Madoc’s Stein wins Carnegie medal for bravery

An emotional Calvin Stein of Madoc, accepts a drawing created by shy little Rylee Vilneff, of Tweed, whom he saved from being trampled by runaway ponies at the Tweed fair July 9, 2016, for which he received the Carnegie medal for his bravery.

Sue Dickens/Metroland

BY SUE DICKENS

Madoc — Known for risking his life to save a curly-haired little girl he didn’t know, who was in immediate danger of being trampled by a team of ponies at the Tweed fair, Calvin Stein gave an emotional speech to friends and family gathered Sat. April 8, to witness him being presented with the Carnegie medal for his bravery.

“I didn’t do it to be a hero,” he told the crowd that filled the Centre Hastings Park hall to honour a man who,

from day one, has found it difficult to think of himself as a hero.

The little girl, Rylee Vilneff, of Tweed, and her brother Liam and her father Terry were in the crowd too and he talked about that fateful day on July 9, 2016.

“When the ponies hit me first I threw Liam out of the way and they took me down. I was looking for Rylee and Calvin was behind me. When I got up and looked over she had been thrown by him to safety,” their dad

told the Central Hastings News.

It was at the end of the speeches that little Rylee, who is four years old now, quietly walked up to Stein and gave him a drawing she had created.

“I still have the paintings her and her brother give me in August,” said Stein with a catch in his throat. “I still cherish them every day.”

During his speech in his usual humble way, Stein turned the attention from himself to his passion, his pride in those who protect this coun-

try: “Everybody who knows me, I’ve always said and still believe a hero is someone who signs up for what they’re doing ... the men and women of our Canadian Armed Forces and the men and women of our police forces, and our EMS and that includes ambulance and fire departments ... they are the real heroes.”

Against the backdrop of a Canadian flag Stein wanted displayed for the ceremony, he asked for a moment’s for those brave men and women who have died.

Recounting that fateful day when he saved Rylee, Stein asked three people who were at the scene, to join him: Bart Lake, deputy fire chief of Madoc Township; OPP Cst. Rick Pawls; and Stein’s brother-in-law Sgt. Art Rylski of the Canadian Armed Forces. He presented each with a rose to give to their wives, “because your wives are the ones that stay awake worrying about you when you guys are out there defending our country, fighting fires and serving the public.”

The medal was presented by Joe Allison, a medal recipient himself, who “rescued a man out of a well unconscious from carbon monoxide,” in Picton in 1966. “I volunteered because I thought it would be a great honour to do it,” Allison told the Central Hastings News.

Many more words of thanks and praise for others, including his hunting group of friends, followed, then Stein told the crowd, “To receive a medal from this prestigious organization (Carnegie Hero Fund Commission) is overwhelming ... I will display this medal proudly and cherish it forever.”

Honour Award winner humbled by recognition

Pam Quinlan was almost speechless after winning the Norwood District Minor Sports Honour Award on April 9.

Bill Freeman/Metroland

BY BILL FREEMAN

Norwood – Volunteering makes communities healthier and more vibrant places to live in and play in, says Pam Quinlan,

the “very surprised” recipient of Norwood District Minor Sports prestigious Honour Award.

A long-time treasurer for the organization, Quinlan jumped back into hockey this year after more than a dozen years managing the Norwood Hornets novice rep team as part of a family collective that included husband Chris (trainer) and son Jeffrey (goalie coach) and nephews Joe Curry (head coach) and Brendan Curry (assistant coach).

It was like she had never left the rink.

“Chris and I enjoyed it so much. It was exciting,” she said of the season. “We had great kids and great parents. It was an excellent year.”

The Honour Award presented April 9 came as a complete surprise. Quinlan’s portrait will join the wall of honour inside the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre.

“It truly is an honour,” she said, trying to gather her thoughts. “I really enjoyed getting back into it this year, especially with the boys. Minor sports is wonderful. I’ve watched kids grow up through it and what they learn

on and off the ice is incredible.”

Quinlan was NDMS treasurer for eight years and played a “major role” in helping the organization build a contingency fund.

She was one of the organizers of the annual fall country video dances which, when they were held, were the organization’s largest fundraiser. She was also the treasurer of the first NDMS Euro team in 2003, working twoand-a-half-years on fundraising even though she wasn’t travelling with the team.

“She’s one of the reasons minor sports continues to thrive in this area,” NDMS president Jim McMillan said.

“You have to get involved, it makes your community better,” Quinlan said.

Quinlan spent many hours in the frigid Brethen Coliseum, the “old barn,” watching her son play goal and her husband coach.

When the A-N Centre opened in 2004 it marked the beginning of a new era.

“This is wonderful. This is my pride and joy, this place. This is what makes our community, people coming together.”

Campbellford hospital meets lab accreditation standards Campbellford — Campbellford Memorial Hospital’s (CMH) laboratory services completed the Institute for Quality Management in Healthcare (IQMH)’s assessment on April 6, producing “excellent results” indicating the hospital’s lab achieved 100 per cent on conformance rates out of a total of 472 standards that are reviewed.

“This mandatory assessment confirmed that CMH continues to have an excellent laboratory quality management system in place which has been consistently sustained and improved upon since the last OLA on-site assessment in 2013.

“We are really proud of our laboratory team,” said Maurice Goulet, lab manager.

“These exemplary results demonstrate the tremendous pride they take in their work and their commitment to quality care. This is a team that clearly understands the value of hard work, shared vision, and excellence in achieving the accreditation standards,” he added.

The laboratory accreditation process occurs every four years and is performed by Ontario Laboratory Accreditation (OLA), a division of the quality management program, laboratory services’ (QMPLS) provincial regulatory agency, which is operated by the Ontario Medical Association (OMA).

A press release announced the accreditation.

A four-member accreditation team of laboratory professionals from across the province spent from April 4 to 6 visiting the hospital laboratory.

The accreditation process is based on an international set of standards specifically for medical laboratories.

Brad Hilker, CEO commented, “CMH is committed to safe, quality care and service excellence for our patients. Our lab accreditation results confirm that we are providing safe and effective lab services for our patients. I applaud and recognize the professional commitment of our laboratory team and their focus on excellence in patient care.”

The bagpipes moaned as the Madoc 363 Legion Colour Party and 385 Army Cadet Corps marched to the Cenotaph. Officials spoke of the sacrifice, importance and the carnage of this battle a century ago – stating, simply, We Will Remember.

The Vimy Ridge plaque now stands next to the Madoc Cenotaph- it reads;

“The early morning of April 9, 2017 marks the 100th Anniversary of Canada’s involvement in Vimy Ridge.

Many brave men went over the top that Easter morning, not knowing what lied ahead of them … a three day battle … Canadians charged into battle with one task in mind, “Capture the Ridge.” … Canada’s success that no other nation could accomplish … at a heavy toll … men’s lives and injuBob Watson heralded Vimy Ride with “Amazing ries (11,285) including beloved fathers Grace”. His bagpipes saluted the colour party and and sons from Madoc-Huntingdon … that should never be forgotten. We cadets’ march to the cenotaph.

Bill to proclaim Ontario Craft Beer Week has all-party support

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Northumberland-Quinte West – A bill to proclaim the third week in June as Ontario Craft Beer Week, introduced by MPP Lou Rinaldi, has received second reading and been referred to the Standing Committee on Private Bills and Regulations with all-party support.

The bill, if passed, will help officially recognize the local craft beer industry’s “tremendous growth in both sales and popularity” over the past decade, and encourage Ontarians to discover local craft beer made by independently owned craft breweries in their own communities, Rinaldi stated in a news release..

“The care and craftsmanship they put into their beer is recognized in the quality of products available,” he said. “The Ontario Craft Brewers have worked very hard to establish their brand and high level of standards.”

Ontario’s local, independently-owned craft beer industry has become an economic driver in communities across the province, directly employing more than 1,500 people, which represents 30 per cent of all direct brewing industry jobs in Ontario. It also supports countless spinoff jobs in agriculture, manufacturing, packaging, and tourism.

Ontario craft beer is handcrafted, made in small batches with lots of attention and care using locally sourced, allnatural pure ingredients with no additives

or preservatives and using the brew masters’ own authentic special recipes.

There are now more than 500 unique brands currently produced by OCB members and other breweries. These beers, made from fresh, all natural ingredients, follow classic brewing styles such as Pilsner, Vienna-style lager, Nut Brown Ale, Bitters, Imperial Stout or new advanced styles like Hemp, Cranberry Wheat, Cask-conditioned Lager, Mead, Coffee Porter “Mr. Rinaldi has always been supportive of Churck-Key, and has had a part in helping us thrive for the past 17 years.” said John Graham, owner of Church-Key Brewing on County Road 38 north of Campbellford.

While offering praise of the bill, Graham said the “next logical step is to create sales channels for Ontario grown beer ingredients, such as barley and hops.” “ We will be looking to supportive MPPs like Lou to help us gain access to farmers markets to increase the net benefit to our rural economies by including our farmers in the equation.”

This June Ontario Craft Brew Week will mark its eighth year as a grassroots celebration featuring sampling events and festivals held in independent craft breweries, pubs, bars, restaurants and event venues across the province.

Correction Campbellford’s Bantam LL player Allie Barrons’ name was wrong in the article last week about the team winning the League “C” championship. Mike Forestell, as-

sistant coach was also among those who coach Pete Crothers spoke highly of for their efforts. We regret the error and the omission.

OPINION

Cui Bono on retaliatory air strikes?

Donald Trump has spent a lot of time in the courts, so he must be familiar with the legal concept of “cui bono” – “who benefits?” When a crime is committed, the likeliest culprit is person who benGwynne Dyer the efited from the deed.

But he certainly did not apply that principle when deciding to attack a Syrian government airbase with 59 cruise missiles early Friday morning.

The attack against Shayrat airbase, the first US military action against Bashar al-Assad’s regime in six years of civil war, was allegedly a retaliation for a poison gas attack on the rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhoun three days before that President Trump blamed on the Syrian regime. But who stood to benefit from the chemical attack in the first place?

There was absolutely no direct military advantage to be derived from killing 80 civilians with poison gas in Khan Sheikhoun.

The town, located in al-Qaeda-controlled territory in Idlib province, is not near any front line and is of no military significance.

The one useful thing that the gas attack might produce, with an impulsive new president in the White House, was an American attack on the Syrian regime.

Who would benefit from that? Well, the rebels obviously would. They have been on the ropes since the Assad regime reconquered Aleppo in December, and if the warming relationship between Washington and Moscow resulted in an imposed peace settlement in Syria they would lose everything. (Only a few days ago US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said that removing Assad from power was no longer Washington’s priority.)

Al-Qaeda – and probably several other rebel groups – have access to chemical weapons. The country was awash with them before the war, because the ability to make a mass chemical-weapons attack on Israel was Syria’s only deterrent against an Israeli nuclear attack.

Chemical weapons were stored in military facilities all over Syria, and at one point half the country was under rebel control. So of course the rebels have had some for years, and are known to have used them on occasion in their own internecine wars. Would al-Qaeda have hesitated to use them on innocent civilians order to trigger an Ameri-

can attack on the Syrian regime? Of course not.

The results have already been spectacular.

The developing Russian-American alliance in Syria is broken, the prospect of an imposed peace that sidelines the rebels – indeed, of any peace at all – has retreated below the horizon, and Rex Tillerson has just declared that “steps are underway” to form an international coalition to force Bashar al-Assad from power. Not a bad return on a small investment.

But we should also consider the possibility that Bashar al-Assad actually did order the attack. Why would it do that? For exactly the same reason: to trigger an American attack on the Syrian regime. From a policy perspective, that could make perfectly good sense.

The American attack didn’t really hurt much, after all, and it has already smashed a developing Russian-American relationship in Syria that could have ended up imposing unwelcome conditions on Assad. Indeed, Moscow and Washington might ultimately have decided that ejecting Assad (though not the entire regime) from power was an essential part of the peace settlement.

Assad doesn’t want foreigners deciding his fate, and he doesn’t want a “premature” peace settlement either. He wants the war to go on long enough for him to reconquer and reunite the whole country (with Russian help, of course). So use a little poison gas, and Donald Trump will obligingly over-react. That should end the threat of US-Russian collaboration in Syria.

