Consecon Community Day full of festivities By Erin Stewart Consecon – The village of Consecon bustled with residents and visitors as the community celebrated Consecon Community Day with numerous activities on Saturday July 30. Adam Miller, from Belleville, brought his 5–yearold son to Consecon Day for their first time after seeing the event online. “We wanted to see the fire trucks and we came down, the main attraction was the soap box derby,” said Miller. “It’s been a lot of fun, they do pretty well, for a small town it’s nice to see everyone out.” Miller said the Prince Edward County Fire Department was more than accommodating with showing the kids everything, something he said his son really enjoyed. James Corkill, 13, took part in the popular soap box derby for his second year. From Curtis, Corkill said he travels with his family to their trailer in Consecon and Gavin Miller, 5, sits on top of the Prince Edward County Fire Department’s new ladder truck on display during Consecon Community Day on Saturday July 30.

“Last year I went into the derby just as a speed run and this year I’m racing, it’s just for fun,” he said. “It’s fun because I like being with my family and racing with friends.” Nick Nowitski, soap box derby organizer and president of the Consecon CARA, said they had around 40 participants at this year’s 6th annual soap box derby. “It’s been great, we’ve got a lot of cars, a lot of really nice and fast cars,” he said. “Everyone seems to be having fun.” Nowitski said the kids love it and everyone is given a participation medal and a coupon for a free ice cream cone. This year they had 12 trophies to give out, including trophies for best appearing car and fastest time. People travelled a fair distance to partake in the event. “They’ve come a good distance, we’ve got people from near Peterborough, Spencerville, Kingston, and Courtice,” said Nowitski. “And this is just a fun event, it’s all friendly Continued on Page 4

competition. Bill Kemp, owner of Emm’s Restaurant, has been a lifelong resident of Consecon and was one of the community members who came together with a group to start Consecon Community Day. “It just took off from there,” he said. “It’s important to get involved with the community and keep things active, everybody gets involved in some way.” Kemp said there is something for everyone during the full day of activities. Starting with an all you can eat pancake breakfast, the day included an all day yard sale, displays from the fire

The festivities filled event concluded with the Consecon Legion’s pig roast dinner and the well-attended street dance on Mill Street featuring classic rock. “It’s been a huge success and we can’t do it without the help and the volunteers, that’s what makes it such a huge success,” said Kemp. “We will do it again next year and keep doing it.” Dan Bakker, Wellington

the stuff that we have but it’s what we need to do our job.” This year the Prince Edward County Fire Department brought their brand new ladder truck to show off at the event, featuring the ladder with a reach of 107 feet, twice the reach of their old truck. Bakker said the Prince Edward County Fire Department will definitely be back next year.

OPINION

The US and Russia agree on Syria

Great states hate to admit error, so when they have to change course they generally try to disguise the fact. That’s why you may not have heard much about the way that the United States has changed course in Syria in the past three months. You will recall how Gwynne Dyer Washington insisted for years that it was determined to see the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian dictator, and was at the same time working to destroy his mortal enemy, Islamic State – without, of course, committing any US ground troops to Syria. You may also recall how the US government regularly and vehemently condemned Russia’s military intervention in Syria last year. Well, that’s all over now. Two weeks ago, US Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov met in Moscow and agreed to take “concrete steps” together in Syria. These included co-ordinating air strikes against both Islamic State and the Nusra Front, the two Islamist offspring of alQaeda that dominate the rebel forces in Syria. Russia is the Assad regime’s main ally in the Syrian civil war. By agreeing to these co-ordinated “concrete steps” against Assad’s main domestic enemies, Washington is effectively conceding that it now wants him to survive. Assad, it has finally recognised, is the lesser evil compared to a take-over of all of Syria by the Islamist fanatics. It has taken five years to get here. The United States bombs Islamic State forces every day, but when IS troops advanced to seize Palmyra last year, no American bombs fell on the vehicles that took the IS fighters across the desert to the historic city. That would have been “helping Assad” – and so the US let Palmyra be captured and trashed by the fanatics. (Assad’s troops took Palmyra back last March – with Russian air support.) The Obama administration fell into this now obviously hopeless strategy back in the days of the “Arab Spring” in 2010-11. Like most people, Obama was convinced that the Assad regime would fall quickly, and that the government that replaced him would be better both for American interests and for the Syrian people. It was, after all, a brutal and corrupt regime. It still is. As the opposition fell increasingly into the

hands of Islamist extremists in 2012-13, the prospect of a peaceful, democratic successor regime vanished. But rather than biting the bullet and switching its support to Assad, the lesser evil, Washington embarked on a forlorn attempt to build a “third force” that would defeat both Assad and the Islamists. It spent billions on the project, but never produced a credible fighting force that could accomplish that miracle. Governments do not easily admit error, so right down to late last year Washington clung to the illusion that somehow or other it could avoid having to choose between Assad and the Islamists. Now it has accepted that necessity, and the deal with Lavrov clearly signals that the United States now wants Assad to survive. It still won’t say that, of course, but bombing both Islamic State and the Nusra Front means that it will effectively be bombing the great majority of the Syrian rebels. There are still some non-Islamist rebels fighting Assad in the Free Syrian Army, but most elements of the FSA have been coerced into joining the Nusra Front in an unequal alliance called the “Army of Islam”. The Nusra Front created this alliance specifically to ward off American bombs by wrapping non-Islamist groups around itself. It worked for a while, although Russia was never fooled and has bombed them all without discrimination since it intervened militarily last September. Now the US has signed up to bomb them too. The Nusra Front’s leader, Abu Mohamed alJulani, responded last week by breaking his organisation’s formal ties with al-Qaeda and changing its name, but that will not stop the bombs. The Nusra Front does not indulge in the spectacular acts of cruelty that are Islamic State’s trademark, but they both come out of al-Qaeda and in terms of ideology and goals they are practically identical. Washington is not fooled. The Obama administration has at least learned from its mistakes, and this de facto US-Russian alliance may actually have the power to weaken the Islamist forces drastically and impose a real ceasefire on everybody else. Syria will not be reunited under Assad or anybody else, but at least most of the killing would stop. Unfortunately, if this approach does not deliver results in the next five months it is likely to be abandoned. Hillary Clinton seems committed to going back to the old, discredited “third force” strategy if she wins the presidency in November, which would mean years more of killing. And If Trump wins …

Editorial - Stephen Petrick The United States of America is an amazing country. It’s a place with beautiful cities and states. Its powerful economy has fostered incredible innovators, who’ve graduated from its world-renowned colleges. We’ve all worshiped American athletes and artists and if you’re like me, you’ve probably had several great American friends in your lifetime. I feel it’s important to remember this as I say what probably most Canadians are thinking: “What the f$#@ is happening in America?” Eight years after America elected its first African-American president, who brought with him messages of peace and hope for a less racist, more tolerant America, the United States is metaphorically burning in flames. You’ve all seen the headlines generated from recent news events south of the border; innocent people are being killed by police, innocent police officers are being killed by deranged people, and people are being targeted and killed seemingly because of their sexuality or the colour of their skin. It would be great if these massacres led to nothing but a stronger, more united America, determined to seek peace and intelligent thought. Nope. All the violence segued nicely into the gong show that was the recent Republican National Convention in Cleveland, where Donald Trump won the party’s nomination to run for president in November. The RNC was kind of like a gathering of fearmongering American loud-mouths; a place where yelling was the chosen form of communication (see Rudy Giuliani) and a place where someone who should be a fringe candidate – really, Trump thinks he can build a wall on the south Texas border and make Mexico pay – is promoted, and even celebrated. The more recent Democratic National Convention had promise to be a little more articulate. But it couldn’t escape the zany headlines, as a group that was supporting Bernie Sanders held protests outside the convention in Philadelphia, saying they favoured him over Hillary Clinton, who was about to officially win the party’s nomination to run for president. With three full months to go before the election who knows what will happen next? With all of the craziness, it’s easy to forget that there are about 319 million people in the

United States. The vast, vast majority of these are good people who are saddened by recent events and maybe some are even embarrassed by the bombastic nature of American politics. Most are intelligent enough to see the obvious; Trump is an egotistical businessman who needs money to hide his insecurities. He also has a bullyish personality and a well-documented history of being a chauvinist. And while his campaign team insists he’s not a racist, he doesn’t get multi-culturalism or world politics. His call to ban all Muslims from entering the United States is ignorant and discriminatory and he recently referred to a black man at one of his campaign rallies as “my African-American,” clearly oblivious to the sensitive racial history of his own country. Most Americans won’t vote for him. But if you’re as scared as me about the thought of a Trump presidency, here’s something to keep you up at night: Most Americans did not vote for George W. Bush either in the 2000 election and somehow he got in. Al Gore won just short of 51 million votes that year, up from Dubya’s total of about 50.5 million. Yet, American’s interesting electoral system, where candidates compete for the popular vote in all 50 states and different states count for a different numbers of electoral votes, makes it possible for an American president to be elected without wining the majority of the vote. And, in American, party affiliation is kind of like religion. In many middle-America “red states” the majority of voters will always vote Republican, simply because they always have. And if recent history is any indication, American will go red again this fall. Since Bill Clinton’s upset of incumbent George H. W. Bush in 1992, America has a trend of going eight years with a Democratic president, followed by eight years of a Republican. If that continues Donald Trump will be in the White House soon, much to (I’m assuming here) most Canadians chagrin. If that happens, let’s remind ourselves, again, that America is a great country, full of great cities, great innovators, great athletes, artists and everyday people. Or, to paraphrase using American slang, “don’t hate the players, just hate the game.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Trade deals, what they really mean

