“Over 60 years experience”

COMPLETE PROPANE SERVICE

By Kate EversonNews - Quinte West - On a hot summer day you can al-ways fi nd a cool place to visit inside the National Air Force Museum of Canada on RCAF Road. Not only is it air condi-tioned, but it has a lot of cool things to see.

“We are in the middle of renovations,” explained cura-tor Kevin Windsor. “All the artefacts and memorabilia will

be moved to the mezzanine and the current museum space will be used for a gift shop and stor-age.”

With over 3,500 pieces to deal with, it is an ongoing proj-ect.

Results outlinedBy Kate EversonNews - Quinte West - A mayor’s breakfast at city hall on June 26 outlined the results of a survey of busi-nesses in downtown Trenton and revealed what was good and bad in the city.

“There were some red fl ag issues,” acknowledged Libby Smith, Terra Consulting, “af-fecting business develop-ment.”

She said half the businesses in downtown Trenton get less than 100 customers a week. However, many are starting to use the Internet and attract-ing more customers through web sites and social media.

The lack of parking was

raised as an issue as well as empty store fronts. Some said the farmers’ market takes away needed parking spaces.

“There is a historic stigma that this is a blue collar, have-not city,” she added.

Chuck O’Malley, chair of the city’s Business Retention and Expansion sub-commit-tee, said 27 per cent of cus-tomers come from outside the area and they need to grow that.

“We are working with Eight Wing to ensure their retail and service needs are met,” he said. “We are also identifying the needs of young families.”

the Halifax will be lifted up to the mez-zanine on the second floor.

“They will just lift it up on a crane,” she said. “The mezzanine is reinforced to hold a lot of weight.”

Currently, the main floor is taken up primarily by the huge restored Halifax bomber. There are some other items alongside it, such as the cockpits of two jets for people to sit in.

“We came from New Hampshire here for a family visit,” said Richard Branch with his daughter Emily, six, trying out the controls in the cockpits. They were enjoying their visit to the museum.

Elizabeth Constantine had a cool ride out in the Air Park. She jumped in her golf cart and whipped around, check-ing out the grounds and welcoming people to the museum. She stopped at

the memorial for RCAF 1 Air Division with the names of 107 airmen who died flying the F-86 Sabre in the Cold War. Her husband was one of them, who went down in 1967. She pointed to his name on the marker.

“He was flying over water,” she said. “He was listed as missing.”

Constantine said the Sabre was Can-ada’s second fighter. The first was called the Vampire.

Constantine also pointed out two markers for women in the war. There were 17,000 women in the RCAF dur-ing the years between 1941 and 1946.

Other highlights were the maritime Argus and two T-133 jets, one with the Red Knight logo and the other Silver Star. There was also a Starfighter, some-times known as the “widow-maker.”

“The pilots started training on the Chipmunk and the Harvard, then they went to the Tudor jets,” Constantine said. Both aircraft are upstairs on the mezzanine.

The museum is open every day during the summer, free of charge. See <www.airforcemuseum.ca> for details.

izens Band, 413 Pipes and Drums and Hab-itat for Humanity Quinte West; the total of the donations amounted to over $5,000.

Beth Cleaton, pipe major for 413 Wing Pipes and Drums, said the band is growing and now has over 50 members. It celebrates its tenth anniversary this year and is excited about going to Scotland in two weeks to perform in parades and concerts.

Don Embury of the Trenton Citizens Band thanked the Rotary Club for its sup-port of live music in the community.

Larry Francis with Special Olympics for 14 years and head coach of bowling said the athletes are looking forward to the sum-mer program.

Len Kennedy, executive director of Hab-itat for Humanity Prince Edward Hastings,

said the next build will be an interclub event involving three Rotary Clubs including Trenton, Quinte Sunrise and Belleville. The build to start in December on Sidney Street in Trenton as a semi-detached home is still recruiting families for the selection process.

Information sessions on who can ap-ply for a Habitat home are happening at the YMCA of Quinte West on July 16 at 7 p.m. and July 19 at 11 a.m. Criteria in-clude being a resident of Prince Edward or Hastings County for the last year, a Cana-dian citizen or permanent resident, living somewhere that does not meet your fam-ily’s needs, steadily employed but can’t afford a conventional mortgage and are ready and able to contribute 500 hours of sweat equity to help build the home and

participate in other Habitat projects. Check out the web

site at <www.habitatpeh.org> or call 613-969-1415.

Mayor John Williams said, “Some people never change. We keep pounding away. It doesn’t happen overnight.”

He said the new marina and board-walk will mean a whole new waterfront which will attract people to the city and invest in the downtown. “It will be spec-tacular,” he said.

He added it is frustrating to wait four or five years for MOE approvals when everything is lined up.

MPP Lou Rinaldi commented, “Peo-ple don’t see what they have here. We need to make local residents more aware, to be ambassadors for their city.”

Jim Harrison said there are some ma-jor projects in the city such as the new wastewater and sewage plant that still have to be done. “We are looking for a lot of money, Lou,” he said.

He added that the police station needs to expand and the fire station made more struc-

O’Malley said storefront appearanc-es have improved with incentives and funding from Trenval and banks. The new waterfront development will in-clude cultural development such as live music, artisans, street performers and unique retail and restaurant activity.

He said the DBIA needs to encourage extended hours that are more convenient to shoppers. Suzanne Andrews, manager of the Chamber of Commerce, said there is a lot of community pride in the city. “We see a lot of visitors and new resi-dents who rant about how beautiful it is,” she said. “We need to see it through their eyes.”

turally sound. With new construction in Batawa, that fire station will have to be relocated. A new RCAF Road round-about is coming soon and there is a new streetscape in Frankford.

Mayor John Williams concluded, “There is a lot going on.”

Maureen Piercy, president of Loyalist College, added they make their students aware of what a wonderful area the Quinte region is. Mayor Williams said, “You mean Quinte West?”

He thanked the organizers for a fan-tastic job and said they need to “just keep going.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor,When my local Member of

Parlia ment, Rick Norlock, was seeking election, he and his

party constantly repeated the phrase that a vote for them was a vote for jobs, the economy and long-term prosperity. Silly me, I

thought that was what they were going to do for us. It now appears that they meant that they would take those things away from us.

CON’d againInstead of fi ghting for us, our MP is trying to bully us into accepting a one-lane bridge over the Murray Canal. He doesn’t seem to understand that a one-lane bridge will cost us jobs, hurt our economy, and limit the long-term prosperity of the area.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the prob-lem, some senior civil ser-vants in Parks Canada, with the support of our MP, have embarked on a project to re-place our two-lane bridge with a single lane bridge and traffi c lights. Unbeliev-

ably, they claim that they are replacing what we have now, a two-lane bridge, “in kind” with a one-lane bridge the same width. Unfortunately, they say the code has changed since our present bridge was built and it is now too nar-row to be a two-lane bridge. Also, they say that there’s no money to widen our bridge because they have to pay off the defi cit. A defi cit which they caused, by the way.

They are also using scare tactics tell-ing us that the bridge is no longer struc-turally safe. Yet they have not backed up their claim with any analysis or en-gineering information despite repeated requests to do so.

Mr. Norlock also claims that only a small group of unhappy malcontents are complaining. Has he forgotten that the municipal councils of the three largest communities in the area affected have also sent letters opposing the plan?

Three large businesses: Brighton Speedway, Brighton Recycling and the Barcovan Golf Club will be directly af-fected by the reduced traffi c fl ow, as will many other smaller businesses in the area. Responding emergency vehicles will also be affected. Finally, this route is also a main artery leading to many tourist attractions in Prince Edward County.

Conveniently enough, the borders of this riding will be changing under the new riding distribution system and Mr. Norlock, by his own admission, has chosen to run in an adjacent riding, leav-ing this mess behind him.

C’mon Mr. Norlock, we dare you to show us the strength of your convictions and to run in this riding, or are you more concerned about your own job, your own economics, and your own long-term prosperity?

