Kids of all ages wet a line for Blair Smith

OVER 60 YEARS EXPERIENCE

BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton – Blair Smith wished to leave a legacy of fishing and he has done exactly that. Tammy Smith said her late husband was diagnosed with stage four testicular cancer when he was 38-years-old and before his death he wished to share his passion of fishing with kids and introduce them to the sport. “He was an avid fisherman, he was a pro bass fisherman, and he did competitive fishing,” she said. “He wanted to leave a legacy of fishing, to get kids out and get kids exposed to fishing in order to sustain the industry, he also wanted kids to receive a hot dog, so every kid gets a free hot dog.” With the annual Blair Smith Memorial Fishing with Kids event now in its ninth year, Smith said the momentum for the event keeps moving forward and growing. More than 100 kids and their families had their life jackets and fishing rods at hand during the event at RiverFront Square on Saturday July 29, catching many fish. Postponed from May and moved to the other side of the Trent River, this year’s event was on a beautiful sunny day and it became a collaboration between Smith, the DBIA, city of Quinte West and the Kiwanis Club. “It’s really impressive because I thought if we could get to ten years I would be grateful for that, that the community has supported it, but I think it’s going to just continue,” said Smith. “I just smile, I just feel like it’s like a message from heaven to the kids that

he just wants them to learn about fishing.” Patrick Deckert brought his fouryear-old son Christopher out fishing in the event for the first time and said they both really enjoyed themselves. “It’s nice, with the free barbecue and everything, it’s nice for the kids to get them interested in fishing, it’s

important, you have to get them outside, get them active and get them into sports in general,” he said. The location was fantastic, said Deckert, and he said it’s nice to support Blair Smith’s legacy. “It’s nice to see, he was young and I know what it’s like to lose somebody too so it’s nice to honour them in a

After a number of ATV-related incidents in Central Hastings and surrounding area, the Ontario Provincial Police has decided it’s time to crack down and hit the trails. Staff Sargent Scott Semple, commander of OPP Central Hastings Detachment, says that the circumstances of these accidents are mostly preventable -- and it’s concerning. “Even prior to these accidents we were concerned about ATV operation on our roads,” says Semple. “I don’t have to state the obvious. We’ve had two very serious accidents over the last two weeks that could have easily been fatalities and it’s because people are treating these vehicles as if it’s not that serious to drive them impaired or unsafely.” Since 2015, Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation has given ATV and ORV riders the go-ahead to ride through towns, and in some cases, on municipal thoroughways where it’s permitted. Semple says that since municipalities have begun allowing ATV and ORV traffic, there have been some serious safety concerns from authorities. “Up until recently, side-by-sides weren’t allowed on roads and now they are. Though they are a recreational vehicle, people are using them more and for transportation; they aren’t necessarily abiding by the rules as they apply.” Semple says that many riders may not know the rules of the road as it applies to them. “Though the municipality allows them on their roads, you’re still bound by the highway traffic act; you have to have a helmet, you have to have your lights on, you can’t go on a road until you have a G2 or an M license. You

need insurance, plates and all the safety equipment.” There are specific speed limits for those that choose to operate an ATV or ORV, according to the Highway Traffic Act. “We’re finding a lot of people drive them like a car and you’re not supposed to. You need to be on the shoulder. If it’s a 50 km/h speed limit, you can do 20,” says Semple. “Anything over 50, the speed limit is 50.” Semple says the Centre Hastings OPP plan on taking their own precautions to help inform those using ATVs and ORVs as methods of transportation. “We are going to be initiating a campaign in Central Hastings,” says Semple. “We’ll be on our ATVs doing RIDE programs at the end of trails, and we’re going to have the ability to do breath tests. We’re going to be monitoring speed with radar and we’ll be making stops on roadways, looking at equipment and insurance.” According to Semple, there have been eight total ATV and ORV related fatalities in the past year --most of which could have been prevented by a quick safety check. “If they’re not sober, or if they’re speeding, it makes it harder to handle the machine,” says Semple. “We really are concerned with the attitude that people have with driving ATVs. They’re dangerous and if you’re riding you need to have all your faculties. “ Central Hastings OPP urges those who use recreational vehicles to visit the MTO website and viewing the Smart Ride, Safe Ride pamphlet before their next ride.

Quinte Humane Society promotes No Hot Pets campaign for local businesses BY ERIN STEWART

Quinte West — No excuses; no hot pets. The Quinte Humane Society is encouraging local businesses throughout the Quinte region to participate in the annual No Hot Pets campaign through the Ontario SPCA. Businesses that pledge their support for the campaign will receive a sign that they can print and display in their window, letting the public know that they can bring their animals inside while they shop. Frank Rockett, executive director of the Quinte Humane Society, said it’s important to spread awareness about the dangers of leaving pets in vehicles. “Locally, on that first hot weekend, we had six calls in one day about dogs locked in cars, which is just really unfortunate. I think last summer we had about a dozen calls the whole summer, so to receive six calls in one day? That’s disheartening and that’s why we need this push to get the message out there,” Erin Stewart/Metroland he said.

