I would like to thank the community for participating in our special Camp Day because they are the people who make this happen.”

Jessica Griffiths, Tim Hortons employee for five years, washed customers’ windshields in the drivethru for donations. She said she has been a part of three Camp Days and her and her daughter love supporting the fundraiser.

“It’s great that people want to come out and they get excited and want to help the kids, it’s great to see that every year,” Griffiths said.

“Everyone thinks it’s great, they’re more than willing to donate, everything helps though, everything counts.”

Man beaten with bricks in Trenton

A vicious beating involving bricks has found a Trenton couple facing equally serious charges.

In a case that has only this week come to light, Quinte West OPP said they responded last Tuesday to a west end Trenton home, where a man was assaulted by another man and a woman. The complainant in the case was struck with bricks, which were on the front yard of the property.

No name of the assaulted man has been released, but he was taken to hospital, where he was treated for serious injuries.

Last Sunday afternoon, officers arrested 19 year old Hailey Gallant and 24 year old David Peacock with assault causing bodily harm and mischief.

The pair will appear in Belleville Consolidated Court June 16.

New Ghent Park playground opens in Bayside

By Erin Stewart Bayside – Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison cut the ribbon to the new playground at Ghent Park on Ghent Drive in Bayside on Thur. June 2.

“Today it’s a fantastic venue for the community to use and it meets all of the accessibility requirements going forward so we’re really pleased and I know council is really pleased with what staff have provided for all of the community to use,” said Chris Angelo, director of public works and environmental services.

Quinte West council decided to allocate $70,000 for the creation of the new playground out of the Sydney Reserve Fund last fall after a number of public meetings.

Councillor Allan DeWitt said he just saw an empty lot with nowhere to sit when he walked through the subdivision during his campaign.

“There should have been a park here a long time ago,” said DeWitt. “Now we have one, anything that promotes healthy living and outdoor activities for children I think is a good thing, the city needs more of that.”

The new park was designed with children age

five to 12 in mind and features a wood fibre playground surface, monkey bars, new swing set with an accessible swing, multiple slides and the equipment’s brown and green tones match the natural colours in the area to go along with Quinte West’s natural attraction theme.

Councillor Karen Sharpe said her favourite part of the park is the kids club in the corner where children can use their imagination to play.

“Parks of this nature allow kids the opportunity to play in a safe creative environment and the opportunity for children to interact and families to come so it’s really part of neighbourhood and community development,” she said.

Angelo said Ghent Park is part of Quinte West’s momentum to develop and improve parks throughout the entire city in support of an active transportation plan.

“Over the next short while and through our capital and operations budget council has invested significant dollars towards active transportation not only for cycling but for running, for increasing mobility throughout the entire city so that’s our goal,” said Angelo.

Quinte West council approves $25,000 for G-Hawks Dudley-Hewitt Cup Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison and Deputy Mayor Jim Alyea hold up their new 2017 dudleyTrenton – Quinte West council ap- Hewitt Cup jerseys after approving $25,000 to proved $25,000 to support the Tren- support the G-Hawks’ cost of hosting the 2017 ton Golden Hawks’ cost of hosting Dudley in May.

By Erin Stewart

the 2017 Dudley-Hewitt Cup during the council meeting at city hall on Mon. June 6.

Council approved the minutes from the corporate and financial services meeting recommending the approval of $25,000 towards the cost of hosting the Dudley now, paid from the 2016 operating budget. Council will decide on further funding towards the Dudley during the 2017 operating budget deliberations.

“It’s a huge boost to our marketing program and getting the message out, not only to the community of Quinte West but all of Ontario,” said Rob McDonald, 2017 DudleyHewitt Cup coordinator. “We’ve got some pretty cool plans in place to take the trophies on tour to the other 21 cities in our league and that’s all with assistance from Quinte West.”

After a fantastic 2015/2016 season

where the G-Hawks swept the Dudley and made it to the RBC Cup, the team is looking forward to keeping the momentum going and McDonald said they are going to put on a great Dudley.

He said the $25,000 in funding will go towards their branding and marketing.

“We’re representing not only the team now but also this great city that’s supported the team so well all year and this goes a long way to helping us promote the city,” he said.

Mayor Jim Harrison said investing in the Dudley-Hewitt Cup will bring a lot of business and revenue to the area.

“We’ve got to support it, we want to make it good, to promote anything it costs money,” he said. “I’m quite pleased with what they do and what they’ve done and I want it to continue.”

Stirling council told about new property assessments

By Terry McNamee Stirling – There is now more data available than ever before about how properties are being assessed by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC), and on Monday, June 6, Catherine Barr of the MPAC visited Stirling council to tell them how to access it.

Barr said the latest assessments are effective as of January 2016 and will remain in effect for the taxation years of 2017 through 2020. These assessments determine the market value of each piece of property, which is required in order for a municipality to determine how much property tax is owed by each property owner.

