Lady Lilac to host Victorian Tea at lilac festival By Sue Dickens Warkworth – Lady Lilac will be hostess at the Victorian Tea at the 6th annual Warkworth Lilac Festival and she is inviting everyone to “stop and smell the lilacs.” Opening weekend festivities on May 28 and 29 begin a 30-day showcase of many rare lilac varieties along The Millennium Lilac Trail. Ellie Tweedie, who is the chairperson of the Victorian Tea and Lady in Waiting to Lady Lilac Warkworth, will be there to ensure guests have a good time. The classic Victorian Tea will feature tea or punch, iced oatmeal cookies, cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches and mini Oreo cookie cheesecakes, all served by the Warkworth Girl Guides. A surprise visit by “The White Rabbit” who many may remember from Lewis Carroll‘s book Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, is also expected to add to the fun. This won’t be the first appearance for Lady Lilac who has been seen around the village on several occasions, courtesy of Tweedie, who thought the Victorian Tea inspired by Janice Allen would be just the right setting for her mascot. “Everybody knows who Lady Lilac is through social media,”

commented Tweedie. The Victorian Tea will take place in the gazebo, located near the end of the trail by the soccer field, both days from noon until 3 p.m. “We were looking for an event that would bring people to the trail and to the gazebo. Best hat and gloves are optional but Victorian dress would be delightful,” she said. Guests will be able to enjoy the Celtic Knot, a group of four amateur Celtic harpers from Ottawa and West Quebec who will be performing at the tea. “Since everybody usually goes to Main Street on the festival weekend we want to encourage people to walk the trail to see the lilacs which we anticipate will be in bloom,” she added. The festival will also feature a photo show, Master Gardener on the trail, horticultural vendors, a wood carving and tai chi demonstration and arts and crafts demonstration by Alderville First Nations, quilters from Brighton and the Warkworth Spinners and Weavers. A children’s tea party will be held on Main Street, where youngsters can enjoy decorating cupcakes while Blades of Glory performs. The cost for the Victorian Tea is Ellie Tweedie, chairperson of the Victorian Tea, is Lady in Waiting to Lady Lilac Warkworth, left, and she and her friends are hoping to attract many guests a toonie. to the 6th Annual Warkworth Lilac Festival happening on May 28 and 29.

Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre returns to Tweed

By Melyssa Gloude

The perfect date: dinner, a show and … murder most foul! Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre will be returning for its fourth year in Tweed. This year’s feature, The Butler Did It, is a murder mystery comedy directed by Rikki-Anne McNaught for Quinte Youth Unlimited. The Butler Did It is a murder mystery and a comedy, and the décor will reflect the setting of the play in a large private manor. The evening will begin with a 30-minute pre-show of punch and hors d’ouvres in the “Library,” allowing guests to relax

and mingle. From there, they will move into the «Banquet Hall» for a three-course catered meal and the play. The play itself is about a weekend party on a private island for mystery writers. Miss Maple, the rich hostess of the weekend, plans several incidents to incite the writers’ imaginations, but someone else has a different plan. Comedy ensues as writers try to be detectives, solving a mysterious murder. The interactive dining experience will take place on June 18, at the Land O’Lakes Curling Club in Tweed.

The current exhibit, which runs until May 22, is dedicated to the Percy Portage. The centre will also be reaching out to schools to teach them about heritage; about 50 from Percy Centennial were to pay a visit this week. The centre is open to the public FriRebecca Baptista has been chosen administrator of the Ah! Centre. She has created an award-winning gallery and co-founded a contemporary dance day, Saturday and Sunday from 11 collective where she is the choreographer. Her resume also includes working several years in corporate executive administrative support. Photo by John a.m. to 4 p.m. (Victoria Day as well). Baptista praised the work being done Campbell

by the creative committee, chaired by Dimitri Papatheodorou, in curating and booking exhibits. “It‘s a really big year for us,” Papatheodorou said, because the Trillium grant will enable the centre to grow “in a big way.” Its “agenda is diverse,” embracing arts, history, and education, for the purpose of “augmenting the culture” of Warkworth and Trent Hills, as well as generating “additional interest” in the village. “We value the entire municipality and think that we have something to offer everyone,” he said.

Can the Flint Firebirds’ fiery owner help bring OHL back to Belleville?

Unravelling the Brazil impeachment mess Q: What’s the difference between the coup that overthrew the elected government in Thailand in 2014 and the coup that has now removed the elected government in Brazil? A: The coup-makers in Thailand wore uniforms. SenGwynne Dyer ateThehasBrazilian just voted 55 to 22 to impeach President Dilma Rousseff. She will be suspended for the next 180 days while the same body tries her on the charge of understating the size of the budget deficit before the last election. If two-thirds of the senators find her guilty, she will be permanently removed from office. Since they have just voted to impeach her by a bigger majority than that, we may take it for granted that she is a goner. Two justifications have been offered for this unseating of an elected president, but both of them are pretty flimsy. The first is the legal justification, which is that Rousseff’s government tweaked the accounts a bit to make Brazil’s financial situation look less bad before the last election in 2014. She did, but which elected government anywhere does not try to put the best face on its figures? Anyway, nobody believes that this is the real reason for her removal from power. The broader political justification is that she has made a mess of the economy. The economy certainly is in a terrible mess; in each of the last two years it has shrunk by four per cent, one-tenth of the population is unemployed, and inflation is exploding, but every big commodity-exporting country has been in the same mess since the global financial crash of 2008. The demand for their exports simply collapsed. Rousseff didn’t create this crisis, but inevitably she gets the blame for it. That, rather than some obscure legal issue, is why nearly twothirds of Brazilians think she should be impeached. But while she might have done better at managing the crisis, in a democracy political questions like this are normally settled by elections, not by impeachment. The 55 senators who voted to impeach her all know that, but they couldn’t resist the temptation to take her down. Which brings us to the

real motive behind all this, and the worrisome comparison with Thailand, where the generals took over in 2014. The Thais, like the Brazilians, evicted their military rulers from power in the 1980s by nonviolent political action. As is bound to happen in a democracy, both countries then developed powerful political movements that demanded a redistribution of wealth in favour of the impoverished half of the population. And in both countries the prosperous urban middle classes mobilised against this threat. The hopes of the Thai poor were focussed on Thaksin Shinawatra (prime minister 20012006) and later, after the military forced him into exile, his sister Yingluck Shinawatra (prime minister 2011-2014). In Brazil the leftwing leader was Luiz Inácio “Lula” da Silva of the Workers’ Party (president 2002-2010), and subsequently his close ally Dilma Rousseff (president 2010-2016). In Thailand the struggle between the rural and urban poor (the yellow shirts) and the defenders of the economic status quo (the red shirts) descended into the streets early, and had got quite bloody by the time the generals seized power in 2014. They intervened in favour of the red shirts, of course, but they seem determined to hold on to power themselves for the forseeable future. Brazil’s politics have been less violent and the military have not intervened (yet), but it is just as much a class struggle, made more intractable by the fact that in Brazil social class is colour-coded. The white half of the population is mostly prosperous, the “pardo” (mixed-race) and black half mostly poor. Nobody will admit that this crisis is about ending government subsidies for the poor, but the crowds demonstrating against Rousseff’s government have been almost entirely white. So is the cabinet sworn in by the new interim president, Michel Temer. But Temer is going to have a very hard time running the country. Outraged Workers’ Party supporters are already being radicalised by the “coup” that has driven Dilma Rousseff from power and the struggle is moving into the streets. Mass demonstrations and barricades are now a common sight, and the protesters will find it hard to resist disrupting the Olympic Games that start in Rio de Janeiro in early August. Which may provide the excuse for the Brazilian right to welcome the military back into power.