Major boost for Batawa Ski Hill

Neil Ellis, Member of Parliament for the Bay of Quinte, and Sonja Bata, owner of Batawa Ski Hill. Erin Stewart/Metroland

BY ERIN STEWART

Batawa — The Batawa Ski Hill chalet and trail system will receive upgrades thanks to $370,000 from the federal government’s Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program. Neil Ellis, member of Parliament for the Bay of Quinte, was at the Batawa Ski Hill on Thursday, July 27, to share the funding announcement. “It is rarely a positive remark that funding is heading downhill. However, Batawa Ski Hill’s receipt of CIP 150 funding is one exception to this and marks an occasion to celebrate,” he said. “These projects will have a positive impact on our current community members and aptly show future generations the high value we placed on Canada’s recreational centres.” The funding contribution for renovations to the Batawa Ski Hill chalet come in at $300,000 and $70,000 has been allocated to improvements of Batawa’s nature trail and the creation of a pump track. The chalet will undergo energy efficient upgrades to the washrooms, windows, kitchen equipment, lighting, mechanical system, electri-

cal system, sanitation and waste water management systems. Additional accessibility upgrades will be done and the current workshop space will be reconfigured to a community activities space. The natural trail will be improved and a pump track will be constructed for recreational cycling as an extension of the trail, creating a safe and easy-to-supervise environment for children. Sonja Bata, owner of Batawa Ski Hill, said she felt “absolutely great” about the funding and plans for the hill. “I think it’s going to highlight the history of Batawa because it permits us to do things which we had wanted to do but we couldn’t afford to do, so it’s going to be wonderful and this chalet is going to be the most exciting place you could imagine,” she said. More detailed plans for the upgrades and renovations at the hill will be available in about one month, said Bata. The Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program celebrates Confederation and will provide $300 million over two years for the renovation, expansion and improvement of existing community and cultural infrastructure.

OPINION

When mayors behave badly

Poland: The road to autocracy If you are wondering why the European Union is “very close” to stripping Poland of its voting rights in the EU’s Council of Ministers (the closest thing the EU has to a government), the answer lies in something that the foreign minister, Gwynne Dyer Polish Witold Waszczykowski, told the German newspaper Bild recently. The government he serves “only wants to cure our country of a few illnesses,” the foreign minister explained. Diseases like “a new mixture of cultures and races, a world made up of cyclists and vegetarians, who only use renewable energy and who battle all signs of religion.” The true Poland that Waszczykowski claims to represent, by contrast, values “tradition, historical awareness, love of country, faith in God and normal family life between a woman and a man.” It is “real Poles” (conservative, Catholic and super-patriotic) against the manifold evils foisted on the country by ill-intentioned foreigners and the corrupt Poles whose loyalty they have bought. In this struggle, it is right and necessary that the government run by real Poles (the Law and Justice Party) takes control of the media, the courts, the civil service and all the other institutions that might hamper its crusade to cleanse the nation of secret Communists and liberal traitors. And the EU’s objections to all this just prove that it is part of the plot against Poland. Just because you are paranoid, it doesn’t mean that you don’t have enemies, and Poland has had many in the past. In the 18th century Germany, Russia and Austria carved Poland up and shared it out among themselves. In the 20th century Hitler’s Germany and the Soviet Union did it again. After the Second World War the Poles live for 44 years under Communist rule imposed by the victorious Russians. And every time the foreigners found local Poles to do their bidding. But it’s the 21st Century now, and Poland is a free, united and democratic country without any real foreign enemies. Well, okay, maybe Russia could turn into a threat, but Poland’s NATO membership takes care of that. And yet Poland’s national identity is still wrapped up in notions of martydom (“the Christ of the Nations”) and fears of foreign conspiracies. Paranoia and self-pity dominate the nation-

alist discourse in Poland – and now the nationalists are in power. The Law and Justice Party won the presidency and an absolute majority in Parliament in the elections in late 2015, although it only won 37 percent of the vote. And it is changing the law in ways that threaten not just the independence of the courts, but democracy itself. As soon as it won office twenty months ago, it turned the state-owned broadcaster, previously politically neutral, into the propaganda arm of the ruling party. It also destroyed the independence of the civil service, replacing the professionals with its own party loyalists. But it was when it turned on the courts that it really got into trouble with the EU. The EU is probably the only reason that the former Communist-ruled states of Eastern Europe almost all became democracies. They had little historical experience of democracy, but they desperately wanted to be members of the EU as a safeguard against renewed Russian interference in their affairs – and the EU insists that all its members be democratic Not only that, but it carefully defines how democratic states should behave, and a basic principle is the separation of powers: the courts must not be under government control. So when the Law and Justice Party introduced laws letting it fire judges it doesn’t like (including, potentially, the entire Supreme Court) and choose the new judges who take their place, it ran into the EU’s rules for membership. That’s why the EU is now close to stripping Poland of its voting rights until it restores the independence of the courts. If that doesn’t work, it could resort to financial measures as well. Poland is by far the biggest beneficiary of transfers from the EU budget to poorer member countries: in the budgetary period 20142020, it is scheduled to get $96 billion. Some or all of that money might stop coming if it were no longer a member in good standing. Nor can the Polish government plausibly threaten to quit the European Union: 75 percent of Poles see EU membership as a vital counter-balance to the looming presence of Russia to their east. The EU holds all the best cards in this game, if it chooses to play them. But will it? That is not clear. The EU is not famous for its willingness to take bold action, and it would have to overcome the opposition of Hungary, another ex-Communist EU member that also displays authoritarian tendencies. But the throngs of protesters in the streets of Polish cities deserve its support, and its own cohesion will suffer if it does not defend its fundamental values.

