2 Belleville News - Thursday, January 29, 2015

By Stephen PetrickNews - Belleville - Parking meters in Belleville, Quinte West and Prince Edward County were well fed through December, but when the holiday season wrapped up they were still a tad hungry.

The Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation’s Feed the Meter program raised $25,396.84. The money will support nutrition programs (break-fast, lunch or snack programs) in local schools. It was raised, largely through change dropped in downtown parking meters in December, but also through sponsor donations and community do-nations.

While it’s a sizable amount of mon-ey, it falls short of the campaign goal of $30,000.

DeSnoo said not achieving the cam-paign goal will create some additional challenges for volunteers who run school nutrition programs and constant-ly have to stock shelves with food.

“It certainly poses more challenges,” she said. “[The funds raised go] directly

to purchase food. We haven’t seen any decrease in need in the programs. It’s fascinating and it reflects what’s going on in our communities.

“Although we have declining enroll-ment in schools, the number of meals served in schools continues to go up.”

Last year alone, Food for Learn-ing programs provided 880,512 meals and snacks to students in Hastings and Prince Edward counties.

Despite falling short of the goal, deSnoo said the program still receives strong community support, particularly from municipalities who give up poten-tial parking revenue in their downtown cores every December to support the program.

Belleville’s contribution for 2014 through its parking meters was $7,386.92; Quinte West meters raised $5,922 and Picton meters raised $1,718.92.

The money from each of those com-munities will go directly to programs in those communities.

Feed the Meter tops $25,000

Belleville Mayor Taso Christopher presented a cheque from the City of Belleville in the amount of $7,386.92 to Maribeth deSnoo, Executive Director (second from right) and Kellie Brace (centre) of the Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation at city hall on January 20. Adrian DeGroot from Wilkinson (left) and Kim McCaw, Senior Staffing Co-ordinator Adecco (second from left), also attend-ed the presentation as sponsor representatives. Photo: Submitted

Belleville News - Thursday, January 29, 2015 3

By Stephen PetrickNews - Belleville - Marg O’Hara says she doesn’t mind canvassing doors in the cold every February. Maybe it’s be-cause the loyal Heart & Stroke Foundation volunteer knows the importance of having a good heart.

“It doesn’t bother me,” she says. “My heart is warm be-cause I know I’m going to save a lot of lives.”

O’Hara was given a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Heart & Stroke Foundation at a Heart Rally held at Maranatha Church on Tuesday, January 20. The award honours her 30 years of serving as a canvasser and

team leader in the non-profit organization’s annual February fundraising campaign. It was one of two major awards given out on the night. Jan Brooks was also honoured with a Heart and Soul Award for her com-mitment to past campaigns.

As February is recognized as “heart month” Heart & Stroke volunteers typically go door-to-door in Canadian neighbour-hoods during the month to so-licit donations to help fight heart diseases. The money largely goes toward research and edu-cation.

O’Hara can typically be found in her northwest Bel-leville neighbourhood. She

News - Belleville - On Monday, January 26, at 7:24 a.m., police responded to a premises on Sta-tion Street regarding a break and enter. Sometime over the weekend, unknown person(s) broke into the new fire hall and damaged multiple areas with drywall mud. This investigation is continuing and anyone with information is asked to contact Belleville Police Service or Quinte Crimestoppers.

Belleville Police Service is reminding the public about an ongoing and prevalent antivirus

software scam. Persons claim-ing to be affiliated with Micro-soft ask to gain access to your computer to remove viruses and/or other software.

Once they remotely gain ac-cess, they typically ask for cred-it card information or a money transfer. Often they will lock your computer or threaten to do so if you do not pay a monetary amount.

Do not allow anyone to remotely gain access to your computer or provide personal information.

Belleville police report

News - Belleville - The Bel-leville Fire Department re-sponded to the report of a structure fire on Geddes Street at 6:55 p.m. on Monday, Janu-ary 26.

Upon arrival the crews found smoke and flames in the floor joist area of the basement. Un-der the incident command of Captain Brad Begbie, the crews were able to quickly extinguish the flames.

This fire required extensive

overhaul for complete extin-guishment and to check for fire extension, but damage was mi-nor enough that the homeown-ers were able to remain in the home for the night. Although this fire is not suspicious in na-ture, the cause was being inves-tigated Monday night.

The Belleville Fire De-partment wants to remind ev-erybody that working smoke alarms on every level of the home are required by law.

jokes that she sometimes only makes it to a few houses in an evening because neigh-bours keep inviting her in for a chat.

But she feels it’s important to contribute because she has seen family members bat-tle heart diseases and has seen the toll they take on people.

“I always say without a heart, you can’t fight anything,” she says.

O’Hara’s work ethic was acknowledged as a great example to other volunteer can-vassers who gathered at the rally to re-ceive instructions on how to go about this February’s campaign. Canvassers are ex-pected to be on the streets from February 1 to 28 soliciting cash or cheque donations. Those who wish to donate by credit cards will be encouraged to go online to <www.heartandstroke.com>.

Tom McAllister, the CEO of the Ontario Heart & Stroke Foundation, attended the rally and told the audience that in the last 60 years, the mortality rate for those suffer-ing from heart diseases has improved by 75 per cent.

Yet, despite that positive statistic, there’s still work to do. Heart diseases are still prevalent enough that in Canada one per-son dies of a heart-related illness every seven minutes.

Those at Tuesday’s rally also learned about the benefit of past Heart & Stroke Foundation campaigns. Last year $10 mil-lion was raised through donations and this money is making a positive difference, or-ganizers said

Last year, 165,000 people were able to return home to their families after being treated for a heart-related illness.

These positive strides have been made directly because of the help of volunteer fundraisers, organizers said.

“People say, ‘Who canvasses in Febru-ary?’ It’s not an easy job,” said Maureen

Corrigan, a member of the Heart & Stroke Founda-tion’s Belleville, Hastings, Prince Edward Country

and Brighton branch. “The best of the best volunteer to canvas in February.”

Walk for Memories raises funds for Alzheimer’s

Councillor Karen Sharpe and Jane Harrison get ready to Walk for Memories at the YMCA. Photo: Kate Everson

By Kate EversonNews - Quinte West - The community rallied around the victims of Alzheimer’s in a Walk for Memories at the YMCA on Sunday.

“I’m here for my mother, my brother-in-law and my mother-in-law,” said local resident Lois Tracey.

She put their photographs

on a table in the gym along with several others, designat-ing who they were walking for. Volunteers Amelia Huff-man and Clara Quinn from the Loyalist College Public Relations program helped out with the photographs.

Around the gym were sev-eral other activities where the walkers could stop and pick

up information on the disease, or children could play LEGO or get their face painted.

The Alzheimer Society of Bel-leville, Hastings, Quinte’s executive director Laura Hare thanked co-ordina-tor Hannah Brown and everyone for their support from Quinte West and Brighton. She said this is a busy time in their organization with people being diagnosed with some form of dementia. Alzheimer’s is the most common.

“We thought we might have a lot of baby boomers, over 65, going through this,” she said. “But it hit us. We are drowning in a rising tide of dementia.”

Hare said the fundraising is impor-tant to keep services going. They are doubling the number of phone calls and face-to-face visits with people suffering from dementia.

“It’s here,” she said. “No one should have to face Alzheimer’s alone. We are here to show our support.”

Piper Beth Cleaton piped in the par-ticipants who walked around the gym wearing their Walk for Memories shirts. MPP Lou Rinaldi was there along with Mayor Jim Harrison and his wife Jane

as well as Councillors Karen Sharpe and Duncan Armstrong. The Seasons Duf-ferin Centre provided a lovely spread of breakfast coffee, juice and pastries in the foyer.

Face painter Jazlin Nicholas, 14, from Nicholson Catholic College, painted faces for fun, and her brother Theo, ten, sorted out the LEGO for kids to play. “I love LEGO,” he said with a smile.

Kristel Nicholas, an employee with the Alzheimer Society, said she has been bringing her daughter Jazlin to these events since she was in a stroller. Although this is only the second year it has been held in Quinte West, it has been going in Belleville for about 20 years.

Organizer Hannah Brown thanked everyone for their support and said they raised $14,000 from the donations and sponsors.

