Whitby man arrested in QSS shooting, bank robbery investigation

By Stephen Petrick

Belleville – An arrest has been made following the investigation into a bizarre high school shooting and bank robbery that shocked Belleville last month.

Zak Bayfield, 40, of Whitby was arrested by police in Toronto, where he faces more than 30 charges.

Police in Belleville, Toronto, York, Halton and Cobourg all contributed to the investigation, which followed the March 10 incident in Belleville.

On that day, police were called to Quinte Secondary School at about 2 p.m. on reports of a firearm being discharged in the school.

Then, at 2:05 p.m., the RBC Royal Bank on Front Street was robbed at gunpoint.

Belleville police later concluded that the school shooting was a tactic to divert police away from the bank.

No one was injured in either incident, but cash was taken from the bank.

Belleville Police announced the arrest at a press conference on Thursday, April 14.

Insp. Mike Callaghan said Bayfield appeared for a remand hearing at a Toronto court that morning. He remains in custody.

Six of the charges he faces were laid by Belleville police. They include robbery with a firearm, use of a firearm in a commission of an offence, pointing a firearm, discharging a firearm with intent, carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a firearm for a dangerous purpose.

In addition he faces five counts of robbery while armed with a firearm, robbery, five counts of disguise with intent, five counts of use of a firearm in commission of an offence, five counts of careless use of a firearm and five counts of careless storage of a firearm.

The charges laid by Belleville police may require Bayfield to appear before a Belleville court later,

but ultimately that will depend on the Crown prosecutor, Callaghan said.

The inspector thanked the public for support during the investigation and said that a tip line that was set up for the investigation received numerous calls, which led police to an arrest.

“There were a lot of pieces put into the puzzle,” he said.

Callaghan, who recently came to the Belleville police following 30 years of police service in Ottawa, said that the March 10 was shocking.

While diversion tactics are not uncommon in larger cities, “in a medium size city it’s unheard of,” he said.

“We’re incredibly pleased to announce the suspect is in custody,” Callaghan said. “This robbery and shooting made a lot of people nervous.”

On March 21, it became apparent the investigation was widening, as police issued a media release stating they believed the suspect wasn’t acting alone.

An image of a suspect, who police believe robbed a bank in Markham on March 4 using similar tactics, was released.

Callaghan said he has no information on that suspect, as the investigation into that robbery is still be handled by York Regional Police.

He also said other recent bank robberies in Belleville – including one that occurred at the downtown Scotiabank on Thursday, April 7 are unrelated to the March 10 incident.

The suspect for the April 7 robbery is still on the loose. The robbery occurred at about 10 a.m. but involved no injuries and no weapon was seen.

Callaghan said these types of robberies are concerning and they should serve as a reminder to citizens to watch for suspicious behaviour and report concerns to police.

“It’s a critical reason why police need to be vigi- Belleville Police Insp. Mike Callaghan speaks to media on Thursday, April 14.

Robbery suspect has history of subterfuge

By Chris Malette The suspect in the Quinte Secondary School gunfire incident and subsequent bank holdup in downtown Belleville has a history of disguise and subterfuge, completely unrelated to robbing banks.

Zak Bayfield, 40, – the man alleged by police to have held up a string of banks and a money exchange outlet between February and March of this year – was formerly known as Zak Bayat. He legally changed his name to Zak Alastair Bayfield in July, 2006, while variously representing himself as a licensed medical doctor or a licensed physiotherapist.

It has also been learned Bayat was charged and convicted for practising medicine as a commissioned officer – a captain – in the armed forces at CFB Petawawa in 2007.

In news reports at the time, Bayfield was discovered by military investigators to have had an educational residency licence while studying medicine at University of Western Ontario, but that certificate had expired shortly before he changed his name from Bayat to Bayfield and enrolled in the military as a licensed physician.

Toronto police, who hold Bayfield in custody pending his next court appearance, charge the Whitby man’s string of robberies started Feb. 11. In that case, an Agincourt Bank was robbed, followed by a second robbery of a bank in the affluent Toronto neighbourhood of Hogg’s Hollow on Feb. 19.

Police in Cobourg told Toronto police they recognized the man matching Bayfield’s description from security footage released by one of the banks and believed he was responsible for a Feb. 25 bank job in Cobourg. The following day, Feb. 26, Bayfield is alleged to have held up a bank in North York, sporting a wig in the robbery.

On March 10, police believe Bayfield – who may or may not have had an accomplice by this stage – walked into the east entrance to Quinte Secondary School and fired a gun into the empty hallway of the school. The shot or shots provided a diversion to draw police to the school while Bayfield allegedly made his way to the RBC Bank, on Front Street, downtown Belleville, where he held up the bank branch for an undisclosed amount of money. No shots were fired at the bank and it is unclear if the robber showed a gun to bank officials in the holdup.

But, the robber police believe is Bayfield was not finished his holdup spree. It’s believed the last job he pulled before being arrested by

Durham Region police occurred on April 4 when he held up a currency exchange shop in Burlington. Police said the suspect in that case wore a ball cap and sunglasses.

News reports at the time showed Bayfield worked as a commissioned officer and doctor in February 2007 as a member of the medical staff at CFB Petawawa. It was later shown he did so without a valid licence, despite the fact he attended medical school in Ottawa and served a residency program at Western, in London.

Bayfield’s run-ins with the regulatory bodies for physicians and physiotherapists were long and protracted, records for both groups show.

According to filings from the discipline committee of the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario, hearings into Bayfield’s activities, purportedly as a licensed physiotherapist, were held in May and August of 2012 and again in March, 2013.

The following are excerpts from the proceedings, in which Bayfield is referred to as Bayat, his previous name and that under which he was reported to have previously filed for registration as a physiotherapist.

Misrepresentations to the College “On his 2008 application for registration Mr. Bayat advised that he had completed 1,750 practice hours overseas over a three year period when this was not the case…

Offences under the Regulated Health Professions Act “On May 12, 2008 Mr. Bayat pled guilty to one count of unauthorized performance of a controlled act. Mr. Bayat failed to report this information to the College.

Misrepresentation to Employers “On various occasions in 2009 Mr. Bayat distributed copies of his resume to prospective employers.

Mr. Bayat advised that he had a Masters Degree in Rehabilitation Sciences from McGill University which is not true. He advised that between 2001 and 2008 he worked in the Unites States as a locum (temporary or fill-in physician), which was not true…”

After the physiotherapy college hearings, Bayfield was reprimanded, his certificate of registration was suspended for a minimum of 12 months and he was ordered to pay the $25,000 the college spent investigating and prosecuting his case.

There were several other instances listed where he had similar runins with the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons, even occasions when Bayfield charged the doctors’ college with showing racial bias in refusing him a licence to practise.

Families protest scale-back in IBI treatments for autistic children

By Stephen Petrick Belleville – Dozens of families affected by autism staged a noon-hour protest on Friday, April 15 hoping to raise awareness of provincial reforms they believe will have a devastating affect on children living with the condition.

The group shouted slogans such as “All kids are equal” while holding sings at the intersection of North Front Street and Bell Boulevard, where several drivers honked horns in support.

The budget recently passed by the Kathleen Wynne Liberal government scales back on funding for Intensive Behavioural Intervention treatment for children five and over with autism, the protesters said.

IBI, as it’s known, is described in government literature as “a structured approach to breaking down the barriers that isolate children with autism from the world around them.”

IBI professionals work with children with autism, either one-on-one or in small groups.

They use “systematic methods to promote development and change behavior.”

According to the government, the changes to the program mean that 16,000 more children will get access to services, mostly Applied Behaviour Analysis, a less intensive form of therapy, the government said.

The new program combines both types of therapy into a single program, which the government says will lead to faster and more individualized services. It hopes to cut wait times at least in half, on average, within two years and to have average wait times of six months or less by 2021.

Stephanie Reid, one of the organizers of the protest, said IBI is still available for children aged four and under with autism.

But children aren’t often diagnosed with autism until at least age two, and by the time they’ve moved through the wait list to obtain treatment they may be almost five, she explained.

