News - Quinte West - Changes are being made to make the next municipal election more accessible. “There will be accessible power doors installed in the public washrooms in city hall,” said Bob Forder, manager of building and facilities. There will also be accessible power doors installed in the doorway between pad 1 and 2 at the Duncan MacDonald Memorial Arena, the washrooms and the front door at the Batawa Community Centre. Heath told the Accessibility Advisory Committee he is working on the issue of the front entrance to city hall and hopes to have that resolved by spring. He also showed the committee the new accessible counters put in place at the front entrance. The committee suggested there be a bigger ledge on the counters so a taller wheelchair could fit underneath. Kevin Heath, manager of Corporate Services/city clerk, informed the committee that any inquiries regarding accessibility to public facilities, services and other accessibility issues from the public be directed to him. He will be working with AnneMarie Cunningham to address these issues. Heath noted the 2014 election will include Internet voting for the first time. Currently listed as running for Quinte West council are: Jim Harrison for mayor, Duncan Armstrong for Trenton Ward, Jeff Brophy for Frankford, Fred Kuypers for Trenton, David McCue for Murray, Allan DeWitt for Sidney, Roger Dinner for Murray. School boards trustees that have filed are: Jim Williams for Hastings & Prince Edward District School Board, Michael Ross for Le Conseil Scolaire de District Du Centre-Sud-Quest, and John Brisbois for Algonquin & Lakeshore Catholic District School Board. There are five councillor seats in Trenton Ward, four in Sidney, two in Murray and one in Frankford.

Committee approves rezoning despite staff recommendation By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - The Planning Advisory Committee has approved a rezoning of land in Sidney Ward at 106 Huffman Road from A1 Agriculture to R2-Residential. The recommendation from planning staff was to deny the application. “It’s not consistent with Provincial Policy and the Ofﬁcial Plan,” said manager of planning Jennifer Current. Jamie O’Shea, agent for property owners Maria Vreugdenhil and Corey McPherson, told the committee the plan will allow two new lots, then after demolishing an existing home, another could be built as well. “This would create three new houses,” he said.

He noted they will upgrade Huffman Road and pay for the cost of extending water and sewer services. “The slight extension on the boundary is minor,” he said. “This is a future development area.” Jim Harrison noted the original application did not mention demolishing an existing old house on the property. Brian Jardine, director of planning, said that issue was not raised. He said one of the biggest challenges is to hold ﬁrm to policy. “We have to draw a line in the sand,” he said. “We have to hold ﬁrm on urban areas policy or we will get more of these.” Jim Alyea asked if the application had received approval from the committee of

adjustment. Jardine said they recommended approval. Keith Reid commented the proposal is not taking anything away from farmland but is adding a whole new row of homes. Jim Harrison recommended approval. “We have to be sensible,” he said. “It all ﬁts in with the landscape to the east. This is new tax dollars for the city.” O’Shea said there would be a deﬁnite improvement to the landscape. Harrison said they respect the staff position and try to work with them. The property is a total of one acre with 171 feet of frontage on Huffman Road. The effect of the amendment is to facilitate two severances by permitting residential

development on full municipal services. Single detached dwellings are proposed for each of the severed and retained lots. The Provincial Policy Statement permits limited residential development in rural areas provided it is appropriate to the infrastructure which is available or planned. Municipal services would have to be extended along the road allowance to service the new lots. The Ofﬁcial Plan does not allow undersized rural residential lots which must have a minimum lot size and frontage. The lots do not meet the intent of the Sidney Zoning bylaw. However, the committee approved the application which has yet to meet ﬁnal approval from council March 17.

naga and Environs (CCCTE), Bossio and the CCCTE have been in a 15 year battle with the largest waste company in the world, Waste Management Corporation (WM), who propose building a massive landfill on vertically and horizontally fractured limestone. If successful in his bid to be the local candidate for the Liberals, Bossio says he is anxious to take on whoever the standard-bearer for the Conservative Party may be. “It’s hard to know where to start with a critique of the Harper government,” says Bossio. “Our democratic institutions have been undermined, inequality is on the rise, our vets are treated poorly, our environmental laws are being gutted, omnibus bills make Parliamentary oversight virtually impossible and the government has been one of the most secretive and obstructive in memory. Remember that this was a government that rode into power on a claim of providing greater accountability and transparency.” Bossio says he has already started building a team for his nomination bid and intends to reach out to as many communities as he can in a Riding that stretches from Amherstview in the south to past Bancroft in the north.

News - The new Electoral District of Hastings-Lennox and Addington won’t have to wait long to see who is interested in being the local standard bearer for the Liberals in the federal election expected in October 2015. Mike Bossio, a community activist and business consultant from the Tyendinaga region, announced his intention Wednesday evening to seek the nomination for the Liberal Party in Hastings Lennox and Addington before a standing room only crowd of family, friends and supporters gathered to cheer him on at the Women’s Institute in Lonsdale. The 53-year-old father of two children, Bossio says that we owe it to the next generation to continue our efforts to build a better Canada. “My parents and grandparents understood the importance of sacrifice, and working together for the common good. That’s the kind of Canada I want for my children” “I also think that it is important that our MP be more than just the representative for the riding. People need to know you will also fight for them.” Bossio is no stranger to fighting for local causes. As one of the founding members of the Concerned Citizens Committee of Tyendi-

When is a drainage ditch a wetland? News - Quinte West - The Planning Advisory Committee has approved a rezoning amendment for property owned by Frank Vreugdenhil at 1643 County Road 5, in Murray Ward. “The rezoning is from Restricted Rural (A1) Zone to Special General Residential (R-38),” notes manager of planning services Jennifer Current.

The lands have a total lot area of one acre (.4 hectares) with 85 feet (25 metres) frontage on County Road 5. The applicant applied for a lot addition to add 7.2 acres to a neighbouring 42.7acre property resulting in a one-acre retained parcel. “He is severing off a piece of property in Stockdale,” Current said. Jim Harrison asked if there has been any water

Healthy Community Partnerships supported by council By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - The city is supporting healthy communities. After a recent council presentation the city signed a declaration that all communities in Hastings and Prince Edward counties have the right to optimal health. “A healthy community is one where everyone has opportunities for health,” said Susan Kiley Mullaly who spoke with Tanya Hill and Pat Sukha from the Healthy Community Partnerships for Hastings and Prince Edward Counties. “A healthy community has a strong local food system, a clean environment and opportunities to be active,” she said. “It offers strong social networks, options for transportation, housing, employment, education and health care. When decisions are made to improve these features, the health of the people who live there improves as well.”

Health in all policies includes governments sharing responsibility to support the health of a community. Community leaders, businesses and interest groups and residents place value on health for all. Combined efforts create synergy for achieving mutual benefits. “The purpose of this declaration is to invite municipal councils, community organizations and citizens to endorse these principles. “The quality of life, the wellbeing of all residents is a key element of health,” she said. “All sectors can shape the health of a community and should work together.” She said good health is a basic human right and physical, social and economic barriers must be removed to ensure equity in health for all. “We commit ourselves to promote the principles of health in all policies.”

Surveys taken in Quinte West showed that most residents agreed that it is important for the city to invest in infrastructure improvements that provide more opportunities for active transportation. Roads should be safe and attractive to cyclists, pedestrians and public transit. It is important to make the streets safe for children and youth to walk or ride their bikes to school. Most residents agreed that the city needs to develop outdoor recreational spaces within or near new housing developments. Low-cost recreational programs are important especially for those over 65. The city needs to develop a plan to build parks, trails and natural areas so residents can have more active outdoor opportunities. People should be allowed to use school gyms or fields for sports and recreation. Most residents agreed that the city needs to help farmers sell their food at a wider range of locations such as farmers’ markets. The city should encourage more produce sold along rural roads, as well as along public transit routes. The city needs to develop community gardens.

the completion of the Environmental Impact Study (EIS) that the proposed development would have no impact on the natural feature or its ecological function.” She said that since no development is proposed on these lands at this time an EIS is not required. Lower Trent Conservation has indicated that the watercourse/drainage ditch and small pond forms a meadow marsh wetland community. The applicant retained an Environmental Consultant to undertake a Wetland Assessment and submitted a report in October 2013 to LTC. This report concluded that because of the small size and lack of ecological function the wetland feature did not warrant preservation. Comments from the LTC in November disagreed with the report conclusion and indicated that LTC staff are not supportive of the feature being removed. The applicant has decided not to pursue residential development of the severed lands at this time and has requested that these lands remain in the A1 zone as it is his intention to continue to farm his property. The Quinte West Official Plan had also identified a provincial significant wetland on the southern portion of the recipient parcel, which needs to be preserved and protected.

Harrison noted they would be working with Lower Trent Conservation. O’Shea said that has been a problem. “Engineering firms are dealing with the wet area,” he said. “That has been a bit of a thorn in our side. We need a little more give and take.” A watercourse/drainage ditch and a small pond are located on the proposed severed parcel. An existing dwelling and accessory structure are located on the retained lot. “The surrounding area primarily consists of residential land uses within the hamlet of Stockdale,” Current notes. “The severed lands have previously been used for agricultural production and the applicant has indicated that he intends to continue to farm the severed lands.” The parcel is a vacant property and the southern boundary is formed by Cold Creek. “There is a provincially significant wetland located on the southern portion of the recipient parcel,” Current adds. “Section 2 of the Provincial Policy Statement prohibits development within a provincially significant wetland and allows for development within the 120-metre adjacent lands only if it has been demonstrated through

Connected to your community OPINION Ukraine after the revolution Editorial – From a Ukrainian point of view, the priority is not to throw their revolution away again like they did after the Orange Revolution ten years ago. But from everybody else’s point of view, the priority now is to avoid an irreparable breach between Russia and the West. One Cold War was enough. The Yanukovych era is finished; the former president will not make another come-back. He has killed too many Gwynne Dyer people, and the vulgar ostentation of his former palace (whose architect understandably chose to remain anonymous) has shocked Ukrainians even though they already knew he was deeply corrupt. Besides, Russia will not bet on this horse again. On the other hand, the various opposition leaders will have great difficulty in deciding who leads their coalition, if indeed they can even agree on a coalition before the promised election on May 25. But they’ll still win the election, because Yanukovych never allowed any plausible rivals to emerge in his pro-Russian Party of the Regions, and Russia will not be able to find and groom a suitable replacement in time. This will frustrate people in the Russian-speaking east and south of the country, who did not take part in this revolution and do not share the desire of the Ukrainian-speaking half for closer ties with the European Union. They worry that free trade with the EU will threaten their jobs, and it will require much tact to reassure them that their interests will be protected. But they will not split the country: very few Ukrainians want to be part of Russia. Who will emerge as Ukraine’s next leader? Yulia Tymoshenko, newly released from prison, is the obvious choice, and that would certainly ease matters on the Russian front. She got along reasonably well with Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, when she was prime minister last time. But many Ukrainians who backed the revolution don’t trust her. Tymoshenko is dogged by questions about how she got so rich after the Soviet Union collapsed, and she bears some of the blame for the chronic in-fighting that discredited Ukraine’s first attempt at running a democratic government after the Orange Revolution of 2004. None of the other potential candidates, however, is acceptable to Putin.

