News Youth clean up town during Trash Bash Serving Stirling, Marmora, Madoc, Tweed & Area

May 1, 2014

www.InsideBelleville.com

By Stephen Petrick

News - Madoc - Town was a little cleaner Saturday afternoon than it was Saturday morning.

About a dozen youth participated in the Madoc Trash Bash on April 26.

The group consisted mostly of members of the Royal Canadian Army Cadets 385 based in Madoc, along with a couple of community volunteers.

The group met at the Kiwanis Centre on St. Lawrence Street at 9 a.m. and then removed litter from areas in and around Centre Hastings Secondary School before moving to the west end of town.

The Trash Bash has been hosted by the Kiwanis Club of Madoc for about ďŹ ve years, President Jim Denison said.

It ďŹ ts with the club’s mandate to serve the community. And the Madoc cadets have been the event’s most loyal participants, as it helps them meet the requirements of their good citizenship program. “It certainly shows that there’s some major dedication,â€? Denison said, shortly after the cadets, decked in orange vests, hit the streets with garbage bags and gloves in hand.

The bags were donated by Maunco.

Gloves were supplied by Home Hardware. Tim Hortons supplied coffee and drinks and Foodland donated hot dogs for the post-work barbecue.

Denison said the event typically results in a truckload of garbage, which Members of the Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps 385 pose for a photo with Kiwanis club members and community volunteers, during the Madoc Trash Bash. Photo: the municipality of Centre Hastings Stephen Petrick removes for them.

This year was no different; by noon the cadets had packed a truck to the brim.

Despite the long winter that has just passed, the town of Madoc was in good shape heading into the weekend, Denison said.

Premier views flooding, meets with local mayors

By Brett Mann

News - Tweed - Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne toured flood damaged residences in the Foxboro area on April 22 and met with local emergency response officials and provincial and municipal politicians including Tweed Mayor Jo-Anne Albert.

The premier did not visit the Tweed area but Yasir Naqvi, the new Minister of Community Safety and Corrections had done a quick but fairly extensive survey of flooding in Tweed the previous week.

Following a closed de-briefing session with fire, police, emergency response officials and local mayors and reeves at the Masterson Community Centre, Premier Wynne delivered a brief statement to national and local media and responded to questions. Wynne began her remarks by praising the efforts of volunteers noting that “16 to 18 hundred” people had volunteered and saying she was “grateful for the generosity of spirit that everyone has shown.”

Speaking of possible financial help from the province, Premier Wynne responded in general but encouraging terms, saying, “This really is a matter of communities working together and the province and our officials, working hand-in-hand with mu-

nicipalities. There’s no other way for a situation like this to be resolved so we make that commitment.”

The Premier singled out the issue of infrastructure, saying, “There’s another phase to this that I think is equally important and that is making sure that we make the infrastructure investment over the immediate, medium and longer term so that we can deal with these kind of problems in the future.”

She talks all the time about infrastructure Premier Wynne said and mentioned $29 billion her government would like to spend on infrastructure, $14 billion of which is targeted “outside the GTA.” “I see this very much as a multi-phased approach and we want everyone in the community to know that we are aware of the immediate and the medium and the longer term issues,” she concluded.

The relevant provincial program for disaster aid is the Ontario Disaster Relief Assistance Program (ODRAP), the premier noted, and municipalities have a 14-day window of time to apply to the program with estimates of damage and loss, adding she was well aware that some people need immediate assistance. She also reported that she had spo-

ken with Mayor Albert and other mayors earlier in the week to let them know she was aware of the flooding situation.

While Mayor Albert was pleased that Premier Wynne recognized many residents’ need for immediate assistance, she expressed disappointment that this assistance did not appear to be immediately forthcoming from the province.

“We asked about the rules for ODRAP. It becomes a fund-raising issue. Matching funds cannot come from the municipal budget but must be

raised by a separate ‘arms-length’ fund-raising committee. The ODRAP formula could provide two-for-one support for funds we raise. We will be deciding on an ODRAP resolution at next week’s council meeting.”

The municipality will hold a public information meeting to clarify the situation probably in early May, Albert said. To provide some measure of financial relief to those affected by flooding, the municipality will waive dumping fees for those who have been identified as flood-affected.

Dog Club plans for fall News - Marmora - Richard Lowery, a member of the Marmora Cub Dog Club notes that at a recent spirited meeting, the members “planned for an upcoming community event called Frisky Frolic Fall Fun Day, to be held November 17, at 1 p.m., at the Marmora ball park diamond.”

Even though it is several months away plans are in place for a number of events, among them: an agility event - one dog at a time, for fun; a Frisbee catch; Best Dressed Dog, and Best Dressed Master. As well there

will be events for kids 12 an under whose canines will be judged, in separate classes, for the longest and shortest tail, ears and nose.

Dancing With Your Dog, involves dressing up and moving to the music with Lowery suggesting, “Bring your own music, or plan to sing!”

He adds, “We will be holding one further planning meeting on November 5 at 7 p.m. in the William Shannon Room in the library, and anyone interested in attending would be welcome.”

Premier Kathleen Wynne answers questions at a press conference following a tour of flood-damaged homes in the Foxboro area. She is accompanied by (l) Belleville Mayor Neil Ellis, Centre Hastings Mayor Owen Ketcheson and Tweed Mayor Jo-Anne Albert.

Copies of the letter went to Premier Kathleen Wynne, several cabinet ministers and area MPPs and all party leaders.

The massive project is expected to employ up to 1,000 construction jobs for several years to create a network of submerged pumps that will force water up to a storage area during off-peak hours then generate hydro electricity by gravity during peak hours. The system has been widely used for many years in other parts of North America and Europe.

In other business, council passed bylaws to establish tax rates for its member municipalities for 2014, and one to confirm an agreement with Belleville and the Hastings County Historical Society for a new shared archives facility in the Belleville Library.

“do not in any way represent the views of the vast majority of people from the community, the county and Eastern Ontario. In fact,” the letter continues, “the most common questions from our constituents are: ‘When is this project going to finally get started?’ and ‘Why is something that makes good sense and is supported by all three political parties taking so long to go ahead?’”

Reeve Clemens further noted that the project has now been included in the new Long Term Energy Plan. The letter also notes that the Tourism Study, for which the Ontario government designated substantial funding, will be completed “within the next couple of months and we are confident that it will confirm that the facility will provide a significant economic boost for Eastern Ontario.

Three Oaks Foundation’s need touches all

News - Marmora - The final meeting of the season for the women of the local churches involved in the ecumenical group, took place at Saint Paul’s Anglican Church on April 28. Changes to the plans resulted from the fact that the intended speaker for the morning session, Julia Gossen of Three Oaks Foundation, was unable to attend at the last minute.

All was not lost, as the group went on to enjoy an uplifting and extended hymn sing, accompanied by Barb Pitman on the organ, and participated in a creative game, led by the group’s Chair, Sharon Williamson, which involved the listing of the many blessings in the lives of each participant.

Pauline Wilkins, a member of the host church, who had heard Gossen speak on another occasion, presented an overview of the work done by Three Oaks involving women and children in dis-

tressed circumstances. The Foundation, which serves a large area, currently has facilities to house ten women with children, who as Wilkins said, come to their door because of abuse of all kinds. Six weeks of accommodation and counselling are provided, after which they are required to move on owing to the ongoing demand involving others in similar situations.

The Foundation is currently in the process of building a complex which will be able to house a larger number of women and children, who will have spent the initial six-week period at the original location, but are in need of further accommodation. Funds, amounting to more than $1 million, have been raised to complete the structure itself, but the apartments themselves have yet to be furnished.

Wilkins spoke of the clients who come in off the streets, often with liter-

Observing nature at Nayler’s Common

News - Marmora - The grand opening of the Nayler’s Common Observation Platform, scheduled for June 7 at 10 a.m, is mere weeks away and plans are going forward for a celebration to mark the event. A $2,000 grant from TD Friends of the Environment Foundation contributed to the construction of the platform which was completed in 2013.

Students from the three local schools both enjoy and participate in the Common’s wetland and trails and have become involved in a variety of ways. As outlined in their curriculum, they participate in year-round education programs at the Commons, and have been busy identifying, naming, and creating markers for the three trails.

Colourful, hand-painted wooden plaques will identify the turtle, frog and butterfly trails, work on them having been accomplished by students at Sacred Heart, Marmora Senior and Earl Prentice Schools respectively. April 24 saw a group of 12 Sacred Heart students from Grades 4 through 8, applying paint to the plaques which bore the outlines of turtles, hand drawn by teacher Della Coffin.

As well, the students have participated in a poster contest, depicting their vision of the site.

The grand opening itself will include singing provided by the students, along

Council agreed to keep the party going, approving a recommendation by the Protection to Persons and Property Committee to proceed with plans and a budget of $7,500 with the intention of seeking alternative sponsors and donations to assist in offsetting costs.

Councillors also agreed to post details of the Great Place Awards on the municipal web site prior to the close of nominations at the request of the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board. The awards are handed out annually to students, employees, community partners and volunteers who have made a positive difference.

Nominations closed last Friday.

In approving minutes of the Finance and Personnel Committee, Councillor Jeremy Solmes noted a tender to repair the Stirling Festival Theatre Roof was awarded to Quinte Roofing, with the low bid of $32,200 while Johnson Environmental Geosciences was awarded the contract to monitor the municipal waste disposal sites at a cost of just over $30,000.

