The Earl is coming! All ranks can raise a jar By Ross Lees CFB Trenton - A project now under way here may prove to be the catalyst for social events transpiring well into the future on the busiest air base in Canada. An all-ranks social house is now being constructed in the old junior ranks Astra Lounge by former television personality Damon Bennett, who is best known for working with Mike Holmes for nearly 10 years on the Holmes Makes it Right, Holmes Inspection, and Holmes on Homes programs. For four years, Bennett has been establishing his own business and the Earl of Bessborough Social House is one of the projects he’s working on. Bennett said he lasted so long on Holmes on Homes for two reasons – first that Mike Holmes was really great to work for, but also because they were also helping people every single day. “That helps you get out of bed,” he noted of working on projects that help people have better lives. “It’s a passion of the heart, and I think that’s where I made a decision in my life early on with Mike that, no matter what we went forward doing, I would always try to do something that also touched my heart as well as my pocketbook,” he said. “Doing stuff for your pocketbook your whole life is a very shallow life.” The project at CFB Trenton falls emphatically into that category, as far as Bennett is concerned. He was taught early in life, at Burritts Rapids, near Ottawa, about honouring and respecting those who don the Canadian Armed Forces uniforms and represent their country around the world, whether it be in peacekeeping missions or in global conflicts. He saw this project as an

opportunity to demonstrate his respect, and do something significant for the military. “So that’s how I ended up here,” he said as he took a break from the project to talk with a local journalist. The idea for the social unit came about at the 8 Wing Operations Mess Dinner last October, according to Bennett and 8 Wing Commander Col. Colin Keiver. Bennett gave a very brief speech at the dinner as the guest speaker in which he noted how much he admired the work and commitment of military personnel. Later in the evening, over a beer with Keiver, Bennett mentioned that he would love to do a military project at some point. Keiver’s ears immediately perked up and he replied, “I just might have a project for you.” Keiver explained the idea of an all-ranks social house for the base to replace a couple that had disappeared, along with a couple Second World War buildings a few years ago, and a feature which the base has lacked since. The project was brought to Keiver’s attention by 8 Wing Chief Warrant Officer Darcy Elder just after Keiver took over command of the base, noting the topic had been discussed but hadn’t gone anywhere. “We just decided to energize it and see where it went,” Col. Keiver recalled of their discussions, quickly adding that he does not think the project would have evolved without that completely coincidental sharing of a brew with Bennett at the Mess Dinner. “Damon and I still joke; it began over a beer and it will finish over a beer,” said Keiver with a smile. Bennett expects the project to be completed by mid-October, but at latest, well before Christmas.

Stirling – The Stirling Library Board, already down one member as a result of the resignation of Denyse Mouck in July, is now missing two more. Stephanie Monk has left Stirling and moved to another province, while Stephanie Blake handed in her resignation on Thursday, Aug. 11. Blake said her resignation is “because of the harassment of the library staff, and putting up roadblocks. I just felt it was wise to leave.” Blake put the blame for the discord on board chairman Councillor Dean Graff and his fellow council appointee, Deputy-Mayor Bob Mullen. “I think the councillors have meddled excessively,” she said. She said she is a firm believer in the importance of the library in the community and wants to ensure that it remains. Because of that, she still plans to attend board meetings.

Graff said Monday, Aug. 15, that he only received Blake’s resignation letter earlier that day. He refrained from commenting on the situation. During Monday’s council meeting, resident John Rock asked about the makeup of the library board. “There’s been no change since the election,” Mayor Rodney Cooney said. “It sounds to me like the library‘s being nickelled and dimed,” Rock commented, but Councillor Jeremy Solmes was quick to point out that the library budget was not cut this year. “Everything‘s good,” said Graff. “The hours have not been cut. Staff has not been cut.” “We will be looking for new [library] board members,” added Mullin. “We’re in a bit of a pickle, because we don‘t have a board to make that decision.” Graff said a planned board meeting in August was cancelled, but there will be a board meeting at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 20.

By the time the project is finished, Bennett will have spent a year in and around Trenton working on the project, actually sleeping on the base on nights when he was too tired to make the drive back to Toronto. “As we get closer to the finish, my crew and I will do that much more often,” he said. Military involvement has been one of the concepts he worked towards from the beginning, and is hoping military personnel and perhaps even some veterans will drop in and see what is going on. “We would like military involvement to the degree military personnel want,” Bennett said, adding that he would like veterans to just drop in and visit. “We won’t put a hammer in their hands because they have already done their service.” Bennett, in telling the story of the This is a portrait of the Earl of Bessborough in all his finery. project, realized it would be al- project. the beer with Keiver when the projmost exactly a year working on the It’s a sure bet he’s going to enjoy ect is finished.

Quinte West – Pat Clark, better known as “Mr. Music” and Quinte West Councilor Duncan Armstrong, are organizing #QuinteWestHipFarewell, a webcast of the concert Gord Downie, frontman for Canada’s renowned rock band the Tragically Hip, will perform despite battling cancer. Downie, who has been diagnosed with an incurable brain tumor, has been touring with the Hip across Canada this summer. The tour comes to and end in Kingston on Saturday, Aug. 20. The live event being touted as “The Tragically Hip: Man Machine Poem Tour” will be broadcast by CBC from the K-Rock Centre in Kingston while venues throughout Canada are webcasting the live show. Clark and Armstrong decided to investigate the idea about webcasting the show in Quinte West while in attendance at a recent Concert in the Park event at Fraser Park. The Centennial Park Amphitheatre was first considered but weather and the need for darkness were factors that changed their minds to holding the event in the auditorium at Trenton High School. Aside from working together on the Canada Day Committee for a number of years, this is not the first time that

OPINION

Female athletes’ time to shine

Is 2016 the New 1936? Hegel remarks somewhere that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce. Karl Marx, 1852 We would all prea farce to a tragGwynne Dyer fer edy, so let us hope that Marx was right. But he has been wrong a few times in the past, so we must entertain the possibility that what awaits us is tragedy. The “first time”, in this instance, was the 1930s, when the painfully slow recovery from a global financial crash led to political polarisation, beggar-my neighbour trade wars, and the rise to power of anti-democratic, ultranationalist leaders in a number of countries. The consequences included the Second World War, death camps, the first and only use of nuclear weapons, and forty years of Cold War. Well, we had our global financial crash in 2008, and the recovery has certainly been slow. Average incomes in many Western countries have still not recovered to pre-2008 levels, and the growth of nationalist and racist sentiment is evident in major countries like Britain (the Brexit vote), France (the rise of the National Front), and above all the United States (Trump). The wave of non-violent democratic revolutions that transformed so many developing countries at the end of the Cold War ended with the failure of the “Arab Spring”, leaving a new dictatorship in Egypt and civil wars across the Middle East. In parts of Asia the process has even gone into reverse (military rule in Thailand, death squads run by populist elected governments in the Philippines and Indonesia). Authoritarian, ultra-nationalist governments hostile to the European Union have come to power in post-Communist Eastern Europe (Fidesz in Hungary, the Law and Justice government in Poland). And a trade war is brewing between the United States and China no matter who wins the US election in November. You could add to the list of worries a new ruler in China (Xi Jinping) who is more autocratic and readier to play the nationalist card than any other Chinese leader since Mao, and a Japanese prime minister (Shinzo Abe) who

