Codrington Farmers’ Market serves up family fun and community spirit BY SARAH HYATT
Codrington – The Codrington Farmers’ Market has had a remarkable season so far says Liana Palmer. On Sunday, Aug. 27, a massive and colourful crowd could be seen at the market from afar, with Family Fun Day in motion, the Brighton Public Library on site and as vendors, musicians and artists shared their work and goods. The market is in its third year of operation. “We’re getting crowds of people like this every week, even when we’re not doing special events,” said Palmer, one of eight committee members who oversee the market’s operations. “I think people are getting into the habit of coming here, you could say we’ve got some regulars now.” Family Fun Day invited kids and families to join in some healthy playtime at the market, as the famous bouncy castles were set up and with activities like face painting. The Codrington Community Association used to host the event on a Saturday during the summer, but for the last couple years the event has ran in conjunction with the market, with the hopes it will bring more people to visit the vendors, musicians and artists, said Palmer. “We like to attract people of all ages, so events like these help,” she added. The Brighton Public Library with a used book sale event also added to the crowd Sunday. “We’re not too dependent on highway traffic as a lot of the people who are travelling to and from Toronto, they’re travelling later in the day,” said Palmer. “We’ve got people from Brighton, Warkworth, Wooler and Castleton, it’s a big circle we’re pulling from.” The market has evolved into a place where people can enjoy a Sunday morning coffee and a few performances from musicians, before doing a little shopping for some fresh produce or sweet treats. Sometimes people dance too. “Terry Brooks has done a wonderful job putting together an exciting lineup of local musicians,” said Palmer. “A lot of people just come to sit and listen to the musicians. Not everyone who comes every weekend buys something and that’s OK.” A group from a nearby nursing home visited the market recently just to get out for the morning and enjoy some coffee, foods and the music, noted Palmer. The idea behind the market has always been that it’s a place where everyone is welcome, this is place where people can come and enjoy the arts and
their community, said Palmer. The market has grown to offer shoppers everything from fruits and vegetables, to baked goods, pre-cooked meals, soaps and more. This season the market is 100 per cent full on vendors. “We’re really happy with our great vendors,” said Palmer, who added a lot of the products people have been waiting for, like apples and corn are now up for grabs. The Artisan Market, which runs in conjunction with the farmers’ market on the last Sunday of every month, has also grown with more than 20 artists. For many like the Barnhorsts, they spend every Sunday at the market celebrating family. Eric Barnhorst and his eight-year-old daughter Rose sell produce from the Eva Mae Farm. “She’s the most dedicated little helper,” he said. “She’s here every week handling the cash box and wants to help out, I don’t force her to come.” Barnhorst is also one of this year’s new vendors. He’s been offering his Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) members market-style pickup in Codrington. “He’s had a lot of different produce that’s been really popular,” said Palmer. The idea behind the CSA boxes is people sign up for a membership and they get a share of the farm’s produce. People pick up a fresh box of whatever’s best from the garden each week, explains Barnhorst. Barnhorst grows about 25 to 30 types of vegetables and fruits each year, with several different varieties of each one. “You really get to develop a close relationship with your customers this way,” he said. Among some of the big hits so far are Barnhorst’s patty pan squash and his sweet salad turnips. He’ll have the turnips again in the fall. “This is a great market, it’s always busy with lots of customers and lots of friendly faces,” he

Renovation project for future community hub to be Councillor Baker: ‘I called completed by April 2018 the ombudsman’ completion of the project around April next year. The main focus of the rough $1 million project is to expand the library. But, based on Sapounzi’s recent presentation, there may be a few other perks residents can look forward to. While documents and the tendering process are a little behind what was originally predicted by municipal staff earlier this year, Sapounzi confirmed during his visit the project is still on budget, hovering around the $1 million mark allin and actually a bit under. Council did commit the $1 million in this year’s budget for the project. The building has “very good bones” and this project really “cements its future as a multi-use facility for your community,” Sapounzi told those in attendance during his update. Across the province, Sapounzi said groups are repeatedly chal• Elite • Graber • Hunter Douglas lenged with creating smaller multiuse facilities like this one.

Brighton - In April 2018, residents should have an upgraded “community hub” at 35 Alice St. Paul Sapounzi, a managing partner with the Ventin Group Ltd., recently showcased working drawings for the renovation project during a visit with Brighton council and the community. “Where we are currently is we’ve completed our design work … and we are on our way to producing contract documents to go to tender in September,” said Sapounzi in his project update. Sapounzi estimates Brighton will be looking at a roughly eight-month construction period, which means residents and staffers should expect

cation and prominent design. From the images, the circulation desk will be quite large and round. The shift to incorporate these types of structures and in a round fashion helps with as much visual accessibility as possible, explains Sapounzi. Very often in these smaller multi-use buildings, there’s minimal staff, so the idea is this will help staff to have good eyes on all areas of the library, including the entrance, he said. “We’re going to be harvesting a very usable and valuable space out of the mezzanine that we have here, for more administrative space …” Sapounzi added. A new half-level staircase will also be added to the mezzanine area, from the existing office area, which should ensure the appropriate egress for safety requirements through the Ontario Building Code. “One of the most exciting areas of the project to me is what that lobby area is going to look like when you come into the facility,” said Sapounzi. It’s said the final result will be very “edgy,” with some new contemporary materials, ultimately bringing in some considerable colour and new lighting into the area. Though perhaps most important, as noted by Sapounzi, is that a number of barrier-free initiatives will be incorporated to bring “this building up to a high-level of human rights standards.” New accessible washrooms, as well as a remodel to the existing barrier-free washroom in the lobby area, new handrails and barrier-free ramps for the building are part of the redesign. The exterior of the building will also be getting a more “current and contemporary updated look,” which Sapounzi predicts will “totally transform the nature of this entire block and will very clearly indicate this is the community hub for this area.” The elements closest to the street level will be the focus of improvements, and things like a new canopy element will be added to create a more “welcoming and protective” entrance. Mayor Mark Walas appeared pleased with Sapounzi’s presentation. “Seems like we’ve come quite a long way now and we’re getting into the final stages, where we’ll actually very shortly see some work in this building before the end of this calendar year,” he said. Sapounzi stressed market conditions should be “excellent” for September, when the tender goes out. With people looking for new work and this type of work being desirable, as it can be sustained throughout even bad weather, he’s hopeful Brighton will secure some strong local

Brighton – Following the Aug. 22 meeting, Councillor Steven Baker has gone on the public record informing residents he was the individual who filed a complaint with the Ombudsman of Ontario. It was the right thing to do, said Baker in a later interview. “You should be aware that Councillor [John] Martinello and I were the excluded councillors,” he wrote on his Facebook page after the Aug. 22 meeting. The Ombudsman of Ontario’s findings following the investigation into Brighton council were shared publicly via correspondence in the Aug. 22 agenda. In that correspondence, Paul Dubé outlined council contravened the Municipal Act and its procedural bylaw, by discussing and approving a proposal for a company interested in purchasing municipal land, through a series of phone calls ahead of a special meeting. Dubé said the serial phone calls between Mayor Mark Walas and four councillors constituted a meeting, which was closed to the public. “I hope everybody will learn from this and it won’t happen again,” said Baker. Baker said nothing about involvement in the phone calls at the Aug. 22 meeting and didn’t weigh in on the discussion, but he does worry how residents will look at council following this investigation. “We need to follow the rules,” he said. “What’s the old saying, the ends don’t justify the means.” Baker said he wanted council to have the opportunity to speak to the report at the Aug. 22 meeting, but believes residents also have a right to know what and how this happened. He later shared this message via social media, “I have no problem informing you that it was I who filed the complaint with the ombudsman’s office. As a first-time councillor, I have done my best to try to understand how things work. It is very important to me that council is seen as acting in the best interest of the taxpayer at all times [and] that the business of the municipality is conducted in a clear and transparent manner.” He also shared a link to the ombudsman’s report with his post. “A special council meeting could have been called,” said Baker.