Deputy-mayor Wilfred Shier noted that since the previous council meeting, when local officials voted to lobby against the proposed closing of Kemptville College, a funding announcement has been made allowing the agricultural school to continue operating while the matter is reconsidered.

As for the long-term plan, to get three municipalities involved in the administration, that’s something she couldn’t comment on. Medical Centre staff are staying out of that issue and hope local politicians will resolve it. “We’re just tenants in the building,� she said.

Members of the Grade 2 and 3 classes headed to the Marmora Fairgrounds, while those in the Grade 1 class cleaned the east parking lot as well as the sidewalk on William Street.

Now that Centre Hastings is assuming some administrative duties, officials hope talks will start on a long-term agreement. Centre Hastings Deputymayor Tom Simpson said he knows of no meetings planned in the near future, but he hopes they’ll start soon. “Everything’s going forward. We just need a new administrator,� he said.

Both Simpson and Reid wanted to

quash fears that the centre’s future is in jeopardy. While the absence of a longterm agreement doesn’t look good, they both stressed that it’s not adversely affecting current operations. “There are no disruptions,� Simpson said, proudly boasting that the centre has a dental, hearing and chiropractor clinic, along with a family health team.

Plans are in the works to add x-ray services, too. “It’s business as usual.�

Reid said many patients have heard news about the lack of agreement and assume the worst. “People come in and say, ‘Is the clinic closing?’� she said. “I think everything is going to stay.�

Queensborough welcomes MACKfest canoeists and kayakers

News - Queensborough - MACKfest, the Marmora and Area Canoe and Kayak Festival, visited Queensborough this year, as it has for many years, with exhausted and exhilarated canoeists and kayakers enjoying the hospitality of Treats in the Black River. Hamburgers and drinks were on offer at the Thompson House and Mill, now owned by Elaine and her husband Ludwig Kapusta. Treats in the Black River raises funds for the Queensborough community centre which organizes the annual event. “We’ve been doing it for years. Well over 30 years they’ve been coming to the Black, but whitewater kayaking is really becoming more popular,â€? said Ms. Kapusta. “There was a guy here yesterday with a group from Ottawa who has been coming for 30 years. They come here in the morning and park their cars and then they load them all up in a couple of cars and take the kayaks and canoes and head up the Black River.â€? The put-in point is “just before the atsâ€? on Lingham Lake road east of Cooper.

The Kapustas own and operate the dam in Queensborough, lowering or raising logs to manage water ow. “When the water is high going over the dam, several go over and even today several went over the falls at the small channel,â€? Ms. Kapusta re-

ports. This has been an “abnormal yearâ€? said Mr. Kapusta. “Most years we have a more gradual melt that starts earlier and we get four to ďŹ ve weekends of high water. Kayakers come by looking at the gauges on the web site. They see what the waterow is and that tells them whether they should come up.â€?

This year the water was “extremely high and now it’s dry,â€? Mr. Kapusta observed. With a lot of rain “we might get one more weekend ‌ the melt came very quickly and we have no real idea what will happen. In our lifetime we’ve never seen the water that high.â€?

In an average year about 30 to 40 paddlers come through Queensborough each day of the season, sometimes as many as 60. A total of about 300 come through in a normal year. “Kayakers come from all over Ontario and Quebec,� said Ms. Kapusta. She reports that as a group, paddlers are very environmentally conscious and “very tidy. There’s never a scrap of paper left behind.� Queensborough is ranked as the “best out-take place in Ontario, because of the reception they get here.�

A group of tired kayakers relaxing around the mill pond at the Thompson House, some from as far away as Midland, reported that the Black River was “high and fast� this year.

OPINION

Donetsk is not Sarajevo

Gwynne Dyer

Editorial - With due apologies to God, Voltaire and the Ukrainians, I must point out that if Ukraine did not exist, it would not be necessary to invent it. It is not a great power, it has no resources the world cannot do without, and it is not a “vital strategic interest” to anybody except the Ukrainians themselves.

Not even to the Russians, although they are acting at the moment as though it were.

Bosnia was nobody’s vital strategic interest either. It isn’t now, and it wasn’t a hundred years ago. But Bismarck warned in 1898 that if there was ever another major war in Europe, it would come out of “some damned silly thing in the Balkans,” and an assassination in Sarajevo in 1914 fulfilled his prophecy to the letter.

Some things have changed since then, however. The next world war will not come out of Ukraine (which is only slightly north-east of the Balkans) no matter what happens in the next few weeks and months. Russia might invade Ukraine, there might even be a new Cold War for a while, but there will be no fighting in Europe beyond Ukraine’s borders.

Indeed, apart from the Balkans there has been no full-scale war in Europe for the past 69 years, and there was never the slightest risk that the fighting in the 1990s would spread beyond the borders of former Yugoslavia. Indeed, there was probably never a single day during the 45 years of the Cold War when either side seriously considered attacking the other.

The reason was simple: they knew what would happen next, even if neither side used the thousands of nuclear weapons at its disposal. Twice in thirty years, in 1914-18 and 1939-45, a major war using modern weapons had been fought over almost all of Europe’s territory.

On the first occasion, they lost a generation of young men.

The second time, most countries from Germany eastwards lost around ten percent of their populations and most of the casualties that time were civilians. Half of the continent’s

great historic cities were reduced to ruins even without the help of nuclear weapons. It was a very expensive education, but the Europeans did finally learn their lesson: don’t do this any more.

That is why, even as Russian tanks drive right up to Ukraine’s eastern borders and the Ukrainian army prepares to die in a fight it knows it would lose, nobody else in Europe is getting ready for war. If the Russians want part or all of Ukraine, they can have it and pay the long-term price for taking it, which would be very high. But nothing in Europe is worth blowing all of Europe up for.

Do not be alarmed by the fact that troops and planes from as far away as the United States and Canada are currently being sent to NATO countries that have borders with Russia. The numbers are militarily insignificant. Their purpose is simply to remind the Russians that the alliance will protect its own members should Moscow ever decide that it has also a right to “protect” Russian-speakers in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.

Moscow does not actually need to be reminded of that.

It has seized Crimea, and is toying with the idea of seizing more of Ukraine, precisely because that country does not fall under the NATO umbrella. And it does not belong to NATO because NATO didn’t want to take military responsibility for its defence.

The collapse of the status quo is partly the European Union’s fault, for demanding that Ukraine choose between closer trade and travel ties with the EU and full membership in Russia’s proposed “Eurasian Union”. It is even more the fault of Moscow: President Vladimir Putin has been both emotional and opportunistic. He’s scaring people, which is never a good idea.

But if he does take more or even all of Ukraine, the West will not fight him. It will just take in all the Ukrainian refugees, strengthen its eastern defences, and begin the slow process of bringing down Putin by crippling the Russian economy. That would take years, but nobody would forget about Ukraine. It is a UN member, and even China has stopped supporting the Russian position. Remember East Timor.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Hands off my right to vote Mr. Harper

Dear Editor Nothing is more fundamental to democracy than the right to vote. It is cherished in democracies and envied in dictatorships. Today’s newspapers are filled with stories about pro-democracy protests in Ukraine, Egypt, Venezuela and Afghanistan. Similarly, the history books are brimming with stories of disenfranchised people being imprisoned, persecuted, and killed because of their desire to cast a ballot.

Throughout history, dictators feared nothing more than the right to vote. It was for this reason, Abraham Lincoln famously remarked, “the ballot is stronger than the bullet.”

Internationally, Canada has been a tireless champion of the right to vote. Thousands of Canadians died on the cliffs of Dieppe; in the deserts of Kandahar; on the beaches of Normandy; and in the valleys of Kapyong in defense of it. They died so millions could vote and be freed from fascism, communism and totalitarianism.

Domestically, the right to vote expanded throughout the 20th century. Suffrage was extended to women in 1921; to Asian Canadians in 1947 and 1948; to First Nations/Aboriginal Canadians in 1960; to the mentally ill in 1988; and to the incarcerated in 2002.The right to vote is so fundamental; governments of all political strips have sought to insulate it from political interference. Prime Minister Mackenzie introduced the secret ballot in 1874. Prime Minister Borden created Elec-

tions Canada in 1920. Prime Minister Trudeau enshrined the right to vote in the Charter (1982). Prime Minister Chretien passed campaign finance reform in 2000.

Stephen Harper’s contribution to history?

Unlike his predecessors, Prime Minister Harper is trying to turn the clocks back. His government is trying to pass legislation (Bill C-23), which could prevent 520,000 Canadians from voting in the next election. First Nations/Aboriginal Canadians, university students, senior citizens and low-income individuals will all be affected.

Bill C-23 will eliminate the process of “vouching”, eliminate voter identification cards, and eliminate the Chief Electoral Officer’s ability to promote voting. The government is trying to rush this anti-democratic bill through Parliament as fast as possible. They have ignored petitions, refused to consult voters, rejected expert testimony, and limited debate.

Stephen Harper will go down in the history books as the prime minister who tried to roll back the right to vote. I hope our generation (like Nellie McClung, Rosa Parks, and Nelson Mandela) will go down as the generation that stopped him.

Prime Minister Harper: keep your hands off my right to vote.

It’s almost impossible to get away from it all

By Terry Bush Editorial - The older I get, the more I start to sound like that old guy who lived a couple of doors down when we were kids. That would be the guy who used to yell at us when we walked on the side of the road past his house because he’d planted grass on the shoulder right up to the pavement.

He was the guy who used to wash his driveway every other day on the days he didn’t wash his car. He was the guy who never smiled at the neighbourhood kids when we said hello.