Barr said that all residential property assessments were mailed in May and owners should have them by now.

Farm property assessments will be sent out in October, and other assessments will be mailed in late October, she said.

Barr said the new notices feature a new design that is easier to understand and contains more relevant information. Property owners who feel their assessment is incorrect have 120 days to file a request for reconsideration.

But increases will not become effective immediately. “Any increase in assessment is phased in over four years,� she told council.

She said assessments are based on many different factors, among them

the location of the property, the size of the lot, the size and age of the house and so on. She said people can go online at aboutmyproperty.ca to find both general assessment information and specific details about their own assessment. They also can compare their property with up to 100 others and check market trends. She said people should also check the information listed about their property to ensure that the data on file with the MPAC is correct. Help is available online at mpac.ca or at the MPAC office in Trenton.

The website also has information that can be used by municipalities with regard to the community;s overall assessment and where areas of differing assessments are located. Barr said a typical home has gone up in value by $34,000 since the last assessment done in 2012. “Have you heard what farmland is going to do?� asked Mayor Rodney Cooney. “I’ve heard Northumberland has gone crazy.�

Barr said farmland is going up in value rapidly. “Yes, there is an increase — there’s no doubt about that,� she said. However, she added, actual figures won’t be available until October.

The Mayor said this is a big concern in Stirling-Rawdon, because the Township has the greatest percentage of farmland of any municipality in Hastings County. Nearly 70 per cent of land in this Township is farmland.

Bustling 5th annual Dr. Younes’ dentistry from the heart

By Erin Stewart Trenton – Dr. R. Younes Dental Care treated 106 patients with free dental care during its 5th annual dentistry from the heart event on Friday June 3.

Patients started to line up at Dr. R. Younes Dental Care office at 3 a.m. and by the time registration opened at 7:30 a.m. Younes said they had 75 people ready to register.

“I love it here,” said patient Randy Stark, who said he got in line at 6 a.m. “They’re very efficient, they do fabulous work, the staff are very courteous, friendly, they make you feel welcome.”

Stark said this year was his second year at Dr. Younes’ dentistry from the heart event because he doesn’t have dental coverage.

He had chips in his two front teeth fixed and said he was feeling great after Dr. Younes made them look perfect again.

“I didn’t think they’d do both, I love it,” said Stark. “It’s a fabulous place.”

Six dentists and six hygienists were on location to look after patients from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Patients had their choice of filling, extraction or cleaning performed at no cost.

Younes said the day was fantastic and patients said they were grateful

for the help.

Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison “It’s great that we can help them and and Quinte West Fire Chief John take them out of pain and fix their Whelan stopped by the event to show teeth,” he said. “I had just seen a girl, their support. she just finished school and she’s ap- Trenton’s farmers market donated plying for a job so finances are hard for her right now, and I did fillings for her so she can smile now and hopefully that will help her get a job too.”

Younes said it’s a very gratifying day for everyone working.

“We love it, it’s a lot of fun and very rewarding at the end of the day because you just do what you can and it’s just about giving back to the community and the patients that we can help.”

hot dogs, McDonald’s donated coffee and Quinte West Fire Department volunteers were on hand for their fifth year to show their support and give information and products to patients.

Bayside junior girls victorious at Barbarian Cup Bayside’s Jade Boucher makes a slashing run against Smiths Falls in a 15-7 semi final win at the Barbarian Cup rugby tournament in Belleville Monday. Bayside would go on to beat Uxbridge 22-12 to win the girls division.

The Barbarian Cup is the Ontario championships for boys and girls junior rugby as there is no competition in those age groups at OFSAA. Belleville Bulldogs hosted the tournament and it will return to Belleville in 2018.

Bulldogs Women improve to perfect 3-0 Belleville Bulldogs each year field some of the best senior men and women’s rugby teams in the province, owing to a strong feeder system in local schools.

Nowhere, this season, is that more evident than with the Bulldogs Senior Women, who improved to 3-0 in the early stages of their season with a convincing 52-10 win over Peterborough Pagans Saturday.

The Bulldogs Women have not won a match without scoring at least 40 points all season and Saturday’s strong outing, played

on a scorching turf field at Peterborough’s Thomas A Stewart Secondary School, was an example of the depth of coach Peter Hercus’ squad.

Jordan Semark led Belleville with three tries while Hannah Wilson had a pair with singles to Roberta Drummond, Jess Hercus, Dusty Tibbs, Brianna Newman and Shelly Malette. Hercus kicked one convert.

This Saturday, Belleville is home to Oshawa at MA Sills Park. Time of the match was not available at press time.

Four-legged, four-wheeled beasts against cancer at Pullin’ for a Cure

By Stephen Petrick Belleville – Bonny Tanner would have loved this one.

Hundreds of people packed the grandstand at the Quinte Exhibition & Raceway on Saturday, June 4 to watch horses and tractors pull large weights with all their might.

