Full lineup planned for Sports Expo and Torch arrival

By Stephen Petrick

Events - Belleville - The Belleville & District Chamber of Commerce is getting pretty excited about the Sports Expo it’s hosting on Friday, July 3, to mark the arrival of the Pan Am Games torch to the city.

The event takes place at West Zwick’s Park from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and will include an official lighting ceremony.

The idea is to celebrate the pending start of the Pan Am Games, which will bring athletes from North, South, Central America and the Caribbean to Toronto from July 10 to 26.

So naturally the event will celebrate both sports and the Americas. Entertainment will include a Mexican Amigo Mariachi Band, a Peruvian Flute Band and Caribbean Stilt Walkers.

A long list of sports groups will also be present, with demonstrations and displays.

“For those who don’t have experience with sports, this is the perfect event,” says Susan Walsh, the Chamber’s special events co-ordinator behind this event. “There’s never been a Sports Expo in Belleville.”

Among the sports groups expected at the event are: the U19 World Floorball Team, Belleville Ultimate Disc Association, Belleville Roller Derby, Quinte Blades (speed skating), Belleville Youth Rep Soccer, Belleville Curling Club, Belleville Youth Swim Team, Pegasus Cheer Gym, Inside Out Dance Academy, Quinte Tennis Club, Flat Rock (From left) Corrine Codina, Jordan Davis and Katlyn Anderson, three students who work with the Belleville Chamber of Commerce, show off Pachi, the official mascot of the Toronto2015 Pan Am Games.

Farms Riding, Quinte Sports & Social These mascots will be handed out to winners of a colouring contest, who will be announced at the Sports Expo at West Zwick’s on July 3. Kids can get copies of a picture of Panchi to colour at guest services

Retiring city staffer praises Canada

News - Belleville - ThirtyďŹ ve years of satisďŹ ed employment at City Hall was one factor that inspired retiring employee Jasmina Jamal, as an immigrant, to describe Canada as “the best country in the worldâ€? when she received retirement honours at city council Monday.

She recalled how happy she was to get her job in 1980 shortly after arriving from Angola. “I’ve enjoyed every day of my 35 years with the city, she said, as she received a large bouquet of owers and other gifts from Mayor Taso Christopher.

Council also approved letters of support for new green energy projects in partnership with Veridian, of which the city is already a stakeholder. One project is for additional solar panels installations. The second is three additional hydro electrical generating turbines in dams across the Moira River.

Mark Turney, vice-president, operations, of Veridian Connections made a presentation asking for support to give the company extra “points� to get approved by the province to export the power.

The dam installations particularly, he said, would be “among the ďŹ rst in North America,â€? using a new type

of low level turbine already proven successful in Europe. That project, he reminded, will also beneďŹ t Quinte Conservation, which owns the dams.

While he supported the motions of approval, Councillor Egerton Boyce also argued that for the solar units, council should make its own submission and reap greater proďŹ ts in the long run as the city already has experience in setting up its own solar panels.

A delegation representing the Belleville Downtown Improvement Area requested approval to hold a street dance in August on the Bridge Street bridge under the new LED lighting which is being installed. That was quickly granted. They also filled council in on other plans and developments in the downtown, including news that six news businesses have move in during the past year.

Council also got back to Habitat for Humanity’s efforts to ease development charges for two new lots until after date of closing. That also was approved even while council’s grants committee is considering waiving all or part of the fees.

Hollywood North Film Festival announces strong lineup Entertainment - Belleville The new Hollywood North Film Festival is starting with a bang.

The festival, set to debut in the Quinte region this summer, July 16-19, announced its lineup at a press conference at Capers restaurant in Belleville on Wednesday, June 17. Fifty films will be screened between its three theatres, Belleville’s Empire Theatre, Quinte West’s Centre Theatre and Picton’s Regent Theatre.

The lineup consists of eight

films that played recently at the famous Cannes Film Festival, 17 Canadian films and five local films.

It’s more than enough to get festival director Jacob Cote excited about the big event. Cote and his team have worked for months to get the festival going, hoping it will draw filmmakers to come and experience the region and possibly lead to re-growth in the film industry here.

“It’s a little known fact that Trenton, in the 1920s, was known as Hollywood North,”

Quick facts about the HNFF

Local films include: Canadian Muscle (feature) by Colin Gray Mercy (short) by Victor Cooper Discretion (student) by Nick Roy, Memories (Loyalist College student production) by Christoph Blaschke, A Day in the Park (Loyalist College student production) Annaliese Mai Heissler Cannes Accepted Films include: Johnny Walker (feature) – Cannes 2015 – Market Premier Helio – Cannes 2015 – Short Film Corner The Autumn of Zao – Cannes 2015: Short Film Corner Faced with a Choice – Cannes 2015: Short Film Corner Hypothermia – Cannes 2015: Short Film Corner Duality – Cannes 2015: Short Film Corner Getting Ready to Dance for a Lunch Date – Cannes 2015: Short Film Corner Sineater – Cannes 2015: Short Film Corner

Excitement grows in the city for arrival of the Pan Am Games torch Continued from page 1

Club, Kinder Dance, Rhino Sports & Play and Sports Xpress.

Several sponsoring businesses will also have displays.

They include, the Province of Ontario, Toronto2015, Porter Airlines, OLG, President’s Choice, CIBC, Metroland Media and the Ontario Trillium Foundation.

Chamber staff say they’re excited about the event because they feel it will draw people from across the region to experience all Belleville has to offer.

“We took this on because we feel it’s a great opportunity to showcase Belleville,” said Chamber CEO Bill Saunders.

he said in his introductory speech, referencing a production studio that once existed in the city, allowing many actors and producers to find work here. “We want to foster a filmmaking industry here again.”

Cote said that by using the online submission service Filmfreeway, the selection team received 97 submissions. The judges had to narrow it down to 50. The end result is a full lineup, filled with nothing but quality work, Cote said.

He explained that the films shown would not be Hollywood blockbusters, but rather independent films. But he encourages Quinte residents to come out and “expose yourself to something you might not normally watch.”

He said the success of the Belleville Downtown DocFest, which drew about 4,000 spec-

tators over a weekend this past winter, gives him confidence that this festival will be embraced.

Among the judges on the selection panel was Paul Papadopoulos, a television and new media professor at Loyalist College.

He said he didn’t know what to expect when he began reviewing submissions, but in the end was thrilled with the quality of work that was received.

“I didn’t know if I’d be entertained or if it would be painful,” he said. “I have to say I was amazed.”

He added that the fact that eight films that played at the Cannes festival will be shown speaks to the quality of the event.

“If you can’t make it to Cannes, come to Belleville,” he said.

The festival will start with an

Opening Red Carpet Gala at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 16 at the Empire Theatre. It will feature a screening of the short film, I am Celib (from France) and the fea-

ture film The Philosopher King (Sweden).

Feature films will also be shown on Friday and Saturday evenings at the Empire and Regent.

A festival pass costs $25, or $20 for students and seniors. For more details on the films, the schedule and tickets, visit <www.hnff. ca>.

News - An overheard conversation on a business trip shortly after the birth of his daughter was the catalyst behind Nick Foley starting the Move For Inclusion initiative. The 36-year-old Belleville nativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter Brynn was born with Down Syndrome on September 10, 2012. Nick and Brynnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mom, Brooklyn Lynch, embraced the one in 1,500 chance of having a child with Down Syndrome saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the greatest thing weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever created. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m blessed every day to have her in our lifeâ&#x20AC;?.

So when he heard the two men make disparaging comments about children living with disabilities in their daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class, Nick knew he had to do something to contribute to inclusion in society. Thinking of how to make this a better world for his daughter, the former teacher at Bayfield Treatment Centres in Consecon came up with the Move For Inclusion initiative, which encourages everyone to get active and understand the importance of inclusion and acceptance of all individuals. Out of that came his Ride For Inclusion to raise awareness and $100,000 for inclusive charities.

Nick is cycling from Victoria, B.C. to Saint Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Newfoundland, giving speeches along the way at schools, businesses and service clubs like Rotary on the importance of acceptance without bias. When he reached Belleville, he had ridden 5,000 kilometres accompanied by Darren Moore of Belleville, who is driving the Dodge Caravan support vehicle supplied by Bayview Auto.

On June 17th, Nick stopped in at Bayview Auto to pick up a generous cheque in the amount of $3,300 for Move For Inclusion. Bayview Auto did necessary maintenance and repairs on the van before Nick and Darren left town the next day bound for the east coast, some 3,000 kilometres away. At an average 25 kilometres per hour, Nick says he hopes to ride into Saint Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on July 25th.

to help local employers and stimulate population growth in the region by supplementing the workforce with the skills needed by local businesses.

