News - Quinte West - The loss of the Frankford Public Works building by fire on March 31 has led to a leased space at 160 North Murray in Trenton. “The city suffered damage to numerous vehicles,” said Chris Angelo, director of Public Works and Environmental Services. “The Public Works building was destroyed.” The building and yard housed roads staff and equipment as well as parks staff in the summer season. Replacement of the equipment is under way. Staff have received one of three new backhoes and the truck tenders will be awarded shortly. The mower and bobcat replacement have been awarded. The city’s insurance covered 100 per cent replacement value on all of the equipment. The city will enter into a 22-month lease with Hilliard Cooney for 160 North Murray Street for a value of $170,000. The property is owned by Garric Holdings. This lease cost is covered by the insurance policy and the city is responsible only for insurance of its contents plus heat, hydro and taxes. The size of the building is 21,000 square feet. “The owner has agreed to install one 16 by 16 foot new insulated automatic door,” he added. The lease term runs from June 1, 2014, to March 31, 2016. The owner has advised the city may have the keys to the building any time and there will be no charge until June 1. “The size of the building is somewhat larger than what is needed at this time,” Angelo noted. He suggested they move items from the Quonset hut to the new facility temporarily, freeing up the hut for the Fantasy of Lights storage which is currently in a trailer or two at 30 Pelham Street. They could also move items from the Leopold Centre and the property could be sold or the building demolished and the site sold for residential development. Angelo said the space at North Murray is suitable for their needs. The city is still waiting for the cost estimate from the insurance company for a building replacement in Frankford or take a cash settlement and apply that to the new Public Works Consolidated Facility currently being designed. The city has two years to make that decision.

Public School, explained why he got involved in the Brighton Relay of Life: “I had a very special person in my heart and her name was Sharon and she died of cancer,� he said. Sharon, his neighbour, died before Christmas and her husband, Charlie, “is still very sad,� Josh said. Last month he decided to set up a lemonade stand. “I want to make a lot of money,� he said, “to help find a cure for cancer so others with the disease can survive.� Charlie showed his appreciation, by contributing “the biggest part of the donation� that her son ended up making

to Machek’s team, the Forget-Me-Nots, Josh’s mother, Caryl Brown, said. The Forget-Me-Nots, made up of Bargain Shop employees and family members, were chosen to receive the money because one on the team, Tracy Clark, had approached Caryl about being a sponsor. The team came together “by accident,� Machek said. Brighton Relay for Life committee chair Susan Shephard went to the Bargain Store where Machek works looking for a corporate donation. Machek and a coworker Jen Dusenbury looked at each other “and a light bulb went off� that

reporting requirements when those limits are exceeded. “Under the ammonia policy, if there are repeated exceedances after a certain period of time it has to go to the investigative and enforcement branch.� Wastewater ammonia made headlines in 2012, when ministry officials issued an order to ensure the municipality was following an action plan to reduce the levels in the sewage treatment lagoon. And according to a recent wastewater report, the levels are still high. “The ministry has conducted an investigation and, on April 21, they issued a summons to court on June 12,� Chisholm told council. The court order lists offences under the Water Resources Act from 2012 and those that occurred up until September 2013. “The offences have been discussed with the municipal solicitor and he feels the municipality can take a position of

due diligence because of the response the municipality has had to the orders and the letters sent to the municipality by the ministry,� said Chisholm. “He feels there has been an active and diligent response to their request.� As well, ministry officials approved a pilot study, using a new technology at the wastewater facility. “The ministry receives monthly updates of the progress of that study and, to date, they are satisfied with the reports we’ve issued,� said Chisholm. “This indicates that, at the Ministry of Environment, the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing,� said Kerr. “The fact is, we have worked very, very closely with them on the remedial actions we planned on taking. They agreed with those plans and they didn’t work. “Our staff came up with a highly innovative pilot project for solving the problem, presented it and they immediately revised their order and agreed we

maintained for many years.� “It is clear that drainage is a problem in certain areas of Brighton,� said Martinello. “And I think we should be doing everything we can to make sure that stormwater flows as fast as it can. “What this motion proposes is a very simple and low-tech fix to a big problem in the south end of Brighton.� Deputy-mayor Mike Vandertoorn wondered why the plan wasn’t proposed during budget deliberations. “Never once was this culvert replacement and ditch maintenance plan brought up,� he said. “This could be a fairly large undertaking.� “We do have policies in place,� added Councillor Tom Rittwage. “We can’t sit around the council table and cherry pick about who gets what. We need to look at

everybody, treat everybody equally, and leave the expertise to our staff.� “You probably could agree that’s one of the biggest complaints we get,� countered Councillor Mary Tadman. “And, after all, everything does drain into Gosport.� “The reason I spoke to Gosport specifically is, when you’re trying to clear a total drainage system, you start from the bottom and work your way up to make it efficient as possible,� said Martinello. That’s when Vandertoorn moved to defer the plan in favour of a report from staff regarding a culvert program for the entire municipality. In a recorded vote, Rittwage and Vandertoorn, along with Councillors Craig Kerr and Emily Rowley approved the deferral, with Martinello, Tadman and Mayor Mark Walas opposed.

should go ahead with that remedial action. We’ve been complying all the way along.� Martinello wondered if the cost of defending the summons might be more than paying the penalty. “There are times when you realize you’re going to cut your losses by pleading guilty,� he said. “I don’t know if we gain any credibility by arguing against the MOE.� “I certainly would not suggest pleading guilty,� said Councillor Tom Rittwage. “In my personal opinion, it’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. However, after sitting at this table for the past three-and-a-half years, I have come to the realization that some people won’t be satisfied until we have a new $40 million sewage treatment plant.� In a 6-1 recorded vote, all but Martinello approved receiving the report.

they should enter a team. Machek had lost her mother-inlaw to breast cancer last November and Dusenbury’s brother was newly diagnosed with a type of lymphoma. “I thought at the beginning it was going to be difficult,� she said, but it didn’t take long to recruit 15 members, and as of last weekend they had raised $873 in pledges. Josh chose the Forget-Me-Nots because one of its members, Tracy Clarke, had asked his mother to be a sponsor. “We’re very proud [of him],� said his mother, Caryl Brown. Terry Fox “is a huge inspiration to him.� Relay for Life Brighton hopes to have at least 30 teams registered for the relay which begins at 7 p.m. June 6 and concludes 12 hours later June 7. The goal is to raise $45,000; almost $7,000 has been raised to date, or 15 per cent. An information night for teams will be held at 6:30 p.m. May 13 at the King Edward Park Community Centre, when they will be told “all the exciting stuff that is going to be happening at this year’s relay,� said Karen White, president of Hastings-Prince Edward-Brighton unit of Canadian Cancer Society.

Machek said she’s “super excited� about taking part in the relay for the first time, in tribute to her mother-in-law. “It’s been a rough go, very emotional,� she said, but “the outpouring of support in this community is absolutely amazing. Every day I am reminded of how lucky I am to live in a community like this.� Among those she wished to thank was Redstone Clothing, which has sponsored the team’s T-shirts. “The business community is so supportive,� White said. “It’s unbelievable what Brighton does when it’s time to step up and join the fight.� Teams can register right up to the day of the relay. For more information visit <www.relayforlife.ca/brighton>.

Brighton Independent - Thursday, May 8, 2014 5

The Sound of Music dazzles at ENSS people have even told us that ours have been better than professional productions of the same show.” Those who attended the first three performances last weekend would agree. All 40 or so students who took the stage and the dozens of volunteers behind the scenes combined to make the show a truly memorable event. There is a tradition of high-quality musicals at ENSS and The Sound of Music didn’t disappoint. Grade 11 student Deirdre Cleveland, playing nun Mother Abbess, has a voice that can only be described as heavenly. We knew local troubadour Michael Osvald could

sing but who knew he could dance as he portrayed a convincing Captain Georg Von Trapp. But the budding star award goes to junior kindergarten student Aleita Post, who delighted the audience every time she appeared on stage. Notably, the four-year-old Highland dancer will be appearing in her first national dance competition at Vancouver this summer. There are only three shows left, at 7 p.m. on May 8, 9 and 10. Tickets are $15 each and if you don’t have one, you’re missing out on a great evening of entertainment. They’re available at the ENSS office and, maybe, at the door.

Entertainment - Brighton - Move over Carrie Underwood, there’s a new Maria in town. In an earlier interview, East Northumberland Secondary School (ENSS) show director Paul Hussey mentioned how the national television broadcast in December, starring Underwood, would help promote the local production of the stage version and his lead, Grade 12 student Anna Barker, shone.

The cast was perfect and, kudos to carpenters Dale Heffernan and Jim Moore, even the set drew an appreciative hand. When the curtain drew back to reveal the magnificent mansion constructed on stage, there was an audible gasp and a round of applause. “At ENSS, you’re not coming to see your average high school performance,” said Sam Lafferty, who portrays housekeeper Frau Schmidt, one of the few non-singing roles in the cast. “Some

We are members of GRAN Quinte (Grandmothers Advocacy Network) and as such are concerned about the provisions being proposed in the TransPacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) that threaten to restrict access to affordable medicines by millions of people including Canadians. This agreement would make it difficult for patients, governments and treatment providers to access affordable generic medicines in Canada and developing countries due to the provisions for patent extensions. All but the very wealthy will be affected negatively by this agreement. Too many people already suffer and die because the medicines they need are too

Transparency should be the essential characteristic of democratic government yet citizens are being kept in the dark about these negotiations whereas corporations are consulted and made privy to details. This lack of transparency will prevent democratic checks and balances. We urge the Canadian government to ensure that the final text of the TPP is aligned with its preexisting global public health commitments. Medicines should not be a luxury. Sincerely, GRAN Quinte, Belleville Ontario

MORTGAGE SPECIAL

Dear Editor, At the public meeting regarding the Murray Canal Single Lane Swing Bridge replacement held April 23 at Quinte West Council chambers, our MP and Parks Canada officials stated that the present bridge does not meet current safety standards. They must have two sets of rules. One for us and another for themselves.

WATER SERVICE BULK WATER DELIVERY (613) 475-4823

• WELLS • CISTERNS • POOLS • HOT TUBS • ROADS • ICE RINKS • ETC.

After taking a cursory look at the condition of the roadway and security fencing, I question Parks Canada’s commitment to safety. I only covered about two kilometers but found rotten and broken guard posts, wire rope cable that is supposed to prevent the many four-wheel drive trucks using the road from entering the canal lying useless in the grass, open stream drains with no protective timbers above, potholes large enough to swallow a small car and muddy and slippery road surfaces. This is part of the highly promoted “Waterfront Trail.” Those responsible for saddling Quinte West, Prince Edward County and Brighton with this unsafe, trash-infested eyesore should be hanging their heads in shame.

OPINION Connected to your community Israel: The “A” word

Editorial - Hillary Clinton would never have used the word when she was US Secretary of State, because she still has presidential ambitions. John Kerry, the current Secretary of State, has no further ambitions in that direction, which may be why he dared to use the words “apartheid” and “Israel” in the same sentence. Or maybe he just didn’t realise that the world hear about it. Gwynne Dyer would Kerry spoke last week to a group of high-ranking officials from the US, Europe and Japan known as the Trilateral Commission about the failure of his year-long attempt to revive the “peace talks” between Israel and the Palestinians. Somebody at the meeting secretly recorded his comments, which were published by the Daily Beast on Monday, and suddenly he was in very hot water. What he said was that the long-sought “two-state solution” was the only real alternative to a “unitary” Israeliruled state that included all the territory between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea – and ruled over millions of Palestinians in the territories that have been under Israeli military occupation since 1967. Those Palestinians, most of whom cannot remember a time when they did not live under Israeli control, have no political rights within Israel. The two-state solution, under negotiation off and on for the past 20 years, would give them a state of their own, but most people had despaired some time ago of getting Israel to agree to an independent Palestine. Kerry had not, so he was surprised and disappointed when his efforts came to naught. That was why he blurted out the truth that American politicians are never supposed to acknowledge. He said that without the two-state solution, “a unitary [Israeli] state winds up either being an apartheid state with second-class [Palestinian] citizens – or it ends up being a state that destroys the capacity of Israel to be a Jewish state.” It was clumsily phrased, but the basic idea is common in both Israeli and Palestinian political discourse. Even if

