Campbellford – “It’s more of a celebration . . . we want to showcase what we’ve done and where we are at . . . almost like a grand reopening,” said Michael Gestetner, who has renovated and restored Hillside Haven Retirement Residence.

The celebration was held Sun., May 21 with an official ribbon cutting with dignitaries on hand for the event and tours were offered throughout the day for anyone wanting to view the residence.

Gestetner purchased the 160-year old building located at 54 Ranney Street South three years ago and has been making improvements ever since.

The retirement residence is home to 10 residents, with seven rooms available.

“The renovations have been going on since I bought the place and I have been chipping away at it as an operating business and so it’s not fair to disturb the everyday routine of people here so we have been going at it piece by piece,” he told the Trent Hills News.

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:

“The paramedics are pretty positive, excited about advancing Marmora – Drones and smart glasses will change the way data right now.

“I don’t know of any other service in Canada looking at doing the profession but hesitant on what does this mean for them. “ paramedics help patients in Northumberland and Quinte West and hopes to experiment with the technology here, hinging on approval of an application for funding.

The revelation was made in the final moments of a presentation by Doug Socha, chief paramedic of HastingsQuinte Paramedic Services and director of emergency services Hastings County.

He was wrapping up his annual report to Marmora and Lake council at a recent regular meeting and concluded with information about a pilot project he is hoping to implement here.

“We have a pair of glasses now (cost about $1,000) we’ve ordered to do initial testing with connectivity,” Socha told the Centre Hastings/Trent Hills News later. This comes at a time when the renovation of the emergency operations centre is complete. “This room is now fully equipped with digital technology, backup power and staff were trained in the incident management system,” he explained.

Socha returned as chief paramedic for Hastings County after working for the last three years on a special assignment with Defence Research and Development Canada, an organization that helps align science and technology With the purchase of this grouping research initiatives.

“It will be a series of experiments if funded as we look at how could we use smart glasses as a wearable technology as a way to provide better patient care,” said Socha.

“The nice thing about moving to a smart glass type of technology is it frees up the paramedics’ hands.” He added, “One of the advantages of where this technology can go is smart glasses can link in to a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) or drone.”

The experiments will include “making sure we can work off a wifi system and connect with current tablets.” As well technical access to patient care records would have to be done in a locked down environment from a privacy point of view. The experiment will include working with

Madoc’s own Dillon Carman a judge at the 'Big Brother Canada 5' finale

BY SUE DICKENS

Madoc — Confetti rained down on the winner of Big Brother Canada 5 last night at the season finale and Madoc’s own Dillon Carman was right there on stage, as one of nine judges who knew what it has been like to be a part of this reality TV game show.

He joined the household last March and has been wrapped up in the drama and evictions for weeks, almost making it to the winner’s seat, but he was forced to leave suddenly last week when the ultimate winner of the show, head of household Kevin Martin, from Calgary, changed up his game plan.

Martin’s strategy was to use his veto to take Ika Wong off the block, replacing her with Carman to be certain that Demetres Giannitsos would leave.

However, Karen Singbeil and Ika voted unanimously to oust Carman out of the house out of spite.

Singbeil of Victoria was the runnerup as the two finalists grappled with who would win while on stage last night. At one point in the show, Singbeil was Carman’s ally, but she had a

strategy of her own and went after Speaking with Central Hastings Martin.

News today, in a telephone call from For Carman, it was an experience he the Big Brother Canada house Odyssey will never forget or regret. in Toronto, the day after the big finale,

this Canadian heavyweight champion boxer said, “It was everything I expected and a lot more. I’m honoured to be a part of this the cast and produc-

tion. Everybody that has a hand in Big Brother Canada is truly amazing.”

When asked what he will remember the most about the show, Carman said, “There’s a few things. For one, my mom coming into the Odyssey with my dog was the most beautiful experience I had there. And another is the relationship I built with Emily was beautiful.”

Emily Hawkin, a 23-year-old singer/ songwriter, is from Toronto. Carman plans on maintaining friendships made during the series. “You build such a bond, such a strong bond inside this house. The mental stress, emotional stress, you get through it and can’t help but build strong relationships. Only people who have been in the house can understand it,” he told the Central Hastings News.And he hasn’t forgotten his hometown, either. “I want everyone in Madoc to know I love them so much. They are a huge part of the reason I did what I did inside the Big Brother Canada house and outside.

It is such a beautiful community,” he said. “I am super blessed to have been a part of Big Brother Canada.”

As Rice Lake rises so does the Trent River toward Hastings

BY BILL FREEMAN

Peterborough — As water levels rise on Rice Lake so will levels on the Trent River east toward Hastings.

According to Otonabee Conservation, Rice Lake rose 2.5 centimetres on May 10 and is expected to rise about the same amount over the next 24 hours. Water levels and flows on the Trent River to Hastings will continue to rise in accordance with levels on Rice Lake to the west.

The conservation authority

sees an end to rising waters and says “barring significant weather in coming days” the end of rising water “appears to be very near.”

But that predication comes with a caveat.

“Even if fair weather is the area’s good fortune for an extended period of time, the amount of water that will need to be evacuated from the region’s lakes and rivers is voluminous and therefore high water levels and fast flows along the Trent-Severn Waterway will remain with us for many more

days ahead.”

Starting Friday, May 12 the region will be under a cloud of a low-pressure storm system which will bring precipitation and cooler weather to the region, ORCA says.

Total amounts of rain before the system leaves are to be in the low range around five millimetres both in north and south of the Kawartha Lakes.

There will be a return to clear skies on May 13.

In the past 24 hours the Tri-

Lakes (Buckhorn, Chemong and Pigeon Lakes) rose 0.8 centimetres to 246.62 metres above sea level while Lower Buckhorn and Lovesick Lakes each went down one centimetre to 243.13 and 241.65 metres above sea level.

Stony and Clear Lakes went up 2.5 centimetres in the past 24 hours and Katchewanooka Lake increased 2.1 centimetres.

The conservation authority expects the Tri-Lakes to remain steady at current levels for the next 24 hours while Stony, Clear

and Katchewanooka Lakes will continue to increase in the one to two centimetre range.

During the past 24 hours the rate of rising water levels on the Otonabee River has slowed down.

For several days the rate measure below Lock 19 in Peterborough was rising four centimetres a day but in the past 24 hours levels on the river below Lock 19 rose only two centimetres.

Otonabee River levels are expected to rise between one and two centimetres on May 11.

Hillside Haven celebrates extensive renovations and safety upgrades continued from page 1

“A large chunk of the work is related to safety and fire safety,” he explained. The work was extensive and included such upgrades as 11 new fire doors with hold open devices. “We installed new fire windows and for some areas we built one whole new fire escape and redid two fire escapes and decks . . . new fire alarm panel, detection units and fire station contact panel, new emergency lighting system and more,” he added.

As well there are new barrier

free ramps and new high definition digital cable TV system throughout the building has been installed. The gardens have been renovated too.

“We started with the local fire department coming in and then hired a professional who did a life safety study on the building looking at how do we make it safe.” The result was a finished effort that was “above and beyond” what provincial fire regulations state is required.

A great deal of the work was also cosmetic featuring a restored

dining room features original flooring, mouldings, trim and casings- painted a sky blue to highlight the white intricate plaster and woodwork. The replacement of aging accessibility retrofits to match the Victorian theme. In the newer portion of the building, most bathroom fixtures were replaced with more modern and efficient ones. A brand new bathroom in a suite that previously didn’t have one is almost completed. Newly renovated upstairs hallway is now home to our very own art gallery. Featuring beauti-

ful original and reprinted works, some almost as old as the building.

The renovations have been a labour of love.

“I am not in this just for the money. Honestly, the retirement home is something I enjoy,” said Gestetner.

OPINION

Iran’s Election and the problem with Rouhani The six-week campaign is over, and 55 million Iranians will vote in the first round of the presidential election on Friday. Or rather, most of those 55 million people will vote, but many will not, because there is disillusionment Gwynne Dyer great with President Hassan Rouhani’s promises to improve the economy – and therefore also with the international treaty on curbing Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions that was supposed to bring back prosperity.

