Trenton’s own Mark Goulden takes reins of 8 Wing

BY MARTIN DURKIN

end of the runway, graduated from Trenton High School, and my kids were born in this community, so it really is home for us.”

Knowing that there is much to learn over the next few months, Goulden says he is not coming in with any agenda especially when 8 Wing is already so well managed.

“A new Commander on base is not going to change anything that anyone is doing, over the course of time I will learn what challenges there are, and then address those challenges as they surface,” explained Goulden.

What Goulden will focus on are three priorities.

“Excellence and operations, we are going to continue doing that weather it’s search and rescue , generating missions out of here, supporting operations worldwide, deploying certain people to operations,” explained Goulden who was quick to point out the support 8 Wing is ready to provide the people fighting forest fires in British Columbia.

Excellence and operations also covers the members within the forces individually, their families, as well as creating a work environment that is free of harassment.

The third priority is safety.

“Whether it’s flight safety,

general safety on the ground, making sure the environment is safe. I don’t see safety impeding operations but instead enhancing our operations,” said Goulden.

The involvement within the community of Quinte West is also another factor which Goulden says he is eager to be part of now.

“After living here for a few years I do have fairly good connections in the community, my wife Deb works in the community through the healthcare system, and to me that’s part of the job in the sense that the community support is so very important to our members and our families,” said Goulden who says it’s families who find jobs within the communities, play sports, or need medical attention.

When it comes to families, Goulden says his own will play a major factor over the next two years as he leads the Wing in the public eye.

“I’ve been very fortunate over the years not only to be supported by my wife and boys, but her family lives in the area as well and they provide support and it really is very much a team effort,” said Goulden.

Goulden says he is also ready to forge a bond with new Wing Chief Warrant

CFB Trenton - There’s always that little bit of angst when walking into a new job, and following Col. Colin Keiver is no small feat, but for new incoming Commanding Officer Col. Mark Goulden, he’s ready to take over the reins.

“I told Colin earlier in the week, some of the angst I had coming into the job has all been alleviated based on the briefings that have been provided,” said Goulden.

Not only has Goulden been posted to CFB Trenton for the past 15 years, he grew up here, so he feels he is coming to a wing he already knows and understands.

“I understand the mission well, I understand what the units do, there are a lot of new faces here, but I’m very comfortable with what the wing does, and our place in the Air Force,” said Col. Goulden.

It was around Christmas time when Col. Goulden received a surprise gift; he was told he was to become the new Commanding Officer of 8 Wing.

“I would say it was unexpected. I really wanted to do it, but I didn’t know it was going to happen,” said Goulden.

“My family is very happy. My wife is from the area, I grew up in a PMQ (Permanent Married Quarters) just at the

Officer Troy Zuorro and together build their own style of leadership within the base.

“Troy and I are completely aligned, he’s a gentleman and I couldn’t be happier to him as the Wing Chief,” said Goulden.

Knowing that this role will put him in the spotlight as the voice of the Wing, Goulden says he will make sure the light is shone on the members

of 8 Wing.

“To me it’s not about Mark Goulden, it’s about the members here. I will be a commander for a time but there will be other commanders after me, and so it will always be about the men and women at 8 Wing and their daily role,” explained Goulden who says the members of 8 Wing are the real rock stars, and not himself.

Trenton – The Trent Port Marina now offers masting and de-masting services with new access to a crane.

Quinte West City Council approved a recommendation Monday July 17 to enter into an agreement with TSC Realty Co. Ltd. to permit the city use of TSC’s crane adjacent to the boat launch facility for marina use.

costs, maintain appropriate levels of insurance and provide TSC with 25 per cent of all revenues collected from using the crane.

Councillor David McCue said the new service is a great addition to the marina because sailboats can’t go up the Trent River with masts raised so boaters have had to go elsewhere when in need of the service.

The agreement is effective immediately.

Celebrating the life of Padre Sid Horne

BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton — Rev. Sidney Gordon “Padre Sid” Horne has died at the age of 93 in his home on July 2 and his life will be celebrated by many.

Referred to as “Everyone’s Padre” by the late Bob Campney, former mayor of Quinte West, Padre Sid Horne touched many people throughout the Bay of Quinte Region.

Padre Sid Horne received an Honorary Doctorate of Divinity in May 2012.

He spent a total of 32.5 years as a Military Chaplain and was honoured in 1995 by being made Honorary Chaplain of CFB Trenton.

He was an Honorary Assistant at St. George's Anglican Church Trenton since 1971, former chaplain to the Royal Canadian Legion area branches, 413 Wing Association, Hastings Prince Edward Regimental Association and the first Chaplain to the National Canadian Air Force Association.

Padre Sid Horne celebrated 60 years of Ordination in 2011 and after retirement from the Military Chaplaincy, he became a Parish Priest to the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte, serving from 1987 to 1994.

Chief Donald Maracle of the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte said Padre Sid Horne was given the highest honour when he retired as the Parish Priest.

The Chief Band Council honoured the Padre by making him an Honorary Chaplain, inducted into the Mohawk Tribe and given the name "RA WEN NEN HA WE," meaning "The Carrier of the Word."

“He was made the Chaplain to the Mo-

hawks for life, in recognition of his outstanding service to our people so on behalf of the Mohawks of Bay of Quinte we extend our condolences to the family and they can be very proud of their loved one and his service to other people,” said Maracle.

Maracle remembered his good friend as a man with a great sense of humour who was happy, always spoke his mind, reached out and befriended many people and took an interest in everyone.

He was always giving compliments, making people feel appreciated and respected.

“It certainly was a life well lived, I’ll always remember him saying at every funeral that death was the turning down of a lamp as the sun brightens on the horizon,” said Maracle.

The celebration of life will be held in Deseronto at the Christ Church Royal Chapel, a request from Padre Sid Horne.

“He always said that the time in Tyendinaga was the best seven years of his life,” said Maracle.

“It’s a great honour that we host his funeral, it’s where he wanted it to be and he made many friends at Tyendinaga and he will be always respected.”

Padre Sid Horne’s kindness and support of others earned him the Ontario's Senior Citizen of the Year award in 2008 and he was also a Life Member of the Masonic Lodge for 66 years and was provided with a personal letter of congratulations from the prime minister of Canada honouring his work in the church and the community.

Colonel Colin Keiver bids farewell to 8 Wing

BY MARTIN DURKIN

CFB Trenton - After two years as the Commanding Officer of 8 Wing Trenton, Canada’s largest air base, Colonel Colin Keiver is moving on to Ottawa and Col. Mark Goulden will be stepping in to take over as wing commander.

There, have been many memories created on base over the past two years with Keiver at the helm. Many serious functions, but many a fun time as well.

In the days leading up to the change of command, Keiver has taken a few moments to look back on his tenure at 8 Wing.

“Honestly, the one thing going through my mind is trying to carve out space so that I can enjoy this last week,” said Keiver.

When looking back at some of his accomplishments, Keiver takes a moment to think on what he is most proud of.

“Certainly the Air Show, the Earl of Bessborough, I look at all the missions and exercises including operations that this Wing has done in the last two years, but I think I have to say I am most proud of the people,” explained Keiver who says it will be the people on base the com-

munity of Quinte West that he will miss the most.

“I am constantly amazed by the talent that lies here, and sometimes the biggest challenge is getting out of the way and letting that talent thrive and do what it needs to do,” said Keiver.

Now on his way to Ottawa, Keiver says he is looking forward to some anonymity, losing some of that celebrity status that comes with being a leader on Canada’s largest air base.

“Just going to dinner and not having multiple people come up and say hi, and now moving to a big city I’m looking forward to all the things a big city has to offer,” chuckled Keiver who says he will enjoy the art and restaurant scene of Canada’s Capital.

