7th annual Warkworth Lilac Festival a sensation

613-965-6626

GEROW PROPANE LTD.

OVER 60 YEARS EXPERIENCE

BY SUE DICKENS

Warkworth — The Millennium Lilac Trail with its 300 lilac plantings showcasing 83 unique varieties welcomed visitors to the 7th annual Warkworth Lilac Festival on the weekend.

Janice Allen, co-chair of the event with Mary Henry, was all smiles at the venue. She talked about this year’s festival, commenting on all the activities and new happenings this year, including the new flagpole and permanent structure unveiled at the entrance to the trail. “Everybody has been buying lilacs, and over the seven years, they have all taken root and our whole community is so pretty.”

Allen’s favourite lilac is an appropriate choice: “I love the Sensation lilac. It has such a beautiful, deep purple and is so vibrant.”

Pam Pollock of nearby Norham, who was with her friend Jude Allison, was among the many who attended the two day event from May 27 and May 28. “I’ve never had a chance to come to the lilac festival. I’ve always been working, but I am off today and I want to walk through the Millennium Trail. I tried to convince my husband to come with me to walk the trail. I said, ‘Come and smell the lilacs. You need to get in touch with the earth,’” she commented.

She was admiring the 11 entries in the lilac competition on display on Main Street, whose organizer later announced that Cathy McCrea of Warkworth won the people’s choice award in the A Touch of Lilac contest.

Across the street, the Warkworth Lilac Festival’s juried photo show was happening, where best in show was

Down the street, Lindsay’s Zoo to You was entertaining the children, as Taryn Drover opened containers and exhibited everything from bearded dragons to a Chilean rose hair tarantula, a tree frog, a rabbit and more.

Ten-year-old Chaiora Haylestrom took the time to decorate a cupcake

while her sister volunteered at the festival.

Then there was Linda Rose, who had arrived from Ottawa with her husband Greg. Dressed in a Victorian outfit from head to toe, she made her way from the downtown area to the Canada 150-themed Victorian Tea Party.

“I go to every Victorian tea that I can find,” she told the Trent Hills News. “I love the elegance. If you

wear a long skirt and pretty blouse and a bonnet, you are halfway there,” she said, grinning.

Before the event was done, Allen was already talking about next year’s.

“I have the most wonderful committee of 25, at least, who make this all possible.”

BIA executive resigns after 'accusations' by mayor leave members 'disheartened'

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford — The executive of the BIA has resigned en masse, in response to “accusations” it claimed were directed at the board by the mayor at a public meeting to discuss plans for revitalizing Campbellford's downtown.

In a letter sent to the municipality on May 19, announcing their resignation effective immediately, the board's seven members — president Caroline Bingley; vice-president Brenda Bullock; past president Janice Rabethge; treasurer Brooklyn Allan; and directors Dawn Wannamaker, Mary McTaggart and Marg Stapley — didn't spell out the accusations they allege Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan had made.

But, Bingley said in an interview that the mayor had noted there were no board members at the May 16 meeting, which led him to question

their “involvement” in the project.

“Unfortunately, that evening, we couldn't attend” for business or personal reasons, she said. “We're all business women who have other obligations.”

When word got back to the executive about what Macmillan had said, “we were a bit disheartened” and a little “saddened,” Bingley said.

They held a special meeting and decided it was time “to step back” and withdraw their services as volunteers.

In their letter to the municipality, they pointed out members had put in close to 2,000 hours in the last two years on behalf of the BIA and “accomplished many things,” including organizing promotions and holding special events.

“We do have other things in our lives that keep us busy, and this does take a lot of the board members’ time,” Bingley said. “The people on

this board really care about what happens to our downtown, and if we're not being supported by our head of council or (are) discredited in a public meeting, then maybe we shouldn't be doing it.”

But, Macmillan said it's all “a big misunderstanding,” as none of the executive had been at the meeting to hear what he said nor had they contacted him later to find out.

“I wonder what someone has told them,” he said in an email.

More than 50 people were at the meeting, and anyone “can attest there was absolutely no accusations made, nor was there criticism, as far as I'm concerned,” he said in an interview.

“All I said was I'm concerned (and) disappointed” as well as “surprised” there were no board members present, “because they have a significant role to play in the downtown core.”

Macmillan said he had been told by

SALE OF LAND BY PUBLIC TENDER The Corporation of the Municipality of Marmora and Lake does hereby give public notice in accordance with the Municipal Act, R.S.O., 2001, Chapter 25, Section 268 and amendments thereto, to offer for sale by public tender the following described surplus land: 1.

Tenders must be received prior to 12:00 p.m. on June 16, 2017 and will be opened in public in the Municipal Office at 1:00 p.m. that same day.

The Municipality makes no representation regarding the title to, or any other matters relating to the land. Responsibility for ascertaining these matters rests solely with the purchaser and they are required to pay the balance of the amount tendered (less the 20% tender deposit) plus accumulated taxes and penalties, the relevant land transfer tax and the GST within a period not to exceed 30 days.

one board member that the revitalization initiative was viewed as “a rogue project and a distraction.”

He had also received messages from members that because of their “busy lives, they had considered resigning anyway, and felt that this was just an opportunity to do so because others were going to do (it).”

Bingley said members were getting tired and “burnt out” by their volunteer work, so she wasn't surprised the decision to resign was unanimous.

“It is a loss to the community that we've said, OK, we've had enough,” she said. “It was a lot of time and energy out of our evenings, because we ran our businesses during the day.”

The BIA is “absolutely” in support of efforts to revitalize the downtown which are “well in progress,” said Bingley. But, it “is a long-term process” and “not just the responsibility of the BIA to change the downtown look and feel.”

“Every resident, every person in this community, has a responsibility to step up and take part. It shouldn't just fall on seven people on a board.”

Macmillan thanked the former executive for their service.

“We'll miss them, but we'll move on,” he said, reiterating “there was never any criticism implied.” He insisted they would have realized this had they heard his actual words and the tone he used.

“I'm the last guy to criticize volunteers,” Macmillan said. “I've said hun-

dreds of times a municipality could not survive without its volunteers and I still feel that way. But, in this case, we'll have to do without them for a period of time until council makes a decision (about what to do next).”

Caroline Bingley, president of the Campbellford BIA, and the six other members of her executive resigned en masse because of comments made by the mayor in their absence at a public meeting held to discuss downtown revitalization.

Highway 37 collision leads to drugs and gun bust

BY SUE DICKENS

Madoc - More drugs are off the streets, say police, after the Central Hastings OPP detachment here responded to a motor vehicle collision and discovered drugs, a handgun and a submachine gun in one of the vehicles.

Police were dispatched to the twovehicle collision on Highway #37 just south of Marlbank Road in the Municipality of Tweed on May 25. What police found at the scene astounded officers and led to a dramatic arrest.

In one of the vehicles, said police, were guns, drugs and a Vaughan man who is now in police custody.

Police said one of the drivers, 24-year-old Mohhammed Ahmed Mian, of Vaughan, has been charged with: dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm; possession of cocaine; possession for the purpose of trafficking, cannabis resin; possession for the purpose of trafficking, marijuana; possession of a prohibited firearm, a handgun; as well as five other firearms related offences.

A female passenger from the second vehicle involved was transported to hospital with unknown injuries.

Mian was held in custody pending a bail hearing in Belleville which was scheduled for May 26.

Speaking to the Central Hills News on Mon., May 29, during an interview, Detachment Commander Staff Sgt. Scott Semple, talked about the discovery.

“This whole seizure started with a motor vehicle collision and it was through the investigative efforts of those officers that arrived at the scene that it ended up with them basically discovering the drugs and guns,” he said.

“With further investigation by the officers they determined there were narcotics in the vehicle starting with cocaine and it ended up being a large quantity of these THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol, active ingredient in marijuana) edible products,” he added.

The message Semple wants to get out to the public is this: “Now with dispensaries popping up everywhere

and people buying this product, we just want people to know that even though we know the government is proposing a change to the laws that this is not legal to have. . . . The dispensaries are popping up everywhere under the guise of dispensing medical marijuana.”

Semple noted, ”There is obviously a criminal element involved in the distribution of the product and the person in this case had two prohibited firearms, so there is a definite connection between this edible product and

the dispensaries and the criminal element.”

The drugs seized include 140 chocolate bars made with THC, which, according to their experts, would sell for $35 each.

“These products, we’re really not used to seeing a lot of this,” said Semple. “We want people to know this is an illegitimate business and it’s funding crime.”

Const. Lonne Foeller, of the Centre Hastings detachment, who filed the report, pointed out that even though the

federal government is moving forward with its plans to legalize marijuana, situations like the one that arose here would still result in charges laid.

“This would never be legal because of the quantity seized,” he said.

Staff Sgt. Semple added, “We’re assuming that if he’s with this much product, he is trafficking. Whether he’s bringing it to dispensaries or delivering to individuals we’re really not sure. We’re still following up on the investigative part.”

And in this particular situation, the

fact there are two prohibited firearms “brings this case to a higher level.”

The bottom line is, “We thought a message people need to know is there is a link between prohibited firearms and criminal element and these edible products.

“What we’re seeing more and more of marijuana, cannibas THC contained edibles . . . It’s becoming epidemic.”

OPINION

Islamist terrorism: Who’s to blame?

It happens after every major terrorist attack

by Islamist terrorists in a Western country: the familiar debate about who is really to blame for this phenomenon.

One side trots out the weary old trope that the terrorists simply “hate values”, and other Gwynne Dyer our side claims that it’s really the fault of Western governments for sending their troops into Muslim countries.

There’s a national election campaign underway in Britain, so the ghastly Manchester bombing last week has revived this argument.

