Vimy Ridge sacrifice remembered in Madoc By Diane Sherman Madoc - Canada’s rich military heritage was the centre of two important events in Madoc over the past few days. On April 4, just before sundown, the 385 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps marched from their base at the Kiwanis Club in Madoc to the municipal office, where they raised their flag in recognition of Canada’s most-celebrated military victory, the Battle of Vimy Ridge, April 9-12, 1917. The proclamation read by Mayor Tom Deline on behalf of the cadet corps, shared their commitment to educate all cadets on the events of that battle, which marked a turning point for Canada as a country. April 10, the speaker at the annual veteran’s dinner hosted by Royal Canadian Legion Branch 363 Madoc, focused on the highlights, strategies and Canada’s role in the Vimy victory. Author Ann Shmelzer shared details of how four divisions of the Canadian forces came together for the first time in battle under Captain Roy Matacheskie, with the 385 Army Cadet Corps, assembled at the Centre Hastings municipal office April 4 with Mayor Tom Deline and Councillor Britain’s General Julian Byng and Canada’s General Arthur Currie. Eric Sandford, to honour the Battle of Vimy Ridge. Cadet Cpl. Ashley Wilson held the flag aloft. Photo by Diane Sherman They proceeded after extensive

rehearsal for the assault, making one of the most strategic advances in the First World War. Shmelzer did extensive research on details of the first war for her book, A Marginally Noted Man, released Nov. 2015, describing the lives of two soldiers returning from war in 1919. She asked dinner guests to help find the names of local residents who served at Vimy, so they can be properly recorded in a work she is doing. A handful of veterans with spouses, and families of those who have passed on, enjoyed a roast beef dinner catered by Linda Lain, with attentive service by uniformed cadets of the 385 Corps. Padre Terry Pigden said the grace with a special request to remember Legion President Gardener Stevenson, who has been a dedicated member, historian and service officer with Branch 363 over the years. Stevenson has taken seriously ill and was unable to attend. Shmelzer’s book can be found at the Madoc library. Information regarding Vimy veterans can be left at the Madoc Legion, or call Ann Shmelzer at 613-473-3835.

Northumberland cop pleads guilty Orillia - The future of a Northumberland provincial police officer appears dim. Northumberland OPP officer Const. James Orser pleaded guilty Monday to Discreditable Conduct at a Police Services Act hearing in Orillia. The charge was laid by OPP based on a compromising cellphone video Orser made in 2011 of a person and then shared images
with other OPP officers. Sentencing submissions will be made May 2 and 4 at OPP headquarters in Orillia. In addition to the current offence, Orser was docked 80 hours of pay in 2008 after writing inappropriate comments on a ticket. The OPP is moving to have Orser, who is suspended from duty, with pay, dismissed from the force.
Cabaret show coming to Stirling Festival Theatre Friday
By Terry McNamee
Stirling - If you like music, laughter and the rather risqué culture of the 1930s, come to the Stirling Festival Theatre this Friday, April 15, for the Hot House Cabaret. The show features Steve Hunter on piano and the music, storytelling and comedy of torch singer, actor and songwriter Suzanne McKenney. “This is a new show that I hope to be touring around Ontario,” McKenney said. “The show has humour, amazing music, great stories and fabulous tidbits of history, all focused on the music and
mood of the 1930s.” The show features the great music of the time, such as boogie-woogie, jazz, blues and ragtime. There will be two performances at 2 and 8 p.m. The Stirling Festival theatre is located in the heart of downtown Stirling. Tickets are $24 for theatre members, $26 for seniors and $28 for non-members. There is also a pre-show dinner for $26 that starts at 6 p.m. Taxes are extra. For tickets, visit the theatre box office or call 613395-2100, or email the theatre at tickets@stirlingfestivaltheatre.com.

Next Country Music Star Talent Search semi-final card filling up By Bill Freeman Havelock – The Next Country Music Star Talent Search continues to fill up its roster for the April 23 semi-final at The Ranch Resort in Bethany. The grand prize winner gets a coveted spot on stage at the 27th annual Havelock Country Jamboree along with an impressive package of industry-related prizes. The latest performers to move on the semi-final round are the Jordy Jackson Band from the Kingston area and Ottawa’s Sandi Skye Band with Kevin Bates from Bancroft one of the wildcard positions and also advancing to the April 23 show. They join Jesse Slack, Brooklyn Roebuck and David Byrski, who have also earned semi-final berths with
more to be announced. The four-judge panel called the Jordy Jackson Band’s set “dynamic” and “bursting with musical and vocal skills, entertaining choreography and engaging stage presence.” The judges also cited their “wellwritten originals and song choice” along with the band’s “connection to the audience” before sending them on to the semi-finals. Sandi Skye was lauded for her “well-rehearsed and well-delivered performance,” and the judges heaped praise on the young Ottawa-area singer for her original songs. Wildcard winner Kevin Bates also caught their attention. “You could feel the passion he has for country music,” they said. Five performers competed each
night. The competition runs every Saturday night until April 16, with the semifinals on April 23 and finals April 27. One winning act each night will advance to the semi-finals, with three wild cards picked by fans and judges also advancing. Audience tickets are available in advance by calling The Ranch Resort at 705-277-1942 or at the door for $10. There is also a $20 buffet dinner from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. throughout the series, with bar beverages and food available during the performances. You find out more at info@ thenextcountrymusicstar.ca. Last year, Prince Edward County brother and sister duo, Instant Rivalry, took the grand prize.
Your next home could be just a click away... The Sandi Skye Band from Ottawa has advanced to the semi-final of the Next Country Music Star Talent Search, which is being held at The Ranch Resort in Bethany. The competition is a partnership between The Ranch and the Havelock Country Jamboree.

OPINION
Donald Trump and Groucho Marx “These are my principles, and if you don’t like them...Well, I have others.” Groucho Marx
The odds have lengthened against a Donald Trump presidency after his Wisconsin defeat, and they were probably already against. If he Gwynne Dyer 10-1 wins the Republican nomination, which is still very likely, he will almost certainly face Hillary Clinton in the November election, and lose badly. Or at least that is the orthodox calculation, for Trump is far behind Clinton with key voter groups like women, Latinos, African-Americans, and young people who bother to vote. But she is an uninspiring campaigner, she is the ultimate Washington insider in a season where insiders are out, and there are a few skeletons that might come rattling out of her closet during the campaign. A big terrorist attack could also change the odds. So President Donald Trump is still a small but real possibility. You wouldn’t be a fool to put a dollar down if somebody offered you 12-1 odds. That frightens a lot of people quite badly, especially when it comes to foreign policy, for he is the loosest of loose cannons – or so it seems. There he goes, starting a trade war with China, pushing Japan and South Korea to get their own nuclear weapons, trashing NATO, building a wall to keep Mexicans out, and closing the US border to all Muslims. He’s even in favour of torturing suspected terrorists. But would he really be as rash and ignorant in the White House as he is while in campaign mode? All of his present positions are calculated to appeal to the group whose support he must win to get the Republican nomination: “angry white men” who feel that they have been cheated of their right to a good job and a central role in American politics by unseen economic and demographic forces and clever, wicked foreigners. The internal politics of the Republican Party is now largely dominated by their concerns. Trump is so focussed on getting their support, that he even opposes the traditional Republican policies that have contributed to their marginalisation and impoverishment: free trade, low taxes for the rich and deep cuts in welfare programs. And he gets away with it, although no other Republican candidate would. Once Trump wins the nomination, however,

