Quinte West speeds up process for baseball and soccer lights BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton – Quinte West is hoping to get lights installed sooner than later on the new baseball diamond and soccer field at Centennial Park, in time for the summer sports season. Quinte West city council approved Chris Angelo’s request, director of public works, on Monday Apr. 3, to make an exemption to the purchasing policy and get three quotes for light poles and fixtures instead of a formal tender process, which would take until mid to end of August. “What we realized as of March 20, as soon as council approved installing lights on both the soccer field and ball diamond, was that the suppliers had indicated to us 10 to 12 weeks delivery periods,” said Angelo. “If I included the fixtures and poles as part of an overall tender it would mean that by the time I got the tender out and the tender awarded that we wouldn’t be able to get the lights installed prior to the playing season of July.” Deviating from the tender process by requesting three quotes, which is still a competitive process, said Angelo, allows the city to speed up the delivery timeframe. The quote process closed on Wednesday Apr. 5. “It looks to me as though I’ll be able to issue the purchase order today or tomorrow and it’s hopeful we will have those lights installed by the end of June at the latest,” said Angelo. “We’re getting close to accepting one (quote), and from all indications they can hopefully have the poles and fixtures here in about 10 weeks.” Quinte West city council allocated $200,000 for lights at the Bayshore field baseball diamond and $200,000 for lights to the

new soccer field. Angelo estimated that the project will come in under budget. “Between both the soccer and the ball diamond, the poles and fixtures were somewhere around the $200,000 for both of them,” he said. “We still have to put the wiring in, install them, align them, get all the permits from electric safety authority, all that kind of thing, so it looks to me right now that we’re definitely going to be under budget, I don’t know how much though.” Electro Cables in Trenton also offered to supply cable for the lighting of the baseball diamond in support of the Quinte West Amateur Baseball Association. Angelo said he’s hoping to touch base with Electro Cables next week and council has requested he ask for support from Electro Cables for the soccer lighting as well. “I understand the soccer club and the baseball association are really thrilled about this,” said Angelo. “The sooner we get these lights installed the sooner they can use them.”

Child fell from taxi and was hit downtown Trenton BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton – A three-year-old boy fell from a taxi while it turned a corner in downtown Trenton and was struck by the taxi after falling out. On Wednesday Apr. 5 at about 4:15 p.m. officers from the Quinte West OPP and Hastings-Quinte paramedics responded to downtown Trenton in the area of Dundas Street West after the report of a three-year-old boy being struck by a vehicle. During the investigation, officers learned that the child was a passenger in the taxi that the boy was struck by, after falling out when the

vehicle turned a corner. The boy was transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries and there are no charges being laid, stated the Quinte West OPP Constable David Ludington. The child’s exact condition was not known. “The driver of the taxi wasn’t at fault, there’s no blame on the driver of the cab,” said Ludington. “The child was wearing a seatbelt, the doors of the vehicle were locked, it’s possible that the child was playing with the seatbelt and the door.”

Battle of Vimy Ridge remembered in Quinte West, hosted by Branch 110

BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Trenton - One hundred years ago, Canadian men – including relatives of many who now call Trenton home fought and died in the rain and muck of France in the First World War, and did what no others had been able to do: wrest Vimy Ridge from the invading German army. The anniversary of that fateful battle was a day of pride and sadness for those who attended a commemoration of the Battle of Vimy Ridge on Sunday, April 9, hosted by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 110. The number of dead and wounded Canadian soldiers from that one battle was staggering, said Lieutenant-Colonel Steve Camps from 8 Wing. “Eleven thousand casualties at Vimy is larger than the entire Canadian Armed Forces today,” Camp said. However, he said, that battle marked a milestone, the beginning of “the grand tradition that is the Canadian Armed Forces today.” Many currently serving members from 8 Wing came out for the event, as did veterans from the Second World War, Korea, Vietnam, Bosnia, Afghanistan and other conflicts. Several had served with United Nations and NATO forces. The event was very personal for several whose relatives had fought at Vimy, among them Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison, whose grandfather survived Vimy. The mayor read a letter, written in pencil on March 11, 1917, describing the situation as “a lot of dirt and blood.” His grandfather said he thought something big was happening, and that he hoped the war would end before his group moved forward, “But there is no hope of that.” Harrison's grand-

father was badly wounded later in the war and sent home in 1919. He died at home in 1949. Guest speaker Ena Newman gave a presentation about Vimy and the terrible toll the war took. What made Vimy especially notable, she said, was the extensive rehearsal that took place in the four months prior, so every man knew the entire battle plan. “Vimy Ridge has been a defining moment in our history,” she said. “Vimy brought all of our troops together. “I read once that old soldiers never die. They go to join the ghosts at Vimy Ridge.”

World War II veteran gets Wish of a Lifetime flight BY ROSS LEES

CFB Trenton - Ninety-four year old James Long had his dream of a lifetime come true at 8 Wing/CFB Trenton – taking flight in a C-130 Hercules. It had always been the wish of this World War II sailor and civilian pilot to fly in a Hercules aircraft and, with the assistance of Wish of a Lifetime Canada, 436 (Transport) Squadron and the Chartwell Bayview Retirement Residence, Long got the opportunity on March 30. “I always thought, ‘Jeez, it would be nice to get a ride in a Herc’ and Debbie (Ollerhead) here asked me one time if I had a wish of a lifetime,” Long said. “I said ‘I’d like a ride in a Hercules.’ I didn’t dream it was ever going to come about.” Born in Toronto but spending much of his life in Deep River, Ontario, Long has seen Hercules in the skies and longed for the opportunity to fly in one. He had been inside one once in Petawawa and asked to fly in it, but was turned down. No stranger to flying, Long has his own pilot’s licence and is a glider pilot. He has spent time since he was 60 flying Cessnas, Pipers and a Beaver. He has flown to California, Prince Edward Island and Texas. “I just like roaming around the sky,” he said prior to the flight in the Hercules last week. “I just like travelling over the terrain and looking at the country.” Long had originally wanted to join the Air Force when he joined the military in the Second World War, but was told by his recruiting officer that, because he was a mechanical type, he would never fly aircraft but end up fixing them and would never get out of Canada.

“I was 19 years old at the time and that didn’t sound like a lot of fun, so I joined the Navy instead,” he said. Assigned to a Corvette, Long spent a lot of time patrolling from Ireland to Gibraltar looking for enemy submarines, and even spent time prior to the invasion making sure the English Channel was safe for the invading craft. “Chartwell Retirement Centre and Wish of a Lifetime Canada have partnered up and they supply or grant 12 wishes to Chartwell residents every year,” said Ollerhead, the Lifestyle and Program Manager at Chartwell. “He was lucky enough to get his wish.” Long and Ollerhead were joined on their short flight over Prince Edward County by 436 (T) Squadron Honorary Colonel Julie Lange, and Leadership Forum guest speaker Pat Daily, Managing Partner and a founding partner of Convergent Performance, LLC. Both enjoyed the flight and Long was given a front row view of the flight, as he was strapped in the jump seat just behind the pilot and co-pilot in the Hercules. When asked how he enjoyed the flight, he put his index finger and thumb together in a circle and smiled. After the flight, he told Ollerhead, “That was the opportunity of a lifetime and I’m just so glad I had it...it was terrific! I don’t think we will be able to wipe the smiles off our faces for a couple of days.”

Belleville News honoured at OCNA newspaper awards

Belleville News was honoured for breaking news coverage at this past weekend’s Ontario community news awards in Toronto, known as the OCNAs among the craft. The news team from Belleville News captured the second place award in the category of “Online Special Project/Breaking News Coverage” for coverage of the downtown RBC bank holdup tied in with the March, 2016, incidents where the bank was held up moments after the suspect, Toronto man Zak Bayfield, is alleged to have fired a gun down a hallway at Quinte Secondary School. The gunshot, police allege, was to provide a diversion for the robber who rushed downtown to hold up the bank while police resources converged on the high school. Belleville News’ team entry for coverage of the bizarre robbery and at the Belleville Armories on Saturday, April gun incident was one of 1,500 submissions to the Ontario Community 1.