promises to remove the anti-war clause from the constitution. Not to mention that addict to high-stakes international brinkmanship, Russia’s Vladimir Putin. Quite a list, but does it really mean that we are back in 1936 (fascists in power in Germany, Italy and Japan, civil war in Spain, the Great Purge in the Soviet Union), with the catastrophe of global war just three years away? Or is it just a grab-bag of local problems, failures and worries of the sort that are bound to exist in a world of almost 200 independent countries? Probably the latter. Right- and left-wing parties are a legitimate and inevitable part of any democratic society, but they both tend to spin off or mutate into more extreme and paranoid versions of themselves in times of economic hardship. It is difficult to argue, however, that the times are really that bad at the moment. Times are very hard in most developed countries for the old working class, who have been left behind by globalisation, and that is where most of the support for right-wing extremism comes from. But there really aren’t enough of them to take over the state: Trump will not win in November, the National Front will not win next year’s French election, and the Brexiteers in Britain – well, that remains to be seen. The Middle East is a disaster area, of course, but it is a pretty isolated disaster area, apart from occasional small-scale terrorist outrages in Western countries. To live in fear of a world-wide Islamic caliphate is as delusional as to hope for it. Democracy is not in retreat in Africa or Latin America, and the pluses and the minuses more or less balance out in Asia (military rule in Thailand and more authoritarian elected governments in the Philippines and Indonesia, but more democracy in Burma and Sri Lanka). Nor should we see the triumph of a couple of ultra-nationalist parties in traditionally nationalist Eastern European countries as a sign of things to come in the rest of Europe. This is not to say that the European Union will survive in the long term without major changes. We are going through a historic shift of the centre of gravity of the global economy from the North Atlantic world to Asia, and many things will have to change as a result. It is possible that the United States and China might stumble into a military confrontation at some point: that risk is implicit in the kind of power shift that is underway in the early 21st century. But we are not on the brink of any great and awful calamity in the world. It is not 1936.

It’s safe to say if you polled most Canadians just two weeks ago, few, if any could tell you who she is. This week she’s a rock star Olympian athlete who’s gracing the covers of newspapers and magazines coast to coast and is leading a Valkyrie charge of fierce female competitors who are lighting it up in Rio. Oleksiak, as most who care about sport or how Canada is faring in the Olympics, is of course Canada’s only four medal-winner at these games. She struck gold in the women’s 100 metre freestyle sprint, making her the youngest Canadian gold medalist ever. American swimmer Simone Manuel made history that night last week in the Rio pool, too, becoming the first African American to medal in the pool. Oleksiak’s four medals put her on even level with Victor Davis for the most won by a Canadian swimmer in the Summer Olympics, and give her the most by any Canadian at a single Summer Games. After tying for first in the 100-metre freestyle Thursday night, she became the first Canadian to win a gold medal in a swimming event since Mark Tewskbury in 1992. But, there cannot be enough said about the strength of the female contingent of our games athletes. As with most everything about the inexorable fight for women to gain an equal footing for men in a world still coming to grips with the simple notion of equality, women have struggled to garner the funding for training for many decades previous to these games. That has changed with a new strategy to identify medal contenders regardless of their gender and, seemingly to most of our collective surprise, women were pegged as representing our best chances to medal almost across the board. Women athletes, it turns out, were targeted for success by their individual sports organization and by federal Own the Podium funding. Not because of their gender, specifically, but because of intensely scrutinized medal potential as determined by their own records and the depth of field in their events. “We knew that in the first week of the Games, there was a significantly higher percentage of medal potential for the women,” Anne Merklinger, CEO of Own the Podium, told The Toronto Star on Saturday. “It was done pretty deliberately, working with the sports federations to target the best medal opportunities. In that sense, we’ve strategically targeted women’s events.’’ And as The Star’s Rosie DiManno noted in a

column on the phenomenon of the phenomenal impact women have made on our Games presence in Rio, the numbers are pretty impressive. “Team Canada has a 60-40 gender split in Rio — 186 females, most ever, surpassing the 163 from London 2012, including women vying in three team sports — basketball, rugby, soccer – compared to two (track and field, volleyball) for men. Thirty-seven members of the athletics team are women; 28 men. Twenty women qualified in swimming; 10 men. Five females in gymnastics; a sole male. Full complement of women in wrestling and track cycling, unlike their male counterparts…” The pride is palpable for the poobahs who oversee our Olympic hopefuls, too. “I’m so impressed with some of the clutch performances, in the synchronized diving when they came through on the fifth dive, in the team pursuit today,” DiManno quoted chef de mission Curt Harnett, himself a former cycling Olympic medalist. “And the way the swimmers in the pool have delivered time and time again.” To hear him tell it, Harnett is gender blind in looking at our athletes and how they’ve been performing. “I’ve never really thought of it on those terms, though it’s certainly been a unique thing here, with their dominance in results. “Ultimately, I’d like to think that Canada provides for young girls a field of play that later translates into valid international sports opportunities.” That hasn’t always been the case and still isn’t in many quarters. As a father of a pair of athletic young women, I know for a fact sports organizations like Rugby Canada have not, until very recently, presented a level playing field for funding for men’s and women’s national teams. Women, in that sport now wildly popular after our success in the rugby sevens game in Rio, had to go begging for sponsorships and donations to make national and international competitions and many still do. We’re not telling parents of kids who play hockey, ball or other sports anything new, either. But, the point here is that we’ve finally, if not admitting it openly, crossed a gender barrier in funding, training and support that has produced the results we’re seeing in Rio. However you look at it, it’s pretty damn exciting to see women hog the spotlight on a world stage and bring accolades to Canada for helping make it happen. Go Canada! Alez les femmes!

Reviewing Officer Lt.-Col.

I’ve had a very happy and successful 28-year career in the regular forces.” Working in the national headquarters for cadets made him especially aware of the premium youth program the cadets provide to 53,000 Canadian cadets and close to 5,000 Junior Rangers. He noted today’s cadets get great opportunities within the cadet training programs, but that there are also other opportunities they should look into taking advantage of, like the youth council being set up by the Minister of Lt.-Col.

The cadet program strives continually to reinforce its five key principles, he said, to invite all youth from all different backgrounds to get involved; to instill Canadian military views in the participants, including the values and ethos of the military

more succinctly for the cadets. “The main purpose of cadets is to produce good Canadian citizens through leadership training, self-discipline and, most important, to discover your own initial potential in the process of forging you into young adults and future leaders,” he said.

