Fire consumes barn in Madoc area

By Diane Sherman

Madoc - Madoc Township firefighters, with assistance from the Centre Hastings aerial truck, brought a barn fire under control late Saturday afternoon, April 16.

The barn on St. Lawrence Street West started to burn around 4:30 p.m., said neighbour Kevin Cutts.

Cutts was working in the yard next door, when he heard “a loud whooshing sound, then the flames began shooting out,” followed by the sound of what he thought was electrical

wires popping.

The barn, set about 200 metres behind the residence, contained large round bails of hay. Jim Patrick was not home at the time, though there were workers in the pasture tending to the cattle.

The scene was secured late in the evening, but the hay rekindled Sunday morning, said Fire Chief Jason Gear, noting the department returned and dug deeper into the rubble to extinguish the source of the flare up.

The cause of the blaze has not been positively determined.

There were no injuries.

Arrest made in Stirling-Rawdon break-and-enters

By Terry McNamee Stirling — In his quarterly report to the Stirling-Rawdon Police Services Board on Monday, April 11, Chief Dario Cecchin announced that police have arrested those believed responsible for recent break-and-enters in the Stirling area.

“The culprits were arrested in Belleville on an unrelated matter, and were subsequently charged,” the chief said.

“There were a couple of individuals who aren’t from the Belleville area who were conducting break-and enters all over the place.”

He said the investigation by the Stirling-Rawdon Police, including photographs of the scenes and of tire impressions, should help the Belleville police in this matter. The investigation into all charges against the B&E artists is Please see “Arrest” on page 4

Norwood – In a small gesture of solidarity, Asphodel-Norwood raised a flag to celebrate Autism Awareness during a town hall ceremony Monday, which included students from Norwood District High School’s Learning Life Skills class.

The installation of the flag continues a tradition established by the previous township council; a tradition that recognizes the need for inclusion and celebration of diversity in the community.

The United Nations declared April 2 World Autism Awareness Day in 2007;

An estimated one in 68 children has Autism Disorder, a ten-fold increase over the past decade according to Autism Speaks Canada making it the fastest growing developmental disorder in North America, Asia and Europe.

“We proudly raised the flag spreading the message of integrating people with different abilities,” said Asphodel-Norwood Mayor Terry Low on a cold, winter-like morning.

Cecchin said, in continuing his report, most statistics are remaining near the norm for the past few years, although there have been fewer complaints about parking and noise.

He said police responded to six complaints of assaults committed by people with dementia.

“It seems to be becoming a growing issue,” Cecchin said. “Of course, we don’t charge those people because there is no criminal intent.”

He also cautioned people to beware of telephone frauds and scams.

“The main one that keeps coming to our attention more than anything else is the calls that are coming from a person representing themselves to be employees of the Canada Revenue Agency and requesting payment for taxes in arrears or threatening legal action for non-payment,” the Chief said. “Thankfully, citizens aren’t biting. They’re calling us and letting us know that this is happening. Canada Revenue does not conduct business in that regard. These aren’t folks from the area. They can be anywhere around the world.”

OPINION

Parents are the true experts in autism funding fight

Non-linear climate emergency If you spend a lot of time talking to scientists about climate change, there’s one word you’ll hear time and time again, and yet it’s hardly ever mentioned in the public discussion of climate change. The word is “non-linear.”

Most people think of global warming as Gwynne Dyer an incremental thing.

It may be inexorable, but it’s also predictable. Alas, most people are wrong. The climate is a very complex system, and complex systems can change in non-linear ways.

In other words, you cannot count on the average global temperature rising steadily but slowly as we pump more and more greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. It may do that, but there may also be a sudden jump in the average global temperature that lands you in a world of hurt.

That may be happening now.

“We are moving into uncharted territory with frightening speed,” said Michel Jarraud, secretary-general of the World Meteorological Organisation, last November. He was referring to the fact that the warming is now accelerating in an unprecedented way.

The year 2014 was the hottest ever, until 2015 beat it by a wide margin. This year may beat that record by an even wider margin. It was the hottest January ever, and then the average global temperature in February was a full fifth of a degree Celsius higher than January.

That was a huge jump, since the “average global temperature” is an average of all the temperatures over the seas and the land in both the summer hemisphere and the winter hemisphere.

It is normally a very stable figure, changing no more than a few hundredths of a degree from year to year.

But March was not only hotter than February.

It was hotter by an even wider margin than February was over January. Indeed, each of the past 11 months has beaten the highest previously recorded average temperature for that month.

Some people try to explain this all away by blaming it on El Niño, a periodical rise in the ocean surface temperature in the eastern Pacific that moves the rainfall patterns around worldwide, causing droughts here and floods there.

But El Niño is a LOCAL rise in temperature, it does not normally affect the average global temperature much.

El Niño had not even begun when 2014 beat

all the records for average global temperature.

It was a powerful influence on weather patterns for all of 2015, but climate scientists estimate that it was responsible for only 10 per cent of the record warming in that year and 2015 would still have been hotter than 2014 even if you subtracted the El Niño effect.

And it was far hotter than the last big El Niño year, 1997.

As for the frightening acceleration in the warming in the past three months, that has no precedent in any El Niño year, or indeed in any previous year. It could be some random shortterm fluctuation in average global temperature, but coming on top of the record warming of 2014 and 2015, it feels a lot more like part of a trend.

Could this be non-linear change, an abrupt and irreversible change in the climate? Yes, and if it is, how far will it go before it stabilises again at some higher average global temperature? Nobody knows.

Last year, the average global temperature reached one full degree Celsius higher than the pre-industrial average. That is halfway to the plus-two degree level which all the world’s governments have agreed we must never exceed, but at least we got to plus-one slowly, over a period of two centuries.

The plus-two threshold matters because at that point the warming we have already caused will trigger natural feedbacks that we cannot control: the loss of the Arctic sea ice, the melting of the permafrost, and immense releases of carbon dioxide from the warming oceans. After plus-two, we will no longer be able to stop the warming by ending our own greenhouse gas emissions.

Even at the global climate summit in Paris last December, there was still hope that we might avoid triggering the feedbacks, because the historic rate of warming would still give us about 25 years to work on cutting our emissions before we reach plus-two. But if the current nonlinear surge in warming persists, we could have covered half the remaining distance and reached plus 1.5 degrees by the end of this year.

Obviously most scientists will not go this far in public, but they are very worried. As Prof.

Stefan Rahmstorf of the Potsdam Institute of Climate Impact Research told The Guardian recently: “We are in a kind of climate emergency now.”

I’m not a scientist, but 10 years ago I spent almost a year interviewing almost all the world’s leading climate scientists for a book I was writing. I learned that all our calculations for dealing with climate change could suddenly be swept aside by a non-linear event, and this could be it.

Central Hastings Trent Hills News - Thursday, April 21, 2016

Editorial - Chris Malette

There’s a time for so-called expertise and a time to listen to those affected directly by government decisions.