Editorial by Stephen Petrick A few weeks have passed since one of the most salacious stories of the year broke in our region; that Belleville Mayor Taso Christopher was found by a judge to have breached the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act. Now that emotions have died down, let’s analyze what it means. Municipal politics is more often than not as exciting as watching paint dry, so it seemed dramatic when Christopher, at the end of a recent council meeting, announced he had been “cleared” of charges under the act. He later told reporters “the ruling is in my favour.” Yet the ruling, delivered by Justice Timothy Ray in Kingston, didn’t exactly say it was “in his favour.” The judge acknowledged Christopher breached the act but it was as a result of an “error in judgement” and therefore he should not have to forfeit his seat. So Gary Davidson, the Taso-baiting local realtor who brought the application to court, didn’t turn out to be a winner in this either, as he wanted to see the mayor ousted. You’ve heard the term “win-win” situation. This seemed liked a “lose-lose.” What does this mean for Christopher? We won’t know until October 2018 municipal election (that is, should he decide to run again – he’s never spoken publicly about re-election intentions.) But, Christopher may have caused more damage to his reputation from the spin he put on the ruling than the very actions which brought him to court – at least that’s the feeling I get from following comments on social media and right from locals’ mouths. Davidson brought Christopher to court over his actions at an October 2016 budget meeting at which Christopher declared a conflict of interest when council debated whether to build a roundabout on Maitland Drive. The city would have to purchase land Christopher’s family owned at the time to build the roundabout. However, when it came time to vote on the issue the mayor did not remove himself and contributed to a successful 7-2 vote in favour of the project. So did Christopher do this simply to put our taxpayer money in his pocket? You’d have to be paranoid to think so. The roundabout is one aspect of a $12.5 million Build Belleville infrastructure project focusing

on the Mineral Road/Maitland Drive area – a heavy commercial and industrial area that’s seen growth in recent years. It’s not a heavily scrutinized project, because what taxpayer is going to oppose the city improving heavilytravelled roads? Also, one could also argue that Christopher’s endorsement of the project was a moot point anyway. Had he declined to vote, it still would have passed by a 6-2 count. However, being successful in politics has perhaps as much to do as how you’re perceived in public than the results you achieve. So the fact that Christopher hasn’t offered an “ah-shucksI-screwed-up” apology, may come to haunt him during election season. Or it may not. As another mayor in this region proves, it’s possible to steer away from much bigger controversies. Brighton Mayor Mark Walas is continuously under attack from a fraction of his community, who believe the third-term mayor performs the role as much to serve his business interests as a subdivision developer as the community itself. In May, Walas appealed a decision his own council made with the Ontario Municipal Board. It was regarding council’s disapproval for a sewer system for the Lakeside Landing subdivision he’s associated with. “I’m troubled by the fact that we have the mayor of Brighton issuing suit against the people of Brighton,” said Coun. Brian Ostrander at the time, summarizing the bad optics. In Walas’s previous term, his council was also subject to an Ontario Integrity Commissioner investigation, which led to a damning report, in which the commissioner flagged Walas for trying to fire the Chief Administrative Officer. The council term was also plagued by stories regarding employees feeling micro-managed and municipal email accounts being used inappropriately. Yet, despite the drama, Walas was successful in his bid for re-election in 2014, beating Mike Vandertoorn 3,143 to 2,229 in votes. What does this mean? The political world is full of drama and mayors will have opponents, who justifiably or not, want you gone. But the majority of voters see through the drama and accept that mayors are imperfect humans with personal interests, just like many of us. Either that, or they’re too busy to care.

Funding for seniors’ programming BY ERIN STEWART

Frankford — Year round gardening and seniors’ programing will soon become a reality for The Garden Place in Frankford. Neil Ellis, MP for the Bay of Quinte, announced on Thursday, July 27, that The Garden Place will receive $25,000 in New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP) funding. The funds will assist with the construction of a greenhouse so seniors can garden in any season. Deanna Groves, owner of The Garden Place landscaping company and Quinte Botanical Gardens, alongside her husband John Riedl, said she was dumbfounded that their 69-page application for the NHSP was approved for the highest amount the program provides. “We’re ever so grateful, the point for this project is winter gardening for seniors,” she said. “People love to have their hands in the ground and feel grounded, it reduces stress, it has maximum amounts of health benefits, mental and physical, it’s something that everybody can do.” Groves said the accessible green-

house will be built at the site of the Quinte Botanical Gardens and add to the seniors programing and socializing aspect of gardening. “They can come out, share their stories, share their experience, they’ve got immense gardening experience,” she said. “I think it will be a fun thing for seniors to get involved with and a proud thing.” Ellis congratulated Groves and Riedl on a successful application.

