Quinte Waste Solutions launches Bottle Drive For Humanity

News - Belleville - Bob Clute could hardly contain his emotion when he was asked what he loves about Habitat for Humanity.

The long-time car dealer and new executive director of Habitat’s Prince-Edward Hastings chapter said he’s been involved in numerous good causes in his time, but nothing is like being able to provide an affordable house for a family in need, as was done in Quinte West just recently.

“It’s the most rewarding thing I’ve seen in my life,” he said, his eyes building with water. “Tears are shed when we hand over the keys.”

It was a point worth expressing as Habitat for Humanity and Quinte Waste Solutions officials gathered on Monday, June 29, to announce a new program called the Bottle Drive for Humanity. It will help both organizations fill their mandates: that is it will allow Habitat for Humanity to fundraise to build homes and allow Quinte Waste Solutions to save money on waste collection costs.

The two organizations are encouraging people to bring in empty wine, beer or spirit bottles purchased from the LUNCH Monday to Friday

LCBO, Beer Store or Wine Rack to the Habitat ReStore on Saturday, July 11, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The ReStore is located at 365 Bell Boulevard.

Habitat for Humanity will use the proceeds from returning these empties to fund two upcoming construction projects on Golfdale Road in Belleville.

Those who donate the bottles can receive a black and green “Bottle Bin” from Quinte Waste Solutions in which to collect their empties in the future. They can also, if they choose, sign a pledge that they will take all depositreturn bottles out of their recycling bin and return them to The Beer Store.

Rick Clow, the general manager of QWS, said his organization has a vested interest in encouraging people not to put alcohol bottles in their blue box, because the process to recycle these bottles is expensive for taxpayers among its member municipalities.

QWS provides recycling and waste collection for nine municipalities, including Belleville, Quinte West and six south Hastings County municipalities.

Tree cutting bylaw stirs debate

FLASH

SALE

By Jack Evans

News - Belleville - At least one member of Hastings County Council made it clear Thursday that he opposes any form of a tree cutting bylaw that would impact his property.

Reeve Carl Tinney, of Faraday, noted reference to a bylaw being prepared in the Planning Committee report and questioned why it was being done. He was told the planner had been instructed to prepare one by the committee so was acting under their orders. “I pay my taxes on my lands and I don’t want anyone telling me what I can or cannot do,� he argued.

Another member said she used to feel the same way, but after meeting with loggers and experts from other northern communities, sees such a by-

With funding from the Government of Ontario in the form of a Cultural Development Fund, a project researcher, Sam Cronk, was hired and a report was commissioned to outline his ďŹ ndings and his recommendations on how the three organizations can collaborate better and pursue co-ordinated services, joint programs, and cross-promotional

Other members said they had misgivings about such a bylaw but would wait to debate it until they saw the draft.

Update on Denyes Road barn fire

News - Belleville - On Sunday, June 28, at approximately 6 a.m. Belleville Firefighters from stations 3 and 4 rushed to 95 Denyes Road for a 9-1-1 report of a fully involved barn fire. On arrival, firefighters under the command of station commanders Cliff Christopher and Ken Baumhour, found the dairy barn fully engulfed in flames and rapidly growing in intensity. The fire was brought under control within an hour as the structure began to collapse from the high heat conditions. A continuous supply of water was needed and applied to the structure throughout the daylight hours to extinguish numerous areas of fire throughout the building.

Water tanker support was supplied by Mohawk and Tyendinega Fire Departments.

Now is a good time for QWC to partner with Habitat for Humanity because work on the Golfdale Road projects is expected to start later in July, Clute said.

The projects involves the construction of two houses, slated for separate lots a few doors apart from each other.

Clute said thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no shortage of volunteers and groups ready to help with the projects. Traditionally local Habitat projects get great support from labourers from CFB Trenton and independent contractors who donate their time and expertise. Habitat also recently signed an agreement with Loyalist College that allows its construction students to work on Habitat homes. That partnership will continue in September, Clute said, when the Belleville project is well under way.

He also clariďŹ ed that Habitat does not give out the homes to families for free.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an application process and the family selected can purchase the home for fair market value. However, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no down payment required and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no interest on the mortgage. The mortgage is created to ensure the monthly costs donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exceed 25 per cent of the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s income.

The family must also put in 500 hours of â&#x20AC;&#x153;sweat equityâ&#x20AC;? into the project, by contributing to construction or, say, helping out in the ReStore. This condition ensures that the home goes to a deserving recipient â&#x20AC;&#x153;Five hundred hours is a tough go,â&#x20AC;?

Clute said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But all of our families do it.â&#x20AC;?

to establish owing to the extremely hot temperatures and total collapse of the barn early into the fire. Two silos on the west side of the barn had to been torn down by a crane with a wrecking ball so that investigators could safely access areas of the barn. Ontario Fire Marshal investigators left the scene on Monday, June 29, around noon.

They will now assess all the documentation gathered during the investigation and using cause determination hypothesis, hopefully find a cause for this tragic loss of a long established family dairy farm.

As a result this fire remains under investigation pending results from the Fire Marshalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fire Investigation team.

Highway 401 emergency detour routes now in place

By Stephen Petrick

News - Belleville - Next time there’s an accident on Highway 401 near Belleville, and a detour route is needed, motorists should have no problem figuring out where to go.

The City of Belleville and the Township of Tyendinaga, in partnership with the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO), unveiled new signs that will be put along a detour route that connects the two communities.

They were shown at a press conference at the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre on Tuesday, June 23.

Belleville Mayor Taso Christopher and Tyendinaga Reeve Rick Phillips joined MTO officials for the event.

“Helping all road users get to their destinations safe and on time regardless of conditions is a priority,” said Steven Del Duca, Ontario’s Minister of Transportation.‎ “This new Emergency Detour Route is a step in that direction. Should anything happen to trigger a road closure, road users who travel on the 401 between Belleville and Tyendinaga Township will still be able to reach their destinations safely.”

The Belleville-Tyendinaga detour

takes drivers down Blessington Road, via Highway 37 in the west and Shannonville Road in the east.

The City of Belleville also has detour rotes now in place in case the 401 needs to be closed around the middle or west end of the city. Another detour leads drivers to Bell Boulevard, between Cannifton Road and North Front Street.

A third detour that covers the west end leads drivers to Vermilyea Road, in between Highway 62 and WallbridgeLoyalist Road.

The Emergency Detour Route signs provide drivers with a predetermined detour route during a provincial highway closure.

The MTO develops these routes through consultation with local municipalities, police and other emergency response agencies.

Wide ranges of factors are taken into consideration when developing the routes, including the

route’s suitability for accommodating increased volumes of traffic.

“Major traffic routes are an integral part of our residents’ day-to-day lives whether it is driving to and from work, providing services, moving goods or chauffeuring family members to extracurricular activities,” Mayor Christopher said. “Public safety is of the utmost importance and the Emergency Detour Routes play an important role in helping to guide traffic away from

the scene of an incident and reach their destination by an easier, safer route.”

Reeve Phillips added, “It has been a pleasure working with the City of Belleville and the Ministry of Transportation on this important file.

Highway 401 closures are a fact of life, so when we can put measures in place so that the disruption is minimized to every extent possible, it is a win-win for the affected communities and the driving public.”

News - Belleville - Spending annual Bike Month using only a bicycle for transportation, Councillor Egerton Boyce reported to city council that it was an enlightening and rewarding experience.

“I learned a lot about the city and I lost a few pounds.

I also saw Belleville from a different perspective,” he reported to council as the month experiment comes to a close.

Specifically, a bicyclist gets to see many beautiful aspects of the city on special trails that motorists cannot

see. There is a wealth of suitable trails and they should be promoted better, he suggested. He also made several suggestions for more improvements in the bike trail network and noted a lack of bicycle racks, both in public parks and at private businesses like restaurants.

