New Hastings bridge will open April 29

By Bill Freeman

Hastings – The Lock 18 Hastings swing bridge will re-open to traffic nearly a full month ahead of schedule, Parks Canada has revealed.

It’s the kind of spring fever news area residents and travellers have been waiting for, since the bridge was shut down Jan. 4, so crews could install a brand new bridge.

The initial completion target date was May 21.

Originally Parks Canada had discussed the possibility of repairing the bridge, but public pressure and engineering common sense led to the decision to replace the bridge. That announcement came in 2012 and it was revealed that a repair job would cost $1.7 million but might last just 20 years.

A new bridge was priced at $3.4 million.

Several delays stalled the start-up of construction.

Parks Canada spokesman Darryl Whitehead made the re-opening announcement Friday (April 22) afternoon.

Pedestrians will still have to use the special pedestrian walkway to walk between the north and south sides of the river, but vehicles will no longer have to take the large detour around Hastings to move north and south of Hastings along County Road 45.

“There remains the possibility of intermittent closures as the contractors finalize their work at the site,” said Whitehead.

Whitehead says that work will include the removal of the temporary pedestrian walkway, site remediation and routine checks of the new bridge to “ensure its responding well to vehicular traffic.”

Pedestrians will still use the walkway until repairs to the sidewalks are completed.

Stirling Rotary’s 16th annual Giant Yard Sale is April 30 Stirling - One sure sign of Spring is on the horizon ... the 16th Annual Stirling Rotary Yard Sale.

Back at the turn of the century when the Rotary Club of Stirling decided to undertake the relocation and restoration of the historic Grand Trunk Railway station the first task was to start raising funds necessary to make it happen. Recognizing that the annual Flea Market and Car Show held on Stirling’s Fairgrounds during the first weekend in May brought huge crowds to the village, Rotarians put on their thinking caps to imagine how they might participate and prosper

during this weekend. The idea of a Giant Yard Sale was what they came up with. This year the calendar has kicked the yard sale into April as May 1 does not arrive until Sunday. With Mother’s Day falling on the May 8 weekend organizers of the Car Show decided that Saturday, April 30 was the date to choose if they wanted to stay on good terms with their mothers.

“Kevin Goodkey has always been very generous with us,” notes Rotarian Alan Coxwell. “When I asked Kevin that first year if we might use the parking lot of his Goodkey Service Centre on the corner of West Front Street and Frankford Road he was more than happy to help us and he has been there for us every year ever

since. It has been a great location for our yard sale and we certainly appreciate Kevin’s continuing support over 16 years.”

The other key element to this longrunning Rotary event is the generosity of local citizens who are doing a bit of spring-cleaning at this time of year and donating anything they would like to get out of their homes. Volunteer Rotarians pick up donated items if needed but many people drop off loads of kindly-used treasures early on the Saturday morning of the event.

Some even buy stuff that is already on display and take it home!

As the years have rolled by that stretch of Frankford Road just south of West Front Street has become almost a mini-market with several neighbours joining in the yard sale spirit. It is hard to predict the items

that will be for sale but there has been everything from fishing tackle to fondue forks, cowboy hats to clown suits, and of course the perennial exercise machine, which somebody thought was a good idea last Christmas when their New Year’s resolution loomed large before them. Along with the upkeep and continuing development of Stirling’s railway station money raised at the yard sale will be used for various community projects such as the outdoor classroom at the Stirling public school.

So, if the spring cleaning bug has bitten you and you want all of that stuff out of the garage so you can actually get your car in there, just call 613403-5636 and a Stirling Rotarian will be happy to give you a hand loading all the treasures you no longer really treasure. Alternately you can email:

alancoxwell@gmail.com with your contact information and the items you would like to donate. Sorry, but televisions, old mattresses and heavy stuffed furniture never sell so we cannot accept those items. And a reminder that this year, Stirling Rotary has added a Bottle Drive to the Giant Yard Sale fundraiser. So put aside those empties with plans to donate them to the cause.

Whether you are wanting to upload or download some stuff, a Rotarian will he happy to help you for the Saturday, April 30 sale which officially starts at 8 a.m.

If timing is better for you around 5 p.m. on Friday, April 29, feel free to drop off any items at the Stirling railway station. Rotarians will be there with the big Oak Hills Water truck to pack away your contributions.

Campbellford’s Edible Garden build

By Sue Dickens Campellford – The seeds of an idea that were planted last fall have germinated into a successful project this spring with the creation of Campbellford’s Edible Garden.

Volunteers gathered alongside organizers Joan Sheppard and Julie Owens (Campbellford Green Thumbs - Facebook) on a piece of land donated by Newman Insurance on Doxsee Avenue.

The highlight of the build was a visit by Chris Palmer, often billed as “Canada’s Favourite Handyman.” He travelled from Oshawa to bring his expertise to the build, and help put the vegetable and fruit garden beds together.

Palmer has quickly become a household name through his creative DIYs. With a strong focus on handcrafted woodwork, he has turned his passion into a career, creating custom projects through his company “Handcrafted by Chris Palmer”.

He made his national debut on the

hit HGTV show Canada’s Handyman Challenge and is now a regular guest expert on Global Morning Show in Toronto.

“I am a big green thumb. If you watched my segments last year, I built a miniature greenhouse out of this lumber by MicroPro Sienna because it is the only eco-friendly wood that we can actually use to put vegetables in, because it won’t leach into the soil and you don’t have to worry about chemicals,” he commented. Palmer is spokesman for the company which has partnered for the build.

As well, local businesses have stepped up to help including Tim Hortons and Canadian Tire which donated a skid of topsoil for the garden.

“We are building 20 15-foot beds, six four-by-four beds, three eight-foot beds and a 14-foot bed,” said Owen as she held up a drawing she created showing the layout.

“We’ve already planted rhubarb and raspberries and we have strawberries Campbellford’s Edible Garden projects is an idea that has grown out of the popular Incredible Edibles Festival that has taken root in Campbellford. Voluncoming as well,” she added.

Sheppard noted, “We’ve also got teers showed up for the build from public schools, the local high school, seniors, Community Living and community enthusiasts. Chris Palmer, Canada’s

“This is a community garden where we want people to come and help weed or just pick a to-

Organizers hope to see the fruits of their labour very soon.

OPINION

Keep calm and idle on in construction season

Burundi: The next genocide?

The good news is that the killing in Burundi has not yet grown into a civil war like the one that killed 300,000 people in 1993-2005, let alone a genocide like the one that killed 800,000 people in neighbouring Rwanda in 1994. The bad news is that Burundi is getthere.

Gwynne Dyer ting It’s hard to speak well of Sepp Blatter, the disgraced former head of FIFA, the international football federation. But Africa would owe him a large debt of gratitude if he had persuaded Burundi’s President Pierre Nkurunziza not to seek a third term, and instead to accept a job as FIFA’s “ambassador for football” to the world.

When the story came out recently in Blatter’s autobiography, the Swiss foreign ministry (which asked Blatter to make the offer) explained that, “The intention was to contribute to a peaceful solution in order to prevent the current crisis in Burundi.”

It might even have worked. Nkurunziza is a keen footballer, and he certainly has put aside enough money to retire on. But he chose to stay on and run for a third term, and started Burundi on the road back down to Hell.

African presidents suffer from two besetting sins. One is the belief that they are irreplaceable: almost two-thirds of African countries had twoterm presidential limits in their constitutions by 2000, but since then 10 of them have seen attempts by their presidents to remove the limit.

The most recent was Rwanda, where President Paul Kagame’s last permitted term will now end in 2034.

But Pierre Nkurunziza’s excuse was particularly pathetic. He became president at the end of the civil war in 2005, when the peace was precarious. There was no time for a presidential election, so he was elected to the presidency by a parliamentary vote.

On the basis of that, Nkurunziza began claiming last year that his first term shouldn’t count towards his constitutional two-term limit because he was chosen by parliament and not by the people. Even Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe (seven terms and counting) saw the humour in that. “They say the first term was not a real term,” he said at an African Union summit last June, “but you were there for five years!”

Burundi’s Constitutional Court accepted Nkuruniza’s claim, however, as it would have been hazardous to the members’ health to do other-

wise. (One of the judges then fled the country, saying that they had all been bullied and threatened into giving that judgement.) The opposition parties all boycotted the election last July, so Nkurunziza “won” – and by then the level of violence was rising rapidly.

The killing started after a failed military coup that tried to stop the sham election, and the reported death toll is now around 400. The known victims are mostly political activists and ordinary citizens murdered by the police in Bujumbura, the capital, but the real total of the killings must be far higher. Rural killings are rarely reported, but a quarter-million people have fled the country in the past year and now live in refugee camps in neighbouring countries.

The one consolation in this dreadful situation, until recently, was that it wasn’t a tribal confrontation. In both Rwanda’s genocide and Burundi’s civil war the majority Hutus (85 per cent of the population) were on one side and formerly dominant Tutsi minority on the other. Since the civil war, however, Burundi’s army has been evenly divided between the two ethnic groups, and the opposition groups have also included both Hutus and Tutsis.

The other besetting sin of African presidents, unfortunately, is that if they come from the biggest tribe (as they most often do), when they get into deep political trouble their default solution is to fall back on tribal loyalties. That is what Nkurunziza is doing now. The army is being purged of Tutsis, and the very same language used by the Hutus in the run-up to the Rwanda genocide is now being used by Nkurunziza’s Hutu backers in Burundi.

Révérien Ndikuriyo, the president of the Burundian senate, has been referring to the regime’s opponents as “cockroaches” (the same word used for Tutsis by the Hutu extremists in Rwanda). He has even called on the government’s supporters to “start work” (“kora”), which was the code-word used in Rwanda for the launch of the 1994 genocide.

Nkurunziza is trying to turn a political confrontation he might lose into an ethnic conflict that he could win, but the cost would be another genocide. The future of an entire country of 10 million people is being put at risk by his personal ambition.

So far the opposition parties (which are, of course, mostly Hutu) are resisting Nkurunziza’s attempts to scapegoat the Tutsis, but in the world’s poorest country, many ordinary Hutus will be tempted to go along with the regime’s lies in order to steal their Tutsi neighbours’ land. We may be weeks away from Africa’s next genocide.

Editorial - Chris Malette Let’s face it, in Canada we have not four but two seasons – winter and construction season.

In this region, few communities are immune to the effects of that old saw in the coming weeks of mild weather.

Throughout the district, roads will be torn up, highways will be detoured, and, worse, main street and downtown businesses in various locations will be impacted by road closures and jackhammers right outside their doors.

In Belleville, in the area of Dundas Street, east of the Prince Edward County link road and the CPR overpass, traffic has been reduced to two painfully slow lanes at peak traffic.

The project is known as the Bay Bridge Road/CPR Overhead Replacement & Dundas Street West Rehabilitation. Its budget is listed at $17.4 million and is a mammoth undertaking, one that was years in the planning.

When complete, it should make travelling to and from The County much smoother.