“When you look at our riding in general, we have one of the highest populations of seniors,” said Ellis. “As politicians and people in this community, we can learn a lot from seniors, it’s about keeping our seniors healthy.” The federal government will provide approximately $35 million in NHSP funding to assist with 1,850 community-based projects in 2016 to 2017.

Remembering Jennifer Boczylo Trenton — It’s been 15 years since the death of Jennifer Boczylo, and her family is inviting the public to attend a memorial event on Friday Aug. 4 in Fraser Park. Boczylo was 18 years old when she was murdered along the Trent River waterfront. To help keep her memory alive and promote awareness about the impact of violence on victims of crimes, her mother Charlotte Irvine, father John Boczylo and siblings Heather and Justin Boczylo will mark the 15th anniversary of her death with a night of music, food and a vigil walk along the waterfront to the memorial bench in Boczylo’s name. “This year marks 15 years since Jennifer’s life was taken from us. Please help us celebrate the beautiful young woman that she was and show everyone we will never forget her,” said Charlotte Irvine. “As her memory lives on in our hearts, we would like everyone to join us as we celebrate and remember Jennifer.”

Any donations collected during the evening will be directed toward Victims Services, the provincial agency which helped the Boczylo family throughout the days, months and years following the tragedy. “We want to pay it forward to those who helped our family during that very trying time and this gesture is one way of saying thank you,” said Heather Boczylo. Following the death of Jennifer in 2002, funds were raised by Coun. Duncan Armstrong and Pat Clark who organized a rock concert to help offset funeral costs and because of their prior involvement, both Armstrong and Clark were approached by the Boczylo family to organize the memorial event. With the support of the downtown business improvement association, they arranged to dedicate the Friday evening, Aug. 4 Concert in the Park performance by El Camino in Jennifer’s memory, from 6-8 p.m. Tom Kotsovos, owner of

Tomasso’s Italian Grille, used to coach Boczylo in soccer and, along with sons Michael, Andrew and Mark, will donate pizza for the event. During the concert, a display about Jennifer will be on site along with information about the role of Victims Services. Green ribbons will be handed out to those in attendance, green was Jennifer’s favourite colour, and attendees are encouraged to wear green to the event. Following the concert, the family is inviting the public to join them in a vigil walk along the waterfront to Jennifer’s memorial bench, which is located along the Trent River shoreline behind the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce. A brief sunset service will be held following the walk with Gail Conrick assisting with the sunset service.

CFB Trenton gets a sneak peek of new search and rescue planes BY MAKALA CHAPMAN

CFB Trenton – During a world tour meant to showcase the C-295 airplanes, the Brazilian Air Force (BAF) made a special stop at CFB Trenton. Military personnel at 8 Wing got the chance to get up close and personal with the new aircrafts set to replace the currently aged transport and rescue planes. The BAF also made stops at Royal Canadian Air Force bases (RCAF), 19 Wing Comox, British Columbia and 17 Wing Winnipeg, Manitoba. It was last December that Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan unveiled the government’s plans to purchase 16 C-295W, which are scheduled to arrive in 2019. The new planes are set to replace the RCAF’s six CC-115 Buffalos, as well as the legacy CC-130H Hercules, which first entered service in Canada in 1960. The CC-130H Hercules is a four-engine aircraft that is used widely by the military for things like transporting troops, delivering cargo, search and rescue missions and more. The contract for the aircrafts was awarded to European aerospace giant, Airbus Defence and

Space, for a total of $2.4 billion. The price tag could go up to as much as $4.7 billion if Canada decides to purchase an extra 15 years of maintenance and support service for the state-of-theart fleet. But 8 Wing’s new commander, Col. Mark Goulden, said while he is looking forward to the new aircrafts, he has to give credit to the CC-130H for its years of service to Canada. “That airplane is old and it’s tired,” he said, “but it did a great service for us for many, many years in the worst of conditions for generations.” As for the C-295W, which will come in bright yellow, Col. Goulden said it would be a “game changer” for the RCAF. “It will (provide) that essential search and rescue service to Canadians that they have grown to expect,” he said. “I think we’re going to be able to provide an even better service with this new aircraft.” Warrant Officer Aaron Bygrod, with 8 Wing’s 424 Squadron, said he was looking forward to the arrival of the C-295W and that the feeling was comparable to getting a new car. He further explained that

8 Wing Commander Col. Mark Goulden says he’s looking forward to welcoming the new C-295 aircrafts. Makala Chapman/Metroland

SurNet members of 424 Squadron are deployed on various search and rescue missions, such as locating vessels and people, and that the right tools to do the job was critical. “When I see this, I see a new tool to do my job,” said Bygrod. “If we can make it more efficient, more strategic, and make it faster to just help someone, I’m happy with it.” Bygrod also noted that the airplanes would be a welcomed addition to a squadron that already has been operating at peak performance. “424 Squadron is committed to what we do and we love our goal, which is directly helping Canadians,” he said. “It’s what motivates us and brings us into work everyday.”