“The support of the province, in helping to put Belleville and the entire Quinte Region on the map in terms of newcomer attraction, is a very welcome investment,” said Belleville Mayor Taso Christopher in a press release. “Most communities in eastern Ontario struggle to attract people and investment.

This portal will be a critical part of our resident attraction strategy for the whole region.”

Jon Van Huizen, Chair of the Bay of Quinte Living Council, added, “This web portal will allow us to showcase all of the advantages our region presents.

Our attributes, which include

an enviable quality of life, an affordable full lifestyle, plus exciting investment and job opportunities, can now be shared around the world.”

Cristina Martins, Parliamentary Assistant to Ontario’s Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and International Trade, says “Immigration is imperative to Ontario’s economic strength and future growth. Our immigration strategy helps communities reach their potential by attracting newcomers and investment to the area.”

The inclusion of Belleville/ Bay of Quinte Region in the provincial portal is intended to enable the region to communicate the opportunities that exist to anyone who may be considering a move to Canada from anywhere in the world.

OPINION

The walking dead

Editorial - “There are examples of species all over the world that are essentially the walking dead,” said Stanford University professor Paul Ehrlich. “We are sawing off the limb that we are sitting on.”

He was talking about the Sixth Extinction, the huge loss of species that is Gwynne Dyer underway right now.

It has been discussed in public before, of course, but what Ehrlich and other scientists from Stanford and Princeton universities and the University of California Berkeley have done is to document it statistically.

Animals and plants are always going extinct, usually to be replaced by rival species that exploit the same ecological niche more efficiently. But the normal turnover rate is quite slow, according to the fossil record: about one species of vertebrate per 10,000 species goes extinct each century. Ehrlich and his colleagues deliberately raised the bar, assuming that the normal extinction rate is twice as high as that – and still got an alarming result.

In a study published this month in Science Advances, they report that vertebrates (animals with internal skeletons made of bone or cartilage – mammals, birds, reptiles and fish) are going extinct at a rate 114 times faster than normal. In a separate study last year, Professor Stuart Pimm of Duke University estimated that the loss rate may be as much as a thousand times higher than normal – and that includes plants as well as animals.

“We are now entering the sixth great mass extinction event,” said Gerardo Ceballos of the Universidad Autonoma de Mexico, lead author of the Science Advances study. “If it is allowed to continue, life would take many millions of years to recover and our species itself would likely disappear early on.” Indeed, Harvard biologist E.O. Wilson has estimated that at the current rate of loss, half of Earth’s higher lifeforms will be extinct by 2100.

The previous five mass extinctions, all during the past half-billion years, each wiped out at least half of the existing species of life. Four of them were probably caused by drastic warming of the planet due to massive, millennia-long volcanic eruptions.

The warming eventually made the deep oceans oxygen-free, allowing sulfur bacteria to emerge from the muds. As they took over the oceans, they killed off all the oxygen-based life – and when

they finally reached the surface, they emitted vast quantities of hydrogen sulfide gas that destroyed the ozone layer and directly poisoned most landbased life as well.

The fifth and most recent mass extinction, at the end of the Cretaceous era 65 million years ago, was different. It was caused by a giant asteroid that threw so much dust up when it hit Earth that the Sun was effectively hidden for years. First the plants died, and then the animals. But the cause of the sixth extinction is a single species: us.

It’s fair to say that we are the victims of our own success, but so is the entire biosphere. There were one billion of us in 1800. We are now seven and a half billion, on our way to ten or eleven billion. We have appropriated the most biologically productive 40 percent of the planet’s land surface for our cities, farms and pastures, and there’s not much room left for the other species.

They have been crowded out, hunted out, or poisoned by our chemical wastes. Their habitats have been destroyed. Even the oceans are being devastated as one commercial fish species after another is fished out. And still our population continues to grow, and our appetite for meat causes more land to be cleared to grow grain not for people, but for livestock.

All this even before global warming really gets underway and starts to take huge bites out of the ecosphere. We are on the Highway to Hell, and it’s hard to see how we get off it.

In a way, climate change is the easiest part of the problem to fix, because all we have to do is stop burning fossil fuels and reform the way we farm to cut carbon dioxide emissions. More easily said than done, as the history of the past thirty years amply demonstrates, but certainly not impossible if we take the task seriously.

Maintaining the diversity of species (some of which we haven’t even identified yet) that provide essential “ecosystem services” is going to be far harder, because the web of interdependence among apparently unrelated species is very complex. At the very least, however, it is clear that we must restore around a quarter of our agricultural land to its original “wild” state and cut back drastically on fishing.

It’s far from clear that we can do that in time and still go on feeding all of the human population, but the alternative is worse. James Lovelock put it very bluntly in his book “The Revenge of Gaia.”

“If we continue business as usual, our species may never again enjoy the lush and verdant world we had only a hundred years ago,” he wrote. “What is most in danger is civilisation; humans are tough enough for breeding pairs to survive ... but if these huge changes do occur it seems likely that few of the teeming billions now alive will survive.”

What South Carolina can learn from Manitoba

By Stephen Petrick Editorial - Can today’s problems be blamed on yesterday’s mistakes? That’s an interesting question to debate now, given two stories in the news over the past week, one on each side of the border.

The United States is currently reeling from another race-related crime; the gunning down of nine innocent African Americans at a historic church in Charleston, South Carolina. The accused killer was apparently motivated by hate. His interest in the Confederate flag, which was seen in several photos of him that have surfaced, has renewed calls for the South Carolina to rid itself of it, on grounds that it symbolizes slavery and white supremacist ideology.

This issue has seemingly nothing to do with news out west recently that the Manitoba government has officially apologized to its First Nations for what was known as the Sixties Scoop, a drive to remove Aboriginal children from their own communities and into white homes against their family members’ wishes.

One story is about a correction that many are arguing needs to be made. Another is about a correction that has been made; that is if you consider a correction an acknowledgement that racism once was so severe in a region that efforts were made to wipe out a culture. The term “cultural genocide” has been used before in talking about the moving of First Nations children into white communities and residential schools.

There are some who might argue that either type of correction is pointless. If South Carolina stops hanging the Confederate flag on government buildings, it probably won’t automatically stop hate crimes. The long history of tension between white and black America is based on much more than a simple flag.

Likewise, I’d bet my life that there are more than a few Canadians muttering under their breath now, saying, “What is the point of an apology for something that happened several decades ago?” This apology, much like the one the federal government issued in 2008, won’t automatically solve

problems that are troubling First Nations communities, such of access to housing or safe drinking water. It certainly doesn’t change the fact that an Aboriginal woman is four times more likely to be murdered or go missing than a Canadian women of another race.

To that I would argue, yes, corrections or apologizes don’t automatically solve problems … but, at least they’re a start.

The Confederate flag, which wasn’t even lowered to half mass in the South Carolina State Capital in the wake of the shootings, has a long history in the United States. Different sources will tell you different things, but it’s generally accepted that it goes back to the United States Civil War and was hung by the Southern states that fought to preserve slavery.

Some in the U.S. argue it simply symbolizes Southern heritage – and all those good things you hear about the south, like its great “southern hospitality.” But it’s also the flag used by the mega-racist group known as the Ku Klux Klan. And it certainly symbolized something unseemly in the mind of the accused Charleston shooter.

When a flag with connections to racism (intentional or otherwise) is still highly visible, and even celebrated, it justifies the actions of the few who see racism as acceptable. And we can only imagine how the message of that flag manifested in the mind of the accused. For the sake of human dignity, the Confederate flag has to go.

And now back to Manitoba. No, the apology doesn’t change everything for First Nations communities, but at least it shows that its leaders are aware of history and want to learn from the past. And hopefully this will give First Nations leaders some faith that politicians will work with them to improve quality of life.

Canada and the US both have issues related to race, but these two stories show the stark contrast in how they’re being addressed. In Manitoba, attitudes appear to be changing. In South Carolina there’s still a ways to go. But this story isn’t over yet.

Ballet School hopes to bring down Bob House’s beard through fundraiser News – Belleville - How do you top a marathoner running in a tutu?

In October of 2014, the Quinte Ballet School of Canada’s Treasurer, Boyd Kalnay, ran the Prince Edward County Marathon in a classical tutu and lots of bling, since the fundraising goal of $10,000 had been reached and in fact exceeded. More recently on June 8, at the QBSC’s ‘Spring Showcase’ performance, the school announced this fall’s major fundraising effort. To the overture of Rossini’s The Barber

of Seville, long-time Quinte Ballet School of Canada supporter, photographer and former member of the board, Bob House, was featured on stage. Bob has pledged to cut off his luxurious beard if the fundraising goal of $1,000/inch can be raised. Bob’s beard was measured at 12 inches, therefore the school’s goal is to raise $12,000. Bob’s chin has not been seen in many years.

The audience was so excited about the announcement that pledges were immediately made, raising al-

most $1,000 that evening.