The new bridge being constructed to connect with Dundas Street will have five lanes, an improvement over the current – and crumbling – four-lane bridge.

Then there’s the downtown political football phase of Build Belleville. Phase 2 of the City Centre Revitalization Project is expected to take place from April 25 to Sept. 15, in the middle section of Front Street, between Victoria Avenue and Bridge Street West.

This phase affects more businesses than Phase 1 work, which took place along the north part of Front Street last summer.

The project involves tearing up the street to install new underground infrastructure that’s more than 100 years old.

But the plan has business owners nervous about how it will impact foot traffic and ultimately sales in the typically busy summer months.

The city sided with builder Len Corcoran Excavating to bump up the schedule, but in the process, officials with the Build Belleville project neglected to keep business owners in the loop.

The blowback was predictable and wholly justified.

to Prince Edward County, said she purchased inventory months ago expecting to have a successful spring season.

If construction work blocks her front doors in the prime months of May, June and July she’s not sure that will happen.

“We’ve been asked to pivot in a short period of time,” she said. “A lot of us have been jeopardized.”

In the village of Hastings, the closure of the Trent Severn Waterway swing bridge at Lock 18 meant the town was literally severed in half. With the bridge closed, the only direct route connecting the north and south sides of the village across Lock 18 is via a special pedestrian crossing.

But, a reprieve was announced last week.

The Lock 18 Hastings swing bridge will reopen to traffic nearly a full month ahead of schedule, Parks Canada has revealed.

It’s the kind of spring fever news area residents and travellers have been waiting for since the bridge was shut down Jan. 4 so crews could install a brand new bridge.

Pedestrians will still have to use the special walkway to walk between the north and south sides of the river but vehicles will no longer have to take the large detour around Hastings to move north and south of Hastings along County Road 45.

In Picton, the main commercial artery through the popular tourist town is going to be a jumble of trenches, gravel and torn up sidewalks for the summer. At the ceremonial start to the construction recently, Picton’s Business Improvement Association named the $5.5 million project the ‘Main Street Makeover’ in an effort to gussy up the grim image of construction and keep shoppers and tourists in town.

No matter where you turn, this summer, you’re likely to see a flag person standing in a roadway waving you down to stop or drive slowly through a construction zone.

Take it with a big, big grain of salt and breathe deeply. The alternative to fixing these roads and bridges is far worse than the short term pain of the road closures.

Anyone who’s been on a vacation to Mexico, the islands or many pockets of Europe will understand it could be much, much worse if you ignore the ravages of time and Mother Nature on infrastructure work.

Former Stirling CAO disputes Township’s version of why he resigned

By Terry McNamee Stirling—Former Stirling-Rawdon CAO Charles Croll says his departure from the township did not unfold as described by municipal officials.

Croll reached out to Central Hastings News to dispute the version of events as spelled out

by Mayor Rodney Cooney in March.

He said his resignation was not sudden, as described by Mayor Cooney, nor was it effective immediately, as the Mayor said on March 10.

“I notified the Treasurer several weeks before and Council 10 days before,” Croll said, adding that it was actually effective March 24.

As for any conflict of interest, Croll said there was none.

“There is no potential or real conflict of interest, “ he said. “Rodney knew this, but chose to make it controversial on purpose.”

He also said that his private company was incorporated February 25. His LinkedIn page, which originally stated he was Director of Eastern Infrastructure Services Inc. as

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

Prior to that, he worked as a project manager at an engineering firm in Kingston. His new company is located in Belleville and provides municipal asset management, sign work, crack sealing and line painting for small towns in Ontario.

“I purposely didn’t advertise to or even discuss my company with Stirling, and I have every right to advertise to other municipalities as I had no say or control over them,” Croll said in an interview. “In my letter to the other municipalities, I asked for no special treatment or consideration, but simply to be put on the invitation list for potential work.

“I went out of my way not to identify myself as being from Stirling-Rawdon, but only from Eastern Ontario which lets decision makers know I am knowledgeable about our region’s problems.”

Front Porch Shenanigans brings free music to Stirling on May 28

By Terry McNamee Stirling - About 20 bands and individual singers and musicians will be descending on Stirling to play for free on front porches in the downtown area on Saturday, March 28.

This new event, called Front Porch Shenanigans, will feature a wide variety of music, including everything from country, bluegrass and blues to rock and punk.

Organizer David Bush is very pleased with the response the event has received from homeowners, who are volunteering the use of their verandahs to all the musicians and singers who have agreed to participate.

“I‘ve had nothing but great response from the community,” Bush said. “It is an exciting event. It‘s the first time Stirling‘s ever done it.”

Among those performing is the Stirling Citizens‘ Band and a class of music students from Ryerson University who will be performing Broadway songs.

While parking in the area is often at a premium, Bush said he has found a solution.

“St. Paul‘s United Church is allowing us to use their lot, and Rotary is on board, so there is parking at the Rotary Train Station,” he said. He added that the Lions Club and Fine Line Design also have been a big help getting the project off the ground.

He said that this event is totally family friendly, and of course, it‘s completely free.

“Just walk along the street and enjoy the day,” he said.

The majority of the performers will be local artists.

“The Stirling-Rawdon area is rich with musical talent, and there is a buzz in the village about this event,” Bush said. “The full slate of performers and locations will be available soon.”

Front Porch Shenanigans will run from 1 to 4 p.m. More information will be posted on the Front Porch Shenanigans Facebook page as it becomes available.

“The traffic on Facebook has been outstanding,” Bush said.

Trailer park’s foes angry Trent Hills signs site plan agreement

By John Campbell Trent Hills – Residents upset with how a trailer park on Wilson Island has disrupted their lives, are furious their one-time ally, the Municipality of Trent Hills, has signed a site plan agreement with Island Park RV Resort to allow its expansion.

“They did an about-face, that’s what happened,” said Bob Hall, whose complaints about the park upstream from his residence include shoreline erosion, destruction of wetlands, increased boat traffic, loud noise and inadequate sewage treatment.

“We feel abandoned.”

Laurie Roy, whose 125-acre property sits adjacent the park, said the agreement is “a slap in the face” after she and Hall had fought the resort’s application to rezone and had been supported by the municipality, which denied the rezoning and then defended its decision at an Ontario Municipal Board hearing in 2015.

The municipality then went to court to have trailers removed from 56 sites in an area under dispute.

Trent Hills said in a statement site plan control had been “the desired outcome” all along.

“It was never Trent Hills council‘s position to impose a punitive solution to this matter, but to bring planning control to an area which has been unclear in terms of use and location since 1980.”

The agreement bars future development of waterfront lands and the western area of the former T2 zone which set out where trailers could go.

Reducing the park‘s commercial operation from 25 acres to 22.64 acres represents “a compromise” of both sides’ “legal positions,” it said.

“Importantly, the settlement allows for other agencies to immediately address other issues regarding the park, especially the sanitary sewage system.

It was clear to Trent Hills that this

matter was going to occupy multiple legal planning processes and would continue to do so for some time, creating uncertainty for other agencies in carrying out their mandates.”

With the settlement, the municipality and agencies are “able to address the key issues in their jurisdiction in a more timely and cost effective manner.”

The municipality noted the agreement also allows “fewer sites per acre than would be strictly permitted under the general bylaws for trailer parks.”

“Normally it’s 10 trailers per acre, that would have been 230 trailers allowable [but] we‘ve capped it at 201,” Deputy-Mayor Bob Crate said.

“I don‘t think it‘s fair,” said Roy, who has opposed changes to the park’s operations, such as the clearing of brush and the widening of a canal, for the same reasons that Hall has, but she also cites flooding on her lane way, loss of privacy, trespassing by park users, and the increased risk that more boats pose for her sons while

swimming.

“It‘s dangerous,” she said. “It‘s an accident waiting to happen.”

Director of planning Jim Peters said the municipality was advised by three lawyers that “site plan control is the best way to deal with this situation.”

The outcome might not be perfect, but the agreement provides for natural restoration to take place in certain areas, removes sites for tents along the park’s western boundary, prevents development from occurring “very close to the water, where we didn’t see we could stop trailers from going,” and allows the Ministry of the Environment to deal with the park’s “sanitary sewage issues,” he said.

Peters added the municipality will do “regular checks” of the park and keep in touch with other agencies “to make sure everything is going along according” to the agreement.

“We’ll keep a close eye on it,” he said.

It was the “best” solution for all the

issues, Mayor Hector Macmillan said.

“There was never going to be one single winner,” he said. “Council found the middle ground.”

Roy and Hall disagree and have vowed to continue their fight when the park’s application for rezoning again comes to council for approval in May. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs

“has told me they cannot enter a site plan agreement unless the zoning” is in place, Roy said. “I’m just too darn stubborn to give up.”

Macmillan said, “If the neighbours want their pound of flesh, then they should go to the authorities [to] do that,” or seek redress through civil action.

Bob Hall and Laurie Roy say their lives have been disrupted by changes to the environment and the expansion of operations at Island Park RV Resort. Both are furious with Trent Hills’ decision to sign a site plan agreement with the owner, which Roy described as “a slap in the face.” Photo by John Campbell

Liberal red shifting to post-election parliamentary green for MP Bossio Tweed - “During the election it’s one thing, after the election I’m everyone’s representative,” said Hastings Lennox and Addington MP Mike Bossio following a party riding association meeting held recently at the Tweed Library.

Bossio elaborated, “Did you see my latest newsletter? Did you notice the parliamentary green?

People have been asking me ‘why green?’ I answer them, that’s parliamentary green. I’m your member of parliament. I’m not the Liberal member, so I’m not going red … how can I be a representative of all my constituents, if I do everything in red, they know I’m partisan. I want to hear everyone.” He adds that “many more” MPs are following the same thinking.

Bossio’s taste for green goes beyond distancing himself from partisanship. The energetic rookie MP is a long time advocate of sustainability, whether environmental, social or economic. His interest and dedication have led to significant par-

decision and every piece of policy, legislation and programming involves consideration of economic, social and environmental sustainability issues. The transformation would be massive, says Bossio, requiring the government to take future generations into account in policy making. “If we can pull this off it is something that’s going to be a total generational shift … to me this is comparable to what we achieved with universal health care.”

Responding to a question on another issue, the promised legalization of cannabis, Bossio seemed convinced that the government was making progress on the file, which is being managed by MP Bill Blair, a former Toronto chief of police.

“People have to understand, Bill Blair wants to get on with this as much as anyone,” Bossio commented. “I talk with this guy on an ongoing basis and he’s saying ‘I want to get on with this, I don’t want to delay it. I want to get my task force together and start making this happen.’”

Man has vehicle seized after driving it into the ditch twice

By Terry McNamee Stirling—When the Quinte Region Traffic Coalition (QRTC) conducted their “Big Four” enforcement blitz on April 21, they didn‘t expect to charge one man twice on the same day for the same infraction.