The latest issue involving a redirection of funding for families with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder is a clear example of an opportunity for a government – in this case the Ontario government – to admit it is wrong and to do the right thing.

Earlier this month, the Liberal government announced a new Ontario Autism Program with $333 million in funding, but changes include limiting Intensive Behavioural Intervention to children between two and four.

Children and Youth Services Miwnister Tracy MacCharles said advice from experts was to focus on children in that developmental window. “I know it’s a transition, I know it’s challenging,” said MacCharles, whose son has special needs. “The research has said before and most recently with our clinical expert committee that the best window for IBI is those younger years, the two to four...”

But, dozens of parents of autistic kids believe they know their children best and took to the streets in Belleville last Friday to protest the move by the government.

Protester Mary Ellen Monk said other provinces, such as Alberta, have direct funding for families with autistic children. Her nine year old benefitted greatly from IBI treatments when it was more available, she said.

“My heart goes out to the families who will miss out,” she said.

As well, Lisa Anne Chatten, known to many in this community for her many and varied volunteer efforts, penned the following observation on National Autism Day, April 2.

As the parent of an autistic child, Chatten knows well the challenges but also displays here the strength of character and conviction of parents who know they must provide “intense parenting” for many, many years.

“When most people have children, they bank on about 18 years of intense parenting, setting them up and setting them out to the world for college, university, or the work world. Looking forward to them finding their

path and their dreams, and coming back to visit until the parents are in their 70s, then the child taking care of their parent in their golden years.

Parents of children with Autism don’t share your fantasy. Intense parenting to me, means something totally different than to the rest of the world. I have to stand up for my children every single year of their school life, often having to watch them suffer over the same hurdles year after year. I have to gain the trust of the school officials, the teachers, and the support staff so that they will listen to my suggestions and not block me at the doors as I encountered with a different school. I have to gently undo emotional damage by “friends” in my son’s classroom, who beat him up for doing a job a teacher gave him. I have to predict what it was that set Aiden into a horrific screaming melt down based on information provided to me by someone who was there, so we can try to stop it from occurring tomorrow. I have to do this, every day, for the rest of their school lives... Then, when they turn 18, they will embark on a new kind of adventure, where I will be even more involved in their academics, advocating for them to be accepted into jobs that don’t generally like the idea of having to employ special needs.

My parenting doesn’t get to relax at 18 years - I don’t get to pass the baton. I will be parenting Aiden until I am dead, and I will have provided alternative means of safety for him 20 years after that. Just think on that for a moment - I will be parenting 20 years after I am dead.

Please, today take a moment and support Autism. It isn’t all rain, but it certainly isn’t something to take lightly. Most of us with Autistic children are stronger than we look, but we are that way because of those who so beautifully support us, and our children. Blue is my heart.”

For the children of Lisa Anne Chatten and all the parents who are wringing their hands and being subjected to fear of the future for their children, the Wynne government needs to listen – truly listen – to their pleas.

Marmora Fair in danger of cancellation

By Margriet Kitchen

Marmora – Every September Labour Day weekend, for the past 125 years and more, the Marmora Fair has thrilled both young and old with all the elements of the traditional fall fair in Ontario.

This year, there is a very real danger

that a lack of funds may signal the end of the fair. The following statement is from the fair board president, Amy Marsh.

“For the first time in 125 years, the Marmora fair is at risk of being cancelled. The fair, which is held annually on Labour Day weekend, has seen tens of thousands of visitors

pass through the gates. It is an event that residents and many visitors look forward to.” Marsh states, “The fair is very expensive to operate, it costs over $50,000 to operate annually.”

Rising costs and declining revenue from sponsorship sources have put this year’s fair in financial risk. Unlike many other community events and organizations, there is usually no funding through government programs for this type of event. The fair board is actively engaged in fundraising in the community, however they often compete against other organizations with the same goal in mind. “Marmora

residents are generous, however, there comes a point where there is only so much money to give,” said Marsh.

Despite the grim outlook, the fair board is still working hard to raise money to make the fair happen this year. A core group of hard working volunteers have a number of events planned such as a Tack and Craft Sale (April 24 at the Marmora Legion), Turkey Shoot in May, Wrestling Night, boot drives and a number of raffles.

“We need help”, pleaded Marsh.

“We are in dire need of sponsors, donations and most of all volunteers to

help with the planning and running of events before and during the fair.”

Marsh also indicated that the Marmora Fair has happened for 125 years because of all the work of volunteers.

Watch for updates and coming events fundraisers at the facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ Marmorafairboard/ You can help by volunteering, donating money or raffle prizes or sponsoring any of the events.

To help save the fair in 2016, please contact Amy Marsh at 613-885-0437 or email at marmorafairboard@gmail. com

Motivational speaker a guest of Campbellford Rotary

By Sue Dickens

In 2015, Marmora celebrated their 125th annual fall fair. This was a momentous occasion, and here, then Fair President Kelli Curtis on behalf of the Board, accepts a certificate of congratulations on the occasion, with MPP Todd Smith, MP Daryl Kramp, and Marmora & Lake Mayor Terry Clemens. This year it is possible that this long standing traditional fair may be in danger of cancellation due to lack of funding. Current president, Amy Marsh has issued a plea to the community for all the support they can offer to help the fair survive. Volunteers are always welcomed in any capacity. Come on out to meetings, fundraisers, and of course, the Marmora Fair in September! Photo by Margriet Kitchen

Campbellford – Taking a personal tragedy and turning it into a positive message, motivational speaker John Cairns of Belleville told his story at a recent meeting of the Rotary Club of Campbellford.

Cairns lost an arm and a leg in a rail accident at the age of 26 in 1992. While assembling a train in the Toronto yard, he was run over by a 68-ton railway car.

Now, having just turned 50, he

wants to test himself with a new challenge, a climb up Mount Kilimanjaro.

“I have a motivational company called the Voice of Victory and I will be climbing in support of the Wheelchair of Hope Foundation,” he explained.

“I represent the idea of what’s possible, how you can rise above a challenge and succeed despite the circumstances. If I can do it, you can do it,” he said.

Judging school sessions are available for fall fair season

By Sue Dickens

Warkworth – Judges for the many competitions that are an integral part of any local fair, are a hot commodity these days, and spring is the time when judging schools often get underway in preparation for fall fair season.

“Our local District 3 of the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies (OAAS)

is hosting a judging school,” commented Janet Torrance, homecraft director and associate for District 3. She is also a homecraft judge.

“A couple of judging schools are held every year in different areas,” she explained. Folks in this area will be able to attend two schools taking place in April, the first for baking and canning and another for junior work.

“Judging schools are for ap-

prentice judges, or those who want to re-certify. Judges have to re-certify every few years,” said Torrance. Judging schools are also for those people who want to know more about how to exhibit at local fairs.