It started when Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn (who voted against the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, the invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the seven-month bombing campaign that overthrew Libya’s dictator Muammar Gaddafi in 2011) made a speech in London on Friday.

“Many experts, including professionals in our intelligence and security services, have pointed to the connections between wars our government has supported or fought in other countries and terrorism here at home,” he said.

In a later clarification, Corbyn added: “A number of people since the interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq have drawn attention to the links with foreign policy, including (British foreign secretary) Boris Johnson in 2005, two former heads of MI5 (the Security Service), and of course the (parliamentary) Foreign Affairs Select Committee.”

With Labour catching up with the Conservatives in the polls, Prime Minister Teresa May leapt at the chance to twist Corbyn’s words and all but accused him of treason. “Jeremy Corbyn has said that terror attacks in Britain are our own fault ... and I want to make something clear to Jeremy Corbyn and to you: there can never be an excuse for terrorism, there can be no excuse for what happened in Manchester.”

Boris Johnson chimed in: “Whatever we do, we can’t follow the logic of the terrorists and start blaming ourselves or our society or our foreign policy. This has been caused not by us – as Jeremy Corbyn would have us believe – it’s been caused by a sick ideology, a perverted version of Islam that hates us and hates our way of life.”

But both sides in this argument are wrong.

The“Salafi” extremists who are called “Islamists” in the West (all of them Sunnis, and most of them Arabs) do hate Western values, but that’s not why they go to the trouble of making terrorist attacks on the West. And it’s

not because of Western foreign policies either: there were no major Western attacks on the Arab world in the years before the 9/11 atrocity in 2001.

There had been plenty of attacks in the past: the Western conquest of almost all the Arab countries between 1830 and 1918, Western military support for carving a Zionist state out of the Arab world as the European imperial powers were pulling out after 1945, Western military backing for Arab dictators and absolute monarchs ever since.

The West turned against one of those dictators, Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, after he invaded Kuwait, but it had the support of most Arab countries when it drove him out of Kuwait in the first Gulf War in 1990-91. And between then and 9/11 the West did nothing much to enrage the Arab world. Indeed, it was even backing the Palestinian-Israeli “peace process”, which looked quite promising at that time.

But there was violence in many Arab countries as Islamist revolutionaries, using terrorist tactics, tried to overthrow the local kings and dictators. Up to 200,000 Arabs were killed in these bloody struggles between 1979 and 2000, but not one of the repressive regimes was overthrown. By the turn of the century it was clear that terrorism against Arab regimes was not working. To win power, the Islamists needed a new strategy.

The man who supplied it was Osama bin Laden. He had missed out on the long terrorist war in the Arab countries because he went to Afghanistan to fight a Soviet invasion in 1979.

But in Afghanistan he fought in a war that Islamists actually won: having lost 14,000 dead, the Russians gave up and went home in 1989.

The Afghan Islamists (the Taliban) came to power as a result.

Bin Laden realized that this could be a route to power for the Islamists of the Arab world as well: provoke the West to invade Muslim countries, lead the struggle against the Western occupation forces – and when the Western armies finally give up and go home (as they always do in the end) the Islamists will come to power.

That was why he founded al-Qaeda, and 9/11 was intended to sucker the United States into playing the role of infidel invader. Western governments have never recognized this obvious fact because they are too arrogant ever to see themelves as simply the dupes in somebody else’s strategy. Their foreign policy error was to fall for bin Laden’s provocation hook, line and sinker – and they are still falling for it 16 years later.

She sells seething hate for Islam

General Manager Seaway Gavin Beer gbeer@metroland.com 613-966-2034, ext 570 Editor Chris Malette chris.malette@metroland.com 613-966-2034, ext 510 Regional Managing Editor Ryland Coyne rcoyne@metroland.com

Comment by Chris Malette The headline on the story screamed: “The Real Muslims Are The Terrorists. Period.

Here’s How We Make It Common Knowledge.”

It was the morning after the Manchester bombing and newspapers and TV news channels were ablaze with coverage. But, the headline wasn’t in a newspaper. It appeared online in a blog and, while it was seen by only a few thousand online followers, its rage and scorn for Islam was jarring.

And that’s just the way the writer intended it to be.

Its author, a 25-year-old self-styled ‘alternative media’ commentator from Belleville, used it as a platform in the hours after the Manchester bombing to educate all of us that “real Muslims” are the ones who blow up kids at concerts and “fake Muslims” are the ones who calmly carry on their lives in our communities, attend mosques, shop in our stores, serve in Parliament. The latter are not true followers of Islam, according to Belleville’s own beacon of intolerance, one Stefanie MacWilliams.

You’d be forgiven for not recognizing her in her hometown, as she likes it to be, but to ask her and her acolytes, she’s a pretty big deal with the far right, veering to alt-right, online miasma.

Post Manchester: “Buckle up, my fellow infidels, apostates, kafir, and dogs! There will be more. There will always be more, and it will always get worse. That is, until we actually do something about Islam. And since most of our impotent leaders seem unwilling to do anything about Islam, well, I guess it’s up to us.

“And ‘we’ always starts with ‘I’.

“I’m Stefanie, I love Good and hate Evil, and I am doing my part to learn about Islam, speak fearlessly about Islam, and most of all, help my readers to do the same.”

The “news” site where much of her opinion – and it is all opinion, all the time, despite the fact the outfit bills itself as a “news organization” – is based somewhere in New Jersey and called Halsey News. It describes itself as featuring “accredited journalists from across the world…” None, however, are actual journalists, nor are their names recognizable outside the echo chamber of their ilk, a network of far-right Twitter followers or assorted ranting You Tube channels. The website has little to no advertising, other than ads promoting dating Russian girls, but there’s no shortage there of hate and intolerance.

When she’s not trying to single-handedly raise a rambunctious 18-month-old boy, MacWilliams tweets incessantly – up to 100 times

DISTRIBUTION MANAGER Paul Mitchell 613-966-2034 ext 508 SALES MANAGER Melissa Hudgin 613-966-2034, ext 504 ADVERTISING SALES Jennet Honey, 613-966-2034, ext 509 Jean Convey, 613-966-2034, ext 527 Morgan Scott, 613-966-2034, ext 518 Tim Sheppard, 613-966-2034, ext 528 CLASSIFIEDS 1-888-Words Ads PRODUCTION 613-966-2034

a day – engaging in online rumbles with feminists, “lib-tards” and fancies herself a deft verbal jouster when calling them out on their arguments. This newspaper, it should be noted, was blocked, by MacWilliams, from seeing anything she posts on Twitter some months ago.

But, her content is most always based on intolerance, anger and fear-mongering.

Of the Manchester bombing on May 22, MacWilliams tweeted: “Islamophobia is not the problem. It is the solution.”

On her Twitter feed May 24, MacWilliams, as she often does, bemoaned the fact she still lives in Canada, longing as she does to become an American. “Unfortunately I live in a shitty country where I can’t even protect myself,” she said, on being scared for her life for vehemently proclaiming “I hate Islam with every fiber of my being...”

Of her upbringing and current life: “I came from a poor family and now I’m a single mother...”

She’s exceptionally proud – and incessantly re-tweets – what she believes to be a clever observation: “Christianity is a good religion that can be perverted to be evil. Islam is an evil religion that can be perverted to be good.”

You get the picture.

MacWilliams swears she’s researched Islam deeply, almost becoming a Koranic scholar in the “true meaning” of the religion (which she doesn’t term a religion – it’s an ideology and a “death cult”).

Within two hours of the attack on London on March 22, she tweeted: “If you’re not scared of Islam, you’re suicidal. Get help.”

And: “The onus is on Islam to stop being a barbaric death cult, not on me to assume the best of them as they slaughter Westerners weekly.”

On Europe welcoming refugees: “Actually, I oppose mass immigration from inferior cultures, I’m just not a Nazi.”

But, she does acknowledge she has been called a racist so many times, the term no longer fazes her. And so it is, then, that the beliefs of this “right millenial” are becoming more mainstream in the instant world of Twitter and the Internet, fortunately for most, within the echo chamber of those far right followers.

But, if as she dreams to someday do, she comes to a campus university or town hall meeting to preach her brand of ‘the truth,’ it’d be wise to do that which would torture the poor wretch.

Ignore her.

Westben canoe has people dreaming about Canada

BY BILL FREEMAN

Hastings – The Westben canoe “docked” at the Hastings Field House last week and came away with a boat filled with dreams.

Nancy Coulter, community engagement coordinator at Westben and volunteer Karen Stille were at the field house with the Canada 150 canoe to encourage pre-schoolers, parents, caregivers and friends of the Ontario Early Years Centre to share their thoughts about Canada. Tiny “dream paddles” were available for people to jot down their dreams about the country.

The canoe and paddles will be part of the free and very festive July 2 Canada Dreams concert at Westben, an event that Stille, a performer herself, is helping to coordinate along with Westben cofounder Brian Finley and well-known local artists Ken Tizzard, Howard Baer and Andy Thompson.

So far they’ve collected 700 dream paddles and visited all five local schools, says Stille.

“We’ll journey anywhere with the canoe (to) whoever wants to share their dreams,” she said.

“Children get it right off the top,” said Coulter. “Parents, adults take a little longer to come up with (their dreams).”

The beauty of it all is that it truly is a cross-generational engagement, says Coulter.

“It’s across everything,” she said.

“There have been a lot of really sweet ones; a lot about making sure Canada is safe and pollution-free; some wished we had maple popsicles.

We love those kinds of responses (and) sweet answers.”

They’ve visited organizations like the Rotary Club and would love to visit senior’s residences.

