The smiles under sail say it all for inclusion sailors By Sarah Hyatt
Gosport – Memories were made out on the bay last week in Gosport. For a ninth year, the Presqu’ile Yacht Club (PYC), with Community Living Campbellford/Brighton, invited people with intellectual disabilities to set sail on the bay, for the club’s annual sail day event, on Thursday, Aug. 18. “To see the joy on their faces while we’re out on the water – it’s so worth it,” said sail day organizer, Fred Wardle. Franklin Carwardine, one of this year’s 30 Community Living sail participants for the day, couldn’t wait to get on a boat Thursday. He loves boats, he says, and was smiling ear-to-ear as he made his way to board the vessel. He’d prefer to drive the boat; he chuckled, but a tour on the bay on a sunny afternoon was a pretty good second. The event continues to grow in popularity, Wardle noted, and each year, it seems to get bigger and bigger. With 30 guests this year, Wardle was scrambling for vessels and captains, he joked. Numbers are up from last year. Wardle was preparing captains initially to possibly make two trips for the sail day. The whole idea behind the day is to promote inclusion within the community and area and also active living, Wardle (Right-to-left) Franklin Carwardine and Ben Edwards, student support staff for Community Living, prepare to head out for Community Living Sail Day, explained.

hope and goal, Wardle continued. Wilkinson started the sail day initiative and is a former member of the PYC. He also sat on the board for Community Living for years. “Although retired, he still comes out for this day every year,” said Wardle. After taking over for Wilkinson, the organizer says he too has become very passionate about the cause and event. “It’s just an all-around fun day for everyone,” said Wardle. “I think everyone gains a little something from it. I hope they do anyways. I know the club members certainly do – I do.” Commodore for the club, Tom Willison, likes to squeeze in a few pretend races here and there and provoke a few smiles out on the bay. The club followed the hour-long sail up Thursday with a hot dog lunch on the clubhouse deck. Executive director for Community Living, Nancy Brown, says it’s not every day just anyone gets this sort of experience. For her, it was a unique experience, she noted. For participants to have this opportunity to be involved with club members this way and to have them share their passion for sailing, it’s pretty special, she said. At the same time, participants are able to meet other people and socialize in a different capacity. “It’s just amazing,” said Brown. “We’re very grateful for this friendship and the opportunity.”

Purse stolen after being distracted by man dropping money on ground Brighton – Cramahe Township –Trent Hills – A woman had her purse stolen as she sat at a table outside a restaurant in Colborne Aug. 15. It was one of 208 incidents Northumberland OPP dealt with over a four-day period (Aug. 1518). Police said the victim, a visitor from Philippines, reported her purse was stolen shortly before 1 p.m. when she was distracted by one of two males seated at an outdoor table behind her at the Big Apple. He dropped money on the ground which drew her attention. The other male grabbed her purse and ran to a four-door beige car being driven by a third male. The first two men were described as being dark-skinned, in their 30s, and wearing Tommy Hilfiger shirts. ● There was a report of gunshots being heard in the area of Whites Road in Brighton shortly before 10 p.m. Officers were unable to locate the source of the noise. ● A Colborne-area business owner was arrested Aug. 16 on the strength of a committal warrant for provincial offence convictions involving obstruction of a health inspector and failing to comply with a provincial probation order. He was taken directly to jail to serve a period of custody imposed by the Cobourg Provincial Offences Court. ● A Mississauga youth called 911 to complain that her parents had forced her to go with them on vacation to a rental cottage in Trent Hills. She was cautioned about misusing the emergency number. ● A Colborne-area grandmother accidentally dialed 911 while having a conversation with her grandson on how the emergency line works. Officers responded and
ensured there was no emergency. ● Police received a complaint about an intoxicated man stumbling around in a parking lot on Grand Road in Campbellford. A 30-yearold Trent Hills man was arrested, charged and held until sober. ● An 18-year-old Toronto resident had his driver’s licence suspended for seven days after he was measured travelling 186 km/h on Highway 401 in the Brighton area Aug. 17. Northumberland OPP said he told the officer he was in a hurry to see his girlfriend in Montreal. His 2014 Lexus was also impounded for a week. ● Warkworth Golf Club reported a break-in at its maintenance shop sometime overnight. A laptop, tools and an expensive driver were taken. ● The Municipality of Brighton reported its “honesty box” at the municipal boat launch was damaged and money taken from it sometime overnight. ● A 1998 Peterbilt crane truck that had been stolen in the Toronto area was recovered on Centennial Lane in Trent Hills. Kyle Dishington, 41, from Toronto, was charged with theft of a motor vehicle, possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, and driving while disqualified. ● A Brighton resident was charged for being intoxicated in a public place after police responded to a report of a man screaming in downtown Brighton Aug. 18. He was held until sober. ● Warkworth Institution reported finding drugs on an inmate. Northumberland OPP officers also investigated six motor vehicle collisions and 42 traffic-related complaints, and conducted three RIDE programs during the fourday period.

Council talks doctors, water bylaw and park expansion By Sarah Hyatt
promotional materials. The consensus is, initially the committee will meet more frequently, as its getting started. The committee was slated to meet again on Aug. 24. Once rolling, the idea is for members to meet monthly or every two months. There are currently 10 physicians within the BQWFHT – four of whom work at the Brighton location. The goal is to recruit four-to-five full-time doctors. In developing its recruitment plan and incentives package, the committee will be exploring nearby municipalities and similar programming. In other council news: A 17-year-old Kingston native, who’s been travelling the province made her way to Brighton’s council chambers recently. Robyn Hamlyn has been trekking across the province for four years, all with the hopes of “saving our water.� She’s been encouraging municipalities to sign on as “Blue Communities� in an effort to save fresh water. To become a Blue Community, Robyn asked council to consider passing three resolutions. The first being, the municipality bans the sale of bottled water at public facilities and municipal events. She also asked Brighton recognize water as a human right and that the town promote publicly owned and operated water, wastewater sanitation services. The teenager, who’s visited 29 councils to date, says she’s on a mission to make a difference. Her plan is to work her way up to present to the prime minister and her dream is to have every town and city, a Blue Community. Deputy Mayor Brian Ostrander commended the young lady for her “infectious� attitude, after her presentation to council, where she
Brighton – Physician recruitment is moving forward within the municipality, local residents heard at a recent council meeting. On Aug. 15, council approved a $10,000 operating budget for the newly formed physician recruitment and retention committee for the remainder of 2016. In addition, council agreed to commit to looking at an incentives package during budget deliberations next year. Council has also asked staff to put together a report, outlining potential avenues and options to address “space issuesâ€? for potential doctors within the municipality, while the committee plunges ahead with recruitment efforts. There’s essentially next-to-no space left to house another physician with the Brighton-Quinte West Family Health Team (BQWFHT). Given budget deliberations are some time away, it was noted, council may be able to look at the previously $100,000 budgeted for 2016, for recruitment efforts in a time of need. The physician recruitment committee met for its first meeting on Aug. 3, where both Wendy Parker, from the BQWFHT and CAO Bill Watson were in attendance. Introductions were made and Bob Canuel was nominated and acclaimed as chairman. Krista Sullivan has volunteered to serve as vicechairwoman. In the minutes approved by council on Aug. 15, it states Watson reported, he had been in contact with recruitment agencies for physicians. “Only one had experience in recruitment of doctors and charged a substantial fee before they began the process.â€? Committee members have decided to lead the charge themselves, rather than use a consultant, as a result. In the absence of a recruiting agency, members are slated to participate in job fairs for physicians “on a needs basis,â€? with members to be determined. There were no suggestions made for changes for the committee’s terms of reference. The $10,000 operating budget is to help the DRS.

Applefest: Colourful country festival back bigger and better Tickets are available via bigticketsmalltown.com and at Rock Paper Scissors. “We have lots of local clubs and organizations putting on events throughout the weekend too,” said Waterhouse. Arts and craft shows, the Kin Club’s pancake breakfast, and the Proctor House Museum will host its apple pie contest, for examples. For more detailed information and to see what local organizations like the Arts Club, Brighton Legion, Proctor House Museum, Brighton Barn Theatre, the Speedway, or Memory Junction have going on, start at brightonapplefest.ca. Waterhouse encourages people to check the website as well, closer to the festival for updated information. “The event just continues to grow every year,” says Waterhouse. “As different community groups and clubs come forth with different ideas, it continues to expand. So it really is a true reflection of what Brighton has to offer.” Somewhere around 15,000 people are expected to flood the streets of Brighton this year for the festival. With that said, the chairwoman reminds Brightonians the festival is to be a dog-free event, due to safety reasons and crowded streets. “Main Street will be full – as always, with something for everyone,” said Waterhouse. Back in 1974, the street fair began
with just six-to-eight booths, which mainly featured food items. This year’s street fair is set to feature more than 150 vendors, with products and goodies ranging from foods, clothing, jewelry, crafts, ciders and homemade baked goods. There will be both new vendors and returnees. And don’t forget about the AppleFest Parade slated for Sept. 24, in your celebrations of Brighton’s bountiful apple harvest.

Brighton – It’s just about that time of year again – time for everything appleinspired. Brighton’s 42nd annual AppleFest is returning on Sept. 22-25. With a sky view over Presqu’ile and Brighton, to big, strong men, the return of the Lions Club Children’s Village and Cold Creek County hitting the stage, Christine Waterhouse, chairwoman of the AppleFest committee says this year’s colourful country festival is back bigger and better. The Main Street is officially full for vendors for the street fair, promising lots of tasty treats and apple-inspired goodies, and the committee has been working tirelessly to bring back some favourites for the festival. The Lions Club Children’s Village is one of those favourites. “It’s going to be a full-out day of events,” says Waterhouse. With Dan the Music Man, a Blades of Glory show, Jungle Cat World, magicians and all-day extreme rushrock climbing, several inflatable castles, a petting zoo, laser tag and more – family fun will be in abundance, said Waterhouse. “Essential helicopters” is returning, weather permitting and will run all weekend long, offering people the chance to catch a glimpse of Brighton and Presqu’ile from above. The AppleFest Kings of Strength,
hosted by pro-strongman Ben Ruckstuhl and with local prostrongman Joe DeWitt challenging some of the toughest athletes from both Canada and the world, this promises to be an exciting show, says Waterhouse. “It’s suppose to be huge this year,” the chairwoman added. Festival-goers will also have the chance to travel back in time, while visiting the Brighton Car and Antique Tractor Show, at Brighton Public School. A 50s and 60s Rock N’ Roll dance party on Saturday, Sept. 24, will feature hits of the legends from the era, with Brighton’s Ian Roy performing. Attendees are encouraged to dig out their poodle skirts, saddle shoes and vintage T-shirts. Live music downtown at Memorial Park, the Mayor’s Lighthouse Bike Ride and, the dog agility show, which is a “not-to-miss event,” are also a part of the weekend lineup. “We’re also really excited to have and promote Cold Creek County this year,” said Waterhouse. “These are our local guys.” Cold Creek County is the feature act for the “Big Ticket Small Town” concert for this year’s AppleFest. The show starts at 7 p.m., on Sept. 24, with special guests Marc Ekins and the Dean James Band, at the King Edward Park Arena. The concert is a fundraiser for the Brighton and District Minor Hockey Association.

