Quinte West - The Quinte West Chamber of Commerce will be hosting its 2014 President’s Dinner and AGM on Wednesday, February 12 at Occasions by the Bay in Bayside. This is a special night in Quinte West where the business community comes together to recognise the accomplishments of its chamber, the success of its business community and to pay their respects to this year’s Honourary Life Time Membership recipient Tom Kotsovos. “It is our honour this year to recognize local businessman Tom Kotsovos with an Honourary Lifetime Membership,” said Quinte West Chamber President Dave Fairfield. “He is a true entrepreneur who started a small pizza business here in Trenton and has grown Jim’s Pizza and Tomasso’s Italian Grille into the most successful restaurant in the Quinte region.” Tom Kotsovos moved to the Trenton area in 1970 and has said that he fell in love with the area the first time he drove over the bridge. He and his brother started a small pizza and pasta place called Jim’s Pizza. In 1990 he bought his brother out and opened up a second business, Tomasso’s Casual Dining, which has grown into its current location on the banks of the beautiful Trent River. In the past few years Tom and his sons created a development company called Kotsovos Brothers Inc and purchased and developed the property

Loyalist recognized for “green” project By Steve Jessel

News - When Loyalist College completed its new Sustainable Skills, Technology and Life Sciences Centre in March of 2011, there was a heavy emphasis on making the space as “green” as possible. Energy and water efficiencies, specialized lighting and reuse of existing building materials were all key components of the project. On January 22, the Minister of State for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario, Gary Goodyear, visited Loyalist to honour the college with a LEED silver certification from the Canada Green Building Council. “Environmental sustainability is a priority for Loyalist, and we are delighted to receive LEED Silver Certification,” said Loyalist College President Maureen Piercy. “In addition to minimizing the college’s environmental impact through green building in the Skills Centre, we promote prudent and creative management of our social, economic and environmental resources. Our goal is to provide leadership in sustainability, and help to educate our students, staff, and communities to make a positive difference today and in the future.” Work on the 121,800 square-foot skills centre first began in 2007, to help the college address a gap in training for students in the technology and life sciences fields. Construction on the centre began in January of 2010, and it was officially opened in June of 2011 as a multi-use, sustainable hub for skills training. The project was funded in part by $16.6 million provided by the Federal Knowledge Infrastructure Program. “We came up with the money, you came up with the project,” Goodyear said. “You pushed the developers and the plumbers and the drywallers and the architects... all of you are the unsung heroes of this nations success.” Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a green building rat-

ing system that is recognized in over 132 countries worldwide. LEED certification provides independent, third party certification that a building was designed and constructed using strategies aimed at sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality. “It’s actually saving universities and colleges about $23 million in reduced expenses for heat and hydro,” Goodyear said. “That’s taking about 175,000 tons of greenhouse gasses out of the atmosphere, which is about the equivalent of 34,000 cars that have been taken off of our highways just because you decided to build a building that qualified for LEED silver certification.” The 121,800 square-foot Skills Centre features 50,950 square feet of re-purposed

“green” space, and an additional 70,850 square feet of new, flexible space for teaching, laboratories, shops, research labs and classrooms. The new space is linked to the repurposed space with the Link Lounge, which features a living wall. “Congratulations to Loyalist College’s Sustainable Skills, Technology and Life Sciences Centre on earning LEED Silver certification,” said Thomas Mueller, President and CEO of the Canada Green Building Council. “Creating sustainable environments for learning is important. This facility also includes space for demonstrating local partnerships in the areas of manufacturing, skilled trades, biofood and biosciences, emphasizing the interconnected and multidimensional nature of sustainability to future generations of professionals.”

on the biodiversity of where we live – so unique it has its own name - The Land Between. This is the second event in the Hastings Stewardship Council Winter Speaker Series. Emily Conger, president of Algonquin to Adirondacks Collaborative (A2A) and Leora Berman, CEO of The Land Between present the story of diversity and fragility right here where we live. The A2A area stretches from Algonquin Park in Ontario to Adirondack Park in New York State. The Land Between extends from Georgian Bay to the Frontenac Arch. The overlap of these two regions includes most of southeastern Ontario. Emily Conger tells the story of Alice the Moose, the icon of Algonquin to Adirondacks. After a 570-km trek from Adirondack Park to Algonquin Park, Alice represents the value of a critical path for migrating wildlife. Visit www.a2alink.org for

more on the A2A area. Alice shows that our region is biologically diverse but fragile. Much of the north-south wildlife movement in eastern North America occurs here, and affects all of us who live here. Learn more about our unique native species, such as the osprey and the five-lined skink, why they are important, and how you can help protect them. Leora Berman emphasizes the landscape that Alice moves through and how Alice benefits from the unique plants and animals that don’t migrate. This region has the highest habitat diversity in Ontario, the most shorelines, and some of the rarest wildlife. It is the meeting point and refuge for species from the north and the south: crow and raven; moose and deer; strawberry and blueberry; white oak and jack pine. The unique adaptations and connections will be showcased in this presentation about greater ap-

Connected to your community OPINION Shades of Newhart The Arab Spring three years on By Terry Bush

Editorial – It has taken a little longer than it did after the 1848 revolutions in Europe, but on the third anniversary of the Egyptian revolution we can definitely say that the “Arab Spring” is finished. The popular, mostly non-violent revolutions that tried to overthrow the single-party dictatorships and absolute monarchies of the Arab world had their moments of glory, but the party is over and the bosses are back. In many places the Arab revolutionaries had startlingly quick successes at first – Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen – just like the French, German, and Italian revoluGwynne Dyer tionaries did in Europe’s “Springtime of the Peoples”. For a time it looked like everything would change. Then came the counter-revolutions and it all fell apart, leaving only a few countries permanently changed for the better like Denmark then, or Tunisia in today’s Arab world. The disheartening parallels are particularly strong between Egypt, by far the biggest country in the Arab world, and France, which was Europe’s most important and populous country in 1848. In both cases, the revolutions at first brought free media, civil rights and free elections, but also a great deal of social turmoil and disorientation. In both France and Egypt the newly enfranchised masses then elected presidents whose background alarmed much of the population: a nephew of Napoleon in one case, a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in the other. And here the stories diverge for a time but the ending, alas, does not. In France, President Louis Napoleon launched a coup against his own presidency, and re-emerged in 1852 as Emperor Napoleon III. It had been a turbulent few years, and by then a large majority of the French were willing to vote for him because he represented authority, stability and tradition. They threw away their own democracy. In Egypt last year, the army allied itself with former revolutionaries to overthrow the elected president, Mohamed