He then jokingly added that the planes would look even better in orange, instead of yellow, so that they would match his uniform. In a written statement issued by National Defence, Sajjan noted that he was looking forward to the arrival of Canada’s own C-295 aircrafts. “We are committed to ensuring that the women and men who serve Canada have the equipment and training they need in order to fulfill these key missions,” he said, adding that search and rescue mission were a top priority in the Canadian Armed Forces. Representatives with Airbus Defence and Space were also on hand at CFB Trenton and noted that production of Canada’s C295W have already begun.

New book a tribute to Canada’s team in support of Wounded Warriors BY ERIN STEWART

Quinte West — Renowned Quinte West artist Doug Comeau and business partner Jim Leonard have collaborated on a new project — Outstanding in the Field: A Tribute to Canada’s Team. Outstanding in the Field captures the heart and soul of Canada’s baseball team the Toronto Blue Jays through images representing nine innings. Comeau created the artwork with graphite or coloured pencil, using photographs for reference. All of the blue jays were photographed in the exact position shown and all of the subject matter has been created as close to real life as possible. Comeau said his daughter Jaclyn gave him the idea to draw blue jays and, as a big baseball fan himself, he said right away he had the idea to create blue jays and baseball together. “You can’t get much more Canadian than the Blue Jays, that’s for sure, there’s only one baseball team in Canada at the professional level so it unites everybody,” he said. Leonard and Comeau then joined forces, working together to create Stirring Images to take the blue jays and baseball concept to another level and bring Outstanding in the Field: A Tribute to Canada’s Team to life. “The concept of the book is the full story of the Blue Jays series, under he umbrella of Stirring Images,” said Comeau.

“It’s built on the concept of a baseball game, the first inning to the last, and the beginning of baseball such as the farm team they draw from, spring training in Dunedin, all the way through the different aspects of baseball.” After founding Stirring Images, the pair pledged to donate a percentage of all sales to Wounded Warriors Canada. Both Canadian Forces Veterans, Leonard said donating profits from Stirring Images is way for them to continue to give back and support the Canadian Armed Forces and veterans. “Doug and I both finished our careers without suffering some of the serious injuries that our friends have been afflicted with, both the seen and unseen type of injuries that prevent them from living regular lives,” said Leonard, CEO of Stirring Images. Many of their friends afflicted with injuries from their time spent in the military are now direct recipients of the care provided by Wounded Warriors Canada, a Veteran’s charity focusing on mental health to change the lives of ill and injured veterans, first responders and their families. “We believe strongly that if you can help you should, especially for those that can’t do for themselves, so we created this company specifically with the intent to raise funds from the sale of our artwork to Wounded Warriors,” he said. “We built it into our constitution, so for-

ever a percentage will go from every sale we make.” Leonard and Comeau hope this example will raise awareness and financial support for the people who suffer daily as a result of their service to Canada. The response has been incredible, said Comeau, with the official book launch at Hillier Creek Estates and Winery over the weekend, July 29-30. Outstanding in the Field: A Tribute to Canada’s Team can be purchased for $125 through stirringimages.com. Single pieces of the artwork can also be purchased in different sizes, ranging in price from $50 to $150.

Local film crew wants Bigfoot to come out of hiding BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – When The Woodsmen gets made, Bigfoot won’t be blurry. That’s the promise of Victor Cooper, the local director who’s on a mission to make the next great Bigfoot film. Cooper, a producer at Belleville’s renowned business, Vantage Point Media House, has launched a Kickstarter campaign to make a short film called The Woodsmen for fans of the horror genre. At the top of the website he writes, “You deserve a kickass Bigfoot Film. No found footage, no blurry Bigfoot. This is Bigfoot in all his glory. Best of all it will be FREE!” In an interview to discuss the project, he said horror film fans are often disappointed with Bigfoot-themed movies. “You don’t ever get to see Bigfoot. He’s given almost no face time in movies … When you see him you’re always disappointed.” So he and his team plan to make a Bigfoot front and centre in the film. Victor Cooper of Vantage Point Media is getting ready to film The Woodsmen. Stephen Petrick/Metroland They’ve already got a costume ready, made by Hamilton-based company The Butcher Shop FX Studio.

They also expect to soon announce their “stretch goals” for the project, such as when they hope to build a set, and when they expect to hire a composer for a musical score. As for the filming, Cooper hopes to start shooting around Oct. 10 in a woods outside of Belleville. He hopes to release the film on a free platform in late December of early 2018. And he’s grateful to those who’ve put down money already. He said the film marks his first foray into crowdfunding “but it’s been ridiculously successful.” He’s learned that when a group tries crowdfunding, they’re not just raising funds. “You’re raising an audience,” he said. “Now they’re invested. They put their hard-earned cash into it.” He said he was psyched recently when he saw someone pledge just $1. It showed that that person didn’t have a lot of money but “they wanted to help anyway. That put a huge smile on my face.” Cooper said the film will probably require a week’s worth of shooting. The film will probably be 13 to 15 minutes in length. He envisions it being the first of a mini-series, but he doesn’t want to get too ahead of himself and knows he has to focus on getting the first one done. As for the profit margin; he’s expecting zero. “We’ll continue to be poor starving artists, but it’s definitely gratifying,” he said. “It’s a tonne of work but it’s fun.” To find the project’s website do a Google search under “Kickstarter and The Woodsmen.”

