Brighton has ‘significant governance issue’ say consultants By Sarah Hyatt Brighton – Council is willing to take corrective measures to improve staff and council relations, both taxpayers and staff heard Monday evening in an opensession meeting. The investigation into council and staff relationships was undertaken over several months. Senior staff in the spring of 2016 raised concerns with council. On Monday, Ian McArdle from Pesce and Associates Human Resources Consultants delivered his report on the relationship between council and staff within the municipality and findings publicly. He was also on hand to answer any questions of council. “I have observed the corporation at work and as I say at the top of the last page of my report, we need to remediate a situation, that is as of now, in my opinion, not irredeemable,” he said. In the report, it states staff have felt disrespected, devalued and demeaned by the actions, inactions and statements of council. “This report is good news for the municipality in the sense that we’re very pleased to see our staff are comfortable enough to come forward and to bring this information to our council,” said Mayor Mark Walas. “We’re very pleased to see our council contacted the Pesce organiIan McArdle, from Pesce and Associates Human Resources Consultants, delivers his report on the relationship between council and staff, at the July 18, zation to look into this matter and we’re Brighton council meeting. Photo by Sarah Hyatt. certainly very pleased with this report
and the number of very good recommendations made. Finally, I think based on the motion this evening, it’s clear that these recommendations have been taken quite seriously.” Council put forth a motion to receive the report Monday and also, to further direct staff to arrange for training for all members of council to fulfill recommendations outlined in the report. Pesce and Associates during examination of the issue “of the tenor and tone of the working relationship,” between council and municipal staff, concluded “there is a significant governance issue in the municipality.” Pesce and Associates conducted individual interviews with each member of council and also select staff throughout the investigation. In McArdle’s summary of his findings, he outlined there is evidence of significant challenges in the relationship – but not all of council acknowledges this. The report does not identify any members of council or staff. It was also concluded there is little consensus as to why such a poor relationship has developed. Some of the issues identified in the report range from the clarity and understanding of the roles of staff and council, by council members, which is described as “varied,” to a lack of understanding as to appropriate procedure and decorum at Please see “Brighton” on page 2

council meetings, to inconsistency among council members in understanding the distinction between political governance and corporate management – nor is the distinction between political and operational issues well understood and the impacts of such misunderstandings. “There is a fairly broad range of attitudes, from supportive to ambivalent, among council members respecting the importance of the role of staff members in the municipality,� the report reads in addition. McArdle’s recommendation is that council, as a whole, takes the initiative for change and pursues additional training opportunities, such as the opportunity to learn in greater depth, the role of council in a unionized setting. As a means to remediate the situation, McArdle also recommended council members individually and collectively, make “every effort to sincerely embrace their role as stewards of the municipality,� and not managers of its day-to-day operations. “They must explore and clarify the scope of both their broad governance responsibility and the individual members’ responsibilities.� Deputy Mayor Brian Ostrander reiterated his hopes repeatedly Monday evening that every member of council would participate fully in training moving forward. “I think it’s unfortunate we don’t have a full complement of council here tonight,� he noted. Councillor John Martinello was absent for the meeting. The deputy mayor went on to reference a recent article he’d read in an edition of Canada’s Municipal Magazine, Municipal World, which talked about
living in an era where staff members are thrown under the bus by council and the public, and vice-versa. “And as I read this report, it seems to have happened here in Brighton as well and maybe has been happening here for some time. I certainly hope that we embrace the recommendations from Pesce and learn from them, whether or not the finger is being pointed at me or at us, any one individual councillor or a couple of councillors.� Training never hurts, nor does a refresher, Ostrander noted. Councillor Laura Vink echoed a similar message Monday night, adding she agreed with the report and was looking forward to council making some changes. But for Councillor Roger McMurray, he said it kind of feels like the troop commander sweeping in and telling you, ‘you’re all confined to the barracks for the weekend.’ “This is not the first time I’ve been held to account for something that I did – but it’s the first time I’ve ever been held to account for something that I didn’t do,� he said. “So that’s what surprised me about this particular report. I don’t doubt the people that complained have legitimate complaints and I can only say, I don’t consider myself to be a bad guy – I don’t think many people do.� McMurray said he’d like to see a more direct approach utilized. “If I’m guilty of something, tell me. If I’m not guilty of something, tell me that too.� The report outlines the need for council to recognize that each individual councillor’s actions become perceived actions of council as a whole. “We are all a part of council and collectively, we will move forward,� said Walas.

Brighton has ‘significant governance issue’ say consultants Continued from page 2 For Brighton resident Dave Cutler, he saw council’s reactions Monday evening as encouraging. Cutler says ongoing issues have impacted volunteerism within the community. He’s looking forward to seeing community development and promotion-oriented relationships restored. Cutler took to the podium during the citizens comment portion of the meeting and commended members of council for their “openness and candor” and willingness to pursue corrective measures. “I believe we’ve already begun to turn the corner,” said CAO Bill Watson, adding he’s heard relations are improving recently. “I think we’re going to continue to build on that momentum moving forward and if everyone participates fully, we’ll come out better off.” Watson has also been in touch with legal municipal expert, John Ewart from Peterborough to talk about a future course of action in light of the report. In other council news: Council is moving forward its physician recruitment efforts. After an in-camera session, council announced approval of the draft terms of reference and appointments for the municipality’s physician recruitment committee. The committee will include Krista Sullivan, Barb Herrington, Bob Canuel, Penny Typhair, Mayor Walas, Deputy Mayor Ostrander and Dr. James Larmer.
Executive director of the Brighton-Quinte West Family Health Team, Wendy Parker and the new CAO will also provide support to the committee. Staff is hopeful to begin work with members of the newly formed committee to hold their first meeting as soon as possible. Each of the five members of the public bring with them healthcare experience. Other committee members may be added as deemed appropriate by council. At the first meeting yearly, a chair and vice-chair will be elected and the term of the committee will be consistent with the term of the appointing council. Council has also approved a number of tenders. Among the tender highlights were: Drain Bros. Excavating Limited of Norwood was awarded the tender for the construction of a new walking trail, for a total cost of $48,792. Construction of the walking trail will be along Butler Creek, between Main and Monck streets. Cooney Excavating has been awarded the contract for mechanical brushing within the municipality, for a total cost of $84,320, before H.S.T. Cooney’s was also awarded the contract for ditching and restoration in various locations, totaling $93,550, before H.S.T. Ontario Limited (McIver Enterprises) will be handling installation of guiderails, for a total cost to the municipality of $23,517, before H.S.T. Finally, council awarded the tender for one new 2016/17, four-door pickup truck, snow plow ready, to Fraser Ford Sales in Cobourg, for a total of $41,553.