Morsi and within a few months, after an election which will genuinely represent the wish of most Egyptians to trade their new democracy for authority, stability and tradition, Field Marshal Abdel Fatah al-Sisi will duly assume the presidency. The counter-revolution is as popular in Egypt now as it was in France then. And if you fear that this analogy is really relevant, then here’s the worst of it. After the defeat of the 1848 revolutions, there were no further democratic revolutions in Europe for twenty years. If that timetable were also to apply to the Arab world, then the next round of democratic revolutions would only be due around 2035. But it probably doesn’t apply. There is one key difference between the European revolutions of 1848 and the Arab revolutions of 2011. The 1848 revolutions were violent explosions of popular anger that succeeded in hours or days, while those of 2010-11 were largely non-violent, more calculated struggles that took much longer to win. Non-violent revolutions give millions of people time to think about why they are taking these risks and what they hope to get out of it. They may still lose focus, take wrong turns, even throw all their gains away. Mistakes are human, and so is failure. But once people have participated in a non-violent revolution they are permanently politicised, and in the long run they are quite likely to remember what they came for. The most promising candidate to succeed Gene Sharp as the world authority on non-violent revolutions is Erica Chernoweth, a young American academic who co-wrote the study “Why Civil Resistance Works: The Strategic Logic of NonViolent Conflict” with diplomat Maria Stephan. A lot of their book is about why non-violent revolution succeeds or fails, but most interesting of all are their statistics about how often it succeeds. Their headline statistic is that violent revolutionary struggles succeed in overthrowing an oppressive regime only 30 percent of the time, whereas non-violent campaigns succeed almost 60 percent of the time. By that standard, the Arab world is certainly under-performing.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Time to revolutionize our hydro system Dear Editor, It has taken the municipalities a very long time to finally react to the corruption of the provincial government regarding energy costs but it now looks as though the dam has finally burst. Both Havelock-Belmont-Methuen and Trent Hills’ councils have come out in protest of the province’s intention of raising hydro costs another 42 per cent over the next five years. This, of course, is just more political strategy in defence of the libleft’s general mismanagement of the economy and so they can continue to bankroll their now infamous Green Energy Act come hell or high water. This Liberal government believes it has the right to use your hard-earned tax dollars to subsidize its plan to build wind turbines and solar panels, which won’t even make a small dent in our energy crisis situation for at least another 50 years. However, the Liberals aren’t really concerned about doubling or tripling hydro costs on seniors or residents on fixed incomes. They seem to be saying let them freeze in their homes during the cold winter months if they are opposed to joining the green generation. Trent Hills’ Mayor Hector Macmillan got the municipal protest campaign going a few weeks ago and now HBM has added its voice to the protest. Macmillan has written to the Ontario Ombudsman to protest the absolutely ridiculous plan

Quinte West News

to skyrocket the hydro rates into the stratosphere. The HBM resolution calls for an independent review of Hydro One and how it operates. That review should include the management salary structure and a financial statement showing exactly where all the money goes. Consumers shouldn’t just be taken for granted anymore. I want to know, in particular, just how much of our hydro dollars are going to bribe investors into subsidizing wind turbines and solar panel construction. Why is it that our representatives provincially and federally are not acting in the best interests of the people who elect them? Hydro One appears to operate basically without scrutiny or accountability. HBM Mayor Ron Gerow summed it up accurately when he noted: “We need to take a look at the overall costs of operating and providing electricity to the residents of Ontario at affordable rates that are sustainable.” It’s about time to change the old “business as usual” pattern when it comes to an affordable supply of energy in this province. In the meantime, it’s extremely important for all of the municipalities to keep the pressure on the province to do something useful for the taxpayers rather than acting simply in their own best political interests. Rolly Ethier, Campbellford

Editorial - You remember the “Newhart” show back in the 80s that starred Mary Frann and her sweaters. I’m not talking about “The Bob Newhart Show” which ran in the 70s or the short-lived “Bob” show which ran in the 90s or the “The” show that was on in the early 2000s. I made up that last one but there’s still time if Bob wants to give sitcoms one more shot. The Newhart I’m taking about also starred Tom Poston as George Utley, the handyman at Bob’s New England inn. I can vaguely remember an episode where the whole town was in an uproar because George was considering cheering for a new baseball team because he was fed up with, and correct me if I’m wrong, the Boston Red Sox. While discussing his dilemma with Bob, it was suggested that the Toronto Blue Jays might be worthy of George’s support. George however, didn’t think he could cheer for the Blue Jays because, despite the fact that they were pretty birds, they were just too bossy and pushy around the feeder. I know how George feels. On any given year, we welcome a wide variety of fine-feathered friends to our feeders for a bite to eat. Now with over a foot of snow on the ground, feeding the birds has become a daily ritual. Last year we had all kinds of gold finches, disguised in their somewhat dull winter plumage. We also enjoyed assorted sparrows and house finches, a few blue jays, a dozen or so chickadees, some downy and hairy woodpeckers, the occasional grosbeak and even the neighbourhood pileated woodpecker stopped by for a morsel or two. Dropping by on a daily basis were eight red squirrels and a couple of black squirrels. Everyone pretty much got along too. With such diversity, it was almost a joy to wash the pots and pans as most of the activity took place right outside the kitchen window. This year we have blue jays ... big fat ones. While I agree with George Utley that they are pretty birds, I could easily live without them. At 7 a.m. each morning there are two jays waiting by the feeder. As soon as they see me, they sound the alarm and within seconds, 30 of the darn things arrive to take over the place. I’ve tried throwing sunflower seeds off to one side to keep them happy while I put out some finch mix in another location but what do they do? They go and eat all the finch mix and then head over to the sunflower seeds to make sure nobody else gets fed. We throw old kibble out to try to distract them and they gobble it up, eat the finch mix and then eat all the sunflower seeds. So, because the feeders are a little boring this year, I’ve taken to trying to feed other things. With a winter like this one, everyone could use a little help. When my wife Mare had the unfortunate experience of hitting what she thought was a lump of brown snow in the centre of the road, we took that grouse and put it on a trail that a little fox used. Within a couple of days, the grouse was history. When more snow and ice made it even more difficult to forage, I put some kibble in the same location to lend the fox a helping hand. Because it usually dropped by at night, I set up a trail cam to see if we could get some photos. And when I excitedly plugged that card into my computer what did I find ... close to ten blue jays. Even so, I figured it was worth another shot. More kibble, more blue jays. When I took the camera down, we were rewarded with a couple of holes that the fox had dug looking for the food it could smell but not see. So I turned my attention to feeding the deer as they’re having a tough go this winter. I set the camera up again in a different location and laid out the deer ration. I was excited when I saw over 200 photos had been taken over two days. That excitement quickly vanished when the computer revealed a dozen blue jays in various stages of flight. Trying to solve my ongoing problem, I moved my operation to the middle of a cedar bush figuring there was no way those darn birds would see it; more jays. So, thanks to the blue jays, I’ve pretty much given up trying to feed any other animals this winter. I’m sure at this stage of the game my wife is thinking I’m on my way to going a little nuts. Anyone pulling into our driveway would no doubt concur if they caught sight of the crazy person constantly yelling and waving his arms in the kitchen window. As the next door neighbour said on Sunday, “The blue jays around my place are as big as grouse this year.” I said that’s because they’re eating me out of house and home. It’s gotten so bad, I’ve almost started to have fantasies about Italians and not the type that look like Sofia Loren. I mean the ones from Toronto we constantly had to chase off our property back in the seventies when they came to shoot anything that moved even blue jays. I’m not quite to that point yet but I am so far gone that I laugh when the turkeys show up under the feeders to vacuum everything up. Expensive maybe, but it does my heart good to see something get the best of the blue jays now and then.

In a meeting with Leal after his tour at GlobalMed, Rolland got a promise to review the issues. “Give me a solid business approach alternative and I will take your plan to the powers that be,” Leal said. “I want a firm proposal with details, a business approach.” Rolland says it has been hell for four years fighting this.

We need alternatives to not gut our businesses.” He said he has spoken to Premier Kathleen Wynne, the former Minister of Education, and former Premier Dalton McGuinty but was put on hold. “If you care about rural Ontario you can’t afford to let us be railroaded out of business,” Rolland said. “I’ll be on welfare.” Leal promised, “I will do my best.”

