Cyclists from all over the country are doing their part to “honour the fallen, help the living” at this year’s Highway of Heroes Bike Ride.

The charity event, in support of Wounded Warriors Canada, saw more than 110 bikers depart from Bain Park in Quinte West early Saturday morning.

But before their trek began, a special ceremony commemorating Canada’s fallen servicemen and women was held.

As the sound of a single trumpet pierced the air, a hush fell over the crowd and many bowed their heads for silent reflection, as well as to honour the 159 names permanently etched on the Afghanistan Repatriation Memorial.

Taking part in the ceremony and this year’s ride was Corporal Mik MortonPopiel from Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Trenton.

Morton-Popiel noted that the event was especially important to him since he himself was a veteran of the Afghanistan War. “We got a lot of names on that wall there,” he said, gesturing to the granite memorial.

He added that the ride was also special to him because his two sons and wife would be joining him for the first few kilometres of the ride before heading home.

“It’s very important for my little guys to take part and see what this is

all about because at the end of the day, this is why we do what we do,” he explained. “It’s for them.”

Two wreathes were then laid at the foot of the memorial, one by a group of

first responders and the other by Lieutenant-Colonel Brent Hoddinott who paused to salute his fallen comrades.

Shortly after the ceremony, the sombre mood was quickly lifted by sounds

of cheering and bicycle tires skipping along the pavement as the group officially began the first leg of the second annual ride.

Hickey will have to serve 35 months on top of the 13 months (402 days) he was credited for serving before opting to plead guilty to manslaughter.

“If you’re going to resort to violence as a method to solve a problem, there will be consequences,” Justice Geoff Griffin said. “You cannot resort to fists to solve problems. There must be an understanding that we will not tolerate that. Mr. Hickey’s liberty is going to be taken away.”

According to court proceedings, Griffin made note of Hickey’s history of criminal behaviour including assault, use of weapon, breach of probation and property offences.

Orthodontist facing child porn charges due back in court Sept. 14

Belleville – A Quinte West man, who beat to death a man twice his age, will serve four years in penitentiary, it was ruled in court here last week.

Joshua Hickey, 31, pleaded guilty earlier this summer to manslaughter for beating Alvin Morrison, 63, to death after a beer-fuelled confrontation between Morrison and Hickey over a fall by Morrison’s friend, Albert Hickey, 57. When the elder Hickey fell and struck his head, Morrison was beaten by Joshua Hickey after Morrison refused to leave the unconscious Albert Hickey alone until emergency personnel arrived. The altercation occurred at a home in the Bayside area.

Belleville – A former Belleville orthodontist facing child pornography and voyeurism-related charges has a complex court battle ahead.

Charges related to Anthony Garry Soloman were addressed in a Belleville court on Thursday, Aug. 17.

Soloman did not appear in person, nor did his lawyer Matthew Friedman, of Toronto. However an agent on their behalf, Peter Girard, attended court and asked that the matter be pushed back to Oct. 12 so lawyers can seek disclosure of police details important to the case. “The disclosure may well be massive,” Girard said. “There’s a lot of it.”

Crown Prosecutor Lee Burgess objected to that delay, saying it was important to proceed quickly.

Justice Christopher Peltzer agreed and scheduled the next court day

for Sept. 14. He also announced a publication ban, which prohibits media from publishing names of potential victims, unless they’ve consented.

Soloman is facing four charges, according to the court docket. One is for making/printing/publishing child pornography, one is for possession of child pornography and two charges are related to voyeurism.

In July, Belleville Police announced the arrest of Soloman following a raid of his Toronto home where the 69-yearold is now living. Police allege he surreptitiously videotaped young female patients. For many years, Soloman operated a dental/orthodontist clinic on North Front Street at Craig Street.

News of his arrest shocked the Quinte area and lit up social media, with many expressing surprise that the man who once treated them – or their children – was facing such serious charges.

Bike ride follows 170-kilometre Highway of Heroes to Toronto He further explained that while there wasn’t a set fundraising goal for the ride, every dollar helped and that he wanted the bikers to enjoy the event.

“We want it to be an experience and a ride like no other,” he said. “It’s not a race because it’s about the education, the awareness and the remembrance.”

Maxwell said that he was both “excited” and “humbled” by the amount of support the charity has received over

From front page

In 2007, the stretch of highway from Trenton to Toronto was designated as the Highway of Heroes — it is the route that funeral convoys carrying fallen Canadian servicemen and women would take from Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Trenton to the coroner’s office in Toronto.

To honour that tradition, bikers travel alongside the 170-kilometre stretch of the Highway of Heroes until they reach Toronto.

Coming all the way from Alberta to once again participate in the ride this year was Sharon Bath, a Correctional Services of Canada worker.

Bath, who added that she had also been a former member of the military, said she wanted to participate in the ride as a way to help bring awareness to “invisible injuries” like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

“I wanted to help others,” she said.

“I’ve even seen PTSD where I work as I work in a prison and there’s trauma there (too).”

As for the most rewarding part of the ride, Bath said it was getting to connect with her fellow riders and to share the ride’s motto of “honour the fallen, help the living.”

“The best part is meeting people and building friendships and camaraderie,” she said, “but also honouring those that have scarified their lives.”

Wounded Warriors Canada is a pri-

the years and still receives to this day.

As for his final words of encouragement to the riders, he said he wanted to make sure that they knew that they “make our programs possible as well as change lives and save others in some cases.”

The riders left Bain Park promptly at 9:30 a.m. and headed onto RCAF Road to begin the first part of their two-day bike tour.

The charity currently supports 13 mental health programs and helps an average of 2,500 to 3,000 people in Canada each year.

Wounded Warriors Canada executive director Scott Maxwell added that The riders set off on their trek along the Highway of Heroes where they over the past two years, the ride alone will travel from Trenton to Toronto – an approximately 170-kilometre has brought in close to $250,000 for the distance.

Women ‘Thrive’ at Belleville wellness centre

BY CHRIS MALETTE

Belleville – In the shadow of Belleville’s towering city hall is an oasis for women in the heart of a city lacking in places that offer so much diversity of services in one place.

It’s called She Thrives and it is housed in a stunning repurposing of the historical former McDougall Building at 161 Front St., flush in the heart of downtown.

“She Thrives is a place for women to take off their super hero capes and get the kind of support they need physically (maybe from our pelvic health physiotherapist - there are only two in Belleville!), a yoga class to relax the mind, or maybe some guidance from our certified life coach that will help take a woman who feels lost in her life and get her on a track to peace and happiness,” said spokeswoman Annie Hoza.

Co-owner Sarah Hutchison, with business partner Cristol Smyth, operate other women-centric clinics and spas in central Ontario, but Hutchison said Belleville is unique in it’s allunder-one-roof diversity of services.

“We have other, specific places in Northumberland County, but when we decided we wanted to have such a place as this, with the varied scope

of services and spaces we offer, we building,” she said of the century-old couldn’t find anything in Cobourg, for business block that has housed insurinstance, that fit the bill as with this ance offices and those of lawyers in

recent years.

“We just love this space, as do our clients, and there are just so many attributes to it that serve the various services we offer. We didn’t want it to be just another yoga and massage location.”

The services offered at She Thrives range from massage therapy, to yoga, meditation, Reiki and Bowen therapies, physiotherapy the aforementioned pelvic floor therapist, naturopathic medicine and life coaching. When asked about pelvic floor therapy, Hutchison explained it is a specialty that deals specifically with strengthening and improving functions of the muscles and structure of the lower pelvic region in women, primarily, as well as men, who may have had prostate surgery.

“I’m sure it’s not a secret that, for 70 per cent of women of a certain age and after child years, there is some bladder and incontinence issues,” explained Hutchison. “Our therapist is specially trained to do some remarkable things to help people strengthen and lessen the impact of those issues.

It’s really quite remarkable.”