OPINION

Cui Bono on retaliatory air strikes? Donald Trump has spent a lot of time in the courts, so he must be familiar with the legal concept of “cui bono” – “who benefits?” When a crime is committed, the likeliest culprit is person who benGwynne Dyer the efited from the deed. But he certainly did not apply that principle when deciding to attack a Syrian government airbase with 59 cruise missiles early Friday morning. The attack against Shayrat airbase, the first US military action against Bashar al-Assad’s regime in six years of civil war, was allegedly a retaliation for a poison gas attack on the rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhoun three days before that President Trump blamed on the Syrian regime. But who stood to benefit from the chemical attack in the first place? There was absolutely no direct military advantage to be derived from killing 80 civilians with poison gas in Khan Sheikhoun. The town, located in al-Qaeda-controlled territory in Idlib province, is not near any front line and is of no military significance. The one useful thing that the gas attack might produce, with an impulsive new president in the White House, was an American attack on the Syrian regime. Who would benefit from that? Well, the rebels obviously would. They have been on the ropes since the Assad regime reconquered Aleppo in December, and if the warming relationship between Washington and Moscow resulted in an imposed peace settlement in Syria they would lose everything. (Only a few days ago US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said that removing Assad from power was no longer Washington’s priority.) Al-Qaeda – and probably several other rebel groups – have access to chemical weapons. The country was awash with them before the war, because the ability to make a mass chemical-weapons attack on Israel was Syria’s only deterrent against an Israeli nuclear attack. Chemical weapons were stored in military facilities all over Syria, and at one point half the country was under rebel control. So of course the rebels have had some for years, and are known to have used them on occasion in their own internecine wars. Would al-Qaeda have hesitated to use them on innocent civilians order to trigger an Ameri-

can attack on the Syrian regime? Of course not. The results have already been spectacular. The developing Russian-American alliance in Syria is broken, the prospect of an imposed peace that sidelines the rebels – indeed, of any peace at all – has retreated below the horizon, and Rex Tillerson has just declared that “steps are underway” to form an international coalition to force Bashar al-Assad from power. Not a bad return on a small investment. But we should also consider the possibility that Bashar al-Assad actually did order the attack. Why would it do that? For exactly the same reason: to trigger an American attack on the Syrian regime. From a policy perspective, that could make perfectly good sense. The American attack didn’t really hurt much, after all, and it has already smashed a developing Russian-American relationship in Syria that could have ended up imposing unwelcome conditions on Assad. Indeed, Moscow and Washington might ultimately have decided that ejecting Assad (though not the entire regime) from power was an essential part of the peace settlement. Assad doesn’t want foreigners deciding his fate, and he doesn’t want a “premature” peace settlement either. He wants the war to go on long enough for him to reconquer and reunite the whole country (with Russian help, of course). So use a little poison gas, and Donald Trump will obligingly over-react. That should end the threat of US-Russian collaboration in Syria. Either of these possibilities – a false-flag attack by al-Qaeda or a deliberate provocation by the regime itself – is quite plausible. What is not remotely believable is the notion that the stupid and evil Syrian regime just decided that a random poison gas attack on an unimportant town would be a bit of fun. Villains in DC Comics do bad things simply because they are evil. The players in the Syrian civil war do bad things because they are part of serious (though often evil) strategies. Whoever committed the atrocity at Khan Sheikhoun wanted the United States to attack the Syrian regime, and Donald Trump fell for it. But if Trump was taken in by the Syrians, he certainly exploited his attack to send a very serious message to China and North Korea. He is a player too, after all, and it can hardly be an accident that he timed the attack for the day of his meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping. Wheels within wheels. It is going to be a wild ride.

Much to be proud of here in military history Editorial by Chris Malette As many watched on television and in smaller ceremonies right here at home, this past weekend, we remember a century-ago battle at Vimy Ridge, in France, that famously shaped our nation – at least in the eyes of the world. But, we need only look to our own Hastings & Prince Edward Regiment – the battle-honoured Hasty Ps – for inspiration and a tangible, ourown-boys connection to the storied, infamous battles of the First and Second World Wars. Truth told, there is no more storied regiment in the annals of Canadan army history. In the words of its own members and historians, The Regiment, as it is simply and proudly known, is described as “a regiment that has fought in every major engagement Canada has been involved in even before Confederation. A regiment that has been awarded 42 Battle Honours and a regiment that won more Battle Honours than any other Canadian regiment in World War II.” Having drawn from towns, villages and farms from the area that encompasses The Regiment’s recruitment area – with headquarters in Belleville and additional companies in Peterborough and Cobourg – the ‘Plough Jockeys’ or Fighting Farmers as they were affectionately called, indeed fought battles in the area surrounding Vimy – the men of the Hasty Ps did indeed take part in the Battle of Arras at and around Vimy. The Regiment’s battle honours were hard won, too, at other vicious campaigns fought in the trenches of France and Belgium. Among them, in 1917 alone for the Hasty Ps were such infamous battlegrounds as the Third Battle of Ypres, known as the Battle of Passchendaele; the Battle of Arras (at Vimy) and The Battle of Hill 70. By all accounts, it was at Hill 70 – which has been overshadowed by the monumental victory at Vimy, but as fiercely won and as important a victory, by most accounts as Vimy – that The Regiment and its fighting farmers brought as much glory to the estimation of the Canadian fighting soldier in the eyes of both the enemy and the British command as did the victories at Vimy. In the 10-day assault on the promontory named simply for its elevation above sea level, but located at Lens, France, some of the most vile tactics of then modern warfare were employed. From an account of the battle: “The Germans also began to use poison gas in earnest. From 15,000–20,000 of the new Yellow Cross shells containing the blistering agent sulfur mustard were fired in addition to an undetermined num-

ber of shells containing diphosgene, a type of chlorine gas that scorched the lungs of its victims… German troops employing flamethrowers managed to penetrate the Canadian line north of the quarry on the morning of 18 August before being driven out…” As with Vimy and the other trench warfare battles of the time, it was indeed horrific for those involved and there are stories handed down in the Hastings, Peterborough and Northumberland counties from which the Hasty Ps drew recruits of young men who returned home from these conflicts deeply emotionally and mentally scarred, as well as bearing terrible physical effects. Their names are etched on cenotaphs in so many towns, villages and hamlets and upon the walls of municipal offices and churches, always remembered for answering the call. According to The Regiment’s archives, the battle honours won in in the Second World War cost The Regiment 342 members. They were killed in action or later died of wounds. They are remembered as having joined the “White Battalion… where all members of the Hastings & Prince Edward Regiment ‘transfer to’ when they move on from this earthly plane…” There are ghosts of heroes among us in these parts and in the family histories of those left behind by those fighting farmers, those plucky Plough Jockeys who helped forge a world reputation for Canada as a country and home to a courageous brand of soldier, unyielding regardless of the size and barbarism of the fight that confronted them. We have much to be proud of, here, and we would hope there are generous portions of local history lessons in schools hereabouts in teaching the rich military history of the accomplishments of the men of the Hasty Ps in the world wars. For those who might wish to look further into that history, visit a local library and look for Farley Mowat’s acclaimed book ‘The Regiment’ (or his controversial follow-up book, disdained, by the way, by most members of The Regiment, ‘And No Birds Sang,’ a later-in-life, no-holdsbarred look at Mowat’s personal experiences in war with the Hasty Ps.) Also, there is ‘Duffy’s Regiment: A History of the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment’ by Kenneth B. Smith. As the final incantation goes, “At the going down of the sun, we shall remember them.” And remember them, here, we well should.

High teen pregnancy rate continues to plague region: health unit BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – The Hastings-Prince Edward region has one of the highest teenage pregnancy rates in the province, as data from 2014 shows that roughly 30 out of 1,000 girls, aged 15 to 19, experienced pregnancy. This, and other statistics, presented to the Hastings Prince Edward Public Health board on Wednesday, April 5 alarmed board members. “We’re still one of the highest (regions for teen pregnancy),” said board member Jo-Anne Albert, explaining the findings seems consistent to her with reports from decades past. “And that’s scary.” The statistics renewed calls from board members to continue with sex education programs and support staff as they offer clinics throughout the community and in schools and provide resources to teachers to deliver new sex education curriculum. The data was delivered in a presentation by health unit employees Stephanie McFaul and Veronica Montgomery. It showed that Hastings Prince Edward had a teenage pregnancy rate of 30.5 per cent. The rate for teenage therapeutic abortions was 11.6 per cent and the rate for live births and stillbirths was 18.9 per cent. The rates, they clarified, are not percentages. The numbers are based on a sampling per 1,000 teenage girls. The data comes from IntelliHEALTH

Ontario, which combs information from hospital discharges. Comparable to other health unit regions in the province, Hastings-Prince Edward is among the top quarter, the presenters said. The provincial average teenage pregnancy rate is 17.6 per cent. The highest rate in the province was 46.1 per cent. The lowest rate was 7.8 per cent. The health units with the highest and lowest rates were not named. McFaul and Montgomery said the social detriments of health are associated with higher teenage pregnancy rates, meaning teenaged girls without access to good education, employment, income or safe neighbourhoods are more likely to experience pregnancy. While McFaul said “not all teen pregnancies are unwanted pregnancies” the statistics are still concerning to health workers. Pregnant teenagers have a greater risk of developing anemia, hypertension, eclampsia and depression, the presentation showed. Teenage pregnancies are also associated with lower birth rates and a greater possibility of a pre-term birth. These rates are also concerning in a region where many mothers, regardless of age, struggle to pay bills. The average household income after taxes in Hastings-Prince Edward is