he must appeal to a broader audience to win the election, and he is a past master at changing his tune. Five years ago his publicly declared principles would have qualified him to run for the Democratic presidential nomination, but, like Groucho Marx, he can come up with other principles in a flash when it serves his interests. Take abortion rights: five years ago he defended women’s right to choose, last week he wanted to jail women if they chose abortion, and in the face of a public outcry, he rapidly retreated, and said he just wanted to punish the doctors who did the abortions. Whatever the audience wants, it gets. Once the Republican nomination is in the bag, and Trump must address a broader audience to win the election, he will have to shift his ground, and he will do it. (The angry white men will just have to tag along, because they have nowhere else to go.) Then, if he should win the election, he might change his policies again. Who is the real Donald Trump? The answer is that there is no real Donald Trump, in terms of policies and principles. He will do anything and say anything to get what he wants, but beyond being elected president, it isn’t clear that he wants anything in particular. If ideologues frighten you, then you needn’t worry about the Donald. What does legitimately frighten people about Donald Trump is his ignorance (which is not just a show to appeal to his current audience) and his impulsiveness. On the other hand, he is actually quite intelligent, and as president he would have to rely on military officers and civil servants who really do not want to uproot and overturn everything. Moreover, they can generally block or sabotage truly stupid decisions, if that becomes necessary. The result might be a presidency with a foreign policy like Richard Nixon’s: paranoid, unscrupulous, but not ideological at all and not given to needless provocations on the international scene. The trickiest bit would be Trump’s first few months in office, because he has definitely frightened the horses internationally and they are getting ready to bolt. It is hard to overstate just how frightened other governments are about Trump in the White House. The word “fascist” gets used a lot in private even by national leaders, and of course it used publicly every day by the mass media in most other countries. Perhaps the biggest danger is that America’s allies and enemies would react pre-emptively to his rhetoric without waiting to see what he actually does in office. So, on mature reflection, it really would be a very bad idea for Trump to become the president of the United States.

Did you hear the one about the air force colonel? Editorial - Chris Malette By now, many of you have heard of the abominably boneheaded insult that was foisted on a female Parliamentarian by a provincial legislator at what was billed as a “men’s night” cancer fundraising event in the Ottawa Valley a couple weeks back. Progressive Conservative MPP Jack MacLaren was a ‘guest’ at the event in his riding and felt it funny – it being a men’s night and all – to unravel a crude, poorly told ‘joke’ about MP Karen McCrimmon, a former air force squadron commander of of high esteem in these parts and across the air force. MacLaren, the MPP for Carleton-Mississippi Mills, had been among guests at the head table onstage. He was invited to read off greetings as the riding’s representative at Queens Park when he took the microphone. McCrimmon was among a number of women volunteers serving at the event in Carp. That was when it turned south, by all accounts. The ham-handed MacLaren fumbled some nonsense to “put (McCrimmon) on the spot” over the impact on farmers of the federal Liberal capital gains tax policy, then made a comment about her body, shifting to stand behind the MP, saying, “I’m not getting behind you.” He then read off a joke about McCrimmon and her husband that referenced their sexual relationship, according to several who attended the fundraiser at the Carp Agricultural Hall. I read the story, incredulous when The Toronto Star broke the news, having known McCrimmon and reported on her rise to prominence at CFB Trenton. She was the former commander of 429 Transport Squadron, at 8 Wing – the first-ever woman to not only attain the role of navigator in the air force, but to command an air force squadron. This woman, to say the least, is not only a hero to a lot of women in the Armed Forces, but is a pioneer in the RCAF annals. She retired in 2006 with a rank of lieutenant-colonel, but not before she served in Europe as Senior Staff Officer at the NATO Air Headquarters. She did a tour of duty in Afghanistan in 2004 where she was responsible for NATO airlift co-ordination. What does a decorated air force veteran – who just happens to be a woman – get for her service to our country and in breaking ground
for women who followed? She gets degraded by a lout like MacLaren, who still holds his seat and suffered not one whiff of sanction from the leader of his provincial party. At the March 24 dinner, MacLaren clearly planned the stunt, thinking it would bring a round of guffaws. But, the so-called joke fell flat in the room, according to several people in the audience, and the oaf MacLaren shambled offstage to exactly zero applause and a room full of jaws agape at his bald crudeness. McCrimmon said she experienced vulgarity and sexism during her time in the military. But she said even so, MacLaren’s comments surprised her. “I like a good bawdy joke ... but when you bring someone up on stage and use their name and their husband’s name to make a joke ... you’ve got to draw the line there…” But, it seems this rube’s party leader won’t be banishing MacLaren from caucus or anything other than a simple backroom slap on the wrist. Progressive Conservative Leader Patrick Brown went through the motions, after the news about macLaren’s gaffe broke. “We have zero tolerance for misogynistic comments and an apology was made correctly to Karen McCrimmon this morning,” Brown said at Queen’s Park. “I think it was appropriate that that apology be made directly to Karen,” he added. But Brown said MacLaren would not be turfed from the Tory caucus for embarrassing his party. “Mr. MacLaren understood that it was important to apologize directly,” said the Tory leader. “No explanation (would) suffice for me; an apology was needed.” Pfffft! That was it. ‘Bad boy. Go apologize right now and scurry back here into caucus,’ was the message. That apology, by the way, came 13 days from the original incident at the cancer dinner. It took 13 days for this lummox to figure out he said something offensive, foul and entirely out of 1963, basically forced to do the right thing in the end. Who says we should be glad we have no one like Donald Trump here in Canadian politics?

Oak Hills Golf Club is back in business By Terry McNamee Stirling - The weather may be cold and the course not quite ready for use, but golfers were out in force on Saturday, April 9, for the open house
of Oak Hills Golf Club Ltd. and the chance to register for league play. Located just outside of Stirling on the northern edge of Quinte West, the club was purchased on February 28 by local businessman Andrew Gunning.
Gunning said the course and clubhouse had been in serious need of maintenance and upgrading, and that work is now underway. “We‘re renovating the main floor of the clubhouse right now,” he said. “We‘re getting the course cleaned up. We‘ll have better management and high standards.” The course itself will not be altered,
he said, but a lot of restoration is currently underway to clear away broken limbs and debris and prune trees and shrubbery where needed. He said opening day is entirely weatherdependent, so no specific day has been set yet. Public relations manager Lynda Akey said the open house also was an opportunity for past, current and new members to come and meet the new owner and the pro, Camden Lawrence.

The club offers private, semiprivate, playing and junior lessons, plus clinics for beginners and advanced golfers, as well as junior golfers. A junior camp is planned for August.

‘Stephen Colbert you have my logo’ video launched by Ken Tizzard By Sue Dickens Campbellford – A logo spray-painted on a sheet in 2011 by well-known musician Ken Tizzard, has been spotted altered and adopted for use by Stephen Colbert, host of The Late Show … at least that is the focus of a fun video making the rounds on social media. The spur-of-the-moment video with the title “Stephen Colbert you have my logo” was put together by Tizzard and launched on YouTube with lyrics that ask: “What is that behind you, my logo staring back at me. It doesn’t seem so strange, it’s a damn fine logo.” He and his band Bad Intent are featured in the logo with the initials K/T-B/I which Colbert apparently has used with the initials L/S-S/C. After seeing the logo for himself on the show, he suddenly found himself writing lyrics and composing a tune. “It happened so fast. I scratched down a few words and picked up my camera, edited it and threw it up [on YouTube],” he said. “I think it’s a great logo Stephen, I
am glad you are using it,” he sings. “I’d never hire a lawyer, it’s not the Canadian way, if you give me the chance to stand upon your stage, we could both go home, we could all get paid,” he continues with a video he said is getting much more play than he anticipated. Tizzard’s video is making the rounds on Facebook and YouTube and at the time of this interview, Monday at noon, he had 1,200 views. “I did sell a lot of shirts and hats with that logo. It’s pretty much eyecatching,” he said with a grin. In an email blast sent out by Tizzard Monday morning encouraging his fans to send it on to Colbert, he told his fans: “As a folk singer from Canada, getting exposure on such a show is near impossible. Who knows? Stranger things have happened.” He added, “I would be terrified to meet Stephen, the smartest man on the planet. A guy like that could put me in my place really quick.” A video put together on the spur of the moment by well-known musician Ken Tizzard of Campbellford, is making the rounds on social media as To watch Tizzard’s video go to he sings about a logo on Stephen Colbert’s Late Show which resembles that of Tizzard’s and his band Bad Intent. The YouTube video is making the his web site or go to: https://youtu. rounds on Facebook and twitter too. Photo by Ritche Perez be/9cDHtA-Ogx4.