The building offers a myriad of rooms that have been handsomely and brightly refinished and refurnished

and the yoga studio, alone, is a warm, inviting place where clients are almost instantly at ease with soaring windows and streaming sunlight to the antique fireplace in one corner for the colder months.

“With She Thrives comes a community of support,” said Hoza. “Women from all walks of life are accepted and warmly welcomed into our group of women or ‘our tribe’ through our women’s groups and classes.”

Though She Thrives is a predominantly a women’s facility it does offer Thursdays as a Family Day. “We do this because our husbands, significant others, brothers and children are all part of our lives and can share in what we’re experiencing here,” said Hoza.

Hutchison said while the centre has been open since May and the reputation is growing, She Thrives is still seeking a couple more specialities, including a psychotherapist and aesthetician.

“It’s all about feeling good inside and out,” smiles Hutchison of the search for the right specialty practitioners.

Our TMH, TMH Foundation join QW council in doc hunt

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Quinte West -- Recruiting family physicians to work in Quinte West will soon become a three-way responsibility.

Quinte West council passed a resolution Monday, Aug. 21 to put $50,000 towards a plan being championed by Our TMH and the TMH Foundation, the organizations that advocate for and fundraises for Trenton Memorial Hospital, respectively.

The moves sets in place a plan for the foundation to create a position for a person who will work solely on recruiting family physicians to work in the city.

The foundation plans to put aside $50,000 of its own budget for the position, meaning the municipality’s commitment brings the total budget to $100,000 -- enough for a decent salary for the new hire and a budget for them to work with, said Phil Wild, the foundation’s chair.

He and John Smylie, chair of Our TMH, also plan to speak to Brighton council and request funding on a later date.

Quinte West has a doctor recruitment program already, similar to those in Belleville and Hastings County, which offer young doctors financial incentives for setting up practices in

Smylie and Wild said the plan is necessary. While Quinte Health Care -- the organization that runs for regional hospitals, including THM -has a staff person who works on doctor recruitment, that person doesn’t focus exclusively on Quinte West.

Meanwhile, the city is looking at a doctor shortage soon, if more doctors aren’t recruited, the pair said.

Wild said five Quinte West-area family physicians are due to retire in the coming years. Yet older doctors tend to have 4,000 to 5,000 patients on their roster and new doctors usually start with around 1,500 patients.

Therefore, about 15 doctors will ideally be needed, to replace the retirees, Wild said.

They also believe the program helps the municipality build on the successful growth of Our TMH, which is more than half way towards a goal of achieving 20,000 memberships.

The high number of memberships are showing Quinte Health Care and Ministry of Health officials that the hospital-- once rumoured to be slated for closure -- should never close.

The $50,000 commitment from Quinte West “lets (the recruitment drive) get going,” said Smylie. Wild said he hopes to have a job description written and a person hired “as soon as possible.”

OPINION

Trump: the Reagan Gambit?

Last Sunday I wrote a piece on the political crisis in Venezuela. Then on Wednesday I wrote an article on Donald Trump’s hyperbolic language about North Korea. But it never occurred me that the next Gwynne Dyer to article would be about Trump, North Korea AND Venezuela. I forgot about the Reagan Gambit.

In October, 1983, US President Ronald Reagan had a little problem. A massive truck-bomb had killed 241 American Marines in their barracks at Beirut airport.

That was more than a quarter of the total American force deployed as “peacekeepers” to Lebanon – a deployment that had already become controversial in the United States. So Reagan had some explaining to do.

In another part of the world entirely, the tiny Caribbean island nation of Grenada, pop. 90,000, had another military coup – a coup within the coup. A radical pro-Cuban politician called Maurice Bishop,who had overthrown the elected government, was executed by his fellow revolutionaries over some minor differences of opinion. A pity, perhaps, but of no more importance to the rest of the world than Grenada itself.

The Cold War was running quite hot in this period, so although the island had no strategic value the American right was getting upset about Russians and Cubans building an airport on Grenada. In the normal course of events this would probably not have led to an American invasion, but Reagan badly needed a political distraction.

On October 25, precisely two days after the bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut, the US military began a full-scale invasion of Grenada on Reagan’s orders. It was one of history’s most one-sided battles – only 19 Americans killed, although the US handed out 5,000 medals for merit and valour – but it did the trick.

A friend said to me at the time that Reagan had gone home and kicked the cat, which was true enough, but conquering Grenada didn’t just make him feel better.

There’s only room for one lead story at a time, and Grenada pushed Beirut aside in the US media. When Reagan pulled the remaining Marines out of Lebanon four months later, few people remembered to

ask what those other Marines had died for.

And now Donald Trump, stumbling deeper each day into an confrontation with North Korea over nuclear-armed ICBMs he swore that Pyongyang would never get, may be looking for a way out. So on Sunday, he said: “We have many options for Venezuela – and by the way, I am not going to rule out a military option.”

He said it although nobody had asked him if he was planning to invade Venezuela. (It hadn’t occurred to anybody that he might.) And he said it from his golf course in New Jersey. (Reagan made his Grenada decision on a golf course too). And it certainly did take North Korea out of the news for at least one or two cycles.

So be on your best behaviour, all you other governments in Latin America and Canada, or he might come for you too. But is he actually planning to invade Venezuela, a fairly well-armed country of 30 million people?

Trump has already given President Nicolas Maduro’s beleaguered regime a propaganda gift by strengthening its argument that its opponents are all traitors and American spies. Does he realise that an American invasion of Venezuela would trigger both a bloody civil war and a prolonged antiAmerican resistance movement?

Probably not. He knows that Venezuela is a superpower in the “Miss Universe” universe, but he will not have read the full briefing paper unless they remembered to put his name in every paragraph (and he may have caught onto that trick by now).

It would be nice if this threat about Venezuela were evidence that Trump knows he is in over his head with North Korea and is looking for a face-saving way out, but it’s not likely to be true. It’s much more likely to be just another example to his scattershot approach to dealing with a problem: create as many other problems as possible, and the pressure will come off.

Ronald Reagan knew he had walked into a hornet’s nest in Lebanon, and just needed to create a diversion while he found a way of getting American troops out of the Middle East. It’s not clear that Trump even understands that he is in deep trouble, and that he is at risk of starting a nuclear war in order to prevent one.

Stream-of-consciousness decision-making is unfailingly interesting, if you are using “interesting” in the sense of the fauxChinese curse: “May you live in interesting times.” But in real life, that’s the last place you want to live.

Name your poison: DEET or Lyme/Zika/West Nile Editorial by Chris Malette In a year when we’re being barraged by warnings of Lyme disease-carrying ticks and West Nile-borne mosquitos in nearby Northumberland/Kawarthas, the single, same warning is issued – take precautions, wear protective clothing and apply insect repellent.

More specifically, the warnings say those that contain the active ingredient DEET are most effective. Forget your aunt’s Avon nice-smelling baby sauce to keep these winged and black-legged demons at bay – load up on the guaranteed deterremnt, we’re told. Use DEET. But it wasn’t all that long ago when our own health authorities were telling us toe limit the use of the stuff or even stay away from it, warning it could harm young children, pets and your goldfish, too.

Now, those same authorities are telling us to lather up and lay it on.

A recent Consumer Reports survey of 2,011 adults found that just one-third believe existing insect repellents are safe for adults, and even fewer, just under one-quarter, think they’re safe for children.

Health Canada has deemed the stuff safe and, for those who still believe that DEET will make you grow a third eye or cause cancer, neither the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services nor the EPA’s Office of Pesticide Programs have classified DEET as a carcinogen. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, animal studies have not found an increase in tumours in research subjects who were given oral DEET tablets or who had liquid DEET applied to their skin. One Swedish study did find that men who used DEET for 115 days or longer faced an above average risk of developing testicular cancer. But, the CDC says the study was flawed and the results were not conclusive.