Either of these possibilities – a false-flag attack by al-Qaeda or a deliberate provocation by the regime itself – is quite plausible.

What is not remotely believable is the notion that the stupid and evil Syrian regime just decided that a random poison gas attack on an unimportant town would be a bit of fun.

Villains in DC Comics do bad things simply because they are evil. The players in the Syrian civil war do bad things because they are part of serious (though often evil) strategies. Whoever committed the atrocity at Khan Sheikhoun wanted the United States to attack the Syrian regime, and Donald Trump fell for it.

But if Trump was taken in by the Syrians, he certainly exploited his attack to send a very serious message to China and North Korea. He is a player too, after all, and it can hardly be an accident that he timed the attack for the day of his meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping.

Wheels within wheels. It is going to be a wild ride.

Much to be proud of here in military history Editorial by Chris Malette As many watched on television and in smaller ceremonies right here at home, this past weekend, we remember a century-ago battle at Vimy Ridge, in France, that famously shaped our nation – at least in the eyes of the world.

But, we need only look to our own Hastings & Prince Edward Regiment – the battle-honoured Hasty Ps – for inspiration and a tangible, ourown-boys connection to the storied, infamous battles of the First and Second World Wars.

Truth told, there is no more storied regiment in the annals of Canadan army history.

In the words of its own members and historians, The Regiment, as it is simply and proudly known, is described as “a regiment that has fought in every major engagement Canada has been involved in even before Confederation. A regiment that has been awarded 42 Battle Honours and a regiment that won more Battle Honours than any other Canadian regiment in World War II.” Having drawn from towns, villages and farms from the area that encompasses The Regiment’s recruitment area – with headquarters in Belleville and additional companies in Peterborough and Cobourg – the ‘Plough Jockeys’ or Fighting Farmers as they were affectionately called, indeed fought battles in the area surrounding Vimy – the men of the Hasty Ps did indeed take part in the Battle of Arras at and around Vimy. The Regiment’s battle honours were hard won, too, at other vicious campaigns fought in the trenches of France and Belgium. Among them, in 1917 alone for the Hasty Ps were such infamous battlegrounds as the Third Battle of Ypres, known as the Battle of Passchendaele; the Battle of Arras (at Vimy) and The Battle of Hill 70.

By all accounts, it was at Hill 70 – which has been overshadowed by the monumental victory at Vimy, but as fiercely won and as important a victory, by most accounts as Vimy – that The Regiment and its fighting farmers brought as much glory to the estimation of the Canadian fighting soldier in the eyes of both the enemy and the British command as did the victories at Vimy.

In the 10-day assault on the promontory named simply for its elevation above sea level, but located at Lens, France, some of the most vile tactics of then modern warfare were employed.

From an account of the battle: “The Germans also began to use poison gas in earnest. From 15,000–20,000 of the new Yellow Cross shells containing the blistering agent sulfur mustard were fired in addition to an undetermined num-

ber of shells containing diphosgene, a type of chlorine gas that scorched the lungs of its victims… German troops employing flamethrowers managed to penetrate the Canadian line north of the quarry on the morning of 18 August before being driven out…”

As with Vimy and the other trench warfare battles of the time, it was indeed horrific for those involved and there are stories handed down in the Hastings, Peterborough and Northumberland counties from which the Hasty Ps drew recruits of young men who returned home from these conflicts deeply emotionally and mentally scarred, as well as bearing terrible physical effects.

Their names are etched on cenotaphs in so many towns, villages and hamlets and upon the walls of municipal offices and churches, always remembered for answering the call.

According to The Regiment’s archives, the battle honours won in in the Second World War cost The Regiment 342 members. They were killed in action or later died of wounds. They are remembered as having joined the “White Battalion… where all members of the Hastings & Prince Edward Regiment ‘transfer to’ when they move on from this earthly plane…”

There are ghosts of heroes among us in these parts and in the family histories of those left behind by those fighting farmers, those plucky Plough Jockeys who helped forge a world reputation for Canada as a country and home to a courageous brand of soldier, unyielding regardless of the size and barbarism of the fight that confronted them.

We have much to be proud of, here, and we would hope there are generous portions of local history lessons in schools hereabouts in teaching the rich military history of the accomplishments of the men of the Hasty Ps in the world wars.

For those who might wish to look further into that history, visit a local library and look for Farley Mowat’s acclaimed book ‘The Regiment’ (or his controversial follow-up book, disdained, by the way, by most members of The Regiment, ‘And No Birds Sang,’ a later-in-life, no-holdsbarred look at Mowat’s personal experiences in war with the Hasty Ps.) Also, there is ‘Duffy’s Regiment: A History of the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment’ by Kenneth B. Smith.

As the final incantation goes, “At the going down of the sun, we shall remember them.”

And remember them, here, we well should.

Live each day to the best, 102-year-old says

Leona Patterson of Norwood celebrated her one-hundred-and-second birthday.

Bill Freeman/Metroland

BY BILL FREEMAN

Norwood — Leona Patterson is a social media star at the age of 102.

The lifelong Norwood area resident holds something of an unofficial record for Facebook “likes” and "shares” at Mapleview Retirement Residence after celebrating her one-hundred-and-second birthday last week.

She was shown what Facebook was all about by Mapleview activity director Tiffany Martel, and was surprised and humbled by all the fuss.

“I’ve always had friends,” the one-time restaurant owner said during a chat on her birthday.

She and her husband Dick operated the White Rose service sta-

tion (where the former Ranchman Restaurant stands) in the 1960s and later moved to a location, now housing the popular Jack’s Family Restaurant. Leona ran it until it was sold in 1979, four years after her husband passed away.

The restaurant was a social hub and Leona a genial owner-host who gave many young people their first summer and after-school jobs.

“It was quite a time. Quite a life,” she said. “The farmers, the school bus drivers, the men especially would come in and gossip in the corner. It was a pleasant experience. I never dreamed I’d be with a restaurant. I had a good time.”

“I am grateful to have seen so much and to have those friends,” she adds.

Leona was born in the Elgin area between Norwood and Hastings, growing up on the Preston farm. She met Dick Patterson and married in 1935; they had two sons, Barry and Terry. She now has three grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

She’s proud of the fact that she was able to give so many local youth their first jobs and enjoyed their company, watching them grow up to become future leaders in the community.

She lived on her own on King Street before moving to Mapleview in 2015.

“She’s doing pretty well,” Barry says. “If it wasn’t for her mobility, she’d still be at home.”

All she wanted for her birthday, her son says, was to see her friends — no gifts.

“It was just like when she had the restaurant. People visited; they would sit and reminisce about the times. She always liked that. She always sees the best in people.”

Leona is well-travelled, having visited Europe, Hawaii, the Caribbean, the United States and parts of Canada. She was an active supporter of the Norwood Lions Club (her husband Dick was a charter member), sewed mittens for the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire, and was a member of the Norwood Seniors Club.

She fondly remembers the train trips from Havelock to the Orillia beach.

“It was an all-day outing. That was something.”

And she’s adapted well to the march of technology.

“Things have changed. I hope for the better.”

Stirling Festival of Sacred Praise returns for 67th year

BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling — The two-week Stirling Festival of Sacred Praise — which features singers, musicians and orators performing for audiences and professional adjudicators in more than 30 classes — is returning to Stirling between Tuesday, April 18 and Friday, May 5.

“Held under the auspices of the official board of St. Paul’s United Church and the Stirling Festival Committee, the annual festival continues to promote a love of sacred praise and encourage the continued participation of boys, girls, and young people — and the young at heart,” said Michael Faulkner, who is one of the organizers. “Vocal, instrumental and scripture classes are presented at both St. Paul’s (United Church) and the Stirling Festival

Theatre as part of the regional competition, with top finishers eligible to proceed to the provincial level.”

“The spirit of the event is as much about encouraging learning and personal growth in each of the individual participants as it is about providing opportunities for further competition,” added committee president and longtime festival supporter Donna Russett. “Professional adjudicators offer valuable feedback, as well as tips and ideas to improve presentations, so it’s not only the seasoned performers who benefit.”

She herself was a performer in the very first festival and has been a supporter ever since.

Faulkner said the festival regularly draws participants, not just from Stirling, but also from Peterborough, Belleville, Napanee and smaller communities in the immediate area.

“Over the years, committee members and organizers have seen thousands of singers and musicians perform, and remain impressed by the calibre of talent shown by the many groups and individuals over the decades,” he said.

Following the festival, the Stars of the Festival concert will be held on Friday, May 12 at 7 p.m. at St. Paul’s.

“The Stars concert is a regular feature of the festival, and like the various competition classes is also open to the public,” said Faulkner.

“Presented after the final adjudications, the celebratory concert offers a restaging of some of the top performances.”

Admission to the Stars concert is $3 for adults and 50 cents for children. Full details are available online at www.stirlingfestival.com and on Facebook under Stirling Festival of Sacred Praise.

Easter Bunny countdown begins for young at heart in Trent Hills and Central Hastings

BY SUE DICKENS

Trent Hills/Central Hastings — The Easter Bunny tracker countdown is underway as several area communities plan to celebrate with Easter egg hunts for the kids Perhaps the communities of Campbellford, Madoc, Marmora and Warkworth are being tracked because they have their Easter egg hunts all planned, and in some cases the Easter Bunny will appear.

Take Madoc, for example.

This will be their 15th annual Easter egg hunt extravaganza.

Promoting their event, the Madoc and District Chamber of Commerce has a flyer with all the details which includes visits by Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Olaf, and the Easter Bunny.

It will take place Saturday, April 15 at the Madoc Kiwanis Centre.

“We have games and a ton of fun with great prizes,” said organizer Corrinna Vesterfelt.

There is also going to be a barbecue, raffle table, games (up to age 12), crafts, bake table

and of course “the big Easter egg hunt.”

All proceeds from the 2017 Easter egg hunt will be donated to the Madoc food bank and the Madoc Library based programs.

Doors open at 10 a.m. and the fun continues until 3 p.m.

Admission is a $2 ticket which gives the ticket holder a chance to win a bike. “And please bring your own baskets.”

In Marmora, the Easter egg hunt which is posted on the municipality’s website will be held Saturday April 15, in the downtown area, starting at the Historical Foundation building at 32 Forsyth St. from 10 a.m. to noon. Marmora and Lake Councillor Elaine Jones said the event is geared to children ages 10 years and younger. “Bring a basket and go on a hunt to local businesses for Easter treats and goodies.”

In the village of Warkworth, the Easter egg hunt is being hosted by owner of the Village Pantry, Raquilda van Zoeren, where it will be held.

“I’m hosting a small Easter

egg hunt for the kids in our little town of Warkworth, and the Easter Bunny will be here for the day so people can take photos of their children,” she commented.

The hunt will take place Saturday, April 15 as well and will begin at 11 a.m.

The Campbellford Youth Advisory Council is hosting a fun Easter egg hunt on Saturday, April 15 at Kennedy Park.

Pre-registration was required at a cost of $5 per child and as of the day of the writing of this article, registration has been closed.

The Easter egg hunt will include a hula hoop contest, photographs with the Easter Bunny, egg decorating and more. All proceeds will go to the Flourish campaign.

The Easter bunny is ready and waiting in front of The Village Pantry, Warkworth, just one of the many places in area communities where the annual Easter egg hunts will be held on Sat. April 15.

I didn’t expect it to feel like home.

Seniors warned about financial abuse by those they trust

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford – Financial abuse of the elderly “is a growing concern in Canada, and North America in general,” Northumberland OPP media relations officer Const. Steve Bates said in a presentation to seniors at Island Park Retirement Residence.

“It is the No. 1 call that we get from older adults,” and from family members and agencies who suspect they're being exploited, added Raeann Rideout, a consultant with Elder Abuse Ontario based in Peterborough.

It was the first of three presentations Bates and Rideout will deliver at Island Park to help residents protect themselves against different kinds of abuse, including psychological and emotional abuse, and fraud.

