Quinte West – The weather was perfect for the city’s eighth annual Frostfest at Batawa on February 8. “We had the biggest turnout ever,� smiled organizer Colleen Vickers. “We had three ice surfaces for skating and the best weather.� Vickers said she was very impressed with the shows put on by Jay Kobbler, the eccentric magician, who wowed the crowd by juggling swords and swallowing fire. It was also exciting to see a performance by the Ice Wine synchronized skaters. There was marshmallow roasting and s’mores at the community bonfire, valentines and arts and crafts with Art For Everyone, horse and carriage rides around the village sponsored by the Batawa Development Corporation and lunches hosted by Seniors Unlimited. “The only thing we did not have was the petting zoo,� Vickers said. “They were from the County and got snowed in.� Merry Tinsley, team manager and mom for the Ice Wine synchronized skaters, said this marked the first time the team had per-

formed in Quinte West and the first time on outdoor ice. “There are no sides on the ice pad like a rink,� she said. “It was a huge adjustment for them. But the weather couldn’t be better. It was perfect.� She said the ten skaters come from the whole Quinte area including Belleville, Quinte West, Frankford and Prince Edward County. “They are all ex-competitive figure skaters,� she said. “Some are ex-synchronized skaters. Some are new to the sport and love it.� Tinsley has been involved in figure skating for over 30 years and was a synchronized skater herself. Now her daughter Katie Holt is on the team. “Some of the girls have been skating for 15 to 20 years,� she added. “They range from ages 22 and up. There is no age limit. We are always looking for new skaters with past skating experience. Tryouts are in September.� The team trains in Wellington at the new Please see “Frostfest� on page 12

Hydro One.� Forder said the unit was producing power, which the city was able to monitor online until major snowfalls blanketed the panels. “This situation was factored into our calculations for the yearly output of these types of projects and will come back online as the snow melts from the panels,� he noted. The Bayside Water Treatment Plant solar project proposal has been Please see “Solar� on page 12

Lifestyles - Hastings/Prince Edward Counties - Local residents are encouraged to make use of the newly developed Food Access Guide for Hastings and Prince Edward Counties. This online guide was developed by the Food Security Network of Hastings and Prince Edward Counties as a way to improve how information is shared with those who access free or low cost food and meal programs and services in our area. Service providers as well as the public can use the guide to access information about emergency food services, meal programs, collective kitchens & cooking classes, food box programs, community gardens & local food initiatives, grocery delivery & transportation services, and student nutrition programs. According to the Canadian Community Health Survey, 9.9% of all households in Hastings and Prince Edward counties experienced food insecurity in 2011-2012. This works out to greater than 15,800 local residents. “Having access to an adequate supply of safe, affordable and nutritious food is important to our overall health and well-beingâ€?, says Elizabeth Finlan, Registered Dietitian with the Hastings & Prince Edward Counties Health Unit.  â€œWhen people are in need of food, the Food Access Guide is a central location where they can go to find the closest food bank or meal program as well as their hours of operation.â€?

A cool new fund-raiser coming to Belleville

SPINAL DECOMPRESSION THERAPY IS NOW AVAILABLE IN THE QUINTE AREA

News – Belleville – A national philanthropy organization is bringing a brand new fund-raising event to Belleville this month, and they’re asking for your help. The Coldest Night of the Year (CNOY) is an event that was started in 2011 by Blue Sea Philanthropy, a registered Canadian charity that produces fund-raising events for partner charities in cities across Canada. The ďŹ rst CNOY was started in just two cities, Toronto and Kitchener/ Waterloo, but Blue Sea Philanthropy events administrator Tiffany Irwin said

that after a strong response in the ďŹ rst few years the decision was made to expand the events to other cities across Canada. The inaugural walk drew more than 400 participants and raised $110,000. In 2014, more than 60 cities across the country will host CNOY, all contributing to a $2.5 million national goal. “Some people may just like walking and they come out for that, but on the other hand a lot of people just see the value in investing in their community, and the people who need help the most,â€? Irwin said. “There’s a real sense

of togetherness on walk day. We give out toques, and you see this big ood of people wearing the exact same toque on the city streets together, it’s just a really awesome picture of a community joining together to help people in need.â€? In Belleville, funds raised from the event on February 22 will aid the Belleville branch of Nightlight, a Christian-based drop in centre for homeless or marginalized adults. The group recently expanded to Belleville from the Kingston area, and offers a safe place for adults to be themselves and build meaningful relations at their 228 Front St. location on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Nightlight founder Ben Platz said since opening in Belleville in January the organization has averaged about 100 people per week. Funds raised from CNOY will help cover ongoing operational costs for Nightlight, which does not apply for or receive any government funding. “What it feels like, is what people are accustomed to when they walk into a Starbucks or Coldest Night of the Year is a new national fundraising event that’s coming to Belleville on February a Tim Hortons,â€? said Platz, who started the ďŹ rst Nightlight 22 after successful runs in dozens of Canadian cities.

You eventually get to know the 30 or 40 people that come in every night.â€? The fundraising goal in Belleville in 2014 is $25,000, and the on-site registration for the event on February 22 begins at 4 p.m., with walks of 2 km, 5 km and 10 km expected to begin around 5:15 p.m., with each distance following a distinct route beginning on Front Street. Rest stops are also provided at the 2.5 km and 5 km marks to provide shelter, heat, a bathroom and snacks. Participants are advised to keep an eye on the weather forecast in the days leading up to the event, and will likely want to bring a warm jacket, a hat or toque and some gloves to the event. Between 70 and 80 per cent of funds raised is given directly to the partner charity in each event location. Blue Sea Philanthropy provides all of the operational, ďŹ nancial and promotional infrastructure for the events. For more information, or to register, visit www.coldestnightoftheyear. org.

Weather creates turmoil for Quinte Health Care By Jack Evans

News - If you think this unusual cold and snowy winter has rocked your normal household or work schedule, you should try running a hospital. Quinte Health Care’s (QHC) Board reviewed some of the impacts the current winter has had on both resources and finances at all four hospitals in the organization. This took place on Tuesday, Feb. 4, just at the time the board had hopes of balancing its budget for the current year. Apart from prolonged and bitter cold, injuries, mainly from a huge increase in motor vehicle accidents and slips on icy

surfaces have shot bed occupancy rates well above normals. About the only thing that has been avoided so far is a major outbreak of flu virus, the board was told, but Medical Chief of Staff Dr. Dick Zoutman commented, “That’s not over until the robin sings.� In some cases, staff could not get into work, straining available staff for extra hours or complete shifts at a time when the work load was sharply increased. “Average monthly volumes increased by as much as 20 per cent above normal in the inpatient medical unit and 45 per cent in the intensive care unit at Belleville General,� one report stated,

with information that similar conditions occurred at the other hospitals. Chief Nursing Officer Katherine Stansfield commented, “It has been a challenging winter, especially in the level of acute needs. We need to change our care model to allow for greater flexibility,� she suggested. “Accidents and injuries are way out of normal,� added director Stuart Wright. Even as the board reviewed the lingering impact of fierce snowstorms and intense cold, Dr. Zoutman reported a major outbreak of a bacterial infection in Belleville General’s maternity ward as of the previous day.