Constable Scott Preston of the StirlingRawdon Police Service said the QRTC traffic blitz last Thursday was focused on aggressive driving, impaired driving, distracted driving and failing to wear seatbelts throughout Hastings and Prince Edward Counties. A total of 163 charges were

laid throughout the region during the oneday campaign.

The OPP Highway Safety Division found a 61-year-old man who had driven his car into a ditch on an area side road. An ambulance was called, and after it was determined that the driver was not impaired and had not suffered a medical emergency such as diabetic shock, the undamaged vehicle was towed out of the ditch. The man was charged with careless driving.

Six hours later, the OPP found the same vehicle with the same driver in a ditch on the same road. This time the man‘s vehicle was seized, and he was charged with another count of careless driving and given a

The rest of the day‘s traffic charges included 113 speeding tickets, seven seatbelt infractions, two distracted driving offences due to cell phone use, two suspended drivers and 39 other HighwayTraffic Act offences.

“Although the campaign is over, the QRTC reminds motorists that police will continue to conduct scheduled enforcement blitzes,” Preston said. “Motorists should be aware of their driving behaviours and make adjustments in their driving habits.”

Library board wrangles with RRSP, board composition issues

By Terry McNamee Stirling—The issue of RRSPs versus Tax Free Savings Accounts in lieu of benefits for library staff sparked considerable discussion at the April 19 meeting of the Stirling Library Board.

Board member Denyse Mouck said a prior vote calling for matching contributions to RRSPs for library staff was brought to a previous meeting of the board without prior notice, which did not give members time to think about other options before making a decision that night. She asked that there be a change to TFSAs because, she said, unlike RRSPs, they are not taxable when they are cashed in. “(With TFSAs) you’re not paying income tax on it when you retire,� she said. “What we’re trying to do is develop something that’s standard ... across the municipality,� said board Chairman Coun. Dean Graff.

Counc. Bob Mullin disagreed with the idea of switching to TFSAs. “I’m not in favour of anything but an RRSP matching contributions,� he said.

Mouck said it shouldn’t matter to the board, because the amount of money contributed by the Township would still be the same, it mattered to the employees because of the amount of tax they would pay on the RRSPs. Mouck’s motion to change the monthly contribution to TFSAs was seconded by Stephanie Blake, but when voted on, two members said they did not have enough information and abstained. Graff and Mullin voted no. With a tie vote, the motion was deferred to the next meeting on May 17 to give all board members time to compare the two options before making a decision.

A motion to permit members of the audience

to ask questions related to the meeting at the end of the meeting was passed, and will take effect at the May 17 meeting.

A hot topic from the March 22 meeting was brought back to the table when the board’s last minutes came up for discussion. “I still want to discuss the restructuring of the board,� Mouck said. “That’s done,� said Graff. “It isn’t,� Mouck replied. “It doesn’t matter how long ago it was done — it was done improperly.� She said this could invalidate every decision the board has made since then, because the board’s current structure with two members of council represented does not match the board’s own policy, a policy that was reaffirmed at the March meeting.

The policy, which passed unanimously, states that the board shall consist of one representative of the Township council and six citizens. “Nobody has told me that we’ve done anything wrong,� Graff replied. He then refused discussion on it, saying it was not part of the minutes of the last meeting.

A motion to approve the minutes passed with two against.

Under business arising from the minutes, Mouck asked for a copy of the document that permitted the board to be structured the way it was in contravention of the board’s own policy, something she has requested several times. “It’s regulation 976, Dean, of the Library Act,� interjected Mayor Rodney Cooney, who was in the audience. “It’s Supreme Act 976.

Just read it.�

Graff then moved the discussion on to other regular business and there was no follow-up discussion.

Health benefits of therapy dog program highlighted by Trent Hills volunteers

By Sue Dickens Campbellford – Experts agree that there are long-recognized significant benefits of a therapy dog program and that includes the members of Trent Hills Therapy Dogs Inc. Just ask Tom Wilson, a recent newcomer to Island Park Retirement Residence, which the organization’s volunteers and their therapy dogs visit on a regular basis.

“I think the therapy dogs are great,” he commented during a recent visit.

“I used to have a couple of shih tzus. Dogs are always looking for friendship,” he added, while enjoying a visit by Murphy, a therapy dog that is part Labrador Retriever and part Bernese Mountain Dog. Murphy’s owner, Heather Gulliford, said she and her dog have been part of the Trent Hills Therapy Dog organization for three years.

“Murphy started when she was one year old.

People love him,” said Gulliford.

“When we come here to Island Park, the residents are sitting here waiting for him. He just cheers up people’s day. Everybody needs a dog.”

Another Island Park resident, Lois Brown, agreed.

“I have had dogs since I was born,” she said.

“And I think Murphy is a really nice dog.”

Experts in both the medical field and with therapeutic dog organizations state that animalassisted therapy “can significantly reduce pain,

anxiety, depression and fatigue in people with a range of health problems,” (Source: the Mayo Clinic).

Carol Ferguson, the current president of the Trent Hills organization, explained that the volunteers also visit residents at Burnbrae Gardens, a nursing home in Campbellford and Pleasant Meadow Manor, a retirement home in Norwood, as well as the Campbellford Memorial Hospital and Community Living locations.

“To ensure the safety of the dogs and the people, we have an evaluation process that takes about two hours,” she commented.

The organization is hosting an information night on Thurs., April 14 at the hospital. Anyone interested is asked to RSVP by emailing trenthills.tdogs@gmail.com or calling 705-653-0388.

For more information readers can find Trent Hills Therapy Dogs Inc. on Facebook.

The Marble Arts Players put the ‘act’ in Actinolite

By Brett Mann Actinolite – With the lowering of the curtain on the final performances of the Tweed National Theatre (TNT) and the St. John’s Players in recent years, Tweed has been without a local amateur theatre company. Tim Porter’s successful Tweed and Company Theatre continues to bring top-quality stage productions to the area, but that group is primarily based in Toronto.

Mark Lesage was an active member of TNT, who acted and directed for the company for “about five years.” He recently decided to revive the local theatre scene with the formation of the “Marble Arts Players” who held a meeting to do a reading of a Lesage script at the Marble Arts Centre.

“I guess the Marble Arts Players have met a few times, trying to get a show together, Solstice, Anyone? It’s a variety show that’s going to be on June 17 and 18,” Lesage reports.

A part of the variety show will be Lesage’s play, Space Ship Dirt which the author describes as “a farce of typical sci-fi shows.”

The play deals with an encounter with aliens and attempts to make peace with them, which are complicated by an officer’s obsession with practical jokes.

The turn-out for this reading was small, consisting only of Lesage, Kathy Primrose from Madoc, who will serve as the group’s “secretary, not a performer,” and from Tyendinaga, Cindy Vance-Loft and granddaughter Sky Loft-Campbell. Cindy performed in Mail Order Annie, a TNT production written by local resident Carl Cashin, while this is Sky’s first venture into live theatre.

Solstice Anyone? is modelled on the Spring Run-Off productions of TNT and will feature plays, skits and music. “We want to get that one under our belts first to see if we can go ahead with anything else,” says Lesage.

Primrose adds, “We’d like to encourage people who have ever had any interest in what it’s like to be on stage, maybe they did a little bit in school, just to come out. It’s a fun time doing some performing together.

The Marble Arts Players project has the “support and blessing of the Tweed and Area Arts Council,” according to an information sheet. A number of people have expressed interest including former TNT members and Lesage encourages people to come out, take advantage of the remodelled Marble Arts Centre facilities and “put the ‘act’ in Actinolite.”

The Marble Arts Players is a new amateur theatre venture being organized by actor, writer and director Mark Lesage “with the support and blessing of the Tweed and Area Arts Council.” The company’s first production will be a variety show, Solstice Anyone? opening at the Marble Arts Centre on June 17 and 18.

Local writers’ network announces winners of its inaugural national awards

By John Campbell Trent Hills – The Medlicott Writers’ Network, a philanthropic literary arts initiative based in Trent Hills, has announced the winners of its inaugural Medli Awards.

Pam MacLeod is a communications teacher at Fleming College, whose first novel, “Mystery in Malawi,” is aimed at young adults.

Her fellow recipient is Susan Statham, president of Spirit of the Hills, the Northumberland Hills Arts Association.

Statham‘s book, “True Image,” is the second in a series of mysteries she has planned, featuring the artist/sleuth, Maud Gibbons, which she began with the publication of “The Painter‘s Craft” in 2011.

Both women‘s novels are works in progress that were among 15 submissions accepted by the writers‘ network for judging in a Canada-wide competition it launched last year. More than 100 entries were submitted before the Jan. 31, 2016 deadline.

As a debut writer, MacLeod, who lives near Peterborough, will have her novel edited by Arlene Prunkl, a freelance editor.

Statham, who moved to Grafton after retiring as a school librarian in Toronto, will have her manuscript evaluated

by Gail Anderson-Dargatz, an international bestselling Canadian author and two-time Giller Prize finalist.

MacLeod wrote her novel about children in Africa being kidnapped to work in dangerous diamond mines, “and then chucked it into the drawer for six years,” until a good friend told her about the Medli Awards.

It was “serendipity,” she said. “It was just the right time to put the novel into a writing contest.”

The editorial services covered by the award, worth $5,000, will take her writing “to a whole different level.”

She also hopes to turn the novel into a series about its two main characters, twins Thomas and Cayley and the mysterious organization their grandmother belongs to.

Statham said it will be “particularly exciting to work closely” with some-

one of the stature of Anderson-Dargatz. Her assistance won‘t guarantee her second novel will be printed, but “you‘re much more likely to get your novel published if it arrives publication-ready,” she said. “That gives you a real leg up.”

The Medlicott Writers‘ Network was founded by Merle Marshall-Garside, a retired architect who lives near Campbellford.

“What stands out most of all in both those novels for me is the in-depth research that these authors have [done], to produce their manuscripts,” she said. “The stories are authentic.”

The 15 entries were reduced to five in the first round of judging by seven professionals whose number included editors, a publisher, an agent and a publicist.

It was then left to five ordinary readers to decide which of the finalists deserved an award.

It could take six months to a year before the two manuscripts are ready to be delivered to an agent, MarshallGarside said. “It depends on how many re-writes there are.”

Medlicott has made “a long-term “Publishers are reluctant to take on commitment” to new writers and will debut writers, and yet everyone has to announce its next competition, along start somewhere,” Marshall-Garside with the selected genre, in 2017. said.

Committee boosts spending to recruit more specialists for Campbellford hospital

By John Campbell Campbellford – The Trent Hills Physician Recruitment and Retention Committee has more than doubled its budget for 2016-17 to help Campbellford Memorial Hospital transition to a new model of care.

Most of the $72,000 in additional

funding being provided by CMH will be used to recruit specialists to take the place of local physicians who no longer wish to provide in-patient care as of December 2016.

“It‘s a very positive change,” Laurie Smith, the committee‘s physician liaison, told Trent Hills council April 19. “Our physician complement is

going to be stronger, everybody will be working to their strengths.”