“It’s just a way to engage people

and talk about the 150th anniversary and share a hopeful, positive outlook for the future as well,” said Stille.

The July 2 concert will be memorable and include four different sets of music by four local composers.

There will be activities in the Westben meadow, food, crafters and musicians walking through the crowd.

The dream paddles will be displayed in the Westben barn, says Stille.

“We’ve had a tremendous response from the community.”

Support from the Community Fund for Canada’s 150th, Community Foundations of Canada and the Campbellford-Seymour Community Foundation has helped make the concert possible.

Nancy Coulter and Karen Stille brought the Westben “Canada Dreams” canoe to the Hastings Fieldhouse May 19.

Big dollars for Hastings water main projects

BY BILL FREEMAN

Hastings — Two major water main projects in Hastings were given a major boost by the federal and provincial governments with the announcement of $707,720 in federal and provincial funding. The announcement was made May 26 at the Hastings Field House by Northumberland-Peterborough South MP Kim Rudd and Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi.

The federal government is chipping in $471,813 through its Clean Water and Waste Water Fund and the province is adding $235,907 from its Building Ontario Fund. The municipality of Trent Hills will contribute $307,881 toward the project’s $1,015,600 cost.

The federal-provincial contribution covers 75 per cent of the cost.

The underground improvements include the replacement of cast iron water mains on Bridge, Baker and a portion of Queen Street and the separate replacement of a cast iron arterial water main on Bay Street and Park Street.

“It’s good for our local economy,” Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan said. “It

does create jobs and it is the right thing to do to protect our water systems.”

Macmillan noted the province’s $4.9 billion infrastructure deficit and said the Hastings project has “closed the gap dramatically” in terms of Trent Hills’ portion of that provincial infrastructure deficit.

“In Trent Hills we’re catching up quick,” he said.

Once the two Hastings projects are done the municipality, since amalgamation, will have replaced almost every single water main in the village, said Macmillan.

He also pointed to a new water plant and a “totally refurbished” waste water plant.

Before the waste water plant was addressed Hastings couldn’t add another new house to its system, Macmillan said.

“Look what’s happened now,” he said gesturing toward Bay Street where a new 100 home subdivision is a going concern.

“They’re putting up a dozen houses at a time now. Infrastructure needs are well on their way to being in top-notch shape.

Certainly in Hastings this is going to put us over the top.”

Manager of Municipal Infrastructure Scott White says is ready to be tendered and expects the results of that process within the month.

The project will not only turn an “old aged cast iron water main into a trunk main” it will also significantly improve both water flows and fire flows on the south side of the village, White said.

“We have very limited fire flows on this side of the community.”

in Marmora

BY SUE DICKENS

Marmora — Three people have been arrested and charged following the execution of a drug search warrant executed by the crime enforcement bureau and the emergency response team of the Central Hastings detachment of the OPP. The action happened at a residence on Deloro Road in the Municipality of Marmora and Lake on May 18 at 5:52 a.m.

As a result of their actions using the Controlled Drug and Substance Act, search warrant investigators seized a quantity of methamphetamine (crystal meth), other schedule 1 drugs, dilaudid, and other drug-related property.

Twenty-five-year old Jeffery Philippe, 29-yearold Lisa Whiteman, and 27-year-old Christine

Whiteman, all of Marmora, were arrested and charged.

All were charged with possession of a schedule 1 substance for the purpose of trafficking (methamphetamine), and possession of a schedule 1 substance, other drugs, dilaudid.

Philippe was also charged with fail to comply with probation.

Lisa Whiteman was also charged with fail to comply with probation, two counts.

The latter two individuals were released on a promise to appear and undertaking, and will appear in the Ontario Provincial Court of Justice in Belleville on June 15.

Philippe was held in custody pending a bail hearing today.

Empties for blood cancers supported Tweed - The Tweed Beer Store held its annual bottle drive raising just under $1,000 for Leukemia and Lymphoma – both blood cancers. The bottle drive is the same weekend every year at every Beer Store in Ontario.

The money was raised from donated bottles, a bake sale, a raffle, and a barbeque run

by Beer Store volunteers. The drive raised $1,605 in 2016. The 2017 total not yet available.

Donating marrow can save a life. “A donor test involves a simple cheek swab and if a match is found, the marrow ‘transplant’ typically involves a simple transfusion similar to donating blood.

You can register through online registration at onematch.ca, it ensures a steady stream of new potential donors,” states the beer store website.

Board approves $4.5 million contract to begin Marmora school renovations

BY SUE DICKENS

Marmora — Construction of the addition and renovations at Marmora Senior Public School will begin in June.

The announcement was made by the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board (HPEDSB) in a press release on May 24.

The board members approved a $4.5 million contract with Garritano Brothers Ltd. of Oshawa to do the work.

“With the tender approved, the contractor is preparing to start work on this project. In the coming weeks they will get fencing up and have the equipment on-site. We’re excited to be at this point of the project,” said Nick Pfeiffer, superintendent of business services.

The consolidated school will bring together students from Earl Prentice Public School (currently JK to Grade 3) and

Marmora Senior Public School (currently Grade 4 to 8) on the Marmora Senior site.

“This is another project to improve learning environments for HPEDSB students. Schools in other HPEDSB communities have had large-scale renovations done in recent years.

It’s good news to see a modern learning facility coming to Marmora for the benefit of students, families and the community,” added Pfeiffer.

“We are planning a twophase approach to moving in.”

Phase 1 will happen in September 2017: Marmora Senior Public School will remain grades 4 to 8. Students who normally go to Marmora Senior will go there in September, as usual. Earl Prentice will remain JK to Grade 3. Students who normally go to Earl Prentice will go there in September, as usual.

In March 2018, Phase 2 gets underway. It is anticipated that Earl Prentice students will move to the renovated Marmora school that month.

“We are committed to ensuring that the renovated school is completed and fully ready to welcome all students,” said Pfeiffer.

Renovations to the main office and mechanical systems will be completed over the summer to be ready for September. The addition and other renovations will be completed for March 2018.

Suspicious male with a goatee in Weslemkoon Lake area

BY SUE DICKENS

Help keep your community clean.

Please recycle this newspaper.

Tudor Township — A suspicious male appeared at a residence located on Weslemkoon Lake Road, presenting himself at the door as a worker for the "City of Gilmour" there to inspect the water meter.

New hospice care centre to be built in Northumberland

BY DOMINIK WISNIEWSKI

Northumberland – A new hospice is coming to Northumberland County that, once open, will improve access to high-quality end-of-life and palliative care for up to 35 patients and their families each year.

Dr. Eric Hoskins, the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care, was in Cobourg Thursday May 25 to announce that the province will support the new Community Care Northumberland (CCN) Hospice Care Centre.

Trish Baird, executive director of Community Care Northumberland, said the CCN does not have a location for the residential hospice facility secured yet, but it will be located somewhere in West Northumberland.

Baird also said she hopes someone may come forward with other options, even a donation of land.

“Hospices in Ontario do an excellent job of providing high quality and compassionate care in our communities,”

Hoskins said, adding that the province will provide the local centre with $315,000 in annual operating funds once a site is found and construction is complete. “This new funding will support the critical role that Community Care Northumberland already plays in this community, and is an important part of our government’s commitment to expand hospice palliative care across the province so that even more people can benefit from their supports.”

He was joined by NorthumberlandQuinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi, who said CCN is continuing its long history of compassionate support for members of the community who are most in need.

“Our government has made hospice care a priority so that our families and our neighbours know they can get the care required at a time when they are most vulnerable,” he said.

The new facility — which is expected to open in March 2019 — will

ensure that high-quality and compassionate end-of-life and palliative care is available to meet the growing need for residential hospice care in the region.

The centre will provide patients, caregivers and families with seamless access to information, support, referral options and relevant programs.

For Trish Baird, the executive director of CCN, the funding announcement is an integral piece in the development of the organization’s Hospice Services program.

“We look forward to working with the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care, Central East LHIN, our local partners and the community to broaden hospice palliative care resources focusing on quality, respect, choice and dignity for clients with life limiting illnesses and their families,” she said.

In an interview with reporters, Hoskins said the project is very important, particularly in a part of the province where there isn’t a lot of hospice

beds.

“The announcement that we’re making today is that, despite the fact those hospice beds are probably a couple of years away, we’re committed to providing operating funding for those beds from the moment they are created,” he added. “We wanted to come out right at the very beginning of that fundraising campaign and say, ‘We’re here with you, we will support you all along the way, and we will fund those hospice beds.’”

CCN has 140 trained volunteers as part of its visiting hospice volunteer service, which last year provided 3,750 hours of service to 250 clients.

According to a recent study of the Northumberland Hills Hospital catchment area, the need for inpatient palliative care is expected to grow by 75 per cent over the next 25 years.

As part of the 2016 Budget, the province announced an additional investment of $75 million in hospice and

palliative care over three years.

According to the ministry, their support for the new hospice in Northumberland is part of a commitment to support up to 20 additional hospices.

“Hospice is so important to our communities, and I think the evidence of that is the overwhelming community support there is any time a community thinks about or plans hospice events,” Hoskins said.

The minister said the local project is also timely when it comes to capital funding, since the latest budget outlined plans to support the construction of new hospices.

“We’re going to be working with Community Care Northumberland, the local LHIN and the local community, to see how we can support them on capital costs,” he said, adding “This is a huge boost not only to the fundraising campaign, but it takes us a major step forward to realizing hospice beds here in West Northumberland.”

Northumberland high schools dedicate day to student inclusion

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Northumberland County — The right to be included will be the focus of a special day the county's five high schools have planned for June 8.

