Quinte West grants 8 Wing Freedom of the City By Ross Lees An 85-year-old relationship was celebrated last Friday afternoon when the City of Quinte West opened its arms wide and invited 8 Wing/Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Trenton to have the Freedom of the City. The ceremony relates back to medieval Europe when armies marauded the land and made cities very unsafe so that they created walls. It was considered an extreme gesture of friendship between a community and a military to allow them inside the city and grant them freedom of the city, according to 8 Wing Commander Colonel Colin Keiver. He brought that history back into play Friday afternoon when he marched a contingent of 150 troops to the Quinte West municipal building and forcibly knocked on the door. Mayor Jim Harrison quickly answered the door and granted Col. Keiver and his troops the freedom they requested after inspecting the troops. “There is no better gesture from a military perspective,” stated Col. Keiver. “It is the highest honour we can grant to a community. “When it comes to Quinte
West, it’s a very special relationship that 8 wing and Trenton has,” he said. “The base has been here for 85 years and the level of support we get from this community is exceptional.” Col. Colin Keiver leads his troops through the City of Quinte Col.

Trenton – Our TMH, Quinte West’s Trenton Memorial Hospital (TMH) advocacy group, has put a pause on taking legal action to protect services at TMH at this time while the group waits for expected announcements in the upcoming weeks. “We are using legal action as the final last resort, we want to exhaust every other opportunity,” said Our TMH co-chair Mike Cowan during the committee’s meeting on Tue. June 14. “We want to take every other opportunity rather than the legal option but if we’re forced to legal option we will do it.” Cowan said they are anticipating some announcements to be made in the next couple of weeks and want to hear them before they decide to retain a lawyer.

Trenchtown Wake Park gearing up for grand opening By Erin Stewart Trenton – The newest addition to Trenton’s Centennial Park and waterfront is almost ready to be unveiled. Trenchtown Wake Park is in the final stages of construction and owners Niko Horning and Will McLaird said they feel great being able to open the wakeboarding park in their hometown. “It’s awesome, we grew up here and lets be real, there’s not much to do,� said Horning. “We know what it’s like growing up here and we know that you have to reach for certain things,� said McLaird. “This is something different, more of a variety for people to do and it just creates so much more access to a sport we both really enjoy and want to have many more people out and doing it.� Located at the old Trenton marina by the Duncan Memorial Arena, Trenchtown Wake Park is set up with the system 2.0 Sesitec. There are two
continuous cables, one shorter cable for beginners and the second cable for more advanced wakeboarders. The system uses a variable frequency drive motor so the speed can be adjusted for skill level and weight. McLaird said it’s the easiest way to learn how to wakeboard. “It lets you hone your skills for competitions and things like that, the professional riders and even the amateurs all start out generally on cable these days and it’s just because it’s cheaper and you don’t waste as much time,� said Honing. Honing and McLaird said they are expecting to attract many wakeboarders throughout the region because they are the only wake park in the area. They closest wake park is north of Toronto, around two hours away. McLaird knows from experience that many wakeboarders will travel to train on cables, “just to ride I would drive six hours, ride for an hour or two, and then six hours back,� he said.