He said it is a serious contagious disease and is tying up a lot of hospital resources – financial, medical, nursing and housekeeping staff. The disease is treatable by penicillin, he said, anticipating it would be brought under control within a few days. The hospital is also partnering its efforts with the local health unit in extra screenings and patient education. Meanwhile, the board and staff are wrestling with a new budget, expected to be presented in draft form at its March meeting. Again, lack of precise funding data from the province is hindering efforts, but with educated guesses at this point, Finance Chair Karen Baker predicted the

board might have to wrestle with another looming deficit of about $5 million, with only “cautious optimism� that the board can finish the present year near break even. Chief Nursing Officer Stansfield also reported on the lack of success at getting more QHC medical and other staff to get annual flu vaccinations. While some modest gains in numbers were reported, both averages remain below 50 per cent. She reported “an extensive campaign� to encourage staff and physicians to get their flu shot, but added that, “QHC has not yet had an increase in staff sick time but the flu seasons is approaching.�

Modest increase for health unit budget By Jack Evans

News - A total budget increase of 1.3 per cent and a levy increase for participating municipalities of 1.8 per cent were confirmed by The Hastings and Prince Edward Counties Health Unit on Wednesday, Feb. 5. The actual total will be $15,400,349 for 2014, compared to $15,196,000 for 2013, an increase of just over $204,000. The board also reported a surplus from the previous year of $315,492. Following required policy, most of that will be returned either to the province or apportioned to municipal partners. Most of the board’s funding comes from the province, leaving a local apportionment of $3,171,277. Councillor Jack Miller of Belleville said the budget should meet the expectations of his municipality and others with an increase of less than two per cent. In other business, the board received with much interest an annual report on the “real cost of eating well in Hastings and Prince Edward Counties.� The report from a staff member stated

how a survey of typical nutritious food baskets, one each for a family of four and a single person was made of food stores throughout the two counties last spring, an average of about 60 food items. The result was a cost of more than $182 per week for a family of four, an 11 per cent increase of the past four years. This puts the cost of a good diet out of reach for many living on minimum wage or public support. It is also troubling for those facing other fixed expenditures including heat, electricity, telephone and transportation. The report pointed out: “A single male living on Ontario Works could spend most of his income on rent for a bachelor apartment. There would be little money left for food or other expenses.� Discussions noted the steadily increasing demands on local food banks and the need for advocacy by local councils to provincial and federal officials. “Income is one

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Swans by the bay and on the road ]I came home after dark the other night and as I rounded the curve I noticed what appeared to be something like boulders on the road ahead. I slowed down to a crawl and when I got up close I could see the lumps were white swans

sleeping on the snow-covered road. I guess they didn’t want to be late for breakfast. ]My biggest fear is that somebody that is unfamiliar with the situation is going to come upon the scene and not

Hydro, propane, oil; it’s all about the BTUs and neighbors have asked me if it would be worth while changing their fuel source, and every time I do the math, the cost for an hour’s worth of BTU comes out the same for any of the energy sources, give or take a few cents. In other words, the capital cost of changing a furnace would never see a cost benefit unless the change involved an older, less efficient furnace. Minor price variations between the energy sources do average out over time, so a change to another source is hard to justify. Now let’s look at what’s happening with Hydro rates. As Hydro costs rise to ridiculous heights because of the Ontario Liberals’ Illconceived energy policies, the price of energy (BTU) for other products will follow suit.

ing told we are getting old and need to be more careful and observant. Anyone over 80 knows that they have to be more careful and observant in order to avoid injury and live longer. I agree with the eye test and the written test but I think the lecture should consist of instruction on how to complete the written test and nothing more. It takes enough time to give the

eye test and mark the written test and anything that would shorten the meeting would be a good thing. When you reach 80, time becomes very valuable and should not be wasted on useless lectures. I would appreciate hearing opinions of other people who have to attend a meeting this year or have attended previous meeting as I have. Jack Knowles, Brighton

City to donate land for new Habitat for Humanity home News – Quinte West – A parcel of land previously owned by the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) in Trenton could be the site for another build for Habitat for Humanity Hastings-Prince Edward. “Staff has reviewed the city’s land inventory to determine if there is surplus city property suitable for the construction of a single family home,” reports Chief Administrative Officer Charlie Murphy. “There is one parcel of land located on the west side of Sidney Street

Related building permit fees, parkland dedication and development charges would be waived, as in previous donations. Staff would be directed to work with Habitat to investigate other opportunities to construct residential units on city owned land. “The city actively marketed the Sidney Street property for three years and was not able to finalize a sale,” Murphy notes.

Dear Editor: Recently there have been letters to the editor in some of the local papers complaining about fuel prices, and in particular the cost of propane. The answer is not as simple as some might suspect. True, the hard winter has placed some fuel sources in short supply, and this has caused some minor fluctuations in prices. The real answer is that we do not purchase propane, heating oil, or electricity. These are only the packaging of what we are really buying, and that is energy in the form of British Thermal Units (BTU). A recent comment by the financial editor of one of Canada’s major TV networks confirmed that it is indeed BTU that are traded on the markets. For some years now, friends

Dear Editor, I live on Lake Ontario near the inlet to Weller’s Bay and in all the years that I have lived here, I’ve never seen as many swans as there is this winter. There are hundreds and hundreds of them. When I’m outside, I can hear the whistling from their wings long before they fly by in a “V” formation and I’m always amazed to watch them land so graciously in the water. I counted a line of 23 swim by my front window the other day. Traffic on our road has increased tremendously since they arrived with many amateur photographers getting some awesome pictures of these beautiful birds. ]Unfortunately some people can’t leave well enough alone. One of my neighbours down the road, who lives near a 90 degree curve, has decided to feed the swans. I’m sure that he is doing this out of the goodness of his heart, and it’s a tremendous show for his children, but it’s very disconcerting to come around that curve and find the road covered with swans that have come up from the water. Stubborn swans. They won’t move. Not even if you blow your horn. If you creep up on them they usually will eventually move, but sometimes you have to get out of the car and try to scare them away. Sometimes they fight back. ]So why are they on the road? It appears they want to eat when they want to eat, not when the neighbour feels like feeding them because they are not only on the road, but they are on the north side on his front lawn and porch too.

