Like father like daughter in Quinte West Sports Wall of Fame BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton — The Quinte West Sports Wall of Fame has some new faces on the wall after the 9th annual induction ceremony at the Quinte West YMCA on Saturday July 8. Jamie Seniuk, this year’s guest speaker, was one of this year’s 14 inductees celebrated during a ceremony with more than 100 guests in attendance, honouring the athletes, championship teams and builders who have excelled in an athletic or leadership capacity in Quinte West. “What is truly special about this wall of fame is that all three types of inductees are needed, you can’t have a successful team without the athletes, you can’t have the athletes without the builders and you can’t have the builders without the teams,” said Seniuk. Seniuk has also followed in her late father’s footsteps. Don McFadden was inducted into the wall in 2012 as a builder, “Which is completely fitting as he was the one who built me into the athlete that I became,” she said. Born and raised in Frankford, Seniuk said her parents gave her every opportunity to be successful and excel in sports. She began playing soccer and basketball at age five and transitioned to volleyball and basketball as a teenager. By the time she attended Trenton’s St. Paul Catholic Secondary School, Seniuk excelled and became a member

of the Quinte Cougars, Trenton Elks, Belleville Spirits and the Ganaraska Wolves volleyball team, competing at the provincial level and playing at the Canadian National Junior championship in 1999. Seniuk was awarded the Ontario Volleyball Association Award of Excellence in 1999 and was named Athlete of the Year four years in a row at St. Paul and inducted into the St. Paul

Hall of Fame. After high school, Seniuk attended Barton College in North Carolina and played both volleyball and basketball. Seniuk said she went to Barton College with something to prove, to show them who the girl from Frankford, Ontario was, and she did just that. “My biggest accomplishment there was leaving my mark as that Canadian girl at that school,” she said.

Seniuk won numerous athletic awards and in October 2016 she became the first Canadian to be inducted into Barton College’s Athletic Hall of Fame. Looking back, Seniuk said the things she remembers most are the experiences and memories she made through sports. “There’s a remarkable gift that sports instil on all athletes, that internal drive, determination, confidence, respect and team oriented mindset that can’t be taught anywhere else but on the court or on the field,” she said. “In the words of a very wise man, ‘you’re number one in my heart and number one in my program,’ thank you dad, I love you.” Boat racer Bill Ireland, hockey player and coach Corey Ignas, boxer Glenn Dafoe, and dirt track racer John Morgan were this year’s four other inductees in the athletes category. Inductees in the builder category were Bill Hanthorn, Brian Blakely, Chuck O’Malley, and Gary Pearson. Championship teams inducted were Trenton High School’s 2016 Senior Boys Rugby team, Trenton High School’s 2016 Senior Girls Rugby team, 2015-2016 Trenton Golden Hawks, Royal Canadian Legion Branch 110 Senior Bowling and 2017 RCAF Trenton Vintage Flyers. To date, 82 athletes, 155 builders and 78 teams have been inducted into the Quinte West Sports Wall of Fame.

Pleads to manslaughter, QW man released on bail

New plate technology allows police to crack down on vehicle-related crimes BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – As Belleville Police Const. Brad Stitt drives his traffic safety unit vehicle through town, he hears an audible ping after ping. Every once in while, he hears a siren-like sound. It means the new technology in his vehicle, the Automated Licence Plate Recognition System, has spotted a licence plate connected to a driver associated with a crime or infraction. Belleville Police demonstrated the new technology, known simply as ALPRS, to media and city councillors July 5 and hailed it as a new tool that will help them crack down on criminals and appease the public’s request for safer streets. They also say the technology allows officers to work more effectively and with fewer distractions, as it removes the onus on them to pull over and make notes on vehicles they’re investigating. “This equipment is a game-changer for our traffic officers,” said Stitt. “Before, officers had to input licence plates one at a time, using a mobile tablet computer. On a good day, an officer may check 200 plates. Now, using ALPR, several thousand plates can be checked in the same time period.” So far, Belleville Police have just one ALPRS in use. The system costs $40,000 per vehicle, so it isn’t cheap. The system involves three cameras, set in positions so the system can detect the licence plates of vehicles passing from the opposite direction and approaching from behind. When an image of a licence plate registers, the system automatically checks to see if it matches with a licence plate already recorded in the system. The system has about 12 million licence plates on its “hot list.” It’s a high number because it represents licence plates known to police units, not just in Ontario, but across North America. Those on the hot list could be there for any number of reasons, representing different levels of seriousness. The system could find a vehicle registered for a driver who’s wanted somewhere for homicide. It also spots vehicles registered to drivers with suspended licences (perhaps because of an impaired driving charge) or vehicles that have been reported as stolen. It will also spot vehicles owned by a driver who simply hasn’t re-registered their licence plate sticker. Stitt stressed that the public should not perceive the system as an infringement on their privacy. When the system finds a licence plate that isn’t on the “hot list” – as is the case the majority of time – the information is instantly deleted. Plus the “siren sound” that indicates a hot list match, may not be a situation which requires police to take immediate action. Stitt said the program could find that a vehicle is connected to someone with an expired driver’s licence. But, upon

pulling the person over, police could find the vehicle is registered to a Canadian Forces member who’s been working overseas and a family member is driving the vehicle. So, in that case, it’s likely no police action would be required. And those with an expired licence plate sticker, may simply be given a message to get to Service Ontario and renew the plate. “It may not be a nefarious situation,” said Stitt, shortly after hearing the siren ring. “That’s why you need a police officer to operate it.” He and Belleville Police Chief Ron Gignac are excited about the new technology, because it increases police’s opportunity to find people associated with serious crimes. When there’s a serious theft suspects “don’t walk out 99 per cent of the time,” Gignac said. Often, criminals are moving goods with a vehicle. Also, crimes related to human trafficking, human smuggling and gang activities are almost always committed by suspects with vehicles. The ALPRS exponentially increases police’s ability to find a suspect wanted for those types of crimes. “We’re getting those people right now, as we speak,” said Gignac. He added that he hopes to add more ALPRS systems to Belleville Police vehicles over the years, as many police units across Ontario, such as the Ontario Provincial Police, and Ottawa Police Services, are using the system, too.

