Yes! Gold! St. Theresa’s Bailey Maracle clears 1.94 metres to win OFSAA gold in junior boys high jump. BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – It’s a Maracle! A local athlete won gold at the Belleville-hosted Ontario Federation of Schools Athletics Association track and filed championships. St. Theresa Catholic Secondary School’s Bailey Maracle bested all other competitors in the junior boys high jump, held under a brilliant late Saturday afternoon sun at the Bruce

Faulds track at MA Sills Park. Maracle won silver in the midget boys high jump at OFSAA in Windsor last year. At the time, the medal marked the first ever medal for a St. T athlete in a mainstream OFSAA track event. This year he did even better, clearing a personal best 1.94 metres – a height that two other competitors tried but couldn’t clear – to earn gold. After that, Maracle took two tries to

Stephen Petrick/Metroland

break 1.97 metres, but failed to clear the bar. Maracle, a humble Grade 10 student from Deseronto, said he was a little disappointed he wasn’t able to reach 2.0 metres. Still, he savoured the opportunity to win gold at an event in his home region. “That’s probably the best part of it,” he said. “I have family watching.” Maracle said his goal heading into the competition was to get on the

podium and he knew winning gold would be difficult, as he entered as the second seed. His closest competitor, Kenny Ngassoue of Bill Crothers Secondary School, narrowly missed clearing the bar at 1.94 metres each time. The crowd gasped in disbelief twice when Ngassoue was ever so close to clearing 1.94, but saw the bar fall, See ‘Maracle’ Page 2

likely only as a result of a light touch from his feet. Yet Maracle, up until he had his event won, cleared every mark successfully and did so calmly. While high jump athletes often take their time and stretch their backs before running to the bar, Maracle wastes little time and runs confidently right to the mat. It’s a strategy that worked, he explained later. “I didn’t want to think about it too much, I didn’t want to get nervous,” he said. After the victory, he shook hands calmly with fellow athletes and coaches. “It was insane,” he said of the highcalibre field of athletes. “That’s the best part of OFSAA.” St. Theresa track coach Monica Murray watched the event with pride. She said his cool and casual demeanour he shows on the track is reflective of his personality. “Bailey’s quite the kid,” she said. “He’s so naturally talented. I don’t know if he knows (the significance) of what he just accomplished.” “He doesn’t let the pressure get to him and that works to advantage.”

Continued from Page 1

Murray said seeing Bailey win gold was a huge thrill for the St. T. track team. The team is also coached by Dave McGillen, Kristen Gibbons and high jump specialist Paul Koughan. While Bailey has now won OFSAA track medals in consecutive years, he said he’s not sure how long he’ll continue with high jump. “We’ll see how hockey goes,” he said, explaining that he hopes to play hockey at the provincial junior level soon. Nicholson’s Nate St. Romain also hit the medal podium on the third and final day of OFSAA track. St. Romain won silver in the senior boys 400-metres hurdles. He posted a time of 54.19 seconds, a fraction of a second slower than gold-medal winner Austin White of SMCHS-Kemptville. One other Bay of Quinte Athletics athlete won a medal at the prestigious event. East Northumberland’s Sam Hall won silver in the senior boys high jump on Friday, with a leap of 1.95 metres. Sarnia Northern’s Sebastian Smith won the event by clearing 2.05 metres. More OFSAA coverage is in the Connected section.

OPINION

An old American tradition It’s not just Donald Trump. The United States has a long record of negotiating international agreements and then running away from them. The rest the world has Gwynne Dyer of an equally long record of heaving a sigh of regret, telling the Americans it will be happy to have them back when they get over it, and carrying on without them. It will do it again over the Paris accord on climate change. We have had many expressions of synthetic shock since Trump finally announced that he was abandoning the climate accord last Thursday, after wringing every last drop of drama out of his totally predictable decision. Then we had the equally predictable affirmations from everybody else that they would carry on regardless. It’s all as stylized and traditional as a Noh play. The tradition actually dates back to the early 20th century, when the United States was the prime mover in creating a new international institution to prevent war, the League of Nations, at the end of the First World War – and then refused to join it. The League could probably not have avoided the Second World War even if the US had been a member, but its absence certainly didn’t help. Then came a longish period, from the foundation of the United Nations in 1945 to the arms control agreements of the 1960s and 70s, when American leadership actually did make the world a safer place. But, by 30 years ago, it was back to the bad old ways, with the United States not signing (or signing and then “unsigning”) the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, the International Criminal Court, and the Kyoto Accord on Climate Change. In each case, the rest of the world just went ahead and put the treaty into effect anyway – and in no case did the American defection destroy the deal. It’s already clear that Trump’s decision will not sabotage this deal either. The other major powers will all stick with the commitments they made in Paris 18 months ago, because they are all really frightened by what will happen if they don’t.

“As far as the Paris accord is concerned... our government is committed, irrespective of the stand of anyone, anywhere in the world,” said Japan’s Finance Minister, Taro Aso. “I’m not just disappointed, but also feel anger.” And China’s President Xi Jinping modestly explained that his country has only become the world’s leader on climate change by default. “It’s because the original front-runners suddenly fell back and pushed China to the front.” The absence of the US government will not derail the project. The commitments of American states, cities, organizations and individuals on reducing US greenhouse gas emissions will continue to provide at least half of the cuts promised by ex-president Barack Obama. Since those promised cuts were to be spread over ten years, the damage may be even less if Trump turns out to be a one-term president. The commitments made at Paris in 2015 were voluntary national promises. There were no negotiations about how big the contributions of various countries should actually be: Trump only talks about “renegotiating” the deal because he never actually read it. The sad fact is that all the cuts promised by all the countries at the Paris conference were not enough to keep global warming from going past the never-exceed level of plus 2 degrees C. When the United Nations added the numbers up, the world was still heading for plus 2.7 degrees. Take all the promised American cuts out of the equation and the world will be heading for around plus 3.0 degrees instead, but it doesn’t make a huge difference. Either way, we cross the threshold and tumble into runaway, irreversible warming. However, the world still has 20 years or so before we pass through plus 2 degrees. Everybody at the Paris talks understood that they would have to hold another conference in around five years’ time and come up with bigger cuts then. It’s salami tactics, which is bad science but good politics, and it could still deliver the goods. By five years from now, Trump may no longer be a problem. Even if he’s not impeached or dead, he might lose the 2020 election. He might even choose not to run again; he’s already complaining about how hard the job is.

MA Sills Park, volunteers shine at OFSAA Editorial by Chris Malette It’s almost embarrassing, the riches we now have in this city, in terms of world-class recreation facilities and Mary Anne Sills Park is the jewel in the crown when it comes to track and field facilities. As more than 2,200 athletes, coaches and officials from across Ontario travelled to Belleville to the MAS Park complex for the three-day OFSAA event, local volunteers, contractors and city parks staffers were still working furiously to get the place prepared for Canada’s largest annual high-school sporting event. Tim Larry, the director of operations for the massive meet, which took place Thursday, June 1 to Saturday, June 3 had nothing but praise for the facility, the city, the volunteers and the event itself. It seemed anyone involved ran out of superlatives for the meet, which was projected to have an economic spinoff of more than $1 million. It is, quite simply and most impressively, the third largest gathering of high school student athletes in North America when OFSAA gets underway each spring. Larry said he was thrilled with the City of Belleville’s efforts to improve the west-end park in time for the event. Bleachers were rented and placed along the Bruce Faulds track to accommodate spectators, but the park also received permanent upgrades in the days leading up to the event, including a paved parking lot, new trails, a new storage facility and Wifi infrastructure. “We were really pleased. We think things went better than anticipated,” he said. “The City of Belleville did a great job getting the facility ready. All the credit in the world goes to the city. “What we wanted to do and what every OFSAA organizer wants to do is bring (the meet) to another level, to make the OFSAA experience an event that every athlete will remember for their lifetime,” he said. He explained the goal was to provide “nothing less than a professional” experience. One needed only experience the crazed cheering and excitement of the 100 metre finals Saturday, or to witness the crowd clapping on as boys in the senior high jump finals, Friday, made their attempts. Everywhere a visitor turned, there was a palpable buzz about the scope, the breadth and the sheer efficiency of the event. One report said parks manager Larry Glover shared that OFSAA officials had told him the level of co-operation coming from the city was unprecedented in the recent history of the massive event. “One of the OFSAA staffers came up to me on Wednesday night and said the level of co-operation they’ve received from the city has been unprec-