Bob Larocque,Brighton

OPINION

Gwynne Dyer

By Terry BushBest place to live on the planet, eh

Editorial - It should surprise no one that most of us consider Canada the greatest country in the world, even folks who have never set foot outside the province. We are so fortunate to live in a country like Canada, that we take our freedoms, healthcare, natural resources and of course our variable climate for granted. Others are nowhere near as lucky as we are in this country and sometimes it just takes a bit of travel to realize this.

My wife Mare and I have been fortunate enough to have travelled to quite a few destinations; you might call travelling on the cheap, “our thing.” It’s on these voyages that we really find out how lucky we are and what the world thinks of us. When you see the abject poverty that most of the world deals with, it makes coming home that much easier. But it’s other folks who really drive it home; how fortunate we are to be Canadians.

When we backpacked through Morocco 15 years ago, we were at a stage in our travelling lives when we really liked to wing it. Ticket there, ticket home and nothing else booked. It was a bit hairy at times, especially trying to find a room for the night but we always managed and just considered it part of the adventure.

When we took the Marrakesh Express to you know where and made it into the old city, it was indeed one of those somewhat disconcerting occasions. As we went from hotel to hotel, it was impossible not to see how the other half lived. Straw mattresses on dirt floors posed as hotel rooms for a couple of bucks a night. We were feeling quite extravagant after our gruelling overnight trip so we looked for something pricey in the $10 range. We thought we’d found what we were looking for at a nice place (it’s all relative) but the stern-looking man behind the desk said he had no rooms. His face said something different so we pulled out our Canadian passports and in French said we were from Canada, not where he thought we were from.

It took him all of two seconds to come around the desk with a big smile on his face to shake our hands and said he did indeed have a room for us. He went on to say that his goal in life was to be able to send his daughter to university in Quebec as French is everyone’s second language in Morocco.

On the same trip we travelled along the French Riviera and stopped in Nice. It was there we met a teenage girl behind the hotel counter who upon seeing our passports, told us at great length about her fascination with Anne of Green Gables and her plans to one day visit Prince Edward Island. And if I’m not mistaken, she mentioned that she thought we might be Canadians when we came in because we were so polite.

Later on the same trip, we boarded a train from Germany to Holland and ran into a fellow Canuck who was working in the Netherlands. He told us to be prepared when we got off at our stop in Holland as people would come up to us when they saw the Canadian flags on our backpacks. We thought he was joking but sure enough within minutes of stepping off the train, an elderly Dutch gentleman walked up to us, extended his hand and said, “Thank you for liberating my country.”

When we flew into Istanbul on a different adventure, we left the airport and shared a taxi with a guy from New York City, eventually staying in the same hotel. When it was time to check out, the desk clerk apologized and said he couldn’t take credit cards at the moment because the phone line was down. Our American friend threw a fit in the hotel lobby, accusing the Russian clerk of lying. Grudgingly he paid with a traveller’s cheque and stormed out the door. We paid with cash as we always make sure we have the currency of the country we’re visiting on hand. I apologized for our new friend’s outburst and the clerk smiled and said, “Don’t worry about it. We know the difference between your two countries.”

When we travelled to New Zealand, people were extremely friendly. “We know what it’s like,” they’d say, “being a small country next to an overpowering one.”

And in Australia, they liked Canadians too. Being part of the Commonwealth and all, they felt we were connected to one another.

And, as I’ve already mentioned in a different column, we were once again proud of the country we live in when a cabbie in Nepal remarked that Canada was helping out his country and he was glad that human rights mattered to Canadians. Kind of makes a couple of travellers proud of where they’re from. And at the same time it makes you understand why some people from a neighbouring country, sew Canadian flags on their gear when they travel.

Canada is a word that opens many doors abroad. And that’s just one more reason to be a proud Canadian.

Editorial - “The opposi-tions in Hong Kong should u n d e r s t a n d and accept that Hong Kong is not an indepen-dent country. They should not think that they have the abil-ity to turn Hong

Kong into Ukraine or Thailand,” warned the Global Times, the most aggressively nationalistic of China’s state-run newspapers. Clearly, some important people in the Communist regime are very unhappy about the “civil referendum” on democracy that has just ended in Hong Kong.

The referendum, which has no official standing, was organized by pro-democracy activists in response to a “white paper” published by the Chinese government in mid-June that made it clear there could be no full democracy in Hong Kong. News about the referendum was completely censored in China, but almost 800,000 people in Hong Kong voted in it. They all said, “yes” to democracy.

The referendum was really a tactical move by Hong Kong’s pro-democracy camp in a long-running tug-of-war with Beijing over how the “Special Administrative Region” should be governed. The voters were asked to choose between three different options for choosing Hong Kong’s Chief Executive—and all of those methods involved popular participation. That is to say, democracy.

That’s not how the Chief Executive is chosen now. He is “elected” by a 1,200-person “Election Committee,” most of whose members are directly or indirectly chosen by the Chinese Communist authorities in Beijing and their local representatives.

That’s hardly democratic, but it is written into the “Basic Law” that was negotiated between London and Beijing before Britain handed the colony back in 1997.

The whole negotiation was a series of compromises between the British view that Hong Kong’s inhabitants should enjoy democratic rights, and the Chinese regime’s determination to have ultimate control of the city. One of those compromises was a promise that by 2017, twenty years after the hand-over, the Chief Executive would be chosen by direct elections.

So democracy was raising its ugly head again, and Beijing sought to head off the danger by publishing its recent white paper. There would indeed be direct elections in 2017, it said, but all the candidates would be selected by a “nominating committee” whose members would still be chosen, directly or indirectly, by Beijing—and all the candidates would have to be “patriotic.” In China, as in most dictatorships, “patriotic” means “loyal to the regime.”

The instant response in Hong Kong was the “civil referendum,” in which about 800,000 of Hong Kong’s 3.5 million registered voters have cast a vote in polling stations, online, or on a phone app.

Every one of those voters was voting for full democracy, since the referendum asked them to choose between three proposed methods for nominating candidates for Chief Executive, ALL of which involved direct public participation. And while 800,000 people is only a quarter of the adult population, it is almost half the number of people (1.8 million) who actually voted in the last elections for Hong Kong’s legislature.

The Global Times has denounced the referendum as an “illegal farce” and “a joke.” Hong Kong’s current chief Executive, Leung Chun-Ying, has loyally echoed Beijing’s view

that “Nobody should place Hong Kong people in confrontation with mainland Chinese citizens.” After all, “mainland Chinese citizens” have no democratic rights at all, and the Communist regime wants to keep it that way.

But it doesn’t have to be a confrontation. As part of the “one country, two systems” deal that was negotiated with Britain 20 years ago, Beijing has already accepted that Hong Kong would enjoy “a high degree of autonomy, except in foreign and defence affairs” for the next 50 years. That includes the rule of law and civil rights like freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, free media and so on.

Mainland Chinese citizens do not have those rights, and the example of Hong Kong has not so far incited them to demand them. So why should a democratically elected Chief Executive in Hong Kong drive those 1.3 billion mainland Chinese citizens to demand democracy either?

Maybe the Chinese people will demand democracy eventually, but that is far likelier to come about as a result of a severe recession that destroys the Communist regime’s reputation for fostering high-speed economic growth, which is its sole remaining claim on their loyalty. It won’t come from some desire to emulate Hong Kong. So there is room for a deal between Beijing and Hong Kong that gives the latter more freedom, if everybody stays calm.

There are probably even people inside the Communist regime in Beijing who would welcome a demonstration in Hong Kong that a little more democracy for Chinese people does not necessarily lead to chaos, civil war and secession. (Which is, of course, what their hardline rivals constantly predict would be the inevitable result of diluting the dictatorship.)

News - Quinte West - Leslie Roseblade, 49, born and raised in Quinte West, is seeking a second term as Quinte West Councillor, Ward 1.