Keiver says he is also looking forward to a little bit more family time now that his role is going to be quieter, and when he steps up to the podium for the Change of Command, he admits he will be looking towards his family.

“They’re the ones who have borne this more so than I,” said Keiver. “Without their support I couldn’t do this job, this is a team sport being a Wing Commander and without my wife Jennifer and the kids it would not happen; it would be infinitely harder without them.”

Handing over 8 Wing is going to be a bit tough for Keiver. He realizes that the base is also his family and the bonds here are strong.

“I remember vividly when I had to hand over

Keiver who says it’s almost like a period of withdrawal learning how to move on.

As far as words of wisdom for the incoming Commander, Keiver says, “Jump in with both feet, make it your own and rely on the people here; they know what they are doing.”

One thing which Keiver fostered at 8 Wing was better communication and he would like to see that grow, especially in keeping up with no email Wednesday’s which he believes helps create a better face to face dialogue and will be something he continues at his new role in Ottawa.

As Keiver looks out his window he can look down on the Vimy oak trees that he and retired Wing Chief Warrant Officer Darcy Elder planted just a month ago as part of their legacy on the base.

“I would like to think mine will grow stronger and healthier but given how big Darcy is, it will probably be his,” joked Keiver. “The beauty of those is, those are oak trees and Darcy and I will be long dead before they grow to maturity so we’ll never really know. But it is a little bit of myself left behind.”

Trenton bustles to buzz of Festival on the Bay

BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton — Downtown Trenton’s annual Festival on the Bay offered something for everyone. From fireworks to reptiles to artwork to dragon boat racing, the festival was a hit.

The three-day festival kicked off Thursday with the sidewalk sale and bustled Friday with boat cruises, axe throwing, entertainment and concluded with a fantastic fireworks show by Mystical Distributing Inc. Myriah O’Quinn was recently posted to Canadian Forces Base Trenton and

said she enjoyed Festival on the Bay with her family, especially Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo. “It’s really cool. This is our first experience of the bay and it’s awesome. We went to the fireworks last night, they were amazing, really beautiful. Ray’s Reptiles is really cool, the kids are loving it and we came to see it yesterday and the kids wanted to come back today,” she said.

Posted from Nova Scotia, O’Quinn said they are very happy and impressed with their new home so far.

“It’s a beautiful area, downtown and everything,” she said. “There is so much going on here, beautiful

area, lots of nature, parks around and everything, so we’re really happy that we moved here.”

Art in the Park returned on Saturday for Arts Quinte West’s sixth annual showcase.

Paul Hill, visiting from British Columbia, said he was happily surprised at the very talented artists at Art in the Park.

“I’m also amazed at the reasonable prices of the art; it’s a very diverse collection today, very nice,” he said. “I’m definitely buying two pieces today. I think this really adds to the overall festival feeling for sure, it’s nice to have it to compliment everything going on today.”

Shawn Donnan, owner of Horizon Metal Works and creator of fire globes, recently garnered a lot of attention with his Canada 150 fire globe and trip to Parliament Hill.

Donnan and his sister Kelly Baldock took part in Art in the Park, showcasing three different globes.

“We got a huge response on the 150 globe, but people didn’t know that we do other designs too so that’s why we brought out these three designs today,” said Donnan.

After being a dairy farmer for 35 years, Donnan created Horizon Metal Works five months ago and started crafting the globes out of steel.

The globes can be any design and include wood fires, LED lighting, propane and natural gas.

Most designs are made to be pretty personal, said Donnan, and take about two weeks to complete with a price tag starting at $900 for a half globe.

Donnan said it felt great to be invited to Trenton’s Art in the Park.

“The response has been overwhelming, I brought a big stack of cards and I’m all out,” he said. “I’ll absolutely be back next year.”

Across the Trent River, the annual Trenton Dragon Boat Festival was underway, raising money for the YMCA Strong Kids campaign.

Kit McCandie, supervisor of adult fitness at the Quinte West YMCA, participated in the event and said it was a fantastic day, as always.

“There’s a lot of camaraderie; you can tell that the teams really spend a lot of time working together and playing to-

gether and it’s fun, but we’re all competitive nonetheless,” she said.

The YMCA strong kids campaign is an annual fundraising campaign, focused on raising money to give kids the opportunity to participate in YMCA programs.

“If you come to the building any time in the summertime and see the sheer numbers of children who are here for camp, our goal is to have one in five be subsidized so that’s what the Strong Kids

OPINION

Time for giving, living, thanking

Absent presidents are good for good quotes Newspapers still need copy to hold the ads apart even when nothing much is happening. So I was quite pleased when I noticed that the presidents of two African countries, Nigeria and Zimbabwe, both “missing Gwynne Dyer were in action”: spending most of their time in hospitals overseas, while their spokespersons denied that there was anything wrong.

Nigeria is Africa’s most populous country, with the continent’s biggest economy.

Zimbabwe is dirt poor and dead broke, but its president, Robert Mugabe is Africa’s longest-ruling leader. So you call the piece ‘Absent Presidents’, you do a few arabesques around the themes of absolute power and irresponsibility, and you get to go home early.

There were even a couple of juicy quotes to lead with. One of the supporters of Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari, Senator Shehu Sani, had warned publicly: “Prayers for the absent Lion King have waned. Now the hyenas and the jackals are scheming and talking to each other in whispers; still doubting whether the Lion King will be back or not.”

And President Buhari’s wife Aisha replied, also in public, that he would soon be back to clean house: “God has answered the prayers of the weaker animals. The hyenas and jackals will soon be sent out the kingdom.” How deliciously ‘African.’ The piece practically writes itself. It couldn’t be simpler.

Unfortunately, it’s too simple. It feeds into all the stereotypes about feckless African presidents who cling to power too long and lead their countries to ruin. In fact neither Buhari nor Mugabe is a thief (although some of the people around them are), and Buhari’s illness is a real misfortune for his country. Whereas Mugabe’s demise would not come a moment too soon for his unfortunate country.

Robert Mugabe’s life has been a tragedy.

He led Zimbabwe’s independence struggle, and in the early days he was sometimes even compared to South Africa’s Nelson Mandela, a wise and generous man who relinquished the presidency after only five years in power to let the next generation take over.

But although Mugabe was clever, he was never wise.

Zimbabwe flourished in the early years of his rule, with high education and living

standards, but he has now been in power for 37 years and his increasingly arbitrary actions have wrecked the economy. Few people have real jobs, hyper-inflation has destroyed the national currency, and about a quarter of the population has emigrated in search of work, mostly to South Africa.

Mugabe is now 93 years old, but he talks of living and ruling until he is 100, and is certainly going to run again in next year’s election, which will be rigged as usual. His wife, Grace Mugabe, says he should run “as a corpse” if he dies before the vote (but she might just decide to run herself.)

So the fact that Mugabe is now in hospital in Singapore, for the third time this year, is not causing widespread dismay in Zimbabwe. Opposition leaders complain about him “running the show from his hospital bed,” but they wouldn’t actually mind if he died.

They think nothing could be worse than more of Mugabe – although they could be wrong about that. The scramble for power when he finally goes could turn very violent.

If Robert Mugabe is a classic case of a good man gone bad, Muhammadu Buhari may be just the opposite. He first came to public notice as one of Nigeria’s revolvingdoor military dictators, seizing power in a coup in 1983 and losing it to another coup in 1985. The one thing that distinguished him from all the others was that he actually did fight the rampant corruption that has kept the great majority of Nigeria’s 180 million people poor.

Buhari, who calls himself a “converted democrat”, ran for the presidency unsuccessfully in 2003, 2007 and 2011 before finally winning in the 2015 election. There were high hopes that he would be the one who finally brought corruption under control, and perhaps he could have been – but nothing actually happened. In fact, it took him six months just to select all his cabinet members.