Belleville - A Quinte West man has pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of manslaughter in the 2016 beating death of a man. Joshua Hickey, 31, had originally been charged with second degree murder in the death of 63-year-old Alvin Morrison after a night of drinking and rough-housing went awry on Oct. 11, 2016. Hickey, who admitted to beating Morrison with his fists – Morrison later dying of blunt force trauma to the head – was permitted by Justice Geoffrey Griffin to remain out of custody on bail in order to spend time with family before what Griffin promised would be a lengthy prison stay for the conviction. Hickey has a previous criminal record for violence and Griffin warned his stay in jail will be for some period of time, but allowed the Quinte West man to stay with family in the Bancroft area on $50,000 surety-posted bail. The plea deal and the bail decision angered members of Morrison’s family, who stormed out of the court room at Belleville court last week on hearing Griffin’s decision. The man has been in jail for nine months awaiting the most recent court proceeding and had asked Griffin time to explain to his

five young boys why he would be going back to jail for what is expected to be a much longer stay. Earlier in the day, Hickey took the stand pleading with the court to grant him a short-term bail so that he could explain to his young sons why he has been incarcerated for nine months and to prepare them for the future. He explained how he and his children’s mother agreed they don’t want the kids to see him behind bars now and when he goes to prison. “It has been a long nine months and I want them to know that I am okay,” Hickey said shaking from admitted anxiety. “I want to be able to explain to them where I will be going for the next few years.” Evidence submitted by Crown Adam Zegouras showed the victim, Morrison, had been drinking with Joshua Hickey’s father, Albert Hickey, on the day of his death. Albert Hickey and Morrison engaged in some goodnatured horseplay, the court was told, during which Albert Hickey fell and hit

his head. Joshua Hickey was not part of the drinking binge with his father and Morrison, but upon finding his father motionless on the ground, called 911. Court heard Morrison attempted to pull Albert Hickey up to his feet and Joshua Hickey grew angry that Morrison continued to do so, despite being told to stop. Evidence showed Joshua Hickey punched Morrison multiple times with a closed fist and the older man was taken to Trenton Memorial Hospital where he was later pronounced dead. Albert Hickey, for his part, sustained significant head trauma and was airlifted to Kingston General Hospital for treatment and has since made a full recovery. Zegouras was opposed to granting bail to Hickey and cited Hickey’s criminal record for assault, impaired driving, breach of probation and failing to attend court. Hickey is out on bail until August 18 when a pre-sentencing report will be submitted to Griffin.

Belleville judge rips OPP for ‘strip search,’ stays impaired charge against Quinte West woman BY JACQUES GALLANT

Toronto Star Belleville - As Ontario’s police watchdog continues its systemic review of police strip search practices across the province, a Belleville judge has come down strongly on an OPP detachment for failing to follow the law around the controversial practice. Ontario court Justice Elaine Deluzio stayed impaired driving charges last month against Jillian Judson, who was told by officers to remove her underwire bra, when there were no reasonable grounds to do so, after she was taken to the police station in May 2016. Deluzio said she was not only concerned with what happened to Judson, but also with the fact that the officers involved testified that they would continue to ask female detainees to remove their bras.

“The indifference expressed by both Officers (Amanda) MacFadden and (Janet) Allaire to their obligation as police officers to abide by the legal constraints surrounding strip searches is very concerning,” Deluzio wrote. “And the apparent willingness of both officers, and possibly other police officers at Quinte West OPP detachment, to continue with a practice of removing at least every underwire bra worn by female detainees, knowing that this practice, when implemented automatically and without exception towards every female detainee, is illegal, is an egregious abuse of police power.” Strip searching is “inherently humiliating and degrading,” the Supreme Court of Canada ruled in a landmark case 15 years ago, and should only be done when there are reasonable grounds to do so, such as

looking for weapons or evidence related to the arrest. Yet police officers across the province have continued to conduct what judges have deemed to be illegal strip searches, where there were no grounds to have detainees remove their clothes. The illegal searches have resulted in lawsuits against police and criminal cases being tossed. The situation became so bad that the Office of the Independent Police Review Director announced last July that it was launching a provincewide, systemic review into police strip search practices. The review is ongoing. “I’ve had enough,” Gerry McNeilly, the independent police director, told the Star last year. “There is no regard being given to the rules.” Judson’s Belleville lawyer, Pieter Kort, said police cannot argue that the law isn’t clear around strip searches given the judicial condemnation of police conduct in the past, and again in Deluzio’s ruling. “The police can no longer take the position that they were unaware of what the law was,” he told the Star. “There’s no uncertainty now. It cannot be said that there’s any question with what the law is with respect to strip searches.” A spokesperson for the Ontario Provincial Police said the force accepts Deluzio’s ruling and is reviewing it, but that the officers would not be commenting. Aside from the general training all police officers receive at the Ontario Police College, the OPP’s procedures on searches of arrested individuals are also covered “regularly” in training sessions at the Ontario Provincial Police Academy, said OPP Staff Sgt. Carolle Dionne.

“While I can’t anticipate the results of the OIPRD review, the OPP will certainly take into account the findings and take the necessary steps to remedy any identified issue(s),” she said. In a sworn statement filed in court, Judson said she was told she had to remove her bra for safety reasons, and said she felt “extremely uncomfortable.” “Having to be in that state in front of strangers was intensely embarrassing,” she said. “Having no control over being made to remove personal items or where or how to remove them as a 35-year-old woman was degrading and humiliating.” Officer Amanda MacFadden testified that she has female inmates remove their bras “for their safety and ours,” and said that in the past she’s found objects in underwire bras including bear mace and crack cocaine. She also testified that she was unaware at the time of her encounter with Judson that asking a woman to remove her bra is a strip search. She

said she has since been told by a senior officer that the removal is indeed a strip search, but MacFadden also said she has not changed her practice. “She says that she was taught that the removal of an underwire bra is a ‘normal part’ of searching someone in police custody and so she still does this,” Deluzio wrote. “She believes that anyone wearing an underwire bra poses a danger to police.” After removing her bra, Judson entered a room to give breath samples with a white blanket wrapped around her chest area, as shown on video that was presented in court. The readings on the breath samples were 150 mg of alcohol in 100 mL of blood, nearly double the legal limit, according to the ruling. The breath tech officer, Janet Allaire, testified that she knew Judson wasn’t wearing a bra “because she expects that every female prisoner she deals with has removed her bra.” She said she had been trained to have female detainees remove their bras, and was unaware until this case that the removal constituted a strip search. “Officer Allaire said she had not changed her practice,” Deluzio wrote. “She said she had not been asked to change her practice and she said she is not aware of any new training at the detachment dealing with the searching of female prisoners.”