Bob’s shearing is scheduled to take place on Thursday, Oct. 29.

Those who would love to see Bob’s face, are invited to contribute to the ‘Bob Backs Ballet’ fund. Donations can be made through the Quinte Ballet School of Canada at 196 Palmer Road, through the Canada Helps icon on the QBSC website at quinteballetschool.com, and at Robert House Photography at 375 Front Street in Belleville (available Local photographer and Quinte Ballet School of Canada supporter Bob House plans to cut off his 12-inch beard if the school can raise $12,000 by late October.

Councillor’s apology demand denied a previous council meeting at which Denyes said that parks help generate sales in subdivisions “and I hope Councillor McCaw’s signs aren’t on those properties.”

That exchange took place during a debate on how council should increase its funding for approved neighbourhood parks in both Settlers Ridge and Potter Creek subdivisions to the same level as Canniff Mills.

Her demand sparked a brief adjournment of council while the mayor

News – Belleville - Another tense standoff arose in Belleville City Council Chambers Monday as Councillor Kelly McCaw rose on a “point of privilege” to demand Mayor Taso Christopher censure Councillor Jackie Denyes for what she called unfair and insulting remarks to herself personally, to her real estate company and fellow workers. She quoted Councillor Denyes’ actual words from the televised broadcast of

8 Belleville News - Thursday, June 25, 2015

left the chambers to consult with City Clerk Matt MacDonald. He returned in a few minutes to rule that the city’s council procedure bylaw had not been broken and he would not call for a formal apology.

That launched an appeal by Councillor Mitch Panciuk to overturn the ruling based on his reading of the bylaw. That motion lost on a 4-3 vote.

(Two members of council had declared conflicts on the issue so did not vote.)

Council also spent a lot of time on the matter of a crosswalk in front of Amico’s Quinte Gardens retirement home on College Street. A large delegation of residents attended council to argue that it is too far to walk to

the nearest regular stoplight. Also, traffic both from the Gardens and from Quinte Secondary School across the street, tend to go directly across, causing what one spokesperson said was “many near misses.”

Issue after issue on the crosswalk got built up as discussion continued.

A traffic survey showed it did not meet provincial standards for a crosswalk. Councillor Mike Graham, a retired police officer, contended the survey is correct and adding a crosswalk would raise the danger level in that particular area, not diminish it.

There were also concerns about installing the walk with impending major construction from the north end water main soon to cross that

area. Even though residents have been asking for a crosswalk for six years, another narrow recorded vote saw it defeated by one vote despite strong sentimental support to appease the residents.

Cat owners will be surprised at how quickly city staff moved to prepare a bylaw against the pets running at large. Approval to draft such a bylaw had just been given at the last meeting two weeks previously and the bylaw was one of those presented and passed Monday. It provides for a fine of $25 to reclaim impounded cats, the amount to increase by $25 for every instance for the same animal.

Belleville Firefighters train to handle “May Day” call News – Belleville – There was a body inside the building and firefighters needed to pull it out. But the smoke was so thick, no one could see a thing.

With the help of some lights, a rope to lay a pathway and a solid communication effort, they were able to locate the body and pull it to the door of a fire escape.

The whole experience gave Belleville Firefighters some confidence that, should a colleague ever have to call May Day again, they’ll know how to take care of their own.

The above situation describes a training exercise carried out by the Belleville Fire Department’s Rapid Intervention Team (RIT).

The body was a dummy and the smoke, while opaque, was artificial, so it didn’t pose a health risk. But the scenario was de-

signed to be as realistic as possible.

“This is as real as it gets for a training exercise”, said Ben Whiten, a Belleville firefighter with the RIT team who was leading the group.

While in between training exercises on Friday, June 19, Whiten explained the purpose of the exercise, which took place on the second floor of a Front Street plaza.

He said it is part of a firefighters survival training program that was implemented province-wide in 2003. This training, which contin-

ued on Monday, June 22, marked the second time since 2003 that Belleville firefighters went through the drills.

Whiten said while the training scenarios involve exercises in which firefighters have to help another firefighter get out of the building, the training will also be useful if a firefighter has to rescue a civilian.

The situation mimics what a firefighter might go through if entering a building to help a colleague who has a low air supply

or a physical injury. The exercise asked firefighters to locate the body and “package” it properly, so it could be moved safely to the door. This could involve attaching a new air bottle to ensure the downed firefighter has a fresh air supply.

Whiten acknowledged that firefighters hope to never have to act on this training. But he feels confident Belleville’s team can handle such a situation if it ever has to do.

“It was a fantastic exercise,” he said.

Cultural centre faces challenging effort

By Jack Evans

News – Belleville - Having a dream is one thing; selling it is something else.

Belleville resident Tanya Baldwin is learning that the hard way after she undertook to spearhead a major cultural development in the heart of downtown Belleville. Tentatively, it’s called Memorial Regional Collective Centre for Cultural Innovations. It’s a big

handle, but it is an even bigger sell, Baldwin admits. It is a challenge she created on her own and she is enjoying it. The title recognizes the heritage of the former Memorial Arena, she noted.

The project takes in the former Memorial Arena, plus the adjoining former Legion Hall and Recreation Centre. As a concept at this point, nothing is cast in stone in terms of what

can and should be accommodated. For openers, it could include art and artistic boutiques and galleries, seminar and performance spaces and display areas, plus retail outlets for local crafts and produce. Even the name itself could be changed as the project solidifies.

Fortunately, Baldwin is not alone. She has an advisory committee backing her up comprising professionals and educators

from a wide representation of the community under “Centre for Cultural Innovation.”

So far, she has been focussing on collecting data of similar projects elsewhere, surveys of local residents and indications of interest and support. It turns out the support is surprisingly strong for such a major project. One man, commenting on the use of tax dollars, said, “I have no problem with my tax dollars going for such a worthwhile project.” Her most recent online survey shows 92 per cent of Belleville and area residents support the concept.

Only two per cent said “no” and about six per cent were undecided.

While heavy costs may be involved, organized as a community infrastructure effort allows the city to tap into funding it could not otherwise access.

This, too, is something Baldwin has been researching. She found that one similar project obtained $2 million in funding from a major charity foundation as one example. “I know of many other sources of funding,” she said.

She has pitched the idea so far to the Mayor’s Implementation Committee but with no formal commitment so far. She has another meeting with city officials within the next few days.

She sees the potential of involving Chamber of Commerce and Tourism agencies, downtown business association board, arts groups and artisans.

Such a huge complex would create an attraction to merit an increase in tourism and also new residents and entrepreneurs.

“The key thing here is not bricks and mortar,” she said, “but community involvement and benefits, culturally and economically,” she stressed.

She also reminded that the concept fits in with the latest long range cultural master plan shared by Belleville, Quinte West and Hastings

County which affirms there is “need for a centre.”

Area residents can monitor her progress and make comments on the website: <memorial regionalcollective.com>, or email: memorialregionalcollective@ gmail.com.

Meanwhile, Baldwin remains involved in a challenging political and education struggle to sell the idea to the entire community and its leaders.

The Celebrity Judgesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; choice went to Earl and Angeloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, for its ďŹ sh tacos.

Honourable mention went to Sweet Escape for its Raspberry Cloud Lime dessert.

The winner of the Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice award was Gourmet Diem, for its refreshing vanilla gelato, which gave everyone a nice break from the hot weather.

The car show, DBIA staff say, was a very successful attraction as people of all ages

enjoyed looking at the antique cars. It came together with the help of organizers of the A&W Cruise Night.

Multiple businesses also participated in making donations for the door prizes, which ranged from gift certiďŹ cates and vouchers to bouquets and jewellery.

Farmtown Park serves up strawberries News - Stirling â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Volunteers at Farmtown Park celebrated the first day of summer with the annual Strawberry Social, offering live music, refreshments and plenty of nostalgia for dozens of visitors.

A sunny Sunday provided the backdrop for the annual gathering that this year featured music by The Reasons, a trip outside the garage for the Odessa Mater and access to the agricultural museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing collection of displays, interactive games and exhibits.

Museum President Harry Danford, who was among the many volunteers making visitors feel at home, says the changes and improvements are continuing at Farmtown Park and many popular events are scheduled to return this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to keep changing things or people have no reason to come back,â&#x20AC;? he says, noting one of the biggest changes this year is the moving and reopening of Whiteheadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Heritage Village. Formerly a closed display, the recreated soda shop is a tribute to the well-known gathering place for generations of Stirling residents, and now has seating available with plans to offer some of the favorite menu items.

Belleville student receives environmental scholarship

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Quinte Waste Solutions (QWS) awarded its eighth environmental scholarship in the amount of $720 to Ben Hewitt from Moira Secondary School at its June Board of Directors meeting in Prince Edward County.