People need a secure place to park their bikes if they want to use them for shopping or doing business, he said.

Councillor Boyce had voluntarily committed himself to a month of bicycling and announced it at an earlier council meeting.

LIFESTYLES LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Connecting the dots reveals a bleak picture

Dear Editor, The world’s bankers seem unduly influenced by Goldman Sachs alumni.

Many heads of central banks rose through the ranks. Goldman Sachs recently placed a limit on work hours for its non-paid “interns” of 17 hours a day.

These soul-less creatures really want to join the one per cent. Their clients, (muppets to those who use them) are to be fleeced just as the rest of humanity.

The book Confessions of an Economic Hitman laid out in detail how the IMF and World Bank dupe or bribe smaller countries into unsustainable debt and then orders fire sale privatization of

Dear Editor, It seems as though we Canadians can look to a fall federal election. The Red, Blue, Orange and Green folks will be hard at it, telling voters why we should vote for their particular colour and what they in turn can promise to do for us hardworking Canucks?

public services and resources to pay them back.

Greece is balking at cutting its citizens’ pensions in response to demands of its masters in the EU who rightly state all other public spending in Greece has been cut to the bone. All countries in the EU must pass legislation allowing “bail ins” by their government. This allows the government to directly tax people’s savings in order to pay government loans due to foreign lenders. This happened in Cyprus and may happen in Greece. The barrier to full effectiveness is of course “cash.” Morgan Chase in the USA has banned cash for payment of credit card

accounts, mortgages, and car loans. You must also sign a pledge to not store cash in its safety deposit boxes. Some banks in Switzerland have banned cash and actually charge their customers one to two per cent interest on their savings.

Financial police in France search travellers passing through for large amounts of cash and confiscate any found, as do police in the USA. Amounts vary but generally anything over $1,000 cash found is deemed “proceeds of crime.” Only criminals need cash, right, though no charges are laid.

None of the above affects corporations or the rich whose wealth has risen

Entitlement is the current attitude of politicians these days. The flagrant use of taxpayers’ money is shameful. There is a noticeable absence of dignity in some of our elected representatives.

They dress well and are nicely coifed, though appearances can be deceiving, and do not a statesman make.

too sober. The scandals there make for great news copy but the old boys and girls club is a pathetic excuse for their excesses and arrogance. Appointing friends and party hacks to the Senate does not serve Canada or Canadians.

This is costing Canadians millions and millions of dollars, for what purpose?

I don’t believe the senate should be reformed, it should be eliminated even if takes a constitutional amendment.

This apparently needs the provinces’ agreement. All the so-called experts cite this as an excuse for inaction, and to maintain the status quo.

Is there a politician somewhere who can fix this mess?

substantially. Canadian wealth in tax havens has reached an estimated $199 billion under our present government.

Cutting $250 million and 300 jobs in the Canadian Revenue department, which investigates offshore tax dodgers, has helped a lot. The number one destination for Canadian offshore accounts appears to be Barbados. The Cayman Islands is home to 18,000 shell companies, many of them head offices of corporations.

Walmart has 78 shell companies in tax havens sheltering $76 billion.

Twenty-two are in Luxembourg where it has no retail outlets, yet made $1.3 billion profit and paid less than one per

Operating and running a great natural beauty like Canada on behalf of, and for, its citizens, is a noble endeavour.

Honesty, humility and dignity do not equate with arrogance.

The nearly 50 per cent of Canadians who do not participate in the electoral process are not lazy, the process itself has become irrelevant to them. Their participation has become invalidated.

So, what can be done to bring Canada back on a sure course domestically and on the international stage? We were once a respected country by many nations in this world of ours. A reasoned peacekeeper was Canada, committed to the well being of humanity. Unfortunately, over the last decade we have been misled and misguided.

A serious correction is needed.

cent in tax. Much of this manipulation is legal. The head of the Canadian Mint, recently accused of lavish spending on the taxpayers’ dime, also set up offshore accounts for a friend who afterward realized it could end badly and sued.

The out-of-court settlement contained a no disclosure clause, which the Superior Court judge signed off on. While there is no law in Canada requiring someone to blow the whistle on a criminal act, I am surprised that a Superior Court judge would keep quiet. High finance: a neverending and always evolving scam.

Conservative no more Dear Editor, There are those who have not realized that we are losing our democracy to Harper’s sly reign. I suggest we are not tied to his apron strings like his appointed senators may be; we do have independent brains; we do have good memories, we are not fence sitters anymore. And we do have a communal responsibility to be soberly aware of just how close to the edge of a different Canada we stand.

In 66 years, I have never witnessed such unapologetic deceptiveness. Every government has made mistakes and big ones. Thus this one takes the proverbial cake.

Alarming, one-man irreversible decisions keep happening, the first time in the history of my vote. This PM has crossed the line long ago.

Remember, this is your elected voice and will, supposedly. Is he actually listening to most of us?

Native peoples, special needs, low incomers, veterans, immigrants, to name a few, are all awake to his, “my way or the highway” mentality.

He has also appointed more “asinine” kissers than past memory recalls.

He promised no new senators, enter 59 more at $142,400 per year each (all Conservatives). An additional $8,401,600 per year plus questionable perks does not equal balanced books.

In 1985, senators made one-third their current wages. Has your salary similarly tripled in those 30 years? Balanced budget, my foot. Perhaps on the backs of those aforementioned groups.

OPINION

Islamic State: More massacres Our family … musically Editorial - Last Friday, in France, an Islamist named Yahya Salhi killed his employer, Herve Cornara. He attached the victim’s severed head to the fence around a chemical plant, together with a cloth saying “There is no God but God and Muhammad is his prophet”–and then Gwynne Dyer rammed his vehicle into a warehouse full of chemicals hoping (but failing) to cause a massive explosion.

In Kuwait two hours later, Fahd Suleiman Abdulmohsen al-Qaba’a, a Saudi citizen, entered a Shia mosque and detonated a bomb that killed at least 25 people. He was presumably a Sunni fanatic sent by “Islamic State” to kill Shias, who they believe are heretics who should be killed.

In Tunisia one hour later, 38 European tourists, most of them British, were massacred by a 23year-old man with a Kalashnikov on a beach in Sousse. The perpetrator, Seifeddine Rezgui, was studying engineering at a university in Kairouan, an hour’s drive west of Sousse.

Islamic State, which has carved out a territory in Iraq and Syria that has more people and a bigger army than half the members of the United Nations, immediately claimed responsibility for all three attacks. Yahya Salhi may have been a lone-wolf head case, but in the other two cases the claim was almost certainly true.

But there was another attack that you probably didn’t hear about. Kobani, the Kurdish town in northern Syria that withstood a four-month siege

by Islamic State troops last year, came under attack again last Thursday. About a hundred young Islamists in Humvees and pickup trucks drove into town and shot 220 people dead in the streets and in their houses.

So 64 murders that you heard a lot about, and 220 others you heard little or nothing about. There are hundreds of innocent people being murdered

by Islamist fanatics in Syria every week, so it’s no longer news. Besides, the motive there is obvious: it’s just Islamic State trying to expand its territory in Syria. But as for the others ….

Britain’s prime minister, David Cameron, responded to the deaths of 30 British citizens in Tunisia by trotting out the same shopworn drivel that Western leaders have been peddling for the past 14 years. The fight against Islamic State is “the struggle of our generation,” Cameron

declared. Indeed, IS poses “an existential threat” to the West.

Maybe Cameron doesn’t know what the word “existential” means. Could somebody please explain to him that he is saying that Islamic State poses a threat to the continued existence of the West? Does he really think that is the case?

Forgive me for making a cold-blooded calculation, but sometimes it is necessary.

The population of the West (not counting the countries of Latin America, which don’t play in this league) is about 900 million. Thirty-nine “Westerners” have been killed in attacks by Islamist terrorists this month. At this rate, the West will have ceased to exist in 1.9 million years. If this is an existential threat, it’s not a very urgent one.