Alzheimer’s is described as an irre-versible disease of the brain in which the progressive degeneration of the cells

causes thinking ability and memory to deteriorate. It also affects behaviour, mood and emotions, and the ability to perform daily activities. The disease was first identified in

1906 by Dr. Alois Alzheimer.For more information con-

tact the Alzheimer Society of Belleville, Hastings, Quinte at 613-962-0892 or go to <www.alzheimer.ca/bhq>.

Paws for Reading program a doggone good idea

By Stephen PetrickNews - Belleville - Maya and Alexia Bianchi met a new reading buddy at the Belleville Public Library recently. She listened attentively while sit-ting on all four paws.

The reading buddy was an 11-year-old golden retriever named Bella. She was at the

library on Thursday as part of a new program called Paws for Reading. The program allows children to improve their lit-eracy skills by reading out loud to a trained therapy dog.

Maya, a five-year-old Kin-dergarten student at St. Mi-chael’s Catholic School, read Bella a book called Don’t Let

the Pigeon Drive the Bus. Alexia, an eight-year-old Grade 3 student at St. Michael’s, read a book called I Am A Frog.

When asked whether they enjoyed reading to a dog, the two sisters nodded yes. Their mother Alba added, “It was

cute. It was nice to see.”Several other families

who’ve taken advantage of the program since it launched in Belleville in September have said the same thing, said San-dra Gordon, Bella’s owner and a volunteer with the St. John

Ambulance Therapy Dog pro-gram.

Bella is one of a few dogs that participate in Paws for Reading. St. John Therapy Dogs also visit local elementary schools where selected kids have an opportunity to read to a dog. Gordon said the program is intended for students who struggle to read. The students benefit from the opportunity to read to a non-judgemental audience.

“They sit with the dog and the dog calms them down,” she said. “I’ve seen positive results.”

In fact, Gordon said, Paws for Reading is based on a similar pro-gram that developed in the United States. Those involved found it was beneficial for kids who may struggle with reading or read or have a speaking disability. The program has since branched off with several similar programs now work-ing in Canada.

That said, to participate in Paws for Reading at the Belleville Public Library a child doesn’t have to have a learning dis-ability or be a struggling reader. Anyone who registers in advance by contacting the library can get the opportunity. The Bianchi sisters said they learned about the program when a therapy dog visited their school, so they asked their parents if they could give it a try.

Gordon said the program has been so successful that she and other therapy dog owners hope to continue with it. Paws for

Reading takes place every Thursday from 3:30 to 5 p.m.

She said the program is a natural exten-sion of the St. John Therapy Dog program. Its therapy dogs are known to visit seniors homes and high schools around exam time, so people under stress can experi-ence the calming effect of a gentle dog.

This program, however, has a slightly different goal and Gordon said she and Bella are happy to be a part of it.

“Anything to help kids read, because reading is so important,” she said.

To register for Paws for Reading call 613-968-6731 ext. 2235.

Dear Editor,So now we have Mr.

Kramp’s questionnaire fly-ers arriving two at a time and returned, all on the taxpayers’ tab. For those who fill them out, they should realize that all the data is correlated in the Tory computer system for use in the next election. Your concerns are not likely to be acted on, but the hot button

issues will be a part of the election campaign.

Having expressed concerns for the environment, I feel sure my name is on the “enviro-terrorist” list. It may also be on the “get the troops out of foreign wars” list. It would be certainly be on the “look after the vets” list, though not on the “birders terrorist list.” You get the picture; they likely have my

boot size on record.It is extraordinary that in 2015, this

country can still be ruled as a fiefdom by a party which received under four per cent of the votes cast, from around half of the eligible voters. Most of the world’s democracies have elections based on pro-portional representation; every vote cast counts, 40 per cent of the vote gets 40 per cent of the MPs. And yes they often have coalition governments. The Prime Minister’s favourite, Israel, does. The In-ternational Monetary Fund, not known as a left-leaning lobby, states that Canadian subsidies to the energy sector now stand at $35 billion each year. Put another way, while the people of Norway are all mil-lionaires according to their Sovereign Wealth Fund which stands at over one trillion dollars, Canada still pumps money

to the energy sector to keep it profitable. I should add that Norway is comparable in population, the oil fields are hundreds of miles offshore and they have been in the oil business for a much shorter time, all of which shows how poorly the Canadian public has been treated over our heritage.

Canada is once again sinking into the Middle East conflict. We learned nothing from the Afghanistan and Libya debacles. In Iraq we will likely increase the numbers as troops are killed, while at home each in-fantry man is allowed 49 bullets each year to practise what they do.

The air force has raided the Trenton Aircraft Museum for 60-year-old parts for its 40-year-old aircraft. Our submarines cannot float or sink (what they are sup-posed to do). We have been offered loaned supply ships for the Navy which has none.

I could go on. Enough to say

speaking loudly without a big stick to back it up is con-sidered stupid, and anyway Canada used to be a peace-able nation. Oh for the good old days.

OPINION

Gwynne Dyer

Editorial - Turkey’s Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu was in Lon-don last week, telling the Western media how help-ful Ankara was being in the struggle against the terrorist “Islamic State” that has emerged in northern Syria and Iraq. Turkey is doing every-thing it can, he said—although, of course, “We cannot put troops every-

where on the border.”Turkey’s open border has become a sore point

with its Western allies, who suspect that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is deliberately allowing a steady flow of recruits and supplies to the “Islamic State” because he still wants the Sunni rebels, most of whom are jihadi extremists, to overthrow Bashar al-Assad, Syria’s Shia ruler. (Erdogan is no jihadi, but he is a devout and militant Sunni Islamist.)

But Erdogan’s motives are irrelevant, because Turkey simply cannot put troops everywhere on its 820-kilometre border with Syria. Or so says Ahmet Davutoglu, and only an enemy of Turkey (or somebody with a grasp of basic mathematics) would say otherwise.

I am no enemy of Turkey, but I can do basic arithmetic. If you stationed Turkish troops along the entire length of the Syrian border at ten-metre intervals—that’s enough for a machine-gun nest every 50 metres—it would take about 82,000 soldiers to cover the entire 820 kilometres. The strength of the Turkish army (never mind the navy and air force) is 315,000 soldiers.

Maybe Turkey doesn’t have that many machine-guns, but it’s not a poor country, and machine-guns are quite cheap on the international market. Or maybe it would prefer to use some other equipment instead: a good fence and some motion-detectors would help. But the main requirement is manpower, and not very highly skilled manpower at that. The Turkish army has a few other jobs, but not any high-priority ones.

Even if you allow for frequent rotation of the soldiers manning the border, it would take much less than half the strength of the Turkish army to shut the border to foreign fighters. Maybe a few jihadis would still get through, but the vast majority wouldn’t. The only reason Ankara doesn’t shut the border is that it doesn’t really want to.

Cutting off the flow of jihadi volunteers to Syria would not greatly change the local military balance: IS uses them mostly as mere cannon-

fodder. The point is that Turkey is not fully committed to the destruction of Islamic State, and indeed will give IS deniable help in order to further the goal of a Sunni victory in Syria, despite being part of a “coalition of the willing” that is nominally dedicated to destroying IS.

The same goes for Saudi Arabia, although it has sent some token aircraft to bomb IS. Riyadh tries to prevent any Saudi citizens from going to fight for IS, and it certainly does not want the IS brand of radicalism to come to the kingdom. Indeed, Saudi Arabia has already started building a 900-kilometre high-tech wall along its border with Iraq to stop IS activists from entering the country.

But it is not a long way from the Wahhabi brand of Sunni Islam that is promoted by Saudi Arabia to the “takfiri-salafist” doctrines espoused by the IS militants. Saudi private individuals have been a major source of financing for IS, and until recently Riyadh just turned a blind eye to it. Even now Saudi Arabia doesn’t want Islamic State destroyed if that means Assad gets to stay in power in Syria.

Then there’s Iran. In Iraq, where Islamic State controls half the country’s territory and threatens a Shia-dominated regime, Iran and the United States are fighting almost side-by-side to defend Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi’s government. (They don’t actually talk to each other, but they each tell the Iraqis where they are planning to bomb so there are no collisions over the target areas.)

But next-door, in Syria, it’s different. Iran has sent troops, weapons and money to defend Bashar al-Assad’s regime, while the United States is still pledged to overthrow it. They both see Islamic State (which controls about a third of Syria’s territory) as an enemy, but Washington still believes that it can create some other, more “moderate” army of Sunni rebels that will eventually take Assad down.