She said the government is now offering a one-time lump sum of $8,000 to families in need of IBI treatment, so they can pay for whatever privately offered treatments they’d like.

But that cost won’t nearly cover all the treatments an autistic child will need.

“We’re asking for a direct-funding option,” she said, explaining that children with autism need continual support all the way up to age 18.

Reid has two kids with autism, one who’s five years old and the other aged two and a half.

Another protester Mary Ellen Monk said other provinces, such as Alberta, have direct funding for families with autistic children. Those families are given several thousand dollars annually, she said.

Her nine year old benefitted greatly from IBI treatments when it was more available, she said.

“My heart goes out to the families who will miss out,” she said.

Asked whether the constant honking of support from drivers was giving her any hope that the issue will be addressed, Monk said, “I’d be more hopeful if the election was this fall, as opposed to two years away.”

The Belleville protest was one of several Gaye Cedrone (left) stands with her daughter Jade at the corner of Bell Boulevard and North Front Street at noon hour on April protests related to IBI funding that have taken 15. Jade has a four year old son with autism and the family is worried about provincial reforms that will make IBI treatments place across the province in recent days. unavailable when he’s five.

Sagonaska to remain open next year; but no guarantee for long-term future

By Stephen Petrick Belleville – Sagonaska Demonstration School will be open for the 2016-17 school year, but the provincial government has yet to make a decision on it long-term future.

A statement issued by Education Minister Liz Sandals on Wednesday, April 13 says registrations for provincial demonstration schools for next school year are resuming.

The release didn’t definitively say this means the school will remain open long term.

However, a spokesperson from the Ministry’s office, at the request of the Belleville News, clarified that it means the school will be open for 2016-17 at least.

The release states that application processes were put on hold while a “consultation” took place.

That delay caused many parents of the school to wonder if the school was about to close.

“While no other decisions have been made, the Ministry of Education is carefully considering the input received from consultations.

We remain committed to timely communication with parents, students and staff as it relates to the outcome of the consultations,” Sandals said in the release.

Sagonaska Demonstration School is a school that serves students with special education needs. It’s based

on the campus of Sir James Whitney School for the Deaf in westend Belleville. This year about 40 students are enrolled at the school.

Wednesday’s news isn’t exactly what parents of Sagonaska students are hoping for. An online petition was recently formed and a vocal parents group is now lobbying the provincial government to keep the school open. They fear the consultation is a sign the school is about to close, along with two other similar demonstration schools in the province. Thursday, a massive demonstration took place on the lawn of Queen’s Park, participants – many parents of children with special needs – argue the government needs to make a long-term commitment to keep the schools open.

Sandals has remained firm that the consultations, which took place over recent weeks, was to allow the government to learn about the effectiveness of the schools and learn more about the best way to serve thousands of students across the province with special needs.

The release said, “Our government is committed to the success and well-being of every child and student, giving them access to the supports they need to succeed in school and in life.

“This past February, we launched a consultation to better understand the range of quality programs and services that best support our students’ needs at our provincial and demonstration schools.

“On April 8th written submissions for provincial and demonstration school consultations concluded. The consultation process provided the Ministry of Education with valuable insight and feedback from students, families and staff as well as education and community partners.”

OPINION

Parents are the true experts in autism funding fight

Non-linear climate emergency If you spend a lot of time talking to scientists about climate change, there’s one word you’ll hear time and time again, and yet it’s hardly ever mentioned in the public discussion of climate change. The word is “non-linear.”

Most people think of global warming as Gwynne Dyer an incremental thing.

It may be inexorable, but it’s also predictable. Alas, most people are wrong. The climate is a very complex system, and complex systems can change in non-linear ways.

In other words, you cannot count on the average global temperature rising steadily but slowly as we pump more and more greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. It may do that, but there may also be a sudden jump in the average global temperature that lands you in a world of hurt.

That may be happening now.

“We are moving into uncharted territory with frightening speed,” said Michel Jarraud, secretary-general of the World Meteorological Organisation, last November. He was referring to the fact that the warming is now accelerating in an unprecedented way.

The year 2014 was the hottest ever, until 2015 beat it by a wide margin. This year may beat that record by an even wider margin. It was the hottest January ever, and then the average global temperature in February was a full fifth of a degree Celsius higher than January.

That was a huge jump, since the “average global temperature” is an average of all the temperatures over the seas and the land in both the summer hemisphere and the winter hemisphere.

It is normally a very stable figure, changing no more than a few hundredths of a degree from year to year.

But March was not only hotter than February.

It was hotter by an even wider margin than February was over January. Indeed, each of the past 11 months has beaten the highest previously recorded average temperature for that month.

Some people try to explain this all away by blaming it on El Niño, a periodical rise in the ocean surface temperature in the eastern Pacific that moves the rainfall patterns around worldwide, causing droughts here and floods there.

But El Niño is a LOCAL rise in temperature, it does not normally affect the average global temperature much.

El Niño had not even begun when 2014 beat

all the records for average global temperature.

It was a powerful influence on weather patterns for all of 2015, but climate scientists estimate that it was responsible for only 10 per cent of the record warming in that year and 2015 would still have been hotter than 2014 even if you subtracted the El Niño effect.

And it was far hotter than the last big El Niño year, 1997.

As for the frightening acceleration in the warming in the past three months, that has no precedent in any El Niño year, or indeed in any previous year. It could be some random shortterm fluctuation in average global temperature, but coming on top of the record warming of 2014 and 2015, it feels a lot more like part of a trend.

Could this be non-linear change, an abrupt and irreversible change in the climate? Yes, and if it is, how far will it go before it stabilises again at some higher average global temperature? Nobody knows.

Last year, the average global temperature reached one full degree Celsius higher than the pre-industrial average. That is halfway to the plus-two degree level which all the world’s governments have agreed we must never exceed, but at least we got to plus-one slowly, over a period of two centuries.

The plus-two threshold matters because at that point the warming we have already caused will trigger natural feedbacks that we cannot control: the loss of the Arctic sea ice, the melting of the permafrost, and immense releases of carbon dioxide from the warming oceans. After plus-two, we will no longer be able to stop the warming by ending our own greenhouse gas emissions.

Even at the global climate summit in Paris last December, there was still hope that we might avoid triggering the feedbacks, because the historic rate of warming would still give us about 25 years to work on cutting our emissions before we reach plus-two. But if the current nonlinear surge in warming persists, we could have covered half the remaining distance and reached plus 1.5 degrees by the end of this year.

Obviously most scientists will not go this far in public, but they are very worried. As Prof.

Stefan Rahmstorf of the Potsdam Institute of Climate Impact Research told The Guardian recently: “We are in a kind of climate emergency now.”

I’m not a scientist, but 10 years ago I spent almost a year interviewing almost all the world’s leading climate scientists for a book I was writing. I learned that all our calculations for dealing with climate change could suddenly be swept aside by a non-linear event, and this could be it.

Editorial - Chris Malette

There’s a time for so-called expertise and a time to listen to those affected directly by government decisions.

The latest issue involving a redirection of funding for families with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder is a clear example of an opportunity for a government – in this case the Ontario government – to admit it is wrong and to do the right thing.

Earlier this month, the Liberal government announced a new Ontario Autism Program with $333 million in funding, but changes include limiting Intensive Behavioural Intervention to children between two and four.

Children and Youth Services Miwnister Tracy MacCharles said advice from experts was to focus on children in that developmental window. “I know it’s a transition, I know it’s challenging,” said MacCharles, whose son has special needs. “The research has said before and most recently with our clinical expert committee that the best window for IBI is those younger years, the two to four...”

But, dozens of parents of autistic kids believe they know their children best and took to the streets in Belleville last Friday to protest the move by the government.

Protester Mary Ellen Monk said other provinces, such as Alberta, have direct funding for families with autistic children. Her nine year old benefitted greatly from IBI treatments when it was more available, she said.

“My heart goes out to the families who will miss out,” she said.

As well, Lisa Anne Chatten, known to many in this community for her many and varied volunteer efforts, penned the following observation on National Autism Day, April 2.

