Tears and cheers fill Yardmen as Bulls legacy comes to end

By Stephen Petrick

Sports - Belleville - The Belleville Bulls are history, but they went down with one emotional ďŹ ght. A crowd of 3,194 attended what turned out to be the last ever Bulls game on Thursday, April 2. The Barrie Colts won 4 - 2 to cap a 4 - 0 sweep of the Bulls in the Ontario Hockey League best-ofseven ďŹ rst-round playoff series. With the Bulls relocating to Hamilton next season, it was a sad, but festive, night for Belleville hockey fans. They stood and cheered wildly as the ďŹ nal buzzer sounded. Players on both teams then skated to centre ice and saluted the fans.

Adam Bignell, the team’s assistant captain, skated to centre ice, took off his jersey and left it at the centre dot.

Fans appreciated the symbolic gesture and cheered loudly as he skated back to the dressing room with his shoulder pads apping and hands raised in the air. “It came to me right at the end of the game,â€? Bignell said. “I was a little hesitant; I didn’t know if I wanted to do it. But I have no regrets, I thought it would be a nice way to ďŹ nish it off.â€?

Bignell, an overage defenceman who’s been with the Bulls since 2010,

knows more than most about what the Bulls mean to Belleville. His father, Greg Bignell, played for the Bulls in the 1980s, as did his uncle, Todd Hawkins. “My family has a decades-long connection with the Bulls,� Bignell continued. “It’s been a big part of my family. It will be a void; it was emotional. But tonight was awesome.�

The atmosphere in the Yardmen was similar to the evening of March 26, when the Bulls played their ďŹ nal regular season game to a sold-out crowd. On that night, fans cheered wildly after the game and watched a tribute video on the scoreboard that documented the team’s history.

But Thursday’s game was more emotional as fans and players knew it could be the truly last game in the franchise’s 34-year history. The Bulls put up a good ďŹ ght against the heavily favoured Colts. They entered the third period trailing 3 - 1, and a goal

by Jordan Subban brought the home team within one and got the Yardmen buzzing. But when Joseph Blandisi scored an empty-net goal with 1:05 to play in the third, fans knew it was Please see “Last ever� page 3 Belleville Bulls players salute their fans at the end of the last game in the franchise’s history.

Belleville exploring options for new Yardmen tenants says mayor

By Stephen Petrick

News - Belleville - Belleville won’t likely get another Ontario Hockey League franchise anytime soon, but different sports and entertainment groups have contacted the municipality about leasing the Yardmen Arena in the future.

That was one piece of information shared by Mayor Taso Christopher at a Belleville and District Chamber of Commerce breakfast at the Travelodge Hotel on Wednesday, April 1.

The second-floor ballroom was packed for the event to hear one of the mayor’s first public speeches to business leaders since his October election.

Christopher, as he often does, spoke mostly about the infrastructure and gave updates to how the city is proceeding with Build Belleville, the multi-faceted project that’s expected to cost the city $92 million over the next several years.

However, he also spoke briefly and

entertained questions about the loss of the OHL’s Belleville Bulls. The team was sold suddenly by owner Gord Simmonds to a Hamilton businessman last month.

With the team relocating to the steel town next season, Belleville’s economy is expected to take a hit.

When former Quinte West councillor Paul Kyte asked Christopher if the city can put a dollar figure on what the loss of the franchise means to the city, Christopher said he’d be happy to meet with chamber members to find out that number.

But he also said the city is optimistic that a new major tenant can be found to lease the Yardmen Arena, the city-owned facility which seats about 3,200.

“We’re getting phenomenal interest in our facility,” Christopher said, adding that the interest comes from “events” and “hockey” groups.

When speaking with reporters later,

Christopher declined to go into details, saying those expressions of interest are only in the early stages.

But he shared that city officials have had some discussions with OHL officials and have concluded that the OHL doesn’t plan to award an expansion franchise to Belleville, even if the Yardmen Arena is upgraded soon. If the city is to get a team back, it will have to be through relocation of another franchise.

During the part of the speech that focused on Build Belleville, Christopher pointed out some of the infrastructure projects on the list of 22 that are complete, including the North Park Gardens reconstruction, the College Street East extension and the Old Madoc Road reconstruction.

He also spoke about projects expected to begin soon. Phase 1 of the three-phase downtown revitalization is expected to begin with a “big dig” along the north

part of Front Street in May. Heavy work along Bay Bridge Road, right by the Travelodge is also expected to begin soon, and it’s badly needed Christopher said, as he described the road as “pooched.” This project is expected to cost $17.4 million.

Christopher also said work on the northeast feeder main project is just getting under way. While he acknowledged the $17.7-million project might sound, “boring,” he said it’s a crucial project as the feeder main provides water supply to a significant portion of the city.

The mayor talked about the importance of infrastructure, comparing roads and bridges of a city to the heart and veins of a person’s body. He believes Belleville has neglected maintaining its infrastructure so much that it’s at risk of getting sick.

“I’m the same guy in the doctor’s

room telling you you need to do it now, you’re neglecting your body,” he said.

The presentation got off to a humorous start. Former Mayor Neil Ellis introduced Christopher as the event was sponsored by the Bay of Quinte Federal Liberals, who will have Ellis as their representative in the next federal election.

Ellis joked about some of the criticism Christopher has received from his own council for appointing just himself and three veteran councillors to the Mayor’s Implementation Team for Build Belleville.

Ellis suggested he rename the team the “Monopoly Implementation Team” and presented Christopher a Bellevillethemed Monopoly board game.

Christopher got back at Ellis by turning a Liberal banner around as he took the podium saying, “we’re here to talk about the municipality, not the Trudeau machine.”

The torch relay starts May 30, 2015, and concludes July 10, 2015, with the dramatic lighting of the cauldron at the opening ceremony in downtown Toronto. The TORONTO 2015 Games are funded by the Government of Canada, the Province of Ontario, as well as lead partner CIBC and other partners and sponsors.

LETTERS LIFESTYLES TO THE EDITOR

Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t build a fence high enough to protect us from lawyers Dear Editor, It was encouraging to read in your newspaper that at least one Stirling councillor would like to see the Harold quarry, a traditional swimming hole just north of Stirling, remain open and perhaps be improved for the continued enjoyment of the citizens in the area.

Councillor Dean Graff stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would love to do what St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Ontario, did with their old quarry: maybe do some landscaping, maybe put in picnic tables â&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? However, based on Councillor Graffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter, it appears the Joint & Several Liabilities Laws stop such community-minded improvements in their tracks.

Reasoning given by council for considering fencing off the quarry to

exclude everyone was the potential for some accident happening resulting in the municipality being sued. An increase in insurance fees of 17 per cent was referred to, which begs the question: Would insurance premiums be decreased if council fences off the quarry? If not, then what is gained? Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t this precisely why we purchase liability insurance? Consequently, the only logic left is that council is attempting to avoid a theoretical legal action in the future.

As already pointed out previously, if this is councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motivation they should go down to the Stirling skatepark tomorrow morning and remove the extremely hazardous steel jumps bolted to that ďŹ&#x201A;at concrete surface. Lawyers will have an extremely solid case should

some kid get injured there as the hazard was created by council.

Reality is, anybody can be sued for anything. People have slipped on the ice in Stirling streets and brought an action against the municipality. It reďŹ&#x201A;ects a culture built by lawyers and insurance companies. We all know it is unrealistic to expect every bit of ice to be removed by town employees but the potential pot of insurance money is there to motivate the greedy into such legal actions.