“The property is zoned for a single family dwelling and located in a residential area.” The property once had a well on the property that provided municipal water. The well was decommissioned in 2007 and the land was declared surplus. The property has 20 metres of frontage and 583 metres of lot area, zoned R2-Residential Second Density. “There are other properties in the city’s ownership that may be appropriate for Habitat for Humanity,” noted Murphy. “However, further investigation is required prior to determining if the properties can be developed.” Murphy said there is city owned land at the north end of Wooler Road that may have potential. The property was acquired by tax sale. A draft plan for a subdivision was approved for this property in 1989. The approval was later rescinded due to sewage capacity issues. “The only issue with this property is that severing one lot off Wooler Road could jeopardize the potential for a subdivision development due to the proximity of Mayhew Creek,” he said. Murphy said another option would be to sever a lot from one of the city parks. “There are some city parks where a parcel of land may be able to be severed without jeopardizing the use of the park,” he added. The city also holds ownership of a few properties that have covenants on title, restricting the use of the property. Further investigation needs to occur to determine if the restrictions can be removed. Financial impact of donating the former PUC property includes the 2008 value of $35,000, the legal and survey costs of $3,000 and building and permit fees at $9,700. Habitat is working proactively in searching for properties to meet their needs for a five-year period.

OPINION

Connected to your community

The magnificent John Kerry

Editorial – John Kerry has been US Secretary of State for precisely one year, and he has already 1) rescued President Obama from his ill-considered promise to bomb Syria if it crossed the “red line” and used poison gas; 2) opened serious negotiations with Iran on its alleged attempt to build nuclear weapons; and 3) taken on the job of brokering an Israeli-Palestinian peace accord. Getting Obama off the hook was useful, and may yet lead to the US ending its support for the insurgency in Syria, which at this point would probably be the least bad outcome. Opening negoGwynne Dyer tiations with Iran was long overdue, and makes the nightmare prospect of an American or a joint US-Israeli air attack on Iran daily less likely. But even King Solomon and Avicenna (Ibn Sina), sitting jointly in judgment on the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, could not broker a peace accord there. Kerry is indefatigable. He has been to Israel/Palestine eleven times in the past year, and spent as much as a hundred hours face to face with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas or their close advisers. Unlike all the previous “brokers”, he has been astoundingly discreet: not a hint of what has been said in private has leaked into the public domain. And yet there is almost no hope of a real peace deal. If persistence in the face of all the odds were enough, Kerry would be the man who finally made it happen. (Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon recently complained that his approach is “obsessive and messianic.”) But Kerry has no leverage: he has to rely on the desire of the two leaders to make the “peace process” work, and it just isn’t there; not, at least, on any terms that both would find acceptable. The list of deal-breakers includes almost every topic under discussion: the borders of a Palestinian state, the future of the Jewish settlements in the occupied territories, whether Jerusalem can be the joint capital of Israel and Palestine, whether Israel can maintain a military presence in the Jordan Valley, the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their ancestral homes, and Israel’s demand that the Palestinians recognize it

as an explicitly Jewish state. This last demand, which was only raised in the past couple of years, seems deliberately designed to be unacceptable to the Palestinians. Not only are they required to acknowledge the legitimacy of the Israeli state (which they have already done), but also to give their blessing to the ethnic and religious character of that state. It is not normal in diplomacy for one state to comment upon the internal arrangements of another, let alone to give them its public support. Even the United States, Israel’s closest ally and supporter, does not officially recognize it as a “Jewish state.” The Israeli demand is an attempt to rub the Palestinians’ noses in their defeat, and why would you set out to do that if you really wanted a deal? The Palestinian insistence on a “right of return,” however rooted in natural justice, is equally self-defeating in practice. Everybody knows that a peace deal must mean compensation for the refugees of 1948 and their descendants, not a general right of return to what is now Israel, for that really would mean the end of the “Jewish state.” But no Palestinian leader has ever dared to say so out loud. So why, then, has John Kerry embarked on his quixotic mission to make the “peace process” work? It has been effectively dead for at least a dozen years, although it remains unburied because the pretense that it is still alive allows everybody to avoid hard decisions. But Kerry, with his nine-month deadline to achieve a comprehensive “final-status agreement” (which expires in April), is taking it seriously. His own explanation is lyrical but opaque: “I believe that history is not made by cynics. It is made by realists who are not afraid to dream.” But the business about “making history” – that, perhaps, is sincere. Kerry has had a long and interesting career as a senator, and even took a shot at the presidency, but this is probably his last big job, and he wants to make his mark. The French general Pierre Bosquet, watching the suicidal charge of the British Light Brigade in the Crimean War in 1854, said: “It is magnificent, but it is not war. It’s madness.” Kerry’s foredoomed quest for a final peace settlement between Israel and the Palestinians is magnificent too, in its own peculiar way, but it’s not diplomacy. It’s hubris.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Hydro’s smart meters are anything but Dear Editor, NOW you’re going to get it Beav!, er Hydro. You have managed to infuriate your mother! At church last Sunday, the church ladies were livid with the consternation you Hydro folks have caused them with your recent outrageous billings. “Why it was double what I paid for the same month last year!” one irate church lady cried. “Sometimes they don’t bill you at all - then suddenly you get a huge catch-up billing” said another. “How can ‘delivery’ exceed power consumption?” said a third lady. “I just got on to utilizing “Off-Peak” electricity and they changed the rules and bumped the price up!” said another visibly upset church lady. Wyley’s been down this road before. There’s over 11,000 people at Ontario Hydro making over $100,000 per year. How did they get so rich? Same way as all public service: powerful unions, incestuous and incompetent labour negotiators, a culture encouraging make-work without regard to effort and initiative, early retirement and ludicrously-rich pensions. And worst of all, a bunch of fat cats at the top whose biggest contribution is to come up with more ways to screw their customers.

For example: Smart Meters. I submit that they should be called Liar Meters. What if they were purposely built to magnify your hydro consumption? Sort of like the auto manufacturers who built their odometers to over-read mileage to the detriment of warranty claims. (And falsely inflate gas mileage too!). Maybe not all the Liar Meters, just enough to help meet the Sunshine payroll. Remember the guys who dreamed up the special billing to make up for the delay in billing you? What if they also figured out that skipping a few billing cycles on the old Liar Meter would get you to a massive catch-up billing, and every kWh over 3,000 loses you out on special discounts for delivery and the Ontario Clean Energy 10 per cent benefit program? Do you think they would be that devious? Well the Senior V/P of “People, Culture and Chief Ethics Officer” does require $467,208 per year, (in 2012), and it has to come from somewhere. Just saying. You get a bunch of little old ladies down in the church basement all riled up about Liar Meters and “COME THE REVOLUTION” may be imported to Ontario sooner than you can say Sunshine List.

