Belleville – It was an extraordinary weekend of fundraising fun.

Five big fundraising events took place in the city on the weekend of Sept. 16-17, which benefited from great late summer weather and spirited turnouts.

And these events, combined, were projected to raise more than $350,000.

Rock starts showed up at the Sears Atrium to support Belleville General Hospital, dogs waged their tails with their owners through the Quinte Humane Society’s Wiggle Waggle Walkathon. And people even jogged through Zwick’s Island Park wearing ties – yes neck ties – for The Children’s Foundation’s Ken Sykes Kommunities Ties Walk/Run Here are more details on each event.

BGHF gala Every year the Belleville General Hospital Foundation holds a spirited gala dinner to raise funds for special hospital equipment – the type that’s not funded by the provincial government.

Every year there’s a fun theme to the event and this year’s was Legends of Rock.

Supporters – dressed as ZZ Top, among other notables – packed the Sears Atrium for the Saturday night event. Tickets were $200 a plate. The

West Nile mosquitoes found in Belleville Belleville – Mosquitoes carrying West Nile Virus have once again been found in the Belleville area, Hastings Prince Edward Public Health says.

Evidence of the virus was identified as part of a regular surveillance program run by the health unit.

Traps were recently set at 17 locations, including Bancroft, Belleville, Bloomfield, Stirling and Quinte West.

The first WNv positive pool was found in Belleville in late July.

To date there have been a total of 13 positive pools identified, which include traps that presented positive multiple times.

WNv is an infection found in birds, and carried by mosquitoes which feed on infected birds. WNv is spread to humans and animals through bites by infected mosquitoes.

Early symptoms of WNv can include fever, muscle weakness, stiff neck, confusion, severe headache,

sudden sensitivity to light, tremors, numbness, or vision loss.

The majority of infected individuals have mild symptoms or none at all. In severe cases, WNv can cause inflammation of the brain known as encephalitis. If individuals believe they are experiencing early symptoms of WNv, they are encouraged to contact their primary care provider.

“Mosquitoes that may be carrying WNv typically will appear in July, peak in numbers by mid-August, and decline significantly by the end of August”, says Andrew Landy, Senior Public Health Inspector.

“It is during these times that we recommend that residents be most diligent about protecting themselves and their family. The recent finding of local mosquitoes carrying WNv serves as a reminder to take precautions to prevent bites and reduce breeding sites.”

Mom in tears upon receiving keys to Habitat for Humanity home

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – A single mother of four kids fought through tears as she thanked people who helped build her new Habitat for Humanity home.

“Without you, this wouldn’t be happening,” said Lynn Bassett, looking out at dozens of volunteers and sponsors. “Now me and my kids have a safe place to call home.”

Bassett and her children, Brett, Cassie, Hailey and Trent, moved into the home at 125 Donald St. in central Belleville following the Friday, Sept. 15 ceremony.

The move-in ceremony, like all Habitat for Humanity ceremonies, featured several tearjerking speeches and symbolic presentations of items such as bread, salt, flowers and wine.

But it was Bassett’s moving words, toward the end of the hour-long ceremony in stifling heat, that stirred emotions the most.

“I want to thank everyone for being here, it means a lot,” she said, before taking a long pause to catch her breath and fight off tears. After a round of applause from the audience, she said, “These are the kinds of memories we’re going to have forever.”

She spoke about how the family dog, CJ, will now have a backyard. “We haven’t had grass in almost seven years,” she said.

She also said earning the right to own a Habitat for Humanity-built home is like a dream come true.

“There were so many days where I wanted to pinch myself to see if this was real,” she said.

“And now here we are.”

Habitat for Humanity Prince Edward-Hastings board vice-chair Jill Raycroft presented Bassett the keys and commended her for her work on the house, which took place over the last six months. Youngest son Trent then cut a ribbon over the door and the family disappeared inside.

Earlier in the ceremony, Habitat executive director Bob Clute clarified some still-circulating myths about how the organization works.

Habitat for Humanity does not give away homes, he stressed. The owner – who is only chosen through a lengthy applications process – purchases the home at “fair-market value.”

But no down payment is necessary and there is no interest in the mortgage. The owner must put in 500 “sweat equity” hours during the construction phase, too.

“I can tell you Lynn has done far more than 500 hours,” Clute said.

Habitat for Humanity can keep the costs associated with each build low because of the donations of material and labour it receives.

Several members of CFB Trenton were on hand to bask in the celebration, as Canadian Forces’ members have a long history of supporting Habitat projects.

Clute also noted that volunteers for this project came from the United States and even Ireland to contribute. The home is considered part

OPINION

The Car Revolution France and the United Kingdom recently announced that they will ban the sales of gasoline and diesel-engined cars from 2040. The lower house of the Dutch parliament has passed a law banning such sales 2025. India says it Gwynne Dyer from will institute a similar ban by 2030.

China, the world’s largest producer of cars – 28 million vehicles last year, more than the United States, Japan and Germany combined – is also planning to declare a ban soon, but is still working on the cut-off date. And in November the European Commission is going to debate a minimum annual quota of electric vehicles (EVs) for all European car producers.

So if you were looking for a safe place for a long-term investment, would you choose the oil industry?

Just over half of the 98 million barrels of oil produced in the world each day goes directly to making gasoline, used almost exclusively in motor vehicles. Another 15 percent goes to make “distillate fuel oil”, of which at least half is diesel fuel. So around 58 percent of total world oil production is being used in vehicles now. There may be almost none in 35 years’ time.

That is certainly the intention of many governments. Britain, for example, is planning to allow only zero-emission vehicles on the road (apart form a few specially-licensed vintage cars) by 2050, only ten years after the ban on selling new cars with internal combustion engines comes into affect.

So the production of gasoline- or dieselengined cars will already have collapsed by the late 2030s. In practice, if these deadlines are observed, the cars on sale will be almost entirely EVs by the mid-2030s. And what’s left of the oil industry will have a different shape.

Countries that export most of their oil, like Russia and Saudi Arabia, will find their incomes crashing for two reasons: sheer lack of demand, and very low prices ($40 per barrel or less) due to the huge glut of productive capacity. There may also be follow-on political consequences.

Countries with some oil production of their own, like the United States and China, may simply stop importing oil entirely. (The United States will remain in the last ditch federally so long as Donald Trump is president – he’s even trying to revive the coal industry – but eight states have already signed an agreement

Church project set in stone

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – People can be seen in the steeple at St. Michael’s Archangel Church this fall, as the Belleville landmark is undergoing extensive repairs.

Sixteen levels of scaffolding have been set up for stone mason workers who will work on the project through November.

The project is costing the church about $600,000, but it’s “absolutely necessary,” said the pastor, Father Richard Whalen.