And Russia, of course, still supplies Assad with weapons, money and diplomatic support—but despite its own difficulties with jihadi rebels back home in the North Caucasus, Moscow is not participating in the military campaign against Islamic State. Its quarrel with the United States over Ukraine is too fierce to permit that degree of co-operation elsewhere.

And so on, and so forth. Not one of the major outside powers that is opposed to Islamic State in principle has a clear strategy for fighting it, nor are they willing to co-operate with one another.

So IS will survive, at least for some years to come, despite the horrors it inflicts on the innocent people under its control. It may even expand a bit more, though the end of the siege of Kobane shows that it is far from unstoppable.

Editorial - I started the new year off quite proud of myself. After spending a fortune on electric-ity last winter, a fortune meaning over a thousand bucks per month from November to April while burning wood, I thought I might finally have things under control and wouldn’t be complain-ing about Hydro One. Well, almost.

It wasn’t always this way. There was a time just five or so years ago that I didn’t give the monthly Hydro bill a second thought. For 25 years, my wife and I rarely had a bill over a hundred bucks. The highest bill we ever had at our old place was around the $150 mark. Times change.

After last year’s financial catastrophe, a few adjustments were in order if either of us planned to retire before age 75. So last fall, we went to work.

We started off by searching the Internet for some insulated curtains for the windows in the house, not that we wanted to defeat the whole purpose of the way the original owners designed the place. Although we love the 180-degree view of the river and wilderness, uncovered windows don’t do much to hold in heat so now almost all the windows are covered with thick curtains and kept closed, except for the odd time when we allow a bit of sunlight to sneak in to warm things up. That’s why we didn’t cover the south-facing bay window in the kitchen.

When picking out the curtain rods, I made sure to get the ones that would hold the curtains closest to the windows to bottle up that cold air. While the overall effect is somewhat tomb-like and dark, we’re saving money. Well, not as much money as we could because now we find we have to flick the lights on in the middle of the day to find things in the dark rooms. But we’re more energy efficient … honest.

That $1,000 investment was just the start. I then bought three cans of expandable foam and filled in every crack or hole I could find walking around the foundation of the house. It looked pretty ugly because as anyone knows, expandable foam does just that, so there are a few calf scour brown knobbly things sticking out here and there especially in the areas where wires go into the house. I had planned to cut those off when the foam dried but it’s only been four months or so, so it might not quite be cured yet. And who wants to cut things right next to meter wires or heat pumps anyway. That’s just asking for trouble.

That job done, I put off the next job as long as I could because for one thing, I’m tall and for another thing, I didn’t want to do it. Attics and

tall people go as well together as crawl spaces and tall people. Unless you bang your head on a regular basis, the head calluses just aren’t there and you just know you won’t escape unscathed.

But eventually, when the air got a tad frosty, up I went with bale after bale of batts, through a hole just a little bit smaller than a bale of insulation would fit through. Not a pleasant day but I was saving money by spending money.

Job done, I still didn’t think we had enough insulation so we got a good deal on some fibreglass and a blower and had a great time back in the attic blowing around some loose fill. Did I mention we have a cathedral ceiling in the house? I felt like a monkey by the time I was done, swinging from triangular truss to truss but when finished, we had about a foot of insulation in the attic. To top things off, I went out and bought some duct wrap too and headed to the crawl space, my now somewhat abused melon in tow. On the plus side, my scalp was well-aerated by roofing nails, so that should get the thinning hair growing again.

So after all that work, did we save any money? Well, considering it’s been a milder winter on the whole, it’s pretty hard to make comparisons but December’s bill was down about $400 bucks over last year. Mind you I’ve been running the fireplace insert pretty much wide open all winter and we’ve used more wood than last year but I was feeling pretty good about my accomplishments until Hydro One stuck its nose in my business. They sent me a letter basically saying I sucked compared to my neighbours when it comes to energy usage. I was a little pissed at Angie, Robin and Ian when I found out they were making me look bad but then again, maybe Hydro One isn’t really telling the truth. Hydro says they’re comparing my usage to “a hundred neighbours whose homes are close to mine but not necessarily on the same street.” Considering you’d be hard-pressed to find 100 neighbours within ten kilometers of our house, I don’t think they’re quite being honest in their little letter. So why make me feel like a slacker? My two neighbours to the east aren’t even connected to Hydro. And most of the neighbours on my street heat with oil NOT electricity.

So I’m going to call BS on you Hydro One and ask, why are you wasting money sending out this crap when you still haven’t retired your debt according to the charges on my bill?

Get your own act together before you waste my money to tell me I’m not efficient. Some nerve, eh?

By Kate EversonNews - Quinte West - A new smoking regulation came into effect on January 1, 2015.“Smoking is now prohibited within twenty metres of a bar or restaurant pa-tio, playground or public sports field,” said city clerk Kevin Heath.

The regulation also bans the sale of tobacco on college and university cam-puses.

The city had a bylaw in place that prohibited smoking within 25 metres of playgrounds or playing fields in the city. Staff contacted the Hastings and Prince Edward Counties Health Unit which recommended the city repeal its old by-law to be replaced by the new one. The bylaw is now covered under the Smoke Free Ontario Act.

In addition, the city has in place a bylaw which authorizes Nancy Roy of the Hastings and Prince Edward Health Unit to enforce bylaws. This includes smoking near doorways, entrances and exits of municipal buildings of the city.

By Stephen PetrickEvents - Belleville - Sir John A. Macdonald gave a speech in Belleville last week, just days after celebrating his birthday.

Okay, to be precise, it was an actor playing the role of Canada’s first prime minister. But the wardrobe and the text of the speech gave the event a

19th-century feel.An actor named Brian

Porter played the role of Sir John and Brian’s wife, Renee Porter, played the role of Sir John’s wife, Agnes.

The event was hosted by the Hastings County Histori-cal Society at its new home at Maranatha Church and hun-dreds of people turned out.

The event was to coincide with celebrations to mark the recent 200th birthday of Sir John A. MacDonald. He was born January 11, 1815, in Glas-gow, Scotland.

Porter delivered a speech, as if it was 1887, when Sir John A. was in his second tenure as prime minister and just four years away from his death.

In it, he paid tribute to Bel-leville politicians of the era, including the Mackenzie Bow-ell, a Minister of Customs in Sir John’s administration and a proprietor of the Belleville In-telligencer newspaper.

“His paper is one you can trust for the unvarnished truth, unlike that tireless screed the Toronto Globe, with all its scru-pulous reports and personal at-tacks,” Sir John A. said. “And I wouldn’t be too sure of that Hastings Courier either.”

He said this area has spe-cial meaning to him, as back in 1824, when he was nine, his father owned a business in Hay Bay. “I enjoyed running on the beaches,” he said. “And I’ve been running ever since.”

He also spoke about his role in Canada’s Confederation, pointing out that some of the important work began 1864.

“At that time the question of

New smoking regulation

colonial union was of such magnitude that it dwarfed every other question of this portion of the continent. Our constitution was deadlocked and a grander wider vision was needed. We found our-selves on fortune’s grounding slope. We knew we must not let this opportunity pass.”

This push led to two suc-cessful conferences in Char-lottetown in September and in Quebec City in October, where, for two and a half weeks, politicians worked out the terms of Confederation and a new constitution, The British North America Act, which had 72 resolutions.

That set the stage for Confederation to take place on July 1, 1867, the day Canada officially become a country.

Of course, the speech not-ed that the concept of Con-federation had some critics.

“The New York Times in March of 1867 wrote, ‘When the experiment of the Domin-ion shall have failed, as fail it must, a process of peaceful absorption will give Canada her proper place in the North America republic,’” Sir John A. read

“Can you imagine?” he continued, somewhat tongue-in-cheek.

“Some experiment.”

SINCE 1974


By Stephen PetrickNews - Belleville - A film crew headed onto the ice at Belleville’s Victoria Har-bour on a picture perfect evening last Thursday. They were there to shoot a commercial for Bay of Quinte Tourism that will demonstrate the lifestyle people who live in this region can enjoy.

It’s all part of a plan to bring more tour-ism dollars to the region and strengthen the local economy.

“The drive behind this commercial is to tell a deeper story about the sense of place that is the Bay of Quinte,” said Jeremiah Mackenzie, Bay of Quinte Tourism’s executive director. “We want to key in on a message that celebrates what it’s like to work here, what it’s like to live here and, lastly, what it’s like to play here.”

