Panelas Appreciation Barbecue marks 31 years giving back to TMH community BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton — Hosted in the Panelas Courtyard dedicated in his honour, Phil Panelas and the TMH Foundation hosted the 31st annual Phil Panelas Appreciation Barbecue at Trenton Memorial Hospital (TMH) on Thursday June 22. Treating community members, volunteers, first responders and hospital staff to homemade Greek cuisine and his popular rice pudding for 31 years now, Panelas, former chair of the TMHF board for 25 years, said it’s the one day of the year he can give back. “The reason I do it is because I enjoy seeing people eating and enjoying food and we’re not going to be here for forever so may as well give something back today,” he said. “I’ve been here 50 years as volunteer at this hospital, so I like to pay back what they give me.” Panelas said he didn’t have anything when he emigrated from Greece, but now he has everything, “so I like to pay back.” “I feel like the hospital is part of my home, I like to see it growing and growing instead of closing down,” he said. “Sometimes my wife asks where I was and I say ‘my second home,’ it’s really nice

to me.” With no signs of slowing down his volunteer work, Panelas said he will be a volunteer with the foundation for the rest of his life. Wendy Warner, executive director of the TMH Foun-

dation, said the barbecue is always a lovely afternoon of food and music, all thanks to Panelas. “I have goosebumps, that should say it all,” said Warner. “He is the most amazing, generous, kind, compassionate

man anyone would ever want to meet.” Philanthropy means the love of mankind and Panelas exudes philanthropy, said Warner. “He’s the heartbeat of our foundation, there is no ques-

tion about it,” she said. “He understands what health care means to people, he knows how important it is to give back, he knows how good it makes him feel to give back and we love him for it.” After being chair of the TMH Foundation board for 25 years, Warner said they definitely did not want to let him off the board. “So we created an honorary lifetime directorship and that’s what he is,” she said, created about four years ago. “He has been involved with the hospital 50 years, he is all about giving back and we all aspire to be just even a little bit like him, we would be better people.” The barbecue is a great event to bring the hospital community together to say thank you, said Warner. “It’s wonderful to have everyone together because we are a community, we’re all about the community. We have staff that provide the care, the people that provide volunteer hours or the financial support to be able to make us provide the care,” she said. “It’s that one time of year that we can all come together and support one another and be happy and be partners in what we do.”

St. Peter’s ultimate play day with Olympic athlete BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton — Four time Olympic Hockey medallist Jayna Hefford joined students at St. Peter Catholic School in Trenton for the ultimate play day on Wednesday June 21. St. Peter’s was one of five schools across Canada to win the ultimate play day for incorporating ‘Hero of Play’ values of living a healthy and active lifestyle. Canadian Tire challenged schools across Canada to demonstrate how they get active using the Canadian Olympic Program and

send submissions for the challenge through photos, written submissions or video. Jackie Gauthier, principal of St. Peter, said they submitted a video for the challenge showcasing how they have been building a healthy active school. “Two of our teachers have really taken this on, they’ve conducted recess dance practices and daily physical activity games throughout the fall and winter time and in the spring time, once the weather was nice, they implemented the walking club and our walk across Canada

challenge,” she said. For the school’s walk across Canada challenge, students walk around the track and count their steps with pedometers to track how far across Canada they can get. “We started off out East and now we’re almost at the end of Ontario, so we walk St. Paul’s track at recess time or during phys-ed times,” she said. “We calculate that out and figure out how far we’ve gotten across Canada.” Hefford, four-time Olympic hockey medallist, was actually born in Trenton and she said it was awe-

some to be back to be a part of the event. “It’s really about getting kids active and out, I think overall physical health but also mental health is so important and it’s great to see a school in Trenton that’s won a prize like this and that’s really committed to the importance of physical activity in their youth,” she said. Spending the morning handing out autographed photos and talking to students about hockey, Hefford said the initiative to get kids out and active is close to her heart. “It’s something I really believe in and any time you can be a part of a movement like that that you’re passionate about I think it’s so important and I really believe in the importance of physical activity and youth and in these guys really being the future of this community, and building those skills now is going to

help down the road,” she said. The challenge fit within the school’s improvement goal to get kids away from iPads, televisions, and computers and get them outside and playing, said Gauthier. “We know that kids aren’t going to be academically successful unless they’re physically successful and it’s so important these days, we notice a lot of kids would come to school and tell us the night before they watched movies or they played video games,” she said. “Our kids have the freedom to play, which a lot of kids in the world don’t have that freedom so we want our kids to understand how important it is for them to be physically active and how grateful they should be to be able to play.” Students played at 10 different stations set up with games, one being Olympic themed.

OPINION

Silly buggers in Mid East skies I don’t remember which navy I was in when I first heard the term “silly buggers”, but the meaning was clear. It included some sensible exercises like “man overboard” drills, but the heart and soul of game was highGwynne Dyer the speed manoeuvres by ships travelling in close company. These sometimes got quite exciting, because ships don’t have brakes. Off the coast of Lebanon, in 140 metres of water, is the wreck of the British battleship HMS Victoria, which sank in 1893. It is the world’s only vertical wreck, because its bow is plunged deep in the mud but its stern is only 70 metres below the service – “like a tombstone,” said one of the divers who found it in 2004. And it was “silly buggers” that did for it. The British Mediterranean fleet was travelling in two parallel lines when Admiral Tryon decided to reverse course – and to make it interesting he ordered the lead ships of each line to make the turn inwards, towards the other line. In theory the two lines of ships should have ended up travelling in the opposite direction, but much closer together. Unfortunately, they were already too close, and they couldn’t turn tightly enough to avoid hitting each other. The lead battleship of the other line rammed HMS Victoria and all 10,400 tonnes of her sank within a few minutes, carrying the admiral and 357 other officers and men down with her. That’s the sort of t hing that happens when you play “silly buggers” and get it wrong. It’s silly enough when everybody is on the same side. When two different countries start playing “silly buggers” it gets even more dangerous, and that’s where we are right now. Last Monday, over the Baltic Sea, a Russian fighter plane flew within one and a half metres of an American reconaissance aircraft’s wingtip. US officials protested, saying it was “unsafe” and criticizing the Russian pilot’s “high rate of closure speed and poor control of the aircraft.” Had the Russian pilot been ordered to get that close? Probably not. Did he intend to scare the Americans? Almost certainly, yes. He probably did misjudge the distance – it’s not worth dying to make your point – but he would have known that he was off the leash.

