Brighton firefighter has the ‘FireFit bug’ BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – A local firefighter is lit up to have earned himself a spot to compete at the Canadian FireFit Championships in Ottawa this September. Jordan Fielding, a volunteer firefighter with the Brighton and District Fire Department, earned his shot after competing at the FireFit Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec regional, hosted at Centennial Park in Quinte West over the Canada Day long-weekend. “They call it the toughest two minutes in sports – it’s a fairly strenuous challenge,” said Fielding. The 21-year-old Codrington native was the sole firefighter to represent the Brighton department in Quinte West this year. Through the competition, firefighters perform a grueling back-to-back combination of tasks. Those challenges range from climbing six storeys of stairs, lugging about 40 pounds to boot and in addition to 40 pounds worth of gear (and that’s just the start), to rescuing a “dead weight,” 175-pound mannequin known as Randy to firefighters, which is then dragged backwards a distance of about 100 feet, to conclude the competition. In between that start and finish, competitors lift another 45 pounds through a hose hoist to the top of tower they climb, run – a lot, utilize a chopping simulator, and shoulder and drag a fully charged hoseline, to hit a designated target with a stream of water. FireFit simulates challenges firefighters face in emergency situations. Though similar in actual training for firefighters, such tasks aren’t usually all bulked together, back-to-back – that’s what makes FireFit hard, said Fielding. And you could say, Fielding has

caught the ‘FireFit bug,’ as the regional competition in Quinte West marked the sixth challenge he’s competed in, since Canada Day 2016. His interest in the FireFit challenges started out thanks to a friend, who Fielding jokes, he just wanted to compete against for fun. The Codrington native has now competed in Belleville, Napanee, Oshawa, Port Elgin and Wasaga Beach, in addition to Quinte West. He earned his spot in the FireFit finals as an individual competitor, with a time of 1:59:43 at the regional contest.
“I was looking to beat my personal best of 1:58,” but it is a “brutal” challenge, said Fielding. “I actually prefer the relay and enjoy the team aspect of competing most.” Fielding didn’t have time to rally a relay team in advance of the competition this year, so he decided to compete as an individual. He’s eager to put together a team of Brighton firefighters for the challenge next year. Fielding joined the Brighton and District Fire Department as a volunteer firefighter with Station 2 in Codrington, back in March 2017.
“It’s been a few years since we’ve had a Brighton firefighter compete,” said Rick Caddick, deputy fire chief for Brighton. “We’re pretty excited for Jordan – it’s a tough challenge and you got to do the training.” With the call volume firefighters handle in the Brighton area, which is pretty significant, this really does speak to the dedication of the department’s volunteers, added Caddick. Before joining the Brighton department, Fielding was in school full-time at Fleming College, in the Pre-Service Firefighter program and also volunteered throughout his schooling with the North Kawartha Emergency Services Department. He was one-of-four recruited from his class to the North Kawartha department. “That opportunity is only offered to a few students while in school and it says a lot,” said Caddick. Fielding graduated with Honours in December 2016. Growing up, he said he was always more of a “doer.” And fighting fires was something he just always wanted to do. His uncle Jack Loughlin also had some influence on him, as he was a firefighter in Toronto. “I wanted to help out the community and there’s no better way to do that than through fire services,” said Fielding. When Fielding’s not volunteering with the department or at a FireFit competition, he works for Fielding Homes and Renovations. His parents, Charlene and Dave say Fielding’s always enjoyed being active and becoming a firefighter was a perfect fit. “Firemen are a special breed,” said Dave. “They’re dedicated and have big hearts.”

Presqu’ile lighthouse makes the cut for $20K national contest BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton — The Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society has got a shot at $20,000 for its restoration project, but needs residents’ help. The Tangerine bank recently announced the society was one of 20 top finalists in its #Tangerine20 contest, which means the society could win one of five cash prizes, including a grand-prize of $20,000. “We’re hoping people can get their voting fingers firing every 24 hours to help us out,” said volunteer director Dave Sharp. Tangerine announced on July 6 that the society had made the top 20, after receiving nearly 400 submissions for the bank’s national contest. The contest celebrates Tangerine’s 20th anniversary in Canada and asked communities from coast-tocoast to nominate a local initiative in need of financial top-up, with the hopes of giving back to communities and helping organizations reach goals a little faster. With the top 20 selected, Tangerine is now asking Canadians to vote for their favourite initiatives, to determine the contest winners. The Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society is one of four of the Ontario finalists’ chosen in the contest and will now compete for a chance at one of the five cash prizes with community organizations and charities throughout the country. “We need all the help we can get,” said Sharp, who also nominated the society for the contest recently. “ … We’re trying to raise as much money as we can for our fall project, so if everything goes well, in 2018-19, we
can do the final phase of our restoration.” The contest will name five winners. Voting opened on July 6 and will remain open until July 26. Brightonians looking to help save their iconic and historical lighthouse can visit tangerine.ca/tangerine20 to cast their vote and learn more about the contest. Participants of the contest can submit one vote per day, until the July 26 deadline. The five winners will be announced on Aug. 9, live on Tangerine’s Facebook page. In addition to the grandprize totalling $20,000, there will be one $10,000 prize, two $5,000 prizes and one $2,000 prize. “At the end of the day, I’ve always said we’re going to need four parties to make this happen,” said Sharp. By four parties, Sharp means the society, the municipality, and both the federal and provincial governments. Sharp said the contest does more than just offer the society a chance at some cash, as it’s also helping the organization to raise some awareness surrounding what the society is trying to do — which is save one of Ontario’s oldest operating lighthouses, from deterioration beyond repair or from being torn down. What’s more, this shows the various levels of government the society isn’t just sitting around waiting for cash, said Sharp. The nonprofit organization also just recently turned to crowdfunding, with the hopes this may help raise some of the funds needed for the restoration project. (The society is in competition with six other big projects in the central region for this contest.)
“We want to thank our supporters of the ‘This Place Matters’ contest,” said Sharp. Voting for that contest started June 15 and ends at noon, on July 17. Sponsored by the National Trust for Canada, the This Place Matters contest similarly allows people to vote once a day. Each vote does truly help, stressed Sharp. Funds currently being raised will go toward an estimated $200,000 pilot project, which is slated to start in September. This work is expected to take about four-to-six months and needs to be done before the full restoration gets underway, which is estimated at more than $1 million. Sharp is asking residents to reach out to friends and not just Brightonians, asking folks share information about the contests, whether on Facebook or wherever possible. Visit the society’s website at www. pplps.ca, to learn more about the restoration project or to get started as a participant in the This Place Matters contest. -With files from John Campbell
Percy Boom snowmobile club gives back SUBMITTED BY THE PERC Y BOOM RIVER RATS SNOWMOBILE CLUB
Codrington – The Percy Boom River Rats Snowmobile Club continues to give back. Following the club’s annual landowner appreciation dinner held at the Codrington Community Centre recently, the club again donated $300, thanks to proceeds from a 50/50 draw, to the Bridge Hospice in Warkworth. Mayor Mark Walas, Couns. Mary Tadman and Roger McMurray attended the dinner.
“The club extends many thanks to Brighton council for granting further support to the club last season,” said Ross Wheatley, executive member for the snowmobile club. “A viable trail network is paramount to a successful snowmobiling industry.” The Percy Boom club, at the local level, grooms about 200 kilometres worth of trails, as far away as Sharbot Lake, and contributes in part, to $1.7 billion worth of economic activity annually in the province. The club also recently helped with bridge repairs in Campbellford.

Art on Main decorates Brighton’s downtown with local talent BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton — With performances in the streets and on rooftops, Brighton’s Main Street came alive last weekend. The fourth annual Art on Main event returned last Saturday, July 8, featuring some 50 artists set up throughout Memorial Park and the downtown core. Dancers, musicians, culinary artists and painters — this year’s event had it all. In addition to showcasing some of their best signature pieces throughout the day, many local artists also demonstrated their craft for people to see upclose and in real-time. “I love this,” said abstract and watercolour artist Nikki Crane Saturday, about the Art on Main event and as she painted outside the 78 on Main restaurant for all to see. A newcomer to town and a first-time participant of the Art on Main event, Crane got a good look at how deeply the community appreciates its artistry and local talent, as countless residents flocked to Brighton’s Main Street for the event. Crane, who produces abstract paintings and also through her Vino and van Gogh’s business, hosts wine and paint parties, followed her parents to Street performer Greg Tarlin draws in a crowd at this year’s Art on Main event.

street-chalk artist.The entertainment lineup this year included singers, musicians, dancers, street performers and a special “Entsitewayen’tho traditional music, dance and dress” event, by First Nations performers from the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory. Among the entertainers was also 12-year-old violinist, Avery Tracy. The Grade 6 Smithfield Public School student is the youngest artist to date, to be involved with the Art on Main exhibit. She began playing the violin when she was just four years old and is a scholarship student at the Phil and Eli Taylor Performance Academy for Young Artists in Toronto. “She performed out front [Special Effects Decorating] and was absolutely amazing,” said Sheryl Delorme, founder of the event and chair for the Art on Main committee. Delorme is also the owner of Special Effects Decorating and an interior decorator. She started the Art on Main event for artists like Avery. The committee starts planning for the event almost a year in advance. And while admittedly a lot of work, there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing Brighton’s Main Street essentially transform for the Art on Main event, said Delorme. “We have so many talented people here in our community, they deserve the opportunity to shine,” she added. “I enjoy seeing the people and community have a good time with this event. Hopefully, this will inspire other little artists in years to come.”

