Celebrate Havelock shines in anniversary spotlight

OVER 60 YEARS EXPERIENCE

BY BILL FREEMAN

Havelock — Celebrate Havelock doesn’t rest on its laurels but it has every right to bask in some of the afterglow of its tenth anniversary.

The May 13 community showcase drew over 1,000 people to the arena and surrounding park participating in an event that sets the stage for summer activities in HavelockBelmont-Methuen (HBM).

Over 65 exhibitors filled the indoor-outdoor venue with the Eastlink pavilion stage returning for a second year as the hot spot for entertainment along with the much appreciated addition of the area’s newest and coolest craft brewer, Belmont Lake Brewery.

“It’s a real community thing,” Celebrate Havelock committee chair Jim Martin said while standing near the popular Tim Hortons coffee truck, which served up free java.

Martin’s been involved in all 10 events and marvels at the foresight of Cliff and Wendy Clarke and the HBM Chamber of Commerce who developed the inaugural Celebrate Havelock.

“It’s still going and I think it’s going to keep going,” he said.

Martin says people want to be involved in Celebrate Havelock because it gives them a real opportunity to showcase what they do while also acting as a bit of a networking event for them.

cause they see the value of hosting and events like it in HBM. “We’ve got a great core of volunteers but we’re always looking for more to make this happen.”

There’s a real “sense of pride” as

he walks around the venue.

“You get to see how all the work was worth it (especially) when you see how busy it gets.”

Donor support has pushed the value of prizes past $10,000 and a

big marketing push has expanded the target range for visitors.

Martin considers it a “real compliment” that other nearby towns have launched similar shows.

Stirling-Rawdon council rejects OPP costing

BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling—After initially showing strong signs of favouring a change from a municipal police service to the Ontario Provincial Police, Stirling-Rawdon Council decided the deal simply wasn’t good enough, and voted to reject the proposal at its Monday, May 15 meeting.

“I think we’re being unfairly taken advantage of,” said Mayor Rodney Cooney. “I don’t think it’s a good enough deal for the taxpayers.”

He said the proposed $1.5-million annual cost the OPP proposed was too high for the size of the township in comparison with what other area municipalities are charged. Rejecting the proposal, he said, would allow for discussion to try to get a better deal from the OPP. The decision was not unanimous.

The lone dissenter was Councillor Dean Graff, who did not specifically vote against it, but did not vote for it, either.

“If you reject this costing as it is right now, do they (OPP) come back with another offer?” he asked.

“I was under the impression that that $1.5 million was bringing us in line with the other municipalities.”

Cooney said the costing cannot go higher than was proposed, but that the current proposal is much more than what neighbouring municipalities pay.

“We’re a million (dollars) more than Marmora, and we’re $900,000 more than Centre Hastings, and we’re half a million more than Tweed and we’re a million three than Tyendinaga,” Cooney said.

“So what are we trying to accomplish here?” Graff asked. “Do we want the same type of service that we have today?”

“No,” Cooney said. “We want the same service as the surrounding municipalities.”

“But we’re not a surrounding municipality; we’re Stirling-Rawdon,” Graff replied. “We want the same type of coverage that we have today in Stirling-Rawdon. That’s what I want.”

But Cooney said that maintaining the status quo is not possible.

“I just don’t believe we can do it,

because we’re a million dollars more than our surrounding municipalities,” he said. “I don’t believe we’re two and a half times more dangerous than any other municipality.

“I think, in order to be sustainable, in order to compete, in order to get infrastructure money, we’ve got to try for a better deal with the OPP.” And, he said, the only way to change the proposed deal is to reject it.

So what comes next?

Cooney said a letter of rejection will be sent to the OPP. “As soon as we get the letter sent — that’ll probably take two or three days — and then I’ll be on the phone with them,” the mayor said.

Speaking at the Stirling-Rawdon council meeting on Monday, May 15, Mayor Rodney Cooney explained the reasons why council needed to reject the OPP costing proposal and try for a better deal.

Rained-out Stirling Rotary yard sale postponed until Saturday, May 27

Correction An article in the May 11, 2017 edition of the Central Hastings Trent Hills newspaper titled “Madoc Township’s 2017 residential tax rate set at 2.78 per cent” included an incorrect dollar amount provided by the township, stating that, “Overall reserves are being used to offset 2017 operating and capital expendi-

tures by a total of $334,000, leaving a balance of $852,558.05”. It should have read: “Overall reserves are being used to offset 2017 operating and capital expenditures by a total of $555,000 leaving a balance of $852,558.05.” The tax rate is the same.

Marmora’s Crowe River Municipalities approached for Heights subdivision granted increased financial support for an extension Central Hastings Transit program

BY SUE DICKENS

Marmora — The Crowe River Heights Subdivision, which has a checkered backstory about how it came to be, has been granted another extension for the finalization of the subdivision agreement.

The request was made by solicitor for the company, Michael Woods, who appeared before Marmora and Lake council at a recent regular meeting.

The subdivision is located at the north end of Hayes Street, near the town water tower.

In November 2016 an agreement was entered into between the town and the subdivision owner 2487625 Ontario Inc. to allow servicing to be connected to an initial model home constructed on the 40-acre site which was completed the end of September the same year.

The agreement required a subdivision agreement to be entered into and registered on title by the end of April, 2017.

Providing a summary and history Woods said, “It’s been time consuming and complicated.” Explaining the reasons such as delays hearing back from the engineers Greer Gal-

loway Consulting and the Crowe Valley Conservation Authority, there was also an issue of water pressure to the subdivision.

“We have installed a water pump in the model home using a local plumber and the water pressure is really good now,” said Woods.

The process, he added, has been “a ton of work but 80 to 85 per cent is done, ... “hydro, Bell, cable, and the gas companies have all seen the plans and are ready to sign on.”

Woods pointed out the company actually has until 2019 to get everything sorted “but everybody wants to move it forward.”

Woods requested an extension until the end of 2017. “I am hoping it won’t take 30 to 60 days to get this finalized but if not in September I am prepared to come back to council.”

Woods noted that the subdivision is on limestone bedrock which is “pushing the cost much higher ... and those costs have to be recovered.” He added, at the same time, “makes them suitable for people to live in them.”

Mayor Terry Clemens commented, “We do appreciate and understand what you are up against.”

Tony Long, vice chair of CHSN, Sally Gale, executive director, and Tonny Braden, board member, attended a meeting of Marmora and Lake council and asked for increased funding for the Central Hastings Support Network’s Rural Transit program.

Sue Dickens/Metroland

BY SUE DICKENS

Marmora — Increased ridership and demand for more service are the challenges being faced by the free Central Hastings Support Network’s Rural Transit program.

As a result, Sally Gale, executive director of the Central Hastings Support Network (CHSN), has been making the rounds to municipalities asking for an increase in their financial support, and recently appeared before the councils of Marmora and Lake and Madoc Township.

Her request is under consideration, although 2017 budgets have already been approved.

Following her presentation to Marmora and Lake, council agreed to provide a response to her request for an additional $5,000 in funding by the end of May. In the past the municipality has given $1,000. It could be that the request will need to be deferred until next year’s budget deliberations.

“An increase of $5,000 from each municipality would enable us to put on an extra run to Belleville at 10:30 a.m. as well as the existing early morning and afternoon runs every week day,” she told Marmora and Lake council.

“This extra funding would also help us with increased costs associated with the larger vehicles now required to keep up with the

increased demand,” she added.

Last November CHSN purchased a second 16-seater, two-wheelchair accessible bus to meet the demand.

Central Hastings Transit provides subsidized transportation between the municipalities of Centre Hastings, Madoc Township, Stirling Rawdon, Tweed and Marmora and Lake and the City of Belleville.

These five municipalities form the partnership which enables Central Hastings Transit to benefit from a grant from the provincial gas tax rebate program each year, and “we are required to confirm that all five municipalities provide financial support for the Central Hastings Transit,” she said in her presentation to Marmora and Lake council.

The "transit partners group" with municipality and Central Hastings Support Network representatives, continues to meet quarterly and includes discussions on ways to increase transit ridership.

Two recommendations which have come from the group have been addressed in the past year. The first was the need for increased bus stop signage and the second, for transportation to and from Belleville hospital, both of which has happened.

Gale will be appearing before Stirling and Tweed and Centre Hastings councils in June.

“Rider fees are only 30 per cent of the budget,” of $150,000, explained Gale. She asked council for anything extra over the municipality’s 2016 support of $2,000.

ing to electronic voting falling in line with a trend across Peterborough County. The move also mirrors the results of a recent township survey with 96 per cent of respondents supporting Internet-telephone voting.

“It appears from the survey that a great number of people are in favour of it,” said Mayor Ron Gerow.

One-hundred-and-ninety people took part in the survey, which used the municipality’s website, the Trent Hills News and tax bills to distribute the brief questionnaire. The majority of the respondents (78 per cent) were 50 or older.

“This is the way people are going,” said Deputy-Mayor Jim Martin. “It does seem the way to go.

This is the next step.”

“But for what’s worth the survey is geared towards people who are going to do it,” Martin added.

Gerow reassured electors that those who prefer the more traditional way of a voting will be able to do that.

“They’ll have a chance to go to the hall and vote and there will be a lot of people who do,” he said.

Township clerk Bob Angione said that the system that will be used is secure; the municipality received that assurance from Stephen Beamish of Dominion Voting during a presentation.

In a report, Angione noted that those who said no in their survey felt there was “no need to change the system that had been in place for years.”

“It is important to note that electors who chose to vote by the traditional paper ballot will still have that option on election day,” Angione stressed.

Angione says there are “benefits” to Internet and telephone voting.

Benefits include ease of voting for seasonal residents and those unable to visit a traditional polling station, increased voter turnout, quicker results, significant savings in staff time and instantaneous updates to the voters list and quicker access to voter’s lists for candidates.

All county municipalities have now endorsed Internet and telephone voting and a joint RFP has been issued.

Election day is Oct. 22, 2018.

Restaurant owner voices opposition to new chip truck

BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford — The owner of a local restaurant appeared before council at a recent meeting voicing his opposition to a chip truck opening near his business.

David Sun, the owner of a Captain George’s Fish and Chips franchise here, voiced his concerns about the truck which will be set up across the street.