Editorial - Stephen Petrick The Trenton Golden Hawks are in pursuit of the RBC Cup this week, and after the tournament maybe the next thing a hockey fan around here should hope for is another Rolf Nilsen meltdown. Nilsen is the disgraced owner of the Ontario Hockey League’s Flint Firebirds, a franchise that was relocated a year ago from the fellow Michigan city of Plymouth. Nilsen created hockey headlines last November when he fired his coaching staff, apparently over the ice time his son was getting. Hakon Nilsen was a defenceman on the Firebirds and his plus-minus raking for the season of -29, suggests he wasn’t a good one. The coaching staff was hired back hours later, when every player – including Hakon – handed in their jerseys, refusing to play for such a bone-headed owner. Nilson wasn’t done with shenanigans there, however. He fired his staff again in February, despite protests from players. In April, OHL Commissioner David Branch, aware that loose cannon owners aren’t suitable for junior hockey, suspended Nilsen for five years and fined him for more than $250,000. The sanctions followed an investigation that revealed the owner had violated an agreement he signed by the OHL and acted in ways that was contrary to the best interest of players and league. What does this have to do with our region? Well, more than a few people in OHL circles have suggested the league would be wise to get rid of Nilsen once and for all and re-locate the Firebirds to a traditional OHL city like Belleville. The Yardmen Arena has been without a chief tenant since the Belleville Bulls were sold and relocated to Hamilton last spring; a move that ended more than 30 years of OHL hockey in the Friendly City. Nilsen owns the arena the Firebirds play in and needs a team there, so he’s not likely to give up on the OHL easily. But, if we’re lucky,

maybe he’ll blow a fuse again, say nuts to the OHL, and tempt Branch and his board of owners to come back here. I suggest this under the assumption that the Binghamton Senators of the American Hockey League are not coming to Belleville any time soon. That idea got the Twittesphere talking recently when it was presented by Ottawa Sun sportswriter Bruce Garrioch. He wrote that the Ottawa Senators, while not unhappy in Binghamton, were exploring bringing their farm team to Belleville. This way players would be geographically closer to the big club and it would help the Senators strengthen their brand in Eastern Ontario. Yet, days later Binghamton Senators officials told media they’re not going anywhere and were in fact working on a new long-term agreement with the Sens. A possible Belleville move is an interesting theory and – from what we know – the City of Belleville is in serious negotiations with at least one party considering leasing the Yardmen Arena. But AHL teams travel much further distances than OHL teams to play opponents and it’s hard to imagine a new hockey owner coming to town that would feel comfortable paying for a team’s airline tickets – not to mention salaries – with revenue from no more than 3,300 tickets per game. Other professional leagues may be considering Belleville, such as the East Coast Hockey League or the Federal Hockey League, but they would face the same problem. There’s optimism in Belleville that quality hockey will soon return to Belleville – and council’s recent decision to hire an architect to produce drawings on how the arena can be renovated – is fuelling belief that a deal is in the works. But the city’s best bet for long-term hockey success is the return of the OHL.

Havelock celebrates with superb showcase By Bill Freeman Havelock – A good chunk of regional traffic ended up in Havelock Saturday for the ninth edition of the superb Celebrate Havelock trade fair and community showcase. Over 1,000 people visited the community centre and its adjacent grounds, soaking in the atmosphere and talking with some of the 70 vendors that had displays inside and outside. There was also 74 door prizes valued at just under $11,000. They could also enjoy entertainment in the Eastlink Experience tent, a big new addition to the showcase that was made possible by sponsorship support from Eastlink. The Celebrate Havelock committee has talked about having a large tent on the grounds in the past, and was able to do it because of expanded corporate support. “I think we have a really good thing going here,” says Celebrate Havelock committee chair Jim Martin. Martin has been part of the committee since day one, succeeding Elmer Buchanan as chair in January. Martin says the committee owes a great deal to Buchanan who remains an active part of the committee. It

also owes much to the Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen and its staff, particularly economic development officer Brian Grattan. “The township plays a big part in it and a lot of people don’t realize that. It is a township showcase,” he said. “It just keeps getting a whole lot better each year and a little different. We have heard from the first year to now about how professional it is. The building is full and all the booths are sold out.” Members of the Norwood District High guitar club, The Next Generation Seaboyer Band, Melissa Payne and the Dean James Band rocked the Eastlink Experience stage while the Havelock Jammers and Kitchen Kuties performed in the Lions Community Hall. There were additional vendors and activity areas outside. “It’s getting bigger and hopefully we get the flow right,” said Martin. “My thing is to go around and talk to all the vendors. It would be nice to get some new members to help for next year.” Martin says the committee will start to think about something special for their 10th anniversary. “There’s a system in place and Cailey Cosby, 11, looks like a future firefighter as she handles the hose at the Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Fire Department’s display at the ninth annual we’re building on that.” Celebrate Havelock trade fair and community showcase Saturday.

Fire Chief Urges Diligence from Farmers and Agricultural Property Owners Municipality of Trent Hills

A number of recent barn fires in Ontario have resulted in significant loss of property, including livestock. The emotional and financial impact of a barn fire can be devastating to the owner, the community and the emergency personnel who respond to the incident. The Trent Hills Fire Department reminds property owners that most farm buildings are not regulated under the Ontario Fire Code and as such, local fire services have limited responsibilities with respect to inspections and code enforcement on these properties. Fire Chief Tim Blake stresses that fire safety is the owner/operator’s responsibility. “There are a number of things that property owners can do to help prevent fires and reduce the risk of fire spreading if one starts.” says chief Tim Blake. The following proactive steps can easily be taken to help reduce the risk of fire on farm properties: • Prohibit smoking in and around farm buildings; • Ensure electrical installations and appliances are kept clean and in good working order: ensure all electrical work is performed by licensed contractors; • Discontinue the use of extension cords and unsafe wiring; • Perform welding and cutting operations only in areas that are free of combustible materials; • Store and handle hazardous products according to manufacturers’ recommendations and applicable regulations: mix fertilizers and chemicals carefully in well-ventilated areas, and • Provide and maintain a clear unobstructed laneway or yard area to each building and access to water supplies that might be required for firefighting. For additional details on how to mitigate the risk of fire on farm properties, a free publication entitled Reducing the Risk of Fire on Your Farm is available for download from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs website at www.omafra.gov.on.ca. This document includes tips on fire prevention and preventative maintenance and provides a checklist to assess fire risks in farm buildings. Owners and operators of farms and agricultural business properties with further concerns about fire safety should contact the Trent Hills Fire Department to discuss options to identify and reduce fire risks. For more information, contact: Municipality of Trent Hills Fire Prevention Committee

Prescription for Better Health:

Havelock rallies around Parker’s family By Bill Freeman

Breastfeeding Breastfeeding is the gold standard of infant nutrition for the first 6 months of life. This means that infants should be fed only breastmilk and no other liquids or solids until they are 6 months of age. At 6 months, solid foods may be introduced but breastfeeding should still continue until the child is at least 2 years of age. This is because breastmilk continues to be an important contributor of nutritional, emotional and immunological development for the child. Breastfeeding has many benefits for both the mom and baby. It has been proven that breastfed infants have decreased incidence and severity of several medical conditions including diarrhea, bacterial meningitis, bacteremia, otitis media (middle ear infections), respiratory tract infections, and urinary tract infections. Moms who breastfeed have decreased postpartum bleeding, a more rapid return of pre-pregnancy weight and uterus size, a decreased risk of ovarian and breast cancer, and they have less risk of osteoporosis and fractures later in life. Breastfeeding provides not only nutrition but also comfort for the baby. Babies should be breastfed every 2 to 3 hours or 8 to 12 times per 24 hours. Healthy, breastfed babies require no extra water as long as breastfeeding is readily available to the baby. Nipple tenderness is a common complaint of breastfeeding moms and is normal during the early days of breastfeeding. Nipple pain, however, is not normal. The most common cause of nipple pain is improper latch. If you are experiencing nipple pain while breastfeeding, see a breastfeeding expert to check your baby’s latch and position.