Campbellford – What do you think of when someone says they paint nature art? That is the question Dorothy Siemens poses as she brings her paintings to Campbellford for a solo exhibition at the library. “If you think of delicate, realistic paintings of wolves in winter or floral landscapes, then you’re in for a surprise,” she said. “The title of my exhibition, Natural Expressions, should be a hint that you’re going to see a more expressive, interpretive version of nature art.” Siemens’ bold, vibrant paintings “celebrate nature with bright colours, oversized imagery and a good The work of Dorothy Siemens is now on display at the Campbellford Library dose of imagination,” she added.

424 SAR Sqn. Shows kids the reality of the rescue business

Batawa - Students at the Batawa Ski Hill’s Eco-Adventures day camp Friday morning got a chance to see first-hand what the life of a 424 Squadron Search and Rescue (SAR) crew can be like. Originally slated to make an appearance at the camp at about 10:15 a.m., the visit was cancelled when the crew was tasked for rescue mission. Just after the news had been broken to the students, a subsequent call came back in telling camp director Lacey Hudson the mission had been stood down and the 424 Sqn SAR techs MCpl.

Council squabbles again – this time over who’s fit to oversee integrity By Sarah Hyatt Brighton – Council here will yet again install a watchdog to ensure “integrity” over its deliberations. On Monday evening, CAO Bill Watson brought forward a recommendation to council to appoint John Ewart as integrity commissioner for the municipality. “He’s well-known to this council and to me,” said Watson. “He’s known for being very reasonable and approachable – he’s plain-spoken.” Watson said Ewart seemed like the perfect fit for the job and felt confident in his recommendation, given Ewart’s work in a number of neighbouring municipalities such as Cobourg and given that he knows the terrain. Ewart serves as integrity commissioner for Cobourg and other nearby municipalities. “I know there’s been some discussion around how this is appropriate,” acknowledged Watson, as reports on social media earlier indicated Andre Marin; the former Ombudsman of Ontario, had expressed interest in the position and hadn’t felt the process of selection thus far had been fair. In e-mail correspondence read aloud at the meeting, sent to Mayor Mark Walas and also posted on social media, Marin expressed concerns over not hearing back from the mayor regarding the position and that the selection process should be open and transparent. He asked that council defer the CAO’s recommended appointment until a transparent competition had taken place and provided candidates the opportunity to be vetted on their qualifications. Watson says the Law Society of Upper Canada recognizes 28 legal professionals identified as specialists in municipal law – Ewart is one-of-three more local candidates and one-of-17 of the private practice candidates. Marin is not on the list, he later noted, when asked by Walas if he was. Walas, addressing concerns that were aired on social media, read aloud a reply to Marin. Walas said he did reply to Marin’s e-mails and passed his subsequent requests to staff. “Recommendations come from staff on the use of professional services which are presented to council for discussion and decision, as is the case in tonight’s meeting,” he said. Walas encouraged Marin to attend to hear the CAO’s report and council’s discussion. “This report is being tabled in an open meeting and is a clear example of an open transparent and accountable process – for you to suggest otherwise is disappointing,” he continued. An integrity commissioner oversees issues of corporate governance and appropriate behaviour in regard to the conduct of municipal business in the public domain, Watson explained in his report. In the event a municipality does not

appoint a commissioner, and an issue or complaint is raised, issues are then referred to provincial government for review and judgment. While some, like Councillor Mary Tadman, were prepared to support the CAO’s recommendation Monday, adding she was “very comfortable” with the appointment and process, given past experience with Ewart, others were not. “I believe if we behave ourselves and follow the code of conduct – this isn’t going to cost us five cents,” she said. “I have no problem with this, but if it takes another council meeting to go over the procedural bylaw that’s OK too.” Councillor John Martinello voiced concerns as to whether or not the CAO’s recommendation was in accordance with the municipality’s procedural bylaw and outlined his desire for three proposals in total to be obtained prior to appointment, to err on the side of caution. Martinello noted funds for these services had not been budgeted for and called money spent on the last integrity commissioner “a waste.” He said the recommended appointment made him “uncomfortable.” He wasn’t alone with his concerns, despite Watson’s reassurance to council Monday; he had no concerns over any violations of the bylaw in this context.

Councillor Roger McMurray said he would also like to see the appointment be a more competitive process. McMurray similarly expressed concerns of past practices and the commissioner and code of conduct being used as a “weapon.” In the last term, it was apparent the process drove councillors apart rather than uniting members, he said. And it cost tens-of-thousands of dollars, he noted. “As a taxpayer then, it was disheartening to see money wasted hiring behavioural police, because adults couldn’t play nicely in the sandbox,” McMurray said. “No one had a behavioural epiphany as far as I know.” To have the role simply appointed on the recommendation of the CAO, McMurray said it kind of reminded him of how the situation was handled previously, when Amberley Gavel was appointed back in 2012. Councillor Steven Baker said he couldn’t believe the municipality would entertain discussion surrounding the appointment of an integrity commissioner, whatsoever. “When I was elected as a new councillor back in 2014, I was approached by several members of this council and was made privy to, I guess, the horror stories of what happened regarding the code of conduct and the integrity commissioner during last term,” he said. “Those same propo-

Campbellford wins Bay of Quinte’s Division 2 in men’s soccer By John Campbell Belleville – Campbellford is the runaway Division 2 champion of the Bay of Quinte Men’s Outdoor Soccer League. With one game left to play this week,

the team will finish well ahead of its five other BQMSL rivals to capture the regular season title, and it now has set its sights on winning the cup as well. It currently has a 3-0 record in cup play and will be looking to advance to the final with a win over the Belleville

Blazers in the semi-final Aug. 23 at MA Sills. The final will take place Aug. 25. Campbellford upped its record to 111-1 in league play by pummelling Elite FC 10-3 Aug. 9, led by Erick Shannon’s five goals. The striker leads the league with 21 goals.

Blaine Thompson scored twice and has 11 goals for the season, putting him in third spot in Division 2 scoring.

NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT Highway 401 Wooler Road Overpass Rehabilitation (WP 4064-14-01) Detail Design and Environmental Assessment Study

Campbellford has outscored its opposition by 40 goals in 13 games, with No. 19 Erik Shannon accounting for one-third of the team’s offence, but the club has had a much tougher time defeating Colborne, winning twice by just one goal and another by two goals. Photo submitted

THE STUDY The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has retained MMM Group, a WSP company, to undertake the Detail Design and Environmental Assessment Study for the rehabilitation of the Highway 401 Wooler Road Overpass in the City of Quinte West. The overpass was originally constructed in 1958 and was rehabilitated in 1994. The scope of rehabilitation includes: • • • • •

Concrete deck repairs, paving, and waterproofing; Replacing existing bearings; Rehabilitating expansion joints; Constructing new approach slabs; and Concrete repairs to soffit, girders, abutment walls, and other structural components.

During construction, it is anticipated there will be long-term closures of the westbound and eastbound on-ramps at the Wooler Road interchange. It is expected that both the westbound and eastbound offramps will remain open during construction. Temporary detour routes will be established. The rehabilitation works are currently scheduled for 2017 and are anticipated to last one construction season. Construction timing is dependent on the completion of the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study and approvals. THE PROCESS This project is following the approved environmental planning process for Group “B” undertakings under the Ministry of Transportation’s Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000), with the opportunity for public input throughout the project.

