G-Hawks’ boss named OJHL’s Executive of the Year

By Erin Stewart

Trenton - John McDonald, Trenton Golden Hawks director of operations and assistant general manager, has been awarded the Ontario Junior Hockey League’s (OJHL) Executiveof-the-Year Award.

The 73-year-old has spent his entire life involved in hockey at all different levels and came to work with the GHawks six years ago. He has brought his passion for the sport to the Hawks and said the past six years with the organization have been exciting.

“The Trenton Golden Hawks are special… There’s something about this organization and I don’t know what it is,” he said.

McDonald said he realized the organization was special when he had a conversation with the late Coun. Doug Whitney.

“He sat me down when I took over and said to me ‘this is a special team, it’s a special place and you’ve got to work for the fans, you’ve got to work for the people,’” said McDonald. He said the team’s relationship with their fans and the city is special and not a lot of Junior ‘A’ teams can walk into the mayor’s office to ask for a favour like he can.

all of the people who work hard to make the organization a success.

“We have a saying here and it’s not about the name on the back of the sweater it’s about the name on the front,” he said. “It’s not an award to me it’s an award to the organization, I’m just the guy up front.”

The fantastic G-Hawks fans also need to take credit, McDonald said, because without them the team wouldn’t be a success. He said they have focused on making the Hawks a community-based team and he is pleased they’ve succeeded at that.

McDonald has played an instrumental role in making the Golden Hawks a number one team. He has helped the organization become a leading location for hosting events like the soldout exhibition game in preparation for the World Junior ‘A’ Challenge and the North-East Conference Showcase held in January.

McDonald also led the charge and the Trenton Golden Hawks were awarded to host the 2017 Dudley-Hewitt Cup, a major accomplishment for the team.

Mayor Jim Harrison had nothing but kind words for McDonald and his accomplishments with the Golden Hawks over the past few years.

Council eyes 2.44% tax increase for residents

By Erin Stewart

Trenton – Quinte West city council is looking at increasing residents’ taxes by 2.44 per cent after the 2016 proposed operating budget was brought forward Monday.

The tax increase across Trenton, Sidney, Murray and Frankford will be the same 2.44 per cent. Based on the average home of $201,000, residents are looking at paying an extra $60.34 a year, or $5.03 a month, on municipal tax bills.

David Clazie, director of corporate & financial services, presented the proposed 2016 operations budget to councillors and outlined a number of increases and a couple of decreases to city spending.

If councillors wanted to no tax increase for residents they would have to cut services and find a savings of $1.17 million.

“We’re maintaining all of the services that we’ve had from prior years and there’s a few things

we are adding,” Clazie said.

“Council wants to maintain that level of service so that’s what it’s costing to provide the service.”

The city’s material and supplies budget has been increased by $465,000 from 2015, bringing the total budget to $5.8 million.

This includes an increase in the city’s hydro across the board by 16 per cent or $127,000, bringing the city’s total hydro budget to $800,000.

Contract services budget has increased close to $500,000 from 2015, now totalling $7.2 million.

The increases include $80,000 to city vehicles’ repair budgets, $27,000 for the fire fleet and $50,000 for the public works fleet.

The external agencies’ costs saw a decrease from 2015 with a $726,000 decrease to a total budget of $21.6 million. This big portion of the decrease is due to a $645,000 decrease in the cost of OPP policing from 2015, thanks to a new OPP costing formula.

The 2016 operating budget

includes all agreements for the city’s unionized staff (CUPE, Professional Firefighters and Volunteer Firefighters) and gross salaries and benefits for the city total $17.1 million. This also includes $85,000 for the hiring of a new position, a grant research analyst, which city council has previously approved.

Coun. David McCue said he thinks the proposed budget is great, adding “hats off to everyone who worked on it.”

Coun.

Bob Wannamaker brought up concern over the 2.44 per cent increase saying, “times are hard out there, people can’t afford it,” and that he hears from people, especially seniors, who struggle to make ends meet.

Councillor Allan DeWitt said he doesn’t take the 2.44 per cent increase lightly because he understands times are tough but “we live in an inflationary world so we have to come up with something between zero and acceptable,” saying he thinks 2.44

St. Paul students’ Dominican trip was a life-changer for many

By Erin Stewart Trenton – Every two years students at St. Paul Catholic Secondary School get the chance to go on an exposure trip to the Dominican Republic to live with a host family for eight days and witness first-hand the life in a developing country.

Brooke Mckissock was one of the 11 students from St. Paul who went on this year’s trip in February and she said it was an experience she will never forget.

“A lot of things did stand out to me but going to the ‘bateyes’ and talking and seeing the little kids there is one thing I’m never going to forget,” she said. “I’ve definitely seen some things there that have changed my perspective on life and how I look at things and it probably will forever.”

The bateyes are the poorest areas of the Dominican Republic, usually surrounded by sugar cane fields that the local people harvest to make very little money.

“I saw a lot of kids who were happy, though,” Mckissock said, fighting back tears as she recalled the experience. “You can’t really understand unless you experience it for yourself. I miss the happiness and I miss the kids because coming back here you don’t see the happiness and the love and the joy that gets radiated down in the Dominican.”

McKissock said the thing from the trip that really affected her was is seeing how happy and giving people can be with so little in the Dominican and how much people in Canada take for granted.

“I’d recommend it to absolutely everybody,” she said. “I have no doubt in my mind, I think everybody should go on a trip like this.”

Camille McCrum said one of the main things she has taken away from her experience in the Dominican Republic was the big sense of community that she felt there, especially from her host family.

“When you’re there you’re auto-

matically friends and family and it’s just great,” she said. “You connect with them immediately and they’re like your real family. We got along with our host brother so well and he was like a real brother, it was great.”

Many students said they have found adjusting to life back in Canada a challenge.

“It’s definitely been difficult,” McCrum said. “Certain things make you mad, when people throw things out and wasting…

You see the world differently from everybody else that didn’t go on the trip.”

Claire Marchand, St. Paul’s Chaplaincy Leader, has been organizing the trip for 15 years. She said she always sees the Dominican Republic trip have some kind of an impact on the students.

“This year in particular, this group has demonstrated a really immediate change,” she said.

“They come back and realize that our own poverty in our first world society is loneliness and people

being so busy and people concentrating so much on accomplishing and accumulating that they don’t always have time for each other the way they do in countries such as the Dominican Republic.”

This year’s exposure trip was sponsored by the Nicholson Catholic Foundation, Knights of Columbus and Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board. Marchand said local Quinte West businesses were also generous and donated items for the students’ silent auction, allowing them to fundraise Students from Trenton’s St. Paul Catholic Secondary School and Belleville’s St. Theand bring down two overhead resa Catholic Secondary School with their supervisors during their exposure to the projectors to donate to schools.

CAO Croll abruptly “moves on”

By Terry McNamee

Stirling -- There has been a sudden vacancy in the most senior administrative office for the municipality of Stirling-Rawdon Township.

On Thursday, March 10, in a decision Mayor Rodney Cooney described as “sudden,” Charles Croll resigned from his positions as Clerk-Administrator and Manager of Public Works, effective immediately.

“It was a mutual agreement that Charles was moving on,” Cooney said when asked whether Croll had resigned or was asked to leave. “He has future plans, and we wish him well.”

Croll was hired as Public Works Manager in April 2012, and became the Township’s CAO in March 2013.

Prior to that, he worked as a project manager at an engineering firm in Kingston.

In January, while still working for the township, Croll became the owner and director of Eastern Infrastructure Services Inc., a Belleville company that provides municipal asset management, sign work, crack sealing and

line painting for small towns in Ontario. Asked whether this potential conflict of interest played a part in Croll’s departure, Cooney said bluntly, “What do you think?”

