Frostfest is fantastic in lightly falling snowBy Kate EversonEvents - Batawa - Frostfest was fan-tastic in a winterland of snow and ice at Batawa on February 7.
Two big, beautiful dapple white percherons, Major and Drew, from Clare Dracup’s farm in Stirling pulled a wagon full of happy children and adults around the village.
“We’re from Clayvale Farms,” said Clare. “Major is twelve and Drew is six years old.”
There were even more farm friendly animals at Kristie’s Little Portable Pet-ting Zoo. This included angora goats, sheep, ducks, a miniature horse, a pot-belled pig and some silky chickens.
Lukas Copeland, two, from Belleville was hesitant to pet the horned goat, but got brave enough for a quick pat. The pot-bellied pig was shivering in the cold

TMH committee gathers strength
By Kate EversonNews - Quinte West - The newly formed committee to save Trenton Memo-rial Hospital has a new name and a mis-sion statement.
“We are a group of concerned citizens advocating for the preservation, protection and enhancement of services at TMH,” reads the mission statement.
About 23 people showed up at city hall on Monday, February 9, for the third meeting. It is chaired by Mike Cowan with co-chairs Betty Clost and Frank Bar-ry. Because of the increased numbers, the meeting was moved from the caucus room to the council chambers.
Several suggestions for the name of the committee came from the people, but the favourite was simply Our TMH.
Remco de Gooyer volunteered to set up a group on Facebook for the group’s com-munication with the public.
Mike Cowan said they also need com-mittees for strategy and research. He said the 2008 amalgamation with Quinte Health Care requires more investigation and possibly access to the Freedom of In-formation Act.
“We want to know everything that took place,” he said. “Were there any faults? Maybe the board dropped the ball.”
Malcolm Rawlings volunteered to work on research. “It is very important to fi nd out how we got to this point,” he said. “It could be very buried. We need to come up with some answers.”
Garry Quinn volunteered to help on that committee. Ken Rose was also volun-teered by chair Mike Cowan to participate. Rose reluctantly agreed, adding, “I forgot more than I knew.”
Wendy Warner, executive director of
TMH Foundation, said her staff can do presentations to the group but cannot be involved since it could be a confl ict of in-terest.
Mayor Jim Harrison said he met with QHC’s Chief of Staff Dr. Dick Zoutman and was reassured that they are aware of the needs at the family medical centre. Two doctors are interested in working ei-ther at the clinic or at TMH emergency de-partment. “They are very aware and very supportive,” he said. “That’s a bonus.”
Co-chair Betty Clost noted that a lot of people are starting to coming around and the committee needs to put more attention on the issue. Cowan added, “The hardest part is keeping up the momentum. Next meeting everybody bring two or three friends.”
Co-chair Frank Barry acknowledged the group is growing. “Quinte Health Care is very secretive,” he said. “We need to stand up and be counted, and get a bus to Toronto if we have to.”
The next meeting is Thursday, Febru-ary 19, at 1 p.m. in the council chambers.

Frostfest is fantasticsnowfl akes despite his straw and blankets, but the rest seemed happy to be petted by eager children outside the Batawa Community Centre.
A bonfi re outside was perfect for toasting marshmal-lows and making S’mores with chocolate and graham crackers. Children could skate on the outdoor ice rink or play hockey with the Trenton Golden Hawks. There was even a special per-formance by the Frankford Figure Skating Club.
Inside it was even more fun. Andy For-gie was on stage playing children’s songs and tunes for the adults to bring back memories of the golden 1960s. Suraya Jackson of Tranquil Photog-raphy in Belleville did face painting, with bright colours and designs. There was cotton candy made on the spot by Shawn Ellis of Heritage Cafe, plus hot dogs and lunch put on by Batawa Seniors Unlimited along with plenty of colouring and crafts

Continued from page 3to keep little fi ngers occupied. There was a lineup for the balloon twister to make animals for the children.
The ninth annual Frostfest was a delight and even special events co-ordinator Colleen Vickers had an ex-tra helping of the hot pink candy fl oss. “It’s great!” she said with a grin.

LETTERS TO THE EDITORLIFESTYLES
Dear Editor,Only in Ontario can the Liberals win an election and
be investigated by the OPP for criminal behaviour on the same day. It would be a great laugh if not so tragic.
But it all took place during the Sudbury by-election held last Thursday. About three per cent of eligible voters exercised their voting privilege.
I’m sure you know the story of Glen Thibeault. For six years he represented the Sudbury federal riding under the NDP banner. He quit in December just days after he quali-fi ed for his pension and became Wynne’s chosen prince in the recent Sudbury by-election.
The rumours are he’s been promised a seat in her cabi-net.
I listened to him being interviewed on a Sudbury radio station the day after his win. During the interview, he used the line “to be perfectly honest”… yeah right, as if.
How have we in Ontario fallen into such a black hole, where elected offi cials can undermine the process of our political system and apparently get away with it?
It isn’t just the actions of bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.
Bad things happen when good people fail to act. Anybody for a rural revolution?
Shelby J. Lawrence,Stirling
Dear Editor,The private members Bill C-520 proposed recently by
a Conservative MP is not necessary because good em-ployment rules and behaviour for civil servants, re their political partisanship, has been in effect for decades on the Hill. What indeed then is this bill trying to do? It would require any federal public servant to state (on line) what political party he or she is affi liated with in the past ten years. As one opposition MP in the House recently said and I quote: “It’s a bill having a solution looking for a problem.”
Private member bills are not quite what they seem to be, particularly in this case; it’s actually an extension of the Conservative government’s agenda and not at all “subject to caveat or scrutiny.”
Do I exaggerate when saying this sounds like East Ger-man Stasi police tactics? If not that, at least there lurks a Conservative tendency to secrecy and intimidation.
With sly methods such as this, omnibus bills, etc., Ca-nadians might observe during this election year a Con-servative impulse to scare the electorate. The recently built $1.2-billion CSIS building in Ottawa, Canada’s CIA headquarters, suggests we have terrorist boogeymen hiding under our rugs, and we must increase our secu-rity, even when the Conservative administration has been preaching economic austerity and cutbacks for years. Let’s hope this bill doesn’t pass.
I paraphrase Thomas Jefferson: For a democracy to function, we must be ever vigilant.
Tom Coulter,Campbellford
Dear Editor,I read your column re: Ontario Hydro
in the Central Hastings News Thursday, January 29, 2015.
I can empathize with you since I re-cently contacted Hydro One on behalf of my sister who resides in a rural set-ting just outside of Stirling, Ontario.
In her case she is dealing with a farmhouse that was renovated some-thing in the range of 25 years ago. The work was done to meet the building standards of the time and has since had ongoing work done to keep things up-to-date.
The house is heated with a combi-nation of a forced air propane furnace, a wood-burning stove and a few base-board electric heaters.
In spite of her best efforts to control her rising hydro costs, she received one of those nasty letters stating that she was extravagant in her use of hydro. She was rated at ninety-third out of 100.
Like you she was compared with “approx. 100 occupied nearby homes that are similar in size as hers.” Those
other 99 could have been of newer construction and heated with natural gas as far they knew.
You can appreciate the fact that there aren’t 100 other homes etc., within how many miles of her loca-tion, so how they can compare hydro consumption based on area alone is very questionable.
I contacted Hydro One and they were very short on constructive an-swers. The only thing they could suggest was unplugging a second re-frigerator and a couple of other rather benign things.
I contacted Todd Smith, the MPP for her riding and nothing came of that.
It sounds like it is some sort of make work program that is meant to make Hydro One look better in light of the poor job they are doing at deliver-ing affordable electricity.
I thought I would share this with you for what it is worth.
Sincerely,Gerry White,
Arnprior
Hydro One’s current make work project
Bill C-520. What is it? The appalling silence of good
people