The 30-second commercial is expect-ed to air in around the Greater Toronto area on networks like CTV. During the set, a crew photographed a figure skater jumping on the ice saying “this is my playground.” Conveniently, there were several pond hockey games in the back-

ground, illuminated by the sun shining through a cloudless sky.

Mackenzie said Bay of Quinte Tour-ism is trying to capture a trend that’s grown steadily over the years; that is a desire among big city dwellers to get out of the rat race and experience more of life in smaller communities.

He said the Bay of Quinte’s wineries, cheesemakers, and other agriculture-related businesses are all assets that can help travellers see the benefit of visiting the area, or perhaps even moving to it.

“Before you establish what it’s like to live in a place, you want to play in it first,” Mackenzie said. “That’s what tour-ism represents. It’s what that quality of life actually is. I think we’re seeing more and more people from urban markets start to question why are they there, when two hours away this is your back yard.”

Bay of Quinte Tourism recently part-nered with a communications firm called Engagers to lay out a five-year-plan on how to raise the profile of the region.

Bruce Sudds, of Engagers, was at the film shoot. He said he’s excited to be

working with Bay of Quinte Tourism because he sees it as a rare example of many different organizations in a com-munity working toward one common goal. Bay of Quinte Tourism is supported by a network of local businesses.

“This isn’t a government-led program. This is like community-led, government supported. It’s bringing together all the assets of the place and the players, every-one from hoteliers, to real estate agents to builders to restaurateurs together to say, ‘we’ have a really unique offering.’ That doesn’t really happen, but where it does happen it’s hugely successful.”

Sudds added that now is a great time for the Bay of Quinte to advertise to people in the GTA. To the west and north of GTA, the population is fairly dense. This region, he feels, represents one of the few rural areas of southern Ontario that still has its rural charm and lots of room to grow.

“From my point of view, Toronto is growing at an unprecedented rate. This is the next area.”

Meanwhile, the Bay of Quinte team will also be promoting the region at

By Kate EversonNews - Quinte West - The city has signed a six-year-term contract with the Ontario Provincial Police.

The contract which expired at the end of 2014 has been renewed from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2020.

“The agreement is similar to previous agreements with the following changes,” noted CAO Charlie Murphy.

“The cost is no longer based on full-time equivalent hours. It is based on a new mod-el consisting of base costs plus workload [calls for service] costs,” Murphy said.

“There is no guarantee for number of hours per officer. The new agreement pro-vides a guarantee for adequate and effec-tive policing,” he added.

“There is provision that there will be no cost to the city associated with provincial police work on Highway 401,” Murphy stated.

The city has had an agreement with the province for the provision of police servic-es since 2004.

Bay of Quinte Tourism to target big city dwellers

for a “cheddar and ale trail”; that is a package that includes a local hotel stay and trips to various Prince Edward Coun-ty wineries. These types of packages help a tourism organization measure the suc-cess of their work, Mackenzie said.

Mackenzie also stressed that not all of the Bay of Quinte Tourism’s work is tar-geted toward GTA audiences.

In Year 1 of the plan with Engagers, the organization plans on dividing efforts to different areas.

Fifty per cent of the promotional work

will be targeted for the GTA. Thirty per cent will be targeted to “in bound” travel-lers [those who like to travel, either near or far]. The final 20 per cent of marketing efforts will target people here—so locals know what businesses they can enjoy in their own region.

“If people in our own back yard don’t know what we’re celebrating, that’s a shame,” Mackenzie said. “Part of our job is to ensure we know what’s happening in the county, or in Stirling or Tweed, or Madoc or Marmora.”

City renews contract with OPPThe 2015 cost for the city will be $9,086,824.“The partnership the city has had with the OPP has worked

very well,” Murphy noted in his report to council.The city will experience a total reduction of $1,649,767 in po-

licing costs owing to the new billing method. The savings will be phased in over a five-year period.

“This six-year contract will ensure the city has stability not only with the cost of the service but with operations as well,” Murphy said.

On Tuesday, January 20, members of the City of Belleville United Way fundraising committee and Mayor Taso Christopher (right) presented the United Way of Quinte with a cheque for $12,222. This donation was made possible through a series of initiatives planned and supported by city hall employees that included: summer barbecues, a silent auction, 50/50 draws and staff payroll deductions. Judi Gilbert, Executive Director of the United Way of Quinte, and Curt Flewelling, Resource Develop-ment Co-ordinator, represented United Way of Quinte at the city hall cheque presentation.

United Way of Quinte achieves fundraising goalBy Stephen PetrickNews - Belleville - It was close, but the United Way of Quinte passed its lofty 2014 fundraising goal.

Guests to a campaign wrapup event at Capers restaurant last Thursday applauded as a screen showed the final number of funds raised; $2,093,603 The campaign goal was $2,090,000.

Funds raised from the cam-paign will assist 41 agencies the United Way supports. That repre-sents a full spectrum of programs, from food organizations such as Gleaners Food Bank, to youth or-ganizations such as Big Brothers Big Sisters of Hastings & Prince Edward to social service organi-zations such as Community Liv-ing.

The United Way of Quinte’s catchment area includes Bel-leville, Quinte West, Deseronto, Central Hastings, North Hastings and Prince Edward County.

United Way Executive Director Judi Gilbert said that a flourish of late donations helped the fundrais-ing team pass the goal in the nick of time. As of mid-December, she wasn’t sure if the goal would be

reached as the projected number at that time had them finishing a little under the goal.

She said the late push that got them over the top wasn’t the re-sult of one philanthropist. It hap-pened because several people made small donations.

“It’s really incredible,” she said. “It speaks volumes about the support from the community and the commitment to the social service sector. People recognized there was a shortfall and recog-nized that those need weren’t go-ing to go away.

“The incredible part of this is it wasn’t one or two donors that stepped up. It was many.”

In a speech before the goal was announced, Gilbert spoke of the importance of the United Way, particularly noting that many United Way agencies help people living in poverty.

She noted that while the Quinte area is a great place to live, many people do not have the ability to take advantage of all the things it has to offer. She said that ten per cent of families here live with food insecurity and 20 per cent of children live in poverty. There is

also a high rate of teen pregnan-cies and seniors living in poverty.

“With the United Way of Quinte we were able to the focus our work on issues that matter to people today. This work will al-low us to help over 20,000 indi-viduals secure food to their fami-lies. It means 3,500 people from rural communities will be able to continue using transportation pro-grams to access employment or attend school. And it means that over 2,300 people can continue to receive mental health support. And this is just the beginning.”

Also on Thursday, the fund-raising cabinet team was publicly thanked. The team was made up of representatives from the manu-facturing industry, the business community, government work-places and the education sector. Their role was to promote United Way events and work with staff to explore new ways to raise funds throughout the campaign, which runs from September to the end of the year.

That team was led by this year’s campaign chair Martin deRome, the plant manager of Procter & Gamble. Gilbert announced that

deRome will resume the role of chair of the 2015 campaign.

Proctor & Gamble was a large contributor to the 2014 cam-paign as its staff helped to raise $512,000

“I’ve always believed that ac-tions speak louder than words,” deRome said. “And oh my God,

there was a lot of action.”For his efforts, deRome was

given a Bobby Hull-signed Chica-go Blackhawks jersey. It was a bit of a gag gift since he’s a Montreal Canadiens fan, Gilbert explained. But he put on the jersey anyway.

In another touching ceremony, Daryl Smith was also presented

with the United Way’s Volunteer of the Year Award, for his tireless commitment to the campaign and his work reviewing applications for funding.

“His philanthropic work in unparalleled in this community,” said Amy Watkins in presenting the award.

In past articles, we discussed the negative effects of removable dental prostheses (dentures and partials). In most cases, complete and partial dentures are not the ideal replacement option of missing teeth because

they lead to less chewing efficiency, decreased life span, limited food selection, altered tastes etc..

Fortunately, these negative effects can be avoided with the use of dental implants. Here are the advantages of implant-supported prostheses:

By Kate EversonNews - Quinte West - Lioness Joan Graham wants the record set straight about Trenton Memorial Hospital.

Graham says the Trenton Lions Club was the driving force behind the hospi-tal in 1943.

“When the late Bill Chambers be-came president of the Lions Club in 1943, an idea was conceived by him that it was time for Trenton to have its own hospital,” she noted.

She said it was his inspiration, drive and leadership as well as support by members of the Lions Club that the hos-pital was built.