In fact, it’s not really about the West at all. The European victims on the beach in Sousse were killed in order to destroy the tourism that provides almost 15 per cent of Tunisia’s national income, and thereby destabilise the only fully democratic country in the Arab world. The extremists’ real goal is to seize power in Tunisia; the Western victims were just a means to that end.

The bombing of a Shia mosque in Kuwait was intended to increase tensions between the Sunni majority and the large Shia minority in that country, with the ultimate goal of unleashing a Sunni-Shia civil war in which Islamist extremists could take over the Sunni side as they have already done in Syria and Iraq.

Only the lone-wolf attack in France could conceivably be seen as directed at the “West”– although that might also have been just a personal grievance wrapped up in an Islamist justification.

The rest of the killing was about who controls the Muslim countries, particularly in the Middle East, as it has been from the start. Even 9/11 was about that, designed not to “bring America to its knees” but to lure it into an invasion of Afghanistan that Osama bin Laden believed would stimulate Islamist revolutions in Muslim countries. The Islamists do “hate Western values,” but they have bigger fish to fry at home.

Islamic State and the various incarnations of Al Qaeda (the Nusra Front in Syria, Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, etc.,) pose an existential threat to the non-Sunni Muslim minorities of the Middle East, and even to Sunni Muslims whose beliefs diverge significantly from those of the Islamists. The West should help governments in the region that protect their minorities, and of course it should try to protect its own people.

But this is not the “struggle of our generation” for the West. It should be nowhere near the top of its own list of priorities.

By Lewis Zandbergen

Editorial - Music. Many have described it in various ways: Longfellow said: “And the night shall be filled with music, And the cares that infest the day Shall fold their tents like the Arabs And as silently steal away.” (That’s Longfellow’s capitalization and lack of punctuation.) T.S. Eliot said: “You are the music while the music lasts.” “Music is what feelings sound like,” said an unknown author.

The great Beethoven said, “Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life” and perhaps William F. Buckley Jr. said it best, “Life can’t be all bad when for ten dollars you can buy all the Beethoven sonatas and listen to them for ten years.”

There’s no doubt music plays a huge part in our lives almost from the day we’re conceived. Some research bears out the notion that playing music to your unborn child is beneficial not only to the well-being of the child but also to the mother. Of course, I imagine it depends on the type of music to which you subject the fetus.

While the classics may inspire you to greater inner peace, it may have the opposite effect on the unborn; that being said, I have to wonder whether or not cranking up an AC/DC tune like Thunderstruck or Led Zeppelin’s Heartbreaker will have the same soothing properties. I kinda doubt it and the unborn child’s proclivity to dancing in the womb might be a bit much for mom to be.

Most of us parents can recall having entertained our offspring in the car on long trips and even short ones with Row, Row, Row Your Boat, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Ten Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed but as grandparents those days are long behind us.

At our house, we were instilled with a love of music at an early age. On Saturday evenings back in the 1950s Dad always tried to tune in to WSM from Nashville, Tennessee, to catch the Grand Ole Opry; through the pips and pops and other static, tunes from Lefty Frizzell, Ray Price, Don Gibson and Webb Pierce would make their way to our ears. Dad was also a big fan of Hank Williams’ music. He only dabbled at a couple of instruments, the chord organ and harmonica, but he stayed a country and gospel music fan to the end of his days. Mom liked sentimental music and both my mom and dad liked martial music. There was also a strong classical streak in my mother; she could listen to Strauss waltzes for hours.

I inherited my mother’s appreciation for classical music, Mozart, Strauss, Vivaldi, Beethoven and Chopin; from time to time, when the mood strikes, I also lean to country (the classic artists such as George Jones, Jim Reeves and Kitty Wells–not that new stuff to which they humorously refer as country music) but I’m also a huge fan of the Rolling Stones, AC/DC and Led Zeppelin. Eclectic huh? As with most people my age, we can remember exactly the night Ed Sullivan introduced our teenage ears to The Beatles and Rolling Stones. And although I once aspired to a music career as a guitarist, life stepped in and put an end to that dream; oh, I occasionally pick up one of my guitars and strum a bit but a lot of the musical dexterity I once fancied I had disappeared as the hair grew more grey. Sadly, with the exception of my son’s occasional whirl at air guitar in moments of fancy listening to Lindsay Buckingham and Fleetwood Mac, none of my children learned to play an instrument. That facility seems to have skipped a generation.

But there is good news on that front.

A couple of weeks ago in this space, I alluded to our grandson Keaton’s career as a hip-hop/ rap artist. He’s opened for some really big acts and has been featured on a few stages in “The Big Smoke.” You can catch a lot of his music on SoundCloud–just Google SoundCloud and search for Keaton and Sound Affiliation under hip-hop. I won’t say I’m a huge fan of the music but Keaton also appeared in stage productions when he was in secondary school and I’ll tell you, that young fella has a great voice and can really belt out a tune. We’re immensely proud he’s our grandson.

There’s more hope in the newest generation– our granddaughter Victoria. She has good taste when it comes to music as evidenced by the fact that she likes AC/DC just like her grandpa. Yep, whenever I’m at the computer she comes up to me and asks me to play TNT; she “dances” to the tune and always asks for it to be repeated. “Again, Grandpa.” I usually accommodate the three-yearold ’cause when she smiles and flashes those baby blue eyes, my heart just melts.

And I have to admit to feeling a bit of hope and even a touch of pride when she casually walks by a guitar I have next to my desk and runs her fingers across the strings; she’s interested.

Perhaps these are good signs for the musical side of the Zandbergen clan after all.

Arts community gets awards

By Jack Evans

Entertainment - Belleville - The arts community rallied from across the Quinte region to witness their fellow supporters get their awards at the annual Mayor’s Luncheon for the Arts Thursday.

It was the first time the event was held in the Greek Hall and the 21st year for the popular Arts Recognition Awards program and lunch.

Arranged through the Quinte Arts Council, the program has handed out awards to dozens of recipients over the years in all aspects of the arts including support.

It was also a chance for many to get to meet their new incoming president, Anne Cunningham, who noted what a wealth of artistic and cultural talent was sitting in the hall.

Mayor Taso Christopher stayed long enough to give some opening remarks, but had to leave for another meeting.

“The arts in Belleville are blossoming,” he said, noting that

the city enjoys a “phenomenal relationship” with its arts community.

He then turned his job over to Councillor Garnet Thompson to act on his behalf for the presentations later.

Master of ceremonies was arts council board member and volunteer Gary McLeod, who first called on Susan Walsh. Her award recognized her many years as a performing singer in musicals and vocal ensembles since coming here from Montreal, also for putting together the ensemble, For the Love of a Song.

“It’s the first time I’ve been recognized as an arts performer,” enthused Walsh, who described the honour, a certificate from the city and a glass-blown artwork as “really cool. And the arts are so important to Belleville.”

McLeod recalled Suzanne Pasternak’s successful folk opera Minerva as one highlight of her successful career, often focussing on Prince Edward County history and

lore. He noted she is working on a special folk opera style presentation on the city of Boston’s aid to Halifax following the great explosion there almost 100 years ago. That is to be presented at this year’s Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Boston, featuring the Halifax festival choir.

Not to an individual, but to a facility, was an award to the Baxter Arts Centre in Bloomfield, recognizing the effort of a small community to take over and preserve a building to showcase local artistic talents. Receiving the award was Rob Leek, chair of the board for the once lunch-hall for the former canning factory across the street.

Described as a “driven, aboriginal artist focussing on Mohawk legends, was William Fisher, whose award recognized his creative and abundant carvings. He praised the work of the arts council, especially for “the importance of educating our kids in the arts.”

