OPINION
The crowd and the law In Romania, after five straight nights of mass demonstration in Bucharest’s main square, the government agreed to withdraw an emergency decree that decriminalised various abuses of political power (on the grounds that the jails Gwynne Dyer were too crowded). If you defrauded the state of less than $47,500, under the new rules, you might have to pay it back, but you wouldn’t go to jail. More to the point, those already serving sentences or facing charges for stealing, say, $47, 499 would be released from jail or see the charges dismissed – including the leader of the governing Social Democratic Party, Liviu Dragnea, who was convicted of stealing only $27,000. (That’s not necessarily how much he stole; just how much they could PROVE he stole.) Romania used to be one of the most corrupt countries in Europe, but since it joined the European Union in 2007 it has been under great pressure from Brussels to clean up its act. There was also huge domestic pressure from ordinary Romanians who are sick of their venal politicians, and the anti-corruption drive was making real progress. Then last Tuesday Prime Minister Sorin Grindeanu’s government issued its decree freeing hundreds of jailed politicians, officials and even judges. It was due to go into effect next Friday, but right away the crowd came pouring out into the streets in Bucharest and all the other big cities. After five nights of mass demonstrations, the government cancelled its decree on Saturday. The Crowd won, and both justice and democracy were well served. The other very dodgy decree of recent days was in Washington, where President Trump signed an “executive order” imposing a 90-day ban on citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries seeking to enter the United States (even if they were legal US residents or had been issued visas after vetting by US embassies) and an indefinite ban on Syrian refugees. Like the Romanian decree, its legality was doubtful. As in Romania, the protesting crowds came out in large numbers in the United States (though proportionally in much smaller numbers, and certainly not for five successive nights). But what really brought Trump’s plan grinding to a halt, at least for the moment, was a judge. U.S. District Senior Judge James Robarts of Seattle issued an order suspending the Trump ban – and even President Trump obeyed it (although he did refer to Robarts, with typical

graciousness, as a “so-called judge”). The whole machinery of government went into reverse, entry visas are being re-validated, and even Syrian immigrants are being admitted to the United States again. The rule of law has prevailed. Two crises in two democratic countries, and two reasonably satisfactory resolutions. It was the Crowd that did the heavy lifting in Romania, and the Law that did the crucial work in the United States. But they should not be seen as alternatives; sometimes you need them both. Robarts was not required to make a full legal case for his action at this stage in the proceedings: he simply ordered the ban suspended to avoid serious harm being done to individuals by an executive order that may contravene the First Amendment to the US Constitution. When the case goes to the appeals court, and possibly then to the Supreme Court, the argument of those opposing the ban will doubtless be that it flouts the First Amendment requirement that one religious denomination cannot be officially preferred over another. This may persuade the Ninth Circuit Appeals Court in San Francisco, which is relatively liberal, and even to the Supreme Court, which will continue to be split evenly between liberals and conservatives until Trump’s nominee for the ninth seat on the Court is approved by Congress. Or it may not. Even if the appeal courts ultimately rejects Robarts’ argument and re-imposes the ban, the Law will have successfully curbed the abuse of executive power. It always has to be curbed, because even with the best of intentions those who hold power will inevitably try to expand it – and sometimes they do not have the best of intentions. The US Constitution has won the first round of the battle against Trump’s authoritarian tendencies. Full marks to James Robarts (who was nominated, by the way, by George W. Bush’s Republican administration). But four years is a long time, and there will be occasions when lawyers won’t be enough. The Crowd will be needed as well: demonstrations as large, as disciplined and as patient as those in Romania. And as suspicious of being betrayed once they have gone home. The night after the Romanian government cancelled its “emergency decree”, there was the biggest demonstration of all: half a million people in Victory Square in Bucharest. Why? Because the government had muttered something about addressing the same “issue” of allegedly crowded jails through normal legislation in parliament, which would still really be about getting crooked politicians out of jail. So they won’t go home until Prime Minister Grindeanu promises not to bring the subject up again.

Editorial by Chris Malette Tonight, around the supper table, if indeed you still gather at one, ask the person next to you a simple question. “Say, what’s your take on electoral reform? Oh, and pass the salt.” Since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced last week the government has abandoned its process of investigating a new way of electing federal governments – after promising the last election was “the last election” where the government would be formed by the so-called first-past-the-post method – the news has been met with howls of outrage and, mostly, yawns from the majority of us. MP Mike Bossio termed the process to possibly change the electoral system thusly: “A significant attempt by parliamentarians of all political stripes was made to form a consensus.” According to Bossio and Trudeau, despite the arduous work, “the bottom line is that even after an enormous amount of consultation across the country, there is no consensus on which different electoral system to adopt. For a change of this magnitude, there needs to be much clearer support. If the Liberals, as the majority government, tried to ram through a change of this magnitude with so many competing voices, there would be as much and probably more concern from Canadians,” said Bossio a day after the decision was announced by the PMO. Still more from Bossio and the PMO: “We face a suicide crisis among Indigenous peoples that needs our urgent attention; a climate crisis that needs solving so that future generations do not pay the price for our inaction; and, our rural communities need the tools and support necessary to grow and thrive in an increasingly competitive global economy. On these issues and more, I remain committed to working hard for constituents.” The suggestion is, this is a monumental undertaking that may take away resources and MPs’ attention from important files like suicide rates on First Nations territories and creating jobs. There’s no word on how that might happen, considering there are departments under the federal government to deal, specifically, with each of these issues. When Bossio posted his statement on Facebook, his words were greeted with a mix of understanding from self-admitted, longtime supporters, but also stinging rebukes like that of one “James Kurz” who wrote: “Great that you support PR, Mr. Bossio, but the excuses of the Liberal Party are nonsense. People don’t agree precisely on the system that should replace our broken system. OK, let’s leave it as it is.” That is a ridiculous

argument. …Clearly, most Canadians don’t have the time or the interest to think deeply about this topic, but I’m certain if you asked, ‘Should a party that receives 25% of the votes receive 25% of the seats in the House?’ you would get a unanimous YES as an answer…” In Northumberland, failed NDP candidate Russ Christianson and Liberal MP Kim Rudd sparred over the true depiction of the reversal. Rudd acknowledged in a statement that she has sensed the “disappointment” of constituents wanting to see a major electoral change, but she said “the majority” of those she spoke to or had contacted her office “were very unclear in their understanding and outright apprehensive about what proportional representation (PR), for example, would mean to them as voters.” It’s “a lack of understanding of even the basic mechanics of new voting systems like PR that are at issue,” she said, which is why “there needs to be both greater public engagement and certainly education” on the issue of electoral reform. The NDP has long advocated proportional representation as a better way of choosing a government, with seats in Parliament being aligned with the popular vote that parties receive. Christianson said in an interview that NDP and Green Party supporters were encouraged to vote Liberal in order to oust Stephen Harper and the Conservatives. And there, perhaps, is where we’re hearing most of the howls of outrage originate – the committee rooms of the New Democrats and Greens, who stood to gain the most from proportional representation and stand to suffer many of the electoral defeats of the past in keeping the status quo. The method of choosing our governments hasn’t changed much outside of new ridings and some tweaking of election laws for debates and such. But, to completely overhaul the system to change from the first-past-the-post process is going to indeed by a major upheaval and one that will require more than a referendum or cluster of hearings before handing off to the wonks at Elections Canada to make the policy changes. Ask the people next to you at the dinner table or the coffee shop – when was the last time electoral reform came up in their conversation? Exactly. It doesn’t. Hey, at least we don’t have an “electoral college” that put that orange fellow in office south of here.