HBM gets much-needed connecting link money By Bill Freeman Havelock – Havelock-BelmontMethuen is getting a $367,271 boost from the provincial government for work on a portion of the 1.9 km. Highway 7 connecting link that runs through the village. The township will contribute $40,808 toward much-needed work on a 325 metre stretch of the heavilytravelled road. HBM is one of 77 municipalities in Ontario with connecting link agreements with Queen’s Park and has lobbied hard to get the provincial government to re-establish a pro-
gram to provide dedicated funds for work on infrastructure that are usually part of provincial road networks. In November the province introduced a new connecting links program that will provide $15 million a year to municipalities for things like bridge replacements, pavement rehabilitation and storm sewer upgrades. The province will cover 90 per cent of the costs up to a maximum of $3 million for the design, construction, renewal and replacement of connecting link infrastructure. It’s welcome news for HBM council which has criticized the province in the past for forcing municipalities to take dollars away from other com-
munity initiatives and apply them to upgrade projects on road infrastructure that once belonged to the province before they were shifted to municipalities through connecting link agreements. In some cases that meant applying for infrastructure funds intended for other municipal projects and using the money to address connecting link concerns. “HBM is extremely pleased to receive the funding,” Mayor Ron Gerow said during Friday’s announcement by Peterborough MPP and Minister of Agriculture and Food Jeff
Leal. Director of Public Works Brian McMillan says the road surface is substandard and “showing signs of significant deterioration” that requires rehabilitation. “The degraded surface makes it difficult to operate vehicles at posted speed limits and is difficult to maintain in the winter,” McMillan says. The project will include removing and replacing the asphalt pavement, the concrete curb and gutter, a limited number of underground township
services and safety railings. They’ll also make improvements to the south side parking lot in order to make it safer to enter and exit. After thee repairs are done they’ll do a “micro resurfacing” of the entire 1.9 km “link.” “This funding will allow the Township to make the necessary surface repairs and upgrades to keep all travellers on Ottawa Street on the Township’s connecting link on Highway 7, within the Village of Havelock safe,” said Gerow.

Persons and Property Committee, Economic Development Officer Cassandra Boniface said there has been a lot of interest from vendors for this year’s show as a result of the success of the first one held last year. “We sold out so much faster for the Home Show than we did last year,” Boniface said, noting that, as of March 22, there was only
one spot left to fill. “We still have maintained it as a local show,” she said. The show will be held at the Stirling Arena, 435 West Front St. in Stirling, and will be open from 6 to 9 p.m. on Friday, April 15 and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 16. This is the same weekend as the Belleville Home Show, so organizers are hoping many people will take in both events.

Not the way they smoke cheese at Maple Dale
By Stephen Petrick
Thurlow – Smoked cheddar is one of the popular varieties of cheese at a Thurlow cheese factory, but Monday’s fire there was not in the process. Firefighters are investigating a blaze that caused significant damage to the Maple Dale Cheese factory early on the morning of Monday, April 11. Belleville fire was called to the popular business located on Highway 37, south of Zion Road, at about 7:30 a.m. The fire started in a utility room, but was put out quickly, said Lt. Scott Reid, of Belleville fire. Tankers from Tyendinaga Township and the Mohawk fire department came to support the job. “We had a quick knock-down on it,” Reid said, standing in the pouring rain at about 10 a.m. that morning as firefighters were packing up to leave the scene. “We were able to extinguish the flames pretty quickly.” No one was injured in the blaze and by mid morning employees were back inside the building in the front commercial area. Firefighters climbed the roof on a back portion of the building, near the production area, to put out the fire. They also ventilated the roof area and opened doors throughout the factory to let smoke out. Reid said it appeared as though the damage was limited to the roof and the utility room. Firefighters work on the roof of the Maple Dale Cheese factory on Highway 37 Monday morning. An early-morning blaze caused damage, but was put out quickly. Photo by Stephen Petrick

Walkathon a ‘dress rehearsal’ for march at Vimy Ridge anniversary in 2017 By John Campbell Campbellford – A small group of students and teachers held a walkathon April 7, as a “dress rehearsal” for the march they will join in France next year as part of the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge in the First World War. The “symbolic” 3.6 kilometre walk from Campbellford District High School to the Memorial Military Museum on Albert Street, and then back to the Cenotaph, ending at the Campbellford Legion, represented the 3,600
or so Canadians who were killed in three days of combat, said Jacqui Fuger, a CDHS faculty member and one of three local group leaders involved in the trip. The visit to the Legion included lunch and a short talk about artifacts displayed in the Vimy Room. CDHS students began raising money last June, and more fundraisers are planned in the near future, including dinner and a performance of “Big Bad” May 19. It’s a play about the Big Bad Wolf on trial.
Quinte Region Campbellford District High School student Elisabeth Hagerman carried the Canadian flag for part of the walkathon that made its way through Campbellford April 7. The event was both symbolic and a fundraiser for the students’ trip to France next year for the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge.

Crunch time in Havelock By Bill Freeman Havelock – It’s never too late to get in on the Great Big Crunch. The distinctive sound of crunching apples and carrots filled the Havelock Belmont Public School gym Tuesday as students and staff celebrated the goodness of healthy eating and Ontario-grown produce during their annual Great Big Crunch chomp down. The event capped off Nutrition Month and was a timely reminder of the healthy eating choices provided through the school’s Breakfast Program, which is part of the wider Food For Kids Peterborough Student Nutrition Program. “The whole crunch thing just encourages them to think about healthy choices,” said Miz Watson, long-time volunteer co-ordinator of the HBPS Breakfast Program. “There are people who don’t eat healthy and this shows them how they can, and it promotes Ontario produce
which is another big thing,” Watson said. “Kids enjoy it, and they enjoy getting together.” “We know we need to eat healthy foods, because healthy foods feed our brain,” teacher Jonathan Swift added. “This is all about healthy eating and healthy food.” Started by FoodShare Toronto in 2006, the Great Big Crunch is a “moment of anti-silence” that’s generated over 900,000 crunches since 2006. “Last year you could really hear it (in the gym),” said Watson. “They’ll talk about this now.” Watson admits that “one of the issues” that prevents people from making healthier food choices is the cost of fresh fruits and vegetables. There are children at the school who don’t eat apples and carrots at home often enough because their families can’t afford them, she says, which is why breakfast programs like the one at HBPS play such a valuable role.
There are also people who can afford to buy apples yet don’t, Watson said, because they didn’t eat them at home when they were growing up. Last year 1,200 school Breakfast Program volunteers in Peterborough city and county served nearly 2.5 million breakfasts and snacks. Participating schools in the county and city receive biweekly deliveries of Ontario apples, cucumbers, carrots and cheese because of donations and grants given to Food For Kids. “Local food is so important to our programs,” says Angela Fuchs of
Food For Kids Peterborough. “It‘s good for our families and our farmers, uses less fuel to get to us and tastes great.” The Great Big Crunch is “another
way to teach students, that local food benefits everyone,” Fuchs said. Apples for the HBPS Great Big Crunch were donated by R. J. Produce in Peterborough.