$58,508, below the provincial average of $71,523, the report showed. In this region 5.2 per cent of all mothers have concerns about finances, compared to only 3.4 per cent of mothers across Ontario. McFual and Montgomery outlined that the next steps for the health unit is to support teachers in the provision of healthy sexuality education within schools; provide accessible, confidential youth-friendly sexual health counselling and clinic services; provide low cost birth control options (such as free condoms); and support community partnerships to deliver healthy sexuality and reproductive health programs and services. When pressed by board members, McFaul explained that the health unit is involved with sexual health programs at four area high schools: Bayside Secondary School, Prince Edward Collegiate Institute, Central Hastings Secondary School and Moira Secondary School. Albert, a Tweed mayor and retired elementary school teacher, said she can recall hearing similar statistics for the region decades ago, when she was in her first career. She said she hopes the data will inspire the community to take sex education curriculum seriously. “We need to have teachers following it and supporting it, maybe from Grade 6 up,” she said.

More charges against tattoo parlour owner expected BY CHRIS MALETTE

Belleville police expect to lay more charges against a city tattoo parlour owner following a torrent of social media attention to his charges this week of committing an indecent act and sexual assault. Det.-Sgt. Brad Lentini said in an interview with Belleville News he has spoken to “several” potential additional complainants since police released information Tuesday about the charges against the owner/operator of Skin Graffix tattoo parlour. In several online social media posts, women who’d visited the business shared experiences and many said they would be contacting Lentini. The officer said his phone and email lit up with calls and messages from women saying they too had experiences involving the charged individual. “Since the release and the subsequent items online and in the media, I’ve spoken with about 12 more individuals who have come forward either with complaints or information,” said Lentini. “Some were simply requesting information or providing information and others may result in further charges.”

He said he spent Wednesday morning “going through a lot of phone messages and emails” from individuals who said they’d heard the story in the news media or on social media. The case began, said police in a statement issued Tuesday, in early March when police said they “received a complaint about a local businessman sexually assaulting a female patron while she was receiving services. Detectives from the Criminal Investigation Branch continued the investigation and on April 3… arrested and charged 47-year old Kenneth Wayne Melvin, of Belleville with one count of committing an indecent act and one count of sexual assault.” None of the charges have been proven in court. Melvin has operated Skin Graffix Tattooing and Piercing on Dundas Street East for several years. Melvin has been released on an undertaking with strict conditions and a promise-to-appear in Belleville Provincial court on May 4. The investigating officer, Det.-Sgt. Brad Lentini, can be reached at 613966-0882 Ext. 2224 or by e-mail at blentini@police.belleville.on.ca

Quinte West lures top-ranked bass tournament BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton – Quinte West will be the host city for one of the highest-level bass tournaments in Canada this summer, one of Fishing League Worldwide Canada’s (FLWC) national qualifying tournaments. Cory Banford, owner/organizer of FLWC, said he was looking for a new location to host one of the three qualifying bass tournaments FLWC hosts and knew he wanted to have it on the Bay of Quinte. “When I went to visit all of the conjoining towns along the Bay of Quinte, I came up to Trenton and the facilities there are unbelievable,” said Banford. “The new marina and everything they put in place there, it looked like an awesome venue to hold what we want to bring to the area.” FLW is the largest fishing tournament organization series in the world, now moving into the third season in Canada, he said. “So we want to go to places that represent that type of venue, all of our anglers are of the highest level of fisherman there are in Canada and the reason that is is because we’re the only organization that offers a direct path to go fish in the states for a living basically,” said Banford. The Bay of Quinte tournament will be one of three qualifiers, joining the tournaments on Big Rideau Lake in June and Sturgeon Lake in August. The top five qualifiers from each tournament will move on to the 2017 FLW Canadian Championships for free in Buckhorn Ontario in September, said Banford. “It’s a great opportunity for our guys, it’s something never seen in Canada before to have an opportunity these guys are getting,” he said.

The top two teams from the national championship will fish for free in an international championship in the United States, using a fully loaded boat wrapped in team Canada colours. “Usually, with this level of event, teams from out of town will be here for an extra five to seven days staying in the area,” said Banford. “We have teams from Nova Scotia coming to fish, New Brunswick, and one registered from Windsor, those teams are usually here for about a week.” Quinte West city council allocated $15,000 for the tournament during operating budget deliberations, requested by Banford to bring the tournament to the city. “That actually doesn’t cover all of the operating costs, my average is a little over $16,000. I don’t come to towns looking to make money, I ask what I need to get to and cover the cost to hold the event in a town,” he said. Around 250 anglers will be coming to town for about a week, said Banford, an economic boost to the community, and money is filtered back to the anglers through cash prizes. “First prize will be $15,000,” said Banford. “We had the highest boat totals across the country last year with our series and that’s because we pay back so much, if you don’t pay back the anglers what they think they deserve they don’t show up and fish so we pay back everything we can.” Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison Cory Banford sends said hosting the tournament will be out the teams during a Fishing League great for the community. “It’s an elite bass tournament so it’s Worldwide Canada one of a kind coming here and it’ll just tournament. Photo submitted support the other derby we’ve got and support the sport fishing industry in the

Bay of Quinte, particularly in Quinte West,” said Harrison. “So I think it’s fabulous.” Although the organization is not a not-for-profit, Harrison said it’s a good investment and the city invests in infrastructure like the Trent Port Marina and waterfront system to attract events like this. “That’s exactly why we do it, so we can attract more to come to our beautiful municipality and the more people that come the more we benefit,” he said. “Hopefully, in some cases, not only do they come here and do business but they want to live here, they want to be a part of our municipality and support many great activities so it’s a win, win, win.” Entry to the Bay of Quinte tournament, held July 22-23, is $700 and is open to any FLW member.

O’Neil said he definitely saw more people out on the slopes this season than previous years. “I thought there was a lot more people out in the evenings, but the lines were still not bad, I quite liked it and with that pass you can go for a couple hours to get some fresh air and exercise then go home,” he said. “I just think the hill is a great thing for the area and something for our community to do.”

Skaters at TFSC’s 60th carnival never looked sharper BY SARAH HYATT

Trenton – The Trenton Figure Skating Club celebrated 60 years last weekend. Tots, pairs, soloists, groups, an Olympic medallist, four-time Canadian medallists and world figure skating champions came together to celebrate the milestone for 2017. “Sixty years is a long time for a club and to mark that milestone, we really wanted to do something special,” said Cathy Pye, president for the club. Elizabeth Manley, a 1988 Olympic silver medallist from Trenton, hosted the anniversary carnival on Saturday, April 8. Guest skaters included four-time Canadian medallists Piper Gilles and Paul Poirer, who’ve also earned three consecutive top ten finishes at the International Ice Skating Union (ISU) World Figure Skating Championships. Eight-time Canadian national senior competitor and winner of the 2015 International Nebelhorn Trophy, Elladj Balde and the Ice Wine synchronized skating team that took first place at the Oakville Capers Competition recently, also performed at the carnival. The Duncan McDonald Arena was packed for the production and dozens of local kids showcased the skills they’ve honed for the season. “Some of the kids are on the ice four-to-five days a week – they’re so dedicated,” said Crystal Weese, co-chairwoman for the carnival. The theme for the year-end showcase and special anniversary was ‘Déjà Vu – Past, Present and Future.’ Several of the numbers performed were favourites from the past. The tots just learning to

skate represented the future for the show. Current skaters of the season honoured the present with their performances and also paid tribute to some of the greats, with Gord Downie and Michael Jackson-inspired routines. Registration for the 2017-2018 season will be in August. Pye gives thanks to the many sponsors, coaches, board members and volunteers who made the carnival possible.