He was also the guy who constantly filled up his birdbath because the water mysteriously turned yellow.

And he was the guy who often heard explosions in his basement stairwell on Hallowe’en. I don’t want to be that grumpy guy. But I’m afraid I’m heading that way.

When I hear the name John Baird, I grimace wondering what he’s done now. He’s been doing a bit of travelling lately holding “a warm and productive meeting” in Cairo with Egypt’s Minister of Foreign Affairs.

At least that’s what the Canadian Foreign Affairs website says. Why he’s providing legitimacy to the current government of Egypt is anybody’s guess considering it overthrew the elected government in a bloody coup.

According to a quote from Baird in the Toronto Star, Canada wants to “effectively assist Egypt at this critical juncture.”

I’m not quite sure what Canada wants to assist Egypt with. It can’t be democracy. Maybe it’s the upcoming election, which is already a foregone conclusion. The coup leader el-Sisi will definitely be the next president.

Maybe it’s the release of prisoners held without charge including Canadian citizens. Then again it could be something entirely different.

Earlier this week another 683 protesters of the coup were sentenced to death including the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood. Last month 529 protesters were sentenced to death.

Another 920 protesters are about to be tried in another mass trial. It certainly doesn’t pay to protest the overthrow of a government in Egypt. As a Canadian, I don’t think we should even be talking to a country like this let alone assisting them in any way. If you want to sanction a country, this would be the one.

But John Baird isn’t the only one in government to get my goat lately.

When I read today that Parks Canada is planning to install Wi-Fi Internet hotspots in up to 50 park locations this year, I could only manage a “What the hell?” Mind you, I’d just driven home from work and saw five people talking away on their cell phones while driving so maybe that set me off.

To my way of thinking, heading off to the wilderness is the best way

to get away from the many devices that clutter everyone’s lives today.

Recently we went to an anniversary celebration and when the lights were dimmed for dancing, it got quite spooky in the hall. As my wife and I looked around the room, we saw an eerie glow emanating from the faces of almost every person under 25. They were having conversations with each other we’re sure, but for some unknown reason, talking to one another seemed to take a backseat to texting one another. I’ve seen it before in the middle of a seminar at our head office. While the rest of us were listening to the speaker, two people from the same newspaper office were busy texting and laughing at the texts they were sending one another. Once upon a time that may have been considered rude.

So now, Parks Canada wants to bring Internet access to 150 locations over the next three years. This all sounds quite dangerous to me. People have enough trouble trying to avoid walking into stop signs on city streets while texting without giving them the ability to watch television while paddling or hiking in some remote area.

Heaven forbid you have to respond to an email. “Sorry, I’ll get back to you in a minute or two. There seems to be a grizzly bear in front of me and a cub behind me. I’ll email you back in a jiffy.”

Some will say it makes going to the wilderness safer. To that I say, if you want to be safe, stay home. The unpredictability of rough camping is what makes heading to the backcountry exciting. Luckily, I’m not alone in my displeasure. A quick perusal of the comments section for this Toronto Star story yielded these gems.

“I am embarrassed to be a human today. This is an unconsciously stupid idea. Spend money on improving campsites and protecting wildlife not attracting morons to parks who can’t go a weekend without the Internet.”

“Please don’t! The whole reason I spend time interior camping is to get away from all this crap! If you suffer from potentially life threatening medical conditions and insist on camping.

Get the SPOT! Leave the wilderness free of electronic pollution!”

“What a waste, doesn’t Parks Canada have better things to worry about? Like protecting nature?”

“Does a bear tweet in the woods? As long as the towers blend into the landscape, this is a great idea.

It is one thing to live the wilderness experience (everyone should try it) but it is quite another to die due to lack of experience or ability to call for help.”

“As long as the towers blend into the landscape?” To this guy I say, “Get off my lawn, you rotten kid.”

Lange & Fetter Ford grand re-opening a celebration three generations in the making

Staff, friends and family of Lange & Fetter Motors, including Quinte West Mayor John Williams (with the scissors), cut a ribbon to mark the opening of the dealership’s new headquarters.

8 Central Hastings News - Thursday, May 1, 2014

Members of the Lange & Fetter Motors Ford dealership cut a blue ribbon to celebrate the opening of their new location on Wednesday, April 23 in front of a packed house of friends, family members and local dignitaries.

It was a celebration of cars, customers, and the dealership’s deep-rooted commitment to the Trenton community. Lange & Fetter first opened at 52 Dundas St. E., just east of the downtown bridge, in 1953 as a Ford dealership, and has stayed at its current location ever since.

The construction of its new facility, which includes a bright and spacious showroom as well as lowered living-room-like sales offices, allows it to continue doing business at 52 Dundas St. E. and be part of the municipality’s efforts to grow business downtown.

The new headquarters is actually the third building for the dealership. Originally, cars were sold from a small building that also served as a gas station. A new showroom was constructed in 1970 to better serve the growing business.

Plans for the current building began a couple years ago and construction was completed this winter, not long before Wednesday’s grand re-opening.

Interestingly, the family that runs the business is also into a third generation.

The dealership was founded by the late Vagn Lange and John Fetter. It’s now owned

by Vagn’s son Rick Lange. And Rick’s daughter, Stephanie Lange, is now the sales director. Fetter left the business in the mid 1970s, but the Lange family decided to keep his name on the title as a lasting tribute to his work.

The families remain friends and John Fetter, now at age 92, attended the grand re-opening to reminisce with old friends and celebrate the dealership’s success.

“It’s beautiful,” Fetter said of the new facility after walking around the showroom and looking at old photographs. “It’s a far cry from what we had.”

Rick Lange said he’s proud of the new facility and the fact that the businesses has been able to stay in the same location for more than 60 years.

“The location is an excellent location,” he said, noting that it’s easily visible to downtown drivers. “Historically, this is where it started and I was happy to keep it here. I can’t think of a reason to bring it out of downtown. Our customers know where we are.”

Lange believes part of the reason why the business has lasted is because customers appreciate buying cars from a family-run operation that can offer consistent staff. The dealership employees about 35 workers, including people in sales and service and many of them have been with the dealership for several years.

When asked what the secret to success is, Lange gave a frank and honest answer.

“I don’t think there’s any magic; it’s just been a matter of trying to stay current and offering quality service,” he said, noting that the service does not stop once the customer buys a car.

The staff and service team work to ensure they get the most out of their vehicle.

The fact that the dealership sells quality vehicles, helps, too. Lange said he’s also proud of the fact that the dealership has remained with Ford all this time, noting the auto company’s innovation and ability to always turn out new products.

In a speech as part of the grand re-opening celebration, Mike Herniak, Ford’s general manager for Eastern Market, pointed out that Ford has been the top selling automobile brand in Canada for the past four years.

One of its signature products, the F150 pick up truck, continues to be a top seller, but the company expects to put out several new models over the next year.

This success, Herniak said, is thanks to customers and dealership owners and staff members, such as those at Lange & Fetter Motors, who are committed to the products.

“The thing that differentiates us from others is that we’re still a family run company,” Herniak said.

When Rick Lange spoke at the podium, he thanked his staff, customers, and municipal officials who worked with them on the redevelopment of, not only the lot, but the stretch of Dundas Street East. It was repaved and widened recently to make room for the new dealership and other businesses.

“I hope we’re here for another 60 years,” he said.

“I don’t think there’s any magic; it’s just been a matter of trying to stay current and offering quality service.”

Beginning early can ease the pressure of Mother’s Day shopping. Research gift options at least a month prior so that you can read reviews on products and services to guarantee quality. You also want to make sure the gift will arrive on time if you will be ordering your gift online. Here are other ways to shop in a smart manner.

Marmora Inn

* Do some sleuthing. Play detective and take inventory of what Mom likes to do the most. Practical gifts are less likely to end up unopened in the basement or attic.

Mother’s Day Menu

* Check expiration dates. Gift certificates and cards for particular stores or services are popular but it is essential to check expiration dates as there is a good chance Mom will put off pampering herself.

Four Course Meal ~ $32.00 per person Served between 12:00 pm and 7:00 p.m.

* Skip the chocolate overload. Calorie-conscious women may not want to be faced with the temptation of a warehouse-sized box of chocolate treats. If Mom truly loves chocolate, treat her to a gourmet piece or two, but don’t make that your main gift.

St. John’s dinner theatre carries on a tradition

By Brett Mann

Entertainment – Tweed – St. John’s United Church continued a 20-plus year tradition recently with a presentation of their popular dinner theatre.

This season’s play was An Evening of Culture, Faith Country 2 by Mark Landon Smith, a comedy featuring a “bunch of rednecks putting on a play about Romeo and Juliette,” in the words of Bonnie McNeil the director. In the course of events “everything goes wrong. We always put on a comedy, some silliness to make people laugh and forget their troubles,” said Ms. McNeil, who has been directing plays at St. John’s for an unbroken 24-year stretch, usually on the third weekend in April.

A good-sized audience enjoyed the matinee performance on Sunday and the roast beef dinner served downstairs after the play. “Palmateers provide and prepare the BBQ beef for the dinner and a group of UCW women led by Judy Gunning and Roseanne White supply deserts,” said McNeil, noting “we usually have a good turn out. We can seat 120 people and we’re usually full.”

Profits from the event go towards supporting

the work of St. John’s in the community with such programs as monthly monetary donations to the food bank and funding youth for summer camp at Camp Quin-Mo-Lac. In addition, reports Al McNeil, Bonnie’s husband and long time performer in St. John’s productions, the audience is asked to bring non-perishable food items which are donated to the local food bank. “We have been doing this for many years and we have been able to donate almost two tons of food over that time.”