He requested to speak to council after learning that an amendment made by council at a previous meeting to a food vending vehicles (separation distances) bylaw had changed the minimum setback or separation between restaurants and food vending vehicles from a minimum requirement of 100 metres to 76 metres.

The property and vehicle met all the requirements of the bylaw, except the setback requirement.

The request for the amendment had been made to council by Scott Beamish owner of Beamish's Flooring and Window Fashions, located at 103 Doxsee Ave N. at Market Street so that a chip truck could be set up there by Rick Ray. Sun asked several questions including if council has documentation of the measurements, why not 80 metres or 90 metres, and if the changes apply to “everybody who wants to set up a chip truck anywhere in downtown Campbellford ... or just for this particular person.”

He also asked, “How come I didn’t get informed to come to the meeting to talk about this because of the impact on my business. I don’t know why. I think I should get at least some respect as a business taxpayer.”

Sun also said, “I think this chip truck is a business that will cause conflicts as a business interest. If my business goes down because of this, I have four employees ... that might leave me no choice ... and create unemployment ... I hope you will reconsider your decision.”

He was accompanied by a friend Joanne McIntosh, who spoke to council, on his behalf, with some emotion noting the controversy in Bobcaygeon a couple “Caring for your family’s dental health” of years ago about a second chip truck in town which was eventually permitted.

McIntosh noted chip trucks should “be well away from existing businesses and serving road traffic, for example, as you go out of town or visiting traffic as people go to their cottages. To have it in front Captain George’s is plain ridiculous.”

Responding to Sun’s questions Jim Peters, director planning for Trent Hills, explained that measuring is done on-site and by using a geographic information system (GIS) system.

Trent Hills mayor, noting the bylaw applies to everybody not just this one situation, and stated, “The bylaw is still extremely restrictive. A chip truck must be on private property so it’s not like it is in other municipalities and in Toronto where they are allowed on side streets.”

He pointed out in Toronto they are “actually encouraging mobile food vendors and specifically numbers of ethnic food vendors to recognize the cultural diversity of Canada and they all seem to be quite Your Stirling Dental Centre Team! busy.”

Trusted Family care for your families The mayor added, “personally, and this is just Hector talking, I don’t think it’s a great location for a chip truck. It will likely do well for the short period when the high school is open but during the summertime it’s out of the way.” & Associates It ended with the mayor commenting, “I hope it does not affect your business but I’m sure if it does Dr. Lauren Allen, Dr. Ross Erwin, Dr. John Allen you’ll let us know.”

Continuing to serve the Stirling Community for over 30 years.

Sum responded that it would be too late.

OPINION

Preposterous times: It’s going to be a long 4 years All the talk of special prosecutors and the like will not bring the man to book. The soap opera will continue and no amount of dysfunction in the White House will make it stop until early 2019 at best. Even though a great deal of damage will have done by then.

Gwynne Dyer been Some of the damage will only affect the United States. Donald Trump doesn’t often violate the Constitution, but he breaks all the unwritten rules that regulate the behaviour of public officials: don’t use your office to enrich yourself, don’t give plum jobs to your relatives, don’t fire the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation because he’s leading an investigation into possibly treasonous behaviour among your close associates.

However, these are domestic American problems, and the American republic will survive them. In four years, or at most eight, Trump will be gone, and more-or-less normal service will resume. But the same recklessness, brought to bear on foreign affairs, may have far bigger consequences.

Most of the concern at the moment is focused on North East Asia where Trump’s scarcely veiled threat to “do something” about North Korea could escalate a long-standing problem into a “major, major conflict”. But most other major players in the North East Asian game are grownups who do not want a nuclear war in their region, so the risk of a calamity there is much smaller than it looks.

The Middle East is more frightening than north east Asia in this context, for half the countries of the regions are already at war one way or another, none of the regimes really feels secure – and Trump has already launched a missile strike against the Syrian regime.

He justified it as retaliation for the alleged use of poison gas by the Assad regime – an allegation that has not been conclusively proved – but most people in the region take it as a sign that he is joining the Sunni side of a region-wide SunniShia war.

This alignment didn’t start with Trump, of course. For more than half a century the United States has seen Saudi Arabia, the effective leader of the Sunni bloc, as its most important ally in the Middle East, and for the past forty years it has regarded Iran as the root of all evil in the region.

Iran is the leader of the Shia bloc. In fact, it is the only big and powerful Shia country. Trump has already expressed hostility towards Iran, and his intentions to abandon the treaty that President Obama signed to contain Iran’s nuclear weapons

ambitions for the next ten years. And on Friday Trump is making his first foreign visit – to Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the defacto ruler of Saudi Arabia and leader of the Sunni bloc.

Although Prince Mohammed is almost forty years younger than Donald Trump, the two men share several striking characteristics. The Saudi Arabian leader (his father, King Salman, is 81 and not fully functional) is not as ignorant as Trump, but the two men are almost twins in temperament. The Prince is just as vain as Trump, just as impulsive, and just as likely to start a fight he can’t finish.

Prince Mohammed’s escalation of Saudi Arabian support for the al Qaeda-linked faction in the Syrian civil war two years ago was the direct cause for the Russian intervention that ultimately saved the Assad regime. His military intervention in Yemen, trying to put the Saudi Arabian-imposed president back into power has led only to an unwinnable war and a looming famine in the country. And he’s up for fighting Iran too.

In an interview broadcast this month on Saudi TV he said: “we will not wait until the battle is in Saudi Arabia. We will work so the battle is in Iran.” Why? Because, according to the Prince, Iran’s leaders are planning to seize Islam’s most sacred city, Mecca, in the heart of Saudi Arabia, and establish their rule over the world’s billion and a half Muslims.

This is paranoid nonsense. Only one tenth of the world’s Muslims are Shia. The only three Muslim countries (out of 50) where they are the majority are Iran, Iraq and tiny Bahrein.

Iran sends troops to help the beleaguered, Shiadominated Assad regime in Syria, and money and weapons to the (Shia) Hezbollah movement in Lebanon. But in the 38 years since the current regime came to power in Tehran, it has never invaded anybody And the notion that it could or would invade Saudi Arabia is simply laughable.

Never-the-less, what matters here are not the facts but what Trump and Prince Mohammed may believe to be the facts. So the prospect of the two men getting together in Riyadh will arouse dread in Iran, and in some other quarters as well.

It’s preposterous to imagine that Saudi Arabia would attack Iran directly or that the United States would encourage Saudi Arabia or pursue such a strategy – or that Russia would let itself be drawn in on the other side. But we do live in preposterous times.

There is no chance that the Republican majority in the US Congress would impeach Donald Trump before the mid-term elections in late 2018 no matter what he does. Unless there is a complete collapse in the Republican vote then, they won’t impeach him either. It’s going to be a long four years.

Norwood Lions recycling day helps purge 'dinosaur' TVs

BY BILL FREEMAN

Norwood — People looking to rid themselves of “dinosaur” television sets, video players and other unused electronic items were given that opportunity by the Norwood Lions on May 6 during their annual recycling day. It was a “day of service” event for the club which also accepted textiles as a fundraiser to help the fight against cerebral palsy.

“All Lions are supposed to do something community-oriented (on the day of service) whether with kids or the environment and we chose the environment,” said club member Brian Radnor who was one the event’s organizers.

Radnor said the Ontario Electronic Stewardship (OES) program “was very instrumental” in helping the club with the event providing a bin which they hauled away.

“We provide the labour,” he said. “Now that they include textiles I think it’s just over $200 a tonne comes back to the club. They do the sorting; all we have to do is load the bin.

“It’s a bit of a fundraiser for the Lions and a bit of a purge and community service as well to get these old dinosaur TVs out of people’s basements.”

The textile collection, Radnor said, is something the club first tried last year and they’re pleased to learn proceeds benefit cerebral palsy research and support.

“You’re not just throwing it in the dump; they’re getting recycled and sorted through.”

The club was happy with the response de-

Bill Freeman/Metroland spite soggy conditions; after three years in a row Radnor wondered if there’d be anybody in the area still holding on to clunker TVs. But they had calls from Hastings and Marmora and club members volunteered to collect electronic items from people unable to lift or deliver them.

“A lot of this stuff has been down in basements and hasn’t been seen or looked at for a long time,” he said.

“In Norwood, anything you do with the Lions there are always lots of volunteers which makes it very easy,” he added. “It’s kind of a social event too.”

Virtual reality math at NDHS

BY BILL FREEMAN

Norwood — Grade eights from Havelock Belmont Public School got a virtual taste of what math will be like when they make the jump to Norwood District High School (NDHS) this fall.

Students from NDHS feeder schools have been spending time at the high school over the school year during special days designed to alleviate some of the jitters and apprehensions they might be feeling as they look ahead to grade nine.

The grade eight days have been successful and have made the transition from elementary to secondary school less intimidating. Young teens arriving at NDHS this fall will know the school, its teachers and many of the students; they’ll also be familiar with courses, extracurricular activities and other unique features NDHS has to offer.

One of those “unique features” is virtual reality (VR) math, something department head Marsha Hanak showed students who visited her classroom May 4.

During part of the class she logged onto an educational math website and connected it to the student’s personal devices.

The highlight was introducing them to the VR headset they’ll get to use next year.

A technology specialist friend of Hanak’s in South Carolina gave her the idea of using virtual reality in her class.

“I saw that she was working in a classroom with virtual reality with an elementary teacher. I thought we could try using that in our classroom.”

Hanak received a technology grant through the public school board to make it happen.

“I thought this was something that would really meet the student’s interests and needs. My idea is to take the students somewhere and look

at a real-life problem then model it on paper and solve it.”

With the VR head set they don’t need to leave the classroom to explore math problems in distant locations.

It’s something Hanak’s grade 10 students have already done, creating 360 degree images and “modelling problems based on the curriculum they’ve been taught.

“Most students chose to use trigonometry to solve a real life problem.”

MP Bossio calls for community based project proposals supporting seniors

BY SUE DICKENS

Hastings-Lennox and Addington — A call for proposals for communitybased projects in support of seniors has been announced by Mike Bossio, MP for Hastings-Lennox and Addington.