Donald Trump (who calls the treaty “one of the worst deals ever signed”) is not alone in seeing it as a failure. Although Rouhani’s main challenger in this election, hardline cleric Ebrahim Raisi, does not formally reject the deal, his whole campaign is focussed on the fact that the end of foreign economic sanctions did not bring Iranians the rapid economic relief that Rouhani had promised Iran has a big, middle-income economy with a large industralised sector, but largely because of those sanctions it has been in the doldrums for the past decade. Incomes have stagnated or fallen, youth unemployment is 26 percent, and many people have lost faith in Rouhani.

Forty-three per cent of Iranians “strongly approved” of the “Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action” (JCPOA), as the deal is called, when it was signed two years ago. Now only 21 per cent “strongly approve”. Yet nothing has actually changed with the deal. Rouhani’s problem is that nothing much has changed in the economy either.

The Western partners in the JCPOA, the so-called “Five plus One” (the United States, Russia, Britain, Germany, France and the European Union) have been slow to remove the sanctions, mainly because of foot-dragging in Washington – although the U.S. government was quick enough to grant a waiver when Boeing wanted to sign a $16.6 billion deal to sell 80 passenger aircraft to Iran Air last December.

The bigger problem for Iran is that major international banks have been reluctant to re-engage with Iran because they fear being caught out if the U.S. reneges on the deal and reimposes sanctions. So the Iranian economy continues to bump along the bottom, and a lot of people who voted for Rouhani last time say they will sit this election out.

Ebrahim Raisi is capitalizing on this disil-

lusionment by running a populist campaign promising “work and dignity”. He is thought to have the tacit backing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who is the final authority in Iran’s peculiar blend of democracy and theocracy.

Khamenei has not given his public backing to any candidate in this election (there are also two less well-known candidates running for the presidency). It is generally assumed, however, that he supports Raisi, who is best known as one of the four Islamic judges who ordered the execution of thousands of political prisoners in 1988.

As a result, Raisi is doing well with his target audiences, the poor, the devout and the ill-educated. If they turn out to vote in large numbers, while more urban, more sophisticated voters express their disappointment with Rouhani’s failure to work miracles by staying home, it is entirely possible that he will beat Rouhani and become the next president.

This would plunge the country’s relations with the West back into the deep freeze, but Raisi says he doesn’t care about that: Iran doesn’t need outside help, and his goal is to restore the values of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. But it certainly wouldn’t improve Iran’s prospects for prosperity, or the entire region’s prospects for peace.

Rouhani is trapped between two fires in this election. At home he faces a conservative backlash that condemns his opening to the West and (implicitly) his nuclear deal.

It’s not just Trump. Hillary Clinton, while giving the nuclear deal her tepid approval, was just as negative about Iran in general, and Barack Obama regularly recited the misleading mantra about Iran being the “leading state sponsor of terrorism”. As did his predecessors in the US presidency all the way back to Ronald Reagan.

Iran is no worse than many of America’s allies in the region (and better than some) in its treatment of its own citizens. It is no more prone to interfering in its neighbours than they are. Yet it is routinely treated by US administrations of both parties as a rogue state that poses a huge and unique threat to the peace of the Middle East. Why? Because it defied the United States and got away with it. The Iranian Revolution of 1979 overthrew Washington’s puppet ruler, the Shah of Iran, and just as in the case of Castro’s revolution in Cuba, the United States has never forgiven it for that crime. Whereas by now Iranians have more or less forgiven the US for the CIA-backed coup in 1953 that destroyed Iranian democracy and gave the Shah supreme power in the first place.

When the going gets tough, fewer penalties get called Comment by John Campbell Even those following the National Hockey League playoffs in a desultory fashion – a group that now includes legions of disappointed Leafs and Canadiens fans but certainly not the avid supporters of the Senators and their new farm team – will have noted with disgust the amount of stick work that has gone on.

It’s downright nasty at times.

From slashes to the hands and legs to crosschecks and high sticks to the head and torso.

No less repugnant are bodies being rammed into the boards from behind.

‘Twas ever thus in the NHL: The rough stuff escalates when the stakes get higher. But these playoffs have exacerbated a season-long trend of players applying body and lumber with malevolent intent or callous disregard to a degree not seen since the Broad Street Bullies – a dark period in league history.

To a casual observer unfamiliar with what euphemistically constitutes a “hockey play,” it would appear some players prefer to employ their sticks less as instruments in the production/prevention of goals than wield them as weapons for the administration of pain whenever the opportunity arises.

In fact, the term stick check has taken on a new meaning and no longer refers to a benign way of stripping another player of the puck.

Often it involves a sharp rap on the glove, which, in one notorious instance, resulted in a Senator being sidelined after having a finger tip slashed open on a play that’s become the distressing norm rather than the exception.

The offender, predictably, blamed the injury on the lack of protection where the hand was struck, not the act itself.

“If you get it in the right spot those plays happen,” and the harm done can be serious, Pittsburgh Penguin superstar Sydney Crosby admitted.

But those plays “have happened for a long time,” and it’s because of “cameras and things (that) you just see every one now,” he added.

“You used to be able to be discreet if you’re going after a guy’s hands.”

The need for discretion – as in doing something unnoticed as opposed to exercising good judgment – has become less so in today’s NHL.

A slash on the wrist is as likely to draw a tut-tut from officials as it is a slap on the wrist (a two-minute penalty, and not a five-minute major).

Those who commit obvious fouls too frequently go unpunished, particularly when the misdeeds occur in the playoffs, that strange time of the year when malefactors are granted a certain dispensation, presumably for the spectacle their unrestrained violence provides.

The excuse given for referees pocketing their whistles, in the third period, overtime and seven-game series, is that, beyond the profession’s endemic incompetence, it’s “to let the players play” and not have officials interrupt the flow by insisting that rules be obeyed.

In truth, the effect is to let only a certain number of players do their thing unimpeded, the ones bereft of talent, and not the rarer breed who show a spark of creativity and offensive mojo. They are the unfortunate ones who at all cost are reigned in, by hook (uncalled) or by crook.

Crosby himself became a victim of a brutal play in the series against the Washington Capitals when he was high-sticked and then cross-checked in rapid succession, leaving him concussed for the fifth time. He missed one game.

The league took the loss of its superstar in stride. It doesn’t expend much energy into protecting its players, even those who generate the most excitement. The reason for one of the sport’s most gifted athletes being injured produced no great consternation among the game’s stewards.

Big shots and cheap shots – they all have the same entertainment value as far as the NHL is concerned.

The players themselves are equally to blame for the sad state of affairs: the individuals who inflict harm, and the union for doing so little to ensure a safe working environment for its members.

Sadly, it seems the NHL will only cease turning a blind eye to the mayhem when that same mayhem results in a player being blinded.

Or getting his bell rung – on the ice, then at his funeral service.

Tweed’s best plant sale ever - raises over $3,800

BY LYNN MARRIOTT

Tweed - It was the most successful horticultural plant sale and raised the most money in Tweed since its inception in the 1980s. The proceeds go toward beautifying gardens throughout the municipality of Tweed.

As a cold breeze blew off Stoco Lake, on May 20, the Tweed Horticultural Society members arrived at 7 a.m. to spread out a multitude of plants at the Tweed Memorial Park.

“It is the effort and help of members that makes this a success,” said Tweed Horticultural Society past president, Joan Morton.

“A lot of effort goes into the event.

Plants come from members’ gardens

and members help dig up the gardens people find are too big or they can’t take care of anymore.” Morton alone brought four trailer loads of plants to the sale.

In 2016 the event raised $3,600 and this year, the sales that have been totaled, are over $3,800. “We are thrilled,” said president Liz Churcher.

The success of the Tweed sale has brought members from the Belleville and Stirling horticultural groups out to learn from Tweed’s success, she said.

The proceeds fund the planting and care of 13 flower beds in Tweed, said Churcher and “the gardens in Thomasburg, Actinolite and Marlbank,”

said Morton. This year the society and municipality will split the cost to “pave the garden paths at Moira Park gardens by Tim Horton’s.” Among others, members plan to renovate “the rose garden in Moira Park and the south bed at the Tweed Memorial Park,” said Churcher.

The municipality “supports the town and hamlet gardens at $1,000 a piece. But it costs more than that,” said Churcher. That makes the annual plant sale is a major fundraiser.

“The sale has been happening for years and years and it just keeps getting bigger and bigger. It is a lot of effort and thanks to everyone that makes this successful,” said Morton.