An Evening of Culture features eight actors who have all been involved in previous productions.

“In the past we’ve had as many as 53 performers, but now we’re down to a core group. I don’t think I could handle more than eight,” said Ms. McNeil with a laugh. “We hope do one more play next year to make it a full 25 years.”

Program notes honour several long-time cast members who have passed away and are missed, Doreen Benn (Ms. McNeil’s mom) and Jack Vance and Lorraine Burt. Director McNeil also provided costumes while the amusing and creative “red neck” set was designed and constructed by Kevin The St. John’s Players get in character for a performance of Mark Landon Smith’s An Evening of Culture.

Four charged for trafficking News – Stirling – Police have laid cocaine trafficking charges against four people, including two Stirling men, following the execution of a search warrant at a West Front Street apartment last week.

According to a statement issued by the Stirling-Rawdon Police, the service received information that illegal drugs were being kept at the location. With the assistance of the OPP Organized Crime Enforcement BureauDrug Enforcement Unit, the OPP Emergency

Response Team, and an OPP canine unit, a search warrant was executed at the residence and a quantity of cocaine and marijuana was seized.

Four males have been charged and were ordered to appear in Belleville court on June 3, 2014. They include a 23-year-old and a 19-yearold from Stirling as well as a 19-year-old and a 17-year-old from Toronto. Two of those charged also face counts of possession of property (under $5,000) obtained by crime.

Lifestyles - Actinolite - The Tweed and Area Arts Council (TAAC) is offering a series of visual arts workshops including a hands-on demonstration of water colour painting taught by Sharon Bowers, a watercolour and mixed me-

dia artist who also teaches at Bayside Secondary School.

Ten people registered for the $50, all-day course offered at the Marble Arts Centre in Actinolite at the end of April.

Funds raised from the workshop are used to support the

activities of TAAC. “For most of the people today this is their first foray into watercolours. Some of them are artists in other media. Some do acrylics, some do oils, and some have done water colours in the past but for some this is their first experience,” Ms. Bowers noted. Students were from around the area, with one person travelling from Bancroft. “I talk a lot about supplies, the kinds of brushes, paper, the kind of paint that works best. Then we learn by doing with step-by-step instruction,” says Bowers, who roams around the room giving directions and individual help.

Ms. Bowers provides four “mini-

lessons” in landscapes, birch trees and finally flowers. Floral paintings are her favourites. “We look at each other’s work at the end of each piece so we can learn from each other as well.” Water colours can be very soft and delicate, but “you can get very strong values with water colours too. This is water colour on canvas,” said Bowers, showing one of her paintings and adding “you can paint on rice paper as well, or different media. It doesn’t have to be traditional water colour paper. Some of the rice papers look like batik or silk.”

Ms. Bowers has a studio in Bayside where she teaches adults and in the summer time, young chil-

dren and teachers. In summer she teaches a two-week Loyalist College course from her home garden where students work outside. She studied art at Queen’s University and has taken art instruction “from numerous artists in Sicily, Greece, Arizona and in France” Bowers remarks, noting “you’re always learning. You’re always a student.

Water colours can be loose and pastel and impressionistic or they can be very realistic with layers and layers of paint. There are many styles.” This was Ms. Bowers first class in the Tweed area.

Bob Pennycook, a member of the board of TAAC has organized a series of workshops, in-

cluding the one on water colours.

“There’s one on pastels offered

by Susanne Vanderwey, and one on acrylics with Saga Sabin, and one with me, on monoprinting,” he said. This is the second series of workshops, says Pennycook who joined the board of TAAC recently and whose job is “to arrange visual artwork.” He himself is a visual artist specializing in acrylics. He is familiar with the other artists in the series mainly through the Belleville Arts Council, he reports. The series has been successful with nine or ten people in each class. The $50 fee is very reasonable for a full day’s course, Pennycook observed.

Legion volunteers put trash in its place

By Richard Turtle

News - Stirling - It was a dirty job, but there were plenty of Legion members from Branch 228 willing to do it.

Teams of volunteers from the local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion took to the trails and ditches last Saturday morning in a massive spring cleaning effort along the travel routes into the village. With the disappearance of unusually heavy snows came the re-emergence of a season’s worth of litter and it was the perfect time, says Branch President George Jones, to get outdoors and make a contribuSharon Bower exhibits her work during a break in a full-day course in wa- tion to the community.

OF THE WEEK! Aries, Baba and Jimminy Cricket

PET

I’m happy to introduce you to Aries, Baba and Jimminy Cricket these beautiful kittens are 7 months old. They are all very playful, happy and ready to find their forever homes.

Having more than one cat or kitten is twice the fun for you and for them.

They will have each other for playmates while you are away. When you come home you will have such fun watching them play together and with you.

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.

We have an adoption process which

includes an application and contract. Our adoption fees are $75. for kittens and $50. for cats. which includes spay/neuter, first, vaccines, deworm and deflea.

Thanks for supporting CCSNI which is an all volunteer organization. Donations are always appreciated.

sent to various locations to bash the trash along the main roads into the village and help beautify the view.

“We were just trying to do a little cleanup around the community and I think it went pretty well,” Jones said after most of the volunteers had called it a day and much of the heavy lifting was already done. After arriving for the 9 a.m. Trash Bash launch, most spent the next few hours filling bags along hundreds of metres of roads and trails. “We had a good load to take to the dump, that’s for sure,” Jones said.

And after a Saturday morning of combing the grass and bushes for all manner of garbage and recyclables, crews had made a significant difference to the landscape before reassembling at the Legion for lunch.

Equipped with rubber gloves, reflective vests and plenty of bags, Donna Graff, Dawn Davies and Sandra Barrie spent much of the morning along the Stirling-Frankford Road

Gardeners arrive to celebrate spring

By Richard Turtle

News - Stirling - With spring in the air and plants in hand, members of the Stirling and District Horticultural Society brought a little sunshine to residents at Stirling Manor last week.

The indoor therapeutic gardening session was being offered for the first time by the horticultural group, explains President Susan Carew, and provided about ten residents with the opportunity to get a jump on spring by potting a few young plants. “But we will be back to plant in the flower beds,” she says, adding while the gardening workshop was their first for the residents there, volunteers have been helping with the spring planting and weeding in the residence’s outdoor gardens.

Plants were generously provided b Steve Airhart, Carew says, noting the first-time program was a big success.

“It’s part of the Ontario Horticultural Society mandate,” she explains of the outreach program, “but we really love doing it too.”

Each of the workshop participants was supplied with all the necessary tools and accessories while bags of potting soil were readily available along with the advice of several experienced and enthusiastic gardeners.

Members of the Horticultural Society are also preparing for their annual plant sale, held every spring at the covered bridge in Stirling. This year’s sale will be held on the morning of Saturday, May 24, and as usual, Carew says, “we’ll have lots of nice plants there.”

Major downtown Belleville plan unveiled

Stirling and District Horticultural Society President Susan Carew offers Stirling Manor resident Allan Sine a scoop of potting soil during a recent workshop at Stirling Manor. Also pictured is 2nd Vice Dee Sinclair.

Plant shoppers are advised to arrive early for the best selection as the popular spring tradition attracts numerous local horticulturalists.

The society welcomes new members, Carew says, adding the existing membership represents many centuries of gardening experience. In fact, she notes, six society members will be recognized at the Ontario Volunteer

Service Awards ceremony next week in Belleville and each has held a membership for at least 30 years.

Among those scheduled to receive awards for their volunteerism are Stirling and District Horticultural Society members Donna Armstrong (50 years), Glen and Lois Bennett (40 years), Sylvia Edgar (40 years) and Joan and Monte Moorcroft (30 years).

News - Belleville City Council has a major decision to make over the next two or three weeks following unveiling of a massive new development proposal for the downtown core Tuesday morning.

At this stage, the proposal is a concept generated by local developers and RFA Planning Consultants Inc. But as company principals Ruth FergusonAulthouse and Stephen Hyndman, senior associate, made clear, the massive investment by the private sector, several millions, requires a partnership and some funding by the city.

Sparking the concept is a tentative deal for a local developer to purchase both Century Place and the former Intelligencer building.

High end condominiums would be created in the top floors of Century Place with enhanced commercial space on the lower floors. The vacant Intelligencer building would be demolished to allow a four-storey parking garage.

That is just a start, the RFA officials said. To make that project necessary, the city would have to clear the property it owns on the east side of Pinnacle Street (offices, bus terminal and parking lot,) and make that the site for a new police station.

Mayor Neil Ellis said he encouraged the company to go public with

the plan to allow some public input before it could come to the next council meeting on May 12, or a special meeting if necessary, although council and city staff have already seen the plan in an early presentation.

The mayor said the police station is already part of the Build Belleville program so the city’s financial commitment would be reasonable providing the Police Commission and the special committee spearheading a new station, agree, but details of an agreement to share in the parking garage and other aspects remain to be worked out.

Hyndman and Ferguson–Aulthouse said the development proposal is only one result from the city’s own Build Belleville concepts and would trigger even more private investment in the core. The Memorial Arena was also cited as a potential part of the complex.

“This looks like what city council has been trying to get to,” said the mayor, stressing that it remains a challenging decision for council.

Ferguson-Aulthouse, who has been involved in many projects and planning issues over the years, said “This is by far the biggest project I’ve been involved with.”