Brighton’s Own Low Water Condition holds steady artists honour at Level 2 despite recent rainfall These Mother Earth with
By John Campbell
Northumberland County – A Level 2 Low Water Condition remains in effect across the Lower Trent Conservation watershed despite rain the past week that helped push total precipitation for August to slightly above the average for the month. “That’s great,” LTC communications and outreach coordinator Marilyn Bucholtz said Aug. 22, but the watershed, which stretches from Grafton to Quinte West and from Lake Ontario to Rice Lake, has had “four months of well below normal precipitation,” so residents, businesses, industries and municipalities are still being asked to voluntarily reduce their water consumption by 20 per cent. Precipitation amounts recorded at Environment Canada’s Trenton station show May was the driest month of the four, with 24 mm of rain – 30 per cent of its historical average. April was 45 per cent of normal at 35 mm, June 62 per cent (48 mm) and July 47 per cent (33 mm). “Above normal precipitation will be required over the next few months to
restore groundwater levels and stream flows to normal conditions,” Janet Noyes, LTC’s manager of watershed science and services said in a news release Aug. 17. Bucholtz said the area typically gets more rain in September, 90 mm on average, but the long-term outlook the LTC has been given by a provincial meteorologist is that conditions from now into the fall will “be somewhat similar to ... [what] we’ve been having through most of the summer.” It’s “a very general trend,” she said. “We’ll have to wait and see [if it continues].” Bucholtz said the conservation authority had been “very close to considering” moving to a Level 3 Low Water Condition in mid-August – which it has never done before – because it was so dry at the time but increased precipitation forestalled that move. If it had done so, the Lower Trent’s Water Response Team would have proposed that restrictions on water consumption be implemented regionally. The last time Lower Trent identified a Level 2 Low Water Level Condition was in 2012, but this year it did
so more quickly, July 4, compared to Aug. 30 four years ago. Quinte Conservation Authority went to a Level 3 at the beginning of August but its geography is different, Bucholtz said. Much of the Lower Trent benefits from having creeks “coming out of the Oak Ridges Moraine ... [which] has a huge storage of water deep in its aquifers.” Canadians “probably need to take [their] water a little bit more serious” in how they use the resource, she said. “While we have an abundance of water now, 50 years down the road who knows? California was in that same situation way back, when they started to create these huge reservoirs to help meet their domestic needs for water,” she said. “At the time they thought they had lots of water and they’re now dealing with some very serious water shortage issues in that state.” “We’re pretty complacent ... because we have water all around us but that’s not to say those supplies aren’t going to be compromised in the future,” she continued. “It’s in all our best interests to think about how we use water and both protect it from a quality point of view but quantity as well.”

We can all agree that working in a vocation that you love is a godsend. And settling down with a spouse who shares a similar profession, makes living that much more wonderful. Add to that the freedom of running your own home-style business and some may say that Monica Johnson and Paulus Tjiang have achieved a trifecta. They first met during a pottery class in a Toronto clay studio. Soon, after sharing studio space, they came together to share a life In 1989, a yearning for (literally) greener pastures drew them to settle in Codrington. By then, she was an established potter, and he specialized in glass blowing. Their new studio home also allowed them to be tucked in between Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa where they delivered many of their commissioned works. The story behind their name - Frantic Farms Clay & Glass & Gallery - bespeaks the considerable energy that they poured into their business and family at the outset: “The term frantic described our state of being at the time,” says a smiling Johnson. “We were always getting ready for shows plus working on commissioned art while raising two little kids, a dog, a bunch of chickens and four cats, all from home. On any given day, early in the morning or late at night, we would get a knock on the door. Someone would be looking for something for their wife’s birthday in the eleventh hour. Or we would get a visit on Christmas Eve by someone (similarly late in the

game.)” So, the couple’s last minute running around evolved the name Frantic. “Still, looking back at it all,” Johnson says, “We were both home for the kids. That’s a good thing.” In 2004, with the children grown up, the chickens gone and down to one “slowed down” cat, the artists bought a building in Warkworth and moved Frantic Farms Clay & Glass & Gallery to 2 Mill Street. There, they display their works of handmade pottery and blown glass, in addition to that of many renowned artists in jewelry, folk art metal and turned wood. Johnson also gives regular classes in pottery. She loves the county’s sense of “strong and vibrant community.” Johnson says, “I love the tactile quality of clay, and creating in three dimensions. I want to honour where we live and what we are using. We make things from the earth. Glass is essentially sand and minerals, and pottery material is literally from the ground. Paulus and I put a lot of heart and soul into our art pieces. A part of us lives on with clients who appreciate our work.” In 2010, the couple took over the Kara Mia bakery next door where Johnson made pies and tarts using local county produce. Having found the “right” buyers, they sold the bakery a few weeks ago, leaving it on good hands. Oh, and another thing the artistic couple has in common: They both love to cook. What do you call having four things in common? I wonder.

OPINION
Duterte and the UN
Rodrigo Duterte, the new president of the Philippines, gives good copy. Here’s a quote from his final election rally: “Forget the laws on human rights. If I make it to the presidential palace, I will do just what I did as mayor. You drug Gwynne Dyer pushers, hold-up men and do-nothings, you better go out. Because I’d kill you. I’ll dump all of you into Manila Bay, and fatten all the fish there.” And here’s another, from last Sunday, after United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and the UN’s Office on Drugs and Crime condemned Mr. Duterte’s “apparent endorsement of extrajudicial killings.” “I do not want to insult you,” Duterte said. (He only called them “stupid”.) “But maybe we’ll just have to decide to separate from the United Nations. If you are that rude, we might just as well leave. So take us out of your organisation. You have done nothing. Never. Except to criticise.” What upset Ban Ki-moon and the UNDOC is the fact that Duterte is having people murdered. Since he took office three months ago, some 900 “suspected drug-dealers” have been shot dead by police and civilian vigilantes acting in his name. None was found guilty by a court, and some, of course, were completely innocent. Duterte is not denying it or apologising. Before he leaves office, he says, he’ll just give himself an amnesty: “Pardon given to Rodrigo Duterte for the crime of multiple murder, signed Rodrigo Duterte.” “The Punisher”, as he was known when he was mayor of Davao, is very serious about his “war on drugs”: he recently said he would kill his own children if they took drugs. But crime is not the Philippines’ biggest problem, and it’s not clear what else he is serious about. But he does have a plan of sorts for what to do after he walks out of the United Nations. He says he may ask China and African countries to walk out too and form a rival organisation. He doesn’t know much about China or Africa, so maybe he thinks they would like to get together and defy the parts of the world where governments believe that killing people is wrong.

“Duterte Harry” (another nickname) is very popular in the Philippines, but he is not really a threat to global order. The hundred million Filpinos will have to live with him for the next six years, but the United Nations is not doomed. In fact, it is doing better than most people give it credit for. One proof of this is the fact that the Secretary General now has the right to criticise a member government merely for killing its own citizens. That’s not what it was designed for. When it was created in 1945, as the catastrophe of the Second World War was ending, its main goal was to prevent any more wars like that. The founders tried to give it the appearance of a broader moral force by signing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, but that was mainly window-dressing. The UN was created by the great powers to prevent any government from launching another war of international aggression, not to make governments treat their own citizens better. In fact, each major power was effectively guaranteed the right to do whatever it wanted to its own citizens, so long as it did not attack the neighbours. In this, the new UN was just recognizing reality, for every great power was determined to preserve its own “sovereignty”. Even for smaller powers, the great powers could rarely agree on what kind of intervention was desirable, and who should do it. The UN has done well in its original task: it shares the credit with nuclear weapons for the fact that no great power has fought any other for the past 71 years. It has gradually moved into other areas like peace-keeping and promoting the rule of law in the world, but it never interferes inside the territory of the great powers. Even in smaller countries it almost never intervenes without the invitation of the local government. So when Duterte called the UN useless because “if you are really true to your mandate, you could have stopped all these wars and killings,” he was talking through his hat. Besides, he would never accept UN intervention in his own country to deal with an alleged crime wave. He’s just talking tough because he hates being criticised. It’s very unlikely that he will carry out his threat. The UN is the keystone in the structure of international law that, among many other things, deters China from settling its territorial dispute with the Philippines by force. Rodrigo Duterte is just a problem for the Philippines, not for the UN or the world.

Of Wheat Kings, Milgaard, Marmora and Gord Editorial - Chris Malette Late breaking story on the CBC, a nation whispers, “We always knew that he’d go free” they add, “you can’t be fond of living in the past, ‘cause if you are then there’s no way that you’re gonna last” Wheat kings and pretty things Let’s just see what tomorrow bring… By now, last Saturday’s epic performance of The Tragically Hip (Is it their last? They said it was their last!) is seared on the consciousness of Canadians between the ages of, oh, say 30 and 60. Like most, I would hazard, I wasn’t a rabid Hip fan, but I know a cultural phenomenon when I see one and appreciate a good song when I hear one, but there’s one Hip song that always brings back a flashback memory I’d just as soon forget. Many either only learned these past couple weeks or still aren’t aware that the iconic, haunting song ‘Wheat Kings’ is written for and about wrongfully convicted Manitoba native David Milgaard. There is a connection to here – Marmora and a Belleville courthouse – that always, always brings that song home for me and, as I said, I wished I could enjoy it for its melodic and lyrical brilliance. But I can’t. In an Aug. 19 piece on CBC’s website, cbcmusic.ca, reporter Jesse Kinos-Godin chronicled how Milgaard’s mother, Joyce, and sisters were moved by the song and The Hip’s deep interest in seeing justice for Milgaard after one of Milgaard’s sisters – who’d been lobbying for his conviction to be investigated – asked Hip frontman Gord Downie and his bandmates to listen to the evidence as to why their brother should go free. They agreed and the song was written when Milgaard was indeed let free from prison in April, 1992, after serving 23 years — 8,355 days — for a vile crime forensic evidence would later show was committed by a serial rapist right under the bumbling Saskatchewan cops’ noses. Milgaard was just 17 when he was wrongfully convicted of the rape and murder of nursing assistant Gail Miller in January, 1969. After Milgaard had been free for some months, he found himself in Ottawa for reasons I don’t recall, but it was long before he’d been given his compensation package of $10 million for his wrongful conviction and was taking a Greyhound bus from Ottawa to Toronto one fall day. The bus, as they did on the Highway 7 Toronto-
Ottawa run in 1992 and apparently still does, on occasion, stopped at the Mr. Convenience shop at the ‘four corners’ in Marmora. Out stumbled a tired Milgaard, buy accounts, who went into the store to get a snack or drink. While inside, he turned to see his bus pulling away – without him. Panic set in and he dashed through the store, stiff-arming a young boy out of his way and into a display of chips and candy in his haste to make it out the door and after the departing bus. Too late. The bus was back on the road and Milgaard was stranded, cursing and screaming in its wake. The bewildered store clerk called the police, Madoc OPP responding, taking Milgaard into custody for assault and causing a disturbance. Back in handcuffs, back in a cell. We either got a tip or heard it on the police scanner (memory fades here) in the newsroom in Belleville and were told there was a court appearance at about 4 or 5 p.m. Off I went with photographer Frank O’Connor. The Canadian Press was very keen on an update and a photo, as could be expected, as Milgaard was still big news months after his stunning release. Off to Belleville’s courthouse at ‘15 Vic’ we went and around the rear sally port door, after a very brief court appearance, police led Milgaard out to a waiting cruiser, still handcuffed behind his back. And it is that image, of an absolutely exhausted, shattered, confused and clearly hurting Milgaard that haunts me every time I hear Wheat Kings. Here’s a guy who was robbed of 23 years of the prime of his life, finally set free, unable, clearly, to deal yet with life on the outside and he’s back in some Podunk town in cuffs with a couple of local news hacks capturing the scene for all to see – again. It was all eventually resolved and the charges either withdrawn or reduced and it of course faded from most everyone’s memories. Except mine, likely Frank’s and I’m sure Milgaard’s memories. It was a sad, sad thing to happen, to see and to have to report on, I must say. It brought me no joy to see this man in handcuffs after such a sorry, silly incident. Turned out, it was just one of Milgaard’s many stumbles on the road to reclaiming his life. As for Gord and the Hip, they certainly captured the zeitgeist of a nation and know how to launch a haunting memory through song – one, I’m afraid on Wheat Kings, I’d rather forget.