Israel never formally annexes the occupied territories, it has been building Jewish settlements all over them for decades, and the Palestinian inhabitants are effectively controlled by the Israeli government. If this situation continues indefinitely, and the Palestinians must live out their lives as mere residents without no political rights, then they are in the same position as the black South Africans who lived all their lives under white rule without citizenship or the vote. That was the very essence of apartheid. Alternatively, of course, Israel might grant them citizenship and the vote: that’s what happened when apartheid ended in South Africa in 1994. But there are already a great many Palestinians living under Israeli rule, and their higher birth rate would make them a majority in that “unitary” Israel in less than a generation. That might or might not be a state where Jews were happy to live, but it would definitely no longer be a Jewish state. State Department officials tried to defend their boss’s comments for a few hours, but as the firestorm of protest by American Zionist organisations grew the Obama administration realised that Kerry had to be forced to apologise for speaking the truth. The story that they took him down into the White House basement and beat him with rubber hoses is probably untrue, but on Tuesday he recanted his heresy. “I do not believe,” Kerry said, “nor have I ever stated, publicly or privately, that Israel is an apartheid state or that it intends to become one.” Well, of course not. It’s not an apartheid state now because the non-citizen status of the Palestinians for the past 47 years is technically only temporary, pending the creation of their own state. And Israel has no intention of ever meeting the technical definition of an apartheid state, either, because that would be a public-relations disaster. However, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu seems convinced that he can avoid that outcome simply by hanging on to the occupied territories indefinitely but never formally annexing them, and many Israelis agree with him. They might even be right, but John Kerry doesn’t think so. Or at least, he didn’t until his own people worked him over a bit.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Fed up with Hydro One Dear Editor We have been living here in Trenton since 2011. When we moved to this beautiful town, the first thing Hydro One did was to change the “old smart meter” with a new “smart meter”, even though it was only three days old. Go figure... Anyway, in September of 2012 I noticed on our hydro bill that it was only estimations, and called the hydro company to inquire as to why it was only estimation and not the right number of consumption. The answer I got was: there is a problem with the smart meter but it will be corrected in about two to three months, and we will adjust your billing accordingly. I called the Hydro One at least every second month to see what took them so long to correct the problem, and again was told it could take about two to three months to correct. Today, May 2, I received my hydro bill as per usual date and almost had a heart attack, as the bill showed an amount of $1,454.42... and this amount is an adjustment from June 2012 to April of 2014 I have just ended a conversation with Mohammed in billing at Hydro One, and was told the reason for this high

amount on my bill is due to the fact that they have only been estimating our consumption, but now the “smart meter” is working as it should and from now on, it will be the actual consumption. Now I have a question. We are being charged something called regulatory charges and we are being charged debt retirement charges. I do not understand why we are taxed on regulatory charges and on debt retirement charges, as that is not a service, but basically a fine we are paying because somebody literally screwed up. On top of this, the delivery charge is three times as much as consumption? And why when Hydro is so expensive, are we paying for another country to take our surplus Hydro? It does not make sense. I would be like the supermarket paying us for taking their groceries. As you can most likely read between the lines, I am stewing and I am not sure that you are the person to write to but I had to let somebody in politics know about this. We are retired and are on a fixed income, and fed up and this is just going to be more and more difficult to bear. Sincerely, Kirsten Skjodt, Trenton

Heee’s baaaack... By Terry Bush Editorial - Considering where we live, we really don’t need to have curtains on our windows. The city, it’s not. Secluded, it is. Mare and I are well past our prime, well at least one of us is, so in the event that someone is outside peeking in while I’m putting on my gotchies, I’d say the resulting retching is well-deserved. And in Mare’s case, the offending peeping Tom had better have a flannel fetish, because he’s going to see the same thing I do on a nightly basis often encased in a double set of housecoats. The girl is not well-insulated. So why are we finally thinking about curtains five years into owning this house? Let the broken record spin. It wasn’t a nice winter. It was a good winter for anything to do with snow and it reminded me of the great winters we used to experience when we were kids but two words pretty much sum it up for us. Electric furnace. In a perfect world, the previous owners would have installed infloor heating given the preponderance of tile in the place. But their main usage for our current home was as a getaway. You could tell that by the fireplace that sent all the heat up the chimney. Not to brag but I think we did our part to pay the salary of at least one Hydro employee this winter with a bit of overtime thrown in. The most remarkable bill we received was for the month of March when we were on the other side of the world for three weeks. With the furnace set around 12 degrees, we still managed to top the $1,000 mark for the month. After the rage subsided, it was time to figure out what to do about the situation. Isn’t the Internet grand? Within half an hour of surfing, I’d found out that my plan to install in-floor heating between the floor joists would probably not be an attractive option unless I had an extra $20,000 kicking around. I don’t. So we are forced to consider cheaper alternatives to whittle away at our ever-increasing heating bill. I remember a time when an attic was used as a place to store things, lots of things; cool things especially if you were a kid rummaging around. Often it even contained items that had been left behind by a previous owner. Now it’s a place to store insulation. So, we’ll be storing another six inches of pink there this fall to go with the eight inches of bats and blown that already reside

there. So much space, so little storage. And then shudder, shudder, we’ll buy insulated curtains and cocoon ourselves for six months. Hopefully after spending much less than we would have upgrading our heating system, we might be able to drop our Hydro bill down into the $800 per month range other people said they paid last winter for various heat sources. It might even make it more fun for any Toms who’d like to take a peek, because as we all know, a little bit of hard work always makes the rewards that much sweeter. My other option as far as reducing my Hydro bill would be to entice people to move to our neighbourhood which might eventually result in a change in our Hydro One designation as rural low density. But then we’d have to move because our little piece of heaven would be too populated. Curtains and insulation will have to do this time round. We may even get the new window coverings sooner than later. Apparently we’ve become way too countrified in a farmer kind of way. Either that or our eyelids are thinning in our middle age like the skin on the back of our hands. Five a.m. rolls around these days and for some reason, the eyelids roll up like cartoon window blinds. Gone are the days when sleeping in was not only a pleasure but, at times, a necessity. But none of the aforementioned reasons are really why curtains could soon be adorning the multitude of windows in our rural home. An ungrateful avian, who dined on our dime all winter, has returned with a vengeance. That darned little sparrow that spent his days pecking at the kitchen and bedroom windows last summer has returned and taken his game up a notch. Must be the playoff atmosphere we have in Canada right now. With no nest to be found in any of the shrubbery, he’s upped the ante and is currently pecking away at four or five windows despite my best efforts to shoo him away. We’ve placed bird decals on the windows and he seems to be under the impression that he’s the leader of the flock. I swear he’s giving me the feather during his constant attacks and I just can’t take it anymore. It’s time to draw the curtain on his antics once and for all. And if the curtains don’t work, I have an owl waiting in the wings. Victory will be mine.

So far, about four months before the September 12 filing deadline, seven candidates are vying for six councillor seats around the table. The latest to throw his hat into the ring is Brian Ostrander, who is looking to make a political comeback after an unsuccessful run for mayor in the 2010 election. With two terms (20032010) of experience on council, he says, this time out, it’s “with an eye on refocusing the municipal vision to tackle infrastructure issues; drive economic development policies and practices; and provide greater accountability and responsibility for the citizens.� “We all agree that there

of the community as a whole,� said Huizinga. After observing the workings of council throughout the current term, he says he is committed to non-partisan politics and his vote at the council table “will be dictated, not by somebody on council telling me how to vote, it’ll be because the members of the community told me how to vote.� “I’m going to get my answers by reaching out to the community,� he added. “I really like this town. There’s so much spirit here and I want to start giving back to my community.� “I would like to serve Brighton by tackling the issues that are really important to the long-term well-being of the whole community,� said Vink. “I would like to see council working toward common goals and putting good policies in place to ensure the economic health of Brighton.� The idea of running for local council is one she has entertained for a long time. “Now that my kids are grown, it’s a way of serving the community that interests me,� she said. And with a background as financial administrator for the not-for-profit Quinte Christian High School she sees some similarities in “working with someone else’s money.� “It would be great if we could all say we’re not going to spend money on anything, but it’s not a reality,� she said, citing concerns in infrastructure as well as supporting local business, encouraging tourism and maintaining community facilities for

School to host open house Saturday News - Corbyville - Those with fond memories of Harmony Public School would be wise to attend an open house the school is hosting this Saturday. Anyone who misses it may not get a chance to enter again. The school, located in Belleville’s rural north end, is opening its doors to the public from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday, May 10. This event is to celebrate the friendships and memories made at the school during its

lifespan from 1960 to 2014, and also the one-room school house that led to the school’s existence. Harmony Public School, located at 626 Harmony Road, is scheduled to be demolished following the end of this school year, as construction of a new version of the school, located at the same site, is expected to be completed by September. Memorabilia and photos will be on display in classrooms, during the open house.

People who would like to loan items for the open house are invited to call the school at 613-962-7867. All items will be returned, school officials say. Guests at the event can also pre-order a light meal for $6, which will include beef-on-a-bun, a hot dog or salad with a drink and dessert. To order email <harmony@hpedsb.on.ca>, or call 613-9627867 ext. 222.

The alternative voting system has resulted in a dramatic increase in the local numbers, which were 56.1 per cent in 2006 and 58.23 per cent in 2010. Across Ontario, the average voter turnout was 38.6 per cent in 2006 and increased to 49 per cent in 2010 thanks to more municipalities using alternative voting methods says the Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario (AMCTO). As well, the municipal office at 35 Alice Street will be extending hours at election time: on October 18 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on October 27 from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Voters are encouraged to log onto <www.voterlookup.ca> to ensure they are on the list and eligible to cast a ballot.

for another term. “I want to be part of a team that restores our reputation and brings renewed respect for our municipality.� Also on the ballot are incumbents Mike Vandertoorn and Mark Walas in the race for mayor. Voters go to the polls on October 27. At a recent meeting, council approved retaining vote-bymail in Brighton and the use of vote-counting equipment for the fall election. “For several elections now, the Municipality of Brighton has used vote by mail,� said CAO Gayle Frost, in her report. “It seems to be very well accepted by the electors in Brighton and we should be proud that we pretty much top Ontario for voter turnout.�

We need to get back to the basic stuff. You basically can’t walk anywhere in Brighton without finding a broken sidewalk, if there is a sidewalk.� As of press time this week, they join incumbents Emily Rowley and Tom Rittwage on the ballot. “Although there have been challenges in this term of council, it’s time to put it behind us and move forward with a positive attitude for the future of our community,� said Rowley, when asked why she is running

Quinte Economic Development Commission follows leads By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - The board of directors of Quinte Economic Development Commission is excited about what’s happening in the Quinte region. “We are following 58 leads and 36 opportunities, presenting about 1,000 jobs,� reported Vicki Bristow Ferguson, business development officer, at the April 29 meeting. Executive director Chris King said they need to promote what is made in the Bay of Quinte region. “We need to ramp this up,� he said. “Show our pride.� A promotional campaign, “Proudly made in Bay of Quinte region� is providing local product sample thank-you boxes to clients. Mike Hewitt, Manufacturing Resource Centre, has been busy meeting with manufacturers to promote apprenticeship programs through Loyalist College. Mayor John Williams asked why the unemployment rate statistics are up this year in the Quinte area. “The numbers have jumped huge,� he said. Chris King said the statistics are based on phone calls to 1,000 households and the survey may be flawed. “How could we lose 5,000 jobs?� he asked. “We can’t figure out where the numbers come from.� He noted that no more people are collecting EI benefits. Linda Lisle, economic direc-

tor for Quinte West, said they had 44 employers at the recent fair with over 1,000 job seekers. Karen Poste from Belleville added, “There are more jobs than ever before.� Elisha Purchase from Brighton said they are working on bringing business and tourism to their municipality. The industrial park is set to open in June. Mayor Mark Walas commented that Elisha was “a breath of fresh air for Brighton.� Linda Lisle said Quinte West is working on leads from the recent Explore the Core event and also on 80 surveys completed in the downtown with results to be reviewed by May 20. Karen Poste said there are lots of building permits in Belleville including major renovations, with a real healthy mix of commercial and residential. She noted that a Sears job fair at the end of March attracted 19 employers looking to hire former Sears employees who had lost their jobs. Ann Drennan, dean of Loyalist College, said the open houses have been well attended with more students than ever confirmed in welding courses. Student links with industry are increasing including students in GlobalMed and several construction students building a cabin for Ontario Parks. Chuck O’Malley said they are increasing their digital outreach and upgrading skills here so workers do not have to go abroad. Glenn Kozak of Trenval said

they gave out 33 loans last year worth $2.5 million, the busiest in their 22-year history. The cash reserves are down and they may have to borrow more money. “It’s a good problem to have,� he said. Kozak said Trenval is working with Cogeco for ten half-hour episodes highlighting businesses that have been helped by Trenval in Trenton and Belleville areas. The series is on Wednesdays and again on Saturday and Sunday. “This is drama in its highest form,� he said. Kozak added that they are working on the Natural History Museum in Phase 2 now with architect drawings and cost estimates completed. A promotional video will highlight the museum through social media like YouTube and Google. They have filed for corporation status as Trenval turns the project over to the larger community. “This is a regional initiative,� he said. He noted that Chris King, Suzanne Andrews and Glenn Kozak are the three founding members and are looking for more people to commit to the project. Dan Borowec, director economic development and tourism for Northumberland County, said the new agribusiness centre just east of the Big Apple is a niche processing plant as a second source of farm income. The $2-million investment is also a partnership with food programs in Loyalist and Durham colleges. The program is ready to start this fall.

