Trenton Big Band Festival has `em shakin’

us,” he said. “The children of the people who listened to the Commodores, and their grandchildren, we’d like them to listen too.”

If you missed the show at the Big Band festival, it’s not too late to catch Freddy Vette and the Commodores’ Orchestra.

The collaboration will hit the stage at the Empire Theatre of Sept. 16.

Formed in 1928, the Commodores’ Orchestra is Canada’s longest continuously operated swing band.

Sparling said he has recently finished a book on the Commodores’ that captures the history of the swing band, which will be launched in October at the annual dinner of the Hastings County Historical Society.

Dancing the afternoon away was Charlotte Alexander, one of about 40 swing dancers from Lindy Hop Revolution in Toronto that made the drive to enjoy the afternoon at the festival.

“This band is Toronto-based so I know a bunch of people in it because I’m in music,” she

said. “It’s really nice dancing in other places and just seeing different atmospheres, I think it’s a great event, it’s nice playing in a park like this.”

Coun. Bob Wannamaker, one of four people who started the Big Band festival six years ago, said he was happy with the turnout.

“I’m quite pleased with it, I’d like to see it even bigger and I think it will continue to grow, as long as we can keep the money coming in. Bands like this, you don’t pick them up for a couple

Trenton — Swing dancers danced the afternoon away and concert goers listened to the tunes of big bands during the sixth annual Trenton Big Band Festival, July 22-23.

The festival started off Saturday evening with the sounds of the Rhythm and Truth Bass Band at Trenton’s RiverFront Square.

Moving to the Amphitheatre in Centennial Park on Sunday, the show featured the Toronto All-Star Big Band and a special collaboration between Freddy Vette and the Commodores’ Orchestra.

Andy Sparling, leader of the Commodores’ Orchestra, said Brian Barlow arranged 24 specific tunes that marry Freddy Vette’s rock and roll to the Big Band sound.

“It’s totally unique, one-ofa-kind,” he said. “It’s a sound that I don’t think has ever been heard around here, a Big Band with a rock and roller, around here, around anywhere, doesn’t happen very often at all.”

Having rehearsed the collaboration on and off for about a year, Sparling said it’s really nice to be able to perform it and hopefully have some new listeners.

“The Commodores are 90 years old, we have to try to move it ahead a little bit so this is something brand new for

bucks,” he said.

The Big Band festival may be over but music will continue throughout the summer with the Cascade Summer Concert Series on Thursdays and Sundays, DBIA Fraser Park Concert Series on Fridays, RiverFront Square concert series on Saturdays.

“I’m quite interested in music, I enjoy it and we like to bring the best of music into the city,” said Wannamaker.

“I like to see that everyone has a chance to perform, mostly local and bring in some of the big stuff, it gives people something to look forward to.”

Music adds something to the community, said Wannamaker, and he hopes people continue to enjoy the concerts throughout summer.

“I think here in the last couple years the concert series has really grown, all of the crowds seem to be bigger and we spread it out more too, we used to just do it at the Amphitheatre and now we run it Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday,” he said.

“A lot of people come in from other areas just for music, you have to have something for the people to do and enjoy when they’re here.”

Businesses across region say they’ll cut back after wage hike legislation Businesses across Quinte of all sizes and all sectors will feel the impact and have to adjust to a 32-per-cent increase in Ontario’s minimum wage, which will jump to $15 by 2019.

Chambers of commerce for Quinte West, Belleville, and Prince Edward County recently surveyed more than 100 businesses, ranging from small businesses to those with hundreds of employees, and found that 85 per cent stated business will feel the impact of changed to The Fair Workplace, Better Jobs Act. According to the survey, 23 per cent of businesses will lay off employees and 45 per cent stated they would put a freeze on new hiring.

On May 31, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne announced the provincial government will implement the largest increase to minimum wage in the province’s history as a plan to benefit Ontario’s economic growth and create better jobs and fair workplaces.

Currently, minimum wage is $11.40 an hour. It will go up to $11.60 as of Oct. 1, 2017, to $14 an hour on Jan. 1, 2018, and will reach $15 on Jan. 1, 2019.

Employee benefits will be in jeopardy as 31 per cent of businesses surveyed stated they would cut back on benefits as a way to balance the increase in wages.

Community support will be impacted as 37 per cent stated they would have to cut back on community support and charitable giving.

Suzanne Andrews, general manager of the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce, said the sweeping reforms will create winners and losers.

“The results from a survey of local businesses show that most businesses are going to employ a variety of tactics to try and keep their operations healthy, with over five per cent saying they are considering closing their business,” she said.

“The risk of inflation will be very real, with 20 per cent of businesses saying they will have no choice but to raise the prices on the goods and services they offer. Until the economic impact has been made clear, these proposed changes should be phased in over a longer period of time and the costs offset to keep Ontario fair to business.”

Jill Raycroft, CEO of the Belleville Chamber of Commerce, said no one who responded to the survey felt that employees don’t deserve good wages.

“Yes, some do pay entry-level employees and students at minimum rates, but 50 per cent of respondents are already paying over minimum wage and the increase creates a real challenge for parity when a new hire will start at a wage not much less than a seasoned and valued employee has earned,” she said.

“When we place the burden for reducing poverty on the business owner, the consumer pays.”

Recently, the Keep Ontario Working group, a coalition of Ontario’s leading industry and sector associations, sent an open letter to Premier Wynne to urge the Government of Ontario to slow down the implementation of Bill 148.

The Keep Ontario Working coalition is calling on the provincial government to give businesses more time to better prepare.

they require dialysis, said Weinstein when he presented the proposal in March.

Encompassing all aspects of kidney disease care, the centre would be a place where patients would see a physician, nurse educator, pharmacist, dietician and social worker to be able to address all aspects of their care. If needed, these experts could prepare them for dialysis.

In addition, Weinstein said the clinic would also work as a referral site to get people to transplant programs when it’s appropriate, and they could set up a home clinic functioning out of the chronic kidney disease clinic, where people could be trained on how to do home dialysis for patients who choose that route.

The centre is needed to improve accessibility for patients travelling to have dialysis or receive kidney disease care.

Kingston General Hospital (KGH) is the Regional Chronic Kidney Disease program for the South East Local Health Integrated Network’s (LHIN) region, operating under the ORN.

Kingston has satellite dialysis unit locations — including Napanee, Belleville and Picton — but Weinstein said there are capacity and geography issues for patients, and the satellite locations are only self-care dialysis units and do not offer services a centre would provide. “Which means you have to be in really good shape to be able to go there.

You have to be very healthy which, as a general rule in the dialysis population, doesn’t apply to everybody. So, people — although there may be a unit closer to them — are still being forced to travel all the way to Kingston for dialysis care,� said Weinstein.

The ORN sets targets for patient travel times for all regional chronic kidney disease programs in Ontario, with a goal to have more than 80 per cent of patients travelling less than 30 minutes to dialysis and less than five per cent of patients travelling more than 60 minutes.