History buffs keep stories from fading Brighton – They help preserve the past and that makes them forward-thinking. Because as Edmund Burke, the Irish statesman and political thinker, once observed: “Those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it.” Which can’t be good for progress, so Brighton should consider itself fortunate so many of its residents have made the effort to compile stories and produce accounts of the municipality’s rich history. Even the darker side as in Dan Buchanan’s Murder in the Family, about an ancestor’s
Events
killing of his young wife. Buchanan and other local history buffs – Florence Chatten, author of Brighton Township, and Susan Brose (The History of Brighton Business, 1816 to 2009) – gathered Aug. 20 at Lighthouse Books, to welcome a new entrant to a growing circle of citizen historians in the area. He’s Alex McNaught, whose book about the community where he was born and raised, A Place Called Wallbridge, was published earlier this year. “It turns out the little village has scads of history,” and few know about it, said McNaught, a retired teacher, who spent 12
years researching the book. For one thing, it’s the home of Ontario’s oldest municipal government, established in the 1790s. It’s also where a cheesemaker won international acclaim in the early 20th century, winning seven of nine gold medals at an exhibition in Europe. “The stories go on and on,” McNaught said. Growing in a household filled with books sparked Chatten’s interest in history and she’s had the good fortune to be around “a lot of people ... [who had] some really good stories,” which prompted her to write her book. “If you don’t understand history, GATES OPEN AT 5:30PM then you don’t understand what the RACING BEGINS AT 7:00PM future’s going to do,” UNLESS OTHERWISE Chatten said. As much as has INDICATED ON SCHEDULE been written about Brighton, Brose said “there’s still a lot of gaps to fill in,” which “we haven’t really $20.00 touched,” such as the boating industry that host the once existed here.

In the works is volume two of her history of Brighton businesses, to bring it to the present. “It takes all sorts of points of views” to make sense of the past, Buchanan said. Educating people about the past in an entertaining way helps them achieve “a better appreciation for what the community is” today, he said. They “feel more connected to the place” as well, which “helps with your peace of mind and how you view yourself in the world. I think that’s important. You don’t have to be a history geek like me to appreciate that.”
The retired computer consultant is devoting all his time now to writing a second book, about “the stagecoach king, William Weller,” who ran stagecoaches from Toronto to Montreal, from the 1830s to 1850s, until the railways put him out of business. Most municipalities have “interesting things” in their past that can be “brought out” with a lot of work and dedication, Buchanan said. The information is all there in documents. It takes someone who is willing to spend the time “and feels it is important ... to go in and not only read what’s there but interpret what’s there.”
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Déjà vu in council chambers Dear Editor Reading the front page of the August 20th edition of the Brighton Independent (“Council squabbles again”) I’m sure that many readers felt the same as me - didn’t we have three members of Council accusing the other four members of plotting to attack them by appointing an integrity commissioner back in 2014 under the previous Council? And didn’t Brighton elect a new Council to eliminate such unproductive squabbling? In recent months a majority of our new Council has recognized its early shortcomings and have had the courage to initiate important improvements including restoring a code of conduct and commissioning an independent evaluation of the CouncilStaff relationship. However it seems that three councillors don’t recognize that mistakes have been made and are set on bitterly opposing reform. This is highlighted by your front page report setting out the details of the discussion on appointing an integTICO#50007364

rity commissioner. It is clear that the three members don’t trust their colleagues to use the commissioner’s services responsibly and fail to recognize that it’s not all about them; the commissioner would also provide support to members of the public and staff, and more importantly could advise Council on how to avoid conflicts in the first place. Even more disturbing is that only one of the three dissenters has firsthand experience of the situation with the previous Council, and that two rookie councillors prefer to follow that lead rather than the two other members that sat on that Council and who vigorously support appointing a commissioner. The three dissenters need to recognize that they are no longer running for election, they need to work cooperatively with all their Council colleagues, and staff, to reach consensus and get the best results for taxpayers. They are not going to win every debate and digging their heels in and grandstanding doesn’t Dave Cutler, Brighton cut it.

Warkworth Long Lunch a sellout again By Sue Dickens Warkworth – A sold-out venue again, the Warkworth Long Lunch, was moved from the downtown to inside the local arena because of rain but that did not dampen the enthusiasm or turnout for this fundraising event. Organized by the Warkworth Business Association, all of the money raised goes back into the community for the revitalization of the downtown area. The crowds came early, but the many volunteers were able to keep the line moving quickly as people had their plates filled with barbecued beef or toupee ham, baked beans, corn on the cob from Glover’s Farm Market, rolls, coffee or tea and the famous homemade Warkworth pies. ‘”We added a salad this year for vegetarians and will look at next year to expand on that,” commented Perry Melzack, co-chair of the event. “I think a lot of people came at the early time,”
noted Nancy Honey, co-chair as she looked at the arena crowded with people. Last year about 85 per cent of those who came were first-timers. “About 10 per cent of the folks here are local,” Honey noted. Some came from as far away as Oshawa and Peterborough to fill their plates and support the fundraiser. The venue is so popular that other towns and cities are calling organizers to find out the secret of their success. “There are other communities trying to emulate what we do and they reach out to us asking what we do and how we do it … this, today, is 13 years in the making,” added Melzack. The volunteers are one of the main reasons the event succeeds. “The community is wonderful. We put the call out to volunteers and they just come.” About 30 volunteers are involved each year. Johanna Allen who was there with her triplets Janice Allen, of Warkworth, far end of the table, was at the Long Lunch with her five grandchildren: seated beside her, Avery Avery, Isabella and Quinn, perhaps said it best: Fraser, age 4; Blythe Crowley, age 3; Isabella Fraser; Hudson Crowley, age 6; Johanna Allen and her third triplet, Quinn Fraser.

More colour, creativity coming to Codrington farmers’ market By Sarah Hyatt
Digital Archives. “We hope the public takes a few minutes to drop in and say hello to the artists in the community,” added Stutt. The Artisans’ Market will run in conjunction with the farmers’ market, within the hours of 10 a.m., until 2 p.m., with artists housed inside the Codrington Community Centre. The Farmers’ Market vendors will energize the outdoors say organizers. Local artisans as an addition to the market just seemed like the next step or a sort of natural evolution, explained Stutt. The idea evolved with Liana Palmer, “the mayor of the market and a tireless volunteer,” and Dorothy Fletcher, who offers shoppers a market-inspired recipe weekly, who’ve been talking expansion. Weekly, the market features local musicians – so art is already a solid component, said Stutt. It didn’t take long afterwards, for the announcement of the inaugural Codrington Artisans’ Market. “Within two days, we had a full house, with a waiting list,” said Stutt. “There is a wealth of artistic talent in this area and the interest shown is indicative of a strong desire on behalf of artists to share their passion.” For artists, Stutt says this is an opportunity to be a part of a popular venue, while setting up their own village. Admission is free for the exhibition. “We hope this will be the first of many Codrington Artisan Markets,” said Stutt.
Codrington – Artists and farmers are uniting this weekend at the Codrington Farmers’ Market to put on a colourful show. For Sunday, Aug. 28, organizers of the market have invited area artists to join together and to create their own Artisans’ Market. “It’s more than an exhibition,” says organizer, Catherine Stutt. “It’s a chance to interact with the artisans, to learn about their techniques and inspiration, and hopefully a chance to purchase a locally-made unique original piece.” Over the course of the summer, there’s been all sorts of entertainment and happenings at the market. From family fun, to live music, dancing, and medieval shows – the market’s never been simply a place to buy great items. The vision has always been for the market to serve as true community hub. This weekend’s Artisans’ Market is sticking true with the idea to foster a sense of community for vendors and shoppers. “The Codrington Farmers’ Market has an enviable following and energy, says Stutt. “There is something very special about the gathering and that speaks volumes about the commitment of the organizers and vendors. It’s just an enjoyable destination, as both a source for local produce and Sunday social hour.” Organizers are anticipating an array of art to be showcased at this Sunday’s event – paintings, photography, woodworking, Barns jewelry, carvings, pottery, metalsmithing, Houses fabric and weaving arts and more. “Although we didn’t jury the entries, Cottages the result is a good cross-section of Buildings disciplines,” said Stutt. “We’re happy Decks to have local authors, including Dan Buchanan, who is as local as it gets – he Trucks was born in Codrington and Hilton’s Equipment Florence Chatten too.” A few stewards of natural heritage are also slated to be on hand, including 705.653.8910 cell | bstapley@bobmark.ca members from the Lone Pine Marsh Land Self-Contained • High Pressure • Hot Water • Steam Trust and volunteers from the Brighton

Request for Applewood Drive gate squashed by council By Sarah Hyatt Brighton – Council has denied a request to reinstate a gate on Applewood Drive, leaving area residents disheartened and frustrated after a recent meeting. On Aug. 15, Douglas Freeland, a resident of Stephen Street, appeared before council pleading with members and staff that the decision to remove the gate be reconsidered. Freeland was representing residents of Stephen Street, Applewood Drive and Catherine Court, he said. He came armed with a petition, with more than 100 signatures. He says about 98 per cent of area residents have signed the petition. A lack of sidewalks in the area, pedestrian safety, concerns over property value of homes, and a heavy traffic volume of trucks are the major issues, says Freeland. “We’ve already seen a lot of pickup trucks since the gate was removed recently,” he said. Residents concerns are, without the gate which has served sort of as a barrier between the industrial park and residential area, the neighbourhood will turn into a shortcut into the industrial complex, bringing about lots of noise too. “We were told by the developer about 20 years ago, the gate would never come down,” said Freeland. “Our roads are not designed for heavy traffic usage.” Freeland says just a few weeks ago, an 18-wheeler transport came down Stephen Street, to go into the industrial park, despite no exit and residential area signs. “The transport carried on through to the part of Applewood that was under construction,” he said. “There were pylons and a big sign stating the road was closed. The driver and someone else then moved the pylons and big sign – the truck continued on into the industrial park.” According to municipal staff, it’s unknown exactly when the gate was installed. “There’s no indication this was a council decision [to install the gate],
or this was properly dealt with through bylaw,” CAO Bill Watson reported to council on Aug. 15, while delivering his recommendation to deny the request to reinstate the gate. Watson suspects the gate was installed as a temporary measure when construction was ongoing in the industrial park, to prevent construction vehicles from entering the residential area. But the gate was never removed. “We recognize concerns of safety in terms of traffic,” said Watson. Staff has ordered no trucks signs to be installed on Applewood Drive, just south of Loyalist Drive, and on Stephen Street, just east of Prince Edward, with the hopes of helping remediate the situation. The issue is, Watson explained, Applewood Drive is a fully opened road allowance. In other words, the Highway Traffic Act and other legislation regarding public use of roadways are applicable. “As such, it cannot be blocked or gated,” says Watson. “Furthermore, this road is recorded in the public, registered as opened and all emergency services, maintenance and mapping providers record the road as open – having a gate across, blocking access could have safety and response time implications.” For council to reinstall the gate, it would have to go through the process of stopping up and closing a small portion of the road, where the gate would be. “This seems like a pretty extreme measure,” said Watson. In consultation with Brighton’s fire chief, Lloyd Hutchinson, Watson added, this is “not advisable from an emergency services point of view.” Staff has committed to monitoring traffic and truck volumes. Accessibility in the event of an emergency, with only one entry and exit presents concerns for staff, if the gate were reinstalled. Really, there should be a secondary entry and exit, for these emergencytype purposes or if a road was blocked and residents needed a way out, says Watson.
But not all of council was keen on the idea of denying local residents’ request. The decision to accept the CAO’s recommendation and deny residents’ request came down to a 4-3 vote. Councillor Steven Baker said he didn’t understand what all the “howling” was about. “The gate’s been there, for what, 12 to 15 years at least and there hasn’t been a problem,” he said. Baker and Councillors John Martinello and Roger McMurray did not vote in favour of denying the request. The trio earlier tried to get a motion passed for staff to look at measures
to legally have the gate reinstalled, however, it too was defeated 4-3. “We’ve lived here for 20 years and we’ve never encountered a situation where the gate was a problem in an emergency situation,” says Freeland. “The gate – it was never locked. There was a chain over it, but you just pull it off and it opens.” Deputy Mayor Brian Ostrander says he sees this as another enforcement and policing issue, as he listened to Freeland’s description of traffic in the area. Freeland would like to see the idea of both sidewalks and speed bumps entertained by the municipality as alternatives.