Deputy Administrator/Treasurer Roxanne Hearns has taken over as CAO on an interim basis, while Deputy Clerk Tawnya Donald is filling in as Clerk. Cooney said there will be an internal review to decide how to fill the vacancies, and the township will be advertising the position of Public Works Manager soon.

OPINION

Obama’s minimalist foreign policy If the US Congress had not imposed a two-term limit on the presidency in 1947 after Franklin D. Roosevelt’s record four electoral victories, President Barack Obama would be a safe bet for a third term next November. He inherited the worst recession since the Great Depression, and the United States Gwynne Dyer now has the healthiest economy of all the major powers, with unemployment back down to 5.5 per cent.

But Obama can’t run for president again, so the time has come for the pundits to start delivering their assessments on the success or failure of his policies. First up is Jeffrey Goldberg, national correspondent for The Atlantic magazine, with a lengthy article called “The Obama Doctrine” on the man’s conduct of American foreign policy over the past seven and a half years.

As you would expect when discussing a man whose basic rule is “Don’t do stupid shit”, Goldberg’s piece is mostly an examination of what Obama didn’t do, not what he did. He didn’t go to war with the Assad regime in Syria. He didn’t get into a new Cold War with Russia over Ukraine. He didn’t bomb Iran, instead making a political deal to block its nuclear weapons ambitions. He didn’t attack North Korea even when it did test nuclear weapons.

None of these foreign policy choices would be remarkable if we were talking about Japan or Canada or Germany. Even in former imperial powers like Britain and France, where the interventionist reflex is still alive and kicking, Obama’s choices would not be controversial.

But in the Washington foreign policy establishment, where every conflict on the planet tends to be redefined as an American problem and almost unlimited military force is available to attack the problem, Obama’s approach was heretical.

Democrats were just as opposed to his heresy as Republicans. Indeed, despite the wreckage of George W. Bush’s invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq that Obama’s administration inherited when it took office in early 2009, his own first secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, was a classic interventionist.

After she left office in 2013, Clinton told Goldberg that “the failure to build up a credible fighting force of the people who were the originators of the protests against Assad ... left a big vacuum, which the jhadists have now filled.” But Hillary Clinton actually got her way on Syria.

The real failure of American policy on Syria in 2011 was the tolerance extended to Turkish, Qatari

and Saudi Arabian shipments of arms and money that were intended to subvert the faltering non-violent revolution and replace it with an armed revolt whose goal was a Sunni Islamic state, not a secular democracy.

Obama and Clinton must share the blame for the fact that the United States became part of this operation in early 2012, providing arms that it sourced from Libya to avoid Congressional oversight. By then the non-violent protests had been largely suppressed and Syria was stumbling into a civil war – which subsequently killed 300,000 people and turned half the country’s population into refugees.

Most Syrians would now agree that it would have been better to accept the failure of the non-violent movement and the continued rule of the execrable Assad regime than to see their country virtually destroyed. I suspect that Obama sees Clinton’s Syrian policy, in hindsight, as the greatest mistake of his time in office – but he did partially redeem himself by refusing to bomb Syria during the “poison gas” episode of 2014.

Clinton also told Goldberg in 2014 that “great nations need organising principles, and ‘Don’t do stupid stuff’ is not an organising principle.” Nobody said it was, but it is a good guide when deciding on actual policies, and Obama has been pretty consistent in observing it even with regard to the Middle East.

His fundamental insight – and his greatest break with the orthodoxy of the American foreign policy establishment – has been to understand that very little that happens or could happen in the Middle East is a threat to America’s vital interests. Even Israel’s well-being is only a sentimental consideration for the United States, not a strategic one, although like all American politicians he is obliged to pretend otherwise.

Only if the Islamist extremists of the Nusra Front and Islamic State were to overrun all of Syria would Israel be in any danger, and the Russian military intervention in support of Assad’s regime since last September has largely eliminated that possibility.

So Obama has been free to concentrate on the issues that he thinks are really important, and that is where he has made real progress.

His foreign policy has been minimalist only with regard to the traditional “strategic” concerns inherited from the Cold War and America’s long, deep and mostly futile engagement with the Middle East. In his “pivot” to Asia, in re-establishing ties with Cuba, above all on the issue of climate change (which he rightly sees as the crucial issue for the next generation and beyond), he has been an activist in his foreign policy – and a largely successful one.

Neither Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump, the two main contenders for the succession, will be a patch on him.

Think the Wynne government is hated?

Think again Editorial - Chris Malette

In the second year of her mandate, Premier Kathleen Wynne has the unenviable approval rating of about 30 per cent of the voters in this province, according to opinion polls released last month.

Those aren’t numbers that any leader should welcome, but early in any term, when the heavy lifting and dirty jobs are done (Ontario Hydro sell-off, anyone?), they’re not unthinkably low.

While the official opposition Progressive Conservatives will tell you the province is on the road to rack and ruin – which is, after all, their job – the reception in rural Ontario, where the Wynne Liberals have been castigated for having lost touch, is decidedly warmer on several fronts.

One of the reasons for that is the fact the governing Liberals have continually winnowed away at the myriad of downloaded costs for all manner of services, offloaded by the Mike Harris Conservatives in the days of the Common Sense Revolution (the same folks who brought you shotgun wedding hospital corporations like Quinte Health Care and amalgamated municipalities).

Last week, for instance, Hastings/Quinte Social Services committee approved a 2016 budget that will bring modest savings to municipal taxpayers.

Part of the reason for that is the gradual assumption by the province of costs for social services that had once been a massive burden to municipalities.

The budget has a net cost of $17,266,964, a reduction of 1.37 per cent from last year’s budget.

“The net cost is actually going down, it’s equivalent to $240,000 (in savings)” said Hastings County’s finance director Sue Horwood.

She presented the budget in a presentation with Social Services Director Steve Gatward.

The savings were achieved, in large part, because the provincial government continues to upload costs that a few years ago were the sole responsibility of municipal governments.

Payments to Ontario Works recipients, one of the biggest budget items for social services organizations, is now largely a provincial responsibility.

This year, Ontario is handling 71 per cent of Hastings County’s Ontario Works costs. Last year it was 57 per cent. That change represents a

$791,100 in savings for taxpayers, locally.

Too, there was good news for many sectors in the provincial budget, brought down two weeks ago. (That is, unless one is a smoker, or drives a gas-guzzling car or truck…)

Brighton Mayor Marc Walas commended the provincial government for its 2016 budget, saying its support for job creation, infrastructure projects and wider access to post-secondary education is “very exciting” as well as “very encouraging.”

He was also encouraged by what he had heard at the Ontario Good Roads Association and Rural Ontario Municipal Association Combined Convention held days earlier in Toronto. Wynne announced her government was tripling the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF) from $100 million to $300 million per year by 2018-19, which Walas said will create “a greater opportunity” for communities under 100,000, such as Brighton, to secure funding for critical infrastructure projects.

Dianne Spencer, executive director of student advancement at Loyalist College, said the college is “delighted” that “greater access” to postsecondary education will be made available to young people who “might not otherwise be able to attend.”

“It makes a huge difference for them to be able to get started,” she said, noting the effect financial assistance programs have had in the past.

“You open the door ... and very good things happen. We know how important that is for our economy.”

But, it’s not all wine and roses, especially when it comes with rural municipalities groaning under the weight of OPP policing costs.

Police services and their costs remain a key issue for many municipal politicians in Hastings County.

It’s early days in this government’s term, but despite the braying from opposition members in these parts, there are actually fronts on which several local municipal leaders think the government is on track.

But, again, when was the last time you heard of any government, at any level, that was widely hailed, week-in and week-out, as all things to all people, universally loved and the best thing since Sir John A? That’s right, never.