OPINION
Gwynne Dyer
By Stephen PetrickEditorial - I recently covered the Jefferson Star-ship show at Belleville’s Empire Theatre, which was opened by a young, talented brother-sister band called Instant Rivalry. The performers told the crowd they had hoped to release an album soon, pending the results of their “crowdfund-ing” campaign.
As a music fan who feels compelled to support good young artists, that word, crowdfunding, breaks my heart. Crowdfunding is the act of soliciting public donations through social media to fund a project. Artists of virtually all mediums do it now, particularly musicians who are fighting to survive in era where few people purchase traditional albums and the few record companies that still exist aren’t likely to take a chance on new artists because they fear their records won’t sell.
The fact few people buy music on CD or vinyl records anymore is no one person’s fault. It’s a reality of our times and the decline in record sales has been happening ever since the Internet became common in the 1990s, an act which made sharing music electronically free–even if it’s often illegal.
Personally, I feel true music fans should buy albums of musicians they like, even if they can get it free somehow. Paying money to enjoy artists’ work just seems like the morally right thing to do, plus it helps maintain a culture where there’s a glimmer of hope that new musicians can come up and survive.
I’m not sure how to make a compelling argument that today’s younger generation is missing out on the thrill of buying albums, but for some reason, I feel they are. I’m just old enough to remember a time when CD warehouses existed. Places like HMV or Sam the Record Man sold music almost exclusively. Now such stores have just tiny music sections and the rest of the retail space is used for DVDs and other pop culture products.
I’m dating myself here, but back in the 1990s we high school kids would flock to these stores religiously, looking for albums of the latest, greatest bands. It seemed like a great time for music. Nirvana took the world by storm and put some edge into the industry. Bands like Pearl Jam
and Stone Temple Pilots followed. R & B and hip hop were coming into their own and pop stars were still plentiful (by the 1990s Michael Jackson had turned weird, but he was still talented).
In some ways, I feel the musical industry today is better. The Internet has almost killed the concept of the mega-selling band, but fans’ newfound ability to share music through social media has allowed a culture where zillions of small, more homely musicians can develop niche followings. I’ve been intrigued to watch what were once independent-label bands I’ve liked, such as The Decemberists, rise to a level of relative fame.
But I also worry that kids today can’t experience the same intense love for a big band that kids of previous generations could. They won’t ever tour with the Grateful Dead, attend a record store at midnight to purchase a Beatles album, or camp outside a stadium all night to buy Metallica tickets. They can’t because, well, Jerry Garcia is dead, as is the concept of the midnight record sale or the actual ticket booth. If you really want these things today, you buy them online.
I suppose missing these opportunities seems trivial, but they are experiences that linger in a person’s mind like their first love. They’re memories that stay with us forever. They define who we are. And they provide stories to share with our children about the days when we were young.
Fortunately, the concept of good music will never die. As long as people are walking the Earth, great music will be made. And great bands of the future will promote their work through the media of their day. But I believe, to help preserve culture, music fans should support musicians they love by buying their albums–whether electronically through iTunes, on classic vinyl or an old-fashioned CD, something I still prefer.
And there’s nothing wrong with supporting artists’ crowdfunding campaigns, too, although, to me, it seems like a challenging way to make a living. I just hope for the sake of Instant Rivalry–and the plethora of other great talents out there–that there’s a future for music, one that allows them to enjoy the perks of both the present and the past.
I know I’m old-fashioned, but I believe in buying CDsEditorial - Angela Merkel
grew up under Communist rule in the old East Ger-many. She speaks fluent Russian. She has been the chancellor of Germany for the past ten years. And for all that time she has been negotiating with the Rus-sian president, Vladimir Putin, on wide variety of subjects–including, for the past year, Ukraine. They may not like each other
much, but they certainly know each other.So listen to what Angela Merkel said about the
debate in the U.S. military, in the Congress, and even in the White House about sending direct American military aid to the Ukrainian government. “I cannot imagine any situation in which improved equipment for the Ukrainian army leads to President Putin being so impressed that he believes he will lose militarily,” she said. “I have to put it that bluntly.”
Does anybody think that Angela Merkel is wrong about this? Does any sane person think Putin would flee in panic if he hears that the U.S. is going to send Ukraine “defensive weapons” (anti-tank weapons, anti-artillery radar and the like)? If not, then this is crazy talk.
Nobody in the United states is talking about sending state-of-the-art U.S. tanks and planes to Ukraine, and they’re certainly not offering to send American troops. Secretary of State John Kerry is merely talking about giving some sophisticated “defensive weapons” to an army that doesn’t even use the weapons it has very well. The Ukrainian army is poorly trained, badly led, and controlled by a government in Kiev that is as incompetent as it is corrupt.
It sometimes wins when it is fighting the equally ragtag troops of the two breakaway “republics” of Donetsk and Lugansk. But if the Ukrainian government troops and the assorted volunteer battalions that fight alongside them start to win, then the Russians send in a few thousand well-trained soldiers and push the Ukrainians back.
That’s what happened last August, and now it’s happening again. Putting more advanced “defensive weapons” in Ukrainian hands is not going to change this pattern, and military professionals in Washington know it. This proposal is pure, strategy-free tokenism.
Of course, Putin’s stated concerns about Western plots to draw Ukraine into NATO are not very rational either. He’s exceptionally ill-informed if he thinks that Western European countries like France and Germany would let Ukraine join NATO, since that would mean they were taking on a treaty obligation to fight Russia on Ukraine’s behalf.
He’s completely deluded if he takes his own
military’s hoary arguments about Ukraine’s military importance seriously. It is 2015, not 1945, and Russia has lots of nuclear weapons. It simply doesn’t matter whether NATO’s tanks are far from Russia’s border or close to it. Wherever they are, nuclear deterrence still works.
And Putin can’t really be worried about the example that a democratic and prosperous Ukraine might set for his own people. Ukrainian incomes are far lower than Russian ones (thanks mainly to Russian oil and gas), and the West shows no inclination to pour money into Ukraine in quantities large enough to change that. And though Ukraine is more democratic than Russia, its government is no less corrupt.
What drives Putin, therefore, is a grab-bag of emotional motives. His man in Kiev got overthrown, and he doesn’t like to lose face. Even if Ukraine has little strategic or economic importance, it was part of Russia for 300 years, and he hates the idea that it might just slide into the West on his watch. He shares the paranoia about the evil intentions of the West that every Russian inherits (for very good historical reasons).
None of this is worth a full-scale war in Ukraine, let alone a serious military confrontation with the West or a new Cold War. Maybe if the United States were prepared to go in boots and all, showering Ukraine with weapons, money and even U.S. troops, Putin might back away, although it would be a terrible risk to take.
But some token “defensive weapons,” basically to make Americans feel better? That involves less risk of a huge Russian over-reaction, admittedly, but it would still be a big step toward a new Cold War, and for no possible gain.
That is why Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande flew to Moscow last Friday: to head Kerry off by patching up some new ceasefire (or reviving the old one) in eastern Ukraine. They will be meeting with Putin and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in Minsk on Wednesday in the hope that they can make it happen.
At best, that would mean the effective loss of Ukrainian sovereignty over two more provinces (Crimea is already gone), and a semi-permanent “frozen conflict” on Ukraine’s eastern border. Not great, but realistically Ukraine has no better options anyway.
We know Putin is willing to settle for such “frozen conflicts” in order to cripple disobedient former Soviet republics, because he has already done it with Moldova and Georgia. We know that the victims of such tactics can thrive despite Moscow’s games. Georgia certainly does, and Ukraine could do even better with strong European Union and U.S. support.
There is no satisfactory military solution for either side. Settle for a stalemate, and move on.
Ukraine ceasefire?