American reconnaissance flights targeting Russia are perfectly legal so long as they stay over international waters, but they have become much more frequent over both the Baltic and the Black Seas. That is clearly yanking the Russians’ chain, and they duly get worked up about it. More importantly, the Russian pilot would have known what is going on over Syria. The game over eastern Syria has gone beyond mere “silly buggers”. It’s more like “chicken” now, with the Russians and the Americans pushing each other to see how far they can go. But it’s the Americans who are actually shooting, though they haven’t killed any Russians yet. Early this month, the US shot down a Russian-made Syrian government drone near the al-Tanf border crossing, between Syria and Iraq. Then on Sunday an American F/A-18 shot down a Syrian air force fighter-bomber near the Islamic State’s besieged capital of Raqqa. The Russians responded by saying that they would track any Western aircraft operating west of the Euphrates River as potential targets. When US aircraft mistakenly dropped bombs on Syrian government troops last September, killing 62 of them, nobody shot them down. But that was then, and the rules have clearly changed – as was underlined recently when US forces shot down another Syrian government drone near al-Tanf, this time an Iranian-built Shahed 129. At one level, what’s driving all this is the fact that Islamic State is going under, and the various players are racing to gain control of the parts of eastern Syria that were or still are controlled by the group. US forces are part of that race, and are getting increasingly reckless about how they compete. At a higher level, this is the result of President Donald Trump’s decision to commit the United States and its forces to the Sunni side in the Sunni-Shia confrontation that links all the local wars together. That defines not only the Syrian government but also its Iranian and Russian supporters as America’s enemies, and the American forces in the region are just responding to that shift. There is still no clear American vision for the future of the Middle East, let alone a serious strategy for accomplishing it. But meanwhile the games-playing continues and intensifies, and it’s only a matter of time before some Russian or American gets killed by the other side. Silly buggers.

Media gag order on school board trustees is irresponsible Editorial by Stephen Petrick There are so many questions worth asking right now to Hastings Prince Edward District School Board trustees, particularly to David Patterson and Mary Hall, who both represent the Belleville region. Was the decision to close Quinte Secondary School the right one? How would you explain it to students and parents? Why was QSS considered expendable, when Moira Secondary School was not? And how heavily did the accommodation review process weigh on your shoulders? But you won’t read answers to these questions in these pages – at least not to the extent that you should. Metroland Media requested to speak to the two trustees, through board communications director Kerry Donnell, following a vote on June 19 that will lead to the closure of several schools, including QSS. But the reporter was told the two trustees cannot speak to media. Instead, the newspaper could speak to board chair Lucille Kyle, who is the official spokesperson for the board of trustees. Kyle, graciously, spoke and answered questions, as did Education Director Mandy Savery-Whiteway. The problem is that Kyle is a trustee who represents the North Hastings area. As chair, she’s certainly responsible for the decisions, but a vote on closing schools in Belleville likely was not as emotional to her, as it would have been for Patterson and Hall, two elected officials who serve the area. Surely, they were both inundated with emails and comments from constituents leading up to the vote and they owe these people answers. And while it was good of Savery-Whiteway to talk, she is a public servant who works in an objective role. She can deliver facts to the media and talk about the administrative nature of school board work, but she’s not as free to give opinions on sensitive subjects as an elected official presumably would be. The job of a journalist when covering a pub-

lic institution, such as a school board, is to ask questions to officials that he or she feels the general public would want answers to. The fact that Patterson and Hall were sheltered from the media shows incredibly poor judgement from the school board. Metroland was later told that this order is a result of a long-standing board policy; one which requests the board of trustees to act all as one cohesive unit. There were times, throughout the accommodation review process when other trustees spoke to media, Donnell pointed out. But they did this in error, unaware of their own policy. But if that’s the board’s policy, we must say this: It’s a horribly bad policy. It’s insensitive to the fact that boards are made up different human beings, with different opinions on subjects. And it’s certainly not normal. The idea of a reporter not being able to speak to a municipal councillor following a meeting is unheard of in the areas we cover. To be clear, almost no one in the world is legally required to speak to media. Generally, elected officials do it for the sake of being transparent and gaining the publicity they need, if they wish to seek re-election. And the fact that trustees weren’t to speak to media following the vote wasn’t really an inconvenience to the deadline-natured work of reporters. There was plenty of information available, following the vote, to fill newspaper space and airwaves. The policy – or the media gag-order, as we’ll call it – is ultimately a disservice to taxpayers, particularly those from school communities impacted by the recent vote, which include communities in Centre Hastings and Prince Edward County. Many people want to know why their trustees made the vote they did and how they feel about the future of local schools. Trustees may well have thorough and respectable answers to those questions. But we’ll never know for sure.

Dive Force Scuba opens in Trenton BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton – Dive Force Scuba has opened its doors in Trenton, offering the latest scuba gear, apparel and courses in the Quinte West community. Located at 81 Dufferin Ave., David Burnside officially opened shop on Wednesday, June 21. He said it’s been a long journey, with a lot of hard work and hurdles he and his wife Nancy had to climb over in or-

der to bring the shop to fruition. After 21 years in the military, Burnside said he retired 10 years ago and decided to start his own business with his own passion for diving. “We want to give something back, so our hope is that we provide a great, long-lasting service here in this wonderful community. Trenton and Quinte West have welcomed our family here, and the people in this

Public Notice WELLERS BAY NATIONAL WILDLIFE AREA Public Access Prohibited Be advised that public access to Wellers Bay National Wildlife Area continues to be prohibited at all times to prevent disturbance to wildlife and their habitats, and to protect the public from hazards posed by unexploded ordnance. This former National Defence bombing range is designated as a National Wildlife Area (NWA) to protect important habitat for a variety of wildlife species including species at risk. The NWA is clearly marked by “warning” and “entry prohibited” signs around its perimeter. The Department of National Defence regularly conducts surveys within the NWA to detect items (e.g. unexploded ordnance) that may pose a danger to authorized and unauthorized visitors. However, new, potentially dangerous items are continually exposed with changing beach and weather conditions and the danger and risk persists. Only authorized specially trained persons may visit the site to ensure protection of the site and compliance with relevant regulations. All other persons are prohibited from using or accessing any part of the Wellers Bay NWA at any time, and any person found doing so may be charged under the Wildlife Area Regulations of the Canada Wildlife Act. If persons are found to be accessing the NWA, they are at risk of being fined and/or having personal property, including vehicles and boats seized. Fines may be increased (doubled) with each subsequent infraction. All unexploded ordnance wherever they may be found, partial or complete, must be considered dangerous as they may cause serious injury or death if disturbed. If you ever find something that might be unexploded ordnance, do not touch or disturb it in any way. Rather, note the location of the object and leave the area. Call your local police and report what you have found, and where you found it. Individuals may call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) to anonymously report information on crimes occurring on this or other National Wildlife Areas.

Dive Force Scuba offers a wide variety of equipment and services, from snorkelling and scuba equipment to air and nitrox fills.

