News - Stirling - It has become something of a spring ritual, spearheaded by members of the Stirling Rotary Club, for students in the community to make tracks to the Historic Grand Trunk Railway Station.

From there, they head off in all directions on a mission to comb the bushes for candy wrappers, recyclables and litter of all descriptions. This year, more than 200 students from Stirling Public School fanned out across the village to bash the trash earlier this week, ďŹ nishing the morning off with a Rotary Club-hosted barbecue.

Rotarian Caragh Lewis says conditions were ideal and the weather was perfect throughout the morning, adding there were plenty of eager students ready to scour the ditches, trails and sidewalks. With the help of Rotarians, teachers and other community volunteers, a crowd of about 250 people, including a large contingent of students, arrived at the historic train station Monday morning prepared to do a little cleaning up. “There are a lot of people involved,� she says. “It really is a community effort.�

Students arrived in a massive parade along the former railroad tracks, prepared for a little collec-

Organization makes sure school day starts with a full tummy

By Judy Backus

News - Marmora - Handcrafted floral centrepieces, one-of-a-kind placemats and descriptions of what the Breakfast Club means to students at Earl Prentice Public School, all created by the students, decorated the tables set for breakfast on May 7 to recognize the many volunteers and supporters who make the five-day-a-week program possible.

The students had written heartfelt notes as to the importance of the program, with one saying “I like bagels and I like the sandwiches. The volunteers are very helpful too.” Another indicated, “The Breakfast Club makes me very happy because it smells so good!”

One participant commented, “I do not eat breakfast at home and I am starving when I get to school.”

The program, which provides healthy and varied breakfasts to between 40 and

60 children a day, is funded through the charitable organization, Food For Learning, along with support in the form of donations in kind from organizations within the community. In addition to breakfast, snack buckets are placed in each classroom and lunch can be provided if needed.

Just before the guests made their way to the buffet style breakfast, which included a variety of fruit, yogurt, eggs, muffins, cheese, a casserole and more, Principal Heather McMaster thanked all for their participation in a program which she stressed provided a great start to the day for the students who range from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 3.

She expressed with feeling, “We so appreciate what you do for us every day,” then went on to invite all to “help yourselves and enjoy,” which they happily did.

Elinor White takes care of shopping for the program which is co-ordinated

by Janice Storms, who indicated that although there were already 12 regular volunteers, more would be welcomed.

risks to flooded areas.

“The Fire Department worked hard organizing volunteers and filling and distributing over 15,000 sand bags to residents in need. They were available day and night, checking on properties in flooded areas, providing advice and assistance as needed.”

When speaking of the Transportation and Parks Departments, Clemens said, they “monitored and reported road conditions on a daily basis. They closed roads and posted signs where required to try to keep our residents safe.”

He also thanked staff for working to keep the water and sewage facilities working properly.

He closed by saying, “Council wishes to extend our sincere, heartfelt thanks to all community volunteers and staff who have assisted in responding to the recent flooding event.”

The 2014 municipal election, coming in October, also received some attention, with Clerk Tonia Graham having circulated an extensive package, which was received for information and provides detailed

materials for prospective candidates.

The package is available both at the municipal office and on their web site.

Another point of interest relating to the election, was mention of a web-based application, <www.voterlookup.ca>, provided by MPAC, (Municipal Property Assessment Corporation) which allows users to both confirm and update existing information.

Last autumn, the sale of the 20 Matthew Street, the former works garage, was put out for tender. At that point none was received, and the building was again offered for tender in April. Three offers were subsequently received, the highest being $40,000 plus HST, coming from Michelle Clarkson. Council voted to receive the offer, with CAO Ron Chittick saying that the survey would soon be finalized, his hope being the sale would close as soon as possible.

The tender for landfill scales closed on April 30, with four bids having been received. In his written report, Environmental Services Manager, Victor Reid, recommended the contract be awarded to the low bidder, Rose Scale of Foxboro, at a cost of $47,775 excluding

Volunteers and supporters of Earl Prentice Public School’s Breakfast Club themselves enjoyed a morning meal on May 7. On leaving, each was invited to take home a beautiful carnation in recognition of their involvement. Among the guests were, from the left: George Thomson; his wife, Liz Churcher, a former principal at the school; current principal Heather McMaster; Lee Anne Kerr; Gail Trenear; program co-ordinator Janice Storms; Anne Airhart; June Vilneff representing the Saint Andrew’s United Church Women, Sheila Drain, and Vance Drain, of Drain Poultry who supply the program with eggs.

Former township garage has a new owner

News - Marmora - The May 6 council meeting began with a report from Reeve Terry Clemens who, with regard to the closure of Cameron Street, stressed that it had nothing to do with the municipality or with the recent flooding, but with traffic control for the Highway #7 bridge construction. He said the same of a time on April 29 when a number of police cars, with lights flashing, were in the area regarding the installation of traffic lights on the bridge.

The recent flooding and efforts relating to it, prompted the reeve to extend a thank-you on behalf of council and staff, to all the volunteers who helped out during a bad situation. He noted that friends and neighbours had worked tirelessly to help one another during a desperate time, saying, “I know this will never be forgotten.” He continued, saying that Marmora and Lake “considers the recent flooding a very serious situation.

There were many actions taken by all municipal departments to mitigate the

HST. He further recommended, and council agreed, that additional expenditures would include “$2,500 for electrical service to the attendant’s shed, and $1,500 for a computer and laser printer.”

The plan is to have the scales in place and working by mid-summer.

All are looking forward to the ribbon cutting for the Nayler’s Common Wetlands and Trails scheduled for June 7, with Deputy-reeve Rita Cimprich saying there would be music provided by the students of all three schools, many of whom have also participated in the related poster contest. She went on to say that the volunteers and schools had provided wonderful support adding, “Hopefully, because of this, we will have a group of kids growing up who are very environmentally aware …”

The meeting moved ahead with a motion to support the county in its efforts to petition the Ministry of Transportation to permit “side-by-side off road vehicles, four

Rita Cimprich, who sits on the Environmental Advisory Committee, provided an update on the recent tree giveaway, saying it had been an “overwhelming success,” with close to 900 trees being given away and only 20 remaining at the end of the two-hour event. These will be planted within the municipality. Cimprich also expressed thanks for the more than $100 received in donations during the giveaway, funds she said would be targeted toward EAC projects.

News - Marmora - The library at Sacred Heart School was transformed on May 7 in order to accommodate the annual volunteer tea held in honour of the many who help out at the school in so many ways. In addition to a relaxing cup of tea, guests were treated to a piece of cake and enjoyed background guitar and piano music provided by students of music teacher Rob Matthews.

Volunteers at the school assist on a regular basis with school activities, class trips, breakfast club, reading with children, and such special events as Carnaval and play day.

Principal Stephen Tracze welcomed all saying, “The success of the school is because it is a community … a truly amazing environment … We are always striving to be better and achieve excellence with our kids.”

Dogs just want to run ...

By Diane Sherman

News - Madoc - The move to develop an off-leash dog park in Madoc is moving forward with a fundraising campaign, volunteer recruitment and membership drive.

Three acres of land at Seymour and Burnside Streets has been allotted for the park.

The Municipality of Centre Hastings has sanctioned the park under the department of Parks Recreation and Culture and set out guidelines for development and management.

It is now up to the public to support the project through their own individual investments of time and labour, or money, materials and membership.

Estimated cost to complete the fencing, install a shelter and benches, post signage, and prepare a parking area, comes in at $11,000.

Currently, the eight member executive, made up of Krista McConnell, Diane DeJong, Mare Bush, Rob Price, Sheila Edwards, Ed Fillion, Joanne Bird and Crystal Tough, have planned to promote the park at various events within the Village of Madoc

tive community service. On arrival, students were divided into groups, rubber gloves and bags were distributed among them and group leaders were given their marching orders.

For many, the rubber gloves provided ample entertainment as balloons while awaiting their departure to a designated part of the village.

Throughout the morning the cleanup continued, with bags of recyclables kept separate from other waste, and then the crews returned to the station for a barbecue. Steve and Rhonda Runnalls of Foodland donated the burgers and buns while Rona provided the plastic bag and Home Hardware supplied the gloves. Oak Volunteer Tina Koonings prepares her young charges for a morning of garbage Hills Water was also provided for the collecting. About 250 students from Stirling Public School took to the streets on thirsty workers. a sunny Monday morning.

from now until September.

They will be at ďŹ ve Classic Cruise Nights this season, May 17 at the Kiwanis Club yard sale, and plan to have a walk-a-thon for pet day at the market square June 14.

A barbeque is planned at Madoc Foodland July 5, and they expect to be present at both the annual RibFest and Madoc Agricultural Fair.

Fund-raising director, Sheila Edwards has devised two major methods of soliciting community funds; the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Help Build the Fenceâ&#x20AC;? campaign, wherein one can purchase a section of fence and have their name/s marked on the section, or, the sponsorship program for businesses making larger contributions through a Gold, Silver and Bronze sponsorship.

Gold and Silver sponsors have the opportunity to advertise their business signage on the fence.

Each sponsor will be recognized on a sponsorship board at the entrance to the park.

Planning and maintenance director, Ed Fillion is hoping a few more able-bodied volunteers come forward to help build

noted, for councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consideration, that these goals have been met, and now the ofďŹ ce (SWP) has taken on additional staff, and is still asking for funds to fulďŹ ll their goals, which he reiterated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;have been metâ&#x20AC;? according to the original agreement.

Unfortunately, quotes for repairs of St. Lawrence Street, west of Hill Street to the Highway 7 easement, came in over the allotted budget.

Council arranged a road tour for last Friday to review the situation, and determine priority repairs, to see if they could bring costs down.

As a preventative measure to halt further deterioration of St. Lawrence and Atkinson Streets, council took afďŹ rmative action in passing a motion to create a bylaw placing restrictions on unnecessary heavy vehicles using that route for convenience.

Roads Superintendent Larry Wood said there are six culverts needing replacement that should be worked on immediately.

A culvert on Hazzards Road had to be replaced after it collapsed during the spring ďŹ&#x201A;ood.

He reported nine roads closed because of ďŹ&#x201A;ooding with all reopened by April 17. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a big problem with garbage being left along roads,â&#x20AC;? Wood said. He asked council, â&#x20AC;&#x153;How much time and money should be put toward this problem?â&#x20AC;?

He said Rapids Road seems to be a favourite spot for dumping all sorts of things. His crew found a washing machine and other large appliances there, besides regular garbage bags and items.

Councillor Loyde Blackburn reminded council that Quinte Conservation land abuts both sides of Rapids Road and perhaps they should be notiďŹ ed.