edented,” said Glover. “This is a big thing for Belleville.” Glover said a $90,000 grant from the Parrott Foundation came in handy for some of the OFSAA upgrades, including much-needed storage facilities for track equipment. “We constructed the buildings out of used containers,” he said. “And some of the track equipment, like hurdles, are pretty-high end. American university quality.” Belleville recreation director Mark Fluhrer said most of the upgrades were already budgeted into the overall complex plan and augmented one of the premier sports facilities in Ontario. Our local athletes acquitted themselves in spectacular fashion, too. Of course, our golden boy, St. Theresa Catholic Secondary School’s Bailey Maracle, bested all other competitors in the junior boys high jump with a leap of 1.94 metres – a hair short of the sliver medal winning jump for the seniors. Earning silver medals were Nicholson’s Nate St. Romain in the senior boys 400m hurdles (a personal-best 54.19 seconds) and Sam Hall of ENSS in the senior boys high jump (1.95 m). Just missing a place on the podium was Quinte’s Robert Leybourne, fourth in the boys 800m ID event (2:25.73). One question, however. Why was disgraced Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson allowed at the event Friday? He was seen at the track being introduced to the odd athlete by various coaches. But, the man who is notorious for bringing national shame for the 1988 doping scandal at the Seoul Olympics is in no way an athlete to be emulated by any of the hundreds of kids competing at this event. But, in all, Glover’s words are the most apt summation of the three-day festival of student athletic endeavour on one of the most impressive stages in Ontario – Belleville MA Sills Park. This is, indeed, a “big thing for Belleville.” From its humble beginnings, when members of the Canadian Legion Branch 99 realized it had to spend tens of thousands of dollars in its bingo bank account and, leaning on the Legion’s long-standing support for track and field across Canada, the roots of that complex were sunk more than two decades ago by a small planning committee. With the driving force and support of then parks and recreation director Doug Moses, the park took shape. Today, it and the legion of volunteers who came forward to make the OFSAA spectacle happen, put Belleville front and centre on the provincial stage when it comes to top-drawer facilities for sport and recreation. Again.

Real estate agent hopes to oust Belleville mayor for seven years BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – A local real estate agent who has filed formal conflict of interest charges against Mayor Taso Christopher hopes to see the mayor ousted from office, court records obtained by the Belleville News show. Gary Davidson, of Royal Lepage, made the application to an Ontario Superior Court of Justice. The application will come to hearing on Thursday, June 30 at 10 a.m. at Kingston’s Court Street courthouse. When contacted by Belleville News, Davidson declined to speak at length about the application, saying he’ll say more after the hearing. However, when pressed, he said he’s convinced the mayor broke the law, during a special budget session on October 26, 2016. “As far as I’m concerned, no matter who you are, you should have to follow the rules,” Davidson said. In the court document Davidson says Christopher is “a shareholder, director or officer of (numbered corporation) 1576275” which owns property at 427 Farnham Rd. Land connected to that property

came up at an October 25 special budget session, as the city was considering expropriating it for the construction or a roundabout. The application claims that Christopher declared a conflict of interest and removed himself from discussion on that property on the first day of the budget session. But, the next day, on Oct. 26, Davidson argues, Christopher did not declare a conflict of interest when discussing the project, participated in a debate and ultimately voted to approve the project. “Prior to the vote on Oct. 26, 2016, the Respondent (Christopher) participated in discussions related to the Project and attempted to influence the ultimate vote in respect of the Project, despite having stated his pecuniary interest in the Project on several occasions,” the court document says. The application also says “the Project has the potential to increase the value of the Property and construction of the traffic circle component of the Project requires that the City of Belleville purchase or expropriate a portion of the Property from 1576275.”

News reports from the time show that the vote passed by a 7-2 margin, with Councillors Mitch Panciuk and Kelly McCaw the dissenters. The roundabout is part of a Build Belleville infrastructure project to improve the Mineral Road/Maitland Drive area, two busy roads in a commercial and industrial area, north of Hwy. 401. Davidson’s application asks the courts to declare the mayor’s seat vacant and “disqualify Christopher from office for seven years from the time his seat is vacated.” It also asks that he return any personal financial gain as a result of a contravention to the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act. Messages to Mayor Taso Christopher’s City Hall office went unreturned. In an interesting twist, the mayor’s brother, Ike Christopher, who coowns the numbered corporation at the centre of the case, said his family no longer owns the land needed for the roundabout. He said the land was recently sold to another numbered corporation. Ike Christopher said he was once involved

of expropriation, Ike said. The land is a vacant spot on the northeast corner of Farnham Road and Maitland Drive and once had a home on it, but it was torn down several years ago. Ike Christopher said he has no idea if the recent sale of land will impact the June 30 court hearing.

Humble work of Belleville Police Sergeant Grant Boulay merits attention BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – After a quarter century of working in forensics, Belleville Police Sgt. Grant Boulay has done just about everything, except to boast about his accomplishments. The veteran of the force was clearly humbled during a touching ceremony held for him in Chief Ron Gignac’s office at the station, on Thursday June 1. Gignac had invited police leaders, media and friends and family of Boulay to recognize his recent receiving of the Order of Merit of Police Forces in a ceremony in Ottawa led by Governor General David Johnston. Boulay has had a distinguished career in policing, starting as a Belleville city police officer in 1983. He later transferred to the forensic units in 1991, and has since become a leading expert in the field. He has shared his knowledge of forensics at institutions around the world and has helped crack numerous high-profile homicide cases, including ones related to B.C. serial killer Robert Pickton and the former CFB Trenton base commander Russell Williams. Gignac called Boulay a “silent warrior who’s put Belleville and the Belleville Police Force on the map internationally.” But, when it came time for Boulay to say a few words, he declined to elaborate on any of those accomplisments. “You summed it up perfectly,” he said. “What else can I say?” Speaking with reporters later, Boulay said he’s always been focused on doing his job and

has never sought the limelight, despite the fact his work halped crack some of the most important criminal cases in Canada. He said conducting forensic work is “just one piece of the pie” in any big investigation. But, clearly Boulay’s skillset has served the community well. He has a particular expertise in identifying tire tracks and footwear imprints at crime scenes. During the Williams investigation in 2010, it was police finding matching tire tracks in snow at one of the victim’s homes that led investigators to the killer. Boulay would only admit that he was “a component of that investigation,” but stressed he was just one of several officers on the case. While Boulay is the consummate team player, emphasizing the accomplishments of the entire police team in cracking big cases, Gignac had no problem telling the room what a privilege it is to have the veteran on the force. Gignac said Boulay could have easily become the police chief, had he chosen to pursue that career avenue and that he’s turned down higher paying jobs elsewhere to stay in the Belleville community. He teaches forensics frequently at the Ontario University Institute of Technology and has also given lectures on the topic all over the United States. He once even travelled to a university in Beijing, China, to share his knowledge. He said travelling around the world to teach forensics is interesting work, because police, everywhere, can benefit from sharing knowledge. Sgt. Grant Boulay, backed by friends and family, cuts a cake during an event held in his hon“We all do the same thing, the same way,” our at the Belleville Police station on June 1.

B.C. company eying Hotel Quinte site Belleville – A Vancouver company says it is very close to acquiring the vacant Hotel Quinte property at Pinnacle and Bridge streets in Belleville. FairTradeWorks founder, Jim Perkins, says in a statement issued Monday that “it was an easy decision to put an offer in on Belleville’s landmark Pinnacle Street property where the Quinte Hotel used to stand.” The Vancouver based company has been expanding its development operations in Ontario for a few years now but has never ventured into the Belleville market prior to this property hitting the market, said the statement. FairTradeWorks has a large presence in Marmora, where it currently has a $2 million dollar, 10-unit senior’s living complex underway in the village downtown. The company has purchased

four other properties in Marmora, which it describes will be “65-plus rentals and retail space.” Perkins said that his company’s Ontario realtor reported to the company “that the (Hotel Quinte) property met all of the company’s requirements for development opportunities including an excellent location.” Perkins, in the release, said that “While the deal has not officially closed, it has firmed up. By June 23, we should have all of our due diligence completed and will be able to announce our plans for the site at that time.” The Hotel Quinte property is owned by a numbered corporation of investors from Toronto. It burned to the ground in a spectacular overnight blaze in 2012. The cause of the fire has never been determined and the hotel was vacant at the time of the blaze.