“It is amazing. From my perspective it Go to http://tweedhort.blogspot.ca/p/ is admirable what the volunteers bring garden-excursions-and-special-events. and that the community supports,” html said Churcher, a member for 11 years.

Six year old St Carthagh student cuts his hair for cancer, raises $700

BY LYNN MARRIOTT

Tweed – Skylar, a six year old, was determined to help others.

The student grew his red locks for a year and a half and donated them for a cancer patient wig. As his hair grew, Skylar raised $700 online for cancer research.

Skylar Latendre Cailes was in junior kindergarten at St. Carthagh Catholic School in Tweed, when he watched a boy on television donate his hair to the cancer society, said his grandmother Eleanor Cailes. Starting with a buzz cut, Skylar told his family he was going to grow his hair long enough to donate.

On May 18, after the school sang O’ Canada, and a month before turning seven years old, Skylar sat high on the school auditorium

stage. With the entire school watching, Wendy Ziprick, a hairdresser from the Salon in Belleville, carefully cut off three ponytails of straight red hair.

Skylar’s proud family members were there to support him: dad Jordon Cailes; mom, Leanne Latondre; grandparents Eleanor and Greg Cailes and Sheila and Len Latendre. “Skylar was interviewed on the morning radio show on Bellevile 91X,” said proud grandmother Eleanor Cailes.

Skylar phoned to ask, “Are you coming?” said great grandmother, Celia Bolyea, of Cloyne. She chuckled as she said he explained, “I’m a good looking lad.”

“I enjoy these community events because they educate and inspire others to get involved,” said Jessica Klein, a

fundraiser representing the Belleville chapter of the Canadian Cancer Society. Donations also support the Kingston Cancer Center – “the largest Canadian cancer trial group which directly impacts our community here.”

In May, St. Carthagh’s supported two young students who donated hair. Two weeks previous, Lucy Boyce had her hair cut off.

“Her hair was down to her bum,” said Sharon LaCroix, her mother. Lucy was inspired, she said, after her aunt, Joan McMillan, lost her battle with cancer this past February.

Staff said the students are learning how to give back to others through the haircutting ceremonies and the students’ annual particiption in the Terry Fox run when they raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society.

3 boating deaths prior to launch of Safe Boat Week

BY SUE DICKENS

Orillia — The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has already investigated three boating fatalities this spring, with the same contributing factors being reported as in previous years.

This is the backdrop to the OPP partnering with the Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) to launch Safe Boating Week, just as the Victoria Day holiday weekend arrives.

According to the press release, it’s the same contributing factors being reported in the boating deaths and passengers are being encouraged to question their safety.

Two of the three fatal incidents involved capsized canoes. During the third mishap, the vessel sank. Alcohol/drug consumption was involved in two of the incidents. Only one of the three who died was wearing a life-jacket or personal flotation device (PFD) at the time. One victim was a passenger.

These details are all too common in OPP-investigated boating incidents from year to year, states the police.

Last year (2016), 16 vessel operators and seven passengers were killed in 19 boating incidents on OPP-patrolled waterways. Nine of the incidents involved a capsized vessel. Six victims fell overboard. Alcohol consumption was a factor in six occurrences.

Few victims were found to be wearing a life-jacket — a statistic that has not changed from year to year. The exception was in 2015 when, for the first time in more than ten years, all 18 of the deceased were recovered without life jackets.

In 2016 there were 23 boating victims compared to 18 in 2015.

Nineteen of the 23 who were killed last year were not wearing PFDs. Boaters continue to let their guard down in nonmotorized vessels, despite the fact that a significant number of fatal incidents occur in canoes and kayaks every year.

Outdoor classroom day takes over NDPS

BY BILL FREEMAN

Norwood – Classroom walls were given over to the natural world of blue sky, birdsong and rustling wind at Norwood District Public School last week as the school embraced a global movement to get students and teachers outside.

The entire school participated in Outdoor Classroom Day, a phenomenon that began with a small group of schools in the United Kingdom in 2012 and has since reached over 50 countries and nearly 500,000 students.

“We hope that after today it will spark an interest in kids wanting to

be outside and wanting to learn more about nature. What are they noticing today that they might not notice on other days?” said senior kindergarten/ grade one teacher Heather Snowball.

Snowball brought the idea to NDPS staff after reading about the event online.

“I just opened it up to the school to see who was interested. Everyone was.”

The primary division teachers jumped on board and organized nine different stations which classes visited throughout the day.

“We’re just using nature and outdoor space to plan out our day. We’re

showing kids there’s more learning out in the real world and not just the classroom,” Snowball said.

They easily covered the entire curriculum from math and art to science, language and physical education.

There were scavenger hunts with patterns and colours, science experiments using water, string painting on blocks of wood, gardening and stories about beavers and natural habitats.

“We’re covering anything we would do in the classroom but having it outside in nature,” said Snowball.

“Hopefully we’ve sparked some imagination and made them aware that there are other things outside that

Warkworth girls learn about Canada, and guiding

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford student musicians have the golden touch Campbellford – Campbellford District High School is the district school board's Fort Knox – the place where gold is collected.

Doing the collecting as it has done for years is the school's music department which added two more gold awards to its trove May 18 with top-notch performances by its senior and junior jazz ensembles at MusicFest Canada The Nationals

they can be doing other than playing on their technology,” said kindergarten teacher Anne McMillan.

“This is absolutely fantastic.

They’ve worked so hard and learned so much today,” McMillan said.

“We’ve been able to see other kids doing fantastic things.”

McMillan hopes students realize that “no matter where they are outside they are learning.”

“They keep talking about when we can do it again,” added grade one-two teacher Jodie Holbrook. “It’s been a really fun experience.”

in Niagara Falls.

The 25-student junior group's accomplishment “was especially sweet considering they were late invites to the Nationals and a very novice group,” Judy Malfara, communications officer with the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board, said in a news release.

"They earned an invitation to Nationals and they completely transformed themselves into a re-

ally excellent band in the past two months," CDHS music director Dave Noble said. "Their improvement was one of the most dramatic I've experienced in 23 years of music teaching."

Accolades poured in for the junior and 24-student senior group from adjudicators, who were impressed by both ensembles' musicality. Adjudicators also praised vocalist Olivia Rapos and gave in-

dividual honour awards to Patrick Muldoon on keyboard and Rahul Patel on saxophone.

Musicfest Canada is the largest student music festival in the world.

Nearly 10,000 students converged on Niagara Falls for the Nationals after earning invitations at regional festivals held across the country involving 400,000 students.

Warkworth – Warkworth Guiding recently held a special get-to-know Canada event for 39 girls who engaged in a handful of round-robin activities.

Ten leaders and volunteers also took part in the two-and-a-half-hour event held at St. Paul's United Church.

Brownie leader Jessica Russell was the organizer, making use of a $150 grant she received from RBC’s Let’s Make Canada’s 150th Anniversary Count program.

“It's important for the girls to know about their country,” Russell said. “They should feel privileged to live here, that's why they should learn a bit about it.”

Among those participating were girls not yet in guiding who were there “to see if they like it” and would be interested in joining the unit when it resume its regular meetings in September, Russell said.

“I hope (they do) ... because there are great opportunities for young girls (in guiding),” said Russell, who has been involved in the Warkworth unit for 16 years, first as a Spark and for the last three as a leader.

Activities included creating a time capsule to be sealed and kept in the local library until 2022 when Canada celebrates its 155th anniversary. The girls were asked their favourite food and music, what they hoped to be when they grew up, and what they liked about guiding.

They also played pinned the tail on the beaver and pin the maple leaf on the Canadian flag.

Russell, 20, was one of 43 area Guiding leaders chosen to receive a 2017 Ontario Volunteer Service Award. The awards were handed out at a ceremony held in Belleville.

“I felt honoured, guiding has been a big part of my life,” Russell said.

Stirling Poker Run raises $7,000 for local Royal Canadian Legion

BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling—An ATV Poker Run held in Stirling on Saturday, April 29, raised $7,000 for the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 228 in Stirling. The cheque was presented on Wednesday, May 17.

“I can't remember ever having raised that much money at one time during my tenure at the Legion,” said branch president Judy Heasman.

Kevin (Artey) Johnston, one of several organizers, said this was the first such event, but won't be the last.

“We're going to do it again next year,” he said.

The Legion fundraiser attracted 250 people.

