Police sound alarm on dangerous ATV use BY MELYSSA GLOUDE
Centre Hastings – After a number of ATV-related incidents in Central Hastings and surrounding area, the Ontario Provincial Police are cracking down and hitting the trails, themselves. Staff Sgt. Scott Semple, commander of OPP Central Hastings Detachment, says that the circumstances of these accidents are mostly preventable – and it’s concerning. “Even prior to these accidents we were concerned about ATV operation on our roads,” says Semple. “I don’t have to state the obvious. We’ve had two very serious accidents over the last two weeks that could have easily been fatalities and it’s because people are treating these vehicles as if it’s not that serious to drive them impaired or unsafely.” Since 2015, Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation has given ATV and ORV riders the go-ahead to ride through towns, and in some cases, on municipal thoroughways where it’s permitted. Semple says that since municipalities have begun allowing ATV and ORV traffic, there have been some serious safety concerns from authorities. “Up until recently, side-by-sides weren’t allowed on roads and now they are. Though they are a recreational vehicle, people are using them more and for transportation; they aren’t necessarily abiding by the rules
as they apply.” Semple says that many riders may not know the rules of the road as it applies to them. “Though the municipality allows them on their roads, you’re still bound by the highway traffic act; you have to have a helmet, you have to have your lights on, you can’t go on a road until you have a G2 or an M license. You need insurance, plates and all the safety equipment.” There are specific speed limits for those that choose to operate an ATV or ORV, according to the Highway Traffic Act. “We’re finding a lot of people drive them like a car and you’re not supposed to. You need to be on the shoulder. If it’s a 50 km/h speed limit, you can do 20,” says Semple. “Anything over 50, the speed limit is 50.” Semple says the Centre Hastings OPP plan on taking their own precautions to help inform those using ATVs and ORVs as methods of transportation. “We are going to be initiating a campaign in Central Hastings,” says Semple. “We’ll be on our ATVs doing RIDE programs at the end of trails, and we’re going to have the ability to do breath tests. We’re going to be monitoring speed with radar and we’ll be making stops on roadways, looking at equipment and insurance.” See ‘ATV’ Page 2

ATV SAFETY Continued from Page 1
Paint a rockin’ masterpiece
According to Semple, there have been eight total ATV and ORV related fatalities in the past year --most of which could have been prevented by a quick safety check. “If they’re not sober, or if they’re speeding, it makes it harder to handle the machine,” says Semple. “We really are concerned with the attitude that people have with driving ATVs. They’re dangerous and if you’re riding you need to have all your faculties. “ Central Hastings OPP urges those who use recreational vehicles to visit the MTO website and viewing the Smart Ride, Safe Ride pamphlet before their next ride.

Hastings – Hastings rocks and that’s for real. The wildly successful Hastings Rocks painted rock campaign has captured the interest and imagination of residents and visitors of all ages and has become an engagingly simple way of promoting the riverside community and its Hub of the Trent status. The campaign kicked off with a Canada 150 theme to coincide with July 1 celebrations and now organizers are encouraging would-be painters to create some rockin’ magic to mark the eleventh annual Hastings Waterfront Festival. They’ll have a booth set up at the festival on Aug. 19 with rocks, brushes and paint supplied free of charge. The idea is simple – paint a rock, and then hide it in an accessible and easily found location; people who find the rocks are encouraged to snap a photo and add it to the Hastings Rocks Facebook page; if they want they can take the rock home with them as long as they replace it with another rock. “They can take their rock home, hide it somewhere or leave it for us to hide, whatever they prefer,” says Erin Farley, a co-organizer of the Hastings Rocks campaign. Farley, former chair of the Waterfront Festival, will be on the “other side” of the festival this year as a participant with paints and brushes to help out rock artists. In the afternoon she’ll be joined by “rock painter extraordinaire” Lori Geddes-Felix.“Everyone is invited to drop by, sit a while and paint a rock too,” says Farley. “Even if people have never painted before they’ll have a lot of fun and something good will come out of it,” she says. “They’ll be surprised at the piece of art they are able to complete.” Farley says they’ll supply the rocks, brushes, sealer and water but if painters want to bring along their “preferred brushes” they can. For more information visit the Hastings Rocks Facebook page.
Have You Had Your Hearing Tested? Testing is Free!
Visitors to this year’s Hastings Waterfront Festival can paint their own “Hastings Rocks” rock with all the supplies provided by organizers.
Adults under 50 should have a hearing test every 5 years, over 50 every 2 years.