Also finding the net were Erick Nestoruk, Nicholas Thompson and Brady Cross. Shannon and centre midfielder Blaine Thompson have combined for 32 goals, slightly more than half of the 60 Campbellford has scored. Shannon is in his first year with the team. He was a member of the Brighton Storm which folded last season. “It was pretty nice to get a player like that,” said midfielder Sawyer Michel, the first-year man-

Upon completion of the Detail Design, a Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) will be prepared and filed for a 30-day public review period. Newspaper notices will be published at that time to explain the review process and identify locations where the TESR can be reviewed.

ager/coach who‘s in his sixth year as a member of the team. Helping him run the team is Ben Fields, who also plays for Campbellford. The team lost just once last year but tied a pair which prevented it from finishing first, losing out to 8 Wing for first place; 8 Wing also defeated Campbellford in the semi-final for the cup. Michel said he‘s “pretty proud how the team came together [this season]. It was a relatively new squad so to see the results we got and how quickly we were able to come together was awesome.” By clinching the league title, Campbellford will move up to Division 1 next season, after a two-year absence. It was relegated to Division 2 following a last-place finish in 2014. “I‘m excited to move back up to Division 1 because I feel our team is capable of staying in Division 1,” Michel said. He added that anyone interested in playing men‘s soccer next year can email him at sawyer_michel@hotmail. com.

Bulldogs lose three; women inched out in OWL promotion match It was an uncharacteristic weekend for senior teams in the Belleville Bulldogs Rugby fold. All three senior men’s and women’s sides lost their Toronto Rugby Union matches. Toughest of the lot was the de-

feat of the Bulldogs women’s side, bowing 23-19 to the Markham Irish in a clash of the previously unbeaten TRU women’s McKenna League bracket leaders. Both sported perfect 10-0 records coming into the game, the

winner of which advanced to the senior women’s loop for Rugby Ontario, the O.W.L. – Ontario Women’s League. It’s the end of the season for the Bulldogs women, but play continues for junior

sides into August, as well as the Men’s I and II teams. Last Saturday, both men’s teams went down to defeat to the unbeaten Barrie Colts. Bulldogs

II (7-1) lost a close one 24-19 at MA Sills Park, and the Dogs’ firsts (3-5) who suffered several injuries in the first half and a torrential downpour in the second

half, fell 33-7 to Barrie II. Bulldogs men’s I and II sides are both on the road Saturday to Balmy Beach in TRU Russell Division play.

Information Session on the Proposed Prince Edward Point National Wildlife Area Management Plan

Séance d’information sur le plan de gestion proposé de la Réserve nationale de faune de Prince Edward Point

Be advised that Environment and Climate Change Canada, Canadian Wildlife Service will be hosting an information session on August 24, 2016 on the proposed Prince Edward Point National Wildlife Area (NWA) Management Plan. NWA management plans set the basis for management and permitting decisions on NWAs. Management of each NWA is necessary to maintain the natural environment of the protected area and the key features for which the area was chosen and protected under the Canada Wildlife Act. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, August 24, 2016 at 7:00pm at the Picton Town Hall. Information on the proposed management plan will be presented followed by an opportunity for local community members and stakeholders to ask questions and share their comments. In early fall, the draft Management Plan will also be posted on Environment and Climate Change Canada’s National Wildlife Area website (www.ec.gc.ca/ap-pa) for a 60-day public comment period. During this comment period, individuals, communities, or organizations can submit comments to help inform the final version of the document.

Veuillez noter que le Service canadien de la faune d’Environnement et Changement climatique Canada organisera une séance d’information le 24 août 2016 sur le plan de gestion proposé de la Réserve nationale de faune (RNF) de Prince Edward Point. Les plans de gestion des RNF constituent la base des décisions liées à la gestion et à la délivrance de permis concernant les RNF. La gestion de chaque RNF est nécessaire pour maintenir l’environnement naturel des aires protégées et les principales caractéristiques qui ont motivé la sélection de ces aires en vue de leur protection en vertu de la Loi sur les espèces sauvages du Canada. La réunion aura lieu le mercredi 24 août 2016 à 19 h à l’hôtel de ville de Picton. On y présentera de l’information sur le plan de gestion proposé, puis on donnera aux intervenants et aux membres des communautés locales l’occasion de poser des questions et de s’exprimer sur le sujet.

Art weekend lining up for Labour Day

The Rednersville Road Art Tour (fondly known as the R.R.A.T.) will host its ninth annual Art Tour this coming Labour Day Weekend. This year, the R.R.A.T. will host fifteen sites with 26 artists and artisans. Returnee studios, as well as new sites and guests, will be opening their doors to the public, displaying the artistic talents of both well known and emerging, new artists. Represented work encompasses a large variety of visual art styles, media and prices and includes felt, fiber, glass, ceramic, wood, jewellery, miniatures, and more. All work for sale is original, hand crafted and unique. Many of these studios have been with the tour since its inception in 2008 when Danuta Cromwell, a local mixed media artist on Rednersville Road, called some artists she knew, also on the “Road” and said, “There seems to be so many of us here on this short 20 kilometer stretch, we should get together and have our own ‘Rednersville Road Art Tour.’” During that first Labour Day weekend tour, the thirteen studios participating saw over 350 visitors. This year the R.R.A.T. tour welcomes these exciting and unique artists: Iris Casey, a new host, specializes in unique wire sculpture, garden art, and mosaics. Andrea Pyman-Varangu, also a new host, utilizes pure pigment soft pastel sticks to paint landscapes and still lifes. Andrea’s guests Colleen Green, utilizes vibrant colours and movement in bees wax and oil paint on wood, and Laurie McRae, an oil painter and fibre artist creates vibrant landscapes, florals and abstracts. Gayla Campney is a new guest and a beach glass artist who handcrafts work from Prince Edward County Beaches. Returnees include Florence Chik-lau and her ceramic sculptures; and Susan Moshynski, “By the Bay Studio”, watercolour, pastel and acrylic

his nature interpreted acrylics, oils and prints, and Alecia Bye, a previous year’s tour guest, and her “Wheel thrown” functional stoneware with “mocha diffusion” underglazing techniques. Also returning: Gwynn Bedford, acrylic and watercolor with her guest Brigitte Rittinger, textile and glass artist and Ilona Mayer, watercolour, oil and acrylics and Helen Steinberg with her watercolors and jewellery. Take one, two, or three days to see the R.R.A.T. studios and workplaces, start at the middle or either end of the

twenty kilometer stretch of the Rednersville Road (also known as Prince Edward County Road #3) and enjoy, as well, some spectacular views and gardens along that road that follows the beautiful south shore of the Bay of Quinte. Campbells’ Orchards will be open to offer refreshments. On Labour Day Weekend, Sept. 3, 4 and 5, studio doors will open 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., Saturday, Sunday and Monday. For more information on the R.R.A.T. tour please visit: www.rednersvilleroadarttour.com or view the tour’s Facebook page.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Make sure your butts, fires are dead out Dear Editor I am a seriously concerned citizen of Stirling-Rawdon township and for the past four weeks, since our fire ban went into affect, it seems many aren’t adhering to the ban and utterly ignoring it. I have seen dozens of people driving by and just tossing their still, very much lit cigarettes out onto the asphalt and often times, these cigarettes have ended up in dry bush. I think an editorial needs to be run to remind people that they should be putting these things out prior to tossing them out the win-

