‘We’re thankful for those valiant hearts’ Belleville remembers Vimy Ridge

OVER 60 YEARS EXPERIENCE

Bulk Sales, & Retail SALES - SERVICE - PARTS

Belleville – Hushed silence fell at the Belleville cenotaph as flags blew in the warm spring wind. The bugler raised her instrument and the sombre sounds of The Last Post filled the air. A century has now past, but those who made the ultimate sacrifice at Vimy Ridge have not been forgotten, particularly not here, as dozens of military supporters gathered on Sunday for the annual commemorative service to mark one of Canada’s most significant military battles. The battle of Vimy Ridge took place from April 9 to 12, 1917, as part of the First World War and it came to be known as a signature moment in the history of the Canadian Forces. During those three days, Canada troops claimed the heavily-fortified seven-kilometre ridge in Northern France; a plot of land that was key to the allied forces’ eventual defeat of Germany. But it came at a terrible cost. More than 3,500 Canadians were killed and another 7,000-some were wounded. “We’re thankful for those valiant hearts,” said Padre Brad Beale of the Hastings & Prince Edward Regiment in a prayer delivered to the dozens in attendance. “They gave their lives in Corporal Samuel Easby, a cadet with the 608 Dukes, guards the monument for local First World War victims the cost of freedom.”

Major Wil Brown-Ratcliffe, a Padre for the Army Navy Air Force Veterans Club, delivered a message which described the attack, which started 100 years ago that day at 5 a.m. in a snow storm. When it was all done, nearly 4,000 “fathers, brothers, sons, husbands, friends lost – and close to double that number wounded.” He would go on to say that Vimy became synonymous with “astonishing courage,” but it was an “awful” human tragedy. “Vimy was a place where Canadians sacrificed. Vimy is a name that evokes what it means to be selfless. And so our victory at Vimy became embedded in our national psyche as a moment of unprecedented national pride; a touchstone of what it means to stand with dignity … To this day, our honoured veterans and peacekeepers continue this heritage.” Officials from three levels of government and local military groups laid wreaths along the cenotaph during the brief ceremony, which opened and closed with a colour party parade

amid the warm afternoon sun. In closing remarks, Belleville Veterans Council chairman Skip Solomon encouraged guests to think daily about those who lost their lives. “They shall not grow old, as we grow old,” he said. “At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we shall remember them.”

Ray celebrates final day: Belleville deputy fire chief retires after 30 years BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – When Ray Ellis drives around Belleville, he often finds himself going down memory lane. After 30 years as a firefighter there’s hardly a corner of the city he hasn’t ventured into, to put out a fire or treat a victim of an accident. “You look down the street and you think, ‘I was in a fire here or I was in a car accident here,’” said the recently retired deputy fire chief, in an interview to reflect on his career. “There were a lot of significant high-rise fires and a lot of house fires that were tough to fight. But I came out of it all right.” Ellis’s last day with the Belleville Fire Department was Tuesday, March 28. He’s now retired from a 30-yearcareer; the last three and a half years of which he spent as one of the department’s two deputy chiefs. Dozens of fellow firefighters, from across the region, and several city dignitaries came out to a celebration at Belleville Firehall 1 that day to celebrate his career. He was also recognized at Belleville city council a day earlier. The events were fitting tributes to a professional who dedicated himself, not just to the fire department, but the community as a whole. Ellis is also known for his contributions to the local Canadian Cancer Society branch. In 2005, he biked across Canada to raise funds and awareness for cancers that firefighters are more prone to get. Later he would become a cancer survivor himself, as he was diagnosed with a lung condition known as Barrett Syndrome. He kept contributing to the CCS and in 2015 a photo of him was used nationally to promote the CCS’s daffodil campaign. Ellis said, in retirement, he plans to continue supporting the CCS, but for now he’s focussed on moving – as he and his wife Dianne are uprooting from their Quinte West home and relocating to Prince Edward County. After 30 years of being a working firefighter he’s looking forward to spending more time with his family. One of the toughest parts of being a firefighter, he said, is the long hours away from home. “It’s extremely hard on your

Submitted photo spouse,” he said. “I had to miss a lot of school things (with daughter Jenna) and birthdays and Christmases. But she never complained.” Then there’s also the stress that comes with battling blazes. “We’re the ones running into buildings when everyone’s running out,” he said. “Twice I said a prayer to my wife and daughter, because I thought I

wasn’t coming out,” he said. “But that’s what you sign up for.” Ellis joined the Belleville Department in 1987 when he was 27. Joining the department wasn’t as difficult then as it is today, he admits. He had some of the qualifications needed – such as first aid and the licence to drive a truck. And

“once you got on, they would send you to fire college.” In those days, Ellis said, firefighters still hung on to the back of trucks as they responded to fires – something that was outlawed in the 90s.

Over the year, he’s also seen incredible changes in technology to help firefighters better respond to and treat fires; such as fans that blow oxygen to help firefighters see and better 911 dispatch programs that allow firefighters to know where they need to go the moment a call comes in. Becoming a firefighter, he said, fulfilled a dream he had since childhood. As a child growing up in Belleville, he had a relative who was a firefighter, who taught him a bit about the profession. Now, he said, it’s rewarding for him to see young children visit firehalls and learn about the profession from himself and his colleagues. The high esteem that the community holds for firefighters is what makes the job so rewarding, he said. That, and building a sense of camaraderie with colleagues, too. “You work together, you eat together, you’re with each other for 24 hours a day when you’re working,” he said. “I know more about the guys than maybe a lot of their spouses do. You talk about a lot of deep stuff. You come close over the years.” Because Ellis is so close with his colleagues, one of the messages he received at Tuesday’s tribute was to “not be a stranger” and visit the stations any time. That meant a lot to him, he said. “A lot of guys; I’ve seen their kids grow up,” he said. “You hear the term brotherhood and sisterhood. It’s very true.”

Belleville police expect to lay more charges against a city tattoo parlour owner following a torrent of social media attention to his charges this week of committing an indecent act and sexual assault. Det.-Sgt. Brad Lentini said in an interview with Belleville News he has spoken to “several” potential additional complainants since police released information Tuesday about the charges against the owner/operator of Skin Graffix tattoo parlour. In several online social media posts, women who’d visited the business shared experiences Kennethy Wayne Melvin in a photo from social and many said they would be contacting media site Facebook page for Skin Graffix. Lentini. The officer said his phone and e-mail lit up with calls and messages from women saying they too had experiences involving the charged individual. “Since the release and the subsequent items online and in the media, I’ve spoken with about 12 more individuals who have come forward either with complaints or information,” said Lentini. “Some were simply requesting information or providing information and others may result in further charges.” He said he spent Wednesday morning “going through a lot of phone messages and emails” from individuals who said they’d heard the story in the news media or on social media. The case began, said police in a statement issued Tuesday, in early March when police said they “received a complaint about a local businessman sexually assaulting a female patron while she was receiving services. Detectives from the Criminal Investigation Branch continued the investigation and on April 3… arrested and charged 47-year old Kenneth Wayne Melvin, of Belleville with one count of committing an indecent act and one count of sexual assault.” None of the charges have been proven in court. Melvin has operated Skin Graffix Tattooing and Piercing on Dundas Street East for several years. Melvin has been released on an undertaking with strict conditions and a promise-to-appear in Belleville Provincial court on May 4. The investigating officer, Det.-Sgt. Brad Lentini, can be reached at 613-966-0882 Ext. 2224 or by e-mail at blentini@police.belleville.on.ca

Two-kitchen homes still a hot topic at Belleville council BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – A heated issue over kitchens returned to the council table in Belleville on Monday. The issue over whether the city should grant permits to homes built with two kitchens inside generated some intense discussion. In the end, council votes to recommend staff prepare “Official Plan policies for the purpose of permitting

second units” that will be subject to approval from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. The topic arose almost a year after a homebuilder scolded council during a deputation for denying a permit for a newly-constructed home on Greenhill Lane because it had kitchens both on the main floor and a downstairs room. A permit to that home was later granted but the topic on whether Belleville should regularly allow two-

kitchen homes remains a complex one. Coun. Mitch Panciuk made it clear he supports the idea of two-kitchen homes saying there’s a lot of “great reasons” for homebuilders to offer hem. He pointed out that today many homes house entire extended families and the downstairs kitchen is handy if a grandparent is living downstairs and wants a kitchen of their own. Ron Bovay, the city director responsible for policy planning, said provincial regulations appear to be

Subcommittee to look at downtown parking issues BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – A new subcommittee of city council will work to address an issue that has long generated debate in Belleville -how best to provide downtown parking. The idea of the subcommittee was brought forward by Coun. Egerton Boyce at the Monday, April 10 council meeting and quickly endorsed by Mayor Taso Christopher. Boyce will serve on the subcommittee with Coun. Mitch Panciuk, who already represents the city on the Belleville Downtown Improvement Area board, plus councillors Mike Graham and Jack Miller.