By Kate EversonNews - Quinte West - A re-quest from Dan Richardson for exemption to the city’s parking bylaw has been re-ferred to the Corporate and Financial Services commit-tee.
“The request is for six to eight designated parking spaces in the Robert Patrick Marina parking lot,” said city clerk Kevin Heath.
The exemption is on a trial basis from December 1, 2015, to March 1, 2016, for over-night parking to better service his business of ice hut rentals for overnight guests. Richard-son is working with Public Works to establish a designat-ed area that will not impede on municipal snow removal operations and is responsible for his own snow removal.
“It’s a great idea,” said Doug Whitney.
Karen Sharpe asked if there is any charge for park-ing on public land for busi-ness. Heath said they could consider a fee such as $45 a
month.“Will this set a precedent?”
she asked. “It promotes tour-ism but it also opens the door for other businesses.”
Whitney said in some places trucks park on the road and the city does not charge them.
Sally Freeman wanted clarifi cation of the process. Heath explained that Richard-son Outdoor Adventures rents ice huts with some designed for overnight stay. Of six huts, three will be for over-night. Based on full capacity he would require six to eight parking spaces. The custom-ers could place placards on their windshields in the desig-nated area.
Richardson would be re-quired to provide proof of ad-equate liability insurance.
“Public Works has noted it will not impede the snow-plow,” Heath said.
The committee has ap-proved the application, which still goes to council for full approval.
By Kate EversonNews - Quinte West - Council heard from Peter Moran, municipal relations representative for Munic-ipal Property Assessment Corpora-tion (MPAC), on February 2.
“We have 31 offi ces and 1,700 employees,” Moran told council.
He said there was $71 million in growth in Quinte West last year, according to building permits.
The assessments are updated whenever there is a change in property. They are based on cur-rent value assessment, location, lot size, age of the property, the value
of construction and proximity to other properties.
It can also involve income from rental properties, replacement costs and depreciation.
“Property assessment notices are sent out every four years,” Mo-ran said. “Unless there are changes
to the property.”The assessment increases are
phased in over four years.Information about individual
assessments can be found online at MyProperty website, including how your property was assessed and comparable properties in your
MPAC provides overview to council on assessmentsneighbourhood. It also gives details on how to fi le a Re-quest for Consideration if you are not happy with your assessment. This has a March 31 deadline and 90 days to appeal.
Rob MacIntosh asked if the properties around the new marina would have an in-creased value after the marina is in. Moran said, “If sales in-dicate an increase.”
Jim Alyea asked if vacant farmland on the water is con-sidered for its current value or potential as waterfront property. Moran said it would be current value as farmland based on its productivity.
Don Kuntze said the mu-nicipality sets the tax rate and many people don’t have their assessment until mid-March, at the eleventh hour.
Moran said the assessment is done in December.
David Clazie pointed out that assessments are done on a four-year cycle. They were sent out three years ago.
There would be an appeal only if there is a new assess-ment. The next assessment is not until 2017.
Duncan Armstrong asked about the average duration of an appeal. Moran said they would get an answer by September 30. Armstrong asked if half the people get reassessed. Moran said 41 per cent see a change.
Karen Sharpe asked if people want a Request for Consideration what kind of information would they need. Moran said they would have to explain why they wanted this request, such as sales in the area of comparable homes. It could also apply to some development in the area such as commercial or indus-trial that they are not aware of.
Sharpe asked if they visit the site and Moran said yes they do.
More information is avail-able online or in the Trenton offi ce of MPAC.

By Kate EversonNews - Quinte West - The Corporate Finance committee has approved the sale of land to the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board for expan-sion of Queen Elizabeth School in Trenton.
“As part of the process the land must be declared surplus to the needs of the city,” added deputy city clerk Virginia La Tour.
In attendance at the pub-lic meeting were school board representatives Kerry Donnell, communications officer, Sandy Smith, community engagement officer and Nick Pfeiffer, con-troller of facility services.
“The park will be a shared use facility with public access,” said Donnell.
She said there will be a public information meeting this month which has already been adver-tised in school newsletters.
Michael Kotsovos asked if there will be a bottleneck on
Dixon with the new construc-tion. He was told there is a site plan which will review access.
Duncan Armstrong asked if there will be another crosswalk. He was told there will be no ad-ditional one.
Karen Sharpe asked if the site plan will be circulated to resi-dents, but was told the area is already zoned for a school and park so there is no requirement.
Duncan Armstrong asked if the board would consider call-ing the park a playground. Kerry Donnell said the board has a procedure in place to name all school properties, in consulta-tion with the community. There will also be public input to name the new school which replaces Queen Elizabeth, Breadner and College Street public schools in Trenton.
Keith Reid asked if the school board pays for 100 per cent of the costs. He was told this is right.
It was noted the new play-
ground will be built according to the current code of the day with public access to the park.
Jim Harrison asked about the completion date. He was told it would likely be the end of sum-mer of 2016.
Duncan Armstrong asked if the land could be used for soc-cer fields or tournaments. He was told there are some partner-ships in place.
Karen Sharpe asked if there would be public access to the park. Virginia La Tour said the playground is the property of the school board and is not consid-ered parkland any more.
Sharpe asked if there is any interest in the money from the sale of the land going toward parkland for the city.
David Clazie said they can do that, but normally the money just goes into reserves, not des-ignated for parkland.
Doug Whitney felt it should go into an account to redevelop parkland.

By Ross LeesSports - Trenton - The brain-child of Chantal Brisson, a teacher at Marc Garneau Secondary School (Ecole Secondaire Publique Marc-Garneau) may be the beginning of a new craze in local schools.
During the school’s recent annual winter carnival, they held a Hamster Soccer Ball (Grosses Bulles) demon-stration of the event in which players insert themselves into large inflated balls, strap themselves in, stand up and then try to play soccer. As you can imagine, the game requires a whole new set of skills and strategy.
The game begins with a lone soc-cer ball sitting in the middle of a gym-nasium and the two opposing teams lined up at each end. When a whistle is blown, the two teams charge toward the soccer ball and one team tries to score on the other. However, where normal soccer is basically non-con-tact, Hamster Soccer Ball is just the opposite–the more contact the better and there are often thunderous colli-
Marc Garneau school introduces Hamster Soccer Ball
sions where one contestant will go rolling backwards until they regain control and get back on their feet.
Ms. Brisson originally heard about the sport from her brother, who works at the University of Quebec and who called her one day and told her how hilarious and exciting the game was.
She followed up by begin-ning to research the sport and found a supplier in China.
“I presented the project to my school principal and she loved it,” Ms. Brisson said.
Having introduced the sport to the area, Marc Gar-neau now hopes to inspire other schools to buy the
equipment so they can eventu-ally have an inter-scholastic competition.
“It’s a very demanding and exhausting sport,” she indi-cated. “It is a total workout and the kids love it! At first, they
wanted to bump each other and have fun, but it does not take long before they get into the competition mode and they begin trying to score goals on their competition.”
The sport can be played in-
side or outside, she said, and the shorter you are, the harder it is to play, but everyone has fun.
“It’s totally safe and you feel like a kid again. Yeah, I tried it!” she said with a laugh.
By Kate EversonNews - Quinte West - Council has approved a $20.5-million capital budget for the city.
“There will be no direct in-crease on the tax rate,” promised David Clazie, director of Corpo-rate and Financial Services.
He said the money will be paid out of reserves and debt financing. The council autho-rized secure debt financing of $11,475,000.
“Our plan in the future may be with other options,” Clazie added. “We are well within what we can afford.”
The only cut to the proposed budget was postponing the build-ing of soccer pitches next to city
hall, taking out $300,000 and leaving in $40,000 for landscap-ing after the marina is built.
“We have to do large projects in phases,” noted Mayor Jim Harrison. “There is a chance we will get a grant.”
The majority of the capital budget was $7 million set aside for Public Works which is build-ing a new consolidated structure. Other costs were $1.2 million in corporate facilities and arenas, $1.26 million in corporate fi-nance and parking, $665,000 for Protective Services, $2.9 million for water, $410,000 for wastewa-ter and $7.4 million carried for-ward for new projects.
The capital plan is financed
from $4.5 million in capital re-serves, $2.5 million in federal gas tax, $1.2 million in provin-cial funding, $3.75 in city debt, $603,000 in water reserves, $440,000 in sewer reserves and $4.2 million in sewer debt.
“The reserves all fall within the city’s ten-year capital plan for use of the capital reserve,” Cla-zie noted, “as do the water and sewer reserves which fall within the current rate structure in place for water and sewer.”
In addition, the debt financing for the city, water and sewer all fall within the city’s borrowing capacity and the financing of this debt falls within the city’s capital plan.

