Double whammy for house fire victim BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Trent Hills – It was bad enough having a fire leave your home uninhabitable. But to then have possessions stolen from two outbuildings in the days that followed, well, “it was a like a double kick in the head,” says the owner. The fire occurred at his residence on the 14th Line in mid-February, while the man and his wife were out for the evening. An investigation was unable to determine its cause but it was “unintentional,” Trent Hills Fire Chief Tim Blake said at the time. The house is beyond repair and will need to be torn down. Blake estimated the loss at $250,000. The owner didn't discover he had been victimized a second time until March 4, “quite a while after the fire.” “A lot of our salvageable stuff was in the outbuildings,” said the man, who asked that his name not be used. “I don't want these lowlifes knowing my name and who I am,” he said. The stolen items included a red riding lawnmower, a guitar, an aluminum ladder, a toolbox with tools, a punching bag, a blue-and-white Coleman cooler, and a Yamaha acoustic guitar. The locks on the outbuildings were broken and “they left a large ramp in the driveway,” he said, which he speculates was used to load the mower “on the back of their truck, I guess.” The wooden makeshift ramp “weighs half a ton,” he added. “It's a big piece of evidence they left behind ... It is something that somebody might recognize.” The owner said his house was also entered through a window that had been smashed and four hi-fi speakers stolen. He asked that anyone with information This makeshift ramp was left behind after a riding lawnmower and other possessions were stolen about the theft to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800from outbuildings in the days following a fire at a Trent Hills home that left it in such bad shape it 222-TIPS (8477) or a local detachment office of will have to be torn down.

Retired teacher and her husband defend Madoc Township Public School BY SUE DICKENS
Madoc Township — Retired teacher Gayle Ketcheson previously taught at Madoc Township Public School. She and her husband, Grant, have been concerned about the its fate ever since news of the accommodation service review was made public. Her husband noted, “My great grandfather, my father, and my mother and I all went to school at that site starting in 1950 — and my father, Allen Ketcheson, was at one time one of the councillors, and in 1967 was reeve of Madoc Township.” In their letter to council, the Ketchesons pointed out that every member of council either attended the Madoc Township school or have children who attend. One of the couple’s first actions after learning of the proposed changes by the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board was to write the township’s elected officials and ask them to publicly state their position — for or against. They subsequently did so in a letter to the school board,

which was written by Coun. Carrie Smith and unanimously supported by council. Coun. Smith’s letter opposed the closure and noted that the move by the school board “isn’t, in reality, due to the declining enrolment of students there, but rather to save Centre Hastings Secondary School.” Gayle wrote, “A forward-thinking council in the 1950s thought of the future and established our central township school over a half-century ago. This was in an era when many rural municipalities still clung to their oneroom schools and the antiquated idea of school sections.” Grant continued along that vein and wrote a two-page letter to council, which he also sent to Lucille Kyle, chair of the school board. His comments were strong, and in one instance he stated, “I will wager that the mandarins in the Belleville office moving their educational chess pieces around have never visited the school communities that they are about to destroy. Yes, in rural areas, these are not just schools; they are school communities.” He said the move would be a dis-

ruption to the whole community. He also wrote about the increasingly “alarming level of inactivity and obesity in children,” which makes the township school’s spacious 5.5 acre playground and one-quarter mile running track a better place for them. He also pointed out that the Madoc Township school students’ Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) rating is the highest in Hastings County. Grant believes it “makes more sense” to reverse the decision made several years ago that removed Grade 7 and Grade 8 students from the school and sent them to Madoc. “It would behoove administrators and decision-makers to visit schools such as Madoc Township School before they destroy them, just to see what kind of facility they have ... that’s why I get a little steamed,” he said. “I know you can’t go back to the past and have one-room schools, but we should worry about the next generation’s education.

Former teacher pleads guilty to sex crimes Belleville – A former grade school teacher pleaded guilty Tuesday to numerous sex-related charges in a Belleville court involving eight minors. Jaclyn McLaren Jones uttered just one word – “guilty” – during the hearing, presided by Justice Stephen Hunter. The case was delayed twice during morning proceedings so McLaren could discuss details of her plea with her lawyer, Pieter Kort. Crown prosecutor Lynn Ross read a long statement of agreed facts into the record when court resumed, summarizing the 42 charges that had been brought before the court; charges that included sexual assault, sexual interfer-

ence, invitation to sexual touching, sexual exploitation, luring a child, inviting sexual touching and publishing sexually explicit material. The crimes all took place in the Tweed area, between 2013 and 2015, where McLaren was a French teacher at Tweed Elementary School. The names of the victims cannot be released, as they’re subject to a publication ban. Outside the courtroom, Ross said the Crown may seek a sentence that includes time in a federal penitentiary. She said it was an unusual case and the victims are welcome to seek counselling. For more details go to InsideBelleville.com.

Prayerful day in Hastings BY BILL FREEMAN
Hastings — Mabuhay! Welcome! People were certainly welcomed at St. George’s Anglican Church in Hastings where one of many World Day of Prayer (WDP) services across the country was celebrated. This year’s ecumenical service was written by the Christian women of the Philippines, with Filipino native and Trent Hills resident Olivia Morey and her daughter being special guests for the occasion. Organized nationwide by the Women’s InterChurch Council of Canada (WICC) and representing 11 church partners, the service has a global reach with celebrations in at least 170 different and 95 languages. At least 2,000 communities across Canada held WDP services. The archipelago nation of 7,000 islands is on the “front lines” of climate change, foreign mining and resource interests and has experienced a “regional insurgency” and "social upheaval” due to migration, and the service heard from Filipino women seeking economic and social justice. The service took as its theme Jesus’s question -- “Am I Being Unfair to You?” -- which he asked of those who felt they deserved more than others. The service began with women carrying symbols telling the stories of Filipino girls and women who are victims of domestic violence or sex trafficking, migrant domestic workers in the country or abroad and survivors that are “harmed emotionally and economically by diseases in the environment or unsustainable development policies.” The WICC issued scores of community grants across Canada with offerings from the 2016 service.

OPINION
Dutch election and the immigrant backlash The Dutch political system may not have been deliberately designed to produce middle-of-the-road outcomes, but it certainly works that way in practice: many small parties, multi-party coalitions to create a Gwynne Dyer majority government, perpetual compromise. It is almost impossible to radicalize a system like this, but Geert Wilders is going to try. Wilders is the founder and leader of the Freedom Party (PVV), which currently holds only twelve seats in the 150-seat Dutch parliament. But he is aiming to make it the largest single party in the March 15 election – which, in ordinary times, would probably give it the leading role in the next coalition government. But these are not normal times, and the PVV is far from a normal party. It really only has one policy – stop the immigrants – and it is unashamedly racist and anti-Muslim in its rhetoric. Wilders recently called Dutch residents of Moroccan origin “scum”. He vows to close mosques and Islamic schools, ban the sale of the Koran, and stop all further immigrants or asylum seekers from Muslim countries. He is the Dutch Donald Trump, a silvermaned provocateur who deploys the maximum possible nastiness in his campaign talk and his frequent abusive tweets. In fact, some people argue that Trump must have taken lessons from Wilders, who has been working this side of the street for at least a decade already, but the concept of convergent evolution probably applies. Populists are almost always racists too. Which brings us to the question that is most interesting for people who don’t live in the Netherlands. Can racism and xenophobia alone, without any help from economic desperation, persuade a traditionally liberal Western electorate to cast its values aside and vote for an authoritarian bully with an anti-Muslim obsession? Trump had lots of help from economic despair. The key voters who gave him an electoral college victory last November were in the Rust Belt states: men (they were mostly men) who would usually have backed Democratic candidates, but switched to Trump because he promised to “bring back the jobs” and stop the nonwhite immigration. There was certainly a large element of racial panic in the American vote. A survey by Zack Beauchamp of the opinion polling and recent academic research on the topic, entitled
News. CENTRAL HASTINGS TRENT HILLS
®
“White Riot” and published on Vox on 20 January, documented the argument that “the real sources of the far-right’s appeal are anger over immigration and a toxic mix of racial and religious intolerance.” On the other hand, the Rust Belt states south of the Great Lakes, the former industrial heartland of the United States, are the places that have suffered the greatest job losses over the past few decades, which is why cities like Cleveland and Detroit are decaying and partly abandoned. And they are emphatically NOT major destinations for new immigrants to the US. Trump himself always ensures that he hits on both immigration and job losses in his speeches and tweets, and he is the world’s expert on the fears and prejudices of his supporters. Could we perhaps speculate that his supporters say that they are frightened about immigration and especially Mulim immigration, but that their racism is really driven in large part by their anger at the steep decline in the number of wellpaid industrial jobs? Of the six states with over a million immigrants – California, New York, Texas, Florida, Illinois and New Jersey – only Florida (where Trump won by a whisker) and Texas (which has voted Republican in every presidential election since 1980) voted for Trump. California, whose ten million immigrants make up 27 percent of the state population, voted two-to-one for Hillary Clinton. It would seem that, in the words of the old Phil Spector song, to know, know, know them is to love, love, love them (the immigrants), or at least not to fear them. Whereas Michigan, a Rust-Belt state that voted Democratic in the previous six elections and where only 6 percent of the population are immigrants, voted for Trump. The narrow Leave majority countrywide was won in depressed northern industrial cities where immigrant populations are low, and in prosperous rural areas where there are virtually no immigrants at all. So there was again racial panic at the changing ethnic face of England in areas where immigrants were largely absent, but especially in post-industrial areas where they are (wrongly) blamed for the loss of wellpaying jobs. In populist revolts elsewhere, the manifest racism and anti-immigrant sentiment that dominated in the opinion polls masked a deeper resentment about the loss of jobs. In the Netherlands, where unemployment is only 5 percent, Geert Wilders is depending on racism alone, and he is not heading for a Brexitor Trump-style victory. The latest opinion poll gives him just 15 percent of the vote.