They’ll work with BDIA representatives to come up with ideas. Boyce pointed out there’s been considerable debate in the city of late on whether parking should be free, or less expensive, in order to encourage more visitors to the area. Council has been reluctant to offer any permanent recommendations, owing to construction that took place in the downtown village for the past two years. But with the city centre revitalization project now two-thirds complete, now is a good time to “come up with something that’s going to be carved in stone for the next little while,” Boyce said. He said the subcommittee could “brain-

moving in such a way that such homes will be encouraged. But the City of Belleville, he said, still has concerns about double kitchens homes if they are built in the same unit. To meet fire safety regulations, a home with two kitchens must be built as two separate living units, he said. “What we don’t want is a single family dwelling with two kitchen in it, without proper fire separation,” he said. “That’s what we had a Greenhill Lane.”

Council’s vote on Monday, however, allows staff to create a new policy to make the rules clear to homebuilders and homeowners. “The policy will be very straight forward,” Bovay said, explaining it could use language such as the city will “support second units where appropriate ... What council will have to decide is, do you want to implement that through policies or in the zoning bylaw.”

storm” around possible ideas, such as offering two-hour free parking opportunities behind buildings. Christopher said “good call” as he quickly moved to approve the subcommittee.

Belleville – Belleville police have laid child pornography charges on a 70-year-old city man. Police said they received information from the RCMP in late 2016 and again in early 2017 regarding a resident of Belleville distributing child pornography on the Internet. As a result, the Mounties’ Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) investigators and tech crime officers executed a search warrant in a west end Belleville home “seizing numerous electronic devices.” Frank Wayne Burns, 70, is charged with three counts of possessing child pornography, two counts of distributing child pornography and one count of making child pornography. Burns was held for a show cause hearing on April 4. The investigation is ongoing and additional charges may be forthcoming.

St. Michael kids are superheroes – like Marlow BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – Superheroes were roaming the halls of St. Michael Catholic school on Friday. That was apparent based on how they dressed – and how they acted, too. Superhero day was held in honour of Marlow Ploughman, a Grade 2 student at the school, who’s battling cancer. On each day of the week, from April 3 to 7, students did something to honour their brave classmate. And, while doing it, they also, at her family’s request, raised money for Ronald McDonald house-a McDonald’s restaurant-led home in Toronto that families can stay at while their children receive treatments for serious illnesses. “It’s honestly been amazing,” said Kelm Pazos, a student in the Grade 7-8 class that helped organize the activities. The class, taught by Madame Campbell and Ms. Callaghan, wanted to do something special for Lent, in keeping with Catholic school tradition. Knowing the challenges Marlow and her family are facing, they decided to do something that would bright-

en up their lives. On each day of the week, special activities were planned based on something that Marlow enjoys. Monday was “wear purple day,” as purple is Marlow’s favourite colour. On Tuesday, students were encouraged to wear either orange (the colour that represents leukemia awareness) or gold (in honour of childhood cancer). On Wednesday, the school held soccer activities, as that is Marlow’s favourite sport. On Thursday, they had movie and pajama day. Friday’s superhero day was particularly fitting to honour Marlow, as the seven-year old recently played the role of Batgirl in a campaign to raise awareness of Toronto’s SickKids Hospital, where she’s been receiving treatment for much of her life. To participate in the activities, students were encouraged to bring in $1. But many brought in, much much more. “Students were saving up their money,” said Rheydan McCoy, another Grade 7 student, adding that many students donated birthday money. The Grade 7/8 class set a goal of raising $1,500, but as of Friday, there were closing in on the $4,000 mark. The fact that the money is being

raised for Ronald McDonald house is pleasing to Marlow and her parents, Tanya Boehm and Mike Ploughman. The family has practically lived at a Ronald McDonald house near SickKids in Toronto over recent years and they say the home has made their life much easier, considering Marlow’s treatments force them to spend weeks at a time away from home. Marlow’s cancer battle is still trying, but she’s been able to make it to school a few times since January and she was at the school a couple times during the special week – although not on Friday. The students said they were happy to do a small part to help Marlow and her family through a stressful time. “It feels good to get out of our little bubble,” said Jaylynn Akey, explaining that their teachers encourage them to think about others and how they can help with issues that take place outside their own classroom. St. Michael’s principal Michele McGrath said she was proud of the students’ efforts. Their actions are in keeping with the school’s motto, which says “we are called to love and be loved.” “Even though (Marlow) can’t be here, we love her,” she said.

St. Michael’s principal Michele McGrath with students (clockwise from top) Ryeydan McCoy, Jaylynn Akey, Caleb St. Pierre and Kelm Pazos all got into ‘superhero day’ at the school on Friday, April 7 in honour of Marlow Ploughman. Stephen Petrick/Metroland The school’s actions haven’t gone “They’ve been a great support for unnoticed by Marlow’s family. us,” said Boehm.

OPINION

Cui Bono on retaliatory air strikes? Donald Trump has spent a lot of time in the courts, so he must be familiar with the legal concept of “cui bono” – “who benefits?” When a crime is committed, the likeliest culprit is person who benGwynne Dyer the efited from the deed. But he certainly did not apply that principle when deciding to attack a Syrian government airbase with 59 cruise missiles early Friday morning. The attack against Shayrat airbase, the first US military action against Bashar al-Assad’s regime in six years of civil war, was allegedly a retaliation for a poison gas attack on the rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhoun three days before that President Trump blamed on the Syrian regime. But who stood to benefit from the chemical attack in the first place? There was absolutely no direct military advantage to be derived from killing 80 civilians with poison gas in Khan Sheikhoun. The town, located in al-Qaeda-controlled territory in Idlib province, is not near any front line and is of no military significance. The one useful thing that the gas attack might produce, with an impulsive new president in the White House, was an American attack on the Syrian regime. Who would benefit from that? Well, the rebels obviously would. They have been on the ropes since the Assad regime reconquered Aleppo in December, and if the warming relationship between Washington and Moscow resulted in an imposed peace settlement in Syria they would lose everything. (Only a few days ago US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said that removing Assad from power was no longer Washington’s priority.) Al-Qaeda – and probably several other rebel groups – have access to chemical weapons. The country was awash with them before the war, because the ability to make a mass chemical-weapons attack on Israel was Syria’s only deterrent against an Israeli nuclear attack. Chemical weapons were stored in military facilities all over Syria, and at one point half the country was under rebel control. So of course the rebels have had some for years, and are known to have used them on occasion in their own internecine wars. Would al-Qaeda have hesitated to use them on innocent civilians order to trigger an Ameri-

can attack on the Syrian regime? Of course not. The results have already been spectacular. The developing Russian-American alliance in Syria is broken, the prospect of an imposed peace that sidelines the rebels – indeed, of any peace at all – has retreated below the horizon, and Rex Tillerson has just declared that “steps are underway” to form an international coalition to force Bashar al-Assad from power. Not a bad return on a small investment. But we should also consider the possibility that Bashar al-Assad actually did order the attack. Why would it do that? For exactly the same reason: to trigger an American attack on the Syrian regime. From a policy perspective, that could make perfectly good sense. The American attack didn’t really hurt much, after all, and it has already smashed a developing Russian-American relationship in Syria that could have ended up imposing unwelcome conditions on Assad. Indeed, Moscow and Washington might ultimately have decided that ejecting Assad (though not the entire regime) from power was an essential part of the peace settlement. Assad doesn’t want foreigners deciding his fate, and he doesn’t want a “premature” peace settlement either. He wants the war to go on long enough for him to reconquer and reunite the whole country (with Russian help, of course). So use a little poison gas, and Donald Trump will obligingly over-react. That should end the threat of US-Russian collaboration in Syria. Either of these possibilities – a false-flag attack by al-Qaeda or a deliberate provocation by the regime itself – is quite plausible. What is not remotely believable is the notion that the stupid and evil Syrian regime just decided that a random poison gas attack on an unimportant town would be a bit of fun. Villains in DC Comics do bad things simply because they are evil. The players in the Syrian civil war do bad things because they are part of serious (though often evil) strategies. Whoever committed the atrocity at Khan Sheikhoun wanted the United States to attack the Syrian regime, and Donald Trump fell for it. But if Trump was taken in by the Syrians, he certainly exploited his attack to send a very serious message to China and North Korea. He is a player too, after all, and it can hardly be an accident that he timed the attack for the day of his meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping. Wheels within wheels. It is going to be a wild ride.