Havelock – “The world could use a lot more Parkers,” Jennifer Fulford said, holding back emotions during a memorable community dinner at the Havelock Legion to help her family raise funds to build an accessible bathroom area for their four-year-old son. The dinner hosted by the RCL Branch 389 Ladies Auxiliary drew a full house with games for children and a silent auction. “This is an amazing community to live in and we’re very blessed to be here. I picked a great town,” Jennifer said. The family has roots in Havelock and feels right at home. Parker was born at 23 weeks following an emergency airlift to Mount Sinai Hospital. He weighed 630 grams or one

pound, three ounces and was transferred to Sick Kids Hospital with the odds against him. Shortly after birth, he suffered a stroke and his lungs collapsed; he’s near-sighted and deaf and has cerebral palsy. He was in the hospital for 168 days and Jennifer had to wait one month before she could hold her son who’d fought so hard against so much. Parker and his mother, father and brother moved to Havelock in November from Peterborough and need to install a fully accessible shower-bathing area for Parker in their McLean Avenue home. The estimated cost is around $10,000 and Jennifer is confident they’ll be able to have it in place by September thanks to the outpouring of support. “We’re over halfway there and we’ll be able to have him

Human milk contains small amounts of vitamin D but not enough to prevent rickets. Vitamin D is naturally obtained from sunlight but sunscreen, clothing and hats hinder this. Because of this, it is recommended that breastfed infants receive 400 units of vitamin D supplementation per day. Vitamin D drops are available at pharmacies and can be placed on the breast prior to breastfeeding to ensure the baby receives the required amount of vitamin D daily.

It’s been a long journey for the family. “It’s been a long time coming and we’re finally getting to where we need to be and it feels really good,” Jennifer says. “Parker, he teaches everybody just to be happy and

look at everything with just that kind of outlook.” Jennifer’s mother Barb Harris was “overwhelmed” by the support. “This is a dream,” she said. “Havelock has been the best thing for this family. Parker is a blessing to this world. All you have to do is look at that little boy’s face and it brightens your day. He can make all your problems feel like nothing.”

Central Hastings Trent Hills News - Thursday, May 19, 2016

By Terry McNamee Stirling - At its meeting on May 10, the StirlingRawdon Planning Committee approved a zoning amendment application on a section of land next to the commercial plaza on East Front Street in Stirling. The land is owned by the Municipality of Stirling-Rawdon. The property, located at 96-100 East Front St., is a little over one acre in size. It is currently zoned Community Facility (CF) and, once approved by Council, it will be rezoned Urban Commercial (UC) to permit future business development. At the meeting, Councillor Bob Mullins, coowner of the adjoining plaza, said the only possible issue would have been drainage. “But when we built the plaza, we allowed for that,” he said. Meeting as the Committee of Adjustment, planning members also approved an application from Travis Donaldson for a minor variance to permit the construction of an accessory building that exceeds the permitted height. The Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw states a maximum height

of 14.8 feet (4.5 metres) for accessory buildings. The application was for permission to construct a building that will be 24 feet (7.3 metres) high. Travis said the reason for the request was to allow a large enough door to allow him to bring an RV into the building.

responsibility, paying 30 per cent of costs, and have maintained a $40,000 yearly contribution. Management of the arena was taken over by Centre Hastings in 2012, when Madoc Township chose to dissolve the shared board of management. In April of 2013, an amendment to the agreement, to no longer have a set percentage contribution, was approved with Centre Hastings. Township council claims their solicitor confirms this decision is binding. Mayor Deline said, in current negotiations, Madoc Township has not made a financial commitment, something he hopes they will do to increase financial support. In their budget deliberations, Madoc Township Council pointed out, management of the arena has averaged at $288,000

a year since 2012, a cost they feel is unreasonable, and not affordable for taxpayers if they pay 30 or 40 per cent of all costs. Since 2012, the township has contributed over $200,000. Reeve Bob Sager says council’s recommendation to close the arena is based on a review of costs for other municipal arenas. “Our recommendation is meant to get people to open their eyes to the ongoing increase in operating costs for this arena,” he concluded. Township council believes they cannot continue supporting it if costs continue to rise, and they have to pay on a percentage basis. Centre Hastings is demanding $187,000 for retroactive percentage payments from 2013 to 2015.

Madoc Township Council has advised Centre Hastings since 2012, that arena costs are too high and has suggested cost-cutting measures “including re-purposing or closing the facility,” noting close proximity to neighbouring arenas where residents may well be better served for ice sports. A motion was passed with this recommendation, to be effective immediately, so those seeking ice time can make alternative arrangements for the 2016-17 season. The overall budget for 2016 is just under $2.5 million.

taxes total $919,202, with a 3.7 per cent increase from the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund Council will again contribute $40,000 to the arena, though they suggest continuing to finance the arena at an average annual cost of $288,000, over one million dollars since 2012, is unreasonable. Comparatively, Marmora and Lake paid out $121,000 in 2014, StirlingRawdon $127,350, with four municipalities paying $31,850 each. Tweed arena costs were $83,000 in 2013 and $61,000 in 2014.

Campellford Legion Ladies Auxiliary celebrates 65th anniversary By Sue Dickens Campbellford – The 65th anniversary celebrations of the Ladies Auxiliary to the Campbellford Legion, Branch 103, held Sunday, included a tribute to the three remaining charter members, who were honoured for their dedication. Dolly Mills, Irene Torrance and Marg Ingram (Silver Cross Lady) were seated at the head table alongside special guests and dignitaries. About 40 attended the event which included a special dinner. Legion Branch 103 President Reg Gordon welcomed everyone to the celebration. For Irene Torrance, who at the young age of 90 years, has been a member since the auxiliary was formed in May 1951, the dinner was a chance to socialize with her comrades and to cel-

ebrate. “I haven’t been out much to our meetings you know,” she said. Her late husband Jack was a veteran. “I joined the auxiliary because somebody said they were forming one and I wanted to be a part of it. We’re here to support the veterans,” she said. The 65th celebration itself is a milestone, because when the auxiliary was celebrating its 60th, there were reports then the organization was thinking of disbanding. At its peak, membership reached 135 dedicated individuals, but has dwindled to about a dozen now. In spite of that, the auxiliary here remains active and continues to support the Legion and remain involved. Dolly has been Zone sports officer and Regional Sports officer for a number of years, then Deputy Zone Com-

mander and Zone Commander. She is the one who organized the 65th celebration. Several Zone F2 Legion dignitaries from Provincial Command were among the guests who attended. Political officials included MP Northumberland–Peterborough South Kim Rudd who said, “The Ladies Auxiliary is such an important organization that helps to remind us and keep alive if you will the purpose of the Legion which is to remember.” Trent Hills Deputy Mayor Bob Crate spoke of his mother, who had been a “very proud member of the Ladies Auxiliary [Branch 106 Hastings] which sadly no longer exists. We truly to do miss it.