French immersion being offered at two more schools BY SUE DICKENS
Madoc - "We know that learning French is really a great skill. A lot of language skills and thinking skills, when you learn a new language, are transferable to lifelong learning," said Cathy Portt, superintendent of education, curriculum services, with the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board (HPEDSB). An information night about French Immersion (FI) planned for Tues. Feb. 7 at Madoc Public School is the last of several for parents to learn more about the program being offered at two more schools, Madoc Public School and Prince Charles Public School (Trenton). "Currently French Immersion is at Harry J.
Clarke Public School and Bayside Public School in Belleville and two years ago we expanded it to Picton," Portt said. "In north Hastings we don't have French Immersion but we do have extended French starting in Grade 5 at York River Public School in Bancroft." There is a French immersion program currently running at Bayside Secondary School in Belleville. The offer of providing the program at two more elementary schools is in response to feedback from surveys. "One of the things we heard back from our communities, where we don't have a French Immersion program, is they are interested in having those kinds of opportunities for their
children to participate in," said Portt. For the past three years the board has surveyed families to see if there was interest in expanding French Immersion. In 2013 and 2015 families, through public meetings (2013) and a districtwide survey (2015), had asked for FI to be expanded to more regions in HPEDSB. That feedback led to specific FI surveys being done in 2013, 2014 and 2015. According to the school board the interest is now at a level that can support the program at the two additional schools. Once started, the board has to commit to keeping the program at the school as the students move through Grades 4 to Grade 8. It is
not something that can be started one year then cancelled. "We have a sense there is interest. We are optimist there will be registration for the program but if not we won't have the program," said Portt. "Registration for the newly offered French Immersion program is needed by late February, because we need to plan for that in our staffing process," she added. A teacher for 34 years and superintendent of education for the past four, Portt said, "I am very excited about the changes in education and the kinds of programs we are offering our students. The skills our students are learning will prepare them to be global citizens and French Immersion is one of those program areas."
Cathy Portt, superintendent of education, curriculum services, with the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board (HPEDSB), said the newly offered French Immersion program will be dependent on registration numbers. Photo submitted
Thefts of sand and salt cause problems in Stirling BY TERRY MCNAMEE
Stirling-It's a case of "no more Mr. Nice Guy" at the Public Works Yards in Stirling and Springbrook. On Monday, Feb. 6, Stirling-Rawdon Coun-
cil approved a motion arising from the Finance and Personnel Committee meeting of Jan. 24 to install "Employees Only" signage at both locations as well as gates at the Stirling salt shed
and sand dome. The problem, said Mayor Rodney Cooney, is that members of the public have been stealing large quantities of sand and salt to use on their own driveways. "We've got the public
taking advantage," he said, noting that some people have been coming in with trucks to cart away sand and salt. He said there is also an issue of safety for employees and the public, as well as potential liability, since people have been pull-

The motion calls for an accessible sand pile to be placed at a safe location at both sites to enable people to come and get a pail of sand for their own use. However, the mayor warned, if that privilege is abused, that, too, will be stopped. Council also noted that the Protection to
Persons and Property Committee and Finance and Personnel Committee meetings scheduled for Feb. 28 have been cancelled because of the Ontario Good Roads Conference. A special meeting of the Finance and Personnel Committee has been scheduled for 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 21, for a review of departmental budgets.

Community Care Norwood looking for drivers BY BILL FREEMAN
Grafton based artist Anja Hertle was in Hastings to lead a mosaic art workshop. Bill Freeman/Metroland
BY BILL FREEMAN
Hastings - There really is treasure to be found in forgotten and discarded objects. Artist Anja Hertle knows this and her bright and arresting mosaic art tells the story of lost things reclaimed, polished and given new life. The German-born Grafton-based artist was in Hastings to lead a Community Care wellness program workshop at the Civic Centre and she enthused about the ability to find new uses for a multiplicity of objects. "I love the fact that I can use recycled materials and things that aren't thrown in the garbage," she said. "They have a new life and I love the colour and pattern and texture and working with that." Those recycled objects can be everything from china, pottery and stained glass to beads, bottle caps, forks and typewriter keys. The sky really is the limit.
"Everywhere I go I'm always looking for treasures that can be incorporated into art work," she says. Hertle, a Ryerson University interior design graduate who spent 17 years in Calgary before moving to Grafton 7 ½ years ago with her family, calls mosaic art a "low tech" adventure that novice artists can learn and appreciate. "You don't need specialized tools and you can have a lot of fun with it." Hertle usually teaches out of her Grafton studio, but travels to give workshops for all ages and has often been invited to schools as a visiting artist. She exhibits at a range of festivals and shows and has done several commissioned pieces including an impressive installation at the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute.

In the Mood for Community Care BY BILL FREEMAN
Norwood – Community Care Norwood got a jazzy, classy boost with their "In the Mood" fundraiser Saturday night (Feb. 4). The dinner gala featuring Toronto singer Julie McGregor and the Kenzie Jazz Band was a first for the volunteer organization and was hailed a success by organizers who say they'd like to do something similar next year. It was a "big step," Norwood program support staffer Kelly Small admitted. "It's a bit of a scary undertaking introducing a new fundraising format in a small community; you never know how it's going to go over. We've been very lucky, people seem to have embraced it," Small said." I hope tonight is going to create the buzz we need in the community and hopefully that will help us boost sales for next year." The fundraiser, organizers noted, was designed to give people a chance to dress up and chase away some of the February blahs with a pre-Valentine's night out.
The silent auction table included $2,000 worth of locally donated items, a fact that impressed Peterborough Community Care board member Jim Patterson. "For a small organization and small community they've pulled off an amazing thing," said Patterson. Community Care Norwood has 44 volunteers who delivered 4,100 hours of service this past year. Across the county over 900 volunteers donate time to Community Care. "We couldn't do the work if we didn't have the volunteer time, plain and simple," Patterson said. Keeping volunteers and attracting new people is "job one," he added. Events like "In the Mood" raise the organization's profile, Patterson said. "There are probably people who should be using our services who don't for a variety of reasons. That's a failure. That's a failure of the system, it's our failure if they should get services and they're not."

Norwood – Winning the Norwood Agricultural Society's prestigious Agricultural Service Award was the furthest thing from Mary English's mind. The longtime School Fair Division volunteer
and former president's involvement in the society is not about accolades or accumulating pats on the back but about investing time in a community she loves and celebrates.

George Canyon, Mark Chesnutt lead another wave of Jamboree signings BY BILL FREEMAN
Havelock – Canadian country star George Canyon and chart-topping American singer Mark Chesnutt have been added to the Havelock Country Jamboree's musical roster. The two entertainers along with Montreal native Patricia Conroy, high energy Canadian trio Ambush, rising American stars Blackjack Billy, always-suave Russell DeCarle, Peterborough's Missy Knott, Saskatoon's Zachary Lucky and Ontario newcomer Marshall Dane will be on stage during the twenty-eighth annual Jamboree, Canada's largest outdoor country music and camping festival. They will join American superstar Lee Brice, Aaron Pritchett, Justin Moore, Jana Kramer, Confederate Railroad, Meghan Patrick, the Good Brothers, the Western Swing Authority, the Jordy Jackson Band and Abby Stewart. More performers will be announced in the future. Canyon is a favourite visitor to Havelock and brings with him a pile of familiar songs and a transport full of awards and nominations - seven wins and 34 nominations at the Canadian Country Music Awards alone along with eight East Coast Music Award trophies. Texas native Chesnutt has produced 23 top-20 Billboard Hot Country Hits with 14 shooting to the number 1 spot since releasing his first album in 1990. That debut album Too Cold For Home yielded five straight top ten hits including chart topper "Brother Jukebox." During his career he's had four platinum albums and five gold records Conroy hit the top of the Canadian charts with her song "Somebody's Leavin'" and earned a CCMA rising star award in 1990 and album of the year award in 1993 for Bad Day for

Hastings-Roseneath food bank moving to Trinity United Hastings – The Hastings-Roseneath Ministerial Food Bank is returning to the place where it first started in the 1980s: Trinity United Church. With the closing of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Hastings and its merger with St. Andrew’s in Warkworth, the food bank is on the move again. Four years ago, the volunteer organization shifted operations from its longtime home in a former church “coach house” on Victoria Street around the corner to St. Andrew's. They reopened in their new space in Trinity United's lower hall on Feb. 7. The food bank operates on Tuesdays (1 p.m. until 2:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.). It will still be closed the last week of the month, says president Brenda Kock. The organization moved its Wednesday evening opening to Tuesday because the hall is booked that evening.
• Residential • Commercial • Farm
The food bank serves approximately 40 families. That number, says Kock, has remained "fairly constant" over the past five years. The organization holds a major yard sale fundraiser each summer and receives significant support through seasonal "Cram the Cruiser" events and the Christmas-time "brown bag" sale at Todd's Valu Mart.