In my 21 years as publisher of The Community Press, I never purchased slander and libel insurance. It was just too expensive. I believe it was Conrad Black who once said, you can say a lot of things about a person without libeling them. We were attacked legally

on several occasions but we never lost a case. In one incident the other two parties named had insurance coverage and their insurance companies bought off the ambulance-chasing lawyer. The insurance companies for both parties each gave him $5,000 to go away because they knew their legal costs were going to be a great deal higher than paying what amounted to extortion. I went to Discovery and when the lawyer asked to see my insurance policy I told him I did not have one. He said I had to have insurance and demanded to see my policy several times. When I ďŹ nally convinced him I had no insurance and I planned to defend myself in court and burn up as much of his time as possible he went away and I never heard from

him again.

So this is the game we are all forced to play. Unfortunately it shapes our society today in many negative ways if we let it. Taking away a free, cleanwater swimming hole from the residents of our community will solve nothing.

Considering the nature of teenagers the greater risk probably comes from injury sustained while trying to climb over the eight-foot-high fence topped with barbed wire that would be needed to deter young people on a hot summer day.

Putting what tax dollars it would cost to build a big fence into landscaping and picnic tables seems like a much more positive investment in our future.

Alan Coxwell, Stirling-Rawdon

A letter to Premier Kathleen Wynne concerning Hydro One Ms. Kathleen Wynne: When are you going to fix this mess you and your Minister of Energy Bob Chiarelli have made? How do you sleep at night knowing full well that Hydro One has driven us, the people of Ontario, into poverty? Our bills are outrageous to say the least. How can you justify Delivery Charges being more than the usage? I want to know, as well as others that are on Hydro One, the itemized charges that go under the category of Delivery Charges. Seems to us that you may be hiding something. Why I ask do

we pay for Line Loss? Seems to me and my accounting designation that Line Loss is a cost of doing business that should not be added to our bills. Now let me ask you why the HST is added to a service of necessity?

We, the people of Ontario, are totally against the selling of any Hydro One stock. Why should we pay for Toronto transit and the like when we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live there? Furthermore, you got us into this debt because of your scandalous ways with Hydro One so get yourself out of it. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pass your inept way of running

Hydro One on to us the taxpayers.

We, the people, demand: 1) Immediate removal of the HST 2) Itemize the so-called Delivery Charges, then lower those charges so we are paying the same as everyone else whether it be rural, medium density, urban or low density.

3) Remove the Debt Retirement as we, the people have more than paid your debt off. Mismanagement of monies is on your part not ours.

4) Remove the so-called smart meters from our homes. Smart meters

are not safe for our health, they emit radiation and smart meters are not CSA approved. Nor are they even calibrated before placing on our homes. Last but not least, house insurances will not cover us if our house burns down.

We, the people, demand that you do what you need to do now so we Ontarians cannot be worried how we are going to pay for your outlandish bills you send us and cause us to choose food over Hydro. People are losing their houses because of the high Hydro bills that are higher than their rent or

mortgage. You are driving businesses away and people are leaving Ontario.

Next thing we know, Ontario will be bankrupt.

So I ask you to do what is morally right and fix this mess you got us all into. What are you going to do Kathleen Wynne? Let me remind you that this Hydro One issue will be a bone of contention when the next election comes about.

Enough is enough.

Many factors impact healthy babies and children program News - Belleville - Healthy babies, healthy children is a provincially mandated program for all health units. Not only is it mandated, but its standards and requirements are also mandated province-wide. And therein lies a problem for the Hastings and Prince Edward Counties Health Unit and other ruralbased units.

Board members discussed the problem at their meeting last Wednesday and voted to try again to take political action toward solving the problem by writing letters to the ministry and area MPPs. Members were not hopeful though as several previous efforts have resulted in no action.

All those factors are related, proclaimed Dr. Richard Schabas, medical ofďŹ cer of health. He added they also impact other units with similar demographics. Thus to meet provincial standards, the local unit must pay higher costs which are not offset by additional funding.

OPINION

You’ll need a program

The Middle East: Iran is back Editorial - “This (Arab) nation, in its darkest hour, has never faced a challenge to its existence and a threat to its identity like the one it’s facing now,” said General Abdel Fattah alSisi, now the ruler of Egypt.

And you wanted to say: Not the Not the Gwynne Dyer Crusades?

Mongol invasion?

Not even the European conquest of the entire Arab world between 1830 and 1920? You really think the gravest threat ever to Arab existence and identity is a bunch of tribal warriors in Yemen?

Sisi was addressing the Arab League summit in Cairo last week that created a new pan-Arab military force to confront this threat, so overheated rhetoric was standard issue, but still …. The air forces of Saudi Arabia and its Gulf neighbours are blasting Yemen from the air, and there is talk of Saudi Arabian, Egyptian and even Pakistani troops invading on the ground, but it all smells more of panic than of strategic calculation.

The panic is due to the fact that the status quo that has prevailed in the Middle East since approximately 1980 is at an end. Iran is back, and there is great dismay in the palaces of Riyadh– especially because it was Saudi Arabia’s great friend and ally, the United States, who finally set Iran free.

It was the agreement in Lausanne last Thursday between Iran and the group of 5+1 (the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany) that marked the end of the status quo.

It was about ending the various trade embargoes against Iran in return for ten to fifteen years of strict controls on Iran’s nuclear power program, but it will also let Iran out of the jail it has been confined to since the 1979 revolution.

Initially that revolution was quite scary for Iran’s Arab neighbours, because Iran’s example in overthrowing the local pro-Western ruler and taking a stronger stand against Israel was very popular in the Arab street. The solution was to paint Iran as a crazy terrorist state and isolate it as much as possible from the rest of the region.

The other tactic the conservative Arab states deployed was to stress the religious gulf between Iran (which is 90 per cent Shia) and the Arab countries (whose people are at least 85 per cent Sunni). The doctrinal differences are real, but they do not normally make ordinary people see one another as natural enemies unless somebody (like

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

state propaganda) works hard at it.

Those measures worked for 20 years, assisted by some really stupid Iranian actions like holding U.S. embassy personnel hostage for 444 days, but by the end of the 20th century they were losing credibility. What saved the “quarantine” policy in 2002 was the discovery that Tehran had been working on nuclear weapons design.

The work was a revival of research that had been started during the U.S.-backed Iraqi invasion of Iran in 1980-1988 (when Saddam Hussein certainly was working on nuclear weapons), and was shut down afterward. It was restarted in 1998, almost certainly in response to the nuclear weapons tests by Pakistan, Iran’s eastern neighbour. It was Iran being stupid again, but it was probably never about Israel.

The alleged Iranian nuclear threat provided the basis for another decade and more of political quarantine and trade embargoes that have crippled Iran economically and isolated it politically. All that came to a sudden end last week with the agreement in principle in Lausanne (unless the Saudi Arabian and Israeli lobbies in Washington manage to torpedo the deal in the next few months).

Iran has about the same population and GDP as Egypt, the biggest Arab country by far, but it is far closer both to the Arab Gulf states and to the Sunni-Shia battlegrounds in Iraq and Syria (both of whose governments are closely linked to Tehran).

That’s what Sisi was really talking about when he spoke of an existential threat to Arab existence and identity. However, he’s still talking through his hat.