Beer by the Bay an “overwhelming success”

By Erin Stewart Belleville – The first ever Quinte Craft: Beer by the Bay festival was a smashing success at Empire Square in Belleville from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, March 12.

“I loved it and it’s all local, that’s what’s great,” said Belleville resident Marie Gendron. “You get to know what you have in your area and so you can look forward to places to go to.”

Gendron said the event is a great tradition for the area to start.

“With this great of a turnout for the first year they have to do it every year, it’s going to be really well attended and they could even expand to a larger location… It’s a great tradition,” she said The festival, put on by Bay of Quinte Tourism and Empire Productions, showcased around 10 local craft breweries, as well as a couple local wineries and cideries. The event also had live entertainment and food from local businesses including Burger Revolution and Steal Machine.

“It’s been an overwhelming success,” said Andy Forgie, musician and promotions manager for the Empire Theatre and Empire Productions.

“At best we expected half of the people we have today, so we are completely overwhelmed but pleasantly overwhelmed by the response and the attendance, it has been beyond our wild-

in the fall, and will look at a bigger venue, possibly Zwicks Park.

“It’s such a wonderful thing to bring this kind of excitement to downtown Belleville, Forgie said. “Craft beer is obviously exploding… now people are finding out that beer can be as cultur-

ally intriguing as wine.”

Forgie said it was very important for them to showcase local products and the Bay of Quinte region is blessed with having all kinds of great wineries and breweries.

One of the local breweries

at the festival was Trenton based Wild Card Brewing Company.

Owner/Brewer Nate Card said he was also very pleasantly surprised by the large turnout.

“It turned out to be an amazing day, way beyond my wildest expectations,” Card said. “We’re lucky we brought more beer than we were expecting so the spike in attendance was awesome Card said he brought 220 litres of beer to the event and went home with one litre left. He featured four different types of beer, a couple new brews, and he said they were a big hit.

was good because a lot of the beer was the first time we’ve ever released it to the public so it was really good to get good feedback.”

Card said he’s really excited to continue to attend the Beer by the Bay event after the first event being such a great success.

“I think that there’s a real market in the Bay of Quinte region for this event,” Card said. “The support yesterday was just mind-blowing for all of us.”

Tickets cost $20 each or $35 for a pair in advance and $5 more at the gate. One ticket got you a mug, while supplies lasted, and two tokens for one beverage. Beverage tokens cost $2 and could be purchased throughout the day.

Let’s get our kids moving!

Lots of good things happen when our kids move more.

Being active doesn’t have to mean planned, structured exercise. All you have to do is encourage that natural urge to ‘Run. Jump. Play. Every day.’

Local Padraic Moore representing Canada in World Amateur Highland Games Championships weight for distance, light weight for distance, hammer throw, sheaf toss and the caber toss, where the contestant flips a massive log the size of a tree.

“I enjoy all of it,” Moore said.

“My best events are the stones, weights for heights are good for me too, just a lot of explosive power.”

Moore said he enjoys embracing his family’s heritage and now wears his kilt for all special occasions.

The top-ranked athlete sticks to a strict training routine at Quinte West YMCA and as far as a diet goes, Moore said he has to eat as much as he can.

“I train usually around five days a week,” Moore said. “I usually spend at least two hours a day and then it can go to two-and-a-half or three hours a day.”

Moore is hoping to win Canada gold at the 2016 championships and is looking to compete in the professional level of the highland

Games in the future.

Between training and working, Moore also supports a family of five with three young boys under the age of four.

Traveling across North America for competitions and soon to Norway to represent Canada does not come cheap. Moore estimates the total trip will cost around $12,000.

Amateur Highland Games athletes do not get paid for their competitions so Moore said he would be very grateful for any sponsorship that could come his way.

“Any little bit helps,” Moore said. “Just to get to Norway and compete for Canada is a really big honour so I’m trying to do the best I can.”

If anyone is interested in sponsoring Moore to help him represent Canada in the 2016 World Amateur Highland Games Championships, Moore can be contacted at 613-8852661 or by email at padraic- Padriac Moore has received his invitation to represent Canada in the 2016 IHGF World Amateur Highland Games Championships moore@hotmail.ca. held in Norway in July.

Trenton – Padriac Moore is Canada’s number one amateur Highland Games athlete and he has punched his ticket to represent his country in the 2016 IHGF World Amateur Highland Games Championships held in Norway in July.

Born and raised in Prince Edward County, Moore, 28, went to high school at Trenton’s St. Paul Catholic Secondary School and was always into sports. It wasn’t until 2012 that Moore decided to try his hand in Highland Games competitions and in a short amount of time he has consistently been top ranked locally, provincially and nationally in the Highland Games and also in Strongman competitions.

“My family’s from ScottishIrish heritage so I’ve always enjoyed watching the games on TV,” Moore said. “I got the invite and it’s just really awesome.”

Alan Doyle to perform at the 2016 Trenton Scottish Irish Festival

By Erin Stewart

Trenton – The Trenton Scottish Irish Festival (TSIF) has partnered with Empire Productions and secured well-known Canadian musician Alan Doyle to for this year’s 26th annual TSIF in September.

Mayor Jim Harrison, members of the Trenton Scottish Irish Festival committee and Mark Rashotte, owner of the Empire Theatre and Empire Productions, were please to announce they snagged the big-name Canadian musician on Monday, March 14.

You’re not sitting in your seat, you’re not yawning and you’re not going ‘oh what time is this over?’”

“We’re really excited, Empire Productions, to be connected to this event,” Rashotte said and he knows Alan Doyle will put on a great per-

formance.

“You’re not sitting in your seat, you’re not yawning and you’re not going ‘oh what time is this over?’” he said. “From the minute the whole thing starts to the time it ends you’re jumping up and down in your seat or standing just having a great time and Alan makes sure you leave with a smile on your face.”

Known for his role as a lead singer in the folk rock bank Great Big Sea and now his successful solo career, Alan Doyle has a standing relationship with the Empire Theatre and Mark Rashotte said they are lucky they managed to get him.

“If it wasn’t for our long history with him and the fact he’s a good guy… it looked like it wasn’t going to happen,” he said. “Next thing you know he was on board because he likes doing events here and so the fact we were able to get him

in is a coo for us this year.”

The TSIF was able to secure Doyle in advance thanks to city council’s decision to invest $30,000 into the TSIF in advance at the March 7, 2015 council meeting.

“To say it’s a signature event that’s an understatement,” said Harrison. “It’s grown tremendously… it attracts over 8,000 people and this year it will probably do better.”

The city is looking at an estimated $500,000 of revenue coming to the area as a result of people traveling and attending the TSIF. Tickets cost $35, including taxes, and go on sale March 17. Tickets can be purchased at the Empire Theatre, through their website theempiretheatre. com or by phone at 613969-0099. Tickets can also be purchased at the Quinte West City Hall and the Mark Rashotte, owner of the Empire Theatre and Empire Productions, Beth Cleaton, chair of the Trenton Scottish Irish Festival Quinte West Chamber of (TSIF) committee, and Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison were happy to announce the TSIF has secured artist Alan Doyle for the Commerce.

Pond hockey tournament raises more than $1,600 for the Special Olympics

$199,900

By Terry McNamee Stirling - The weather was perfect, the pond was frozen and the hockey was fast and furious during the Stirling Pond Hockey Tournament on Saturday, March 5.

Eight teams and more than 60 players took to the ice on Oak Lake, just south of Stirling. At the end of the day, after 215 games had been played overall during the event, championship bragging rights went to the Heavy Haulers team.

But the big winners were the people involved with the Quinte West and Belleville Special Olympics.