Abuse of power of attorney by someone entrusted with that responsibility but "is not acting in your best interest” is a key concern, Rideout said.

“Unfortunately, the cases that we hear most often about (involve) family – kids, grandkids, nephews, nieces – (or) a caregiver, a next-door neighbour, someone who has befriended you over time, (and) takes advantage of that trusting relationship.”

They “start making you feel like you're less in control of your own welfare, your own finances and your decision-making,” she continued.

“They start pushing themselves further and further into your lives.”

Rideout said other family members, neighbours and friends can play a part in protecting those who are vulnerable by watching out for signs that an older person is being exploited, and then taking action.

Start by speaking directly to someone who might be a victim to determine if your fears are warranted.

“We have to look out for each other,” she said.

“We're all at risk.”

People think that it will never happen to them but often it does, so know the risks, “because knowledge is power, to prevent anything from happening in the future,” Rideout said.

Bates spoke of one case investigated by police last year involving four young people living off

an elderly farmer in the early stages of dementia.

The four were passing themselves off as live-in farmhands. The situation came to light because of concerns raised by the man's sister, he said.

“We're not saying be afraid of everybody and family,” Rideout told the residents, “but when you get that little red flag that things may not be right, don't be afraid to ask questions.”

There are numerous services that provide different kinds of help, including the Advocacy Centre for the Elderly (1-855-598-2656), the Northumberland Community Legal Centre (1800-850-7882), and the Seniors Safety Line (1866-299-1011).

Madoc’s chamber of commerce working for its members

Board report calls for K-12 at CHSS, closure of Township school

BY LYNN MARRIOTT

The Madoc and District Chamber of Commerce Coordinator Leigh Anne Lavender has been working for the chamber for four-and-a-half years.

Sue Dickens/Metroland

BY SUE DICKENS

Madoc — “Promoting our merchants is our biggest goal,” said Charles Smith, president of the Madoc and District Chamber of Commerce, which recently held their annual general meeting.

This will be Smith’s third year with the chamber. He was a director for one year and vice-chair for two.

Smith is a very hands-on president.

Working at the Madoc Home Hardware store for the past 14 years, he became manager there 11 years ago and is the one who drives the Home Hardware float in the annual Santa Claus parade.

“Madoc is a growing community and offers a lot of good things. Our skate park is one of the best in the area,” he said, with obvious pride in his town. Originally from Marmora, Smith went to high school in Madoc. He worked at Quinte Broadcasting for a while and at Canadian Tire in Campbellford before settling down in Madoc.

He had high praise for chamber co-ordinator Leigh Anne Lavender.

“She handles a lot of stuff and does a very good job,” he commented.

Lavender’s office is located in the

lower level of the Madoc Public Library, where she also works for the Community Futures Development Corporation, wearing two hats that make it possible for her to do even more for businesses in town. “I am able to help people with their business plan and discuss their startup,” said Lavender.

The chamber also participates in the community improvement plans.

Her responsibilities are many and include attending the Hastings County Economic and Tourism Development and the Bay of Quinte Tourism meetings. “We can keep our community and members up-todate with what’s happening in and around the area ... and vice versa,” she said.

“We are continuing to raise the awareness of the chamber, and the benefits and programs that we can offer to our members,” she added.

The chamber meets monthly on the third Tuesday at 7 p.m. at their offices.

“Everyone is always encouraged and welcomed to attend, Lavender concluded.

The chamber is on Facebook and Twitter.

Belleville – The Hastings Prince Edward School Board school trustees tabled a report to close Madoc Township Public School and in a twist, said all students could study at Centre Hastings Secondary School (CHSS) in a K-12 model.

The report, prepared

by HPEDSB senior staff, was presented on Apr. 10, at the board office in Belleville and did not reflect the Madoc Accommodation Recommendation Committee’s (ARC) key concern for residents and parents in the Madoc and Madoc Township area – do not close MTPS. “Well, if you want to know my opinion - senior administration did not listen to the public,” said parent Amy Beaton, who attended the board meeting. “What was the purpose of the ARC, if they felt free to ignore all its recommendations?” wrote Cathy Speedy.

The Madoc ARC recommended that MTPS remain open for several reasons, including the quality of education, the abundance of green space and less travel for those

Volunteers needed for Meals on Wheels program in Warkworth

Brian and Ann Sterling have been delivering meals to Millcreek Manor resident Joyce Glover and others since last fall. “We really enjoy it,” Brian Sterling said. “The clients are ... so appreciative.”

John Campbell/Metroland

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Warkworth — Local response to the return of the Meals on Wheels program to Warkworth after a 10-year absence has been so strong that Community Care Northumberland is looking for volunteers to expand the service. Currently, up to 18 meals are delivered every Wednesday to residents at Millcreek Manor and those living at home within a five-kilometre radius of the village, but program assistant Linda Ryan said the number could grow with more drivers.

“It has been a big success, people in Warkworth are happy to get it,” she said, but “if we

had more volunteers, we could deliver further. We do have people living outside that area that would like the meals.”

Jeannine's Back Talk Cafe prepares the meals — two menu choices are provided each week — but the Bakery has said it would be willing to do the same on Mondays, Ryan said. The meals, which include a salad or soup, plus a dessert, cost $6. Regional community relations co-ordinator Alicia Vandine said 5,899 hot and frozen meals were delivered in Warkworth between April 1, 2015 and March 31, 2016, 771 in the Warkworth area.

“The numbers are growing, which is excellent,” Vandine said. “If we could get some more volunteers, we'd be able to expand the service because the demand is there. That's really our number 1 priority.”

She said the program not only provides meals, but “it's also a security check so family members know that there's somebody coming to their door to check on their loved one every day the service is available.”

Meals on Wheels, which is being celebrated by agencies across North America this month, serves seniors living alone and adults with disabilities who are unable to shop or cook for themselves. People recuperating from an illness or surgery also make use of Meals on Wheels for the short term, Vandine said. For more information about the program, call 705-875-7654 or drop in at the Community Care office on Wednesdays at St. Paul's United Church, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

How Our Balance System Works Balance and equilibrium help us stay upright when standing and knowing where we are in relation to gravity. Our balance system also helps us walk, run, and move without falling. Balance is controlled through signals to the brain from your eyes, the inner ear, and the sensory systems of the body (such as the skin, muscles, and joints). This balance system is also known as the vestibular system.

Remembering Mitch in Havelock

A guitar and guitar stand made by Mitch Walker will be displayed at the Havelock Town Hall in his memory. The guitar and stand have been autographed.

Bill Freeman/Metroland

BY BILL FREEMAN

Havelock — It was fitting that music filled the Havelock Seniors building on April 8 during a standing room only celebration of the life of Mitch Walker. A founding member of Havelock’s remarkable Mid Weak Jammers, Walker died last December at the age of 83 but left a legacy, family and community, that will live on forever with a musical thread running through all of those

memories.

The dynamic Jammers have grown from a fledgling group of about 12 local strummers back in 2003 to at least 30 who bring their guitars and fiddles to the 116-year-old Havelock Town Hall every Wednesday jamming for themselves and the surprisingly large audiences that come to listen.

And they certainly travel, driving to Havelock from places like Omemee, Roseneath, Flin-

ton, Cobourg, Peterborough and Belleville to revel in oldtime country music. Mitch was one of their strongest heartbeats and led a number of renovation projects at the historic hall over the years funded by money raised by the Jammers.

Those upgrades included new railings on stairs, coat racks, a new fridge, interior paint, window blinds and their latest, new plank board flooring at a cost of $8,815. All told, the Jammers have raised over $20,000 for a variety of upgrades. The group has been honoured by Peterborough County for its community work.

“Mitch wanted nothing more than to make a difference and give back to his community,’’ Shirley Patterson said.

He was not a man out to collect “glory or accolades,” Patterson stressed. Walker loved to make guitars and one that he made from cedar harvested from a tree on his village property will be displayed at the town hall. The guitar and its stand have been autographed.

“It’s a big hole to fill,” Jammer Rick Foster admitted.

Walker’s son Ron presided over the celebration of an unselfish life well lived.

STIRLING DENTAL CENTRE “Caring for your family’s dental health”

In the inner ear, the balance system consists of three semicircular canals that contain fluid and “sensors” that detect rotational movement of the head. The semicircular canals deal with different movement: up-and-down, side-to-side, and tilting from one side to the other. As the head moves, hair cells in the semicircular canals send nerve impulses to the brain by way of the acoustic nerve. The nerve impulses are processed in the brain to help us know where we are in space or if we are moving.

It is important to see your doctor if you have unexplained dizziness or balance issues. If you have additional symptoms such as chest pains, numbness or tingling, falling or problems walking, weakness in the legs or arms, blurred vision, slurred speech, sudden hearing loss, severe neck stiffness, head trauma or injury, or high fever, go to your local emergency department immediately.

Centre at the corner of West Front Street and Frankford Road in Stirling.

“Kevin Goodkey has made available his large corner lot each and every year and for that we are most grateful,” said Rotarian Terry Vollum. “We’re hoping to get the word out now in order to give people time to decide what items they might consider donating to our sale.”

Rotarians will be at the Stirling railway station Friday, May 5, at 5 p.m. to accept donated items. People also can drop stuff off at the Goodkey Service Centre the morning of the sale.

You can also get rid of donations sooner.

“A Stirling Rotarian will be pleased to come to your home to pick up any and all donated items,” Vollum said. “To arrange for a pickup, simply call 613-403-5636.”

However, items that otherwise would go to in the trash are not needed.

“We appreciate the generosity of all those who donate, but we have no use for stuff earmarked for the dump,” Vollum said. “So please, no old mattresses, television sets, sofas, or upholstered chairs.

We’re hoping for items that people have no further use for but might fetch a dollar or two at the sale.”

He said all proceeds from the Giant Yard Sale will be used to fund local Rotary Club projects.

Stirling — The beautiful photographs of Trenton artist Penny Olorenshaw are bringing scenes of spring and summer into the Stirling Art Gallery during April and May. Featuring birds, blooms and even a few bugs, the photos bring bright patches of colour to the gallery walls.

Her photos are all printed on canvas instead of on paper, and covered in a protective glaze.

“I chose the canvas because it allowed me to print larger without worrying about frames, and I like the way they look,” Olorenshaw said.

Originally from Alberta, she studied dance for many years and had a long career as a stage manager for national and international dance companies and schools. This gave her the chance to travel and to photograph many subjects in different parts of the world.

She said she began her photography in the late 1970s but only got really serious about it around 2000, and soon was taking courses at George Brown College.

“In 2005, I got my first digital camera,” she said.

After moving to a farm in Quinte West, Olorenshaw started to concentrate on nature photography and local scenes in the Quinte area. A photo taken at Presqu'ile placed first in the 2006 Ontario Parks Photo Contest and was published in Harrowsmith magazine.

“I was just so drawn to what was going on

Nature photography by Trenton artist Penny Olorenshaw is on display at the Stirling Art Gallery during April and May, and the artist will be at the gallery for a reception on Saturday, April 8.

in the garden” she said. “I'm very drawn to colour.”

The current show, her first in a couple of years, includes pieces covering a 10-year period.

People can come and meet Olorenshaw during an opening reception on Saturday, April 8, between noon and 2 p.m. at the gallery, which is located in the Stirling Public Library.

Marmora council approves final 2017 budget: 3.8 per cent tax rate increase

BY SUE DICKENS

Marmora — Council of the Municipality of Marmora and Lake has given its final approval of their 2017 municipal budget which provides for a 3.5 per cent increase in the tax levy as they had stated in their draft budget which was put forward in March and this means a tax rate increase of 3.8 per cent.

The expenditures total $10,004,619 which includes $6,383,105 for the operating budget and $3,621,514 for the capital budget.

At the time the draft budget was released neither the Central Hastings County tax rate nor the province’s education tax rate for 2017, had been announced.

Now with the final figures in for a home with an assessed value of $200,000, the tax will amount to an additional $3.46 per month or $41.52 more annually. That means the 2017 tax

per $100,000 of assessed value amounts to $566.97 compared to $546.17 in 2016.