The best that can be hoped for in the short run, therefore, is a cold peace between Kiev and Moscow, which means that the $15 billion Putin promised to lend Yanukovych’s regime will not now be forthcoming. But the money has to come from somewhere, and the only alternative is the West, probably in the shape of the International Monetary Fund. It is not clear if the United States and the EU are willing to come up with that kind of money. If not, then the upheavals in Ukraine will resume in fairly short order. And in either case Putin will work to sabotage the attempt to entrench a strong democratic system with effective anti-corruption laws in Ukraine. President Barack Obama can tell Putin that Ukraine is not a square on a Cold War chessboard, but the Russian president does see it as a zero-sum game, and in terms of his own purposes he is right. His pet project to restore the Soviet Union in a non-Communist version by creating a “Eurasian Union”, for example, dwindles to nothing but Russia and a bunch of Central Asian dictatorships if Ukraine isn’t a part of it. More importantly, Putin does not want to have a large, prosperous and democratic country with strong EU ties on Russia’s own border. Especially if it is another Slavic country that also used to be part of the Soviet Union, and it got its democracy as the result of a largely non-violent revolution carried out in the main square of the capital city. The example would be very dangerous to his regime. There’s no risk of that sort of thing happening on Red Square in Moscow at the moment, but Putin thinks long term. Russia will therefore continue to meddle in Ukraine in an attempt to abort such a dangerous outcome. Confronting Moscow directly over this sort of thing would be a mistake, and could lead us all down the path that ends in a new Cold War. Russians, for historical reasons, do not see themselves as “outsiders” in Ukraine (although most Ukrainians do), and they will react very badly to attempts to exclude them entirely. The better and safer path is to support the Ukrainians with trade and aid, but leave it to them to deal with Russian interference in their politics. They are perfectly capable of doing this for themselves, and they can also prosper without joining either the European Union or NATO. But they do need a whopping great loan, right now.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Let’s dismantle the whole thing Dear Editor Sorry being a bit late in this response, but I would like comment on Wyley Canuck’s recent letter on the subject of the so-called smart meters. I believe it is essential to recall who started us down this perilous path of high electrical rates. I would like to point out that it was an individual I prefer to call “Mad Maniac Mike Harris”, that got us started down the road when he tried to privatize our electrical system. It was he who divided Ontario Hydro into Ontario Power Authority and Hydro One, separating generation from supply. It was he who decided what the salary range was to be for the management staff at OPA, also their benefit package and worst of all their severance package! We all recall that they had to fire one of these managers because she sent her children to school in a government owned limo! Obviously the managers at Hydro One got similar cozy deals. He also set up the Independent Electrical Operator, who was to set the daily rate for electricity. While this organization is now obsolete, it is still operating. At the same time, the four evil sisters of future power production, namely nuclear, natural gas, wind and solar produc-

ers made up the lie that coal-fired plants could not be made pollution free. However even Dwight Duncan, when he was finance minister, had to admit that indeed coal-fired plants could be made pollution-free, but the cost was prohibitive! The fact is that even if all the coal-fired plants in Ontario shut down, we will still be getting most of our smog from the coalfired plants in the U.S. A similar lie was concocted that plants that incinerate garbage will all cause large amounts of pollution. The Swedes have proved that one to be totally false and have in fact turned a very polluted area into one of the greenest by incinerating their garbage, producing a great amount of electrical power at a much lower cost and providing large amounts of heat for surrounding industrial plants. Our problem is the fact that dozy dopey Dalton, instead of reversing the process started by Mad Mike, has made them even worse with the Green Energy Plan. So I guess we will all have to vote for a political party that promises to dismantle the whole ugly set up. John A.D.McLean, Belleville

To sleep or not to sleep By Terry Bush Editorial – Some days I wish I was a dentist. Pulling teeth can’t be as difficult as trying to write a column when your mind is blank. The thing is, for some reason I just haven’t been able to string a few sentences together lately and I can’t quite figure out the reason why. Maybe it’s because I’m getting older and sleeping less. I’ve often been told that the older you are, the less sleep you require. Obviously, this was said by someone who has no trouble sleeping. I’m really starting to hate those people. Not my wife, of course, who is as adept as anyone when it comes to closing her eyes and working up a little moisture on the pillow in a few minutes’ time. I’m just baffled by folks who can close their eyes and instantly fall asleep. My mother-in-law can announce, “Now, we have a nap” in her heavily accented English and true to her word within two minutes she’s sitting there in her armchair with her mouth wide open, sawing a couple of logs. A less than perfect son-in-law would probably wake her up to help her out with her English and correct her use of pronouns. Marian’s mother, you said “Now we have a nap.” You should be using the first person singular “I” instead of “we” because you’re the only one snoring in the living room right now. As I’ve said before, after close to 30 years of Mare’s mother calling the house and announcing, “Hallo, this is Marian’s mother,” who am I to argue if that’s what she wants me to call her. I call her Marian’s mother and she calls me Marian’s hoosbund. I actually think it’s very nice of her to make an effort not to confuse me on the phone. I never have to worry which 91-year-old Dutch lady I’m speaking with when I pick up thanks to her impeccable telephone etiquette. Now if I could just get those other nonagenarians to say who they are before I make a fool of myself... Anyway, I can’t remember the last time I had seven solid hours of sleep. It’s gotten so bad over the past couple of years that I’ve had to resort to sleeping pills, not that they work either. Now there was a time that a shot of brandy before bed was thought to help but since my recent illness, I’ve stopped drinking completely. Not that I’ve ever been one to go through more than two cases of beer a year but I do remember a few times I’ve had a few and hit the sack only to be rudely awakened by my brain at 3 a.m. Funny how booze works. Never a problem getting to sleep but always a problem staying asleep when you have a snoot full. There’s just something about 3 a.m. that’s always haunted me and through my constant complaining at work about waking up at this ungodly hour, I’ve learned that many people are roaming their homes at the very same time. In my teenage years and early twenties, 3 a.m. was when I went to bed but back then, sleeping in to noon was also an option. So why do a large portion of our office staff wake up at that same hour and why do we all say we should call each other up in the middle of the night, but never do? It’s not like we really have to worry about our spouses. They’d just wake up and fall right back to sleep. I’d prefer gabbing with others in the wee hours of the morning to solving the world’s problems all by myself. Considering what a long cold winter we’ve had with everyone holed up inside, the problems facing mankind must be almost completely out of control. I haven’t seen my usual world problem solving buddy Elmer down the road for close to half a year, at least since the snow started to fly. The closest I’ve come to a visit is seeing his smouldering burn barrel once or twice. No wonder things are getting out of control in Ukraine. There certainly weren’t any world problems for at least a week after our last gabfest back in the summer. Anyway, back to starting a 3 a.m. club to solve the world’s problems while most people are sleeping. How about tonight we all concentrate on one thing when we wake up. By using a form of group think, maybe we can convince our sleeping neighbours that Ontario’s “no driving while using a cell phone” laws actually do apply to them as well as the rest of us. I pass at least three people each and every day, gabbing away or texting behind the wheel, oblivious to the rest of the motoring public. All together now, please don’t text and drive, please don’t talk and drive, please pull over…ah, screw it. Just put down your darn phones or we’ll get your license number and call the cops.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The Olympics are over, now it is back to work! suggestions and a new Elections Act can be railroaded through parliament that actually guts the power of the commissioner, does nothing to control ‘robo calls’ and yet is being sold as progressive and protective legislation. We all know what happened to Mr. Harper’s promised Senate reform and he has since packed that forum with nonelected cronies so that any sober second thoughts from that chamber are unlikely to arise. His promised transparent government has instead been replaced by a repressive regime that seeks to muzzle the CBC and our civil servants, or fires and attempts to discredit scientists whose findings point out the errors of his policies. These roadblocks to his Messianic vision of a Canada ruled by sterile economists tied to the almighty

dollar and to international cartels, are being swept away by draconian legislation and funding cuts. Now, emboldened by his ‘success’ in Europe, and despite strong opposition (mirrored in Australia and even in USA), Stephen Harper is embarking on a secret, global pact that would allow corporations to sue the Canadian government for billions, just for passing laws to protect our health or the environment. You would think he’d have had second thoughts after seeing the multi-million dollar claims by US corporations brought under NAFTA, when Canada legislated to protect its citizens against their depredations. This deal, the TPP (Trans Pacific Partnership), is like the disastrous Canada-China FIPA trade pact on

Legion gets ready for annual Public Speaking contest By Kate Everson

News - Trenton - The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 110 is once again looking forward to continued participation in its annual Youth Public Speaking Contest to be held March 22 at Trenton High School. Youth educator Manny Raspberry says the program has already been sent out to local schools. “The Youth Public Speaking Contest is part of our Legion’s Youth and Education program and is meant to give young people an opportunity to speak in public,” he says. All 17 Quinte West schools have received a comprehensive package including rules and regulations, registration requirements and specific speaking times (Primary and Intermediate speakers 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and Junior and Senior speakers 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. As all of the judges will be bilingual, English and French speakers will compete within the same contest at all levels. “Last year we had 45 contestants from 16 of our 17 Quinte West schools; this year we are hoping to have all 17 schools,” Raspberry says. Last year’s winners were: Primary Division Grades 1-3 - Molly Ferguson from St. Mary’s Catholic School who spoke on Pioneer Life. Junior Division Grades 4-6 - Maitland Galetzka from St Mary’s Catholic School who spoke on Elvis Presley.

steroids. Harper and his trade minister are refusing to make the deal public, although corporate lobbyists seem to be getting the inside track, making it hard to know just what’s in the TPP. But leaks so far indicate this is bad news. That’s why Harper wants it to stay confidential. He’d prefer to quietly sign away our rights without a big fuss. The 30,000 word intellectual property chapter alone contains proposals to increase the term of patents, including medical patents, beyond 20 years, and lower global standards for patentability. It also pushes for aggressive measures to prevent hackers breaking copyright protection, although that comes with some exceptions: protection can be broken in the course of “lawfully authorized activities carried

All winners participated in the Legion Zone Championships held in Port Perry and represented themselves and the local Legion extremely well. Winners in the two categories will be announced and all participants presented with their awards at the end of this competition with the speeches beginning immediately following registration. Speech times will be three to five minutes for Grades 1 to 9 and five to seven minutes for Grades 9 to 12. “For each category, we can accept a maximum of two students per class per school,” Manny says. The contestants that achieve first place in each category at this competition will represent our Legion at the Zone level which will be held 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, March 29, 2014, at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 187 in Colborne Ontario.