Opposite the grandstand, on the other side of the track, dozens more people watched casually from pickup trucks, enjoying the show with friends and family until the sun set over the west-end Belleville sky.

It was all for a good cause too, as proceeds from the $10 admission went to support the Canadian Cancer Society’s Wheels of Hope program.

Pullin’ for a Cure was launched four years ago to honour Bonny Tanner, the mother of a Foxboro family who loved tractor and horse pulls and could often be found at such shows at area fall fairs.

“If she was here she’d have a big smile on her face,” said Bonny’s daughter, Tandie Tanner.

She added that the family-friendly nature of horse or tractor pulls is what attracted her mother to the events. “It’s something that families can do together,” Tandie said.

Bonny died after a battle with brain cancer on March 13, 2011 in her 57th year.

Not long after her death, family members and friends worked to set up the Pullin’ for a Cure event.

In its first year, the event raised

money for research into brain cancer. In the second year, the program was set up to ensure all moneys raised would stay in the community.

This year, organizers decided to have proceeds go to the Wheels of Hope, a program that allows volunteers to drive cancer patients to doctor’s appointments, often out of town.

This program ensures patients don’t have the burden of losing money on transportation costs on top of their already stressful ordeals.

Tandie said her family was happy to have an opportunity to contribute to Wheels for Hope this year, as she said it’s important to do “anything that makes it easier for families.”

She said the time following her mother’s diagnosis was stressful and it now seems like a blur. So she appreciates how families battling cancer can really benefit from Wheels of Hope.

At 6 p.m., shortly before 5,500-pound tractors were put to the test, an opening ceremony was held where two local cancer-surviving children were honoured.

Carson McKenna was given an opportunity to ride a modified highway tractor. And moments later Carly Land, with help from Prince Edward-Hastings MPP Todd Smith, released yellow balloons into the air, to signal the start of another important cancer fundraising event.

Amy Doyle, the director of the reminded guests that funds raised CCS’s Hastings-Prince Edward for cancer programs makes a huge County and Brighton Community difference.

Office, took the microphone and She said today the survival rate

for a child battling cancer is now 82 per cent, up significantly from the 1980s, when cancer fundraising took off.

The Good Earth:

Alternate hosts and rust

Dan Clost Rusts (there are quite a few of them) are caused be specific fungi (mostly Puccinia) with the adult or completed stage appearing quite similar: orange, brown or yellow “dust” on the leaves,

usually the underside, of infected plants.

In the ornamental garden, rusts may be unsightly but seldom do they cause the death of the infected plant. Perhaps one of the most common is Hollyhock Rust caused by Puccinia malvacaerum. The lower leaves are usually the first to be covered by orange spots with the higher leaves being affected subsequently. Fungicides are not available to us home gardeners so cleanliness is the best management method.

Leaves should be disposed of in the garbage not the compost pile; winter cleanup should include removal of all second year plants and all leafy material from first year plants. Some folks will place a relatively tall, 2-3’, perennial in front of their malva to hide the onset of rust. By the way, this fungal chappie will visit other members of the malva clan including hibiscus, tree and rose mallows

(Lavatera), and Prairie mallows (Sidalcea) so don’t neglect them in your cleanup.

One of the fascinating aspects of rusts is that they don’t always hang around on just one plant; some of them like to visit other flora in the neighbourhood while they go through a certain phase of their life cycle. The “other plant” is called the alternate host. You might think grass rust would stick with other grasses, apple rust would stick with other apples etc. but that’s not always the case.

In our apple growing area of the Quinte region, cedar-apple rust is well-known. We have all seen it on the apple trees as well as on serviceberry, hawthorn, quince and a few other Rose family members.

Each is a different fungus but the common factor is that Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana) is the alternate host. We’ll usually notice it when we see drippy gobs of orange gelatinous goop “drip-

ping” from a juniper branch or in the palms of your ten-year old who has brought in something really cool to show you.

There’s really not much you can do except to look for the galls on the juniper before they maturity into the gloopy mess and cut them out. If you live near an apple orchard perhaps a good-neighbour thing to do would be to choose a different, non-host juniper for your landscape.

Again, the good news is that the tree will seldom die and cleanliness will greatly reduce the likeliness of infection in following years.

A lesser known fungus with an alternate host is Cronartium ribicola and the rust actually has two names. If you’re growing a commercial crop of berries it is Currant rust and if you have a forest of Eastern White Pines (Pinus strobus) it is White Pine Blister Rust.