Arab existence and identity are nowhere at risk, and Iran has no need to paint the Sunni Arab countries as enemies. The Iranian regime may be losing its support among the young (or maybe not), but it has absolutely no need to inoculate them against the attraction of Arab political systems and foreign policies by promoting an Arab-Iranian confrontation. They hold no attraction whatever for young Iranians.

As for the notion that the Houthi militia that now controls most of Yemen is really an Iranian tool (which is the main justification for the military intervention there), it is nonsense. The Houthis, like the Iranians, are Shias, but they have their own local interests to protect, and Iran has no plausible reason to want some sort of strategic foothold in Yemen. It is a safe bet that there is not now even a single armed Iranian in Yemen.

If the United States could send troops into Iraq in 2003 in the delusionary belief that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, then Saudi Arabia can believe that it is fighting Iranians in Yemen now. No country has a monopoly on stupidity, and Riyadh will probably have ample opportunity to regret its mistake.

6 Belleville News - Thursday, April 9, 2015

By Terry Bush Editorial - On Friday night, we put our last stick of wood on the fire, not because the weather was balmy enough to stop heating our home but because we’d run out of wood once again. So on Saturday and Sunday we took to the woods around the house to cut the skinny, little dead elm and ash trees we had in the bank for just such an occasion.

While finishing up on Sunday and heading toward that one last tree I was going to cut before I ran out of gas, I tripped on something and down I went, chainsaw in hand. I didn’t even have to look to see what tripped me up. I knew right away it was Vladimir Putin. That friggin’ guy is responsible for everything bad that happens in the world today.

Stephen Harper and John Baird have both compared Putin to Hitler. Hillary Clinton has compared Putin to Hitler. Some of our letter writers have compared Putin to Hitler. All these Hitler references make me wonder, if Adolph Hitler never existed, whose name would they be invoking?

It does seem a little inappropriate that Hitler’s name would constantly be brought up when referring to the boss of Russia. Can there be another country on earth that has suffered more under the Nazis than Soviets did in World War II with close to 30 million dead? Stalin would make more sense as an unsavoury character reference but Putin isn’t Stalin either. Far from a saint, Vlad hasn’t killed anywhere near as many people as either of those two disgusting individuals. Actually in the past dozen years or so, I can’t think of anyone who even comes close.

But after reading a couple of recent articles, which centred on the destruction the US’s so-called War on Terror has wrought, it might be time that George W. Bush was given his due.

In an article by Dr. Gideon Polya, the author figures 2.7 million Iraqis have died from violence or warimposed deprivation since Dubya’s invasion to destroy the non-existent weapons of mass destruction. The Vancouver Sun reports that Simon Fraser University’s Tim Takaro has just co-authored a report tallying human casualties in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan since 2001. His number is approximately 1.3 million deaths as the direct and indirect result of war. That’s a lot of dead people with nary a sanction applied to those responsible. Doesn’t it seem strange that the country that has instigated so much destruction leads the way in imposing sanctions on others?

Russia is being sanctioned for events in Ukraine, which have resulted in 5,000 deaths.

According to mainstream media, Russia is completely to blame though they’ve conveniently forgotten the work of the U.S. and Victoria Nuland behind the scenes (and behind the coup that saw a corrupt but democratically elected leader flee the country).

What we do know is that Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence and others are led by so-called “ultra-

nationalists,” and most of the early fighting against the Russian-speaking regions of the country was done by “ultra-nationalist” mercenaries loyal to Ukrainian oligarchs. We in the West refuse to refer to them as Neo-Nazis, hence the ultra-nationalist moniker; ultranationalists who just happen to wear Nazi symbols and idolize Stepan Bandera, a Nazi sympathizer whose Ukrainian Waffen SS was said to be responsible for the deaths of 500,000 people in Ukraine and in Poland. At the same time, many in Ukraine regard him as a hero for fighting the Russians and ignore his anti-Semitism and quest for a pure Ukrainian race.

In the Middle East, it gets really confusing. We despise the dictator Bashar al-Assad of Syria who’s supported by Russia, but we are helping him to keep ISIL at bay while the U.S. readies rebels to overthrow him. Stephen Harper is raring to go in Syria despite the fact that bombing Syria without Assad’s invitation would be breaking international law. That of course would pretty well paint Harper and Baird as hypocrites for all of the bombast that they’ve thrown Putin’s way for the mess on Russia’s border. How many miles away is Syria from Canada?

Our friends the Saudis are bombing Yemen, once again resulting in hundreds of civilian casualties. Some believe that one’s a proxy war between the Saudis and Iran but there’s no upside for Iran to be in Yemen and they have their hands full fighting ISIL in Iraq.

The Saudis want to keep Shiite Iran down as a regional power because the Saudis have a Shiite minority in their own country, who just happen to live where the oil fields are. Bahrain is on board for exactly the same reason except it has a Shiite majority that it keeps under its thumb. Lots of influence and control at stake here.

The U.S. is backing up those bastions of democracy; countries governed by Sharia law where people are regularly beheaded and women are basically treated as children or slaves. But in the greater scheme of things, oil, weapons purchases, military bases and subservience to Washington seem to be all that matters.

And that’s why Russia, Iran, Venezuela and Syria are feeling the pain. They’re just not kow-towing to the U.S. the way they should.

Our other friends, the Israelis, are treating wounded members of ISIL and Al Qaeda in their hospitals and have forged an alliance with the Saudis against the Shiites.

So in a nutshell, Canada is backing “nationalists” in Ukraine, Harper’s BFF Israel is helping send back to the battlefield the same folks we’re fighting in Iraq and now Syria, we’re allied with the Iranians and Syrians in the fight against ISIL and we’re friends with the Sunni Arab dictators who financed ISIL in the first place but refuse to fight the monster they created.

Sometimes it might be best to just stay home and mind your own business. At least you wouldn’t need a program to keep things straight.

of Education Mandy Savery-Whiteway said this is the first year that graduation rates have been recorded in this way. She said having the data is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;positive step forward.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a public school board, Hastings Prince Edward District School Board is committed to providing outstanding educational experiences for all students in all course types,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know that when students come to our system and stay in our system, they are highly successful.â&#x20AC;?

School Board Chair Dwayne Inch added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of our organizational goals is Success for Each Student. Through the combined efforts of our employees, families and community partners, our students are well-supported to achieve success in their chosen pathway.â&#x20AC;?

This is the first time graduation rates have been calculated using a common province-wide formula, the board explained in the release. As per Ministry of Education direction, a well-planned four-year secondary school program is a priority for HPEDSB. Graduating with an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) requires students to complete 30 credits, 16 compulsory credits, 40 volunteer hours and to meet literacy requirements.

Secondary school students select courses and programs that reflect their strengths and interests beyond

high school. Some students complete secondary school with an Ontario Secondary School Certificate (OSSC) or a Certificate of Accomplishment (CA).

These graduation rates do not include students who achieve these alternative certificates, particularly students who are developing life skills and will proceed from secondary school to supported community living.

Secondary School Student Success teams also monitor the progress of each student to ensure they are on track to meet OSSD graduation requirements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When students leave school before they graduate, our employees reach out to make personal contact with each student, encouraging them to come back to school to finish outstanding graduation requirements,â&#x20AC;? added Savery-Whiteway.

Some students who have not graduated with an OSSD in a four- or five-year period may be continuing their education to meet graduation requirements, taking additional time to do so in a secondary school.

Other students who may have left school at age 18, going directly to the workforce, can complete OSSD requirements through the HPEDSB Quinte Adult Education program while they are working. The success of these students is not captured in the ministry formula for graduation rate, the board said.