In retrospect, it seems likely that Buhari fell ill not long after he took office, and has been severely distracted by his health problems since mid-2016. He has been in London for medical treatment more than half the time since January, and has not been seen in public at all since early May. Despite his wife’s assurances to the contrary, it is unlikely that he will ever really run the country again.

This is not necessarily a disaster for Nigeria – the graveyards everywhere are full of indispensable men. But it may represent a lost opportunity, for Buhari did really sound like he meant it. Better luck next time. There, you see. I did get an article out of it after all.

Editorial by Chris Malette In communities across our sprawling readership area – from Gilmour to Consecon and from Cramahe Township to Flinton – there is rarely a weekend when a fundraiser of some sort isn’t under way.

In summer those events kick into hyperdrive, many of them involving grown men and women chasing (and often cursing) after small, round, white balls.

So it was that many of the region’s duffers, sports celebrity fans and supporters of myriad local charities came out for the 30th and final Medigas Celebrity Classic golf tournament last weekend in Belleville.

The lure, of course, is to tee it up with the likes of Darryl Sittler, Wendel Clark, Andrew Shaw or veteran NHLers and ball players like Rene Robert and Blue Jays Kelly Gruber and Alvis Woods.

The tournament had its roots in 1988 when former St. Louis Blues captain Rick Meagher, of Belleville, got together with buddy John Pepper to begin a fundraiser to drum up money for an accessible playground for children like Pepper’s daughter Nicole, in whose name the ‘pirate ship’ park in Belleville’s Riverside Park is named.

Over the years, the tournament raised eyepopping numbers of money for a local fundraiser and, as the tournament and the projects it funded progressed over the years, the numbers remained high and impressive.

While the focus remained on helping local children when Medigas took over the tournament 10 years ago, it also introduced the “Driving Dreams for our Youth Scholarship” program. It’s a $5,000 scholarship to assist seven senior students, each year, from local secondary schools who are graduating in their fourth year of high school and entering an accredited college or university in a health science field of study.

Medigas has carried on the tradition of the mega-tournament for several years, explained Belleville’s director for Medigas Eastern Canada Randy McFarland. But he feels it’s time for a new, fresh group of people to take over.

The core of the Meagher/Medigas machinery has remained relatively solid, with some natural changeover when the Meagher crew finished 20 long years of doing the grunt work in the background so the glamorous golf day can attract the deep pockets whose owners make the fund-raising possible.

There will always be a need for funds for special medical projects. But, in keeping, the Medigas tournament has recently raised funds for a play structure at Belleville General Hospital and McFarland said he hopes the next batch of funds will help with a yet-to-be-determined City of Bel-

leville project.

Over the years, the tournament, in all of its forms, has raised funds for: Belleville Dialysis, BGH Childrens Treatment Centre; Belleville Rotary Club Special Children’s Fund; Belleville YMCA challenger baseball and Special Needs Camp; Easter Seals; Juvenile Arthritis and Diabetes; KGH Pediatric ICU; Kingston Regional Cancer Centre pediatric oncology unit; the M.S. Society; and Quinte Access, which provides transportation for physically challenged individuals.

••• Often, in the local, provincial or national media, we’re somewhat tribal in that we neither make mention of or even acknowledge our fellow travellers in the craft.

But, a guy like Matt Mitchell, who’s hosted the morning show on CJBQ AM for 28 years, deserves a nod at the very least. Mitchell is leaving and we want to say, ‘Thanks Matt to one of the truly good guys in our business.’

From a partial story/tribute on the station’s website: Prior to arriving to CJBQ in 1989 to replace then morning man Peter Thompson, Matt worked at four stations, including ones in Edmonton and Kingston.

His move to the Quinte region was sparked by a desire to be close to his father, who was nearing the end of his life, and he’s been here ever since and intends to stay in his retirement years.

“I love this area and I love my listeners. They’re like friends, like family,” says the man who regularly receives upwards of 50 calls from listeners during his morning show. When he made his retirement announcement on air last week, the phone lines lit up like a Christmas tree.

“It never ceases to amaze me how folks around here help each other during emergencies and support so many charities so generously. They’re amazing, and I’m going to miss them dearly.”

At 62, Mitchell has rarely wavered from his friendly, calming on-air style, often Peter Gzowski-like in the feeling that his voice fits like a warm cardigan on a cold morning.

But, for anyone who knows Matt, he’s the same guy off air and more. A truly friendly bear of a man with a great sense of humour and when he asks how you’re doing, he means it.

Like the people who devote hundreds of hours to making things like charity golf tournaments, pig roasts and other community benefits running, to folks like Mitchell, who genuinely love the people of their community, they’re all part and parcel for a rich fabric that makes this region’s communities such a joy to call home.

Bay of Quinte and Lake Ontario flood warning remains Quinte West — The flood warning issued on May 8 for Lake Ontario and Bay of Quinte shoreline from Grafton to Quinte West remains in effect as water levels remain at record highs.

Water levels on Lake Ontario and the Bay of Quinte have been slowly dropping since

SurNet Harold Fledderus C.A.I.B.

water levels peaked at the end of May. However, above normal precipitation through May and June has resulted in a very slow decline.

Shoreline flooding and erosion from high waves remain a concern particularly during storms and periods of strong winds. The public should anticipate unusually high lake levels to persist through the summer months.

The International Lake Ontario — St. Lawrence River Board reports that the average daily water level for Lake Ontario was 75.72 metres above sea level (masl) as of July 13, which is 16 centimetres lower than the peak level of 75.88 masl recorded on May 29.

Fledderus Financial

The daily water level measured July 13 at Cobourg was 75.67 masl, which is 3 centimetres below the Lake Ontario 100-year flood elevation of 75.70 masl.

The Lake Ontario — St. Lawrence River Board has been maintaining unprecedented outflow from Lake Ontario of 10,400 cubic metres per second since June 14 in efforts to drop water levels.

Further information on flow regulation out of Lake Ontario can be found at the International Lake Ontario — St. Lawrence River Board Facebook page: www. facebook.com/InternationalLakeOntarioStLawrenceRiverBoard, and the International Joint Commission website: www.ijc.org/loslr/ en/background/index.php.

Shoreline residents are reminded that any

restoration or repair work along the shoreline will require a permit from Lower Trent Conservation and should call the office at 613-394-4829 or visit the website (www.ltc. on.ca) for more information.

Lower Trent Conservation urges residents to take care along the shoreline and on the water as levels drop over the coming weeks.

Unsafe and unstable banks may exist due to recent erosion and high water.

Wave action has also deposited debris along shorelines and beaches. Floating debris could cause hazardous conditions for boaters.

The flood warning will remain in effect until Friday, Aug. 25, or will be updated before then.

Lighting of Centennial Park ball diamond and soccer field delayed

BY ERIN STEWART

‘‘If you don’t know Insurance, know your Insurance Broker’’

Trenton – The lighting of Bayshore baseball field and the soccer field at Centennial Park may be delayed from August until the fall due to the need to upgrade the power supply at Centennial Park.

A recommendation was pulled from the agenda of

Monday night's council meeting in Quinte West, postponing a recommendation to use $275,000 from the capital reserve to cover the additional cost to upgrade the power supply and Geo Tech report, a total price tag of $696,000.

“I had the report pulled from council’s agenda because I’m not comfortable with the recommendation, there’s additional questions I have since I got back from vacation on Sunday that I need answers to,” said Chris Angelo, director of public works and environmental services.

Angelo said he has to do further investigation and have conversations with Hydro One, the Electrical Safety Authority and staff to figure out exactly what recommendation needs to be brought forward to council.

