Sense of relief as bridge re-opens “We’re ready for normal”

“I feel happy about it and hope that the customers will come back,” added Hash Khan of Em’s Dollar Store. “I’m looking forward to hearing traffic go

through town again.”

“It’s been hard for businesses, residents and commuters,” said Mike Metcalf of Banjo’s Grill. “If it had gone the full course there was talk that there would have been businesses out business; they couldn’t have done the last month. It’s been tough.”

“You couldn’t have asked for a better season to get the bridge in. The guys worked hard,” said Metcalf who also chairs the Hastings Revitalization Association (HRA).

“Now we can start to get back to normal and deal with the damage that has been done for the past four months. (We) hope customers and clients we used to have get back into their old routine and that they’re not stuck in a new routine that they’ve made.”

“It’s amazing,” said Wendy Baggs.

Baggs does outreach presentations for the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre near Peterborough so the lengthy detour around Hastings was a “big dislocation.”

“For me that’s a big plus to have it open early,” Baggs said. “I was jumping for joy and feeling happy for the businesses. Normally I do a lot of business in Hastings so it will be good to get back to town to help businesses back on their feet.”

“It’s absolutely great,” said Shannon Lawrence. “People were very ready. I think more of the commuters. (The detour) was a huge inconvenience. It will be a great relief for them, even in their pocket book.”

“It’s been a huge loss for our local businesses,” said Danica Donald.

“It’s nice to have it open and people return to town. It’s been hard not having the tourists come through and just the travellers (from) the County Road 45 corridor.”

Even the shopping experience is relaxing.

Provincial Police are not releasing the name of a Marmora man arrested in connection with a province-wide child pornography sting, or that of a Belleville man in the same sting.

In all, 80 people were arrested, including a 40-year-old man from Marmora. He was charged with make available child pornography, possession of child pornography, distributing child pornography, sexual interference, voyeurism under 16, and sexual assault.

Earlier in the week and as part of the provincewide operation, a 35-year-old Belleville man was also arrested and charged with making child pornography. His name was also withheld from publication by police.

At a media conference in Toronto Thursday morning (April 28), OPP Chief Superintendent Don Bell announced details of the investigation, which included a joint-effort with other police forces in and around the GTA and agencies such as the RCMP, Canada Border Services Agency and United States Homeland Security Investigations.

It was described by the OPP as a provincewide investigation by members of the Provincial Strategy to Protect Children from Sexual Abuse

“The most fundamental responsibility of any society is to protect its children. Every child has the right to be nurtured and the right to be safe. The Provincial Strategy demonstrates the success that police services worldwide can achieve when working together and sharing our best practices and information,” said Bell, Commander of OPP Investigation and Support Bureau.

Bell added that these investigations, which involve children in “pictures of every imaginable sex act” being available to everyone online, is a top priority for police.

A total of 174 search warrants were executed, resulting in 274 charges against 80 people, including one youth who cannot be identified under terms of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Charges include sexual assault, drugs and weapons and a range of child pornography charges.

In addition, 20 victims were identified during the investigations and referred to appropriate community-based resources for assistance, police said. Drug and weapons-related charges were also laid.

Man dies, house, outbuildings burned in bizarre Thurlow blaze

By Chris Malette Belleville – One man died by a self-inflicted gunshot and a house and two outbuildings across the road from the home burned to the ground in a bizarre scene that unfolded shortly after 7 a.m. Friday, April 29 at the corner of Highway 37 and Sills Road in Thurlow Ward, Belleville.

Belleville News learned, mid-morning

Friday, the homeowner of the house that burned was reportedly confronted by a man in his garage who fired a shot at the homeowner and proceeded to set the fire that destroyed the home.

The homeowner is reported by sources to have found a “neighbour who (drove) into his garage and pulled out two gas cans. When the homeowner confronted the man, the neighbour pulled a gun and fired a shot,” at the homeowner and proceeded to set the blaze that destroyed the home.

The retired couple who lived at the modern home escaped unharmed, while it is believed the man who set the blaze turned his gun on himself in the driveway. Police and firefighters arrived at the scene to find the house and outbuildings ablaze and the dead man in the driveway.

A witness at the scene, a neighbour who did not wish to be identified or be interviewed said simply a neighbour “set (the) house on fire,” as firefighters from Belleville fire department and surrounding volunteer departments battled to bring the blazing house fire under control.

Police concluded their investigation

late Friday and determined no charges would be laid. Sources said neighbours knew of a feud between the man who is believed to have set the fires – and ultimately killed himself at the scene with a gunshot – and several other neighbours. Included in the strange feud was the owner of the house that burned, said witnesses.

Belleville police reported none of its officers, despite arriving on scene and drawing their sidearms, fired a weapon, though they responded with caution after a report that a shot or shots had been fired at the scene.

The blaze raged for more than an hour, destroying what appeared to be a tidy wood-framed bungalow and a second structure, directly across Sills Road from the home, was set ablaze, but brought under control while firefighters battled the house fire nearby.

In a statement issued at 9:25 a.m., Belleville police said at “7 a.m. police responded to a 911 call on Sills Road, Thurlow Township where multiple structures were on fire. It was reported that a gunshot had been heard in the area.

Police located one deceased person at the scene. Police ensured that the residents of the burning structure were safe. Police were not involved in any exchange of gun fire during this incident.

This investigation is ongoing.”

A subsequent statement said, tersely: “The investigation into the incident on Sills Road in Thurlow Township has now been completed. Officials with the Ontario Fire Marshal’s Office have been on scene along with Detectives from the Criminal Investigation Branch and Forensic Identification officers from the Belleville Police Service. There will be no charges laid in connection with this occurrence and the name of the deceased male will not be released.”

On arrival at the scene reporters saw groups of neighbours standing, speaking among themselves. Some visibly upset at the scene that was unfolding.

When asked for comment, grim-faced neighbours who lived directly north of the house that burned, turned away requests for comment. An exchange had moments before unfolded between those neighbours and a police officer, but it was unclear what was said.

The home, on the east side of the intersection of Sills Road and Highway 37, had for sale signs on the lawn, but it was

not clear who lived at the home at the time of the fire.

The home that burned to the ground was a newly built home and was listed for sale at $359,000. Total estimated loss in the fire was pegged at $500,000 for all buildings and contents.

By 9 a.m. on the morning of the fire and shooting, the home was destroyed and firefighters were hosing down hot spots.

Police and fire closed the investigation Saturday, concluding the suspect solely responsible for the arsons was the man found dead at the scene.

OPINION

Iraq: Failed state Property prices in central Baghdad are as high as London’s, even though Iraq’s national income is down by 70 per cent since the collapse in the oil price.

Islamic State’s bombs regularly devasGwynne Dyer tate parts of the capital, and still the real estate market booms. Why? Because there is so much “dirty money” in Iraq that needs to be laundered. If you lack the political clout to get your stolen money out of the country, then the safest course is to put it into residential property.

Although that’s not a very safe bet either when the entire pseudo-democratic system bequeathed to Iraq by the US invasion is on the brink of collapse.

Last weekend’s intrusion into the Green Zone, the vast (10 sq. km) blast-walled government compound in Baghdad, by thousands of angry Iraqis was probably the beginning of the end of the current dispensation in Iraq. After only two days, they left again after delivering an ultimatum calling for wholesale reform of the government, but they vowed to return if it does not happen.

It will not happen, and they will be back in the streets soon. Former prime minister Nouri al-Maliki, forced from power in 2014 after Islamic State forces conquered the western half of Iraq, has been plotting a comeback with other parties in parliament. He may not succeed, but he and his allies are certainly able to block the passage of most measures they do not like.

The cement binding Maliki and the other plotters together is their determination to retain the utterly corrupt system that has allowed them to loot the country’s oil wealth for so long. The oil wealth is a great deal less now, but it is still practically Iraq’s only source of income and they have no intention of giving it up.

The man who replaced Maliki, President Haider al-Abadi, is in relative terms a reformer. He belongs to the same Dawa Party as Maliki and cannot afford to get too far out of touch with his power base. Nevertheless, almost a year ago he promised that he would replace many of his cabinet

Central HastingsTrent Hills News P.O. Box 25009, Belleville, ON K8P 5E0 250 Sidney Street Phone: 613-966-2034 Fax: 613-966-8747 Published weekly by:

members, drawn from the various parties in the ruling coalition, with “technocrats” who would (theoretically) be less likely to steal the government’s money.

He couldn’t deliver on his promise, however, because any cabinet changes have to be approved by parliament. Three times Abadi’s proposed reforms were rejected by parliament.

It was after the last time, in April, that Moqtada al-Sadr, a populist cleric with a big following among Baghdad’s multitudinous Shia poor, ordered the invasion of the fortified Green Zone. That did force parliament to approve of five of Abadi’s cabinet changes, and more will probably follow.

But changing the figureheads in the government ministries will not end the looting of public funds, which permeates the system from top to bottom. Indeed, you might say that corruption is the system in Iraq.

Like several other oil-rich countries, Iraq distributes some of the cash-flow to the citizens by means of paying them to do non-jobs. Most of the rest is stolen by the 25,000 or so people who hold senior administrative, political or military positions, leaving a small amount for public works.

There are seven million government employees in Iraq, in other words, a large majority of the adult male population, and most of them do little or no work. Indeed, some of them don’t even exist, like the “ghost soldiers” whose pay is collected by their officers. Collectively they were paid around $4 billion a month, which was all right when monthly oil income was up around $6 billion.

It is so dysfunctional that little is being done even to repair the Mosul Dam, which requires constant work on its foundations if it is not to break and drown Mosul, four hours downstream, under a 24-metre-high wave. The wave would be much lower when it reached Baghdad two days later, but it would still be big enough to wreck property values for a long time to come.

All this talk about the Iraqi army driving Islamic State back is just hot air. The only Iraqi military advances have happened under the cover of massive US air strikes, and the government’s own attention is elsewhere. So, increasingly, is that of the population. But Islamic State is still paying attention.