Notable cases in 2013 include a robbery with a weapon at Karten Metals in June. This case is still before the courts. Another case was a multiple stabbing on September 14 where the victim’s common-law wife was charged with spousal assault. In November, 47-year-old Charles Dopking went missing while fishing and has not been located. During the spring of 2013 a series of break and enters took place on Hwy. 2 east of Quinte West, involving stored boats at Bay Marine. A 17-year-old male was arrested on DNA evidence and charged. Community Service is a big part of the OPP commitment and included a Seniors Fraud program, a Distracted Driving Awareness

program, the PARTY program (Prevent Alcohol and Risk Related Trauma) at Trenton Memorial Hospital, and a Heroes Youth Camp including the military police, fire department and OPP marine unit. In the schools, new resource officer Maggie McCaughen helped organize events and programs including the Pedal for Hope, Distracted Driving Kills, Bicycle Rodeos, the High-A-Tree program, the War Amps Play Safe programs, the KIDS program and the Festive RIDE campaign. OPP officers are currently being trained on how to use taser guns (Conducted Energy Weapons) for a use-of-force option. Previously only supervisors and second-in-charge officers were authorized to carry the weapons. Effective November 25, 2013

Upcoming Regional Community Meeting on the Large Renewable Energy Procurement Process The Ontario Power Authority (OPA) is developing a new competitive procurement process for large renewable energy projects and is holding four regional community meetings to continue the dialogue with Ontarians. On June 12, 2013, the Minister of Energy directed the OPA to remove projects larger than 500 kilowatts from the Feed-in Tariff program and to develop a new Large Renewable Procurement (LRP) process that considers input from people, municipalities, stakeholders and First Nation and Métis communities. Following an initial dialogue with stakeholders and communities, the OPA provided the Minister with an interim recommendations report on August 30, 2013. The OPA invites you to attend the eastern Ontario community meeting to provide input into the development of the LRP process in advance of its anticipated launch in 2014.

COMMUNITY MEETING February 4, 2014 6:00-8:00 PM Strathcona Paper Centre, Lafarge Banquet Hall 16 McPherson Drive, Napanee Presentation at 6:30 PM Discussion period to follow

Polling stations set up for October municipal election

Snowday Residents were shovelling out after a huge snowfall and windy conditions on the weekend. More snow in the forecast!

By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West – Polling stations have been approved for the 2014 municipal election. “It is recommended that all 18 polls remain to accommodate and provide service levels that the voting public has become accustomed to,” says city clerk Kevin Heath. It had been suggested that fewer polling stations might be required with the introduction of Internet voting. “Until such time as data is collected to understand the effect of Internet voting on the municipal election, it will remain the same,” he said. This includes seven in Trenton, six in Sidney, four in Murray and one in

Frankford. A review of past elections was conducted. All statistical data and logistics were taken into account including number of eligible voters, voter turnout by poll, service levels, stafﬁng levels, public interest and the physical size of polling locations. “Changes may be possible in 2018,” he noted. Internet advance voting will begin October 15 and end October 24. This will allow 9.5 days of internet voting with a 48 hour cutoff prior to election day on October 27. Paper ballot advance voting runs from October 18 to 22 in Frankford Lions Centre, Lower Trent Conservation Ofﬁce, Centennial Hall and city hall in Trenton. A list of nominees for city councillors, mayor and board of education is updated daily on the city website. This currently includes Duncan Armstrong for Trenton Ward, Jim Harrison for mayor, Fred Kuypers for Trenton Ward, Jeff Brophy for Frankford, David McCue for Murray Ward and Jim Williams for trustee Hastings and Prince Edward District Public School Board.

PSB starts search for new chief

Sensitive?

Tooth sensitivity is a very common condition that affects people of all ages. It is estimated that tooth sensitivity, or dentin hypersensitivity, affects approximately 15% of the general population. It is also more commonly seen in individuals aged 20-50 years of age. The causes of dentin hypersensitivity include: • Excessive or forceful tooth brushing • Gum disease • Acid erosion • Dental bleaching In all of the above situations, the dentin of the tooth is exposed either by the receding of gums or loss of tooth structure. Dentin is a part of the tooth that has many small channels that run from the outside of the tooth towards the center where the nerve is contained. If dentin is exposed and these channels or tubules are open, changes in temperature, air pressure or even sugary substances can cause the nerve of the tooth to be stimulated. We experience this as pain. It is usually of short duration and is sharp in nature. Treatment for sensitive teeth The best treatment for dentin hypersensitivity is preventing the causes of

sensitivity from occurring in the first place. Prevention includes: “And if everyone • Using a soft bristle toothbrush with a nonworks together, abrasive toothpaste we can move • Avoid consuming very this municipality acidic foods and beverages • If you suffer from forward.” conditions such as GERD (acid reflux), see your Dier says the turnout and doctor for treatment obvious interest shown at the • Avoid brushing your meeting was encouraging to teeth immediately after board members as they emconsuming acidic foods • Regular flossing coupled with regular visits to your dentist to prevent gum disease Ifyouhavealreadyencountered dentin hypersensitivity, there are two categories of treatment that can be helpful, home treatment and in-office treatment.

bark on what they agree is a critical decision for the municipality that is expected to take about four months. While Dier admits the call for public input is not a requirement, the board opted to open the process up to ensure transparency and provide an opportunity for comment and feedback. In addressing the crowd shortly after the meeting began, Mayor Cooney noted that while he was not wearing his mayoral hat but attending as a member of the PSB, he stressed the importance of communication and cooperation between departments, boards and committees. “And if everyone works together,” he says, “we can move this municipality forward.” While that is happening at the moment, Cooney says, further interdepartmental cooperation could result in the provision of services at a reduced cost.

Stirling-Rawdon Police Services Board Chair Tara Dier (centre) answers a question during a recent public meeting held last week to discuss the hiring of a new police chief. Dier is joined by PSB members Kim Whiteman and Wilfred Shier.

When the floor was opened for questions and comments, issues ranging from the possibility of hiring a retired officer to seeking specific post-secondary accreditation beyond the required police training were discussed. Many in the room openly agreed with the board on matters such as community policing, visibility and maintaining a downtown presence as well as the expectation that the new chief be a positive role

model actively involved and engaged in the community and be accessible and approachable by residents here. Dier noted that while the board, “has very little to say about the operational side of it . . . we can give general direction.” And because it is the chief of police who ultimately makes those operational decisions, she says the board wants to ensure the best possible candidate is selected.

“It’s a big process,” Cooney says, “and you want to be as close to perfect as you can be.” The board will continue with advertising and accepting submissions, followed by interviews for top candidates and the final decision, expected some time in the spring. While board members will conduct the interviews, Cooney says, exactly who will be on the panel has not been decided.

Speaker Series starts with full house

Lifestyles – If the response to the ﬁrst installment of this year’s Winter Speaker Series is any indication, future attendees might consider arriving early to ensure themselves a seat. The series, organized by The Hastings Stewardship Council began last week and organizers were impressed by both the size of the crowd and the number of unfamiliar faces in attendance. Council Coordinator Matt Caruana says about 200 people arrived at the Gerry Masterson Township of Thurlow Community Centre on Harmony Road in Belleville to hear the series’ ﬁrst presenter, Trent University researcher and lecturer Dr. Linda Rutledge, who offered some insights into the hybridization of the Eastern Wolf. “It

was really fascinating,” says Caruana of Rutledge’s address. “We live in such an interesting area here.” Caruana notes that this part of eastern Ontario has a unique topography and climate that represents a crossroads where the northern and southern limits of various plants and animals can be found. The result, he says, is a natural diversity where species rarely seen together can cohabit. And as the Winter Speaker Series continues, other notable presenters will be sharing their knowledge of a range of land ownership and environmental issues. The series, Caruana explains, has been organized with many different aspects of the land and its inhabitants in mind. Topics range from wildlife to gar-

dening. And while some sessions will be of particular interest to farmers and landowners, Caruana notes, all are open to the public and anyone interested in the presentations is welcome to attend. “We want people to know what we do,” he adds of the Hastings Stewardship Council. The Speaker Series will be held with each session beginning at 7 p.m. Admission is free but donations are gladly accepted and refreshments will be served. Future sessions will be held on Thursday nights with the second presentation scheduled for Feb. 13, when A2A (Algonquin to Adirondacks Collaboration) President Emily Conger and Corporate Founder and CEO of The Land Between, Leora Berman, will discuss The

Biodiversity Project. “I’m looking forward to that,” Caruana says of the upcoming session, adding scheduled speakers Conger and Berman are highly regarded for their work. Future sessions include February 27, when Ontario Federation of Agriculture Vice President Don McCabe will discuss soil stewardship, and, just in time for spring planting, the series wraps up on March 27, when Bea Heissler and Terry Sprague will focus on planting for wildlife.