With 28 years of municipal experi-ence, the last three and a half as council-

lor for Quinte West Ward 1, I have the fi rst hand knowledge and professional-ism to keep Quinte West moving for-ward in a positive direction.

Four years ago I expressed the need to engage the youth vote in municipal

elections. Finally this year for the fi rst time the city will be offering on-line voting. I am hoping to reach out to the younger population via Facebook, Twit-ter and my web site to engage them in the election. We need to hear the ideas

and concerns of the youth population as they are the fu-ture of the city.

Council developed a very compre-hensive ten-year capital plan in 2010. Over the past four years Quinte West has been moving full steam ahead to imple-ment the plan keeping the tax increases to a minimum. The next six years of the plan identifi es some very important in-frastructure projects such as, a police station, fi re station and extensive work to the sewage treatment plant. I would

Leslie Roseblade seeking second term as councillor

like to continue being a voice and work-ing hard for the citizens of Quinte West to implement these projects.

The new marina project is currently under construction which is scheduled to open in spring 2015. I would like to see an aggressive marketing plan devel-oped to ensure that when it opens in the spring we meet the expectations of the business plan to ensure the marina is successful.

My objective for Quinte West is the Community fi rst approach, which means:

The needs of our families are put fi rst;

Making sure we think about the cost to you and your neighbours before de-velopment is approved;

Securing the future of our hospital;Make sure our water and sewer sys-

tems can handle the needs of a growing community;

Maintaining our Roads and build-ings;

Filling our newly revitalized down-town with prospering retail businesses;

Attracting business and industry to provide good paying jobs for the citi-zens of the community.

Follow me on Facebook and Twitter @leslieroseblade and visit my web site <www.leslieroseblade.com> for more information.

County municipalities told to be prepared for emerald ash borer

By Stephen [email protected] - Belleville - Beware the emerald ash borer.

That’s what Hastings County councillors were told in a delegation from David Smallwood of Quinte Conservation at their regular meeting last Thursday.

Smallwood, a forestry operations manager with the environmental organization, told councillors that the ash tree-killing insect is back this summer and municipalities should consider making a plan.

“Once it gets here it expands exponentially,” he said. “It basically chokes the tree off and kills the tree.”

The emerald ash borer is an invasive species that feeds on the nutrients needed for a tree to survive. It expands rapidly, going through several generations a

year.Smallwood said the insect was

spotted in some areas of southern Ontario in 2013, but this year it’s basically all over southern Ontario.

A municipality has three choices, if the emerald ash borer begins to infect its trees, Smallwood said.

It can do nothing and let the trees die off and remove them, which is sometimes less expensive than the other two options.

The second option is to treat all its infected trees. Smallwood pointed out that there’s an effective treatment for emerald ash borers called TreeAzin, but it’s very expensive.

The third option is to use the treatment to target only the most infected trees. This “hybrid” approach, as Smallwood called it, has proven to be effective for some municipalities.

To prepare for potential damage, Smallwood recommends municipal offi cials make a plan. They can collect an inventory of their trees, so they have an idea of how much it will cost if the emerald ash borer becomes prominent in their community.

He said Quinte Conservation can offer help by training representatives from any of Hastings County’s 14 member municipalities. Those representatives don’t necessarily have to be municipal employees; they can be community volunteers.

Smallwood urged them to do so, because the emerald ash borer can create a serious problem for any municipality that values its green space and wants a healthy tree population.

“We won’t know it’s here until trees start to die,” Smallwood said.

By Kate EversonNews - Quinte West - How many cats are too many?

The city is proposing a bylaw that will tighten up the rules for animals other than dogs.

“No person shall keep at any one time more than fi ve cats per dwelling unit,” says city clerk Kevin Heath.

He told the Corporate and Financial Services committee that 22 cats were found in one premises by the Animal Control Offi cer.

Currently, in order to obtain compliance the municipality must

go through the courts. This bylaw shortens the process.

The bylaw also states that every owner of a cat or other animal shall prevent it from being at large within the city limits. This means if it is found in any place other than the premises of the owner and not under control. Any cat or other animal shall be leashed or physically restrained when on city property. Every cat or other animal found to be at large may be seized and impounded by the Animal Control Offi cer. The owner, if known, will

be notifi ed and they must reclaim the animal within 72 hours and the owner pay the cost of maintenance. Every animal not reclaimed in 72 hours may be sold or disposed of.

Keith Reid asked how many dogs a person could have. Heath said there is a three-dog limit unless it is a kennel.

Terry Cassidy asked what is done if an animal is not treated well. Heath said they would call the Humane Society.

City bylaw says 22 cats are too many

Dr. Brian Ho

Healthy Mouth,

Dr. Brian Ho is a practicing general dentist in Trenton, Ontario. He can be reached at Trenton Family Dental, 613.394.3883. For further information and discussion, please visit his o�ce at www.trentonfamilydental.com.

There has been lots of research recently in medical and dental scientific journals about the effects of having a healthy mouth as well as those of having an unhealthy mouth. Your mouth is the gateway to the rest of your body. If

your mouth is full of infections, the latest medical research has been showing that it affects the rest of your body quite significantly. If you suffer from diabetes, heart disease, and

many other common ailments, the gum disease that is present in your mouth has the potential to contribute in a negative way to these medical conditions. You might be asking how this may be. Think of it this way: your body is a system that is constantly trying to heal itself. If you have a condition like heart disease, and your body has to use some of its valuable resources to combat your gum disease, it makes it that much harder for your body to take care of the heart. Also, if you suffer from gum infections in your

mouth from periodontal disease, every time you eat and chew, bad bacteria are released that can directly affect things like your arteries and your heart valves. If you are pregnant, the constant stream of bad bacteria that may be in your mouth from infections can certainly affect an unborn child. Given that periodontal or gum disease has many

negative effects, one would assume that it is easily detectable. Surprisingly enough, many people with periodontal disease are unaware that their mouths are burdened with this condition. Let’s take a moment to highlight some of the tell-tale signs of periodontal (gum) disease: bleeding of the gums when you brush or eat, loose teeth, bad breath, little gum pockets around your teeth that are swollen, and pain upon chewing. These are just some of the signs that you may have significant gum disease. Call your dentist and make an appointment to

assess your gums so that you can keep your mouth and yourself healthy.

Healthy You…

By Kate EversonNews - Quinte West - The changing face of military op-erations owing to deep budget cuts was highlighted in a recent Change of Command ceremony for 8 Wing Operations.

Incoming Lieutenant-Col-onel Andy Cleveland spoke about the effects of the cuts at the ceremony at the Offi cers Mess on June 25, as he took

over from Lieutenant-Colonel Christian Roy.

“Money is tight,” he admit-ted. “Mom and dad are broke.”

He said they still have to get the job done.

“We recognize the job is not any less,” he said. “It’s actually bigger. It is a challenge and we will have to face it.”

He compared it to being a kid in school and mom and dad

just have to drive the car less so they can go to school.

“We have faced challenges before,” he said. “We will rise to the occasion. We have fun in doing that!”

Department of National De-fence spending was cut in the budget fi rst announced by Min-ister of Finance Jim Flaherty in February deferring $3.1 billion to 2016-2017. About 34 per

Change of Command ceremony for 8 Wing Operations

cent of the government’s spending has been cut, taking the military back to pre-2007 spending levels. This is on top of a budget freeze four years ago.

Cleveland said he is fortunate to be taking over 8 Wing Operations which “runs like a well oiled machine.”

He told Lieutenant-Colonel Roy he has done a fantastic job here and has a great team.

Roy said the last 24 months have had many challenges, but they man-aged to meet and exceed their mandate with high standards of excellence.

Wing Commander Colonel David Lowthian commented that 8 Wing prides itself as a centre of air mobil-ity and is ready at all times in defence of Canada, North America and inter-national values. “We are good at what we do,” he said.

Lowthian complimented Roy say-ing he was outstanding no matter how challenging the situation. “He had a calmness about him,” Lowthian said. He added that Roy was always ap-proachable and friendly yet responded with certainty and always had an an-swer.