As the parent of an autistic child, Chatten knows well the challenges but also displays here the strength of character and conviction of parents who know they must provide “intense parenting” for many, many years.

“When most people have children, they bank on about 18 years of intense parenting, setting them up and setting them out to the world for college, university, or the work world. Looking forward to them finding their

path and their dreams, and coming back to visit until the parents are in their 70s, then the child taking care of their parent in their golden years.

Parents of children with Autism don’t share your fantasy. Intense parenting to me, means something totally different than to the rest of the world. I have to stand up for my children every single year of their school life, often having to watch them suffer over the same hurdles year after year. I have to gain the trust of the school officials, the teachers, and the support staff so that they will listen to my suggestions and not block me at the doors as I encountered with a different school. I have to gently undo emotional damage by “friends” in my son’s classroom, who beat him up for doing a job a teacher gave him. I have to predict what it was that set Aiden into a horrific screaming melt down based on information provided to me by someone who was there, so we can try to stop it from occurring tomorrow. I have to do this, every day, for the rest of their school lives... Then, when they turn 18, they will embark on a new kind of adventure, where I will be even more involved in their academics, advocating for them to be accepted into jobs that don’t generally like the idea of having to employ special needs.

My parenting doesn’t get to relax at 18 years - I don’t get to pass the baton. I will be parenting Aiden until I am dead, and I will have provided alternative means of safety for him 20 years after that. Just think on that for a moment - I will be parenting 20 years after I am dead.

Please, today take a moment and support Autism. It isn’t all rain, but it certainly isn’t something to take lightly. Most of us with Autistic children are stronger than we look, but we are that way because of those who so beautifully support us, and our children. Blue is my heart.”

For the children of Lisa Anne Chatten and all the parents who are wringing their hands and being subjected to fear of the future for their children, the Wynne government needs to listen – truly listen – to their pleas.

Council commits to design work on Yardmen – Hockey deal next?

By Stephen Petrick

TICO#50007364

Belleville – A decision made at a quickly arranged special city council meeting is fuelling speculation that a new hockey league is interested in Belleville.

City council met early on the morning on Thursday, April 14 and voted to complete detailed architectural design work and tender drawings on the Yardmen Arena.

The city-owned arena, once home to Ontario Hockey League’s Belleville Bulls, hasn’t had a chief tenant since last year.

The recommendation made to council asked the city to waive a purchasing procedure bylaw and approve a single-source proposal from Architecture49 to do the work for $450,000.

The recommendation also asked that the city’s 2016 capital budget be amended by $510,000 and that the monies be funded from insurance and long-term debt.

The vote passed unanimously after just a few minutes of discussion.

City officials aren’t disclosing who is interested in the arena, citing confidentiality agreements. An in-camera meeting preceded the public meeting of council.

But the vote that passed Thursday allows the city to move quickly and possibly begin upgrades to the arena that could be complete by the start of the 2017-18 season.

Jack Miller, a councillor in tune with the hockey world from his long history as a sports broadcaster, said he couldn’t reveal the party that’s in discussions with the city. The city has signed a non-disclosure pact with any potential teams interested in moving here.

However, he said, the vote that passed allows the city to consider upgrades to the arena that have been planned since 2013.

“It’s out there that something is happening,” he said. “In Hockey fans watch one of the final Belleville Bulls games in the Yardmen Arena in 2015. City council is considering upgrading the arena in hopes of securing a new tenant. Photo

by Stephen Petrick the meantime, we have to do this work.”

Miller said the floor of the arena needs to be replaced, as benefit the city, even if a deal with a new tenant doesn’t occur it’s exceeded its life span and there are now cracks in the floor. $7 million.

He said he and his council colleagues decided to waive the in the near future.

Ice-making equipment, boards and glass in the arena is also in purchasing procedural bylaw – normally a council has to issue “In the event that any senior government funds come along, need of replacing.

The drawings will also give the city an idea on whether the a request for proposal and go with the cheapest of several op- if you have these things (design work) done, that really works in your favour,” he said.

Yardmen should be converted from an Olympic-sized ice sur- tions on such a project – due to timing issues.

“If they’re shooting for the 2017 season, the face to an NHL-sized rink.

Once council gets the drawings back – likely in the summer – work may have to be done by this fall,” Miller it can then decide on whether to complete the upgrades, which said.

Miller said are expected to cost anywhere from $5 million to He added that completing the design work may

Crime in Belleville dropped in fourth quarter of 2015; police

By Stephen Petrick Belleville – Crime in Belleville was down in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to the same time span a year ago, police say.

From October to December 2015, there were 1,654 crimes reported to police. Of those, 231 were unfounded, meaning there were 1,423 actual “crimes.”

In the fourth quarter of 2014 there were 1,814 crimes reported and 1,616 actual “crimes.”

This represents a 15.7 decrease in the number of actual crimes reported between the two quarters.

These figures were released as part of a report to the Belleville Police Services board authored by Chief Cory MacKay. The figures pleased board members, who met in City Hall on April 6. “Obviously good news,” said board member and city councilor Jack Miller.

MacKay said the statistics are evidence that police’s efforts on crime prevention programs are working.

Strong Kids campaign off to strong start for $150,000 goal

By Stephen Petrick Belleville – Kids from the day care at the Belleville YMCA came into the lobby on Wednesday, April 13, each holding a piece of paper that, when placed in line properly, would show the fundraising goal for this year’s Strong Kids campaign. “What did the number end up at?� asked Jamie Troke, this year’s campaign chair, as he stood behind the kids. “$510,000!� hollered someone from the audience, causing Troke to let out a nervous laugh.

While the audience member was joking, the kids got it right when they formed a line to reveal the more achievable “$150,000� fundraising goal.

When supporters of the Belleville YMCA gathered for the noon-hour celebration, and to hear this year’s campaign goal, they were reminded

that YMCA programs give young people the social development and leadership skills needed to live long, fulfilling lives.

The Strong Kids campaign is an annual drive to raise funds to ensure kids from low-income households have access to YMCA programs, such as aquatics, summer camps and other fun, active and educational activities. “The YMCA believes every child deserves the chance to reach their full potential, regardless of their family’s financial situation,� said Amanda Boldrick, of the YMCA in an introductory speech.

Troke, a realtor in the Belleville community who owns Ekort Realty, said he is happy to serve as the chair of the fundraising committee for 2016. He took over the role from last year’s chair, Andy Forgie.

He pointed out that one in five children in Belleville YMCA aquat-

ics programs are registered with help through Strong Kids funding. “That need continues to this day,� he said. “We need to help. We all need to be involved.�

The YMCA Strong Kids campaign takes place year-round, but the drive is publicized the most during the spring months when numerous fundraisers occur.

But donations are accepted to the campaign throughout the year and one of its biggest supporters is Operation Red Nose Quinte, which raises funds through the holiday period.

Other speakers at the campaign launch reminded guests that YMCA programs are important due to rising obesity rates in children and the fact that kids today spend more time in front of television or computer screens than ever before.

YCMCA board chair John Mas-

torakos said the programs are needed, especially in light of recent news that physical education programs are being cut from schools.

YMCA Acting President and CEO David Allen reminded the audience of the grim story out of the First Nations community of Attawapiskat, where there were recently 11 suicide attempts in one night.

He’s been following that story and was intrigued to learn that when counsellors started meeting with children and asking how to improve their quality of life, they asked for more opportunity to participate in physical activities. “The first thing on their list, was they wanted a YMCA,� he said.

The point re-enforces the idea that physical activity programs are important to children in communities everywhere.

The campaign is already off to a strong start with cheques received from Halnley Corporation, for $5,000, and QuintEssential Credit Union, a donation of $500. Operation Red Nose has donated $30,000 to Strong Kids from its annual Christmas ride program.

Our TMH committee member asks for apology from QHC board member

By Erin Stewart Trenton – Our TMH committee member Evelyn Wilson, known by many in the Quinte West community for her volunteerism and recipient of the ‘Unsung Hero Honour’ by Canada’s Walk of Fame for her contribution to the community, is questioning the conduct of Quinte Health Care Board (QHC) member Stuart Wright.