Ellie Tweedie, who lives near Warkworth, is a well-known judge, and she has helped judge the junior work and baking categories. “She helped us judge last year, and will be attending

Marmora – Paul Speight, president of the Marmora & Area Curling Club, has announced that the badly needed new ice plant for the facility will now become a reality. The current unit is at least 40 years old. The project team of Ken Hossack, Bill Hossack, and Paul Speight have worked through the funding application processes and follow up.

The Ontario Trillium Foundation share is $81,140 while the Canada 150 is a matching $81,140.

Former Prince Edward-Hastings MP Daryl Kramp presented the organization with the news of the Canada 150 Paul Speight, president of the Marmora and Area Curling Club, shows the aging ice plant at the facility. Photo by Margriet Kitchen grant at a ceremony last fall.

judging school this time to re-certify,” Torrance noted.

There is a roster of judges available to local fairs and their contact information is online at the OAAS website, www.ontarioagsocieties.com.

According to the OAAS, qualified judges are required to attend judging schools every two or three years to keep in touch and be familiar with changes in the judging process and learn about new techniques and classes.

“District 3 consists of 17 fairs. We’re one of the biggest districts in the OAAS,” said Torrance. “We go from Kingston to Roseneath, Coe Hill to Picton.”

Judges can come from not only Warkworth but also from Campbellford, Stirling, Cobourg and other towns nearby.

This year the Warkworth Fair celebrates its 166th year and takes place Sept. 9 to 11. “We have judging day on the Friday morning, so they judge from noon to 3 p.m. or 4 p.m. We have different judges come in for the different divisions such as crafts or baking and so on,” Torrance explained.

The two judging schools being hosted for District 3 will be held on Sat., April 23 in Odessa. The baking and

The cost is $10 per session or $15 for both.

Cancer volunteer champions yellow pins of hope in Havelock

By Bill Freeman Havelock – Doris Embleton feels passionately about the yellow pins of hope that symbolize the Canadian Cancer Society’s traditional Daffodil Days, which help to officially launch the Society’s annual April fundraising campaign.

“I feel very strongly about the Cancer Society and how it works,” said Emble-

ton, as she volunteered her time at a table in the Havelock Foodland as part of a team that helps raise funds across the Havelock-Hastings-Roseneath and Norwood areas.

The Society no longer sells plants as part of Daffodil Days but has made a successful shift to attractive and distinctive lapel pins which are also available in local businesses throughout

the April campaign.

Last year, donations for pins alone raised $363 in Havelock, $343 in Norwood and $649 in HastingsRoseneath.

Embleton has been a Cancer Society volunteer for more than 30 years, inspired by her daughter’s successful battle with cancer in the early 1980s.

“That put me in this position of volunteering. It is very gratifying and I do the door-to-door campaign as well,” she said.

Embleton says one of the “biggest challenges” facing cancer patients is transportation to and from healthcare centres for treatment and appointments. Funds raised locally help defray some of those “transportation end” costs which add up significantly.

She has a simple message for potential volunteers of all ages.

“Get involved if you have even just an hour or two.”

Volunteers can help with pins, spend some time on the door-to-door campaign or take on something larger like becoming a volunteer driver or helping out with other cancer fundraisers like Relay for Life, the Terry Fox Run, Movember or the Run for the Cure.

“You can do as much as you like, or as little as you want,” she said. “Everyone has been touched by cancer, either family, friends or past family members and every bit of help counts.”

The door-to-door campaign, organized by long-time volunteer Phyllis Donnelly of Hastings, raised nearly $6,800 last year.

Donnelly and her volunteers were lauded by Anita Record, the now-retired manager of the Canadian Cancer Society’s Peterborough and District office, who was in Hastings last May to honour local fundraisers.

“Phyllis is outstanding. (She’s) one of the reasons Havelock, Hastings and Norwood does so well. She is known in the community and she motivates people.

She has a passion.”

Doris Embleton volunteers her time at the Havelock Foodland grocery store, distributing Daffodil Day pins for the Canadian Cancer Society. Supporters can pick up pins at various locations around the district throughout the Cancer Society’s April fundraising campaign.

The Hilker Hustle is back but with a twist Campbellford - President and CEO of Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH) Brad Hilker, is bringing back “The Hilker Hustle” fundraiser, but he is switching it to two wheels.

Hilker took a few moments during the recent regular CMH board meeting to launch “The Hilker Hustle on Wheels.”

For the past two years, he has raised funds for high priority medical equipment for the hospital by setting and following through on a personal jogging goal in what became known as The Hilker Hustle.

In 2014, he ran almost 1,000 km, and raised more than $3,000 for the hospital. In 2015, he ran well over 1,000 km and raised an additional $6,100 for new patient care equipment.

This year, rather than running, he is hopping on his bike and is challenging himself to ride

2,000 km and raise $8,000 for the hospital.

“Each year I like to set a physical goal for myself and thought I would change things up a bit this year. So once the weather clears, I will be getting out my bike and getting ‘The Hilker Hustle on Wheels’ underway,” he stated.

He plans to ride 1,900 km this spring and summer with the final 100 km done in the second “Bike Up Northumberland!” event on Sept. 10.

Launched last year this charity ride is in support of Northumberland County’s two hospitals to raise money for the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation and Northumberland Hills Hospital Foundation.

Funds raised will be equally distributed to both foundations to support the purchase of priority medical equipment. The

cycling route follows the waterfront trail from Cobourg to Presqu’ile Provincial Park in Brighton.

The ride is designed for cyclists of all ages and abilities with 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 kilometre routes.

“I am very pleased to see the two hospital foundations partner once again on this great event, and it fits in very nicely with The Hilker Hustle on Wheels,” said Hilker. “I hope many others will consider participating in “Bike Up Northumberland!” or supporting one of the riders,” he concluded.

Fashion for food brings a little pizzazz to Madoc

By Diane Sherman Madoc - Helping Hands food bank hosts three major fund raisers yearly.

First is the Spring Thing fashion show featuring the latest trends from Lafferty Men’s Wear of Quinte Mall and Julia’s Women’s Wear of Stirling.

This is the fourth year for the benefit.

With wife Golda modelling, Tom Lafferty finally attended the event he has supported since its inception.

Lafferty said he had no problem supplying a wardrobe, “I have full confidence in the organizers, and it’s a good cause.”

His choice for men featured new trends of vibrant colours, narrow-legged pants and patterned shirts.

He dressed Aaron Bell in red jeans, a blue jacket and shirt.

Bell rolled up the bottoms and took to the runway barefoot.

MP Mike Bossio can’t claim to be a model, but he carried the show with friendly humour.

Jon McConnell and Brandon Hazlett were assigned bold looks reflecting their youthful agility, while retired teacher David Redcliffe carried a distinguished look in both sporty attire and a tailored suit.