Angelo said he doesn’t know if the additional

cost of $275,000 includes any future upgrades required to accommodate Centennial Park and its master plan.

“Additional lighting for Couch Crescent upgrades, additional lighting for the arena parking lot, upgrades to the amphitheatre because I heard we’re blowing fuses over there, so I need to make sure that all of this cost is built into that $275,000 cost estimate and if not I need to find out and bring that back to council,” he said.

At this point in time, the lights and poles for Bayshore baseball diamond have been ordered and the contract has been awarded to install it, but Angelo said they must determine where they can get power from and what that additional cost could be.

“I know staff met with the Quinte Royals and Quinte West soccer club to explain what could potentially be, I envision that if there’s any delay it will

probably be until September or October until the lights have been installed,” he said.

According to the staff recommendation that was pulled from the agenda, the tender documents stated the power for the baseball field lighting comes from a building with an existing 400amp single-phase 120/240V service.

The lights being supplied by the city and specified in the bid package are 347 volt.

The existing single-phase service is not adequate to supply the hardball field with enough power for the lights.

The same situation applies to the soccer field. The power extends from an existing single-phase 200amp 120/240V but the lighting load on the soccer field is greater than the baseball field.

In order for the new services to be created the high voltage services need to be upgraded to Centennial Park.

of Quinte community at Quinte West council

BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton – Rob Mullowney, Chief Operating Officer of the Belleville Senators, shared an update and vision of the Belleville Senators to Quinte West city council on Monday.

Mullowney said the team wants to be a part of the community and its commitment is not only to Belleville but the Bay of Quinte as a whole.

“If we do not establish ourselves as a Bay of Quinte team it will not work,” he said. “We are Bay of Quinte’s team and we really hope we can get the support of the fan base here.”

The team’s vision is to inspire the community, be relentless in the pursuit of operational excellence, enhance the development of the future Ottawa Senators and become the team of choice in the Bay of Quinte.

“What’s been very exciting for us as an organization, in the early stages of development, is we are seeing a reaction from the community that represents the Bay of Quinte,” he said. “We have many season ticket holders that call Quinte West home.”

The team will represent the community and engage with the com-

munity throughout the season, he said, and eventually the team would also like to launch a foundation to put money and programming back into the community.

“Last year, the 30 teams in the AHL put $15 million back to their communities, on average that’s $500,000 that went back into a community,” he said. “That, I think, will have a tremendous impact on the Bay of Quinte.”

It’s not just about money, it’s also about programming like reading programs in schools, said Mullowney.

“I would love to learn more about the problems that you folks face in your community because I think, as a hockey team, we can be a catalyst for that change,” he said. “We want to be a partner in this community and we want to help change this community for the better.”

Councillor Sally Freeman welcomed the Sens representatives at council and said there were many upset residents when the Bulls left town.

“To have somebody of your calibre take their place is pretty exciting for the entire region,” she said.

“The Bay of Quinte region is something we’ve been promoting and promoting, we are selling ourselves as community like you say, not just individual towns… so thank you for recognizing that and becoming a partner in that.”

Due to the Yardmen Arena being under construction, Mullawney said the league was supportive in creating a schedule with away games for the month of October and the home opener set for November 1.

Mullowney said the organization will unveil the team’s sweater design in August.

Trenton Rowing and Paddling Club finally open for season

BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton — After many delays due to high water levels, the Trenton Rowing and Paddling Club (TRPC) is finally kicking off the 2017 season.

Suzanne Andrews, general manager of the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce and secretary of TRPC, said it’s been a long wait and the river conditions are still not ideal as water levels are still high but are not expected to recede quickly.

“We’ve got our docks in and we are consciously proceeding with our paddling program, we have some great coaches in place,” said Andrews.

“We get a lot of people every year wanting to try rowing, they see the rowers on the river and they think it would be something fun to learn,” she said.

The five week learn to row program begins on Tuesday July 18 at 6 p.m. for anyone interested in learning about the sport, 14 years or older. The cost of the program is $120

and at the end of the program the cost can be converted into a rowing membership.

Due to a late start, memberships are 30 per cent off at $90. Discounts are available to additional family members and students.

Along with stand up paddle boarding, kayaking and rowing, the club has started a dragon boat team.

“We are looking for people who are interested in dragon boating to join our club, and you don’t have to have any previous experience, it’s a recreational team at this point so it’s just about having fun and getting out on the water,” said Andrews.

The dragon boat team will practice Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Andrews said the team is open to anybody 18 years and over.

The team will participate in races and the first one will be at the Trenton Dragon Boat Festival on Saturday, July 15.

Children are also welcome to join

Medigas/Meagher Classic tops $3 million over 30-year run

BY STEPHEN PETRICK, CHRIS MALETTE

Belleville – Andrew Shaw hasn’t forgotten where he came from.

The Montreal Canadiens centreman, and two-time Stanley Cup winner, has come back to his hometown of Belleville for seven straight summers now to participate in the Medigas Celebrity Classic golf tournament.

The tournament, which celebrated its 30th and final year, was once led by Rick Meagher, a Belleville-born NHLer of another generation. This year, the tournament wrapped up after topping a total $3 million mark over its three decades.

Meagher is still involved and has encouraged a new crop of Belleville NHLers to participate, and carry on the tradition of raising funds for special city projects, particularly related to children.

Shaw says he’s happy to come out and swing the sticks, knowing the funds raised in the past have led to great parks. The Rick Meagher/Medigas Rotary Play Park at Riverside Park (otherwise known as “the pirate ship park”) and a similar park at West Zwick’s, made to accommodate children with mobile disabilities, are products of tournament funds.

While the focus remained on helping local children when Medigas took over the tournament 10 years ago, it also introduced the “Driving Dreams for our Youth Scholarship” program. It’s a $5,000 scholarship to assist seven senior students from local secondary schools who are graduating in their fourth year of high school and entering an accredited college or university in a health science field of study.

“You see all the parks and the beautiful things they’ve done for the city,” said Shaw, from Shoeless Joe’s Restaurant on July 11, where the first of a week’s worth of fundraisers linked to the tournament were taking place.

Shaw said, as a Belleville-raised NHL player, he feels an obligation to come back and contribute to the community that helped him reach hockey’s highest level.

“We all grew up playing hockey here, the community always supported us; made sure we had ice time and places to train,” he said.

“Belleville’s a tight-nit group,” he later added. “We’ve always taken care of our own.”

Shaw will be one of several sports celebrities on the links at Trillium Woods Golf Club on Saturday, July 15. Fellow Belleville-born NHLers Brad Richardson and Shawn Antoski are also contributing to the tournament and were at Shoeless Joe’s on Tuesday, along with Meagher himself.

During the evening, a fairly informal affair, restaurant guests could participate in a silent auction with sports memorabilia up for grabs. Ten per cent of restaurant food sales were also to go to the fundraising pot.

The tournament will also have a “closed” Friday night fundraising event at Capers restaurant, too.

Randy McFarland, the Medigas executive who now organizes the tournament, said organizers were aiming for the three events leading to the tournament to raise $200,000, a number that would be about twice as high as normal.

Actually, he clarified, had been really hoping the events will bring in $300,000.

(It did and the tournament indeed topped the $300,000 mark for the day and $3 million overall). The benchmark number was meaningful given that the tournament was in its final year – at least in its current form.

Medigas has carried on the tradition for several years, he explained, but he feels it’s time for a new, fresh group of people

to take over.

There will always be a need for funds for special city projects through. The Medigas tournament has recently raised funds for a play structure at Belleville General Hospital and McFarland said he hopes the next batch of funds will help with a yet-to-bedetermined City of Belleville project.