“It’s so important for seniors in rural areas like ours to get out and socialize and be active. New Horizons for Seniors Program projects promote seniors’ volunteerism, mentorship and civic leadership and inspire goodwill, sharing and friendship in Canadian communities,” he stated in a press release.

Seniors make significant and valuable contributions to their families, communities and society and that is why the federal government “remains committed to empowering all Canadians, including seniors, to contribute to and share in the prosperity of the country”.

The announcement was made Monday, May 15, on behalf of the Honourable Jean-Yves Duclos, minister of families, children and social development.

The New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP) for 2017-18 proposals are to not only encourage seniors to stay involved in their community, but also enhance their health and wellbeing and enable them to stay active and share their knowledge, skills and experience with other seniors.

The NHSP call, open until June 23, is seeking proposals for projects led or inspired by seniors. Organizations are invited to apply for funding for projects that promote positive aging and empower seniors to initiate and participate in activities that benefit the community. Eligible organizations can receive up to $25,000 in project funding.

“These projects help seniors in our community keep active, stay connected, share their knowledge and continue to enhance their skills. I encourage local organizations to apply for New Horizons for Seniors Program project funding to provide seniors with the opportunity to both participate in and lead community activities,” said Bossio.

I didn’t expect it to feel like home.

Sod turning ceremony for new Madoc Baptist Church

BY SUE DICKENS

Madoc — A sod turning ceremony was held recently as the congregation gathered to celebrate its fundraising efforts for Madoc Baptist Church’s new building.

With the help of Claire Miller, an experienced fellowship "quick build" worker, and the church’s architect, Mark Hicks, plans were put in place last year to work toward pouring the foundation in May 2017 and doing a quick build in August.

So far the plans are on track in terms of the timeline.

To be located at 37 Seymour Street, (behind Mac’s Milk) the members of the congregation joined Pastor Harry Toews for the ground breaking ceremony along with MPP Prince Edward-Hastings Todd Smith, Andy Logan the building chair and Jean Scott, a 47-year member of the congregation (longest attending member) as well as Centre Hastings Mayor Tom Deline and others.

A fundraising dinner followed at the Kiwanis Centre. The congregation has raised more than $500,000 so far toward the projected cost of $800,000.

Pastor Toews talked about the need for a new building in Madoc as the congregation grows. This is all happening at a time when some churches are seeing declining numbers forcing them to look at closing some of their churches or amalgamating their congregations.

“I just think that, and I will share my bias, churches have walked away from the central message supposed to be proclaiming that Jesus died for us and our sins to rise again,” commented Pastor Toews. “If you leave that then we’re nothing more than a social club so we try to be faithful to that message.”

He added: “People come to be faithful to Christ and it’s changing their lives. People are attracted to that. That’s why this is hap-

pening today for us.”

Pastor Toews said he didn’t grow up as a Baptist and noted: “It’s not about denomination, it’s about a living personal relationship with Jesus Christ and the truth of the bible. Sometimes people are lost and befuddled about denominations. It’s about people having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, no matter what the denomination.”

The latest information on the church’s website states that foundation site preparation and construction is slated for the period May 8 through May 19.

Building construction is supposed to take place Aug. 14 to Aug. 25.

Campbellford Farmers’ Market donates to community gardens’ wheelchair accessibility project

BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford — Growing partnerships have led to the donation of a cheque from the Campbellford Farmers’ Market to the Campbellford Community Edibles Garden.

“We are putting this money toward building a wheelchair accessible garden,” said garden committee chair Julie Owens.

Tweed Library will host fantasy author Lena Coakley Lena Coakley, a young adult fantasy author, is the featured speaker at the Tweed Public Library on Thursday, May 25, at 7 p.m. Worlds of Ink and Shadow, her novel on the Brontë siblings based on their own youthful writings, brings to life one of history’s most celebrated literary families.

Coakley’s appearance is the second of four in the library’s 2017 Writers Series, sponsored by the Friends of the Tweed Library and supported by the Canada Council for the Arts.

Born in the U.S., the Globe and Mail best-selling author now hails from Toronto. Her first novel, Witchlanders, won the Crystal Kite award for the Americas in 2012. The prize is awarded by the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators.

The Kirkus Review called it “one stunning teen debut.”

Following on the success of her first novel, Worlds of Ink and Shadow was published by HarperCollins in 2016 and immediately garnered positive reviews. The CBC called it

10 Central Hastings Trent Hills News - Thursday, May 18, 2017

one of the best books of 2016 and the Ontario Library Association listed it as a best bet.

“Coakley has written an intricate, evocative, and imaginative story that honours its subjects’ legacy while expertly building on the foundation of emotionally resonant storytelling at which they were so proficient,” wrote Quill & Quire.

The Irish Times said, “The story comes up with a rather ingenious explanation why their lives were destined to be short and clearly fore-

shadows their mature masterpieces.”

Autographed books will be available and refreshments will be served.

Freewill donations are appreciated.

The library is located at 230 Metcalf St. in Tweed.

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

For further information, go to tweedlibrary.ca.

“This will go toward the materials and plants to fill the garden boxes.”

The planting boxes are being built by students at the Campbellford District High School and will be “just inside the garden” on Doxsee Avenue North.

“There are people who can come to the front of the garden but because it is uneven ground they can’t get into the garden in their wheelchairs or their walkers, even strollers can prove to be difficult,” noted Owens.

The donation, $200, was the result of a conversation between Amanda Vaughan, the market’s secretary and Donna McComb, whom she met where she works at a local business in town.

“Amanda came in to the store and we started chatting. I had no idea who she was and I get a little passionate about things and the next thing you know I get an email from her,” said McComb with enthusiasm.

Vaughan commented, “Donna was telling me about the wonderful different projects at the garden and I thought it might be a really good partnership with the farmers’ market.”

Jenny Madden chair of the Campbellford Farmers’ Market Vendors’ Association said, “Every year we try to do a charitable donation, it’s part of our initiative to have some community involvement and we thought this year this would be a good fit for us.”

Lots of blooming tulips to celebrate Canada’s birthday

BY LYNN MARRIOTT

Tweed — Tulips were blooming and voices sang out “with glowing hearts we stand on guard” for our home and native land. It was Tweed’s 150th Celebration Garden Blooming Ceremony. In 2016, Tweed was chosen as one of 150 communities by the Canadian Garden Council to receive 1,000 red and white tulip bulbs. Volunteers planted the bulbs in McCamon Park, which is the Tweed entrance to the Eastern Ontario Trails. The plantings are now known as the Tweed 150th Commemorative Celebration Garden. On May 2 a third of the tulips, mostly red, were blooming splendidly.

The Municipality of Tweed planted more than 2,000 of the specially designed Canada 150 tulips in 2016. The tulips can be seen blooming in Tweed and the hamlets now and for years to come. Deputy Mayor Brian Treanor, two Tweed elementary school classes, and about 40 residents gathered to celebrate Canada’s birthday.

nox and Addington, praised the tulips and Tweed at the event.

Tweed’s troubadour, Scott Pettigrew, led everyone in O Canada, and continued with a serenade of songs including This Land is Your Land. Teacher Karen Rivers and principal Wendy Hay, of St. Carthagh Catholic School, accompanied the Grade 5 class. Lisa Sherlock escorted her Tweed Elementary School Grade 2 class. One by one, the students shared their heartfelt reasons why Canada is a great place to live.

"The Tweed Horticultural

Society is dedicated to beautifying Tweed and the hamlets. Gardens are important to our history, enjoyment and pleasure of living in Tweed," said Elizabeth Churcher, president of society and keynote speaker.

A Canadian birthday booth, well appointed with Canadiana props, was created by Genevieve Barber and Tom Andrews of Spot-On Woodworking. Linda Myrie did the painting. Rachelle Heardesty, Tweed community development manager, thanked the Tweed community for its continued support.

Spelling bee champs overcome nerves

BY BILL FREEMAN

Hastings — They were confident in their spelling, but could they overcome jitteriness and nerves?

Anxiety might have been the biggest hurdle Jaimin Patel and Aum Bhatia had to jump as they claimed titles at the annual Hastings Public School spelling bee competition — an event that’s become an enjoyable celebration of the complexities and beauty of the English language. “I was a little bit nervous, but tried to hide it,� said Aum, a Grade 5 student who won the junior title. “In the end, I had to stay calm.

When I face a difficult word, I close my eyes and try to think the word in my mind. I ask them to repeat it and then put the sounds together.�

Jaimin, in Grade 8, won the intermediate division. He also had to contend with nerves.

To try to quell what is really a normal human reaction to performance stress, Jaimin did what an

athlete or performer might have done. “I focused on the word.�

He also tried to remember the sounds specific words make, something Grade 2 and 3 teacher Sarah Friesen worked on while running spelling bee practices for the past two months. “It was a lot of fun,� Jaimin added with a smile. “I was really impressed with the kids, especially the juniors, because they actually came to practice,� Friesen said.

She and the students worked on “strategies� like “breaking (words) into syllables and talking about how words don’t always make sense, because English is such an interesting language that comes from so many other languages.� “If you read the word phonetically and make it kind of silly, at least that helps you with your spelling.�

Friesen says the students man-

aged their nervousness very well. “Some didn’t make eye contact with their peers, some closed their eyes, some would write (the word) in the air or on the podium.�

The students in the audience appreciated what was happening, she said. “The kids clapped for each student after each word and that was really good. The audience got really excited.�

There were 12 juniors and four intermediates in the competition. “It’s good they have more challenging words in their vocabulary,� says Friesen. “The spelling bee really helps with core learning. They had a lot of fun.�

Jaimin Patel and Aum Bhatia claimed Spelling Bee titles at Hastings Public School.

has begun again. We have had two meetings so far. Our first meeting was at the Springbrook Hall, where we discussed meeting dates, elected our council and welcomed any new or returning members to our club. Our next meeting was at McKeown Motor Sales in Springbrook. We watched a few short clips about how to operate farm machinery, such as the tractors we will be using, safely. We also went for a tour of the lot and looked at all of the different plows that McKeown had.

We talked about the parts of them and how to be safe while using a plow. We then ate pizza and dessert provided by McKeown’s. Our next meeting is on May 29, 2017 in the field behind McKeown Motor Sales. This will be our first meeting using the tractors and plows.