So taking the numbers one step further for the homeowner of a house assessed between $150,000 and $154,000 the increase is $31 annually or $2.58 monthly. The 2017 tax on that home will amount to $850 annually, compared to $819 in 2016.

A house with an assessment between $225,000 and $231,000 will pay $47 more annually or $3.90 monthly. The 2017 tax on that home will amount to $1276 annually compared to $1229 in 2016.

Mayor Terry Clemens noted that water and sewer rates are going up. “Fees will be affected as of May 1 with a three per cent increase over 2016.”

That means the rate for a residential customer is $24.44 plus

$1.69 per m3 of water consumed and the charge for sewer services remains 94 per cent of the total water bill in 2017.

The mayor also talked about the need to focus on the capital expenses.

For example the municipality is pushing forward with its plans to keep the town hall in good shape and the project cost is pegged at about $300,000.

A meeting open to the public for comments was held April 4 before the final budget was approved.

“The 2017 budget is a responsible budget that ensures ratepayers will continue to receive quality municipal services at a reasonable tax rate,” stated Mayor Clemens.

Warkworth Ballet begins spring session

Steve and Laraine Holt launched Warkworth Ballet last year and the classes have proved popular with young and old alike.

John Campbell/Metroland

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Warkworth — “It was a dream of mine for quite a long time that I would teach ballet to young girls.”

But it wasn't until Laraine Holt moved from Toronto to here two years ago that she finally was able to realize her dream, in a community that neither she nor her husband Steve, an accomplished jazz pianist, knew existed until they bought land in the area.

“We had no idea it was such a cool (place) ... with lots of artists and musicians,” Steve said.

What they saw was enough to make them think ballet classes could attract enough interest to make the attempt worth it — and they were right.

“The response was quite enthusiastic,” Laraine said, so much so that this week Warkworth Ballet began its third session at the Warkworth Town Hall Centre for the Arts, offering classes

for children four years old and up, as well as beginner classes for adults.

Laraine, whose resume includes performing with the National Ballet of Canada and the Canadian Opera Company, said a few of the young girls “show quite a bit of promise. I've spoken with them about pursuing a career a little bit more seriously.”

Most of the students “just enjoy doing it,” Steve said, and “they certainly seem to have a lot of fun” learning what they're taught.

Which is “the full ballet curriculum” at the “age-appropriate” level, Laraine said.

They learn how to position their feet and do exercises “geared to promote balance and coordination.”

They also learn discipline, hard work, and tenacity, Laraine added. “My goal as a ballet teacher is to instil in them self-confidence, high self-esteem (and) self-reliance,” so they can go forward in life and become whatever they want, whether it's a doctor or a dancer. With six CD albums and three singles to his credit, Steve plays mostly classical music and jazz for the ballet classes, with “a little bit of pop” thrown in.

“It's really geared to what they're doing in the moment,” he said, whether it's “a slower piece” or “something perky.”

Laraine said her “regular group of adults” range in age from 35 to 63.

Some are ranked beginners, while others have been dancers and “already know all the moves.”

“It's really exercise for them,” she said of her older students, “because it targets muscular strength, flexibility and cardio. You always leave a class feeling fantastic.”

The classes began April 12 and will continue for another 11 weeks.

It's still possible to sign up. Visit www.facebook.com/WarkworthBallet for more details.

Havelock's town clock will be replaced.

Bill Freeman/Metroland

BY BILL FREEMAN

Havelock — Havelock’s historic town clock will be replaced.

The clock stands on top of the township’s municipal building at the corner of Ottawa and Oak streets. The municipal office once served as the village’s post office and features the distinctive clock, which has been out of commission for some time.

“It’s been there a long time. It probably should be done; it’s part of our history,” said Deputy Mayor Jim Martin.

Municipal staff explored the possibility of having the clock repaired, but discovered there wasn’t anyone

clock will look exactly the same as the one that sits there now.

“It’s part of our heritage (and) it’s been broken a long time,” said Coun. David Gerow.

Gerow conceded that it was a “terrible amount of money,” but added that quite recently two people, one from Oshawa and another from Whitby, asked him about it.

“Quite frankly, I am so used to it not working that I don’t think about it. Perhaps we should,” he said.

“It is part of the heritage of this building and our village,” Mayor Ron Gerow agreed.

Mayor Gerow also agreed that it was “a lot of money.”

With all the “advances in technology,” the clock should last longer, he added.

Funding for the project will come from the administrative building reserve.

who could repair the fixture.

They received a replacement estimate from specialist company Elderhorst Bells Canada of $6,373 (including HST), said facilities manager Jamie Scriver.

It is impossible to get replacement parts for the original clock, Scriver explained.

Campbellford’s senior jazz ensemble heading to Musicfest’s nationals Fiona McCrow, a Grade 11 band member, told the Trent Hills News: “We have some challenging tunes including Thing of Gold which is a completely different genre.”

Patrick Muldoon, a Grade 9 band member who plays keyboard, is excited. “I’ve never been to any of this before, last Friday’s regionals or the nationals. I’m kind of nervous but it’s a great experience,” he said with enthusiasm. He plays keyboard and trumpet in this band and also plays in the Junior Band. Patrick won a musicianship/leadership award for the Junior Jazz Ensemble.

The Ensemble will play the same three tunes at the nationals that they played at the regionals.

“It’s never a guarantee at Musicfest. It’s always a challenge. They really have to prove themselves,” noted Noble.

“The students are big fans of the Grammy award-winning instrumental jazz group Snarky Puppy and I thought it would be fun and interesting to perform an arrangement of one of their tunes.”

This year, the Nationals are in Niagara Falls, May 14-19.

These students are members of the Senior Jazz Ensemble at Campbellford District A “generous” sponsor of the music program at High School which will be competing at Musicfest’s nationals in May: from left, Winni CDHS is Scott Drummond GM.

Warkworth actor brings 'The Importance of Being Oscar' to live stage

BY SUE DICKENS

Adapted by Rapsey, he describes the play which was written in the 1950s: “It intersperses excerpts from Wilde's writings with biographical highlights of his magnificent but tragic life. In a sense it is a dramatic lecture ... the sort that Wilde himself may have delivered.”

The performance includes two acts, a prologue and an epilogue, “which makes for a full afternoon for people.”

For Rapsey his passion for acting is a craft he embraces.

“I practice each character and read all about those historic characters ... I study about them and try to as much as I can glean from the writing about them, determine their character and then work on it.”

Rapsey said he just “loves live theatre,” and living in Warkworth for the past 23 years, where he has made it his home. “I love this community, they are very open and welcoming and support theatre here.”

He added, “This monologue may be something the audience here is not used to.”

The Importance of Being Oscar, will be performed in the Warkworth Town Hall Centre for the Arts on Saturday, April 15.

Doors open at 2 p.m. Show starts at 2:30. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at Metaphorhome, We Sell Gas Refrigerators Main Street, Warkworth.

Proceeds support the Arts and Heritage Centre Warkworth.

"Life is much too important a thing ever to talk seriously about it."

— Lady Windermere's Fan, 1892, Act I Warkworth — When local actor Paul Rapsey steps onto the stage the audience knows it is in for an unusual performance crafted in a very eclectic style of acting. The last time he was on stage in Warkworth he was Susan, a disaffected Vicar’s wife in the north of England who faced life with passive aggression in the five-act story Bed Among the Lentils.

This time he is bringing to life the Irish playwright, novelist, essayist and poet Oscar Wilde, whose writings made him one of London’s most popular playwrights in the early 1890s.

The story Rapsey will be performing is a called The Importance of Being Oscar, a monologue in two acts by Micheal MacLiammoir.

Campellford — The Senior Jazz Ensemble at Campbellford District High School (CDHS) are hitting all the right notes as new students hope to continue what has been a fairly consistent tradition of bringing home the gold.

The Ensemble are heading to the Musicfest Canada Nationals in May having just returned after winning gold at the Southern Ontario Regionals in Oshawa.

The ensemble were complimented after their performance by adjudicator Neil Yorke-Slader, the head of Musicfest Canada’s instrumental jazz division, for being “exciting and willing to take risks”.

This year, the group premièred an arrangement by the band’s director and music teacher Dave Noble called Thing of Gold, which had elements of world music, jazz, and rock. The CDHS group performed an Ellington-era swing tune (Blues for Bubber) and a 1970s-era funk piece called Old School.

Saxophonist Rahul Patel also won an award for musicianship and leadership.

‘I think we’re prepared and we’re still rehearsing,” said band member Winni Li, who is in Grade 11 and plays the guitar.

Rug hooking as an art form on display at Campbellford library

Canada Reads Author Saleema Nawaz coming to Tweed Tweed - Saleema Nawaz, author of the celebrated novel Bone and Bread, will appear at the Tweed Library on Thursday, April 20. Bone and Bread, published by House of Anansi, was shortlisted in 2016 on CBC’s Canada Reads and won the QWF Paragraphe Hugh MacLennan Prize for Fiction in 2013.

While not autobiographical, the novel comes alive in part because Nawaz “lived” its broad setting. Born in Ottawa and now living in Montreal, she sets the story of two sisters in those cities. The author, like her characters, was of a mixed-race couple and brought up by a single mother.

“Writing seems to come with this paradoxical responsibility,” she told Montreal critic Ian McGillis in 2013. “You have to make everything up but everything has to be true. I felt like I know this family and these characters really well…”

Nawaz received a B.A. in Humanities at Carleton University and a Masters at the University of Manitoba, where she won the Robert Kroetsch Award in 2006 for Best Creative Thesis for her novella The White Dress.

In 2008, Nawaz won the distinguished McClelland & Stewart Journey Prize for her short story My Three Girls. That same year, Freehand Books published her short story collection, Mother Superior, which was praised across the country and nominated for the QWF McAuslan First Book Prize. The short story Bloodlines from that collection was an early narrative of the two sisters in Bone and Bread.

The Toronto Star review called the novel “a poignant read…(which) captivates because it brims with humanity. Nawaz hustles the reader along with vivid writing, scintillating characters, and the alluring element of mystery.”

The Friends of the Tweed Library are hosting the event with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts. The event begins at 7 p.m. Autographed books will be available and refreshments will be served. The library is located at 230 Metcalf St. in Tweed.

The Friends is a group of community volunteers who sponsor and support the library through fundraising and special events.

Marilyn Pollock, who has been president of the Campbellford-Seymour Rug Hookers since 2006, says members meet each Monday for the fellowship as much as to work on their craft.

Campbellford — Rug hooking exhibits are popping up all over Northumberland County, in celebration of a heritage craft during Canada's 150th anniversary.

Norwood Hornets take Halifax pee wee title; edge Shediac/Cap-Pele in final

BY BILL FREEMAN

Norwood — The Norwood Archer Trucking-J. J. Stewart Motors Pee Wee Hornets have won a championship at one of the largest hockey tournaments in Canada.

The Hornets took the Pee Wee Odyssey “B” championship at the 40th annual SEDMHA (Shearwater East Dartmouth Minor Hockey Association) tournament edging out the Shediac/ Cap-Pele Predators in a thrilling 4-3 final on a late-game goal by Marshall Flynn.

It was a spectacular end to a strong season for the Hornets and gave them a chance to skate on Sidney Crosby’s home ice in Cole Harbour.

“It was some of our best hockey of the year,” said head coach Greg Hartwick. “It was just a great effort from the players.”

The team was supported by a vocal 32-strong Hornets fan contingent which included friends who live in Halifax.

The 2017 SEDMHA tourney drew 279 teams from novice to midget and played out over 20 rinks in Dartmouth, Halifax, Cole Harbour, Bedford, Sackville, Tantallon and East Hants.

The Norwood Archer Trucking-J.J. Stewart Motors Hornets won the SEDMHA Pee Wee Norwood led the final 2-1 after the first period B Odyssey championship in Halifax. Photo/submitted on goals by Marshall Flynn and Brody Thomp-

son with assists to Riley Thompson, Colby Hanbidge and Henry Walsh. They went up 3-1 early in the second but the Preds roared back in the third to tie the game before Flynn’s winner from Devin Creasy and Hanbidge.

“This was a wild one up against a smaller but very quick team,” said Hartwick.