New SFT Young Co. show a sweet mystery

By Richard Turtle

Entertainment - Stirling - A pair of Stirling Festival Theatre Young Company performers will be making their debut as playwrights in an upcoming show on April 25, but for now the creators will say only that the evening’s entertainment will be mysterious.

Sam Orr and Dallin Whitford have played around a lot on the Stirling theatre stage, appearing in about a dozen different plays including most recently in the cast of the Young Company’s spring production of A Tale of Knights. And with that many shows under their belts,

including working on several scripts in development, the duo has learned that the rehearsal process can involve a little downtime.

On one recent occasion, while fellow actors were working on scenes that didn’t involve them, the pair reflected on their theatre experiences over the years and arrived at the same conclusion. They could probably write a play.

“We got bored during rehearsals,” Orr says of the day he and Whitford began discussing the possibilities of a collaborative writing project.

At that point, they say, it was

nothing more than an idea, but after presenting it to theatre Managing Director David Vanderlip, they received the go-ahead to stage their own world premiere.

The end result is the upcoming Murder Mystery Dessert Theatre, We Know He’s Dead!, scheduled for April 25, at the Eugene Burrell Hall above the theatre lobby.

Orr and Whitford admit it has been a daunting task to create an entire show from scratch but with the help of several other Young Company regulars they are looking forward to the play’s opening.

Napanee Generating Station

Sam Orr (r) and Dallin Whitford sign autographs after a recent Young Company show at the Stirling Festival Theatre. The duo will make their debut as playwrights with the upcoming production of We Know He’s Dead! on April 25.

Job Fair

But they aren’t willing to divulge many other details beforehand.

Vanderlip explains that part of the Young Company philosophy is to offer a variety of opportunities to budding theatre artists through productions, theatre camps

and other activities, so when the two troupe members approached him with plans for a new show, he made the appropriate accommodations and the stage was set.

Further information about the Murder Mystery Dessert Theatre, or other Young

Company opportunities or productions including the upcoming summer show, Legally Blonde: The Musical, scheduled for August 6 to 23, is available by contacting the box office at 613-395-2100 or visiting their website at <www. stirlingfestivaltheatre.com>.

Bill C-51 opponents protest at Kramp’s office–again

By Stephen Petrick

News - Belleville - It seems dissent to Bill C-51 just won’t go away.

Protesters gathered at Daryl Kramp’s Belleville constituency office on Wednesday, April 1, to demonstrate against the proposed “anti-terrorism” bill. It was the second protest against the bill in less than three weeks at the office of the Conservative Member of Parliament.

Kramp, who represents Prince EdwardHastings, is also the chair of the federal government’s Public Safety and National Janice Brown (right) and Mieke Thorne sing a protest song outside Daryl Security committee, which is writing the bill Kramp’s constituency office. Brown was dressed as a detective to mock that’s intended to give law enforcers more Bill C-51, Canada’s “anti-terrorism” bill, which protestors feel could make power to stop people perceived as potential Canada a police state.

House of Commons later this month.

Kramp has repeatedly stressed that the bill will not trample basic civil rights, such as the freedom to protest peacefully.

But it’s clear some people still don’t believe him.

“I’m considered a terrorist because I’m here today,” said Kathy Monroe, a Picton women, who attended the rally and held a sign saying “Stop Bill C-51, Stop the Corruption.”

“This is the most corrupt government I’ve ever seen in Canada,” she added.

Betty Bannon, a Foxboro resident who said she’s in the running to be the NDP representative for Hastings-Lennox & Addington in the next federal election, also attended the protest. She said she feels the bill is worded vaguely and

doesn’t have enough oversights.

“We could all be terrorists here,” she said.

“Aboriginal protesters, they could be on the hit list.”

Bill C-51 has become a hotly debated topic in Ottawa. The official Opposition, the NDP, has said it will oppose it. The Liberals said they will support it, but are calling for some revisions.

In a March 23 interview with the Belleville News Kramp said the criticism the bill is drawing isn’t warranted, as the committee has put plenty of safeguards in place to ensure law enforcers don’t have too much power.

He said the bill is intended to stop people planning attacks that threaten national security, not small demonstrations.

Secondary school student art show opens

By Terry McNamee

News - Belleville - Visitors to the John M. Parrott Gallery in Belleville will be in for a real treat this month.

On Thursday, April 9, from 6 to 7:30 p.m., there will be an opening reception for the annual Student Art Show featuring the work of Hastings and Prince Edward District secondary school students.

“It’s our 27th annual show,” said gallery curator Susan Holland. “There are eight schools participating. Most of them are senior students, but there are

some Grade Nine pieces that are pretty exceptional.”

The art covers a wide range of media, including graphite, acrylic, printmaking, chalk pastel, pen and ink, mixed media, scratchboard and more.

Holland said the show is not juried and there are ¬no prizes, just the prestige of having work on display in the gallery.

She said the pieces on display were selected by each school’s art teacher.

“They were allowed to submit up to eight, so we ended up with 62 pieces in the exhibit,” Holland said.

The works on display are a mix of The gallery, located on the third floor of day and Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., beautiful, thought-provoking, whimsi- the Belleville Public Library on Pinnacle Thursday from 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. and cal and just plain amazing.

Street, is open every Tuesday, Wednes- Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

“This year’s work is outstanding,” Holland said.

“The quality of the work and the content are very thought-provoking.”

The show will be on display from April 9 to April 29.

Period!

News - Quinte West - A year ago, the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation embarked on a fundraising campaign to relocate the Cystoscopy Clinic at QHC Trenton Memorial Hospital (TMH) which would align urology services at TMH. The clinic was relocated in October 2014.

A grand opening event was held on April 2 to officially announce the relocation. Special guests included retired urologist Dr. Alan Campbell, John Smylie, chair of the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation, Brad Harrington, QHC vice president and chief financial officer, and patient Glenn Robb who spoke of his experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Patients from across our region who require urinary treatments/ interventions will benefit from the enhanced design and alignment of services through the relocation of the Cystoscopy Clinic from QHC Belleville General Hospital to QHC Trenton Memorial Hospital,â&#x20AC;? said Foundation director Wendy Warner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanks to the generosity of the community through the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation, $704,000 was fundraised to enhance and relocate the clinic to TMH. The clinic is now aligned with other similar ambulatory services.â&#x20AC;?

News - Belleville - Loyalist College has finalized its standalone policy and protocol on sexual assault and sexual violence and it is now publicly available at <www.loyalistcollege.com>. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essential that everyone knows their rights and responsibilities and that campus safety continues to be a priority,â&#x20AC;? said Loyalist College President and CEO Maureen Piercy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our new policy is designed to enhance campus safety through increased awareness and prevention of sexual assaults and sexual violence, and to ensure effective support is available to survivors.â&#x20AC;?

College presidents voted unanimously in November to

create a stand-alone policy and protocol that would be available at all colleges by March 31. A draft version was publicly released in January and there have been consultations throughout the province to finalize the document.

Building on existing policies and practices at the colleges, the stand-alone policy and protocol provides precise definitions of sexual assault and sexual violence, sets clear standards for reporting and responding to incidents of sexual violence, and establishes clear processes for complaints and investigations.

The policy also includes measures to ensure that people who make complaints are pro-

Patients who have been diagnosed with or present with symptoms that include blood in the urine, incontinence, a urinary tract infection, tumours located in the bladder, the presence of a bladder or kidney stone or an enlarged prostate are common candidates for cystoscopy.