Over the years, the tournament, in all of its forms, has raised funds for: Belleville Dialysis, BGH Childrens Treatment Centre; Belleville Rotary Club Special Children’s Fund; Belleville YMCA challenger

baseball and Special Needs Camp; Easter Seals; Juvenile Arthritis and Diabetes; KGH Pediatric ICU; Kingston Regional Cancer Centre pediatric oncology unit; the M.S. Society; and Quinte Access, which provides transportation for physically challenged individuals.

Last year, proceeds from the Medigas Classic provided $50,000 for a fully accessible playground development and expansion at West Zwicks Park.

McFarland said he’s optimistic that the tournament will continue in some way,

because it’s always received great support from Belleville’s NHL community.

He commented on how grateful he is to have people like Shaw, Richardson and Antoski supporting the tournament.

“They’re homegrown Belleville guys and they want to give back to their community,” he said.

He’s also grateful for Meagher, who got the tournament started in the 1980s when he was playing with the St. Louis Blues.

“He handed the torch to us and we ran with it,” McFarland said.

Funding available for shoreline damage It’s been a strange season of unusually high water levels for those living along the Bay of Quinte and it’s led to damage along many shoreline properties.

However, the Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan may be able to help property owners dealing with damage.

Through the Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan’s (BQRAP) stewardship programs, landowners can access a number of funding categories and receive technical support to help restore their shorelines and make them more resilient to extreme weather events.

“This year, extreme weather caused unprecedented high water levels damaging many shoreline properties,” the BQRAP said in a statement. “ As water levels start to recede landowners are beginning to realize the extent of the damage. Many shorelines have experienced severe erosion issues, as shorelines have been washed away.

This not only creates aesthetics issues and impacts property values, but also washes sediment, debris, and nutrients into the Bay of Quinte and local waterways, causing water quality issues, the BQRAP says.

There is a selection of funding categories designed to help improve the resilience of shorelines, like shoreline plantings. One of the contributing factors to shoreline erosion is having an expanse of lawn that is mowed to the water’s edge. Since, grass doesn’t have deep stabilizing

roots, it allows soil to be easily washed away.

Adding native vegetation like trees and shrubs, with deep root systems, will help prevent erosion to a shoreline, and filter sediment and nutrient runoff, improving water quality.

Other categories like shoreline naturalization, help with structural issues providing options like bioengineering. Bioengineering incorporates plants in combination with natural materials such as logs, live stakes, and brush bundles, creating a natural appearance and habitat for fish and wildlife.

Another category is water quality improvements, which encompasses a wide variety of projects to stabilize shorelines and provide habitat.

“Natural shorelines can better withstand the effects of extreme weather events and protect water quality in the Bay of Quinte,” BQRAP says. “Today, the Bay of Quinte is a healthy and vibrant ecosystem. Taking a natural approach to restoring a shoreline will help keep it that way.

To find out more about these funding programs, project criteria, and available funding limits visit www.bqrap.ca Remember, always check with your local conservation authority about permits before undertaking any shoreline work.

The Remedial Action Plan works to clean up the bay, in partnership with Quinte Conservation and Lower Trent Conservation.

When the Rick Meagher Celebrity Classic began 30 years ago, the aim was to provide funds that would assist those with physical and developmental challenges to enjoy life at playgrounds and with programs.

That tradition continued Saturday July 15 with the 30th and final edition of the Medigas Celebraity Classic as sports celebrities gathered (above) with children from the region’s assisted living homes turned out to be with their heroes for the morning.

Leafs great Darryl Sittler, above right, joined auctioneer and Medigas organizer Boyd Sullivan at the fundraising auction at Trillium Woods Golf Course Saturday to help boost sales of collectibles, including an autographed Sittler jersey that sold for more than $2,000.

Right, Belleville’s own Andrew Shaw posed with fans before the tee-off off the Medigas Classic. The Habs centreman was a crowd favourite at various functions surrounding the tournament all weekend.

Just last month, I was in Gering, Nebraska with a group of travel writers. We were exploring western Nebraska in the hopes of discovering material for future travel pieces and, of course, much was found, for it’s a fascinating part of the country – and I’ll be sharing some of these intriguing findings in future travel pieces.

However, today I plan to talk about my tornado encounter, for this was a new experience for me!

I had just checked in to my accommodations at Gering’s Monument Inn & Suites when I received a phone call from the front desk, telling me that there was a TORNADO ALERT for the area. If I heard sirens, I was to immediately go to the lobby, for I would then be escorted to a shelter! Well, this certainly got my attention, for I had never experienced a tornado so ‘up close and personal’, and I was told that it wasn’t just one sighting, but several (actually, 22 tornado strikes were reported to hit in the area that day!).

A few moments later, I received a second phone call, and I was told to immediately come down to the lobby, for our entire group was about to be taken to an underground shelter for safety. Well, that was a rather unique way to meet the other travel writers who were assembled here from all over the U.S. and Canada (16 of us)! We soon found ourselves all sitting in a basement boardroom, right next to Gering’s Emergency Management Headquarters, and we wondered what was happening outside. We didn’t actually even hear the fierce winds or see the intense hail and rain, for we were tucked away in our protective cocoon. We simply chitchatted, drank coffee, and ate cookies while the storm raged on. We felt quite safe down there, and when we emerged about 2 hours later, the storm had passed, the hail had

disappeared, and all that remained for us to see were the large puddles that had been left behind by the torrential rains – and some eerie signs of wind damage.

Before we left our basement sanctuary, though, we had gone into the actual Emergency Management Headquarters, where we were witness to many 911 calls. Area residents were frantically phoning and complaining about fallen trees, flooding, hail damage, and power outages, so the place was busy! After all, a tornado had

just hit in the vicinity!

When we emerged, we could hear police and fire sirens, and there was quite a bustle of activity in the area, but I never felt that I had been in any real danger. This simply confirmed for me the importance of seeking proper shelter in such an emergency situation. Therefore, if you’re inside during a tornado warning, it’s best to go to the lowest level of your building, and get away from windows and doorways. If you’re outside, get inside! This includes leaving a

mobile home for a safer shelter. If you’re driving in a car, drive away from the tornado if you can, or stop by the side of the road and keep it running (so that the air bags will work and help to protect you somewhat upon impact). If there’s a deep ditch nearby, some recommend leaving the car and hunkering down as low as possible in the ditch (but get far enough away from the car that it won’t be blown onto you!).

Avoid seeking shelter under a roof or bridge that could collapse and crush you!

The very next day, we learned that a tornado had hit Bayard, a community located about 35 km. from Gering. It had ripped a roof off a nursing home but, miraculously, no one was injured. The residents were evacuated and cared for at a local high school (where many volunteers helped out). There were also reports of damaged homes and farms, overturned tractor trailers, and even a derailed train.

Our group visited a nearby B&B, Barn Anew (www.barnanew.com) the day after the tornadoes, and here we learned that their guests had been taken to their own shelter during that storm: their nicely decorated root cellar. After all, some guests were camped out in a very unique sheep herder’s wagon that’s situated on this property, and that wouldn’t be an ideal locale during a tornado! As guests descended the steps, they read the following inscription: “When the big wind blows you’ll want to go to our safe place down below.”

The weather was fine for the rest of our trip, and we visited such fascinating destinations as Nebraska’s Sandhills, Scotts Bluff National Monument, Chimney Rock National Historic Site, Fort Robinson State Park, Toadstool Geologic Park, and Carhenge. These are all visit-worthy, so don’t let my talk of tornadoes prevent you from going. After all, many states are said to be in “tornado alley”, and it’s just a matter of showing some common sense and caution during such warnings/storms.

In fact, next month will be a particularly busy time for tourism in western Nebraska, for it will be one of the very best places to experience the full solar eclipse that will take place on August 21. Yes, another natural phenomenon!