Trump just may be going too far this time Editorial by Chris Malette Another week another whistle stop on the crazy train that is the Donald Trump presidency. This time, the president who is weekly leading many to question his intelligence and mental stability, may be about to seriously impact Canada in a way few of us here on the shores of the Great Lakes could imagine. Reports out of the U.S. say Trump and his acolytes who view environmental protection as hippy hair-braiding are about to gut the agencies that protect and improve the very health of 20 per cent of the planet’s fresh drinking water – The Great Lakes. In the first widespread exposure of the nefarious plans of the Trump administration to gut environmental protection, the Detroit Free Press published portions of a story last Thursday from the original work done by Oregonian environmental reporter Rob Davis, who obtained leaked documents that show proposed cuts across the board for the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA, of course, is now to be the Trump administration’s whipping boy, chief among the despised federal agencies that Trump and his band of climate change deniers and anti-environmentalism thugs will gut like a piñata to fund tax breaks for industry and provide massive increases in spending for the US’s already bloated military goliath. The National Association of Clean Air Agencies confirmed that an initial proposal from the White House Office of Management and Budget calls for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative to be cut from $300 million a year to about $10 million. Also, the Washington Post reported last week that the White House was looking at cutting the EPA budget from $8.2 billion to $6.1 billion and reducing staffing by 3,000 employees as it looks to increase funding for the military and slash regulations on everything from industrial inspections to the coast guard and agricultural oversight. Remember, here in the region that hugs the north shore of Lake Ontario, if the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative is targeted for such a drastic reduction, say experts, it would decimate a program that has helped pay to restore wetlands and improve water quality across the Great Lakes basin. It may be based in the U.S. and funded by federal tax dollars there, but 80 to 90 per cent of the pollution and nutrient loading in the lakes originates there. It’s the old sleeping with an elephant thing – every aspect

of environmental malfeasance on the part of the U.S. affects us here on this side of the border as the lakes know no international borders. But, here at home, we have been watching as the progress on cleaning up our own link to the Great Lakes has been nothing short of remarkable in its scope and achievements. If anyone can stomach to recall the state of the Bay of Quinte in the 1950s, ‘60s and early ‘70s they’ll remember a fetid soup of algae and dirty brown water. But, that changed a scant three decades ago and it’s all tied to American funding of clean water initiatives for the Great Lakes. In 1985, the International Joint Commission (a Canadian – American Great Lakes watchdog), under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, identified the Bay of Quinte as one of 43 Great Lakes Areas of Concern. In other words, along with such filthy water bodies as Hamilton Harbour, the bay was a pollution hot-spot. One of the main environmental issues with the Bay has always been the amount of nutrients entering it, particularly phosphorus. Phosphorus is a naturally-occurring element. In just the right amount, it’s a beneficial, life-giving nutrient for rivers, lakes, bays, and streams. On the other hand, too much phosphorus plays havoc with nature and spawns massive algae blooms. The BQRAP has reduced the amount of phosphorus entering the bay from multiple sources, both rural and urban, such as sewage treatment plants, stormwater run-off, and agricultural land practices. With the reduction in phosphorus levels, water clarity has improved due to reduced algae. Programs were begun to educate farmers and those industries around the watersheds of the hazards of nutrient overloading and how to stem the flow, to use just one example. None of that happens without money – money from Ottawa and money from Washington. States-wise, new EPA head and former Oklahoma attorney general Scott Pruitt, is expected to review any proposals for cuts before a budget plan is finalized. One can only hope that diplomacy can send a strong, clear and committed signal from Canada that we cannot, will not, stand by and watch a maniacal ideology that is contrary to healthy stewardship of the planet ruin the good works of decades of environmental progress on such a massive, fragile resource as the Great Lakes.

Women celebrated in Marmora
BY SUE DICKENS
Marmora — “We’ve got everything, mind, body and spirit, celebrated,” said Rev. Janice Chrysler, the inspiration and organizer of a week filled with events that culminate with International Women’s Day (IWD), March 8. For Chrysler the support of the Municipality of Marmora and Lake with an official declaration and ribbon cutting ceremony brought the event to the forefront in the community. Gathering at the Marmora Historical Foundation for the ribbon cutting on March 1, women celebrated the local theme #WomenJustWanttoHaveFun Marmora’s Deputy Mayor Linda Bracken and Coun. Elaine Jones joined Rev. Chrysler to cut the ribbon and begin the festivities. “I have been celebrating International Women's Day in Marmora for six years expanding it three years ago to include all the businesses with the municipality's declaration,” said Rev. Chrysler, spiritual growth facilitator, Mindful Journey. To show their support and participation businesses displayed large purple and white bows on their storefronts. The gathering at the foundation during the official first day, gave women the opportunity to socialize and network with coffee, cookies and celebration. Rev. Chrysler said mini sessions, vendors, food and more at the Marmora Community Centre on Saturday, March 4, reflect not only the local theme, but IWD’s campaign #BeBold For Change with Healing Circle Spiritual Growth