It’s Time. When you’re always worried about how mom’s doing. Let Seasons help.

Manslaughter charge added in case of 2016 road death of city man Belleville – Belleville police and the local Crown’s office have upped the ante in a case involving a Belleville man killed in 2016 when he was reportedly struck by a car in the city’s west end. Aaron Rushlow, 24, was found unresponsive in the middle of the street on Walmsley Place in October, 2016, and was rushed to Kingston General Hospital with serious injuries. He later died of those injuries and Belleville police some weeks later charged Shelby Zielski-Thibault, then 18, with criminal negligence causing death,

dangerous driving causing death and leaving the scene of an accident. She has subsequently been charged with manslaughter in the case. A pre-trial hearing was expected to begin June 5. Zielski-Thibault is also before the court on other unrelated charges involving dangerous driving and assaulting a police officer. The latter charge relates to an incident at an east-end Belleville school in which police allege Zielski-Thibault and a minor drove in a dangerous manner near the school, later being arrested some blocks away.

Residents of flooded areas getting frustrated

Park Dale students ride bikes to school with Taso Christopher for Mayor’s Ride Students (left) Jacob McMuldroch, Zayden Mayer and Triston Slaunwhite participated in the Mayor’s Ride, as did (far left) Joey West and Tyson KimatraThynne.

Belleville – Mayor Taso Christopher went back to school on Monday morning – Park Dale Public School to participate in the Mayor’s Ride. Christopher biked to the west-end school from a parkette off Frinch Drvie, with about 20 students, plus some school staff and parents. They entered the school through a back pathway off Auburn Street and, after the morning bell rang, held an outdoor assembly to celebrate the Stephen Petrick/ event. Metroland The annual Mayor’s Ride allows the city to showcase new cycling infrastructure and promote healthy lifestyles. People from the Park Dale school community were the perfect ones to host the event with, since the school is one of just 174 schools across the province to be named a Healthy Active School by the Ontario Physical Health Education Association. The school recently received a certificate from OPHEA, which honours its efforts, which are led by a Healthy Active Schools Club. Principal Derek Delarge said the Mayor’s Ride represented a “oncein-a-lifetime opportunity” for his students. He said the school community is focused on “well being” and “we want all of our students and staff, to eat better, sleep better and move more.” Christopher spoke on behalf of his city council, which has worked in recent years to improve cycling infrastructure in the city. “When we see beautiful young minds … using the trails, it really means a lot to us,” he said. The city recently added bike lanes to Yeomans Street in the west end and North Park Street in the north. Work will begin soon to add bike lanes to Adam Street and Bridge Street East. The Mayor’s Ride is supported by the city’s green task force and the Belleville Police Force. Sgt. Rene Aubertin was on hand and he said “I was happy to see everyone riding was wearing a helmet.” The event was also supported by the group Belleville On Bikes, which is marking June as Bike Month.

Belleville – Carp continue to swim at the side of Garth Fowles’s South Church Street house. But it’s what appears in the street in front that is more scary than strange. “We have dead fish here and dead birds in the water,” he said, from his driveway on Wednesday, May 31, where a line of sandbags hadn’t kept flood water from approaching his house. Residents of the area have been dealing with flooding for about a month, ever since a week’s worth of heavy rain in early May combined with record snow melt in the upper river systems feeding the Bay of Quinte and the city’s storm water system, forced water to spew on some south-end city streets. As the water rises, so too does the frustration of residents in the area. “The scary thing is, they’re saying it won’t be until the end of June when the bay breaches. My real question is ‘What are the city’s plans?’” Fowles, a retired executive with Waste Management, moved into his house close to Meyers Pier harbour soon after the home’s construction in 2013. Houses on the other side of the street, he said, were built around 2010. It’s a nice neighbourhood of new, attached townhouses and many residents of the street are elderly or retirees. Fowles said he’s concerned with the lack of communication by the city staff. While he realizes, they’re busy and there’s no simple solution to the flooding, he said he’s seen few city employees appear in the area and make plans to help the residents. One resident, he said, is an elderly man in a wheelchair, and it’s not easy for him to access his vehicle, which lately has been parked a half block away, where the street is high and dry. “There’s very little communication,” Fowles said. “They’re not down here saying, ‘What can we do to help.’ … Come down, show your faces. Tell us what you’re doing.” He said residents of the area took it upon themselves to remove dead fish and dead birds from the street. They placed them in a bucket on the corner and called Quinte Conservation, whose staff removed them. Two other residents on the flooded area of South Church Street declined to be interviewed and did not give names. But they too expressed bewilderment that the flooded area has 10 Belleville News - Thursday, June 8, 2017

not significantly receded over several weeks. They expressed worry that the water poses a health risk, considering the debris in it. Fowles and the two other residents, however, said that the flooding hasn’t caused an issue to the insides of the houses. Houses on the south end of South Church Street do not have basements and electricity is still working. But the situation remains concerning, considering the floodwater is only a few feet from one large electrical box on one home’s front lawn. An Electrical Safety Authority employee was working in the neighbourhood Wednesday, May 31, speaking to residents to ensure they’re homes still

had power. A Municipal Property Assessment Corporation vehicle was also parked on South Church Street that morning. Belleville’s communications co-ordinator Marilyn Warren said the city is doing its best to communicate with residents of the area. She said city staff, on at least two occasions – once where Mayor Taso Christopher joined them – travelled through the area, knocking on doors to ensure people were okay. In cases where no one was home, written messages were left, she said. Quinte Conservation and member’s of Belleville’s emergency response team have repeatedly encouraged residents to be patient during the flooding situation,

Law Enforcement Torch Run raises funds for Special Olympics BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – It seems nothing can take the smiles off the faces of Special Olympians when they get an opportunity to mingle with police officers – especially not rain. A small group of local Special Olympians ran with Belleville police officers from the Quinte Mall to Belleville City Hall in a steady drizzle on a recent May morning. The run was part of the annual Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics, a traditional that dates back to the 1980s. The local initiative is now headed by Belleville Police Det. Const. Darrell Hatfield, who ran with the group of athletes, each beaming with pride

as they wore blue Torch Run T-shirts. Hatfield said he first got involved in Special Olympics programs, when, as a student at police college, he had the opportunity to attend a Summer Games event in London, about eight years ago. Since then, he’s been hooked. “It’s amazing,” he said, of the whole atmosphere. “I try to explain this to people; that going to events and seeing the appreciation and the support we receive … That’s the payoff. It’s transformative.” About 15 athletes and a small group of officers participated in the run. They carried buckets along the way for donors to drop money in. Also later in the day, police officers served customers at the Lone Star

Grill, to raise tip money for Special Olympians. That event is known as the Cops and Cowboys. Hatfield said the events were about raising awareness of Special Olympics programs, as much as they were about raising money. Local athletes are getting ready for a provincial meet in June in the Peel region. National Special Olympics events take place periodically.

Library Line: June features at the Parrott Gallery include East Central Ontario Art Association juried show BY SUSAN HOLLAND

The fresh and bright days of spring are the perfect time to visit the Parrott Gallery on the third floor of Belleville Public Library to discover the talented artists in our exhibitions, displays and in the Parrott Gallery Shop. We are thrilled that the East Central Ontario Art Association has chosen us for the location for their annual juried show from June 8 to July 13.