OPP Report
Playing Pokemon Go a no-no when driving a vehicle, police tell motorists Brighton-Cramahe Township-Trent Hills – Stop with playing Pokemon GO while behind the wheel, Northumberland OPP are telling motorists. Police warned the reality game is on their radar after two cars carrying four occupants were spotted driving erratically in downtown Colborne around 1:30 a.m. on July 13. Police stopped the vehicles and were told by people in the cars that they had been playing Pokemon GO. No charges resulted but police will

She said they really enjoyed participating in a great community event. “It’s a good cause to support the YMCA and the Strong Kids program, it’s great to being a community festival as well,” she said. “It’s an opportunity for us to practice our starts and to give back to the community as well.” Tiffany Ward, supervisor of child, youth & family and aquatics at the YMCA, said she was really happy with the three YMCA teams competing this year. “They all came together, it’s just awesome, I’m so proud of them,” she said. “They love coming together because
they’re all friends, they all work together in camp or in the pool so they loved it.” The amateur YMCA Sync of Swim team even placed first in the B division and Ward said everyone was pleased to continue to support the Strong Kids Campaign. “We work at the Y and we donate to Strong Kids off of our paycheques and this is just another extra added bonus that we can donate to help kids in need of going to camp, everyone

OPINION
Turkey’s incompetent attempted coup
Gwynne Dyer
Turkey’s democracy is dead. It was dying anyway, as President Recep Tayyib Erdogan took over media outlets, arrested political opponents and journalists, and even re-started a war with the Kurds last autumn in order to win an election. But once part of the army launched a coup attempt on Friday night, it was dead no matter which way the
crisis ended. It wasn’t a very competent coup attempt. The first rule of coup-making is: arrest or kill the person you are trying to overthrow. The coup leaders should have been able to grab Erdogan, who was on holiday at the seaside resort of Marmaris, but they didn’t. They didn’t shut down the internet and social media either, so Erdogan was able to use his cellphone to get a message out on FaceTime, calling on his supporters to defy the soldiers on the streets of Istanbul and Ankara. They didn’t even shut down the broadcast media that sent Erdogan’s call out to the public. It was three hours before they occupied the offices of TRT, the state broadcaster, and they were chased out again by Erdogan less than an hour later. They didn’t ever try to shut down the private television networks, which have a much bigger audience. The second rule of coup-making is: act as if you mean it. This usually means that you have to be willing to kill people – but the colonels behind the coup (the generals were all vetted by Erdogan’s people) were largely reluctant to use lethal force. This is laudable, in human terms, but if you are trying to overthrow the rule of a ruthless man who aspires to absolute control, it is a very bad mistake. They took control of Istanbul airport, but they were chased out again by Erdogan’s supporters because they were not willing to shoot them – and Erdogan flew back into the city. Maybe the coup-makers were just too short of troops to grab control of everything they needed to make the coup work. Maybe, also, they were afraid to order their troops to carry out a massacre because Turkey’s is a conscript army, and many of its young soldiers – basically civilians in uniform for one year – might simply refuse to kill their fellow citizens.

Water you doing about it? Editorial - Chris Malette
At any rate, they didn’t use massive violence in Istanbul (42 people were reportedly killed in Ankara), and so they were soon in retreat. But there can be no happy ending to this episode. Democracy would obviously have been dead if the rebels won. Almost exactly half of Turkey’s voters backed Erdogan in the last election, so a military regime would have had to stay in power for a long time. It would not have dared to hold a free election and risk Erdogan returning to power. It would have been equally dead if the coup had partially succeeded and the army had really split, for that would have meant civil war. Mercifully that possibility has now disappeared, but democracy will be dead in Turkey even if the coup is utterly defeated. A triumphant Erdogan will seize this opportunity to complete his take-over of all the major state organisations and the media, and become (as his followers often call him) the “Sultan” of Turkey. That is a tragedy, because five or ten years ago Turkey seemed well on the way to being the sort of democracy, with free media and the rule of law, where a coup like this was simply inconceivable. When Erdogan won his first election in 2002, promising to remove all the restricions that pious Muslims suffered under the rigidly secular constitution, it seemed a reasonable step forward in the democratisation process. He kept his promises about that, but gradually he went further, trying to Islamise the country against the strong opposition of the half of the population that favours a secular state. Luckily for Erdogan the Turkish economy was booming, so he went on winning elections – and he worked steadily to concentrate all power in his own office. He removed any officials who were not his avid supporters, attacked the freedom of the media, and committed Turkey to unconditional support for the Islamist rebels in neighbouring Syria. The coup leaders made the same mistake as the Egyptian liberals made when they asked the army to overthrow the elected president there in 2013. Egypt had a president whom they feared and hated, but they also had a democracy which provided a peaceful means of ousting him. Erdogan’s popularity would have dwindled with time. The Turkish economy is stagnant, his Syrian policy is a disaster, and the flagrant corruption of the people around him is getting hard to ignore. Sooner or later he would have lost an election. But like the Egyptian liberals, the officers who led the Turkish coup didn’t trust democracy enough to wait.

Some of you may have noticed things are, ahem, a little dry out there. Lawns that are part of the summer experience, where you can stroll barefoot through a cool, lush green carpet now resemble the husks of popcorn at the bottom of your movie bowl. Some varieties of trees are shedding their leaves. You get the picture. But, for those of us who can’t grasp what a low water warning is, here’s a portion of the Quinte Conservation memo of last week: Quinte Conservation Water Resources Manager Christine McClure says, “We have received approximately 50% of average rainfall across the watershed over the past three months. This means that some lake and river levels are visibly lower than they would normally be for this time of year. Flows in the Moira, Napanee and Salmon Rivers continue to be extremely low and we need a significant amount of rain to change that. The Water Response Team met Tuesday morning and declared that we are now in a Level 2 Low Water Condition.” A Level 2 Low Water Condition indicates a potentially serious water supply problem. This level often means minor water supply issues are encountered and there is the potential for major supply problems. A Level 2 condition is managed through Conservation Authorities, municipalities and other key provincial agencies. Low water conditions are ranked as Level 1, 2 or 3 based on a prolonged period of low flows or precipitation. A Level 1 is the least severe and Level 3 is the most severe. With the potential for the dry summer to continue, Quinte Conservation says it’s time for residents, businesses and municipalities to get serious about conserving water. The environmental organization is asking residents and businesses in the region to reduce non-essential water usage by 20 per cent until the supply is replenished. People on private wells should be especially careful of their water usage. Non-essential water use includes the outside watering of plants and lawns, and washing driveways and sidewalks… So it was all I could do last week while driving down my neighbourhood street to not roll down my window and hurl a string of invectives at a neighbour some half a block away. I have written about this mutt before. This is the lad who thinks it’s okay
to use his snowblower, in winter, to blast the slush and snow from his driveway into the street. That’s a jerk move, to be sure, but his drive is less than 25 metres from a stop signed intersection where kids going to nearby Queen Victoria School cross. The potential is there, then, for the icy slick in front of his house to give a motorist no grip when he or she applies the brakes for the crossing guard and kids. It’s a tragedy waiting to happen. But, here is said same bozo in the middle of a Level 2 low water warning – wait for it – watering down his driveway after washing his car in the drive. Later, on my way home from errands, I saw him some 40 minutes later, still with hose in hand, watering his lawn with the nozzle of the hose set on full-bore. Why should this make me grind my teeth, you ask? Hey, the bay has plenty of water, you say? Well, I’m of a mind – and many others in these parts may back me on this – that when conservation authorities are issuing low water warnings in our streams and rivers, we should exercise some restraint from lawn-watering, car-washing and should damn straight not be watering our driveway. (Who does that, anyway? I know, I know, old fellas. Well I’m one and wouldn’t think of watering my driveway. Ever heard of a broom? Oh, yeah, buddy up-street has a leaf-blower, too, for blowing the autumn leaves off his lawn and, you guessed it, onto the street.) Some years back, while owning a farm near Stirling, we learned to live with selfimposed water restrictions. This is nothing new to the majority of you reading this in rural areas of the readership, but some of the things you do while living on a well and septic may come as a shock to some of the delicate darlings in the city. Things like turning off the tap while brushing your teeth, the good old ‘let it mellow’ method of flushing, shorter showers (good luck with two teen daughters in the house!) and on and on. But, it drives home the point – water is a finite resource and it’s during times of quasi-drought, as we’re now experiencing, that it’s driven home. Got a neighbour like mine? Do us all a favour and tie his hose in a knot – the garden hose.

food and steel drums. The inside will feature two dining rooms and a side room available for booking parties, private dinners and meetings. During the snowy months, there will be a warm fireplace around which to congregate while the patio will be seasonally converted to some artistic winter motif that beautifies the street. The common thread will be good food and drinks, good friends and live music on Saturdays. Dunn says, “I want people out there to tell me what they want so that everyone can enjoy the place. I will also try making it pet-friendly in a special
area, and see how people feel about it. Through feedback I will know the feasibility of it of that plan. There is so much that you can do here so why not?” The name of the place is appropriately the address: 78 on Main.