Sweet wins at the 17th annual Maple Syrup Festival show
Best Photograph - “Loon Surfacing” by Matthew King of Marmora with the judge, Susan Holland. Photo by Mary Weilandt
BY SUE DICKENS
Warkworth — Praise such as “the use of colour is outstanding, and “the photographer has an excellent eye” were the words of Susan Holland, who judged the entries in the 17th annual Maple Syrup Festival art and photography show and sale hosted by the Spirit of the Hills Northumberland Hills Arts Association. Curator of the John M. Parrott Art Gallery in Belleville, Susan Holland judged the work of 37 artists including painters, photographers, mixed media artisans, and a sculptor on Sunday, March 6. The judging was a prelude to the main event, which is an exhibition of the work of these painters and photographers from throughout Northumberland County from places such as Baltimore, Campbellford,
Castleton, Cobourg, Grafton, Hastings, Port Hope and Warkworth. Their work will be featured in conjunction with Warkworth’s Maple Syrup Festival on Sat., March 11 and Sun., March 12 at 13 Main St., (formerly Eclectic Mix) from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The exhibition continues for the following two weekends, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The judge chose the following winners: Best in Show — “Crested” by Paivikki Marshall of Warkworth, chosen because, “her technical ability is amazing. The light is so true. The use of yellow continues through the entire painting and is so evocative that the viewer wants to step into the painting and be right there.” Best Photograph — “Loon Surfacing” by Matthew King of Marmora. The judge said, “I was quite eager to see the photo after the initial judging phase. The movement in the water really catches the actuality of nature. The photographer has an excellent eye.” Best Painting — “Garlic Study” by Louise Leclair-Aronson of Grafton. “The image caught my attention during the first stage of the judging process. The first thing I noticed was the texture and the colour treatment of the garlic. The use of colour is outstanding, very realistic in a softer way,” said Holland. Best 3D/Mixed Media — "Roadblock" by Rob Cochrane of Roseneath. The judge noted, “The craftsmanship is superb. There is detail in everything: the fish fins, the bear fur and the trees. The time it must have taken to bring this 3-D piece to life is remarkable.” Overall Honourable Mention — “Morning Has Broken” by Christopher Thorpe of
Norwood Veterinary Services New owner Dr Sam Munn and associate Dr Sandy Smith Full service Hospital for your animal companions 705.639.2333 • F: 705.639.1039 4248 Hwy 7, Box 59, Norwood, ON K0L 2V0 Best 3D/Mixed Media - “Roadblock” by norvetservices@hotmail.com • www.norwoodvetservices.com Rob Cochrane of Roseneath. The judge, Susan Holland, accepted on his behalf. .Photo by Mary Weilandt

Warkworth. The judge explained that, “The photograph is so good it just had to be mentioned. The misty morning image is very well constructed. It brings the viewer right into the photograph via the gradation of colour and light. The viewer has to look a few times to notice everything. Birds are a little discovery at the end; even though they are the starkest element.” Prizes were donated by: On the Side Catering (Best in Show); Warkworth Farm Supply (Best Painting); Snapshots in Campbellford (Best Photograph); Trentmendous in Warkworth (Best 3D / Mixed Media); and The Village Pantry, Warkworth (People’s Choice).

Flood warnings issued for Moira, Black, Register now for March Break at Stirling Library Skootamatta Rivers As residents living in the mid to upper reaches of the Moira River area can attest, water levels in the river are rising rapidly and the local conservation authority warns it could reach a dangerous level quickly this week.

OPP target illegal activities at Seymour Conservation Area Trent Hills -Throughout the months of March and April members from the Northumberland detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) will be focusing their efforts on reducing the incidents of illegal activities occurring at the Seymour Conservation Area south of Campbellford. As a result of complaints received related to drug and alcohol use within the park, officers will be increasing their patrols in an effort to discourage and enforce infractions of this type. The focus of this initiative is to identify the individuals responsible and exercise a ‘zero tolerance’ approach to offences committed Focused Patrol directs police officer
presence to locations where the need for police services is greatest; for example, to areas with high crime rates or where a larger volume of calls for service are being experienced. Through data analysis, crime and traffic trends can be identified, along with underlying causal factors, times and locations. With this information detachments are able to develop focused patrol initiatives to deal with traffic safety and crimes with high severity or victimization rates. In addition to data analysis, Patrol initiatives can be developed in response to public complaints and Detachment Action Plan priorities.

Enjoy dinner and music on March 18 at Stirling Rotary fundraiser BY TERRY MCNAMEE
Stirling—The Fade Kings, a band based in the Quinte area, are performing at the Stirling Railway Station on Saturday, March 18, both as a fundraiser for the local Rotary Club and as a fun night out to celebrate both St. Patrick’s Day and the Spring Solstice. “We don’t really see this as a big fundraising event, or the ticket price would be much higher than $10, since our seating is limited to just over 100 people,” said Stirling Rotary Club president Andrew Marre. “(It’s) more of a community event, really, and a way to support local musicians who add
so much to the cultural life in our area. The Fade Kings could not make it for St. Patrick’s Day, so we will take this as a night to celebrate the return of warmer weather. — a bit of an early Solstice Party, if you will.” Doors will open for dinner at 6 p.m., with the Fade Kings taking to the stage at 7. There will be wine and beer available to enjoy with a chili and garlic bread dinner and, in honour of St. Patrick, there also will be soda bread and Irish stew. The Fade Kings include John ‘Jake’ deVries (bass & vocals), Eric Fry (guitar & vocals), Dave Impey (drums & vocals), and Leigh Moore (keyboards & vocals). They play original songs as well as covering many other artists, among
Stirling—It’s been a problem across parts of southern Ontario and in recent years it has moved north into Hastings County in ever-larger concentrations. Now both the County and individual townships are drawing the lines in the sand to eradicate the invasive noxious week. At the meeting of Stirling-Rawdon Council on Monday, March 6, Mayor and Hastings Warden Rodney Cooney said plans are being in put in place throughout the county to deal with the weed. He said the county has a crew to spray any county roads for wild parsnip on request. Each township must deal with their own roads themselves and put together a Request For Proposal (a tender) to deal with the problem. “We’ve got a big problem on our roads,” commented Councillor Dean Graff. The Mayor said the county has all the hotspots identified on GIS mapping. “It’s something we probably should look at in our budget,” he said. “It hasn’t been a big thing, but its getting to be a big thing.... It’s getting to be a huge issue. “Hopefully MTO will do something on their roads and we’ll do something on our roads.” Wild parsnip is an invasive species brought to Ontario
and other parts of North America by European settlers, who grew it for its edible root. Over the years, it has escaped from gardens and now is running wild across places like roadsides, empty lots, meadows, waste dumps and beside railway tracks. If a person comes in contact with the sap and then is exposed to sunlight, the sap creates rashes, blisters and often serious burns, similar to the rash from giant hogweed and just as dangerous. By outcompeting native plants, it reduces biodiversity and it can infect the quality of agricultural forage by invading hay and grain fields and livestock pastures. Anyone spraying or digging to remove the plants must be completely covered in protective gear. For help identifying wild parsnip, go to http://www. invadingspecies.com/invaders/plants-terrestrial/wild-parsnip The Township also will ask the Hastings and Prince Edward Counties Health Unit to come and apply larvicide when the weather is wet enough to require it. This was a request from the Unit to reduce the numbers of mosquito larvae in order to prevent and/or control West Nile Virus. Stirling residents also are reminded that the next public meeting about the possibility of hiring the Ontario Provincial Police to take over policing in the township will be held at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, March 22, at the Stirling Festival Theatre.

Seniors Feature
Keep your heart running strong into your golden years Heart health should be a concern for people of all ages, but especially so for men and women over 50. That’s because, according to the American Heart Association, even men and women who are free of cardiovascular disease at age 50 are at a significant lifetime risk of developing the disease. But heart disease does not have to be an accepted by product of aging. For example, a 2014 study published in the AHA journal Circulation found that maintaining or increasing physical activity after age 65 can improve the heart’s well-being and lower risk of heart attack. In addition to increasing physical activity as they age, older men and women who understand heart disease and learn to recognize its symptoms have a greater chance of minimizing its affects and lowering their risk of having a heart attack. What are the symptoms of heart disease? Heart disease is a blanket term used to describe a host of conditions, so symptoms vary depending on each individual condition. The following are some of the more widely known conditions and their symptoms: • Hypertension: Also known as high blood pressure, hypertension is a largely symptomless form of heart disease. The AHA notes that the idea that hypertension produces symptoms such as difficulty sleeping, facial flushing, nervousness, and sweating is a misconception. Symptoms typically do not alert men and women to the presence of hypertension, highlighting the emphasis men and women should place on
routine visits to the doctor’s office, where their blood pressure can be taken. • Heart attack: The symptoms of a heart attack are different than the symptoms of heart disease that may lead to heart attack. The former can be found by visiting www.heart.org. Signs that you may be heading toward a heart attack include undue fatigue, palpitations (the sensation that your heart is skipping a beat or beating too rapidly), dyspnea (difficulty or labored breathing), chest pain or discomfort from increased activity. • Arrhythmia: Arrhythmia means your heartbeat is irregular, and men and women often mistakenly believe arrhythmia only afflicts those who already have been diagnosed with heart disease or have had a heart attack. But arrhythmia can affect even those men and women who have healthy hearts and no history of cardiovascular disease. Symptoms of arrhythmia can vary greatly, from a single premature beat to a series of premature beats that occur in rapid succession. Arrhythmia that lasts long enough to affect heart function may include symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, fatigue, dizziness, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, and chest pain. How can I protect my heart? Heart healthy habits take some effort, but men and women can protect their hearts regardless of their ages. • Get sufficient exercise. At least 30 minutes of exercise per day can protect against disease.
SO THAT WE MAY BE FREE. For every war, there are many who bravely and proudly leave their loved ones behind to protect the freedoms that we as Canadians are afforded. It is these brave few we honour.