OPINION

North Korea’s intercontinental ballistic missles “American bastards would be not very happy with this gift sent on the July 4 anniversary,” said North Korean leader Kim Jongun about his country’s first successful test of an interconballistic Gwynne Dyer tinental missile (ICBM) on Wednesday. And indeed Americans are not happy about it, although it would be overstating the case to say that panic is sweeping the United States at the news that North Korea’s ICBMs can now reach America. One reason for the lack of public panic is that Alaska is not a central concern for most Americans, and Alaska is the only part of the United States that North Korea’s Hwasong-14 missile can actually reach. Another reason is that the US authorities insist that North Korea’s nuclear weapons are too big and heavy to fit on its ICBMs. (It’s not clear whether they have actual intelligence that confirms this, or are just whistling in the dark.) And a third reason might be that Americans are secretly embarrassed by the sheer hypocrisy of their own government’s position in this affair. Well, no, not really. The vast majority of Americans are blissfully unaware that there is any hypocrisy involved in demanding that North Korea refrain from getting what the United States has had for the past 72 years. So is the US government. US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was being entirely sincere when he said that North Korea’s ICBM test “represents a new escalation of the threat to the United States, our allies and partners, the region, and the world.” Wrong, but entirely sincere. He is obviously aware that the United States has had nuclear weapons since 1945, and has even dropped them on Asian cities. He knows that his country has had ICBMs since the 1950s, and still has hundreds ready to launch on short notice. How is the American posture different from the one that North Korea aspires to? Two differences, really. One is that the United States has at least a hundred times as many nuclear weapons as North Korea, and delivery vehicles at least two technological generations further down the road.

Another is that the United States has a clearly stated policy that says it might use nuclear weapons first in a conflict. Weirdly, this just makes American ICBMs sound more dangerous than North Korea’s. That’s not really true. The United States used its first nuclear weapons as soon as it got them in 1945, but despite all the wars it has waged in the 72 years since then it has never used them again. Nuclear weapons are so terrifying that they actually force the people who possess them to think seriously about the consequences of using them. North Korea will probably have ICBMs that can reach big American cities in three to five years if it keeps up the current pace of development and testing. That would buy North Korea a limited degree of safety from an American nuclear attack, because one or more of its missiles might survive a US first strike and be able to carry out a “revenge from the grave.” That is how nuclear deterrence works, at least in theory. But even full-range nuclear-tipped ICBMs would not give the North Korean regime the ability to launch a nuclear attack on America (or Japan, or South Korea) without being exterminated in an immediate, massive nuclear counter-strike. So you can probably trust the North Korean regime not to do anything so terminally stupid – unless people like Kim Jung-un are literally crazy. That’s why American diplomats work so hard to convince everybody else that the North Koreans really are frothing mad, impervious to logic, and not even interested in self-preservation. Only then can they argue that the North Koreans should be denied nuclear weapons, although Americans, Russians, Chinese, British, French, Israelis, Indians and Pakistanis can be trusted with them. There is no evidence that the North Koreans really are crazy. In the 64 years since the end of the Korean War they have never risked a war, and they are extremely unlikely to do so now. And while there is a rather erratic leader in Washington at the moment, there are probably enough grown-ups around him to avoid any fatal mistakes on the American side either. So North Korea will probably get its nuclear deterrent in the end, and we will all learn to live with it – like we learned to live with mutual US-Russian nuclear deterrence, mutual US-Chinese nuclear deterrence, and mutual Indian-Pakistani nuclear deterrence.

When our young go off into the world Comment by Chris Malette There could have been no more devastating year for the parents, family and friends of three lost Belleville teens than 1996. In that year, the city reeled from the news that three teens in the span of several months were murdered – one in Daytona Beach, Florida; one in Bermuda and a third in Toronto. So it is, then, that those families must be suffering the memories that sure came rushing back when the headlines hit this past week that mostly all began “Belleville teen dies in…” The loss of St. Theresa student Alex Sagriff, a sparkler of a young woman as described in social media memories, photographs of her playing basketball at St. T’s and reminiscences of family, is no less devastating to those friends and families than the fate of the `96 teens. In March, 1996, Mark Fyke, then a 19-year-old Nicholson Catholic College student, was vacationing in Daytona Beach with several friends from Belleville. He went to a pay phone near his hotel to call his mom, Chris, when Donald Shoup, then 18, walked up to Fyke and demanded Fyke’s wallet shortly before shooting him dead. Mark’s mom, mercifully, did not hear the shot that killed her son. His legacy is the Random Acts of Kindness Week we all celebrate annually in Belleville on the anniversary of his death. Rebecca Middleton would have been 38 this year. But, in July, 1996, the bubbly, trusting young woman was raped, stabbed repeatedly and left to die on the purported island paradise that is Bermuda. The case of her death was horrific not only for the details at which she met her fate, but for the prolonged, agonizing trial by tears her parents had to endure in the years after her murder. “She’s still part of the family; it’s just that she’s not with us,” Dave Middleton says of his late daughter in a 2016 interview with The Toronto Star. “It wasn’t her fault that she got killed.” Becky’s mom, Cindy Bennett says she still misses her daughter. She wonders what her girl might have been like now had she, like her two older brothers, been able to grow up, get married and have kids of her own. The teen had been out for an evening of fun in Bermuda and was preparing to return back to town by hailing a cab. When a taxi failed to show, Middleton and her best friend Jasmine Meens, now Jasmine Bumstead, accepted rides on a motorcycle

and moped with two locals. Meens, whose father Rick lived in Bermuda, but who hailed from Belleville, made it home. Middleton, on an extended vacation with Jasmine, did not. The two men charged in the killing were Kirk Mundy, then 21, and Justis Smith, then 19. At the time, Mundy was on bail for the armed robbery of a bank vehicle in November 1995. Mundy pointed the finger at Smith. In exchange for his testimony, Mundy pleaded guilty to being an accessory, while Smith faced a charge of murder. DNA evidence would later show Mundy had raped young Becky. The lead prosecutor on the case left the island a week before Smith’s trial, leaving it to a newcomer to take up the case. After days of evidence, the judge directed the jury to acquit Smith, saying there was not enough evidence against him. Bermuda authorities would later concede the family had suffered a “great injustice,” but nothing changed. A third Belleville teen sadly died with far less attention that year, as his death was overshadowed by the high-profile murders of the other young people. However, it was no less tragic. The young teen boy was in Toronto living a trans or gay lifestyle few talked about in 1996 and the circumstances of his murder on Toronto streets was not widely reported. No less a tragedy, though far less attention paid at the time. Alex Sagriff was with friends on a vacation last week to Varadero, Cuba, with a guided student tour group, S-Tours. It was not a sanctioned trip by either her school or the school board and family this week – the sprawling, gregarious, athletic and loving Sagriff family – were grieving, looking for answers and bringing their young Alex home from foreign shores. There is no good death of a young person under any circumstances. Too, there are few more difficult things for a parent than to watch as our young people go out and make their way, their fun, in the world, hoping and praying as we do to return safely to us.w In some cases, tragically, they do not and it is then that a community rallies around giving silent, but heartfelt support, knowing it could have been any of us with children of our own. To the Sagriff family, peace.