Much to be proud of here in military history Editorial by Chris Malette As many watched on television and in smaller ceremonies right here at home, this past weekend, we remember a century-ago battle at Vimy Ridge, in France, that famously shaped our nation – at least in the eyes of the world. But, we need only look to our own Hastings & Prince Edward Regiment – the battle-honoured Hasty Ps – for inspiration and a tangible, ourown-boys connection to the storied, infamous battles of the First and Second World Wars. Truth told, there is no more storied regiment in the annals of Canadan army history. In the words of its own members and historians, The Regiment, as it is simply and proudly known, is described as “a regiment that has fought in every major engagement Canada has been involved in even before Confederation. A regiment that has been awarded 42 Battle Honours and a regiment that won more Battle Honours than any other Canadian regiment in World War II.” Having drawn from towns, villages and farms from the area that encompasses The Regiment’s recruitment area – with headquarters in Belleville and additional companies in Peterborough and Cobourg – the ‘Plough Jockeys’ or Fighting Farmers as they were affectionately called, indeed fought battles in the area surrounding Vimy – the men of the Hasty Ps did indeed take part in the Battle of Arras at and around Vimy. The Regiment’s battle honours were hard won, too, at other vicious campaigns fought in the trenches of France and Belgium. Among them, in 1917 alone for the Hasty Ps were such infamous battlegrounds as the Third Battle of Ypres, known as the Battle of Passchendaele; the Battle of Arras (at Vimy) and The Battle of Hill 70. By all accounts, it was at Hill 70 – which has been overshadowed by the monumental victory at Vimy, but as fiercely won and as important a victory, by most accounts as Vimy – that The Regiment and its fighting farmers brought as much glory to the estimation of the Canadian fighting soldier in the eyes of both the enemy and the British command as did the victories at Vimy. In the 10-day assault on the promontory named simply for its elevation above sea level, but located at Lens, France, some of the most vile tactics of then modern warfare were employed. From an account of the battle: “The Germans also began to use poison gas in earnest. From 15,000–20,000 of the new Yellow Cross shells containing the blistering agent sulfur mustard were fired in addition to an undetermined num-

DISTRIBUTION MANAGER Paul Mitchell 613-966-2034, ext 508 SALES MANAGER Melissa Hudgin 613-966-2034, ext 504 ADVERTISING SALES Norah Nelson, 613-966-2034 ext 501 Michael Kelly, 613-966-2034 ext 506 Morgan Scott, 613-966-2034 ext 518

ber of shells containing diphosgene, a type of chlorine gas that scorched the lungs of its victims… German troops employing flamethrowers managed to penetrate the Canadian line north of the quarry on the morning of 18 August before being driven out…” As with Vimy and the other trench warfare battles of the time, it was indeed horrific for those involved and there are stories handed down in the Hastings, Peterborough and Northumberland counties from which the Hasty Ps drew recruits of young men who returned home from these conflicts deeply emotionally and mentally scarred, as well as bearing terrible physical effects. Their names are etched on cenotaphs in so many towns, villages and hamlets and upon the walls of municipal offices and churches, always remembered for answering the call. According to The Regiment’s archives, the battle honours won in in the Second World War cost The Regiment 342 members. They were killed in action or later died of wounds. They are remembered as having joined the “White Battalion… where all members of the Hastings & Prince Edward Regiment ‘transfer to’ when they move on from this earthly plane…” There are ghosts of heroes among us in these parts and in the family histories of those left behind by those fighting farmers, those plucky Plough Jockeys who helped forge a world reputation for Canada as a country and home to a courageous brand of soldier, unyielding regardless of the size and barbarism of the fight that confronted them. We have much to be proud of, here, and we would hope there are generous portions of local history lessons in schools hereabouts in teaching the rich military history of the accomplishments of the men of the Hasty Ps in the world wars. For those who might wish to look further into that history, visit a local library and look for Farley Mowat’s acclaimed book ‘The Regiment’ (or his controversial follow-up book, disdained, by the way, by most members of The Regiment, ‘And No Birds Sang,’ a later-in-life, no-holdsbarred look at Mowat’s personal experiences in war with the Hasty Ps.) Also, there is ‘Duffy’s Regiment: A History of the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment’ by Kenneth B. Smith. As the final incantation goes, “At the going down of the sun, we shall remember them.” And remember them, here, we well should.

Belleville News honoured at Ontario Community Newspaper awards Belleville News was honoured for breaking news coverage at this past weekend’s Ontario community news awards in Toronto, known as the OCNAs among the craft. The news team from Belleville News captured the second place award in the category of “Online Special Project/Breaking News Coverage” for coverage of the downtown RBC bank holdup tied in with the March, 2016, incidents where the bank was held up moments after the suspect, Toronto man Zak Bayfield, is alleged to have fired a gun down a hallway at Quinte Secondary School. The gunshot, police allege, was to provide a diversion for the robber who rushed downtown to hold up the bank while police resources converged on the high school. Belleville News’ team entry for coverage of the bizarre robbery and gun incident was one of 1,500 submissions to the Ontario Community Newspapers Association’s 2016 Better Newspapers Competition. Said judge Barbara Dean Simmons, an editor for TC Media, of Belleville’s runner-up entry: “A very unique story and something a news team couldn’t possibly plan for. Online coverage was excellent; well-written stories, including a simple list of info (the suspects in the incident) and photos... overall very good work by the news team in reporting what was a very strange case indeed.” Belleville News was bested by Nunavut

News North’s coverage of the 2016 Arctic Winter Games, which took first place in the category.

Belleville News reporter Steve Petrick accepted the runner-up award on behalf of Belleville News for the newspaper’s entry in the Breaking News category at the OCNA awards in Tronto Friday, April 7. Ryland Coyne/Metroland

Student art show provides glimpse of Reality BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – The image shows a young man screaming as his hands press down on headphones fastened to his ear. All around him are images that show the hectic pace of early 21st Century life. The piece, titled Reality, was produced by Centennial Secondary School international student Marika Tamura, and was chosen as the promotional image for the 29th annual student art show that’s now on display at the Belleville Public Library. Andrea Kerr, the Learning Support co-ordinator, who helped organize the show said when she saw it she knew it would be a good one to summarize all the great works of art on display. The student art show typically shows a range of great art works, in different medias, from young emerging artists who are learning about the era they’re growing up in and their place in the world. “They’re thinking about globalization and visibility,” Kerr said. “There’s all kinds of media here.” The student art show will be on display in the Parrott Gallery on the top floor of the library until April 27. The show contains 54 pieces of art, completed by students at all eight high schools within the Hastings & Prince Edward District School Board. The work was completed by students in arts classes, ranging from Grade 9 to 12. There are painting, prints, sculptures and artworks that mix medias. Kerr said visitors who walk around the gallery this month will be taken back by the quality of the work and the stunning messages they deliver. “That’s the reason for art, to have an impact on others,” she said. “There’s depth to it.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Mike and Popi will be remembered at Quinte Restaurant

Dear Editor, This past week saw the retirement of Mike and Popi, the proprietors of the Quinte Restaurant of the past 30 years. Their restaurant was a landmark for lovers of Greek fare: homemade moussaka, dolmades (stuffed grape leaves), Baklava and produce from Popi’s home garden. This will be long-remembered. Happy retirement Mike and Popi. Carl V. Ehrke Belleville

Hospice Quinte gala surpasses $100,000 mark The above piece by Marika Tamura, titled Reality, is the promotional image for the student art show at the Belleville Public Library this month. To the left is a piece called Potluck, completed by several students from a Trenton High School ceramics class.

Belleville – The circus came a’ knocking and the Quinte region stepped right up, raising $101,163 for hospice palliative care services in the Belleville, Quinte West, and the south Hastings region. That’s the total number raised by the Hospice Quinte’s Under The Top gala fundraiser at the Belleville Armories on Saturday, April 1. More than 250 guests attended the event, which was made possible with the help of more than 50 volunteers. The event had a goal of raising $100,000.