dow, and or buying an astray for their vehicle as they are now putting everyone’s homes and businesses at risk of being burnt to the ground and with water levels being a very serious issue right now, there’s no guarantee the fire departments can manage putting out a big fire. Currently there are several fires already burning, and to date, these fires are under control, but as we witnessed with the Fort McMurray fire, this can and does change in the blink of an eye. People should be reminded to put their cigarettes out prior to

throwing them out their vehicle’s window and making certain, if they are having a bonfire, that the fire is 100 per cent out. If you can still see red, then throw more water or sand on to the fire! I for one, cannot afford to move nor can I afford to replace the items in my home and I am certain, no one else can. So I strongly remind people to be more careful in these very dry times.

Wrong to question provincial commitment to schools: minister

Dear Editor, (Re: Sagonaska Demonstration School) Since becoming Minister of Education, I have had the opportunity to see firsthand the benefits of our investments in our education system on students across the province. We have inRobyn Marlow creased education funding Stirling by 59 per cent, improved graduation rates by 17 percentage points to 85.5 per cent and transformed our education system into one of the best in the world - but we know there is still more work to be done. I am committed to ensuring that students with special education needs have the supports they need. That is why I announced (last) week that we will not be closing the provincial and demonstration schools and we will continue to strengthen supports for some of our most vulnerable students. Earlier this year, we consulted with students, families, staff and education and community partners, looking at ways to provide a range of quality programs and services that effectively meet the needs of students who attend the English-

language demonstration schools, Robarts School for the Deaf and Centre JulesLéger. Throughout the consultations, we heard from parents and students about how vital these programs and services are for students. We gained valuable insight and feedback about how to best meet students’ needs so they can reach their full potential in school and in life. I would like to thank the parents and students for their passion and commitment. Starting in the 2016-17 school year, we will begin pilots for intensive reading intervention projects in school boards to increase the availability and responsiveness of supports for students in their local communities as well as research early and ongoing assessment to better understand learner profiles of students with learning disabilities. We will also be establishing a reference group to provide guidance and input on strengthening supports for students who are Deaf or hard of hearing. This is in addition to our pursuit Please see “Wrong” on page B3

There are consequences when populace loses faith in government

Dear Editor In 2013, when the Liberals had a minority government, Kathleen Wynne, our esteemed Premier, created The Financial Accountability Office. The FAO. This was in exchange for the NDP’s backing and support. It worked for Kate at the time. Stephen LeClair was appointed the first watchdog in 2015. He has little power of course; Liberals don’t want to play ball. Accountability doesn’t work for Kate now. By FAO calculations, Ontario’s debt is an almost $300 billion. The debt has grown 90% since 2008-9 alone. The Province has $2.40 in

debt for every dollar of revenue it brings in. Interest on the debt is almost $1 billion a month. Wow. Ontario spends more on interest payments than on post secondary education. Stephen LeClair reports Kate and Charles Sousa, Finance Minister, continue to hide information, using accounting tricks and one time sell offs to survive. Shouldn’t these people be in jail? Don’t we call people who steal, lie and cheat crooks? I guess we have legal crooks in today’s world. Let’s move on to Ontario’s aborted pension plan. $70 million and not a single penny of

contributions collected; but lots paid out. The top six executives of the defunct plan will split $2 million in severance for a job that never was. The CEO, Saad Rafi, will receive more than $825,000 for less than six months work. Do the math. Saad ran the Pan Am Games, which the auditor general reported came in $304 million over the original budget, and executives including Rafi split $5.3 million in completion bonuses. Nice reward for an over budget outcome. Finance Minister Charles Sousa and his associate minister in charge of pensions, Indira Naidoo-Harris, said they felt

Wrong to question provincial commitment Continued from page B2 of legislative changes to transfer the governance structure of Centre Jules-Léger to our 12 French-language school boards

the push for an Ontario Pension plan was well worth the $70 million. Go figure. Some analysts compare this cavalier mentality exhibited by politicians to what is happening globally. The rise in Donald Trump’s popularity; Brexit; Nice and Munich shootings; Turkey’s failed coup; Dallas and Baton Rouge violence between the blacks and the police. The populace is feeling disenfranchised, sick of

Willie Wonka at Stirling Theatre is sweet as candy By Jack Evans Stirling â&#x20AC;&#x201C; If you think our current crop of young people is a listless bunch of slackers, the Stirling Festival Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current Young Company production of Roald Dahlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s musical, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Willy Wonkaâ&#x20AC;? will prove you wrong. With a cast of 25 aged 10 to 20, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a famous writer said of a dog that walked on its hind legs: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that it could do it so well, but that it could do it at all.â&#x20AC;? Happy songs, colour-

ful costumes, funny gags and a group of young thespians who can dance up a storm and belt out their songs like Ethel Merman will keep you glued to your seat. Even more fun is the spectacular light show put on by director David Vanderlip, giving an impression of flying and crashing blindingly off a solid wall of bright tinfoil at another point. Thus, you have a great example of adult skills and leadership bolstering a precocious talent pool. The enthusiasm and

talent just jump right off the stage. Generous audiences have been crying for more. Supported by a twoperson pit band, music director Christopher Mallon and flutist Veronique Kwakkernaat, there is plenty of sound, thanks to batteries of speakers all over the theatre.

Willie Wonka, owner of the magical candy factory, seeks a replacement. He offers a contest of five gold certificates among his millions of chocolate bars, which entitles the finder and a parent to a tour of the plant and ultimately, perhaps, an opportunity to take it over. The prized certificates wind up scattered all over the world to different types of children. One is a glutton from Germany, one a media addict from the United States, one a spoiled rich brat from Brazil and one a gum-chewing addict. The final message here is that the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faults are not theirs, but the parents. Also, young Billie Bucket from an impoverished family right in the chocolate factory town finds one. Billie is the odds on favourite from the get goand deservedly so.

Bobby Vanderlip as Phineous Trout, the TV news reporter who interviews all the children, Alyssa Kerslake, Julia MacKenzie, Elise Jones and Carter Holmes as Willie Wonka and Dallin Whitford as the Candy Man deserve special mention as key roles. Both Whitman and young Flagler just recently finished a grueling run in the Belleville Theatre Guildâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Music Manâ&#x20AC;? show. Yes, it is a kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; show, but all the adults loved it. Yes, the choreography isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t up to Rockettes class, but it remains colourful and effective. One more note: in the Dutch and German languages, the double â&#x20AC;&#x153;ooâ&#x20AC;? sound in Gloop, is always o as in boat or goat, not oo as in too..

