Coun. Egerton Boyce, Ruth Hatton and Golda Lafferty, branch Manager of TD Bank on Front Street, celebrate a grant for the city’s community garden program. Submitted photo Belleville – The city’s community garden program now has eight new raised garden beds thanks to a grant from the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation and a donation of landscape fabric from Battlefield Equipment, bringing the total to 89 plots at three separate locations.

The program started in 2012 and has expanded on almost a yearly basis to accommodate growing interest.

A lottery draw is held each year to designate the garden beds to Belleville residents who applied to the program. In 2016, there was a waiting list of over thirty people prompting the City’s Green Task Force to apply to TD FEF for funding to expand the program yet again.

The new beds can be found at the

Bayview Heights Community Garden on the city’s east end. Made of rough-cut cedar and equipped with water taps, these new beds will soon be planted with vegetables and herbs.

The other city-run community gardens are located at Ponton Park on Dundas Street West and West Hill greenspace on Octavia Street.

“The demand we see each year for the community gardens is overwhelming and renews our commitment to supporting food production on public land where it makes sense to do so,” says Coun. Egerton Boyce, who chairs the city’s green task force.

Don’t drive in flooded areas, police warn – and be wary of fish

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

closed. The water is unsafe for people to wade, walk or swim in, as it contains unseen dangers – sharp objects and debris, the city says.

Hastings Prince Edward Public Health is also checking for mosquito larva along the shoreline.

“Conditions are such that it is necessary to close certain waterfront roads completely,” said Mayor Taso Christopher in a statement issued Monday. “With the water levels as they are and continuing to rise and the damage this may do to our streets there is no alternative. We cannot emphasize enough the importance of people not walking in the water. This is extremely unsafe – the trails are closed, please respect these closures for the safety of you and your families.”

Those with concerns regarding residential flooding should direct them to fire dispatch at 613-962-2010. Leave contact information and someone will respond and assess the situation.

The city is also reminding residents that sandbags do not help with groundwater infiltration. If you are concerned for possible basement flooding, relocate your items and disconnect electrical appliances.

Those looking for weather and flood update information are encouraged to visit the Weather Network, Environment Canada and Quinte Conservation websites.

For information concerning drinking water affected by flooding or keeping food safe during a power failure search “emergency preparedness” on the health unit website, www.hpepublichealth.ca .

For more flood safety information or to find a licensed electrical contractor in your area visit esasafe.com .

The City will continue to monitor the flood situation, providing further updates as necessary.

Belleville – Police are warning motorists to stay away from flooded areas of the city for safety reasons.

And if that doesn’t deter you, consider that you could be killing fish, too.

Belleville police say several citizens in the South Front to South George Street area have called to raise concerns about drivers in the neighborhood, which on Monday remained partially submerged in water.

“Police are reminding citizens of the ongoing dangers of the flooding in this area and that driving on a closed road is an offence according to the Highway Traffic Act of Ontario,” police said in a media release. “Committing this offence may result in the issuance of a $85 ticket.”

The intersection of South George Street and South John Street in south Belleville provides a particularly dangerous situation for drivers, as water from the nearby Bay of Quinte spewed onto the streets more than a week ago, after days of heavy rain which has led to unprecedented high water levels in the bay and Lake Ontario water system.

The water system is so high that videos posted to social media in recent days show fish swimming in the urban neighborhood.

While Quinte Conservation says that water levels in the Moira, Salman and Napanee watersheds are now decreasing, the Bay of Quinte is expected to remain high for days – possibly weeks – to come.

Meanwhile, Belleville’s emergency control group met Monday to review the water levels.

The city says Victoria Park is now closed to the public and, for safety purposes, the following streets are also completely closed to all vehicular and pedestrian traffic: South George, To see a video of the fish in the flooded areas of South John, and South Church south of St. Belleville look for the online version of this story Paul Street. Harbour Drive is closed also.

OPINION

Preposterous times: It’s going to be a long 4 years All the talk of special prosecutors and the like will not bring the man to book. The soap opera will continue and no amount of dysfunction in the White House will make it stop until early 2019 at best. Even though a great deal of damage will have done by then.

Gwynne Dyer been Some of the damage will only affect the United States. Donald Trump doesn’t often violate the Constitution, but he breaks all the unwritten rules that regulate the behaviour of public officials: don’t use your office to enrich yourself, don’t give plum jobs to your relatives, don’t fire the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation because he’s leading an investigation into possibly treasonous behaviour among your close associates.

However, these are domestic American problems, and the American republic will survive them. In four years, or at most eight, Trump will be gone, and more-or-less normal service will resume. But the same recklessness, brought to bear on foreign affairs, may have far bigger consequences.

Most of the concern at the moment is focused on North East Asia where Trump’s scarcely veiled threat to “do something” about North Korea could escalate a long-standing problem into a “major, major conflict”. But most other major players in the North East Asian game are grownups who do not want a nuclear war in their region, so the risk of a calamity there is much smaller than it looks.

The Middle East is more frightening than north east Asia in this context, for half the countries of the regions are already at war one way or another, none of the regimes really feels secure – and Trump has already launched a missile strike against the Syrian regime.

He justified it as retaliation for the alleged use of poison gas by the Assad regime – an allegation that has not been conclusively proved – but most people in the region take it as a sign that he is joining the Sunni side of a region-wide SunniShia war.

This alignment didn’t start with Trump, of course. For more than half a century the United States has seen Saudi Arabia, the effective leader of the Sunni bloc, as its most important ally in the Middle East, and for the past forty years it has regarded Iran as the root of all evil in the region.

Iran is the leader of the Shia bloc. In fact, it is the only big and powerful Shia country. Trump has already expressed hostility towards Iran, and his intentions to abandon the treaty that President Obama signed to contain Iran’s nuclear weapons

ambitions for the next ten years. And on Friday Trump is making his first foreign visit – to Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the defacto ruler of Saudi Arabia and leader of the Sunni bloc.

Although Prince Mohammed is almost forty years younger than Donald Trump, the two men share several striking characteristics. The Saudi Arabian leader (his father, King Salman, is 81 and not fully functional) is not as ignorant as Trump, but the two men are almost twins in temperament. The Prince is just as vain as Trump, just as impulsive, and just as likely to start a fight he can’t finish.

Prince Mohammed’s escalation of Saudi Arabian support for the al Qaeda-linked faction in the Syrian civil war two years ago was the direct cause for the Russian intervention that ultimately saved the Assad regime. His military intervention in Yemen, trying to put the Saudi Arabian-imposed president back into power has led only to an unwinnable war and a looming famine in the country. And he’s up for fighting Iran too.

In an interview broadcast this month on Saudi TV he said: “we will not wait until the battle is in Saudi Arabia. We will work so the battle is in Iran.” Why? Because, according to the Prince, Iran’s leaders are planning to seize Islam’s most sacred city, Mecca, in the heart of Saudi Arabia, and establish their rule over the world’s billion and a half Muslims.