“The height of the tower with its impressive spire makes for a truly breathtaking landmark, but unfortunately means that there is a huge weight of stone constantly pressing down on the mortar joints,” he said.

“The stone is limestone and it can be brittle and split under the pressure of weight and the infiltration of moisture, especially if that moisture freezes and constantly thaws.”

The church, at the top of the Church Street hill across from Nicholson Catholic College, is no doubt a Belleville landmark as it can be seen from almost anywhere in the downtown area. The steeple is also steep in history.

The tower was constructed in 1887 and was restored after a fire gutted the church in 1904. It underwent repairs several other times through the last century and the parish realized it was due for repairs again.

“To leave the building in its present state without the repairs would have meant even more serious remedial work in the future,” Whalen added.

“The finance council of St. Michael's parish decided to take action and hire a stone masonry company to replace stones that were broken, replace mortar joints which had fallen out, while at the same time adding more mortar in places which had been inadequately treated in previous renovations.”

Upper Canada Stone, a Kingstonbased company, was selected for the work after a tender submission drew three companies. Upper Canada Stone has completed several other similar projects in the region, including work on Kingston’s equally iconic Sydenham United Church.

The project is costly, because the work is taking place along all four sides of the church. The debt is being shouldered by the parish community of about 1,200 families, Whalen said.

“Of course, there will be some fundraising events to help meet the cost of the repairs. Any outside support would be graciously and thankfully welcomed,” he added.

Whalen believes that the church is an important landmark to all Bellevillians, whether Catholic or not. It was built to “point to the heavens” and serve as a reminder to churchgoers that “God is watching over us,” he said.

Integrity commissioner plan clears first reading at Belleville council

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – City council has voted to support the adoption of an integrity commissioner, a move that gives citizens more opportunity to hold elected officials to their responsibilities and inquire about perceived conflicts of interest.

The motion was put forward by Coun.

Mitch Panciuk at the end of a lengthy council meeting Sept. 11 and passed on first reading.

When the vote was called, it passed quickly with no request for a recorded vote. There are more steps before the city adopts the notion of an integrity commissioner, however.

The appointment of the integrity commissioner, Panciuk, said, will help Belleville be prepared for pending changes to the way municipalities do business, as a result of the recent passing of Bill 68 to modernize the Municipal Act and the Ontario Municipal Conflict of Interest Act. He said numerous other Ontario municipalities have integrity commissioners now.

Citizens can go to them with complaints about an elected official, if he or she is perceived to be breaking rules that bind municipal officials. Coun. Mitch Panciuk speaks at the Sept. 11 The commissioner can then investigate those meeting. Stephen Petrick/Metroland actions and dismiss them or find a solution, he said.

The motion, in part read, “the Council of the City of Belleville strongly supports the highest ethical behavior and adherence to all applicable legislation of our members of council and local boards of the municipality.”

With the motion passing, city staff can now begin the search for a commissioner, but it’s unlikely that a person will be appointed to solely work for Belleville, Panciuk said. After the motion for first reading, the proposal will now be forwarded for a solicitor’s review and a notice to public members on city boards.

Panciuk said he believes the city will likely appoint someone who’s retained by the hour, similar to how the city funds its “closed meeting investigator.” It could be a person who already works for several municipalities.

He said Bill 68 is a “tough Act” but it ultimately provides “an opportunity for the public to seek justice.”

While speaking to council, Panciuk, a staunch opponent of Mayor Taso Christopher, didn’t bring up the fact that Christopher was recently taken to a Superior Court in Kingston by a citizen to address conflict of interest charges.

But, following the meeting, when reporters asked if that NEWSPAPER RETRACTION FOR THE BEST BUY SEPTEMBER 15TH CORPORATE FLYER court case influenced his decision to bring the motion forApple iPhone 6s with Rogers on Select 2-Year ward, he acknowledged that it had some impact.

Plans: In the September 15th flyer, page 9, Had an integrity commissioner been in place then the the Apple iPhone 6s with Rogers on Select 2-Year Plans (Web Code: 10484341/ 2/ 3/ 4) issue could have been handled much quicker, Panciuk said, was advertised with an incorrect savings claim. and it might have resulted in the city not having to pay for Please note that the savings for this product on the mayor’s legal expenses. this plan is $70.

Belleville’s A&W – a part of the fabric of the community – celebrating its 15th anniversary

By Vic Schukov

B

orn in Toronto, Bryan Rhodes came to Belleville when he was seven years old because his parents wanted to be closer to his paternal grandparents. Thirty- ive years later, Bryan has grown into a model citizen.

After attending local Susanna Moodie Elementary School, Bryan diligently worked part time while at Bayside High School. “I started out as bag boy in a grocery store in what is now called Bellfront Shopping Plaza. Then, it was called Plaza Loeb, but I always call it the A&W Plaza,” he laughed.

“I went from clerk to the produce department, and met my future wife Melissa there. We both got into management, so when Price Chopper opened in Trenton, Melissa went as deli manager and I went as produce manager, like a tag. For eight years after that, I ran a pizza place in Quinte Mall with my mother-in-law.”

In 1998, Bryan completed a very useful diploma in accounting from Loyalist College. In 2001, he noticed a sign in the location of the present A&W restaurant, looking for a franchisee. “At that time, A&Ws were in malls, not free-standing. They were

starting to come out. We opened in October 3, 2002 and will be celebrating 15 years. I love it. I have seen a lot of kids grow up, come, and go.”

Bryan is a considerate, hands-on owner with a great management team. Manager Sarah Byrd and Loraine Saumier, front end morning supervisor, have been with him all 15 years, and front end manager Holly Meredith is in her 10th year.

The secret to his success is simple.

“You have to treat your employees right, and be organized. The biggest challenge is to stay competitive while giving great customer service and a great product. I have always been part of the community, giving back. We do the Fireman’s Toy Drive, and help the Humane Society and Cancer charities. MS is A&W’s national charity.” Every Tuesday night from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., summer until October weather permitting, more than 150 vintage cars stage a cruise night in the parking lot, raising money for charity. There is that historical aspect to the famous restaurant chain.

“A&W holds a lot of nostalgia back in the ’70s with the car hops.

They kind of disappeared in the 1980s because fast food arrived.

A&W was not fast food in those

days. You pulled your car up, licked your lights, and it could take a half hour to get your meal. A&W reinvented itself, becoming successful in malls.”

According to Bryan, the product has always been of high quality food, no hormones and steroidfree, sourcing the healthiest products from top beef ranchers.

Even their classic root beer has just gone to natural cane sugar. With the popularity of their chicken and veggie burgers, their Bryan Rhodes, Owner of the Belleville A&W standing with his staff ready to celebrate their 15th anniversary

menu has something for everyone.