Metroland asks readers to ‘spot the green dot’ at super mail box sites BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Metroland Media is asking readers from its communities to “spot the dot” and contribute to a cleaner environment. Special blue recycling boxes, with “green dot” stickers affixed to them, have recently been placed in 18 different neighbourhoods throughout this newspaper’s readership area. The “green dot” blue boxes have strategically been placed at Canada Post super mail box sites, where loose papers tend to tossed by some who discard it when going through their mail at the boxes. Metroland Media partnered with Quinte Waste Solutions and 2xtreme Signs and Graphics on this project, with the hope that it will encourage people to instead place loose papers or unwanted flyer mail in the recycling box to keep their neighbourhoods clean and green. Lorie Douglas, Metroland’s real estate sales executive, first thought of the idea when she noticed debris was consistently piling up around the mailbox area of her neighbourhood, at Massassauga Road and Peats Point, in Prince Edward County, just south of Belleville. The area has a Belleville News box and Douglas, as an employee of a company that distributes flyers, was concerned of the perception that the newspaper group could be seen as contributing to

Metroland’s Lorie Douglas holds the special “spot the dot” recycling box that readers might find at a Canada Post super mail box site near them. With her (to the left) is colleague Norah Nelson, and Shannon Hannah of 2xtreme Graphics and (to the right) Jeff Howard and Dan Orr of Quinte Waste Solutions. Stephen Petrick/Metroland

the problem. Instead of being seen as part of the problem, she proposed a solution. With the approval of Metroland Seaway

Region general manager Gavin Beer, she worked with Quinte Waste Solutions on a plan to get the recycling boxes out in several

neighbourhoods where debris is a concern. Quinte Waste Solutions provided the blue boxes and is also assuming the responsibility

of removing the material on normal blue box collection days. “We ask neighbourhoods to participate in the campaign with someone putting the box out on the designated day of pickup and someone to return it to the super mail box after collection,” said Douglas, who hopes a neighbourhood volunteer would find the smallish chore of transferring the box for collection is preferable to a litter-strewn neighbourhood. Douglas designed the logo for the project and Shannon Hannah, owner of 2xtreme Graphics, contributed to the project by printing the stickers for the boxes at no charge. The boxes were placed in the 18 trial locations last week and those working on the project say that so far it has been a success as it is already leading to cleaner environments. QWS staff say they’ve already received comments from callers who like the program. Metroland hopes to expand the “spot the dot” project into more neighbourhoods, at the request of readers. “We have started with 18 boxes in hopes that other neighbourhoods will contact us for to provide a box at their locations,” said Douglas. People interested in obtaining a recycling box for their neighbourhood can call Quinte Waste Solutions at 613-394-6266.

Savic again a multiple winner at Rotary Music Festival BY JACK EVANS

Belleville - For the second year in a row, Tabitha Savic, of Belleville, took several major awards at the closing “silver” competitions for the Quinte Rotary Music Festival. Competing in vocal solo, piano and strings (harp) the talented teenager won the silver tray for piano, the silver strings tray for harp and the Joe Demeza Trophy for best overall performance of the evening from a field of 10 competitors, including her own brother, David, who showed strongly in both piano and vocal categories. Asked about the sibling rivalry in such competitions, David commented: “We just don’t worry about that. We wish each other good luck and that’s the end of it.” Savic, a player with the Quinte Symphony, also competed in the string category with another young symphony player, Jeanette Huang, who gave a strong performance on the violin. Winner of the silver rose bowl for vocal solo this year went to Una Lajic, a close friend of Tabi Savic. The silver pitcher

for brass and woodwind competitors went to the lone entry, Tina Li of Belleville. Each of the top awards brings a $500 prize. The Joe Demeza award is worth $150. A modest crowd, mostly family and friends and Rotary officials, attended the evening which made an enjoyable concert for all as they witnessed professional musicians of the future at work. The vocal contest also saw a lone treble (boy soprano) entrant in the form of a talented

Andrew Powell, whose rendition of “Danny Boy” was popular with the audience. John Chisholm, chair of the festival on behalf of the three sponsoring clubs – Belleville, Quinte West and Quinte Sunrise, noted this was the 49th year of the festival. The festival still has one more major event to conclude it – the Concert of the Stars on Wednesday, April 19 at 7 p.m. in Albert College hall, when awards and prizes will be presented.


RCAF unveils the 2017 ‘Canada 150’ CF-18 demonstration Hornet BY ROSS LEES

The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) has unveiled the 2017 CF-18 Demonstration Jet celebrating Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation. The April 4 unveiling ceremony took place at 4 Wing Cold Lake, Alberta, where the jet has been hosted for the past few weeks. The 2017 Demonstration Pilot, Captain Matthew Kutryk, and the technicians and support staff of the 2017 Demonstration Team, attended the ceremony, as did local dignitaries and military members. “Seeing this incredible jet in person has made me even more motivated to share it with Canadians,” Capt. Kutryk said. “There will be no doubt during any of our stops this air show season that this jet represents Canada and the amazing year we are celebrating. I hope that this jet will inspire all Canadians to chase their dreams as I did because that is what Canada is all about.” The unveiling gave everyone in attendance a chance to see, for the first time, the 2017 paint scheme, which has the aircraft fully painted with a red and white design incorporating the Canada 150 logo. Painting the 2017 demonstration jet has been a team effort between 3 Wing Bagotville, Québec, which provided the jet and technicians to bring the design concept to life, and 4 Wing, which provided hangar space and support during the painting. “3 Wing is honoured to pro-

vide our aircraft as the 2017 Canada 150 Demonstration Jet,” said 3 Wing commander Colonel Darcy Molstad. “Our talented technicians have outdone themselves, taking what was once a graphic concept on paper and transforming it into an incredible final paint scheme for the CF-18. The teamwork required to get this jet painted is just one example of how Canadians can come together to produce a spectacular product. We cannot thank 4 Wing enough for their support during this process.” Throughout the year, DND and the CAF will support the Government of Canada’s celebration of Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation, participating in many events throughout the nation. The upcoming air show season is a special opportunity for the RCAF and the Dem-

onstration Team to join Canadians in celebrating shared values, achievements and Canada’s place in the world. “This incredible Canada 150 CF-18 Hornet is a shining example of the teamwork and professionalism that is embodied by the men and women of the RCAF,” said Major-General Christian Drouin, Commander, 1 Canadian Air Division/Canadian NORAD Region, “and is just one of the many ways that the men and women of the RCAF are working to honour their rich heritage, and commemorating the 150th Anniversary of the Confederation of Canada.” Quick Facts •This year, the Royal Canadian Air Force is joining the Government of Canada in commemorating the 150th

anniversary of the Confederation of Canada. Specifically, the RCAF will honour the history of the Canadian Armed Forces, including the RCAF, as a part of Canada’s proud history. •The specially-painted CF-18 Hornet features the official logo for “Canada 150” placed throughout the design. The logo is composed of a series of diamonds, or “celebratory gems”, arranged in the shape of the iconic maple leaf. The four diamonds at the base represent the four original provinces that formed Confederation in 1867: Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Additional diamonds extend out from the base to create nine more points. Together, they symbolize Canada’s 13 provinces and territories. On the left wing, the timespan of Confederation is shown with the year of Confederation, 1867, and the 150th anniversary year – 2017. The right wing bears the official name of the celebration – “Canada 150”. All aspects of the design come together to create a truly unique and fitting tribute to this important year in Canada’s history.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

8 Wing Leadership Forum helps military to recognize positive influences BY ROSS LEES

CFB Trenton - Two military veterans who went on to lengthy careers in civilian life after distinguished careers in the military were the guest speakers at the 8 Wing Leadership Forum last week. Ninety-seven-year-old Russell Bannock, who retired from DeHavilland as President and Chief Executive Officer, served three years at Canadian Forces Station (CFS) Trenton at the beginning of his military career. Pat Daily, now the President of Convergence Performance, a company he started in the United States, spent 12 years of active duty service and 18 years as a reserve officer in the United States Air Force (USAF), where he flew as an operational pilot in F-4 and F-16 aircraft. He is a graduate of and later instructed at the USAF Test Pilot School, Pat Daily used an animated and professional presentation to keep his where he has flown and evaluated more than 60 types of military audience engaged at the 8 Wing Leadership Forum last week, aircraft, instructed US and allied pilots in upset recovery techniques (in a variety of aircraft) and is a member of the March 30. Society of Experimental Test Pilots. by Ross Lees