Dear Editor, Canada has been at the front of trade deals with any national leader capable of holding a pen. You win some and lose some. Korea gained, our exports went down. But then these have little to do with trade as the softwood lumber fight with the USA has shown, still going on for decades after the first “free trade” agreement. A piece on the Guardian website spelled it out. It’s about how we sign away the right to set out own laws, or counter the excess of corporate power. The article covered the lawsuit by big tobacco against the country of Uruguay. As pointed out, once a company sues a country, the best hope for the people is that the company will lose. A country cannot sue a company because that right is given up under these trade deals. A quote by a Spanish lawyer says it all: “It never ceases to amaze me that

sovereign countries have agreed to investment arbitration at all. Three private individuals are entrusted with the power to review, without any restriction or appeal procedure, all actions of the government, all decisions of the courts, and all laws and regulations emanating from parliament.” All the democracy touted here means diddly when three corporate lawyers (paid $1000 each per hour) sit down and decide who wins. There are currently 700 of these tribunals around the globe and they can only increase as more “trade deals” are signed. So why do we go to the polls and elect our governments again? I could get into the yearlong two-ring circus south of the border. Enough to say for the sole global superpower, is this the best you can come up with? Paul Whittaker, Gilmour

Stirling-Rawdon Library gets no respect Dear Editor, I am writing to personally thank you for your editorial in the Thursday, July 28 Metroland Media newspaper. My decision to resign from the Stirling-Rawdon Library Board was not taken lightly. My main concern was that after my departure, there would be no one left to take a stand against the apparent intentions of the municipality. At our budget meeting in December, 2014, there were various suggestions made on how to save money. Unbelievably, one of the suggestions was to let all the staff go and bring in minimum wage workers (with the suggestion by one councillor that they would be able to re-apply at the lower wage). This only highlights the apparent inability of this municipal council to fathom what the Stirling-Rawdon Public Library brings to this community and its citizens. It’s easy to state when running for election that you are a library supporter, but actions speak louder than words and the actions of this council towards the library and its staff are beyond deplorable. At the July 12th meeting, the chair had to be shamed by a patron into saying anything positive about my 12 years on the board, and it took a second request to actually have him say those two words; while Councilor Mullin stated that they would “send me a certificate.” So it was with no little amusement that on my 70th birthday this week I received a letter that in part read; “Your tireless efforts in ensuring our

community was not only aware of the Library and its programming, but also its fundraising goals makes you an inspiration to the next generation of volunteers.” After the past 18 months, I felt like I was in some kind of altered universe, still do. With one councillor on the board being overheard last summer saying, “I don’t know why we even need a library” and the other telling me personally that their job descriptions are “pure myth” and then the mayor telling myself and the CEO at the above-mentioned budget meeting, that milking a cow is harder than administering a library, I knew we were in for an uphill battle. It’s time for a change of attitude all around. I have forced myself to go to meetings month after month, listening to the CEO (and myself) being verbally abused and falsely accused. That is why I felt I had no choice but to leave. Now it is up to the community and the more than 3,000 patrons who make use of this library and bring their business to this community while in town, to take over. If (God forbid) this library closes, there will be even less reason for people to come to Stirling. The library needs proper funding; it needs to be shown respect for the staff and board members and most of all it needs a council that appreciates the 111 year old Jewel it has in its midst. It’s been a very long and dark 18 months. Now it is time for younger, hardier souls to take up this challenge. Denyse Mouck, Stirling

A proposal to have one of the centres of excellence located at Trenton Memorial Hospital (TMH) was submitted to Veterans Affairs Minister Kent Hehr three months ago through the committee, which includes Ellis, fellow MPs Kim Rudd and Mike Bossio, MPP Lou Rinaldi and Tamara Kleinschmidt, executive director of the Military Family Recourse Centre. “We have submitted a proposal to the minister to say ‘when you’re considering these facilities, we have room at Trenton Memorial Hospital’ if this area met the criteria of one of the clinics that the federal government is going to open,” said Ellis. The 2015 federal election platform included two centres of excellence, one on the east and one in the west. One will be for physical injuries and

another for mental health. Ellis said the centres were not budgeted for 2016 but they are in the Minister’s mandate letter to complete within four years. “Right now it’s going through the planning system,” said Ellis. “There are lots of interconnecting and complicated issues that we as government are working through with veterans and stakeholders.” Ellis, also chair of the federal government’s Veterans Standing Committee, said there really haven’t been any new updates since the committee submitted their proposal to support the centre at TMH three months ago. “We have a standalone building, we could get moving on this very quickly rather than build a new building,” he said. “It would be great for the veterans of this area to have it here.” As far as he is aware, Ellis said the proposal for Trenton Memorial Hospital is the only one that has been tabled at this time. Above all, Ellis said the government has to see what the veterans want. “As government I am confident that we will open two centres, that they

Improve recycling habits to Green the Greenbelt By Erin Stewart Trenton – Lower Trent Conservation and Quinte Waste Solutions are asking Quinte West residents located close to the Trenton Greenbelt Conservation Area to improve recycling habits on windy days through the Green the Greenbelt campaign.

Around 50 ‘Green the Greenbelt’ flyers have been handed out to residents in the urban area around the Trenton’s greenbelt in an attempt to reduce the amount of recyclables being blown from blue boxes during windy collection days. Marilyn Bucholtz, communications and outreach co-ordinator for Lower

Trent Conservation, said volunteers picked up 34 bags of trash at the conservation area during the Quinte West Trash Bash this year, but noticed a lot of the bags held recyclables. “We realized most of the stuff wasn’t garbage, it was actually blowing out of peoples’ recycling,” she said. “We’re hoping that when we come back to do the trash bash next year that we’re not going to find nearly as much.” Bucholtz said the recyclables picked up during the trash bash were muddled in with garbage and contaminated so ended up being landfilled. The Lower Trent Conservation won one out of the three awards given out by the Quinte West Trash Bash committee during the corporate challenge, to see which local businesses could

pick up the most garbage. This prompted the campaign with Quinte Waste Solutions to give residents near the greenbelt and throughout Quinte West advice so that the wind doesn’t push recycling out of blue boxes. Recycling tips Put your blue box out the day of recycling collections by 7 a.m. “A lot of wind events happen during the night and if your recycling is out there all night there is a good chance it will blow all over the place,” said Dan Orr, communications coordinator for Quinte Waste Solutions. Break down everything, put all boxes inside another box so it is compact inside the blue box. Put all of your glass bottles on top to keep papers from

blowing around and crush cans and plastic bottles. “This saves space so that material isn’t overflowing out of the box so that wind won’t push it out,” said Orr. Putting the cap back onto a plastic bottle after it has ben crushed is also a good idea, said Orr, so bottles won’t expand out again. “We’re hoping that people will help us keep this property and all of the conservation areas and parks and roadsides all much cleaner,” said Bucholtz. The Trenton Greenbelt Conservation stretches along approximately 4 kilometers of the Trent River, providing a protective shoreline buffer. It includes three kilometers of trails, four picnic shelters and a boat launch within close proximity to downtown Trenton.

Belleville urges 20% reduction in water use

The city of Belleville is joining other area municipalities in urging residents to curtail water usage in the current near-drought conditions. The city recently issued a statement asking residents to curtail things like washing driveways and sidewalks, even some plants outside, in an effort to gear back on regular usage of municipal water by 20 per cent. Following is the statement released by City Hall. “In response to the decreased water levels resulting from the region’s hot, dry weather conditions, Quinte Conservation and the Low Water Response Team declared a Level Two Low Water Condition due to lack of rainfall and low flows in local rivers and streams. With a decrease of approximately 50% of the average rainfall across the watershed over the past three months, some lake and river levels are visibly lower than those normally experienced at this time of year. “The City of Belleville’s water

source is the Bay of Quinte and therefore very reliable, however, the City encourages businesses and residents to reduce their non-essential water use by 20% until the supply is replenished as recommended by Quinte Conservation. Non-essential use includes the outside watering of plants and lawns, and washing driveways and sidewalks. “Although our direct water source, The Bay of Quinte, has not been seriously impacted as other regional water sources have been as a result of the low water table, it is still a part of the entire watershed,” said Brian Cousins, Director of Finance. “In response, City staff is curtailing water use, Parks have reduced water consumption by 25% and we encourage residents and businesses to recognize the importance of everyone making a conscious effort to reduce water consumption.” “More information and tips on water conservation can be found at quinteconservation.ca.”

Crossfit Trent celebrates official grand opening By Erin Stewart Trenton – Crossfit Trent celebrated its official grand opening with a BBQ and, of course, a little bit of sweat during workouts on Saturday July 23. Opened by coach/owner Stephanie Anderson in 2013, Crossfit Trent outgrew its first location and is now located at 99 Dufferin Ave. with 5,000 square feet of functional space and equipment to challenge everyone who has a desire to work hard. “I love that what we do is actually making a difference in people’s lives… To know that we’ve contributed and helped somebody achieve something that was so important to them is incredible rewarding,” said Anderson. “I’m very, very proud of what we do.” Crossfit Trent has continued to grow and now offers a variety of programs under one roof. Thanks to additional part owners and coaches Michelle and Kevin Wallace, Pat and Erin Menard and Mike Miller, Crossfit Trent has expanded to offer its Crossfit Kids program, Olympic lifting, powerlifting club and wrestling club in addition to their Crossfit classes. Members range in age from fouryears-old in the Crossfit Kids program to 53-years-old, with people from all walks of life and at different stages in their fitness journey.