Attendance at past sessions has been impressive as well, he explains, so the interest in land use issues is certainly widely shared. But it was particularly gratifying to start the series off on a high note, Caurana says, and to “see so many new faces.” For further information on the Winter Speaker Series, the woodlot conference or to learn more about the Hastings Stewardship Council, contact Caruana at 613-391-9034 or info@hastingsstweardshp.ca or visit hastingsstewardship.ca.

Vice President John Seniuk (right) shakes hands with Jeff Leal. Photo: Kate Everson

News - Quinte West â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Minister of Rural Affairs Jeff Leal has announced that Ontario is providing a grant of $467,522 towards new technology and equipment at GlobalMed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ontario is helping GlobalMed invest in new technology and grow its business while creating 10 new jobs and retaining 180 jobs in Quinte West,â&#x20AC;? Leal said. The total value of the project is $4.7 million. Vice President John Seniuk said the company started in 1999 making medical ďŹ ttings with non-invasive tubing that sells to over 30 companies all over the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started with 35 employees and now we have almost 200,â&#x20AC;? he said.â&#x20AC;&#x153;This company is recession-proof.â&#x20AC;? Jeff Leal said it is important to invest in Canadian companies to keep them from going to the United States. He noted that many states have million dollar incentives to lure companies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are the challenges facing the government,â&#x20AC;? he said. Leal noted that GlobalMed won a Business Achievement Award.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to see GlobalMed get recognized,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor John Williams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a great contribution to the city.â&#x20AC;?

Busy February for Empire Theatre

R0012514405

By Steve Jessel

Entertainment – Belleville – It’s going to be a busy year of live music and entertainment at the Empire Theatre in 2014, and the coming weeks and months are jam-packed with big-name performers set to hit the stage in Belleville. Coming up first, the Empire is hosting a pair of third party events taking place on January 31 and February 4, respectively. First, on January 31 the Empire Theatre hosts the Quinte Red Devils AAA comedy night featuring the talents of stand-up comedian Ryan Dennee. A native of Kingston, Dennee has been performing since 2006, and today is regularly featured on live radio in Kingston, on XM radio, and The Cottage Country Comedy Festival, while also appearing in commercials and acting as the lead writer of his sketch troupe Chucky Ar La. Tickets are $20 with proceeds benefiting the QRMHA. Next, on February 4 comes the musical comedy ‘SPANK! The Fifty Shades Parody’ featuring a clever reimagining of the characters from the best-selling book. The show premiered in 2011 and has since become a huge hit, with tour dates in over 250 cities in Canada and the U.S. Tickets for both the Quinte Red Devils comedy night and SPANK! are still available. Next on the docket is a treat for fans of the older episodes of Saturday Night Live, as the veteran comedic trio of Rob Schneider, Chris Kattan and Tim Meadows visit the Empire Theatre on February 7 for an evening performance.

Schneider is of course well-known for his stable of hit Hollywood movies and characters, and comedy fans will likely remember Kattan for his memorable stint alongside Will Ferrell in the popular comedy A Night at the Roxbury. Meanwhile, Meadows is known as one the longest-serving SNL cast members of all-time, often spoofing pop culture figures like O.J. Simpson, Micheal Jackson and Tiger Woods, and today regularly appears in movies such as Mean Girls and Semi-Pro. “Rob Schneider, well I think he’s been in every Adam Sandler movie ever made,” laughed Empire Theatre promoter Andy Forgie. “It’s going to be really interesting to see what they do together on stage.” Then, on February 18 the Empire welcomes one of Canada’s most respected musical artists, Bruce Cockburn. The 13 -time Juno-award winning artist will be performing solo for the first time in Belleville after performing at the Empire three times before, and Forgie was highly complimentary of the legendary songwriter. “He’s a legend,” Forgie said. “He’s won a basket full of Junos and won every imaginable award ... He’s a Canadian icon, and he’s a lot more than just folk. He’s folk, he’s jazz, he’s avant-garde... he’s just written some really memorable songs.” Finally, to help close out the month of February, the Empire Theatre will once more host the always popular Matt Anderson on February 21. Most recently performing in Belleville at Empire

SNL and comedy veteran Rob Schneider will be joined by fellow comedians Chris Kattan and Tim Meadows for a show at the Empire Theatre on February 7. Tickets are still available. Photo: Submitted

Rockfest this past summer, Anderson is no stranger to the Empire stage, and Forgie said he was looking forward to yet another great performance from the blues musician. “What can you say about Anderson ... he’s a monster,” Forgie said. “There’s nobody that can step out and command an audience like that, that I’ve ever seen. He’s bigger than life ... he’s such a nice guy but he’s so commanding.” For more information on upcoming events at the Empire theatre, visit www. theempiretheatre.com.

Hill is holding a community bonfire with a S’Mores station; there are horse-drawn carriage rides sponsored by the Batawa Development Corporation, lunch and outdoor skating with the Trenton Golden Hawks, and a special performance by the Ice Wine Synchronized Skating Team at 11:30 a.m.,” Vickers adds. The Ice Wine Synchronized Skating Team began in 1994 as a small recreational team, and has now progressed to a competitive Adult Synchronized Skating team. “The Ice Wine Synchro Team is honoured to have been asked to participate in Quinte West Frostfest, being held at the Batawa Community Centre. The skaters are looking forward to demonstrating a warm up session and then skating their competitive program,” says Merry Tinsley, team manager. Synchronized skating is a large and fast-growing discipline of figure skating, where eight to 20 skaters skate on ice as a team, moving as one flowing unit at high speeds. The team performs a program to music with required formations. It consists of women ages 22 years and older who travel from all areas of the Quinte-Prince Edward region to practice both on and off the ice every week. This year the Ice Wine Team competed at the Central Ontario Winterfest Synchronized Skating competition in Mississauga and will compete at the 2014 Ontario Regional Synchronized Skating Championships in Waterloo at the beginning of February. Batawa Ski Hill staff will also be onsite handing out $5 coupons towards lift tickets for Saturday night. Lunch will be hosted by Seniors Unlimited and will be available at a small cost. If you would like more information about the Frostfest, please contact Colleen Vickers at 613-392-2841 or visit www.quintewest.ca

News – Quinte West – Life-long resident of Murray Ward, Dave McCue has filed his nomination papers to run for councillor in this fall’s municipal election. “I’ll be 65 in March,” he says. “It’s time to do more for the community.” Dave is already an acting captain of Station 2 Quinte West Fire Department with 37 years of volunteers service with emergency services, and has taken part in the Firefighter Combat Team for 12 years. He is the team’s oldest member and the co-holder of several national titles. “I was the oldest Canadian firefighter still competing,” he said with a smile. “I was in the over 50 category. This year I’ll be in the over 65 category, if they have one.” He says he needs to get back in shape for this year’s events, but he isn’t too worried. He is a man on the go. Dave was a SCUBA diver for many years and is past commodore and current member of the Trenton Yacht Club. He is a founding member and chief of the Trent Valley Rescue Squad. He owns several businesses and has invented several pieces of rescue equipment. Currently he is a director with the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce and chairman of the 2014 Santa Claus parade. Dave was raised on a farm on

the 8th line of Murray and has been married to Margaret for 41 years and. They have five children and nine grandchildren. He graduated from the Humber College funeral program and has been a licenced funeral director since 1972. “For years I have had a desire to run for city council,” he says. “When I heard that Jim Harrison was running for mayor I jumped at the opportunity to put my name on the ballot.” Dave says his heart is in Quinte West and he feels it his duty to keep improving on the place that six generations of his family have called home. He is interested in helping the hospital stay viable, continuing to encourage growth in all sectors and ensuring the new marina and Public Works buildings are completed on time and on budget. He also feels it is time to explore a new police and fire station. “We need to find ways to get more good paying jobs to the Quinte region,” he adds. “I want to explore ways to lessen some of our citizens’ (especially the children’s) dependency on food banks and clothing programs.” Dave notes the air base is a source of pride and a provider of financial support. He wants to make sure those dollars are spent in support of the needs of all the citizens of Quinte West. Dave McCue is running for councillor in Murray Ward. Photo: Kate Everson