“It was a word-of-mouth kind of thing,” Johnston said.

The ride began at the Johnston

home in Gunter at 9 a.m., and riders met up again at the McCoy family camp on the Old Hastings Road for a lunch provided by women from the Legion. The lunch was delivered byRoss and Pat Anderson and was served by Shirley Johnston and Doris Rollins. After lunch, it was back on the ATVs for the second half of the trip, ending the 80-kilometre excursion at Kevin and June Johnston's home for a dinner courtesy of Doug and Josephine Robertson, Campbellford Tim Hortons, Dean and Donna Graff and Eric Strecker of Rose's Scale.

Entertainment was provided by Ray Jones, Dale Robertson, Greg Lott and Jeff Duffin, and many different people and businesses helped out with door prizes.

Stirling School's Annie Jr. delights audiences

BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling — Six months of hard work, dedication and determination paid off with a sterling production of the musical Annie Jr. by students at Stirling Public School May 2 to 4.

The school clearly has an abundance of talent to draw on while mounting such an ambitious show, and the resulting cast performed well above the usual public school level. The show included many of the big signature songs from the Broadway show about little girls in a 1930s-era New York City orphanage, but the production was changed just enough to give it a distinctive look, such as Annie having short auburn hair instead of the traditional red curls.

Grade 7 student Mieke Gortner handled the lead role of streetwise, wisecracking Annie with aplomb and the required feistiness, backed up by a talented group of 'orphans', including Grade 4 student Olivia Brough as Molly. Grade 8 student Laura Bradley made a properly unpleasant Miss Hannigan, with Jacob Dunlop (Grade 8) as Daddy Warbucks and Paiden Sprigings (Grade 6) as President Roosevelt.

Nate Meakins (Grade 6) was a scene-stealer as the disreputable Rooster.

The show, which included a cast and crew of about 50 students, was directed by teachers Meredith Cooney and Ashley Vandersel, while the set decoration was done by students in grades 6, 7 and 8.

“We've been working on this ed and hard-working.

Former Alberta MLA helps rural communities thrive ranch and knows rural towns well. He was invited by Mayor Rodney Cooney.

“It doesn't really matter what province or what community you're in,” Cooney said. “We all face the same challenges.”

Griffiths addressed some of those challenges by telling the audience how to destroy a community by falling into specific pitfalls, beginning with forgetting about water quality and availability. Without an adequate, safe water supply, there can be no residential, business, industrial or agricultural expansion, he said.

The Stirling Festival Theatre was almost completely filled for the event, held on Thursday, May 18, and his talk sparked enthusiasm amongst those who attended.

Discouraging young people by telling them there is no future on the farm or in a family business is a big issue, Griffiths said. Talking about how there is no hope in a community gives youth the wrong message, and they leave. Communities need to show young people the possibilities and opportunities in their home town.

“If you want to kill your community, ignore your youth or chase them out of town,” he said.

Communities also need to market their assets, and not sound like every other town.

Promoting a town as “a great place to raise a family” says nothing about what makes this town special, he stressed.

“If you want to kill your community, do what everyone else does,” he said. “You've got to find what makes you unique, and market that.”

Next, he said, people shopping outside their community will kill local businesses. Chambers of Commerce and shop owners keep telling people to shop locally, as if it is the responsibility of the customer to do that. But the opposite is true, he said. Business owners need to give buyers a reason to shop at their stores, whether it's by providing better service, better prices, better quality or some other reason.

Another way to discourage people from coming to or staying in a community is simple: don't paint.

“This is important,” Griffiths said. “We're attracted to esthetically pleasing things.”

He said the outside impression tells people whether that community believes in itself. If storefronts and other buildings are untidy and neglected, eventually the illusion of failure will become a reality.

Failure to cooperate is another big issue, not just for individuals, but for service clubs,

community groups and even neighbouring towns, because more can be accomplished when resources and manpower are shared, he said.

Another biggie? Living in the past and being afraid of change.

He said there are people who want their town to stay exactly the same, and who object to proposed solutions to problems but offer no alternatives. One example? Opposing affordable housing.

“I can name dozens of communities that priced themselves right out of existence,” Griffiths said.

That includes housing for seniors. If they can't find retirement housing, they will leave, taking with them their many volunteer contributions and their knowledge.

“When they leave, your community will crumble,” he said.

Ignoring outsiders is another guaranteed way to destroy a community, he said. Ask newcomers why they came to your particular town, and why they stay, and you will learn what they value in a town. Welcoming immigrants by including them in neighbourhood activities will go a long way towards helping them and the town thrive, he added.

Communities have to beware of complacency.

“The world is always changing, and if you don't respond to changes, your community will die,” he said.

Finally, he said, residents need to take responsibility for their town, and not expect the mayor, or council, or the province, or even the federal government to fix everything. That's not how communities were built.

“Ultimately, the success of your community is entirely up to you,” Griffiths said.

All of his ideas are discussed in more detail in his book, 13 Way To Kill Your Community.

It is “terrible to see this happening. Citizens should be ashamed of themselves,” said DeGenova. Needles, adult magazines and 250 scratch tickets were found on the side roads, he reported.

“I was told, they couldn’t believe some of the garbage that was out there,” said Albert. “There were 12 bags of garbage at the trial head.

We need to get the trails involved. We have to be respectful of our community,” said Albert.

On the upside, “there were more families and young kids trying to make a difference in this community,” said DeGenova.

One mother with a baby strapped to her chest and young child went out to collect. A group of young people came together to participate, he reported.

Tweed - “We appreciate the people who participate in the Tweed Trash Bash,” said Coun. Jim Flier, in his report at the regular Tweed Council meeting, Apr 25.

“They do a fantastic job,” agreed Deputy Mayor, Brian Treanor and Coun. Don DeGenova.

“But it’s pretty sad to go year after year and see the same mess that some slob threw out onto the road ...

Why do we continue to do this?” asked Flier. He said he found a full oil can thrown into the swamp, along with paint cans, toilets and tires.

“We’d just finished the road, and going by, there was already a jug thrown down,” he said.

“It took Parks and Recreation two full days to collect all the garbage,” said Public Works Supervisor Allan Broek, “and it’s still not all picked up.”

“It’s demoralizing to see.

It is the same thing down Stoco. Maybe there is a better way?” asked Treanor.

The volunteers “do a fantastic job, but the minute they are done someone is throwing garbage out again.”

Massive rally as Pedal for Hope team arrives in Campbellford

BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford — Students from three elementary schools converged in a massive rally for the 2017 Pedal for Hope campaign hosted in the gymnasium of Campbellford District High School on Wednesday, May 11, one of many held in the area to raise money for cancer research.

“The best part of what we do is we support kids in the community who are fighting cancer like these two here,” said Staff Sgt. Marc Habgood of the Peterborough Police, captain of the Pedal for Hope team.

He was talking about two students at St.

Mary Catholic Elementary School who are cancer survivors; Colin Kerr is in kindergarten and Jacob Grieve is in Grade 1. Both pupils attended the rally and shaved the head of Const. Jason Clarke of Peterborough OPP, a member of the Pedal for Hope team that began their three-week, 1,000-km cycling tour on Monday, May 1, delivering a message about kids living with cancer and supporting pediatric cancer research.

The team has been to many schools, including Hastings Public School, Norwood District High School, and Havelock-Belmont Public School, to name a few.

Buskers make a splash at Hastings trunk sale

Students from Kent, Hillcrest, and St. Mary’s schools gathered in the gym to watch and cheer on several of their classmates who had their heads shaved in support of the campaign.

“We’ve done this assembly in more than 500 schools in front of more than 200,000 students and we have raised more than $4 million right here for pediatric cancer research,” Staff Sgt. Marc Habgood told the students.

“So far across this county, we’ve raised $55 million in cops for cancer research.”

He talked about how the Canadian Can-

cer Society has donated a $1 million “impact grant” to Dr. Lillian Sung, a scientist with The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto who with her team is developing an app for iPads and tablets for children with cancer “so these little guys with cancer, when they wake up in the morning, they play a game that asks them how they are feeling so they can input their symptoms ... and the information will get transferred right to their doctor ... so that’s how we together are making a difference in the lives of kids with cancer.”