This is paranoid nonsense. Only one tenth of the world’s Muslims are Shia. The only three Muslim countries (out of 50) where they are the majority are Iran, Iraq and tiny Bahrein.

Iran sends troops to help the beleaguered, Shiadominated Assad regime in Syria, and money and weapons to the (Shia) Hezbollah movement in Lebanon. But in the 38 years since the current regime came to power in Tehran, it has never invaded anybody And the notion that it could or would invade Saudi Arabia is simply laughable.

Never-the-less, what matters here are not the facts but what Trump and Prince Mohammed may believe to be the facts. So the prospect of the two men getting together in Riyadh will arouse dread in Iran, and in some other quarters as well.

It’s preposterous to imagine that Saudi Arabia would attack Iran directly or that the United States would encourage Saudi Arabia or pursue such a strategy – or that Russia would let itself be drawn in on the other side. But we do live in preposterous times.

There is no chance that the Republican majority in the US Congress would impeach Donald Trump before the mid-term elections in late 2018 no matter what he does. Unless there is a complete collapse in the Republican vote then, they won’t impeach him either. It’s going to be a long four years.

Man jumps in Moira River to evade police Belleville – A police chase Wednesday ended in the Moira River and led to a soaking wet Kingston man being arrested.

Belleville Police were called to a North Front Street business at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 10 on a report of a shoplifter.

When confronted by staff the man, police were told, made threatening remarks.

He then ran off towards East Riverside Park.

Police located him a short time later. When confronted by police, he then jumped into the Moira River in an

Men walk in high heels to combat violence against women

BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Belleville – It was a sight to behold on Saturday, May 13, as a group of men in bright red high heels lurched their way along Front Street to fight domestic abuse.

The event, called Walk a Mile in Her Shoes, raises awareness of the serious problems of physical, sexual and emotional abuse many women face both in the home and elsewhere, and the raised funds go towards Three Oaks Foundation. The Foundation raises funds for the Three Oaks Shelter and Services, which assists abused women and their children.

“We had 32 registered walkers, but looked like more than 60 actually walking,” Foundation executive director Sandy Watson-Moyles said Monday.

She said the walk itself raised more than $8,200, while corporate sponsors added another $4,000 and the Quinte Secondary School Walk a Mile Committee raised another $1,000.

The two Giant Tiger stores in Belleville held a fundraiser where customers could contribute to the cause at the checkout, which provided another $2,300.

Watson-Moyles said the foundation also held an online auction that is expected to generate about $1,000 when all of the winning bids are added up, for a grand total of more than $16,000.

The day also included music by The Getaway, an interactive area from the Children’s Safety Village, the Giant Tiger mascot and Sparky the Fire Dog. Three Oaks provides services in Belleville, Quinte West, Hastings County and Prince Edward County.

To access any of its services, including in an emergency, call 613-966-3074 or toll-free 1-800-267-0533. These numbers are answered 24 hours a day.

Hundreds of families help Butterfly Run soar in second year

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – The Butterfly Run is soaring to new heights.

Hundreds of people came out to the second-annual event at West Zwick’s Island Park on Sunday, May 7 helping the event raise close to $100,000. They braved chilly and extraordinarily wet conditions to circle the waterfront trail to support families who’ve experienced a loss during birth or pregnancy.

It all happened after a touching opening ceremony, which featured a moment of silence, tear-jerking inspiring music and a quick ode to tiny souls who died before their lives could really begin.

“You are the reasons we keep going,” said Barb Matteucci, one of the event’s founders. “Rest well.”

Matteucci, Beth Primeau and Loralee McInroy, three local woman who have each experienced their own harrowing stories, worked to launch the Butterfly Run last year.

The event debuted at Jane Forrester Park and raised more than $76,000, shattering the goal of $5,000.

That money paid for “butterfly kits” and “early loss butterfly kits” to distribute to families who have lost a baby. The event was run with support from the Belleville General Hospital Foundation.

Those kits included resources, such as books and brochures, as well as keepsakes and words of encouragement (in the form of a letter from another mother), to help with the healing process.

They also paid for new equipment and resources for Quinte 7 – the name for the maternity ward on the top floor of Belleville General Hospital.

A show of hands at the opening ceremony seemed to indicate that this year’s run had about double the number of last year’s.

Matteucci thanked the community, noting it’s “rallied behind us.” She also thanked several families who’ve since come forward to share stories about their tragic experiences during pregnancy.

When the three woman launched the walk last year their goal was to “break the silence” on the topic of miscarriage or stillbirths. Although those words carry incredible sadness, they believe no one benefits if these experiences are not shared.

Women, they believe, need to speak to other woman about what they went through, in order to heal and move on with their lives.

“Thank you for sharing your silence,” Matteucci said. “You are making change and breaking the silence around infant loss.”

Congratulations

from your Metroland Partners on your 3rd Location Grand Opening in Quinte West!

Several families take off from the start line of the family walk at the Butterfly Run at West Zwick’s Island Park on Sunday, May 7. Stephen Petrick/Metroland

Grade 7 student’s image to become new logo for city inclusion committee Belleville – The image shows a bunch of crayons, of different colours, placed side by side with smiling faces. And those crayons, the artwork suggests, have the ability to make something beautiful.

The piece completed by Holly Morton, a Grade 7 student at Harry J. Clarke Public School, was chosen to serve as the new logo for the city’s inclusion committee, a group that meets regularly to promote multi-culturalism and equality.

The image was unveiled at a ceremony at the Belleville Public Library on May 10, after the committee unanimously voted to accept the logo, which was submitted as part of a contest that drew more than 100 entries.

“The logo submission from Holly Morton is truly a reflection of how inclusive communities work,” said Coun. Garnet Thompson, who chairs the committee. “The contest allowed the city to engage the community in the conversation around inclusivity and the resulting logo will be used by the committee in their work for years to come.”

Mayor Taso Christopher also attended the celebration and praised the work of the committee. It was behind a recent trip to Ottawa to honour vicitms of the January Quebec City mosque shooting. It also now holds an annual party to celebrate the city’s multi-culturalism.

“Belleville is becoming a multi-cultural inclusive community and the work of the city and the committee will only move Belleville further along the path of ensuring every citizen can contribute their best to make Belleville an even better place to live, work, play and invest,” stated Mayor Taso Christopher.

Window clings, stickers and pins featuring the new logo and the tag line “Stronger Together” are now available for pick up at Belleville City Hall and every business, organization and institution is encouraged to display the new logo proudly in their building to ensure everyone knows Belleville is inclusive.

For more information on the work of the committee or how to use the new logo contact the Economic and Strategic Initiatives department at Belleville City Hall.

City officials gathered at the library May 10 to unveil the new logo for Belleville’s inclusion committee.