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

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

Editorial by Stephen Petrick A few weeks have passed since one of the most salacious stories of the year broke in our region; that Belleville Mayor Taso Christopher was found by a judge to have breached the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act. Now that emotions have died down, let’s analyze what it means. Municipal politics is more often than not as exciting as watching paint dry, so it seemed dramatic when Christopher, at the end of a recent council meeting, announced he had been “cleared” of charges under the act. He later told reporters “the ruling is in my favour.” Yet the ruling, delivered by Justice Timothy Ray in Kingston, didn’t exactly say it was “in his favour.” The judge acknowledged Christopher breached the act but it was as a result of an “error in judgement” and therefore he should not have to forfeit his seat. So Gary Davidson, the Taso-baiting local realtor who brought the application to court, didn’t turn out to be a winner in this either, as he wanted to see the mayor ousted. You’ve heard the term “win-win” situation. This seemed liked a “lose-lose.” What does this mean for Christopher? We won’t know until October 2018 municipal election (that is, should he decide to run again – he’s never spoken publicly about re-election intentions.) But, Christopher may have caused more damage to his reputation from the spin he put on the ruling than the very actions which brought him to court – at least that’s the feeling I get from following comments on social media and right from locals’ mouths. Davidson brought Christopher to court over his actions at an October 2016 budget meeting at which Christopher declared a conflict of interest when council debated whether to build a roundabout on Maitland Drive. The city would have to purchase land Christopher’s family owned at the time to build the roundabout. However, when it came time to vote on the issue the mayor did not remove himself and contributed to a successful 7-2 vote in favour of the project. So did Christopher do this simply to put our taxpayer money in his pocket? You’d have to be paranoid to think so. The roundabout is one aspect of a $12.5 million Build Belleville infrastructure project focusing
on the Mineral Road/Maitland Drive area – a heavy commercial and industrial area that’s seen growth in recent years. It’s not a heavily scrutinized project, because what taxpayer is going to oppose the city improving heavilytravelled roads? Also, one could also argue that Christopher’s endorsement of the project was a moot point anyway. Had he declined to vote, it still would have passed by a 6-2 count. However, being successful in politics has perhaps as much to do as how you’re perceived in public than the results you achieve. So the fact that Christopher hasn’t offered an “ah-shucksI-screwed-up” apology, may come to haunt him during election season. Or it may not. As another mayor in this region proves, it’s possible to steer away from much bigger controversies. Brighton Mayor Mark Walas is continuously under attack from a fraction of his community, who believe the third-term mayor performs the role as much to serve his business interests as a subdivision developer as the community itself. In May, Walas appealed a decision his own council made with the Ontario Municipal Board. It was regarding council’s disapproval for a sewer system for the Lakeside Landing subdivision he’s associated with. “I’m troubled by the fact that we have the mayor of Brighton issuing suit against the people of Brighton,” said Coun. Brian Ostrander at the time, summarizing the bad optics. In Walas’s previous term, his council was also subject to an Ontario Integrity Commissioner investigation, which led to a damning report, in which the commissioner flagged Walas for trying to fire the Chief Administrative Officer. The council term was also plagued by stories regarding employees feeling micro-managed and municipal email accounts being used inappropriately. Yet, despite the drama, Walas was successful in his bid for re-election in 2014, beating Mike Vandertoorn 3,143 to 2,229 in votes. What does this mean? The political world is full of drama and mayors will have opponents, who justifiably or not, want you gone. But the majority of voters see through the drama and accept that mayors are imperfect humans with personal interests, just like many of us. Either that, or they’re too busy to care.