Belleville Atom Bearcats win silver at provincial championships The Belleville Atom Bearcats girls hockey team completed their stellar season with a silver medal performance at the Ontario championships in the Toronto area on the weekend. They ended group stage play with a 1-1-1 record, with a 1-1 tie with North Halton, a 3-2 win over Aurora and a 4-3 loss to Sudbury. After Game 3 the Bearcats needed a miracle to move on. They required Aurora to tie North Halton. With two minutes left in that game the score was North Halton 2 and Aurora 0. The hockey Gods were smiling on the Bearcats, however, and Aurora scored two unanswered goals in the final seconds to tie the game 2-2. The miracle had happened and they were going to move on to the knockout stage. Unfortunately, due to their loss they would be seeded ninth out of the 10 remaining teams and have ar-

guably the hardest route to the finals. The top six seeds all received a bye to the quarterfinals. Seeds 7 through 10 would need to play to see who advanced. The Bearcats opponent would be the Huron Heat (14-4-4 record in regular season). It was an incredibly even game, but the Bearcats prevailed 1-0 to move on to the quarterfinal and send the Heat home. Now the lowest seed left in the tournament, the Bearcats, drew the No. 1 seed, the Ottawa Ice. Again, the teams battled evenly through the entire game, but it was the Bearcats who scored with 55 seconds remaining in the third to take the victory and move onto the semifinals. Next up were the Nepean Wildcats. Again the teams battled end to end and again it was the Bearcats taking the victory 1-0 to earn a trip to the

gold medal game against the Orillia Hawks. The final replaced the free-flowing, fast hockey of the previous games in the tournament with a gritty, physical, slower grinding style. The Hawks jumped out to a 2-0 lead after two periods, but the neversay-die Bearcats kept coming, beginning to take advantage of their speed and finesse against the much bigger and much more physical Orillia squad. Unfortunately, the Bearcats could only manage to get one goal past the Orillia netminder, and ended up losing 2-1. But the team returned to Belleville with the Ontario Women’s Hockey Association provincial silver medal and a banner to hang at the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre. The Belleville Atom Bearcats celebrate their silver medal from the

provincial championships. Submitted photo

McDougall Insurance Chargers Classic draws cream of high school rugby crop Belleville - From humble beginnings, the annual McDougall Insurance and Financial Chargers Classic boys rugby tournament is now one of the best in Ontario. The entry list for the 2017 event was filled in record time, says organizer Scott Ter Haar, and the quality of talent in the entries represents the cream of the high school rugby crop in Ontario. This year’s one-day tourney kicks off on

Thursday, May 4 at MAS Park and Ter Haar said he has already been contacted by several OUA and OCAA coaches who plan to scout the tournament to recruit potential university/college players. “Because we attract so many top-ranked Ontario high school teams, a lot of coaches at the university and college levels are coming out to scout athletes,” said Ter Haar.

Get ready to save on passes at Batawa Ski Hill next season BY ERIN STEWART

Batawa – After the success of the $99 night pass for the season, Batawa Ski Hill is planning to drop prices on all ski passes next year to encourage more people to get out on the slopes. “You’re going to see huge savings from previous years on night passes, season passes, family passes, everything,” said Hannah Brown, communications co-ordinator at Batawa Ski Hill.

The night passes were decreased from $129 to $99 for people purchasing before October 31, a deal many people couldn’t resist. About 1,300 people took advantage of the competitively priced night pass; a great jump from the pervious year’s 300 night passes sold, said Brown.“It was a much more affordable option, especially when we’re talking about young families coming out,” she said. “We definitely saw an increase in families here, which we love because it is a perfect

thing for people to do together.” There was also a positive response to the Après Ski events hosted at the hill, showcasing local wineries, breweries and specialty menus from chef Nicholas Loshak, said Brown. “They went awesome, we saw an average of about 200 people at each one and there were skiers but there was also lots of people just coming for the pub night which we thought was great too, we’d like to be a place you can think of as a great place to hangout in the winter,” she said.

Metroland asks readers to ‘spot the green dot’ at super mail box sites BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Metroland Media is asking readers from its communities to “spot the dot” and contribute to a cleaner environment. Special blue recycling boxes, with “green dot” stickers affixed to them, have recently been placed in 18 different neighbourhoods throughout this newspaper’s readership area. The “green dot” blue boxes have strategically been placed at Canada Post super mail box sites, where loose papers tend to tossed by some who discard it when going through their mail at the boxes. Metroland Media partnered with Quinte Waste Solutions and 2xtreme Signs and Graphics on this project, with the hope that it will encourage people to instead place loose papers or unwanted flyer mail in the recycling box to keep their neighbourhoods clean and green. Lorie Douglas, Metroland’s real estate sales executive, first thought of the idea when she noticed debris was consistently piling up around the mailbox area of her neighbourhood, at Massassauga Road and Peats Point, in Prince Edward County, just south of Belleville. The area has a Belleville News box and Douglas, as an employee of a company that distributes flyers, was concerned of the perception the newspaper group was could be seen as contributing to

Metroland’s Lorie Douglas holds the special “spot the dot” recycling box that readers might find at a Canada Post super mail box site near them. With her (to the left) is colleague Norah Nelson, and Shannon Hannah of 2xtreme Graphics and (to the right) Jeff Howard and Dan Orr of Quinte Waste Solutions. Stephen Petrick/Metroland

the problem. Instead of being seen as part of the problem, she proposed a solution. With the approval of Metroland Seaway

Region general manager Gavin Beer, she worked with Quinte Waste Solutions on a plan to get the recycling boxes out in several

neighbourhoods where debris is a concern. Quinte Waste Solutions provided the blue boxes and is also assuming the responsibility

of removing the material on normal blue box collection days. “We ask neighbourhoods to participate in the campaign with someone putting the box out on the designated day of pickup and someone to return it to the super mail box after collection,” said Douglas, who hopes a neighbourhood volunteer would prefer the smallish chore of transferring the box for collection is preferable to a litter-strewn neighbourhood. Douglas designed the logo for the project and Shannon Hannah, owner of 2xtreme Graphics, contributed to the project by printing the stickers for the boxes at no charge. The boxes were placed in the 18 trial locations last week and those working on the project say that so far it has been a success as it is already leading to cleaner environments. QWS staff say they’ve already received comments from callers who like the program. Metroland hopes to expand the “spot the dot” project into more neighbourhoods, at the request of readers. “We have started with 18 boxes in hopes that other neighbourhoods will contact us for to provide a box at their locations,” said Douglas. People interested in obtaining a recycling box for their neighbourhood can call Quinte Waste Solutions at 613-394-6266.

Savic again a multiple winner at Rotary Music Festival BY JACK EVANS

Belleville - For the second year in a row, Tabitha Savic, of Belleville, took several major awards at the closing “silver” competitions for the Quinte Rotary Music Festival. Competing in vocal solo, piano and strings (harp) the talented teenager won the silver tray for piano, the silver strings tray for harp and the Joe Demeza Trophy for best overall performance of the evening from a field of 10 competitors, including her own brother, David, who showed strongly in both piano and vocal categories. Asked about the sibling rivalry in such competitions, David commented: “We just don’t worry about that. We wish each other good luck and that’s the end of it.” Savic, a player with the Quinte Symphony, also competed in the string category with another young symphony player, Jeanette Huang, who gave a strong performance on the violin. Winner of the silver rose bowl for vocal solo this year went to Una Lajic, a close friend of Tabi Savic. The silver pitcher

for brass and woodwind competitors went to the lone entry, Tina Li of Belleville. Each of the top awards brings a $500 prize. The Joe Demeza award is worth $150. A modest crowd, mostly family and friends and Rotary officials, attended the evening which made an enjoyable concert for all as they witnessed professional musicians of the future at work. The vocal contest also saw a lone treble (boy soprano) entrant in the form of a talented

Andrew Powell, whose rendition of “Danny Boy” was popular with the audience. John Chisholm, chair of the festival on behalf of the three sponsoring clubs – Belleville, Quinte West and Quinte Sunrise, noted this was the 49th year of the festival. The festival still has one more major event to conclude it – the Concert of the Stars on Wednesday, April 19 at 7 p.m. in Albert College hall, when awards and prizes will be presented.

RCAF unveils the 2017 ‘Canada 150’ CF-18 demonstration Hornet BY ROSS LEES

The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) has unveiled the 2017 CF-18 Demonstration Jet celebrating Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation. The April 4 unveiling ceremony took place at 4 Wing Cold Lake, Alberta, where the jet has been hosted for the past few weeks. The 2017 Demonstration Pilot, Captain Matthew Kutryk, and the technicians and support staff of the 2017 Demonstration Team, attended the ceremony, as did local dignitaries and military members. “Seeing this incredible jet in person has made me even more motivated to share it with Canadians,” Capt. Kutryk said. “There will be no doubt during any of our stops this air show season that this jet represents Canada and the amazing year we are celebrating. I hope that this jet will inspire all Canadians to chase their dreams as I did because that is what Canada is all about.” The unveiling gave everyone in attendance a chance to see, for the first time, the 2017 paint scheme, which has the aircraft fully painted with a red and white design incorporating the Canada 150 logo. Painting the 2017 demonstration jet has been a team effort between 3 Wing Bagotville, Québec, which provided the jet and technicians to bring the design concept to life, and 4 Wing, which provided hangar space and support during the painting. “3 Wing is honoured to pro-