Belleville – Those crazy cats at Glanmore National Historic Site have danced their way to international fame.

A team from the East Hill Belleville museum recently made a funny dancing video titled “Glanmore Loves Cats” and sent it to a contest, run by the website, www.whenyouworkatamuseum.com.

The contest was launched to promote museums to young people, and show, in the words of a past press release, that “museums aren’t dusty, dingy hallways full of creaky old nerds in orthopedic shoes and bowties. They are vibrant, lively places full of talented, creative people who love what they do.”

Glanmore’s video gained plenty of support in an online vote and edged out the Royal Alberta Museum to win the contest’s Canadian championship.

It was then put into a contest with three other international museums, to see who could gather the most votes in a contest known as the International Museum Dance Off. That contest was eventually won by Hungary’s Herman Otto Museum, which earned more than 100,000 votes (55.51 per cent).

Second place went to the Las Vegas-based Mob Museum, which earned 50,636 votes (27.73 per cent). Third place went to the Museum of Applied Arts & Sciences in Australia, with 21,593 votes (11.89 per cent). Glanmore finished fourth in the international competition, with 8,840 votes (4.87 per cent).

The Belleville Choral Society performs at Bridge Street church.

Belleville – There’s nothing stodgy about the Belleville Choral Society when it comes to moving with an African beat, as they did for Sunday’s concert, “Out of Africa” in Bridge Street church.

Special guest for the concert was tenor-baritone soloist Eddy Baraka Mon, who learned to sing African folk songs at his mother’s knee in Kenya before coming to Canada for further education on a charity program called Chalice, based in Halifax. He is now studying at the Jacobs School of Music in the United States. The audience was told Sunday’s performance by Mony as soloist for several songs, was his first in Canada.

Dressed in colourful costumes and swaying rhythmically to the music, the choir, under Mirijam Spoelstra and accompanied by Diane Ackerman, put their hearts into their singing, opening with a powerful “African Psalm, (Lift your voice in singing”) followed by an old-time spiritual, “Ain’t that Good News” and the stirring, “Go Down Moses,” sung in lively gospel style.

Accompanied by Spoelstra herself, Mony then sang a tender Italian love ballad, “Core

Jack Evans/Metroland

‘Ngrato” and was joined for a duet by choir soprano Julianna Psarris called “The Prayer.”

Mony went on to add his voice with the choir for solos in the stirring “Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves” from the Verdi opera, “Nabucco.”

Joining the orchestra for several numbers were extra musicians, including players of the percussion, flute, saxophone and djimbe, an African drum.

After an intermission, during which choir members mingled with the audience, Mony’s solo voice could be heard back stage in the African freedom song, “Siyahamba,” joined by the choir and a swaying march back to their seats, the audience clapping along.

All around, it was a stirring, fun concert with great blend, clear enunciation and smooth unit sound between the four part voices. The closing number was an African version of The Lord’s Prayer, “Baba Yetu.”

Master of Ceremonies for this concert was Quinte Broadcasting’s Tim Durkin.

The choral society is now working on a special Christmas concert, to be joined by the Centre Hastings ensemble, Carpe Diem, on Sunday, Dec. 3.

Formed in 1959, the choir continues to carry on with a constant change of new faces and singing talent.

Canadian Hearing Society employees return to work Belleville – Canadian Hearing Society employees in Belleville returned to work Monday, following a strike that took them off the job for more than two months.

The strike impacted 227 employees provincewide, including three in Belleville who work out of an office at the Bay View Mall.

The CHS provides sign language interpreters to members of the deaf community, and runs support programs for infants and seniors with hearing problems. It also offers mental health services.

Yet many of these services stopped on March

6, when employees, represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employee took job action.

They had been working without a contract for the past four years.

A press released issued by the CHS was short on details, but expressed gratefulness that the ordeal is over.

“The Canadian Hearing Society is pleased that we have achieved a renewal collective agreement with CUPE Local 2073. The bargaining teams for both the union and CHS worked hard to reach this deal,” said Julia Dumanian, President and CEO, of the CHS.

May Is Huntington Disease Awareness Month — and one Belleville woman’s commitment is stronger than ever SUBMITTED BY THE HUNTINGTON SOCIETY OF CANADA

Belleville – In February 2016, Judy Harding’s son, Paul, died of Huntington disease (HD). He was just 38. Paul inherited the fatal neurological disease from his father.

For more than a decade, he struggled with alcoholism and the gradual loss of muscle control and for a short period, he struggled with schizophrenic symptoms as well. But for Judy, the very worst came at the end.

“My hardest thing with Paul was the last four months of his life,” she recalls. “His eyes didn’t twinkle and he couldn’t smile. That was the hardest four months of it all, because he always smiled.”

Tragically, Paul was not the first child she had to bury. In 2010, her daughter Vicki also died from HD, after a long struggle with her own alcoholism, anxiety and psychosis. Crueler still, Judy’s oldest daughter, Chrissy, will also develop the genetic disease.

As a registered nurse, Judy knew how to advocate to make sure her children got the care they needed. However, even in the medical world, she has encountered doctors who lack basic information about the disease. “We still have educational work to do, plain and simple,” she says.

Judy has been in the thick of that work since 1999, when she joined her local chapter of the Huntington Society of Canada (HSC). Since then, she has worked tirelessly to raise funds and awareness for the HD cause.

Although there’s plenty more to be done,

Judy points to significant achievements. Today, families in the area have better access to social workers, while advances in research give her hope that treatments will be developed in time to help her two at-risk grandsons. “HSC is making a difference, the researchers are making a difference. We’re going to get it,” she says with confidence.

In March, Judy gave up her post as HSC’s Niagara chapter president when she moved to Belleville, Ontario to be closer to family. She leaves behind big shoes to fill, as well as a chapter quick to heap on the praise. Judy shrugs off the compliments. For her, it boils down to maternal instincts. “They all think I’m a saint,” she says.

“But I’m just a mother.”

The month of May carries a particular significance because it’s Huntington Disease Awareness Month. During this time, volunteers are hard at work raising awareness about Huntington disease, a rare genetic disorder that causes brain cells to die. A person with HD becomes less able to control movements, recall events, make decisions and control emotions. The disease leads to incapacitation and, eventually, death.

“It is the dedication and support of people like Judy that are the fabric of the Huntington Society. Volunteers who go above and beyond help us grow, achieve impactful results and reach our goals,” says Bev Heim-Myers, Chief Executive Officer of the Huntington Society of Canada. “We are incredibly fortunate for people like Judy and the thousands of volunteers who

Queen Victoria school’s Adventure Class teachers earn kudos from PM Belleville – Every day is an adventure for Sheryl Parker and Susan Grace Sewell-Charles, a team of teachers at Queen Victoria public school in Belleville’s east hill neighbourhood.

