YMCA staff save man from burning car By Stephen Petrick Quinte West – YMCA staff are known for providing exceptional service to the community, but staff members at the Quinte West Y branch went well beyond the call of duty last Friday; they saved a man from a burning car. The incident occurred around 12:30 p.m. outside the Monogram Place building on Aug. 19 and the outcome could have been different without the quick actions of branch general manager Ron Riddell and aquatics supervisor Tiffany Ward. Although Riddell was the one who approached the burning vehicle and pulled the man to safety, he downplayed his role in the incident. “I feel strongly that I did what anyone would do,” Riddell said, suggesting he’s no hero. “If there’s a man in a burning car, anyone is going to pull that person out.” Instead, he praised the role played by youngsters and other staff members in the building, as well as the first responders who arrived on the scene. It was kids and summer day camp leaders who first noticed the burning vehicle, parked in a field off Monogram Place, while outdoors for the lunch period.

As per their training, the staff quickly brought the kids inside so they didn’t have to witness the potential tragedy, Riddell said. Ward called 911 and followed Riddell out towards the car. At first, Riddell thought there was a grass fire beside the car. But as he got closer, he realized the heat was coming from the car. Flames were starting to torch the bottom of the vehicle. “As I got to within 10 or 15 feet, I noticed the car was actually running,” Riddell recalled. “As I came upon the vehicle, I saw the driverside window was down. I could see a man slumped over. “I opened the door and tried to revive the gentleman – he was unresponsive for 15 seconds or so. He was not responding. I grabbed him and pulled him out of the vehicle and out to the ground. He came to and looked at me like ‘What are you doing?’” He and Ward then walked the man about 25 metres to Monogram Place and away from the burning car. By this time flames were shooting high into the air. Police, firefighters and paramedics arrived on scene moments later. “Those guys are the real heroes,” Riddell said. “They’re the guys who do this on a daily basis.”

The man, who appeared to be in his 40s, was taken to Trenton Memorial Hospital and Riddell hasn’t heard of his status since. He also isn’t sure what caused the man to be unconscious in a burning car – although his theory is that the man had a medical issue and passed out, while the car was parked, but still running. The heat from the engine, which could have been running for hours, then could have sparked the fire from dry grass. Riddell admits that the incident made for an atypical day at the office, but again he stressed that he’s proud of how his whole team handled it. “I can’t say enough about my staff and the response. There were a lot of campers who saw there was a fire starting. Something like that could have frightened the campers, but they (staff) got the campers inside. All the campers were brought inside and to safety.” Quinte West fire chief John Whelan praised the work of Riddell and Y staffers, but said he’s seen heroic acts in the past where the heroes themselves don’t see themselves in that role. “I’ve seen it many times,” Whelan said. “People don’t think, they just act. People want to do the right thing.”

The actions of these employees from the Quinte West YMCA helped a man escape from a burning car. Pictured (from left) are Tiffany Ward, Melissa Adair, Ron Riddell, Tyler Power and Naomi Dunleavy. The burning car was first spotted by camp leaders Melissa, Tyler and Naomi. Ron and Tiffany then approached the burning car and helped the man to safety. Photo by Stephen Petrick

Roseneath – A Campbellford man faces several charges after the OPP Central East Drug Unit, assisted by Northumberland OPP, executed a search warrant at a Roseneath cannabis dispensary. Northumberland OPP say police found hash oil and different types of product being sold, including Critical Mass, White Cookies, Rock Star, Sweet Tooth, Bruce Banner and White Widow. They also seized a one million volt stun gun walking stick, complete with flashlight, at South Shore Wellness – Full Service Cannabis Dispensary at 8987 County Road 45. The warrant resulted in 4.4 pounds of cannabis marijuana advertised/ packaged for sale being seized, along

with 195 grams of cannabis resin, 527 50 ml bottles of a liquid drink containing cannabis marijuana, hundreds of packages of cannabis tea, cannabis cookies, cannabis resin syringes and four digital scales. The owner of the store, Timothy Tucker, 43, was charged with two counts of possessing a Schedule II substance for the purpose of trafficking, one for more under three kilograms and another less than three kilograms; using, dealing and acting on a forged document; and possessing property obtained by crime worth under $5,000. He is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Cobourg Sept. 28.

Campbellford - Fire Chief Tim Blake has rescinded the “total fire ban” and re-issued a “fire advisory” for the Municipality of Trent Hills. A fire advisory is not a total fire ban. Fires will be permitted with an open air burning permit that has been approved, for campfires as approved on the open air permit, natural gas or propane fire pits, and natural gas or propane barbecues, but must be supervised at all times. According to the press release by Chief Blake, “Fires shall be completely extinguished prior to leaving the area.” He also advises that people must have some means of extinguishing the fire such as shovels, rakes, fire buckets, garden hose, etc.,

available at or near the location of the fire at all times. Daytime open air fires are not permitted until further notification. A person who sets an unauthorized fire under this advisory will be responsible for the costs of extinguishing the fire at $300 per hour per vehicle. Chief Blake also stated, “Do not discard cigarettes from your vehicle.” Several of the recent grass fires were the result of a discarded cigarette, said Blake. “We appreciate your co-operation at this time when the weather conditions are dry and hazardous conditions can escalate quickly.”

Level 2 Water Condition still in effect in Stirling and Quinte West By Terry McNamee Recent rainfalls in the Lower Trent watershed area in August have not been enough to improve the conditions of local streams and wetlands. The area, which stretches from Grafton to Quinte West and from Rice Lake to Lake Ontario, remains under a Level 2 Low Water Condition as a result of four months of extremely dry conditions, according to Lower Trent Conservation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trenton has been the hot spot for precipitation within our watershed, with 46.2 mm of rain (Aug. 16) and 34.8 mm on (Aug. 13), bringing this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total to 82 mm so far,â&#x20AC;? Janet Noyes, Manager of Watershed Science & Services, said on Wednesday, Aug. 17. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, the Stirling, Ivanhoe, and Campbellford areas have received lower rainfall amounts.â&#x20AC;? She said water flows in local streams range from 32 to 69 per cent of normal, with the worst drought conditions found in the northeastern portion of the watershed region. Flows on Rawdon, Squires/Hoards, and Trout Creeks are extremely low. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Above normal precipitation will be required over the next few months to restore groundwater levels and stream flows to normal conditions,â&#x20AC;? Noyes said. On Aug. 5, before the recent rains, Quinte Conservation announced a Level 3 status and asked people to reduce their water usage by 50 per cent. During a Level 2 alert, residents are asked to reduce water usage by 20 per cent. In both cases, non-essential water uses such as lawn watering and car washing should be suspended until natural water supplies recover. Those who hold a Permit to Take Water from the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change are asked to reduce their water taking by 20 per cent as well. Local municipalities have implemented outdoor fire bans due to the dry conditions. Lower Trent Conservation asks individuals or businesses who are experiencing problems or hardships as a result of the dry conditions to contact them at 613-394-4829 or The water on one side of the Squire Creek dam protecting the wetland at Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill Conservation information@ltc.on.ca.