News – NorthumberlandQuinte West – The top three vote-getters in Northumberland-Quinte West in the last provincial election will square off again when Ontarians go to the polls June 12. Progressive Conservative MPP Rob Milligan will be looking to retain the seat he won in 2011 by fewer than 700 votes over Liberal candidate Lou Rinaldi, who represented the riding for two terms, while NDP candidate Kira Mees hopes to move up from her third-place finish three years ago. The election was called after NDP Leader Andrea Horwath said her party would not support the Liberals’ budget unveiled May 1.

called, as are “most Ontarians. “They can’t afford this government, and this government can’t be trusted any longer,� he said. Milligan said the scandals that have plagued the Liberals – the gas plants fiasco, “the mismanagement of money� at ORNGE, E-health, “the list goes on� -are “going to be a huge hit for them� and they “will be held to account� June 12. Rinaldi said “the premier has acknowledged certain things should have been different and there is a process in place to make sure that does not happen again.� But he said the PCs also have skeletons in their closet, pointing out that when they last held office, “they virtually gave away the 407 and since then $17 billion (has) gone to Spain.� However, “two wrongs don’t make a right and I accept that, so there are some challenges,� he admitted. Mees said her party chose to withdraw its support when it became “clear that really the promises made in the last budget weren’t kept, such as automobile insurance and the office of fiscal accountability,� leading to the conclusion that minority government “just wasn’t working. “The budget was full of some grand promises ... really designed to distract the voter from the gas plant scandal and mismanagement,� she said. Milligan said “the number one issue� he hears from people in the riding is the same as the last election – the rising cost Please see “Key� on page 11

Silver-medallist speaks on mental illness News - Belleville - Many Canadians recognize Elizabeth Manley from her silver medal win at the 1988 Olympics Winter Games in Calgary. But on Tuesday, April 29, at Albert College, Eliza-

beth spoke about more than just winning medals. Born in Belleville and raised in Trenton, Manley grew up in a hockey family with her three older brothers. A self-

proclaimed “Base brat with a capital B,� Manley was first put in figure skating to keep her out of trouble while at the ice rink. “My desire to be the best in the world at such a young age and going through family changes took its toll and I entered my journey to the Olympics in 1983 suffering from serious emotional issues that I couldn’t understand or address.� Manley made her mandate clear as

she addressed the crowd; to take the stigma away from mental illness, end shame and begin a conversation. In sharing her personal struggle, she hopes to inspire others to speak up and share their own. “So many have given to Elizabeth Manley, it’s my turn to give back and it’s therapeutic for me.� Manley will be inducted into the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame in October 2014.

Manley was speaking at Albert College, as part of the annual Lorne L. Shewfelt Memorial Lecture, held each year in memory of Albert College’s 11th headmaster (1969-1979), who had an avid passion for education and higher knowledge. The Shewfelt Memorial Lecture is aimed to inform and inspire students at Albert College and within our greater community.

sure a magic wand will work. That’s been tried before and it certainly didn’t work.� Mees offered the same view. “We need a job creation plan that’s not just tax cuts,� she said, and results in fulltime jobs with “livable� wages, not parttime positions where “you know you just can’t make ends meet.� Milligan said his party’s job creation plans include increasing the number of apprentices being trained to 250,000 over the next eight years to enlarge the province’s highly skilled workforce.

of energy. Mees agreed, saying “people are thinking about their hydro bills and just wondering when are the increases ever going to stop.� All three candidates said job creation is key, but they dismissed each other party’s proposals on how to make that happen. Rinaldi scoffed at the Tories’ claim they are “going to create a million jobs over eight years and their mantra is just cut taxes and that will happen. I’m not

Relay leaves from Afghanistan Memorial

sented to the Prime Minister, who will accept the flag on behalf of all Canadians. The Soldier On Afghanistan Relay began in Trenton on May 4 and ran through Belleville, Tyendinaga and Napanee on its first day. The launch ceremony involved participation by Member of Parliament for Northumberland-Quinte West Rick Norlock, Mayor John Williams, and Major-General David Millar, Chief of Military Personnel. “We are proud of the brave men and women who fought so bravely in Afghanistan,” Millar said to a crowd gathered at the memorial in Bain Park on a cold Sunday morning. Mayor John Williams said it is appropriate this relay is starting here at the site of many repatriations. Major Jay Feyco from Soldier On said he was blessed to be standing here representing the relay. He said ten years ago he had a bad The Soldier On relay team at the Afghanistan memorial.

News - Quinte West - During the six days leading up to the National Day of Honour on May 9, a team of 19 Canadians (current and former military members, RCMP, civilian) who suffered an illness or injury while serving during Canada’s contribution to the Afghanistan mission, will run, walk, and wheel through communities between Trenton and Ottawa. The Soldier On Afghanistan Relay members will take turns carrying a baton holding the last Canadian flag to have flown at the International Security Assistance Force Headquarters in Kabul, Afghanistan. The relay is a way for Soldier On to thank Canadians for their incredible support, to honour the sacrifices of a Nation, and to raise awareness of the programs available to ill and injured members. The flag will arrive on Parliament Hill for the National Day of Honour ceremony and will be pre-

Battle of the Atlantic remembered in Fraser Park

By Kate Everson

News - Trenton - The sombre ringing of the bell in Fraser Park on Sunday, May 4, represented each of the Canadian vessels lost in the Battle of the Atlantic in World War II. “We have been having this ceremony for many years, probably from the beginning in 1946,” said Master of Ceremonies Lieutenant (N) Brigitte Quesnel. Leading Seaman Ben Bell from RCSCC Napanee sounded the bell to represent the navy warships including six destroyers, 12 corvettes, four minesweepers and three patrol vessels and armed auxiliaries. Seven torpedo boats were also lost in the English Channel mostly at D Day in 1944. Their territories stretched from Halifax and the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the Coast of Iceland, the North Atlantic and the English Channel as well as the Spanish coast. The service included the laying of wreaths in the water off the dock by Legionnaire Doug Fairman, assisted by Lieutenant (N) Shawn Fairbrother of RCSCC Trent, RAF/RCAF Coastal Command Legionnaire Evert MacLean with Captain Garret Watts of 704 Royal Canadian Air Cadets, and Merchant Marine Legionnaire Bob Gilmore accompanied by Midshipman Adele Plumb of NLCC Trentonian. They were ac-

companied by Mayor John Williams for the March Past. The address and scripture were given by Captain Reverend Flor Gerson. Lines of commemoration were read by Legion Branch 110 Ted Roberts. CPO1 Hunter Hannah from RCSCC Trenton read the Naval Prayer. “Preserve us from the dangers of the sea, and from the violence of the enemy,” the prayer reads. The colours were paraded by Royal Canadian Legion Branch 110. The Quinte Living Centre Band played in the Ted Snider Bandshell. Bugler was Captain Kelly Dixon and piper Sergeant Grier. Parade Marshal was Tommy Thomas and Colour Party Command Buck McCarty. On September 3, 1939, the Athenia was sunk off the costs of Northern Ireland. One week later, Canada was officially at war. From that day, until the last of the German Uboard surrendered on VE Day in May, 1945, the Allied Navies and Air Forces could not relax a moment in their vigilance. Battle of the Atlantic Sunday commemorates the sacrifices of sailors, merchant seamen, RCAF and Canadian Army personnel who gave their lives in the North Atlantic. The Royal Canadian Navy gave to the struggle over 2,000 dead and 24

warships. More than 900 RCAF and Army personnel were lost as well. The elements were often as vicious as the foe, with the raging storms, pack ice, bitter cold, fog and the dense blackness of the north Atlantic nights. The Royal Canadian Navy and the Merchant Navy made nearly 26,000 safe crossings, carrying over 181 million tons of supplies to Great Britain. After the ceremony in the cold May wind the group was glad to relax at the Legion with a lunch provided by the Ladies Auxiliary.

Legionnaires throw the wreaths into the water off Fraser Park.

Presenting flowers to Cora Bailey recipient Pat Pepper was past president Marie Mitchell. She noted that Pat retired from the Northumberland Board of Education and has taken on many active roles in the RWTO. For two terms from 2002 to 2004 Pat was a telephone caller. In 2003 to 2004 Pat volunteered to take on the president’s role when the president had ill health. “This was even more challenging since she had not served on the executive at all!� Marie noted. “She truly deserves our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation as she came to our rescue at this time of need,� she added.

Crime Stoppers is for youth too: police “It’s good that we’re getting that information.” Last year there was an increase in calls and Covell says they’re on the “same track” for 2014. They receive about 15 to 20 tips a week and solve two to three cases. She says the program has benefited greatly from their online tip address, <www.stopcrimehere.ca> and hope to have a smartphone app by the fall. “We usually get one or two web tips but last week six of the 12 that came in were web,” Covell says. The online address allows tipsters to file information quickly and it allows Crime Stoppers to communicate anonymously, but directly, with the respondent. “We can ask more questions or if there’s a successful resolution we can tell them right away,” Covell said. The telephone app is “one more way of keeping up with technology so we can be accessed easier.” The school visits also give students a chance to take home brochures for their parents. “Sometimes as adults you don’t realize Crime Stoppers is there,” Covell said. “We keep telling kids that no part of information is too small. That could be the one little piece in a bigger puzzle that can get a warrant or get a child to safety. It might not mean a lot to the tipster but it means a lot to the investigator.” Constable Covell has been with the OPP for ten years and says the two-year posting to Crime Stoppers has been an interesting change. Her colleague with the Peterborough-Lakefield Community Police gets a four-year posting. Because of the call volume and geography the program needs two officers, she

News - Hastings - Peterborough-Northumberland Crime Stoppers is reminding young people that the program is for them too. “We’re letting the kids know that Crime Stoppers is also for them,” said Northumberland OPP Constable Tracey Covell, also a Crime Stoppers co-ordinator, during a visit to Hastings Public School where she spoke to Grade 6 to 8 students. Constable Covell has been visiting elementary schools across Northumberland to “bring the program a little bit more into the schools.” Grade 6 to 8 is a good age group to address, she says. “It’s good starting out at this age because it sets the stage for what kind of school and community you want. We’re letting them know they can protect their friends and keep their community safe as well. They are taking more ownership of their school,” Constable Covell said in an interview. “We want to get that message out [now] that they’re not rats and they’re not going to get in trouble, they’re actually doing the right thing and they’re going to help somebody and they’re going to keep themselves safe.” “We notice that there are more calls after we visit schools,” she adds. “It provides them with an outlet to provide us with more information without having to speak to the police or being scared of being beat up by kids. We find that we are getting lots of calls from kids regarding bullying and mischief in schools.” They’re also receiving information about children who their schoolmates fear might be victims of child abuse, Covell adds.

attracting and hanging on to new industries as “new economic wealth” in the community as opposed to circulating existing wealth, such as going to a restaurant. New dollars from industry has a multiplying factor in the local economy of “3.25” he said. With an aging population, he predicted the area will need “1,000 new workers” over the next few years, just from retirements, not counting new industries expected to come on stream. He reviewed his agency’s strategic marketing to sectors such as food processing, packaging, aerospace and plastics. He also reported on efforts to promote increased

sales of “made local” products and industries helping to supply each other’s production needs. Poste reviewed a list of 38 manufacturing plants just in Belleville alone, some established for many years, and some having opened in recent months. They represent a wide range of products: parachutes, foods, sports equipment, auto parts, carpet floor tiles, plastic packaging films, medical products, monuments, specialized metals, fire safety systems, chemicals, protective clothing, dairy products and more. Employment levels varied between a dozen or so up to more

than 1,000 in the case of the Autosystems Manufacturing. She described the wide range of industrial activities as Belleville’s “saving grace,” in that often if one sector is having problems on local or international markets, other sectors fill in the gap. “Our manufacturing community is diversified and stable,” she said. She noted that at the recent job fair, which is held twice a year, almost 45 exhibitors were recruiting and about 1,000 potential workers attended. The next job fair will be in October under a schedule of trying to hold one twice a year, said Poste.