A&W is the fastest growing quick service restaurant chain in Canada, with close to 900 outlets.

In his Belleville restaurant, the affable Bryan has fostered a community within a community. “We call it the A&W family. I have a lot of long-term, super dedicated employees. Even those who came for the years while in high school, come back during their university summers. I am honoured to have people work with me in a team effort of dedication second to none.

I enjoy the customers because we have so many regulars. When they come in now most my cashiers know what they want to order. We see a lot of friendly faces. Today is my day off and I’m here helping out a bit. When I’m bored, I hang out at the store. The managers sometime kick me out because I distract them talking about sports,” he smiled.

The Belleville franchise is in the top 10 per cent in sales in Canada.

“Belleville has accepted us. People

love our small town atmosphere, and I try to help out the community as much as we can. Our next charity is the Toy Drive after Halloween. Every year, we come out with a Christmas ornament whose proceeds go to the iremen. This year we are selling raf le tickets along with and a big Toronto Maple Leaf memorabilia auction.”

Bryan’s youthful enthusiasm makes him appear not unlike the cheerful bear mascot, but his noblest human characteristic is his sense of appreciation. “The biggest thing is that I would like to thank all of my employees over the years who helped us become successful. I want to thank the community. We just signed for another 10 years, so Bellville has us for another decade.”

In honour of the 15th anniversary, September 29th and 30th and October 1st is Customer Appreciation Weekend. Events include burger sales, tickets to upcoming Belleville Senators games, plus $100 gift cards – ive a day in random draws.

Happy 15th anniversary, Bryan! Here’s looking forward to the 25th.

Food Bank expansion allowing for better service

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – An 800-square-foot expansion of Gleaners Food Bank’s Wallbridge Crescent location is allowing for better service. It’s also providing a more welcome and inviting atmosphere for clients.

“They have space,” said Gleaners director Susanne Quinlan, looking around the new front lobby. “There’s a bit of dignity that comes with that … The clients like it.”

The expansion was completed in the spring and made possible, largely, through a Parrott Foundation grant.

Now clients who visit to receive food don’t have to cram around a tight front lobby. The addition looks like the waiting area of a doctor’s clinic and it provides plenty of space to sit and socialize. There’s also a flat-screen television, donated by Red Ball Radio, that will serve as a communications board.

The board will advertise services that may be a benefit to regular Gleaners clients, such as health clinics by the Belleville-Quinte West Community Health Centre.

The expansion has also allowed for a new office that will serve “community outreach” programs, Quinlan

explained. For instance, it can be used

by Hastings Prince Edward Public Health staff to offer dental clinics or smoking cessation programs. The health unit expects to begin offering these programs in September The food bank hopes to make further upgrades, soon, and plans on applying for an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant to expand its cafeteria space.

The upgrades are needed, as Gleaners continues to see a high demand to service, owing to the region’s poor ranking in food security standards.

A health unit study from 2014 showed that one in nine households in the Hastings-Prince Edward region lacked the income to purchase healthy food, meaning the region had the second highest level of food insecurity in Ontario.

In 2016, Gleaners distributed food to 2,943 families. That included 10,311 adults, 5,748 children, 414 seniors and 299 Loyalist College students.

The food bank gave out a total of 7,303 food hampers that year.

Quinlan said that the food bank typically sees about 90 visitors a day, thus the need for the larger waiting room. “A slow day used to be 10 people for us. A slow day now is up to 25 people,” she said.

New ownership group has new hopes for former Bel Marine

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – A new ownership group is hoping for a January reopening of the building once known as the Bel Marine Retirement Residence.

And a spokesperson for that group says the sad history of the building won’t be repeated, as the building is being thoroughly repaired and will be brought up to meet building and fire codes.

“It has a sad story, it has a stigma,” said Alexis Kofman, an owner of the company B.I.G. Renovation and Design, which is overseeing the work. “Now it’s up to the community to make a conscious choice to start over.”

Kofman said she represents “a series of owners” who own the property, under the legal entity MLAM Properties2 Inc. She’s also well aware of the Bel Marine’s back story.

The 228 Dundas St. E. building that was shut down by the city last February when a negligent landlord failed to address work orders leading to building code and fire code violations. Several social agencies scrambled to relocate about 50 tenants still living in the decrepit building.

Kofman said the new ownership group is not tied to the previous owners in any way. In fact, she said when the new group purchased the building — at a price of about $4 million — part of the terms of the deal included a complete severance of the past ownership group.

The building is expected to reopen under the name Bel Mar House and it will continue to serve as a long-term retirement care facility for seniors.

When asked why new owners didn’t completely rebrand the building, Kofman said the group liked how the “Bel” represented “Belleville” and one of the owners involved has the name “Martin.”

She said there should be no reason to worry that a similar-sounding name will evoke past perceptions of the building.

“I think it’s important that the community realizes it wasn’t the name that had the problem. It was a series of choices that were made (by the previous ownership group.)”

Kofman acknowledged that the past owners let the building dwindle into a terrible state. The building is undergoing a $3 million renovation to get units back on the market. When the building was purchased, the new group inherited those building code violations and have a responsibility to fix them.

“The building was definitely in terrible condition — there’s no sugar coating the current condition of the property,” she said, explaining that crews are now working to fix issues related to mould, asbestos and water.

But, when complete, the building is expected to have 66 fully furnished units. The building will offer single and couple accommodation, Kofman said. The plan is to also have meal services, nursing care and security on the property. She said it will be “state of the art.”

Kofman also said the plan is to have 40 per cent of the units available through subsidized living programs, and the remaining 60 per cent will be for those who have the means to pay full value.

The subsidized units will be priced in the $800 to $900 per-month range and the non-subsidized units will be in the $1,400 to $1,600 per-month range.

The company is in the pre-marking stage now and agents are beginning to build sales packages.

The group is also planning to hold a media event on Sept. 27, in the interest of being transparent, and showing the community that work is underway.

Kofman said the new ownership group is a for-profit group, but it also sees the importance of social programs and will work with local social agencies to find tenants for the building.

While the structure of the building will remain the same, it will be almost entirely new on the inside, Kofman said.

Yet, despite all the interior work that was needed, the new owners saw an opportunity with the current building.

When asked why they didn’t build a new building entirely, she said, “there’s really nothing wrong with the structure

of the property,” she said. “It’s never a good business decision to destroy something that has a future.”

The Bel Mar building represents one of three buildings the group hopes to soon fill in Belleville.

The same investors, Kofman said, have a property at 431 Dundas St. that they hope to redevelop using the existing structure and transform into social housing.

They also have plans for a 100-unit adult living condo at an undisclosed location.