A harrowing save from ice cold waters By Brett Mann Tweed – A thirteen-year old Tweed youth had a close call last weekend when his kayak overturned on the fast moving Moira River south of Tweed near Bethel Road. The youth managed to grab on to
a tree branch and hold on in the ice cold waters while his brother sought help which came quickly in the form of officers from the OPP Central Hastings Detachment. An officer entered the river and was able to reach the young man and the two were picked up by a rescue boat provided by the Tweed Fire Depart-
ment. A nearby resident, Loretta Leger was amazed at the speed and scale of the emergency response. “I saw a ton of emergency vehicles. There were three OPP cars, three ambulances and two fire trucks plus paramedics in a big van. They had to finally bring in a four-wheeler and a stretcher,” said Leger. Rescuers ac-
cessed the location on the Moira River near Bethel Road and south of the Carr’s Road bridge by crossing some farmland to the west of her home, she said. Constable Lonne Foeller, of the Madoc-based OPP detachment, shared a media release prepared by OPP Media Services Officer Alana Deubel by telephone. “On April 9 just before 3 p.m. the Central Hastings Detachment responded to a 13 year-old youth in distress who fell in the frigid river while kayaking. The youth was wearing a life-jacket and was able to hang on while his brother called for help. The Tweed Fire Department accessed a small vessel and
assisted the youth and the officer back to shore. The youth was transported to hospital with minor injuries.” This was the first serious water rescue event of the year for the Central Hastings Detachment, said Foeller, although “There have been some in Peterborough.” OPP are cautioning the public to exercise care around fast moving spring run-off waters and to particularly keep children away from the banks of rivers and streams. They caution that currents are strong and the water is very cold. Boaters are reminded to make sure they have all the appropriate safety equipment on board before heading out on the water.

Coloured Aggregates asks Marmora council for road improvements By Margriet Kitchen Marmora – A presentation to council by Jeff Oravecz, of Coloured Aggregates, an ore crushing company with a plant just outside of Marmora, explained the importance of the company to the local economy. Along with that role in the community comes a hope, said Oavecz, of working out an agreement to improve access to the company’s plant. Currently, there are six employees, with an expected expansion of staff over the next few years, he said. Oravecz highlighted the need for improvements to the Marmora Mine Road from Highway 7 into the company site, since that road has become very worn with no improvements made over several decades.
K
There are approximately 25 transport runs on that stretch daily, as well as tourist vehicles to the mine lookout site. It was requested that upgrading, resurfacing and other improvements be planned. The company is in a position to assist with the effort with an offer of their equipment as needed, said Oavecz. Council felt that this is a reasonable request, with the roads department to develop plans for the requirements and will present council with a report on the matter at a future meeting, it was decided. In other council business, the floor was opened to public input to discuss the 2016 municipal budget. There was discussion and clarification by council on a number of issues, including sewer and water, phone and pagers, among a number of other cost
and now the Havelock Lions. “We hope that every club in Ontario does this,” said Radnor. He expects it will be a “major topic” at upcoming Lions conventions. “When time is saved, lives are saved,” Radnor adds. Peterborough County Paramedics are aware of the program and will know what the “Emergency Lions” green cross means when they enter a residence. “The biggest problem we’re going to have is having everyone make sure their information is current,” says Radnor. “It’s a good program,” Havelock Guardian pharmacist and manager Jennilee McConnell-Sedore said. “If there’s an emergency it’s a good idea to have all that information in one place, accessible for whoever is arriving at your home. Most people don’t have a list of medications readily available or record of what their medical conditions are. It makes it much easier for whoever is looking after you.

concerns. Mayor Clemens thanked the public for their input, saying that, “Marmora & Lake residents enjoy the lowest municipal tax rates in Hastings County.” To view more information on the proposed 2016 budget, see www.marmoraandlake.ca. Council is considering the proposed sale of 3.5 acres in the Marmora Industrial Park.

Havelock – The Havelock Lions Club say its Message in a Bottle program can save lives. The club launched the program at Havelock Guardian Pharmacy where people are free to take the marked, but empty medication bottles containing special forms for individuals to list vital medical information like prescription details and contact information. The bottles will also be available at the Havelock Medical Centre and Community Care. “It’s a giveaway,” says Lions president Don Radnor. “Hopefully nobody has to see it. If everything goes well in your life no one will have to see it, [but] we’re a long way from first responders, so if minutes can be saved in your house, it may save your life.” The Message in a Bottle program started in the United Kingdom through Lions Clubs British Isles and Ireland and was an immediate success with over five million bottles distributed. The key is placing the bottle containing the pertinent information in a common location like the refrigerator with green cross stickers on the front door and the refrigerator to alert first responders. The Napanee Lions were the first in the area to launch the program followed by the Peterborough Lions

If you must buy in bulk, invest in a food vacuum sealer or freezer storage bags. Immediately separate meats and poultry into smaller portions before storing them in the freezer. Otherwise, look for bulk items that are individually wrapped to maintain freshness. Many canned and jarred items can be covered and stored in the refrigerator after containers are opened. • Plan meals with similar ingredients. To reduce

The fewer ingredients you have to buy, the smaller the risk of spoilage. • Cut recipes in half. Recipes can be cut down depending on how many mouths need to be fed. When baking, cutting back on proportions of ingredients can be challenging. Search online for recipe-scaling programs that can make the work easier. • Cook on the weekend.

Seniors face many changes as they move into their golden years. Downsizing living spaces and vehicles is common, as is implementing certain changes to improve quality of life. Many seniors also scale back in the kitchen, where some must make changes because of medical conditions. While it seems like reducing food portions would be easy, those used to prepping meals for a large family may find it difficult. The following tips can make meal preparation efficient and cost-effective. • Divide and store. Supermarkets are increasingly offering larger packages of food products as well as

Students help community with second annual Clothing Exchange By Terry McNamee Stirling—The motto of the local elementary school is “Stirling Public School Makes a Difference” and that is exactly what the school’s Grade 6 class has been doing. On Thursday, April 7, the students held a Clothing Exchange in the school gymnasium. In the weeks prior to the event, people brought in clothing (mostly children’s) that they no
longer needed or that their children had outgrown. The students in the class sorted the clothing by size, and the day of the event they laid it all out on tables with signs overhead indicating the sizes. People from the community who needed clothing could then come in and take what they needed for free. “It’s student-run,” explained grade six teacher Lindsay Langlois. “It started last year as a class project. This year, we extended it to the community.” Before the event,
the students made posters and videos to publicize the exchange. They also worked in shifts during the event, with some help from other classes. That help was needed, as people started coming in half an hour before the scheduled start time of 4 p.m., and the gym remained crowded for much of the evening. “We’re studying the community of Stirling as a class, and (looking at) how we can make a difference. This is one way we can make a difference,” Langlois said.