But getting there will be “a challenge,” she said, because “one of the biggest issues” she has is finding accommodations for physicians from outside the community working for short spells at the hospital.

The committee has one apartment it

rents for that purpose and it needs to find another that it can use regularly, which accounts in large part why the budget is being boosted from $60,000 to $132,000.

The committee will also be spending thousands more in travel reimbursement and the use of an agency for hospitalist recruitment.

to a model that employs hospitalists to provide those services will allow family physicians to do “other things in the community, such as palliative care, hospice care [and] nursing home care,” she said.

Family physicians are also “under pressure” from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care “to provide better access to their primary care,” Smith said, so having specialists assume their in-hospital duties will free up the doctors‘ time to do just that.

Earlier this year CMH hired Dr. Ghias Butt as a hospitalist and Smith said in an interview she has recruited another half-dozen locum internal medicine specialists so family physicians can have weekends off.

She‘s hoping to have complete weekend coverage in place by June and that some of the recruited locums will be willing to take on “seven-day stretches.” The work plan is for a complement of up to four hospitalists.

“The family physicians will still be supporting this hospital in other ways,” Smith emphasized. “It‘s not like they‘re abandoning the hospital.”

And they can continue to see in-patients if they wish, she added.

Smith said there‘s “a cascade of benefits” that will flow from employing specialists, such as having them help out with admissions in the emergency department, which will “take the pressure off the emergency doctor having to do that.”

Madoc Thrift Store donates $26,000 to local agencies

By Diane Sherman

Madoc - The thrift store in Madoc is hosting a community appreciation day Saturday, May 14, to welcome those who shop, donate and volunteer.

The Thrift Store has been taking in second-hand goods since 1987, and

each year they donate their profits to help those in need.

The original mandate was to support victims of domestic abuse, but in 2008 they changed it to support a broader range of organizations, becoming Centre Hastings Community Support and Education Incorporated.

Last summer, the shop moved into the Wilson’s of Madoc building, becoming part of Madoc’s main shopping area.

One dollar at a time, profits mounted. This year they donated $26,000 to 11 local agencies.

Sherry Sanders wants to top that

NEED HELP WITH YOUR

HOME IMPROVEMENTS NEEDS? We invite you to our

number. Since she came on as the new shop co-ordinator in Sept. of 2015, she has made some changes she hopes will increase profits.

“We’ve moved the clothing downstairs, and introduced a retro-rack of vintage styles, and everything is clearly marked with prices. People know what they’re paying.”

Often new clothes arrive with price tags still on them, never worn, so Sanders created a “new rack” where budget shoppers will find clothes valued at $40 for under $10. Just to raise the bar, she created a glass case of valuable collectibles set up for auction.

Shoppers can check the bidder’s

book and up their bids as they want.

Teens will find clothing upstairs, with sports equipment, arts/craft supplies, small appliances and a large selection of bedding, linens and kitchen ware and a full Christmas section.

“The continuing support of this community, people donating and volunteering, is what makes the store work,” Sanders confirmed. “Our volunteers all have a great time, we laugh a lot, and we can always use more help.”

The Thrift Store is governed by a board of directors who select applicants for donations, using specific guidelines to meet their mandate.

Each cause is individually reviewed.

Local budgets tighten to meet policing costs

Central Hastings Trent Hills News - Thursday, April 28, 2016

Madoc - Residents of both Madoc Township and Centre Hastings will see the impact of policing costs in the 2016 budget.

The township had an actual cost of $254,157 last year for policing. It has gone up by 21.93 per cent, $55,000, which will impact the tax rate for the population of 2,044 residents.

Centre Hastings, with a population of just under 4,500 people, is looking at close to a $145,000 increase in their share of policing costs.

That amount makes up 4.2 per cent of the overall budget, which council and staff have been trying to make up from other sectors.

Both municipalities have been working over the past four months to determine their priorities.

Madoc Township has not planned any major road construction this year, simply because there are no funds. They will focus instead on upgrading equipment, doing more

roadside brushing, road maintenance and preparing for potential, future road improvements.

Centre Hastings chopped a little from the operating budget of each department, and will implement a few user-fee increases in the parks and recreation sector.

Council’s final budget will necessarily raise the tax rate, with an overall tax increase of 4.74 per cent and 0.60 per cent average increase in property assessments, bringing it to a rate of 5.34 per cent.

Throughout the year, they plan to hold public meetings to consult with residents on implementing cost-cutting strategies and possibly bringing in user-pay fees for various services.

Their final budget should have come forward April 27 at the regular council meeting and will be available for public review shortly afterwards.

Madoc Township Council has a public budget meeting scheduled prior to their regular meeting on May 4.

Spring planting excitement on Earth Day at Marmora Nursery School

By Margriet Kitchen Marmora - Teacher Linda Gee of the Marmora Children’s Nursery Centre was excited to invite Joan Morton, past president of the Tweed Horticulural Society, to show the children about the growth of plants.

“Joan showed the children and staff the parts of the plants, and how to plant them. During the planting experience, she set up a science experiment for us to see how roots develop on a plant while in water as well as how plants grow in a terrarium. The highlight for the children was the centrepieces they

made out of recycled tin cans, artificial flowers and cedar. It was a great experience for everyone,” said Gee. “It was quite exciting here today. Really, the kids wanted to learn. They really enjoy the hands-on experience with arranging. We planted onions, and I’m planning to come back at the beginning of June and will help get the garden going,” said Joan.

Joan has been gardening in the Tweed area all her life on the family farm. Her family used to have a roadside farm-gate market stand. Joan explained that the main purpose of the Horticultural Society is to educate people in flowers and vegetables.

PET of ThE WEEK! Kittens will soon be available for adoption.

Kitten season is here and these beautiful babies will be available for adoption when they are 8 weeks old.

Their mom is taking good care of them and is such a good mom. They are still very young so they need more time with their mom before they can be adopted.

Tweed horticulturalist Joan Morton shows a few of the Marmora Nursery School children the texture, colours and shape of the Prayer Plant she brought along on Earth Day, April 22.

Celebrate Havelock ready to soar May 7

By Bill Freeman Havelock – Celebrate Havelock is closing in on its 10th anniversary, but will first welcome over 1,000 guests and another 60 exhibitors to its ninth show at the HBM Community Centre.

The Mother’s Day (May 7) event is one of the area’s great success stories, and has grown steadily since it was conceived and organized by Linda and Cliff Clark of the HBM Chamber of Commerce. The Clarks passed the torch to a stand-alone volunteer committee after watching it take flight.

“As the 10th arrives, we

certainly want to do something to acknowledge their hard work,” says committee member and HBM Economic Development Officer Brian Grattan. “Without them, the event wouldn’t have started.”

“Having a committee and lots of volunteers involved has certainly helped grow the show for sure,” said Grattan.

“With the amount of people who come through the door each year, it’s a little more inviting for exhibitors,” he adds.

In its first few years, the show drew 200 to 300 people. Now it easily tops 1,000.

The committee has added two new gold sponsors: Eastlink and Cool 100.1.

The Central Hastings-Trent Hills News is also a sponsor.

Eastlink is sponsoring the outdoor tent in the ball park featuring entertainment through the day. The Eastlink Experience will welcome the Norwood District High Guitar Band, Missy Knott, The Next Generation Seaboyer Band and Dean James.

There will also be indoor entertainment in the Lions Community Hall by the Havelock Jam-

mers and Kitchen Kuties.

Additional outdoor vendors will set up around the enclosed tent.

“We seem to have a good mix of indoor and outdoor exhibitors,” says Grattan. “We try to grow it every year.”

Once again, prize offerings are very generous and include a $3,000 Milwaukie power tool package donated by Unimin.

“It’s great to see that it’s our local businesses that are making the show happen, so we stay true to celebrate Havelock,” says Grattan. “We

really haven’t had to go too far to find new businesses, because our local business community supports the show quite well.”

Grattan says it’s not all about “making a sale” but networking, showing off wares and making connections.

“It’s grown by leaps and bounds, and the reach is now well beyond the township. It’s a way to tell the whole story of what’s in HBM.” A bus will circulate around town to transport visitors to the centre.

The event runs from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.

Norwood high school ‘Friends’ watched school board’s Lakefield review closely

By Bill Freeman Norwood – The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board’s narrow decision to approve a recommendation to “consolidate” Lakefield District Secondary School with Thomas A. Stewart in Peterborough, was monitored closely by the Community Friends of Norwood District High School.

Another “small enrolment” high school, NDHS is slated for an accommodation review itself sometime this fall, so the Community Friends of NDHS watched intently as the LDSS accommodation review unfolded.

The KPR board also agreed to repurpose the LDSS building into a K-8 school.

“We can certainly learn a lot from the things that were received positively, as well as advantages that we have,” Friends chair Verna Shackleton said.

There’s some optimism because in the KPR’s long-term accommodation plan for 2015-2020, the board outlined three options for NDHS: establishing a Kindergarten to Grade 12 school at the site, creating a Grade 7 to 12 school or closing the school and shifting students to Peterborough or Campbellford, depending on where they live.

There were no options other than consolidation listed for LDSS. NDHS, built in 1950, has an enrolment of just under 300 students in the 681-capacity building. The board estimates enrolment will drop to a low of 277 in 2020 with a spike upwards to 303 by 2024. In 2010 there were 383 students.

“One of the key points regarding the NDHS process, is that the initial staff recommendation is for NDHS morphing into a JK-12 facility from Grade 9 to 12,” adds township councillor Debbie Lynch, a regular attendee at KPR board and LDSS

review meetings.

“I see this as a huge positive for Norwood versus the Lakefield scenario, where the staff recommendation never varied from the close LDSS scenario,” Lynch said.

Lynch strongly favours the K-12 option.

“I believe it’s essential the NDHSNDPS communities get onside with the K-12 model and discover the many positive benefits it offers our community,” she says.

That option keeps a high school in the Norwood-Havelock-Hastings area, she says, and would help “build more respect for different age groups within the school community.

“It will allow the board to provide the full spectrum of JK-12 in one facility [and] shifting to a JK-12 facility would allow students to stay in Norwood and go to high school there, versus having two separate buildings to maintain.”

There’s growth in elementary numbers in both Norwood and Havelock, Lynch points out, and she’s hopeful that translates into growth at the high school level.

“I see the process as a positive not negative.”

Renovating NDHS and allowing the elementary students to share space would be a “very positive outcome” for the community, Lynch added.

ATVs on Trent Hills roads having no impact on public safety

By John Campbell Trent Hills - Allowing all-terrain vehicles on municipal roads “appears to have had little effect” on policing in Trent Hills last year, according to an analysis done by Northumberland OPP at council‘s request.

And opening up public roads to ATVs “does not appear to have had any impact on public safety,” added Constable Jody Albert in a report he prepared for the period following the implementation of the bylaw June 15 to the end of November.