“Feeling connected, involved and accepted in your community, whether it is a school, town or city, has great health benefits for everyone,” said Kristina Nairn, a social determinants of health nurse with the Haliburton, Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit, in a news release. “Local students realize that exclusion and isolation aren’t healthy, and are addressing this on All Inclusive Day by planning activities that show how easy it is to create a positive, caring community which benefits everyone.”

Trent Hills councillor elected president of municipal water association

The event, a first for the area, is being organized by social justice groups at each school, based on what their members learned at a workshop held last fall at Campbellford District High School that looked at ways to address the negative impact isolation and exclusion has on students.

“We hope it's a first annual,” Nairn said in an interview.

Each of the schools will put its own spin on activities that highlight the im-

portance of students connecting but common to all will be social justice group members leading by example in performing simple acts of kindness, such as holding open doors and saying "good morning" when people walk in, said Nairn, who works with the groups.

“A simple gesture can go a long way,” she said. “When you're excluded or considered outside a social community, it can actually impact your health in a number of ways (with) stress certainly

being a big component of that, and that can have long-term health impacts,” such as causing chronic diseases, she said.

Nairn said “students are excluded for a whole host of reasons” that in the perception of those doing the excluding put them “outside the norm”.

They need to be “more open and less judgmental,” and not stigmatize those they perceive as being different.

At Campbellford, freezies will be giv-

en out and there will be an all-inclusive picnic as well as games played during an extended lunch break. Students are also being asked to wear the school colour, red, that day for a special group photo.

CDHS does provide “a warm, welcoming environment at school but everybody has days where they might not feel they're appreciated,” Wood added.

All Inclusive Day will be a “fun experience where everybody feels a part of something.”

Trent Hills — The Ontario Municipal Water Association's (OMWA) first president is a lifelong advocate of safe drinking water who started her career in public service as an appointee to the Campbellford-Seymour Public Utilities Commission in 1997.

Trent Hills Councillor Rosemary Kelleher-MacLennan joined the OMWA board the next year, served as its chair in 2005 and was elected vice-president in 2016.

She moved up to the top rung at the association's annual general meeting in May. “It's quite an honour,” said Kelleher-MacLennan. “I'm really pumped up about it. I'm very proud to have been asked to do this again. I feel like a recycled teenager.”

The work she did when she led the organization in 2005 “has become so much more” that the OMWA decided to divide the responsibilities between the chair and the new position of president.

“I will be the face of the organization and bring the board up-to-date on developing issues (and what's) happening around the province (and) country,” as regards drinking water, she said.

The OMWA works collaboratively with municipal and industry partners, and especially with the provincial government, to address issues of policy, programs, and financial sustainability to ensure Ontario has the safest public water supplies in the world.

As OMWA president KelleherMacLennan said, she will “have a little bit more of a presence ... to speak on behalf of small rural municipalities and the challenges we have.”

Stoco Lake plan wins raves from mayor; final meeting set for June 3

BY LYNN MARRIOTT

Tweed – A blueprint for maintaining the current and future health of Stoco Lake is in its final stages.

A two-year collaboration between the Friends of Stoco Lake, the Municipality of Tweed and Quinte Conservation has produced an 88-page Stoco Lake Stewardship Plan available at the Friends of Stoco Lake website http:// friendsofstocolake.ca/.

The third and final community workshop to discuss and finalize the report will convene at the Tweed Library on Saturday, June 3 at 10 a.m.

“Thank you to all the volunteers.

This is an excellent report … this is the best report I have ever read," said Tweed Mayor Jo-Anne Albert at council May 23. "It is interesting, with all the history, and the recommendations are concise."

The report is the end product of

three meetings and an online survey taking into account the ideas and opinions of 150 participants. It includes recommendations for water quality, water levels, natural environment, social and recreation activities and future development.

“A 2016 lake study by Quinte Conservation determined a richness of native fish species, with 17 species identified,” states the report.

Water quality is paramount.

The reports highlight the need for continued funding for studies and activities including a lake bottom/benthic study. Due to historic mining activities, any lake bottom disturbance is discouraged in order to not stir up sediment containing harmful byproducts of the mining activities that took place there. The report recommends heavy metal studies should be repeated every five years.

It also suggests each waterfront septic system be inspected, pumped every three to five years and repairs completed. Any new system should be located a minimum of 30 metres from the lake.

Homeowners can reduce runoff and erosion by refraining from creating excessive paved areas, installing concrete ramps and maintaining manicured lawns. Eaves and sump pumps should not empty into sanitary systems to reduce overflowing of the lagoons. Tweed has long needed a third treatment lagoon, the report notes.

Agricultural landowners should establish a buffer/riparian zone between agricultural land and watercourses.

There are programs and funding for farmers.

The report discusses a bylaw to create a 30-metre buffer of natural vegetation for any development or redevelopment on waterfront lands. A possible greater setback for buildings would encourage more lake-friendly landscaping and natural buffering.

Some interesting suggestions include a ‘code of conduct’ on boating courtesy and safety, legal regulations and safe swimming practices. ‘No wake/speed limit’ signs for environmentally sensitive areas and waterfront dark night lighting, including light deflectors on local cellphone towers, are discussed.

The Friends’ directors includes: Vicki McCulloch – chair; Kathie Rouse – secretary; Bonnie Jones – treasurer; Larry Jones – lake Steward and Ruth James Morrow – directorat-large. Friends aim to maintain “a healthy and sustainable lake, boasting a wealth of recreational opportunities, rich species diversity, and an active community of passionate lake stewards.”

Tweed 2017 budget sees taxes up 3%, water rates by 5%

BY LYNN MARRIOTT

Tweed – Taxpayers can expect a three per cent increase in municipal taxes, council here has decided.

Tweed Treasurer/CEO, Betty Gallagher, presented council with a fact sheet of budget highlights. Residents can pick up copies of the 2017 budget at the Metcalf Street office.

On May 23, Tweed Municipal Council voted to pass its 2017 budget.

“It is a fair budget. We have done as much as we can without impacting our residents,” said Mayor Jo-Anne Albert.

Tweed property tax levies will rise three per cent. For each $100,000 in assessment, additional municipal taxes will be $20.26. Increasing by five per cent are water and sewage charges, or an average household cost of $34.84 more per year. Resident fees for streetlights and curbside collection will remain unchanged.

Now officially implemented, arena ice-rental rates will increase by $2 per hour and the summer rental rate will increase by $50 to $350. A new $26 fee exists to rent the soccer field and $56 for soccer tournaments. ‘Outside the municipality’ students will pay $2 to use the splash pad.

The total budget includes; $7,168,602 in revenues, $6,537,482 in operating expenses, $1,332,720 in capital costs. Council will transfer $701,600 from reserves to balance the budget. The anticipated reserves at the end of 2017 will be $3,004,494.

Several retrofits are budgeted. The administration building rooftop will 16 Central Hastings Trent Hills News - Thursday, June 1, 2017

receive new gas-fired air conditioning and all ducts will be insulated. The lobby ceiling will be re-tiled.

A digital speed sign will appear at the south of Victoria Street/Highway 37. The Fire Department will purchase a washer and dryer that decontaminates fire gear after each fire. The fire hall furnace and water heater will be converted to gas.

Parts of both the French Settlement Road and Victoria Street North will be re-surfaced. The Tweed Memorial Park boat launch will be stabilized, the ramp extended and channel markers installed. A Canada 150 community infrastructure grant will cover half the costs.

There will be new fencing between the fairgrounds and pool and splash pad to stop vehicles from crossing the area. There will be a new batting cage and netting along ball fields.

The River Street pumping station pump and generator will be replaced, with the Ontario Clean Water and Wastewater fund paying 75 per cent of costs. The township will purchase water meters and the land needed for a third sewage lagoon.

The arena will get a gas water heater, roof repairs, surveillance cameras and a structural inspection. An energy retrofit including LED lights, and a high efficiency compressor are expected to cut hydro costs by 45 per cent. The Canada 150 grant of $118,500 will cover half the arena updates. Council and the Tweed Horticultural Society will split costs to pave the walkways at Moira Memorial Park. Tweed Memorial Park will get replacement trees.

Timbertrails gallops for Hospice Norwood

BY BILL FREEMAN

Trent River – Hospice Norwood has received a galloping assist from the Timbertrails Western Riders.

The local riding club at Trent River Stables southeast of Norwood held a special holiday weekend all-ages gymkhana meet May 22 to help raise funds for the campaign to develop a two-bed hospice in the village.

Entry fee proceeds, along with money raised through a silent auction and baked good table, were given to Hospice Norwood. In all, they raised $2,385.

“They’re very generous,” said Hospice Norwood executive Rose Millett. “It’s a great fundraiser and we’re very thankful the club is doing this for us.”

Hospice Norwood is still waiting for its charitable registration number but has been able to do smaller fundraisers which don’t require tax receipts. Recent endeavours have included a concert trip to Port Hope and a show featuring magician-comedian Robert Maxwell, which also included a major raffle draw.

The Norwood IODE is holding a Hike for Hospice June 20 and the Highway 7 Cruisers classic car club will hold the first of three Hot Rods for Hospice events on June 26.

“We’re getting closer,” Millett said of the charitable registration.

Millett said the executive and community supporters have been patient and understanding through a long process.

“We do as much as we can behind the scenes with these little fundraisers, everything all adds up.”

Once they receive their registration number Millett says they “can really get moving on it.”

That would include launching a major capital campaign and beginning work on the house they plan to convert into a hospice.

“We’re still looking at the summer of 2018 (for opening),” said Millett.

“It’s not only the money, what’s most important is getting the word out there and raising the hospice profile,” added Timbertrails president Steve Mulligan.