And because of their great work with the program, known as the Adventure Class, they’ve been awarded a Prime Minister’s Award for Teaching Excellence Certificate of Achievement.

The Prime Minister’s Awards honour outstanding and innovative elementary and secondary school teachers in all disciplines for remarkable achievements and for preparing students for a digital and innovation-based economy.

The Certificate of Achievement award includes a cash prize of $1,000 that may be used for professional development, equipment, resource materials, website development, teaching aids or other tools that improve teaching and student learning. Each recipient receives a pin, as well as a letter and a certificate signed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The Adventure Class, located on the bottom floor of the old school house, is a multi-grade classroom that focuses on teaching about the environment, global citizenship and local community.

Parents are directly involved in the planning and delivery of the curriculum, which leads to additional field trips and regular visits to special education centres, such as the Frink Centre.

Parents apply to have their kids entered into the “alternative education� program, run by the Hastings Prince Edward District School Board.

One teacher focuses on students from Grades 1 to 3 and another focuses on students in Grades 4 to 6. “Sheryl and Susan embody the personal qualities to inspire children to take risks, to see the world and learning through a lens of wondering, and to have the confidence to value the uniqueness of individuals’ strengths and challenges,� said Queen Victoria principal Tina Elliott.

The government website that announced the award said Parker and Sewell-Charles have designed a community-based system through which older students mentor their younger classmates, allowing students to learn at different paces in different topics. Each child’s success represents the group’s success.

The award also recognizes Parker’s past work as a co-founder of Project Achieve, an anti-poverty initiative funded by the Ministry of Education and the Elementary Teachers’ Federation to dissipate myths and stereotypes surrounding poverty in schools. Messages of equality are shared daily at the Adventure Class to this day.

Parker and Sewell-Charles had their students build a Giving Tree, where they hung bags of hats, mitts and socks, as well as a sign inviting Susan Grace Sewell-Charles (left) and Sheryl Parker teach the Adventure Class at Queen Victoria school.

This weight loss clinic hopes to give you Exactly What You Need

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – “Exactly What You Need” is a new slogan that guides weight losers these days. It’s also the part of the full name of a franchise business that’s recently expanded into Belleville to help people think about new ways to get in shape.

The business, known for its abbreviated title EWYN Weight Loss Studios, is now open at 393 Sidney St. Ashley Simiana, a Frankford woman who opened the Belleville franchise, says its weight management program is based on three pillars; an emphasis on buying real grocerystore-bought food, coaching and using natural products.

While Simiana has worked at different weight loss businesses in the past,

she was intrigued when she learned about EWYN, a franchise that started in Western Ontario recently and has quickly expanded eastward.

She believes the program is popular because it doesn’t necessarily ask participants to greatly shrink their food intake. It’s more about directing people to eat the proper foods to improve their metabolism and live a healthier lifestyle.

“We don’t calorie count,” Simiana said, agreeing that that task is dreadful for most dieters. “Most people don’t like doing math.”

She said when an interested customer comes into the studio, they’re encouraged to fill out a form and complete a roughly 45 minute consultation. The staff can then determine a program that works best for the client.

Even those who don’t want to join a program can still come into the studio to purchase nutritional products.

Simiana said it’s a privilege to work in the weight-loss business, as when she witnesses people lose weight, she also sees them feel better about themselves and have a more confident, glowing personality.

“It’s the most rewarding career you can have,” she said.

For details on EWYN Weight Loss Studio visit www.ewynstudios.com or follow the Belleville business on its Facebook page.

The team at EWYN Weight Loss Studios includes (from left) Renee Dinnag, Jennifer Barnes, Ashley Simiana and Chrissy Taylor. Stephen Petrick/Metroland

Bayview Mall - 470 Dundas St. E. Belleville 14 Belleville News - Thursday, May 18, 2017

City catches Ultimate Frisbee provincial junior tournament Belleville – A provincial Ultimate Frisbee junior tournament is coming to the region after the Bay of Quinte Regional Marketing Board and the city of Belleville recently worked together to secure the event for the weekend of July 15-16.

More than 300 athletes will descend upon Mary Ann Sills Park for the event, which is expected to generate more than $100,000 in economic activity.

The five side-by-side fields at MAS helped entice Ultimate officials to bring the tournament to Belleville, organizers said.

“Having those five fields in one location is a huge reason the tournament is coming to Belleville. When there are dozens of teams playing throughout the weekend, they don’t want to be spread out all over the city,” said Trevor Norris of the Bay of Quinte marketing board.

“We showed that Mary Ann Sills Park could accommodate all of the games in one location and it was a big part of their decision.”

Teri-Lynne Belanger from Canadian Ultimate noted that this provincial championship is a qualifier for teams wanting to compete at nationals, which will be held in Ottawa in August.

As a result, it will be a strong field, with the 2015 champions and 2016 silver medalists from Toronto both competing.

Getting the lead for this tournament was a result of Norris attending the recent Sports Events Congress, put on the Canadian Sport

Tourism Alliance (CSTA).

The CSTA is Canada’s leading sport membership body, consisting of over 400 national, provincial and regional sport organizations and municipal members. One of the main reasons to attend the conference is to create and foster relationships with sports organizations in an effort to land tournaments, which he was working to do on behalf of Belleville and Quinte West.

During the “speed dating component” of the event, Norris also held meetings with Hockey Canada, Skate Canada, Canadian Soccer Association, Canadian Ball Hockey Association, Golf Association of Ontario and others.

“What a great experience,” Norris continues. “Basically, you get about seven minutes to sit down with each of these national or provincial organizations to try and convince them why they should bring their tournament to the region. Luckily, in Belleville and Quinte West, we’ve got excellent affordability of hotel rooms and restaurants, great proximity to larger city centres and very strong indoor and outdoor venues.”

Norris is currently working on other leads, including a national Ultimate Frisbee event slated for the fall.

For now, his task at hand is working with city officials Larry Glover and Mary Boyd to help co-ordinate all of the elements around the Ultimate tournament, including hotel rooms, catering, and sponsorship.

Belleville – The Belleville-hosted OFSAA track and field championships are less than a month away and numerous local athletes last Wednesday made the first attempt in the effort to land a spot at the event.

The Bay of Quinte Track and Field championships were held May 10 at the Bruce Faulds Track at Mary-Anne Sills Park.

Top-eight finishers earned spots at the COSSA championships, for Central Ontario schools,

to be held Thursday, May 18 at the same location.

Top finishers there will earn a spot at the East Regionals, May 25-26, in Ottawa.

It’s the last qualifying meet before the Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic Association championships comes to Mary-Anne Sills Park June 1-3.

Blake’s sheer awesome season nets him Robinson-Kelleher Award Belleville – At six-foot-eight, Blake Sheerhoorn is hard to miss.

And the City of Belleville certainly noticed his outstanding season on the volleyball court – even thought it took place on the other side of the country.