“Many people are afraid to try CrossFit because they think it’s too hard, and that they need to be in good shape first,” said Anderson. “That is completely false. CrossFit is suitable for all ages. We tailor the workouts to fit all fitness levels, and all abilities. We work around injuries and any limitations people have.” Tony Lombardi signed up at Crossfit Trent with his wife almost two years ago and he said it’s been a great journey. “It’s been amazing, you get great coaching, great owners and a great workout,” he said. “It’s fantastic, my whole family is involved.” Lombardi’s four children, ranging in age from four to 14, are all involved in programs at CrossFit Trent from the Crossfit Kids program to Olympic lifting. “They’re happy, they love it because they know fitness is good for them,” said Lombardi. “It’s just a good lifestyle for them and that’s what we want, my wife and I want them to have the ability to do stuff that keeps them mobile for later on in their life.” Lombardi said he recommends Crossfit Trent to everyone, including his parents. “Anyone I see that’s interested in fitness or even people who aren’t interested in fitness I speak with them about it because it is for everyone.” He said. “If you’re unsure about it you’ve got to

CFB Trenton – Linear thinking helped outgoing 8 Air Maintenance Squadron (8 AMS) Commanding Officer Lieutenant-Colonel (Lt.-Col.) Andrew Wedgwood with his departure speech at the Change of Command ceremony July 21. He admitted he struggled trying to figure out what to say to summarize the struggles, triumphs and the stories of two years’ worth of work by the nearly 200 dedicated aviators at 8 AMS. “The answer, as it often does, came from falling back upon my training. Our Wing Commander, Colonel (Col.) (Colin) Keiver, has occasionally noted that the aerospace engineering officers tend to have a linear method of thinking – that’s a polite way of saying we’re a little bit retentive, by the way – and he’s right,” he said. “I finally decided I’m going to use a nice linear approach to this speech by using the three priorities I set for the squadron when I arrived – direct support to operations, force generation for the 8 Wing Search and Rescue and Air Mobility communities, and personnel.” Lt.-Col. Wedgwood expressed his pride in the way 8 AMS took over the role of support to Operation NOBLE EAGLE, the CF-18 fighter jet response posture in support of the defence of Canada. “This effort was done without complaint, with efficiency, and with an absolute competency ultimately resulting in increased serviceability of the CC-130J fleet,” he noted. Training of technicians to the highest standard has helped the squadron with force generation for the search and rescue (SAR) and air mobility communities but it was the personnel who made him most proud of his two-year tenure as CO of 8 AMS. “This squadron has tangibly demonstrated its commitment to the 8 AMS family and also the community; for example, in the last two years, our members have selflessly volunteered their time to raise $43,000 for Camp Trillium, an organization that provides support and happy moments for children suffering from cancer. “I’ve also witnessed a number of our own members experience some incredibly challenging personal circumstances. In every case, this squadron rallied around their teammates to make sure they were okay mentally, financially and professionally,” he said. Lt.-Col. Wedgwood retained his sense of humour throughout his tenure, as he demonstrated by noting that Murphy’s Law was about to come into effect at 8 AMS with Lt.-Col. Todd Murphy taking over as the new Commanding Officer paired with his new command team member Chief Warrant Officer Dan Murphy. Kidding aside, he said he felt Lt.Col. Murphy’s CC-130J Hercules and headquarters experience along

with his easy-going personality would serve him well as the CO of 8 AMS over the next two years. But ultimately, Lt.-Col. Wedgwood thanked the entire 8 AMS team for their support over his two years. “Members of 8 AMS, I cannot thank you enough for what you’ve done and for what you are going to do for your new command team. They’re set up to succeed because of your commitment and your professionalism,” he noted. Presiding Officer and 8 Wing Commanding Officer Col. Keiver called 8 AMS personnel the “unsung heroes” in the background of the amazing wing in realizing the capability and potential of the CC-130J fleet, especially through the squadron’s assumption of the CF-18 fighter jet response posture. Col. Keiver praised the leadership of 8 AMS over the past two years. “Andrew, this squadron has thrived under your leadership and at the end of the day, as I tell everyone, it is leadership that makes the difference. Between you and (Chief Warrant Officer) Ted (Poper), you’ve delivered in spades and taken a unit that was already a great unit and made it greater. It continues to thrive and it is largely attributable to you and the people person you are,” he stated. Command of a squadron comes with responsibilities bigger than any one man, Col. Keiver told Lt.-Col. Murphy, adding that he had faith in his leadership skills. “I expect you to lead these people, I expect you to motivate them, I expect you to inspire them, I expect you to ensure they continue to do the great things they’ve done all through their great history, and I look to you and count on you to do that,” he said. Lt.-Col. Murphy said command of this squadron had been at the top of his list when he developed a personal career plan. “Needless to say, standing here today as the Commanding Officer of TICO#50007364

Revive Physio Care opens second location in Quinte West By Erin Stewart Trenton – After operating for two years in Belleville, Revive Physio Care has expanded to a second location to better serve patients in Quinte West. Revive Physio Care currently offers physiotherapy, acupuncture, chiropractic services, custom orthotics and massage therapy services. Joseph Chacko, owner/operator, has maintained a high profile in the Trenton area by working as a registered physiotherapist at both CFB Trenton and Crown Ridge Long Term Care and he said having a practice in Trenton has always been on his mind. “I’m so excited, this was my dream project and at last it’s come true,” said Chacko. “As our motto states ‘Quality Care Is Our Mission’, and my passion is bringing the highest quality evidence based care to this community.”

With a multidisciplinary clinic and a unique approach to treatment techniques, Chacko said his loyal patient base has been expanding and they’re very supportive of the team’s work at Revive Physio Care. “If I look in my database it looks like a family tree is just growing,” he said. “That’s my success, that’s why I keep growing.” Nejin Chacko, registered physiotherapist, is new to the Quinte area, but has over 18 years of experience and will be overseeing the Trenton facility. He has extensive training in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy and Sports Medicine. Dr. Raymond Lee, chiropractor, is another addition to the growing team. He is a certified Active Release Technique provider, in addition to his chiropractic skills, and will also be able to provide custom orthotics to clientele. Dr. Lee is familiar to Trenton’s military mem-

bers, as he has been providing his services at CFB Trenton for many years. The whole team at Revive Physio Care, including Jordan MacQuarrie, registered massage therapist and Sheryl Ashton physiotherapist assistant/ office manager look forward to working with the Quinte West community. Suzanne Andrews, manager of the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce, said it’s great to see Revive Physio Care expand across the Bay of Quinte area. “Quinte West has a lot of people that are really into sports and activities and I think this type of business offering all kinds of different therapies is going to be well used by the people here,” she said.

Today & Forever Events launches in Quinte West By Erin Stewart Trenton – Today and Forever Events has officially opened its doors downtown Trenton to help plan the next corporate or special event. Owner Alicia Johnstone said she has always planned family events, fundraising events for girl guides, churches and youth groups and realized event planning was her calling. Today and Forever Events offers multiple packages that are customized to each client to give everyone that forever experience, said Johnstone. “You want to have that event that is going to last for a lifetime in your memories, you want people to remember it for the good things,” she said, during her official grand opening on Thursday July 21. “You want them to remember that it’s the best event they’ve been to in a long time and that’s what my forever experience will give them.” From corporate events, weddings, non-profit events, birthday parties, volunteer appreciation nights or even team building exercise events, Today and Forever Events does it all.

Johnstone said her 5-year-old daughter really inspired her to follow her dreams and make it through post-secondary education.

“Her last birthday party I had Elsa come and she thought it was the greatest thing in

the world,” said Johnstone. “So it’s those little details that really made me want to provide that for other people.” Choosing the location in Trenton’s downtown core was a great decision, said Johnstone. “Being able to be seen by everybody that goes by and being able to be a part of downtown Trenton is just going to be a great thing for my business and for Trenton as well,” she said. “This is a fantastic addition to our community,” said Suzanne Andrews, general manager at the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce. “Events can be quite complicated these days and can be expensive depending on what you are doing. To have this type of expertise available to ensure everything goes off without a hitch is a great investment whether the client looking for a corporate or special event.” Today & Forever Events office is located at 74 Dundas St. West, Unit 6 in downtown Trenton.

424 Sqn. Tigers bid farewell to popular CO By Ross Lees

CFB Trenton – 424 (Transport and Rescue) Squadron seems to attract emotional leaders. In these last two commanding officers, they have two men who are perhaps emotional opposites – incoming Lieutenant- Colonel Leighton James is a very serious and dedicated man, Lt.-Col. Dany Poitras, the outgoing commanding officer, much less serious, but every bit as dedicated to the squadron, its men and women and its mission. Lt.-Col. Poitras laced his speech with humour, noting that he almost called 9-1-1 on the morning of his departure to boost the squadron’s calls during his tenure to 424 from the actual 423, noting how ironic that would have been. In thanking Colonel Colin Keiver for his support during Lt.-Col. Poitras’s tenure, he noted that during those moments when they might have agreed to disagree, he lost a few feathers but he ultimately appreciated the support always given when it was needed, adding he also appreciated working for a man not afraid to make waves. “In the end, you always committed to the betterment and well being of the troops, and I could see it every day,” he stated.