The club is pleased to be able to help out, said Mulligan.

Timbertrails has just over 100 members from around the region, including Marmora, Peterborough, Bewdley, Campbellford and Toronto.

“This club is amazing. We keep membership fees really low and do that through sponsors,” he said.

All ages and all levels of riders are part of the club, said Mulligan, a Toronto resident who cottages in the area. “Everyone’s welcome. We have a very strong community here.”

Flames, Knights will have athletes at OFSAA track finals

BY BILL FREEMAN

Ottawa – The Campbellford District High School (CDHS) Flames and the Norwood District High School (NDHS) Knights will have athletes at this year’s OFSAA track and field championships in Belleville.

Danielle Herfst and Jorja Watson will represent CDHS after returning with second and third place ribbons from the eastern regional finals in Ottawa, while Austin Murray of the NDHS Knights will wear the blue and gold after finishing second in the midget javelin.

Danielle placed second in the senior shot put with a throw of 10.63 metres. The winner, Braiden Nicholls from Perth, topped the field with an 11.27 metre throw.

Jorja earned a third place ribbon in the midget discus with a throw of 27.92 metres, while Raphaela Toussaint of Frontenac Secondary School (FSS) in Kingston earned top spot with a throw of 31.01 metres.

Austin nailed a personal best throw of 42.25 metres on his fifth throw to briefly hold the lead, but fell to second behind Mason King of Perth, who led the field with a 43.15 metre throw.

Both schools were well-represented in Ottawa, where the top four in each event qualified for OFSAA. The regionals brought together the best track and field athletes from the Ottawa, Kingston, Brockville and COSSA regions.

It was a tough meet, with athletes facing off against the weather as much as each other.

Tales and Trails, a guided historic tour, celebrates Canada 150 “We proudly remember the days gone before, Our families, our childhood and so very much more.

We roamed the wide meadows and fished in the streams, Madoc, Town and Township, encompassed our dreams.”

- Marion Moriarity, author

BY SUE DICKENS

Madoc/Madoc Township – Tales and Trails, a nostalgic journey through Madoc, Madoc Township, celebrates Canada 150 on Sat., July 1. The 20-page booklet, which features 55 old photos, was put together and written by Grant Ketcheson, whose family has lived there for generations and who at the young age of 77, said, “I don’t know how to act my age so I still keep wanting to do things.”

He will provide the narrative on the bus tour and offered this newspaper a sneak preview of the booklet and photographs.

“It was Fred Bendell, a very active volunteer at O’Hara Mill Homestead who came up with the idea of a tour,” commented Ketcheson, a volunteer and more with O’Hara Mill.

“My great great grandfather came here sometime just prior to 1840 on the road I now live on,” he told the Central Hastings News.

“None of our family ever made enough money to get outta here so we stayed,” he added grinning. “His great great grandfather’s brother preceded him by a few years and was the first reeve of Madoc Township – John R. Ketcheson. . . his daughter married an O’Hara.”

Ketcheson admits “I have an obsession with history.”

His father, mother, grandfather and great grandfather all attended the one room Madoc Township School subject to an accommodation review this year. He too was a student at the school.

Ketcheson, who has a dairy farm, said “there are five generations

Grant Ketcheson, shown with his wife Gayle, says he is “obsessed with history,” and has put together a 20-page 55 photo booket for Tales and Trails, a journey through Madoc, Madoc Township to Canada 150. Photo submitted of us here.” He chose to stay and he and his wife Gayle celebrate their 55th wedding anniversary in August.

The booklet was published by the O’Hara Volunteers Association with the assistance of an Ontario Canada 150 grant.

The guided historic tour called “Tales and Trails North of Seven” takes people back in time.

“When presented with the idea of tales and trails, well, I can tell all kinds of tales because my grandfather who helped his father and

Stirling full of “Shenanigans” during annual music festival

BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling – It was a grand weekend for shenanigans to take place in Stirling and for three hours on Saturday, May 27, the streets were filled with music.

Front Porch Shenanigans included a dance on the Friday and gospel music at St. Paul’s Church on the Sunday, while Saturday was the big day, with nearly 30 different locations featuring bands playing everything from country to folk to rock ‘n roll. One band came from Port Hope with a bus full of friends to enjoy the afternoon. Performers ranged from senior citizens all the way down to 6-year-old Bennett Saylor of Belleville, who performed with the blue guitar he won in a talent competition in Napanee two years ago when he was just 4. Bennett first picked up a guitar at 18 months old, and has never looked back.

“The tunes were great and the crowd was unbelievable,” organizer Dave Bush posted on his Facebook page. “We don’t have an official count yet, but easily doubled last year’s crowd (with) lots of people from out of town as well. A big shout out to all

the musician for performing.”

He added that he received many great comments about the quality of the acts.

“As a performer, it feels so great to see people out front dancing with their kids, and everyone having a fun time,” he said.

He thanked the host sites, which included individual home owners and local businesses, for providing front porches and other spaces for bands to play, the singers and musicians who came out for the afternoon and the many sponsors who made it all possible.

Playing the guitar he won at the 2015 Napanee Country Jamboree, Belleville resident Bennett Saylor, 6, was the youngest musician performing at Front Porch Shenanigans. Terry McNamee/Metroland

grandfather clear the last field on his farm told me lots of things,” said Ketcheson. “My grandfather told me of people running with packs on their back to stake claims in Eldorado during the gold rush.”

He talked about the bus trip. “The 60 km drive will involve oral history of the hamlets and history of Madoc Township, including Ontario`s first gold rush. In 1867, Confederation year, Madoc was part of Madoc Township,” Ketcheson said. “This unique tour has never been attempted before so I'm a bit high on it being a success,” he added with a huge grin.

There is a “comfort stop” at Queensborough Community Centre, one of the schools that closed forcing students to go to Madoc Township. “Queensborough is one of the most picturesque little places. There was a mill built there.

It was an Ojibway encampment. The flourmill was sold to Daniel Thomson (about 1850) who renamed the settlement Queensborough after the first town he left in Ireland before he came to North America.”

The bus departs from Trinity United Church at noon and returns at 4 p.m. O’Hara Mill Homestead is the last place visited on the trip. A light lunch is provided. Tickets cost $15 and are available at Hidden Goldmine Bakery and Home Hardware in Madoc.

Hastings — Lennox and Addington — 10 new projects in Hastings — Lennox and Addington have been approved under the federal government’s Clean Water and Waste Water Fund.

The announcement was made in a press release May 24, by Mike Bossio, MP for Hastings — Lennox and Addington in Napanee.

The government is providing up to 50 per cent of funding for these projects ($796,849): $67,158 in Marmora and Lake; $447,983 in Napanee; $131,708 in Bancroft.

The provincial government is providing $398,426, and the municipalities will provide the balance of funding.

“Ensuring that rural communities have the tools they need to thrive is one of my top priorities, so I am very happy that the federal government is making such historic investments in Napanee, Bancroft, and across our riding,” said MP Mike Bossio.

“The $796,426 of federal funding that I announced today for 10 water and wastewater infrastructure projects are essential for building long term, sustainable rural communities right here in Hastings — Lennox and Addington.”

Marmora and Lake, Stone Mills, StirlingRawdon, and Tweed will see stormwater and wastewater upgrades, as well as feasibility studies for other water systems.

In Bancroft, wastewater collection systems will be rehabilitated, and a feasibility study will be conducted for wastewater systems. Residents of Napanee will see upgrades to their Wastewater Pollution Control Plant.

“These projects are essential to keeping our waterways clean and our communities healthy and livable.”

Deputy Mayor of Marmora and Lake Linda Bracken, said, “The project will rehabilitate two existing older sanitary and sewer collec-

tion assets. The fund provides an opportunity to advance some of our infrastructure requirements, since one has not been updated since 1974. Thank you for the contributions of the federal and provincial governments. Without our partnerships, we would go nowhere. We need to work together.”

Deputy Mayor of the Town of Bancroft Paul Jenkins said, “The Town of Bancroft would like to express our gratitude to the federal government and our MP Mike Bossio for the announced CWWF funding. Repairs to our wastewater infrastructure is in critical need. This financial support will allow the town to take the first step in addressing our major infiltration issue in order to make the system more efficient and affordable for our citizens.”

It was a short but eclectic agenda for Hastings County Council, partly to accommodate a two-day session of hosting a meeting of the Eastern Ontario Warden’s Caucus, of which Hastings has been one of its most active members.

At Thursday morning’s meeting, CAO Jim Pine commented the caucus meeting was “today and tomorrow.”

Council also viewed a video promotion of a new Canadian musical by the now widely known Tweed Theatre company to make its world premiere at the Tweed Pavilion as a sesquicentennial project June 28 through July 7.

Artistic director of the company, Tim Porter, a Tweed native, introduced the actors in the video who each contributed their own comments, and said the show, “Hastings, the Musical,” summarizes many of the legends of people and events over the county’s history, set to toe-tapping music and with a generous splash of irreverence and comedy.

The video also reviewed the outstanding success of the small townbased company with shows in Toronto and across Canada, starting with their first big musical, “Tweed – the Musical” back in 2009,followed by one called “Alex Bell,” about the iconic inventor of the telephone.

Tweed seems to be the hub for summer events this year as Mayor Jo-Anne Albert also promoted the “Farm to Table” community dinner there on Saturday, July 22 at 4 p.m. featuring many professionally prepared dishes of local produce, tickets just $5, children under five, free.

The outdoor meal will be served on Tweed’s Metcalf Street, which will be closed to traffic to accommodate the event.