Council noted the garbage must be picked up and unless the culprits can be identiďŹ ed there is nothing else that can be done.

A resolution to contest further ďŹ nancial contributions to Quinte Conservation for the source water protection project will be sent out to other partnering municipalities to gain support for their opposition to continued ďŹ nancing.

the fence. To date he and Rob DeJong have been setting the posts using DeJongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equipment from West Highland golf course. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Building the fence is the ďŹ rst step, and though we are getting the best price for cedar posts and rails from Empey Lumber, each ten foot of fencing costs approximately $60.â&#x20AC;?

Flowers for Madoc

By Diane Sherman

Lifestyles - Madoc - Once again the Village of Madoc will be blooming with colour thanks to students and staff of the greenhouse project at Centre Hastings Secondary School.

Students of the Practical Learning Program under the guidance of Master Gardener, volunteer Steve Airhart, with educational assistant Kristin Potts and science teacher Martin Caufield, nurture the plants in the school greenhouse and arrange them in large wooden bins made in the carpentry class at the school.

These are the planters which visitors and shoppers will see

in the village core.

Each year before Mother’s Day, the greenhouse opens to the public for a sale of garden plants, flowers, herbs, vegetables, and numerous standing and potted arrangements.

Special orders are also taken to prepare displays, hanging baskets or specific designs for residents and stores, such as the one customers will see at the Amazing Coffee shop in Madoc this season.

Last year the Village of Madoc was given special recognition in the Canadian magazine of Canada Blooms for their endeavours.

Thursday and Friday of last week gardeners picked up flats

of annuals and perennials at very reasonable prices.

Proceeds from sales are used to finance special activities and excursions for students of the PLP and Life Skills program.

Large planter boxes of colourful plants created by students at CHSS will adorn the streets in the Village of Madoc again this year. Logan Bentley, Dennis Hind, Travis Houston, Jennifer Ribble and Russel Dillabough were some of the students working on the project. Photo: Diane Sherman

News - Madoc - Arts Centre Hastings was built in 2008 on the site of the old ball diamond at Centre Hastings park, Durham Street south in Madoc.

It was to be a gathering place for arts and entertainment, meetings and special events, while providing a moderate revenue for the municipality, but it is sweltering hot inside throughout the summer, which has become a deterrent for potential renters.

Retired teacher Carman Donato, who was a primary catalyst to restructuring the park, with first the skate pad and canteen, then the arts centre and the splash pad, came before Centre Hastings council April 30 to ask for $6,400 to install a cooling unit into the geo-thermal heating system at the Arts Centre.

He told council the issue has been discussed for the past five years.

“We found out two years after completion of the centre that the cooling

unit was not included in the geo-thermal system and each summer the heat inside the building is intolerable.”

Donato stated that at the time of construction it was understood the building would be both heated and cooled by the solar powered geo-thermal unit, but for some reason the cooling component was not included.

Construction of the Ecofriendly, straw bale, building was taken on by Flemming College Sustainable Building students under direction of course instructor Chris Magwood, a resident of Madoc Township.

Magwood has continued to excel in sustainable building as executive director of the Endeavour Centre of Peterborough. He was not available to comment prior to press time.

Donato said he is not sure why the cooling unit was not installed but hopes council will recognize the value and potential of this “relatively small” investment into the

building.

Deputy-mayor Tom Simpson suggested putting in a window style air conditioner for this year, which Donato thought was a poor solution.

He suggested the Parks and Recreation committee turn to the community for assistance with a fund-raising drive.

Councillor Shelby KrampNeuman noted, though the capital budget would not allow using that amount, “If we put it under the operational budget sector we could do it.”

Donato said this issue has been deferred twice all ready. He said the Arts Centre could “generate far more revenue with the cooling unit installed.”

“All other buildings belonging to the municipality are air conditioned, why can’t we have this one taken care of?” he pleaded. “We have a prime attraction here, a great building, that people want to use. We need to find a way to do this.”

Light turnout for disaster relief meeting News - Tweed - About 30 Tweed residents who have suffered losses and damage in recent flooding came out to a public meeting on May 8 at Tweed Elementary School to find out about possible financial relief. After a brief introduction by Mayor Jo-Ann Albert, who expressed her heart-felt sympathies to those affected, Jon King, a municipal advisor for the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, explained the “ins and outs” of the Ontario Disaster Relief Assistance Program (ODRAP).

ODRAP procedures seem fairly straightforward. There is a public and a private component to funding. The program is intended only for natural disasters and designed to replace only essential items, the “necessities of life.” ODRAP is not a substitute for insurance or intended as a full cost recovery system. It is meant “to get communities back on their feet” said Mr. King.

One of the first questions asked of Mr. King was what will be the affect of a looming provincial election on the province’s ability to give

timely aid? Mr. King noted that under the Provincial Election Act, Ministers are granted certain emergency “caretaker” powers and it is up to the Minister to decide if he or she should exercise these powers.

Explaining the public component of the program, Mr. King said municipalities may receive up to 100 per cent of eligible costs for emergency response, cleanup and restoration. As is the case with private claimants, municipalities must first look to their own insurance policies for aid and provide damage estimates supported by photos, reports and other documentation.

Private relief applicants may receive a maximum of 90 per cent of eligible costs.

The process is open to private homeowners, farmers, small businesses and non-profit organizations. Examples of the kinds of necessities eligible for replacement are freezers, stoves, beds and clothing.

Only residences occupied year round are eligible for aid. With seasonal homes, the owners “still have a house to go back to” Mr. King observed.

To initiate the ODRAP process, a municipality must pass

a resolution asking the minister to declare it a disaster area and submit preliminary estimates of damage. The next step is to appoint a five-member committee to assess damage and fund raise. Fund-raising efforts need not be limited to the local area but could extend across the province. ODRAP responds by contributing $2 for every dollar raised. People impacted by flooding cannot sit on this committee because of possible conflicts of interest, and the committee’s decisions on disbursement of aid are final.

Following Mr. King’s talk, Jessica Carneiro, a public health inspector with the Hastings and Prince Edward Health Unit discussed the health risks associated with flooding and made available a number of pamphlets on mould, drinking water and wells and septic systems. She advised people to make us of the services of Samaritan’s Purse, a Christian disaster aid group helping out locally.

The final speaker was a regional representative of Calgary-based Samaritan’s Purse, Stephen Elliott, who noted that their CEO is Frankie Graham, son of famed evangelist

Billy Graham. Samaritan’s Purse was started in 2006 and is an ecumenical organization now active in over 100 countries. They focus their relief efforts on homeowners, not renters, because in the latter case the landlord is responsible, and on people who are ill, elderly, handicapped or single parents. “We send in a crew of ten people and carry everything out, drywall, flooring, furniture, and then power wash every surface and apply mould inhibitor.” The process usually takes about three days Mr. Elliott reported. He added “my regret is that we weren’t here sooner. Homeowners were saying ‘you missed us by about a week’. We have the tools and can help Tweed and the outlying areas.” Mr. King noted that Campbellford is still under flood alert and their help may be needed there.

Attending a public meeting of people who have experienced serious losses might make any elected official nervous about facing possible anger and recriminations. In the actual event, Mayor Jo-Anne Stephen Elliot, regional representative for Samaritan’s Purse, a Christian disaster relief organization Albert was given a spontane- based in Calgary, explains his group’s work and the kinds of aid they provide. ous round of applause at the end of the meeting.

News - Tweed - Mayor Jo-Anne Albert, representatives of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 428, school board officials and cadets were joined by members of the public on May 10 in the library of Tweed Elementary School for the second rededication of the Memorial Window in its new location.

The ceremony was held on the National Day of honour, dedicated to Canadian Armed Forces, and introduced by Legion President Heather Atkins.

The Memorial Window, purchased to commemorate Tweed’s sacrifices in World War I, depicts a Canadian soldier from the era in its centre pane flanked by the names of the 12 local men who did not return from the war. An information sheet notes: “A fine stained glass window, made by the Robert McCausland company of Toronto was installed in the main hall of the Tweed High School. It honours the soldiers of the Tweed area who fell in the First Great War. The Window was dedicated

by Rev. Bruce Taylor, principal of Queen’s University on December 18, 1921.”

When the high school was demolished the window was restored, reinstalled in the library of the Tweed-Hungerford Senior School and re-dedicated by the Reverend Ian Munroe of Tweed on November 11, 1976.

Evan Morton, curator of the Tweed Heritage Centre, spoke about the window’s

history, observing that as a youngster at Tweed High School he barely noticed it and did not fully appreciate its importance.

“We saw the window but it meant little to us. We hadn’t been taught the history of it.”

He added “we almost lost the window when the high school was torn down and we learned our lesson. It’s now our responsibility to know and appreciate the history of the window and tell others.”

Mr. Morton noted that the Toronto company which built the window is still in business.

He also reported that original dedication of the window was attended by Brigadier General A. E. Ross.

Mayor Jo-Anne Albert recalled spending 25 years teaching in Tweed and first seeing the window 40 years ago. “It’s a beautiful addition to the S. H. Connor Learning Common,” she said.

The window was rededicated with a 1921 prayer by the Reverend Brian Webber, followed by the laying of a wreath by Pete Idzenga, a member of 1 CAV (Canadian Army Vets) Cassino Unit and cadets Wilson and Downer of the 385 Madoc Army Cadet Corps. Dignitaries from the Hastings and Prince Edward Counties School Board present included trustee Thelma Goodfellow, Director of Education Mandy Savery-Whiteway, Cassandra Bellwood, vice principal at Tweed Elementary, Cathy Port, Superintendent and Leslie Miller, Superintendent.

Cancer Society wraps up a successful campaign News - Marmora - Volunteers with the local branch of the Canadian Cancer Society gathered at the William Shannon Room for afternoon tea on May 10 to wrap up the campaign and to recognize several members.

Also present was Heather Gray, the director of Ontario Eastern Region, and speaker for the afternoon, who was introduced by President Barb McCaw. Gray spoke of the current services available through the Society, mentioning in particular transportation

for patients, the cancer information service, peer support, the web site and an on-line chat. The main topic of her talk was the progress made in cancer related research, with Gray saying that in 1960 there was a 28 per cent survival rate. Through ongoing and diversified research relating to the 200 identified forms of cancer, that figure now sits at 60 per cent. Survival rates related to children diagnosed with the disease are currently 81 per cent.

Gray told the group the Canadian Cancer Society cur-

rently supports three types of research grants, those being the Impact Grant, the Innovation Grant and Quality of Life grant, in addition to a focus on the deadliest forms of cancer: brain, esophageal, pancreatic, ovarian and lung.