Golden Hawks finalize coaching staff with Butchers leads Oak Hills women assistant coach Patrick Shearer BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton — The Jr. A Trenton Golden Hawks have secured assistant coach Patrick Shearer as the final addition to the new coaching staff for the 2017-18 season. Shearer joins new head coach and general manager Marty Abrams, former coach of the Wellington Dukes, and assistant coach Todd Reid. “Patrick is a local, young, up-and-coming coach who had had great success at the AAA level. He’s very passionate and energetic when it comes to coaching and working with players,” said Abrams. Abrams said Shearer was a natural fit for the G-Hawks, with Shearer having worked with Reid in the past. Shearer spent time as an assistant coach with the Kings-

ton Voyageurs for part of last year’s season, was head coach of the Pickering Panthers before that and spent years coaching with the Quinte Red Devils AAA program. “We really liked his track record and the fact that he knows a lot of the local players. He really wants to work at the junior hockey level and we want to help him develop as a coach,” he said. Speaking of assistant coach Reid, Abrams said he has a mountain of experience. “He’s great at identifying talent and players and he will be working closely on the bench with our defence core. He’s just got so much experience and he is a very patient guy with the defence and that’s what we’re looking for,” he said. Abrams said the G-Hawks have set up a solid foundation

Belleville teen Alex Sagriff dies in Cuba Belleville- Family and friends are mourning the stunning loss of an athletic, ‘fun-loving,’ 18-year old Belleville teen who died Thursday, July 6, during a high-school graduation trip to Cuba. Alex Sagriff, who had just a week before graduated as a Grade 12 student at St. Theresa Catholic Secondary School, was vacationing in Varadero, Cuba, with classmates. Reports said she was found unresponsive in her room at the resort. A letter sent by S-Trip, the agency that organized the trip, to parents and guardians of the students on the trip said the agency’s staff immediately reacted when told of the situation. “Emergency medical services arrived on scene and attempted to resuscitate the individual. Sadly the death was pronounced shortly thereafter and the doctor on scene proclaimed that it was due to natural causes,” read the email. The Sagriff and Davenport families posted a statement on social media on Saturday. “Our family member, 18-year-old Alex Sagriff, died on Thursday night. She was found in her hotel room in Varadero, Cuba,” read the statement. “Our concern right now is trying to get her home. We don’t know much of anything.” “Alex was an amazing young woman, she had a ton of friends and has a ton of family who loves her,” the statement continued, adding a request that reporters respect their privacy. “This is an awful time for our family,” it concluded. Described as a fun-loving student athlete, Sagriff played varsity basketball for the St. Theresa senior Titans.

She was to go on to play basketball at Loyalist this fall. The Catholic school board Friday issued a statement. “The Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board and the community of St. Theresa Catholic school is deeply saddened by the tragic news of the death of Alex Sagriff,” said Theresa Kennedy, superintendent of School Effectiveness at ALCDSB in an e-mail statement. Kennedy said the school principal, vice-principal and staff, as well as the Board bereavement and crisis response team have been on site at St. Theresa. “The well-being of our students and staff is and continues to be a priority,” continued Kennedy. “The Board response team will continue to be at the school over the next several days, and in collaboration with our community partners, information for accessing community supports has and will continue to be made available to students, parents and staff.” Brock Tufts, in a Facebook post, asked for privacy for the family of Alex Sagriff and thousands of posts of condolences could be found on social media sites Facebook and Instagram. A family friend has begun a crowdfunding effort to help the family pay expenses to bring their daughter home. “Funds raised will support Alex’s family with any expenses incurred that insurance won’t cover. Anything above and beyond that, the family will look to supporting Alex’s community through bursaries, programs or services. “ Alex Sagriff is pictured in this 2014 file photo, playing basketball for St. Theresa in the Bay of Quinte AthletGoFundMe: https://www.gofund- ics championship game. me.com/alex-sagriff.

Frustrated patients leaving ER, QHC hears BY JACK EVANS

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

extra effort, that percentage was whittled down to around three per cent. Higher demand that is budgeted for in a hospital of Belleville’s size also plagued the administration, forcing “cost per weighted case” up to $3,998 compared to the previous year of $3,820, largely the result of overtime staffing required. But QHC continued to forge ahead in its quest for excellence in terms of patient services, implementing many cost-saving ideas resulting from intense studies and consultations. Committees doing surveys were also empow-

ered to implement some of the results. Records-keeping was streamlined and waiting times for MRI services were reduced to 19 days, while the provincial average remains at more than 100 days. For work safety efforts, “we experienced a 15 per cent reduction in lost time and modified work incidents last year,” Egberts said. She also praised the results of a major accreditation visit and results at all four hospitals under the QHC umbrella; Belleville General, Trenton Memorial, Prince Edward Memorial and North Hastings hospitals.

Local chefs and physicians the perfect blend for the 3rd Annual Incredible Doctors’ Cook-off BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford — Sir John A. Macdonald, Canada’s first prime minister would have been proud to see all the local folks mingling with local chefs and physicians as they created local food dishes together at the 3rd annual Incredible Doctors' Cook-off which was a recipe for success for an event with true local flavour. It was a tasty and tasteful Canada 150 year celebration. “I don't have a total on the amount raised yet, but I think it's fair to say it was the most successful year yet,” said John Russell, executive director of the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation. Funds raised will go toward the purchase of high-priority medical equipment for the hospital. More than 100 guests attended on Friday, July 7, and paid the $50 ticket price to get the chance to not only support the hospital but to enjoy the creative appetizers of the chefs and physicians. Food such as spaetzle fries, “something Canadian with an international twist,” created by chef Tina Moorey with help from Dr. Jamie Read were on the menu. Other appetizers showing the culinary talents of participants included a TriMediterranean dip, linguini sous vide, tiramisu, Malaysian chicken, a chicken confit slider, a buffalo tourtière, butter chicken, to name a few of the menu ingredients.