After a recent Our TMH public information meeting, Wilson said Wright made some uncalled for comments to her.

“After the evening was concluding I was chatting with a few people and he turned to me and said, you need to go see a doctor,” Wilson wrote in a letter to QHC’s Tricia Anderson, chair of the board of directors. “He continued to state that I need to go to a doctor and have my hearing checked because I am very loud.

He said that there was no need for me to be loud.”

Wilson said she does not deny that she has a loud voice and she is very passionate when talking about Trenton Memorial Hospital and encouraging the public to get involved and support Our TMH’s efforts to save services.

“For your board member to make such a rude comment to me about being too loud is very unprofessional and very rude. He doesn’t know me, my stories, or my personality or character,” Wilson Wrote. “He didn’t take the time to ask about the personal reasons I am involved with working on Our TMH, instead making off the cuff remarks that he thinks are ok.”

After going through the death of a child to cancer, her father’s heart attack and her son’s ongoing medical issues which require regular visits to the hospital, Wilson wrote that she does get excited about

encouraging people to do all they can for Our TMH and no one in the community has had any issues with her voice.

Wilson writes that she would like an apology from Wright for his comments.

“If he is not as passionate about ensuring community involvement in QHC maybe it is time he moves off the board,” she said. “If he cannot attend a community event for information about QHC without coming across as someone who is bored and annoyed, he should not bother coming at all.”

Wilson has asked that her letter be sent to all board members and President and CEO Mary Clare Egberts.

When asked for a comment on the issue, QHC board chair Anderson said complaints are not dealt with in the media.

“As with any complaint, whether it’s regarding a volunteer, staff member or physician, we have a process that

involves hearing from all parties and then responding accordingly,” said Anderson in a press release. “Out of respect for everyone involved, in-

cluding our volunteer board member, efforts taken by QHC to resolve this complaint will be done privately, not through the media.”

Police getting ready to Pedal for Hope In less than a week the fifth annual Pedal for Hope cycling tour will start cycling in Hastings and Prince Edward counties.

The 10-day tour, which runs from April 25 until May 6 raises funds and awareness for Childhood Cancer with proceeds benefiting the Canadian Cancer Society.

It is run by the organization Cops for Cancer,

as it involves members of local law enforcement teams.

And this year, the group is celebrating two milestones – its fifth birthday, and the launch of its own website, pedalforhopequinte.ca .

Developed by InvolveMedia over the past year and sponsored by International Truckload Services (ITS), the site offers the schools and stu-

Some win, some lose in city budget; neither by much

By Stephen Petrick Belleville – If you’re the kind of person who’s irked by municipal tax increases, then the budget Belleville city council recently passed should ease your temper.

Residents in urban Belleville and the urban Cannifton area will only see an incremental tax increase in 2016 and Cannifton rural and rural residents will actually see slight decreases.

The budget, which passed at the conclusion of a special budget meeting on April 12, requires $87.1 million of tax revenue.

To achieve that, urban Belleville residents were given a 0.26 per cent tax increase. That amounts to an extra $8.56 per year on a home with a value assessed at $209,200.

Cannifton urban residents will have a 0.09 per cent increase, the equivalent of an extra $2.89 per year on a $209,200 home.

Cannifton rural residents will see a tax reduction of 0.35 per cent, or a savings of $10.22 per year, again based on a $209,200 home.

Rural residents will see a 0.17 decrease, Wayne Groen (left) and Jeremy Ashley ride bikes in between Camryn Hunter, a child who’s been supported through the Pedal representing a savings of $4.42 a year on a for Hope.

Police getting ready to Pedal for Hope Continued from page 12 cial Police service embarked on a cycling tour that cruised to elementary schools throughout Prince Edward County, Belleville, Quinte West and Centre Hastings.

To date, the tour has raised more than $325,000 for the cause.

The money aside, the heart of this event is on the special kids that reside in our communities who have been diagnosed with cancer. During the tour, each officer is paired up with one or two of these “special friends” and ride in that child’s honor.

The event is a tremendous show of support for each of these children and their families as they battle their illness. Many of these children have been diagnosed with a life threatening form of cancer.

Despite all the odds stacked against them, those little local heroes manage to join our riders on the

last day to pedal alongside us for the final leg of the tour.

An important element of this event, which spans two weeks but takes months of planning and effort, is that each officer involved is volunteering. It’s a very important component of Pedal for Hope, and one police officers are proud of.

This year, the final wrap up event – dubbed the biggest birthday party in the city - will be on Friday May 6 at the Belleville Canadian Tire starting at 4 p.m. At that time, the Pedal for Hope team, accompanied by the local children they are riding in support of, will cycle together along Bell Boulevard to Reid’s Dairy from Canadian Tire – and back again – to enjoy a fundraising barbecue, live entertainment, and bouncy castles.

The public is invited to attend, buy a burger, climb a rock wall, high-five some local cops and meet some remarkable cancer survivors.

The modest increases and decreases were achieved largely as a result of education levies being down.

Residents in all four areas will see a 3.59 per cent reduction in the education portion of their municipal tax bill.

Council passed the budget two days ahead of schedule, as another budget meeting was scheduled for Thursday, April 14 but was ultimately unnecessary.

None of the figures released were entirely surprising, as council began working on the budget last November – much earlier than normal – hoping to find savings in anticipation of a challenging budget year.

Agencies that seek municipal levies were asked to submit budgets with zero tax increases, a request that was made based on the fact that Belleville has heavy infrastructure costs this year, as it moves forward with Build Belleville, a portfolio of 22 major projects, for which the city is accumulating debt.

While Mayor Taso Christopher never made specific promises on what the tax rate would end up at, throughout the budget process he expressed confidence that there wouldn’t be a major tax increase this year.

A Belleville business operator who formerly opened and ran such locations as The Pier BBQ and Dem Bones Smoke Shack, pleaded guilty to two counts of false pretenses for writing multiple payroll cheques that were returned non-sufficient funds.

Terry Pascoe, 57, was charged by Belleville police with fraud over $5,000 in March 2015, after employees complained to police their pay cheques kept bouncing.

In testimony before Justice Elaine Deluzio, court heard that from January 2014 to the time of his arrest, Pascoe wrote cheques for tens of thousands of dollars to himself for entertainment and expenses while payroll cheques bounced. He continued to do so even after his bank account had been frozen by a court order. As well, court heard there remains $8,000 still owing to 17 employees.

His defence lawyer had argued for a conditional discharge, owing to the irreversible harm the charges have made to Pascoe’s reputation in a reasonably small community such as Belleville.

Crown attorney Mike Lunski, however, argued that Pascoe deserved a six month conditional sentence that should include three of those months under house arrest, followed by 12 months of probation and community service hours.

Lunski argued that Pascoe’s actions – squandering tens of thousands of dollars on personal extravagances – may have seemed like a victimless crime, he in fact put several people out of work when Dem Bones was forced to close its doors.

Justice Deluzio is scheduled to deliver her sentencing order April 28 at 9:30 a.m.

Hastings & Prince Edward Learning Foundation straps on Good Backpack Program

By Stephen Petrick Belleville – A popular fall program that helps thousands of kids is no longer on the back of the United Way of Quinte.

The Good Backpack program is now strapped into the Hastings & Prince Edward Learning Foundation’s line of programming.

Supporters of the program gathered at the Hastings & Prince Edward District School Board office on Wednesday, April 6 to make the announcement.

The United Way launched the program in 2000 and every year since it has helped to distribute about 12,000 backpacks, each one full of ageappropriate school supplies, to kids from families that need financial help.

The Hastings & Prince Edward Learning Foundation is the charitable arm of the local public school board.

Executive director Maribeth deSnoo said it made sense for the Learning Foundation to take over the program.

The foundation has a student emergency fund, which is used to help families in financial

need pay for school supplies.

Given this, the foundation has the ability to reach out to families in need and register them confidentially to the program.

Previously, families would have to attend an event and register for the program.