She said the owners realize there’s

great potential for housing in Belleville, with many people choosing to leave the Greater Toronto Area and move east for more affordable options.

They’re also aware that there’s a particular need to offer housing to people on social assistance and that buildings such as former Bel-Marine played a role in that; a role that must continue — just under better management.

“We want to support that community in any way we can,” said Kofman.

Soccer Club unveils new logo

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – As it gets ready for its 50th season, the Belleville Soccer Club is going with a new look.

The club unveiled a new logo and new jerseys at a launch party at the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre on Tuesday, Sept. 12.

The club was formally known as the Belleville Youth Soccer Club, but is dropping the word “youth.” It is also abandoning the team nickname, Comets, used for rep-level teams.

Now all teams in the organization will be part of one unified Belleville Soccer Club, and players will don the new sharp black and red logo,

Cristina Seffini of the Belleville Soccer Club shows off the club’s new logo at a launch event at the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre on Sept. 12.

which recognizes the club’s debut year of 1968.

Teams will wear red jerseys with black shorts. A secondary grey jersey will also be used for when there are colour conflicts.

“It’s time to move forward,” said club president Scott Foley at the event, as the logo and jerseys were unveiled in front of dozens of club members and supporters. “It’s now the Belleville Soccer Club.”

The club will celebrate its 50th anniversary when outdoor play resumes in the spring. It’s now getting ready for the indoor season.

Low registration numbers means no bantam house league for BMHA

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – The declining number of teenagers in the city isn’t just closing a high school, it’s also impacting minor hockey.

The Belleville Minor Hockey Association won’t have a bantam level house league this season, after just 28 skaters and two goaltenders signed up at the end of the registration period earlier this month.

BMHA president Matt Sinclair sent out a memo to families of the affected kids, who were all born in 2003 or 2004.

The league hopes to offer them a chance to play in a planned six-team midget-bantam level league.

It’s not ideal, Sinclair admitted, and he stressed families who aren’t OK with the plan — which could have 13 year olds on the same ice as 17 year olds — will be refunded and are

welcome to pursue chances to play in neighbouring areas.

But it wasn’t entirely unexpected.

“We’ve seen the bubble overall float through,” he said, pointing out that the same declining enrolment problem that has plagued the local school board also impacts minor sports.

Belleville’s Quinte Secondary School in slated for closure at the end of this year, as the number of senior elementary and high school students in the area is much lower now than in years past. The same low-enrolment “bubble” was felt in the elementary school system a few years ago, but has since floated up to higher grades.

Overall, BMHA isn’t in a bad place, Sinclair said.

Its peewee and novice divisions will both have six-team house leagues this year. Those divisions had four teams each last year. Overall, the league’s registration numbers are down slight-

ly, from 765 last year to 715 this year.

While a bantam house league wasn’t viable, BMHA still has bantam minor and bantam major AA select teams, which play at higher levels.

He said several other factors could be impacting the number of registrants overall — such as the new three-on-three league being offered by private business Rhino Sports & Play-

Loyalist Lancers soccer women battle to tie in home opener Belleville – The Loyalist Lancers women’s soccer team battled the Centennial Colts to a 2-2 tie in their Ontario Colleges Athletic Association home opener on Saturday, Sept. 16.

The game was played on the team’s newly renovated home field and in front of packed bleachers.

Veteran Jodie Mitchell opened the scoring for the Lancers in the 33rd minute of the game. After getting taken down in the box, Mitchell scored on a penalty kick that froze the Colts’ keeper.

The Lancers were outshot 13-3 in the first half, but goalkeeper Hannah Baker kept the home team in the game, with several great saves. Leah Den Hartough’s also made some great defensive plays in her own end to keep the Lancers up 1-0 at the half.

Mitchell scored again on a penalty kick in the second half to put the Lancers up 2-0 Lancers. Less than two minutes later, the Colts were awarded a penalty kick, resulting in a goal that cut the lead to 2-1.

They would add another with five minutes left to play to tie the game 2-2.

The tie was a much better result than the Lancers first two games; a 10-0 defeat to Algonquin Sept. 8 and an 8-0 loss to Durham Sept. 13.

The Lancers played Fleming on the road on Wednesday (in a game played after press time) and return to the field on Friday, Sept. 22, when they host Algonquin at 6 p.m.

Sept. 16, with a 27-10 loss to Fleming.

But, they rebounded with a 34-7 win over St. Lawrence College Kingston later in the day. They then lost 29-10 to Conestoga to close out their day.

The new team will play 13 more times, between four other tournaments throughout September and October.

Meanwhile, the Loyalist Lancers men’s rugby team, which plays the 15man game, lost their OCAA opener 32-7 to host St. Lawrence College, when the teams met in Kingston on Saturday.

programs would be worrisome to the hockey community here, especially when considering the association has the task of carrying on the “Belleville Bulls” hockey brand.

When the Ontario Hockey League franchise was sold in 2015, owner Gord Simmonds made arrangements for the minor hockey association to continuing using the logo, keep the long-standing nickname and the yellow and black colours in Belleville.

Sinclair said that, even with the new Belleville Senators franchise in Belleville, BMHA is committed to keeping the Bulls logo alive in the city.

He said the association is now working with the Belleville Senators on programs and expects to have a great relationship with the new team.

But, “at the end of the day, the Bulls have a long history in the City of Belleville; it wasn’t right to change brands,” he said.

But he’s not worried about the health of the organization in general, especially with the growth at the lower levels.

“Moving forward it looks promising to be sustainable,” he said.

The news of the bantam league, however, is tough to swallow for some families. Doug Lobel contacted the Belleville News to express his disappointment, saying the bantam-midget league wouldn’t work for his minorbantam age son, who only turns 13 in December.

“So for half the season, he would be a 12 year old playing against 16 and 17 year olds. Furthermore, he is a smaller player, a little under five feet.

We have since pulled out of BMHA,” he said, adding that he believes several others are doing the same.

Food Trucks unite for the United Way Event helps towards $1.97M goal

BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton – Food Trucks united people in support of the United Way Hastings and Prince Edward during the third annual event on Saturday Sept. 16.

Presented by Hanon Systems, the annual event drew thousands of people out to enjoy some good food on a sunny afternoon in Centennial Park in Trenton.

Jodi Cooper, director of marketing and digital communications for the United Way, said the event was bigger and better this year.

“We’ve got more food trucks than ever, more vendors than ever, the local craft breweries, wine, cider, our kids zone is bigger and better than ever so we’re really excited about that, it really is a fantastic event and a great opportunity for us to get out into the community and showcase what we do,” she said.

With a $2 admission fee, Food Trucks United is an event to help the United Way meet its recently announced 2017 campaign goal, set at $1,970,000.