Northumberland OPP officers on the run in support of Special Olympics
Feds, province kick in $200,000 for Brighton project BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – The federal and provincial governments have committed more than $200,000 in funding to help the municipality upgrade its clean water and sanitary sewer systems, politicians announced Tuesday, July 4, at Brighton’s municipal office on Alice Street. “Projects like this will make immediate improvements in clean water and wastewater and also foster economic growth,” said Northumberland-Peterborough South MP Kim Rudd. “These projects are essential to having clean water and healthy and vibrant communities.” Rudd spearheaded the funding announcement outside the Alice Street municipal office Tuesday morning, on behalf of the Honourable Amarjeet Sohi, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, alongside Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi, Mayor Mark Walas, Deputy Mayor Laura Vink and Brighton staff. The Tuesday announcement confirmed the municipality’s Orchard Crescent reconstruction
project has been approved under the government’s Clean Water and Wastewater Fund (CWWF). Through the CWWF, the federal government will contribute close to $140,000 for the reconstruction project. The province has committed nearly $70,000 for the project. The Municipality of Brighton will pay the remainder of the costs for the project. The total value of the overhaul for Orchard Crescent is reportedly about $580,000. “Our government has made water infrastructure project funding a top priority,” said Rinaldi. “Ontario’s happy to work with the federal government…with all three levels of government working together, we get a lot more done.” The MPP added, infrastructure work may not be very glamorous, but it is important. The CWWF is a federal program designed to accelerate short-term community investments, focusing on support for the rehabilitation and modernization of drinking water, wastewater and stormwater
infrastructure and the planning and design of future facilities and upgrades to existing systems. Through the program, the federal government has committed close to $570 million in infrastructure funding for Ontario. “From the important local projects we’re celebrating today, to large-scale developments that contribute to a smart economy and smart growth on a national scale, we will continue to build the infrastructure of the 21st century that all of our communities need and ensure that it’s here for generations to come,” said Rudd. “We’ve got many projects underway in Ontario now.” The province is distributing up to $270 million for projects, costmatching recipients contributions up to a maximum of 25 per cent of total eligible costs. “Access to clean water and to reliable wastewater systems are the backbone of any thriving community,” said Rinaldi. Funding for the Orchard Crescent reconstruction project will help

Colborne — It wasn't the turnout organizers had hoped for, but Northumberland OPP held its first Torch Run in support of the Special Olympics Ontario Provincial Summer Games. Two officers from the detachment and a member of its auxiliary made the three-kilometre run from the Big Apple to the Keeler Centre on Saturday morning (July 8). Funds were raised through Adopt a Cop sponsorships and the sale of dri-fit shirts for $20. The Summer Games begin this Thursday, hosted by Peel regional police in support of Special Olympics Ontario, an organization that helps people with intellectual disabilities develop confidence in themselves through sports. Nearly 800 athletes will compete in soccer, softball, golf and bocce during the four-day event. Const. Mark McDermott said between 10 and 20 officers had initially indicated interest in making the run. “We didn't have a ton of time (to organize). Next year will be different, we'll be a little bit better organized,” he said, knowing “the ins and outs, and the things that need to be taken care of earlier.” Carrying the banner was as important as generating funds in support of the athletes. Letting people know about the Games, “that will be good enough for us, it's all about raising awareness,” McDermott said. “That's the big thing.” There are still shirts available for purchase through the detachment and donations can be made by visiting www1.specialolympicsontario.com/ways-to-give. Acting Insp. Jeff Martin had taken part in as many as eight Torch Runs in Napanee and East Algoma prior to transferring to Northumberland several years ago. “It's a great cause,” and the OPP has supported the Special Olympics for many years, he said. He “used to be” a runner but switched over to cycling a few years ago. “I should be OK today, it's downhill,” he joked.

OPINION
North Korea’s intercontinental ballistic missles “American bastards would be not very happy with this gift sent on the July 4 anniversary,” said North Korean leader Kim Jongun about his country’s first successful test of an interconballistic Gwynne Dyer tinental missile (ICBM) on Wednesday. And indeed Americans are not happy about it, although it would be overstating the case to say that panic is sweeping the United States at the news that North Korea’s ICBMs can now reach America. One reason for the lack of public panic is that Alaska is not a central concern for most Americans, and Alaska is the only part of the United States that North Korea’s Hwasong-14 missile can actually reach. Another reason is that the US authorities insist that North Korea’s nuclear weapons are too big and heavy to fit on its ICBMs. (It’s not clear whether they have actual intelligence that confirms this, or are just whistling in the dark.) And a third reason might be that Americans are secretly embarrassed by the sheer hypocrisy of their own government’s position in this affair. Well, no, not really. The vast majority of Americans are blissfully unaware that there is any hypocrisy involved in demanding that North Korea refrain from getting what the United States has had for the past 72 years. So is the US government. US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was being entirely sincere when he said that North Korea’s ICBM test “represents a new escalation of the threat to the United States, our allies and partners, the region, and the world.” Wrong, but entirely sincere. He is obviously aware that the United States has had nuclear weapons since 1945, and has even dropped them on Asian cities. He knows that his country has had ICBMs since the 1950s, and still has hundreds ready to launch on short notice. How is the American posture different from the one that North Korea aspires to? Two differences, really. One is that the United States has at least a hundred times as many nuclear weapons as North Korea, and delivery vehicles at least two technological generations further down the road.
Another is that the United States has a clearly stated policy that says it might use nuclear weapons first in a conflict. Weirdly, this just makes American ICBMs sound more dangerous than North Korea’s. That’s not really true. The United States used its first nuclear weapons as soon as it got them in 1945, but despite all the wars it has waged in the 72 years since then it has never used them again. Nuclear weapons are so terrifying that they actually force the people who possess them to think seriously about the consequences of using them. North Korea will probably have ICBMs that can reach big American cities in three to five years if it keeps up the current pace of development and testing. That would buy North Korea a limited degree of safety from an American nuclear attack, because one or more of its missiles might survive a US first strike and be able to carry out a “revenge from the grave.” That is how nuclear deterrence works, at least in theory. But even full-range nuclear-tipped ICBMs would not give the North Korean regime the ability to launch a nuclear attack on America (or Japan, or South Korea) without being exterminated in an immediate, massive nuclear counter-strike. So you can probably trust the North Korean regime not to do anything so terminally stupid – unless people like Kim Jung-un are literally crazy. That’s why American diplomats work so hard to convince everybody else that the North Koreans really are frothing mad, impervious to logic, and not even interested in self-preservation. Only then can they argue that the North Koreans should be denied nuclear weapons, although Americans, Russians, Chinese, British, French, Israelis, Indians and Pakistanis can be trusted with them. There is no evidence that the North Koreans really are crazy. In the 64 years since the end of the Korean War they have never risked a war, and they are extremely unlikely to do so now. And while there is a rather erratic leader in Washington at the moment, there are probably enough grown-ups around him to avoid any fatal mistakes on the American side either. So North Korea will probably get its nuclear deterrent in the end, and we will all learn to live with it – like we learned to live with mutual US-Russian nuclear deterrence, mutual US-Chinese nuclear deterrence, and mutual Indian-Pakistani nuclear deterrence.

When our young go off into the world Comment by Chris Malette There could have been no more devastating year for the parents, family and friends of three lost Belleville teens than 1996. In that year, the city reeled from the news that three teens in the span of several months were murdered – one in Daytona Beach, Florida; one in Bermuda and a third in Toronto. So it is, then, that those families must be suffering the memories that sure came rushing back when the headlines hit this past week that mostly all began “Belleville teen dies in…” The loss of St. Theresa student Alex Sagriff, a sparkler of a young woman as described in social media memories, photographs of her playing basketball at St. T’s and reminiscences of family, is no less devastating to those friends and families than the fate of the `96 teens. In March, 1996, Mark Fyke, then a 19-year-old Nicholson Catholic College student, was vacationing in Daytona Beach with several friends from Belleville. He went to a pay phone near his hotel to call his mom, Chris, when Donald Shoup, then 18, walked up to Fyke and demanded Fyke’s wallet shortly before shooting him dead. Mark’s mom, mercifully, did not hear the shot that killed her son. His legacy is the Random Acts of Kindness Week we all celebrate annually in Belleville on the anniversary of his death. Rebecca Middleton would have been 38 this year. But, in July, 1996, the bubbly, trusting young woman was raped, stabbed repeatedly and left to die on the purported island paradise that is Bermuda. The case of her death was horrific not only for the details at which she met her fate, but for the prolonged, agonizing trial by tears her parents had to endure in the years after her murder. “She’s still part of the family; it’s just that she’s not with us,” Dave Middleton says of his late daughter in a 2016 interview with The Toronto Star. “It wasn’t her fault that she got killed.” Becky’s mom, Cindy Bennett says she still misses her daughter. She wonders what her girl might have been like now had she, like her two older brothers, been able to grow up, get married and have kids of her own. The teen had been out for an evening of fun in Bermuda and was preparing to return back to town by hailing a cab. When a taxi failed to show, Middleton and her best friend Jasmine Meens, now Jasmine Bumstead, accepted rides on a motorcycle
and moped with two locals. Meens, whose father Rick lived in Bermuda, but who hailed from Belleville, made it home. Middleton, on an extended vacation with Jasmine, did not. The two men charged in the killing were Kirk Mundy, then 21, and Justis Smith, then 19. At the time, Mundy was on bail for the armed robbery of a bank vehicle in November 1995. Mundy pointed the finger at Smith. In exchange for his testimony, Mundy pleaded guilty to being an accessory, while Smith faced a charge of murder. DNA evidence would later show Mundy had raped young Becky. The lead prosecutor on the case left the island a week before Smith’s trial, leaving it to a newcomer to take up the case. After days of evidence, the judge directed the jury to acquit Smith, saying there was not enough evidence against him. Bermuda authorities would later concede the family had suffered a “great injustice,” but nothing changed. A third Belleville teen sadly died with far less attention that year, as his death was overshadowed by the high-profile murders of the other young people. However, it was no less tragic. The young teen boy was in Toronto living a trans or gay lifestyle few talked about in 1996 and the circumstances of his murder on Toronto streets was not widely reported. No less a tragedy, though far less attention paid at the time. Alex Sagriff was with friends on a vacation last week to Varadero, Cuba, with a guided student tour group, S-Tours. It was not a sanctioned trip by either her school or the school board and family this week – the sprawling, gregarious, athletic and loving Sagriff family – were grieving, looking for answers and bringing their young Alex home from foreign shores. There is no good death of a young person under any circumstances. Too, there are few more difficult things for a parent than to watch as our young people go out and make their way, their fun, in the world, hoping and praying as we do to return safely to us.w In some cases, tragically, they do not and it is then that a community rallies around giving silent, but heartfelt support, knowing it could have been any of us with children of our own. To the Sagriff family, peace.

Residents impacted by flooding should reach out, say staff BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton — Municipal staff is continuing to encourage residents affected by flooding to reach out to both the town and the Canadian Red Cross. “We’re encouraging people to continue to register — the water, it’s down, then it’s up again, it’s a bit premature to hop on the cleanup bandwagon, but we are continuing to have conversations with the province,” said CAO Bill Watson. Staff is continuing to compile a confidential list of properties and residents affected, with the hopes this will help the municipality track the impacts of flooding. Residents are being asked to reach out to the municipality, if they haven’t already done so, with details surrounding their properties and the impacts of flooding, for the town’s
list. The list will help the municipality as staff makes their case during discussions with the province and as the town pursues potential funding avenues, said Watson. Staff needs residents to register and make contact with the Brighton Fire Department, to ensure staff has a full understanding of the impacts of flooding for the municipality as a whole. Through the list, staff will have a better idea of the impacts and issues flooding has caused or is causing and as a result, this can also help to ensure the appropriate help and resources are directed to residents. Residents affected by recent flooding are asked to contact the fire department either by phone at 613-4751744 or through email at bfd@brighton.ca. Residents
are asked to provide address details and a property description. “It’s kind of calming down now, we’re hoping soon we’ll get back to normal,” said Rick Caddick, deputy fire chief. The deputy fire chief continues to encourage residents to register with the Red Cross as well. Residents can visit www.redcross.ca for more information or to register or call 1-800-8636582. Additional information regarding flooding, health department issues, electrical safety and other resources are available online via the municipality’s website at www.brighton.ca. Municipal staff continues to “thank the many volunteers, who have worked very hard to assist Brighton residents to stay safe in their homes.”