The latest numbers show that 57 per cent of people travel less than 30 minutes, 24 per cent travel between 30 to 60 minutes and 19 per cent travel more than 60 minutes.

bringing that up. That’s what the Ontario Renal Network keeps talking about; their goals are services close to home,� he said. “I feel we have the patients. I know that we have the resources locally to do everything that we need. My hope is that’s what is shown in this dialysis capacity assessment document, so that then we can really move forward with this.�

It makes sense to make sure that any projects moving forward fit within the ORN’s 10-year plan, said Weinstein, and he just hopes the assessment shows the need in the Quinte region that he’s expecting it to. “I’m just hoping that when they crunch their numbers, they agree,� he said. “Unfortunately, we just have to wait. They know about what we’ve been talking about, so I have no doubt it’s on the table.�

The proposal is for a Trenton Comprehensive Kidney Disease Centre at TMH. The multidisciplinary centre is a spectrum of opportunities for people, including services for people before

their homes, and that’s been a big initiative of ours over the past few years,� she said.

The numbers are hard to project, said Cohrs, but the ORN will use all of its data to create the 10-year projection. “We are very supportive of trying to ensure patients get their care closest to their home; that’s always our goal, and when the capacity plan comes out, that will be the same,� she said.

Spearheading the project is Doctor David Weinstein, a nephrologist in Belleville who has committed to being the supervising physician of the proposed clinic.

Weinstein publicly announced the proposed plans for a dialysis clinic alongside Our TMH at a public meeting in Quinte West City Hall on March 29. He said at the time, the ORN had a proposal and he was hoping to hear back within a few weeks. “I think things are just progressing slowly. I’m still quite optimistic, because I know what’s in our neck of the woods and I know what we’re seeing. So, I’m still optimistic. I just think, unfortunately, we have to wait for each step and trust each step as it comes up,� said Weinstein.

Weinstein, who has been working in Belleville for 18 months, said the volume of patients he’s seeing with chronic kidney disease continues to grow. “It would be very nice to be able to help these patients, so that they can actually have their services provided close to home — which, again, I keep

Trenton— What some hoped would be a matter of weeks has now turned into a matter of months. Answers on the proposed Trenton Comprehensive Kidney Disease Centre at Trenton Memorial Hospital (TMH) will not come until the fall.

The Ontario Renal Network (ORN) is set to release a dialysis capacity assessment in the fall, looking at dialysis numbers and the projected need over the next 10 years, from 2017 to 2027.

Wilma Cohrs, interim southeast regional director for the ORN, has taken over the position from Richard Jewitt while the ORN prepares to recruit for the position. “The capacity assessment would inform the proposal,� she said. “We really need the capacity assessment first, to look at all of the needs and projections to determine where in this whole region we need to provide service and what we may need to change.�

The ORN has plans to release the capacity assessment for the southeast region first, because they are aware of the TMH dialysis clinic proposal, said Cohrs.

It’s hard to predict if the projected need for additional dialysis stations will grow, because the ORN has done a lot of work to get treatment in their own homes, stated Cohrs. “Supporting patients at home means there’s probably a decreased need for community-based and even in hospital stations, if we’re able to support patients to do dialysis in

OPINION

Flag is nice, but where are lifeguards?

No peace yet in Iraq or Syria The shooting was still going on down by the river last week when Iraq’s Prime Minister Haider alAbadi dropped by and prematurely declared that the battle for Mosul was over.

He was misled by the Iraqi army, Gwynne Dyer various police and militia units who were competing with one another to declare victory first, but now it really is over – and there is little left of Mosul.

The siege began on October 17 of last year, so it lasted nine months – longer than the Battle of Stalingrad. It probably killed more civilians, too, because the US-led air forces were used to compensate for the shortage of trained and motivated Iraqi ground forces.

Individual ISIS snipers were regularly taken out by air strikes that levelled entire buildings. Life is returning to some of the east-bank suburbs that were retaken last year, but there is nothing to go back to in the oldest part of the city on the west bank, where ISIS made its last stand. And the level of destruction has been almost as high in a lot of other cities.

The Sunni Arab communities of Iraq and Syria are shattered and scattered. The mixed Sunni-Shia neighbourhoods of Baghdad were mostly “cleansed” of their Sunni residents in the civil war of 2006-08. Even Sunni-majority cities in Iraq that were taken back from ISIS a couple of years ago, like Ramadi and Fallujah, are still largely deserted, with few signs of reconstruction.

Not many of the estimated 900,000 people in refugee camps around Mosul, almost all Sunni Arabs, will be going home soon either.

And in Syria, the eastern side of Aleppo, Syria’s biggest city, fell last December after a four-year siege. It now contains a few tens of thousands of people rattling around.

Raqqa, ISIS’s capital in Syria, will be largely destroyed in the next few months, and after that it will be the turn of Deir-es-Zor. The calamity that began in 2003, when the US invasion of Iraq overthrew the centurieslong Sunni rule over a mostly Shia country, has reached its final phase.

There can be no come-back for the Sunni Arabs of Iraq, who only make up one-fifth of the country’s 36 million people. They have been ruined by their long complicity with Sunni minority rule of the country, first un-

der the Turkish empire, latterly under Sunni tyrants like Saddam Hussein, and finally by their reluctant, desperate support for ISIS. Some, maybe most, will remain in the country, but not as equal citizens.

The Sunni Arabs of Syria will not suffer the same fate, for they are fully 60 percent of that country’s population, but their current situation is appalling. They were very unwise to throw their lot in with ISIS and al-Qaeda – which most of the Sunni fighters in Syria did in the end, though it is impolitic to say so in public – and they are now paying a heavy price for that mistake.

In the longer run, however, Syria’s Sunni Arab majority will have to be reintegrated into the general society.

There’s at least another year’s fighting against ISIS and al-Qaeda-linked forces in Syria before reconciliation can even begin.

There may be much more than a year’s fighting before the Kurds are subjugated again in Syria and Turkey.

They are out of the box now, controlling almost all of the Kurdish-majority parts of northern Syria and many rural areas in southeastern Turkey. Since Turkey’s President Recep Tayyib Erdogan re-started the war against Turkey’s Kurds two years ago, they have even taken control of some parts of the Kurdish-majority big cities in the south-east – and bits of them look like Syria’s devastated cities.

As for Iraq’s Kurds, it may prove impossible to put them back in the box at all.

Thanks to the collapse of the Iraqi army three years ago, when ISIS overran much of the country in a fortnight, the Kurdish Regional Government now rules over all the traditionally Kurdish areas of Iraq. It is effectively an independent country, and it has scheduled a referendum for September to make that official.

Iraq’s government will fight that, of course, but unless the United States is willing to bomb the Kurds the way it bombed ISIS, Baghdad is unlikely to win. The Iraqi army couldn’t even have retaken Mosul without the lavish use of US air power.

Washington is much more likely to betray the Syrian Kurds, but unless it does, they too will probably manage to keep their de facto state within a nominally reunited Syria.