TRAVEL

Relaxing in Iceland’s renowned Blue Lagoon After exploring the city itself, I’d recommend taking a tour of more of this unique country via the “Golden Circle Tour” (which I’ve already written about in a previous travel article) and I’d also recommend a visit to Iceland’s nearby Blue Lagoon. After all, I believe that a visit to this renowned attraction is an integral part of any trip to this fascinating country and it’s very easy to reach. You can board a bus right at the airport that will take you there in about 20 minutes or you can make a stop on your way back to the airport before your planned departure. I purchased my “Blue Lagoon Tour” ticket from Reykjavik Excursions (www.re.is/DayTours/BlueLagoon) while in the capital, and I was taken to the lagoon on my way to the airport (and my luggage was safely stored there while I bathed and enjoyed this facility). I discovered that this popular lagoon is located right in the middle of a large lava ﬁeld, and it’s actually ﬁlled with hot water that comes from a nearby geothermal power plant. When the power plant was built, it was believed that the runoff water would quickly soak back into the earth, but the silica in the water forms a bottom layer on the ground and keeps it from being absorbed back into the ground fast enough. Therefore, it was decided that this water could be utilized for a spa and bathing area, and the Blue Lagoon was ‘born’ in 1991. This large, wondrous facility holds six million litres of Steam rises off the Blue Lagoon, with lava rocks visible in the background By John M. Smith

Lifestyles - When I flew from Toronto to Iceland (via Icelandair), I landed at Keflavik airport near Reykjavik the capital. It’s just over a five hour direct flight, and I found that this intriguing destination was definitely worth a visit. A bus ride (via Flybus) is the most convenient way to get from the airport into the capital city (and this bus shuttle can be pre-booked from right here in Canada, via the Internet: www. re.is/flybus). As the bus wound its way toward Reykjavik, I encountered an awesome, almost ‘other worldly’ landscape of lava rock, steam rising out of the earth, and distant snowcapped mountains. When I arrived in the capital city itself, I discovered that over half the population of the entire country resided in this area (this situation reminded me somewhat of Winnipeg, Manitoba, for more than half of the population of that entire Canadian province lives in that one city, too). While in Reykjavik, I’d certainly recommend checking out the National Museum of Iceland, for its exhibits span the period of more than 1100 years of Iceland’s history in chronological order. It’s believed that Iceland was settled by Vikings around 900 AD. I found this museum to be very informative, and it includes a hands-on section with games, costumes, and replica weapons. I’d also recommend a visit to the unique setting of Reykjavik’s beautiful City Hall on the shore of Lake Tjornin.

geothermal seawater, which is renewed every forty hours and this steamy water is loaded with minerals, including silica and sulphur and is reputed to help people suffering from certain skin problems, including psoriasis. There’s no chlorine added because common bacteria don’t thrive in this ecosystem and you’ll find the water temperature to be about 100 F/38 C, though you’ll find varying hot and cold spots as you move around. There are different depths and areas for relaxation, including ledges for sitting and small caves for privacy. When I entered the facility, I was given a wristband with a chip. This allowed me entrance and use of the facilities and I could even wade out to the pool’s bar and buy an expensive drink using the chip and then pay for it when I left. There was also a café and a shop with Blue Lagoon health products for sale. The chip also helped me identify my locker number after my visit so that I could retrieve my stored clothes and I found rather powerful hair dryers in the change area so that I could at least partially dry my swim trunks before repacking them and going to the airport. Spa treatments and massages using Blue Lagoon products are available on site, and you can decide to enjoy some fine dining or even stay overnight at the nearby Blue Lagoon Clinic Hotel (just a five minute walk away). I visited this facility in the summer season, but I imagine that it would be quite an experience in the winter, too, for I could then be bathing in this hot, healthy water while surrounded by snow!

Winter weather wipes out Winterfest Brighton â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It was a case of too much winter last weekend for organizers of the 20th anniversary and ďŹ nale of Brighton Winterfest as the region was pounded with driving snow and high winds. Early events on Saturday went ahead without a hitch. The Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Breakfast at the community centre attracted about 100 hungry diners along with the third annual â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rink, Rock and Rollâ&#x20AC;? at the curling club and the show went on with a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entertainer from Ajax. But then, things got much worse as Old Man Winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stormy blast affected the entire region. By mid-morning Saturday, Northumberland Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) issued a media release advising snowplows at Hamilton Township and the Municipality of Brighton had been taken off the roads because of severe weather conditions and poor visibility. For safety reasons, police would be responding to priority incidents only in both areas. The public was requested to avoid any unnecessary travel until weather and road conditions improved. Minutes later, OPP were at the scene of a multi-vehicle collision on the eastbound lanes of Highway 401 near Cobourg where 30 vehicles, including six tractor trailers, were involved in a series of collisions. Two ďŹ re trucks and an ambulance were also struck, with no injuries reported to emergency services staff. At the same time, east of Brighton,

Quinte West OPP reported both east and westbound lanes of Highway 401 were closed from Wallbridge-Loyalist Road to Marysville. At 1:30 p.m., Hamilton Township declared a state of emergency due to white-outs, blocked roads and extremely slippery road conditions causing severe safety concerns for workers and residents of the municipality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The weather conditions have taxed our municipal roads department resources,â&#x20AC;? read a press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Additional assistance has been called in to support the

clearing and cleaning of roads.â&#x20AC;? On Monday, Northumberland OPP reported they responded to 130 collisions throughout the county and municipal roadways from midnight January 24 to 7 a.m. January 27. As well, three police cruisers were damaged as a result of motorists colliding with them while ofďŹ cers were investigating a crash. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we did pretty well to get in what we did,â&#x20AC;? said Winterfest co-organizer Doug Platt who, along with Derek Madder, took the reins from founder Claude Thompson. Platt spent some con-

siderable time on the telephone cancelling later Saturday events and took it all in stride. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way Mother Nature is,â&#x20AC;? he said. When asked if this year does indeed mark the ďŹ nal Winterfest in Brighton, Platt cited the lack of volunteers and funding, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to do something else but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure some of the events will go on.â&#x20AC;? But he is determined Winterfest will go out with a bang. The giant bonďŹ re and ďŹ reworks have been rescheduled for 6 p.m. on February 1 at King Edward Park.