Both men stressed that the path to military and civilian leadership should not be strewn with woefully inadequate low expectations, but that those working their way up in any chain of command need to know what “better” looks like to succeed. “Good leadership gets the right people in the right place at the right time,” Bannock told his large audience at the Astra Lounge on March 30. In his introduction of Bannock, 8 Wing Commander Colonel Colin Keiver described the veteran as a “distinguished Canadian aviator.” A key to Bannock’s civilian management style was to keep his employees in good health and get well-qualified management in place. He also felt not enough students were graduating from technical colleges to fill the demand at DeHavilland. Bannock felt leadership in the military and the civilian side faced the same problem if they did not lead well – they would get moved out. “As a manager, you have to lead and get the people to work for you,” he said, adding that money is most often the best motivating factor. Bannock was the Commanding Officer of 418 Mosquito Intruder Squadron and 406 Mosquito NF and Intruder Squadron, and he spent one year in Arnprior as a flight instructor. He worked for 25 years with De Havilland, starting as Chief Test Pilot and is noted for being the first man in the world to fly a De Havilland Beaver. He has over 7,000 flying hours in the Beaver and only got rid of his last one four years ago, although he still flies his son’s aircraft. Pat Daily, in a spectacular civilian career, has flown for American Airlines, Texas Air Aces, Aviation Safety Training (advanced manoeuvering and upset recovery). Prior to founding Convergent Performance, he was the director of Honeywell’s Defense and Space Electronics Systems at Johnson Space Center where he managed the steam to glass program for the space shuttle as well as managed and provided guidance for navigation and control projects for the International Space Station, and the space shuttle. There are four levels of professionals, according to Daily – those who reflect professionalism, those who comply with the rules of professionalism, the fully energized expert doing the best they can to reach their full potential, and the game changer, the professionals that change the way things are done and make it better for others. Daily pointed out a couple of things others in the audience may have noticed, including that the person teaching someone else is often helped to get better in the process. “The person giving help benefits from the person receiving help,” he said. There were a couple of pitfalls Daily warned professions to avoid – the arrogance which prevents a professional from recognizing a need to get better and he also stated that what professionals do not do in their careers impacts their professional path. Daily advised professionals to seek information where they could and take advantage of the sources available to them. “Sometimes, all we need is somebody to show us that better is possible,” he added. Adding some humour to his presentation, Daily advised all professionals to avoid the mediocrity of the lollipop, or they will suck forever. Brutal honesty is also necessary for professionals as they do the work while climbing the professional ladder, he said. “Sometimes people just don’t want to face reality,” he said, adding that shared adversity can often be very rewarding. “Training is critical in all endeavours but you should also stop while you still care about how you are doing your job.” Daily told up and coming leaders to expect a fight, because often people don’t want to be told how bad they are doing. At the same time, professionals should never be afraid of getting better. “In that regard, remove the barriers that keep your people from getting better,” he added. “Work together for systemic improvement. And when you see improvement, celebrate it!” His final piece of advice was that when a professional is presented with a mentoring moment, “…seize it and make that person better. Find what better looks like and then engage the group.”


Local author Simpson launches historical tome April 22 BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Belleville—An officer, a reprobate and a Royal Marine during the Napoleonic Wars, the life of Captain Charles MacDonald reads like an adventure novel. But Soldier, Settler Sinner by Jane Simpson is a true story about one of the most colourful people ever to live in Hastings County. At an event to be hosted by the Hastings County Historical Society, Simpson will launch her new book about this unusual man on Saturday, April 22, between 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. in the Manly MacDonald Gal-

lery at the Belleville Library. She also will be at Chapters in Belleville from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. the following day to sign copies of her book. Simpson, who now lives in Kanata, was born in Belleville and attended high school in Tweed. She spent many summers with her grandparents in Point Anne, a village south of Belleville and the birthplace of painter Manley MacDonald. “It took me around two years to write the book and publish it,” Simpson said. “He (Captain MacDonald) was a bit of a rogue who surprised

me at every turn. This fellow was also the ancestor of Manly MacDonald, so it’s great we are holding the book launch in the Manly MacDonald room at the Library.” She said MacDonald fathered 17 children with several different women, leaving many of his descendants in Hastings County. She herself is the greatgreat-great granddaughter of Charles MacDonald. But the amazing thing is that this man lived long enough to father any children, let alone 17. “He cheated death during a succession of dangerous situa-

tions, such as island battles in the Caribbean, outbreaks of tropical disease, mutiny, hazardous sea voyages, and a cholera outbreak in Quebec City upon arrival in the new world,” she said. The book features photographs encompassing the Captain’s life in England, the West Indies and the shores of the Bay of Quinte, and includes a foreword by Vern Whalen, author of Point Anne: History of a

Cement Factory Village. Simpson said she was adamant that the book be locally produced. “The book designer was Jozef VanVeenen (of) Tikit Visuals from Belleville,” she said. “The editor was Orland French from Belleville and the book is being printed by Steve Campbell from County Magazine in Bloomfield.” Simpson is a retired nurse

who has held administrative positions in health care and lectured at the University of Ottawa. She is a lifetime member of the Hastings County Historical Society, a member of the Marilyn Adam Genealogy Research Centre and a member of the Capital Crime Writers in Ottawa.

People First holds rally protesting picketers in front of homes BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford â€” People with intellectual disabilities who have been pulled into the middle of contract negotiations between Community Living Campbellford/Brighton and unionized workers held a rally April 8 to say they've had enough. They and their supporters gathered at Old Mill Park to protest having group homes picketed by members of Ontario Public Service Employees Union Local 316 who have been on strike since March 22. It's “shameful and horrible,â€? said Kory Earle, past-president of People First of Ontario. “If there is a problem between employees and employers, take it to your employer's office, not the people you are paid to support. They haven't done anything wrong.â€? Seeing staff outside their homes is “confusing and scaryâ€? for them, he said. The residents “are being used as pawnsâ€? in labour talks, he charged. “You can never justify picketing in front of people's home, it is plain wrong,â€? Earle said. “Enough is enough. We are demanding OPSEU union workers do the right thing: Stop picketing people's homes.â€? His plea was echoed by Jennifer Grol, who heads People First Northumberland, and Nadine Lafrance,

A rally was held Saturday at Old Mill Park to protest striking OPSEU workers setting up pickets in front of homes where people with intellectual disabilities reside. John Campbell/Metroland

president of People First of Lanark. Grol said she's not against people striking or picketing in front of an office, but not in front of people's homes, "it's very wrong.� Lafrance called it “unfair.� Dufferin-Caledon MPP Sylvia Jones sent a letter relaying her “best wishes� for the rally. She has tried for years to have her private member's bill passed that would prohibit picketing of supportive-group homes where people with developmental

disabilities reside. Earle called on Premier Kathleen Wynne to “stand up� for people with intellectual disabilities and put a stop to the pickets in front of people's homes, which are meant to be a sanctuary and “safe place.� Courtney Huycke, chief steward with the union local and a member of the bargaining committee, said the union won a court case several years ago affirming its members' legal right to picket in front of their

“workplace.� “That is why we're picketing in front of the homes ... that's where we work,� she said. “We have a very respectful picket line,� OPSEU Local 316 president Shawn Devries said. He reiterated the union's opposition to Community Living's demand that OPSEU members use their own vehicles to transport residents when requested. “We've always had the opportu-

nity to say no,� he said. The agency has 13 vehicles available to take the people it serves on trips for medical appointments, volunteer opportunities or recreational outings, but “it's first come, first served,� Devries said, and with 140 people to support, workers are often called upon to use their own cars. If they are compelled to do so, it will add $500 to their auto insurance premium, Devries said. Some insurance companies have said they will drop them as clients, because of the “huge liability,� Huycke added. “If we get in an accident with someone in our vehicles, their families can sue us.� OPSEU has 64 contracts in Ontario's developmental services sector, and only two of them require employees to use their cars, Devries said. The workers began their strike March 22. Local 316 represents 91 employees; 71 of the 83 who voted on the first contract offer rejected it. A bargaining session was held March 28 and another was scheduled for Monday, April 10. Community Living has offered a 20-cent hourly increase as well as a lump-sum payment of $750. The workers are paid between $18 and $25 an hour.

Belleville singer advances to semifinal round of country talent search BY BILL FREEMAN

Bethany — Belleville’s Dustin Bird has busted through to the semifinal round of the Next Country Music Star Talent Search. The acclaimed talent show, hosted by The Ranch resort in Bethany in partnership with the Havelock Country Jamboree, is one of the most sought-after performance gigs in the southern Ontario and has helped launch the careers of a number of rising stars including last year’s winner Sacha Visagie, who grew up in Warkworth and has been wowing audiences across Ontario. The winners from each round advance to the April 22 semifinals along with three wild card selections. Ten performers move on to the

final round of judging. Bird topped the sold-out opening round on March 18, advancing to the semifinals along with wild card pick Alessia Cohle from Toronto. On hand for opening night were Havelock Jamboree owners Ed Leslie and Paula Chopik, with Peterborough musician Jan Schoute; Sylvia Mason, of Catherine Faint Entertainment; Jen Goheen of Havelock Jamboree; and booking manager and stage manager Bruce Sutton. Bird’s “near-perfect performance captivated everyone,” said Jane Doidge of The Ranch Resort. “Dustin took everyone on a journey inviting every one of us into his set.” Cohle’s set was equally impressive. “She and her band put on a performance that generally isn’t seen

except on a big stage in front of a very large crowd,” said Doidge. Also performing on opening night were Dave Bush of Stirling, The Roy Borden Jr. band of Belleville, and Nicole Mastrangelo of Peterborough. Winning the March 25 round was The Greg Williams Band out of Toronto with Cameron von Criegern of Peterborough earning a wildcard spot. Also on stage were The Next Generation Seaboyer Band from Havelock, John Anderson from Barrie, Country Spice from Durham Region, and Stirling’s Rob Donaldson.