Fan favourite winner was the team of Dr. Ewen Ferguson and Karma Phuntshok, owner and chef at Karma's By The River. Sue Dickens/Metroland

Best Presentation winner was the team of Piranava Jeyakumar (JR), chef at Riverview Restaurant Bar and Grill and Dr. Doug Macklem Sue Dickens/Metroland

Presented by the Foundation and many sponsors including the platinum the Auxiliary to Campbellford Memo- sponsor, Maizeing Acres Inc. which has rial Hospital, the event was supported by supported the event since it started.

A highlight of the evening was the unveiling of a signature piece, called “The Future is Bright,” a repurposed pallet with the hospital’s logo, backlit. It was done in the spirit of the newest community event for Campbellford, the Pallets on the Town Festival which takes place Aug. 5. “The future is bright for the Campbellford Memorial Hospital because we are looking at a redevelopment project for the hospital and we are really excited about bringing that to

the community. We hope you will get involved when that time comes,” Holt told the crowd. A raffle and live auction featuring a ride on a Zamboni in the Santa Claus parade of the winner’s choice were all part of the fun evening. Making the event complete was entertainment by the Bay City Trio who performed light pop and jazz for the guests with Lee Batchelor on keyboard, Terry Denyes on drums and Stephen Rapos on bass guitar (vocals).

No Drone Zone in Madoc park sees developer seeking one-day exemption Madoc – The “No Drone Zone” sign posted at Centre Hastings Park in Madoc was the subject of a discussion by council following a request to fly a machine overhead and do some filming. The discussion was launched by an email from Playground Planners, the original installers of the playground/

splash pad at the park. The company asked if it could do some drone videography of the spray pad and playground and agreed to provide a copy of the video to the municipality for advertising and websites. Parks, Recreation and Culture Coordinator Jeff Bitton brought forward a report to council with the request

and while two motions were made, neither received a seconder so the decision was left for council’s consideration. According to Bitton there are no policies regarding drones in any other communities. “Council agreed to allow the one day of filming by Playground Plan-

ners via a drone provided we post it prior to the day they are filming and that they get signed waivers for anyone who may appear in the videos,” Bitton told the Central Hastings News. “Beyond that day, we will continue to enforce our “No Drone Zone” rule for the park.” The filming is expected to happen

“sometime later in July,” and is a onetime event. The company, said Bitton, will be expected to follow all possible safety protocol. Transport Canada does have rules in place for recreation drone users and they can be found at: https://www. tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/opssvs/flying-drone-safely-legally.html.

TRAVEL

Exploring Ontario’s Oxford County Cheese Trail BY JOHN M. SMITH

“COW” has become an operating anagram for the “City Of Woodstock” in Ontario’s Oxford County, and my first stop upon arriving there was at the city’s renowned cow statue. The Holstein Association erected a monument honouring the Springbank Snow Countess back in 1937, after she had earned the record of producing the most butterfat over her lifetime, and she continued to hold that world record for more than 20 years. The lifesize statue was eventually moved to the corner of Springbank Ave. and Dundas St., where it’s now on display, so I decided to go there and check it out for myself. After all, I’d been told that many tourists want to get a ‘selfie’ there – and many brides have even included it in their wedding photos. It’s a treasured landmark! There were as many as 98 separate

cheese factories in Oxford County back in the day, and although this is certainly no longer the case, Oxford County still refers to itself as “The Dairy Capital of Canada”, and the dairy industry is still very important - so much so that an “Oxford County Cheese Trail” has been designed. Therefore, I decided to check out this Cheese Trail for myself, and I found it to be the perfect way to explore the county and learn about its history while enjoying stops at several of the trail’s delectable tasting sites. I was accompanied on this Cheese Trail by Gabrielle Bossy, who works for Oxford County Tourism, so this made my journey much easier. We spent an entire day on the trail, but we still weren’t able to visit all of the more than 20 designated stops. However, I certainly did get a real sense of what the trail was about and what it meant to the area’s tourism.

Our first stop on the Cheese Trail was at Jakeman’s Maple Farm, where I was given a recipe from Mary Jakeman for a maple baked brie (using local ingredients). I also noticed a big sign on the wall on which the “National Post” had claimed that Jakeman’s maple syrup had been “voted best tasting maple syrup in Canada”. I told Mary that I’d have to talk to my neighbor, Ron Hubbs, about this claim, for he makes some pretty tasty maple syrup himself – and he’s always a popular stop on our county’s very own “Maple in the County”. Mary chuckled at this, said that she knew Ron, and that her award had been received in both 2004 and 2012. Our next stop was at the Ingersoll Cheese & Agriculture Museum, and this would be a ‘must’, in my opinion. After all, it provides a glimpse of what it was like to make cheese here in the early 1900s, has a replica factory on

site, and explains the history of its giant (7,300 pound) block of cheese that was created in Ingersoll back in 1866 (at what was the James Harris Cheese Factory, where the Elm Hurst Inn now stands). This mammoth cheese was built as a tribute to the growth of the cheese and dairy industry in Ingersoll, and it was eventually shipped and showcased in Europe. It proved to be a great marketing ploy - and resulted in the yearly shipment of 300,000 boxes of cheese to Great Britain. I’d also recommend a visit to the Cheesy Playground, for it’s located right behind this museum. Here I found youngsters climbing over and through what looks like slices of cheese – and spinning on what looks like a big wheel of blue cheese. Yes, this cheese-themed playground seems very appropriate here in Oxford County! After learning about the area’s cheese history at the Ingersoll Cheese

There’s plenty of cheese on display at Gunn’s Hill Artisan Cheese.