A busy Suzanne Andrews of

the Trenton and District Chamber of Commerce was rewarded for her determination and dedication to fostering the arts community in Quinte West. She quoted Sir Winston Churchill who, as wartime prime minister of Britain, denied any cuts to arts programs to help the war effort.

“If we don’t have the arts–what are we fighting for?” he asked.

McLeod suggested that it would be impossible for anyone involved in the arts community not to know Gordon Craig over his 25 years as conductor of Quinte Symphony.

He traced Craig’s successful career as an accomplished clarinetist, musician, educator and conductor of several ensembles and for bringing Quinte Symphony along to be an “accomplished symphony orchestra.”

Craig announced his retirement at the orchestra’s spring concert this year.

He described news of his award as “out of the blue” and praised the concept of such rewards to the arts community.

A total surprise for the arts council’s executive director Carol Feeney was a special citation to herself in the form of a huge bouquet of flowers and commendations.

“We’ll keep on,” she said in reply.

Anne Cunningham concluded: “There’s so much talent in our community and I’m so proud to be part of it.

Conservative no more

Continued from page 6

Trudeau and Mulcair are sensible, intelligent options. Change, not for change’s sake but for democracy to return.

And I put out a call to arms (to vote, not riot) to all young people who would rather try to affect change by civil disorder. I get why you feel disenfranchised, but don’t give up.

Instead, get your education and nip Harper in the backside with your valuable vote. Use your real power.

Remind your PM, he will be your voice, not an echo of his own will and bad form.

Cheering for the team behind the team Chevrolet gives thanks to the volunteers at the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am and Parapan Am Games By: Stephen K. Carlisle, President and Managing Director, General Motors Canada

This year, more than 250,000 people will arrive in our city to join us for The TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games, events which will inspire and engage generations of Canadians.

The athletes will be the stars of the Games.

Their stories, their hard work and their victories are what move us to celebrate their achievements, to take pride in our hometown competitors and to recognize those from around the world.

It’s also with pride that we welcome our neighbours to Toronto and its surrounding areas, because it’s our city, it’s our province and it’s our country. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our community, and we’re ready.

Supporting Our Volunteers At Chevrolet, we recognize that the 23,000 volunteers at this year’s Games are the engine that makes it all possible. We’re ready because of those volunteers. We believe in the power of possibilities and there’s an incredible potential in each of them.

The hard work of our volunteers should be recognized. They are like the pit crew in a grueling race and they deserve our thanks for the early mornings, late nights and their unfaltering dedication.

Four years ago, Chevrolet committed to being the official sponsor of the volunteers for the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/ Parapan Am Games. A commitment made out of respect for the volunteers own unfaltering commitment.

It was also a natural extension of Chevrolet’s long history of supporting Canadian sports.

As the organizers have worked to shape the Games, we’ve worked alongside them to provide the support needed for our volunteers to make these Games the greatest they’ve ever been.

This has meant providing Chevrolet vehicles to help the volunteers behind the scenes to prepare the field of play, to shuttle athletes to and from their matches, to enhance the spectator experience, and to participate in the Opening and Closing Ceremonies.

No matter how you enjoy the Games you’re likely to see these hardworking volunteers— but you should also think of the ones you don’t see, those integral to bringing the Games to life before a single race was run, before a single ball was thrown, and before any athletes proudly walked the Opening Ceremony to the applause of people from around the world.

Take a moment to join us in thanking them.

To the 23,000 Volunteers of the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games, we say

THANK YOU! Together we celebrate the power of play.

Show your national pride by reading Canadian literature News - Belleville - This week we are celebrating Canada Day and we have so many reasons to feel proud of our great country. Canada is filled with incredible natural wonders from the Rocky Mountains to the majestic shores of the Atlantic Ocean and all the amazing places in between. Throughout our beautiful land we have a diverse and rich culture and history.

There is no better way to celebrate and experience our culture and history than with Canadian literature. Canadian authors are famous the world over for their incredible storytelling.

This July, Belleville Public

Library celebrates Canada Day by displaying a wonderful selection of books with a little help from our friends at CBC Books. CBC Books recently compiled a list called â&#x20AC;&#x153;100 books that make us proud to be Canadian.â&#x20AC;? The books were chosen for â&#x20AC;&#x153;cultural impact, critical reception and even reader responseâ&#x20AC;? and this July 1 we bring them to you for your reading pleasure. Visit the Library or go online to check them out or place a hold today.

The full list can be found through a link on our homepage or by visiting <www.cbc.ca/books/ books100.html>.

The titles on this list cover every type of fiction imaginable; from mystery to classic Canadian literature, contemporary awardwinning fiction to science fiction to young adult.

Where else would you find such an eclectic mix? Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find Hugh McLennanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staple classic Two Solitudes keeping company with Jessica Grantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quirky Come, Thou Tortoise; Nebulaaward winner sci-fi phenomenon Neuromancer by William Gibson is beside Will Fergusonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Giller Prize-winning 419, which is a brilliant work of fiction by an author who has traditionally

written non-fiction. Also check out Joy Kogawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Obasan or Jeff Lemireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graphic novel Essex County for something different and refreshing.

Can you guess which authors have more than one title on the list? Or name the only young adult author that made the cut?

Debate with your friends about which books should have been included or not included on the list.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss this opportunity to experience some truly fantastic Canadian fiction.

Correction Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned than an article that appeared in the January 8, 2015, issue of the Belleville News about Hospice Quinteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dump the Plump contest is causing some confusion, now that the contest is over. The article stated cash prizes are given out to an overall male and female winner. In fact the intention of the contest was to award prizes to one individual winner regardless of gender and one team winner. Belleville News apologizes for the error and any confusion it caused.

Pride festivities growing mainstream, but still keeping grassroots edge

By Stephen Petrick

A post-Pride dance and party also takes place at the Belle Pub that night at 8 p.m.

Eric Hargreaves, one of the event’s organizers and a long-time local contributor to gay youth groups, said he’s pleased at how the event has become a mainstream attraction.

He said the Downtown Belleville Improvement Association’s support of the event, by putting up a window display, was welcomed by organizers. Organizations such as the Belleville & Quinte West Community Health Centre, Loyalist College and the Hastings & Prince Edward Counties Health Unit are supporting the event, too.

Hargreaves said it’s important to point out that the festivities aren’t just for people who identify themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered or questioning. It’s also for “allies.” Having a parade and festival that involves all demographics goes a long way to eliminating stigma and creating a sense of equality.

“That’s one of the biggest pieces,” said Hargreaves. “It’s hard to describe how valuable that is.”

Yet, while the festival grows to be a mainstream attraction, organizers are also

working to ensure its grassroots edge is kept by having it run by volunteers, Hargreaves added.

“We’re trying to balance the corporate input while maintaining the community flavour,” he said. “At the park, it’s all com-

munity driven.”

The best thing about Pride in the Park is that it’s a very laid back and inviting festival, Hargreaves said. He recalled that at last year’s event at least three people “came out” to him, as they felt the atmosphere was

safe to announce their own sexuality.

Even in the year 2015, making the decision to “come out” can still be difficult for many people, Hargreaves acknowledged.

However, he feels there are more support groups for people who make that decision than ever before. He’s involved with a youth support group called SAY Out Loud, which meets regularly.

There’s also a local support group for transgendered people called TRANSforum-Quinte.

And while the Pride festivities provide an opportunity for locals to discuss issues related to sexuality, in the end it’s really just about having a good time, organizers stressed. That’s especially true for the parade itself, which usually involves bright outfits and rainbow flags.

“It’s colourful, it’s light and it’s loud,” said Stacey Love-Jolicoeur, a member of the Pride committee, who will be this year’s parade marshal. “It’s open to families and it’s a great opportunity to come out and have a fabulous time.”

More details on the events, and ticket information for the shows, are available at <www.bellevillepride.ca>.]