Annual jazz fest focuses on 150th birthday celebrations BY JACK EVANS

Like Canada’s Sesquicentennial, this year brings some significant anniversaries for the jazz world, a press conference at Huff’s Estates Winery last week was told. The event was to unveil plans for the 17th annual Prince Edward County Jazz Festival, Aug.15-20 at venues throughout the county and featuring some of the best jazz musicians on the planet. Festival Chair, John Puddy, of Hillier, noted the event has become “one of the most highlyJohn Puddy, left, chair of the annual Prince Edward respected mainstream jazz festiCounty Jazz Festival and Brian Barlow creative di- vals in Canada” and stated: “This year will clearly establish the fesrector, display a poster for the annual festival. Jack Evans/Metroland tival as the number one producer

of world-class, live jazz entertainment in a part of Ontario becoming well-known not only for its wine and cuisine, but also for its creative contributions to Canadian culture.” Brian Barlow, Creative Director, noted that Canada and Canadians have made significant contributions to jazz, including providing some of the best jazz artists in North America. Historically 2017 marks the 100th anniversary of the first jazz recording, “Lively Stable Blues” by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band. “And what a year 1917 was for important birthdays,” he added.

Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonius Monk and more, were all born in that year. The work of these centenary artists will be recognized in this season’s concerts. Another salute to Canada’s 150 will take the form of a presentation based on Canadian jazz artists who have received the Order of Canada for their talents, including Quinte area horn player Guido Basso, plus Don Thompson, piano and vibes, Dave Young, bass and Terry Clarke, drums. That will be Saturday, Aug. 19 in The Regent Theatre. The kick-off event in Baxter Hall, Bloomfield, will be “One Hundred Years of Jazz, a joint presentation by Brian Barlow and Andy Sparling,” free admission. Another major

change is the inclusion of a “featured artist” at concerts throughout the week. This year, it will be jazz violinist Drew Jerecka, who claims Stephane Grapelli as his inspiration. The festival will continue to feature main stream concerts at The Regent and St. Mary Magdalene Church plus lounges and dineries around the county, open air concerts and after-hours entertainment. Full details remain to be completed before the festival launches on Tuesday, Aug. 16, with the Baxter Hall presentation. Puddy also noted that after 16 years of being under the wing of the Prince Edward County Arts Council, this year the festival is now its own not-for-profit operation.

Canada’s 150th barbershop style If you enjoy a lusty all male choir singing some of your favourite songs, then circle Saturday evening, April 29 on your calendar for the annual A Cappella Quinte show at Belleville’s Maranatha Church auditorium. The more-than-30 voices in the chorus will be boosted by Belleville’s own nationally-acclaimed talent, Jeanette Arsenault, whose hit national song, “This Is My Canada” will bring this exciting concert to a close. Other songs on the program include the beautiful East Coast folk ballad, “Song for the Mira,” the iconic Leonard Cohen hit, “Hallelujah,” the folk song hit , “Fare Thee Well Love,” and a hilarious comedy skit

OUTSTANDING CRAFTSMANSHIP

based on the musical ballad, “The Shooting of Dan McGrew.” Take a road trip with the chorus around Canada with “Let’s Get Away from it All,” or even around Prince Edward County with “County Roads”with paraphrased words. Tickets at $20, ($10 for youth) are available from chorus members, the Quinte Arts Council office or at the door. Show time is 7:31 p.m. so it won’t be a late night. This is your chance to hear A Cappella’s enlarged chorus’s new sound and meet our new chorus director, Patrick Headley of Bloomfield. It will also be a great way to celebrate Canada’s Sesquicentennial.

Public can comment on Bay of Quinte cleanup process BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – For decades it has been a pollution hotspot; a body of water that no person should swim in and certainly not drink water from. But after 30 years of work by environmentalists, the Bay of Quinte is close to no longer being considered an area of concern within the Great Lakes. Officials are ready to start the process of changing the status on three remaining environmental challenges for the bay to unimpaired. The challenges related to fish populations, habitat and underwater bugs have all met the scientific criteria necessary to change their status, said the Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan Restoration Council, an organization that works with senior governments to clean up the bay. However, an integral part of this

process is public consultation, the council says. It’s asking people to email comments about whether they support or don’t support a recommendation to change the status on these environmental challenges to unimpaired. Comments can be sent to smidlanejones@ bqrap.ca by Friday, May 5. But it’s clear to officials who’ve worked on the waterway that the Bay of Quinte has come a long way and is as clean as it’s ever been in recent history. Efforts to clean up the Bay of Quinte can be traced back to 1984, when the International Joint Water Commission was formed with support from the Canada and the United States, to work on environmental cleanups. At that time, the Bay of Quinte had 84 items on a check list that environmentalists needed to complete for it to be removed as an area of concern.

But today, by all accounts, the bay has healthy fish populations and once again serves a lucrative tourism industry that caters to boaters, anglers and anyone who loves water. “Today, the Bay of Quinte is a healthy and vibrant ecosystem, wellknown for its world-class walleye and bass fishery,” said Terry Murphy, the general manager of Quinte Conservation and the co-chair for the restoration council. “Reaching this milestone, in rehabilitating the Bay, is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our federal, provincial, and municipal partners, as well as, industry, agriculture, the public and local conservation authorities.” The BQRAP Restoration Council has approved the environmental challenges related to fish populations and habitat and underwater bugs be circulated for a 30-day public comment

period. The council will review and address all comments. Next, the reports will be sent to Environment and Climate Change Canada and the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change for final review. At this stage, additional technical review or specific work can be requested, or the reports will be approved. Once approved, the reports are sent to the governments of Canada and Ontario to seek formal concurrence on the status change. Once both governments agree, the three environmental challenges will be considered unimpaired. “These are exciting times for the Bay of Quinte Restoration Council,” said Glenda Rogers, the Chief Administrative Officer of Lower Trent Conservation and the other council co-chair. “After several decades of reha-

bilitating the Bay we are able to start the process to change the status for a number of the environmental challenges. Now, we must ensure strategies are in place, so the Bay doesn’t back slide to conditions that required a remedial action plan in the first place.” All eleven environmental challenges attributed to the Bay of Quinte have to undergo this process to have their status changed to unimpaired. When this process is complete, the Bay of Quinte can be taken off the Great Lakes Areas of Concern list. In 2016, the environmental challenges – restrictions on dredging activities and fish tumours and other deformities – were sent to the federal and provincial governments for formal acceptance of their status change. The final reports and supporting information can be found on the BQRAP web site www.bqrap.ca.

Marmora and Lake council votes to appeal Crowe Valley levy BY SUE DICKENS

Marmora — Marmora and Lake Council is saying no to the 2017 Crowe Valley Conservation Authority (CVCA) levy of a 12. 8 per cent increase and has voted to appeal. The increase in the levy had been approved at the CVCA’s last meeting, but not unanimously. The authority decided to create two budgets, one for operations and one for capital expenditures, a first for the board. Ten municipalities are represented on the authority and three no-votes were recorded at the CVCA meeting when the operations budget, at a six

per cent increase, was put on the table. The capital budget of 6.8 per cent was approved unanimously and both were sent to the municipalities for consideration. At the time of the CVCA recorded vote, Vice-Chair Ron Gerow, mayor of the Township of Havelock-BelmontMethuen (HBM), and board member Terry Clemens, mayor of the Municipality of Marmora and Lake, as well as board member Irene Martin, representing the Township of Tudor and Cashel, all voted against the operations budget increase. On April 4 at their regular council

meeting, Marmora and Lake voted unanimously to move forward with an appeal, which will be filed to the Mining and Lands Commissioner as appointed under the ministry of natural resources act. Included in council’s recommendation was a direction that the Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen’s solicitor, M. John Ewart, file the appeal under the Conservation Authorities Act. Commenting on the authority’s 2017 levy, Deputy Mayor Linda Bracken pointed out: “This equates to a total budget increase of 30 per cent over the five years for the operating budget

alone.” Mayor Clemens was not at the council meeting. Marmora council also voted to “engage the services of Collins Barrow to carry out a financial review of the conservation authority’s 2017 budget.” The council formally requested that the township of HBM share 50 per cent of the legal and auditing costs. The township has agreed to pay “their share of the cost” of the appeal. “We were down to our last straw with this,” said councillor Sandy Fraser, Marmora’s rep on the authority board.