The United Way will financially assist about 37 community agencies,

Right

which will help support about 40,000 individuals through 75 programs locally, said Cooper.

“I think this event has a huge impact because it really is community focused, it’s open to everyone, family friendly, pet friendly, so everyone is out here and that has a huge impact on our whole fundraising campaign,” she said.

The United Way fundraising campaign will run until the end of December.

Boaters Maren and Christopher Boothby from New Hampshire were out to grab some food at the event after staying at the Trent Port Marina before making their way up the TrentSevern.

“We thought we would stay here for an extra day and it worked out great, the food is wonderful, the weather is great,” said Christopher Boothby.

Maren said their experience at the Trent Port Marina was amazing, prompting them to stay an extra day and explore the Front Street Farmers’ Market, Quinte West Doors Open event and the Food Trucks United event.

Maren and Christopher Boothby enjoy food from T Dot’s Naansense food truck during Food Trucks United on Saturday Sept. 16. Erin Stewart/Metroland walk to Front Street and explore the whole town,” she said.

“I would say we’re definitely coming back, we will be back next summer too.”

Haines Jones, chef and owner of T Dot’s Naansense food truck, has attended Food Trucks United since it

began three years.

“We didn’t know what to expect because we come from Toronto, we were skeptical at first to be honest but we came down here and the energy from people was amazing, they were just so nice, we loved it, we got a good response and now we’re back,” he said.

Jones said it was awesome to see so much support for a food trucks event and, with all the love and hard work he puts into his food, he said it’s nice to have such a positive response.

Agricultural Hall of Fame honours new inductees

BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling – Six new members joined the Quinte Agricultural Hall of Fame in a ceremony held Sunday at Farmtown Park in Stirling.

The event, which began in 2006, honours people for their contributions to agriculture and the food industry in the counties of Hastings, Prince Edward, Northumberland and Lennox & Addington. The ceremony was held in the park’s Heritage Village. “(It was) a great day.” said emcee Wayne Martin.

“Nominees for this year who didn’t make it are eligible to be re-nominated next year.”

Norm McWaters of Belleville spent much of his career in the dairy industry with Agriculture Canada as a cheese grader and dairy products inspector in various parts of Ontario. After retiring to Belleville, he became secretary-treasurer of the Central Ontario Cheesemakers’ Association, and he still grades cheese for three eastern Ontario cheesemakers.

Avro Arrow test model found in water near PEC

BY MAKALA CHAPMAN

Members of a Canadian search team are celebrating after achieving something many before have tried but failed to do — locate one of the original test models of the Avro Arrow.

In a news conference held in Toronto Sept. 8, OEX Recovery Group’s Raise the Arrow expedition team unveiled a series of photos and videos captured from the bottom of Lake Ontario near Point Petre.

Covered in hundreds of zebra mussels and other debris, the footage depicts the outline of a triangularly-shaped object resting peacefully on its backside.

Expedition leader John Burzynski said once the crew’s remotely operated vehicle came across the object, they were 99 per cent certain they’d found what they had been looking for.

Sonar imagery was sent down to investigate the one-eighth scale replica before confirming the find.

“Discovering the first plane is one thing,” he said. “There was no guarantee that we would even find one.”

Between 1954 and 1957, nine test models of the Avro Arrow were launched over Lake Ontario before the aviation program, supporting the construction of the aircraft, was cancelled.

Now almost 60 years after the fact, the debated aircraft is back in the limelight.

Burzynski added that with this discov-

Expedition leader John Burzynski and his team review sonar images collected in search for the Avro Arrow at the bottom of Lake Ontario.

Submitted photo

ery, the hope of finding the other models becomes more realistic.

“Now we know about the area that they would of all come raining down into the lake,” he said. “We are certainly right in the heart of the system right now

and that’s exactly where we were hoping to be.”

In addition, the Avro enthusiast noted that the expedition has revealed a different and equally exciting find that he deemed a “discovery within a discovery.”

On top of the nine models resting in Lake Ontario, and the two that were tested in Virginia back in the 1950s, Burzynski said more test models had been fired than originally thought.

“It turns out that they had some pretests to test the rockets and the rocket rigs, which had models on them as well,” he said. “We’re not sure how many, but there are more targets out there than what we were initially looking for.”

He said if he were to guess, he imagined 15 additional models could be at the bottom of the lake due to the number of booster rockets and other debris the team have found.

As for the expedition’s prized discovery, which still is currently on the floor of Lake Ontario, Burzynski said a team of divers will be sent down in the next two weeks to inspect it.

“They’re going to cut away some of the zebra mussels as part of their investigation of it so they can figure out how to lift it and what condition it is in,” he said. “Ultimately we’ll know for sure once we bring it up to the surface.”

Concrete plans for when the test model will be brought out of the water have not yet been made.

Until then, the expedition team said they are in the process of continuing their search for other models and currently have around 200 objects of interest to investigate.

Low-cost rabies vaccinations a wise use of funds

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Northumberland County – There's more reason than usual to get pets vaccinated against rabies at clinics later this month: Ontario has seen a more than 10-fold increase in the number of rabies cases.

Last year, 288 cases of rabies were confirmed in the province, compared to only 24 cases in 2015, and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency said there has been 88 rabies cases recorded in Ontario in 2017 through the end of July.

“With the rapid rise in rabies cases found in wildlife certain parts of Ontario over the past

two years, it’s even more important to get your pets vaccinated,” Md Azad, a public health inspector with the The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit, said in a news release.

“Rabies is fatal, so getting pets vaccinated is an important part of caring for animals and being a responsible pet owner. In this area, it’s also mandatory for pet owners to get their cats and dogs vaccinated for rabies.”

The health unit and local veterinarians are teaming up to provide low-cost rabies vaccination clinics on Saturday, Sept. 30, in Brighton, Campbellford, Cobourg and Port Hope. An

early clinic is also set for Saturday, September 23, in Perrytown.

The cost is $30 per animal (cash only). No examination of the animal will take place at the clinic, and participating veterinarians ask that dogs be on leashes and cats in carriers.

Hrushy Veterinary Housecall Services will hold a clinic at the Codrington Fire Hall (County Road 27) from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

English Line Veterinary Services will host a clinic at 527 County Road 38 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

In the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge area, rabies were found last year only in three

bats, not domestic animals, Azad said in an interview.

The annual clinics are having “a positive impact” because no domestic animals exposed to rabies showed signs of the disease when tested.

About 2,000 cats and dogs are vaccinated each year in the district — 2,160 animals in 2014 and 1,926 animals in 2015.

Azad noted that some municipalities require proof of vaccination before issuing licences to pet owners for their animals.

