Paddle the Trent gets launch in Hastings

GEROW PROPANE LTD.

OVER 60 YEARS EXPERIENCE

BY BILL FREEMAN bfreeman@theemc.ca

Hastings – Thirty canoe and kayak enthusiasts enjoyed a Canada 150 paddling adventure on the Trent River on June 25. The paddlers were part of a Paddle the Trent event hosted

by Lower Trent Conservation to help kick off Canada 150 celebrations.

The participants enjoyed a leisurely 10 km. down-river jaunt from Hastings to the hamlet of Trent River with ecology and stewardship specialist Ewa Bednarczuk providing commentary and interpretative information along the way.

“Canada has one-fifth of the world’s freshwater resources. What better way to celebrate this vast country with its abundance of lakes, rivers and streams with a paddle down the Trent,” Bednarczuk said.

“Paddle the Trent provided us with an opportunity to connect people with the natural and cultural beauty of the Trent River,” said Bednarczuk.

Paddle the Trent is one of four events scheduled in Lower Trent Conservation’s 2017 outdoor series.

Lower Trent Conservation partnered with Cruising Canoes of Belleville who provided the paddling equipment, instruction, lunch and transportation. The event was made possible by the Community Fund of Canada’s 150th, collaboration between the Campbellford Seymour Community Foundation and the federal government.

Marmora woman convicted of kidnapping, assault

Central Hastings OPP warn residents of bear sighting Marmora – A report of a black bear in the area of Bursthall Street in Marmora was received at 5 a.m. on June 21, and the Central Hasting OPP detachment responded.

The bear was not located.

A business in that area was reminded to keep their garbage bins closed.

The OPP is reminding people to take simple precautions to prevent attracting black bears.

The potential for human-bear conflict increases when there is little natural food available for bears. If this happens, black bears will search for other food sources, such as garbage and bird feed, which can draw bears to populated areas.

If a bear is posing an immediate threat to

public safety by exhibiting threatening or aggressive behaviour, call 911 or your local police.

The police may request support from the ministry of natural resources and forestry to respond to emergency situations, on a caseby-case basis.

For non-emergencies, the ministry of natural resources and forestry operates the tollfree, 24/7 Bear Reporting Line (1-866-5142327) and the Bear Wise website to provide the public with information and advice.

The OPP wants to remind people not to approach bears because although they are cute they are wild animals and can be unpredictable

It took a Belleville court jury less than three hours to convict a Marmora woman of half a dozen serious charges involving a 2015 kidnap and beating of a Marmora man.

The jury last week found Jessica Youmans, 31, guilty of robbery, assault, kidnapping, uttering threats, possessing a dangerous weapon and breaking and entering.

Youmans had pleaded not guilty to all charges against her, claiming the incident in January, 2015, occurred when she punched the complainant, Stan McGovern, in self defence.

The jury accepted the facts in the case

presented by Crown attorney Lynn Ross that Youmans broke into the home where McGovern and his girlfriend lived, beat him there and with the help of others, took McGovern to her home and forced him to pay back $200 that was believed to be a drug debt.

The Crown’s case hinged on charges that Youmans beat him bloody to the point he later required eye surgery for that $200 debt.

Superior Court Justice Wolf Tausendfreund has set Sept. 6 for sentencing.

Ross told the court she would be seeking a “significant period in custody” for Youmans, who has been out of custody on bail since her original charges.

BY JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com

Campbellford — Surgical services are “a source of under utilization” at Campbellford Memorial Hospital and the rate of open procedures has “decreased substantially" over the past year, says the chief of medical staff.

“We cannot envisage that increasing in any great way, and endoscopic procedures have not made up the shortfall,” Dr. Neil Pritchard said.

However, the successful recruitment of an orthopedic surgeon from Kingston “who is doing shoulders” once a month at CMH, and a vascular surgeon who is handling minor procedures, primarily vein stripping, on a regular basis “has certainly gone a long way to increase the utilization of the

operating theatres.”

Pritchard explained the drop in surgical procedures in an interview following the hospital's annual general meeting June. 22.

“The bottom line is we've taken out every gall bladder in the county that needs to be taken out,” he quipped.CMH has been doing gall bladder and hernia operations “at a very good clip, with very minimal wait periods ... for some years,” but “we've exhausted the local well,” he said.

“We are thinking of moving toward more radical surgeries ... if necessary for our own patients,” Pritchard said.Activity statistics furnished at the meeting showed general surgeries performed at the hospital have dropped from 1,999 two years ago to 1,654 for 2016-17.

It was 'touch and go' after family physicians withdrew services at hospital

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford — Chief of staff Dr. Neil Pritchard says it was “touch and go” after family physicians withdrew their in-patient services from the day-to-day operation of Campbellford Memorial Hospital.Their decision “left us in a real conundrum,” he told the hospital's annual general meeting June 22. “We did not have a medical staff whatsoever.”

The hospital eventually responded by hiring a cadre of fully trained hospitalists, which represented “a paradigm shift” for CMH, he said.