These secret meetings in Singapore are happening right now. Harper wants us to believe the 12-country TransPacific Partnership (TPP) is all about getting a better deal for Canada.

Dear Editor, In Stephen Harper’s government (not the Canadian government) it has never really stopped. It continues to brainwash us with TV and media ads. (Some for non-existent programs). These are paid for with our taxes all with the intention of tweaking the facts and diverting us from the ongoing litany of scandals and mismanagement we have suffered under Stephen Harper. This Conservative government has managed to subvert the democratic principles that have served us so well for generations that it can ram through ‘Omnibus bills’ that further entrench their power base, while denying the opposition and the electorate any input. The Finance Minister can imperiously state that he won’t discuss any external

A taste of the real world for students

By Steve Jessel

News – Belleville – While a recent competition for high school students at Loyalist College may only have lasted a day, college staff say they hope the lessons learned can last a lifetime. “We want to promote excitement and interest in learning,” said Ann Drennan, Loyalist Dean of Applied Sciences, Skills and Technology. “It gets the students through the door to experience the college environment, gives them a chance to work with college faculty and perhaps eases some of their fears of coming to college.” Skills Loyalist is an annual competition at the college that sees high school students from four regional school boards - Hastings and Prince Edward, Algonquin, Limestone, and Kawartha - visit the college for a special one-day competition. Students can participate in one of seven different areas: automotive, two-person carpentry, four-person carpentry, aesthetics, photography, pre-

cision machinery, or welding, and spend the day performing various tasks and assignments on which they are later judged. Up for grabs was a $1,000 prize for the winning students in each category, and each had their own specific set of criteria used to judge participants. The event was sponsored by Trenval. “The competition helps with the learning of real life skills such as working under pressure, having to work with limited results, having to work on problems as part of a team and teaching the ability to think on their feet,” Drennan said. Some projects students worked on included children’s playhouses in carpentry, photo-taking exercises around the college grounds in photography, and manicures, pedicures and facials in aesthetics. In precision machinery, Engineering Technician Jeremy Braithwaite said students were working on lathe machines to produce two specific pieces - a nut and a shaft that were meant to be

threaded together. Students were judged not only on the quality of their workmanship, but also on their application of proper techniques and on a mock interview for a fake position in their field. “We want it to be enjoyable and fun for them, it’s not necessarily supposed to be a stressful, nerve wracking day, we want them to remember Loyalist College as a fun place to learn.” Trenton High School teacher Corey Phillips said that while his students were initially nervous about the competition, they seemed to grow more comfortable as the day went on with the help and guidance of Loyalist staff. Phillips brought 11 students to participate in the aesthetics portion of the Skills Loyalist competition. “This gives them an opportunity to see what real life is like. It’s taking the skills that they learn in the school, and putting it all together to be able to compete against other students. It’s really about application.”

When the dust had settled, several Belleville students walked away with top honours in their categories. In automotive, Centennial’s Ben Anthony took home top honours; in two-man carpentry Tom Fitzpatrick and Zachary Bridge-

water from Bayside shared first place; in four-man carpentry the quartet of Adam DeJong, Russell McKenny, Brad Cook and Cody Tolls came in first, and in welding Jacob Hollett of Bayside came out the winner.

They had to line up, then when they got in it was too crowded.” As well as more space, the Batawa show will have more vendors. “They come from all over,” Bill says. “Ottawa, Toronto, Oshawa, up near Bancroft, all over the place.”

He said they had a fishing and hunting show in Batawa last fall and it attracted some new people. It had firearms and hunting clothing as well as fishing equipment. He is hoping some of the same people will show up at the spring show and come back again in the fall. “We are hoping to have our spring and fall shows both in Batawa,” he said. “It works out well.” The fall show is held the weekend of September 20. Also new this year is the barbecue put on by Mathew Weller which includes pulled pork, sausages, breakfast and salads. “He’s good,” Bill says. “He sold out at the fall show.” Bill notes this allows members of the Kinsmen Club, men and women, to focus on the show, not the cooking. “Somebody else runs it so we aren’t tied up,” he said. The club has 16 members and all the proceeds go to helping the community, such as the Christmas Toy Drive. Brian Barnes is the president. “We all work together,” he says. “We’re really excited about the fishing equipment show. We’ve had people calling about it. A lot of the vendors are coming back. They’re happy.” Bill has been doing the show for the past seven years and says he loves doing it. He goes to other shows and lets people know about this one. “I hope the word gets out,” he says. “It keeps growing every year.” The show runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on March 2. Call Bill at 613394-4234 for more information. There is also a link on Facebook for the Kinsmen Club Trenton.

United Way announces funding allocation By Steve Jessel

News – Belleville – It was a banner year for the United Way of Quinte annual fundraising campaign, and this past week the organization’s board of directors approved more than $1.2 million in funding to 70 programs and 43 agencies in the Quinte region. If it were not for the generosity of the community, we wouldn’t have the ability to raise the funds that we did,” said United Way of Quinte community resources director Amy Watkins. “We had a banner year, we’re very excited with the success of our campaign and that speaks to the generosity of the community.” United Way ofﬁcials announced they had raised just over $2 million at their funding celebration in January, but ﬁnal decisions on which agencies would receive funding were only made in recent weeks. From December until February, allocation volunteers drawn from the community undertook comprehensive reviews of the more than 70 applications for over $1.5 million in funding, conducting site visits and judging applications based on a number of criteria, including governance, health and well-being of an organization, the need for funding, the merits of the programs, and the needs of the city. Watkins said the practice of recruiting allocation volunteers with a wide range of skills and experience from the community means that essentially, the community can decide where the funds end up.

“The funds are raised by the community through donors, and so we feel it’s important that donors and community members are also the ones that are reviewing those applications,” Watkins said.

“The funds are raised by the community through donors, and so we feel it’s important that donors and community members are also the ones that are reviewing those applications.” Final amounts and speciﬁc agencies selected this year will be announced later this week as they are in the process of being notiﬁed, but Watkins offered several examples of funding in 2014. Watkins said the Canadian Mental Health Association, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Deseronto Transit, Community Living Belleville & Area and the John Howard Society as agencies receiving funding in 2014, with Community Living Belleville & Area and the John Howard Society new recipients in 2014. “Community Living and the John Howard have two really innovative programs that spoke to a need in the com-

munity,” Watkins said. Approximately 86 cents of every dollar raised by the campaign is allocated to community agencies, and the United Way also funds a number of social programs as well, including the Good Backpack Program, 211, Day of Caring, Doc Fest, Transportation Services and the Poverty Challenge among others. These social programs make up 11 per cent of the United Way budget. A United

Way release states that with their continued success, the United Way of Quinte’s has established additional grant streams to allow any social service agency within Hastings and Prince Edward County to apply for small grants twice per year, focusing on areas such as community collaboration and organizational capacity. This accounts for three per cent of their budget. An additional nine per cent of funds raised by the campaign were dollars speciﬁcally

designated to other charities. “Although many organizations were successful in receiving funding from United Way of Quinte there were some agencies that were not and there were others that received less than what they had applied for,” said organization executive director Judi Gilbert. “For those agencies we certainly encourage them to reapply for future funding as needs in our communities change and with that so does the funding.”

Cooney running for second term News – Stirling – Stirling-Rawdon Mayor Rodney Cooney is the first member of council here to file nomination papers for the upcoming fall municipal election.

Floods possible says Quinte Conservation By Steve Jessel

News – Belleville – The Quinte area has been hit with an unusually large amount of snow this winter, and looking ahead to the spring season staff at Quinte Conservation say flood conditions are certainly possible provided certain weather conditions occur. “People shouldn’t be unnecessarily alarmed at this point,” said Quinte Conservation Water Resources Manager

Bryon Keene. “We’re going to watch this carefully and we’re going to know first if there’s some (flood conditions) coming up. When we know, we’re going to inform the public, with plenty of time for people make decisions and respond.” While flows on the Moira River are currently about average for this time of year, a high snowpack could lead to problems later in the spring. Typically, fresh fallen snow contains a water per-

centage of about 10 per cent, and as the season continues that water content can rise as the snow absorbs precipitation. Most recently, a rainfall of roughly 30 millimetres this past weekend had some people outside Quinte Conservation worried, but Keene said there was never any chance of flooding. Warmer temperatures generally need to persist for several days before rapid runoff occurs. While the region received a sizable amount of rain, the vast majority was actually absorbed by the existing snowpack. Keene said roughly 22 mm of the rainfall was absorbed by the snowpack, which in turn increased the water percentage of the snow. “Even though the snow is slowly sinking out there as it generally does towards the end of March, it’s the water that the snow absorbs ... it’s like a sponge sitting on the ground waiting to

let the water go,” said water resources technician David Eastcott. Of course, any flooding in the Belleville area begins and ends with the Moira River, and Quinte Conservation staff say flows on the waterway are about average for this time of year. Quinte Conservation general manager Terry Murphy said that when flow on the Moira River reaches 200 cubic metres per second, “Foxboro is in trouble.” In flood events in 1981 and 2008, those levels reached 363 cubic metres per second and 282 cubic metres per second, respectively. However the Moira River currently sits at approximately 30 cubic metres per second. Should extended warm weather conditions and a rapid melt occur those levels could rise significantly, “Yes we’ve had a lot of snow, yes there is water, but there’s a lot of room in the river,” Murphy said.