Scheerhorn was named the Robinson-Kelleher Memorial Award winner for 2016, at a ceremony at the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre on Wednesday, May 10.

The award goes to city’s top amateur athlete of the year.

Scheerhoorn’s parents picked up the award on his behalf, because he’s currently training with the Canadian national men’s volleyball team.

Scheerhoorn, a graduate of Quinte Christian High School and its renowned volleyball team, recently helped the Trinity Western Spartans to a second-straight Canadian university men’s volleyball championship title.

They won the title by going undefeated in the postseason, finishing with a 3-1 victory over the host Alberta Golden Bears in Edmonton.

As a second-year outside player, Scheerhoorn put up some impressive numbers for the Langley, B.C.-based school.

In 24 matches, he had 224 kills, averaging 2.41 kills per set. He also had 13 service aces on the year.

Scheerhoorn is now hoping to land a roster spot on the national team, as it prepares to compete in the 2020 summer Olympic games in Tokyo.

Belleville Senators will play in AHL’s North Division Belleville – The American Hockey League (AHL) announced its division alignment for the 2017-18 season on Thursday May 11, with the new Belleville Senators playing in the newlook North Division.

Belleville will be in a group that includes the Toronto Marlies, the top farm team of the Toronto Maple Leafs, and the Laval Rocket, the top affiliate team of the Montreal Canadiens.

Also in the seven-team North Division for 2017-18 will be the Binghamton Devils. The Senators are moving from Binghamton this season to Belleville, with the New Jersey Devils relocating their top farm team to Binghamton.

The other teams in the North Division include the Rochester Americans, top farm team of the Buffalo Sabres; the Syracuse Crunch, the Tampa Bay Lightning’s top affiliate, and the Utica Comets, top farm team of the Vancouver Canucks.

The American Hockey League schedule will be released later this summer, but the league features pri-

marily regional play, so fans in the Bay of Quinte region will see their division rivals numerous times throughout the regular season and (hopefully) playoffs.

“We are delighted to be in a division that features so many natural rivalries,” Rob Mullowney, Chief Operating Officer of the Belleville Senators, says. “Bay of Quinte fans will have the opportunity on a regular basis to see us face the farm teams of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens.”

Belleville Senators General Manager Randy Lee feels the new alignment will help the franchise better develop players for the National Hockey League.

“It is a terrific division for us to be playing in for a lot of reasons,” Lee says.

“We’ll be facing a lot of our rivals which fans will love, and the close travel allows us lots of practice time so we can continue to invest in our players’ development so they can move on to the next level. We are really looking forward to the new alignment.”

Shaw Boomhower’s play with OHL’s Steelheads gets NHL’s attention The Mississauga Steelheads Ontario Hockey League season came to an end on the weekend, but not before Belleville’s Shaw Boomhower helped to make a name for himself.

The 18-year-old was a regular fixture in the Steelheads’ lineup as they made their way to the league championship series, where they lost to the Erie Otters in five games.

Boomhower played in 17 playoff games and recorded one goal, two assists and 30 penalty minutes.

During the regular season he

played 60 games and recorded seven goals and 10 assists.

A year earlier, he played in the OJHL with the Wellington Dukes.

In 2014-15 he split time between the Quinte Red Devils minor midget team and the Picton Pirates of the Empire B Junior C League.

Boomhower is eligible for this summer’s National Hockey League draft.

The website Elite Hockey Prospects says he’s currently ranked 112 by NHL Central Scouting.

Teachers go the extra mile for Relay for Life

BY MARTIN DURKIN

Students at École élémentaire publique Cité-Jeunesse in Trenton recently had a blast as two teachers agreed to have their heads shaved.

Grade one teacher Margaret Doyon-Nadeau, came up with an idea to have a Relay for Life at the French public schools on the military base in Trenton. A relay participant in Quebec, Nadeau wanted to continue the tradition here in Ontario.

“I used to walk it back in Que-

bec City, with my friend who had cancer when she was 22 and for my grandfather who is also a cancer survivor,” said Nadeau.

Students were quickly on board and an incentive was given to help raise funds. The total goal is to raise $15,000 for the May 26 relay at Marc Garneau park. Along the way teachers have agreed to participate in events such as head shaving, hair dying, and for the male teachers, leg waxing if certain goals are reached. At $10,000, Nadeau agreed to have

her head shaved in front of the school, with her students each getting a chance to slice some of her locks off. $12,600 was quickly reached.

Also at the head shaving event, another teacher agreed to take part in having her head meet the razor. Teacher Madame MariePier, was the first lady to go in front of the school, and it was her son that had the honours of removing the hair.

However, this moment inside the gymnasium wasn’t just for

the students to see their teachers fulfill their promise, for Pier and her son Nicolas, it was something much more special.

Now a grade four student, Nicolas is a cancer survivor. Diagnosed last year, he is currently in remission.

Nadeau was the second teacher up, and each student delighted in getting their chance in using the scissors on their now, favourite teacher.

“I’ve given my hair to cancer two times when it was long

enough, but this is the first time shaving, so I don’t know what I’ll look like, I’ve never seen my head!” Said Nadeau.

The May 26 event will be a bilingual and military event.

Participants will take to the field from 11 a.m. until 11 p.m. and everyone is welcome to come out and cheer the students on.

If you would like to help with the cause either financially or by participating in the 12-hour relay, call the school and ask for Nadeau.

These students from Pinecrest School, Bloomfield, were among the participants at Friday night’s school closure meeting at West Lake. Jack Evans/Metroland in his township, “there are 19 errors in the report positively identified.”

“Speed kills,” said one speaker. “Let’s slow down, maybe close a school or two every few years, not 600 all at once.”

One parent from Sophiasburgh Ward in Prince Edward related a detailed effort by parents to present optional uses for their school. They included a cooking school for the community but would require volunteers and they would all have to have police checks. “I am a police officer and I still need a check,” she said. One speaker spoke about a rural school near Kingston where in recent years the community partnered with the school to create a local library for general use.

“Our school is targeted to close. What happens to the books?” the woman asked.

One man described the whole exercise as a “farce,” suggesting that decisions are being forced from the top down. One trustee, Tom Mahoney from Centre Hastings, said he was given two large binders of background details and expected to make a decision at the next board meeting. Several parents insisted their demands for detailed information and suggestions were consistently ignored. One was told that to get the information they required would cost over $126,000.

Lack of information was one of the main concerns voiced

during the meeting. A number of students from Pinecrest School, Bloomfield, also targeted to close, attended, as did Todd Smith, the MPP for Hastings-Prince Edward.

Smith, a member of the Opposition Progressive Conservative Party, questioned the ministry’s motives for the sessions, affirming that every MPP in Ontario is well aware of concerns by municipal politicians, school administrations, teachers, parents and students and well prepared to advise them.