Centre Hastings Fire Department MAKE 2017 showcases new truck YOUR HEALTHIEST YEAR Our app gives you a head start on health.
BY SUE DICKENS
Madoc - Showcasing their new pumper tanker truck, the Centre Hastings Fire Department announced its arrival at a special gathering of staff and council at the municipal office in Madoc on Wednesday, Jan. 25. Ordered last year, the $325,000 truck brings with it some newer technology that will help firefighters. "This truck has got what is called a sidekick pump," said the Fire Chief Bob Branscombe. "So you can drive the truck and pump water at the same time." A demonstration of the unit, which is mounted on the front of the truck, followed as using controls inside the truck, a firefighter showed how it tilts and swivels. It is mounted with a light as well. "This technology hasn't been around that long," said the fire chief, who added that there
is "another part back ordered, a control for the pump that you can take out of the truck." The apparatus is piped right into the truck, which holds 1500 gallons of water. "It's designed to work at 100 psi," noted the fire chief, while explaining just how important the new technology is for the department. "Because our municipality has a lot of rural area, this means if it's a major structure fire like a garage or something, we can pull up and without getting out of the truck we can start flowing water on the fire immediately," he explained. "If it's a grass or bush fire, if it happens to be on the side where we can drive we can pull up beside it and start putting the fire out." The fire department has a total of nine vehicles and will be disposing of the 1993 tanker that needed replacing. There are 40 volunteer firefighters with the Centre Hastings Fire Department.

Madoc Township council “Heart and Stroke Month” opposes rural school closure www.gianttiger.com BY SUE DICKENS
Madoc Townhip - Joining the fight to save its rural school, Madoc Township council unanimously approved a letter written by Coun. Carrie Smith questioning the decision by the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board to close Madoc Township Public School and consolidate students to Madoc Public School for Sept. 2017. The letter was sent to the board Chair Lucille Kyle, the trustees and to Education Minister Mitzie Hunter. The closure is one of the options being considered for schools in Centre Hastings which, as the board has stated, "explores opportunities for community partnerships aligned with the 2015-2020 strategic plan priorities." Changes proposed are at schools throughout the board's jurisdiction. "What the Hastings and Prince Edward School Board are proposing to do will remove the heart of our Community," wrote Smith. The three-page letter questioned "the figures that are being used to make this poten-
tially grave decision" and pointed to "the extra travel time for students" to moving them to a school where the playground "is sorely lacking for the students presently enrolled now". It also questioned the timing of the proposal, which will close Madoc Township Public School after the completion of the present school year with the final decision to be made on June 19, 2017. Offering an alternative to the board's plan, Smith stated, "I think that for the sake of the children we should be considering a different move altogether, a move that would finally bring back the Grades 7 and 8 students to the Madoc Township Public School where they belong." Smith also noted. "It was alarming to learn that only two of the 10 trustees that will be voting on the future of our municipality's education were present at the first public meeting." The letter ends with one final question: "Does the school board have an interest in happy healthy children or is the bottom dollar the most important?

"Without the agreement of all five municipalities; Stirling Rawdon, Marmora and Lake, Tweed, Madoc Township and Centre Hastings, we would not be able to apply for the gas tax," explained Gale. "Marmora and Lake have kindly and generously agreed to be the sponsor for the transit so they apply on our behalf for that tax." The annual budget to operate the transit system is $150,000 and that covers insurance, maintenance, gas and drivers. "Our liability insurance has virtually doubled because we're taking on more passengers now," noted Gale.

O'Hara Volunteers Association showcases the Homestead I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect to at annual meeting BY SUE DICKENS
Madoc - Revenue generation, recruitment of volunteers, marketing and asset management are the goals that continue to be the focus of the O'Hara Volunteers Association, which is dedicated to preserving their heritage as showcased at the O'Hara Mill Homestead and Conservation Area. The nonprofit group held its annual general meeting (AGM) on Jan. 26 to look at the past year's accomplishments and discuss future plans. As the year 2017 marks the culmination of the Association's five-year plan, moving forward the group will continue to focus on the growth of membership by encouraging volunteers to come out for demonstrations and daily programs. Dave Little, chair of the asset committee, provided a PowerPoint presentation highlighting assets, donations, restoration accomplishments and more. "I call him Father O'Hara," said Fred Bendell, a volunteer for three years and the organization's vice chair and head of the marketing and revenue committees. Little was instrumental in spearheading a group in 2003 organized to preserve the Homestead. His presentation highlighted annual events such as Heritage Day, the upcoming 1850 sugar bush demonstration, corn boil, and Christmas at O'Hara. Bendell told the Central Hastings News that Canada Day will be celebrated in a big way this year to mark the country's 150th birthday,
and will include a "repatriation ceremony" and plaque unveiling. Something new has been added as well, as the Association introduces its first draft horse farm day to be held Aug. 6. "We will be doing horse drawing demonstrations," said Bendell. "We have some new property which is now accessible for cultivating and planting so we are going to start growing wheat and hay," he added while talking about the camaraderie and hard work of the volunteers. "This is a very welcoming group. We have more than 100 members now, 30 to 40 are active volunteers. People give their time whenever they can," he commented. "There's a pride of ownership here. There's a lot of third and fourth generations in Madoc ... the family element, community element is there. A lot of folks are interested in preserving their heritage." The popularity of the O'Hara Mill Homestead has been growing steadily with the help of social media. Their Facebook page had 945 "likes" in 2016, up from the 623 the previous year. Chair Rod Woods, who was unable to attend the AGM, did speak with the Central Hastings News beforehand. "O'Hara Mill is all about the community and the people in the community. It's theirs to participate in ... whether they pick up a hammer or donate a $20 bill." No elections were held as 2017 marks the second of a three-year term for the executive.

Lou Gramm part of Rock Pack show in Havelock BY BILL FREEMAN
Havelock - There's a whole lot of star power on the way to this year's HaveRock Revival. Organizers have announced that the Rock Pack classic rock extravaganza - featuring arena stage icon Lou Gramm of Foreigner fame; former Journey frontman Steve Augeri; Gregg Ro-
Gregg Rolie, a founding member and original lead singer of Santana, will be part of the Rock Pack show at the second annual HaveRock Revival on July 8. Rolie was also a founding member of Journey.
lie, a founding member of both Santana and Journey; Toto co-founder and original lead singer Bobby Kimball; and former Asia lead singer John Payne - will rock it out on the famous twin stage July 8. More performers are expected to be announced soon. The Rock Pack "hit after hit" concept was put together by Payne in 2014 and has been wellreceived. It's a classic rock show bringing together some of the arena stars of the late 1970s and 1980s, including Gramm, who fronted Foreigner, one of the biggest-selling rock bands of the decade with hits like Feels Like the First Time, Cold As Ice, Long, Long Way From Home and Dirty White Boy. Their debut album stayed in the top 20 for one year. Payne himself joined supergroup Asia in 1992 and was on board for eight albums. Rolie, lead singer and keyboardist for Santana, was with the band at Woodstock when it made its blazing breakthrough. The group, with dazzling Carlos Santana, would go on to pick up nine Grammy Awards. Rolie was also part of the original Journey lineup, playing with the band from 1973-80 and will join them when they're inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April. It will be his second induction, earning the honour in 1998 when Santana was welcomed to the hall. Kimball and Toto won a Grammy for best new artists in 1979 and never looked back, adding six more to their collection including 1983's song of the year Rosana and album of the year, Toto IV, one of the most successful albums of the '80s. Augeri was Journey's fourth lead singer and first official lead vocalist since Steve Perry left the band. He was with the band from 1998-2006. The HaveRock Revival runs July 7-8.

