By John Campbell

News - Colborne - The 26th annual Apple Blossom Tyme Festival enjoyed two days of ﬁne weather last weekend and was rewarded for its full schedule of events. Clinton Breau, chair of the organizing committee, walked the full length of the parade Saturday afternoon and “was rather amazed” by “how many people were actually there.” They had plenty of reasons to make the trip. Saturday was an eventﬁlled, family-oriented day, with attractions that included

a baby contest, youth spelling bee, tractor games, soap box obstacle course, rock climbing wall, wagon rides, street performers, Irish road bowling, pie-eating contest, and parade. “The crowds really came out, it was very, very busy by the time 11 o’clock rolled around,” Breau. And the Saturday night dance at the Keeler, with Sawmill Road as the performing act, drew about 300 people and was “a big hit for the festival,” Breau said.

CDHS bands bring home the gold again

I NDE P E N D E N T G ROCE R

News - Campbellford - Campbellford District High School’s (CDHS) jazz bands brings home the gold again. The school’s jazz ensembles competed at the recent MusicFest Canada Nationals in Vancouver and won two national gold awards. Forty-five students from CDHS travelled to participate in the festival. Seventeen-year-old Peter Wowk who had been selected to perform in a National All-Star group, the ConnSelmer Centerstage Jazz Band was awarded an entrance scholarship to Humber College in Toronto. Two other CDHS students, Meaghan Steinmann and Brianna Parcels, won honour awards. The Nationals is the final stage of the largest student music festival in North America. About 450,000 students perform in regional festivals across Canada for the opportunity to be invited to the event, where about 7,000 students perform in Canada’s top school groups. “Our students performed really well,” said Dave Noble, director of the CDHS bands. “The senior group is one of the finest in the country.

beginner musicians, really progressed remarkably well in the couple of weeks leading up to the festival. They should be very proud of these results.” Adjudicator Shirantha Beddage, a Juno-nominated saxophonist and Humber College professor, noted the warm sound and tight ensemble feel of the CDHS Senior Jazz Ensemble. Bob Rebagliati, vice chairman of Instrumental Jazz at Musicfest Canada, commented on the excellent ensemble feel of the CDHS Junior Jazz Ensemble. Wowk’s performance in the National All-Star group was a highlight of the CDHS trip. Twenty of Canada’s most outstanding young musicians were chosen by audition from across Canada to fly out to Vancouver for an intensive week of rehearsals, master classes and performances with top professionals. Wowk’s scholarship to Humber was announced at the closing ceremonies. In addition to all the music activities, CDHS students also had the opportunity to go whale watching and saw a humpback whale right beside the boat in the ocean. Skiing at Whistler topped off the trip. Students arrived back in Campbellford May 20.

vendor count. “Based on that alone, it was a huge success,” Breau said Monday. Three years ago, there were 30 to 40 who set up downtown; last weekend there were 60, and “we were really scrambling to find places for them” in Victoria Square when the Show ’n’ Shine Classic Car show took over the main street on Sunday. “If the vendors see there’s value, they’re seeing a lot of foot traffic and they’re selling their wares, it’s a good sign,” Breau said. Four years ago the Apple Blossom Tyme Festival seemed to be nearing the end of its run. Breau, who has been a member of the organizing committee for ten years, said the group “was really starting to struggle” because of declining numbers, which put the festival in jeopardy. “We weren’t really sure if it could sustain itself,” said the Cramahe Township councillor. “Council had to seriously look at where are we going with this, are we going to continue.” Mayor Marc Coombs stepped in as chair for a year and then Breau took over two years ago. Changes were made, “we moved things around … to find the best venue,” and “the right niche” was found, he said. Today, “we have a perfect combination of retail [and] activities for youth, adults and older crowds.” Visitors came from well outside Northumberland County this year to take part in the fun, drawn to Colborne by an “aggressive” marketing campaign that included Facebook, Twitter and festival web site. The response was “way beyond what we anticipated,” Breau said.

specialty engineering to make that work.” The facility will cook, chill, freeze, package, label and store fruits and vegetables as well as provide product testing and food processing expertise with the involvement of postsecondary institutions. The response has been “very, very good,” particularly from the Greater Toronto Area. Grocery companies and food service companies have shown “a great deal of interest … as to the availability of product” and how to obtain it, Borowec said. “Our phone keeps ringing on a daily basis of individuals wanting to see what capacity the facility has and what it can do.” A rate schedule for the rental of equipment has not yet been

set “We’re very much trying to make it a value-added for members of the agricultural community so the product coming out has a price which is good for them,” he said. County officials will embark on “a travelling show” in July and August that will take them from Kawartha Lakes to Frontenac County to arrange for tours of the facility, so growers can see firsthand “what we’re capable of.” He foresees members of the farming community making plans in early winter about the types of products they will want to have processed. Potential opportunities for second sources of revenue include hops. “There are so many craft brewers right now there’s a shortage

of hops,” he said. “The missing piece [for farmers] has always been how to dry them. We’re looking at a piece of equipment that can also dry other products.” It’s not known at this point how many the centre will employ but the number will ebb and flow, Borowec said. “It’s seasonal. You may need to run a facility virtually 24/7 in order to accommodate those needs.” Between four and six positions could be created, “it depends on what the volumes are like,” he said. “We’re trying to do this very conservatively so we generate revenue to offset costs.” A full-time operations manager has been hired. Northumberland signed a fiveyear lease with Real-Flex to rent space in its building at a cost of $6.25 per square foot.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Push Bill C-23 through Dear Editor, Re. Kyle Morrow comments – May 1 paper. Would like to comment on Mr. Morrow’s “hands off Mr. Harper – right to vote. Mr. Morrow being a law student obviously still educating himself, is obviously not in tune with what is going on in the real world of the right to vote. As a past supervisor of polls and deputy returning officer, twice on both accounts, I would like to advise Mr. Morrow of some practical facts on why the government is absolutely correct on this action. There have been many cases, and I have witnessed this personally, where individuals arrive

at the polling station without identification and/ or other paper work demanding the right to vote. In a number of cases they have demanded voting privileges in a rude and offensive fashion. This is specifically true of new arrivals and some others that do not appear to understand just what voting in Canada and the system is about. If you do not, then get yourselves acquainted people. This is what the Harper government is attempting to eliminate and such action is totally correct. Do not back down on pushing Bill C-23 through prior to the next election. Yours truly N. A. Harris, Havelock

Letters with a political party bias

Dear Editor: The sky is falling … the sky is falling! Yes sir, the Harper government’s Fair Elections Act legislation is the reason if you believe any part of Kyle Morrow’s letter that appeared recently in the Independent (“Hands Off My Right to Vote,” Mr. Harper”). I’m a senior and have been for a long time. Anytime I cast my ballot I’ve been asked to produce ID so what’s all the fuss about “vouching?” I thought just about every resident has some form of ID and if they don’t they must be from another planet. But let’s get right down to the heart of the matter. Kyle Morrow, who refers to himself as a law student, University of Ottawa, is really a dedicated member of the Liberal Party of Canada. So he’s hardly an independent voice in the issue. The forWorkers install solar panels on a building in Colborne’s industrial park that will house Northumberland County’s Ontario Agri mer Liberal candidate for Lacombe-Ponoka in AlFood Venture Centre. The niche food processing facility is expected to become operational in late fall. The price tag for the berta claimed that the Fair Elections Act would improject is close to $2 million.

pact 500,000 voters in Canada. But even the Chief Electoral Officer, who also opposes the Act, says it would impact maybe 100,000. That’s quite a difference. What it does prove is that Mr. Morrow is attempting to be as negative as possible even if he has to exaggerate the facts. I’m simply becoming irritated of reading about the biased rantings of party organizers or officials of any political party. They simply take advantage that newspapers all over the country will print their political propaganda and that’s why they do it. However, readers should understand they are not getting unbiased sentiments. There is a big difference between writers of letters to the editor with no political ties as opposed to someone like Morrow who wears his Liberal red proudly. Rolly Ethier, Campbellford

A New “Longitude Prize”

Editorial - Voting begins this week to choose the problem that the winner of the Longitude Prize 2014 will have to solve—and win £10 million ($17 million). It’s a publicity gimmick, of course, but it may be very useful nevertheless. Especially because, unlike most of these prizes for innovation, it is meant to solve a problem that is of concern to all of humanity. The DARPA Challenges are all Gwynne Dyer about autonomous vehicles and robots, mostly with military applications. The Ansari X Prize was for a low-cost reusable spacecraft capable of sub-orbital flight, and the follow-on Google Lunar X Prize is more of the same. Toys for the boys. The $10 million Tricorder X Prize, announced in 2012, is a bit closer to the mark, as it would reward the development of an instant diagnostic device like the one used by Leonard “Bones” McCoy, the Chief Medical Officer in the original Star Trek series. But the Longitude 2014 Prize is the real deal. It marks the 300th anniversary of the first Longitude Prize, when the British parliament offered £20,000 (a sum comparable to £10 million now) to anyone who could devise a method for finding a ship’s position at sea. Latitude—its distance North or South of the equator—could easily be found by measuring the height of the sun or the Pole Star above the horizon, but there was no good way of determining its East-West position: its longitude. The solution was obvious in principle. You just set your clock at noon at your port of departure, note the time it reads when the sun is highest wherever you are, and the difference between noon on the clock and noon at your present position will tell you your longitude. But your clock must stay accurate during long sea voyages. They had good pendulum clocks in the 18th century, but pendulums didn’t work very well on a rolling, pitching ship. It took a long time to build a chronometer that stayed accurate enough (gaining or losing only a few seconds per month) to let mariners calculate their longitude to within one or two nautical miles, but by 1765 John Harrison, a clockmaker from Lincolnshire, had done the job. He died a rich man, and he deserved his reward: thousands of ships were saved from shipwreck and hundreds of thousands of lives were spared in the century that followed.