He said the closure program in his riding will involve hundreds of jobs in support services to start with.

Another consistent concern was the concept of using Kindergarten through Grade 12 schools, to make more efficient use of properties. Parents were concerned at safety and wisdom with no background knowledge of how they would work.

(The K-12 system has been used in Australia for many years, where residents report it effective and how all ages of siblings help look after and monitor each other.) The din in the crowded hall during plenary table sessions was like a classroom out of control at times, but most tables reported consensus on many issues. But it was not the kind of consensus the ministry wanted to hear. If there’s such a thing as the mythical Pandora’s box, the ministry appears to have opened it up.

MPP Smith slams Liberals after leaked hydro document surfaces

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – A leaked government document obtained by The Toronto Star suggests hydro rates are sure to rise even more in the coming years.

It’s more fodder for Prince-Edward Hastings Member of Provincial Parliament Todd Smith to shun the ruling Liberal government on, as Smith is the energy critic for the Opposition Progressive Conservative Party.

The document says rates will start rising 6.5 per cent a year in 2022 and top out at 10.5 per cent in 2028, when average monthly bills hit $215.

The plan also means the return of the Debt Retirement Charge – under a slightly different name, starting in 2025, according to Smith.

This upward trends of rates would also essentially negate the 25per cent hydro rate cut the Liberal government approved for this summer, upon hearing from Ontarians that hydro rates are too high and hampering the economy.

“When the government came out with their scheme, we knew that they weren’t fixing the underlying problems with the system and they were just creating a large debt and hiding MPP Todd Smith speaks at a recent meeting. Smith is the energy critic for the PCs. it at Ontario Power Generation,” File photo Smith said in a statement. “They’ll record levels.” company through monthly hydro Charge, was taken off bills at the use it to subsidize rates until we get Ontarians paid off debt accumu- bills for several years until the fee, start of 2016. through the next election, at which But Smith believes it’s making a point hydro rates start going back to lated by the former Ontario Hydro known as the Debt Retirement

comeback in 2026 and will be four times the size of the old charge by 2028, at more than $21 on every bill.

“The return of the Debt Retirement Charge tells you all you need to know about how the Liberals view peoples’ hydro bills.” Smith added. “They don’t think this is a problem for people’s pocketbooks, they think this is a problem for their re-election chances. A $21 Debt Retirement Charge is five times as big as the charge was the last time it was on your bill.”

The leaked papers overshadowed Energy Minister Glenn Thibeault’s efforts to tout the price break, which will be followed with four years of hydro rate increases at 2 per cent, roughly the rate of inflation.

Thibeault charged that the Conservatives used an “outdated” document to distract from the fact that they are the only major party without a plan for dealing with skyrocketing hydro rates, with a year to go until next June’s provincial election.

“It’s not a coincidence,” he told reporters, denying any plans for an eventual 10.5-per-cent rate hike and promising the government’s new long-term energy plan, due in a few months, will have better numbers.

“We are working hard right now to continue to pull costs out of the system.”

TRAVEL

BY JOHN M. SMITH

Another Dozen of Canada’s Great National Parks

Last summer, I wrote a piece in which I listed a dozen of Canada’s great national parks, and I mentioned that, in celebration of our 150th birthday celebrations in 2017, our national parks would be free. Well, that time has now arrived, so this might be the perfect summer to explore some of these. In my previous travel piece, I wrote about these national parks: Banff, Cape Breton Highlands, Fundy, Gros Morne, Jasper, Kluane, Point Pelee, Prince Albert, Prince Edward Island, Thousand Islands, Wapusk, and Wood Buffalo.

Well, just in case that dozen isn’t enough for you, here’s another dozen of our most interesting, worthwhile national parks: 1 Bruce Peninsula: This fascinating Ontario park is located

near Tobermory and along the Georgian Bay coastline. It’s on a section of the Niagara Escarpment that’s adorned with intriguing caves and cliffs. Visitors will want to check out its most popular attraction, the Grotto, for it’s a big cave that was carved out by the waves of Georgian Bay over thousands of years, and it’s possible to walk along an edge inside its cavity.

2 Forillon: Quebec’s first national park is located on the tip of the Gaspe Peninsula, and it offers almost vertical cliffs along its rugged shoreline. Seal colonies and a plethora of seabirds find shelter here. The peninsula’s most prominent feature is a lighthouse that rises high above the St. Lawrence, the Pointe-au-Pere National Historic Site, and it guides boats past the formidable

headland.

3 Georgian Bay Islands: Comprised of several islands and islets, this small park is part of an archipelago that stretches along the eastern shoreline of Georgian Bay. The park is only accessible by water, so a kayak or a canoe would give you the ability to explore many of the inlets and bays at your leisure. However, the park’s own passenger vessel, the Day Tripper, is available, as well as water taxis operated by local marinas, and there are boat tours that will allow you to view even more of the area’s 30,000 islands.

4 Glacier: Many snow-capped mountain peaks and a bevy of avalanche slopes can be seen from the portion of the Trans Canada Highway that bisects this park. For me, several years

some of the smaller ones.

6 Nahanni: This is yet another National Park Reserve, and this one is located in the southwest corner of the Northwest Territories. The centerpiece of this park is the Nahanni River, with its awesome canyons and treacherous rapids. The South Nahanni River itself twists through the park for 320 km., past three immense canyons, boiling hot springs, icy caves, and soaring mountains. If this isn’t enough, there’s also Virginia Falls – but if you’re paddling, don’t miss the portage, for this spectacular falls plummets almost twice as far down as Niagara Falls!

7 Pacific Rim: This is yet another National Park Reserve, and it’s made up of three separate regions (Long Beach, the Broken Group Islands, and the West Coast Trail). It’s renowned for its lush rainforests and rugged coastline, and it’s located along the southwest corner of Vancouver Island. I spent my time in the most accessible and popular region of this park reserve, Long Beach. It’s the coastal area located between the villages of Ucluelet and Tofino, and it has the most extensive sand dune/beach area found on all of Vancouver Island.

8 Quttinirpaaq: This park, the name of which translates as “the top of the world”, is our northernmost, located in Nunavut, on the northeastern corner of Ellesmere Island. It’s also our second largest (after Wood Buffalo National Park), and it offers a rugged wilderness and isolation. You’ll probably have a lot of wide open space to yourself, so travel prepared. It’s even a requirement that all visitors must register and attend a mandatory orientation session with park staff prior to entering this remote park.

ago, the highlight was cycling through the park’s awesome Rogers Pass. Looking back now, it’s hard to believe that I was able to pedal through this very challenging park, stopping at the Rogers Pass National Historic Site at the summit. I had begun that morning in Revelstoke and cycled through the park, including several snow tunnels, and on to Golden in one day. What an accomplishment!