Formed in 1960, the talented members of this group are from a large geographic area and the show travels each year to a different destination. Mainly plein air landscapes in various media will be shown as these artists regularly travel about to paint outdoors. Please join them at the opening reception on Thursday June 8 from 6 – 7:30 p.m. “Celebrating Success” is a display of work by members of our community who have suffered debilitating

brain injuries and have found that making art has helped in their recovery. Through the Brain Injury Association, Providence Care and Pathways to Independence, we have had the honour of presenting these works in the Corridor Gallery for a number of years now. What’s different for this show is that they have grown so much that they will be exhibiting in one of the galleries this year. Please join us to meet the artists and enjoy their

Bayside families blindsided, frustrated in French immersion wait list BY ERIN STEWART

Bayside – With a total of 60 students accepted for the Grade 4 French immersion program at Bayside Public School in September, parents of students on the wait list say the unfair process has left them frustrated and disappointed. The program has been condensed from three Grade 4 French immersion classes in the 2016-2017 school year to two classes starting in September 2017. Kelly Carrigan and her family moved to Belleville from the east coast just before March break and enrolled their 9-year-old daughter in Grade 3 at Bayside Public School, with the expectation she would go into the French immersion program when it began in Grade 4. “We’ve already uprooted her from New Brunswick, where she spent all of her life, she’s had to leave her friends and a very tight knit community and we wanted to minimize as much stress and anxiety on her with the move,” she said. Carrigan said she did a lot of research into what school would be best for her daughter and she had no idea there was a deadline to apply for the French immersion program. “It’s a very stressful time, it’s very unfair and I want to know how they are accommodating people like us who are moving to the area. So you’re saying that people who move to the area have no option for French immersion at Bayside? That’s what it sounds like,” she said. The Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board (HPEDSB) is not taking families moving to the area into consideration, she said. “They’re not accounting for people who move, they’re not accounting for kids that already go to the school as a priority, so it doesn’t make sense,” said Carrigan. “My daughter doesn’t want to move again, it’s tough being the new kid, for anyone who has moved as a child they know it’s not easy.” Given the situation and given that the school board did not clearly set the expectation at the beginning, Carrigan said the board should definitely

Kelly Carrigan enrolled her daughter in Bayside Public School, with the expectation she would go into the French immersion program when it began in Grade 4. Erin Stewart/Metroland have a third Grade 4 French immersion class to account for the wait list. “You have to set the precedent, that’s what gets people upset is that the expectation was not clearly communicated,” she said. “If you want to gain people’s respect and people’s trust you have to follow through or if you’re going to change things you have to let people know.” One father, who wished to remain anonymous, said his child has been at Bayside Public since kindergarten and is now Grade 3. There has always been the expectation they would go into Bayside’s French immersion program in Grade 4, he said, like his older child did years before. “It wasn’t communicated that there was a cap on the number of students or a due date for when an application had to be submitted, or even that there was even an application process,” he said. “I knew there would be some type of request but it wasn’t communicated that there was an application with a due date.” The father said he was aware of a parent night that wasn’t mandatory. He said he didn’t think he needed to

go because he knew the information about the program since he already had a child who went through it. “Now we’re on a waiting list, although we have two choices to go into the heart of Belleville or into the heart of Trenton, which messes with our whole routine we established and we liked Bayside,” he said. He did talk to the school board about it his concerns, he said, and they said they did radio ads and other advertising that he wasn’t aware of. “It wasn’t like they were saying there was a cut off and due date, had I know then I would have got the application in on time, that’s the disappointing thing,” he said. “I’m certainly disappointed, frustrated, annoyed, but also blindsided, it’s just been a surprise.” Like Carrigan, he said a third classroom for Grade 4 French immersion should be added and taxpayers expect a fair process. “It wasn’t a fair process, so it would be great if they kind of acknowledged that to some degree and open it up this year, next year fine, go with the cap, but make it known that we have a cap,” he said. In a recent interview, Kerry Don-

nell, communications officer for the HPEDSB, responded to the concerns and said French immersion public information sessions were held and the deadline, February 24, was stressed through the board’s website, social media and newsletters. “All registrations that were received by the due date from students who live within the French immersion catchment area for Bayside Public School, those students received confirmation,” she said. “Based on the number of registrations coming in, there are enough students for two classes, not enough for three classes, so there is a waiting list.” Donnell said she did not know the number of students on the wait list. The deadline is a key date, she said, because staffing decisions for teachers were made shortly after. Another issue is space, she said. “We just don’t have any room to expand for more classes, even if we Harold Fledderus could,” she said. C.A.I.B. “I feel so badly for families who thought they may get in and now they haven’t. The challenge becomes putting a program Hoornweg in place but then JessicaR.I.B. we can’t keep hosting it where there isn’t room to go and for September 2017 there’s not enough space at Bayside public or the secondary Rebecca Veenstra R.I.B. school to host an additional French immersion class,” said Donnell.

For parents looking to register their children in French immersion, Donnell said Bayside Grade 4 isn’t an option unless students drop out of the program. The only option now is to register students at another school offering French immersion, the closest being Harry J. Clarke Public School in Belleville or Prince Charles Public School in Trenton, said Donnell. “What I would recommend is that parents that are on the waiting list, if they wanted to look at registering their children at another school, Trenton or Harry J. Clarke, if they’re able to take their children to school that way, if they get them registered they’re in French immersion and at least they know they’re in the program come September,” she said.

Animal-loving community ‘Struts for Strays’ at Zwick’s Island Park BY ERIN STEWART

Belleville – People and their fourlegged friends flocked to Zwick’s park to partake in the 12th annual Strut for Strays event on Saturday June 3. The annual walkathon and pet festival is in support of Fixed Fur Life, the charitable organization that raises money year round to spay, neuter and find homes for stray cats and dogs in Quinte West. Darlene Quincy, president of Fixed Fur Life, said she was hoping the event would raise more than last year’s $50,000 total. “Fingers crossed, it’s looking good,” she said, “Our top pledge collector came in, she raised $7,300.” To date, Fixed Fur Life has spayed and neutered 20,680 cats and dogs and Quincy said the Strut for Strays event can help fix and spay an additional 2,000 cats and dogs throughout

the year. “It’s very important that we get this much support, I find it humbling to see so many people out supporting what we’re doing,” she said. “We are busier this year than we were last year, every year we get a little bit bigger so I’m very, very happy with the turnout, it’s just been consistent since eight o’clock this morning actually, we didn’t even open until 9 a.m.” Hanna St. John said she’s been attending Strut for Strays since she was eight and she loves it. “I love it, I love Strut for Strays and what it does, it’s awful how many animals get euthanized each year because they can’t find a home in time and they’re not fixed,” she said. St. John said the events at Struts for Strays are always great and she signed her pooch up for the ice cream eating contest. “They’re fantastic, I love all the

venues and the activities they have and everything, it gives a sense of community to everyone because it just shows that there are other people out there that love pets and would love for other people to have a family pet as well,” she said. “He definitely loved the ice cream,” said St. John, speaking for her dog Vincent. “He powered through the brain freeze there.” Karly Mitchell came from Kingston to enjoy the day with her dog Ellie. “We came down just to have a fun day and we found the pool, Ellie really likes to jump so we thought we’d give it a go,” said Mitchell, referring to the dock jumping interactive setup by Canine WaterSports Canada. “This is our first time at this event but we will be coming back next year, it’s been a lot of fun,” she said.

Flooded Belleville streets get elevated with gravel, but residents’ frustration remains BY STEPHEN PETRICK

pecializing

Belleville – Wyatt Clark was confident when he put his 55 South Church St. home up for sale this spring. He had hoped homebuyers would enter a bidding war for the charming Foster Ward house. But, when the street began flooding in early May, the offers slowed and now he expects the house – if it sells anytime soon – will go for at least $20,000 under the original asking price. “People have said, ‘Hey, you can say the place is waterfront now,” he joked, on Monday, June 5, as city crews began dumping gravel onto the street to soak up the flood Wyatt Clark water and make the southern block of the street drivable pictured at his again. house.

month due to the flood water. However, most homes in the area do not have basements and don’t appear to be structurally damaged. The fact that crews were working on the street was a little relieving for Clark, but he questioned if the gravel is really a long-term solution. He suspects it won’t solve the greater infrastructure issues, which have led to the flooding in the low-lying neighbourhood, near Myers Pier and the Bay of Quinte water. “What happens now?” he asked. “I don’t know if anyone knows what the future holds.” A city statement issued Friday, June 2 said the city “I don’t know if decided to add gravel to several flooded streets after anyone knows testing the concept on South what the future Front Street and seeing positive results. Crews began lay- holds.” ing gravel on South Church SOUTH CHURCH STREET RESIDENT Street, South John Street and WYATT CLARK South George Street Monday. “This gravel elevation will provide driveway access to the residents. The modifications are to improve access for local residents only and will remain in place until the flood waters recede and the roadways can be re-opened,” the statement said. It also quoted Mayor Taso Christopher, who acknowledged that residents in the area are getting frustrated. “We understand the frustration of the residents living in this area and appreciate their patience,” he said. “The city is working diligently to determine the best ways to improve roadway conditions during these flood water challenges.” Clark said the past month has been frustrating. He, like other residents of the area, have seen dead fish, in the area. Clark said he even had to remove a dead goose from an area near his home. He and his wife purchased a new home before the flooding, assuming they could finance it once their South Church Street property sold. Although the “for sale” remains up, Clark acknowledged it might take time to find a willing buyer. But at least his new home should be safer, if he can get there soon. “It’s on a hill,” near Tamworth, he said.