By Terry Bush

The new Longitude Prize is all about saving human life (or improving it) on a very large scale. There are six “challenges” on the Longitude Committee’s list, and only one of them will be chosen for the prize. They are: Flight - How can we fly without damaging the environment? Food - How can we ensure everyone has nutritious sustainable food? Antibiotics - How can we prevent the rise of resistance to antibiotics? Paralysis - How can we restore movement to those with paralysis? Water - How can we ensure everyone has access to safe and clean water? Dementia - How can we help people with dementia live independently for longer? When you read the actual “job descriptions” of these challenges, it’s clear that some thought went into it. Consider the antibiotics challenge, for example: “Clinicians often prescribe broad spectrum antibiotics to sick patients because doctors have to act quickly on imperfect information. These methods put selective pressure on microbes to evolve resistance to antibiotics …. “The challenge … will be to create a cheap, accurate, rapid, and easy-to-use test for bacterial infections that will allow doctors and nurses all over the world to better target their treatments, administering the right antibiotics at the right time. Point-of-care test kits will allow more targeted use of antibiotics, and an overall reduction in mis-diagnosis and prescription. This will ensure that the antibiotics we have now will be effective for longer.” So you could win this challenge with a working Tricorder—two Prizes for the price of one?—and the breakthrough idea need not even come from the medical field. As BBC Director-General Tony Hall said when the prize was announced: “There might be another modern-day John Harrison somewhere out there … and they may not even know that they’re a scientist.” It’s a kind of crowd-sourcing, and none the worse for that. The voting to decide which challenge gets the nod opened on May 22 on the BBC Horizon web site, and closes on June 25. Unfortunately, voting is restricted to British residents, but the prize is open to everybody in the world. And maybe there are five other governments out there that would like to put up $10 or $20 million for a solution to one of the other five challenges.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Less government, not more Dear Editor, We have never written a Letter to the Editor before; however, we must respond to Mr. Whittaker’s comments of May 22, 2014. While criticism of Mr. Hudak is fair, he would have done better also to point out the ten McGuinty years of ever increasing provincial deﬁcits, the eHealth ﬁasco, the absolute disgrace of the two gas plants purely to buy provincial seats in the Legislature, and, of course, ORNGE. Oh, but wait, that would not support his arguments against the Conservatives! And has he heard the Ontario Liberals talking about borrowing from the Bank

of Canada? We haven’t. His ﬁnal sentence is utter stupidity! We need less government, not more. The way of more and more government merely adds less and less opportunity, incentive and the wherewithal for us to grow and prosper. Or does Mr. Whittaker not realize that mighty Ontario is now a have-not province? We would posit that this is not a result of less government and the growth of our manufacturing and industrial strength, but of more government and the precipitous decline in our manufacturing and industrial sector. And we need leaders, not politicians,

for the truth is that they are all the same, except for the colour of their ties and campaign posters, and each government, whether provincial or federal continues to prove the point. As electors, we are so tired of their (non)performance with no prospects of improvement. No wonder the young voters are apathetic. We hear much blahblah-blah from the three “leaders” but no vision, no heart for seeing Ontario progress and move ahead. What a bunch!

Editorial - I blinked, and I missed it. Either that or there is some kind of Rip Van Winkle thing going on at the moment and I just woke up. It seems like only a couple of weeks ago, snow could still be found in the woods around our property. The furnace was still blasting and things were cold and damp. We couldn’t wait for spring. Then, in the blink of an eye, the black flies turned up, then the mosquitoes and now the dragonflies are out finishing up the black flies. Summer seems to have arrived this week. I’m always a little taken aback how quickly trees can go from having no leaves to being full-figured. No grass one week turned into cutting the grass twice last week. If it wasn’t for the fact that hockey is still on, one might think it’s July. But hockey is still on and I think I speak for most Canadians when I say, enough is enough. It’s too late in the year for hockey. How hard would it be to start the hockey season the second week of September and have it finish up by the end of May. Three-out-of-five series for the first two rounds. No more than one day off between games and voila, done by the May 24 weekend with a lot of happy campers. Folks are excited about hockey in the fall and have better things to do than sit in front of a television set at 1 p.m. on a Saturday afternoon in May and June. While it may now seem to be summer after a winter that refused to die, a few words with a local farmer will soon set you straight. “Got part of the seeding done but can’t get into the low spots. Too much water around.” Now part of a farmer’s job description has always been complaining about the weather. For the past few years, we haven’t had enough rain. Last year we had almost the right amount of rain and this year, maybe we had a little too much snow on the ground for a little too long. If the crops get in on time, all will be good … especially if that last bit of corn sees the combine in the next week to free up that field of heavy clay for planting. Despite the balmy temperatures, I can tell it’s still spring because the usual suspects are out running over turtles for fun. What joy a person could experience by killing such a benign creature is beyond me. As I’ve said before, it’s not like turtles dart out in front of vehicles. A squirrel or chipmunk, I could understand. They can’t seem to make up their minds at times. I hit a squirrel a couple of weeks ago and of course felt bad about it. Saw it running towards the road out of the corner of my eye, I slowed down, it ran in front of the car, made it half way across the other lane and then for some reason known only to the squirrel, it doubled back and ran right under my front left tire. Not the way most people would want to start their day and probably not what the squirrel had in mind either. Birds, squirrels, chipmunks, frogs, if you’ve driven a car, there’s a very good chance you’ve hit something along the way. Maybe you’ve nailed one of those daredevil robins that like to fly across the road at an altitude of less than a metre. One would think after a couple hundred generations of dealing with vehicles, robins would have figured out that flying at a higher altitude might pave the way to longevity. But turtles? With a clear field of vision, it’s almost impossible to hit a turtle unless it’s one of this year’s models that resembles a clump of dirt on the highway. So, this leads me to believe that most of the people running over turtles for fun are insecure girly-boys. They need to kill something to prove to themselves they have power over life and death and that makes them manly-men. To which I say, how manly are you if you’re using a truck or car as a weapon? Who’s braver, a person who squashes a turtle using a truck or a person who parks their vehicle by the side of the road, gets out, waits for traffic to subside or stop and picks up a snapper and carries it to the side of the road. Seems like a no-brainer to me. And it’s obviously a no-brainer to lots of other people judging by the number of folks I’ve seen stopping in the past couple of years to help turtles cross the street. Old people, young people, women and men seem to understand the gravity of the situation and the tide is starting to turn. Turtles need help if they’re going to survive in this province. With more and more roads and trails being built and more habitat being lost every day, most species of turtles in our province are now threatened. That’s why many folks and a few municipalities are putting out signs warning of turtle crossing areas and many small towns now have volunteers bringing injured turtles to the Kawartha Turtle Trauma Centre in Peterborough, <kawarthaturtle.org>. Seriously, how hard is it to put a pair of gloves in your car and stop and move a turtle across the road in the direction it was headed. If you’re a little squeamish especially about snappers, a shovel will work just fine. Thirty seconds to save a life, that’s all it takes. And it takes about the same amount of time to call the MNR tips line (1-877-TIPS-MNR (847-7667) to report someone killing turtles. Don’t think about it, just do it. Your grandkids and great-grandkids will thank you for it.

Probus club big enough to sponsor a new group By John Campbell

News - Brighton - The Probus Club of Brighton has grown so large a second club is being formed to accommodate people who want to become members. “People get frustrated when they want to be part of something and … can’t because there’s no room for them,” says Liz Riel, one of the halfdozen people responsible for the creation of the Probus Club of Presqu’ile. The Brighton group, which came into being in 2003 with slightly more than 100 members, now has 200, and there’s a waiting list of a dozen or so. “It’s a great problem to have when you’re a victim of your own success,” says Lynda Van Dusen, a former president of the original club, which is sponsoring the Probus Club of Presqu’ile along with the Rotary Club of Brighton. “This is a terriﬁc initiative.” She welcomes the opportunity a second club will be able to furnish “so more people can take advantage of all the Probus has to offer. I have no doubt that this club is going to be a success

because I think there’s a need and the need will increase.” The new club will hold a public meeting June 18 for anyone wishing to become charter members to determine the level of interest that exists. The 10 a.m. meeting will be held at St. Paul’s Anglican Church Hall where members will meet the third Wednesday every

“You don’t have any pressures, you just go and have a good time and meet different people.” month, to hear guest speakers, socialize, enjoy light refreshments, “discuss matters of current importance,” and form interest groups to do such things as play golf or bid euchre, or go on outings, Riel says. “The beauty of Probus is that it’s not a service club, and it’s not a fund-raising club, it’s really a social club,” for people with a professional or business

background who are retired or semiretired, Van Dusen says. Brighton club can’t grow any bigger because “it’s a matter of [being able to have] social interactions with people,” she says. Riel says her group will need at least 25 members to be viable but her hope is “to have 50 to begin with, and then it would go from there.” She notes Probus members can belong to more than one of the nearly 230 clubs in Canada, which, combined, have in excess of 31,000 members. Membership costs $30 a year plus a one-time initiation fee of $25. Probus is “one of the best places to go” if you’re new in town, don’t know anybody, and want “to make connections,” Van Dusen says. With no requirement to fund raise, Brighton Probus president Lynda Van Dusen, on the left, and fellow Probus member Liz Riel believe “you don’t have any pressures, you just the community can support a second club. A meeting will be held 10 a.m. June 18 at St. Paul’s Angligo and have a good time and meet dif- can Church Hall to gauge interest in the idea.

3. “I don’t go to the dentist because I am scared to death”. Dentistry is not like what it is used to be. There are so many newer types of numbing agents that can help minimize anxiety and discomfort. Things like Nitrous Oxide, so called laughing gas, and other medications can be used to help patients feel at ease during appointments. This is known as sedation dentistry. Lasers and air abrasion technology can even reduce the need for needles and drills for certain cavities.

As dentists, we see many different types of patients in our day-to-day practice. Many of these patients are well aware of the importance of oral health as part of an overall healthy lifestyle. However, occasionally we encounter some patients who avoid going to see their dentist for many different But again, the more regularly reasons. Here is a list of some you go to see your dentist, the less likely you will need larger common reasons: complex treatments. 1. “I don’t go to the dentist because nothing is bothering me” 4. “I don’t go to dentists because A lack of discomfort does not every time I go, my dentist finds a mean a lack of disease.

These are often very quiet does not mean you may not have conditions but when they become one. If you have a cavity, you have noticeable, it is usually too late a cavity regardless of whether to treat them or much damage you go to see your dentist or not. may have already occurred. Most Knowing that a cavity is present cavities and gum disease are very means that you as a patient are quiet and go unnoticeable.

There are Dentistry can be expensive. many dentists in the Quinte Area However, it is important to know who now offer appointments in that preventative dentistry is the evenings and weekends to suit much less costly than treatments your busy life. that are used to correct problems resulting from oral diseases. For example, the cost for 10 – 20 preventive cleanings and check-ups is similar to the cost of fixing only one tooth with a toothache. People who spend the least amount of money in a dental office tend to be those who see their dentist regularly. This is why most insurance companies pay 80 – 100 percent of preventive treatments; they realize that in the long run, less money will be spent if people see their dentist

6. “I don’t go to the dentist because I am going to get dentures later anyways”. Remember, dentures and partials are NOT true replacements for your teeth. Dentures alone are non-fixed plastic plates that attempt to replace your teeth that are typically solid and anchored in your mouth. Also remember that having dentures means that you now have to think about what you can or cannot eat. Ideally, it is best to avoid dentures if at all possible

Ontario ParaSport Games in Northumberland

By John Campbell

News - Cramahe Township - The Ontario ParaSport Games make their Northumberland County debut May 30, after months of preparations involving hundreds of volunteers. “We’re all excited, enthusiastic, we just can’t wait [for them to begin],” Games chair Paul Macklin told council May 20 when he and county director of economic development and tourism Dan Borowec appeared as a delegation. They were there to ask permission for a road closure to accommodate the handcycling road race trials that will have Colborne as their starting point May 31. Handcycling is one of eight sports for people with physical disabilities that will be held in venues across the county. The others are amputee golf, blind golf, boccia, para-equestrian, sledge hockey, wheelchair basketball, and wheelchair rugby. Approximately 350 athletes and supporters are expected to turn out. National training camps and tryouts for sitting volleyball, para soccer, para-cycling and paratriathlon will also be taking place in Northumberland next week. Preparing for the games has been a massive undertaking and “there have been moments when you needed a good sense of humour,” Macklin said. “We are obviously quite thrilled that we’ve got to this point … [and] we’re really pleased that all the major issues have been resolved.”