vide our aircraft as the 2017 Canada 150 Demonstration Jet,” said 3 Wing commander Colonel Darcy Molstad. “Our talented technicians have outdone themselves, taking what was once a graphic concept on paper and transforming it into an incredible final paint scheme for the CF-18. The teamwork required to get this jet painted is just one example of how Canadians can come together to produce a spectacular product. We cannot thank 4 Wing enough for their support during this process.” Throughout the year, DND and the CAF will support the Government of Canada’s celebration of Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation, participating in many events throughout the nation. The upcoming air show season is a special opportunity for the RCAF and the Dem-

onstration Team to join Canadians in celebrating shared values, achievements and Canada’s place in the world. “This incredible Canada 150 CF-18 Hornet is a shining example of the teamwork and professionalism that is embodied by the men and women of the RCAF,” said Major-General Christian Drouin, Commander, 1 Canadian Air Division/Canadian NORAD Region, “and is just one of the many ways that the men and women of the RCAF are working to honour their rich heritage, and commemorating the 150th Anniversary of the Confederation of Canada.” Quick Facts •This year, the Royal Canadian Air Force is joining the Government of Canada in commemorating the 150th

anniversary of the Confederation of Canada. Specifically, the RCAF will honour the history of the Canadian Armed Forces, including the RCAF, as a part of Canada’s proud history. •The specially-painted CF-18 Hornet features the official logo for “Canada 150” placed throughout the design. The logo is composed of a series of diamonds, or “celebratory gems”, arranged in the shape of the iconic maple leaf. The four diamonds at the base represent the four original provinces that formed Confederation in 1867: Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Additional diamonds extend out from the base to create nine more points. Together, they symbolize Canada’s 13 provinces and territories. On the left wing, the timespan of Confederation is shown with the year of Confederation, 1867, and the 150th anniversary year – 2017. The right wing bears the official name of the celebration – “Canada 150”. All aspects of the design come together to create a truly unique and fitting tribute to this important year in Canada’s history.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

No apology needed, Todd Dear Editor, Re: Editorial March 30 “No problem with zeal, but Smith ought to apologize” Apology required all right, from Kathleen Wynne, not from MPP Todd Smith. My thanks to Todd Smith for calling out the Liberal government on

its continuing self-interest and incompetence with regard to the mess at Ontario Hydro. If we had more elected representatives with the integrity and backbone to speak up, perhaps this province wouldn’t be in such financial disorder. D. Cailes Belleville

8 Wing Leadership Forum helps military to recognize positive influences BY ROSS LEES

CFB Trenton - Two military veterans who went on to lengthy careers in civilian life after distinguished careers in the military were the guest speakers at the 8 Wing Leadership Forum last week. Ninety-seven-year-old Russell Bannock, who retired from DeHavilland as President and Chief Executive Officer, served three years at Canadian Forces Station (CFS) Trenton at the beginning of his military career. Pat Daily, now the President of Convergence Performance, a company he started in the United States, spent 12 years of active duty service and 18 years as a reserve officer in the United States Air Force (USAF), where he flew as an operational pilot in F-4 and F-16 aircraft. He is a graduate of and later instructed at the USAF Test Pilot School, Pat Daily used an animated and professional presentation to keep his where he has flown and evaluated more than 60 types of military audience engaged at the 8 Wing Leadership Forum last week, aircraft, instructed US and allied pilots in upset recovery techniques (in a variety of aircraft) and is a member of the March 30. Society of Experimental Test Pilots. by Ross Lees

Both men stressed that the path to military and civilian leadership should not be strewn with woefully inadequate low expectations, but that those working their way up in any chain of command need to know what “better” looks like to succeed. “Good leadership gets the right people in the right place at the right time,” Bannock told his large audience at the Astra Lounge on March 30. In his introduction of Bannock, 8 Wing Commander Colonel Colin Keiver described the veteran as a “distinguished Canadian aviator.” A key to Bannock’s civilian management style was to keep his employees in good health and get well-qualified management in place. He also felt not enough students were graduating from technical colleges to fill the demand at DeHavilland. Bannock felt leadership in the military and the civilian side faced the same problem if they did not lead well – they would get moved out. “As a manager, you have to lead and get the people to work for you,” he said, adding that money is most often the best motivating factor. Bannock was the Commanding Officer of 418 Mosquito Intruder Squadron and 406 Mosquito NF and Intruder Squadron, and he spent one year in Arnprior as a flight instructor. He worked for 25 years with De Havilland, starting as Chief Test Pilot and is noted for being the first man in the world to fly a De Havilland Beaver. He has over 7,000 flying hours in the Beaver and only got rid of his last one four years ago, although he still flies his son’s aircraft. Pat Daily, in a spectacular civilian career, has flown for American Airlines, Texas Air Aces, Aviation Safety Training (advanced manoeuvering and upset recovery). Prior to founding Convergent Performance, he was the director of Honeywell’s Defense and Space Electronics Systems at Johnson Space Center where he managed the steam to glass program for the space shuttle as well as managed and provided guidance for navigation and control projects for the International Space Station, and the space shuttle. There are four levels of professionals, according to Daily – those who reflect professionalism, those who comply with the rules of professionalism, the fully energized expert doing the best they can to reach their full potential, and the game changer, the professionals that change the way things are done and make it better for others. Daily pointed out a couple of things others in the audience may have noticed, including that the person teaching someone else is often helped to get better in the process. “The person giving help benefits from the person receiving help,” he said. There were a couple of pitfalls Daily warned professions to avoid – the arrogance which prevents a professional from recognizing a need to get better and he also stated that what professionals do not do in their careers impacts their professional path. Daily advised professionals to seek information where they could and take advantage of the sources available to them. “Sometimes, all we need is somebody to show us that better is possible,” he added. Adding some humour to his presentation, Daily advised all professionals to avoid the mediocrity of the lollipop, or they will suck forever. Brutal honesty is also necessary for professionals as they do the work while climbing the professional ladder, he said. “Sometimes people just don’t want to face reality,” he said, adding that shared adversity can often be very rewarding. “Training is critical in all endeavours but you should also stop while you still care about how you are doing your job.” Daily told up and coming leaders to expect a fight, because often people don’t want to be told how bad they are doing. At the same time, professionals should never be afraid of getting better. “In that regard, remove the barriers that keep your people from getting better,” he added. “Work together for systemic improvement. And when you see improvement, celebrate it!” His final piece of advice was that when a professional is presented with a mentoring moment, “…seize it and make that person better. Find what better looks like and then engage the group.”

Local author Simpson launches historical tome April 22 BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Belleville—An officer, a reprobate and a Royal Marine during the Napoleonic Wars, the life of Captain Charles MacDonald reads like an adventure novel. But Soldier, Settler Sinner by Jane Simpson is a true story about one of the most colourful people ever to live in Hastings County. At an event to be hosted by the Hastings County Historical Society, Simpson will launch her new book about this unusual man on Saturday, April 22, between 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. in the Manly MacDonald Gal-

lery at the Belleville Library. She also will be at Chapters in Belleville from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. the following day to sign copies of her book. Simpson, who now lives in Kanata, was born in Belleville and attended high school in Tweed. She spent many summers with her grandparents in Point Anne, a village south of Belleville and the birthplace of painter Manley MacDonald. “It took me around two years to write the book and publish it,” Simpson said. “He (Captain MacDonald) was a bit of a rogue who surprised

me at every turn. This fellow was also the ancestor of Manly MacDonald, so it’s great we are holding the book launch in the Manly MacDonald room at the Library.” She said MacDonald fathered 17 children with several different women, leaving many of his descendants in Hastings County. She herself is the greatgreat-great granddaughter of Charles MacDonald. But the amazing thing is that this man lived long enough to father any children, let alone 17. “He cheated death during a succession of dangerous situa-

tions, such as island battles in the Caribbean, outbreaks of tropical disease, mutiny, hazardous sea voyages, and a cholera outbreak in Quebec City upon arrival in the new world,” she said. The book features photographs encompassing the Captain’s life in England, the West Indies and the shores of the Bay of Quinte, and includes a foreword by Vern Whalen, author of Point Anne: History of a

Cement Factory Village. Simpson said she was adamant that the book be locally produced. “The book designer was Jozef VanVeenen (of) Tikit Visuals from Belleville,” she said. “The editor was Orland French from Belleville and the book is being printed by Steve Campbell from County Magazine in Bloomfield.” Simpson is a retired nurse

who has held administrative positions in health care and lectured at the University of Ottawa. She is a lifetime member of the Hastings County Historical Society, a member of the Marilyn Adam Genealogy Research Centre and a member of the Capital Crime Writers in Ottawa.