Havelock Heat will host another British soccer camp
By Bill Freeman Havelock – Freezing rain and wind chill aside, the Havelock Heat are looking ahead to another scorching season, and that includes a return in August of the four-day British soccer camp which club president Bev Flagler says was a great success last summer. The Heat has begun to register youngsters for the summer season, holding one sign-up night with another this week and room for late registrations too. The Challenger Sports British Soc-
cer Camp Aug. 2-5 is a separate offering open to anyone aged four to 18; participants don’t need to be a member of a Havelock Heat team to participate. “All the kids who signed up had a lot of fun,” Flagler said. “I was very pleased with it to the point of we’re going to try it again this year. I’m hoping more parents come out because it was a very good program.” The camp offers mini soccer for kids four to six; half days for youngsters six to 16 and full-day camps for players seven to 18. Kids who sign up online
by June 17 get a free soccer jersey. All participants get a free ball, tee-shirt and evaluation. “It did make a difference within the first game that they played,” she said of some of the Heat’s older players. “They could see where they had actually picked up that skill.” Skill level is not an issue, says Flagler, with beginners and advanced players coming away with improved skills and interest in the game. “They [the instructors] adapt it to that. There’s always something to learn,” she
said. “They make soccer fun with the games and do all kinds of activities with them, but they’re actually drills and the kids don’t realize that’s what they’re doing. It improves the skills, and these guys made it fun, and it wasn’t drill, drill, drill. It was exciting for them.” It was a program she wished was available when her children were playing. “They definitely would have benefitted.” Flagler expects the Heat to field strong numbers again this season. The last few

years they’ve averaged between 180 and 200 youth and last summer watched the Timbits development program climb to 67. She’s particularly pleased with the Timbits program, which is run by Heat graduate and U-8 coach Jenna Baptie and a group of U-16 players. “I think it’s awesome.” For more information on the soccer camp visit www.challengersports.com.

Why Should I Have My
Wisdom teeth, so-called because they are the last teeth to emerge after childhood, usually erupt from ages 16 to 18, when people are considered “wiser” or more mature. Located at the back of the jaw, wisdom teeth are also referred to as the “third molars”. It is often advised that wisdom teeth are removed. Impacted or sideways wisdom teeth can be painful and cause infection as they try to erupt into the mouth. Cysts can sometimes form around impacted wisdom teeth, putting bone and the jaw at risk. Wisdom teeth may also only partially erupt, irritating gums and making proper cleaning difficult.

Quinte Red Devils star Nathan Dunkley drafted by Kingston Frontenacs
By Stephen Petrick Belleville – In a Belleville Bullsless OHL, maybe the best team for a local boy to go to is the Kingston Frontenacs. Quinte Red Devils product Nathan Dunkley was drafted by the Frontenacs in the first round (17th overall) of the Ontario Hockey League’s Priority Selection draft on the weekend. That makes him the highest drafted player among five Red Devils who were selected on the weekend. Dunkley, a member of the Red Devils minor midget team over the past year, has been catching the attention of scouts for some time. A bio of him, posted by the Ontario
Minor Hockey Association, says he is the “prototypical ‘new forward’ in hockey.’” “Cut from the mold of such NHL players as Sidney Crosby and Steven Stamkos, Dunkley is not overly tall at five-foot-10, but he is strong and thick with a low centre of gravity. He protects the puck well and is hard to knock off the puck.” Dunkley expressed excitement about being picked up by the team in Belleville’s neighboring city. “Just a really cool feeling and Kingston was definitely one of the top teams I wanted to go to, with them being pretty close to home,” he said. “I have a really good buddy on the team and I am just excited to be a part of a really great organization.” The Frontenacs, who play out of
Kingston’s relatively new K-Rock in the seventh round, 136th overall, out the list, as he was selected in the Centre, are finally looking like by the IceDogs. 15th round, 300th overall, by the a contending team after years of Goaltender Evan Morrison rounds Flint Firebirds. mediocrity. The Fronts were the top team in the Eastern Conference at the end of the regular season and just recently won the franchise’s first playoff series in more than 20-years, when they beat the Oshawa Generals in a first-round playoff series. (However, as of press time they were at risk of being eliminated by the Niagara IceDogs in a secondround playoff series). Dunkley had 24 goals and 23 assists in just 34 games for the Red Devils in 2016-17. The centerman shoots left and is listed at 182 pounds. The next Red Devil to be selected was right-winger Dawson Baker. He went in the fourth round, 63rd overall, to the Sudbury Wolves. The Red Devils’ Matt Sherwin, another right winger, then heard his named called in the seventh round, 131st overall, by the Owen Sound Attack. Defenceman Joe Roy was selected Nathan Dunkley is a new member of the Kingston Frontenacs. Submitted photo

Bond night was glitz, glam and cash for Hospice Quinte By Terry McNamee Quinte West—The elegant world of Agent 007 was brought to life as Hospice Quinte held its annual fundraising gala at the National Air Force Museum of Canada in Trenton on Saturday, April 9.
Titled The 007 Gala, the event focused on the world of James Bond, with most of the attendees glammed out in their finest formal wear for the dinner and entertainment. Money totals won’t be in until the end of the week, but the event was hugely successful, said Maria Menjivar, Community and Public Rela-
tions assistant for Hospice Quinte. She said that about 275 people attended this year. “Last year, it was about 180, so it was a significant increase,” Menjivar said. “We had 50 silent auction items and 60 donations in all.” Entertainment included a fashion show by Belleville’s Studio 237, organized by owner Darek
Wierzbicki, an internationally known hair stylist. All models were local, and included Belleville Mayor Taso Christopher and local Member of Parliament Neil Ellis and MPP Todd Smith. Menjivar said the community support for the event was amazing, the venue was great and the evening was “really, really fun.”
The atmosphere was elegant on Saturday, April 9, at the National Air Force Museum of Canada during the Hospice Quinte 007 Treena Chicoyne and Dean Lindsay, both of Belleville, were among those checking out the Silent Auction during the Hospice Gala. About 275 people attended this year’s fundraiser. Photo by Terry McNamee Quinte 007 Gala held Saturday, April 9, at the National Air Force Museum of Canada. Photo by Terry McNamee

BTG play warm, humorous, poignant By Jack Evans Michel Tremblay’s play, “For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again,” is an unabashed tribute and memorial to his mother, who died from cancer while he was still a young man. While he had two other brothers, the relationship between Tremblay and his mother was special. It is clear that she had a lot to do with his becoming a creative, successful playwright, introducing him to French literature and discussing it with him almost endlessly and arousing his imagination with creative exaggerations of ordinary life. The burden in this show is on Alexandra Bell as Nana, the mother, who spends most of her time in the simple kitchen set between the washing machine and the stove as she spins her ramblings ranging from affection to nagging
her son, the narrator, played by Andy Seguire. Much of her dialogue is downright funny, especially when she talks of her brother-inlaw and his wife. Seguire’s main challenge is to represent a time span in years, from a 10 year old boy to a grown young man. Not all of her ramblings are imaginative. Some are clever. As she sets up her son for her death, he speculates that there won’t be so much housework for him and the rest of the family to cope with. “Housework is forever,” she proclaims. She describes the cancer within her as a ball of pain in the same place she remembers carrying her children, only instead of life, she is carrying her own death. To ease his mother into her next life, the son, recognizing her love of theatre, stages a theatrical scene featuring her home landscape of Sas-
katchewan. It is truly a tear-evoking ending. Heather Barker, the director, comments in her notes: “I saw this play for the first time 15 years ago. I thought it one of the most relatable, witty and moving productions I had seen. This play brings to life those simple conversations you share with those you love. It reminds us how funny and tragic everyday moments can be. “ The program also pays special tribute to Phil Bowerman whose efforts to obtain rights for the script involved some five years. One weakness for local audiences is Tremblay’s Montreal-based references to stage and television stars who are unknown in this part of Canada, but one’s imagination can fill in the blanks. “For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again” continues through April 23. For tickets or information, call the box office, (613) 967-1442.