OPINION
Brexit: The long, loud silence Parliament met in London Monday, so that MPs of every party could express their horror and disgust at the murder last Thursday of their colleague Jo Cox, MP for Batley and Spen in West Yorkshire. And on Monday everybody did, including leaders of the Gwynne Dyer the Brexit campaign, Boris Johnson and Michael Gove. But here’s the odd thing: up to that point, the Brexit leaders had said nothing about it. Nothing. Not a word, for more than three days. The political campaign for the referendum next Thursday on Britain’s continued membership in the European Union was immediately suspended for two days after Cox’s murder, but other politicians didn’t go to ground like Johson, Gove and their friends. Prime Minister David Cameron, the leader of Johnson and Gove’s own Conservative Party, Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, and a host of their fellow members of parliament gathered in Parliament Square on Friday to light candles and lay flowers in tribute to the slain MP, but the Brexit leaders were conspicuous by their absence. Cameron, Corbyn and many other senior politicians went on TV to condemn what had happened, but Johnson, Gove and their rather embarrassing ally Nigel Farage, the leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), did not (and you may be sure that they were asked to – that’s what journalists do). They simply vanished from public view, without so much as a ritual statement that their “thoughts and prayers” were with Jo Cox’s family. There are only two possible explanations for this curious non-event. One is that space aliens abducted Johnson, Gove and Farage on Thursday for their usual nefarious purposes, and returned them to Earth on Sunday with their memories wiped clean of anal probes (for otherwise they would surely have mentioned it). The other is that their media advisers told them that the only safe course was to say nothing. The Brexiteers were in a difficult position, because Jo Cox was a high-profile campaigner for Remain, the campaign urging Britons to stay in the EU, and the man who killed her, Tommy Mair, was clearly of the opposite persuasion. As he shot and stabbed her, according to eyewitnesses, he was shouting “Britain first” or “Put Britain first.” His motive became even clearer on Saturday, when he was brought before a judge to
be charged. Asked to state his name, he replied that it is “Death to Traitors, Freedom for Britain.” The second half of this slogan is, of course, at the heart of the “Leave” campaign’s argument for Brexit. Obviously Boris Johnson, Michael Gove and Nigel Farage knew nothing about Mair’s intentions, nor approved of them in any way. But people could reasonably argue that the increasingly nasty tone of the “Leave” campaign may have served as a trigger for Mair’s crime. In the early stages of the campaign, the debate was mostly about the relative economic advantages of leaving or staying in the EU, but the “Leave” side clearly lost that argument, and shifted the debate instead onto the hot-button topic of immigration. This involved a good deal of lying, like the ridiculous Leave claim that Turkey was shortly going to become an EU member, giving 70 million Turks the right to move to Britain. (Turkey has no realistic chance of becoming an EU member in the foreseeable future, and if it ever did fulfill the entrance requirements, Britain could simply veto it.) The dog-whistle racism of Leave’s anti-immigration campaign was at its worst in a poster that UKIP’s Nigel Farage unveiled just two hours before Cox was murdered, showing an endless column of young men of Middle Eastern appearance marching into Europe and captioned “Breaking Point”. In other words, quit the EU or Britain too will be drowned in a sea of Muslim fake refugees. The poster was immediately condemned even by Farage’s allies (Michael Gove said he “shuddered” when he saw it) but Gove did NOT go on to say that Middle Eastern refugees who are let in by other EU countries do not gain the right to enter Britain. To admit that would undermine the whole anti-immigrant strategy of the Leave campaign. That’s something Gove didn’t want to be questioned on. All the more, did he not want to be questioned on possible causal links between the Leave campaign’s general strategy of claiming that the British people are enslaved by faceless “EU bureaucrats in Brussels” and Mair’s cry of “Freedom for Britain.” Neither did any of his Leave colleagues. So the Brexit leaders took their media managers’ advice and hid themselves away after the assassination of Jo Cox. When Tommy Mair gave his name as “Death to Traitors, Freedom for Britain” in court on Saturday, they hid for another day, fearing guilt by association. Now they are back out in the open, hoping nobody noticed their absence. And maybe they didn’t, because the British media certainly abstained from comment on it. But it is also possible that quite a few ordinary voters did notice it, and drew their own conclusions from it. We’ll find out on Friday.
Our own neighbourhood toxic horror Editorial - Chris Malette Some who have been reading or watching news lately will know that the Grassy Narrows area north of Kenora is in the news and in trouble, again. Recent reports have shown monstrously high levels of mercury in fish and in the rivers in the area, a toxic legacy of a century-old pulp mill. The Toronto Star Monday followed up with an exclusive report that was shocking in what it revealed – mill workers were routinely dumping barrels of mercury and waste into disposal pits at the mill site as late as the1970s. From the report: An email written by Kas Glowacki went to the Grassy Narrows chief last August, who sent it to the environment ministry. “I was amazed at the amount of mercury that was pooling around my shovel as I dumped it into the drums,” wrote Glowacki, who said he worked at the Dryden Paper mill in 1972. Glowacki, now living in Alberta, was essentially told by the environment ministry there was nothing to be concerned about. “We filled I would say approximately 50+ drums of the salt and mercury mixture,” Glowacki’s email report read. One need not get too smug or over-confident about the safety of many of our own waterways and wetlands in the Quinte, Centre Hastings and North Hastings regions. Take the Deloro site on Highway 7 between Madoc and Marmora. The Canadian Mining Journal reported on the work done by Golder Associates to clean up the site in recent years. “Golder’s role as General Contractor (2011-2013) included installing over 26 hectares of geosynthetics, 300,000 tonnes of fill material and planting more than 10,000 poplar trees at the large tailings area. At the industrial mining area, contaminated wastes were collected and re-vegetation planned,” reported the journal. Having covered the early years of the cleanup and the studies to identify impacts of the arsenic and other toxic residues and stockpiles left on the site, I can tell you people downstream were and remain worried about that toxic legacy. There were sediment tests done in Moira Lake and the Moira River, downstream from Deloro, that showed traces of arsenic in the lake and river bottoms. There were even samples that showed arsenic suspected to have travelled downstream in the Moira all the way to the mouth of the river. In the
1980s, sediment samples showed arsenic in the river mouth sediment at Belleville. It should be noted, the provincial health ministry has determined it is safe to eat fish from the lake, the river and the Bay of Quinte, as it is also safe to swim in those waters. As noted in the Canadian Miner Journal’s February-March issue of 2015, “Nearly a century’s worth of hazardous by-products and residues - a complex blend of toxic compounds; metals like cobalt, copper, nickel; and low-level radioactive wastes (were left on the site). Each of these materials causing significant environmental impact at the site, including contamination of the site’s soil, sediment, surface water and groundwater, posing a potential threat to nearby communities and watercourses. At Deloro, the remediation, apart from removing all traces of the former mill buildings and works, largely is about burying the tailings and sealing it off to ensure no more arsenic or other hazardous materials run off into the Moira River or nearby watercourses. The ministry’s progress report at Deloro shows there have been great strides made in cleaning up the site and stemming the steady tide of arsenic running off into the river. But, as the reports show, it’s not fully contained. Before (an arsenic-removing water treatment) plant started in 1983, about 52 kilograms of arsenic were going into Moira River each day. In 2015, the plant stopped nearly 2.5 tonnes of arsenic from going into the Moira River in one year. “Arsenic going into the Moira River is down by 80 per cent,” said the report. But, the toxic legacy still puts arsenic and other contaminants into the river and nearby Young’s Creek, despite the best efforts of the governmentmandated cleanup. There are examples of Grassy Narrows and Deloro all across the country, unfortunately. They are the deadly hangover from an era when little thought was given, little knowledge was had and little care was taken in protecting the environment in the quest for mineral wealth. Next time someone complains about restrictive regulations imposed on industry, mining and lumber sectors for pollution control and they call the likes of David Suzuki a tree-hugger and a froglicker, remind them of Grassy Narrows and our own Deloro.