The toll on first responders lost on most of us Editorial - Chris Malette

You could see the exhaustion and shock on the many of the faces of firefighters who battled flames on three fronts at last week’s fire and suicide at Sills Road and Highway 37.

Volunteer firefighters sat chugging water bottles while some of their fellow first responders quelled the dying remnants of the fires that raged through two outbuildings and what was once a handsome, new home on the corner lot.

Many afterward would surely ask themselves “What the hell was that?” as they replayed the events of the early morning roll-out that saw them come upon raging fires on three fronts and the shocking image of a man’s body, splayed lifeless in the driveway of the flaming house, bearing stark signs of a fatal gunshot wound.

In a statement, days later, Belleville fire officials commented that April 29 was “… a long and strenuous day for Belleville Fire Fighters from Stations 3 and 4 — their efforts under very difficult and trying circumstances is also recognized and very much appreciated.”

To say the least.

These men and women are volunteers who have regular jobs – carpenters, farmers and the like – who get paged maybe the odd time a week to drop everything and assemble either at a volunteer hall or at a fire scene to put out the occasional grass fire, or, in some cases, at motor vehicle collisions, or in some cases serious ones involving death, serious injuries sometimes requiring dismantling a vehicle to pry someone from the wreck – extrication, it’s called.

But, the cumulative effect of the more serious of these incidents can take its toll on any first responder – be it a cop, firefighter or EMS personnel.

Imagine, then, the impact of the volunteer department in a small, rural town in Alberta, when this kind of crazy happens.

According to The Canadian Press, a firefighter who battled the flames that destroyed a railway trestle bridge northwest of Edmonton last week has now been charged with setting the fire, as well as others in and around his community.

That’s right. One of their own – setting fires that had every one of his comrades scrambling night and day to extinguish blazes. The town itself was Distribution Inquiries 613-966-2034 ext 508 Sales Manager Melissa Hudgin 613-966-2034, ext 504

spooked.

Mounties said Lawson Michael Schalm, 19, of Mayerthorpe faces 18 counts of arson following an investigation into a recent rash of fires, including the one that spectacularly destroyed a wooden CN train bridge on April 26.

Chief of the town’s fire department, Randy Schroeder, confirmed that Schalm was among the firefighters who fought last week’s fire on the bridge.

“The entire department is shocked and in disbelief right now regarding the situation,” Schroeder said on Sunday. “It’s almost grief-like symptoms at this point.”

In 2014, the CBC reported on efforts to help volunteer firefighters experiencing mental health issues related to PTSD. “A lot of times you wish your mind would remove what your eyes have seen, some of the fires you’re going to and some of the smells and things that you see at the fire,” Dawson City Fire Chief Jim Regimbal told CBC News. “You put them in the back of your brain, but they have a tendency to creep back up.”

The Ontario government has recently taken steps to develop a safety net for regular and volunteer firefighters who are experiencing PTSD. Career and volunteer firefighters in Ontario who experience post-traumatic stress disorder will automatically have their claims for compensation processed, the Liberal government announced in February.

New legislation, dubbed “Supporting Ontario’s First Responders Act” was introduced by Labour Minister Kevin Flynn last week. Ontario follows Manitoba, which enacted legislation last year, and Alberta where such protection became law in 2012.

Some of us have heard the old rivalry betweenpolice and firefighters over whose job is tougher; have maybe even carped ourselves some time about the salaries paid to full-time career firefighters who stack the overtime like cordwood and star on the annual Sunshine List.

But, most of us didn’t roll out of bed last Friday morning to race to a scene where three buildings were ablaze and the gruesome scene of a dead man was their greeting in the driveway, either.

PTSD? Yes, you could say it happens.

Havelock – They’re a “close-knit little family” and Thursday night, firefighters in Havelock-Belmont-Methuen celebrated the long service awards of four “team” members.

Fire Chief Ray Haines presented 20-year certificates to Deputy-Chief Terry Morrow and Captain Marc Finlay, a 15-year certificate to Oswald Williams and 10-year award to Rob Dowdell.

“It seems like just yesterday, [and] it feels the same when the pager goes off; it’s the same excitement as back then,” said Finlay following the ceremony that included greetings from HBM Mayor Ron Gerow and congratulations from township councillors and CAO Pat Kemp.

“I’ve seen a lot of guys come and go, and we’ve got a lot of good people right now. It’s a nice, close-knit little family,” Finlay said.

“They get up at 2 a.m., 3 a.m. in all kinds of different weather. They’re a great group of guys,” said Chief Haines, in his 27th year with the 29-member department.

Haines acknowledged the “time, dedication and work (firefighters) do for the department” and lauded their families “for putting up with having the pager go off at midnight.”

Families on the home front make extraordinary sacrifices to support spouses and other family members, while they’re out serving the community, he said.

“The training never stops. The basics are

the same, but technology is always changing,” Haines said citing auto extrication for electric and hybrid cars as an example.

“The doors are always open for people to come in and drop off an application,” he said.

Some people might be a little intimidated by the challenges, but Haines says there are lots of mentors on the department. New recruits go through a nine-month “probationary” period before taking the Firefighter 1 recruit course at the Eastern Ontario Training Academy in Norwood.

“It’s very gratifying,” Morrow said.

“Whether you’re fighting fires or going on calls or attending public events, you’re doing something for the public. You are helping others.”

Firefighters are “all community-minded,” he said. “They’re there for the community.

That’s what’s really important.”

“There’s a little more to it than when I started,” he admitted, especially with the recruit training program.

“The equipment has changed drastically.

We went from having not so much to having everything we could possibly need.”

Morrow admits firefighting “might not be for everyone” but encourages potential recruits to “give it a shot.”

“Everyone on the department makes you feel welcome and brings you in as part of the family.”

“We have a great time and just a great bunch of people,” he said.

MPAC overhauls current value assessment notices

By John Campbell

Trent Hills – Residents will receive in the mail next week, notice of their properties’ current value assessment, based on what they were worth as of Jan. 1, 2016.

“We are rolling out the notices much earlier than we have in the past,” Catherine Barr, a municipal and stakeholders relations account manager with the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation, told council recently.

The advanced disclosure of the update, the first since 2012, means improved tax roll “predictability and stability” for municipalities and “increased satisfaction and confidence” for taxpayers, says MPAC. “Our motto is no surprises,” Barr said. “We do not want municipalities to find out about an appeal and realize too late that it‘s going to hit their budget, so it gives you better budgeting information data.”

MPAC has “completely overhauled” the assessment notice to provide details

that are “easier to interpret,” she said.

It includes an overview of how much a property has increased in value since 2012, based on five key factors – location, lot dimensions, living area, age of the property (adjusted for major renovations or additions) and quality of construction. Data collection includes building permits, sales reviews, “data integrity checks,” severances, appeals and property owner inquiries Business and farm owners will receive their notices in the fall.

Property owners can learn more about how their assessment is calculated at www.aboutmyproperty.ca where they can do a comparison with other properties in their neighbourhood, as well as find out what the market trends are.

In Trent Hills, the median assessment value of residential properties will increase by less than one per cent from 2016 to 2017.

For a typical single family home, the increase in value is about $4,000 to $185,000, Barr said.

Owners who disagree with an assessment or classification will have 120 days to file a free Request for Reconsideration (RFR) to trigger a review

by MPAC. “That‘s a lot longer than they‘ve had in the past,” Barr said. “With the early roll-out of notices in May, we are encouraging property owners to review their notice.”

If they‘re still not satisfied after a reconsideration, they can file an appeal with the Assessment Review Board, which does cost money, she said.

Councillor Rick English said the process for handling RFR‘s “is very, very long,” having gone through it a few years ago.

MPAC has 180 days “to process and conclude” an RFR, Barr said.

“That‘s not acceptable,” Mayor Hector Macmillan said, as it causes uncertainty for property owners such as himself.

“That‘s been the number one question I‘ve heard from residents, and now I‘m one of them [with the same beef].”

Council not happy with extra costs on Havelock water tower project

By Bill Freeman Havelock – Havelock-BelmontMethuen council is “very disappointed” with extra engineering costs attached to a $2,090,075 water tower replacement project, but have approved a tender for the project which must be finished by the end of 2016 to remain eligible for provincial funding.

Under the province’s OCIF (Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund), HBM received $1,668,431, or 90 per cent of the estimated cost. The municipality contributes the remaining 10 per cent ($185,381).

Council approved a $1,845,000 tender from Landmark Structures Company for a glass-fused elevated tank rather than a standpipe.

HBM Public Works Manager Brian McMillan said consultants RV Anderson managed the “change of scope” from standpipe to the glass-fused elevated tank without additional costs, but the timeline for construction and installation has now gone from 12 to 32 weeks which will mean an additional $65,000 in engineering costs.

The cost overrun for the project is $236,262.

The municipality’s 10 per cent share will be funded by Ontario Municipal Partnership Funding (OMPF) and water users, but HBM must now spend an additional $236,262.

“I’m very disappointed with the extra costs [$65,000] for engineering,” Mayor Ron Gerow said. “I’m

not happy with the reporting from the consultants. They should have done a much better job. We’re going to have to tie a very short string around them.”

Gerow suggested there were other less expensive options that, “could have met our potential and needs.”

Council has asked for weekly reports on the project from the consultants as it moves forward.

“I expect any savings that are generated will come back to the municipality, especially on the engineering side.”

Council mulled over options for funding the $236,262 including taking it entirely from their 2016 OMPF allocation, splitting it evenly between OMPF and water users and 100 per cent from users.

Deputy-Mayor Jim Martin favoured using OMPF dollars, because there’d still be over $700,000 left in the 2016 allocation.

“The tower is a major step in moving this town forward in terms of expansion and development,” added Councillor Hart Webb. “I’m very disappointed in the cost overruns; obviously we have to pay for it.”

Webb was also “inclined” to draw 100 per cent from OMPF. “I wouldn’t want to add any more to water rates in town.”