(Turkey would be happy to crush them for free, but the Syrian regime and its Russian and Iranian backers would certainly veto that.) So there’s lots of fighting left to be done, and lots of opportunities yet for the United States and Russia to stumble into a confrontation. Stay tuned.

4 Quinte West News - Thursday, July 27, 2017

Editorial by Chris Malette Earlier this month, a ceremony at the renowned Sandbanks Provincial Park marked a proud achievement for the beach, the County and the provincial government.

The park’s beaches received the Blue Flag designation, chosen by a worldwide body that recognizes primarily eco-friendly beaches and marinas.

But, part of the accolade cites such locales not just for their environmentally responsible practices, but for its “safety standards,” as well.

From Environmental Defence, the agency that administers the program in Canada: “This year, a record 27 beaches and eight marinas across the country have earned the Blue Flag… To receive a Blue Flag, beaches and marinas must meet high international standards in water quality, environmental management, environmental education, and safety and services.

“The latest beaches to fly the flag are Moonlight Beach in Sudbury, Ont. and Outlet Beach at Ontario’s Sandbanks Provincial Park ...

“Millions of people around the world look for the Blue Flag when choosing a beach or marina to visit. And there’s a good reason for that,” said Brett Tryon, Blue Flag Program manager with Environmental Defence. “A Blue Flag means that a beach or marina is clean, sustainably managed, and meets high safety standards. It is truly a symbol of excellence.”

It is troubling, then, as in most communities where provincial or municipal tax dollars operate beaches, there is one issue on the all-important “safety standards” front that is lacking and that is lifeguards, or, more precisely, the lack thereof.

Several years ago, former Olympic swimmer Elaine Tanner and her partner John Watt, an expert lifeguard and safety advocate, remonstrated the province on a tour of such beaches of Sandbanks for dismantling lifeguard towers and removing lifeguards, altogether, from provincial park beaches.

Simply put, lifeguards on public beaches have been shunted aside in the interest of cutting costs; lives put in danger or lost be damned in the process.

Here’s how Watt and Tanner, in a letter to the editor in The Toronto Star, last week saw the ongoing cost-over-safety decisions of governments are costing lives: ‘Police identify Ontario men who drowned near Wasaga Beach, July 9’ This is getting beyond belief. After numerous drownings there are still no lifeguards at Wasaga Beach. Even after decades of public and editorial support, and multiple preventable drownings.

Forestry should be ashamed of itself, and so should the town of Wasaga Beach.

Tanner and Watt spoke passionately about the issue when they were in the Quinte region a few years back, but nothing has changed, other than the fact the vaunted Blue Flag now flies over beaches here and in other areas that, while clean, are devoid of lifeguards.

In a 2013 newspaper interview out of Barrie, Watt was discussing the gutting of lifeguard protection under provincial aegis and the state of the service prior to cost-cutting that resulted in the dismantling of the public lifeguard service in Ontario. “(Former premier) Mike Harris started to phase out lifeguards at Wasaga Beach and other provincial park beaches for economic reasons in the 1990s and successor governments have followed the practice. So now, on any given weekend, you can have 100,000 people at (Wasaga, Sandbanks or other beaches) and not a single lifeguard. And the fact is that where there are lifeguards on duty, you have a less than 1 per cent chance of death by drowning.

The lifeguard chairs at Wasaga were seven metres high, and paid for by public dollars. They were cut down and burnt. …”

Watt was asked if there are not some patrols at Wasaga, Sandbanks and other provincial parks.

“The parks department has a few people on patrol, but there are no rescue boats and they’re in full dress, not in Speedos. They’re there mainly to monitor bylaw infractions and they’re fast when it comes to beer cans or dogs, but not when it’s pulling someone out of the water. Then, time is of the essence. To survey the beach and the water properly, you have to be up high.

“When I worked at Wasaga, we had 20 professionally trained lifeguards, two more in boats with two-way radios and three working as rovers. We could react and did react in seconds. …

“I know of a (2010) near-drowning at Sandbanks where it took half an hour to get a boat in the water, the 911 operator had no idea where the beach was, and the ambulance took 50 minutes to arrive…”

Nothing has changed. North Beach, in Sandbanks Park, has some treacherous currents and each summer there are incidents where bathers either escape dangerous rip currents or are surprised at how fast and precipitous the drop-off in depth comes to those unfamiliar with the beach and its currents. And, yes, there have been drownings there over the years.

And, while the Blue Flag flies over Sandbanks and other public beaches across Ontario, swimmers, toddlers and the unsuspecting could well lose their lives for want of saving a few dollars.

Construction of Quinte West’s new fire station 1 begins

BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton — If all goes to plan, the Quinte West Fire Department will have a brand new fire station 1 next fall.

The shovels hit the ground during the official groundbreaking ceremony at the new location on Dixon Drive, behind the Horizons School on Marmora Street, on Friday, July 21.

Fire Chief John Whelan said construction is set to begin shortly

by Belleville’s Task Force Engineering and the department can’t wait to be in the new 22,000-square-foot facility.

Whelan said the current station 1 is less than 3,000 square feet and

was built in 1971.

“So the building itself needs all kinds of work and of course there’s no room for anything,” he said.

The $5.6 million project is being built on the former soccer field of the Horizon School and is a perfect location, said Whelan.

The new station will be one level and feature a separate storage building, a main entrance on Dixon Drive and separate south entrance on Dominion Street.

“We’re really looking forward to this,” he said.

“We are so outdated in our facility in terms of even parking for our firefighters, training, I could go on and on, the heating is an old boiler

system and access on that current hall is very hard to get in and out in an emergency situation.”

All major populated subdivisions fall within a four to six-minute response time to the new location — the response time fire departments strive for.

There’s a four-minute response time to the North Murray Industrial Park, within six minutes to Douglas Road and Riverside Road, all schools in the response area are within four minutes and the Trenton Memorial Hospital also has a four-minute response time.

Peter Kempenaar, president of Task Force Engineering, said construction will begin shortly.

“Scheduled completion is September next year so it should be on track to get that done,” he said.

“It’s a beautiful facility; this thing is going to meet and exceed all required regulatory requirements and building code requirements and it just brings the whole fire department up to a new standard for sure in terms of facilities they’ve got to work with.”

It’s exciting to be a local contractor involved in the project, he said.

“There’s a lot of value, I think, to having local contractors involved, because there’s big investments in these projects, and if you can keep that investment circulating in the community by engaging local

Trenton — The Trenton Memorial Hospital (TMH) Foundation received $10,000 for vital signs equipment at TMH from Whitley Insurance and Financial Services and Gore Mutual.

Loris Clarke, president of Whitley Insurance and Financial Services, presented the cheque to Phil Wild, chair of the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation, on behalf of Gore Mutual.

The donation represents a matched donation of $5,000 from Gore Mutual and $5,000 from Whitley Insurance and Financial Services.

“The hospital is the heartbeat of our community, and we are proud to support their medical equipment needs,” said Clarke.

contractors, sub contractors and suppliers, it just really adds to the value,” he said.