5 Gulf Islands: This is one of Canada’s Park Reserves in the system of national parks and park reserves, and it’s located between Vancouver Island and the mainland of British Columbia. The larger islands, including Mayne, Saturna, North Pender, and South Pender, are accessible by ferry, but you’ll need your own kayak or canoe to reach

“JONAH” May 23-25

Manitoba Escarpment, stands in sharp contrast to the surrounding prairie farmland. Route #10 cuts through this park, and there are over 400 km. of trails available for hikers, horse riders, and mountain bikers.

10 Torngat Mountains: This is our newest national park and Labrador’s first. It’s yet another remote park, so registration with park officials is mandatory. It’s a land of mountains, glaciers, caribou, and polar bears, and there are no roads or campgrounds. In fact, Parks Canada recommends that a visitor engage the services of a trained Inuit polar bear guard when hiking in this park.

11 Waterton Lakes: It’s located in southwest Alberta, next to Montana’s Glacier National Park, so the two destinations are often visited together. I can remember being greeted by a snow storm on my visit to this area one July! However, it can also be very warm here in the summer. It just depends. I’d recommend a drive on its Red Rock Parkway, especially during peak wildflower season. At the end of the road, a short hike will take you through a pine forest to Blakiston Falls – or a longer trail will lead you to Goat Lake (where mountain goats are often visible).

12 Yoho: This park is located in southeastern British Columbia, in the Canadian Rockies.

Its name comes from the Cree word for “awe”, and that’s certainly appropriate when you see its majestic snow-capped mountains, glacial lakes, and glaciercarved valleys.

The Trans Canada Highway cuts through this park, and I used this route on my bicycle trip through the Rockies. My climb from Field through the Kicking Horse Pass was my toughest! Be sure to stop at the Spiral Tunnel Overlook. You might even get a glimpse of the Rocky Mountaineer from here!

When I wrote that, it appeared to be so. The outer “petals”, sepals, were soft green and white and very tightly closed: not a hint of red. Blake Herrington, from

of the growers/breeders in Holland to have developed the Canada 150 tulips so quickly and, coincidently, just in time to sell millions more of these beautiful flowers to Canada. A titch cynical, after the fact, but easily shown to be just not so. The Good Earth Column, Vol 10 No 37, “Celebrate Canada with Tulips, was published in September of last year. That particular topic was covered off with a discussion of how a serendipitous rebranding from Happy Generation to Canada 150 enhanced Canadian gardeners opportunities to display their horticultural patriotism- as well as enhancing the grower’s bottom line. Sigh! I was almost right. If we just look at the flower, then I’m close enough to right to invoke Spock’s maxim: a difference that makes no difference is no difference. Unfortunately, close enough isn’t close enough. (The accompanying photo, from our own garden is not a Canada 150 tulip, it is a Canada Celebration tulip.)

There are/were two different tulips, with very, very similar flowers, being marketed in conjunction with Canada’s sesquicentennial celebrations. The first is the Carnaval de Rio. This is the one officially renamed and

made the mistake of stopping when I mis-read the promo from one of the Dutch promoters. I wrote my article and moved on.

I revisited the topic after reading several current articles where opinions are expressed but little corroborative research had been done. It is clear that not all of the tulips are as advertised and I wanted to work this out. I was very busy trekking through the KAVB tulip registrations when I came across an article written by Robert Pavlis, also published last year.

I firmly believe that while one might justify spending time improving the wheel, it is a waste of time re-inventing it. IN that spirit, after reading Mr. Pavlis’ research results, I stopped looking.

And this time, I am very confident that all has been explained.

Climate change endangers health, says QHC’s Dr. Z.

BY JACK EVANS

Belleville – Apart from any other considerations, climate change is a definite threat to human health, says Dr. Dick Zoutman, chief of medical staff for Quinte Health Care.

At a recent luncheon for Belleville General Hospital Foundation, Zoutman said there are no longer any solid arguments against climate change and many impacts are already being felt, including human health hazards.

These, he said, will continue to increase as climate change progresses. Today’s generation will probably not notice much, but “our children and grandchildren will certainly be impacted,” he said. The “incredible” gains made by science for health protection

over the past 50 years are already being eroded and this will increase in direct proportion to warming climate.

Because of warmer temperatures, more of North America will be home to mosquitos carrying such deadly diseases as malaria, zika and dengue.

For the latter, dengue-carrying mosquitos have already been identified just across the Great Lakes in New York and other states. Poor people and poor nations will be the first to suffer and suffer the most, he said. But the change will create a snowball effect of human perils - safe and adequate drinking water will be affected; extreme weather conditions, cold, hot, drought and flood will get worse; loss of shoreline lands and food

resources will lead to mass migrations and probably human conflicts.

Canadians have been told for years that we have a great track record for low carbon emissions and clean air policies. In fact, he countered, “on a per capita basis, we are second to the United States and above Australia and New Zealand.”

Heavy loss of polar ice caps, already experienced, will lead to still higher levels of sea water and more warming of the oceans, which will naturally expand as heated. Loss of fish for food will be experienced as will loss of many wildlife species, birds and mammals, like polar bears. Higher temperatures will make it extremely difficult, probably impossible,

for heavy outdoor labour for needed projects. Frostbite, heat stroke, heart and lung diseases and problems will increase.

Even if disease-carrying mosquitos might not be right in Canada, they will be where many Canadians tend to go for holidays, exposing them to the disease, he added.

He urged the generous audience to get involved in a personal way, using energy conservation, alternative en-

ergy sources, like solar panels, more walking or bicycling and eating less meat. “It is better that people get that grain nutrition directly rather than feeding it to animals,” he contended. He challenged the audience as individuals to adopt three meatless days a week, suggesting Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.

“Who’s in?” he asked, to an obviously underwhelming response.

Finally, both he and Drew

Brown, CEO of the hospital foundation, plugged for continued support and generosity.

“No matter how much good news for hospitals was in the last provincial budget, the truth is, the province will not pay for equipment,” they agreed, arguing that the latest and best technology often leads to saved lives.

Hastings County’s new community and human services director has busy first meeting

BY JACK EVANS

Belleville – Introduced as Hastings County’s new director of Community and Human Services for her first meeting of the Social Services committee last week was Erin Rivers.

She has been an employee of the county for many years and filled in during the absence of former director Steve Gatward for some weeks a few years ago.

Rivers told the meeting she was “delighted” with her promotion and pledged to continue to follow the county’s policies of helping all of its residents. She added that she hopes to provide more pertinent details of activities of her department in the months ahead.

That promise was quickly called in by Belleville council representative Paul Carr, who asked for more specific details on a report of employment placements which was before committee members, to which River promptly pledged to provide in future.

Carr was asking for details about education status and training needs for employers and opportunities for workers.