Midnight Madness will celebrate ten years with some celebrity help

BY BILL FREEMAN

Hastings — Fishing guide extraordinaire and television celebrity Taro Murata will help celebrate the tenth anniversary of Midnight Madness in Hastings May 1920.

The big fishing party on the bridge near Lock 18 is hosted by the Hastings Historical Society; it’s grown in popularity and heralds the beginning of Walleye season and the fact that Hastings, the 2012 World Fishing Network’s Ultimate Fishing Town champion, has the only bridge in Ontario that’s within a conservation area where fishing is allowed from May until November.

Midnight Madness is a Trent Hills Canada 150 event celebrating the rich and ancient fishing heritage of Hastings and district which started with the First Nations, says HHS member Skye Morrison,

and a Midnight Madness host along with Ian Wilkins and Alice Hall.

The event starts at 11 p.m. with fishing beginning at midnight.

Murata, the son of acclaimed artist, jazz musician and former professional tennis player San Murata, is a bona fide social media star and frequent fishing partner of Bob Izumi. Murata runs highly-regarded Fish City Tours and has large followings on Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook.

“He’s one of the hottest young guides in fishing,” says Morrison. “He’ll bring young people which is really what I think is important.”

Morrison applied for a Celebrate Ontario grant but that fell through. The grant would have allowed them to host Murata and a video crew for three days but they’re pleased Murata has agreed to come for Friday evening and Saturday

morning.

“It was supposed to be a whole big thing sponsored by Celebrate Ontario.

Taro has still agreed to come. We hoped to get three people to come but I can’t find any funding on short notice.”

They plan to take Murata to Elmhirst's Resort on Rice Lake Saturday where he’ll meet members of the Rice Lake Tourist Association who will take him out on the lake.

As usual, Midnight Madness has received lots of “very good donations” for prizes which will be drawn throughout the night and early morning. Draw winners don’t need to be at the bridge to win.

To enter the fishing contest you need a licence and at least one $2 raffle ticket.

Fishing prizes are $50 for the first fish caught after midnight, $30 for the second, and $20 for the third.

Campbellford — The Jolicoeur Gallery’s owners Krystal and Dennis Roach will be hosting a grand opening of their location at 48 Bridge St. E., on Saturday, May 20 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

They have decided to take what has been an online business to a brick and mortar venue.

“The gallery has a wide selection of different types of work(s) of art. We have antique and vintage, international and Canadian paintings,” Krystal told the Trent Hills News.

“We are also able to help with researching paintings that come from private collections. For example if you have a piece of art that has been in your family for years and can’t figure out who may have painted it, we may be able to help,” she added.

The gallery is also a place

where “We have a showcase for local artists to sell their work(s).”

One of the paintings they are selling is called Dead Pines by artist Alex Cameron, who Krystal explained, “Is an established figure in the Toronto arts community.”

Other paintings in the gallery researched by the couple include those of Otto Planding, Gerald Gladstone and George Franklin Arbuckle R.C.A. “We have a tribute painting of van Dyck. This means the painting is attributed to the artist. It has to be authenticated so if something has a Certificate of Authority (COA) it is authentic,” she explained.

The couple moved to Campbellford from Havelock about three years ago and has been selling art online in places such as eBay.

Straight shaft brushcutters are the choice of lawn care professionals and large property owners. They are known to manage heavier brush and thicker weeds better than curved shaft models. Straight shaft brushcutters have more reach and some can interchange cutting attachments like metal blades to offer enhanced versatility. Taller individuals enjoy the extended length of the shaft. For the avid user bike handles are also available.

Building on recommendations included in the County of Northumberland’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP), the County is developing a standardized approach to traffic calming at locations where speeding issues exist on County roadways at the “entries” to hamlets and other rural communities. The proposed approach will focus on gateway treatments to be located at the speed zone transitions. The gateway treatments will combine a number of traffic calming measures, which may include lane narrowing, enhanced signage and pavement markings.

To evaluate its effectiveness, the proposed traffic calming approach will be implemented at two pilot project locations in 2017.

The pilot project locations will include the implementation of traffic calming gateway treatments on:

Festival of Sacred Praise holds 67th annual concert

Dress a girl program galvanizes school

Stirling – About three dozen acts ranging from scriptural readings, public speaking, singing and instrumental music performed during the Concert of Stars at St. Paul's United Church on May 12. The performers were all winners in the 67th Annual Stirling Festival of Sacred Praise, a competition that covers an area from the Bay of Quinte to Marmora and as far away

as Buckhorn. Nearly 50 awards were handed out to the winners, who competed in divisions ranging from ages 6 and under right up to adults.

Several of the performers came from Stirling, including the Stirling Public School Orff Ensemble (grades 4 and 5), Payton Denyes, Karen and John Brogee, Jessica and Madison Hamilton and Mary Dubé and Michael Faulkner.

Handbags For Hospice event in Stirling reaches $15,000 goal

BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling – With the first-ever Handbags For Hospice event a sold-out success, organizers already are planning for next year’s fundraiser.

Held at Oak Hills Golf Club in Stirling on Thursday, May 11, it is expected to surpass its goal of $15,000 once all the donations are totalled, said community coordinator Carrie Salsbury.

“The event was a Ladies Night out, Glam Up fundraiser and charity auction to support the work of The Heart of Hastings Hospice,” Salsbury said. “The goal for the evening was to increase awareness of the work that we do supporting persons and their families with a life limiting illness, recruit new volunteers and find new donors to support our work.

“This is the largest fundraising event ever undertaken by The Heart of Hastings Hos-

pice, and we were overwhelmed by the response of sponsors who came forward to support the event such as Caressant Care Retirement and Nursing Homes Limited, who were our Diamond Sponsor.”

The 163 available tickets were sold out a week before the event, which included food fun and the many very fashionable handbags that were auctioned off.

“Layne the Auctionista is an philanthro-entertainer who inspired giving in the room with her energy, enthusiasm and humour,” Salsbury said. “We were especially grateful to the Central Hastings OPP Detachment, the Stirling-Rawdon Police Service, the Belleville Police Service and the volunteer firefighters from Stirling-Rawdon, Tweed and Belleville who waited on the ladies, serving beverages and hors d’oeuvres.”

She said Canadian Tire in Belleville donated two wine fridges filled with wine in recognition

of one of their employees who is currently facing a life-limiting illness.

The Heart of Hastings Hospice provides both residential hospice and hospice services over a broad geographical area, including Belleville, Madoc, Stirling, Tweed and Marmora.

“The Heart of Hastings Hospice has been providing home visiting services for over 25

years, and our residential hospice has been in operation since 2011,” Salsbury said.

For more information about the hospice, which is located in Madoc, or in hospice care, visit The Heart of Hastings Hospice website at http://www.heartofhastingshospice.ca or phone 613-473-1880.

Disgusted by the disgusted Blooms day celebration in Hastings response to hunter story

BY BILL FREEMAN

Re: Disgusted Reader Nancy Macdonald.

I was disgusted by this retort about the young hunter.

Obviously this reader is not a hunter and totally against hunting/ hunters.

This is a huge problem today when too many believe that their opinion is the only opinion that is right.

I am not a hunter and do not own any guns but if I had to hunt to eat or defend myself, I would not have any problem doing so.

Hunting is something that humans have done for millions of years and despite Nancy Macdonald’s opinion, it is accepted as a

hobby.

I eat meat and know that animals are being killed so that I and other meat eaters can eat.

Nancy Macdonald has her right to her opinion for her life but does not have the right to force this opinion on anyone else.

That is part of our society where we show respect for the opinions and lifestyles of others if we expect respect for our own.

The insults and degrading remarks made about this young man and his hobby amount to nothing more than verbal bullying.

Gordon Vader, Campbellford

Hastings — Blooms day in Hastings was a Canada 150 triumph.

The official welcoming of 1,000 blooming red and white tulips drew a patriotically dressed crowd to the Hastings Civic Centre where the flower gardens exuded eye-catching colour.

The Canada 150 party was the followup to a planting that took place in October after the Hastings Revitalization became one of privileged organizations to receive 1,000 tulip bulbs from Vesey’s Bulbs as part of a Canada 150 program that was also supported by Canada Post, the Canadian Nursery Landscaping Association and Parks Canada.

There were 400 applicants and Hastings was one of the 150 chosen from across Canada; the Hub of the Trent was the only community in Northumberland to be part of the program. Bulbs were also planted at the two Hastings “gateways” and Hastings Public School.

“It’s so nice to see them coming out and people en-

joying them,” said Elke VanMeer who spearheaded the HRA’s application. “The whole idea was to bring the community together and I think it’s done that.”

The tulips bloomed right on time, VanMeer noted.

“If you had to guess a date you couldn’t have done a better job. I was glad of all the rain and cold. It kept them from blooming too soon," she said.

“Once they’re done blooming we’re going to move them around the village so for years we’ll still have red and white tulips all over the place; wherever we can find a garden that we’re allowed to plant.”

Northumberland-Peterborough South MP Kim Rudd joined Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan and Deputy-Mayor Bob Crate at the celebration.

“It’s so exciting to be all around the riding celebrating Canada 150,” said Rudd.

“Wonderful projects like this bring communities together. It’s something to be truly proud of,” added Macmillan.

And Mother Nature was in on the act too. It didn’t start raining until the last photo was snapped.

The Spratt family raises $7,112 for of Heart of Hastings Hospice

BY LYNN MARRIOTT

and sister Susan Coole helped with ticket sales and wherever they were needed while on the patio, Uncle John Mullin and wife Linda ran the pig roast selling 80 “pork on a bun” meals.

They did not do this on their own – many people gave their time, money and energy to the fundraiser.

“The staff held a competition to see who could raise the most and raised $2700 through donations and raffles,” said Peter. Scott Pettigrew led local musicians in a jam during the pig roast. Nellie Clement and Francis Prevost ran a bake sale.

Sheila Toner, a volunteer for 19 years and Doris Bush, for

26 years, represented Heart of Hastings Hospice. Beginning Friday night and into Saturday, they helped sell baked goods, raffle and half and half tickets.

Saturday night 70 people stayed to listen to The Decades Band. On Sunday, Gary Cassibo played inside the bar while additional draws and prizes raised more money.