Campbellford — Taking a pre-emptive stand after media reports that Premier Kathleen Wynne’s government is considering workplace changes that could see the minimum wage increase to $15, the Trent Hills Chamber of Commerce joins their umbrella organization the Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC) to express opposition.

According to the chambers, the changes would discourage investment, eliminate jobs and diminish economic opportunities in Ontario, especially among small business owners.

In a press release sent to the Trent Hills News, Jeff Hamilton, chair of the local chamber stated, “During the small business consultation we hosted last year, remaining competitive was identified as a significant challenge for businesses in Trent Hills.”

The Ontario Chamber of Commerce sent a letter to Premier Wynne cautioning that these reforms may have unintended consequences impacting job creation and competitiveness, as well discouraging investment in the province.

The warning concerns potential changes to Ontario’s Labour Relations Act (LRA) and the Employment Standards Act (ESA).

Initial media reports indicate changes could include a possible in-

crease in minimum hourly wage to $15 and an increase in paid sick days.

“We are very concerned that the consequences of these changes will affect the health of our local economy and that not enough work has been done to measure the economic impact,” added Hamilton.

According to the provincial chamber and supported by the Trent Hills chamber, the potential reforms are coming at a time when costs for consumers and the cost of doing business is high and putting Ontario at a competitive disadvantage.

Ontario has experienced slower growth in GDP and job creation than in the past, and drastic reforms to labour and employment run the risk of causing serious damage to the future prosperity of the province.

“These sweeping changes will tip our economic balance in a profoundly negative way,” said Richard Koroscil, interim-president and CEO, Ontario Chamber of Commerce, in the letter.

“The implementation of some of the policy options being considered would have the perverse effect of discouraging investment and eliminating jobs, thereby diminishing economic opportunities in Ontario. Politics cannot drive decision-making, evidence must.”

Jeff Hamilton, chair of the Trent Hills Chamber of Commerce said his organization is joining the provincial chamber in its objections to province’s potential labour reforms, which could include raising the minimum wage.

Peterborough — The Kawartha Pine Ridge District Public School Board (KPR) has appointed Jennifer Leclerc as its interim director of education. Leclerc, currently superintendent of education, teach and learning at the KPR, will fill the position that current education director W.R. (Rusty) Hick leaves when he officially retires at the end of May. Hick is leaving to become the next executive director of the Ontario Public School Board Association.

Leclerc has a doctor of education degree in curriculum, teaching and learning and has been with the KPR since 2010. In her superintendent’s role she was “responsible and accountable for all curriculum, instructional and program effectiveness related to teaching, learning and program delivery” from kindergarten to Grade 12.

That broad spectrum of responsibilities included staff development for all teachers, educational assistants and child and youth workers as well as all special education program services and the board’s special education advisory committee.

student achievement with a wealth of professional and administrative skills,” board chair Cathy Abraham said. “We are very confident in her experience and leadership abilities and pleased she has agreed to serve our board in this role.”

The search process for a permanent director has begun with appointment expected before the beginning of the 2017-18 school year, the KPR says.

The board accepted the Hick retirement notice during their April 27 meeting.

Hick was the longest serving director in the board’s history having started in September 2009.

Hick began his teaching career with the York Region District School Board before joining the KPR as a principal in 1999. In 2004, he was appointed superintendent of schools and held several superintendent positions before moving into the director of education’s chair in 2009.

“Our organization has been wellserved by Rusty’s leadership. We are well-positioned to continue our improvement and evolution as a school district and he will be missed greatly,” Abraham said at the time of the Hick retirement announcement.

Midnight Madness kicks off fishing season

BY BILL FREEMAN

Hastings – The weather has never been a deterrent to hardy anglers who join the Midnight Madness excitement on the bridge in Hastings.

And this year’s tenth anniversary Canada 150 fishing celebration was no exception, despite high waters along the Trent River and coolish weather, with 175 people participating.

Popular fishing guide Taro Murata of FishCity.tv was on hand to hand out some of the prizes including the award for the first fish caught during the catchand-release derby that ushers in the Walleye season.

The big fishing party on the bridge near Lock 18 hosted by the Hastings Historical Society heralds the beginning of Walleye season. 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 was a Trent Hills Canada 150 event celebrating the rich

and ancient fishing heritage of Hastings and district which started with the First Nations.

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

Landing the first fish of the night was Leo Downer of Belleville, a first-time competitor in the event.

The second and third fish caught were hauled in by young seasoned local veterans Kody West and Kenny Ohno.

Murata also handed out a $20 “wildcard” prize which he donated for the youngest angler or smallest fish. It was won by 12-year-old Emily Ward of Hastings.

Hastings Historical Society members Alice Hall, the lead organizer, Skye Morrison, Ian Wilkins and Jim Coveney were instrumental in putting the event together.

Stirling police hold open house

BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling—Police Week was celebrated in Stirling on Saturday, May 20, with an open house between 10 a.m and 2 p.m. at the Stirling-Rawdon Police Services station.

“We've had approximately 20 people who have come through,” Chief Dario Cecchin said. Many of the visitors were locals who asked about the possibility of policing in Stirling being taken over by the OPP. Others brought their families to meet the chief and tour the facility.

“They're a pretty easy-going crowd!”

Cecchin said. Even so, some ended up in the holding cells for a minute or two.

Mary Dubé of Stirling asked to sit inside a cell — her first time “in jail” — so she could say she had finally been there.

However, she and her family were rather taken aback by the hot pink colour of the cells, which the chief said was supposed to be a calming colour. Instead, people were seen covering their eyes from the pink glare!

Dubé's grandson, Morris Dubé, who was visiting from Mississauga, was quite intrigued by the whole tour, since he wants to become a police officer one day.

COSSA gold for Knights track duo

BY BILL FREEMAN

Belleville – Austin Murray and Marisha Thompson had a golden COSSA track and field championship. The Norwood District High duo struck gold at the Central Ontario high school championships topping a strong showing by the Knights.

The top five athletes in each event advance to the Eastern Regional finals in Ottawa where they’ll vie for a spot in this year’s OFSAA championship which will also be held in Belleville. The top four at the East Regionals move on the provincial finals.

Norwood District will have seven athletes competing in

eight different events in Ottawa.

Marisha won the midget 1500 metres in a personal best time of 5:27.27 then added a bronze medal in the open steeplechase. Austin earned gold in the midget javelin with a personal best throw of 41.62 meters.

Also earning bronze medals were Logan Hall, junior 10 m hurdles, and Jacob Lloyd, midget discus.

Emma Beavis finished fourth in the senior javelin while Silas Hubert, midget javelin, and Hannah Scrimshaw, junior long jump, placed fifth to advance to the East Regionals.

Also earning ribbons at

COSSA were Sophie Burnett, sixth in the midget shot put; Amanda Jeffries, junior 80 m hurdles and Scrimshaw, junior 100 meters, both placing seventh; eighth place finishes went to Hall, junior triple jump; Lloyd, midget triple jump; the midget 400 meter relay team of Nic Pedersen, Lloyd, Dawson Baptie and Jacob Angermann and the senior girls 400 meter relay team of Shannon Scriver, Alexa Vanderhorst, Cassie Armstrong and Ashton Gee. Thirty schools from the Kawartha and Bay of Quinte regions competed participated in COSSA with 16 athletes in each event.

Silence is Lonely When at first our hearing begins to fade; Though the signs are foretelling, we may choose to evade.

We tell others they don’t speak clearly, they mumble a lot; My concentration is elsewhere, that’s why I ask what.

Please talk a bit louder, your voice is so weak; I could hear you just fine, when you’re close at hand; If you would learn to enunciate, I could understand.

Being with family is one of life’s greatest joys; But don’t expect me to hear with all of that noise.

It’s easy to blame others, though it’s not really fair; It’s your hearing problem, solve it, show others you care.

He who said ‘silence is golden’ spoke for himself only; For the hearing impaired, ‘silence is lonely’.

Water levels drop on Ouse and Indian Rivers but continue to rise on Trent

BY BILL FREEMAN

Peterborough County — While water levels along the Ouse and Indian Rivers continue to drop, that’s not the case for the Trent and Otonabee Rivers and in Rice Lake.

Otonabee Conservation officials say as a result of rising waters on the Kawartha Lakes, and in particular Lake Katchewanooka, flows on the Otonabee River continue to increase. In a 24-hour period, water levels on the river below Lock 19 (Peterborough) rose four centimetres to 189.06 meters above seas level.