Yachties steaming over shuttering of club, Victoria Park BY CHRIS MALETTE

Belleville – Members of the Bay of Quinte Yacht Club are straining at the lanyard to get back in their digs. But, water has risen almost to the door of the building on its east side, the docks are floating at chin-high levels in places and the city has blocked off access to the entire island park at Victoria Harbour. “This is a bad, bad scene,” said BYC house director Bob Owen. “I have never seen anything like this in the last quarter century.” He said club members fret every day about how long the club will remain closed, inaccessible to either boats or cars – although he checks on it daily for insurance purposes – and when hydro to the clubhouse can be restored. “This is just devastating,” he said of the number of hall rentals, meetings and programs that have been or may be yet cancelled. “We have our junior sailing programs coming up, with international instructors lined up and international students coming in, as well as those from this area. None of that can happen.” City director of recreation, culture and community services Mark Fluhrer said he feels “deeply for the people of that club. We’re doing everything we can for them, including moving all their boats over to Meyers Pier and in constant contact to inspect the park, see how we can get them back in to the clubhouse as soon as we can. But, that all hinges on the weather.” He said the city had hoped there might be steps to begin re-opening the park “this week, if the rain held off, but the first of the week, weather wise, has not been helping there.” Fluhrer said while the city is working “closely with the commodore and the BYC executive,” the first priority of the city’s emergency management group “is to make priority one the individuals who are living in homes that are affected by the flooding, followed by businesses who may be affected and those are our priorities…” That said, he underscored the seriousness of proceeding slowly with re-entering he park and the yacht club grounds. “Some of their members want to get back in there, now,” said Fluhrer. “They say there are bare patches of grass here and there… and they want to get in. But, it’s much more serious than that. We have to ensure there is safety in terms of electrical connections, the alarms in the building and such.”

Belleville Yacht Club (pictured below) is closed, the boats are not at their docks and the hydro has been disconnected within the clubhouse. Oh, and Victoria Park itself is barricaded to traffic. Chris Malette/Metroland He said Veridian is working with the emergency management group in all aspects of the current flooding situation. “I’d love to give them good news and take down those barricades today,” said Fluhrer. “But, we must proceed with caution. This is an unprecedented situation.”

Area athletes, volunteers shine at OFSAA track & field BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – The Belleville community put in a gold medal-like performance hosting the Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic Association track and field championships. That’s the message from Tim Larry, the director of operations for the massive meat, which took place Thursday, June 1 to Saturday, June 3 at MaryAnne Sills Park. About 2,300 athletes from 560 schools competed at the event, which was projected to have an economic spinoff of more than $1 million. Larry said he was thrilled with the City of Belleville’s efforts to improve the west-end park in time for the event. Bleachers were placed along the Bruce Faulds track to accommodate spectators, but the park also received permanent upgrades in the days leading up to the event, including a paved parking lot, new trails, a new storage facility and Wifi infrastructure. “We were really pleased. We think things went better than anticipated,” he said. “The City of Belleville did a great job getting the facility ready. All the credit in the world goes to the city.” And the athletic performances were awe-inspiring – but that’s to be expected of an OFSAA track and field championships, where most athletes have to post great results at two or three qualifying meets to enter. On Friday, Strathroy’s Mikenna Vanderheyden set a new OFSAA and Canadian interscholastic record in the women 1,500-metre open steeplechase event, with a time of 4 minutes, 46.54 seconds. And Khamal Stewart-Baynes of Toronto’s Father Henry Carr was also a show-stopper, as he won the marquee

100-metres, 200-metres and 400-metres dash events at senior boys level. Three Bay of Quinte-area athletes hit the podium. St. Theresa’s Bailey Maracle won gold in junior boys long jump, Nicholson’s Nate St. Romain won silver in the senior boys 400-metre hurdles and East Northumberland’s Sam Hall won silver in the senior boys high jump. Larry said it appeared that all athletes had a great experience at the meet. “What we wanted to do and what

every OFSAA organizer wants to do is bring (the meet) to another level, to make the OFSAA experience an event that every athlete will remember for their lifetime,” he said. He explained the goal was to provide “nothing less than a professional” experience. To quality for OFSAA track and field, an athlete has to be at an extraordinarily high level, Larry said. For some, it’s the highest level they’ll achieve. For a small few, it’s a starting block

to fame. For instance, Canadian Olympic sprint star Andre De Grasse – a triple medalist at the 2016 Rio Games – competed in the 2012 OFSAA track championships in Brockville. He didn’t medal there, but improved in subsequent years. “We probably witnessed some future Olympians,” Larry said. Hosting the meet is a truly special opportunity, because OFSAA track comes to a community in its east region (Central Ontario to Ottawa) once

every five or six years. Larry suspects it will be hosted in Kingston when the east region’s next turn comes around and that the event won’t likely return to Belleville until around 2032. But based on the success of the event, there’s no reason to believe it won’t come back some day. “My sense is the community really embraced it and welcomed people with open arms,” Larry said. see more photos on page 4 and 5

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

School flag flap; what about our rights? Dear Editor On June 1, my granddaughter showed me a picture of a new flag that went up that afternoon at her school, Hillcrest Public School in Campbellford. Not, as you would expect, the Canada150 flag. It is the PRIDE rainbow flag of the LGBT. Why this flag? Presumably this is to accommodate the one or two students in the school who fall into that category and this will make them feel the school is a safe environment. However, the school has never shown support for other minorities or worthy causes. Do our Muslim and Jewish students feel that they have a safe environment? Or our indigenous people? Canada has laws in place against indecent exposure and public nudity. There are dress codes in schools prohibiting short shorts, tank tops, etc. because the flaunting of a person’s sexuality not only may be offensive to others but is something that is individual and should be private. Yet the Pride flag celebrates ONLY sexual preferences. Not race, religion, intelligence, ethnicity - only sexuality. Despite what many of the LGBT community believe, the rest of the population are really not interested in what a person’s preferences are, whether sexual, religious or choice of vehicle they drive. I find it offensive to have it shoved in my face. That is not intolerance or bigotry. What makes the LGBT members think they are so special? Seeing this flag is as objectionable as seeing pickup trucks sport-

ing certain covers on their trailer hitches. We are so afraid of being politically incorrect that we don’t stand up for our own rights and freedoms. Furthermore, to add insult to injury, although the official government of Canada web site points out that it is against Canadian flag etiquette to display any other flag on the same mast as our national flag we have a public institution, supported by public taxpayer funds ignoring that protocol. What kind of example is that setting? We hear and read about many instances where minority groups complain and play the discrimination card if they feel that they have been slighted. We have the hijab for women in the RCMP, prayer rooms in Toronto schools, special washrooms for transgenders. Gays and lesbians have been granted the rights to marry, to adopt children and receive the same treatment under the law as any other citizen. Flying the flag won’t accomplish anything more. What about the offenses to other groups? Isn’t it time that the rest of us received some consideration? When are our politicians and public employees going to show some backbone rather than be terrified of being labeled intolerant? When are the rest of the silent majority going to say ‘we have rights, too’? Cheryl Westall Campbellford


MP Mike Bossio opens nominations in his riding for special Canadians BY SUE DICKENS

Hastings-Lennox and Addington — In honour of Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation, Mike Bossio, MP for Hastings — Lennox and Addington, has launched a special award for 20 people in the riding who have demonstrated extraordinary service to country or community. Every MP in the country has received 20 special Canada 150 pins made from the copper of the roof of the Parliament of Canada. These pins can be awarded by each MP in whatever way she or he decides. “It’s important to me to take the partisanship out of the Canada 150 celebrations, and make sure that these pins are going to people who have truly earned them through their service,” said Bossio, in a press release. “We have opened a call for nominations, but the decision on who is awarded will be made entirely by an independent panel of distinguished judges.” The panel consists of five representatives from Hastings County, Lennox & Addington County, and the

Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte. “Service to country or community comes in many forms, so we have set diverse criteria, including: entrepreneurialism, environmental stewardship, heroism, leadership, service, as well as work toward gender equality, Indigenous Reconciliation, rural community sustainability, combatting poverty, and ending discrimination. And, it doesn’t have to end there,” said Bossio. The call for nominations opened today, June 1, and will close on Aug. 25. It will be followed by an award ceremony in September. Nominations can come from individuals or from organizations. Recipients must be Canadian citizens who have their primary residence within the electoral district of Hastings — Lennox and Addington. There are no age restrictions. Nomination forms can be obtained at www.mikebossiomp.ca, or by contacting Bossio’s office by phone 613992-5321 (Ottawa); email mike.bossio@parl.gc.ca; or in person. The Judges:

She has provided consultant services to the Chiefs of Ontario, Corrections Canada and Loyalist College, in addition to mentoring and counselling Indigenous students and clients at Loyalist and Kagita Mikam.