The Predators had three straight power-plays during the final minutes of the game, with the Hornets playing their best defence to ice the win.

Hartwick said Daniel Begg, Henry Walsh, Mitchell Crowley, Thompson and Brody Graham were “superb in killing it off and letting us avoid overtime.”

The players received medals, championship hoodies and a banner.

Norwood reached the final with a 5-2 win over the Halifax Red with goals by Hanbidge, Flynn, Thompson, Crowley and Graham. The game matched the two top teams with the winner earning a bye to the final.

The Hornets opened the tourney with three straight Devin Creasy shutouts, 6-0 over the Dartmouth Whalers, 8-0 over the Memramcook Aigles and 9-0 over the Northside Vikings, and a 3-2 overtime win over Riverview with Flynn scoring short-handed in OT.

Norwood Minor Sports dishes out awards

BY BILL FREEMAN

Norwood – It was awards time for Norwood District Minor Sports (NDMS) and its Hornets hockey teams. The organization held its annual awards event April 9 at the AsphodelNorwood Community Centre.

From its youngest Mite and Initiation Program (IP) players to juveniles finishing out their minor hockey careers, it was a time to recognize hard work, improvement, dedication and sportsmanship and all the lasting values that come with positive team experiences.

“It’s pretty safe to say we saw a lot of improvement,” NDMS president Jim McMillan said.

As much as trophies and medals are nice things to have, McMillan said the core principle of minor sports is to help young people

become better people.

Tweed figure skaters celebrate 150 years of Canada

BY LYNN MARRIOTT

Tweed – The Tweed and District Figure Skating Club presented its 2017 gala, in Celebration of Canada at 150 years old.

On April 2, approximately 150 residents were entertained at the Tweed arena. Young skaters presented 20 performances.

For the finale, all the performers, most from the municipality of Tweed, skated to Wavin’ Flag

by K’naan.

The club offers four levels of skating instruction. Pre-CANskate is for children aged three to five, and is a learn to skate program.

CANskate is for those five years and older who have skating experience. Advanced CANskaters are at a higher level of skating but are not quite a star skater yet. The STARskate program offers two nights a week and skaters are ready to try skate Canada tests, explained Club executive Cheri Jo Gordon.

The skating Club executive gives a heartfelt thanks to their coach, Niki Finch, for her time and dedication to these young people.

Metroland asks readers to ‘spot the green dot’ at super mail box sites

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Metroland Media is asking readers from its communities to “spot the dot” and contribute to a cleaner environment.

Special blue recycling boxes, with “green dot” stickers affixed to them, have recently been placed in 18 different neighbourhoods throughout this newspaper’s readership area.

The “green dot” blue boxes have strategically been placed at Canada Post super mail box sites, where loose papers tend to tossed by some who discard it when going through their mail at the boxes.

Metroland Media partnered with Quinte Waste Solutions and 2xtreme Signs and Graphics on this project, with the hope that it will encourage people to instead place loose papers or unwanted flyer mail in the recycling box to keep their neighbourhoods clean and green.

Lorie Douglas, Metroland’s real estate sales executive, first thought of the idea when she noticed debris was consistently piling up around the mailbox area of her neighbourhood, at Massassauga Road and Peats Point, in Prince Edward County, just south of Belleville.

The area has a Belleville News box and Douglas, as an employee of a company that distributes flyers, was concerned of the perception that the newspaper group could be seen as contributing to

Metroland’s Lorie Douglas holds the special “spot the dot” recycling box that readers might find at a Canada Post super mail box site near them. With her (to the left) is colleague Norah Nelson, and Shannon Hannah of 2xtreme Graphics and (to the right) Jeff Howard and Dan Orr of Quinte Waste Solutions.

the problem. Instead of being seen as part of the problem, she proposed a solution. With the approval of Metroland Seaway

Region general manager Gavin Beer, she worked with Quinte Waste Solutions on a plan to get the recycling boxes out in several

neighbourhoods where debris is a concern. Quinte Waste Solutions provided the blue boxes and is also assuming the responsibility

of removing the material on normal blue box collection days.

“We ask neighbourhoods to participate in the campaign with someone putting the box out on the designated day of pickup and someone to return it to the super mail box after collection,” said Douglas, who hopes a neighbourhood volunteer would find the smallish chore of transferring the box for collection is preferable to a litter-strewn neighbourhood.

Douglas designed the logo for the project and Shannon Hannah, owner of 2xtreme Graphics, contributed to the project by printing the stickers for the boxes at no charge.

The boxes were placed in the 18 trial locations last week and those working on the project say that so far it has been a success as it is already leading to cleaner environments. QWS staff say they’ve already received comments from callers who like the program.

Metroland hopes to expand the “spot the dot” project into more neighbourhoods, at the request of readers.

“We have started with 18 boxes in hopes that other neighbourhoods will contact us for to provide a box at their locations,” said Douglas.

People interested in obtaining a recycling box for their neighbourhood can call Quinte Waste Solutions at 613-394-6266.

Savic again a multiple winner at Rotary Music Festival

BY JACK EVANS

Belleville - For the second year in a row, Tabitha Savic, of Belleville, took several major awards at the closing “silver” competitions for the Quinte Rotary Music Festival.

Competing in vocal solo, piano and strings (harp) the talented teenager won the silver tray for piano, the silver strings tray for harp and the Joe Demeza Trophy for best overall performance of the evening from a field of 10 competitors, including her own brother, David, who showed strongly in both piano and vocal categories.

Asked about the sibling rivalry in such competitions, David commented: “We just don’t worry about that. We wish each other good luck and that’s the end of it.”

Savic, a player with the Quinte Symphony, also competed in the string category with another young symphony player, Jeanette Huang, who gave a strong performance on the violin.

Winner of the silver rose bowl for vocal solo this year went to Una Lajic, a close friend of Tabi Savic. The silver pitcher

for brass and woodwind competitors went to the lone entry, Tina Li of Belleville.

Each of the top awards brings a $500 prize. The Joe Demeza award is worth $150.

A modest crowd, mostly family and friends and Rotary officials, attended the evening which made an enjoyable concert for all as they witnessed professional musicians of the future at work.

The vocal contest also saw a lone treble (boy soprano) entrant in the form of a talented

Andrew Powell, whose rendition of “Danny Boy” was popular with the audience.

John Chisholm, chair of the festival on behalf of the three sponsoring clubs – Belleville, Quinte West and Quinte Sunrise, noted this was the 49th year of the festival.

The festival still has one more major event to conclude it – the Concert of the Stars on Wednesday, April 19 at 7 p.m. in Albert College hall, when awards and prizes will be presented.

RCAF unveils the 2017 ‘Canada 150’ CF-18 demonstration Hornet

BY ROSS LEES

The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) has unveiled the 2017 CF-18 Demonstration Jet celebrating Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation.

The April 4 unveiling ceremony took place at 4 Wing Cold Lake, Alberta, where the jet has been hosted for the past few weeks. The 2017 Demonstration Pilot, Captain Matthew Kutryk, and the technicians and support staff of the 2017 Demonstration Team, attended the ceremony, as did local dignitaries and military members.

“Seeing this incredible jet in person has made me even more motivated to share it with Canadians,” Capt. Kutryk said. “There will be no doubt during any of our stops this air show season that this jet represents Canada and the amazing year we are celebrating. I hope that this jet will inspire all Canadians to chase their dreams as I did because that is what Canada is all about.”

The unveiling gave everyone in attendance a chance to see, for the first time, the 2017 paint scheme, which has the aircraft fully painted with a red and white design incorporating the Canada 150 logo.

Painting the 2017 demonstration jet has been a team effort between 3 Wing Bagotville, Québec, which provided the jet and technicians to bring the design concept to life, and 4 Wing, which provided hangar space and support during the painting.

“3 Wing is honoured to pro-

vide our aircraft as the 2017 Canada 150 Demonstration Jet,” said 3 Wing commander Colonel Darcy Molstad. “Our talented technicians have outdone themselves, taking what was once a graphic concept on paper and transforming it into an incredible final paint scheme for the CF-18.

The teamwork required to get this jet painted is just one example of how Canadians can come together to produce a spectacular product. We cannot thank 4 Wing enough for their support during this process.”

Throughout the year, DND and the CAF will support the Government of Canada’s celebration of Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation, participating in many events throughout the nation. The upcoming air show season is a special opportunity for the RCAF and the Dem-

onstration Team to join Canadians in celebrating shared values, achievements and Canada’s place in the world.

“This incredible Canada 150 CF-18 Hornet is a shining example of the teamwork and professionalism that is embodied by the men and women of the RCAF,” said Major-General Christian Drouin, Commander, 1 Canadian Air Division/Canadian NORAD Region, “and is just one of the many ways that the men and women of the RCAF are working to honour their rich heritage, and commemorating the 150th Anniversary of the Confederation of Canada.”

Quick Facts •This year, the Royal Canadian Air Force is joining the Government of Canada in commemorating the 150th

anniversary of the Confederation of Canada. Specifically, the RCAF will honour the history of the Canadian Armed Forces, including the RCAF, as a part of Canada’s proud history.

•The specially-painted CF-18 Hornet features the official logo for “Canada 150” placed throughout the design. The logo is composed of a series of diamonds, or “celebratory gems”, arranged in the shape of the iconic maple leaf. The four diamonds at the base represent the four original provinces that formed Confederation in 1867: Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

Additional diamonds extend out from the base to create nine more points. Together, they symbolize Canada’s 13 provinces and territories. On the left wing, the timespan of Confederation is shown with the year of Confederation, 1867, and the 150th anniversary year – 2017. The right wing bears the official name of the celebration – “Canada 150”. All aspects of the design come together to create a truly unique and fitting tribute to this important year in Canada’s history.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

No apology needed, Todd Dear Editor, Re: Editorial March 30 “No problem with zeal, but Smith ought to apologize” Apology required all right, from Kathleen Wynne, not from MPP Todd Smith.

My thanks to Todd Smith for calling out the Liberal government on

its continuing self-interest and incompetence with regard to the mess at Ontario Hydro. If we had more elected representatives with the integrity and backbone to speak up, perhaps this province wouldn’t be in such financial disorder.

8 Wing Leadership Forum helps military to recognize positive influences

BY ROSS LEES

CFB Trenton - Two military veterans who went on to lengthy careers in civilian life after distinguished careers in the military were the guest speakers at the 8 Wing Leadership Forum last week.

Ninety-seven-year-old Russell Bannock, who retired from DeHavilland as President and Chief Executive Officer, served three years at Canadian Forces Station (CFS) Trenton at the beginning of his military career.

Pat Daily, now the President of Convergence Performance, a company he started in the United States, spent 12 years of active duty service and 18 years as a reserve officer in the United States Air Force (USAF), where he flew as an operational pilot in F-4 and F-16 aircraft. He is a graduate of and later instructed at the USAF Test Pilot School, Pat Daily used an animated and professional presentation to keep his where he has flown and evaluated more than 60 types of military audience engaged at the 8 Wing Leadership Forum last week, aircraft, instructed US and allied pilots in upset recovery techniques (in a variety of aircraft) and is a member of the March 30.

Both men stressed that the path to military and civilian leadership should not be strewn with woefully inadequate low expectations, but that those working their way up in any chain of command need to know what “better” looks like to succeed.

“Good leadership gets the right people in the right place at the right time,” Bannock told his large audience at the Astra Lounge on March 30. In his introduction of Bannock, 8 Wing Commander Colonel Colin Keiver described the veteran as a “distinguished Canadian aviator.”

A key to Bannock’s civilian management style was to keep his employees in good health and get well-qualified management in place. He also felt not enough students were graduating from technical colleges to fill the demand at DeHavilland. Bannock felt leadership in the military and the civilian side faced the same problem if they did not lead well – they would get moved out.

“As a manager, you have to lead and get the people to work for you,” he said, adding that money is most often the best motivating factor.

Bannock was the Commanding Officer of 418 Mosquito Intruder Squadron and 406 Mosquito NF and Intruder Squadron, and he spent one year in Arnprior as a flight instructor. He worked for 25 years with De Havilland, starting as Chief Test Pilot and is noted for being the first man in the world to fly a De Havilland Beaver. He has over 7,000 flying hours in the Beaver and only got rid of his last one four years ago, although he still flies his son’s aircraft.