Dunn plans to section different areas outside, for talking, eating and just kicking back with a local drink. “I want to have some place where people can gather and enjoy the patio,” says Dunn, “I will promote local beer, wine and cider, bringing it all downtown.” Dunn has hired a Toronto chef to develop the menu; in true pub fashion, the fare will include wraps, burgers, salads and small plates such as cheese/ meat trays. It is still not all finalized, really a fledgling idea, but she does plan on having occasional themes like Caribbean night complete with related

When I tell Brighton locals that there is a pub opening up right on Main Street, they all say the same thing: “Finally. It’s about time.” Funny, but one of the practical reasons that I moved to this pacific lakeside gem, is that it had what I call the bare necessities in numbers: banks, supermarkets, pharmacies, coffee houses, and restaurants. What it did not have is what every southern town between Kingston and Toronto does: For lack of a more graceful term, an authentically cozy “watering hole” with weekly live music. The absence of such a social nucleus is particularly surprising as Brighton teems with talented musicians and singers. That gap is being filled by Lori Dunn who bought the old building formerly occupied by Lola’s coffee shop (now next door). Dunn moved
here in May 2015, after working for 26 years in Toronto. And a traditional pub in Brighton is certainly a newsworthy event. One day, she took a drive up to Brighton and fell in love with the community: “The people I met were very welcoming. I felt that I fit in. As soon as I walked through the door, the house felt like home. I didn’t think to make it a pub initially. I didn’t know what I was going to do with it. Over the months, from talking to people, I figured it out.” She earnestly listened to opinions and acted on suggestions. Upon reflection, one can practically say that an old-fashioned pub with live entertainment outside on a grand patio is a darn good idea that simply works.

Province spending $20 million to build network of charging stations By John Campbell Northumberland County – The provincial government will spend $20 million to build a network of close to 500 electric vehicle charging (EVC) stations across Ontario. It’s working with 24 public and private sector partners to set up the stations, and two of the locations are in the riding of Northumberland-Quinte West, MPP Lou Rinaldi said in a news release sent out July 13. One is McDonald’s in Port Hope and the other is Tim Hortons on Grand Road in Campbellford, he stated. Not so fast, says Doug Robertson, owner of the Tim Hortons in Campbellford and five more in Trenton, with another on the way in Brighton. “There’s no truth to this at this
point,” Robertson said Monday. He read a statement from corporate office saying 66 locations “were originally proposed” but it was “still working with restaurant owners for approval to participate.” The Ministry of Transportation had been advised by KSI, an integrator of energy efficiency automation and electric vehicle charging systems and products, “not to release this list as they were still trying to get site approvals but they went ahead with the release,” Robertson said, quoting from the corporate communication he had received. “The MTO did not consult us before releasing the full list to the public.” Rinaldi was unavailable for comment. His executive assistant, Elaine Palmateer, said in an email that the
EVC stations were chosen by means of an “application process” that had a Feb. 12 deadline. “We then worked to build out this network by carefully selecting the most competitive proposals from a number of municipalities, businesses and non-governmental agencies across Ontario. The result is a widereaching network of well-spaced Level 3 and Level 2 charging stations across Ontario (Level 3 charging stations allow EV drivers to charge their vehicles about 8 times faster than Level 2 charging stations).” Palmateer said “there may be some miscommunication within the Tim
Horton’s [sic] organization” and she suggested following up with the owner of the Campbellford restaurant or “directly with their head office.” Emails were sent to Tim Hortons asking for clarification but no reply had been received by press time. The news release issued by Rinaldi’s office said expanding the charging infrastructure “will help address ‘range anxiety,’ a common concern of consumers regarding the distance electric vehicles can travel compared to traditional vehicles. Building a more robust network of public charges across Ontario, at
convenient locations, allows electric vehicle owners to plan longer trips knowing that charging stations are as readily available as gas stations.” Once the network is in place, by March 31, 2017, “electric vehicle drivers will be able to travel from Windsor to Ottawa or from Toronto to North Bay and within and around major urban centres.” Palmateer said in an interview that whoever operates the charging stations “decides what the fee is.” In “jurisdictions outside Ontario they usually charge a flat fee of somewhere between five and 10 dollars, but that is up to the partners.”

Port Hope resident recognized as outstanding hospice volunteer with Community Care Northumberland County – Diane Rainbird, who has served as a volunteer with Community Care Northumberland (CCN) for 20 years, has been named one of the 2016 June Callwood Circle of Outstanding Volunteers Award recipients. The award was established in 1994 by the Hospice Association of Ontario, now Hospice Palliative Care Ontario, to acknowledge and thank outstanding hospice volunteers throughout Ontario. It was named for the late June Callwood, volunteer, founder of Casey House Hospice, community activist, author and recipient of the Order of Canada. She was its first recipient in 1995. Since then 560 people have received the award. Rainbird, a registered practical nurse, said her role as a hospice volunteer satisfies her wish to give back and support others as well as have the opportunity to contribute to a caring community and to achieve personal growth. “Diane quietly has been a stalwart Hospice volunteer,” said CCN executive director Trish Baird said at the agency’s recent annual general meeting. “She is dedicated, reliable, support-
ive, fun loving, genuine and caring. She is a fiercely committed to the field and carries the value that exceptional quality hospice palliative care is an equal right to all.” Baird, in a news release, said the Port Hope resident has also been “a supportive champion of the program through years of participating with fundraising campaigns, special events and committee work. She is a committed learner and commits herself to attending as many ongoing training sessions as she can.” Rainbird said she has witnessed “major changes” during her 20 years as a hospice volunteer “but there has been one thing that will never change, and that’s supporting and giving comfort to the person during their end of life and supporting their families. Because that’s where it is at, and why I volunteer”. Baird said volunteers “are an essential element to the delivery of our visiting Hospice Palliative Care program within Northumberland County” and she congratulated Rainbird “for her outstanding volunteer efforts and her From left, CCN executive director Trish Baird presents Diane Rainbird her June Callwood Circle of Outstanding Volunteers passion for Hospice Palliative Care program in Award.