Shhh, we don’t want to know just yet By Terry Bush Editorial - As I sit here trying to fill this space each week, there is usually somewhere else I’d rather be. This week, like many other folks, my preferred location would be smack dab in front of my television set. After all, how often do you get to watch our country’s finest athletes participate in the Olympics? The only problem this time round is that most of us know who won what ... before we get a chance to see it for ourselves. It’s kind of like finding out how the movie ends from some weenie walking out of the theatre while you’re walking in. But then again, unless you live in a cave without Internet access, it’s become pretty hard not to know what’s going on almost every minute of every day in this age of information. And when a lot of the action has taken place before you’ve even had your first sip of coffee in the morning, there really isn’t much hope. Turn on the radio on the way to work and you’ll hear who won gold while you were sleeping. Get to work, and someone will yell out, “We won another gold and a silver.” If you happen to have read a certain French publication, you’ve already got a pretty good idea who might win the ice dancing competition. To some it might sound like a bit of a conspiracy theory but when someone says the Americans and Russians have a deal in place to try to block the Canadians from gold, one might actually believe it. It’s not like a bit of collusion hasn’t taken place between countries in the past. Many of us who have played competitive sports put the judged sports a little farther down the list compared to the others. While they’re certainly entertaining, we’d much prefer to watch head to head racing or spend our time watching a sport that has a clear winner ... first across the line, fastest time, longest jump, that kind of sport. While the athleticism of sports such as figure skating and freestyle skiing may be a joy to watch, the results can sometimes be a little baffling especially when a competitor who falls places higher than someone who didn’t. In the back of my mind I wonder how many people still think Elizabeth Manley should have won gold instead of Katarina Witt at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Calgary. You’ve got to love watching both men’s and women’s short track speed skating, the NASCAR of the skating world, for its speed and crashes. Ski jumping is as close to flying as a person can get without a parachute. And from the talk around the office, the men’s hockey championship is the event we’re all waiting for yet again. Not to slight the women’s event but all things considered, hockey isn’t hockey unless someone is decked by a good clean bodycheck once in awhile and who can deny that most of the excitement is in the playoff rounds. Does anyone really think the Canadian women’s team won’t be playing the Americans in the final? It will be a great game of course, and we’ll cheer the women on and be proud as can be if they win gold but women’s hockey really isn’t at the point yet where we’d consider winning silver a good thing. It’s gold or nothing until the rest of the world catches up to its North American counterparts. Judging from the early games, they’re getting closer but aren’t quite there yet. While the men’s side will pit millionaire against millionaire, it is of some consolation to the rest of us that the hockey teams will stay in the athlete’s village with our other athletes. Welcome back to the world of Junior hockey and dorm rooms, boys. Never hurts to remember where you came from. Day four and Canada leads the Olympics’ medal count. And with the prediction that Canada will win a medal every day of these Olympics because of the way events are scheduled, it’s a good time to be Canadian. Not that I have to mention that to anyone who saw sisters Justine and Chloe Dufour-Lapointe on the podium after finishing in the top two spots in women’s moguls. Their faces said it all. The TV beckons.

Kerik said the fair seems to be a popular spot for employers for a variety of reasons. “For the employer, sometimes you can’t weed employees out just by a resume,” she said. “It’s their opportunity to find out what they want to know approximately 70 per cent of the 52 employers on hand at about perspective employees ... also, the fair were actively hiring.

This is giving them access to our full student body and our graduates.” Kerik said that they encourage their students to be prepared and to dress appropriately for the career fair, and that leading up to the event the college career centre offers a variety of services for students, including conducting mock interviews and reviewing resumes. When asked if there was a common mistake students make during the application process, Kerik didn’t have to think for long. “Not targeting to the employer that they want (is a common mistake),” she said. “A lot of students are still under the impression that having one resume for every single job they want to apply for is ok, and they’re not highlighting relevant skills that they have. That’s the biggest mistake we see, targeting is so important in today’s career market.” First-year police foundations student Amber McGill said she was specifically looking for work in the correctional and justice fields, and said the fair seemed to have plenty of options for her to peruse. “You get to see the person one on one, and they get to see and meet you,” she said, when asked what she saw the advantages of a career fair as being. “It’s not just like a piece of paper you hand in and they know nothing about you, you can make that first impression.”

Hitting the greens in support of cancer care By Steve Jessel

News – Belleville – While summer might be a ways off, the Belleville General Hospital Foundation (BGHF) and Williams Hotels are trying to get golfers back into the swing of things early by announcing the Williams Hotels Swing Fore Cancer Dr. Mac Charity Golf Tournament this past week. Taking place on June 5 at Black Bear Ridge Golf Club, the 2014 tournament aims to raise funds for the BGHF to purchase much-needed

medical equipment at Belleville General Hospital to help support cancer patients. The event is entering its third year after taking 2013 off, and Williams Hotels vice-president Ryan Williams said he expects the 2014 run to be the largest yet. “We’ve always done it for BGH, and with this one, we’ve morphed a little bit more with BGH Foundation and it’s going to probably be about three or four times larger in terms of numbers,� Williams said. “It’s a bigger

event in terms of what it’s for, how it’s specialized, working with BGH Foundation speciďŹ cally, and what we’re trying to raise money for.â€? Director of special events for the BGHF Sue Rollins said the hope to surpass the $29,000 raised the last time the tournament was run, but above all said she hopes the golfers enjoy

themselves out on the links. “100 percent of (funds raised) will go to new equipment throughout the hospital,� she said. “With cancer care I know a lot of people think the oncology clinic, but almost every department throughout the hospital in some way touches cancer care. It’s equipment for many different departments.�

Registration is $250, and includes 18 holes of golf at Black Bear Ridge, lunch and dinner provided by Dem Bones Smoke Shack & Sports Bar, and a number of surprises along the course. Score cards are optional. Online registration begins February 14, or to register by phone, call the BGHF at 613969-7400 ext. 2073.

Frank Meyers supporters still going strong despite conflict By Kate Everson

News – Quinte West – It’s been a bitter winter. And nobody knows that better than the group of Frank Meyers supporters hunkering down in front of his farm. The farm is slated to be expropriated by the federal government to make way for an expansion of CFB Trenton. “This is not just any farm,� noted NDP Member of Parliament Paul Dewar, who drove from Ottawa on Sunday with his wife Julia to show support. “We want our

grandchildren to know this history. The good Captain Meyers fought the good fight and was honoured with this land. It’s about our future and what’s right.� Dewar said he will raise the question in the House of Commons. He said the government should not be threatening our farmers. “Why can’t they see fit to include this farmland in the future prosperity of Canada?� he asked. He said the government needs to hear the voice of

However, if you were exposed at an early age, don’t get discouraged. There are other things that you can do. This brings us to the next Key of tooth decay, sugar, which we’ll discuss next time. Please stay tuned.

A lot of us are tired with the government walking all over us.� Laurie Willicombe from Belleville wore a high maple leaf hat and wore a big Canada flag. She said, “It’s just not right. There is no need for this. There is enough land wasted. Forever means forever.� Melissa Crowder from Iroquois said this is the fourth week she has come to support Frank Meyers with her sister Lisa. “We are heading in the right direction,� she said. “The number of supporters is increasing. Frank is getting the publicity he deserves. I pray it will make a difference. This is about love and unity and compassion.� A VIA train sped by on the tracks and people started waving their flags. The train blew its horn in support. Frank Meyers sat in his truck out of the cold wind until the arrival of MP Paul Dewar, then sat proudly with him and his supporters. “This land was granted to the Meyers family by King George the third in May, 1798. Forever,� reads a statement by Frank Meyers. “I have been resisting the expropriation for over six years and it was not until it became viral on the Internet that many people came forward to assist me. Most of the people I have met over the past four months claimed they do not read the local papers in my area and were not aware of what the government and the Department of National Defence were trying to do. But they are aware now and have promised to stand beside me in my claim. As of February 8, 2014, the Facebook page which was started in my behalf has the support of 52,465 people.� Frank said no money has changed hands with the DND. “I do not wish to be paid, in any amount of money, for my land,� he states. “It is not for sale.� Frank said a lawyer was retained for him through the DND and Frank was told “there is no way of me keeping my land.� “It is my belief this lawyer may not be representing my wishes,� he said.