Milestone of generosity for 100+ Men Who Care Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a $100,000-plus milestone for a group that has spawned a generous trend of charitable sponsorship throughout the region.

100+ Men Who Care Quinte, the original 100 Who Care-style fundraising group in the region, selected San Damiano Foundation, headquartered in Madoc, as the recipient of its tenth $10,000 donation. It brings total donations wel over $100,000 with no signs of stopping, say organizers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are so grateful for this donation to support our work,â&#x20AC;? said Colleen MacAllister. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a completely volunteer run organization and these funds will go directly to services. Our services have touched tens of thousands of people.

Our youth centre in Madoc sees between 30 and 50 students coming every day for a hot meal, cool music and mentorship. We also run youth centres in Tweed and Trenton and we have two retreat cabins and a transitional residence for women in Marmora.â&#x20AC;?

Now in its 21st year, San Damiano Foundation opened its first Foundations Youth Centre in Madoc in 1996. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a man who cares, I have learned a lot about charities doing fantastic work in our community, but I was thrilled to nominate San Damiano Foundation because I know they have been quietly touching many lives, especially youth, without the level of recognition many larger charities receive,â&#x20AC;? said 100+ Men Who Care Quinte member Gary Buffett.

Now married with children of her own, Kelly Oribine says she is so grateful Foundations was there when she needed it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was 14, I was spinning out of control and the volunteers showed me love and grace when I needed it most and deserved it the least,â&#x20AC;? says Oribine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the time I had no idea how much those volunteers were going to change my life, but they did. It was there that I first felt loved and treasured.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;100+ Men Who Care Quinte is a non-organizationâ&#x20AC;? said Ian Press, one of the founding members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is informal, unregistered and it has no board, no chair, no treasurer, no bank

account, no revenue and no expenditures. It is based on the concept of simplicity - minimum input and maximum impact. Each member commits to donating $100 per meeting, four times per year. Meetings are diligently conducted in one hour or less. In that time we generate approximately $10,000 for a local charity.

A donation of this size can have a huge impact on organizations such as San Damiano Foun-

dation.â&#x20AC;?

Each meetingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nominated charities are submitted by members. Nominated charities must meet certain eligibility requirements and must serve the Quinte Region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are really pleased to support a charity headquartered in Madoc to show our support for the broader Quinte Region,â&#x20AC;? said Ken Manderville, a founding member. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was unaware of this charity before it was

brought forward as a nomination and the number of people impacted by the work or these volunteers is astounding.â&#x20AC;?

The Good Earth Consanguinity and the puzzlement of creeping ground cover

By Dan Clost Gentle Reader, shared credit for this title is given to the television show ‘Jeopardy’ and to Kate Kupecz; both are equally responsible.

This past week, youngest daughter and I were engaged in our evening contest - each trying to be the first

to answer Alex Trebek’s questions - when one of the show’s participants responded ahead of us. The correct answer was “consanguinity.”

The next evening, I had the pleasure of sharing a table with Kate during the Quinte West’s Chamber of Commerce’s Bay of Quinte Boat Cruise. We are both members and adherents to Board of Director’s members (Betty and Tom) of the Our TMH organization. During our conversation, we talked a bit about The Good Earth column and I allowed as how I enjoyed a peculiar unfacility with grammar. Kate did not disagree.

Somehow, the Jeopardy episode came up, with reference to consanguinity, and Kate suggested a similarly titled gardening column.

Instead of a genealogy based on blood-related ancestors, the plants would be lexically related by the word “blood.” So here are four for starters; feel free to expand as you will.

Dr. Suresh Appan & Associates

Dragon’s Blood stonecrop, Sedum spurium ‘Dragon’s Blood’ is a popular ground covering succulent commonly used in rock gardens, xeriscapes and containers.

It is named for the colour of the flowers. Hardy to Canadian Zone 4b, I first came across it when our next door neighbour of the day, Marion, gave me a handful of what we came to call “Marion’s Creepy-Crawling Stuff.” About a decade later, I saw the identical plant being offered for sale at the nursery. Dragon’s Blood is wellbehaved; the caution is that it is a ground cover. When you purchase a ground cover plant, GR, don’t expect it to stop at the edges of your flower bed unless you have good edging in place.

Bloodroot, Sanguinaria canadensis is a native spring-flowering plant, common in our area in woody places, flood plains and stream sides. They’re not fond of disturbed soil so, once planted; try to leave that area along. The chal-

lenge is they are short term bloomers so succession of bloom should be planned prior to using Bloodroot in the garden design.

Blood Grass, Imperata cylindrica ‘Rubra’ is a popular ornamental grass. Japanese Blood Grass, aka ‘Red Baron’ sports blades shaped similarly to quack grass with the adornment of freshly-spilled blood colouring- the colder the climate the more pronounced the colour. There is some concern, especially in Canadian Hardiness Zones of 6b and above, about invasiveness. All forms of this grass can be found in the U.S. Federal List of Noxious Weeds. Approximately 12 States have banned its sale; interestingly, New York seems to be a titch confused. ‘Rubra’ may be grown and sold there.

It may be exported to other states if those other states agree to its importation. However, it may not be imported into New York State because of its potential invasiveness.

Nice to know that administrations

everywhere can dance on the head of pin with their eyes wide shut. To my knowledge, it is yet to be shown as an aggressive plant in Canada; but, I believe within a decade or so it will be. Best advice is to grow this ornamental in containers. Mind you, you can pop those containers into the ground as long as their tops are above grade and you keep a close watch to check for roots creeping over the edge.

Acer palmatum atropurpureum ‘Bloodgood’ is the most commonly sold Japanese maple. The story is that this variety was named for the Bloodgood Nursery (circa 1793) of Long Island. Over the centuries as propagation methods became more sophisticated, along with accurate record keeping, the Bloodgood strain became more uniform.

There are still some variations in size and depth of colour but they are minimal. However, it is advisable to visit a nursery and personally select the specimen which most appeals to you.

PC Leader Brown stops in Belleville to prepare for election tour

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – A Quinte Red Devils minor hockey team had a new right-winger join them Thursday.

Ontario Progressive Conservative Party leader Patrick Brown came to the ice pad at Rhino Sports & Playland in the afternoon to practice with the team.

The event, only announced by the PCs a day earlier, was described as a photo opportunity for media and would not involve interviews. It was sandwiched quickly before a morning event near Ottawa and an evening town hall planned in Peterborough.

Brown entered the arena and chatted with players briefly, before strapping on skates and participating in drills, along with Hastings-Prince Edward’s Conservative Member of Provincial Parliament Todd Smith, as cameras watched their every move.

Smith spoke to the Belleville

News before hitting the ice and said Brown’s tour will help the party prepare for next year’s election campaign. Brown, a former MP in the Stephen Harper federal Conservative government, is now an MPP for the riding of Simcoe-North.

He’s charged with the task of ousting Ontario’s Liberal premier Kathleen Wynne and a recent poll suggests he has a good change of winning.

A Forum Research poll released last month showed that 44 per cent of Ontarians were leaning towards voting PC, compared to 23 per cent Liberal and 24 per cent NDP. Yet past polls have also suggested the majority of Ontarians don’t know Brown well enough to form an opinion on him.

Smith said the intent of the tour is to allow more Ontarians to get to know the leader.

“It’s a commitment to get out

and hit all corners of the province and talk to people right across Ontario and here first hand what their issues are and what they’d like to see from the PC party,” he said.

“It’s also an opportunity to make sure the machine is ready when the campaign rolls around.

We have a central campaign that has experience on what to expect in a campaign.”

When Smith was asked to describe his perception of Brown, he said that the new leader is “very competitive.

“He wants to see Ontario be competitive again. Ontario, unfortunately, has slipped a little bit in the standings federally over the last number of years and Patrick is a very driven guy. He sees the big issues and wants to make the changes where they’re needed and necessary.