Admission to the sporting events is free; to find out when and where they will be played go online to <www.2014parasportgames. ca/en/Index.asp>. Tickets to attend the opening ceremonies are $20 apiece. The celebration will get under way at 7 p.m. May 30 at the Cobourg Community Centre. Canadian singer-songwriter Alan Frew, of Glass Tiger, whose song, I Believe, was the official song of the 2010 Winter Olympics, will be the headliner. The evening will include a video directed at visitors “to make sure that everybody knows where Northumberland is and how wonderful this place is to live, work and play,” Macklin said. People “laughed when we said one of the sports that we have is blind golf,” he said, but wait until you see them in action, “they are amazing.” The athletes “will be putting on quite a show for us,” he said. “If we don’t get inspired by them … to do more, and engage ourselves in recreational activities, with all the facilities that we have in the county. I’ll be surprised. That’s an important part of what’s going on.” Macklin encouraged spectators to talk to the athletes, “they’re not going to be isolated.” Borowec said the handcycling time trials will take place between 8 and 11 a.m., with the starting point being outside the municipal office building. A road race will held the next day out of Brighton.

The participants included Karen Smith, of Trenton, who has multiple sclerosis. For the past nine years she has been helped by a special skills dog named Jag who performs a variety of tasks that make her life easier. “He’s trained to go for help if Karen just says the word,” said Smith’s friend, Gordon MacDonald. He does everything “except make coffee,” Smith joked. “I cannot imagine my life without him.” However, Jag is about to retire and ﬁnd a new home as a pet so Smith has applied to be matched with a younger dog to take Jag’s place.

Serving Brighton and Quinte Area “QUALITY BEYOND REPROACH” R0012163424

News - Brighton - Over the years Lions member Harvey Moore has seen numerous examples of the good that guide dogs can do for their owners and he had long wanted to organize a local walk as a fund raiser for the program. “But I just felt it wasn’t the time here— until this year,” he said. His timing proved perfect. The Brighton Lions Club held the community’s first Purina Walk for Dog Guides last Saturday and the response was so gratifying that Moore was able to say he and his committee had “done quite a good job, judging by the amount of money that’s coming in and the number of people [taking part].” Around 20 people with 13 dogs in tow showed up at Memory Junction Museum for the walk at 9 a.m. and the result was about $5,235 raised for the Lions Foundation of Canada. “We weren’t expecting this for the first time,” Moore said. New events “usually start off pretty low.” Moore once sat on the board of the foundation, which uses money collected from walks held across Canada to breed, raise, train and pair dog guides with Canadians who have a medical or physical disability. Even though it costs the foundation about $25,000 to train and place each dog guide and it does not receive any government funding, the animals are provided to qualified applicants at no cost. Moore told the walkers and their supporters it was “quite amazing” how many people showed up and he congratulated them for the “marvellous job” they had

Murray Canal bridge debate goes on By Ray Yurkowski

News - Brighton - Municipal council is still looking for answers regarding the Murray Canal swing bridge replacement project. Resolutions ratiďŹ ed at the council meeting on May 5 asking Parks Canada to halt the project fell on deaf ears. With no reply received from that request, municipal ofďŹ cials are trying again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe we have to hit home once again with a very stern request that we need this project stopped,â&#x20AC;? said Deputymayor Mike Vandertoorn, at their regular meeting last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need it put on hold until we have more information to move forward.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;New information, from numerous sources, is now available,â&#x20AC;? Murray Canal District Organization co-chairperson Dave Dingle told council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parks Canada has not suspended its single-lane bridge project and there are no plans to do so.â&#x20AC;? Further, said Dingle, â&#x20AC;&#x153;procurement could begin very soon. While we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the speciďŹ cs, it could happen as early as June. Once it begins, it will make the effort to suspend the process that much more difďŹ cult.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have also been told the Build Canada option is not available as a source of additional funding to pay the difference in cost between a single-lane and a two-lane bridge with a pedestrian walkway,â&#x20AC;? he added. Dingle also mentioned how local MP Rick Norlock is â&#x20AC;&#x153;working behind the

scene,â&#x20AC;? focused on ďŹ nding additional federal dollars along with preserving current funding. According to reports, the result of Norlockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts, successful or not, will be known within the next couple of weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Mr. Norlock is unsuccessful, he and this council will be remembered as being responsible for saddling this community with a single-lane bridge without having properly communicated with the community and for not having explored all possible means of getting the bridge renewed,â&#x20AC;? said Dingle, as he proposed a four- to six-week period after the MPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts had been exhausted to investigate the next steps for the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The downside is we might have to look somewhere else for funding but on the other hand, if we leave it alone without doing anything, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be the people who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take any action to avert this from happening,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My impression is our MP seems to know what is going on and the level of concern that has been generated by this issue,â&#x20AC;? offered Councillor John Martinello. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that a junior level of government putting pressure on a senior level of government is being very productive.â&#x20AC;? The ďŹ nal resolution came about thanks to a collaboration of suggestions from council as well as those still in the gallery. Council unanimously approved asking Minister of Environment, Leona Aglukkaq, to suspend further action on

the bridge providing three weeks to receive word on additional federal funding plus an additional six weeks to investigate next steps. During the discussion, Councillor Tom Rittwage mentioned the federal focus on economy and jobs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The government has been very clear about jobs, jobs, jobs and the economy,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The prime minister will tell you, from what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen in the media, his number one concern is the economy.â&#x20AC;? The Brighton-Cramahe Chamber of Commerce waded into the debate last week with the release of a letter addressed to MP Rick Norlock. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Chamber of Commerce believes that a single-lane bridge may signiďŹ cantly hamper economic growth as well as adding operating costs to existing businesses in our area,â&#x20AC;? wrote ofďŹ ce manager Sherry Hamilton in an email to the membership. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We encourage you to consider supporting this initiative.â&#x20AC;? President Eric Davidson signed a copy on behalf of the Chamber and local businesses are being asked to forward a copy of their own. The letter concludes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;At a time when it is vital for our town, our province and our country to be proactive in providing infrastructure vital to supporting a growing economy, a single-lane bridge would be putting that in jeopardy. Business in our region cannot afford to be limited by the federal government reducing our services.â&#x20AC;?

a new war memorial in time for Remembrance Day 2012. Phase two proposes adding a new wall of honour and benches. The second stage of the project was given the green light by municipal council in August 2013. Legion spokesperson, retired Brigadier-General Ian Douglas attended a council meeting the following month, explaining how a trio of â&#x20AC;&#x153;citizen volunteersâ&#x20AC;? had already done the work,â&#x20AC;? deciding materials, design, cost, creating a business plan and initiating contact with Veterans Affairs Canada, in an effort to secure funding. But a committee approved by councilâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Councillors Tom Rittwage and Emily Rowley, along with Douglas and staff supportâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;was a deal breaker and a presentation promised in August never happened. According to MacKenzie, that trio â&#x20AC;&#x153;stands ready to complete the design and planning,â&#x20AC;? once council gives approval in principle to the proposal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Time precludes the establishment of a joint Legion-council approach,â&#x20AC;? he wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As well, with all approvals resting solely with council, a joint committee is unnecessary. The work to be undertaken by the Legion team would include a statement of workâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;design, cost estimates, etc.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;and an application for municipal submission to VAC. Once complete, these documents would be submitted to council for ďŹ nal approval.â&#x20AC;? In a recorded vote, council unanimously supported the correspondence.

News - Brighton - The Brighton Legion has extended an olive branch in the hope of completing phase two of the cenotaph project at Memorial Park. In a letter to council, Royal Canadian Legion Branch 100 president Brian MacKenzie says they are â&#x20AC;&#x153;willing to move forward in good faith.â&#x20AC;? But time is running out if there is any hope of using a Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) matching funding program; it ends in 2015 and only three submission dates remain: July 2, October 1 and January 2, 2015. Further, VAC now requires that contractorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quotes be submitted with the application. Phase one of the project ended with the successful completion of the new cenotaph, construction of a new walkway along with placement of new ďŹ&#x201A;agpoles and lighting at Memorial Park.

and the three municipalities asked me to hold a public meeting to explain to folks what was occurring,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was told, in boxcar letters, the local people thought it was unacceptable and they wanted a bridge of sufďŹ cient width. I asked the park superintendent to get me an estimate of how much a bigger, better bridge would cost. It came back and it was about double the price, $10.3 million, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an estimate.â&#x20AC;?

Council says no to waterfront testing at Gosport News - Brighton - Every year, during the current four-year term of municipal council, Councillor John Martinello has proposed a beachfront water quality monitoring program at Gosport and every year the plan

has been defeated. It was no different this time around. And the reasons for not backing the proposal also remained the same for Deputy-mayor Mike Vandertoorn along with Councillors Craig Kerr, Tom Rittwage and Emily Rowley,

who voted against the program. Liability topped the list. “It sounds to me like what we’re trying to do is test the water to see if our lagoon is seeping pollutants into the bay,” said Rittwage. “We already test our lagoon. We know what’s going

A new park for Fido By Ray Yurkowski

News - Brighton - At their regular meeting last week, municipal council approved establishing a new dog park. The bylaw authorizes municipal ofﬁcials to ink an initial 25year deal with local businessman Doug Leblanc for land along County Road 64. To be named the “Pepper-Hunter Dog Park,” the 6.5 acres will be leased until June 15, 2039, for the sum of two dollars. In his report, parks director Jim Millar says he and public works director Andrzej Drzewiecki, planning manager Ken Hurford, and Brighton Off-Leash Dog Recreation Association (BOLDRA) representative Ken McClintock agree: there is more than enough land for the dog park along with the creation of a small parking lot. Municipals crews will also install fencing around a 2.5-acre parcel of the lot. Once funding is in place, phase two

will add the remainder to provide separate areas for large and small dogs. In March, council approved a deal with BOLDRA to earn revenue through the sale of dog tags. As well as ensuring the payment of a start-up loan, municipal ofﬁcials hope the door-to-door campaign will identify households with dogs and aid in enforcing current animal-control bylaws. During discussion, Councillor John Martinello asked, “Do we know what the maintenance costs are going to be for this?” “They will be minimal, because BOLDRA is willing to do a lot of the work within the facility,” explained Deputy-mayor Mike Vandertoorn. “They’ve made that offer right up front.” Then Martinello wondered about start-up costs, even though they’re already included in the 2014 budget. “We feel we can do this ﬁrst section within the $20,000,” said

Millar. “That’s why we’re doing the ﬁrst parcel.” “We’ve had this discussion before,” said Councillor Tom Rittwage. “We’ve talked about the fact that BOLDRA will be taking care of most of the maintenance and the money they earn from selling dog tags will be revenue to pay back the loan.” “This is a good-news story for the community,” he added. “To me, it’s a no-brainer. We’ve got a generous citizen who is willing to give us land. “I can’t wait for this thing to pass so we can get the fences up and get our dogs running.” Councillor Mary Tadman hoped the new dog park “will help remediate some of the problems in Proctor Park.” “There’s dogs running off leash and there’s been lots of problems,” she said. In a recorded vote, only Martinello was opposed.