Quinte West Relay for Life raises over $64,000 By Erin Stewart

confident bringing their loved ones here. At the end of each day I rest easy knowing that I’ve made a difference in someone’s life.
Trenton – With over 300 participants and 31 teams walking at this year’s Quinte West Relay for Life, donations rolled in and totalled $64,035 to support Canada’s fight against cancer. Participants walked in the sunny afternoon on Sat. June 18 from noon until midnight during the 12-hour event at Trenton High School. “We’re so happy with how the event went and there was just so much excitement there and the energy was so positive,” said Brad Warner, fundraising co-ordinator for the Hastings Prince Edward and Brighton unit of the Canadian Cancer Society. “Our goal was $60,000, so not only did we raise more than our goal, we really did have an awesome event, we had really great feedback from all of the participants,” said Warner. 8 Wing CFB Trenton Base Commander Col. Colin Keiver spoke to the participants during the opening ceremonies and said it’s great to see so many people giving back to the community and supporting a great cause. “It’s awesome to give back to a community that gives so much to us, 85 years ago the Royal Canadian Air Force decided to call this place home and home it is today and it is home today because of this great community,” he said. On a personal note, Keiver said it was very important for himself and his wife Jennifer to be at Relay for Life. “Because it was almost four years ago today that we sat in a neurosurgeon’s office in Kingston and were told that our 10-year-old son had a brain tumour,” said Keiver. “His operation was on the 12th of November 2012, we watched him
play his first hockey game again on the 12th of February 2012, which is amazing.” Keiver said his son is doing exceptionally well and it’s because of events like Relay for Life. “These things are so important because without the funding in the background, that technology and that science and that medicine does not exist to make people like our son and your father and your brother and your mother, all of your family members, better and beat this thing called cancer,” he said. “It affects everyone equally and it’s a horrible, horrible disease that together we can beat if we keep trying,” Teresa Bell was the survivor speaker at this year’s event. Bell was one of the two Canadians to recently receive the Canadian Cancer Society’s National Medal of Courage. Bell is still fighting cancer herself and spoke to the relay participants about her journey and how everyone has their own survivor story. “I choose to step into this part of the path of my life, with my hands open to receive all that it has to give,” she said. “I have the strength to do that, I have the strength to smile and look and see the gifts around me, I will continue to win because I do not let cancer take anything from me but a little bit of my body and, my body, it’s a very small part of who I am.” “I’m a survivor because I have chosen to love my life,” said Bell. “You all have different stories, all important and rich in their own way, many of you have moved on from your cancer diagnosis… you all have your own survivor story, what does survivor mean to you?”

Quinte West council supports new OPP facility
SPRING INTO SUMMER SALE!
By Erin Stewart
TICO#50007364
Trenton – Quinte West city council approved a number of motions to move forward with their support of a new OPP facility during the city council meeting at city hall on Mon. June 20. Council passed the motion approving that they support in principle the construction of the new facility and also Infrastructure Ontario’s option for a turnkey building solution. In the turnkey option, the municipality would retain the land and build the building in the proposed site that has already been approved by the OPP beside the existing OPP station. The new facility is estimated to cost around $10.1 million. Clazie said the turnkey option has a big advantage because it moves the timeframe for a new building up significantly. “With option three (turnkey building) we could be looking at a new building in the next couple of years,” said Clazie. “Option one or option two we are looking at least five, possibly 10 years or more until we can get a new facility built.” Clazie said the current OPP facility is in need of significant investment, which the majority can be avoided if the new facility is built in the next couple of years. Council also passed the motion to work with Infrastructure Ontario and the OPP to provide any additional information they require in order for the project to forward. The construction of a new OPP facility has been in the city’s long-term capital plan and is currently slated to start construction in 2018 after the completion of Fire Station #1.

Hugh O’Neil Friendship Garden fundraising begins By Erin Stewart Trenton – Now comes the hard part. With approval now done for the location of the Hugh O’Neil Friendship Garden near Trent Port Marina, fundraising is set to begin. “We’re looking at approaching all of the
service clubs, various organizations, and just individuals in general because, as you know, Mr. O’Neil was Mr. Quinte and he touched so many people at all levels, no donation is too small,” said Quinte West Coun. Duncan Armstrong, co-chair of the fundraising committee with Quinte West’s former mayor John
Hugh O’Neil Friendship Garden committee members are now in the fundraising process for the garden and said they hope to have shovels in the ground in the fall. From left: Duncan Armstrong, Don O’Neill, Dave O’Neil, Donna O’Neil, Norah Buckley and Wayne Garrison. Photo by Erin Stewart

Williams. Armstrong said they are estimating the cost of the garden to be about $50,000 but they will have a better idea of the cost once the design has been finalized. Donations can be addressed to the Hugh O’Neil Friendship Garden P.O. Box 427 Trenton, ON K8V 5R6. Williams said he thinks the garden’s location couldn’t be a better, next to the Trent Port Marina and Roy Bonisteel Tribute Garden. “I think it’s a great tribute to a man who contributed so much to the area, not just in politics – which he did for 20 years – but it’s what he did since politics,” said Williams. “All of the volunteering, committees, all the things he helped with in the area… so I think it’s both what he did as a politician and what he did since then which is contribute a lot.” The committee is hoping to have the fundraising finished by the end of the summer so construction for the project can begin in the fall. Donna O’Neil said she feels grateful people in the community support the garden to honour her late husband.
“I’m incredibly indebted to people, that they would dedicate their ideas, their time, their efforts, to do something like this, it’s awesome,” said Donna O’Neil. O’Neil said she is consulting with the architect on design ideas at the moment and she is looking forward to seeing the garden complete “It’s going to be very, very moving I know,” she said. “I just can’t say enough about the people who came up with the idea and who give their time and effort to make it happen.” Design ideas 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 erect Hugh O’Neil “life chapter plaques” so people can read, in small chapters, his story around the garden. The committee is also hoping to use the same stone used in the construction of the Ontario Legislature Building – pink/red sandstone - as a medium with which symbolize Hugh’s 20 years of service as an MPP.

Canadian MFRCs seeking inclusion in defence policy By Ross Lees Military Family Resource Centres (MFRCs) are coming of age and they feel it’s time governments started to take notice. Thirty-two MFRCs across Canada have signed on to a brief entitled “Without family, there is no future,” which is being submitted to the Department of National Defence (DND) as part of the public
consultation on the future of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). This kind of nation-wide consensus has never happened before, according to Trenton MFRC executive director Tamara Kleinschmidt, which really highlights the importance of the aim of this document – to get military families included in government defence policy documents in the future. “Right now, we’re in a situation
where each successive government chooses whether or not to support military families,” stated Kleinschmidt. “Current and recent governments have acknowledged they see the importance of continuing that family support system because it is imperative to meeting our national and international objectives in regards to defence, but that can change at any time.” Four recommendations came from the week-long discussions that went into establishing the document. The 32 MFRCs recommend that military families be included in the next defence policy as an integral and essential part of the mission of the CAF, the CAF officially recognize MFRCs as being the official service providers for military fami-

lies, the CAF signal the commitment of Defence toward military families by means of specific actions like the creation of dedicated programs or the injection of additional funds coming from various government ministries and institutions, and that the CAF develop through the implantation of an intergovernmental cell, a strategy related to the support and to issues facing military families and to see to its adoption and signing by the Prime Minister, federal ministers and the provincial premiers in order that military families may receive support by all levels of government. Recognition of MFRCs was included in the recommendations because there are many non-profit organizations popping up to service veterans and military families and there is potential for this area to become muddy, according to Kleinschmidt. “You could EVENING OF have a very fractured set of services with funding going all different places, so we want the statement that