From the US Environmental Protection Agency – from the country that brought us DEET, developed, of course, initially for military use: “Based on extensive toxicity testing, we believe that the normal use of DEET does not present a health concern to the general population, including children,” said the EPA. But, it wasn’t that long ago when we were hearing news reports that Health Canada “is phasing out insect repellents with high concentrations of DEET by December, 2004.”

The department said at the time, “even though DEET is a safe product,” it was only going to allow bug repellents with less than 30 per cent concentration of DEET. Combination sunscreen/

bug lotions were banned outright.

(Hint – if you think you need more DEET, bring back some from from the United States, if you’re there, that can come in concentrations up to 99 per cent. ‘Ben’s’ is a personal favourite.)

Since 1957, DEET has been used to keep bugs at bay. It forms a vapour barrier around your skin so bugs can’t smell you.

Health Canada officials say DEET is just as effective in lower concentrations. It’s just that lower concentrations don’t last as long. (Hint 2 – The ‘good stuff’ from the Excited States lasts all day!)

Here’s what we were hammered with in 2004: Health Canada has also released some guidelines for people using repellents containing DEET: • children under six months of age should not be using it • children between six months and 12 years of age should never have it on their face and hands • children between six months and two years should only use it when there’s a high risk of complications from insect bites and only the least concentrated product should be used sparingly • children aged two to 12 years of age, should use the least concentrated product and do not apply more than three times daily. Do not apply to the face or hands • for anyone 12 years of age and older: do not use any products with a DEET concentration of 30 per cent or stronger But, today, here’s what public health officials are saying about the methods recommended to “fight the bite” to ward off West Nile and Lyme disease vectors: • Cover up: Applying insect repellent or bug spray containing DEET on clothes and exposed skin can keep pests at bay. Clothing also offers an important layer of protection. When possible, wear light-coloured, long-sleeved clothing to keep bugs out and make them easier to spot.

On hikes, wear closed-toe shoes, tuck pants into socks and stay on the centre of trails and paths.

No one is warning you not to use it on children (but, yes, you should be careful not to let little Egbert get it in his mouth.)

It’s simple, really. If you don’t get a tick or mosquito bite, you’re not going to get the diseases the insects carry. Granted, mosquito bites are more ubiquitous, depending on where you live, but we can all heed the warnings and take precautions against either using the repellant.

And, yes, that means DEET. Get over it. It works.

Heroes Youth Camp visits 424 (Transport and Rescue) Squadron

BY MAKALA CHAPMAN makalachapman@gmail.com

Trying out equipment used by paramedics and talking about crime scenes with police are just a few things local kids learned this week during the annual Heroes Youth Camp.

Now in its fifth year — the four-day program revolving around teaching kids about first responders — wrapped up with a private tour of 424 (Transport and Rescue) Squadron at Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Trenton Thursday morning.

Donning their yellow camp shirts and grinning from ear to ear, the youth excitedly took turns commandeering the pilot’s seat of a stationary CH-146 Griffon helicopter.

The campers were also given the chance to learn a bit about the C-130H Hercules aircraft by 424 member Lieutenant James Hall.

For the experienced aircraft navigator, he said he couldn’t have been happier to teach the youth about the role his squadron plays both locally and nationally.

“At the end of the day, search and rescue is about education,” said Hall.

“The less rescues that we have to do, the better. This was a really good opportunity to have (the campers) come out.”

Since its inception, the camp has become increasingly popular because of the unique opportunities it provides, said program co-ordinator Cst. Dave

Ludington of the Quinte West OPP. “Usually the reaction is, ‘Are we allowed to come back next year?’” he chuckled, adding that the parents will also ask if there’s room for them too.

But a camp of this calibre doesn’t run without a ton of community support, said Ludington, who pointed out the countless first responders who volunteer their time.

He added that it is critical to teach younger generations not to overlook the roles and responsibilities placed upon emergency personnel, and that the camp was the perfect opportunity to engage the youth in their community.

Ten-year-old Ryan Ludington, one of the 14 campers, said he had been enjoying his time in the program and was especially impressed with the equipment at the base.

“The helicopter is neat and I’ve never seen one right in front of me,” he said, adding that he now could properly identify a search and rescue helicopter if he were to ever need one.

As the campers took turns sitting in the cockpit of the C-130 Hercules, Cst. Ludington took a moment to reflect on the camp and said it was his hope that the youth would choose a career as a first responder.

“I’d like to expose our young people Makala Chapman/Metroland to a variety of different roles that they The kids of Heroes Youth Camp and several local first responders capped off this year’s camp with a barbe- can choose in life,” he said. “For me, obviously the first responder role is cue, courtesy of Smylie’s Independent Grocer, at Centennial Park in Quinte West. very rewarding.”

Swing bridge construction will lead to long detours

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Quinte West -- Frankford-area drivers will soon experience detours -- as much as 21 km long -- when the Glen Ross swing bridge undergoes construction this fall.

Details on the project were discussed during a deputation to Quinte West council on Monday, Aug. 21 Mike McLay, a senior engineer for the waterways unit of Parks Canada, spoke about the project, expected to get underway in early October and last about nine months.

He said a temporary pedestrian bridge will be placed over the lock.

However, a temporary vehicle bridge just wasn’t feasible.

“Due to the cost, we have to be careful of where we appropriate our funds,” McLay said.

The bridge connects the west and east sides of Frankford, north of the

Trenton. However, now drivers coming from Trent Street North and Glen Ross Road may have to head north and use Rosebush Road to get across to the east side of Frankford and viceversa.

Councillors said some residents have concerns about how the closure will affect them and Coun. Jim Alyea advised McLay to get signs up as soon as possible.

Mayor Jim Harrison said, despite the inconveniences, the project must go ahead, as it has been in the works for about 10 years.

The project is going ahead as part of a federal government commitment made last year to spend $267.5 million on infrastructure for the Trent-Severn Waterway.

“We’ve very pleased you’re going ahead with the project,” he said.

“I know there’s inconvenience, but I think we can live with that.”

The 8 Wing Pipes and Drums band celebrate being this year’s North American Pipe Band Champions at the 2017 Glengarry Highland Games in Maxville, Ont., on Aug. 5.

8 Wing Pipes and Drums win first competition in over a decade

BY MAKALA CHAPMAN makalachapman@gmail.com

For the first time in 12 years, the 8 Wing Pipes and Drums band has won the North American Pipe Band Championships.

The percussion and wind instrument ensemble is made up of volunteers from CFB Trenton’s Regular Force and Reserve Force, as well as civilians.

Earlier this month, they travelled to Maxville, Ont., where they played against nine other bands in their grade level at the Glengarry Highlands Games.

The band won first overall in the contest after winning best in piping and second in drumming, as well as being recognized for the best ensemble.

Pipe Major, Sgt. Josh McFarlane said he couldn’t have been more proud of the band and all the hard work that went into becoming national champions.

“It was a very, very good day,” he said. “For us to come out and do as well as we did in the first year back is pretty remarkable.”

Due to some restructuring over the past few years, the band had been unable to compete, explained McFarlane.

But now back in full force, he said the band was off to a good start.

As for what goes into making an award-winning band, McFarlane chuckled and said, “a lot of work.”

“It takes a lot of dedication, and every single one of our members has to practise a lot on their own time and then come to our rehearsals prepared.”

But learning to play the bagpipe is no easy feat and is not for the easily discouraged.

“When you first start the instrument, you know it’s going to be a journey,” he said. “Unlike other instruments where you can start and stop throughout the piece, with pipes it’s traditional that you play from the very first note to the very last note continuously. You don’t ever stop the sound.”

McFarlane went on to explain that players must develop a good sense of co-ordination, proper fingering and a strong lung capacity before they are able to take on the instrument in its full glory.

He further explained that while the bagpipes aren’t a commonly played instrument, their historical importance is paramount.