By Kate EversonNews - Quinte West - As work con-tinues on the marina, city staff are beginning to look at the two soccer pitches nearby.
“The city had an existing ten-year lease agreement with Trenton Cold Storage [TCS] for the construction and use of two soccer fi elds [known as the City Fields] directly beside city hall,” reports Chris Angelo, director of Public Works and Environmental Services.
That lease agreement expires at the end of 2015. Staff had included $340,000 in this year’s capital budget for the rebuilding of these two soccer fi elds as both were impacted from the construction of the marina.
“In all of staff’s discussions with TCS, it was noted that a lease agree-

By Kate EversonNews - Quinte West - The Corporate and Financial Services committee has approved the ice rental rate of $25.50 per hour for the Hockey for Life Edu-cation program.
Bob Forder, manager of buildings and facilities, told the committee that the program is a Ministry of Education approved physical education credit for for students. The program is open to all students but there is a $250 fee for participation. Students who cannot af-ford the fee are still to be given the op-portunity to participate.
“The schools cannot sustain this program without support,” he said.
Quinte West has two high schools that offer the program. Its ice rental fee is currently $71.70 plus HST. The new rate would mean a discount of $46.20 per hour over 50 hours for a total impact of $2,310 per school, or $4,620 in total.
Sally Freeman asked if this would set a precedent. Forder said other schools are already offering this dis-count and Quinte West is the last to come on board.
Duncan Armstrong asked if there was a special ice time for these pro-grams. Forder said it was a board pro-gram which includes on and off ice time including life skills.
The committee was also asked to approve the authorization of the Tren-ton Figure Skating Club jump harness to be installed at the Duncan MacDon-ald arena, subject to all costs being borne by the club.
Bob Forder noted the club is a not-for-profi t organization which has been teaching fi gure skating in Trenton for over 25 years. The club has ap-proached the city to have a jump har-ness installed to provide its skaters a proper teaching tool for jumps. It al-lows the coach to control the height of
the jump, while still allowing a safe and controlled landing for the skater. The harness would be fastened to the existing roof beams along the north-west width of the rink.
“Greer Galloway engineering has been approached to assist them with the proper design work,” added Forder. “This will ensure the harness will no way affect the beam or the structural integrity of the arena.”
The club is responsible for purchase and installation of the harness includ-ing maintenance and inspection. The harness would be put away safely.
Jim Harrison asked if the city would donate toward the purchase of the equipment. Forder said that would imply liability and they don’t want to get involved in that. He said the city has donated to the club, but not direct-ly to items like this.
“There’s liability no matter what we do,” Harrison said.
Trent Port Marina project includes two soccer pitches130 teams.
“In order to accommodate the de-mand, these fi elds are essential,” he said.
In a special council meeting on February 9, it was decided to hold off on the soccer pitches until 2016 and just put $40,000 into the budget this year for landscape.
“There’s no sense in putting it in the budget until 2016,” said Doug Whitney. “The trucks would just go over the fi eld.”
Rob MacIntosh was worried about
the lease agreement on the land. “I can’t agree with something like this,” he said. “The lease agreement should be done beforehand.”
CAO Charlie Murphy said the city would not spend the money until the lease agreement was in place.
Fred Kuypers said the city needs to speak to Eben James Junior about the lease fi rst.
Al DeWitt said they need to know how many soccer fi elds the city needs. He wondered if there was room in Centennial Park. “It would save mon-
ey on leased land,” he pointed out.Duncan Armstrong agreed they
should defer the soccer fi elds until next year.
Karen Sharpe suggested they make a site plan for Centennial Park to see if there is room for all the activities. Doug Whitney said it would be a shame to have the waterfront trail torn up.
“We need to get people involved in where to put it,” Whitney said.
Mayor Jim Harrison said, “It makes sense.”
Committee approves discount rates and skating harness
ment could be extended if council approved the construction of the two soccer fi elds,” Angelo said. “It was staff’s belief and that of TCS that the two soccer fi elds would be rebuilt as part of the Trent Port Marina project.”
The total completed project is es-timated at $340,000. This includes earthwork ($60,000), irrigation ($50,000) and grass playing surface ($60,000) for one fi eld (times two.)
Quinte West Soccer Association is facing challenges if the soccer fi elds are lost, Angelo adds.
“With the loss of two full-sized fi elds at city hall, there may be nega-tive impact forcing our local teams to play out of town and will result in loss of economic gains for the city,” he said. “Two full-sized fi elds had planned to be developed over the next
fi ve years to meet the needs of the organization.”
Angelo said the soccer asso-ciation is already renting fi elds reg-ularly from Bay-side Secondary School, Mary-Anne Sills park in Belleville, St. Paul Secondary and Trenton High School. They have been host-ing a popular soc-cer tournament every year called the Cameron Me-morial with over

SINCE 1974
By Kate EversonNews - Quinte West - Sidney Coun-cillor Don Kuntze has requested the city’s $2.4 million in reserves to be designated to Sidney Ward.
“He wants us to consider what to use it for,” said Karen Sharpe, chair of the Corporate and Financial Services committee.
Doug Whitney asked how Sidney had ended up with the money, and said Trenton has put a lot of money into its roads.
Jim Harrison said the money came from the sale of the property on Bell Boulevard to Belleville. There was a possibility of development and the city of Belleville could put in infra-structure for a racetrack and casino.
“There’s no race track yet,” he added.
“I hope we can work together as a council and a city,” Harrison added. “Kuntze can work with any number of councillors. I don’t see why we need to divide and conquer. We are all in this together and we should work to-
gether. We don’t want it to divide us.”Sally Freeman said they brought
this up in budget discussions and agreed this is Sidney Ward’s money.
“Anything in the community is good for all of us,” she said. “We don’t need a committee to decide this.”
David Clazie agreed they do not need to create a formal committee but can just get recommendations from councillors to formalize a decision.
Karen Sharpe said she would take this information back to Kuntze.
Doug Whitney asked when this agreement was made. Harrison said it was three years into amalgamation. Whitney asked why the money should go to Sidney. Harrison said it was part of the agreement.
“We agreed as a council to designate a reserve for Sidney Ward,” Harrison said. “It would not all be one chunk, but could support any roadwork or anything in Sidney Ward. I had the impression it would go to a Splashpad in Montrose that would benefit every-one.”
By Dan ClostO&S #1
At the time of writing this, it is snow-ing. It has snowed every second day for almost a week and a half. A good bit of work time has been devoted to pushing snow from here to there. My weekly squash match has been cancelled be-cause my playing partner is out plowing snow.
I’m not complaining. For a while I was concerned that the
drought of December and January would carry through to the spring. I wasn’t worried overly much about the moisture the snow represented but I was anxious that we wouldn’t be getting the insulat-ing protection for our gardens. A snow-less winter is tough on perennials and any shallow-rooted shrub or tree such as rhododendrons or cedars. So, I’m happy to say that this shouldn’t be a problem. Thank you, O Great Snow Maker In The
Sky. But … umm … we have enough, so you can take a break now.O&S #2
In spite of O&S #1, you may notice that you have a few bare spots on your estate where the snow is not accumulat-ing. Perhaps it is alongside a long fence or between houses where a wind tunnel is created or maybe it is on the lee side of a tall house or shed; a snow shadow so to speak. If you happen to have gar-dens or even lawn in those areas, now is a good time to address the situation. You want to cover up the exposed ground so that the late winter/early springs don’t initiate a freeze-thaw cycle.
If you have a snow shadow, then like-ly you also have a drift of snow close by; simply shovel the snow over to the bare side. In the case of a wind tunnel, it’s probable that the wind might blow away the snow so you need to put something down to either hold the snow or block