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

Napanee woman fined for leaving dog in sweltering car A 57-year-old woman from Tamworth has been convicted of animal cruelty under the Ontario SPCA Act after leaving her dog unattended in a hot vehicle. Sandra Whitton pleaded guilty in a Napanee Provincial Offences Court on July 6 to permitting distress to an animal. She received a $250 fine. On May 12, an Ontario SPCA of-

ficer responded to a call about a dog left unattended in a car in downtown Napanee. An approximately nineyear-old Shih Tzu-type dog could be seen inside the vehicle in visible distress. She was panting heavily and attempting to seek shade from the sun under the seats of the vehicle. When the dog’s owner could not be located, the officer gained entry to the vehicle and removed the dog,

which survived. “Dogs have a limited ability to sweat, so even a short time in a hot environment can be life-threatening,” says Bonnie Bishop, Senior Inspector, Ontario SPCA. “Parked cars can quickly reach deadly temperatures, even on relatively mild days with the car parked in the shade and the windows slightly open. If you can’t take your pet with you

when you leave your car, leave them at home where they are safe.” If you observe an animal suffering in the heat, call 310-SPCA (7722) or your local police. To educate the public about the dangers of leaving pets unattended in vehicles during the summer months, the Ontario SPCA launched the 2017 No Hot Pets campaign in partnership with SPCAs and hu-

mane societies from across Canada. Through the No Hot Pets online forum, people are asked to share the dangers of leaving pets in vehicles using the hashtag #nohotpets. Pet owners are also asked to go online to nohotpets.ca and pledge to never leave their pets in their vehicles. Those who pledge will receive a free No Hot Pets window decal for their vehicles, while supplies last.

8 Wing Band performance at Halifax Tattoo was an ‘honour’ BY JACK EVANS

Halifax – The annual Royal International Halifax Tattoo here is much more than just a tattoo. It is a world-class pageant and a major part of the local culture. One can sense the party mood as soon as the lights go out in the 10,000seat arena and the massive band of more than 200 players launches into an overture. After a few stirring bars of “The Maple Leaf Forever” the band swings into “The Log Driver’s Waltz” and a large number of gusty singers burst into song spontaneously to join in, ditto for “Farewell to Nova Scotia,” this province’s unofficial anthem. There is a solid representation in this year’s Tattoo from the Quinte area, with 21 players from CFB Trenton’s 8 Wing Band, one of the major performing groups taking part. This band has played for many spectacular events, including changes of command, unit anniversaries and assorted community performances, but being part of a huge cast of more than 1,500 performers in front of many thousands of people is something they will all remember. Bandmaster WO Chris Webster described it as “a real honour,” and members of the band agreed, adding comments about the “friendly people”

The huge Scotia Place arena in the heart of downtown Halifax is almost filled to capacity with the hundreds of marching bands and pipes and drums participants. Jack Evans/Metroland

of Halifax and the thrill of performing before such huge crowds. Adding excitement was a visit by many of the officers and men from the USN aircraft car-

rier Dwight D. Eisenhower, which was visiting Halifax for several days during the tattoo. The cast involved performers from across Canada, the United

States, Russia, Australia, Germany, Switzerland and Great Britain. Hence the name, ‘international.” For Webster, the highlight was when

it was his turn to direct the entire ensemble in the closing national anthem. To prepare for this huge spectacle, the band flew in almost three weeks in advance to rehearse the complex regimental-sized marches around the arena and get to know their fellow cast members. Besides hundreds of bands people, there is a massive choir of local voices plus a children’s choir. Apart from music by the ton, there are hilarious comedy acts, mind-boggling athletic stunts and other circus-type acts. Highlights included an inter-provincial partnership between the Calgary fiddlers and the French Acadian dancers, also when the soloist with the United Statas Naval Band sang “Bridge Over Troubled Water, the lights dimmed and dozens of planted flashlights around the arena lit up and waved along with the singer. The Tattoo started in 1979 as a special salute to a visit by Queen Elizabeth and has developed into an annual show of seven performances running late June through early July. His involvement with this year’s Tattoo may not be the last for Webster. His new posting, effective almost immediately, is to Halifax and he is looking forward to it with enthusiasm. All one can think to say is what Oliver Twist said at the breakfast table: “Please sir, I want more.”

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

the first housing agency between Toronto and Ottawa to provide supportive housing options to persons living with HIV/AIDS and offering a model of affordable housing within the local community.

All-Together was formed in July 2007 when four local community agencies – Community Advocacy and Legal Centre, Hastings Housing Resource Centre, Three Oaks Shelter for Women and United Way Quinte – decided to

create a new affordable housing agency. The agency now has a second building, called Tom’s Place, on Forin Street. It’s primarily used for transitional housing for seniors. “There is an affordable housing cri-

sis here,” says Cottrell. “There is also a need for much more supportive housing, which is why we are grateful for the partnerships we have formed to support some of our more vulnerable tenants.” Although wait-lists for affordable housing continue to be long and the resources of mental health agencies are stretched thin, Cottrell is optimistic that the future will be better, as senior governments are making more pledges to solve housing shortages. “The next decade promises to be an historic one for affordable housing,” he said. “Municipalities and affordable housing providers will find themselves with $11.2 billion more to spend on new and existing units over the coming decade, as part of the federal government’s multi-pronged push to help people find homes.” The agency also expects to form a partnership with a local affordable housing developer in order to take advantage of the new federal dollars. “All three levels of government need to be involved in providing affordable housing. We are hopeful that municipal councils will be offering their own suite of financial incentives to housing providers,” said Cottrell. “Incentives can include identification of affordable housing in community improvement projects, waiving of parking requirements, donations of land and reduced development charges just to name a few.”

Hastings health is worse than the national average BY LYNN MARRIOTT

Tweed – The Department of Emergency Services 2016 statistics were presented by Doug Socha, the Chief of HastingsQuinte Paramedic Services, to Tweed Council, in the hamlet of Marlbank on June 27. Hastings ambulances travel 1.5 million km per year. Calls were up 8.4 % in 2016 to 32,292. There have been 1,000 more calls each year since 2014. Ambulance response times have been met, he said. There is eight minutes to get to a heart attack or stroke and 25 minutes to respond to a cut or similar injury. Tweed has a 12 hour per day ambulance service and Madoc has a 24/7 station. A full time ambulance costs approximately $1 million per year, said Socha. The province pays half. To upgrade Tweed to 24/7 would cost $500,000. If Council upgrades, it would pay half the first year and the province would pay half the second year. Socha suggested the service

could increase six hours per day, per year for two years. Hastings has one per cent less 20 year olds and under, and four per cent more 65 year olds or older. There are many 60 year olds looking after their parents, he said. People are living longer and staying home, he said. The most calls are from people between 81 and 90. Each decade younger, the number of calls decreases, until a spike in calls for 11-20 years old. “The young boys and men smarten up by their thirties,” said Socha. We need to treat people before they call. Ambulance calls reported to family doctors do that. This program is now applying for continued funding. More response workers trained to dispense medications is also successful. Remote area calls are difficult. A Utility Task Vehicle, outfitted with a stretcher, has been purchased. Smart glasses are in use. Drone usefulness is being investigated.