MFRCs are the service providers for military families,” she indicated. “We need to be entrenched at this point because Treasury Board could determine tomorrow that it’s no longer necessary to support military families.” Consensus on the issue was quickly arrived at by all 32 MFRCs across Canada, something that has never happened before,” Kleinschmidt noted. Because service requirements vary so much from base to base and area to area, there is seldom total agreement. “Agreement on this issue came within a half a day and we went very quickly from ‘should we?’ to ‘how will we,’” Kleinschmidt said. She sees this document as an indication of a strong national voice of all 32 MFRCs and part of their maturing process. The document also indicates what’s going on in other countries and Kleinschmidt says Canada is falling back in the race, now trailing Australia and the United Kingdom. “This document demonstrates how we can get back to where we should be and I’m really thrilled to be a part of it,” she said. “It’s perfect timing for the level of engagement the government is asking for with regards to veterans programs.”

Belleville area powerlifting Special Olympians bring home hardware By Erin Stewart Trenton – Special Olympics Ontario powerlifting athletes from Belleville and Shannonville brought home numerous medals after competing in the Special Olympics Ontario Provincial Spring Games May 26-28 in Guelph. Special Olympics athlete Tim Maracle said he has been powerlifting for two years now and competing at the spring games was a good experience. “It was a lot of fun, everyone was
friendly,” he said. “I train a lot, I enjoy powerlifting, it helps me build muscle.” Maracle won bronze in deadlift, lifting 152.2 kg, and his teammates also won a number of medals. Cecil Tinney won a silver medal in back squat, squatting 95 kg, and another silver medal for his 127.5 kg deadlift. “I didn’t know what to expect,” Tinney said after competing in powerlifting for the first time. “I was a little nervous but I hung in there, it’s a real
good sport to get into, I like getting stronger.” Kai Freeland won bronze in bench press and Nicole Ferguson won three gold medals in deadlift (62.5 kg), bench press (25 kg) and back squat (35 kg). Local Special Olympics powerlifting athletes train every Friday evening with their coaches at CrossFit Trent in Trenton. Michelle Wallace, Special Olympics powerlifting coach and part owner of CrossFit Trent, said the past two years of coaching the local Special Olympics powerlifting team has been rewarding, especially after seeing four of their athletes compete at the Provincial Spring Games. “Watching them compete and stepping up to the plate has been amazing, once they hit that platform they turn it on,” she said. “They are very happy people and they make us happy, you just leave with a smile.” Wallace said the group had an amazing time in Guelph and it was like a reunion for many athletes

New soccer field and baseball diamond under construction at Centennial Park By Erin Stewart Trenton – Centennial Park is a busy place this summer and not just because of the many sports and activities always on the go. A new soccer field and full size baseball diamond are currently under construction at the park. Work on the new soccer field, located beside field one where the old ball diamond was, started at the beginning of June. Chris Angelo, director of public works and environmental services, said they are hoping to have the field ready by the end of July for the Quinte West Soccer Club’s Cameron Memorial Tournament. “We hope to have the field up and running by then, a lot of it will depend on the weather and how fast the grass takes, if we are successful at getting the grass done quick enough,” said An-
gelo. The new field will include bleachers, underground drainage tiles, irrigation and underground electrical conduits for future lighting of the field. Angelo said the smaller baseball diamond that used to be located where the new soccer field is going wasn’t the most appropriate location. The diamond is now being replaced with a full size diamond next to the Don Ogden field. Angelo said the new diamond currently under construction will have a boulder retaining wall unique to the Quinte West area where participants and spectators can sit to watch the game. “It fits nicely into the landscape features of the existing park,” he said. “We wanted to leave the existing features in place and work around them with the new concept plan.” The diamond is due to be complete mid-August and Angelo said they will need to make sure ev-

erything is well stabilized before anyone plays on the diamond. Between the new soccer field and baseball diamond, the two projects total roughly $850,000 from Quinte West’s capital budget. These two projects are part of the first phase in the 10-year Centennial Park master plan. City council identified a need for “a long-term strategy that would focus on improvements to the entire park, not only for active but passive plays and improvements to parking lots and road networks,” said Angelo. After a public consultation period and speaking with user groups, city staff put together a priority listing over 10 years. “Centennial Park is really a vital aspect of all of Quinte West,” said Angelo. “It has many features for active play for children but it also balances off the needs for special events and other activities

happening in the park.” The future plans for Centennial Park look at adding more trees, a canopy to the amphitheatre, redevelopment of existing parking lots, additional streetlamps, a possible turf field and Angelo said adding more trail linkages and paved trails is a high on the priority list. “Council seems to be very favourable on active transportation and the addition of trails,” he said. “We are looking at an active transportation network between Centennial Park and Bain Park, connecting the two with a paved trail along the water and in addition we’re looking at additional paved trails by the Trent Port Marina to County Road 64.” Angelo said funding for paved trails and additional improvements to Centennial Park will be discussed at next year’s capital budget deliberations.