Both plants are commonly found

as ornamentals in the landscape or as a non-commercial food source, e.g. gooseberry. And that is the problem, Gentle Reader. Which plant has the most value? What if I have currants and gooseberries (and I do) in my garden as an integral successive small fruit plan and my neighbour plants a pine tree? If the pathogen blows in on the breeze and sets up house on one of our properties, how would we resolve the issue? If I’m pine tree person, I might offer to replace the ribes with an alternative fruiting bush and supply my neighbour with currants until the new plant is producing. However, Ribes alpinum is a popular hedge plant because it performs well in sun and shade. A possible scenario now pits several hundred feet of hedge against a number of pine trees of equal value – which one gets removed? Btw, bring in a properly certified arborist to identify the pathogen.

Leverage the private sector to put patients first, chambers of commerce say

The Bay of Quinte Chambers of Commerce in partnership with the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, have released a new report, Prescription for Partnership, which points to the need for health care stakeholders, both public and private, to put patients first.

This report takes a closer look at the role commissioning can play in re-orienting a system that too often operates in response to budgetary pressure, the chambers say.

Commissioning allows public and private sector perspectives to

be in conversation much earlier in the decision-making process. The chambers cite commissioning as a way of focusing our system on outcomes for patients rather than inputs from providers. The report suggests, this kind of collaboration is a key enabler of innovations in access, quality, and cost.

“The provincial government needs to work with the private sector in order to meet its goal of putting patients first,” said Suzanne Andrews, general manager of the Quinte West Chamber

of Commerce. “We need the public and private sectors to problem-solve together and leverage one another’s expertise throughout the decision making process.”

Belleville Chamber CEO Bill Saunders added, “we are all well aware of health care concerns in our region. This approach will ensure that collaborative, well thought out solutions can be found to ensure the appropriate level of patient care.”

The private sector has long been an active participant in Ontario’s

health care system. In fact, the level of private sector involvement in Canadian health care is slightly above the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) average – 12th highest overall, and greater than 22 other countries in the OECD. However, the current relationship between the public sector and private health vendors (both for-profit and non-profit) lacks a co-operative structure and culture.

“Today, the public sector is largely

From the hamlet of Cooper to a world gold medal

By Diane Sherman Madoc - Jordan Graham anticipates the day Muaythai becomes an Olympic sport, and hopes to qualify for Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) status.

He just took the world gold in Sweden, May 28 in a final round against Mexico.

As a member of Muaythai Canada, a team of 21, Jordan competed in the 63.5 kilogram weight class and his team earned two silver and five bronze medals.

He is slight of build, but quick and powerful with his feet, hands, knees and elbows as required for the ancient sport of mauaythai, translated “boxing of Thailand.”

“It is known as the Art of Eight Limbs,” Jordan explained at his grandmother’s home in Madoc on June 4.

The sport continues to grow worldwide through the International Federation of Muaythai Amateur (IFMA) with 130 member countries. Patronage of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) since 2008 has raised its profile as a potential Olympic sport.

Jordan wants to represent Canada.

He is a Cooper native, (north of Madoc), born to Mark and Tammy Graham 21 years ago. His early days were spent here until his family moved to Belleville after Grade 9. His teacher at Centennial Secondary School practiced martial arts and Muaythai.

“I played hockey with the Grizzlies when I was younger, but decided there wasn’t a future in that for me. I needed another sport.”

When he found martial arts, he found his passion.

His parents, sister and companion Carly Rutter went with him to Sweden.

Travel expenses were not covered, so they had to save for the trip.

He also competes in mixed martial arts with a 5-0 record and stands at 33 wins and six losses in Muaythai.

He started competing in 2013, while training at Loyalist Martial Arts Academy in Belleville, and has since fought in Thailand, Malaysia, Italy, Panama, USA, Canada and now Sweden.

Tammy says he has long days,

working at his own business, Graham Utility Hydro Vac, then spends three hours training.

Jordan is classified as amateur. He says when the IOC acknowledges Muaythai as an Olympic sport, he will be ready.

See Team Canada on Facebook at Muaythai Canada or research the sport at muaythaicanada.org.

Jordan Graham took gold in the IFMA world finals in Sweden on May 28. Jordan along with parents Mark and Tammy met at grandmother Linda (Graham) Lavallee’s house, June 4, before heading up to Cooper for a family gathering. Photo by Diane Sherman

Stirling firefighters raise money for Alberta fire victims

By Terry McNamee Stirling - Despite rainy weather, local firefighters were out in force recently to help victims of the forest fire that forced the complete evacuation of Fort McMurray, Alberta.

Many of the members of the StirlingRawdon Fire Service spent part of Saturday, May 14, stopping traffic and asking people to donate to their Boot Drive. Most of those who stopped were happy to hand over spare change or even $5 and $10 bills for the cause.

“We had a good turnout from our department,” said Fire Chief Derrick Little. “The guys really support this event.”

Prior to the rain that day, the fire risk in this area had been at the highest level, making firefighters especially aware of the dangers faced out west.