Of the 13 occurrences involving ATVs that turned up in his search of the records, only one was related to the new bylaw, which resulted in charges for operating an ATV between dusk and dawn, a $200 fine, and having a modified exhaust system, a $150 fine.

One individual was charged with several offences related to the operation of an ATV but “those charges would have been laid regardless” of the new bylaw, Albert said.

In that incident, the OPP received complaints of an ATV being driven erratically in and around Campbellford. “The driver refused to stop and fled” when approached by police but he was arrested later and charged with a half-dozen Highway Traffic Act offences. Three more charges were laid under the Off-road Vehicle Act. Nappan Island subdivision moving forward The 65-unit residential development proposed for Nappan Island took another step forward April 5 with council‘s approval of an Official Plan amendment that allows it to go ahead.

The subdivision had been the subject of two public meetings, and “it was apparent” after the last one in December “that most questions and issues” raised by residents in the area “had been resolved,” director of planning Jim Peters said in a report to council recommending approval of the amendment.

The units will be built in two phases on a 127-hectare (315-acre) property with shoreline frontage on Lake Seymour.

The recreation-based development includes 35 hectares (87 acres) of protected lands, three access points to water and 2.1 kilometres of new roads.

Thirty-four of the units will be for permanent residents.

The development will be the first in North America by the owner of the property, a numbered company with international roots.

Foundation to celebrate 15th anniversary with new grants and a scholarship

By John Campbell Campbellford – As the Campbellford/ Seymour Community Foundation prepares to celebrate its 15th anniversary May 5, board members and staff can take pride in knowing their work “has touched the lives of practically every resident in Trent Hills” through the issuing of grants.

Those grants, given out annually, will reach the $3.3 million mark when the latest round is announced at the annual general meeting that will take place at the Hastings Field House on Elgin Street.

It‘s a long list of recipients, 56 to be exact, that have received funding over the years, for 289 projects, most of which involved improving parks, playgrounds,

schools, sports facilities, theatres, municipal buildings, the hospital, churches, halls and much more.

The grant money has also been used to give young people a voice in the community (Youth Advisory Council) and jobs in the summer – 43 including this year.

The foundation started out with $6.2 million it was given when the former municipality of Campbellford-Seymour sold its hydro-electric generating station and turned over the proceeds. Half of the amount was allocated for use by the municipality.

Through prudent investments, the foundation has grown the original endowment to $6.8 million as of Dec. 31, 2015 – after having spent more than $5 million

over the years to fund projects, purchase a home, and cover management fees and operational costs.

“It‘s been nice that we‘ve been able to share those resources that were originally entrusted to us,” executive director Martha Murphy said. “The goal was to benefit the residents of the community in whatever way, shape or form that is meaningful to them, [and] we‘ve definitely done that.”

The foundation will be asking residents for their feedback this summer in a series of surveys, “so that we can see what direction the community will want us to go in,” and find out how well people think we‘re doing, she said.

“We can be flexible in what we do.”

Fire hall doors to be widened to make it safer for trucks exiting the building

By John Campbell Trent Hills -- The municipality will use $20,000 in reserves to cover the deductible for an insurance claim it made to help pay for rebuilding the fire station in Warkworth, that was badly damaged March 16 by a pumper exiting the building.

It wasn’t the first time it’s happened.

“On three different occasions, damage has been caused to Fire Station #3 from upper compartment doors [on a vehicle] being left open,” Fire Chief Tim Blake said in a report to council April 19.

Given “the history surrounding the accidents involving the building and the narrow door widths,” he recommended widening the doors by two feet to 14 feet and installing two steel posts and a beam to “secure the front of the structure to the roofing component” and to make “exiting the building safer.”

Blake said there is “limited clearance” for the pumper leaving the building because of its mirrors. Making the opening wider “will mitigate future damage from vehicles exiting as well as allow for growth,” he said.

The cost of repairs was estimated at a minimum of $25,000. The fire department was advised by its insurance company that the “small claim ... will not have a significant impact, if any, on the municipal premium at time of policy renewal,” Blake stated.

Mayor Hector Macmillan asked if widening the door is going to help, saying it‘s “not the truck‘s problem.”

Blake said the firefighters “feel shame” for what had happened and he noted the pumper will be replaced in 2019 with one that has roll-up doors.

Macmillan responded that as long as the firefighters continue to use the current model, even if they get “through the

hole” with the compartment doors on the vehicle open, “it doesn‘t stop them from hitting somebody in the street or hitting another car.”

Are “the drivers going to start following the law,” which requires they do “a circle check” of the vehicle before departing, he asked.

“I think they will now,” Blake said.

“It was an accident, it can happen to anyone,” interjected Councillor Rick English, a long-time member of the volunteer fire department.

“But it‘s the third one,” the mayor countered, noting “truck driver train-

ing says you circle the truck before you get in ... I‘m not blaming anybody, I just want to make [sure] the problem‘s been resolved.”

Blake said he had made clear to the firefighters: “This is bad, you can‘t keep doing this. I think we got that point across.”

Most fire departments are replacing their fleet with vehicles with roll-up doors because they, like Trent Hills, were finding it “was a big problem,” he said in an interview.

“It happens more than you think,” he said. “We‘re switching all ours over gradually. We got three left [to do].”

Two new grants to commemorate the 15th anniversary will be announced May 5, a $1,500 Acorn grant to go to an organization that has never applied for one, and a $15,000 Oak Tree Partnership grant.

The first recipient of the Joseph Rudolf Marth Memorial Scholarship will also be announced. Murphy created the

Norwood Knights show true archery form

By Bill Freeman Norwood – In just their first full year as an archery team, Norwood District High will send three athletes to the Ontario High School Archery Festival in Richmond Hill, May 18-19.

Zoe Burnett, one of the finest youth archers in the province, returns to defend her provincial title after placing first in the Flight A girls recurve at the Kawartha championships hosted by Saugeen Shafts at Morrow Park in Peterborough. Mike Burtt placed second in the boys Flight A compound bow.

Megan Wilson will also travel to Richmond Hill for the provincial final.

Last year Burnett and Nathan

Ellwood represented NDHS as solo athletes at the festival. Burnett fought off the effects of flu to take top spot.

Archery is one of several OFSAA “festival” sports vying to earn status as a fully sanctioned sport.

The sport has taken root at NDHS with 23 students participating in Kawartha League action every week at Saugeen Shafts.

“It’s going to be a lot better [now] because we might be able to get a team score,” coach Linda Coons said. “Zoe is used to shooting independently, but it was kind of nice to have some of your peers there.”

Coons is thrilled by Wilson’s progress.

“She went from never shooting before to qualifying. That’s an awesome thing. She just caught on to it. She’s consistent. She’s focused.”

Some NDHS students have their own equipment and through the National Archery School’s Program (NASP), the school has bought 12 compound bows, a drop curtain, arrows and targets and have teachers certified. The NASP covered half the cost.

Conns says that through “the grapevine” she has heard there are youth who might be interested in attending NDHS, because it offers archery.

“We thought it was something that we should push and make a priority at our school. We did and

we had a good team.”

The set up in the Morrow building was perfect, Coons said, and gave competitors a taste of what it will be like at the huge Richmond Green Sports Centre.

“Hopefully we can get even more Norwood students next year and continue with it.”

Coons would love to see archery fully sanctioned by OFSAA, but thinks that will happen only when more northern schools jump into the sport. Archery flourishes in the south and continues to grow.

While brushing is very effective at removing plaque and food debris from your teeth, a toothbrush simply cannot effectively clean all of the surfaces of your teeth.

In particular, the spaces between your teeth are difficult, if not impossible to clean properly by brushing alone.

This can mean that people who brush regularly are still very susceptible to cavities and gum infections in these areas.

Campbellford Minor Hockey hands out the hardware to coaches and volunteers

By Sue Dickens Campbellford – There was no back-checking, no blocking, no elbowing and definitely no penalties. It was all about hand passes and playmakers, as the Campbellford Colts Minor Hockey Association (CMHA) honoured coaches and volunteers at their annual appreciation dinner.

The presentation of awards was the highlight of the evening, as the hockey season wraps up for another year.

Coach of the Year winner was Glen Patfield, head coach of the Atom LL team.

The Vince Doherty Memorial Manager of the Year award was presented to Connie Clifford, manager of the Novice Rep team, by Dianne Craig, whose father, the late Vince Doherty, was a big supporter of Campbellford minor hockey.

The Jim Crothers Award, given to a member of the CMHA who has demonstrated an exceptional contribution to the “grass roots” hockey program, was presented to Brad Myers, head coach of the Initiation program.

The Co-operators Cup Team Management Award went to the volunteers for the Bantam Rep team: Seamus McDougall, head coach; Deryk Robertson, trainer; Kevin Brahaney, coach; and Justin Airhart, manager.

“This year, every person in this room tonight helped 213 minor hockey players. That’s the total enrolment this year in the program,” said Mike Sherwin, registrar and treasurer.

“We had 37 bench staff, 33 coaches and 12 teams. All that compiled a very successful year for Campbellford Minor Hockey,” Sherwin said.

“The teams going deep into playoffs made a good run, and even though not maybe getting the OMHA championship, they still had a very solid season with a marked improvement in all the players,” he added.

“And that’s really what it’s all about. It’s really nice to win, but it’s really nice to see the improvement that individual players and team players have made over the course of the year and that’s due to the dedication of the coaches.”

Golden Hawks are Buckland Cup Champions, off to the Dudley-Hewitt Cup

By Erin Stewart

Trenton – The Trenton Golden Hawks made franchise history last Friday night when they beat the Georgetown Raiders 2-1, clinching the championship series 4-1, to become Ontario Junior Hockey League champions and take home the Frank L. Buckland Trophy.

More than 1,200 G-Hawks fans sold out the Duncan Memorial Community Gardens to watch their team make Golden Hawks history as the first ever team under the Golden Hawks banner to win the OJHL championship series, take home the Buckland Cup and now move on to the Dudley-Hewitt Cup, where their first opponent will be the Soo Thunderbirds.

G-Hawks super fan Wayne Baril was given the chance to raise the Buckland Trophy by the team after the big win.

He cried tears of joy and said he is so proud of his favourite team.

“I feel on cloud nine right now… this team is in my sleep. I’m so proud of everybody in this organization, I’m really proud, this team is number one,” Baril said, breaking into tears.

Trenton Golden Hawks’ star goaltender Daniel Urbani was named the 2015-2016 Playoff MVP and presented with the Brent Ladds Trophy

by OJHL Commissioner Marty Savoy.

G-Hawks relied on the fantastic performance of Urbani in net to grab the 2-1 win against the Georgetown Raiders.

The Raiders started off strong, scoring the first goal of the night.

Josh Dickinson scored the team’s only goal six minutes into the first period, assisted by Daniel Hardie.

G-Hawks Lucas Brown tied the game three minutes into the second period with a goal assisted by Hunter Fargey and Josh Allan.