Ridin’ easy for brain injury benefit By Diane Sherman Eldorado - Ralph Kitchen was an avid fan of motorcycles, building them, riding them and supporting those who shared the same passion. He embraced his position as regional director of the Harley Owners Group (HOG), and loved long rides over country roads. He suffered a severe brain injury in a collision with a deer in June of 2009. The Brain Injury Association Quinte District (BIAQD) supported Ralph and his family until his death in December, 2013. His wife Margriet and children, Sheryll, Byron and Gerrit, held the first Ralph Kitchen Memorial Ride the following year. May 15, motorcyclists joined for the third official benefit ride supporting BIAQD and promoting safe driving and brain injury awareness. A gathering of 15 riders from Peterborough, Ivanhoe, Belleville, Madoc and Hoard’s Station, gathered at the Madoc Township Recreation Centre in spite of cold rainy weather.

In the pack was Vern Wilson, who took over the role of regional director for HOG when Ralph could not return. The two, first met in Peterborough, and spent a lot of time on the road going to rallies or just cruising. He spoke of Kitchen’s dedication to HOG and skill with motorcycles, and his willingness to share. “It has been a real loss to the membership. We’re all here to support the family and the brain injury group.” The family say they will host the event a little later next year hoping for better weather, and once again host it in the recreation centre with food and vendors, including OPP Safe Riding representatives. Raffle tickets were sold, memories shared and new ones made. Jennifer Sharp of BIAQD reported the rally raised close to $800. “We are ecstatic with this event and look forward to many more. It’s just amazing!” Motorcycle enthusiasts from Belleville, Peterborough, Ivanhoe, Madoc, and Hoard’s Station faced rain and cold weather to ride for the Brain Injury Association, May 15.

Marmora #7 Classic Cruiser Night is back By Margriet Kitchen Marmora – The weather has been kind on the first two Thursdays of May for the Marmora #7 Classic Cruisers car night, now in its ninth year. Organizers were pleased with about 30 cars entered the first night and 49 on May 12. Stores and restaurants on Forsythe St. remain open for the evening to give strollers a

chance to shop, as well as enjoy a meal during the event. Each week, live music is featured. Rick Foster, Gord Youmans, Leather and Lace, William “Elvis” Young and Freddy Vette are some of the performers. Volunteers work tirelessly throughout the evening to make sure all runs smoothly, with awards to hand out, prizes to give away, and money to be raised to sup-

port such local causes as the Food for Learning breakfast program at the Marmora schools. New volunteers are needed as the original volunteer group ages. High school students that have to accumulate community hours, can report to the registration table or sound desk each week. For more information, go to www.marmora7classiccruisers.com.

Madoc - It has been nearly three weeks since the Bruce Lee hockey league bash at the Kiwanis Club in Madoc and people are still talking about it. It took awhile to tally up proceeds from the 25th anniversary celebration. Donations were still trickling in two weeks later. Whenever the topic of the league arose in conversation around town, there was someone who played with the league or applauded the benefits their child gained from being a part of it. When Harold and Karen Bailey started the league to make hockey affordable for all young people, they had no idea how many lives they would affect. Canada’s heavyweight boxing champ, Dillon Carmen was one of those young ones. He was a guest at the big bash April 16.

Carmen said his time in Madoc was formative. Being raised by a single mother, he praised Madoc and the Bruce Lee league for helping shape his character, and to this day calls the little village home. A gentle giant of a man out of the ring, he was taken aback and brought to tears when Mayor Tom Deline revealed a sign commemorating his success. The Baileys themselves were deeply touched. Tears fell as Kiwanis President Jim Denison and the mayor praised them for their impact on the lives of so many community members. Declarations of their positive impact on youth over the years were presented by both federal MP Mike Bossio and provincial MPP Todd Smith, who each noted the importance of giving all youth equal opportunity. The benefit was the first in nearly 10 years for the league, which had 177 children enrolled this past season. Kiwanis members say it was the biggest, most well-attended event they have hosted for quite some time. “There wasn’t an empty seat in the house,” Denison said. Karen Bailey said they are grateful for the generosity of all who attended. “All I can say is the outcome exceeded our expectations. Thanks to everyone, we will be back next year.”

Havelock gymnasts find their groove

By Bill Freeman

Havelock – Havelock-Belmont Public School’s gymnasts showed off their slick moves at the big elementary school gymnastics meet in Peterborough. The 21-strong team (19 girls and two boys) joined 430 other students from 21 teams at the annual showcase at Peterborough’s Sport and Wellness Centre returning home with two platinum awards and multiple diamond honours. “They did awesome,” first year coach Erin Cooper said of the team which competed in both gymnastics and dance categories. The high-energy dance team earned a diamond award. The athletes began training in March spending close to two hours a day honing their individual routines on the floor and as a dance unit. “There was a lot of effort and co-operation to organize a dance with 21 students,” said Cooper. “They were very dedicated,” added cocoach Jill Taylor who got into gymnastics as a youth and has kept up her love of the sport. ‘It stays with you. It’s a lot fun,” Taylor

said. “Gymnastics is a great foundation for all kinds of skills in many different sports; there’s strength, flexibility, balance and core muscle work.” “It’s pretty cool, just an overall fun cool experience,” said Grade 6 student Brianne VanAllen who started the sport in Grade 4. “It’s nice to see what others can do.” “I like it because you can show off your talent,” said Jorja Koncovy, also in Grade 6. “I like that you gain flexibility and you’re able to improve,” added Grade 6 student Kalista Knight. “(The competition) was a little nerve-racking at first but once you got into it is was a lot of fun.” “It’s a lot of fun and you get to cooperate with a lot of different people,” said Grade 6 student Lexus Lowe. “You learn new tricks by other people showing you how.” “I like that you can improve a lot and there are so many different tricks that you can keep going,” said Grade 7 student Chloe Cooper. Receiving diamond awards were Chloe Cooper and Grade 4 student Kaylee MiMembers of the Havelock Belmont Public School gymnastics team strike a pose. Photo by Bill Freeman chalik.

Getting dirty at Marmora Curling Club’s third annual 4x4 Poker Run By Margriet Kitchen Marmora – On May 7, well over 100 entries participated in the Marmora Curling Club’s annual poker run north of Marmora.

Starting at the Marmora fairgrounds, mud bogs were the predominant obstacle. Some riders managed to work around the bogs, while others dared to run through the mud, water and rocks. Riders returned to the

starting point to enjoy a barbeque and refreshments. Top hand went to Kelly Reid of Stirling, second to Walter Neal of Marmora and third was won by Vern Apars from Campbellford.