Captain John Walden Meyers was at the farm dressed in full military uniform in the form of Douglas Knutson of Windswept Productions, with his wife Carolyn. “I am following this story to the end,� he said. “I was at the expropriation hearing in 2012 and it was so discouraging. There was nobody supporting him except his family. Now they are here.� He wondered if it was too late. He said the original Captain Meyers stood up for what he believed even though his farm was confiscated twice, once by a cousin and again by the British. “The stories are similar,� he smiled. “There is a link to this family.� Supporters stood around bonfires in a barrel and kept warm while the winds of winter blew through. Hotdogs and hot coffee kept them warm inside, but for how long? “We are here to support Frank’s farm,� said Robin Bender from Waterloo with Margaret Collin-Clapp from Demorestville. “This is prime farmland.

St. Mary Catholic School gets in the spirit of helping others News – Quinte West – Students at St. Mary Catholic School in Trenton are staying in the spirit of helping others and having fun at the same time. “Last week was Spirit Week at St. Mary’s,� says Vice Principal Lisa Romano. “It was a week to remember!� The children showed off their spirit

by participating in a number of fun and socially conscious activities. Each day had a different focus to showcase their spirit as well as learn about and support different social justice causes such as the Humane Society and Neo-Natal care at Belleville General Hospital. Day One was Western Day as students came together in the gym to dance the

Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics in Sochi. St. Mary’s had its own miniOlympics as each class was assigned a country and students represented what they learned about the culture of that country by decorating their classroom doors. They also competed in hockey games and at the end of the day points were accumulated for school spirit. Three teams stood at the podium: Gold – Finland – Mrs. Miller’s class Suzanne Cowan dances with her daughter Emma (centre) and Olivia and won a sundae party; Silver – Nevaeh in the Dance-athon.

Cotton Eyed Joe. Day Two was Toonie Twinsey Tuesday as students paired up as twins and brought toonies to donate to the neo-natal department at BGH. They raised $450, which will be used to buy baby blankets, hats and clothes for newborns. Day Three was Animal Day as students dressed in animal prints or wore some sort of animal logo. This day was used to make students aware of the needs of animal shelters. In support of the Quinte Humane Society, students brought in over 400 items, including blankets, pet food, toys and towels, as well as over $140 in Canadian Tire money for their furry friends. Day Four was Pink Day to Celebrate the Hero. Grades Four to Six heard guest speaker Phil Kerr talk about staying positive and living your dreams despite obstacles. Primary students were visited by Brittany, who read them a story about Kapernakus, a boy who was bullied, and what we can do to stop bullying. A total of 299 students and staff wore pink in support of living every day as a hero! Day Five was Olympic St. Mary teacher Mrs. Cotnam dances with Kaleigh, Brooklyne, Jordyn, Hailey and Kem in the Day, as February 7 was the Dance-athon. Photo: Kate Everson By Kate Everson

submitted to the Ontario Power Authority dated December 13, 2013. The follow-up application fee and hardcopy has also been sent and received within the ďŹ ve-day window. The status is under review. “The city of Quinte West must now create a forward looking plan and have it in place by July 1, 2014,â€? he noted. This is all part of regulations, which came about through the Green Energy Act of 2009. The city must have an energy conservation and demand management plan and make it available on its website and to the public. “There is no penalty for non-compliance at this point,â€? he added. “But we may miss out on future incentives if the Ministry chooses to view your website and you have not published your data or have a plan in place.â€?

arena once a week, an hour and a half off ice and the same on ice. Their coach is Janice Beer. The team competed at Ontario Winterfest in Mississauga and the regionals in Waterloo. Tinsley said the girls enjoyed being in Batawa skating for the ďŹ rst time on the outside ice. The ice surface was too small to do their competitive number but the team invented a new number to ďŹ t the parameters. “The girls had a ball,â€? she smiled. “We are so grateful to be invited.â€? She added the girls want to thank Captain Jeff Moorhouse and the City of Quinte West crew who kept the ice clear between blizzards.

proach to it with additions coming in for Ministry targets, goals and objectives.â€? He adds the city needs to be pro-active and create a culture around energy management and conservation. It needs to have a procurement policy and all purchases of equipment that consume energy must be subject to a mandatory check-list, which includes a life-cycle analysis, before and after consumption data. “We need to set speciďŹ cations on new buildings and renovations in regards to lighting, HVAC, insulation, windows, and more,â€? he said. Forder suggested the city conduct a survey or audit on all its facilities especially heating, lighting and pumping. Local students from Loyalist College could do this survey. Forder presented graphs showing energy use in the city, which showed the Trenton ďŹ re hall as being the highest above the median. In terms of water waste of energy per square foot the Frankford and Trenton Wastewater Treatment Plants and four Trenton pump stations were far above the median. Forder said the city needs to create an energy reserve fund from rebate initiatives and revenue from solar roof top projects. He also suggested the city create an Energy Conservation and Demand Management Steering Committee.

Students looking forward to Dominican Republic trip

By Kate Everson

News – Quinte West – Twelve students from St. Paul Catholic Secondary School will have a life-changing experience after spending a week in the Dominican Republic on February 21 to 28. “This is an encounter with faith and hospitality,� explains chaplain Claire Marchand. “They are billeted with local families. It can change a person, change

a life.� She said the students have true encounters with the residents, hear stories, see how they live and study the system. They see how a family lives on a dollar a day, cutting sugar cane or working in sweat shops. “The students will be speaking to the people,� she added. “It’s amazing how # they can communicate without speaking

the language.� She added they have guides and interpreters for this Spanish and French speaking country. “We have taken many precautions,� she noted. “Students are well protected. We have many guides and all the families are checked out. Students are not allowed to go anywhere alone and there is a curfew.�

TH & Students are excited about their upcoming trip: Front: Samantha Lawson (teacher), Chloe Houston, Courtney Allan, Aly Morris, Krystal Atkins. Back: Maria Morris, Erin Birch, Ashley MacIntyre, Samara Gauthier, Murielle Cornect, Karly Clark, Brett Green (teacher.) Photo: Kate Everson

Students applied to come on this trip, which is put on by the school every two years. They must explain why they want to come and give three references including approval from their parents. It costs each student $1,700 for the trip but this is supplemented by fundraisers such as a silent auction and dinner put on by the school and donations from Knights of Columbus and Nicholson Catholic College Corporation. “We have been doing the trips to Dominican for over twenty years,� Marchand notes. “It’s always the same place. We know it’s safe. It’s also special. We get to know the families. Some of the friendships made are still ongoing today.� She describes the people as friendly, warm and embracing. “It’s a wonderful experience,� she

says. “Students have no cell phones, no TV or computers. They have time to listen to each other. They experience more joy there. They learn they can count on each other.� Marchand says often when the students come home they feel lonely. They get back into their desensitized worlds and miss the community they felt in Domincan. “Some pick careers in international development or take up nursing or become doctors because of this experience,� she added. When the students come back they will share their stories with their class and the organizations that donated as well as with the whole school. “Then we start again putting in applications for the next trip,� she smiles.