Brighton’s Own
Living her second life in nature, and photographing her “neighbours” Born in Toronto, Conlin settled into 20 years as a sales representative with the Mars (chocolate) company, covering the territory between Lindsay and Brockville. Two important things resulted from that work experience: She acquired a joy for long drives, and fell in love with Brighton along the way. In 2002, she and her husband moved here to be closer to both her mother and mother-in-law. From the latter, the Conlins acquired and moved into a cottage in the lakeside residential area of Presqu’ile Park. Upon retiring two years ago, Conlin dove into her new life: “I have always had a passion for photography,” said Conlin. “I am self-taught. And I have always loved owls. They are so beautiful, so majestic. I like inflight shots. It took me five years to get a great grey in flight just north of Brighton. They are very hard to find although they do come here approximately every four years depending 220 Campbell Road, Warkworth on the climate.” Conlin soon joined Instagram and (GPS - Trent Hills) amassed more than 6,000 followers. August and September Her first show was in a Toronto studio where she sold 20 pictures. At Friday and Saturday 9am - 4pm that time, experts told her that her work was very special.

art at Applefest, Cambellford’s Spark Festival and in Warkworth where one of her owl pictures won most popular photo. She also sells her work at Christmas at Presqu’ile. “The secret to photography, “said Conlin, “is to be totally organized and prepared to take the picture. The big thing is patience. I want the picture to be interesting. And I like the excitement and anticipation of what I will get. It took me several trips at four in the morning to Algonquin Park, looking for pine martins. Eventually, I photographed two of them playing in a tree. They were wonderful shots. It takes perseverance, but it is all made easier by the fact that I am a staunch naturalist.” Conlin clearly loves animals, and feels blessed to be living where she is literally surrounded by them in their natural environment: The short list includes turtles, porcupines, fishers, deer, and of course her specialty: birds, and especially owls. The latter is obvious as her whole house is decorated with photos taken of practically every type of owl from barred to snowy to great grey. Most of her pictures have been snapped in Presqu’ile Park. “For me, it is a continuing learning experience. (Laughing) I did know what a pine martin was, but I go everywhere that people tell me to go.” Meanwhile, Conlin is involved in the community in such august commissions as the Barn Project under the umbrella of Brighton Digital Archives: “A group of people want
to keep the memory of what the old barns look like before they (gradually over time) fall down. The aim is to preserve the photos of some 180 barns in the Brighton area. And I am looking forward to doing more for the community.” Conlin herself captured the charm of 35 barns. You have an opportunity to see her fine work at the next Applefest and also at Christmas at Presqu’ile Park. Meanwhile, to view her spectacular photos go to cindyconlinphotography.com.

Brighton — It’s possible council could be getting into some hot water with the province following decisions around Brighton’s wastewater environmental assessment (EA). At least, that’s the impression attendees were left with after council’s latest meeting. The town’s lagoon-based sewage treatment system has dominated discussion among councillors for months now. “I believe now more than ever, we need to listen very strongly to the MOE and commence with the Schedule B EA,” said Mayor Mark Walas. Walas stood alone at the latest meeting. Following correspondence from consultants who’ve undertaken the EA and correspondence from the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC), including from various ministry representatives, Walas spearheaded a motion for council to rescind a previous resolution and for council to move forward with the recommended Schedule B EA. In summary, Walas’ motion was shaped considering the ministry’s recent correspondence, which supported consultants’ recommendations for the town’s current wastewater system and also, considering Brighton remains under a provincial officer’s order for noncompliance. The correspondence clearly states the ministry supports the direction consultants have taken and “I read it as though they were recommending we get back on track and continue with what we were doing,” said Walas. “It basically implied that they were concerned there was really no technical information to support why council is changing direction at this time.” The message at the latest meeting was there is some concern from
the province, regarding the delay in “implementing corrective measures.” Throughout the meeting, there were also multiple references by Walas and others, that there would likely be some additional information coming forward in the future. Such mentions and remarks went a little like, “with also what we received today from legal.” As a result, Walas took the approach of pushing for council to both accept the Schedule B EA and also pushed for council to execute recommendations of consultants, following the completion of that process. Previous to this, council asked J.L. Richards & Associates, the consultants handling the EA, to explain the process to switch to a Schedule C assessment. Further, council insisted the Schedule B EA be put into “abeyance.” Consultants and the ministry have since responded to council’s decision, though not all documentation has been made public. Those responses sparked a great deal of commentary recently. A Schedule C assessment, as outlined by consultants, is generally undertaken when looking at constructing new facilities, like a new mechanical plant. With this said, consultants determined this wasn’t necessary early on, saying there was no need for increased capacity in Brighton. As a result, consultants proposed improvements to the town’s current system to address issues such as compliance. Some councillors however, have made it clear they believe capacity should be looked at further. Walas’s motion, which originally was put forth as a notice of motion by the mayor and Deputy Mayor Laura Vink, was pushed forward at the latest meeting and put to a vote. The motion was defeated 4-1, with councillors Steven Baker, John Martinello, Roger McMurray
and Brian Ostrander voting against it. Vink and Coun. Mary Tadman were absent. In recent months, councillors like Martinello continue to insist the best way forward is a mechanical plant, citing worries about capacity. Ostrander has long said he wants a solution that addresses current concerns and one that is also “proactive.” Baker reiterated his concerns at the latest meeting; stressing council still has questions. “In my opinion, we were stonewalled …” he said. “We have pounded and pounded on this. We have done, in my opinion, everything we reasonably could to try and make a difference [with the lagoon].” The EA was initiated with the hopes it would help with compliance. The primary issue has been elevated ammonia concentrations. Each of the four councillors opposed to Walas’ motion echoed similar concerns about wanting to see working examples of technologies recommended by consultants, particularly in Ontario. “We’ve only heard that it works overseas,” said Baker. “I’ve been reluctant and I believe, a vocal opponent to a mechanical plant, but the more I hear and the more I see, I think we have no other choice. I think that everything that’s been thrown at that lagoon, over the last 10, 15 years or longer hasn’t worked.” Others similarly expressed concerns with “experiments” and spending $6.5 million, to only continually face the same issues, as their reasons for wanting to investigate a Schedule C assessment. But while many stressed the importance of a guaranteed fix, Walas echoed engineers’ previous message that suppliers offer performance guarantees.