If there were no changes May 9 on the flows in and out of Buckhorn, Stoney or Katchewanooka Lakes, officials anticipate water levels on the Otonabee will continue rising at the same rate as they did on Monday, May 8, with the expectation that they would rise another four centimetres over the next 24hour period.

“In response to the voluminous amounts of water coming down the Otonabee River, water levels on Rice Lake as well as levels and flows on the Trent River to Hastings are continuing to rise,” Otonabee Conservation said.

Rice Lake rose five centimetres on May 8 and was expected to rise another five centimetres on May 9.

A high-pressure system will dominate the region and the area to the north for the next three days with no significant weather in the forecast for the next three days, Otonabee Conservation says.

“However, on day four, a large low-pressure system centred east of Lake Superior will begin to bring rain to our region,” it adds.

They expect “nominal rainfall” south of the Kawartha Lakes, but north of the Kawartha Lakes the system is expected to be stronger. The current forecast is that Haliburton, Bancroft, and the Reservoir Lakes region will receive about 40 millimetres of rain before the system leaves the region.

There will be a return to drier conditions on May 15, the conservation authority said.

Officials are stressing that people continue to use extreme caution around water courses and remain vigilant.

“Owing to their higher-than-normal levels, flows and the cold water temperatures all of the lakes, rivers, streams and creeks continue to pose a serious threat,” Otonabee Conservation said.

Throughout the conservation authority’s geographical jurisdiction “significant pooling/ponding has occurred in low-lying areas where there is poor drainage,” they say.

Wetlands have also swelled to a point of covering roads in some areas.

Local residents should obey all closure signs and never drive through a flooded area.

They should also avoid dams, culverts, and other water control and conveyance structures at all times.

To report a flood, people can contact the ORCA flood watch hotline at 705-745-5791, ext. 228, or via email at orcafloodduty@otonabee.com

Catholic school board honours exceptional Quinte-area students, volunteer Three Quinte-area residents received special awards from the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board, which celebrated Catholic Education Week with a special mass on May 2.

The Katherine Award, which honours an individual, group or school whose charitable efforts honour the spirit of giving of the late Katharine Splinter, went to Sheila Toner, a dedicated volunteer at St. Carthagh Catholic School in Tweed.

Since her retirement 22 years ago as a classroom teacher with the former Hastings Prince Edward County Roman Catholic Separate School Board, Sheila has demonstrated the spirit of giving through her volunteer work at the school.

She truly exemplifies the ALCDB’s motto, “Faith in Action” through her volunteer work with the St. Carthagh school community, assisting with the Food for Learning program, and serving as a judge for public speaking and science fairs.

She is a pivotal member of the breakfast club, purchasing all food and attending faithfully to prepare a nutritious breakfast for the students of St. Carthagh.

Not only is Sheila visible within the school, she

always participates in the monthly school masses and is present at any and all celebrations both at the school and in the Parish.

Sheila is a pillar of the Tweed community through her work with the parish, the Catholic Women’s League and Hospice Quinte. For over 22 years she has volunteered her time for this community and is truly an example of Faith in Action, the school board says.

The Secondary Student Volunteer Recognition Award, which recognizes individuals who have provided exemplary services to a school, to the benefit of the students and staff of that site, went to Esegent Lemma, a student at Nicholson Catholic College in Belleville.

Esegent is a reliable and caring young woman. She is so involved in the life of the Nicholson School community that she is known for being the “go to” person that students approach if they have questions. Esegent’s bubbly, bigger-thanlife personality is infectious.

She is a dedicated young woman who has accumulated many hours of volunteering to the benefit of her school, the Belleville community, and her church.

Esegent’s list of volunteering at school is plentiful.

She is on student council and has been a welcoming face at Grade 7 orientation, and both the Grade 8 and 9 Parent Nights.

Esegent is a member of the Social Justice Club, the Best Buddies Club, and the Gardening Club, as well as being on the School Reach Team and the curling team.

Last year she served as a member of the Minister’s Student Advisory Council with the Ministry of Education. Outside of school, Esegent is heavily involved in her church, both as a Sunday school teacher and a vacation bible school leader.

This winter she spent countless hours volunteering in the community at Inn From the Cold, serving hot meals to those in need. She has also been involved in activities surrounding International Women’s Day and Relay For Life.

Esegent has been nominated for Kindness Awards over the years because of the impact she has had on her fellow students. She is committed to fostering inclusion in the school. She offers her time and talents with humility and grace.

She has a heart of gold and a smile that exudes love, caring and a genuine concern for others. Her altruistic nature is a gift to all.

Brianna Young receives her award from chair of the Catholic Education Week committee Nicholas Woolley.

Catholic school board honours exceptional Quinte-area students, volunteer continued from page 1

The Student Volunteer Recognition Award, which recognizes individuals who have provided exemplary services to an elementary school, to the benefit of the students and staff of that site, went to Brianna Young, a student at Sacred Heart Catholic School in

Marmora.

Brianna creates relationships with the students and staff of Sacred Heart Marmora, with her kind and caring attitude. She is passionate about everything that she does and offers assistance to anyone who may require it.

She continually seeks opportu-

nities around her school to lend assistance and guidance to all. Brianna participates in school masses with her singing and volunteers in the kindergarten classroom every lunch hour. She helps the office to organize handouts and distributes them to classrooms.

Within her own classroom Bri-

anna seeks out opportunities to assist her peers and helps to decorate and clean.

She is a true leader, who has encouraged her classmates to join her in volunteering in the primary classrooms. The younger students on the school yard look for Brianna, their role model, to assist

them with solving problems. She also volunteers her time with the Historical Foundation within the community.

Brianna is a perfect example of a student who truly embraces and exemplifies the Ontario Catholic School Graduate Expectations, the school board says.

Entrepreneurs In Action: TH LOGISTICS

Business achievement requires going the extra mile

Trevor Hagerman has worked in transportation since high school. He learned the ins and outs of the industry and successfully built businesses for other people. That can grow very frustrating when you know you could be building something for yourself.

It was the support and encouragement of his wife, Shelley, that finally moved him from Operations Manager for someone else to the proud owner of TH Logistics. She insisted he not work from home but instead rent an office space, buy furniture and have a phone system set up – he needed to look and feel ‘in business’. That was in 2008 and he was starting from scratch.

Trenval Business Development Corporation was created in 1987 by the Federal Government to support small business and aspiring entrepreneurs. They grow our local economy by lending funds to small business and managing grant programs.

Congratulations to these Trenval clients and successful Entrepreneurs in Action!

The first truth of business is that there is no business if there are no customers so delivering remarkable customer service has been driving TH Logistics from mile one.

If a customer needs a big load picked up in New Brunswick and delivered to B.C.

by Wednesday – consider it done. Pick up in the States, delivery abroad, big, small, heavy, cumbersome, land, air, sea – done.

“Becoming an independent agent of Landstar gave us access to a network of safe, reliable transportation logistics and supply chain solutions, 24/7 individual attention to detail, access to more than 36,000 available capacity providers and made TH Logistics uniquely qualified to meet all transportation and logistics needs across North America and around the world.”

Today, there are a total of 10 staff at TH Logistics (Shelley’s on board too) and they work out of a very large, beautifully renovated building in Stirling, Ontario. “We needed to acquire commercial space to operate our growing business and that’s what brought us to Trenval. We are ever grateful for the assistance provided by Trenval and their partner, the Business Development Bank of Canada, to help us accomplish our goals!”

Shelley said she wishes she had stopped into Trenval way back in the days of setting up the first office. “I had to find out about HST and registering the business and all that on my own. I wish I would have found out about Trenval and their business services sooner.”

TH Logistics are Landstars largest independent Canadian agent and have

The first award on the shelf has ‘Trevor Hagerman’ engraved on it. After that, he insisted the company name be inscribed instead because it was the team that was achieving goals not him alone. “Your staff is your greatest asset. Treat them accordingly” says Trevor.

Staff are included in monthly goal setting, are encouraged to offer ideas and to feel a sense of ownership.

And Trevor insists the company doesn’t become complacent. “We invested in new technology that took our relationship with each customer to the next level”. And even more service enhancements are planned.

Public Health’s beach monitoring program starts for summer Hastings Prince Edward Public Health’s beach monitoring program has started for the summer and beach-goers will now be able to tell easily if bathing waters at designated public beaches are safe for swimming.