“I share concerns about water rates,” Gerow said, agreeing to the 100 per cent OMPF option but cautioned that future water system upgrades are going to put pressure on rates.

Where’s the minister?

Find out at Farmtown Park Stirling - Away back in 1885, the minister from St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stirling suddenly vanished. Was it murder?

To find out, come to Farmtown Park on May 12, 13 and 14 for live theatre performances of the Red Lantern Show, featuring “The Case of the Missing Minister.”

The event is written and directed by Caroline Smith, and it is based on a true story.

“The idea for the show came as a result of me doing a similar thing in Collingwood,” Smith said. “It‘s basically an historical re-enactment.”

She said Farmtown is a perfect setting because of its indoor streetscape, chapel and ice cream parlour.

“The audience will go from location to location and find out what happened to the missing minister,” she said.

The two-hour show takes place in 20-minute segments. Act One is in the chapel, Act Two is in the schoolhouse, Act Three in what has been designated the Manse, and the final act is on the streetscape.

After the event, everyone is invited to the Old Tyme Tea Room (the ice cream parlour) for refreshments and to see some artifacts from the real case upon which the play is based.

The nine professional actors are all from Toronto and are volunteering their time for this initial production, Smith said.

“What we hope is that people will come and experience the museum in a new way,” she said.

She hopes this might become an annual event, with a new Stirling story told each year.

Tickets are $29.50 plus HST and the order fee, and are limited to just 25 people per show. For more information on ordering tickets and performance times, go to www.farmtownpark.ca.

Madoc - It has been quite some time since residents in and around Madoc have had a chance to experience live entertainment, other than special events at the Kiwanis Club and Arts Centre Hastings.

The Barley Pub and Eatery has taken up booking solo and duo performances starting April 16, when Peterborough entertainers, the Mayhemingways, brought the house down with their eclectic mix of originals and covers influenced by Cajun, bluegrass and Celtic flare.

Their bio page describes it as “fuzz-folk.”

They have a video on YouTube for a sample https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_ continue=25&v=HfQcK10A4e8.

Their first album, Hunter St. Blues, released this month has led to a cross-country tour, with another show at the Barley Pub on August 5. They were also booked for a retirement party at the Barley, April 28, by a regular patron.

Lead singer, Benj Rowland is multi-talented, switching from banjo to guitar or tenor guitar, „while holding down the bass with foot ped-

als,” says the bio.

Josh Fewings, „the big guy on the drums,” fills in with solid vocals and a driving drum, flexing through all genres to create a full, well-rounded groove.

This first live show proved a solid selection for the fledgling Old Crow Entertainment enterprise, spearheaded by husband and wife team Jeff Thompson and Erin Danford.

Club manager, Chris Egan likes the idea. „We‘re going to give it a try. I like the talent and if our patrons like it, all the better.“ Old Crow has a selection of grass roots Canadian talent booked in every other Saturday into September.

Next up, May 7, is solo artist Shawn „Deepwater“ Dore, deepwaterdore.weebly.com, with a blues/country mix of originals and covers of Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters and Brooker White. https://youtu.be/TfU6vV4od9k The line-up is not shabby, it’s a high end presentation of some award-winning, grass roots, Canadian artists. Tony Forbes, Mark Taylor and Dylan Ireland are on the list, with return performances a good possibility.

Live music has returned to Madoc.

Locals will be impressed by the calibre of live entertainment coming to the little village of Madoc this summer at the Barley Pub and Eatery. Peterborough duo, The Mayhemingways set the bar for what is to follow. Photo by Diane Sherman

NOTICE OF STUDY COMPLETION

County Road 2 Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study from Hamilton Road to Burnham Street / William Street The Study The County of Northumberland (County) has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for improvements to County Road 2 from Hamilton Road in the Municipality of Port Hope (Port Hope) to Burnham Street / William Street in the Town of Cobourg (Cobourg) to study how to best address operational deficiencies and the need for additional east-west transportation capacity in the area (see map).

The Process This study is being carried out in accordance with the planning and design process for Schedule ‘C’ projects as outlined in the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007 and 2011), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. Key Elements of the Recommended Design The study recommends the following improvements to benefit all users of the County Road 2 corridor: Rural Section (Hamilton Road to New Amherst Boulevard/Lovshin Road): • A road widening along the north side of County Road 2 to accommodate a centre two-way left turn lane • A 1.5 m wide paved shoulder on both sides of County Road 2 • A 3.0 m wide off-road multi-use trail on the south side of County Road 2 • One roundabout at the Theatre Road intersection • Lowering the posted speed from 80 km/h to 70 km/h • Relocation of the Burnham Market’s access onto Apple Orchard Road, including a dedicated southbound right turn lane from Apple Orchard Road onto County Road 2.

Urban Section (divided into two sub-sections): New Amherst Boulevard/Lovshin Road to Rogers Road: • A road widening along the north side of County Road 2 to accommodate a 4-lane urban cross section from New Amherst Boulevard/Lovshin Road to Wilkins Gate • 1.5 m on-road bike lanes on both sides of County Road • A 1.5 m concrete sidewalk on the south boulevard of County Road 2 Rogers Road to Strathy Road: • A 3.0 m off-road multi-use trail on the north side of County Road 2 from Rogers Road to Strathy Road Structures: • A separate multi-use trail structure south of the CPR Bridge Structure • A separate multi-use trail structure south of County Road 2 over Gages Creek Waterfront Trail Feasibility Study The findings of the Waterfront Trail Feasibility Study, completed as part of the EA, recommends that prior to implementation of the multi-use trail on County Road 2, the shoreline option will be examined further at each phase of County Road 2 construction to determine if the trail will be built along the shoreline, along County Road 2, or as a hybrid trail with sections along both the shoreline and County Road 2 that provide an overall continuous off-road trail system.

An Environmental Study Report (ESR) has been prepared to document the planning and decision making process undertaken for this study. The County intends to proceed with design and construction of the project following completion of the Class EA as per the phased implementation plan outlined in the ESR.

Students at Earl Prentice in Marmora learn to ‘Hug a Tree’

By Margriet Kitchen Marmora - Constable Alana Deubel of the Madoc OPP visited Marmora’s Earl Prentice school on April 27 to teach Grade 1 and 2 students in Miss Murphy’s class about the importance of “Hug A Tree” when they are lost in the woods. Included in the discussion was planning

to have safety equipment like a whistle and garbage bag with them while walking or hiking in the woods, staying in one place by essentially hugging a tree instead of going deeper in the woods when lost, selecting a spot that would be visible to a plane or helicopter overhead and also using sticks or stones to create an “X” or create an SOS to signal for help.

Vancouver author to appear at Tweed Library coffeehouse Writer and author Rob Taylor will be the featured speaker at the Tweed Public Library on Thursday, May 12, at 7 p.m. He appears as part of the library’s Writers Series, sponsored by the Friends of the Tweed Library.

Taylor, a Vancouver resident, is presently writer-in-residence at the Al Purdy A-frame in Ameliasburgh, Prince Edward County. He is the author of The Other Side of Ourselves, a collection of poetry for which he won the Alfred G. Bailey Prize. His poems, short stories and essays have been published in more than 50 journals and anthologies. In 2015, he was the recipient of Vancouver’s Mayor’s Arts Award.

Taylor is spending two months at the A-frame, and is working on his second poetry collection.

Al Purdy’s writing has had a major influence on his own writing style, and he has written

several poems inspired by Purdy, arguably Canada’s greatest poet. Taylor plans to read both prose and poetry during his appearance at the Tweed Library.

A question and answer period will follow the reading and autographed books will be available. The Friends are creating a coffeehouse atmosphere for the event. Refreshments will be served. Freewill donations are appreciated and help supplement support from the Canada Council for the Arts. The library is located at 230 Metcalf St. in Tweed.

The Friends of the Tweed Library is a group of community volunteers who sponsor and support the library through fundraising and special events. The Friends are always happy to welcome new members.

Centre Hastings finalizes budget

By Diane Sherman Madoc - Home owners will pay 4.79 per cent more in 2016.

The municipality is responsible for 2.09 per cent of that rise, 2.7 per cent can be directly attributed to the addition of $145,288 in policing costs.

Ontario statistics indicate the municipality has 2,532 households. They value the average residence at $188,688.

The tax hike means the average homeowner will pay $2,527 this year, $116.13 more than in 2015.

Council and staff debated four months, cutting as much from operational costs as possible to avoid too much of a tax hike. Fourteen per cent of all taxes are for education, and 21 per cent goes to the county.

The municipality requires a little over $5.1 million to operate.

Taxation payments will yield just over three and a half million.

There are 195 kilometres of

municipal road to be maintained, two fire stations, the library, arena, pool, medical centre, landfill site and waste pickup service, several recreational areas and police services.

Thirty per cent of the budget will go into road, bridge and transit improvements, with work on Preston, Quin-Mo-Lac, Lahey, Centre and Carson Roads.

Twenty-five per cent, which includes policing, is budgeted for protection to persons and property.

Recreation and properties use 11.9

per cent of the budget and general government operations 11.15.

Health services uses only .23 per cent, planning and zoning 1.16, with environmental services coming in at 5.85 per cent.

Capital expenditures will total $695,273 for road repairs, a new fire truck, LED lighting at the arena, accessible washrooms at the park, compressors for the arena and finding a new water source for the village.

That portion of taxation for the new

water source applies only to users of the urban water and sewer services.

Rural residents are not affected by those costs.

Mayor Tom Deline was pleased to say the municipality has 65 per cent of their budget kept aside, “This gives us some cushion if major issues arise. I think we are the only ones locally to do that this year, and I feel secure with that balance.”

He is confident his staff and council have done the best they could with the current economic climate.

Nourish, a new book authored by Warkworth nutrition, fitness coach

By Sue Dickens

Warkworth – “What are you hungry for,” asks Cait Lynch, author of a new book called Nourish, a book which according to testimonials, is a “life changer”.

Lynch’s 226-page book is the result of her work as a nutrition, fitness and momentum coach for the past dozen years.