OMB hearing scheduled for October SARAH HYATT
Brighton — Brighton council is heading for another Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing. At a recent planning meeting of council, Stephen Ashton, manager of planning, building and community development for the municipality reported the OMB has set a hearing date. “Perhaps we should start considering budgeting for certain amounts for OMB hearings, given the fact that we seem to be running into more and more complications these days,” said Coun. Brian Ostrander, following news of the hearing date. Back in June, CAO Bill Watson notified council publicly Brighton had received notice of another appeal, this time pertaining to a severance application that council had denied in previous months. Jacqueline Arbuckle and Christine Herrington filed this appeal, after council denied their consent application for the division of 60 Sanford St. into two residential building lots. The initial proposal was first brought to council in January. The proposed severance would create one lot accessing Sanford, while the severed portion at the rear of the property would access Dean Drive. This will be the fourth time since 2015 a decision of council’s has been appealed to the OMB. Staff is estimating costs for the one-day hearing at about $10,950. About 20 per cent of that figure has been set aside for any unexpected expenses. A little
more than $3,000 has been allocated for legal expenses and another $5,000-$6,000 for costs associated with Landmark Associates Limited planning consultant Darryl Tighe. Tighe wrote the recommendation report for this specific application. Ashton said Tighe’s estimate for services was provided in a range, but for budget purposes the upper limit of the range was used. As reported back in June, Watson wanted staff to try and meet with appellants, with the hopes a resolution could be reached before going to the OMB. It appears that didn’t work. In his initial planning report, Tighe recommended the application and that Brighton grant provisional consent, subject to a list of conditions. Council thereafter however, heard from residents with objections and concerns to the consent application. The planning report in May, following council’s request for further study also included a petition by residents of Dean Drive. As noted in previous reports, one of the main issues raised was the cul-de-sac was undersized, which is said results in traffic issues and access by service vehicles. Because of this, there were concerns expressed that creating additional access onto the Dean Drive cul-de-sac would increase issues. In Tighe’s later analysis and comments, it was highlighted the original intent of Dean Drive was for a temporary cul-de-sac and to have the road extended westwards to provide for more development. However, development further west in the area of Rosslyn Drive “has impeded
the original vision of extending Dean Drive, although there remains some limited opportunities to achieve this,” he outlined. The consultant offered council a couple recommendations in his May report on the application, including again approval, taking into account previous conditions and direction, noting this would prevent extension of Dean Drive to service potential future development between the end of Dean Drive and Rosslyn Estates, if someone assumed those lands. He outlined council could also choose to deny the application on the basis it would prevent such an extension and associated redevel-
“The decisions are recommendations of a consulting engineer, who’s a professional in the practice of sewage lagoons,” stressed CAO Bill Watson. “If we choose not to take his recommendations, where are we going to get recommendations?” Sewage treatment is a biological process, whether it’s a plant or a lagoon, Watson said. The recommendations are just that — these are recommendations, not designs, he continued. J.L. Richards has provided several options for consideration when it comes to technology, he added. The important thing learned is that experts engaged in the EA, along with the MOECC agree, the lagoon is functioning to some degree and there is equipment and technology that within the current framework — for a lot less than a plant — can do the job, insists Watson. “On one parameter, which is ammonia, we’re having trouble and we’ve had trouble for a very long time,” he said. In light of correspondence, council has asked a solicitor visit as soon as possible. Council also further chose to “reject” correspondence recently

Thomas Patenall paddles his way to provincials SARAH HYATT
Brighton – Fourteen-year-old Thomas Patenall found his passion for canoeing about two years ago. In mid-August, he returned home from his first provincial competition with both a silver and bronze medal. With his two recent wins at provincials and as his first big competition, Thomas is pretty “happy and proud,” though humbled, he said. Thomas recently won silver in the U15 two-person canoe (C2) 500-metre race and bronze in the U17 one-person canoe (C1) 1,000-metre race at the Provincial Sprint Canoe/Kayak Championships held in Ottawa. Thomas was the youngest competitor in the 1,000-metre race. The Grade 10 East Northumberland Secondary School (ENSS) student and his partner, Declan Forgie, secured silver in the A-finals division for the C2 race with a time of 2:08. Thomas took home bronze with a time of 5:15. He also competed in a 1,000-metre race with three others at the provincials, with a time of 4:44, which earned the team fifth place. It was a tight race, said Thomas. The third, fourth and fifth place participants were neck-and-neck and only two seconds apart at the finish line, he said. Thomas made it to provincials after

Thomas Patenall displays his silver and bronze medals he won in canoeing at provincials recently. Sarah Hyatt/Metroland competing in the Western Ontario Division (WOD) qualifier in mid-July. Thomas placed fifth out of eight competitors there in the 1,000-metre canoe race. The young athlete started canoeing after participating in a recreational camp in Cobourg. “I saw the people competing out on the water and I thought, I want to try that,” he said. Thomas planned to compete at the WOD qualifier last year, but he got sick right before the event. “It was a really big race, too. Something like 32 people were racing,” he recalled. After a bit of time on the water, Thomas decided he preferred canoeing to kayaking. “I like it because it’s a bit more of a challenge to me,” he said. “It’s a good way to be active. I’m training for something and pushing to get better.” Being out on the water is what it’s all about for Thomas, but getting started this year was a bit of a challenge, he admits. With a lot of heavy rainfall, the water was high for practising. He spent a lot of time when it was thundering or raining practising under tents on the water. Thomas has also committed to winter training, as part of his plan to improve as an athlete. Among his future goals, Thomas wants to improve on his times during next year’s qualifiers and he plans to compete in the provincials again.
The Grade 10 student admits he’s not anticipating it will be easy, considering he also doesn’t live close to where he paddles. Thomas is a member of the Pickering Rouge Canoe Club. Previously, he was a member of the Cobourg Dragon Boat and Canoe Club. Thomas has been working with his coach to develop a plan for workouts through the winter. He plans on making lots of trips to the YMCA and his agenda includes everything from cardio to weightlifting exercises. The young competitor will also be travelling to Pickering three to four times a week and to the Toronto area, where there’s a pool in the off-season that athletes can use to practise. For next year, Thomas is eager to make it to nationals. He also hopes to compete at the Ontario Summer Games. In March 2018, Thomas will travel to Florida for a training camp, where he’ll be working to refine his skills doing activities like 15-kilometre paddles daily. He will be training with Olympic coaches and also doing his school work at the same, including writing his literacy test there. His coach, Rebecca Fanok, recommended him for the camp. Thomas’ parents, Jamie and Deanne, are very proud. “He’s put in a lot of hard work, and we want to help him with his goals and support him. This is a good physical activity,” said Jamie.

COUNTY UNVEILS CONCEPT DRAWINGS FOR NEW GPL
The vision for the new Golden Plough Lodge (GPL) long term care home was unveiled at the August meeting of County Council, as staff and consultants shared concept drawings for the replacement home, to be built by 2025. Council directed staff to move forward with hiring architect and project management services for the official design and build, which is anticipated to cost just over $40 million. “While this represents a concept only at this point, it is wonderful to see the new facility taking shape,” stated Warden Mark Walas. “This new home will meet best practices in long term care, and create an environment where our residents can continue to live with purpose, choice, dignity and respect.” Rules & Tips Tie your brush into bundles no longer than 3 ft., and with no material larger than 2” diameter.
Each bag/bundle must weigh less than 40 pounds (18 kg).
There is no limit to the number of paper leaf & yard waste bags or bundles of brush for collection.

Kawartha Pine Ridge school board announces new education director BY SUE DICKENS
Peterborough – The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board today announced the appointment of Dr. Jennifer Leclerc as the board’s new director of education. Leclerc has served as superintendent of education: teaching and learning since joining the board in January 2010. The announcement was made Aug. 23. She was appointed interim director of education in May. “Jennifer is an accomplished educator and provincial leader in student achievement. We feel incredibly fortunate that she will be able to bring her wealth of professional and administrative skills to her new role,” said Cathy Abraham, board chairperson. “An innovative educator, Jennifer has extensive experience in developing and supporting strategies to ensure student success — the main priority for our board," she added in a press release. A Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in Curriculum, Teaching and Learning, Leclerc’s research focused explicitly on exploring the components of effective
teaching practices, beliefs about ability and disability, and the impact on teaching and learning using quantitative and qualitative research methods. With more than 30 years of experience in education, prior to joining the board Leclerc held a number of administrative and leadership positions with the Durham Catholic District School Board and York University. She also previously served as a student achievement officer at the ministry of education, where she was instrumental in leading a number of large school boards toward improved student achievement and instructional leadership. “I am incredibly honoured and humbled by this new opportunity the board has given me as director of education,” stated Leclerc. "I believe this is truly an exciting time to be a leader in the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board ... I greatly look forward to working in collaboration with the board, our excellent staff, supportive community partners, and most importantly, all our wonderful students and parents, as we pursue success and achievement for all." She begins her new role Sept. 1.