“Back in the day, the bagpipe was an instrument of war and it was used to rally the troops and march them up over the trenches,” he said. “Oftentimes, pipers were the first ones up and out and over the trenches. It was very, very noble.”

To this day, McFarlane noted, the band still plays a crucial role in helping boost morale.

Drum instructor Warrant Officer Joe Kiah echoed McFarlane's comments and noted that drums have also played an important role in the military.

He explained that the drums were traditionally used to send signals on the battle field during war and still serve as a symbol of the military.

“You can’t everyday take a platoon of soldiers and march them down the street,” he said, “but you can take this band down the street and people will know it’s the military. It’s (one of) the easiest ways to get us into the community.”

As for the competition, Kiah said it took weeks of working with McFarlane to craft the winning medleys that would complement both the pipes and the drums.

“All the drumming that we have, I wrote from scratch,” he said. “In this case, I wrote the (music) just a little bit above their level to make them work for it, and they did.”

He explained how proud he was of the drummers and the pipers and their ability to defeat the tough competition.

“We were confident that we knew that we could go in there and put a good play on,” he said, adding that it was very emotional when they were finally announced as this year’s winners.

“For myself and Josh, there was so much pride in our players and the work they put in to get where we are.”

Kiah added that going to the North American Pipe Band Championships wouldn’t have been possible without the permission and support of the leadership on Base, and that the band was incredibly grateful.

As for the future of the musicians, Kiah said they would continue to craft their skills and work together to better themselves as a team.

The Canadian Armed Forces band was founded in 1963 and continues to support 8 Wing Trenton’s integral and lodger units during ceremonial and official events.

They also often play during parades and community events such as Remembrance Day ceremonies and the Trenton Scottish-Irish Festival.

Pedal Pilot cycling for wounded warriors

When you’re always worried about how mom’s doing. Let Seasons help.

MAKALA CHAPMAN makalachapman@gmail.com

Going from wings to wheels, former pilot John Dixon is setting out with his bike to complete a 6,000-kilometre trek on behalf of Wounded Warriors Canada (WWC).

Having spent more than 25 years in the military, including time spent with Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Trenton’s 437 Transport (T) Squadron, Dixon retired from the RCAF last summer and soon began planning his next adventure.

As an avid cyclist with some new-found time on his hands, he decided to head on the biggest bike ride he’s ever embarked on — from Vancouver to Halifax.

While making preparations, Dixon said it made sense that he would choose a charity to ride for and decided to partner with WWC. “They are a very effective organization for not just veterans and military people, but also first responders,” he said. “Wounded Warriors Canada kind of fills in the gaps to what the government provides.”

He added that while he managed to leave the military “mostly whole (both) mentally and physically,” not every serviceman and woman could be guaranteed the same. He wanted to do his part to help those in need.

“They protect us and serve us every day, and they really deserve the help,” said Dixon.

First established in 2006, the privately funded organization offers various mental health programs and supports to military personnel, their families and first responders at no cost.

As for his fundraising goal, Dixon said he set his target at $5,000. But by the time he had reached Manitoba just last week, much to his surprise, he had already surpassed his objective and had reached the $6,200 mark.

“I’m pretty pleased with the response and I think Wounded Warriors Canada is pleased as well,” he said. “It does help.”

While the donations have been a welcomed surprise, Dixon added that all the well wishes and emails from the public have been a nice bonus. “I try to do about 100 kilometres a day, but when you’re up against a 15-knot headwind, it becomes a bit tiring and difficult," he said. “But, the notes and the encouragement really do help.”

Dixon said that some of his most memorable moments on the journey have been when people hop on their bikes and ride part of the distance with him. He also reflected on a time when a

It was something he said he was very appreciative of and that the single act had been just one of many demonstrations of support he has seen from the public throughout his journey.

As for what WWC thinks of Dixon’s efforts, executive director Scott Maxwell said he was honoured that the organization was selected as the beneficiary.

Maxwell then jokingly added that he couldn’t believe that someone would want to trek across the country after having already served a full and busy military career.

He explained all the programs offered by the organization would not be possible without the contributions from individuals like Dixon.

“Canadians care so much about helping our uniform service members and their families, and it’s evident,” he said. “John’s efforts will make a direct difference in the lives of our ill and injured members and their families.”

Maxwell added that WWC helps anywhere between 2,500 and 3,000 clients each year.

As for his words of encouragement to Dixon, he said to “keep it up,” and that he was looking forward to thanking him in person when he passes through Ontario.

Dixon started his journey on July 16 and said while he isn’t sure when the end date will be, he will continue to try his best to finish the entire length of his trip.

Terminate physician recruitment committee, say members SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com

Brighton — The physician recruitment and retention committee is pushing for change, saying members would better serve the community shifting in a new direction.

The committee has recommended council terminate the current committee and mandate.

“The goods news for our community is that three new physicians will be coming to Brighton,” said chair Bob Canuel, in an update to council and following a one-year review of the committee’s work. “The unfortunate news is that the very active work of the committee contributed nothing to these three new physicians joining the current great team of doctors in our community.”

The chair admits it’s been a learning process for many since the committee formed.

“The reality is, the committee isn’t able to do much when it comes to the recruitment of doctors,” said Canuel.

“It turns out that mostly falls with the Ministry of Health (and Long-Term Care) and those with the family health team as a result.”

In other words, members are saying they’d like more room to make a difference in their community. Four volunteers, including Canuel, Krista Sullivan, Barb Herrington and Penny

“We think we can leverage our experience better, to help educate our community about health care issues and really assist Brighton residents by bringing information about … We don’t want to be politicians, but we want to advocate for residents concerning issues they’re facing.”

The group would like to help with other healthcare-oriented challenges too.

“We have a lot of seniors in this area and they’re going to places like Trenton to get blood work done,” said Canuel. “We’ve got 85-year-olds making appointments out of town for health care.”

New doctors and their families coming to Brighton, along with others, must also be scrambling for daycare spots, having to look out of town, added Canuel.

These are reportedly just two examples the committee would like to further examine and look at solutions for, while working with other groups.

The committee can’t be the source for all answers, but could help with things like getting provincial health associations, mental health, age and medical-related groups and maybe even Health Care Connect into town for information sessions and the like, said Canuel.

SPORTS Campbellford student wins her world championship barrel racing division

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Frankford - Local barrel racer Amy Newman won her division at the National Barrel Horse Association’s Youth World Championships held in Perry, Georgia.

“It was very exciting (but also) super nerve-wracking,” waiting for the results, Newman said. She was “shocked” when she learned she won.

She placed first in 4D (Division) of the Teen Final with a time of 16.384 seconds, tops among the 24 riders in her grouping for competitors 13 to 18 years of age.

Newman, who’s 15, is only the second Canadian to win the division in 25 years.

Her winnings included $2,245 in prize money, $500 from one of the event’s sponsors, a saddle worth $1,600 (all American), boots, jeans, and a championship buckle to go with two other buckles she earned along the way, which she plans to frame.

That’s a pretty good return on an entry fee of $500.

Newman won with LL Beau Debutante (barn name Fly), a nine-year-old quarter horse she acquired last year before competing at the world championships for the first time, when she also made it to the 4D final.

Her now having advanced to the final twice is “unusual,” said her mother, Tina Spooner.

The competition started out with 1,200 entrants and the number narrowed to 200 riders for the finals.

They were then sorted into five divisions based on their times after two go-arounds.

The riders with the fastest times were placed in the first division, 1D, and the other competitors who were a half-second or more slower were slotted into four other divisions. The top time in 1D, or overall, was 14.86.

Newman, who was part of a 15-member contingent from Ontario that made the trip to Georgia, credited her coach, Leslie Richards, in Belleville, for being “a huge help ... She’s an amazing trainer.”