The offi cers were piped in and out by Pipe Major Beth Cleaton from 413 Wing Pipes and Drums. Refreshments were offered after the ceremony.

News - Quinte West - There is a new group in Quinte West made up of 19- to 39-year-olds who want to work together to share knowledge, build their social and profes-sional networks and foster the growth of the Quinte Region. Quinte Young Profession-als (QYP) was formed by the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce for young busi-ness people and entrepreneurs and is being led by a group of young leaders from the Quinte Region. Trenval Business Develop-ment Corporation, along with futurpreneur Canada are also supporting the creation of

New group dedicated to Young Professionalscus group with fifteen young professionals from wide-ranging careers as well as expe-rience levels. It was important for us to see if there was going to be interest in this. It was unbelievable the interest and excite-ment that came from that first meeting! Ev-eryone agreed that this is a group we need in the Quinte Region and couldn’t wait to start planning the first event.”

Membership in the group is free and their launch event was held Thursday, June 26, at Stix and Stones in Trenton.

“We want young professionals to have an opportunity to build their networks and create a stronger tie to our community,” says committee member Kristina Lane who is also the Marketing and Events Co-ordinator at the Small Business Centre and

a young professional herself. “The more active we are as young people in the com-munity, the more likely we are to re-main here and in the end, this group really wants to help aid in youth retention.”

If you would like to find out more about Quinte Young Profession-als you can call 613-392-7635 or check out their web site at <www.quinteyoungpro-fessionals.com> or

you can find them on Facebook or twitter QuinteYP #QYP.

this new group in the region.“Our young people are an important as-

set to our community,” says Quinte West chamber manager Suzanne Andrews. “Our chamber along with many others in the province are supporting the development of a Young Professional Network in our com-munity as it is important for youth retention, leadership and workforce development, community engagement and entrepreneur-ship. You do not have to work in a profes-sion to be part of this group and we hope that all young people that are looking to ex-pand their networks will check out QYP.”

Quinte Young Professionals is open to anyone working in the Quinte area that falls within the age group specified. A young professional is not specifically the job or the education someone has but is used in this instance to describe someone who rep-resents themselves in an ethical and courte-ous manner in his or her workplace. It in-cludes employees, business owners, trades people, artists and entrepreneurs from a variety of backgrounds.

“We started with a simple, but powerful mission: To engage and empower young professionals through community, pro-fessional and social opportunities,” says Quinte Young Professionals chair Meagan Reid who works at QuintEssential Credit Union in Trenton. “In April we held a fo-

By Stephen [email protected] - Belleville - Belleville city Councillor Jodie Jenkins has announced he will seek the Conservative Party nomination for the new federal riding of Bay of Quinte.

His decision means he will not seek re-election to city council in this fall’s municipal election and instead pursue a seat in federal politics. A federal election is expected to be called in 2015.

To run under the Conservative Party banner, Jenkins will first have to be successful at a Conservative Party

Association of Bay of Quinte nomina-tion meeting, expected to take place in the fall.

This news could make for an inter-esting federal race, when the new Bay of Quinte riding makes its debut. The Liberal Party is expected to be rep-resented by current Belleville Mayor Neil Ellis, who at times has clashed with Jenkins at the Belleville council table.

Currently, Belleville is represented by Conservative Member of Parlia-ment Daryl Kramp. However, the cur-rent riding of Prince Edward Hastings is being eliminated at the end of this

term. Kramp is expected to run in the newly drawn riding of Hastings, Len-nox & Addington.

“After much deliberation, I am ex-cited to announce my intention to seek the nomination for the new Bay of Quinte Riding,” Jenkins said in a press release. “To be fair to my constituents and to others who might be consider-ing a run for Belleville council I need to make my intentions clear now.

“I sincerely thank all of those who voted for me in the last municipal election, and all of those who have shared their vision of Belleville with me over the past three and a half

years. It has been an honour to serve my community. This is not step-ping away from my constituents, but hopefully continuing to serve them at a different level.”

Jenkins praised the work of fellow Conservatives Kramp and Rick Nor-lock, the MP for Northumberland-Quinte West.

“We’ve had strong representa-tion from our two local MPs. Both of their ridings have received a substan-tial share of support from the federal Conservative government and I want to work with both Rick and Daryl to ensure that support continues for the

new Bay of Quinte riding.”Jenkins said federal funding is re-

sponsible for many projects in the two existing ridings including the Vet-erans Bridge, the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre in Belleville and the millions of dollars invested into CFB Trenton.

“Virtually every public project of note that has contributed to the Quinte Region’s economic stability in the last eight years has had either full or partial funding from the federal government. It is clear to me that at the federal level there is a real difference that can be made for our communities.”

By Kate EversonNews - Quinte West - The Trenton Lioness Club made more donations to the com-munity on June 24 at the Lions Hall.

They presented cheques for $500 each to Quinte Sailability, the VON, and Three Oaks Sec-ond Stage Housing, and $1,000 to the Trenton Care and Share Food Bank.

“We have 36 regular students at Quinte Sailability,” said Den-nis Fletcher, “plus 120 on other programs like day camps and therapeutic care.”

He said the program operates out of the CFB Trenton Yacht Club for ten weeks and includes sailors from ages seven to 75.

Al Teal, manager of the Tren-ton Care and Share Food Bank, thanked the Lioness for their donation. “The need is there all the time,” noted president Mau-reen Sills.

Julia Gosson, representing

VON and Three Oaks, said the emergency shelter is for women experiencing violence. She noted that 40 per cent of women return to their abusers because they have nowhere else to go. The Second Stage Hous-ing on Front Street in Belleville gives the women an apartment for up to a year at rent geared to income. She said the $3 mil-lion campaign has paid for the building which is almost com-plete and ready for women to move in by the end of August with eight units. The property has two more stages down the road. Three Oaks also has an emergency shelter of 16 beds for women in crisis for up to six weeks.

Gosson said the VON dona-tion will be used to subsidize those who can’t afford the pro-grams, such as Meals on Wheels and the Diners Club.

The Lioness Club has been very generous during 2013-

Tourist Park rates set for the season

The canteen is open from the May long weekend to the end of September from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

“The canteen staff are camping on the site,” Forder added.

He noted that the canteen has a com-puter access to the booking software (ActiveNet).

All sites are available for group

camping if a group books six or more sites, and are eligible for ten per cent discount.

There is a pavilion that can be used by campers if not reserved. The reserva-tion fee is $94.35.

The following guidelines include check-in time of 1 p.m. and checkout time of 11 a.m. There is a maximum of four adults per site and a maximum of two tents per site, or one trailer. Camp-fires are permitted in rings only and when no municipal fire ban is in effect. All pets must be on a leash. All campers must register at the canteen office. Al-cohol is prohibited except on registered campsites. Feeding of waterfowl is pro-hibited. Failure to obey park rules may result in eviction without refund.

Reservations may be made at city hall or at the canteen. Payment may be made in cash or credit card. All bookings had previously required payment in full. Staff is proposing collecting a 25 per cent deposit from all bookings prior to arriving, rather than the full payment. If cancelled 48 hours prior to arrival there is a full refund of deposit. Less than 48 hours there is no refund. If the site is cancelled within 24 hours of arrival date then full site charges will apply.

“The intent is to provide staff with some clear direction,” Forder noted. “The 100 per cent deposit was put into place a couple of years ago due to peo-ple booking sites and then cancelling and the city not being able to rebook the site. The proposed 25 per cent will still outline the commitment of the people not to cancel and gives the city time to try and rebook the site.”

Sails and Sculls take to the waterBy Kate EversonNews - Trenton - The sails were hoisted on three sailboats at the Trenton Rowing and Paddling Club on Sunday, June 29, as eager sailors signed up to learn the ropes.

“This is the second year we have hosted the Shells and Sails program,” said club organizer Robin Pilon.