Jessi Monkman paid $360 for skydiving for two, donated by the Niagara Sky Dive Center. Shane Maia donated a bar stool that raised over $400.

Tweed – For the second year, the Spratt family held a fundraiser for Hospice at the Tweedsmuir Tavern. “We more than doubled the amount we raised last year,” said Peter Spratt, Tweedsmuir owner.

The Spratt family came together for Mother’s Day weekend for the second year to raise funds for the Heart of Hastings, a Madoc organization that “was wonderful” to the family, when Sharon Spratt, Peter’s mother, was ill. Year one the fundraiser donated $3,000 to the Hospice and this year they raised and donated $7,112.

It was a family affair. Brothers David and Charles Spratt

Chief paramedic addresses Stirling council

BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling — Providing proactive medical care in people's homes is one way to reduce the number of emergency calls, says Hastings-Quinte Paramedic Services Chief Doug Socha.

Speaking to Stirling-Rawdon Council on Monday, May 1, Socha said the emergency medical system is designed to be reactive, but changing the approach could help.

Socha said the service covers all of Hastings county and contracts to Prince Edward County, which has a large elderly population, resulting in more stress on emergency medical services. He said the majority of calls are for people between the ages of 61 and 90, with the greatest number in the 81 to 90 age group. In these groups, there are higher percentages of people with specific health problems such as obesity, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, high blood pressure and diabetes than in Canada overall.

“Right now, we're responding to a lot of emergency calls,” Socha said. But a proactive approach could help reduce the number of calls requiring an ambulance.

He explained that many ambulance calls could be prevented if paramedics visited clients before there is an actual emergency — for example, to check a diabetic's sugar levels in the morning so the person doesn't panic and call 9-1-1 for transport to hospital later in the day, or doing home risk assessment to lower the call volume by reducing falls in the home.

“We can identify high users of our system and see if we can actually keep them safer in their

homes for longer periods of time so that they wouldn't call on the paramedic service,” he said.

He said a study showed that this approach also frees up hospital beds.

“Community paramedicine is a cost-effective way of looking after patients, and it's a way to decrease overall system costs,” Socha said. He said this is done in combination with other care services.

Socha said that, even with call volumes increasing, response time standards are being met.

Paramedics are often injured lifting stretchers in and out of ambulances many times every day, but new technology is helping, he said.

“That's a lot of lifting — about five times, the stretcher gets lifted on any given call — so over the course of a year, you can see the amount of stress that places (on paramedics),” he said. So, with the approval of Hastings county council, the paramedic service is looking at buying power stretchers which are raised and lowered automatically using hydraulics.

“It's certainly going to make a significant improvement in the workload for paramedics, as well as decreasing the amount of stress that they are being placed under,” he said. “They're not cheap. They're about $45,000 apiece, so it's about a $720,000 addition to our budget this year to do that, so we're looking at amortizing that over our capital plan.”

He said other municipalities have found that the power stretchers reduced the number of injuries that keep paramedics off work, so it also is a staffing issue.

Miss Canada lilacs planted by Warkworth Brownies, Girl Guides for festival The Warkworth Brownies and Girl Guides planted lilacs at the Main Street entrance to the Millennium Lilac Trail, something that is becoming a tradition for the annual Warkworth Lilac Festival.

Submitted photo

BY SUE DICKENS

Warkworth – The excitement is growing as the 7th annual Warkworth Lilac Festival will soon be underway and to showcase the event the Warkworth Brownies and Girl Guides planted lilacs at the Main Street entrance to the Millennium Lilac Trail.

This year, Canada’s 150th, offered an appropriate theme for them to plant Miss Canada lilacs in the ground for the 30-day celebration of the lilac, which will offer many rare lilac varieties.

Janice Allen and Mary Henry co-chair the festival. “We have a most enthusiastic and industrious committee,” said Allen.

The festival’s opening weekend is May 27-28 and prior to the weekend there are two days, May 24-25, when a lilac bus tour brings visitors on Peter Brotherhood Tours from Toronto.

The first day of the first weekend will feature many activities from a photo show to many Main Street events including “Zoo to You” and “Music at the Mews.”

Kids events take centre stage on Main Street.

The zoo staff will show “all sorts of really great creepy creatures, from snakes to spiders. Each amazing animal is shown one at a time, allowing kids to take a good look and learn fascinating facts about each one.”

Also on Main Street there will be popcorn and lemonade and the opportunity to decorate a cupcake, join in face painting, explore the crafts table and sample a “Happy Birthday Canada” cookie.

“Kids are our future and we want to encourage them to get involved and see the difference they can make in supporting the village and the lilac festival,” states the festival committee on their website.

The Victorian Tea at the gazebo has been very popular in the past and will return. That evening “Jazz in the Lilac” room will happen at 8 p.m. in the Town Hall Centre for the Arts on Main Street.

A highlight of the festival is the performance of Canadian jazz musician John Alcorn who will accompanied by Reg Schwager on guitar and Steve Wallace on bass.

To hear his music go to: http://wordpress.johnalcorn. com/ Day two of the weekend, Sunday, begins with a lilac service at 10:20 a.m. at St. Paul’s United Church following by the Victorian Tea at the gazebo on the Millennium Lilac Trail.

The events wrap up with another showcase event, the lilac luncheon on June 4 from noon to 4 p.m. at the Villa Conti Oak Heights Winery which will feature a fundraising luncheon “Canadian Fashion-Simply Perfect” by Anne Marie Chagnon and renowned fashionista Jeanne Beker.

Varieties of lilacs at the festival are early, mid and late blooming and with more than eighty varieties on view folks are certain to see lilacs in bloom along the Millennium Lilac Trail during the “Thirty Days of Lilacs” event.

Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Fire & Emergency Services Have a safe and fun summer

Cottage Fire Safety – Tip Sheet To minimize the risk of fire and burn injury, the fire service recommends the following cottage fire safety tips: Install smoke alarms on every storey and outside all sleeping areas. It’s the law for all Ontario homes, cottages, cabins and seasonal homes to have working smoke alarms on every storey and outside all sleeping areas.

• Test smoke alarms at least monthly or each time you return to the cottage. Pack a new smoke alarm and extra smoke alarm batteries in case they need replacement.

• Install and ensure carbon monoxide alarms in your cottage if it has a fuel-burning appliance.

• Develop and practice a home fire escape plan to ensure everyone knows what to do if the smoke alarm sounds.

• Know the telephone number for the local fire department and your cottage’s emergency sign number, in case of emergency.

• Clean barbecues before using them. Keep an eye on lit barbecues and ensure all combustibles, as well as children and pets are kept well away from them. Fires can happen when barbecues are left unattended.

• Keep barbecue lighters and matches out of sight and reach of children.

• Remember to bring a flashlight with extra batteries.

• Check heating appliances and chimneys before using them.

• Check with your local fire department, to determine whether open air burning is permitted before having a campfire or burning brush. If open burning is allowed, fires should be built on bare soil or on exposed rock. Remove leaves and twigs from around the fire to keep it from spreading. Always keep a bucket of water, sand, or even a shovel close by and supervise the fire at all times.

• If you must smoke, do so outside. Keep a large can with water nearby so cigarette butts can be safely discarded. If you drink, do so responsibly.

Tobacco use and excessive alcohol consumption are contributing factors in many fires and can lead to serious injuries.

• Burn candles in sturdy candle holders that will not tip and are covered with a glass shade. When you go out, blow out!

NDHS tracksters have big day at Kawartha finals

Tournament raises more than $2,000 for Warkworth minor hockey JOHN CAMPBELL

BILL FREEMAN bfreeman@theemc.ca

jcampbell@metroland.com

Norwood — The Norwood District High Knights had a big day at the Kawartha track and field championships, and will send 15 athletes to the COSSA finals this week in Belleville.

The Knights scooped up three first-place ribbons on the field and added five second-place finishes, including two by Emma Beavis, and a pair of thirds to their impressive haul.

The team competed against 15 high schools from around the district at the Kawartha finals. The top eight qualified for COSSA with the top four receiving ribbons.

Earning Kawartha titles were Jacob Lloyd in the midget discus (35.09 meters), Austin Murray, midget javelin (39.49) and Hannah Scrimshaw, junior long jump (4.41 meters).

Finishing second were Emma Beavis in the senior girls discus and javelin, Logan Hall in the junior 110 meter hurdles, Silas Hubert in the midget javelin and Marisha Thompson in the midget 1,500 meters.

Third place ribbons went to Sophie Burnett in the midget shot put and Lloyd in the midget triple jump.

Fourth place finishes went to Dawson Baptie in the midget javelin, Hall in the junior triple jump, Silas Hubert in the midget discus, Scrimshaw in the junior 200 meters, Thompson in the open 1,500-meter steeplechase and Alexa Vanderhorst in the senior 400 meters.

Placing fifth were Charlotte Canzi, midget long jump; Hall, junior discus; Hayden Leeper, senior shot put and Murray, midget discus.

Warkworth — Twentyone teams. Five champions.

More than $2,000 raised.

That's the score sheet for the sixth annual 4-on-4 Spring Classic Ball Hockey Tournament hosted by the Percy Minor Hockey Association (PMHA) May 13.

Volunteer Jake Whalen said the tournament is a major fundraiser for the association that helps keep down the cost of hockey registration for parents.

Although it costs close to $700 to put each player on the ice, the PMHA charges far less per child— $300 for the initiation program, $350 for tyke, $400 for novice and $450 for atom and older.

“It's vital to have and support fundraisers to keep (PMHA) alive,” he said. If there weren't any, the cost of registration would go up and then no one could afford to play on a local team.

“Many people assume that hockey associations charge too much and should lower rates, but in reality the rates are less than 1/2 the actual cost to ice a child in many cases,” Whalen said in an email.

Another large fundraiser is the barbecue at the annual Warkworth Community Service Club Donnybrook

In sixth were Jacob Angermann, midget 3,000 meters; Amanda Jeffries, junior 80 meter hurdles and 300 meter hurdles; Lloyd, midget 100 meter hurdles; Scrimshaw, junior 100 meters; Shannon Scriver, senior discus; Thompson, midget 3,000 meters; the midget girls relay team of Thompson, Canzi, Burnett and Vanderhorst; and the junior girls relay team of Jaren Warford, Scrimshaw, Abby Partington and Jeffries.