However, the three international medical graduates hired by the hospital made it necessary to create a department of internal medicine and to find supervisors to oversee the new recruits until they earn a certificate from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario to practise independently.

“It took a long time but we managed to do it,” Pritchard said.

A fourth physician, already fully licensed, was also hired.The new group of doctors stabilized manpower and allowed the nursing staff to become familiar with a smaller cadre of physicians, which relieved “some anxiety,” he said.

“But most importantly it also allowed us to minimize our reliance on locum physicians, which are highly variable, are new each week, and cost money.”

Further development of the junior hospitalists will enable CMH to move toward a “smooth transition of care” and an “appropriate utilization” of services, Pritchard said, “so our existential crisis is over.”Stabilizing manpower on the ward “was critical”

but the emergency department “still has issues” with physician staffing, which “we're working to solve,” he said. “Recruitment efforts are ongoing.”

Pritchard said afterwards that the family physicians chose to withdraw their services when “they found they could no longer adequately service” the patients in their offices and at the same time commit to providing services in the hospital.

They made their intentions known two-and-a-half years ago and followed through last January, he said.Although given advance notice, the hospital had to work “very hard with a bunch of people ... to keep things going” until the three recruits were hired, Pritchard said.

He's “tremendously relieved” the situation has been resolved, and “with time they are going to prove to be a godsend.”

The supervisors and the chair of the department will be an ongoing expense for 18 to 24 months, until the international medical graduates get their licences.

“We've nabbed them for five years, so there's a return on investment,” he said.

Pritchard said “it's difficult getting enough physicians” to work in ER. “We're always short every month and we have to fill with physician outsourcing companies,” he said.

“We're trying to get away from it because of the costs involved. It really does double the cost to the hospital if we have to use locum ER physicians. We'd like to get a large cadre of local full-timers or at least regular parttimers.”

“If we can get four full-timers regularly and then a dedicated band of part-timers, we'll do just fine.”

Tweed council in review

BY LYNN MARRIOTT cdmorgan@kos.net

Tweed — As of June 14, the “holding provision on Rashotte’s Home Building Centre rezoning to Special Rural Industrial” was removed by Tweed council. The hold has delayed work at the Highway 37/Countryman Road property, the proposed new site of Rashotte’s Home Hardware and lumberyard. Plans initiated approximately five years ago, can again move forward.

“Construction of the project has gotta be started — 100 per cent this year,” said Chris Rashotte, owner. The trees have been planted. The engineering and building are underway.

Now the sub trades need to be located, he said.

Gord Leaver, Tweed bylaw enforcement officer, provided a detailed May report. Two complaints of owners staying in trailers were unfounded.

Uncut grass, household debris and garbage, flapping tarps, a video camera aimed at neighbours and roadside garbage are now compliant. A Tweed resident filled a 20 tonne bin and a second smaller trailer with garbage resulting in an “80 per

cent improvement in the yard,” Leaver reported. A noisy rooster complaint was solved, by the owner eating the rooster.

Residents within 120 meters of the proposed Esker Road pit, allowing Tweed to crush sand and gravel, will receive a registered letter giving 45 days to file objections. A public meeting will take place 10 days prior to objection period ending, reported Dave Mullett, consultant. Pit licensing has been in process since the 1990s.

A cherry tree, in honour of Patricia Bergeron, long term CAO of Tweed, has been planted at Royal Victoria Park.

Volunteer of the Year Award is now open to resident submissions. An appreciation evening will be held Sept 20. Applications, the Erin Palmateer Pool YMCA schedule, and Tweed Canada 150 celebrations are online: www.tweed.ca.

June 27, council will meet at St. Matthew’s Hall, Marlbank, at 5 p.m.

OPINION

Silly buggers in Mid East skies I don’t remember which navy I was in when I first heard the term “silly buggers”, but the meaning was clear. It included some sensible exercises like “man overboard” drills, but the heart and soul of game was highGwynne Dyer the speed manoeuvres by ships travelling in close company. These sometimes got quite exciting, because ships don’t have brakes.

Off the coast of Lebanon, in 140 metres of water, is the wreck of the British battleship HMS Victoria, which sank in 1893. It is the world’s only vertical wreck, because its bow is plunged deep in the mud but its stern is only 70 metres below the service – “like a tombstone,” said one of the divers who found it in 2004. And it was “silly buggers” that did for it.

The British Mediterranean fleet was travelling in two parallel lines when Admiral Tryon decided to reverse course – and to make it interesting he ordered the lead ships of each line to make the turn inwards, towards the other line. In theory the two lines of ships should have ended up travelling in the opposite direction, but much closer together.

Unfortunately, they were already too close, and they couldn’t turn tightly enough to avoid hitting each other. The lead battleship of the other line rammed HMS Victoria and all 10,400 tonnes of her sank within a few minutes, carrying the admiral and 357 other officers and men down with her.

That’s the sort of t hing that happens when you play “silly buggers” and get it wrong.