He spent 40 years working for a range of charitable and philanthropic organizations, mostly national organizations that range from the Canadian Centre for Philanthropy to the Canadian Council on Social Development. Hastings Master Corporal Jarod Preston of Tweed serves in the Hastings & Prince Edward Regiment. He was raised on a third generation farm in Hastings County, and after graduating from Centre Hastings Secondary School on the honour roll, he is pursuing a career in the construction industry, and will be getting married to his high school sweetheart, Natalie, this

She is a past president of the Lioness Club of Napanee with over 25 years of service. She was a councillor for the Town of Greater Napanee, and has been involved in minor hockey and the fair board. She and her husband John have farmed in the area for the past 54 years.

MP to award commemorative Canada 150 coins Belleville – Bay of Quinte Member of Parliament Neil Ellis has commissioned a commemorative coin to mark Canada’s 150th birthday. The Member of Parliament 150th commemorative coin will be awarded to any constituent of the riding who has demonstrated a high level of individual excellence and achievement in any field benefiting the people of the Bay of Quinte riding. A committee consisting of private citizens, who are representatives of all regions in the riding, has been specially formed for this purpose. The committee will review submissions and select recipients based on the criteria provided. Staring on June 5, instructions on how you can nominate someone, along with the nomination form and full criteria details, will be posted online at: http://nellis.liberal. ca/. The nomination period will remain open until September 5, 2017. The constituents receiving this commemorative coin will be contacted personally by the MP’s office in early October. A presentation ceremony will take place later in the fall.

A Cycling Excursion in Rouen, France BY JOHN M. SMITH

As an avid cyclist, one of the things that I really liked about last summer’s river cruise in France with AmaWaterways was that bicycles were provided for passengers to use. This meant that we could choose to go on a bus excursion, as usual, or opt for a guided cycling tour instead. Well, given that choice, I decided to tour the historic city of Rouen, the capital of the region of Normandy, via two wheels. The bicycles are kept right onboard, so it’s a simple procedure to sign up for a cycling tour and then disembark. A bicycle will be waiting on shore. I simply had to adjust the seat for my height, don my helmet, and check the brakes. I then met my guides and headed out. One guide led the way, making us ride in single file, and one guide brought up the rear. Therefore, there was very little chance of getting lost from the group or going astray. We cyclists saw basically the same points of interest as we would have seen if we had taken the bus and the walking tour, but we had the additional fun of cycling through Old Town on the ancient cobblestoned streets, past the mediaeval quarter with its plethora of half-timbered houses, and through some very narrow alleyways. Some of these alleys were simply too narrow for even a small car, so no bus was going through there either. Our first major stop was at the 14th century Saint Ouen’s Abbey, considered to be a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. Its tower is topped with a pinnacled section that’s known as the “Crown of Normandy”, and this abbey contains 80 awesome stained-

glass windows that allow light to filter into the sanctuary. There’s also the Hotel de Ville (Town Hall) on this same square, and it used to be used as the dormitory for the monastery’s monks. Behind this are the former abbey gardens, which are now a public park.

We then cycled to another impressive Gothic cathedral that’s located right in the heart of the city: the Cathedral of Notre-Dame (Rouen Cathedral). Part of it was built back in the 13th century, but it wasn’t completed until the 16th century. Its elaborate façade impressed impressionist painter Claude Monet so much that he ended up painting it many times. In fact, he was known to visit the Cathedral at various times of the day to do his painting, for he wanted to capture this magnificent structure in various lighting. The Cathedral of Notre-Dame has France’s highest spire (151 metres) and two impressive towers (that are in use in the summer

ing flames erupting from the burning stake. After her death, Joan’s ashes were thrown into the Seine River, and we passed this historical marker on our return trip to the cruiseship. Another important site in Old Town is the Big Clock Tower (Tour de Gros-Horloge). It consists of a Gothic belfry tower that was built in 1389 for defensive purposes. Later, in 1899, a decorative clock was added, and it’s worthwhile to notice its incredible details (including the symbolic days of the week and phases of the moon). Just north of this Big Clock Tower is the Palace of Justice, so we also checked out this amazing example of mediaeval architecture. It was the meeting place of the Parliament of Normandy, and it houses the Rouen Law Courts. However, its main point of interest, to me, was its incredible display of gargoyles! I was also fascinated to learn that when some renovations were done there during the 1970’s, the remains of a much older building were found underneath, and it turned out that this had been the very centre of the Old Jewish Quarter. This Jewish Monument is now protected by an archaeological crypt (making it the oldest Jewish monument discovered in France). Yet another interesting attraction on our cycling tour was the Aitre Saint-Maclou, for the history of this site dates back to the “Black Death” plague of 1348 that killed a third of the population. The pleasant courtyard area that we visited was once used for mass burials, and the buildings surrounding this ancient cemetery served as the ossuary (the galleries display macabre décor that depicts skulls, bones, gravediggers’ tools, etc.). Rouen is definitely worth a visit, and I found that getting around on a bicycle was quite easy and enjoyable. For More Information: www. amawaterways.com

The tower on the right is known as the “Butter Tower” for, interestingly enough, it was paid for by offerings from the faithful who, in return, were allowed to consume butter during Lent! We also saw the Old Market Square, where Joan of Arc was burnt at the stake on May 30, 1431. There’s a marker at the very spot, a large cross, a nearby statue of Saint Joan, and a very modern looking church: the Church of Joan of Arc (Eglise Jeanne d’Arc).

100 years ago planes soared over, fell from Deseronto sky try in the Bay of Quinte area today. She believes the birth of CFB Trenton, in the 1930s, had something to do with the fact that the Canadian Forces were familiar with the Bay of Quinte area skies. And aviation remains an important industry in neighbouring Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory today, as First Nations Technical Institute still runs an aviation program in a small airport not far from the Deseronto border.

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Deseronto – For many Canadian communities, between 1914 and 1918, the First World War provided hardship; but it wasn’t something locals could feel right in front of them. The tragedies were occurring thousands of miles away. But people of the small town of Deseronto witnessed death right in front of them regularly in the war’s final two years. The town was the sight of the Royal Flying Corps, a pilot training program. Historians say, about 50 times, between 1917 and 1918, pilots in flimsy early 20th century airplanes, fell from the sky to their deaths. Watching men pilot airplanes overhead – and in some cases fall – became a spectacle. “People were dying in Deseronto,� said Amanda Hill, an archivist for the Community Archives of Belleville and Hastings County. “The First World War was on its doorsteps – a lot of communities in Canada can’t say that.� Deseronto, a small Hastings County municipality east of Belleville, will mark the 100th anniversary of the opening of the Royal Flying Corps at a ceremony on Saturday, June 10 at 3 p.m. in Rathbun Park on Main Street. Mayor Norman Clark will unveil a plaque, one the municipality and town historians hope will be the first of six plaques that will be scattered about the town to mark various aspects of the town’s history. They hope the plaques will give visitors and oppor-

Yet, 100 years earlier, when airplane technology was new, flying in the air was a dangerous ordeal. And photos Hill has found, showing planes, landing in fields, offers the proof. “When I was coming across all these pictures, I didn’t have any idea that Deseronto was such an important part of aviation in Canada,� she said. “A lot of people still don’t realize it.�

tunity to complete their own historic walking tour. Hill was an archivist for the Town of Deseronto for several years before moving to a new post at the Community Archives, now situated in the Belleville Public Library building. While working in Deseronto, she learned about the history of the Corps, particularly through the numerous photographs that remained from those days. She said the pilot training represented a short period in the town’s history, but it was “very intense and very heavily photographed. It’s the most recorded period of Deseronto history.� The Corps operated out of two

training camps; Camp Rathbun to the north of the town and Camp Mohawk on the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory. The camps trained some 3,000 pilots and employed local men and women as mechanics and medical staff. The camps opened in the summer of 2017, but as winter approached most training opportunities for Canadian pilots were transferred to an airbase in Texas, Hill said. Camps reopened in the spring of 2018 but weren’t needed long after that. When the war ended, the camps shut down. But Hill said it’s no coincidence that aviation remains a strong indus-