In seventh place were Ashton Gee, senior 100 hurdles; Leeper, senior shot put and Warford, junior 300 meter hurdles.

Finishing in eighth were Angermann, midget 300 meter hurdles; Cassie Armstrong, senior javelin; Baptie, senior javelin; Burnett, midget discus; Canzi, midget triple jump; Nic Pedersen midget 100-meter hurdles; midget boys relay team of Baptie, Pedersen, Lloyd and Angermann; senior girls relay team of Scriver, Armstrong, Vanderhorst and Gee; senior boys relay team of Baptie, Leeper, Eric Sicker and Hall.

Parents start free all-abilities softball program in Campbellford SUE DICKENS suedickens.wordsmith@gmail.com

Campbellford — There’s a new softball team here and it’s called Motley Crew, a name that reflects the focus of the softball program which is to meet the needs of kids in the community “at all levels of abilities.”

The new program is free thanks to sponsors and it’s organized by Leslie and Scott Mahoney whose son Liam, age 12, has autism.

“Years ago, my son Liam became unable to continue progressing through the minor ball program. Because he has autism, he struggles to follow multi-step instructions and the chaos and noise of a kids’ sports team caused a lot of anxiety,” Leslie told the Trent Hills News. “His skill level was much lower than the other kids and despite his best efforts, he was unable to keep up. For several years now he has watched from the sidelines, wanting to participate, but knowing he's not able.”

So that is why Leslie and her husband “decided to start something to meet the needs of children like Liam.

Kids that want to play, want to be part of a team, want to be included and accepted just as they are.”

They welcome kids with anxiety, autism, mobility issues, cognitive impairment, Down syndrome, and more.

“We will create a place where they can improve and practise their endurance, learn new skills, have a chance to succeed and be part of a team.”

The softball program will be held every Sunday afternoon at the Campbellford Kinsmen’s Club ball diamond for a short skills practice and a game.

“Some of our players that require assistance on the field will be paired with a buddy, who will stand with them, relay instructions, help with mobility and cheer them on,” she added.

Several parents, youth and community members have volunteered to help in this capacity.

The couple says this program is receiving plenty of support and she wants thank their sponsors, who have donated funds to cover expenses, ensuring that each family can join this program for free. “The Campbellford Kinettes have paid for our field rental and insurance.

Poetry at the tavern brews year-one anthology LYNN MARRIOTT cdmorgan@kos.net

Tweed – A year ago, poetry in the local bar was but an idea. Now the local group who made it happen has 50 pages showcasing 24 poets and storytellers.

The first anniversary of the poetry and spoken word open-mic at the Tweedsmuir Tavern - held first Tuesday of each month - was celebrated May 2 and about 40 poets and fans arrived early to get their copy of the an-

niversary publication - First Tuesday Muse Anthology 2017. Excitement and animation accompanied their searching the pages for their words and names in print, some for the first time.

With beers on the tables and candles lit, MC Peter Snell took to the stage and wished everyone a happy anniversary. He congratulated the poets. He thanked Carol Snell the fiscal partner and Doug Anderson who faithfully operates the sound system

and created “a one and only” Lawren Harris-inspired podium. Bill Piton is “the driving force and backbone” of the poetry evenings and anthology, said Snell.

As fourteen wordsmiths took to the podium, two homemade cakes were divvied-up to the whisperings of “Let them eat cake.” Kingston documentary filmmaker, and an anthology poet, Judith Popiel, filmed the evening. Her

film “Ellen Merrin’s Kitchen” was part of the Kingston Canadian Film Festival. “Issues come forth when people write from their heart,” said Popiel.

“I’m drawn to Poetry Night at the local bar like a moth to light … It’s the power of poetry that has pulled this group together, that makes the roughhewn atmosphere of the Tweedsmuir Tavern a poetic paradise,” wrote re-

tired Centre Hastings Secondary School teacher Ardith Racey in a piece submitted to Facts & Arguments, a daily personal piece submitted by readers, in the Globe and Mail, July 2016.

Everyone is welcome to share the second year of poetry at the Tweedsmuir Tavern. https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=first%20 tuesday%20muse

Rabies clinic busy in Havelock BILL FREEMAN bfreeman@theemc.ca

Havelock – There were lots of cats and dogs visiting the Highway 7 Veterinary Hospital in Havelock Saturday, April 29, for the annual low-cost rabies clinic sponsored by Peterborough Public Health and local veterinarians.

Clinics were held in Havelock, Belmont Township and Norwood with rabies vaccinations available for $25 per animal.

The Highway 7 Veterinary Hospital prepared for at least 300 animals.

It was a good opportunity for pet owners to have their animals vaccinated at a time when public health officials note a significant increase in the number of confirmed cases of rabies in 2016 despite the fact that the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s rabies control program has dramatically decreased numbers in wildlife.

“Rabies is a big issue,” says Dr. Adrienne Thomson of the Highway 7 Animal Hospital.

Officials have seen rabies resurgence in some areas, says Thomson, wondering if the perplexing anti-vaccine movement is part of the reason.

In 2016, there were 288 confirmed cases of rabies in Ontario. In the first 11 months of 2015, there were just 13 confirmed cases. But in December, 2015, a sick raccoon in Hamilton

had a “significant altercation” with two dogs. The raccoon tested positive as did three additional animals.

It was the first case ever of raccoon variant rabies in southwestern Ontario; the last case in Ontario was in 2005.

Veterinary alerts were issued in the Hamilton-Niagara region in December, 2015.

“It’s a big issue, so it’s important to get (the vaccination),” says Thomson.

“Rabies is deadly if a human gets it.

Realistically, this event is to protect humans (as much) as it is to protect animals.”

“The big one I worry about is cats.

People think, ‘oh, it’s an indoor cat’ and they’re not worried about it or vaccines at all.”

Indoor cats can slip outside and bats, which can also carry a rabies strain, sneak into homes, she says.

Thomson says the low-cost clinics are helpful, but she still prefers to administer vaccines at her own clinic because she can give animals a thorough examination and determine how healthy or unhealthy an animal is.

“Vaccines only work for healthy animals. If their overall health is not good they’re not going to get the best immunity and (the vaccine) may not provide the best protection (but) it’s still going to provide some.”

Teachers go the extra mile for Relay for Life

BY MARTIN DURKIN

Students at École élémentaire publique Cité-Jeunesse in Trenton recently had a blast as two teachers agreed to have their heads shaved.

Grade one teacher Margaret Doyon-Nadeau, came up with an idea to have a Relay for Life at the French public schools on the military base in Trenton. A relay participant in Quebec, Nadeau wanted to continue the tradition here in Ontario.

“I used to walk it back in Que-

bec City, with my friend who had cancer when she was 22 and for my grandfather who is also a cancer survivor,” said Nadeau.

Students were quickly on board and an incentive was given to help raise funds. The total goal is to raise $15,000 for the May 26 relay at Marc Garneau park. Along the way teachers have agreed to participate in events such as head shaving, hair dying, and for the male teachers, leg waxing if certain goals are reached. At $10,000, Nadeau agreed to have

her head shaved in front of the school, with her students each getting a chance to slice some of her locks off. $12,600 was quickly reached.

Also at the head shaving event, another teacher agreed to take part in having her head meet the razor. Teacher Madame MariePier, was the first lady to go in front of the school, and it was her son that had the honours of removing the hair.

However, this moment inside the gymnasium wasn’t just for

the students to see their teachers fulfill their promise, for Pier and her son Nicolas, it was something much more special.

Now a grade four student, Nicolas is a cancer survivor. Diagnosed last year, he is currently in remission.

Nadeau was the second teacher up, and each student delighted in getting their chance in using the scissors on their now, favourite teacher.

“I’ve given my hair to cancer two times when it was long

enough, but this is the first time shaving, so I don’t know what I’ll look like, I’ve never seen my head!” Said Nadeau.

The May 26 event will be a bilingual and military event.

Participants will take to the field from 11 a.m. until 11 p.m. and everyone is welcome to come out and cheer the students on.

If you would like to help with the cause either financially or by participating in the 12-hour relay, call the school and ask for Nadeau.

These students from Pinecrest School, Bloomfield, were among the participants at Friday night’s school closure meeting at West Lake. Jack Evans/Metroland in his township, “there are 19 errors in the report positively identified.”

“Speed kills,” said one speaker. “Let’s slow down, maybe close a school or two every few years, not 600 all at once.”

One parent from Sophiasburgh Ward in Prince Edward related a detailed effort by parents to present optional uses for their school. They included a cooking school for the community but would require volunteers and they would all have to have police checks. “I am a police officer and I still need a check,” she said. One speaker spoke about a rural school near Kingston where in recent years the community partnered with the school to create a local library for general use.

“Our school is targeted to close. What happens to the books?” the woman asked.

One man described the whole exercise as a “farce,” suggesting that decisions are being forced from the top down. One trustee, Tom Mahoney from Centre Hastings, said he was given two large binders of background details and expected to make a decision at the next board meeting. Several parents insisted their demands for detailed information and suggestions were consistently ignored. One was told that to get the information they required would cost over $126,000.

Lack of information was one of the main concerns voiced

during the meeting. A number of students from Pinecrest School, Bloomfield, also targeted to close, attended, as did Todd Smith, the MPP for Hastings-Prince Edward.

Smith, a member of the Opposition Progressive Conservative Party, questioned the ministry’s motives for the sessions, affirming that every MPP in Ontario is well aware of concerns by municipal politicians, school administrations, teachers, parents and students and well prepared to advise them.

He said the closure program in his riding will involve hundreds of jobs in support services to start with.

Another consistent concern was the concept of using Kindergarten through Grade 12 schools, to make more efficient use of properties. Parents were concerned at safety and wisdom with no background knowledge of how they would work.

(The K-12 system has been used in Australia for many years, where residents report it effective and how all ages of siblings help look after and monitor each other.) The din in the crowded hall during plenary table sessions was like a classroom out of control at times, but most tables reported consensus on many issues. But it was not the kind of consensus the ministry wanted to hear. If there’s such a thing as the mythical Pandora’s box, the ministry appears to have opened it up.

MPP Smith slams Liberals after leaked hydro document surfaces

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – A leaked government document obtained by The Toronto Star suggests hydro rates are sure to rise even more in the coming years.