“Obviously right now if anyone were to look at the river systems they would see no problem,” Keene added. “It all kind of depends on what happens during that big warm up period whenever it comes.” Keene said forecasts for the coming weeks predict below average temperatures, meaning any significant runoff is extremely unlikely unless forecasts change drastically. Anyone concerned about flooding may call the Quinte Conservation office 24 hours a day at (613) 968-3434 or (613) 354-3312 and follow the prompts to report any flooding. Quinte Conservation’s area of concern includes all of Prince Edward County and the drainage basins of the Moira, Salmon and Napanee Rivers and their tributaries. The public can keep up to date on flooding information by following @quinteca on Twitter.

Feedback results in tower move News – Stirling – Following public consultations and questions from residents, plans to erect a Bell Mobility tower in the village have been slightly altered. CanACRE, the authorized agent for Bell Mobility, received council support last week, along with some complimentary words from Mayor Rodney Cooney, for a new proposal to construct the tower on the north side of the heritage trail adjacent to the skate park. In a letter to CAO Charles Croll from CanACRE’s Planning/Permitting Specialist Haseeb Amirzada, he states that “public open houses were held ... (and) feedback from those in attendance was seriously

considered and, as a result, the tower was proposed at a new location which was satisfactory to all who were present.” The original proposal would have seen the 30-metre monopole tower erected on the former site of the train station at the end of Station Street on what used to be the south side of the tracks. But several residents questioned the location and a suggestion was made to consider a less intrusive site nearby. Noted Mayor Cooney, “the two gentlemen who were here (from CanACRE) did an excellent job of listening to our concerns.”

The project, Amirzada says, “will meet the telecommunications needs for high quality wireless internet services in the community.” Public meetings were held in December following the announcement of the proposed construction and residents in the immediate area were informed about the project. As telecommunications towers are exempt from building permits, CanACRE was seeking and received council’s concurrence. Officials at the public meetings indicated construction is expected to take six to eight weeks with the project expected to be completed by mid 2014.

Property on River Valley Road rezoned from agriculture to residential News - Quinte West - Property at 374 River Valley Road has been approved by the Planning Advisory Committee for rezoning from Special Agriculture and Special Environmental Protection Zone to the Residential Rural Zone in Sidney Ward. The application on 13 acres (5.2 hectares) of land owned by Tony and Irene Vander Spruit has 483 feet (147 metres) of frontage on River Valley Road. “The effect of the amendment is to permit a single detached dwelling on the severed parcel,” notes Linda Bui, area planner. The existing Environmental Protection Zone is to remain. The

retained parcel will permit a farm with a lot of 12 acres (4.8 hectares.) The property is located on the south side of River Valley Road on a relatively ﬂat parcel of farm land. A watercourse and woods occupy the south portion of the property. The lands are located in a rural area with a mix of rural residential and farm uses nearby. A woodlot borders the property to the south. Jim Harrison asked Tony Vander Spruit if he was going to get an Environmental Assessment. “That’s the right move,” he said. Vander Spruit indicated that he was. The ES-Special Environmental Protection Zone

applies to the woodlands and watercourse across the south portion of the property. The applicant is proposing one new single detached dwelling that does not require the expansion of municipal infrastructure and is compatible with the rural development in the area. The Sidney Zoning Bylaw also includes a provision requiring a 450-metre setback from the Stirling Sewage Lagoon that is located to the north. No department or agency concerns were raised and the report indicated that the intent of the Ofﬁcial Plan and Sidney bylaw is consistent with the Provincial Policy Plan.

In the beginning, tooth decay is not painful. It is like diabetes, the effects from the disease remain very silent for the most part. Gradually, the hole gets bigger and bigger until finally the bacteria reach the nerve of the tooth. That is when people experience the “Ouch!” of a toothache. That is when dentists get the “emergency call.”

Last time we discussed how bacteria acted as one of the three keys to tooth decay. This time, we’ll talk about the second key – sugar. In our previous article, we described two types of bacteria found in the mouth. The first group is good bacteria because it doesn’t have any harmful effects in the oral cavity. The second group is cavity-causing bacteria. These bacteria use sugar to supply their energy to survive. It is actually a very simple process. The sugar is taken up by the cavitycausing bacteria to create energy. The by-product of this process, or waste, is called lactic acid.

News – Quinte West – Fire Prevention Ofﬁcer Robert Comeau from Quinte West Fire Rescue is encouraging kids to “push the button” this week to make sure their smoke alarm at home is working. The PUSH the Button campaign is now on the internet at: www.tvokids. com/features/pushbutton “Kids at home will love the permission to push the button,” Comeau says. “Once they’ve tested the alarms, kids are encouraged to go to the www. tvokids.com website between February 24 and March 9 and enter the number of alarms they’ve tested. The number will be added to TVOKids Push the Button counter. Kids will also be able to print a special Push the Button certiﬁcate. “It is a great opportunity also to clean your smoke alarms including your carbon monoxide detector,” Comeau adds.

Dr. Brian Ho

Every time you consume food containing sugar, you are feeding not only yourself but also the bacteria. At some point, the lactic acid creates a defect in the tooth that gets deeper and deeper. Eventually, you will no longer be able to clean it with brushing or flossing because the defect becomes a hole in your tooth! This is called tooth decay or a cavity.

Lower Trent Conservation appoints new chair, vice-chair By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - The new chair and vice-chair of the Lower Trent Conservation (LTC) board are women. “I don’t believe we have ever had a woman as chair,” said general manager Glenda Rodgers. Pat Westrope, representative of the Township of Cramahe, is the new chair and Mary Tadman, representative of the Municipality of Brighton, is vice chair. Westrope has been a member of the board of directors for the past seven years and vice-chair since 2011. Tadman has been on the board for six years, from 2004 to 2006 and from 2011 to present. LTC’s area of jurisdiction covers 2121 square kilometres (819 square miles)

stretching from Grafton to Quinte West and from Lake Ontario to Rice Lake. The area includes all or portions of seven municipalities. The ten-member board of directors includes the following municipal representatives for 2014: Township of Alnwick/Haldimand - Joan Stover, Municipality of Brighton - Craig Kerr, Mary Tadman, Municipality of Centre Hastings - Larry Mitz, Township of Cramahe - Patricia Westrope, City of Quinte West - Jim Harrison, Jim Alyea, Township of Stirling-Rawdon - Wilfred Shier, Municipality of Trent Hills - Kim MacNeil, Bill Thompson. The 2014 budget was approved by the board at the meeting. Approximately 46 per cent of the $2,727,500 budget

will be provided by the provincial and federal governments to co-ordinate programs related to the cleanup of the Bay of Quinte and the protection of sources of water used for municipal drinking water. The seven local municipalities will provide $774,271 to support the watershed management program, representing approximately 29 per cent of the funding outlined in the 2014 budget and business plan. The slight increase in the levy was as follows: Alnwick-Haldimand went up from $77,268 in 2013 to $77,582 in 2014. Brighton went from $122,529 to $123,961. Trent Hills went from $118,537 to $124,735. Centre Hastings went from $17,321

Council still looking for efficiencies By Richard Turtle

Hagerman says the plan is to replace the bridge with a precast concrete box culvert with an anticipated start date of July 1. “That’s the big project for this summer,” he says. Environmental approvals are required prior to construction due to fish spawning. Mayor Cooney also expressed his thanks to municipal road crews who have been unusually busy with snow removal in recent weeks. “It’s been a long winter,” Cooney noted, adding “council is pretty happy with the way things are going.” Council agreed to a written request by the Royal Canadian Legion Br. 228 to purchase a defibrillator for the branch using funds from the Legion’s lottery account. Legion officials made the request noting, “as most of our members are seniors this will be very beneficial to have on site.”

News – Stirling – With budgetary cuts looming, municipal officials in StirlingRawdon are hoping to reduce costs further through partnerships with neighbouring municipalities. Speaking at the most recent meeting of council, Stirling-Rawdon Clerk and CAO Charles Croll said further savings could be realized in areas such as municipal services, road resurfacing or capital purchases by sharing information with other nearby municipalities. While it has not been the practice in the past, he says, municipalities could join forces to make major purchases or coordinate construction projects in order to reduce overall costs. Council agreed that the opportunity for savings through cooperation and information sharing between multiple purchasers was worthy of further consideration and could prove a benefit to all. Council has also begun the process to sell some municipal assets in an effort to reduce operating costs and will be reporting to the Police Services Board with plans for renovations and layout changes at the emergency services building in the near future. Council has deemed the municipal offices on Demorest Road as surplus, as well as the public works property at the southeast end of the village, and plans are underway to shift the municipality’s administration offices across the road. Following receipt of a pair of construction options for the McGee Road bridge, council is preparing to tender the project, which is expected to cost about $250,000. Councillor and Transportation Committee Chair Grant

to $17,963. Quinte West went from $326,316 to $337,737. Stirling-Rawdon went from $27,789 to $29,577. The total levy went from $753,095 to $774,271. Glenda Rodgers told the board at its annual meeting February 13 that staff continues to monitor weather, ice, snow and water level conditions as part of its flood forecasting and warning program. “There have been no major problems with frazil ice or flooding on the Trent River this winter, to date,” she said. “The snow pack continues to build [about five inches of water equivalent]. This could result in a spring freshet, depending on New LTC chair Patricia Westrope and vice chair the time of the thaw and temperature Mary Tadman were acclaimed at the annual general meeting.