Gaunce returns to Belleville; Bulls fall to Otters

By Steve Jessel

Sports – Belleville – When the Bellevlle Bulls hosted the Erie Otters Monday night, Bulls fans may have noticed a couple of familiar faces wearing Erie uniforms. Former Bulls forwards Brendan Gaunce and Michael Curtis played a combined 510 regular season and postseason games with the Bulls after being drafted in 2010 and 2009, respectively, and on Monday the two played their ﬁrst game back in Belleville after separate trades sent them to Erie this past year. “It was deﬁnitely different being on this side of the ice,” Gaunce said following the game, a 4-1 Erie win. “I had been here since I was 16, so it was hard to leave.” While the hometown Bulls fans were mostly quiet to the sight of Gaunce on the ice, a few of his old jerseys could be seen sprinkled

throughout the crowd during the game, and at the ﬁrst intermission the Bulls played a tribute to both Gaunce and Curtis on the screen at centre ice. “I didn’t come in expecting much, but that was very nice of them,” Gaunce, the former Bulls captain said. “It’s good that I left some sort of memories, even if they were good or bad.” Following the game, Bulls head coach and general manager George Burnett said it wasn’t an easy choice to trade either player, but said that he wished them the best moving forward in their hockey careers. “It’s great to see them doing well,” Burnett said. “We didn’t need to see them play well tonight, but we thought it was important to recognize the efforts of both of those guys during their four years here. Both were big parts of our franchise

and will always be remembered fondly as good people and good Belleville Bulls.” On the ice, not many people would have given the Bulls much of a chance against the high-flying Otters’ offense on Monday night, but Belleville found a spark from an unexpected place. Recently-acquired goaltender Micheal Giugovaz was making his first home start after being brought over from Peterborough before the OHL trade deadline, and he gave fans something to be excited about with a stellar 14-save opening period. The Bulls, outshot 10-1 in the opening minutes, seemed to feed off their goaltender’s energy, and would outshoot the Otters 11-4 over the rest of the frame, but heading into the first intermission the score was still knotted at 0-0. “I thought our compete level

minutes later, bur Cramarossa also picked up an instigator penalty on the play to give Erie the man advantage. Giving the OHL’s second highest scoring offense any kind of opportunity is usually bad news for the opposition, and Erie would make Belleville pay when the Otters’ Dane Fox buried his OHLleading 52nd goal of the season not long after. This marked the beginning of the end for the Bulls, who despite playing well above the level of their last-place OHL standing couldn’t overcome a stacked Erie lineup. Erie’s Dylan Strome added another goal before the end of

the period to give the Otters a 2-1 lead heading into the third, and Erie rookie Andre Burakovsky’s 27th goal of the season was more than enough for Erie to pull out the victory. Gaunce would pick up an assist on OHL-leading scorer Connor Brown’s empty net goal in the dying seconds, and the Otters cruised to a 4-1 win. “We showed a lot of team (chemistry) tonight, but we still have to be better at capitalizing on our opportunities,” Burnett said. The Bulls don’t play again at home until February 8, when they host the Sarnia Sting at Yardmen Arena in Belleville.

Sports – The Quinte Red Devils Minor Midget hockey squad faced a tall task on Sunday afternoon. Down three defensemen and a pair of forwards, the team faced off against one of the top squads in its league in the Peterborough Minor Midget Petes at the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre and, after falling behind early, the Red Devils put together an inspired third period to force a 2 - 2 tie. “I think we played well considering we had a short bench,” said coach Chris Lon-

go. “The guys had a lot of energy and a lot of jump. Peterborough is a good team but our guys played strong and played a simple game; they played hard.” Quinte was quick out of the gate against the Petes, throwing big hits, taking hard shots and playing aggressively on the forecheck. Quinte had a definite edge in terms of shots and time of possession through the opening 10 minutes, but eventually they would start to break down a bit defensively with so many players playing so far forward, culminating with a Petes

forward being hauled down on his way to the net on a partial breakaway. He was awarded a penalty shot, but Quinte goaltender Brad Dobson was equal to the task, stonewalling the Petes’ shooter from in close to maintain the tie. The Red Devils’ frenetic start seemed to catch up with them as the period drew to a close however, and they spent the final two minutes hemmed in their own zone, eventually giving up a one-timer goal with just 15 seconds left in the frame to give the Petes a 1 - 0 lead headed into the second

period. Neither team surrendered a powerplay in the first period, however that would quickly change in the second. Both teams began taking a number of undisciplined penalties throughout the frame, but it was Quinte who would take one too many. A broken play inside the Red Devils’ zone allowed a Petes’ forward to jump on a loose puck in front of the net and jam it past the goalie for a 2 - 0 lead, and things were looking grim for Quinte heading into the third. “(When they’re down) they have to focus on the fact that they need to play three periods to win a game,” Longo said. “When you’re down, you have to dig a bit deeper and fight through some adversity, and our guys did that tonight.” Quinte would find the scoreboard just a minute into the third period when Austin Labelle scored on an unassisted breakaway,

and he wasn’t done there. Eight minutes later, Labelle was back on the score sheet, making a hard drive around the back of the net and scoring on the wraparound to tie the game at 2 - 2. Each team would have a chance to win the game with late powerplays, but each goaltender made some key saves in the closing minutes to maintain the tie. “I think for the most part they sustained the speed and pressure. They had a few lapses, but that’s expected in a three period game,” said Longo.

Winter storm doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t freeze out the annual Polar Bear Plunge in Campbellford

Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Campbellford â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A winter storm that brought high winds and blowing snow failed to freeze out the dippers at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Polar Bear Plunge as 22 brave souls jumped into the icy waters of the Trent River. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ďŹ rst thing I thought the ďŹ rst time I did this was I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t breathe for the ďŹ rst couple of seconds. And as I came out of the water, I just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t breathe and then after two seconds it was like being reborn,â&#x20AC;? said Maurice Goulet, of the Chilly Willies. Last year he and John Russell, executive director of the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation decided to take the plunge for the ďŹ rst time. Goulet, who is the manager of the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s laboratory delighted the crowd again when he did the Penguin walk to the waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edge before standing to face everyone and doing a freefall backwards into the Trent River.

Photos: Sue Dickens Tania Charanduk, of the Victorian Order of Nurses (VON), quite literally took the plunge at the fundraiser in Campbellford.

Doing a freefall backwards into the icy waters of the Trent River, Maurice Goulet, the lone Penguin in the team Chillie Willies, took the plunge for a good cause while ice water rescuers from Trent Hills stood by just in case their lifesaving expertise was needed.

Ice water rescuers were in the water just in case their expertise was needed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;John is stuck in Cobourg today,â&#x20AC;? Goulet said. The storm waylaid several of the plungers. It was so bad that multi-vehicle pileups resulted in closure of the Highway 401 near

Port Hope, Cobourg and Brighton for two days in a row. In spite of the loss of some of the dippers, the number remained consistent with previous years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many things that are really out of your control, like the weather,â&#x20AC;? said Sharon Apted, before the event, worried that

the fundraiser wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be successful. This was her ďŹ rst year as organizer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Five I had signed up couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it because of weather but others showed up and said I am going to jump,â&#x20AC;? she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In fact we ended up with more than in some of the previous years.â&#x20AC;? Please see â&#x20AC;&#x153;winter stormâ&#x20AC;? on page B3

The second youngest member of the Grand Ole Opry after Carrie Underwood, Turner has sold over five million albums and his hit Time of Love, from his most recent CD Punching Bag, was the top-selling single in all of country music in 2012. He is joining a stellar lineup during the four-day silver anniversary edition of the famous country music camping extravaganza with the likes of Alan Jackson, Dierks Bentley, Suzy Bogguss and The Mavericks already announced and Canadian stars Michelle Wright, Doc Walker, Ambush, Charlie Major, The Good Brothers, fast-rising

says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a lot of fun. The songs are a collection of my observations about life and the people around me and how weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all just stumbling through it. At times there is laughter and joy; at other times, pain and disappointment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overall, I hope this record is inspiring and relatable to my fans,â&#x20AC;? she adds. Her fans will certainly be in Havelock when she steps on stage August 15, a day that will also include rockinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shows by Alan Jackson, Ambush and The Mavericks. Early Bird tickets for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jamboree are on sale until June 1 which includes weekend passes, preferred seating and camping packages.

Making a fast exit are some of the Peterborough roller derby team. Quick on their feet they demonstrated their agility as they climbed out of the icy Trent River after taking the leap for the annual Polar Bear Plunge. The “Jamazons” included Brandy Wannamaker, Sherri Owen, Hilary Law, Jennifer Taylor, Marnie Guindon (Campbellford), Julie Caron and Jackie Turk. Hastings’ own Tanya McColl-Smith who was planning on participating suffered an injury earlier in the week and couldn’t participate.