Training concludes for another summer at Trenton Cadet Training Centre By Ross Lees CFB Trenton - Approximately 400 Air Cadets left it all on the parade square as they displayed their skills at the final graduation parade at the Trenton Cadet Training Centre (TCTC). All courses in the summer TCTC programs graduated in this one massive parade and impressed the many family members in attendance along with the many military personnel who witnessed the parade. Reviewing Officer Brigadier-General Frances Allen, the Director General Cyberspace in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), said she was impressed with the “outstanding and exceptional parade.” She said the cadets at the TCTC had acquired amazing individual skills and they should be proud of what they had accomplished. “More important even than those individual skills is the team work and the learning to work together,” she told the cadets and their families. “Team work is a fundamental part of our lives, it’s a part of what makes our communities and our schools work. You know you have a really good team when the people on that team know the value they represent and the value of the other people when they are committed to the goal your team is trying to accomplish and when they are sometimes willing to put aside their own

needs for the betterment of the team.” She encouraged the cadets to take those skills back to their squadrons, schools and communities “…and be the great Canadian leaders that all of you can be.” The National President of the Air Cadet League of Canada, Don Berrill, was enthusiastic with his praise of the parade and the young men and women attending the TCTC, noting it was a fitting celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Canadian Cadet Program. Berrill encouraged the cadets to look at the people standing beside them because they would be the people they would have fun with as they advanced through the air cadet program that involves 25,000 cadets across Canada along with 10,000 civilian volunteers. “You are magnificent and you make the Air Cadet system oh so proud,” he told the cadets. Commanding Officer of the TCTC, Lieutenant-Colonel (Lt.-Col.) Darryl Rolfe said the successful parade was the culmination of many weeks of dedication by a myriad of individuals and groups. He told the cadets to be proud of their accomplishments. “You have prepared for today with dedication and enthusiasm and it shows,” he said. “You have demonstrated there is simply no finer youth development program than

Original Air Cadet Banner trooped for the first time at Trenton Cadet Training Centre By Ross Lees The Trenton Cadet Training Centre (TCTC) brought genuine history to their Trooping of the Banner Friday night at Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Trenton. Presented by Prince Philip to the cadets of the Senior Leaders Course in Cold Lake, Alberta in 1991, the Trooping of the Banner by the TCTC marked the first time any cadet unit or training centre had ever trooped the original Air Cadet Banner, according to Captain (Capt.) Josh Bambrough, TCTC Unit Public Affairs Representative. The tradition of Trooping a unit’s banner or colours dates back to the 17th century and earlier in British and Commonwealth militaries. On the battlefield, the unit’s colours were used as a rallying point and it was important to have the colours paraded through the ranks to ensure the troops could recognize them in battle. Friday night’s ceremony had all the pomp, precision and ceremony

these cadets could muster and it impressed all who watched. Guest speaker Air Cadet Governor Steve Moody had never witnessed a Trooping of the Banner before and he was impressed with the exhibition of the cadets. “I can’t remember the last time I saw cadets marching in line, your drill was excellent and the parade itself was quite moving,” he said, adding it was highlighted by excellent music from the band. Mr. Moody added another highlight to the evening, presenting a bronze plaque to TCTC Commander Lieutenant-Colonel (Lt.-Col.) Darryl Rolfe in memory of cadets – in the military, police, firefighters or paramedics - who had lost their lives in service to country or community and also in honour of the 75th anniversary of the Air Cadet League of Canada. “The purpose of this plaque is so that cadets walking past or going in and out of the camp will have a reminder of those cadets who have passed there before them, either here or other camps or served

before them in cadets and to certainly remember right now there are about 8,400 cadets in Ontario and about 25,000 Air Cadets across Canada. You are one of a large family,” he stated. Lt.-Col. Rolfe proudly accepted the plaque and said it would be placed near the “famous bell” and close to the plaque honouring the 25th anniversary of the Air Cadet League of Canada. Upon accepting the plaque, Lt.Col. Rolfe noted the cadets had put a lot of hard work into training for the evening ceremony and described their performance as “stellar” after training in hot, humid weather in preparation for it. He said he had not seen such a fabulous march past in line – both in slow and quick time – in such excellent dressing and overall dedication before. “Some might have you believe that teenagers are lazy, not dedicated, unmotivated and I’m going to say that those people don’t know any cadets,” he told the audience. “The people in front of you are highly dedicated, highly motivated, know how to work as a team and they really shone tremendously this evening.” For cadets still in training, they did inspirational work on this night, honouring their colours and displaying drill and deportment far beyond their Lt.-Col.

OPINION

Duterte and the UN Rodrigo Duterte, the new president of the Philippines, gives good copy. Here’s a quote from his final election rally: “Forget the laws on human rights. If I make it to the presidential palace, I will do just what I did as mayor. You drug Gwynne Dyer pushers, hold-up men and do-nothings, you better go out. Because I’d kill you. I’ll dump all of you into Manila Bay, and fatten all the fish there.” And here’s another, from last Sunday, after United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and the UN’s Office on Drugs and Crime condemned Mr. Duterte’s “apparent endorsement of extrajudicial killings.” “I do not want to insult you,” Duterte said. (He only called them “stupid”.) “But maybe we’ll just have to decide to separate from the United Nations. If you are that rude, we might just as well leave. So take us out of your organisation. You have done nothing. Never. Except to criticise.” What upset Ban Ki-moon and the UNDOC is the fact that Duterte is having people murdered. Since he took office three months ago, some 900 “suspected drug-dealers” have been shot dead by police and civilian vigilantes acting in his name. None was found guilty by a court, and some, of course, were completely innocent. Duterte is not denying it or apologising. Before he leaves office, he says, he’ll just give himself an amnesty: “Pardon given to Rodrigo Duterte for the crime of multiple murder, signed Rodrigo Duterte.” “The Punisher”, as he was known when he was mayor of Davao, is very serious about his “war on drugs”: he recently said he would kill his own children if they took drugs. But crime is not the Philippines’ biggest problem, and it’s not clear what else he is serious about. But he does have a plan of sorts for what to do after he walks out of the United Nations. He says he may ask China and African countries to walk out too and form a rival organisation. He doesn’t know much about China or Africa, so maybe he thinks they would like to get together and defy the parts of the world where governments believe that killing people is wrong.

“Duterte Harry” (another nickname) is very popular in the Philippines, but he is not really a threat to global order. The hundred million Filpinos will have to live with him for the next six years, but the United Nations is not doomed. In fact, it is doing better than most people give it credit for. One proof of this is the fact that the Secretary General now has the right to criticise a member government merely for killing its own citizens. That’s not what it was designed for. When it was created in 1945, as the catastrophe of the Second World War was ending, its main goal was to prevent any more wars like that. The founders tried to give it the appearance of a broader moral force by signing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, but that was mainly window-dressing. The UN was created by the great powers to prevent any government from launching another war of international aggression, not to make governments treat their own citizens better. In fact, each major power was effectively guaranteed the right to do whatever it wanted to its own citizens, so long as it did not attack the neighbours. In this, the new UN was just recognizing reality, for every great power was determined to preserve its own “sovereignty”. Even for smaller powers, the great powers could rarely agree on what kind of intervention was desirable, and who should do it. The UN has done well in its original task: it shares the credit with nuclear weapons for the fact that no great power has fought any other for the past 71 years. It has gradually moved into other areas like peace-keeping and promoting the rule of law in the world, but it never interferes inside the territory of the great powers. Even in smaller countries it almost never intervenes without the invitation of the local government. So when Duterte called the UN useless because “if you are really true to your mandate, you could have stopped all these wars and killings,” he was talking through his hat. Besides, he would never accept UN intervention in his own country to deal with an alleged crime wave. He’s just talking tough because he hates being criticised. It’s very unlikely that he will carry out his threat. The UN is the keystone in the structure of international law that, among many other things, deters China from settling its territorial dispute with the Philippines by force. Rodrigo Duterte is just a problem for the Philippines, not for the UN or the world.

Of Wheat Kings, Milgaard, Marmora and Gord Editorial - Chris Malette Late breaking story on the CBC, a nation whispers, “We always knew that he’d go free” they add, “you can’t be fond of living in the past, ‘cause if you are then there’s no way that you’re gonna last” Wheat kings and pretty things Let’s just see what tomorrow bring… By now, last Saturday’s epic performance of The Tragically Hip (Is it their last? They said it was their last!) is seared on the consciousness of Canadians between the ages of, oh, say 30 and 60. Like most, I would hazard, I wasn’t a rabid Hip fan, but I know a cultural phenomenon when I see one and appreciate a good song when I hear one, but there’s one Hip song that always brings back a flashback memory I’d just as soon forget. Many either only learned these past couple weeks or still aren’t aware that the iconic, haunting song ‘Wheat Kings’ is written for and about wrongfully convicted Manitoba native David Milgaard. There is a connection to here – Marmora and a Belleville courthouse – that always, always brings that song home for me and, as I said, I wished I could enjoy it for its melodic and lyrical brilliance. But I can’t. In an Aug. 19 piece on CBC’s website, cbcmusic.ca, reporter Jesse Kinos-Godin chronicled how Milgaard’s mother, Joyce, and sisters were moved by the song and The Hip’s deep interest in seeing justice for Milgaard after one of Milgaard’s sisters – who’d been lobbying for his conviction to be investigated – asked Hip frontman Gord Downie and his bandmates to listen to the evidence as to why their brother should go free. They agreed and the song was written when Milgaard was indeed let free from prison in April, 1992, after serving 23 years — 8,355 days — for a vile crime forensic evidence would later show was committed by a serial rapist right under the bumbling Saskatchewan cops’ noses. Milgaard was just 17 when he was wrongfully convicted of the rape and murder of nursing assistant Gail Miller in January, 1969. After Milgaard had been free for some months, he found himself in Ottawa for reasons I don’t recall, but it was long before he’d been given his compensation package of $10 million for his wrongful conviction and was taking a Greyhound bus from Ottawa to Toronto one fall day. The bus, as they did on the Highway 7 Toronto-