“It really hit home with a lot of us because of the amount of grass brush fires we had this season and the amount of resources and effort that is required to fight them,” the chief said. “We can‘t imagine what the residents of Fort Mac and all the men and women firefighters and emergency services have gone through in an almost unbelievable disaster, and the magnitude and scale of that fire and the tireless hours that they have endured over the past few weeks and weeks to come. Our hearts go out to them.”

The Boot Drive raised $3,000 and has Stirling-Rawdon firefighters and some young volunteers held a Boot Drive in Stirling on Saturday, May 14, to raise money for the Red Cross Fort McMurray Relief Fund. Among them were, from left, Derrick been donated to the Red Cross Fort Mc- Morgan, Deputy Chief Bruce Farquhar and Matt Faulkner, with 8-year-old twins Ethan and Noah Morgan.

Belleville - A 51-year-old Madoc man, Darryll Slain, pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography and making child pornography available.

He was sentenced to 18 months in jail after appearing in a Belleville court last week. Slain also pleaded guilty to one count of careless storage of a firearm.

Slain was charged in 2015 after Sgt. Brian McDermott, of the OPP’s Child Sexual Exploitation Unit, tracked child pornography images to two IP addresses through two separate service providers to Slain’s home.

During their investigation, police found four guns in Slain’s home, one of which was unsecured.

He was given a five-year weapon prohibition, a 10-year order to not go to parks, playgrounds, schools, not be in a position of trust or authority to anyone under 16-years-old and to have no Internet access except as may be required for employment.

He will be also be listed on the sexual offender registry and was ordered to provide a DNA sample plus forfeit all items previously seized.

More than 1,200 charges laid in road safety campaign

By Terry McNamee Stirling – Police across Hastings and Prince Edward counties stepped up traffic enforcement from May 17-23 for Canada Road Safety Week, resulting in 1,288 charges being laid against area drivers.

Stirling-Rawdon Police Service Constable Scott Preston, spokesperson for the Quinte Region Media Traffic Coalition, said that 1,031 charges were for speeding and 51 involved seat belt violations.

Other offenses included 43 charges for distracted driving, 12 for stunt driving and nine for impaired driving. The remaining 142 charges were for a variety of other Highway Traffic Act offenses.

Preston said that, while the campaign is over,

the QRTC will continue to focus on the violations that are the major contributors to death and injury on Canada’s roads: speeding, distracted driving, impaired driving and improper or non-use of seat belts.

“Most of the deaths and injuries that occur on our roadways are preventable,” Preston said.

“We’re asking the public to choose safe behaviours while travelling on our roadways.”

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

Sneezy Waters plays the Old Church June 18 The legendary performer and actor ‘Sneezy’ Waters is bringing his music to Quinte West’s Old Church Theatre, at 940 Bonisteel Rd. on June 18.

Waters is probably best known for his live presentation in the title role in “Hank Williams: the Show He Never Gave,” premiering in 1977.

After 300 live performances from 1977 to 1990, through Canada and the US as well as Europe, Sneezy was chosen for the movie adaptation of the same name. By all accounts it was a runaway hit and was nominated for best film at the 19th annual Academy of Country Music awards. (Robert Duval’s ‘Tender Mercies’ won). Sneezy

won the best actor award for the role at the international film festival in Grenoble, France.

His musical credentials span more than 40 years and he has shared the stage with Bruce Cockburn, Joan Armatrading, Martin Mull, John Hammond Jr. and Roy Orbison. He has been featured on innumerable television and radio shows over the years. He plays all kinds of original folk and country music and will be appearing at the Old Church Theatre with well known Ottawa virtuoso guitarist Vince Halfhide.

Future of Madoc arena: costs versus puck passion

By Diane Sherman Eldorado – Rarely does anyone attend Madoc Township council meetings, but it was obvious debates over the local arena have changed that.

Karen Bailey, from the Bruce Lee House League hockey program and John Oke, president of the Centre Hastings Minor Hockey Association, appeared as delegations to council June 1.

Executive members of both leagues attended, along with parents and young players.

Retired pro players Steve Bancroft and Shawn Antoski talked with George Eastman, manager of the Bancroft arena, in the parking lot afterwards about the costs of arena operations.

Bancroft thanked Eastman for “coming down.”

The contingent of supporters gathered outside applauded Karen Bailey when she came out of the building.

The bottom line of both Bailey’s and Oke’s address to council was stated

by John Oke. “Our recommendation is to open communications with us [arena users]. We will work with you to keep the arena open.”

Bailey came prepared with financial comparisons, questioning where the township is using $181,294 budgeted for recreation this year, and why they cannot pull the $185,000 Centre Hastings is asking for from their $1.1 million reserve fund to avoid litigation.

“Those who use the arena should have something to say. We can help find a solution. We should have been consulted.”

Oke expressed concerns for the physical, social and mental health of young people, a primary concern with both delegations. That concern was also expressed in letters to council from Kent Howard, Matt MaCoy and Theresa BaileyDostalor.