The Ice Rangers teamed up to raise money for the hospital in the annual Polar Bear Plunge adding some good old fashioned western know-how to make the event a success. Keeping their cool are: Earl McLean, Jim McLean, Charmaine McLean, Kelly Redden and Morgan Kerber.

Sharon Apted, from left, took on the role of organizer for the first time at this year’s annual Polar Bear Plunge held in Campbellford by the Campbellford Hospital Auxiliary. Ice water rescuers Peter McMillan and Bryan Lemoire (Deputy Station Commander) of the Trent Hills Fire Department were on site with other firefighters to make sure everyone remained safe.

Money raised at the Polar Bear Plunge goes towards the purchase of a central monitoring station upgrade and portable vital signs monitor. Total cost is about $58,000. “We’re hoping we get enough today to put us over the top so we can give the hospital that piece of equipment,” Apted said. The plunge was over in eight minutes as the dippers took their turns jumping in and racing back to the buses set up as warming stations. A crowd of supporters dressed for the cold, cheered on the plungers. No tally was available at press time. “Unless they ﬁre me I will probably do it again next year,” Apted said with a big grin.

Art of Dying rocker shares thoughts with students before joining Ship Rocked cruise By Bill Freeman

Entertainment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Norwood â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s have guitar will travel in the best of ways for Cale Gontier of the powerhouse Canadian rock band Art of Dying. The local musician was off to Nashville for a week to hang with the band before jumping on board the 965 foot-long luxury Norwegian Pearl for the unique ocean-going Ship Rocked tour where Art of Dying and a posse of bands including Three Days Grace, Papa Roach, Five Finger Death Punch, Living Color and Seven Dust will perform on one of the shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ ve stages during a cruise from Miami to a private beach at Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas.

The beat-the-blizzards-ice-and-wind chill tour wraps with a concert on that beach at Great Stirrup Cay. But ďŹ rst the personable singer-guitarist dropped into the Norwood District High guitar class and jammed and talked with students. Art of Dying has a strong following in American, where it spends a lot of time touring and Gontier, a former bass guitarist with Thornley, says fans can look forward to a new recording sometime this summer. Gontier ďŹ rst met the band during Canadian Music Week in Toronto where â&#x20AC;&#x153;they crashed at my place.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just really hit it off and became really good friends,â&#x20AC;? he said. They were in the process of making some changes and Gontier, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been with Thornley for ďŹ ve years and was a guitar tech for Three Days Grace, joined on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It took off from there (and we) started touring.â&#x20AC;? The American tours have been fruitful and Music Junkie Press is picking Art of Dying as one of 14 bands to watch in 2014 slotting them at number nine. Gontier says thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a push to expand their reach overseas along with their growing American appeal. He admits that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;dragâ&#x20AC;? that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play more often in their home country but the reality of the scale of the American market makes it easier for bands to tour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are ten times more people and ten times as many places to play,â&#x20AC;? Gontier said. Asked if there were things that topped being on stage and rocking out in front of fans Gontier said being on the road with his friends and touring across the continent doing something

he loves is about the best thing anyone could ask for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest rush of the whole thing is playing in front of a ton of screaming people.â&#x20AC;? That energy is hard to ďŹ nd anywhere else, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long road to get here. I think we really worked because the ďŹ ve of us are such good friends. We are a family.â&#x20AC;? Gontier was a pretty good hockey player growing up in the Peterborough area but â&#x20AC;&#x153;music was always (his) ďŹ rst choice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think music was always where I was meant to go. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been lucky to have some success. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great road to go down, a great way to make a living. My best advice would be to just work hard at it; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like anything you have to put in the hours to get good at it.â&#x20AC;? He encouraged students interested in a career to continue studying music after high school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Work hard at it and try to spend time singing and playing acoustic guitar at home. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in getting a band together do that but keep going to school.â&#x20AC;? Please see â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ship Rockedâ&#x20AC;? on page B5

LIFE

Sheila Wray Gregoire Lifestyles - Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the wrong one to write a column with that title, because I was the kid who hyperventilated whenever we played soccer in gym class. I hated team sports; other people would be looking at me and relying on me. So when I see parents in my social

Are kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sports teams worth it? circle spending most weekends on the road to sports tournaments, and forking over huge amounts of cash in the process, I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m watching a foreign movie without subtitles. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compute. Once upon a time, of course, sports were easy. In the 1950s, my father-in-law and his friends would lace up their skates on a pond and play hockey all day. Soccer was just kicking a ball around in the local ďŹ eld. But now everything is so regimented and expensive and complicated. And instead of being just a fun, informal thing, it becomes a Very Big Deal. Certainly hockey is the Canadian birthright, and one shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t question it, but have you ever done the math? If you have your child in a hockey league, it can easily cost $3000 a year per child. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the hockey equipment

and the team fees, which can often be $1000. But the real kicker comes with all the travel. Driving to games, paying for hotels, paying for food and grabbing a drink while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out really adds up. Even a relatively cheap sport, like soccer, can run into several thousand if the kids have to go out of town for games. Then, to add to the indignity, the clubs spend their lives fundraising, and as a parent youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stuck selling 100 chocolate almond bars or bags of Florida oranges to everyone you work with. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just the cost. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the time. I see families with two or more kids on different teams, and almost every weekend theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re heading out somewhere, often separately. Practices and games eat up multiple nights a week. When do you have dinner as a family? When do you do homework? When do you just relax?

I was at a friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ ftieth birthday recently where a bunch of grandmas sat around the table comparing stories. One shared about her daughter and son-in-lawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule with three boys in hockey. She was ďŹ&#x201A;abbergasted at how much money they were spending (theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just racking up debt, she said), and how their lives were so chaotic. I asked her, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When do the parents get any time together alone?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;? she chuckled ruefully. Then last weekend the skies opened up and dumped so much snow on us that I can hardly see over our snowbanks. The police warned motorists to stay off the roads. There were over 1,700 collisions in Ontario on Saturday alone. And yet I know of several local sports teams where parents drove their kids to out-of-town tournaments and all the kids showed up. Facebook was littered with, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a really stressful

The Good Earth:

The Good Earth: Odds and Sods # 1 Lifestyles - Hello, Gentle Reader. This is the ďŹ rst Odds and Sods column of the year. You might think that the dog days of winter would provide a bit of relaxation and time for contemplation resulting in a spectacularly brilliant column. Just not so. I fear this may be more of a social column than a gardening one. I remember reading the local paper, The Kemptville Advance, as a younger person and noting little items like: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Miss Betty Anne Jackson and Miss Ann McCreary motored to Ottawa this Sunday past to visit with Miss Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aunt Helen.â&#x20AC;? Between that column and the telephone party-line system (we were two long, one short) it was rare to ďŹ nd an uninformed rural chatelaine! O&S No 1 Fund-raising concerts This past weekend, I was privileged to participate in a fund-raising concert for an orphanage in Haiti. Our group, The Lenses, and a very, very good Brighton duo, RandR, provided the musical entertainment. The hall was full and the raised funds were satisfyingly impressive. Thanks go to everyone from Brighton and community for your support. Organiser Sharon Graham and company will deliver every penny personally to the orphanage. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take a moment to remind you all of the Dave Gunning concert on February 9 in Trenton, in aid of childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mental health. There are still some seats

available so please send me an email if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested. dan.clost@gmail.com Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll wait while you check him out on the Internet.... O&S No2 Winter mulch I would be surprised if you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already checked out the state of the trees on your estate, GR. At our workplace, we had dubbed 2013 as the Year of the Big Wind but 2014 has already put forward its challenge. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some ice storms and a few moderate snowfalls. Perhaps between the time of writing this column and the time you are reading it, there might be a signiďŹ cant accumulation of snow. This is a very good time to stroll the grounds and look for places where the snow has not piled up. Is that windswept barren part of your perennial border, the site of your rhodo collection or the entire underneath of your cedar hedge? If so, you have some work to do. The three items mentioned are those most susceptible to damage in the latter stages of winter and ďŹ rst capricious days of spring. Shallow roots will be stretched and stressed signiďŹ cantly during the freeze/thaw cycles of those days. This is the time to apply some winter mulch. If you can ďŹ nd some conifer branches, perhaps through pruning or maybe you still have your Christmas tree propped up in a snow drift, lay them over the bare spot and cover with snow. They will provide enough shade to keep the ground frozen until the danger is past.