Both she and Hyndman insisted that there is a limited time frame to complete any possible deal and “timing is critical.”

Boyle stands up for Stirling-Rawdon library

By Richard Turtle

News - Stirling - Timmy Boyle has discovered a lot of humour in the world around him but since moving to Stirling in the fall of 2012 he has also discovered a strong sense of community as well.

The stand-up comedian and founder of Up Standing Comedy has crossed Canada and toured the United States with his all-ages routines, recently settling in Stirling with his wife and three children. And since his arrival from Toronto, he says, he has been made to feel completely at home.

So when a local institution was threatened by recently announced municipal budget cuts, Boyle decided to take action. In his own funny sort of way.

“I was at the [public] meeting after we heard about the cuts that were coming down,” says the frequent library user and ardent supporter, “and I wondered, ‘What I could do to help?’” And then it hit him.

After a couple of quick meetings with Chief Librarian Sue Winfield and Stirling Festival Theatre Managing Di-

rector David Vanderlip, who Boyle says were both extremely accommodating, a library fund raiser was quickly arranged with other sponsors waiting in the wings, immediately willing to offer their help as well, Boyle says. So on May 24 he will bring his Up Standing Comedy show to the Stirling Festival Theatre, with all proceeds from ticket sales going to the local library.

“Everybody’s been completely supportive,” Boyle says of what he’s billing as The Show of the Year. “I think it’s a perfect community event. It’s local talent at the local theatre with a local cause,” he says.

The show promising “classic standup comedy without the rude and crude,” will feature opening act James MacNeil, a comedian from Chatham, Ontario, as well as live preshow music performed by Trentonbased Chatterbox.

The performers are all offering their services for free,

he says, noting that too reflects the sense of community he has felt since his first weeks in the village. All tickets are $20 and available through the theatre box office.

“To me it was a no-brainer,” he says of putting the show together in support of what he describes as “a solid community institution.

“I go to the library all the time,” he notes, adding his family, including children ages 11 to 20, frequently use library services as well. And the show marks his second appearance in Stirling.

“I’m pretty pumped about this, actually,” Boyle says, noting, “we packed the house [at Stirling’s Community Pentecostal Church] last June, so that was great.” His performance there was given a standing ovation.

So with a full evening of family entertainment planned for May 24, and the additional support of his fellow artists and sponsors including SFT, Fine Line Design, Up Standing Comedy and Ar-

risberg, he says, this will undoubtedly be a show for the ages. As Boyle points out, it’s already been named The Show of the Year.

School board promotes First Nation education

By Steve Jessel

News – Belleville – The Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board (HPEDSB) joined school boards across the country Monday night by endorsing the Charter of Commitment on First Nation, Metis and Inuit education, and director of education Mandy SaveryWhiteway said it’s an important step forward. “I think it’s really important, that as you look provincially and you see that the Ontario Public School Board Association has endorsed it, that our trustees recognize that they wanted that support that effort,� she said. “In our board we have always honoured the wonderful heritage we have in this region, we are privileged

to work with the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte, and we wanted to make sure we publicly endorsed this charter.�

Adopted by the OPSBA in November of 2013, the Charter of Commitment on First Nation, Metis and Inuit education puts forward a strengths-based set of values to promote success in First Nation, MĂŠtis and Inuit education. The intent of the charter is for school boards to show their support for First Nation, MĂŠtis and Inuit knowledge systems and learning models, the central value of culture, language and knowledge of history in contributing to the well-being of First Nation, MĂŠtis and Inuit students, families and communities, and a holistic approach that addresses spiritual, emotional, physical and intellectual development in relation to one’s self, family, community and environment. “We have a significant population within our board [of students that identify as First Nation, Metis or Inuit] and I want to stress that would be right through the district,â€? Savery-Whiteway said. “We also have a self-identification process to

allow students to come forward and let us know how we can support them... that’s part of our practice and has been for a very long time.�

The Charter details a number of ways to promote First Nation, Metis and Inuit education, including fostering initiatives that provide students with positive transition experiences in moving from First Nation communities to provincially funded schools, actively identifying opportunities to integrate First Nation, MĂŠtis and Inuit histories, cultures and perspectives in delivery of curriculum in the classroom, and consulting with Elders and other First Nation, MĂŠtis and Inuit experts in traditional knowledge, cultures, and histories to bring relevant local perspectives to instruction planning. “We will continue all of our efforts that we have underway in the board, through our board approval plan for student achievement, through our whole school approaches, we’ll just continue the work we do and we’re always looking for that opportunity to be better at what we’re doing,â€? Savery-Whiteway said.

Breast cancer will be featured topic at health forum

By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - Breast cancer is the focus of this year’s community health forum being hosted by The Lioness Club of Campbellford.

Dr. Nancy Down, the deputy chief of surgery at North York General Hospital, will be the featured guest speaker.

Originally from Trenton, her 12page CV (curriculum vitae) includes an impressive account of her training, background and expertise as well as her many medical memberships, honours and awards, presentations and research accomplishments.

There is also another local connection: Dr. Down is the sister of Kathy Redden, well known for her involvement in the Trent Hills community.

“It’s going to be an exciting forum

here in Campbellford,” said Maureen Dikun, committee chairperson of the event and a member of the Campbellford Lioness Club.

“And it’s happening on the same day as the open house at the Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH) being held to celebrate the new digital mammography unit with tours of the diagnostic imaging area including the CT Scan suite and new digital mammography suite.

“Breast cancer is a problem affecting not only women but men also,” noted Dikun, who said the topic for this year’s forum is “very important.”

“North York General Hospital is a major centre for cancer care and Dr. Down is described as one of the reasons why this hospital is a major centre for cancer care in Toronto,” she added.

Dr. Down graduated from the University of Toronto Medical School in 1980.

According to the University of Toronto web site she completed her surgical training in the Gallie program at the university and subsequently did a clinical fellowship in general surgery at St. Michael’s Hospital. In 1985 she set up her general surgical practice at Etobicoke General Hospital where she practised for ten years before moving to North York General Hospital where she practises today. Her clinical practice covers a broad range of general surgery including a high volume of breast, thyroid, endoscopy and laparoscopic sur-

gery. She is currently the deputy chief of surgery at North York General Hospital and is consultant general surgeon to the Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Marlies Hockey Teams.

“As keynote speaker Dr. Down will discuss cancer detection, incidence, treatment, assistance and support, and challenges that face both those people affected and their loved ones,” said Dikun.

Joining her at the forum will be Patt McDowell, a teacher at Hastings Public School, who is a survivor of both breast and cervical cancer.

“I am a wife, a mother, a friend, and a

teacher. I am also a two-time cancer survivor. I faced my cancer journey head on and with humour,” said McDowell.

Fay Smith, a long-time X-Ray Technologist and manager of the Diagnostic Imaging Department at CMH will be at the forum as well to talk about the progress made in mammography and the new Digital Mammography Unit at CMH. The community health forum will take place on Thursday, May 15, 2014, at 7:30 p.m. at Campbellford District High School. There is no admission charge.

There will be displays, literature available and refreshments.

“We rely on donations for equipment purchases such as this. My company has represented Economical since 1895, and I am pleased to say that their generous donation will make a big difference to our small hospital.”

In 2012, Economical donated $10,000 to the CMH Foundation in support of endof-life/palliative care patients. The funds helped purchase a new bed fitted with an air mattress specifically designed to enhance the comfort of bed-ridden palliative patients at CMH. “We are proud to give back to Campbellford in partnership with Newman, Oliver & McCarten,” said Tom Reikman, Economical’s chief operating officer.

“Newman, Oliver & McCarten has been our trusted broker partner in serving the needs of the community for nearly 120 years. This donation meets a definite need at CMH and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to keeping Campbellford a place where many people are proud to call home.”

Founded in 1871, Economical Insurance is one of Canada’s leading property and casualty insurers, with $1.9 billion in premiums and more than $5.1 billion in assets as at December 31, 2013. Based in Waterloo, this Canadian-owned and operated company services the insurance needs of more than one million customers across the country.

CMH is a 34-bed health care facility located in Campbellford. It serves approximately 30,000 Northumberland, Peterborough and Hastings County residents, as well as a large seasonal population of cottagers and tourists enjoying the beautiful Kawartha Lakes Region and the Trent River System.

McKesson Canada looking for a few good men and women

By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - McKesson Canada is looking to hire 60 people to start work soon at its pharmaceutical products plant on Hamilton Road.

Manager Bryan Asher said the 500,000-square-foot building is the biggest site of its operation in Canada and McKesson will have at least 100 people working three shifts 24/7. “Thirty of those people have already been transferred over from the former Sidney Street McKesson centre,� he said.

The company distributes 35,000 products to hospitals and pharmacies. “We have a very advanced distribution system,� Asher noted, in a talk with Mayor John Williams.

He took Williams on a tour of the plant and Williams was very impressed with the sheer

size of it. “I was blown away,� he said with a laugh. “The state-of-theart system is unbelievable.�

Williams said the company will be here for years and years, a great addition to the city.

Asher commented, “We have a great team of employees. We want to hire 60 more for a total of 100 new jobs. They should be ambitious, willing to work hard and be part of the team.�

He said workers will be involved in material handling, power equipment, forklifts and cross-training. He said the wages are competitive.

Williams said that McKesson was able to work well with staff and get started in Quinte West. “These are great jobs,� Williams said. “It’s a huge win.�

News - Quinte West - Outgoing Honorary Colonel Maureen Piercy, president of Loyalist College, has been replaced by local businessman Bernie Ouellet.