Donna Adams, daughter Cheryl Freeman and grand-

daughter Chelsea represented three generations volunteering for the benefit.

Award winning fundraiser, Deborah Best, and TD Canada Trust staff Patti Fluke and Joanne McCann accentuated Julia’s line of fashion for all sizes and shapes, while Dianna Patch shared the vibrancy of her Red Hats affiliation in fashion and flare.

Shannon Lee, Community Learning Alternatives, and Tara Flagler of Anchor of Hope were fitted with a young, business look

by Kelly Dearman of Julia’s.

Dearman has a keen eye for style. She took advantage of Golda’s business style to show

casual and evening wear for an active, city woman.

Scotty Lalonde spun the tunes, Amazing Coffee served hot drinks, the Dough Box and Hidden Goldmine supplied the

treats and the Calicos sang.

The next fundraiser is the village yard sale May long weekend, then the art show in August.

Helping Hands serves over

200 individuals monthly.

To donate, volunteer or for assistance call 613-473-5255 or visit Central Hastings Support Network, 151 St. Lawrence Street East, Madoc.

Students help community with second annual Clothing Exchange 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 6 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.

Models in the show are Dianna Patch, Donna Adams, Golda Lafferty, Deborah Best, Joann McCann, Shannon Lee and Patti Fluke, backed by David Redcliffe, Brandon Hazlett, Tara Flagler, Jon McConnell, Chelsea Freeman, Aaron Bell, Cheryl Freeman and Mike Bossio. Photo by Diane Sherman

Environmental concerns addressed in Centre Hastings

By Diane Sherman Madoc - The abandoned gas station at Wellington and St. Lawrence Streets is a concern for the municipality.

With back taxes pending, the municipality can go through a tax enforcement process to take over ownership of the property, but that will not happen until it has been assessed for environmental contamination.

Cambium Consulting and En-

gineering of Peterborough has been contracted to test the soil on the property.

Councillor Bob Hadley says there are two stages of assessment required before the municipality can go forward.

Cambium began boring for samples Monday, April 18.

Project co-ordinator Bernie Taylor told Metroland Media this is only the beginning of testing, it will be followed with a risk assessment report

required to be submitted to the Ontario Environmental Site Registry.

The property includes the house to the north of the former store and gas station.

Hadley says if the ground is found to be contaminated, the municipality can apply for provincial funding for “brownfields redevelopment” and claim ownership of the property through municipal tax enforcement legislation.

Meanwhile, residents should be aware the Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) began the spring discharge from the sewage treatment lagoon March 29.

The discharge continues for a minimum of 21 days. The lagoon is a Class 1 facility, managed by OCWA on behalf of the municipality. It received a positive report for the 2015 year,

complying with all regulating authorities.

The full report is available on the municipal website in the March 30 council agenda or at the office.

Mayor Tom Deline stated at the April 13 council meeting, “I want the public to be aware management of our waste water is in good hands, and our

lagoon is in good shape”.

Some residents around Moira Lake were concerned about sewage discharge in the past, but he says, “The report shows we are at safe levels and residents should know there is nothing to be concerned about.”

Residents should also be aware there is a complete fire ban on throughout Centre Hastings.

Compliment zone/ bully free pink tent used to celebrate anti-bullying campaign Warkworth – Celebrating the “Day of Pink” the students of Percy Centennial Public School made the event a positive experience with a special “compliment zone/bully free” pink tent.

Set up in the schoolyard, students were able to take their classmates to the tent and give them a personal message, a positive message of their own.

For Grade 1 student Kayla Marshall, it was an opportunity to say to schoolmate Kendyl Pitre, Grade 2, “Thank you for helping me tie my shoelaces.”

She also walked Grade 1 classmate Ella VanZoeren to the pink tent and said, “You’re a good friend.” Many other students did the same throughout the day.

Kindergarten, knew what the “Day of Pink” was all about too. “Today is about stopping bullying. That is why the tent’s here,” she said with a shy smile.

The sisters’ “pop pop” (a.k.a. Harry Jeninga) donated the pink tent for the event.

The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board (KPR) and its secondary student leaders also celebrated by launching a new social media campaign and T-shirts with the message BE YOU - #propositivity@kpr, in honour of the Day of Pink (April 13).

“The intent of the campaign is to celebrate and support positive, caring relationships among students and staff, as a way to prevent bullying,” stated Board Chairperson Cathy Abraham.

Many KPR schools marked the Day Students Ella Marshall, Senior Kindergarten and her sister Kayla, Grade 1, of Percy Centennial Public of Pink with special events.

14-year-old Charlie is summering with his mother Grace and his older sister Elsie before heading off to a prestigious boarding school in the fall. His father is serving in the armed forces in the Pacific.

Charlie has intended to spend the summer “loafing and socializing” but the need for some spending money forces him to take a job as a handyman for a bohemian art teacher Anna Trumbull, a former member of the up-

per crust whose lost her fortune and no longer shares the ideals of the world of her upbringing.

Anna thinks she sees a “kindred spirit” in the young teen and teaches him about painting and sculpture and exposes him to “radical ideas about life and love”. Over time, Charlie ditches the idea of going back to the expensive private school, a decision that leads to a family crisis and showdown between Anna, and Charlie’s conservative mother.

Take a moment, enjoy the little things...

The Theatre Guild production will be directed by Steve Russell and produced by Linda Conway and Liz Woosey. It will run July 15-23.

The auditions will take place at the Guild’s home at 364 Rogers Street in Peterborough April 25 and April 27 at 7 p.m. with callbacks on April 28 at 7 p.m.

The cast consists of two male and four female roles: Charlie, a role that could be played by an actor between the ages of 14

and 20; Anna Trumbull, the art teacher; Grace, Charlie’s mother; Elsie, Charlie’s 19-year-old sister; Bonny, 14, the “annoying girl next door” and 16-year-old Ted, Charlie’s summer vacation friend.

The young teen actors could be played by slightly older actors because in the production they are “looking back” on past events.

St. Paul students punch above weight at regional science fair

By Bill Freeman

Norwood – When it comes to science, St. Paul Catholic Elementary School in Norwood is the “little school that can.”

Nine St. Paul students came home from the Peterborough Regional Science Fair at Trent University with awards.

“As a little country school, I can really be proud of our accomplishments,” teacher Kerstin Scott said, noting that the regional fair had close to 230 projects, about the same number as tiny St. Paul.

“For a really small school, I’m happy how we did as a whole,” Scott said. “The opportunity for them to be there was wonderful and to see all the other schools and what they bring. It’s just a great day the way it’s set up.

“It’s a public speaking opportunity for them; it’s just to share what they know and what they

have an interest in. For a small school in the country that’s pretty exciting.”

“It was really fun,” said Grade 3 student Whitney Menard, who teamed up with Alberta Robertson for their “Music is Radical Radio” project which earned a Primary General Science Award of Excellence.