Ottawa run in 1992 and apparently still does, on occasion, stopped at the Mr. Convenience shop at the ‘four corners’ in Marmora. Out stumbled a tired Milgaard, buy accounts, who went into the store to get a snack or drink. While inside, he turned to see his bus pulling away – without him. Panic set in and he dashed through the store, stiff-arming a young boy out of his way and into a display of chips and candy in his haste to make it out the door and after the departing bus. Too late. The bus was back on the road and Milgaard was stranded, cursing and screaming in its wake. The bewildered store clerk called the police, Madoc OPP responding, taking Milgaard into custody for assault and causing a disturbance. Back in handcuffs, back in a cell. We either got a tip or heard it on the police scanner (memory fades here) in the newsroom in Belleville and were told there was a court appearance at about 4 or 5 p.m. Off I went with photographer Frank O’Connor. The Canadian Press was very keen on an update and a photo, as could be expected, as Milgaard was still big news months after his stunning release. Off to Belleville’s courthouse at ‘15 Vic’ we went and around the rear sally port door, after a very brief court appearance, police led Milgaard out to a waiting cruiser, still handcuffed behind his back. And it is that image, of an absolutely exhausted, shattered, confused and clearly hurting Milgaard that haunts me every time I hear Wheat Kings. Here’s a guy who was robbed of 23 years of the prime of his life, finally set free, unable, clearly, to deal yet with life on the outside and he’s back in some Podunk town in cuffs with a couple of local news hacks capturing the scene for all to see – again. It was all eventually resolved and the charges either withdrawn or reduced and it of course faded from most everyone’s memories. Except mine, likely Frank’s and I’m sure Milgaard’s memories. It was a sad, sad thing to happen, to see and to have to report on, I must say. It brought me no joy to see this man in handcuffs after such a sorry, silly incident. Turned out, it was just one of Milgaard’s many stumbles on the road to reclaiming his life. As for Gord and the Hip, they certainly captured the zeitgeist of a nation and know how to launch a haunting memory through song – one, I’m afraid on Wheat Kings, I’d rather forget.

Harrison buoyed by AMO experience By Sarah Hyatt Quinte West – After a three-day visit in Windsor for the Association of Municipalities of Ontario’s annual conference, Mayor Jim Harrison has returned home with what he hopes will be good news for Quinte West down the line. Local concerns have been heard, says Harrison. Among the highlights of the conference, which concluded on Aug. 17, was the announcement of funding focusing on both water and wastewater and public transit. For Quinte West, Harrison’s hopeful the city may be able to get some help with phase two of Trenton’s wastewater treatment plant reconstruction project, which is anticipated to cost around $40 million. However, it’s not known at this time whether phase two will qualify.

For phase one, which is currently under construction, the city already received $3.7 million in funding. Costs for phase one are around $25 million. “It’s a big one,” said Harrison. “We need the bucks. And we’re all in the same boat with systems deteriorating. But we met with quite a few ministers and I do, I feel as though they listened to us and they’re aware of our needs. We’re in a position now, where we’re waiting on this new formula to apply for funding, which is set to roll out sometime in September.” And the hope is, Quinte West can find a way to tap into funding. “They did say they would help us with the process,” added Harrison. Ontario will launch the intake process in early September, to identify municipal and First Nations projects to be funded under phase one of the federal government’s new Clean Water and Wastewater Fund and Public Transit Infrastructure Fund, Premier Kathleen Wynne said at the conference. F u n d i n g through the Clean Water and Wastewater Fund is to be allocated “fairly and transparently,” said the premier. The formula is said to be similar to Ontario’s Community In-

frastructure Fund (OCIC), which will include a minimum base allocation for all recipients. Municipalities will also be able to apply OCIF formula grants towards municipal contributions for approved projects. Through the federal fund, it’s said more than $560 million will be allocated for Ontario over the course of the next two years “to support critical, shovel-read water, wastewater and storm water projects across the province.” The federal Public Transit Infrastructure Fund is being allocated based on transit ridership numbers. More details are expected again, when the application intake opens in September. In a press release, Wynne said, “the federal government is building on our historic investments in infrastructure, by creating new funding streams to partner with communities on water and wastewater and transit. We’re all eager to get shovels in the ground, so Ontario will launch the intake process for these funds within a month and will work to make support available beyond OCIF funding, where required, to assist municipalities.” And while water, wastewater and transit were among some of the hottest topics with more than 1,700 participants at the conference and representatives from hundreds of municipalities – Harrison didn’t stop there, he says, in asking for provincial and federal support for Quinte West with different projects. The mayor says the city must continue to push for assistance in terms of economic development and growth for Eastern Ontario.

The Quinte West mayor has also asked for support with the city’s new fire hall and police station. “You know, there’s always concern with increasing police and fire costs,” he said. That much was clear at the conference, he added. “But we have a good support system and a good team of first responders – sure, it’s costly, but we

have to keep our communities safe. There was some discussion around this and we’re going to continue to try and balance this as best we can.” Overall, returning home, the mayor says he’s feeling pretty good. “You talk to a lot of other people there and you come home – and honestly, things are looking pretty good here. Quinte West is a great place to live – well, it’s the best.”

History buffs keep stories of a community’s past from fading into oblivion

“

confident bringing their loved ones here. At the end of each day I rest easy knowing that I’ve made a difference in someone’s life.

By John Campbell Brighton – They help preserve the past and that makes them forward-thinking. Because as Edmund Burke, the Irish statesman and political thinker, once observed: “Those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it.” Which can’t be good for progress, so Brighton should consider itself fortunate so many of its residents have made the effort to compile stories and produce accounts of the municipality’s rich history. Even the darker side as in Dan Buchanan’s Murder in the Family, about an ancestor’s killing of his young wife. Buchanan and other local history buffs – Florence Chatten, author of Brighton Township, and Susan Brose (The History of Brighton Business, 1816 to 2009) – gathered Aug. 20 at Lighthouse Books, to welcome a new entrant to a growing circle of citizen historians in the area. He’s Alex McNaught, whose book about the community where he was born and raised, A Place Called Wallbridge, was published earlier this year. “It turns out the little village has scads of history,” and few know about it, said McNaught, a retired teacher, who spent 12 years researching the book. For one thing, it’s the home of Ontario’s oldest municipal government, established in the 1790s. It’s also where a cheesemaker won international acclaim in the early 20th century, winning seven of nine gold medals at an exhibition in Europe. “The stories go on and on,” McNaught said. Growing in a household filled with books sparked Chatten’s interest in history and she’s had the good fortune to be around “a lot of people ... [who had] some really good stories,” which prompted her to write her book. “If you don’t understand history, then you don’t understand what the future’s going to do,” Chatten said. As much as has been written about Brighton, Brose said “there’s still a lot of gaps to fill in,”

L-r, Susan Brose, Melba Pound, Alex McNaught, Dan Buchanan and Florence Chatten have played a key role in preserving the history of their communities in books and articles and work on committees. Photo by John Campbell

which “we haven’t really touched,” such as the boating industry that once existed here. In the works is volume two of her history of Brighton businesses, to bring it to the present. “It takes all sorts of points of views” to make sense of the past, Buchanan said. Educating people about the past in an entertaining way helps them achieve “a better appreciation for what the community is” today, he said. They “feel more connected to the place” as well, which “helps with your peace of mind and how you view yourself in the world. I think that’s important. You don’t have to be a history geek like me to appreciate that.” The retired computer consultant is devoting all his time now to writing a second book, about “the stagecoach king, William Weller,” who ran stagecoaches from Toronto to Montreal, from the 1830s to 1850s, until the railways put him out of business. Most municipalities have “interesting things” in their past that can be “brought out” with a lot of work and dedication, Buchanan said. The information is all there in documents. It takes someone who is willing to spend the time “and feels it is important ... to go in and not only read what’s there but interpret what’s there.”