• Quit smoking. Smoking increases your rick for a host of ailments, including heart disease. Quitting is a great way to start getting your heart and other parts of your body back on track. • Include heart-healthy foods in your diet. A diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables and low in cholesterol, salt and saturated fat promotes heart health. • Don’t drink alcohol to excess. Like smoking, drinking alcohol to excess can lead to a host of problems, such as high blood pressure, arrhythmia and high cholesterol, each of which increases your risk of heart disease.
• Lose weight. Being overweight or obese is a major risk factor for heart disease. If you have already started to exercise daily and eat a more heart-healthy diet, then you’re on your way to losing weight. Consult your physician if diet and exercise don’t seem to be helping you to shed pounds. Heart disease kills millions of people across the globe each year, many of whom are over 50. But men and women who learn about heart disease and how to reduce their risk stand a far greater chance of fighting the disease.

Red Devil Rhino Sports Minor Midgets win OMHA bronze
A Bronze Medal win gives the Red Devils minor midgets two silver medals, a bronze and a fourth place finish in four of the last five years. Whitby Wildcats took the gold and the Brampton 45’s skated to the silver. In game-by-game detail for the OMHA finals: Game #1 – Brampton 45’s (8-3 loss) The game that ultimately decided the team’s fate in the championship weekend was the opener against the eventual silver medal winners the Brampton 45’s. The Red Devils played a strong two periods, but a 2:49 second stretch at the end of the second period sealed the fate of the game, as the Red Devils let the 45s pour on the goals that eventually sunk the Devils. Quinte goals were scored by Bailey Matthews, Emmet Pierce and Graham Dickerson while assists went to Matt Cawker (2), Graham Dickerson, Jake Campbell
and Derrick Vos. Game MVP honours went to Graham Dickerson. Game #2 – Grey-Bruce Highlanders (3-1 Win) The team came out with a better performance against a fast Highlanders team and would skate to a 3-1 win on the strength of a complete team effort. Ethan Taylor was in net for the win. Goals were scored by Matt Cawker, Michael Andrews and Daniel Panetta while assists went to Derrick Vos, Graham Dickerson, Daniel Panetta, Dalton Bancroft and Michael Andrews. Game MVP honours went to Ethan Taylor. Game #3 – Ajax-Pickering Raiders (5-5 Tie) The Ajax Pickering Raiders have been a tough team for the Red Devils over the last three seasons with Ajax winning the majority of the games. This would be yet another test for the team. Ethan Taylor was in net for the tie. Goals
were scored by Emmet Pierce, Dalton Bancroft, Michael Andrews(2) and Logan White while assists went to Cameron Supryka, Jake Campbell(2), Zach Uens, Daniel Panetta(2) and Dalton Bancroft(2). Game MVP honours went to Michael Andrews. Game #4 – Whitby Wildcats (4-0 Loss) A must win game for the Red Devils and Brennan Bush was called upon to give his team a chance to win and he did exactly that stopping all but a few shots he faced. Whitby was just too much in the end as the Devils surrendered the loss and an eventual meeting with Ajax in the Bronze Medal Game. Game MVP honours went to Zach Uens. Bronze Medal Game - Ajax-Pickering Raiders (4-2 Win) Ethan Taylor would get the start in the Championship game and played very well and gave his team every opportunity to win the game. Goals were scored

Campbellford COSSA champs, earn shot at high school provincial title BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Campbellford – A hat trick by Elijah Brahaney, including the winner in overtime, and a four-point performance by Matt Sherwin propelled the Campbellford District High School Flames to a COSSA A/AA boys hockey championship Monday afternoon. Brahaney broke a 3-3 tie with the Centre Hastings Secondary School Centurions on an electrifying rush down the right side that ended with a wrister that beat Hayden Hammock in the Madoc net with 3:34 left in the extra period. “I was just hoping to get a shot on net,” Brahaney said after the game. “Good things happen when you do that.” Sherwin figured in all four Campbellford goals, scoring once and assist-
ing on all three Brahaney goals. “This is pretty amazing,” Brahaney said after the game. “I haven't won anything like this in a long time” -- an all-Ontario championship while playing atom. He attributed the victory to a “great coaching staff” and everyone playing together. Jeff Hamma, Brandon Grills and Liam Stoltz scored for the Centurions. Phil Boivin was solid in net for the Flames, who advanced to the AA final by pummelling the Prince Edward Collegiate Institute Panthers 15-2 earlier in the day. Sherwin led the way with two goals and six assists. Joe Crothers, Nolan Beamish, Jack Petherick, Ethan Conte and Blaine Thompson contributed two goals apiece, while Brahaney was held to one goal along with Zack
Nicholson and Caleb Nicholson. “At the start of the year we didn't think we were that good but we came on fast,” said Thompson, the team's captain. His teammates are a “fantastic group, they all work so hard.” “Pretty exciting for sure,” said Boivin who is one of many Flames who are also looking to win a provincial title as a member of the Campbellford Colts midget team. Boivin also said the Flames “started off a little slow” at the beginning of the season. “But then we started to gel together and win some hockey games.” Enough of them to finish in first place in the Kawartha Boys High School Hockey League,

only to lose in the final of the playoffs 5-2 March 2 at home to the secondplace team, the Saint Peter Saints. Coach Jason Masters praised Centre Hastings for putting up a tough fight, especially with its tenacious forechecking. “They took a lot of time and space from our boys, which made it difficult for us, but our boys kept their feet moving, and did what they had to do, play hard in our zone, and we got the win,” he said. “We run three lines and six D, and absolutely everybody contributed today.” As Central Ontario Secondary School Athletics champi-
ons – the school's first title since 2006 – the Flames qualified for the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Association's boys A/AA 16-team round-robin championship tournament that will take place in Fort Frances later this month. “We'll be doing some fundraising” to help pay for the team's flight to Northern Ontario and player accommodations for a week, assistant coach Brad Mountain said. “We'll be gladly accepting donations.” Campbellford won bronze at OFSAA in 2007.

Pee Wee Hornets swept by Muskoka Rock
BY BILL FREEMAN
Norwood – The Muskoka Rock took advantage of opportunities and some miscues to complete a 3-0 sweep over the Archer Trucking-J.J. Stewart Motors pee wee Hornets in OMHA “DD” semi-final action. The Rock erased a late 1-0 third period deficit with three goals in less than two minutes to skate by the Hornets at the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre. An empty net goal made it 4-1
for the visitors. The Hornets faced a must-win situation after losing the opening two games in entertaining thrillers 3-2 and 3-1. Norwood led 1-0 on a first period goal by Colby Hanbidge, assisted by Riley Thompson. They defended that lead until the final eight minutes of the game when the Rock jumped on a couple of mistakes and missed coverages to seize control of the game.
“It was a solid effort throughout the series and the playoffs as a whole,” Hornets coach Greg Hartwick said. “We always had trouble in this series finding that elusive second goal to help us get control of the game,” They were unable to do that during the three games and that cost them, Hartwick said The Rock will face the Drayton Defenders for the Laverne Reynolds Trophy.