Photos that are “painterly” and others that will have you singing their praises
The work of photographers Laura Berman and Christopher Thorpe are currently on display at the public library in Campbellford. John Campbell/Metroland
BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Campbellford -- Laura Berman "creates landscapes and botanical portraits that are a convergence of photography and painting." "I paint at the pixel level, add layers of textures, then manipulate things," using Photoshop, she said, "to create a more painterly and more emotional response to nature." The camera is "very literal," Berman said. "I really like to go back to the computer and create what I want to see in the way that a painter does." Last year she won the Mayor's Award at a juried group show at the Colborne Art Gallery, best photo (open category) at the Warkworth Lilac Festival, and Special Merit Award (overall) at the Art, Space and Time Gallery. She was also the all-time winner in BetterPhoto's 20th anniversary contest. Christopher Thorpe takes photographs of landscapes as well but his digital enhancement is to actually paint on the pictures he's transferred to canvas, and what he adds to the scenes are crows. They've become his "signature," he said. "I'm just fascinated (by) crows, they're an incredibly intelligent animal." Examples of the two photographers' work are currently on display at the public library in Campbellford, where they will remain un-
til March 28, the latest in a series of shows presented by the Spirit of the Hills Northumberland Hills Arts Association. An opening reception was held Feb. 2. "Spirit of the Hills has been really supportive in providing these kinds of venues," which she would find difficult to arrange on her own, Berman said. "I love it." Thorpe takes multiple photos of a landscape and then stitches them together before adding a crow or two - or several. "They enliven the work," he said. Is their presence meant to be symbolic? "If somebody chooses to (think that) they can," Thorpe said, "but I try carefully not to do that because different ethnic groups look upon crows in different ways." His studio on Greenly Road between Warkworth and Campbellford is "surrounded" by crows and he's taken numerous photos of the birds to use as models in his work. "I've never visited a landscape where there haven't been crows," Thorpe said. "Maybe if I did people's portraits I'd end up slipping a crow into (them) somehow." Berman is "an amazing photographer. I don't look upon myself as a photographer I'm more of a general artist who can't really figure out what medium I want to work in."

Campbellford Colts take 2-0 lead in Midget CC series with Brighton
Same old, same old for Rebels, Stars BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Northumberland – It was more of the same old, same old for the Campbellford Rebels last Saturday: a loss by a wide margin. Doing the thumping in a 9-0 beatdown were the visitors from Port Hope, who just happen to lead the Tod division in the East Conference of the Provincial Junior Hockey League with a record of 33-3-1. That’s 66 more points than what the Rebels have been able to muster in a season that can’t come to an end to soon – this Sunday in Gananoque. In relative terms, Campbellford performed much better against the Panthers than they did in Napanee Jan. 31 when they got hammered 16-1 by the Raiders. The team could be excused for another woeful outing, playing with just 12 skaters, seven fewer than the home side dressed. The Rebels just managed 11 shots; Napanee had 75. Jeremiah Doherty put Campbellford on the scoreboard with a minute The Campbellford Colts took a 2-0 lead in the quarter-final of their best-of-five Midget CC playdowns series with the Brighton left in the game. Brandon Soucy was in Braves, winning 6-0 at home Feb. 3, and 6-3 Feb. 5 on the road. Scoring for Campbellford in Sunday’s win were Zack Nicholson net for two periods, Adam (above), Mac Giles, Joe Crothers, Caleb Outred, Nolan Beamish and Caleb Nicholson. John Campbell/Metroland McCormack the other.

McCormack tended goal the entire game in the loss to Port Hope, facing 52 shots. His mates countered with 10. Campbellford’s last home game is Saturday at 7:30 p.m. against Napanee. Two different kinds of streaks The Northumberland Stars fell 8-3 to the North York Renegades at home Feb. 1. It was the team’s third consecutive loss, coming off a three-game winning streak. The Stars’ Doug Andrews opened up the scoring on a power play in the game’s first six minutes but the visitors reeled off five straight goals before the Colborne club got its second late in the second period, off the stick of Austin Collins. Brody Dyck potted the third, with 21 seconds remaining in the frame. Dyck leads the team with 22 goals in 22 games. Northumberland sits last in the South Division of the Greater Metro Hockey League, with 21 points in 39 contests. Its final game of the season is at home Feb. 15 against the Toronto Attack.

Batawa Ski Racing Club’s U14s, U16s and U19s spread out across ski country for a series of races Sunday, Feb. 5. The Batawa U14 Tigers competed in their third race of the season at Hidden Valley Ski Resort. Finishing her race in first place was Emma SabineCraig, who leads the division in podium finishes. Racers, Lydia Schmoll, Nicolas MacPherson and Isaac Hollinger also logged strong performances,
said coaches. The U16 Batawa Bandits were at Craigleith Ski Club Sunday for what was described as “an extremely fast giant slalom race.” The team fought the hard-packed, steep slope and had good results. For the girls Reena Lui came fifth with a combined time of 58.51; and Annissa Bray was seventh (59.01), Hannah O’Boyle Kelly was 16th and Maggie Chalk was 23rd. Chloe O’Boyle Kelly
had a DNF on the first run, but had a very fast second run. The girls’ team finished third overall against Craigleith, Georgian Peaks, Osler, Jozo and Horseshoe. The boys did well with Jake Hollinger finishing third overall with a combined time of 56.07. Caleb Roy was 13th, Jaxon Starbuck was 17th, Patrick Thompson was 39th and Brad Bonner was 40th. Padraigh Brady and Ian Worgan did not finish. The championship races will be determined from the results of the four previous races and will take place the last weekend of February. The U19 Batawa Ski Racing team consisting of Eric Cholasta, Craig Luery and Kurtis Wright competed in a slalom course at Caledon Ski Club. “Their first run started with 79 eager male racers but after the second run only 45 of these racers had two clean runs to create combined times.” Kurtis Wright was among the racers who challenged the course with success, finishing 14th overall. Cholasta was ninth after his first run, but crashed on his second and could not get a combined time. Up next, the U19 team heads to Mansfield Ski Club for another salom race.
Devils farm team moving to Binghamton, to fill void caused by Belleville BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville hockey fans no longer have to feel guilty about taking another community’s team away. The American Hockey League has announced that the New Jersey Devils farm team will move to Binghamton, N.Y. for the 2017-18 season. Binghamton is currently home to the Ottawa Senators farm team, the Binghamton Senators, but the ‘B-Sens’ are moving to Belleville for the 2017-18 season.
The news of the move to Belleville, announced in September, put the Binghamton Senators ownership group in limbo, up until the Devils move was officially announced on Tuesday, Jan. 31. Binghamton has a long history as a strong AHL community as it has hosted farm teams for the New York Rangers and Hartford Whalers, before beginning a partnership with the Ottawa Senators in 2002. The Devils farm team currently plays in Albany, N.Y.