The Robert Argue Environmental Scholarship was established in

2001 after the Centre and South Hastings Waste Services Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenth anniversary celebrations, which received considerable donations during the event to setup the scholarship. Since that time, the scholarship has awarded over $4,000 to seven students pursuing environmental education.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ben submitted a very strong application this year. Good grades, great volunteer experience and a deep connection to the planet proved Ben to be a ďŹ ne choice for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s award,â&#x20AC;? mentioned Daniel Orr, Communications Coordinator for QWS. Ben has been a member of Scoutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canada since he was

ďŹ ve years old. His volunteer experience ranges from planting trees and installing duck nesting boxes, to participating in the Moira River Cleanup and Quinte Trash Bash. In school, Ben has taken courses in Environment and Resource Management, been a part of the successful Geo Venture Program, and has also

been a mentor and peer tutor to younger students. This fall, Ben will be attending the School of Environmental and Natural Resource Sciences at Sir Sandford Fleming College in Lindsay, Ont. where he will further his passion and knowledge of the natural world. Students interested in learning more about the Robert Argue Environmental Scholarship can visit <quinterecycling.org> or call 613394-6266. Quinte Waste Solutions is the operating name of the Centre & South Hastings Waste Services Board. Established in 1990, Quinte Waste Solutions provides curb-side recycling, commercial recy-

cling, and household hazardous and electronic waste collection for the nine municipal partners that make up the board.

The Robert Argue Scholarship Award was founded in honour of Bob Argue, the chief architect behind the creation of the recycling and waste reduction program that currently serves the Centre & South Hastings area, including Prince Edward County. The primary aim of the scholarship is to encourage environmental activism and innovation, and to make possible the participation in an environmental endeavor for one deserving recipient.

Fresh For All campaign encourages donations of produce

CONGRATULATIONS RON WHYTE

By Stephen Petrick

R0013339822

This month we celebrate your passion to grow, achieve, and to inspire. We knew we made the right choice 5 years ago when we invited you to join our team, and today we thank you for choosing us. You are the essential ingredient that makes our family flourish and thrive. We are enriched by you and we are looking forward to continued success together.

particularly encouraging donations of fruits and vegetables grown from local gardens.

It’s easy for anyone who gardens to grow more food than they can consume, so the group hopes gardeners this summer will donate their extra produce, especially because healthy food is always in high demand at food organizations.

“Share is the key word,” said Ruth Ingersoll, the Community Development Council of Quinte executive director, who co-chairs Fresh For All with Steve van de Hoef. “We’re trying to keep it simple.”

Ingersoll spoke with excitement about the new group, as it represents a coming together of several social organizations and private businesses. “Fresh For All’s branding and website was taken on by my local digital marketing company “They”, at no cost. Connon Nurseries is another business supporting the project,” Ingersoll said.

Fresh for All is also now being funded by the United Way of Quinte. The Ministry of Children and Youth Services is another key player in the campaign.

(From left) The United Way’s Brandi Hodge, “They” founder Shawn Patriquin and Fresh For All Co-Chairs Ruth Ingersoll and Steve van de Hoef were among those who gathered under a newly installed billboard along North Front Street on Wednesday, June 17. A billboard was unveiled to reveal the new group Fresh For All, which is encouraging people to donate produce to local food organizations Continued on page 22 this summer. Photo: Stephen Petrick

News - Belleville - If you can grow an extra row in your garden, please do so and donate your produce to a community food provider.

That’s the message from a new organization called Fresh For All, formed to address the fact that the Hastings-Prince Edward region has the second highest level of food insecurity in the province, meaning thousands here don’t always earn enough money to pay for healthy meals.

Members of the Fresh For All committee gathered on Wednesday, June 17 under a billboard they had installed on North Front Street. It represents the group’s first attempt to publicize its work and its website, <www.freshforall.ca>.

The group encourages people to visit the site to learn about a number of community organizations that accept donations of food to give to clients in need. The list includes several food banks and churches that have food programs.

Although Fresh For All is encouraging Quinte area residents to donate any type of food to a worthwhile organization, they’re

Ticks a topic for Quinte woodlot members

Field tests, done by dragging flannel sheets over a 50 foot distance by technicians dressed in special suits, found the highest concentration in Prince Edward County, Quinte West and Trenton, though not all tested positive as carriers of Lyme disease.

Specimens were also found in Bancroft, Belleville, Centre Hastings, Stirling-Rawdon, Tyendinaga and Deseronto, Tweed and, two in Bannockburn.

Infestations and cases of Lyme infection has increased since 2008 peaking in 2013 with a slight drop last year.

Sookoo says one can still enjoy the outdoors, “but, they must be watchful, protect themselves and do not be complacent...” Blacklegged ticks can easily be transported by Public health inspector Aptie Sookoo cautioned members of the Quinte birds and drop off anywhere. “No

News - Moira - The Quinte Woodlot Association held an open meeting at Moira Hall in Centre Hastings, June 20, on the issues of tick infestation in Hastings and Prince Edward counties.

President Kevin Durkin introduced Public Health

Inspector Aptie Sookoo, who addressed the increased presence of blacklegged ticks, commonly called deer ticks, and the potential of contracting Lyme disease from a bite.

“This species of tick is showing up in locations we have never seen them be in before,” Sookoo said.

Ingersoll said the billboard on Front Street will be up for about a month, and after that the group plans on continuing advertising through other methods. Members of the committee, who meet regularly, hope it will become a long-term project that becomes ingrained into the community.

Brandi Hodge, the Director of Community Engagement for the United Way of Quinte, was also at the billboard site on Wednesday.

She said she’s excited about Fresh for All because if the troubling rate of food insecurity can be addressed, she believes a whole scope of other problems will be too. She said when

First stage symptoms of Lyme infection occur within one to two weeks or as soon as three days and as long as a month after a bite. Fever, headache, muscle and joint pains, fatigue and a skin rash, especially one that looks like a “red bull’s eye” are signs of infection.

One should seek medical advice immediately.

Not all patients with Lyme disease develop the bull’s eye rash.

Sookoo notes, “If you’ve been bitten by a tick, see a doctor, and, if you can bring the tick, all the better.”

For further information on the blacklegged tick, Lyme disease, prevention and treatment contact your doctor or local health unit.

The back of the neck, armpits and groin areas, are usual places ticks attach. Often they take a few hours to find a place, so he suggests removing clothing, tumbling it in a hot dryer, and taking a hot shower after an outdoor jaunt.

If a tick is attached, removing it with fine tweezers close to the skin by the head, pulling straight up, is important to avoid rupturing the abdomen and spreading its body fluids. It is estimated it takes 24 hours until the Lyme fluids begin to enter a host. A tick can feed for days then falls off.

Once removed the person should seal the tick in a secure container, wash the area, apply alcohol and see a doctor immediately. The doctor is

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Belleville â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Wheels are in motion for Belleville to become an even more bicycle friendly city.

That was evident on Saturday, June 20 when a group of cyclists, including four members of city council, took a bike tour of the city en route to Riverside Park for a Bike Rodeo event, run by several community groups.

With help from volunteers, participants could get their bikes tuned up and helmets ďŹ tted properly. Belleville Police were also there to offer safety tips.

Among the ďŹ rst to cycle into the event were Mayor Taso Christopher and councillors Egerton Boyce, Mitch Panciuk and Paul Carr.

In an interview following their ride, Christopher and Boyce spoke about how proud they are that Belleville is taking steps to promote cycling.

Christopher said that the biggest sign of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s willingness to be more cycle friendly is the recent approval of a draft of the Transportation Master Plan, which outlines steps this and future councils can take to move forward with cycling initiatives.

He said the plan sets a guideline for the city to follow over the next 20 to 30 years and it could involve anywhere from $40 to $60 million in spending.

That money wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just be for the sake of cycling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to make vehicle trafďŹ c more friendly, we want to make pedestrian trafďŹ c more friendly and we want to make biking trafďŹ c more friendly,â&#x20AC;?

Christopher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big plan, but we have big plans for the municipality.â&#x20AC;?

Boyce said the Transportation Master Plan identiďŹ es many small, and relatively inexpensive, things that can be done to make it easier for people to get around, in whatever mode they choose. That could involve more road cuts or signage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not every street will have bike lanes, but the city, under councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership, has looked at connecting links between the trails and the roads,â&#x20AC;? Boyce said.

One such link already being planned is a path that would connect downtown Belleville with Loyalist College in the far west end. In August 2014, just prior to the election, the former council approved $2.8 million for this project, which ties in with the redevelopment of Yeomans Street, one of the Build Belleville infrastructure projects. Bikes lanes are being added to this street, Boyce pointed out, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an important north-south connecting street.

He added that bike lanes are expected to be added soon on Herchimer Street, so they can link with the waterfront trail.