Pat Daily, in a spectacular civilian career, has flown for American Airlines, Texas Air Aces, Aviation Safety Training (advanced manoeuvering and upset recovery). Prior to founding Convergent Performance, he was the director of Honeywell’s Defense and Space Electronics Systems at Johnson Space Center where he managed the steam to glass program for the space shuttle as well as managed and provided guidance for navigation and control projects for the International Space Station, and the space shuttle.

There are four levels of professionals, according to Daily – those who reflect professionalism, those who comply with the rules of professionalism, the fully energized expert doing the best they can to reach their full potential, and the game changer, the professionals that change the way things are done and make it better for others.

Daily pointed out a couple of things others in the audience may have noticed, including that the person teaching someone else is often helped to get better in the process.

“The person giving help benefits from the person receiving help,” he said.

There were a couple of pitfalls Daily warned professions to avoid – the arrogance which prevents a professional from recognizing a need to get better and he also stated that what professionals do not do in their careers impacts their professional path. Daily advised professionals to seek information where they could and take advantage of the sources available to them.

“Sometimes, all we need is somebody to show us that better is possible,” he added.

Adding some humour to his presentation, Daily advised all professionals to avoid the mediocrity of the lollipop, or they will suck forever. Brutal honesty is also necessary for professionals as they do the work while climbing the professional ladder, he said.

“Sometimes people just don’t want to face reality,” he said, adding that shared adversity can often be very rewarding. “Training is critical in all endeavours but you should also stop while you still care about how you are doing your job.”

Daily told up and coming leaders to expect a fight, because often people don’t want to be told how bad they are doing. At the same time, professionals should never be afraid of getting better.

“In that regard, remove the barriers that keep your people from getting better,” he added. “Work together for systemic improvement. And when you see improvement, celebrate it!”

His final piece of advice was that when a professional is presented with a mentoring moment, “…seize it and make that person better. Find what better looks like and then engage the group.”

Local author Simpson launches historical tome April 22

BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Belleville—An officer, a reprobate and a Royal Marine during the Napoleonic Wars, the life of Captain Charles MacDonald reads like an adventure novel. But Soldier, Settler Sinner by Jane Simpson is a true story about one of the most colourful people ever to live in Hastings County.

At an event to be hosted by the Hastings County Historical Society, Simpson will launch her new book about this unusual man on Saturday, April 22, between 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. in the Manly MacDonald Gal-

lery at the Belleville Library.

She also will be at Chapters in Belleville from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. the following day to sign copies of her book.

Simpson, who now lives in Kanata, was born in Belleville and attended high school in Tweed. She spent many summers with her grandparents in Point Anne, a village south of Belleville and the birthplace of painter Manley MacDonald.

“It took me around two years to write the book and publish it,” Simpson said. “He (Captain MacDonald) was a bit of a rogue who surprised

me at every turn. This fellow was also the ancestor of Manly MacDonald, so it’s great we are holding the book launch in the Manly MacDonald room at the Library.”

She said MacDonald fathered 17 children with several different women, leaving many of his descendants in Hastings County. She herself is the greatgreat-great granddaughter of Charles MacDonald. But the amazing thing is that this man lived long enough to father any children, let alone 17.

“He cheated death during a succession of dangerous situa-

tions, such as island battles in the Caribbean, outbreaks of tropical disease, mutiny, hazardous sea voyages, and a cholera outbreak in Quebec City upon arrival in the new world,” she said.

The book features photographs encompassing the Captain’s life in England, the West Indies and the shores of the Bay of Quinte, and includes a foreword by Vern Whalen, author of Point Anne: History of a

Cement Factory Village.

Simpson said she was adamant that the book be locally produced.

“The book designer was Jozef VanVeenen (of) Tikit Visuals from Belleville,” she said.

“The editor was Orland French from Belleville and the book is being printed by Steve Campbell from County Magazine in Bloomfield.”

Simpson is a retired nurse

who has held administrative positions in health care and lectured at the University of Ottawa. She is a lifetime member of the Hastings County Historical Society, a member of the Marilyn Adam Genealogy Research Centre and a member of the Capital Crime Writers in Ottawa.

People First holds rally protesting picketers in front of homes

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford — People with intellectual disabilities who have been pulled into the middle of contract negotiations between Community Living Campbellford/Brighton and unionized workers held a rally April 8 to say they've had enough.

They and their supporters gathered at Old Mill Park to protest having group homes picketed by members of Ontario Public Service Employees Union Local 316 who have been on strike since March 22.

It's “shameful and horrible,� said Kory Earle, past-president of People First of Ontario. “If there is a problem between employees and employers, take it to your employer's office, not the people you are paid to support. They haven't done anything wrong.�

Seeing staff outside their homes is “confusing and scary� for them, he said.

The residents “are being used as pawns� in labour talks, he charged. “You can never justify picketing in front of people's home, it is plain wrong,� Earle said. “Enough is enough. We are demanding OPSEU union workers do the right thing: Stop picketing people's homes.�

His plea was echoed by Jennifer Grol, who heads People First Northumberland, and Nadine Lafrance,

A rally was held Saturday at Old Mill Park to protest striking OPSEU workers setting up pickets in front of homes where people with intellectual disabilities reside.

John Campbell/Metroland

president of People First of Lanark.

Grol said she's not against people striking or picketing in front of an office, but not in front of people's homes, "it's very wrong.�

Lafrance called it “unfair.�

Dufferin-Caledon MPP Sylvia Jones sent a letter relaying her “best wishes� for the rally. She has tried for years to have her private member's bill passed that would prohibit picketing of supportive-group homes where people with developmental

disabilities reside.

Earle called on Premier Kathleen Wynne to “stand up� for people with intellectual disabilities and put a stop to the pickets in front of people's homes, which are meant to be a sanctuary and “safe place.�

Courtney Huycke, chief steward with the union local and a member of the bargaining committee, said the union won a court case several years ago affirming its members' legal right to picket in front of their

“workplace.� “That is why we're picketing in front of the homes ... that's where we work,� she said. “We have a very respectful picket line,� OPSEU Local 316 president Shawn Devries said.

He reiterated the union's opposition to Community Living's demand that OPSEU members use their own vehicles to transport residents when requested. “We've always had the opportu-

nity to say no,� he said.

The agency has 13 vehicles available to take the people it serves on trips for medical appointments, volunteer opportunities or recreational outings, but “it's first come, first served,� Devries said, and with 140 people to support, workers are often called upon to use their own cars.

If they are compelled to do so, it will add $500 to their auto insurance premium, Devries said.

Some insurance companies have said they will drop them as clients, because of the “huge liability,�

Huycke added. “If we get in an accident with someone in our vehicles, their families can sue us.�

OPSEU has 64 contracts in Ontario's developmental services sector, and only two of them require employees to use their cars, Devries said.

The workers began their strike March 22.

Local 316 represents 91 employees; 71 of the 83 who voted on the first contract offer rejected it.

A bargaining session was held March 28 and another was scheduled for Monday, April 10.

Community Living has offered a 20-cent hourly increase as well as a lump-sum payment of $750.

The workers are paid between $18 and $25 an hour.

Belleville singer advances to semifinal round of country talent search

BY BILL FREEMAN

Bethany — Belleville’s Dustin Bird has busted through to the semifinal round of the Next Country Music Star Talent Search.

The acclaimed talent show, hosted by The Ranch resort in Bethany in partnership with the Havelock Country Jamboree, is one of the most sought-after performance gigs in the southern Ontario and has helped launch the careers of a number of rising stars including last year’s winner Sacha Visagie, who grew up in Warkworth and has been wowing audiences across Ontario.

The winners from each round advance to the April 22 semifinals along with three wild card selections.

Ten performers move on to the

final round of judging.

Bird topped the sold-out opening round on March 18, advancing to the semifinals along with wild card pick Alessia Cohle from Toronto.

On hand for opening night were Havelock Jamboree owners Ed Leslie and Paula Chopik, with Peterborough musician Jan Schoute; Sylvia Mason, of Catherine Faint Entertainment; Jen Goheen of Havelock Jamboree; and booking manager and stage manager Bruce Sutton.

Bird’s “near-perfect performance captivated everyone,” said Jane Doidge of The Ranch Resort.

“Dustin took everyone on a journey inviting every one of us into his set.”

Cohle’s set was equally impressive.

“She and her band put on a performance that generally isn’t seen

except on a big stage in front of a very large crowd,” said Doidge.

Also performing on opening night were Dave Bush of Stirling, The Roy Borden Jr. band of Belleville, and Nicole Mastrangelo of Peterborough.

Winning the March 25 round was The Greg Williams Band out of Toronto with Cameron von Criegern of Peterborough earning a wildcard spot.

Also on stage were The Next Generation Seaboyer Band from Havelock, John Anderson from Barrie, Country Spice from Durham Region, and Stirling’s Rob Donaldson.

Belleville firefighters took advantage of warm sunshine and fast-moving Moira River currents Sunday afternoon for some swift-water training on the Moira River near Station Street. Conservation authorities on both the Moira and Trent watersheds are warning of dangerous conditions on area waterways owing to rain runoff and melting snow in the headwaters.

Annual jazz fest focuses on 150th birthday celebrations

BY JACK EVANS

Like Canada’s Sesquicentennial, this year brings some significant anniversaries for the jazz world, a press conference at Huff’s Estates Winery last week was told.

The event was to unveil plans for the 17th annual Prince Edward County Jazz Festival, Aug.15-20 at venues throughout the county and featuring some of the best jazz musicians on the planet.

Festival Chair, John Puddy, of Hillier, noted the event has become “one of the most highlyJohn Puddy, left, chair of the annual Prince Edward respected mainstream jazz festiCounty Jazz Festival and Brian Barlow creative di- vals in Canada” and stated: “This year will clearly establish the fesrector, display a poster for the annual festival.

Jack Evans/Metroland tival as the number one producer

of world-class, live jazz entertainment in a part of Ontario becoming well-known not only for its wine and cuisine, but also for its creative contributions to Canadian culture.”

Brian Barlow, Creative Director, noted that Canada and Canadians have made significant contributions to jazz, including providing some of the best jazz artists in North America.

Historically 2017 marks the 100th anniversary of the first jazz recording, “Lively Stable Blues” by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band.

“And what a year 1917 was for important birthdays,” he added.

Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonius Monk and more, were all born in that year. The work of these centenary artists will be recognized in this season’s concerts.

Another salute to Canada’s 150 will take the form of a presentation based on Canadian jazz artists who have received the Order of Canada for their talents, including Quinte area horn player Guido Basso, plus Don Thompson, piano and vibes, Dave Young, bass and Terry Clarke, drums. That will be Saturday, Aug. 19 in The Regent Theatre. The kick-off event in Baxter Hall, Bloomfield, will be “One Hundred Years of Jazz, a joint presentation by Brian Barlow and Andy Sparling,” free admission.

Another major

change is the inclusion of a “featured artist” at concerts throughout the week. This year, it will be jazz violinist Drew Jerecka, who claims Stephane Grapelli as his inspiration.

The festival will continue to feature main stream concerts at The Regent and St. Mary Magdalene Church plus lounges and dineries around the county, open air concerts and after-hours entertainment. Full details remain to be completed before the festival launches on Tuesday, Aug. 16, with the Baxter Hall presentation.

Puddy also noted that after 16 years of being under the wing of the Prince Edward County Arts Council, this year the festival is now its own not-for-profit operation.

Canada’s 150th barbershop style If you enjoy a lusty all male choir singing some of your favourite songs, then circle Saturday evening, April 29 on your calendar for the annual A Cappella Quinte show at Belleville’s Maranatha Church auditorium. The more-than-30 voices in the chorus will be boosted by Belleville’s own nationally-acclaimed talent, Jeanette Arsenault, whose hit national song, “This Is My Canada” will bring this exciting concert to a close.