Quinte Royals midget baseball players are kings on the hill heading into provincials

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Quinte West – In minor baseball, success almost always comes down to pitching depth.

And the Quinte Moran Insurance Royals major midget team has enough hurlers to win an arm’s race.

The Royals have nine players capable of starting games on the mound and for that reason the team has a good chance of winning the Ontario Baseball Association A level championship tournament this weekend in Mississauga, said coach Chris Lisle.

The Royals capped their Eastern Ontario Baseball Association season on the weekend by finishing as finalists in the championship tournament that they hosted.

The Royals lost 11-4 to Peterborough in the final game at Bayshore park in Trenton.

It was a disappointing result, given that the Royals finished first in regular-season play ahead of Peterborough.

But they have a chance to make amends this weekend and finish the season strong.

“Absolutely – I’d put us amongst the favourites,” said

Quinte Royals player Mason Poulain swings at a pitch during an EOBA championship tournament game in Belleville.

Lisle, when asked if the team can win in Mississauga.

Last weekend, the Royals started with a 7-0 win over Clarington, then lost 5-3 to Peterborough in games in Quinte West.

They then beat Ajax 11-3 in a Saturday night tilt at Belleville’s Rotary Park.

With the tournament shifting back to Trenton on Sunday, the Royals beat Kingston 6-0 in a morning game. That earned them another date with the Tigers, who were then undefeated in the tournament.

While the Royals jumped to a 4-0 lead early, the Tigers stormed back and won 11-4 to claim the tournament. Had the Royals won, they would have had one more chance to beat the Tigers, with the tournament’s double-elimination format.

Lisle said the Tigers are among the toughest teams in the EOBA loop; they’ll in fact move on to the AA provincial championships for teams in larger cities.

Despite the loss, it’s still been a stellar season for the Royals. They finished 18-2 in regu-

lar season play and also won tournaments in Kingston on London; again, mainly on the strength of their pitching depth.

Lisle said he believes he could put every one of the team’s 13 players on the mound, if he had to; which makes them capable of winning tournaments where innings rack up over several days.

The team’s success, he said, is also a product of baseball growth in the entire Quinte region. The Royals can draw players from Belleville, Quinte West, Prince Edward County and Hastings County. There are six house leagues in this region, from which the Royals can draw players.

“All six house league associations, they’re really buying in,” Lisle said, adding that more coaches are being developed and more players are interested in attending winter baseball workouts at the Loyalist dome.

The Royals roster includes Jordan Lisle, Johnathon McHugh, Daniel Seguin, Justin Walmsley, Mason Poulain, Colin Martin, Braeden Kelly, Nolan Abrams, Lucas Gilbert, Andy Nopper, Jacob Rightmeyer, Joe Blakely and Noah St. Bernard.

Planet Fitness opens, promises a “judgement free” zone

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – The big new gym at 199 Bell Blvd. is a “judgement free zone.”

That’s a promise from staff of the new Planet Fitness franchise.

The 16,000-square-foot facility, next to Rhino Sports & Playland in the former Zellers location, opened recently and held a grand opening celebration Aug. 8.

There, staff told guests and local dignitaries that the franchise caters to the average person, just looking to get in shape.

It’s not marketed to fanatical body builders, yet strives to make a safe atmosphere, where everyone feels comfortable working out.

“Our motto is, ‘the world judges, we don’t,” said Pam Fitzgerald, a marketing director at the grand opening. “We’re all just regular people here.

Everyone’s here, just for health.”

The gym has dozens of treadmills, exercise bikes and other cardio equipment lined through the massive facility and guests can work out while watching numerous flat screen TVs. During the grand opening, it was apparent that the gym is already enjoying brisk business. Dozens of people were working out in the air-conditioned environment, away from the rush-hour heat.

The gym is open 24/7 and there’s

always staff on hand, even in the middle of the night. There’s also an in-house trainer who offers programs in small groups, up to five people.

A regular “no commitment” membership is listed as costing $10 on the franchise’s main website.

A “black card” membership costs about $22 a month and gives customers access to more services, such as tanning studios and “hydromassages.”

Planet Fitness is a franchise that started in Dover, New Hampshire in 1992. Originally, like most gyms, it had a membership fee of about $35 but in the late 90s in slashed the rate to $10, thinking the ultra-cheap rate would help it capitalize on the fitness craze.

The plan worked and today Planet Fitness has hundreds of locations across the U.S where customers work out on its trademark purple and yellow machines. The Belleville location marks the 18th franchise in Ontario, as part of an expansion plan into Canada that started just recently.

Staff say they’re sure the Belleville franchise will be successful, as people lined up to purchase memberships from a trailer outside the location when construction was still underway.

“The community has been amazing,” Fitzgerald said.

Gosport — On a perfect Thursday afternoon, members of the Presqu’ile Yacht Club (PYC) set sail on Presqu’ile Bay, with the hopes of promoting inclusion in their community and to remember lost friends.

On Aug. 17, for the 10th year in a row, the yacht club partnered with Community Living Campbellford/ Brighton and invited people with intellectual disabilities to join captains on the bay for the club’s annual sail day event.

“This is just something everyone enjoys,” said Fred Wardle, vice-commodore for the PYC, who also organizes the event.

Former PYC member George Wilkinson started the sail day event. In recent years, Wardle has taken over the initiative and with great pride.

And it would appear by the show of people participating and volunteering at Thursday’s sail day, he’s not the only one passionate about the cause or event.

Wardle didn’t have to look too far for captains willing to share their time and vessels for the event.

Others were equally as eager to help out in the kitchen for the day and volunteer their time that way.

Caroll and Phil Allison joined the club back in 2004. They help out with the sail day event every year.

For people who commit their time to take folks out on the water, the reward is seeing the enjoyment on their faces, said Caroll.

“We look forward to it each year. I think they do, too,” she added.

And that’s why the sail day event continues — it

continues to bring smiles and promote inclusion on a sunny, summer afternoon.

“It’s great to get people out on the boats. It’s an opportunity to try and experience something new,” said Donna Desjardins, director of support and services for Community Living Campbellford/Brighton.

“This promotes inclusion and everyone always leaves with a smile.”

About 24 folks through the PYC and Community Living Campbellford/Brighton partnership benefited from Thursday’s trip out on the bay. The group was divvied up onto about seven or eight boats, in pairs and threes.

They set sail for about an hour or so on the bay, before returning to the clubhouse for hotdogs, ice cream, watermelon and other summer treats.

For some, Desjardins imagines they experience “a certain sense of freedom out on the boats.”

“They usually go out and then can’t wait for the next

sail day,” she said.

In 1960, the founding parent of Community Living Campbellford/Brighton dreamed that her daughter would live in an inclusive community, at a time when doctors recommended provincial institutions.

“We believe, as Mary Cook did, that people with intellectual disabilities have the right to live in and participate in their community,” states the organization online.

The sail day event does more than just promote smiles, admits Desjardins.

“What I love most is the volunteers; they’re always so

positive and helpful,” added the director.

Desjardins says the people who participate in the sail day event get a lot out of it — they get to meet a diverse group of people, and later, they see those people in their community.

As they set sail last Thursday, the PYC remembered Jan and Lydia Foltynski, two founding members of the club. Jan died a couple years ago and Lydia just recently.

“We decided to dedicate today in their memory,” said Wardle.

Both Jan and Lydia did a lot for the club. Wardle described the pair as “very helpful.”

Lydia was always dedicating her time to help with social activities and always made sure everyone was well-fed, volunteering in the kitchen, said Wardle.

Jan was a “master sailor.” He sailed every day into his 90s, and even in his later years, he’d climb up the mast on boats to help untangle a mess for someone.

Father and sons restore Plymouth Duster for Downs Syndrome Foundation

BY MELYSSA GLOUDE

Tweed - It started as just another father-son project.

Four years of hard work later, Justin Basset and his sons Jayden and Jaren are ready to give up the Duster.