“Proud to be Canadian” photo wins Star Touch contest BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford — Combining her love for her family with a passion for photography and pride in Canada, Sarah Lewis used her camera lens to capture a silhouette of her two children with a Canadian flag and she won the Star Touch Canada Daythemed contest. Her photo, titled Proud to be Canadian, was entered just six days before the contest deadline. Shared on social media, the overwhelming online support as people voted for her entry helped her to win. “I posted it on my Facebook page and then people started cheering and John Charlton, a local photographer who also excels at web design, said post it on the Campbellford page, so I did and it was shared and voted on,” she told the Trent Hills News. Sharing on social media resulted in her making it to the top 20 entries and then the judges chose her photograph as the winner. “There were at least 140 photos in the contest,” said Lewis. The image of her children, Emily, eight, and Wyatt, six, was taken during an orange sunset in the backyard

of their home on the Bay of Quinte in Prince Edward County. Using her Canon SD to take the photo, she said: “I wanted to expose for the sky and wanted the kids to be in a silhouette, that was my goal. I knew the Canadian flag would be backlit and look good against the sky. I think I shot this with a high aperture.” “I like to do theme shots for holidays such as Christmas or Halloween and I wanted to do something new for my cover photos, and I knew the contest was happening so I thought what’s the worst that can happen,” she said with a laugh. The win means she receives $500. The contest is held every month. “Photography is just a hobby. I love it. I think it’s really fun. It’s my favourite thing to do when I get home from work,” said Lewis. She and her husband Aaron Macanual are franchise owners of Trent Hills Canadian Tire. “Aaron always gets the attention for his role with Canadian Tire. He bought me my first camera and is the reason I have all this nice camera stuff,” she concluded with a grin.

Quinte Health Care hosts upbeat AGM BY JACK EVANS

Wellington - Trenton Memorial, once perceived as a hospital due for closure, has been saved through recent provincial government pledges and plans are now underway to build a new hospital in Prince Edward County. QHC’s audited financial report showing a year-end surplus of $1.04 million was described as a “reprieve, not a deliverance,” but that helped contribute to the positive atmosphere.In early 2016, QHC was in the process of eliminating several positions to find savings amid a new provincial funding formula that had the health care organization at risk of assuming a massive deficit.During the AGM, Mike Cowan took the podium as a delegation for Our TMH, a citizen group which lobbied for QHC to keep the Trenton hospi-

tal open and improve services. Cowan’s stormy outbursts have been a fixture at QHC board meetings in recent years. But on Tuesday, he praised the QHC board for its efforts toward maintaining TMH as a viable community hospital, plus working to add additional services such as a dialysis unit. From there on it was smooth sailing as representatives of the various foundation and funding support groups reviewed their successes and contributions over the past year. Later, nominations to fill vacancies on the board rolled through. A report on the happenings of North Hastings Hospital focussed on the success of a new six-chair dialysis unit.Phil Wild, of the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation board, which works to secure donations to the hospital, reported

a balanced budget for his organization. Peter Knudsen, of the Belleville General Hospital Foundation, reported almost 16,000 donations to his foundation and gifts of more than $4 million to BGH for things such as a new CT Scanner and a Maldi-Tof machine to provide same-day identification of pathogenic bacteria. In her video-supported annual report, QHC CEO and President Mary Clare Egberts, stressed the corporation’s fourway test: “ Respect Everyone. Imagine it’s you. Take ownership (of issues). And always strive to improve.”She said the organization cared for 311,000 people over the past year. This included 104,100 emergency room visits, 23,900 surgeries, 1,500 babies born and 10,218 people in cancer care.The board was to elect its new chair following the meeting.

Eclectic folkie Tom Savage plays The Old Church Kingston native Tom Savage will appear at the Old Church Theatre Friday July 14 on the heels of a busy spring schedule. After a tour of the U.S. in April followed by work on recording his new CD with (Old Church alumnus) Tony Silvestri, Bonz Bowering, and Seamus Cowan, Tom made a swing into Eastern Canada in early June. He will squeeze in a few dates in Eastern Ontario before

heading on tour again, this time to Western Canada. Tom Savage’s music comes from places occupied by Townes Van Zandt and Bruce Springsteen, but also lurking in the shadows of influence are Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page in one corner, and Wes Montgomery and Freddie Robinson in another. Tom is a true believer and his talent doesn’t end at the stage: He recently produced Al Duquette’s new

record “Tales of the Wild West”. A writer of Country and Folk songs, sung in a weathered, emotive voice with a hint of a Bluesman’s growl, Tom Savage is not your average folksinger. Tickets are $25 at the door or $20 in advance and can be purchased online at www.oldchurch.ca or by phoning Lesley Bonisteel at (613) 848-1411. Bar and doors open at 7PM. Showtime is 7:30.

Duck flap ends happily for Madoc woman Dear Editor, In a follow-up to the conflict over my pet duck, I would like to express my profound gratitude here in public to my neighbours and friends who supported my appeal to keep my pet duck – I feel blessed to live among such caring people. I am overjoyed to be able to keep my little girl Rebecca, although we both have to adapt to new circumstances. We miss the support of the resilient and self-confident chicken Charlotta. I also have to endeavour to replace the companionship of Rebecca’s alter ego, Jemima Puddleduck, who got killed by a hawk last December. Rebecca is growing more attached to me by the day, and maybe at some point in the future I’ll be able to take her inside the house. (So if anyone knows how to sew duck diapers please get in touch with me.) Keeping “poultry” over the last four years has been quite the journey for me:

learning to take care of them, reading their body language and various vocal sounds and grieving over their short lives. Observing their range and depth of emotions – from empathy to envy, and fear to joy – you start appreciating how precious their lives are. And observing how vulnerable they are to all kinds of predation your instinct to protect them by hook or by crook kicks in. This is a strong instinct: it drives you to spoil them in every way imaginable. You get the best food and treats and you spend the best chunk of your day in their company. They make wonderful gardening companions. Jemima used to be the adventurer and explorer among my “musketeers” as I used to call them. She would watch what I’m doing rather than what I’m digging up. Rebecca was always a dreamer and slow to follow and scared of all kinds of things. She wouldn’t even swim in the

pond like Jemima. Marigold, my Brahma chicken who died after becoming egg bound after just her second egg, used to stand by Rebecca’s side until she had gathered the strength to run after Jemima. Yes, and even though sadly loss and grief are part of keeping these birds, they also teach you how to move on in life and live in the moment. Rebecca was inconsolable for three weeks after Jemima’s tragic death but then she made fast friends with Charlotta and by March she rejoyced over the bright sunlight and the snow melting into puddles. They also teach you unconditional love, because as you pour all your love into them you don’t ask much in return. You just watch them enjoying the passing moments and give thanks that you may keep them – well, her. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Birgit Brandt Madoc