When asked why cycling initiatives are so important, Christopher answered without hesitation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healthier communities, healthier lifestyles, â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all linked together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily have to be a biking community; you can be a community of bridges or walking trails, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still making the effort to be a healthier community.â&#x20AC;?

Genealogical Society celebrates 35 years of helping people trace their ancestral roots

By Terry McNamee

News - Quinte West - Thirty-five years of researching more than 200 years of local history was celebrated Saturday, June 20, as the Quinte Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society met at Quinte West Council chambers.

A highlight of the event was the unveiling of the first of what will be a set of DVDs for The Marmora Project.

The DVDs contain historical records from the Belanger Collection, which includes more than 200 years of cemetery records, obituaries and other material gleaned from a variety of sources

by Gerald Belanger.

A resident of Marmora, Belanger has spent decades pouring over old newspapers, archives, cemetery maps and other written material and examining grave markers to document the lives of the people who lived and died in Marmora and central Hastings County. Over the years, his collection of photocopies and notes, mostly of area obituaries, ended up filling 32 three-ring binders.

“I started feeling like a paper dinosaur, as the worlds and most organizations were going paperless and computerized,” Belanger said. He knew that somehow this mountain of research needed to be computerized.

24 Belleville News - Thursday, June 25, 2015

“However, I had neither the time nor the skills necessary to carry out this massive project,” he said.

A chance meeting with Larry McQuoid from the Quinte Branch of the OGS in 2013 resulted in a collaboration that is putting all of this information onto DVDs, the first of which was released Saturday.

This first DVD contains 7,425 pages and approximately 20,000 indexed entries. This single DVD includes the names of about 100,000 people mentioned in obituaries from Marmora and area.

McQuoid said that computerizing and scanning all this information has been an enormous undertaking.

“Volume One is the largest private collection Quinte has received,” he said. “This (DVD) was the work of many people.” He said work is progressing now on Volume Two of this enormous collection.

Quinte Branch chairman John Carew said that many of the obituaries include extensive information about the family of the person who passed away.

“There are some (obituaries) where it seemed like every member of the family was identified,” Carew said. “In some cases, you would find an entire genealogy in one piece of paper.”

specifically for the local genealogical branch since 2006.

Carew gave those in attendance a brief history of the Quinte Genealogical Society, which had its beginnings in Bloomfield. It began with 26 charter

members who attended that first meeting in 1980, and has had more than 2,600 members over the years.

“The Bay of Quinte has a very rich heritage on which to base (genealogical) research,” he said.

Speakers shed light on the plight of refugees News – Belleville – St. Thomas Anglican Church recognized Saturday, June 20 as World Refugee Day and three special guests were invited to the church on the day to share stories about the refugee experience.

The event was organized by the Quinte Interfaith Refugee Sponsorship Committee (QIRSC), which has sponsored families from Bosnia, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Democratic Republic of Congo and Colombia and is now looking to sponsor another family with children.

The topic of Saturday’s event was “From Origins to Integration: Refugee Journeys to Canada.”

Caitlin Barratt, a settlement counsellor, a previous QIRSC member and former legal advocate with St. Andrew’s refugee services in Cairo, Egypt, was the first one to speak. She described the situation of refugees arriving in Egypt. People are coming from Sudan, Eritrea, Somalia, Iraq and Syria, fleeing war and persecution in their homelands. For most of these people, Egypt is not their ultimate goal, she said. Many want to move on to Europe, North America and other places with larger diaspora communities. She believes the Egyptian government views refugees as temporary and their presence in Egypt is merely tolerated. The refugees suffer discrimination and hardship and lack

of opportunity.

Another speaker, Claudia Delgado, arrived in Canada a few years ago from Colombia. She said that learning a new language is the most difficult part of being in a new country, as well as missing family.

She said it was difficult for her family to give up good jobs in Colombia in exchange for safety, but it was a decision they felt compelled to make.

Both Claudia and her husband took jobs like cleaning, delivering or working in a bakery. Claudia thought it was worth it for the sake of her children. One of her sons is now in university and the other one is starting this fall. Her husband had a more difficult time adjusting and eventually found a job in New York.

The third speaker was Francisco Rico-Martinez, co-director of the FCJ refugee centre in Toronto. He came to Canada as a refugee from El Salvador in the late 1980s. As a young lawyer and human rights activist, he had the opportunity to meet Archbishop Oscar Romero, who was recently canonized by the Catholic Church Due to his human rights activism, Francisco’s life was threatened on two occasions. Eventually, the Canadian government helped him, his pregnant wife and two sons to come to Canada

and he arrived in 1990.

As director of the FCJ Refugee Centre, Francisco manages four refugee houses. He stated that no refugees are turned away by the organization. They deal with people from 110 different countries, including those without legal status.

(From left) Caitlin Barratt, Claudia Delgado and Francisco Rico-Martinez were speakers at a World Refugee Day event hosted by Francisco expressed his frus- the St. Thomas Anglican Church and the Quinte Interfaith Refugee Sponsorship Committee on Saturday, June 20. tration at the seeming unwillingness of the current federal government to assist refugees.

He contrasted the current situation with Canada’s generous response to refugees fleeing conflict in Vietnam, Central America and Bosnia. Francisco added if there is fear for terrorists, why not let orphans and widows with children in the country. He also mentioned the displaced people and poverty as a result of environmental disasters caused by of Canadian mining companies.

According to the UNHCR (the United Nations High Commission for Refugees), there are 60 million refugees and displaced people in the world. That is the highest number ever recorded.

According to Francisco, Canada should be doing far more to help.

June rainfall surprises conservation authority

With an unusual lack of rain-

GreenTerraHomes opens in Quinte West

By Joyce Cassin

News - Quinte West - There’s a new manufacturing plant open in Trenton that makes prefabricated, modular, and mobile homes, as well as garages, sheds, and barns.

Gerald O’Brien, vice-president of sales, says that customers can bring in a house plan and they can construct a kit for the do-it-yourselfers, or they can build and transport the modules anywhere in Canada.

The facility, located at 10 Douglas Road, produces steel

trusses, studs, track, siding, roofing, and trim products. As well, they offer custom steel framing and fabrication for all types of homes, from Tiny Homes to fivebedroom homes.

“The facility is Canada’s only CSA-A66-certified steel prefab, modular, mobile home factory,” he said, adding that they go well beyond Building Code standards.

He said there is R-30 in the walls, and R-60 in the attics, and the floors are so well-insulated, they don’t require a foundation.

They can be raised.

O’Brien said that many people will buy the smaller homes to use as cottage rentals in place of the typical wood structures. And they’re transportable if they need to be moved.

For a typical two-bedroom home, the cost is about $69,000 and increases to $180,000 for a five-bedroom home.

There’s a “wet” module that contains the plumbing and wiring for the kitchen and baths which is hook-up ready to outside services. The other modules Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison, council and staff welcomes GreenTerraHomes to Trenton. Photo: Joyce Cassin

are added as requested for bedrooms, etc..

“The new facility will offer a solution to the homebuyer looking for a beautiful home that also reflects their desire to lessen their environmental impact and protect their health without having to go beyond their financial means,” O’Brien said.

And the majority of the steel comes from recycled cars.

“Forty trees to frame a standard conventional house as opposed to six recycled cars,” said

Glenn Kozak, executive director of Trenval Business Development Corporation. “This is the best in class, probably nationwide, success story, and in a year from now, this country’s going to be on the map ... for innovation, productivity, and for sales growth.”

The largest problem they have right now is a work force, he said.

They currently have 20 workers and intend to hire up to 140 within the next few years, so

they’re working with Loyalist College to ensure the training required is available to students wishing to be employed at their facility.

Working with Trenval, Quinte Economic Development Commission, Business Development Bank of Canada and Loyalist College is what brought owners Holly Khani and Max Broojeed to the Bay of Quinte Area, added O’Brien.

Relay draws hundreds to Stirling Fairgrounds

By Richard Turtle

News - Stirling - Participants, volunteers, local dignitaries and supporters arrived at the Stirling Fairgrounds last weekend to mark the launch of the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.

The annual fundraiser, previously held in Belleville and Quinte West, changed venues this year with a combined ‘Super Relay’ becoming the area’s 15th campaign to raise awareness and offer support to research programs as well as cancer patients, survivors and their families. Relay for Life Chair Christine McArthur, along with other officials, addressed the crowd from the Paula Grills Memorial Amphitheatre Saturday and offered “something a little special” for the 15th anniversary. The day-long event featured a flyover to mark its beginning with live music and games, head shaving and haircutting, Cancer survivors take the first steps of the 15th annual Quinte/Hastings Relay For Life last weekend before hundreds of other Elaine Devries and Jackie Jarrell finish their Road to Relay run at the front and several theme laps for the hundreds participants took to the track in support of the Canadian Cancer Society. of participants who took to the track to of the pack, marking the beginning of last weekend’s Relay For Life. show their support.

are affected by high water levels,” he said.