Reviewed again from a recent meeting of the Community and Human Services Committee was a video outlining the problems of homelessness and promoting full support for a new provincial program called “Home for Good” targeted to address supportive housing to resolve homelessness among chronic cases, youth, indigenous and those released from provincially –funded institutions.

“Your committee believes this program is timely and has authorized staff to submit a proposal in partnership with the SE LHIN and other support agencies,” was the recommendation included in the report, which was adopted.

CAO Pine also commended newspaper reporter Luke Hendry for his commitment on publicizing the homelessness issue and also thanked all media members for their support of county activities.

CHEO is the go-to place for sick kids in Eastern Ontario

BY TIFFANY LEPACK Metroland Media

John Lepack loves superheroes.

It doesn’t matter if it is SpiderMan or Batman, his imagination runs wild with their adventures.

The thing my son doesn’t know, is he is already a superhero in my eyes.

Shortly after John was born June 11, 2013, staff at Almonte General Hospital noticed something not right.

They were able to quickly recognize he needed to be rushed to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO).

Kevin Keohane, president and chief executive officer of the CHEO Foundation, calls this a very typical story of CHEO working with rural hospitals outside of Ottawa, who he calls very important partners in care.

“We have some tremendous community hospitals throughout the area that CHEO also serves.

For the vast majority of families the first place that you go when your child needs care is to your community hospital. And we strongly encourage supporting the hospitals in your own areas,” said Keohane. “But at the same time, CHEO plays an important role with those community hospi-

tals. When I think about CHEO it is a regional hospital.”

As a new mom from Arnprior, who just experienced a 24-hour labour in Almonte, it was a difficult moment to be told John needed the care from CHEO. But we were not alone.

CHEO truly is a regional hospital, and in 2016 there were, for instance, 351 total visits to CHEO from patients from the Belleville area, 168 of those emergency care visits.

“I think the important thing is there are other types of health care needs that kids from Belleville had and could be well

served at within their own community,” said Keohane. “But when they have the most serious cases and ones requiring paediatric speciality they would come to CHEO and that’s a good balance.

“You want kids to be served closer to home as often as possible and when they have to travel to CHEO we want them to feel as at home as we can possibly make them and make their stay here as good as possible and get them back home and in their own communities as quickly as possible.”

CHEO not only serves patients from Eastern Ontario; but their catchment stretches all the way to Northern Ontario and Nunavut.

Last year 52 per cent of patient visits to CHEO came from Ottawa and 33 per cent from other towns and cities in Eastern Ontario and Northern Ontario totalling 107,000 patient visits.

“That means there is an awful lot of children and families living outside the Ottawa area who are needing the services of CHEO, and it is a privilege for CHEO to be able to provide these services,” said Keohane.

John was transferred from Almonte to CHEO via a neonatal transport unit.

When the CHEO team arrived to take John they explained ev-

erything about the unit and how they were going to transfer him.

Although at the time I was scared that my newborn was leaving my side, I was reassured that he was safe.

Over 500 times last year the neonatal transport unit went to communities outside of Ottawa to bring babies to CHEO. When John arrived at CHEO he was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. He was showing signs of meningitis and had to have a spinal tap to test the fluid.

To say my husband and I were scared is an understatement.

However, from the moment we walked in to CHEO until the moment we left, I knew he was in the best possible hands.

The team who worked on him always explained how they were examining him and what the next steps were.

Thankfully, after a week at CHEO, he was discharged, having battled back from an infection.

The equipment used to transfer, test and care for John while he was at CHEO was made possible due to community support.

The provincial government provides money to CHEO for the staff to operate the equipment,

but not the machines.

One of the biggest boosts to CHEO is its annual telethon, which is set this year for June 10 and 11 on CTV Ottawa.

In 2016, the telethon celebrated more than $8 million raised throughout the year.

“Every donation big and small goes toward helping CHEO deliver on its mission. And that really is to make sure kids and families get the best care they can receive,” said Keohane.

As for John and the rest of the children who receive care at CHEO, Keohane agrees they are superheroes.

There are more superheroes to add to the list as well.

“The kids are definitely heroes, but the donors are heroes too,” said Keohane.

“We could run a telethon and we can tell everyone the work CHEO is doing, and it all doesn’t matter unless people respond. So when you respond you are being a hero for kids, a hero for CHEO, and you are helping us to provide the care at a different level than we wouldn’t be able to without your help.”

The Good Earth How about showing your horticulturalists respect?

By Dan Clost There comes a time at the start of every gardening season when we all run smack dab into the wall.

There’s no doubt that we (horticultural workers) are as excited as you (horticultural, um, doers) about the new season. So it seems odd that, just as the time of doing arrives, we’re feeling done in. I can tell you that

myself and many of my coworkers- especially those of us with knees that can predict rain two days ahead of time- are more than a titch tired. This year it seems to be more onerous as the constant rain has slowed everyone down. It’s been tough getting hothouse plants to grow especially with all the cloud cover blocking the sunlight. It’s been tough getting the beds prepared because they’re either too soupy or they are a consistency akin to gumbo.

It’s been difficult on home gardeners for many of the same reasons, too.

You’re a bit behind in everything including mowing the lawns. (“Wet blades” are a myth, GR.) Unfortunately, some mowing just has to happen and that’s when you hear an engine turning at higher rpm’s but see the mower plodding along at a slower ground speed.

The culmination of all of this is that there are some

tired and stressed out folks cluttering up both sides of the counters at the nurseries and tempers are fraying. One might wish to look upon these counter encounters as opportunities for grace but not all of us (and especially not this one) have saintly temperaments.

I certainly understand the frustrations; in fact, I share them. I’d love to bring home a load of soil for top-dressing and topping up beds.

This past week (at the time of writing) the topsoil was so waterlogged that four cubic yards was almost enough to surpass the Ministry of Transport weight limits on our 1-ton delivery truck.

The ground at the delivery sites, your homes, is so saturated that tires easily break through the turf. Either the truck gets stuck or there are great ruts left behind when the vehicle pulls away.

I know of three delivery trucks and one tractor that bogged down on Wednesday

and Thursday alone. In fact, on that Thursday, one of the area’s largest bulk product supply yards closed due to the rain. We’re fortunate that we sell other things, e.g. plants, and we have a roof over them, so we were able to stay open. Hopefully we sold enough petunias to cover the hydro bill.

Now, Gentle Reader, we get to the core of this column. It was prompted by an unpleasant telephone conversation, actually a loud diatribe, directed at the young person who answered the phone. This telephone conversation was ostensibly about soil

and the requirement that a deferred delivery be made immediately. We did deliver it as requested because, after the appropriate caveats have been expressed, it is the customers’ ultimate decision that is respected.

Within ten minutes of the call, our truck was loaded and on the road.

I used the word “ostensibly” because of the tone used by the callers (a two-phone, two-person tag-team effort.)

It is fine to be adamant and upset when things go awry.

It is not fine to cross over the line of decent manners and disrespect a person, especially to one who is pow-

erless to respond. Would the conversation have taken a different tone if a manager had picked up the receiver?

I suspect so. There are very few things over which we have control and our interactions with others is one of those things. Respect is more than an expectation, it is a requirement.

So for all of us who have run into that wall, let’s pause a moment, recover our equilibrium and express ourselves with grace.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

In praise of the fix it shops New York is leading a fight to pass “Right to Repair” legislation, called the Fair Repair Act. As the world moved to the don’t fix it, replace it, the global dumps filled up ever more quickly. Arrayed against those who would repair stuff are companies such as Apple, Toyota, Verizon, Caterpillar and The Consumer Technology Association, which in today’s doublespeak represents the manufacturers. The new rules would require companies to sell replacement parts and ban “software locks” which restrict after market parts, apparently John Deer is well know

for this technique. Coming from an era of a cobbler shops and TV repair shops I still regard those still existing as rebels against the system.

Since most stuff today has too much software for many people, its not just cell phones which are affected. A recent study by a defense annalist claimed that even the F35 fighter jet could be hacked rendering the pilot helpless. The Same goes for most of the auto industry with demonstrations of vehicles being taken over by hackers, while we can upgrade defenses on a home computer/laptop, I have never heard of cars

having software defense patches installed.

Upgrades to the latest operating system are often met with dubious results, the UK nuclear submarines are still using Windows XP possibly with upgrades the general public is not aware of, and maybe not. One sub fired a Trident missile off the coast of the USA recently (presumably without its warhead) and instead of heading into the Atlantic it went west toward the mainland and had to be destroyed. Sometimes the magic works, sometimes it doesn’t.

Montreal throws itself a spectacular 375th birthday party

BY JOHN M. SMITH

A view of Bonsecours Market.

John M. Smith/Metroland

with its intricately designed interior and its magnificent stainedglass windows that depict parish history. I’d also visit the Montreal Museum of Archaeology and History (where you’ll find self-guiding, interactive tours), the Clock Tower (a memorial to the men of the Merchant Fleet who were lost during WWI) and the Bonsecours Market (which was the city’s main agricultural marketplace for over a century and now houses several boutiques). Other points of interest include the Biosphere (housed in the geodesic dome that was the American pavilion during Expo ‘67), the Casino de Montreal (housed in the former Quebec and French pavilions of Expo ‘67), Habitat ’67 (an experimental housing development built out of

prefabricated concrete slabs), the History Centre (housed in a 19th century fire station), and St. Joseph’s Oratory (one of the world’s largest basilicas). The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (the oldest art museum in Canada), the Biodome (a museum of the environment), La Ronde (the province’s largest amusement park and site of the International Fireworks Competition), and the Bell Centre (home to hockey’s Montreal

Canadiens) are also of interest.