The Change of Command ceremony was held at 8 Air Communication and Control Squadron (8 ACCS) on April 25. “We are very proud of our unique culture and history,â€? said 8 ACCS Commanding OfďŹ cer Major Jeff Szumlanksi.

He said the squadron celebrates its 45th anniversary this year. The primary role of the team has been to provide air transportable navigational aids, tactical communications, landing aids facilities and air trafďŹ c control support in worldwide operations.

He noted there have been 246 Canadians named as honorary colonels since 1970 to help foster “esprit de corpsâ€? and build relationships between the base and its communities. He was proud to say that 14 of these were women, some as well known as Roberta Bondar and singer Loreena McKennitt. Maureen Piercy has been honorary colonel of 8 ACCS since 2009. “It’s like having a ďŹ rst child,â€? he said, “seeing everything through their eyes.â€?

He noted that Piercy had to have a little help with her uniform at the beginning. “Her husband had to tie her ďŹ rst tie,â€? he said with a smile.

Piercy said she was honoured and touched, privileged to have the opportunities over the past ďŹ ve years. “It was an opportunity to know the ‘Gypsies’ and learn about their technical skills and passionate commitment,â€? she said.

returned to attend York University, he joined their ski team and raced with the Don Valley Racers. From 1987 to 1993 he skied in Alpine Masters competitions. Then he changed his focus.

He took up farming in Madoc Township, where he and his brother managed Godfrey Growers, producing sauerkraut and pickles for Shopsy’s and Schneider food companies. He also taught in schools and coached the Alpine ski team at Centre Hastings Secondary School.

Over the years he kept up with sports and physical exercise: windsurfing, paddleboarding, cross country skiing, hiking and canoeing, along with 30 years of Tai Chi, but returning to ski racing was the final challenge.

Godfrey took a gold medal in his age category at Naskiska, B.C. in the Western Alpine competitions, and three golds at the nationals in Kimberley, B.C. March 27 to 30.

He returned home April 1 with Alpine Canada’s National Masters champion-

ship. bers for his age group, but, The field of racers may the years of skiing success not have been great in num- for seven members of the

U75 category of Alpine racers, aged 70 to 75, had a remarkable track record on the slopes.

Godfrey says, “It’s really not a big deal, but, I am thrilled to have been racing again. Racing is different than just skiing. One can’t ski fast at a club, it is too dangerous. When racing we can go really fast, you’re alone on the slope.”

The final hill was the Kimberley slope, with a vertical drop of 460 meters, descending from 1,770 meters above sea level. Godfrey finished with a minute and a half record for the slalom.

The final challenge took the elder

racers down one of the more difficult slopes, once used by the legendary Crazy Canucks and Steve Podborski.

Those he raced with remember those days back in the seventies.

Godfrey says anyone who wants to race in Canada can become a member of the Alpine racers association. To join, racers must pay dues and competition fees, which cover insurance and helps maintain professional race standards. The association is something like an actor’s guild.

Godfrey’s success speaks to the benefits that come from early training and continuing to stay determined all the way into the elder years.

Healthy Half Marathon beats the cold weather

Sports - Quinte West - It was a cold wind along the bay near city hall on Sunday morning but that didn’t stop 150 participants from coming out for the Healthy Half Marathon.

“Our numbers are a little down from last year,” said organizer Colleen Vickers, “but it’s still a nice day. It’s not raining.”

She said comments from the runners and walkers showed they didn’t mind the weather.

“They say the route is the fastest, the flattest and the most scenic,” she said.

The route follows the waterfront over roads and trails, looping back to city hall. There was a half marathon, a ten-kilometre, a five-kilometre and the Mayor’s Walk.

“This is our fifth year,” she added.

“We raised over $50,000 in our first four years.”

All the money goes to priority medical equipment through the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation.

Kris Bonn and Dr. Robbie Iny ran the ten-kilometre together, cheered on by Kris’ family Cassandra, Grace, six, and Fraser, two.

“Cassandra and I just ran the Boston Marathon last week,” Bonn said. “We did it in three hours and 37 minutes.”

Bonn said the ten-kilometre run at city hall was not nearly as gruelling, and took just over 40 minutes, but he ran it as fast as he could which made it more interesting. He also paid 18 of his staff the fees to participate, all for a good cause.

Next week they are on to the Good Life Marathon in Toronto.

“Last year we ran around the bay,” Bonn added. “I just turned 40 so it was a celebration. We also raised $9,000 to benefit the Children’s Treatment Centre in Belleville.”

He noted that Iny’s son has benefited from the children’s treatment centre because he has cerebral palsy.

Bonn said the Healthy Half Marathon is great for the community. “We love the course, the pavement and trail,” he said with a smile.

Other participants were just as enthused about the opportunity to enjoy their sport and help the hospital.

Emma, three, and Madison, one, watched their father in the Half Marathon. Lisa Lueck said last year she ran

with her husband Michael, with the children in the three-wheel stroller, but not this year. “We have one more on the way,” she said. “Maybe next year.”

Robin Pilon had a lot of support too.

“For the second year in a row, Trenton Rowing and Paddling Club supports the Quinte West Half Marathon to raise money for the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation by encouraging walkers

and runners to participate with them,” she said.

She had support from 436 Squadron CO Mark Goulden with his two sons and YMCA general manager Ron Riddell along with Marc Roy, Janet Parker, Angela and John Smylie. And her little

dog took part too, running ahead on his leash as fast as his little legs would go.

The Mayor’s Walk at the end of the other races included the mayor walking with three St. John Ambulance attendants close behind. Fortunately, they all returned safely.

Sports – Madoc – Madoc Township resident Mark Godfrey decided to get back into alpine ski racing during the winter of 2012, after a lapse of 20 years.

By the end of last winter he was “only finishing in the middle of the pack,” he says.

“So I decided to try harder.”

Commendable one might say, but for Godfrey it was a “thrill” to be back on the racing circuit, which he began in high school in the late 1950s.

Godfrey, now in his early seventies, took four gold medals during a series of alpine race competitions in British Colombia this March.

He started training at the Batawa Ski Club when the 2013 season opened, and in Collingwood a couple of times, then felt confident enough to try the 2014 Alpine race season out west.

He is a member of Alpine Ontario racing.

When he graduated from high school he took a world tour, hitchhiking and working for three years. When he

As a former POW, Al Wallace, now 93, said it brought back memories. “They made us get out of the camp when they heard the Russians coming,� he said. “We slept in barns or outside. It was a tough time. There was a foot of snow. All we had was what we carried on our back or in a sleigh.�

He said they were evacuated again when they heard the British army getting closer, forced to walk for days in the countryside. “I had a blanket, my gray coat, some food and cigarettes,� he said. “We all smoked.�

Al says he lives in a condo on the 14th oor in Richmond Hill now. “It’s a lot more comfortable,â€? he says with a smile. “I enjoyed ying the Halifax,â€? he adds, looking up at the massive restored Halifax in the museum. “I did 15 and a half trips. I only count the last one as half because the plane went down.â€?

Al says he was stationed in Yorkshire with 419 Moose Squadron. “The motors on the Halifax were Merlins,� he said, “made by Rolls Royce.

They were the early ones. After that they made them better, more dependable.�

He says all his former crew are gone now.

News - Quinte West - When Al Wallace was only 23 years old, he had to endure 18 months in a prison camp in Germany. “We parachuted out of the Halifax,â€? he said, at the opening of the Great Escape display at the National Air Force Museum of Canada on April 24. “We had to. It was on ďŹ re.â€?

He said ďŹ ve of the crew got out, but the pilot and wireless operator went down with the plane. The ďŹ ve were taken to prison camps. Al, who was the

mid upper gunner, and the bomb aimer, were taken to a separate camp for pilot ofďŹ cers. It was Stalag Luft-3.

This is the stalag where the notorious Great Escape took place in 1944, when 76 Allied Prisoners of War (POW) dug through a tunnel and got out. Tragically, only three of them made it home, while 50 were executed and 23 were sent back to camp.

The new display at the museum shows a life-like depiction on two levels, from a man tunnelling through the ground, up to a room (Hut 104) on the mezzanine

This model shows a prisoner digging a tunnel to escape from the camp.

Paddlers ride the rapids during MACKfest Photos: Stephen Petrick

Justin Bouwman, a paddler from the Kitchener area, moves down an area of the Black River during MACKfest.

News - Marmora - The springtime roar of rapids on local rivers was even more colourful and exciting than normal this weekend.

Dozens of paddlers took to Hastings County waterways April 26 and 27 to celebrate the Marmora Area Canoe and Kayak Festival (MACKfest), an annual April event to mark the start of the paddling season.

The weather was chilly and the sky was grey, but the paddlers were enthusiastic to be on the fast-flowing rivers, many of which were roaring and filled with white-foam forming waterfalls. They took to the upper and lower Black River, Beaver Creek, Crowe River, the Moira River and Skootamatta River. All were well higher

for profit, but rather to boost the local tourism economy; something that’s not difficult to do considering the area is known as a paddling hotspot and paddlers from across Canada come to the area and stay at resorts frequently through the season.

While calm summer paddling, has its

benefits, most paddlers find spring is the most exciting time to be on the water, Lawson added.

And this spring, the season has started late, owing to the cold weather. “That’s why there’s such a buzz about this year,� she said. “People have been waiting to paddle.�

than normal after an abominable winter and a significant spring melt. “Most people cringe at flooding,� said Manny Lawson, a head organizer for the event, commenting on the recent area conditions. “We get excited.�

Lawson is a member of the Kawartha Whitewater Paddlers, which launched the festival about eight years ago.