Carson’s wish is about to come true – and now he’s going to help another By Stephen Petrick Foxboro – Carson McKenna’s wish is about to come true. And now his family and friends are paying it forward, so that another child battling a life-threatening illness can benefit from Make-A-Wish. The McKenna family gathered with employees of the County Bus Service in Foxboro on Wednesday, June 15 to celebrate funds raised through a recent yard sale and raffle. The event, on May 28 at the bus depot on Ashley Street, raised $11,136, with significant help from a roughly $4,500 donation from employees
of Highway 2 business Rose Scale (where Carson’s uncle works). The McKenna family is connected to the Bus Depot business through Carson’s grandmother, Judy. Judy and Carson’s mother Cara, as well as several other employees at the County Bus Service, often hold a fundraising breakfast once a year. This year, they decided to do a yard sale to raise funds for Make-A-Wish, a charity that raises funds to grant wishes and enrich life experiences for children facing life-threatening illnesses. They chose to fundraise for that organization, because Carson recently
qualified to have his wish fulfilled. The family is set to go to Disney World this fall and stay at a special resort as part of a tour package called Give Kids the World. The funds raised on May 28 don’t actually fund Carson’s trip; they allow Make-A-Wish to send another child on a similar adventure. The fact that the McKenna family and friends were able to raise those funds absolutely thrilled Janet-Lee Ferris, a fund development manager from Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario who travelled from Ottawa to pick up the cheque and thank the people behind it.
“I’ve never heard of a garage sale and a community coming together like this. It’s vital to have community support like this,” she said, noting that Make-A-Wish does not receive government funding, and all its programs are supported by fundraisers. Those involved in the yard sale told stories about how people came out to purchase items that were being sold for 50 cents, but paid with $5 or $10 bills and said “keep the change.” The support is touching for Carson’s parents, Cara and Jeremy McKenna and Carson’s sister Olivia. Carson, at eight years old, has lived most of his life with cancer. He has
brain tumours, his family explained, and he’s been battling them since about age 2. The family travels to Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto, where doctors monitor Carson closely. “Every month is different. Every week is different,” Cara said. Despite facing this challenge, Carson is an energetic boy. He attends Tyendinaga Public School and has a busy life. Following Wednesday’s event, he was off to a ball hockey game. He said when he goes to Disney World he hopes to do the rides and scuba dive.
With supporters in back, Carson McKenna says thanks to those who donated to a campaign to raise funds for Make-A-Wish. To his left is his sister Olivia and to the right is Janet-Lee Ferris of Make-A-Wish. Photo by Stephen Petrick
Quinte Innovation Showcase showcases entrepreneurial spirit By Stephen Petrick
Belleville – Passion, commitment and courage. Those are traits that many people who gathered for a special event in Belleville on Wednesday, June 15 had in common. Several well-known and emerging entrepreneurs gathered for the first ever Bay of Quinte Innovation Showcase. It was held at the former Nortel office complex, now the home of the Canadian Hybrid Innovation Resource Platform (CHIRP), at 250 Sidney St. The event allowed business people to hear inspiring speeches from both new and veteran entrepreneurs who have started business in the area. It also allowed them to hear about QuinteVation, a new organization to be based out of the CHRIP building that will runs programs and roundtables to foster business growth. After the formal presentations, business people mingled for hours in the building’s spectacular atrium. The event contributed to the optimism that seems to be flourishing in Belleville’s business community. The CHIRP concept, launched a year ago,
had been initially intended to be a place where international businesses can come and set up shop to test the North American market. But, the sprawling, modern facility also provides space for local home-grown businesses and it’s the home for Loyalist College’s Entrepreneurial Studies Business Launch program, taught by Bob Millard. Millard said Wednesday’s event was successful, as more than 100 people came out and got to see the CHIRP complex. It will, said Millard, hopefully soon be a place that’s a beehive of activity, with business people working together to fuel the Bay of Quinte economy. He said he hopes the building will appear to be in “chaos.” “Chaos is what attracts business,” he explained, noting that in some cases no walls will separate those working in the building. If the building is a noisy, busy place, it will inspire people to get working – and working together. “They collaborate,” Millard continued. Millard stressed that passion, commitment and courage are all traits that an entrepreneur needs to be successful. However, he also noted it’s important for business people to work together because when you’re an entrepreneur you’re going to
have good days and bad ones. On the bad days, the other people you work with can pick you up and give you that motivation to keep going. “You can’t do this on your own and you don’t want to try,” he said. One of the ESBL program’s recent graduates attended the event and told guests about her fitness business. Maria Calzado has launched a business called Mobile Fitness Innovations. It’s somewhat unique in that clients don’t have to go to her to train, she comes to them. She said the event was a great opportunity for her to network with other well-known entrepreneurs and she’s looking forward to gaining new clients in Belleville. She said having a business is like having a baby. “You have to let it grow up and you have to know when to let it go,” she said, with a smile. She agreed that an entrepreneur has to be passionate and she said one of the things she likes best about running her own business, is that she has the ability to control her goals and make adjustments to her business as she goes along – that’s something that an employee of a business cannot do. Her advice to other entrepreneurs is “never give up. No quitting.”

Warkworth studio launch showcases first CD release
By Sue Dickens
Warkworth – Wheatland Records is a new venture launched this month by Stephen Rapos and Dimitri Papatheodorou. These two accomplished musicians have made the Warkworth area their home and when they moved here they brought with them a real mix of talent and expertise. “We’ve been working on this for a year,” commented Papatheodorou. Rapos brings more than 30 years of experience in the music business as performer, composer and arranger. He has played with “many of the finest musicians in Canada” including a seven-year stint as bassist and arranger for Canadian singersongwriter Ron Sexsmith. Papatheodorou is a musician, visual artist and architect whose music moniker is D.PAPA_T., and he sings about the disparities in the world, gender and sexual identity, the environment and the ambiguities of love. Located at the home of Rapos, Wheatland Records is named after the historic 1851 stone farmhouse and is a studio which boasts a live performance room with seating for 40. This independent label is now showcasing their first release which
is available on iTunes and is called Fellow Traveller. The CD can also be streamed online on CBC Music. Fellow Traveller features the songwriting of D.PAPA_T. and the title track is a duet he signs with local music sensation Olivia Rapos, who can often be seen performing locally with her dad. Papatheodorou and Rapos agree that the record business has seen a lot of change recently. “There is very little business in the making of records unless you are a superstar, but there is a need for writing and recording and fostering new talent, and by new talent I don’t mean young people only,” Papatheodorou explained. “We have different skill sets to foster this, so we thought why not enhance the already existing music scene in Trent Hills,” he added. By pooling their resources the duo has set themselves up to further the talent of others. “We are open to receiving applications from other artists, artists that are performers, singers and artists that write,” Papatheodorou said. “We would like the venture to grow and be longterm.” The CD is available at Gary Wheatland Records is a new venture launched this month by accomplished musicians Stephen Rapos, left, and Dimitri Papatheodorou of Warkworth.