Reeve Bob Sager told Bailey, “We don’t want to close the arena, but we can’t keep up with the costs.”

Deputy-Reeve Tom Bruce noted a quarter of a million was spent last year. “We have no control. The costs are scary.”

Councillor Loyde Blackburn stated all municipalities need a significant reserve fund for emergencies, and fielded questions about former agreements.

Sager said he and Mayor Tom Deline had had a conversation, and

board. session “to deal with two matters subthey may have a solution.

Bancroft and Antoski were con- On June 8, the agenda for Centre ject to solicitor-client privilege,” the cerned there is no longer an arena Hastings council includes a closed arena and the medical centre.

Kiwanis chicken BBQ lights up west-end Belleville

By Stephen Petrick Belleville – Mmmmm … chicken.

Members of the Belleville Kiwanis Club are responsible for people in the west end saying that on at least one spring day every year.

The annual Kiwanis BBQ Chicken event returned on Wednesday, June 1. Kiwanis members, with help from volunteers and several businesses, cooked about 1,730 birds over a large pit outside the Quinte Curling Club on Bridge Street West.

The massive BBQ, a tradition that’s taken place for 36 years, sends smoke into the air and the smell often wafts through the west end, leading to great sales.

“Everyone loves the taste of barbecue chicken,” said Jeff Tureski, president of the club.

People who paid $12 in advance got a half chicken with a baked potato and salad. The cost was $15 at the door.

Tureski said the event is the Kiwanis Club’s biggest fundraiser of the year. He was expecting the barbecue to raise about $13,500 this year – money the club will use on community programs, particularly programs that impact youth.

The club has had talks about supporting a new mountain bike park being planned for West Riverside Park, Tureski said, so the funds may impact that project.

Tureski said the chicken barbecue is a great event because it’s outdoors Cody Rizzo (right) and Jordan Wilson turn over chicken that was grilling on and it gives the club exposure, as it a pit outside the Quinte Curling Club on Wednesday, June 1. It was the Kihopes to bring in new members. wanis Club’s annual BBQ Chicken event. Photo by Stephen Petrick

Westben hospitality co-ordinator honoured for her years of service

By John Campbell Campbellford – How’s this for gratitude: After serving 16 years as volunteer hospitality coordinator for Westben Festival Arts Theatre, Katherine Cochrane was given the boot by the theatre’s co-founder Brian Finley .

In front of her fellow volunteers. To Cochrane’s delight.

Finley’s gag gift, a container for holding flowers, was his humourous way of thanking her for all the work she did organizing meals for the many artists who come from around the world to perform at The Barn every summer.

“It‘s amazing what this woman has done,” he said.

Dubbed “the queen of the Westben kitchen” and “a force to be reckoned with” by Sandy Robertson, one of the theatre‘s two volunteer co-ordinators, Cochrane thanked Finley and his wife Donna Bennett for giving her the opportunity to be part of a “wonderful, warm, loving, zany group of people.”

It‘s been “a fun ride” and the community “has been enriched” by the couple‘s realization of their shared dream to provide “the finest entertainment around,” she added.

Cochrane, who‘s 74, said she “will continue to volunteer with whatever,” but no longer as hospitality co-ordinator which she explained in an interview was “getting to be too much” for her to

handle any longer.

Robertson said Cochrane co-ordinated the servers and cooks who provided the food along with her, and she helped planned the menu.

“Katherine never lost her cool, she always dealt with everything with grace and good humour, she was a stalwart,” she said.

Cochrane, who also performed in productions, said being in charge of a collective effort to feed small and large groups of artists “was always a challenge but [she] just loved doing it.”

“I‘m sorry I can‘t do it anymore,” she said.

“I‘ve had some health issues that popped up, so I wouldn‘t have been able to do it this year anyway.”

Cochrane was one of 30 volunteers honoured for their years of service at a special reception held at the Clock Tower Cultural Centre, with Marilyn Keene having contributed the most over the years, 3,000 hours.

“We couldn‘t survive without the volunteers,” Bennett said. “It wouldn‘t work financially,” if the theatre couldn‘t rely on people to provide the manpower it needs, at no cost to the non-profit organization.

Their duties include serving as ushers, taking tickets, catering, looking after parking, giving out programs, working backstage, handling sound and lighting, and cleaning The Barn.

Bennett said Westben has 250 volunteers on its list, with 15 to 20 working each concert.

“It‘s like a family,” she said.