Staff given authority to perform civil marriages By John Campbell

News - Cramahe Township Council has given its clerk and deputy clerk authority “to provide marriage solemnization services”—in other words, perform civil marriages. Up until 2004 only judges and justices of the peace had been allowed “to solemnize marriages,” deputy-clerk Candice Doiron said in a report, but the province changed the Marriage Act to al-

low municipalities to provide the same service as well. That’s because judges and justices had been directed “to focus on their court-related duties,” which reduced access to civil marriage services. “For various reasons, the number of civil marriages in the province is on the increase, with approximately 7,000 being performed annually,” Doiron stated. She said it was “difﬁcult to

on with our wastewater treatment plant. The reason I will oppose this is, if we are going to take responsibility for the people who swim in that bay, you’re in for a penny, you’re in for a pound,” as he cited decades-old practices along the Gosport waterfront that have been dealt with a blind eye by municipal ofﬁcials. “I’m not about to be part of opening up that can of worms,” he added. “It’s my responsibility to decide where my children swim. I would suggest we educate people about where you can and can’t swim.”

“I guess you’re saying the taxpayers of Brighton are second-class citizens,” countered Martinello. “In the City of Kingston, they test the beaches. In Prince Edward County, they test the beaches. In the City of Toronto, they test the beaches.” The question for Vandertoorn was whether Gosport is, in fact, “a formalized beach.” “Where was this at budget time?” he asked. “We allocated zero dollars for this. As well, there are those that say we have no liability. Does that mean you have to jump out and invite liability? If we decide to go ahead

and start testing on the Gosport shoreline, we better give due consideration to other shoreline locations.” The ﬁnal word went to Rowley. “If you think the bay is unsafe, just don’t go swimming there,” she said. That’s when Rittwage suggested posting signs advising, “swim at your own risk,” at all municipally owned shoreline locations. Council approved asking for a staff report regarding “the placement, liability and cost” of the signs.

Brighton Prom Parade

At a recent breakfast meeting with graduate students, East Northumberland Secondary School principal Jeff Kawzenuk advised, “Be smart and stay safe” during prom night celebrations. After the wet conditions served up by Mother Nature during the annual prom parade last week, he should have added, “Stay dry.” But despite the soggy weather, the annual extravaganza of grand entrances still wound its way through downtown Brighton to the year-end formal dinner and dance at the curling club.

DAIRY MONTH

Enjoy dairy for good health

Nutrients in dairy products can be good for your health. To some people, dairyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation for contributing to high cholesterol and weight gain is a misconception thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to let go of. But dairyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s detractors should know the right dairy products enjoyed in moderation can actually be good for your health for a variety of reasons. Consuming dairy products as part of a nutrient-rich diet is important for individuals of all ages. Dairy products have many nutrients and vitamins essential to good health. Calcium, protein, phosphorus, potassium, and supplemented vitamins A and D are all nutrients the body needs. Calcium, for example, is necessary to build and maintain strong bones. Osteoporosis, a condition wherein the bones weaken and are more susceptible to injury, can affect anyone, but it is particularly common among women age 50 and older. The National Institutes of Health say as many as half of all women and a quarter of men older than 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis. To keep bones strong, health professionals recommend eating a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D -- both of which are found in dairy products. Eating low-fat dairy products can reduce a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s risk of developing cancer. Studies have shown that

populations that eat a high amount of calcium-rich foods have a lower incidence of colorectal cancer. According to child health authority Dr. Sears, calcium controls the multiplication of epithelial cells lining the colon. Fast multiplication of these cells increases a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s risk of developing cancer. The best sources of calcium include bony fish and dairy products like yogurt. Dairy products, especially milk, are also essential for different health benefits. Drinking milk helps protect the enamel surface of teeth against acidic substances. This helps prevent tooth decay and weakening enamel. Milk and other dairy products might also help maintain healthy skin. Dairy also plays a role in digestive health. Consumption of milk products may help in reducing acidity in the stomach. Yogurts with active cultures have been known to promote healthy digestion and alleviate occasional irregularity. Individuals with lactose intolerance, a food sensitivity where there are inadequate levels of lactase in the body necessary to break down the lactose sugar in dairy products, may avoid dairy foods. However, information from the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board says that those with

a lactose intolerance can still handle at least two cups of milk a day if taken with food and spread throughout the day. Research also indicates that consuming small amounts of lactosecontaining foods may improve lactose tolerance over time. Dairy products, like milk, cheese, yogurt, creams, and even ice cream, can provide much of the daily recommended allowances of vital vitamins and minerals. Low-fat dairy products are important components of a healthy diet.

Senior volunteers set to restore Sabre jet for air park By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - Senior volunteers at the National Air Force Museum of Canada will be restoring the F-86 Sabre jet in the Air Park. “They will use the $25,000 grant from New Horizons for Seniors Program,” said executive director Chris Colton. “It will supply all the materials and tools needed.” Curator Kevin Windsor added that, of course, the volunteers work for free, and that the total amount of grant will be used for materials within

one year. “We need a new sandblaster machine,” he said. “This is a good bonus.” MP Rick Norlock said he was happy to present the cheque which accompanies $5 million across Canada for the program for seniors. He said the Sabre jet, now painted with the Golden Hawk design, represents Canadian history. “This aircraft is significant to the country,” he said. “It was used in Korea and has many roots in the Canadian Air Force.”

Kevin Windsor said they will not only strip the paint and patch up the jet, but will make it bird-proof. “That’s what destroys it,” he said. “The birds are very destructive. They get inside and make nests and leave debris.” He said this particular aircraft flew out of Chatham as a trainer. Norlock added the story of the Sabre goes back over 60 years, in service since 1948 to 1958. This one has been at the Air Park since 1994. In its day it flew 973 kilometres an hour

designed as a fighter jet with one pilot in the ejection seat. About 12 volunteers will be refurbishing the jet, which will be taken to ATESS first to get the paint off in a controlled environment then to the paint shop with Canadian Forces help. It will take about a year to restore. The grant money must be used up by March 30, 2015. Several skilled volunteers, mostly seniors, work in the back room of the museum restoring vintage aircraft, including the now fully restored Halifax bomber centrepiece. “It took over $1 million to restore the Halifax,” Windsor

noted. He added that some of the seniors who worked on the Halifax are now gone. Rick Norlock says he values the thousands of hours these dedicated volunteers do in projects around the museum. Colton said this iconic aircraft also has local roots, as Ernie Glover from Trenton flew it for the U.S. Air Force in Korea. It has also served with NATO forces in Germany. The Sabre was eventually replaced by the CF 104 Starfighter. Colton added that the first woman to break the speed record did it in a Sabre jet. She

was based here at 8 Wing Trenton. Mayor John Williams noted that Belleville had its jet redone too. He said Quinte West still has one in front of the Trenton arena. Colton said, eventually, the museum will build one large hangar for all its aircraft in the Air Park. “We will be starting a new fund-raising drive,” he said, adding that the museum itself is finally paid for. The structure will be 300,000 square feet, basically just a floor, walls and roof, heated and air conditioned. “We aren’t building a new museum,” he added with a smile.

PET OF THE WEEK! Bitzi

We have an adoption process which includes an application and contract. Our adoption fees are $75. for kittens and $50. for cats. which includes spay/neuter, first, vaccines, deworm and deflea. Thanks for supporting CCSNI which is an all volunteer organization. Donations are always appreciated.

This is Bitzi - she is a lovely gold spotted tabby. Bitzi allows people to pet her at feeding time only. If you’re lucky you can steal a pat while she sleeps silently in dreamland. Bitzi might need time and patience to feel comfortable with a dog. She will probably become more affectionate in a home with fewer cats than her current foster home. Please help Bitzi find her forever home. Bitzi may indeed find that humans can be her best friends once she is in her forever home with fewer felines to interact with. Please remember kitten season is here and we desperately need loving foster homes so we can rescue some of the helpless ones and find them loving forever homes too. Without foster homes we are unable to rescue and the cats and kittens and they will have to be returned to an undeserved life outside without the love and care they should have. We are also looking for barns, out buildings or very patient accepting homes for feral cats that need to be relocated. They are spayed/ neutered. We will trap them and bring to you. We do not charge an adoption fee but ask for a donation. Thank you for your consideration.

OPP looking for two more auxiliary constables By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - The newly graduated Quinte West OPP Auxiliary Unit needs two more auxiliary constables. “We are looking for two additional auxiliary constables to complete the ten-member unit,” reported Staff Sergeant Dave Tovell to the Police Services Board. The unit now consists of seven new auxiliary constables and one auxiliary sergeant, Craig Semple, who has transferred to this position. The seven graduated on March 28 after attending the OPP General Headquarters for a one week training course. The graduation was attended by outgoing commissioner Chris Lewis and new OPP commissioner Vince Hawkes. “The new unit was quickly mobilized into the community of Quinte West,” Tovell added. “Upon returning from graduation they had a number of community engagements to attend.” Board chair Jim Alyea commented, “I attended the graduation in Orillia with Mayor John Williams. We are good in this area now.” Ron Hamilton said we are very fortunate to have this group of volunteers working with the OPP. Tovell said the volunteers are so enthusiastic. They have already developed a bond within their own network. They range in age from 21 to 39, some from business backgrounds, others just out of school.

“It’s a fantastic program,” he said. He noted the auxiliary constables will be at the CFB Trenton open house on May 31 and were already out with the Torch Run through town. Mike Mason asked when they will complete the unit with two more constables. Tovell said they will revisit the applications. “There are a lot of applicants and a lot of screening,” he said. “The ones who got through should be proud.” Chuck Lane, president of the Community Policing, said he is really impressed with the auxiliary. Acting Auxiliary Sergeant Craig Semple said he started out in Northumberland. He is happy with the new recruits. One of their jobs will be talking to homeowners to limit break-ins, by improving lighting around their homes and keeping

keys out of sight. “It helps bring people peace of mind,” he said. “I looked at my place a whole new way.” He said the auxiliary will have ongoing training, in areas such as elder abuse and drugs. They will accompany constables on their rounds. “They will be an extra pair of eyes and ears in the cruiser,” he said. He noted the seven have already put in over 150 hours last month. The new unit members are Richard Machell, Alexandra Maclean, Brandon Miller, Bret Polan, Darryl Richards, Reginald SaintDic and Robert Woolard. People interested in applying to become a member of the auxiliary unit are asked to submit applications to the Quinte West OPP detachment.