Batter Up for Minor Hockey July 8 BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton — Batter up to help underprivileged youth in the community play minor hockey during the 4th annual Batter Up for Minor Hockey softball tournament, Saturday July 8 from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at Bain Park. “I’m excited, each year the more people that find out about it and the more publicity that it gains, it’s just been getting bigger and better,” said Brandon O’Quinn, who created the fundraiser four years ago. At the beginning the biggest problem was getting enough teams together to play in the tournament, but now O’Quinn said the tournament filled up early and they had to turn people away. New this year is a charity benefit concert after the tournament at the Batawa Ski Hill, featuring the Tailgates country band at 8 p.m. Tickets to the concert are $10. “Everyone is welcome to come, the players and anyone around the community who wants to support underprivileged young hockey players,” said O’Quinn. Although the softball tourna-

ment is full, there will still be a silent auction open to everyone during the event from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and a number of hockey players, including at least one NHL player, for people to visit with. “There’s a lot of cool prizes, usually I have NHL tickets, a signed Andrew Shaw jersey, some cool tee time tickets for golfing around at nice courses around the area, tickets to Hockey Hall of Fame” he said. NHL player Nick Cousins, with the Arizona Coyotes, will be at the event, said O’Quinn, along with former players of the Belleville Bulls, Kingston Frontenacs and Trenton Golden Hawks. Last year the tournament raised $5,000, money that was able to support 19 young hockey players register in minor hockey that otherwise wouldn’t have been able to afford to. “I’m pretty proud about it,” said O’Quinn. “I’m appreciative for everybody else that feels the same way that I do about young underprivileged hockey players that can’t afford to play.”

O’Quinn grew up playing hockey in Trenton with the Trenton Golden Hawks and moved on to play with the Kingston Voyageurs, Plattsburgh State University of New York and is now playing hockey with Brock University.

“It makes me feel good because I’ve had a lot of good experiences through hockey, I’ve been pretty lucky, so if I can somehow help others to have the same opportunity then that makes it all worth while,” he said.

This year, the goal is to raise $10,000. To purchase tickets to the concert at Batawa Ski Hill in advance, contact O’Quinn at Brandon_oquinn@ hotmail.com or call 613-243-3243.

New zip line unveiled in Batawa BY ERIN STEWART

Batawa — With the latest addition of a 120-foot zip line, the Batawa Lions Natural Community Park just keeps getting better. The Batawa Lions Club unveiled the new zip line with about 100 people in attendance during a community barbecue to celebrate its grand opening on Saturday, June 24. Designed for children age five to 12 and coming in at almost $50,000, Jeff Moorhouse, past president of the Batawa Lions Club, said the zip line was part of the original master pan of the park five years ago but did not meet the budget at the time. “We’ve been fundraising throughout the years

with a goal of adding this and so this is a feature we were able to fundraise and add this year,” he said. “It’s pretty rewarding, the big reward will be watching the kids, I’m sure it’s going to be a popular ride.” The Batawa Lions Natural Community Park is a collaboration between the Batawa Lions Club, City of Quinte West and the Batawa Development Corporation. Custom designed by Earthscape with a natural theme, Moorhouse said it’s a special addition to Batawa. “It’s a special park, to create something that’s new, special and unique to this area I think adds a lot to the community,” he said.

“It’s nice when you see all age groups, you have little toddlers to the seniors who come and sit on the benches under the shade, so it’s enjoyable to see that all walks of life and anybody can come and enjoy it.” Each year the Lions aim to add new features, some smaller than others, Moorhouse said, and they like to add a big feature every couple of years. Up next, Moorhouse said they are going to add a timber gazebo to fit the natural theme of the park within the next year or two, once they are able to raise about $30,000 for the project.

more to an already great park. “It’s lovely, it’s unique and it’s well done,” said Harrison. “The Batawa Lions Club just never quit, they have projects on their mind all the time which is great, they all work together and they have an objective and they reach it.” The Batawa community is always a very attractive community and the Lions always work hard to keep it that way, he said. “They work hard to get something and they work hard to keep it looking good, I have to give them a lot of credit, I’m very pleased and proud to go to Batawa and see what they’re doing,” said Harrison.

Trenton — With the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall’s royal tour to Canada approaching June 29 to July 1, two initiatives are the spotlight of His Royal Highness' charitable work during his visit. At his first stop in Iqaluit, Nunavut, the prince will focus on Indigenous language revitalization and promotion, stated Andreas Kyriakos, an employee of Prince’s Charities Canada (PCC), in a media release. The prince will meet with representatives of organizations working to preserve and promote Inuktitut in a digital age, by adapting Indigenous languages for online use and developing engaging means of language learning for children — both crucial to assuring the vibrant future of Indigenous languages in Canada, he said. “PCC is supporting these groups in the

writing of Indigenous-language children’s books, supporting efforts to unify the written form of Inuktitut, and providing technology and training to Indigenous communities across the country,” stated Kyriakos. In Trenton on Friday June 30, the prince will speak to participants of the Prince’s Operation Entrepreneur (POE) program, a program that gives veterans and transitioning military personnel the tools needed to become entrepreneurs. “Participants in the Prince’s Operation Entrepreneur (POE) program will walk His Royal Highness through the business they founded with help from POE,” said Kyriakos. For four decades, the prince has led the way in creating sustainable, local solutions to big problems, he said. Since 2011, his Prince’s Charities Canada has worked to expand his charitable vision to every province and territory across Canada.

After more than 40 years Bryan Pearce is stepping off the ice BY MARTIN DURKIN

With more than 40 years under his belt with the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) Bryan Pearce says it’s time to move on. It’s not retirement though, and Pearce will stay connected to the Trenton Community and the Base, but he admits that as far as his official role at the Flyers is concerned, it’s time to hang up the skates. “I was 22 years in the military, I wanted something challenging at that time in my life and I was recommended to try the CF,” says Pearce who started out as an infantry soldier for 10 years before becoming a Physical Education Recreational Instructor (PERI). In 1997, the CAF disbanded his unit, and Personnel Support Program (PSP) was born as a civilian position. Not wanting to take off the uniform completely, Pearce decided to move with the transition, and became part of the PSP team. For the last 18 years he has served at 8 Wing Trenton and

the Base community has held him in high regard, especially as the arena manager. Since word spread that he was leaving his position, best wishes and emails have come pouring into his office non-stop for over a week. Sentiments such as, “Thanks for everything coach, you will be missed”, from Captain (Capt.) Chad Chipchase with 429 Transport Squadron, have been a steady flow. Indeed Pearce will be missed, as his dedication to Base sports is unprecedented. From building the arena and sports fields, to coaching and organizing charity tournaments, his role within the community will be something to aspire to for the next person who steps into his shoes. “That’s the tough part,” says Pearce who admits driving down RCAF road for a while will be difficult. “It’s not yours, but you feel like you got a bit of ownership.” Coming from an Army perspective, Pearce says with a smile that adjusting to Air Force life in Trenton was a

bit of change, but he can relate to the words of Colonel (Col.) Keiver who is well known as a history buff and likes to point out that the RCAF had to lead a different way of military life after World War One (WWI). “You had to get that Army way out of your system, and work at an Air Force level,” quipped Pearce who says it’s a bit more about working together with an open concept. Col. Keiver who also believes you don’t have to wear the uniform to put personal sacrifice ahead of personal goals within the military, had the following to say about Pearce, “He was a great ambassador to the sporting community and made a difference to 8 Wing for the sporting community.” “There are a lot of good memories here, I love the CF,” said Pearce who believes it wasn’t hard to stay moti- RCAF Flyers Arena Manager Bryan Pearce, stands proudly below the vated for more than 40 years. “I guess Canadian flag inside the arena he helped create. that’s the way us baby boomers were Martin Durkin/Metroland brought up, 40 years, 40 hours a week and a 40 dollar watch.” A humble response, from a humble man.