Katherine Cochrane took getting the boot as Westben’s hospitality co-ordinator rather well, breaking out in laughter, as theatre co-founder Brian Finley hoped she would. “I‘ve just so much enjoyed my relationship here with all these wonderful people,” Cochrane said afterwards. “Everybody is just terrific,” and Finley and his wife, Donna Bennett, are “really the nicest people.” Photo by John Campbell

Hastings Historical Society visits the Marble Arts Centre

Actinolite – Bonnie Marentette, a board member of the Tweed and Area Arts Council, served as tour guide when the Hastings County Historical Society visited the Marble Arts Centre in Actinolite this month. Led by Bill Hunt, coorganizer of the bus tour, about 50 passengers disembarked from a highway coach to enter the former church, now an arts centre and theatre operated by TAAC. This is the first year the Historical Society has visited the MAC, said Marentette. Tour members are not necessarily members of the historical society, Marentette explains, “just anyone who wanted to buy a ticket to be on the bus.

“They called us, asked could they do a tour and we said ‘of course, what better way to sell the building and promote what we’re doing here?’”

The Marble Church has a long and interesting history and is unique in being the only church in Canada built of white marble, quarried

several hundred feet away to the north-east. “The community hall [across the road] which originally was one of the schools, is also from the same marble,” Marentette reported.

“The church was built between 1864 and 1866,” noted Marentette.

The church burned down on May 24, 1869, along with the majority of Bridgewater, as Actinolite was then known. At the time of the fire most of the town’s residents were in Madoc celebrating Queen Victoria’s birthday.

Today the interior of the MAC has been fitted with comfortable theatre seating, air conditioning, a sound system and a proscenium stage which has seen numerous performances.

Warming to the opportunity to share her enthusiasm for the Marble Church with a crowd, Marentette remarked, “I’ll tell them come on in, get comfortable, then I’ll do my little spiel and then I’ll tell them Bonnie Marentette, a board member of the Tweed and Area Arts Council, addresses a tour sponsored by the Hastings County Historical Society at the there’s washrooms out back and Marble Arts Centre. Built as a church between 1864 and 1866, the ‘Marble Church’ is believed to be the only church in Canada built of white marble. feel free to ring the bell and sign the Photo by Brett Mann guest book when they’re leaving.”

Belleville Theatre Guild captures the magic of “The Music Man”

By Terry McNamee Belleville—If you have a couple of hours to spare in the next week or two, here’s a great way to spend it: see the Belleville Theatre Guild’s production of “The Music Man”. In a word, it is delightful.

The musical tells the story of a film-flam man who calls himself Professor Harold Hill coming to a dusty little town in Iowa in 1912, hoping to fleece the residents out of their cash by telling them that their town is in trouble. He persuades them that the only way to save their boys from — gasp! —playing pool (which, he says, will lead them into gambling, smoking and who knows what other evils) is to create a boys’ band. And he is just the one to arrange for that to happen.

In no time, townsfolk are signing up to buy instruments, uniforms and instruction books for their sons, while Hill plans a quick exit as soon as those items arrive. But Marian the Librarian sees through him, and does everything she can to thwart him. Needless to say, things do not go as planned for either of them, but the journey is marked by some of the most memorable songs ever written for a Broadway play — ‘Til There Was You, Gary Indiana, (Ya Got) Trouble and, of course, SeventySix Trombones.

When dealing with Meredith Willson’s beloved musical, casting absolutely crucial, and the BTG

got it perfect with every role, with a cast ranging in age from 8 to 80-something.

Prof. Hill is played to perfection by Timothy Fransky, who manages to show the innate good inside the character of a sneaky travelling salesman.

Sally McCrae as Marian Paroo the librarian is the best singer in the show, and fearlessly takes on the signature songs made famous by actress Shirley Jones. Fransky and McCrae play off each other marvelously well, especially in the “Marian the Librarian” scene with the town’s teenagers aiding and abetting Hill’s courtship of Marian.

Special mention must go to the two youngsters portraying Winthrop, Marian’s little brother. Kael Mestre and Max Archer share the role. Archer performed as Winthrop on opening night, and did a great job, especially in his big number of Gary, Indiana, while Dallin Whitford was wonderful as Tommy Djilas, the town’s “bad boy”. As for the rest of the cast of 40, from the town’s children to the ladies to the barbershop quartet, from the pit band to all the people behind the scenes, there is simply no weak link in this production.

The Music Man, produced by Liz Marshall and directed by David Kidd, runs until June 18 at the Pinnacle Playhouse, 256 Pinnacle St., Belleville.

New director of Poverty Roundtable has wealth of experience

By Stephen Petrick Belleville – A woman hired to lead the fight against poverty in the region has an incredible resume, with experience working on social projects in Europe and Africa.

Christine Durant is the new director of the Hastings Prince Edward Poverty Roundtable.

Durant will lead an initiative to address poverty by building on collaborations between various social agencies across the two counties.

The new initiative “Creating Communities” is a three-year project funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation.

The Poverty Roundtable (PRT) was established in 2013 to see what could be done, or done differently to address poverty in our region.

Members of the roundtable meet regularly throughout the year and at the last meeting, on Wednesday, June 1 at the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre, Durant was

introduced to the group.

“I’m glad to come home … to work on sustainable change,” said Durant, who was born and raised in the Quinte region.