Sponsors needed for new event at the 2014 fair plained. “We need to obtain sponsorships. Not only does it help to pay for this event but it is actually part of the whole show as people/groups/businesses can ‘buy/ sponsor’ a pig and when that pig races their name is mentioned and it is all part of the entertainment. Business banners can also be displayed on the fairgrounds for some great advertising,” she added. “Ken Jen Zoo, <www.kenjenzoo.com>, has been delivering their special brand of affordable family entertainment coast to coast in Canada for four decades while also supplying tame animal displays for film, television and commercial photography.” Ken Jen Zoo opened its doors 40 years ago. In that time the couple have taken their show on the road and travelled from coast to coast. “I’ve been holding pig racing for the past ten years,” LaSalle told the Trent Hills Independent. Located on about 40 acres of

land he has several hundred animals. His petting zoo has been a fixture at the Orono Fair for the past 40 years. His reputation as an “animal whisperer” follows him wherever he goes. “You all come and participate at our Celebrity Hog Racing event. It’s a flag waving, tail waggin’ jolly good time for the whole family,” said LaSalle. The race begins with the “Call to the Post” plus the sound of a bell “and they’re off.” “Come watch Brittany Spareribs and Screaming Charlie Swine race to the finish line for Smarties. It’s not just racing hogs but a Down Home Hillbilly show. Bring your camera to capture all the fun and stick around after the show to meet and greet some of the stars,” Lasalle said enthusiastically. There will be three shows at the fall fair on Saturday and three shows on Sunday. Each show will feature five

ArtWorth summer camp will help kids explore art and nature

News - Warkworth - “ArtWorth … Naturally” is the theme of the 2014 Trent Hills art camp that will bring a cornucopia of creativity to children and youth in Warkworth. “ArtWorth will be featuring an exploration of art in nature and nature in art; we invite kids to stretch their imaginations and explore their creativity through pottery, primitive toy building, tie dyed kite building, drawing and painting, creative movement and more,” said Trish York, local artist and project co-ordinator. “Every year we build on what we’ve done before,” York added. This is her ninth year affiliated with ArtWorth. “Last year we had a link with the seniors in town, we took garden villages that the kids made to Mill Creek Manor and the nursing home and the library,” she explained. “This year kids will be baking cookies and they will be judged by the seniors at Mill Creek Manor and they will be going there for games that same afternoon,” she explained. This year the youngsters will be connecting with the Abundance Food Project, to learn how to make the cookies. The connection with seniors “made us look at our heritage too,” York added. ArtWorth includes a trip to Lang Pioneer Village providing the children with a chance to explore art from a pioneer perspective, with both demonstrations and hands on experience in soap making, blacksmithing, weaving, and smoke firing. “They will not only have a lot of interactive stuff to do but will also be making their own artefacts and smoke firing them there,” said York. The pottery they make at Frantic Farms Clay and Glass Gallery during the summer camp experience will be fired at Lang. The youngsters will also be building water wheels and learning to make paint from scratch and tinting it themselves. “They will also be learning to square

dance and line dance … and on the last day we will have the Potter Band [George and Alice Potter] come to play the fiddle.” ArtWorth is Trent Hills’ first art camp for kids ages seven to 13 years. Professional artists create this quality experience for children at the camp which provides a caring, fun, safe place for kids to learn and express themselves through the arts, York explained. The camp will be held from July 14 to July 25 based out of St. Paul’s United Church. The summer camp usually has about 30 youngsters register. A maximum of 40 can be accepted. Registration is available online or people can drop by Frantic Farms. The cost is $200 per week but there are bursaries available on an “as-needed basis.” ArtWorth gets its funding through registration fees with additional help from community sponsors for special projects. This year ArtWorth received support from the Warkworth Community Service Club, Cameco, and the Campbellford Seymour Community Foundation.

“This is also a great oppor- munity hours by helping at tunity for high school students the camp. to volunteer,” said York. For more information go They can earn their com- to: <www.artworth.ca>.

County lays groundwork for new planning regime with official plan assumes its new planning role, Savill said. According to a draft budget that’s been put together, “PRMPA municipalities could be looking at cost savings” of as much as 50 per cent under the new arrangement, she said. Municipalities will be charged fees for additional services provided beyond the baseline but many of those would be passed on to a developer or applicant for a subdivision, Savill pointed out. “It’s still important that those fees be as low as possible when we’re accommodating development,” she added. Savill stressed to council members “the work that is currently being done will continue to be done at your level … This is replacing the work that the PRMPA planner might have been doing.” Councillor Ed Van Egmond asked if the new structure would remove council’s ability “to oppose something that is brought forward from the county.” Savill said “the idea is to work very, very closely with staff and ensure the issues are resolved before they become confrontational, so very rarely would we anticipate having differences of opinion because we’re all working from the same document.” Cramahe council went along with the recommendation from the Pine Ridge Municipal Planning Authority Board that it be dissolved. “This makes perfect sense,” Mayor Marc Coombs said of the new planning structure being fashioned. Savill said discussions on an agreement for contracted planning services will continue with a view to having one be in place by August if it’s found to be “in the best interests” of both the member municipality and the county. “We would be in a position then to ensure that we hired the right person to handle the contracts as well as the other planning responsibilities that will come to the county,” she said. Northumberland “may look at contracting out a planner rather than hiring” one, Lovshin said. “We’re just not sure what that financial impact might be,” Savill said later, as the options are a full- or part-time position or a contract position.

Brighton Council approves archival agreement By Ray Yurkowski

News - Brighton - At their regular meeting last week, Brighton council approved storing historic municipal documents at the Northumberland County archives. “This is an issue we’ve discussed a number of times in the past and it never goes away,” said deputy clerk Vicki Kimmett as she introduced her report. Currently, the records are kept in three locations: upstairs and downstairs vaults at 35 Alice Street and at Hilton Hall. The problem is none of the vaults are temperature or humidity controlled and, notes Kimmett, “at least two of the vaults have a very real problem with dampness and mould.” “It seeps into the documents,” she told council. “We really have to do something.” In 2011, council considered establishing its own archive centre but the costs were too high. Further, the Ontario Municipal Act holds a municipality accountable for the preservation of their records and, as it stands now, Brighton is not meeting that obligation. The documents date from 1837 to amalgamation in 2001. Included in a review, by county archivist Emily Cartlidge, were vital statistics, assessment and collectors rolls, bylaws, council minutes, financial records and more. While the majority of materials were in good condition, many items presented signs of mould and deterioration and are in need of repair. Included in the archival service agreement, the records will be cleaned, repaired and stored in acid-free containers in an additional effort to increase their life span and accessibility. The municipality would remain the owner of the documents and would be able to access them with county officials acting as custodian. “I think this is the best solution,” said Kimmett. The annual cost for the service is about $1,880.

ten questions followed by questions from the floor. Topics ranged from the high cost of hydro to skills training to jobs, the provincial deficit, the future of agriculture in rural Ontario and the mandatory pension being proposed by Premier Kathleen Wynne, who is also Minister of Agriculture and Food and Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs. Even the Premier’s dual role was up for debate. Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan kept the spotlight on the issue of electricity costs asking which of the candidates would support a “comprehensive service delivery review” and include municipal and public consultation on the issue. Candidates were also asked about their party’s plans to provide access to secondary school programs for rural youth, to policy surrounding farm land loss and farm land protection and accessibility of health care and quality medical services to rural and small town residents.

One audience member “Peter” who said he is a diabetic, asked why the government cut funding for test strips that diabetics use to monitor their blood sugar. Bob Brown, a farrier, raised the issue of the Liberals cutting the slot funding to the horse racing industry. “It’s directly affecting farmers in the area,” he noted.

Marlena Sculthorpe of Port Hope questioned the candidates on their party’s stance on “water to energy facilities” in light of the proposed incinerator project slated for her town. “My question touches on everything we’ve discussed tonight, the Green Energy Act, health, environment, protecting rural farmland, and supporting young

farmers,” she said. Alan Appleby of Campbellford asked the candidates what they would do about “the huge burden of infrastructure and social service costs downloaded onto municipalities”. In closing remarks candidates provided some parting volleys in the hopes of garnering votes.

Help Centre assists with income tax returns

News - Campbellford - With tax season coming to a close, the Help Centre of Northumberland reports another very busy year for its Community Volunteer Income Tax Program. More than 1,400 returns were completed in March and April alone through the Help Centre and its team of volunteers. A total of 221 claims have been done for residents of Trent Hills to date, 84 through outreach clinics held here, and another 137 were done in the Cobourg office, again for Trent Hills residents. The Centre received a “generous” donation from the Rotary Club of Cobourg

this year too. Rotary provided more than $4,300 to assist the small, non-profit agency to keep their Community Volunteer Income Tax Program running strong and providing outreach sessions to reach rural Northumberland residents. “We can’t thank the Rotary Club of Cobourg enough,” said Board Chair Krista Skutovich. “Rotary members really understood the need for this program locally, and recognized the huge economic spinoff effects it has in our county.” Last year the Help Centre assisted with more than 1,700 income tax returns, which generated over $1.5 million in refunds to Northumberland residents,

“a significant amount that is put back into the local economy”. The centre provides income tax preparation services year round for eligible residents, although the busiest times are March and April for tax season, and also July, for late filers that receive notice of interruption of Child Tax Benefits. Income tax preparation not only provides clients with the refunds they are entitled to, but it is also a necessary first step to access many other government programs and benefits, so this program is vital to assist clients with many other needs, explained Skutovich. “Without our income tax volunteers and groups like

Rotary to donate project assistance, these types of much-needed services just wouldn’t be possible. We are so grateful to Rotary for supporting this initiative.” The centre provides a range of services related to income and housing, and relies on donations and funding from groups like United Way, Rotary, and individual donors. The centre is always looking for volunteers for a variety of programs. For more information on tax return assistance, to volunteer or donate, contact the centre at 905-372-2646 or toll free at 1-888-698-3382.

News - Campbellford - Rising hydro costs sparked a great deal of interest at last week’s provincial all-candidates meeting held at the high school here, topping the list of questions. It was one topic on which all party candidates agreed that a solution needs to be found. Hosted by the Trent Hills and District Chamber of Commerce, this was the first all-candidates debate held in Northumberland County leading up to the June 12 election. Four candidates have thrown their hats into the ring for the riding of Northumberland-Quinte West. A record number of people showed up for the debate, about 150, which compares to the seven who turned out for the 2007 debate and the 13 for the 2011 debate, according to incumbent Progressive Conservative MPP Rob Milligan, of Warkworth. He is being challenged by former Liberal MPP Lou Rinaldi of Brighton, NDP candidate Kira Mees of Hastings and Green Party candidate Gudrun LudorfWeaver of Cobourg.

Go fly a kite takes on new meaning at celebration By Sue Dickens

News - Trent Hills - Friends of Ferris Park was quite happy telling people to â&#x20AC;&#x153;go ďŹ&#x201A;y a kiteâ&#x20AC;? at the 13th annual Kite Day held recently in a ďŹ eld just south of the provincial park entrance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a beautiful day and we had 126 people come out to ďŹ&#x201A;y kites with their family and friends,â&#x20AC;? said Anne Kidd, a member of the Friends of Ferris board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people brought their own kites, but everyone was able to decorate and ďŹ&#x201A;y kites made by the Friends of Ferris group,â&#x20AC;? explained Kidd. Everyone who decorated a kite had their name put into a draw for prizes. The grand prize draw winner was the Greg Chartrand family of Campbellford, who won a kite shaped like a two-masted ship which had been donated by Sylvia Rundle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were at least 14 volunteers from the community who came to help out on the Sunday, not to mention all the work that went into preparing the ďŹ eld and kites,â&#x20AC;? said Kidd. Friends of Ferris president Barb Josh and Kevin McCarthy of Campbellford decorate their kites at the 13th annual Friends of Ferris Hogan and husband Bob with longkite day. Photo: Anne Kidd

Public Notice

time friend Nancy Malcolm made sure everyone was fed with a fund-raising barbecue at the event. Friends of Ferris is a non-proďŹ t group of volunteers that are constantly bringing special events and promotions unique to Ferris Provincial Park. Members assist in the maintenance of trails, trail markers and have installed trail benches so park visitors can sit and enjoy the area. A major project undertaken by

the Friends in partnership with the Campbellford Rotary Club meant a new picnic shelter was built by volunteers and it can be used for family gatherings, company picnics and special events. Another recent improvement was the purchase and installation of playground equipment. As well the group purchased an allterrain wheelchair for use in the park.