In denying the request, it doesn’t mean the issue cannot be revisited or make its way back to the council table, both Mayor Mark Walas and Ostrander assured residents. “We still have a petition to deal with,” added Watson, who noted discussions with staff and residents will be ongoing in terms of ways to potentially improve the area and the plan is to also talk with local police about enforcement. Councillor Laura Vink sympathizes with local residents, she said. “I can understand residents’ concerns, being this is quite the odd spot with the industrial park leading into a residential area,” she said.

By John Campbell East Northumberland – Full fire bans have been lifted in Brighton and Cramahe Township as result of rainfall in the area recently. Residents planning “to burn anything” will still need to obtain a fire permit at the municipal office at no charge, Cramahe Fire Chief Brandon Northrup said Monday. That includes campfires and the burning of brush, which must be done in “reasonably sized piles,” he said. Water or other means of fire suppression are to be close at hand and the fires must be supervised at all times. Cramahe imposed its fire ban June 20 as a result of continuing hot, dry weather. Although “it’s better, it’s still not ideal,” Northrup said. “If everyone takes care and does what we ask within the burn permit we shouldn’t have any issues” The risk of fire is still considered high under current conditions but it had classified as extreme while the burn ban was in effect, Northrup said. The township levied nearly $3,000 in fines on those who violated the ban. Firefighters responded to three of the occurrences on one day, a Saturday. One was caused by a bonfire that had got temporarily out of control, another was a burn barrel that ignited some grass, and the third instance involved a person who “just put wood on the grass, believe it or not, and lit it on fire,” Northrup said. One of the fires burned more than an acre and put three buildings, including a house, at risk, and another
burned “almost an entire backyard,” he said. “They could have been a lot bigger [but] we had a quick response and knocked them down pretty quick.” Brighton lifted its short-lived burn ban Aug. 17. The fire advisory now in effect allows approved campfires, natural gas or propane fire pits, and natural gas or propane barbecues, which are to be supervised at all times. The Brighton District Fire Department (613-4752233) is to be notified, however, before a campfire is lit and after it has been extinguished. Open air brush fires and burn barrels are not permitted until further notice. The fire department has been “pretty fortunate” in not having to be called out often this summer, Fire Chief Lloyd Hutchinson said. Residents “have been fabulous [and] really doing a great job,” he said. “People are very conscientious when they do have their campfires, they’re well aware it’s very dry.” There was one fire not on private property that “happened on its own” by “mysterious” means, Hutchinson said. “Any fires that we went to ... most of them [were started by] cigarette butts, but we haven’t had a lot.”

Presqu’ile prepares for 31st Monarchs and Migrants Weekend Brighton -- A spectacular scene, repeated for millennia, will once again play out Labour Day Weekend when migrating birds and monarch butterflies stop at Presqu’ile Provincial Park to refuel on their long journeys to the south. Expert butterfly tagger Don Davis will again be taking part in Monarchs and Migrants Weekend, as he has for all 30 years the event has been held. He’ll explain migration theories and provide a hands-on experience in tagging and releasing monarch butterflies Sept. 3 and 4 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Lighthouse Interpretive Centre. “We are seeing modest numbers of Monarchs as of mid-August and I anticipate a moderate flight this fall to be seen at Presqu’ile come Labour Day weekend,” park naturalist David Bree said in a news release. “Last winter nearly half the overwintering population of monarchs was killed in Mexico by an ice storm and it is encouraging that we are seeing as many as we have so far this year.” Presqu’ile will also offering bird banding demos, informative guided
walks and children’s programs. The bird banding, weather permitting, will take place at Owen Point parking lot between 8 a.m. and noon both days. No telling which of the birds heading for points between Mexico and the tip of South America will show up at the park. “The miracle of migration is one of the great natural wonders of the world,” Bree said, “and Presqu’ile is one of the great places in the world to experience some part of that miracle. I hope people take advantage of what the park offers this weekend and throughout the year to enjoy and learn about our natural world.” The guided walks will help visitors look for birds and butterflies. New this year will be a representative from Vortex Optics showcasing and selling spotting scopes and binoculars. All events are free but regular park admission fees, $14.50 per vehicle, will apply. For more information, call Bree at 613- 475-4324 ext. 225 or email him Presqu’ile Provincial Park naturalist David Bree said he’s encouraged by the number of monarch butterflies being seen in the park after an ice storm in at david.bree@ontario.ca. Mexico killed nearly half of the monarchs that wintered there. Photo submitted

Brighton Independent - Thursday, August 25, 2016
JK students would benefit from primer on riding the bus By John Campbell Northumberland County – School will soon start and for the youngest students the new experience could mean more than being in a classroom. They could be riding a school bus for the first time as well. It depends how close they live to their school. If it’s farther away than a kilometre, they will be taking a bus. Joel Sloggett, chief administrative officer for Student Transportation Services of Central Ontario (STSCO), which oversees busing for the local school boards, said his company will be providing rides for more 2,000
junior kindergarten students starting in September. It’s “very important” that parents prepare their children to ride a bus because if a child doesn’t like the idea, “then you’ve got a problem.” To reduce the chance of that happening, STSCO operates a First Rider bus safety program. Half-hour sessions are being offered in the area this week, at Lansdowne Place in Peterborough and Northumberland Mall in Cobourg. They will take place from 3 to 6 p.m. Aug. 26 and from 10 a.m to 1 p.m. Aug. 27. Young children who will be riding a school bus for the first time will learn
the safety rules about getting on and off a bus, as well as about riding in one. They will also have the opportunity to take a 10-minute ride in a real school bus. “It puts their mind at ease,” Sloggett said, “without having the pressure of the first day of school” weighing on their minds when they do start classes. It also allays the concerns of parents who “get a sense this is going to be fine.” There is no charge and pre-registration isn’t required for the drop-in program. “Anyone who attends will enjoy it and find it worthwhile,” Sloggett said. School buses don’t have seat belts
but the seats are padded as is the area around them, and it’s “proven to be safer than anything.” And the kids, who are used to being strapped in car seats, “love it because obviously they feel that they’re a little more independent,” Sloggett added. Some parents are “really anxious” what will happen to their children once they drop them off “and we assure them the bus driver is the person that will watch out for the kids [and] can be approached by the kids if anything is wrong [or] is needed.” The youngest children sit close to the front. The board’s policy is that no
elementary student ride longer than an hour. Parents should prepare their children for trips longer than 10 minutes, Sloggett said. Parents should also be aware they need to be at the pickup spot a few minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive in case it is running early, he said. Parents and guardians seeking more information can visit www.stsco.ca or call 705-748-5500 (toll free 1-800757-0307). The buses deliver about 25,000 students in total to more than 120 schools, covering roughly 10 million km yearly on 600 routes.

Denied ministry funding for out-of-country surgery, Trent Hills mayor says he’ll be dead by Christmas Trent Hills – Mayor Hector Macmillan is dying and he’s angry the provincial government isn’t doing more to keep him alive. Macmillan, 58, survived esophageal cancer five years ago but was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer in January. His only salvation is to undergo surgery at the University of Louisville School of Medicine in Kentucky which has had success in extending the survival rates of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. But it’s expensive – $250,000 US – and last week Macmillan learned his application to have the cost of the surgery and subsequent care paid for by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) had been denied by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care. It cited the “experimental” nature of the treatment he seeks, which makes it ineligible for funding for OHIPinsured out-of-country hospital and medical services. The Association of Municipalities of Ontario’s annual conference in Toronto gave Macmillan the opportunity to confront Minister of Health Dr. Eric Hoskins on Aug. 16 during the “bear pit” session, when ministers answer questions from mayors and reeves from across the province. He told Hoskins he had learned a day earlier that he had “joined the ranks of many Ontarians who are being murdered” by the ministry and Cancer
Care Ontario, “who offer no solutions for pancreatic cancer except palliative chemo.” Macmillan said Ontario already has the “NanoKnife® machine” that’s used in Kentucky to destroy cancerous tumours using electrical pulses, but it “collects dust” at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto “while the protocols [for its use] are still being developed.” Meanwhile the process, known as irreversible electroporation, “is being used daily successfully around the world, in over 250 hospitals, 50 of them in the U.S.,” he said. “It‘s only considered experimental in Ontario because you don’t want to pay for it, or pay for me and others’out-ofcountry surgery in Kentucky,” he told Hoskins. “My doctors have told me I will be dead by ... Christmas without it. Mr. Minister, why are you killing us? And are you really just going to let me die?” A sympathetic Hoskins acknowledged the “challenges” Macmillan is going through personally and in his dealings with the health-care system but he said he and his government “rely on a body of highly talented physicians, specialists to provide [them] the best possible advice” on what should be funded. “It’s not a political decision,” he said. His government wants to provide “life-saving opportunities” to individuals but “at the same time we want to base our health-care decisions on best practices and science and evi-

Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in January, credits drinking noni juice with having “cured” three cancerous lymph nodes in his chest as well as shrinking the tumour in the pancreas, leaving it “stabilized,” but surgery is needed soon to remove it because “the clock’s ticking.” Photo by John Campbell PATIO DOORS

dence.” The “experts make that decision on all of our behalf and regrettably it’s often decisions that patients can‘t fathom,” he said. Hoskins did commit “to finding out why that determination was made,” concerning use of the new technology at Princess Margaret, saying, “there’s nothing more important” to him as a minister and even more as a physician than finding ways “to improve an outcome for an Ontarian.” He was “deeply troubled by the decision that was made in your case,” he told Macmillan, “and I am sorrowed by the challenge that you face with our health-care system and I apologize for that.” In an interview Aug. 19, Macmillan said he plans to ask for an internal review of the ministry’s decision. But “with time running out” and suspecting the decision isn’t likely to be overturned, he chose to speak to Hoskins directly “not only on my behalf but [for] all Ontarians.” The minister’s response, however, was “nothing more than lip service,” he said. Now he’ll have to find the money on his own to pay for his treatment, which will be a daunting task. He and his wife “went all in” to purchase a bowling alley three weeks before he was diagnosed, and “$30,000 a year on the mayor’s wage doesn’t cut it.” He also can’t get a loan, given the state of his health. But Macmillan won’t have to raise the funds alone. Trent Hills Fire Ser-

Time to play at Campbellford Farmers’ Market By Sue Dickens Campbellford – Changing things up with a kids day the Campbellford Farmers’ Market offered entertainment and toy food to dozens of youngsters who showed up for this first-time event. There were plenty of thumbs up on the market’s Facebook page the day it happened, which was the normal weekly Wednesday morning for vendors to sell their homemade pastries and homegrown fruits and vegetables and more. Musician Terry Brooks performed and did singalongs with the children and Brianne Parr of the Campbellford library hosted storytime. As well, Jenny Madden of Glenlea Farm, a vendor at the market, organized “name that farm tool” game for the kids. A family that has recently moved from Mexico to Campbellford was at the market and chose the venue as a chance for their children to learn about where food comes from and to enjoy the entertainment. Bencar Grace was with his three children Yaritizi, age 1, Owen age 3 and Vaaya age 6. They were learning about fruits and vegetables at the toy booth. His wife Emily is the daughter of Campbellford resident Kerry Burke. “I have lived in Mexico all my life. We came here to be safe,” said Bencar. “Today is a lot of fun for the children.” Eight-year-old Aiden Smith was with his siblings and grandparents Lynn and Courtleigh Hermanus of Toronto, who have been coming to this area to a cottage for 25 years. Aiden, who wants to be a martial arts or swimming instructor, said, “I like Campbellford and I like the farmers’ market. I eat fruits and vegetables all the time. I’d rather eat healthy stuff so I can stay fit.” The market is open Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon through the summer on Front Bencar Grace and his wife Emily have recently arrived here from Mexico. The youngsters enjoyed the toy food booth at the special kids day at Campbellford Farmers’ Market: from left, Street South across from the TD bank.