Ben Scheel scored the G-Hawks’ game-winning goal two minutes into the third, assisted by Nick Boddy.

Urbani stopped 26 shots out of the 27

he faced and Andrew Masters made 25 saves on 27 shots for the Raiders.

“I feel ecstatic, we had a great year and it’s a great way to cap off the great year,” said G-Hawks coach Jerome Dupont. “We’ve worked really hard and we’ve been consistent with that and I think that’s one of the reasons we’re successful.”

Dupont said the entire G-Hawks team is a great group of young men.

“I love them, they’re great,” he said.

“There’s great chemistry and that chemistry goes a long way.”

John McDonald, director of hockey operations and recipient of the OJHL’s Executive of the Year Award, said it’s been a long road and he just couldn’t get over the moment of winning the Buckland Cup. “We just played one of the greatest hockey clubs this league has produced

in a lot of years and we beat them, I just can’t believe it,” McDonald said.

McDonald said Raiders’ goaltender Masters only allowed six goals in five games; something he said just goes to show how fantastic Urbani is.

“Getting him was our prize and then the supporting cast around him has just been brilliant,” McDonald said.

“They’re just a real together group, that’s what makes them special, they’re a team.”

Urbani said the feeling was surreal in the moments following his MVP award and hoisting the Buckland Cup in front of the G-Hawks fans.

“It feels really good, it was a team effort, the guys in front of me at the end there were blocking shots in front of me and it was unbelievable,” said Urbani. “We knew we could go all the way and that’s what we did.”

The G-Hawks will now move on to the Dudley-Hewitt Cup, Central Canadian Junior “A” Championship, from May 3 to May 7, in Kirkland Lake.

The round robin tournament will include the G-Hawks as the OJHL champions, the Kirkland Lake Gold Minors as the selected host team, the Soo Thunderbirds as the champions of the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League and the Fort Frances Lakers, the champions of the Superior International Junior Hockey League.

The champion of the Dudley will move on as the central seed to play at the Royal Bank Cup, the Canadian Junior “A” Championship, which gets under way May 14 in Lloydminster.

Go online to help military families in MFRC auction

By Ross Lees The Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC) Invisible Ribbon Gala online auction is thriving once again this year after a fantastic introductory year last year.

This year’s auction began on Thursday, April 21, runs for 12 days and concludes on May 2. More than 100 items will likely be listed in the auction on Facebook before it ends, online auction coordinator Joanna Cronk estimated.

“Last year, we raised $2,400 from 40 items,” Cronk said. “This year,

we have close to 100 items and stuff is still coming in, so we hope our proceeds will increase accordingly.”

Bidding began on April 21 (Invisibleribbononlineauction2016) and no pre-bids were allowed. Bidding ends on May 2 and items must be picked up and paid for at the MFRC no later than May 6 at noon. Items can be paid for using cash, debit or credit card, although no personal cheques will be allowed. There is no delivery of items. Links for the online auction can be found on the MFRC website, all MFRC social media sites and on the Invisible Ribbon Gala website.

Items in this year’s online auction include something for everyone, ranging in price from $20 up to $500 and include jeweler, clothing, household items, gift baskets, art, home, pet care and gift certificates for a variety of things including restaurants, personal care (chiro, massage, reflexology), photography sessions, shows, events, wine tours and wills.

“Stuff will be added to the auction throughout the period it runs to keep people coming back,” said. Cronk.

“We are having new stuff donated all the time.”

Response to this year’s auction has

already resulted in 230 participants signing up, the total signed up for all of last year.

“We’re hoping for 500 participants this year,” added MFRC Communications and Development Co-ordinator Devon Taylor.

Stefani Wolf, the special events coordinator for the MFRC added that there was a lot of variety in the items and she hoped the increase in item volume would result in a similar increase in proceeds.

“All proceeds from this year’s auction go to the 12th Annual Invisible Ribbon Gala in support of the

MFRC expansion,” said Taylor.

Taking place on May 7 at the National Air Force Museum of Canada, this year’s gala is themed around the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP) with a 1940s theme that will add atmosphere to the event.

Tickets are already virtually sold out three weeks in advance of the event, to the delight of the organizers.

Major-General D.L.R. Wheeler, 1 Canadian Air Division (1 CAD) Commander is the guest speaker for this annual MFRC fundraiser.

MFRC Communications and Development Co-ordinator Devon Taylor, online auction coordinator Joanna Cronk, and Stefani Wolf, the special events coordinator for the MFRC display just a few of the many items that will be featured on the Invisible Ribbon Gala online auction beginning April 21 and running through to May 2.

Man has vehicle seized after driving it into the ditch twice

By Terry McNamee

Stirling—When the Quinte Region Traffic Coalition (QRTC) conducted their “Big Four” enforcement blitz on April 21, they didn’t expect to charge one man twice on the same day for the same infraction.

Const. Scott Preston of the Stirling-Rawdon Police Service said the QRTC traffic blitz last Thursday was focused on aggressive driving, impaired driving, distracted driving and failing to wear seatbelts throughout Hastings and Prince Edward Counties. A total of 163 charges were laid throughout the region during the oneday campaign.

The OPP Highway Safety Division found a 61-year-old man who had driven his car into a ditch on an area side road. An ambulance was called and, after it was determined that the driver was not impaired and had not suffered a medical emergency such as diabetic shock, the undamaged vehicle was towed out of the ditch.

The man was charged with careless driving.

Six hours later, the OPP found the same vehicle with the same driver in a ditch on the same road.

This time, the man’s vehicle was seized and he was charged with another count of careless driving and given a summons to attend court.

The rest of the day’s traffic charges included 113 speeding tickets, seven seatbelt infractions, two distracted driving offences due to cell phone use, two suspended drivers and 39 other Highway Traffic Act offences.

“Although the campaign is over, the QRTC reminds motorists that police will continue to conduct scheduled enforcement blitzes,” Preston said. “Motorists should be aware of their driving behaviours and make adjustments in their driving habits.”

The Quinte Region Traffic Coalition is a partnership of Hastings Prince Edward Public Health, Belleville Police Service, Stirling-Rawdon Police Service, 21 Military Police Flight, Napanee Highway Safety Division and the Bancroft, Central Hastings, Napanee, Prince Edward County and Quinte West OPP detachments.

Dear Editor

Gala shot – Guns `r Us?

I’m not clear as to your intention for putting a photo of a gun toting (guest?) attending the Hospice Quinte Gala, on the front cover of the April 14th Connected community weekly. Was Dean Lindsay on security detail? Is he a detective that forgot his jacket? A thug?

This photo is the kind of thing I would expect to see in a Guns R Us publication from south

of the border. Did it grab my attention? Yup! But so would crime scene photos of a murder victim. Leave out the sensationalist content, please. The community will continue to read your publication because we like to know what’s happening around town and in small town Ontario we like to see the ads too.

Master playwright to perform at Stirling

By Jack Evans It’s hard to imagine a live theatre fan who has not heard of Canadian playwright Norm Foster. This theatre icon has so far written several dozen successful comedy plays and most of them are being performed at least somewhere almost any day of the year. He is credited with being Canada’s “most performed” playwright.

That is substantiated by the fact that some 150 of his plays are being performed each year on a world-wide basis.

That being said, one of his most recent works called “On a First Name Basis,” comes to the Stirling Festival Theatre for a five-day run

May 4-8. In the finest tradition of Shakespeare, who frequently acted in his own shows, Foster is the key character in this comedy, playing the Stirling stage for the first time, or any stage in the Quinte area for that matter.

The show opens with a matinee on Wednesday, May 4 at 2 p.m. followed by an 8 p.m. show with a pre-show dinner optional. The show also plays at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Friday, May 6. On Thursday, May 5 and Sunday, May 8 the show plays at 2 p.m. only.

On Saturday, May 7 the show plays only at 8 p.m.

Tickets are $24 for members, $26 for seniors, $28 for non-members plus $25 for a pre-show dinner. For

tickets or information, call (613) 3952100 or toll-free 1-877-312-1162, or visit the website: www.stirlingfestivaltheatre.com.

In a telephone interview, Foster said the show is about a spy story writer who has had the services of a maid for 28 years but he knows nothing about her, while she knows everything about him. On one special night, he decides it is time to find out for himself, leading to a two-hour, drunken conversation full of laughs and tears.

A number of Foster’s works have been performed by various amateur and professional companies across the area over many years. The Belleville

Theatre Guild, for instance, is mounting a repeat performance of his play, “The Melville Boys,” as part of its next season.

So popular is Foster’s work that a Foster Festival gets under way in St.Catharines this coming June as a permanent new theatre festival.

Foster was born in Newmarket, Ontario, but grew up in the Maritimes, where he got into radio and thence into local amateur theatre, which in turn led to his decision to write plays himself, he said.

As for the humour: “When I was growing up, our family watched a lot of television comedy shows, with greats like Jackie Gleason, Jack

Benny and Milton Berle. That kind of comedy got ingrained in me.”

Starring with Foster is actress Trish Vanstone or Toronto, also making her first appearance on the Stirling stage. ‘I’ve heard many good things about the theatre,” she said, “and I’ve known David Vanderlip (theatre manager) for many years as a good friend.”

She said she and Foster have developed a great stage chemistry as her role of a street-wise girl connecting with the erudite writer. One of Foster’s more recent plays, “On a First Name Basis” has already been widely performed internationally and has proven popular with audiences.

A comedic touch for history of Trenton base

By Jack Evans CFB Trenton’s first 80 years of history provided a wealth of information for air force historian Maj. Bill Arthur in a talk to the Hastings County Historical Society at Belleville’s Maranatha Church.

The speaker, an official air force historian, laced his talk with a generous helping of wit and humour, delighting a large audience. Typical were his comments about paratroopers. “Nobody in their right mind jumps from a serviceable flying aircraft with or without a parachute,” he declared. He had similar quips about landing on an aircraft carrier and his fellow armed services, the army and navy.

He also commented on the solid concrete structures which still stand on the base, part of the community’s requirements for the project to make sure they could not get torn down and moved as so many military bases had. “Now they’re still there and we can’t tear them down even if there

was a good reason because they are designated heritage buildings,” he quipped.

Legends of a deal with the defence department being consummated on the late Senator Fraser’s yacht with a bottle of liquor cannot be substantiated, he said, but there were good reasons also. The air force had been impressed with the Quinte area’s suitability from the First World War flying station at Deseronto, and liked the rural setting combined with good highway access and labour pool for construction and civilian employment.

He talked about the early training aircraft such as Siskins. Many crashed, but there were few fatalities.

Similarly, the bright yellow used for such aircraft was deliberate to make them easy to spot if they crashed, whether in forest or snow.

Almost all of the planes used by the Canadian air force drew colourful nicknames. The famous but illfated Arrow, for instance, was called

a “dart.” He showed a photo of one which actually landed at Trenton, among the many famous aircraft and people that have visited the base over the years.