In addressing the group, Gray suggested, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would say if you look around the table and look at the people in this room quite a few of them would not be here without that research. Thank you for what you are doing, we really do appreciate it and it is helpingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it is making a difference.â&#x20AC;?

Awards for 20 years of service with the branch were then presented to Joe MacCauley, Deanna MacCauley and Sharon T. Davidson, with special recognition going to retiring member, Jennie Killian who has contributed more than 31 years of service, in a number of capacities, among them canvasser, team captain, treasurer, and assisting with the Taking Steps Against Breast Cancer

OPINION Connected to your community Welcome to the Anthropocene

Editorial - There is no doubt that human beings are the dominant species on Earth. The seven billion of us account for about one-third of the total body mass of large animals on the planet, with our domestic animals accounting for most of the rest. (Wild animals only amount to 3 to 5 percent.) But are we really central to the scheme of things?

That is a different question.

Almost all the scientific discovGwynne Dyer eries of the past few centuries have moved human beings away from the centre of things towards the periphery. In the 16th century we learned that Earth went around the sun, not the other way round.

Then we realised that the sun was just one more yellow star among a hundred billion others “far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy,” as Douglas Adams put it. And this is just one galaxy among hundreds of billions.

Then the geologists learned that our planet is four and a half billion years old, whereas we primates have only been around for the past seven million years, and modern human being for a mere 100,000 years. And so on and so forth, until we felt very small and insignificant. But now the story is heading back in the other direction; they’re going to name an entire geological epoch after us. The Anthropocene.

Don’t get too excited: an epoch is not that big a deal in geology. Just as there is an ascending hierarchy of days, weeks, months and years in present time, there is a hierarchy of epochs, periods, eras and aeons in geological time.

Until recently, everybody agreed that we live in the Holocene epoch of the Quaternary period, which in turn is part of the 65-million-year old Cenozoic era, the most recent phase of the 540-million-year Phanerozoic aeon.

Holocene means “entirely recent”, and is reckoned to have begun at the end of the last major glaciation less than 12,000 years ago. That’s not a very long time even for a mere epoch – but geologists are now considering the possibility that we have already entered a different epoch, the Anthropocene (from the Greek roots for “man” and “recent”). That is, an epoch defined by the impact of human beings on the entire planetary environment.

Geologists want to see evidence in the rocks before they define an epoch, and it’s early days for that yet, but it’s

clear that the fossil records for the present time will show a massive loss of forests, a very high rate of extinctions, and a preponderance of fossils of only a few species: us and our domesticated animals.

The acidification of the oceans is destroying the coral reefs, which will produce a “reef gap” similar to the ones that marked the five great extinctions of the past. The changes in the atmosphere caused by the burning of massive amounts of fossil fuels – coal, oil and gas – will show up in the form of rising sea levels due to warming, and in the decline of carbonate rocks like limestone and chalk in the deep-ocean sediments.

If this is really a new epoch, then geologists (human or otherwise) millions of years from now should be able to work out what happened just from the rocks, without any direct knowledge of the past. However, if the current global civilisation collapses as a result of these changes, they will have only a very thin band of rock to work with.

The idea of declaring the Anthropocene as a new epoch is being taken seriously by geologists: the International Union of Geological Sciences has set up a working group of the International Commission on Stratigraphy to report by 2016 on whether the Holocene must give way to the Anthropocene.

The real purpose of declaring the Anthropocene period is to focus human attention on the scale of our impacts on the planetary environment. As biologist E.O. Wilson wrote: “The pattern of human population growth in the twentieth century was more bacterial than primate.” He calculated that human biomass is already a hundred times larger than that of any other large animal species present or past except for our own domesticated animals.

That phase of runaway population growth is over now, but the global rise in living standards is having further environmental impacts of the same order. Climate change is the headline threat, but the loss of biodiversity, ozone depletion, ocean acidification and half a dozen other negative trends are also driven by our numbers and our lifestyle.

Being responsible for keeping so many interlocking systems within their permissible limits may be more than our civilisation can manage, but it’s already too late to reject that job. All we can do now is try to stay within the planetary boundaries (which in some cases requires discovering exactly where they are), and restore as many natural systems as we can. The odds are not in our favour.

NEWS BRIEF Brighton man loses money in credit card scam News - Brighton - A local resident has been defrauded of $7,384 over the phone.

Northumberland OPP said the 61-year-old man was called on two occasions, May 1 and May 8, and in each instance U.S. funds were taken from his credit card, $595 the first time and $6,779 on the second occasion.

The man told police the caller already possessed personal information about him and said they were calling from Visa.

Police said it was not known when they issued the news release how the caller had received the victim’s personal information.

An 80-year-old woman in Cramahe Township narrowly escaped being defrauded. She reported to the OPP May 8 she also had received a phone call from a person claiming to be from Visa who asked about for information about her credit card. She declined at first and the caller, who had become aggressive, transferred her to a “supervisor” who the woman

said “bullied” her into giving the information, police said.

The woman contacted her bank and was told the call had been fraudulent and it cancelled her cards immediately. “She was not out any funds as a result,” police said.

The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre was contacted in both incidents and the two investigations are continuing.

The OPP reminds people not to give out any personal information over the phone. Banks already possess that information, which was obtained at the time the account was opened, which is usually done in person and require a signature.

If you are unsure about a caller, hang up, police said. “You are not obligated to provide anything [in response] to an unsolicited call.”

Upon review, video review is good … just not in baseball

By Stephen Petrick Editorial - I’m a big fan of Major League Baseball but there’s been a recent change in the game that I’m not happy with. This is the first season the Big Leagues are going with video review, meaning that now, after a close call, a manager can request an umpire review replays and change the call if necessary. It’s the worst thing to happen to the game since Barry Bonds met BALCO. Now, baseball is actually civilized. There’s no more cap tipping, mouth spitting, yelling between managers and umpires. No more kicks of the dirt, tossing of bats and bases, and overly dramatic tilts of the arm to the cry of, “You are outta here.” Manager-umpire dust ups were once the most entertaining part of the casual game.

But I suppose I can’t blame MLB. Doesn’t every organization have to take advantage of technology of the day? In fact, maybe more organizations should integrate video review into their workplaces. After all, isn’t the opportunity to review video and audio recordings the reason Rob Ford is finally in rehab and why the LA Clippers will soon have a better owner. Police have been using videos to solve crimes for years. Maybe every facet of our society should have video review available to solve its whodunits and pressing concerns.

For instance, if every business office had video cameras in it, there would be no puzzling over which schmuck took more than his fair share of Timbits left on the community table. The boss could just review the tape and see who freeloaded the most, then address him with a furrowed brow.

“Okay Steve,” he’d say (I use Steve because that’s the name of the guy who takes the most Timbits around here). “You pull that again and you’ll be demoted to the photocopy room so fast your head will spin.”

But video reviews don’t always have to lead to the threat of ejection. Sometimes they can confirm the right call was made all along.

Picture a pin-stripe shirted principal being called to a high school classroom on allegations that some punk cheated on his algebra test.

“We had a challenge on the field to review Johnny’s math score,”

the guy might say. “After reviewing the tape, we realize that, yes, he was looking over the shoulder and stealing answers. But he was taking answers from old held-back-a-year Hal. He really succeeded in spite of his cheating. The C+ stands.”

And instant replay could make a world of difference in the dating world. Picture a woman writing to a man following a night out.

“Thanks for the dinner Bill but after reviewing the date on video, I realize you’re just not what I’m looking for in a long-term relationship.

“Granted, after watching the tape ten times I finally got your icebreaker joke. (You said, if I didn’t split the lobster that would be awfully shellfish of me.) But I still find that sweater you wore ugly and the overhead cameras caught that growing bald spot. I also confirmed you talked about your mother and ex-girlfriend one too many times.”

Video review would also revolutionize married life. I, for one, would no longer be able to lie to my wife about how I vacuumed the house while she was out. “I reviewed the tape, Steve, and you watched Seinfeld re-runs all day,” she would say. “One more strike against you and you’re gone.”

Like in baseball, the advent of video review will sometimes work for and sometimes against you. But it will at least ensure the right call is always made.

And in the spirit of reviewing, I’ve just reviewed this column and realize it wasn’t as funny as I thought it would be. The Barry Bonds reference wasn’t explained, the LA Clippers reference was too obscure for a Canadian audience and bringing my wife into it was really unfair. She doesn’t like that.

I can hear both the boss and my wife approaching. They’re tilting their arms in the air getting ready to say, “That’s it Steve. You are outta here.”

Gateway CHC Youth Jazz Ensemble shines

By Brett Mann

Entertainment - Actinolite - A highlight of this year’s Alberta Young Memorial Jamboree at the Marble Arts Centre in Actinolite was a performance by the Gateway Community Health Centre Youth Jazz Ensemble. The ensemble performed five pieces of music at the event which also featured the Young family with brothers Jeff and Brad, bassist Cathy Whalen and on mandolin and violin, Josh Barie. Music by Gord Stickwood and Al Luby rounded out the evening.

Blair Yarranton, a Centennial Secondary School (Belleville) music teacher is musical director of the Gateway Youth Jazz Ensemble.

“This is our fourth year and my third year,” he reports. “These students range from Grade Five to Grade Eight and all of them with the exception of only a few are starting from scratch on their instruments. A large proportion of them are starting from the beginning. We have to teach them how to play their instruments first before they can play any real repertoire. Then we get into learning some basic songs. We try to learn jazz music with the opportunity for improvisation. That’s the key to jazz, giving them the opportunity to improvise. It sets jazz apart from other types of music. All the students tonight will have the opportunity to play one solo.”

The ensemble is currently composed of 16 students, Mr. Yarranton notes.

Questioned about the types of musical material the group was attempting, Mr. Yarranton said, “The published music is actually too difficult for students this age.

We play some Duke Ellington. I taught them how to play C Jam Blues. The mel-

ody is only two notes. The books we purchased are not standard jazz repertoire books, but they’re written by musicians for this age group. They have fun names like Hog’s Breath Cafe and Tyrannosaurus Charlie. They’re based on jazz chord progressions but with easier melodies to make it a little more accessible for the kids.”

As students graduate to high school they leave the ensemble, so at any given time about half the young musicians are in their first year and others are returning.

Mr. Yarranton explained the connection with the Alberta Young Jamboree.

“We’ve done it every year. We always aim to have this one in May happen. This is the fourth year we’ve done it and we really appreciate the Young family, especially Jeff and the work they put into this.

When their mother passed away she had some money set aside to be invested into music, obviously music being a large part of their family.”