“Since 2004, I have been coaching men and women up to 75 years of age on how to bring out the best of who they are,” she said. Her work with clients has helped her devel-

op a nutrition system that she describes as, “incredibly effective for people.”

Lynch encourages people to focus less on the weight scale and think more about what wellness encompasses, “such as the quality of your sleep, your mood, your energy level and the most important one, your digestion.” When interviewing clients, she discovered that those four points kept coming up over and over again.

Her first assignment, when treating clients, is to ask them not to change anything but to track the food they eat to establish a start-

ing point. She said she does not prescribe a diet to her clients. “I talk about macro nutrients, fats and carbohydrates, two game changers, and ask clients to assess their wellness compasses,” she explained.

Staying fit and maintaining one’s vitality is so important, she added.

“You can’t outrun the cheeseburger and beer belly,” she said with a grin.

There are more than 20 case studies included in her new book, which took three years to write,

and is the culmination of a dozen years of research.

Three hundred copies have been printed for the first run. The book was published by Blue Denim Press in Cobourg.

“This is my first book and I plan on writing more,” she said.

Her second book, with the first draft completed, is “about self-propelled momentum”.

A celebration and official book launch was held at a brunch and book reading in Campbellford at Island Park Retirement Resident on April 17. The event was sold out.

For more information about the author, go to www.caitlynch.com or call 705-761-9944. Her book is available for pre-order on Amazon. com and will be available soon at Bricks and Mortar stores.

Community Care volunteers honoured at brunch

By Bill Freeman Havelock – “I don’t imagine I could go without doing it,” said Pip Calderone, after an emotional acceptance of a 10-year Community Care volunteer pin. The longtime Havelock volunteer is moving to Port Hope, so the Community Care volunteer appreciation brunch in Havelock marked an end of sorts for Calderone.

“You can just see from the look on my face, how much

it means to me,” she said afterwards. “It’s meant the world to me. I’ve met some great people and thoroughly enjoyed it.”

Havelock’s loss is Port Hope’s gain because there’s a Community Care office near her new home.

“I’ve always volunteered with different organizations for the last 25 years. It makes you feel better yourself.”

The brunch honoured volunteers from Havelock and Norwood and gave staff

Westwood farmers’ market in the works

By Bill Freeman Westwood - A farmers’ market could be running in Westwood this summer.

Asphodel-Norwood council gave a warm reception to a farmer’s market proposal by James Pulfer, who’d like to run the public gatherings six times this summer in Westwood with the possibility of expanding next year to include Norwood.

The proposed market would run the second and fourth Sundays of July, August and September with a location yet to be nailed down, although Pulfer would like to use the basketball court and Westwood Park with access to the library.

Alternative sites include the former Westwood sand dome parking lot and Asphodel Park.

Pulfer, a Westwood native, calls the market a “community building project.”

“In the broader sense, it’s an economic development project for the township focussing on agriculture and agricultural business,” he told council.

“I grew up in Westwood, spent a lot of time in Westwood, moved away, lived in a lot of places and came back. I appreciate Westwood for what it is: a nice place to live and grow up, and I see a lot of young people and families.”

Pulfer is familiar with the local market scene through connections with the Keene Farmer’s Market and his own family’s agricultural

background. He’s talked to at least 12 potential vendors and dozens of area residents.

“I’ve had a very enthusiastic response,” he said. “Young people with families are excited about activity in Westwood.”

“A farmer’s market provides an opportunity to bring people together and a business opportunity in the immediate area,” Pulfer added.

He sees the market benefiting residents, who will be able to buy things in their own community; agricultural businesses, especially farm gate entrepreneurs and experienced vendors, who will “do something close to home” and other business owners, like summer resort operators, whose clients will have another place to visit.

He suggested AsphodelNorwood draft a market bylaw similar to the one in Otonabee-South Monaghan, which created the Keene Farmer’s Market committee and regulates how the market operates.

“It seems like a worthwhile idea,” said Mayor Terry Low encouraging Pulfer to approach the Library Board for site access.

“It definitely has value,” added Councillor Debbie Lynch. “I think it has the potential for community building.”

“It’s very encouraging when you have a resident who brings the idea and offers to do the majority of the legwork,” said Councillor Bernadette Vanderhorst.

and board members a chance to heap accolades on the people who make the organization function.

“They are critical to all the services and programs we provide,” Havelock co-ordinator Tammy Ross said. “I’m always amazed at the skills that they bring to this organization. They are all about learning about what they can do to help.”

The two offices’ 119 volunteers help 119 clients and provided 8,636 hours of service over the year.

Community Care is always looking for volunteers, says Ross.

“We have some volunteers who have brought in their younger neighbours, and we need to encourage that.”

One of the most popular requests, Ross says, is distress

alarms and she says they could use a few more volunteers to help set them up and do testing.

“I think it’s a wonderful thing.

When I came to Norwood, I didn’t know a soul. This is how I met people,” said 15year Norwood volunteer Anne Mitchell.

Mitchell has retired as a volunteer but vows to “help out whenever I can.”

“It keeps you being a bit of a clock-watcher and calendar watcher,” said retired Havelock teacher Gord Rigby, who received a 10-year pin.

“It kind of organizes your life.

You’re retired, and you’re doing something you want to do and look forward to doing as well.”

Rigby is a volunteer driver, often taking people into Toronto for medical appointments.

“It works great for me.”

Community Care volunteers Pip Calderone (Havelock), Gord Rigby (Havelock) and Anne Mitchell (Norwood) were among those who received commendations during an appreciation brunch, that brought together volunteers from Norwood and Havelock. Calderone and Rigby received 10-year pins and Mitchell received a 15-year pin. Photo by Bill Freeman

Heavy equipment thrills kids at Tweed Elementary Fun Fair

By Brett Mann Tweed – Kids and parents attending the Tweed Elementary School annual Fun Fair had a chance to climb on fire trucks, a road grader and a Zamboni, courtesy of the municipality. Teachers grilled hot dogs and hamburgers while volunteers managed 14 different outdoor game stations.

Last year about 700 people attended the Fun Fair. Organizers Michelle Langevin and T. J. Hopkins, both parents of students at Tweed Elementary, spent months planning this year’s event and met with good community support. “We got some good donations,â€? Langevin observed, pointing to an impressive array of gift packages donated by local businesses and agencies to be raffled off. “We got some outdoor baskets with lures and fishing stuff, a BBQ, a week of camp at the pool here in Tweed, a cooler ‌ and there’s probably a good 30 volunteers here tonight, or more.â€? “The teachers are helping out. Some

of them are doing the BBQ outside and some of them are running games,� said Langevin. Hopkins adds, “We have MIX 97 and municipal trucks outside as well.� The Zamboni from the Tweed Community Arena also made an appearance, Langevin noted.

As well as the BBQ and game stations, the fair featured a face-painter and “some bowling kits here from Quinte Bowl� among other attractions. Participants had the chance to win one of nine prize baskets and four “extra prizes.�

In the parking lot, youngsters gazed in awe at the display of trucks and heavy equipment and beamed with excitement as parents and grandparents hoisted them into the driver’s seats.

Susan Carleton-Maines, principal of Tweed Elementary, judged the event a success saying, “It certainly was a success because of all the help from the school community, especially the parents.� Funds raised from the food sales and raffles will go toward purchasing new playground equipment.

“It’s a little quirky, fun and silly, and maybe a bit ‘cheesey,’ but quality cheese, more like Gouda than processed.”

Students sat in a circle to discuss their work.

Ravan Van Brederode said, “It is an accurate representation of what life is like at school, and if we do things as in the play, it could be better.”

Others feel it is “in touch with real life” and hope their parents and general audience will “see how stressful our life is.”

Grade 12 student Miranda Alexander said a lot of students will connect with the play.

Students agreed there are “a lot of issues that are out of hand in schools,” like stereotyping, self-esteem issues, bullying, exclusion, racism, students coping with disabilities and family issues.

The script and music lyrics by Andrea Green and Selma Tolins Kaufman, hits hard at the stress of day-to-day school life, some issues more blatant than others and some subtly permeating an undercurrent of tension.

“It’s not easy being a student these days. There’s a lot of stress. This show may shock our parents because it really tells it like it is.” Brennan Michener said with nods from the rest of the class.

Cain Arnold said it can make learning difficult when these issues go on every day.

The course is structured so students experience all parts of the production, lights, sound and stage set-up, along with their own character role in the play.

Shows begin at 7:30 p.m. and are open to the general public.

Tickets are $10. Call CHSS, 613473-4251, for more information.

Community will rally around Parker at dinner

By Bill Freeman Havelock – Parker Fulford is in love with life.

But the four-year-old Havelock boy faces daily challenges few youngsters will ever encounter, and does so with a resiliency that is inspiring.

The son of Jennifer and Mike Fulford of Havelock has shown his fighting spirit from the very start, after a premature birth at 23 weeks following an emergency airlift to Mount Sinai Hospital.

He weighed 630 grams or one pound, three ounces and was eventually transferred to Sick Kids Hospital with the odds against him.

Shortly after birth, Parker suffered a stroke and his lungs collapsed; he’s nearsighted and deaf and has cerebral palsy.

Parker was in the hospital for 168 days and Jennifer had to wait at least one month before she could hold her newborn, who’d fought so hard against so many dire predictions.

On May 14 at 5 p.m., the Ladies Auxiliary of the

Havelock Legion will host a family spaghetti dinner to raise funds to assist with the installation of a fully accessible shower-bathing area for Parker in the family’s McLean Avenue home.

The Fulfords have been advised on the project by the Five Counties Children’s Centre and Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, and expect it will cost approximately $10,000. In the future, they’d like to install a special lift, but that’s an additional capital expense.

“I have not met anyone who has not fallen in love with Parker. He’s definitely full of spirit and always smiling,” Jennifer said during a phone interview.

Parker is a growing boy and entirely dependent on his parents, so care can be a challenging struggle at times.

Winters can be difficult; Parker’s had three bouts with pneumonia this year.