It started out small and has grown significantly over the years, Lawson said.

She was speaking at Bunkers Hideaway, a resort just outside Marmora, which hosted festival participants for an early morning get-together Saturday, before they headed to any of the several recommended courses. The paddlers also met there at the end of the day for dinner and evening entertainment.

A few dozen had gathered at the resort early Saturday morning; some even camped outside in the crisp weather.

Many of them, Lawson said, are members of paddling clubs elsewhere in the province. She said many of the participants were from locations such as Ottawa, Barrie and Kitchener.

The event, she said, is not intended This kayaker grips his paddle hard to put on the brakes after moving down rapids on Black River.

64th Festival of Praise coming to a close

R0012575552

The choir from host St. Paul’s United Church let their voices be heard during the Stirling Festival of Sacred Praise. The Stars of The senior choir from St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stirling was among the entries performing last weekend at the 64th the Festival concert, featuring some of the top performers, is scheduled for May 9 at 7 p.m.

Annual Stirling Festival of Sacred Praise. The festival, held at St. Paul’s United Church and the Stirling Festival Theatre, wraps up Friday.

By Richard Turtle

News - Stirling - Now celebrating its 64th year, the twoweek-long Stirling Festival of Sacred Praise is coming to a close tomorrow after singers, musicians and orators of all ages and experience levels performed for audiences and professional adjudicators in various classes.

Held under the auspices of the official board of St. Paul’s United Church and the Stirling Festival Committee, the annual festival continues to promote a love of sacred praise while maintaining a strong focus on encouraging the continued participation of boys, girls and young people, says committee president Donna Russett.

Vocal, instrumental and scripture classes are presented at both St. Paul’s and the Stirling Festival Theatre as part of the regional competition with top finishers eligible to proceed to the provincial level. But, notes Russett, the spirit of the event is as much

about encouraging learning and personal growth in each of the individual participants as it is about providing opportunities for further competition.

Professional adjudicators offer valuable feedback as well as tips and ideas to improve presentations, she says, adding it’s not only the seasoned performers who benefit. And many participants who begin as youngsters return year after year. As well, Russett says, the festival has been very fortunate to have such well-qualified judges providing both encouragement and advice.

And this year, she says, is no different. Adjudicators at the 64th Annual festival include Oshawa-based opera singer Kristine Dandavino overseeing vocal classes, Ottawa-born cellist Samuel Bisson adjudicating string instruments, bands, brass and woodwinds, Toronto/ Hamilton pianist David Story providing insights for participants in piano classes and

scripture adjudicator the Reverend Barbara Willard.

The festival regularly draws participants from Peterborough, Belleville and Napanee as well as from the immediate area and over the years Russett has seen thousands of singers and musicians perform. And each year Russett remains impressed by the calibre of talent shown by the many groups and individuals who take to the stage.

This year’s edition of the annual competition opened last Tuesday morning (April 22) with piano classes, followed by scripture and vocal classes later in the week. Band and string classes run tomorrow to close out the festival.

Russett, who was one of the young participants in the first Stirling Festival of Sacred Praise more than 60 years ago, is currently marking her tenth year as committee president. And while her involvement was lessened during the raising of her own family, she says, she has always been a strong supporter of the annual event.

The official festival is expected to close at about 9 p.m. tomorrow with the Stars of the Festival concert scheduled for Friday, May 9, at 7 p.m. at St. Paul’s.

The Stars concert is a regular feature of the festival and is also open to the public. Presented after the final adjudications, the celebratory concert offers a restaging of some of the top performances. Admission to the Stars concert is $3 for adults and 50 cents for children.

Beware of emerald ash borer News - Belleville - Quinte Conservation will be warning local municipalities about the dangers of the emerald ash borer. The decision was made at last week’s board meeting. Communications Manager Jennifer May-Anderson says, “The Quinte Conservation watersheds are now in the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s Emerald Ash Borer regulated area. We could see an infestation within the next five to ten years. Developing an emerald ash borer management plan is essential to maintaining tree cover within built-up areas and minimizing associated costs of the infestation.”

May-Anderson adds, “Our board wants to inform our municipalities about the risks of an emerald ash borer infestation so they can create a plan to address this serious issue that makes the most sense for each of them.”

There are many ash trees along municipal streets, in municipal parks and green spaces within cities, towns and villages in the Quinte Conservation watersheds. Once the beetle appears in a Please see “Quinte” on page B5

TRAVEL

Touring the fascinating tunnels of Moose Jaw

The entrance to the Tunnels of Moose Jaw tours.

A Moose Jaw motel is linked to Al Capone.

In Moose Jaw, you’ll be greeted by a Snowbird plane and Mac the Moose.

Lifestyles - In the early days of the 20th century, the majority of the large buildings in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, were being heated by steam. Therefore, it was decided to create a network of tunnels linking these buildings together so that equipment and supplies could easily be moved from building to building without having to almost freeze to death outside during the harsh prairie winter.

At about that same time, many Chinese immigrants had begun to arrive in Moose Jaw, where they worked for very low wages. In order to survive, many of these immigrants adopted the tunnel system as both their living quarters and workplaces. Sadly, many of these men were simply working on the tunnels themselves or in underground sweatshops (laundries, burlap factories, etc.), trying to survive -and hoping to save enough money to eventually be joined in Canada by their family members. They were often not treated well at all, merely being used as cheap labour.

Those days are gone now, but the “Passage to Fortune” tour that I took in these tunnels described the poignant history of Chinese immigrants very vividly. I was saddened to learn about the bigotry present in this era and that was another important factor in many of them staying underground for they weren’t accepted by some of the locals, as there seemed to be a lot of anti-Chinese sentiment. I learned that many of these men had been charged a large fee just to get to Canada and then they had to work long, arduous hours to simply pay off this debt (arranged through what was known as a coolie broker) before even attempting to have a better life here in Canada. Many, of course, never did get beyond this agonizing point!

As I toured through this maze of tunnels, the guide said that these immigrants often worked a 12-16 hour shift for about 35 cents and then they were

charged part of this wage to simply crash in crowded, unventilated bunk rooms located within the tunnels. My guide continued by stating that this reality was a moral blemish in Canadian history.

As I went from tunnel to tunnel, I passed some of these work areas and businesses and could imagine the horrid working conditions that they encountered. I also saw a former opium den, where some of the more discouraged would try to escape their grim reality.

As time went by, this “Chinese era” was replaced by the Prohibition era, and the tunnels then provided a great place to hide forbidden liquor and for brothels and gambling. It’s believed that mobsters made millions out of this location. The illegal liquor was said to have been exported into the U.S., particularly Chicago, by rail. Moose Jaw was nicknamed “Little Chicago”, and rumours spread that perhaps Al Capone himself spent some time in these tunnels; after all, organized crime seemed ram-

pant and Moose Jaw was touted as the “Sin Capital of the Prairies” at this time. A local barber, now deceased, even mentioned that he used to cut Al’s hair and another claimed to have been Al’s paper boy.

Perhaps these connections with Al Capone are true or perhaps they’re simply urban legends or tall tales, but some locals began talking about these and even today there’s a motel in downtown Moose Jaw known as Capone’s Hideaway. Well, after the bootlegging industry died down at the end of Prohibition, the tunnels apparently fell into disuse. Eventually, some enterprising people decided to use the tunnels for tours and “Passage to Fortune” and “The Chicago Connection” both began.

“The Chicago Connection” is the lighter, more entertaining tour but perhaps less factual.

On this journey into the tunnels, I was led by Gus, supposedly security for Big Al and Fanny, Al’s supposed decorator and bookkeeper. These two actors dressed in mobster-style costumes, took

us through a myriad of tunnels and secret passageways, behind shelves, etc., and past exit signs where there was no exit. We entered Miss Fanny’s Club, passed several cases of illegal liquor and a collection of guns, and then entered into Al’s office. We were told about the illegal activities that had allegedly taken place here under the direction of Al himself, and there was even an anecdote about Al playing golf in the Moose Jaw area. Gus said that he always carried a gun with him, so there was a 45 in his golf bag at the time. When Our costumed guide leads us on “The Chicago Connection” tour. he went to put back his putter, the gun accidentally fired and shot Big Al in both legs! It was a hole in two!

The tunnel tours are almost an COACH & TOURS hour in length each, and they’re available daily except Dec. 25, and the prices per tour are $15 adult, $12 senior, $11.50 youth, $8.50 child 6-1), and it’s free for 5 and under. To combine both tours, the prices are $25, $21, $20, and $14. Group rates are also available (www.tunnelsofmoosejaw.com).

Quinte Conservation warns of emerald ash borer

Continued from page B4

community, it spreads rapidly.

Trees attacked by the emerald ash borer typically die within one to three years. Costs associated with an emerald ash borer infestation include the treatment, removal, and replacement of trees.

Benefits of urban trees include the provision of oxygen, reduction of pollution, conservation

of water, prevention of soil erosion, provision of food and shelter for wildlife and moderation of climate. Trees also increase property values and contribute to the quality of life in a neighbourhood. Ash has a high tolerance of salt, poor soils and air pollution, which makes it a valuable component of the urban forest.

In 2002 the emerald ash borer

was first detected in Ontario near Windsor. As of March 2014 there have been no confirmed cases of emerald ash borer in Hastings, Prince Edward, and Lennox and Addington Counties. It has been confirmed in Northumberland and Frontenac Counties.