I don’t live on a farm!

Can I still join 4-H?

Yes, you can! There are many different projects that 4-H members can take during their 4-H

career, including food, craft, the outdoors, environment, sports, machinery, crops and livestock projects. Many 4-H club leaders will help you to find a project animal if you enroll in a livestock project but don’t have your own livestock – and some clubs even offer livestock clubs without the livestock!

and focus on how their actions affect their relationships, their community, the environment and society as a whole.

This belief is reflected in the 4-H pledge, said at the beginning of every 4-H meeting and event. The 4-H pledge encourages a balanced lifestyle (intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual), and reminds participants to aim to be a good friend, mentor, community member and citizen.

4-H is based on a “Learn to do by Doing” philosophy.

Members aged 9-21 and volunteer leaders come together to create a 4-H club, where members learn about a selected topic through hands on activities and 4-H is such a flexible program! Both mentorship. volunteers and members can learn about In the Cloverbud program, participants aged all kinds of different topics in any setting at 6-8 work with volunteer leaders on a variety any time. Skill building, critical thinking of unit’s oven a full year. and empowerment are what make all 4-H The Hastings County 4-H Association programs excellent experiences. is looking for volunteers who live in the 4-H is a grassroots organization of leaders Thurlow, Belleville, and Madoc and Tweed building leaders.

Touring the trails north of town

By Judy Backus

News - Marmora - A bright and relatively warm May 10 saw crowds of ATV enthusiasts arrive amid the roar of well-tuned engines at the Marmora and Area Curling Club for a day on the trails when they participated in a poker run held to raise funds for the club. Registration, at a cost of $20 a hand, took place on what just a few weeks ago was the curlersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ice surface.

The complete trip of approximately 45 kilometres through the spring countryside, wound its way from the fairgrounds to Station Road, then north along the Heritage Trail to Zion Church. From there, the riders headed to Shannick Road and north again to Gulf Bridge, south past Jeanna Black, her six-year-old grandson Gavin, and Tim Loveless along with Irene and Rob Harding, the Bertrand farm to Beaver Creek Road, were among the first to head out on the trails during the Marmora Curling Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very successful ATV east to the cheese factory and eventually poker run held on May 10. Black went on to win with her poker hand comprised of five diamonds. back to the Heritage Trail.

Stops along the way provided the riders with their poker hands, with two lucky participants receiving jokers which entitled them to their choice of items from the prize table which featured a number of donated items. The rider with the best poker hand at the end of the run, who happened to be Irene Harding with ďŹ ve diamonds, went home with a prize of $250.

Club President Paul Speight later referred to what had been a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fabulous day at the Marmora and Area Curling Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst annual ATV Poker Run.â&#x20AC;? He went on to say that in addition to the 75 bikes and 93 poker hands, there had been â&#x20AC;&#x153;lots of mud and black ďŹ&#x201A;ies.â&#x20AC;?

A table laden with gifts supplied by local businesses which supported the event, resulted in a more than a dozen lucky people winning prizes. Speight

indicated the next day, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We welcomed bikes from Oshawa, Bowmanville, Picton, Port Perry, Napanee and Kingston as well as our local riders. There were ďŹ rst timers as well as poker run veterans who tackled the 45-kilometre course with four checkpoints north of Marmora. The last checkpoint at the club welcomed returning riders with a complimentary barbecue and refreshments all round.

All said they had a great time and would return. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank-you to everyone who helped make this a great event, with a special thanks to Tim Black who organized and co-ordinated the great group of volunteers without whom we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have got out of the gate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are already planning the next one to make it bigger and better. Get ready.

See you next time.â&#x20AC;?

Marmora man fined for illegal deer hunting

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market time again

News - A Marmora resident was ďŹ ned $1,700 for offences under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act. Dale Matthew Reynolds pleaded guilty to discharging a ďŹ rearm from a right of way, trespassing to hunt, and failing to immediately attach a seal to big game while party hunting. He was ďŹ ned and his hunting licences were suspended for one year.

The court heard that on November 8, 2013, during the open gun season, Reynolds shot a deer on Jones Road in the Marmora area. He was hunting Mary Andrews and Jim McGill, both of Madoc, are long-time vendors at the Marmora Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; market, having participated on private property without permission to hunt. since it began several years ago. Both were on hand for the first market of the current season held May 10, where Andrews had Reynolds claimed he had afďŹ xed his seal to the

deer, but still had the game seal in his possession when checked by conservation ofďŹ cers.

Justice of the Peace Jack Chiang heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice, Belleville, Ontario on April 15, 2014.

The public is reminded that it is illegal to possess or discharge a ďŹ rearm on many southern Ontario roads. It is also unlawful to enter private property without the permission of the landowner.

News - Marmora - Although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit early in the season for local produce, a group of seven vendors selling a wide array of handcrafted items and other goodies, arrived at Memorial Park on the morning of May 10 for the ďŹ rst Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market of the year. Every Saturday, between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m., from now until Thanksgiving weekend, the market, which attracts a large number of participants and crowds of shoppers, will

offer a variety of homegrown veggies and fruits along with a selection of delectable baked goods and beautifully made crafts.

There is no cost to set up a booth at the market, where vendors supply their own tables, with a limited number of tents available for rent at $20 each. To date, nearly 20 have signed up as weekly participants for the coming season, with that number likely to grow.

Keen interest in new plants for 2014

News - Tweed - A presentation on new plants available to gardeners this year was delivered to a packed house of over 50 people at the May meeting of the Tweed Horticultural Society. The guest speaker was Marjorie Mason from Mason House Gardens (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Really Cool Plantsâ&#x20AC;?) near Uxbridge.

Ms. Masonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments were accompanied by samples of flowers, succulents and grasses, available for sale, brought from Mason House Gardens, now operated by Ms. Masonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son. Ms. Mason revealed a Tweed connection in relating how her grandmotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family immigrated from the Isle of Wight in England to Tweed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is where my mother used to come when she was a girl to visit her grandparents.â&#x20AC;? Having visited the Isle of Wight recently, Mason remarked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m coming back home.â&#x20AC;?

The exotic beauty of the new cultivars of flowers was matched by the creativity of their names.

Glamoflage grape petunia, Oxalis Plum Crazy, coleus in shades of electric coral, gold anemone, lime shrimp and king crab followed one another in a dazzling slide show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trends in horticulture are very much more concerned with foliage these days,â&#x20AC;? observed Ms. Mason, noting that most of the plants on display â&#x20AC;&#x153;donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like much nowâ&#x20AC;? but will become much larger.

Edible species of decorative plants are also of interest to Ms. Mason who maintains a roof top garden at the Royal York hotel in Toronto. Sweet potato vines have become popular, Mason report-

ed, and breeders have developed cultivars with interesting foliage. She notes that chefs in Toronto are using daliah tubers in place of water chestnuts. A variety of salvia called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wendyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wishâ&#x20AC;? attracts hummingbirds and when the foliage is rubbed, smells like pineapple and can be added to fruit salads. Ms. Mason raised an alarm flag about impatiens and cautioned â&#x20AC;&#x153;no one should be growing it.â&#x20AC;? Impatiens has been affected recently by a disease called â&#x20AC;&#x153;impatiens downy mildewâ&#x20AC;? and the only remedy is for everyone to stop growing it for a while. Another tip that Ms. Mason stressed was that many container plants â&#x20AC;&#x153;can grow beautifully in the garden as well.â&#x20AC;? Ms. Mason writes on gardening for several magazines and hosts a Saturday morning radio show on Oshawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CKDO station.

The program can also be accessed on line.

Joan Morton is president of the Tweed and District Horticulture Society which currently has â&#x20AC;&#x153;at least 60â&#x20AC;? members but expects numbers to grow as the gardening season progresses. Most members are interested in vegetable gardening for the table as well as for decorative and landscaping purposes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all share ideas,â&#x20AC;? says Ms. Morton, and adds that the Tweed society recently won the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sowing Seedsâ&#x20AC;? award from the Ontario Horticultural Association for their work with youngsters. An example is the workshop on making scarecrows that the society will be offering for kids at the Tweed Library on Friday, May 23. Ms. Morton is particularly enthusiastic about the societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s project at this

the Tweed Horticultural Society offers, says Ms. Morton is the opportunity to seek hands-on advice on specific gardening questions from knowledgeable people.

Central Hastings News - Thursday, May 15, 2014 15

News - Marmora - With the weather warming up, local tourism operators are preparing for another HOT summer in Hastings County.

County and municipal officials, along with area businesspeople, celebrated the launch of the 2014 tourism season last week under the Hastings County Opportunities in Tourism (HOT) banner, touting the varied attractions that draw visitors from near and far. Hosted at Bunkers Hideaway last Thursday night and emceed by Dug Stevenson, the gathering saw Warden Rick Phillips and MP Daryl Kramp among those praising local entrepreneurs for their efforts to bring business and tourist traffic to the area. And the importance of tourism in Hastings County cannot be understated, Kramp says. Unlike areas with a strong industrial base, he explains, Hastings County is defined by its small businesses and those in the hospitality sector in particular, he adds, are well aware of the area’s many assets and attractions. Several of those businesses were recognized for their work in recent years.

Tourism Development Co-ordinator Kasey Pollard announced the HOT Spots Competition winners, which included 50 attractions from 14 different parts of the county, and wrapped up the evening, which included live entertainment, food and refreshments, with the handing out of door prizes.

Pollard also showed off the Hastings

County Tourism Guide 2014/2015 that features 26 colourful pages of attractions and information as well as maps and contact details for various organizations and businesses.

Winners of the HOT Spots competition were: Bancroft - The Art Gallery of Bancroft, Bancroft Eatery and Brew Pub, Bancroft Village Playhouse, Eagles Nest, The Granite, The Old Tin Shed and West Wind Gallery and Gifts. Carlow/Mayo - Dreamer’s Rock Bed and Breakfast and The Pinecone Forest Nature Sanctuary. Centre Hastings - Amazing Coffee, Barley Pub and Eatery, Hidden Goldmine Bakery and Madoc Market Vendors Association.

Workshop offers insight into meat sale rules

By Richard Turtle

News - Spring Brook - Local farmers had a chance to learn more about selling their products, as well as their own responsibilities in the marketplace, when a Harvest Hastings-organized workshop last week focused on the regulations around the preparation, packaging, transport and labeling of meat and poultry.

About 20 people attended the workshop at the Spring Brook municipal building last Friday afternoon, with information provided by presenters including Hastings and Prince Edward County Senior Public Health Inspector John Cannan and provincial food inspection branch Area Manager Pierre Adrien from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA).