Seven different Red Devils contributed offensively. Isaac Landon had two goals and an assist. Riley St. Pierre had two goals. Jacob Gilbert and Nick Kirby-Palliser had single goals. Cole McGuire and Connor MacGregor each had two assists. Other assists went to Curtis Dicks, Gilbert and Kirby-Palliser. Sam Dingle earned the win in net.

Both teams showed why they are both bound for the playoffs. It was scoreless after one period The Red Devils outscored the Petes two to one in the second. The Petes scored with a little over three minutes left in the third to tie the game 2-2. It was a very solid effort from Quinte who were missing three players from their line up due to injury. The goals were scored by Garrett Bird and Isaac Langdon. Cole McGuire had two assists. Jaxen Boyer and Ben Roger each had an assist as well. Nick McGowen played well in net. On Deck: The Red Devils next action is also against the Petes on Thursday February 9th at 8:15 at the Quinte Sports and Wellness Center.

County CAO Pine eases out of municipal arena BY JACK EVANS
Belleville - The announcement in recent day of chief administrative officer Jim Pine starting his retirement, albeit on a part-time basis, sees Hastings County losing one of the most qualified and experienced such officers in the province. While he has never run for elected office, he is the architect of what is now known as Quinte West and municipal politics is in his blood as his father, whom he greatly admired, served for many years in his home municipality of Balmertown on the shores of Red Lake in northwestern Ontario. Pine still proudly displays his father’s mayor’s gavel in his memorabilia collection in his spacious firstfloor office in the county building. So when he completed elementary and secondary school in the Red Lake area and had done his “walkabout” in Australia, he headed for Queen ‘s University for a course in public administration, getting both his BA and Master’s degrees in that field. “Those courses have stood me in good stead,” he commented as he went on to review his hugely successful career. His first job was with the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs at its London field office as a “municipal advisor trainee,” another useful program. In fact, Pine spearheaded creating a similar program for Hastings County, hiring students for four-month contracts

to expose them to opportunities in municipal administration. One of the first such students, Mark Peterson, now works full time in the county’s planning department, he noted. Pine then deviated a bit to reflect on the importance of municipal structure. “Municipalities own 70 per cent of all physical assets in Ontario,” he said. From London, he was trans-
ferred to the planning ministry in Queen’s Park, where his duties included briefing cabinet ministers for their weekly meetings on current issues. After about eight years, he accepted the position as CAO for the former Sidney Township for a brief time before moving to the new city of Quinte West as its first CAO. Since he was instrumental in establishing the new city, Pine commented: “I’m really proud
of the work we did there and the way the city has progressed.” He then went back to Queen’s Park for a brief time with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, before being recruited by Hastings County. After some 37 years in his chosen profession, Pine started discussing his future with county council about a year ago, he said, resulting in an amicable agreement to go on a part time basis
for two years. His plans now include working as a consultant. One client already on the go is the province of Nova Scotia, which he is helping expand its broad band Internet network, similar to the one he has been instrumental in pulling together for Hastings County and Eastern Ontario. He sees opportunities to grow this business with other municipalities across Ontario and abroad. But, he’s also looking at lots more golf, his favourite sport, followed closely by pickup hockey ,which he does two days a week and time at his cottage north of Kingston, for outdoors and fishing. The latter is a natural interest from his childhood at Red Lake. Besides extending the Internet throughout the county, he also points with pride to the doctor recruitment program, which has been hugely successful for residents needing a general practitioner. A new physician has recently signed up and will be assigned to Marmora, where one is badly needed, next year, he reported. His bucket list also includes a return trip to Australia to see his son there and other travel. Pine also commented on his key backup staff of Jim Duffin, now the clerk, and Cathy Bradley, now county deputy-clerk. “I have been lucky to have such reliable and capable people to make this possible,” he said.
Lack of public health flu shot clinics concerns Marmora & Lake BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – Hastings Prince Edward Public Health is about to re-evaluate the best way to distribute flu shots – but one of its member municipalities is saying clearly that it doesn’t want special immunization clinics to end. Marmora and Lake CAO Typhany Choinard wrote a scathing letter to Public Health officials in January, criticizing Public
Health’s decision to stop holding flu shot clinics in the small municipality. The decision to stop was impacted by the new role pharmacies play in distributing flu shots, as pharmacists at the Marmora IDA are now capable of handing them out. “Council received your response to our letter regarding the withdrawal of Influenza Clinics
in the Municipality of Marmora and Lake. We continue to be disappointed in the termination of this service from our community,” said Choinard’s letter, which was addressed to immunization program co-ordinator Bill Sherlock, board chair Terry McGulgan and board members Jo-Anne Albert and Bernice Jenkins. “It is our expectation that our community receives the same lev-

el of service as our surrounding neighbours. All of the communities who support the Hastings and Prince Edward Health Unit should have equal access to the programs offered.” “As previously stated, we understand that the public can access the vaccination at the Marmora IDA as well as from local health care providers, however, these services are also available in our neighbouring communities, where influenza clinics were still provided by the Health Unit.” The letter was addressed by Public Health board members at their monthly meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 1. There, resident medical officer of health Piotr Oglaza – the man overseeing Hastings Prince Edward Public Health board meetings until a new Medical Officer of Health is hired for the region – said he expects to meet with Marmora & Lake officials in the coming days to speak about the issue. Board members who represent other Hastings County communities, Albert, of Tweed, and Rick Phillips, of Tyendinaga Township, told Oglaza that Marmora officials have good reason to be concerned, as there’s currently a shortage of family physicians in that community, thus making it more difficult for many Marmora residents to get flu shots. The topic was discussed shortly after Oglaza delivered a pre-
sentation to the board, which addressed the new role pharmacies play in delivering flu shots. Pharmacists became authorized to distribute flu shots in 2012-13. In that time, the number of people in the region who receive shots each year hasn’t changed much, Oglaza said. About 49,000 people received shots in 2012-13 and this year, 2016-17, the number is again around 49,000. However, the number of people obtaining their shots through pharmacies has grown steadily since 2012-13. In 2012-13, 18 pharmacies in the region delivered about 4,300 shots. This year, 29 pharmacies have delivered about 13,000 shots. This upward trend – and the fact that people can also receive shots from family physicians – has led to lower attendance at special flu shot clinics held by the health unit. However, that doesn’t mean those clinics should end, Oglaza said. He said, flu shots could still be given out a “public health fairs” or other events, to ensure that those who don’t easily have access to a family physician or a pharmacy can still get them. “We’re looking at creating that unique solution for our area and to see what else we can add to this to bring more service to the communities,” he said.
Hastings and Prince Edward to star in foodie TV series
Chefs Chuck Hughes, left, and Danny Smiles aboard ATVs to hunt for wild juniper and sumac in an episode filmed in Hastings County. Food Network photo
Hastings and Prince Edward Counties will star in a new Food Network series that begins airing March 3. According to advance publicity for the series “Food Network Canada’s new series, Chuck & Danny’s Road Trip, brings together two best buds – Chuck Hughes and Danny Smiles – on one epic Canadian culinary adventure. In this sixpart series, kicking off Friday,
March 3 at 9 p.m., these two chefs hit the open road in a fully loaded RV visiting Canada’s most spectacular regions with stops at national parks from Vancouver Island to Prince Edward Island.” In what is scheduled for the second show in the series, called Bounty from the Counties, “Chuck and Danny roll into Southern Ontario, where they explore the neighbour-
ing counties of Prince Edward and Hastings (Counties), both known for their delicious ‘earthy delights.’ They visit the cottage of Chef Justin Cournoyer, who takes them into the woods on ATVs to forage for wild juniper and sumac, then sends them off to pick farm fresh local vegetables and do some heavy-lifting of the biggest sides of beef they’ve ever prepared. Back at their riverside campground dinner is an elaborate earthy feast for their foraging and farming friends.” Promotional material also show the duo visiting Prince Edward County’s Norman Hardie Winery. From the Food Network: “At each destination they have a wild time sourcing local ingredients, from bagging seaweed in wet suits to digging for quahogs, harvesting wild rice in a canoe or foraging for juniper on ATVs. Chuck and Danny then take these ingredients and cook up an unforgettable campground feast for the local chefs, farmers and artisans that introduced them to the region’s bounty.”
Albert College preparing to stage The Sound of Music this week BY STEPHEN PETRICK