Dr. Dick Zoutman, QHC Chief of Staff, said that having these services under the same roof allows patients to get the care they need more timely. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now that the Cystoscopy Clinic has relocated to Trenton Memorial Hospital, we can diagnose, treat and manage patients with urological disorders from one location.

Tim Hortons customer wins car from Belleville store News - Belleville - David Harding is sure glad he stopped at a Belleville Tim Hortons store on February 4.

snowing, so a coffee was in order.

When they got back on the road Lyla rolled up the rim of David’s drink and realized he had won a Toyota Camry.

“She rolled the rim and said, ‘You won a car.’ I didn’t believe it,” Harding said. “I was shocked.”

But it was true. On Wednesday, April 1, Harding travelled back to the location to pick

up the vehicle. It was a shiny red Toyota Camry XSE. According to the representative from the local Toyota dealership, Andy Caletti, the car is valued at more than $23,000. The XSE is a high-end version.

Harding was presented the vehicle by the owners of the Bell Boulevard franchise, Mark and Mary Hanley. They christened the car by taking it through the drive-

Celebrity organist Michael Unger to give first concert at Bridge Street Church with restored organ

Entertainment - Belleville - Internationally renowned organist Michael Unger will be pulling out all the stops at Bridge Street Church in Belleville, Saturday, night April 11, when the church’s newly renovated Casavant organ gets its first concert workout.

The 60-year-old organ is the largest pipe organ between Toronto and Montreal and has been going through extensive repairs over the past three years.

With over 4,000 pipes ranging from a couple of inches to 16 feet high, 72 stops, four manuals and pedals, and almost limitless sound combinations, it is a joy for organists to play and for audiences to hear when it is in full voice.

The tall pipes that fill the back of the chancel of the church are just the beginning, as hundreds of pipes can be found in rooms on either side of the sanctuary and at the back of the church on the main level and the balcony.

There are blowers in the basement and the belfry and miles of cables con-

necting all the parts together. Each pipe has been cleaned of 60 years of grime and dust, re-leathered, rehoused and retuned. Casavant organs made in Que-

bec are world famous for the quality of their workmanship and tonal quality. The cost of renovation has been around $200,000, and undertaken by organ specialists Alain Gagnon and Sylvain Brisson.

Funding for this extensive restoration has been made possible through private gifts, fundraising efforts including a silent auction, and a generous donation from the Parrott Foundation.

The Michael Unger performance is the first in a concert series planned to celebrate the 200th anniversary year of the Bridge Street congregation. Other concerts in the anniversary series will include Toronto’s Metropolitan Silver Band, on May 30, organist

Janette Fishell, October 3, and Mendelssohn’s Elijah oratorio with guest soloists, a community choir and William Maddox, organist on November 7, 2015.

Information and tickets (either individually or for the whole series) are available online at <www. bridgestreetchurch.com>, at the church office at 60 Bridge Street East or at the door before the concert.

Michael Unger is a Canadian-born musician, who has been recorded under the Naxos label, teaches organ and harpsichord at Cincinnati University, and completed his Doctorate at the Eastman School of Music. The concert starts at 7 p.m. Admission $25.

Harding said he was thrilled to win the vehicle as, until Monday, he had never owned a brand new car.

He also couldn’t believe his luck; winning the car at a Tim Hortons he entered in a visiting city on a random whim.

Despite sweep, Bulls put up strong effort versus Colts

By Stephen Petrick

Sports - Belleville - This might be tough for Belleville Bulls fans to hear, but the Hamilton Bulldogs may not be too bad next year.

Lost in the emotion of the final game at the Yardmen Arena last week was that the Bulls put up a strong effort against the heavily favoured Barrie Colts in their Ontario Hockey League first-round playoff series.

Although the series goes down as a four-games-to-none sweep for the Colts, the Bulls actually outshot the Colts in three of the four games; and outshot them significantly in the two games in Belleville.

The difference was the Colts’ ability to finish offensive spurts with goals, something the Bulls struggled with for much of the year, especially after trading lead scorer Remi Elie mid-season.

As expected, the Colts leading regular-season scorer, Joseph Blandisi, had a great series, scoring four goals and five assists.

Another prolific Colts scorer, Andrew Mangiapane, also had a good series, as he notched four goals and an assist.

The Colts, who entered the playoffs as the second-seeded team in the Eastern Conference, move on to play the North Bay Battalion in the second round,

with the winner playing the winner of the Oshawa-Niagara series.

“I thought we played well for three of four games,” said Bulls defenceman Alex Yuill. “We were right in there with them. With a little luck we could have won one–or all three.”

Another Bulls defenceman, Adam Bignell, had a similar perspective.

“The bounces didn’t go our way, but it’s nothing to hang our heads about,” he said. “I thought we played hard to the last shift; that’s all we wanted to do.”

Hastings County a hot spot for geologists

By Diane Sherman

News - Ivanhoe - Twenty-five per cent of mineral occurrences in eastern Ontario are in Hastings County, so says resident geologist Pam Sangster.

It also has the highest rate of claims staked for mining exploration.

Sangster, a geoscientist, is based at the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines (MNDM) office in Tweed. She has spent 17 years investigating local land structure in the county.

Her presentation at Huntingdon Veterans Community Hall in Ivanhoe, April 2, was followed

by Dr. Daniel Tubb, with a documentary report of his anthropological studies in Colombia, where he worked with local Afro-Colombian gold miners.

Techniques used by Colombians proved to be similar to those used by early miners in Hastings County but without the environmental controls found in this country.

Tubb said after years of exploiting the ground by hand, many resident land holders gave in to heavy equipment, excavators, in illegal operations to extract gold from rocks some 20 metres below the surface. Use of mercury to separate it from the rock left devastating effects.

When the price of gold plummeted recently, hundreds of hectares of land were left torn apart and waters contaminated.

Hastings County, filled with extensive deposits of minerals, has also been a centre of mining industry, notably the Eldorado gold rush of 1866, though iron ore had been mined in Marmora since the 1820s.

Limestone, a dominate under base throughout the territory, is an element, Sangster says, responsible for both the high quality of dairy products and the abundance of poison ivy in the region.

The region, she noted, was a world source for lithographic limestone.

“If anyone has an original Currier and Ives lithograph, it is likely on the limestone excavated nearby.”

Red bricks used in the area are made of clay quarried in the Tweed area, and the gray block buildings seen throughout the county were made Geologist Pam Sangster and anthropologist Dr. Daniel Tubb explained the impact ground minerals have had on local residents in both Ontario and far away lands at the last speaker’s series from limestone taken locally.

A striking example of the art of quilting

Carole Herbertson (l) displays her â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canada Quiltâ&#x20AC;? assisted by Manon Hunt. The quilting group meets on the fourth Friday of the month at the Tweed Library from 10:15 to 1:30.

By Brett Mann

News - Tweed - The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Library Quilting Group,â&#x20AC;? as it is informally known, was begun by former library activities co-ordinator Corinne Reidy a couple of years ago. Corinne and her husband moved out of the area but before leaving she began a project which has involved the efforts of about ten quilters over two years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Library Quiltâ&#x20AC;? was unveiled last week and proved to be a striking ar-

tistic accomplishment.