Total fire ban lifted in Trent Hills
Campbellford – Fire Chief Tim Blake has rescinded the “total fire ban” and re-issued a “fire advisory” for the Municipality of Trent Hills. A fire advisory is not a total fire ban. Fires will be permitted with an open air burning permit that has been approved, for campfires as approved on the open air permit, natural gas or propane fire pits, and natural gas or propane barbecues, but must be supervised at all times. According to the press release by Chief Blake, “Fires shall be completely extinguished prior to leaving the area.” He also advises that people must have some means of extinguishing the fire such as shovels, rakes, fire buckets,
garden hose, etc., available at or near the location of the fire at all times. Daytime open air fires are not permitted until further notification. A person who sets an unauthorized fire under this advisory will be responsible for the costs of extinguishing the fire at $300 per hour per vehicle. Chief Blake also stated, “Do not discard cigarettes from your vehicle.” Several of the recent grass fires were the result of a discarded cigarette, said Blake. “We appreciate your co-operation at this time when the weather conditions are dry and hazardous conditions can escalate quickly.”

With 10 Grammy Awards on the shelf, the Austin, Texas outfit turned in a high wattage performance that let loose all kinds of musiccraft. Even country legend Sammy Kershaw, set to play later that night, was mesmerized standing in the wings with the sound techs singing along with Ray Benson and his musical crew. The Band Perry and Scotty McCreery delivered the star power Saturday night but Canadian Jess Moskaluke, the most-played Canadian female singer on Canadian country radio in 2015 (second only to Carrie Underwood overall) was every bit their equal with a performance that was dynamic, confident and tight. There’s a reason people compare Moskaluke to Shania Twain, and it’s not just the fact that she’s the first Canadian female artist to earn gold record status since Twain. Two CCMA female artist of the year awards for Moskaluke is a sign of things to come and a headlining gig at the Jamboree has to be in her future. Canadian superstar Terri Clark commanded the headliner’s spotlight Friday night and the eight-time Canadian Country Music Association female artist of the year was magnificent, winning roars from the large crowd that was more than warmed up and revved to dance. In all, 25 acts performed over the sun-drenched four day festival.

Havelock Jamboree opens with gusto By Bill Freeman Havelock – The 27thth Havelock Country Jamboree opened with gusto Thursday night. Bathed in summer sun and gloriously warm evening temperatures, fans were in a party mood from the start after Coup De Ville kicked things off and rising young Canadian band Runaway Angels picked up the torch, adding a little spice to the show with a 90’s mash-up medley of radio hits that included a pretty good take on The Spice Girls. By the time hockey player turned country star Chad Brownlee hit the stage, the party was officially on. Juno award winners The Road Hammers hit the stage with the pedal to the metal serving up a full throttle jam of roadhouse country rock.
Kansas Stone finished off the night. Friday’s musical menu included The Jordy Jackson Band, Next Country Music Star Talent Search winner Sacha, indie successes The Lovelocks, Texas legends Asleep At The Wheel, Tebey, Sammy Kershaw and headliner and multi-award winner Terri Clark. Bobby Wills closed the night. Saturday’s big lineup included afternoon shows by Melissa Payne, Big Tobacco & The Pickers, The Good Brothers and Aaron Lines. On stage at night was 2015 Canadian Country Music Association female artist of the year Jess Moskaluke, American Idol winner Scotty McCreery, The Band Perry and Jaydee Bixby. The Jamboree continued on Sunday starting at 10 a.m. with Jessica Wedden wrapping up at 4:30 p.m. with The Neighbours.

Firefighters band together to give dying mayor ‘a fighting chance’ By John Campbell Trent Hills – Trent Hills Fire Service decided to set up a GoFundMe account to give Mayor Hector Macmillan “a fighting chance” in his bid to survive pancreatic cancer, says Fire
Chief Tim Blake. Macmillan is pinning his hopes on staying alive longer than his doctors have predicted by having surgery done in Kentucky that involves using electrical pulses to eliminate the tumour. But the cost is $250,000 US – and the Ministry of Health and Long-Term

children, seven grandchildren and other family members “are scrambling trying to figure out ways to get him this surgery in Louisville, Kentucky. We are assured the procedure will buy Hector five to seven years or longer, and that something else will come along during that time. Without the procedure, he is not expected to make it to Christmas.” Blake said in an interview the fundraiser is also intended “to bring attention” to the “big picture” that includes all Ontarians. “If this is available, this technology, then why is it not here?” he asked. Macmillan said the equipment is, and has been successful in treating pancreatic cancer in limited use, but “the protocols are still being written.” Blake said his 67 firefighters have been touched by cancer as well, and the department has participated in the annual Relay for Life for many years. He emailed 187 people announcing the firefighters’ fundraiser. “It’s pretty overwhelming to know that I’ve got that kind of support here,” Macmillan said. Although “the clock’s ticking” on his surviving the year, if surgery isn’t done, he has no intention of resigning midway through his fourth term. “I’ll never quit my job, that’s not my style, that’s not my nature,” he said. “I made a commitment and I’m going to fulfill it, [even] if it kills me.”
Books began popping up everywhere in Brighton, thanks to library By John Campbell Brighton – Brighton Public Library’s main branch is located on Alice Street but a pop-up version began appearing in all sorts of places this summer: at community events and municipal parks, and in local businesses. People could check out books,
DVDS and magazines, collect freebies, participate in fun activities and sign up for a library card. The outreach program held Monday to Friday started July 1 and came to an end Aug. 31. Along the way it set up at various spots around town as well as at Presqu’ile, Gosport and Codrington, staying at each location for anywhere from two to four hours.
The idea behind was “to get the library out into the community,” said summer student Emma Gunter, because “sometimes people forget about us.” With the new approach, “as long as people are hearing about us and able to use the service then we’re happy,” she said. So were the many people who took advantage of what was being offered. The pop-up library was well received by
local residents. “They like the idea of it,” Gunter said. “It’s cool to introduce something new.” She and other library staff got asked “lots of questions.” People with cottages at Presqu’ile didn’t realize the taxes they paid the municipality granted them library membership, she said. “A lot of stuff about e-books, too. People don’t realize we have the big
database for e-books ... There are services they didn’t know about but now they’re more excited to go in [the main branch] and see what it’s all about.” Staffing the library for the summer was “awesome,” Gunter said. “We’re outside every day in the community and get to talk to a lot of people.” They were only rained out twice. “We’ve been lucky,” she said.

Since 2002, the Brighton Health Services Centre, a registered charity, has been managed by a volunteer Board of Directors. In the past fourteen years, the BHSC has developed into a facility that houses a YMCA fitness facility, a Family Health Team, an Ontario Early Years Centre, and satellite offices of the South East Community Care Access Centre and a County of Northumberland social services hub. While not directly involved in the operations of these tenant organizations, the BHSC Board oversees building maintenance and lease administration to ensure ongoing financial self-sustainability. Since 2009, the Board has also managed a community health grant program that has provided grants to more than 25 local not-for-profit community organizations involved in health and wellness initiatives. This program was recently re-named the Brian Todd Memorial Community Fund in honour of the BHSC’s founding Chairman. The BHSC Board of Directors is inviting applications from local residents who would like to serve as a volunteer Director. Knowledge of property management, lease administration and accounting would be an asset.

Colborne triathlete heading for world championships
By Sarah Hyatt Colborne – A Colborne triathlete will represent Canada next year in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Harold Kuschnik earned his shot to compete at the World International Triathlon Union Championships in 2017 and to represent Canada, after he returned home with a third place win from the Canadian Triathlon Championships in Ottawa this summer. He’s pretty excited, he admits. “I was hoping for top 10,” said the East Northumberland Secondary School (ENSS) teacher and cross-country coach. Kuschnik brought home bronze in the men’s 55-59 category. An avid runner for most of his life and since the 70s, where he used to run for ENSS and compete in track and field and cross-country, Kuschnik’s well known for his passion throughout the area. He’s also well known as a competitor in more local triathlons. He often travels to Cobourg, Kingston and Peterborough to contend with some of the best in the region. For more than 30 years, running has been his passion. In 2015, the 56-year-old placed in the top
three of his age category in five marathons. Kuschnik completed his first triathlon in 1990. “Only in the last 10 years or so, have I started doing them more consistently,” he said. But as for competing at the national level as he did this summer or at the international level – these are firsts for the Colborne resident. “My strength is running,” he said. “But for a person to do well in a triathlon, you can’t be good at just one part – you have to consistently do well in all three. It takes a lot of conditioning, strength and endurance. You have to be technically sound in all three disciplines.” With that said, the triathlete says he did kind of luck out a bit at this summer’s championships, with the swim portion of the competition turning into an additional run. He finished with a total time of 2:08:36.6. Kuschnik underwent a “grueling” training program to prepare for this summer’s championships. Weekly, he’d average 50-60 kilometres running, bike another 150-200 and swim around three kilometres. On top of that, Kuschnik spends a few hours on flexibility and strength training.

“So you’re looking at anywhere from 15-20 hours a week in training,” said Kuschnik. Plus, the ENSS teacher travels to places like Barry’s Bay or Ameliasburgh to compete in what he calls, warm-up competitions, preceding a triathlon. To prepare for Rotterdam, Kuschnik will be looking to refine some of his skills. He’s hooking up with a swim coach from the Cobourg YMCA and will be focusing more on his swimming and biking to up his game. “Northumberland really is one of the best training areas in Canada,” he said. “You’ve got a variety of hills for running and biking.” Kuschnik regularly practises his swimming at Little Lake. And while there’s a lot of work ahead for Kuschnik, for next September’s world championships, with regards to mental preparation and to get acquainted with some of the rules and go through the athletic screening process even – he’s looking forward to a new tri-suit and representing Canada, he says. This was the Colborne resident’s hope and now that the kids are older, he has the time to dedicate himself more to achieve not only success with his running, but biking and Colborne’s Harold Kuschnik celebrates a third place win in the men’s 55-59 swimming too. category for the Canadian Triathlon Championships.