“2007 is when we began restoring it,” says Basset, the owner of the fully-restored Plymouth Duster.

“It took four years and was finished in 2011 with the help from my two boys, Jayden and Jaren. They’ve done a lot of passing tools, and going to the flea markets to pick up parts and stuff. They helped work on it when they could.”

The car, a classic 1972 Plymouth Duster, is a semi-fastback two-door coupe version of the compact-sized Plymouth Valiant, currently appraised at $45,000. For most people, parting with a car like that would be hard, but not for Basset and his family.

“You could sell it and get your money back for it, or you could sell raffle tickets, make some of our money back and put it to a good cause. It got the point where we’ve outgrown it, so we’ve chosen to raffle it off, and donate proceeds to the Downs Syndrome Foundation. So that’s what we chose to do.”

Bassets son, 17-year-old Jayden, has Downs Syndrome which makes the benefactor choice close to home.

Raffle tickets for the car have been on sale since March, with Basset and his friends and colleagues using sites like Facebook to spread the word.

“A friend of mine in Kingston, Brent Page, has sold tons of tickets from Oshawa to Ottawa. So he’s been a huge help,” says Basset.

“Tickets are going to be available until the end of the month, and that should be it. The car is appraised at $45,000, we printed 400 tickets at 100 dollars a piece, so the odds are good. One in 400.”

So far, Basset says approximately 300 tickets have been sold. The final draw is expected to be held on the September long weekend.

“We’re hoping to take the car to the head office of the Downs Syndrome Foundation in Peterborough,” says Basset.

“The head director there is going to draw the name.

Jayden Basset, 17, and Jaren Basset, 15, of Tweed helped to restore the Plymouth Duster. The car will be raffled off on the September long weekend with proceeds going to the Downs Syndrome Foundation.

Melyssa Gloude/Metroland

They said they’ve never had a donation this large before.”

Though it may be tough to say goodbye to the car, Basset says this seems like the best option for him and his boys.

“It really started out as me just wanted to fix it up and

drive it,” says Basset.

“But it went way beyond that. Every nut and bolt was taken apart. It was a full rotisserie restoration. A lot of work, a lot of hours; but this is the best way to get rid of it.

Locally owned and Operated to Serve You Better Since 1995

Representing many of the affordable and supportive housing providers in the region, the Hastings Housing Resource Centre (HHRC) along with the Housing First Working Group of the Poverty Roundtable HPE, are soliciting immediate help from communities in Hastings County.

These advocates are reaching out to landlords and property owners directly, as there is no inventory of affordable rental housing currently. An acute homeless crisis is looming and these agencies would be grateful for any new affordable units.

The Hastings Housing Resource Centre (HHRC) is a coordinating body for the County of Hasting supporting people who are currently homeless or at risk of becoming homeless to find and maintain affordable housing. Landlords typically come forward and make their listings known through HHRC but right now the gap in availability and the lack of landlords stepping up has created an acute shortage of affordable housing.

“Currently there is no affordable longterm housing available and there are no options,” Cathie West, HHRC. The call for immediate action comes at the end of July where availability of affordable housing points towards zero in Hastings County. Landlords are being asked to contact the HHRC to mitigate the crisis with any rental units that are available and/or could be made available. Anyone who can make available a rental unit is encouraged to take action immediately. “The current reality of zero percent vacancy is putting Hastings County residents out on the streets,” says West.

Affordable housing was declared a crisis in 2005 in Hastings County – re-

search at that time revealed extensive wait times for housing, growing homelessness, people of low-incomes not able to meet market rents and an increased vulnerability to homelessness was widespread across the County. Hastings County developed a progressive plan to address the need for affordable housing, for example it has various rent supplement programs in place. The rent supplements help low income individuals offset the high costs of rent to make it more affordable. Hastings County has also created more units and continues to create housing, while new builds are scheduled the need continues to grow.

“Today we have moved into an acute situation”, Cathie West, HHRC. “There is no affordable housing available. This means families, individuals and seniors will face increasing homelessness with no viable solutions in the near future.

Those looking for housing include many who are working, students, and individuals and families on fixed incomes.”

The most vulnerable group in this crisis are seniors. During 2016, 403 seniors sought housing support through the HHRC and many of these seniors were identified as being at risk of becoming homeless. This is a significant change since 2011 when the HHRC provided service to 75 seniors who were looking for housing. Additionally, there are many seniors who cannot afford to maintain their homes and the escalating costs of utilities are putting seniors at even greater risk of losing their housing.

“We are seeing multiple applicants applying for the same unit which is leaving people with low incomes and barriers, such as disabilities, left out and without shelter,” Cathie West, HHRC. On a yearly basis the HHRC works

with approximately 1,600 people across Hastings County. Their focus is on linking people in need of housing that is affordable with landlords, and housing options to get people stabilized. “We are concerned that without any housing available on the horizon we will continue to see a sharp and dramatic increase in individuals and families facing homelessness,” says West.

Although there is new construction happening the fact is, it won’t be ready until spring of 2018. “With winter looming we are concerned about those who are vulnerable”, says Durant, Director of the Poverty Roundtable HPE. “48 residents were displaced in February of 2017 which has left the community with a gross lack of housing. The Bel Marine crisis resulted in the community having to look at various options and solutions for housing which were already limited.”

“A combination of losses in the housing supply compounded by low incomes in Hastings County and escalating rental costs has lead us here. We hope it won’t come to the point where we need community centres and churches to provide shelter, and we are in desperate need of the Grace Inn shelter opening in Belleville. If landlords come forward with places to let, and our community rallies to make housing available, if vacant homes and suites are made available, potentially Air B&B suites shifted back to long-term rentals we can address the current crisis. Plans are being made regarding how we can address these housing needs as well as preparing for what could be a worsening crisis,” Christine Durant, Director, Poverty Roundtable HPE. Housing First Working Group of the Poverty Roundtable HPE calls for urgent actions to stymie the housing crisis: Calling on landlords to step up; Calling on homeowners if they have suites and units vacant to make them available immediately.

If you are a landlord or have an apartment or house you could rent you are encouraged to get in contact with Hastings Housing Resource Centre at 613969-0830.

First human case of West Nile confirmed for HKPR region

BY SARAH HYATT

Northumberland – With the first human case of the West Nile virus confirmed in the region, health unit staffers are asking residents to take precautions.

On Friday, Aug. 18, the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit confirmed a resident within the region has been infected with the virus.

“This year, because of the weather, the province is saying with the high rainfall and the hot and humid temperatures, this could be the worst season for the West Nile virus since 2012,” said Marianne Rock, manager of communicable disease control, epidemiology and evaluation for the health unit. “And it does, it makes sense when you look at the weather and the fact that the last case was in 2012.”

Health unit staffers are reporting the intense wet weather this spring and summer, combined with hotter temperatures has created ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes.

“We have also seen reports this summer of positive human cases of West Nile virus being detected in other parts of Ontario,” noted Rock.

In the wake of the news of the first human case of the virus for the region, staff is urging residents to take precautions against mosquitoes, saying the need is now even greater. As outlined above, this is the first human case of the virus for the region since 2012.

The person infected with the virus “did not have to be hospitalized and is currently recovering, so that’s really good news,” said Rock.

The health unit’s region includes Northumberland County, Haliburton County and the City of Kawartha Lakes.

“For confidentiality reasons, we cannot be more specific about the area [in which the human case of the virus was confirmed],” said Rock. “What we really want to do is drive home the message not about location, but that the West Nile virus is present within our region.”

As of Aug. 12, Public Health Ontario’s most recent West Nile virus surveillance data indicates there have been eight reported “probable or confirmed” human cases of the virus throughout the province so far this year.

In addition, the HKPR health unit detected the virus in mosquitoes trapped in Haliburton County in early July, confirmed Rock. Mosquitoes have also tested positive for the virus in the neighbouring Peterborough, Durham Region and Hastings County areas this summer.