lights out here. The area is preparing for an influx of tourists for the big event, so a special website has been set up for the occasion: http://carhengesolareclipse2017. com. A number of campsites have been added in the area, and several special events have been planned, including educational workshops, family-friendly activities, and live music. There’ll also be lots of food available. Souvenir solar viewing sunglasses may be purchased, too. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, obscuring the image of the Sun for us earthlings. A total solar eclipse, which is rarer, occurs when the Moon’s diameter appears larger than the Sun’s diameter, blocking all direct sunlight. Therefore, the spectator can actually witness the Sun going dark! A partial eclipse will be seen throughout much of the country that day, but a total solar eclipse can only be seen in the eclipse path itself. According to the aforementioned website, that makes Carhenge the place to be: “A partial eclipse is like standing outside the restaurant smelling the steak on the grill – while a TOTAL ECLIPSE is like actually eating the Nebraska beef!” Alliance is about a 4 hour drive north of Denver, Colorado and about 2 1/2 hours south of Rapid City, South Dakota. If you’re thinking of going to this unique event, Alliance is advising visitors “to be in place prior to Sunday night to avoid traffic congestion. Come in early, relax and enjoy the weekend’s festivities and all that Alliance has to offer.” I’d recommend getting there in time to visit Alliance’s Knight Museum and Sandhills Centre, for this is a great place to get an overview of Nebraska’s Sandhills region. I’d also plan to enjoy more of the area, either before or after this unique opportunity to get “mooned” in Carhenge. In particular, I’d recommend checking out part of the old Oregon Trail, for it led pioneers out west (via wagons drawn by oxen or mules). I’d certainly recommend a stop at both Scotts Bluff National Monument and Chimney Rock National Historic Site.

On my recent visit to western Nebraska, one of my favourite points of interest was Carhenge. This rather quirky, entertaining replica of England’s Stonehenge is located just north of Alliance and is designed by Jim Reinders. The artist intended it as a lasting memorial to his dad, who had once lived on a farm where Carhenge now stands. It’s free to visit, but donations are encouraged. While living in England, Jim had studied the design of Stonehenge, and he used old cars, primarily from the 1950s and 1960s, to replicate this creation in Nebraska (in 1987). Some of these cars (that are approximately 7 feet in width) are planted trunk down and raise, like monoliths, 15 to 17 feet – the same as the standing stones of Stonehenge. Other cars have been welded together and form the arches. All have been covered in gray spray paint (to make it look more like the original). The entire creation has been built to scale (with a 96-foot diameter), and to depict Stonehenge in its modern, dilapidated state. All 38 of the major stones found at Stonehenge are represented here at Carhenge. Other car sculptures have been added to this 10 acre site that’s known as the “Car Art Reserve”, and one of the first was entitled “Spawning Salmon”, which was designed by a Canadian: 29 year old Geoff Sandhurst (of Calgary); his metal piece took first prize in the Friends of Carhenge sculpture contest. But my favourite addition had to be Reinder’s very own “Fourd Seasons” in which he uses Fords to suggest Nebraska’s changing landscape in its 4 seasons. The coloured, planted Fords represent the green, new shoots of spring, the golden wheat maturing in the summer, the autumn harvesting, and the white, snow-covered field of winter. This unusual art form and pop culture icon attracts a lot of tourists – and it will probably get much busier than normal there this August. As you may already know, there will be a total solar eclipse on August 21, and it’s expected that this will be one of the very best spots from which to view it. After all, Alliance is located directly in the centre of the eclipse path, and since this part of the state is dominated by treeless prairies and crop fields, you’ll find little interference to your viewing pleasure! You won’t find a plethora of towering skyscrapers and big city

Historic Ranney Falls powerhouse replacement project is ‘going well’ BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford – Ontario Power Generation is in the process of replacing the “Pup” at the Ranney Falls Generating Station. It’s the smallest of the two powerhouses, containing a .8 megawatt (MW) unit, which reached the end of its life in 2014 after being in service since 1926. The main powerhouse has two units, each 4.8 MW. The expansion now underway will see a more powerful and efficient 10 MW unit installed in a new building, which will increase the amount of renewable

energy produced at Ranney Falls to 20 MW, capable of serving an additional 10,000 homes. It will also help displace the equivalent of 28,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions, says Ontario Power Generation. Construction began in March and is expected to continue until the winter of 2018. The forebay and tailrace channels are being expanded to accommodate the new powerhouse. A new spillway will also be constructed to bypass the full flow of water to the generating station to the tailrace channel for emergency situations. “Things are going well,” said Neal

COACH & TOURS

Kelly, director of media, issues and information management with OPG. About 30 people are currently employed at the site and their number will increase when the civil contractor begins pouring concrete early in the fall. Parks Canada and Trent Hills “are monitoring the work and issuing the applied for permits when required,” Kelly said. The new powerhouse is expected to be in operation by the end of 2019. Kelly said a community event is planned for September to inform the public about the work that is being done and the reasons for it.