Still relying on humour to make his point, Lt.-Col. Poitrais added that Chief Warrant Officer Brian Wilson probably got more face time during his tenure than he did with his wife, but CWO Wilson spent less money. “Command is sometimes quite lonely and having you at my side definitely made a huge difference. You’ve been a mentor, an advisor, the voice of reason at times and the best confidant a CO could ask for,” Lt.-Col. Poitras said of CWO Wilson. When it came time to be serious, Lt.Col. Poitras proved he was capable of that, as well. In talking about the dedication and commitment of the 424 Sqn. personnel, he said, “In every case you guys committed to the mission, often to the detriment of your own families. This morning is a good example. The guys flew until 4 a.m. and everybody was scrambling to put the fly past together, but that’s the reality. You always did it without question. You guys truly embody service before self and I thank you and praise you for doing this every day and every night. I’m proud of you guys and I will miss every single one of you.” His advice to Lt.-Col. James was to take care of the squadron personnel like he would take care of his own family.

“They need it and deserve it,” he said. Knowing he was going to be missing the BlackBerry humming, he added as he ended his speech in an aside to Lt.-Col. James, “By the way, I’m still current for the next few months, so if you need me, please call.” Col. Keiver praised the men and women of 424 Sqn. “You answer the call and, as your CO so eloquently put it, you embody service before self. You step out the door in the middle of the night in horrible weather and go help Canadians in ways that quite frankly, most Canadians don’t even know,” he said. Col. Keiver said Lt.-Col. Poitras was one of the most passionate men he had ever met. “He wears his heart on his sleeve, he cares more than just about anyone I’ve ever met and he has done an exceptional job at 424 Sqn.,” he stated. Proving that he also had a sense of humour, Col. Keiver added, “People who care constantly push the envelope and Dany, as a subordinate commander, is an awesome guy to have as a Wing Commander because he provides the

opportunity, on occasion, to say no.” Col. Keiver welcomed Lt.-Col. James back into the 424 Sqn. fold, noting the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) had hand-picked him to command 424 Sqn. “You know the RCAF trusts you implicitly to get on with leading this great squadron,” he said, adding that as Colin Powell said, “Leadership is the art of getting more out of people and resources than the science of management says is possible.” Deeply ensconced in his faith, Lt.Col. James said there were two reasons he was where he was on this day. “The first reason I’m here is because the God who has saved me has measured my steps. He’s faithfully guided me. “The second reason I’m here today is people – God has used people to steer me to this moment and that’s why this moment is not about me, but about you. Today is about the leadership that has chosen to entrust me with this huge responsibility and today is about Lt.-

Col. Dany Poitras, who has guided the men and women of 424 Sqn. to great successes.” Lt.-Col. James said he wanted to thank the men and women of 424 Sqn instead of speaking of any grandiose plans or visions for the future. “I simply want to say thank you for your service - whether maintainers, support trade, or air crew - you are all part of the rescue process. The men and women of 424 Sqn risk their lives day in and day out without the need for recognition, but simply because they want to help their fellow Canadians,” he stated. “I know personally what it’s like to drive back home from a mission in silence and to climb into bed and wonder, ‘Wow, does anybody really understand what happened out there?’ As Col. Keiver said, many Canadians are probably not aware of the lengths we go to to save lives, but at the end of the day, you do it because you want to and not because you have to.”

History comes alive at Presqu’ile Park By Sarah Hyatt Brighton – Local residents and visitors of Presqu’ile Provincial Park had the chance to travel back in time last weekend. For one of the biggest weekends of summer, History Weekend at the park drew hundreds of people interested in reliving the past and those eager to learn about Presqu’ile’s rich history, which stems back about 200 years. The campgrounds were full. From the sinking of “Speedy,” to rumrunners during the prohibition era, to the pioneer days and the War of 1812, before the establishment of the park in 1922, the Presqu’ile peninsula saw its fair share of action over the years. And History Weekend stands to showcase just this. “We’re able to cover a lot of elements of our history,” says David

Bree, senior natural heritage education leader for the park. Over the course of three days, Presqu’ile’s storied past was shared through reenactments of 1867 shooting competitions, children’s programming which encouraged kids to solve the 1929 mystery of what happened to rumrunner Ben Kerr, oldfashioned fun and games once played during the 1900s picnics, ghost walks, plays, a Calthumpian parade and more. Attendees of this year’s event also had the chance to learn to live like a Presqu’ile settler and got a glimpse as to what life was like in a soldier’s camp, during the War of 1812. “We had kids go through some 1812 drills too,” said Bree. Firearms like the Brown Bess Flintlock Muskets and the Springfield rifle, alongside other firearms used throughout the ages were showcased through the shooting competition.

Geoff Audas, an East Northumberland Secondary School (ENSS) teacher led the charge for the historic shooting competition and reenactment, explaining the evolution of some of the firearms. A few dedicated volunteers for the day tested their skills as they fired shots over the bay. This weekend’s Calthumpian parade was one of the best attended in years. “Sometimes, people may think it’s weird with the outfits or it’s silly, but it’s actually one of the most historically accurate events of the weekend,” said Bree. The parade invited people to bring their pots, pans, all kinds of noisemakers and crazy costumes. Dozens marched from Campfire field to Chatterson Point, where the parade finished and kicked off the sailing of miniature vessels created the day before by kids and families,

which were meant to resemble those used in the Presqu’ile-Rochester regattas. During the picnic days or festivals, or after a wedding even, a Calthumpian parade was a common way to celebrate, said Bree. Back in the day, people marched in celebration from the old Presqu’ile hotel, to the lighthouse. “It’s fun for us too – to dress up in costumes and imagine what it would be like in that time period,” said Laura McClintock. McClintock oversees the children’s programming at the park and also, helps organize History Weekend, which has been going strong now for at least 25 years, it’s estimated. Preserving Presqu’ile’s history has always been a focus for staff, says McClintock. For families, History Weekend is often a highlight of the summer too. “We saw hundreds of people

throughout the weekend,” said McClintock. “Some of the people I met, they’ve been coming to this event for 10 years. Another little boy insisted on dragging his whole family down to the park. And we see those people at almost every single event throughout the weekend.” A big draw this year was also the lighthouse walking tours. Tales of the rumrunner days and the sinking of the schooner “Speedy” were shared during the walks. Back in the day, the only way to get to Presqu’ile was by boat. The Speedy with a group of travelers was making its way to Presqu’ile when it sunk. It’s never been found. “It’s maybe the most significant historical event,” said Bree. The sinking of the ship was cause to not create a town here. “Who knows how different things would be now, if the Speedy never sunk,” said McClintock.

Powerboats return for Poker Run; hope ripple effect is more tourism dollars for Bay of Quinte

By Stephen Petrick

Belleville – Dozens of spectators lined Meyers Pier in Belleville Saturday morning to watch a group of powerboats owners roar their engines. The boaters gathered just north of the restaurant and one by one took off for Deseronto, leaving huge waves in the water and renewed hope that the Bay of Quinte waterway will become more of a tourist destination. “In my honest opinion, we’re not pushing our waterway enough,” said Chris Lamer, a local powerboater, who was participating in the event, titled the Bay of Quinte Poker Run and Rendezvous. “Events like this do just that.” About 15 large boats participated in the event, which is not a race, but rather a game of chance. The boaters left Belleville at about 10:30 a.m. on Saturday and headed first to Deseronto. They then made stops in Picton, Adolphus Reach and Trenton before returning to Meyers Pier in the afternoon. At each stop, the boaters picked up a playing card. The boater with the best poker hand after reaching all five stops won. The poker aspect ensures these types of boating gatherings don’t turn into dangerous races. They also give motivation to participants to follow a course, and see different areas of a waterway. This marked the fourth year in a row that the Bay of Quinte has hosted a Poker Run, with help from Poker Runs America, an organization that co-ordinates and promotes similar events across the continent. Each year, the Bay of Quinte Poker Run has had roughly 15 to 20 boats, Lamer said. The event has a long way to go if it wants to become similar to another poker run hosted out of Kingston. That one has been around for about 20 years and sometimes attracts close to 100 boaters. But Lamer said he’s glad that the Bay of Quinte run is encouraging some people to visit the area

and see what it’s all about. “We love it,” he said. “The more boats the merrier.” Poker Runs are hailed as great events to stimulate tourism, and thus economic spinoffs. It’s safe assumption that people who can afford to own $100,000 powerboats have disposable income – and don’t mind spending it on hotels, restaurants and others products found in the locales they liked to visit. Lamer said that, among this year’s participants, about one-third were local, another one third were from the Kingston to Brockville region and the final one third were from Golden Horseshoe cities, such as Hamilton and Toronto. Many have now participated in the Bay of Quinte Poker Run and Rendezvous multiple times, because they know it offers a scenic view and nice places to stop. “Our water is what brings them here,” he said. “They’re returning because of A powerboat moves through Bay of Quinte water off Belleville, with the Norris Whitney Bridge in the background. the water.”