During the Second World War, CFB Trenton also played a significant role in Hollywood wartime propaganda movies, such as “Captains of the Clouds,” starring James Cagney, with large photos shown on the screen to support this. Also Tyrone Power in “A Yank in the RAF.” The British Commonwealth Air Training Program, he said, was a highlight of the base’s history, drawing thousands of air crew from all over the world for flight and other specialized training. He

credited then-prime minister McKenzie King for spearheading it in the hope of avoiding the horrendous casualties of the First World War. He also did an exercise with the audience to illustrate the massive casualties for Bomber Command, in the Second World War, where only one in three odds were expected for a person to complete their regular number of missions.

For the future, he predicted extensive continuing construction, but nothing much new in aircraft as the money has run out. On average, he noted, “it takes 15 years from the time the air force asks for a specific plane before it is actually purchased.”

He suggested if one were buying a new vehicle today, even gasoline might not be available in 15 years.

Quinte Conservation plans for future

By Jack Evans After existing for several decades and frozen in time in budget restraints for the past several years, Quinte Conservation Board members decided last week it is time to plan for the future.

That, said general manager Terry

Murphy, includes a “succession plan” for staff as well as future facilities, specifically a new headquarters building, now overcrowded with staff and gear from taking in three areas, plus the push for source water protection and the continuing Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan.

The large barn on the property, originally designated for storage, remains in danger of severe damage if not complete loss from high winds, Murphy added, and suggested that if the barn were to be torn down, that space, already on the agency’s property, could be used for a new office headquarters.

His specific request was for a special committee to meet “as soon as possible” and report back to the board with proposals and data. The motion was approved.

Murphy also filled the board in on a festering situation at the popular Vanderwater Conservation Area near Tweed.

The authority learned, by accident, said Murphy, that approximately 400 metres of Moira River shoreline in the Vanderwater Conservation Area is not, in fact, owned by the authority. While, according to official deeds, the land is not in title to Quinte Conservation, the authority has used and managed the area for 40 years. Murphy said the land is connected to a property on the opposite side of the river, the new owner of which is now seeking to reclaim for his use. An immediate impact of this is the annual Scout camp event

held there, which has traditionally used that portion of the park.

Murphy said any offer of purchase to complete the park’s boundaries properly has been rejected and it is a difficult situation. But, for the current summer, the owner has given permission for the Scout camp’s use in return for legal access to his part of the property across Conservation-owned property. Murphy gave no explanation of how the error in the park’s boundaries occurred in the first place.

A report from staffer Christine McClure on this year’s spring runoff showed no serious problems with typical runoff problems and no flood threats.

MPP Todd Smith named Natural Resources and Forestry Critic

The MPP from Prince Edward-Hastings has some new duties on his plate at Queen’s Park. This week, Progressive Conservative Party leader Patrick Brown added the Natural Resources and Forestry portfolio to Todd Smith’s list of responsibilities, which already include his Caucus’ response to the government’s Hydro One sale.

“Obviously, any time you’re given extra responsibilities, it’s an honour.”

Smith stated. “In the wake of a budget that just raised a number of fees for fishing, hunting and camping in 2017, I think it’s important to people in my riding that extra attention be placed on these matters.”

The increase in responsibilities to the PC Caucus comes after a couple particularly busy weeks for Smith at Queen’s Park where he hosted Prince Edward-Hastings Day and led the PC Caucus fight to keep Provincial and

Demonstration Schools open beyond the 2016-17 school year. That includes Belleville’s Sagonaska Demonstration School.

“I think over the last few weeks, we’ve taken on areas beyond the Hydro One sale and shown that we could play a bigger role going forward inside the caucus.”

Smith added. “As I said, it’s a real honour to play a bigger role in the caucus as we look toward hopefully forming government in 2018.”

Smith went on to elaborate on some of the Natu-

ral Resources issues that he’s had to deal with as MPP for Prince EdwardHastings and how dealing with those constituent concerns will help him in his new role.

“Obviously the wind turbine issue in

Prince Edward County has given me some background in endangered species but there have been forestry issues in North Hastings, conservation issues across the riding and the Sandbanks Provincial Park issue in the

County that all touch on my new job.”

Smith concluded. “At the end of the day, it’s about results and that’s what I’m hoping to achieve both for people in Prince Edward-Hastings and now across Ontario on this file.”

Common weeds in Clost’s Commons

By Dan Clost I raked our lawns this past week. All is well including the weeds; in fact, they’re doing quite well.

Actually, now is perhaps the best time to scout your greenswards and winkle out the unwanted squatters. Here are the four most populous in the Clost Common.

Henbit, Lamium amplexicaule, looks like purple dead nettle. The difference between the two is that the latter is not found on our piece of this good earth. Both are members of the mint family- the giveaway is the square stem. The differences, unless you get close, are subtle. Henbit leaves are a bit smaller, sort of scalloped and they have no petioles or leaf stems; they are attached directly to the stalk. The really fancy way to say that is “amplexicaule”, which is the

word you skipped over near the beginning of this paragraph.

Henbit has many uses not the least being a source of pollen and nectar; however, it does not belong in my greensward. Fortunately, it uproots quite easily requiring only a moderate tug. You could look for little plants in the early fall or wait until spring when they’re much easier to spot. No pesticides required.

Dandelion, Taraxacum officinale, has a cheerful yellow flower which youngsters often pick as their first bouquet for mom. Yes, we are familiar with the dandelion but did you know that the cypselae are oblanceoloid shaped and are attached to the pappi? Sure you did; here’s the translation: the fruits are sort of lance shaped (a bit broader at one end) and are stuck to the end of the parachute. So when the wind blows the little ball of cotton, each seed heads off on its own journey. It is often a very short journey- from my upwind neigh-

The QuinteWest News published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!

THE

bour’s yard down to mine. You can eat the leaves in salads, bake the roots and make ersatz coffee and the flowers are often used for wine. When they bloom, you know it is time to sow squash and beans in your garden. Dandelions are useful and pretty but they don’t belong in my lawn. I favour the stand-up claw type weeder. I don’t have to bend over and it requires very little effort.

Diligence would be the watchword; when you see the first hint of yellow, grab the big stick. It is helpful to drop a couple of grass seeds in the now-open space. No pesticides required.

Creeping Charlie, Glechoma hederaceae, has many similarities to henbit except it grows along the ground. The stems are square, the leaves look the same but with petioles, it has a minty smell when crushed and the flowers are blue to purple. This chappy could also be related to Hydra as each chopped up bit left laying on the soil can generate a whole new plant. If you find

this plant in your lawn, do your best to nick it out in the early spring and then grow good grass. Good cultural practices for lawns are not what this weed wants. Diligence is the watch word here, too. . In Ontario, borax is listed as a Class 11 pesticide and can be used for cosmetic purposes. Borax, mixed properly in solution, is effective but you need to be precise with your arithmetic. Too little and you waste your money; too much and you kill more than you want. Also, borax is persistent so should only be used once a year. My preference- doesn’t use borax, use your hoe.

Creeping Bellflower, Campanula rampunculoides, is a bane in our flower beds in spite of the pretty blue flowers. Rob Sproule calls it the Zombie Weed. I’m not really a fan of weed mats but this would be one situation meriting its use. Forget chemicals. When you see the pretty flowers, yank the plant out of the ground and put it into the trash, not the composter.

A visit to the birthplace of watchmaking

By John M. Smith The beautiful, cosmopolitan city of Geneva, Switzerland is located in the southwest corner of the country, on Lake Geneva, near the French border and at the foot of the Jura Mountains. It’s known as “the birthplace of watchmaking”, site of the International Museum of the Red Cross and Red Crescent, and home of the European headquarters of the United Nations. In addition to these points of interest, Geneva has several other unique offerings: 1. Jet d’Eau: Geneva’s main landmark is this giant water fountain that spews out about 500 litres of water per second to an altitude of 140 metres. During high winds, the fountain is shut off – to avoid spectators being drenched!

2. Free Transportation Pass: This is given to all hotel guests in the city, and it includes the lake ferry as well as bus transportation. It’s a great way to welcome tourists!

3. One of the World’s Largest Mechanical Clocks: Since watchmaking is so important in Geneva, you’d expect to find museums depicting the history of watchmaking here, as well as a plethora of watchmakers’ shops. However, you’ll also find one of the world’s largest mechanical clocks, with a pendulum that’s 30 metres in length, in the lobby of Geneva’s Hotel Cornavin. You’ll also be able to stroll by a very popular Flower

Clock in this city, with 6500 flowers in the dial – and the world’s longest seconds-hand!

4. Brunswick Memorial: The Duke of Brunswick bequeathed his fortune to the city in exchange for this impressive mausoleum that was built here in 1879 in neo-gothic style.

A statue of the duke on horseback sat atop this monument, but it was moved from here for safety reasons.

5. Sisi Statue: It’s erected in memory of Elisabeth, the longest-reigning Empress of Austria and also the Queen of Hungary, who was stabbed to death while visiting Geneva on Sept. 10, 1898. She died in her hotel room in the Beau-Rivage later that day as a result of the wound that she’d received while out walking, and this memorial statue is located directly opposite this hotel.

6. Broken Chair Sculpture: It’s erected by Handicap International at the entrance to the Palais des Nations (European headquarters of the United Nations), and the broken leg symbolizes an opposition to land mines and cluster bombs.

7. St. Peter’s Cathedral: It was built in the 12th century, on top of archaeological sites that date back to the first century, and it was eventually transformed from a Roman Catholic Church to a Protestant place of worship in the 16th century (during the Reformation). John Calvin preached here from 1536 – 1564, and the austere looking, stripped interior of the then Protestant Church reflected his Re-

formist teachings.

8. The Reformation Wall: This historic monument depicts the main figures of the Protestant Reformation, including John Calvin and John Knox, and they’re carved directly into the old city walls. A motto is inscribed in Latin: “Post Tenebras Lux” (which translates as “After darkness, light”).

9. Calvinus Beer: This unfiltered, organic brew is now available in local supermarkets and bars. What would Calvin himself have thought about this?

10. Promenade de la Treille: It claims to have “the largest bench in the world” (126 metres) and offers great views over the Promenade des Bastions.

11. Newspaper Stands: They trust locals and tourists here, for the newsstands have a price posted, but the doors are not locked. People are expected to pay and then take a newspaper from the open box - and, yes, it seems to work!

12. The Celebration of L’Escalade: On Dec. 11, 1602, a woman named Mere Royaume poured a cauldron of piping-hot vegetable soup over the head of an enemy soldier who was trying to scale a city wall and invade Geneva on behalf of the Duke of Savoy. The invasion failed, and the event is still celebrated annually – with a torch-lit procession in historic cos- Gazing up at the towering mechanical clock in Geneva’s Hotel Cornavin. tumes and a huge bonfire in Cathedral Square.

Awards scant for local theatre groups

By Jack Evans Belleville Theatre Guild participants returned from the annual Eastern Ontario Drama League competition with two awards.