News - Belleville - There was a time when Belleville’s Pride in the Park festival was a fairly informal affair. It involved a small group of people meeting at Zwick’s and celebrating sexual diversity.

Now the event and the preceding Pride Parade is a large community event, one backed by local businesses and agencies.

It’s a sign that the Hastings & Prince Edward area is more open and inclusive than ever before.

This year’s Pride festivities get under way on Friday, July 3, when The Banquet Centre hosts a Pre-Pride celebration, featuring comedian Elvira Kurt at 9 p.m.

Then, on Saturday, July 4, people will gather for the Pride Parade at 12 noon at Empire Square. To avoid the construction, this year they’ll march down Pinnacle Street to Victoria, then back onto Front Street, where they’ll head south and then west onto Dundas Street, toward Zwick’s park.

Zwick’s is the site for Pride in the Park, the festival than runs until 4 p.m. There will be free food, crafts, entertainment and booths from several community agencies.

Cancellation of Self-Employment Benefit Program stuns Trenval

South East CCAC cared for nearly 38,000 over year

News - The South East Community Care Access Centre celebrated a busy year at its annual general meeting in Kingston on June 18. The South East CCAC covers a region spanning from Brighton to Prescott and includes, Belleville, Quinte West and all of Hastings County.

“We provided care to nearly 38,000 residents of southeastern Ontario and we balanced our budget,” said David Vigar, chair of the South East CCAC board of directors.

“We have a responsibility to understand the needs of our communities, that we collaborate effectively and that we use our resources judiciously. Over the next year, the CCAC will focus on engaging more fully with our patients and their caregivers and our partners to improve access to high quality care through the development of a sustainable system of integrated care.”

In 2014/2015, South East CCAC provided care to more than 35,769 people including: 22,314 patients receiving care at home; 15,710 seniors who were supported to stay in their homes independently; and 3,899 children receiving health services at school.

“We served more patients and more people with high needs than ever before,” said Jacqueline Redmond, CEO of the South East CCAC. “We are grateful to our contracted service providers and other partners for helping us provide this care. We are working with our Health Link partners to determine how CCAC care co-ordination can be best utilized to deliver care to this population. Care co-ordinators are the heart and soul of home and community care and possess the essential assessment skills to help patients and their families access the care they need.”

The board of directors for 2015/2016 includes vice-chair Deanna Dulmage (Belleville), Bruce Maitland (Belleville) and Georgina Shaw (Brighton).

The CCAC also released its annual report and audited financial statements.

These documents can be downloaded from the CCAC website at <www. healthcareathome.ca/southeast>.

ment Commission meeting weeks earlier Kozak expressed to fellow commission members his disappointment in the decision, saying that in the program’s 23-year history it has led to nearly 1,300 start-up companies in this region alone.

In an interview following Friday’s AGM, he said some groups around the province plan on petitioning the Ontario government to bring it back in a new form.

But Kozak said he doesn’t agree with the province’s decision to cancel it in the first place.

“It is what it is and we’ll see how we can find an alternative,” he said.

“I cannot agree with [the decision to cancel] in eastern Ontario. In eastern Ontario, and rural Ontario, the program was a success.”

Northumberland-Quinte West Member of Provincial Parliament Lou Rinaldi, a member of the ruling Liberal government, spoke at the AGM and addressed the issue. He said people involved in the program through Trenval were an unfortunate casualty, as the program was successful here, but not in other areas of the province.

“The problem was there weren’t many organizations doing as good a job as you were doing,” he said. “A very small percentage delivered on what they were supposed to deliver.”

Rinaldi hinted that a similar program

val, hosted 70 workshops over the past year and was involved with about 700 consultations with various business people.

Trenval’s efforts also contributed to several local business initiatives over the past year, such as the Quinte Business Achievement Awards and Shop Local promotions.

Kozak said Trenval’s ef-

forts are all about creating local jobs that will prevent bright and hard-working people, particularly young people, from having to move elsewhere in the province for a good employment.

During his presentation he said it’s important to keep young people here so they can “raise families, buy groceries, pay takes–all those good things.”

The news of the cancellation was the only sombre point in a casual and uplifting AGM, attended by several board members, supporters and a few politicians from Trenval’s catchment area, which includes Belleville, Quinte West, Deseronto, Stirling-Rawdon and Tyendinaga Township.

Kozak and Trenval board chairman Glen LeClair

spoke about recent results from several other programs, designed to create jobs and support both small and large businesses.

For instance, the presentation stated that a program to help young entrepreneurs, now called Futurpreneur, has led to 41 new business start-ups and 95 new jobs since 2010.

News - Belleville - News that Ontario’s Self-Employment Benefit Program has been cancelled put a damper in an otherwise positive meeting, when Trenval held its annual general meeting at Loyalist College’s Pioneer building on Friday, June 26.

Invisible Braces

Dr. Brian Ho

R0013353308

By Stephen Petrick

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that corrects teeth that are crowded, protruding, or too far apart.

Until recently, orthodontic treatment was focused mainly on teenagers, and the preferred method was metal train-track braces. Today, about 20% of orthodontic patients are between twenty and sixty years of age.

Dental researchers have produced a revolutionary new technique that has brightened the smiles of thousands of patients.

The system is called Invisalign®, and it’s the invisible way to straighten teeth using a series of custom-made, nearly undetectable aligners Here’s how it works.

During your consultation, we decide if Invisalign is right for you. We create a treatment plan, take an

impression of your teeth, and submit it to Invisalign who translates our instructions into a series of medical-grade plastic aligners. Each one of your comfortable aligners is precisely calibrated and manufactured to fit snugly over your teeth and gently move them through every stage of your treatment plan. No more metal in your mouth means you’ll smile more during treatment, and you’ll spend less time in our office having adjustments!

Because Invisalign aligners are removable, you can still enjoy your favorite foods and smile without holding back. With Invisalign, there’s nothing to avoid and nothing to hide!

We welcome you to call our office to ask questions, or to arrange a consultation to discover how Invisalign can help give you the smile you’ve always wanted!

Dr. Brian Ho is a general dentist practicing at Trenton Family Dental in Trenton, Ontario. He can be reached at 613.394.3883 or trentonfamilydental@gmail.com, or by visiting www.trentonfamilydental.com.

staffers Karen Parker and Erica Holgate say if this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events go well, the program could be expanded in 2016.

They say they wanted to give Outdoor Movies a try, knowing itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been successful in other nearby communities.

The City of Kingston launched an outdoor movie program at its revamped Market Square nearly a decade ago and it has become so popular that it now runs almost weekly through the summer months.

next to Empire Square, is expected to be open to serve snacks, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to do a wonderful new thing in the downtown,â&#x20AC;? said Parker, the BDIA executive director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to bring free, family entertainment.â&#x20AC;?

Holgate added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;why notâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? have free movies in the square.

The new feature has been made possible with several sponsors and the efforts of the Empire Theatre, which is essentially setting up the event.

The Empire purchased a new screen for the show, which is about the size of its indoor theatre big screen.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s movies were selected by the public, who voted on them from a list presented by the DBIA through its social media sites. The same thing could happen next year, Parker said, if the DBIA launches the program again.

Parker and Holgate hope the event will encourage more people to come downtown and see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on. While the top section of Front Street, including the stretch along Empire Theatre and the adjacent Empire Square, is down to one lane because of construction, they believe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good time to entice people to come downtown.

While the construction may be temporarily inconvenient, they believe it will demonstrate to people that workâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being done to improve the downtown core. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a method to our madness,â&#x20AC;?

Parker joked.

The construction taking place now is part of Phase 1 of a three-phase plan to reconstruct Front Street over three years.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the projects of the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Build Belleville infrastructure program.