Animal rescue centre founder Blanding’s turtles need help to live to 80 seeks Brighton sanctuary BY JOHN CAMPBELL
BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Brighton – Shelley Craig knows what the Blanding’s turtle must have felt like when she nearly ran over it recently on Barcovan Beach Road: threatened. For the turtle she rescued and nicknamed Pokey, threats come in many forms – motorists, seagulls, raccoons, foxes, and loss or degradation of habitat. For Craig, the founder of Victory for Animals Society, the threat is not having enough money to keep going. That would mean having to close the Loyalist Drive adoption and rescue centre she opened in 2015 to provide temporary care for animals in need of compassion and a home. “There comes a time when you can’t keep the doors open and that’s it,” she said. She came close to making that decision a month ago. “It was touch and go,” she said, and the uncertain future she was facing plunged her into a state of “depression every day.” So far this year the society has paid out $15,000 in vet bills, and thousands more in utility and rental costs It receives donations of food but there’s never
enough to feed all the animals Craig takes in. Although Brighton has been “very supportive,” she said, “we have no funding,” so she constantly draws upon her own financial resources. “I know it sounds bad but we need money.” . Never refusing to take care of an animal “probably put us into the position that we are now but I can’t sleep at night if I said no to an animal,” she said. Then Pokey came along, giving Craig new impetus and another reason to continue her work, this time in aid of a species that’s on the Species at Risk in Ontario List as threatened. Around the same time an angel entered her life, in the person of Donna Graves, who read about Craig’s plight on Facebook and volunteered to organize a Be Their Voice fundraiser at the Docville Wild West Movie Set in Newcastle Sept. 16. There will be live music, a 50/50 draw, games, silent auction and food. Sometimes you reach “a sad point” and begin to wonder why you do what you do, and then someone like Graves comes along and “you realize people do really care,” Craig said. The helping hand she’s
been offered has also reinvigorated her efforts to establish a CAPE (Compassion for Animals, People and the Earth) Centre. “It’s something that’s really needed in Brighton,” Craig said.”People don’t understand how much until they come over and I show them the pages and pages and pages of animals that we’ve rescued.” Not just pets but farm animals and wildlife, many of them endangered species, she said. Government funding, business sponsorships, and donations by supporters will be key to the centre getting off the ground. She estimates the cost at $700,000 but that figure would be reduced with a donation of land, “10 acres at least,” she said. With the not-for-profit organization now a registered charity, businesses and people can claim a tax credit making donations to Victory for Animals. The sanctuary Craig has in mind will welcome children with disabilities to help out, as they do now at her current location. It will also be a place “where children can learn about our environment and (how to) treat it properly,” she said.

Brighton – The Blanding’s turtle is not considered endangered in Ontario “but is likely to become endangered if steps are not taken to address factors threatening it,” says the provincial government. Those factors include predators, loss or fragmentation of habitat, and motor vehicles. All three factors were in play when Victory for Animals Society founder Shelley Craig almost ran over one as it crossed Barcovan Beach Road. It was heading from Weller’s Bay, where the Munici-
pality of Quinte West had done some dredging earlier in the year to keep a channel open. And perched atop the huge pile of dirt were dozens of seagulls, some of which had already attacked the turtle, as evidenced by small marks it bore from being pecked. “They were all over him on the road ... pecking him,” said Lilly, who lives across the road from Weller’s Bay and has found a turtle three times so far this year on her property. “They’re crawling across the road and people don’t even know they’re here,” she said. “They’re
coming up and getting hit by cars.”Lilly, who asked that her last name not be used, and Craig would like the municipality to post signs warning there’s a turtle crossing along that stretch of the road. Blanding’s turtles need all the help they can get. Less than one per cent of hatchlings survive, they don’t reach sexual maturity until they’re 20 years old, and being slowmoving on land, they’re highly vulnerable to being run over on roadways, Craig said. So the odds of achieving their full lifespan of 80 years is exceedingly low.

Brighton’s Own:
Linda Wallis; Enriched by the land and travels across it BY VIC SCHUKOV
Biologists have proven that a common microbe called Mycobacterium vaccae, found in soil, refreshes your brain’s neurotransmitters, reduces anxiety and sparks clearer thinking; it’s equally goodguy cousin, Acinetobacter lwoffii, boosts the human immune system. (End of biology lesson for today.) And if the term “flower child” is too well-worn, then Linda Wallis may be Brighton’s very own “flower lady.” She has won five home gardening awards in town for her spectacular victory garden. Born and raised on a farm in Antler, Saskatchewan, along the Manitoba border, Wallis attended business school in Regina, and in 1981 started a career with CIBC. Banking being much like the military in terms of being regularly transferred, she left her home province to work, marry and settle in Toronto – for eight years, anyway. Her husband being a city boy wanted to move to the country, so the couple bought a hobby farm in Centreton: “When I lived on a farm in Saskatchewan, we had every kind of farm animal except goats. So on our 25 acres in Centreton, we started with five female goats (and some cats and dogs) and a rented billy. (Laughing.) After five years we had 60 goats.” (I told her, ‘That’s one tired and happy billy.’) In order to better centre herself between offices in Cobourg and Belleville, they moved to Codrington in 1994, onto an acre and a half where her green thumb really blossomed (pun intended): “Having lived in condos and apartments in Toronto, I really missed plants. I took some correspondence courses in horticulture, and a college course in Belleville, along with being self-taught and landscaped our Codrington lot into giant flower beds.” She came here 11years ago and has been cultivating her victory garden ever since. As a member of the Brighton Garden Club, she took part in the design and planting of the flower beds in Rose Ellery Park. Wallis is a living testament to the healthy powers of those “good” microbes: “Gardening takes your mind away from everything, and focuses it on the task at hand. I get joy from the dirt in my fingers. It is a great stress relief to feel the earth, and it creates instant wellbeing.” Wallis shares that sense of joy with her fellow neighbours, as a member of Codrington’s Women’s Institute, a worldwide advocacy organization that supports rural ladies, initiating national change: “Without the Institute, we wouldn’t have pasteurized milk, or yellow lines on highways. Our Codrington group has been working on rein-

troducing cooking classes in our public schools and high schools. Kids need to learn how to go back to the basics of good food and better nutrition.” Wallis is also a unique world traveller: “It started with my Dad telling us exciting stories about the Dirty Thirties (Dust Bowl) in Saskatchewan, with no farming, how at 15 years old he rode the box cars from town to town, hungry and looking for work for 25 cents a day. Afterwards, his adventure stories about being stationed in England in the army during World War II, got our juices going. My first major trip was to Montreal’s Expo 67 on a school trip, at
16. Since then, I love going to exotic places off the beaten track.” Wallis has been to Vietnam, India, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Cambodia. This winter, she plans to visit Thailand, Malaysia and Nepal. Her advice to others: “Take each moment, take each hour, each day at a time. And live it to the fullest that you can. If opportunities come, grab them. Have no regrets. And I have none.” (Brighton resident Vic Schukov is a long-time journalist and writer of biography books for everyday people.

Belleville judge rips OPP for ‘strip search,’ stays impaired charge against Quiknte West woman BY JACQUES GALLANT Toronto Star
the Office of the Independent Police Review Director announced last July that it was launching a province-wide, systemic review into police strip search practices. The review is ongoing. “I’ve had enough,” Gerry McNeilly, the independent police director, told the Star last year. “There is no regard being given to the rules.” Judson’s Belleville lawyer, Pieter Kort, said police cannot argue that the law isn’t clear around strip searches given the judicial condemnation of police conduct in the past, and again in Deluzio’s ruling. “The police can no longer take the position that they were unaware of what the law was,” he told the Star. “There’s no uncertainty now. It cannot be said that there’s any question with what the law is with respect to strip searches.” A spokesperson for the Ontario Provincial Police said the force accepts Deluzio’s ruling and is reviewing it, but that the officers would not be commenting. Aside from the general training all police officers receive at the Ontario Police College, the OPP’s procedures on searches of arrested individuals are also covered “regularly” in training sessions at the Ontario Provincial Police Academy, said OPP Staff Sgt. Carolle Dionne.

Belleville - As Ontario’s police watchdog continues its systemic review of police strip search practices across the province, a Belleville judge has come down strongly on an OPP detachment for failing to follow the law around the controversial practice.Ontario court Justice Elaine Deluzio stayed impaired driving charges last month against Jillian Judson, who was told by officers to remove her underwire bra, when there were no reasonable grounds to do so, after she was taken to the police station in May 2016. Deluzio said she was not only concerned with what happened to Judson, but also with the fact that the officers involved testified that they would continue to ask female detainees to remove their bras. “The indifference expressed by both Officers (Amanda) MacFadden and (Janet) Allaire to their obligation as police officers to abide by the legal constraints surrounding strip searches is very concerning,” Deluzio wrote. “And the apparent willingness of both officers, and possibly other police officers at Quinte West OPP detachment, to continue with a practice of removing at least every underwire bra worn by female detainees, knowing that this practice, when implemented automatically and without exception towards every female detainee, is illegal, is an egregious abuse of police power.” Strip searching is “inherently humiliating and degrading,” the Supreme Court of Canada ruled in a landmark case 15 years ago, and should only be done when there are reasonable grounds to do so, such as looking for weapon Hwy. #2 West ons or evidence reinvites children 4-12 yrs to lated to the arrest.