People First holds rally protesting picketers in front of homes BY JOHN CAMPBELL

CampbellfordÂ â&#x20AC;&#x201D; People with intellectual disabilities who have been pulled into the middle of contract negotiations between Community Living Campbellford/Brighton and unionized workers held a rally April 8 to say they've had enough. They and their supporters gathered at Old Mill Park to protest having group homes picketed by members of Ontario Public Service Employees Union Local 316 who have been on strike since March 22. It's â&#x20AC;&#x153;shameful and horrible,â&#x20AC;? said Kory Earle, past-president of People First of Ontario. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If there is a problem between employees and employers, take it to your employer's office, not the people you are paid to support. They haven't done anything wrong.â&#x20AC;? Seeing staff outside their homes is â&#x20AC;&#x153;confusing and scaryâ&#x20AC;? for them, he said. The residents â&#x20AC;&#x153;are being used as pawnsâ&#x20AC;? in labour talks, he charged. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can never justify picketing in front of people's home, it is plain wrong,â&#x20AC;? Earle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Enough is enough. We are demanding OPSEU union workers do the right thing: Stop picketing people's homes.â&#x20AC;? His plea was echoed by Jennifer Grol, who heads People First Northumberland, and Nadine Lafrance,

A rally was held Saturday at Old Mill Park to protest striking OPSEU workers setting up pickets in front of homes where people with intellectual disabilities reside. John Campbell/Metroland

president of People First of Lanark. Grol said she's not against people striking or picketing in front of an office, but not in front of people's homes, "it's very wrong.â&#x20AC;? Lafrance called it â&#x20AC;&#x153;unfair.â&#x20AC;? Dufferin-Caledon MPP Sylvia Jones sent a letter relaying her â&#x20AC;&#x153;best wishesâ&#x20AC;? for the rally. She has tried for years to have her private member's bill passed that would prohibit picketing of supportive-group homes where people with developmental

disabilities reside. Earle called on Premier Kathleen Wynne to â&#x20AC;&#x153;stand upâ&#x20AC;? for people with intellectual disabilities and put a stop to the pickets in front of people's homes, which are meant to be a sanctuary and â&#x20AC;&#x153;safe place.â&#x20AC;? Courtney Huycke, chief steward with the union local and a member of the bargaining committee, said the union won a court case several years ago affirming its members' legal right to picket in front of their

â&#x20AC;&#x153;workplace.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is why we're picketing in front of the homes ... that's where we work,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a very respectful picket line,â&#x20AC;? OPSEU Local 316 president Shawn Devries said. He reiterated the union's opposition to Community Living's demand that OPSEU members use their own vehicles to transport residents when requested. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We've always had the opportu-

nity to say no,â&#x20AC;? he said. The agency has 13 vehicles available to take the people it serves on trips for medical appointments, volunteer opportunities or recreational outings, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;it's first come, first served,â&#x20AC;? Devries said, and with 140 people to support, workers are often called upon to use their own cars. If they are compelled to do so, it will add $500 to their auto insurance premium, Devries said. Some insurance companies have said they will drop them as clients, because of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;huge liability,â&#x20AC;? Huycke added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we get in an accident with someone in our vehicles, their families can sue us.â&#x20AC;? OPSEU has 64 contracts in Ontario's developmental services sector, and only two of them require employees to use their cars, Devries said. The workers began their strike March 22. Local 316 represents 91 employees; 71 of the 83 who voted on the first contract offer rejected it. A bargaining session was held March 28 and another was scheduled for Monday, April 10. Community Living has offered a 20-cent hourly increase as well as a lump-sum payment of $750. The workers are paid between $18 and $25 an hour.

Belleville singer advances to semifinal round of country talent search BY BILL FREEMAN

Bethany — Belleville’s Dustin Bird has busted through to the semifinal round of the Next Country Music Star Talent Search. The acclaimed talent show, hosted by The Ranch resort in Bethany in partnership with the Havelock Country Jamboree, is one of the most sought-after performance gigs in the southern Ontario and has helped launch the careers of a number of rising stars including last year’s winner Sacha Visagie, who grew up in Warkworth and has been wowing audiences across Ontario. The winners from each round advance to the April 22 semifinals along with three wild card selections. Ten performers move on to the

final round of judging. Bird topped the sold-out opening round on March 18, advancing to the semifinals along with wild card pick Alessia Cohle from Toronto. On hand for opening night were Havelock Jamboree owners Ed Leslie and Paula Chopik, with Peterborough musician Jan Schoute; Sylvia Mason, of Catherine Faint Entertainment; Jen Goheen of Havelock Jamboree; and booking manager and stage manager Bruce Sutton. Bird’s “near-perfect performance captivated everyone,” said Jane Doidge of The Ranch Resort. “Dustin took everyone on a journey inviting every one of us into his set.” Cohle’s set was equally impressive. “She and her band put on a performance that generally isn’t seen

except on a big stage in front of a very large crowd,” said Doidge. Also performing on opening night were Dave Bush of Stirling, The Roy Borden Jr. band of Belleville, and Nicole Mastrangelo of Peterborough. Winning the March 25 round was The Greg Williams Band out of Toronto with Cameron von Criegern of Peterborough earning a wildcard spot. Also on stage were The Next Generation Seaboyer Band from Havelock, John Anderson from Barrie, Country Spice from Durham Region, and Stirling’s Rob Donaldson.

Annual jazz fest focuses on 150th birthday celebrations BY JACK EVANS

Like Canada’s Sesquicentennial, this year brings some significant anniversaries for the jazz world, a press conference at Huff’s Estates Winery last week was told. The event was to unveil plans for the 17th annual Prince Edward County Jazz Festival, Aug.15-20 at venues throughout the county and featuring some of the best jazz musicians on the planet. Festival Chair, John Puddy, of Hillier, noted the event has become “one of the most highlyJohn Puddy, left, chair of the annual Prince Edward respected mainstream jazz festiCounty Jazz Festival and Brian Barlow creative di- vals in Canada” and stated: “This year will clearly establish the fesrector, display a poster for the annual festival. Jack Evans/Metroland tival as the number one producer

of world-class, live jazz entertainment in a part of Ontario becoming well-known not only for its wine and cuisine, but also for its creative contributions to Canadian culture.” Brian Barlow, Creative Director, noted that Canada and Canadians have made significant contributions to jazz, including providing some of the best jazz artists in North America. Historically 2017 marks the 100th anniversary of the first jazz recording, “Lively Stable Blues” by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band. “And what a year 1917 was for important birthdays,” he added.

Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonius Monk and more, were all born in that year. The work of these centenary artists will be recognized in this season’s concerts. Another salute to Canada’s 150 will take the form of a presentation based on Canadian jazz artists who have received the Order of Canada for their talents, including Quinte area horn player Guido Basso, plus Don Thompson, piano and vibes, Dave Young, bass and Terry Clarke, drums. That will be Saturday, Aug. 19 in The Regent Theatre. The kick-off event in Baxter Hall, Bloomfield, will be “One Hundred Years of Jazz, a joint presentation by Brian Barlow and Andy Sparling,” free admission. Another major

change is the inclusion of a “featured artist” at concerts throughout the week. This year, it will be jazz violinist Drew Jerecka, who claims Stephane Grapelli as his inspiration. The festival will continue to feature main stream concerts at The Regent and St. Mary Magdalene Church plus lounges and dineries around the county, open air concerts and after-hours entertainment. Full details remain to be completed before the festival launches on Tuesday, Aug. 16, with the Baxter Hall presentation. Puddy also noted that after 16 years of being under the wing of the Prince Edward County Arts Council, this year the festival is now its own not-for-profit operation.

Canada’s 150th barbershop style If you enjoy a lusty all male choir singing some of your favourite songs, then circle Saturday evening, April 29 on your calendar for the annual A Cappella Quinte show at Belleville’s Maranatha Church auditorium. The more-than-30 voices in the chorus will be boosted by Belleville’s own nationally-acclaimed talent, Jeanette Arsenault, whose hit national song, “This Is My Canada” will bring this exciting concert to a close. Other songs on the program include the beautiful East Coast folk ballad, “Song for the Mira,” the iconic Leonard Cohen hit, “Hallelujah,” the folk song hit , “Fare Thee Well Love,” and a hilarious comedy skit

OUTSTANDING CRAFTSMANSHIP

based on the musical ballad, “The Shooting of Dan McGrew.” Take a road trip with the chorus around Canada with “Let’s Get Away from it All,” or even around Prince Edward County with “County Roads”with paraphrased words. Tickets at $20, ($10 for youth) are available from chorus members, the Quinte Arts Council office or at the door. Show time is 7:31 p.m. so it won’t be a late night. This is your chance to hear A Cappella’s enlarged chorus’s new sound and meet our new chorus director, Patrick Headley of Bloomfield. It will also be a great way to celebrate Canada’s Sesquicentennial.