Troubles for Ontario turtles BY BILL FREEMAN
Norwood – Ontario turtles are in trouble. That’s according to Wendy Baggs of the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre (OTCC) who hopes to spread the word about the reptiles, some of which are endangered species. Baggs, a Hastings resident and outreach volunteer with the centre, says public education is the chief reason the centre has seen a dramatic increase in the number of turtles taken in for medical treatment and rehabilitation. Seven of Ontario’s native turtle species are listed as species at risk: either endangered, threatened or of special concern. Only the Painted Turtle is not yet listed; the Wood and Spotted turtles are both endangered while the Spiny Softshell, Blanding’s and Eastern Muskshell turtles are threatened; of special concern are the Snapping and Northern Map turtles. “They are endangered because they are losing their homes and their homes are the wetlands,” says Baggs. Injuries from automobiles, boats, animals and humans also put turtles at risk. The OTCC is home to the Kawartha Turtle Trauma Centre which treats and rehabilitates turtles and re-
turns them to their natural habitat; it’s the only rehab centre dedicated to providing medical care to turtles. The OTCC also operates a hatching program along with its education and outreach initiatives and conducts field research and supports conservation projects with groups like the David Suzuki Foundation. Less than one per cent of turtle eggs make it to adulthood “so every turtle’s ability to reproduce over many decades is crucial,” according to the centre. “More and more people are becoming aware that our turtles are in trouble,” says Baggs. “More and more people are stopping when they see an injured turtle. They know there is help out there. With the education program people are aware that even if the turtle is severely injured to bring it into the centre. We may not be able to save the adult female but we may be able to save some of her eggs.” The OTCC now receives over 700 injured turtles a year; a seven-fold increase from its early days. “People ask what they can do to help turtles across the road (and) that makes a huge difference,” says Baggs. So does talking to children and letting them see survivor turtles. “When the kids can see that live breathing turtle it’s just very engaging.”

Design of new bridge in Campbellford will take at least two years and then ... BY JOHN CAMPBELL
implementation plan after the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change confirmed in June that the EA study Northumberland had done on a second bridge satisfied all consultation and environmental requirements. It will set out “who needs to be involved and at what stage,” and include contacting federal and provincial agencies as well as the municipality of Trent Hills and First Nations, Pannu said. The county in the course of the EA process that began in 2008 had made certain commitments, such as creating a road salt management plan, and considering bike lanes in the final bridge design, which must be submitted to the ministry prior to construction. “We will clarify our understanding and what their expectations are,” Pannu said. “We'll start having meetings with them or conference calls (and) come up with a plan as to what needs to be done during the detailed design.” The public will be given “the opportunity to provide comments on the look of the bridge and the style,” he said.
Campbellford – It will take at least two years before a detailed design of a new bridge in town is completed, and then it will be funding that decides when the river crossing gets built, says an official with Northumberland County. “We're hoping there will be shared funding available from federal and provincial level(s) of government,” said Mobushar Pannu, director of transportation and waste. Their participation is “a key factor” because “it's a big commitment,” he said. “If we want to see something done within the next five years, let's say, then definitely we would need to rely on some support from senior levels of government.” Figures put together three years ago as part of the environmental assessment (EA) study completed in 2016 estimated it would cost about $16.5 million to build a two-lane bridge between Alma and Second streets. “That doesn't include engineering fees and property acquisition and any utility relocates,” as well as other costs, Pannu said. “That could very well add another few million dollars.” TRUSS & FLOOR The county will For Professional, Friendly Service, Contact also need to replace the existing bridge in downtown Campbellford in 20 years or so.

Stirling Police: A rich 116-year heritage worth remembering BY TERRY MCNAMEE
Stirling – When the Ontario Provincial Police takes over from the Stirling-Rawdon Police Service, it will mark the end of more than a century of local policing. A short history of policing in Stirling, written by then-Police Chief Jack Foster, was published in The Heritage Years: A History of Stirling and District, in 1983, is the only available account. Sadly, all memorabilia and photos from the Stirling Police have been lost over the years. According to Foster’s account, law and order arrived in Stirling on April 2, 1900, when Norman Laughee charged the village five dollars to create a jail cell. On Jan. 14, 1901, Jed Green was hired as Stirling’s first policeman. A month later, the village hired two more constables. Two years later, James McCann was hired as constable, sanitary inspector, and truant officer. He was tasked with walking the streets and checking on stores and taverns. He resigned after a month. In February 1906, the village hired Alfred McCutcheon as a constable and as caretaker for the music hall, then added truant officer and sanitary inspector to his duties a year later. He resigned eight months after that. There followed a succession of constables, night patrollers and/or bylaw officers. Numbers varied. In June 1913, there were four, but by February 1930, there was only one. In 1933, Sam Eggleton was hired to do night patrols and later was named police chief and dog catcher. He also was tasked with collecting arrears in water rates. He remained in the position for many years. Two more constables were added in the summer of 1950, but one resigned a year later when he was refused a pay increase, and the second was let go in