Get ready for Relay for Life

News - Belleville - The Canadian Cancer Society is getting ready for Relay for Life events across Canada later this spring and a couple of events in the local region this weekend will help get people in the mood for the wildly popular fund raiser. The Crystal Palace in Picton will host what’s being dubbed as “The Mother of All Vendor Sales,” an event in which 53 vendors will sell products, with proceeds going to one Relay for Life team’s fundraising efforts. The event runs from 10 a.m. to Chris King and Karen Poste were joint presenters on the topic of manufactur4 p.m., on Saturday, May 10, at the ing in the Quinte area at the Chamber of Commerce breakfast Wednesday in the Palace, at 375 Main Street. Travelodge Hotel. Photo: Jack Evans Angela Henry, a Belleville

woman, is organizing the event with fellow members of her relay team, Rebels for a Cause. The funds raised from the show will go toward her team’s fund-raising contributions, when it competes in the Picton Relay for Life on June 6. She said the show will feature a range of vendors from those selling candles and jewellery to purses and clothes. “If you can think of it we’ll have it,” she said. Henry said she’s also selling pink hair extensions for donations and a photographer will be on hand to offer Mother’s Day shoots for families. The event is meant to coincide with Mother’s Day, taking

place the next day. There’s no admission to enter the event. For more information call Henry at 613-885-5443. Another event planned this weekend, is meant to draw attention to the Belleville relay taking place Friday, June 20, at Loyalist College. Organizers for the Relay are holding a “Media Launch” event, Saturday, May 10, at the Avaya parking lot, off Sidney Street. The event is expected to include a media jousting match to fit the event’s “Story Book Land” theme. The theme was chosen because organizers hope to re-write cancer’s story this year because, as its promotional poster says, “every-

one deserves a happy ending.” The Relay for Life is a flagship event for the Canadian Cancer Society, as it raises millions of dollars every year in communities across Canada. The Relays see teams of people affected by cancer take turns walking overnight around a track, lit up by luminaries placed in honour of people who’ve either survived or died of cancer. The funds raised, through pledges, luminary purchases and other means, supports cancer research, services and supports for people living with the disease and education and prevention programs.

Percy students have eyes opened making new recipes By John Campbell

News - Trent Hills - When asked why he’s running again for council, the municipality’s longest serving politician, Bill Thompson, answers with a question of his own, and then gives the answer: “Why wouldn’t I? I love the job.” And the voters obviously love what he’s doing. He’s been in politics 28 years, serving first on Seymour Township and then Campbellford-Seymour, before Trent Hills was formed in 2001. “We’ve got a great thing going and I’d just like to be part of it [for another four years],” he says, pointing out there’s always work to be done—keeping equipment up-to-date and roads up to standard, and following through on plans that have been made. for family doctor’s office. “It’s a good job … [and] things are working real well,” he says. “I enjoy Full or part time. council, and we don’t really have any Computer skills an asset. issues.” The owner of William J.

One of the teachers, Peter Brackenbury, who was instrumental in getting the school’s ecology garden going, will “keep an eye on it” over the summer, with the help of a few students in Warkworth who can drop by the school to water the plants and do some weeding, Lyon said.

Prizes will be awarded at the Warkworth Fall Fair according to grade. “The whole idea is to get the kids involved in growing their own food and [developing] an appreciation for what it takes,” Lyon said. In the same vein, volunteers put in two raised beds, four by eight feet, in front of the school last

portunity for “good socializing activity outside of the regular classroom,” he said. And since January, the students have been making muffins, cookies and other foods for Percy’s breakfast program, “doing something good for their fellow students.” Grade 7/8 teacher Julianna Anderson said “it’s been a great bonding experience” for her students. “Socially, it gets them to know each other in a different environment.” She’s also noticed “a big change” in their measuring skills which she believes will “carry over … when they’re learning about fractions in class, which is pretty awesome.” Anderson said the students have “tried foods they never tried before,” which is “opening their eyes to eating in a different way.” The class is divided into three groups, to make the classes more manageable, so each group takes classes every third week. “They look forward to it,” Anderson said. It’s also showing them they “can learn outside of school [from] people besides your teacher, which is valuable, too.” In addition to promoting healthy eating and food preparation skills, The Abundance Project encourages sustainable growing practices and it’s enlisted the entire school in this effort. Every student was given seeds on Earth Day to be-

News - Warkworth - What’s not to like about a school assignment that’s fun to do and tastes pretty good when you’re done. Grade 7/8 students at Percy Centennial Public School are finding out just how enjoyable a school nutrition program can be with the help of Pat Stuckless, a public health food worker, and the support of The Abundance Project. “It’s been really great,” said Olivia Rapos last week at the end of a two-hour session in which she and several of her schoolmates made muffins and turned strawberries, raspberries and bananas into an ice cream-like dessert. “It’s actually fun, I’ve never really experienced anything like it at school before,” added Brooke-Lynn Stinson. “The Abundance Project is all about healthy eating,” said its coordinator David Lyon. “What we’re trying to do here is introduce the kids to cooking … [and] recipes that they, hopefully, will take home and make.” Stuckless, from the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit, “has been very good” at teaching the students cooking skills and having them prepare dishes that are low in fat and sugar and high in fibre, “to get them away from sugar and highly processed food,” Lyon said. The classes, which have been held every Monday afternoon in St. Paul’s United Church’s kitchen facilities since last fall, are not just about cooking, they’re also an op-

News - Belleville - If you’re a women in business and you would like an opportunity to socialize and build relationships that can help you grow a career, then you may want to join The Power of WE. The new and locally run group is an offspring of the Power of Women Exchange, an organization for women entrepreneurs, which had a Bellevillearea chapter several years ago. That organization dissolved in 2011, but in the years since Lorraine Harvey, a Brighton-based businesswoman, has worked to grow a new and similar organization called the Power of WE (Women EntrepreFree Admission

neurs). It’s now grown to a point where it has 26 regular members, who attend monthly lunch meetings at the Amica at Quinte Gardens, at 30 College Street West, on the fourth Tuesday of every month (except July). It also recently launched a monthly “mix and mingleâ€? program, which takes place on the ďŹ rst Tuesday of every month, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Belleville Club, at Bridge and Pinnacle streets downtown. These events and other Power of WE meetings are all about helping women network and build new friendships that can help advance their careers. Harvey stressed that a woman does not have to be an entrepreneur to participate. The group represents all kinds of professionals, from those with home-based businesses, to real estate agents, to ďŹ nancial planners and others in unique careers. “It’s for anyone, it doesn’t matter if you’re in business or not, just come and meet people,â€? Harvey said, noting that it’s perfectly okay to talk about your children, your family or other non-business related topics at the mix and mingle. She said network groups, such as The Power of WE, are important for women because women are more inclined to do business with other women they trust. “Women build business through relationships,â€? she said. “There’s a

trust factor that has to be there. Once you get to know someone and you trust someone, you have no problem referring them to friends.� She also said the group serves an important purpose for young mothers, who need support to grow their businesses and, in some cases, need adult companionship after spending a lot of days at home. “We don’t grow your business for you, but we’ll certainly give you the encouragement and support,� she said. One interesting thing about the Power of WE is that it’s an original group that runs solely out of the Quinte region. While the Power of Women Exchange had local chapters, there is only one Power of WE. It hosts events only in the local area, but women from anywhere are invited to join. Harvey stressed that some participants come from areas such as Cobourg and Durham to attend events. She hopes the organization will grow and said the mix and mingle event, which debuted recently, is receiving positive feedback. “The energy in the room is what brings people back,� she said. “It’s wonderful, it’s a great group of women.� A yearly membership fee to join the Power of WE costs $60.

QAC to host 20th annual Recognition Awards luncheon By Stephen Petrick

While the arts council can’t take sole credit for that growth, it does encourage these types of groups and works to promote art in the region. It helps spread the word about local artists and events and co-ordinates workshops and education programs to nurture the region’s creative talent, Bauer said. “We try to keep the arts in people’s minds,” she said, explaining that a strong arts council can drive tourism and economic growth. The QAC is a non-profit group and its funds come from membership fees, private donations and some public funds, Bauer said, explaining that the City of Belleville supports it. Although the recognition awards ceremony is still a week away, this year’s recipients have already been announced: writer and historian Gerald Boyce; theatre director Elizabeth Marshall; musician Richard Penner; artisans Connie Yrjola, Barb Forgie and Cara Hunter of We Create Artisan Events; and sound technicians Paul Johnson and Rob Kellough of Through The Cedars Music Production. The fact that this list represents a diverse number of medias is fitting, Bauer said, considering the vast amount of talent in the region. She said the QAC represents artists east to Kingston, west to Port Hope and north to Ban-

croft. And every year, it seems, new creative people tend to move into this region. “It’s become more known as an area that nurtures the arts,” she said. “You can see the difference in [Prince Edward County] but also north of us, too. A lot of people are moving here. They’re people who have retired and have more time to pursue their artistic ambitions. When there’s artists moving into the community you get a richer kind of culture.” Here is more information on this year’s nominations. Gerald Boyce was nominated for his tenacious support and promotion of local history. His own books, such as Belleville, a Popular History (2008) have helped preserve the historical record of this city while Historic Hastings (1967) is the definitive history of the region. At age 80, he continues to serve as an active heritage advisor to the Hastings County Historical Society.” Elizabeth (Liz) Marshall has been a strong pillar of the Belleville Theatre Guild for more than four decades. Her involvement has covered almost every facet of the life of the Guild. She has served on the boards of directors, and play-reading committees planning the productions for each season. She has also served in many capacities behind the scenes, running the gamut as producer, de-

Lifestyles - Belleville - When the Quinte Arts Council (QAC) hosts its Mayor’s Luncheon for the Arts on May 15, it will be doing more than just honouring some of the area’s most talented and creative minds. It will also be celebrating 20 years of handing out its Arts Recognition Awards and 20 years of fostering a great art culture in the Quinte region. This year’s event takes place from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Park Ballroom at the Travelodge Hotel, 11 Bay Bridge Road, Belleville. Tickets are $35, which includes a fourcourse lunch. For tickets call 613-962-1232 or visit the QAC office at 36 Bridge Street East in downtown Belleville. QAC artist and member services officer Carol Bauer said that, over the last 20 years, government grants for artists have dried up and several similar arts councils across the nation have had to close. But, “the fact that this one is still going shows that the community supports it,” she said. On a personal level, she said she has been impressed with how well the arts community has grown from the time she first moved to the region more than 20 years ago. The growth of theatre companies in Belleville, Stirling and Picton over the last two decades is a perfect example.

signer, and actor. In 1991 she won the Ottawa Little Theatre Trophy as Best Director for The Death of a Salesman, the Theatre Guild’s entry in that year’s Eastern Ontario Drama League Spring Play Festival. In addition to her full-time career as a teacher, (now retired), Liz has devoted 42 years of her life to the Belleville Theatre Guild, helping to bring outstanding community theatre at its finest to countless audiences in those decades.” Richard (Rick) Penner’s love of music, both secular and religious, has moved him to volunteer his time and talent wherev-

er he has lived. He’s played for a number of Belleville Theatre Guild productions. He’s played organ and directed the choir at St. Matthew’s United Church in Belleville and at St. John the Baptist Anglican Church in Madoc. A group award will go to Connie Yrjola, Barb Forgie and Cara Hunter of We Create Artisan Events. All three ladies are tireless contributors to our arts community through their many artistic projects. Between them, they have produced countless artisan shows. This year will mark the fifth annual Mother of All Craft Shows, the third an-

nual Kaleidoscope, a celebration of craft and design and the fifth annual Mistletoe Magic Artisan Show. Paul Johnson and Rob Kellough will receive an award for their business, Through the Cedars Music Production. They are deeply entrenched in the artistic fabric of their community and do their job without question or complaint. Quite often, event technicians are the first to arrive and last to leave and long days can be the norm. Both Paul and Rob exemplify a professional standard from which “big city” technicians could learn.

Showtime at St. Mary school

School bus ends up in ditch on Telephone Road

By Sue Dickens

Entertainment – Campbellford - It will be show time at St. Mary Catholic Elementary School in Campbellford, on Wednesday, May 7, and Thursday, May 8, as students present the popular musical production of “Annie Jr.â€? Set in depression era New York, Annie, played by Grade 5 student Morgan Hardy, tells the hard knock life of an orphan determined to ďŹ nd her parents who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of a New York City Orphanage run by the evil Miss Hannigan, played by Grade 8 student Kristen Doyle. In a hilarious series of adventures, Annie foils Miss Hannigan’s machinations, befriends President Franklin Roosevelt and manages to ďŹ nd a new family in billionaire Oliver “Daddyâ€? Warbucks, played by Grade 8 student Sam Brunton. “Its fast-moving plot and exuberant characters have made Annie one of the most beloved musicals

in history,â€? states Michelle Chesser, teacher and director of the production. “The bright, tuneful score is easy to sing and is ďŹ lled with many familiar numbers. Annie Jr. also provides us with an opportunity to study the Depression and to address such issues as unemployment, homelessness and adoption.â€? “Our exciting stage production of Annie Jr. is ďŹ lled with a talented, young, vibrant group of students as cast members,â€? says Virginia Marini, principal. “Everyone is invited to come and see our amazing singers, dancers and performers re-live the songs you know and love from the musical. This is certainly a production one should not miss.â€? Tickets are $5 for adults and $2 for children/ students and free for St. Mary students. To purchase tickets, please call St. Mary Catholic Elementary School, Campbellford at 705653-1370.