The Good Earth: Odds & sods 2the sun. Do you still have your Christ-mas tree stuck in the yard? (Ours is actu-ally stuck in the back of my pickup. We took it out of the house on a very warm Sunday with the intention of moving it to the chipper pile at work on Monday. That evening, the temps plummeted and the tree is frozen to the bed along with several inches of ice. Good news, I have good weight for better traction; bad news, I’m driving around town with a Christmas tree in the back and it is just a titch embarrassing.) I digress. You can chop up your tree and lay the branches over top of the bare spots. This is espe-cially good for the rhodos. There are two other choices you can make if this is an ongoing situation. You can slowly build up the mulch layer so that it provides the protection or you can redesign that particular area and transplant what is al-ready there.O&S #3
I asked folks in last week’s column to let me know if their organisation was running a bus to Canada Blooms. Within minutes of pressing the send button I re-
ceived a query from Linda Holmes. I felt like Agent 86 when I wrote back to her saying, “Missed it by that much, Chief.” So, here is Linda’s message: Once again the Tweed and District Horticultural Society will be organizing a bus trip to Canada Blooms and the National Home Show in Toronto on Friday, March 13. Price is $65, which includes admission to both show and motor coach. We have pick-ups in Tweed and Belleville. For more info contact Linda at 613-478-6850 or <[email protected]>.O&S#4
The bee issue is heating up folks. I am disturbed by two factors. The first is, I am very sorry to say, the apparent lack of balanced reporting of this issue in the newspapers and online. For the folks writing blogs and opinions online, I believe that is fair game; I would only ask that you look at the big picture. Part of that examination includes asking the question, “What comes next?” For example, if a com-plete ban on any
activity, and here the hot potato is pes-ticides, is enacted, what will be the out-come? Save the bees and lose the crops? More likely, it will be somewhere be-tween the two but would the results be acceptable? That’s not an easy question to answer. For the newspapers, however, there is a responsibility to explain the situation with representation from all stakeholders in such a manner that the reader can make an informed decision; or in a complex situation such as this, has been given an avenue for more research. That can be tough to do, especially with an emotionally charged issue, but that is why they are reporters.
The second is our seeming inability to accept responsibility that it just might be “us.” There is a lot of “us” clutter-ing up this good earth, and in the case of Ontario, most of us are where the bees are experiencing the most distress. One finger points out, four point back.

SPORTS
By Kate EversonSports - Quinte West - It was a nailbiter on Friday night, February 6, as the Trenton Golden Hawks beat the Burlington Cougars in an overtime goal, making it 5 - 4 for Trenton.
The Hawks extended their unbeaten streak to 16 games and edged out the league’s worst team Burling-ton Cougars.
There were 38 shots for Trenton and 29 for Burling-ton.
Brady Wiffen made three goals including the double overtime winner. Kevin Lavoie and Michael Siddall took the other two goals.
Assists went to Asselstine, Fargey and DeConcilys.Goalie Riley Brown started but was pulled after four
goals on 24 shots. Justin Kapelmaster replaced him and stopped five of five including a penalty shot in second overtime for the win.
Next up is Pink In The Rink Friday, February 13, at 7:30 p.m. at Duncan Memorial versus division rival Kingston Vees.
Sports - Every sport has its holy grail: the coveted prize at the end of a long season of stepping-stones, defeating all comers to ultimately drink from the chalice. In Canadian Curling, it’s the Brier and the Scotties, and more recently, Olympic Gold. In the second tier, the Provincials, winners are rewarded with a promi-nent banner to display in their home clubs. That sets the stage for the competition held at the Trenton Curling Club this past weekend.
The Best Western Inter-mediate Competition begins with the winners of 16 Zone competitions advancing to one of four Regional finals. The top men’s and women’s
teams then advance to the Provincial Championship to be held at the Walkerton Golf and Curling Club March 4 to 7. The Regional format con-sists of a double knockout completion: win two games to go to the A division or win one game and be placed in the B division. Elimination play continues until there are two teams left in each division. The A winners play each other for a pass to the Provincials. The losers of the A Division then play the winners of the B Division for the second Pro-vincial spot. These last two draws treated the spectators to some excellent curling.

Dave Collyer (Quinte Curling Club) by a score of 9 - 6 for the first Provincial spot. Cheryl McBain (also Rideau Curl-ing Club) handed Kerry McCue (Tren-ton Curling Club) a lop-sided defeat of 10 - 4. In both cases, the scores were not indicative of the level of play, as each team confirmed that curling is indeed a game of inches.
Collyer went on to play Dwayne Lowe (Huntley Curling Club, Carp) in a game that saw two blank ends and was decided on skips rocks. With one down in the tenth, Collyer needed a hit and stick to play an extra end but threw wide, yielding the second Provincial spot to Lowe. In the game for the sec-ond women’s spot, McCue regained her mojo against Corole Fujimoto (Rideau Curling Club). Leading 10 - 7 in the tenth, McCue ran Fujimoto out of rocks
for the win. It’s been a long drought since the
last banner came to the Trenton Curl-ing Club. We wish our ladies the best of luck in the finals and look forward to you bringing home the banner. Thanks go to Tom Allore and Mel Harder, our OCA reps for organizing this spiel. Neil Harder, icemaker supreme, kept the ice challenging throughout the weekend, while Liz Griffiths compiled up-to-the-minute results on the OCA web site.

Sports - Quinte West - Tren-ton Golden Hawks captain Ty-ler Donaldson has confirmed his commitment to joining the SUNY Potsdam Bears beginning with the 2015-2016 SUNYAC season.
Tyler Donaldson is a fifth-year OJHL player who has achieved his dream with an NCAA scholarship. The hard-working Trenton, Ontar-io, native first played in the league as a 16-year-old affiliate with his hometown Hawks back in 2009-
2010 out of the Quinte Red Devils Midget AAA program. The fol-lowing year, he made the fulltime jump to Junior A hockey in Tren-ton, where he spent the next season and a half before a trade saw him moved to Peterborough to join the Stars midway through 2011-2012. That summer, the Stars merged with the nearby Lindsay Musk-ies and it was off to join his third OJHL club in three seasons.
Donaldson spent the full season
in Lindsay, finally notching his first junior goal, while posting career highs of nine goals and 21 points in 55 regular season contests. The now seasoned veteran returned home to the Golden Hawks that summer and last year was one of the club’s offensive catalysts, once again setting career best totals with 21 goals and 47 points in 53 games to finish sixth on the team in scoring during the regular season. A leader both on and off the ice,
Donaldson was named the Hawks captain entering this season and has not disappointed. While his offensive output is down slightly, the pint-sized, but gritty, forward has led Trenton once again to the top of the OJHL standings, fighting with the Aurora Tigers for a second regular season title in three years.
Congratulations to Tyler and best of luck as he closes out a lengthy and memorable OJHL ca-reer.