Trent Hills teen to play ball at the national level BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Trent Hills — Deciding to play organized softball three years ago turned out to be a smart move for Elijah Brahaney. He was a member of the Ivanhoe Storm that won silver at the Eastern Canadian Softball U16 championship in Newfoundland in 2016, and he's been asked to play for the Shallow Lake Sting when it defends its title as U16 Boy's Fast Pitch Canadian champions Aug. 9-13 in Cobourg. “I was really happy to be selected by Shallow Lake,” Brahaney said. “We have a strong chance (to win) and it's exciting to represent Ontario.” His Ivanhoe team missed out qualifying for the national event, finishing fourth at the Ontario Amateur Softball Association bantam elimination tournament held recently in Cobourg. Belmore finished first, Tavis-
tock second and Shallow Lake third. Ivanhoe went 4-2 in the tournament, losing both its games in the bottom of the seventh inning, 6-5 to Shallow Lake and 3-2 to Tavistock. Brahaney collected 12 hits in 15 at-bats, including three doubles and a triple. Three of the first baseman's Ivanhoe teammates, all pitchers, were also picked up by Ontario teams and will be playing in Cobourg as well: Kurt McCann (from Madoc), Dyson Cassidy (Tweed) and Brock Sencott (Belleville). Brahaney has yet to learn how large a role he'll have as a pickup by the Sting but he's looking forward to playing at the national level for the first time. Four teams from Ontario will
be competing, along with two from Saskatchewan, and one each from Manitoba and Newfoundland. Ivanhoe will compete in the provincials at Drumbo on Aug. 5-6 and Brahaney is feeling “really confident” the Storm will do well. “We're definitely good enough to win it,” he said. Ivanhoe is third in the sixteam Stirling league with a record of 5-3-3. Brahaney has played the other infield positions as well as catcher a number of times. Ivanhoe also qualified once again for the Eastern Canadians, which will be held in Quebec, but Brahaney won't be joining the team. He'll be trying out for the Quinte Red Devils major midget hockey team.
Belleville Sens unveil new logo and wordmark Belleville – The Belleville Senators have unveiled their new logo; a big black ‘B’ under thick single red and black stripes. The logo was unveiled by the new American Hockey League franchise on Tuesday, July 25, as it prepares for its inaugural season beginning this fall. The design is intended to be classic and versatile, the team said. “Our goal was to create a symbol that is transcendent,” said Rob Mullowney, Chief Operating Officer of the Belleville Senators. “Our fans will come from many different regions, backgrounds, cultures and lifestyles, and we hope to create a home for them all within our team. This emblem is intended to appeal broadly, no matter who is wearing it, how they are wearing it, or what they are wearing it on.” The singular ‘B’ was chosen to pay homage concurrently to the City of Belleville where the team will play its home games and the greater Bay of Quinte region where the they will draw the majority of their fans from. In its entirety, the logo also carries a distinct connection to the team’s National Hockey League parent club, the Ottawa Senators. Finally, the logo is devoid of any immediate associations that may otherwise have come through the use of a character. This is also intentional, insists Mullowney. “As much as the font and colour scheme exude authenticity and the logo is designed to be timeless, we also wanted it to be without attachment.
“We believe that our brand should be defined by our actions and will work relentlessly to ensure that the associations fans make with our team are both positive and welldeserved.” The primary logo is accompanied by the team’s official wordmark, also released July 25. Making use of the same font and colour scheme, the wordmark has a traditional feel that will supplement the primary logo in various contexts. The Senators have also released a promotional video to get fans excited about the upcoming season. It can be viewed at http://bellevillesens.com .