New road signs help to protect municipal drinking water sources Keep your eyes open for the new Drinking Water Protection Zone road signs now up in the Quinte Region. The new signs are appearing across Ontario to raise awareness about protecting drinking water sources and public health. The signs identify zones along frequently travelled roads where pollution spills could have a significant impact on our municipal drinking water sources. They are part of Ontario’s Source Water Protection Program under the Clean Water Act, which empowers communities to better protect their local water sources. About 800 of the new road signs will be installed across the province with 33 of those in the Quinte Region; 24 on municipal roads and nine on provincial highways. Look for the signs in these local municipalities: Belleville, Prince Edward County, Marmora and Lake, Centre Hastings, Madoc Township, Tweed, Deseronto

and Greater Napanee. “The signs mark sections of road where accidental spills could travel quickly to a public drinking water source and contaminate it,” says Keith Taylor, Source Water Protection Project Manager at Quinte Conservation. “In the event of a spill, emergency responders can notify Ontario’s Spills Action Centre so quick action will protect the public drinking water source and public health.” Quinte Conservation assisted municipalities to identify precise locations for the new signs and facilitated a bulk order this spring. Municipalities installed signs on municipal roads using provincial funding. The province is installing the signs on provincial roads and highways. The first Drinking Water Protection Zone road sign in the province was installed on Lennox and Addington Road 2 in the Town of Greater Napanee last November. The road signs are called for

in the Quinte Region Source Protection Plan. Local municipalities are working with Quinte Conservation to implement policies in the Plan since it came into effect in January, 2015. The Plan, developed under Ontario’s Clean Water Act, directs local efforts to protect and keep the sources of municipal water clean and plentiful. One of the 63 policies in the Plan calls for the new road signs. The initiative to protect sources of municipal drinking water is directed and funded by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change under the Clean Water Act. Quinte Conservation provided local technical, communications and administrative support for the planning process and supports local municipalities as policies are implemented. More information about drinking water source protection is available at Quin- Signs like this are being posted throughout the Quinte region in places where pollution could impact drinking water sources.

Can dams cure or cause drought? The Weather Network reports, “22 of 31 watersheds throughout southern Ontario are reporting some level of drought conditions (as of July 29). Ten watersheds have advanced to Level 2 (moderate drought), including most watersheds in eastern Ontario, plus the Hamilton and Grand River watersheds. At this level, local residents are asked to voluntarily lower their water usage by 20 per cent. As of August 4, three watersheds in southeastern Ontario (including the Moira River watershed area overseen by Quinte Conservation) have advanced to Level 3 (severe drought) and residents are asked to lower water usage by 50 per cent. In such times of drought, people often begin to think about dams on our rivers and streams to retain and manage water. But - Dams Have Two Sides. Canadians have proudly built dams since there were Canadians. Dams and the power they harness are commonly described as “green” and “renewable,” but there are several disadvantages to dams. They

are not totally “green” and they can irreversibly change a river. The water may be renewable but these river habitats are not. This is a story we don’t often hear because dams are very advantageous to one species: the humans. Dams to Regulate Water Levels During settlement, dams were the major source of power; they ran sawmills for lumber and grist mills for flour. No longer major power sources, many dams now just regulate water levels for recreational power boaters in our lakes and canals and increase the real estate value of cottages and retirement homes. The role of those dams is no longer vital and it may be beneficial to consider these dams as optional. Using dams to regulate water levels should be contrasted with the disadvantages. Sound decisions are not possible otherwise. There is a large base of knowledge that explores the ecological effects of making variable water levels more constant. Most river and lake watersheds

on the Canadian Shield have naturally variable water levels. Often variation is extreme, from boulder-rolling spring runoff all the way to just wet rocks in late summer. Regulatory dams that enforce even slight changes in water level can deliver extreme impacts to the ecological processes in rivers and lakes. Those impacts include: Preventing seasonal oxidation of organic matter exposed to air during low water and allowing organic matter to fill lake beds faster. Decreasing oxygen concentration in the water by heating the water and by reducing the mechanical mixing by whitewater flows. Removal of breeding sites for fast water species and removing the flow that delivers food to species that feed by filtering. Removal of upwelling sites where current flows cause vertical currents to move nutrients up into the sunlight to increase phytoplankton production for the food chain. These are a few examples of the major ecosystem impacts of

forcing water levels to become constant. Beaver Dams Beavers were the 0riginal Canadian dam builders, and beaver dams are often cited as having only beneficial effects on ecosystems – that point can be debated, too. Beaver dams do cause an increase in diversity of plant species which causes an increase in bird species diversity. Essentially these effects result from the beavers inserting small lakes into a previously flowing stream. Lake plants and lake birds follow. With time the beaver pond fills with rich organic matter and silt trapped from the stream. A beaver meadow results and has species that differ markedly from the surrounding ecological community. Beaver dams have many of the basic impacts of human dams but the ecosystems are better able to adapt to those impacts because the effects are temporary. As the beaver population changes, so do the effects of beaver dams on ecological processes at the landscape scale. Like older human dams, beaver dams deteriorate and can be washed out by high water. For both beaver and human dams, poorly planned placement of buildings and bridges allows economic damage. Beaver ponds also trap very large amounts of silty sediment that is nutrient-rich, especially rich in nitrogen. If a backhoe removes all the foundation of a beaver dam right down to bedrock, all the nutrient-rich sediment stored in the bed of the pond can be washed downstream and change the bay of a lake from moderately nutrientrich to algae-filled overnight. Dams for Energy Dams to generate electricity are newer and usually larger but are often built in the same locations as older dams simply

because that is where engineers can harness falling water. The electricity that these dams generate is often considered vital but a significant fraction of it is for export – for profit. These dams also are valued as mechanisms for the storage of electricity produced above the ongoing demand. That excess power can be used to pump water back up above the dam to be used to generate more electricity at times of higher demand – usually called pumped storage. When a dam floods areas of terrestrial or shallow wetland habitats, one of the first important changes is an increase in methylated mercury. The mercury comes from the bedrock. Without methylation, mercury does not enter living systems. Methyl mercury is produced when methane (CH4) is produced by the decay of organic matter without access to oxygen. High levels of methyl mercury have been found associated with many hydroelectric dams. However, the effects of high levels of methyl mercury on natural systems are not well known, but we have seen the effects of methyl mercury in humans. It affects the neurological system and has been called Minamata disease. First Nations people in the Wabigoon-English watershed of northwestern Ontario have felt the effect of this toxin, although in that case the mercury came from a pulp mill. The water held back behind a dam is called an impoundment, and this water changes the global water cycle. Water has a very high capacity to store heat, so when the surface area of the water behind a dam is increased, it is heated more by the sun. This causes a significant increase in the evaporation of water vapour and carries more heat into the atmosphere. More

water vapour and more heat creates feast or famine rainfall – just what we are seeing. So, rather than being a cure for drought, dams can be part of the cause. As global warming increases, this effect will increase. The warmed surface water will allow greater algae growth and favour invasion by other algal species, including toxic bluegreens. If the dam overflow is at the surface, then warm water constantly flows downstream, changing the environment. Coldwater habitats are eliminated. Caddis fly species are among the first to go, followed by Speckled Trout, Atlantic Salmon and (non-native) Brown Trout. Smallmouth Bass take over. Fun to catch but less diversity. Dams as Barriers Dams are barriers in streams and rivers. Speckled Trout do not jump over barriers – even low ones. Unlike Pacific Salmon, Atlantic Salmon also are very poor jumpers. Such species are prevented from getting to upstream spawning grounds. Their populations along a stream are broken into smaller subpopulations by barriers. These smaller populations separated by barriers are at higher risk of local extinction due to their small numbers. Ecologically, the impoundments made by dams are essentially ponds inserted into a flowing stream habitat. This is a fundamental change in the landscape and in the ecological processes there. For humanbuilt dams, this change is imposed over large areas and for long periods of time, and the ecological changes are rarely considered. Because dams can cause as many problems as they cure, those that are not replacing Please see “Dams” on page B11