Details of Durant’s working past were revealed to the group.

She has more than 20 years of experience working as an educator, community organizer and development consultant in Canada, Germany, and Malawi and holds a Masters in adult education with specialization in community development.

There are currently nearly 180 organizations and individuals across Hastings and Prince Edward counties committed to working with the PRT to reduce poverty. New members are always welcome.

More information about the Roundtable can be found on our website: www.povertyroundtablehpe.ca .

Durant’s office will be located out of the Community Development Council of Quinte’s location at 65 Station St., Belleville.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Get ready for the Gaetane Harvey Memorial Walk

Dear Editor My name is Lisa McAuley. My Mother Gaetane Harvey passed away on January 30, 2006 after a brief but hard fought battle against breast cancer. Her passing fuelled my passion to fundraise. And after many years of participating in various events I decided to create my own event in memory of my Mom. The Gaetane Harvey Memorial Walk is a 53km walk throughout the streets of Belleville over the course of two days. This year’s walk will take place on the 24th and 25th of September. We will walk 1 kilometre for each year this earth was blessed with my mother’s love, laughter and kindness. The goal is to raise $15,000 for the Belleville General Hospital Foundation’s Cancer Care Campaign.

But the walk isn’t just about her, as walkers register they bring their own stories; of loved ones lost, people in the midst of fighting this terrible disease and the joys of knowing a cancer survivor. The walk has become so much more and although my mom’s memory is at the heart of it, it has bloomed into something bigger. It is about a community of people coming together, strangers becoming friends, feet on pavement, kilometers logged, funds raised and making a difference no matter how big or small.

When I began planning and organizing the first B4

Section B - Thursday, June 9, 2016

ever Gaetane Harvey Memorial Walk I thought it would be my sisters and I walking alongside a few friends. But it just naturally grew on its own. Last year was our first year and we had 14 walkers registered. Together we raised close to $9,000.

This year I would love to have 30 to 40 walkers! Registration will close at the end of June or when I reach 40 walkers. I need your help! I need to get the Gaetane Harvey Memorial Walk noticed to get the word out to our community.

Please help me spread the news about this 53km journey.

And as I said to last years walkers, 53 km is no easy feat ... fighting cancer never is. So, take it one step at a time, one donation at a time and know that you are making a difference.

People can register at bghf.ca (we are under the events section), they can also email me at geesgirls@hotmail.com for more information or like our Facebook page. Details on the routes will be made public later on.

Thank you so much for your time, I look forward to hearing how you can help make the Gaetane Harvey Memorial Walk a huge success for 2016.

the real ‘star’ of this park, of course, for it’s the highest peak in North America (at 20,237 feet/6,168 m above sea level). It can even be argued that it’s the tallest vertical rise of any mountain peak in the world, for it begins much closer to sea level at its base than such higher mountains as Mount Everest. Mount Denali’s base to peak rise is about 18,000 feet/5,500 metres. I saw that it actually has two significant summits, with the South Summit being its highest.

I also learned that Fly Denali often assists avid mountain climbers, trekkers, and sky divers by getting them to the Kahiltna Base Camp in the Alaska Range, in preparation for their particular extreme sport/endeavour.

I previously stated that there was yet another top event on my particular flight, and that was, of course, the spectacular glacier landing itself!

Just imagine the thrill of suddenly descending amid all those mountain peaks, after having just seen the highest mountain peak of all, and then having the powerful de Havilland

Turbine Beaver ski plane suddenly land and skid to a stop on a field of ice and snow. What a sled ride! We passengers then emerged from the plane and began to explore on foot.

One individual even decided to make and throw a snowball! Most of us just stood in awe, breathed in the cool, fresh air, snapped a plethora of photos, and marvelled at the stunning scenery that surrounded us! We’d stepped into the Ice Age! We soon enough had to re-board the plane and return to the airport in Healy. Jim then drove me back to my accommodations, and we talked along the way. I learned that when the weather cooperates, there are scheduled flights at 8:30 a.m., noon, 3:15 p.m., and 6:15 p.m. I also learned that this extraordinary glacier landing adventure trek in Denali is said to be a “once in a lifetime experience” that this company offers on a daily basis: “We do once-in-a-lifetime every day.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Guilty until proven innocent?

Dear Mr. Malette: I just finished reading your editorial about “online creeps” needing outing, and I must say that I am disappointed with your writing. I usually like your writing very much, but it is unworthy of you and of the Belleville News to use the language you used.

Please don’t misunderstand - I believe that people arrested for child porn charges should be publicly named as much as you do. But I also

believe that they, like every other person arrested and charged with a crime, are innocent until proven guilty. Your sentence “... that snared so many online child porn creeps - sorry, alleged child porn creeps”, is playing word games at its worst.

Your “guilty-until-proven-innocent” attitude has lost you some of my respect.