The hospital grounds were jointly purchased by the Lions Club and Ro-tary Clubs. Trenton Lions started the financial drive off with a donation of $5,000. The hospital was opened in 1951 with 58 beds at a cost of $578,000. A second addition was made in 1962 at a cost of $800,000. Another addition was completed in 1969 with a bed capacity of 208 at a cost of $1.5 million, with 325 regular employees, 63 doctors and serving a community of 45,000 people. The late Lions Past President Sherman Graham was chair-man of the board of directors during all of these expansions. The late Past Deputy District Governor Harry Sager and Past Deputy District Governor Val Carswell gave many years of service to the hospital board.

Joan Graham noted the Lions Club celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2014.

“They have continued to provide money for needed equipment and so have the Lioness Club,” she said.

Quinte Health Care provided this ad-ditional information about TMH.

“The Rotary Club joined the Lions Club in supporting the hospital project and they jointly purchased nine acres of pasture land for $1,000. The total cost of the hospital project was estimated at $275,000.

“The first board of directors was formed in 1944. Construction began with a sod-turning on August 29, 1946. The first cornerstone was laid on Oc-tober 15, 1947. The hospital was com-pleted in 1951, with the official opening on February 25 of that year. The hospital was dedicated as a memorial to the town of Trenton’s war dead, hence its name Trenton Memorial Hospital.

“Expansions took place in 1961 (two full wings and one partial wing added to the original building) and in 1969 (a two-storey addition to the east end of the hospital).

“The hospital became known as Quinte Health Care Trenton Memorial upon the amalgamation of the hospi-tals in Bancroft, Belleville, Picton, and Trenton in November 1998.

“QHC Trenton Memorial underwent an extensive redevelopment project that was completed in 2006. It virtually doubled the size of the hospital with a 45,000-square-foot wing which is

modern, bright, climate-con-trolled, and barrier-free.”

The QHC also has this to say about its 2015/16 plan-ning process:

“In mid-October, we re-ceived our funding announce-ment from the LHIN and Ministry of Health for our current fiscal year (2014/15). It included unexpected infor-mation that the new hospital funding formula was being applied even faster than we expected. We now anticipate that the gap between QHC’s expected revenues and ex-penses for 2015/16 is $12 million. We are facing a very serious financial challenge for the foreseeable future.

“The QHC Board of Di-

rectors has directed us to create a plan that will bring QHC costs in line with simi-lar hospitals and ensure we can continue to deliver high-quality care in a sustainable hospital system. The Board is committed to looking at the long-range clinical services plan for the future of QHC in 2020, rather than continuing to look at planning only on an annual basis.

“These are very challeng-ing times, but we know that with the collective wisdom of our staff, physicians and lead-ers, we can make the right decisions that will create a local hospital system that is stronger and sustainable in the long-term.”

Lahr exchange set for SeptemberBy Jack EvansNews - Belleville - City Council will renew its tradition of bi-annual exchanges with its twin city, Lahr, Germany, this year

with a planned tour and visit in September.

Details are still being arranged, Councillor Jackie Denyes reported to council

Monday, including price. That should be known in time for a public information session she hopes to hold early in February, she added.

The twinning of Belleville and Lahr goes back to a Canadian military base, involving many CFB Trenton personnel, established there during the 1960s and many visits back and forth have been held since then.

This year’s trip, said Denyes, will involve a flight to Paris, France, a river cruise and then a visit to Lahr. Those interested may leave their contact information at city hall and will be notified of any changes.

Council also discussed a direct on-line feed of council sessions over the Internet. A motion to purchase a necessary camera and encoder from Councillor Mitch Panciuk failed in getting pre-budget approval but was tabled to budget sessions. It drew general support though and is expected to pass at that time.

Councillor Panciuk also reminded that on-street parking remains a problem across the city

and the existing bylaw prohibits overnight parking on any street in the city except where there is no curb. That applies year round, he stressed as he read the bylaw. Winter parking restrictions are in place from November 1 though April and are even more specific and restrictive to allow for road maintenance.

Councillor Paul Carr gave notice of motion at the previous council meeting for improvements to pedestrian safety on 401 overpasses. His motion calls for a study by staff on pedestrian improvements on Sidney Street, Highway 62 and Highway 37 overpasses. He commented on seeing pedestrians being forced to walk on the narrow roadway, also self-propelled assistive carts being forced onto the busy roads, especially Sidney Street. He described the 401 as a “barrier” between Thurlow Ward and the rest of the city, but

growth northward continues and should not wait for years until new lanes are added. The motion passed unanimously.

Councillor Panciuk also challenged a report from the Mayor’s’ Implementation Committee and its suggested spending of up to $8,000 per month on publicity and communications.

“That is excessive,” he concluded. He was assured that the committee must clear all expenditures through council.

Also challenged was a recommendation to increase individual fees for swimming, gym and other events at the Sports and Wellness Centre. Councillor Egerton Boyce reviewed that since it opened barely two years ago, fees have risen from $2.50 to $2.75 and are now proposed to go to $3.

“I would like to keep those at $2.75,” he argued. His motion to that effect carried.

Quinte Conservation exceeded Adopt An Acre goal for 2014

News - Belleville - Quinte Con-servation successfully adopted out 159 acres in 2014, raising just over $3,000 to benefit the new accessible trail the organization is building Belleville.

Communications Manager Jennifer May-Anderson says, “We are thrilled with the community’s generous response to the needs of our public green spaces. We had such tremendous support in this effort from our staff, board members, and all of

the people who adopted acres. We

are very grateful to all those who donated so generously to the program.”

The environmental organization encourages people to symbolically “adopt” an acre of conservation land for $20 as a gift or for themselves. The money raised goes toward improving local conservation areas.

She adds, “The money raised this year will go toward planting scent and butterfly gardens at the new accessible trail south of the office.”

Anyone can participate in Adopt An Acre throughout

the year by visiting the Quinte Conservation website <www.quinteconservation.ca> and clicking on the link DONATE.

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 provides cost-effective environmental expertise and leadership. Quinte Conservation’s main goal is to create a sustainable ecosystem where people and nature live in harmony.

By Richard TurtleNews - Stirling - Although there is plenty of snow on the ground, vol-unteers at the Stirling Agricultural Society are already thinking about spring and the upcoming Annual Automotive and Antique Flea Market at the beginning of May.

Spring Brook resident Jeremy Solmes has been closely involved with the show and sale since it started more than 40 years ago in a nearby driveway. It was Solmes’ grandfather, Roy Solmes, who got the wheels in motion decades ago and the younger Solmes admits his own participation has long been a labour of love as well as a tribute to one of the original organizers.

Scheduled for the weekend of May 2 and 3, the annual event regularly attracts crowds of 5,000 or more on opening day, Solmes says, and similar crowds are expected this year when the

fairgrounds and recreation centre open for two days of automotive displays involving hundreds of vendors and car owners.

This year vendor numbers are expected to surpass 600 with the majority of indoor and outdoor sites already spoken for, Solmes says. But there is still time and space for more.

Solmes says vendors targeted are primarily those related to the automotive industry, selling parts and vehicle related products, but typically there are also a range of toys, souvenirs and clothing on offer as well. But the focus, he notes, remains on cars and parts for hobbyists and enthusiasts.

And many visitors travel a significant distance to attend the two-day 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. event, Solmes says, noting that for many visitors to the Stirling Automotive and Antique Flea Market, and

other shows like it, it has become a family outing enjoyed by multiple generations. Each year there are plenty of vintage vehicles to admire, parts and components for nearly every make and model, and mechanical experts with answers to a range of car questions. Business is usually brisk on opening day, Solmes says, with many enthusiasts arriving early and often despite unpleasant and unpredictable weather forecasts.

Undoubtedly, he says, the traffic through the village will be heavier than usual on show days for what remains one of the largest annual automotive shows in eastern Ontario.

Interested vendors are asked to contact Roxanne at 613-395-1583 or 613-921-6936 or email <[email protected]>. Further details are also available online at <www.stirlingfair.com>.