Leaving behind a legacy BY MARTIN DURKIN

“Leave the dirt on the shovel, Sir! We want to get the picture right!” Jokes 8 Wing Chief Warrant Officer (WCWO) Darcy Elder, as he and Colonel (Col.) Keiver plant two Vimy oak trees in front of Headquarters. Col. Keiver at this point has allowed Chief Elder to put two handfuls of dirt on his silver ceremonial shovel, only to quickly dump it in the hole around the young sapling. Both are in full DEU’s and in a hurry. Late from another ceremony on base, and ready for lunch, the camaraderie between the pair is unmistakeable. Something that will be missed at 8 Wing shortly. “Now look up at the camera Sir,

Durkin! Get over on this side of us so you get the flags in the background, there we go!” Says the Chief as he flings empty sapling buckets out of the way and adjusts his glasses then smiles beside his companion. Each wanting to leave something to 8 Wing before they left the base this July, Col. Keiver and Chief Elder purchased oak trees from Vimy. Now planted, they will grow to full maturity as a lasting testament recognizing not only one of Canada’s most important moments in history, but also as a thank you from two men who served 8 Wing Trenton proudly; wanting to acknowledge those on Chief Elder (L) and Col. Keiver (R) plant base who worked with them on a two Vimy oak saplings in front of CFB daily basis. Trenton Headquarters.

Donnan’s Fire Globe wows MPs, prime minister on Hill Ottawa - The stunning metal creation that captured the imagination and wonder of local residents made its way to Parliament Hill this week On Wednesday, MPs area Neil Ellis and Mike Bossio ushered a steady stream of MPs, cabinet ministers and even Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to the steps outside the Parliament Building to meet the artist, Shawn Donnan, of Quinte West, and his Canada 150 Fire Globe. Metroland Media’s Belleville News first introduced Donnan’s creation in our pages June 15 and since then interest in the globe has soared. A longtime resident and dairy farmer from Stirling, Donnan, is also an established welder. “His talent for original design, evidenced by the range of products offered at Horizon Metal Works, has consistently fired up the imaginations of his clientele,” said Ellis. “A popular product, his ‘fire globes’ are a redesigned circular fire-pit that can be powered by propane or natural gas rings, bonfires, or even LED lights.” Donnan’s latest project has received immense acclaim, both for its fusion of artistry in this trade with a sincere passion for Canada. Constructed primarily of steel, his Canada 150 Fire Globe features iconic Canadian symbols that represent our natural world, history, and eagerness to build a brighter future. Beavers, geese, loonies, toonies and more, adorn the globe. As a steady stream of dignitaries stopped to snap photos of the globe Wednesday, Donnan was asked repeatedly how he managed to craft such a stunning tribute to Canada’s 150th birthday. “Giving shape to a new way to celebrate Canada’s upcoming anniversary

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau joins MPs Neil Ellis and Mike Bossio with metal artisan Shawn Donnan outside Parliament with Donnan’s Canada 150 Fire Globe. Photo courtesy of PMO

of Confederation, the Canada 150 Fire Globe has established Donnan as a metal artisan most deserving of recognition. MPs Bossio and Ellis both applaud the patriotism of this local luminary,” said a statement from Ellis’ office.

“Something this beautiful, and boldly patriotic, must be shared beyond our community. We’re glad that Shawn has worked so hard to help us celebrate Canada 150 in such an original way,” said Ellis.

“Shawn’s work is the perfect example of rural ingenuity and craftsmanship at its finest. I’m so proud to see our community represented so well at our country’s parliament today,” added Bossio.

There are reports the globe may make its way to Wellington next Friday for the visit of Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, to the Farmer’s Market there and local winery Norman Hardie.

However, the itinerary shows they have a busy and event-filled day for Canada’s 150th birthday celebration. Their day begins at the Canadian Museum of History where they will help open the Canadian History Hall. After a visit to Parliament Hill “for a spectacular celebration of all things Canadian,” the Prince of Wales will open the newly renovated National Arts Centre. After a visit to Canadian tech firm, Shopify, Charles will once again get an opportunity to help open a new Ottawa landmark. Charles and Camilla will be involved in the unveiling of The Queen’s Entrance at Rideau Hall. The Queen’s entrance will have a new set of doors which “were designed to symbolize 150 years of Canada’s history.”

Eldorado – An investigation by the Quinte Humane Society (QHS) following a report that a dog had been “tossed” from a truck on Old Hastings Road, Eldorado, last Sun., June 18, has led to the discovery of the dog’s owner. “We’ve since been able to locate the owner of the dog. He indicated it ran away,” QHS Executive Director Frank Rockett told the Central Hastings News today, June 23. “Potentially if the dog ran away somebody picked it up and the dog may have hopped out or was tossed out, we don’t know,” he added. “The truck was not going fast and the dog was not injured persay . . . the dog is going for a vet visit this afternoon . . . then the dog is going back to its owner. Our investigation indicated the dog can be returned. We don’t have any evidence against the owner.” When pressed further Rockett stated, “We don’t know if there is any guilt on the part of the owner. We can’t say they’ve done something wrong. We don’t have anything linking this to the owner. “The story that was reported to us is that a dog had been tossed out of a truck,” said Rockett. He confirmed the truck did not stop. The witness described the truck that as a silver Chevy Silverado, but was unable to get a licence plate number. Without providing the name of the dog he did say he is a two or three-year-old Beagle and Bassett Hound mix. Rockett pointed out the situation has been very “traumatic for the animal and he is better to be outside the shel-