Furthermore, I’d recommend checking out Mount Royal Park (with its spectacular view of the city and its large cross at the summit) and Olympic Stadium (where an elevator will take you to the top of the world’s tallest inclined tower for another breathtaking view of the city). You might also like to spend some time in Montreal’s beautiful BotaniFor More Information: www. cal Garden, where you’ll see the tourisme-montreal.org

A visit to our eastern neighbour, Montreal, is definitely worthwhile. After all, I’ve always found it to be a unique, fun-loving, charming, and vibrant city.

Its party atmosphere is enhanced by the many festivals hosted annually, including the Montreal Festival of Lights (Feb.), Go Bike Montreal Festival (June), Beer Festival (June), International Jazz Festival (June & July), Just for Laughs Festival (July), International Fireworks Festival (July & Aug.), and Old Montreal’s Extravaganza Festival (Dec.). Of all these, my favourites is, of course, the Go Bike Montreal Festival – and it will take place this very weekend.

Certain roads will be closed to motor vehicle traffic so that cyclists can enjoy a relatively stressfree ride through the city. Cyclists can choose from a 28 km route or a 50 km route. Many participants will dress up in colourful costumes for the event – and there will be riders of varying ages and abilities. I can remember going up in a boom truck to photograph the participants awaiting the start of the ride a few years ago - and I marvelled at the spectacular sight of about 10,000 cyclists all lined up and ready to go!

I’m so old that I can even remember visiting Montreal for “Expo ‘67”, and this year marks the 50th anniversary of that event. However, the city is also celebrating a much older event than that, too, for it’s the 375th anniversary of its actual founding (but I wasn’t there for that).

A mission named Ville Marie was built back in 1642, 375 years ago, and it became a centre for the fur trade. This area eventually became Montreal (which was incorporated as a city in 1832). Therefore, this would be an especially good year for a visit to Montreal, for there will be several special celebratory events. For example, a spectacular 30 minute light show took place on the Jacques Cartier Bridge back on May 17 – and from May 17 to Sept. 2, there will also be a unique multimedia show on the west sector of the Old Port of Montreal, with projections that pay tribute to the St. Lawrence River and the city’s history.

If you do plan a visit in the near future, be sure to include a stop in Old Montreal, with its cobblestone streets, historical landmarks, museums, and boutiques.

I’d recommend checking out Notre Dame Basilica, Montreal’s oldest Roman Catholic Church,

Montreal Insectarium (with its magnificent collection of butterflies and insects) and colourful displays of the many species and varieties of plants in its more than 30 gardens.

Any visit to this city of trendy fashions and gastronomical delights must also include time for both shopping and sampling of the delectable local cuisine – and Montreal’s remarkable underground pedestrian network, “the city below the city”, offers about 30 km. of well lit walkways linking several shopping centres, restaurants, boutiques, theatres, and hotels - and convenient access to the subway system.

If you prefer not to drive around and search for parking spots, the STM Tourist Pass is the fastest and easiest way to get around, for it offers unlimited travel by metro (the subway system) and bus (web site: www.stm. info). Several companies also offer guided bus tours of the city, including a hop-on and hop-off bus tour. There are specialty excursions available, including an architecture tour and a ghost walking tour. Boat trips of the harbour area are also plentiful.

If you intend to check out some of Montreal’s fascinating, informative museums while in the city, then save money by purchasing a Montreal Museum Pass (a 3-day pass, including public transit, is $80.00).

County to distribute federal gas tax

BY JACK EVANS

With more than $1,212,000 revenue for its share of federal gas tax, Hastings County will keep only $57,748, apportioning the rest among the 14 member municipalities based on population.

The breakdown in the bylaw passed by county council last week is as follows: Tyendinaga, population 4,150, $126,173; Deseronto, 1,835, $55,790; Stirling-Rawdon, 4,978, $151,347; Centre Hastings, 4,543, $138,121; Tweed,6,057, $184,152; Madoc Town-

ship, 2,197, $66,796; Marmora and Lake, 4,074 $123,862; Tudor and Cashel, 586, $17,816; Limerick, 352, $10,702; Wollaston, 708, $21.525; Faraday,1,468, $44,632; Bancroft, 3,880, $117,964; Carlow/Mayo, 892, $27,120; Hastings Highlands, 4,168, $126,720.

The amounts listed do not reflect the county’s equal portion of its retained amount reduced from each municipality so the actual payments fall a few thousand dollars short.

Council also passed bylaws to establish tax ratios for the current year and actual levy apportionments.

Tick talk from local health professionals

BY SUE DICKENS

Northumberland/Peterborough counties — An established population of blacklegged ticks in the Brighton area and Havelock is having an impact on how the local health professionals are dealing with the danger they pose.

The talk among health professionals these days is about the dangerous Lyme disease bacteria which ticks can carry.

Media releases are coming from all directions, the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District (HKPR) Health Unit, the Peterborough CountyCity Health department, and Dr. Rosana Salvaterra, medical officer of health for Peterborough Public Health to name a few.

May is designated as Lyme disease awareness month and so the press releases are coming fast and curious to warn and educate people.

As mentioned the ticks have shown up are in Havelock and Brighton and those are only the reported findings.

The Peterborough County-City Health is asking local residents to be aware of Lyme disease and how to prevent it.

While not all blacklegged ticks carry Lyme disease, populations of infected blacklegged ticks are spreading due to climate change.

“Locally we are closely monitoring for evidence of infected ticks in our area, so we encourage residents to check for ticks on their bodies and bring them to the third floor of the Health Unit for identification,” explained Atul Jain, manager of environmental health programs.

Dr. Salvaterra of Peterborough Public Health stated that about 400 Ontarians contracted the disease in 2015, with indications that these numbers will only grow as the tick that carries the infection continues to make more parts of the province its home.

Ontario has many high-risk areas, mostly nestled along the northern shores of Lake Erie, Ontario and the St. Lawrence River. But ticks can hitch a ride on a passing migratory bird, or a deer, and show up anywhere. Checking pets for ticks after taking them for a walk is a must for owners.

Last year, Peterborough Public Health (PPH) found positive ticks in Havelock as well as inside the city of Peterborough.

“What is currently a “low risk” situation seems poised to grow into one where the risk requires more of our attention and action,” stated Dr. Salvaterra.

The HKPR District Health Unit says it time

Dr. Rosana Salvaterra, medical officer of health, Peterborough Public Health is one of many health professionals issuing warnings about the dangers of ticks She said the province has released a 10-step plan focusing on building public awareness through the provision of updated resources, toolkits and education in early August. photo submitted

for ‘tick talk’ to remind people to watch out for these blacklegged ticks (also known as deer ticks) that can carry the bacteria.

The health unit says blacklegged ticks live in forests, tall grasses and bushes, and thrive in wet environments. In Northumberland County, it is through Health Unit surveillance that the discovery was made that blacklegged ticks are now established in the Brighton area, including Presqu’ile Provincial Park.

“We know that blacklegged tick populations are known to live along the north shore of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River, so the discovery of an established tick population in the Brighton area is not a surprise,” says Richard Ovcharovich, manager of environmental health with the HKPR District Health Unit.

The discovery of an established population of blacklegged ticks in the Brighton area means a change in the tick surveillance program run by the Health Unit. Effective June 1, the Health Unit will no longer accept ticks for testing in the area east of Colborne and south of Highway 401.

People can still submit ticks from other parts of Northumberland for testing (testing is done for surveillance purposes only to determine if the ticks in this area are the type that can transmit Lyme).

s i e n u J Reasons to include more dairy in your diet A healthy diet can improve quality of life and reduce a person’s risk of developing disease or other negative health conditions. For example, a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can boost the immune system and promote cardiovascular health, lowering your risk of heart disease in the process.

While the benefits of including fruits and vegetables in your diet are widely known, the medical benefits of dairy are often overlooked. The following are a handful of ways that dairy products like low-fat milk, cottage

cheese and yogurt can make a nutritious and beneficial addition to your diet.

• Dairy packs a protein- and calcium-laden punch.

One cup of nonfat yogurt can provide as much as onethird of your daily recommended calcium intake and nearly 20 percent of your daily recommended protein intake. Though dairy products like ice cream don’t pack the same nutritious punch as yogurt, healthier fare like reduced-fat cheese and skim milk can go a long way toward meeting your daily intake of protein and calcium.

• Dairy is a great source of vitamin D. In addition to providing sufficient calcium and protein, dairy also helps men, women and children boost their vitamin D. That’s especially important in the winter months when people tend to get less exposure to the sun. Exposure to the sun is a natural way to boost your vitamin D, but the shorter days and colder weather of winter can make it hard to get sufficient vitamin D during that time of year.

Reasons to include more dairy in your diet Continued from previous page

Dairy products like low-fat milk can boost your vitamin D, which can improve your bone health and, according to recent research, might help reduce your cancer risk.

• Dairy may help lower your blood pressure. Men and women with high blood pressure might benefit from including more dairy in their diets. In a study of 5,000 adults, Spanish researchers found that those who reported consuming the most low-fat dairy products were more than

50 percent less likely to develop high blood pressure than those who consumed less low-fat dairy.Though researchers are not certain as to the reason behind low-fat dairy products’impact on blood pressure, some theorize that their calcium and protein content are likely behind the benefit.

• Dairy benefits your bones. Dairy has long been known to improve bone density. But it’s not just seniors who benefit from the bone-strengthening impact of dairy. Youngsters who consume dairy can also expect an increase in bone

mass, which can make them less susceptible to injuries like broken bones. Seniors who consume dairy to improve their bone density should know that a recent study from researchers at the Institute for Aging Research found that not all dairy products are equal when it comes to improving bone density. While milk and yogurt were linked to higher bone mineral density, dairy products like cream and ice cream contain less protein, calcium and vitamin D and more fat and sugar than yogurt and milk, and these products may actually be associated with lower bone mineral density.