Task Force Engineering has built fire halls in Picton, Belleville and also Colborne.

After about nine years on the back burner, Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison said it’s great to finally see the project underway.

“I just feel like the Lord has lifted a weight off my shoulders and we are going ahead with a fabulous project, much needed in the municipality,” he said. “It’s going to be what you would say a state of the art facility, ready to help our first responders get to where they’re needed.”

CFB Trenton joins the fight in British Columbia to battle summer wildfires The Canadian Armed Forces has sent aircraft, liaison officers, and other personnel to support the ongoing emergency response to the wildfires in British Columbia.

The Province of British Columbia requested the Government of Canada assistance in the form of RCAF air assets to conduct a variety of tasks, including assisting with the evacuation of the local population affected by the wildfires and assisting the ground operations by providing airlift capacities for first responders and equipment.

The RCAF has deployed a CC-177 Globemaster III, a CC-130J Hercules, two CH147F Chinooks, and three CH-146 Griffons to British Columbia to support the wildfires operations.

CFB Trenton commander Colonel Colin Keiver addressed the forest fire situation during an change-of-command ceremony with 429 Squadron in Trenton. “Right now, you have a C-17 out in Comox supporting the forest fire efforts in British Columbia,” he said.

A C-130J transport plane from Trenton's 436 Sqn. has been deployed in the effort, as well

as the 429 Sqn. C-17 Globemaster.

The CAF stands ready to provide highlytrained personnel and unique resources tailored to help Canadians during periods of uncertainty and distress following natural disasters, reiterated Keiver.

"Skilled and dedicated Canadian Armed Forces personnel always stand ready to help fellow Canadians in need,” stated Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan in a press release.

“Partners across the Government of Canada, including the Canadian Armed Forces, will continue to provide support to the Province of British Columbia as they fight these wildfires and will continue to do so as long as the need exists."

Public Safety Canada is responsible for co-ordinating the Government of Canada emergency response. Canadian Armed Forces personnel are in continuous liaison with Public Safety, other federal partners, and the Province of British Columbia to ensure a synchronized response to the situation, said a national defence statement Thursday.

Search is on in Lake Ontario for models of the Avro Arrow CFB Trenton - The story of the Avro Arrow is that of a Canadian aviation legend and its sad demise has ratcheted up any pieces of its ill-fated past.

For that reason, a massive, hi-tech search has once again begun off Prince Edward County to find scale models of the Cold War era jet fighter – test models fired off over the lake in the 1950s.

“Raise the Arrow” is a search and recovery mission of nine Avro Arrow ‘free flight’ models launched over Lake Ontario in series of tests during 1954 – 1957.

The models are located somewhere off the south shores of Prince Edward County and once recovered, the models will be housed at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum (CASM) in Ottawa and the National Air Force Museum of Canada (NAFMC) in Trenton.

Chris Colton, executive director of National Air Force Museum, said the Trenton-based museum is excited about the opportunity to house one of the models. “ We remain hopeful that at least two models are found and if we receive one, it will greatly add to our collection at the National Air Force Museum of Canada.”

In the past, privately-funded missions have attempted to locate and recover the lost models,

Concrete poured in Yardmen Arena represents big step for project

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – Concrete progress is underway at the new rink for Belleville Senators, the city’s new AHL franchise.

Cement was poured to seal the new surface for Belleville’s Yardmen Arena on Wednesday, July 19.

It’s a critical step for the $20.5 million-city project and a sign that crews are on pace to meet the Nov. 1 deadline to have the rink serve as the home for the new Belleville Senators American Hockey League franchise.

“As of today, the stress is dropping,” said Peter Lyng, Belleville’s facilities manager and the project manager for the Yardmen project as he watched crews on site. “The floor is the biggest component of the project.”

Beneath the concrete, 57,000-square feet of piping had been installed as part of new refrigeration systems for the rink.

Crews from Cimco Refrigeration were working on the floor and crews from Duron Equipment were about to do the finishing. Crews from Ball Construction did the preparation work.

Lyng said the city has a good relationships will all the companies involved and trusts things will go smoothly. Although the concrete was being poured Wednesday, it will have to ‘cure’ for about three

but all have failed due inadequate funding, water depths, search area size and the amount of metal debris on the bottom.

A group known as OEX Recovery Group Inc., in sponsorship with Osisko Mining Inc. and Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd. Has stepped forward in a coordinated effort to raise the Arrow models from the lakebed – wherever they may be. They also bring a slew of financial support from several major organizations across Canada which include, National Bank, Bank of Montreal, CASM, Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF),Canadian Coast Guard, The Royal Canadian Military Institute, just to name a few.

The models, which lay several kilometres from shore in depths more than 40 metres, are one-eighth scale replicas of the famed flying jet, and were part of the final flight design test work done prior to the production of the CF-105 Arrow. The only known artifacts from the Avro Arrow program remaining to be found are the free flight test models. The condition of the models is unknown.

“We initiated this program about a year ago with the idea of bringing back a piece of lost Canadian history to the Canadian public,” said John Burzynski, head of OEX, the group leading the recovery efforts, in a media statement released last week.

weeks and be tested to ensure the pour was successful.

Lyng said he’s feeling great about the project now because most of the work that remains is cosmetic.

There’s still a lot of work to do, but the project is moving along and the Yardmen looks vastly different now, compared to when it was home to the Ontario Hockey League’s Belleville Bulls.

The concrete structure for the additional north endzone seats has been completed and construction crews were working in areas of the building that are being expanded.

The west end upper deck is getting ready for the installation of eight luxury suites and the east-end upper deck is about to get five media booths.

There are also additional standing room areas in the northwest and northeast corners, which provide a bird’s eye view of the rink.

Work also continues on the home team’s 9,000 square foot dressing room area and on improved amenities for visiting teams.

The future for some Yardmen amenities is still to be determined. For instance, much of the south end of the arena is being kept in tact. The Senators may decide in the future how best to make use of the area, Lyng explained. But, for now, a single row of old green seats remains in place.

The Kalisli family: New Canadians forging a future in Trent Hills

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford — Kamil and Anna Kalisli are in a good place now: Canada.

It's been their home since they and their two young sons arrived last September from Lebanon, where they had been living for more than two years after fleeing their native Syria.

“It's a good thing that (has) happened to my family,” Anna said recently from her condo in Campbellford.

“It's a nice country, (with) nice people around us. We really are lucky,” she said. “We have a good life.”

They had one in Damascus.

Anna was a journalist and Kamil was a contractor who did renovations.

As violence began to tear their country apart Anna grew “scared” but she and her husband continued to work because they needed the money “to stay alive” and provide for their family.

And there were “signs” a solution was coming that would bring the civil war to an end.

Instead it “got bigger than we imagined” so they fled to Lebanon “to build a new life” and escape “a horrible situation.”

When Canada opened its arms to refugees, Anna and Kamil seized the opportunity and had the good fortune of being matched with the Trent Hills Community Refugee Initiative committee, chaired by Sonny Lennon.