Campbellford – The Campbellford Colts completed their third straight series sweep in the playdowns Feb. 26 to advance to the OMHA midget CC championship. The Colts won a pair in Walkerton after opening the six-point series with a win at home a week earlier. Sam Brunton made 19 saves for the shutout and Nolan Beamish, Haydon Baptie and Dawson Turcotte provided the offence in the team's 3-0 triumph Feb. 26. Campbellford defeated 5-1 two days earlier with Philip Boivin in net. He stopped 25 shots. Ethan Conte and Zack Nicholson each scored twice, and Cameron Gorton closed out the scoring. Turcotte collected two assists. “They're an awesome group of kids,” coach Ben McKeown said. “Good mentality. They aren't happy unless they play their best hockey.” Even after taking the series opener 4-2, they were a subdued bunch in the dressing room because they realized they hadn't played to their full potential “and knew they had to play better,” he said. Which they did in Walkerton. Their opponents tried to intimidate them “but it didn't work out because our guys are a little stronger than they are,” McKeown said. The team had a rule
at the beginning of the season that if any player took a stupid penalty, he would sit for five minutes. “We only had to sit a kid once for a stupid penalty all playoffs which says a lot for this age group,” McKeown said. The Colts are also “very fast and very talented. We have some guys that can lay the body but we don't go out of our way like a lot of teams do.” The team finished the regular season with a record of 15-3-4 in the Eastern Ontario Minor Hockey League, just two points behind Ennismore in the 15-team circuit. Most of the Colts also play for the high school team, which is in the hunt for a championship as well. Six team members are from Norwood, which didn't have a midget team this season. McKeown, 24, was a member of Campbellford's last midget squad to win a provincial title, in 2010, when it defeated Tavistock. The two teams will meet again in the final with the Colts playing host to the Titans this Saturday, March 11, in the series opener. The third game is scheduled for Campbellford March 18 and the fifth, if necessary, for March 25. Start time for all three at home is 3 p.m. Campbellford began its march to the final with three-game sweeps of North Frontenac and Brighton.

You can count your calories when eating out – it’s law BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – Quick: which has more calories, a Boston cream doughnut or an apple fritter? An apple fritter at Tim Hortons contains 310 calories, so if you’re trying to slim down, you may want to try the Boston cream, with just 220 calories. This information is conveniently available to consumers after new Ontario legislation that requires most food premises to post calorie counts on regular menu items. It came into effect at the start of the year. It’s legislation that public health officials look forward to enforcing, as it’s designed to help people make healthy choices. The topic generated discussion at a Hastings Prince Edward Public Health board meeting on Wednesday, March 1, when program managers Roberto Almeida and Jillian Gumbley gave a presentation on healthy menu labelling legislation. Although HPEPH food inspectors aren’t out enforcing the legislation yet, they soon will be, Almeida said. “They’ll have to study hard before they go out, because this is very technical,” he said. “It’s kind of complicated, but we’ll work through it.” The legislation forces food premises with 20 or more menu times to post the calorie counts on regular menu items. This applies, obviously, to restaurants and fast food chains. Most big franchises, including Tim Hortons, are already complying. But, the legislation gets more complicated when it comes to dealing with other businesses, such as grocery stores or food trucks. For instance, Almeida said, a grocery store that sells meat at a deli would not necessarily have to post calorie contents. However, if that deli is selling take out sandwiches it would. There are also exemptions to the rule – made so not to put a financial strain on small businesses that can’t afford to constantly reprint menus. For instance, a food premises that operates for less than 60 days of the calendar year is exempt from the rule. This would free up a
food truck that shows up only at special summer events. Food premises within schools, day care or correctional facilities are also exempt, as they’re already bound by different legislation that requires them to offer healthy choices. The issue got board members talking, with many agreeing that the legislation is a good idea. The board also passed a motion to write to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care to seek more clarity on why schools are exempt from the legislation. Almeida said Public Health staff have already participated in Ministry-led webinars to train staff on how the legislation should be enforced. In the time between now and when staff are ready to enforce the bylaw, citizens can file complaints to the health unit if they see a food premise that’s not complying. Those complaints will be forwarded to Ministry authorities for now. Right now, the health unit and the Ministry are working on education campaigns, to ensure food premise owners and the public understand the legislation. “We, as health units, are supposed to follow up and support that public education campaign however we see fit,” Almeida said. FACTBOX Ontario’s Healthy Menu Choices Act, passed in 2015 and brought into effect at the start of 2017, was born out of concern over overweight and obesity rates. Nearly one-third of Canadian children were overweight or obese in 2009-2011 and about 30 per cent of children were overweight or obese. The Act asks food premises to post the following message by their menus. “Adults and youth (ages 13 and over) need an average of 2,000 calories a day and children (ages 4 to 12) need an average of 1,500 calories a day. However, individual needs may vary. Full details on the legislation is available at https://www.ontario.ca/ laws/regulation/r16050?_ga=1.105 Calories, such as these on menu items at Tim Hortons drive-thru, are on full display for customers to make informed dining choices. 802243.1080976411.1454609642 Chris Malette/Metroland

Rural residents could see 40-50% hydro rate cut: Rinaldi
MPP Lou Rinaldi. John Campbell/Metroland
BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Northumberland-Quinte West – Residents will begin paying 25 per cent less for their hydro this June as the provincial government responds to persistent criticism over the high cost of electricity. The reduction announced last
week includes the eight per cent the government introduced in January when it began issuing rebates for provincial sales tax on hydro bills, but the overall savings will be even larger depending on where you live, MPP Lou Rinaldi said.
“Every household, every small mom-and-pop business, every agricultural account will receive a minimum 25 per cent (reduction),” he said, but those “in rural areas with very low density, which is a good chunk of our neighbourhood ... will see additional
relief – it could be up to 40 to 50 per cent.” The “big difference is in the delivery charge” which his government is “smoothing out” so that it will be “roughly the same” throughout Ontario, Rinaldi said. The Liberal MP, who lives in a home with electric heat in a low density area east of Brighton, said he’s currently paying a delivery charge “probably three times higher than someone who lives in an urban area.” His government is also doubling the amount of relief it provides people with low incomes who need help paying their hydro bills. A single person earning below $22,000, for example, will receive $100 a month, not $50, when the different initiatives take effect. The money to pay for that will come out of general revenues. “We figure social programs should not be subsidized by ratepayers,” Rinaldi said. The government is also extending the length of time it will take to pay off the debt it incurred upgrading the energy system and to meet commitments it made with long-term green energy contracts that are costing it more than the revenue they generate. The repayment schedule will be stretched from 20 years to 30
years and will cost an extra $1.4 billion a year maximum in interest payments. “It’s just like refinancing your mortgage,” Rinaldi said. Hydro bills will be less -- with increases tied to the rate of inflation – “but we are going to pay more in the long run,” he acknowledged. “What we’re saying is why should today’s generation absorb the whole burden of energy supply?” By spreading out the costs over the actual lifespan of the infrastructure “everybody will pay their fair share for the time they are a customer,” Rinaldi said. His government has spent a considerable amount rebuilding the system while shutting down coal-fired power plants to improve air quality in Ontario, which he said made it difficult to keep hydro bills from rising – roughly double what they were a decade ago. “If it was easy it would have been done a long time ago,” said Rinaldi, who intimated the Liberals are not yet done. “This is something that is so important we’re still not finished,” he said. “We’re going to keep on looking for ways to improve the system, improve the rates ... If there are other opportunities we will follow them through whenever that might be.”