The program is offered by ROWOntario and Ontario Sailing Association. It had five rowing sculls on the water taking new beginners out on the river.

“This was a great opportunity to try these out for free with certified coaches,” said co-ordinator Kit McCandie.

The coaches were trained with the National Coaching Certification Program. Sailboats ply the waters of the Trent across from old city hall. Photo: Kate Everson

Afghanistan monument

unveiled

Veterans Council Chair and Legion Branch 99 President Andy Anderson delivers a speech dur-ing the ceremony to unveil the new monument at Memorial Park. Photo: Stephen Petrick

By Stephen [email protected] - Belleville - Dozens of military supporters braved a scorching hot day Sunday to attend the unveiling of an updated monument that hon-

ours veterans of the Afghani-stan war. The ceremony was hosted by the Belleville Vet-erans Council at Memorial Park and featured a colour guard march.

Just recently, a monument with a cross was dismounted so that new words could be engraved on it. Now back up, the monument says, “To Those Who Served/2002 Af-ghanistan 2014.”

The project was launched by the Belleville Veterans Council this winter, with the support of the city.

Because none of the 158 Canadian Forces members who died during the confl ict were from the Belleville area, the council decided to dedi-cate the monument to all the men and women who served in Afghanistan

“This memo-rial reminds us that freedom has a price,” said Veter-ans Council Chair Andy Anderson, during a speech. “Let us pray we never have to pay it again.”

High school student’s business venture promoting mental health awareness

By Sue DickensNews - Campbellford - “Fight Off Your Demons”

Branding her new business, this slogan is resonating with followers of Faith Begbie’s new venture on the social networks, from Facebook to Twitter to Instagram.

This Grade 11 student at Campbellford District High School has her new small business up and running as she promotes mental health awareness this summer by designing a line of customized clothing that she is selling while earning two high school credits at the same time.

“This is a clothing line that is helping to raise awareness about mental illnesses and making sure nobody stands alone,” she told the Trent Hills Independent.

By participating in the Ministry of Education’s Self-Employment Summer Company Co-op Pilot program, she will be earning up to two Co-op credits while running the small business.

Using Twitter as one of her ways to get her message out there she tweeted: “Depression isn’t a weakness. It doesn’t make you a weak person. It makes you stronger. You are a warrior and you will win this war.”

Begbie’s business venture is supported by the Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Employment’s Summer Company program.

“My mom helped me and we applied for a grant and will receive $3,000,” she explained.

Summer Company offers start-up money to kick off a new summer business and provides advice and mentorship from local business leaders to help get the business up and running

With $1,500 for startup costs Begbie will be promoting her message and her

product through the summer months.Once she has successfully completed

the program requirements she will receive the remaining $1,500.

Students who received this grant have to be prepared to commit to an average of 35 hours per week for a minimum of eight consecutive weeks.

“I want to tell people if you have a mental health issue it doesn’t make you any different or less of a person,” said Begbie, as she explained her goals and outlined her plan.

“As a young person I’d dealt with depression. Mental health is something everybody deals with at some point in their life, whether it’s themselves or someone in their family or someone they know. There’s so much negativity behind it and it’s great to see people are coming out and talking about it more,” she added.

Within an hour of posting her message about her new business on Facebook, she had 400 people viewing her page.

“I didn’t start it for the money, I started this to educate people,” she noted.

Selling T-shirts, tank tops and hoodies emblazoned with her slogan, she plans on taking her business and her message to festivals.

She is hoping to host an awareness event at the Campbellford Legion on July 6. Plans are still being fi nalized.

The cost will be $10 and supporters will be able to listen to music from a dozen local bands.

“My goal for this is just to get people to start treating mental health as they do physical health,” she said.

Ministry of Agriculture representatives talk to QEDC

Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food representatives John Swan and Mark Jonkers addressed the QEDC. Photo: Kate Everson

By Kate EversonNews - Belleville - A presentation was made to the Quinte Economic Development Commission by John Swan and Mark Jonkers from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food.

“We are touring sites for investments in the food and beverage industry,” Jonkers said.

He said it’s not just about money but building a business case with the community. He noted that they are focusing on export trade with countries in Europe, China and the Middle East to buy Ontario products.

John Swan said they are currently looking for opportunities.

“A hot country is Italy,” he said. “They are looking for manufacturing here.”

He added, “The U.S. is pretty dead. We have had no leads in a year.”

They are reaching out to five areas in Ontario and this is one, including the Belleville, Quinte West and Brighton region, is known for its professionalism and responsiveness.

“They give us the best service,” he said. “It’s really good.”

He said some areas have more lucrative incentives but there has to be involvement with the

community.Mark Jonkers said the incentives are gravy.

“Incentives push you into partnership,” he said.Tom Lafferty asked if there was any product out

of South America. Jonkers said they have a lot of buying power but only seasonal products. He said California Bolthouse Farms should be in Ontario, building and employing here.

Ted Reid asked if the EU Trade agreement has any effect. John Swan said the U.S. wants to manufacture in Canada to get more leverage with the EU.

“People are interested in Canada as a beachfront for the EU,” said Mark Jonkers. “They would bring the retail in.”

He was asked if there is a lot of competition in Canada. Jonkers said there is the use of incentives and relatively competitive taxes, but Hydro and labour is a bit higher, plus the price of gasoline for shipping.

“Ontario is not the most competitive,” said John Swan. “We have to leverage a lot of different opportunities here.”

Swan added, “Companies don’t like Development Charges. It’s a line item that raises eyebrows. It should be built into land costs.”

Someone asked if Ontario is competitive with Quebec. Swan said they are never worried about being beat up by Quebec because of its French labelling and unions.

Mayor John Williams said it is a lot about relationships, such as Kelloggs and other close calls. “Other opportunities are coming forward,” he added.

By Diane Sherman News - Residents of Ontario can find if their voter information is right, change it if needed, or, register when they turn eighteen, all from the comfort of home.

Voterlookup.ca is a new web site owned and operated by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) enabling citizens to update personal in-formation any time, anywhere, from a computer, or, simply find out if they are registered as an elector in their municipality.

Electors don’t have to run out and get a computer, nor learn to use a computer, as all traditional voter registration methods will remain in place.

“Those people who have voted over the years will be, by default, on the preliminary list of electors which each munici-pality already has on file,” said Peter Moran, at the Centre Hast-ings municipal council meeting June 25.

Municipal relations repre-sentatives from MPAC, such as Moran, are actively informing municipal governments through-out Ontario of the new process launched April 22 in Toronto.

“We are just coming up to

speed with new technology,” Moran explained.

Changes to transform the 2014 enumeration process in-clude an Internet look-up pro-cess for electors, which files their information by an “online data capture process” and au-tomatically files voters by their separate names and details.

The Voterlookup.ca site is a simple, straightforward, online process requiring individuals to enter their name, address, and age to register. If they are already on the list a box with a green check mark shows up to say you are already in the file.

There is no personal informa-tion exposed or available, but, to get past the first page, one has to agree to a privacy statement, a legal document similar to what may be signed when declaring in person, at a municipal office or voter’s poll.

MPAC uses the information as it always has, to prepare re-gional voter’s lists, for munici-pal, school board, and district social services administrative board elections, municipal and school board planning purposes, preparation of jury lists, and population reports which is then

made easily available, electroni-cally, to municipalities.

The data is used only for municipal elections and is not applied to federal or provincial elector lists.

Municipal elections are Oc-tober 27 this year. Moran says MPAC staff is actively spread-ing the word to municipalities who will then inform their pub-lic of the availability of the new online process.

MPAC will continue to send each municipality updates as they are entered on line at preset intervals before the election.

“Meanwhile,” Moran says, “anyone who may have moved or had changes to their personal information, or become eligible to vote before voting day, can still go to their municipal office to register, or, simply do it on the Internet.”

If a resident did not get onto the voter’s list they must follow the same procedure as in the past, on election day, by bringing proof of identification and address.