Dancers shine spotlight on Volunteer & Information Quinte By Stephen Petrick

Entertainment - Belleville - It was sizzling, it was sexy, it was fashionable and it was fun. But, more important, it raised big money for Volunteer & Information Quinte. The organization hosted the seventh annual Dancing with the Stars of Quinte at the Yardmen Arena last Friday night and, as usual, the event didn’t disappoint. Seven couples took to a checkerboard dance floor and wowed an audience of more than 800 with well-choreographed dances in glitzy wardrobes under bright disco ball lights. Each routing featured some daring moves and energetic music to fit a theme. There was jazz funk, swing, dance, hip-hop, jive, salsa and hip country jazz. Karen Whitley and Ryan Kelly went home as the winning pair, as decided by the audience, after energizing the building with a sexy salsa routine. And VIQ officials went home with more than $25,000 raised for their organization, through ticket sales, sponsorship and 50-50 sales. VIQ Executive Director Brenda Snider said the event seems to get bigger and better every year. Seven years ago, when the television show Dancing With the Stars was just becoming popular, VIQ decided to take the concept of the show and modify it

for its own fund raiser. “We took the concept and made it our own,” she said, as fans began to take their seats at the Yardmen. “Now it’s a one-of-a-kind event in this area.” Each year, a number of well-known community members are recruited for the show and are paired with a professional dance instructor. Each dancing pair then trains for weeks with the instructor to get a routine down. Whitley and Kelly were paired with France, from For the Love of Dance. The other couples were: Sharon Huckle and Nick Foley with instructor Lisa Sinclair of Loyalist College; Dani Guppy and Todd Crawford with instructor Liz Lougheed-Brown of Dance With Miss Liz; Melissa CowieMcKay and Joey Rufo, with instructor Krystle Parks; Jennifer Tretina and Brian Garrard, with instructor Sheri Thompson of the Ireland Academy of Dance & Performing Arts; Jennifer MacMillan and Darrell Hatfield, with instructor Tawny Jackson of Tawny’s School of Dance and Taryl Kramp and Ryan Turcotte, with instructor Ryan Wong. Snider said the success of the show is due largely to the commitment that the dancers and instructors make each year. “It takes a lot for people to do this, but they enjoy it, they make new friends,” she said. “And they get to step outside

their comfort zone.” The funds raised at the event, she added, are well needed. VIQ exists partly on United Way funding and partly on funds raised at

events such as this. Each year the organization recruits over 1,400 volunteers for about 250 agencies. “We’re the matchmaker,” she said. (left) Ryan Kelly is knocked to the floor by his dance partner Karen Whitley. Photo: Stephen Petrick

New names added to donor wall for TMH News - Trenton - There have been 154 more names added to the donor wall at Trenton Memorial Hospital (TMH). The names of the donors were read aloud on May 22 as part of a donor appreciation day which included information from Quinte Health Care (QHC) CEO Mary Clare Egberts about two new clinics at TMH. “It’s all about Exceptional Care Inspired by You,” Egberts said. “That is our vision statement.” She said the hospital could not achieve its high quality of care without the support of its donors. One of the new clinics being opened at TMH is the Geriatric Assessment and Intervention. People will be referred from acute care services to this clinic which deals with the frail elderly over the age of 75 who require extension of services. “It will manage all conditions and save readmission to hospital,” Egberts said. It will be open two days a week. The second clinic is to diagnose urinary tract and prostate concerns. Opening this fall it will be available three days a week. Egberts said the future of TMH is stronger and with more clinics, moving services out to homes. The hospital will still have emergency department, day surgery, breast assessment

and diagnostics. “Health care is changing,” she said. “The hospital here will meet regional and catchment area needs.” Foundation chair John Smylie said the need for equipment is relentless. The donor walls recognize donations at various levels of giving. The walls symbolize community spirit and are a source of pride. Board members June Brace and Jennifer Rainbird read the list of new donors now listed on the wall. A discussion was held with a patient “Colette” who talked about her journey through health care at the age of 77 and “the big C.” She was joined by Mary Woodman of Quinte Health Link, Donna Logan of the South East Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) and Dr. Iris Noland, QHC director of primary care. “Health care is changing,” Dr. Nolan said. “Acute care is integrating with community care.” She said Colette is an example of a patient who needed more than treatment for her acute and chronic health problems. She introduced her to Health Link, a whole care plan across the province to avoid unnecessary hospitalization and readmissions. “We know we’ve failed if a patient keeps getting readmitted,” said Mary Woodman of Quinte Health

Link. “Either they were let out too soon or the home resources were not set up.” She said Health Link listens to the patients to help them have a better journey through the system. “I was a nurse practitioner for 15 years,” she said. “We talk way too much. It was very enlightening to me to be retrained to shut up and listen. We don’t have all the answers.” She said all professionals should be better linked with the patient at the table. “Instead of saying tell us your problem, we ask them to tell us about you, what matters to you most.”

Colette was struggling with chemo and just wanted to be well enough to go home to Belgium one more time to see her family. The quality of life mattered to her more than the chemo. With those goals prioritized, they worked out a program for Colette and even helped find donated Air Miles to make her dream come true. Donna Logan from South East CCAC said they helped Colette with her plans too, providing home care and personal care. “Thank God it’s there for us,” Colette said with a smile. “Anything I need, it’s there.”

ROSSMORE 613-966-6656

News - Quinte West - Frank Meyers woke up last week to ﬁnd huge blocks of concrete placed in front of his former farm, preventing any further access from the road. “It’s rotten,” he said. “I’ve lived here all my life. Now they’re just waiting till I drop dead.” Frank is now 86 and has had support from protestors at the site on Meyers Creek Road since last fall and online. But a declaration by the Department of National Defence that they now own the 220 acres and his farm and paid him $3.3 million for it is falling on deaf ears. “I went to Ottawa and got a standing ovation in the Senate,” he said proudly. He adds, “We’ve gotta get rid of Harper. And the Ontario government. I’m a terrorist to the government. They paid me $3.3 million and I said, ‘No, I want my farm back!’” Frank said some of his former protestors are turning on him now just because he gave some money to a supporter for gas money. “Sue Crawford [who calls herself Freda on Facebook] who just lives down the road, came to me and asked if the protestors were getting paid,” he said. “What did I do wrong?” He wants to know who is paying them to ﬁght Frank Meyers. “Sue was in charge of all the money

that was donated,” he said. “There were six or eight people on her side. There is no reason to fight us. I’ve known her for 20 years. She turned on me.” He said former supporter Heather Boyce (Josephine on Facebook) has also turned against him. “She asked if I was giving Lisa more money,” he said. “I never answered. I gave some gas money, that’s all.” He said they just want to show him they have power. Frank is upset that the DND has put up big concrete blocks in front of his farm. He said they must have done it in the middle of the night by the back road because he just woke up and it was there. “They didn’t come this way or I would’ve hit them on the head with a tractor,” he said. He wants to know who is paying some people to fight the Meyers family. “Where are they getting the money?” he asks. Frank says a lot of people think it’s all just a big joke. But the land has been in his family since 1798, deeded by the Crown. He just wants what is his. “This is my home,” he said, “My wife Marjorie and I live here. There are barn swallows in the barn, and bobolinks and meadowlarks in the fields. People are fed up with the government. They destroy everything.”

Comets celebrate a successful season All three Cold Creek Comet teams celebrated at Brighton arena on the weekend with the unveiling of three banners. One commemorates this season’s Midget B Lower Lakes Female Hockey League championship along with two from last season: another Midget B league championship and the 2013 Midget B bronze at the Ontario Women’s Hockey Association championships. The Comets organization also announced a new president, Marc Lewis, and a new vice-president, Jeanette Hepburn. The female hockey group is looking to expanding to five teams next season, with peewee, two bantam, midget and intermediate entries taking the ice. Long-time supporter, Don Radnor, lauded the Comets saying, “It’s the best place in Ontario to play hockey.” Photo: Ray Yurkowski

SPORTS

Brighton Speedway race results Sports - Brighton – Steve Baldwin rode the high side of the racetrack all the way to victory lane at Brighton Speedway on Saturday night, presented by Campbellford Chrysler and UCB Canada. Baldwin stole the race lead from Caley Weese on lap eight in the Vanderlaan Building Supplies Pro Late Model main event. He never surrendered it throughout the ﬁnal 22 circuits. Charlie Sandercock was Baldwin’s top challenger as he anchored the second position on three restarts after the halfway mark. But with Baldwin restarting in his preferred outside line each time, Sandercock could not gain enough momentum on the bottom to make a pass for the lead.

In the closing laps, it looked as though lapped cars might play a part in deciding the finish, but Baldwin negotiated the traffic effortlessly and cruised to victory. Last week’s winner, Phil Potts maneuvered his way through the field from his ninth starting spot to score a third-place finish. Weese and Adam Turner completed the top-five. Brandon Mowat and David MacDonald won the Motosports of Trenton qualifying heats. Whaley stands atop Canadian Mod field Adam Whaley assumed the lead on lap 20 of the OilGARD Anti-Rust Canadian Modified feature and held off Doug O’Blenis

in the final five laps to earn his first win of the season. A caution filled race on a very dry slick track saw Andrew Hennessy steal the race lead from Dan Ferguson using the top lane on lap eight. Minor spins brought out three late race cautions and plagued Hennessy’s ability to pull away from Ferguson. On a lap 20 restart, Ferguson tried a crossover move entering turn one to duck beneath Hennessy for the lead. Ferguson was forced to come to a near stop in the centre of the corner to avoid contact with Hennessy, and the rest of the field was forced to react.

laps despite Wade Purchase’s best attempt to take over the lead. Devon Kippen drove to an impressive third-place run. Anderson and Jamie Marshall were the Vanderlaan Building Supplies heat winners. Hough dethrones Greer for Comp 4 win The script started to look familiar in the Bill’s Johns Comp 4 feature, but Terry Hough changed the ending. Hough jumped out to an early race lead after starting sixth and cruised to his first feature win of the year. It looked as though Hough would mix it up with Brady Greer and Rich Sanders for the third straight week. However, the latter two drivers got together and were forced to restart at the tail of the field on lap five. Riley Greer challenged Hough on the restart, but the No.32 was too strong. Sanders tried to work his way back through the field, but could only make it to third over the 15-lap distance. Nathan Day finished second for the first time this season. Riley Greer and Sanders were the heat race winners. MacGregor wins second Stinger feature Del MacGregor started fifth and quickly worked his way to the front of the Quinte Septic Stingers 12-lap main event. MacGregor was under pressure only momentarily on a lap nine restart, and drove to his second win in as many starts.

The race was red ﬂagged on lap two when Megan Golden made contact with another car on the front stretch and was turned sideways. Golden made hard, head-on contact with the outside wall before coming to a stop. The car momentarily rolled on to its side before coming to a rest on all fours. Golden did not suffer any injuries. MacGregor and Geoff York picked up heat race wins.