“Although we had some teams drop out last minute and had four less teams than last year, we managed to raise a lot more money,” said tournament organizer John Kerr.

“Our event raised $1,220 during the day. As well, we collected $400 in cover charge from the Black Dog restaurant in Stirling on Saturday night that was also given to our event. In total, I delivered $1,620 to the Belleville and Quinte West Special Olympics.”

In addition to the amount each team paid to participate, money was raised with raffles of items donated by area sponsors and with a barbecued lunch. There also were door prizes given out to lucky participants.

Hand crafted poppies will help mark Vimy memorial

ceramic poppies to commemorate the First World War. He was so impressed, he decided the idea could work also in Belleville.

Long active in Eastminster United Church, he negotiated the plan with church officials as part of their Remembrance Day activities last year, plus the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 99, for clearance to use artificial poppies and local pottery craftsman Perry Poupore to actually make the poppies. Thus, last year’s Remembrance Day saw a garden area of the church gaily decorated with the large, colourful poppy replicas, each one hand made by Poupore. Some 120 were ordered and delivered and added significantly to the church’s presence at the corner of Bridge and Herchimer.

Pourpore realized the intent was for the project to be continued and expanded in future years, but was a bit surprised to get an order to get more ready Carolyn Brannen displays one of the finished poppies at Eastminster United for this spring for the 99th Church, waiting to be “planted” on Vimy Day. – Photo by Jack Evans anniversary of the Battle Tipper had occasion to see the moat around the TowA few years ago, Bel- er of London in England leville businessman Roli filled with spectacular

of Vimy Ridge on April 9.

So for the past few weeks, he has been rolling out pads of clay about three millimetres thick, carefully cutting out poppy patterns and fashioning them into a three-dimensional creation. Those interested CAN buy them for $30 and three dollars of that goes to the local Legion’s Poppy Fund under the agreement.

Tipper reported on the excitement of seeing last year’s poppies planted for the first time: “Just before they were planted at 11 a.m. on Nov. 7, we had a brief dedication ceremony, complete with a bugler, Kelly Dixon and piper, Josh McFarlane. Rev. Lloyd Shorten recited ‘In Flanders Fields’ and the poppies were dedicated to the memory of those who served by the Rev. Gary Magarrell.

Community leaders and military personnel also attended.”

For the coming Vimy commemoration, he added, ‘We are having a short dedication ceremony on Satur-

day, April 9 at 11 a.m. Then another prominent Belleville author and historian Orland French, who is working on a new book about Vimy Ridge, will make a short presentation on its significance for Canada and both old and new poppies returning will be planted, along with special music.”

Tipper stressed that this project is not confined to Eastminster members but open to “any community residents. To place an order, please call Eastminster United Church

at (613) 969-5212.” Orders not in time for this spring’s Vimy memorial can be used for this coming Remembrance Day in November.” The project is planned to continue for Remembrance Day for several years into the future until there is no more space around the church for them.

Tipper also noted special 24-hour security has been arranged to protect the ceramic red poppies so their owners can take them home for the winter.

Parents urging government to keep school open

tion School is based on the campus for Sir James Whitney School for the Deaf, along Dundas Street West. Its enrolment is capped at 40 students, which allows educators to work with students individually and in small groups.

Curran believes her daughter is on pace to have a great life, as she has aspirations to be an entrepreneur and is interested in taking technology-related courses in high school.

And this promising future has a lot to do with the support she received at Sagonaska.

“We never would have seen this at a standards school board. We’re excited we’ve had this opportunity,” Curran said. Curran isn’t sure what the future holds for the school, but has been told that teachers assigned to Sagonaska are preparing to go back to their home schools for next year and registrations for programs next year have been frozen.

She’s also been invited to a consultation session at the school on March 23, at which time she expects to have an opportunity to express her thoughts on the school to officials behind the review.

Lesley Lehman is another Sagonaska parent, who is part of the movement to encourage demonstration schools to remain open.

“Demonstration schools do a great service to students with severe learning disabilities, helping support them to become educated, confident and have the ability to self-advocate for themselves,” said Lehman, who is also the chairperson of Sagonaska’s school council.

Curran and Lehman are asking supporters to write to their MPPs to request the schools remain open. The Facebook group can be found at www.facebook. com/DemonstrationSchools2016/?pnref =story . The online petition is at https:// Kim Curran is pictured with her daughter Jessica, a student at Sagonaska www.change.org/p/legislative-assemblyDemonstration School.

By Stephen Petrick

Belleville – A movement to pressure the Ontario government to keep Sagonaska Demonstration School open is well underway.

A Facebook group for supporters and an online petition is gaining steam, as the future of the west-end Belleville school, which serves students with special needs, remains unclear.

Ontario’s Education Minister Liz Sandals recently said in the Legislature that demonstration schools, such as Sagonaska, are being reviewed, but no decisions have been made yet.

The review also applies to Amethyst Demonstration School in London and Trillium Demonstration School Kim Curran, of in Milton.

Cobourg, is one of the parents behind the movement.

16 Quinte West News - Thursday, March 17, 2016

Her daughter Jessica CurranPickell is a Grade 8 student at Sagonaska.

Since moving to Sagonaska her reading level has jumped from a Grade 1 level to a Grade 5 level, Curran said.

She believes it is evidence that the school provides a great service for families of students with disabilities and closing the school would make no sense.

Jessica is due to graduate from Sagonaska this year and begin high school at Cobourg Collegiate Institute next year.

But Curran fears for families who hope to have children at the school next year. She also hopes the school will remain open so staff next year can assist Jessica, if needed, as she transitions back into a mainstream school.

Belleville – Police have confirmed a shooting at Quinte Secondary School Thursday, March 10 was a tactic to divert authorities away from a downtown armed bank robbery that occurred minutes later.

Belleville Police Insp. Mike Callaghan spoke to media on Friday morning, saying the suspect is still at large and anyone who has information on the incidents is asked to call police or CrimeStoppers.

Police have received some tips, he said, but it’s still not clear whether the shooter was from the area or not.

“We are working on many different investigation leads,” he said.

Police were called to the College Street West high school at 2 p.m. on reports of a firearm being discharged inside the school.

Then, at about 2:05 p.m., the Royal Bank at 241 Front St. in downtown Belleville was robbed at gunpoint.

Police say the suspect pulled out a gun and demanded money from tellers. He left the bank with an undisclosed amount of cash, but the gun was not discharged.

There were no injuries in either incident.

Callaghan spoke from QSS’s front lawn at 11:30 a.m. Friday, with principal Liane Woodley and school board director Mandy Savery-Whiteway by his side.

Callaghan praised the efforts of the school staff and students for carrying out a lockdown procedure successfully and for helping police with the ongoing investigation.

He said the investigation is a great example of a “collaborative approach. Keeping our community safe is a priority for all of us.”

Woodley said the school was back open on Friday and classes were continuing as normal, after Thursday’s scare.

The lockdown that occurred Thursday, meant students had to remain in classroom with windows drawn from 2 p.m. until about 3:30 p.m., will after the normal end of school time.

Yet, by Friday, Woodley said, there was a sense of relief and most of the comments she heard Friday morning were from people applauding the school for its efforts.

“I’m so proud of our students and our staff for their response to the situation yesterday,” she said “We are so grateful for our partnerships (with police).”

Savery-Whiteway responded to a question about how a person with a gun could have gotten inside the school.

The Hastings & Prince Edward District School Board has thorough school safety procedures and front doors of schools are normally locked from the outside and guests only enter when someone inside buzzes them in.

Savery-Whiteway said early reports indicate that normal school safety procedures were being followed at QSS Thursday. However, exterior doors are not normally locked.