“In transitioning to The HPELF and becoming part of the Student Emergency Fund, backpacks will be provided through quiet, confidential application made on behalf of students by school staff,” deSnoo said. “There will not be a registration fee, and backpacks would be requested for students identified by school staff as needing support, and who otherwise wouldn’t have access to a backpack.”

Backpacks will be available to students in publically funded schools in Hastings and Prince Edward counties and the surrounding area.

Funds will be raised for the program through sponsorship, community donations and the annual “Stuff the Bus” event.

That event takes place every August and involves a bus that travels to various offices in the region to pick up donations of supplies.

By Wendy Rayson-Kerr April is Poetry Month. So what does that mean for you and me? According to the League of Canadian Poets, Poetry Month was established to bring together schools, publishers, booksellers, literary organizations, libraries, and poets from across the country to celebrate poetry and its vital place in Canada’s culture. Here are a few suggestions on how to participate.

We all have favourite poems. Some we can barely remember past the first line and others we somehow remember

The number of backpacks available through The HPELF will be dependent upon the amount of funds raised annually to support the campaign.

United Way of Quinte Executive Director Judi Gilbert acknowledged that the Learning Foundation is better equipped to handle the program from here on.

“While we have done a tremendous job of serving the community with this program, under the leadership of The HPELF the scope of the program will greatly increase,” she said. “The HPELF has a mandate that would greatly increase the impact of this program and it aligns nicely with their current programs offered.

We look forward to working with the team at The HPELF to transition the program smoothly.”

The United Way will still be involved in providing backpacks for the 2016-2017 year, but by the 2017/18 school years, the learning foundation will be fully responsible for the program.

April is Poetry Month

better than what we ate for breakfast this morning. With this in mind, the first way I encourage you to celebrate Poetry Month is to memorize a new poem. The library is a great place to get inspired. We have many new poetry books on our shelves, including “Poem-a-Day, 365 Poems for Every Occasion” compiled by the Academy of American Poets. This collection was expressly created to promote the practice of poetry in our daily lives.

You will find it along with many other poetry books in our literature section on the second floor.

The second way you can participate in Poetry Month is to create your own poem. On our website you can access a link to an “Online Magnetic Poetry” page, where you can compose your own whimsical piece and then easily share it through Facebook, on Twitter or we’ll display it on our website when you email it to us. Other types of poetry that we are promoting here this month are “Blackout Poems” and “Spine Poems”, both of which are being exhibited on the first floor of the library. Blackout Poems involve taking a photocopied page of a book and

blacking out words and sentences so that the remaining visible words form poetry. Spine Poems are a lot of fun, and they involve stacking up books so that the titles on the spines form poetry.

We encourage all of our patrons to partake in these wonderfully spontaneous artistic creations, and to share them with us.

Lastly, what better way to celebrate Poetry Month than to share a poem with someone else? Whether it is an original poem or simply one you have always enjoyed, write it down in a card and send it off to someone special. If

you prefer the more immediate route, send it through email or post it on Facebook. Enjoy these easy ways to take part in Poetry Month today.

Also, are you looking for something fun to do with your family on Saturday April 23? Come down to the Library for Ontario Day of Puppetry celebration featuring puppet shows and workshops throughout the day. The fun starts at 10 a.m. on Saturday at the Library with shows and crafts at 10, 11, 12, 2, and 3. Some workshops require registration as space is limited, so call 613-968-6731 ext. 2235 today.

Former Lancers hoops star Patrick Kabeya returning as coach Belleville – Loyalist College’s men’s basketball has a new coach. Patrick Kabeya will take over the team for the 2016-17 season. The announcement was made April 7 when Kabeya met with returning players on the team for an evening shoot-around.

Kabeya has a long and decorated playing history with the Lancers and was twice named the school’s

male athlete of the year.

Since graduation he has coached at both the high school and club level and this year, added an Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic Association bronze medal with the Central Toronto Academy High School to his long list of accolades.

Kabeya takes over from previous coach, Ryan Barbeau, who had been the

Healthy Mouth, Healthy You… There has been lots of research recently in medical and dental scientific journals about the effects of having a healthy mouth as well as those of having an unhealthy mouth.

Your mouth is the gateway Dr. Brian Ho to the rest of your body. If your mouth is full of infections, the latest medical research has been showing that it affects the rest of your body quite significantly.

If you suffer from diabetes, heart disease, and many other common ailments, the gum disease that is present in your mouth has the potential to contribute in a negative way to these medical conditions. You might be asking how this may be.

Think of it this way: your body is a system that is constantly trying to heal itself. If you have a condition like heart disease, and your body has to use some of its valuable resources to combat your gum disease, it makes it that much harder for your body to take care of the heart.

Also, if you suffer from gum infections in your mouth from periodontal disease, every time you eat and chew, bad bacteria are released that can directly affect things like your arteries and your heart valves. If you are pregnant, the constant stream of bad bacteria that may be in your mouth from infections can certainly affect an unborn child.

Given that periodontal or gum disease has many negative effects, one would assume that it is easily detectable. Surprisingly enough, many people with periodontal disease are unaware that their mouths are burdened with this condition. Let’s take a moment to highlight some of the tell-tale signs of periodontal (gum) disease: bleeding of the gums when you brush or eat, loose teeth, bad breath, little gum pockets around your teeth that are swollen, and pain upon chewing. These are just some of the signs that you may have significant gum disease.

Call your dentist and make an appointment to assess your gums so that you can keep your mouth and yourself healthy.

Dr. Brian Ho is a practicing general dentist in Trenton, Ontario. He can be reached at Trenton Family Dental, 613.394.3883. For further information and discussion, please visit his office at www.trentonfamilydental.com.

men’s head coach since 2013.

Barbeau resigned from the team after the 201516 season for personal reasons. The men’s squad had a record of seven wins and 13 losses this season and did not advance to the playoffs.

The team had identical 10-10 records in 2014-15 and 2013-14.

“We’re happy to have Pat on board,” said Athletics Director Jim Buck.

“He brings a lot of experience and we think he will be a good fit with our program. It’s important

for all of our coaches at Loyalist to buy into our philosophy that our athletes are students first and athletes second.”

The team expects a number of its players from this season to return for the 2016-17 season.

“I’m thrilled to be taking over the Lancer basketball team,” Kabeya said.

“Having been a studentathlete here, I know what the school is all about and everything it has to offer.

I’m excited to start working with the returning guys and to begin recruiting new players.”

Bay of Quinte boys rugby season kicks off

By Erin Stewart Belleville – The Bay of Quinte boys rugby season kicked off with a three-team exhibition round robin at Mary Ann Sills Park on Tuesday, April 12.

Bayside Secondary School rugby Coach Kyle Ripley said exhibition games are fantastic for growth at the beginning of the year, especially for the junior teams where many Grade 9 students have never played the game before. “Getting kids out and playing exhibition friendly games, that is all about the growth of the players and it has nothing to do with competition,” Ripley said. “Most of them never played before today and at the end of the day they looked like they could compete for a championship.”

Ripley said he grew up playing rugby in the Bay of Quinte system, graduating from Quinte Secondary School, and then went on to play with the Belleville Bulldogs and at Laurentian University.

He said he has really seen the

sport take off in the area.

“In the last 15 years this is just a hot bed for boys and girls rugby,” Ripley said. “I would say the huge reason is because of the dedicated coaches that have been doing it for a long time at a variety of different schools.”

There have been many rugby players from the area who have continued to play club rugby and also players who have gone on to play at a provincial level and even for team Canada, said Ripley.

“These kind of players who have gone on to just continue to elevate the level show the kids around here that they can go on and play the highest level of university rugby, play the highest level in the world even,” he said.

The boys’ rugby season has kicked off, coinciding with the warm spring temperatures.

The high schools will compete against each other over the next several weeks and try to land a spot at the Bay of Quinte tournament and then move onto Moira Secondary School’s James Douglas, Grade 12, makes the catch from the lineout during his team’s game against Centre Hastings Secondary School in the exhibition game on Tues. April 12, at Mary Ann Sills. Photo by Erin Stewart COSSA.