Anna and Kamil Kalisli and their two sons, Sam, 1, and Zain, 5, have taken to life in a small community far from their native Syria, where violence continues to reign.

John Campbell/Metroland

“They have warm hearts,” Anna said.

She and her husband have been taking English lessons in Cobourg to become fluent in the language. Volunteers drove them initially but Kamil got his driver's licence and the couple bought a car, which Kamil uses to drive to

work. His skills and experience are making it possible for him to earn an income.

“He's happy," and optimistic about their future, Anna said.

Five-year-old Zain, their oldest son, attended St. Mary Catholic Elementary School.

He made “many friends” who

regularly visit him, and he was “excited” to learn he'd be able to play soccer this summer, Anna said.

“He's very happy.”

Zain, who speaks Arabic, French, and now English, has “fit in perfectly,” Lennon said.

“It's been just a joy to watch

how the family has progressed.”

When he was asked by Anna and Kamil how they could ever repay him and the committee, his answer was that as long as they are “good Canadians, they have lived up to that expectation.

“I have no doubt in my mind they will be very successful Canadians,” he said.

Lennon said Trent Hills residents have been “phenomenal in offering their services” to help the Kalisli family adjust to life in a foreign country, and there has been “a great collaboration between all the various service groups, churches, everybody.”

Anna and Kamil are very grateful.

“Usually to begin a new life it's hard,” Anna said, but the committee and volunteers have been “very, very good and very helpful.

“We really feel we have a family here,” she said, and she's as certain as Lennon is that the relationships they have established with the many who have helped them will continue long after the committee's one-year contractual obligations required by the federal government expire in September.

The committee chose at the outset to give the family “all the support that they need” but to leave it with them to make the decisions, such as where to live, Lennon said.

“Our group as a whole couldn't be happier we did the right thing,” he said. “The family has done absolutely, amazingly well.

Local musician to play for Market Square party

Napanee woman charged for leaving child in hot car Belleville - A Napanee woman has been charged after leaving her child in a parked car in a Belleville mall or plaza parking lot Tuesday evening.

A statement issued by Belleville police is short on specifics, but said police and ambulance were called to an unspecified “parking lot on Bell Boulevard” Tuesday evening for a report of a “distressed child left unattended in a parked vehicle…”

Police said emergency medical services personnel took the child to Belleville General Hospital for ex-

amination and “the child was later released.”

The name of the woman, only described as a 30-year-old woman from Napanee, was not released, but the woman has a court date of Aug. 24 on a charge of failure to provide the necessities of life.

At the time of the incident, weather records show the temperature in Belleville was approximately 26 degrees. There have been multiple warnings by police, health units and even the Humane Society about leaving unattended children or pets in vehicles on hot days.

Belleville Collegiate grad Spencer Evans, now a well-known Kingston-based musician, will be the go-to band for this year’s annual Rotary Street Party on the Market Square Friday evening.

Evans will lead a three-piece flexible combo with music for all tastes, featuring himself on keyboard, clarinet and vocals, plus drummer and bass player.

Evans performed a few years ago at the Street Party in concert with Emily Fennell, but this year’ his combo is the only act. He has a reputation for being able to play, jazz , blues, rock and whatever the

audience wants.

From a boy chorister at Belleville’s Christ Church, Evans studied piano and later, clarinet, spanning that instruments’ unique wide range from base to ear-blowing highs and wails.

He spent several months in New Orleans where he developed a passion for jazz, blues and Cajun music. Early in his career, he recorded an album with Canada’s world-famous Cowboy Junkies and followed that up with a world tour with that group. He has also toured across Canada a couple of times with Pat Temple and has

entertained Canadian troops at Alert in the Arctic and in Croatia during Canada’s stint in that wartorn area.

He has also recorded and toured with Sarah Harmer and other artists and plays regularly on summer cruises out of Kingston on the Island Queen. Evans performs frequently at various Quinte area venues, including in Picton, Wellington and Belleville and is the son of Jack and Nancy Evans, of Belleville.

Trains through Tweed again?

It could happen, says Via Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been decades since the sound of a train whistle sounded in places like Tweed and Sharbot Lake, but a federal investment into a plan by Via Rail could make it happen.

A new passenger rail line is being touted by Via for the corridor between Windsor and Quebec City and that could include stops in both Tweed and Sharbot Lake, locally.

Via Rail is proposing $5.25-billion would be needed to build a dedicated passenger rail line through the most populated region of Canada in the Quebe-Windsor corridor.

Frontenac County council endorsed a resolution from the Eastern Ontario Wardensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Caucus (EOWC) that called on the federal and Ontario governments to financially support the project.

The EOWC resolution included a call for the rail line to included stops at smaller centres, like Tweed, in order to enable â&#x20AC;&#x153;the user to have direct and fast access to railway stations and hubs in communities across rural eastern Ontario.â&#x20AC;?

Via says the increasingly crowded main lines mean for slower services and longer delays on passenger trains using the mains between Quebec and Windsor. The new line would alleviate

the backlog.

Via trains currently run on tracks owned by Canadian National Rail, which limits how often the passenger trains can run. The passenger rail service says it is increasingly shunted to sidings to let freight trains pass.

Via has charts on its website to show how the proposed new line would be kind to the environment. The Crown corporation says an electrified route between Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal would have the equivalent of taking 2.4 million cars off the road. It is also projected that the route would reduce congestion in and out of major urban centres and reduce inter-city trips by car by 11%.

The reduced car travel would translate to a reduction of the equivalent of 10.8 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.

Northumberland County to review vacant property tax rebates

Belleville Orthodontist charged with voyeurism Belleville Police have arrested a former Belleville orthodontist and charged him with several charges related to surreptitiously video taping young female patients and possession of child pornography.

Police began investigating when they were told the operator of a North Front Street dental office had reportedly been videotaping young patients without their knowledge for many years. Some of the reported incidents involved people under the age of 18.

On July 12, officers with specialized units of both Belleville and Toronto police raided a home in Toronto.

Anthony Garry Solomon, 69, now living in Toronto, was charged after a joint investigation that began earlier this year

by Belleville police criminal investigations branch. Solomon faces two counts of voyeurism involving females over and under the age of 18, possession of child pornography and making child pornography. He was released from custody under conditions and will make a court appearance in Belleville on August 17.

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Anthony Garry Solomon has been charged with voyeurism and child pornography charges.

Police said Tuesday they are now in the process of notifying numerous victims.

Police asked that anyone with information should call Det. Const. Darrell Hatfield with Belleville Police or Quinte Crime Stoppers.

Northumberland County — The county is undertaking a review of its vacancy rebate program which has cost it more than $269,000 a year the past two years.

The program was originally intended to compensate owners of vacant commercial and industrial properties whose taxation burden increased “as a result of property tax reform on vacant units” and “the increased cost could not be recouped through ... rents or business operations,” director of finance/treasurer Glenn Dees wrote in a report.

However, in some instances, vacancy rebates of 30 to 35 per cent of taxes paid might be seen as “an incentive for property owners to hold onto vacant properties for future uses or speculation, thereby providing no productive use to communities, and creating areas with chronic vacancies,” Dees stated.