Applefest: Colourful country festival back bigger and better By Sarah Hyatt Brighton – It’s just about that time of year again – time for everything apple-inspired. Brighton’s 42nd annual AppleFest is returning on Sept. 22-25. With a sky view over Presqu’ile and Brighton, to big, strong men, the return of the Lions Club Children’s Village and Cold Creek County hitting the stage, Christine Waterhouse, chairwoman of the AppleFest committee says this year’s colourful country festival is back bigger and better. The Main Street is officially full for vendors for the street fair, promising lots of tasty treats and apple-inspired goodies, and the committee has been working tirelessly to bring back some favourites for the festival. The Lions Club Children’s Village is one of those favourites. “It’s going to be a full-out day of events,” says Waterhouse. With Dan the Music Man, a Blades of Glory show, Jungle Cat World, magicians and all-day extreme rush-rock climbing, several inflatable castles, a petting zoo, laser tag and more – family fun will be in abundance, said Waterhouse. “Essential helicopters” is re-

turning, weather permitting and will run all weekend long, offering people the chance to catch a glimpse of Brighton and Presqu’ile from above. The AppleFest Kings of Strength, hosted by pro-strongman Ben Ruckstuhl and with local prostrongman Joe DeWitt challenging some of the toughest athletes from both Canada and the world, this promises to be an exciting show, says Waterhouse. “It’s suppose to be huge this year,” the chairwoman added. Festival-goers will also have the chance to travel back in time, while visiting the Brighton Car and Antique Tractor Show, at Brighton Public School. A 50s and 60s Rock N’ Roll dance party on Saturday, Sept. 24, will feature hits of the legends from the era, with Brighton’s Ian Roy performing. Attendees are encouraged to dig out their poodle skirts, saddle shoes and vintage T-shirts. Live music downtown at Memorial Park, the Mayor’s Lighthouse Bike Ride and, the dog agility show, which is a “not-to-miss event,” are also a part of the weekend lineup. “We’re also really excited to have and promote Cold Creek County

Firefighters band together to give dying mayor ‘a fighting chance’ By John Campbell Trent Hills – Trent Hills Fire Service decided to set up a GoFundMe account to give Mayor Hector Macmillan “a fighting chance” in his bid to survive pancreatic cancer, says Fire Chief Tim Blake. Macmillan is pinning his hopes on staying alive longer than his doctors have predicted by having

surgery done in Kentucky that involves using electrical pulses to eliminate the tumour. But the cost is $250,000 US – and the Ministry of Health and LongTerm Care has ruled the treatment doesn‘t qualify for out-of-country medical services funding. Blake said Deanna LemoireRenouf, whose husband is a firefighter, was “instrumental” in setting up the online fundraiser, which asks the public to help the mayor.

A goal of $100,000 was set. “Trent Hills Fire Service is determined to raise the funds because we recognize all that Hector has done for our communities” in his tenure as mayor, Blake says in his message at www.gofundme. com/2km49uk. Macmillan, his wife, mother, four children, seven grandchildren and other family members “are scrambling trying to figure out ways to get him this surgery in Louisville, Kentucky. We are assured the procedure will buy Hector five to seven years or longer, and that some-

thing else will come along during that time. Without the procedure, he is not expected to make it to Christmas.” Blake said in an interview the fundraiser is also intended “to bring attention” to the “big picture” that includes all Ontarians. “If this is available, this technology, then why is it not here?” he asked. Macmillan said the equipment is, and has been successful in treating pancreatic cancer in limited use, but “the protocols are still being written.” Blake said his 67 firefighters have been touched by cancer as

well, and the department has participated in the annual Relay for Life for many years. He emailed 187 people announcing the firefighters‘ fundraiser. “It‘s pretty overwhelming to know that I‘ve got that kind of support here,” Macmillan said. Although “the clock‘s ticking” on his surviving the year, if surgery isn‘t done, he has no intention of resigning midway through his fourth term. “I‘ll never quit my job, that‘s not my style, that‘s not my nature,” he said. “I made a commitment and I‘m going to fulfill it, [even] if it kills me.”

Sharks spotted on Bay of Quinte The Bay of Quinte Yacht Club hosted the 2016 Helly Hansen Shark Canadian Sailing Championships on the Aug 13-14 weekend. In all, 28 Shark class race crews converged on the local waters to thrash it out. After six races, Shark “Jonathan Livingston Seagull” from Kingston finished first overall and the Seagull’s team of Cole Robertson, Peter Van Rossem, and Melodie Gummer needed a bullet in the final race to clinch the Canadian title. Local boat, Tiger Niles, skippered by Peter Aker, claimed second place with Eager for More, skippered by Greg Cockburn, of Toronto, finished third. Aker, the Regatta Chair commented, “We had close, competitive racing in very challenging conditions. The winners sailed very smart, and very fast.” The Shark is a 24-foot, three-person keelboat recognized as a one-design class by World Sailing. There are large fleets in Canada around the Great Lakes and throughout Europe. The one-design class specifications are strictly controlled to ensure a level playing field. All boats were inspected and weighed before lift in. Racing started on Saturday morning in Big Bay, east of Belleville. The race committee, chaired by BQYC member Don Reidel, got two races off before having to abandon for the rest of the day due to Severe Thunderstorm Warnings. The race fleet got off the water just before the skies opened up. Sunday saw favourable race conditions with 12-knot winds out of the NorthWest allowing the fleet to get in 4 races in the local bay. Aker also noted: “The shore-side activities, including meals with ingredients from local growers, drinks from a local brewery and winery, and great live music from local bands, were appreciated by all. The Bay of Quinte Yacht Club really shined this weekend. The members’ spirit of volunteerism and dedication to sailing is unmatched, and made the regatta a huge success”. Full race results can be seen on the local club website at: www. bqyc.ca

Brighton Speedway beats the rain, beats bullying on Weese Anti-Bully night race card lowing the rain shower 20 minutes earlier led to thrilling battles early.

By Clayton Johns Brighton – Brighton Speedway had to take pause for a brief rain shower, but the show was completed during the fifth annual Weese Racing AntiBullying night presented by McDougall Insurance and Financial and Read’s Accounting on Saturday. With four laps completed in the Bainer’s OilGARD Canadian Modified feature, rain fell on the speedway and forced a delay of approximately 20 minutes while the moisture was worked back in to the track. But the show went on and was completed as scheduled, all before the clock struck 10:00pm.

Mowat paced Sandercock until lap 13 when he struggled to get past the slower Brian Down (No.8 Unique Landscaping). Mowat was forced to hit the brakes in turn two when Down pushed up the racetrack, allowing Sandercock to steal the lead. Two laps later, Mowat spun on the backstretch and appeared to suffer damage to the nose of the car that ultimately ended his night a handful of laps later. Sandercock meanwhile stymied the efforts of second-place runner Adam Turner (No.92 Village Variety) on four separate restarts to earn his third win of the season in weekly action at Brighton and fourth overall. Turner finished second while Andrew Hennessy (No.57x Bellevue Fabricating) drove Sandercock’s backup car to a third-place finish. Hennessy raced in preparation for next Saturday night where he will compete for Sandercock’s points.

Caley Weese and her team were joined by hundreds of anti-bullying supporters on the front stretch at intermission for a photo to help standup to bullying in the local community. Weese’s team participates in several community events throughout the year to help spread the word on the harmful effects of bullying and the need to end it. This year, the campaign Shawn Gregory Claims Soggy Canasold 700 t-shirts, which sport the “no dian Modified Race bull” tagline. Adam Whaley (No.12 John’s Equipment) and Kraig Handley (No.91 TriSandercock Tops Pro Late Models Canadian Energy) started on the front The final round of the Hotch’s Auto row of the 25-lap feature for the BaParts Triple crown was on tap for the iner’s OilGARD Canadian Modifieds.