Drone demo in Stirling showed landowners how to view property from the air By Terry McNamee Stirling—A drone in the air can save landowners time and money when used as a tool to view a large property such as a farm or woodlot. During a special active learning day on Saturday, June 18, members of the Ontario Woodlot Association (Quinte Chapter) found out that a drone is a very different machine from the old-style remote controlled model aircraft. They visited Chris Droog’s farm in Stirling and learned just how effective a drone can be in seeing a large section of land in a short amount of time as Droog flew his quadcopter 500 feet over his farm. The machine makes so little noise that some animals simply ignore it, although some become somewhat alarmed by the low buzzing noise the drone makes, he said. Droog, a computer technician with considerable experience working with drone technology, also talked about the permits needed and legal restrictions on using drones. Prior to visiting the Droog farm, participants spent the morning at the Arts Centre Hastings in Madoc, where they heard a lecture by Nick January, Geographic Information System (GIS) coordinator for the County of Hastings. He demonstrated what a person can learn about one’s property by using the Hastings County Community Online Maps System. For more information about the Quinte Chapter of the Chris Droog (right) demonstrated how he uses a drone to see and videograph properties during a special gathering of the Quinte Chapter of the Ontario Woodlot Association at Ontario Woodlot Association, go to the group’s website at the Droog farm in Stirling on Saturday, June 18. ontariowoodlot.com/quinte-chapter.

Gordon Pitts chronicles history of Moira Lake By Diane Sherman Madoc - Canadian author Gordon Pitts, a retired Globe and Mail business columnist, set economics aside to pursue his passion for the history of Moira Lake, where his family settled 140 years ago. From his cottage at Pitts Landing, he began searching out descendants of the original families who settled around the lake. He accounts the history of the lake back to the 1600s and highlights three, First Nation residents, who left their legacy with lake dwellers, who shared childhood stories of their skills and compassion. First Nation settlers Henry Mitchell, Alec Francis and the mysterious, Queen Dido are all featured, along with some notorious characters,
mining magnates and a baron who started a fox farm, and documents those who were lost or drowned on the lake. After the passing of 96-yearold matriarch Reta Pitts in 2013, Gord, wife Elaine, sister Gayle and her husband Grant Ketcheson decided it was time to capture the stories before they were lost. “We realized we couldn’t lose any more history.” Pitts said some of the 95-100 contributors are now in their 90s, He took their stories and edited them, while Grant worked with the Moira Lake Property Owners Association (MLPOA) to track down people and historic photos. Gordon Pitts is scheduled to present the book at the Madoc library, July 9 at 11 a.m. There The family of Gordon Pitts settled on Moira Lake 140 years ago. The retired business columnist has compiled a history of the lake as told to him by over 90 contributors. He shares the book at the Madoc library on July 9. Photo by Diane Sherman will be copies on sale there.

Pickle ball open house in Hastings shows off growing sport By Bill Freeman Hastings – The fast-growing sport of pickle ball has found a home at the Hastings Field House, and the curious learned more about the racket sport during a special open house recently here. Already well-established in the United States, the sport, a mix of tennis, badminton and ping pong, has crossed the border and is putting down firm roots in Canada. Hastings resident Jill Lawless and her partner Jim are addicted to the sport, discovering it during winter trips to the southern United States, and they were thrilled to learn that the racket courts at the new Hastings Field House would include regulation pickle ball lines and that equipment would be available on site. She and Jim now play regularly with people who also enjoy the sport and love the fact that Hastings has real courts. One night, Jill says, several people from Keene joined them. There is a pickle ball group in Keene which uses a church hall. “Although younger people are becoming involved in the sport it is perfect for seniors, especially those who used to play tennis but find the large court and overhand serving a little too much now,” Jill said. “There are tournament players who take the game very seriously, but the majority of us like to play just for challenge, the exercise and the social aspect,” she adds. Jill says their pickle ball group now has eight to 10 regular players; they meet Monday night from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Thursday morning from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. “We welcome new players and are willing to teach the game to anyone who is interested.” The field house has equipment, so all players need to bring Pickle Ball is an increasingly popular sport and has taken root in Hastings where players like Sue Lyght, Doug Preston, Ann Preston, Judy Lawless and Jim Victor enjoy the game. are comfortable clothing and clean indoor running-court shoes.

Rena Rutherford January 22, 1917- June 27, 2016 God looked around his garden and found an empty place, He then looked down upon the Earth and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest, With the help of his angels they flew you to your heavenly place. God’s garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best, He knew you were suffering, he knew you were in pain, He knew that you would never get well on Earth again. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills too hard to climb, He closed your weary eyelids and whispered “Peace be Thine”. It broke our hearts to lose you but you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you the day God called you home. Always in our hearts. Allen & June, Roy & Janice Chris & Julie, Matthew & Emily, Kaitlan Nathon & Shannon, Ryan & Melissa Amber & Daiton

Pardon Me, Boy, Is That The Chattanooga Choo Choo? By John M. Smith Back in 1942, even before my time (so that’s OLD), the very first gold record (78-rpm) was declared to be “The Chattanooga Choo Choo”, a big-band/swing tune performed by Glenn Miller and his Orchestra. It was actually written in 1941 (music and lyrics by Harry Warren and Mack Gordon), so the city of Chattanooga, Tennessee is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. The song opens with a conversation between a passenger and a shoeshine boy: “Pardon me, boy, is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo?” “Track 29!” “Boy, you can give me a shine.” As the song continues, we learn that the passenger is about to board the steam locomotive to return to his gal in Tennessee: “When you hear the whistle blowin’ eight to the bar Then you know that Tennessee is not very far Shovel all the coal in Gotta keep it rollin’ Woo, woo, Chattanooga there you are.” The train would’ve eventually arrived at Chattanooga’s Terminal Station, but that former railroad station is now a resort/hotel, a member of the Historic Hotels of America, and is known as the Chattanooga Choo Choo Hotel. It has gone through major renovations and upgrades and not only has hotel rooms, but also offers an entertainment venue, restaurants, and retail spaces. I recently visited this historic station, and I learned that it’s even possible to stay as a hotel guest in one of the refurbished, restored sleeper cars, so I just had to check this out. As I wandered around the hotel’s grounds, I found aptly named Glen Miller Gardens. I also found an old steam locomotive on display – and, of
course, it was named the Chattanooga Choo soot. The worst part of the ride was, of course, If you prefer a longer train ride, the Tennessee Choo. Furthermore, I learned that the Chatta- when we went back through that tunnel, for the Valley Railroad offers a day trip to Chickamaunooga Choo Choo Hotel offers a “Chattanooga fumes were very strong!