Sports - A little rain and less then ideal conditions did not stop the U14 Batawa Tigers from having a great day Saturday at Mount St. Louis Moon-stone, north of Barrie. Coaches Dean Holiinger and Daniel O’Boyle Kelly stood at the top of the FIS rated slope with the 15 racers. All racers put forth a valiant effort on two tough slalom courses. Racers included Annissa Bray, Alexa Bryson, Meg Bashall, Hannah O’Boyle Kelly, Chloe O’Boyle Kelly, Jillian Madden, Reena Lui, Abby McLean, Maggie Chaulk, Padraigh Brady, Jackson Starbuck, Ian Worgan, Patrick Thompson, Caleb Roy and Jake Hollinger.

average 4.8 goals per game. Whitby was unable to stop Trenton from sending pucks toward the net, and the Golden Hawks eventually piled up 33 shots on goal. The defencemen of Trenton were also effective in the Fury’s zone, and came away with two goals.

The Golden Hawks were helped by Braden Hellems, who tallied one goal. Hellems scored on the power play 15:49 into the third period to make the score 2 - 2.

By Stephen PetrickSports - Belleville - The Belleville Bulls will head west this weekend at a time when they’re heading south in the standings.

The Bulls will play three games over three days in the Ontario Hockey League’s most western cities. They’ll cross the bor-der on Friday to play the Plymouth Whal-ers (15-26-2-1) and remain in Michigan on Saturday to play the Saginaw Spirit (21-23-1-1). They’ll return to Ontario to play the Windsor Spitfires (19-24-1-1) Sunday af-ternoon before the long bus ride home.

It’s a crucial road trip for a team that’s slipped significantly in the standings over the past two months. The Bulls lost all three games last weekend and are now winless in five games. Over the past ten games, they’ve won just once.

With a record of 19-21-3-3, they have 44 points and are tied for fifth spot in the Eastern Conference play-off standings. It’s a disappointing situation considering the Bulls started the season strong, winning ten of their first 13 games, and looked like a lock to return to the play-offs after missing them last year.

Now there isn’t a lot of room for com-fort, as the ninth-place Peterborough Petes, the team just outside the play-off perimeter, are only seven points behind Belleville.

The Petes narrowed the gap with a 3 - 2 win over the Bulls on Sunday afternoon at the Yardmen Arena. The Bulls lineup was limited to 15 skaters as a number of players were out with injuries or the flu.

Brett Gustavsen scored both Belleville goals in a back-and-forth first period, which ended with the teams tied at 2 - 2.

But Nathan Pancel’s late-third-period powerplay goal for Peterborough was the difference maker. Charlie Graham took the loss in goal despite making 35 saves.

Bulls looking to stop losing streak on road this weekend

On the previous night, the Bulls lost to powerhouse London Knights 5 - 3. London led 4 - 0 before Stephen Harper’s power-play goal midway through the second period gave the large home crowd something to cheer about.

Harper added another in the second period and Andrew Ming added a goal late in third to make the score respectable. Connor Hicks made 25 saves, but took a loss in goal.

Hicks also took the loss in the Bulls’ 2 - 0 shutout loss in Ot-tawa to the 67’s on Friday night.

These Strongmen are Tough as NailsBy Stephen PetrickSports - Belleville - Muscles were flexing, teeth were grinding, sweat was pouring and fans and athletes were screaming with excitement inside a small, dimly lit gym in the city’s industrial north end on the weekend.

The Tough as Nails Strongman Tour made a stop at the city’s new CrossFit gym on Lahr Drive. Sixteen young men—some with arms thicker than your legs—woke up early on a freezing cold Sunday to participate.

The event was a spectacle of strength and determination. Dozens of spectators packed a small entrance way and staircase at the front of the gym to take photos and cheer on family members and friends.

The event included a “tire deadlift” in which the men had to lift a barbell anchored with two huge tires. There was also a “green log press” event, in which the athletes had to repeatedly lift a 205-pound, thick metal log.

Padraic Moore, of Prince Edward County, won the tire deadlift event, when he, rather

calmly, lifted a two-tire barbell set at 745 pounds off the ground. The weight was enough to bend the barbell, but not Moore’s back.

“I went in there like it was an everyday thing,” he said, while catching his breath moments later. “If you train hard, you come in here and make the lift.”

Moore said he competes in strongman competitions across North America and has also participated in the Highland Games. He said the events are challenging because they ask participants to lift objects a person wouldn’t normally lift.

But he loves the thrill of the competition. At any moment, when an athlete is struggling to lift an object, the crowd—and fellow participants—get behind them and scream words of encouragement. Shouts of “You must lift this weight,” were heard a few times through the day.

“The camaraderie is awesome,” Moore said. “Everyone wants to see who can lift the most. And the testosterone gets the better of everybody.”

Ed Jouwstra, one of the owners of CrossFit, explained that this is the first time the gym has hosted a strongman competition, as it’s a relatively

new business. But he hopes to do them regularly to support a local charity.

Some of the athletes participating, he explained, were from outside the area; they travel to these events as part of the Tough as Nails tour. One athlete came all the way from British Columbia.

But other athletes were local and were trying a strongman competition for the first time. That’s fine because those athletes can always try lifting a smaller weight.

“We’ve got some people here who’ve never tried strongman before and they’re loving it,” he said.

“They might not do the heavy weight as some of these guys,” he continued, looking at some of the elite competitors. “Here you’ve got brute strength; farm boy strength. There’s guts and determination and there’s so much training involved. Tonnes of hours for a little bit of fun.”

He also said that the beautiful thing about the sport is the camaraderie between the athletes.

“You see guys high five and they’ve never even met each other,” Jouwstra added, speaking over the echo of weights clanging together. “They understand the pain in these lifts.”

Chicken Farmers of Ontario launch food bank donation program

News - Chicken Farmers of Ontario (CFO) and its 1,100 family-run farms have launched a new program in support of the province’s hungry. The CFO Food Bank Donation Program will help facili-tate the donation of up to 300 chickens per farmer each year to local food banks.

The CFO has set an annual donation target of 100,000 chickens worth an equivalent retail value of $1 million.

“We’re very excited to have developed this program in partnership with the Ontario Association of Food Banks which will allow us for the fi rst time to have an effective mechanism to contribute to those food bank client families looking to put safe, healthy, locally grown fresh chicken on their table,” says Henry Zantingh, CFO chair.

The new program is made possible in part by the provincial government’s new Food Donation Tax Credit for Farmers, introduced with the Local Food Act, which helps promote local food contributions by offering farmers a 25 per cent tax credit for the fresh food they donate to Ontario food banks.

Chicken is a supply managed product in Canada so each chicken grown for the commercial market is planned and accounted for. The program will allow each farmer to order an additional 300 chicks annually for their hatcheries specifi cally for the food bank system using the appropriate tracking systems.

The CFO farmer collaborates with the selected food bank then determines an appropriate time period to grow the extra chickens and pre-orders up to 300 extra chicks for that period.

Prior to this program CFO and its farmers in the chicken supply management

system supported the food bank system primarily through cash donations.

“I applaud the Chicken Farmers of Ontario for encouraging their members to donate to food banks through this new campaign,” said Jeff Leal Minister of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs and MPP for Peterborough.

Leal said the government established the food donation credit to “reward the generosity of farmers who donate to food banks, student nutrition programs and other community food organizations.

“This credit, along with the initiative launched today by the CFO, will help provide fresh, healthy, local food to those who need it most,” he said.

Gail Nyberg, Executive Director of Daily Bread Food Bank, lauded the new program.

“Being able to provide our clients with healthy food choices is so important and this program will ensure that our clients have a fresh and local protein option on their table,” said Nyberg. “Proteins are one of our most needed food item groups.”

The Daily Bread Food Bank provides food and support to almost 200 food programs across Toronto which had over 700,000 visits last year.

“There are over 375,000 Ontarians who rely on food banks to provide their basic sustenance each month and unfortunately that number continues to grow each year,” says Carolyn Stewart, Acting Director of the Ontario Association of Food Banks. “This innovative program that Ontario’s chicken farmers have put together will help ensure that more Ontario families will be able to enjoy fresh healthy locally grown meals on a regular basis.”

Feature documentary will look at the often taboo subject of death

Barb Phillips, who is a Thanadoula, a death midwife, founder of a group called “Last Breath” will be hosting a feature documentary called Let’s Talk About Death which will be shown in the communities of Warkworth, Brigh-ton and Cobourg. Photo: Sue Dickens

By Sue DickensNews - Warkworth - The past success of Death Café Northumberland has resulted in a rebirth of this phenomenon here.

“An honest conversation about death is what brought people back last year,” said Barb Phillips, founder of a group called “Last Breath” whose mandate is “to educate and support the opening of conversation about death and dying.”