Brighton youth represents Team Canada; bowls to silver, bronze medals
By Sarah Hyatt
Brighton – Thirteen-year-old Nicholas Blagojevic is making a name for himself internationally with tenpin bowling. The Brighton youth, who practises out of the Quinte region, has recently returned home with one silver medal and two bronze medals after representing Team Canada, in Fort Lauderdale. He’s heading out to Michigan to compete again this weekend, where it’s anticipated college coaches from the United States will be in attendance to scope out players. “My dad kind of got me addicted,” said Nicholas. Bowling is a family sport for the Blagojevics. His sister, Mackenzie, who’s 16, bowls too. Nicholas began playing the sport at just three years old. At one point, he was practising in two leagues on the weekends – out of Belleville (Quinte Bowl) and in Kitchener. He’s serious about becoming a
professional bowler one day, he says. This summer, he’s been hard at work, taking steps to make that happen, competing in two major tournaments recently at the national and international levels, after qualifying locally. First, he made his was to Indianapolis, to compete at the 2016 Junior Gold Championships. Nicholas joined more than 3,000, who were competing for a national title in their division and a $300,000 scholarship fund. In the 15-and-under boys’ category, Nicholas went up against more than 500 competitors. “He did pretty well, considering this is his first year in this age group,” said his proud mom, Lisa. Competing at these levels was also a first for the Brighton youth this summer. Nicholas beat out about half of the competition, finishing in the middle of the contest. Over the years, Nicholas has travelled to compete in places like Chicago and Ohio even, to
name a few. He previously represented Southern Ontario in a contest in Winnipeg in 2014. But to represent Team Canada – that’s his dream. He’s always trying to earn spots to compete, to improve his game and for the chance to earn some cash for college. “There’s a lot of opportunities for kids to earn scholarship money through this sport,” said Lisa. The Blagojevics are eager to raise some awareness surrounding tenpin bowling. “It is a competitive sport,” said Andrew, Nicholas’ dad. “It’s huge in the United States.” Sometimes bowlers will play 10 games or more in a day – it’s not just a recreational sport, say the Blagojevics. There’s lane play and mental strategy to consider too. Based on his performance at the Junior Gold Championships and his bowling reputation, Nicholas was handpicked by the Canadian Tenpin Federation’s high-performance committee to represent Team Canada at the Tournament
of the Americas, to compete in Fort Lauderdale. It was a pretty amazing experience, says Nicholas, to be chosen as one of Canada’s junior boys. His goal is to compete for Team Canada again next year. He’d like to earn a spot to represent Canada for the entire year. “He’s very talented,” said Lisa. “He’s got a pretty decent average for his age around 180.” A perfect game is 300 – Nicholas’ best performance is 287. Nicholas received his silver medal in the boys’ doubles category, one bronze for the mixed division, and his second bronze medal for his overall performance – for all games scored. The Brighton youth took on teams from the United States, Columbia and Puerto Rico, to name a few. It was a huge tournament, he said, but more fun than anything. Despite the stiff competition, the atmosphere is great, he says. The 13-year-old said he spent Nicholas Blagojevic displays his three medals he brought home from Fort most of his time in Fort Lauderdale Lauderdale, after competing in the international Tournament of the making friends from Puerto Rico.

Brighton’s Keith Couperus tied with three others for second in league scoring, with six goals. Right behind him was Kyle Couperus, along with four others, at five goals.

Brighton – Brighton Keystone Orange fell short of claiming first place in Division 1 of the Bay of Quinte Men’s Outdoor Soccer League but it still had a shot at winning the Joe Iazena Memorial Trophy Cup entering the final week of play. Brighton was scheduled to take on the Fury in the semi-finals Aug. 23 and a win would send it to the final Aug. 25 at MA Sills No. 1 in Belleville. The two teams split their season series. “Fury’s always tough, we’re pretty tough, too,”
coach Merv Heffernan said. “If we’re lucky enough to get through on Tuesday night, we’ll make a good accounting of ourselves on Thursday night.” The Orange was neck-and-neck with Hellenics for first place for much of the season but its rival pulled ahead to take top spot with a record of 11 wins, two losses and one tie, good for 34 points, five more than Brighton, which had nine wins and two ties (the league awards three points for a win). A key blow was a 2-0 loss to Hellenics early in August, when the two teams were tied in the standings. It was just the team’s third defeat of

Prince Edward Jazz Fest packs strikes a chord Picton - No doubt the music made them happy, but the last note of the final concert Sunday night in Picton’s Regent Theatre left many hundreds of people sad that it had to end. Despite intense heat, humidity and discomfort for much of the four days, most of the events drew large or capacity toe-tapping crowds. Juno award winning jazz vocalist Emilie-Claire Barlow set the pace for the first main event concert in the air-conditioned Regent Thursday night with a sell-out crowd, reported Creative Director Brian Barlow, followed by another sellout crowd Friday evening, Guido Basso and Friends, a tribute to local musician and flugelhorn player extraordinaire Basso, who adopted the
Consecon community as his home some years ago. The annual jazz mass Sunday morning, amid downpours of rain, also packed St. Mary Magdalene Anglican Church to capacity with extra chairs set up, made all the more fun by the surprise participation of Basso again, when a saxophone player had to cancel. Basso’s resounding flugelhorn solos made the church sound like it was built specifically for his horn, starting with the jazz prelude, “There Is No Greater Love Than This in All the World.” Sit-down jazz interludes during the hymns allowed the congregation to just enjoy and even applaud along on the extemporaneous solos by Basso, pianist Robi Botos, bass player Jodi Proznick and Barlow himself on drums.
Drawing huge crowd to the Wellington Market Saturday morning was the Chameleon Dixieland jazz band from Toronto. They later performed at other venues during the day including Bloomfield’s Main Street and the Huff ’s Estate Winery. Photo by Jack Evans
The rector, Archdeacon Charles Morris, who has presided over several such jazz masses in the church, encouraged the congregation to let themselves be moved my “more than just the music,” and contended that “there will definitely be jazz players in heaven.” The choir,
under Michael Goodwin, also got into the act, with a lively anthem “River of Dreams,” by Canadian jazz star Joe Sealy and ceremonial bits accompanied by the jazz quartet. Special guest for the service again was, Bishop Peter Mason from Kingston. Throughout the weekend, jazz combos and soloists arranged through Barlow, performed at various venues, including late-night bars, afternoons in churches and wineries and outdoors on Saturday
with the Chameleon Dixieland Jazz Band from Toronto. They drew a huge crowd to the farmer’s market at Wellington. The County’s next music festival, Sept. 17-18 and 24-25, goes to more serious music with the annual Classical Music Festival under Artistic Director Stephane Lemelin. This event too involves several venues across the County, but most of the main concerts are in the acoustically-rich St. Mary Magdalene Church.
Recent rainfall not enough to end Level 3 Low Water Condition While some areas in the Quinte Conservation watershed received a significant amount of rain from August 12 to 16 it wasn’t enough to lift the area out of a Level 3 Low Water Condition. As a result Quinte Conservation was still calling on people to reduce their water usage by 50 per cent by Aug. 17. Water Resources Manager Christine McClure said, “Over the last five days Belleville received the most rainfall in the watershed with approximately 70 millimetres, or 3 inches, of rain. Northern areas received much less rain – only about 25 millimetres, or 1 inch. The upper Napanee watershed and some areas in Prince Edward County received about 50 millimetres, or 2 inches, of rain. We need significant sustained rainfall over several
days in the northern parts of the watershed in order to replenish our rivers and streams.� Quinte Conservation confirms low water conditions using two criteria – precipitation and stream flow. In order to move out of the Level 3 Low Water Condition the Quinte Conservation watersheds need to receive a great deal more slow, steady rain to make up for the deficit experienced earlier in the year. Significant rainfall is required to see the flows increase in rivers and streams. McClure explains, “Our rivers and streams did see an increase in levels and flows because of the rain. Most have already peaked and are back in decline. We expect to see the Moira River flows
south of Tweed decrease over the next few days.� McClure adds, “Groundwater levels were helped somewhat by the recent rain but are still quite low for the season. People on private wells will need to be careful with their water use and monitor their wells in case they should go dry.� Quinte Conservation is continuing to ask residents and businesses to reduce their water use by 50 per cent until the water supply has been replenished. The local environmental agency will monitor precipitation and stream flows and provide updates. Quinte Conservation encourages everyone to use water wisely and apply water conservation measures. Information on water conservation can be found on the Quinte Conservation website at www.quinteconservation.ca. Quinte Conservation will be meeting with the Low Water Response Team in the first week of September to go over current conditions. A Level 3 Low Water Condition was declared by Quinte Conservation and the Low Water Response Team due to lack of rainfall and low flows in local rivers and streams on August 4. The Quinte Conservation watersheds have been experiencing low water conditions since the beginning of June. A Level 3 Low Water Condition indicates a failure of the water supply to meet demand. Restrictions on water use may be imposed by municipalities or under the provincial Water Resources Act. 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. The environmental organization is encouraging any individuals or businesses in the Quinte watersheds who experience problems or hardships, such as wells going dry, to contact Quinte Conservation by calling 613-968-3434 or 613-354-3312 and dialing extension 129. Reports can also be emailed to info@quinteconservation.ca. These reports will help the organization track the impacts of the Low Water Condition. Well owners should take steps to protect their well pump. A licensed contractor can be hired to check water levels, make sure the pump is working and ensure the pump is protected in case the well should run dry.

One hundred year milestone for respected Norwood dealership By Bill Freeman Norwood – They’ve come a long way since the J.J. Duffus garage on Colborne Street. It was a full day of celebrations for J.J. Stewart Motors which marked its milestone 100th anniversary on Saturday, a remarkable achievement spanning two centuries, four generations, world wars, moonwalks and the transition from Ford to Dodge-DesotoChrysler and Chrysler-Dodge-Plymouth as well as 34 years of selling Massey Ferguson farm equipment. Along the way, there have been awards, accolades and a deep involvement in the community. “It’s nice to have everyone out to let them know how much we appreciate them. Without them, we’re not lasting 10 years, let alone 100 years,” said Dave Stewart who, with brother Mark, represents the fourth generation of Stewarts to guide the dealership which moved to its new flagship shop on Highway 7 in 2003. It all started on Colborne Street in 1916 with the JJ Duffus garage which Fred Stewart began to manage in
1918. He purchased the business in 1926 and his son Jack started working there on weekends eventually joining his dad in 1936 when it became Stewart Motors and a Dodge-DesotoChrysler dealership. It became a Chrysler-Dodge-Plymouth dealership in 1948 as well as a Massey Ferguson shop. They stopped selling farm equipment in 1982. Jack’s sons John and Ross joined in 1966 and it became known as J.J. Stewart Motors Limited. Mark and Dave officially joined the company in 1996. “It’s a neat thing to show the history of us today,” said Dave. “It’s a very proud day for grandpa, dad, Mark and I.” Dave admitted that it’s a “very rare thing” to be able to stay in your hometown and be part of a 100-year business legacy. “I led kind of a charmed life. I grew up in the dealership and got to go away for awhile and do my own thing and then returned to a business I enjoy and family that’s all kind of working towards the same goal. As a 44-yearold guy, to work with my grandpa, dad and my brother, it’s a pretty rare
thing.” “It’s something else to be in business 100 years to work beside your grandfather and have my son here and Dave’s kids and hopefully we can continue for a fifth generation,” his brother Mark added. “I’ve witnessed so many good things and I think this community owes them a real debt of gratitude and support,” long-time family friend and former reeve and mayor Doug Pearcy said. “What J.J. and his family have done for the whole community is astounding.” Jack (J.J.) Stewart, soon to be 102, was his usual dapper self as he greeted long-time friends and customers at the 100th anniversary celebrations of J.J. Stewart Motors. Photo by Bill Freeman