G-Hawks beat Raiders 2-0 in Game 3 of Buckland series

By Erin Stewart

Trenton – Daniel Urbani again showed why he is the top goalie in the Ontario Junior Hockey League, shutting out the Georgetown Raiders on home ice to put the G-Hawks up 2-1 in the series.

The Trenton Golden Hawks beat the Georgetown Raiders 2-0 at home on Mon. April 18, with both Trenton goals scored by Mitch Emerson.

Going into Wednesday night’s match in Georgetown, the Hawks led the bestof-seven Buckland Cup Championship series 2-1 and hit the road for Game 4 in Georgetown. The result came after our press deadline.

Emerson scored the team’s first goal on the power play 17 minutes into the second period and again with only two seconds left in the third period on the open net after Georgetown pulled their goalie. Hunter Fargey assisted Emerson’s first goal.

Trenton was helped by excellent goaltending from Urbani who turned in a shutout with 28 saves, making a flurry of spectacular saves in the tense final minutes of the game.

Georgetown’s goaltender Andrew Masters stopped 21 out of the 22 shots he faced.

The G-Hawks incurred 10 minutes in penalty time while the Raiders tallied 12 minutes.

“It’s not easy to win these championship games, we’ve got to battle for everything we get, but we did just that tonight,” said G-Hawks coach Jerome Dupont. “Our overall game was better, we were a little more aggressive and obviously we’ve got good goaltending and Mitch Emerson was a big part of our success.”

Emerson said it’s a good bounceback for the Hawks, coming out of a disappointing double overtime loss in Georgetown.

“We managed to stay out of the box tonight which was key for us,” Emerson said. “We played a good defensive game and shut down a good offensive team.”

Urbani, named the Ontario junior Hockey League’s best goaltender of the year, said the Hawks played a great team effort and the team is getting back to playing their style of hockey again.

“I think the first couple of games, we kind of strayed off of that and then tonight we played a strong defensive effort,” said Urbani. “I think that’s Golden

Hawks hockey and that’s what we need bani and Raiders’ goaltender Andrew stopping many difficult saves in the Urbani saved 42 out of 45 shots and to keep doing.”

Masters both played an excellent game, tense overtime minutes.

Masters made 39 saves on 41 shots.

The Hawks will be back in Trenton for game 5 on Fri. April 22.

Tickets for game 5 in Trenton will go on sale on Thurs. April 21, at the Trenton arena.

Season ticket holders can grab their tickets on Thursday from 9 a.m. to noon and then the tickets will go on sale for the general public from noon until 8 p.m.

If necessary, game 6 will be played Sat. April 23, at 7:30 p.m. in Georgetown and game 7 will be played Mon. April 25, at 7:30 p.m. in Trenton.

Game 1 recap: The Trenton Golden Hawks were able to hang onto their lead and come out on top 5-4 against the Georgetown Raiders in the first game of the Buckland Cup Ontario Junior Hockey League championship series in Trenton on Fri. April 15.

The Raiders came out strong and scored the first two goals of the game in the first period but Trenton bounced back and had the game tied at 2-2 by renton Golden Hawks’ Danny Hanlon shoots the puck during the third period at Trenton’s Duncan Memorial Gardens. G-Hawks are now up 2-1 in the the end of the first.

Quinte Trash Bash returns April 23

By Stephen Petrick

Belleville – Roll up your sleeves and get ready for a trash bash Belleville.

The Quinte Trash Bash returns to town on Saturday, April 23. The annual spring clean up event asks citizens to come out and remove trash from public spaces. It involves a friendly competition with two neighboring communities, Quinte West and Tyendinaga Township, as residents of those communities also participate to see which community can remove the most litter

What’s great about the event, said Becky MacWhirter, Belleville’s green co-ordinator and public education officer, is that it showcases the incredible goodwill of people and the pride they have for their communities.

Picking up garbage may be a dirty job, but every year there’s no shortage of people willing to do it.

“I think it’s a real reflection of people’s commitment to the community,” she said.

“It’s something everyone can do; every one can take part in it. This is a great way for people to connect with their neighbours.”

Belleville residents can visit Market Square, Quinte Secondary School or Cascade Park to pick up supplies, such as garbage bags, as early as 9 a.m.

The trash they collect can be placed in garbage and recycling dumpsters provided by the city at the fairgrounds, at Bridge and Sidney streets. The event runs until 2 p.m.

People are encouraged to register in advance at www.quintetrashbash.ca, so organizers can get a sense of how many people to expect. When they pick up supplies they can also tell organizers where they intend to work, so organizers get a sense of what areas of the city are being cleaned and where work remains to be done.

MacWhirter said in the days leading up to the event organizers will be taking note of areas of the city where there is a lot of trash and taking photos of those areas to post to the event’s Facebook page, so participants can learn about ideal places to visit.

If history is any indication, a whole lot of trash will be removed on the day. Last year, 1,864 people registered to participate in the bash between the three communities. Just over 1,000 of those participants were from Belleville.

The communities combined to fill eight dumpsters worth of garbage, MacWhirter said.

She added that the success of the event shows that Belleville citizens “have a real sense around the litter issue. This is something people can take responsibility for.”

She also noted the event is a nice example of everyday citizens working with municipal staff, who ensure that supplies are provided and garbage is collected and removed.

“It’s a nice way for the city to work together with citizens,” she said.

Albert College field gets new name Belleville - It’s long been a prime location for a sports field, but it was in terrible shape – even canting off to one end of the pitch by several feet.

But, all that changed with a refit and a new name for Albert College’s playing field.

The sports field on Albert College’s main campus located at the corner of Dundas Street West and Sidney Street was named “McCullough Field” at a special dedication ceremony on Saturday, April 16.

The main sports field was a major part of the school’s site redevelopment project in the summer of 2015. The field was named in honour of a past student and loyal Albert College supporter, Donald McCullough.

A graduate of Albert College in 1947, McCullough attended the school for six years as a boarding student from Kingston. Affectionately

known as “Mic”, a nickname he received from a classmate while a student at Albert College, McCullough was on hand Saturday.

“Mr. McCullough is a proud Albert College alumnus and a loyal supporter of the school,” says Head of School, Keith Stansfield, during the dedication ceremony. “In recognition of his lifetime commitment to the school, Albert College is pleased to dedicate our sports field in his honour.”

Mic attended Albert College over 60 years ago but remembers his time at the school like it was yesterday. He took to life at Albert in every way, learning the ropes academically, athletically and socially, eventually earning top honours in the classroom and on the field. Mic was surrounded by many of his former classmates on Saturday, as the school celebrated a reunion for classes of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s last weekend, as Grade 12 student, Aysar Younes, Head of School, Keith Stansfield, MPP, Todd Smith, Belleville Mayor, Taso Christopher, guest of honour, Donald “Mic” McCullough, Director of Athletics, Daryl Radford, Albert College’s Athletic Mascot, Paws, and Past Chair of the Board of Governors, Eric LeBlanc.

well.

Also in attendance to celebrate the occasion was Belleville Mayor, Taso Christopher, who spoke at the ceremony thanking the McCullough family and Albert College. “We know academics is under tremendous pressure across the province and across the nation, but Albert College has become one of the most popular and recognized academic schools in the country. It is

an honour to have Albert College as our partner in the community. It gives me nothing but joy to be a part of an event like this on a day like this.”

MPP Todd Smith, addressed the crowd by saying, “this is a special school not just in the city of Belleville but in the country of Canada and certainly in our province of Ontario. Coming over the Norris Whitney Bridge from Prince Edward County into Belleville, the city looks so beautiful from the top of that bridge and one of the reasons why it looks so beautiful is because of Albert College.”

Students for years to come will benefit from the great work that has been FACTORY OUTLET STORE OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK! done to redevelop the sports field.