“Ongoing vacancies inhibit economic growth, job creation, investment, and tourism,” he wrote.

Vacancy rebates also result in higher property taxes for other property owners to cover the costs of the program.

“This is borne primarily by the residential tax class which comprises over 80 per cent of assessment valuation within Northumberland County,” Dees explained.

The Northumberland Treasurers committee unanimously supported having a review done of the tax rebate program to assess the impact of phasing it out.

The program is required by legislation but the province recently granted municipalities “new flexibilities” in tailoring policies relative to their own needs.

The rebates at the county and lower tier levels combined added up to $269,207 in 2016 and $295,152 in 2015, with most of the property

owners who benefited located in Cobourg (55 and 56 the last two years), followed by Port Hope (25 and 29).

As part of their review, county staff will engage property owners affected by any change to the program, from changing the amount of the rebate provided to phasing it out altogether, to assess its potential impact.

Dees said in an interview many municipalities are undertaking a review, and some have already elected to phase out the vacancy rebate program, “particularly in communities where (there are) chronic depressed areas.”

“It's an impediment to driving economic activity by having vacant storefronts,” he said.

Dees also noted that the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation takes into account the impact chronic vacancies in an area has in lowering the value of properties, lessening the need for rebates to be given.

Checking out Ontario’s stunning Thomas Foster Memorial

BY JOHN M. SMITH

On a recent day trip northwest of here, my wife and I arrived at a beautiful mausoleum, the Thomas Foster Memorial, that’s located just outside of Uxbridge, and it’s a rather striking and unusual landmark to find atop a hill, along a relatively quiet country road. We were suddenly looking at one of the most spectacular tombs to be found in the entire country – and, of course, we decided to get our very own ‘up close and personal’ look at this uniquely designed architectural treasure.

During our guided tour, we were told that Thomas Foster had become a rich young man by selling real estate in the Toronto area (after apprenticing as a butcher). He was apparently very frugal with his money, and he would often do his own repairs on his rental properties.

He eventually entered the world of politics, and he became a Member of Parliament in 1917. Later, he was elected as Toronto’s 40th mayor – in 1925. After serving as Toronto’s mayor, he travelled to India, where he visited the Taj Mahal, and this inspired him to want to build a mausoleum right here in the Ontario countryside – for his wife, daughter, and himself (both his wife and daughter had already died). It was to be built next to the small rural cemetery where his ancestors were buried, and it was to cost the then exorbitant sum of $100,000.00. Thomas went to the Toronto architectural firm of Craig and Madill with his proposal, and after some design changes, the mausoleum was built. However, by the time of its completion, in 1936, the actual cost had skyrocketed to more than double the original estimate (about $250,000.00), and that would, of course, be several million dollars in today’s market.

I’ve been to the Taj Mahal, and the Thomas Foster Memorial does not look like an exact replica of it. Rather, the Thomas Foster Memorial is a combination of several artistic and architectural styles. It has a Byzantine dome, a pulpit of Rocherons marble, and Italian marble columns. It also has a roof of copper tile,

solid bronze doors, four great internal arches below the central dome, and terrazzo floor designs and marble mosaics.

We also found 12 hand-painted and fired stained glass windows (the work of Canadian artist Yvonne Williams) and a removable slab in the floor that would allow for coffins to be lowered to crypts below.

Furthermore, there’s a plethora of both Christian symbols (including the Alpha and Omega symbols in the floor’s centre, a marble altar, a gold cross, and symbols of the apostles and evangelists) and other symbols (including the River Styx, the River of Death, with its floating water lilies and lily pads) There’s even a laurel wreath of victory over death that encircles the central motif, and within the mausoleum’s central dome itself, in gold lettering, is the following inscription: “Take this my body for it is done and I have gained a new life, glorious and eternal.” The southern transept contains the three family sarcophagi, and above each is a memorial stained-glass window with a modest memorial shield. For example, his wife’s inscription simply reads: “In loving memory of Elizabeth McCauley Foster 1853 – 1920”. Thomas’ daughter, Ruby, died at the age of 10, and Thomas himself was born in 1852 and died 1n 1945.

When Thomas Foster died at the age of 93, he left a rather unusual will. Not only did he set aside a portion of his wealth to maintain this memorial itself, and funds for scholarships to be given in memory of himself, his wife and his daughter, but he also provided money for a number of philanthropic endeavours. These included some of the more usual charities, such as for Cancer Research, the Children’s Aid Society, and the Humane Society, but he also stipulated that there was to be money set aside for “an annual picnic for Toronto’s underprivileged children”, for the planting of trees “to beautify the approaches to the City of Toronto”, and “to feed wild birds around the city during the winter months.”

Bicycle-powered opera company having a wheely good run Sweat “is the perfect show for everyone; it is beautiful music with a solid story that needs to be told – and it is in English!” Cox said.

The show, which includes songs in Hungarian, Cantonese, Ukrainian and Spanish, follows a day in the life of a group of immigrant women who work in a sweatshop, and reflects on the hopes and dreams they have and the daily challenges they face.

“I love watching people who have never experienced live opera hear this (calibre) of performance,” Cox said. “They are always blown away.”

And “to get a fully staged opera outside of Toronto (is) pretty special.”

The mandate of the Bicycle Opera is to deliver contemporary Canadian music to smaller communities where there is little or no opportunity to hear it.

Tickets can be purchased in advance for $25 by calling 905-344-7119 or visiting www.themillatpipercreek.ca/events. The cost at the door is $35.

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Castleton – A bicycle-powered opera company is bringing an a cappella opera about the global garment industry to Cobourg.

The Bicycle Opera Project, the only Canadian performance company that tours on bikes, will perform Sweat at Trinity United Church in Cobourg Aug. 1.

The show’s sponsors, the people behind The Mill at Piper Creek Arts and Heritage Centre, would have preferred to host the show in Castleton but the owners of the former grist mill, Mitch and Candace Cox, are locked in a legal dispute with a neighbour over property boundary lines.

Candace Cox, president of The Mill, said in an email that plans to turn the 19th century building into an arts and heritage centre “are inching forwards” but the couple’s “legal dilemma continues to drag on. (It’s) draining and slow and prevents us from moving too far ahead.”

Nonetheless, they and the non-for-profit organization they established are determined to bring a diverse group of artists to the area, to venues other than the centre until it eventually opens.

SATURDAY - 6:30 PM - Tim Sanders Band, Debbie Bechamp, Tyler Cochrane, Fred Lewis, Bob McQuaid, John Milner, James Ryce SUNDAY GOSPEL SHOW: - 11:00 AM SUNDAY 6:30 PM - Tim Sanders Band, Mitch Barker, Darlene Brooks, Gloria Downer-Pearson, Rita Harpell, Winston James OPEN MIC SESSIONS: Thurs. at 7 PM, Fri., Sat. & Sun at 1:00 & 10:45 PM. Come sing with the band!

come.