When the race resumed, Dan Charlie Sandercock (No.57 Bellevue Ferguson (No.11 Kilmarnock EnterFabricating) lined up on the front row prise) led on the restart after Handley and quickly broke away from the rest and Whaley banged wheels in turn of the field.

Another restart on lap eight saw Shawn Gregory (No.1 PartSource Belleville) line-up behind Ferguson. Gregory took the lead on lap nine in the outside lane and paced the field the rest of the way. Ferguson suffered a broken rear-end in his No.11 on lap 18 that brought out the final caution flag. Andrew Hennessy (No.87 RJ Equipment Rentals) chased Gregory over the final seven laps, but fell short by less than two-tenths of a second. The victory was Gregory’s first this season in the Canadian Modified division.

In heat race competition, driver Wade Purchase (No.53 Independent Alternator and Starter) suffered a broke drive shaft. The broken parts ruptured through the floor of the car, injuring Purchase’s arm. The result was a broken elbow for the Picton, Ont. driver. Brighton Speedway wishes Wade Purchase a quick recovery from his injuries.

(No.68). Jordan paced the field for the first three laps with Lobb glued patiently to his back bumper. Lobb claimed the lead on lap three and never looked back on his way to a second victory this season.

Prince Edward Jazz Fest packs strikes a chord Picton - No doubt the music made them happy, but the last note of the final concert Sunday night in Picton’s Regent Theatre left many hundreds of people sad that it had to end. Despite intense heat, humidity and discomfort for much of the four days, most of the events drew large or capacity toe-tapping crowds. Juno award winning jazz vocalist Emilie-Claire Barlow set the pace for the first main event concert in the air-conditioned Regent Thursday night with a sell-out crowd, reported Creative Director Brian Barlow, followed by another sellout crowd Friday evening, Guido Basso and Friends, a tribute to local musician and flugelhorn player extraordinaire Basso, who adopted the

Consecon community as his home some years ago. The annual jazz mass Sunday morning, amid downpours of rain, also packed St. Mary Magdalene Anglican Church to capacity with extra chairs set up, made all the more fun by the surprise participation of Basso again, when a saxophone player had to cancel. Basso’s resounding flugelhorn solos made the church sound like it was built specifically for his horn, starting with the jazz prelude, “There Is No Greater Love Than This in All the World.” Sit-down jazz interludes during the hymns allowed the congregation to just enjoy and even applaud along on the extemporaneous solos by Basso, pianist Robi Botos, bass player Jodi Proznick and Barlow himself on drums.

Drawing huge crowd to the Wellington Market Saturday morning was the Chameleon Dixieland jazz band from Toronto. They later performed at other venues during the day including Bloomfield’s Main Street and the Huff ’s Estate Winery. Photo by Jack Evans

The rector, Archdeacon Charles Morris, who has presided over several such jazz masses in the church, encouraged the congregation to let themselves be moved my “more than just the music,” and contended that “there will definitely be jazz players in heaven.” The choir,

under Michael Goodwin, also got into the act, with a lively anthem “River of Dreams,” by Canadian jazz star Joe Sealy and ceremonial bits accompanied by the jazz quartet. Special guest for the service again was, Bishop Peter Mason from Kingston. Throughout the weekend, jazz combos and soloists arranged through Barlow, performed at various venues, including late-night bars, afternoons in churches and wineries and outdoors on Saturday

with the Chameleon Dixieland Jazz Band from Toronto. They drew a huge crowd to the farmer’s market at Wellington. The County’s next music festival, Sept. 17-18 and 24-25, goes to more serious music with the annual Classical Music Festival under Artistic Director Stephane Lemelin. This event too involves several venues across the County, but most of the main concerts are in the acoustically-rich St. Mary Magdalene Church.

Recent rainfall not enough to end Level 3 Low Water Condition While some areas in the Quinte Conservation watershed received a significant amount of rain from August 12 to 16 it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to lift the area out of a Level 3 Low Water Condition. As a result Quinte Conservation was still calling on people to reduce their water usage by 50 per cent by Aug. 17. Water Resources Manager Christine McClure said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the last five days Belleville received the most rainfall in the watershed with approximately 70 millimetres, or 3 inches, of rain. Northern areas received much less rain â&#x20AC;&#x201C; only about 25 millimetres, or 1 inch. The upper Napanee watershed and some areas in Prince Edward County received about 50 millimetres, or 2 inches, of rain. We need significant sustained rainfall over several

days in the northern parts of the watershed in order to replenish our rivers and streams.â&#x20AC;? Quinte Conservation confirms low water conditions using two criteria â&#x20AC;&#x201C; precipitation and stream flow. In order to move out of the Level 3 Low Water Condition the Quinte Conservation watersheds need to receive a great deal more slow, steady rain to make up for the deficit experienced earlier in the year. Significant rainfall is required to see the flows increase in rivers and streams. McClure explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our rivers and streams did see an increase in levels and flows because of the rain. Most have already peaked and are back in decline. We expect to see the Moira River flows

south of Tweed decrease over the next few days.â&#x20AC;? McClure adds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Groundwater levels were helped somewhat by the recent rain but are still quite low for the season. People on private wells will need to be careful with their water use and monitor their wells in case they should go dry.â&#x20AC;? Quinte Conservation is continuing to ask residents and businesses to reduce their water use by 50 per cent until the water supply has been replenished. The local environmental agency will monitor precipitation and stream flows and provide updates. Quinte Conservation encourages everyone to use water wisely and apply water conservation measures. Information on water conservation can be found on the Quinte Conservation website at www.quinteconservation.ca. Quinte Conservation will be meeting with the Low Water Response Team in the first week of September to go over current conditions. A Level 3 Low Water Condition was declared by Quinte Conservation and the Low Water Response Team due to lack of rainfall and low flows in local rivers and streams on August 4. The Quinte Conservation watersheds have been experiencing low water conditions since the beginning of June. A Level 3 Low Water Condition indicates a failure of the water supply to meet demand. Restrictions on water use may be imposed by municipalities or under the provincial Water Resources Act. Low water conditions are ranked as Level 1, 2 or 3 based on a prolonged period of low flows or precipitation. A Level 1 is the least severe and Level 3 is the most severe. The environmental organization is encouraging any individuals or businesses in the Quinte watersheds who experience problems or hardships, such as wells going dry, to contact Quinte Conservation by calling 613-968-3434 or 613-354-3312 and dialing extension 129. Reports can also be emailed to info@quinteconservation.ca. These reports will help the organization track the impacts of the Low Water Condition. Well owners should take steps to protect their well pump. A licensed contractor can be hired to check water levels, make sure the pump is working and ensure the pump is protected in case the well should run dry.

One hundred year milestone for respected Norwood dealership By Bill Freeman Norwood – They’ve come a long way since the J.J. Duffus garage on Colborne Street. It was a full day of celebrations for J.J. Stewart Motors which marked its milestone 100th anniversary on Saturday, a remarkable achievement spanning two centuries, four generations, world wars, moonwalks and the transition from Ford to Dodge-DesotoChrysler and Chrysler-Dodge-Plymouth as well as 34 years of selling Massey Ferguson farm equipment. Along the way, there have been awards, accolades and a deep involvement in the community. “It’s nice to have everyone out to let them know how much we appreciate them. Without them, we’re not lasting 10 years, let alone 100 years,” said Dave Stewart who, with brother Mark, represents the fourth generation of Stewarts to guide the dealership which moved to its new flagship shop on Highway 7 in 2003. It all started on Colborne Street in 1916 with the JJ Duffus garage which Fred Stewart began to manage in