Co-ordinator Darlyne Pennycook spoke of the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s origins and activities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Corinne [Reidy, group founder] moved to Hamilton they wanted someone to take over so they asked if I would. We had a grant from New Horizons and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing this for two or three years.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thisâ&#x20AC;? is a variety of quilting and

sewing activities simultaneously being worked on in an atmosphere of cooperation and bubbling high spirits and chat. The Tweed Library room is filled with sewing machines, bolts of cloth, printed patterns and all the paraphernalia of quilt making. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We met on Tuesday evenings and we just sewed. We had maybe six or seven members, it varies,â&#x20AC;? says Ms. Pennycook. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We work on our own

projects and we now have up to ten its creation. Individual quilters sewed members.â&#x20AC;? The group meets each fourth panels recreating the spines of books, Friday of the month from 10:15 am till complete with authors and titles which 1:30. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody brings everything. when arranged on â&#x20AC;&#x153;shelvesâ&#x20AC;? on the The only thing that we share is an quilt produce a â&#x20AC;&#x153;trompe lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oeilâ&#x20AC;? effect of ironing board and an iron.

Quinte Regional Science and Technology Fair this Saturday News - Belleville - The Quinte Regional Science and Technology Fair is scheduled for Saturday April 11, at Loyalist College. Participants, potential judges and parents of students in Quinte

area Grades 4 to 12, will be displaying their projects and competing for award money as well. Information about this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair can be found on our website at <www.qrstf.ca>.

Numerous local elements now in demand Continued from page B1

She notes the talc mine in Madoc operated for 138 years. Closure of the mine in 2010 left a â&#x20AC;&#x153;mysteryâ&#x20AC;? rock, found to be foliated tremolite, a form of jade.

Similarly, she states, there are numerous elements found locally which are coming into demand, like titanium and vanadium, and those used for sustainable agriculture for soil enhancement. These minerals are still beneath the ground.

Certain minerals discovered in Hastings County were named by places: Hastingsite, found in Dungannon in 1896, Madocite, a sulphosalt found in Madoc in 1967, along with Veenite, Launayite and Sterryite all named for where they were found.

During the formative years 500 million years ago, the area had volcanic islands, mountains equivalent to the Himalayas, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;quiescent shallow sea,â&#x20AC;? and sheets of glacial ice four kilometres thick.

Much like the inhabitants of Colombia visited by Dr. Tubb, local residents are subject to what is underground; local cultures were built around the mining industry.

Sangster suggests there is still a future for mineral mining in the region based on recent demands for elements used in new technology. These elements, she said, remain from earlier exploits.

Graphite, for one, has a new use for which the researcher received a Nobel Prize. Tap rock, gabbro, found in Elzevir Township chips off into tiny squares used to surface roofing tiles. Deposits of titanium and vanadium, titaniferous magnetite associated with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;gabbroic phase of anorthositic intrusions,â&#x20AC;? will be found together she stated.

The geological history of the region is an on-going study, but for those interested in current data, Sangster invites visitors to the MNDM office on Old Troy Road, just north of Tweed off Highway 37, or call for information at 613-531-5700.

The last of the winter speakers series

by Hastings Stewardship Council saw many new faces from further afield than usual. Fifty new names were added to the mailing list.

Hastings Stewardship Council will be distributing tree seedlings in the county from April 18 to May 16; contact your municipal office for information.

Some students are already preparing to participate in our fair, while others are competing in their school or science group. There has been a great interest this year in participating in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair. The youth of our area are

looking forward to sharing their scientific discoveries and research.

The Canada-wide Science Fair will be held this coming May in Fredericton, New Brunswick. This year we will be sending five participants to

compete at the national level.

Visit our website <www.qrstf. ca> for further information.

The awards ceremony will begin at approximately 3:30 p.m. in the Automotive Centre. (All schedules are subject to change.)

We look forward to welcoming you on April 11 as Quinte brings the best in youth science to the 56th annual Quinte Regional Science and Technology Fair.

LIFESTYLES The Good Earth:

Dan Clost Lifestyles - Recently, Connon Nurseries hosted a Landscape Expo, bringing together some of our area’s top landscapers, arborists, gardeners, two cute alpacas, and imagine this, another nursery. Long-time readers of this column will be familiar with the idea that we are losing much of our understanding of this good earth, which sustains us. Those of us in the nursery business, especially where there is a retail component, are becoming distressingly familiar with that diminishing connection. Plants are increasingly viewed as a decorative accessory to dress up a patio or barbecue centre, similar to a painting above a fireplace mantle. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, Gentle Reader, as long as we don’t lose sight that a plant is a living organism that does not exist in isolation.

It is dependent upon an intricate environment composed of things we see and things we don’t see, e.g. other plants, insects, birds, soil, worms, bacteria and other micro-organisms, air, (including pollutants), water, (including pollutants) and ourselves.

This increasingly tenuous connection has created an interesting purchasing phenomena, many customers now request a native plant but they have no concept of the whole picture. Our challenge, as responsible retailers, is to introduce them to that

idea. It’s all well and good to select a native plant as long as you have created a compatible environment in which to plant it. Otherwise, it’s just a picture over the mantelpiece waiting to be swapped out when the shiny has become dull.

Fortunately, there are a few individuals who have embraced the challenge full on and Peter Fuller is one of those folk. He is the owner of Fuller Native and Rare Plants Nursery and was invited to the expo because of his complete dedication to this cause. In fact, a portion of all sales is directed to the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory.

I asked Peter for his mandate or mission statement and here is his simple and succinct reply. “… the conservation and enjoyment of native plants and to encourage people to use them in their own landscapes.”

It is becoming increasingly difficult to find undisturbed land and truly native plants.

Some might say his is a small niche nursery and I might agree that is so but only in a narrow sense.

Consider the big picture; I counted 269 distinct plant offerings for 2015 including trees, shrubs, flowers, lilies, and more.

For example,

Impaired driver charged News - Marmora - On March 27, 2015, at 11:55 p.m. members of Central Hastings OPP responded to a traffic complaint involving a possible impaired driver travelling west on Matthew Street in the village of Marmora. The vehicle’s driver was reported to have forced another motorist off the road, driven in the wrong lane and then parked at a motel on Highway #7.

Upon arrival officers located the female driver still seated in the parked car. As a result of their investigation the female driver Katya Kropp, 46, of North York, was subsequently arrested and charged with impaired driving and refusing to provide a breath sample. Her vehicle was impounded for seven days and she was issued a 90-day administrative driver’s licence suspension. She will appear in Ontario Court of Justice - Belleville on May 7, 2015.

Rare and native plants the nursery also has eight different heritage tomato cultivars available and a variety of landscape boulders.

He has put together a very important collection of our horticultural heritage and is not only helping to preserve it but has also taken steps to help us share in his work. He is an expert at showing folks how to create bio-diversity on their own estates. Peter is well-known on the local gardening speaker circuit and is in high demand. Along with this, he offers workshops covering all the facets from making your own hypertufa containers (Saturday, May 23, 9:30 a.m., at the nursery) to creating your

own pollinator garden (Saturday, June 6, 9:30 a.m., at the nursery). Oh, and in this latter workshop you will also make a “bee house” for native bees.

Mary Haggerty will be a co-instructor for these two offerings.

Fuller’s provides the community with some unique services such as an on-site assessment that is quite different from most: you can expect to receive: “… a list of existing native plant communities and any unusual/ rare species, list of invasive species and resources for dealing with them, recommended native plants to use around the property (plant lists), and;

recommendations for naturalizing projects.” Plant lists can be developed for woodland, shore edge, wetland, and alpine environments.