News – Belleville – Belleville’s International Women’s Day Committee have announced their 2014 plans, and in March a trio of events will help celebrate the day through art, media and the spoken word. This year, International Women’s Day falls on March 8, and beginning on March 4 the annual International Women’s Day Community Art Show graces the halls of the Core Centre Gallery until March 15. The open-

ing reception takes place on March 4 from 5 to 8 p.m., and Women’s Day committee member Mieke Thorne said the organizers are still looking for additional artists to take place, male or female, young or old. For many, the most memorable feature of Belleville’s Women’s Day celebrations is the march through the downtown core, and in 2014 that march will take place on the Wednesday leading into International Women’s Day, Please see “Women’s� on page 15

11:15 a.m. for the annual march, and Thorne said everyone was welcome to join the committee in celebrating women’s day, man or woman. “It’s important because we can do this, but women in many other countries cannot,� Thorne said. “We are lucky to be able to do this.� Women’s Day event in Belleville will wrap up on March 8, when the committee will host a screening of Girl Rising, a feature film following the stories of nine young women across the globe and their efforts to change the world. Refreshments will be served following the film and there will also be time for community discussion. “We celebrate when you think about how far we have come,� Thorne said. “A drop in the ocean is better than no drop.�

Sports – Two members of the Quinte Judo Club battled it out in their respective divisions on the weekend, at the annual Budokan Judo Championships held in Whitby. Michelle Currie won both of her matches to earn the gold medal in the girls U-11 orange belt division. Michelle ended both of her matches early, by throwing her opponent and following through by pinning her down. Paul Bunge had a tough go of it, by losing his first match in the boys U-14 orange belt division. A strong and fast leg technique got him through the next four matches, including defeating an opponent he had lost to at several other competitions. Paul lost his final match to the same one who beat him in his first round, earning him the silver medal. This event included those trying to qualify for the Provincial Judo Team. Paul Bunge will likely take a shot in that division next year, with another year’s experience under his belt. Michelle Currie will have to wait a bit longer (till she is old enough), however she is undoubtedly top tree in Ontario currently for her age category. The Quinte Judo club holds practice twice a week @ the Franck Masonic Lodge, in Frankford. All ages are welcome.

A play by My Theatre in Trenton was incorrectly named in last week’s Quinte West News. The name should be Love, Sex and the IRS. We apologize for the error and any confusion it caused.

Quinte West Track Club on Red Devils Report target at big time meet Sports – Quinte West – A contingent of Quinte West Track Club (QWTC) athletes competed in the Brampton Bullets Invitational Indoor Track and Field Meet held this past weekend at York University. The team proved it can compete with some of the best athletes in Toronto and surrounding area by bringing home one first-place, two second-place and two third-place medals along with a fourth- and sixth-place ribbon. The team consists of over 35 members from Quinte West, Brighton, Stirling and Belleville. The team is prepping for the upcoming MTA (Minor Track Association) Provincial Championships being held on March 30. Coach Duncan Armstrong remarked, “We have a great bunch of kids and great support from the parents who assisted in helping at today’s meet. The meet attracted close to 350 athletes ranging in ages between six and twelve.” The highlight of the day for the QWTC members was meeting up with former Canadian Olympic High Jumper, Mark Boswell. Boswell was very encouraging with the kids and was pleased to learn about the new Doug Whitley Track and the creation of the community club. QWTC sensation, Leaugen Fray also competed the following day at the Athletics Ontario preparatory meet held at York University but results were not

Foley Bus Lines - Minor Atom Sports – The Foley Bus Lines Minor Atoms split a pair of games this past weekend in ETA action. Friday night the QRD’s travelled to Oshawa where they pulled out a 4-3 win. Finding the twine was Connor Hunt, Trevor Hoskin, Liam Filip and Cooper Matthews while Corbin Votary tended the cage. Picking up assists were Isaac Brown with 2, Nathan Woods, Owen Gibson, Matthews and Rheydan McCoy. Sunday at home versus the Ajax-Pickering the Foley boys outworked and outshot the Raiders but just couldn’t get the bounces in a 5-2 loss. Scoring for the Devils was Marcus Asimis and Kendrick Webster while Hoskin, Matthews, Hunt and Blake Ellis picked up the assists. Andrew Munro took the loss between the pipes. The team closes out the season with three games against Clarington one against Whitby, the exact teams that they are fighting with for that first seed in the east. Catch the home action versus Clarington on Saturday, Feb. 15 at 1 p.m. at the Wally and then again Wednesday, Feb. 19 at 6:15 p.m. in rink B. Duvanco Homes – Bantam The Duvanco Homes Bantams finished the regular season with a convincing 4 - 1 victory over the 2013 OMHA Champions from York-Simcoe, earning first place honours in the ETA East. It was the third time they have faced the Express since narrowly losing the OMHA final last March, and the result has been the same in all three games – victory. Tanner Sheppard scored the first two goals for Quinte, and Keegan Ferguson and Brady Gilmour added insurance goals, while Colin VanDenHurk, Dominic Della Civita, Nick Hoey, Aidan McFarland, Mackenzie Warren, Shelby Rienstra, and Gilmour added assists. Anthony Popovich provided solid goaltending for the Red Devils. Earlier in the week they defeated the Central Ontario Wolves and the Greater Kingston Frontenacs on back-to-back nights. On Thursday night in Belleville, it was a 2-1 victory over Central, the Red Devils played a tight defensive game with goals coming from Nick Hoey and Jakob Brahaney. Assists were contributed by Ryan Fraser, Brady Gilmour, Aidan McFarland and Brahaney. Aidan Cameron provided solid goaltending for Quinte. On Friday night in Kingston, it was a lopsided 8-1 win. Tanner Sheppard and Brady Gilmour both had four-point games with two goals and two assists each, Nick Hoey had three assists, and Aidan McFarland scored twice. Single goals came from Brock Bronson, and Dominic Della Civita. Colin VanDenHurk, Keegan Ferguson, Mackenzie Warren, Elliott McDermott and Della Civita also added assists. Anthony Popovich handled the goaltending duties for the Red Devils. Playoffs begin this week with a six point series against Kingston. McInroy Maines Construction – Minor Midget The McInroy Maines Quinte Red Devils Minor Midget Hockey Club completed the regular season with losses to Whitby and Clarington. The team finished in sixth place in the ETA East division with an overall record of 7-19-9. The Minor Midget Devils now face Oshawa and Central Ontario in a four-game playoff. In game 1 on Saturday, Quinte defeated Oshawa on the road in an ugly, penaltyfilled affair by a score of 8-1. In game 2 at the Quinte Centre on Sunday, Central got an early lead and never looked back, leaving town with a 5-0 win.