The lead was left to Whaley who had been running in the top-five prior to the wreck. Whaley successfully glued himself to the bottom of the track and neither O’Blenis nor third-place runner Ryan Scott could make a pass on the high side. Mike Lucas finished fourth, while Ferguson fought back to fifth. Scott and Ferguson earned Deerhaven Farm and Garden heat race wins. Anderson dominant in second straight Pro Stock win Doug Anderson passed Justin Ramsay for the lead on a lap 12 restart and led the final eight laps to earn his second victory in as many races. Ramsay took the lead on lap two from Jason McCrory. The lead grew to half a lap when McCrory did a full 360 in turn four and the rest of the field slowed to avoid. But without any contact, the race stayed green and Ramsay checked out at the front. But everything was erased on lap 12 when McCrory drew a caution after a broken tie rod forced him to a stop on the backstretch. Ramsay was pitted head-to-head with Anderson on the front row of the restart. The battle lasted less than a lap as Ramsay suffered a flat right rear; ending his hopes of second feature win. Anderson led the final eight

Flying Club celebrates with Hall of Famer

By Richard Turtle

Events - Stirling - There are a lot of people who love to fly, but perhaps none as much as Fern Villeneuve. The Oak Hills Flying Club celebrated its 50th anniversary last weekend joined by pilots, aircraft enthusiasts and the club’s most distinguished member, Villeneuve, who has been flying for more than 60 years and was named to the Canadian Aviation Hall of Fame in 2006. Villeneuve says his 30-year membership with the Oak Hills club came to an end about a year ago and only because he moved from the area to Guelph, Ontario. But he was more than happy to hop in his plane and make the flight from his new home airport last weekend to join in the celebration. Oak Hills Flying Club President Rob Burns says the midday Sunday event was extremely well attended and the club was privileged to have Villeneuve among those in attendance. “He started the Golden Hawks in 1959, to mark 50 years of flight in Canada,” Burns explains of the club’s special guest while pointing out pictures on the walls, adding Villeneuve spent a storied career and attained the rank of Lieutenant Colonel while with the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). A 32-year member of the RCAF, Villeneuve is now well into his 80s and remains both modest about his aerial accomplishments and passionate about planes, conceding much of what transpired was a matter of course as a

Fern Villeneuve has been flying for more than 60 years, spending 30 of those as a member of the Oak Hills Flying Club. Villeneuve, who founded the RCAF aerobatic team The Golden Hawks, was inducted into the Canadian Aviation Hall of Fame in 2006.

CFB Trenton pilot doubles as country music star

By Stephen Petrick

Entertainment - Belleville - John Landry has a pretty successful history as a country musician, but now that he’s a search and rescue pilot based at CFB Trenton his career is really taking off. Landry has just released his fourth studio album, and over the last 15 years he has garnered numerous music awards, including Juno nominations for Top Country Male Artist of the Year, Album of the Year and Video of the Year. The new album is called Don’t Look Back and it’s a somewhat ﬁtting title

for an artist whose life has taken many interesting twists and turns. Unlike previous albums, like his debut record Forever Took Too Long, this album was completed while he was juggling employment with the Canadian Forces as a member of 424 Search & Rescue Squadron, which ﬂies a Grifﬁn helicopter. At one point Landry worked exclusively as a country musician. He even lived for part of the last decade in Nashville, where he worked many showcase events that he would invite

record company executives to, hoping to land a big American contract. But, fully aware of the changes in the music industry—and the fact that only mega-famous artists seem to draw strong record sales—he decided to come home to Canada and train for another profession; one that would be more ideal for he and his then-girlfriend (and now wife) to raise a family on. “My best friend Rich Baker [who collaborates on songs with Landry] came to me one day and said you know the air force has opened up a pilot

program … I said, what the hell, let’s go to a recruitment centre.” Landry had long been interested in a career in the air force. Before launching a music career, he joined the infantry in Montreal as a teenager. That job took him on the path to become a critical care ﬂight medic, a job that allowed him to travel around the world. If the recruiters knew of that background when he walked into the recruitment centre in Kitchener that day, they might not have dismissed him so quickly.

“Two of them at the front desk recognized me and they were like, ‘What are you doing?’ When they took us seriously ﬁnally, we started the process. It’s a year-long process just to get accepted into the program.” Landry, now 44, was 37 at the time. He says it was a daunting experience to rejoin the military at that age and go through rigorous training, which included long jogs. Upon completing the extensive program, which included pit stops in Please see “Trenton pilot” page B2

Jimmy Rankin to play Empire Theatre June 4 Entertainment - Belleville - Another great musical act is coming to the Empire Theatre next week. Canadian legend Jimmy Rankin is set to perform on Wednesday, June 4. The singer-songwriter is currently touring across Canada to promote his new

album Back Road Paradise. The album features 12 new Rankin compositions, including lead-off single Cool Car and duets with Grammy winner and bluegrass icon Allison Krauss, as well as Blue Rodeoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jim Cuddy. Twenty-ďŹ ve years into a career

that has seen him embraced as one of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most beloved singersongwriters and hit makers, with Platinum albums and pretty much every award the nation hands out, Rankin has decided nowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the time: on his new Back Road Paradise, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hear him like never beforeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; full-on country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, going country WARRANTY! is a natural progression and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where I am right now,â&#x20AC;? he says. The result is whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been described as the catchiest batch of tunes Rankinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever written, with all the hallmarks

of what he does: smart lyrics, great vocals, perfectly crafted songwriter material, couched in a bigger, modern country sound. Above all, it is still Jimmy, that familiar voice, homespun and heartfelt, capable of taking you to the deepest emotions, or the best party. Rankin also strives for honesty, and making a direct connection to his listeners. He has the common touch. His songs resonate with everyone because he sings about life the way we all know it, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s falling in love, building a family, or just wanting to have a party with friends on a Friday. His magic is to put what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking and wondering and worrying about into a song, as catchy as can be. Rankin, who cut his teeth on stages in and around his Cape Breton Island home, has established himself as one of the most hard-working and respected Canadian artists in the recording

The air was buzzing over Stirling last weekend as the Oak Hills Flying Club celebrated its 50th Anniversary with a barbecue and fly-in.

of Fame less than a decade ago, he adds, was never a consideration until it actually happened. “It was a real honour,” he notes quietly of the recognition, adding, “I was just having a great time flying.” And today is little different. There were many other like minds nearby, all with significantly less experience but equal appreciation for the skies. Burns says perfect weather was in part responsible for the arrival of both local and out-of-town visitors who came by both air and land. The large crowds, busy airstrip and near constant flow of traffic to and from the Stirling Airport on Sunday made for a busy day for volunteers who kept the barbecues hot and welcomed the arrival of new guests. “It’s been great,” says Burns of the day’s events. “We have them flying in, driving in, arriving on motorcycles, we’ve even had some walk in.” Visitors, he says, included members of other flying clubs as well as automobile and motorcycle clubs, many of whom had their vintage vehicles on display. And in marking the flying club’s 50th year, there was also plenty of opportunity to share thoughts on wheels and wings as well as get a closer look at some vehicles that predate the club itself. “It was started in 1964,” Burns says of the club. And while the membership and nearby airport facilities have changed markedly over that time, the collective passion for flight has remained a constant.

Chips and axes fly at Chainsaw Challenge By Brett Mann

News - Marlbank - Over forty contestants tried their hands at the 14th annual Wyatt Davis Memorial Chainsaw Challenge recently in Marlbank. Some of the contestants had arrived as spectators but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resist the challenge of events such as axe throwing, water boiling

and an obstacle course. The event commemorates the memory of Wyatt â&#x20AC;&#x153;Budâ&#x20AC;? Davis, a Grade 8 student at Tweed-Hungerford Senior School who lost his life in a logging accident in early 2000. Bill Langridge, main organizer of the event, was pleased with the turnout of 41 contestants and more

than 100 spectators and talked a bit about the nature of the chainsaw challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the fourteenth annual for the Wyatt Da-

vis and then we did it for six years when it was just called the chainsaw challenge. My girlfriend Candy and a few other friends help

Part of the profits from the challenge are donated to the Canadian Cancer Society, says Mr. Langridge, â&#x20AC;&#x153;in Derek Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name. He was a competitor who passed away from cancer so we decided to do that for him. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty much a non-profit event, and we need the sponsors to keep us going, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for

sure.â&#x20AC;? All contests are open to men and women and beyond chainsawing include chair carving, crosscut saw, skidder ring toss, nail driving, â&#x20AC;&#x153;underhand chop,â&#x20AC;? (a wood chopping competition) and chainsaw throwing. The chainsaws have their bars and chains removed and are available in different weights for men and women. Chainsaw manufacturers also sponsor contests which require more precise cutting

and offer â&#x20AC;&#x153;good prizes, in the $60 to $70 rangeâ&#x20AC;? Mr. Langridge reported. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wyatt Davis Memorial Award which is given for overall participation and sportsmanship went to Wes Greenwood of Peterborough. Mr. Langridge is already thinking of innovations for next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s challenge and notes that he and friends will be putting on a smaller scale show at the Hollyrood Country Jamboree in July.

Exploring a ghost town in the Canadian Rockies

An air-powered locomotive and coal cars remain in Bankhead.

Lifestyles - While in Banff National Park, I visited Bankhead, which was once a thriving coal town but is now simply an abandoned ghost town, with just a few reminders of its past remaining. The Bankhead Mine was opened in 1903 and operated by the Paciﬁc Coal Company, a subsidiary of the Canadian Paciﬁc Railway. The mine was located within Rocky Mountains Park (now Banff National Park), and the CPR leased the land. Some highgrade anthracite coal deposits had been discovered, so the mine was opened to fuel the CPR’s steam engines. As time passed, more and more people worked here, and the town of Bankhead was born in 1905. The town eventually had a population of about 1,000, and there was a church, school, boarding house, restaurant, hotel, pool hall, and several residential homes and saloons. There was even a Chinatown for the Chinese labourers. All the buildings were owned by the company, and the residents paid rent. There were about 300 men working underground, getting the locomotive fuel; later, some of the coal from this

mine was mixed with pitch and moulded into briquettes and used as home heating fuel. The mine, located on the edge of Cascade Mountain, was in production from 1903 to 1922, but then it was closed. It’s not clear whether this closure was a result of the recent strikes or it just no longer was deemed an appropriate activity within the park, but in the summer of 1922, notices of the closure were posted and the coal operations ceased. A written report published at the time concluded that after July 15, 1922, “Bankhead will be a dead town so far as coal mining is concerned.” The tunnel entrance was blasted shut, the town abandoned, and the town’s buildings mostly removed; some of the houses were moved to Banff, the church went to Calgary, and the Bankhead Railway Station now sits on the grounds of the Banff Hostel on Tunnel Mountain Road. Indeed, Bankhead was a dead town and it virtually disappeared. I visited what remains of this old mining site near Banff, and I ﬁrst stopped at what’s now the Upper Bankhead parking lot, on the Minnewanka Loop Road. Here

I found a hiking trail that led through a thickly forested area and ascended, via an old ﬁre access road, past some of the remnants of this mining operation. However, I found that this was a rather long, tough climb, and I didn’t see much except trees for quite a while. Eventually I passed the skeletal remains of a couple of buildings and, as I continued to climb, I passed several fenced holes which were once air vents for the mine shafts below. I then simply turned around and descended back to the parking lot (making this a round trip of about four kilometres. After that, I discovered a far more interesting hiking trail at the Lower Bankhead parking lot. It was a shorter, less strenuous interpretive hiking trail with several informative plaques, and it took me on a very interesting exploration of what’s left of this once thriving mining site. I discovered that several building foundations were still very visible although now becoming overgrown with weeds and shrubs and trees had now taken ﬁrm root inside what was left of an abandoned coke oven. I saw

several pieces of piping, concrete slabs, and rusted artefacts. I also found several heaps of abandoned coal slag, with some wild rhubarb growing nearby where former residents had probably had a garden. I saw what was left of the original Lamp House where the miners would get their lamps before descending into the dark mine and the Breaker Building. I also found a building that had been left intact in this ghost town, and it contained displays that could be viewed through its windows. There was also a compressed air locomotive with several coal cars still on display along the footpath, and I read a plaque that explained that each of these cars would’ve carried about two tons of coal and that there were up to 30 cars to a train. In its heyday, this mine could have put out about 400 carloads per day. Since I was walking through what was left of an old mining operation, I found a warning sign posted, for abandoned mines can pose some dangers. I was told to “not approach any opening” and to “stay on the trail”.