Workers clean up after removing a school bus from a ditch on Telephone Road between Middle and Scriver roads. The bus entered the ditch shortly before 8 a.m. May 2. Seven of the 16 children on board were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and later released. The driver, a 71-year-old man, was also transported to hospital for medical concerns and to undergo tests. The bus was en route from Brighton to Trenton Christian School and then Quinte Christian School. Photo: John Campbell

Houston is a very handsome and sweet boy. His foster mom calls him her gentle giant, as he is a big boy. He loves to be close to you and gives head butts. He likes other cats and I’m sure he would be good with a dog if introduced properly. Houston has had some quite adventurous times. Houston needs to be an indoor only cat and would be a good fit in just about any forever home. Please remember kitten season is here and we need loving foster homes so we can rescue some of the helpless ones and find them loving forever homes. Without foster homes we are unable to rescue and the cats and kittens will have to be returned to an undeserved life outside without the love and care they should have. At Cat Care Spay Neuter Initiative (CCSNI) we have an adoption process which includes an

Annual Bridge Hospice Walk-a-thon raises $4,500, the most in its four-year history By Sue Dickens

News – Warkworth – In spite of a cold gloomy rainy day loyal supporters of The Bridge Hospice showed up to brave the weather for the fourth annual fundraising walk-a-thon. According to organizers there was a great turnout and just over $4,500 was raised, “the most yet,� for The Bridge Hospice. This year there was a bit of a twist to the format as a scavenger hunt added to the excitement for the walkers as they travelled along the Millennium Trail and through downtown Warkworth. Taking along a list of questions to sleuth out the answers the walkers were asked for information along

the way such as how many cookies are in the window of the Sprucewood Handmade Cookie Company or what is the licence number on the boat at Johnston Co. Automotive or what is the animal on the township of Percy Crest or when was St. Paul’s United Church built. All the answers could be found on signs, plaques or near the item on the list making the walk more interesting and providing some fun for participants. Organizers and directors Elizabeth Aikenhead, Dr. Bob Henderson (chair of the board of directors) and Martha Murphy were at the registration desk as participants signed up for the morning event held last

Saturday. As co-chairs of the committee spearheading the walk this year they wanted to make sure everyone had the information they needed to follow the walking route which saw members of the Warkworth Community Service Club at various crossing points to ensure everyone’s safety. Bob Rowe, a longtime board member, was there with several of his grandchildren. “We did it last year and it was a lot of fun,â€? said Emma Lamanne, who explained she is turning eight this year. She was joined by Rowe’s other grandchildren seven-year-old Claire Rowe, four-year-old Wade Rowe and eight-year-old Colin Rowe. “We did it before and liked it,â€? agreed Colin. “We’re delighted this year to partner with Closing the Gap. They are so enthusiastic about the walk-a-thon,â€? commented Aikenhead. Yianni Soumalias, director of business development for Closing the Gap, was on hand to provide information to walkers about its services. “We were recently awarded public funds to deliver physiotherapy services in the Campbellford area and because we are an active member of the community we wanted to give back and provide an opportunity for the hospice,â€? Soumalias told the Trent Hills Independent. This stream of funding from the Ministry of Health was awarded to 200 physiotherapy clinics across Ontario with public funds to deliver services. Their clinic in Campbellford is located in the Trent Hills Family Health Team’s medical centre across from Campbellford’s hospital. “We are hoping the funding for the physiotherapy clinic remains in the community so that is why we are spreading the word and that is why we are here today, to make the community aware of the services that are available to them,â€? Soumalias explained. This is the ďŹ rst year that Closing the Gap has sponsored the walk-a-thon. The Bridge Hospice receives no government funding and relies on its many volunteers and donors. For more information go to www. closingthegap.ca or call 705-653-0551. For more information about the hospice go to: www.thebridgehospice. com The annual general meeting will be held June 12.

Exercise is an essential element of a healthy lifestyle. Including exercise in your daily routine can lower your risk for diabetes, heart disease and stroke, and exercise can even sharpen mental acuity, reduce anxiety and improve mood. But as beneďŹ cial as exercise can be, many men and women, particularly men and women over the age of 50, who have not laced up their sneakers in years are hesitant to begin an exercise regimen for a variety of reasons, potentially putting their longterm health at risk.

Regardless of a person’s age, beginning a new exercise regimen can be intimidating. But it’s especially so for men and women over the age of 50, who might not know where to begin or how to approach adopting a healthier lifestyle. According to the National Institute on Aging, the following are a few points men and women should know as they attempt to improve their physical ďŹ tness with a more active lifestyle. • Exercise is safe even if you have not been physically active in a long time.

Brunton said parents are showing a preference to have their children play two-day tournaments in modern arenas. “It’s hurting the smaller town tournaments like we have here,� he said. The association is “thinking about trying something different� next season, such as combining tournaments for more than one age group over a weekend. Brunton served notice that one parent in each family will be required to complete an online course, Respect in Hockey, in order to register their children as players.

Andrea Dunkley, outgoing president of the Campbellford Minor Hockey Association Ladies Auxiliary, on the left, paid tribute to the auxiliary’s newest life member, Deanna Patfield, an honour recognizing her dedication and outstanding contributions. Patfield, a past president who continues to volunteer as timekeeper/announcer, has agreed to return to her former post, which she will share with another auxiliary member, Lisa Ellis.

News - Campbellford - With registration declining and revenues dropping, the Campbellford Minor Hockey Association (CMHA) will have to adjust to changing circumstances. Registration fees fell by “quite a substantial amountâ€? to $55,025 over the 12-month period ending March 31, because the association had two fewer teams, treasurer Nancy Boivin told parents at the CMHA annual general meeting May 3. So the fees, which are currently among “the lowest in the area,â€? will have “to go up slightlyâ€? next season, she said. The association also saw income from tournament fees drop signiďŹ cantly, by about $15,000 to $9,400 because far fewer tournaments were held in Campbellford, just three, compared to eight in years past. The result was another money-losing year, Boivin said, this time $7,735 in the red on expenditures of $141,357. The CMHA Ladies Auxiliary also “struggled a bit ‌ due to the lack of tournaments,â€? outgoing president Andrea Dunkley said. It also had to cope with reduced number of volunteers willing to work in the canteen. “We really hope to work with minor hockey to make things ‌ improve,â€? she said. CMHA president Owen Brunton said the organization has talked amalgamation with other minor hockey associations in the area but the discussions have led nowhere. Joining forces with Percy Minor Hockey Association “just doesn’t make any senseâ€? because the numbers involved “wouldn’t beneďŹ t anyone.â€? Norwood “has no interest, no desire, they don’t even want to talk about it,â€? Brunton said, but Stirling, like Campbellford,

educational program that empowers parents with the tools to ensure the game is enjoyable and respectful for themselves, their children and all other stakeholders in the game.â€? Brunton said Hockey Canada’s “biggest concernâ€? is the “huge numberâ€? of referees, some as young as 14, that have quit because of abusive behaviour by parents. “They’re actually worried about not having enough referees to cover your kids’ [hockey games] much longer,â€? he said. The meeting concluded with presentations by Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan, Councillor Rosemary Kelleher-MacLennan and CAO Mike Rutter urging the public to get behind the municipal campaign to raise a million dollars for redevelopment of recreational facilities in Campbellford, Hastings and Warkworth. The centrepiece of the $30-millionplus initiative is a new arena with aquatic centre to replace Campbellford’s functionally obsolete rink. “We need to get the community to get excited about this,â€? said Rutter, who explained the business case the municipality has put together showing it can operate the new facilities with the same amount of money it currently spends to run arenas and an outdoor swimming pool. “The numbers work,â€? Macmillan said. “Can we afford it? Absolutely.â€? Both he and Rutter urged parents to solicit support for the project from candidates in the provincial election next month and the federal election next year, as those two levels of government will need to provide two-thirds of the funding required to build the new rec centre in Campbellford. But “if people continue to talk negatively about these facilities, they’re never going to happen,â€? Macmillan said. “We need your help and support going forward.â€? Kelleher-MacLennan said the recreation and wellness centre will be an “economic driverâ€? for the community. Brunton said afterwards “a new facility will deďŹ nitely helpâ€? the association’s chances of hosting tournaments. Having a pool on site “makes a big difference,â€? he added.

It was a bit of a struggle for a few minutes to get man’s best friend to pose alongside their owners at the Bark for Life Walk-a-thon but these folks know all about struggles as they devoted their time to raise money to fight cancer at the first ever walk-a-thon in Trent Hills. It was held in conjunction with the rally for this September’s Trent Hills Relay for Life. Photo: Sue Dickens By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - The tale of how a puppy named Henry brought home the real reason why fund-raising events such as the Bark for Life walka-thon and the Trent Hills Relay for Life are so important. Virginia Hendricks, who lost her husband to cancer in 2008, spoke to walkers gathered last Sunday about just how much Henry means to her and the role he played during her husband’s battle to fight cancer. “My husband was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer in December 2008. On January 2, 2009, on our 55th wedding anniversary, we were told that Ross had six weeks to live without treatment or six months with aggressive treatment, chemo and

radiation. He chose treatment,” she bravely told walkers gathered for the walk-a-thon. Hendricks told her story of their search for a puppy at a kennel when “Henry came out from another room looked at Ross and curled up on his feet.” “Whether Ross was in bed or in his favourite chair Henry would cuddle up with him and stay with him. Eventually Ross had to go into palliative care and when I would go to the hospital every day I would tell Henry he had to watch the house. Henry would look at me then go curl up in Ross’s chair and wait for me to come home,” she explained. “Ross lived 12 months and Henry is still with me. Ross’s chair is still Henry’s favourite place to snuggle in,”

she added. Her story touched the hearts of all the walkers who were there to raise money for cancer research. “We are all here today because cancer affects your lives one way or another,” said Emily Vassiliadis, Relay for Life fund-raising co-ordinator at the Peterborough office of the Canadian Cancer Society. While the walkers headed onto the track at the Campbellford fairgrounds, dozens of people gathered inside the Red Barn where they registered their teams and picked up kits for this year’s Trent Hills Relay for Life which will take place September 5 from 7 p.m. to 12:01 a.m. The special rally held in conjunction with the Bark for Life walk-a-thon, gave team captains the opportunity to gather the information they need to make this year’s event another success. “Today is the captain’s rally. We encouraged new and old to come and find out what’s new,” commented Brooke Allan, who was busy taking names and making sure everyone received their kits and made their way to display tables. One of those displays, home to the “Fight Back Zone” was being looked after by Leona McGee who spent more than three years asking people to sign the ban so no youth 18 and under could use tanning beds. “On October 9, 2013 Bill 74 [The Skin Cancer Prevention Act] was passed. We were successful,” she said with a big grin.

McGee is already working on her next campaign, “Cancer shouldn’t come in a candy wrapper—end the flavour,” as she fights to stop the sale of candy flavoured cigarettes filled with tobacco. “Research showed in 2012, 52 per cent of children in Grades six to twelve

have already tried these products,” said McGee armed with statistics. She will be taking her message to this year’s Relay for Life. For more information go to: <http:// www.cancer.ca/en/events/on/2014/ september/relay-for-life-in-trent-hills2014/?region=on>.

Leona McGee was at the recent rally for the Trent Hills Relay for Life 2014 and is in charge of the “Fight Back Zone.” Having won her first battle by advocating for the ban of tanning beds for youth under the age of 18, she is on to her next fight, called “Cancer shouldn’t come in a Candy Wrapper—end the flavour,” as she hopes to stop the sale of candy flavoured cigarettes filled with tobacco to young people.