“Most of the time he’s a happy-go-lucky guy in love with life.”

Jennifer has lots of fam-

ily in the area and has felt She embraces the “small “right at home” since mov- community feel” and was ing to Havelock from Peter- moved by the Ladies Auxilborough in November. iary’s offer to host a dinner.

Havelock – Havelock-BelmontMethuen council agrees with the public health board’s concerns about the Ministry of Health’s “Patients First” recommendation to create a “more formal” relationship between Local Health Integration Networks (LHIN) and public health units especially around funding and accountability agreements.

Currently, public health boards negotiate directly with the province for funding and accountability agreements. Under the wide-ranging Patients First proposal, health units would become integrated within the provincial health system through a greater alignment with the LHINs. Locally that’s the East Central LHIN. The Patients First proposal would expand the role of LHINs and dissolve Community Care Access boards moving all CCAC functions to LHINs. The changes, Health Minister Eric Hoskins says, are designed to “reduce gaps and strengthen patient-centred care.”

Key in the 10-step plan is the ex-

Havelock council supports health unit concerns over ‘Patients First’ recommendations

By Bill Freeman

Her aunt Sherri is an auxiliary member and had talked to members about Parker but had no idea about the dinner.

“It makes me feel so blessed,” Jennifer said. “It’s a great feeling to know

pansion of the role played by the province’s 14 LHINs making them “responsible and accountable for all health care planning and performance” including new areas like public health, primary care and home and community care services.

Smaller “sub-regions” would be created within each LHIN as a “focal point” for local planning, service management and delivery.

Public health wants to help the province “re-orient” the health system, says local medical officer of health Dr. Rosanna Salvaterra, “but it should be done in a way that doesn’t sacrifice, threaten or harm the much smaller independent public health system.

“When you look at public health, we are a very small percentage of the larger health care system,” Dr. Salvaterra told HBM council.

Most of the changes in Patients First have nothing to do with public health, but those that relate to funding and governance.

In other jurisdictions where public health funding is “integrated regionally with funding for the rest of the

health care system,” that funding “gets eroded,” Dr. Salvaterra said.

“Opportunities for improvement” often don’t happen within a regionalized model, she added.

“Any changes to the role of public health should be done within the context of the Ontario Public Health Standards Act. That’s where you should make the changes. We want to do it as part of that process.”

“I’m one of the sceptics of Patients First and what the outcomes will be,” HBM Mayor Ron Gerow admitted.

“We could be in a very vulnerable position if the LHIN took over the funding allocation. It’s important we support our health unit.”

“I only think public health would deteriorate if the recommendation is accepted,” added Councillor David Gerow.

“As a small rural community we’re often grouped in with larger centres,” said Councillor Hart Webb. “The needs of our people are quite different, whether it is geography or demographics. It’s our ratepayers who are getting left out in the cold.”

Its purpose is to increase the trail‘s visibility and usage. All costs for its design, construction, landscaping and future maintenance and upkeep are to be borne by the committee.

The cost-of-living adjustment continues the practice of giving non-union employees the same increase the municipality‘s unionized workers negotiate in their collective agreement.

“Regular cost-of-living adjustments will help prevent the widening of the gap between the non-union/management salaries of Trent Hills and comparator municipalities and organizations,” CAO Lynn Phillips said in a report.

“This is essential to ensure the Municipality of Trent Hills continues to be able to attract and retain a high-performing workforce, committed to providing excellence in service delivery.”

A busy and magical long weekend for Madoc weeks ago.

Originally from Madoc, he has returned to settle with his wife and three children.

His first show back in the village was at the library during March break, where he said he first read about magic.

He spoke then of returning to raise his children.

On April 30, he did another show at Arts Centre Hastings during the Lions Club extravaganza.

He says everyone involved is donating their time and talent. Entry fees for teams and individuals to join in the trivia and talent contests and for the dance party, will be donated to the Friends group.

Opening day at the park often draws over 500 people, so he is

hoping his efforts will be profitable. The village market also opens that day, with a giant yard sale to benefit the local food bank.

Residents can register to donate a portion of their yard sale earnings, by calling the Central Hastings Support Network at 613-473-5255 to register.

Organizers will be at the market to hand out maps to shoppers and accept donations.

May 21 also marks the return of Maguire’s Motocross Racing Series, with high level competitors returning to the Madoc track, known as one of the best on the circuit.

To finish off the day, Bloomfield singer/ songwriter Tony Forbes appears live at the Barley Pub and Eatery.

From magic to motocross, and marketing to music, Madoc will be buzzing.

Friends of Ferris guided walks a sure sign of spring

By Sue Dickens Campbellford – Free guided walks hosted by Friends of Ferris (FoF) have been a tradition at Ferris Provincial Park for years, and their startup is a sure sign of spring.

“The original purpose was to encourage the community to visit the park, and the walks have evolved into an opportunity for people to see the improvements thanks to Ontario Parks and Friends of Ferris,” commented Carol Robertson, FoF vice-president.

She hosts the walks along with FoF volunteers. The walks started May 3 and will continue through to Dec. 31. Walkers will be able to enjoy the trail improvements, see the Chimney Swift towers, the dry stone

wall restoration area and learn about the park services, such as rental of fishing equipment and kayaks.

“Another reason for the guided walks is to reduce people’s fears that they might get lost.”

To prevent that from happening there are trailhead signs in the parking lot as well as trail maps and a park tabloid, all available at two kiosks, the gatehouse and by the Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge.

“The Kinettes of Campbellford donated money for several of the ‘you are here’ signs throughout the park,” noted Robertson. Signs also are used, for example, to identify six designated clusters of trees, the species and more.

“The walks have evolved into reinforcing the educational and

historical aspects of the park such as the drumlins, wildflower plants and fungi,” said Robertson.

There are historic signs at the sheep wash and two new signs about the (Nathan) Grills and (Oscar) Rannie families, who farmed and owned the land.

“We have floral interpretation on the walks too.”

A recent program “Memories of Ferris Provincial Park” invites people to submit their stories about special events at the park, which are then posted on the FoF website.

The walks are held Tuesdays, rain or shine, 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.

Walkers meet at the east end of the suspension bridge.

For more information go to: Friends of Ferris is once again hosting free guided walks through the park and volunteers offer information about its history www.friendsofferris.ca/activi- and the many types of trees and plants growing there as well as stops at historic sites including the dry stone wall restoration area, sheep wash and more.

The one-day fair was held at the Warkworth Cultural Centre for the Arts, and Trish York, artist and project co-ordinator, commented: “We had a lot of fun.”

Camp Ho Ba Chee created a ring toss “out of a lot of cool campy beach items.”

David Lyons, a member of the steering committee and a wood turner, created wooden ice cream cone ball catchers. There was a teddy bear picnic mini-golf hole, encaustic bow and arrow shoot, a ball toss into pottery and glass works from Frantic

Farms.

Egyptian face painting and a photo op for the kids, so they could have their picture taken in an Egyptian sarcophagus, captured the imagination of everyone.

Artworth, which is heading into its 11th year, takes place from July 11 to 22.

“Our theme is a look at waves: sound waves, water waves and light waves, as we delve into photography, radio plays, and even build sea monsters,” said York with enthusiasm. There will also be a „live action chess game“ in Millcreek Park.

New technology helps firefighters at Tweed house blaze

By Brett Mann Tweed – Tweed Fire Department responded to a structure fire on Trillium Lane on Thursday morning, April 28 and despite a prompt response with four fire trucks and 17 firefighters, the one-story frame home was destroyed. Deputy Fire Chief Robert Robinson estimated damage at about $200,000 and reported that both occupants escaped without injury.

Firefighters made use of a recently acquired thermal imaging device used to check for hot spots

after the blaze was extinguished.

“We did use it after we knocked the fire down,” said Robinson.

The device is valued at about $11,000 and was partially subsidized by a recent $7,000 gift from Branch 428 of the Royal Canadian Legion.

“I think we received it around December. We use it at every structure fire. We use it at motor vehicle accidents, especially at night, for people that have been ejected from vehicles. And it’s for doing search and rescue as well for looking for persons inside of the house. And then

we’ll use if to retrieve a firefighter out of a house if we have to,” Robinson commented. The fire department previously had a thermal imaging camera, “but this is newer. It has a bigger and brighter display screen and other new features … it will help us retrieve the person inside the house as quickly as possible.”

Another important tool the Tweed Fire Department has recently acquired is a set of battery-operated spreader/cutters.

This unit “is mainly used for extrication. It’s battery operated, so we don’t have to worry about

dragging hoses and stuff. We still have our hydraulic set, but this will be able to be deployed quicker. With no hoses or gas, it’s ready to use at any time.”

Tweed firefighters tried out the tool recently at a wrecking yard, and reported, “It worked really well.” The department has had the new cutter/spreaders for about two months and has not had to use them on and actual response call. Robinson expresses the Tweed Fire Department’s gratitude to the Legion for their assistance in acquiring the new equipment.

Stirling’s Incredible Night of Music is Friday

By Terry McNamee Stirling—This Friday, May 6, there will be a night of music to raise money for the Stirling Public Library.

“I’m pleased to be working with the Rotary club to help organize and stage these Music Nights at the station,” said local entertainer Dave Bush. “it’s a great showcase for all of the talented performers and a wonderful opportunity for people to see them ‘live’ in such an intimate setting.

“We have Kyle Mitchell, who recently won The Canteen Idol in Picton, and Robyn Scott-Brown, who has appeared several times at the Havelock Jamboree and has at least two top-40 hits to her credit,” he added. “We’re in for a real treat, because Robyn will also perform with

Karen Smith – and the harmonies created by these two ladies are just outstanding!”

Also included inn the lineup are Shirley Diane Baker, who released her very first album in the fall of 2015, plus Steve Tanner, Janice Corbett Andrew Gardiner, and Greg Lott.

“In addition to the great music, we’ll be offering delicious homemade chili served with garlic bread and all the toppings, along with beer, wine, soft drinks and some tasty treats,” said Rotary president, Laurie Osborne.