“Electronic data filing is the way of the future,” says Moran. “We are just bringing our service into line with the new technology.”

Aerospace Warfare Centre has new commanderBy Kate EversonNews - Trenton - Colonel Kelvin Truss has taken over as the new commander of the Canadian Forces Aerospace Warfare Centre (CFAWC).

Truss took over from Colonel Martin Cournoyer on June 27 at a ceremony out-side the building at Anson Avenue. It was a blistering sunny day as the light gleamed on the wings of the two mascot Ravens, Carl and Carol, on display. The centre is known as the Raven. “The raven is a bird of wisdom and cunning, a divine agent with the ability to foretell battle,” they say.

“Thanks Padre for the weather,” said Colonel Cournoyer as he said farewell to his team which he commanded from 2012.

He said he was proud of the team at CFAWC and welcomed Colonel Truss to his new position.

“He is the first returning CFAWC com-mander,” Cournoyer noted. “He has a per-fect perspective. He will take care of the mission.”

Major-General Foster stressed the im-portance of the warfare centre especially as the world becomes more unstable. He said they will focus on the core and be ready to assume more responsibility. He noted that the Joint Task Force will con-tribute to that air-land integration.

Foster said the RCAF needs to develop the ability to fight and to be interoperable with key allies.

Colonel Truss said he has a solid foun-

dation here, and now they need to make sure they focus on higher priorities.

He said people sometime ask if this is an RCAF or Ca-nadian Armed Forces or Aero-space Centre. He feels it is all of these, working on the war-fare element.

Established in 2005 the

CFAWC is a lodger unit of 8 Wing and is mandated to en-sure the evolution of Canadian aerospace power. The com-mand portion of the unit is in Trenton and a small detach-ment works out of Shirley’s Bay in Ottawa’s west end.

Colonel Truss was born in Maldon, England, in 1962 and

joined the Air Force in 1982 as a gunner in the RAF regiment but was commissioned shortly after and became a flying instruc-tor. He flew the Tornado F3 as a front line pilot and instructor until 1993 when he joined the Royal Air Force aerobatic team the Red Arrows. He was promoted to squadron leader and completed his time as the lead solo pilot. During his three years with the Red Arrows he completed over 300 displays in the UK and overseas, in-cluding South Africa, Australia and the Far and Middle East. He returned to the Tor-

nado Force in 1997 as a flight commander and later in 2004 as commander of 111 Fighter Squadron. In 2011 he deployed

to NATO and was responsible for strategy and targeting. He was formerly CFAWC detach-ment commander in Ottawa.

EVENTS

By John M. SmithLifestyles - On my wife’s birthday, we fl ew to South America, specifi cally to Peru, for we have long wanted to visit Machu Picchu, one of the New 7 Wonders of the World, and we certainly weren’t disappointed, for we found it to be an absolutely stunning destination.

I booked the tour through Indus Travels, <www.industravels.ca>, for this company has a Canadian offi ce (in Richmond, British Co-lumbia) and do a lot of advertising, and I was pleased with this choice. The details were all soon taken care of and we were “good to go.” We fl ew from Toronto to Lima (with a short stopover in San Salvador), stayed overnight at an airport hotel (Ramada Costa del Sol), and then again took fl ight the next morning across the snow-capped Andes to Cusco (the oldest inhabited city in the hemisphere and at an el-evation of more than 11,000 feet). In Cusco, we boarded a bus (with the other members of our tour group) and descended into the village of Urubamba in the Sacred Valley, to help us acclimatize and to avoid altitude sickness. Af-ter spending a full day exploring the valley, we were then ready to tackle Machu Picchu, located far up in the mountains.

We were taken by bus to the “Living Inca Town” of Ollantaytambo, and here we board-ed a train for our scenic excursion. We eventu-ally arrived at the village of Aguas Calientes, at the foot of Machu Picchu, and then we were taken by bus, up the steep switchback road, to what’s often referred to as “The Lost City of the Incas.”

It’s rather diffi cult for me to fi nd the right words to properly convey my awe upon view-ing these ancient ruins for that fi rst time, but it’s defi nitely safe to say that I found them to be one of the most beautiful and important an-cient sites anywhere and certainly meriting a lot of photos! It’s believed the Incas built this magnifi cent site in about 1450—invisible from

below—very protected, and completely self-contained. These cloud-shrouded ruins, situ-ated high up in the mountains, far above the valley’s Urubamba River, are surrounded by agricultural terraces, and the site seems to have been divided into agricultural, sacred, and resi-dential sections with both an upper and lower town and its architecture appears to suitably adapt to the natural form of the mountains. Several stone staircases provide access to the various levels found within this site.

There’s a lot of walking involved here, much of it on steep, narrow footpaths, but a tour of this UNESCO World Heritage Site is defi nitely necessary. Expect a real workout! Our group was led by an English-speaking guide, and we spent about three hours touring this phenom-enal place. We ascended to the guard tower and descended into the residential area, where we saw what was left of many of the houses, and we visited several sacred sites, too, includ-ing the remains of the Temple of the Condor, Temple of the Three Windows, and the Temple of the Sun. We also checked out Inti Watana, a large ritual stone that was believed to be as-sociated with the Inca’s astronomical clock or calendar. As we strolled through the ruins, we were greeted, from time to time, by llamas that live here on site.

When we fi rst arrived at Machu Picchu, the tallest mountains surrounding the site were still shrouded in clouds, but as time passed, these clouds disappeared, offering us a clearer view of the entire area. I took photos of both the before and after, of course, and I learned that the mountain that’s named Machu Picchu (the “Old Man”) is actually located behind the guard house, so it’s not the one that’s photo-graphed in the majority of the photos. Huayna Picchu (the “Young Man”) probably appears in the most, and it’s possible to climb to its sum-mit but the number of daily climbers is limited and it’s a very challenging ascent. If you do

make arrangements to climb Huayna Picchu, you may then descend into a cave where you’ll fi nd the Temple of the Moon, another incredible Incan ceremonial structure.

If you were to decide to participate in an adventure trek on the popular, gruelling Inca Trail, much of which is still of original Incan construction, instead of taking my wimpier train route, you’d eventually arrive at the Sun Gate, a narrow notch that’s lo-cated high above Machu Picchu, and this would offer an especially awe-some fi rst view of the ruins. However, it’s also possible to ascend to the Sun Gate from within the archaeological site itself, but be prepared for a tough climb for about an hour, with some narrow footpaths, heart-thumping precipices, and lots of rocks.

It’s believed the Incas abandoned Machu Picchu after about a century (at the time of the Spanish Con-quest), and it then remained “a se-cret place” until American historian Hiram Bingham (of Yale) introduced this extraordinary place to the world in 1911. After that discovery, Machu Picchu has become, now, one of the most popular tourist attractions of them all!

By Kate EversonEntertainment - Trenton - Take a step back in time to the good ol’ days of Big Bands like Guy Lom-bardo, Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Harry James. Do you re-member?

The Trenton Big Band Festival on July 19 and 20 recreates those glory days with top bands per-forming at the Riverfront Square on Saturday night and at the am-phitheatre on Sunday afternoon.

“Fans of big band and nostal-gia will go on another pilgrimage to bask in the sounds of the third annual big band festival,” says Colleen Vickers of Quinte West.

Highlighting this year’s main show on Sunday, July 20 is the Brian Barlow Big Band featur-ing vocalist Barbra Lica, one of Canada’s top fi ve female jazz vocalists, according to the CBC. Also on Sunday afternoon at Centennial Park amphitheatre is the ever-popular Swing Shift Big Band, a huge hit during the inau-

gural festival two years ago. The Ragweed Jazz Band will bring its own brand of high-energy swing to the day.

The Brian Barlow Big Band celebrates its tenth anniversary this year and continues to wow au-diences with their fresh approach to the very best tunes of the golden age of the big bands. Made up of some of Canada’s top jazz soloists this exciting ensemble will have you tapping your toes.