Trent Hills to seek funding for flood and recovery costs By John Campbell

News - Trent Hills - Council will ask the province for funding to help cover the costs the municipality and residents incurred as a result of the flooding that took place in April. The situation grew so serious that Mayor Hector Macmillan declared a state of emergency April 24 after water levels rose above those in 2008 when the last major flood occurred in Trent Hills. Since then the situation has stabilized. In a motion that was to Kent Fitzhugh, a municipal advisor with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs come before council for and Housing, explained how the Ontario Disaster Relief Assistance Pro- approval this week after press gram works. Photo: John Campbell time, the municipality said

it had “expended significant resources to protect public and private assets during the flooding event.” The application to the Ontario Disaster Relief Assistance Program for funding identifies more than two dozen locations where flooding occurred, on Concessions 1, 2, 3, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14, as well as the Gore Concession. Once the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing declares those parts affected by flooding a disaster area, based on damages that exceed the community’s resources to handle, council

will immediately appoint members to a disaster relief committee (DRC) to administer claims for assistance submitted by property owners. The maximum payment tenants, farmers, small businesses and non-profit organizations can receive is 90 per cent of eligible costs not covered by insurance. That includes restoration, repairs or the replacement of principal residences and buildings used for business, and the replacement of essential furnishings. “It’s the program of last resort, not full cost recovery,” Kent Fitzhugh, a municipal advisor with the ministry’s Kingston office, told council last week at a special meeting. It’s “designed to get them back up on their feet.” The province tops up funds raised by the DRC, at a ratio of two dollars

Scott White, general manager of infrastructure renewal and public works administration, and other Trent Hills department heads reported last week on the municipality’s response to the flooding that took place throughout the area last month. Public works and recreation staff worked almost 1,000 man hours on flood control, and more than $50,000 was spent on wages and associated costs, including the use of contractors. Volunteer firefighters provided an additional 736 hours of labour, Fire Chief Tim Blake said. Photo: John Campbell

for every one raised locally, to the 90 per cent limit, and those monies must be spent before provincial funds are provided. Mayor Hector Macmillan said the committee could face a difficult task, because “times are tough” and there are numerous other worthy causes in the community the public is already being asked to support. “There’s only so much money to go around,” he said. There’s also “a push back” by residents who resent having tax dollars spent to help people living in vulnerable areas who aren’t doing more to flood proof their properties. Fitzhugh said the disaster relief committee “sets the time needed to fund raise, it’s not mandated. “You want to get the right people, people who are unafraid to go out and fund raise,” and know how to network, he said. The municipality may recover 100 per cent of eligible expenditures it made providing emergency response, removing debris for public safety, and making repairs to infrastructure that was damaged, such as roads and bridges, However, there is a limit on what it can receive in assistance as well, one factor being the municipality’s financial capacity weighed against the impact the disaster had. How much assistance will be required had yet to be tabulated at the time of the special meeting. “We won’t know the extent of private property damage or the public(’s) until the water recedes,” CAO Mike Rutter said. Macmillan said he’s “not so sure it’s the weather” that caused water levels to surpass those recorded in 2008. “Something has changed in the operations of the TSW [Trent-Severn Waterway],” he said. Rutter agreed, saying it was a common refrain heard from victims of flooding. He and the mayor suggested Trent Hills lead an effort by municipalities along the waterway to press for a review of how the federal agency manages water levels throughout the system. “This just can’t continue,” Macmillan said. “There are too many people out there pointing fingers in the same direction. Something has changed that needs to be changed again.”

McIntosh’s artwork turns another corner

By Richard Turtle

Entertainment – Stirling – Bob McIntosh has only been painting for about seven years but the scope of his work has grown dramatically over that time. Several of his latest paintings, along with some of his earliest, are currently on display at the Stirling-Rawdon Public Library art gallery for the month of May. And it’s not McIntosh’s first exhibition there. In fact it’s not his second or his third either. “I don’t know, I think maybe four,” he says. “It could be more. But the first ones were photography.” After a few night school courses at Loyalist College and a short stint at the Haliburton School of the Arts, McIntosh set out painting landscapes and then began experimenting with other forms. Much of his artistic progress, he says, has been the result of trial and error. His early paintings were done in a realistic style, he explains, later giving way to more impressionistic representations. And now, he says, “it’s abstract. I’ve gone from seeing to feeling.” And McIntosh admits when he steps in front of the canvas, he’s not completely sure what will take shape. “I just get some sort of idea,” he says, “and you just follow it.” Spending only the winter months in his studio, and much of the warmer weather outdoors, McIntosh admits his painting is his own personal escape without having to go out in the cold.

But, he adds, “there’s too much to do when the weather’s nice.” So each piece, in its way, represents a different adventure. Even for the artist himself. The destination is never entirely certain. And that, he says, is all part of the fun. The canvas offers up unlimited possibilities, McIntosh says, and sometimes that means thinking outside the box. Paint may be applied in careful layers or thick dollops, then attacked with a brush or carefully blended. “It’s the emotion I want to get across,” he says. All but three paintings in the exhibit are new, he says, but the earlier works offer

some insights into his progression into abstract expressionism. Inspired by the likes of Franz Kline, Robert Motherwell and Gerhard Richter, McIntosh’s work now ranges from bold to subtle, whether using two starkly contrasting colours or a host of pastels. “Where my art will lead in the future is like a painting,” he says. “There is a goal in mind but the direction may change.” If the past is any indication, McIntosh’s work is sure to take more twists and turns in the future. His paintings are on display in the library’s main floor gallery during regular operating hours.

SPORTS

Sports - Brighton - The best kept secret at East Northumberland Secondary School is Grade 9 student Murdock Seigner and his passion for power tumbling. Only a few close friends know about his involvement in the sport, but after only two years of competition he has become a national-class athlete. According to the rules, national athletes must attain qualifying scores at two Ontario Cup competitions and an Elite Ontario event to be eligible for a Canadian championship. Seigner mined gold in all three earlier this year and will now be vying for Gymnastics Canada honours at the nationals, May 27 to 31, at Carleton University in Ottawa. A good showing there will earn a berth to the Canada Cup early this summer, which could open the door to international competition. The ultimate goal is an appearance at the World Games, the Olympics for non-Olympic sports. Tumblers perform on a specialized tumbling floor, 26 metres long and 1.5 metres wide, which springs with horizontal fibreglass rods concealed beneath a carpeted layer of foam. It acts as a launching pad for the athletes and has raised the level of the sport to new heights,

celebrate

blending artistic gymnastics floor exercises with the dynamics of a trampoline. In competition, the athletes perform a series of tumbling skills called “passes,” which consist of eight acrobatic elements judged on their degree of difficulty and execution. The program is not for everyone. Coach Jennie Leween describes a routine during an elite round of judging. A pass could include whips to springs; two double tucks, where Seigner flips upside-down backward; and a backward double twist. Don’t try this at home. For Murdock, it’s all about making the seemingly impossible, possible. “I like being able to show people new tricks,” he said. “One of my favourites is the double tuck, where you do two back flips in a row.” “He’s just a couple of steps away from becoming a worldclass athlete,” says Leween. “He’s someone to watch out for.” Seigner started out at the Quinte Bay Gymnastics Club in Belleville in a recreational program when he was just three years old. And it’s only been in the past couple of years he started to seriously compete. “He’s moved a long way

remember

up the ladder in the last little while,” says Murdoch’s dad, Scott. “His coaches are just amazed with him and how quick he picks things up.” “He’s advanced quickly,” agreed Leween. “Most kids take a year per level.” But, she adds, there are challenges. “Most national athletes have whole programs with ten of them to train with so you get that atmosphere of training with friends,” she said. “Here, Murdock is our only national athlete.” As well, the club doesn’t have the full running space to get up to the speed needed before the athlete takes to the special floor and the club doesn’t have all the equipment needed to offer a full cross-tumbling program. “He really doesn’t have those options,” said Leween. “To be able to tumble that well with all those barriers is remarkable.” Club officials are looking forward to moving into their new digs, at the former Dick Ellis Arena, later this year. The new location will give the athletes more than double the space they now have. As well as three days a week at the Belleville club, Murdock was training, during the winter

event was once again a huge success, offering encouragement and incentive to young performers as well as a platform for competitive musicians and singers. As a member of the Ontario Music Festivals Association, the Festival of Sacred Praise has accreditation to send participants on to provincial competition at the recommendation of adjudicators. But the festival is more about encouraging young people than about competition, Russett says, noting during her many years of involvement there are plenty of familiar faces returning each year. School and church groups as well as individuals and families are represented in the annual celebration that this year ran from April 22 to May 2. Classes in various categories including vocal, instrumental and scripture, are presented and adjudicated as part of the regional competition with constructive criticism and advice provided by the invited judges.

of the SAR team to the test. This provides 424 Squadron’s SAR crews, and the crews of partner agencies, invaluable interaction and exposure to how SAR operations are conducted and how they can better work together in responding to life-saving calls. Scenarios throughout the week include a simulated aircraft crash at Mont Cascades, simulated maritime distress at the Cumberland-Masson ferry, and other simulated crash scenarios in more remote locations of the Gatineau hills. “TIGEREX 2014 serves to exercise a multi-day major search with operations taking place away from the Squadron’s main operating base,” said LieutenantColonel Jean Bernier, Commanding Officer of 424 Squadron. “In

such circumstances, our partner organizations from the areas of operation usually help during the search, requiring large scale cooperation and co-ordination. This exercise provides 424 Squadron great training opportunities and exposure to such an environment.” Volunteer SAR organizations such as the Sauvetage et recherche aériens du Québec (SERABEC) and the Civil Air Search and Rescue Association (CASARA), with whom 424 Squadron regularly works, are annual participants of TIGEREX. This year’s exercise will also include participation of the Sureté du Québec, Ontario Provincial Police, and local paramedics and fire rescue crews from the Gatineau area. 424 Squadron is based in 8

World War I commemoration planned

By Diane Sherman

Lifestyles - Madoc - This year marks the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of “the ďŹ rst Great War,â€? World War I, the ďŹ rst global war known to civilization. The war involved economic powers from around the world with over nine million combatants killed. It became known as the deadliest war in history. The war was touched off by the assassination of the Archduke of Austria, Franz Ferdinand, on June 28, 1914. August 4, 1914, Britain declared war on Germany, and when the call went out for recruits, thousands of new Canadians, as part of the British Dominion, were called into a Canadian expe-

Dr. Charles Morris Godfrey was born in September of 1917. His father was wounded in that ďŹ rst war as a mem-

“The women’s institutes did a great deal of work both during and after both the wars.� Godfrey says there were 39 casualties from the Madoc region. “Their names are shown on local cenotaphs thanks to members of the Harts-Riggs Women’s Institute.� He credits the Women’s Institute with pressuring local authorities to build the cenotaphs (both in Madoc Village and Cooper) whereupon all the names are listed. “The women’s institutes did a great deal of work both during and after both the wars.� The public is invited to share their stories at the library June 21, review the posters, and enjoy light refreshments followed by the poster prize award and a presentation of Madoc at War.

Charles attempted to become an air force pilot in World War II, but, after ďŹ nding he had problems with depth of perception, had to revert to serving in a medical rehabilitation capacity as a trained physiotherapist. He continued in his medical profession to obtain a Doctorate of Medicine in 1953 and worked with veterans from both world wars at Sunnybrook Hospital. At the age of 96, Dr. Godfrey still practises medicine and is an active member of the Toronto Regiment and Military Institute of Toronto where he holds title as an Honorary Lieutenant Colonel.

Durkin tells crime story with poetry By Richard Turtle

Entertainment – Stirling – After leaving the area for several years, poet Martin Durkin has returned to Stirling with his wife Kelly, and he admits things are much quieter here. But while the couple was living in Hamilton, Durkin says, he fell in love with the city and drew much inspiration from the colourful characters in their neighbourhood. “I just soaked up the atmosphere there,� he says of the years spent in construction while Kelly completed a Master’s degree. “It’s both beautiful and tough,� Durkin says of the city known for its steel. And it is also the subject of his most recent book of poems, entitled Steel Town For Mary: Memoirs From a dick, now available on the Internet and at selected locations. “It’s a love letter to Hamilton,� he says, “but I think anyone can appreciate it.�

Stirling resident and poet Martin Durkin recently released his third book of poetry, Steel Town For Mary: Memoirs From a Dick, and will be reading excerpts at the Stirling-Rawdon Public Library on May 22 at 6:30 p.m. Photo: Richard Turtle

Intrigued by the idea of working on a collection of combining poetry with a de- poems that follow the career tective story, Durkin began of a private eye. The ďŹ nal re-

sult, he says, has so far been very well received. Durkin explains that with little real knowledge of the craft, he began writing poetry as a student at Nicholson, continuing while studying journalism at Loyalist. He was encouraged by readers, fellow writers and teachers to continue and many of those were published in his ďŹ rst book, Hypnotic Childhood, also featuring some of his photography. A second collection, The Sound of Quish, he describes as, “more mature,â€? but confesses, “I still hadn’t really learned the craft.â€? Later, while working at the Trentonian, he was introduced to the work of acclaimed local poet Al Purdy and that, Durkin says, was an eye-opener. “I realized that I had a hell of a lot to learn.â€? So he continued to write but at the same time began to seriously study the

work of others. That led to weekend readings and the publishing of several of his poems in various anthologies, but he remained haunted by a detective story that was coming from Hamilton. So he started to write it down, he says, as it might have appeared in a notebook. Durkin returned to Stirling and is now living in the home his grandparents, Jack and Mary Doran, used to own. Soon after moving in in the fall of 2012, the couple discovered a cache of his grandmother’s old drawings and sketches dating back to the 1930s. One of those found its way onto the cover of Durkin’s Steel Town, featuring a reected skyline of the city

and designed by his wife.