Reducing hydro rates seen as “a small step” toward long-term solution
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Water fountains good. Water bottles bad Dear Editor, During a recent visit to the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre, I was most impressed to see the new signs attached to the hydration stations. Excellent! They explain the numerous reasons why we should all be using reusable water bottles rather than the planet-destroying plastic bottles. Each sign contains different information. A digital counter attached to the water station is updated each time someone refills their reusable bottle showing how many plastic bottles have been saved at that particular station. A novel,
but very effective awareness tool. All visitors to the QSWC should make a point of reading the signs. The unnecessary use of single-use plastic water bottles is a huge worldwide problem that must be addressed. The Quinte Chapter of Council of Canadians congratulates the City of Belleville, and in particular the Green Task Force, for taking such positive action in this regard. May this awareness and willingness to act spread across our community. Jennifer Sturgeon Council of Canadians Quinte

BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Trent Hills – Jeff Hamilton, chair of Trent Hills and District Chamber of Commerce and plant manager of Dart Cup in Campbellford, said he’s “pleased” Premier Kathleen Wynne’s government “has finally decided to address” the issue of “spiralling hydro rates.” However, his group and the Ontario Chamber of Commerce will still push for change and insist the government “continue to look at ways to put a permanent cost reduction in place to ensure long-term sustainability,” he said. Re-amortizing Hydro One’s debt over a longer period of time won’t alleviate the concerns of businesses which include hydro rates that remain “a barrier for growth,” Hamilton said. “We need to get to the root causes of why we got to where we are today.” Hydro rates have a “severe effect on our costs” which can’t be passed on entirely to customers in the price of its finished goods, he said. Among the new measures announced last week that will see residential hydro bills cut by 25 per cent this summer was an expansion of the Industrial Conservation Initiative program. “There were special incentives for industry before but the threshold for the amount of usage was quite high,” MPP Lou Rinaldi said. The threshold is being lowered from 1 mW to 500 kW to target small manufacturing and industrial consumers. “The majority of businesses should qualify for some kind of reduction and that’s based on time of use,” as well as “other caveats,” Rinaldi said. Hamilton estimated the hydro bill at Dart’s Campbellford plant has increased by 20 to 30 per cent. There are other places in North America that “make things attractive to do business,” he noted.
“There are no plans at this time for Dart to go anywhere,” having been in the community for more than 30 years, but the reality is that while it “might be able to ... weather the storm, a lot of businesses can’t.” The provincial government “recognized that Ontario has had enough” by reducing hydro rates even further but it “was a small step,” Hamilton said. “We want to see long-term sustainability.” Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan, who’s been a fierce critic of the government’s handling of the Hydro One portfolio, said its latest move “may perhaps be too little too late” as the Liberals prepare for next year’s election. Their motivation was “purely political, not that it wasn’t also the right thing to do,” he said. “If it wasn’t so blatantly clear that Ontarians are pissed right off it never would have happened because this government has been that arrogant ... We have told them time and time again this is not affordable, it’s not reasonable.” Macmillan cited “a list of boondoggles the last decade,” including the decision to sell off 60 per cent of Hydro One to pay down debt and to fund infrastructure projects. “When a corporation starts to sell off its assets off the end is near. What do you do for an encore?” he said, “especially when its a successful revenue generator. Now you’ve lost that income as well.” Rinaldi acknowledged the challenges being faced by companies as well as their “struggles” but he noted “Ontario is still the number one place (in Canada) for foreign investments” and has the lowest industrial and commercial taxes in the country. “When you look at the big picture, things are not all that drastic,” he said, adding: “Can we do better? Absolutely.

Behind the Camera: In front of a bull moose Two of North America’s most renowned outdoor documentary filmmakers and photographers also call Centre Hastings home and will share their latest stories in an upcoming speaker series presentation. On March 23 in Belleville, John and Janet Foster present ‘Behind the Camera: Travels with John and Janet,’ the finale in the Winter Speaker Series hosted by the Hastings Stewardship Council. The filming assignments of the Fosters for CBC, TVOntario, and the Discovery Channel have taken them all over Canada. Through their films and slide shows they continue to share their own passion for Canada’s wild places and the diversity of our wildlife. In the late 1960s, John and
Janet’s passion for canoeing and nature photography began in Algonquin Park, a place still close to their hearts. Canoeing deep into the park allows these explorers to film wildlife of all kinds in their natural habitat. This will be a personal show illustrating the Fosters’ evolution as canoeists and filmmakers. Those who attend the evening presentation will get to see images of the allure of Georgian Bay, Killarney, and the Bruce Peninsula with their stunning landscapes and waterscapes - among the best places in Canada for hiking and canoeing. Share a trip to Nova Scotia to witness spectacular shorebird migrations around the Bay of Fundy, and to the Annapolis Valley for the spectacle of wintering Bald Eagles.
The themes of this show are a love of canoeing and nature photography, and “knowing when to be in the right place, at the right time.” Nature enthusiasts, travelers and photography /film lovers, say organizers, will be fascinated with the professional images and the flow of technical expertise. Behind the Camera: Travels with John and Janet on Thursday, March 23 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Gerry Masterson Community Hall (Thurlow Hall), 516 Harmony Rd. in Belleville. An entrance fee of $5 (or a donation) will help cover costs; children are free. For more information, contact Matt Caruana at 613-391-9034 or info@ hastingsstewardship.ca.

Despite Wynne’s move, hydro situation still a mess says Smith BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville -- The Ontario government has announced plans to reduce residential and small business hydro rates by 17 to 25 per cent, but the move won’t solve the bigger problem of soaring costs and will hurt customers more in the long run, says Prince Edward-Hastings’s Member of Provincial Parliament. “It’s a desperate move by a desperate premiere and a desperate government,” said Todd Smith, who also serves at the Progressive Conservative’s energy critic. In an interview with the Belleville News on Friday, March 3 -- one of dozens he participated in with media across the province following Thursday’s announcement -- Smith urged Ontarians not to be fooled by the news. The Progressive Conserva-
tives have long argued that high hydro rates are a result of years of Liberal mismanagement on the energy file. The party is telling Ontarians that, if elected in June of 2018, the PCs will propose eliminating the Green Energy Act, which they say has awarded too many unnecessary renewable energy hydro contracts. Smith said his party’s in favour of cancelling planned contracts for the future and renegotiating ones that exist. Liberal premiere Kathleen Wynne, whose popularity is plummeting in polls, said the plan involves re-financing a plan to pay for hydro assets that will require future generations to pay more costs. She told reporters “it’s fairer, because it doesn’t ask this generation of hydro customers alone to pay the freight for everyone before and after.” Smith said that solution is ir-
responsible. “Instead of tackling the root cause, they’ve decided to stretch out the cost that electricity customers will have to pay for an extra 10 years. Our kids and our grandkids are going to be paying for the electricity we’re using today.” Because the Liberals have a majority government, the plan does not require support from the PCs or the NDP to pass. Smith said he’s happy that hydro customer who are struggling to pay bills will get some relief, but said “it’s not the fix we need.” He believes the move is solely to appease voter anger, leading up to the election next June, when rising hydro rates are expected to be a major issue. Smith has not presented any statement on how his Tories would provide the so-called fix to which he refers, however.

There will be opportunities for congregational singing on favourite hymns, plus the traditional chants and canticles associated with the service, sung by the guest choir, which, formed in 1891 is now one of the handful of all-male church choirs remaining in North America. Belleville’s own Christ Church enjoyed a strong reputation with its all-male choir for many decades, especially in the 1980s, but that, too, has become a mixed choir. The Latreilles admit the programs they offer are often hard core classical music, but they contend they remain the peak of beauty when it comes to music. Capacity audiences for recent concerts indicate that a large number International of city and area music lovers share their enthusiasm.

The men and boys choir of Christ Church Cathedral, Ottawa, comes to St. Thomas Anglican Church for its March musical offering to the public on Sunday March 19 for a concert performance of the much-loved Anglican Evensong at 4:30 p.m. This series of concerts over the past couple of years or so is an effort by the church’s music team, Matthieu and Francine Latreille to present and encourage good music in the acoustically-rich sanctuary.