“Doors open at 6 p.m. with ‘live’ music on-stage a halfhour later. All food and drink is reasonably priced and admission is free, so it’s a great night out.”

School fundraiser a ‘hit’ at St. Mary’s

Campbellford – Splatt!

Now that was a real slapstick in the face, but the six staff members at St. Mary’s Catholic School who had whipped cream mashed into their mugs by students didn’t really mind.

Putting their faces on the firing line was all for a good cause: to help raise money for agenda books, school trips, special activities and other initiatives at St. Mary’s.

The school’s 250 students responded to the challenge, selling enough tickets to earn $12,850 in proceeds, a record amount.

“It‘s really fun for the students,” said school principal Virginia Marini, one of the half-dozen who agreed to be a target.

Staff used to organize the event, “but we’re really glad the school council has taken it over because it’s a tremendous amount of work,” she said. “The support from my school council here is incredible.”

And “there‘s amazing support from the community” as well, in the donation of prizes for the children.

Kirkland Plumbing donated the third prize of $250 and seven others, the Catholic Women‘s League, Scott Drummond Motors, Ames Coach Lines, McGee Excavating, Giant Tiger, Stirling Theatre and Westben donated $100 or more; Canadian Tire, No Frills and Philosophy donated bikes.

“I am the envy of the other principals,” Marini said, because “it‘s such a good fundraiser” run by “such a strong school council.”

The three draw prizes were won by Emily Ivey ($1,500), Jen Lee ($500) and Fred Linn ($250).

Lucas Wyndham led all students in selling 43 books of tickets, which won him a bicycle. Also winning a bike for being among the top ticket sellers were Paige Margraf, Isabella Thrower and Lily Stiff. Photo by John Campbell

Havelock Wolves wind up first season of darts

By Bill Freeman Havelock – The Havelock Wolves have an eye for accuracy.

The 13-member youth darts club at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 389 in Havelock, wrapped up its first full season Wednesday evening with an awards ceremony and are pleased with their progress. Now they’re keen to attract other area youth to the sport.

“There’s always room for growth,” says an enthusiastic Ellen Kocik, who helped introduce the youth sport locally.

The program gets sponsorship assists from Branch 389, Unimin and J & J Contracting who’ve helped throughout the year.

The Wolves program is affiliated with Darts Ontario with players ranging from six to 13. Kocik notes that Darts Ontario players start between eight and 10 so Havelock’s players “have had a couple of years of practice before they get going.”

Kocik, a veteran player herself, is thrilled youth darts has caught on. It’s well-established in urban centres but not so much in smaller communities. In Havelock it started off with three or four kids asking Kocik if she’d start something up.

“Now we have 13 kids.”

Some players, like Paden Stephenson, 13, are already making their mark at Darts Ontario tourneys.

“If you keep practicing you’ll get better,” says Paden who was introduced to darts by his grandparents when he was nine. Not only does he play with the Wolves but with adults twice a week at Branch 389 where he holds his own.

Paden won the Wolves junior boys high score trophy with a best of 174.

“A lot of practice makes perfect. That’s what my grandpa said,” he noted. “When I get older I want to be a professional dart player.”

“I like getting to know different people,” added Rianna

Martin, 12. “You have to co-operate with other people on your team and I like that.”

Rianna won the junior girls high score with a 92.

The program appeals to all levels of interest, says Kocik.

“We have some kids who don’t want to compete. They come here every week and play against each other and love it. They don’t want to go out to the tournaments. Then we have the other group who can’t wait for tournaments.

“It is a social sport and the kids enjoy it.”

All kids received participation trophies.

Badminton Knights head to OFSAA

Norwood – Sending athletes to the OFSAA badminton championship is almost a rite of spring at Norwood District High. The small school with big dreams will have both mixed doubles teams on the court at the provincial high school finals this week in North Bay, after Mike Burtt and Shannon Scriver and brother and sister Jake and Nicole Bennett picked up gold and silver at the COSSA championships.

It’s the first time NDHS has qualified two mixed teams for OFSAA. “It’s the best I’ve seen both teams play all year that day,” coach Jeff Winslow said of the COSSA final.

Both teams knew they’d have to beat the outstanding Holy Cross

team of Melissa Duong and Anthony Nguyen who had beat NDHS at the Kawartha finals.

“They were probably the most talented team there,” Winslow said of Holy Cross.

Burtt and Scriver did just that in the semi-final eking out a win through three close games.

They faced their teammates in the final and won 2-0. The Bennetts then faced Holy Cross in the silver medal match and won.

“Both are very close to each other, it just depends on the day who wins,” Winslow said of his two mixed teams. “Both peaked at the right time at COSSA.” Winslow says Burtt and Scriver are a “fast, athletic team that get a lot of their points through movement and quickness” while the Bennett duo score a lot of their points through power.

“Both (Jake and Nicole) have long reaches and get to the bird very well,” he said.

Both teams are excellent communicators on the court.

Scriver is still a junior but Winslow said her “mature attitude” made her a perfect teammate for Burtt. Nicole won junior COSSA silver and gold in Grade 9 and10 and paired up well with her brother.

The NDHS after-school badminton club has helped grow the sport, Winslow says.

“It makes a big difference when you’re playing the sport throughout the year.”

Meanwhile, junior Knights Andrew Hembruff and Bailey Anderson-Carter won the COSSA mixed title after capping a perfect season.

In 2014, NDHS won a gold and antique bronze at OFSAA.

Can Flint Firebirds’ fiery owner help bring OHL back to Belleville?

By Stephen Petrick Maybe, the best thing a Belleville hockey fan can hope for these days is another Rolf Nilsen meltdown.

Nilsen is the disgraced owner of the Ontario Hockey League’s Flint Firebirds, a franchise that was relocated a year ago from the fellow Michigan city of Plymouth.

Nilsen created hockey headlines last November when he fired his coaching staff, apparently over the ice time his son was getting.

Hakon Nilsen was a defenceman on the Firebirds and his plus-minus raking for the season of -29, suggests he wasn’t a good one.

The coaching staff was hired back hours later, when every player – including Hakon – handed in their jerseys, refusing to play for such a bone-headed owner.

Nilson wasn’t done with shenanigans there, however. He fired his staff again in February, despite protests from players.

In April, OHL Commissioner David Branch, aware that loose cannon owners aren’t suitable for junior hockey, suspended Nilsen for five years and fined him for more than $250,000.

The sanctions followed an investigation that revealed the owner had violated an agreement he signed by the OHL and acted in ways that was contrary to

the best interest of players and league.

What does this have to do with Belleville? Well, more than a few people in OHL circles have suggested the league would be wise to get rid of Nilsen once and for all and re-locate the Firebirds to a traditional OHL city like Belleville.

The Yardmen Arena has been without a chief tenant since the Belleville Bulls were sold and relocated to Hamilton last spring; a move that ended more than 30 years of OHL hockey in the Friendly City.

Nilsen owns the arena the Firebirds play in and needs a team there, so he’s not likely to give up on the OHL easily.

But, if we’re lucky, maybe he’ll blow a fuse again, say nuts to the OHL, and tempt Branch and his board of owners to come back here.

I suggest this under the assumption that the Binghamton Senators of the American Hockey League are not coming to Belleville any time soon.

That idea got the Twittesphere talking last week when it was presented by Ottawa Sun sportswriter Bruck Garrioch.

He wrote that the Ottawa Senators, while not unhappy in Binghamton, were exploring bringing their farm team to Belleville. This way players would be geographically closer to the big club and it would help the Senators strengthen their brand in Eastern Ontario.

Yet, days later Binghamton Senators officials told media they’re not going anywhere and were in fact working on a new long-

term agreement with the Sens.

A possible Belleville move is an interesting theory and – from what we know – the City of Belleville is in serious negotiations with at least one party considering leasing the Yardmen Arena.

But AHL teams travel much further distances than OHL teams to play opponents and it’s hard to imagine a new hockey owner coming to town that would feel comfortable paying for a team’s airline tickets -- not to mention salaries -- with revenue from no more than 3,300 tickets per game.

Other professional leagues may be considering Belleville, such as the East Coast Hockey League or the Federal Hockey League, but they would face the same problem.

There’s optimism in Belleville that quality hockey will soon return to Belleville – and council’s recent decision to hire an architect to produce drawings on how the arena can be renovated – is fuelling belief that a deal in in the works.

But the city’s best bet for long-term Flint Firebirds owner Rolf Nilsen is in trouble with the OHL, which may be good news for Belleville. hockey success is the return of the OHL. Submitted photo

Catwalk 4 Change event raises money for wheelchairs

By Stephen Petrick Quinte West – The National Air Force Museum had a glitzy and glamorous feel on Saturday night, as dozens of community leaders gathered to support the Wheelchair of Hope Foundation.

The foundation hosted Catwalk 4 Change, a black tie dinner and fashion show to raise funds for a good cause.

Wheelchair of Hope is a relatively new, non-profit organization that raises funds to provide wheelchairs for those in need.

Its founder, John Cairns, said a donation of a new high-end wheelchair often represents something much more than a seat with wheels.

To some clients, it represents and opportunity to get out and about more, participate in community activities and have a great social life.

“We provide freedom through the gift of mobility,” he said.

The foundation takes in donations of unneeded wheelchairs, but funds are needed to refurbish the wheelchairs The Wheelchair of Hope board of directors includes (from left) founder John Cairns, Matt Sweet, Glenn Lidstone, Ashley Rushnell, Lucas Wiseman, Mike Wilcox, Dianna Cairns and to industry standard and provide them to clients, at no Garnet Thompson.

costs.

Many wheelchairs are expensive to maintain, Cairns explained, as a new battery could cost $300 to 400.

The event is estimated to have rasied about $15,000, but all the bills had not yet been tallied, said organizers.

Cairns is thrilled with the support the foundation has received in its short history.