“In a secondary school where you have students coming and going throughout the day … it’s a difficult thing to monitor,” she said.

Callaghan would not say where specifically the shots were fired inside the school, explaining

that such information “may compromise the investigation.”

But he stressed that no students were targeted in this incident and the school will remain a safe place.

“These types of incidents in Belleville are an anomaly,” he said. “That’s something we’re very proud of.”

Callaghan, a veteran police officer from Ottawa who recently came to the Belleville Police force, was also asked how rare an incident of this nature is.

He said that diversion tactics are extremely rare here, but not unheard of in larger cities. He also said that Belleville Police are conscious of the fact that, when responding to major emergencies, they must also ensure there are other resources available in case another incident happens at the same time.

“We will dedicate resources available to handle an incident,” he said. “But we always have our mind in the state of emergency responsiveness so we can Belleville Police Insp.

QCHS wins silver at OFSAA senior girls volleyball

The Quinte Christian High School Eagles senior girls volleyball team won silver at the provincial championships played in Kitchener March 7-9.

The Eagles met Toronto Christian in the Ontario Federation of Schools Athletics Association A level final on Wednesday, March 9, but lost in three straight sets, 25-13, 25-19, 25-18.

To get to the final they beat Woodland in five sets in the semifinal. They beat Franco in the quarterfinal in another five-set match.

The Eagles were also great in the preliminary round, winning all four games to finish first in their pool. They won eight of 10 sets in pool play.

“We had an amazing time,” said coach Eric Lammers.

Paul Pickard sets speed skating records Quinte Blades speed skater Paul Pickard was crowned a provincial champion after he broke national records in the 777- and 500-metre distances, while recording a perfect 3,000 point total, at the Masters Short Track Provincial Championship in Milton March 11-12.

Pickard set a new record for Masters in the 777-metres, with a time of 1:19.18. His time of 49.28 in the 500-metres was also a new record.

In the Provincial B Championship for skaters age 11 to 29, Matthew Tootle placed fifth overall. He had a terrific fourth-place finish in the 1,500-meters.

Carson Karja, also 11, posted a personal-best time in the 1,500 metre race, to end his season with a strong finish.

Trent Sproule, 10, and Brian Hoffman, 8, both raced competitively at the Provincial C Championship for skaters age 6 to 10. It was exciting racing for both, as they recorded two personal bests each to complete the 2016 racing season.

Midget Cougars hosting Ontario finals

By Bill Freeman

Campbellford – Fans of high calibre fastball are in for a treat this summer when the Campbellford OPG Cougars host the OASA provincial championship. The defending Canadian championship silver medalists will host both the “A” and “B” sides of the showdown July 22-24 with the “A” final being played in Campbellford and the “B” side in Stirling.

The “A” side of the competition will be determined at the OASA midget elimination tourney in Cobourg June 24-26 with the top eight teams heading to Campbellford to battle for the OASA

Midget “A” title. The rest of the teams from the eliminations will play off in Stirling.

Campbellford will have another strong team this season with most of the players that travelled to Fredericton, New Brunswick to play in the Canadian championships back with the Cougars.

There will be plenty of showcase softball in the area this summer including the OASA Junior A eliminations in Grafton on Canada Day weekend. The Junior A/B/C provincial finals will also be played that weekend in Grafton. Grafton will also play host to the Intermediate B/C East finals Aug. 19-21.

CrossFit Belleville Quinte Red Marc Crawford tells Sportsnet Devils earn silver at OMHAs he wants back in NHL Ethan Taylor was in net for the loss.

The loan goal was scored by Michael Andrews while assists went to Logan White and Cardin Guerin Player of the Game Honours went to Ethan Taylor.

Game #4 – Quinte Red Devils (3) – Barrie Colts (2) Both of these teams know each other very well as they recently just concluded a 5 game playoff series where the Devils came back in dramatic fashion to overcome a 2-1 game deficit to win the series 3-2.

Some irony here as the Red Devils would repeat this same feat as they trailed the Barrie Colts 2-1 heading into the final period with a winner destined for the Gold Medal game and the loser headed to the Bronze Medal Game. Brennan Bush was in net for Bantams and played extremely well and gave his team time to mount yet another comeback against the Colts. The Red Devils would tie the game up early in the third period and would score with less than three minutes remaining, sending them to the Gold Medal Game on Sunday against the Whitby Wildcats.

Goals were scored by Jake Campbell, Logan White and Michael Andrews while assists went to Emmet Pierce, Daniel Panetta, Dalton Bancroft and Cameron Supryka Player of the Game Honours went to Emmet Pierce.

OMHA Gold Medal Game The CrossFit Belleville Bantams would need a good start in order to put Whitby on their heels and allow our team’s strong fore-check and defensive skills to take over the game, this did not happen as Whitby scored first on the power play eight minutes into the game. Ethan Taylor would hold the fort as his teammates gathered their legs. Whitby would score early in the second period and would take a commanding 2-0. Just before the second period would end, the Quinte Red Devils would get on the board to make it 2-1 heading into the dressing room.

The third period would see the Bantams in some penalty trouble again and Whitby would take a 3-1 lead with less than nine minutes remaining in the game. There were plenty of good opportunities for the Red Devils, but the Whitby goaltender played well. With just over five minutes remaining the Devils would come within one goal and sent Ethan Taylor to the bench in the remaining 90 seconds.

The Devils came close to tying the game up but the Whitby Wildcats would win OMHA Gold and the local Bantams came home with silver medals.

Goals were scored by Jake Campbell and Michael Andrews while assists went to Derrick Vos, Emmet Pierce, Logan White and Dalton Bancroft.

Player of the Game Honours went to Michael Andrews.

Could Belleville’s most famous hockey coach, Marc Crawford, be back in the NHL soon?

Hockey columnist Damian Cox suggested it’s a possibility in a column that appeared on sportsnet.ca March 14.

Cox wrote that Crawford wants back in the best league in the world, after coaching the last four years in Switzerland for Zurich of the Swiss elite league.

Crawford has 15 years of NHL coaching experience with the former Quebec Nordiques, Colorado Avalanche, Vancouver Canucks, Los

Angeles Kings and Dallas Stars.

This season he returned to the media spotlight, as he’s been coaching Auston Matthews, the projected first overall pick in this June’s NHL entry draft.

“He’s everything you would want in a number one centre,” Crawford recently told a Sportsnet television panel.

There could be a few NHL head coach vacancies by this summer, especially in Canada, as none of the seven teams on this side of the border are likely to make the playoffs.

The CrossFit Belleville Bantams headed to Barrie for the OMHA Championships over the weekend and were ranked third in the overall rankings. A tall order was ahead if they were going to be OMHA gold winners as they would need to knock off the 5th and 6th ranked teams in Ontario (Whitby Wildcats and Barrie Colts respectfully), the Devils would also need to beat the top two teams in the SCTA Halton Hurricanes and the Brampton 45’s along the way.

Game #1 – Quinte Red Devils (4) – Brampton 45’s (1) On Friday the Red Devils opened up against the Brampton 45’s who were second in the SCTA (South Central AAA) and would play tough against the Devils. The CrossFit Belleville Bantams would open the scoring but Brampton answered right back before the first period ended. The Quinte Red Devils would score the only goal of the second period and would head into the dressing room with the lead into the third. Ethan Taylor was in net for the Bantams and played very well stopping all but one shot he faced. Quinte would score twice more in the third and put the game out of reach.