Fresh for All returns to Quinte for second year, encourages produce donations By Stephen Petrick Belleville – Hey let’s share. That’s the slogan for Fresh for All, an initiative supported by several local organizations to help encourage food donations during the growing season. The campaign, back for a second year, asks people to grow an extra row or two in their garden for donations, or donate fresh store-bought produce. The website, freshforall.ca, lists 27 Quinte-are organizations that accept donations of food for programs that feed those in need Among them is the Salvation Army,

Gleaners Food Bank and several churches in the Hastings-Prince Edward region. Community leaders behind the program gathered at the Belleville Salvation Amy’s Community Services building on Monday, May 16 to announce the return of the program. The Salvation Army was a fitting place to celebrate the new year, as workers there said donations of produce has gone up greatly of late, likely thanks to the promotion of Fresh for All in its inaugural year. Those donations were needed, they said, as the number of people accessing its services, which include its food bank and Warm Room meal program,

are on the rise. Volunteer co-ordinator Brenda Post said the number of meals the Salvation Army has served over the past year is up 20 per cent from the previous year. “We had 138 people here for lunch last Friday (May 13),” she said. “That’s high for this time of year.” However, donations of produce make a big difference in helping the Salvation Army meet that need. It allows clients to not just eat, but eat healthy, said Community and Family Services Director Abby Mills, pointing out that not all clients have the means to access minerals and vitamins and, as a result, are at risk of

being in poor health. “A lot of fresh produce came in that we would freeze, serve or give out to food bank clients,” she said. Steve Van de Hoef, who co-chairs the Fresh for All campaign with Cherie Hardie, said he hopes the initiative will open people’s minds to the fact that food programs need donations of all kinds of foods, not just the typical canned goods. Van de Hoef also explained that Fresh for All is a “mostly behind the scenes operation.” The groups involved work to market the idea, but after that it’s difficult to track how well the public embraces it. No statistics are readily available

on how many donations of food were made as a result of Fresh for All’s promotion, but, from anecdotes, the two co-chairs believe last year was a success. This year they hope to raise awareness even more of the need to donate to food programs. “There’s no number goal (when it comes to donations),” Hardie said. “It’s about raising awareness.” Salvation Amy staff also reminded that it’s easy for anyone to donate to a food organizations, such as theirs. “There’s no need for waste,” reminded Post. “(Donors) don’t even need to wash the vegetables. They can bring them to us and we’ll take care of the rest.”

Dr. Brian Ho

• Sealants are painted on the top of the back teeth and harden to form a shield over the tooth

• Sealants can last up to 5 – 10 years or longer if teeth are properly cared for.

Why should my child How do dental sealants prevent cavities? get sealants? • As the back teeth grow, pits and grooves form on the top of the teeth. Food and bacteria get caught in the grooves and cause the teeth to get cavities

• Dental sealants fill the pits and grooves on the teeth.The teeth are easier to keep clean because food is brushed away easier with a toothbrush.

• Brushing teeth does not remove all the food and bacteria stuck in the grooves

Folks, I’m just a titch fuzzy on a few minor details in terms of the Horticultural Apprenticeship Pilot Program for Eastern Ontario. As a result, the followup column to Green Collar Trades will be held back for a week. The good news is you, Gentle Reader, have a bit more time to let potential employers and apprentices know to pick up next week’s newspaper. We do contact as many industry people as we can through various trade associations, but not every business is a member so any help you can give us will be very much appreciated.

• Usually a sealant costs less than filling a tooth • Dental sealants fill in that has a cavity. Most companies the grooves and help the insurance cover sealants teeth stay clean

The Good Earth: Unskilled, unsafe, fly-by-nighters are as much a danger to the homeowner, as they are to the industry and to themselves; even more so to the young people they hire and “train”. So let’s get the word out about the hort apprenticeship program, and we’ll build the workforce with youth. However, for this week, we’ll slip back into the garden for a bit of tune-up. I know you experienced gardeners, meaning older people like me, have not gone full out with planting yet, because you know there is a bit of cool still to come. At the time of writing this, the forecast is for possible flurries in the northern catchment. So what kind of tune-up might we be discussing, GR? The lawnmowers have had their first workout and the tools should all be sharpened, but what have you done about you? How did you feel the day after the euphoria of the first grass cutting had worn off? Lower back twinge? Sore shoulders? The tune-up we’ll be doing is for ourselves. Some might call this exercise; I prefer to think of it as taking roll call. For each stretch I do, there is some protesting body part calling out to stop. I generally hear from all the bits before I’m done. The first body part to work out is your b r a i n . W o r k s m a r t e r,

not harder. Plan your work so that it is spread out over a reasonable amount of time, none of “do the whole estate on the May two-four weekend” attitude. In fact, a good gardener has a pretty good work schedule laid out that matches the needs of the plants. It tends to spread itself out over the year with very few onerous days pencilled in. If you do the same, GR, you’ll find that your daily work is manageable, the work you do is timely for the plants themselves, and you will have time to enjoy both the physicals task and the subsequent rewards. However, no matter how you approach it, you will have to engage in physical activity. One of the best fitness exercises in terms of gentleness and overall benefit is walking. Simply get the body moving around the block, peeking into the backyards of your neighbourhood. If your knees are creaking whilst upright, they’re going to be singing quite the sorry song when you get down to plant a row of veggies. I’m not qualified to tell you exactly what stretches to do and how to do them, but I am experienced enough to tell to do them. I know from experience, that gentle movements give better results than bouncing to force a reach. I know that twisting the torso is one way to keep from throwing out your back just reaching behind you for a tool. That one was from experience too. I know that you can figure out which bits to stretch out, just by going through the motions of the actual work. I also know that the need for these exercises increases as the years add up. As an aside, I have also discovered, contrary to those so-called home truths, that I am actually getting taller. I remember, back in the day, I could reach down and touch this good earth without bending a knee but now it is far, far away. Stretch it out and you’ll have an easier time of it in the garden.

Comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable – a workshop on preaching By Brett Mann Belleville -St. Matthew’s United Church in Belleville was the venue for a recent day-long workshop entitled “Shaping Sermons” led by Dr. Pam Holmes. Holmes holds a doctorate degree in systematic theology from the Toronto School of Theology and has taught at the School of Religion at Queen’s University. She will be taking on the responsibilities of pastor at Rednersville-Albury Community United Church this July. Two dozen participants from as far away as Kingston and Peterborough were captivated by lessons Holmes shared on the art and discipline of crafting a sermon and delivering it effectively. “There’s a Russian proverb,” she said to chuckles from the group. “People are the same as donkeys – whoever would hold them must get a good grip on their ears.” Preachers can be divided into three

groups, she observed, those to whom you can’t listen, those to whom you can listen, and those to whom you must listen. Stressing that preaching is a form of communication, Holmes pointed to Marshal McLuhan’s famous dictum that the medium is the message and offered the view that preaching is “truth poured through personality.” Rather than simply delivering sermons, preaching is “the art of making a preacher and delivering that.” A group member observed that the celebrated preacher Billy Graham “preached the same sermon for 40 years and still drew a crowd.” Simplicity, vividness and directness are hallmarks of a good sermon, said Holmes, remarking that Billy Graham once said “I have had to study to become simple.” Seventy-six percent of the Lord’s Prayer is composed of words of one syllable, she noted. Brevity is also important. As times change sermons have become shorter

with the ideal length being about 12 to 15 minutes these days, said Holmes. “The mind cannot assimilate what the seat cannot endure.” Holmes comes from a Pentecostal background and described Pentecostal preaching as more “embodied, intuitive and emotional.” This style of preaching springs from African roots and is more interactive with the congregation. “It appeals to the will and emotions and goes explicitly beyond the rational. It’s not good or bad, just different,” she commented. Non-verbal skills can be as important as speaking ability, said Holmes. Distracting dress, mannerisms or appearance can undercut the preacher’s message. A good preacher will use humour and story telling skills and make eye contact. Honesty, authenticity and transparency are critical. “We should try to live the message ourselves or at least admit it when it’s difficult,” she remarked. Good sermons shape people’s

lives, Holmes observed. The goal is to “waken people’s brains and stir their consciences.” They should be comforting, uplifting, thought-

provoking and provide ‘ah ha!’ moments of insight, but the preacher must ultimately “leave the results with God. You do your best.”