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
University women reach out to mosque
Other than that… have a nice day! Dear Editor, In 1967 when Canada celebrated its 100th birthday it was a great country. But, since then it seems the only way we’ve progressed is backwards. (It has done so) with: toothless laws, food banks, two languages,
social club churches, more crime, poverty, litigation, welfare, pollution, congestion, less intelligence, less jobs and less integrity. Things are now idiot-proofed, we have to endure expensive fuel, hydro etc. and there is no freedom of speech

…. Since this is only the tip of the iceberg, how can anyone say this is a great country. Everything the veterans fought against we have today. With political correctness we are charged when we speak the truth. But in court we are charged for not speaking the truth. Read “The Trouble with Canada” by William D. Gairdner. The reason Canada has went backwards is because were turned away from God. And since Mr. Trudeau wishes to bury us in debt, all we have to celebrate are the things that used to be.

Mystery concert includes local artists BY JACK EVANS
Winston E. Ralph Bancroft
Belleville - The St. Thomas Church “Mystery Concert” set for Sunday , Feb. 16 at 4:30 p.m., will feature 11 professional singers and musicians from Toronto to Montreal and some local. This unique concert is called “mystery” partly because the specific program is not being announced in advance, and also because one of the works featured will be the medieval anthem: “Magnum Mysterium,” a beautiful but haunting melody. Some of the other numbers by composers like Victoria, Rachmaninoff, Lauridsen and others will be in a similar vein, focusing on the mysteries of worship and belief.

In 2006, our club worked with the local Muslim community in bringing Dr. Monia Mazigh to Belleville for an education event titled “Rights at Risk.” Who could predict that just over 10 years later, we would be talking about not just “Lives at Risk”, but lives taken? This terrible event has highlighted the importance of education for all Canadians to connect with and appreciate our diverse populations, with a goal of solidarity against prejudice and xenophobia. We look forward to working together to reach such a goal. Susan Pine President, CFUW Belleville and District
The ensemble will be a true professional chamber choir plus some organ solos by St. Thomas resident music directors, Francine and Matthieu Latreuille. This is the latest and most ambitious program the Latreuilles have tackled since they started the public “Music at St. Thomas” concerts almost two years ago, they said, because of pulling together so many far-flung musicians. Admission is “pay what you can,” with a reception to follow. This concert has already attracted the attention of the Quinte Society for Chamber Music which sees it as an opportunity to further promote interest in chamber music in the community.

Checking out Bracebridge’s “Fire and Ice Festival”
At the tubing hill in downtown Bracebridge, built for the “Fire and Ice Festival”. John M. Smith/Metroland
Many area communities celebrate the joy of the winter season with a winter festival – and these events encourage us to get out there and enjoy the great outdoors. Since the weather was very cooperative on Saturday January 28, my son, Jeff, and I decided to drive up to Bracebridge to check out its “Fire and Ice Festival”, for it was scheduled to be held only on that one particular day. Besides, a visit to the Muskokas on a nice winter’s day seemed enticing. When we departed on our adventure trek, the roads around here were bare, and there was very little visible snow in the nearby fields; however, as we headed north from Whitby on #12, we soon noticed that there was now a generous amount of snow to be seen, and the landscape became dotted with snowmobiles. We also saw a fox dart across the road and frolic in the snow. Upon arrival in Bracebridge, our first major task was to find a parking place, for the streets and parking lots appeared to be full. After all, this “Fire and Ice Festival”, which made its debut last year, proved to be so popular that it has now become an annual event – and it’s hoped that it may be turned into a weekend-long event in the near future. What makes this particular festival unique is the fact that the town’s main street is closed to traffic for the event, and about 50 truckloads of snow are brought in and dumped right on the street’s steep hill, creating a gigantic tubing hill. It was thought, by some of the event’s organizers, that “if you build a snow tube hill, they will come” – and it worked beautifully! This tubing hill is the festival’s main draw and seems to act as a powerful tourist magnet, for we found a very long lineup of people waiting for their turn on that hill. This was also the festival’s main challenge, for the wait was
very long, and the participants would then have to rejoin the line to patiently await another tube run. Therefore, it would make for quite a long day if a participant wished to make a few runs down this unique tubing hill. However, there was a great place for photographers to stand at the base of the run, so family members and friends could be caught taking their turn on the course – and there were several volunteers at the bottom to assist participants in then getting off the course itself. Many spectators were simply enjoying watching others plummet down the run, and there certainly seemed to be a feeling of exuberance and frivolity in the air. All appeared to be having a great time! From the base of the run, the main street was then filled with vendors, so it was possible to purchase a souvenir or some food as you strolled along this more level section of the street. There were also several outdoor fire pits along this section, so many were simply enjoying warming up by the fire – or roasting marshmallows. A number of activities were set up with
youngsters in mind, including outdoor bowling, ice fishing, igloo building, giant board games, magic shows, children’s crafts, a hockey shootout, and a scavenger hunt. I was first attracted to this particular festival by its name, for it reminded me of the famous Robert Frost poem, “Fire and Ice”, that I had taught on several occasions:

BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – The project that helps Quintearea kids dress their best is back for another year. The Hastings Learning Foundation is running its sixth-annual Prom Project campaign. It encourages the public to donate gently used formal wear to a kiosk at the Quinte Mall. The donations will be distributed to children facing socioeconomic challenges who need outfits for year-end events such as Grade 8 or Grade 12 graduations or prom events. Students have two opportunities to pick up items free of charge. The first Prom Project event takes place on April 6 at Quinte Secondary School, from 12:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. The next one takes place on April 27 at North
Hastings High School from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Watching kids pick up their dresses or tuxes is an amazing experience, said Maribeth deSnoo, the executive director of the Learning Foundation. “I’m so lucky I get to see these events,” she said. “I get to see the expressions on the kids’ faces. I know what a difference this makes.” This year the Prom Project is looking for outfits ranging in Size 2 to 24. The lone drop off spot this year is at the Quinte Mall community service kiosk. Those who pick up outfits at the two high school events, will also get a voucher to take it to a dry cleaner, to have it cleaned free of charge. The partnering dry cleaners are Parsons Cleaners and Northtown Cleaners in Belleville.
The choices are endless, and so is the comfort.