It’s a rather eerie feeling to walk through the abandoned town site of Bankhead, but it’s historically interesting

and no collecting or artefact removal is permitted here. The trail is kept open and maintained by Park Services.

News - Tweed - Kevin Callan returned to Tweed recently to share some beautiful pictures and at times harrowing stories from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once Around Algonquin,â&#x20AC;? a tale of an â&#x20AC;&#x153;epicâ&#x20AC;? canoe trip through some of the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most difďŹ cult terrain. Callan was the latest guest speaker/author in the Friends of the Tweed Library speaker series and his talk drew an audience of nearly forty interested people, all or most of whom it turned out had visited Algonquin Park at least once. Kevin decided in 2013 to attempt â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Meanest Link,â&#x20AC;? a route of legendary difďŹ culty. The journey covers 350 kilometres, 55 lakes, six rivers and almost 100 portages totalling 68 kilometres. It was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;silly tripâ&#x20AC;? Callan remarked. He and fellow canoeist Andy Baxter completed the route in 20 days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I looked at this thing called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the meanest link.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It was developed in 2004 by Algonquin OutďŹ tter staff because they found their young staff werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going out that much anymore and they had to entice them. So they developed this route that connects all the OutďŹ tter stores and called it the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;meanest linkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insane,â&#x20AC;? observed Callan, recalling the 93 portages and rivers which had to be traversed heading up stream. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually done as a race and the record is seven and a half days. I allocated myself 20 days because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not for me. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to do it fast, I wanted to spend a long time out there.â&#x20AC;? Callanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friend Andy hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looked at the maps heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d forwarded to him and when he saw how difďŹ cult the route was, his ďŹ rst comment was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to kill you.â&#x20AC;? Starting from Huntsville the pair headed up the Big East River, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the most difďŹ cult part of the route.â&#x20AC;? The river becomes so shallow one must walk it, pulling the canoes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we did for four days.â&#x20AC;? The son of another paddler they met broke his foot on the rocky riverbed and had to be airlifted out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started off along the west end of Algon-

white pines and bugs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve experienced mosquitoes a lot but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never experienced them as bad as last year in Algonquin Park. I felt better when I spoke to a local guy who was born there and he said he had never seen then so bad.â&#x20AC;? Sitting in their bug shelter [â&#x20AC;&#x153;we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have done the trip without itâ&#x20AC;?] Kevin and Andy considered giving up a trip that was no longer much fun. They decided to continue after watching a snapping turtle climb a hill for 27 minutes only to fall back to

the bottom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our life is better than his, we should continue,â&#x20AC;? they concluded. Callan recounted seeing 29 moose on their expedition, running into a band of unfriendly survivalist types, and ending their journey in Huntsville in the middle of a bathtub race. His talk included a 20-minute video of their journey, Once Around Algonquin. He concluded, â&#x20AC;&#x153;nobody who has done the whole route has done it again, or wants to.â&#x20AC;?

Conroy received a call from the Kawartha centre (KTTC) to pick up two turtles from two different locations last year. Trish Vander Ploeg lives on Pigden Road. When she was out for a walk last June she passed a badly injured turtle on the road. “Three quarters of its shell was cracked. I scooted it into the grass.” She said it seemed rather hopelessly injured. When she returned home she felt she had to do something; with gloves and box, she made the trek back to get it. After a few calls she reached the “Turtle hot line.” “That evening Sam showed up, and, now, almost a year to the day we are releasing the same turtle with a baby. It’s just wonderful.” About the same time Conroy picked up a turtle from Larry Gagnon near Eldorado. Both turtles spent close to a year in rehabilitation at the KTTC. The one Vander Ploeg found was a female. Conroy says she was found to bear eggs. One of those eggs survived and hatched. Conroy explained painted turtles do not begin breeding until about eight years of age. The one Gagnon found was a feisty male wanting desperately to get back to his place of origin. Turtle crossing signs are available for municipalities to post in strategic areas. Quinte Conservation Authority provided three for Centre Hastings, but they were refuted by the Ministry of Transport who said signs must come from them and be approved for setting up.

Madoc Township clerk Bill Lebow said there are no turtle crossing signs in the municipality, but the strip of Highway 62 from Riggs Road north to about Hazzards Road is a prime turtle crossing area he noted. Eight species of turtles are native to this area. Two are endangered, three are threatened, the snapping turtle and northern map turtle are both species of “special concern.” The painted turtle is not yet listed. The Kawartha centre is the only one of its kind in Ontario, and funded by donations. It is affiliated with the Riverview Park and Zoo, Peterborough. Information can be found on the Internet at <www.kawarthaturtle.org>. If you find an injured turtle and can safely pick it up, place it carefully into a well-ventilated plastic container with a tight lid and call KTTC at 705-7415000.

Founder’s award highlights juried photo competition By Sue Dickens

News - Warkworth - Images captured with the lens of a camera hung on the walls of a downtown shop here as shutterbugs gathered to learn who had won prizes in the 2014 Juried Photography Competition hosted by the lilac festival committee. Photos of everything from a kingfisher to a beaver renovating his home were hung on the wall and offered for sale. The Founder’s Award was the first to be presented. Festival founder David Rollins selected a photo of a lilac bud by Norma Keith of Baltimore called “Bursting at the Seams” for the award. It was sponsored by the Warkworth

Community Service Club and presented by Chuck Mills. “Because it’s a lilac festival I couldn’t resist the lilac bud,” he said. Judging for the day was done by Bob Perks, an internationally known photographer and director/cinematographer. He started his career as an artist and graphic designer and became creative director of Art Associates, one of the most awarded and largest art studios in Toronto in the 1960s. After a move to New York he worked in a major agency on accounts such as Covergirl and Noxzema. In the 1970s he moved to Los Angeles and a chance to work in the film industry and consequently opened his own company directing major com-

mercials for corporations worldwide. These days having travelled with all his film gear over the years he finds it fun to travel with just a single camera over his shoulder. “I don’t like criticizing people’s work because I think it’s subjective so I pick things based on emotion and I spent my whole career working emotionally with great success,” Perks told the photographers before announcing the winners. First prize went to Roger Leekam of Toronto, for his photo called “Loon with Newly Hatched Chicks.” It was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Campbellford and presented by club president Jim Ashman. Second prize winner was Nancy

Cockburn of Peterborough for her photo “Spring Swingin’ Joy” and it was sponsored by Weaver Family Funeral Homes. Third prize went to Sandra G. Johnston of Campbellford for her photo “Blue Heron.” It was sponsored by the Campbellford Lions Club and presented by Andy Bastedo. The People’s Choice Award “was a squeaker,” said Maureen O’Grady who organized the photo contest. Jennifer Gibson of Warkworth won with 47 votes for her photo of a small frog on a daffodil called “Spring Peeper.” Mary Macfarlane of Keene was runner-up with 45 votes for her photo of a beaver working on his dam which

she called “Spring Renovations”. “Both of these photos caught the eye of visitors and both prints sold at the festival,” said O’Grady. The youth prize was won by Jasmine Beamish of Hastings for her photo “Weiner Dog in Lilacs,” sponsored by the Campbellford Lioness Club and presented by Andrea Conte. “I just think the student’s photo which has the lilacs and the dog in it … it’s just a cute thing and it’s light and airy and I just thought it was a wonderful picture,” said Perks. Runner-up was Madeline Ivy Cockburn Adams of Peterborough with her photo “Last Summer’s Garden,” sponsored by Snapshots One Hour Photo.

Quinte Children’s Water Festival celebrated By Kate Everson

News - Batawa - The Batawa Ski Hill was the site for the Quinte Children’s Water Festival on May 21 and 22 with over 950 students from Grades 3 to 5 from various schools participating. “This is the fifth year for the water festival,” said Marilyn Bucholtz, communications and outreach co-ordinator for Lower

Trent Conservation. There were students from schools in Stirling, Frankford, Trenton, Kingston, Belleville, Ameliasburgh, Cherry Valley, Picton, Deseronto, Grafton and Batawa as well as Tyendinaga Mohawk Reserve. Groups rotated through 32 stations to learn about water conservation, technology and science. They were assisted

by representatives from Ministry of Natural Resources, Quinte West Fire Department, OPP and students from Trenton High School’s Outer Limits program as well as Grade 6 to 8 from Batawa Sacred Heart Catholic School. “The level of professionalism from all the students assisting with this event is amazing,” Bucholtz commented.

Community involvement has also been important to the success of the program since 2009. Key sponsors of the event include Lower Trent Conservation, Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan, Batawa Ski Hill, Batawa Development Corporation, Ontario Power Generation, Children’s Water Education Council and RBC Blue Water Project. A cheque was presented from local sponsor RBC for $5,000. The RBC Blue Water Project has supported the festival for the past four years. On hand to present the cheque were Belleville branch manager Vicki Vannieuwenhuyze and Trenton branch manager Kim Tassé. Lower Trent Conservation general manager Glenda Rodgers accepted the cheque with thanks. The festival is organized by Lower Trent Conservation, Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan, Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board, Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board, Quinte Conservation and Batawa Ski Hill. Activities included finding out firsthand how much water is wasted in a shower, toilet or brushing your teeth. The good ol’ days were back with children trying to wash clothes with a wash tub and scrub board. Digging up a dinosaur was also part of the adventure at the Dino Dig, showing that the same

water millions of years ago is still used today. Species at risk display from the Kawartha Trauma Centre showed how to identify each type of turtle using true scale models. Sisters of the Drum taught the sacredness of water from aboriginal drumming of the Anishinabe. The Ministry of Natural Resources had children feel the furs of local animals and see a display of

creatures and tools seized by Conservation Officers. The Quinte West fire department Batawa had its pumper truck on site to teach children about the importance of water in fire safety. A water cycle relay race had children racing through tires to fill buckets of water. All 32 stations had more than enough to stir the children’s interest and have fun at the same time.

Courtney Lambert from St. Michael’s in Belleville is off to the races in a relay game learning about the water cycle. Photo: Kate Everson