Spot the “jewels of the forest” at Presqu’ile this weekend Brighton – The Friends of Presqu’ile Park say we are finally rounding into a real spring, and with that comes the return of tens of thousands of songbirds and shorebirds as they migrate their way north. They are some of the most beautiful and sought after birds for birdwatchers and Warblers and Whimbrels Weekend at Presqu’ile (May 21-22) hosted by Friends is designed to introduce visitors to these birds and the fine art of bird watching. Both days there will be an ultra-early bird walk for the ultra-keen at 6:30 a.m. from the lighthouse. For those who want to sleep a bit longer they can join knowledgeable staff and volunteers in the lighthouse area at 8 a. m. for a prime warbler hunt. A second walk will take place at 10 a.m. “While early morning is usually the best time to find birds, during migration birds often keep active all day long so we are sure to see something good on all our walks” said park naturalist David Bree. “Warblers are often called the jewels of the forest for their varied and beautiful colours, but they can be a challenge to see. Our experts can help you find and identify some of the 15-plus species likely present in the park this weekend.” There will also be a guided walk starting from

the Owen Point Trail parking lot at 2 p.m. to seek out shorebirds. “Sandpipers and plovers come in all shapes and sizes,” Bree said. “Ten to fifteen species could be present on the beach at one time. We have already seen a half-dozen species including the rare Piping Plover this year.” The highlight for many will be a bird banding demonstration of licensed bird banders Elizabeth Kellogg and Roger Frost at the Owen Point Trail parking lot from 8 a.m. until noon courtesy. Visitors will have an unprecedented chance to see birds up close and to learn how and why birds are banded. This activity is weather dependent for the safety of the birds. The Friends of Presqu’ile will hold their fundraising barbecue both days, starting at 11 a.m. The Lighthouse Centre and Friends’ store will be open 10 a.m. To 4 p.m. Tickets will be sold for a raffle for Bushnell binoculars and a scope/ tripod package. The draw will take place 4 p.m. Sunday. New this year is an optics display with binoculars, camera lens and spotting scopes from Vortex and Tamron, with a chance at discount purchase. The cost of admission is a $14.50 vehicle park entrance fee. For more information call 613-475-4324 ext. Whimbrels are chicken-size shorebirds with an impressive bill that will stop at Presqu’ile for only a few days in May on their 225 or email david.bree@ontario.ca

Dressing Room celebrates 20th anniversary with a charitable twist Prince Edward County There’s one way to throw a 20th birthday party for your business – invite a bunch of customers and pop the bubbly, of course. But, if you’re a Prince Edward County business owner with almost a quarter century in business, you mark the occasion by giving back to the community that made it all possible to remain in business so long. That’s what Lori Foster, owner of The Dressing Room, in Rossmore, did recently in holding a fundraising celebration at the Picton Golf and Country Club. The evening quickly sold out to more than 150 women from throughout the County and Quinte region and on tap were a fashion show, draws and door prizes, gift bags, complimentary hors d’oeuvres and a goal to raise money for Alternatives for Women Prince Edward County. “It is because of you, our loyal customers, friends and family that we are celebrating 20 Years

of Fashion,” said Foster to her clients and friends who supported the evening celebration and fundraiser. “We are truly grateful to work with amazing women who inspire us every day in this wonderful community we live in. Our passion and joy is helping women look and feel beautiful while creating confidence one outfit at a time. Thank you for 20 incredible years! We look forward to making you look and feel great for many years to come.” Attendees were asked to bring items that would be helpful for women utilizing the services of Alternatives for Women – a community organization that provides counseling and 24-hour emergency services for abused women in Prince Edward County. Along with a mountain of ‘gently used clothing’ items and personal care products donated by those attending, the event raised an additional $800 for Alternatives for Women in Prince The models who highlighted fashions at the recent 20th anniversary celebration and Fashion Show for The Dressing Room, of Rossmore, gather for a photo with Edward County. owner Lori Foster, lower right, and assistant Donna Farmer, lower left.

Madoc arena will not be closing By Diane Sherman

Madoc - In a statement issued Friday, May 13, Mayor Tom Deline declared the Municipality of Centre Hastings will not be closing the Madoc Arena and Recreation Centre, as requested by Madoc Township. The two parties are in legal negotiations to determine whether original agreements for shared costs of maintaining the arena are binding. A shared management agreement between the two municipalities has been ongoing since amalgamation in 1998. Prior to that, the agreement was between the Village of Madoc and Madoc Township. The township declined the opportunity to take ownership at amalgamation, instead agreeing to a percentage annual financial responsibility, paying 30 per cent of costs, and maintaining a Spectacular Ingredients Can Take You Anywhere $40,000 yearly contribution. Management of the arena was taken over by Centre Hastings in 2012, when Madoc Township chose to dissolve the Save on fresh ingredients from your local

Fire department to host launch of summer safety campaign By John Campbell

Trent Hills – Trent Hills Fire Department has been chosen to host the launch of this year’s Swing into Summer Safety campaign, organized by the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council. The launch will take place at noon June 14 at the Kinsmen Ball Diamond in Campbellford. The event will include a ball game between Trent Hills firefighters and two local minor softball teams and a grand draw prize of four fieldlevel tickets to a Toronto Blue Jays game will be up for grabs. Four Blue Jays caps will also be offered as prizes. A firefighter challenge will be held as well and a fire safety castle will be set up for children. The fire department, one of five in the province selected to launch the summer safety campaign, is being given $200 for the purchase of refreshments.

shared board of management. In April of 2013, an amendment to the agreement, to no longer have a set percentage contribution, was approved with Centre Hastings. Township council claims their solicitor confirms this decision is binding. Mayor Deline said, in current negotiations, Madoc Township has not made a financial commitment, something he hopes they will do to increase financial support. In their budget deliberations, Madoc Township Council pointed out management of the arena has averaged at $288,000 a year since 2012, a cost they feel is unreasonable, and not affordable for taxpayers if they pay 30 or

“We‘ve got some good events planned [that will be] a lot of fun for the kids,” Fire Chief Tim Blake said, but the they‘ll also get a strong fire safety message, such as the importance of having working smoke alarms. “If you don‘t maintain them

[or] have them, then there are consequences,” he said, citing the tragic deaths of an Ontario family whose smoke alarms had been disconnected. “They have to be on every level and outside your sleeping area,” he said.

40 per cent of all costs. Since 2012, the township has contributed over $200,000. Reeve Bob Sager says council’s recommendation to close the arena is based on a review of costs for other municipal arenas. “Our recommendation is meant to get people to open their eyes to the ongoing increase in operating costs for this arena,” he concluded. Township council believes they cannot continue supporting it if costs continue to rise, and they have to pay on a percentage basis. Centre Hastings is demanding $187,000 for retroactive percentage payments from 2013 to 2015.

The organizing committee for the Second Annual Home Hardware Building Centre Bike Up Northumberland is high spirits as they gear up for the fundraising event in support of Campbellford Memorial Hospital and Northumberland Hills Hospital. Photo submitted

‘Bike Up Northumberland!’ gearing up for its second year Campellford – Details of the second annual “Bike Up Northumberland!” charity cycling ride have been announced for Sat., Sept. 10, in support of two area hospitals. Cyclists are already gearing up to raise money for the Campbellford Memorial (CMH) and Northumberland Hills Hospital (NHH) foundations. Two new co-chairs will take the lead this year and they are: Calvin Newman, president of Newman Oliver & McCarten Insurance Brokers Ltd.

and Randy Albon, a director of the Northumberland Hills Cycling Club. Both men will lead a dedicated team of volunteers on the organizing committee. Both have a keen interest and knowledge of cycling. “Bike Up Northumberland! is truly a county-wide event,” said Newman. “This is going to be a spectacular event, and I’m honoured to be cochairing this year with Randy. Cycling is a great activity for building community spirit and I encourage ev-

eryone to grab their families, friends and their bikes and ride with us in September.” The ride will start at Donogan Park and travel along the scenic waterfront trail with distances ranging from 5 km, 10 km, 25 km, 50 km, and 100 km. People of all ages and abilities are welcome. With a new website and registration system now up and running, participants can register early and take advantage of the early bird fees.