Most of the business was reports from various staff members which were approved by the board, clearing the slate of meetings for the summer. They included a report on risk management, plan review, budget controls and hydro report. The board learned that the agency’s hydro generating dam in Belleville is again producing power and profit with renewed rainfall and flows.

A new federal funding program might allow enhanced flood control measures in the watershed so applications will be prepared, especially in the Foxboro area to prevent

future flood damage, the aim of the program.

Some questions were raised about allowing hunters to lease sections of authority lands for a few weeks during deer hunting season, especially concerning liability.

Terry Murphy said the agency had checked its policy out carefully with lawyers and deemed it better to have properly controlled leases than no controls at all.

Staffer Maya Navrot reported on the authority’s expanded program of summer camps and education programs for young people for the coming summer, using summer students.

The board’s next scheduled meeting is Sept. 17.

porters are invited to participate in the tournament.

Money raised from the tournament has assisted students and families facing crisis situations.

Jacquie Waller, Child and Youth Counsellor at Moira Secondary School, says, “The impact of the Student Emergency Fund is far reaching and it’s great to know that in an emergency, there is support out there for our neediest of students.

“Many students suffer in silence and don’t always ask for help. Even when they feel comfortable asking for help, they often don’t know where to turn for assistance. The Fund has proven invaluable to me by helping to remove barriers that many of us don’t always realize exist for some families.”

Waller added that she was able to help a young mom access baby clothes, diapers and other basic needs through the fund. Another of her students was able to play sports through the Student Emergency Fund, and another students told her “she felt a huge weight had been lifted from her shoulders after receiving support for emergency groceries. She felt she could focus better at school knowing that her and her family would have food in their cupboards.”

This year there have been 371 requests to the Student Emergency Fund and al-

most $47,000 granted to support children and youth. The majority of these requests for student care are to purchase food and clothing.

For more information on how to participate in the tournament call Maribeth deSnoo, at The Learning Foundation, 613-966-1170 ext. 2205. If you’d like to make a dona-

Wet sleds – Watercross comes to Stoco

By Brett Mann

Sports - Stoco - Blue clouds of snowmobile exhaust and the un-muffled scream of two-stroke engines signalled the first Ontario Watercross Race on Stoco Lake last weekend. Seventy-six racers competed in a variety of classes on a sunny summer day at Trudeau’s Park. The race involves running pretty much standard snowmobiles around a water track about five hundred feet in diameter and getting the machines safely back to dry land.

As three or four racers revved their motors on the beach and leapt out onto the water about two hundred spectators watched from the bleachers. It appeared that one machine out of each heat slipped beneath the surface and had to be towed back to shore as their riders treaded water.

“We’re the only company in Ontario and there’s another small circuit in Quebec,” says Kelly Hall, race organizer and owner, with her husband Jason Bidan of Port Sydney-based Ontario Watercross Racing. “Some of the racers will be racing in upwards of three classes. We have an open amateur class, a semi-pro with 600cc machines and under, or an 800cc class. We’re also doing a women’s class, an open amateur.”

The company runs four races per year and today at Trudeau’s Park is the season opener. Other races this season are scheduled for Midland, Penetanguishene and Gravenhurst. “We’ll also be doing demonstrations at the TORC boat races at Gull Lake and two demonstrations on July 1at Port Sydney and Bracebridge,” says Ms. Hall who has become a racer herself this year. She points out that the sport originated in the US about 35 years ago.

The modifications to machines for watercross racing are not particularly extensive, but there’s a lot of tech.”

No flotation modifications are allowed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;from there itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty much gearing and clutching,â&#x20AC;? notes Hall. She reports that a â&#x20AC;&#x153;few of the prosâ&#x20AC;? help out as volunteers for the race and that today racers have come from as far away as New York State.

Given that snowmobiles were not designed (intentionally) to fly across the surface of a lake it is not surprising that not all of them make it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very frequent to have to have machines hauled out,â&#x20AC;? says Hall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We lose one on every four-person heat.â&#x20AC;?

These machines are â&#x20AC;&#x153;mostlyâ&#x20AC;? dedicated to racing and their owners will have regular sleds for winter snowmobiling. Racing rules require the use of bio-degradable chaincase oil, closed loop cooling systems and one-way venting valves on fuel tanks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The course is 325 feet long and 500 feet across and the race is done within four or five minutes,â&#x20AC;? Hall explains. Cash prizes, sponsor prizes and certificates of participation are offered.

This weekend is the first such competition in the area and Ms. Hall is impressed with Stoco Lake and surroundings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trudeauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park is fantastic. We want to thank them and two other sponsors, Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coach

Barrel racing show in Warkworth will feature ‘the best of the best’

By John Campbell

Sports - Warkworth - The National Barrel Horse Association (NBHA), the largest barrel racing organization in the world, and the Ontario Barrel Racing Association (OBRA) are joining forces for this year’s Warkworth Western Weekend.

“It’s a big deal, we’re pretty excited to get them here,” says Tina Spooner, organizer of the two-day event that will take place July 4-5 at the Warkworth Fairgrounds, with Percy Agricultural Society serving as the host.

They “combined some shows together to make it a big show.”

Entrants will be coming from across Ontario and Quebec, as well as the United States.

“They’re the best of the best,” Spooner said, and local riders will get a chance to compete against them.

There are different classes, based on age, experience and performance, and some of those scheduled will offer up points that riders try accumulate over the course of a season in a bid to capture top spot in the NBHA/OBRA circuit.

Spooner’s daughter, Amy Newman, 13, did that last year in her division and qualified for the NBHA Youth World Championships that will be held July 19-25 in Perry, Georgia.

Admission to Warkworth Western Weekend is once again free, but there will be a charge to attend

PYNX’s Country Video Dance Saturday night in the arena, $15 at the door or $10 in advance.

New this year, are youth versions of the big screen dance, which will run from 5 to 6:45 p.m. for youngsters 12 and under, and from 7 to 9 p.m. for teens 13 to 18. The tickets are $5 in advance or $7 at the door.

All tickets can be purchased before the event at Newman Insurance & Styles by Tanya in Campbellford, Captain’s Table and Home Hardware in Hastings, and Teri and Co Salon & Spa, and Warkworth Farm Supply in Warkworth.

The fair board will also hold a barbecue both days of the event as a fundraiser.

Beef workshop at Norwood Fairgrounds

Buy and sell in your neighbourhood.

Events - Norwood - Five Beef Associations are partnering to provide an afternoon of valuable industry information and delicious Canadian beef at the Norwood Fairgrounds on June 27.

The event kicks off at 1:30 p.m. with a workshop sponsored by the Ontario Hereford Association. Lance Leachman, a fourth generation Saskatchewan rancher, will speak on beef cattle selection, breeding principles and genetic change.

Leachman has judged cattle at

the World Beef Expo, Canadian Western Agribition, the Canadian National Hereford Show and the CJHA Bonanza.

“You will not want to miss this event. Lance is an entertaining and highly knowledgeable speaker,” says Dave Cavanagh, Director of the Ontario Hereford Association. “(Leachman) brings a lifetime of experience and a Masters of Science in Animal Breeding and Genetics to bear on successful cattle breeding.”

Following the workshop, guests

are invited to a barbecue sponsored by the Northumberland, Peterborough and Victoria County Cattlemen’s Associations and the Beef Farmers of Hastings County. The barbecue starts at 6 p.m.

Cavanagh says the event will be of interest to cattle industry enthusiasts such as 4-H Club members and commercial and purebred cattle breeders.

For more information or if you wish to attend contact Cavanagh at 705-740-5212 or at <homestead_herefords@msn.com>.

A visit to the world’s largest operating salt mine

Lifestyle – My wife and I recently spent a couple of days in the picturesque town of Goderich, which is located in western Ontario, north of Grand Bend and south of Kincardine on the shore of Lake Huron. We were drawn to this destination by its having the world’s largest operating salt mine.

We soon found that it was, indeed, quite a sight to simply view the humungous surface storage silos and the blue elevator shafts that decorate much of Goderich’s harbour area. However, we didn’t find any mounds of salt, for the operation actually occurs far underground, at a depth of about 1800 feet, and the Sifto Canada mine, which is now a part of the American-owned Compass Minerals Company, apparently extends for more than two miles into Lake Huron and averages a width of more than a mile. To put this into perspective, the salt mine is about as deep as the CN Tower is high, and massive trucks carry the blasted rock salt through a series of large underground tunnels into crushing and screening operations before it’s then hoisted to the surface via customized skiffs.

I hoped to get an up close and personal guided underground tour of the operation, but that was not to be. In fact, there are no tours available to the public, for the work continues nonstop, 24 hours every day, except when the lake freezes and shipments by the massive freighters become impossible.