It’s ‘Beer Month’ in Leuven, Belgium

By John M. Smith I often connect beer festivals with the fall of the year, for that’s when the traditional “Octoberfest” festivities occur. However, Leuven, Belgium, which is often referred to as “the beer capital of the world”, holds its major beer festivals in the spring, and this year’s so-called “beer month” begins on Apr. 22 and ends on May 22. A number of special events take place during this special time, including beer tastings and brewery tours, and a great many beer aficionados will certainly attend. It’s even possible to participate in special workshops where you’ll learn about proper cheese and beer pairings or beer and Belgian chocolate pairings. How delectable! You could also sign up for a brewery bike tour, in which you’d cycle to a nearby micro brewery and then taste the house beers – or choose to participate in a beer golf event in which a beer is served after every hole.

The biggest event of all, however, is Leuven’s annual “Zythos Beer Festival”, which takes place this year on the opening weekend, April 22 & 23; after all, it’s said to be “the largest beer tasting festival of its kind in Europe”, and more than 100 Belgian brewers will showcase about

500 types of beer in one place, the Brabanthal (a large hall and exhibition centre). A free shuttle service will conveniently take you there and back, so you don’t have to worry about drinking and driving. The word “Zythos” is an ancient Greek word for “beer”, so it’s an appropriate choice for a festival that strives to educate the public about beer. While at the festival itself, you can rent a tasting glass and purchase a few tokens; then exchange these tokens at the various beer stands to sample the products.

Another popular event during “beer month” is the smaller, more intimate “Leuven Innovation Beer Festival”, which will take place this year on May 15 & 16. This particular event takes place in De Hoorn, the unique and historic old beer hall of Stella Artois, and it’s a platform for craft breweries from all over the world. Visitors can taste the innovative beers and learn about the ingredients, the techniques used, the actual production, the packaging, and perhaps even the origin of a recipe.

Leuven may have been given its renowned beer reputation simply because it was home to more than 30 active breweries in the early part of the 20th century. It has also been home to Stella Artois since 1926, and is now the headquarters of the larg-

est brewing company in the world, AB InBev. It’s estimated that this one company has about 30% of the world market – and in addition to Stella Artois, its brands include such well known names as Busch, Beck’s, Budweiser, Lowenbrau, Michelob, Alexander Keith’s, Kokanee, Lakeport, and Labatt.

When I visited Leuven, I took a tour of its largest brewery, and I was very impressed by both the size and cleanliness of this operation. Johann was my personal guide in the Stella Brewery, and we first visited its ‘kitchen’, where the ‘cooking’ takes place in large vats that hold 65,000 litres of brew each. We then proceeded to the fermentation, filtration, and bottling sections. I was amazed that there were not a lot of assembly line workers, for most of this process was automated, with the workers actually sitting in a control room, monitoring the activities. I was also struck by the sheer quantity being produced, for I was told that the automated assembly line can put out 150,000 cans and 200,000 bottles per hour! Green bottles were used for the export market and brown bottles were for domestic sales. As I watched this assembly line, I noticed that certain cans were automatically being discarded as they moved along, and Johann explained that “everything is weighed at certain intervals, so if there’s a small leak in a can, that beer won’t weigh the proper amount – and will be thrown off the line and discarded”.

In Domus, a pipe runs the beer directly from the brewery into the adjoining restaurant.

Beer cans, 150,000 of them, go through the assembly line per hour.

tois Brewery operates 24 hours a day, here! However, none of it is stored, so a lot of beer is being produced for it’s simply loaded up in trucks and moved out that very day – in bottles, cans, or kegs.

Odds & Sods 3

By Dan Clost O&S 1 FROST What a lovely warm week it was, Gentle Reader. This past Saturday, I joined everyone else in the neighbourhood spending a bustling day working in the yard.

The sun was warm, the breeze was warm but there was still a hint of cold in the air. In some areas of the yard a few hyacinth were in bloom- ahead of the daffodils!- but in shadier spots all there was to be seen was a few tips just poking through

the leaf litter. The forsythia were budded out but not open, deciduous azaleas and rhododendrons hadn’t cracked open either. In other words, we have a normal spring occurring in a normal fashion.

The upcoming forecast is rain on Monday, a bit cool overnight Monday, and then a continuing warm-up culminating in temps in the high teens for Thursday - which should be when you’re reading this. In short, what a perfect lead-in to another gardening weekend. A condition not unnoticed by the garden centres and nurseries are chocka-block with colourful pansies and other spring blooms.

So, GR, it is incumbent upon me, a garden writer, to suggest you “Whoa-up there, buckaroo!” Check the various weather stations and almanacs for last frost dates in your area.

Last frost refers to a killing frost; one that will turn many a prematurely planted annual into black mush. You folks up in the Coe Hill area don’t need any cautions from a southerner like me; heck, you’re all probably still flooding the back yard rink. However, sometimes we

urbanites lose the “feel” of the weather and our impatience gets the better of our impatiens.

Last frost dates for those of you living west of Brighton and south of Bloomfield- 30 April; for Trenton Belleville and up to Campbellford – 10 May. There is an anomalous pocket just south and west of Peterborough, near Fraserville- positively arctic with a possible last frost date of 30 May. If you must purchase tender annuals, don’t plant them for a while. If you have planted them, have some old blankets for covering them up during the cold nights. The thing to remember here is that you don’t remove the blankets until you feel the warmth of the sun in the morning. Otherwise the cold air sitting on top of the blanket at 0700 hrs will simply settle down on the plant and wreak its havoc. If everything goes awry, take a deep breath, realize that they are just plants and carry on.

O&S#2 Pouffing Our lawn was nice and dry so a good raking was in order. I use a run-of-the-mill lawn rake, with the “soft” metal tines: I have

coined a new horticultural term for this method of early spring raking, “pouffing.” I try not to do this until I see that the lawn is greening up, which means the roots are active which, in turn, means they’re anchored in.

Pouffing is simply giving the rake a slight bounce instead of a pull so that the action is more vertical than horizontal. Dead bits will come up with the tines and the green bits have minimal stress placed on them. I like to rake a patch moving in one direction and then redoing it at a 90deg angle. When you’re finished you might think that there is a lot of bare ground and you might be right. But here’s the good thing, grass is a cool season plant so it will fill in those spaces more quickly than any weed at this time. However, if you’re not using corn gluten at twice the suggested application rate, now is a good time for overseeding.

O&S#3 Lawn Weeds This is the perfect time to winkle out dandelions, thistle, knotweed, etc. because they’re easy to see.

And, if you’re busy doing that, you’re not planting annuals before their time.

Cohen tribute a huge success

By Jack Evans

Two sold-out shows greeted a Kingston-based musical ensemble as they performed a “Tribute to Leonard Cohen” in the small but mighty Roy Bonisteel Church Theatre Sunday. The concert was presented as a matinee in the afternoon and an evening show.

Veteran Kingston entertained Roger James, in a Cohen style hat, sat in one corner of the stage, narrating by reading selections from Cohen’s extensive poetic works, interspersed with a generous selections of the famous Canadian’s songs.

They included the current hit, “Hallelujah,” belted out by lead singer Tracie Morgan, who was assisted on vocals by Christina Tracey. Others included “Tower of Song,” “No Diamonds in the Mine,””Gentle This Soul,””It’s Closing Time” and “Just Passing Through.” A surprise encore at the close started with a slow, thumping beat on the keyboard by Spencer Evans, steadily increasing in pace, quickly picked up by drummer Stu Pike and then Adam Hodge on bass guitar. Evans then grabbed his clarinet and broke out into a wild Jewish klezmer piece, received by the audience with wild applause.

A bar well stocked with local wines and craft beers added to the conviviality of the evening.

The former church has become an increasingly popular venue for a wide variety of entertainments with many more events scheduled for the months ahead.

Elda was actively involved in Havelock, where she enjoyed the Ladies Orange Lodge, the Dorcas Rebekah Lodge, and the TOPS Club where she achieved ‘Queen’ status.

A railroad is hiding in the Actinolite bush

By Brett Mann

Actinolite – A lost or adventuring visitor exploring a long windy dirt road in the bush north of Highway 7, might well stare in disbelief if they happened upon the property of Lesley Bernard. On a picturesque bend in the Skootamata River, she and her partner Paul McCluggage have created an outof-the-way monument to Canada’s railway past.