“Trent is really big, and it was kind of fun to eat in the cafeteria,” Whitney said.

She and Alberta enjoyed checking out what other students had on display and filed away some ideas for next year.

“I’ve got my idea already,” she said. “I’m going to do something on smoking.”

“There were lots of other good science fair projects,” said Alberta who won an Award of Excellence last year for her Magic Magnetic Science” entry. “It was pretty cool.

“You got to sit in this room

where all these other people sit and work and are older and smart.”

Eli McColl, in Grade 6, was back for a second year in a row.

Last year he won three prizes including the best overall elementary physics project.

This year he received a Grade 4-6 Biology Award of Excellence for his “Academics and Athletics” project.

“This year was a lot different.

I went into a new room with different people and different types of projects. I’ve still got my thinking cap on for next year.”

Other winners were: Emma Harding and Lucy Matthews, Grade 5, honourable mention, Elementary Biology; Logan Langlois, Grade 4, honourable mention, Elementary Physics; Minute Maid Awards, Lora Ross, Grade 2; Wyatt Cummings and Tate Loyst, Grade 4.

Stirling Lions Fashion Show raises funds for the food bank

By Terry McNamee

Stirling - Spring fashions were on display on Saturday, April 9, as the Stirling Lions Club held a fashion show and tea to raise money for good causes.

Arlene Pollick of the Lions Club said last year’s event was a fundraiser for the Lions Dog Guide program. ”This time, the funds will be going to the food bank,” she said.

Among those attending were Governor Janet Marisson of District A-3 and a group from the Wellington Lions Club.

Pollick said all the food was made and provided by local Lions members.

The 34 outfits featured in the show were all from the new spring line at Julia’s Women’s Wear in downtown Stirling.

“We focus on clothes that will make you look unique,” said

store owner Kellie Dearman.

“There are a lot of independent brands that are smaller that you don‘t see all over the place.

“We aim at women about 40 and up. We‘re looking for clothes that look good on mature women. Our style has changed over the past year.

We‘re a little hipper, a little more contemporary.”

All of the models for the show were local women and were supplied by the Lions Club.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

He’s proud of Red Cross service

TICO#50007364

Dear Editor I was pleased to read the article by Benzy Sangma (April 7) about the valuable service the Canadian Red Cross provides people who have suffered personal disasters in the Quinte area.

I think Ms. Sangma accurately described the help that trained volunteers such as myself provide on a 24/7 basis to those who find themselves in serious need.

I would just like to clarify one sentence in the article: “Allester does not think too highly of what he does at CRC...”. I believe Ms. Sangma was referring to my assertion that I don’t consider myself to be a hero.

I work with a team of 60 other dedicated volunteers who deeply care about the less fortunate members of our community.

While I may not think too

Gala night for Norwood skaters

By Bill Freeman Norwood – It will be known forever as the year Kurt Browning skated in Norwood.

The Norwood District Skating Club capped a hugely successful season with its 19th annual awards night, honouring the club’s 72 skaters, its team of volunteers, program assistants and community partners.

Attracting new executive members is critical, NDSC President Penny Buchanan says.

“We cannot run without volunteers and many of our executive have skaters, who will be leaving the club the next few years,” Buchanan said.

The club makes it easy for potential

board members to get their feet wet, she said. There are directorships that allow members to vote but don’t require them to chair committees.

They can learn what goes on within the club, said Buchanan.

“We would love to see new more people coming out and giving new ideas and perspectives to keep our club growing.”

The club will hold its annual general meeting May 10 (7 p.m.) at Asphodel Fire Trucks.

Receiving major awards were: Cathy Ireland Memorial Award, most enthusiastic skater – Canskate,

G-Hawks beat Raiders 2-0 in Game 3 of Buckland series

By Erin Stewart

Trenton – Daniel Urbani again showed why he is the top goalie in the Ontario Junior Hockey League, shutting out the Georgetown Raiders on home ice to put the G-Hawks up 2-1 in the series.

The Trenton Golden Hawks beat the Georgetown Raiders 2-0 at home on Mon. April 18, with both Trenton goals scored by Mitch Emerson.

Going into Wednesday night’s match in Georgetown, the Hawks led the best-of-seven Buckland Cup Championship series 2-1 and hit the road for Game 4 in Georgetown. The result came after our press deadline.

Emerson scored the team’s

first goal on the power play 17 minutes into the second period and again with only two seconds left in the third period on the open net after Georgetown pulled their goalie. Hunter Fargey assisted Emerson’s first goal.

Trenton was helped by excellent goaltending from Urbani who turned in a shutout with 28 saves, making a flurry of spectacular saves in the tense final minutes of the game.

Georgetown’s goaltender Andrew Masters stopped 21 out of the 22 shots he faced.

The G-Hawks incurred 10 minutes in penalty time while the Raiders tallied 12 minutes.

“It’s not easy to win these championship games, we’ve got to battle for everything we get, but we did just that

tonight,” said G-Hawks coach Jerome Dupont. “Our overall game was better, we were a little more aggressive and obviously we’ve got good goaltending and Mitch Emerson was a big part of our success.”

Emerson said it’s a good bounce-back for the Hawks, coming out of a disappointing double overtime loss in Georgetown.

“We managed to stay out of the box tonight which was key for us,” Emerson said. “We played a good defensive game and shut down a good offensive team.”

Urbani, named the Ontario junior Hockey League’s best goaltender of the year, said the Hawks played a great team effort and the team is getting back to playing their style of hockey again.

“I think the first couple of games, we kind of strayed off of that and then tonight we played a strong defensive effort,” said Urbani. “I think that’s Golden Hawks hockey and that’s what we need to keep doing.”

The Hawks will be back in Trenton for game 5 on Fri. April 22.

Tickets for game 5 in Trenton will go on sale on Thurs.

April 21, at the Trenton arena.

Season ticket holders can grab their tickets on Thursday from 9 a.m. to noon and then the tickets will go on sale for the general public from noon until 8 p.m.

Jeanette was also a default winner in the Silver Strings competition, as the lone violinist up for the award.

Jeanette also won the Joe Demeza Prize on the night. All musicians in the closing Friday night competition are eligible for this award, as it’s given to the person judged as delivering the best performance of the night.

Quinte Trash Bash returns April 23

By Stephen Petrick

Belleville – Roll up your sleeves and get ready for a trash bash Belleville.

The Quinte Trash Bash returns to town on Saturday, April 23. The annual spring clean up event asks citizens to come out and remove trash from public spaces. It involves a friendly competition with two neighboring communities, Quinte West and Tyendinaga Township, as residents of those communities also participate to see which community can remove the most litter

What’s great about the event, said Becky MacWhirter, Belleville’s green co-ordinator and public education officer, is that it showcases the incredible goodwill of people and the pride they have for their communities.

Picking up garbage may be a dirty job, but every year there’s no shortage of people willing to do it.