Until July 31, the fee is $50. If registering between July 31 and Sept. 9 the fee will be $60. Registration on the day of event is $75. There is also a special family registration fee of $50 for up to two adults and four children under 16 for the 5 km and 10 km rides only. All registration fees are waived if the participant raises $150 in pledges. All proceeds raised will be distributed equally to both hospital foundations and will be directed towards

surgical scopes. After the race, a free lunch will be available and vendors will be in the community village being set up in Donegan Park. All participants will receive an event shirt and goodie bag. Register online at: www.bikeupnorthumberland.ca or through either foundation office. For more information go to: www.nhhfoundation. ca or www.givetocmh.ca or email Adrienne Barrie at abarrie@nhh.ca.

Put a lid on it for Victoria Day weekend Many Canadians know how much fun activities on wheels, including cycling, in-line skating, scooter riding and skateboarding can be. They are also good ways to get exercise. Hastings Prince Edward Public Health (HPEPH) wants everyone, especially children, to be safe during all wheeled activities. “Most injuries associated with wheeled activities are the result of a fall,” says Cindy Kirkpatrick, a public health nurse with HPEPH. Although broken bones and sprains are the most common injuries associated

with wheeled activities, head injuries are the most serious type of injury. A seemingly minor head injury can permanently change the way a person moves, behaves, and/or thinks.” According to Kirkpatrick, “There is a public perception that helmets may not provide protection. However, helmets have proven effective in preventing head injuries from all types of falls and crashes. In fact, a properly fitted helmet can absorb the force from a crash or fall and decrease the risk of serious head injury by as much as 85 percent. This means that

four out of five head injuries could be prevented if every person who participated in wheeled activities just strapped on a helmet.” “An equally important strategy in preventing childhood injuries associated with wheels involves parents,” says Kirkpatrick. “Parents are a child’s best role models.” This Victoria Day weekend, HPEPH would like parents and caregivers to promote healthy and safe practices during all wheeled activities, including stressing the importance of wearing a helmet and modelling safe behaviours on every ride.

Taylor’s oldest daughter, while a teenager, was overcome by racist attitudes and became “so ashamed to be an Anishinaabe woman” that she dyed her hair blond, wore blue contact lenses and used white makeup, “because she did not want anybody to know that she was First Nations, that’s how embarrassed she was.” “She was suicidal for two-and-ahalf years,” Taylor said. “Can you imagine hating yourself so much because of your history that you want to do away with yourself? There was a huge well of despair in my family.” “What saved her,” Taylor said, was getting a co-op position at Petroglyphs Provincial Park where she “connected with her culture” in listenNimki Osawamik executed a series of deft moves in a hoop dance as part of the assembly that ing to the stories opened the Aboriginal Cultural Celebration ENSS held for high school and public school students. and teachings of Photo by John Campbell elders.

“She’s not ashamed of who she is anymore.” ENSS principal Jeff Kawzenuk opened the half-day celebration by saying “ it is imperative we all have an understanding of the aboriginal culture and aboriginal history.” More than 1.8 million aboriginal people live in Canada and their culture, language and social systems “have shaped” the way this country has developed and they “continue to grow and thrive despite extreme adversity.” Native studies teacher Pam Vanderburg, a Metis, said First Nations people wel-

Red dresses were hung in the school’s courtyard to draw attention to the missing and murdered women.

Al Purdy A-Frame Resident Poet Rob Taylor By Melyssa Gloude “What does the reader want from a poem?... Primarily, I suppose, to be entertained. And that involves tuning in on some emotion or feeling or discovery that is larger and more permanent than he is.” Those words were penned by the late poet, Al Purdy, from “Leonard Cohen: A Personal Look” in ‘Starting from Ameliasburgh.’ The new resident poet in Purdy’s AFrame goes by the name Rob Taylor,

born and raised in Port Moody, BC. A long way from home, Taylor now stays in the A-frame house at the edge of Roblin Lake with his wife and son as part of the A-Frame Residency Program. For a period of three months, writers are offered a time and place to work in a location that is attractive and of historic significance. Taylor was invited to take part in the Tweed Library Writers’ Series by Raymond Brassard, Chairman of the Friends of The Tweed Library. “My connection is that I’m also a Friend of The A Frame -all of our writers and authors that we have in here, we’ve had one

ET YOUR L T ’ N O D EASE L E L C I H VE DOWN. U O Y N I CHA T. BUST OU

that came fro the writers in residence at the A Frame,” says Brassard. “I try to use that connection to find guests for the area.” Brassard says that events such as these give local literary men and women a chance to join in on informative and constructive conversation. “The benefit of this is certainly culture and this library does it very well,” says Brassard. “You can tell by the quality of the questions that people are well-read and cultured and it’s up to us as an organization to do events like these and and to serve that need in the community.” LeaseBusters.com is the largest Rob Taylor’s povehicle lease marketplace in Canada. ems, short stories We’ll unlock you from your vehicle and essays have aplease commitment... save time, peared in more than early termination fees and penalties. fifty journals and anthologies and his poems and stories Call now for a free consultation

have won multiple awards. Taylor spoke of his time spent in the area and how the Al Purdy A-Frame Association have been so accommodating. “I sent in a manuscript almost two and a half years ago. I was actually supposed to come last year but, you know, with the birth of our son, it didn’t see like it was going to work out...” said Taylor. “I was expecting them to say, oh, well, you can never come again! But they’ve been very good as an organization. They told my wife and I that we could wait and bring our son later. Most residences would never take a family.” Although the secluded space of rural Ontario is far from Taylor and his families’ definition of their normal every day life, Taylor says that the experience itself has been incredibly inspirational. “A big impact has just been being in a quiet place. Being close to nature allows for reflection; certainly the warmth and generosity of complete strangers and

having a group of people around that are so warm and supporting,” he says. “You don’t get that in the city.” Though Taylor and his family will be ending their residency at the end of May, the young poet says that he’s not quite ready to say goodbye. “I can’t say goodbye yet -- I’ve been caught so many times thinking that this will be one of the happiest, most peaceful times of my life. I just think, how do I save that, and store that and recreate that,” says Taylor. “So I’m focussing on really being present. When we’re sitting out on the deck and a heron walks by, when my son gets to pet a horse for the first time-- all those little things, just being really alive and aware in those moments has been so inspirational.” Taylors’ poetry anthologies and short stories can be found of his website.