St. Paul Catholic Secondary School celebrates Olympic fever By Kate Everson

News - Trenton - Students at St. Paul Catholic Secondary School know more about countries around the world now because of their participation in the Olympics. Opening ceremonies were held at the school on February 19 with student groups representing various countries. They made the flags, designed the costumes and paraded into the gymnasium under the watch of the judges. There was music and dancing and a lot of laughter, as students showed their creativity and sense of humour. First was Australia, from deep down under, with students including Crocodile Dundee, a crocodile and some Aborigines. One student even played a didgeridoo. Brazil was next with colourful displays, then Egypt with mummies and pyramids. Finland came in bravely flaunting its Olympic flag, followed by France with wine and baguettes to offer the judges. Germany was all about the dancing to a beerfest tune, offering the judges a stein of something dark. Great

Britain proudly blazed its red, white and blue to the Beatles tunes. Greece brought everyone back to ancient times with the Greek gods and goddesses leading the way. Iceland was happy just to be there, followed by a festive Ireland with lots of green and leprechauns. Italy had pizza and spaghetti to bribe the judges, along with acrobatics and accordion music. Jamaica had the bobsled and happy dances followed by Japan and its geisha girls. South Korea was in the game, chasing out North Korea ﬁrst. The Netherlands had lots of tulips and windmills, and New Zealand had girls dressed like sheep with white balloons. Norway was all about the Vikings, slicing and dicing through the crowd in its Viking boat. Russia had expert gymnasts showing off their talents on the carpet while a Russian bear rode alongside on a bicycle. There was a big weight lifter and some dubious characters from the KGB. Scotland was welcomed with its Celtic dress, a cardboard Loch Ness monster and

a large can of Scotch Broth as well as three witches and a steaming cauldron from Macbeth. Sweden looked daring in blue and yellow facemasks, wielding swords and dragging an Ikea box. Switzerland had the best treat of all for the judges, a Toblerone bar, along with several other sweets. Taiwan had pretty girls with parasols and a box of balloons. U.S.A. did a great job, despite the boos from the crowd (too many hockey games?) with its football player, cheerleader, Statue of Liberty and mask of Obama. Finally, the Canada team came in with the red Canada ﬂag waving proudly, and everyone stood up and cheered. One girl offered Timbits to the judges (a sure win). Then representatives from several countries brought in the Olympic ﬂag and it was raised to the rafters. The Olympic torch was also carried into the gym and speeches were given about the true spirit of the Olympics and the essence of sportsmanship. Three cheers for Australia was first with its starry flag, and included crocodiles and didgeridoos. the Olympics of St. Paul!

News - Trenton - Special guest at the Olympics ceremony at St. Paul Catholic Secondary School on February 19 was local Animal Control Ofﬁcer Price Morris. Born October 22, 1941, in Frankford, Price is well known in the Quinte region, but not many know he was an Olympic weightlifter in 1972. He was also honoured on the Sports Wall of Fame at the Quinte West YMCA a few years ago with a plaque on the wall recognizing his illustrious past. “Being in the Olympics has helped me have an open mind about any situation I am in,” Morris says. “Sometimes there is a dog situation that gets pretty rough.” He says he is looking forward to the summer Olympics where weightlifting is included. But he might be busier on the roads then too. “I get a lot more calls in the summer,” he says. “Wildlife is more active.” However, he has been busy this winter as well. “I just trapped six squirrels in an attic,” he said. He releases the squirrels in a wooded area far from the homes. Morris has also found a few sick raccoons this winter. “They were just lying in the yard,” he said. “They must have distemper. I also found a few in a tree. They should be hibernating.” Near Wellers Bay, he has picked up several dead swans on the road. “The swans are dying,” he says. “There is not enough food. It’s been a

bad winter, with snow and ice covering the grass. Sometimes they can pick off the algae in the bay but it’s all iced up.” Weightlifter Morris became the first Canadian champion in the heavyweight division in 1965. It was 1967 that would be his breakout year as he was again crowned Canadian champion, represented Canada in the Pan-American Games and broke a 16-year national clean and jerk record with a 406-pound lift, becoming the first Canadian to break the 400-pound barrier. After being crowned Canadian champion twice more (1968 and 1969) he attended the 1970 Commonwealth games where he tied for second place in the overall heavyweight division. The tiebreaker was personal weight and Price ended up with the bronze medal. His next stop was the 1971 Pan-American games where he again won bronze, this time in the super heavyweight class. Price was crowned Canadian champion for a fifth and final time in 1972, the same year he qualified to represent his country at the Munich Olympics in the heavyweight division. He finished 22nd of 26 competitors in the event, the last time the clean and press was held at the Olympic games. Price still holds the Canadian record of 382 pounds in the press.

Pediatric dentistry a plus for children A trip to the dentist should be a positive experience for children. Parents can begin by explaining to their child that dentists are helpers and their job is to keep patients of all ages, strong and healthy. If you are a new parent or your family has recently relocated to the Trenton/ Quinte West and Belleville area, consider Dr. Brett's Family Dentistry. He and his staff believe that a doctor and patient work as a team for treating and maintaining an individual's oralhealth needs. Child-friendly offices typically offer an environment designed to make children comfortable. A fun environment makes the dentist's office a treat for children to visit. At Dr. Brett’s, children are allowed to watch movies of their choice during their appointments and are offered a selection from the toy box afterwards to reward positive behaviour. Here, they offer more tips for parents: • Take your child to the office for a visit before the appointment. This is especially important before their first visit. Point the office out when you drive by and say, "Oh, look! There's Dr. Brett's office. Remember how nice he is?" • Read books that feature characters going to the dentist in the weeks before

City of Quinte West Municipal Class Environmental Assessment

Trenton Water Treatment Plant The City of Quinte West (the City) has been working on a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) with the intention of identifying a preferred solution to address issues with one of the existing intakes at the Trenton Water Treatment. Specifically, the EA focuses on: • Preventing the Stinkpot Turtle, a ‘Threatened’ Species At Risk, from gaining access to the existing water intake pipe via silt build-up around the pipe opening, and • Hydraulic constraints associated with using the shallow intake during periods of low River water levels. The project is being undertaken as a Schedule ‘B’ Class EA. The EA process requires a point of public contact to communicate the findings to date and solicit feedback and comments from regulatory agencies, the public, and other stakeholders. To that end, a Public Information File has been developed to cover the work completed to date. The presentation slides that make up the Public Information File include an overview of the issues, the alternative solutions that were identified, an evaluation of the potential solutions, and a description of the preferred solution. The Public Information File presentation slides can be reviewed on the City’s website at: http://www.quintewest.ca/en/cityhall/environmental.asp Hard copies of the presentation slides are also available for review at City Hall. Following a review of the posted information, stakeholders are invited to provide comments or questions to the contacts below on or before March 6, 2014. Comments received will be incorporated into the final project documents, which will be made available for 30-day review before the Class EA is completed. Mr. Matt Tracey Mr. Jeff Beaty, P.Eng.

Pilon will start her Master’s Degree at the University of Waterloo this fall where she will compete unattached and help to coach the Warriors track and field team. The Waterloo Warriors track and field had an outstanding weekend, reports the Warriors website. Starting off the competition with the 60-metre hurdles, Pilon shot out of the blocks and attacked each hurdle, running a personal best time of 9.52 seconds. Moving onto the second of the five events, Pilon kept her momentum going in the high jump, clearing the bar at 1.56 metres, a new personal best within the pentathlon. Next up, in the shot put competition, Pilon surpassed almost all her competitors, throwing a new personal best of 11.52 metres, finishing second overall in the event. In the long jump, Pilon produced three strong jumps. Unfortunately, all three were behind the takeoff board limiting her best

jump to a distance of 4.77 metres. After losing several potential points in this event, she knew she would have to run a strong 800 metre race to make up the deficit and break the varsity record. As the gun went off to start the final race, Pilon looking very relaxed, settled into fifth place after the first 200 metres. Knowing how much was on the line, Pilon started making moves and tactically passed two of her competitors over the next 400 metres to move up into third. With only 200 metres left in the race, Pilon surged into second, and started closing the gap on the firstplace runner. Pilon finished second in the race, running a huge personal best time of 2 minutes, 18.2 seconds. She scored 3,467 points in the pentathlon and is now the current record holder for the University of Waterloo women’s pentathlon. Her score of 3,467 points in the event currently places Pilon second in the Ontario University Athletics conference and fifth in all of Canada.

Double Alpine Ontario race weekend for U16 Batawa Bandits

Sports - Over the weekend the U16 Batawa Bandits were involved in their final Alpine Ontario Southern Division races for this season. On Saturday, February 22nd, they competed in a slalom race at Heights of Horseshoe in Barrie on a hard-packed course. Showing her technical ability and strength, Caroline Burchat finished 7th with a combined time of 55.03. The next female racers were Amy Park in 15th and Megan McLean finishing 25th. Aggressively attacking the men’s course, Eric Cholasta was the top male skier for Batawa finishing 11th in a combined time of 53.08. Batawa male racers finishing in the top 30 included Nathan Lamain 23rd, Andrew Brown 25th and Taylor Russett 29th. Other Batawa racers with two clean runs but just beyond the top 30 in the slalom course included Natalie Wannamaker, Mirisha Russett and Cobe Stoll. Julia Press, looking strong in the first two thirds of the slalom course, had an unfortunate fall near the end of the race and was unable to participate for the remainder of the weekend race events. On Sunday, February 23rd, the U16 team competed in a giant slalom race at Georgian Peaks in Thornbury, just outside of Collingwood. This course challenged the racers to stay focused to find success on the icy, steep course.

Neck and neck in the standings were Caroline Burchat (1:08.80) and Amy Park (1:09.06) finishing 11th and 12th respectively. The next grouping of female Batawa racers were Mirisha Russett (31st), Hannah Merjavec (32nd) and Natalie

Wannamaker (33rd). The time span separating these three racers was less than half a second. With strong consistent turns, Eric Cholasta lead the male team with a combined time 1:06.66 placing him 9th overall. Other male racers

with two clean runs included Kurtis Wright 20th, Taylor Russett 25th and Andrew Brown 28th. The Batawa Bandits racers and parents would like to thank their coaches Brain Wannamaker and Mark Cholasta for their support over

the ski racing season. The Batawa Ski Racing Team will hold their annual club race at their home club on March 1st and 2nd. At this event, racers from the U12 to Masters division will compete in both slalom and giant slalom races.

Sports – Belleville – The Centennial Chargers are COSSA boys senior basketball champions, claiming the championship Monday night with a hard-fought 67-51 victory over the visiting St. Paul’s Saints out of Peterborough. “We’ve been trying to get this title for a long time now,” said coach Pat Foran. “It’s good to ﬁnally get this win and get some of

“I think they played great today, there was deﬁnitely some adversity but they came through well and gathered themselves for the win,” Foran said. With Centennial trailing 1712 at the end of the ﬁrst quarter, the Chargers began to turn up the pressure entering the second.