“I think it’s a real reflection of people’s commitment to the community,” she said.

“It’s something everyone can do; every one can take part in it. This is a great way for people to connect with their neighbours.”

Belleville residents can visit Market Square, Quinte Secondary School or Cascade Park to pick up supplies, such as garbage bags, as early as 9 a.m.

The trash they collect can be placed in garbage and recycling dumpsters provided by the city at the fairgrounds, at Bridge and Sidney streets. The event runs until 2 p.m.

People are encouraged to register in advance at www.quintetrashbash.ca, so organizers can get a sense of how many people to expect. When they pick up supplies they can also tell organizers where they intend to work, so organizers get a sense of what areas of the city are being cleaned and where work remains to be done.

MacWhirter said in the days leading up to the event organizers will be taking note of areas of the city where there is a lot of trash and taking photos of those areas to post to the event’s Facebook page, so participants can learn about ideal places to visit.

If history is any indication, a whole lot of trash will be removed on the day. Last year, 1,864 people registered to participate in the bash between the three communities. Just over 1,000 of those participants were from Belleville.

The communities combined to fill eight dumpsters worth of garbage, MacWhirter said.

She added that the success of the event shows that Belleville citizens “have a real sense around the litter issue. This is something people can take responsibility for.”

She also noted the event is a nice example of everyday citizens working with municipal staff, who ensure that supplies are provided and garbage is collected and removed.

“It’s a nice way for the city to work together with citizens,” she said.

Albert College field gets new name Belleville - It’s long been a prime location for a sports field, but it was in terrible shape – even canting off to one end of the pitch by several feet.

But, all that changed with a refit and a new name for Albert College’s playing field.

The sports field on Albert College’s main campus located at the corner of Dundas Street West and Sidney Street was named “McCullough Field” at a special dedication ceremony on Saturday, April 16.

The main sports field was a major part of the school’s site redevelopment project in the summer of 2015. The field was named in honour of a past student and loyal Albert College supporter, Donald McCullough.

A graduate of Albert College in 1947, McCullough attended the school for six years as a boarding student from Kingston. Affectionately

known as “Mic”, a nickname he received from a classmate while a student at Albert College, McCullough was on hand Saturday.

“Mr. McCullough is a proud Albert College alumnus and a loyal supporter of the school,” says Head of School, Keith Stansfield, during the dedication ceremony. “In recognition of his lifetime commitment to the school, Albert College is pleased to dedicate our sports field in his honour.”

Mic attended Albert College over 60 years ago but remembers his time at the school like it was yesterday. He took to life at Albert in every way, learning the ropes academically, athletically and socially, eventually earning top honours in the classroom and on the field. Mic was surrounded by many of his former classmates on Saturday, as the school celebrated a reunion for classes of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s last weekend, as Grade 12 student, Aysar Younes, Head of School, Keith Stansfield, MPP, Todd Smith, Belleville Mayor, Taso Christopher, guest of honour, Donald “Mic” McCullough, Director of Athletics, Daryl Radford, Albert College’s Athletic Mascot, Paws, and Past Chair of the Board of Governors, Eric LeBlanc.

well.

Also in attendance to celebrate the occasion was Belleville Mayor, Taso Christopher, who spoke at the ceremony thanking the McCullough family and Albert College. “We know academics is under tremendous pressure across the province and across the nation, but Albert College has become one of the most popular and recognized academic schools in the country. It is

an honour to have Albert College as our partner in the community. It gives me nothing but joy to be a part of an event like this on a day like this.”

MPP Todd Smith, addressed the crowd by saying, “this is a special school not just in the city of Belleville but in the country of Canada and certainly in our province of Ontario. Coming over the Norris Whitney Bridge from Prince Edward County into Belleville, the city looks so beautiful from the top of that bridge and one of the reasons why it looks so beautiful is because of Albert College.”

Students for years to come will benefit from the great work that has been FACTORY OUTLET STORE OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK! done to redevelop the sports field.

It’s ‘Beer Month’ in Leuven, Belgium

By John M. Smith I often connect beer festivals with the fall of the year, for that’s when the traditional “Octoberfest” festivities occur. However, Leuven, Belgium, which is often referred to as “the beer capital of the world”, holds its major beer festivals in the spring, and this year’s so-called “beer month” begins on Apr. 22 and ends on May 22. A number of special events take place during this special time, including beer tastings and brewery tours, and a great many beer aficionados will certainly attend. It’s even possible to participate in special workshops where you’ll learn about proper cheese and beer pairings or beer and Belgian chocolate pairings. How delectable! You could also sign up for a brewery bike tour, in which you’d cycle to a nearby micro brewery and then taste the house beers – or choose to participate in a beer golf event in which a beer is served after every hole.

The biggest event of all, however, is Leuven’s annual “Zythos Beer Festival”, which takes place this year on the opening weekend, April 22 & 23; after all, it’s said to be “the largest beer tasting festival of its kind in Europe”, and more than 100 Belgian brewers will showcase about

500 types of beer in one place, the Brabanthal (a large hall and exhibition centre). A free shuttle service will conveniently take you there and back, so you don’t have to worry about drinking and driving. The word “Zythos” is an ancient Greek word for “beer”, so it’s an appropriate choice for a festival that strives to educate the public about beer. While at the festival itself, you can rent a tasting glass and purchase a few tokens; then exchange these tokens at the various beer stands to sample the products.

Another popular event during “beer month” is the smaller, more intimate “Leuven Innovation Beer Festival”, which will take place this year on May 15 & 16. This particular event takes place in De Hoorn, the unique and historic old beer hall of Stella Artois, and it’s a platform for craft breweries from all over the world. Visitors can taste the innovative beers and learn about the ingredients, the techniques used, the actual production, the packaging, and perhaps even the origin of a recipe.

Leuven may have been given its renowned beer reputation simply because it was home to more than 30 active breweries in the early part of the 20th century. It has also been home to Stella Artois since 1926, and is now the headquarters of the larg-

est brewing company in the world, AB InBev. It’s estimated that this one company has about 30% of the world market – and in addition to Stella Artois, its brands include such well known names as Busch, Beck’s, Budweiser, Lowenbrau, Michelob, Alexander Keith’s, Kokanee, Lakeport, and Labatt.

When I visited Leuven, I took a tour of its largest brewery, and I was very impressed by both the size and cleanliness of this operation. Johann was my personal guide in the Stella Brewery, and we first visited its ‘kitchen’, where the ‘cooking’ takes place in large vats that hold 65,000 litres of brew each. We then proceeded to the fermentation, filtration, and bottling sections. I was amazed that there were not a lot of assembly line workers, for most of this process was automated, with the workers actually sitting in a control room, monitoring the activities. I was also struck by the sheer quantity being produced, for I was told that the automated assembly line can put out 150,000 cans and 200,000 bottles per hour! Green bottles were used for the export market and brown bottles were for domestic sales. As I watched this assembly line, I noticed that certain cans were automatically being discarded as they moved along, and Johann explained that “everything is weighed at certain intervals, so if there’s a small leak in a can, that beer won’t weigh the proper amount – and will be thrown off the line and discarded”.