Stirling—Chloe Choinard, a young figure skater from Stirling, recently moved to Montreal to train, and apparently the move has paid off. Competing at the 33rd Annual Minto Summer Skate in Ottawa on July 27-30, Choinard defeated 20 other competitors to earn the Novice Ladies gold medal in her group.

Grayson is a neutered, young adult male who is a bit nervous of new people but loves human contact when he gets to know you. He’ll stretch up on his back legs and reach for you to ask for a hug, and is at his happiest either cuddling on your lap or lounging on your shoulders where he can purr in your ear. He’s currently hiding under the couch at CCI’s store waiting for someone to take a chance on a nervous but loving boy.

Norwood Pride was a triumphant celebration BY BILL FREEMAN
Norwood — Norwood Pride was a triumphant celebration. The inaugural event held at the Norwood Legion July 23 was an affirmative demonstration that diversity adds richly to a community and with between 200 and 300 in attendance organizers are thinking of adding a parade for next year. For sure they’ll be marching in Peterborough’s September parade with their banner, says Shane
Hodge, one of the organizers. “We were really happy with how our event turned out.” There had been talk in the past about hosting a Norwood Pride celebration but this year’s came together quickly with an overwhelming show of support, Hodge said. A 14-member, all-ages committee was behind the event, which included displays by groups like PFLAG (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays),
Rainbow Youth, the Peterborough Aids Resource Network, Peterborough Pride, local elementary and secondary teacher’s federations and St. Andrew’s United Church in Westwood. Asphodel-Norwood Mayor Terry Low welcomed guests. Hodge says people from Ottawa, Brighton, Peterborough, Warkworth, Lindsay and Toronto travelled to Norwood to celebrate with the local LGBTQ communityand gay and straight supporters from around the region. He thinks the Norwood event could spur neighbouring rural communities to host their own celebrations. “We’ve been speaking with people from Warkworth about perhaps
starting up some sort of regional Pride network.” Hodge says organizers were heartened that the event drew a large number of older gay people, another sign re-affirming the importance of hosting a local Pride gathering. “My partner Tony spoke with almost everyone who showed up, even if just briefly, and noted that there was a large number of older gay people and that they were overjoyed that we were having this event. They didn’t think they would ever see such a thing in Norwood in their lifetime.” Low called the event “great” for the community. “We can come together and accept everyone for who they are regardless of who they love or how Shane Hodge speaks at the they identify,” Low said. “We can’t inaugural Norwood Pride cel- be anyone but who we were born to be and I’m certain that given time ebration.

Development, conservation costs discussed at Crowe Lake Waterway Association’s AGM BY SUE DICKENS
Marmora — Developments by FairTradeWorks and the Crowe Valley Conservation Authority’s annual costs were two of the topics discussed at the annual general meeting (AGM) of the Crowe Lake Waterway Association (CLWA). It was held on July 15 at the Marmora Curling Club and attended by 40 CLWA members. FairTrade Works is a construction project management service for residential and commercial clients. Association president Ritch Smith said attendance was lower than in prior years “but many felt it was because the sun was shining for the first time in many weeks,” he said. The meeting provided an opportunity for members to hear reports on the year’s activities and to elect officers and directors for 2017-2018. There was plenty of discussion and questions for the mayors about the Crowe Valley Conservation Authority’s annual costs and about the two FairTradeWorks developments proposed for Crowe Lake. It has been the practice in past years to invite representatives from the municipal councils of Marmora and Lake and Havelock-BelmontMethuen to speak to the group. This year Mayor Terry Clemens and Mayor Ron Gerow reviewed activity in the municipalities that have particular impact on the waterway and association members. Smith told the mayors how much the members appreciate their willingness to spend time with them each year. Reports from the CLWA committees made up the last half of the