Scouts see the light with help from friends Thomasburg – Scouts will no longer have to deal with dodgy propane lighting and sub-par wiring at a popular cam near here. Scouts Canada from the Algonquinte Area were joined recently by members of the Quinte Chapter of the Ontario Electrical League for some much-needed upgrades to the electrical wiring and lighting at Quinte’s local Scouts camp. According to local Scouts Canada spokesman Nick Fry, the work included installation

of upgraded wiring and LED lights and electrical receptacles in the camp longhouse and sleeping cabins. The work, said Fry, took place at Camp Sagonaska – Vanderwater Park, Thomasburg. The camp is run by the Algonquinte Area and is available to all Scouts and Guides as well as Cadets and other community groups and is open and accessible all year round. Fry said the generous donation of time and materials by the OEL electricians and local

branches of Guillevin International and Sesco Incorporated helped “improve the lighting around the facilities and in the buildings and to provide a safer environment for all camp users and to reduce the use of the propane gas lighting fixtures…” Local electricians taking part included those from Mike Hunter Electric, Anything Electric, Parallel Electric, Electricians from across Quinte chipped in to help wire up and install lights at Scouts’ camp facilities at Camp Sagonaska, at Electrix, Stewart Electric, Vanderwater Park, in Thurlow recently.

New pastor for three Tweed area churches By Brett Mann

Reverend Long was born in Belleville and ordained in Pembroke in 2009. He previously worked in sales and marketing. “We had our own business, a Habitat for Humanity-type store where we sold recycled materials. It was one of the first such stores.” With his wife Jane and son Jeremy he has recently down-sized to a smaller home in Trenton. A daughter, Nicole, lives in Toronto. Describing the ministerial re-

sponsibilities of United Church ministers, Reverend Long said, “I’m the leader but they’re all ministers. I give them the tool kit. I’m really excited about that.”

Tweed - Reverend Norman Long began a worship service at White LakeBethesda United Church recently by recounting his life growing up on a century farm in Tyendinaga Township. He remembered riding in the back of his father’s truck with friends and livestock as his father drove calves to the 4-H competition. Reverend Long, the new minister for the “three-point charge” of White Lake-Bethesda, St. Andrew’s in Queensborough and St. John’s in Tweed seems like a good fit for serving rural congregations, and comes with a reputation for providing good pastoral care. Reverend Long is replacing the recently retired Reverend Caroline Giesbrecht, spending his time getting acquainted with members of the three congregations and preparing to volunteer at a plowing match food booth this summer to be operated by all three churches. He presents as a relaxed, approachable pastor who likes to inject some humour into his weekly services. “It’s a co-operative relationship,” says Reverend Long. “The church has limited resources at this time so shared resources is really great. It’s Reverend Norman Long has begun a one-year appointment as minister of a good pastoral ministry. The church St. John’s, White Lake-Bethesda and St. Andrew’s (Queensborough) United is really connected to the community, Churches. “I felt called to Tweed,” he said. Photo by Brett Mann

lots of help to the community, lots of work being done. They seem to be really caring of each other too, which is really nice. They’ve been very caring with me, right from the start.” Reverend Long comes from a church in Frankford and he felt the need to move to a full-time commitment. “I needed fulltime work and I felt called to Tweed.” His current ministerial appointment is for one year, but “I’d be open to staying longer.”

4-H – It’s not just for farm kids says ambassador By Sue Dickens Campbellford – More than six months into her tenure as one of six 4-H Ontario ambassadors, Elaine Jeffs has been promoting the organization with positive messages and tackling what she said is “the stigma that it is just for farm kids.” The first ambassador at the provincial level to represent the Northumberland 4-H Association, Jeffs knows she has had more than her hands full with recruiting new members and sharing the 4-H story. She also has to present her message in a modern age where modern technology and the voices of animal activists are also affecting her role.

Chosen from a group of 17 people who submitted applications, nine of whom were interviewed and six chosen, Jeffs has been taking her role in stride. “My main job is to promote 4-H to people who don’t know what it is and make sure I have a positive image because there are people like animal rights activists who think that 4-H is all bad and we are mean to animals because we tie them up and people just don’t understand the whole story so it’s good to get that out,” she said. “I think with social media, people can take things and distort it so I think it’s good to have positive voices in agriculture.” Growing up with three siblings, Elaine,

the daughter of Doug and Jennifer Jeffs, who operate a dairy farm near Campbellford, said participating in the 4-H calf club became one of her favourite experiences. But she is quick to point out that, “4-H isn’t just for farm kids anymore. I’ve taken the yoga club and gardening club; 4-H is definitely expanding and evolving.” She noted she couldn’t do it without the help of sponsors UPI Energy and GROWMARK Inc. “This is definitely a very exciting time for me,” she said. Jeffs will be attending the University of Guelph in the fall and is enrolled in the Bachelor of Science and Agriculture program.

Stirling Council reverses decision to reduce school crossing guards By Terry McNamee Stirling – When students return to Stirling Public School this fall, there will still be three crossing guards to see that they safely cross busy streets. Faced by a room filled with parents, crossing guards, bus drivers and citizens at its Monday, Aug. 15 meeting, council changed a decision it made this summer to reduce the number of guards to one. Instead, all three guards will remain on duty. Earlier this summer, council sent letters to the three crossing guards to notify them that the requirement for school crossing guards has been eliminated with the exception of one position. The crossing guards who lost their jobs were then invited to reapply for the remaining position. Now they won’t have to do that. One of those guards, Tina DeVries, appeared as a delegation at Monday’s meeting, backed up by approximately 30 people who wanted the guards to remain in place. Citing safety issues, she asked that council rescind its decision. She said that, since the new school replaced the three previous schools about three years ago, there are no longer staggered times for buses and cars dropping off and picking up students. This,

she said, has resulted in 13 buses and about 200 cars entering and exiting the area while students are going to and from school. “This causes severe congestion of area roads and sidewalks, with the increased risk of pedestrian mishaps,” she said. A letter also was submitted from County Bus Service Limited expressing concern with safety should the number of crossing guards be reduced. Mayor Rodney Cooney said the money for the crossing guards was taken out of the budget in February. To put it back, he said, would require adding a 1.5 per cent increase onto the tax assessment in January 2017. “We don‘t have it in the budget for two crossing guards for the last six months,” he said. “In order to cover those two crossing guards for six months, we need a half a percent of assessment,” the Mayor said. “You all understand, it will be a one and a half per cent increase next year.” He said the original decision actually became official on July 18. Cooney asked for and quickly got a motion on the table to rescind that decision. Council passed it immediately, restoring all three crossing guard positions. “So, Tina, that is off the books now,” he said.