Great week for Batawa racers
Sports - The U16 Batawa Bandits competed in their fourth Alpine On-tario race of the season. On Saturday, February 7, they raced a Giant Sla-lom course at Georgian Peaks in Col-lingwood. The fresh snow made for a tough course and caused difficulties for many racers. Eric Cholasta, lead-ing the Batawa team, held strong on the course finishing in an impressive fourth place with a time of 1:04.27. Other male racers from Batawa finish-ing in the top 30 included Taylor Rus-sett 15th , Patrick Burchat 27th and Craig Luery 30th.
Leading the girls’ team was Mirisha Russett with an 18th place finish in a time of 1:08.62. Hannah Merjavec 24th and Megan McLean 29th showed consistency in their two runs to finish in the top 30 as well.
Other Batawa U16 racers with two clean runs at Georgian Peaks in-cluded Shawn McMurter, Hope Saun-ders, Margaret Pedersen, and Jaclyn Manderville.
The U16 team will travel to Beaver Valley (southwest of Collingwood) on February 28 for an Alpine Ontario Slalom race.

Al Qaeda prisoner came close to killing Campbellford couple ten years ago
Campbellford retiree Jim Nixon and his wife Sue narrowly escaped being killed in a terrorist attack on an Amman hotel in Jordan ten years ago that killed 27 people attending a local wedding. Memories of that horrific experience have returned with recent news reports about one of the Islamic militants who took part in the suicide mission but failed to detonate her explosives. Photo: John Campbell
By John CampbellNews - Campbellford - The drama re-cently played out in the Middle East, with the Islamic State demanding the release of an Al Qaeda prisoner on death row in exchange for not killing a cap-tured Jordanian air pilot, has revived horrific memories for a Campbellford couple.
Jim and Sue Nixon were at the hotel in Amman in November 2005 when the female militant, Sajida al-Rishawi, took part in a suicide mission with her husband that killed 27 guests in a local wedding party. He detonated his explosive vest, but she failed despite repeated attempts–and the Nixons and other members of their church are alive today as a result.
“We wouldn’t be here,” if she had succeeded, said Jim Nixon, who was willing to talk about the tragic events of that day ten years ago, when he and his wife, along with others on a nine-day Biblical tour of Israel and Jordan, were having supper the night before they were to return home to Shelburne.
“It would have killed everyone” in the lounge where they were seated, said the 71-year-old retiree, who moved to Campbellford with his wife three years ago.
Nixon had left his group to take a vase he had purchased to the couple’s 11th floor hotel room for safekeeping. He had just entered the room when suddenly there was “a horrendous explosion,” he said, and “the whole building shook.”
Fearing the worst, he quickly returned to the ground floor and when the elevator door opened, he saw “all Please see “Campbellford” page B3
kinds of horrible things,” with bodies everywhere and people “running around screaming”–but no sign of his wife.
“She didn’t know where I was and I didn’t know where she was.”
He returned to the hotel room hoping to find her there but it was empty.
“Now my heart is coming right out of my chest, so down I go again,” Nixon said.
He thought he saw her across the room, but when he raced over there, he discovered it was another woman, her “eyes wide open” and “the top of her head was gone.”
In a panic he continued his search when a member of the tour group came running into the room to tell Nixon his wife was safe outside and to leave the building immediately, because “there might be another bomb.”
While out on the street, they heard another explosion in the distance; it was at another U.S.-based hotel, one of three that suicide bombers attacked that day, killing at least 57 people.
The tour group flew out of Jordan the next day after being escorted to the airport by police.
Two weeks later, Nixon was preparing to sing at a church in Bramalea as a member of a group, and “every person that came in, I’m watching them to see if they had a suitcase.”
The tragedy of a decade ago again came to mind last week for Nixon when it was reported Islamic State militants threatened to kill a Jordanian pilot it had captured in December if Rishawi wasn’t released within 24 hours.

Jamboree partnering with resort in country music showdown
By Bill FreemanEntertainment - Havelock - Have you got what it takes to per-form on the Havelock Country Jamboree’s famous twin stages?
One lucky artist will get that chance through The Next
Country Music Search, a country music talent showdown being presented by the Ranch Resort in Bethany and the Havelock Country Jamboree.
The contest takes over from the Havelock Country Music
Talent Showdown which was held in the village every summer and like its predecessor the Next Country Music Star winner will get a showcase gig on the stage during the 26th annual Havelock Country Jamboree.
The contest will run over a series of Saturday evenings kicking off February 21 and running until the end of March with the fi nals scheduled through April.
Each night’s winner will advance to the semi-fi nal round; three wild card choices will also be selected from the fi rst round by the judges and audience to move on to the semi-fi nals.
The resort is thrilled to provide the showcase for undiscovered talent, says Jane Doidge.
“The partnership was really a bless-ing of good timing,” Doidge says. “The Ranch Resort was interested in devel-oping a winter entertainment series that could promote new talent and give people a chance to enjoy and evening of good music, good food and good times. We had offered a similar talent search three years ago in a series of summer concerts and felt this could be success-fully done again during our colder win-ter season.”
The resort’s owner, Nick Angelo, approached the Jamboree this past fall with the idea of a winter series focusing on emerging country music talent and the Jamboree agreed to offer the winner of The Next Country Music Star talent show a spot in the 2015 lineup.
There will be fi ve performances each Saturday night during the preliminary round starting February 21 and Doidge says audience input will be an “impor-tant factor” in the judging decision. Dur-ing the two weeks of semi-fi nal concerts
CCN encourages the public to open their hearts
News - Northumberland - In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, Community Care Northumberland (CCN) hopes the public will open their hearts to local seniors or adults with disabilities by volunteering some time in their Friendly Visiting program.
“Friendly Visiting volunteers offer companionship and conversation to people who live alone,” said Trish Baird, executive director of CCN.
“Volunteers often take our clients out for walks in nice weather, read, play cards, board games or other social activities that are of interest to both them and the client.”
One of the CCN clients spoke about the program.
“Having a friendly visitor allows me to sometimes get out into the community as I need an arm because I am unsteady on my feet. My friendly visitor and I have taken the town transit and gone to the mall; walked along the boardwalk at the beach and sometimes we just stay at my home and have a cup of tea and a chat.”
The friendly visiting program works
through matches. The CCN program staff match
volunteers with clients based on their common interests. The volunteer then arranges the visits with their matched client.
The commitment is only a few hours a week and at their mutual convenience and location. Visits can occur in the client’s home or for example, a trip to a local coffee shop.
Clients are individuals in the community who could benefi t from one-on-one company and companionship. If you have patience, with a caring and pleasant personality, with just a few hours to spare, you can make a difference in someone’s life in your community.
For more information about this volunteer opportunity, please contact your local Community Care Northumberland offi ce: Brighton - 613-475-4190; Campbellford - 705-653-1411; Cobourg - 905-372-7356; Colborne - 905 - 355-2989; Hastings - 705-696-3891; Port Hope - 905-885-9860.
four performers will appear each night with the two win-ners advancing to the fi nal.
The contestants will have to perform at least two origi-nal pieces in their 30-minute sets.
They’re still fi nalizing the judging panel, says Doidge, but it will include a variety of industry professionals, a representative from the Have-lock Jamboree and Ranch Re-sort owner Nick Angelo who has over 50 years of industry experience, opening for The Beatles during their 1964 Montreal Forum concert, as sound technician at Ontario place in the 1980s and as the
owner of the Guitar Boutique in Peterborough and Whitby.
Contestants in the fi rst round will receive an MP3 recorded version of their per-formance.
Audience tickets are avail-able in advance by calling the Ranch Resort at 705-277-1942 or can be purchased at the door for $10. The resort is also offering a $20 buffet dinner from 6 until 9 p.m. throughout the Next Country Music Search series.
More details on the com-petition and how to audition can be found on their website at <www.thenextcountrymu-sicstar.com>.