Rotary Notes for June, 2017
Because of our fundraising events, we contributed back over $37,500 to those in need. This past month, we have a guest speaker from India and we took the time to view a Ted Talk about happiness and at the end of the day, we think every Rotarian should be happy because we are just a giving group of dedicated working for the betterment of our community. Actually, the video was by Robert Waldinger, Director of the Harvard Study ofAdult Development. He asks “What keeps us happy and healthy as we go through life? If you think it’s fame and money, you’re not alone – but, you’re mistaken”. As the director of a 75-year-old study on adult development, Waldinger has unprecedented access to data on true happiness and satisfaction. Lessons learned: good relationships keep us healthy and happy. Loneliness is toxic and kills. It is the quality of our relationships that matter, especially our close relationships. Those most satisfied
at 50 were healthier at 80. When not happy, the physical pain is magnified. Close relationships protect the brain too. For the third time in the past 13 years, we had Rotarian Isaac Arulappan from India visit us. Isaac, a Rotarian since 2006, provided us with an update on “Cornerstone Orphanage” which he started in 1993. Our Brighton Rotary was the first Canadian Rotary club to support the orphanage and the link with Rotary has grown over the years with several clubs as well as other organizations providing support. They have 81 live-in students ages 5 to 15 and they also have a further 20 students ages 16+ who show aptitude and are preparing for college. The teachers at this location provide opportunities for education, clean water, freedom of religion. They provide a loving and stable environment for the
children. They also train young mothers. Children are provided medical care including vaccinations, hygiene and life skills. They have a program to support local subsistence farmers learn better water management. Isaac, himself was an orphan and that is what motivated him to start this orphanage. Did you know that there are 31 million orphans in India and 12.7 million child workers. Sadly, their government is not doing much except to monitor the various sites. Fortunately. Cornerstone Orphanage is highly ranked. Finally, should you like to know more about Rotary, drop by during our regular Friday morning meetings at the community centre. For more information, feel free to give Rotarian Dave Sharp a call at 613-475-5109 or look us up on FaceBook at Rotary Club of Brighton.

Consultants will return to talk wastewater EA BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – Consultants handling the municipality’s environmental assessment for Brighton’s lagoon-based sewage treatment system will appear at a council meeting later this month, to address questions and concerns. “…When we had so little time for a question and answer period with J.L. Richards at the original meeting, I think it was made very clear by most councillors, if not all councillors, that we should have had more time,” said Coun. Steven Baker, at a special council meeting called by the majority of council, on Tuesday, July 4. “We wanted a little more back and forth between them, and I think that’s what prompted the request for them to come and meet with us at a special meeting.” J.L. Richards & Associates’ consultants previously visited with council and the public, back on May 29, where they
reviewed the Schedule B Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) and presented an estimated $6.5-million fix for Brighton’s wastewater problems. The highlighted preferred solution at that meeting to Brighton’s high ammonia levels and the accumulation of sludge in its lagoon was to install a complementary specialized treatment system. With that said, council remains frustrated with the “lack of information” shared regarding the EA and still has questions, residents heard last Tuesday. Previously three councillors at the May meeting tried to reject the draft EA. Since that meeting and throughout June, councillors have continued to push to have the consultants return, with the hopes of obtaining some further clarity regarding the proposed solution and numbers used in draft reports.

The special meeting called on July 4, was initiated by a majority of council after learning J.L. Richards would not visit the municipality before the end of June and as requested. “For myself, I want to know how they arrived where they got, how they picked option three, why does that work the best, how did they arrive at the cost and so on and so on,” said Baker. “…I think this is going to be the biggest financial outlay for this municipality for a long time to come and we better get it right the first time.” Council met on July 4, to discuss J.L. Richards’ “compliance,” as a meeting hadn’t been arranged by the end of June as requested and despite knowing the consultants were scheduled to visit the municipality on July 17. Resident David Green questioned whether a special meeting called at the expense of the taxpayers advanced the cause at all. “We knew coming into tonight’s meeting that J.L. Richards was going to show up here July 17 – that was public information,” said Green. “So all I’ve seen happen tonight is there was motion to get correspondence [and] communication and the most recent one was to get three questions answered, so my question is, how much did that cost this municipality to accomplish?” The cost of a special meeting, as estimated by Councillor Brian Ostrander is about $480. Some councillors, like John Martinello however, say that’s simply the cost of democracy and council’s business should be conducted mostly in public. The cost for a special meeting, “it’s a pretty small price to pay,” considering the large price tag the municipality is looking at and “to be very honest, we gotta get it right,” added Coun. Roger McMurray. At the start of meeting, McMurray explained his reasons for supporting a special meeting. “Almost two weeks went by, with almost no info as to whether the consultants agreed to attend…” Reportedly on June 29, Martinello hearing nothing regarding a visit by the consultants, made the request for a special meeting. Councillors say just minutes later, CAO Bill Watson confirmed consultants would be visiting July 17. “No explanation was provided as to why J.L. Richards
could not meet the end of June timeline and I want to know why,” said McMurray. Essentially, councillors say this was the purpose and reason for the special meeting. Martinello continues to express worries over the type and class of EA, the potential need for increased capacity at the plant and over the fact that the assessment only looks at 20 years down the road, despite consultants’ attempts at the May meeting to address such concerns. “On the capacity issue, I think that’s something we need to get to the bottom of,” said Ostrander. He isn’t convinced one way or the other, there is or isn’t a need for increased capacity. “There’ve been a number of numbers thrown around in various reports, some suggesting statistical data is being used and some suggesting real data is being used,” said Ostrander. “I do know that we’ve exceeded our input over the course of the last couple months because of heavy rainfall, fairly significantly, so I do have some concerns with capacity.” Ostrander was surprised and unimpressed that the consultants couldn’t arrange a meeting before the end of June, he added. Following discussions at the special meeting, council has asked staff to document efforts made to get the consultants to visit with council before the end of June, for council’s review. (CAO Watson was absent for the recent meeting). “I fail to understand why and…again, only in my opinion, this seems to be becoming a common theme, where this council or the majority of this council passes a motion and nothing happens,” said Baker. “And we just heard two councillors give us the series of events that happened to bring us here today, i.e. there was no communication regarding this matter, until a petition was made for a special meeting. I think that’s horrible and I just think there’s a very, very serious communication breakdown between the senior administration and this municipality, council and the residents as a whole.” Council will meet again for its regular meeting on Monday, July 17, which will include a public meeting with J.L. Richards, where both residents and councillors will have the chance to ask consultants questions. The meeting will be hosted at the King Edward Park Community Centre and will begin at 6:30 p.m. Council has asked staff to include only “critical items” on the agenda, in addition to J.L. Richards’ visit.

Incredible Edibles Festival celebrates Trent Hills' rural roots
Pleads guilty to manslaughter, QW man released on bail Belleville - A Quinte West man has pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of manslaughter in the 2016 beating death of a man. Joshua Hickey, 31, had originally been charged with second degree murder in the death of 63-year-old Alvin Morrison after a night of drinking and rough-housing went awry on Oct. 11, 2016. Hickey, who admitted to beating Morrison with his fists – Morrison later dying of blunt force trauma to the head – was permitted by Justice Geoffrey Griffin to remain out of custody on bail in order to spend time with family before what Griffin promised would be a lengthy prison stay for the conviction. Hickey has a previous criminal record for violence and Griffin warned his stay in jail will be for some period of time, but allowed the Quinte West man to stay with family in the Bancroft area on $50,000 surety-posted bail. The plea deal and the bail decision angered members of Morrison’s family, who stormed out of the court room at Belleville court last week on hearing Griffin’s deci-
sion. The man has been in jail for nine months awaiting the most recent court proceeding and had asked Griffin time to explain to his five young boys why he would be going back to jail for what is expected to be a much longer stay. Earlier in the day, Hickey took the stand pleading with the court to grant him a short-term bail so that he could explain to his young sons why he has been incarcerated for nine months and to prepare them for the future. He explained how he and his children’s mother agreed they don’t want the kids to see him behind bars now and when he goes to prison. “It has been a long nine months and I want them to know that I am okay,” Hickey said shaking from admitted anxiety. “I want to be able to explain to them where I will be going for the next few years.” Evidence submitted by Crown Adam Zegouras showed the victim, Morrison, had been drinking with Joshua Hickey’s father, Albert Hickey, on the day of his death. Albert Hickey and Morrison engaged
in some good-natured horseplay, the court was told, during which Albert Hickey fell and hit his head. Joshua Hickey was not part of the drinking binge with his father and Morrison, but upon finding his father motionless on the ground, called 911. Court heard Morrison attempted to pull Albert Hickey up to his feet and Joshua Hickey grew angry that Morrison continued to do so, despite being told to stop. Evidence showed Joshua Hickey punched Morrison multiple times with a closed fist and the older man was taken to Trenton Memorial Hospital where he was later pronounced dead. Albert Hickey, for his part, sustained significant head trauma and was airlifted to Kingston General Hospital for treatment and has since made a full recovery. Zegouras was opposed to granting bail to Hickey and cited Hickey’s criminal record for assault, impaired driving, breach of probation and failing to attend court. Hickey is out on bail until August 18 when a pre-sentencing report will be submitted to Griffin.

Campbellford — For this year's Incredible Edibles Food Festival, organizers decided to join the rest of Canada in celebrating the 150th anniversary of Confederation by honouring local farm families.They did so by producing a book, Celebrating Our Rural Roots — 150 Years of Family, Farming, and Food in Trent Hills. The four families featured in the book — Grills, Little, Curle and Petherick — have roots in the community that run deep. “There's a real interest in looking back at the history and where we've come from because we've got new people in the area and they want to know about the history,” said Joan Sheppard, one of the book's contributors and a member of the committee that organized the July 8 event.Born and raised in Trent Hills she left when she was 16, not to return for more than 40 years when she and her husband made a former school on the English Line their home. “I live in the school and watch TV where I used to sit in class,” she said. It was the same school her mother and her grandfather attended before her. Working on the book enabled her to see the community with “fresh eyes,” she said. “I was new here 10 years ago,” said another person involved in the project, Sandy Chapman, who wanted to know more about the community's past. “We wrote our book to be a short anecdotal history that would be interesting to read,” she said. “It's a labour of love.” The committee in charge of the proj-