Ninety-two year old has wish fulfilled; rides in hot air balloon

Belleville – Mary McLean’s sky-high dream has finally come true. The 92-year-old Belleville resident, who lives at Chartwell Bayview Retirement Residence, got to ride in a hot air balloon. The balloon took off from Zwick’s Island Park on the evening of July 26. McLean had planned on celebrating her 70th birthday in a hot air bal-

happen. “It was quite the experience, I’m so glad that I finally did it,” Mary said, after the flight. Wish of Lifetime Canada is a charity which seeks to change society’s view of aging by providing life-enriching wish experiences to senior citizens. It reached out to Re/Max Quinte to help fulfill Mary’s dream, by accessing the Re/Max hot air balloon. “We are very excited for Mary to finally experience her lifelong dream at the age of 92,” said Sharon Henderson, Vice President of Communications and Public Affairs at Chartwell, shortly before the flight. “We hope her wish inspires others to pursue their own passions and to continue living life to the fullest.” Sally Webster, of Wish of a Liftime added, “We are truly grateful at the outpouring of community support for Mary and her wish. We envision a world in which all communities celebrate and honour our oldest citizens.” McLean was a deserving recipient of the wish. She broke barriers as a doctor in remote Newfoundland fishing communities several years ago, and has been a life-long volunteer. The U.S. charity Wish of a Lifetime was founded in 2008 by twotime Olympic skier, World Cup gold medalist, entrepreneur, and former NFL football player Jeremy Bloom in living honour of his grandmother, and Wish of a Lifetime Canada launched as an independent organization in Canada in September of 2015. Mary McLean gets ready to board the Re/Max hot air balloon. Submitted The organization envisions a world in which society embraces aging photo loon with some friends, but the balloon company cancelled her flight last minute and she missed the opportunity. Chartwell Retirement Residence has a partnership with Wish of a Lifetime Canada, an organization that grants wishes to seniors. McLean’s wish was submitted and approved, allowing for the flight to

and the inherent wisdom that accompanies it, where seniors are celebrated for their accomplishments and sacrifices, and where intergenerational connections are part of our daily lives. After experiencing a wish, 93 per cent of U.S. wish recipients stated they felt their quality of life improved and

76 per cent said they felt their overall health improved, and the organization expects to see similar benefits in their Canadian recipients. Mary’s daughter, Joanna, said it meant a lot to see her mother’s wish fulfilled. “This gave her something to live for, something to look forward to. It has given her a

real boost. “Even the fact that someone was interested in her story made her feel special. It reminded her that her life was worthwhile and that aging isn’t such a horrible thing.” To learn more about the organization or to help fulfill a senior’s Wish, visit www. wishofalifetime.org/canada

Firearms expert aims to open a range in Codrington

By Sarah Hyatt Brighton – For those interested in shooting sports within the municipality, they may soon have a spot to hone their skills. William Benn’s hope is to construct a small arms firing range, located at 780 Cameron Rd., in Codrington. The submitted official plan and zoning bylaw amendment applications were deemed complete at a recent July planning meeting. If the range is approved at the municipal and provincial levels, Benn’s hope is to have it fully operational by April 2017 – though he’d like to see people using the range before then. “My goal is to create a fun, safe and enjoyable place for people interested in shooting sports and those interested in training for competitions,” said Benn in an interview after the July meeting. The proposed firing range would occupy almost 110 acres and include anywhere from eight-to-10 ranges about 25 metres wide and deep, as well as a storage building and off-street parking area. The firing range, if approved, will also include a skills training centre to assist with instruction of proper handling of firearms. “The plan is to have guest instructors and myself constantly running courses

to help improve people’s skills and ultimately safety at the range and while handling firearms,” said Benn. The improving of people’s skills and appropriate training goes hand-in-hand with safety and participation in the discipline, explained Benn, who says safety is a priority with his proposal. And this is one way Benn plans to ensure it. “We’ll be promoting a very controlled environment and operational model,” he said. A range safety officer would be on staff at all times too, added Benn. A large 120-foot hill almost in the centre of the proposed property also plays into safety. Behind the hill are about 750 metres of Benn’s property and another additional 750 metres of uninhabited farmland – this provides a large safety buffer zone, explained Benn, and is in part why the property on Cameron Road was chosen as an ideal location. “It’s also a lightly populated area,” Benn noted. Currently, Benn is a member at the Lower Trent Valley Fish and Game Club, where he rents space and teaches firearm safety. The proposed shooting range development is Benn’s way of expanding on his passion for teaching.

Benn’s been involved with the sport in one way or another professionally or personally throughout most of his life. He fired his first gun at the age of nine. “I often take courses myself even – this is something I’ve just always enjoyed.” Benn’s served 21 years in the military, deployed five times operationally, twice to Afghanistan and done tours elsewhere like Bosnia. He’s served domestically during the Winnipeg floods and ice storms out west and also served as a master firearms instructor at the Sig-Sauer Academy in New Hampshire. Benn first approached the municipality about the potential for a range in Codrington back in November 2015. He’s since conducted noise, traffic and environmental impact assessments. Mayor Mark Walas, at the July meeting, clarified there will be ample opportunities for extended public comment moving forward and prior to any site approval. Following the July meeting where Benn’s submission materials were essentially stamped complete, staff requested a peer review noise assessment. Benn is hopeful for a public meeting, which would welcome residents’ input and/or concerns as soon as possible. Given a thorough, and informative presentation down the line, Councillor Steven Baker said he’d like to see the proposal go forward. As a group, Benn says those involved with shooting sports are

some of the most “courteous, polite and respectful,” sporting groups out there. He’s eager to drive this message home, he added, and that the range would be constructed in a similar manner – with neighbouring homeowners in mind. Benn lives just a few kilometres away, he noted. Hours of operation would be shorter than those outlined as acceptable by Ontario legislation, which states clubs can operate a half-hour after sunrise, until a half-hour before sunset. Benn says he’d rather see operational hours around 9 a.m. until 5 or 7 p.m. – after the kids are gone to school and most people to work. Sunday hours would begin at noon. “We’ll also be taking steps to ensure minimal impacts on the environment around the property,” said the teacher. Benn says he’s met with local homeowners – those closest to the proposed range, who’ve since signed documen-

tation stating they’re OK with his proposal. Previous noise assessments completed with homeowners as close as 600 metres to the proposed range, didn’t identify the potential for any concern, he said. Noise was described as well below the average conservation level. “I can’t say people would never hear noise, but it certainly would never be overwhelming,” said Benn. Benn’s plan is to cap membership at 500, although market research identified a demand for up to 2,000 potentially. This would be to ensure manageable noise and traffic levels, said Benn. The teacher also sees his proposal as one that’s beneficial to the local economy. Benn anticipates people will travel to practise and train at the range and ultimately spend money in town on coffee, food, gas and even temporary lodging. If approved at the municipal level, Benn still needs the Ontario Provincial Police division of the Chief Firearms Office A pharmacy first to sign-off, which Belleville Trenton Brighton would continually monitor and inspect the club This week’s besT buy FRiDAy AuG 5 - ThuRsAy AuG 11 to ensure safety standards in conjunction with the Firearms Act.

Oak Hills Golf Club flourishes under new ownership By Erin Stewart Quinte West – Within six months of owning Oak Hills Golf Club Andrew Gunning has improved and revamped the course and is determined to continue to raise the standards at Oak Hills. Gunning, also owner of Farnsworth Construction Ltd. said during the official re-opening of Oak Hills on Tuesday July 26 that the course is being totally transformed, “We’ve got a lot of things done fast, we’ve tried to do everything right along the way without any shortcuts,” said Gunning. “It’s really nice to be on top of things and moving forward, pretty proud of it.” Gunning said they rose to the challenge of improving the course, which he said was a major undertaking. Around 11 grounds crew were hired for the season to enhance the course. “You start at one end and go to the other and fix everything in between that’s broken,” he said. “That’s literally what’s been happening.” The irrigation system was repaired, with some parts of the course being

watered for the first time in a very long time, said Gunning. There has been a proper fertilizing and cutting program in place, proper cart maintenance and additional new carts added to the fleet, new signage and branding, new paved driveway, new landscaping and under brushing the course was a big undertaking, said Gunning. “Along with all the other changes, the main floor of the clubhouse has gone through a major modernization and is a must see, this is now an open concept space that will blow you away,” said Gunning. Although there is a long list of improvements finished there is still more work to be done, said Gunning. Improvements will be made this fall to the tee decks and additional work is planned for the clubhouse, including more landscaping and an outdoor patio. Gunning said the response from members has been fantastic and they’re really happy with the work that has been complete so far. “That’s one of the neat things about this whole experience is the pride that they take in their course is unbeliev-

able, there’s some members that have been here for 40 years and they’ve done everything they can and they’re willing to do everything they can to help see it succeed,” he said. “You won’t find a better club with better membership.” With many improvements complete and numerous improvements still to come, Gunning said memberships have doubled over last year’s numbers, nearly reaching 200 members. With 36 holes, Gunning said the course is great for tournaments and they’ve hosted a number so far this season. “We’ve had quite a few tournaments here this year and the nice thing about it is everyone’s left happy so they’ll be back next year and I’m sure there will be a lot of other tournaments to follow as well,” said gunning, adding that it’s important for him to keep the course at 36 holes. Gunning said the upstairs clubhouse space is perfect to cater to tournaments and he has some exciting plans for the upstairs that he’s sure will make Oak Hills the leader of the pack in regards to tournaments because of the facility

and service. With a number of exciting ideas for the future, Gunning said he’d like to open up the conversation about his idea of adding a brewery at the golf club. “I’d definitely welcome someone that’s in that business to approach me and I think it’d be great for the community and good for the atmosphere up here if there was a brewery here,” he said.

For those interested in purchasing memberships at Oak Hills Golf Club for the 2017 season, Gunning said they are now offering the rest of this season free with the purchase of next year’s membership.