1918. He purchased the business in 1926 and his son Jack started working there on weekends eventually joining his dad in 1936 when it became Stewart Motors and a Dodge-DesotoChrysler dealership. It became a Chrysler-Dodge-Plymouth dealership in 1948 as well as a Massey Ferguson shop. They stopped selling farm equipment in 1982. Jack’s sons John and Ross joined in 1966 and it became known as J.J. Stewart Motors Limited. Mark and Dave officially joined the company in 1996. “It’s a neat thing to show the history of us today,” said Dave. “It’s a very proud day for grandpa, dad, Mark and I.” Dave admitted that it’s a “very rare thing” to be able to stay in your hometown and be part of a 100-year business legacy. “I led kind of a charmed life. I grew up in the dealership and got to go away for awhile and do my own thing and then returned to a business I enjoy and family that’s all kind of working towards the same goal. As a 44-yearold guy, to work with my grandpa, dad and my brother, it’s a pretty rare

thing.” “It’s something else to be in business 100 years to work beside your grandfather and have my son here and Dave’s kids and hopefully we can continue for a fifth generation,” his brother Mark added. “I’ve witnessed so many good things and I think this community owes them a real debt of gratitude and support,” long-time family friend and former reeve and mayor Doug Pearcy said. “What J.J. and his family have done for the whole community is astounding.” Jack (J.J.) Stewart, soon to be 102, was his usual dapper self as he greeted long-time friends and customers at the 100th anniversary celebrations of J.J. Stewart Motors. Photo by Bill Freeman

Working at McDonald’s can help you earn college credits Flipping burgers, serving fries and, of course, offering free smiles at McDonald’s may now represent the first steps towards a college diploma for employees of the fast-food chain. For the first time in Ontario, McDonald’s employees can now receive credits towards a college business diploma, thanks to a new agreement between Colleges Ontario and McDonald’s Restaurants of Canada Ltd. McDonald’s employees, who have completed specific training, will be eligible to be granted the equivalent of a first-year credit for a business or business administration program at one of 24 public colleges in Ontario, including Belleville’s Loyalist College. A statement sent out by Colleges Ontario says this may lead to significant cost-savings for eligible employees by reducing the number of courses and time required to earn a diploma – with potential savings of up to $4,500. “We’re thrilled to offer such an amazing program with McDonald’s Canada,” said Linda Franklin,

the president and CEO of Colleges Ontario. “This unique arrangement marks a new way of thinking about how employees can get access to further education and training without repeating learning they have already acquired. It’s the type of innovative partnership that colleges and businesses will be doing more of as Canada looks to strengthen its workforce and its economy.” “McDonald’s and its independent franchisees are committed to providing opportunities for people to learn life skills that will set them up for success – skills such as leadership, communications, hospitality and profit management,” said Sharon Ramalho, Chief People Officer of McDonald’s Canada. “We’re so pleased to work with the colleges on this new program that not only recognizes the quality of McDonald’s training, but also empowers employees to apply the skills they’ve learned to reach their career and academic goals.” For more information about McDonald’s Archways to Opportunity program visit www.ArchwaysToOpportunity.com

Organizations invited to apply for Community Hydration Stations The Healthy Kids Community Challenge Hastings Prince Edward is now accepting applications for Community Hydration Stations. Publicly funded and not-for-profit organizations can apply for new water bottle refill stations, water fountains, water coolers, or other water dispensers. These Hydration Stations will be provided to successful applicants to serve kids and their families in Hastings and Prince Edward counties. The Community Hydration Station initiative is being undertaken as part of Water Does Wonders - the second theme of the Healthy Kids Community Challenge, which encourages kids and their families to drink more water. The goal of this initiative is to increase the availability of water access points in Hastings and Prince Edward Counties, ultimately making it easier and more convenient for kids and their families to drink more water. “By purchasing new hydration stations for the community, we hope to make it easier for kids and their families to choose water as their beverage of choice to stay healthy and hydrated,” said Emma Pillsworth,

Local Project Manager for the Healthy Kids Community Challenge Hastings Prince Edward. “Water is essential to keep kids’ bodies working and growing properly and we want to make it as readily available as possible.” Publicly funded and not-for-profit organizations that serve kids and their families in Hastings and Prince Edward Counties and who could benefit from better water access are encouraged to submit an application. Links to the Community Hydration Station Application and the accompanying guide can be found at: https://healthykidshpe.ca/community-hydrationstations/. Applications are due September 30. Hastings and Prince Edward Counties join 44 other communities across Ontario taking part in the Healthy Kids Community Challenge. The Healthy Kids Community Challenge unites communities with a common goal of promoting children’s health through physical activity, healthy eating and other healthy habits.

A Visit to the Smallest Desert in the World Imagine finding what’s said to be the smallest desert in the world right here in Canada. It’s located in our far north, in the Yukon, just outside the tiny village of Carcross. The Guinness Book of World Records has listed it as the world’s smallest desert, for it’s just a few sand dunes located on a mere 642 acres (260 hectares). This area, only about one square mile in size, was covered, once upon a time, by a large glacial lake, and as the glaciers retreated, a sandy lake bottom material was left behind. These sand dunes are constantly being worked over by the strong winds, so it’s difficult for much vegetation to become established. Therefore, the area looks rather desolate. It also seems somewhat out of place up here, surrounded by so many thickly forested areas. It’s a geological anomaly, a very unique sight. I checked out this desert for myself, and I read the posted sign stating that it’s known as “the smallest desert in the world”. I was told that hiking and sandboarding in these dunes are popular summertime activities, and I’ve had friends who have visited here in the winter and have actually snowboarded on these snow-covered dunes. It’s definitely an interesting destination! If you’re planning a summertime visit to the Yukon, I’d certainly recommend checking out this desert. The best way to explore it would be by hiking on the Carcross Dunes Trails. A 3 km., 5 km., and 10 km. loop trail can be found behind the Carcross School, and each of these footpaths is well marked. You’ll traverse the dunes themselves and the shore of nearby Bennett Lake. I’d also recommend spending some time in this historically intriguing village, too. It’s the traditional territory of the Carcross/ Tagish First Nation, and it still remains a stronghold of Tlingit culture. The village used to be known as Caribou Crossing, for huge numbers of caribou migrated through this area. However, the name was officially shortened to Carcross in 1904. During the Klondike Gold Rush, this became a popular stopping place for prospectors going to and coming from the gold fields at Dawson City. In fact, it was a Tagish First Nation person from this very area, Skookum Jim, who was one of the perpetrators of that renowned Gold Rush. He struck it rich in Dawson City, and then he built Carcross’s biggest house. When he died, he was buried in the local cemetery, and he left a large sum of money to a trust established to improve the health and education of First Nations People in the Yukon.

During that Gold Rush, the White Pass and Yukon Route was quickly built to take the gold-seekers by train between Skagway and Whitehorse. Carcross became an important stop along this route, and its rail depot, built in 1910, is now a designated Heritage Railway Station. There’s also a commemorative memorial in Carcross, for it was here that the last spike formerly completed the White Pass and Yukon Route. While in Carcross, be sure to visit the Carcross Visitor Information Centre and the Carcross/Tagish First Nation Carving Shed. This latter spot is a great place to watch master carvers making masks and totem poles. Wander through the Carcross Commons, where you’ll see several shops, including restaurants, an art gallery, and a display of totem poles. I’d also recommend checking out the nearby St. Saviour’s Anglican Church (built in 1904 and still used today), the Carcross Post Office (the oldest continually operated post office in Canada) and the Matthew Watson General Store (the oldest operating store in the Yukon). This latter building offers a great variety of goods, including rather expensive indoor/outdoor minimuks (footwear). There was also a sign posted in this store that read “Shoplifters will be shot. This is the law of the Yukon and we don’t call 911.” Carcross is located between Skagway, Alaska and Whitehorse, Yukon. Just south of Carcross is the abandoned town of Bennett (in British Columbia) and the Chilkoot Trail National Historic Site; they’re located on the south shore of Lake Bennett, and several avid hikers still visit this area every summer to tackle this historic Gold Rush Trail. Just north of Carcross, TICO#50007364

you’ll find the Caribou Crossing Trading Post, which offers dog cart rides, gold panning, a petting zoo, and a Wildlife Museum. A little further north is Emerald Lake, and its spectacular emerald-green colour makes it very noticeable. Continuing even north on the Klondike Highway, you’ll soon arrive at the Yukon’s capital city, Whitehorse (72 km. from Carcross). Carcross has a population of less than 500, but it’s definitely worth checking out. I found several well preserved historic buildings here, as well as one of the last relics of the Yukon’s steamship era (the SS

Tutshi). I also discovered that this wilderness area also offered some firstrate mountain biking trails. And, of course, there’s that nearby desert, too. For More Information: www.yukoninfo.com/region/ carcross