ect asked for submissions “from anyone who had wonderful stories to share, and we were lucky enough to have four families come forward and share their histories with us.” The book, just 61 pages long, is divided into six chapters filled with photos, and “all sorts of interesting facts, and some recipes and funny stories,” Chapman said. The subjects covered include farm life, churches, schools, cheese factories, Hoards Station sale barn, fair, sports, dances, Aron Theatre, and food. “This is our first edition and we hope to do another one next year,” Chapman said. “We're hoping more people will come forward with stories.” A hundred copies were printed, and if all sell, more will be printed. The cost is $10.Funding for the project was provided in the form of a $7,500 grant from the province's Community Celebration Program. Another committee member, Amy Petherick, worked with Stephen Dagg in making a five-minute video of interviews conducted with longtime members of the agricultural community — Gene Brahaney, Bill Petherick, Marc and Diane Curle and Elmer Laver. Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi and Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan thanked organizers for putting together the fourth annual Incredible Edibles Festival, “because we can't hire people to love the community,” Macmillan added. It takes “community members to make (it) happen.” More than 30 vendors, along with a half-dozen musical acts, took part in the six-hour event. Their wares included crickets, bison burgers, pressed sunflower oil, rabbit, water buffalo mozzarella cheese, goat butter and kale chips.
Funding announced for sewer extension project in Colborne BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Colborne — The federal and provincial governments will cover three-quarters of the cost to complete an environmental assessment as well as engineering and design work for a sewer extension project. The money — $66,061 from Ottawa, $33,031 from Queen's Park — announced by local MP Kim Rudd and MPP Lou Rinaldi July 7 is being provided through the Clean Water and Wastewater Fund. Cramahe Township will pay the balance of the cost to set the stage for a gravity sewer to be extended three kilometres north from the intersection of Percy and Park streets to Purdy Road. When completed, it “will help the municipality be attractive to businesses and people moving here” as well as make for “a better quality of life” for current residents, said Rudd, speaking on behalf of Minister of Infrastructure and Communities Amarjeet Sohi. The funding announcement is “critically important long term to our economic vitality,” because it will promote the development of industrial and commercial land
on the south side of Highway 401, Mayor Marc Coombs said. “We have a number of investors that are willing to invest tens of millions of dollars up there and create literally dozens if not hundreds of jobs.” CAO Craig Brooks said the total cost for the sewer's extension is around $3.5 million. The environmental assessment is expected to be completed by the end of the year, with construction to begin next year. The Big Apple has plans for a major expansion that involves adding a hotel, food processing plant, commercial retail outlet, country market and special event site. Extending the sewer to Purdy Road “would facilitate that growth,” Brooks said. “Also it gives us the ability to fully service our industrial land and sell (lots) at a good market price ... on the 401 corridor,” he added. The project is for a 12- to 18-inch line to be connected to one currently serving parts of the township's industrial and employment lands that's only four inches in diameter.
Brooks said it's probable the extension will “eventually (lead to) a phasing out of the small bore system over to a conventional gravity system.” The Colborne project is one of 17 in 11 communities receiving more than $1.3 million in federal funding. The Liberal government has been working over the last 18 months “to deliver unprecedented infrastructure investments” to help fund projects across Canada “that will shape our country for years to come,” Rudd said. It has dedicated more than $180 billion over 12 years in support of public transit, green and social infrastructure, trade, transportation, and rural and northern communities. Rinaldi, speaking on behalf of Ontario Minister of Infrastructure Bob Chiarelli, said the province is also committed to modernizing and upgrading essential infrastructure by working with federal and municipal partners. He said the sewer extension “puts the municipality in a good position for future funding opportunities.”

ATV riders and Cameco rev up fundraising for student nutrition programs BY SUE DICKENS
Northumberland County — Local ATV riders have kicked their fundraising efforts into high gear by helping ensure students have the fuel they need to learn in school. Members of the Northumberland District ATV Riders Club (www.northumberlandatvriders.com) recently donated $1,650 to support Northumberland Food For Thought. The money was raised at the club’s annual spring ride fundraiser. Thanks to a matching donation from Cameco Corporation, the total donation from the ATV Riders Club will be $3,300. “We love our community and want to give back to it,” says Mike Ainsworth, president of the Northumberland ATV Riders Club. “Supporting student learning in Northumberland is something our club members can really get behind, which they have
demonstrated the past few years in their fundraising efforts.” Over the past several years, the ATV Riders Club has raised nearly $18,000 to support the work of Northumberland Food for Thought, the non-profit partnership that co-ordinates school nutrition programs in Northumberland County. “The local ATV Riders Club is to be applauded for its ongoing commitment to help support student learning in Northumberland schools. We also appreciate the generosity of Cameco in matching the original donation,” says Beth Kolisnyk, community development co-ordinator with Northumberland Food For Thought. She added: “Nourishing young minds pays off in student success, and this latest donation will help ensure students in Northumberland County are well-fed and ready to learn.”

Sprint cars return to Brighton Speedway After a week off due to wet weather, the Brighton Speedway’s 50th anniversary season continued last weekend, headlined by the Southern Ontario Sprints making its third visit to the speedway this year.The Vanderlaan Building Supply Pro Late Models also competed in their second Hotch’s Auto Parts Triple Crown race of the year along with the OilGARD Anti-Rust Canadian Modifieds, Brighton Automotive Pro Stocks and Bill’s Johns Comp 4’s. • Sprint cars Shawn Sliter (No. 22) and Josh Sliter (No. 71s) led the 16-car field to the green flag in Race 6 of the 2017 SOS season. Shawn jumped out to the early lead with Josh close behind. The top five drivers broke away from the pack as both Sliters along with Rick Wilson (No. 42w), Josh Shantz (No. 18) and Dylan Westbrook (No. 47x) ran wheel-to-wheel
for the first 10 laps. The group had an exciting battle for the lead with different lanes being used by each driver. On Lap 10 Wilson used the outside line to get by Sliter, but his lead was shortlived as the car slid up the track in Corner 1. Westbrook moved by Sliter and then Wilson to take control of the race and lead the final 15 circuits. Hometown driver Charlie Sandercock (No. 57) was the hard charger on the night driving from his 12th starting position to finish third behind Westbrook and Wilson. Shawn Sliter and Chris Jones (No. 11J) completed the top five. For Westbrook, the win marked his 11th victory with the SOS series in the tour’s last dozen events. His fourth win of the season extended his point lead with six races remaining. • Pro late models The Vanderlaan Building Sup-
ply Pro Late Model division competed in its second Hotch’s Auto Parts Triple Crown race of the season with Kyle Tasker (No. 17) and Mark Raynor (No. 55) starting on the front row of the 35-lap event with Raynor grabbing the early lead. The Codrington driver led the first eight laps before Robbie Wilson (No. 09) took over. Point leader Charlie Sandercock (No. 57) started 12th and looked on his way to winning his fifth straight feature when he worked by leader Wilson on Lap 14. He led the next 20 laps before contact with a lapped car, Adam Turner (No. 92), forced Sandercock off the track in Corner 2. He received his position back, but with damage to the left front wheel of the car he was unable to hold on to claim the victory. Defending division champion Phil Potts (No. 29) beat Sandercock to the finish line in a side-by-side

finish for his first win of 2017. The race was a strong one for Potts as he rallied from being outside of the top five in the first half of the feature to claim the victory. Kyle Sopaz (No. 12) passed Brandon Mowatt (No. 46) on the final lap to claim third. Andy Mayhew (No. 1) finished fifth. • Canadian mods The OilGARD Anti-Rust Canadian Modifieds were a late addition to the racing card, but provided one of the most action-packed races of the night. Brandon Gregory (No. 22) and Shelby Mills (No. 78) started on the front row for the 25-lap event. Gregory used the top line around the track to dominate the opening 23 laps. He held off multiple challenges from Curtis King (No. 07), but went too high in Corner 2 and opened the door for King and point leader Andrew Hennessy (No. 87). Hennessy made a daring pass in the following corner and went from

third to first in one lap. A pair of late-race cautions set the stage for a final-lap shootout between the top two drivers in the division. Hennessy held off the charge of King at the finish line and claimed his third win of the season. King finished second while Gregory, Doug O’Blenis (No. 32) and Mike Lucas (No. 74) rounded out the top five. • Pro stocks Mike Freeman (No. 51) and Warren Mowatt (No. 2) led the Brighton Automotive Pro Stocks to the start of the 20-lap feature. Freeman, with one win on the season already, led the first 16 laps. Brandon Murrell (No. 19) found the bottom lane to his liking and put continued pressure on the leader before finally working by him on Lap 17. Wade Purchase (No. 53) also got past Freeman in the closing laps and challenged Murrell for the win. In the end Murrell crossed the line as the winner and captured his
first win of the season over Purchase. Freeman held on for a thirdplace finish while Austin Reid (No. 85) and Doug Anderson (No. 72) were fourth and fifth, respectively. • Comp 4 For Jeff Humphry, his third win of the season came much more unexpectedly than his previous two. Adam Wells (No. 48) and Bella Costick (No. 24) led the 15-lap Bill’s Johns Comp 4 to the green flag. Wells looked like the driver to beat for the first 10 laps as he held a sizeable lead over the rest of the field. On lap 11, though, Adam Flieler (No. 11) slipped by him and set his sights on victory lane. Flieler looked to have the race well in control in the closing laps until contact with the lapped car of Matthew French (No. 51) put the leader into the front stretch wall. Humphry took advantage of the collision and swept past the leader to claim the win. Flieler managed to hold on for a second-place finish ahead of Wells, point leader Tyler French (No. 0) and Josh French (No. 08).

Campbellford resident wins big at Great Lakes Carriage Classic Campbellford – A local resident here has returned home recently with a championship win after participating in the inaugural Great Lakes Carriage Classic. Last weekend, Jackie Shute and her pony Levi conquered at the two-day competition hosted in Clinton, earning both the ‘Pony Champion’ and ‘High Point Champion’ titles. The two-day event included ring classes and “exciting cones competitions,” where drivers showed their skills weaving through various sets of cones. Both speed and accuracy were reportedly key to Shute’s win.
Shute’s been driving and teaching carriage driving for about 25 years now. Her farm, Austringers Haven, is a carriage driving facility located in Trent Hills. On the 112-acre property, Shute offers lessons and social drives. The training facility also includes a dressage ring and a combined driving course, complete with obstacles. Shute is hosting a social drive on Aug. 26 and 27. Interested participants can look forward to four kilometres worth of trails, the dressage ring, a water crossing and a cones course.