News - A new bus running from Loyalist College to the Quinte Mall and Walmart, including Maitland Drive and the Settlers Ridge and DeerďŹ eld subdivisions will start operating early in September, Belleville council decided Monday. The project is being funded as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;trial runâ&#x20AC;? from gasoline tax revenue by the province. After that, it will become a budget item for the transportation system, and also a tax increase for residents where it provides service, Councillor Jack Miller reminded.

The main discussion was how to extend bus service to the sprawling 400-house subdivision at Canniff Mills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get bus service there somehow,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Mayor Taso Christopher. Transit ofďŹ cials replied that it is being worked on but it could not be included in the new trial route but must be done by adjustments to other routes. Costs for the changes to take in Canniff Mills would include another new bus plus driver and staff.

News - Belleville - Belleville Theatre Guildâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pinnacle Playhouse may soon sport a new classic theatre-style marquee to better announce its downtown presence.

Drawings of such a sign were shown at the guildâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual meeting Wednesday evening last week.

Sports - Shannonville - Here’s some news to rev your engine over.

The inaugural Bay of Quinte Grand Prix is set to take place on July 18 and 19 at Shannonville Motorsport Park, just east of Belleville. The event will be a two-day racing festival that will also showcase the tastes of the region and it will be part of the Canadian Automobile Sports Club - Ontario Region (CASCOR) Road Racing Championships.

“I am thrilled to be able to make this announcement,” said Giani Biral, race organizer. “Shannonville has always been a fixture on the CASC calendar and we are thrilled to bring it back after a short hiatus with a new name, some new energy and new experiences. The event will be more fun for the competitors but will also be much more of a fan-centric event and that’s really exciting.”

Seven different racing championships will be contested over the two days, showcasing a diverse range of cars and providing something exciting for every type of motorsport fan. Racers from Ontario, Quebec and the United States are expected. The Toyo Tires F1600 Championship–the launching pad for most of Canada’s greatest road racing stars including Indycar drivers Paul Tracy and James Hinchcliffe–will contest round three of their Super Series between Ontario and Quebec.

The event will also include the F2000 Canada Championship and Radical Canada Championship, which feature sophisticated, blindingly fast wings-andslicks and prototype vehicles. The Miller Oils F1200 Championship, known for thrilling wheel-to-wheel battles and unpredictable finishes, will also take place. The weekend will also include

Race cars will be seen all weekend at Shannonville Motorsport Park on July 18 and 19, as the track will host the new Bay of Quinte Grand Prix.

the CASC GT Sprints, which feature ground pounding V8s and some of today’s most popular tuner cars. Another event, the GT Challenge, is a one-hour enduro run on the Saturday. A vintage race event is also expected to take place, to ensure there is truly something for everyone.

“The opportunity to get involved in the growth of this event just couldn’t be passed up,” said Jason Sharpe of Move Motorsport, which is sponsoring the event, along with Deutscher Automobil Club. “Shannonville has been the home of some of the greatest races in the country and all of Canada’s biggest stars have raced here.

Our hope is that naming it

the Bay of Quinte Grand Prix and working with the local business and tourism community that the region will really get behind the event. We bring in thousands of people from all around this thriving area and it’s a great event to showcase everything the region has to offer.” In addition to the racing, fans can expect to sample some of the region’s food and beverages, engage with interactive motorsport and automotive themed displays and meet the drivers and teams in the open paddock area. The Sunday of the event also features a show-and-shine for German cars. Tickets for the event are available at <www.

Garden Tour offering seven locations for passport holders

By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - The 12th annual Garden Tour organized by the Campbellford and District Horticultural Society has seven locations this year. Passports are now available for this event which will take place Saturday, July 11, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started my first garden when I was ten years old,â&#x20AC;? said Karen Reid.

She and Wesley Szudy are among those who have agreed to share their garden with others for the tour.

Located at their heritage home, 79 Frank Street (built in 1895), the grounds offer several pockets of different gardening experiences, each featuring varieties of plants and trees as well as a vegetable garden. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My dad helped me build a garden at the side of the house and we planted vegetables and when it actually grew and produced fruit I was hooked,â&#x20AC;? said Reid as she provided this writer with a tour of the grounds.

From the greenhouse to garden shed to a pond, the garden is not only part of the back yard but it is featured along both sides of the house. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first time I came into this house I fell in love with it,â&#x20AC;? noted Reid.

The front yard has not been forgotten either and welcomes guests with a variety of plants in a flower bed Reid designed but also some giant hostas next to a side porch, one of several porches on the home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It took us four years to get to this point,â&#x20AC;? said Reid pragmatically, as she listed the challenges the couple has faced from drought to removing river rocks that once edged a pool.

Their favourite spots include â&#x20AC;&#x153;their oasisâ&#x20AC;? by their pond and the back porch, where they like to just sit and enjoy the view and share it with guests.

A dawn redwood tree, not often seen in this region, that was started from seed, takes up one corner of their

garden. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of these plants have sentimental value so I take them wherever I go,â&#x20AC;? said Reid, referring to the many moves she has done over the years.

The couple spent their working life in Toronto and now they are â&#x20AC;&#x153;semiretired.â&#x20AC;?

Szudy directed live sporting events for 27 years, (NHL, football, baseball and eight Olympics) for The Sports Network.

Reid managed the City TV newsroom for 30 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the garden comes up on its own and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a matter of weeding

and deadheading,â&#x20AC;? commented Reid as she looked out at the garden which has come into full bloom recently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am just hoping thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something blooming when people come by,â&#x20AC;? she said with a grin.

The other gardens on the tour include the home of Phyllis Leger in

June has been a deadly month on the roads according to OPP

News - Orillia - The OPP has reported that 27 people have died on OPP-patrolled roads since the beginning of June (2015) and that the same poor driver behaviours were behind the majority of the deaths.

The 27 deaths were the result of 23 road collisions that occurred between June 1 and 21.

Four of the collisions involved double fatalities and one of the crashes resulted in the deaths of two motorcyclists.

Two other fatal collisions in June led to the OPP charging two drivers with impaired causing death. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These senseless road deaths are revealing the same causal fac-

tors over and over again. Until all drivers stop speeding, driving impaired or distracted and ensure that everyone in their vehicle is buckled in, history will continue to repeat itself and innocent people will continue to die on our roads,â&#x20AC;? said OPP Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair, provincial commander, traffic safety and operational support.

The fatal collisions in June to date push the total number of road deaths (on OPP-patrolled roads) up to 124.

With summer now officially under way, the OPP is urging all drivers to take Ontario traffic laws seriously and to recognize that they

play a significant role in preventing these categories of collisions and deaths from occurring. All road users play a role in saving lives.  The OPP is encouraging passengers to speak up when being driven by someone who is using their cell phone or engaged in some other distracting activity behind the wheel. They are putting your life at risk.

Whether you are a driver, a passenger, a cyclist or a pedestrian, call 9-1-1 if you suspect that someone is driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. By doing so, you could be preventing more deaths on Ontario roads.

News - Campbellford - A “group of seven” artists has been getting together for eight years now to share their passion: art.

One of those artists, Bev Malonie of Wingfield Road, hosts a garden party every year in June to celebrate their completed works of art with family and friends.

Their friendships like their art, has grown exponentially over the years.

“Painting is something I never thought I could do, so to me it’s like a real challenge because I have no real training in art … I just wing it,” said Malonie with a grin.

“What today is all about is all the year’s work we’ve done. We bring it here to display,” she added.

Fay Strang is another of the artists.

“I like to do animals and harlequins,” she commented. “Oh and I like to paint

monks too. I see them as the universal man.” She likes to draw and said she only paints with acrylics “under duress.” She brought an album with her of her drawings to show everyone.

Artist Barb Sullivan enjoys painting felines.

“I have fun painting cats,” she said while holding a painting of a multicoloured striped cat.

“I get my ideas from Pinterest,” she said enthusiastically.

Pinterest is a free website that requires registration to use. Users can upload, save, sort, and manage images–known as pins– and other media content (e.g., videos and images) through collections known as pinboards.