This was the second annual Catwalk dinner event and dozens of people, dressed to the nines, attended the event, including several councillors and business leaders from both Quinte West and Belleville. A long list of wellknown Quinte-area businesses sponsored the event, too.

The event also featured a fashion show that celebrated diversity, as some of the models strolled down the catwalk in wheelchairs.

The support was appreciated Cairns said, as the foundation continues to grow. So far, it’s provided wheelchairs to about two dozen clients, but the list is expected to grow.

“That (list) is growing exponentially,” Cairns said.

Picton-area port being given new life

By Jack Evans

The Picton area is not going to go down as just any port in a storm. The foresight of a Kingstonbased business family is transforming an abandoned loading dock into a major shipping terminal with results that are so huge, even its new owners are overwhelmed, Hastings County Council learned Thursday.

In a presentation to council, Ben Doornekamp related his family’s investment of purchasing the former Bethlehem Steel property on Picton Bay just a kilometre or so out of Picton, refurbishing its original loading equipment and finding business opportunities far beyond what they envisaged when they bought the property. There’s also a matter of needing another $40 million to obtain modern unloading equipment to make the port more cost effective and capable of handling the needs of area manufacturers. He sees the future as a major port to serve all of eastern Ontario, competing with current facilities at Montreal and Hamilton. Attending coun cil to support his presentation were Prince Edward County Mayor Robert Quaiff, MPP Todd Smith and MP Mike Bossio.

The scope of the project can be a major local economy game changer, with established interest by major industries throughout the region for both importing raw materials and exporting manufactured goods. The cost, for instance, of ship travel, is $3.50 per metric tonne per 500 km. compared to $560 per metric ton for heavy trucking…a saving of $200 million per year for the private sector in trucking alone. Coupled with that is a green factor spin-off

plus a saving in road maintenance. But Highway 49 will definitely see much more traffic, Doornekamp cautioned. It wiil also need to be rebuilt.

He said when the company looked at the Belleviille area for port usage, he was amazed at the volume of manufacturing business the community churns out.

When fully operational Picton Terminals can handle 100 vessels a year. Each vessel represents approximately 350,000 kilometres of heavy trauck traffic removed from area roads. Carbon emissions from ships are only 10 per cent of the equivalent in truck traffic also.

The company estimates some 500 jobs will be involved in the new operation, including both new and retained jobs. Demand for the terminal so far has included local quarries, dement plants, grain and agricultural operations and several major manufacturers, such as the Napanee tire plant and Procter and Gamble. The ships can also avoid lengthy border crossing problems and delays by moving large quantities directly to major United States ports and other world-wide ports.

His presentation generated much excitement around the council chambers and drew an immediate motion to support the operation and encourage both federal and provincial governments to help fund the necessary improvements, as they have done for other port developments.

A property that has sat idle and abandoned for several decades is shaping up to be a major economic boost for the entire central Ontario region.

Doornekamp also invited the public to tour the facility.

Bridge Street Church was crowded with about 90 players for a final rehearsal Sunday evening for a special concert combining Quinte Symphony and the Northumberland Orchestra.

The concert, this coming Sunday, May 8 at 2:30 p.m., is a first-time event for both orchestras, presenting a concert that will justify musically their joining forces.

Not only was the front of the church filled to capacity with dozens of players, the building was more than filled with the harmonic sound emanating from the enlarged orchestra.

The program will include Poulenc’s beautifully haunting and inspiring “Gloria,” featuring a full choir plus soprano soloist, the Quinter area’s own Elizabeth MacDonald.

Also on the program is the evergreen symphonic favourite, Mussorgsky’s, “Pictures at an Exhibition.”

Tying in with that will be a display in the church of local art works from Gallery 121.

An original Canadian clarinet concerto by M. Baker called “Concerto for Clarinet, Piano, Percussion and Strings,” will top off the program.

Black plastic not recyclable, QWS says Quinte Waste Solutions is getting ahead of the gardening season to notify residents that black plastic is not recyclable, and is not accepted in the blue box.

The gardening season produces a large amount of planters, pots, and even soil bags.

And while a lot of these can be put in the blue box, there are rules.

“The plastic processors who purchase this material from us do not want black plastic, or dirty plastic. It’s not recyclable,” said Dan Orr, Communications Coordinator for Quinte Waste Solutions. “The revenue we see from sales goes directly into our operating budget.

If dirty or black plastic makes its way into the plastic we sell, it counts as contamination, and we see less revenue, which then has a direct effect on municipal taxes.”

Other coloured planters and pots are accepted, but they must be clean, have a recycling

symbol with a number 1, 2, or 5 on them, and be free of hangers and handles. Stack the clean, non-black planters and put them in your blue box with your other clean plastic containers. Soil bags are recyclable, but they must be clean, dry, and stuffed into a bag with other film (soft) plastic bags, such as grocery bags. Place this bag of bags on top of your paper-designated blue box on reAs this illustration shows, black plastic is not recyclable. Submitted photo cycling day.

“If you’re not willing to clean out these pots and planters, don’t put them in the blue box.

Ask your garden centre or nursery if they will take back black plastic planters, or find ways flyers. coupons. deals. cash back. to reuse them,” said Orr. “We’ve been talking about our operating budget for a few years now, and many savings come from how and what we all put to the curb on recycling day.”

TRAVEL

A Visit to the Huron Historic Gaol in Goderich, Ontario

By John M. Smith

While in Goderich, Ontario, sometimes referred to as “the prettiest town in Canada”, and home of the world’s largest operating salt mine, my wife and I decided to take a tour of the Huron Historic Gaol, for this imposing octagonal building served as the County Jail from 1841 to 1972. There’s a lot of history within these walls, and it’s now a designated National Historic Site and operated in conjunction with the Huron County Museum.

This particular historic “gaol” (the English spelling of “jail”) served the dual function of jail and courthouse until the County Courthouse was opened in 1856, and the first Huron District Council meeting was actually held right here on its third floor on Feb. 8, 1842. The governor, who was the head guard, lived right here with his family, on the second floor, until a wall of a courtyard was eventually knocked down and new, much more luxurious living quarters were constructed for them. This early 20th century Governor’s House, that’s attached to the historic gaol, is now a part of the tour.

We proceeded down a long tunnellike entrance before arriving inside the

gaol and then ascended the stairs to the third floor to begin our self-guided tour. We learned that there were only 12 single cells in the entire facility, and 3 of these were reserved for women. The unique design of 3 cells per wing in each of 4 wings supposedly allowed segregation of prisoners according to sex and severity of crime, said to be a “revolutionary advancement in early prison reform”, but overcrowding and “slips” led to some serious difficulties here, at times. For example, we learned that although this gaol was originally meant to be a temporary holding facility for criminals, there was certainly a wide variety of “criminals” housed here, and the facility was also used to house the homeless and the insane.

We visited the cell blocks, the gaoler’s first apartment, the kitchen, laundry, and surgeon’s rooms, and the inner courtyards, where prisoners could get some exercise while surrounded by the towering 18 foot rock walls that were also 2 feet thick and topped with loose stones. The prisoners were not to escape! We also discovered that there were many little anecdotes mounted on the interior walls of this historic gaol that detailed the background of some of the many prison-

ers who spent time here.

We read of Richard, Prisoner #320, age 33, who was arrested on Nov. 4, 1852 for “drunkenness”, just 4 days after arriving in Canada, and he was released the following day. Somewhat similarly, Maria, Prisoner #1982, age 28, was arrested on June 22, 1866 for the use of “insulting language”, and she was also released the very next day.

We read of William, Prisoner An exterior view of the Huron Historic Gaol. #1748, who was committed to the sons, and one of them was that it was Goderich Gaol on Dec. 14, 1864, age the site of Canada’s last public hang49, on the charge of “selling liquor ing, in 1869, and a colleague of mine, without a license”. He was released John Melady (a former Vice Principal on Jan. 13, 1865. at BCI) wrote a book about this in A more harrowing personal account Double Trap: The Last Public Hanging is that of Louis, Prisoner #6, age 29, in Canada.

that James Donnelly had been imprisoned there, and when I began my teaching career in a Stratford high school (Stratford Central Secondary School), one of the books that I was required to teach was The Donnellys Must Die, by Anglican minister Orlo Miller. This is a look at a true event, the massacre of the Donnellys by a vigilante group, and it occurred in Lucan, Ontario (near London) in 1880. An area newspaper proclaimed that “the massacre of the Donnelly family, in the township of Biddulph, by an armed mob, is a crime which has no parallel in the history of Canada”. This book led to lots of interesting class discussion, and I’ll always remember that, one day after class had ended, the last student to exit my classroom came to me and confided that he was a distant relative of the Donnellys, and he thought that this was an important historical case and book to be studying! That has always remained with me.

Yet another reason for visiting this gaol was that Steven Truscott had been there, too. Some of you may remember the famous case of that 14 year old boy who, in 1959, was found guilty of the rape and murder of his classmate and was to be hanged. I was told that as he sat in his cell, he could hear banging outside, and he imagined that someone was building his gallows! If you remember this case, you know that he was eventually acquitted of the murder in 2007.

Tours of the Huron Historic Gaol are inexpensive ($7.50 adult; $6.50 senior), and during the summer there are even special interactive “Behind the Bars” tours available on Tues. and Thurs. evenings for $10.00 ($25.00 per family), with “actor prisoners” telling their stories.

LIFESTYLES

The Good Earth:

Pest management has rules, regulations

Dan Clost In Ontario, the regulations concerning the use of pesticides are clear. In a nutshell, pesticides are grouped into Classes, some of which we can purchase off the shelf (Class 11) while others (Class 7) will be locked in a cabinet or storage area. Class 11 includes products such as corn gluten and acetic acid-vinegar. Class 7 chemicals are available for specific, noncosmetic uses, e.g. glyphosate (aka Wipe Out, Roundup, and Glyphos) poison ivy management. There are some variations (Classes 5& 6) which are easy to understand but, not wishing to use up my allotted column space in reprinting pedantic legalese regs, I will give you two options to decipher them. The first is to take a moment to peruse our province’s pertinent website, (www.ontario.ca/page/ pesticides-home-lawns-and-gardens.)