Tweed man pierced by arrow

Police recover body of Corbyville man, 47 Mazinaw - One month after he vanished beneath the waters of deep Mazinaw Lake at Bon Echo, police said they recovered the body of Corbyville man Rich Meeboer, 47. A post-mortem investigation determined Meebower drowned while trying to rescue a swimmer in distress on Mazinaw June 24. Witnesses said Meeboer dove from his own boat to help the girl, who survived the incident. However, Meeboer sank beneath the water and was lost in the deep Mazinaw. OPP dive efforts to locate his body had been foiled until last week. Using sonar and robotics, police searched a different area of the lake beginning Monday and reported they found Meeboer Tuesday afternoon. A Facebook message posted by wife, Lori Meeboer, posted Tuesday, July 25, read, in part: “Thank you everyone for your hopes, prayers, wishes and thoughts. Rich has been recovered. We are so thankful tonight that we will be able to bring him home. There is a long road of grief ahead of us, but now we are able to have him home. I love you Baby.” A crowd-funding campaign has begun to help the family. Details can be found here: https://www.gofundme.com/RichMeeboer Lori Meeboer posted on social media last week. “The Children’s Foundation of Belleville has informed me today that two children, ages 6 and 8 were sent to camp this summer in memory of Rich. He would love that,” she said. The family were support volunteers with the Children’s Foundation.

Flasher arrested, say Belleville police Belleville - A Belleville man has been released from custody following his arrest Monday for an indecent exposure incident in the city’s West Hill neighbourhood. Last Sunday morning, July 30, at 11:15 a.m. a woman told city police she was walking north on Coleman Street nearing Harriett Street when she “observed a man walking towards her. The man had his genitals exposed as he walked past her. The man did not speak to the woman.” Police said they began an investigation and “received assistance from the public which included the incident being captured on video surveillance from a nearby location.”

The location was not revealed by police. After processing and reviewing the video, police were able to capture images of the suspect. These images were distributed to officers to be on the lookout for the man. On Monday, an off-duty Belleville police officer, who had recently reviewed the images observed the same male at a local business on North Front Street. As a result, “uniformed officers attended and arrested the man for the indecent act.” The male was identified as Todd Andrew Brown, 51, of Belleville. Brown was released on a promise to appear in court.

Entrepreneurs In Action: DOGGIE DETAILING Love of the work gets clients tails wagging

“You can’t fake passion” shares Barbara Corcoran, millionaire Shark Tank investor. “The same three qualities exist in every successful entrepreneur: passion, high energy and thankfulness”. Meet Heather Boyd. Heather is an award-winning Certified Professional Groomer and the owner of Doggie Detailing. She lights up when she talks about her clients – the ones on the grooming table as well as their human companions.

Trenval Business Development Corporation was created in 1987 by the Federal Government to support small business and aspiring entrepreneurs. They grow our local economy by lending funds to small business and managing grant programs. Congratulations to this Trenval client and successful Entrepreneur in Action!

START!

She expanded to a new 1100 sq. ft. storefront at 391 Dundas St W in Trenton to better meet customer needs and within weeks, word spread and her team are now booking a month in advance. Doggie Detailing’s new digs are flooded with natural light, music, and their four-legged guests are spoken to in sweet tones and baby talk. Happy, freshly groomed companions greet their owners wearing a colourful bandana or feather adornment. These niceties matter. All staff are certified vet assistants, highly trained in grooming (one

specializing in cat grooming) and award winners. All staff have ongoing training and Heather plans to bring industry professionals in for skill building sessions. “We don’t just shave dogs – we style them.” Being top in their field by mastering new techniques and studying emerging trends such as the popular Asian style, shows the commitment of the team to offer great service. Staff answers questions, share pictures and video’s while offering advice on their popular Facebook page. Clients can book an appointment online through FB or www.doggie-detailing.ca – what a customer friendly business! The larger location allows Heather to stock quality food and snacks. Groomers see the dry skin, ear infections and other consequences of poor diets or allergies. Heather has seen the difference raw food diets have made with her own animals and is quick to share her experiences. “Raw food is not simply ‘raw food’ and its not for old dogs or big dogs – its for all dogs.”

Doggie Detailing offers two food brands that Heather researched and feeds her own pets. She has found local snack makers that provide grain free pet treats and has managed to keep the costs down. Her line of accessories continues to grow, she promotes a local pet portrait artist and provides an outlet for unique local pet items. Her passion will only expand this business into new areas that serve our pet adoring community. Trenval Business Development enjoys working with clients that possess the ‘passion, high energy and thankfulness’ traits. Heather was referred to Trenval by another local business and feels “Trenval is so much more than a business financing option; they are helpful and organized.” Steve Jobs, Apple Founder, mirrored Corcoran’s belief: “The ONLY way to do great work, is to love what you do”. Heather Boyd’s love of what she does is a gift to our local community. The Board and Staff of Trenval congratulate Heather Boyd and are proud to have been a part of this success story!