Mutual aid expands across county borders The city of Belleville provided 6,000 News - Trent Hills - A new partnership was forged between sandbags to the municipality.

Mutual Aid systems in Northumberland and Hastings coun“That really bailed us out,” Trent Hills Fire ties last week in response to the flooding that took place in Chief Tim Blake said. “We would have got the Trent Hills. job done but it would have been an extraordinary feat to fill the bags and place them [in a timely manner].”

They “saved our guys a lot of work by having them bagged,” he said. “It was a tremendous help.”

By going outside the county to help in

unusual circumstances, “we actually did something in uncharted territory,” Blake said.

The assistance was arranged by his alternate as Northumberland’s Mutual Aid co-ordinator, Cobourg Deputy Fire Chief Gene Thompson, who got in touch with his counterpart in Belleville, Deputy Fire Chief Bruce Greatrix.

There “wasn’t a real need” for the surplus sandbags in Belleville after the Moira River had dropped a foot-and-a-half, Thompson said.

“It’s rare that we go across counties but it

does happen,” Greatrix said.

Blake said firefighters and public works staff worked eight straight days preparing and putting sandbags in place.

They were helped one day last week by five firefighters from each of the county’s municipal fire departments, who were also “on emergency standby right from the start … ready to respond at any given time in case we had to get into an evacuation situation,” he said. “We didn’t know what the water levels were going to do.”

News - Quinte West - With the Bay of Quinte as a backdrop, federal representative Dr. Colin Carrie from the Ministry of the Environment announced the government’s commitment to cleaning up the Great Lakes.

“We need to protect and restore Canada’s Great Lakes,” he told a small group at the Bay of Quinte Country Club on Old Highway 2 on April 23.

He said there are 31 environmental cleanup projects in the Great Lakes valued at $1.88 million, funded by the Great Lakes Sustainability Fund.

“We have a shared goal with our partners, the conservation authorities, the municipalities and the province of Ontario to clean up all remaining areas,” he said.

Terry Murphy, general manager from Quinte Conservation and co-chair of the Remedial Action Plan Restoration Council, said they are close to de-listing the Bay of Quinte.

“The fish are edible,” he said. “But we have more work to do.”

He said they are monitoring the bay now.

“We can’t just walk away,” he said.

“The Bay of Quinte is so important to this area, especially to tourism.”

Glenda Rodgers, general manager from Lower Trent Conservation and co-chair of the Remedial Action Plan Restoration Council, said they have been working on restoring the bay since 1990.

Seven issues have been addressed and five beneficial use impairments have been utilized such as dredging.

“By 2017 we hope to de-list the Bay from an Area of Concern,” she said. “The work is not yet done. There are emerging issues and new challenges. We want to keep the Bay of Quinte healthy and vibrant.”

MP Rick Norlock said he likes fishing during walleye season.

“I tell people if it’s under six pounds I throw it back,” he said with a laugh.

Lifestyles - The Friends of Presqu’ile Park are pleased to announce that, yes after a long, cold winter, that spring is finally here! While birds have been trickling back north for a couple of months, the big wave of tens of thousands of songbirds and shorebirds that migrate through Presqu’ile Provincial Park, will be arriving in May. These are some of the most beautiful and sought after birds for birdwatchers and this weekend is packed with activities designed to introduce visitors to these birds and the fine art of bird watching.

On both Saturday, May 17 and Sunday, May 18 we will start out with an ultra early bird walk for the ultra keen at 6:30 a.m. from the Lighthouse Centre. Want to sleep a bit longer? We will also offer a repeat bird walk starting at 10 a.m. from the Lighthouse Centre. “Warblers are often called the “jewels of the forest” for their varied and beautiful colours,” says Park Naturalist David Bree, “but they can be a challenge to see. Our experts can help you find and identify some of the 20+ species likely present in the park this weekend. While bird watching is best in the early morning, there is usually some activity all day during migration and we should see birds on our later walks as well as the early ones.”

There will be a guided walk starting from the Owen Point Trail parking lot at 2 p.m. to seek out shorebirds. Bree goes on to say, “With this walk we are going to the other end of the birding spectrum.

Warblers are often hidden, shorebirds stand in the open, Warblers are brightly coloured, shorebirds are beautiful but are subtle tones of brown, grey, and red. Shorebirds too can be a challenge to identify, but having a guide with a spotting scope will help visitors get a good look at these fascinating creatures.

These are true long-distance migrants; many are travelling from southern South America to the Canadian Arctic and are only stopping a few days at Presqu’ile to refuel.”

The highlight for many will be a bird banding demonstration at the Owen Point Trail parking lot from 8 a.m. until noon courtesy of Elizabeth Kellogg and Roger Frost, licensed bird banders.

The joy of cooking being taught to young people Photos: John Campbell

Public health food worker Pat Stuckless helps Brandon Vau make a watermelon basket.

By John Campbell

News - Brighton - A handful of young people are learning to cook from scratch and discover for themselves the joy it can bring.

The four classes arranged by the Beacon Youth Centre are being taught by Pat Stuckless, a public health food worker with the Haliburton Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit.

She introduced the teenagers to basic kitchen tools and how to use knives at the first session and then instructed them last week on how to make a bean and lentil salsa, fruit salad, bruschetta and nacho chips.

“It’s all about making it easier [for them],” she said, so they will be more inclined to prepare their own meals and snacks, rather than turn to processed foods that are high in fat and sodium, and can be very expensive.

“It’s introducing them to different foods and just letting them have some fun,” Stuckless said.

The free lessons are “a great opportunity for kids to learn about cooking,” said Beacon Youth Centre director Rene Schmidt.

He announced the drop-in at the plaza on Alice Street has expanded its hours of operation with the addition of two new volunteers. It’s now open on Wednesday, as well as Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The annual Children’s Fishing Derby hosted by the Warkworth Community Service Club drew a total of 226 children and their families last weekend.

The young anglers included, l-r, Gracie Matser, Devon Finley, Emma-Lee Matser, Finley Kelly and Lauren Taylor. Basil Milne, of Warkworth, was Saturday’s winner, with a 6 lb. 11 oz. catch. Lily Porter, of Cobourg, was the grand champion, hauling in an 11 lb 10 oz trout Sunday. The event was held at Ryken’s Pond, west of Morganston, owned by club member George Ryken.

most of her life. Last fall she celebrated 50 years as an organist. She started out when she was 15, playing for her father who was a minister. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His organist quit and I got conscripted, and I have been doing it ever since,â&#x20AC;? she says.

Cathy Redden was another one who got â&#x20AC;&#x153;conscriptedâ&#x20AC;?; in her case, it was to join the choir in 1970 when she moved to town to teach Grade 3.

The shows are more than fund raisers, â&#x20AC;&#x153;theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a good evening all around in the community,â&#x20AC;? and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also â&#x20AC;&#x153;upped the skill level of the choir because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always practising,â&#x20AC;? learning new pieces and styles of music, she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really kept us on our toes.â&#x20AC;?

Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no charge for children ten and under. They can be purchased in advance at Kerrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corner Books or the church, or at the door the night of the shows, which begin at 7:30 p.m.

Hobart says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of fun at rehearsals, nobody has been able to stand still while weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been singing this music.â&#x20AC;?

Rehearsals began in February and have continued every Thursday, with extra rehearsals on Sunday, for the men or the women. Guest performers include Dan Foster singing The Great Pretenderâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x153;heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just amazingâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;and Kim Dafoe, â&#x20AC;&#x153;who is just such a special performer,â&#x20AC;? who will sing Where the Boys Are and Downtown.

That warms the earth to the flowers delight On the scented breeze of a summer night While the silent moon makes its heavenly flight Or the chilly morn of an autumn day As the painted leaves are blown away.

Or a blanket of snow as it tumbles down Covering all in a silver gown.

Or a wisp of mist as it hangs in the air We cannot speak but we are there And to everyone these scenes to see Ever remember. This … to be me!

Remember you always Love you forever Love Joyce, Shelley & family

KENNEDY, Beth - Surrounded by love, Luella Elizabeth Margaret (nee Skinner) died peacefully in her Oshawa, Ontario home on April 19, after a brief, albeit intense affair with cancer. Beth was an only child, born in August, 1946 to George & Myra Skinner (nee BARTLETT) at Toronto General Hospital, Ontario. She enjoyed her childhood in Simcoe, Ontario, often spending much of that time with her many cousins in northern Ontario. After attending Alma College, St. Thomas, she went on to pursue nursing, graduating from the College of Nurses of Ontario, class of 1967. Later that year, she married a handsome Irishman, and moved to Madoc, Ontario where together they owned and operated Lingham Lake Lodge for many years, raising a family and settling locally.

After suffering a tragic, debilitating work related injury at Whitby Psychiatric Hospital, she pursued life with a new found vigor, often pushing her disabilities to the limits. Beth loved life, her family and the people around her with an intensity we can only admire. She touched the life of everyone she met in her own unique way and will be sorely missed.

She is predeceased by her husband Wayne Kennedy (1944-2004) and survived by her children Rob (Dallas), Sara (Dennis), Angy, and grandchildren Mitchell, Alex and Ayden, and six cats. She will also be lovingly remembered by countless others and everyone who knew her as ‘Mom.’ Visitation will be held at the COURTICE FUNERAL CHAPEL, 1587 Highway #2, Courtice, ON (905-432-8484), on Saturday, May 3rd 2014 from 11am - 1pm followed by a memorial service at 1pm.