Belleville team earns silver at provincial lawn bowling championships – on home turf

Belleville – The 2016 Ontario Lawn Bowling Championships for men and women’s triples, were held at the Belleville Lawn Bowling Club on Yeomans Street on Saturday, July 23 and Sunday, July 24 – and a local team hit the podium. All 16 teams played through a long and energetic first day to determine which eight teams progressed to Sunday’s semifinals. The Belleville’s

women’s trio of Judy Steinke, Sue Palmer and skip Donna McLeese, played extremely well and were unbeaten in progressing. On Sunday Belleville’s women won through to the final but were beaten in an agonizingly close game by Mary Meldrum, Dona McCallum, and Sheila Lumley from District 9. Although disappointed to be so close, the Belleville women were gra-

cious in winning silver. The women’s bronze medals went to Mona Li, Shirley Ko, and Lam Tran from District 12. The men’s gold winners were Steve Naylor, Ken Bunner, and John MacKenzie from Oshawa. Silver went to Bill Sheffield, Bill Rogers, and Rob Jennings from Galetta District 16, and bronze went to Keith Park, Bob Bates, and Ken

Uyesugi from District 10. It was a spectacular weekend of lawn bowling enjoyed by all who came to watch and cheer, Belleville club members said. Blessed with perfect weather, Mayor Taso Christopher and Prince Edward Hastings MPP Todd Smith both welcomed the 48 competitors and their guests on Saturday morning. Many had travelled from all over the prov-

ince to compete for the honor of representing Ontario in the Canadian National Championships to be held in Edmonton in August. Any member of the public who would like to have a go at lawn bowling is welcome to come to the club on Monday mornings at 10 a.m. or Tuesday and Thursday at 7 p.m. for a free game. Instruction and equipment is provided.

Flinton Community Jamboree honours local talent By Melyssa Gloude Flinton - What started as The Flinton Country Bluegrass Jamboree – a fundraising initiative of the Flinton Recreational Club – took on a new name this year as the Flinton Community Jamboree. Dave McKitrick is on the board of directors affiliated with the event. He says that the new goal outside of community fundraising, is to honour those that have contributed greatly in the area music scene. “This year’s event is about awarding plaques to older members of the music community that have been around for a long time and taught a lot of people in the area,” said McKitrick. “A lot of these people are getting up in years and we’re going to start losing them so we wanted to induct them now while they’re still around.” The event, which took nearly six months to prepare for, was aimed to acknowledge, formally recognise and honour the contributions of musicians, songwriters and promoters within the Tri-County Land Jamboree organizer and Hall of Fame inductee George York performed on stage with fellow musicians and friends during the First Annual Flinton Community Jamboree on O’ Lakes Region. Saturday held at the Flinton Township Recreation Centre. Photo by Melyssa Gloude Inductee George York

is a prime example, says McKitrick. “He’s done a lot for the community, organisations and people. A lot of these people have played in different bands around the area. A lot of them played in events to raise money for different things that the community needs money for.” Hall of Fame Inductees included: Reg Weber, George York, the late Floyd Lloyd and Cathy Whalen with Charlie Pringle and Harold Perry receiving the Lifetime Achievement Awards. The induction ceremony featured live music and stories of friendship in the community. The Hall of Fame Committee also collected memorabilia, photographs, albums and song sheets to be catalogued and loaned to area museums such as the Tweed Heritage Centre, Cloyne Pioneer Museum and the Napanee Museum for display purposes. The committee also maintains that it will collect and preserve the biographies of musicians from the database so as to not lose the valuable cultural history of music in the Land O’ Lakes.

Campbellford senior doesn’t let her age hold her back By Sue Dickens Campbellford – There’s nothing unusual about wanting to trim a rose bush, unless you are Madeline McCarthy. She is 103 years young, and there’s not much she won’t do to remain active. She has been living at Burnbrae Gardens for the past five years. One of her favourite activities is reading and looking out her window, so it wasn’t long before she decided the bush outside needed to be trimmed. An avid gardener and a woman who is used to doing things for herself she said, “I asked Harrison (Montgomery), the maintenance manager, if he could bring me his snippers.” He did, and the two went outside together to trim the bush. “I held the branches and said, cut here, cut there, and he did,” she said with a grin. “He brought a wheelbarrow because the branches were all over the ground.”

The task took about half an hour, but it has resulted in infinite hours of enjoyment for McCarthy, who now says she can see out of the window of her room unimpeded. “I feel much better about it,” she added smiling. This from a woman who, in her 80s, roofed her home. McCarthy is used to hard work and, at one point in her life, owned the Northbrook Hotel Madeline McCarthy, a resident at Burnbrae Gardens, doesn’t sit still for long. At 103 years of age, she decided the bush outside her window needed trimming and that’s just what she did. Photo by Sue Dickens with her husband, Joe Bolton. “We lived at the hotel and worked there every day,” she commented. “I cooked all the meals and did the gardening. I did what I could. We had to make a living.” Talking about her life, McCarthy says she has had a lot of good times and has some advice FREE FREIGHT for other seniors: “Just keep going, keep busy.” TRENTON • GANANOQUE • WILLIAMSBURG She is a bit of a celebrity, having been featured Pre-Delivery Inspection Is Included At No Charge recently in the Omni Healthcare news.

It was all part of a special draw held at the library and for her effort Sheridan picked up a vintage picnic basket valued at over $300 including more than $200 worth of gift certificates.

Prince Edward County is on a high note musically By Jack Evans Some 30 years ago, Prince Edward County slipped easily from an economy based on dairying and canning, plus some tourism, into one focused on winemaking, brewing and capital T tourism. At this time of year, with the same ease, it slips from one music festival to another, embracing jazz to classics. Even as the long-established Port Milford music camp wrapped up on the Civic Holiday weekend, the

annual jazz festival is set to kick off Aug. 16 through Aug. 21, starting with a lecture by internationally known trumpeter and county resident Guido Basso in the Baxter Hall, Bloomfield at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 16. It closes with a sizzling all star big band jazz spectacular at The Regent Theatre on Sunday, Aug. 21 at 8 p.m. In between are two or three other major concerts in The Regent plus dozens of special jazz ensemble performances at locations throughout the county. From a humble start, this event has grown

into one of the most successful and particularly authentic jazz festivals in Canada. Details are all online at www.pecjazz.org Then it is back to classical music with the 13th annual Prince Edward County Classical Music Festival starting Sept. 17 and running through Sept. 25 with a traditionally popular jazz mass at St. Mary Magdalene Anglican Church in Picton as the morning service. From a lineup that focused on small, intimate chamber music performances at the start, the festival

has grown in scope to include larger ensembles, including operas in The Regent Theatre. This year will include a large baroque ensemble called “I Furiosi,” described as “vivacious, punk and scorching,” with most of the string players having served with the world famous Toronto-based Tafelmusik. That concert is Sunday, Sept. 18. The opening night performance on Saturday, Sept. 17 is “A Grand Night for Singing,” with Opera McGill under Patrick Hansen – vocal students from across Canada

and the United States, blending their voices in solos, duets and ensembles from famous operas to Broadway, complete with costumes and props. Chamber music groups are headlined by the Lafayette String Quartet, plus other soloists and small ensembles. This tends to be a festival for serious music lovers, but it is obvious it is making an effort to appeal to a broader range of audience. The talent lineup is simply amazing. For Quinte area residents, it’s like a whole six-week musical buffet.

Quinte Conservation to operate dams to increase flows in some local rivers Water levels continue to be dangerously low on the Black, Salmon, and Napanee Rivers. This has prompted Quinte Conservation to operate dams in order to increase flows downstream of the dams. General Manager Terry Murphy said, “we are attempting to maintain a minimal flow in the rivers to support local ecosystems. Residents above the dams we are operating will notice a decline in their water levels.” Quinte Conservation staff began operating the following dams last week: - Lingham Lake Dam to support the Black River - Upper Arden and Laraby Rapids Dams to support the Salmon River - Second Depot Lake Dam to support the Napanee River Murphy added, “if conditions worsen we may operate the Skootamatta Lake Dam in the near future.” Quinte Conservation and the Low Water Response Team declared a Level 2 Low Water Condition due to lack of rainfall and low flows in local rivers and streams on July 12 and has been meeting regularly to reassess the situation. The Quinte area has been experiencing low water conditions since the beginning of June. A Level 2 Low Water Condition indicates a potentially serious water supply problem. This level often means minor water supply issues are encountered and there is the potential for major supply problems. Quinte Conservation is a community-based environmental protection agency. It serves 18 municipalities in the watersheds of the Moira, Napanee and Salmon Rivers and Prince Edward County. For details visit www. quinteconservation.ca.