The report showed a significant decline in the welfare caseload for April, from around 3,200 to around 2,900. It also specified employment connections the department pro-

cessed: 99 jobs filled with an average wage of $13.32 per hour. Of those jobs, 35 per cent were in the retail sector, 20 per cent were in manufacturing, 30 per cent were in general labour and 10 per cent were in administrative fields plus. Five per cent were in trades.

Rivers’ appointment as Gatward’s successor was actually announced at the last county council meeting in April.

Hastings County eager for new provincially funded social programs

BY JACK EVANS

Hastings County’s Community and Social Services committee last week was quick to support an application under the new provinciallyfunded Ontario Early Years Child and Family Centres program.

New department director Erin Rivers called it “exciting “ after hearing a presentation from staffer Sheleena Forfar outlining the new program.

She explained that services for children have been operating under four different provincial programs.

Only two of those have been available in Hastings County and neither one is available throughout the entire county. The new program combines all four into one 100-per cent provincially-funded program for which the application deadline has now been extended until the end of September.

Already, Forfar reported, she and her group have done extensive consultation on the needs and data required to submit an application. The new program is targeted to kick in on Jan. 1, 2018.

The funding, she said, will come through the Ministry of Education.

The goal, she explained is to “ensure that children and their parents and caregivers have access to the same suite of high-quality, core services

regardless of where they live in Hastings County.”

The proposal passed unanimously, although it drew a comment from Centre Hastings Mayor Tom Deline about how the ministry can find funds for such a new program when it has to close so many schools to the detriment of many communities.

Another program which remains to be costed, will have some budget impact, but still drew solid support to be recommended to county council.

The program is called Home for Good, and it provides subsidies for local governments to improve access to proper shelter for homeless people.

A video presentation included statements from various officials confirming the need for such, including Belleville Fire Chief Mark MacDonald , Police Chief Ron Gignac and county CAO Jim Pine, who referred to the county’s tradition of working on behalf of all of its resident and argued it was a great opportunity to solve a serious problem affecting all areas of the county. “Let’s get it done,” he said in the video.

Committee Chair, Belleville Coun.

Garnet Thompson, urged support for the project, stressing that it is an “important initiative. We don’t want homeless people on our streets,” he said.

Campbellford sports community goes to bat for kids after theft of minor softball equipment

BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford – Within hours of posting on their Facebook page that their equipment had been stolen, members of the community immediately went to bat for the Campbellford Minor Softball Association (CMSA).

Learning of the break-in and theft of team equipment the day before the season was set to start on May 15, Amy-Jo Doherty, president of the CMSA said, “this was not how I wanted to spend Mother’s Day evening.”

Putting it out there on social media she posted, “this past week in the midst of setting teams up and getting everyone on the field you as members of our sports organization have been robbed. Our equipment shed was broken into, vandalized and equipment taken. The equipment stolen was to be used by our teams and

players as they took to the field this week. Their first practice was Sunday night and the first game tonight (May 15).”

She thinks there were four bags of equipment in their lockup packed with everything from several bats to helmets, shin pads and more. Some of the teams already have their equipment, “so we’re not without anything.”

Whoever stole the equipment left the bags and each had a tag on them with the name of the team. “They left the tags behind too.”

Doherty said the response from the community was immediate.

“When I got back to work this morning the Trent Hills Soccer Club was here waiting with $1,000. They had received a grant from JumpStart,” she said.

and Treasurer Janice Mirabelli handed her the cheque on Monday.

“Our local Canadian Tire has offered to help us replace things at cost,” said Doherty, whose energy and optimism soon became evident.

“I’m trying to look at this in a positive way.

In the realm of things there’s a really good story happening here. People in this town have each other’s back,” she noted.

“We are asking for you to be on the lookout for any bats, helmets, chest protectors, shin pads and catcher helmets. If you find any of these please contact Amy-Jo Doherty. No questions will be asked,” she stated on the association’s

facebook page.

“We ask for your patience as we scramble to replace as much as we can. We would also like patrons to know that we will be monitoring the equipment shed and cameras will be in place,” she wrote.

“This act of stealing is truly heartbreaking as the ones it is affecting are our players, the youth of our community. We ask for your assistance in locating the missing equipment. Several volunteers gave up their evenings in order to ensure that players had the right equipment to play with.”

Hastings County to donate old ambulances to Loyalist College Hastings County’s regional services committee has recommended to county council that it make a gift to the Emergency Paramedic program at Loyalist College.

The gift will comprise of one old ambulance with no transmission used for parts to make an interior box for study purposes, plus a second retired ambulance past its service days for full-vehicle education.

The value of the package is $8,000, and supplements a similar gift to the college’s original course at its Bancroft campus.

The course was so successful last year it is being expanded to the main campus at Belleville.

Emergency Medical Services Chief

Warkworth

Art in the Park

Doug Socha said the course has special value both for the community and for the EMS for recruits and strongly endorsed the college’s request, which was in turn adopted by the committee as a recommendation to council at a recent meeting.

Also recommended to council was an agreement with Algonquin College to help train placement students in emergency services.

Noting that the service has reduced response times throughout its two-county territory despite a sharp increase in call numbers drew a hearty compliment from Centre Hastings Mayor Tom Deline, who has been critical of response times, specifically for his community, on several occasions.

What is immunotherapy?

Our immune system has the ability to find and destroy cancer cells. But cancer cells can sometimes hide from the immune system and avoid being destroyed. Cancer cells may also stop the immune system from working properly. Immunotherapy helps to strengthen or restore the immune system’s ability to fight cancer.

How immunotherapy works The immune system defends and protects our bodies from infection and disease. It’s made up of organs, special cells and substances that work together to find and fight germs such as viruses or bacteria or abnormal or unhealthy cells that cause disease such as cancer.

Germs and cancer cells have molecules on their surface that trigger the immune system to find and destroy them. But some cancer cells can hide from the immune system because they look a lot like normal cells. In some cases, the immune system may find cancer cells, but it isn’t strong enough to destroy all of them. And some cancer cells can even change how the immune system responds so it doesn’t work properly.

The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) funds a number of researchers who study immunotherapy. For example:

Dr Réjean Lapointe from the Centre de recherche du CHUM in Quebec is developing a gel to improve immunotherapy. Dr Lapointe and his team developed a gel to target and release cancer-fighting immune cells at just Immunotherapy boosts the immune system or the right spot. Further developments could helps the immune system to find cancer and attack greatly benefit people with cancer. it. Immunotherapy is used to: Dr John Bell from the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute is studying how cancer-killing viruses • stop or slow the growth of cancer • stop cancer from spreading to other parts of the attack tumour blood vessels. With his team, Dr Bell showed that a tumour’s overproduction of body • help the immune system work better to destroy a certain protein can allow oncolytic viruses to infect and destroy the tumour’s blood cells. The cancer cells • deliver toxins,such as radiation or chemotherapy, levels of this protein may help predict which patients will respond better to therapy with directly to cancer cells oncolytic viruses.