Working at McDonald’s can help you earn college credits Flipping burgers, serving fries and, of course, offering free smiles at McDonald’s may now represent the first steps towards a college diploma for employees of the fast-food chain. For the first time in Ontario, McDonald’s employees can now receive credits towards a college business diploma, thanks to a new agreement between Colleges Ontario and McDonald’s Restaurants of Canada Ltd. McDonald’s employees, who have completed specific training, will be eligible to be granted the equivalent of a first-year credit for a business or business administration program at one of 24 public colleges in Ontario, including Belleville’s Loyalist College. A statement sent out by Colleges Ontario says this may lead to significant cost-savings for eligible employees by reducing the number of courses and time required to earn a diploma – with potential savings of up to $4,500. “We’re thrilled to offer such an amazing program with McDonald’s Canada,” said Linda Franklin,
the president and CEO of Colleges Ontario. “This unique arrangement marks a new way of thinking about how employees can get access to further education and training without repeating learning they have already acquired. It’s the type of innovative partnership that colleges and businesses will be doing more of as Canada looks to strengthen its workforce and its economy.” “McDonald’s and its independent franchisees are committed to providing opportunities for people to learn life skills that will set them up for success – skills such as leadership, communications, hospitality and profit management,” said Sharon Ramalho, Chief People Officer of McDonald’s Canada. “We’re so pleased to work with the colleges on this new program that not only recognizes the quality of McDonald’s training, but also empowers employees to apply the skills they’ve learned to reach their career and academic goals.” For more information about McDonald’s Archways to Opportunity program visit www.ArchwaysToOpportunity.com

These Hydration Stations will be provided to successful applicants to serve kids and their families in Hastings and Prince Edward counties. The Community Hydration Station initiative is being undertaken as part of Water Does Wonders - the second theme of the Healthy Kids Community Challenge, which encourages kids and their families to drink more water. The goal of this initiative is to increase the availability of water access points in Hastings and Prince Edward Counties, ultimately making it easier and more convenient for kids and their families to drink more water. “By purchasing new hydration stations for the community, we hope to make it easier for kids and their families to choose water as their beverage of choice to stay healthy and hydrated,” said Emma Pillsworth,
Local Project Manager for the Healthy Kids Community Challenge Hastings Prince Edward. “Water is essential to keep kids’ bodies working and growing properly and we want to make it as readily available as possible.” Publicly funded and not-for-profit organizations that serve kids and their families in Hastings and Prince Edward Counties and who could benefit from better water access are encouraged to submit an application. Links to the Community Hydration Station Application and the accompanying guide can be found at: https://healthykidshpe.ca/community-hydrationstations/. Applications are due September 30. Hastings and Prince Edward Counties join 44 other communities across Ontario taking part in the Healthy Kids Community Challenge. The Healthy Kids Community Challenge unites communities with a common goal of promoting children’s health through physical activity, healthy eating and other healthy habits.

A Visit to the Smallest Desert in the World Imagine finding what’s said to be the smallest desert in the world right here in Canada. It’s located in our far north, in the Yukon, just outside the tiny village of Carcross. The Guinness Book of World Records has listed it as the world’s smallest desert, for it’s just a few sand dunes located on a mere 642 acres (260 hectares). This area, only about one square mile in size, was covered, once upon a time, by a large glacial lake, and as the glaciers retreated, a sandy lake bottom material was left behind. These sand dunes are constantly being worked over by the strong winds, so it’s difficult for much vegetation to become established. Therefore, the area looks rather desolate. It also seems somewhat out of place up here, surrounded by so many thickly forested areas. It’s a geological anomaly, a very unique sight. I checked out this desert for myself, and I read the posted sign stating that it’s known as “the smallest desert in the world”. I was told that hiking and sandboarding in these dunes are popular summertime activities, and I’ve had friends who have visited here in the winter and have actually snowboarded on these snow-covered dunes. It’s definitely an interesting destination! If you’re planning a summertime visit to the Yukon, I’d certainly recommend checking out this desert. The best way to explore it would be by hiking on the Carcross Dunes Trails. A 3 km., 5 km., and 10 km. loop trail can be found behind the Carcross School, and each of these footpaths is well marked. You’ll traverse the dunes themselves and the shore of nearby Bennett Lake. I’d also recommend spending some time in this historically intriguing village, too. It’s the traditional territory of the Carcross/ Tagish First Nation, and it still remains a stronghold of Tlingit culture. The village used to be known as Caribou Crossing, for huge numbers of caribou migrated through this area. However, the name was officially shortened to Carcross in 1904. During the Klondike Gold Rush, this became a popular stopping place for prospectors going to and coming from the gold fields at Dawson City. In fact, it was a Tagish First Nation person from this very area, Skookum Jim, who was one of the perpetrators of that renowned Gold Rush. He struck it rich in Dawson City, and then he built Carcross’s biggest house. When he died, he was buried in the local cemetery, and he left a large sum of money to a trust established to improve the health and education of First Nations People in the Yukon.
During that Gold Rush, the White Pass and Yukon Route was quickly built to take the gold-seekers by train between Skagway and Whitehorse. Carcross became an important stop along this route, and its rail depot, built in 1910, is now a designated Heritage Railway Station. There’s also a commemorative memorial in Carcross, for it was here that the last spike formerly completed the White Pass and Yukon Route. While in Carcross, be sure to visit the Carcross Visitor Information Centre and the Carcross/Tagish First Nation Carving Shed. This latter spot is a great place to watch master carvers making masks and totem poles. Wander through the Carcross Commons, where you’ll see several shops, including restaurants, an art gallery, and a display of totem poles. I’d also recommend checking out the nearby St. Saviour’s Anglican Church (built in 1904 and still used today), the Carcross Post Office (the oldest continually operated post office in Canada) and the Matthew Watson General Store (the oldest operating store in the Yukon). This latter building offers a great variety of goods, including rather expensive indoor/outdoor minimuks (footwear). There was also a sign posted in this store that read “Shoplifters will be shot. This is the law of the Yukon and we don’t call 911.” Carcross is located between Skagway, Alaska and Whitehorse, Yukon. Just south of Carcross is the abandoned town of Bennett (in British Columbia) and the Chilkoot Trail National Historic Site; they’re located on the south shore of Lake Bennett, and several avid hikers still visit this area every summer to tackle this historic Gold Rush Trail. Just north of Carcross, TICO#50007364

you’ll find the Caribou Crossing Trading Post, which offers dog cart rides, gold panning, a petting zoo, and a Wildlife Museum. A little further north is Emerald Lake, and its spectacular emerald-green colour makes it very noticeable. Continuing even north on the Klondike Highway, you’ll soon arrive at the Yukon’s capital city, Whitehorse (72 km. from Carcross). Carcross has a population of less than 500, but it’s definitely worth checking out. I found several well preserved historic buildings here, as well as one of the last relics of the Yukon’s steamship era (the SS
Tutshi). I also discovered that this wilderness area also offered some firstrate mountain biking trails. And, of course, there’s that nearby desert, too. For More Information: www.yukoninfo.com/region/ carcross

Basso likes his music mellow By Jack Evans Consecon - He has been called “the best damn flugelhorn player in the world,” but he made his name originally as a trumpet player. Guido Basso, who settled into the Consecon community in 1980, remains an active force in Canadian music-making with a reputation of having associated with just about anybody who is anybody in the world of big bands and jazz. That includes Dizzy Gillespie, Benny Goodman, Al Hirt, Pearl Bailey, Edith Piaf, Sammy Davis Jr. and dozens of others. Many, he lamented in a presentation in the Bloomfield hall on Tuesday, Aug. 15, are now gone. The evening was the official kickoff to this year’s annual Prince Edward County Jazz Festival, which continued for the rest of the week. It consisted of festival Creative Director Brian Barlow, a long-time musical associate and drummer, prodding him with questions about events and personalities in front of an audience of almost 30 people. Born in Montreal in 1937, Basso starting studying trumpet at the age of nine, getting his first professional gigs in his teenage years with local bands. He also studied at the Conservatoire de Music du Quebec. It was years later before Basso discovered the mellow sounds of a flugelhorn and quickly sought one out and mastered it. The difference, he explained, is “a trumpet starts as a straight tube and stays that way until it flows into a bell; a flugelhorn starts as a tube and keeps expanding gradually into a bell, making a mellower, pleasant sound compared to the trumpet’s shrill and piercing sound.” His first big break came when
band leader Vic Damone heard him and booked him for a tour, leading to exposure with other U. S. –based musicians and ultimately Pearl Bailey and her bandleader husband and drummer Louis Bellson. He recalls that while touring with them, for his 21st birthday, Dinah Washington happened to be in the audience and at Bailey’s request serenaded Basso with the “Happy Birthday “ song. When his work visa ran out, he thought of renewing it, but realizing he would face the draft, returned to Canada and Toronto, where he understood the music scene was more profitable. And so it was. From a back street George’s Spaghetti House, he got involved in CBC radio and television studio work and more, becoming a leading “contractor,” or person who arranges for players . He also took up mouth organ and conducting. (A person who could play more than one instrument could qualify for 50 per cent more.) A contractor also made a commission. But musicians who wanted future gigs would always try to keep on his good side. One time, the Toronto Symphony was starring a jazz singer so Guido was called upon to conduct it. “I was very nervous,” he said, but then he reminded the orchestra that “I may not be a great conductor, but I am a great contractor,” and the entire orchestra followed him perfectly. “That was a wonderful moment for me,” he said. At one point, he saw a musician with a blue-lacquered trumpet and wanted to get one himself. He found an instrument expert who could do it and got one in green, which helped him get a gig with the CBC’s first in-colour TV show. He also recalled when media magnate Ted Rogers hired him as
l a u n n A 5 1
a contractor to provide a band for his daughter’s engagement party. He booked a young woman who was a piano player trying to break into singing, Diana Krall. Her first official gig as a singer was a huge success and she went on from there. Both Barlow and Basso were somewhat critical of famed band leader Benny Goodman who proved to be difficult to work with and “cheap” in his treatment of musicians. Basso was the contractor who put together a band for a CBC show with Goodman conducting. Goodman challenged the long hair of the drummer Basso hired, then the beard of the next one and even complained about the third, driving Basso to frustration. When Goodman wanted to re-arrange the entire seating system, used effectively for the best sound by CBC engineers, Basso said: “With due respect Mr. Goodman, go f--- yourself.” Basso was to take part in an allstar Canadian jazz band concert on the following Friday as one of the major concerts in the Regent Theatre for this year’s festival. Basso and his wife remain happy in their county home with their 44 acres backing onto Wellers Bay. But he also has plenty of gigs, both in the area and abroad. Her can also bask in receiving the Orde4r of Canada in 1994. Asked about new developments in jazz, Basso proclaimed that he does not like modern young musicians going too far with their improvisations. “It is no longer musi9c, it’s just sound effects, and unpleasant,” he said.