Switzerland’s amazing Zermatt and the Matterhorn

By John M. Smith Zermatt is certainly one of Switzerland’s most popular tourist areas, for this mountain village is dominated by the towering, renowned Matterhorn, the world’s most photographed summit. On a clear day, the views from the village, and the summit, are truly astounding. The weather for the first day of my visit to Zermatt was rather overcast, so the view of the Matterhorn was disappointing. Its peak was hidden by clouds. However, I felt that even this partial view was worth several photos. Then came a clear viewing day, and I discovered for myself that it was, indeed, a truly magnificent sight. This imposing, snow-capped mountain rises high above Zermatt (to a height of 4,477 m/14,690’), and I was now able to see it so very vividly, including its pyramidal shape and its four distinct, steep faces. Since the visibility was so good, I knew that this was the day to ascend the steep cog railway to the summit of Gornegrat, where I was rewarded with spectacular views of the Matterhorn, other mountain peaks, and glaciers. I was greeted by two traditional Swiss symbols: Saint Bernard dogs with miniature beer kegs around their necks and musicians playing alpenhorns. I also saw many hikers heading out onto the mountain trails, and even a couple of brave mountain bikers beginning the descent! I had lunch at the summit (Kulmhotel Gornegrat) before beginning my descent by hiking down to Riffel Lake (where, on a clear day, you’ll find a magnificent reflection of the Matterhorn!). I passed by some grazing ibex on my hike, and I marvelled at just how gigantic these glaciers really were when I got up close and personal. I then boarded the train again, and descended. Back in Zermatt, I realized just how much the Matterhorn ‘ruled’, for there were many hotels here, to accommodate the great number of tourists that were drawn to this particular mountain village to see the Matterhorn. There was also the popular, crystal-shaped Mat-

terhorn Museum, which housed summer ski area (where skiing is the equipment used by the first available year-round), so I guess team of mountaineers to ascend that I could expect it to be colder. the mountain in 1865 (four of It’s a rather strange feeling to be the seven climbers lost their lives boarding a cable car on a sumon the descent).

I passed several alpine huts on the ascent (where herders used to stay for the summer and tend the sheep and cattle grazing in these alpine meadows), and I witnessed the changing terrain; trees became smaller, and then no longer grew at all; the landscape became barren rock or snow-covered. It was a pleasant 22 degrees C when I departed from the village, but it was -6C when I reached the summit, and there were even a few snow flurries on this summer day. However, I was now up where there was the highest viewing platform in the Alps, and the highest A view of the highest alpine cableway.

The Good Earth: Odds & Sods No. 5

with me about the weather network/ government conspiracy theory as expressed in last week’s column. We were told that the temperatures would be cooler. On the first day we saw a 31, on the second forecasted “cooler” day we saw 34. I’ve heard about “newspeak” but I never expected it to be combined with new math. Let’s go back to our school days and put next week into terms you and I understand. According to the forecast, this Monday (past at the time of your reading) will be the coolest day of the week at a titch over 80. Friday will come in at titch under O&S#1 Gosh, it’s still hot. I am surprised 88˚F with the humidex taking it up at how many Gentle Readers agree to 102˚F. This is a language I am not

Dan Clost

interested in learning! O&S#2 Mulch I will be slogging through this week’s heat and adding new mulch under our trees and throughout the flower beds. It will be one part of a two-pronged strategy to help our plants make it through these tough times. Remember, we’re in a Stage 2 Drought (at time of writing) and it would be irresponsible to take the easy way of turning on the water. There are some plants that will recover or, if they don’t, will be easily replaced. Lawns are number one on the “they’ll come back” list. Large, mature tree and shrubs are close behind. On the Clost Commons, we’re seeing major wilting in some established stands of

forsythia, as well as in a Japanese lilac and an arrow-wood viburnum. I’m afraid the latter has succumbed. Normally the plants don’t really need that much help but the mulch will cool down the soil and retain any moisture. However, we will be providing supplemental water to 3 newly planted standards, two vanilla strawberry hydrangeas and a nannyberry. Deep watering by prolonged trickling (see previous columns in the archives of this newspaper to determine how much water a tree needs) should see them through. O&S#3 I gave up on my annuals and they thanked me! I think people will

be really surprised at how their annuals are performing; especially those from the Mediterranean area ( Mediterranean spurge, Euphorbia characias subs wulfeni and rock rose, Helianthemum); from South Africa ( pelargoniums, or zonal geraniums and Cape Daisy, aka osteospermum); and those from our neighbours to the south (golden aster, Pityopsis graminifolia, spiderwort, Tradescantia.) We tend to overwater plants and actually we set those drouth tolerant plants back. With the heat and dryness, we’re seeing these chappies explode into the full size and range of colours. Make a note in your gardening book for next year.

ATESS dedicates building to former commander By Ross Lees CFB Trenton - It was a natural fit in any number of ways. Naming the Aerospace and Telecommunications Engineering Support Squadron (ATESS) refinishing hangar, at Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Trenton the “Colonel John Paul Bachlet, CD Refinishing Hangar” was absolutely the right thing to do. It put a name on the building of a man who wanted nothing less than to command ATESS, and honoured one of their own, a highly respected former Commanding Officer. Colonel (Col.) Bachlet’s dream lasted less than two years, as he lost his life in a tragic civil aircraft accident, while approaching the second anniversary of his appointment as Commanding Officer of the Aerospace Maintenance Development Unit (AMDU), as it was then called, in July of 1992. Though his tenure may have been short, he had a positive impact on non-destructive testing (NDT) in the military, and was an inspiring leader, according to present-day ATESS Commanding Officer, LieutenantColonel D.J. Butcher. “I first learned of Col. Bachlet in

2004. I’d just completed my non-destructive testing post-graduate training and was posted to ATESS. The first thing that I saw when I entered the building was a beautiful memorial that sat prominently in the entrance way. The memorial commemorated Col Bachlet’s contributions to nondestructive testing in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). I studied the memorial closely and was inspired by him as a leader, as were many in the NDT, aerospace engineering, and maintenance community,” he said. Lt.-Col. Butcher said it was a great honour to dedicate the building to Col. Bachlet’s memory. “Twelve years later, I’m reminded of Col. Bachlet every day as I walk by his picture in my office, and before I go home every night to my family. The RCAF, ATESS, NDT and the Quinte community still remembers, admires and respects Col. Bachlet. As a dedicated and loyal leader, husband, father and friend, I would like to ensure that his legacy endures. That is why we are here today.” The process of naming a building in the military is a long one, and this particular effort took five years, and required the support of leadership at all levels for it to actually happen,

with part of that support coming from a man who worked for Col. Bachlet, Chief Warrant Officer (CWO) Aidan Brake. CWO Brake worked for Col. Bachlet when the unit was AMDU, and again in Baden, Germany when Col. Bachlet was the Commanding Officer of 1 Air Maintenance Squadron (AMS). Col. Bachlet’s wife, Sharyn, said she was delighted and honoured to witness the dedication of the building she drove by, three times a week, on the way to the golf course. “It’s absolutely astounding to me to think that John is still being remembered at this level of love, caring, and honour,” she said in her address. She described her husband as a very humble and unassuming man who also was confident and ambitious; whose first love in the military was non-destructive testing. “But his goal and his dream always was to command this unit,” she said with breaking voice. “He got to do that and not all of us get to fulfill our dreams that we have as young people. We’ll never know what John may have accomplished in his life had he been able to have had a longer life.” Mrs. Bachlet was especially pleased that her daughter, Allison, was able

to attend the ceremony with her new husband, a man Sharyn Bachlet felt her husband would have considered a perfect choice for his daughter. “I want to thank everybody for remembering him. He was dedicated; he was serious, professional, a kid

at heart, but he was absolutely honoured to be a member of the Canadian Armed Forces, and he was dedicated and proud to have that role. “This is truly a tremendous honour. I think John would feel this has exceeded the standard,” she noted.

Campbellford palletmaker ‘like a family’ for owners and employees By John Campbell Campbellford – It’s been 20 years since Precision Wood Products established itself in Tanner Industrial Park at the edge of town. Founder Doug Runions doesn’t figure to be around for its 25th anniversary. At least as owner. Two years ago he and his wife Lori, the company’s secretary-treasurer, sold 40 per cent of their business to Jason Duguay, their sales manager, and Don Beavis, their plant manager, to begin the transition to leaving the industry. The two long-time employees “will end up owning it all” in four years and he and Lori “will go on to do what we‘d like to do later in life,” he said. Selling them part of the business “was probably the best thing that I have ever done for the company [as] they‘re way more capable of running the day-to-day operations,” he said, “so Lori and I have been refining certain things where we need to put our attention to make more money with the same amount of employees.” Precision Wood has 27 full-time workers, including the co-owners, and four students who work part-time, producing 2,000 pallets a day

for use around the world. The company uses 30,000 board feet of spruce, pine and fir a day to make more than 200 kinds of pallets for up to 65 customers. It also recycles its products where feasible and grinds its waste material into mulch and animal bedding it sells locally. Runions said Duguay (who‘s been with the company 20 years) and Beavis (17 years) “stepped up” when a buyer expressed interest in acquiring Precision Wood who “probably would have moved it to Toronto” or some other city. It was “an opportunity you can‘t let go by,” Beavis said. “It‘s a chance to keep employing people in the community.” Starting the business “was quite a challenge at first ... a lot of trial and error,” Lori Runions said. “But it‘s all been worth it in the end. It just makes you feel good seeing all these people have a way of making a living. We‘re like a family.” It‘s a feeling shared by employees such as shift foreman Roy McDonald, the first person hired. They‘re “really good people to work for,” he said. Duguay said his boss, Doug Runions, “treats his employees right, that‘s why we have low

turnover here.” “I see nothing but great things when I‘m not here,” Runions said, looking ahead. “These two guys showed they cared above and beyond.” The company has grown from 4,000 square feet to 12,600 square feet. The starting wage is $13.50 an hour, and employees share in the profits as well as receive a Christmas bonus. “We‘ve never missed no matter how bad the year was and we‘ve had some bad years,” Runions said.