drive, but we made it!â&#x20AC;? Really? Parents risked their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives in the worst weather weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had all year, with highway closures and whiteouts, just for a game? And the organizers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cancel? I can understand heading out if your job depended on it, or if it was a major life event. But perhaps weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking this too seriously. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only explanation I have. I know parents who do a great job with sports, and they love it, and the kids are thriving. It certainly can be done. But when I look at the ďŹ nancial outlay, and the time commitment, and the fact that you have so little time at home, I just ďŹ nd it hard to think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth the cost. Maybe I should relinquish my Canadian citizenship for even daring to suggest it, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it. Am I the only one?

Leaves and straw will work equally Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a note from the Tweed and well and then be available for working District Horticultural Society. They have into the soil later on. (The caveat here a bus heading to the Canada Blooms is that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dig them in around and National Home Show, schedule cedars or rhodos lest you cause even for the opening day, Friday, March 13. greater root damage.) If none of these Prepaying (by February 12) gives you a are available you might collect up the $58 seat; idly thinking about it until that broken deciduous branches cluttering date is passed will cost you $65.

EMC Events - A midweek thaw took what little snow was on the ground, resulting in the postponement of all dog-related events at the 35th annual celebration of SnoFest, held February 1 to 3 in Marmora. Spirits undaunted, organizers proceeded with other events, beginning on the evening of February 1 with the fourth annual Marmoraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Got Talent, which has become very popular both with performers and spectators. Immediately prior to the start of the show, which was, as in the

B8 EMC Marmora Snofest - Thursday, January 30, 2014

past, emceed by Bruce Cook, past Chair of SnoFest, Richard Lowery, introduced Zaid Mohammed who last autumn took over that position. Mohammed spoke of recent weather related challenges resulting in changes to the plans, going on to refer to Mother Nature as being other than generous. Guest speaker Jon McConnell, whose involvement with SnoFest began in 1981, recalled past events, such as the male beauty pageant, with participation by Goat Hill Gertie (Wally Sawkins). He spoke of the 150mile race which involved hours

of participation by 1986 who clearly enjoyed himself and expressed an interest in returning to Marmora. McConnell commented on the role of the many volunteers from Marmora and surrounding communities, who, every year, give so generously of their time and expertise to ensure the success of this annual winter celebration. Once the ribbon was cut by Reeve Terry Clemens, signifying the official opening of SnoFest, it was time for the talent show to begin. Continued on page B9

Continued from page B8

Mohammed introduced the panel of three judges: musicians David Maracle and Morley Ellis, and Sue Heath, all of whom had tough choices to make when determining the first-, second- and thirdplace winners for two groups of contestants: those 12 and under, and those over the age of 13, some who had travelled from other towns to participate. The talent was clearly evident, with some singing a capella, others accompanying themselves on guitar, some singing along to CDs, some presenting their own compositions and one group of three sisters playing violins. When the judging was complete, Macie Levere, the deJong sisters and Kayla Carmen placed first, second and third in the first category, while Mathew Rivera, Travis Whiteman and Stompin’ John Finlan took the same honours in the 13 and over category. With no dog-related activities taking place, focus centred on the many other events which included a banquet and dance, a show and sale of handcrafts; the well attended Who’s Growing Locally which featured a wide range of products; a silent auction; breakfasts on both days of the celebration; a luncheon; a display relating to the history of SnoFest; an ice water rescue demonstration put on by members of the local fire department; a chainsaw carving demonstration; and a skating show. Even with the absence of the dogs and races, there was still plenty to fill a chilly winter weekend.

A group of spectators gathered on the shore of the Crowe River near the tennis courts on February 2 to watch as members of the Marmora and Lake Fire Department demonstrated their ice water rescue techniques, using lunge lines to pull “victims” from the frigid water. The department’s rapid deployment craft was also brought into use during the multi-stage exercise. Photo: Judy Backus

The town hall was filled on both days of the SnoFest weekend with exhibitors whose displays featured a wide variety of locally produced products from honey and garlic, to jams, meat, baked goods, cozy alpaca knits and more. Two of the exhibitors, Elsie and Al Lafreniere of the Green Donkey Tea Room at The Black River Farm in Tweed, were on hand with a wide variety of homemade jams and jellies. Their business is to be the focus of an article in the May issue of Canadian Living. Photo: Judy Backus

OPEN YEAR ROUND EMC Marmora Snofest - Thursday, January 30, 2014 B11

A few challenges, a whole lot of fun at 2012’s SnoFest The Sno Fest Association faced many weather related arrived from points across Ontario challenges in 2012, but with a few changes in the sched- and Quebec, and again, Jamaican ule, forged ahead with the 34th annual event. Teams musher Damion Robb was on the scene, as was one participant from Minnesota. Sprints and races, which ranged from two miles to 25, along with the very popular Little Nippers’ run, were the focus of the weekend-long winter celebration. In addition to the many races, there were a number of festival related activities such as a chainsaw carving demonstration, a snowy baseball tournament, an environmental display, a talent show, a curling bonspiel, a display and sale of arts and crafts and the list goes on. There was no excuse for boredom, as there was something going on no matter where one turned. If hunger struck, there were breakfasts and lunches at various locations as well as at the Sno Fest banquet which was followed by the ﬁrst ever Sno Fest dance held at the Community Centre on February 4. Although a few cancellations, including two weight pulls and a malamute sledding race and demonstration, had to be made, the program was a full one. At the end of the weekend, following the ﬁnal sprint and the Little Nippers’ race, many gathered in the Community Centre for the closing ceremony and the presentation of awards. The walls were decorated with pictures created by local school children who added written Three-year-old Charlee Coxwas one of 15 young mushers thoughts of Sno Fest at the bottom between the ages of three and 12, to enter the popular Little of their drawings. One said, “I love Nippers’ race in 2012. She and her dog, Prince, streaked toward sled dog races. I will race and I will the finish line, with Charlee capably applying the brakes at just win!” Another added a riddle: “What drives a person but is not a car? It’s the right time. Photo: Judy Backus

the sled dog races!” Costumed mascots, Snowflake and Little Nipper, were on the scene as well, sitting quietly while prizes were distributed. One by one the winners headed to the front to collect trophies, cheques, and treats for both mushers and dogs. Rene Marchildon from South River, was first in the 25-mile run; Damion Robb, a member of the Jamaica team, took home the trophy for the six-mile sprint; Ken Davis, of Minnesota, won the four-mile sprint; and Charlee Cox was the Little Nipper who crossed the finish line in the least amount of time. Winner of the two-mile novice run was Taylor London of Stirling. Each year, a dog sled, crafted by Dave Moore of Perth, is raffled off, with each of the Little Nippers having a chance to win. This year, Rebecca Young, six, was the winner of a very handsome sled which she promptly climbed aboard to assume a musher’s stance. Race Marshal Shane Cox, who had both raced in and organized the

runs, was voted the most sportsmanlike by his fellow mushers. After receiving his trophy, Cox commented that it was nice to

be recognized, adding of the festival, that in spite of the conditions, there had been a good turnout and everyone had fun.