Crunch time for Bulls in playoff race Sports – Belleville – It’s the time of year when every game matters in the OHL playoff race, and the shorthanded Belleville Bulls did well to salvage two of a possible four points from a pair of games on home ice this past weekend. Playing with just 16 skaters and two forwards filling in on defence, the Bulls came up short against the Oshawa Generals Saturday night by a 3-1 score, but rebounded in time to take a tough 3-2 win over the visiting Peterborough Petes less than 24 hours later. “It was an extremely hardfought battle by our guys. We’re really short-manned and we became even more short-manned as the game went on,” said Bulls assistant coach Jake Grimes. “It seemed more like six periods we played today than three.” The Bulls entered the weekend slate of games with only four healthy defencemen, with blueliners Jake Worrad, Justin Lemcke, Adam Bignell and Mark Raycroft all watching the game from the stands with a variety of injuries. With few other options, head coach George Burnett started forwards Stephen Harper and Aaron Berisha on defence beginning Thursday at Barrie. Following a 3-1 Belleville win, the pair were back on the blueline against the Oshawa Generals Saturday night. Unfortunately for the Bulls, the Eastern-conference leading Generals made short work of the short-handed Bulls squad with an entertaining 4-1 Generals win. It took the Bulls nearly ten minutes to record their first shot on goal, and by the time they found some offensive momentum the Generals were already leading

2-0 on goals by forwards Aidan Wallace and Justice Dundas. Belleville’s top offensive playmaker and leading scorer Remi Elie brought the Bulls within one after his powerplay goal midway through the second period, but it’s as close as the Bulls would come in this one. Despite the Bulls outshooting Oshawa 37-31, Generals goaltender Ken Appleby was more than up to the task, and a goal by Oshawa’s Cole Cassels midway through the third period was more than enough to secure the win for the Generals. Bulls netminder Charlie Graham picked up the loss after recording 27 saves. A rare Sunday matinee against the Peterborough Petes the very next day meant the Bulls were back on the ice in less than 24 hours, but the outcome of Sunday’s win could have repercussions that last much longer. After a highly entertaining opening period that saw Bellevlle take a 2-1 lead on goals by Cameron Brace and Jake Bricknell, the Bulls blueline took yet another hit it could ill afford. Midway through the second period defenceman Brody Morris threw his body in front of a hard Peterborough slapshot, and much to the hometown fans horror he would stay down for the next couple minutes. Assisted by the training staff, Morris would eventually make his way to the locker oom, but would not return with what was later described as a “head injury.” With Morris going down the Bulls were left with just two healthy defencemen and only 15 skaters on the ice. With that said, it wasn’t a surprise to see the

active Bulls skaters beginning to noticeably tire as the period went on, and despite failing to score Peterborough was threatening the Bulls net with quality chances. Things really unravelled for the Bulls at the beginning of the third period, as after an untimely penalty to one of two remaining defenceman, Jordan Subban, the Bulls took to the penalty kill only to give up the tying goal to Peterborough’s Greg Betzold. Belleville was meanwhile struggling on the offensive end with zero shots through the opening 10 minutes of the period, and things were looking grim. That is, until they got lucky. It was an ordinary dump into the Pete’s offensive zone for Belleville’s Alex Yuill, but this time the puck took a funny bounce. As the puck careened around the top of the boards in the Petes’ zone, Peterborough goaltender Alex D’Agostini left his post to make a play behind the net. That’s when the puck hit the edge of a partition of glass and deflecting directly in front of the yawning cage, where Bulls forward Adam Laishram was in the right place at the right time, scoring just his second goal of his OHL career to give the Bulls a 3-2 lead with only eight minutes remaining. Try as they might, the Petes just couldn’t overcome their stroke of misfortune, and Bulls goalie Michael Giugovaz was solid down the stretch to preserve the Belleville win. “I think we’re playing playoff hockey, and I hope we make it to the playoffs,” Grimes said. “The first thing we’ve got to do is recover from our bumps and bruises and get healthy again... we just need to keep that level of intensity that we’ve had for the

Girl with arthritis fundraising for walk-a-thon By Sue Dickens

Lifestyles – Campbellford – Struggling to get out of bed in the morning, ﬁghting the pain of arthritis, Isabelle Hardy puts a smile on her face and begins her day. She has suffered with this disease for years. She just celebrated her ninth birthday and hopes that by telling her story she will bring awareness to the fact that arthritis is not just a disease of the elderly. To further that cause she is fundraising and will be participating in this summer’s “Walk to Fight Arthritis”, a ﬁrst for the Arthritis Society of Peterborough. “We want people to know that arthritis is not just a disease of old people,” said her mom Jenn Hardy. March has been designated as “Childhood Arthritis Month” and Isabelle hopes by telling her story the walk-a-thon will be a success,” she explained. For Isabelle her story is also about dealing with the pain of arthritis every day. “I have a lot of pain and so there are a few exercises I do in my bed before I get up just to get loosened up,” young Isabelle told the Trent Hills Independent. According to the arthritis society one in 1,000 children has

arthritis. “In children it’s different than adults. In children it makes the growth plates grow exponentially faster ... Because Isabelle’s still growing she has a double curved spine now,” said her mom, who explained it’s not always easy to diagnose in children. The family has been to many doctors, from a pediatrician in Peterborough to a rheumatologist at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in Toronto. Living in Dartford, a hamlet near Warkworth, Isabelle and her mom also travel to Campbellford to the treatment ofﬁces of Five Counties Children’s Centre where she is helped by an occupational therapist and physical therapist. “Isabelle is also seeing environmental doctors in Ottawa and Vaughn,” said her mom. Isabelle attended day care and public school for three years. However, the disease has forced her to be at home so much that she is now home-schooled by her mom, who quit her position as a social worker two years ago to be there for her. Isabelle’s arthritis is complicated by the fact she also has ﬁbromyalgia and myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome.

“I also have to use a puffer because I have asthma,” said young Isabelle, who always has a smile on her face. “I have to watch what I eat. I can’t have dairy, wheat, corn, anything with gluten but I really like ham. I am a real foodie,” she added with her infectious grin. Isabelle also asked that her cats are mentioned in her story. “I have two cats. They mean the world to me. One is Sammy and one is Glenny and they inspire me ... they really are my therapy.” Taking it all in stride this bright, alert youngster is now focused on the walk-a-thon. “My goal is to raise $200 and I’ve raised $25 so far,” she said. “If somebody donates they get a free bracelet which I make myself.” Her family and friends, “grandma and grandpa,” (Judy and Dale Hardy), will be joining her in the walk which takes place Sunday, June 8 at Jackson Park in Peterborough. Registration is at noon and the walk starts at 1 p.m. Anyone who wants to donate to Isabelle can email jjh339@yahoo.ca or donate online at: www. walktoﬁghtarthritis.ca (click on the green donate button, type in Isabelle Hardy, location Peterborough).

Filmmaker had start at DocFest By Steve Jessel

Entertainmnet – Belleville It’s been a rapid rise to stardom for Belleville native and indie documentary ﬁlmmaker Josh Jensen, and Jensen says Belleville’s Downtown DocFest was instrumental in securing a covAlways smiling, nine-year-old Isabelle Hardy of Dartford, who has arthritis, is fundraising and will be participating in the first eted Canadian distribution deal ever “Walk to Fight Arthritis” to be held in Peterborough on June 9.

Scene: An Exploration of Music in Toronto. “I can’t put too ﬁne a point on how important DocFest was in getting our Canadian distributor on board, because it was through DocFest and through (DocFest promoter) Dug Stevenson that we got in touch with [our Canadian distributor],” Jensen said.

“Through that, we’ve been able to get the ﬁlm in front of a lot more eyeballs than we thought would ever have been possible.” Some documentary ﬁlmmakers might toil in relative obscurity for years before getting a major distribution deal, but for Jensen and co-producer Andrew Please see “Local” on page B2

Smyth it’s been a relatively quick climb to the top. The film is the pair’s first feature documentary together, and while Smyth had previously produced a documentary, Jensen’s only experience with filmmaking was through working on commercials and multi-media projects such as web series. Drawing from mutual experiences with the underground music scene in Toronto, the idea for their film, The Scene: An Exploration of Music in Toronto was born. “(The artists) couldn’t survive pursuing their artistic dreams, they were all just trying to pay the rent, and in their off-time writing, recording, rehearsing and playing in live shows,” Jensen said. “You go to a show, and you see one per cent of these peoples lives. We wanted to display the other 99 per cent of what actually goes into that show.

We wanted people to appreciate the blood, sweat, and tears, and all the work that goes into putting on that 45-minute set.” Jensen premiered the documentary at Belleville’s DocFest in 2013, and said the experience was “amazing.” “It was just a completely surreal experience being in a capacity crowd... for the world premier of my ﬁrst feature,” he said. “Having friends, family and people I hadn’t seen in a long time, coming to see this movie, this indie documentary about indie music was fantastic, it was such a blast.” The year 2014 marks the third year for Downtown DocFest, and Jensen said it serves as an important platform to showcase local talent. Shortly after the ﬁlm was shown, the pair secured their Canadian distribution deal, followed by an American distribution deal

For more information on the film, visit the website at www.thescenedoc. com. “This never existed when I was growing up,” he said. “I’m so glad that DocFest exists, because in addition to bringing in small films or less mainstream documentaries and giving them a platform in the Quinte area, what they’re doing is promoting local talent as well.” This year DocFest features the 12 different productions from local filmmakers, including a documentary narrated by the CBC’s Shelagh Rodgers.