The regulations can be complicated, attendees to the workshop heard, as there are rules that fall under the jurisdiction of all three levels of government with, for example, different labeling requirements for each. But what it all comes down to, Cannan says, is ensuring a safe and predictable consumer product.

“We’re the eyes and ears for the public,” explained Cannan, noting it is the job of food inspectors to ensure products made available to consumers are both safe and contain exactly what the label claims. And Cannan’s primary concern, he says, “is traceability both forward and backward.” In other words, he says, he has to be able to trace the source of products available on store shelves and in farmers’ markets as well as know where the products from an individual farm are destined.

As well, the workshop provided information on industry standards, such as fat content in various grades of ground beef or the difference between cured and

Base commander talks about CFB Trenton operations News - Quinte West - A presentation by 8 Wing Trenton Colonel David Lowthian included information on an open house on May 31.

“It will be an open house like you’ve never seen before,” he said. “There will be unique air demonstrations flying north to south.”

Lowthian told council about all the involvements going on at the base to date. He noted CFB Trenton is responsible for operations in Alert and Eureka in the north.

“There are 40 people in Alert, and more in the summer,” he said.

He noted that Eureka is a communications post and meteorological site just south of Alert.

CFS Mountain View is also active with air cadets and glider training, as well as being used by the C130J Hercules aircraft for semi-prepared runways training.

The C17 Globemaster can also land there.

Carrying Place is the site for a high frequency receiver station. They also get weather reports from Point Petre. The base connects with armouries in Belleville, Peterborough and Cobourg.

The base has 17 C130 J Hercules and four CC177 (C17) Globemaster aircraft.

“CFB Trenton is an explosion of activity,” he said.

Lowthian said some of their operations include Operation Boxtop twice a year to bring supplies to Alert. Exercise Royal Gunfighter is a joint battalion between 436 Squadron and Royal Canadian Regiment, working with the army. The 437 Squadron flies airbus with air to air refuelling.

Operation Renaissance to assist the Phillipines included a 19-day, 180,000-nautical-mile journey from Trenton through

Comox, Honolulu and Guam to the Phillipines as an air bridge using C17 and C144.

“It was the most significant airlift in Canadian history,” he said.

He noted that 6,500 patients were treated through DART, 130 kilometres of road cleared, 250,000 pounds of food delivered and 500,000 litres of water produced through reverse osmosis.

Lowthian said the base originally started in 1936 and only two hangars were built in the 1960s.

“It needed an upgrade,” he said.

“Over the past seven years it has been quite spectacular.”

He said Hangar 1 was built for the C17 on the north side and completed in 2012 at a cost of $89.1 million. “It’s an incredibly awesome hangar,” he said with a smile.

Hangar 2 was built for the C130J Hercules at a cost of $47.7 million. A Transport Electrical A flyby with Griffon and Chinook helicopters took place over the base on Wednesday. Photo: Kate Everson

Many hands make cleanup easier

By Diane Sherman

News - Madoc - The McLaren home on Moira Lake could not be protected from flooding in spite of a diligent attempt to hold back the lake with sandbags.

Moira Lake Property Owners Association president Bob Hadley rallied residents Saturday morning to help remove the 1,000 bags from around the home.

Danford Construction lightened the

workload by providing a front end loader and dump truck to haul the bags to the landfill site where they will be stored.

The job was done in just over an hour.

Volunteers pitched in to rake up debris and bring the yard into order for the McLarens.

The retired couple had to evacuate to higher ground once the surge of rainstorms followed the spring melt.

“Insurance will not cover flood dam-

age,” Linda McLaren said as she walked carefully amidst stacked furniture.

The lower walls of her home are cut out and being dried before repairs. She said she and husband John are renting a residence in the village on a week by week basis.

They are hoping to be approved for disaster relief assistance through the municipality.

Tammy Smith, widow of Blair, said the event normally draws “about 75 children.” She explained how her husband, a professional forester with Ontario Hydro and an ardent angler and outdoorsman, had requested before he died that something be done through his estate for children.

After fishing off shore and around the marina basin, the kids are also treated to hotdogs.

Triggers and Reels in Tweed

By Brett Mann

Business - Tweed - A new business, Triggers and Reels, has opened a store on Victoria Street in Tweed. Triggers and Reels is owned by Tony Ferreira who owns another business in Odessa and lives in Marlbank. Mr. Ferreira stocks a range of restricted and unrestricted firearms, ammunition, hunting and fishing clothing and live bait.

“We’re going to do a grand opening thing next week,” says Mr. Ferreira, noting “we’re the only outlet in Canada for a line of hunting clothes just for women, Girls with Guns. We also carry Rocky and Yukon gear. We try and cover a little bit of everything for fishing. Muskie, pike, walleye, you name it.”

“I had enough interest from the town. They said you should open a store, so I kind of switched the plans.”

“I bought this place to use just for a warehouse,” said Ferreira who had planned to open an online business only.

“I had enough interest from the town.

They said you should open a store, so I kind of switched the plans.” Asked why he sold restricted weapons such as handguns and a NATO DA556 assault rifle, Mr. Fer-

reira replied that the sport is “exploding” and that “lots of people are getting handgun licences.” Firing ranges are available in Madoc, Napanee, Belleville and Kingston, he reports. Ferreira is himself “an avid handgun shooter” who prefers the 357 Magnum and Glock 9 mm. Restricted rifles such as the DA556 can be used only on ranges and cannot be made fully automatic, he notes.

Interestingly, Ferreira reports growing up with “two gun hatin’ parents. Dad’s an engineer, mom used to work at Queen’s University. Not exactly the outdoors type.” Triggers and Reels has already sold “seven or eight” rifles and shotguns, and Owner Tony Ferreira displays some of the wares of Tweed’s newest business.

Food handler bylaw lost

Look up

By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - The food handler bylaw submitted by the Hastings and Prince Edward Counties Health Unit has been received and filed by the Corporate and Financial Services Committee.

The request was for a mandatory food handler certification bylaw by municipalities.

“The Health Unit said they would supplement 70 per cent of the cost of the food handler training course,” noted Kevin Heath, city clerk.

Terry Cassidy said this would be a good education for food handlers.

Leslie Roseblade asked, “Who determines high or medium risk?”

She also wondered how they could train thousands of people by December 31 when the subsidy runs out.

been issues in the past with church groups.

“We pay the health unit to inspect,” he noted. “Why are they not doing their job?”

Don Kuntze asked how they could police this.

Doug Whitney said the Health Unit is asking us to do their job.

Sally Freeman said the Lions Club pancake breakfast has a lot of people involved.

How could they all take the course? “This is ridiculous,” she said.

Charlie Murphy, CAO, said the Health Unit expects us to enforce the bylaw. He said this is similar to the smoking bylaw.

“They told us to enforce it, then we fought back and now they enforce it.”

Terry Cassidy said the bylaw has good intent and asked to defer.

Paul Kyte asked, “Who is a food handler?”

The bylaw was not supported.

About 40 attended the event, which ran from 1 to 7 p.m., because it gave them an opportunity to see if there were potential owners in the Belleville area that could help them open up in a new market.

Mitch Panciuk, the owner of the local Boston Pizza, and a well-known member of Bellevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business community, addressed those in attendance in an opening speech. He said that the Belleville market offers great opportunity, because of its healthy economy and its close-knit business community, which has allowed him to network and make great contacts.

But he also offered some motivation for people looking to become selfemployed for the first time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went into business because I wanted to work for myself, as opposed to another person,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Patti McDougall, the owner of the local Papa Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, took the podium next and offered some similar advice.

She said owning a business is tiring but rewarding, and more like a lifestyle than a job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You think about it all day, you go to bed thinking about it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you do.â&#x20AC;?

Coun. Jodie Jenkins said he was mainly interested in seeing Century Place converted to upscale condominiums and creating a downtown parking garage. But he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want it on the site of the Intelligencer building, now decaying. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That corner is too valuable for a parking garage,â&#x20AC;? he contended. He also didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to lock into the police station component of the project.

Developer spokesman Steve Hyndman, a retired city CAO, said the parking garage is no longer a requirement and temporary parking

arrangements can be negotiated. He also stressed that there have been misinformed public concerns about taking over the Market Square, which are false. He said the developer is willing to work with council to find suitable parking alternatives.

Coun. Jackie Denyes and also Coun.

Taso Christopher and Coun. Tom Lafferty continued to sense public funds requirements which are not spelled out, to which Ferguson-Aulthouse and other proponents insisted there are no public funds asked or expected. The saving of buying a downtown lot for a police station alone would cover or exceed any additional costs for the city. The existing bus terminal can be incorporated into a design of a new police facility and the Memorial Arena property would remain protected.

your own personal journey,â&#x20AC;? she said.

While Panciuk and McDougall were getting ready to speak, Charlene Bessin, the manager of the Small Business Centre, told the Belleville News about the resources available locally to those interested in becoming an entrepreneur.

The Small Business Centre is a provincially funded program, that operates out of Trenval, the economic development agency based out of the Pioneer building at Loyalist College.

It provides free services for people in Belleville, Quinte West, Hastings County, Prince Edward County and Lennox & Addington. The centre offers seminars and workshops and can provide help with business plans, marketing plans, finances and a range of other services.

The biggest question staff get from people interested in launching a business is, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where do I start,â&#x20AC;? Bessin said, with a bit of a laugh.

Putting everything in place to start a business can be overwhelming, she admitted. But she recommends people first determine what they are passionate about and go from there. When they have a business idea that they think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll enjoy, then staff can help them look into the viability of the project.

encouraged council to find a suitable use for the building as soon as possible.

Coun. Christopher focussed on changes from the original presentation and wondered what other changes might be in store.

Coun. Jack Miller complained that the developers havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made a complete presentation with all city departments, staff and councillors involved.

Almost all members affirmed the proposal was a creative and interesting one, but signalled a lack of commitment until they got more information or there were changes that better fitted their own ideas.

Mayor Neil Ellis and senior staff said they would arrange a special meeting of council and include a public meeting.

Meanwhile, Jeremy Davis, vicechair of Heritage Belleville, and Stan Jones, chair, gave council some manon-the-street input, saying that as long as the Memorial Arena property is protected, they are completely in favour of the project and want council to take advantage of a golden opportunity.

The public meeting is to be arranged within a few days and council hopes to meet the May 31 deadline to get an agreement with the developer.

Health unit board reviews flood role

News – Belleville – As flood waters around Foxboro and other zones in the Quinte area continue to subside, members of the Hastings and Prince Edward Health Unit Board Wednesday reviewed their own unique role in the disaster.