Mowat closing gap on Sandercock in Pro Late Mods at Brighton Speedway Brighton – The 50th Anniversary Season at Brighton Speedway continued on Saturday night with a full card of action featuring the Vanderlaan Building Supply Pro Late Models, OilGARD Anti-Rust Canadian Modifieds, Brighton Automotive Pro Stocks, and Bill’s Johns Comp presented by Behan Construction, Stix and Stones and Community Press.
Mowat Motors To Second Win Brandon Mowat (No. 46) entered the night needing a solid run and a little help to close the gap to point leader Charlie Sandercock (No. 57) in the Vanderlaan Building Supply Pro Late Model division. Mowat started on the front row alongside Caley Weese (No. 77) in the 30 lap feature and showed the field early that he would be the driver to beat. Using the bottom line he ran consistent laps and led comfortably. The race was marred by multiple cautions giving Kyle Sopaz (No. 12) the opportunity to challenge for the lead. The pair put on an exciting side by side battle for much of the second half of the race with Sopaz leading on lap 22. Mowat returned to the top spot one lap later and set sail for his second win of the season. Sopaz finished second ahead of Steve Baldwin (No. 5), Phil Potts (No. 29) and Austin King (No. 89). Point leader Sandercock struggled after being involved in a pair of incidents and allowed
next five circuits. Josh French (No.08) meanwhile had worked his way to the second position and slipped by Humphry on lap 7. His car was hooked up and was dominate throughout the race as he drove to the win over Humphry. The victory capped off a comeback night for the team as mechanical problems in hot laps sidelined French from competing in heat competition. Nathan Day (No. 14), filling in for Matthew Moore drove to a third place finish ahead of Tyler French (No. 0) and outside pole sitter Cosstick.
Mowat to gain ground in the championship chase.
Hennessy Holds Off Handley The OilGARD Anti-Rust Canadian Modifieds 25 lap feature was a battle of attrition as a number of caution flags slowed the race. Doug O’Blenis (No. 32) and Derek Bowers (No. 03) led the field to the green flag. O’Blenis jumped out to the early lead and maintained control throughout the first 12 laps. On a mid-race restart he relinquished the top spot to point leader Andrew Hennessy (No. 87), who had rallied from an early race crash. Kraig Handley (No. 91) followed Hennessy into the second position and challenged for the lead in the closing laps. When the checkered flag flew though, it was Hennessy back in victory lane. Handley crossed the line second while Rich Sanders (No. 29) finished a solid third. Leslie Turcotte-Mowat rebounded from an opening lap spin to finish fourth while Mark Busscher (No. 84) was fifth.
Ramsay Rebounds In a season that has seen many highs and lows for Justin Ramsay (No. 03) the defending Brighton Automotive Pro Stock champion was looking to get back to his winning ways in the 20 lap feature. James Boyer (No. 6) and Brian Cross (No. 08) started on the front row, but were quickly overtaken by Chris Dorland (No. 14). By
Up Next – Ultramar CST Labour Day Classic Weekend The Vanderlaan Building Supplies Pro Late Model Division saw Brandon Mowat (No. 46) take his second win on the season over Kyle Sopaz (No. 12) in an exciting side by side battle for much of the second half of the race Saturday, August 26th at Brighton Speedway.

lap five, point leader Doug Anderson (No. 72), worked his way into the top spot moving Dorland back to second. Ramsay began to make his presence felt just two laps later by taking over the runner-up position. One lap later he worked to the inside of Anderson and claimed the lead. The two drivers raced closely over the final 12 laps with Ramsay taking the win over Anderson. Mike Freeman (No. 51) kept the
top two in sight and finished third while Austin Reid (No. 85) and outside pole sitter Cross finished fourth and fifth.
First For French The Bill’s Johns Comp 4 feature was led to the green flag by Kevin Hertendy (No. 7) and Bella Cosstick (No. 24), but it was Jeff Humphry (No. 17) that would take early command of the 15 lap race. He jumped to the lead on lap one and stayed at the front for the

Wanted man ‘Richie’ Vader back behind bars BY SUE DICKENS, STEPHEN PETRICK
ment to his ankle – one of the OPP canine dogs reportedly bit him while he was on the loose and he may require stitches. It will also allow time for police and the courts to get a better grasp on all the charges, Kort said. He suspects most of the “violent” charges have been laid by police already, but there could be additional charges related to thefts. By Thursday, “all the charges will be before the courts and we’ll know how we want to proceed,” Kort told Metroland Media, outside the courtroom. As Vader appeared via video in front of Justice Sam Cureatz, he appeared tired and scruffy. Yet he understood the court proceedings and was given conditions to not contact two people, whose names are protected by a publication ban. Kort said that Vader has agreed to be detained while the matter plays out in court. He declined to shed light on conversations he’s had with his client, but said he expects the court proceedings to be complex, given that Vader is expected to soon be facing a long list of charges. “It will take a while,” he said.
Belleville – The Trenton man who eluded local police for four days while on the run from what police allege was a violent encounter with his former girlfriend, was brought to ground Saturday night and appeared in court Monday, Aug. 28. Richard “Richie” Vader had dodged police in a mad scramble to avoid capture since last Wednesday when police went after him in Quinte West to arrest him on an assault charge. Ontario Provincial Police had their Repeat Offender ROPE squad on the case, canine and ERT specialists, a helicopter and more in the hunt for Vader, who has a long criminal record and was on parole for gun charges on which he was convicted in 2011. Vader was the focus of an extensive search that went from Quinte West to Thursday Campbellford, on to Stirling-Rawdon, into and out of the city of Belleville and finally ended when the OPP canine unit ran him down in a field outside the hamlet of Wallbridge, in Quinte West. Vader had the town of Campbellford virtually on lockdown when he crashed a stolen vehicle near the World’s Finest chocolate factory, fleeing on foot into the brush and toward Ferris Provincial Park last Thursday. When night closed in he had still not be located and later police said Vader made his way to a farm south of Ferris Provincial Park where he allegedly stole an ATV. That ATV was then recovered (still running) in a field in the Hoards Station area of Stirling/Rawdon. He then stole a truck, police said. By Saturday morning, he had made his wayinto Belleville, where he once again stayed ahead of police who had spotted him in the city limits. “The domestic related charges that he is wanted for stem from an incident in the Quinte West area as well as several other charges incurred recently,” said Const.. Stephen Bates, media relations officer with the Northumberland OPP. Social media postings have kept Vader’s pursuit alive on the Internet. (See sidebar) Vader appeared for a brief arraignment hearing, via Richard Vader, 33, right, and his ‘Cover photo’ from social video, at a Belleville court on Monday, Aug. 28. His lawyer, Pieter Kort, asked for the case to return to media posts shortly after he was released from jail in 2016 after serving time for gun-related offences. court Thursday, Aug. 31.