Held for the fi rst time in 2014, there

from a variety of perspectives and traditions,” said Phillips.

“It looks at how popular culture looks at the ever present fear we have of our own mortality.”

There are interviews with leading scientists, philosophers and teachers.

“The movie offers a deep thoughtful exploration into what we all face,” she said.

The movie is one hour in length and a discussion will follow. It will be shown on February 17 at the Warkworth Town Hall Centre for the Arts beginning with a meet and greet at 6:30 p.m.

It will be shown again on April 21 at 66 King Street East, Cobourg, at the same time.

The actual Death Cafés were so successful last year they will again be held in three communities to continue the momentum.

A common theme through it all was that people found them “interesting, i n f o r m a t i v e , thought provoking and helpful,” said Phillips.

“People came back because there is no judgment and it is a free and open discussion,” said Phillips.

“Everybody enjoyed having the format that was relaxed and safe,” she noted.

The Death Cafés will begin with one on May 19 at Glovers Farm Market near

Warkworth followed by a second on June 16 at 66 King Street East in Cobourg and the fi nal on August 18 at the Harbourview Café in Brighton.

All begin with a meet and greet from 6:30 to 7 p.m. followed by a two-hour gathering.

It should also be noted that another fi lm will be shown on October 20 called A Family Undertaking, which looks at matters of life and death in the home funeral movement.

To pre-register for the fi lm go to <www.barbphillips.ca> or email <[email protected]> or

phone 705-924-3763.All events are free and everyone is

welcome.

“We want to add to the momentum of what was started,” Phillips explained.

To do this she will be hosting the presentation of a special feature documentary in two communities, with the hope of bringing the topic to the forefront again.

The title of the

fi lm is Death Makes Life Possible, which according to Phillips, “transforms the fear of death into an inspiration for living”.

The fi lm’s executive producers are Deepak Chopra and Marilyn Schlitz.

Chopra is a guru of sorts with a following. He is an author and television celebrity who promotes meditation, alternative medicine and more.

Schlitz is a cultural anthropologist and scientist.

“The intention of the movie is to explore the mysteries of life and death

Theatre Guild to stage The Woman in Black

Entertainment - Belleville - After a fairly cheerful story in-volving spectres in A Christmas Carol and its kindly Spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Fu-ture, the Belleville Theatre Guild is preparing to become more win-try with a truly supernatural tale, The Woman in Black. This play, originally a story by Susan Hill and adapted by Stephen Malla-tratt, has an almost ghostly his-tory of its own. When Mallatratt was asked to write a play script, he was told set and costumes couldn’t cost more than $1,500 and he could use no more than four actors. Mallatratt did this by making it a play within a play with two speaking actors. In the play Arthur Kipps, trying to ex-orcise the ghastly events that he endured 30 years ago, goes to an empty theatre to meet a young actor who can turn them into a drama and relieve him from the terrors of his past by re-enacting them. This young actor will play

the younger Kipps himself, a solicitor who comes to the re-mote town of Crythin Gifford and visits a mysterious house in the marshes to tie up a dead woman’s affairs while Kipps plays the various characters that he himself encountered there. Needless to say, they come to understand why everyone in Crythin Gifford shrinks from the place—and why everyone in the audience may enjoy see-ing it on stage but strike it from their list of potential tourist des-tinations. What makes the play’s history ghostly is that despite its inauspicious beginnings, it has continued to haunt the stage of the Fortune Theatre in London’s West End since 1989 where it is currently celebrating its silver anniversary. Good stories, like ghosts, don’t die. In this pro-duction director Diane Burley has cast two of the Guild’s best actors. Robert Lloyd is playing the young actor who is Kipps

in the play within the play and Ian Feltham is playing the ac-tual Kipps himself as well as the various extra characters he remembers from his past. Also to add to the general spookiness of the play, Valerie Pinchin is the woman in black herself—silent but scary. The Woman in Black preview will be Tuesday, Feb-ruary 3, and the show will run from February 5 to February 21. Tickets are $20, $10 for students and $18 for seniors and will be available for sale at the Pinnacle Playhouse in Belleville, and can be ordered by calling the box of-fice at 613-967-1442. For infor-mation about this and other up-coming plays at The Belleville Theatre Guild visit the website at <http://bellevilletheatreguild.ca/>. The Belleville Theatre Guild offers elevator service right into the theatre, a barrier-free washroom, and room in the front row for wheelchairs and other mobility devices.

Checking Out the Ice Trail at Arrowhead Provincial Park

At Arrowhead Provincial Park on a winter’s day.

Skaters enjoying the Ice Trail.

By John M. SmithLifestyles - My son and I re-cently did a day trip to check out the Ice Trail in Ontario’s Arrowhead Provincial Park, which is located near Hunts-ville. The park itself is just off Highway #11, heading north from Huntsville, at exit 226, and its address is 451 Ar-rowhead Park Road. The park offers many winter activi-ties, including snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and tub-ing, but it’s the Ice Trail, said to be the province’s longest man-made one, that has made this park such a particularly popular winter destination for

families.John Leadston, the park’s

assistant superintendent, fi rst created this 1.5-kilometre man-made trail back in 2011, and it’s steadily grown in popularity ever since. It me-anders, in a loop, through a wooded area, and that’s certainly a major part of its charm. It has a designated outside area, next to the park-ing lot, for putting on your skates, with picnic tables to sit at, a cozy bonfi re ablaze, and storage shelves provided for your boots. There are even welcoming torches along the route, lighting the pathway,

on certain nights. An ice-resurfacing machine helps to keep the trail in good shape. However, because of changing ice conditions, it’s best to call ahead be-fore a visit: 705-789-5105.

Many of us have enjoyed a skate on Ottawa’s Rideau Canal, another great outdoor activity, but the two experi-ences are quite different. This particular Ice Trail route is relatively short, and you end up where you started. Also, the woods provide protection from the winds, and that can be rather comfort-ing. Indeed, there’s something special, unique about gliding through a wooded pathway, under a canopy of snow-cov-ered trees, breathing in the smells of both the evergreens and fi rewood.

I hadn’t been on skates for quite some time, but I can recall a time, several years ago, when the ice on the Bay of Quinte was so thick that I actually skated across it, from the cove at the end of the Weese Side Road in “The County” to the Trenton Air Base and back. I can also remember, as a youngster, playing on a minor league hockey team at the Memo-rial Arena with now long-retired NHL player Dennis Hull. Therefore, I decided to don a pair of skates once again, these many years later, and test my ability on Arrowhead’s Ice Trail. I have to admit, sadly, that my skating ability has cer-

tainly deteriorated, but it was still “a hoot” to get out there and join the other skaters. And what a va-riety of skaters did I see. There were many young children hold-ing on to a parent’s hand and sim-ply learning the skill. There were also several adults, perhaps new immigrants to our great country, who were also just trying out this new activity. I also watched sev-eral parents simply place a young child on a plastic sled/toboggan and enthusiastically drag them about the path as he/she skated. I even saw some baby carriages that had been specifi cally “modi-fi ed” for the ice. There was a mix-ture of “seasoned veterans” on the trail, too, who simply soared along “with the greatest of ease.”

Skates can be rented right at park headquarters ($6) and a day pass is $16 per vehicle. This al-lows visitors use of not only the

Ice Trail itself, but the other park recreational activities, too, includ-ing the groomed cross-country ski trails and the awesome snow tub-ing hill, where you’ll fi nd a long lineup as youngsters and parents await their turn at plummeting down the snow-covered chute. It’s all in a day of family fun at Arrowhead Provincial Park.

To reach the park, we decided to travel on Highway #62 north from Belleville to Bancroft, and as we approached this particu-lar destination, we thought we had entered “another world,” for road conditions had dramatically changed up there. The roads had been relatively bare in the south, but we encountered snow-cov-ered roads and snow squalls as we approached Bancroft. I guess that helps to explain this destination’s popularity with snowmobilers. We actually caught up to a snow

plough and followed it for quite some time. As we headed further north, the road conditions sudden-ly improved again, and the drive through Algonquin Park was quite okay. We had chosen this particu-lar route in the hope that we might see a bear or moose in the park, for a photo op, but this wasn’t to be on this day, so we simply con-tinued our drive through Algon-quin Park and on to Huntsville and Arrowhead Park. Our return trip took us south on Highways #11 and 12 to Whitby, and then east on the 401, completing our circuit. It’s a rather long day’s drive, so I’d recommend spend-ing a weekend near the park itself. Then you’ll have ample time to enjoy the park’s activities, includ-ing that intriguing Ice Trail.