The clock has “ticked” down — it’s tick season again By Terry McNamee Belleville—If you go out in the woods today, you’re in for a big surprise. Actually, a little surprise, but it has a big impact. Black-legged ticks are now so numerous in Prince Edward and Hastings Counties that Public Health Inspector Aptie Sookoo is warning people to get tested for Lyme disease if they find an engorged tick that has been attached to them for 36 hours. Speaking at the Wednesday, April 6, meeting of the Hastings Prince Edward Public Health Board, Sookoo said that so many of the ticks that were being collected in Prince Edward County have tested positive for Lyme Disease that there is no point in continuing the tick-testing program there. He said the number of ticks hasn’t changed much since 2013, but the number of ticks that tested positive for Lyme “has gone up and up.” Medical Officer of Health Dr. Rich-

ard Schabas said that health inspectors have been recording the infection rate in ticks in Prince Edward County for 15 years, and that the rate has been climbing steadily. “The increase in the numbers is a very real phenomenon that we can expect to continue,” Schabas said. He noted that the ticks, which are actually carried by deer mice (whitefooted mice), are found in leaf litter. But if your dog comes home with ticks, they are unlikely to move off the dogs and onto humans. He said people pick up ticks the same way the dogs do, by walking through an area infested by ticks. “They (ticks) really can’t survive more than a day in a house because of the (lack of) humidity,” Sookoo said. “They need almost 100 per cent humidity.” He added that 20 per cent of collected ticks in Prince Edward County are now testing positive for Lyme disease. And that, said Schabas, is a critical level in
terms of human health. Once that 20 per cent threshold is reached, then it is medically important to automatically treat people for Lyme disease if they report an attached tick. If you find a tick quickly and remove it, there is no danger of contracting Lyme, because the tick needs about 36 hours in order to transfer the disease. But if the tick remains attached for that long, medical attention should be sought, he said. So what can peo- Black-legged ticks are now so numerous in Prince Edward and Hastings Counties that Public Health Inspector Aptie Sookoo is ple do? warning people to get tested for Lyme disease if they find an engorged tick that has been attached to themselves for 36 hours. “There are lots of He spoke about the issue during the Wednesday, April 6, meeting of the Hastings Prince Edward Public Health Board in Belthings you can do leville.

Home Builders’ cooking up new edition of Quinte Home & Leisure Show By Stephen Petrick Belleville – There’s no place like the home show – the Quinte Home Builders’ Association’s Home & Leisure Show that is. Organizers are getting ready for the 45th edition of the popular event, Friday, April 15 to Sunday April 17 at the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre. The event usually brings in more than 5,000 people to see products and services showcased at booths that cover two full hockey arenas in the sports centre. The businesses on hand are all connected to the home and lifestyle industry. The event features dozens of trade-related businesses, but it also has realtors, financial advisors and home decorators – really any kind of business of interest to a person buying, selling or hoping to improve a home. “It’s always a great show,” said Brian Garrard, a member of the show’s committee. “It gives people an idea that spring is here.” This year’s event will have a few interesting new demonstrations. Well-known television chef Devan Rajkumar, famous for appearances on Cityline, will be on hand to do cooking demonstrations. Other keynotes at the event include lifestyles expert Karl Lohnes and Francena Swales, an architectural sales expert from Benjamin & Moore. Sunday is being billed as a family day, as children’s entertainment will be featured. Kids will have opportunities to build birdhouses and hear music from Andy Forgie. The event runs from 12 noon to 9 p.m. on Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.
Members of the Quinte Home & Leisure Show committee gathered at Freeman’s Winemaking Shop on April 6 to meet with Chef Devan Rajkumar (third from left). Members of the committee (from left) include Laurence Hartwig, Cindy Dow, Ruth Estwick, Andrew Letersky and Brian Garrard. Photo by Stephen Petrick
General admission is $8 or $7 for seniors. A weekend pass is $10. Members of the show’s committee gathered at Freeman’s Winemaking Shop in Belleville on Thursday, April 7 to meet with Chef Devan and introduce him to sponsors. The chef also spent the day meeting with representatives from local businesses that could provide him with food to make a menu with for the show. Devan said he went to Gilmour’s meat shop and was impressed with its products. He also went to Walts Sugar Shack, where he was incredibly impressed with the maple butter he tasted. He didn’t want to say exactly what he intends to make at the show, but he said the maple butter may not be used for a dessert item. “I’m thinking scallops,” he said.

McDougall Insurance named a top brokerage in Canada A Belleville insurance brokerage has just been recognized as one of the leading firms in the country. McDougall Insurance & Financial has been included in Insurance Business Canada magazine’s Top Brokerages for 2016, which showcases Canada’s highest-performing firms. To determine the best in the industry, Insurance Business Canada collected both quantitative and qualitative information from the nominees, comparing client counts, analyzing client retention rates and new business development, as well as revenue figures. To ensure a level playing field and to assess the efficiency of each brokerage business, the total number of brokers writing business in comparison to revenues and number of clients was also taken into account. “Beyond purely reviewing numbers, we assessed nominees on attributes such as innovation, client relations and strategic leadership. And to some degree, we looked at the character and culture inherent in a successful brokerage,” said Donald Horne, Associate Editor of Insurance Business Canada. The whole process narrowed down a pool of
nominees to a select group of 31 brokerages that exemplify success and a well-rounded approach needed to get ahead in today’s market. A profile of McDougall Insurance on the website for the awards commended the company for having “everything from experts in trucking fleet and tenant policy to dairy farm specialists. “While catering to traditional clients, McDougall places a heavy emphasis on progressive tech, outfitting brokers with the latest and greatest tools to allow, for instance, clients to receive a quote with a simple scan of a driver’s licence,” the profile added. It also said, “two words encompass McDougall’s core strategy: big and local. They are married to the idea that variety of product and heft in the marketplace makes for the best premiums and claims service for clients. Yet this global strategy has a local focus – all of the company’s 28 branches are located in Eastern Ontario.” McDougall Insurance, based in Century Village in downtown Belleville, is headed by former Belleville mayor Ross McDougall and Don Stanton. Its specialties are personal and commercial lines.
Walk a Mile event returns May 7 By Stephen Petrick
Belleville -- A whole lot of red high heels will once again walk through downtown Belleville this spring -- and, as usual, they’ll be taped onto the feet of men. The Walk a Mile event returns on Saturday, May 7. The event, put on by Royal LePage, is a fundraiser for Three Oaks Foundation, an organization that helps women and children fleeing abuse. Every year, the event makes for great photos, videos and lots of laughs, as men walk a roughly milelong route in bright red, high heel shoes. The event was promoted at Belleville city council on
Monday, April 11, where a hilarious video was shown of several community leaders, walking and dancing in high heel shoes. In several clips, the participants said, “I’m man enough. Are you?” The event starts and ends in Empire Square, the parking lot next to the Empire Theatre. The event gets underway at 7 a.m., when a fundraising garage sale begins. At 10 a.m. activities ramp up as participants can begin registering and trying on shoes. At that time, the Kids Zone and barbecue will open. At 11 a.m. there will be a high heel limbo contest. The opening ceremonies start at 11:30 a.m. and the walk be-
gins at 12 noon. With many councillors and audience members still chuckling from the video, Three Oaks Foundation executive director Sandy Watson-Moyles reminded everyone that the funds raised through the event support a serious issue, of violence against women. This year’s event has a fundraising goal of $30,000, she said, and she encouraged Mayor Taso Christopher -- one of the men shown in the video wearing shoes -- to encourage leaders from neighbouring municipalities to come out and support the event.