Staffer Eric Serwotka described how he and other health unit staff and officials sat on the emergency committee and had specific roles to play. These included making sure flood area residents were aware of well and septic tank contamination from flood waters and potential disease problems and that residents at risk, such as seniors and those with disabilities, could access assistance and medical needs.

Their concern now is risk from mould in some 70 flooded homes in the Foxboro area alone. Unless proper cleanup and drywall replacement is done, watersoaked buildings can spawn a health-hazardous moulds, he said.

Follow-up procedures and details are already listed on the health unit’s website or residents may call at any time with concerns.

Board members also debated the province’s financial assistance package for which some have applied. Belleville

representatives said the province would match one dollar for every two raised by residents and/or the municipality. Tweed Reeve JoAnne Albert though it was two for one. That discussion was left unresolved.

Medical Officer of Health Dr. Richard Schabas turned the board’s attention to a new threat as the summer season approaches – Lyme disease.

He noted that 16 cases of the potentially deadly disease were reported to the unit in 2013. He described that as “a growing number that is in line with yearover-year provincial trends.”

The disease is attributed to a bacteria carried by an increasing number of black ticks, whose populations in park and wooded areas are growing in the Quinte area and Eastern Ontario.

“Over 15 per cent of the blacklegged ticks we submitted for sample were positive for the borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria responsible for Lyme disease,” he added.

He said the health unit will shift its attention this year to areas where the ticks are suspected to be found and those include a number of public parks, including Vanderwater, Sager, Sidney, Kings Mill and Bleasdell

Boulder conservation areas.

Staff are also making presentations on the disease and the ticks at public meetings and to Quinte Conservation staff, veterinarians and local physicians.

For a start, Dr. Schabas urged woods-users to wear long clothing at all times in brush covered areas, especially under wet conditions, and also to inspect themselves for tick attachments.

It takes several hours for the ticks to spread the bacteria into the system, so if removed promptly, there are no problems. If a person does become infected, it can lead primarily to arthritis, but also heart conditions.

In other business, the board debated a name change to shorten the title, but deferred action on that for one month.

There was also a brief report on the new building progress.

Basically, said chair James McBride, speculation about a precise date the new building might be ready won’t be resolved until after the structure is fully enclosed and workers are no longer at the mercy of the elements. Original plans were to move into the new building before the end of the year. The project remains on budget.

learned the hard way.” Miller was the emcee of the event and was participating in the walk for the fourth straight year.

While the event brought out smiles and laughter from most people in attendance, Three Oaks Foundation Executive Director Sandy WatsonMoyles said she felt “goose bumps” as everyone congregated at Empire Square for the opening and made their way to the Front Street starting point.

She was touched that so many people were willing to support her organization, which provides an invaluable service to so many women.

She said that the shelter served 133 women in the 2013-2014 fiscal year and about 200 more benefitted from community counselling programs.

Although the shelter does get some government support, it still requires fund raisers to meet its budget.

During the opening ceremonies she pointed out that violence against women is a disturbingly common problem, more common than many people realize.

“One in three women will be a victim of violence in her lifetime,” she said.

Meet Blackie Chan

This handsome boy is Blackie Chan. He has come such a long way.

He was so frightened for the first four weeks we rarely had any sightings.

Now that he is comfortable he will jump up on the couch and mimic the best couch potato ever. He’s stingy with his purrs but that makes them all the more special! He has a tiny white tip on his tail and a large white patch on his belly. He is good with dogs and gets along well with adult cats and kittens.Blackie Chan would love to bring some intrigue and fun to your home.

And don’t forget 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 all the other cats and kittens we live trap 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 $75.00 for kittens and $50.00 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.

Participants in Walk a Mile in Her Shoes begin marching down Front Street at the start of the walk to raise awareness for violence against women. Men were encouraged to wear red high heels for the walk. Photo: Stephen Petrick

About 100 men, wearing specially made red high-heeled shoes, walked through downtown Belleville on Saturday, May 10, in the fourth annual event. The walkers had gathered pledges to support women’s shelter Three Oaks Foundation.

Royal LePage real estate agent Patricia Guernsey, the chair of the event, explained that organizers were hoping to raise $40,000 this year; a reasonable goal considering last year’s event raised about $35,000. The money was earmarked for Three Oaks’ new second stage housing program, which offers women long-term housing while they transition back into normal living situations after fleeing from an abusive situation.

While the primary purposes of the walk were to raise funds and awareness, the walkers were certainly raising laughter, too.

“I’m pretty impressed that men will put high heels on to begin with and raise money,” Guernsey said. “It shows the community spirit and what they’re willing to do it. And let’s face it, it’s a whole lot more fun to watch men in high heels.”

Guernsey said the shoes used for the event are custom made for these types of events, and came shipped in from Toronto. Men who registered for the walk were fitted by a team of volunteers manning a table.

But even with all the support, men still find it challenging to walk in high heels. Many put hockey tape around their arches to keep their feet in.

“The trick is to wear one size larger than your normal shoe size,” Belleville city Councillor Jack Miller piped in. “I

Sir James Whitney supporters protest spending cuts

By Stephen Petrick

News - Belleville - Staff, students and supporters of the Sir James Whitney School for the Deaf hope candidates in the June 12 provincial election will listen to the message they brought forward at a noon-hour protest last week: no more cuts.

Dozens gathered at the entrance of the school on busy Dundas Street West on Wednesday, May 7, to denounce the Ministry of Education’s treatment of the school.

Chris Cormier, the regional vice president of OPSEU, which represents many of the protesting staff members, said the demonstration was staged to protest the ministry’s decision to reduce hours for residential staff, which includes translators, and educational assistants.

The cuts mean 70 seasonal staff will lose about three weeks worth of hours over the course of a year. All combined, that equates to 6,700 hours, he said. The cuts are scheduled to come into effect in September 2014, he added.

And the cuts are concerning to Sir OPSEU regional vice president Chris Cormier addresses a crowd of Sir James Whitney staff and supporters at the noon-hour James Whitney supporters because they are impacting staff who work protest. Photo: Stephen Petrick closely with students, who come from communities across eastern Ontario to receive a special form of education not offered to the same degree in mainstream schools.

“The cuts are terrible,” said Ken Roberts, a retired Sir James Whitney teacher, in an interview conducted with the help of an interpreter. “The ������ �������� ������ ������� ����� kids need the support from the staff that they have.”

He said the cutbacks will eliminate planning time for evening activities.

“It’s not meeting the kids’ needs.”

Erika Stebbings, a mother of a Sir James Whitney student and a co-chair of the school’s parent council, was

also marching in solidarity with the staff.

“I support all of the staff,” she said, through an interpreter. “We need to keep everything the way it is. We can’t have cutbacks, if anything we need a raise.”

She pointed out that the school offers special education programs to several types of students. There are deaf students, but also those who have hearing declines or implants.

“We need to increase that funding, not decrease it. We need to be here for the training for the students.”

She also fears that, given a history of cutbacks, the school may one day close.

“They should cut from the top levels, not from the bottom, not from the kids.”

Caitlyn Buczynski, a Grade 12 student at the school, came out to support the staff.

She said the government needs to understand that Sir James Whitney offers a special type of education for deaf students. She said she’s much happier at Sir James Whitney than she would be at a mainstream school.

“I want the government to stop the oppression and stop the cutbacks,” she said, through an interpreter.

The battle for the third spot was an intense three-way battle between Greg Belyea, David McDonald, and Phil Potts. McDonald drove a flawless final 10 laps in the top groove to hold off his two challengers.

Baldwin and Sandercock were the qualifying heat winners.

Tichborne man ordered to remove illegal hunting camp News - A Tichborne resident has pleaded guilty to constructing a building on Crown land without the required permits.

David Raymond was fined $3,000 and received a court order to vacate and rehabilitate the site to its natural state.

The court heard that between August 15, 2013 and September 15, 2013, Raymond completed an addition to an existing illegal hunting camp on Crown land along the Morrow Road in Palmerston Township, north of

Kingston.

The hunting camp originated as a trailer that Raymond expanded annually. He later removed the trailer and built in its place a permanent building.

Justice of the Peace Richard C. P. Sculthorpe heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice, Kingston, on April 29, 2014. The public is reminded that any work or construction on Crown land that alters the land in any way from its original state requires a work permit from the Ministry of Natural Resources.

“I have tried many things before, but to no avail.”

Read about Hair Volume™ Christie has worked in a pharmacy all her life. “Maybe that is why I was skeptical, when I first read about Hair Volume. I am always studying the declarations very carefully and there was something about this product,

which made me realize that it was special.”

Very positive experience “Today I have taken the Hair Volume tablets for 38 days and I can truly feel an improvement and less hair loss. My nails are also stronger and less grooved. All in all a very positive experience. I will definitely continue taking this product”, relates a happy Christie.

As Jo Ann laughingly said of the purchase, “I saw the gleam in his eye and knew there was another woman in my life!” The car was one of more than 20 to line Marmora’s main street on May 8 for the first Cruise Night of the season.

Lifestyles - Marmora - It was back to the old parallel parking on main street during the first cruise night of the season held on the evening of May 8. More than 20 classic cars, from as far away as Bancroft and Napanee, arrived in town, with drivers glad to be back on the road in their favourite vehicles after a very long winter.

Barrie Graley, president of the #7 Classic Cruisers, commented as the street was filling with both cars and observers, “We are looking forward to a good year—with hopefully better weather than last year.” Stormy weather was a common occurrence on Thursday nights in 2013 when five of the gatherings had to be cancelled.

He explained regarding the funds raised during the cruise nights which stretch from now until mid-September, “This year we are supporting the Medical Centre and will assist with funding

The spectacular Butchart Gardens have bloomed for over a century

By John M. Smith

Entering Vancouver Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Butchart Gardens

the Sturgeon Fountain, cast in Florence, Italy, the Frog Fountain in the Star Pond, the statue of Tacca the Boar in the Piazza, and the statue of Mercury in the Italian Garden. I also passed Waterwheel Square, a Snail Pond, a Bog Garden, a Plant IdentiďŹ cation Area, two totem poles which overlook the ďŹ reworksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ďŹ elds, the Organ Pavilion, the original dairy barn, and the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pavilion and Rose Carousel with its 30 hand-carved wooden animals and two chariots, before arriving at Butchart Cove where a boat, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jennie Bâ&#x20AC;?, takes passengers past what remains of the old cement plant.

To get to the Butchart Gardens from the Swartz Bay ferry terminal, simply head off the ferry ramp onto Patricia Bay Highway/BC 17 South. Turn right at Mt. Newton Cross Road, left at Wallace Drive, and right onto Benvenuto Avenue.