Stirling horticulturists tour Tweed winery
BY TERRY MCNAMEE
Stirling—Members of the Stirling Horticultural Society got together in mid-July for a visit to the award-winning Potter Settlement Vineyards and Artisan Winery in Tweed. The winery, located on the very edge of the Canadian Shield, was founded in 2000 by Sandor, Ken and Maureen Johnson on land that has been owned by the family since the early 1800s. It is planted with 10 acres of vinifera, hybrid and VQA-recognized grapes. Because it is so far north, it required 15 years of experimenting to find out what grapes would grow best, but nearby rocky outcroppings create a suitable microclimate for growing wine grapes.
Robin Johnson, the family winemaker, is a 1999 graduate of Brock University’s Oenology and Viticulture program and has worked at wineries in Niagara Region and British Columbia. His father Ken has been an amateur winemaker since 1988. The winery is producing a variety of modern and heritage red and white wines, Vidal icewine and some fruit wines. Just this month, the young winery won the silver medal at the National Wine Awards of Canada, the country’s largest wine awards competition, for its Chinon-style 2016 Cabernet Franc. Members of the horticultural tour said the wines, which are made with no additives, tasted wonderful and that the vineyards are bursting with grapes.

Library brings Olympics to reading program BY SUE DICKENS
Madoc — Youngsters at the Madoc Public Library are not doing the 100-metre dash or synchronized swimming, but they are competing in their own Olympic-theme reading program. Catrina McColl of Madoc, a second-year student at Trent University who is enrolled in teacher education, is running this year’s program which accepts children from ages three to 11 years. Thanks to the TD Summer Reading Club, the library is “delighted” to host this reading program two days a week on Wednes-
days, 2 to 4 p.m. for children six to 11 years of age and Fridays, and 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. for children three to six years of age. “This year’s theme for the program is all about Canada and this past week the children participated in learning all about the Olympics,” said McColl. “Each week the children are involved in reading stories, playing games, making crafts, as well as familiarizing themselves with the resources here at the library.” This week’s Olympic theme was a huge success according to all of those with big smiles on their faces,”
said McColl. “I look forward to each week and getting to work with the amazing children within my community. They always brighten my day with their contagious smiles and big hearts.” In fact, all the staff at the library look forward to seeing every youngster each week as well as enjoying the “magnificent artwork” they create. “The Madoc Public Library invites new participants to the program each week and looks forward to meeting new children within our community,” McColl said.
These youngsters are earning all about the Olympics as part of the summer program at the Madoc Public Library are: front row. Sue Dickens/Metroland

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

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

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

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

Historic Ranney Falls powerhouse replacement project is ‘going well’ BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Campbellford – Ontario Power Generation is in the process of replacing the “Pup” at the Ranney Falls Generating Station. It’s the smallest of the two powerhouses, containing a .8 megawatt (MW) unit, which reached the end of its life in 2014 after being in service since 1926. The main powerhouse has two units, each 4.8 MW. The expansion now underway will see a more powerful and efficient 10 MW unit installed in a new building, which will increase the amount of renewable
energy produced at Ranney Falls to 20 MW, capable of serving an additional 10,000 homes. It will also help displace the equivalent of 28,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions, says Ontario Power Generation. Construction began in March and is expected to continue until the winter of 2018. The forebay and tailrace channels are being expanded to accommodate the new powerhouse. A new spillway will also be constructed to bypass the full flow of water to the generating station to the tailrace channel for emergency situations. “Things are going well,” said Neal
COACH & TOURS
Kelly, director of media, issues and information management with OPG. About 30 people are currently employed at the site and their number will increase when the civil contractor begins pouring concrete early in the fall. Parks Canada and Trent Hills “are monitoring the work and issuing the applied for permits when required,” Kelly said. The new powerhouse is expected to be in operation by the end of 2019. Kelly said a community event is planned for September to inform the public about the work that is being done and the reasons for it.

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

Flasher arrested, say Belleville police Belleville - A Belleville man has been released from custody following his arrest Monday for an indecent exposure incident in the city’s West Hill neighbourhood. Last Sunday morning, July 30, at 11:15 a.m. a woman told city police she was walking north on Coleman Street nearing Harriett Street when she “observed a man walking towards her. The man had his genitals exposed as he walked past her. The man did not speak to the woman.” Police said they began an investigation and “received assistance from the public which included the incident being captured on video surveillance from a nearby location.”
The location was not revealed by police. After processing and reviewing the video, police were able to capture images of the suspect. These images were distributed to officers to be on the lookout for the man. On Monday, an off-duty Belleville police officer, who had recently reviewed the images observed the same male at a local business on North Front Street. As a result, “uniformed officers attended and arrested the man for the indecent act.” The male was identified as Todd Andrew Brown, 51, of Belleville. Brown was released on a promise to appear in court.