Volunteers vital for Quinte Health Care By Jack Evans For Quinte Health Care officials, there are volunteers, and then there are hospital volunteers. A statement issued by Catherine Walker on behalf of QHC reflects on this in connection with National Volunteer week, April 10-16. Volunteers for all four hospitals in the complex are not just volunteers, but quite literally “partners in care,” she said, noting volunteer involvement in activities such as oncology, dialysis, breast screening, day surgery, inpatient and emergency departments, plus assisting in spiritual care. To demonstrate their “significant impact,” she quotes figures from 2015 showing more than 110,000 hours of service by more than 1,200 volunteers, adding: “the human impact simply cannot be measured.”
Apart from those serving in many roles throughout the hospitals, volunteers for the four respective hospital foundations also operate revenue-generating businesses and hugely successful fund raising projects to help pay for necessary new equipment, patient support and staff education. Volunteers also support wayfinding and information for patients and visitors. Then there is a board “advisory council” whose members help govern and advise the board; spiritual care representatives provide much-needed support for patients and visitors. Volunteers also contribute to the operation of the BGH Museum, archives and entertainment. Walker said the statement is meant to be a “message of thanks during Volunteer Week with tremendous gratitude from everyone at Quinte Health Care.”

Board staff, students, parents encouraged to take ‘climate’ survey Those involved with the Hastings & Prince Edward District School Board are being encouraged to complete a school climate survey that will help the board understand what it’s doing well and where it can make improvements. The online survey opened on April 4 and will remain live until May 5. It’s intended for students in Grade 4 to 12, parents/guardians and school staff. “At Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board, well-being and public confidence are priorities for us,” the board said in a statement. “Knowing what people think and how they feel about their/their child’s school can help it to be a better place to learn. We believe it is important for people to have a voice about schools being welcoming, inclusive, safe and accepting learning environments for everyone.” A video about the survey is available at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/user/HPE-
Schools . Links to the online survey are available from the website home page of each school. Participation is voluntary and responses are anonymous. It takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes to complete. Paper copies are also available by contacting the school office. All responses will be compiled then used by schools and the school board to help plan for school improvement. Results will be shared with school communities and also with community organizations that work with HPEDSB to support student achievement and well-being. This survey is part of a province-wide initiative by the Ministry of Education for school boards to get feedback from students, parents/guardians and school staff every two years in order to provide input on the school climate. The survey will also be shared through Twitter at @HPEschools.
Trent Hills will take part in National Canadian Film Day for the first time Campbellford – Trent Hills Public Library and Aron Theatre Co-op will celebrate National Canadian Film Day April 20 by showing two great Canadian films at the Aron for free. “Continuous Journey” will be viewed by 125 Campbellford District High School students. The 2004 documentary by Ali Kazimi tells what happened when a ship carrying 376 South Asian migrants was turned away at Vancouver at the beginning of the First World War. The screening has become a timely one, with the announcement this week that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will offer a full apology in the House of Commons May 18 for the government denying the asylum seekers entry due to immigration laws at the time. Trent Hills’ first National Canadian Film Day “is one of more than 170 screenings being held across the country in every province and territory,” said library CEO Mary Jo Mahoney in a news release. “Sharing Canadian film with our students and the public in our communityowned theatre is a way for us all to cel-
ebrate our rich and diverse heritage and what it means to be Canadian.” The second film, “Still Mine,”which is open to the public, is a celebrated Canadian film about the bond between a man and his wife entering the twilight of their lives. Geneviève Bujold portrays a woman beginning to lose her memory. She and her husband, played by Academy Award nominee James Cromwell, decide that he will build a more manageable home for their retirement. However, in a clash of traditional values and modern legislation, he soon finds himself battling local authorities over the fine print in building bylaws. “Still Mine” starts at 2 p.m. Admission is free. Tickets must be picked up in advance at one of the three library branches -- Campbellford, Hastings and Warkworth -- or at the Aron. “We are excited to partner with our public libraries to show these great Canadian films,” Aron president Mark White said. Trent Hills Library and Aron Theatre are partnering in screening two films April 20 as part of National Canadian Film Day. Image submitted

Choral Society gives audience royal treatment By Jack Evans A regal mixture of classics, folk and contemporary choral music, as well as instrumental classics comprised the program for the Belleville Choral Society’s spring concert at Belleville’s St. Michael’s Church Sunday afternoon. The program was also enriched by soloists both from the ranks of the choral society and also their guests, the Quinte Youth Chorale, led by Rudolf Heijdens, who performed most of the first half on their own. The group is soon Europe bound for another annual performance tour at several venues.. The program also showed strong international flavour with composers like Chopin, Beethoven, Richard Rogers and more. Much of it was less familiar , but still much enjoyed by a generous audience. Common hymn tunes like “Awake , My Heart,” and spirituals like “Aint that Good News,” were mixed with serene folk songs like “Early One Morning,” and “Edelweiss” from The Sound of
Music. The choir brought out their fishing rods for one number, “Crawdad Song.” Both choirs joined forces at the close for a stirring rendition from Beethoven’s “Mount of Olives” cantata, “Hallelujah Chorus,” not to be confused with the famous Handel chorus of the same name from “The Messiah.” A particularly pleasant interlude was an instrumental piece by Robert Schumann, “Three Romances,” played by flautist Alexanadra Danahy with piano accompaniment. Having taken over as conductor of the choral society four years ago. Mirijam Spoelstra , continues to meet her goal of an improved performance sound with a “firm but gentle” touch. The choral society will be looking for potential new members when it commences rehearsals on Monday evenings in September. Proceeds from the concert will help support the choir’s outreach, including $1,000 scholarships for youth going into post-secondary music studies and $100 prizes for choirs in local music festivals.
Fishing rods are visible as the Belleville Choral Society sings a comic folk song called the “Crawdad Song” directed by Mirijam Spoelsltra. Photo by Jack Evans

BRACKEN, Ken April 10, 2016 in his 65th year, Kenneth Bracken passed away surrounded by family, in the home he built, in the bed he shared with his wife; as was his wish. Beloved son of Henry and Edna Bracken, Loving Husband of Linda, Father of Kenny Bracken (Amanda), Troy Williamson (Kerry), Christine Cuddy (Matthew), Christine/ Kissy Spencer (Eric). Dear Brother of George (Audrey), Gerald, Bruce, Ron (Larry), Earl (Diana), Harry (Sheryl), Debbie (Steph), Doris (Joe), pre-deceased by sisters Doreen and Lorraine. Lovingly remembered by 14 grandchildren, one GreatGrandchild and many nieces and nephews. Ken lived a full life dedicated to the love of his life Linda and the children they shared. He loved fishing, camping, hunting and all things outdoors. He worked his whole life primarily in the driving industry; he ended his career with a great team at the Municipality of Trent Hills as Winter Night Patrol. Ken ran his own plastic welding business, Bracken’s Plastic Welding, in which he had the pleasure of fixing many items for some great people; he loved to visit with the multiple regulars that came by his garage. It gave him great joy to see his grandchildren grow up, with visits on a daily basis. He had a special connection with each of them, all of which they will cherish and remember all the years of their life. Ken and his siblings have remained close, he valued each of them for who they are; there was much laughter when they were together as his kids tried to get all the news on him as a boy. Ken had a dream, a dream to build his wife a log home; this dream came true 10 years ago. He always lived for the day, and never regretted anything. He is a true inspiration and he will be missed greatly.

I haven’t come to terms with why he had to suffer at all. Please don’t tell me you know how I feel, You don’t know how I feel Please don’t ask me if I feel better, Bereavement isn’t a condition that clears up. Please don’t tell me at least you had him for so many years, What year would you choose for your brother to die? Please don’t tell me that God never gives more than one can bear. Please just say sorry. Please just say that you remember my brother, If you do. Please mention my brother’s name, Please… just let me cry. Always remembered Love Missy, Sherri and Kim Not a day goes by that we don’t think of you, and wish so badly you were back here with us. We Love you Chris.