For more information on the clinics or rabies prevention, call the health unit on 1-866-8884577 or visit www.hkpr.on.ca.

in May,” he said.

“It’s a good charity, they’ve done a lot of things, it’s supporting the community and we feel like we want to put ourselves behind this because community is the number one thing and helping people is the number one thing, so it’s just a good thing for us to do.”

Launching a food truck made sense to expand the Burger Revolution business, he said, which has now led to catering opportunities and events. “If people can’t come to Belleville at least we can go wherever they are and still deliver the same type of food we’re serving in Belleville,” he said, adding being part of the food truck culture is a positive experience. “We always knew that food trucks would blow up soon, it took a little longer than we thought it would for gourmet trucks but we’re happy to be a part of it because we know the stuff that we offer is along the same line of the food trucks from Toronto or Ottawa or Kingston.”

Continued from B1

fundraising events in Toronto, Jones said it’s important to do things for others.

“It’s nice to be doing something for someone else, it’s a nice thing to do and we feel good leaving from here,” he said.

T Dot’s Naansense food truck will definitely be back next year, he said, as they look forward to the event every year.

“We keep all of our other events to the side so we can come here, people call us and try to book us for this day but we have to say sorry, we already have an event,” he said.

Belleville’s Burger Revolution attended the event for the first year after recently acquiring a food truck. Jeff Camacho, owner of Burger Revolution, said that he knew he always wanted to be a part of the event and was finally able to be involved this year.

“This was the year, our food truck launched

Province ponies up $5.1 million Meeting to focus on bridging the distance for local homelessness

BY JACK EVANS

A celebratory air dominated the Hastings County Council Chambers Sept. 12 as news of a provincial commitment of almost $5,100,000 was announced to address homeless issues in the county.

The funds are under the province’s new “Home for Good” program, an attempt to eradicate homelessness in Ontario by 2025. Locally, the money will be directed to 40 supportive-housing units throughout the county. There was no indication where those units will be built or if they will be created in one or more locations.

The spectator gallery was almost full in anticipation of the announcement, which the county’s joint Community and Human Services Committee first recommended for approval only a few weeks ago.

The letter from Peter Milczyn, Minister of Housing, stated his office “received 46 strong proposals from service managers. I am pleased to advise you that the County of Hastings proposal was successful and has been approved for funding as indicated.”

The amounts listed were $5,097, 607 for capital costs for the 40 units and about $1.5 million for the first three years of operation, part of a long term commitment for the province to pay fully for operations into the future. The county is expected to contribute up to $1.6 million toward the capital costs of creating the housing units.

Warden Rodney Cooney, in making the announcement, said, “This is a great day for Hastings County.” He also recognized that the application’s success involved a co-operative effort by several county and community agencies. Cooney invited comments from representatives of those agencies, including Police Chief Ron Gignac, who testified that homelessness issues resulted in 826 calls for assistance to his department last year alone.

He said it was a problem that had to be dealt with and something got done. “This is

a major step forward,” he concluded.

Belleville Fire Chief Mark MacDonald said the urgency to address a serious homelessness issue here was touched off with the closure of the Bell Marine residence on Dundas Street East in Belleville. He said he was amazed by how county social services workers pulled together a team of various agencies in the community to cooperate on resolving the issue, and then followed through with a successful application for new supportive housing units.

The key problem is a safe place for shelter, MacDonald stressed. Gary Laws from the Addictions Foundation also stressed that safe, adequate shelter is a key component in dealing with his type of problems. He said that in preparation for the new units, his agency will now start to hire and train specialized staff to work with residents of the new residences.

County CAO Jim Pine reminded that “other communities today did not get the same kind of letter,” and said the new project is “a giant step forward.” He thought the key reason for the county’s success was the detailed preparation and the working together by so many different agencies and departments.

To help cover early development costs, the committee also approved a recommendation to county council to apply for “seed funding” from the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation. Funds of up to $50,000 are available as a non-repayable contribution under the program.

There are no indications yet where any of the housing units will be built will actually be built.

Erin Rivers, director of the Community and Human Services Department, asked about how many more units might be needed to solve the local homeless problem, said, “I don’t think we’ll ever have enough housing of this type, but this project will make a huge dint in the problem.”

The Poverty Roundtable of Hastings Prince Edward is hosting a public meeting next week to discuss local issues.

The roundtable group formed in 2013 to look at things that can be done to address the causes of poverty and to broaden the community’s capacity to do so by working together. The group is made up of approximately 400 members from across Hastings and Prince Edward counties.

Members come from social and health services, faith communities, business sectors, municipalities and community members interested in both ending poverty and improving prosperity for all.

Quarterly, the Roundtable hosts public meetings to create opportunities to learn and to push for improvements to reduce poverty in our communities.

The next public meeting is slated to take place from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on September 27, at St. Paul’s United Church, 1 Hastings Street, Bancroft.

The meeting will focus on bridging the distance – and building on rural and urban work and action to address inequality in Hastings and Prince Edward Counties. North Hastings Community Trust is hosting the roundtable.

Recent census data indicates an increase in low incomes across much of Hastings and Prince Edward Counties. In 2015, 17.6 per cent were in low income, while in 2005, 14.7 per cent of persons in Belleville lived in low income. In 2015, 13.5 per cent were in low income, while in 2005, 12.7 per cent of the persons in Prince Edward County lived in low income2. In 2015, 25.4 per cent of the persons in Bancroft lived in low income. Provincially 14.4 per cent of the population is living in low income.

The meeting is open to the public and the Poverty Roundtable HPE encourages all community members to attend. There is no cost to attend.

CHILDHOOD CANCER ONGOING RESEARCH With the support of our generous donors, the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) has invested more than $50 million in research to help children fight and survive cancer over the last 15 years.

Dr Sumit Gupta fromThe Hospital for Sick Children was awarded a CCS Quality of Life Research Grant in 2016. Currently Dr. Gupta is looking into the risk of mental health side effects as a result of childhood cancer.

It’s devastating to learn that your child has been diagnosed with cancer. Cancer affects both the child and their family. Little is known about the long term impact of childhood cancer on the mental health of survivors and their families.

Dr. Gupta is examining Ontario health records to assess whether childhood cancer survivors, their mothers and their siblings are more likely to experience mental health issues as adults, compared to the public. This work may identify groups of people at risk for mental health challenges and can inform the design of resources to help.

With the support of a CCS Prevention Research Grant awarded in 2014, Dr Rod Bremner from Mount Sinai Hospital is looking into preventing cancers caused by a defective gene.

Some genes, known as tumour suppressors, play an important role in preventing cancer.