Goals were scored by Emmet Pierce, Keegan Hunt, Michael Andrews and Daniel Panetta, while assists went to Emmet Pierce(2), Danial Panetta(2), Zach Uens, Michael Andrews and Bailey Matthews Player of the Game honours went to Daniel Panetta Game #2 – Quinte Red Devils (5) – Halton Hurricanes (1) The second game of the OMHA tournament would be against the Halton Hurricanes, the top ranked team and the stingiest defensive teams in the SCTA as they had only given up 38 goals in 36 games in regular season play. The Hurricanes would open the scoring just five minutes into the first period but as this Red Devils team has done so many times all season, they battled back and scored 5 unanswered goals to take home the victory. Brennan Bush was in net and continued his great play inside theblue.

Goals were scored by Derrick Vos, Cameron Supryka, Dalton Bancroft, Nolan Seto and Michael Andrews while assists went to Derrick Vos, Nolan Seto(2), Ryan Loiselle(2) and Isaac Langdon(3) Player of the Game Honours went to Ryan Loiselle.

Game #3 – Quinte Red Devils (1) – Whitby Wildcats (3) Saturday would have the Red Devils facing the two top ranked teams back to back as they played the Whitby Wildcats in the first game of the day.

Whitby would open the scoring in the first period and would take the lead late into the second period before Quinte answered back with less than two minutes left in the period. The third period was no doubt the worst period these boys have played in a very long time and handed Whitby the victory.

Shrimp from Campbellford?

First Ontario Shrimp an Ontario first

By Sue Dickens Campbellford – The owners of First Ontario Shrimp soon realized after deciding to explore aquafarming that raising shrimp is very different from raising pigs but the success of their new venture is a testament to the family’s pioneer spirit.

Farming a 20-gram shrimp is definitely not the same as raising a 300 pound pig, but for Paul Cocchio, his wife Tracy, and his son Brad, it’s the differences that are making their new business choice an example of how thinking outside the box can be a recipe for success in the changing world of agriculture.

“There is very little literature on any of this.

It’s been a learning curve for sure,” said Brad after providing a somewhat limited tour of the facility on the family’s 400-acre farm.

Viewing of the 200 x 40 foot converted barn from a doorway was necessary because of concerns of contamination of the facility that has strict “biosecure measures in effect,” noted Brad.

“It doesn’t take much to wipe them out,” he said as he talked about the planning and research that had to be done before First Ontario Shrimp could sell its product to consumers.

“We had five years of red tape before we could even begin to build the facility for the shrimp,” he lamented. One of the steps involved getting Pacific White Shrimp added to an aquaculture species list by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources.

“After the approvals we renovated one of our three pig barns. We had to pour the cement tanks, line them with a pond liner and put in air pumps and heaters and of course (sea) salt in the Please see page B2

There are many ways to cook/prepare Pacific White shrimp but barbecuing is one method that is very popular. Photo submitted The interior of the 200 x 40 foot converted pig barn is home to Pacific White shrimp which are being raised for consumption by Brad Cocchio (pictured) and his father Paul.

water,” Brad explained. That took two years to complete.

“It was quite a change going from raising an animal that you could see what it looked like to raising shrimp underwater where you can’t see anything and you don’t even know if it’s eaten its food,” he added with a grin.

“We’re growing a bacteria in the water called biofloc (a protein rich aggregate of organic material and micro-organisms including bacteria, protozoa and algae) and this biofloc consumes excess feed, shrimp waste and the shrimp shells which accumulate when they moult and grow into a bigger shell,” he added.

For the Cocchios, shrimp farming was something of a mystery, but they have learned what works and what doesn’t. Since

they set up the aquaculture venture last year, they have implemented several improvements.

The family of farmers is very proud of the fact that there is no negative environmental impact, which makes the process sustainable and eco-friendly.

The shrimp are 12 days old when they arrive from a hatchery in Florida and three or four months later the 15 to 20 gram crustaceans are ready to be shipped to market.

John Bil, owner of a relatively new seafood shop and lunch counter in Toronto, called Honest Weight, is their biggest customer.

“We ship about 100 pounds a week to Toronto,” said Brad. “We also get local people contacting us with orders for the shrimp.”

The “sweet tasting” shrimp sells for $18 per

The Hastings/Quinte Social Services committee approved a 2016 budget Wednesday, March 9 that will bring modest savings to municipal taxpayers.

The budget has a net cost of $17,266,964, a reduction of 1.37 per cent from last year’s budget.

“The net cost is actually going down, it’s equivalent to $240,000 (in savings)” said Hastings County’s finance director Sue Horwood.

She presented the budget in a presentation with Social Services Director Steve Gatward.

The budget for social services is shared by Hastings County’s 14 member municipalities, plus Belleville and Quinte West. The money these municipalities commit to social services each year goes to several programs to help the most vulnerable, such as Ontario Works, social housing programs, and child care subsidies.

Extra immunization clinics available to avoid student suspensions Hastings Prince Edward Public Health has been working with local schools to ensure student immunization records are up-todate. Under the Immunization of School Pupils Act, public health is required to maintain up-to-date immunization records for all students. This year, parents of children aged 7 and 17 have until April 15 to get this information updated with public health.

“We prefer to not suspend students, which is why we send out two rounds of notices and offer extra immunization clinics. Parents still have plenty of time to get their

children’s immunization records up-to-date,” says Bill Sherlock, Program Manager with HPEPH. “We just sent out the second round of notices this week,” he added.

As of February, a total of 2,000 notices were sent to parents of children age 7 and 17 as an initial notice to update their child’s immunization records.

As of March, a total of 1,200 students will receive final suspension notices. However, it is important to note that students still have plenty of time to update their immunization records prior to the actual suspension date of

April 15.

In the event of an outbreak, public health staff must be able to act quickly and advise those who are not immunized so they can take actions to protect themselves. Without up-to-date immunization records, public health cannot reach unprotected people as quickly. Requiring proof of immunizations also prompts parents to ensure their child’s immunizations are current, which will help protect children from vaccine-preventable diseases.

“If your child received a suspension notice,

we are asking parents to check their child’s immunization records,” added Sherlock. “If records are up-to-date, please notify public health. If your child requires additional immunizations, please make arrangements to vaccinate your child, either through your health care provider or at a public health clinic. It is important for parents to notify public health after their child has been immunized.”

To find an immunization clinic near you, visit the HPEPH website at www.hpeph.ca or call 613-966-5500, ext.221 or toll-free at 1-800-267-2803, ext. 221.

TRAVEL

Touring Peru’s Spectacular Highlands

A remaining temple wall at the Temple of Wiracocha.

This church is often referred as to “the Andean Sistine Chapel”.

By John M. Smith

After visiting the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, and Cusco, the former capital of the Inca Empire and oldest continuously inhabited city of the Western Hemisphere, my next Peruvian adventure was to head north, through the Highlands, to Lake Titicaca, to explore the fascinating floating reed islands. However, as I headed north on my latest quest, I discovered that the Highlands themselves offered spectacular scenery and a plethora of significant historical sites. Indeed, the journey from Cusco to Puno, along the so-called “Road of the Sun”, turned out to be a very worthwhile adventure trek all on its own.

It’s told that, once upon a time, the mythical founders of the vast Inca Empire (Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo), by divine mandate of the Sun God, emerged from the cold waters of Lake Titicaca to search for the most fertile valley, and they found what would later become the Empire’s capital city: Cusco. Therefore, I was following this same ancient route, this magical path, only in reverse, for I was heading north from Cusco to Puno.

As I journeyed from Cusco, I soon passed San Sebastian, a picturesque farming town, and Oropesa, where Pan Chuta bread is still made in the ancient way, using the same natural ingredients and the old colonial-style ovens. I then arrived at the small town of Andahuaylillas, where I visited what’s often referred to as “The Andean Sistine Chapel”. It was built in 1580, and it appears as relatively plain and ordinary from its exterior, but with three large sculptured crosses on its grounds.