Signs will be posted at all beaches monitored by Hastings Prince Edward Public Health. You can also find out if your favourite beach is safe for swimming by calling the beach info-line at 613966-5500 ext. 652 or 1-800-267-2803 ext. 652 or by visiting the Water Safety section of www. hpepublichealth.ca.

As of late last week, no beaches were posted as unsafe.

However, the health unit is warning that, due to recent flooding, high-

er than normal levels of E. coli contamination may be present in surface waters. Additionally, the public is warned there may be hidden hazards and debris.

Lower Trent Conservation is advising the public to exercise extreme caution around all waterways. Strong currents pose a safety hazard to anyone.

But, normally, the beach monitoring program is concerned with levels of E. coli bacteria.

“Public health staff collects a minimum of five water samples from each beach scheduled for monitoring that week,” says Allison Girouard, a Public Health inspector.

“These samples are sent to a provincial lab and tested for levels of E. coli bacteria.”

When bacterial counts exceed provincial guidelines, warning signs are posted at the beach advising that the water is unsafe for swimming.

“The health unit also recommends that people do not swim at a public beach for up to 48 hours after a heavy rain because E. coli levels tend to be higher then,” added Girouard. “High levels of bacteria in recreational water can cause skin, ears, eyes, nose and throat infections and stomach disorders.”

“The health unit also recommends that people do not swim at a public beach for up to 48 hours

after a heavy rain because E. coli levels tend to be higher then.”

Inspector with Hastings Prince Edward Public Health. She suggests the following: • Upgrade septic systems and keep them in good working order.

• Pet owners should observe local ‘stoop & scoop’ bylaws • Detach eaves troughs from sewers so they discharge onto lawns. This reduces the amount of rainwater going directly into sewers.

• Ensure that washroom additions to your home are connected properly to the sanitary sewers.

• Fence livestock away from streams and provide them with alternate water sources.

• Ensure that runoff from feedlots and manure piles are properly contained.

“By participating in Relay for Life, I feel like I am still trying to help my brother,” says Teresa. “This is my fourth year taking part in Relay.”

For more than 75 years, the Canadian Cancer Society has led the fight against cancer and we’ve made incredible progress. Today, more than 60 per cent of Canadians diagnosed with cancer will survive compared to about 25 per cent in the 1940s.

We know that more work needs to be done. Due to our aging and growing population, cancer rates are expected to rise by 40 per cent by 2030. This means that more of our friends and family will be hearing the words “you have cancer.”

Setting us apart from other cancer charities, we do more to fight cancer. In addition to funding more research into all types of cancer, we educate people about prevention, advocate to government on cancer-related issues and provide support services to patients and their families.

Funds raised through the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life are making a real difference in the lives of local people. For instance, our information and support services helped 377 patients in our area last year.

Relay For Life is a festival-like fundraising event where team members take turns walking around a track or designated path. Our events are 6 and 12

hours in length. Each team taking part is asked to have at least one member on the track at all times to symbolize the ongoing fight against cancer.

Don’t have a team? No worries, you register independently and we can help you join a team or you can create one at a later date.

What happens at a Relay For Life event?

Relay For Life is a fun event that is open to people of all fitness levels. Participants walk or run together around a track passing a baton to their team mates and working together toward one common goal - the fight against cancer. Participants also enjoy music, food, fun track-side activities and entertainment.

Our Relay For Life event will feature: A Survivors’ Victory Lap through which cancer survivors and those who are cancer-free or living with the disease are cheered on by all participants in an emotional wave of celebration and support.

A Luminary Ceremony, through which luminaries (candles that have been placed in special bags) are lit and look like beautiful lanterns. A luminary is more than just a candle.

It is the symbol of a life and a tribute to a loved one and their cancer journey. These luminaries provide light and inspiration for the participants as they walk around the track.

How can I get involved?

TRAVEL

Checking out Utah’s Largest National Park

BY JOHN M. SMITH

Utah’s Canyonlands National Park reminds me somewhat of Arizona’s Grand Canyon National Park. Both are mammoth, and both offer humungous, colourful landscapes that have been eroded into a plethora of canyons, mesas, pinnacles, and buttes, carved by the Colorado River and its tributaries. The Grand Canyon is, of course, larger and more often visited, but Utah’s largest park also has a lot to offer.

I used Moab as my base for my visit to Utah’s largest park, and the park’s most popular section, the Island in the Sky, is just a short drive away (32 mi./51 km.).

Upon arrival, I discovered that this awesome section is, quite literally, like visiting an island in the sky, for it’s the highest part of the park, a gigantic mesa, and it offers incredibly spectacular panoramic views. I could peer into canyons that were spread out far below, and I could see for a distance of perhaps a hundred miles. It was like being on the top of a very high observation tower and surveying all that was laid out beneath! I peered down, perhaps about 1,000 feet below me, at the White Rim, a nearly continuous sandstone surface that follows the contours of the gigantic mesa, and then far below that again I could see the Colorado and Green Rivers flowing gently, almost sedately, surrounded by mammoth canyon walls.

However, when these two rivers eventually meet, much further south within this park, there’s a dramatic, powerful change, for they will suddenly swirl furiously through a stretch of world-class whitewater that’s known as the Cataract Canyon.

There are a lot of contrasts like that in this amazing park, for I saw dead looking shrubs clinging to the rocky edge of the high cliffs, beautiful wildflowers flourishing in the desert-like landscape, and pine trees apparently growing right out of the slickrock (smooth wind-polished rock). How can their roots take hold and survive in that rock? I also saw tiny, twisting dirt roads that wound their way down those massive canyon walls, all the way to the canyon floor – an invitation for the four-wheel drive daredevil or the avid mountain biker (but no ATVs are allowed).

In fact, the best mountain bike trail in the entire park is found in this section: the 100 mi./165 km.

White Rim Trail, which loops around and below the large mesa top. What a challenge!

Entering Utah’s Canyonlands National Park.

John M. Smith/Metroland

I stopped at Island in the Sky Visitor Centre to get some pertinent information about this park, and I stopped at several exceptional lookouts along this route. Arguably the best spot was the Grand View Point Lookout, at the end of the road, but I also enjoyed the Buck Canyon Overlook, Candlestick Tower Overlook, Green River Overlook, Upheaval Dome, Mesa Arch, and the Shafer Canyon Overlook. Inspirational!

If you’re only spending a day in the Island in the Sky district of the park, I’d recommend doing some of the very best hiking trails, including the I mi./1.6 km.

Grand View Trail (leading to the very southern tip of the Island in

the Sky plateau), the 1 mi./1.6 km.

Upheaval Dome Overlook Trail (viewing a large crater on the west side of the plateau), the 1 mi./1.6 km. Aztec Butte Trail (passing a cliff dwelling and several ancient Anasazi granaries), and the even shorter Mesa Arch Loop (.6 mi/1 km.). If you’re staying longer, backcountry permits and rafting permits may be purchased.

Although the Island in the Sky section of the park is the most visited, Canyonlands National Park is actually spread out over four districts, so it’s also possible to access a different part of the park by heading south of Moab and then west on route #211. This drive will take you to the Needles, a group of massive sandstone

spires. This section may remind you of another of Utah’s fascinating parks, Arches National Park, for you’ll find Angel Arch, Castle Arch, Druid Arch, and Wooden Shoe Arch here. You’ll also find the Needles Visitor Centre, of course, and the short Roadside Ruin Trail leads from this Centre to an ancient Puebloan granary.

along this section of the park’s roadway, you’ll find a great viewpoint at the Big Spring Canyon Overlook, and the best view of the Needles themselves is found via the Elephant Hill access road.

Short, interesting hikes are located at Cave Spring (passing a spring, some pictographs, and relics of an old cowboy camp) and Pothole Point (renowned for its reflective pools and potholes that form after a rainfall). More challenging hikes are also available, including the 10 mi./16 km.

Confluence Overlook Trail, which leads to a cliff high above the junction of the park’s two major rivers.

The westernmost section of this large park is known as The Maze, and it’s the most rugged and difficult to access. In fact, you won’t get there via car at all.

You’ll need a four-wheel-drive vehicle to get into this wild jungle of canyons on very rough, isolated, and rugged so-called “roads”.