Entrepreneurs In Action: DOGGIE DETAILING Love of the work gets clients tails wagging
“You can’t fake passion” shares Barbara Corcoran, millionaire Shark Tank investor. “The same three qualities exist in every successful entrepreneur: passion, high energy and thankfulness”. Meet Heather Boyd. Heather is an award-winning Certified Professional Groomer and the owner of Doggie Detailing. She lights up when she talks about her clients – the ones on the grooming table as well as their human companions.
Trenval Business Development Corporation was created in 1987 by the Federal Government to support small business and aspiring entrepreneurs. They grow our local economy by lending funds to small business and managing grant programs. Congratulations to this Trenval client and successful Entrepreneur in Action!
START!
She expanded to a new 1100 sq. ft. storefront at 391 Dundas St W in Trenton to better meet customer needs and within weeks, word spread and her team are now booking a month in advance. Doggie Detailing’s new digs are flooded with natural light, music, and their four-legged guests are spoken to in sweet tones and baby talk. Happy, freshly groomed companions greet their owners wearing a colourful bandana or feather adornment. These niceties matter. All staff are certified vet assistants, highly trained in grooming (one

specializing in cat grooming) and award winners. All staff have ongoing training and Heather plans to bring industry professionals in for skill building sessions. “We don’t just shave dogs – we style them.” Being top in their field by mastering new techniques and studying emerging trends such as the popular Asian style, shows the commitment of the team to offer great service. Staff answers questions, share pictures and video’s while offering advice on their popular Facebook page. Clients can book an appointment online through FB or www.doggie-detailing.ca – what a customer friendly business! The larger location allows Heather to stock quality food and snacks. Groomers see the dry skin, ear infections and other consequences of poor diets or allergies. Heather has seen the difference raw food diets have made with her own animals and is quick to share her experiences. “Raw food is not simply ‘raw food’ and its not for old dogs or big dogs – its for all dogs.”
Doggie Detailing offers two food brands that Heather researched and feeds her own pets. She has found local snack makers that provide grain free pet treats and has managed to keep the costs down. Her line of accessories continues to grow, she promotes a local pet portrait artist and provides an outlet for unique local pet items. Her passion will only expand this business into new areas that serve our pet adoring community. Trenval Business Development enjoys working with clients that possess the ‘passion, high energy and thankfulness’ traits. Heather was referred to Trenval by another local business and feels “Trenval is so much more than a business financing option; they are helpful and organized.” Steve Jobs, Apple Founder, mirrored Corcoran’s belief: “The ONLY way to do great work, is to love what you do”. Heather Boyd’s love of what she does is a gift to our local community. The Board and Staff of Trenval congratulate Heather Boyd and are proud to have been a part of this success story!