Other songs on the program include the beautiful East Coast folk ballad, “Song for the Mira,” the iconic Leonard Cohen hit, “Hallelujah,” the folk song hit , “Fare Thee Well Love,” and a hilarious comedy skit

OUTSTANDING CRAFTSMANSHIP

based on the musical ballad, “The Shooting of Dan McGrew.”

Take a road trip with the chorus around Canada with “Let’s Get Away from it All,” or even around Prince Edward County with “County Roads”with paraphrased words.

Tickets at $20, ($10 for youth) are available from chorus members, the Quinte Arts Council office or at the door. Show time is 7:31 p.m. so it won’t be a late night.

This is your chance to hear A Cappella’s enlarged chorus’s new sound and meet our new chorus director, Patrick Headley of Bloomfield.

It will also be a great way to celebrate Canada’s Sesquicentennial.

McDougall family fund contest returns this spring Belleville – McDougall Insurance & Financial is hosting the fourth McDougall Family Fund Contest with a grand prize of $5,000 to be awarded to the winner.

Starting May 1, any local charity, non-profit organization or community project that enhances the local community can submit a two-minute video explaining their project, how it benefits the community as well as what they would do if they

were to win the prize money.

The McDougall Family Fund Contest is a great way to rally up communities for an amazing cause.

McDougall Insurance wants to give back to one lucky winner within any of its branch-communities.

This is a social media based contest through the business’s Facebook contest page; submissions will be accepted from May 1 to May 15.

From May 16-19 judges will select the top-10 finalists. Then from May 22 to May 31, the public can vote for the winning community project. The winner will be announced June 1.

McDougall Insurance has always had a strong passion for giving back to the community. Last year’s winner, Challenger Baseball, used the money to go towards a future project of building a wheelchair accessible rub-

berized Baseball Diamond for children with physical disabilities.

Winners in previous years include Queen Elizabeth Public school from Picton and the Wilno Community Centre in Wilno.

Queen Elizabeth used the $5,000 for a garden space for students and the Wilno Community Centre used the prize money for a new furnace in the community centre.

Public can comment on Bay of Quinte cleanup process

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – For decades it has been a pollution hotspot; a body of water that no person should swim in and certainly not drink water from.

But after 30 years of work by environmentalists, the Bay of Quinte is close to no longer being considered an area of concern within the Great Lakes.

Officials are ready to start the process of changing the status on three remaining environmental challenges for the bay to unimpaired.

The challenges related to fish populations, habitat and underwater bugs have all met the scientific criteria necessary to change their status, said the Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan Restoration Council, an organization that works with senior governments to clean up the bay.

However, an integral part of this

process is public consultation, the council says. It’s asking people to email comments about whether they support or don’t support a recommendation to change the status on these environmental challenges to unimpaired. Comments can be sent to smidlanejones@ bqrap.ca by Friday, May 5.

But it’s clear to officials who’ve worked on the waterway that the Bay of Quinte has come a long way and is as clean as it’s ever been in recent history.

Efforts to clean up the Bay of Quinte can be traced back to 1984, when the International Joint Water Commission was formed with support from the Canada and the United States, to work on environmental cleanups. At that time, the Bay of Quinte had 84 items on a check list that environmentalists needed to complete for it to be removed as an area of concern.

But today, by all accounts, the bay has healthy fish populations and once again serves a lucrative tourism industry that caters to boaters, anglers and anyone who loves water.

“Today, the Bay of Quinte is a healthy and vibrant ecosystem, wellknown for its world-class walleye and bass fishery,” said Terry Murphy, the general manager of Quinte Conservation and the co-chair for the restoration council. “Reaching this milestone, in rehabilitating the Bay, is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our federal, provincial, and municipal partners, as well as, industry, agriculture, the public and local conservation authorities.”

The BQRAP Restoration Council has approved the environmental challenges related to fish populations and habitat and underwater bugs be circulated for a 30-day public comment

period.

The council will review and address all comments. Next, the reports will be sent to Environment and Climate Change Canada and the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change for final review.

At this stage, additional technical review or specific work can be requested, or the reports will be approved.

Once approved, the reports are sent to the governments of Canada and Ontario to seek formal concurrence on the status change. Once both governments agree, the three environmental challenges will be considered unimpaired.

“These are exciting times for the Bay of Quinte Restoration Council,” said Glenda Rogers, the Chief Administrative Officer of Lower Trent Conservation and the other council co-chair.

“After several decades of reha-

bilitating the Bay we are able to start the process to change the status for a number of the environmental challenges. Now, we must ensure strategies are in place, so the Bay doesn’t back slide to conditions that required a remedial action plan in the first place.”

All eleven environmental challenges attributed to the Bay of Quinte have to undergo this process to have their status changed to unimpaired.

When this process is complete, the Bay of Quinte can be taken off the Great Lakes Areas of Concern list. In 2016, the environmental challenges – restrictions on dredging activities and fish tumours and other deformities – were sent to the federal and provincial governments for formal acceptance of their status change.

The final reports and supporting information can be found on the BQRAP web site www.bqrap.ca.

Marmora and Lake council votes to appeal Crowe Valley levy

BY SUE DICKENS

Marmora — Marmora and Lake Council is saying no to the 2017 Crowe Valley Conservation Authority (CVCA) levy of a 12. 8 per cent increase and has voted to appeal.

The increase in the levy had been approved at the CVCA’s last meeting, but not unanimously. The authority decided to create two budgets, one for operations and one for capital expenditures, a first for the board.

Ten municipalities are represented on the authority and three no-votes were recorded at the CVCA meeting when the operations budget, at a six

per cent increase, was put on the table.

The capital budget of 6.8 per cent was approved unanimously and both were sent to the municipalities for consideration.

At the time of the CVCA recorded vote, Vice-Chair Ron Gerow, mayor of the Township of Havelock-BelmontMethuen (HBM), and board member Terry Clemens, mayor of the Municipality of Marmora and Lake, as well as board member Irene Martin, representing the Township of Tudor and Cashel, all voted against the operations budget increase.

On April 4 at their regular council

meeting, Marmora and Lake voted unanimously to move forward with an appeal, which will be filed to the Mining and Lands Commissioner as appointed under the ministry of natural resources act.

Included in council’s recommendation was a direction that the Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen’s solicitor, M. John Ewart, file the appeal under the Conservation Authorities Act. Commenting on the authority’s 2017 levy, Deputy Mayor Linda Bracken pointed out: “This equates to a total budget increase of 30 per cent over the five years for the operating budget

alone.”

Mayor Clemens was not at the council meeting.

Marmora council also voted to “engage the services of Collins Barrow to carry out a financial review of the conservation authority’s 2017 budget.”

The council formally requested that the township of HBM share 50 per cent of the legal and auditing costs.

The township has agreed to pay “their share of the cost” of the appeal.

“We were down to our last straw with this,” said councillor Sandy Fraser, Marmora’s rep on the authority board.

“We tried everything to get this turned around and we have nowhere else to go to get this thing turned around.”

Deputy Mayor Bracken added: “I don’t think any taxpayer wants to pay 12 per cent.”

It was also pointed out during the council discussion that there are 10 municipalities represented on the CVCA board and that HBM and Marmora and Lake pay 54 per cent of the Crowe Valley levy with the other eight paying 46 per cent.

“And we each just have one vote,” noted Fraser.

Community Trees 2017: Free seedlings for Hastings residents Since 2006, the Community Trees program has handed out 60,000 tree seedlings to residents of Hastings County. The Hastings Stewardship Council (HSC), with support from municipal councils, has provided this free service to landowners. In April, trees will again be available at no charge for residents of Hastings.

The initiative is designed to encourage residents to plant native trees in appropriate locations: for example, as windbreaks and shade for homes. This helps to reduce energy use and save money on heating and cooling. Trees help clean our air and water, and add habitat for our wildlife.

As a result of the emerald ash borer, significant tree losses are predicted (10-15% in most communities) in the near future. Our urban trees and woodlots are under stress due to our changing climate with more droughts Seedlings such as this will be available free of charges for and extreme weather events. residents of Hastings County April 22 and 29.

In addition, the Hastings Stewardship Council can offer: forest extension services for woodlot owners with more than 10 acres of forested land (through a $100 rebate when using a certified forest consultant) and also guidance for emerald ash borer management.

At the Community Trees events, there will be a variety of coniferous and deciduous trees, and shrubs.

bands and more locations this year, with a bigger focus on the downtown this time to draw people into local businesses. He said there will be 26 sites, including porches at homes and businesses such as Greenhawk that have verandas, plus parking lots and, if the Township approves, at the Covered Bridge.

In addition to the Saturday event, which will be held on May 27, this year's Shenanigans will include a dance the night before at the Stirling Arena and a gospel show on the Sunday.

While the dance tickets are $10 each, Saturday and Sunday events are free and suitable for all ages, he said.

“People loved it (last year) because it was family-friendly,” Bush added.

Tickets for the dance are available at several locations around town. More information is available at the Front Porch Shenanigans Facebook page at https:// w w w. f a c e b o o k . c o m / F r o n t Po r c h - S h e n a n i g a n s - S t i r l i n g 490995744413063/?ref=br_rs

Quinte Symphony joins with Sultans of String

BY JACK EVANS

If you like your symphonic music with plenty of zest, then the Quinte Symphony’s concert on Sunday, May 7 is for you.

Special guests for this final regular concert of the season will be the spirited Juno award-winning ensemble, Sultans of String, for a delightful afternoon of music in Picton’s Regent Theatre.

The Sultans have achieved widespread fame and popularity for their eclectic and polished sounds, particularly from strings. With their genre-hopping passport of Celtic reels, flamenco, Gypsy jazz, Arabic, Cuban and South Asian rhythms, the group celebrates musical fusion and

human creativity with warmth and virtuosity.

Title of the concert is “Fiddler on the Loose,” so it will be a case of “fasten your seatbelt.”

Under Maestro Dan Tremblay , the orchestra, replete with their new four-piece solid copper kettle drum set, will open the concert with an exciting piece called “Changes,” by Canadian composer Clifford Crawley. Crawley was a former conductor of the orchestra when it was still the Eastern Ontario Concert Orchestra. Quinte Symphony last played The Regent several years ago and both players and audience were amazed at the quality of sound the classic old theatre provided.

Quinte Symphony now embraces close to 45 players, spanning Oshawa to Kingston, but mostly from the Quinte area. Formed originally as The Eastern Ontario Concert Orchestra in 1960, it continues to delight audiences of many hundreds and all ages, as well as offer opportunities for area amateur and professional musicians to hone or maintain their skills, including young people. For an idea of what the orchestra sounds like, visit <thequintesymphony.com.> Tickets at the usual prices, $25 adult, $20 for seniors and $10 for students, apply, available by telephone or on line from the Regent Theatre, telephone (613) 476-8416. (NOTE: Because the concert is in a private theatre, the theatre is in charge of box office and ticket sales. Therefore no tickets are being sold through outlets other than the Regent. Tickets will continue to be available at the door and season tickets will be honoured.)

Peterborough — A man from Trent Hills and a woman form Havelock-Belmont-Methuen have been charged following an arrest by a combined joint forces investigation.

They two have been arrested by the community street crime unit composed of detectives from the Peterborough County detachment and Northumberland detachment of the OPP. The arrests happened April 5. Police had conducted a compliance check on the woman accused and found her to be breaching her release conditions by being out after curfew. She was located after a traffic stop on Northumberland County Road 8 in the Municipality of Trent Hills.

There were two occupants inside the 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee, which was reported stolen from the Toronto region. Inside the vehicle, police located additional stolen property (car keys and a dealer plate) linked to a break-in at Earl Ireland's car lot reported earlier in the week.

Drugs were also seized in the search of the stolen auto and the people inside. As a result Jennifer Alisha Bridges, 36, of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Township, has been charged with: failure to comply with probation order; possession of property obtained by crime over $5000 (stolen Grand Cherokee); possession of property obtained by crime under $5000 (car keys and licence plate linked to Earl Ireland break in); possession of a controlled substance (marijuana); possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine). Robert James Prevost, 36, of Trent Hills, has been charged with: failure to comply with probation order (contact with Jennifer Bridges); possession of property obtained by crime over $5000 (stolen Grand Cherokee); possession of property obtained by crime under $5000 (car keys and licence plate linked to Earl Ireland break in).