Foundation’s Prom Project making a difference By Steve Jessel

News – Belleville – “I didn’t realize I could look so beautiful.” Those are the words of one student that took part in the 2013 edition of the Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation’s Prom Project, and for Foundation executive director Maribeth DeSnoo, that’s what the initiative is all about. “(The student) said this was the

nicest thing she had ever had,” DeSnoo said, reﬂecting back to 2013. “I think that so many of us are so lucky and take things for granted ... that was just so heartfelt. ” Now entering its third year, Prom Project is an annual regional campaign that asks for donations of gently-used formal wear that can be worn by Grade 8-12 students to their graduation or prom ceremonies. After being

held in six area secondary schools in the Prince Edward-Hastings District School Board in 2013, DeSnoo said 2014 will see the project go to all eight secondary schools in the board, meaning that even more students will be able to take part in the initiative. “It makes it far more accessible to all students, regardless of the system they’re in,” DeSnoo said. “If a student would be otherwise unable to do

their grad or prom, they are more than welcome and we encourage them to attend a Prom Project event.” Suits, ties, dresses and formalwear items are all welcome donations to the project, in sizes 2-24. Donations are accepted until March, and once formal events draw a bit closer partner schools hold special Prom Please see “Dresses” on page B3

TRAVEL

Hiking an enjoyable experience on Maui

By John M. Smith

Lifestyles - While in Maui, Hawaii, I went on a half day hike into an isolated rainforest and along a beautiful stream on the west side of the island. It was both rugged and beautiful and included glimpses of spectacular rock formations and stops at several awesome waterfalls and pools. My guide was Mike, but he’s commonly called “Marco” (after Marco Polo), for he’s done a lot of travelling around the world; however, he’s also worked on and off, for a particular eco-friendly adventure trek business, “Hike Maui”, for the past 15 years or so. The hike was very informative, for Marco was able to weave geology, history, and

botany into the hiking experience. For example, he pointed out many of the plant species along the way including tea leaf plants, shampoo ginger and strawberry guava. He also gave us insights into the history of Hawaii and he led us right into a bamboo forest where he cut some pieces of bamboo and had us try blowing into these pipe-like structures to create our own specialized musical instruments. The hike also proved to be quite a workout, for the entire trip took about six hours and included a walk right along a cliff edge and to a huge banyan tree, where we descended by hanging on to the large banyan tree roots into a canyon! After this strenuous descent, we were

rewarded by seeing a magnificent waterfall cascading down towards us from high above. I then learned that Woody Harrelson (actor) had made this very same descent and same hike and he had even shown some ‘daredevil moves’ by bravely climbing up the rocky precipice right next to the waterfall itself. On another section of our walk, we witnessed a triple cascading waterfall. We also stopped at a rocky precipice that used to be rappelled down, but one of the guides fell here and it took 10 hours to rescue him! Therefore, this is no longer a part of the hike. I asked Marco if he ever had clients that couldn’t make the somewhat gruelling hike and he said “Yes, but I try to gauge

Donations of gently-used formal wear can be donated at a variety of locations. In Belleville, donations can be dropped off at Parsons Cleaners, Woodland Cleaners, Northtown Cleaners, and Quinte Mall; in Trenton at Trenton Clothing and Repair, Trenton Cleaners and Tucker’s Corners Variety; and in Prince Edward County at Scott’s General Store in Picton, Pearson’s Foodland in Wellington and at Rossmore Stop.

DeSnoo said. “I’ll never forget at PECI, the Vice Principal, he had a group of at least 15 students, young guys standing around him, and he was teaching them how to tie a tie. You had students helping other students, saying ‘I think you should try this on, because it would look lovely on you’ ...the whole fact that you’re making something possible that otherwise never Mode Elle models Danielle Dettlinger, Maggie McDonnell and Leah Hamilton modelled some of the would have happened is just outfits donated for Prom Project at the official launch for Prom Project at Quinte Mall on February 19.

what each group is capable of doing and I don’t always take the same route or the same level of challenges. Still, there have been times when an alternate, easier route has been necessary and I’ve even taken guests to the nearest road and simply picked them up in my vehicle. After all, the paying customer must come first.” Our hike wasn’t terribly long in distance (just over three miles), but it did offer some challenges and we worked up a healthy sweat; however, we were also given some welcomed opportunities for a refreshing swim in clear, cool pools, for jumping off of rocks into these deep pools and for a cooling shower under a cascading waterfall. Ken Schmitt began “Hike Maui” (www.hikemaui.com) way back in 1983, over 30 years ago, and he was the only employee for the first few years. However, he was determined Marko leads us through a section of bamboo. to make this business a success for he felt that this was a way to show visitors the real Hawaii. Ken’s business and reputation did eventually grow, and a female travel writer, M J Harden, came on assignment to check it out and write an article about this particular activity. Well, one thing led to another and she eventually married Ken. She’s now the Vice President and head of personnel and training; and “Hike Maui” now employs about 20 guides and offers a great variety of trips including full-day waterfalls and rainforest hikes and a trek at the summit of Haleakala Volcano. With Maui’s spectacular beaches and its plethora of activities, there’s a great variety of things to see and do here, but our hike was one unique way to explore and experience this beautiful Hawaiian island. Our supplied hiking gear included bottled water, daypacks, water shoes, rain ponchos, and lunch. We were then declared good to go and the expedition proved to be very worthwhile.

LIFE

When are you an adult?

Reality Check:

Sheila Wray Gregoire Lifestyles - Canadians rejoiced loudly last week when we were victorious in Olympic hockey. Facebook was taken over for 48 hours by a constant barrage of “Way to Go, Canada!” while #WeAreWinter surged on Twitter. In the midst of the revelry, though, an American story about freestyle skiing half-pipe gold medalist David Wise caught my attention. Wise is 23-yearsold, and has been married for several years to his wife Alexandra. They have a two-year-old daughter together. NBC reported on his win like this: “David Wise’s alternative lifestyle leads to Olympic gold.” Being married with a child in your early twenties is now an “alternative lifestyle”, and the statistics actually bear this out. According to Stats Canada, the

average age of first marriage in Canada is now 29 for women and 31 for men. Even more telling to me, though, was that NBC also added this line: “At such a young age, Wise has the lifestyle of an adult.” The lifestyle of an adult when you’re 23 and how shall I put this? an adult! The fact that we can be so surprised that a 23-year-old is behaving like an adult makes me a little sad. I was married at 21; when I was 23, I was pregnant with my oldest daughter, who is now studying in second year at university. I raised my kids while I was in my mid-twenties, and still in great shape to lug babies and strollers up flights of stairs in the subway system in Toronto. When Keith and I were first married we started saving like crazy.

We budgeted well and managed to scrounge together enough for a small down payment on a house when we were in our late twenties. It wasn’t a large house, and back then neither of us had very well-paying jobs. But we figured out how to stretch our money, and we made it work. When we announced our engagement back in 1991, many were a little incredulous. How can we be so sure when we’re that young? You need to live more, see more of the world, try more things before you settle down! In fact, “settling down” was portrayed as something bad, as if life ends once you make a commitment. Yet for me, that was more when life began. In fact, happiness studies show that satisfaction comes not from

they have to know how to maintain a household, including knowing how to cook and clean. They have to know how to manage money. They have to be employable (or at least in school to become employable). They have to be responsible. And few 18-year-olds can accomplish all that unless we as parents start raising them to be adults earlier. I’m not sure we’re doing favours by extending childhood until people are thirty. Perhaps we’d all be better off if we expected people to act like adults once they were, actually, adults. Correction: Last week in my column on Nicholas Winton I stated that he had rescued Jewish children from Austria during World War II. It was actually Czechoslovakia. I’m so sorry about the confusion.

Seedy Saturday focuses on heritage

Lifestyles - At the garden centre, we’ve had the pleasure of chatting with our “scratch” gardeners these past few weeks as indoor sowing time has arrived. It’s a good time for us; it means that spring is coming. Forget the first birds, the first sniff of bare soil on a south west breeze, the first snow drop blossom and any other so-called harbinger of the vernal season. You gardener folk are its vanguard and we

welcome you. Seedy Saturday is a gathering of like-minded individuals who are interested in the conservation of heritage seeds and the knowledge that goes with it. This is now a world-wide movement that had its origins in Canada with BC agronomist Sharon Rempel’s first meeting, held in 1990. There is a valid concern that we are losing not only control of our seeds but

living a carefree lifestyle, but instead from finding meaning and belonging while also feeling productive. Maybe younger people have trouble “finding themselves” because they’re looking in the wrong place. I’m not arguing that people should get married younger; most people, after all, really aren’t ready. But maybe that’s the root of the problem: we are raising people to not be “adults” until they reach thirty. That’s become the culturally accepted norm. Instead of the teen years being the decade in which you grow up, it’s now the twenties. Is that healthy for a society? I always believed you were an adult at eighteen, but for that to happen an 18-year-old has to be ready to launch into the adult world. That means

There are concerns about loss of open-pollinated varieties, ownership of varieties, and the diversity of varieties adapted to different bioregions. Absolutely, you will be able to swap seeds and purchase seeds but; more importantly, you will learn a tremendous amount about them, which incidentally, are our food source.

Here it is: “The heart of the Seedy Saturday Quinte West is our seed exchange table. This event encourages the exchange of locally grown and collected, openpollinated seeds amongst attendees.

Gilmore Junio who gave up his spot in the medal round, Justin Wadsworth who helped a Russian competitor and PK Subban who accepted his non-playing role with grace will be the memories that make me feel good to be a Canadian.

Kellie Pickler, Joe Nichols returning to Jamboree

By Bill Freeman

Entertainment – Havelock – Kellie Pickler caused a sensation during her last trip to the Havelock Country Jamboree and the American Idol sweetheart and Dancing With the Stars winner is sure to create the same sort of buzz when she returns this August to be part of the Jamboree’s big 25th anniversary festival. Pickler and three-time Grammy nominee Joe Nichols, another Jamboree alumnus, are the latest performers to be

booked for this August’s four-day country music party, which already has a stellar lineup that includes country music icon Alan Jackson, rockin’ Dierks Bentley, Josh Turner, Michelle Wright, The Mavericks, Suzy Bogguss, Doc Walker, Charlie Major , The Good Brothers and 23 other musical luminaries. Also newly-announced are Kelly Vohn and her Dolly Parton tribute, Jack Connolly, Dry Country and local favourites Cold Creek Country featuring

Nichols brings a heartthrob quotient to the stage along with his 14 top 40 hits and four chart-toppers like Brokenheartsville and Tequila Makes My Clothes Fall Off. The winner of the Academy of Country Music’s Top Male Artist award and three times a Grammy nominee, the Arkansas native is touring behind his latest album, Crickets, which has already produced one number one hit, Sunny and 75, and reached number three on the Billboard Country chart. “There’s always going to be a traditional element in my music that I won’t change, and really just can’t change,” says Nichols. “But I can reach beyond my comfort zone, too. Fan favourite and chart-topping star Joe Nichols is coming back to the Certainly in 2013, it would be Havelock Country Jamboree as part of its twenty-fifth anniversary lineup. foolish not to try … I am true to traditional country music and always will be.