There’s, of course, a real concern with work stoppages and with liability, so the Compass Mineral Company doesn’t seem very anxious to get into the touring business.

I talked with James Cox, Goderich’s Economic Development/Tourism Coordinator, and with tourism board member Kim Burgsma, and both agreed that even more should be done to celebrate the town’s renowned salt mine, and there are plans to initiate a “Salt Festival” in the future. There’s already a small piece of rock salt available as a memento, and it’s attached to a piece of cardboard that explains the importance of the salt mine to the community, for this mine produces “more than 45 per cent of all the rock salt mined in Canada”. I even suggested that they might also consider having some kind of salt statue, just as Sudbury has its well-known “Big Nickel” statue to recognize its nickel mining.

I learned that Goderich’s salt was actually discovered purely by accident, for a local flour mill owner, Sam Platt, had begun to drill for oil in 1866, and what he actually found instead was an immense salt bed, North America’s first recorded one. Once the word got out, there was a salt rush in this area, and by 1867 there were 12 independent salt wells that dotted the Maitland River Valley. It was the late 1950s before Sifto Canada completed the construction of its first deep mineshaft

in Goderich, and others have been added here since. This gigantic mining operation is now the area’s major employer, and it’s estimated that about 23,000 tons of salt are produced here every day. Our area gets its road salt from this mine. Other items, including table salt, animal salt licks, water softener salt, and salt swimming pool sanitizers are all produced here, too (the impurities found in the coarser road salt are removed in the company’s large evaporators that are also located in Goderich).

I found that I had a great view of the salt mining operation and the harbour area of Goderich when I walked along the town’s Tiger Dunlop Heritage Trail (this trail is named after the town’s founder) and crossed the Menesetung Walking Bridge. I also found other great views along Goderich’s waterfront and in Lighthouse Park.

As we drove around the town that’s often referred to as “the prettiest town in Canada”, we soon discovered that there was much more to see here than just its mammoth salt mine. The downtown area is dominated by an octagonal traffic circle that’s referred to as “The Square” which, you may recall was severely damaged by a tornado in 2011, and its “spokes” will lead you through much of Goderich.

We enjoyed the fact that the downtown parking was plentiful and free, and there’s a great variety of shops and restaurants. We were pleasantly surprised by our dining experiences at both West Street Willy’s at 42 West St. on the way to the beach and at “Thyme on 21” at 80 Hamilton St. across from the Visitors’ Centre.

We stayed at a beautiful boutique

Goderich’s Menesetung Walking Bridge on the Tiger Dunlop Heritage Trail.

hotel, Samuels Hotel, which was located just across the Maitland River in Saltford, and we certainly took the time to check out some of Goderich’s other major points of interest, too, including its Livery Theatre (a big stage theatre in a small town setting), Marine Museum (on the Goderich Harbour), Huron Historic Gaol (where prisoners such as James Donnelly and Steven Truscott were incarcerated), and the Huron County Museum, where informative exhibits depict the early settlement and development of this area. We also enjoyed participating in the traditional sunset viewing by the

lake, for this is a very popular activity here. We soon discovered that we could view a double sunset by taking a photo of the sunset along the shore of Lake Huron and then quickly ascending the staircase (with its more than 200 steps) found at the southern end

of the waterfront roadway near Lioness Park to get yet another great sunset view from this much higher lookout point. It’s quite an experience!

Hadfield to officially open Hastings Field House July 3

By John Campbell

News - Hastings – Chris Hadfield, the Canadian astronaut who become an international icon while serving as commander of the International Space Station, will speak at the official opening of the Hastings Field House July 3.

“I’m really looking forward” to being part of the ceremony, “knowing what it means to the community” to have a new recreational facility, Hadfield said in a telephone interview from Alberta.

“I’ll have a long question and answer period as part of the presentation [and], hopefully, we’ll have a chance to meet as many people as possible.”

He’ll also perform a song with 10 local schoolchildren.

Hadfield agreed to be the guest of honour after being approached by Campbellford-Seymour Community Foundation executive director Martha Murphy who heard him speak at a Community Foundations of Canada confer-

ence in Calgary in early May. “We are so fortunate to have such a high profile speaker at the opening,” Trent Hills community development officer Lynn Phillips said. He’s “the perfect speaker to ‘launch’ the new Hastings Field House.”

The event and his “inspirational words will promote both this facility as well as the community vision for further recreation facility initiatives.”

The field house “is the first completed project in the [municipality’s] recreation redevelopment plans and it is important that the momentum continues,” she said.

Admission is “pay what you can at the door” but with attendance limited to about 2,000, “we are encouraging people to preregister” at <www.trenthills. ca> or <http://flourishcampaign.ca>, Phillips said.

Attendees are advised to bring folding lawn chairs but 200 reserved seats

are available for $125 apiece. The price includes a signed copy of Hadfield’s An Astronaut’s Guide to Life as well as a photo op and a chance to have the book “personalized” by Hadfield.

Copies of his book will also be available for purchase.

The event starts at 7 p.m but Phillips recommended arriving well before then to find a parking spot and to check out the new facility, which is now expected to open for public use sometime in August.

Information will be provided on its services and fees.

Chris Hadfield became an international icon in 2013 when he used social media awhile aboard the International Space Station to connect to people on Earth. The first Canadian to command a space station, the retired astronaut keeps busy in a variety of ways. He will be the guest of honour for the official opening of the Hastings Field House July 3.

Former astronaut says space flight has him ‘optimistic’ about Earth’s future music, show photos of Earth, and talk about life in a space station that caused his popularity to soar.

His experiences led him to write two books that made the New York Times bestsellers list. The first one, An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth, is now being turned into a pilot for a television show by Warner Brothers in Hollywood, he said.

Now a part-time professor at the University of Waterloo as well as a member of Canada’s newly formed Space Advisory

News - Hastings - Since retiring from the Canadian Astronaut Corps in July 2013, Chris Hadfield has continued to circumnavigate the globe, albeit at a pace and elevation nowhere near that when he spent 144 days aboard the International Space Station.

He completed more than 2,300 orbits around the planet and travelled almost 100 million kilometres. But it was his using social media to play

Board, Hadfield, 55, travels the world on one-man speaking tours. He’s also working on various documentaries as well as doing a YouTube series on the history of science.

Hadfield, whose rendition of David Bowie’s Space Oddity has been viewed more than 25 million times on YouTube, has performed with the Windsor Symphony Orchestra and has a concert lined up with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.

An album of music he recorded on the space station is due to be released in early fall.

“I want to stay useful and productive,” Hadfield said in an interview to promote his talk at the official opening of the Hastings Field House July 3. “I enjoy what I’m up to.”

But as busy as it sounds, it’s nowhere near as busy as when he was an astronaut for 21 years.

“Most people don’t know how hard astronauts work, it’s relentless,” he said – seven days a week for decades, “working long hours. It’s just an immense amount of work to be able competently do the things astronauts are asked to do.”

Hadfield said he was “extremely lucky to have been asked to do many things,” such as be Canada’s first space walker. To have that event commemorated on the back of the five-dollar bill “is surreal.”

And to be the first Canadian to command a spaceship was “a huge ... responsibility but also a tremendous honour and thrill,” he said.

The “realization of dreams,” which turned out to be “more difficult and infinitely more delightful than expected ... may be the most memorable part” of his having been an astronaut.

Hadfield said “space flight has almost always been commercial,” but only now is it beginning to be “privatized” with wealthy citizens having the opportunity to go where only astronauts went before at government

expense.

“I’m all for it,” he said. “It’s a natural progression” that’s been followed “in many other industries,” in which government does the initial research and development work and then turns it over to private enterprise when it becomes commercially viable.

That will open the door to more people experiencing what he did, which he welcomes.

“To go around the world that many times makes me optimistic and gives me a better sense of patience and perspective,” Hadfield said.

“It’s easier to be myopic” when you’re land bound, and think that your “little square of the world is ... the only part that matters,” and you “tend to judge everything” based on a “particular set of cultural beliefs.”

But when viewed from high above the Earth “the sacrosanct nature of life” is apparent and what divides people “disappears because it’s a completely artificial, self-generated barrier,” Hadfield said.

A lot of what he is doing now is his “best attempt to express that,” to change people’s thinking and have them adopt a “global view.”

To see the world “for what it truly is, I consider it a responsibility ... to do my best to let people perhaps see things a little more clearly through my eyes,” he said.

Do you have an opinion you’d like to share?

Percy student looking to become teen world champion barrel racer Sports - Warkworth – Just 13 years old, Amy Newman has a chance to make local history: be an international champion barrel racer.

She gave herself the opportunity by piling up firsts and seconds on the National Barrel Horse Association (NBHA) tour last season, which qualified her for the World Youth Championships that will take place July 19-25 at Perry, Georgia.