Public can comment on Bay of Quinte cleanup process BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – For decades it has been a pollution hotspot; a body of water that no person should swim in and certainly not drink water from. But after 30 years of work by environmentalists, the Bay of Quinte is close to no longer being considered an area of concern within the Great Lakes. Officials are ready to start the process of changing the status on three remaining environmental challenges for the bay to unimpaired. The challenges related to fish populations, habitat and underwater bugs have all met the scientific criteria necessary to change their status, said the Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan Restoration Council, an organization that works with senior governments to clean up the bay. However, an integral part of this

process is public consultation, the council says. It’s asking people to email comments about whether they support or don’t support a recommendation to change the status on these environmental challenges to unimpaired. Comments can be sent to smidlanejones@ bqrap.ca by Friday, May 5. But it’s clear to officials who’ve worked on the waterway that the Bay of Quinte has come a long way and is as clean as it’s ever been in recent history. Efforts to clean up the Bay of Quinte can be traced back to 1984, when the International Joint Water Commission was formed with support from the Canada and the United States, to work on environmental cleanups. At that time, the Bay of Quinte had 84 items on a check list that environmentalists needed to complete for it to be removed as an area of concern.

But today, by all accounts, the bay has healthy fish populations and once again serves a lucrative tourism industry that caters to boaters, anglers and anyone who loves water. “Today, the Bay of Quinte is a healthy and vibrant ecosystem, wellknown for its world-class walleye and bass fishery,” said Terry Murphy, the general manager of Quinte Conservation and the co-chair for the restoration council. “Reaching this milestone, in rehabilitating the Bay, is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our federal, provincial, and municipal partners, as well as, industry, agriculture, the public and local conservation authorities.” The BQRAP Restoration Council has approved the environmental challenges related to fish populations and habitat and underwater bugs be circulated for a 30-day public comment

period. The council will review and address all comments. Next, the reports will be sent to Environment and Climate Change Canada and the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change for final review. At this stage, additional technical review or specific work can be requested, or the reports will be approved. Once approved, the reports are sent to the governments of Canada and Ontario to seek formal concurrence on the status change. Once both governments agree, the three environmental challenges will be considered unimpaired. “These are exciting times for the Bay of Quinte Restoration Council,” said Glenda Rogers, the Chief Administrative Officer of Lower Trent Conservation and the other council co-chair. “After several decades of reha-

bilitating the Bay we are able to start the process to change the status for a number of the environmental challenges. Now, we must ensure strategies are in place, so the Bay doesn’t back slide to conditions that required a remedial action plan in the first place.” All eleven environmental challenges attributed to the Bay of Quinte have to undergo this process to have their status changed to unimpaired. When this process is complete, the Bay of Quinte can be taken off the Great Lakes Areas of Concern list. In 2016, the environmental challenges – restrictions on dredging activities and fish tumours and other deformities – were sent to the federal and provincial governments for formal acceptance of their status change. The final reports and supporting information can be found on the BQRAP web site www.bqrap.ca.

Marmora and Lake council votes to appeal Crowe Valley levy BY SUE DICKENS

Marmora — Marmora and Lake Council is saying no to the 2017 Crowe Valley Conservation Authority (CVCA) levy of a 12. 8 per cent increase and has voted to appeal. The increase in the levy had been approved at the CVCA’s last meeting, but not unanimously. The authority decided to create two budgets, one for operations and one for capital expenditures, a first for the board. Ten municipalities are represented on the authority and three no-votes were recorded at the CVCA meeting when the operations budget, at a six

per cent increase, was put on the table. The capital budget of 6.8 per cent was approved unanimously and both were sent to the municipalities for consideration. At the time of the CVCA recorded vote, Vice-Chair Ron Gerow, mayor of the Township of Havelock-BelmontMethuen (HBM), and board member Terry Clemens, mayor of the Municipality of Marmora and Lake, as well as board member Irene Martin, representing the Township of Tudor and Cashel, all voted against the operations budget increase. On April 4 at their regular council

meeting, Marmora and Lake voted unanimously to move forward with an appeal, which will be filed to the Mining and Lands Commissioner as appointed under the ministry of natural resources act. Included in council’s recommendation was a direction that the Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen’s solicitor, M. John Ewart, file the appeal under the Conservation Authorities Act. Commenting on the authority’s 2017 levy, Deputy Mayor Linda Bracken pointed out: “This equates to a total budget increase of 30 per cent over the five years for the operating budget

alone.” Mayor Clemens was not at the council meeting. Marmora council also voted to “engage the services of Collins Barrow to carry out a financial review of the conservation authority’s 2017 budget.” The council formally requested that the township of HBM share 50 per cent of the legal and auditing costs. The township has agreed to pay “their share of the cost” of the appeal. “We were down to our last straw with this,” said councillor Sandy Fraser, Marmora’s rep on the authority board.

“We tried everything to get this turned around and we have nowhere else to go to get this thing turned around.” Deputy Mayor Bracken added: “I don’t think any taxpayer wants to pay 12 per cent.” It was also pointed out during the council discussion that there are 10 municipalities represented on the CVCA board and that HBM and Marmora and Lake pay 54 per cent of the Crowe Valley levy with the other eight paying 46 per cent. “And we each just have one vote,” noted Fraser.

Community Trees 2017: Free seedlings for Hastings residents Since 2006, the Community Trees program has handed out 60,000 tree seedlings to residents of Hastings County. The Hastings Stewardship Council (HSC), with support from municipal councils, has provided this free service to landowners. In April, trees will again be available at no charge for residents of Hastings. The initiative is designed to encourage residents to plant native trees in appropriate locations: for example, as windbreaks and shade for homes. This helps to reduce energy use and save money on heating and cooling. Trees help clean our air and water, and add habitat for our wildlife. As a result of the emerald ash borer, significant tree losses are predicted (10-15% in most communities) in the near future. Our urban trees and woodlots are under stress due to our changing climate with more droughts Seedlings such as this will be available free of charges for and extreme weather events. residents of Hastings County April 22 and 29.

He said there will be 26 sites, including porches at homes and businesses such as Greenhawk that have verandas, plus parking lots and, if the Township approves, at the Covered Bridge. In addition to the Saturday event, which will be held on May 27, this year's Shenanigans will include a dance the night before at the Stirling Arena and a gospel show on the Sunday. While the dance tickets are $10 each, Saturday and Sunday events are free and suitable for all ages, he said. “People loved it (last year) because it was family-friendly,” Bush added.

Quinte Symphony joins with Sultans of String

BY JACK EVANS

If you like your symphonic music with plenty of zest, then the Quinte Symphony’s concert on Sunday, May 7 is for you. Special guests for this final regular concert of the season will be the spirited Juno award-winning ensemble, Sultans of String, for a delightful afternoon of music in Picton’s Regent Theatre. The Sultans have achieved widespread fame and popularity for their eclectic and polished sounds, particularly from strings. With their genre-hopping passport of Celtic reels, flamenco, Gypsy jazz, Arabic, Cuban and South Asian rhythms, the group celebrates musical fusion and

human creativity with warmth and virtuosity. Title of the concert is “Fiddler on the Loose,” so it will be a case of “fasten your seatbelt.” Under Maestro Dan Tremblay , the orchestra, replete with their new four-piece solid copper kettle drum set, will open the concert with an exciting piece called “Changes,” by Canadian composer Clifford Crawley. Crawley was a former conductor of the orchestra when it was still the Eastern Ontario Concert Orchestra. Quinte Symphony last played The Regent several years ago and both players and audience were amazed at the quality of sound the classic old theatre provided. Quinte Symphony now embraces close to 45 players, spanning Oshawa to Kingston, but mostly from the Quinte area. Formed originally as The Eastern Ontario Concert Orchestra in 1960, it continues to delight audiences of many hundreds and all ages, as well as offer opportunities for area amateur and professional musicians to hone or maintain their skills, including young people. For an idea of what the orchestra sounds like, visit <thequintesymphony.com.> Tickets at the usual prices, $25 adult, $20 for seniors and $10 for students, apply, available by telephone or on line from the Regent Theatre, telephone (613) 476-8416. (NOTE: Because the concert is in a private theatre, the theatre is in charge of box office and ticket sales. Therefore no tickets are being sold through outlets other than the Regent. Tickets will continue to be available at the door and season tickets will be honoured.)