However, once I entered the church, I found that it was filled with a dazzling display of beautiful frescoes and carvings, and its ceiling was decorated in

floral patterns and gold leaf. Quite a contrast!

The next place of great interest along this route was at Raqch’i, where I found what remains of a large archaeological complex that included the Temple of Wiracocha, which at one time was said to stand 100 metres long, 26 metres wide, and 14 metres high. Quite a temple! I was still able to see what’s left of several giant columns there, and portions of walls that were built of stone, with a layer of adobe above this.

I was also able to see that this site had been much more than just a gigantic Incan temple, for there had been several storehouses, terraces, and living quarters adjacent to it.

As I continued along this route, I stopped at the small city of Sicuani for lunch, where I finally tasted some alpaca meat (not bad!), and then rode past herds of cattle, sheep, llamas, and alpaca before rising above the tree line into a much more rugged, barren landscape. I eventually arrived at La Raya, the highest point on this journey, at an altitude of more than 12,000 feet!

Breathing is somewhat difficult up here in this mountain pass, and some visitors seemed to be literally gasping.

This would not be a great place to go for a brisk hike or a jog before acclimatizing. However, the view of the strikingly desolate, treeless land and the distant snow-capped mountains was truly incredible! Of course, there were also some souvenirs for sale up here at booths that were set up by the locals for the tourists!

I next stopped at the town of Pucara, where I visited its museum, to learn about a pre-Incan civilization that once inhabited this area, and I also visited a nearby archaeological site, the remains of one of Peru’s oldest civilizations. While here, I was told that this town was renowned for its “Toritos de Pucara” (little bulls of Pucara), and

I discovered that tourist items were for sale at the very summit of the mountain pass.

I noticed that several of the local houses had decorative, sculpted bulls mounted over their doorways – hopefully bringing happiness, wealth, and fertility there.

I also visited the area’s largest city, Juliaca, which has the major airport for the area (and the longest landing strip in Latin America). Like Chicago, it’s nicknamed “The Windy City” (because of its location on the exposed Collao Plateau). However, I didn’t find Juliaca particularly beautiful, for it’s primarily a commercial and industrial centre, and there was lots of garbage littering the city streets.

After getting through the bustling city of Juliaca, it’s just a short drive of 43 km. to Puno, on the shore of Lake Titicaca (the highest navigable lake in the world). I found that Puno has less than 4 km. of flat land between its shoreline and its foothills, for the city is surrounded by water and mountains; therefore, the expanding city must build upwards onto the hillsides, with the poor having to live further up, often on very steep slopes, with footpaths and no automobile accessibility. Also, the city’s high elevation leads to colder average temperatures being the norm. However, Puno does attract a lot of tourists, for Lake Titicaca is, like Machu Picchu, a ‘must see’ on any visit to Peru - and I found that this trip from Cusco to Puno, through Peru’s Highlands, was also very worthwhile!

LIFESTYLES

The Good Earth:Canada Blooms-It’s A Party

The annual trip to Canada Blooms, with the 2016 theme of It’s A Party, has been completed. I was privileged to ride down to the show with a group of enthusiastic gardeners for the first day of Canada’s premier garden celebration. Last year, the building was labelled the Direct Energy Centre and this year it is Enercare. Folks, whatever the name of the building, the site is and always will be Exhibition Place with the Princes’ Gates as the welcoming entrance. No matter how many times I’ve been to the grounds, I feel as if I am connected to Canadian history when I pass through the gates.

It was a beautiful day, with sunny skies and warm spring temperatures, and traffic was very light, even on Toronto’s largest linear parking spot, the Don Valley Parkway. So, we all arrived in good time and great spirits.

The show itself was excellent with everything one could reasonably expect. There were two exhibits that really stood out for me. The first was the Landscape Ontario (LO) exhibit.

No less than 13 volunteers from Wentworth Landscapes (Kingston, Belleville, Picton offices) were on hand to help the more than 80 professional members from across the province. As

B8 Section B - Thursday, March 17, 2016

someone actively involved in the education initiatives of LO, it is especially nice to note that six post-secondary institutions had students on the floor working. I believe special mention should be given to Jim Philip, Operations Manager, who oversaw the building of Choose Your Path.

The second feature garden was H2O Yeah! by Genoscape Landscaping who’s 2015 garden stopped me in my tracks. This year, theirs was the second garden I purposely sought out.

These folks have a special affinity for water and the creativity of their design subtly draws you into their realm. In this exhibit, I saw people just standing there enjoying the natural ambience even though they were inside a big ol’ building in the middle of the city.

I can’t think of any better examples as to why folks wouldn’t seek out professional members of Landscape Ontario.

On a slightly sadder note, I did miss the presence of Shibui Landscaping and Arthur Skolnik: a gentleman who had a profound influence on our industry.

The Flower Show, put on by Canada Blooms’ co-partners The Garden Club of Toronto, was very interesting

and entertaining. I’m confident that most artists would label me “Philistine” because “I don’t know art but I know what I like.” Quite often I am mesmerised by a piece that I just can’t bend my mind around. This year (perhaps due to maturity?) it was a pleasure to see wonderful specimens, e.g. a fully blooming, perfectly proportioned kumquat standard, and the wall art display of framed succulents. This is something that we will definitely try in the Clost household.

There were many products available in the marketplace and at various locations, one of which was a vertical wall being displayed at the Jill Jensen booth. Basically, it is a system of plastic panels that stack as high and as wide as you would like with generous planting pockets. It is ideal for apartments and patios.

Blooms is “co-located” with the National Home Show (almost 600 exhibitors) and one can easily get lost in the hot tub section alone. The Blooms ticket also gives access to the home show.

One of the “fun” parts of the day was discovering the food trucks just beside the celebrity stage. Gentle Reader these aren’t your grampa’s

chip trucks; these things are gourmet kitchens on wheels. They’re definitely worth seeking out when you’re ready for a gnosh.

However, the main reason for going, according to my fellow bus-trippers, was to see flowers and trees in bloom. Well, GR, the order form for the exhibitors lists more than 81 different perennials, 23 different shrubs and standards, 10 deciduous trees and 11 evergreens, all in amazing quantities. This is the epitome of nursery skill and it wonders me just how good these people are with their ability to coax Mother Nature into getting out of bed so early in the season.

The show runs until Monday, March 20 so there is plenty of time left for a fund and easy day trip. Driving there is simple (for me that means only a few turns) with lots of parking.

Quinte Conservation is warning people to be careful along waterways. Photo by Stephen Petrick

A water safety statement issued by Quinte Conservation last week will remain in effect until March 21, as the environmental agency continues to warn people about rising rivers, creeks and streams and snow melt.

“While we don’t expect any flooding, we want the public to be aware of the safety concerns surrounding spring melt conditions,” says Water Resources Manager Christine McClure.

“Over the next week we should experience a typical spring runoff with ponding of water in low lying areas and some nuisance flooding. We expect our river systems can handle the increased flows from the melt at this time.”

Quinte Conservation staff will be monitoring conditions closely. The initial Water Safety Statement was issued on March 7.

Quinte Conservation reminds residents to be extremely cautious about changing ice conditions. Ice conditions should be considered unsafe. Parents

and guardians are urged to keep children off the ice. Stream banks will be slippery and treacherous. Dams and other water control structures should be avoided at all times due to strong currents. Hypothermia is a real concern for anyone who falls into the water, even in a ditch or small creek.

Residents should take care to monitor their sump pumps and ensure they are in good condition during this type of weather because of local ponding water.

Quinte Conservation issues a Water Safety Statement such as this one when high river flows, unsafe banks, melting ice or other factors could make waterways dangerous for anglers, boaters, swimmers, children or pets.