Westben hosts launch party for the 2015 season
Campbellford couple reliving
a horrible experience
Continued from page B1
One of the photos Sue Nixon took of a Jorda-nian wedding party included a partial view of the militant Islamic couple who entered the hotel on a suicide mission. The man in the background wearing a leather jacket det-onated his explosive vest but his wife, Sajida al-Rishawi, stationed at the opposite end of the room, was unable to detonate hers and has been in prison for the past decade.
The Islamic extremists carried out their threats to execute two Japanese citizens it held hostage, in retribution for Japan joining other nations in their fi ght against the Islamic State.
Seeing his would-be killer again in the news “brings back all the horribleness” for Nixon.
His wife prefers not to talk about it, “she doesn’t want to go over it again.”
Nixon said Rishawi “was supposed to be hung ten years ago.”
He supports the stance taken by governments who refuse to negotiate with terrorists who demand prisoner exchanges or make ransom demands.
“You don’t negotiate because once you do [they’re] going to keep doing that same thing,” he said. Governments have ‘to stick’ to their principles–‘don’t make deals.’”
Videos posted online appear to show the beheadings of the two Japanese hostages.
Al-Rishawi has since been executed as has the Jordanian pilot.

By Sue DickensNews - Campbellford - New tra-ditions was the theme of the 2015 season launch party hosted by Westben Arts Festival Theatre last Sunday.
A crowd of supporters joined Westben co-founders Brian Finley and Donna Bennett along with artists and entertainers at the Clock Tower Cultural Centre to learn more about what will be happening in this their 16th anniversary season.
“We are celebrating new traditions and there are three principal areas I want to take you through today sharing details of our performances at the barn, our summer music festival … and we also have a lot of new traditions developing here at the clock tower and new programming and opportunities to get the community involved,” said Finley, later talking about a new Jazz Fringe Festival as part of this year’s lineup.
“This new venue at the clock tower provides year-round opportunities for Westben and other arts groups in the area,” Finley explained.
For example, “Tick Talks at the Clock” for 2015 debuts with Happy Birthday Chopin on Sunday, March 1, at 2 p.m. at which Finley will perform some of Chopin’s most celebrated piano works and Barb Hobart will talk about the music and life of Chopin and in celebration of this composers’ birthday, there will be cake and refreshments.
Finley also talked about “Fiddler on the Roof” describing it as “A great community production coming up in June.” It is the season opener at The Barn from June 6 to 14.
The show’s director Edward Franko drove from Toronto, the day of the launch party, to be part of the celebration.
Finley provided highlights of what this season will offer such as a chance to join luthier and fi ddler Luke Mercier from Spring Brook for a fi ddle making workshop and package on June 13 at the Clock Tower Cultural Centre.
Canadian Tenor Adam Fisher who will be performing in the production Kings on Broadway, also drove from Toronto to participate in the launch party.
Among the entertainers for the afternoon of fun, food and music was Campbellford’s legendary musician Ken Tizzard, singer/songwriter and Westben regular who will be opening Westben’s jazz and world music series on June 19 with songs from his latest album No Dark No Light.
Esmerelda Wang-Acker, a Grade 5 student at Hillcrest School, who is in the Westben Instrumental Foundations program and Westben choirs, and is a talented piano player, performed for the crowd at the launch party.
Campbellford songstress Chelsey Bennett, who will be performing during the Westben Fringe - Jazz Jam on August 1, at the Clock Tower Cultural Centre, also gave the launch party crowd a sample of her talents.
As part of the theme of new traditions Westben will host a Chat & View Series–movies to be shown on Thursdays at the Aron Theatre.

Commodores launch “Navy Blues” student jazz band
Navy Blues’ trumpet section rehearsing for a Quinte Rotary Music Festival performance.
News - Seventeen Quinte-area student musicians, represent-ing schools across the region, are getting an extra-curricular fix of jazz orchestra perfor-mance as a result of a new project organized by the Com-modores’ Orchestra, the long-running Belleville-based big swing band.
Musicians in the newly-formed Quinte Youth Jazz Ensemble, or “Navy Blues,” come from Grades 6 to 12, ranging in age from 11 to 17. They’ve been rehearsing tradi-tional jazz like Benny Good-man’s Sing Sing Sing, all the way to Tower of Power’s What is Hip, and lots in between twice a month since Septem-ber. The plan is to perform in the Quinte Rotary Music Fes-tival, and in the Commodores’ May 14 concert to raise money for their Bruce Parsons Schol-arship Fund.
The QYJC is the brainchild of Commodores’ members Scott Mills and Blair Yarran-ton, instrumental music heads at Albert College and Centen-
nial Secondary School respectively.Mills says there’s nothing else like
it. “It’s a chance to put together some of the top musicians from many dif-ferent schools to work together in a collegial atmosphere to create great music. They get to perform challeng-ing music and develop their musical skills.”
Members of the Commodores of-
ten stop by at rehearsals to lend a hand. Mills says their experience can really help band members develop their skill level more quickly.
“What we’d really like is for this relationship to help develop a new crop of musicians to keep jazz and swing alive in the Quinte area. A lot of great musicians have built a pretty solid tradition around here.”