TRAVEL

Automobile racing in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin By John M. Smith

Lifestyles - Back in the early 1950s (between 1950 and 1952), the tiny village of Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, became world famous for its open-road race circuits. Top sports car drivers would descend on this particular village each summer and race through the winding, hilly, narrow road circuits. Hay bales, snow fences, and screaming fans lined the challenging, dangerous routes. The 1950 road circuit, held on a public highway, was 3.3 miles long, and fans could simply line the route and watch for free (although programs were sold for 50 cents). By 1951, news of the big event was spreading further afield, and more race fans were arriving. The road course expanded to 6.6 miles in length and circumnavigated Elkhart Lake. By 1952, it was estimated that well over 100,000 fans attended the weekend event, and it was becoming apparent that safety for both the fans and the drivers was becoming much more of an issue. No one had been killed here as yet, but race drivers had skidded off the road and landed in blueberries and poison ivy, and some thought that it was only a matter of time before a real tragedy might occur. A ten-year-old spectator was killed at Watkins Glen, New York, that same year, and it was decided that the era of the road race must come to an end! Fourteen historical markers are now placed around these two winding circuits, to commemorate the big names and events that occurred here

back then, and these openroad routes are now listed on the Wisconsin and National Register of Historic Places. Today, visitors can drive or bike around the old circuits and check them out, and I, of course, did that very thing when I was in Elkhart Lake recently. I was particularly interested in the names that I found on those markers, which included “Hard Left,” “Ted’s Turn,” “Peck’s Alley,” “Dickens Ditch,” “Hamill’s Hollow,” and “Wacker’s Wend.” I also tried to imagine what it would have been like back then in the tiny village, with its population of less than 1,000, hosting such crowds and what such an event would mean to the local economy! Well, apparently some of the locals were also thinking about the economical impact back then, too, and it was decided to build a permanent 4.05-mile road circuit (with 14 turns and several elevation changes) in what had been a sand and gravel pit. “Road America,” affectionately known as “America’s National Park of Speed,” was opened in 1955, and it now hosts over 400 events annually, including the NASCAR Nationwide Series, the SPEED World Challenge, the American LeMans series, Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) events, several vintage car races, a Vintage Motorcycle Classic, and the AMA Superbike series. There’s also an annual Road America Walk/Run for the American Cancer Society, the Road America Inline Challenge, and the Tour de Road America (a bicycle

FRANKLIN COACH & TOURS

There are six entrances to “Road America” and on-site camping.

I actually participated in the ATV Adventure Program, so I had the opportunity to use one of their Suzuki four-wheel, all-terrain vehicles on the groomed trails. I even took a bridge across the race track and then dealt with the trail’s steep descents and ascents and rocky terrain. It was a blast! I met Mary Lou Haen, Road America’s Marketing and Promotions Director, and I learned there’s no reserved seating here, even on race weekends. Visitors can sit where they wish—in the stands or on the grounds—and there are camping facilities on the premises, too (locations and pricing vary by event). For more information about Road America’s programs, events and pricing, visit the web site <www.roadamerica.com>. As a result of Elkhart Lake’s racing history and state-of-the-art facilities, many race car drivers and celebrities including Mario Andretti, Roger Penske, Bobby Rahal, Paul Tracy, Dario Franchitti, Carl Edwards, Patrick Dempsey, Michael Jordan, Paul Newman, and Tom Cruise have visited this destination. Perhaps you will, too.

ride on the track to raise money to fight cancer). I visited “Road America,” and I actually got right out on the track itself for some photos. I also dined in one of its VIP suites and then watched some riding school participants “doing their thing” on the asphalt circuit. I also learned about the facility’s teen driving program, motorcycle school, and high performance driving program. In the latter, participants learn advanced car control techniques through a series of drills that involve braking, cornering, and acceleration. I also discovered that there’s an opportunity, at times, to even drive one’s own car around the course, or to take “a ride of a lifetime” as a passenger in a pace car! The 640-acre site also offers “Adventure Programs,” including paintball, karting, ATV explorations, and geocaching (technological scavenger hunts), and these are proving to be very popular with corporate groups for team building exercises. I’m right on the track to get this photo (between races). (above) Race cars on the track at “Road America.

LIFESTYLES

The Good Earth:

By Dan Clost

Dan Clost

Lifestyles - Those cold rainy days of November, which showed up for a reprise this past April have finally gone not counting May 1, 2, and 3 of course. What a lousy month for antsy gardeners! Gentle Reader, welcome to a normal spring. We have been led astray these past four or five years with uncommonly benign Aprils and a return

April showers, winter reprise and varmints to normalcy has caught us off guard. This has been a super winter for both herbaceous and woody perennials … and varmints. It has been a lousy year for unprotected shrubs and young trees as well as big old shade trees. We had a nice fall, with good frosts that hardened off plants just the way they should be. We received a nice bit of snow to provide protection for the aforementioned perennials. All was well. Then the first ice storm blew through the region taking down the first offering of tree branches. However, that was not the real story. (Keep in mind that this is from a gardening perspective, folks, and in no way is meant to take away from problems because of fallen trees and power outages.) An ice sheet formed about 6”- 8” above the ground which provided the perfect barrier to protect little rodents from predators. Mice nibbled away delicately and voles chowed down voraciously on any woody material they found. The

rabbits carried on as they normally do. And the snow fell. And the snow fell. And the snow fell. Then a second ice storm swept through leaving a trail of debris in its wake. It battered previously weakened tree limbs but, more seriously, it also left another, higher layer of ice allowing the little varmints to move up in the world. Combined with the greater amounts of snow, this new layer was above most of our rodent protection, especially tree wraps and fencing. So even though you did everything right in the fall, GR, you were done in by the late winter weather. If your plant is girdled more than half way round you’re better off to accept that it is finished. However, don’t toss it on the compost heap just yet. Some early flowering plants (magnolia and crab-apples come to mind) just might have enough stored food in the upper branches to support flowering before turning into vertical firewood. You

have nothing to lose. Non-grafted, or “own root” plants should put out new shoots; think roses from the Explorer, Parkland, and Flower Carpet series. At our nursery, we faced two challenges. We had to add an extra stage of fencing, making our protection 8’ high in spots and, with drifting, it still wasn’t high enough! Flopsy and kin casually stepped over the three or four inches still poking out of the snow and dined on tender bark and stems normally well beyond their normal foraging zone. The second challenge was the ice. Our hoop houses are about 20’ apart and, when the storms are nor’easters, the snow can collect between them. That’s usually not an issue. Add in two ice storms and some sunny days between them. (Yes, there were instances when the sun shone and I know this because I reviewed the logs; but like you, I sure don’t remember them.) The eight-foot-high drifts melted into one massive ice sheet. We

were very impressed with the ability of the supporting members to accept this weight. And then a windstorm came. The combination of the weight and the wind pressure was too much and 20 sections collapsed. Back to varmints for a moment; we haven’t taken off our tree guards yet and probably won’t for another week. There are just too many rabbits cluttering up the neighbourhood and not enough foxes and owls to manage them. On a different train of thought, but still keeping with varmints (I keep hearing Yosemite Sam spouting off whenever I use that word.) squirrels have done their bit with our fall planting of bulbs. This year, because of their numbers, we stayed away from tulips and popped in a huge number of daffodils and smaller bulbs. The daffs are all coming up when and where they should be but the muscari, squills, crocus, galanthus and so on have been transplanted by those busybodies. Sigh.

Art in the Park festival largest in its four years

Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Rick Norlock announced last Friday that the federal government was providing $8,400 in funding to the Warkworth Art (and Music) in the Park festival, sponsored by the Warkworth Business Association. Ruth Wojtiuk is chair of the organizing committee and Howard Baer will be one of the musicians performing, as a member of the (Michael) Monis Baer duo. “A wide range of mediums form fine art to music to sculpture ensures there will be something for visitors of all ages,” Wojtiuk said.

News - Warkworth - This year’s edition of the Warkworth Art (and Music) in the Park “will be the largest and most exciting” in its four-year history, says the chair of the organizing committee. “We’re very excited,” Ruth Wojtiuk said, pointing to the record number of artists, 31, who will be taking part in the Warkworth Business Association event May 17 and 18. There will be “new artists who have not exhibited before as well as some returning ones,” she said, and new musicians joining “seasoned veterans.” Warkworth Town Hall Centre for the Arts will have a new art installation and there will be entertainment for children at Warkworth Memorial Hall. “We always try to keep it fresh and interesting,” Wojtiuk said. To top it off, she also predicted the weather will be good, “so people will want to come out [for the] lovely music, wonderful food, fabulous art,” with

things always going on on Main Street. “It’s just a terrific family event.” Helping to make it possible was $8,400 in funding provided by the federal government through its Building Communities Through Arts and Heritage programs. The amount is slightly more than was received last year by the association, which has been supported by federal dollars since the event began. The longer festivals last and “show a success

rate,” with the numbers getting bigger, “then the cheques are supposed to follow suit,” Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Rick Norlock told the Independent. “The Warkworth Art in the Park festival has become an outstanding showcase of local artists and artisans in the community, and I am proud to see such a tremendous festival flourish with the support of the Government of Canada,” he stated in a media release announcing the funding.

News - Trent Hills - As the 13th annual Spring Revival was drawing to a close, organizer John Graham was hoping to cap off the weekend by setting a Guinness world record. He missed it by five bottle caps. The owner of ChurchKey Brewing at Petherick’s Corners where the revival was held had hoped to break a record set in Texas of 110

bottles being opened in one minute. But the best he could do on two tries was 106, two fewer than he managed a year ago. And he nicked a finger in the effort. “You’re going as fast as you can,” sometimes the neck bottles break. “It’s one of those things I can’t practise for because there are very few opportunities to open a 100 bottles of beer,” he said in advance of the record

bid. “We have to do it at an event like this.” While Graham was no doubt disappointed at falling short of his goal— “room to improve,” he quipped—he can take comfort in knowing the festival raised $2,242 in support of the Blues in the Schools program that’s offered to schools in Trent Hills. That’s in addition to the $1,500 Peggy Voigt, president of the Loyal Blues Fellowship Inc., accepted from Matt Archer. He presented the donation in memory of his brother, Jesse Archer, a popular musician who performed at Spring Revival, before he was shot to death in 2010. This is the third year Church-Key has turned over proceeds to the Blues in the Schools. “It was Matt’s family that helped us choose this charity and we’ve been really happy with it,” Graham said. “It makes a difference. It’s such a neat musical town … We’re grooming kids from really young to be fantastic musicians and it shows up on the national stage.” Blues in the School has introduced to the area in 2005.

He spent time with junior, middle and senior classes, in Campbellford and Warkworth, teaching them basic blues progression and blues history, Voigt said, “and then writing words to their own blues songs” and performing them in front of the rest of the school in an assembly. “Having events like this support us is fantastic,” she said.