“He’s incredibly competitively and driven. I expect that kind of tenacity is exactly what we need in a leader.”

Smith used the word “competitive” to suggest that Brown is focussed on making Ontario’s economy more competitive.

“We’ve been hearing loud and clear we’re quickly becoming an uncompetitive jurisdiction when it comes to attracting new busi-

nesses. There’s a lot of reasons for that. There’s the sky-high electricity prices, there’s also some red tape has been added that makes us hard to compete on a global basis, especially to our neighbours to the east, west and south.”

Brown will turn 40 around the

time of next year’s election, expected to be called in the spring.

While that makes him relatively young in the profession of politics, Smith believes that’s a good thing.

“Yeah, I think so,” he said.

“You need that energy. You need new ideas.”

Innuit youth enjoying summer in Quinte

BY JACK EVANS

Meeting youthful Innuit lad Matt Kunayok from Ulukhkaktok from the shores of the Arctic Ocean, the imagination reels as to how they must be taking in the radical change of scenery and culture.

Matt successfully applied for a federal-sponsored program called Northern Youth Abroad which allows Innuit young people a chance to see other parts of Canada and later, the world, as well as qualify for university education. Matt, whose hobbies include drawing and photography, was assigned a summer job at the Quinte Arts Council office by program organizers in response to his interest in arts in general and his hope to pursue a career in the arts after getting a BA. While he comes from a traditional Innuit village, population about 450, Matt’s main language is English. His village’s history has long trading traditions in copper and its appliances from nearby deposits, plus hunting, fishing and, since the Hudson Bay Company arrived on the scene, trapping. In fact, the village’s name in English means “knives for women” made of copper of course, he explained. The women used such knives to cut meat and clean pelts for clothing.

Matt said he heard about the program from some of his friends who recommended it as a great way to spend the summer. So he put together a presentation of photos and background of his community, which is on the shore of three separate bays on Victoria Island.

“I was very pleased to be accepted. My parents (His dad runs the local co-op store.) were also happy for me, but I think they miss me,” he commented.

He keeps in touch with them by cell phone. He has been too busy to be homesick yet, he said on his second day of the job in the downtown office.

The program arranges for the young people to travel in teams.

A girl from another community in the north is staying at the same billets, the home of Billie Gordon and Maggie Chung on Farley Avenue.

This is not the first time Matt has travelled. “I’ve visited Yellowknife, Whitehorse and Edmonton,” he said.

Matt said Billie gives him a

Matt Kunayok checks over his presentation he made to apply for the Northern Youth Abroad program on his laptop during a break from his summer work at the Quinte Arts Council Office. At the end of July he goes back to Ottawa for a debriefing and report on his summer then flies back to Ulukhaktok on the Arctic Ocean.

ride to work in the mornings and he is still struggling with public transportation use to get home in the evenings. The girl is working for the Salvation Army, he said. Now about to enter Grade 12, Matt hopes to qualify for the program to get to college as his summer job here is a first step in a threestage program, which then goes on to international travel.

For his first few days, Matt has been photographing

works of art and entering them on the Internet for the arts council, work he enjoys. He told of how much he enjoyed the Waterfront Festival which his billet care adults treated him to and other sight-seeing trips and thinks the area is quite beautiful.

Carol Feeney, arts council manager, said getting such assistance for free under the program is a big help for the council and its hard-pressed staff.

Art by the square foot for new show

BY JACK EVANS

The venerable Belleville Art Association’s new show could be called “square” only because each work measures one foot square.

But that did not dampen nor limit the creativity of its many dozens of members who made full use of the one foot by one foot dimensions in oils, watercolours, acrylics and subject matter ranging from fantasy to classic landscapes and still lifes. The latter category includes one eye-catching painting of a tempting slice of lemon pie topped with a huge load of meringue.

With some 100 works by close to 50 artists from senior veterans to enthusiastic newcomers, the cluttered walls of the 392 Front St. gallery and headquarters were almost overshadowed by a lunch buffet table in the middle, which competed for the art works for the dozens of visitors at the show’s official opening Thursday afternoon, July 13.

The Belleville Art Association has been around for

Barbara Harris comes all the way from Prinyers Cove in Prince Edward County to take part in Belleville Art Association activities, including displaying this, one of two works in the current new show which opened last Thursday.

Jack Evans/Metroland

more than half a century and has attracted membership from artists, many of whom could be readily classified as professional, from a radius of 50 miles or more because of the association’s reputation.

As part of its goal to promote art in the region, the gallery holds an “open studio” session every Wednesday from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30

p.m. for beginners or anyone interested, plus a variety of workshops through the year with some internationally known artists as well as local instructors.

Members may also take part in special activities, such as paint-outs, bus grips to This delightful show of 100 square feet of local art is an excellent way to spend some time if you’re downtown.

Original Theatre Festival opens in Quinte West Quinte West - Sharpen the Acts began as a way to bring more theatre to the Old Church. The venue has been garnering attention and popularity for its unique, intimate setting on a rural road just north of Trenton.

But while musical performances, beer tastings and other events suit the venue perfectly, the Roy Bonisteel Studio, created for the former CBC personality, needed to see theatre performed within its walls.

It’s a medium Roy Bonisteel was passionate about.

Brining his love of the stage to life, Bonisteel had performed in the Old Church Theatre before he died in 2013.

BY SUE DICKENS

Seymour Township – A 53-year-old local man succumbed to his injuries after being taken to Campbellford Memorial Hospital following an accident in which a 23-foot camper trailer he was working on collapsed on him.

Trent Hills Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services responded prior to police and found that family members had already raised the trailer allowing them access to the injured man.

Further cribbing was put in place by the

Fire Department at which time he was removed and transported to hospital.

Northumberland OPP had responded to a call at 2:52 p.m. on Tues., July 11 at the 11th Line West property.

Police determined that the man was working on supports underneath the trailer when they suddenly became unstable and collapsed.

Investigators consider the incident not suspicious in nature and no foul play is suspected.

Name withheld pending next-of-kin notification.

CLINE, Teresa Mary (nee Hennessey) Born on Prince Edward Island on October 3, 1936. Passed away peacefully on May 10, 2017 in Victoria, BC after a short illness.

Teresa moved from PEI to Toronto where she met her husband Bernie at the open air skating rink in front of city hall. After several years in Toronto, the family moved to Brighton, where Teresa’s outgoing spirit allowed her to embrace the community and forge many lifelong friendships. Her love of family was never more apparent than when she was following her family to almost every arena and baseball diamond in Ontario.

In 1980, Teresa and Bernie moved to BC, where they eventually retired to a very busy life of travel and Bluegrass Festivals.

Teresa will be lovingly remembered by her husband, Bernie, daughter, Donna (Mike), son Michael (Karen), and the most recent love of her life, her grandson, Dante; as well as many family and friends throughout North America.

A Celebration of Life is being held on Sunday, July 23, from 2-5pm at Saxe Point Park, Victoria, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Victoria Bluegrass Assoc., (treasurer@victoriabluegrass.ca)

‘Eating clean’ helped Incredible Edibles speaker recover from Lyme disease in water ... (and) processed foods,” he said. “You really need to strengthen your gut.”

Today, Lawrence, his wife Patty, their oldest son Tyler and his wife Lindy operate Sweet Dream Food on their Dare 2 Dream Farm near Kendal, east of the Village of Newcastle.

A food processing plant they built on the farm produces the many distinctive vinegars, mustards, honeys, and maple syrup products their business sells, including the “first ever maple vinegar.”

Sweet Dream's liquid honey placed first overall at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto earlier this year.

Lawrence said he still has “some issues” with his health, such as “serious brain fog” three to four days a month, but no more joint pain or asthma.