Peterborough — A man from Trent Hills and a woman form Havelock-Belmont-Methuen have been charged following an arrest by a combined joint forces investigation. They two have been arrested by the community street crime unit composed of detectives from the Peterborough County detachment and Northumberland detachment of the OPP. The arrests happened April 5. Police had conducted a compliance check on the woman accused and found her to be breaching her release conditions by being out after curfew. She was located after a traffic stop on Northumberland County Road 8 in the Municipality of Trent Hills. There were two occupants inside the 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee, which was reported stolen from the Toronto region. Inside the vehicle, police located additional stolen property (car keys and a dealer plate) linked to a break-in at Earl Ireland's car lot reported earlier in the week. Drugs were also seized in the search of the stolen auto and the people inside. As a result Jennifer Alisha Bridges, 36, of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Township, has been charged with: failure to comply with probation order; possession of property obtained by crime over $5000 (stolen Grand Cherokee); possession of property obtained by crime under $5000 (car keys and licence plate linked to Earl Ireland break in); possession of a controlled substance (marijuana); possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine). Robert James Prevost, 36, of Trent Hills, has been charged with: failure to comply with probation order (contact with Jennifer Bridges); possession of property obtained by crime over $5000 (stolen Grand Cherokee); possession of property obtained by crime under $5000 (car keys and licence plate linked to Earl Ireland break in). The two accused were scheduled to appear in the Ontario court of justice in Peterborough for a show cause hearing on April 6.

Hastings — It’s fitting that Canada’s 150th anniversary and iconic 19th century Canadian author Catherine Parr Traill should come together in a special celebratory evening hosted by the Hastings Branch Library April 27. The library welcomes back Joyce Higgs, a founding member and former chair of the Friends of the Hastings Library, to talk about Traill’s brilliant book Canadian Wildflowers published during the infant days of Confederation in 1868, 52 years after her deservedly praised landmark The Backwoods of Canada. We admire Traill for Canadian Wildflowers and Plant Life in Canada but also for her seminal 1836 work The Backwoods of Canada and the window it opened into the hard life of a pioneer woman making her way in an unforgiving, but gloriously beautiful country. “It was very hostile, such hardships that they faced, we have no idea,” says Higgs, “She talked about her burdens, the flowers she was fond of, what she was learning from the First Nations on how to use plants. “She found that she was very unprepared when she arrived here, but made a good life and lived until she was 97,” Higgs adds. Her book The Female Emigrants Guide was a way of counteracting the “rosy” picture some English promoters used to encourage emigration. “Leave the china at home, bring seeds, bring nuts, bring warm mittens.” Traill was a pioneering woman, literary figure and careful observer of nature and life in the “backwoods.” “What she wrote will resonate with gardeners today.” The talk will be at the Hastings Civic Centre starting at 7 p.m. Light refreshments will be served. Free-will donations will be gratefully accepted.

OBITUARY

In Loving memory of a wife, mother, sister and friend whom lost her battle with cancer April 16, 2012. Her strength carries on in the people that loved her, still upholding her motto “Falling down is part of Life, Getting up is Living” Forever Loved, missed and always in our Hearts and Thoughts. Love Mike, Mackenzie, Clayton and Family.

888.967-3237

They say memories are golden Well maybe that is true We never wanted memories We only wanted you A million times we needed you A million times we cried If love alone could have saved you You would have never died In life we loved you dearly In death we love you still In our hearts you hold a place No one could ever fill If tears could build a stairway And heartaches make a lane We’d walk the path to heaven And bring you back again Calm and peaceful they are sleeping Sweetest rest that follows pain We who loved them sadly miss them And trust in God to meet again Sadly missed – Francis Family

What moves through us is a silence, Quite sadness, A longing for one more day, One more word, One more touch, We may not understand why you left this earth so soon Or why you left before we were ready to say goodbye But little by little We begin to remember not just that you died But that you lived And that your life gave us memories Too beautiful to forget When the joys are still remembered But the sorrow has quietly gone There will always be a special place In our hearts where you live on Forever remembered and forever loved Missy, Sherri, and Kim

CHRISTOPHER ROBERTS July 2, 1974 - April 15, 2004

If we could bring you back again, For one more hour or day, We’d express all our unspoken love; We’d have countless things to say. If we could bring you back again, We’d say we treasured you, And that your presence in our lives Meant more than we ever knew. If we could bring you back again, To tell you what we should, You’d know how much we miss you now, And if we could, we would. Love Mom & Dad. Section B - Thursday, April 13, 2017 B17

TRAVEL

All Aboard Arizona’s Verde Canyon Railroad BY JOHN M. SMITH

When I was in Sedona, Arizona, I decided to drive to nearby historic Clarkdale and take the 4-hour, 20 mi./33 km. trip to the Perkinsville ghost ranch and back. After all, this trip would take me through some rugged wilderness and spectacular red rock country that’s only accessible by rail. I thought that it would be a wonderful way to explore Arizona’s “other grand canyon”. Indeed, this route proved to be remote and yet breathtakingly beautiful. My tour began at the train depot in Clarkdale, where I found the Copper Spike Café, the Whistlestop Shop, and the Boxcar Gift Store. I also found several storyboards installed along the depot’s loading platform. These gave me details about the history of this railroad and its vintage locomotives and historic rail cars. Some of these storyboards also provided details of my upcoming journey, including plants and animals that I might see along the way. I also visited the depot’s John Bell Museum, where the railroad’s history and artifacts (including switch locks and lanterns) were housed in an old boxcar. I discovered that there were several seating options on this historic train, for Coach Class ($64.95) provided traditional Pullman-style seating, while First Class ($89.95) offered more space per passenger and more comfortable seating, even with couches (it was much like being in your living room) – and it included a champagne toast and complimentary appetizers. Yet another option for a group (up to 6) was to reserve the caboose ($700.00), or an individual could even choose to ride up in the locomotive with the engineer and conductor ($700.00, including lunch and a photo of you with the crew). I also found out that both Coach Class and First Class also provided separate open-air viewing cars, so it was as if each guest had two seats for the price of one (the canopied cars also had benches to sit on, and allowed the passenger to be out in the fresh air, surrounded by the grandeur of the canyon landscape). My particular First Class coach was named Sycamore, and next to it was the Camp Verde coach, our viewing platform. This gave us passengers the option of taking photos from either inside or outside, and the train’s slow speed (about 10 mph) made it easy to get those photos. Our journey was accompanied by occasional narratives about upcoming points of interest, and when no one was

talking to us, then various railroad songs would be played, including Gordon Lightfoot’s classic: There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun Long before the white man, and long before the wheel When the green dark forest was too silent to be real But time has no beginnings and history has no bound As to this verdant country they came from all around

They sailed upon her waterways and they walked the forests tall Built the mines, the mills and the factories for the good of us all Ironically, Lightfoot was talking specifically about the Canadian railroad in his song, but it seemed to apply just fine here. After all, the Verde Canyon Railroad was built because of the area’s mining industry, particularly nearby Jerome’s copper mine and Clarkdale’s smelter. The route included a 680 foot man-made tunnel that was cut right through the rock and some high railroad bridges, and we encountered these

on our excursion. When the mines eventually shut down, many of the little communities in this area became not much more than ghost towns – and the train route was no longer a necessity. However, it was decided that this area was simply too scenic to simply abandon. Therefore, the COACH train route was revitalized as a tourist attraction – and it has been running

through this canyon in this capacity since 1990. On our particular excursion, we followed the Verde River for much of the time, crossed it via trestles, passed several eagles’ nests, and encountered some towering red rock pinnacles along our way. When we eventually reached the end of the line, in Perkinsville, there wasn’t much to see except the remnants of the old depot and some grazing cattle. Apparently this land is still owned by the Perkins family, but there’s no village or any fancy houses to be seen here. The land is simply used for pasture. Our locomotive was detached, turned around on a turntable, taken to the other end of our train on a separate rail line, and then re-connected, now next to the caboose, for our return trip. We stayed aboard during this process, for there really wasn’t anywhere to go. One interesting phenomenon that I noticed on the return trip to Clarkdale was that the atmosphere on the train seemed much more subdued. That first glimpse of the newly anticipated sights just down the track or around the next curve had already been experienced – and the majority of stunning photos had already been taken. Passengers seemed more content now to simply relax, put away the camera, and just enjoy the view. Some even had a nap!

The Good Earth More spring tasks to ready the garden, lawn

Dan Clost

Some times it works out. Last week’s column talked about wet soil and warned that frost was still on the way. On the day of publication, 29.9mm of total precipitation sluiced down upon us. The evening afterwards, the temps dipped to well below freezing; low enough that we had to cover leafedout shrubs at the nursery with frost blankets. Gentle Reader, it is always a bit of a mug’s game trying to predict weather a week or so in advance so when it does work out right, one feels pretty

good. Next time we meet, feel free to give me a pat on the back, my own elbow is a bit sore at the moment:) This column will be published in the middle of Aprilstill a titch early for much lawn work; however, there are some who hold with the phenological (study of the relationship of climate to cyclical biological events) dictum: when the yellow forsythia blooms it is time to fertilize the lawn. The caveat here is to find out where this particular saying arose. In our areas (Quinte West and