The Old Church Theatre at 940 Bonisteel Rd. is celebrating St. Patrick’s Day on Friday, March 17 with a Classic Irish stew, your favourite brew, and the music of the County’s own Celtic trio, Seventh Town. The band features musicians Martin Smit on guitar and vocals, Trisha Elliott on vocals and tin whistle, and Meghan Balogh on fiddle and vocals. Chef Matt James of The Ramblin’ Pit puts his BBQ spin on an Irish Stew and will start serving when doors open at 6:30. The show starts at 7 p.m. An old church is a great place to enjoy some Irish fare and Seventh Town’s traditional and contemporary folk songs, reels, and jigs from Irish, and Canadian traditions. Tickets are $20 to include the supper or $15 if you’ve stuffed yourself beforehand and only have room for the music, which would be a shame indeed, say organizers. Reservations are required so book online now at oldchurch.ca or call (613) 848-1411.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
A history lesson on Catholic school funding Re: Why is there duality in school funding? For the answer to that question the writer needs to study the history of Canada, go back before the BNA, the development of the Catholic education system and the protestant system which followed much later. Canadians tend to overlook the fact that the original inhabitants of this country were the Indians who they had their own beliefs which was neither Catholic nor Protestant. It was a French explorer by the name of Jacques
Cartier who discovered this land in the 1500s. He was followed by a succession of discoverers and most notably by Samuel de Champlain who discovered “New France” in the early 1600s and founded what is now Quebec City. Eventually all this “it’s mine” and no its not “it’s mine” led to the BNA Act which was passed to set the legal ground rules for Canada and divvy up the powers between the provinces and the federal government. Today taxpayers have a choice of either
supporting the public school system or the catholic school system but they don’t support both. The Hasting and Prince Edward District School Board and the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board are supported by a portion of the taxes collected by their respective municipalities which then goes to support either one or the other of those school boards. Something else that tax dollars support are our libraries through the Ontario government’s Ministry of Tourism, Culture and
Sport. From their website “A strong library system is the cornerstone of a strong community. It contributes to education, literacy and life-long learning in Ontario communities. Municipal bylaws create Ontario’s public libraries and public library boards govern them.” I enjoy my local newspaper but I have found the best place to get an answer to a question is at the local library where staff is extremely helpful in locating reference material for me to find an answer to the question. Libraries
also provide access to the Internet and finally there is always Wikipedia. However the present school system may eventually change, as according to the Star apparently “Ontario’s Catholic elementary schools are quietly opening their doors to students of all faiths, blurring the lines even more between the Catholic and public systems and raising questions about the roles — and need — for both.” Mary Culloden Belleville

BY SUE DICKENS
Belleville — Betty Cornelius, founder of CANGRANDS Kinship National Support, has been given the news she is one of 10 recipients of the Women of Worth Award offered annually by L’Oreal Paris. “This award recognizes women who are making an extraordinary difference in the world,” she said. “I am being honoured for my 24 years of volunteer service to kinship families across Canada.” Cornelius’s charity CANGRANDS will receive a $10,000 grant from L’Oréal Paris. “I'm thrilled about this amazing recognition and the grant, which is so helpful for kinship support,” said Cornelius. She and the nine other recipients also have the chance to win another $10,000 with an online voting process. Getting the word out, Cornelius has asked supporters to vote online daily for CANGRANDS at www.womenofworth.ca, a process that continues until 11:59 p.m. on March 6. “I was nominated by my friend Catharine Brazeau-Cornell from Hamilton, a grandmother who is raising a five-year-old and I’ve been helping her,” she commented. Cornelius has also been nominated for Hidden Heroes: Faces of Quinte. “But this is the first time I have won something big,” she said with excitement. “It’s always an honour to be nominated, and
if it gets us a bit of press coverage, all the better because it really helps spread the word about the organization.” Cornelius said if she wins the second $10,000, she would like to host a special camp. “If I had a magic wand I would do a camp where grandparents and grandchildren go to get for a break from their daily life,” she commented. Cornelius did host a camp for 13 years but “then I lost the sponsor,” so there has not been a camp for the past three years. “If I can win another $10,000, then for $20,000 I could look at doing a weekend camp.” Cornelius is also currently looking into setting up a “1-800-warmline,” for telephone calls, which volunteers could take turns answering as she is finding the inquiries and need for support from grandparents growing at a phenomenal rate. In Belleville alone she estimates there are “possibly 3,000 grandparents raising their grandkids ... and we are helping 150.” As for the contest, Cornelius is heading to Toronto this week “on their dime,” for a meet and greet and press coverage and on Wednesday, March 8 the presentation takes place. To contact Betty Cornelius, call 613-3344246 or email: grandma@cangrands.com for more information.

The Good Earth Insurance – a subject that should be top of mind
Dan Clost Gentle Reader, some of you might think that I go on about this a titch too often. I ask you to consider that I view myself as a professional in the horticultural industrynot an expert- and through the simple fact of where my workplace is, I hear and see the news and, yes, the gossip, of our trade. I don’t believe we’ve sunk to the same depth of litigation as our southern
neighbours but the horror stories are out there. So, although this is a gardening column, we can’t always keep stuffing our snoots into fragrant blooms and call that gardening. Not all fragrances are pleasant. It is so easy to get caught up in the visioning that you forget to see some of the practicalities. Many folks, especially those of you who are legitimately capable when it comes to planning out a renovation, take on the mantle of general contractor, and hire various companies to handle the work as necessary. That is all well and good, but did you check with your home insurance provider? Oh, and did you remember to purchase General Liability Insurance and register with the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB)? Do you realize that if you hire ABK Landscaping (an uninsured fictitious company), you are responsible for all of their activities including their work, damages to others, and any
health claims ABK’s employees might file against you? Recently, it was my distinct pleasure to have spent some time as an instructor in the current Horticultural Apprenticeship Course. A portion of the course covered some of the regulations, acts and by-laws by which their landscape businesses must operate. There are reasons for these compliance requirements and all professional companies will be on board with them. The list is more than impressive, it is staggering. One business owner quipped that he needs two trucks at every job site; one for tools and workers and the second transports the paperwork. However, that’s their problem not yours- unless you make it so, however unintentionally. GR, make sure you do your homework before you hire someone to work on your property, in whatever capacity. Here are some considerations taken from the Canada
Mortgage and Housing Corporation Fact Sheet- Hiring A Contractor. You want to find out as much as you can, so ask a lot of questions, such as: How long have you been in business? What work are you, or your subcontractors, licensed to do, e.g., electrical, plumbing? What kind of work do you specialize in? Have you done a similar job before? Will you use your own crew for the work or will you subcontract all or part of the job? How would you handle a specific problem related to this project (e.g., water flow)? How will you deal with the health and energy efficiency aspects of the job?
How and when do you clean up, particularly fine dust? What work schedule will you follow? What kind of warranty do you offer and what does it cover? Do you carry workers’ compensation and liability insurance? Will you provide a written contract? Will you take out all required permits (e.g., building, plumbing, electrical)? You won’t offend reputable firms with questions. If the contractor plans to do the whole job alone, make sure he or she has all the necessary skills and qualifications. Most importantly, be sure you can get along with the contractor. You want a

about the “social cleansing” that took place in an attempt to rid Cambodia of its urban and educated classes and create “a pure, self-sufficient peasant society” where the survivors would live in the countryside and basically work themselves to death. All others were rounded up as “enemies”, imprisoned, tortured, made to confess to made-up crimes, and then executed (about 2 million of them!). I visited the former school that was converted into the Tuol Sleng Prison and used as the main interro-
gation centre of the Khmer Rouge. It’s now kept open as the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, a sobering memorial to this gruesome history. I saw some of the instruments of torture that were used there and the black and white portraits on the walls of many of the former prisoners. I learned how most of the inmates/victims ended up dead and were then trucked to nearby “killing fields” and buried in mass graves. I visited a killing field and a nearby monumental glass stupa, where thousands of human skulls were displayed, and I found this so disturbing and horrifying that I didn’t even want to take photos of this sight to include with this article. I also met one of the few survivors of the Tuol Sleng Prison, Chum Mey, and he now spends much of his time at this genocide museum, telling visitors about the horrors of the past, for he believes that it’s important to remember this civil war. He’s even told his story in a book entitled “Survivor”, and I now have a copy of it. He tells of confessing to a ridiculous series of crimes after being tortured, and he admits that he “was ready to say anything to stop the pain.” He also admits that it was only his skill as a mechanic that kept him alive, for the Khmer Rouge used him to do repairs. However, he now, after all these years, identifies with his torturers rather than condemns them. He says that “I consider them victims like me because they had to follow other people’s orders. How can I say I would have behaved differently? Would I have had the strength to refuse to kill, if the penalty was my own death?” Youk Chhang, the Director of the Documentation Centre of Cambodia, has stated that “a society cannot know itself if it does not have an accurate memory of its own history”. Therefore, it’s very important to preserve and remember the past. I found this historic tour both educational and disturbing – yet anoth-