New Hastings County official plan moving slowly BY JACK EVANS

It will be many months yet before Hastings County new official plan is in place. At a meeting of the Planning and Development Committee last Wednesday, arrangements were discussed for meetings with individual municipalities. An original proposal from planning staff was to hold three meetings, one in the north, centre and south in working toward a year-end approval by county council. Members opted instead for meetings with each municipality. Lone dissenter was Reeve Terry Clemens of Marmora and Lake. “If we hold joint meetings, we can feed off each other’s ideas

and concerns,” he argued. He won his point in having all 14 municipalities notified of such meetings and to be allowed to send a representative if they can or want to. The plan must also be approved by provincial officials before it is in effect. The “draft” plan, as approved at the last meeting of county council, has already generated some concerns. Mayor Tom Deline of Centre Hastings asked, “Can we appeal anything in this document, or can anything be changed?” He noted that his council had already gone over it and had some concerns. He was assured that as it is still a draft plan changes are allowed. A related concern was correspondence from the province advising of new policies

and standards to encourage “secondary residential units.” “We were hoping to deal with this in our new official plan,” commented Justin Harrow, director of planning services. This too raised alarms for Deline in terms of lot sizes and other issues, which he figured would be similar for some other rural municipalities. Several other members of the committee agreed. The committee also received a notification that the nature preserve provincial park, Stoco Fen, east of Tweed, is being expanded to almost double its original size. The ministry’s announcement called it a “minor boundary amendment,” from 203 hectares to 353 hectares, or almost 75 per cent.

The notice drew no comments or concerns. Also going without comment was notification of rehabilitation of the Norris Whitney Bridge at Belleville, starting this fall and again next year. “Purpose of this project is to improve the durability of the structure as a holding strategy for the next 10 to 15 years to decide whether or not the bridge will be replaced.” Most of the work will keep the bridge open to at least one lane of traffic until a short full closure period in September of next year. By that time a new bridge at Carrying Place will be complete as well as rehabilitation of the Quinte Skyway bridge at Deseronto.

Happy 150th Birthday, Canada! BY JOHN M. SMITH

Communities across Canada will be celebrating our 150th birthday on July 1, and it’ll be an especially festive, exciting time to be a Canadian. Ottawa, being our capital, will be at centre-stage for this event, but celebratory events and opportunities will be available right across our great land, whether one happens to be in Vancouver, British Columbia on Canada’s west coast, St. John’s, Newfoundland on our east coast, at Whitehorse in the Yukon, or right here at West Zwick’s Island Park in Belleville (with this year’s expanded 3-day celebration). Just get out and enjoy! I’ve previously written about many of our national parks and advocated visiting some of them this particular year, for entrance fees have been waived as part of our birthday celebrations. This is also true for various historic sites and marine conservation areas – and there’s also no charge to use Parks Canada locks on our historic canals. For more information, check out Parks Canada’s website: www.pc.gc.ca/en/index. Via Rail has offered a “Canada 150 Youth Pass”, allowing travelers between 12 and 25 to travel anywhere in Canada during the month of July for $150.00, and this has proven to be overwhelmingly popular. This pass was also available to those over 25 who held an International Student Identity Card (ISIC). Furthermore, Via Rail has produced a blog, celebrating the year’s events (https://blog.viarail.ca/2017/02/03/ canada-150).

CBC Radio has launched a national storytelling project entitled “What’s Your Story?”, and several of these will be shared throughout the year (www.cbc.ca/2017). Some will also be featured in a digital and hardcover book to be published this autumn: “What’s Your Story? – A Canada 2017 Yearbook”.

Well. more than 300 entries were received, and the winning logo was created by Ariana Cuvin, from Toronto. It’s comprised of a series of diamonds arranged in the shape of a maple leaf, with the four diamonds at the base representing the four original provinces that formed Confederation in 1867 (Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia). Additional diamonds extend out from this base and create nine more points, completing today’s total of 10 provinces and 3 territories. Were you also aware that on the

day after our birthday, some residents and visitors from both sides of the Ottawa River will enjoy an interprovincial picnic on the Alexandra Bridge? Apparently many did know about this, for it’s completely sold out. There’s something very special about Canada! Although I like travelling, and writing about far-off, unique destinations, I also always enjoy returning to my homeland. On this special occasion, our 150th, I fondly remember some of the highlights of my Canadian adventures. For example, one of my favourite trips was to Churchill in northern Manitoba, where I studied and photographed polar bears from the safety of a tundra buggy. I also fondly remember going out on a small boat

off Canada’s west coast, at Tofino, to watch black bears searching for food along the shoreline in the wee hours of the morning. Other Canadian highlights have included a heli-hiking trip in the Rockies, a helicopter tour over Niagara Falls, an excursion out onto the Columbia Icefield, a visit to the world’s smallest desert at Carcross, boat tours of the Thousand Islands and Georgian Bay Islands National Park, camping trips to Banff National Park, Wood Buffalo National Park, and Algonquin Provincial Park, driving tours of the Icefields Parkway, Gaspe Peninsula, Magdalen Islands, and the Cabot Trail, a whale watching expedition at Tadoussac, gold panning in the Yukon, and watching a sunrise at Cape Spear, Canada’s most easterly point. As an avid cyclist, I’ve also pedaled across this country, from west coast to east coast, and Canada’s size and landscape certainly provided me with plenty of challenges - but what a feeling of accomplishment and of really ‘knowing’ the land! In addition to this memorable cycling adventure trek, I’ve also driven from ocean to ocean, and I’ve explored much of our nation by both air and train, too. Through my travels, I’ve come to the conclusion that we’re extremely fortunate to be living in such a beautiful, large, diversified, and enchanting country! Now that we’re celebrating our 150th birthday as a nation, this might be the perfect year for you to go exploring right here in our very own wonderful country!

CAS leads aboriginal initiatives BY JACK EVANS

As Canada marked National Aboriginal Day on June 21 last week, officials of the Highland Shores Children’s Aid Society reminded that it and related CAS branches across Ontario have been proactive in such issues for some time. A statement issued by Bonnie Perrigard, communications co-ordinator, on behalf of the agency, notes that Highland Shores CAS, which serves Northumberland, Hastings and Prince Edward counties already has “collaborative working relationships with the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte and the Alderville First Nation. “We are

also honoured to have appointees to the society’s Aboriginal Advisor Committee from both these communities,” she said. “Despite historical and current challenges, we are celebrating the progress made locally to date and our plans to continue to move forward in the future. The goal is to achieve together an inclusive circle of care that keeps children safe and families supported.” The statement continued: “Another important step in the process is restoration of jurisdiction for provision of child welfare services. As of April this year, (one aboriginal community) has assumed responsibility for seven Lake Huron North Shore First Nations.”

Another unit, Dnaagdawenmag Binnoojiiyag Child and Family Services has been moving through a similar process for several years “When that designation is complete,” said the CAS, “all child welfare services for the Highland Shores area, with the exception of the Bay of

Quinte Mohawks, will be serviced by that agency in consultation with their aboriginal communities.” Perrigard explained that the Mohawk exclusion was a choice of the band itself. To that end, the agency lends is support to a number of recommendations contained in the Truth and Reconcilia-

tion Commission report to the federal government. Pwerrigard also referred to the recently-passed Child, Youth and Family Services Act in Ontario. One of its key goals is to “make services more inclusive and culturally appropriate for all children, youth and families.”