Though there are many ways men and women can improve their overall health, it’s important to consider the nutritional value of dairy when making any alterations to your diet.

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 McKeownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

As reported by Zach Kay

The Centre Hasting Beef Club

Meeting number one of the Hastings County 4-H Beef Club was held on May 9, 2017 There were lots of new and returning faces at the meeting. We did our elections for President, Vice President, Secretary, and Press Reporter after we got to know everyone a little bit. When elections were complete we talked about what a good beef heifer looked like and what the number one thing to look for was.

Good structure is the number one thing to look for in a beef heifer secondly you want them to be well behaved so you can show them along with that you want your calf to have good muscle structure to them. Once everyone had an idea of what a good 4-H beef heifer looked like we went threw the yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule. The club has grown greatly from last year and we are still welcoming new members. If you are interested the next meeting for the Hastings County 4-H Beef Club is on May 24, 2017 at 6:30.

Concert for our times at The Regent Picton - He’s known by many live music fans across eastern Ontario as the king of lounge entertainers.

Spencer Evans, based in Kingston, has played extensively throughout the province, including Brockville, Picton, Belleville, Ottawa, Westport and on recordings with major artists, such as Sarah Harmer.

A few months ago, he put together a show called “Fats, Ray and Jerry Lee,” which thrilled an excited crowd at the large Brockville theatre, where the manager de-

scribed it as “ the best ever.”

Now he brings that show to the Quinte area, featuring a backup band and singers, to The Regent Theatre, Saturday, June 10 at 7:30 p.m.

Truly music known to almost everyone, it will include the classic hits of Fats Domino, Ray Charles (“Georgia,”) and the lively rhythms of rocker Jerry Lee Lewis.

Tickets are available at The Regent Box Office by email or phone (613) 476-8416.

This is a complete family fun night, say organizers.

Taylor Angus duo stars onstage at Caper’s June 3 Belleville - The first thing that grabs you is the voice.

Crisp yet emotive and utterly indifferent to gravity, it glides then soars over a deceptively simple foundation of guitar and piano alternately conjuring jazzy pop and poppy jazz with a smidge of folk that’s utterly unlike anything you’ve heard before but something you instantly want to hear again.

This is the music of Taylor Angus, the fast-emerging duo featuring namesake singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Taylor Angus and her partner, guitarist/songwriter Logan Brown and her partner.

The duo takes over the intimate Caper’s in downtown Belleville June 3 for a not-to-bemissed show, said the popular downtown resto-lounge.

Together, the pair - by their reckoning, spiritual cousins to Buckingham Nicks, but musically closer to Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass – crafts original songs so unique yet accessible

Taylor Angus and her partner, guitarist/songwriter Logan Brown play the Capers room in Belleville June 3.

that their brilliant new six-track World domination is in the EP, Sympathy For You, can be crosshairs for the Kingston/Otviewed as both an artistic state- tawa-based musicians, a point ment and a statement of intent. corroborated by their dazzling

2016 debut First Light of Dawn which electrified music fans, radio programmers and even British synth-pop star Howard Jones, who invited them on tour.

“Our hope is that this EP will do what our last record did: open doors for us as artists able to do this full-time,” Brown says.

“This is a total blessing, and to have First Light of Dawn garner real fans that weren’t our parents was amazing,” the guitarist howls.

Judging by the early success of the new EP’s saucy, guitargoosed focus track, ‘You’re Gonna Wish I Stayed,’ it looks like Taylor Angus’ desire to “shoot for the moon and land among the stars” is very much on track.

Recorded over a few intense days in winter 2017 at Hamilton’s Catherine North Studios with bassist Oscar Ansetti guesting, Sympathy For You is a snapshot of Angus and Brown’s total convergence as a duo after performing solo: she at Ottawa Bluesfest and recording a demo

with legendary producer Thom Panunzio at Interscope Studios in Los Angeles, and he winning multiple guitar and songwriting awards across Ontario.

The duo’s easy harmony is palpable in songs like ‘Cry Me A River’ which finds Angus’ voice draped like a shawl across Brown’s supple acoustic guitar, and in the earwormy and sprightly ‘Your Choice’ which, along with plaintive ballad ‘Lay Down,’ features Brown sharing lead vocals for the first time.

That Sympathy For You comes with 3D glasses to better enhance its cover image is further proof the couple follows their instinct no matter what. “It is an undertaking to include the glasses in the CD,” Angus laughs. “But we thought it would be cool.”

Sometimes, cool is enough… especially when you boast the inimitable sound and style of Taylor Angus.

The show gets underway at 8 p.m. for diners. Reservations are recommended at 613-968-7979.

Quinte Conservation’s electric car drives home message

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – Quinte-area drivers may soon notice a white Ford Focus with, oddly, a green-lettered Ontario licence plate on the road this summer.

It’s an electric car, owned by Quinte Conservation.

The environmental agency recently purchased the vehicle from Prinzen Ford, in Bloomfield.

General Manager Terry Murphy said the organization is trying to lead by example. By driving an electric car, in replace of a normal gas guzzler, Quinte Conservation is contributing to a better environment.

“We’re trying to run our own mandate, doing the right thing to protect the environment,” he said.

Quinte Conservation’s board approved the purchase a year and a half ago, but it took some time for the organization to find a dealership in its area that had a licence to sell electric cars.

While not able to site exact numbers, Murphy said the vehicle cost the organization about $20,000, (but that was after it received a rebate valued at $14,000 from senior government to purchase the vehicle.)

Murphy said, right now, the incentive for owning an electric car isn’t for financial reasons. A normal gas car is more practical Terry Murphy charges the electric car, with a charging station installed for most people.

However, Quinte Conservation outside the Quinte Conservation office.

the car consumes and how much it will save in the long run by not purchasing gas and not needing oil changes.

In time, he said, Quinte Conservation hopes to build a new garage at its Old Highway 2 location and power it with solar panels. If those solar panels can then power the car, the vehicle would leave no significant environmental impact.

Murphy has driven it a few times already and said “it’s quite comfortable and quiet … It’s like

driving a golf cart.”

He said the car, when fully charged, can drive about 180 kilometres. That allows it to do return trips to most areas, within Quinte Conservation’s jurisdiction, which includes the Moira, Salmon and Napanee river watershed, plus Prince Edward County.

In the past, Quinte Conservation has owned hybrid vehicles, which were run on both gas and electricity. But, this vehicle is its first fully electric car.

Kids of all ages enjoyed Quinte Symphony season finale

BY JACK EVANS

Belleville - Quinte Symphony’s final full concert for the current season Sunday afternoon at Belleville’s St Theresa School great hall drew a small but happy audience as children got a chance to try their hand at conducting and playing different instruments.

Even some of the adults tried their hand at the instruments in a program, which featured local actor Rick Zimmerman narrating the famous “Tubby the Tuba” educational piece for orchestra, which focuses on the tuba, but also highlights every different instrument and section.

The venue was the first time the orchestra has performed in this hall and the sound while described by players on the stage as “wooden,” was spectacularly great for those in the audience, with every solo bit soaring out into the hall from the stage and sections booming through loud and clear.

The one-level convenience and abundant nearby parking were also noted.

Zimmerman pointed out that the opening work, Mozart’s over-

ture to his beloved opera, “The Magic Flute,” was like a fairy tale with a beautiful princess, a villain and a dashing hero.

For Saint-Saens’ rhythmic and stirring “Marche Militaire Francaise,” conductor Dan Tremblay allowed several of the children

a chance to conduct portions of it, after first giving them an impromptu lesson.

For “Tubby the Tuba,”the orchestra’s Greg Henderson was front of stage to play an instrument who only wanted a chance to play a “beautiful melody,” instead

of “oom pah.” The program concluded with music from the popular contemporary family musical, Frozen.” Then it was instrument “petting zoo” time.

Various orchestra members will still be seen and heard at community events during the sum-

mer months, starting with the Arts and Wine Festival on Saturday, June 10 from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. on the riverfront across from City Hall, and some other events.

The orchestra’s first concert for its new season is Sunday, Oct. 1, called “Orchestral Favourites.”

BTG’s new musical scary, but funny

BY JACK EVANS

In the words of Cole Porter, this Thursday brings “another opening of another show.”

“Little Shop of Horrors” brings doo-wop style music front and centre of the stage for a popular musical, which could be called scarily hilarious or hilariously scary.

Directed by Meaghan Lattanzio, making her Pinnacle Playhouse debut in that job, the show itself is a new first time production for the BTG. When a cute little plant is discovered in the “inner city,” its proud new owner soon discovers that it is a man-eating monster and must find a way to deal with it, along with keeping his terrible mistake away from the love of his life.

In her director’s remarks, Lattanzio says: “it shows the extremes one might go to for fame, fortune and love.”

Toe-tapping music comes from a pit band comprising drummer and music director Nik Buchowski, piano, Charlie Jiang, guitars Dalin Whitford and Liam Greer and bass, Quinn Guernsey, all of them first time participants at the Playhouse except Whitford.

The mostly youthful cast also includes a predominant number of newcomers to the Playhouse stage, including Skylar Pierson, Matthew Hawley as Puppeteer, Kevin Pierson, Reg. Stacey, Jonathan Wright, MacKenzie Hogle and Amanda Robertson, leaving Wendy Roy and Alyssa Ross as the only two cast members from previous BTG shows.

Show time is 8 p.m. for opening night tonight and the rest of the run, plus some Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. As usual, opening night will be followed by a reception to meet and greet the cast in the downstairs green room.