Much interest in tick problem

6tnhual

By Jack Evans

Quinte area residents turned out in impressive numbers for a lecture on the threat of lyme disease being spread by black legged ticks. The lecture Monday evening , held in the Quinte Conservation offices, was from internationally-recognized researcher and scientist, Aptie Sookoo, a public health inspector for 13 years with Hastings and Prince Edward Health and a native of Guyana. Sookoo quipped of his subject: “the tick that ticks us off,” and cautioned that there remains much to learn yet of the debilitating lyme disease the ticks have been causing at increasing rates. Without referring to climate change, he expressed surprise that only in recent months, the ticks have been Aptie Sookoo is at the podium for a lecture on ticks and lyme disease. Photo found, some of them lyme-infected, in by Jack Evans the Bancroft area. Around 30 people attended the meeting and showed strong interest in the displays of tick samples and literature he had on a front table. There was also a lively question and discussion exchange at the end. The speaker reviewed the tick history from egg to larvae to nymph to adult, which ultimately can lay up to 2,000 eggs. Only a small percentage of the insects are actually infected with the disease, which is harbored in their stomachs and takes about 36 hours to move into the blood stream of a victim. If the tick is removed before that time, becoming infected is unlikely. Key spreaders of the ticks are common perching birds, field mice and mammals small to large up to deer and dogs. Cats don’t seem to be a prime target. The ticks are temperature sensitive to strong sunlight and high heat. NEW So they tend to lie on grass, weeds and ! bushes in shady areas where there is vegetation ground cover. He recommended that bird feeders be kept well away from garden areas and stressed the importance of checking pets, children and selves after every incursion into tick territory. There are effective cures for the disease, once it is properly diagnosed, but a timely diagnosis remains a problem as it could take up to months before blood tests can be confirmed. There are also combatants such as tick predators and tickicides. Some of the most effective measures now used in the United States remain to be approved by Health Canada for legal use, he said. Locally, the number one hot spot for infected ticks is Prince Edward Point Wildlife Area at the southeast tip of the county and anywhere within 20 kilometres of that area. But cases .COM have been found in Belleville, Trenton and throughout the area. They could be “any place” in Ontario, he said.

Three charged in $1 million fraud case in Belleville Belleville – Three Belleville residents have been charged in a $1 million fraud case involving a financial institution in the city. The institution has not been named. Charged with theft over $5,000, fraud over $5,000 and money laundering is 46-year-old Cheryl Drumm. George Misuraca, 54, and 52-year-old Allan William Lasher are both charged with fraud over $5,000 and theft over $5,000. Misuraca and Drumm are also charged with breach of trust. Belleville police were contacted by representatives at a local financial institution in October 2015 with a complaint regarding the actions of a

former employee. A seven-month investigation determined that in excess of $1 million was stolen in a period between January 2010 and June 2015. All three were given June 16 court dates. Misuraca is best known in Belleville as a karate instructor, as he owns Misuraca Karate Academy, a business on Highway 62, north of the city. He was also quoted in a Belleville News story from December 2013, in which he said construction on Highway 62 contributed to a decision to close another business he owned, TST Liquidation.

Bay of Quinte’s marketing campaign recognized “Isn’t it Time?” The Bay of Quinte region’s 2015 marketing campaign asked consumers and locals alike to pose this question when it came to discovering our pocket of Ontario as the best place to live, work and play. In May 2016, Bay of Quinte agency of record, the Amherst Islandbased firm Engagers, accepted an ACE (Achieving Communication Excellence) Award from the Canadian Public Relations Society for its work in executing the campaign. Past winners of this award include Weber Shandwick’s campaign for McDonald’s Canada, and APEX Public Relations with WalMart Canada. Bay of Quinte’s “Isn’t it Time?” took a multipronged approach, focusing on the rural, culinary and waterbased assets of the region, combin-

ing tourism marketing with resident attraction strategies targeted at the Greater Toronto Area east market. The campaign, which tied together the efforts of both the Bay of Quinte Tourism and Bay of Quinte Living councils, included direct outreach to more than 200,000 people at trade shows like the Toronto Outdoor Adventure Show, the Roundhouse Winter Craft Beer Festival and the National Home Show, paired with publications like the Globe & Mail and Canadian Real Estate Wealth, and was driven by a 30-second TV commercial that aired on CTV and CTV2 in Winter 2015 to over eight million people. Year over year, the region saw hotel occupancy double during the summer tourism season, as well as a 28 per cent increase in home sales.

Quinte Conservation’s Earth Day rain barrel sale raises almost $2,000 Quinte Conservation launched its first annual rain barrel sale on April 22 to support Earth Day 2016. The organization raised $1,758 for the Adopt An Acre program. Quinte Conservation sold 161 rain barrels and 74 rain barrel accessories. Quinte Conservation Communications Manager, Jennifer May-Anderson says, “we are ecstatic about the success of our first annual rain barrel sale. We raised enough funds to support upcoming projects in 2017 at local conservation areas. We are extremely grateful to all who supported our sale as this organization relies heavily on support from our community.” May-Anderson added, “each year we offer local residents the opportunity to symbolically ‘adopt’ an acre of conservation land to help protect and preserve local green spaces. “For $20 donors receive a tax receipt and an adoption B4

certificate in the name of a loved one, friend, teacher or anyone who is interested in supporting a local environmental cause. People can adopt their acre by visiting or calling the Quinte Conservation office or going online to www.quinteconservation.ca.” Belleville Toyota contributed to the cause by donating $250. The car dealership adopted an acre for each person who test drove a new Prius during the month of April. Quinte Conservation encourages people to participate in the upcoming annual rain barrel sales which will take place every spring. The organization hopes to adopt out 250 acres of land this year. Last year the program raised close to $5,000. Quinte Conservation is a community-based environmental protection agency. It serves 18 municipalities in the watersheds of the Moira, Napanee and Salmon Rivers and Prince Edward County.

It’s also the site of Green Gables, which inspired Lucy Maud Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables Thousand Islands: Our nearest national park is one of Canada’s smallest, and it’s unique because it’s made up of several islands that are only accessible by boat. There are picnic and camping facilities found on several of these islands, but many of us have simply enjoyed this park by taking a Thousand Islands cruise from Kingston or Gananoque for a day. Wapusk: This fascinating park is located just south of Churchill, Manitoba, and it protects one of the world’s major polar bear denning areas; after all, “Wapusk” is the Cree word for “White

Canada has more than 40 awesome national parks, and I’m going to mention 12 of the best in this week’s travel piece. However, if you can wait another year to visit them, you’ll discover that entrance will be FREE next year! The government has announced that this will be a part of our celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday, in 2017. In addition, all these parks will be free for children under the age of 18 starting in 2018, and any adult who becomes a new Canadian citizen will be given a year’s free pass. This is an attempt to get us to explore our own beautiful country and to spend some quality time in our national parks, including the following dozen: Banff: I’ve visited this beautiful park on more than one occasion, and I’d highly recommend checking out Canada’s very first national park. Located in Alberta, on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains, it’s one of our premier destinations. Be sure to check out both resort towns of Banff and Lake Louise, and enjoy the park’s spectacular hiking trails, plentiful wildlife, and eye-popping scenery. Explore both the Trans Canada Highway and the Bow Valley Parkway within this park, and then take the Icefields Parkway, my favourite route, all the way to Jasper. Cape Breton Highlands: About a third of the spectacular Cabot Trail passes through this Nova Scotia park that’s located on Cape Breton Island. This park is renowned for its steep cliffs and deep river canyons, so expect some nailbiting curves on this route. The Acadian village of Cheticamp is located at the western entrance to the park, and the eastern side has the intriguing beaches A view of Banff from the summit of Sulphur Mountain. at Ingonish, on the Atlantic Ocean.

Wood Buffalo: This is Canada’s largest national park, and it stretches into parts of both the Northwest Territories and Alberta. It protects the world’s largest herd of free roaming wood buffalo. I fondly remember, several years ago, passing a sign in the park indicating a “Buffalo Crossing”. Believe it or not, but just as I approached this sign, a herd of buffalo actually began to cross the gravel road, right in front of my vehicle! Now that’s quite a coincidence!