It’s more fodder for Prince-Edward Hastings Member of Provincial Parliament Todd Smith to shun the ruling Liberal government on, as Smith is the energy critic for the Opposition Progressive Conservative Party.

The document says rates will start rising 6.5 per cent a year in 2022 and top out at 10.5 per cent in 2028, when average monthly bills hit $215.

The plan also means the return of the Debt Retirement Charge – under a slightly different name, starting in 2025, according to Smith.

This upward trends of rates would also essentially negate the 25per cent hydro rate cut the Liberal government approved for this summer, upon hearing from Ontarians that hydro rates are too high and hampering the economy.

“When the government came out with their scheme, we knew that they weren’t fixing the underlying problems with the system and they were just creating a large debt and hiding MPP Todd Smith speaks at a recent meeting. Smith is the energy critic for the PCs. it at Ontario Power Generation,” File photo Smith said in a statement. “They’ll record levels.” company through monthly hydro Charge, was taken off bills at the use it to subsidize rates until we get Ontarians paid off debt accumu- bills for several years until the fee, start of 2016. through the next election, at which But Smith believes it’s making a point hydro rates start going back to lated by the former Ontario Hydro known as the Debt Retirement

comeback in 2026 and will be four times the size of the old charge by 2028, at more than $21 on every bill.

“The return of the Debt Retirement Charge tells you all you need to know about how the Liberals view peoples’ hydro bills.” Smith added. “They don’t think this is a problem for people’s pocketbooks, they think this is a problem for their re-election chances. A $21 Debt Retirement Charge is five times as big as the charge was the last time it was on your bill.”

The leaked papers overshadowed Energy Minister Glenn Thibeault’s efforts to tout the price break, which will be followed with four years of hydro rate increases at 2 per cent, roughly the rate of inflation.

Thibeault charged that the Conservatives used an “outdated” document to distract from the fact that they are the only major party without a plan for dealing with skyrocketing hydro rates, with a year to go until next June’s provincial election.

“It’s not a coincidence,” he told reporters, denying any plans for an eventual 10.5-per-cent rate hike and promising the government’s new long-term energy plan, due in a few months, will have better numbers.

“We are working hard right now to continue to pull costs out of the system.”

Another Dozen of Canada’s Great National Parks

Last summer, I wrote a piece in which I listed a dozen of Canada’s great national parks, and I mentioned that, in celebration of our 150th birthday celebrations in 2017, our national parks would be free. Well, that time has now arrived, so this might be the perfect summer to explore some of these. In my previous travel piece, I wrote about these national parks: Banff, Cape Breton Highlands, Fundy, Gros Morne, Jasper, Kluane, Point Pelee, Prince Albert, Prince Edward Island, Thousand Islands, Wapusk, and Wood Buffalo.

Well, just in case that dozen isn’t enough for you, here’s another dozen of our most interesting, worthwhile national parks: 1 Bruce Peninsula: This fascinating Ontario park is located

near Tobermory and along the Georgian Bay coastline. It’s on a section of the Niagara Escarpment that’s adorned with intriguing caves and cliffs. Visitors will want to check out its most popular attraction, the Grotto, for it’s a big cave that was carved out by the waves of Georgian Bay over thousands of years, and it’s possible to walk along an edge inside its cavity.

2 Forillon: Quebec’s first national park is located on the tip of the Gaspe Peninsula, and it offers almost vertical cliffs along its rugged shoreline. Seal colonies and a plethora of seabirds find shelter here. The peninsula’s most prominent feature is a lighthouse that rises high above the St. Lawrence, the Pointe-au-Pere National Historic Site, and it guides boats past the formidable

headland.

3 Georgian Bay Islands: Comprised of several islands and islets, this small park is part of an archipelago that stretches along the eastern shoreline of Georgian Bay. The park is only accessible by water, so a kayak or a canoe would give you the ability to explore many of the inlets and bays at your leisure. However, the park’s own passenger vessel, the Day Tripper, is available, as well as water taxis operated by local marinas, and there are boat tours that will allow you to view even more of the area’s 30,000 islands.

4 Glacier: Many snow-capped mountain peaks and a bevy of avalanche slopes can be seen from the portion of the Trans Canada Highway that bisects this park. For me, several years

some of the smaller ones.

6 Nahanni: This is yet another National Park Reserve, and this one is located in the southwest corner of the Northwest Territories. The centerpiece of this park is the Nahanni River, with its awesome canyons and treacherous rapids. The South Nahanni River itself twists through the park for 320 km., past three immense canyons, boiling hot springs, icy caves, and soaring mountains. If this isn’t enough, there’s also Virginia Falls – but if you’re paddling, don’t miss the portage, for this spectacular falls plummets almost twice as far down as Niagara Falls!

7 Pacific Rim: This is yet another National Park Reserve, and it’s made up of three separate regions (Long Beach, the Broken Group Islands, and the West Coast Trail). It’s renowned for its lush rainforests and rugged coastline, and it’s located along the southwest corner of Vancouver Island. I spent my time in the most accessible and popular region of this park reserve, Long Beach. It’s the coastal area located between the villages of Ucluelet and Tofino, and it has the most extensive sand dune/beach area found on all of Vancouver Island.

8 Quttinirpaaq: This park, the name of which translates as “the top of the world”, is our northernmost, located in Nunavut, on the northeastern corner of Ellesmere Island. It’s also our second largest (after Wood Buffalo National Park), and it offers a rugged wilderness and isolation. You’ll probably have a lot of wide open space to yourself, so travel prepared. It’s even a requirement that all visitors must register and attend a mandatory orientation session with park staff prior to entering this remote park.

ago, the highlight was cycling through the park’s awesome Rogers Pass. Looking back now, it’s hard to believe that I was able to pedal through this very challenging park, stopping at the Rogers Pass National Historic Site at the summit. I had begun that morning in Revelstoke and cycled through the park, including several snow tunnels, and on to Golden in one day. What an accomplishment!

5 Gulf Islands: This is one of Canada’s Park Reserves in the system of national parks and park reserves, and it’s located between Vancouver Island and the mainland of British Columbia. The larger islands, including Mayne, Saturna, North Pender, and South Pender, are accessible by ferry, but you’ll need your own kayak or canoe to reach

“JONAH” May 23-25

Manitoba Escarpment, stands in sharp contrast to the surrounding prairie farmland. Route #10 cuts through this park, and there are over 400 km. of trails available for hikers, horse riders, and mountain bikers.

10 Torngat Mountains: This is our newest national park and Labrador’s first. It’s yet another remote park, so registration with park officials is mandatory. It’s a land of mountains, glaciers, caribou, and polar bears, and there are no roads or campgrounds. In fact, Parks Canada recommends that a visitor engage the services of a trained Inuit polar bear guard when hiking in this park.

11 Waterton Lakes: It’s located in southwest Alberta, next to Montana’s Glacier National Park, so the two destinations are often visited together. I can remember being greeted by a snow storm on my visit to this area one July! However, it can also be very warm here in the summer. It just depends. I’d recommend a drive on its Red Rock Parkway, especially during peak wildflower season. At the end of the road, a short hike will take you through a pine forest to Blakiston Falls – or a longer trail will lead you to Goat Lake (where mountain goats are often visible).

12 Yoho: This park is located in southeastern British Columbia, in the Canadian Rockies.

Its name comes from the Cree word for “awe”, and that’s certainly appropriate when you see its majestic snow-capped mountains, glacial lakes, and glaciercarved valleys.

The Trans Canada Highway cuts through this park, and I used this route on my bicycle trip through the Rockies. My climb from Field through the Kicking Horse Pass was my toughest! Be sure to stop at the Spiral Tunnel Overlook. You might even get a glimpse of the Rocky Mountaineer from here!

The Good Earth Odds and Sods 4- Redux O&S#3A: Oh Canada, O Dan Why is this column tagged with a “redux” especially since it begins with pointing out an error on my part? Redux comes with a positive connotation. I had mentioned that my Canada 150 tulips “are opening white-not a hint of red.”

When I wrote that, it appeared to be so. The outer “petals”, sepals, were soft green and white and very tightly closed: not a hint of red. Blake Herrington, from

of the growers/breeders in Holland to have developed the Canada 150 tulips so quickly and, coincidently, just in time to sell millions more of these beautiful flowers to Canada. A titch cynical, after the fact, but easily shown to be just not so. The Good Earth Column, Vol 10 No 37, “Celebrate Canada with Tulips, was published in September of last year. That particular topic was covered off with a discussion of how a serendipitous rebranding from Happy Generation to Canada 150 enhanced Canadian gardeners opportunities to display their horticultural patriotism- as well as enhancing the grower’s bottom line. Sigh! I was almost right. If we just look at the flower, then I’m close enough to right to invoke Spock’s maxim: a difference that makes no difference is no difference. Unfortunately, close enough isn’t close enough. (The accompanying photo, from our own garden is not a Canada 150 tulip, it is a Canada Celebration tulip.)

There are/were two different tulips, with very, very similar flowers, being marketed in conjunction with Canada’s sesquicentennial celebrations. The first is the Carnaval de Rio. This is the one officially renamed and

made the mistake of stopping when I mis-read the promo from one of the Dutch promoters. I wrote my article and moved on.

I revisited the topic after reading several current articles where opinions are expressed but little corroborative research had been done. It is clear that not all of the tulips are as advertised and I wanted to work this out. I was very busy trekking through the KAVB tulip registrations when I came across an article written by Robert Pavlis, also published last year.

I firmly believe that while one might justify spending time improving the wheel, it is a waste of time re-inventing it. IN that spirit, after reading Mr. Pavlis’ research results, I stopped looking.

And this time, I am very confident that all has been explained.

Climate change endangers health, says QHC’s Dr. Z.

BY JACK EVANS

Belleville – Apart from any other considerations, climate change is a definite threat to human health, says Dr. Dick Zoutman, chief of medical staff for Quinte Health Care.

At a recent luncheon for Belleville General Hospital Foundation, Zoutman said there are no longer any solid arguments against climate change and many impacts are already being felt, including human health hazards.

These, he said, will continue to increase as climate change progresses. Today’s generation will probably not notice much, but “our children and grandchildren will certainly be impacted,” he said. The “incredible” gains made by science for health protection

over the past 50 years are already being eroded and this will increase in direct proportion to warming climate.