Quinte West Bike Rodeo winners receive prizes By Erin Stewart Trenton – Four lucky children in Quinte West won brand new bicycles, thanks to the 2016 Bike Rodeo program put on by Quinte West Community Policing volunteers and sponsors. Faith McIntosh-Russell, 9, from St. Peter Catholic School, said she was really excited to win a new bike. “I’m going to ride it around the block lots and lots and lots of times,” said Faith. “I really like riding my bike and I like learning how to be safe on the road.” Faith said her new bike looks really cool with interesting handlebars and she said she loves the colours pink and green on it. Quinte West Community Policing volunteers went to eight schools in the spring to teach a total of 348 children the rules of the road on their bicycles and ensure every student participating in the Bike Rodeo had a proper helmet. “We do as many schools in Quinte West as we can possibly do,” said Bill Trumley, president of Quinte West Community Policing. Volunteers set up a course with signs to teach road rules and hand signals and also the importance of helmets. Each child who participated in the
rodeo received a Mac’s Milk voucher for a free Froster, provided by the OPP, and each participant’s name was entered into the draw to win a bicycle at the end of the rodeo. “The bike rodeos are very important to us to do every year,” said Trumley. “We make the kids aware of these things that are very important when they get out of school to make sure they follow the rules on the road because they could get hurt.” Trumley said the Bike Rodeo has gone on for more than 10 years now and this year’s rodeo was a great success with the most participants to date. “It’s fantastic, every one gets better every year,” he said. “As long as we educate one kids of what’s going around them on their bike then we’ve done our job.” Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison said he’s grateful for the work Quinte West Community Policing does in the community and stressed the importance of educating people to wear a helmet while biking at all times. “We’re going to work with the OPP and our bicycle rodeos to encourage children and adults to wear their helmets,” said Harrison. “I think we have got to start enforcing that more than we have been.” Quinte West Community Policing volunteers said they were very grate-

Dear Editor, The following is addressed to Trent Hills golfers. I realize most golfers in Trent Hills have known the owners of the three courses for a long time, but that is no excuse for abandoning Pineridge Golf Club when new owners took over. The new owners, Manuel and Paula, are very nice and hard-working people. The course is in fabulous condition and almost always wide open for play. With the abandonment, the number of leagues has crashed and the few that remain have very few participants. The Tuesday evening Mixed League and Wednesday morning Ladies League are looking for players. Come out and see for yourselves that the course is in amazing shape. We should all welcome Manuel and Paula to our community and thank them for taking over Pineridge when it could well have closed.

Piping plover population plummeting; Presqu’ile staff chipping in By Sarah Hyatt Brighton – Staff at Presqu’ile Provincial Park and a group of volunteers are doing their part to help one of North America’s most endangered birds. To give three piping plover chicks the best chance of survival, a large conservation effort has been underway at the park since the May long weekend, with staff and volunteers working around the clock, says David Bree, senior natural heritage education leader for the park. “This is the first documented nesting of piping plovers here in exactly 100 years, since 1916,” explained Bree. The piping plovers are listed as an endangered species both federally and provincially and are also a species at risk in the United States, Canadian Wildlife Services reports. Primarily, there are really three main breeding locations in North America – the Great Plains, the Great Lakes and along the Atlantic Coast. It’s been an ongoing “fragile recovery” process for the shorebirds which nest and feed along the beaches of North America, due to habitat loss and poor nesting success over the years. “The piping plover population on the Great Lakes in the mid-1980s was maybe only 20 to 30 birds,” said Bree. And all of them were nesting in the
United States. “It’s been a big conservation effort to build up the population,” said Bree. And still, the entire global population of piping plovers as reported by the last International Census period in 2006, tallied fewer than 8,000 birds. Bree says that number now could be anywhere from 5,000 to 8,000. It wasn’t until the late 2000s, the piping plovers returned to the Great Lakes for nesting. The first successful breeding record on the Great Lakes in Ontario since 1977 was in the spring of 2007, when a pair of piping plovers established a nest at Sauble Beach. During this year, the Great Lakes population increased to 63 pairs, as reported by Canadian Wildlife Services. Nesting has since occurred in more Southern Ontario locations such as Wasaga Beach and in Port Elgin, and this year now at Darlington Provincial Park and Presqu’ile. However, the species remains vulnerable to predation and human disturbance. This is largely in part because their beach and dune habitat has been greatly decreased and altered by human development and activities in the Great Lakes region, Ontario Parks reports. “The norm over the last 10 years is we typically see the piping plovers stop here for a few days,” explained Bree.
This year, staff knew something was different though. Early on, upon the plovers’ arrival, staff observed what they believed to be breeding-like behaviours, with two male brother plovers competing for a female. On May 27, the first egg was laid. In late June, Presqu’ile welcomed three new plovers. “This has been a huge amount of work,” said Bree. Parts of the beach were roped off to accommodate and protect the birds and cages were constructed to protect the eggs and birds from other animals like gulls and raccoons. Maintenance crews have had to change the way they clean up the beach, as mechanical raking would put the birds in jeopardy. The Canadian Wildlife Services was called in to help construct a safe space for the plovers and to help with birdbanding of the chicks. A group of volunteers had been “babysitting” the three chicks. “We were very fortunate that when we put a call out through the Friends of Presqu’ile Park, we received a great response from people who were willing to help and volunteer,” said Bree. Volunteers were key in helping keep
an eye on the chicks and keeping park predators or nests getting washed out, and beach visitors informed and clear explained Bree. from the bird’s area.

Trent Hills chamber setting up task force to advice on important issues
Trent Hills – The Trent Hills Chamber of Commerce is setting up a task force to advise its board on matters of special interest to the local business community. The group will meet just once a year to provide “a snapshot of the issues that businesses face at the municipal, provincial and federal levels of government,” said Jeff Hamilton, chair of the chamber’s board of directors.
The task force will provide input through the chamber’s government relations and advocacy committee, which meets four to six times a year. Its creation is part of the process the business organization begun last February to be accredited for the first time by the Chamber Accreditation Council of Canada, which recognizes chambers “that satisfy a set of high standards and practices – chambers that seek to stand out, that look to the future,” says the CACC.
Accreditation involves being successfully evaluated by the accreditation council “against rigorous national standards of policy, service and performance.” Non-board members are being invited to sit on the task force. “We are having a great response,” said chamber executive director Nancy Allanson. Their participation will help the chamber in its role as the voice of business to identify priorities it should
follow in advocating on behalf of its 235 members. “We want to be consistent in the approach that we take for the sustainability of the organization,” Allanson said. “It’s also helping us provide better value in service and benefits to the members as well, by raising the level and quality of the work that we do here.” She said the board “is really excited about this new opportunity to engage more members in the policy process,
and looking forward to working with this new committee and effecting some change,” by identifying issues and possibly coming up with solutions. Chamber members were given until July 29 to submit their name to be part of the task force. The organization must have a plan for achieving a twoyear accreditation ready for the CACC by mid-September. Approximately 75 chambers across Canada have been accredited, 33 in Ontario.