In Domus, a pipe runs the beer directly from the brewery into the adjoining restaurant.

Beer cans, 150,000 of them, go through the assembly line per hour.

However, none of it is stored, so a lot of beer is being produced for it’s simply loaded up in trucks and moved out that very day – in bottles, cans, or kegs.

By Dan Clost O&S 1 FROST What a lovely warm week it was, Gentle Reader. This past Saturday, I joined everyone else in the neighbourhood spending a bustling day working in the yard.

The sun was warm, the breeze was warm but there was still a hint of cold in the air. In some areas of the yard a few hyacinth were in bloom- ahead of the daffodils!- but in shadier spots all there was to be seen was a few tips just poking through

the leaf litter. The forsythia were budded out but not open, deciduous azaleas and rhododendrons hadn’t cracked open either. In other words, we have a normal spring occurring in a normal fashion.

The upcoming forecast is rain on Monday, a bit cool overnight Monday, and then a continuing warm-up culminating in temps in the high teens for Thursday - which should be when you’re reading this. In short, what a perfect lead-in to another gardening weekend. A condition not unnoticed by the garden centres and nurseries are chocka-block with colourful pansies and other spring blooms.

So, GR, it is incumbent upon me, a garden writer, to suggest you “Whoa-up there, buckaroo!” Check the various weather stations and almanacs for last frost dates in your area.

Last frost refers to a killing frost; one that will turn many a prematurely planted annual into black mush. You folks up in the Coe Hill area don’t need any cautions from a southerner like me; heck, you’re all probably still flooding the back yard rink. However, sometimes we

urbanites lose the “feel” of the weather and our impatience gets the better of our impatiens.

Last frost dates for those of you living west of Brighton and south of Bloomfield- 30 April; for Trenton Belleville and up to Campbellford – 10 May. There is an anomalous pocket just south and west of Peterborough, near Fraserville- positively arctic with a possible last frost date of 30 May. If you must purchase tender annuals, don’t plant them for a while. If you have planted them, have some old blankets for covering them up during the cold nights. The thing to remember here is that you don’t remove the blankets until you feel the warmth of the sun in the morning. Otherwise the cold air sitting on top of the blanket at 0700 hrs will simply settle down on the plant and wreak its havoc. If everything goes awry, take a deep breath, realize that they are just plants and carry on.

O&S#2 Pouffing Our lawn was nice and dry so a good raking was in order. I use a run-of-the-mill lawn rake, with the “soft” metal tines: I have

coined a new horticultural term for this method of early spring raking, “pouffing.” I try not to do this until I see that the lawn is greening up, which means the roots are active which, in turn, means they’re anchored in.

Pouffing is simply giving the rake a slight bounce instead of a pull so that the action is more vertical than horizontal. Dead bits will come up with the tines and the green bits have minimal stress placed on them. I like to rake a patch moving in one direction and then redoing it at a 90deg angle. When you’re finished you might think that there is a lot of bare ground and you might be right. But here’s the good thing, grass is a cool season plant so it will fill in those spaces more quickly than any weed at this time. However, if you’re not using corn gluten at twice the suggested application rate, now is a good time for overseeding.

O&S#3 Lawn Weeds This is the perfect time to winkle out dandelions, thistle, knotweed, etc. because they’re easy to see.

And, if you’re busy doing that, you’re not planting annuals before their time.

Cohen tribute a huge success

By Jack Evans

Two sold-out shows greeted a Kingston-based musical ensemble as they performed a “Tribute to Leonard Cohen” in the small but mighty Roy Bonisteel Church Theatre Sunday. The concert was presented as a matinee in the afternoon and an evening show.

Veteran Kingston entertained Roger James, in a Cohen style hat, sat in one corner of the stage, narrating by reading selections from Cohen’s extensive poetic works, interspersed with a generous selections of the famous Canadian’s songs.

They included the current hit, “Hallelujah,” belted out by lead singer Tracie Morgan, who was assisted on vocals by Christina Tracey. Others included “Tower of Song,” “No Diamonds in the Mine,””Gentle This Soul,””It’s Closing Time” and “Just Passing Through.” A surprise encore at the close started with a slow, thumping beat on the keyboard by Spencer Evans, steadily increasing in pace, quickly picked up by drummer Stu Pike and then Adam Hodge on bass guitar. Evans then grabbed his clarinet and broke out into a wild Jewish klezmer piece, received by the audience with wild applause.

A bar well stocked with local wines and craft beers added to the conviviality of the evening.

The former church has become an increasingly popular venue for a wide variety of entertainments with many more events scheduled for the months ahead.

Those interested can keep abreast of these at the website: www.oldchurchtheatre.ca,.

ALTHOUSE, Elda Viola Pearl It is with overwhelming sadness that we announce the passing of our mother Elda Viola Pearl Althouse (nee Derrett). Elda passed away peacefully at her home on Friday, April 15th in her 85th year after a very courageous battle with cancer. Elda was the beloved wife of the late Donald Ray Althouse for 65 years.

She was blessed with 18 great grandchildren and 3 great great grandchildren.

She will also be lovingly remembered by her sister Blanche Towes and brothers Don Wood, Jim Derrett, Clarence Derrett, George Derrett, Don Derrett and Ken Derrett.

Elda was actively involved in Havelock, where she enjoyed the Ladies Orange Lodge, the Dorcas Rebekah Lodge, and the TOPS Club where she achieved ‘Queen’ status. She took great pride and joy in assisting others in their time of need as a Health Care Aide and actively attended many Karaoke events and church luncheons.

A railroad is hiding in the Actinolite bush

By Brett Mann

Actinolite – A lost or adventuring visitor exploring a long windy dirt road in the bush north of Highway 7, might well stare in disbelief if they happened upon the property of Lesley Bernard. On a picturesque bend in the Skootamata River, she and her partner Paul McCluggage have created an outof-the-way monument to Canada’s railway past.

Bernard who is originally from Toronto, and whose father is a train enthusiast, has constructed a full-scale replica train station using original plans from the Canadian Northern Railway, complete with three full-size railway cars and a caboose.

When Bernard acquired the property in 1994, it was just forest. Explaining her attraction to the railway, she remarks, “Dad’s been a long-time train fan. I kind of grew up with it.”

The couple lived in the rail cars from 2004 to 2011. “The rail cars came in first. The first one came in ‘97.”

They used the car as a summer camp, “and in the winter too. That was an adventure. We started building the station in 2008. We moved in, in 2011 and it’s still not finished. We’ve still got trim and paint.”