“Being able to encourage and promote the success of these vibrant professional artists, who are both local and from across Canada – this is the kind of thing which inspired us to work to create an Arts and Heritage space,” Cox said.

“We’re lucky to have the opportunity to host these kind of events, and grateful to the Northumberland community for helping us make them successful.”

Glanmore looking to grow back to its roots

BY JACK EVANS

Built as an impressive Victorian mansion of some 9,000 square feet many years ago, even mansions run out of space, especially when you try to restore the original period furnishings and layout, officials at Belleville’s Glanmore National Historic Site can attest.

A case in point: Belleville’s history is full of events and artifacts the museum would love to display as a “community museum,” but there is simply no room. Even the spacious basement, now the repository of many such artifacts, is now targeted to be cleaned out and restored to original purposes like its period kitchen and laundry, said Rona Rustige, museum curator.

“It will take some time to find the authentic style of gas-fired range from the original house,” she said, among the items that will have to go into storage to accomplish this are pieces such as Capt. John Meyer’s original powder horn of ivory. It is such items with direct connection to the city’s history that the museum wants to be able to show the hometown crowd as well as visitors.

“We started work on this a year ago,” said Rustige, noting one display about the city’s history of firefighting has already been prepared in board format and is now on display in the new Station Street fire hall. A second display focusing on the city’s 200th birthday

Glanmore National Historic Site, once a stately East Hill Belleville home, is undergoing yet more renovation and restoration.

Chris Malette/Metroland

and Canada’s 150th has also been prepared and displayed at recent events like Waterfront and Canada Day. It is also scheduled for the coming Rib Fest and Hastings Plowing Match.

Dr. Suresh Appan & Associates

These are just interest-whetting projects for the serious business of considering some sort of annex space to display many artifacts more publicly and properly, both she and Melissa

Wakefield, her assistant, agreed.

“We started working on this a year ago,” they said, getting council approval to hire a proper consultant and starting to brainstorm staff members about what might be needed and what to consider. All museum staff, volunteers and advisory committee members are onside with the plan, but there could be a substantial cost involved and what does the public think? Consultations will be a part of the project in the months ahead once a basic plan is in place.

Meanwhile, almost every room except the basement in the nationally-designated historic site has been furnished and restored in keeping with authentic period paintings, furnishings, wall paper and paint and even the original carpet. That project, installed just over a year ago, involved sending fabric remnants to the original carpet maker in England to have a rich, patterned red recreation made and installed at a cost of $75,000 , for the main hall and stairs, a cost covered by a provincial grant.

The quality of the carpet is such, said Rustige, that, like the original one, it is expected to last at least another 100 years.

In a word, Glanmore is one national quality treasure in beauty and authenticity. Victorian it may be, so now it is time to focus on Belleville, from its aboriginal beginnings to pioneer times and onward.

Man turns himself in Campbellford — Campbellford man Lucas Albert Nehrling, 37, has turned himself into police.

Nehrling turned himself in on July 19 and some stolen property was recovered.

The man is connected to an incident that happened on July 14, when members of the OPP organized crime enforcement bureau — Peterborough/

Northumberland community street crime unit and the emergency response team executed a criminal code search warrant at a residence south of Campbellford. Two residents were observed at the rear of the property resulting in a woman being arrested and a man fleeing from police.

A subsequent search by members and the canine unit

failed to locate the man at the time. Officers seized a quantity of drugs and suspected stolen property.

Ashleigh Taylor, 36, of Campbellford has already been charged with possession of property obtained by crime — under $5,000; possession of a schedule I substance — methamphetamine — and possession of a schedule II substance — cannabis marijuana, over 30 grams.

She was released with a court date of Aug. 2.

Nehrling was charged with possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000 (three counts); break, enter a dwelling house with intent to commit indictable offence; break, enter a dwelling house — commit an indictable offence; possession of firearm or ammunition contrary to prohibition order; possession of methamphetamine; possession of cannabis marijuana — over 30 grams; theft under $5,000.He was held for a bail hearing.

Finance minister Morneau tours Tweed area with Bossio Tweed - Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau did some coffee-shop chatting and a farm visit here Wednesday, July 19, joined by MP Mike Bossio, Hastings— Lennox and Addington.

The visit formed part of the minister’s tour to promote what the federal government is calling it “smart investments that lead to shared growth and creat(ing) opportunities and jobs for the middle class...”

Morneau and Bossio began their tour in Tweed with lunch at the Gateway Restaurant, joined by Tweed Mayor Jo-Anne Albert. They then stopped into Gaylord Flooring, a family business that has been serving the community since 1985, and has since expanded across North America through their online sales platform.

Bossio noted that the unprecedented federal government investment of $500 million into rural high-speed Internet will make small town businesses like this even more globally successful. Morneau

and Bossio then grabbed coffee at By the Way Café, before heading to their first scheduled tour.

At Enright Cattle Company, a family farm run by Kara and Darold Enright near Tweed, Morneau talked about the government’s plan to build a stronger middle class through investments in education, skills training, infrastructure and innovation.

Bossio also noted that through federal investments in the tax-free Canada Child Benefit and the reduction in middle class taxes, Canadians have more money in their pockets to spend locally on businesses such as the Enright Cattle Company.

Morneau and Bossio also visited Bon Eco Design in Tamworth, where Morneau emphasized the significant contribution of business owners and entrepreneurs across Canada, from small, family-run operations, to dynamic and growing firms.

Award winning Canadian duo, Sultans of String swing into Old Church Theatre August 9

Quinte West - Canada’s multiple award winning string slingers Sultans of String take their genre hopping musical passport to Trenton with a much anticipated stop at the Old Church Theatre, August 9, 7:30pm Touring non-stop in support of their latest CD, Subcontinental Drift and special vinyl release “!0”, this “energetic and exciting band, with talent to burn!” (Maverick Magazine, UK) serve up revved up Celtic reels, Flamenco, Gypsy-jazz, Arabic, and Cuban rhythms, while fiery violin dances with kinetic guitar with unstoppable grooves.

Throughout, acoustic strings meet with electronic wizardry to create layers and depth of sound.

Celebrating a milestone 10 years together, Sultans of String have hit #1 across Canada on Top 10 national radio charts, #15 on Billboard (world music), top 10 on

CMJ (world), and received multiple awards and accolades, including 1st place in the ISC (out of 15,000 entries), 3 JUNO (Canada’s Grammy) nominations, 3 Canadian Folk Music Awards, a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal for bandleader Chris McKhool, plus invitations to perform/record with such luminaries as The Chieftains, Sweet Honey In The Rock, and David Bromberg. Led by 5-string violinist McKhool (Jesse Cook, Pavlo) who was raised in a Lebanese-Egyptian household just bursting with music and diversity, Chris was fed a steady diet of delicious musicality alongside Middle Eastern cuisine and violin lessons. At the core of their sound is his bold and fiery fiddle, melded seamlessly with founding guitarist Kevin Laliberté’s (Jesse Cook) rumba rhythm. Together their musical synergy created Sultans of String’s signature

sound – the intimate and playful relationship between violin and guitar.