Belleville Downtown DocFest 2015 Ready to Reel at the library
Big and Rich, Corb Lund will light up Jamboree stage
Hugely entertaining Big & Rich featuring MuzikMafia pal Cowboy Troy have signed on to be part of the 26th annual Havelock Country Jamboree.
Multi-award winning Canadian performer Corb Lund will be part of the 26th annual Havelock Coun-try Jamboree.
Rising Canadian singer-songwriter Jack Connolly will perform at the 26th annual Havelock Country Jamboree.
Tanya Tucker is returning to perform at the 26th annual Havelock Country Jamboree.
heading north to the famous twin stages.Big Kenny and John Rich are more than
just the creators of the 2004 party anthem Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy), although they are certainly that but they bring with them plenty of songwriting cred with their work with performers like Martina McBride, Gretchen Wilson, Jason Aldean, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw along with their own five-album catalogue and explo-sive concert sound that will have the Jam-boree grounds jumping.
The duo and Cowboy Troy will hit the stage August 15 along with Canadian stars Gord Bamford and Corb Lund; the multi-award winning Lund, seven times roots artist or group of the year at the CCMAs, recently signed on for a return to the Jam-boree and will be part of a Saturday pro-gram that includes The Good Brothers and American rock legend John Cafferty and The Beaver Brown Band.
The Jamboree is also welcoming Tanya Tucker back to Havelock along with rising
Canadian star Jack Connolly. Uncle Sean and the Shifty Drifters, a lively surprise last year, return for a Saturday gig. Tucker is on stage Friday, August 14, joining country star Clint Black, Joe Diffie and the always-popular Mustang Sally; Connolly will ap-pear Sunday, August 16, along with Gram-my Award winner Rhonda Vincent.
Kicking off this year’s Jamboree August 13 will be Canadian stars Brett Kissel and Ambush and iconic Canadian rockers The Stampeders.
Big & Rich are touring behind their fifth album, Gravity, which has received plenty of strong reviews for the way it balances a more mature, polished sound with the in-delible raucousness that lifted up their de-but album Horse of a Different Colour ten years ago. Fans are in for a treat in Havelock when the duo and their rapper pal Cowboy Troy fill the stage.
For ticket and camping information call the Jamboree at 1-800-539-3353 or visit <www.havelockjamboree.com>.
Events - The Belleville Public Library is proud once again to be a primary DocFest partner and one of four screen-ing locations for Belleville Downtown DocFest’s fourth annual International Documentary Film Festival. DocFest runs from Friday, February 27, to Sun-day, March 1. Screenings will be at the Empire Theatre, the CORE Centre, Pin-nacle Playhouse and at the library. The festival will feature over 50 outstanding films celebrating life and human dignity around the world and right here at home, including 15 locally produced documen-taries.
The tremendously popular DocFest Opening Gala at The Empire Theatre is on Friday, February 27, at 7 p.m. and launches with the documentary, Keep On Keepin’ On. The film recently won the Cinema Eye Honors Audience Choice Award. Shot over the course of five years by filmmaker Alan Hicks, the film depicts the remarkable story of now 94-year-old jazz legend Clark Terry and pianist Justin Kauflin. Terry was a mentor to Miles Davis and played in both Count Basie’s and Duke Ellington’s bands. Keep On Keepin’ On highlights Terry’s friendship with the preternaturally gifted Justin Kauflin, a blind, 28-year-old piano prodigy. Quincy Jones, who also counts Clark Terry as his mentor, came on board as producer of the film after discovering Kauflin’s talent by chance during a visit at Terry’s home. Jones’ career spans six decades in the entertainment industry and he holds a record 79 Grammy Award nominations.
Kauflin is taking the jazz world by storm and his first performance on Canadian soil will follow the Gala screening of this breakout documentary
at the Empire Theatre. The DocFest Organizing Committee is thrilled that Kauflin is adding Belleville to his roster which includes performances at Jazz a Vienne, Montreaux Jazz Festival and honours such as VEER Magazine’s Jazz Artist of the Year.
A couple of highlights from the inspiring documentaries that will be screened at the Belleville Public Library are: Finding Vivian Maier, a 2015 Academy Award Nominee, presents an intriguing story tracing the life of the late Vivian Maier, a career nanny whose previously undiscovered cache of 100,000 photographs has earned her a posthumous reputation as one of America’s most accomplished and insightful photographers. Crawford: Family of Champions, directed by local filmmaker Aaron Bell, tells the story of Floyd Crawford who moved to Belleville in the 1950s and started a tradition of success that helped shape the future of his new community. Floyd became the captain of the World Hockey Champion Belleville McFarlands.

According to recent studies, approximately 20% of North Americans suffer from a sleep problem. Problems with sleep affect both men and women of every race, age, and socioeconomic class. Although lack of sleep appears to be a benign problem, its effects are far reaching. One of the major causes of sleep deprivation is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA is a complete cessation of breathing during sleep for at least 10 seconds. It affects men more than women and particularly individuals between the ages of 40 to 60. If OSA is left untreated, it can lead to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, arrhythmias, as well as sleep-deprived motor vehicle accidents.
The symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea include:
• Intermittent snoring • Poor memory • Excessive daytime sleepiness • Irritability • Headaches • GERD
Risk factors for obstructive sleep apnea include:
• Increasing age • Obesity
• Family history • Male gender • Alcohol use • Smoking • High blood pressure • Asthma
You might be asking yourself, “So how does my dentist come into play with obstructive sleep apnea?” Well, aside from the above mentioned symptoms of OSA, there are several oral manifestations of obstructive sleep apnea that can be seen by your dentist that may help in the detection of OSA. These symptoms include:
• Enlarged scalloped tongue • Pain on palpation of the jaw joints • Jaw joint sounds when opening or closing the mouth • Crowding of teeth • Wear patterns on teeth
Because of the widespread prevalence of OSA and the fact that it remains largely undiagnosed in the general population, it is increasingly important that you are screened by your dentist or family doctor so that the treatment process can begin in a timely manner. Next time, we will discuss how OSA is treated and how your dentist can play a huge role in helping you get better sleep.

By John M. SmithLifestyles - A visit to Peru, for almost anyone, will include a trip to Machu Picchu, the coun-try’s most popular tourist attrac-tion and, indeed, it’s defi nitely “a must.” After all, it’s one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. However, another Peru “must see,” in my opinion, is Lake Titicaca, which is located high up in the Andes, on the border of Peru and Bolivia. By volume of water, Lake Titicaca is the largest lake in all of South America, and it’s considered to be the highest navigable lake in the world, at an elevation of more than 12,000 feet (almost 4,000 metres).
I began my visit to Lake Titicaca at the city of Puno, which is located in southeast-ern Peru, right on the shore of the lake, and surrounded by the nearby mountains. A boat trip from Puno soon took me to the nearby and fascinating fl oating reed islands of the Uros Indians. This group of is-lands is home to the pre-Incan Uros, and they have built these islands, and re-built them, and lived on them for many gen-erations. The islands are made out of totora reeds that grow in this area, and their dense roots support the top layer of these man-made islands. The reeds will rot, of course, so it’s important to regularly stack new reeds on top of the layers that lie beneath. Therefore, the building of these islands is an
ongoing thing, and eventually the islands are simply replaced by the building of a new reed island.
I met Walter, the leader of one of the smaller islands, home to fi ve families, and he explained the island-building process very well, using a model for demonstration pur-poses. I learned that such an is-land takes about a year to build, but this timeline can certainly vary because of the size of the island being created (depend-ing on the number of people living there). The islands are anchored by ropes attached to stakes that are driven into the bottom of the shallow bay, for these reed islands are protected within the Bay of Puno. I also learned that such an island may last about 30 years, if properly maintained.
As I walked around one of these fascinating reed islands, I could feel my feet sinking, at times, for the reeds are very soft and “squishy.” It’s a rather bizarre experience, and I won-dered if I might just simply disappear right into the reeds and end up in the lake. This sensation certainly helped me to understand the importance of regularly adding new reed layers.
These island dwellers live in houses built of reeds, too, and I was able to check out the interiors of some of these for myself. Cooking takes place outside, on a layer of stones, to

protect the reeds. While visiting another one of these islands, I found a store (made of reeds), where some supplies could be purchased, and I also found some small dwellings that were being used for over-night accommodations for tourists at a cost of less than $10. However, tourists won’t fi nd a lot of “modern conveniences” in these abodes, and they’ll probably have to go by boat to another nearby island to fi nd a tiny “outhouse island” where the ground root absorbs the waste. Also, there’s the cold, the wind, and the sun to deal with, and that’s why most locals still dress in traditional clothing, in layers. Many of the women still dress in full skirts, woolly tops, and wear a distinctive derby-style hat, after all, the sun can burn fi ercely at this altitude, and it can get rather chilly at night. Most of the women are expert knit-
ters, and the majority of the men are both fi shermen and weavers. They sell their crafts/creations to the visiting tourists now (via bartering), and they sell their fi sh on the mainland. The increasing tourism has certainly benefi ted the Uros in a fi nancial way, but it has also made it more diffi cult to maintain their traditions. I found, for example, that some of these islands now have solar panels, to run televisions, etc., and some of their reed boats, which are built by the men, now have motors.
I was told that a basic reed boat takes about eight months to build, and about 4,000 empty plastic bottles are used to help with the fl oatation. However, many of the larger, fancier boats would take even longer to complete. While visiting these reed islands, I was able to actually board one of these man-made boats, and I
even took a turn at paddling.Another of my favourite ex-
periences while visiting these fl oating reed islands was simply watching the local school chil-dren waiting for their “school bus.” It’s, of course, actually a boat, and it was very interesting to simply witness the young-sters boarding the boat for a ride
to school, located on a neigh-boring island. I also learned that these youngsters would eventu-ally leave these islands to attend high school on the mainland, and many of them would then decide to stay there.