However, if you were to visit this particular area in your Hummer, check out its Horseshoe Canyon (where rangers offer guided weekend hikes in the spring and fall), Maze Overlook, and Chimney Rock.

Utah’s Canyonlands National Park has much to offer the adventurer. It’s, indeed, a grand, wild, fascinating destination.

The Good Earth A few flowering trees always brighten up spring

CHAINSAW CHALLENGE

Dan Clost

This morning I walked down our side pathway which is shaded by a very mature clump - almost a copse of French hybrid lilacs. I was stopped in my tracks by the delicate fragrance of the blossoms. I’m fortunate in that my workplace gives me occasion to enjoy the scents of spring ahead of their time; especially when we receive forced bulbs (induced to flower ahead of their natural season), of which the

most welcome are hyacinths.

During the dreary almost interminable days of March, they smell lovely; however, there is, to me, a feeling of “closedness” which I know is not a real word. Perhaps it is psychological, perhaps it is an innate knowing that, as pleasant as it is, the perfume is not “free.” The floral essence of spring is meant to be carried by soft breezes wherever that may be. I know I can approach a flow-

er and stuff my snoot into the bloom (always checking for busy pollinators first) but capturing a hint of fragrance on the wind is guaranteed to bring a smile to my face.

Lilacs and apple blossoms share equal billing for me.

Many years ago, I worked in the Morning Star Orchards just west of Trenton. Can you imagine, Gentle Reader, standing in the middle of 90 acres of apple trees in full bloom? What a wonderful stroke of fortune that allowed me to experience that. A close third is the perfume of the peony. (Oddly enough, I very much dislike the smell of roses and Lilies of the Valley.) Equally unusual, according to our customers, I’m not overly fond of magnolias.

I’m sure you’ve noticed, GR, that this is turning into a fabulous season for spring flowering shrubs and trees. I don’t ever recall the forsythia flowers being so vibrant and enduring; let’s hope they’re a harbinger of a fantastic gardening season.

I did a quick tour of the Clost estate to inventory the flowers: several clumps of

French hybrid lilacs, a Belgian variety which I’ve not been able to name, a delicate Tinkerbelle lilac (Syringa meyeri x Syringa microphylla), a redbud tree (Cercis canadensis), several wayfaring shrubs (Viburnum lantana ‘Mohican’) and a dogwood standard (Cornus kousa var chinensis.)

Unfortunately, our apple tree did not make it through the winter - it had been in decline for a few years - so I’ve resorted to vicarious apple blossom sniffing at the nursery.

Now is the time to tour the neighbourhoods and nurseries to decide which ones, appeal most. In the neighbourhoods mature specimens will give you two important pieces of information: whether or not you like it and whether or not a certain plant will grow in your area.

Is Ludwig Spathe darkest of the lilacs or is it Yankee Doodle? If you limit yourself to just reading the literature you’ll see that some folk describe Congo as a redpurple and Paul Thirion as a blue-purple: you’ll see Agincourt Beauty, Monge, Donald Wyman, Minuet, Dark Knight, and etc. and etc. all with the word “purple” affixed as a descriptor. Flowering crab-apples are very similar in that regard. You have to see them in bloom to know.

Other bloomers you might check out include the magnolias which have many smaller-sized offerings, redbuds, stone fruits such as peaches, apricots, nectarines and cherries, ornamental cherries- especially Higan and Kwanzan cultivars, and Japanese lilac- Canadian bred ‘Ivory Silk’ is a beautiful performer. Large trees such as catalpas and horsechestnuts can be stunning but they do need a lot of space.

Pedal for Hope is now Give Where You Live campaign After five successful years, police officers behind the cancer-fighting Pedal for Hope Quinte team are embarking on a new adventure This year the officers and volunteers who brought you the Pedal for Hope Quinte are switching gears, changing their name and revving up a new program to be called Give Where You Live .

It symbolizes a new era in locally-based fundraising with local elementary students.

The same police officers will now be visiting local elementary schools in the fall of 2017 during a cycling event, offering a dynamic, fun-filled school assemblies and a positive message of hope to thousands of students across Hastings and Prince Edward counties.

The same event format will be used, with tour dates tentatively from October 10 to October 20. The tour dates and times will be finalized in early September 2017.

Symbolizing the local support for this new initiative, all of the same sponsors with Pedal for Hope Quinte – Reid’s Dairy, Canadian Tire Belleville and Bayview Auto Belleville – have remained on board for this new venture.

As well, the families of children who have had, or are battling, cancer have expressed their positive support for the change.

“The Pedal for Hope Quinte tour was an incredible venture for all police officers involved,” noted organizer Const. Jeremy Ashley of the Belleville Police Service. “And the same crew is continuing to volunteer under a new name ‘ Give Where You Live’ - which we feel better represents our goals working

cated off the shores of Wellington in Prince Edward County.

Over the years, Camp Trillium’s OuR Island has not only offered local children living with cancer and their families a special experience, but has made it a priority to support local businesses, hire local students and staff from Prince Edward and Hastings counties.

Money raised through the Give Where You Live program will assist in maintaining and upgrading the aging facilities at the campground.

with our community.”

Sgt. James Locke of the Ontario Provincial Police said the officers involved are eager to re-engage elementary students in Prince Edward and Hastings counties with a refreshed outlook.

“The program we created and refined over the past several years has helped to establish new relationships with children in our local communities – and that’s something that we will continue and expand upon with Give Where You Live.”

The beneficiary of the 2017 tour will be Camp Trillium’s OuR Island, which is lo-

Give Where You Live is a joint partnership between officers with the Belleville Police Service and local Ontario Provincial Police detachments, bringing together a renewed dedication to helping our local community, families and charitable organizations succeed.

Public school board grad rates increase, below provincial average The Hastings Prince Edward District School board saw an increase in its graduation rate in 2016; pleasing news for a school board that’s put a focus on student success in its strategic plan.

The five-year rate for students who graduated in June 2016 was 76.2 per cent, an increase of 1.5 percentage points from the 2015, the school board said in a recent news release.

Of the 1,235 students enrolled in Grade 9 starting in 2011‐2012, 918 graduated within five years.

The rate for students who graduated within four years in June 2016 was 70.1 per cent, which is an

increase of 4.6 percentage points from 2015.

However, these numbers are below provincial averages.

The provincial graduation rate for students who stayed in secondary school for five years was 86.5 per cent and for four years was 79.6 per cent.

These graduation rates are calculated based on a cohort of students who entered Grade 9 together in 2011-2012 and graduated with an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) by 20152016.

The rates take into account all students who began their Grade

9 year in HPEDSB. They also include students who moved to another school district in Ontario to continue their schooling, and students who no longer attended school for one reason or another.

Students who moved out of province, before graduation are not included in the rate.

“We are committed to student achievement and well‐being,” the board said in a statement. “A priority in the 2015‐2020 strategic plan is Achieving Excellence & Equity which includes a goal to increase graduation rates and reduce achievement gaps for students not yet at the provincial standard.”

BY JACK EVANS

It’s time for Hastings County council members to put on their thinking caps for nominations for this year’s “honorary warden.”

The tradition started a few years ago and the deadline to appoint a new one is coming up fast, Warden Rodney Cooney reminded at a recent finance, property and personnel committee meeting.

Qualifications include an outstanding record of community service or business success.

The committee also go an update on the continuing success of the Centre Hastings Transit operated by the local non-for-profit Central Hastings Support Network.

That agency provided start-up funding for the bus service starting in 2009. The service now operates for Tweed, Madoc, Marmora, Stirling and Belleville for people to get to work, medical appointments or for students going to classes at subsidized rates.

Ridership has grown steadily, gaining 15

per cent in the past year alone, said Sally Gale, executive director of the support network.

She gave notice that the transit service will be seeking additional funds in the months ahead in order to expand its services, as more people become aware of its special stop signs, including ones at Belleville General Hospital.

Routes may be added to key locations outside the county. She assured one representative from a township north of Madoc that if people get delivered to a bus stop point they are welcome to use the service.

Also reporting to council were representatives of the county’s auditing firm, Richard Steiginga and Duane Potter, from the accounting firm of Collins Barrow, who reported another “clean” audit with no faults and a surplus of more than $65,700 from last year.

The committee also recommended for regular council a program for spraying of wild parsnip weeds throughout county roads and properties.