McQUILLAN, Florence Christina, Oct 6, 1936 - Jun 29, 2017 Florence McQuillan, of Island Park Residence (Campbellford) and formerly of Brighton, passed away peacefully into the arms of her Saviour, on June 29, 2017 in her 81st year. Left to treasure her memory are her husband and best friend, George Edmund; daughter Lorraine (Joe), son Mark (Diane), and son Karl (Liz); grandchildren Grant, Alison, Peter, Kyle, Eric, Megan and Grady; and 5 great-grandchildren. Born in 1936 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Florence emigrated to Canada in 1963 with her young family. She worked as an RNA for many years in Mount Albert and Newmarket; loved and cared for her family with all her heart; and rejoiced in all the many blessings that befell them over the years. Florence enjoyed a long, full retirement travelling with Edmund, residing at their lake-front property in Minden, and for 20 years in Brighton by the Bay. Family and treasured friends left to mourn her will remember Florence as a gentle-souled woman of faith who adored her family; loved to travel (as much for the food as the sites); and read voraciously. She will leave a hole in the hearts and lives of all who knew her and those she loved. Special thanks to the caring staff at Island Park Residence; Dr. A. Minuk; Dr. K. Parks; Northumberland CCAC Caregiver and Palliative Support teams; and Saint Elizabeth’s Palliative Care. A memorial for Florence will be held at the Fellowship Christian Reform Church, 204 Main St., Brighton, on Friday, July 7, 2017 at 2 o’clock, reception to follow in the Church Hall. Donations to the Salvation Army or Bibles for Missions would be gratefully acknowledged by the family. Arrangements in care of the Brighton Funeral Home (613-475-2121).

The Good Earth Wet ground, high and dry ground - soil questions answered

By Dan Clost Unless you have a bog or a pond, there are very plants that will accept being planted into wet ground. I say very few because, while I’m not aware of any such chappie, there are eleventy-eleven gazillion different genera on the planet and certainly there are a few that will suit. Some well known plants, e.g. weeping willow, which will handle very wet soil but they need to be planted when the soil is dry. For example, if you have a spot

that is wet during the spring and then dries out by August, Weeping Willy will do well there... if planted in August. So will native red maples, river birches, hemlocks, certain viburnums and so on. An excellent resource to find these groupings is a small book called, Trees In Canada. Why am I writing about this? Today, after penning this column, I will plant a pagoda dogwood, Cornus alternifolia and an upright Saskatoon serviceberry, Amelanchier alnifolia ‘Obelisk.” These two will join a pair of Lemon Princess spirea, Spirea japonica that I planted last week. All four were returned by customers who thought them dead: all of the leaves had turned brown and shriveled up. For those of you with plants exhibiting similar symptoms you have two choices. If they are established shrubs you can stay the course and wait for the soil to dry out a bit; after which the plant should refoliate. For new plantings, say two years or less, you might consider popping the plant out of the ground and moving it to a new spot. In such a short period of time, the root mass will likely be within the planting hole and there will be minimal damage; certainly much less than drowning. Btw, in just one week, the spirea are well on their way to complete refoliation. Without a doubt, this has been an

unusual spring. Some have called it an “English Spring” due to the amount of rainfall and others have gone on-line to bring up plans for an Ark. Fer sure, eh, many people will have been re-acquainted with the term “flood plain.” Another task that has fallen upon me is that of replacing several hanging baskets. It seems that they are in a rain shadow, so to speak, and they have dried out. After 30 plus years, you might think I should know this...and I do... but with all of the precipitation it didn’t occur to me that some plants required supplemental watering. Sigh. I’m going to combine variegated geranium (red flowers), Dragon Wing

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

begonias (similarly red flowers) some scaveola, blossoms of coneflower blue, and a trailing yellow daisy of some sort. In the centre, there will be a Whirling Butterflies, Guara lindeimer. The plan is for the foliage of the geranium and begonia to cover up that of the guara, leaving only the long thin scapes with the “butterflies” hovering above the other blooms. The blue and yellow flowers fill out a primary colour scheme and their stems will spill out over the edge of the basket. It looks good on paper but we’ll just have to wait and see how it all comes together. By the way, you can easily create your own bog garden even if your es-

About one-third of all cancers can be prevented by eating well, being active and maintaining a healthy body weight. While reducing your risk of cancer is certainly a year-round goal, the onset of better weather can inspire better habits. There’s no better time than right now to make a change. 1. Be sun smart For many, summer means spending time in the sun with friends, playing outdoor sports or just relaxing outside. Enjoy the sun, but practise your SunSense – check the UV Index, try to reduce your time in the sun between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., seek shade, cover up, wear a hat and sunglasses, use a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher and reapply often! 2. Try low alcohol or no alcohol For some, summer goes hand in hand with staying cool on patios, by the pool or in your backyard with alcoholic drinks. Drinking any type of alcohol increases your risk of head and neck, breast, colorectal and liver cancers. Try these tips to help reduce your alcohol intake – avoid eating salty snacks as these can make you thirstier, try a shandy or a wine spritzer and keep a glass of water handy so you can quench your thirst without reaching for alcoholic drinks. 3. Enjoy seasonal vegetables and fruit Re-think your meal by filling half your plate with veggies

and fruit. Try vegetables like field cucumbers, snow peas and red peppers to spice up your salads. Up your fruit intake by snacking on nectarines, raspberries and watermelon. With so many different vegetables and fruit in season, summer is a great time to try new recipes. 4. Rethink the BBQ Cooking meat, poultry and fish at high temperatures can create chemicals that may increase cancer risk. To limit the creation of these chemicals, try marinating meat in balsamic vinegar or lemon juice with your favourite herbs before cooking. Avoid charring by barbecuing slowly, keeping food away from hot coals and trimming off visible fat to prevent flare-ups on the grill. Or grill vegetables, veggie burgers and fruit slices instead of meat. 5. Be smoke-free The single best thing you can do for your health at any time of year is quit smoking. Summer is a great time to try or try again. Distract yourself from cravings by taking advantage of the good weather and going for a walk instead of a cigarette. If you’re quitting smoking or are already a non-smoker, find smoke-free places to enjoy the summer, like patios, parks and sports and entertainment venues.