Vader is no stranger to jail – or guns BY CHRIS MALETTE
Richard Allen “Richie” Vader has a long criminal history, not the least of which involves a serious arrest in 2010 for possession of a small arsenal of weapons while he was restricted from so much as owning a BB gun. His criminal past goes a long way to explaining why OPP pulled out all the stops to bring him to ground over the past week, using SWAT style teams, dogs and helicopters in the hunt. Vader’s latest major criminal run-in came in 2010 when he was arrested while living in Cobourg for possessing an array of firearms and knives.
During a routine traffic stop for a burned-out headlight, in October, 2010, police stumbled on what would turn out to be a large cache of weapons and ammunition in Vader’s possession and in a later search of his home. During the stop, an officer noticed a metal ammunition box on the passenger floor, checked the box and found it was full of shotgun shells, said police. A subsequent search of the truck revealed three shotguns, four rifles, a revolver, more

than 322 rounds of ammunition and two knives. At the time, police said Vader, was arrested and, when they later searched his apartment, they seized a “fully-loaded revolver, ten boxes of assorted ammunition and seven more knives. At the time, he was under a court order not to possess weapons. The manhunt for Vader, now 33, was reminiscent of the spree almost 20 years ago when the infamous Ty Conn, who in
1999 managed to be one of very few criminals to escape from Kingston Penitentiary, stole vehicles in the Oak Hills area (near where he grew up on what is now Foxboro-Stirling Road) while on the run. Conn, a repeat offender and bank robber, eventually made his way to Toronto while on the lam and either killed himself or was shot in a basement apartment while police surrounded his location. His death was subject of books and a television documentary at the time, but while

Woman pleads guilty to animal cruelty involving horse NORTHUMBERLAND NEWS
Brighton - A Brighton woman has pleaded guilty to one count of animal cruelty after investigators discovered an Arabian horse in distress at her property. On March 26, 2016, an Ontario SPCA agent responded to a call about a German shepherd type dog with a serious facial injury. An inspection of a property led the agent to find several dogs and horses at a Brighton property. On May 27 of that year Linda Reddall, of Brighton, was charged with six counts of animal cruelty under the Ontario SPCA Act. The charges include two counts of permitting distress to an animal, two counts of failing to comply with standards of care — fail to provide adequate and appropriate medical attention, and two counts of failing to comply with standards of care — fail to provide care necessary for their general welfare. On June 19, 2017, Reddall pleaded guilty to one count of permitting an animal to be in distress. According to the OSPCA, Reddall, as an owner or custodian of an animal, did permit one Arabian type horse named Daisy to be in distress.
The horse was examined by a veterinarian and found to have a Body Condition Score (BCS) of 1 out of 9, rain rot on her back, severe dental issues, 10 times the normal parasite load and a grade 2 systolic heart murmur due to malnutrition. Due to the severity of her health, Daisy was humanely euthanized under recommendations from the veterinarian. Reddall was sentenced and is prohibited from owning or caring for any equine until such time as equine training courses are successfully completed as offered by the University of Guelph. She is also prohibited for a period of two years from owning, caring for or living with more than six canine animals. On July 31 of this year Reddall surrendered 11 horses and one German shepherd type dog into the care of the Northumberland Humane Society. “There is no excuse to let an animal go without proper veterinary medical attention,” said Kate Lennan, the general manager of the Northumberland Humane Society. “If you are unable to provide care for your animal, please contact the Northumberland Humane Society to discuss available options.” It is important to report animal cruelty by calling 310-SPCA.
Dirt biker dies after collision north of Havelock BILL FREEMAN
Havelock – A 36-year-old Scarborough off-road rider was killed after colliding with a tree on Devil’s 4 Mile Road about nine kilometers northeast of Havelock on Aug. 27. Peterborough County OPP say that a group of off-road riders were travelling together along Devil’s 4 Mile Road and after arriving at their destination discovered that one member of the group was not there. Two members of the group retraced their route and discov-
ered their missing friend along the side of the gravel road. The rider, David Spiecher, 36, of Scarborough was taken to Campbellford Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead. The accident occurred around 2 p.m. Sunday afternoon. Devil’s 4 Mile Road was closed for several hours Sunday while OPP investigators measured and documented the scene. The cause of the collision is still under investigation.
A glimpse of the Group of Seven in Havelock BILL FREEMAN
Havelock– Children here have been travelling around the country – without leaving the library – thanks to the magic of books and stories. The summer reading program celebrating Canada's 150th birthday has been teaching kids in HavelockBelmont-Methuen about the country. Their most recent stop “stop” was the far north. This bit of northern exposure was courtesy of local artist Sheila Johnston who gave them a glimpse of the majestic work of the Group of Seven and, in particular, its leader and financier Lawren Harris. Johnston wanted to help the children understand “how important the Group of Seven was to Canadian culture.” She helped them create their own Group of Seven-inspired painting. “There’s something about his paintings that are just glorious,” she says of Harris, the scion of the wealthy Harris Manufacturing clan. Harris’s paintings, particularly his northern landscapes, are vivid and defiantly modern and reflect some of things he absorbed during extended visits to Berlin.
“He went back to Europe a few times but he said he hated it because it was too crowded. He liked being up north in the wilderness.” Harris eventually severed his connection to the affluent and bohemian Toronto arts world he helped establish, moving first to the United States then Mexico and later to Vancouver while his work grew in stature. Harris died in 1970 at age of 84. His paintings have sold for record prices most notably 'Mountain Forms' which sold for $11.2 million in 2016. Canada didn’t have a real painting heritage until the Group of Seven, Johnston says. Artists painting just before them often mimicked established styles. “That’s what people did. They copied. (The Group of Seven) was a real break in terms of style and subject.” Johnston is inspired by their tradition if not their style. “It gives be a sense of place and I’m just proud. They did beautiful work," she said. adding it's important "that we remember we are Canadian

Quinte area will have a better view of 2024 eclipse BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – If you enjoyed the spectacle of the Aug. 21, 2017 eclipse, mark the date of April 8 in your 2024 calendar. That’s the date of the next significant eclipse to pass through North America and for the 2024 edition, the path of totality, as the complete eclipse is known, will pass directly through the Quinte region. The Aug. 21 eclipse’s path of totality passed through a stretch of the United States, from northern Oregon to South Carolina. In places along that path, news footage showed, darkness fell suddenly over the sky for a few minutes, giving cheering spectators a view of an awesome phenomenon ¬– one not rivalled on the continent since a similar event in 1979. But, eclipse fans in Belleville on Aug. 21 saw only a partial eclipse, as the moon only partially covered the sun when the eclipse hit its maximum at 2:34 p.m. Although some observed a faint drop in temperature, there was no obvious difference in the surrounding sky. On April 8, 2024, the eclipse’s path of totality is expected to travel north in a path that will take it over major U.S. cities such as Dallas, Indianapolis, Cleveland and Buffalo. Toronto will be on the outskirts of the path of totality, but the Quinte region will be right in the path, according to several Internet sources. The path will continue to travel through major centres in Quebec and the Maritimes, including Sherbrook and Fredericton. If the interest in the Aug. 21 event is any indication ¬ ¬– and if it turns out be a clear day ¬– the 2024 event will get plenty of people outside to witness the rare sight. A viewing party at Belleville’s Market Square on Aug. 21, organized by the Belleville Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, drew hundreds of people, who starred into the sky through telescopes, special glasses and even homemade devices. “I expected 20 to 30 people,” said Donald Town, who organized the event, as a lineup of people gathered around his telescope. “Looking around, I’m seeing close to 500.”
Top: Anthony Wilkins stares into a telescope at Belleville’s Market Square on Aug. 21 to see the eclipse. “It was cool,” he said. Bottom: Stuart Chalk and Roseann Olinyk try an interesting experiment with binoculars to see if they can get an image of the eclipse, as it passed over the Belleville sky. Stephen Petrick/Metroland

A day of relaxation at Grafton’s popular Ste. Anne’s Spa BY JOHN M. SMITH
613-969-8884
TICO#50023382
Our children gave us a wonderful gift of a relaxing day in the country at Ste. Anne’s Spa in Grafton, Ontario. Our all-inclusive package included the entire day at the spa, with a choice of treatments and group wellness classes, including yoga, meditation, hiking, and/or a stretch class. It also included the use of its saunas, pools, steam rooms, and relaxation lounges. Therefore, we could choose to be as active as we wished, or simply chill out, relax, and rejuvenate. Our day trip allowed us to arrive anytime after 8 am and to check out any time before 6 pm, so it’s definitely a full day. The package included a 3-course lunch and afternoon tea (and the tea session is more like another meal). It also included a choice of spa services, so my wife decided to try the 45 minute Minerva Aqua Polish, a treatment that began with a hydrotherapeutic massage and continued with a skin exfoliation and refinement using Dead Sea salts, and concluded with the application of hydrating lotions. I opted for the 1 hour Pure Aroma Massage, so my therapist prepared a customized blend of aromatic There are walking trails on the property at Ste.