After your visit, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a short drive or Ross Fountain bike ride into Victoria, where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ďŹ nd a great variety of accommodations and eateries. I stayed at the Oswego Hotel, Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst contemporary boutique hotel and located just two blocks from the Inner Harbour.

Butchart Gardens opens daily at 9 a.m. except Christmas Day when it opens at 1 p.m., and entrance rates vary seasonally, so check out its website (www.butchartgardens.com). To give you an example, the price of admission this summer (June 15 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sept. 30) will be $30.80 for an adult, $15.40 for a youth (ages 13-17), and $3.00 for a child.

Your summer ticket also gives you access to performances on the Concert Lawn â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Firework Saturdaysâ&#x20AC;?. (above) Some B&Bs offer special packages that The sunken include your visit. Once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re inside gardens.

Butchart Gardens, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll, of course, ďŹ nd restaurants, including the opportunity for â&#x20AC;&#x153;High Teaâ&#x20AC;? in the Dining Room Restaurant. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also ďŹ nd a gift shop, (right) A where you can purchase hand-packaged winding seeds with which to begin your very staicase in own version of this colourful garden!

Lifestyles - Robert Pim Butchart (18561943) was born near Owen Sound, Ontario, but he and his wife eventually moved to Vancouver Island because of the rich limestone deposits located at the base of the Saanich Peninsula.

After all, these were vital to his cement manufacturing business. By 1909, the limestone quarry near their home was exhausted, so Jennie, his wife, decided to convert this now barren â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;eyesoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; into a Sunken Garden, and thus began the creation of what has now become the renowned Butchart Gardens, one of our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most visited and spectacular ďŹ&#x201A;oral displays â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a landscaped masterpiece â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and a National Historic Site.

By the early 1920s, crowds of people began to come to see this beautiful sunken garden in the limestone quarry, and the area was eventually increased in size when the Butcharts replaced their tennis courts with an Italian garden (1926) and their vegetable garden with a large rose garden (1929). By 1939, Robert and Jennie gave control of the Butchart Gardens to their grandson, Ian Ross (1918-1997), as a 21st birthday present, and he remained involved in the operation and promotion of this property for over 50 years. Ownership still remains with the Butchart family to this very day and several additional gardens including Japanese and Mediterranean and improvements have been made such as night illumination on its 50th anniversary, the installation of the Ross Fountain in the lower reservoir for the 60th, and the addition of two large totem poles for the 100th.

I visited these magniďŹ cent gardens on my last visit to Vancouver Island, and I found them to be very impressive.

What a sea of vivacious colours! The most visually stunning area of all is still the luscious Sunken Garden with its switchback staircase and its raised entrance provides great photo ops. Many a wedding photo has been taken here.

As I gazed into the distance, I could see a tall kiln stack, all that remains of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former cement plant.

I visited in the late spring, so tulips â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ruledâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, but each season has its own very special offerings. During the summer season, roses become the main attraction and there are also hundreds of hanging baskets, plus a summer entertainment venue (nightly), boat cruises (daily), and ďŹ reworks on Saturday nights. In the autumn, the dahlias and the colourful foliage becomes the main eye candy, and it can be argued that the Japanese Garden area particularly glows with its stunning reds, russets, and golds. As Christmas approaches, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;12 Days of Christmasâ&#x20AC;? displays are out, thousands of coloured lights brighten up the night air, carolers sing the songs of the season, and skaters enjoy the outdoor rink. Butchart Gardens is, indeed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Garden for all Seasonsâ&#x20AC;?.

As I strolled about the 55 acres of ďŹ&#x201A;oral displays, I stopped within the Sunken Garden itself to enjoy its beds of annuals, shrubs, and ďŹ&#x201A;owering trees.

I saw the still waters of Quarry Lake lying in a deep pocket of limestone and, further along the path, I watched the Ross Fountain spewing out its tower of water to a height of 21 metres (70 feet). After leaving this particular area, I saw some other interesting fountains and statues on the grounds, including

The Good Earth:

Air Conditioning

Wikipedia, OPALS and Tom Ogren

Dan Clost Lifestyles - Gentle Reader, way back in September of â&#x20AC;&#x2122;03, I wrote a column entitled Safe Sex in the Garden, using the title of a book concerning plant choices. Some chap from California had this strange notion that we were making ourselves ill by choosing â&#x20AC;&#x153;cleanâ&#x20AC;? trees and shrubs for our plantscapes.

A â&#x20AC;&#x153;cleanâ&#x20AC;? tree is one that is commonly deďŹ ned as not making a mess with falling fruit, keys, samara, cotton ďŹ&#x201A;uff, etc.

They are almost all male plants which ďŹ ll the air with not-so-clean pollen. The relationship between these mono-gender plantings and the increased incidence of breathing difďŹ culties is no longer deniable although discussions about the severity will likely continue for much longer to come.

Tom Ogren, recognised as one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading authorities on this issue, wrote that seminal tome following it up with Allergy Free Garden. In fact,

I Relay...

Well, Gentle Reader, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not too sure with which sort of headline my editor is going to preface this column but I do know she will have given it some thought. This is all about sex. However, it is not quite what you think. We all know a little bit about pollination. We all know that a plant must be female (sort of) in order for it to produce a fruit. In the vegetable garden or orchard this is a good thing. On the boulevard or front lawn, some people think this might be too much of a good thing. Maple keys, catalpa beans, birch catkins, and mushy ornamental crab-apples have all had less than kind thoughts directed at them. Many requests are made at our nursery for seedless ashes and keyless maples. Folks want plants that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make fruit but do have ďŹ&#x201A;owers.

Over the years, an unwanted trend has been developing. There has been a direct correlation shown between these plants and the increase in human allergic responses. The main point is that these â&#x20AC;&#x153;cleanâ&#x20AC;? plants are primarily male and they are very busy spreading huge amounts of pollen everywhere they can. Plant pollen has no conscious or rigid set of mores. It will cling to anything it can, including us. The fruitless mulberry that is almost de rigueur at the entrance to many homes is a notorious pollen factory. Have you ever seen the â&#x20AC;&#x153;road dustâ&#x20AC;? ďŹ&#x201A;y off of the yews when you brush up against them? You have become intimately involved with an unmediated taxus.

How serious is this? The increase in allergies

(United Statesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ďŹ gures) has gone from 2-5% (1959) to 12-15% (1985) to 38% (1999) to... forget percentages, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real ďŹ gure from 2012- four million lost workdays due to hay fever, according to WebMD. Much of this has been proven attributable to pollen producing plants in the urban landscape. Anyone working with youth today knows that along with skateboards and cell phones, puffers are the most common object the kids carry with them.

Why this increase? We come in contact with many irritants: dust bunnies in the bedroom, mould in the shower, doggy dandruff. We inhale second hand smoke, auto exhausts and factory emissions.

We breathe in recycled air from the conditioners that are replete with fumes from off gassing carpets and little mouldy bits of stuff from places you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to know. A critical point is reached; our bodies are no longer able to buffer the effects of our environment and we are vulnerable. One more irritant equals a reaction. Then we go home to our bits of this good earth and stuff our snoot into a ďŹ&#x201A;ower. Reach for the Claritin, eh?

Am I saying that we should purge our gardens of the males? Go on a witch hunt, well warlock hunt, and unstake the boys? Far from it; however, for those of you who suffer allergies, you might want to take stock of your stalks. You can reduce your exposure to pollen and not lose any of the beauty of your gardens. At the nursery/garden centre, ask for plants with speciďŹ c gender characteristics such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;perfectâ&#x20AC;? ďŹ&#x201A;owers or parthenocarpic fruiting.

Where did all this concern come from? Before working in the nursery I seldom experienced any such problems. Now there are certain times, e.g. helping move yews when they are producing pollen, when I go around sneezing much more than usual. I went looking for a connection and found Safe Sex.

CAMPING & OUTDOORS GUIDE 2014

How to go camping in style

(NC) Our interests can be so varied when venturing into the great Canadian wilderness – and this includes our comfort.

For example, spending your vacation admiring one of the largest dark sky preserves in the world, or exploring the training site for a future mission to Mars, or even retracing the footsteps of the Kennedy family are all fascinating ideas, and now Parks Canada can elevate your experience with the addition of its state-of-the-art camping facilities. How about ending your day with your feet up on the front deck of one of its ‘oTENTik’ tents?

These are a cross between a tent and a rustic cabin. The oTENTik is a two-sided tent that can accommodate up to six people. It has three beds, a table, four chairs and some locations even have a wood-burning stove. The beds are arranged to provide campers with privacy and storage space.

“In recent years, enthusiasm has been growing for all things related to fullyequipped camping,” says Kara Sherrard, the director of visitor experience at Parks Canada. Not all of our visitors are looking for the traditional camping experience; many prefer to sleep in a good bed and have a campsite that is already set up. This is what prompted us to launch this new type of accommodation.”

Feedback is varied and positive, Sherrard points out.

“The comment we get most often is that

SALES

our tents resemble those from the Gold Rush era. That’s true, although there is much more comfort to these. They are ideal for friends, couples of all ages and families who want to either discover or rediscover a camping experience that is simple and hassle-free.

What’s more,” she adds, “the addition of a wood-burning stove makes it possible to start the season at the beginning of May and extend it to the Thanksgiving long weekend, without worrying about the whims of Mother Nature.”

For the over 100-year-old organization, this addition to its accommodation offering, which already includes over 120 units across the country, was essential. “We are meeting the needs of the majority of people who haven’t experienced wide-open natural spaces, “explains Andrew Campbell, the vice president of external relations and visitor experience at Parks Canada. “This new version of a tent provides an easy gateway to enjoying Canada’s most beautiful landscapes.”

The oTENTik tents are available at 14 sites across the country, including Fort Rodd Hill National Historic Site in British Columbia, and Banff National Park. And what about those adventures among the stars, the planet Mars, and the Kennedys?

“Well, you will need to go to Jasper National Park in Alberta,” says Campbell, “which has one of the largest dark sky preserves in

the world. And plan a trip to Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland, which serves as one of NASA’s Mars analogue sites due to similarities in some places with Martian soil.

The Mauricie National Park in Quebec was

one of the favourite vacation spots visited by Joe Kennedy, father of the future president of the United States.

wanted to get involved,” Theresa said.

“I am already very involved in extracurricular activities at school.”