The Swing Shift Band started in 1996 to preserve the sounds and energy of the big band era and has now become one of the top rated big bands throughout Ontario and Canada. It has performed at most major venues in Toronto area over the past 18 years.

The Ragweed Jazz Band is for listening, dancing and remember-ing the golden years of jazz, the 1930s and 1840s when people like Louis Armstrong and Benny Goodman were setting the tempo for the era. The band has an infec-tious sense of fun and keeps the

essential spirit of jazz.Gates open at noon on Sunday.

Bring your lawn chair and relax. The Swing Shift Band performs fi rst at 1 p.m., followed by the Ragweed Jazz Band at 2 p.m. and the Brian Barlow Big Band at 2:30 p.m. There will be an artists village on site as well as food and beverages, featuring Huff Estates Winery.

“Get your tickets in advance,” advises Vickers. “Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the gate.”

They can be picked up at city hall, the Chamber of Commerce, Riverside Music in Trenton or Pin-nacle Music in Belleville. In case of inclement weather the concert will be held inside the arena.

The night before the big event will be a free concert outdoors at the new Riverfront Square down-town with the very popular Com-modores Orchestra. Canada’s oldest big swing band will play for dining and dancing under the stars. You can relax on the patio of several downtown restaurants and

News - Brighton - On Sunday June 22, Northumberland Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were con-ducting speed enforcement on area roadways as part of the detachment traffi c plan.

At approximately 12:20 p.m., an OPP offi cer was operating radar on County Road 30 north of Codring-ton in the Municipality of Brighton when a vehicle was observed south-bound at a high rate of speed.

The offi cer followed the vehicle and stopped the 2002 blue Dodge Caravan near Aranda Way. The female driver exited the vehicle,

ignoring the offi cer and the emer-gency lights.

The offi cer found that there were six children in the vehicle. The chil-dren were six months, one year, two years (twins), three years and eight years of age.

There were two car seats in the vehicle but there was no attached seating to the fl oor of the van.

The offi cer conducted an inves-tigation into the female driver and issued her with several summonses for Provincial Offences Court on Thursday, July 24, in Campbellford at 9:30 a.m.

Melissa Gail Anne Brummel, 28, from Campbellford has been charged with the following of-fences under the Highway Traffi c Act: driving a motor vehicle with no licence; defacing a validation sticker; using a plate not authorized for motor vehicle; driving while a passenger under 16 fails to properly wear seat belt; speeding; operating motor vehicle with no insurance under Compulsory Automobile In-surance Act.

Family members attended the scene and transported the children safely to their destination.

enjoy the night. The Commodores will perform from 6 to 8:30 p.m. followed by the Dan Bone Jazz Trio between 9 and 11 p.m. for a smooth jazz nightcap. The Commodores has been performing since 1928 and this 17-piece band is still in demand playing classics of the big band era. The Dan Bone Trio has been in the Quinte area for 15 years. Dan is a JUNO-nominated saxman whose collaboration with keyboardist Duncan Cooper and drummer Steve Conley has set the stan-dard for jazz in eastern Ontario.

Major sponsors for the third annual Trenton Big Band Festival are the city of Quinte West, Jazz FM 91, Ontario Lot-tery and Gaming Corporation, Dow’s Climate Care, JB Print Solutions and the Seasons Dufferin Centre.

By Sue DickensNews - Campbellford - An oa-sis in Campbellford, “A Garden With Everything” created by ho-meowners Marg and Doug Doo-her is just one of the seven won-ders in the 11th Annual Garden Tour hosted by the Campbell-ford and District Horticultural Society.

Located at 81 Ranney Street North, at a home built by Marg Dooher’s father Wilfred Spencer in 1935, the varieties of perenni-als are just some of the eye candy visitors will see.

From a weeping willow tree to many different types of roses to the arbour, crafted garden orna-ments to the bird bath and bird houses, the back yard offers a place to pause and reflect on all that nature can provide when tended to by someone with a green thumb.

“I was born and raised on a farm so I love gardening … I did it as I was growing up. It’s just my nature,” said Dooher.

“The honeysuckle over there was one of my first plants. We get a lot of hummingbirds because of

that,” she commented.The view from their sunroom

which was added to the house in 1995 when she retired, was a “dream come true … The thing is full of flowers come wintertime,” she explained.

“A lot of my things came from my family like the lilacs … they are absolutely gorgeous this year,” she added.

She and her husband have lived in the home for 55 of their 59 years of marriage.

After raising four children she now has more time to spend

News - Bolton - The National Marine Manufacturers Associa-tion Canada (NMMA Canada) applauds the federal govern-ment’s announcement extending the hours of operation for both the Rideau Canal and Trent-Severn Waterway. In time for the Canada Day weekend, a total of 112 hours will be added to the navigation schedule throughout the course of the entire boating season.

“This is a great achievement for recreational boating and the result of our industry’s unified advocacy efforts,” said Sara Anghel, executive director/vice-president of NMMA Canada.

“We commend the government for working together with the recreational boating industry and keeping the likes of boaters top of mind. The extended hours of service encourages boaters to travel these historic waterways, naturally boosting tourism and Canadians’ time spent on the wa-ter.”

Recently, a national program dedicated to promoting the boat-ing lifestyle, Discover Boating Canada, a program managed by the NMMA, offered a list of the best boating locales, and the Trent-Severn Waterway and Rideau Canal are among the top boating destinations in Canada

this year.According to the announce-

ment from the Honourable Leo-na Aglukkaq, Minister of the Environment and Minister Re-sponsible for Parks Canada, the extended hours of operation sup-port tourism and economic de-velopment, and helps Canadians connect with experiences along the waterways. The Economic Impact of Recreational Boat-ing in Canada: 2012 reveals that the recreational boating industry is a significant economic driver for Canada, generating $8.9 bil-lion in revenues, contributing $5 billion to GDP, and employing nearly 70,000 people.

Extending hours of operation for Trent-Severn Waterway

Arts and crafts style cottage home featured in Garden Tourpruning and planting.

And her husband has joined in and has planted a vegetable gar-den he tends to daily.

“He said to me I might as well try something because you are out here all the time,” she said laughing.

Dooher supports the horticul-tural society in all it does and has been a member for the past 25 years.

“The things you learn are just great. We have speakers of every nature of horticulture,” she com-mented.

The Dooher home is just one of seven featured gardens on the tour this year.

There are two in Hastings, one in Havelock, one in Trent River, two in Campbellford and Island Park Retirement Community is the seventh.

For something a little different those on the tour are encouraged to drop in at the home of Brenda and John Gabriel, in Campbell-ford, to see a garden belonging to someone who is part gardener but for the most part, a self-pro-claimed “junker.”

The garden of Marg and Doug Dooher of Campbellford is one of seven being fea-tured in the 11th Annual Garden Tour organized by the Campbellford and District Horticultural Society. The tour takes place Saturday, July 12, and passports are on sale now for $10. Photo: Sue Dickens

To see the list of all the gar-dens, tour enthusiasts will have to purchase a passport which includes details about the homes and their owners’ special gar-dens.

Passports are available at Earth Angel and Caroline’s Organics in Campbellford and from Joyce

Higgs at the Hastings Market.The passport front cover fea-

tures a photo of Schoolhouse Gardens near Warkworth, owned by Dennis Gebhardt and Tom Harris, hosts to tours in the past. The cost is $10.