The second is to rely on the vendors to offer you an appropriate product. A pesticide vendor must attain certification through detailed training and examination in order to sell those pesticides. That certification permit will be publicly displayed in the store.

So, Gentle Reader, chemical and biological interventions are available to you if that is the route you decide to take. I wish you wouldn’t look upon these products as your first line of defense but as something you might employ if other options were unsuccessful. Here are some of those options: 1. Redefine your standards. It takes a lot of input to maintain a pure stand of Kentucky Bluegrass. Sow a mix of bluegrass, fescue, and ryegrass letting the environment sort them out. A monoculture front lawn is attainable without herbicides if you’re willing to invest time by pulling out weeds mechanically. If you’re old and decrepit (I feel your pain) or reckon your personal time is best spent elsewhere, hire the kid next door to pull up the dandelions, plantain, thistles, etc.

2. Pay attention to cultural practices.

What are the things you do now which can be modified to improve pest management not pest control? GR, as in B20

Section B - Thursday, May 5, 2016

life, control is an illusion and in the garden environment, control is an unrealistic objective.

So, while an insect free front lawn is neither possible nor desirable, you can manage the herd by modifying your actions. Simple things like raising the blade height on the lawnmower makes your lawn less attractive to Japanese beetles: using endophytic grasses, e.g. some fescues and ryegrasses (bugs don’t like the taste, in the mix can deter billbugs from gnoshing on your

greensward. Using less fertiliser is also helpful.

3a. IPM is your guide for intervention. Integrated Pest Management is both an action and a philosophy for managing pests on your property. The key is to identify and monitor threats.

If you see a plant that is deteriorating, e.g. a weak stand of grass or a shrub that is not thriving, address that issue before the bugs come along to take their advantage. When you do see bugs, identify them before eradicat-

ing the little buggers. A larval stage of the beneficial ladybug, for example, is a fierce looking chappie that fits well into a post-apocalyptic sci-fi flick where predatory bugs run rampant. Ugly is exo-skeleton deep.

3b. Intervene with the least intrusive and damaging management method available. (Don’t use the sledge if a tack hammer will do the job.) First question: “What will happen if I do nothing?” Second question: “Can I accept that outcome?” If “No.”, you

have two choices. Intervene or grow a different plant. If you grow plums, black knot will be along. Are you willing to implement an annual copper/sulphur spray regimen? No? Then buy plums at the farmer’s market and grow apples.

There are always means to circumvent the regulations. If you choose that route, you are not a gardener; you are not a steward of this good earth which sustains us. You are part of the problem. You are not a Gentle Reader.

Climate Action March planned for Belleville May 14

Belleville – While the stories surrounding climate change can be unrelentingly grim – detailing fires, floods, droughts, severe storms and climate refugees – a local Climate Action March aims to lighten the topic with a spirit of fun at a family-friendly event.

On Saturday, May 14, Quinte-area citizens are joining with people around the world united in the call for climate action. The goal is to remind global political leaders to keep the promises they made at the Paris Climate Talks last November.

The march begins at the Bel-

leville Public Library at 11 a.m., and ends at South George Park on the Bayshore Trail.

A traditional Mohawk opening and closing will be presented by Katsitsiase Maracle, grandmother and Cultural Advisor with First Nations Technical Institute.

The wearing of costumes and gladrags will turn this march into a parade, to the delight of children and everyone. Participants are encouraged to bring signs about climate change and the upcoming transition from a fossil fuel economy, and groups are welcome to bring their group banners.

Bicycles, skateboards and stilts will make fine non-motorized parade vehicles – and, if decorated, will contribute to the carnival atmosphere.

Close to the library, parking is available at municipal lots. At the end point, parking is ample.

Accessible bathrooms are available at both the library and South George Park.

For more information, contact Lindy Powell at 613-966-8676 or lindymaypowell@gmail.com) or John Lewis (Quinte Biosphere Defenders) at 613-475-5637 or john.travers.lewis@gmail.com .

Getting ready to celebrate in Hastings

By Bill Freeman Hastings – The May holiday weekend (May 20-22) in Hastings will be more than a celebration of Queen Victoria’s birthday; it will be a welcome back

Plans are moving ahead for a Celebrate Hastings party, that actually kicks off with the annual Midnight

Madness fishing derby Friday night, where the Hastings Revitalization Association (HRA) will also introduce their fishing line recycling program.

“Things are going pretty well,” says HRA secretary Shannon Lawrence of the celebration plans.

A “brainstorming” session at the Legion drew 16 people and produced “a lot of good ideas.”

The party builds on established events like the Hastings Village Market and the community yard sale in the ballpark, which carry into the afternoon “There is a lot of excitement around the weekend,” says Lawrence. “One reason we’re not blocking the street is because Hastings has had enough of street closures. This is a street opening.”

There will be a bouncy castle and cotton candy in the park from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and a decorated children’s bike parade at 3 p.m.

The Hastings Legion will serve food from 3 p.m. until 6 p.m., then have a DJ from 9 p.m. until 2 a.m., with the HRA and the CampbellfordSeymour Community Foundation hosting an outdoor family movie night at dusk in the ballpark with popcorn, refreshments and glow bracelets for sale.

Lawrence says buskers could be involved in the day-long event, which will include an official recognition

by Parks Canada – perhaps a cake or ribbon-cutting.

“Parks Canada wants to be involved.”

Hastings Waterfront Festival vendors will be contacted and encouraged to set up in town. Lawrence will also talk to downtown businesses about a sidewalk sale. The festival itself, will hold a pancake breakfast Sunday morning.

Other groups, like Community Care and the Hastings Library, will be asked if they’d like to participate.

Organizers will also speak to the Community Refugee Project because the sponsored family will be settling in Hastings, Lawrence said.

“It would be nice if they were at something large like this to provide information, so people know what to expect and kind of get rid of some of the fallacies.”

Tonnes taken out of fields, ditches, streams in Trash Bash

The Quinte area is a lot cleaner after more than 1,500 participants collected litter for the 16th annual Quinte Trash Bash Community Challenge that concluded on Saturday, April 23.

Residents of Belleville, Quinte West and Tyendinaga filled eight large dumpsters and 14 recycling carts with materials collected from roadsides, parks and ditches. In ad-

dition to standard litter such as coffee cups and plastic bottles, event organizers reported mattresses, furniture, tires, bicycles, used motor oil and old car parts among the items pulled from public spaces during the event.

“Some participants were so enthusiastic they’d come back to grab more bags and continue their cleanup,” says event volunteer For-

rest Holley-Hime. “It was awesome landfill and given a second life.” year and want to learn more? Visit: to see.”

Interested in participating next quintetrashbash.ca.

That same enthusiasm was displayed by local businesses and schools. Participation in the Business & School challenge, an event that ran during the week leading up to Trash Bash, more than doubled this year with over 600 volunteers and over 500 bags of garbage collected.

It is always inspiring to see youth get involved in this event and this year was no exception. A record number of students from across the three communities bashed trash on Earth Day on April 22 and once again, Quinte Secondary School’s Leadership Class organized cleanup events at their feeder elementary schools.

Thanks to Hastings & Prince Edward Public Health, Acklands Grainger and Rona, participants were well equipped for the task at hand with gloves, garbage bags and recycling bags.

Quinte Waste Solutions provided recycling carts to encourage separation of plastic and aluminum.

“Trash Bash participants and event volunteers did an amazing job sorting their recyclables this year,” praised Dan Orr, Communications Coordinator for Quinte Waste Solu(From left), Gary Magwood, Kim Payeur and Tom Lafferty worked the station at Belleville’s Market tions. “Thanks to them, 200 pounds Belleville parks department employee Jason Bellis lifts some garbage from a city truck to throw into Square, where they handed out garbage bags to Quinte Trash Bash participants.

thanks all the friends who visited during her last days and attended her visitation and funeral.

We were honoured by your attendance at the remembrance events on April 19 and 20, and touched that so many of you accompanied us to her interment at Mount Hope Cemetery.

Her last days were spent in comfort at The Bridge Hospice in Warkworth surrounded by loving caregivers. Family came from near and far, including Switzerland and the USA, to pay their respects – thanks Wolfgang. A special thanks to the CWL of Holy Angels Church for the reception.

Family praised for Frink boardwalk gift

By Jack Evans Plainfield - A new viewing deck as part of the boardwalk trail at the H.R. Frink Conservation Area near Plainfield was made possible by a donation from the family of the original pioneer landowner, the official opening was told last week.

A half-kilometre boardwalk has been a feature of the popular park and outdoor education centre for about 20 years after being constructed over two years in 1995-97 by Friends of the Frink support group. Last year, the agency learned that many sections now need replacing so fundraising started. Thanks to a generous donation from the estate of

the late Peter Miller in memory of his late wife and brother, the project added a complete new section and octagonal viewing deck, named the Miller Wetland Ecology Boardwalk.

Peter Courtland Miller, late of 282 Thrasher Road, was a great great grandson of one of the original landowners in Thurlow Township, Adam Henry Mott (1837-1920 and Nancy Hicks Mott (1844-1923) of Latta, who settled the land on the southwest corner of Bronk Road/Thrasher Road during the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Both are now buried in Victoria cemetery, Bronk Road.

Grandson of Miller, W. Mott, was one of the earliest principals of Fox-

boro Public School and first principal of Queen Alexandra School, Belleville (now the board of education offices.) Family history also ties it in with other prominent names, including Pitman, Canniff and Moore.

Peter Miler’s former home backed onto the Frink Centre and he was always very interested in the activity surrounding the wildlife sanctuary and boardwalk and its significance to the outdoor education programs.

Several members of the family were among the almost 40 who attended the official opening April 28 and expressed their gratitude to the conservation authority for naming the deck in Peter Miller’s memory.

More than 40 people attended the ribbon cutting at the H.R. Frink Centre for the newly refurbished boardwalk. Photo Submitted