Basso likes his music mellow By Jack Evans Consecon - He has been called “the best damn flugelhorn player in the world,” but he made his name originally as a trumpet player. Guido Basso, who settled into the Consecon community in 1980, remains an active force in Canadian music-making with a reputation of having associated with just about anybody who is anybody in the world of big bands and jazz. That includes Dizzy Gillespie, Benny Goodman, Al Hirt, Pearl Bailey, Edith Piaf, Sammy Davis Jr. and dozens of others. Many, he lamented in a presentation in the Bloomfield hall on Tuesday, Aug. 15, are now gone. The evening was the official kickoff to this year’s annual Prince Edward County Jazz Festival, which continued for the rest of the week. It consisted of festival Creative Director Brian Barlow, a long-time musical associate and drummer, prodding him with questions about events and personalities in front of an audience of almost 30 people. Born in Montreal in 1937, Basso starting studying trumpet at the age of nine, getting his first professional gigs in his teenage years with local bands. He also studied at the Conservatoire de Music du Quebec. It was years later before Basso discovered the mellow sounds of a flugelhorn and quickly sought one out and mastered it. The difference, he explained, is “a trumpet starts as a straight tube and stays that way until it flows into a bell; a flugelhorn starts as a tube and keeps expanding gradually into a bell, making a mellower, pleasant sound compared to the trumpet’s shrill and piercing sound.” His first big break came when

band leader Vic Damone heard him and booked him for a tour, leading to exposure with other U. S. –based musicians and ultimately Pearl Bailey and her bandleader husband and drummer Louis Bellson. He recalls that while touring with them, for his 21st birthday, Dinah Washington happened to be in the audience and at Bailey’s request serenaded Basso with the “Happy Birthday “ song. When his work visa ran out, he thought of renewing it, but realizing he would face the draft, returned to Canada and Toronto, where he understood the music scene was more profitable. And so it was. From a back street George’s Spaghetti House, he got involved in CBC radio and television studio work and more, becoming a leading “contractor,” or person who arranges for players . He also took up mouth organ and conducting. (A person who could play more than one instrument could qualify for 50 per cent more.) A contractor also made a commission. But musicians who wanted future gigs would always try to keep on his good side. One time, the Toronto Symphony was starring a jazz singer so Guido was called upon to conduct it. “I was very nervous,” he said, but then he reminded the orchestra that “I may not be a great conductor, but I am a great contractor,” and the entire orchestra followed him perfectly. “That was a wonderful moment for me,” he said. At one point, he saw a musician with a blue-lacquered trumpet and wanted to get one himself. He found an instrument expert who could do it and got one in green, which helped him get a gig with the CBC’s first in-colour TV show. He also recalled when media magnate Ted Rogers hired him as

l a u n n A 5 1

a contractor to provide a band for his daughter’s engagement party. He booked a young woman who was a piano player trying to break into singing, Diana Krall. Her first official gig as a singer was a huge success and she went on from there. Both Barlow and Basso were somewhat critical of famed band leader Benny Goodman who proved to be difficult to work with and “cheap” in his treatment of musicians. Basso was the contractor who put together a band for a CBC show with Goodman conducting. Goodman challenged the long hair of the drummer Basso hired, then the beard of the next one and even complained about the third, driving Basso to frustration. When Goodman wanted to re-arrange the entire seating system, used effectively for the best sound by CBC engineers, Basso said: “With due respect Mr. Goodman, go f--- yourself.” Basso was to take part in an allstar Canadian jazz band concert on the following Friday as one of the major concerts in the Regent Theatre for this year’s festival. Basso and his wife remain happy in their county home with their 44 acres backing onto Wellers Bay. But he also has plenty of gigs, both in the area and abroad. Her can also bask in receiving the Orde4r of Canada in 1994. Asked about new developments in jazz, Basso proclaimed that he does not like modern young musicians going too far with their improvisations. “It is no longer musi9c, it’s just sound effects, and unpleasant,” he said.

Get down, dirty and do your bit at Grapes of Wrath By Ross Lees Prince Edward County – If you like getting down and dirty and doing your bit for three important charitable organizations, you’re going to love the Grapes of Wrath mud run on Sept. 10. And the best part? It takes place at a winery! A challenging obstacle course that is laid out through Hillier Creek Estates Winery, this physically grueling and mentally demanding course will give you all you want and more. Dubbed the Grapes of Wrath Extreme Romp ‘n Stomp, the beneficiaries of the fundraising aspect of the challenge include the Canadian Cancer Society’s HPE and Brighton Community Office, Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation and Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation. Not only have organizers expanded the ob-

stacles, they have also opened it up to youth aged 14 to 17. Located at 46 Stapleton Rd., Hillier, in Prince Edward County, the course has grown to include 21 grueling obstacles designed by Canadian Military volunteers, firefighters and volunteer contractors and has challenged the strength, agility and stamina of more than 720 participants as they ran under and through grapevines and splashed through the winery’s namesake creek. To date, the event has raised $120,000 and always receives tremendously positive feedback from participants into challenging themselves and their teams to a military-style obstacle course designed to test physical and mental stamina. “In 2015, with obstacles such as a 14-foot wall climb, monkey bars and a culvert crawl, we saw competitors rely on each other to get up, over and through various obstacles and make it to the finish line together,” noted Kemp Stewart, proprietor of Hillier Creek Estates Winery. With Scotiabank on board as the title sponsor, teams and competitors will be given every opportunity to further challenge their personal and physical limits while raising money for cancer care in the local community. “The third annual Grapes of Wrath will push the participants even harder this year and test their strength and teamwork,” said Laura-Lee Hogan, manager of stewardship

obstacles on the course.” Organizers of this event have always promised “there will be mud” on this course, and Hogan stresses that point once again this year. Organizers encourage area businesses to use the event as a team-building opportunity for their staff and a first responder and community safety challenge has been issued to local fire departments, EMS crews and correctional officers. These professionals will be competing for the title of: GOW – First Responders and Community Safety Champions. Competitors must be 14 years or older on race day (Saturday, Sept. 10, 2016) to be eligible to run. Racers will receive a dry-fit T-shirt and upon completion of the race, dog tags.

The Good Earth:

Dan Clost I spent a bit of time chatting with Michael Richardson the other day. For those of you not familiar with Mike, he is one of a few Board Certified Master Arborists in Canada. He started off with a B.Sc. in Forestry and moved up from there. When you look in the back of Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rolling laboratory you will see instruments that some of the best-equipped university silviculture departments donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have. Chatting with Mike about trees requires careful consideration. Like

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feed the trees

most experts, he will listen to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;depthâ&#x20AC;? of a question and then respond in kind. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s similar to the trickle-down theory, if you give a nod at an inappropriate time, for example, when you hear phrases such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;fertilizer must be present in the ionic formâ&#x20AC;?, that is when the downward flow stops. Gosh, GR, there are a lot of impressively polysyllabic constructs (really, really big words) and this Richardson fellow knows them... all. Fortunately, Mike and I have known each for a very long time so he starts with â&#x20AC;&#x153;treeâ&#x20AC;?, â&#x20AC;&#x153;rootâ&#x20AC;?, â&#x20AC;&#x153;soilâ&#x20AC;?, â&#x20AC;&#x153;hotâ&#x20AC;? and so on. Here is the reason for calling Mike and the reason for penning this column. After our recent drought, we received a disturbing number of telephone calls asking us how much fertilizer trees should be given now to help them recover. One caller had already fed his Japanese maple a whole package of the blue watersoluble fertilizer and wanted to make sure that was enough. Another had seen the leaves on his oak tree turn papery brown and wanted to green them up again. GR, these examples are not meant to poke fun at

anyone; in fact, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here to illustrate a line of reasoning which many tree-lovers share. Water equals food which means drought equals starvation, i.e. if p then q. This conditional reasoning makes sense only if q were true; and it is not. However, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re digressing into a moot area. Established trees have been through many droughts and survived. Unless something traumatic has happened to cause a weakness, they will survive again. Recently planted trees and shallow rooted plants will clearly benefit from supplemental watering. (Check the archives of this newspaper for Vol10 No29 Help Your Trees Now.) For the moment, you can give a quick check of moisture by digging a 12â&#x20AC;? hole at the treeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drip line (the outer circumference of the canopy.) If the soil is cool and moist, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good; if not read the referenced column. Perhaps the most damaging factor of this