The Good Earth
Bouquets for Everyone
By Dan Clost Our granddaughter, with help from her parents, hosted a house-warming party this past weekend. It was our privilege to collect some cut flowers to make bouquets. Many Gentle Readers are aware that I have a slight over other cut-flower gatherers. My work place happens to be a landscape supply nursery with four acres of choices. My only real challenge is to selectively remove a stem or scape without affecting the saleability of the plant. My only limitations are my imagination. Our cut-flower gathering party headed out to the nursery in the early hours of the evening. Many experts say that the best time to harvest flowers is in the morning after they have had their daily uptake of fluids. Practicality says the best time to perform such a task ¬– in fact any gardening task will fit here – is when you have the time to do it. If evening is your time, then evening is when you do it. We had two arrangements in mind. The first was a large outdoor collection that would repose in a relatively small farmer’s cream can; a two foot tall cylinder holding about one and a half gallons of water. The second was meant for the buffet table. The first needed large flowers with lots of visual oomph (technical horticultural term meaning people will see something and say, “Wow!”) The second, in my mind, required a bit more diversity and some intrigue in accordance with the expectation of the viewer’s knowledge of my day job. That’s not always an easy thing to do, GR. For some strange reason, a nice grouping of daylilies, coneflowers and a fern frond or two does not satisfy some folks. They’re looking for a flower which they cannot identify or one that is not easily available to them. (No, I did not go into the tropical house and nip a few orchids.) For large outdoor arrangements, few plants are more accommodating than hydrangeas. GR, I’ll use only common names to save word space. In the cream can, we slipped a few giant Incrediballs as the anchor, then added Berlin, B8 Section B - Thursday, August 3, 2017
Bloomstruck, Limelight, Invincible Spirit, Pink Beauty, Blushing Bride and Wedding Ring. Tall panicles of Russian Sage were scattered throughout with several much taller groups of matureseeded Karl Foerster grass re-accentuate the narrow cylinder at the top end. A bit of greenery and very contrasting texture was achieved with un-opened Autumn Joy sedum fringing the lip. We used that many different hydrangeas because, truly, we could. A very effective arrangement, in the same container, could be accomplished with Annabelles (the most common white-flowering hydrangea) and any “spike” from grass to dracaena to a dark-leafed ninebark. The little glass vase was the “funnest.” One way to incorporate a lot of different flower colours and shapes is to think in threes. We used three carmine coloured lobelia as the tall centre bit. Holding them in one hand, we added three Tomato Soup cone-flowers at a slightly lower level. The bouquet was turned slightly and three Thomas Killen shastas were included. Another turn and three Supreme Cantaloupe cones slipped in. Continuing in the same manner, Raspberry Tart, Banana Cream, Tangerine Dream, and Aglaia were combined into the mix. For frilly interest bits peeking through the solid flower heads we inserted Fanal and Younique astilbes, and then added three stems of bright yellow Rocket ligularia to contrast the lobelia. Finishing up, purple Gayfeather, Karl Foerster grass, Elegans hosta were supported by a bottom circle of the dwarf Venice hydrangea. By using minigroups of three throughout the arrangement, the viewer has time to enjoy each variety before being drawn to the next. When every bloom is different the effect can be strikingly effective but also difficult to appreciate each flower as an individual. Creating bouquets are fun but gifting them is even more rewarding.

Turtles a hit at conservation presentation BY SUE DICKENS
Campbellford — A couple of live turtles from the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre were the highlight of a special presentation hosted by Friends of Ferris (FofF) at the park on Saturday, July 29. “Friends of Ferris promotes the park, but is also involved with bringing in events to educate. This is a perfect example, and to see the kids’ faces light up when the live turtles were presented was so worth our efforts. Paddy the snapping turtle was amazing,” said Barb Hogan, president of the very active non-profit group of volunteers. She and other board members were on hand for the event, which attracted about 80 people, including dozens of children, who wanted to learn more about this reptile. “And the work of the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre is remarkable, and we are so fortunate to have them so close as they take turtles province wide,” she added. The centre, formerly known as the Kawartha Turtle Trauma Centre, is located in Peterborough and is a hospital for injured turtles. The centre’s main speaker was Wendy Braggs, education and outreach co-ordinator.
Her assistant was Hilary Winstanley. Together they talked about how seven of the eight species of turtles in Ontario are at risk. “Our turtles are endangered ... there’s different levels from special concern to threatened to endangered,” said Braggs. A couple of the species are hovering on the edge of being extinct. The only one not yet at risk is the Midland painted turtle. “Of all the injured turtles we get in at the centre, this (Midland painted) turtle is by far the most amount.” said Braggs. “In southern Ontario, we have lost 75 per cent of the wetlands ... it’s extremely important we save the remaining 25 per cent ... water levels and climate change are really affecting our turtles.” The presentation was so wellreceived that FofF hopes to bring the centre back again next year. For FofF, the goal now is to increase membership. “Our numbers are down and we need support to continue these great events,” Hogan commented.
Their next event is the ever-popular and longtime favourite dry stonewall workshop, which will take place on Saturday, Aug. 26. For more information on FofF and their projects visit http://www.friendsofferris.ca/friends.html.