Plow judge says Hastings plowing match one of the best BY JACK EVANS
Quinte West - Though 300 exhibitors for just about from jewellery to clothing, boots and food booths dotted the acreage at a farm here, from, the real work went on in a far corner, just an arrow’s shot away from a busy Highway 401 with traffic roaring by unknowing about the big scene. Typical of the season, a downpour of rain the previous day and night left plenty of muddy tracks despite efforts to cover it with fill, especially on opening day Wednesday. And to reinforce its point, the rain came back with another brief downpour in the middle of the afternoon. Despite that though, Thursday’s main roads and streets through the exhibitors village were much dryer. One man who had little time to take in the glitz of the exhibitors was Dale Drake from the hamlet of Woodville, near Lindsay. A man “born to the plow” he participated in plowing matches for many years, but for the past several years, because of failing health, he has been a judge. “The only similar event bigger than this in Ontario is the annual International Plowing Match,” he affirmed with some knowledge. ‘This draws a strong interest by horse-drawn plows and plowmen from across Ontario.” He assessed the field on the Sandercock farm as “quite good” for plowing conditions, but he added: “I feel sorry for the young people plowing up at the top. There’s a lot of rock up there.” That area was also used by media, senior and politician competitors during the event. Interest by today’s farming in the actual plowing

competitions is waning , he acknowledged, as he reviewed his score chart on a patch of plowing. But as long as there is a plowing match somewhere in Ontario, he remains game to be “outstanding in his field” with score chart and pen. Also enthusiastic about the event was Winston Roberts of Toronto. Roberts may be a big city man,
Dr. Suresh Appan & Associates
but he learned plowing and all other farm skills when his Irish grandparents bought a farm near Toronto when they came here. “It was just like being a hired hand,” he said of his youth-hood at his grandparents farm, ”only it was free labour.” As he tucked away his tractor and plow on a trailer and prepared to head to Ottawa for yet another
plowing match, Roberts reflected on the Trenton event. “I’ve done better and I’ve done worse.” He added: “There are 18 different points of judging, including straightness, depth, not too deep, not too shallow, no tractor tire marks where they shouldn’t be and more.” He noted that the huge field being used was once many small fields and the old fence rows underneath can cause a lot of problems, even heavy combining equipment going over it. Even under normal conditions, the plow blades get bounced around and must be readjusted every other furrow or so. He agreed that interest in the plowing competitions is waning, mostly because of the current trend toward “no till” farming. It helps conserve the soil, saves a lot of time for various processes to plow, disc and harrow and also extra equipment. But there remains a tradition across the province for most counties to hold their own separate plowing matches with participants eligible to enter the all Ontario, also called “International” plowing match. Surprisingly, the Hastings event drew a good number of horse-drawn entries and traditionally, always has. This year’s roster included a team of mules, recently purchased in Tennessee. Their proud youthful teamster, Trevor Boutilier of Belleville, said; “This is my first time to plow with mules, but I’ve used Belgians before. I think mules can outwork horses.” One particularly proud competitor was Dan Sandercock on whose family farm the event was being held for the second time. At the age of 90, he placed first in the senior plowman category, using his own antique tractor and antique plow.

There’s more to plowing than making a furrow BY JACK EVANS
Quinte West - If you turn over a patch of soil with a plow, you make a furrow. But, competitors in plowing matches know there are furrows and then there are furrows. Plowing competition enthusiast Winston Roberts comes from Toronto, but his Irish immigrant grandparents bought a farm near Toronto when they came and that’s where he spent his youthful years. It’s also where he learned to plow and do all other sorts of farm chores. “It was just like being a hired hand only free labour,” he quipped. As he tucked away his plow and tractor on a trailer and prepared to leave for the next plowing match near Ottawa, he reflected that this year’s match near Trenton was a pretty good one for him. “I’ve done better and I’ve done worse,” he said. “There are 18 different judging points to consider and you never know what’s under the ground when you start to plow.” He explained that the original fields were small in acreage, but with fence rows now ripped out, the hard-packed remains underneath can mess up a furrow easily. Or packed-down patches from heavy equipment. Even normal soil conditions mean plow
blades get bounced around and have to be readjusted every other furrow or so. Judges will note whether the furrow is dead straight, not too deep, not too shallow, no tire tracks where they shouldn’t be and various other points in the 18 points of judging. Most of those participating admit that regular plowing competition interest seems to be dying off. At one time, every county in Ontario held its own local plowing match with participants then eligible to enter the all Ontario match. But, modern “no-till” farming methods designed to enhance conservation and save time and money on extra equipment have meant regular plowing is not used so much. “No-till is killing regular plowing,” said Roberts. Plus, there is less interest in general by working farmers, especially younger ones. Despite being a Torontonian, Robert said he loves the plowing competitions and does it as a “hobby.” He is a member of both the Ontario Antique Tractor Plowmen’s Association and the Ontario Plowmen’s Association. He usually takes part in several plowing matches across Ontario every year. He has also competed in the Prairie provinces and the east coast.
Winston Roberts, a Toronto resident with a farming background, says he now takes part in several plowing matches a year “as a hobby.” Jack Evans/Metroland

Families encouraged to boost veggies and fruit intake The Healthy Kids Community Challenge Hastings Prince Edward will be encouraging local families to Choose to Boost Veggies and Fruit this fall, and emphasizing the importance of making vegetables and fruits part of their diet every day. Whether fresh, frozen, or canned, vegetables and fruit help provide children and families with the vitamins, minerals, dietary fibre and overall energy needed to be physically active and stay healthy, say people behind the challenge. HKCC HPE will be coordinating several local programs and activities that will encourage families in Hastings and Prince Edward counties to include more vegetables and fruit in every meal and snack. Some of these activities include: - Activities in local elementary schools to highlight Veggie and Fruit Month this October. - Increasing the capacity of the local Good Food Box; this program provides fresh veggies and fruit at a fraction of the retail cost. - The Leaders of Change initiative, which aims to recognize local organizations that make it easier
for families to access healthier food and beverages. Choose to Boost Veggies and Fruit is the third phase of the Healthy Kids Community Challenge, which promotes healthy eating, physical activity and healthy lifestyle choices for children. As part of the first theme of the HKCC HPE, Run. Jump. Play. Every Day., workshops were held to train teachers on the importance of physical literacy in the early years. As part of the second theme, Water Does Wonders, local organizations were able to apply for water stations to help increase access to water throughout our community. Encouraging kids to stay active and healthy is part of the government’s plan to build a better Ontario through its Patients First: Action Plan for Health Care, which provides patients with faster access to the right care; better home and community care; the information they need to live well; and a health care system that is sustainable for generations to come.