In fact, it’s a rather stimulating adventure trek, for it includes the crossing of four bridges and passing through the pre-Civil War Missionary Ridge Tunnel (completed in 1858). At the half way point, at East Chattanooga, passengers disembark and watch as the steam locomotive boards a turntable, is turned around on that table, and reverses directions before our very eyes. It’s quite fascinating to watch! Then the locomotive goes to the other end of the train and is re-attached for the return journey. However, before the train trip continues, the passengers are taken into the railroad restoration shop that’s located there – for a tour of the antique equipment and to receive some pertinent history of the railroad in this area. When we re-boarded, my particular adventure really began in earnest, for I was allowed to actually get on the steam locomotive itself. I climbed up on a bench that was next to the coal, so I had a great view as the coal was shovelled. It was a very hot day, but both the shoveller and the engineer wore long sleeves, for the sparks would fly – and there was plenty of At work on the locomotive during the ride on the Mission Ridge Local.

back last year provided another object lesson. The tulip trees, Liriodendron tulipfera, went to sleep and stayed there. We pulled 30 or so out of our tree blocks and sent them down south to the home farm: we knew they weren’t dead but since they looked like vertical stacks of firewood we couldn’t have them subconsciously altering the perceptions of customers. Those trees recovered just fine and were returned to us around the end of August and have all since sold. None have been returned. So, even though many plants are, indeed, on the fringe they can recover from some serious setbacks if we are patient enough to allow them time. From this, I can segue into Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) and the aforementioned
buddleia. These two are the most commonly and mistakenly returned plant to the nursery. They look like dead sticks longer than any other plant in the garden- except for the ones that have actually died and are actually dead sticks-because they don’t leaf out until mid-June or so, especially if the ground was cool and wet in May. Mind you, there are some plants, for whatever reason, are not going to thrive on your piece of this good earth. If, like Liz and her gaillardia, you have several unsuccessful attempts with a particular plant, move on and grow something else. Repeated actions in the hope of a different outcome accomplish nothing more than fill the coffers of the garden centre.
End notes: Our area is blessed with a strong musical tradition and amazing talent. Recently, Mrs. Clost and I took in a Calum Graham concert at Riverside Music- thanks Jason and Bruce for setting that up. This young gentleman easily has the potential to be a globally renowned guitarist. However, what made the evening for everyone is when high school student, Sophie Macpherson (sp?) was invited onstage to play the Don Ross/ Calum Graham piece” 12:34.” Flawless execution but the chemistry between the two performers- and pure joy at making wonderful musicis what we all want to see at concerts. We look forward to seeing Sophie in her own show.

It seems that every year is a bad year for one plant or another. A few years ago just about every buddleia (butterfly bush) took the big sleep. Last year it looked like many of the Carolinian trees, e.g. tulip tree, were following the same path to the great compost pile in the sky...or behind the shed; wherever you have it. But, they came back, didn’t they? There are two points I learned from this. The first is that we should expect some plants to die over the winter for any number of reasons. One is that not all plants are suited to survive on the fringes of our climate. We know the plant boffins have been industriously expanding the range of many a plant, well beyond their native habitat, so they have a reasonable chance of survival in the Great White North. For
example, the buddleia has a reasonable chance, especially if you cover it up with dry mulch after freeze-up. This hardy chappie looked upon as a pernicious weed way down south, can shiver through a -18˚C evening. However, line up three or more days of that cold and it gives up the ghost. The second is that even the hardiest of our plants can succumb to prolonged periods of harsh climate. In the mid-80’s, we experienced a cold snap of epic proportions where the temps plummeted to -28˚C/F and stayed there for close to a week. I was spending my days pruning apple trees and I clearly recall hearing the loud cracks of limbs being blown apart from within. Quinte and Brighton areas lost thousands of fruit trees that year, even though they had breezed through several decades of our frosty winters. At Morning Star we lost two 80 year old Baxters, most of a block of Tolman Sweets, and the last remaining block of Snows (aka Fameuse.)

Moira Lake bass anglers aimed for speed
By Diane Sherman
Madoc - Highway 62 passes though Madoc. Coming up from the south, it crests on a knoll just before the busy intersection with Seymour Street, where children and families cross the road to go to the skate park, splash pad or Arts Centre. Throughout the week, school students stop at the Mac‘s Milk plaza for snacks, and spend their lunchtime with friends at the park. It‘s a busy spot, with no crosswalk or speed signs posted. Bass derby organizers, Bob Bancroft, Doug and Sharon Phillips, Tom Tunnicliff, Jim Beatty and Brad Phillips set a goal to purchase a radar speed indicator sign for traffic coming into the village from Highway 62 south. The sign they hope to purchase costs $5,000. Doug Phillips said Sunday after the Saturday bass derby, the group thinks they will be able to purchase it this year. „We‘re pretty confident, after expenses, we should have enough, but that doesn‘t mean we won‘t have a bass derby next year,” he noted. „We will have a fourth and put the proceeds toward another cause.“ More than 100 anglers put up $25 for the cause on opening day of bass season, July 18, registering at Baileys Cottages on the north shore of upper Moira Lake. The biggest fish was caught by Nick Pepe of London, Ontario, who bought a cottage up the river near Bronson’s Rapids in 1977. He took home $500 for a 4.1 pound catch. Tony Reid came in second for $300, and Paul Sarris got $250 for a 3.15 pound bass. Hidden weight prizes went to Adam Wells and John Hill. Funds were also raised on raffles of items donated by Tom Tunnicliff, Bailey‘s Cottages, Bob and Steve Bancroft, Krista Thompson, Motion Specialties, Chris‘s Live Bait and Madoc Farm Supply. Once purchased, the sign will be installed and maintained First prize of $500 went to long-time Moira Lake cottager, Nick Pepe of London, Ontario, He is congratulated by Bass Derby committee members, Brad Phillips and Bob Bancroft on by the municipal public works department. the left and Sharon and Doug Phillips of Bailey‘s Cottages.