No cause determined in Bronk Road fire: officials BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Thurlow – The source of a devastating house fire in Thurlow has not been determined, said fire officials, after investigation into a blaze that left a family of eight been displaced when fire destroyed their Bronk Road home on Tuesday, Jan. 31. Belleville firefighters were called to the scene, south of Mudcat Road, at 2:25 p.m. On arrival, and under the command of Station 4 Commander Lt. Scott Reid with assistance from Station 3 Commander Ken Baumhour, firefighters encountered a fast-moving house fire. A long, hilly and ice-packed driveway presented immediate issues with accessing the structure and the delivery of water to the house for extinguishment, said the fire department in a release. The attached garage roof had already collapsed from the intense fire and was advancing quickly through the areas of the attic spaces, as evident from the heavy smoke pouring out the eves of the home. The lone teen boy who was home at the time had safely exited the building after seeing smoke coming from the eaves and seeing more fire and smoke coming from the attached garage, said fire officials. He then called 911. No one was injured in the blaze, but firefighters said Wednesday that three cats were missing.
The boy’s siblings were rerouted to relatives’ houses. The homeowners were on their way home from Quebec at the time of the fire. In an update, issued Thursday, Feb. 2, fire officials said while they believe they have located the area where the fire began, it was not determined how it started. It was, they stressed, accidental in nature. The following update was provided in a statement from Belleville fire department Thursday: “The cause of the fire is being listed as Accidental and Undetermined. Electrical issues have been considered, but cannot be validated. Factors involved with this assessment are based on severely fire damaged appliances – the collapse of the roof over the garage and home and safety factors not permitting further investigation of the home especially in the lower level sections of the home. “An area of origin was determined to be in the attached garage where fire was observed by the lone male youth – home at the time – and by first arriving fire fighters. A point of origin has been determined to be along the lower west wall of the garage behind two freezers where very heavy charring was discovered. From this point –fire spread up the interior of the wall of the garage and kitchen and into the attic space above where it rapidly gained momentum throughout the rest of the home.”
Teen charged, second suspect sought in Tim’s cup theft Belleville - A Stirling teen trying to get a legup on the ubiquitous Tim Horton’s Roll Up The Rim contest is definitely not being asked to ‘play again,’ say Belleville police. Police said in a statement they have arrested a 19-year-old Tim Horton’s employee for stealing boxes full of contest cups from a store storage area. Police said on Jan. 30 and 31, the Tim Horton’s on Wallbridge –Loyalist Road near the 10 Acre Truck Stop had its storage facility broken into. “A number of boxes containing ‘Roll-up – the-rim-to-win’ cups were stolen over the period of two consecutive nights. An investigation has resulted in an former employee being arrested and charged with two counts of break, enter and theft,” said police. Charged is19-year old Steven Seaborn, of
Stirling, who turned himself in to Belleville Police on Feb. 2. Police said the accused man was “observed and positively identified by security cameras within and around the structure. The investigation is continuing with respect to a second suspect, a male described as follows; male white, wearing a light- coloured jacket with a hat and hoody pulled up around his head.” Police also said “photos are forthcoming and will be released a soon as available.” Anyone having information about this occurrence is asked to contact Detective-Sergeant Brad Lentini by phone at (613)-966-0882 ext. #2224 or by email at blentini@police.belleville. on.ca. Callers wishing to remain anonymous can call Quinte Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

“Don’t Panic,” says columnist Dyer in new book on terrorism BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – Maybe Donald Trump and his supporters should read Gwynne Dyer’s latest book. The world-renowned political commentator – whose column appears in dozens of newspapers, including the Belleville News – has authored a new book called Don’t Panic: Isis, Terror and Today’s Middle East. Its main message is that governments that overreact to terrorism by invading other countries can’t win; they only help terrorist organizations recruit new members. It’s a pointed message in today’s turbulent world, where fears over terrorism are so great that the Untied States recently elected a new president who spreads false fears about the threat of Muslim populations (when, in fact, Muslims are often the victims of terrorism attacks themselves). “Do not promise to wipe out terrorists from the face of the Earth by using massive force, because you won’t – you’ll encourage them,” said Dyer, in an interview from his London, England home. Dyer is getting ready to embark on a Canadian tour to promote his book. The tour stops at the Quinte West Public Library on Friday, Feb.
10 at 2 p.m. where he’ll deliver a talk called The Trump Era: Barking Up the Wrong Tree. The tour stops next at the Belleville Public Library on Saturday, February 11 at 2 p.m., where Dyer is expected to speak about his book, Don’t Panic. The event is free, but people are encouraged to preregister by calling 613968-6731 ext. 2237. In an interview to promote the tour, Dyer said, attitudes on how to address terrorism have changed over the years – and not for the better. Terrorism was prevalent in the 1950s and 60s, he said, but many militaries then began developing policies to not over-respond. “The armies finally figured out, that you must not overreact,” Dyer said. “Every time you overreact, you recruit more people to their side, than you’re eliminating. During the 70s that was being taught in military academies over the (western world).” Yet, by the 1990s many of the military generals who subscribed to that belief had retired, he said. So by the time of the terrorism attacks in the United States on Sept. 11, 2001, there was a different political environment. The United States 2003 invasion of Iraq,
a country that didn’t have anything to do with 9/11, was another example of terrorists actually achieving their goal, he suggested. “The strategy (behind 9/11 perpetrators) was very specifically to get the United States to invade somewhere in the Middle East,” Dyer said. Although Dyer lives in England now, he’s a native of Newfoundland and has lived in Canada on and off over the years. The recent news of a terrorism attack at a Quebec City mosque alarmed him, but he said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau addressed that attack
properly when he spoke about “meeting fear and hatred with love and compassion.” As for Trump, he jokes that the U.S. President wouldn’t likely read his book if given the chance. The message he hopes people get out of his tour is that terrorism, while horrible, isn’t nearly the biggest threat to public safety. And therefore governments must analyze the risk involved in addressing it. “I drive my car every day. My likelihood of dying in car crash is one in 1,000,” he said. “My likelihood of dying in a terrorism attack is one in 20 million.” Gwynne Dyer in Belleville Sat.

The Good Earth A Rose is a Foxglove is a Geranium (Part One)
Dan Clost Only by using the International Code for Nomenclature is a rose a rose every time. The first time I heard about a Rose of Sharon, I thought it was a rose bush native to the plains of Sharon in Israel. I grew up in a cool part of Ontario and
I mean it was cold not “cool, man”; come on, what was cool about rural Ontario in the sixties? Mind you, now that I am in my sixties, it would be cool to live on a farm in rural Ontario; but, I digress. A Camelot Rose is a foxglove (digitalis), a Crystal Rose is a geranium, a Zing Rose is a maiden pink (dianthus), a Midnight Rose is a coral bells (heuchera) etc., etc. We, as gardeners, are very much aware that common names for plants work well only when you are in an area where the plant is commonly found. Not only do different plants sport the same or similar sounding names, a “same” plant might be known by different common names depending upon where you are. We might not know white goosefoot but we probably know lambs quarters (Chenopodium album.) So how did a workable naming system evolve? We can look at one of those intellectual giants of the Renaissance, Carl Linnaeus, aka Carolus Linnaeus whenever his name appeared
on a publication. In 1735 Linnaeus published Systema Naturæ. This was the seminal cataloguing of the world and everything in it according to shared characteristics amongst groups of living things. He was the first to create a Domain of Three Kingdoms of Animal, Vegetable, and Mineral and to develop a taxonomy (rules for naming things) based upon those characteristics. Others had certainly developed similar rankings but they were sometimes based on location; for example, whales were included with fish. Linnaeus, in the tenth edition of his work, was the first to put whales in the same group as mammals. Was this system perfect? No, partly because it was limited by the emerging science of the day, partly because of religious views, e.g. creationism might allow minor adaptations of organisms to their environment but Darwin wasn’t around to present an alternate reasoning; and partly, because maps of the known world still
had warnings, i.e. “Here there be dragons”, designating its boundaries. When plants are named, the authority (the namer) is often cited; almost three centuries later, you will still find his name. It wasn’t until 1990 that new kingdoms were added to Linnaeus’ Domain to reflect organisms that weren’t so very well known. They included not only bacteria, but critters that live in extreme environments such as the bottom of the deepest part of the ocean or beside the vents of an underwater volcano. Linnaeus travelled much of the known world but he never did visit the bottom of the Marianas Trench. After all these years, there has only been one serious attempt to develop another classification system- cladistic phylogenetic systemics and the title is the easy part. Technological advances, which allow really clever people to do things like determine the composition of cell walls and map a genome or two, have really
shaken up the current rankings. Did you know there is one group, Archaea, which are identified by their nucleic acid footprint even though they don’t have a nucleus? This is way beyond my pay scale. Not everyone was a fan because of the sexual nature of his work. Hmmm. Linnaeus grouped plants according to their reproductive characteristics- ahem-sex- which didn’t go down so well in a society that had its share of prudes. One fellow called it loathsome harlotry. Carl didn’t respond in a public forum. He simply named a plant after him- one that was used to treat syphilis and leprosy. Moral of the story: whether it be a “he” or a “she”, never mess with The Man. Nest week we’ll learn how to call a rose a rose. End note re current events: There should be no place for hate in any heart; let us find room to love the innocent child within each and every person of the world, no matter their age.