Their US manager and acclaimed promoter David Wilkes (Bela Fleck, Emmylou Harris, Jerry Jeff Walker) states, “Over the decades, I’ve worked with numerous top ten and #1 Billboard artists. In all that time, I have not worked with composers more talented than Chris McKhool and Kevin Laliberté from Sultans of String. Not only are they a superb writing team, they are also amazing arrangers & musicians.

Thw show takes place on Wednesday, Aug 9, 7:30 p.m. at The Old Church Theatre, 940 Bonisteel Rd, Trenton.

Tickets are available for $20 in advance or $25 at the door. For more information call 613-848-1411 or visit www.oldchurch.ca

One-act plays pack the Old Church

BY JACK EVANS, LYNN MARIOTT

Quinte West - The Old Church Theatre founded by the late Roy Bonisteel has proven it can handle theatre as well as music ensembles.

For its recent weekend of three performances of three one-act plays by local writers, the theatre enjoyed sold-out crowds throughout, the audience was told at the closing performance Sunday afternoon.

It was local talent across the board for this first one-act festival, with local playwrights, local directors and local actors. Even with small casts, almost a requirement for one-act plays, the calibre of acting and scripts held the audiences’ attention and earned much applause, and where appropriate, laughter.

Audiences were welcomed to the world of Larry and David, brothers who are trying to collude on having their elderly father be put in a nursing home while at the same time in head-on collision on the fine details. In a trueto-life story called “Home,” written by Ryan Aldred and directed by Astrid Young the boys ultimately storm off the stage, threatening to see each other “in court.” The audience learns that the father, whom the boys thought was dead, was actually “playing possum” and had some ideas of his own about his future. Well acted by Scott Roodvoets as Larry, Richard Turtle as David and Brian Weston as “Pops.”

Play number two was a poignant short drama about a seven-year-old boy literally kidnapped by his jail-bound father to remove him from his mother. Written by Ken Murray and directed by Matthew Sheahan, Peter Wood transforms himself into a seven-yearold as he meets his father and learns some new “rules.” His father, played by Jamison

Picard, ultimately leads him to a place of “warmth” and comfort. His memories of that event as mature man and his father’s shortcomings lead him to conclude: “It is what we do with our shortcomings that matters.”

“Tea With Roger” is a comic romp of two seasoned actresses dealing with an errant suitor, allowing Judie Preece and Kathryn Dalmer full scope of their acting talents.

Kathryn, as Mavis, has her would-be husband gagged and bound in the closet behind them as they discuss how to deal with him over tea and make liberal use of a Taser to quiet him down. From shock and compassion for the imprisoned suitor, Preece, as Joan, comes to take her friend’s side as she realizes the man was a fraud and gold digger. Mike Kirby plays the gagged-sounding victim in the closet in this clever farce by Belleville’s Peter Paylor.

Martin Durkin, local poet and regular at Tweed’s 1st Tuesday Muse poetry evenings, hosted and introduced each play was an original poem.

Durkin also gave a poetic tribute to Roy Bonisteel, the late broadcaster and journalist known best for his Canadian TV series, Man Alive. Bonisteel is father of Leslie Bonisteel who operates the Old Church with her husband Brian Weston.

The refurbished Old Church holds 35.

Seating is comfortable, the local art and craft beers intriguing and the acoustics are perfect for actors and musicians and audience.

Paylor’s, This is Rosewood - Tales from the Tavern, will be performed at the Old Church on Aug 12-13.

“You don’t want to miss Part 2 of the (Sharpen the Acts) series planned for October,” said Bonisteel.

Left to right, in “Tea With Roger” are Mike Kerby as Roger, Kathryn Dalmer and Judie Preece.

The Good Earth

By Dan Clost

Gosh it’s hot, relatively speaking

Gentle Reader, it’s been an interesting gardening season, hasn’t it? We’ve had the English spring, which seemed to enjoy our part of the country so much that it overstayed its welcome.

We’ve just finished our hottest week of the year with only one of the days being free of oppressive humidity. Mind you, that’s relative since we haven’t really been acclimated to hot weather. “Humidex” is a word with which we are familiar and most of us have a vague understanding that it is a combination of temperature

For Work Or Play N&N Galvanized Trailers

and relative humidity which suggests to us how we feel, e.g., “Temperature is 28˚C but feels like 35˚C.” So, what does that mean in practical terms?

Let’s start with us humans as we are, egocentrically speaking, the most important part of the equation. The Occupational Health Clinics for Ontario Workers has looked at humidex ratings and devised a response plan depending upon those figures. https://www.ccohs.ca/ oshanswers/phys_agents/humidex.html They have a considered, best practice sugges-

tion to follow at the workplace -look for Table 3 on the website. At our workplace, we take onsite readings of temperature and humidity which we use to get the humidex. Then we follow the Clinic’s recommended actions, as per Table 3. You can use an on-line calculator at http://www.ohcow.on.ca/edit/ files/general_handouts/heatstress-calculator.html).

There are two sets of responses depending upon the acclimation of the workers (non-acclimated include office workers in an air-conditioned environment; acclimated workers are outside types like nursery workers) and the degree of physical exertion.

The responses range from watch for symptoms and drink extra water to 45 minutes of rest per hour. Depending upon the nature of the work, most companies will have a shutdown strategy as the humidex increases.

Last year, we had 2 days where the chart went off the scale (above 50) and, frankly, we didn’t need to look at any chart to know it was too hot

to do anything. For the most part, we have found it to be a valuable tool that lets us take care of ourselves before we cross a health threshold. There is no reason why this can’t be used on your own estate, GR. I know that when I get a chance to work on the home estate, I tend to carry on in spite of high temperatures because I feel pressured to get things done.

Referring back to the first paragraph, the sudden transition from spring to dog days of summer left us feeling hot and tired. Table 3 actually suggested that we carry on as normal but to drink a little bit more water. Given the same weather conditions come mid-August, we won’t even look at the chart.

This system removes the subjectivity in terms of health risk.

Plants are not really all that different from us when it comes to high humidity and heat. The best strategy to help them endure this form of stress is to keep them healthy. Good nutrition, a good watering regimen and, often overlooked, putting the right plant in the right

place are the key factors. In the heat, plants strive to preserve themselves and will actively “remove” bits and pieces that threaten their long-term survival. Oddly enough, this does include leaf drop as a means of reducing moisture loss. Odd because leaves are a plant’s mains source of food. Pay attention to the top foot of soil, where most of the water absorbing roots tend to repose, and keep that moist.

Watering is best done in the morning because that is the time most plants turn on the intake valves. The second best time for watering is whenever you can.

Another consideration, re right plants, is that root zones are compatible. Hostas underneath a nice shady maple might not thrive as well as they should if that maple is from Norway, Acer platanoides, aka Crimson King, Emerald Queen, Princeton Gold etc. Thanks to Judy Hayward for that memory jog.

For articles on best watering practices you can refer to the archives of this newspaper.