“I really enjoy coming here every Monday. We have a great time together,” she commented.

Fellow artist Glenis Buchanan said she has been doing a variety of art pieces.

“I’ve been doing other crafts including Fairy Godmother dolls [a Disney creation] and a little bit of painting,” she said. She brought with her a painting she had done of Marie-Josée Lord, a well known soprano singer who has performed at Westben.

“I’m going to donate this painting to Westben,” she noted.

fashion, said, “I do a little bit of everything.

“I like drawing gowns and doing certain styles of dresses … I enjoy that. I am also doing some watercolour paintings.”

Artist Nellie Van Dyk has painted dogs and tigers in the past.

“I do animals mostly … including birds.” She also enjoys creating cards embellished

with her artwork.

Kathy McCarthy, the seventh member of the original group has moved away but she did return for the annual June garden event this year.

“We usually have 70 to 80 people throughout the day come by,” noted Malonie whose dining room table is filled with delectable dishes that are enjoyed by guests that day.

By Stephen Petrick

Events - Belleville - There’s no shortage of things going on at West Zwick’s Island Park this summer. Fresh off of Canada Day celebrations, there will be a Sports Expo on July 3 and then Pride in the Park on July 4.

And just days later the park will be the site of the largest festival of all, the Belleville Waterfront and Ethnic Festival, from Thursday, July 9, to Sunday, July 12.

Despite a growing number of marquee summer events that compete for residents’ and tour-

Waterfront and Ethnic Festival returns

ists’ attention, the Waterfront Festival remains a flagship event for Belleville, one with incredible support from sponsors and a lengthy lineup of activities.

This festival has now existed for 31 years and among the keys to its longevity is the fact that there’s no cost to enter and organizers work tirelessly to come up with different features and musical acts every year.

“Keep it fresh,” is the slogan used

by Belleville and District Chamber of Commerce CEO Bill Saunders and Special Events Co-ordinator Susan Walsh, as they prepare for the event each year.

While Waterfront started as a city-run festival, organizing duties were handed over to the chamber in 2007. Since that time, chamber staff have worked hard to secure corporate sponsors and keep it as an annual tradition.

“We like to think it’s gotten to a

point where people mark it on their calendar because they know it’s coming,” said Walsh.

Sixty-two different organizations are listed as sponsors on the event’s brochure and another eight organizations are thanked for contributing staff or volunteers to help. The lineup of events and attractions is even longer.

The festival starts at 1 p.m. on Thursday, July 9. Rock band Treble Charger will headline a Canadian Indie Music Festival that night, taking the pavilion stage at 9:45 p.m. Several local bands will appear on stage earlier, including FM Reset and Rye and Silence.

The music on Friday will have a country theme and featured acts include Heather Ballentine at 5:30 p.m. and Donna Huber and Adam Tucker at 9 p.m.

Saturday’s acts feature a variety of performances. The Quinte Ballet

School of Canada starts things off at 12:30 p.m. and music continues through the day leading up to a performance by Michael Jackson tribute artist Bishop Soul at 9:30 p.m.

Several local acts will take the stage on Sunday, with a rock concert that starts at 2 p.m. The lineup includes Ed’s Garage and The Far Side, and a reunion of the local band Photograph.

Throughout the four days, there will be a Children’s Village, the Ethnic Food Village and the midway.

“It’s literally four jam-packed days of entertainment,” said Walsh.

While the festival requires a lot of work–chamber staff start securing acts for it nine months in advance– Walsh and Saunders said it’s important because it attracts tourists to Belleville and creates economic spinoffs that benefit local businesses.

Usually, the event draws 37,000 to 40,000 people. In 2013, the chamber

hired an outside company to study the economic impact of the festival and found that the festival brings in about $750,000 to the Belleville region and close to $2 million to the broader region. And then, there’s the immeasurable benefits, Saunders pointed out.

“To showcase Belleville’s waterfront and the parks … you can’t put a dollar value on that,” he said.

There’s no cost to enter Zwick’s for the festival, however, parking is $3 and there will be costs to purchase food from vendors or access some activities. Free shuttle buses are also being offered to take people to and from the festival. The buses will run from the Pinnacle Street Terminal (behind City Hall) and the Bank of Montreal (at Bridge Street East and Front Street).

Entertainment - Havelock - The Havelock Country Jamboree’s popular Best Seats in the House VIP Package fundraiser kicks off July 6 when the online auction opens up. The fundraiser in support of the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation is in its fourth year and gives music fans an unmatchable up-close-and-personal seat to see their favourite entertainers at the Havelock Jamboree August 13 to 16.

The seats located in front of the famous twin stages are donated by Jamboree owners Ed Leslie and Paula Chopik with the support of the performers who will appear on stage at the 26th annual four-day country music and camping festival.

Leslie and Chopik were honoured this year by the Country Music Association of Ontario with its prestigious Impact Award.

Last year’s Best Seats auction raised over $13,000 for cancer diagnostic equipment at the hospital. Once again, the auction will help raise funds for critical cancer diagnostics.

This year’s secure on-line auction features four days of bidding for the Best Seats in the House VIP Package.

The 2015 VIP Package has been enhanced and now includes two best seats for every performance (transferrable), two weekend passes to the Jamboree, all performer meet-and-greet opportunities as well as a helicopter ride for two and a backstage tour.

“The idea for the VIP package came from previous Best Seats winners who always fall in love with the seats the first time they sit in them and try to attend as many of the performances as possible,”

Enjoying a Budapest Folklore Concert and Danube River cruise

Performers in the Folklore Concert in Budapest’s Danube Palace.

By John M. Smith

Lifestyles - While in the beautiful city of Budapest, Hungary, I had the good fortune of taking in a Folklore Concert one evening, and this was followed by a dinner cruise on the Danube. What a great way to get an overview of the music, costumes and traditional dances of Hungary, along with a romantic, panoramic view of the brightly lit city at night.

My excursion started at the Danube Palace (Duna Palota), where the Folklore Concert began at 8 p.m., and this building was worth a visit in itself; after all, the Danube Palace, formerly the Casino of Lipotvaros, was built between 1883 and 1885 in a Neo-Baroque architectural style, and it has hosted many concerts and exhibitions. I simply enjoyed gazing at the beautiful theatre and its many wall murals until the lights dimmed and the show began.

I watched as the musicians and dancers of the Rajko Folk Ensemble and Orchestra presented many traditional Hungarian numbers in a show that lasted almost two hours (with one intermission). There was a great range in their musical repertoire, from classical to folk, and a wonderful selection of costumes in the energized, skilled dance presentations.

After the show, I was escorted, along with several other theatregoers, on about a five-minute walk to the boat which was waiting at the dock. Once aboard and assigned to my particular table, I was given a glass of champagne and was able to enjoy a candlelit buffet dinner while the boat cruised along the Danube, amid the spectacular, brightly lit city that was visible from both sides; the Danube conveniently bisects the city’s two sides, Buda and Pest.

The meal was delicious and hot, but a little late for my liking, after all, it was about 10:30 p.m. However, it

FRANKLIN COACH & TOURS

seems to be a tradition here to dine quite late in the evening, and a lot of food quickly disappeared from the buffet table.

Along with the lateness of the hour, the other “difficulty” I ran into with the dinner was simply the beauty of the region through which the cruise was taking me. I simply was anxious to start taking photos of what I was passing by, so I soon found myself ascending to the open upper deck of the boat.

It was a pleasant, warm evening for a cruise, and I was enjoying taking camera shot after camera shot, from both sides of the boat. After all, one of the great advantages of a digital camera is the wonderful ability to take many photos and then simply delete the poor ones later, without the cost of developing films.