Quinte Conservation is a community-based environmental protection agency. It serves 18 municipalities in the watersheds of the Moira, Napanee and Salmon rivers and Prince Edward County.

Next issue: APRIL 16/16

The costs to provide emergency services in the Hastings-Quinte region is going up, owing largely to an increase in service calls over the past year.

It’s another reminder that as the baby boom demographic ages, there will be an increased demand on health care services, including ambulance calls.

Hastings/Quinte’s Emergency Services Committee approved a 2016 budget at its monthly meeting March 9. It comes with a request for a 4.87 per cent increase in spending.

Net costs for emergency services for 2016 are listed at $7,523,674, up from $7,174,205 last year.

Now that the committee has approved the budget, it must also be approved by Hastings County council.

When that happens, the budget will be passed on and shared by Hastings County’s 14 member municipalities, plus Quinte West and Belleville.

The budget was presented by Hastings County Emergency Management Services Director John O’Donnell and Hastings County Director of Finance Sue Horwood at the March 9 committee meeting.

Horwood said that the number of ambulance calls received in 2015 was up 5 per cent from last year. The total number of calls in 2015 was 30,342, up from 28,900 in 2014. That factors into the increased budget for

2016.

Also, service costs were up slightly, owing to the fact that 2016 is a leap year and there’s one extra day on the calendar. The costs for salaries in the EMS department in 2016 is $10,680,800, up from $10,375,000 in

2015. Both the leap year and a union agreement, which results in a 1.8 per cent pay increase to workers, contributed to that increase.

The costs for medical supplies is also up slightly, to $388,000 from $384,000 last year.

“If we’re doing more calls, we’re going to use more medical supplies,” Horwood said.

Horwood also acknowledged that while this budget calls for an increase, another Hastings County joint committee, social services, approved a reduced budget. County number crunchers factored that in, when deciding to present this increased budget request.

Hastings County Chief Administrative Officer Jim Pine also said that county departments collectively work together to ensure that budget requests are fair for partnering municipalities.

“There’s no fluff in the budget,” he said.

Student jazz festival

This spring brings another opportunity for talented young jazz students across Eastern Ontario to try their skills out with the pros.

The annual TD Jazz Education Program is part of the annual Prince Edward County Jazz Festival in August to promote jazz interest among students who are serious about their jazz music.

This year, Blair Yarranton at Centennial Secondary school’s music department, reports some 75 young jazz fans from secondary schools in Whitby, Ottawa, Agincourt and Oshawa will gather on the weekend of April 15-17 at a deluxe Prince Edward resort to study and learn with some of Canada’s top jazz performers. Yarranton speaks for the TD Jazz Education Program. The students will also have an opportunity to show off their new skills in their own concert in The Regent Theatre, Picton. That concert is set for 2 p.m. on Sunday, April 17 when they will share the stage with the Brian Barlow Big Band. Barlow has been creative director of the Prince Edward County Jazz Festival for a number of years and is rated as one of the best drummers in Canada.

Before the performance though, the young people will spend hours with Barlow and similar jazz stars as mentors, learning tricks of the trade. They will include Scott Alexander, (bass) Mark Ferguson I(trombone), Mike Francis (guitar) and Robi Botos, (keyboard.)

For information on concert tickets, visit: www.pecjazz. org.

Farm Stewardship Lunch and Learn On Tuesday, March 22, 2016 from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Thurlow Community Centre there will be a farm stewardship lunch and learn.

This workshop will provide farmers with information about hot topics on the farm including: climate change on the farm, soil retention and nutri-

ent levels, best management practices, and stewardship and technical support programs.

Prof. Ralph Martin from the University of Guelph will

A Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan stewardship technician samples soil at a local farm. Submitted photo

discuss how climate change can affect farming operations and adaptive practices farmers can use. Martin grew up on a beef and hog farm in Wallenstein, ON. After 4-H, his formal education includes, a B.A. and a M.Sc. in Biology from Carleton University and a Ph.D. in Plant Science from McGill University. In 2001, he founded the Organic Agriculture Centre of Canada (www.oacc.info) to co-ordinate university research and education pertaining to organic systems, across Canada. In 2011, he was appointed as professor and the Loblaw Chair in Sustainable Food Production at the Ontario Agricultural College, University of Guelph.

Plus, there will be presentations on: applying GIS analysis to identify highly erodible areas in fields, which will help with the adoption of Best Management Practices (BMPs) to keep soil on fields and out of local waterways. How soil testing can provide baseline nutrient levels and then help with setting target levels to save money on fertilizer, reduce phosphorus runoff, and optimize crop yields. A demonstration of the free OMAFRA AgriSuite, an online web application that helps determine the best ways to manage nutrients on the farm.

The Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan will discuss the importance of

reducing phosphorus levels in local waterways and the Bay of Quinte. The Healthy Soils Program will show farmers how to implement a soil testing program on their farm and the importance of cover crops in phosphorus and erosion control. As well, there will be information on stewardship funding and technical support programs, to help

implement best management practices on the farm.

This is a free event. However, participants are asked to register, so there will be accurate numbers for lunch.

From 1967 to 1994 James was an employee of the Province of Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities, (formerly the Department of Labour) in Skilled Trades. During this period of his employment he embarked on assignments in Australia and Zimbabwe.

In 1994 he chose early retirement from the Provincial Government and in 1996 he and Pat moved to Brighton.

OBITUARY

Hamilton, norma may

OBITUARY

It is with sadness the family of Norma Hamilton announces her passing on February 23, 2016 at Carling View Manor in Ottawa just 6 months short of her 100th birthday.

Norma was born in Smithfield Ontario on August 14, 1916, the second daughter to Corey Snider and Emma Pearce Snider.

She lived at their Smithfield family home where she grew up with older sister Lenna and younger brother Ted. Younger sister Corrine died in her infancy during the great flu epidemic.

Norma attended Brighton High School, where she graduated as class valedictorian in 1934. Norma worked briefly in Toronto during the early years of WWII; otherwise she lived her entire life and raised her family in the Brighton area until moving to a retirement home in Ottawa in December 2014 to be closer to her two sons Peter and Philip. Over the last few months her physical health had been failing and she slipped away peacefully in the early hours of Feb 23. She was fortunate enough to have maintained her sense of humour and cognitive skills to the very end.

Norma was predeceased in 2002 by her husband of 58 years, Frank Hamilton, also by her dear older sister, Lenna Snider Baker in 2015 and her brother, Ted Snider in 2010.

Norma was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by her 3 children, Peter of Ottawa (Lise Hamilton-Carriere), Philip of Chelsea, QC (Joanne Earle) and Nancy of Mission, BC (the late Joe Garneau) as well as 6 grandchildren, 1 great grandchild and numerous nieces and nephews spread across the country.

Norma was well recognized and loved in the Brighton community and will be missed by all who had the privilege to know her. She worked for many years as secretary/office administrator for Doug Haig Plumbing and simultaneously ran the licensing bureau for the Department of Transport from that office. The members of the Snider family were well known in the Smithfield-Brighton area for their musical talents and her brother Ted’s voice was recognized for many years as the voice of Trenton radio. Sister Lenna was, of course, ‘Brighton’s piano teacher’ for some 75 years. Norma loved to play bridge and was a founding member of the ‘bridge club’, which survived in various forms for nearly 70 years. She was a member of Trinity St. Andrew’s church and was a stalwart of the church choir for decades, along with her sister Lenna who was well known as organist and choir leader.

She will be remembered for her cheerful nature, her engaging smile, her quiet grace and dignity by everyone who knew her.

A celebration of her life will be held in Brighton at the Trinity St. Andrew’s Church Hall on Sunday May 29 from 1-4 pm. All are welcome.