The tour takes place Saturday, July 12, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

By Karen LongwellNews - Cobourg - A Hastings-area woman charged with obstruction after her sheep went missing will see her case move forward this August. Linda Frances Jones, also known as Montana Jones, was in Cobourg court on June 17. Ms. Jones, who owns Wholearth Farmstudio near Hastings, was one of four people charged in a case involv-ing her Shropshire sheep. The sheep were suspected of having scrapie and 31 of them were unlawfully removed from her federally quarantined prem-ises near Hastings in April 2012. The sheep allegedly were abducted by a group calling itself the Farmers Peace Corps. Twenty-six of the sheep were later found in June 2012 on a farm in Grey County. Jones, Michael Schmidt, Suzanne Atkinson and Robert Pin-nell face several charges, including obstructing a Canadian Food Inspec-tion Agency inspector, and transport-ing or causing to transport an animal under quarantine. Schmidt is a Dur-ham dairy farmer fi ned in 2011 for illegally selling unpasteurized milk. Pinnell is a member of a co-operative that runs Schmidt’s Glencolton Farms. Atkinson is a Warkworth-area corre-spondent for a farm publication. The Crown’s claim there was a confl ict of interest with lawyer Shawn Buckley representing both Jones and Schmidt was dismissed in court. Jones said af-ter the proceedings the decision was a good one for her and Schmidt. The matter is slated to move forward on August 18 when a preliminary hearing is expected to be scheduled.

Art in the Park returns to Henry StreetNews - Stirling - The Henry Street Park will become the temporary home to well over a dozen artists and their work when Art in the Park returns on Saturday, July 19.

Organizer Andre Jolicoeur says af-ter a second successful year last sum-mer, many participants have already indicated their plans to attend and this installment is shaping up to be the largest yet.

“We have 18 [participating art-ists] so far,” he says, noting there is

still plenty of time to include others, “and I’m sure we’ll get a bunch at the last minute.” In a large shady area that borders the creek, visitors to the park on July 19 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. can expect to see original artwork, prints, photography, crafts, pottery and woodworking both on display and for sale. Art in the Park provides an opportunity to see local works

created in a variety of media, and speak directly with the artists and ar-tisans who have in many cases spent years learning and refi ning their ap-proaches and techniques.

Buoyed by the early interest and the success of last year’s show, Joli-coeur is anticipating a wide range of

work to be presented during the day and is continuing to accept registra-tions from artists of all descriptions. And art lovers of all descriptions are encouraged to attend. Further infor-mation is available by calling 613-920-0010, or emailing <[email protected]>.

“It’s all for free,” Walsh said, about the children’s entertainment. “We have parents comment on that.”

The event begins Wednesday with the Canadian Indie Rock Mu-sic Festival, starting at 4 p.m. The event is headlined by popular Cana-dian punk band Gob.

On Thursday, events run from 4 to 11 p.m. The midway will be open and food and vendor booths will be on display. The children’s village will be open and more music will take place on the main stage.

Activities continue all day on Friday. One highlight will be the Quinte’s Got Talent show, from noon to 5 p.m. The event is a fund raiser for the Quinte Humane Soci-ety.

Saturday’s events include a Dragon Boat Show, starting at 9 a.m. from Victoria Harbour.

A highlight of Sunday’s lineup includes a Super Soaker Challenge obstacle course at 9 a.m., with pro-ceeds going to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.

But this just scratches the sur-face. For the full schedule, visit <www.bellevillewaterfrontfestival.com>.

As usual, the World’s Finest Shows Midway will be part of the Belleville Waterfront and Ethnic Festival, running from July 9 to 15 at West Zwicks Park. Photo: Submitted

Summer Festival just around the corner

37,000 and 40,000 people. As always, dozens of community groups are contributing to the event, whether it’s through pro-viding sponsorship, volunteers, or providing exhibits and enter-tainment during the festival.

“One of the reasons it sur-vives is because it’s a com-munity partnership,” said Bill Saunders, the CEO of the Bel-leville and District Chamber of Commerce.

The festival is officially run by the city of Belleville, but the municipality partners with the Chamber to co-ordinate the event.

Saunders said running the festival is no easy task—the planning takes place virtually year round. However, Cham-ber staff gladly do to the work because it fits with the organiza-tions mandate, plus it’s a lot of fun.

“You have to be there to experience it,” he said. “The Chamber is all about strength-

ening and developing the lo-cal economy and an event like this is a great way to boost the economy.”

Chamber special events co-ordinator Susan Walsh said she and her colleagues do a lot of homework to ensure the event succeeds. In recent years, staff have studied what demographic of people the event is most like-ly to attract. This has allowed them to make changes to the lineup and continue with certain attractions they know will suc-ceed. This work makes a differ-ence when convincing sponsors to get behind the event.

For instance, the popu-lar indie rock fest has now been moved to its own night, Wednesday, because festival organizers know that will attract a certain demographic of music followers.

Children’s entertainment will take place throughout the festival because organizers have learned that the majority of visi-

The Good Earth:

By Dan ClostLifestyles - Gentle Reader, we will agree it has been a tough spring; a long, cold, wet interminable affair that has pushed many a gardener out of their eternally optimistic mindset into the bleak realm of horticultural despair. Sitting here in my writer’s garret, I didn’t hear a single objection to that statement. This allows me to segue into the theme of this column, the plight of the professional landscaper.

Here is how I define a profes-sional landscaper: a person who de-rives their income from the practice of landscaping. It is neither a hobby nor a sideline endeavour for them. They’re not the folks who work a 9 to 5 job during the week and then toss a shovel into the back of their snowmobile trailer. These are the men and women who enhance our homes with their creative designs and ability to turn those concepts into our dream estates.

Their industry has a work “year” of seven months; however, this year you can knock about five weeks off the “billable hours” asked.

To be clear, GR, I’m not crying the blues for them because this is all part of the business that they chose. However, that doesn’t mean

I’m unsympathetic to their chal-lenges; hence this column.

Most run what is considered a small business, themselves and three or four staff, which means they are responsible for putting the food on the table in five house-holds.

Here are a few things you can do to make life just a titch easier for everyone involved.

Understand the weather. If it has been raining for a week, one day of sunshine does not dry out the soil enough for equipment to drive on it. If your backyard has puddles, don’t ask your contractor to plant a tree there.

Understand the weather. A long wet spring means delays in folks getting onto the job site which means they will be late getting to you. There is absolutely nothing they can do to buy back that time.

Understand the weather. If it has been a long slow spring with cool soil temperatures, many plants will not be available until later. The two classic examples of butterfly bush and rose of sharon are just now leafing out. Ornamental grasses, especially the warm season ones, are also just hitting their stride, sev-eral weeks late. Beech, redbuds and

plane trees leafed out later this year than I can remember, ever. Okay, I slipped this paragraph in for the garden centres and nurseries.

Understand your responsibilities as the homeowner when you hire. You must exercise “due diligence” and ensure the company you secure to work on your property is in com-pliance with all of the legal require-ments (supported by documenta-tion) to do the agreed upon work.

Ask for their credentials, WSIB coverage and anything else you can think of. Professional landscapers will be more than happy to show them to you; in fact, many will in-clude this in their initial presenta-tion. If you fail to ensure that the contractor has the proper insurance, you, the homeowner, can be held responsible for costs as a result of on-site incidents. (An aside: note that having insurance has no bear-ing on the skill of the landscaper or the quality of the work being done.)

Here is one reason for this sug-gestion: emerald ash borer is a seri-ous pest and will cause tremendous devastation to our ash trees. When it became clear the bug was moving into the Quinte area, I “suddenly” met folks from at least six different

companies with the word “arborist” on their business cards. In reality, it means they sniffed money and bought a chainsaw. Is that harsh? Maybe, but when they drop a tree on your house or nip off some of their body parts with you footing the bill because you didn’t ask for credentials, you might reconsider that stance. Here are a few other things I’ve seen in our area: retain-ing walls that fell over, electrical circuits without ground fault inter-rupters leading to water features, trees that grow to 80 feet tall plant-ed within five feet of the house, graded lawns that slope ground wa-ter into the basement … it is a long, long list Gentle Reader.

A really good start, in my opin-ion, is to look at companies who have been granted membership into the Landscape Ontario Horticul-tural Trades Association. Yes, there are some awesome companies out there who are not members of L.O. but they can be hard to find.

The primary point of this column is to encourage folks to exercise patience with the timing of their professionally managed landscape projects. The secondary message is a caveat emptor for the homeowner, protect yourself.

Patience, understanding and professionalism