His vision has gone in one eye “only because they did so many surgeries,” he said.

His advice to people receiving health care is to “make sure they treat causes, not symptoms,” he said. Do that and “you won't be on multiple medications.”

JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford - Twelve years ago Steve Lawrence's body “started shutting down.”

He developed cataracts, suffered from severe asthma and rheumatoid arthritis, showed symptoms of heart problems, and began exhibiting signs of an early onset of Alzheimer's disease.

He saw several specialists but “they didn't know what it was ... they just gave up on me, they said you're done,” Lawrence said in an interview and subsequent presentation at the Incredible Edibles Food Festival July 8.

In 2009 he was told he had two years to live.

Then one day he was handed a pamphlet about Lyme disease.

He read the symptoms and “went check, check, check, check all the way down” and knew he had his answer: It was a bacterial infection that had turned his life upside-down.

Lawrence followed up by doing his own research and confirmed his suspicion by sending a blood sample to California for testing.

“It came back strongly positive for Lyme disease and I started the road to recovery,” he said. “It took me a good three years and I'm about 99 per cent symptom-free now.”

STEVE LAWRENCE

Helping to make his recovery possible “was knowing where my food came from,” he said.

“You got to make your body strong so your body can fight,” Lawrence said. “It's not just about throwing a bunch of antibiotics at (a disease) and knocking it out, and you're good forever. You've got to actually look after your body.”

Given “the right tools, your body will heal itself,” Lawrence said. “It was all about eating clean” and

Parks minister raises ‘blue flag’ at Sandbanks beach

BY JACK EVANS

Sandbanks Park-If Ontario’s Minister of Lands and Forests raises a blue flag over the Outlet Beach here, what does it mean?

(Like and share if you know. – Hints: it has nothing to do with politics, body or cleaning products or bug killers.)

Whether you know what it means or not, the blue flag was well and truly raised right across the road from the Park Store Wednesday of last week signifying that the popular Prince Edward County beach is one of the best in the world, one of about 25 blue flag beaches and/or marinas across Ontario this year, also one of some 4,000 now flying across 47 countries under a program started in 1987.

The program, Blue Flag Canada’s Britt Tryon and Sandbanks Park officials explained, involves far more than a tidy beach.

um to the water in recognition of accessibility for wheelchairs.

“I am excited to be here to celebrate the first Blue Flag award for Outlet Beach. Sandbanks joins Wasaga as Ontario’s second provincial park to receive this prestigious award.” She called it “the international seal of approval for a beach or marina. A beach has to meet a set of 33 criteria covering environmental education, water quality, environmental management, safety and accessibility.

Tryon added: “I would like to thank Minister McGarry and the Ministry of Natural Resources for supporting the Blue Flag initiative at Sandbanks Park.

We look forward to seeing more Ontario Parks flying the Blue Flag in the future.”

Also attending were MPP Todd Smith and Prince Edward County Mayor Robert Quaiff, who said: ”Such recognition goes to help the entire tourist industry spectrum in the county.” He noted Sandbanks alone drew some 800,000 visitors last year.

Sandbanks is the most profitable park in Ontario, Reilly confirmed, and the proceeds go toward improvements and conservation at parks across the province.

One park staffer also quipped that, in spite of continued flooding problems, “There are still a few campsites available – if you bring your own houseboat.”

Local journo-produced long-form doc airs on TVO July 27 A local print journalist is branching out.

TVO presents a documentary about murder, betrayal, and the affect of violence on Toronto’s roughest neighborhoods. The film, billed as “one of the channel’s highlights for the month of July,” was produced by local journalist Jason Miller.

On Wednesday July 26, at 9pm, TVO will broadcast the premiere of the public provincial network’s first long-form documentary, “Some Sort of Judas”, produced by Belleville Intelligencer reporter Jason Miller. The story follows Kevin Williams, known to many as Toronto underground rapper Mayhem Morearty.

In 2015, Williams became the star witness in the Crown’s case against former friend, collaborator, and musical cohort Mark Moore. Moore would go on to be convicted for the brutal deaths of four innocent men.

The film will also be available to stream on TVO’s website starting July 27. Repeat broadcasts are on July 27 at 10 p.m. and July 30 at 9 p.m.

An overview of the doc: “Kevin Williams and Mark Moore grew up in “The Jungle”, the violent neighborhood of Lawrence Heights, sandwiched between the Allen Expressway and Yorkdale Mall. Growing up they knew one truth – talking to the cops can get you killed.

“In the fall of 2010, Kevin witnessed Mark Moore gun down Courthney Facey and Mike James, two innocent teenagers. The murders were part of a killing spree that would see four men die at the muzzle of Moore’s 9mm. In the following year, Williams would commit the cardinal sin, in his world, of becoming a star witness in the Crown’s case against Moore. While Williams’ testimony would help put Toronto’s only bona fide serial killer behind bars, the man known as Mayhem, had now turned Judas. For his crimes against the streets that raised him, he became a marked man, forced into protective custody.

“From exile in an unnamed location, Kevin Williams unspools a complex story of betrayal; betrayal between friends, community, and by the institutions that are supposed to keep the peace.”

Asbestos is the leading cause of workplace death in Canada, with approximately 1,900 lung cancers and 430 mesotheliomas attributed to occupational asbestos exposure each year. In 2016, the federal government decided to ban the manufacture, use, import and export of asbestos in Canada by 2018. This was great news for Canadians as all forms of asbestos cause cancer and there’s no known safe level of exposure.

Trent Hills to consider changing rules to allow livestock on smaller lots

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Trent Hills - The minimum amount of rural land needed to keep livestock in the municipality is 25 acres, but that could change.

Council made clear several years ago it didn't want chickens in urban areas but it indicated then it would look at amending zoning regulations to permit a small number of livestock on smaller rural lots.

It's become an issue again in recent months and director of planning Jim Peters asked for council's input at its last meeting, as “it's been the direction of council to try to allow this”.

“We're getting this question all the time ... (and) we need to address it somehow. It's just a matter of how far do we go and how quickly do we get there.”

Peters said there have been “a lot of real estate inquiries” about keeping animals on smaller lots, “but we also have people ... (who) right now are totally out of compliance (and) we're working on bringing them into compliance”.

The planner said it's “difficult to create a set of general requirements that will work because of the variety of situations that exist,” adding: “There have been two-acre parcels where horses were kept without impact.”

After researching “existing situations and the approach taken by other jurisdictions”, Peters made a number of recommendations for council to consider, including no livestock to be permitted on a rural residential lot smaller than two acres, and for livestock to be kept on larger lots at least one acre must be set aside for pasture land with a building

at least 100 metres from any neighbouring dwelling.

He also suggested limits on the number of animals: no more than six per acre of rabbits, chickens (hens only), geese, or turkeys on lots between two and five acres, with six being the maximum for a two-acre lot.

For sheep, goats, llamas, and ostriches, Peters proposed a limit of three per acre (and no more than three for a two-acre property).

He recommended the minimum lot size for cows and horses be five acres, with a minimum of one acre of pasture per animal, to a maximum of three animals.

The number could increase at a rate of six small, three medium, or one large animal per acre of pasture land available.

Peters also suggested property owners wanting to keep livestock be required to pur-

chase a licence annually, as kennel owners do.

Councillor Cathy Redden expressed support of the planner's recommendations, saying she'd “sooner live next door to a few chickens and some bunny rabbits” than a dog kennel.

However, she wondered who is going to make sure residents' concerns “are addressed in a timely manner before people start having range wars”.

Peters said an inspection would be done annually by staff to ensure compliance before a licence is renewed.

Mayor Hector Macmillan said staff are “on the right track”.

Council directed staff to prepare the necessary bylaw amendment.