News - Trent Hills - Residents in low-lying areas are being told it’s “imperative” they keep sandbags in place around their homes as water levels slowly decrease. The municipality issued a press release May 2 saying water levels in many areas are still above those recorded in 2008, the last time there was major flooding. A state of emergency that was declared April 24 also remains in effect. Trent Hills will not be picking up any of the sandbags that were delivered to flooded sites and residents. Recipients were encouraged to store the sandbags for future use after water levels have returned to normal, and to protect them from direct sunlight. To help homeowners prepare for “the eventual flood recovery,” the municipality prepared an information package on such things as removing mould, disinfecting wells, and returning to service septic systems that had been flooded. About 1,500 letters were sent out to residents in flooded areas letting them know the packages are available at the municipal office or online. Residents in low-lying areas were “strongly advised” to not use well water for any purpose and to keep children and pets away from all floodwaters and “potentially contaminated standing water.” A OPP marine unit patrolling the waters was enforcing a “no wake” rule put into effect on waterways near

New ways of worship a “breath of fresh air” By John Campbell

News - Brighton - Area members of the United Church looking for new ways to express their faith were shown how at the Breath of Fresh Air Fair held last Saturday at Trinity-St. Andrew’s. “Oftentimes in our churches things get a little stale, they get a little routine and we do the same things over and over,” and the results aren’t always what’s expected, said the Reverend Cathy Grandante. “So it’s nice to have an opportunity where you can actually experience something different and maybe you can take that home to your own congregation,” feeling “energized and enthusiastic about your church.” The event was the first of its kind to take place in the Hills and Shores Presbytery (part of the Bay of Quinte Conference of the United Church of Canada). The area encompasses churches in Brighton, Cobourg, Belleville, Quinte West and Trent Hills. “Part of our mandate is to have a learning and education faith formation opportunity for members of the presbytery,” said Grandante, minister for Seymour Pastoral Charge in Trent Hills. The fair included taize and cafe worship, “messy church,” Biblical story tell-

ing, non-traditional music and liturgical dancing. It’s about “rejuvenation,” said the Reverend Janet Stobie, who led the group in taize worship, which involves sung and chanted prayers, along with a period of silence, to achieve spiritual growth. The author of several books, she also conducted a story-telling session, accompanied by a harpist, matching a modern-day story with passages from the Bible. They were “meant to be spoken, not read out of a book, [which is] kind of dull and boring,” Grandante said. This way of telling the story “enlivens it and gives it a little more meaning for people.” The Breath of Fresh Air Fair, which ran four-and-ahalf hours, started off at 10 a.m. with cafe worship, with all those in attendance sitting together at tables, enjoying a cup of tea or coffee, talking about their faith. “It’s not something we do very often, and it’s kind of scary I know,” Gradante said, but it’s a way “to build community with one another.” Messy church “came out of the Anglican tradition,” in which different generations gather together to sing, work at a craft and share a meal, she said. Scobie said the United Church introduced messy

church in recent years because “young families often don’t make time to come to church on Sunday mornings … for whatever reason.” It often takes place on another day of the week during the supper hour. “There isn’t this sitting in pews,” she said. “It’s very, very relaxed.” The non-traditional music included

“lively pieces” by jazz musicians that fit “quite well” with the day’s non-conventional forms of worship. Stobie, who’s retired and lives in Peterborough, said older members of the church get “used to things being the way they are” but “anything you do the same for a long period of time becomes routine [and] loses its energy.

Columnist/author the Reverend Janet Stobie led a group of churchgoers in taize worship as well as told stories from scripture and modern life. Photo: John Campbell

“That’s why there’s a need God’s spirit to come in [to to have this breath of fresh generate] new ideas and new air,” she said. “It’s asking for experiences for people.”

Will Howson, of Howson’s Pure Maple Syrup and Honey, near Hastings was there to show her their product. “This is our third year at the market and we like to come here,� he told the Trent Hills Independent. “We’re here every week.� The Howsons sell not only pure maple syrup and honey but bee pollen too. “Some people like to put it on their porridge or in their salad,� he said. “We recommend to anyone who buys the bee pollen that they try a small amount first just in case of any allergies. You have no idea where the bees got the pollen,� he explained. Between eight and 13 vendors set up booths on the municipal parking lot and closed-off section of River Street. Their wares include fresh fruit and vegetables, herbs, perennials, annuals, beef, eggs, honey, maple syrup, baked goods and crafts. Bill Shea of Campbellford was buying some lavender from the Vaughans on opening day For Shea shopping at the market is an experience he enjoys on a regular basis. “I like the fact it is local, I like the fact this lady’s produce is organic and you can pretty much find whatever you want here ... and if you don’t then ask,� he said with a grin. For the Vaughans and others who sell their produce and goods at the market it’s all a matter of going with the flow, which means dealing with whatever Mother Nature hands out.

There’s no sunshine, no warmth in the ground yet. It’s still very cold. We’re hoping things will come along soon but I think it will all be a little slower than usual this spring,� said Amanda. “Even in the greenhouses we are finding things are just growing slower,� she added. Vaughan noted she has seen a lot of damage around trees and bushes that have died as a result of the harsh severe winter. “I think a lot of things are just waiting for the sunshine . . .

Traffic arrives for annual auto flea market By Richard Turtle

News - Stirling - Traffic in the village was predictably heavy last weekend as the Stirling Agricultural Society hosted its Annual Automotive and Antique Flea Market at the fairgrounds. Organizers and volunteers say that despite the cool and drizzly weekend weather, crowds were heavy through much of the day on Saturday, where available parking spaces were quickly filled, with strong attendance on Sunday as well. Agricultural Society President Jason Detlor, who was onsite throughout, estimated final attendance would be well over 6,000 but noted exact numbers were not immediately availJason Pellatt and daughter Reese arrived from Newburg and found an aged shovel that is destined able. “It’s been really good,” he said to become a planter back home. Crowds were particularly heavy on the auto flea market’s opening Sunday afternoon. “The vendors are happy, everybody’s happy.” day.

Sunday saw even cooler temperatures and a significant drop in numbers but visitors continued to arrive throughout the morning. And while the weather may have made for shorter days for many visitors, and resulted in some vendors packing up early, comments from visitors and exhibitors alike were extremely favourable. Please see “Predictably” on page B15 Threats of rain failed to keep the crowds from Stirling’s Annual Automotive and Antique Flea Market,

“I never miss it,â€? says local resident Dave Preston, “even if it’s raining.â€? His sentiments were echoed by many others. Hundreds of vendors from across eastern Ontario set up indoors and outdoors with displays of automotive memorabilia, car parts, toys, tools, antiques, posters, clothing and cars of all ages and descriptions. Local service clubs and community groups were also well represented at the Flea Market, participating in various capacities over the course of the weekend. Royal Canadian Legion members from Branch 228 directed trafďŹ c in the parking lot, Masonic Lodge volunteers provided pancake breakfasts, local Lions, 4-H and agricultural society representatives were among the food vendors and ofďŹ cials from organizations including the Quinte Antique Tractor Club and Marmora Crowe Valley Lions took the opportunity to promote their own community activities. And not far away, the Stirling Rotary Club hosted its 14th annual Giant Yard Sale at Goodkey Service Centre, where many stopped to browse before or after visiting the Flea Market. Outdoor vendors were set up throughout the fairgrounds offering up everything from hubcaps to power tools while dozens of others, with booths and table displays featuring clothing, toys, souvenirs and a variety of services and products lined the walls in the arena and at the Amanda Carew brought plenty of colour to the auto flea market last weekend, showing off her line of clothing while keeping curling club. her fingers warm. The opening day Saturday was topped off with a performance by local band Wrought Iron Roots who played for a highly appreciative audience late in the day, remaining onstage signiďŹ cantly longer than expected. For many, including attendee Julie Brasier, it was one of the weekend highlights. Organizers say the show annually attracts about 5,000 on its opening day and, Detlor says, plans are to continue to make it bigger and better.

would be in blossom,� she said. She said the cast has been rehearsing for two months and the set is all ready to go. It would have been horrible to shut it down now. Roy added that the plays at My Theatre in the renovated space at 55 King Street have been really popular with all 77 seats full for nine shows. Now that the spring and summer seasons are here, even more people will want to take in the entertainment. My Theatre was originally named the Bay of Quinte Community Players and has been subsidized partly by Trenval. The Trent Port Historical Society (TPHS) uses the first floor for its museum displays and small cafe. It was responsible for restoring the building when it took over from the city in 1994. Shawn Ellis, president of the TPHS, said he is the one who called the fire inspector and the building inspector. “I just wanted to make sure everything was being

done right,â€? he said. “I did not think they would shut us down.â€? He said there have only been a few things identified as not up to Code, like replacing wooden doors with fire doors and installing a fire curtain on stage. “There are no structural problems,â€? he said. “Just a lot of little things.â€? The Trenton DBIA just vacated its office in the downstairs last week, ahead of the announcement. It is now at the Rock 107 office downtown. Ellis said that space will be needed for the new elevator to be installed. Bev Roy said the board cancelled some ads and notiďŹ ed people on their website when they thought they would be shut down. They now want people to know that Steel Magnolias is on again, same time, same place. More information is at <mytheatrequinte.ca> and tickets can be purchased through the Chamber of Commerce.

Team captains rally at Bark for Life walk-a-thon

Leona McGee is in charge of the “Fight Back Zone”. Having won her first battle by advocating for the ban of tanning beds for youth under the age of 18, she is on to her next fight, called “Cancer Virginia Hendricks, who lost her husband to cancer in 2008, bravely spoke shouldn’t come in a Candy Wrapper - end the to walkers gathered last Sunday for the Bark for Life walk-a-thon. She and her late husband’s dog Henry joined in the event. Photo: Sue Dickens It was a bit of a struggle for a few minutes to get man’s best friend to pose alongside their owners at the Bark for Life Walk-a- flavour,” as she hopes to stop the sale of candy thon but these folks know all about struggles as they devoted their time to raise money to fight cancer at the first ever walk-a- flavoured cigarettes filled with tobacco to young people.

News – Campbellford – The tale of how a puppy named Henry brought home the real reason why fund-raising events such as the Bark for Life walk-a-thon and the Trent Hills Relay for Life are so important. Virginia Hendricks, who lost her husband to cancer in 2008, spoke to walkers gathered last Sunday about just how much Henry means to her and the role he played during her husband’s battle to fight cancer. “My husband was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer in December 2008. On January 2, 2009 on our 55th wedding anniversary, we were told that Ross had six weeks to live without treatment or six months with aggressive treatment, chemo and radiation. He chose treatment,” she bravely told

walkers gathered for the walk-athon. Hendricks told her story of their search for a puppy at a kennel when “Henry came out from another room looked at Ross and curled up on his feet.” “Whether Ross was in bed or in his favourite chair Henry would cuddle up with him and stay with him. Eventually Ross had to go into palliative care and when I would go to the hospital every day I would tell Henry he had to watch the house. Henry would look at me then go curl up in Ross’s chair and wait for me to come home,” she explained. “Ross lived 12 months and Henry is still with me. Ross’s chair is still Henry’s favourite place to snuggle in,” she added. Her story touched the hearts of all the walkers who were there to

raise money for cancer research. “We are all here today because cancer affects your lives one way or another,” said Emily Vassiliadis, Relay for Life fund-raising coordinator at the Peterborough office of the Canadian Cancer Society. While the walkers headed onto the track at the Campbellford fairgrounds, dozens of people gathered inside the Red Barn where they registered their teams and picked up kits for this year’s Trent Hills Relay for Life, which will take place September 5 from 7 p.m. to 12:01 a.m. The special rally held in conjunction with the Bark for Life walk-athon, gave team captains the opportunity to gather the information they need to make this year’s event another success. “Today is the captain’s rally. We encouraged new and old to come

and find out what’s new,” commented Brooke Allan, who was busy taking names and making sure everyone received their kits and made their way to display tables. One of those displays, home to the “Fight Back Zone” was being looked after by Leona McGee, who spent more than three years asking people to sign the ban so no youth 18 and under could use tanning beds. “On October 9, 2013 Bill 74 (The Skin Cancer Prevention Act) was passed. We were successful,” she said with a big grin. McGee is already working on her next campaign, “Cancer shouldn’t come in a candy wrapper – end the flavour,” as she fights to stop the sale of candy flavoured cigarettes filled with tobacco. “Research showed in 2012, 52 per cent of children in grades 6 to 12 have already tried these products,” said McGee, armed with statistics. She will be taking her message to this

tal rights and freedoms we enjoy as citizens. Come and join us as we celebrate these fundamental rights and freedoms. We plan to pay tribute to those who have paid, some even with their own lives, to purchase and safeguard the freedoms we can so easily take for granted. We will also explore the need to be ever mindful that without constant vigilance our rights and freedoms, including freedom of religion, could be undermined or removed. Our two main presenters will be Barry W. Bussey, VP Legal Affairs, Canadian Council of Christian Charities. Barry has also represented the International Religious Liberty Association at the United Nations in New York and Geneva. Also speaking is Lincoln E. Steed,

editor of Liberty magazine. Seminar times and topics are as follows: 11 a.m. - 12 p.m. - Celebrating Religious Freedom in Canada, Lincoln E Steed and Barry W. Bussey. 12:30 p.m. -2 p.m. - a complimentary delicious vegetarian lunch will be served. 2 p.m. -3:20 p.m. - The State of Religious Freedom in Canada: “Emerging Trends” Barry W.

Derby looking for the Usain Bolt of goats

News – Campbellford – Bet you didn’t know there’s more to goats than milk and cheese. They’re also topnotch athletes, says Debbie Nightingale, a Nigerian dwarf goat breeder in Trent Hills. You can judge for yourself when the Trent Hills Goat Derby makes its debut at the inaugural Incredible Edibles Festival July 12 (10 a.m to 4 p.m.) The derby will be run in downtown Campbellford and there are no limitations on ages of owners or goats. Nightingale, a member of the

festival committee, says she got the idea for the event from an article she read about the Falmouth Goat Races in Pennsylvania where they’ve been a huge draw for 34 years. The president of the Falmouth races has been invited to judge at the Trent Hills Goat Derby. “We’re really excited, Nightingale says of the derby, adding: “We are expecting big crowds for the Incredible Edibles Festival. So the Goat Derby will be a terrific opportunity for a lot of people to see that goats aren’t just