Peter has an extensive book collection with reviews on his website including John Eastman’s Book of Forest and Thicket. What makes this guide valuable is the list of associates accompanying each plant. Associates are all those bits and pieces that share that plant’s environment.

Visit their website at <www. fullerplants.com> and, on April 30, you can drive out to 175 Airport Parkway at the Elmwood intersection.

TRAVEL

Exploring Virginia’s Natural Bridge and its Cedar Creek Trail Lifestyles - In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Virginia’s Natural Bridge appeared on several “Natural Wonders of the World” lists, and it’s now a National Historic Landmark and still well worth a visit. After all, it’s the remains of the roof of a cave or tunnel through which the Cedar Creek

entrance is best reached by leaving Highway I-81 at exit 175, between Roanoke and Lexington, and you’ll soon arrive at the beautiful and refurbished Natural Bridge Hotel. From here, you can take a short shuttle or descend the 137 steps to the trail. You’ll need to purchase a ticket to enter and walk along a section

I checked out this awesome geological formation for myself on my last visit to Virginia, and when I watched other tourists approaching the Natural Bridge, I realized just how mammoth it actually was. I learned that the gigantic natural arch has a span of about 90 feet and

a height of about 215 feet, so visitors looked rather tiny as they approached this gigantic limestone structure. The path took me along Cedar Creek and past towering limestone cliffs, decorated by graffiti (carved initials) over the years. A “GW” is one set of initials

that has been inscribed into the rocky precipice near Natural Bridge, and legend has it that a young George Washington did some surveying in this area and decided to add his initials. However, there’s no real proof that this event ever really happened, so it’s very likely someone else’s “GW.” There’s still a historic connection, though, for Thomas Jefferson purchased this very land in 1774, just prior to the American Revolution and the Declaration of Independence, and he subsequently built a log cabin in this area. The land was eventually sold by his heirs, and a hotel was built here to accommodate the throngs of visitors attracted to this natural wonder.

This site has special meaning for the natives of this area, for the Monacans called the Natural Bridge the “Bridge of God,” deeming it sacred, and they first discovered it while evading an enemy several centuries ago. Therefore, the Monacans have now built a model village near this site, a living history exhibit, and it’s open to the public. It provides visitors with an opportunity to visualize what life was like in such a village back in the 17th century, and it includes a longhouse, trading post, and single family home (built with cattails). I walked directly under the natural arch and continued on the footpath along the creek and I soon arrived at this exhibit. Here I was able to learn about some of their traditional activities, including cooking, pottery, basket weaving and tool production.

You can then continue to stroll along this Cedar Creek Trail for about a mile, and you’ll pass an old saltpeter mine (used for gunpowder production during the Revolutionary War), and the Lost River (an underground channel of water that now spills into the creek) before arriving at the trail’s end at Lace Falls. You’ll then simply retrace your steps to return to Natural Bridge and the exit point.

winter, Corduroy Road and popular Hastings-based group The Zapletal have also been added to this year’s show with more promised.

The Alberta-raised, Vancouverbased Mack has been busy since his first single, Duet, hit the airwaves and cracked the top ten. He’s opened for the likes of Dierks Bentley, who rocked the Jamboree last year, Florida Georgia Line and Miranda Lambert and after moving to Vancouver and joining the band Head of Herd found himself opening for an eclectic mix of rockers that included Guns ’n Roses, The Trews and The Sheepdogs.

He’s been with the TV series Heartland since 2012 playing musician Austin Mars. Mack also appeared in the show popular show Smallville.

The single Duet with Carly McKillop was a juggernaut and helped Mack win the overall grand prize in the global “Unsigned One Music” contest. He was nominated for two CCMA awards

in 2014, the rising star and the CMT video of the year.

Autumn Hill–Toronto’s Mike Robins and Calgary’s Torey Green– released their debut album Favourite Mistake in 2013 which earned immediate acclaim as a solid crossover CD with plenty of air time on both country and contemporary playlists; it led to a CCMA rising star nomination.

Jason D. Williams is a legendary Arkansas raised performer with a high-energy stage show that blends honky tonk, country and Memphisstyle rock. He went solo in the 1980s after working with LeBeef and built up a solid reputation with performances influenced by the likes of Jerry Lee Lewis, Moon Mullican, Memphis Slim and Al Jolson.

Williams did all the hand shots for actor Dennis Quaid in the movie Great Balls of Fire.

Nourish Havelock hosting free seed-starting workshop

By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock - The slow march to real spring weather has been glacier-like which is all the more reason to welcome this Saturday’s Nourish Havelock seed and soil workshop at Havelock United Church.

The free workshop will run from 1 to 4 p.m. and will feature seasoned gardeners with plenty of information to help people plan ahead for the outdoor planting season. Free seeds and soil will be available at the workshop as well.

The event’s lead facilitator for the seed-starting workshop will be Helen Evergroen who has been growing food for many years and is a familiar vendor at the Campbellford Farmers’ Market. She has also donated local produce for Nourish Havelock’s highly successful Community dinner.

Nourish Havelock member Amanda O’Rourke, a regular vendor at the Peterborough Farmers’ Market with produce from her family’s Tall Tree Farm, will also be on hand to answer any questions.

The workshop should certainly appeal to people interested in starting seeds and having plants for their own garden, says O’Rourke.

It will also be an opportunity for anyone interested in a plot in the Nourish Havelock community garden to apply for a spot.

Last summer Nourish Havelock held free gardening workshops at their community garden site at Your Office in the east of the village that were well-attended and informative.

Amanda O’Rourke, a member of the Havelock Nourish committee, will be one of the facilitators at a free seed starting and soil workshop April 11 at Havelock United Church that will run from 1 to 4 p.m.

Festival of Sacred Praise returns to St. Paul’s

By Richard Turtle

News - Stirling - Now celebrating its 65th year, the two-week-long Stirling Festival of Sacred Praise is returning to St. Paul’s United Church this month, featuring singers, musicians and orators performing for audiences and professional adjudicators in various classes.

Held under the auspices of the official board of St. Paul’s United Church and the Stirling Festival Committee, the annual festival continues to promote a love of sacred praise and encourage the continued participation of boys, girls and young people, say committee organizers.

Vocal, instrumental and scripture classes are presented at both St. Paul’s and the Stirling Festival Theatre as part of the regional competition with top finishers eligible to proceed to the provincial level. But longtime festival supporter and committee president Donna Russett has emphasized that the spirit of the event is as much about encouraging learning and personal growth in each of the individual participants as it is about providing opportunities for further competition. Professional adjudicators offer valuable feedback, as well as tips and ideas to improve presentations, so it’s

Students from Stirling Public School perform during last year’s Stirling Festival of Sacred Praise. The 65th annual competition, held under the auspices of The Council of St. Paul’s United Church and the Stirling Festival Committee, begins on April 19.

not only the seasoned performers who benefit. And many participants who begin as youngsters return year after year. Russett, a performer in the first festival and a supporter ever since,

knows that as well as anyone. The festival has also attracted well-qualified and understanding judges who have provided both encouragement and advice for all performers.

While organizers say numbers are down this year, the festival regularly draws participants from Peterborough, Belleville and Napanee as well as smaller communities in the imme-

diate area. And over the years, committee members and organizers have seen thousands of singers and musicians perform and remain impressed by the calibre of talent shown by the many groups and individuals over the decades.