The Judge It! Day is a regional 4-H event. It is hosted by Region 3 on the last Tuesday of July at the Orono Fairgrounds; this year’s event will be Tuesday, July 25th. Judge It! is a competition for 4-H members from the 9 counties in Region 3. The members come together for an afternoon of judging, social activities and an awards banquet. The judging portion helps to foster critical thinking skills. Members need to place 4 ‘things’ in order from 1 through 4, and then provide the reasons why they chose a sample over the other. The classes range from livestock to hand made objects to crops. At this year’s, Judge IT! we will be judging dairy heifers, beef cows, hay, seed art & maybe horses (I forgot this last one). There is also an ID Quiz, where members have to correctly identify different objects used in agriculture from the past to the present. Once the judging portion has finished members are able to cool off at the pool, or sit around and visit/play games. The last part of the evening is a dinner, with awards from the day, and a dance. Interested contact your Leader for a copy of the registration form

The Gardening Club: The second meeting of the Hastings County Gardening club was held April 26th at the home of Beth Lake. Our project for the night was to build our garden boxes. 4ft Ă— 4ft wooden boxes that we will fill with dirt to plant our seeds and plants in. This meeting was a BYOD meeting meaning “bring your own dadâ€? to help us assemble the boxes and help out with the power tools. After we had our boxes built we went into the Lakes home and watched a video about a young girl who started a community garden to help supply soup kitchens with fresh vegetables to make the soup for people in need. Our next meeting will be held May 15 and we will be learning how to plant our boxes. Our third meeting was hosted by Paige where we watched Mr. Little and our leader Jennifer mix the fertilizer and peat moss, and then made a grit of 12 squares with screws and string to map out the garden. We all helped in planting a different vegetable in a square. One member recorded the plant that went in each square for Paige. We also had two guests who explained the different variety of vegetables and where in Ontario they grow the best to help us decide what we should be planting. Our assignment from Beth was to get our garden box ready and get them planted. By: Amy Dafoe and Paige Matthews

The Stirling Horse Club The first meeting was hosted by Abby Reed. We held our elections and while eating our pizza we watched a documentary on a person called� Buck� Buck’s home life was not the best but in his youth, he found that he could relate and train horses by understanding their ways of learning without being mean. During the meeting, we were to take notes on his quotes and some of the interesting things that happened in the movie. We attended the Clearview Farms where we all learned how to get our horses to obey us with just using our fingers and the lead. Sarah showed us by using our fingers and by touch we can get our horses to move in different directions and back up, we also with gentle coaxing got our horse to touch his nose to the ground. Our next meeting was held at the Stirling Fairgrounds between the Reeds, Lakes and Dracops we had enough horses for all who attended. We all had to participate in tacking up the horses and all members had to lead and walk them around the arena for awhile just so that they were settled down for us to ride. Every person who attended this riding meeting rode even if they were scared or had never rode before This was a GREAT meeting. As reported by Jazlyn Bush

“Little Shop of Horrors” is a BTG delight BY JACK EVANS

Having seen two versions of this 1960s scary comedy, movie and stage, this theatre buff was highly skeptical about its presentation by the Belleville Theatre Guild this season in the Pinnacle Playhouse. But skepticism was quickly dispensed with as the powerful cast, mostly newcomers to the Playhouse won their audience over right from the start and held them in their power. Although she has had experience directing other productions, this is a first time for Meaghan Lattanzio to direct in the Playhouse and she proved she is more than capable. That included assembling the right cast and an inspiring pit band of five talented musicians. The alien plant that looked so cute to start with becomes a monster out to destroy humanity, is done by puppetry and that is another skill Lattanzio found in the person of Matthew Hawley. Seamless change between scenes, abundant comic lines and excellent singing and acting throughout made this a thoroughly delightful two hours. This show, which has been around now for several decades, is a collaboration of Alan Menken and

Howard Ashman, set in the inner slum city of any metropolitan area where the characters are all losers who just accept their fate. Then along comes the plant, which brings fame and fortune to nerdy Seymour Krelborn played to the hilt by GianPaolo Lattanzio, helps him win his girl, Audrey (also excellent, Skylar Pierson) and a full-bodied backup cast of Reg. Stacey as Mr. Mushnik, Seymour’s boss and shop owner, street urchin chorus of Wendy Roy, Amanda Robertson Crystal MacKenzie Hogle, and Alyssa Ross, Jonathan Wright playing several roles including the plant’s voice, Kevin Pierson, Chris Calwell and Steve Forrester as a radio announcer. Still early in the run, this cast has this show thoroughly nailed. The show continues through June 17. For tickets or information, call the Box Office; (613) 967-1442.

Quinte Arts Council anniversary Sixties show a huge hit BY JACK EVANS

The plot was thin, but beautifully adorned by almost every hit song from the 1960s you can remember; it created happy audiences for the Quinte Arts Council’s 50th anniversary big project, “The Summer of ’67.” The show was actually a partnership between the arts council and Shaer Productions, who created two consecutive “Bellevegas” reviews for fund raising events over the past two years. But for their 50th anniversary this year,

the council asked the Torontobased production team for a full musical. And they got it, in spades. A teenage girl name Georgie feels parental oppression when they seek to steer her into postsecondary education after completing high school. She sees many problems in the world and the movement of young people to hippie colonies seemed to be doing more to help things than college graduates, she thought. So leave home she did, headed for Yorkville in Toronto, then Greenwhich Village in New York

City and finally, Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco, meeting new friends and a love interest along the way. In answer to a heartfelt prayer from her mother to have someone keep her daughter safe, a girl named Windsong enters Georgie’s life and performs the role of guardian. Ultimately she came to realize that her dreams of young people leading a charge to rescue the world from corruption were made of smoke. With a six-piece pit band seated in front of the stage and often

The Good Earth What can happen in a week

By Dan Clost A common conversation with customers who have acquired a tree is the one that centres on an apparent lack of growth and this usually happens several years post-purchase. Occasionally, but not often, there is merit in the argument. In those situations the tree is struggling to establish itself in poor growing conditions, which may be caused by the cultural environment or by too much TLC from its steward. And there is the recognition that the tree itself may be the issue. This conversation is common enough that we suggest the new purchaser take a picture of the tree immediately after planting. We also recommend that a smiling person be standing beside it and that smiling person should be an adult. A great way to work this is to plant a tree on behalf of an older person you respect (perhaps a parent or grandparent) and then take a

snap of them and their tree. If there is a future concern about the slow growth, referencing that photo will usually show that there has been significant increase. One reason for this idea of slow growth is that the tree is viewed daily and our perception changes each time we look at it. Just recently, the Clost Clan visited St. John’s to celebrate the occasion of youngest daughter’s graduation from Memorial University. (More about the sights later.) This meant we were away from the estate for a week. I had a very good mental picture of the grounds and gardens as I had toiled diligently to prepare everything for the upcoming neglect. When we returned I was very surprised by the amount of changes that had occurred- the real images clashed with those held in the virtual memory. Clearly, there was more rain. I know that because grass enjoys all the spring moisture it can get and those blades were feeling the love. The result was a fully covered lawn with winter bare spots filled in and weeds completely shaded. The flowering trees had changed completely- the early lilacs were finished, those with a bit of the Korean strain in them were just opened and the Japanese one still in tight bud but promising a very full display in a week or two. A welcome sight was the Venus dogwood, Cornus kousa chinensis ‘Venus’ in full bloom. This diminutive chappy came to us via our company’s annual charity staff auction and it has taken a few years to establish itself: please refer to paragraph one. The second pleasant surprise was that the Nelly Moser clematis has completely covered its metal obelish with vivid six inch blooms and, across the yard , the clashing brilliant orange of the patch of double-petalled poppies are clamoring for equal attention. Another change was the size of the leaves on the various plants; from our perspective we left Quinte to its cool, wet spring and returned to a pleasant summer. Naturally, it rained the very next day.

some of them on stage playing, the cast of almost 20 romped through dozens of hits: “Georgy Girl,” (naturally) ”Wednesday Morning,” “Clouds,” “Are You Going to San Francisco,” “California Dreaming,” “All My Trials Lord” “Turn, Turn, Turn,” pouring over the stage in powerful solos and harmonious ensemble numbers to full-throated choruses, ending with hand-clapping, audience-singing favourites like “All You Need Is Love,” and “Let the Sunshine In.” The question for the arts council now remains: What can they do for

an encore? The show definitely benefited from the professional touch of Kim Dafoe as director and Anita Halfpenny as choreographer. Rachel Lewington played the key role of Georgie, solidly backed by Anita Halfpenny as her mother, Jean, and other cast members: Alison Brant, Doug Ankenman, Scot Maybee, Brittany Norman, Josh Lambert, Karl Witty, Alison Brant and Sonya Zaback as Georgie’s guardian, Windsong. The show closed Saturday after four successful weekend evenings.