The Good Earth

Bouquets for Everyone

By Dan Clost Our granddaughter, with help from her parents, hosted a house-warming party this past weekend. It was our privilege to collect some cut flowers to make bouquets. Many Gentle Readers are aware that I have a slight over other cut-flower gatherers. My work place happens to be a landscape supply nursery with four acres of choices. My only real challenge is to selectively remove a stem or scape without affecting the saleability of the plant. My only limitations are my imagination. Our cut-flower gathering party headed out to the nursery in the early hours of the evening. Many experts say that the best time to harvest flowers is in the morning after they have had their daily uptake of fluids. Practicality says the best time to perform such a task ¬– in fact any gardening task will fit here – is when you have the time to do it. If evening is your time, then evening is when you do it. We had two arrangements in mind. The first was a large outdoor collection that would repose in a relatively small farmer’s cream can; a two foot tall cylinder holding about one and a half gallons of water. The second was meant for the buffet table. The first needed large flowers with lots of visual oomph (technical horticultural term meaning people will see something and say, “Wow!”) The second, in my mind, required a bit more diversity and some intrigue in accordance with the expectation of the viewer’s knowledge of my day job. That’s not always an easy thing to do, GR. For some strange reason, a nice grouping of daylilies, coneflowers and a fern frond or two does not satisfy some folks. They’re looking for a flower which they cannot identify or one that is not easily available to them. (No, I did not go into the tropical house and nip a few orchids.) For large outdoor arrangements, few plants are more accommodating than hydrangeas. GR, I’ll use only common names to save word space. In the cream can, we slipped a few giant Incrediballs as the anchor, then added Berlin, B8 Section B - Thursday, August 3, 2017

Bloomstruck, Limelight, Invincible Spirit, Pink Beauty, Blushing Bride and Wedding Ring. Tall panicles of Russian Sage were scattered throughout with several much taller groups of matureseeded Karl Foerster grass re-accentuate the narrow cylinder at the top end. A bit of greenery and very contrasting texture was achieved with un-opened Autumn Joy sedum fringing the lip. We used that many different hydrangeas because, truly, we could. A very effective arrangement, in the same container, could be accomplished with Annabelles (the most common white-flowering hydrangea) and any “spike” from grass to dracaena to a dark-leafed ninebark. The little glass vase was the “funnest.” One way to incorporate a lot of different flower colours and shapes is to think in threes. We used three carmine coloured lobelia as the tall centre bit. Holding them in one hand, we added three Tomato Soup cone-flowers at a slightly lower level. The bouquet was turned slightly and three Thomas Killen shastas were included. Another turn and three Supreme Cantaloupe cones slipped in. Continuing in the same manner, Raspberry Tart, Banana Cream, Tangerine Dream, and Aglaia were combined into the mix. For frilly interest bits peeking through the solid flower heads we inserted Fanal and Younique astilbes, and then added three stems of bright yellow Rocket ligularia to contrast the lobelia. Finishing up, purple Gayfeather, Karl Foerster grass, Elegans hosta were supported by a bottom circle of the dwarf Venice hydrangea. By using minigroups of three throughout the arrangement, the viewer has time to enjoy each variety before being drawn to the next. When every bloom is different the effect can be strikingly effective but also difficult to appreciate each flower as an individual. Creating bouquets are fun but gifting them is even more rewarding.

Turtles a hit at conservation presentation BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford — A couple of live turtles from the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre were the highlight of a special presentation hosted by Friends of Ferris (FofF) at the park on Saturday, July 29. “Friends of Ferris promotes the park, but is also involved with bringing in events to educate. This is a perfect example, and to see the kids’ faces light up when the live turtles were presented was so worth our efforts. Paddy the snapping turtle was amazing,” said Barb Hogan, president of the very active non-profit group of volunteers. She and other board members were on hand for the event, which attracted about 80 people, including dozens of children, who wanted to learn more about this reptile. “And the work of the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre is remarkable, and we are so fortunate to have them so close as they take turtles province wide,” she added. The centre, formerly known as the Kawartha Turtle Trauma Centre, is located in Peterborough and is a hospital for injured turtles. The centre’s main speaker was Wendy Braggs, education and outreach co-ordinator.

Her assistant was Hilary Winstanley. Together they talked about how seven of the eight species of turtles in Ontario are at risk. “Our turtles are endangered ... there’s different levels from special concern to threatened to endangered,” said Braggs. A couple of the species are hovering on the edge of being extinct. The only one not yet at risk is the Midland painted turtle. “Of all the injured turtles we get in at the centre, this (Midland painted) turtle is by far the most amount.” said Braggs. “In southern Ontario, we have lost 75 per cent of the wetlands ... it’s extremely important we save the remaining 25 per cent ... water levels and climate change are really affecting our turtles.” The presentation was so wellreceived that FofF hopes to bring the centre back again next year. For FofF, the goal now is to increase membership. “Our numbers are down and we need support to continue these great events,” Hogan commented.

Their next event is the ever-popular and longtime favourite dry stonewall workshop, which will take place on Saturday, Aug. 26. For more information on FofF and their projects visit http://www.friendsofferris.ca/friends.html.