Belleville teen Alex Sagriff dies in Cuba Belleville- Family and friends are mourning the stunning loss of an athletic, ‘fun-loving,’ 18-year old Belleville teen who died Thursday, July 6, during a high-school graduation trip to Cuba. Alex Sagriff, who had just a week before graduated as a Grade 12 student at St. Theresa Catholic Secondary School, was vacationing in Varadero, Cuba, with classmates. Reports said she was found unresponsive in her room at the resort. A letter sent by S-Trip, the agency that organized the trip, to parents and guardians of the students on the trip said the agency’s staff immediately reacted when told of the situation. “Emergency medical services arrived on scene and attempted to resuscitate the individual. Sadly the death was pronounced shortly thereafter and the doctor on scene proclaimed that it was due to natural causes,” read the email. The Sagriff and Davenport families posted a statement on social media on Saturday. “Our family member, 18-year-old Alex Sagriff, died on Thursday night. She was found in her hotel room in Varadero, Cuba,” read the statement. “Our concern right now is trying to get her home. We don’t know much of anything.” “Alex was an amazing young woman, she had a ton of friends and has a ton of family who loves her,” the statement continued, adding a request that reporters respect their privacy. “This is an awful time for our family,” it concluded. Described as a fun-loving student athlete, Sagriff played varsity basketball for the St. Theresa senior Titans.
She was to go on to play basketball at Loyalist this fall. The Catholic school board Friday issued a statement. “The Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board and the community of St. Theresa Catholic school is deeply saddened by the tragic news of the death of Alex Sagriff,” said Theresa Kennedy, superintendent of School Effectiveness at ALCDSB in an e-mail statement. Kennedy said the school principal, vice-principal and staff, as well as the Board bereavement and crisis response team have been on site at St. Theresa. “The well-being of our students and staff is and continues to be a priority,” continued Kennedy. “The Board response team will continue to be at the school over the next several days, and in collaboration with our community partners, information for accessing community supports has and will continue to be made available to students, parents and staff.” Brock Tufts, in a Facebook post, asked for privacy for the family of Alex Sagriff and thousands of posts of condolences could be found on social media sites Facebook and Instagram. A family friend has begun a crowdfunding effort to help the family pay expenses to bring their daughter home. “Funds raised will support Alex’s family with any expenses incurred that insurance won’t cover. Anything above and beyond that, the family will look to supporting Alex’s community through bursaries, programs or services. “ Alex Sagriff is pictured in this 2014 file photo, playing basketball for St. Theresa in the Bay of Quinte AthletGoFundMe: https://www.gofund- ics championship game. me.com/alex-sagriff.

Frustrated patients leaving ER, QHC hears BY JACK EVANS
Wellington - A rewarding year in terms of accomplishments, but extremely busy and challenging sums up reports from key Quinte Health Care officials delivered at the corporation’s board meeting and annual general meeting. One key challenge remains the emergency departments of the various hospitals. Figures last year showed in excess of 12 per cent of people attending gave up and left without being seen, said CEO and President Mary Clare Egberts. “We’re not proud of that,” she stated. With

extra effort, that percentage was whittled down to around three per cent. Higher demand that is budgeted for in a hospital of Belleville’s size also plagued the administration, forcing “cost per weighted case” up to $3,998 compared to the previous year of $3,820, largely the result of overtime staffing required. But QHC continued to forge ahead in its quest for excellence in terms of patient services, implementing many cost-saving ideas resulting from intense studies and consultations. Committees doing surveys were also empow-
ered to implement some of the results. Records-keeping was streamlined and waiting times for MRI services were reduced to 19 days, while the provincial average remains at more than 100 days. For work safety efforts, “we experienced a 15 per cent reduction in lost time and modified work incidents last year,” Egberts said. She also praised the results of a major accreditation visit and results at all four hospitals under the QHC umbrella; Belleville General, Trenton Memorial, Prince Edward Memorial and North Hastings hospitals.

Local chefs and physicians the perfect blend for the 3rd Annual Incredible Doctors’ Cook-off BY SUE DICKENS
Campbellford — Sir John A. Macdonald, Canada’s first prime minister would have been proud to see all the local folks mingling with local chefs and physicians as they created local food dishes together at the 3rd annual Incredible Doctors' Cook-off which was a recipe for success for an event with true local flavour. It was a tasty and tasteful Canada 150 year celebration. “I don't have a total on the amount raised yet, but I think it's fair to say it was the most successful year yet,” said John Russell, executive director of the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation. Funds raised will go toward the purchase of high-priority medical equipment for the hospital. More than 100 guests attended on Friday, July 7, and paid the $50 ticket price to get the chance to not only support the hospital but to enjoy the creative appetizers of the chefs and physicians. Food such as spaetzle fries, “something Canadian with an international twist,” created by chef Tina Moorey with help from Dr. Jamie Read were on the menu. Other appetizers showing the culinary talents of participants included a TriMediterranean dip, linguini sous vide, tiramisu, Malaysian chicken, a chicken confit slider, a buffalo tourtière, butter chicken, to name a few of the menu ingredients.
Fan favourite winner was the team of Dr. Ewen Ferguson and Karma Phuntshok, owner and chef at Karma's By The River. Sue Dickens/Metroland
Best Presentation winner was the team of Piranava Jeyakumar (JR), chef at Riverview Restaurant Bar and Grill and Dr. Doug Macklem Sue Dickens/Metroland
Presented by the Foundation and many sponsors including the platinum the Auxiliary to Campbellford Memo- sponsor, Maizeing Acres Inc. which has rial Hospital, the event was supported by supported the event since it started.
A highlight of the evening was the unveiling of a signature piece, called “The Future is Bright,” a repurposed pallet with the hospital’s logo, backlit. It was done in the spirit of the newest community event for Campbellford, the Pallets on the Town Festival which takes place Aug. 5. “The future is bright for the Campbellford Memorial Hospital because we are looking at a redevelopment project for the hospital and we are really excited about bringing that to
the community. We hope you will get involved when that time comes,” Holt told the crowd. A raffle and live auction featuring a ride on a Zamboni in the Santa Claus parade of the winner’s choice were all part of the fun evening. Making the event complete was entertainment by the Bay City Trio who performed light pop and jazz for the guests with Lee Batchelor on keyboard, Terry Denyes on drums and Stephen Rapos on bass guitar (vocals).
No Drone Zone in Madoc park sees developer seeking one-day exemption Madoc – The “No Drone Zone” sign posted at Centre Hastings Park in Madoc was the subject of a discussion by council following a request to fly a machine overhead and do some filming. The discussion was launched by an email from Playground Planners, the original installers of the playground/
splash pad at the park. The company asked if it could do some drone videography of the spray pad and playground and agreed to provide a copy of the video to the municipality for advertising and websites. Parks, Recreation and Culture Coordinator Jeff Bitton brought forward a report to council with the request
and while two motions were made, neither received a seconder so the decision was left for council’s consideration. According to Bitton there are no policies regarding drones in any other communities. “Council agreed to allow the one day of filming by Playground Plan-
ners via a drone provided we post it prior to the day they are filming and that they get signed waivers for anyone who may appear in the videos,” Bitton told the Central Hastings News. “Beyond that day, we will continue to enforce our “No Drone Zone” rule for the park.” The filming is expected to happen
“sometime later in July,” and is a onetime event. The company, said Bitton, will be expected to follow all possible safety protocol. Transport Canada does have rules in place for recreation drone users and they can be found at: https://www. tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/opssvs/flying-drone-safely-legally.html.

TRAVEL
Exploring Ontario’s Oxford County Cheese Trail BY JOHN M. SMITH
“COW” has become an operating anagram for the “City Of Woodstock” in Ontario’s Oxford County, and my first stop upon arriving there was at the city’s renowned cow statue. The Holstein Association erected a monument honouring the Springbank Snow Countess back in 1937, after she had earned the record of producing the most butterfat over her lifetime, and she continued to hold that world record for more than 20 years. The lifesize statue was eventually moved to the corner of Springbank Ave. and Dundas St., where it’s now on display, so I decided to go there and check it out for myself. After all, I’d been told that many tourists want to get a ‘selfie’ there – and many brides have even included it in their wedding photos. It’s a treasured landmark! There were as many as 98 separate
cheese factories in Oxford County back in the day, and although this is certainly no longer the case, Oxford County still refers to itself as “The Dairy Capital of Canada”, and the dairy industry is still very important - so much so that an “Oxford County Cheese Trail” has been designed. Therefore, I decided to check out this Cheese Trail for myself, and I found it to be the perfect way to explore the county and learn about its history while enjoying stops at several of the trail’s delectable tasting sites. I was accompanied on this Cheese Trail by Gabrielle Bossy, who works for Oxford County Tourism, so this made my journey much easier. We spent an entire day on the trail, but we still weren’t able to visit all of the more than 20 designated stops. However, I certainly did get a real sense of what the trail was about and what it meant to the area’s tourism.
Our first stop on the Cheese Trail was at Jakeman’s Maple Farm, where I was given a recipe from Mary Jakeman for a maple baked brie (using local ingredients). I also noticed a big sign on the wall on which the “National Post” had claimed that Jakeman’s maple syrup had been “voted best tasting maple syrup in Canada”. I told Mary that I’d have to talk to my neighbor, Ron Hubbs, about this claim, for he makes some pretty tasty maple syrup himself – and he’s always a popular stop on our county’s very own “Maple in the County”. Mary chuckled at this, said that she knew Ron, and that her award had been received in both 2004 and 2012. Our next stop was at the Ingersoll Cheese & Agriculture Museum, and this would be a ‘must’, in my opinion. After all, it provides a glimpse of what it was like to make cheese here in the early 1900s, has a replica factory on
site, and explains the history of its giant (7,300 pound) block of cheese that was created in Ingersoll back in 1866 (at what was the James Harris Cheese Factory, where the Elm Hurst Inn now stands). This mammoth cheese was built as a tribute to the growth of the cheese and dairy industry in Ingersoll, and it was eventually shipped and showcased in Europe. It proved to be a great marketing ploy - and resulted in the yearly shipment of 300,000 boxes of cheese to Great Britain. I’d also recommend a visit to the Cheesy Playground, for it’s located right behind this museum. Here I found youngsters climbing over and through what looks like slices of cheese – and spinning on what looks like a big wheel of blue cheese. Yes, this cheese-themed playground seems very appropriate here in Oxford County! After learning about the area’s cheese history at the Ingersoll Cheese

There’s plenty of cheese on display at Gunn’s Hill Artisan Cheese.
& Agriculture Museum, it was important to visit one of the modern cheese factories, so we were off next to Gunn’s Hill Artisan Cheese. Here we did some cheese tasting, of course, and owner Shep Ysselstein gave us a tour. My favourite part was simply standing in a room filled with a plethora of blocks of cheese. What a sight! I also learned that Shep learned his trade by making cheese in the Swiss Alps – and he particularly enjoyed creating specialty cheeses. Therefore, not only does he work with cow milk, but also sheep, goat, and water buffalo milk! I learned that Oxford County’s Quality Sheep Milk produces delicious sheep milk on its nearby sheep and dairy goat farm (try some of its smoked feta). Other worthwhile area cheese makers would include Mountainoak Cheese (with its 18 flavours of gouda) and Bright Cheese and Butter (which dates back to 1874). After checking out the cheese itself, we also stopped at some cheese-related destinations located along Oxford County’s Cheese Trail. For example, Ingersoll’s Chocolatea uses local cream to craft all of their chocolates, and The Olde Bakery Café is the place to try a cajeta latte (cajeta, a Mexican goat’s milk caramel, is made right here in Ingersoll at Local Dairy Products). Woodstock’s Dairy Capital Cheese Shoppe showcases locally sourced cheeses along with its many cheese accessories – and The Wooden Pearl sells locally made Goats Milk Soap. Woodstock’s Charles Dickens Pub uses Gunn’s Hill cheese curds in their poutine. Yes, ‘buying locally’ seems to be a ‘big deal’ in Oxford County. This year’s ‘udderly’ awesome events in Oxford County include its “Dairy Capital Cheese Fest” (Apr. 22), “Big Cheese Days” (Saturdays in May), “Cowapolooza” (Aug. 18-19), and “Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show” (Sept. 12-14).