The Good Earth:

Lifestyles - Vegetables are just about the most amazing group of plants on this planet. You should grow more of them.

Back in the day (which means when I was a young lad growing up on the farm) most families had, at least, a small vegetable plot. Urban dwell-ers were comfortable with the “green grocer” and sourced out their veggies from those stores. We were also ac-customed to eating whichever veg-etable was in season. In the winter, if you wanted potatoes, carrots, turnips, parsnips and even beets, you went down to the root cellar. If it was peas, beans, corn or peppers, you opened up a can; sometimes, canned by Mom. I remember not being fond of canned peas and wax beans. It was also an era of chutney, chowder, chow chow, and pickled stuff. The latter was mostly cucumbers turned into bread and but-ter pickles or ice pickles, occasionally dills; and even beets were erroneously preserved in this fusion.

Gentle Reader, many of you are aware of my aversion to eating beets in any form. Recently, I spent a plea-surable afternoon chatting with the folks at the Cramahe Horticultural Society. Barry strongly suggested I try a piece of a very rich chocolate cake, courtesy of Rose. He had a bit of a twinkle in his eye. It was delicious. I had another piece. It was laced with shaved beets. You know, GR, the most benign, gentle mien often disguises a mischievous bent and this rings true with the aforementioned gentlemen although his intentions were honour-able. Thank you to the Cramahe Hort folk for hosting us.

Today, we go to the supermarket and purchase fresh vegetables from around the world whenever we want them. We still appreciate new potatoes and first cobs of sweet corn, but we’ve become a titch jaded in our overview of these foods. We now expect them to be available year round with little thought to their origin.

We’ve become dependent upon the stores to provide us with all of our food. Seldom do we see vegetable

Grow more vegetablesgardens in the suburban setting. However, the good news is that Conway and Brannen from the Department of Geography, Uni-versity of Toronto-Mississauga produced a very encouraging study in 2012 that indicates land set aside for homegrown vegetables is increasing signifi-cantly.

In columns past, we’ve chat-ted about traditional vegetable gardens and we looked at incor-porating edibles into our flower gardens.

Well, Gentle Reader, here’s a new reason for you to grow your own, vitamins and minerals. It wonders me sometimes how we have forgotten the reason we ate certain foodstuffs long be-fore the daily drill of popping a pill became “enculturated” into our daily life.

My computer screen is be-ing plastered with adverts about

miracle drugs, the recent one being a form of B6 (pyridox-amine). If you purchase it you will not die for a very, very long time thanks to its anti-glycation actions, which almost brings aging to a standstill. An obvi-ous disclaimer, I have no medi-cal or chemical training that al-lows me to weigh the pros and cons of some of these extrava-gantly wonderful claims. How-ever, today’s Daily Mail, online version, quotes an Oxford Uni-versity study stating that pop-ping vitamin pills are a waste of time. GR, I do recognise a controversial statement when I read it but a bit of discussion is seldom time wasted.

Have you figured out where I’m headed? Perspicacious folk that you are, I know you are reading ahead looking for the list of which veggie contains which essential nutrient/element. It’s

a long list and a short column, GR, so suffice to say that com-prehensive lists are available in many places including online, at the library, at your doctor’s office, etc. Condensed version: Vit A, B6 - carrots; B1 and B2, E - spinach; B7 (aka Vit H) - cauliflower; B9 - beets; B12 - this one comes from the animal kingdom; C - don’t have to tell you about apples and citrus but did you know that bell peppers and kale (also Vit K) have more C than oranges; and D joins B12 (how many of you remem-ber choking back a spoonful of cod liver oil?) You can make a similar list for minerals.

Grow veggies because they taste good, because they are good for you, because they look wonderful as ornamentals and because you get to pick the yummiest form of your vita-mins and minerals.

It wasn’t long before numbers were negotiated,permits issued and Cascata Bistro was born.

Following the farm to table philosophy which supports local farmers by using locallygrown seasonal produce when available, all of the menu items at the award winningCascata Bistro are handmade, ensuring only fresh quality ingredients are used.

News - Belleville - Loyalist Col-lege has announced that the W. Garfield Weston Foundation has committed an additional $160,000 to help another 40 post-secondary students to earn a skilled trades diploma.

Introduced at Loyalist in 2013 with a $240,000 commitment from the Foundation, the Fellow-ship began as a three-year pilot project, providing financial sup-port to 60 students, including 30 in diploma programs and 30 in apprenticeships. Given the Fel-lowship’s success in helping par-ticipants to complete their skilled trades education with significant tuition and bursary incentives, the W. Garfield Weston Foundation is extending funding for post-sec-ondary students for another two years. This will bring the total support through the Fellowship

program at Loyalist to $400,000.“The Foundation is respond-

ing to the skilled tradesperson deficit in Canada by supporting college students across Canada,” said Eliza Mitchell, Director of the W. Garfield Weston Founda-tion. “Loyalist College exempli-fies this program, providing an innovative approach in helping students gain the education, ex-perience and qualifications they need for a successful career.

“A unique system of incen-tives encourages students to com-plete additional training, thereby boosting their qualifications and future employment opportunities. Standing as a model for other col-leges across Canada, this success-ful program supports motivated students, changes lives and builds a stronger workforce.”

The application for the W.

Garfield Weston Fellowship programs starting in September 2015 is available at <loyalistcol-lege.com/programs-and-courses/skilled-trades-and-technology>. Deadlines for applications are May 29 for post-secondary pro-grams and July 31 for apprentice-ships.

The W. Garfield Weston Foun-dation is a private Canadian fam-ily foundation, established in the 1950s by Willard Garfield Weston and his wife, Reta. In 1924 Gar-field inherited his father’s com-pany and established baking and retail businesses throughout Canada and in many parts of the world. The founders believed that, as the funds are generated through the hard work and suc-cess of his Canadian companies, grants should be given in Canada for the benefit of Canadians.

Workshops explore agricultural potential

At a recent small business workshop held at the Stirling-Rawdon Public Li-brary, OMAFRA consultant Karen Fisher (standing) was joined by colleagues Heather Candler (OMAFRA) and the Small Business Centre’s Charlene Bes-sin. A second session is planned for February 17.

By Richard TurtleNews - Stirling - Organizers and participants in the first of a pair of business workshops scheduled at the Stirling-Raw-don Public Library were im-pressed by the turnout as well as the number and variety of ideas shared across the table.

Organized by the Small Business Centre, Trenval Business Development Cor-

poration, Harvest Hastings, and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA), the two-part workshop explores oppor-tunities for rural and agribusi-ness as well as the importance of planning and preparation and the need for a solid busi-ness plan, says Small Business Centre Managing Consultant Charlene Bessin.

Held earlier this week, the first ses-sion, Exploring Value Added Opportuni-ties, attracted about a dozen budding en-trepreneurs from across the region, many directly involved in the agriculture sec-tor. And all three presenters agreed there are new and growing opportunities in the food sector, many involving specialty products, that can supplement existing farm incomes. In adding value to existing products or services, or increasing prod-uct or service lines, a greater business po-tential can often be realized, Bessin says, noting the sessions in Stirling are de-signed to help small businesses through the process of assessing and selecting the best ideas and taking the necessary steps to make them a reality.

With information presented by Bes-sin and colleagues and OMAFRA rep-resentatives Heather Candler and Karen Fisher, participants were offered an intro-duction to the world of business, the con-siderations required prior to startup and the opportunities that may exist in the immediate area. But those are not always easy to spot.

Notes Fisher of the planning stages of the process, it is often a matter of “or-ganizing your chaos” in order to move forward. And often that organizational work will help create a clearer business picture through a better understanding of the market and the forces in play.

Citing several examples of local small business success, Bessin noted, “there are

some great examples of people who’ve started right here.”

And the Small Business Centre, she says, “does a lot of counselling and we always make sure that every-one has a business plan. You need to know where your money is.”

The second session, Market

Considerations, scheduled again at the Stirling-Rawdon Public Library, will be held February 17 beginning at 9 a.m. and will focus on food processing demographics, food safety and labelling require-ments and nutrition.

Seats are limited. Registration

is required as seats are limited but the upcoming session is free of charge. For information on this or other workshops or small business opportunities, contact the Small Business Centre at 613-961-0590 or email <[email protected]>.