Entrepreneurs In Action – QUINTE WEST SWAP & SELL It’s a swap and sell where great customer service is always free Twenty years in business. That’s long hours. That’s hard work. That’s perseverance. And while there are many facets, we know that one ingredient must be present to achieve longevity in business – fantastic relationship building skills. Steve Raymond, owner of Quinte West Swap and Sell, possesses that ingredient. He didn’t just open a business. He didn’t just run a business. He built a business - customer by customer, relationship by relationship. Trenval Business Development Corporation was created in 1987 by the Federal Government to support small business and aspiring entrepreneurs. They grow our local economy by lending funds to small business and managing grant programs. Congratulations to this Trenval client and successful Entrepreneur in Action!

He sells entry level guitars to parents who don’t want to spend much prior to knowing if their child is committed. He will buy back the guitar if they decide to later upgrade to one from his more professional lines. He sells 15 movies for $20 – then buys them

back for a modest discount. Steve keeps top-of-the-line bikes in the store and sells them for deeply discounted prices. He doesn’t like junk – he buys or swaps good items gently used and sells them for a fraction of the original cost. Quinte West Swap & Sell guarantee their products are in working order and will return if there is any issue. He started in the spring of 1998 and was in the same location in Trenton for 18 years. He approached the conventional banks to discuss financing to buy his own building and was referred to Trenval, the local Community Futures office, and after working with Amber Darling, Business and Investment Advisor, he met with their investment committee. “They were great. They

were very interested in my business. It was not stressful at all – actually it was kind of cool”. Steve bought his own building at 251 Dufferin Street where he also has Tangles Hair Salon. Both businesses are all about the customers. Quinte West Swap & Sell keeps a huge inventory of tools for the tradesman and the weekend warrior. RC Cars and paintball guns (they refill CO2), games and gaming systems and all the fun stuff. They sell beautiful diamond rings and gold next to a huge assortment of smartphones. Need a computer? While he keeps laptops in stock, he’ll refer you to his competitor with a larger selection because Steve has cultivated excellent relationships with

other area swap shops. He has had the same clients since his doors opened two decades ago – that speaks volumes for his quality merchandise and one-onone customer service. His son Greg has inherited his honesty and fair-trade traits. Greg and Steve share the business with the goal that one day Greg will take over – but Steve doesn’t imagine not always having a hand in it. They always need inventory as they have customers who come in every day to shop for new items. CASH PAID. They accept debit, Mastercard, Visa and offer an ABM in the store. The Board and Staff of Trenval congratulate Steve Raymond and are proud to have been a part of his success story!

The Good Earth Important Gardening Things, Not.

By Dan Clost When I was young and starry-eyed, un rêveur, “proper” gardening was defined by a rigid set of principles and practices. Arithmetic was very important. (I scrupulously avoid using the term “math” unless calculus or quantum mechanics are the exercise of the moment.) So much so, that in one of my first columns I very carefully worked out how many seeds needed to be sown to ensure the requisite number of plants would be available. So many percent added to account for germination rates, so many more to account for transplant losses, etc. etc. That is not something I do anymore. I suppose if I worked at one of the great seed companies this really would be important but...I don’t. If you open up seed packets of onions, or carrots or marigolds you can see that if one or two don’t germinate, you’ll never know. If you buy a packet of specialized

geraniums or petunias you would quickly discover they have only six or seven seeds. Two things usually happen at this point- we will respond to your phone call and let you know that the number of seeds is noted on the front of the packet and, most importantly, you will pay close attention to the nurturing of those little golden nuggets. Some gardeners will think this arithmetic exercise is still important but not me. What I have learned is that providing the seeds with the proper cultural environment is more important. Another activity which involves ratios- still arithmeticis composting, i.e. C: N=30:1 Here is a short excerpt from Rodale’s online:” An ideal compost pile should start with a 30:1 C/N ratio. Fresh grass clippings alone have about a 20:1 C/N ratio. Building your pile with one part grass clippings or other green matter to two parts dead leaves or other brown matter will give you the right mix.” Gentle Reader, they’re absolutely right. In fact when I set up my composting area I constructed a huge holding bin for all the “browns” so they would be to hand whenever I trimmed the greensward or we emptied the household compost pot. I even had an extensive list of the C: N ratios of just about every plant that might grow in the province. So, part of the challenge with this is that I don’t rake up grass clippings. Another factor is that I don’t have as much time as I did back then. Actually, I suppose I do; however, it’s just that it takes

me a titch longer to accomplish things these days. What is important to know is that all organic matter breaks down over time and, if you create an environment acceptable to all the little critters, fungi, bacteria, you just need patience. Mind you, I have a broken garden fork handle which I use to poke aeration holes if the bin gets a bit wet: I pour in a bucket of water if it gets to dry. When I was designing our first garden beds I spent hours incorporating the Big Ten (variety, emphasis, repetition, balance, sequence, scale, line, form, texture, and colour) into every square inch. My designs were exquisitely intricate, so much so that very few observers were able to discern their complexity. The challenge that has arisen after three plus decades of gardening is that we continue to plants and they have to go somewhere. The reality is that the plants get tucked into a spot appropriate to their needs. There is one small consideration that I use to create a semblance of unity: triangles. As long as the triangle is visible (either explicitly or discerned by the subconscious), gardens almost always flow. The triangle can be in one bed spread out across several beds. Triangles can be made up of plants with similar foliage, flowers of similar colour (think triadic or analogous combinations on the colour wheel) or even inorganic objects such as stones. What is important about our gardens is that we like them.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

My Canada

Dear editor, I love my country. I was born here and will be buried here in the rich Canadian soil. God blessed my parents with eight babies who are now, along with their children, proud citizens of this great land. Sure, we have our problems, like any other nation, but we are a kind, caring and peace-loving

people who try to do right by all, on and off our shores. Our Lord must have fashioned Canada after His heaven. Every province and territory has its own beauty. The majestic diversity of our homeland is unparalleled. Few countries in our world enjoy the mountains, oceans, prairies, frozen tundra, beaches, national

parks, historical cities and amusement parks – to name a few. We enjoy our precious freedom because Canadian citizens, just like us, fought and shed their blood for us. Freedom is not free! Happy 150th Birthday, Canada, and may we always be worthy of you. Marie Kelleher June 2017

MP Mike Bossio welcomes release of study on suicide crisis BY SUE DICKENS suedickens.wordsmith@gmail.com