Napanee woman fined for leaving dog in sweltering car A 57-year-old woman from Tamworth has been convicted of animal cruelty under the Ontario SPCA Act after leaving her dog unattended in a hot vehicle. Sandra Whitton pleaded guilty in a Napanee Provincial Offences Court on July 6 to permitting distress to an animal. She received a $250 fine. On May 12, an Ontario SPCA of-
ficer responded to a call about a dog left unattended in a car in downtown Napanee. An approximately nineyear-old Shih Tzu-type dog could be seen inside the vehicle in visible distress. She was panting heavily and attempting to seek shade from the sun under the seats of the vehicle. When the dog’s owner could not be located, the officer gained entry to the vehicle and removed the dog,
which survived. “Dogs have a limited ability to sweat, so even a short time in a hot environment can be life-threatening,” says Bonnie Bishop, Senior Inspector, Ontario SPCA. “Parked cars can quickly reach deadly temperatures, even on relatively mild days with the car parked in the shade and the windows slightly open. If you can’t take your pet with you
when you leave your car, leave them at home where they are safe.” If you observe an animal suffering in the heat, call 310-SPCA (7722) or your local police. To educate the public about the dangers of leaving pets unattended in vehicles during the summer months, the Ontario SPCA launched the 2017 No Hot Pets campaign in partnership with SPCAs and hu-
mane societies from across Canada. Through the No Hot Pets online forum, people are asked to share the dangers of leaving pets in vehicles using the hashtag #nohotpets. Pet owners are also asked to go online to nohotpets.ca and pledge to never leave their pets in their vehicles. Those who pledge will receive a free No Hot Pets window decal for their vehicles, while supplies last.

8 Wing Band performance at Halifax Tattoo was an ‘honour’ BY JACK EVANS
Halifax – The annual Royal International Halifax Tattoo here is much more than just a tattoo. It is a world-class pageant and a major part of the local culture. One can sense the party mood as soon as the lights go out in the 10,000seat arena and the massive band of more than 200 players launches into an overture. After a few stirring bars of “The Maple Leaf Forever” the band swings into “The Log Driver’s Waltz” and a large number of gusty singers burst into song spontaneously to join in, ditto for “Farewell to Nova Scotia,” this province’s unofficial anthem. There is a solid representation in this year’s Tattoo from the Quinte area, with 21 players from CFB Trenton’s 8 Wing Band, one of the major performing groups taking part. This band has played for many spectacular events, including changes of command, unit anniversaries and assorted community performances, but being part of a huge cast of more than 1,500 performers in front of many thousands of people is something they will all remember. Bandmaster WO Chris Webster described it as “a real honour,” and members of the band agreed, adding comments about the “friendly people”
The huge Scotia Place arena in the heart of downtown Halifax is almost filled to capacity with the hundreds of marching bands and pipes and drums participants. Jack Evans/Metroland
of Halifax and the thrill of performing before such huge crowds. Adding excitement was a visit by many of the officers and men from the USN aircraft car-
rier Dwight D. Eisenhower, which was visiting Halifax for several days during the tattoo. The cast involved performers from across Canada, the United
States, Russia, Australia, Germany, Switzerland and Great Britain. Hence the name, ‘international.” For Webster, the highlight was when
it was his turn to direct the entire ensemble in the closing national anthem. To prepare for this huge spectacle, the band flew in almost three weeks in advance to rehearse the complex regimental-sized marches around the arena and get to know their fellow cast members. Besides hundreds of bands people, there is a massive choir of local voices plus a children’s choir. Apart from music by the ton, there are hilarious comedy acts, mind-boggling athletic stunts and other circus-type acts. Highlights included an inter-provincial partnership between the Calgary fiddlers and the French Acadian dancers, also when the soloist with the United Statas Naval Band sang “Bridge Over Troubled Water, the lights dimmed and dozens of planted flashlights around the arena lit up and waved along with the singer. The Tattoo started in 1979 as a special salute to a visit by Queen Elizabeth and has developed into an annual show of seven performances running late June through early July. His involvement with this year’s Tattoo may not be the last for Webster. His new posting, effective almost immediately, is to Halifax and he is looking forward to it with enthusiasm. All one can think to say is what Oliver Twist said at the breakfast table: “Please sir, I want more.”

All-Together Housing celebrates 10th anniversary with new grant money Belleville – All-Together Affordable Housing celebrated its 10th anniversary last week – and there was plenty to celebrate as the corporation also received a $51,100 Ontario Trillium Foundation Grant. The news was unveiled July 7 at a ceremony at the All-Together’s 51 Victoria Ave. unit, a building which offers permanent residences and transitional units. All-Together Housing is a non-profit charitable organization that offers housing to Canadian Mental Health Association and HIV/Aids Regional Services clients. The agency believes there is considerable research to support the link between health and housing, which is one of reasons the agency chooses to partner with the CMHA and HARS. “All-Together is deeply grateful for this grant which helped us complete renovations to our Healthy Space Housing project at 51 Victoria Ave.,” said Bob Cottrell, president of All-Together Housing. “The renovations have made possible the creation of a community meeting space for non-profit groups focused on poverty reduction initiatives and positive space housing options, a barrier-free washroom and a transitional housing unit for lowincome individuals living with chronic illnesses, either physical or mental.” Cottrell believes there are a number of measurable benefits to its Healthy Space housing project, including being

the first housing agency between Toronto and Ottawa to provide supportive housing options to persons living with HIV/AIDS and offering a model of affordable housing within the local community.
All-Together was formed in July 2007 when four local community agencies – Community Advocacy and Legal Centre, Hastings Housing Resource Centre, Three Oaks Shelter for Women and United Way Quinte – decided to
create a new affordable housing agency. The agency now has a second building, called Tom’s Place, on Forin Street. It’s primarily used for transitional housing for seniors. “There is an affordable housing cri-
sis here,” says Cottrell. “There is also a need for much more supportive housing, which is why we are grateful for the partnerships we have formed to support some of our more vulnerable tenants.” Although wait-lists for affordable housing continue to be long and the resources of mental health agencies are stretched thin, Cottrell is optimistic that the future will be better, as senior governments are making more pledges to solve housing shortages. “The next decade promises to be an historic one for affordable housing,” he said. “Municipalities and affordable housing providers will find themselves with $11.2 billion more to spend on new and existing units over the coming decade, as part of the federal government’s multi-pronged push to help people find homes.” The agency also expects to form a partnership with a local affordable housing developer in order to take advantage of the new federal dollars. “All three levels of government need to be involved in providing affordable housing. We are hopeful that municipal councils will be offering their own suite of financial incentives to housing providers,” said Cottrell. “Incentives can include identification of affordable housing in community improvement projects, waiving of parking requirements, donations of land and reduced development charges just to name a few.”

Hastings health is worse than the national average BY LYNN MARRIOTT
Tweed – The Department of Emergency Services 2016 statistics were presented by Doug Socha, the Chief of HastingsQuinte Paramedic Services, to Tweed Council, in the hamlet of Marlbank on June 27. Hastings ambulances travel 1.5 million km per year. Calls were up 8.4 % in 2016 to 32,292. There have been 1,000 more calls each year since 2014. Ambulance response times have been met, he said. There is eight minutes to get to a heart attack or stroke and 25 minutes to respond to a cut or similar injury. Tweed has a 12 hour per day ambulance service and Madoc has a 24/7 station. A full time ambulance costs approximately $1 million per year, said Socha. The province pays half. To upgrade Tweed to 24/7 would cost $500,000. If Council upgrades, it would pay half the first year and the province would pay half the second year. Socha suggested the service
could increase six hours per day, per year for two years. Hastings has one per cent less 20 year olds and under, and four per cent more 65 year olds or older. There are many 60 year olds looking after their parents, he said. People are living longer and staying home, he said. The most calls are from people between 81 and 90. Each decade younger, the number of calls decreases, until a spike in calls for 11-20 years old. “The young boys and men smarten up by their thirties,” said Socha. We need to treat people before they call. Ambulance calls reported to family doctors do that. This program is now applying for continued funding. More response workers trained to dispense medications is also successful. Remote area calls are difficult. A Utility Task Vehicle, outfitted with a stretcher, has been purchased. Smart glasses are in use. Drone usefulness is being investigated.
“Proud to be Canadian” photo wins Star Touch contest BY SUE DICKENS
Campbellford — Combining her love for her family with a passion for photography and pride in Canada, Sarah Lewis used her camera lens to capture a silhouette of her two children with a Canadian flag and she won the Star Touch Canada Daythemed contest. Her photo, titled Proud to be Canadian, was entered just six days before the contest deadline. Shared on social media, the overwhelming online support as people voted for her entry helped her to win. “I posted it on my Facebook page and then people started cheering and John Charlton, a local photographer who also excels at web design, said post it on the Campbellford page, so I did and it was shared and voted on,” she told the Trent Hills News. Sharing on social media resulted in her making it to the top 20 entries and then the judges chose her photograph as the winner. “There were at least 140 photos in the contest,” said Lewis. The image of her children, Emily, eight, and Wyatt, six, was taken during an orange sunset in the backyard
of their home on the Bay of Quinte in Prince Edward County. Using her Canon SD to take the photo, she said: “I wanted to expose for the sky and wanted the kids to be in a silhouette, that was my goal. I knew the Canadian flag would be backlit and look good against the sky. I think I shot this with a high aperture.” “I like to do theme shots for holidays such as Christmas or Halloween and I wanted to do something new for my cover photos, and I knew the contest was happening so I thought what’s the worst that can happen,” she said with a laugh. The win means she receives $500. The contest is held every month. “Photography is just a hobby. I love it. I think it’s really fun. It’s my favourite thing to do when I get home from work,” said Lewis. She and her husband Aaron Macanual are franchise owners of Trent Hills Canadian Tire. “Aaron always gets the attention for his role with Canadian Tire. He bought me my first camera and is the reason I have all this nice camera stuff,” she concluded with a grin.
Quinte Health Care hosts upbeat AGM BY JACK EVANS
Wellington - Trenton Memorial, once perceived as a hospital due for closure, has been saved through recent provincial government pledges and plans are now underway to build a new hospital in Prince Edward County. QHC’s audited financial report showing a year-end surplus of $1.04 million was described as a “reprieve, not a deliverance,” but that helped contribute to the positive atmosphere.In early 2016, QHC was in the process of eliminating several positions to find savings amid a new provincial funding formula that had the health care organization at risk of assuming a massive deficit.During the AGM, Mike Cowan took the podium as a delegation for Our TMH, a citizen group which lobbied for QHC to keep the Trenton hospi-