On The Rocks: Trenton Curling Club news in Hamilton for an over-night stop. The catch is that in order to participate, an entrant must raise at least $2,500 in donations.

Sports - The club has been exceptionally busy this past week, as two 8 Wing units organized bonspiels, Bayside Elementary and Trenton High School students participated in curling classes, and the Ontario Curling Association chose our ice for their two day Men and Women’s Senior Championships. Truly a week of novice to expert curling which made selecting a focal point for this week’s column difficult. I chose novice of a different kind. Due to the blowing snow last Saturday evening, I expected the scheduled event to have been cancelled. I certainly didn’t expect to see 45 young people in a variety of costumes in Shorty’s Lounge and on the ice. So, what was the occasion? It was a fund-raiser called Ride To Conquer Cancer, organized by Jillien Zeppa (formerly of Belleville) and Alex Grant (Toronto). Ride is a two-day 200-kilometer bike ride from Toronto to Niagara Falls, using one of five different routes. All riders link up

To meet their goal, Jillien and Alex plan to host several fun activities before the May 21st entry deadline, and chose curling at our club for their

inaugural event. Their goal was to raise at least $500. The participants were all high school friends and recent post-secondary graduates just beginning their careers. They came together for friendship and fun in support of a very worthy cause, and for all but two of the 45 participants, this was their first curling experience. The spiel was quite simple. Normal curling rules, with an envelope at conclusion of each end to state which rocks would count, for example all rocks behind the T-line.

Between ends, some participants snuck back to the lounge to purchase slices of Tomasso’s pizza, with the profits going to the cause. So who won? The Princess Margaret Hospital’s Campbell Family (Cancer) Research Institute, as the first event in their quest to ride raised $850. One of the nice things about hanging around our club with a camera and notebook is the opportunity to meet some amazing people. This was one of those occasions to see young professionals,

probably still loaded down with student debts, come out in support of a cause and helping to make a difference. If you would like to learn more about this Ride, go to www.gonquercancer.ca . Better yet, why not make an online donation at the site in support of one or both of these young riders. Next week: how our Little Rocks fared at the Campbellford Classic Youth Curling Bonspiel.

Those costs, which the provincial government has projected will increase by 42 per cent over ďŹ ve years, have become too much of a burden on residents and threaten to “cripple business and industry in Ontario,â€? council said in its resolution, which was circulated throughout the province. Other municipalities as well as regions and counties, including Northumberland, have given their support to the Trent Hills resolution, and Macmillan said he had received “a lot of compliments from ... taxpayers who are really happyâ€? council acted as it had, even though “it wasn’t necessarily our responsibility.â€? But the municipality is also “a large consumer of electricity,â€? spending more than $700,000 on hydro last year, he added. A 42 per cent increase “puts us over a million dollars, that’s more than a three per cent tax increase alone just to pay for the proposed hydro rates.â€?

In spite of calls for technical assistance they could not get it going properly and resorted to traditional manpower for the starting signal. The club is grateful to Les Nieman from Frankford, who carried out the starter’s job with calm and consistency throughout the course of races. Professional race announcer Jessica Milton of Peterborough was on the microphone, clearly heard and engaged with the crowd and riders. Similarly the computer program club members had hoped would make managing the event simpler did not live up to expectations. Milton said she could not get names and statistics combined together. At the end of the day riders from as far away as Detroit and Ottawa had covered the track. The final prize, King of the Ice, went to Krystal Sanders riding an 800cc. special Polaris Assault. Major sponsors this year for all races were Bay-Marine (Ski-Doo), Bont-

ers (Polaris), Deer Haven Farm and Garden (Polaris), and Hastings Resort and Steakhouse of Gilmour with the announcer’s trailer supplied by Get Quick Trailers of Belleville. The Tweed Recreational Sport and Lawn Club and Paterson Auto Parts of Madoc also contributed. McDonald’s of Madoc supplied the coffee while local non-profit groups assisted. The Lion’s Club of Madoc hosted the food booth, the Madoc Agricultural Society manned the gate while the Kiwanis Club of Madoc and O’Hara Mills Pioneer Homestead volunteers managed security and garbage control. These four agencies will receive proceeds from the event. A number of financial institutions contributed funds to support the races, including TD/Canada Trust, Invesco Canada, and 1A Clarington Investments. For those hoping to race again, the Sharbot Lake club is hosting its ice drags this weekend. Snowmobile enthusiasts of all ages were out. Photo: Diane Sherman

News – Warkworth – The Percy Agricultural Society has decided to “go hog wild” for this year’s Warkworth Fair. That’s the theme for the 164th edition of the annual event that will take place in September, when Jen’s Funny Farm Celebrity Racing Pigs will be the feature attraction. The Oshawa owners of the hillbilly show, Ken and Jen Lasalle, have travelled across Canada with their petting zoo and racing pigs, and supplied animals for television shows. The agricultural society will be looking to build upon last year’s success when the organization “ended up with a good financial situation ... we got money in the bank,” president Greg Torrance said. “That’s not always the case.”

same day as the Long Lunch. It’s getting old and another one will have to take its place, rather than try to make repairs to the building, Torrance said. The agricultural society intends to hold a couple of new fundraisers later this year to begin setting aside money for construction of a new building, and an application will be made for grants to defray some of the costs. “It takes pretty well the village to run this fair,” Torrance said, and that includes community groups and local residents who support the fair. It’s a village “with a big heart,” he said. This year’s fair will also mark the 25th anniversary of the Truck Show and Shine. Its long-serving organizer, Bill Newman, “has done a great job for us,” Torrance said.

The fair board will need the money it earned and more to make various improvements to the fairgrounds it has planned. Projects include replacing the building where the petting zoo is housed, and making the horse ring a permanent structure by installing fences, said Torrance, who’s in his second year as president. “It’s a matter of finishing it off and getting it done in a way that it will look attractive and be a proper setup (so) we can have horse shows any time ... more than once a year.” It will also “cut down on a lot of work that we have to do on fair weekend,” Torrance added. Another project for the longer term is replacing the long red building known as the cow palace, where the beef show is staged and the street market that takes place the

News – Peterborough County Five Rice Lake anglers have been fined a total of $5,000 for illegal fishing activities. Vincent Vanstone of Newcastle, John Rundle of Bowmanville, Gregory Topolie of Courtice, Donald Mowry of Bobcaygeon and Cornelieus Koppens of Port Hope pleaded guilty and were fined $1,000 each for catching and keeping over-sized walleye. A press release from the On-

tario Ministry of Natural Resources stated that court heard that conservation officers observed a group of anglers staying at a Rice Lake cabin from November 1 to 3, 2013. Officers stopped the men as they left and discovered they had caught and kept a number of walleye larger than the fishing regulations allowed. Justice of the Peace Jack LeBlanc heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice, Port Hope on

January 28. For further information on fishing regulations, please consult the 2014 Recreational Fishing Regulations Summary, available at ontario. ca/fishing. To report a natural resources violation, call 1-877-TIPS-MNR (8477667) toll-free any time or contact your local ministry office during regular business hours.