When these tumour suppressor genes are defective, cancer can grow. RB1 is one of these genes – in nearly all cancers, RB1 is defective. Infants with this defective gene are prone to an eye cancer called retinoblastoma, and many other cancers later in life. Dr Bremner has identified drugs that counteract the cancer causing proteins that take advantage of defective RB1. He has developed an eyedrop to optimize drug delivery. His ongoing research is testing whether this eyedrop can block the development of retinoblastoma. Given the widespread importance of RB1, this research could lead to ways to prevent many other types of cancer.

At the 2017 World Crokinole Championship decided to host an annual World Crokinole Championship, to honour the area invention, and it takes place on the first Saturday of June each year.

I decided to attend the event, held in the Tavistock & District Recreation Centre, and I was certainly surprised to find that the arena floor was packed with avid crokinole players. In fact, more than 450 players were there, and some spectators as well, and the event ran from 8:30 am well into the late evening. It’s a full day that escalates in tension as it goes on, culminating with the evening singles finals (and its $1,000 cash prize).

For the past few years, the singles final has been a battle of young, highly ranked players, but this year saw an older veteran (Robert Bonnett of Wingham, Ont.) take the top prize. He defeated Jon Conrad of Milverton (a two-time World Champion) in a very close final. Robert humbly stated: “I think I was just lucky.”

More than 80 competitors battled in the adult singles category. Pre-tournament favourite (and last year’s champion) Justin Slater was eliminated in the playoff round, but he still received the trophy for the most twenties (104).

I spoke with Nathan Walsh, a committee member and promotions person for this year’s event - and a top player himself - and I asked him about any unusual tournament events that have taken place over the EXPERIENCE THE ROAD TO years. He recalled the World ChamEXCELLENCE pionship of 2006, when Jason BeiDiefenbunker Canada’s Cold War Museum ................................

BY JOHN M. SMITH

As a youngster, I can remember playing this rather strange board game called Crokinole.

My sister and parents would take turns shooting discs across the circular playing surface, trying to knock away opposing discs and having our discs land as close as possible to the board’s centre. As the years passed, my children and grandchildren would play this game, once in a while, with my mom or an aunt, and a crokinole board has remained in the family to this very day. It has not been used very often, but it’s still there as an option. This past spring, I just happened to read about the World Crokinole Championship that was to be held in Tavistock, and I decided that that would be a rather unique event to cover.

Apparently craftsman Eckhardt Wettlaufer made the first crokinole board in 1876, near Tavistock, Ont., as a fifth birthday present for his son. That board is now to be found in Kitchener’s Joseph Schneider Haus Museum, a national historic site. Tavistock eventually

est competitor (89), and Rachel Beierling was the youngest (5).

I met Sherill Calder at the registration desk on tournament day, and she was also able to provide me with some additional interesting facts about the big event. There were players in attendance from all across Canada, from Newfoundland to British Columbia, including a record number from PEI (11). There were also players from 8 states in the U.S. In the past, she said that competitors have also come from such countries as Germany, France, Scotland, England, Chile, and Australia. There were no international competitors this year, but she pointed out that a real positive this time was that a record setting “31 per cent of the players were new to the tournament this year.”

Although the big event appears to be the adult singles category, there are several others, including intermediate, recreational, and junior singles. There are also cue singles and doubles (played with a short cue and a lazy susan-style crokinole board) and some regular crokinole doubles categories, too. I was

particularly interested in watching the doubles event, for I discovered that a father and son from Belleville, David and Matt Brown, were competing (and finished in a very respectable 8th place).

The Belleville Connection I learned that Belleville has a crokinole club, and it hosts an annual crokinole tournament each September. This year it will be held on Sept. 23 at the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre, so here’s an opportunity to see some of these competitors in action. I also discovered that the Belleville stop is just one of several on the crokinole circuit, for these players compete in several Ontario destinations each year (including Owen Sound, London, St. Jacobs, and Hamilton).

Want to see more wildlife on your land?

Since 2007, Forests Ontario has been helping landowners to attract more “nature” to their land with the 50 Million Tree Program.

Over the life of this program, more than 22 million trees have been planted on private land, and most landowners have cited the attraction of wildlife as their prime reason for signing up with the program.

Landowners with a minimum of 2.5 acres (one hectare) of plantable land may be eligible for this incentive program.

“Many trees provide pollen and nectar for bees and other pollinators early in the spring before fruit trees and plants flower. Adding trees to my land was beneficial for my bees, and trees are also important because they provide homes for nesting birds and animals,” says Forests Ontario green leader, Karin Tomosky.

Animals large and small can benefit from the presence of trees, which provide a potential food source, as well as protection from predators and severe weather. Expanding the tree cover on a property can create habitat for wildlife — and can quickly start to attract birds, small mammals and pollinators. As well, forested riparian (shoreline) areas are important for their combination of improving water quality, reducing streambank erosion and providing cover to a host of land and aquatic creatures.

Through the 50 Million Tree Program, landowners are able to access funding support of up to 75 per cent of total planting costs as well as ongoing forest management assistance.

A local planting partner — an experienced forestry professional — will work

with you to create a plan that suits your property’s unique needs and help improve the value of your land.

Fall is prime time for the planting partners to visit landowners to evaluate their properties for the 50 Million Tree Program. Interested landowners should act now to set up a site visit. This allows time for site preparation before trees are planted in the spring. To submit an application, visit forestsontario.ca/50MTP. For additional questions, contact the forestry outreach co-ordinator, Suzanne Perry, at 1-877-646-1193 ext. 239 or at sperry@forestsontario.ca.

Definition needs to change: chamber

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Trent Hills – Trent Hills Chamber of Commerce doesn’t like the way the federal government defines small business. Its definition, 100 or fewer employees, “is too broad,” says THCC chair Jeff Hamilton.

It’s businesses with one to 19 employees “that are vital to small towns and villages across rural Canada, and they create that smalltown community atmosphere within large urban centres,” he said in a news release. Those same businesses were responsible for 87.7 per cent of the change in net employment – 1.2 million jobs overall – that took place between 2005 and 2015, according to the Key Small Business Statistics Report published in June 2016.

A more accurate definition of what a small business is is important because members are telling the chamber how difficult it is to navigate government websites, regulations and legislation “without the human resources department that larger companies often have,” Hamilton said.

“The current programming available for small business is very limited if you not an exporter, in the technology sector or conduct research and development. Creating a new focus and priority for this business category is key to making changes.”

Trent Hills is working with other chambers in the area “to achieve our goal,” Hamilton said.

“Our next step is for the Canadian

Chamber of Commerce (CCC) to adopt our policy as a resolution for advocacy.”

THCC executive director Nancy Allanson said she will be attending the annual general meeting of the CCC in New Brunswick later this month to speak on behalf of the policy resolution.