er example of a common theme that I so often talked about in my literature classes, of “humans’ inhumanity to other humans”. I was also rather shocked at discovering my lack of knowledge about this entire historic event, for most of my remembrance of this time period in Asia was about the Vietnam War, not the details of this horrific event in Cambodia. But even more effective than all of the above, for me, was the personal story that I heard from my guide, Sky, for he recounted his growing up during this horrific time in his country. He was just a youngster when he was separated from his family and had to hide in the jungle. Several of his siblings died during the conflict, including a brother who literally starved to death. Sky himself survived by eating grass “like a cow” - and lots of snakes and insects. He remembers being tortured with fire ants and witnessing the deaths of many children. However, he made it, as he repeated over and over, through that horrible “three years, eight months, and 20 days”, and he was finally able to start school (at the age of 14). He was one of the “lucky” ones. As we rode on our tour bus, it was almost as if Sky needed to tell us his story, and we seemed to be all held spellbound, as if in a trance, as he shared his past with us. Indeed, this personal experience was the most effective. I usually write travel pieces about wonderful places that I’ve visited, and today’s story of torture and death doesn’t fit. However, historically significant destinations are important to many travelers, so I decided to write about this. In fact, today’s article reminds me of the time that I visited a German concentration camp (Dachau) many years ago, for it’s sometimes important to remember and reflect on these past atrocities. As the philosopher, essayist, and novelist George Santayana once stated, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” For More Information: www. vikingrivercruises.com; www.historyplace.com/worldhistory/genocide/ pol-pot.htm Travel and accommodations provided by Viking River Cruises
Westben’s public rehearsal features Joe Callahan Trio Campbellford — The Joe Callahan Trio will be hosting a public rehearsal at the Clock Tower Cultural Centre on Thursday, March 9 as an extension of Westben’s popular monthly song circle. “It will not be a regular song circle, but there will be a chance to ask questions and if time allows, we'll jam with participants,” Callahan told the Trent Hills News. The event begins at 6:30 p.m. “We want to spread the word on this project at the Clock Tower,” he added. Westben’s community engagement coordinator Nancy Coulter noted, “The rehearsal event will offer the opportunity to ask questions, and if time allows, a jam session.” Westben’s monthly song circle is designed for musicians of all types and experience levels who are asked to bring their instrument, voice and favourite songs “to share in a supportive and fun environment.” Callahan, a longtime well known Quinte area musician, has been offering song circles at the Clock Tower Cultural Centre since October 2016. The circles offer a place for people developing their musical abilities in a focused way, where they can choose to play or listen and solicit feedback on their progress from others in the circle. Song circles at the Clock Tower with Callahan are held the second Thursday of the month at 6:30 p.m. and are open to all ages.
The Joe Callahan Trio will be making another appearance at the Clock Tower; this time they will be opening later this month for nationally recognized Canadian blues singer-song writer Rick Fines on March 31 at 8 p.m. It’s all part of the Loyal Blues Fellowship series of concerts called “Blues in Small Places,” which is being held in conjunction with its very popular Blues in the Schools (BITS) program as part of its 10 year anniversary. The Loyal Blues Fellowship Inc. is a not-for profit group of community members that supports the development of the Blues in the Schools program and their objective is to bring the blues to the Quinte area on an ongoing basis. In fact, Fines has been to Kent Public School in the past where he held a workshop with the students. The BITS program has seen musicians come to classes at schools throughout this area not just in Belleville but also in Campbellford, Warkworth, Frankford, Havelock, Madoc, Picton, Trenton, etc. “The workshop at the Clock Tower is the first of its kind at the facility and hopes are that the song circles will grow in attendance and be a regular part of Campbellford’s cultural activities,” said Coulter. For more information, contact Callahan at joecallahan48@gmail. com or call the Westben box office at 705-653-5508. Joe Callahan started playing music professionally at the age of 13
as a singer and drummer covering Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Beatles, and the BeeGees in the mid-sixties and continued for 10 years, while in the process, supporting his education and supplementing his income. Today as a singer-songwriter and guitar player, he performs often but irregularly at events that have social justice underpinnings. He plays regularly with Quinte area musicians at jams he co-hosts with Peggy Voigt and other Loyal Blues Fellowship musicians. He does a limited number of performances a year as a single and once or twice a year with the Loyal Blues Band where fun and improvisation supersede anything suggesting formulaic arrangements.

Passed away on Thursday, February 23, 2017, age 88 years. Kate Cattell of Brighton, Toronto, London (UK), Campbeltown and New York, daughter of the late Donald and Catherine, O’May and wife of the late Leslie Bernard Cattell. Loving mother of Fraser, Christine and Roger Cattell. Greatly missed by her grandchildren, Kyra, Nolan, Colin, Remy, Reilly of whom she was so proud. Kate lived a remarkable life through the austerity of the Depression and the violence of the Blitz; eventually evacuated with her brother from London to live with remote relatives in Scotland. She moved to Canada with her young family in 1959, and developed a tremendous love for her new home. She was always known for her perennial smile and her ability to see the silver lining and lighten anyone’s load. Kate loved a good time and found pleasure in the simplest of moments. Her family and friends miss her unwavering devotion to others, and her warm and generous spirit. Kate left an indelible print on everyone she met. She will never be forgotten and she will always be cherished. A Celebration of Catherine’s Life will be held at a later date by the waters of Lake Ontario. As an expression of sympathy,in lieu of flowers, donations to the Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society, (presquilepointlighthouse.ca/ donation.html), or the Northumberland Community Care Brighton, (commcare. ca), would be appreciated by the family as Kate loved the town of Brighton.

Dancing With Stars moves to Wellington
Williams, centre, gets to reprieve a double clinch with Jennifer Keiver, left and coach “France,” (For the Love of Dance studio) at the news conference for this year’s show. Jack Evans/Metroland
BY JACK EVANS
It was an excited crowd at Belleville’s downtown Capers Friday evening as the lineup for this year’s Dancing With the Stars competition was announced. Volunteer & Information Quinte director Brenda Snider noted that this marks the 10th anniversary of the hugely successful fund raising project, “Our largest fund raiser of the year,” she said, making it of extra significance. She also announced that with construction under way in the Sports and Wellness Centre, this year’s event will be held in the Essroc Centre at Wellington. “We’ve checked out this location and it is excellent for our event,” she said, “and they are so
welcoming.” She also noted that many competitors in former years have re-entered the lists. The winners of last year’s event, Ryan Wiliams and Jennifer Keiver, will open the show, followed by nine competing teams. The intermission will include a performance by the Trenton-based Liz Lougheed-Brown company plus a couple of songs by Jeanette Arsenault. Entries for the competition are based on individual entries, not teams, Snider explained. The organizers pair these up to match interests in dance style and music and more. Each team is assigned an individual coach-trainer, who advises on music, costume and dance type. “Be sure to listen to your trainer,” Snider advised several times. Main news of the evening was the lineup for this year’s competition, to be held Friday, June 9, starting at 7:30 p.m. in the Essroc Centre. They are: Gordana Vranic and Darek Wierzbicki, plus coach Kristie Parks; Cassandra Bonn and Andy Caletti, and coach, Sheri Thompson of the Ireland School of Dance; Lauren Franz-Reid and Chris Crawford with Alicia Sewell, Astounding Heights Dance Academy; Jennie Reilly and Tim Durkin plus Lisa Sinclair; Caroline Grainger and Todd Bennett with “France” (For the Love of Dance;) Meredith Leadbeater and Metroland Media’s Michael Kelly with Caroline Smith; Christine Wilkinson and Richard Floyd, and coach Liz Loughheed-Brown of Dance With Miss Liz; Lisa Vance and Shane Hoskin with Tawny Jackson (Tawny’s School of Dance;) finally Belleville Coun. Kelly McCaw and Brett Davis with Daryl Geesey (A Step Ahead Dance.) Tickets in advance are $20, $25 at the door, with reserved tables at $250 for six persons.