“We tried everything to get this turned around and we have nowhere else to go to get this thing turned around.” Deputy Mayor Bracken added: “I don’t think any taxpayer wants to pay 12 per cent.” It was also pointed out during the council discussion that there are 10 municipalities represented on the CVCA board and that HBM and Marmora and Lake pay 54 per cent of the Crowe Valley levy with the other eight paying 46 per cent. “And we each just have one vote,” noted Fraser.

Community Trees 2017: Free seedlings for Hastings residents Since 2006, the Community Trees program has handed out 60,000 tree seedlings to residents of Hastings County. The Hastings Stewardship Council (HSC), with support from municipal councils, has provided this free service to landowners. In April, trees will again be available at no charge for residents of Hastings. The initiative is designed to encourage residents to plant native trees in appropriate locations: for example, as windbreaks and shade for homes. This helps to reduce energy use and save money on heating and cooling. Trees help clean our air and water, and add habitat for our wildlife. As a result of the emerald ash borer, significant tree losses are predicted (10-15% in most communities) in the near future. Our urban trees and woodlots are under stress due to our changing climate with more droughts Seedlings such as this will be available free of charges for and extreme weather events. residents of Hastings County April 22 and 29.

bands and more locations this year, with a bigger focus on the downtown this time to draw people into local businesses. He said there will be 26 sites, including porches at homes and businesses such as Greenhawk that have verandas, plus parking lots and, if the Township approves, at the Covered Bridge. In addition to the Saturday event, which will be held on May 27, this year's Shenanigans will include a dance the night before at the Stirling Arena and a gospel show on the Sunday. While the dance tickets are $10 each, Saturday and Sunday events are free and suitable for all ages, he said. “People loved it (last year) because it was family-friendly,” Bush added.

Quinte Symphony joins with Sultans of String

BY JACK EVANS

If you like your symphonic music with plenty of zest, then the Quinte Symphony’s concert on Sunday, May 7 is for you. Special guests for this final regular concert of the season will be the spirited Juno award-winning ensemble, Sultans of String, for a delightful afternoon of music in Picton’s Regent Theatre. The Sultans have achieved widespread fame and popularity for their eclectic and polished sounds, particularly from strings. With their genre-hopping passport of Celtic reels, flamenco, Gypsy jazz, Arabic, Cuban and South Asian rhythms, the group celebrates musical fusion and

human creativity with warmth and virtuosity. Title of the concert is “Fiddler on the Loose,” so it will be a case of “fasten your seatbelt.” Under Maestro Dan Tremblay , the orchestra, replete with their new four-piece solid copper kettle drum set, will open the concert with an exciting piece called “Changes,” by Canadian composer Clifford Crawley. Crawley was a former conductor of the orchestra when it was still the Eastern Ontario Concert Orchestra. Quinte Symphony last played The Regent several years ago and both players and audience were amazed at the quality of sound the classic old theatre provided. Quinte Symphony now embraces close to 45 players, spanning Oshawa to Kingston, but mostly from the Quinte area. Formed originally as The Eastern Ontario Concert Orchestra in 1960, it continues to delight audiences of many hundreds and all ages, as well as offer opportunities for area amateur and professional musicians to hone or maintain their skills, including young people. For an idea of what the orchestra sounds like, visit <thequintesymphony.com.> Tickets at the usual prices, $25 adult, $20 for seniors and $10 for students, apply, available by telephone or on line from the Regent Theatre, telephone (613) 476-8416. (NOTE: Because the concert is in a private theatre, the theatre is in charge of box office and ticket sales. Therefore no tickets are being sold through outlets other than the Regent. Tickets will continue to be available at the door and season tickets will be honoured.)

Peterborough — A man from Trent Hills and a woman form Havelock-Belmont-Methuen have been charged following an arrest by a combined joint forces investigation. They two have been arrested by the community street crime unit composed of detectives from the Peterborough County detachment and Northumberland detachment of the OPP. The arrests happened April 5. Police had conducted a compliance check on the woman accused and found her to be breaching her release conditions by being out after curfew. She was located after a traffic stop on Northumberland County Road 8 in the Municipality of Trent Hills. There were two occupants inside the 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee, which was reported stolen from the Toronto region. Inside the vehicle, police located additional stolen property (car keys and a dealer plate) linked to a break-in at Earl Ireland's car lot reported earlier in the week. Drugs were also seized in the search of the stolen auto and the people inside. As a result Jennifer Alisha Bridges, 36, of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Township, has been charged with: failure to comply with probation order; possession of property obtained by crime over $5000 (stolen Grand Cherokee); possession of property obtained by crime under $5000 (car keys and licence plate linked to Earl Ireland break in); possession of a controlled substance (marijuana); possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine). Robert James Prevost, 36, of Trent Hills, has been charged with: failure to comply with probation order (contact with Jennifer Bridges); possession of property obtained by crime over $5000 (stolen Grand Cherokee); possession of property obtained by crime under $5000 (car keys and licence plate linked to Earl Ireland break in). The two accused were scheduled to appear in the Ontario court of justice in Peterborough for a show cause hearing on April 6.

Hastings — It’s fitting that Canada’s 150th anniversary and iconic 19th century Canadian author Catherine Parr Traill should come together in a special celebratory evening hosted by the Hastings Branch Library April 27. The library welcomes back Joyce Higgs, a founding member and former chair of the Friends of the Hastings Library, to talk about Traill’s brilliant book Canadian Wildflowers published during the infant days of Confederation in 1868, 52 years after her deservedly praised landmark The Backwoods of Canada. We admire Traill for Canadian Wildflowers and Plant Life in Canada but also for her seminal 1836 work The Backwoods of Canada and the window it opened into the hard life of a pioneer woman making her way in an unforgiving, but gloriously beautiful country. “It was very hostile, such hardships that they faced, we have no idea,” says Higgs, “She talked about her burdens, the flowers she was fond of, what she was learning from the First Nations on how to use plants. “She found that she was very unprepared when she arrived here, but made a good life and lived until she was 97,” Higgs adds. Her book The Female Emigrants Guide was a way of counteracting the “rosy” picture some English promoters used to encourage emigration. “Leave the china at home, bring seeds, bring nuts, bring warm mittens.” Traill was a pioneering woman, literary figure and careful observer of nature and life in the “backwoods.” “What she wrote will resonate with gardeners today.” The talk will be at the Hastings Civic Centre starting at 7 p.m. Light refreshments will be served. Free-will donations will be gratefully accepted.

OBITUARY

In Loving memory of a wife, mother, sister and friend whom lost her battle with cancer April 16, 2012. Her strength carries on in the people that loved her, still upholding her motto “Falling down is part of Life, Getting up is Living” Forever Loved, missed and always in our Hearts and Thoughts. Love Mike, Mackenzie, Clayton and Family.

888.967-3237

They say memories are golden Well maybe that is true We never wanted memories We only wanted you A million times we needed you A million times we cried If love alone could have saved you You would have never died In life we loved you dearly In death we love you still In our hearts you hold a place No one could ever fill If tears could build a stairway And heartaches make a lane We’d walk the path to heaven And bring you back again Calm and peaceful they are sleeping Sweetest rest that follows pain We who loved them sadly miss them And trust in God to meet again Sadly missed – Francis Family

What moves through us is a silence, Quite sadness, A longing for one more day, One more word, One more touch, We may not understand why you left this earth so soon Or why you left before we were ready to say goodbye But little by little We begin to remember not just that you died But that you lived And that your life gave us memories Too beautiful to forget When the joys are still remembered But the sorrow has quietly gone There will always be a special place In our hearts where you live on Forever remembered and forever loved Missy, Sherri, and Kim

CHRISTOPHER ROBERTS July 2, 1974 - April 15, 2004

If we could bring you back again, For one more hour or day, We’d express all our unspoken love; We’d have countless things to say. If we could bring you back again, We’d say we treasured you, And that your presence in our lives Meant more than we ever knew. If we could bring you back again, To tell you what we should, You’d know how much we miss you now, And if we could, we would. Love Mom & Dad. Section B - Thursday, April 13, 2017 B17