Where is tea grown commercially in Europe?
By John M. Smith
Portugal’s Sao Miguel Island is apparently the only place in Europe where tea is commercially grown. It’s the largest of the nine volcanic islands west of Portugal’s mainland
that make up what’s known as the Azores, an area that some researchers have claimed to have once been part of the Lost Continent of Atlantis. Be that as it may, its fertile volcanic soil, located far away from any industrial pollution, has been a great place to grow
The Cha Gorreana Tea Plantation is located on Portugal’s Sao Miguel Island.

Section B - Thursday, April 14, 2016
pesticide and herbicide-free tea for well over a hundred years, and its Gorreana Tea Plantation has been family owned and operated there since 1883. On my visit to the Azores, I visited Cha Gorreana, the tea plantation, and I discovered that much of the old equipment is still being used in the 19th century processing plant. The machinery may be ancient by our standards, but it still works, so the tradition continues. It’s rather interesting to simply wander about and see the equipment in action. There’s also a short and very informative film (about 5 minutes in length) that’s in English and describes the tea-making process, including the picking and harvesting, so I found that to be a very worthwhile introduction. After watching the process, via the film and the antique machinery in action, I next found myself in its gift shop and tea tasting area. I was able to taste some of the teas processed right there, including its orange pekoe tea, green tea, and black tea, and I, of course, could then decide to purchase some of the product to bring home with me. I also discovered ice cream for sale there, made with the fresh fruits of the Azores, so this was yet another tasty highlight. Directly outside of this factory were several acres of well manicured tea bushes, in
neat rows, and I found it very worthwhile to take a walk among these. In fact, I followed a well marked footpath that led me through the tea plantation, past a grouping of agricultural buildings, some cattle, pastureland, and a wooded area (primarily of Japanese red cedar). I then ascended a hydrangea-covered hill, where I was offered some exquisite views of the coastline and ocean. I eventually returned, via the circular route, to the factory itself. However, if you decide to do this entire trail, expect it to take you a couple of hours, for it’s about 6 km. in length. It’s best to visit Cha Gorreana between April and September, when the tea is being picked and processed, for the factory is then in ‘full swing’. I learned that both the black and green teas are made from the same tea leaf; however, it’s how the tea is processed that creates the difference, for the green tea does not pass through oxidation, and the black tea does. It’s believed that tea was first discovered in China about 5,000 years ago. Later on, as European explorers began to check out the Orient in more depth, information about this ‘magical drink’, tea, began to filter back to Europe, and the first European to write firsthand about tea was thought to be the Portuguese Jesuit Father Jasper de Cruz. However, it wasn’t until sea trade routes to the Far East became well established that tea gained a real presence in Europe. It’s believed that when Catherine Braganza of Portugal married King Charles II in 1662, she first brought tea to the royal court of England. Therefore, it was a Portuguese Queen who started the tea tradition in England! However, it was very expensive in those early days, making it available only to the very rich. It was much later that it was learned that tea could be successfully grown This antique dryer is still in use at Portugal’s Cha Gorreana Tea Plantation. and, indeed, flourish on Sao Miguel in the Azores, so two tea experts then came from Macau to introduce the art of commercial tea cultivation there. Shortly after that, Cha Gorreana opened on Sao Miguel, COACH & TOURS and the rest, as they say, is history.

Big spruce gone, now what? By Dan Clost A few months ago, after a bit of plaster fell from the ceiling, a bit of paint flaked off the door trim, and a section of wall paper liberated itself from the wall, my wife and I thought it might be time to downsize. To that end, we took a leisurely drive to check out bungalows. Why bungalows? My little writer’s garret is tucked away on the third floor, more than 30 stairs. My knees don’t like stairs so much anymore. It was surprising how many bungalows need serious landscape rejuvenation. We’ve all seen it, Gentle Reader, a trim bungalow surrounded by its original foundation plantings. A few pfitzer junipers, maybe a yew, a purple flowering lilac balanced by a honeysuckle with all being anchored a few Colorado Blue or even Red spruces. The bungalow was built in the 50’s (bit of clue given with the plant list) and those shrubs and trees were planted at the same time. Now the house is dwarfed by the massive trees towering over them, the front yard is completely shaded, and the shingles are thick with moss. This part is any easy fix- cut down the trees. You will need to hire someone; but, I can’t stress this enough, require them to
show proof of insurance and WSIB coverage. But now you have a straggly lawn and two massive bare spots needing a bit of attention. Over the years, these huge trees have been creating a soil environment to their liking which includes a soil pH in the acid range. By the way, here’s a quick and easy way to check whether or not you have acidic or alkaline soil. In a handful of moist soil, sprinkle some baking soda and mix it in. if it makes a froth- you have acidic soil. If nothing happens, pour a bit of vinegar on the other sample; if it starts fizzing, you have alkaline. If nothing much happens, then you have a neutral soil. (Thanks to Leineriza Villanueva for this easy tip.) You have two choices. You could head out to all the sugar shacks and purchase their wood ashes. Be warned, they’ll see you coming so you’ll have to be a tough negotiator. Or you could simply select new plants that are already suited for an acidic environment. Here is some good news- we have a much larger selection of plants from which to choose than the original landscapers of our bungalow. In fact, if you wanted to recreate the original planting but not be faced with the same problem down the road, there are many dwarf varieties of, well, just about any plant on the market. You might try a Baby Blue® Spruce which tops out at 30’ with a 15’ width (10m x
4,5m) or drop one size with its grafted cousin, Baby Blue Eyes Spruce which, usually, takes up about ¾ the space. The differences are determined by the vigour of the root stock, usually Norway spruce. With these smaller trees, there will be a bit of empty space to get filled. Flowering dogwood, especially the Cornus kousa collection with its Milky Way, Constellation and Stellar Pink varieties will add some colour and a bit of height. The following shrubs come to mind: rhododendron, chokeberry, daphne, mountain laurel, nannyberry, and blueberry (absolutely, GR, you can keep it
neat and trim, munch on a bit of fruit and enjoy spectacular fall colour.) Really, while the pH will be in the moderately acidic range, it shouldn’t be enough to exclude ornamental grasses, flower bulbs, and turf grass. It just makes sense to work with what you have- it’s so much less work. End notes: check out www.freshforall.ca to see how you can join a caring gardening community.

Not the way they smoke cheese at Maple Dale By Stephen Petrick Thurlow – Smoked cheddar is one of the popular varieties of cheese at a Thurlow cheese factory, but Monday’s fire there was not in the process. Firefighters are investigating a blaze that caused significant damage to the Maple Dale Cheese factory early on the morning of Monday, April 11. Belleville fire was called to the popular business located on Highway 37, south of Zion Road, at about 7:30 a.m. The fire started in a utility room, but was put out quickly, said Lt. Scott Reid, of Belleville fire. Tankers from Tyendinaga Township and the Mo-
hawk fire department came to support the job. “We had a quick knock-down on it,” Reid said, standing in the pouring rain at about 10 a.m. that morning as firefighters were packing up to leave the scene. “We were able to extinguish the flames pretty quickly.” No one was injured in the blaze and by mid morning employees were back inside the building in the front commercial area. Firefighters climbed the roof on a back portion of the building, near the production area, to put out the fire. They also ventilated the roof area and opened doors throughout the factory to let smoke out. Reid said it appeared as though the damage was limited to the roof and the utility room.