Get down, dirty and do your bit at Grapes of Wrath By Ross Lees Prince Edward County – If you like getting down and dirty and doing your bit for three important charitable organizations, you’re going to love the Grapes of Wrath mud run on Sept. 10. And the best part? It takes place at a winery! A challenging obstacle course that is laid out through Hillier Creek Estates Winery, this physically grueling and mentally demanding course will give you all you want and more. Dubbed the Grapes of Wrath Extreme Romp ‘n Stomp, the beneficiaries of the fundraising aspect of the challenge include the Canadian Cancer Society’s HPE and Brighton Community Office, Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation and Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation. Not only have organizers expanded the ob-

stacles, they have also opened it up to youth aged 14 to 17. Located at 46 Stapleton Rd., Hillier, in Prince Edward County, the course has grown to include 21 grueling obstacles designed by Canadian Military volunteers, firefighters and volunteer contractors and has challenged the strength, agility and stamina of more than 720 participants as they ran under and through grapevines and splashed through the winery’s namesake creek. To date, the event has raised $120,000 and always receives tremendously positive feedback from participants into challenging themselves and their teams to a military-style obstacle course designed to test physical and mental stamina. “In 2015, with obstacles such as a 14-foot wall climb, monkey bars and a culvert crawl, we saw competitors rely on each other to get up, over and through various obstacles and make it to the finish line together,” noted Kemp Stewart, proprietor of Hillier Creek Estates Winery. With Scotiabank on board as the title sponsor, teams and competitors will be given every opportunity to further challenge their personal and physical limits while raising money for cancer care in the local community. “The third annual Grapes of Wrath will push the participants even harder this year and test their strength and teamwork,” said Laura-Lee Hogan, manager of stewardship

obstacles on the course.” Organizers of this event have always promised “there will be mud” on this course, and Hogan stresses that point once again this year. Organizers encourage area businesses to use the event as a team-building opportunity for their staff and a first responder and community safety challenge has been issued to local fire departments, EMS crews and correctional officers. These professionals will be competing for the title of: GOW – First Responders and Community Safety Champions. Competitors must be 14 years or older on race day (Saturday, Sept. 10, 2016) to be eligible to run. Racers will receive a dry-fit T-shirt and upon completion of the race, dog tags.

The Good Earth:
Dan Clost I spent a bit of time chatting with Michael Richardson the other day. For those of you not familiar with Mike, he is one of a few Board Certified Master Arborists in Canada. He started off with a B.Sc. in Forestry and moved up from there. When you look in the back of Michael’s rolling laboratory you will see instruments that some of the best-equipped university silviculture departments don’t have. Chatting with Mike about trees requires careful consideration. Like
Don’t feed the trees
most experts, he will listen to the “depth� of a question and then respond in kind. It’s similar to the trickle-down theory, if you give a nod at an inappropriate time, for example, when you hear phrases such as “fertilizer must be present in the ionic form�, that is when the downward flow stops. Gosh, GR, there are a lot of impressively polysyllabic constructs (really, really big words) and this Richardson fellow knows them... all. Fortunately, Mike and I have known each for a very long time so he starts with “tree�, “root�, “soil�, “hot� and so on. Here is the reason for calling Mike and the reason for penning this column. After our recent drought, we received a disturbing number of telephone calls asking us how much fertilizer trees should be given now to help them recover. One caller had already fed his Japanese maple a whole package of the blue watersoluble fertilizer and wanted to make sure that was enough. Another had seen the leaves on his oak tree turn papery brown and wanted to green them up again. GR, these examples are not meant to poke fun at
anyone; in fact, they’re here to illustrate a line of reasoning which many tree-lovers share. Water equals food which means drought equals starvation, i.e. if p then q. This conditional reasoning makes sense only if q were true; and it is not. However, we’re digressing into a moot area. Established trees have been through many droughts and survived. Unless something traumatic has happened to cause a weakness, they will survive again. Recently planted trees and shallow rooted plants will clearly benefit from supplemental watering. (Check the archives of this newspaper for Vol10 No29 Help Your Trees Now.) For the moment, you can give a quick check of moisture by digging a 12� hole at the tree’s drip line (the outer circumference of the canopy.) If the soil is cool and moist, you’re good; if not read the referenced column. Perhaps the most damaging factor of this
drought is not the lack of precipitation but the heat wave that accompanied it. The ground is hot, way too hot. If you’re living down in The County ( capitalized because while we all live in a county somewhere, only the folks in Prince Edward identify themselves as being “County-ites�) and have recently planted cedars, you’re looking at multi-hued hedgerows of brown, grey and white but not green. Cedars are shallow rooted and those roots are cooking. Cool the soil by mulching to a depth of 3�; don’t use heat absorbing black coloured material. Mike says that lowering the soil temperature will result in increased white root growth which will allow the tree to take up

water and nutrients again. So, when can we fertilize our trees? Perhaps, with older healthy trees, you might not. For young trees, newly planted trees, and those with environmental challenges, e.g. urban trees, wait for the autumnal equinox- a good indicator of when nutrients will be channeled to root development. For some trees that don’t recognize autumn, e.g. Gleditsia, aka honey locust, never fertilizer in the fall. If you do, be ready to prune out a lot of winter kill next spring. By the way, Mike does advise using a fish/kelp supplement at any time- think of this as a vitamin shot not a meal. For now, hug a tree just don’t feed it.

Lots of good fish in the bay By Jack Evans Glenora - The towering four-storey limestone structure at the Glenora Ferry south side is historically and architecturally significant. But the work of the Glenora Fisheries Research Station, which it has been for almost 60 years, is not confined to the building. Operating a fleet of boats from open steel fishing boats to a 65-foot tug-trawler especially designed for the wild waters of Lake Ontario, the station’s work spans the entire Bay of Quinte with annual on-site research and monitoring, plus, in conjunction with New York State fisheries officials, the entire Lake Ontario. Regular checks of water temperatures and nettings to assess the numbers, sizes, health and variety of fish species and bottom creatures are made every year, giving the Glenora station the most impressive collection of fish data in North America over its close to 60 years, says Steve McNevin, operations supervisor. In mid-August, the station sends out crews to specifically monitor the Bay of Quinte, making trawler net runs and planting gillnets near both Belleville and Trenton. The results, said McNevin, are impressive. Said McNevin: “We caught 19 different species at Belleville and 18 different species at Trenton which really shows the diversity and health of the Bay of Quinte fish community.” To reinforce that, during the morning trawling session on Aug. 15, he looked at the load in the net and commented: “The Bay of Quinte has a huge biomass of fish.”
The monitoring follows a set system to maintain accurate comparisons. The same type of nets, the same time of year, the same location and the same number of trawler runs. The abundance of carp and gar pike was obvious. Neither species is recorded, just measured and dumped back into the bay. But all the rest are important either as sport or commercial fishing or feed for larger fish. This applies particularly to small species like alewife, gizzard shad and spotted shiner. Another significant indicator is the number of young fish, one year to three years old, especially walleye, which forecasts good fishing for the next few years. In the bay, “We had two record-setting years for young walleye the past two years. The numbers of young walleye this year are not as high, but this is not unusual as walleye spawning success varies greatly from year to year,” he added. He predicts an outstanding year for anglers for 2017, when the fisheries station marks its 60th year. Species at Trenton include: walleye, yellow perch, alewife, gizzard shad, spotted shiner, brown bullhead, trout perch, white perch, white bass, rock bass, pumpkinseed, bluegill, largemouth bass, freshwater drum (sheepshead), logperch, white sucker , channel catfish and round goby (invasive species.) The list for Belleville reads exactly the same. He also commented: “The bay is loaded with largemouth bass.” As the station’s 45-foot fishing trawler, itself 50 years old, churned on one of its four regular quarter-mile runs, McNevin reviewed that in the 1950s, nutrient loads turned the bay’s wa-

ter murky, cutting out sunlight from the bottom to nourish plant growth. With the Great Lakes cleanup in full swing, the process got a boost from the influx of zebra mussels. They sucked up the algae and helped clear the water for larger fish. Both ducks and whitefish quickly adapted to eating the mussels. All this reduced the impact of what at one point was considered a serious problem. The bay is now a healthy, productive body of water, albeit with zebra mussels still festooned on dock legs, boat motor components left in the water and water intake pipes. A wide range of skill sets is involved in these operations. Al McIntosh, a former commercial fisherman, is licensed skipper for the tug, needing to set the right courses and speeds to set the nets and haul them in. The crew managing the nets must have
highly specific experience and training as they wind the net off and on the spools. They then dump the haul into large buckets for icing, sorting and storing. All specimens are taken back to the station for laboratory analysis, sizing, weight, diet, age (from scales and an inner ear stone) and more. A battery of professional fish biologists are involved in this process, part of the station’s full time complement of 20 people, doubled in the summer with student help. Current projects for the Glenora Station include a new one, trying to restore deep water cisco, once a native species in the lake. Others are Atlantic salmon restoration, American eel restoration, Lake Trout restoration, round whitefish-spawning population study and Hamilton Harbour walleye reintroduction.
Chambers call for strategy to support health science sector At a time when the province is trying to address the major challenge of fiscal sustainability, The Bay of Quinte Regional Chambers of Commerce are suggesting a different approach to fixing the province’s health care system and putting patients first. In a recently released report, the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce and the Belleville Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Ontario Chamber of Commerce are calling on the provincial government to turn its focus from budget cuts to empowering the health care system to become an economic and productivity driver that is responsive to emerging innovation being developed in our own province. The report, Adopting Our Advantage: Supporting a thriving health science sector in Ontario, is the third in a series of health policy reports and is part of the OCC’s year-long Health Transformation Initiative. The chambers are calling on the government to open the doors to
the wealth of talented researchers, scientists, and entrepreneurs in the health space. The report agues that the province can do a better job of empowering these innovators and connecting them with health care providers, so that all points in the health sector are working together to improve patient care. The appointment of a Chief Innovation Strategist by the government of Ontario would begin that conversation. “In order for the government to receive a return on its investments in research, and patients in the Quinte Region to gain access to the kind of innovations that will improve their quality of life, there needs to be a unified strategy to support Ontario’s health science sector,” said Suzanne Andrews, General Manager of the Quinte West Chamber, in a statement. “We are not supporting our own discoveries. If we were able to change that, it would have a great impact on our provincial economy, on our provincial health
industry and on our local health care system.” The provincial government invests a significant amount of money into research funding, education and seed development funds, the report notes. However, the chambers believe, if the companies that emerge from this environment are unable to access the markets or resources they need to scale their business, they are more likely to leave the province causing Ontario taxpayers to lose out. “With innovation being identified as a priority at both the provincial and federal levels, now is the time for government to adopt a cohesive strategy to address the challenges facing this sector,” said Bill Saunders, CEO of the Belleville Chamber. “We need to take hold of the opportunity presented by our strengths in health sciences that will lead to a self-sustaining, vibrant health economy.”

About Glenora Fisheries research By Jack Evans The Glenora Research Station near Picton was buit in 1872 as an iron foundry to make water turbines. During the First World War it was converted to a munitions plant. Purchased by the province in 1922 it was turned into a fish hatchery for whitefish and lake trout until 1957 when it was dedicated to fisheries research. At the time, commercial fishing was a major industry in Prince Edward County, Brighton area and other communities in the eastern Lake Ontario area. Major renovations to modernize the facility were made in 1986 though 1989, during which time the staff was housed elsewhere. Now part of the recently renamed Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, the staff looks after water quality and
fisheries health throughout Lake Ontario, the Bay of Quinte, East Lake and West Lake and the St. Lawrence River. There remain some 46 active commercial fishing operators in the area with an annual harvest estimated at $450,00, mostly yellow perch and sunfish. There is also a major impact to the economy from sport fishing with at least one major fishing competition per week most of the summer, bringing in entry fees and visitors from far and wide. Anglers catch more than 50,000 walleye annually in the Bay of Quinte. A major new addition to the station’s resources is a 65-foot steel trawler, built in Wheatley, Ont. and coming to Picton to allow safe travel on Lake Ontario and featuring high-tech special equipment.