This is not just the only honour Theresa has received this year. At the Quinte Regional Science and Technology Fair 2014, Theresa was one of five students to receive the Belleville Kiwanis Canada-wide Science Fair Award. Theresa travelled to Windsor from May 10 to 17, 2014, to compete on the National Stage with 500 other students from across Canada at the 53rd Canadawide Science Fair. The 500 students are selected from over 100 regional science fairs held across the country every year. This will be her fourth trip to this science competition. She has won many awards for her outstanding projects. She has represented our area with great distinction and we know she will continue to shine in all things she attempts.

Theresa presented her Science research poster at the Ontario Water Works Association joint conference in London Ontario recently. This is a water quality conference that brings together about 1,000 water professionals, university grad students, high ranking ministry officials and national research chairs to forum on emerging trends and issues in drinking water quality.

Staff to learn how to identify victims of elder abuse among patients

By John Campbell

News - Campbellford - Campbellford Memorial Hospital’s objectives for 2014-2015 include developing and implementing a screening tool for the identification and prevention of elder abuse among seniors who receive care at the hospital.

“There’s so much that we don’t know,” chief nursing officer Jan Raine told the hospital’s board of directors May 8. “We need to get educated.”

The aim will be figure out in cases where elder abuse is suspected “whether it’s physical, mental [or] financial, and what do we do with that information,”

she said.

An elder abuse education session will be held in September to equip staff and physicians with the means for screening and detecting instances of possible elder abuse, and to inform health care workers what their rights and obligations are when dealing with suspect cases.

The hospital also plans to establish a relationship with the Ontario Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (ONPEA).

The rate of abuse among older adults is between two and ten per cent, with those who assist abused older adults believing the rate is closer to ten per cent

ONPEA says on its web site.

“Financial abuse is the most common form, followed by neglect,” it states, and the “only instance where reporting of suspected abuse of an older adult is mandatory” is when the person resides in a nursing home or a long-term-care home.

Boost children’s speech and language development with books It’s no surprise that ‘mama’ and ‘dada’ are often babies’ first words. Other speech sounds emerge much later.

Four-year-olds can produce almost all speech sounds correctly, but r, th, ch, j are typically still difficult. Speech pathologists rely on books tremendously in their work with children who have either articulation or language processing challenges. They may share “Leo the Late Bloomer”

by Kraus with children who

need practice hearing and forming ‘l’ sounds or “Four Fur Feet”

by Margaret Wise Brown for the children working on ‘f’ sounds.

Books such as “Brown Bear Brown Bear” by Bill Martin Jr. can be used to emphasize specific speech sounds, or to highlight how words (adjectives and nouns) are combined.

May is Better Hearing and Speech Month.

Preschool Speech and Language programs across Ontario have a wealth of information about children’s speech and language development. If you have questions or concerns about your toddler’s or preschooler’s speech, language milestones, or are simply curious

to know more, check out Ontario Preschool Speech and Language Programs’ website at www.children.gov.on.ca/htdocs/English/ topics/earlychildhood/speechlanguage/index.aspx or call Hastings Prince Edward Preschool Speech and Language at 613-969-7400 (ext 2249).

Lifestyles - “Peek-a-boo!” Blonde, feathery hair stood and swayed like a field of wheat on Ben’s tiny head as I read the words from his book. I hadn’t meant to say ‘peek’ so powerfully, but Ben’s saucer-sized eyes had been riveted to the large, lift-the-flap pictures.

Though Ben was only four months old, he loved books. Ben and I read together a lot when he was little even though at that time I knew little about research linking book sharing to children’s speech, language and literacy development.

I hadn’t realized how reading simple text slowly and expressively could help babies isolate the sounds of language.

Nor had I clearly understood that, by playfully pointing to and labelling pictures, I could encourage babies to imitate sounds even before they could talk.

As a toddler and preschooler, Ben gravitated to stories with rhythm and rhyme, and was especially content if he could see my facial expressions as we read together.

Joanne Morrissey, parent support worker with Early Expressions Preschool Speech and Language, tells us that “In addition to being a great way to connect with your child, sharing books with your child is one of the most effective ways to teach them about sounds, how sounds make words and how words form sentences and stories.” According to Morrissey one in every ten children has a significant speech or language problem. Book sharing can be a powerful tool that helps children focus on either articulation or structure of language.

Books with rhyme and alliteration, such as “Silly Sally” by Audrey Wood, help

children hear similarities and differences at the ending or beginning of words. Books such as “Barnyard Dance” by Sandra Boynton or “Hand, Hand Fingers Thumb” by Al Perkins help children hear rhythm and syllables in words.

Articulation of specific speech sounds develops as children mature. The first sounds infants make are vowel sounds, followed by vowels in combination with consonants such as m and b.

Steel Magnolias to be postponed until renovations complete

By Kate Everson

Quinte West – The performance of Steel Magnolias at My Theatre will be postponed to a later date.

Publicist for the theatre Laura Rickards announced Tuesday that a meeting with the mayor was held on Monday, May 12 with the Chief Building Officer, Senior Fire Prevention Officer, Deputy Chief of the Fire Department, Building

Manager, Chief Planner for the City, Dorothy James and Pat Clark, directors of Trent Port Historical Society (TPHS), Julie VanDijk, treasurer of TPHS, Shawn Ellis, President TPHS, Carl Cashin, past president Bay of Quinte Community Players (BQCP), and Laura Rickards, Publicity BQCP. “The city was bending over backwards trying to help us,” Rickards said, “but the time restraints of getting what needs to be done on time would be

very difficult.”

The city cannot guarantee completion of the needed renovations to meet the fire code by June 5, nor could the Historical Society. With the complications of selling tickets without a confirmed opening date, it was a joint decision to postpone Steel Magnolias.

Rickards added that although they are feeling a bit down by this news, they are looking forward to announcing their new season which will include Steel Magnolias along with some other wonderful selections.

“We have a great Christmas show along with a classic comedy and a heartwarming drama on that list, ” she said.

She said they are also going to participate in some fund raising over the summer to help pay for the renovations.

Steel Magnolias, put on by My Theatre, Bay of Quinte Community Players, will be held upstairs at the Trent Port Historical Society old town hall 1861 at 55 King Street in Trenton. It had been set to run from June 5 to 21.

Steel Magnolias is written by Robert Harling and will be directed by Bev Roy. “Steel Magnolias is about the lives of six women in Louisiana,” says Roy. They congregate at Trivy’s beauty shop to ponder the mysteries of life and support each other through their triumphs and tragedies.

The performers include ladies from the area. Seasoned performer Victoria Farrell from Carrying Place plays the part of “Ouiser.”

“I’ll be wearing coveralls and a hat,” she says. “I’m a bit gruff, not like those other fancy pants. I tell it like it is.”

Steel Magnolias are: (l-r) Wendy Roy, Nicole West, Liv Paul, Shalyn Gurr, and Victoria Farrell. Photo: Kate Everson

Farrell has been performing for over 40 years and has been in plays in Belleville, Brighton and Trenton.

Also on stage will be Nicole West from Thomasburg as Truvy, Wendy Roy from Belleville as Shelby, Shalyn Gurr from Belleville as Clairee, Liv Paul from Belleville as Annelle, and director Bev Roy from Warkworth as M’Lynn.

Crew includes Brittney Grier from Trenton as stage

manager, Simone Portelli from Warkworth on props and makeup, Sarah Keoughan from Quinte West on lights and Mary Galloway from Belleville as an extra.

Please stay tuned for an announcement about the new date set for the play. Tickets can be purchased through the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce at 613-392-7635 or online at mytheatrequinte. ca.

“Scent of a Lilac,” this year’s theme

By Sue Dickens

Events - Warkworth Unique and rare lilacs matched by unique and rare talent will be showcased at the 4th Annual Lilac Festival in Warkworth May 24 and 25.

Mary Henry is one of five chairs, each of whom has taken on a specific project to provide even more variety at this year’s festival.

“Scent of a Lilac is our theme, as we showcase the most fragrant of the lilacs,” she explained.

Drifting dream, Pocahontas Canadian Lilac, the MollieAnne, these are just some of the lilacs that will be sold during the festival.

“And of course there will be the Jubilee named after our festival. It is a wine red colour,” said Henry with enthusiasm.

“I am the lilac lady; I do the lilac sales,” she added with a big grin.

“I’ve been involved since the beginning of the festival and we’ve almost tripled sales in three years. I’ve learned a lot about lilacs. I didn’t know that much about them. It’s been a real education.”

There will be approximately 75 varieties of lilacs along the Warkworth Lilac Millennium Trail for festivalgoers to enjoy.

Thanks to Terry Fontyn, founder and chair of Friends of the Lilacs, and a group of about 14 volunteers, the trail is being

maintained on a regular basis.

“My idea was to form a group to keep the trail nice and keep the toxic weeds out,” he explained.

Maureen O’Grady, chair of the photo contest, said this competition is back by popular demand.

“I love photography but I am an amateur. I find there is beauty all around and sometimes you just see that frame pull yourself off to the side of the road and take a photo,” she commented.

“We were very excited about the interest we saw last year, the first year for the contest,” she said.

“We’ve been looking for springtime photos from people who can think outside the box.

It’s not all about blossoms on a tree,” she explained.

A new prize category called the Founder’s Award in honour of David Rollins has been added. Winners are to be announced at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 24.

Another “back by popular demand” event is an evening of “sizzling” Jazz at the Lilac Room, Warkworth Centre of the Performing Arts on Saturday at 8 p.m.

Judy Kaufmann, who is chair of the Jazz concert committee told the Trent Hills Independent that Canada’s own Adi Braun, popular vocalist, will provide “an evening with Rosie [Rosemary Clooney], Judy Garland and Peggy Lee.”

Taking time to stop and smell the lilacs that adorned the porch of a business in downtown Warkworth is David Rollins, founder of the Warkworth Lilac Festival and Lois Rowe, committee member. This photo was taken at last year’s festival, called Fifty Shades of Lilac. This year’s festival takes place May 24 and 25. Photo: Sue Dickens

Braun emailed a quote about her upcoming performance: “I am so excited about my return, LOVE Warkworth and its unique setting and special people. Just so that you know, this will be the premiere of this new show I am creating.”

And last but not least is “The Bi-

joux Luncheon,” being hosted by David Rollins with special guest stylist Sandra Pittana, a regular commentator on City Line’s “Fashion Friday.”

“She’s effervescent, bubbly, friendly knows everything about fashion from hosiery to jewellery,”

said Rollins.

Six jewellery designers will be featured offering everything from vintage to traditional, “even some Persian inspired jewellery,” all for sale.

“It will be a wonderful afternoon,” he said.

“Our goal is to focus on making this more than a lilac festival. Lilacs are in bloom here for a month at least if not longer. We want to attract people here for a longer time.”