She’s been racing since age five, and years of competition and constant practice have turned her into an extremely good racer.

It also helped to have a rodeo veteran, Krista Heffernan, be her mentor and a good partner in Chiclet Belly Stopping

Daisy, a quarter horse who’s “a brat” but also “very competitive.

“I probably wouldn’t be as good as a rider and Chiclet be the horse she is,” without Heffernan, Newman said.

The good working relationship she has with her mount was put in peril last winter when Chiclet took ill with the strangles, an infection that constricts a horse’s airways, but she recovered and appears to be her old self.

The Grade 8 Percy Centennial Public School student was “really nervous” for their first show in 2015, but Newman “was surprised how well she came back from being sick. She was running top time. I was happy.”

She wasn’t so happy soon after acquiring Chiclet three years ago. “She

went crazy,” Newman said. “It took me about a year to get her not crazy.”

She rode her for pleasure before getting into the “really heavy running” last year when they “really clicked” and collected enough points on the tour to finish first for the season.

Technically a pony, at just under 14.2 hands, the nine-year-old Chiclet is quicker than the other horses in moving around the barrels.

“She’s probably the smallest one running out there,” said Newman’s mother, Tina Spooner.

She can also be the most cantankerous at times.

“Mares tend [to have a] very strong personality” and Chiclet has shown a foul disposition on occasion.

Documentary being filmed at Aron Theatre members, volunteers and community stakeholders.

Canadian co-operatives provide goods and services to over 18 million members. By exploring the co-operative experience in Canada this film hopes to shine a light on the hopeful future of the co-op model.

Aron Co-op President Mark White

“She’s bucked Amy off, and reared,” when she gets in a mood, Spooner said.

She was prepared to return Chiclet to her owner “because she was psycho” but her daughter “cried and cried,” so she relented, and subsequently arranged for Heffernan to work with the two of

them.

It paid off. Last year Spooner was offered $25,000 for Chiclet but “she’s worth way more” and the family isn’t interested in selling her.

“We wouldn’t trade her for anything,” Spooner said.

said, “We are excited and proud to be part of this project. Our Aron has been the subject of university research, local, national and international media articles, and now a documentary movie. We know we have a special little theatre in our town, but honestly, I am amazed at how it is being touted far beyond our community.”

Entertainment – Campbellford Anton Smolski, co-director and his crew will be filming in Campbellford on Friday, July 3 and Saturday, July 4.

“A Silent Transformation” will be a feature-length presentation that will explore different sectors of the Canadian co-operative economy: food and agriculture, renewable energy, finance, housing, worker-owned enterprises, health care and social services.

“This is a film about a movement, a people’s movement to transform their economic and social conditions,” said Smolski.

The Aron Theatre Co-operative will be showcased in the film.

Smolski will be getting a local perspective on the theatre with interviews and filming of audiences and co-op members at Friday evening’s movie (SPY), and again when the Aron and Team Eagle present Buddy Holly Live! & The Rockabilly Riot concert Saturday evening.

Behind the scenes shooting will be done with Aron board and committee

News - Tweed - On a June Friday that saw another major federal funding commitment to the Trent-Severn Waterway system, MP Daryl Kramp announced $610,000 in support of the Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance (EOTA). At an EOTA meeting in Tweed council chambers, Mr. Kramp reported that in the 2014 to 2016 time period, the federal government has committed $10 million across Canada for the National Trails Program.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement is actually an additional funding, locally and regionally through the Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance, through the EODP (Eastern Ontario Development Program), a combination of funding directly through the National Trails Program and our local Community Futures and I cannot say enough about our local CFDCs,â&#x20AC;? said Mr. Kramp in his brief address.

Of the announced $610,000 funding, $270,000 comes from the National Trails Program and $340,000 flows from the federal Eastern Ontario Development Program

Mr. Kramp noting that he travels the trails himself, and for years was involved with snowmobiling, cross country skiing and four wheeling.

The one trail use he has not tried is horse riding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Horses and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see eye-to-eye,â&#x20AC;? said Kramp to chuckles from the assembled crowd.

through the Frontenac and North Hastings Community Futures Development Corporations.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You folks have been very, very aggressive in stepping up to the plate to not only ensure you get a share of that money but to use it exceptionally well. Â An accompanying press release notes that the funding will improve trail infrastructure, encourage job creation, link communities and increase recreational opportunities. Quoting JoAnne Farquhar, President of the National Trails Coalition Board, the press release states â&#x20AC;&#x153;... trail user groups can now apply for project funding to facilitate trail building, refurbishment and upgrade activities that will

 Kramp praised â&#x20AC;&#x153;local people making local decisions. People that know what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about.â&#x20AC;? Hastings County Warden Rick Phillips commented that the county has been a great supporter of the trail system and that he sees no reason why this will not continue.

be beneficial to the long term sustainability of all forms of trail-based activities across Canada.â&#x20AC;?

David Gerow, Chair of EOTA told the group, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our organization is extremely happy and thrilled to be receiving this amount of funding from the federal government to match the dollars that have been raised through our local municipalities and governments ... now that we have some new regs from the MTO for ATVs, side-by-sides and so on, that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be able to get on the trails, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be an-

other boost to our economics.â&#x20AC;? EOTA trails range from Algonquin Park to the Bay of Quinte. The Alliance estimates the trails draw 25,000 users and bring in $6 million to the economy annually.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;You folks have been very, very aggressive in stepping up to the plate to not only ensure you get a share of that money but to use it exceptionally well.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen it on so many occasions,â&#x20AC;? said

Twilight track and field meet set for July 16

Help available for seniors with odd jobs around the house News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Campbellford â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Community Care Northumberland (CCN) offers community-based home support services for seniors and adults who have special needs or are recovering from illness or injury and can no longer perform some basic household tasks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Home Help and Maintenance program is designed to help maintain clients in their own homes in their own communities,â&#x20AC;? said Trish Baird,

CCN executive director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our brokered workers perform tasks for our clients to help them maintain both the interior and exterior of their homes.â&#x20AC;?

Sports - Brighton â&#x20AC;&#x201C; If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it to the Pan-Am Games in Toronto, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still an opportunity to see a live track and field event this summer, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening right here in Brighton.

Plans are in the works for the first-ever twilight meet at East Northumberland Secondary School (ENSS) and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re invited: to watch from the stands or compete.

The call went out by email early last week. School track and field coach Anne Falla advised how the Brighton Soccer Club is open to moving â&#x20AC;&#x153;their game from ENSS to KEP (King Edward Park), so we can go ahead and host a twilight meet.â&#x20AC;? But, she added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to need a lot of help.â&#x20AC;?

The reaction was swift and positive. By the end of the week, everyone replied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seems as though everybody is ready to step up and help out,â&#x20AC;? said Falla. A flyer was sent out to Bay of Quinte high schools as well as ENSS feeder schools and will soon be posted around town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is our first one and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how it will go,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But summer nights are a

home maintenance and repair jobs. This may be an occasional or one-time only job and may include yard work, odd jobs, and heavy housecleaning.  The brokered workers are reimbursed for their time by their clients at the rate of $14 per hour and are fully screened

fee, athletes can compete in a number of events. Registration begins at 5 p.m. with events starting at 6:30 p.m. On the track, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be women and menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open competitions including steeplechase, hurdles, relays, 100-metre dash and 800-metre run. Field events will include shot put, triple jump and high jump. As well, a special free event, the 80-metre dash, will be run for kids aged 12 and under.

Spectators can attend for free. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They can fill the bleachers or they can compete, whatever they want to do,â&#x20AC;? says Falla.

Results will be posted throughout the meet and will be listed by event and birth years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That way, people can work out how a 45-year-old beat them or if they beat out a 17-year-old kid,â&#x20AC;? said Falla, with a grin.

The evening event will be capped with a community walk around the track, a tribute to the local support for the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The entire Brighton community made this event possible,â&#x20AC;? said Falla.

For more information, log on to the school website <www.enss. ca> or email Anne Falla at <anne_ falla@kprdsb.ca>.

great time to be out and twilight meets bring a strong sense of community to the event. Its fun and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty special feeling seeing these kids lighting up the track when they get to do relays under the lights.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of excitement,â&#x20AC;? she added while confirming OFSAA bronze medalist Ben Snider and senior girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; athlete of the year Katie Falla will both be there along with a number of ENSS athletes.

Falla then mentions a recent delivery at the school: $90,000 worth of track and field equipment, paid for by the John M. & Bernice Parrott Foundation. It turns out; former school physical education director Tim Larry submitted an application for funding to outfit the new track. The balance of the $125,000 grant will pay for a building to store the equipment when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not in use. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such an impressive collection of equipment,â&#x20AC;? said Falla. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought this is a great opportunity for people in the community to see this stuff and for the kids to get some use out it.â&#x20AC;?