At the Aug. 15 meeting of Stirling Council, school crossing guard Tina DeVries explained where and why crossing guards are necessary to protect the 700 children who attend Stirling Public School. Photo by Terry McNamee

“So we can all go back to work?” Afterwards, DeVries said she was “I feel great!” she added. “I’m sure asked DeVries, amid applause from delighted by the turnout of people and the kids will be much happier, and the audience, and the mayor said yes. by council‘s decision. safer, too.”

Southern Wyoming’s wide open spaces & wild horses Yes, you may experience some “tall tales” out here in these wide open spaces, but you’ll also encounter a great variety of spectacular scenery – and those magnificent, free-spirited wild horses. For More Information: www.tourwyoming.com

By John M. Smith On a recent visit to Wyoming’s Sweetwater County, I partook in a fascinating wild horse and eco safari tour with Rich Noble and his wife (www. greenriverwildhorsetours.com), and this tour was the highlight of my visit. After all, rambling about on those remote, rugged, gravel backroads through the wide open spaces was truly an adventure in itself – and actually encountering several of the magnificent horses and other wildlife, along with viewing fascinating rock formations, sand dunes, and petroglyphs, made for a great day. It’s best to tour this rugged landscape in a high-clearance vehicle with 4-wheel drive, and Rich uses a 1975 Pinzgauer, said to be an “SUV on steroids”. He brags that “This vehicle will take me almost anywhere”. He says that “It has even been used to get Hummers out of trouble.” Well, it was certainly important for us visitors to feel safe out here in this wilderness, for there were no services along this route, and cell phone reception can be very limited. We had just nicely started on our Pilot Butte Wild Horse Scenic Tour Route when we encountered our first wild horses, and this was soon followed by several other sightings. What a thrill! It was especially nice to see that these magnificent animals appeared to be quite healthy, although some were scarred somewhat from previous fighting incidences, for the males will fight for ‘the right to rule’. These horses tend to travel in groups, with a stallion having several mares and colts. We soon noticed another male keeping his distance from the ruler of a particular group, but still keeping in contact with the group – probably hoping that he could eventually be accepted into the group instead of wandering about on his own. After all, there’s strength in numbers. These wild horses are actually freeroaming herds of feral horses, descendants of the horses that were reintroduced to this area by cattle ranchers back in the 1800s, and they wander about the unfenced land in search of food and springs of fresh water. These unbranded and unclaimed horses are now protected and managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in accordance with the Wild FreeRoaming Horse and Burro Act of WHAT ARE YOU 1971. This poses CROWDFUNDING FOR? a bit of a controversial situation for the BLM, for Start your campaign now! if the number of wild horses infuellocal.com is an online platform to raise money through crowdfunding: an opportunity for a collection of individuals to make donations in support of a cause.

LIFESTYLES

The Good Earth

Dan Clost This was the situation on Friday, 12 Aug: an average temperature of 30.9 C for the first 12 days of the month, accumulated rainfall totaled 1mm, our humidex work ratings, according to the Canadian Centre of Occupational Health and Safety (for acclimatized workers – not the

Rain = Recovery for our gardens

chart for a/c office types), had been in the 30 min on and 30 min off for several weeks; last week we had 3 days where it ticked the five on and 55 off, with one day (Friday) topping the chart for several hours. Gentle Reader, I don’t care how “acclimatized” the health boffins might rate us, too hot is still too hot. Mind you I have room for lots of empathy with roofers, road builders and – the folks whom I think have the toughest weather related job – the garbage collectors. Let’s give a thought and a prayer for our agricultural neighbours, they’re in serious trouble. I surveyed the grounds of the Clost estate that evening and my gardening soul plummeted to soles of my feet. I know I love plants, but I hadn’t fully realized how much they had become part of defining who I am. However, I am an optimist and later that evening had reconciled myself to starting fresh again... next year. Moving on to Saturday at “oh-dark thirty” (actually 0410 hrs): halle-

lujah! A light rain began to fall. I know that because I was languishing in our sunroom- upstairs was far too hot for comfortable sleeping- when the scarcely remembered sound of raindrops on a tin roof roused me from my stupor. Sox and I went outside and got wet. In all, 34mm of rain fell over the course of the day, some in heavy downbursts that mostly washed away into the drains but a significant amount fell “slowly” enough to be soaked up by the parched soil. In my mind, I knew that the drought had been broken, but I was still reconciled to planting a new landscape. Moving on to Sunday at 0930 hrs: what a transformation! We have a garden again. I took about an hour to walk around and take notes because I do believe this summer is a harbinger of summers to come. I need to begin changing up both the structure of the gardens and the plants within them and these notes will strike a chord of reality when I next push my shop-

ping cart through the nursery. Annuals: zinnias, Diamond Frost euphorbia, and Dragon Wing begonia put themselves at the top of the chart for next year. Nasturtium and portulaca are also on that list and, surprise-surprise for you long-time GR’s, wave petunias have forced their way in. Perennials: sedum is now at the top of the list. Sedum spectabile “Stardust” looks terrific in open sun areas as a counterpoint to Geranium cantabrigiense “Biokovo” which will take heat but not full afternoon sun. We have the old standbys of Autumn Joy, Brilliance and Vera Jameson doing yeoman service in several beds but we’ll definitely be looking at other varieties similar to Stardust. I confess to having planted several of the ground cover varieties, i.e. Sedum spurium “John Creech” and Sedum ruprestre “Angelique”, but I’m still wary of them escaping into the lawn. Other good performers include, catmint (Nepeta racemosa “Walkers

Low’), Russian sage ( Perovskia atriplicifolia “Little Spire”) and anise-hyssop, (Agastache “Blue Fortune.”) Disappointments include both yarrow (Achillea) and coneflowers (Echinacea- believe it or not.) Shrubs: the elderberries Sambucus canadensis “Aurea” and Sambucus nigra “Black Lace” are thriving but our Sambucus racemosa var pubens, aka Scarlet Elderberry is hurting. It will be one of those removed from the planting palette. Calycanthus floridus, Carolina Allspice, is thoroughly enjoying the heat, as is the Itea virginica “Little Henry”, sweetspire but it is tucked underneath taller densely foliated plants. Viburnums have responded differently, V. lentago (Nannyberry) and V. lantana (Mohican Wayfaring Tree) are happy; V. dentatum (we have a Blue Muffin standard form) has died. The veggie garden held similar surprises, but that’s next week’s column.