Campbellford, Stirling will host provincial ball championships By Bill Freeman Campbellford – Campbellford and Stirling will host the provincial OASA midget softball championships July 22-24. Kinsmen Park in Campbellford will play host to the “A” championship, while “B” division contenders will play at the Henry Street diamond in Stirling.
Orange score shutout, still in first place tie Brighton – It’s going to go down to the wire to see who finishes in first place in Division 1 of the Bay of Quinte Men’s Outdoor Soccer League. The standings show Brighton Keystone Orange and Azzurri are tied with 19 points after nine games, three ahead of the Hellenics. The Orange kept pace with Azzuri, who dumped A & E Ceramic Tile and Marbe Ltd 7-0 July 14, by blanking the Quinte Old Boys 5-0. Shane Chapman led the way with three goals, with Kevin Valdez and Brennan Thompson scoring one apiece. Kyle Joy earned his third shutout of the season. Brighton has “a tough game at home” July 21 against “a very good 8 Wing team,” coach Merv Heffernan said. “We’ll need to be sharp.” The game gets underway at 8:30 p.m.
The Campbellford OPG Cougars, already on their way to the Canadian championships, are a good bet to win the title. They open the tournament Friday night at 8 p.m. against Tara. The “A” division features eight teams and wraps up with the championship final Sunday, July 24, at 3 p.m. The three-team “B” division kicks
off Saturday, July 23, at 11 a.m. with a game between New Hamburg and Lyn. The final is slated for 5:30 p.m. Also vying for “A” division bragging rights are Chepstow, Caledonia, Port Perry, Wellesley, Newburg and Tavistock. On the “B” side Arthur joins New Hamburg and Lyn. The opening ceremonies take place
just before the Cougars’ game at 8 p.m. The Cougars are currently raising funds for their trip to the national finals in Saskatoon in August, and are running an online auction with items ranging from TFC soccer tickets to Campbellford Fair tickets. You can make a bid via a link on the Campbellford Minor Softball Facebook page.
The club is also collecting bottles and would appreciate a call from anyone who has empties they’re willing to donate. The Cougars will also host a spaghetti dinner July 25 at the Campbellford Legion from 5 to 8 p.m. Tickets are available from any Campbellford Cougars player or coach.

Anger spills over in Brighton water truck war By Sarah Hyatt Brighton – The struggle for Pinnacle Street South residents of Brighton concerning water trucks is worsening, say residents. Residents have described the street as a mess – with “racing water trucks” posing safety concerns for kids and seniors, the traffic and noise is said to be unbearable, and the dust and mud, especially recently in combination with scorching temperatures and the humidity is making life wretched. “I’m fed up,” says Ted Baker, who lives at 40 Pinnacle St. S. Recently, residents have been urging council for change. Earlier in June, residents petitioned council to relocate the water output from the parks and recreation building on the street, back to the industrial park in Brighton “where it belongs.” Baker describes his ongoing struggle as the equivalent to “farting against thunder.” Tom Walsh, who lives at 54 Pinnacle, says daily life is a struggle. The dust tossed around from water trucks is described as so intense – Baker says he can’t open the windows of his home. “If you do, your house will be filled with dust,” added Walsh. “Then you’re breathing that in all day long.” The constant washing of windows and cars is described as exhausting, and also, expensive. Council previously referred the petition and information from residents of the street to staff for report. “We are listening to our residents’ concerns and staff and council will work together to find the best option for everyone,” said Mayor Mark Walas. Staff is looking at a number of options, the mayor continued, from the regulation of hours, to decrease traffic and noise on the street for residents, as well as ways to maintain a cleaner and safer area. Residents have voiced concerns over water trucks filling up as late as 1 a.m. previously. In terms of relocation, CAO Bill Watson confirmed Monday evening staff is looking at alternative locations.

Trent Hills teens to play for Eastern Canadian softball title in Newfoundland
By John Campbell Trent Hills – One season after playing organized softball for the first time, Elijah Brahaney and Caleb Outred will be heading to Newfoundland next month to play in the Eastern Canadian
Softball U16 boys Championship. They’ll be going to Conception Bay as members of the Ivanhoe Storm, which qualified for the championship by placing fifth with a 2-2 record at an Ontario Amateur Softball Association elimination tournament held earlier
this month in Napanee. “It was really awesome qualifying,” said Brahaney, who plays second base and catcher. “I’m really excited to go play with my friends there and have a chance to represent Ontario.” Outred, a centre fielder, said it will be “a good experience” as well as an honour to play in a championship against “a lot of good teams. It’s going to be good ball there.” Both boys are also looking forward to visiting Newfoundland for

The Storm almost qualified to play in the Canadian championship at the Napanee tournament in which the top three teams and the host team advanced to compete for the national title. Needing a win its last game, Ivanhoe yielded the winning run in the bottom of the seventh and lost 5-4 against Kitchener-Waterloo after erasing a 3-0 deficit to take a 4-3 lead. Kitchener-Waterloo tied it in the sixth before going on to win. Ivanhoe plays in a league that includes Ennismore, Cobourg and Napanee. Its record so far is 9-3.

The two 15-year-olds played for Campbellford’s peewee team last year, and joined Ivanhoe this season when Campbellford couldn’t field a bantam squad. “I was just really fortunate to be a part of it, because last year we didn’t have the greatest team, and just to be on this team, I feel really lucky,” Brahaney said. “It’s a really great bunch of guys who started to play good together.” The team made its debut in May, with all but two of its players being firstyear bantam, but it ended up “playing

Potts, Ferguson, Purchase and Toms score wins on Salute To The Forces Race Night at Brighton Speedway
Brighton – A thrilling night of action at Brighton Speedway saw 72 stock cars signed in to the pit area on CANEX Salute to the Forces race night on Saturday, July 16. Lieutenant Rob Keaveney of the Canadian Armed Forces’ 8 Wing CFB Trenton was on hand as the honourary starter and trophy presenter. The Eastern Ontario Vintage Stock Car Club also made their first visit of the season. Gregory claims Eastern Ontario Vintage feature Shawn Gregory drove his 1979 AMC Spirit bodied modified from the ninth starting spot to the lead on lap 13 and narrowly edged Pete Stapper (No.28) over the final two laps to claim the Eastern Ontario Vintage Stock Car Club’s return to Brighton Speedway on Saturday night. Paul Billings (No.B10) and Denzil Billings Jr. (No.X22) started on the front row for the 15-lap main event. Paul Billings jumped to the early lead, but it was Stapper charging through the field from seventh to fourth on lap two who was noticeably the man on the move. The only restart of the race on lap four saw Steve Lackie (No. B22) drive to the lead, but Stapper provided plenty of company up front. Stapper carved out the top lane of the speedway while Lackie remained on the bottom. Stapper used the outside groove to take the lead on lap 10, while Gregory followed the same line to second. Stapper went back to the bottom with three laps to go and Gregory continued to build momentum up top. Gregory took the lead on lap 13, and momentarily gave it back to Stapper coming to the white flag when he jumped the cushion in turn three. Stapper couldn’t capitalize though, as Gregory retook the lead back exiting turn two and led the final two corners to claim the victory. It was Gregory’s
first win at Brighton with the Eastern Ontario Vintage Stock Car Club since 2014. Potts surges to third Pro Late Model win Phil Potts (No.29 Vanderlaan) wasn’t bothered in the least by a ninth-place starting position for the Vanderlaan Building Products Pro Late Model 30lap main event. Potts took the lead from Kyle Sopaz (No.12 Lots and Lines) on lap 17 and led the final 13 circuits for his third win of the season. Robbie Wilson (No.09 Bay Mazda) and Austin King (No.89 Durmach Excellence in Tooling) brought the field to the green flag with King claiming the early advantage. King raced side-byside for the lead with third-starting Sopaz over the opening seven laps. King bobbled the car in turn one and Sopaz took over the point on lap seven. As the field began to work through lapped traffic on lap 11, King made contact with lapped car Chris Heard (No.9 Bernheisel Racecars) in turn one. The contact saw the left side of Heard’s car dig in to the track, sending him flipping in the air. Heard did a complete barrel roll before coming to rest on all four wheels. Heard was uninjured, but the car was severely damaged. When the field came back to green, Tyler Rand (No.84 Terry’s Taxi) battled for the lead, but Sopaz held serve in the bottom lane. Potts restarted in third and on lap 16 took the runner-up spot from Rand in turn four. Potts then found grip in the top lane of the racetrack and used it to reel in Sopaz. A five car-length Sopaz lead was erased by the final caution of the night on lap 17. Potts used the same outside line to take the lead and cruised to the finish line 2.2 seconds ahead of Sopaz and Rand. Brandon Mowat (No.46 Target Fabrication) and Adam Turner (No.92 Village Variety) completed the top-five.