Getting the Northumberland Central, Port Hope and District, Brighton/Cramahe and Greater Peterborough chambers of commerce to co-sponsor the policy resolution “was key” in getting it “to this stage of the process,” she said.

The Trent Hills chamber received an award to cover the entire cost to attend the AGM and conference “thanks to the generosity of conference sponsors.”

GET READY FOR FALL Judges Paul Garbett, left, and Steve Snider, flank first prize winner of $2,000, Judy Harper of Oshawa. Jack Evans/Metroland

BY JACK EVANS

Dozens of people vied for cash rewards totalling several thousand dollars during the plein air painting festival earlier this month.

From the nooks and corners throughout Belleville, local and visiting artists took part in the festival which ran Sept. 7-9.

The festival was a Quinte Arts Council 50th anniversary project.

At the wrap-up reception in the Parrott Gallery Sunday afternoon, competitors got to hear the professional judges render their verdicts, often adding some constructive critiques. The judges were Paul Garbett, Coopers Falls, and Steve Snider, who testified they had tough decisions to make and praised the high calibre of paintings entered. Quinte Arts Council officials said there were 27 artists in adult categories plus more than double that for student artists. With prizes at $2,000 for the first place open category winner, one of the luckiest entries was from a five-year-old girl who won the elementary age prize of $200.

UINTE B AY O F Q

KINGSTO

“Her first painting and she got $200 for it,” quipped one of the judges. Arts council officials refused to reveal the girl’s full name in public.

Judy Harper of Oshawa won the big prize with a painting of a section of rapids on the Moira River. Another water scene of water colours placed second for $1,500, by Dalibor Djancik of Toronto and third was a challenging oil and wax landscape of a vineyard by Andrew Csafordi of Bloomfield.

Another category, supported by the Downtown Business Improvement Area, was won by Durban Castiguay, for a scenic shot of the lower bridge.

A category for “chaos” to reflect the downtown construction, went to a large painting of a yellow backhoe on Bridge Street, by coincidence, in front of Gallery 121 art gallery.

Judge Snider also commented on how plein air painting is so challenging, combatting unpleasant or cold weather conditions, pesky insects, curious and distracting spectators and a constantly moving sun.

Take it Outside

That backyard can be an oasis

By Carson Arthur

Useable space in the backyard is always top priority in every one of my designs. This may offend a few of the gardeners out there, but if you don’t have a spot to sit outside with family and friends and enjoy the roses, then those blooms are a wasted opportunity!

When it comes to creating useable space, most homeowners go with either wood or stone.

When it comes to costs, decks will always be the “less expensive option” in creating an outdoor living space when compared to patios. Even if you choose high-end materials, the labour required to install a deck is less, helping to reduce your overall cost.

Installation is also a big benefit for choosing a deck. The way a deck is built allows you more creativity in location. Because the actual structure is built above the ground, tree roots, wet soil, even big slopes can be easily overcome. Even a DIY’er can have great success installing a simple deck structure with plenty of how-to videos available online.

Unfortunately, wood decks don’t mix well with the elements as compared to some other outdoor materials like stone and concrete. Sun, snow, rain, ice and hail can all deteriorate

Now Hiring for the following positions:

unprotected wood, reducing its lifespan significantly. We are now seeing more products entering into the market that extend the life of your deck.

Composites like Trex (www.Trex.com) mix plastics with wood, allowing you to have a deck that lasts up to 25 years.

Even the traditional green pressuretreated wood is getting a facelift with new products like MicroPro Sienna (www.microprosienna.com), which is a rich brown toned wood that uses a stain with smaller molecules allowing for deeper penetration.

The popularity of the patio makes a lot of sense. Canadians want lowmaintenance and there are few things that require less effort than stone. A properly installed patio with a good base and jointing sand can easily last 25 years. That’s one important reason to make sure you pick a stone that you will love the entire time you have the space. It also justifies the costs. Patios rank as one of the highest expenses for outdoor renovations but if you average the cost over the lifespan and the increased home-value of up to 12 per cent (Century21, Canada); patios are a smart investment.

The evolution of the patio stone has come a long way from the two-foot by two-foot concrete slabs that I keep replacing in older backyards. With more colours, shapes and sizes available, choosing a patio is just like choosing flooring for a living room or a kitchen.

When it comes to size or patterns, there

really is no single answer. I always tell homeowners to go and see products in an actual installation instead of just from a pamphlet before they commit. I personally choose stones that are in the grey or tan tones as they create a neutral backdrop for some dynamic furniture or art pieces. The biggest trends for 2015 are man-made stones designed to look natural. Wood grained patio stones in natural browns and greys has me the most excited of all the outdoor options. (Rinox.ca) Patios are built on the ground. This is very important for two reasons. The first, involves basement windows. Most decks need support structures built underneath them, often blocking the light and the view for basement spaces. A patio can be built much lower, allowing for more light and less obstruction.

The second important reason has to do with privacy. Most urban homeowners struggle with privacy in the backyard from their neighbours. Traditionally, decks are elevated, making a privacy situation even worse. With a patio being lower in the yard, you naturally feel less on display.

I always tell homeowners to never spend more than 12 percent of your home’s value when adding a deck or a patio. If you can stay within that amount, odds are, you’ll increase your home’s value by the same amount and you’ll get every penny back when it’s time to sell. Why spend money that you’re not going to get back?

Teachers donate to Quinte Conservation educational programs The International Honorary Organization for Women Educators has made a big splash with Quinte Conservation.

The local Alpha Delta Kappa (ADK) Lambda chapter of the group made donations to support Quinte Conservation’s Wild About Wildlife events and educations programs, including Stream of Dreams and Yellow Fish Road.

Their efforts help to make these educational events free for the public. ADK member Kathryn Crawford said, “The Wild About Wildlife event in July was a fabulous program for teaching children about

wildlife in our environment.

Approximately 400 children had opportunity to learn about water drainage from Quinte Conservation’s enviroscape model, identify local bugs, and talk to experts while observing fascinating creatures like native snakes and birds of prey.”

Crawford added, “ADK Lambda chapter is a local group of teachers whose main interest is to provide exciting educational opportunities to children.

“During this coming school year, classes of students may participate in popular activities like Stream of Dreams,

where children can paint their own dream fish for their schools fence, and Yellow Fish Road where they learn to care for our natural water bodies like rivers, creeks, and lakes.”

Quinte Conservation’s educational programs are open to school boards, camps, and organizations in the Quinte Conservation watershed. These popular programs book up fast. For more information or to book Stream of Dreams at your school, contact Maya Navrot, education and stewardship coordinator, at 613-9683434. For more details visit: www.quinteconservation.ca.