Party like it's 1867 in Havelock, Cordova BILL FREEMAN bfreeman@theemc.ca

Havelock — It would have been nice to get some federal and provincial Canada 150 celebration funding, but that’s not going to stop the July 1 party from rolling in Havelock and Cordova Mines. Havelock-Belmont-Methuen council has decided to top up its Canada Day celebration budget by $4,000 to fill in a little bit of the gap left by lack of federal and provincial or provincial funding. The township had applied for Canada 150 celebration funding from both Queen’s Park and Ottawa but were turned down. That seemed to be a “common theme” around Peterborough County, said township economic development officer/deputy clerk Brian Grattan. “I didn’t hear of too many organizations that did receive funding in the celebration portion of it.” The original plan was for the township to chip in $9,000 as their one-third portion of the Canada 150 July 1 celebration with the federal-provincial funding going toward entertainment and sound, supplies and additional fireworks. The $4,000 will go toward the Natasha Barrie, Alicia Ashbury and Priscilla Hill show off their Canada Day colours in Havelock last year. Bill Freeman/Metroland same thing but in a scaled back

form, says Grattan. This year’s celebration will be a co-ordinated two-day “community celebration “between the Village of Havelock and Cordova Mines. Grattan and Deputy Mayor Jim Martin met with officials from the Havelock Lions, Cordova Mines Recreation Association and legion to co-ordinate activities. Things start July 1 with a Canada 150 parade in Havelock (11 a.m.) followed by noontime opening ceremonies at the community centre. There will be live entertainment, kids' activities and food from 12:30 until 3 p.m. At 3 p.m. the excitement shifts to Cordova Mines where there will be entertainment, activities, horseshoes, a barbecue and fireworks at dusk. On July 2 there will be live entertainment at the Havelock Legion from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. At 6 p.m., there will be more entertainment, children’s activities and a barbecue along Highway 7, followed by fireworks. “There’s lots going here,” Martin said. Cordova Mines is looking for performers. If you’re interested, call 705-778-2893 by June 16.


Old Church features deCarle June 10 Prairie Oyster’s lead vocalist and bassist Russell deCarle is coming to Quinte West on Saturday June 10 to the Old Church Theatre. Multiple Juno winners and Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame inductees, the band and deCarle are familiar with top awards and accolades. Never one to rest on laurels, deCarle heeded his musical muse by striking out on his own to write and compose his own songs and has won two SOCAN song of the year awards including 1994 number one single, Prairie Oyster’s ‘Such a lonely One’. DeCarle has collaborated with a virtual ‘who’s who’ of Canadian country and roots artists to create his CD, Under the Big Big Sky. To name a few: Blue Rodeo’s Jim Cuddy, David Wilcox, Kevin Breit, and Prairie Oyster band mate Keith Glass among others. The Old Church Theatre is located at 940 Bonisteel Road. Show starts at 7:30.

Doors and bar opens at 7:00 for this “Do not miss” performance. Advance tickets are $25 ($30 at the door) and available online at oldchurch. ca or by calling Lesley

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

“Attack” on writer was unwarranted

Dear Editor, I am writing with respect Bonisteel at (613) 848-1411. to your 6-1-17 opinion piece (“She sells seathing hate for IsPrairie Oyster’s lead vocalist lam”), which a friend of mine and bassist Russell deCarle. sent to me on Twitter. I take Submitted photo exception to the attack on Ms. MacWilliams because, although her views could probably be stated more succinctly, she is absolutely right. Islam has been very consistent in its treatment of non-Muslims since its inception. It is a religion that is inherently violent, and which stands in contrast to other major religions such as Judaism, Christianity, and Buddhism in that regard. We have oftentimes interpreted

da. If they were in the Middle East, they would be considered infidels. In short, Ms. McWilliams is not hateful. She is correct. Islam as it is practised in most of the world is an oppressive, hateful, and wicked religion. However, in acknowledging this fact, we would all do well to understand that the manner in which it’s practised in most of the world is far different from the manner in which it is practiced in the West.

the word “radical” as meaning “bad.” For example, we blame “radical” Islam for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The truth is that, in context, there is nothing “radical” about Islam as it is practised by many terrorist groups (and governments) in the Middle East. In addition to blowing up buildings, this is a religion that has subjugated women, homosexuals, and other religions for centuries. I am not saying that other religions are innocent of the same charges, but most of them have reformed. Islam has not.

GIFT OF LOVE Dr. Bruce Cronk would be embarrassed to know the Belleville General Hospital Foundation has named a group of very special donors in his honour. He was a brilliant diagnostician and a true man of science. He was a fierce advocate for his patients. He was a teacher. Most of all, he was compassionate, kind and generous, and he was loved and respected by everyone who ever knew him. But, he was also modest.

Dr. Bruce and his wife Sylvia

So, Dr. Cronk would probably say he didn’t deserve to have such an incredible group named for him. But we know better - not something that could be said very often - because members of the Dr. Bruce Cronk Society embody many of the same traits that made him so beloved. By making a gift to BGH in their will, Society members demonstrate their caring and generous nature; they’re saying they don’t want their commitment to the ones they love, or to their community, to end without one last gift to make care better. Just as Dr. Cronk did. People do make gifts in their wills without telling us, and we’re very grateful when we receive them, but we encourage people to tell us, and join the Dr. Bruce Cronk Society, so we can say thank you in advance. And, there is another reason. When you let us tell others about your intention to support the hospital in your will, it encourages them to do the same.

Stirling yard sale reaches fundraising goal BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling—After having their giant yard sale rained out earlier in May, the Stirling Rotary Club ended up with a perfect day for their rescheduled event at the Stirling Train Station on Saturday, May 27. Rotary co-president Andrew Marre said the sale was extremely busy in the morning. He said the club’s goal was to raise $2,500, and that goal was nearly reached by noon, with many more people still coming to look for bargains. The sale had everything from

clothing and trinkets to household items and sporting goods — and yes, there was even a kitchen sink. Marre described the sale as “Terrific!” adding, “We’ve already raised as much money as last year. It’s been phenomenal.” As for where that money is used for, “It all goes back into the community,” Marre said. Unsold items are being donated to the Stirling Legion for their annual garage sale, which is taking place at the Legion on on Friday and Saturday, June 16-17.

Lively party at Chapters features authors, music BY JACK EVANS

A Canada Day party a few weeks in advance focused on local artistic talent on Saturday, June 3. It included live musical entertainment by various members of Quinte Symphony, books either by local authors or of local interest and display of art by local artists. Coupled with normal Saturday traffic, it produced a busy scene in the store for most of the day and brisk sales of autographed books. Authors on hand included Cecily Ross, with her new book: “The Lost Diaries of Susanna Moodie,” and Jane Simpson with her book on William MacDonald, who played a key role in the founding of Point Anne and was a forefather of renowned Canadian artist and Point Anne native, Manley MacDonald. Other participants included Laurie Hoover and Chantal Heick. Meanwhile, Chapters staff treated customers

This year’s farm tour on July 7 from 9 a.m.-4 p.m., offers an “up close and personal” experience with three kinds of farms. “You will enjoy hands-on farm experiences while learning about each farm, their specialties and their challenges,” said Jackie Igleheart, one of the hardworking members of the festival committee. This popular tour has been sold out in the past due to the special and diversified farm engagement provided to visitors.