Because of warmer temperatures, more of North America will be home to mosquitos carrying such deadly diseases as malaria, zika and dengue.

For the latter, dengue-carrying mosquitos have already been identified just across the Great Lakes in New York and other states. Poor people and poor nations will be the first to suffer and suffer the most, he said. But the change will create a snowball effect of human perils - safe and adequate drinking water will be affected; extreme weather conditions, cold, hot, drought and flood will get worse; loss of shoreline lands and food

resources will lead to mass migrations and probably human conflicts.

Canadians have been told for years that we have a great track record for low carbon emissions and clean air policies. In fact, he countered, “on a per capita basis, we are second to the United States and above Australia and New Zealand.”

Heavy loss of polar ice caps, already experienced, will lead to still higher levels of sea water and more warming of the oceans, which will naturally expand as heated. Loss of fish for food will be experienced as will loss of many wildlife species, birds and mammals, like polar bears. Higher temperatures will make it extremely difficult, probably impossible,

for heavy outdoor labour for needed projects. Frostbite, heat stroke, heart and lung diseases and problems will increase.

Even if disease-carrying mosquitos might not be right in Canada, they will be where many Canadians tend to go for holidays, exposing them to the disease, he added.

He urged the generous audience to get involved in a personal way, using energy conservation, alternative en-

ergy sources, like solar panels, more walking or bicycling and eating less meat. “It is better that people get that grain nutrition directly rather than feeding it to animals,” he contended. He challenged the audience as individuals to adopt three meatless days a week, suggesting Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.

“Who’s in?” he asked, to an obviously underwhelming response.

Finally, both he and Drew

Brown, CEO of the hospital foundation, plugged for continued support and generosity.

“No matter how much good news for hospitals was in the last provincial budget, the truth is, the province will not pay for equipment,” they agreed, arguing that the latest and best technology often leads to saved lives.

Hastings County’s new community and human services director has busy first meeting

BY JACK EVANS

Belleville – Introduced as Hastings County’s new director of Community and Human Services for her first meeting of the Social Services committee last week was Erin Rivers.

She has been an employee of the county for many years and filled in during the absence of former director Steve Gatward for some weeks a few years ago.

Rivers told the meeting she was “delighted” with her promotion and pledged to continue to follow the county’s policies of helping all of its residents. She added that she hopes to provide more pertinent details of activities of her department in the months ahead.

That promise was quickly called in by Belleville council representative Paul Carr, who asked for more specific details on a report of employment placements which was before committee members, to which River promptly pledged to provide in future.

Carr was asking for details about education status and training needs for employers and opportunities for workers.

The report showed a significant decline in the welfare caseload for April, from around 3,200 to around 2,900. It also specified employment connections the department pro-

Rivers’ appointment as Gatward’s successor was actually announced at the last county council meeting in April.

Hastings County eager for new provincially funded social programs

BY JACK EVANS

Hastings County’s Community and Social Services committee last week was quick to support an application under the new provinciallyfunded Ontario Early Years Child and Family Centres program.

New department director Erin Rivers called it “exciting “ after hearing a presentation from staffer Sheleena Forfar outlining the new program.

She explained that services for children have been operating under four different provincial programs.

Only two of those have been available in Hastings County and neither one is available throughout the entire county. The new program combines all four into one 100-per cent provincially-funded program for which the application deadline has now been extended until the end of September.

Already, Forfar reported, she and her group have done extensive consultation on the needs and data required to submit an application. The new program is targeted to kick in on Jan. 1, 2018.

The funding, she said, will come through the Ministry of Education.

The goal, she explained is to “ensure that children and their parents and caregivers have access to the same suite of high-quality, core services

regardless of where they live in Hastings County.”

The proposal passed unanimously, although it drew a comment from Centre Hastings Mayor Tom Deline about how the ministry can find funds for such a new program when it has to close so many schools to the detriment of many communities.

Another program which remains to be costed, will have some budget impact, but still drew solid support to be recommended to county council.

The program is called Home for Good, and it provides subsidies for local governments to improve access to proper shelter for homeless people.

A video presentation included statements from various officials confirming the need for such, including Belleville Fire Chief Mark MacDonald , Police Chief Ron Gignac and county CAO Jim Pine, who referred to the county’s tradition of working on behalf of all of its resident and argued it was a great opportunity to solve a serious problem affecting all areas of the county. “Let’s get it done,” he said in the video.

Committee Chair, Belleville Coun.

Garnet Thompson, urged support for the project, stressing that it is an “important initiative. We don’t want homeless people on our streets,” he said.

Campbellford sports community goes to bat for kids after theft of minor softball equipment

BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford – Within hours of posting on their Facebook page that their equipment had been stolen, members of the community immediately went to bat for the Campbellford Minor Softball Association (CMSA).

Learning of the break-in and theft of team equipment the day before the season was set to start on May 15, Amy-Jo Doherty, president of the CMSA said, “this was not how I wanted to spend Mother’s Day evening.”

Putting it out there on social media she posted, “this past week in the midst of setting teams up and getting everyone on the field you as members of our sports organization have been robbed. Our equipment shed was broken into, vandalized and equipment taken. The equipment stolen was to be used by our teams and

players as they took to the field this week. Their first practice was Sunday night and the first game tonight (May 15).”

She thinks there were four bags of equipment in their lockup packed with everything from several bats to helmets, shin pads and more. Some of the teams already have their equipment, “so we’re not without anything.”

Whoever stole the equipment left the bags and each had a tag on them with the name of the team. “They left the tags behind too.”

Doherty said the response from the community was immediate.

“When I got back to work this morning the Trent Hills Soccer Club was here waiting with $1,000. They had received a grant from JumpStart,” she said.

and Treasurer Janice Mirabelli handed her the cheque on Monday.

“Our local Canadian Tire has offered to help us replace things at cost,” said Doherty, whose energy and optimism soon became evident.

“I’m trying to look at this in a positive way.

In the realm of things there’s a really good story happening here. People in this town have each other’s back,” she noted.

“We are asking for you to be on the lookout for any bats, helmets, chest protectors, shin pads and catcher helmets. If you find any of these please contact Amy-Jo Doherty. No questions will be asked,” she stated on the association’s

facebook page.

“We ask for your patience as we scramble to replace as much as we can. We would also like patrons to know that we will be monitoring the equipment shed and cameras will be in place,” she wrote.

“This act of stealing is truly heartbreaking as the ones it is affecting are our players, the youth of our community. We ask for your assistance in locating the missing equipment. Several volunteers gave up their evenings in order to ensure that players had the right equipment to play with.”

Hastings County to donate old ambulances to Loyalist College Hastings County’s regional services committee has recommended to county council that it make a gift to the Emergency Paramedic program at Loyalist College.

The gift will comprise of one old ambulance with no transmission used for parts to make an interior box for study purposes, plus a second retired ambulance past its service days for full-vehicle education.

The value of the package is $8,000, and supplements a similar gift to the college’s original course at its Bancroft campus.

The course was so successful last year it is being expanded to the main campus at Belleville.

Emergency Medical Services Chief

Doug Socha said the course has special value both for the community and for the EMS for recruits and strongly endorsed the college’s request, which was in turn adopted by the committee as a recommendation to council at a recent meeting.

Also recommended to council was an agreement with Algonquin College to help train placement students in emergency services.

Noting that the service has reduced response times throughout its two-county territory despite a sharp increase in call numbers drew a hearty compliment from Centre Hastings Mayor Tom Deline, who has been critical of response times, specifically for his community, on several occasions.

Nelson, James Neil “Jim” Suddenly passed away at home on Wednesday, May 10, 2017 at the age of 65 years. Beloved husband to Andrea (nee Elliott) for 37 years. Jim was the loving father to James Nelson (Charlotte), Jennifer Nelson (Alex), and Robert Nelson (Amelia).

Proud Papa to Sarah, Haimish and Elliott. Survived by his brother Boyd & predeceased by sister in law Shirley. Dear son in law to Mary Elliott and brother in law to Fiona Ballantyne, Mairi Beaven (Phil), and the late Sheena McCarten. Jim will be remembered by his many nieces, nephews, cousins, and his loyal companion Paisley. Jim treasured many shared times with his family and enjoyed every moment. He was very passionate in his commitment to helping, lending his auction practices to assist in fundraising initiatives and was very proud of his agriculture background and the wonderful support he had at any given time. His memory lives on in all who knew him and his legacy continues in future generations to come.

What is immunotherapy?

Our immune system has the ability to find and destroy cancer cells. But cancer cells can sometimes hide from the immune system and avoid being destroyed. Cancer cells may also stop the immune system from working properly. Immunotherapy helps to strengthen or restore the immune system’s ability to fight cancer.

How immunotherapy works The immune system defends and protects our bodies from infection and disease. It’s made up of organs, special cells and substances that work together to find and fight germs such as viruses or bacteria or abnormal or unhealthy cells that cause disease such as cancer.

Germs and cancer cells have molecules on their surface that trigger the immune system to find and destroy them. But some cancer cells can hide from the immune system because they look a lot like normal cells. In some cases, the immune system may find cancer cells, but it isn’t strong enough to destroy all of them. And some cancer cells can even change how the immune system responds so it doesn’t work properly.

The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) funds a number of researchers who study immunotherapy. For example:

Dr Réjean Lapointe from the Centre de recherche du CHUM in Quebec is developing a gel to improve immunotherapy. Dr Lapointe and his team developed a gel to target and release cancer-fighting immune cells at just Immunotherapy boosts the immune system or the right spot. Further developments could helps the immune system to find cancer and attack greatly benefit people with cancer. it. Immunotherapy is used to: Dr John Bell from the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute is studying how cancer-killing viruses • stop or slow the growth of cancer • stop cancer from spreading to other parts of the attack tumour blood vessels. With his team, Dr Bell showed that a tumour’s overproduction of body • help the immune system work better to destroy a certain protein can allow oncolytic viruses to infect and destroy the tumour’s blood cells. The cancer cells • deliver toxins,such as radiation or chemotherapy, levels of this protein may help predict which patients will respond better to therapy with directly to cancer cells oncolytic viruses.