In other words, “it’s safe to assume the West Nile virus is present throughout this part of the province,” said Rock.

As a result, health unit staffers are pushing people to “cover up and clean up.”

“Don’t be complacent, because wherever you live, it’s important to reduce your risk of mosquitoes that can spread illness,” said Rock.

The virus is primarily spread to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito.

“The biggest thing with mosquitoes is the temperature really drives them and so the hotter it is, the faster the mosquitoes will develop,” explains Rock.

What’s more, the hotter it is, the faster the virus develops inside the mosquitoes and then they can transmit the virus, the manager continued.

And while most people who get the virus do not experience any symptoms reportedly, a small number may develop flu-like symptoms, such as high fever, severe headaches, muscle weakness and stiff necks, say staff.

Symptoms usually develop about two-to-14 days after an infected mosquito bites a person.

In a few cases, people may develop more serious symptoms, including confusion, tremors and sudden sensitivity to light.

The health unit urges people to seek medical attention if they suspect they have the virus.

The cold nights and cooler fall days will eventually cause the mosquitoes to die off. But until then, Rock is stressing residents understand the current hot temperatures and wet weather in recent months has made for “prime breeding grounds for mosquito development, the wet weather and temperatures are big determining factors in the life cycle.”

For now, it’s obvious the mosquitoes are still active and pose a health risk and that’s why it’s very important people to continue to take precautions, she said.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Callahan Rapids under serious threat

HPV Vaccines

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a group of more than 100 different types of viruses. More than 40 types of HPV are transmitted through sexual contact, including genital skin-to-skin contact and oral sex.

It is estimated that about 75% of sexually active men and women will have at least one HPV infection in their lifetime. Cervical cancers make up about 35% of HPV cancers,but 65% of HPV cancers occur in areas other than the cervix – including some cancers in the back of the mouth and throat.

Cervarix Cervarix protects females against HPV types 16 and 18.Because Cervarix protects against 2 types of HPV, it is called a bivalent vaccine.

This vaccine does not protect against genital warts.

Gardasil This vaccine protects both males and females against 2 types of HPV that cause genital warts (types 6 and 11) and 2 types of HPV that cause cancer (types 16 and 18).

Because Gardasil protects against 4 types of CCS urges you to get your children 9 and older HPV, it is called a quadrivalent vaccine. vaccinated for free through publicly funded school-based vaccination programs, where Gardasil 9 available, to help reduce their risk of developing Gardasil 9 protects males and females a cancer caused by HPV.

Dear Editor, I’ve been enjoying the 800 hectares of natural beauty at Callahan’s Rapids Conservation Area for 28 years. The peace of mind this sanctuary always provides has given me an affordable summer vacation spot as well as a place to recover in solitude from various personal tragedies.

But over the 28 years I’ve watched a gradual decline in its care and maintenance. When I first visited, there were change and toilet facilities and waste receptacles were available. The toilets and waste bins disappeared decades ago, sadly replaced by illegal campsite fire pits filled with garbage. The three main footpaths have been ‘supplemented’ by a maze of rutted trails torn through the thick bush, courtesy of illegal ATV trespassers.

Seemingly Crowe Valley staff are content to sit in their air-conditioned offices and surrender our once pristine conservation area to the vandals. I’ve never once seen a uniformed conservation officer during my dozens of visits to Callahan’s Rapids. Considering it’s a 10 minute drive from Crowe Valley’s Marmora headquarters to the conservation area, I wonder why this lack of monitoring? Ditto the OPP - never once have I seen a cop car stopping all the illegal ATVs. Our local taxpayer dollars are being wasted while we wait for our public servants to perform their duties. The fish and birds, whose breeding areas are being destroyed, are voiceless. Ditto the frogs,

toads, snakes and turtles, that are having their habitat ripped up by fat and lazy ATV joyriders.

There are rare orchids in the woods which are now criss-crossed by ragged trails and illegally chopped down tree stumps. Today I watched a parade of ATVs driving downstream from the Trans Canada bridges to the rapids, a distance of several kilometers. The jerks were often churning through several feet of water, and I kept hoping they’d ruin their noisy idiot machines. The senseless damage they were doing to the habitat is hard to believe.

Simple solutions: for starters I’d like to see a couple of uniformed Crowe Valley Conservation officers in the parking lot on weekends.

Although they are empowered to give tickets, just their presence would cool out some of the garbage leavers and illegal campers. Our local OPP should also visit on weekends, and begin by issuing warnings for the first few weeks to the ATVers. Something has to be done soon, or we’re going to lose this special spot to the vandals among us.

The original donors of this sacred conservation area must be turning in their graves.

For the frogs, toads, snakes, birds, bees, fish, trees, orchids and all our other silent friends who depend on us for their preservation…

Eastern Star donates to Cancer Society Belleville – Shirley Harper, Worthy Matron of the Order of the Eastern Star Quinte #59, chose the Canadian Cancer Society as the recipient of this year’s Worth Matron’s Project.

Harper and Ron Carter, the Order’s Worth Patron, presented Karen White, CCS Volunteer President, with a cheque for $1,345. Harper has been involved with the Canadian Cancer Society for 26 years, as a volunteer driver with the Wheels of Hope program, which assists local cancer fighters with travel to cancer-related appointments.

OES is allocating their donation to cancer research. In light of, the 2017 cancer statistics conclusion that nearly one in two Canadians is expected to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, research is a priority for those working to fight cancer, the fundraisers say.

“Research is at the core of our work,” says Jessica Klein, Community Fundraising Specialist for CCS. “Last year we Shirley Harper and Ron Carter (middle), representinvested $37.4 million in cancer research across Canada.

TRAVEL

Hiking on the formidable, inspirational Appalachian Trail

BY JOHN M. SMITH

On my most recent visit to Virginia, I did a hike on a small section of the Appalachian Trail, and it proved to be quite a workout. After all, it traverses some very rugged, mountainous terrain.

However, my experience simply made me marvel at the determination, dedication, and perseverance that are shown by the true thru-hiker who walks the entire route, from end to end, on a single trip. After all, the Appalachian Trail Conservancy claims that the Appalachian Trail is “the longest hiking-only trail in the world”, at a length of about 2,200 mi./3,500 km., and it passes through 14 states. It extends between Springer Mountain, Georgia and Mount Katahdin, Maine.

The average thru-hiker would be on the trail for five to seven months, so this is not for the faint of heart. However, it has been completed by people of a great variety of ages – from as young as five (a boy who walked the trail with his parents) and as elderly as in the late 80s. A pair of sisters wrote a book about doing the entire trail barefoot. Some participants have even jogged/ran along the challenging trail. I believe that ultramarathon runner Scott Jurek holds the present record for the fastest completion time: 46 days, 8 hours, and 7 minutes. In covering an average distance of about 50 mi./80 km. every day, he admitted that he “faced injury and feats of physical and mental toughness like never before”, but he achieved his goal of being the fastest.

Only a small percentage of the hikers who attempt to do a thru-hike are successful, of course, for there are many trials and tribulations to be faced along the way, including fatigue, blisters, injuries, accidents, weather, and poison ivy.

There have been journey-ending incidents with bears, wild boars, and rattlesnakes, too.

I believe that it takes a special drive and a certain type of person to attempt such a feat. Dennis Blanchard, author of Three Hundred Zeroes: Lessons of the Heart of the Appalachian Trail, asked: “Have you ever dreamt about doing something totally foolish, something so absurd that perhaps you were afraid to tell anyone except possibly those closest to you? I harbored such a secret for most of my adult life — I secretly wanted to hike the Appalachian Trail [A.T.] from Georgia to Maine.” Well, he did it with a companion – and wrote his entertaining book as a result. One of his memories is retold here: “Thousands of grasshoppers were jumping everywhere; I felt like I was walking through popping popcorn. These critters made me conscious of my surroundings, since many snakes eat grasshoppers. When it comes to rattlesnakes and copperheads, the locals there have a saying that the third person gets bit. The theory is: the first person gets the snake’s attention, the second person gets the snake aggravated, and the third person gets bit. There were only two of us, but I didn’t feel like testing the theory.”