Reluctant Tweed Fair hero would ‘do it all again’
By Melyssa Gloude
Tweed – “I’m just an average guy that did what anyone would do – look out for everyone else. That’s the God-honest truth.” These humble words come from 51-year-old Calvin Stein: the Madoc native being heralded as the quick-thinking saviour of a threeyear-old girl from Tweed, who was nearly trampled by a team of ponies during the annual Tweed Agricultural Fair twp weekends ago. Stein was not so lucky. The girl was hurled to safety by the softspoken Madoc farmer, but Stein wound up under the hooves of the stampeding team of pull ponies. It has been reported the team that broke free were horses – even draft horses – but, in fact, fair officials say it was a team of ponies, shod with special shoes for grip in the front and rear of the shoe. “It all started on Saturday during the horse pulls. The first class was in the ring and I was getting my team ready to pull,” said Stein in an interview with Metroland Media. “We were standing around, talking about a horse that I was looking to purchase and then the excitement started down in the ring.” Stein, a line supervisor for Hydro One, runs a cash-cropping operation with his brother. He says that he’s had a tremendous amount of experience with horses and ponies over the years – experience which made him able to act quickly during the incident on Saturday. “I saw the team run, and they unfortunately got away. That’s the key; it was a very unfortunate accident. They got away from the gentleman, ran into the front of a vehicle, and then they turned and came running down the track.”
It was Steins’ quick-thinking, coupled with experienced intuition that led to the rescue of the three-yearold girl from the path of the running ponies. “I saw them coming. I could read them; me knowing horses, my first instinct was to try to catch them, so I started running toward them,” says Stein. “I saw the father standing there with three kids, standing side-byside. I started yelling and screaming. The father had two kids by the hand and the third one was standing there, oblivious to what was going on, just enjoying the fair.” Amidst the chaos, Stein made a quick decision to throw the young girl out of harm’s way. “I basically grabbed her, and I turned. I knew that the horses were close to me, so I threw the girl,” he said. “I remember there was a car and a trailer, and I threw her toward that, hoping I didn’t hit the trailer. As soon as she left my hands, the team hit me.” Stein describes the moments after the rescue as blurry. “The team knocked me down – I got a hoof print right in the middle of my back and at that point, everything went warm and I felt no pain,” says Stein. “I did a complete flip in the air. I remember my feet being above my head and then I landed face first and shoulder first into the ground. I went limp. I couldn’t breathe.” Though the injuries sustained were non life-threatening, Stein did not come out of the incident anywhere near unharmed. “I looked at my hand – with my left eye, because my right eye was just mangled – and I saw a pool of blood and heard everybody
scream,” says Stein. “At that point, I honestly thought that was it. I thought, well, if this is how Calvin’s gonna croak, this is how Calvin is gonna croak.” For his efforts, Stein sustained a broken nose, multiple facial stitches, a concussion and a broken right orbital socket. According to his attending optometrist, the fate of the vision in the right eye is unknown – but Stein is optimistic. Stein says he credits his own quick rescue to fair attendees Sherry Baker – who was showing cattle – and retired nurse, Sue McConnell. “They both came over and kept me sane, conscious and talking until EMS got there.” “They pried the eye open; I could see light, I could see colour. They’re very optimistic that the trauma will heal. If it comes down to it and I have to wear glasses to see, I would consider that pretty minor.” Stein refused a trip to Kingston General Hospital for treatment, instead insisting he be take to nearby Belleville General Hospital instead. He spoke for this interview from his home. Though many are hailing Stein a hero for his bravery and quickthinking, the man of the hour says that he politely disagrees. “I’m not a hero. The real heroes are the men and women in our Canadian Forces, the men and women of our police forces, and the men and women of our emergency services.” When asked if he would reconsider his actions if he had the chance, Stein had this to say: “I was asked, would I do it again? The answer is that I’d do it again in a heartbeat.” The family of the three-year-old could not be reached for comment,

Pride Parade and Pride in the Park returns Saturday
Pride Week in Belleville is underway and activities culminate on Saturday, July 23 with the Pride Parade and the Pride in the Park Festival. Belleville Pride Week has quickly become one of Hastings and Prince Edward counties’ most colourful and dynamic summer events, its organizers say. The events are an opportunity to celebrate the LGBTQ2s (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transitioning, questioning, twospirited) community. Due to construction in downtown Belleville, there’s a new parade route this year.
Parade participants will meet at 11 a.m. on Saturday at the Belleville Fairgrounds (at the corner of Bridge and Sidney Streets.) The parade will travel south on Sidney and then east on Dundas, before it turns south on Bay Bridge Road and into West Zwick’s Island Park, for Pride in the Park, running from 12 noon to 4 p.m. Pride festivities end with an event called Pump on Saturday night. It will feature a great evening of cocktails, dancing and a superb drag show. The event takes place at the Belle Pub at 310 Front St., start-
ing at 9 p.m. Tickets are $15 at the door and $10 for students. It’s described as a “no labels, all abilities 18 + event.” For more details on Belleville Pride visit www.bellevillepride.ca
Stacey Love-Jolicouer leads participants in Belleville’s Pride Parade out of Empire Square and towards West Zwick’s Island for the Pride in the Park event last year. The parade returns on Saturday, July 23 but will leave from the fairgrounds this year. Photo by Stephen Petrick

MPP Todd Smith to seek re-election in new Bay of Quinte riding Bloomfield – Conservative MPP Todd Smith will seek re-election in the new Bay of Quinte riding. Smith, currently in his second term as the Member of Provincial Parliament for the Prince-Edward Hastings riding, made the announcement at a gathering of local Progressive Conservative Party members at Terra Cello Winery in Bloomfield on July 14. The Prince Edward-Hastings riding is being eliminated for the next provincial election in 2018. By then, provincial riding boundaries in the area will be the same as federal riding boundaries. A new riding of Bay of Quinte – which will cover Belleville, Quinte West and Prince Edward County – will be created. Hastings County residents, north of
Highway 401 will be part of a new Hastings-Lennox & Addington riding. This meant Smith had a decision to make. “This decision was a tough one,” Smith said in a statement. “The last five years representing Hastings and Prince Edward counties has given me a sense of appreciation for every community and each constituent I met. The closer I got to this decision, the less I wanted to make it.” Smith, a resident of Quinte West, added, “part of my decision making was the many people in the area who have urged me to run in Bay of Quinte in 2018. I spend a lot of time in the Trenton-area and have many good friends who live and work in Quinte West. I’ve been engaged in the ongoing issues with Tren-
ton Memorial Hospital and have great relationships with officials and staff at the region’s largest employer, CFB Trenton.” Smith joked one of his most difficult political decisions to come will occur on Friday nights when he has to choose between wearing his Wellington Dukes jersey or sport his Trenton Golden Hawks sweater. As an Opposition MPP, Smith has been assisting residents concerned with Liberal decision-making over the past two years but he said his main priority is to continue to be a strong voice for Prince Edward-Hastings in the Ontario Legislature up until the next election. Meanwhile, Progressive Conservative Party members in Hastings-Lennox & Addington are expected to hold an open nomination in the near future to decide who will carry the party banner for them in the next provincial election. “I look forward to seeing the next generation of leadership that HastingsLennox & Addington decides to nominate for 2018. This is an opportunity for new voices to come to the table and help change the future of our province.” Smith concluded.