Preparations are underway for Hasting County Plowing Match By Melyssa Gloude “I’m supposed to be retired, but this is my hobby,” says 91-year-old Frank Hale of Hastings County. “I’ve harvested all my life, can’t hardly get away from it.” In preparation for the 28th Annual Hastings County Plowing Match and Farm Show, Hale, along with his son John and other volunteers got together to complete what has turned into an annual tradition: putting an antique grain binder back to work in the field. As part of a demonstration for the Farm Show, Hale’s 60-year-old grain binder was pulled behind a tractor unlike todays modern combines, says Hale. “There’s no motor on it. It’s self propelled from the wheel on the ground.” The old grain binder does experience its fair share Ninety-one-year-old Frank Hale of Hastings County is still hard at work in preparation for the Hastings County Plowing Match and Farm Show. His 60-year-old grain binder of hiccups despite being a tried-and-true method: will be used during the equipment demonstrations at the event. Photo by Melyssa Gloude

Hale says that he’s one of few who can keep the machine on track. “You can’t even buy parts for this anymore; fairly few people understand this machine,” says Hale. “There’s a thing inside that ties the string and there’s maybe one man in 100 that knows how to adjust it.” The antique grain binder will be part of the equipment demonstrations at the Hastings County Plowing Match and Farm Show, which will take place August 24 and 25. The event, hosted by Cornervue Farms in Queensborough, will feature 300 exhibitors of agricultural technology and services, woodlot demonstrations, crafts, antiques, a Queen of the Furrow competition and more.

Queen’s University Barefoot Players captivate the youngsters at Marmora Library By Margriet Kitchen Marmora – Six members of the Barefoot Players troupe from the Queen’s University Drama department enthralled children with imaginative fairy tales of siblings wronged, a good fairy princess and a nasty king, in stories that demanded the crowd’s attention and imagination. The per-

formance took place at the Marmora Library on a recent July day and it marked the second year in a row the group had come to the library. Three fairy stories, especially written for the performance, introduced characters such as Perseus, the three Muses, and Andromeda, the Bear who stole summer. There was a third tale of sibling rivalry and a fairy queen. They

all concluded with happy endings. The William Shannon Room at the library rang with laughter and oohs and aahs as the performers sang, played and danced their way through the colourful performances. This year’s cast included Maddy Scovil (third year), Julia Dickson (second year), Brandon Swann (second year), and ﬁrst-year players Blair

Macmillan, Lizzie Moffat, and Sarah Currie. Dickson explained that the entire production is both created and ﬁnanced by the students themselves, with some sponsorships, including Joe’s Mill in Kingston, which provides musical instruments when needed. The costumes, props, and backdrop are made by the cast themselves,

Yeeeehaw! Tweed Stampede returns for its biggest year yet By Melyssa Gloude Stoco - During the dog days of summer, the Tweed Stampede Rodeo and Jamboree never fails to saddle up the crowds for a long weekend of fun, sun, and a whole lot of cowboys kickin’ up dust. Casey Trudeau, the mastermind behind the Tweed Stampede, says that 2016 has been the best year yet for attendance. Trudeau says he estimates that over 10,000

guests from across the country (and across the border) packed up for the exciting rodeo weekend at Trudeau Park. “We sold out campsites, and it’s hard to say how many people are even down there. As long as the days go good and the weather goes good, we expect a record year,” says Trudeau. “Every year is bigger and bigger and we’re happy with the turnout.” One of the biggest draws to the

event was the concert series, which featured the talents of Cold Creek County, Them Dang Rattlers, Doc Walker, Kyle Dunn, George Canyon and more. The concert series also featured an emerging artist showcase which gave a spot for young Canadian artists to perform during the event. Trudeau says that this was a year for firsts: there was an added bonus due to the surplus of brazen cowboys and cowgirls as Friday

night featured an extra bull-riding competition due to an unexpected number of extra riders, along with the first midway the event has seen, though Trudeau says all of the old Stampede favourites made a return. “Saturday we had arm wrestling after the rodeo, and Sunday we had the truck pulls.” And of course, what would the Tweed Stampede be without the rodeo? Trudeau says that the rodeo events broke some records for the

Stampede. “This year we had a record number of competitors competing in the rodeo,” says Trudeau. The RAM Rodeo Tour events featured bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling, ladies break-a-way roping, tie-down roping, barrel racing, team roping and bull-riding competitions. For more information on next years’ Tweed Stampede weekend, visit www.tweedstampede.com.

(Left) Nineteen-year-old Dustin Harvey of Everett, Ontario was one of the brave cowboys that took part in the bull-riding competition Friday night during the Tweed Stampede and Jamboree. “I was only on for about three seconds, but he jumped two or three times and I had people yelling in my ear the whole time,” said Harvey. (Right) Ben Peever, a young bull-riding veteran, attempts to keep his balance during the Junior Bull Riding competition at the Tweed Stampede Rodeo and Jamboree Friday night.

Campbellford fair’s ninth annual talent show open to all ages By Sue Dickens Campbellford – Showcasing local talent for the ninth year in a row, the Campbellford Fair once again is hosting its annual show. “We have performers singing, playing country music, playing the piano and more, and we’d like to encourage clogging and tap dancing and other entertainers to come to take the stage here,” said Susanne Osterlee, who has been organizing the event since it began. “It can be any talent. We take bands too,” she added. She has been volunteering at the fair for the past 15 years. At one time, the talent show was just for young people, “(but ) when the numbers started dropping off we opened it up to everyone,” Osterlee said. There have been as many as 10 different acts on stage. “We had quite a few people register from out of town in past years,” Osterlee noted. “We like to showcase our talent from the area and outlying district. We love to see them on stage. It’s another way to draw people to our

fair.” Pat Kelleher, professional musician and guitar teacher from Campbellford, will emcee the show once more. “I do it because I love getting the kids out there performing, and also the adults,” he said. “It’s getting harder to find forums for people to perform and show their talents.” He agreed the number of participants had dropped in the last few years, so opening the show up to all ages means more people can seek their 15 minutes of fame on the stage. Kelleher and his family are big supporters of the Campbellford Fair, which is known for giving the agricultural community a chance to shine. “We’re fifth-generation farmers,” he said. “My dad makes butter at the fair. It’s a longstanding tradition for our family to be there.” You can find his dad, Paul, at the gate selling tickets to the fair on Sundays. The show takes place at noon on Saturday, Aug. 6, on the stage next to the Red Barn. To register, call Osterlee at 705-653-1744.

Protect our water – Think twice before you flush! By Diane Sherman Madoc – What you flush down the toilet can affect your municipal taxes, your drinking water, and cause mutations to wildlife. Dumping greasy food waste down a toilet can cause clogs, in household and municipal piping systems. Add to that items that do not deteriorate when flushed, like paper towels, hand wipes, common facial tissues, and a massive blockage is likely to occur somewhere down the line. Someway, we are all going to pay. Flushing pharmaceuticals causes a whole set of other issues. The average filtration system can not extract drugs from waste water, they inevitably end up in our streams, rivers and lakes, contaminating source water tables which feed aquifers supplying water for human consumption, farm animals, market crops, aquatic creatures and wildlife. Centre Hastings Councillor Eric Sandford has taken a keen interest in his role as representative on the Lower Trent Conservation committee. This is the second year he has invited the winning student of the Caring for Our Watershed com-

petition, caringforourwatersheds. com, to present their entry to council. Though both students are from the Brighton area, Sandford felt it was important for the public to be made aware of the issues. Last year the 2015 winner, Holly Tetzlaff demonstrated that the only material which disintegrates when flushed is toilet paper, all other tissues, towels and wipes do not. Microbeads in cosmetic products and prescription drugs, she explained, end up in our watersheds. Emma Ellis, the 2016 winner, focused on the long term effects of pharmaceuticals being flushed down the toilet. “Fish and wildlife are now showing signs of birth defects and deformities,” she said, “and our drinking water is being affected.” Her goal is to inform the public a simple solution is to bag up old drugs and take them to your pharmacy, where they can be properly disposed. Both girls say the bottom line is “Careless flushing of anything but human waste can have a long-term effect on the watershed, affecting both human and wild life and be Mayor Tom Deline and Councillor Eric Sandford thanked Emma Ellis for sharing her award-winning project to protect the watershed, sponsored by Lower costly to remedy.” Trent Conservation.

Local Masons to host child ID clinic at Campellford fair By Sue Dickens Campbellford – Thousands of children go missing every year and two local groups have partnered to provide a kit to parents (guardians) to ensure that the police have the information they need to begin their search immediately. A child ID clinic that provides this special kit will be held at the Campbellford Fair, in the Red Barn, on Sat., Aug. 6 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and it’s free. The event is being sponsored by the Trent Hills Policing Committee and Campbellford Golden Rule Lodge. The kit collects photos, video, voice recordings, digital fingerprints, dental impressions, saliva swabs as well as traditional statistical information (height, weight, hair and eye colour, etc.).

“Masons are all about community involvement and charity and safety and our kids are our most precious possessions,” said Daniel King, Master of Campbellford Hastings Golden Rule #126. Statistics gathered by the Masonic Grand Lodge of Canada show that Ontario has the highest proportion of missing children per capita, almost 20,000 annually. “The whole point about this clinic is all the information is formatted in such a way it is specifically accessible by the police. We’ve got everything exactly the way they need it so they can start the process of tracking down these kids if they are missing, just like that,” said King, snapping his fingers. The completed CD with the information is given to the parents A free child ID clinic will be held at the Campbellford fairgrounds during the fair weekend: from left, Jim Nixon, vice president of the Trent Hills Com(guardian) and nothing is kept on file munity Policing Committee; Laura Vickers, treasurer of the policing committee; and Daniel King, Master of Campbellford Hastings Golden Rule #126.