American Idol sweetheart, Dancing With The Stars winner and country music star Kellie Pickler is coming back to the Havelock Country Jamboree to help it celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary.

Havelock Country Showdown star Brandon Scott. “My life is a country song,” Pickler notes. Her music and her sparkling personality have helped her navigate her way through some dramatic life lessons and pick up three CMT awards and a host of nominations. Her newest album, her fourth, The Woman I Am, is earning strong reviews and she’s looking forward to matching the success of her earlier releases including her first album, Small Town Girl, which shot up the charts and sold 800,000 while producing three top 20 hits including Red High Heels. Pickler shot to national attention as a 19-year-old with her dazzling performance during the fifth season (2005) of American Idol. She has toured with her friend Taylor Swift and has been a headliner since then winning new fans with every song and trip on stage. Her 2013 Dancing With The Stars win with Derek Hough in 2013 added even more luster to a sterling career. “When I write a song I just write about who I am and where I’ve been, where I am

Revenue is divided up by paying the theatre a fixed rental fee and the rest is divided evenly amongst the performers. In other words, they get paid per song. Marvin Tucker, president of the Board of Directors of the Belleville Theatre Guild, added his endorsement. “We are excited about the idea of using the Pinnacle Playhouse as a musical venue. We feel this is a wonderful and comfortable little theatre - just right for hearing some great music. We are particularly excited about the idea of supporting local musicians and giving them a place to express their musical creativity.

When I approached a few musicians in and around Belleville, their very positive responses motivated me to seek out partners with similar ideas. Based on the success of the Wolfville Night Kitchen I believed Night Kitchen Too would be well received and supported by the community,’” explained Gary about his interest and reason for adopting and promoting the concept of a second Night Kitchen.

Entertainment - Belleville - On March 15, the first of three Saturday nights are already booked for a transplanted and innovative musical showcase called Night Kitchen Too, an idea borrowed from the very successful Night Kitchen that has been entertaining full houses in Wolfville, Nova Scotia for over five years. Each will get underway at 8 p.m. at The Pinnacle Playhouse in downtown Belleville. The concept is quite simple: 14 invited musicians show up for a sound check an hour before the eight o’clock opening. All musicians get one or two songs until just before the coffee break; a selected individual or group will perform three songs. All performances are acoustic so the sound system is very basic, one of the reasons the program works so well. Musicians will await their turn sitting in front row seats offering encouragement and support for the other performers. Singer-songwriter Joe Callahan will host the Night Kitchen Too concerts. He is known to the Quinte region’s live music scene through his work with the Loyal Blues Fellowship in organizing local music festivals, workshops and

There were 158 girls at Trenton High School on February 22, Thinking Day, celebrating the history of Guiding. “There has been Guiding in Canada since 1910,” said Trenton Community Guider Rosemary Peck. She said the theme of the day’s event at the high school was Time Travellers

as girls learned about Guiding past, present and future. There were dances, drama, crafts, history and songs. Guides, Brownies, Sparks, Pathﬁnders, Lones, Trex and Rangers all come from the same roots, ranging in age from ﬁve to 17. Scouting started in England with Lord Baden-Powell and Guiding with his wife Lady BadenPowell, which quickly spread all over the world.

“We could have had a lot more here today but I did not realize so many would come,” Rosemary said. “We have girls from all over Community 24 including Quinte West, Belleville, Stirling, Brighton, Campbellford, Warkworth, Cobourg and Camborne.” She said next year they will open it up to include even more girls as she gets more leaders to come in, and they get permission to use all the

The edging is a different colour as they progress to Brownies, etc. The Time Traveller theme was well orchestrated on stage as a “real” time machine spit out the Lord and Lady themselves. “Don’t get too close – you can see the duct tape,” Rosemary said with a smile. She said she was pleased with the turnout for World Thinking Day and happy the children were enjoying learning about the history of Guiding. “They think about the founders, and the sister Guides and Scouts all around the Anna Walsh of Belleville learns how to make a “God’s Eye” with help from Patty “Rosebud” Storring of Belleville.

space available to them. Lord and Lady Baden-Powell were there, with Donna Chard acting as the Lord and Katrina Boutilier as his Lady. Several other girls dressed in era costumes to show the changes over the years. The crafts and games were a learning experience as well, with children learning to dance the oldfashioned way from the Charleston right up to the Macarena. “We got some of our uniforms and displays from the Guide-Scout Museum in Belleville,” Rosemary says. She notes the museum at Sir James Whitney School is in Building M and is expanding even more. Little girls from Sparks use a twofinger salute which means, “I promise to share and be a friend.” The older Brownies and Guides still have the three-finger salute that was the original from Lord Baden-Powell and comes with a lengthier and more serious promise backed up by the Guide Law. God and the Queen have been replaced in the promise by loyalty to Canada, in keeping with the times. Rosemary adds that there are new uniforms now, with the pink Sparks now slipping into blue with a pink edging.

CVCA to again look at a service agreement By Judy Backus

News – Marmora – The agenda for the February 20 annual meeting of Crowe Valley Conservation Authority was altered somewhat due to several board members being absent. As a result, the watershed advisory board hearing relating to a permit application by Dan Doyle to construct a house on the north shore of Crowe Lake was deferred. The property is partially within 30 metres of a wetland and within the flood limit of the lake, and issues relating to access during flood conditions were listed among the concerns. John West, an accountant with McColl Turner, made his annual visit to deliver information relating to the 2013 financial statements. He commented that there were no changes or improvements required and that the Authority was in a better position than had been projected. He commented that cash reserves were down by $87,000, and were less than the projected $120,000. He said that “while the position has declined, it is still a strong position.” In looking at the statement of operations, he reported a deficit of $82,000 up from $56,000 the previous year. “The deficit,” he said, “is a little more than budget, but when you take out the amortization of $42,000, the actual deficit compared to your budget is only about $4,600 difference, which is a positive turnaround.” He pointed out that with regard to source water and the (Water and Erosion Control Infrastructure (WECI) program,

the funding had been maximized. He reported with regard to operations, that costs were down slightly over the previous year and would have been even lower had there not been a need to replace stop logs at a cost of $16,000. He went on to issue a clean opinion on the drafts saying that “all things considered, it had been a pretty good year.” In response to a question from Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Mayor Ron Gerow on the possibility of developing an asset management plan, West indicated he felt it would be necessary to maximize funding. General Manager, Tim Pidduck commented that Conservation Ontario was aware of the issue and the WECI committee would assist authorities in developing such plans. Gerow asked about how a strategy to refurbish the reserves might be developed and was told by West that it almost becomes part of the annual budgeting process, setting targets and goals. Next on the agenda was a delegation by Kathy Hamilton, her third to the CVCA Board relating to her concerns on the proposed Northland Power proposal. Prior to her presentation, Chair Barry Rand asked what she wanted from the Authority, given that no formal application was before the Board. Hamilton, who lives below what would become the reservoir, responded that she wanted to ascertain the safety of the project. She said the project was more like an industrial development and had nothing to do with the

green energy act. She referred to the point at which a contract was in place as being the time she and her family would have to decide whether to stay or leave. Her main point had to do with the fact that the contract came before approvals were in place. In her report to the board, Regulations Officer Sharlene Richardson mentioned that ten permits had been issued since the last meeting and, with regard to a Limerick Lake subdivision plan, she indicated that the CVCA recommendations and requirements had been incorporated into the site plan with an application to soon be forwarded. She also mentioned changes to the regulation policy manual, which was adapted from the existing local CVCA policy and those of six or seven others. The document was subsequently approved with thanks from the board members. Pidduck provided his report, mentioning a need to confirm the fees for the current year, suggesting that the 2013 schedule be adopted with one change, that being the fact that the rate charged for review of reports should be dependent on the hourly rate of staff. This, he said, “will reflect the true cost for the review and take into account the rates which will be different from conservation authority to conservation authority and the expertise required to review the reports.” Discussion followed with a suggestion that staff communicate with applicants as to what the costs might be. The board also decided to increase the

rental rates at the McGeachie property by two per cent. With regard to water levels, Gerow had read that those at Kosh Lake were at the one in 100 ear level, with Pidduck agreeing it was a significant item with a plan in the works to get the Ministry to confirm what the level is. Chair Barry Rand mentioned that the lakes had been drawn down as much as possible and the maximum flood storage capacity had been created. When it came to the significant rainfall that was expected later that day, Pidduck said the snow pack should absorb the moisture until normal winter temperatures return. WECI funding was discussed independently of other budget items. The feeling was that the Wollaston and Belmont dam projects, relating to dam stability, should be addressed as soon as possible. The authority’s share of the work would amount to $125,715.50. This money could be taken from reserves or could be levied to member municipalities. The decision was to take the necessary funds from reserves. Pidduck went on to report that the flood warning plan would be distributed next week, that the CVCA website was close to completion and that the revenue from the Shaman Power project was $19,000, which represented the second best year for the hydro plant.

Pidduck’s report also included mention of the fact that the Prince Edward Land Trust had indicated an interest in the McGeachie property, which would provide an opportunity for CVCA to raise some revenue. Another income producing item was the possible sale of a five-acre portion of the 400 acre Gut property for use by a resident who with his family, has made use of it for years for hunting purposes. No decision was made on the matter. Although the passage of the budget was deferred until the April 17 meeting, the matter of entering a service agreement with Quinte Conservation was again broached. The issue had been the topic of a well-attended

public meeting held last October when a motion to enter an agreement failed in a tie vote. The new motion, put forward by Gerow and seconded by Sandy Fraser, indicated that the board was being asked for the strategic subcommittee to communicate with Quinte Conservation to determine its willingness to further develop the previous service agreement proposal. The motion also asked the subcommittee to develop an agreement that is clear regarding the savings that would be achieved, staffing commitments regarding current CVCA employees, service levels and any cost of developing the agreement, and that the agreement be provided to the board by May 1. The motion passed.