The Good Earth
Odds & Sods – Farewell Gentle Readers
By Dan Clost (Editor’s Note – Dan Clost has decided to hang up his quill and get back to his roots, so to speak, and branch out in other directions. Okay, enough puns. We want to thank Dan for his many years of timely, informative, humorous columns on all things about The Good Earth and wish him well. Stay tuned for our new gardening columnist, appearing in the Sept. 7 edition.) O&S #1 Trees and Grass If you live in a newer subdvision where you are establishing both a lawn and some future shade trees, you face a challenge. Often the top layer of soil has been scraped away and returned (reinstated would be the word on some contracts); however, the soil has very different properties. The many, many years of establishing various layers or zones have been nullified. Aeration is gone, the micro-organisms no longer have their preferred micro-zones, cation exchange capacity (one function is the ability of the sail to manage nutrients) and, perhaps the most important, drainage is seriously compromised. In short, you no longer have a vital soil; you possess a flattened pile of dirt with a big box on it. Growing grass in these conditions is relatively easy: lots and lots of water. Unfortunately, this is an expensive way to successfully drown any newly planted trees surrounded by the sward. What often occurs, and this observation is a direct result of many “tree checks” that I have carried over the years, is that the only loose soil on a subdivision’s property is the hole into which the tree was planted. Because of the poor drainage, this hole
will become saturated as excess water collects during lawn irrigation. There are many options but here is my suggestion. Let’s suppose you want five mature maples and you are budgeting $500.00 per tree spread over five years. This is a very common plan. Buy the smallest trees you can afford...to look at. So, five trees at $100.00 each is the better option. A smaller tree will establish itself much more quickly than a larger tree; it will use less water; and, if it does succumb, you’ve minimized your loss. O&S#2 Top 5 facts about The Good Earth colon 1. First Column- 12 May 98 all about bugs. 2. Last Column- 31 Aug 17 final word about trees and grass 3. In between- 962 newspaper columns, 45 features, 1 book (2 printings) 6 newspapers, 4 magazines, 2 scientific journals, 28 known websites, 2 writing awards, and 11 editors. 4. Reasons for writing column-, to encourage everyone to walk softly on this good earth, which sustains and nurtures us all, to remind readers of the science and art of horticulture; and, to share the passion and privilege of gardening with you, Gentle Reader. 5. What I will miss the most- our conversations. O&S#3 Best Questions My pickup truck can hold two cubic yards, how much mulch can I put in it? (2.5, if you want to use the space behind the passenger seat) Does this red rose come in any other colour? (No, only the white ones do.) How often do I need to mow my ornamental grass garden? (Thanks to Nathan McCormick for this answer: once a week.) What’s the name of the plant with blue flowers at my grandmother’s house, the ones beside the back steps? (Not sure, what was your grandmother’s name, again?) Here’s a picture of a swarm of bugs. I poured gas on them and lit them on fire. What were they? (Ladybug larva) O&S#4 Is the end of The Good Earth? No, Gentle Reader, it is not. Definitely there will be a hiatus in writing and it is unlikely that I will pen a weekly column in the future. However, I have many projects in mind including a book of poetry in lines similar to Piet Hein’s Grooks under the pen name The Haiku Hortulan. An amazing local filmmaker is producing a documentary about an exceptional gardening business and I have the privilege (and challenge) of composing some of the background music. O&S#5 Thank you to... My first note goes to my family who have encouraged me over the years. My second goes to all of the professionals and gifted amateurs who I pestered for advice during all of the years. The third and final thank you is for you, Gentle Reader. It has been my privilege to chat with you, Walk softly, Dan

Hastings County Planning Committee last week approved two large lot separations in Tyendinaga Township, but not without prolonged discussion and stiff opposition by a neighbour farmer. Resident Oliver Haan opposed the lot separations proposed by his neighbour on grounds that it could interfere with his family’s right to continue farming. He accepted setbacks the province considers adequate, but will probably still lead to friction with his swine operation. But he is particularly concerned with water quantity. “We sit on top of a limestone shelf and we have seen other incidents in the neighbourhood of new dwellings overloading the water source,” he said. He stressed, “I’m not talking about my future. My children are here and they are interested in keeping the farm going. It is their future that is at stake.” He reminded the committee of council as a whole that protecting “right to farm” is entrenched in its policies, but they don’t seem to stick. He said real farmers across Hastings County are all “frustrated” at the lack of protection for their right to make a living. Newcomers from the city continue to threaten and complain about nearby farming practices, cattle getting out and more. His remarks drew support from several members who suggested hydrological studies to analyse the water table and registering a warning on the deeds about right-to-farm protection. Planning chief Justin Harrow, said the size of the two lots at over four acres each, negates the water source threat and a hydrology study could cost thousands of dollars. Other members figured
it could trigger a policy commitment to have studies done on all lot separations at tremendous cost. Both lots have tested and approved drilled wells; the land involved is not prime agriculture, but marginal and the extra setbacks meet right to farm specifications, members figured. In another land division hearing, Haan himself was applying to separate an existing house from a portion of his land. That was approved with little comment. Much of the meeting also involved the county’s economic development department. Director, Andrew Redden, reported on various new developments and procedures following a consultant’s study. Director of Planning and Development Justin Harrow also announced that because of the increasing activity in economic development, “I want a meeting set aside just for economic development. We will hold a special meeting on Oct. 27 following the regular meeting of county council.” That too was approved. Dates for public meetings for input on the county’s new Official Plan were also announced. The first will be Monday, Aug. 28 from 9:30 a.m. through noon at the Hastings Highlands Municipal Offices at 33011 Highway 62 at Maynooth. Wednesday, Aug. 30 is 3 p.m. to 5 p,n, and 6 ti 8 p.m. at the Dungannon Recreation Centre at L’Amable. Thursday, Aug. 31 the sessions move to Tyendinaga Township Rec Centre from 3 to 5 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. and finally, Tuesday Sept. 5 from 3 to 5 and 6 to 8 p.m. in Township of Madoc Hall, 15651, Highway 62. Harrow also announced full details on the plan on the county’s website plus input through that means.

Worrisome night for Campbellford residents BY SUE DICKENS
Campbellford – Elderly neighbours in Campbellford breathed a sigh of relief at news of the arrest of fugitive Richard Vader last Saturday. Two women who live in Campellford, near where Vader had fled from police last Wednesday, said they felt lucky to have made it through the night without mishap. Marlene Harris and Judith Wilkinson said they saw the police cruisers and heavily armed officers on their street, which leads to one end of nearby Ferris Provincial Park, and there was a helicopter overhead. At first they had no idea what was happening.
“I had been watching the police helicopter circle around Ferris and I thought ‘well there’s something going on,’ but we were all in awe and didn’t know what was happening, and that’s worse because your mind starts playing tricks.” MARLENE HARRIS, CAMPBELLFORD RESIDENT
They were later told, by an OPP officer to: “Go in your house and lock the doors. Somebody has escaped and is up here to do harm.” Wilkinson’s reaction when told was, “Oh my gosh here I am in the middle of this, gotta shut everything down, close my drapes and lock my doors. . . . I phoned my friends and told them what was going on in case anything happened.” Harris took the same precautions. According to police Vader made his way to a farm south of Ferris Provincial Park where he stole an ATV. That ATV was later recovered (still running) in a field in the Hoards Station area of StirlingRawdon. Police allege Vader then stole a truck to further his escape, Judith Wilkinson, left, with her dog Billie, and her neighbour Marlene Harris, with Teddy, both live near Ferris Park in then into its third day. He was eventually arrested in the Wallbridge area of Quinte West, Campellford, where the manhunt for Richard Vader was happening.