Ottawa — Mike Bossio, MP for Hastings — Lennox and Addington welcomes the June 20 release of the Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs report “Breaking Point: the Suicide Crisis in Indigenous Communities.” “I welcome the release of the committee’s report on the suicide crisis,” said Bossio. “For too long this crisis has been allowed to take brothers, sisters, parents, and children from their loved ones. It is time that we work together in partnership with Indigenous peoples to help end this crisis for good.” Rates of suicide are disproportionately high among Canada’s Indigenous peoples, and the committee’s report focuses on finding solutions to this crisis. The report contains 28 recommendations that address the health, social, economic, and cultural factors that affect the health and well-being of Indigenous peoples. They recognize the complexity of mental health issues and reflect the view that there is no single solution that will address the rates of suicide in Indigenous communities. Rather, long term solutions will require a united effort across Indigenous organizations, governments and sectors working together to address

conditions that give rise to mental distress. Bossio state that he is “Looking forward to further action from the federal government to fight this crisis, and to Canada’s continuing efforts to renew

its nation-to-nation relationship with Indigenous peoples.” Underscoring the need for action, the report was passed unanimously by all parties represented on the committee.

County committee supports new minimum wage BY JACK EVANS

If one were to collectively ask Hastings County administration what they thought of a new, $15 minimum wage, the answer would come with a thumbs up. The most recent Ontario budget prompted a call for Hastings County’s director of human and housing services, Erin Rivers, to give a commentary to the county

oversight committee last week. Rivers summed it up as essentially progressive, with strong prospects for an easement in costs for the county in the future. Asked specifically about the increased minimum wage, she applauded the move, as well, saying it would help some of her department’s clients to be more self. The wage request came from Quinte West Councillor Dave McCue, who suggested the hike

Survivors

might result in fewer employees being hired. (There was no mention that as a business cost, wages are written off by taxation.) Rivers remained confident that the move would still prove valuable. She also commented on an over-budget drain from an inordinate number of indigent burials in recent months. A portion of that can be reclaimed from other sources, she added. Coun. McCue also questioned

the welfare caseload statistics for “heads of family” aged 18 or under. Rivers explained that since people that age are independent, they automatically qualify as head of family at least for themselves. Her detailed breakdown of welfare recipients also showed the largest single age category was 25 to 34. Also, the largest categories for education were from Grades 9 to 11 , at more than 1,200 each

Today, more people are surviving cancer than ever before.

CELEBRATION OF SAVINGS!

tobeattheodds;onewithgreatcourageandstrength;atrueinspiration Research funded by the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) is making progress. Today, more people are surviving cancer than ever before. Our investments in research over the decades have yielded many remarkable insights into how cancer develops and have greatly improved our ability to detect and treat the disease. Today, more than 63 per cent of adults are surviving at least five years after being diagnosed with cancer. In the 1940s, the survival rate was 25 per cent. The following are just a few examples of how CCS-funded research is working towards improving cancer survival: • Dr. Guy Sauvageau from the Université de Montréal led a study of two forms of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and identified a pattern of gene activity shared by the two subsets. This could lead to an improvement in how AML is diagnosed and how treatments can be tailored, which can improve survival. • Another study completed just over a year ago showed through a trial that, the addition of temozolomide to a shortened course of radiation

plus 528 post–secondary. Only 97 claimants were in the public school education level. Rivers was also pleased to report that the county’s application for the new provincial homeless initiative has been approved in the amount of $38,000. She also reported that capital repairs and improvements to county-owned affordable housing units are mostly coming in well under budget.

therapy, followed by monthly maintenance doses, reduced the risk of death of patients with glioblastoma by 33 per cent without compromising their quality of life. The trial was conducted for elderly patients with glioblastoma. This study was coordinated by Dr. Chris O’Callaghan of Queens University and co-led by Dr. James Perry of Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and Dr. Normand Laperriere of Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. • Advanced medical imaging was used by Dr. Jean-Pierre Bissonnette of the University Health Network, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, to see how tumours respond to radiation therapy. Dr. Bissonnette and his team identified small regions of tumours that are more active and resistant to treatment which may be able to endure higher doses of targeted radiation. A new radiation protocol has been implemented in Canada and the US, which may have a significant impact of improving lung cancer patients’ survival rates.

Hastings native awarded Meritorious Service Medal for work in Syria BY JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com

Hastings — Mark Cameron now has three more letters following his name: MSM. The Hastings native was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal by Governor General David Johnston, on behalf of the Queen, for his “outstanding accomplishments that set an example for others to follow and bring benefit to our country.” Cameron and two others, Dr. Jay Dahman and Dr. Khaled Almilaji, were recognized by the Governor General for their work with the Canadian International Medical Relief Organization (CIMRO) which they founded in 2013. “It caught us quite by surprise, (receiving) the highest humanitarian award that the Queen gives out,” he said. “This is a very big deal,” and it left him “pretty humbled.” Cameron earned his first set of letters, MB, when he was awarded the Medal of Bravery from the Governor General’s Office in 2014 for his role three years earlier in freeing a young girl whose foot had become trapped in a piece of farm machinery on a farm near Havelock. He's currently the vice-president of the nonprofit humanitarian organization that teaches emergency field medicine in disaster zones globally, especial-

ly Syria which he has visited numerous times to provide aid since civil war erupted there in 2011. The conflict between the regime of president Bashar al-Assad and opposition factions has cost 400,000 Syrians their lives, and forced more than five million others to flee the country. It's been “a really strange ride,” said Cameron, a paramedic educator at Sunnybrook Health Sciences in Toronto for the Advanced Life Support Educator Program. It began when he and Dahman, his colleague and friend of many years, saw these “horrific images on TV” of the violence taking place in Syria, “and it looked like things were about to spiral out control,” Cameron said. Their immediate thought was to “go over there and do something, help the wounded,” he said. “Within two days we were on the ground inside Syria.” Numerous trips followed as the two along with Almilaji volunteered their services to various organizations but “things got to be cumbersome working for other charities,” so the three men decided to strike out on their own, and formed CIMRO. “We found a niche over there for training these doctors in ... what we now call combat medicine in an austere environment,” Cameron said. The organization collaborates with other teams working in Syria and employs hundreds of people. The United

Nations and the World Health Organization are among its clients, and while CIMRO's main function is to educate, “we do a little bit of everything,” Cameron said, from providing winter clothing to running immunization programs to “searching for chemical weapons violations,” which CIMRO did, in proving that sarin and cyanide had been used to kill civilians. CIMRO's reputation has grown such that it gets requests from other countries to train medical personnel. “We now have the experience that nobody else has,” Cameron said. It was acquired at some risk. “I don't want to make it sound like we're putting ourselves in the middle of danger all the time because a lot of the trips we've been super safe, as secure as I would be here (in Hastings),” he said, but “the country's generally very dangerous,” and there have been times when his life was put in peril. As happened when a small band of ISIS members showed up at the hospital where he was working and demanded the Syrians “to give us up to them,” which they refused. “Honest to God, I was scared to death,” Cameron said. On another occasion he and Dahman were caught late at night in the crossfire between two feuding groups. Paramedic educator Mark Cameron now has five letters behind his Their van was “riddled with bullets” name: MB for Medal of Bravery, and MSM for Meritorious Service Medal. but they managed to crawl to safety in a nearby shop.