The result is likely to be somewhat disappointing for local theatre fans as the BTG has traditionally been hugely successful at this event, not only for Belleville, but other Quinte area amateur theatre groups.

This year though, stiff competition was fielded by Northumberland Players with “Boeing Boeing,” and host Peterborough Theatre Guild with “Of the Fields Lately.”

Belleville’s entry drew two awards though, Outstanding Student Contribution to Gian Paulo Lattanzio for stage manager and Meaghan Lattanzio as Best Cameo Performance in the local guild’s entry, “Later Life.”

Northumberland Players scooped up four awards: Best Production, Best Costuming, Best Visual Presentation, and Best Actress in a Major Role.

Host Peterborough took six awards with their pro-

duction of “Of the Fields Lately:”- Adjudicator Award, Set Design, Acting Excellence,, Best Actor in Major Role, Best Use of Speech, and Best Production of a Canadian Play.

Prince Edward Theatre won an Adjudicator’s Award for “Time Stands Still,” as well as an award for Acting Excellence to Karry Cole.

Meanwhile, the BellevilleTheatre Guild has announced its program for the new 2016-17 season, starting with another evening of one-act plays Aug. 31-Sept. 3. Then Oct. 13-29 is the blockbuster “On Golden Pond..” The classic comedy, “Arsenic and Old Lace” plays Dec. 1-17 followed by another staging of the Canadian hit comedy, “The Melville Boys,” Feb. 2-18. Based on the famous Jane Austen novel, “Pride and Prejudice” comes alive on the Pinnacle Playhouse stage March 30-April 15. The season closes with the traditional musical, next year’s being “Little Shop of Horrors,” a hilarious chiller. For details: www.bellevilletheatreguild.ca

Source protection QHC staff promotes committee has vacancy organ donations April, apart from signalling spring, is officially “Be A Donor Month,” to encourage more donations of vitally needed organs and tissue. Such donations can mean the difference between life and death for thousands of Canadians every year.

In the forefront of this promotion are staff members of Quinte Health Care, most of whom have already signed up to donate their organs or soon will be, through the Trillium Gift of Life Network.

The network co-ordinates organ and tissue donations for transplantation across Ontario. Quinte Health Care became a “designated” hospital in June of 2014, QHC officials explained. Prior to this status, there were often delays between time of death and knowledge of organ donations.

Sarah Corkey, manage of QHC’ss intensive care unit, said that since the relations hip began, “Staff have really become engaged and the results are phenomenal.

This last quarter , we realized a 93 per cent notification of deaths to Trillium Gift of Life network, which means that nearly all potential donors are being considered at the time of death.” She expanded: “Between April and December of last year we

B20

Section B - Thursday, April 28, 2016

had four organ donors where eight people benefitted and from April of last year to last February we had 28 eye donors from three of our hospitals – Belleville General, North Hastings and Trenton Memorial. These donors, over the years, have changed the lives of countless recipients.”

Trillium Gift of Life officials note that “one organ and tissue donor can save up to eight lives and enhance 75 others through the gift of tissue.” But, they note, this is not possible “without our hospital partners which make such transplants possible.”

Hospital employees encourage other citizens to get involved in this life-saving effort by registering their consent online with the QHC campaign page at: www. beadonor.ca/quintehealth care. All that is required is one’s health care card. “You can also visit this page to check the status of your current situation concerning organ donations,” said Dr. Carolyn Tram, critical care physician at QHC Belleville General Hospital. She added that so far, only 29 per cent of Ontarians are registered. “It is extremely challenging to have enough organs to meet the demands of the patients in need who are out there,” she said.

The search is on for a new member of the Quinte Region Source Protection Committee who can represent small business and small industry in the Quinte region. The Committee vacancy was discussed at the Quinte Conservation Source Protection Authority meeting on April 21, 2016.

The Source Protection committee has produced several reports since its formation in 2007 including the provincially approved Source Protection Plan. The plan contains policies setting out how 11 local municipal drinking water sources are to be protected. Implementation of the Plan began January 1, 2015.

“We are looking for someone with experience and knowledge in the small business or small industry sector who has an interest in protecting drinking water sources,” explains Keith Taylor, Source Water Protection Project Manager at Quinte Conservation.

“Among other qualifications this position requires a multi-year commitment, an ability to understand scientific and technical reports, and attendance at the two or more Source Protec-

tion Committee meetings held each year. Applicants must also live or work in the Quinte region,” adds Taylor.

The successful candidate will fill one of five economic sector seats on the committee; along with two representatives from agriculture and one each from large business/large industry and tourism/recreation. The committee also includes a chair, five municipal and five public representatives, two First Nations members and three non-voting liaison members. The committee makeup is set out in provincial regulation under the Clean Water Act, 2006.

Future work of the committee includes the review of new scientific and technical information to ensure that the Source Protection Plan and its supporting reports remain current and relevant; and amending and updating documents as required by the Clean Water Act, 2006.

Taylor advises anyone wishing more information to contact him at Quinte Conservation, 613-968-3434 extension 114, or check the official notice posted at QuinteSourceWater.ca.

Loyalist grad rate continues strong at 87.4 % Belleville – A Loyalist College education continues to offer a great chance at finding work, according to provincial job placement figures.

College officials said they are pleased with Provincial Key Performance Indicator results released recently by Ontario Colleges.

They show that 87.4 per cent of Loyalist’s most recent graduates found employment within six months of graduation. That’s above the provincial average of 83.6 per cent.

“We are very pleased with this outstanding result,” said Loyalist President Maureen Piercy. “The college has a strong tradition in graduate employment. Loyalist grads have always achieved high placement rates relative to the college system, and once again this year our results are above the provincial average, and right at the top in Eastern Ontario.”

Other KPI results for Loyalist show strong satisfaction rates above the provincial average for graduate satisfaction (81.6 vs. 80.3), employer satisfaction (92.2 vs. 91.4), and student satisfaction (79.4 vs 76.8).

The graduation rate of 66.7 percent is equal to the provincial result.

“We review the annual KPI results as part of our continuous improvement process,” said Piercy. “While there are always opportunities for improvement, the results this year really speak to the excellence of college programming, teaching and the Loyalist experience for students.

The provincial government and the colleges have been gathering the annual data on college results since 1998.

The most recent KPIs were gathered by two independent research firms, from March 2015 to February 2016.

Ontario’s ‘remarkable cardiac care’ reducing heart disease’s impact

By John Campbell

Campbellford – While heart disease remains common, accounting for 375,000 emergency room visits in Ontario each year, it’s becoming less of a risk to people’s long-term health and continued survival.

“We‘ve come a long way in terms of our understanding how to treat patients so that they have a longer, healthier life,” Dr. Joseph Ricci, chief cardiologist for the Rouge Valley Health System, told a small audience who attended the 16th annual health forum sponsored by the Campbellford Lions.

Heart disease is no longer the number one cause of death in North America, Ricci said, in large part because of “lifesaving strategies that go beyond” medication and surgery.

“We are fortunate in Ontario ... to have pretty remarkable cardiac care,” he said.

Cardiovascular rehabilitation services are provided for free at sites across the province, including 14 within the Central East Local Health Integration Network, such as the Hastings Field House (Mondays 1-3 p.m.).

All are within 30 minutes travel time for patients.

The services combine education, exercise, counselling and support administered by a multidisciplinary team of health professionals over a 12-month period.

“One heart attack shouldn‘t have much effect on your health,” in fact, it can be “a good thing,” Ricci said, by serving as “a warning sign” that “a different approach” is needed in how you go about life.

“The most important thing is what you do to prevent yourself having future problems,” he said. “We have really good evidence that you can reverse heart disease,” by exercising and taking aspirin along with certain medications.

The benefits of cardiovascular rehabilitation is a 20 to 30 per cent reduction in mortality and cardio-related hospitalization, fewer risk factors and an improved quality of life.

Currently about 3,300 patients a year make use of the service and the goal is to increase that number to around 5,000 by next year.

Amber Heath, the regional coordinator of the cardiovascular rehabilitation program, said two-hour classes are held once a week. “You‘re not exercising the whole time,” she stressed, and the exer-

cises are designed for each person, for at home as well as in the community setting.

The education sessions deal with different subjects, such as how to manage stress.

Trent Hills community services officer, Peter Burnett, said he “can attest to the success” of the program, because

he has seen what it has done for a close friend who suffered a heart attack last November.

The “improvement in his overall fitness and stamina is amazing to see,” he said.

To learn more about cardiovascular rehabilitation in this region, call 1-855448-5471.

Beware of bogus CRA calls: Police

The Belleville Police Service is reminding the public about the prevalence of phone scams and frauds with people posing as representatives of the Canada Revenue Agency.

These fraudsters are advising that they are agents or officers employed by the CRA and threaten arrest or legal action if individuals do not provide money or other personal information. Although the call may appear to be local, as it may have a 613 area code, it is not originating from this area, police say.

The CRA and other government agencies will not contact individuals in this manner and attempt to obtain personal information.

Do not engage in conversation with these individuals and/or provide personal information. In fact, end the call immediately, police say.

If anyone has provided personal and/or credit information to these individuals contact the Belleville Police Service to report the incident at 613-966-0882 ext. 2211.

Earl Prentice School children totally immersed in Earth and Water matters

By Margriet Kitchen

Marmora – What were you doing for Earth Day, April 22?

Like many other school communities in Canada, the children from Earl Prentice in Marmora spent part of their morning cleaning the school yard and surrounding area, includ-

ing the fairgrounds. Miss Murphy’s grade one/two class were responsible for collecting garbage in front of the school on William Street and both parking lot areas east and west of the school. Others were busy cleaning at the fairgrounds.

During the same week, the entire school population, many of their

family members and teachers attended the Ripley Aquarium in Toronto. Earlier this spring, the school learned that they had been awarded one of the few educational trips offered to schools in Ontario by the Ripley Aquarium through their Sea Scholar Program. As part of their original application,

children took part in a video, took ‘shark selfies’, and did comprehensive write-ups on aquatic life.

Along with the generous support of the school council, the trip became a reality, with four packed highway coaches providing a comfortable trip. Funding was also provided through the Department of Education supplemental transportation allowance. An additional educational facet of the outing was that the children were able to compare the rural area they are familiar with, to the huge city of Toronto, with its different landscape, structures and pace of life. After a self-guided tour of the Aquarium, with lots of opportuGrade 2 students from Earl Prentice School, Marmora, Wyatt Pressick, left, and Neveah Whiteman, take in the Ripley’s displays. Photo by Glenda Pressick nities for memorable pictures, the

Aquarium staff met with the group, and advised that their film was an outstanding effort and as a result has been distributed to all the Ripley Aquarium sites.

Vice Principal, C. Brault commented, “Our school has been turned into a pseudo-aquarium, since the children have been researching all kinds of aquatic life, and posting their findings, photos and drawings on the bulletin board! This has been a great experience for the entire school as one identity, since in the fall of 2017 they will be amalgamating with the Marmora Senior School.”