Thursday, February 13, 2014, 9am - 4 pm Knights of Columbus Hall, 57 Stella Cres., Trenton

This year the organizers have partnered with Syngenta to bring you a key-note speaker. Victor Aideyan is an internationally known name in the commodity world. Victor is currently the Senior Risk Management Consultant and Head of Strategic Planning at HISGRAIIN Commodities Inc. a provider of Agricultural Commodities and Renewable Energy Marketing and Strategic Planning Consulting Services. Victor’s area of expertise encompasses marketing and price risk for pork producers as well as for producers of corn and soybeans. Victor has made numerous presentations to groups across the USA and Canada and is a sought-after speaker who possesses considerable experience when it comes to explaining and sharing his knowledge of marketing price risk and strategies for addressing this problem. You will not want to miss Victor’s key-note address immediately after lunch. The morning seminars begin at 10:30 am. A hot topic whenever farmers get together is energy costs and this winter the added issue of energy supply. Paul Cuddy, Territory Account Manager with Superior Propane is our guest. The objective of Paul’s presentation is threefold. One, to inform people about the basics of propane and the propane B6 EMC Section B - Thursday, February 13, 2014

industry. Two, to discuss what has been happening this winter with propane shortages. And three, to let people know how they can avoid the erratic propane pricing in the colder months, whether it’s for crop drying, home heat, shop heat, or whatever. The second morning speaker will be Eric Lawlor with the Ontario Soil & Crop Improvement Association (OSCIA). Eric is the local Workshop Leader for OSCIA who will bring people up-to-date with the Government’s Growing Forward 2 programs. In addition to the educational components Eric will speak about potential funding opportunities for farmers, how to apply, and the new intake dates. All producers will need this information to apply for funding. Not to be missed after the morning seminars and visiting with your local suppliers is the delicious hot roast beef dinner available at noon at a nominal charge. Wrapping up the speakers program in the afternoon will be a hands-on operator of robotic miking. Dave Verberg of SandyCreek Farms will speak from experience. Dave owns a single A4 Astronaut robot, and is in a Coverall Barn with sand bedding. He installed the robot in the summer of 2012, so he has considerable experience. Dave will be accompanied by Levi Dejong from Lely in what promises to be an entertaining and informative presentation. This is an emerging technology that promises huge potential to dairy producers. The Quinte Farm and Trade Show 2014 is not to be missed. A full house of local agribusiness exhibitors; timely, topical and up-to-the-minute seminars; a great hot roast beef dinner; socialize with your fellow producers and friends.

Trade show runs from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm with a full house of over 45 local exhibitors.

The 2014 edition of the Quinte Farm and Trade Show is just around the corner and promises to be better than ever. The trade show runs from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm with a full house of 45 local exhibitors.

This year's speakers and topics are especially interesting and important in this era of declining commodity prices, high energy costs, new technologies, and government programs available to help the farming industry.

TRAVEL

By John M. Smith

A visit to the Acropolis in Athens

Lifestyles - Now that the Winter Olympics are in full swing, I’m reminded of Greece, where the Olympic movement actually began. The ancient Greeks held sporting competitions that dated from 776 BC and the excavated ruins of the ancient stadium are still visible here today. However, if you ever visit Athens, Greece, there’s also another tourist attraction that you just can’t miss, and it’s the Acropolis. You’ll find the remains/ruins of several ancient buildings of great architectural and historical significance perched high up on a hill, overlooking the city of Athens and dominating the scene will be the Parthenon itself, certainly one of the greatest cultural

monuments ever built. Pericles coordinated the construction of the site’s major buildings way back in the 5th century BC, including its Parthenon (a large temple dedicated to Athena), Propylaia (the monumental gateway at the entrance to the Acropolis), Erechtheum (a temple dedicated to both Athena and Poseidon), and the Temple of Athena Nike (a smaller four column Ionic temple located on the southwest corner of the Acropolis). These architectural wonders have endured decay, pollution and wars, but they have also undergone several revitalizations and restorations and the remnants of these ancient structures can still be visited today.

I discovered the remains of an outdoor theatre, the Theatre of Dionysus, a major open-air theatre, and the partially reconstructed Theatre of Herodes Atticus, a steep-sloped amphitheatre. The latter is the better preserved but both are incredible historic sites. I also wandered out to Areopagus, a rock located beneath the summit and from here I was rewarded with a spectacular view of the city of Athens, spread out far below. I could see the Plaka

from which I’d ascended to get to the Acropolis, the Monistaraki, the flea market area of Athens, the Agora,the principal market area, Omonia, a major square in the centre of Athens, a few remaining columns of the once humungous Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Olympic Stadium, the ancient cemetery, and the National Gardens. I thought that this particular rock would be a great place from which to watch a sunset, too. After my exploration of the

Acropolis, I descended back down the rather steep pathway and I found that the view looking up to the Acropolis from far below, was still very impressive. Back in 2007, the Acropolis was formally proclaimed “the preeminent monument on the European Cultural Heritage list of monuments”. This sacred rocky hill is the most significant reference point of ancient Greek culture, and its monuments are not to be missed architectural and artistic achievements.

R0012554106

The Temple of Erechtheum is also located on the Acropolis.

I walked from the Plaka, the oldest section of Athens located at the foot of the Acropolis, up to the summit. It’s a rather crowded climb, for there are lots of tourists here and the marble and rocks encountered on the pathways along the route can be quite slippery. I then enjoyed my own up close and personal view of the Acropolis. What a sight! It‘s just so incredible to be viewing something so magnificent and old! In Canada, we marvel at a century home, a building that has been around for 100 years, but here I was seeing the ruins/ remains of structures built well over 2,000 years ago The Parthenon is, indeed, the main attraction and it’s one of the most recognizable structures in the world. Some say it’s the most perfect building ever constructed, with each intricate piece cleverly fitting together as in a giant, heavy jigsaw puzzle. Like Egypt’s pyramids, I couldn’t help but marvel at how an ancient civilization could construct such an awesome structure without all our modern tools and equipment. As subsequent centuries have passed, the Parthenon has been converted from an ancient Greek temple to a mosque, a Christian church, and even a storage facility for gunpowder. Now it’s again undergoing lengthy restoration work and is Athens’ major tourist attraction. I also checked out the nearby Erechtheum, where I saw the Porch of the Caryatids. I learned that the female sculptures (caryatids) displayed here are actually copies, for most of the originals have been placed in the Acropolis Museum with one placed in the British Museum.

The Parthenon was built in the 5th century BC.

Your Mother is always with you. She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street, she's the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself, she's the cool hand on your brow when you're not feeling well, she's your breath in the air on a cold winter's day. She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colours of a rainbow, she is Christmas morning. Your Mother lives inside your laughter. She's the place you came from, your first home, and she's the map you follow with every step you take. She's your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you. Not time, not space . . . . . . . . . not even death!