Level 2 low water status confirmed
Near drought-like conditions have made it official – the status of water levels in the region is dire. After several weeks of cautions about low water levels, Quinte Conservation officials have proclaimed a Level 2 notice, the middle of three stages, for low water level concerns and one more serious level up from the previous level warning. Low water conditions are ranked as Level 1, 2 or 3 based on a prolonged period of low flows or precipitation. A Level 1 is the least severe and Level 3 is the most severe. As a result, Quinte Conservation is calling for a 20 per cent reduction in all unnecessary water usage such as lawn watering and washing of driveways and sidewalks, with a special warning to well users to be extra cautious. The authority first announced a low water problem early in June as lower flow levels in local rivers and normal rainfall amounts had been observed. The Level 2 status was issued earlier this month when Christine McClure, Water Resources Manager for Quinte Conservation, repeated a 50-per cent reduction in normal rainfall for the past three months, sharply reduced flow levels in the Moira, Salmon and Napanee Rivers and noticeable lower levels in area waters.

Quinte CA brings wildlife to youngsters By Jack Evans From reptiles to water creatures to falcons, Quinte Conservation is trying to whet young people’s interest in and knowledge of local flora and fauna in a project called ‘Wild About Wildlife,” coming to Belleville, Wellington, Madoc and Napanee over the next while.
The first such event by conservation authority education staff will be at Wellington on Wednesday, Aug. 3, followed by Belleville, at Riverside Park, on Thursday, Aug. 4, then Napanee on Aug. 5 and finally Madoc on Aug. 7. The program will be the same at each of the sessions, starting with a lesson on how to make a paper pot and bring home a wildflower for bees and but-
terflies. Kids can also meet live falcons and learn about raptors, (birds of prey) and wade in rivers and streams for water bugs and creek critters. “Learn about your watershed” with the local watershed’s model follows with “invasive species that live in our area,” and “create art in nature as a craft,” and finally live interactive display with the Ontario Reptiles-at-Risk
agency. Sponsored by Union Gas and Biodiversity Education and Awareness Network, the program is offered at no charge to participants, but the authority asks that every child be accompanied by an adult. The program runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at each of the four locations. Maya Navrot, conservation education
co-ordinator, says, ”We are expecting a great turnout for this year’s Wildlife Days. These are great opportunities for families to get outdoors and learn about our natural surroundings, explore their environment and learn about fascinating creatures through hands-on interactive activities.” For more information, visit www. quinteconservation.ca.

everything black and white. Of course, not everything is black and white or even brown and green. There is plenty of room for negotiations in this regard. In my sister’s case, it is reasonable to assume that the quality and content of the grounds was an important factor in the purchaser’s decision. (I should also point out that brother-in-law is a dab hand at construction and the interior is a dream.) The garden should stay. So how does she take it with her? Cuttings and divisions is one way to get the smaller items. The larger items, shrubs and trees, which are planted into the ground (or permanent raised beds) stay unless specifically.... That rose bush goes because it will be replaced
with a similar rose bush of similar size thus maintaining the integrity of the garden. There will be a chat between outgoing and incoming homeowners to make sure this agreed upon. The absolutely spectacular globe blue spruce standard, which is relatively easy to transplant despite its apparent size- 5’ by 5’ on a 3’ stemhas to stay. In anticipation of the move, sister and brother-in-law have been to the nursery to pick out new plants. Those are currently in their backyard, in their original pots with the price tags still on them. It is very clear that these plants are not part of the current grounds. No question: they go with the furniture when the big truck shows up. GR, if you’re unsure, put it in writing.

TRAVEL
A Summertime visit to Grand County, Colorado By John M. Smith
On a past visit to Colorado, I not only enjoyed exploring Rocky Mountain National Park, which I’ve already written about, but I also found myself emerging from the park’s west side, at Grand Lake, and then exploring Grand County. I soon discovered that Grand County was rather aptly named, for it’s indeed a large, intriguing, grand area that offers a great variety of places to stay and things to do for the entire family. I discovered that the touristy town of Grand Lake, located next to the western entrance to the park, is itself a very picturesque lakeside destina-

tion, with a nice beach, hotels, shops, restaurants, and a vibrant theatre (the Rocky Mountain Repertory Theatre). There’s also a rather enchanting tour of the lake, Colorado’s largest natural lake, available via a one hour cruise, and I, of course, decided to do that. I passed several impressive lakeside homes, including a boathouse with a party room built above it, with accompanying traffic lights: green for “come join the party” and red for “stop/ leave”. The most popular destination in Grand County, however, would probably be Winter Park, with its Winter Park Resort, for it offers a plethora of activities for all family members, including a challenging 18-hole putting course, a climbing wall, GyroXtreme (a Leaps & Bounds Bungee), Colorado’s longest alpine slide (which I just had to try!), and many miles of hiking and downhill mountain biking trails (after all, it’s often referred to as “The Mountain Biking Capital of the U.S.A.” , and it’s home to the nation’s premier bike park, Trestle Bike Park). I decided to use Winter Park ReNEW sort as my base for ! my county exploration, for it offers a great variety of

accommodations, and the village has plenty of restaurants and shops right there. I stayed in a condo at the base of the Zephyr Express, the ski lift that leads to the mountain activities, and it was particularly fascinating to watch the mountain bikes being placed on one ski lift chair, with the mountain bikers themselves just behind in the next, and then they’d be taken to the top before deciding on which particular trail to take to plummet back down! I also enjoyed going up the Zephyr Express myself and then photographing these daredevils on their descents. After all, I’ve been known to have done some mountain biking myself, and I was out here a few years ago to cover what’s now known as the “Colorado Freeride Festival”, a huge BMX event. I decided to take a drive to explore much more of the county, and I’d recommend taking an incredible loop tour of a large section of this county by using both Highway 40 and the Colorado River Headwaters National Scenic Byway between Kremmling and Granby. This latter road is gravel, and meant to be driven at a much slower, more relaxed pace, but it offers some incredible vistas, particularly in Byers Canyon, where I watched a train traversing the rugged landscape (yet another enticing way to explore this region). While on this loop tour, I also stopped at the Bar Lazy J Ranch near Parshall, a popular guest ranch that offers all-inclusive weekly packages, including meals, fishing, hiking, and horseback riding. I was told about one particular lady who came here on vacation from Toronto a few years ago, and she has returned every year since. Another must-stop on this loop is

used them for their horses and dogs, too! This facility now offers lodging, if you wish, along with a relaxing soak in its therapeutic hot mineral springs. Grand County also offers whitewater rafting opportunities (on the thrilling Colorado River), hot air balloon tours (www.grandadventureballoon.com), a summer tubing hill at Snow Mountain Ranch, zip-lining at the luxurious Devil’s Thumb Ranch & Spa, several rodeos, and four golf courses (the high altitude even makes for longer drives!). Indeed, Colorado’s Grand County certainly offers a great variety of activities, accommodations, and places to see – and there’s Rocky Mountain National Park right there, too.