“Canadian Northern was one of the last railways to get going, and MacKenzie and Mann [Sir William MacKenzie and Sir Donald Mann] hired an architect and said that we want to have a whole series of stations that are all based on the same theme, so that if you’re out on the train, and you’re stopping at one of their stations, you know you’re on Canadian Northern. A guy named Pratt was the actual architect. I think it’s the most classic of the railway stations. It’s sort of the ‘prairie style’ with the big over-

hangs and the brackets. And lots of roof plane changes. … this is probably vintage 1910 design, I would think.”

Plans for the station were found in a book on model railways.

“There’s no reason you can’t build it full scale of course,” she observes. Bernard is an electrician by trade and notes that she inherited her father’s model train collection, proudly showing off

some finely detailed railroad cars made by a Toronto friend, Jason Shron, “a stickler for detail.”

Beside the station/home sit two full-sized rail cars, a sleeper and a dining car, as well as a caboose resting on 400 feet of track. “The caboose needs rebuilding. We installed the track by rolling, tipping, levering, whatever we had to do.” One of the cars came from Trenton from the “now defunct”

Prince Edward County Railway and the other from VIA in Toronto. The caboose came from “a farmer’s field in Aurora.”

Asked about the cost of used railway cars, Bernard replies that they are “cheap to buy but expensive to move.”

The steel “trucks” or wheels weighing 15 tons had to be removed and replaced with wheel dollies for highway transit. A

book of photos documents the task of moving the cars into their present location in the woods.

Bernard and McCluggage have no plans to construct a tourist attraction, “but we do get the odd person dropping in,” she says.

Contemplating the project she’s taken on, Bernard allows, “It seems a bit much at times. Maybe I should have had less grandiose plans.”

Séan McCann wows fans at Stirling Festival Theatre

By Terry McNamee Stirling—It was a magical night for fans of the Newfoundland group Great Big Sea and of Celtic and Newfoundland music as singer/musician Séan McCann performed live at the Stirling Festival Theatre on Wednesday, April 13.

Performing with only a couple of guitars and a bodhran for accompaniment, McCann won over everyone with his easy, laid-back renditions of popular songs made famous by the group he help found some 20 years ago. Although he and the band went their separate ways in December of 20

Section B - Thursday, April 21, 2016

2013, the music remains alive, and McCann has continued to write new music.

He won the crowd over with his very first song, sung without instrument or microphone, and had the audience enthralled for the rest of the show with such numbers as Ordinary Day and Good People.

He also talked about his years of alcoholism while with the band, and his four years of sobriety. Music, he said, is healing, and love and music combined make the world a better place for everyone.

The Stirling Festival Theatre has many shows coming up this spring.

This coming Friday, April 22, at 2 and 8 p.m., features The Elvis Show starring Garry Wesley and featuring Elaine Wesley as Patsy Cline. On Friday, April 29, Night Fever — An Evening of the BeeGees, features an all-Canadian cast. Both shows include performances at 2 and 8 p.m.

On A First Name Basis starring Norm Foster will be at the Theatre every day from May 4-8 with matinee and evening performances.

Meet Ken Capstick, a bartending hospital volunteer hero

By Stephen Petrick

Belleville – Ken Capstick works behind a bar in a well-known Belleville location.

His familiar face and smiling presence cheers up some of the regulars who can be found there.

“I’ll say ‘the bar is open, what would you like?’ Some say, ‘I’d like a margarita,’” Capstick said with a chuckle.

He can’t make those, because it’s not that kind of bar.

Capstick works as a volunteer at Belleville General Hospital, often manning a bar at the Aroma Café in the new Sills wing and working with patients who’ve visited the oncology department.

He’s one of 243 members of the BGH Auxiliary. These and other volunteers accounted for 32,475 hours of service in the hospital in 2015. In fact, volunteers between Quinte Health Care’s four hospitals accounted for about 110,000 hours in 2015; providing work that makes hospitals a more friendly and comfortable environment. The work of those volunteers was noted last week, as April 10 to 16 was recognized as National Volunteer Week.

Capstick realizes the work he does, especially with oncology patients, may be simple, but it makes the hospital have a more friendly environment. He’ll chat with guests in oncology, offer to get them coffee or juice, and answer any questions about how to get around the hospital.

It reduces the stress felt by patients, who are likely already going through a challenging health scare. And for Capstick, the work gives

him an uplifting feeling.

“I think everyone, when they retire, should do work as a volunteer,” the 80-year-old said.

“Otherwise you just lay around the house.

It gets you up in the morning and you feel better about yourself.”

Capstick retired about 16 years ago from a working career spent in a few different professions. He was a Warrant Officer in the Canadian Forces for several years.

He began volunteering for BGH about six years ago, not long after he had to visit the oncology department for blood treatments for himself.

He noticed there were many volunteers working in the hospital who did an excellent job, so he decided to join the team himself.

He also noted the vast majority of volunteers were women and he thought it would be nice if the auxiliary had more men. In time he’d learn he wasn’t alone in that opinion as the auxiliary, to this day, is encouraging more men to sign up.

Capstick doesn’t hesitate to recommend volunteering at the hospital to any interested person. He said, there are so many different areas people can work in that “really, there’s something for everybody.”

In fact, hospital volunteers can volunteer in 22 different service areas, said Catherine Walker, a spokesperson for Quinte Health Care.

She said the work hospital volunteers provide is incredibly valuable and the contributions they make to the hospital are hard to put into words or track on paper.

The 110,000 hours figure, she explained, is really a conservative estimate, because volun-

teers put in a lot of time and effort that’s hard to track.

Plus, she said, they help QHC officials make decision on how to provide service, as they’re so aware of what’s going on in the hospital that the information they provide staff is valuable.

“They step in with a different perspective,” she said. “It enriches our opportunity to do bet-

ter.”

But Capstick does it first and foremost to meet people and contribute to his community.

“It gets you out more and you meet a lot of people,” he said. “It’s good for your health.”

Sledge hockey clinic coming to Sports Centre Sunday

Belleville – It’s described as hockey from a new angle.

Sports lovers are encouraged to come out to free sledge hockey clinic at the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre on Sunday, April 14.

The event runs from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Family Dental Centre arena. Sledges and sticks will be provided, but participants are encouraged to bring their own helmet and gloves.

Sledge hockey is a popular Paralympic sport that looks essentially the same as hockey, only the players move on a sled low to the ice surface.

The event will include Brad Bowden, a Canadian sledge hockey and former Canadian wheelchair basketball player.

Bowden lives with sacral agenesis. He began playing sledge hockey in 1997 at aged 13, for the Kitchener Sidewinders. At the age of 15, he was selected for Canada’s national team. In 2003, he was named to the men’s national wheelchair basketball team, which eventually won gold in the 2004 summer Paralympic games. In 2006, he helped Canada’s sledge hockey team win Paralympic gold. Brad also collected the winning goal in Sochi, at the 2014 Paralympic Games to earn a bronze medal with the Canadian sledge hockey team.