drought is not the lack of precipitation but the heat wave that accompanied it. The ground is hot, way too hot. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re living down in The County ( capitalized because while we all live in a county somewhere, only the folks in Prince Edward identify themselves as being â&#x20AC;&#x153;County-itesâ&#x20AC;?) and have recently planted cedars, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at multi-hued hedgerows of brown, grey and white but not green. Cedars are shallow rooted and those roots are cooking. Cool the soil by mulching to a depth of 3â&#x20AC;?; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use heat absorbing black coloured material. Mike says that lowering the soil temperature will result in increased white root growth which will allow the tree to take up

water and nutrients again. So, when can we fertilize our trees? Perhaps, with older healthy trees, you might not. For young trees, newly planted trees, and those with environmental challenges, e.g. urban trees, wait for the autumnal equinox- a good indicator of when nutrients will be channeled to root development. For some trees that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recognize autumn, e.g. Gleditsia, aka honey locust, never fertilizer in the fall. If you do, be ready to prune out a lot of winter kill next spring. By the way, Mike does advise using a fish/kelp supplement at any time- think of this as a vitamin shot not a meal. For now, hug a tree just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feed it.

Lots of good fish in the bay By Jack Evans Glenora - The towering four-storey limestone structure at the Glenora Ferry south side is historically and architecturally significant. But the work of the Glenora Fisheries Research Station, which it has been for almost 60 years, is not confined to the building. Operating a fleet of boats from open steel fishing boats to a 65-foot tug-trawler especially designed for the wild waters of Lake Ontario, the station’s work spans the entire Bay of Quinte with annual on-site research and monitoring, plus, in conjunction with New York State fisheries officials, the entire Lake Ontario. Regular checks of water temperatures and nettings to assess the numbers, sizes, health and variety of fish species and bottom creatures are made every year, giving the Glenora station the most impressive collection of fish data in North America over its close to 60 years, says Steve McNevin, operations supervisor. In mid-August, the station sends out crews to specifically monitor the Bay of Quinte, making trawler net runs and planting gillnets near both Belleville and Trenton. The results, said McNevin, are impressive. Said McNevin: “We caught 19 different species at Belleville and 18 different species at Trenton which really shows the diversity and health of the Bay of Quinte fish community.” To reinforce that, during the morning trawling session on Aug. 15, he looked at the load in the net and commented: “The Bay of Quinte has a huge biomass of fish.”

The monitoring follows a set system to maintain accurate comparisons. The same type of nets, the same time of year, the same location and the same number of trawler runs. The abundance of carp and gar pike was obvious. Neither species is recorded, just measured and dumped back into the bay. But all the rest are important either as sport or commercial fishing or feed for larger fish. This applies particularly to small species like alewife, gizzard shad and spotted shiner. Another significant indicator is the number of young fish, one year to three years old, especially walleye, which forecasts good fishing for the next few years. In the bay, “We had two record-setting years for young walleye the past two years. The numbers of young walleye this year are not as high, but this is not unusual as walleye spawning success varies greatly from year to year,” he added. He predicts an outstanding year for anglers for 2017, when the fisheries station marks its 60th year. Species at Trenton include: walleye, yellow perch, alewife, gizzard shad, spotted shiner, brown bullhead, trout perch, white perch, white bass, rock bass, pumpkinseed, bluegill, largemouth bass, freshwater drum (sheepshead), logperch, white sucker , channel catfish and round goby (invasive species.) The list for Belleville reads exactly the same. He also commented: “The bay is loaded with largemouth bass.” As the station’s 45-foot fishing trawler, itself 50 years old, churned on one of its four regular quarter-mile runs, McNevin reviewed that in the 1950s, nutrient loads turned the bay’s wa-

ter murky, cutting out sunlight from the bottom to nourish plant growth. With the Great Lakes cleanup in full swing, the process got a boost from the influx of zebra mussels. They sucked up the algae and helped clear the water for larger fish. Both ducks and whitefish quickly adapted to eating the mussels. All this reduced the impact of what at one point was considered a serious problem. The bay is now a healthy, productive body of water, albeit with zebra mussels still festooned on dock legs, boat motor components left in the water and water intake pipes. A wide range of skill sets is involved in these operations. Al McIntosh, a former commercial fisherman, is licensed skipper for the tug, needing to set the right courses and speeds to set the nets and haul them in. The crew managing the nets must have

highly specific experience and training as they wind the net off and on the spools. They then dump the haul into large buckets for icing, sorting and storing. All specimens are taken back to the station for laboratory analysis, sizing, weight, diet, age (from scales and an inner ear stone) and more. A battery of professional fish biologists are involved in this process, part of the station’s full time complement of 20 people, doubled in the summer with student help. Current projects for the Glenora Station include a new one, trying to restore deep water cisco, once a native species in the lake. Others are Atlantic salmon restoration, American eel restoration, Lake Trout restoration, round whitefish-spawning population study and Hamilton Harbour walleye reintroduction.

Chambers call for strategy to support health science sector At a time when the province is trying to address the major challenge of fiscal sustainability, The Bay of Quinte Regional Chambers of Commerce are suggesting a different approach to fixing the province’s health care system and putting patients first. In a recently released report, the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce and the Belleville Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Ontario Chamber of Commerce are calling on the provincial government to turn its focus from budget cuts to empowering the health care system to become an economic and productivity driver that is responsive to emerging innovation being developed in our own province. The report, Adopting Our Advantage: Supporting a thriving health science sector in Ontario, is the third in a series of health policy reports and is part of the OCC’s year-long Health Transformation Initiative. The chambers are calling on the government to open the doors to

the wealth of talented researchers, scientists, and entrepreneurs in the health space. The report agues that the province can do a better job of empowering these innovators and connecting them with health care providers, so that all points in the health sector are working together to improve patient care. The appointment of a Chief Innovation Strategist by the government of Ontario would begin that conversation. “In order for the government to receive a return on its investments in research, and patients in the Quinte Region to gain access to the kind of innovations that will improve their quality of life, there needs to be a unified strategy to support Ontario’s health science sector,” said Suzanne Andrews, General Manager of the Quinte West Chamber, in a statement. “We are not supporting our own discoveries. If we were able to change that, it would have a great impact on our provincial economy, on our provincial health

industry and on our local health care system.” The provincial government invests a significant amount of money into research funding, education and seed development funds, the report notes. However, the chambers believe, if the companies that emerge from this environment are unable to access the markets or resources they need to scale their business, they are more likely to leave the province causing Ontario taxpayers to lose out. “With innovation being identified as a priority at both the provincial and federal levels, now is the time for government to adopt a cohesive strategy to address the challenges facing this sector,” said Bill Saunders, CEO of the Belleville Chamber. “We need to take hold of the opportunity presented by our strengths in health sciences that will lead to a self-sustaining, vibrant health economy.”

About Glenora Fisheries research By Jack Evans The Glenora Research Station near Picton was buit in 1872 as an iron foundry to make water turbines. During the First World War it was converted to a munitions plant. Purchased by the province in 1922 it was turned into a fish hatchery for whitefish and lake trout until 1957 when it was dedicated to fisheries research. At the time, commercial fishing was a major industry in Prince Edward County, Brighton area and other communities in the eastern Lake Ontario area. Major renovations to modernize the facility were made in 1986 though 1989, during which time the staff was housed elsewhere. Now part of the recently renamed Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, the staff looks after water quality and

fisheries health throughout Lake Ontario, the Bay of Quinte, East Lake and West Lake and the St. Lawrence River. There remain some 46 active commercial fishing operators in the area with an annual harvest estimated at $450,00, mostly yellow perch and sunfish. There is also a major impact to the economy from sport fishing with at least one major fishing competition per week most of the summer, bringing in entry fees and visitors from far and wide. Anglers catch more than 50,000 walleye annually in the Bay of Quinte. A major new addition to the station’s resources is a 65-foot steel trawler, built in Wheatley, Ont. and coming to Picton to allow safe travel on Lake Ontario and featuring high-tech special equipment.