both groups and “settled things down.” Cameron admits to feeling despair at times but his motto is “Do your best for one patient at a time.” It's a commitment that has cost him dearly, being “a large factor” in

Friends of Ferris guided Canoe routes new county target walks celebrate Canada 150 BY JACK EVANS

BY SUE DICKENS suedickens.wordsmith@gmail.com

Campbellford — Celebrating Canada 150 the Friends of Ferris (FoF) organization has some big shoes to fill as they set two major goals as part of the guided walks program at the park. Walkers, led by FoF volunteer Carol Robertson, who has been conducting the tour for years, are working hard to accumulate the collective kilometres equivalent to the distance from Campbellford to the Parliament buildings in Ottawa (225 kms). The group began on May 2 and by July 1 they hope to have that distance completed. Setting themselves another marker the walkers will total their collective kilometres to reach the equivalent distance from Canada’s east coast to the west coast (7,471 kms). They hope to meet that goal by Dec. 12.

To do this walkers have been meeting every Tuesday at Ferris Provincial Park, rain or shine, at the east end of the Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge at 9 a.m. when they walk for about one hour. In each case, the distance walked on Tuesday is being multiplied by the number of people in attendance (for example, 3.5 kms. X 10 people = 35.0 kms). “Our progress will be displayed in chart form and on a map of Canada located on the kiosk at the suspension bridge,” Robertson told the Trent Hills News. In addition, walkers attending enter their names for the chance to win a draw prize each week. Prizes have been provided by ParticipACTION. “So please join us, learn more about Ferris Provincial Park and at the same time, celebrate Canada,” said Robertson.

In its quest to expand tourism, Hastings County is now looking at routes for canoe and kayak enthusiasts. County officials concluded there are many scenic rivers, streams and lakes in the county that are under-explored and suitable for small craft. This came to light when Reeve Carl Tinney, at a meeting of the Finance Committee of the Whole, questioned an expenditure to a company called “Floating Point.” At a cost of $1,446, he wondered whether county staff were taking a canoe trip or something similar.

Mayor JoAnne Albert explained it as part of a new tourism initiative to identify potential canoe and kayak routes in many of the county’s more remote areas. The company is a consulting firm to find and map such areas, she said. There is also an initiative to have writers do stories on some of the county’s lesserknown treasures, Economic Development Chief Andrew Redden added. Much of the brief saw Albert reporting on Association of Municipalities of Ontario activities and their impact on county communities. Like all other county committees, finance will skip a July meeting.

Campbellford community radio station turns 25 on Canada Day BY JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com

Campbellford — Saturday July 1, will be doubly significant for Dave Lockwood. It's the 150th anniversary of Canada becoming a nation, and it's the 25th anniversary of the day his not-for-profit community radio station went on the air. The Canada Day celebrations will take place at Old Mill Park, the same spot Lockwood chose as the venue for CKOL's very first show in 1992. “When we signed on from the waterfront at 11 o'clock you could almost feel the people saying, 'They'll never make it,'” Lockwood said. But CKOL has, through the perseverance of its founder and general manager, and the support shown it by steadfast sponsors, faithful listeners and a dedicated group of volunteers who are its on-air personalities. Having his own radio station had been a dream of Lockwood's since he was a young man but once he set about making it come true, it turned into “a nightmare” because he “didn't know how much work was going to be involved in it,” he said with a laugh. He was rejected four times by the Canadian Radio-television

It was largely a one-man opera- teers” have come and gone over “Some of them went on to broadcasting.” Carey Marsden, from Alderville First Nation, “took her training here” and later became a reporter at Global TV, Lockwood said. “What I feel good about is the

mentoring, to take people with very little self-confidence,” and raise it to a level “where they can get on stage and grab a microphone and talk to people,” he said. Lockwood, who's 80, said seniors are “a very, very important part” of CKOL's audience as they constitute “probably 60 per cent of the people in our listening area.” There are about 30,000 listeners within reach of the station's signal, which, with the help of a secondary transmitter in Madoc, can be heard as far away as Norwood, Tweed, Belleville and Brighton. The station plays a broad mix of music and reports on local news and events, sometimes live on location. The station gets involved in the community; it's raised more than $60,000 for Campbellford Memorial Hospital over the past two years. CKOL's mission is to support Canadian content, promote local and regional artists, promote community events, support local businesses, and promote Trent Hills and area. With a budget of $50,000 that requires fundraisers to provide much-needed revenue, the station is “sustaining” itself, but “it's touch and go,” Lockwood said. “I feel guilty not being able to pay everybody what they're worth but they're coming in here and they're having fun playing their stuff, meeting a lot of people,” he said. Their reward is “the fellowship” they find.

She spent two months in respite care at Island Park Retirement Residence and where she was staying looked out on the “beautiful historic building” on Trent Drive that once was home to a tannery. Many of its windows on the west side are covered over with plywood and they look ugly, Fox said. One day it came to her how to improve their appearance: Place painted panels in the openings featuring the official flowers of Canada's 10 provinces and three territories. She got the permission of the building's owner, Larry Healey, and then recruited 10 artist friends last summer to join her in the project: Susan Brown, Paula Buck, Lawrence Cotton, Jean Cotton, Agnes Lee (who was helped by her daughter, Valerie Tinney), Phyllis Léger, Beth Phillips, Barbara Pechkovsky, Lynn White and Violet White. Each paid $100 for the five-foot

West Women's Institute, Bemersyde IODE, Charlie Davidson and Velma Doherty. “I was very happy to participate and look forward to seeing them all on display,” said Phillips, who chose Saskatchewan and its western red lily because red is her favourite colour. Léger chose New Brunswick because that's where she was born. “It's probably the biggest painting I've ever done, of course, (and) probably for most of us,” she said. “It's been fun.” She also helped Fox with painting Manitoba's prairie crocus. “I got into it and got excited about it,” said Violet White, who painted the pitcher plant of Newfoundland and Labrador. Brown, who painted Ontario's trillium, said she and her husband Brian nicknamed their friend “Gayle Force” because if she hadn't been “the force pulling it together and pushing us I don't think it would have come together as well as it did.” Fox said she's “anxious for Canada Day to come” because she's “thrilled” the panels will be on display this Saturday at Old Mill Park (the following weekend they will be shown at the Incredible Edibles Festival).