Audiences are missing great shows at Playhouse BY JACK EVANS
Belleville - Two one-act plays by internationally acclaimed Canadian playwright Norm Foster opened in the Belleville Theatre Guild’s Pinnacle Playhouse last week. The guild advertises “double the plays and double the fun.” They’re right on the mark with their slogan, but somehow, audiences don’t know. At least they didn’t as of last Friday night’s show when a scant two dozen of so were in the audience. They enjoyed it, but it was disappointing considering the work involved and the masterful, comedic scripts by Foster, whose forté is comedy. An added treat is that instead of the originally-scheduled Foster play, “The Melville Boys,” which is a great show, but it has been staged here at least once before, we got two completely new shows. The first is “My Narrator.” Struggling artist Lacy, played by Nicole West, is a loser when it comes to love. She has created, a “narrator” ( Heidi Storry) in her mind,who is supposed
to tell her what to do that is right (think smart.) Perhaps the narrator has actually pre-empted Lacy’s life rather than being a creation. Either way, Lacy doesn’t listen. Then she meets Miles, well played by Todd McGowan, another incompetent loser who falls for Lacy but is too awkward for Lacy’s taste. Miles also gets himself a narrator (Terry Boyd) and when the two narrators hit it off, the audience knows it is only a matter of time before the two star-crossed lovers will also. Romantic and fantastical fun. Next, the audience is transported to the after life, where a surprised and confused John, played by Wayne Clarke, is newly dead and tries to make a deal with an excellently played Angel of Death (Christine Leggat.) Like Miles in “Narrator,” John is a good guy loser. He wants to go back and correct some situations in his life. He especially doesn’t want his beloved mother to be the one finding his body alone in his apartment. The angel decides to give him another day to make
the difference. John reconnects with his former sweetheart, a thoroughly mixed up Cassie (Simi Grewal, bravo) who had left him at the altar on the day of their marriage. He intends to chastise her thoroughly but instead, they renew their spark of interest and John finds a way to beat the system by finding a heart specialist who removes his aneurism. His doctor,(stage veteran Marvin Tucker) who originally misdiagnosed him then winds up in the Angels’s office. Told to do the paperwork and learning he must find a job et al, he asks: “Do I have to pay taxes too?” “No, replies the angel. “This isn’t hell.” There are some great chuckles, inspired casting and outstanding acting in both plays. Kudos also to the two directors, Phil Bowerman and Terry Boyd. The shows continue through Left to right, standing, are Wayne Clarke as John and Marvin Tucker as Feb.18.

Climate change may force us to find new sources of food, just like the deer and wild turkeys are doing now, say organizers of a Feb. 23 talk on stewardship. Photo by Dave Bell
Ivanhoe - As the climate changes, we may all be moving and searching for new sources of food, just like the deer and wild turkeys are doing now. On Feb. 23, the latest in a series of environmental stewardship talks will delve into “how our wild animals are learning to move with the climate.” The Hastings Stewardship Council presents Climate Change: New Ways for Wildlife, the fourth presentation in their Winter Speaker Series Feb. 23 in Ivanhoe. “Weather patterns are becoming more extreme and unpredictable, and all plants and animals are being challenged to adapt to these new conditions. Hear the latest reports from two wildlife specialists. Melissa Laplante and Lisa Solomon, Management Biologists with the Ministry of Natural Resources & Forestry, will talk about changing population dynamics under a warming climate with a focus on deer and wild turkeys,” said a statement from the council.
“As the climate changes, some species will adapt by migrating to new locations, changing their breeding seasons, and seeking new food sources. Some of the less adaptable species may disappear from their current habitats. Hybridization is developing between different animal species (e.g., northern and southern flying squirrels, or wolves and coyotes). There are changes in the rates of disease and parasites in wildlife species. Don’t miss a fascinating discussion about the changes in relationships between predators and prey. “Come and bring your questions on Thursday, Feb. 23 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Huntington Veterans Community Hall, 11379 Highway 62, in Ivanhoe. An entrance fee of $5 per person (or a donation) will help cover costs. Children are free.” For more information, contact Matt Caruana at 613-391-9034 or info@hastingsstewardship.ca. Or visit hastingsstewardship.ca
A recital by singing students of professional opera singer Douglas J.Rice, Sunday evening, proved to be a full-blown concert – dubbed Quinte Cocktail - with quality performances by more than 20 singers from both his Belleville and Toronto studios, plus ensemble numbers. On an evening when football’s Super Bowl seemed to be the dominant focus, St. Matthew’s Church was filled to near capacity for a delightful evening of song. Opening were seven male voices, rich tenors and baritones, in a stirring operatic chorus, “Nella Fantasia,” by E. Morricome. As the procession of soloists went on, Rosalin Juranty performed a cabaret style song from Franz Lehar, “Meine Lippen Sie Kuessen So Heiss,” followed by five-year-old Isabella Guan, who won the audience over for her clear and competent performance of “I Need a Home for My Dinosaur (My Mom Wants to Give It Away.)” In a different vein, Dante Duffus, a youthful treble, shone in a ballad by M. Mrozinski about a western desperado who goes to Chicago. Also different was Hamilton Carvallho, who demonstrated the art of singing contra tenor. A rich bass baritone, Wayne Line almost blew the hall down with a powerful performance of the famous Toreador toast song from “Carmen.” One after another, the singers worked through the song repertoire from baroque to contemporary, opera to Broadway, solos, duets, and ensembles, closing with the lively “Sing for your Supper,” by Rogers and Hart from the hit musical, “The Boys from Syracuse,” with nine of the female singers splitting the trio parts, including talented young Belleville musician, Tabitha Savic, whose brother, David, also performed. A newcomer to Belleville, Rice is obviously making his mark in the voice training field. Rice accompanied all of his students himself on the piano, displaying yet another skill.

Belleville - Do you know the standard size of a glass of wine or spirits? If you don't, you may be drinking more than you realize. Hastings Prince Edward Public Health (HPEPH) is encouraging people to "Rethink Your Drinking" in a campaign designed to promote the Canadian LowRisk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines. Public Health nurses Jenny Gaylord and Stephanie MacDonald were at the Bell Boulevard LCBO in Belleville on Thursday. Feb. 2, to promote the campaign, which is running across the province during February. "We're doing the Standard Drink Challenge," MacDonald explained. "We're raising awareness of the standard drink sizes and the low-risk alcohol drinking guidelines." Visitors to the LCBO were invited to pour liquid into different types of glasses to indicate what they thought was a standard serving. For many, it was a surprise as they discovered what they thought was a

standard serving was actually much higher than the guidelines. If they overestimated, then their idea of two glasses might actually be closer to three or four. "We don't always know how much we're drinking," MacDonald explained. "It can be eye-opening for some people," Gaylord added. "This is to get people thinking about their drinking and make informed decisions." The HPEPH will be hosting a standard drink challenge booth at LCBO locations across Hastings and Prince Edward Counties throughout this month. In addition, HPEPH will be using social media during February to challenge individuals to participate in the #DrinkFreeHPE challenge by cutting out or cutting back their alcohol consumption and then sharing their experience using the hashtag #DrinkFreeHPE on Twitter or Facebook. HPEPH will be following the hashtag, and participants have the opportunity to win a variety of prizes. For more information about "Rethink Your Drinking," visit www.rethinkyourdrinking.ca.