The two accused were scheduled to appear in the Ontario court of justice in Peterborough for a show cause hearing on April 6.

Hastings — It’s fitting that Canada’s 150th anniversary and iconic 19th century Canadian author Catherine Parr Traill should come together in a special celebratory evening hosted by the Hastings Branch Library April 27.

The library welcomes back Joyce Higgs, a founding member and former chair of the Friends of the Hastings Library, to talk about Traill’s brilliant book Canadian Wildflowers published during the infant days of Confederation in 1868, 52 years after her deservedly praised landmark The Backwoods of Canada.

We admire Traill for Canadian Wildflowers and Plant Life in Canada but also for her seminal 1836 work The Backwoods of Canada and the window it opened into the hard life of a pioneer woman making her way in an unforgiving, but gloriously beautiful country.

“It was very hostile, such hardships that they faced, we have no idea,” says Higgs, “She talked about her burdens, the flowers she was fond of, what she was learning from the First Nations on how to use plants.

“She found that she was very unprepared when she arrived here, but made a good life and lived until she was 97,” Higgs adds. Her book The Female Emigrants Guide was a way of counteracting the “rosy” picture some English promoters used to encourage emigration.

“Leave the china at home, bring seeds, bring nuts, bring warm mittens.”

Traill was a pioneering woman, literary figure and careful observer of nature and life in the “backwoods.”

“What she wrote will resonate with gardeners today.”

The talk will be at the Hastings Civic Centre starting at 7 p.m. Light refreshments will be served. Free-will donations will be gratefully accepted.

IN MEMORIAM COMING EVENTS

OBITUARY

In Loving memory of a wife, mother, sister and friend whom lost her battle with cancer April 16, 2012. Her strength carries on in the people that loved her, still upholding her motto “Falling down is part of Life, Getting up is Living” Forever Loved, missed and always in our Hearts and Thoughts.

Love Mike, Mackenzie, Clayton and Family.

888.967-3237

They say memories are golden Well maybe that is true We never wanted memories We only wanted you A million times we needed you A million times we cried If love alone could have saved you You would have never died In life we loved you dearly In death we love you still In our hearts you hold a place No one could ever fill If tears could build a stairway And heartaches make a lane We’d walk the path to heaven And bring you back again Calm and peaceful they are sleeping Sweetest rest that follows pain We who loved them sadly miss them And trust in God to meet again Sadly missed – Francis Family

What moves through us is a silence, Quite sadness, A longing for one more day, One more word, One more touch, We may not understand why you left this earth so soon Or why you left before we were ready to say goodbye But little by little We begin to remember not just that you died But that you lived And that your life gave us memories Too beautiful to forget When the joys are still remembered But the sorrow has quietly gone There will always be a special place In our hearts where you live on Forever remembered and forever loved Missy, Sherri, and Kim

CHRISTOPHER ROBERTS July 2, 1974 - April 15, 2004

If we could bring you back again, For one more hour or day, We’d express all our unspoken love; We’d have countless things to say.

If we could bring you back again, We’d say we treasured you, And that your presence in our lives Meant more than we ever knew.

If we could bring you back again, To tell you what we should, You’d know how much we miss you now, And if we could, we would.

Love Mom & Dad. Section B - Thursday, April 13, 2017 B17

TRAVEL

All Aboard Arizona’s Verde Canyon Railroad

BY JOHN M. SMITH

When I was in Sedona, Arizona, I decided to drive to nearby historic Clarkdale and take the 4-hour, 20 mi./33 km. trip to the Perkinsville ghost ranch and back.

After all, this trip would take me through some rugged wilderness and spectacular red rock country that’s only accessible by rail. I thought that it would be a wonderful way to explore Arizona’s “other grand canyon”. Indeed, this route proved to be remote and yet breathtakingly beautiful.

My tour began at the train depot in Clarkdale, where I found the Copper Spike Café, the Whistlestop Shop, and the Boxcar Gift Store. I also found several storyboards installed along the depot’s loading platform. These gave me details about the history of this railroad and its vintage locomotives and historic rail cars. Some of these storyboards also provided details of my upcoming journey, including plants and animals that I might see along the way. I also visited the depot’s John Bell Museum, where the railroad’s history and artifacts (including switch locks and lanterns) were housed in an old boxcar.

I discovered that there were several seating options on this historic train, for Coach Class ($64.95) provided traditional Pullman-style seating, while First Class ($89.95) offered more space per passenger and more comfortable seating, even with couches (it was much like being in your living room) – and it included a champagne toast and complimentary appetizers. Yet another option for a group (up to 6) was to reserve the caboose ($700.00), or an individual could even choose to ride up in the locomotive with the engineer and conductor ($700.00, including lunch and a photo of you with the crew). I also found out that both Coach Class and First Class also provided separate open-air viewing cars, so it was as if each guest had two seats for the price of one (the canopied cars also had benches to sit on, and allowed the passenger to be out in the fresh air, surrounded by the grandeur of the canyon landscape).

My particular First Class coach was named Sycamore, and next to it was the Camp Verde coach, our viewing platform. This gave us passengers the option of taking photos from either inside or outside, and the train’s slow speed (about 10 mph) made it easy to get those photos. Our journey was accompanied by occasional narratives about upcoming points of interest, and when no one was

talking to us, then various railroad songs would be played, including Gordon Lightfoot’s classic: There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun Long before the white man, and long before the wheel When the green dark forest was too silent to be real But time has no beginnings and history has no bound As to this verdant country they came from all around

They sailed upon her waterways and they walked the forests tall Built the mines, the mills and the factories for the good of us all Ironically, Lightfoot was talking specifically about the Canadian railroad in his song, but it seemed to apply just fine here.

After all, the Verde Canyon Railroad was built because of the area’s mining industry, particularly nearby Jerome’s copper mine and Clarkdale’s smelter. The route included a 680 foot man-made tunnel that was cut right through the rock and some high railroad bridges, and we encountered these

on our excursion.

When the mines eventually shut down, many of the little communities in this area became not much more than ghost towns – and the train route was no longer a necessity. However, it was decided that this area was simply too scenic to simply abandon.

Therefore, the COACH train route was revitalized as a tourist attraction – and it has been running

through this canyon in this capacity since 1990.

On our particular excursion, we followed the Verde River for much of the time, crossed it via trestles, passed several eagles’ nests, and encountered some towering red rock pinnacles along our way. When we eventually reached the end of the line, in Perkinsville, there wasn’t much to see except the remnants of the old depot and some grazing cattle. Apparently this land is still owned by the Perkins family, but there’s no village or any fancy houses to be seen here. The land is simply used for pasture. Our locomotive was detached, turned around on a turntable, taken to the other end of our train on a separate rail line, and then re-connected, now next to the caboose, for our return trip. We stayed aboard during this process, for there really wasn’t anywhere to go.

One interesting phenomenon that I noticed on the return trip to Clarkdale was that the atmosphere on the train seemed much more subdued. That first glimpse of the newly anticipated sights just down the track or around the next curve had already been experienced – and the majority of stunning photos had already been taken. Passengers seemed more content now to simply relax, put away the camera, and just enjoy the view. Some even had a nap!

The Good Earth More spring tasks to ready the garden, lawn

Dan Clost

Some times it works out.

Last week’s column talked about wet soil and warned that frost was still on the way. On the day of publication, 29.9mm of total precipitation sluiced down upon us. The evening afterwards, the temps dipped to well below freezing; low enough that we had to cover leafedout shrubs at the nursery with frost blankets. Gentle Reader, it is always a bit of a mug’s game trying to predict weather a week or so in advance so when it does work out right, one feels pretty

good. Next time we meet, feel free to give me a pat on the back, my own elbow is a bit sore at the moment:) This column will be published in the middle of Aprilstill a titch early for much lawn work; however, there are some who hold with the phenological (study of the relationship of climate to cyclical biological events) dictum: when the yellow forsythia blooms it is time to fertilize the lawn. The caveat here is to find out where this particular saying arose. In our areas (Quinte West and

all parts north and east), the soil is simply too wet and cold and the grass is not yet into full swing. There is a risk that much of the expensive nitrogen will be leached out before the roots are actively searching for it. Wait another week or so and you can combine fertilizing with pre-emergent weed management, i.e. applying corn gluten meal. In the meantime, you certainly should stroll the greensward and nick out any weeds that you see. I favour using a sharpened hoe and just clipping below the crown at ground level especially for long tap-rooted chappies like Canada thistle.

For dandelions, plantain, as well as hen-bit and other mint related invaders, I have a stand-up claw weeder.

When I do my IPM (integrated pest management) walkabouts on our estate, I carry one of those tools with me. Along with keeping on top of problems, it spreads out the chore part of gardening so there is more time

available for the fun partssitting on the thinking bench with a beverage and watching the plants grow.

This is a good time to prepare your containers for the season but now is not the time to plant them up. Do a quick inventory of the containers, clean them up and trial set them around the property. It is a lot easier to shuffle empty pots about than full ones. If you will be doing up large vegetable and herb planters for the deck and patio (wherever the barbecue resides), you might consider placing a caddy underneath. This will let you rearrange the area to accommodate different events, or simply move the plants in and out of the sun/shade.

You can match the soil and amendments to the specific plants you will be selecting.

It is important to remember conditions in a container are very different from the ground. Everyone is aware of the need for drainage but we’re not always genned

up on compaction. Garden soil shovelled into a large container will slowly settle down closing up vital pore space necessary for air and water movement. Look for designated container mixes; it will be on the bag, e.g.

Fafard’s Verandah Mix. If you want to go old school, mix up your own: 2 parts peat or coir, 1 part compost, 1 part perlite or vermiculite. Keep in mind that this will not “feed” your plants.

They will feed themselves but you must give them the nutrients they need to make more “plant” bits like stems, leaves, and fruits.

For large containers, consider a bottom layer of manure. Roots should be tickling the bottom in mid to late summer and the plants will appreciate the availability of all the good stuff clinging to the organic matter.

A tip from my friend, Doug Green: if you’re growing bush tomatoes in a container you need seven shovels of soil per plant.

Dresses for girls around the world YOU’RE INVITED!!

Peyton Shirk, Chelsea Danna and Abigail Shepstone, grade seven students at St. Paul Catholic Elementary School in Norwood.

Bill Freeman/Metroland

BY BILL FREEMAN

Norwood — What started out as a sewing project for 20 students at St. Paul Catholic Elementary School in Norwood has morphed into a schoolwide enterprise to make 160 dresses for girls in developing countries who can only dream of owning their own, never-before-worn outfit.

“Our goal is 160 dresses because we have 160 females in the building,” says special education resource teacher Michele Keating who’s leading an initiative inspired by Hope 4 Women International’s “Dress a Girl around The World” program.

Hope 4 Women International is a nondenominational independent Christian organization that began in Uganda in 2006 to help women become self-sufficient by developing businesses of their own.

The group’s dressmaking project started in 2009 with the simple dream of “a world where every girl has at least one dress” starting out with simple pillowcase dresses but now including trendier styles built from equally simple patterns.

In eight years, the program has delivered over 300,000 dresses to girls in 81 different countries.

Now, some of those dresses will come from St. Paul in Norwood where all grade five to eight students along with staff members will make dresses.

“I thought I’d get 20 volunteers but when I did the classroom presentations virtually everyone wanted to do it,” said Keating. “Lucky for me that we have a lot of generous people in the community and a lot of people willing to come in and help on sewing days.

“I’m overwhelmed by the response. It’s going to be like a mini assembly line. Everybody was enthusiastic about learning to use the sewing machines.”

They have two machines at the moment with a few more expected and received discounted deals from both Stedman’s (T-shirts) and Your #1 Sewing Centre in Campbellford. Part of the preparation has included washing 180 T-shirts and 160 meters of fabric.

Keating and helpers will work with each class to cut fabric and then teams of six to seven will rotate through their sewing stations.

“It’s a really simple project for people to enter into sewing because we’re starting with the Tshirt already made and just adding fabric and pockets to the bottom. It’s not an intimidating project.”