Indeed, there have been several worthwhile books written as a result of this particular hike through the eastern states, and perhaps the best and most humourous of them all was travel writer Bill Bryson’s A Walk in the Woods (which was also made into a movie starring Nick Nolte and Robert Redford). He attempted to walk the trail with a companion, but they never completed it. However, he did communicate about the simplicity of life on the trail: “Life takes on a neat simplicity, too. Time ceases to have any meaning. When it is dark, you go to bed, and when it is light again you get up, and everything in between is just in between. It’s quite wonderful, really.”

More than 2 million people are said to do at least a oneday hike on the Appalachian Trail every year, and several thousand will begin an attempt at a thru-hike. Some will even turn around after successfully completing the hike, and walk all the way back! This is known as a “yo-yo.” A few will even complete the “Triple Crown of Hiking in the U.S.”: the Appalachian Trail, the Continental Divide Trail, and the Pacific Coast Trail.

If starting your hike in the early spring (March or April), it’s best to begin in Georgia (to avoid Maine’s cold and snow), and most thru-hikers will plan to stay in the shelters and tent sites that are spaced out about a day’s hike apart along the route. In Blanchard’s book, he commented on these shelters: “Only on a few rare occasions, when I was either very tired or the weather was just terrible, did I sleep in shelters. The mice rule the shelters, and if there are no mice, that’s because there are lots of snakes eating the mice…take

I thought that my solo bike ride across Canada was quite an accomplishment, but I don’t think that I’ll be trying a walk of the entire Appalachian Trail. However, many of these thru-hikers do take breaks, from time to time, in the nearby towns that are found near the trail – to clean up and to replenish their food supplies.

During my short day hike on the Appalachian Trail, I stopped at the Punch Bowl Shelter, and here I met a thruhiker who was camped out for the remainder of the day.

He’d been walking since March – and hoped to complete the trail in September. He said that all thru-hikers are given trail nicknames, and he was now known as ‘Blood Mountain’. He was heavily tattooed, and he proudly showed off a large tattoo on his belly that read: “The mountains are calling and I must go.” So here he was!

I also met four more thru-hikers that very day (one from Texas had the nickname of ‘Cantaloupe’), and they were all determined to complete the walk by autumn. More power John met thru-hiker ‘Blood Mountain’ at the Punch Bowl to them!

After the release of their second full-length album made us strangers, they’ve been touring Canada and the US relentlessly, earning accolades wherever they go.

Mohawk Fair continues century-old tradition

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory – Pat Brant can remember a day when the Mohawk Fair was a reunion of sorts.

For many years, people from the Mohawk nation were spread across Ontario and New York and the annual August weekend event, she explained, provided a good excuse to travel back home and be with family and friends.

“It was a homecoming,” said Brant, the President of the Mohawk Agricultural Society.

That, she believes, happens less now, but the spirit of the event remains the same. The fair provides one of those few times of a year when people are encouraged to break from their busy lives and celebrate their community.

That spirit, today, remains strong. This year’s fair was the 117th edition in history; a proud accomplishment for the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory community, located just east of Belleville.

“It’s about trying to keep a good thing going,” Brant said, cheerfully. “To see the community doing well.”

The weekend event at the Old York Road fairgrounds got off to a great start, as more than 1,500 people packed grandstands on Friday night to see the always-popular demolition derby.

On Saturday, there was a casual atmosphere as families enjoyed the midway, took in a classic car show, and watched events from the grandstand, including square dancing. Inside the building there were craft activities for kids and ribbon-winning vegetables on display.

Brant said the fair’s longevity is also a testament to the volunteers. A small core group works year round to prepare for the fair and about 120 volunteers are needed when the weekend comes. Those volunteers are “people who really care about their community,” she said.

At right: Gary Maracle shows off his headdress made from eagle feathers.

He inherited it from a dying Mohawk man living elsewhere in Ontario who wanted to pass it on to another Mohawk, who could keep his family’s legacy alive.

Top right: 10-year-old Beya John, who was visiting from New York State, works on a craft at the Mohawk Fair, with the help of Lisa Brantfrancis.

about 15 dedicated volunteers, is moving forward to go to city council in October to try and get a field within the city limits.

“We will ask the city for their support in helping us take this over as a city field,” says Chesher.

“We will make sure that we raise the funds so that will mean a lot of campaigning and a lot of fundraising, and then we’ll hand it over to the city to maintain and take care of.”

According to Chesher, the project will come with a $400,000 price tag.

“We’re trying to get all-accessible dugouts, a field with rubberized turf, a score booth, accessible bleachers, completely fenced in property and a picnic area,” says Chesher.

“We’re really shooting for the stars on this.”

Though the diamond is still in the planning stages, the folks at Challenger are already accepting donations: to donate or to learn more about the program, visit www.challengerbaseball.ca.

Confidence comes from feeling good about yourself – your skills, your intelligence, and your appearance. Children with crooked, gapped and overlapping teeth are often teased by their peers, leading them to hide their smile – and their true personality.

Havelock – Five people were sent to area hospitals, two with life-threatening injuries, following a collision between a pick-up truck and three motorcycles east of Havelock on Aug. 19.

A group of seven motorcycles was travelling east, near Weller Road, just before 1 p.m. when a westbound pickup truck crossed the centre line and struck three of the bikes head-on.

It was reported one of the riders may have sustained a traumatic leg amputation in the collision, but the actual injuries have not been detailed by police.

Emergency responders including firefighters, paramedics and members of the Peterborough County OPP were at the scene of the collision which occurred during the third day

of the Havelock Country Jamboree.

Both police and paramedics already had teams stationed on the nearby jamboree grounds.

The highway was shut between Mary Street and the Sixth Line of Belmont with Havelock-BelmontMethuen firefighters rerouting east and westbound traffic via Mary Street, County Road 46 and the sixth Line of Belmont.

Traffic continued to move through the area despite the detour and heavier volumes visiting the village for the Havelock Jamboree.

The OPP collision reconstruction team was at the scene to measure and document the incident.

The highway was reopened shortly before 10:30 p.m. Saturday night.

No further details are available regarding the motorcyclists or the driver of the pick-up truck.

Husband and wife team open two new businesses in Stirling

BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling—With two snips of the scissors on Saturday, Aug. 12, Mayor Rodney Cooney cut the ribbons to officially mark the grand opening of two new businesses in town, both owned by Greg Belyea and his wife, Shari.

Excess Storage and Extreme Clean Detailing are both located in one building at 2472 StirlingMarmora Road.

The building was completely gutted and redone to create the self-storage facility and the auto detailing shop.

“We took possession April 17,” Belyea said. “I’d love to plug Engel Construction, because they did a great job for us.”

The facility is climate-controlled, making it unique in the township, he noted.

“Outside of Stirling-Rawdon, there are other options, but in Stirling-Rawdon, we are the only one,” he said. “We have 60 units total. We have 11 outside which are 24-hour access, and 49 inside.”

The main building has a variety of storage room sizes on two different levels. There is a wide door on each end so that people can drive in, unload (or load up) and drive on through instead of backing out, with plenty of room for two vehicles to pass each other.

The detailing business is run by Steve Wilder. The service offers a complete cleaning service inside and out, from vacuuming and shampooing the interior to an exterior wash and wax.

All Trailers Are Subject To HST And Ontario Tire Tax. Pre-Delivery Inspection Is Included At No Charge.

Trailers are subject to Freight Charges.

Please call for prices.