tal open and improve services. Cowan’s stormy outbursts have been a fixture at QHC board meetings in recent years. But on Tuesday, he praised the QHC board for its efforts toward maintaining TMH as a viable community hospital, plus working to add additional services such as a dialysis unit. From there on it was smooth sailing as representatives of the various foundation and funding support groups reviewed their successes and contributions over the past year. Later, nominations to fill vacancies on the board rolled through. A report on the happenings of North Hastings Hospital focussed on the success of a new six-chair dialysis unit.Phil Wild, of the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation board, which works to secure donations to the hospital, reported
a balanced budget for his organization. Peter Knudsen, of the Belleville General Hospital Foundation, reported almost 16,000 donations to his foundation and gifts of more than $4 million to BGH for things such as a new CT Scanner and a Maldi-Tof machine to provide same-day identification of pathogenic bacteria. In her video-supported annual report, QHC CEO and President Mary Clare Egberts, stressed the corporation’s fourway test: “ Respect Everyone. Imagine it’s you. Take ownership (of issues). And always strive to improve.”She said the organization cared for 311,000 people over the past year. This included 104,100 emergency room visits, 23,900 surgeries, 1,500 babies born and 10,218 people in cancer care.The board was to elect its new chair following the meeting.

Eclectic folkie Tom Savage plays The Old Church Kingston native Tom Savage will appear at the Old Church Theatre Friday July 14 on the heels of a busy spring schedule. After a tour of the U.S. in April followed by work on recording his new CD with (Old Church alumnus) Tony Silvestri, Bonz Bowering, and Seamus Cowan, Tom made a swing into Eastern Canada in early June. He will squeeze in a few dates in Eastern Ontario before
heading on tour again, this time to Western Canada. Tom Savage’s music comes from places occupied by Townes Van Zandt and Bruce Springsteen, but also lurking in the shadows of influence are Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page in one corner, and Wes Montgomery and Freddie Robinson in another. Tom is a true believer and his talent doesn’t end at the stage: He recently produced Al Duquette’s new
record “Tales of the Wild West”. A writer of Country and Folk songs, sung in a weathered, emotive voice with a hint of a Bluesman’s growl, Tom Savage is not your average folksinger. Tickets are $25 at the door or $20 in advance and can be purchased online at www.oldchurch.ca or by phoning Lesley Bonisteel at (613) 848-1411. Bar and doors open at 7PM. Showtime is 7:30.

Duck flap ends happily for Madoc woman Dear Editor, In a follow-up to the conflict over my pet duck, I would like to express my profound gratitude here in public to my neighbours and friends who supported my appeal to keep my pet duck – I feel blessed to live among such caring people. I am overjoyed to be able to keep my little girl Rebecca, although we both have to adapt to new circumstances. We miss the support of the resilient and self-confident chicken Charlotta. I also have to endeavour to replace the companionship of Rebecca’s alter ego, Jemima Puddleduck, who got killed by a hawk last December. Rebecca is growing more attached to me by the day, and maybe at some point in the future I’ll be able to take her inside the house. (So if anyone knows how to sew duck diapers please get in touch with me.) Keeping “poultry” over the last four years has been quite the journey for me:
learning to take care of them, reading their body language and various vocal sounds and grieving over their short lives. Observing their range and depth of emotions – from empathy to envy, and fear to joy – you start appreciating how precious their lives are. And observing how vulnerable they are to all kinds of predation your instinct to protect them by hook or by crook kicks in. This is a strong instinct: it drives you to spoil them in every way imaginable. You get the best food and treats and you spend the best chunk of your day in their company. They make wonderful gardening companions. Jemima used to be the adventurer and explorer among my “musketeers” as I used to call them. She would watch what I’m doing rather than what I’m digging up. Rebecca was always a dreamer and slow to follow and scared of all kinds of things. She wouldn’t even swim in the
pond like Jemima. Marigold, my Brahma chicken who died after becoming egg bound after just her second egg, used to stand by Rebecca’s side until she had gathered the strength to run after Jemima. Yes, and even though sadly loss and grief are part of keeping these birds, they also teach you how to move on in life and live in the moment. Rebecca was inconsolable for three weeks after Jemima’s tragic death but then she made fast friends with Charlotta and by March she rejoyced over the bright sunlight and the snow melting into puddles. They also teach you unconditional love, because as you pour all your love into them you don’t ask much in return. You just watch them enjoying the passing moments and give thanks that you may keep them – well, her. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Birgit Brandt Madoc

Left to treasure her memory are her husband and best friend, George Edmund; daughter Lorraine (Joe), son Mark (Diane), and son Karl (Liz); grandchildren Grant, Alison, Peter, Kyle, Eric, Megan and Grady; and 5 great-grandchildren. Born in 1936 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Florence emigrated to Canada in 1963 with her young family.

Florence enjoyed a long, full retirement travelling with Edmund, residing at their lake-front property in Minden, and for 20 years in Brighton by the Bay. Family and treasured friends left to mourn her will remember Florence as a gentle-souled woman of faith who adored her family; loved to travel (as much for the food as the sites); and read voraciously. She will leave a hole in the hearts and lives of all who knew her and those she loved. Special thanks to the caring staff at Island Park Residence; Dr. A. Minuk; Dr. K. Parks; Northumberland CCAC Caregiver and Palliative Support teams; and Saint Elizabeth’s Palliative Care.

The Good Earth Wet ground, high and dry ground - soil questions answered
By Dan Clost Unless you have a bog or a pond, there are very plants that will accept being planted into wet ground. I say very few because, while I’m not aware of any such chappie, there are eleventy-eleven gazillion different genera on the planet and certainly there are a few that will suit. Some well known plants, e.g. weeping willow, which will handle very wet soil but they need to be planted when the soil is dry. For example, if you have a spot
that is wet during the spring and then dries out by August, Weeping Willy will do well there... if planted in August. So will native red maples, river birches, hemlocks, certain viburnums and so on. An excellent resource to find these groupings is a small book called, Trees In Canada. Why am I writing about this? Today, after penning this column, I will plant a pagoda dogwood, Cornus alternifolia and an upright Saskatoon serviceberry, Amelanchier alnifolia ‘Obelisk.” These two will join a pair of Lemon Princess spirea, Spirea japonica that I planted last week. All four were returned by customers who thought them dead: all of the leaves had turned brown and shriveled up. For those of you with plants exhibiting similar symptoms you have two choices. If they are established shrubs you can stay the course and wait for the soil to dry out a bit; after which the plant should refoliate. For new plantings, say two years or less, you might consider popping the plant out of the ground and moving it to a new spot. In such a short period of time, the root mass will likely be within the planting hole and there will be minimal damage; certainly much less than drowning. Btw, in just one week, the spirea are well on their way to complete refoliation. Without a doubt, this has been an
unusual spring. Some have called it an “English Spring” due to the amount of rainfall and others have gone on-line to bring up plans for an Ark. Fer sure, eh, many people will have been re-acquainted with the term “flood plain.” Another task that has fallen upon me is that of replacing several hanging baskets. It seems that they are in a rain shadow, so to speak, and they have dried out. After 30 plus years, you might think I should know this...and I do... but with all of the precipitation it didn’t occur to me that some plants required supplemental watering. Sigh. I’m going to combine variegated geranium (red flowers), Dragon Wing

tate is kin to the Sahara Desert. We have a few spots where some large water-garden tubs are buried. Two such tubs have some drainage holes drilled into them and one has no drainage. This allows us to copy several different moisture environments and broadens our pallet. As well, we’ve used a few large ice-cream tubs- which explains to the non-casual observer why bog iris is growing next to barren wort (Epimidium.) If you want a peat bog, simply bury a plastic bag full of peat on its side and then cut off the top. Fill it full of water, add sundews and pitcher plants. Thanks to Doug Green for that tidbit

begonias (similarly red flowers) some scaveola, blossoms of coneflower blue, and a trailing yellow daisy of some sort. In the centre, there will be a Whirling Butterflies, Guara lindeimer. The plan is for the foliage of the geranium and begonia to cover up that of the guara, leaving only the long thin scapes with the “butterflies” hovering above the other blooms. The blue and yellow flowers fill out a primary colour scheme and their stems will spill out over the edge of the basket.

About one-third of all cancers can be prevented by eating well, being active and maintaining a healthy body weight. While reducing your risk of cancer is certainly a year-round goal, the onset of better weather can inspire better habits. There’s no better time than right now to make a change. 1. Be sun smart For many, summer means spending time in the sun with friends, playing outdoor sports or just relaxing outside. Enjoy the sun, but practise your SunSense – check the UV Index, try to reduce your time in the sun between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., seek shade, cover up, wear a hat and sunglasses, use a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher and reapply often! 2. Try low alcohol or no alcohol For some, summer goes hand in hand with staying cool on patios, by the pool or in your backyard with alcoholic drinks. Drinking any type of alcohol increases your risk of head and neck, breast, colorectal and liver cancers. Try these tips to help reduce your alcohol intake – avoid eating salty snacks as these can make you thirstier, try a shandy or a wine spritzer and keep a glass of water handy so you can quench your thirst without reaching for alcoholic drinks. 3. Enjoy seasonal vegetables and fruit Re-think your meal by filling half your plate with veggies
and fruit. Try vegetables like field cucumbers, snow peas and red peppers to spice up your salads. Up your fruit intake by snacking on nectarines, raspberries and watermelon. With so many different vegetables and fruit in season, summer is a great time to try new recipes. 4. Rethink the BBQ Cooking meat, poultry and fish at high temperatures can create chemicals that may increase cancer risk. To limit the creation of these chemicals, try marinating meat in balsamic vinegar or lemon juice with your favourite herbs before cooking. Avoid charring by barbecuing slowly, keeping food away from hot coals and trimming off visible fat to prevent flare-ups on the grill. Or grill vegetables, veggie burgers and fruit slices instead of meat. 5. Be smoke-free The single best thing you can do for your health at any time of year is quit smoking. Summer is a great time to try or try again. Distract yourself from cravings by taking advantage of the good weather and going for a walk instead of a cigarette. If you’re quitting smoking or are already a non-smoker, find smoke-free places to enjoy the summer, like patios, parks and sports and entertainment venues.