Local teacher’s union won’t support controversial Sir John A. motion BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville - The local ETFO President says he won’t support his own union’s motion to call for the renaming of schools named after Sir John A. Macdonald, Canada’s first prime minister. Dave Henderson, the president of the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario’s Hastings-Prince Edward chapter, spoke about the issue with the Belleville News, days after the union made headlines for the motion, passed at its recent Annual General Meeting. “The people who put this motion forward talked about it being about reconciliation,” he said. “But reconciliation is about forgiveness and moving forward. This is about finding scapegoats.” The official statement, released by the ETFO on Aug. 24, says “the motion recognizes that Macdonald has been celebrated based on an incomplete version of Canadian history. As a central architect of the Indian Act and residential schools, Macdonald played a key role in developing systems that perpetuated genocide against Indigenous people. “Passing this motion recognizes the impact this history has on all of our students, but specifically on Indigenous students, parents and educators.” The motion plays on the momentum going in the southern United States, where there’s new and intense discussion about removing statues of Confederate heroes, given that many of them fought for slavery and don’t properly pay tribute to African American’s contributions to the country. The same issue was at the heart of the recent violence in Charlottesville, Virginia. Henderson was at the meeting and voted against the Sir John A. Macdonald move. He said it was passed towards the end of the day when many delegates had left. Despite that, he recognized that a clear majority were in favour of it. But, he told the union’s president he would not support the motion publicly. Henderson also wrote to Hastings Prince Edward District School Board officials and asked them to ignore any calls to action as a result of this motion. That likely means there won’t be a push to name the Sir John A. Macdonald School, an elementary school located in Belleville’s west end. Henderson, who teaches history at the senior elementary level, says he’s in favour of teaching Canadian history truthfully “warts and all” but he feels a more appropriate way to better honour Indigenous communities would be to make an effort to name more schools after important First Nations leaders. The local chapter put out its own press release late Friday saying Section B - Thursday, August 31, 2017 B13
Sir John A. Macdonald School in Belleville is shown here. Stephen Petrick/Metroland
“This motion is not in the spirit of reconciliation or the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission on residential schools. While it is an historical fact that Sir John A.’s government carried out a policy which ultimately was judged a failure and which left First Nations communities badly damaged, it is also true that all successive governments until the 1990s continued this policy. That list contains other prime ministerial giants such as Laurier, Borden, Mackenzie King, and Pierre Trudeau. That is a lot of renaming to do.” Henderson told Belleville News he’s
also concerned about how the story is impacting ETFO’s brand. He’s been reading online comments on the issue and observed that “99 to 1” seem to be against it. He said the motion will have to stand until next year’s AGM, when union members could potentially vote to rescind it. However, he’s not worried it will lead to significant change, as the renaming of a school is a very public process that would involve input from trustees and the public. “I would think if trustees polled the public they’d find people don’t have an appetite for it,” he said. Meanwhile, the Hastings
Prince Edward District School Board is staying clear of the issue for now. “We are aware of a resolution that the provincial ETFO passed,” said the board’s communication director, Kerry Donnell, in a statement. “We need to gather more information and connect with a number of different parties before any additional statements can be made, and that will take some time.”

Standing by for possible refugee influx BY JACK EVANS
Hastings County has signalled its willingness to work with the federal government and other agencies to help shelter the increasing number of refugees, especially from Haiti, in recent days. Emergency Medical Services Chief Doug Socha appeared at a meeting of the county’s finance committee meeting Thursday to report he had been contacted to prepare for further details should more space be needed, and added space at CFB Trenton might be considered. If it comes to that, he said the county might be needed for assistance by paramedics and ambulances, medical, public health and shelter participation. As for the possibility of refugees being housed
at CFB Trenton in cadet training quarters or elsewhere, enquiries Tuesday showed there is little to no information forthcoming there. Public affairs officials at 8 Wing said the official line from Ottawa’s National Defence HQ is as follows: “At this point there has been no formal demand to the Canadian Armed Forces, but we are working with our partners at Public Safety Canada in order to find alternative solutions if there are more asylum seekers than available lodging at the current sites. Right now we are conducting checks at various bases…” Hastings County CAO Jim Pine said staff will be prepared if and when needed. Socha noted a meeting was scheduled for the following day to consider whether the base might in fact be needed.

Birthday wishes from around the globe BY MELYSSA GLOUDE
Belleville - One lucky girl is going to have quite the birthday surprise, thanks to the help of social media. Meet Sarah Doucette: a local 22-year-old media student and documentary filmmaker who just needed a birthday present for her younger sister, Hannah who will be turning 21 in September. “Her birthday is coming up September 3, so I was trying to think about what I could get her or do for her. Our family is one to not go crazy on big purchases, but do more-so homemade stuff and get creative,” says Doucette. “I don’t honestly know how the idea sort of struck me, I come from a background of film and TV so I thought maybe a video or something. So, I ended up having the idea of having people send in videos of themselves saying Happy Birthday Hannah from whatever country they’re from.” According to Doucette, her sister Hannah, who is on the Autism spectrum, is in love with destinations. “She loves people, and she loves different cultures -- she’s very curious and outgoing and she’s constantly talking about where she wants to travel, so I thought it would be a cool idea for her. She might love seeing all these different people from different places.” Doucette says the amount of responses she has received has been completely unexpected. “I wrote up a message and made a Facebook post, just thinking maybe that I’d get it in the local area or in some of the bigger cities like Toronto and Ottawa,” says Doucette. “And then one thing led to another and the first video that I got was from Australia. My friends shared with their friends and the whole community sort of took it from there and it just blew up. The first ‘wow’ country I got was when
20-year-old Hannah Doucette and her sister, 22-year-old Sarah Doucette. Submitted photo
I got one from Saudi Arabia. It’ really strange to think about how far it’s spread.” Since the Facebook post, Doucette says that she’s received over 100 video submissions. “I thought it might last a couple days, but I keep receiving videos daily, through the morning and the afternoon and into the night. My inbox is completely full.” Doucette says her and her sister are extremely close, and this project was one way she could fulfil her sisters unwavering curiosity. “Hannah has a very colourful personality. She is very social, I’d say, for someone with autism, with the limited social interactions. She’s very, very smart and very skilled with numbers and calendars. She’s actually a calendrical savant,” says Doucette. “Mainly, she just loves travel. That’s always something I’ve associated with her, she loves going to big cities, she loves meeting different people. As soon as I’m talking to someone she may not recognize,
she’ll ask them their name, where they’re from, when they were born. She wants to know everything about them.” Once the compilation video is complete, Doucette says she plants to upload it to YouTube for the unveiling. “Once I have it finished, I’m going to put it on YouTube, and then from YouTube, I’m going to share it on Facebook and whoever has that link can do what they want with it.” Doucette says she’s thankful for the support that she’s received to help complete the project. “My family and I are so thankful for everyone’s’ help in this. Especially in such a time where it is so easy to be hurt by people, it feels really good to see what people can accomplish together in a positive way.” If you want to send a happy birthday message to Hannah, it’s not too late.

Loyalist College’s renamed Indigenous Resource Centre honours heritage Belleville – Loyalist College is dropping the word “aboriginal” from an important college facility and replacing it with the word “indigenous.” The facility, once known as the Aboriginal Resource Centre, will now be known as the Indigenous Resource Centre. “We strongly encourage the use of the word ‘indigenous’ in lieu of the term ‘aboriginal’ in all instances,” said Paul Latchford, co-ordinator of Indigenous Services at Loyalist. “Using the correct vernacular will help us create a more positive learning environment for our First Nations, Inuit and Métis students.” The semantic shift to ‘indigenous,’ as the preferred term for the original inhabitants of Canada, follows the federal government’s 2015 decision to change the name of the Department of Aboriginal Affairs to Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada.
The indigenous reference is more commonly recognized internationally, perhaps most notably in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The centre was established in 1996 to provide friendship, assistance and services to Indigenous students. Today it continues to ensure appropriate support for Indigenous students on campus and acts as a liaison between college administration, Indigenous communities and government agencies. The centre provides pre-admission counselling to prospective students about admission, transcripts, funding and program planning; orientation for new students; academic and individual counselling for students enrolled at Loyalist. It also provides a study space and access to computers, printers, Internet and email, circle events, and indigenous newsletters and papers.
NRStor Inc. – an Ontario-based energy storage project developer – is working in partnership with Mitsubishi Corp. – a global business leader – on clean energy innovation. We are excited to propose an innovative battery energy storage project in the Belleville Industrial Park that is entirely fuel-free and produces zero greenhouse gas emissions. Together, we are supporting a low carbon electricity grid.
Please join us for a Community Open House to learn more and discuss this exciting project!