Authority fears possible low water problem Quinte Conservation last week wrestled with a potential low water level problem and may soon have to reactivate its standing Low Water Advisory Committee. That committee is mandated by provincial legislation, but authority staffer Christine McClure, in her report to the board Thursday, suggested committee membership should be tweaked. She reported that rainfalls during May were only around 50 per cent of normal and flow levels are also decreasing. But at the time of her report, they were not critical enough to declare a low water emergency and activate the committee. Provincial guidelines require representation from Ontario ministries such as Environment, Agriculture, and Natural Resources, plus conservation authorities, municipal leaders and segments that have been or might be impacted by low levels, such as farmers, golf course operators, perhaps boaters or fishermen. A broader base of community partners was recommended in her report, which was adopted. The agency also adopted a report from staff member Paul McCoy, who recommended acceptance of an offered parcel of land north of Belleville along the banks of the Moira River. McCoy said the parcel is small in size, but is a key part of a special terrain that qualifies as one of the most significant ANSIs (area of natural or scientific interest ) of its type in Ontario. He reported several steep and often hidden drop-offs in the small area which could pose hazards for public use and added that if the authority takes on the property, it should not be open to the public. He summed up that the key reason to accept the gift would be to preserve a portion of a significant ANSI. The authority will not meet until Sept. 22 unless there is a need for an emergency session.

Trent Hills community rallies around Sophie in battle against rare cancer By Bill Freeman Hastings – The Trent Hills community is rallying around young Sophie O’Brien in her fight against retinoblastoma, a rare form of eye cancer which is threatening the one-yearold’s life. “The retinoblastoma is in both eyes; the right eye has the larger tumour than the left [and] both retinas are detached because of the tumours,” says Sophie’s grandmother Laura Delciancio of Hastings. “She’s such a happy baby; she’s looking at you and you don’t know she’s not seeing you. We don’t know how long her vision’s been like that.” The daughter of Jordan and Chris O’Brien is in the care of a pediatric oncology team at Sick Kids Hospital where she’s made frequent trips from Belleville and has been brav-
ing waves of chemotherapy and post-chemo injections. Sophie will lose her right eye but the family hopes chemo will help save the left eye and give surgeons a chance to safely remove the tumour and then reattach the retina to “give her some sort of vision.” “We don’t know if that’s a longshot or not. We just don’t know,” Laura says. The diagnosis came at the same time Sophie’s father Chris took over ownership of a grocery store in Cornwall and was preparing to move the family east from Belleville where Jordan’s a nurse. It has been a fearful and stressful time for the family with Chris commuting to Toronto as often as he can when Jordan and Sophie are at Sick Kids. “Jordan’s a very strong girl, but it’s been hard,” Laura said. “Now Sophie’s anemic. She’s
living in a dangerous situation.” The family has received financial and moral support from the Isaac Foundation for things like travel and lodging and access to a Victoria Fund Grant which helps cover some of the expense of post chemo injections. “[Jordan] doesn’t want to be a burden to anyone with things like that so they’ve been kind of doing this all on their own,” said Laura. Laura and a team of helpers are planning a “huge fundraiser” June 25 at the Hastings Civic Centre. “The donations are amazing,” said Laura. “I can’t say enough about how people have come forward. I’m so grateful. This community is going to be the saving grace of Sophie. It’s a sad day sometimes but we’re trying to keep as upbeat as we can. We can beat this, I’m sure The Trent Hills community is rallying around one-year-old Sophie O’Brien in her battle against retinoblastoma. A fundraiser we can.” will be held June 25 at the Hastings Civic Centre from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m.
Retired Chief Justice Patrick LeSage attends Jack Vance Golf Tournament
By Brett Mann
Stoco – Among the numerous dignitaries attending the ninth annual Jack Vance Golf Tournament at the Poplars Golf Course in Stoco was Retired Chief Justice Patrick LeSage of the Superior Court of Ontario. Justice LeSage was born and raised in Tweed and he shared some memories and observations. Recalling his long and distinguished legal career, LeSage remarked, “I’ve presided in every county or district courthouse in Ontario.” Following graduation from high school in Tweed
and receiving a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Ottawa, he returned to Tweed to work in the family fuel business for a year and a half before studying law at Osgoode Hall and being called to the Bar in 1963. In 1971 LeSage was made Chief Crown Attorney for all of Ontario. In his 29-year-long legal career, he served the last seven years as Chief Justice of the Superior Court of Ontario. LeSage currently lives in Toronto, but was “born here, grew up here. A practicing Roman Catholic, LeSage has been featured on the CBC ra-
dio program Tapestry and he invites people who are interested to listen to a pod-cast of the hour-long program. Recalling a Tweed, childhood he remembered, “I played hockey, but not very well. I played football with Jack Vance, but again, not well.” Interestingly his parentage reflects the ethnic and cultural makeup of Tweed in earlier times with a French father and an Irish mother. Justice LeSage maintains a Tweed connection. “I don’t get back nearly as often as I’d like. We had a cottage here about six years ago. I probably get here three or four times a year.”
Perhaps the most famous/notorious case LeSage has presided over was that of killer Paul Bernardo who is currently serving a life sentence in penitentiary. “As he should,” LeSage observes. Despite a professional life time dealing with law-breakers, LeSage remains free from bitterness or cynicism. “You do see a cross section [of society], you see a mixture. You get a lot of people who are not there because they’re evil, they’re there because often do stupid things, they do foolish things. They’re not people who make a life of crime.”