TRAVEL

All Aboard Arizona’s Verde Canyon Railroad BY JOHN M. SMITH

When I was in Sedona, Arizona, I decided to drive to nearby historic Clarkdale and take the 4-hour, 20 mi./33 km. trip to the Perkinsville ghost ranch and back. After all, this trip would take me through some rugged wilderness and spectacular red rock country that’s only accessible by rail. I thought that it would be a wonderful way to explore Arizona’s “other grand canyon”. Indeed, this route proved to be remote and yet breathtakingly beautiful. My tour began at the train depot in Clarkdale, where I found the Copper Spike Café, the Whistlestop Shop, and the Boxcar Gift Store. I also found several storyboards installed along the depot’s loading platform. These gave me details about the history of this railroad and its vintage locomotives and historic rail cars. Some of these storyboards also provided details of my upcoming journey, including plants and animals that I might see along the way. I also visited the depot’s John Bell Museum, where the railroad’s history and artifacts (including switch locks and lanterns) were housed in an old boxcar. I discovered that there were several seating options on this historic train, for Coach Class ($64.95) provided traditional Pullman-style seating, while First Class ($89.95) offered more space per passenger and more comfortable seating, even with couches (it was much like being in your living room) – and it included a champagne toast and complimentary appetizers. Yet another option for a group (up to 6) was to reserve the caboose ($700.00), or an individual could even choose to ride up in the locomotive with the engineer and conductor ($700.00, including lunch and a photo of you with the crew). I also found out that both Coach Class and First Class also provided separate open-air viewing cars, so it was as if each guest had two seats for the price of one (the canopied cars also had benches to sit on, and allowed the passenger to be out in the fresh air, surrounded by the grandeur of the canyon landscape). My particular First Class coach was named Sycamore, and next to it was the Camp Verde coach, our viewing platform. This gave us passengers the option of taking photos from either inside or outside, and the train’s slow speed (about 10 mph) made it easy to get those photos. Our journey was accompanied by occasional narratives about upcoming points of interest, and when no one was

talking to us, then various railroad songs would be played, including Gordon Lightfoot’s classic: There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun Long before the white man, and long before the wheel When the green dark forest was too silent to be real But time has no beginnings and history has no bound As to this verdant country they came from all around

They sailed upon her waterways and they walked the forests tall Built the mines, the mills and the factories for the good of us all Ironically, Lightfoot was talking specifically about the Canadian railroad in his song, but it seemed to apply just fine here. After all, the Verde Canyon Railroad was built because of the area’s mining industry, particularly nearby Jerome’s copper mine and Clarkdale’s smelter. The route included a 680 foot man-made tunnel that was cut right through the rock and some high railroad bridges, and we encountered these

on our excursion. When the mines eventually shut down, many of the little communities in this area became not much more than ghost towns – and the train route was no longer a necessity. However, it was decided that this area was simply too scenic to simply abandon. Therefore, the COACH train route was revitalized as a tourist attraction – and it has been running

through this canyon in this capacity since 1990. On our particular excursion, we followed the Verde River for much of the time, crossed it via trestles, passed several eagles’ nests, and encountered some towering red rock pinnacles along our way. When we eventually reached the end of the line, in Perkinsville, there wasn’t much to see except the remnants of the old depot and some grazing cattle. Apparently this land is still owned by the Perkins family, but there’s no village or any fancy houses to be seen here. The land is simply used for pasture. Our locomotive was detached, turned around on a turntable, taken to the other end of our train on a separate rail line, and then re-connected, now next to the caboose, for our return trip. We stayed aboard during this process, for there really wasn’t anywhere to go. One interesting phenomenon that I noticed on the return trip to Clarkdale was that the atmosphere on the train seemed much more subdued. That first glimpse of the newly anticipated sights just down the track or around the next curve had already been experienced – and the majority of stunning photos had already been taken. Passengers seemed more content now to simply relax, put away the camera, and just enjoy the view. Some even had a nap!

The Good Earth More spring tasks to ready the garden, lawn

Dan Clost

Some times it works out. Last week’s column talked about wet soil and warned that frost was still on the way. On the day of publication, 29.9mm of total precipitation sluiced down upon us. The evening afterwards, the temps dipped to well below freezing; low enough that we had to cover leafedout shrubs at the nursery with frost blankets. Gentle Reader, it is always a bit of a mug’s game trying to predict weather a week or so in advance so when it does work out right, one feels pretty

good. Next time we meet, feel free to give me a pat on the back, my own elbow is a bit sore at the moment:) This column will be published in the middle of Aprilstill a titch early for much lawn work; however, there are some who hold with the phenological (study of the relationship of climate to cyclical biological events) dictum: when the yellow forsythia blooms it is time to fertilize the lawn. The caveat here is to find out where this particular saying arose. In our areas (Quinte West and

all parts north and east), the soil is simply too wet and cold and the grass is not yet into full swing. There is a risk that much of the expensive nitrogen will be leached out before the roots are actively searching for it. Wait another week or so and you can combine fertilizing with pre-emergent weed management, i.e. applying corn gluten meal. In the meantime, you certainly should stroll the greensward and nick out any weeds that you see. I favour using a sharpened hoe and just clipping below the crown at ground level especially for long tap-rooted chappies like Canada thistle. For dandelions, plantain, as well as hen-bit and other mint related invaders, I have a stand-up claw weeder. When I do my IPM (integrated pest management) walkabouts on our estate, I carry one of those tools with me. Along with keeping on top of problems, it spreads out the chore part of gardening so there is more time

available for the fun partssitting on the thinking bench with a beverage and watching the plants grow. This is a good time to prepare your containers for the season but now is not the time to plant them up. Do a quick inventory of the containers, clean them up and trial set them around the property. It is a lot easier to shuffle empty pots about than full ones. If you will be doing up large vegetable and herb planters for the deck and patio (wherever the barbecue resides), you might consider placing a caddy underneath. This will let you rearrange the area to accommodate different events, or simply move the plants in and out of the sun/shade. You can match the soil and amendments to the specific plants you will be selecting. It is important to remember conditions in a container are very different from the ground. Everyone is aware of the need for drainage but we’re not always genned

up on compaction. Garden soil shovelled into a large container will slowly settle down closing up vital pore space necessary for air and water movement. Look for designated container mixes; it will be on the bag, e.g. Fafard’s Verandah Mix. If you want to go old school, mix up your own: 2 parts peat or coir, 1 part compost, 1 part perlite or vermiculite. Keep in mind that this will not “feed” your plants. They will feed themselves but you must give them the nutrients they need to make more “plant” bits like stems, leaves, and fruits. For large containers, consider a bottom layer of manure. Roots should be tickling the bottom in mid to late summer and the plants will appreciate the availability of all the good stuff clinging to the organic matter. A tip from my friend, Doug Green: if you’re growing bush tomatoes in a container you need seven shovels of soil per plant.

Dresses for girls around the world YOU’RE INVITED!!

Peyton Shirk, Chelsea Danna and Abigail Shepstone, grade seven students at St. Paul Catholic Elementary School in Norwood. Bill Freeman/Metroland

BY BILL FREEMAN

Norwood — What started out as a sewing project for 20 students at St. Paul Catholic Elementary School in Norwood has morphed into a schoolwide enterprise to make 160 dresses for girls in developing countries who can only dream of owning their own, never-before-worn outfit. “Our goal is 160 dresses because we have 160 females in the building,” says special education resource teacher Michele Keating who’s leading an initiative inspired by Hope 4 Women International’s “Dress a Girl around The World” program. Hope 4 Women International is a nondenominational independent Christian organization that began in Uganda in 2006 to help women become self-sufficient by developing businesses of their own.

The group’s dressmaking project started in 2009 with the simple dream of “a world where every girl has at least one dress” starting out with simple pillowcase dresses but now including trendier styles built from equally simple patterns. In eight years, the program has delivered over 300,000 dresses to girls in 81 different countries. Now, some of those dresses will come from St. Paul in Norwood where all grade five to eight students along with staff members will make dresses. “I thought I’d get 20 volunteers but when I did the classroom presentations virtually everyone wanted to do it,” said Keating. “Lucky for me that we have a lot of generous people in the community and a lot of people willing to come in and help on sewing days. “I’m overwhelmed by the response. It’s going to be like a mini assembly line. Everybody was enthusiastic about learning to use the sewing machines.” They have two machines at the moment with a few more expected and received discounted deals from both Stedman’s (T-shirts) and Your #1 Sewing Centre in Campbellford. Part of the preparation has included washing 180 T-shirts and 160 meters of fabric. Keating and helpers will work with each class to cut fabric and then teams of six to seven will rotate through their sewing stations. “It’s a really simple project for people to enter into sewing because we’re starting with the Tshirt already made and just adding fabric and pockets to the bottom. It’s not an intimidating project.”