One of the most breathtaking views of the cruise has to be the Buda Castle District, for here I saw the whitestoned, castle-like Fishermen’s Bastion with its seven towers, the Royal Palace, and the graceful tower of the Matthias Church all lit up high above me in the distance; this led me, of course, to want to visit this particular area on foot the next day. I also passed Margaret Island where many joggers regularly “do their thing,” and I saw the gigantic Budapest Parliament building, which seems to dominate the Pest side of the river.

Other eye-popping encounters along the watery route included the spectacularly lit Gellert Hill (with its Statue of Liberty, Cave Church, and Citadel), Chain Bridge (the oldest bridge linking the two sides), Gresham Place (now a luxury hotel), St. Stephen’s Basilica (the city’s largest church), and the National Theatre.

While dining, photographing, and talking, I learned that several cruising packages are available in Budapest, at varying prices; check these out at

<www.ticket.info.hu>, and some are combined with a Folklore Concert as mine was. If you prefer, you can take just the cruise (without dinner), or you can take a sunset cruise departing at 7 p.m., with live music on board, or you can choose a lunch cruise which departs at 2 p.m.

My particular package served my purposes best, both for the cultural aspects and the photography. The cruise itself lasted about an hour and a half, so

Passing Budapest’s Parliament Building at night on the cruise.

A section of Buda Castle.

I arrived back at the dock in Budapest about 11:30 p.m., and I’d previously discovered that the last subway to my destination left at just after 11 p.m.

Therefore, I asked one of the cruise personnel to have a taxi waiting for me at the dock. In fact, I’d actually been advised to do this, for the taxi that awaited me was both reliable and reasonably priced, and this would not necessarily be the case if I tried to do this on my own as a tourist.

Mental health centre working to help clients News - Campbellford â&#x20AC;&#x153;Connecting mental health care to our community through innovation and excellence,â&#x20AC;? is the vision of the Campbellford and District Community Mental Health

â&#x20AC;&#x153;All referrals are assessed individually and prioritized based on need; our current wait list consists of 25 people,â&#x20AC;? she added.

Campbellford has the largest population in the area served by the centre and so it has the largest number of clients, 38 per cent in the catchment area. Havelock is at 12 per cent, Hastings 11 per cent, Marmora and Warkworth at eight per cent, Norwood four per cent and Brighton at three per cent. The remaining 16 per cent is from the surrounding area.

She noted that people in Campbellford can get to the centre easily which may be also why the numbers here are higher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will do some home visits and risk assessment to make sure it is okay to send staff out but transportation is a big part of the equation,â&#x20AC;? she commented. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people in Norwood and Havelock donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here,â&#x20AC;? she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our mission is to empower our clients, their families and caregivers to understand and cope with the challenges of serious mental illness and improve the quality of their lives,â&#x20AC;? McKelvie explained.

All services are free and confidential.

McKelvie also pointed out that CMH has an agreement with Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences which includes arrangements for an onsite (biweekly) clinical manager who provides

consultation and supervision to the clinicians.

As well The Mental Health Centre uses OTN to facilitate consultations for clients with psychiatrists based at Peterborough Regional Health Centre, the Centre for Addictions & Mental Health, and Ontario Shores.

The centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals for the future include increasing group programming in an attempt to reduce wait

times for service, continued professional development of staff and the planning of events to raise awareness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to destigmatize mental health issues and encourage people to talk and not discriminate,â&#x20AC;? said McKelvie.

Centre said Jennifer McKelvie, case worker/crisis worker. She was making a presentation to the Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH) board at a recent meeting and was asked if stigma is a barrier to accessing support from

the centre.

She said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes. But it is getting less and less because it is being talked about in the media and our awareness campaign is getting the point out there.â&#x20AC;?

She told the board that the most common forms of mental illness she and staff see at the centre are mood disorders (major depression, bi-polar disorder), followed by anxiety disorders (generalized anxiety disorder, post traumatic stress disorder).

McKelvie provides counselling and therapy case management advocacy and support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can screen for mental illness but I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t diagnose.

That is done by a physician psychologist or psychiatrist,â&#x20AC;? she noted.

The centre has 305 active clients as of June 1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our current wait list is approximately three to four months for non-urgent referrals,â&#x20AC;? she told the board.

People can self-refer or be referred by their family physician or other health care professional. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We encourage people to call and set up an appointment Jennifer McKelvie, case worker/crisis worker with the Campbellford and District Community Mental Health Centre, made a presentation at a recent hospital board meeting which we can do usually within a few days,â&#x20AC;? she said. here about what the centre does.

If you suspect elder abuse, take action, health workers urge

By Stephen Petrick

News - Belleville - Elder abuse used to be an issue many knew about, but few wanted to talk about.

Thankfully, says a Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) manager who works on the topic, that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. Today there’s a much greater awareness of the need to report elder abuse and more resources that victims and their supporters can access than there were a decade ago.

It’s one message health workers, such as Carole Park, are trying to get out; Monday, June 15, was recognized as the tenth annual World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. “It used to be the elephant in the room,” said Park, a South East CCAC client services manager and chair of a local committee that discusses how to prevent elder abuse. “People would suspect it, but not want to ask.”

In an interview at the Belleville CCAC office, Park, along with Communications Manager Gary Buffett, stressed the people should take action if they are a victim or suspect to know someone who’s a victim of elder abuse.

They recommend people call the confidential Elder Abuse Prevention Support Line at 1-855-542-1336. The people who answer may be able to confirm the caller’s suspicions and direct them to the appropriate resources to help.

Everyday citizens can also play a role in preventing abuse, Park said, by taking action when they suspect something is not right with a senior they know. For instance, if you have an elderly neighbour you see every day in their yard and then suddenly stop seeing, it can’t hurt to knock on their door

to check on them.

“If something doesn’t seem right, just drop by and ask if everything is okay,” she said, adding that people also have the option of calling police to request that they do a check-in.

There are several types of elder abuse, but Park and Buffet said that, by far, the most common type the CCAC sees is financial abuse.

This could involve the son or daughter of a senior encouraging–or perhaps even bullying–them to sign over power of attorney privileges to them even though the senior doesn’t want to.

Sometimes, Park says, the CCAC learns of cases where an elderly person who has health needs and should be living in a long-term-care home, is living with their son or daughter because they need their parent’s money.

Solving these types of problems requires several people to take action.

She said health care workers who may visit the senior in the home should look for signs something is not right. If the senior seems uncomfortable around the person who’s supposedly the caregiver (maybe they don’t make eye contact), it’s a sign that something may not be right.

Elder abuse can also come in the form of physical abuse, emotional abuse or neglect, and even sexual abuse, Park said. She said she does not see as many cases of this type of abuse, but that doesn’t mean they don’t happen here. It may be that they’re not being reported, she fears.

Park’s job involves connecting CCAC clients with area long-termcare homes. As that work naturally allows her to work with seniors, she was a fitting choice to represent the CCAC on a committee called Prevention of

Carole Park, a South East CCAC client services manager, holds up an ad that shows the Elder Abuse Prevention Support Line, while CCAC Communications Manager Gary Buffet shows the Family Caregiver Newsmagazine, which was published recently with information on how to stop elder abuse.

Elder Abuse Network (PEAN). The committee has representatives from government organizations, Belleville Police, OPP and other organizations that work closely with seniors.

The group meets quarterly and members share information and discusses ways they can all work together to prevent elder abuse.

One of its successful projects is

called the 72-Hour Stopover. Now, when a person is strongly believed to be a victim of elder abuse, they can, if they’re willing, move to a new, undisclosed location for three nights to get away from the abuser and potentially into the care of another relative or friend who’s better suited to look after them. This type of action may need the involvement of police.

These situations are stressful on everyone, Park said. But the good news is that there’s a broad health care system full of people who care and will work hard to ensure the senior gets the care and support they need.

“When situations like this happen, everyone is giving 100 per cent to preserve the dignity of the person,” she said. “They can feel so helpless.”