Bernard who is originally from Toronto, and whose father is a train enthusiast, has constructed a full-scale replica train station using original plans from the Canadian Northern Railway, complete with three full-size railway cars and a caboose.

When Bernard acquired the property in 1994, it was just forest. Explaining her attraction to the railway, she remarks, “Dad’s been a long-time train fan. I kind of grew up with it.”

The couple lived in the rail cars from 2004 to 2011. “The rail cars came in first. The first one came in ‘97.”

They used the car as a summer camp, “and in the winter too. That was an adventure. We started building the station in 2008. We moved in, in 2011 and it’s still not finished. We’ve still got trim and paint.”

“Canadian Northern was one of the last railways to get going, and MacKenzie and Mann [Sir William MacKenzie and Sir Donald Mann] hired an architect and said that we want to have a whole series of stations that are all based on the same theme, so that if you’re out on the train, and you’re stopping at one of their stations, you know you’re on Canadian Northern. A guy named Pratt was the actual architect. I think it’s the most classic of the railway stations. It’s sort of the ‘prairie style’ with the big over-

hangs and the brackets. And lots of roof plane changes. … this is probably vintage 1910 design, I would think.”

Plans for the station were found in a book on model railways.

“There’s no reason you can’t build it full scale of course,” she observes. Bernard is an electrician by trade and notes that she inherited her father’s model train collection, proudly showing off

some finely detailed railroad cars made by a Toronto friend, Jason Shron, “a stickler for detail.”

Beside the station/home sit two full-sized rail cars, a sleeper and a dining car, as well as a caboose resting on 400 feet of track. “The caboose needs rebuilding. We installed the track by rolling, tipping, levering, whatever we had to do.” One of the cars came from Trenton from the “now defunct”

Prince Edward County Railway and the other from VIA in Toronto. The caboose came from “a farmer’s field in Aurora.”

Asked about the cost of used railway cars, Bernard replies that they are “cheap to buy but expensive to move.”

The steel “trucks” or wheels weighing 15 tons had to be removed and replaced with wheel dollies for highway transit. A

book of photos documents the task of moving the cars into their present location in the woods.

Bernard and McCluggage have no plans to construct a tourist attraction, “but we do get the odd person dropping in,” she says.

Contemplating the project she’s taken on, Bernard allows, “It seems a bit much at times. Maybe I should have had less grandiose plans.”

Séan McCann wows fans at Stirling Festival Theatre

By Terry McNamee Stirling—It was a magical night for fans of the Newfoundland group Great Big Sea and of Celtic and Newfoundland music as singer/musician Séan McCann performed live at the Stirling Festival Theatre on Wednesday, April 13.

Performing with only a couple of guitars and a bodhran for accompaniment, McCann won over everyone with his easy, laid-back renditions of popular songs made famous by the group he help found some 20 years ago. Although he and the band went their separate ways in December of 20

Section B - Thursday, April 21, 2016

2013, the music remains alive, and McCann has continued to write new music.

He won the crowd over with his very first song, sung without instrument or microphone, and had the audience enthralled for the rest of the show with such numbers as Ordinary Day and Good People.

He also talked about his years of alcoholism while with the band, and his four years of sobriety. Music, he said, is healing, and love and music combined make the world a better place for everyone.

The Stirling Festival Theatre has many shows coming up this spring.

This coming Friday, April 22, at 2 and 8 p.m., features The Elvis Show starring Garry Wesley and featuring Elaine Wesley as Patsy Cline. On Friday, April 29, Night Fever — An Evening of the BeeGees, features an all-Canadian cast. Both shows include performances at 2 and 8 p.m.

On A First Name Basis starring Norm Foster will be at the Theatre every day from May 4-8 with matinee and evening performances.

Meet Ken Capstick, a bartending hospital volunteer hero

By Stephen Petrick

Belleville – Ken Capstick works behind a bar in a well-known Belleville location.

His familiar face and smiling presence cheers up some of the regulars who can be found there.

“I’ll say ‘the bar is open, what would you like?’ Some say, ‘I’d like a margarita,’” Capstick said with a chuckle.

He can’t make those, because it’s not that kind of bar.

Capstick works as a volunteer at Belleville General Hospital, often manning a bar at the Aroma Café in the new Sills wing and working with patients who’ve visited the oncology department.

He’s one of 243 members of the BGH Auxiliary. These and other volunteers accounted for 32,475 hours of service in the hospital in 2015. In fact, volunteers between Quinte Health Care’s four hospitals accounted for about 110,000 hours in 2015; providing work that makes hospitals a more friendly and comfortable environment. The work of those volunteers was noted last week, as April 10 to 16 was recognized as National Volunteer Week.

Capstick realizes the work he does, especially with oncology patients, may be simple, but it makes the hospital have a more friendly environment. He’ll chat with guests in oncology, offer to get them coffee or juice, and answer any questions about how to get around the hospital.

It reduces the stress felt by patients, who are likely already going through a challenging health scare. And for Capstick, the work gives

him an uplifting feeling.

“I think everyone, when they retire, should do work as a volunteer,” the 80-year-old said.

“Otherwise you just lay around the house.

It gets you up in the morning and you feel better about yourself.”

Capstick retired about 16 years ago from a working career spent in a few different professions. He was a Warrant Officer in the Canadian Forces for several years.

He began volunteering for BGH about six years ago, not long after he had to visit the oncology department for blood treatments for himself.

He noticed there were many volunteers working in the hospital who did an excellent job, so he decided to join the team himself.

He also noted the vast majority of volunteers were women and he thought it would be nice if the auxiliary had more men. In time he’d learn he wasn’t alone in that opinion as the auxiliary, to this day, is encouraging more men to sign up.

Capstick doesn’t hesitate to recommend volunteering at the hospital to any interested person. He said, there are so many different areas people can work in that “really, there’s something for everybody.”

In fact, hospital volunteers can volunteer in 22 different service areas, said Catherine Walker, a spokesperson for Quinte Health Care.

She said the work hospital volunteers provide is incredibly valuable and the contributions they make to the hospital are hard to put into words or track on paper.

The 110,000 hours figure, she explained, is really a conservative estimate, because volun-

teers put in a lot of time and effort that’s hard to track.

Plus, she said, they help QHC officials make decision on how to provide service, as they’re so aware of what’s going on in the hospital that the information they provide staff is valuable.

“They step in with a different perspective,” she said. “It enriches our opportunity to do bet-

ter.”

But Capstick does it first and foremost to meet people and contribute to his community.

“It gets you out more and you meet a lot of people,” he said. “It’s good for your health.”

Sledge hockey clinic coming to Sports Centre Sunday

Belleville – It’s described as hockey from a new angle.

Sports lovers are encouraged to come out to free sledge hockey clinic at the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre on Sunday, April 14.

The event runs from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Family Dental Centre arena. Sledges and sticks will be provided, but participants are encouraged to bring their own helmet and gloves.

Sledge hockey is a popular Paralympic sport that looks essentially the same as hockey, only the players move on a sled low to the ice surface.

The event will include Brad Bowden, a Canadian sledge hockey and former Canadian wheelchair basketball player.

Bowden lives with sacral agenesis. He began playing sledge hockey in 1997 at aged 13, for the Kitchener Sidewinders. At the age of 15, he was selected for Canada’s national team. In 2003, he was named to the men’s national wheelchair basketball team, which eventually won gold in the 2004 summer Paralympic games. In 2006, he helped Canada’s sledge hockey team win Paralympic gold. Brad also collected the winning goal in Sochi, at the 2014 Paralympic Games to earn a bronze medal with the Canadian sledge hockey team. He is one of the few Paralympic athletes to win both a Paralympic gold medal in both the summer and winter games.

The event is being put on by Adaptive Sports Opportunities Quinte/Belleville, a new Facebook group that aims to provide resource for individuals with exceptionalities and to find

Chris and Kristen Whalen, parents of a sporty four-year-old girl who also happens to use a walker to get around, were finding it difficult to locate sport programming that was inclusive and would work for their child.

Half of the battle seemed to be where to begin the search for this type of extracurricular activity, they said.

And so was born a new Facebook commu-