This year’s edition of the annual competition opens on Sunday, April 19, with vocal classes running until Tuesday. String classes will be held Thursday, April 23, with bands, woodwinds and brass classes scheduled for Friday, April 24, at both the Stirling Festival Theatre and St. Paul’s. Piano classes follow from Sunday, April 26, until Tuesday, April 28, with scripture classes wrapping up competitions on April 29.

Following the festival, the Stars of the Festival concert will be held May 8, at 7 p.m. at St. Paul’s. The Stars concert is a regular feature of the festival and, like the various competition classes, is also open to the public. Presented after the final adjudications, the celebratory concert offers a restaging of some of the top performances. Admission to the Stars concert is $3 for adults and 50 cents for children. Full details are available on the Internet at <www.stirlingfestival.com>.

children orphaned by AIDS, sometimes as many as 10 to 15 in one household.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The middle generation, the parents, they pass away [from AIDS] and leave the grandmothers with maybe two or three maybe eight grandchildren or more. They are grieving for their daughter or son, the kids are grieving and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got no money,â&#x20AC;? Ellis explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Stephen Lewis Foundation has a very good check system and we know the money we are sending over goes to the people it should,â&#x20AC;? she added.

The foundation also notes on its website that Canadians have raised about $19.5 million for African grandmothers.

Resources from the campaign are invested directly at community level, with grassroots organizations that provide grandmothers and the children in their care with supports that include food, educational supplies, uniforms and school fees, medical care, HIV counselling and testing, adequate housing and bedding, counselling and support groups, home visits, and much more.

Raising funds has become even more important as medical support is also now needed to help with the spread of Ebola. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the things that makes this even more important now is the Ebola scare. So much of the ďŹ nancing has gone from AIDS into Ebola that it has been left behind,â&#x20AC;? commented Ellis.

Reaching out to Fallis, the Independent was able to obtain a comment about his free appearance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very pleased to be coming back to Warkworth. The Trent Hills Grannies for Africa do such important work

News - Trent Hills - Showcasing his own brand of humour for what is a very serious fundraiser, well-known Canadian writer and humourist Terry Fallis is returning to Trent Hills as a guest speaker for Trent Hills Grannies for Africa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Terry is donating his time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really amazing,â&#x20AC;? said Carole Ellis, a grandmother herself who joined the group about ďŹ ve years ago.

She recently co-chaired the very popular Trent Hills Grannies for Africa Pre-loved Jewellery Sale, the other big fundraiser for the organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His books are all the rage and so funny. His sense of humour and subject matter are what make him so popular I think,â&#x20AC;? she commented. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fallis employs his understated whimsy and sense of irony in a hilarious chronicle. What delightful lunacy Fallis has concocted here, with a dollop of intrigue and even romance,â&#x20AC;? states the Montreal Gazette, a caption on the Granniesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brochure.

The Trent Hills Grannies for Africa holds two major fundraisers annually, their jewellery sale and special guest night.

The money they raise goes directly to the Stephen Lewis Foundation for the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We sent $6,000 two years ago and $5,500 last year,â&#x20AC;? noted Ellis.

As the foundation points out on its website: â&#x20AC;&#x153;African grandmothers are central to the life of their communities. With almost no support, they have stepped forward to care for millions of

3. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to the dentist because I am scared to deathâ&#x20AC;?.

Dentistry is not like what it is used to be. There are so many newer types of numbing agents that can help minimize anxiety and discomfort. Things like Nitrous Oxide, so called laughing gas, and other medications can be used to help patients feel at ease during appointments. This is known as sedation dentistry. Lasers and air abrasion technology can even reduce the need for needles and drills for certain cavities.

Dr. Brian Ho

As dentists, we see many different types of patients in our day-to-day practice. Many of these patients are well aware of the importance of oral health as part of an overall healthy lifestyle. However, occasionally we encounter some patients who avoid going to see their dentist for many different But again, the more regularly reasons. Here is a list of some you go to see your dentist, the less likely you will need larger common reasons: complex treatments.

1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to the dentist because nothing is bothering meâ&#x20AC;? 4. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to dentists because A lack of discomfort does not every time I go, my dentist finds a mean a lack of disease. Prime cavityâ&#x20AC;?. The fact that you are not examples are diabetes and aware of the presence of a cavity cancers. These are often very quiet does not mean you may not have conditions but when they become one. If you have a cavity, you have noticeable, it is usually too late a cavity regardless of whether to treat them or much damage you go to see your dentist or not. may have already occurred. Most Knowing that a cavity is present cavities and gum disease are very means that you as a patient are quiet and go unnoticeable. By more likely to avoid experiencing the time individuals come see toothaches and root canals their dentist with cavities or especially if the cavity is detected gum diseases, they may require early on. root canals or may even lose their 5. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to my dentist teeth. because I have a busy scheduleâ&#x20AC;?.

2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to the dentist Many dental offices recognize that because it is too expensiveâ&#x20AC;?. life can often be hectic. There are Dentistry can be expensive. many dentists in the Quinte Area However, it is important to know who now offer appointments in that preventative dentistry is the evenings and weekends to suit much less costly than treatments your busy life. that are used to correct problems resulting from oral diseases.

For example, the cost for 10 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 20 preventive cleanings and check-ups is similar to the cost of fixing only one tooth with a toothache. People who spend the least amount of money in a dental office tend to be those who see their dentist regularly. This is why most insurance companies pay 80 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 100 percent of preventive treatments; they realize that in the long run, less money will be spent if people see their dentist

6. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to the dentist because I am going to get dentures later anywaysâ&#x20AC;?.

Remember, dentures and partials are NOT true replacements for your teeth. Dentures alone are non-fixed plastic plates that attempt to replace your teeth that are typically solid and anchored in your mouth. Also remember that having dentures means that you now have to think about what you can or cannot eat. Ideally, it is best to avoid dentures if at all possible

A packed house for Easter drama

By Brett Mann

News - Tweed - All audience seats were occupied or spoken for at a recent matinée presentation of The Sound of Love.

Clayton Scurr with his wife Mari-Anne are co-directing the Easter drama staged by the Tweed Pentecostal Church.

“This is our third time doing the play in the past two years.

To our understanding it should be a full house for both shows, three and six o’clock.” There is no charge for the performances.

“The tickets are free,” notes Scurr. Free will donations?

“We’re not even asking for that.

We just want to bless people.”

The play involves about 20 actors and half-a-dozen helpers taking care of lighting, curtains,

makeup and other tasks.

David Wright plays the part of Jesus. A modern-day story of a tormented young man is interwoven with a telling of Christ’s crucifixion and Resurrection. “We start with the ridicule, persecution and crucifixion of Christ. Then we snap out of that and a gentleman by the name of Paul walks in and introduces himself.”

Paul begins leafing through a photo album and reminiscing about the different stages of life: times with his grandmother, college years, a failed marriage.

Paul’s life has been touched by tragedy, having lost his father to cancer and his mother in a car accident.

“He turns to substance abuse

to dull the pain of life’s challenges, then gets married thinking it will bring the joy and peace he’s looking for and he manages to screw that up,” Mr. Scurr relates.

“He comes across his dad’s old Bible, looks at it, and turns to it for answers. Then we return to the crucifixion of Christ and his Resurrection, then David Wright who plays Jesus addresses the crowd.”

Roughly 65 people attend services at Tweed Pentecostal each week, Scurr reports but about three-quarters of the average audience for each performance do not regularly attend services. Music for The Sound of Love is mixed, live and recorded with live performances by Pastor Steve Sture and Jillian Foley.

As David Wright was receiving his