at Hot Sulphur Springs, for I found a wonderful museum here, the Pioneer Village Museum, and it provided me with a lot of the history of the area. I also toured the original county courthouse, an old jail, and a blacksmith shop (with its sod roof). Furthermore, I learned about the beginnings of the ski industry in this area, and I checked out the museum’s very informative skiing display, too. While in Hot Sulphur Springs, I also visited the Hot Sulphur Springs Resort and Spa, for here I found a series of hot springs and pools, of varying temperatures and sizes, and they’ve been in continuous operation here for well over a hundred years. In fact, I learned that the Ute Indians used to heal mind, body, and spirit by relaxing in these sacred waters – and they also

Quinte West Sports Wall of Fame inducts 40 new members By Erin Stewart Trenton – More than 300 people celebrated Quinte West Sports Wall of Fame’s 8th Annual Induction Ceremony at the Quinte West YMCA on Saturday, July 9. This year the Quinte West Sports Wall of Fame committee inducted 11 athletes, 28 builders - members of the community who have contributed an outstanding effort to direct athletes in a leadership position - and one team was also inducted. “The experience was amazing, it was great, it really was,” said inductee Jake Ridder. Ridder was inducted as a builder for his outstanding contribution to hockey in Quinte West over the past 40 years and also his efforts with the Trenton Curling Club. He has coached hundreds of young hockey players of all ages in Trenton and hopes to continue coaching next season. In 2011, Ridder was named convenor and coach of Trenton Curling Club’s Junior Rocks program and he received the club’s outstanding member of the year award in 2010-2011. Ridder said it was special seeing his photo up on the Quinte West Sports Wall of Fame at the YMCA. “That kind of blows me away,” he said. “I’m in awe of that, that they would consider me worthy of that, it’s great.” Sue Korver was also inducted to the sports wall of fame as a builder. Korver was always stepping up to the plate to take on leadership roles when she was needed, starting with minor softball in 1990, fundraising for the Frank-
ford & District Minor Hockey and managing the canteen in Frankford for minor hockey. “I just kept rolling along and I enjoyed every minute of it, it’s for the kids, it’s always for the kids,” said Korver. “If I thought I could do a good job I volunteered, if I didn’t think I could do the job I stepped back and talked somebody else into taking the position.” Korver was president of the Eastern Ontario Minor Hockey League from 2005-2011, acquired the trainers certificate to assist during hockey games on the bench and she also became involved in the Marmora Snofest and dog sled races. She said she was thrilled to be inducted at this year’s ceremony. “It was nice to see my face up on the wall and I hope that lots of people will see it and go ‘Oh, well if she can do it I can do it,’” said Korver. “I was pleased that people thought I had done enough because there’s always a little inkling of doubt.” This year’s championship team inductee was the Diverscare Grandmasters Provincial Championship 2015 Trenton Curling Club. Bill Huffman, member of the Quinte West Sports Wall of Fame Committee, said they have now expanded onto a third wall at the YMCA with a total of 77 athletes, 151 builders and 73 teams now inducted into the sports wall of fame, along the perimeter of the gymnasium. Huffman said he spent more than six months researching athletes from the 1940’s, 1950’s and early 1960’s for this year’s induction ceremony because he kept finding new infor-

mation and additional athletes while looking through old newspaper articles. “It’s rewarding when you see it on the wall,” he said. “It’s rewarding when someone comes over and just says thank you and then you
know it’s all worth while.” Huffman said the committee thought the ceremony was an outstanding success with positive feedback and he’s already started on researching inductees for next year.

Writer and teacher shares his life at Ah! Poetry series By Sue Dickens Warkworth – Gary Walters came to Hastings with his partner Peter after living in Montreal and Uxbridge. He brought with him his talents as an artist, writer and teacher to appear at Ah! Arts and Heritage Centre in Warkworth as part of their poetry series. The event, called Gary Walters, An Illustrated Reading, will take place Sunday, July 24, at 2 p.m. at the Centre, located at 33 Church St. Walters will read excerpts from his books “Fuentes” and the “Shock of Parting”. In 2001, Walters and his partner bought an old farmhouse in Hastings. There was a studio and, in the ensuing years, Walters created a lot of art and published quite a few books of poetry. An artist who has his BFA, MFA and Ph.D from Princeton University, he did his doctorate in art and archeology. He taught at McGill, Concordia and Carleton universities and was a visiting professor at the
Institute for Fine Arts in Denpassar, Bali, Indonesia. The couple made yearly visits to Southeast Asia, eventually abandoning their jobs in 1972 to travel for a year. This trip, much of which was spent in India, they described as “transformative”. In 2013, Peter broke his hip in a fall in Bangkok, and this drastically worsened his advancing Lewy Body disease, a type of dementia. He has been in long-term care in Cobourg since their return from Thailand. Much of Walters’s recent writing and art has been about how this has resulted in a drastic change in their lives. Art, travel, dementia, love and grief are all part of his reading. Poet, writer and teacher Gary Walters of Hastings will be sharing his life experiences through readings from his books “Fuentes” and the “Shock of Parting.” The event is called Gary Walters, An Illustrated Reading and it will take place Sunday, July 24, at 2 p.m. at the Ah! Arts and Heritage Centre in Warkworth. Photo submitted

Dirt hits the Old Church in Quinte West A church may be the perfect place to experience an acclaimed, edgy, darkly comic, meditation on betrayal and mortality. Almost. Perfect if the church was now a licensed venue, a beautiful performance space, and the play was ‘Handful of Dirt,’ a piece the Ottawa Citizen called a ‘Bright light of the Fringe’. Well, you’re in luck. Written and directed by, now local, award-winning writer Konrad Doerrbecker, ‘Handful of Dirt’ is being revived, updated and presented at Trenton’s own Old Church Theatre, home of the Roy Bonisteel Studio, from July 28 - 30. It features Richard Turtle, Matt Sheahan, Brian Weston, Mihal Zada, Jeff Durish, Victoria Farrell and Francine Bouma as friends, relatives and acquaintances of an ordinary middle aged man who has just died in a, seemingly ordinary way. A collage of stark imagery, black humour, surprising plot twists and innovative staging, the play takes the audience on an emotional and thought provoking ride. “Hopefully”, Doerrbecker says, “the audience will laugh, cry, gasp and then have a great conversation on the way home.” Doerrbecker says that the play was inspired by the classic ’50s Japanese film Rashamon, where the same story is told by the different people involved. “It’s a complicated puzzle portrait of a man that reveals itself speech by speech, mask by mask and relationship by relationship,” Doerrbecker says. Dramatic and stark, grainy black and white images provide the background and comment on the story as it develops. Producer Lesley Bonisteel says it’s the type of play she wants to present. “We want to develop a reputation for new edgy innovative theatre pieces here,” Bonisteel says. “It’s the start of a new series we plan to roll out over the next while”. Handful of Dirt starts Thursday, July 28 and continues through to Saturday, July 30 at 940 Bonisteel Rd. All shows are at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at oldchurch.ca or phone A play called A Handful of Dirt features a collage of stark imagery, black humour, surprising plot twists and innovative staging.