It’s silly enough when everybody is on the same side. When two different countries start playing “silly buggers” it gets even more dangerous, and that’s where we are right now. Last Monday, over the Baltic Sea, a Russian fighter plane flew within one and a half metres of an American reconaissance aircraft’s wingtip. US officials protested, saying it was “unsafe” and criticizing the Russian pilot’s “high rate of closure speed and poor control of the aircraft.”

Had the Russian pilot been ordered to get that close? Probably not. Did he intend to scare the Americans? Almost certainly, yes. He probably did misjudge the distance – it’s not worth dying to make your point – but he would have known that he was off the leash.

News.

CENTRAL HASTINGS TRENT HILLS

American reconnaissance flights targeting Russia are perfectly legal so long as they stay over international waters, but they have become much more frequent over both the Baltic and the Black Seas. That is clearly yanking the Russians’ chain, and they duly get worked up about it. More importantly, the Russian pilot would have known what is going on over Syria.

The game over eastern Syria has gone beyond mere “silly buggers”. It’s more like “chicken” now, with the Russians and the Americans pushing each other to see how far they can go. But it’s the Americans who are actually shooting, though they haven’t killed any Russians yet.

Early this month, the US shot down a Russian-made Syrian government drone near the al-Tanf border crossing, between Syria and Iraq. Then on Sunday an American F/A-18 shot down a Syrian air force fighter-bomber near the Islamic State’s besieged capital of Raqqa. The Russians responded by saying that they would track any Western aircraft operating west of the Euphrates River as potential targets.

When US aircraft mistakenly dropped bombs on Syrian government troops last September, killing 62 of them, nobody shot them down. But that was then, and the rules have clearly changed – as was underlined recently when US forces shot down another Syrian government drone near al-Tanf, this time an Iranian-built Shahed 129.

At one level, what’s driving all this is the fact that Islamic State is going under, and the various players are racing to gain control of the parts of eastern Syria that were or still are controlled by the group. US forces are part of that race, and are getting increasingly reckless about how they compete.

At a higher level, this is the result of President Donald Trump’s decision to commit the United States and its forces to the Sunni side in the Sunni-Shia confrontation that links all the local wars together. That defines not only the Syrian government but also its Iranian and Russian supporters as America’s enemies, and the American forces in the region are just responding to that shift.

There is still no clear American vision for the future of the Middle East, let alone a serious strategy for accomplishing it. But meanwhile the games-playing continues and intensifies, and it’s only a matter of time before some Russian or American gets killed by the other side.

Silly buggers.

Media gag order on school board trustees is irresponsible Editorial by Stephen Petrick There are so many questions worth asking right now to Hastings Prince Edward District School Board trustees, particularly to David Patterson and Mary Hall, who both represent the Belleville region.

Was the decision to close Quinte Secondary School the right one? How would you explain it to students and parents? Why was QSS considered expendable, when Moira Secondary School was not?

And how heavily did the accommodation review process weigh on your shoulders?

But you won’t read answers to these questions in these pages – at least not to the extent that you should. Metroland Media requested to speak to the two trustees, through board communications director Kerry Donnell, following a vote on June 19 that will lead to the closure of several schools, including QSS. But the reporter was told the two trustees cannot speak to media. Instead, the newspaper could speak to board chair Lucille Kyle, who is the official spokesperson for the board of trustees.

Kyle, graciously, spoke and answered questions, as did Education Director Mandy Savery-Whiteway. The problem is that Kyle is a trustee who represents the North Hastings area. As chair, she’s certainly responsible for the decisions, but a vote on closing schools in Belleville likely was not as emotional to her, as it would have been for Patterson and Hall, two elected officials who serve the area. Surely, they were both inundated with emails and comments from constituents leading up to the vote and they owe these people answers.

And while it was good of Savery-Whiteway to talk, she is a public servant who works in an objective role. She can deliver facts to the media and talk about the administrative nature of school board work, but she’s not as free to give opinions on sensitive subjects as an elected official presumably would be.

The job of a journalist when covering a pub-

lic institution, such as a school board, is to ask questions to officials that he or she feels the general public would want answers to. The fact that Patterson and Hall were sheltered from the media shows incredibly poor judgement from the school board.

Metroland was later told that this order is a result of a long-standing board policy; one which requests the board of trustees to act all as one cohesive unit. There were times, throughout the accommodation review process when other trustees spoke to media, Donnell pointed out. But they did this in error, unaware of their own policy.

But if that’s the board’s policy, we must say this: It’s a horribly bad policy. It’s insensitive to the fact that boards are made up different human beings, with different opinions on subjects. And it’s certainly not normal. The idea of a reporter not being able to speak to a municipal councillor following a meeting is unheard of in the areas we cover.

To be clear, almost no one in the world is legally required to speak to media. Generally, elected officials do it for the sake of being transparent and gaining the publicity they need, if they wish to seek re-election.

And the fact that trustees weren’t to speak to media following the vote wasn’t really an inconvenience to the deadline-natured work of reporters.

There was plenty of information available, following the vote, to fill newspaper space and airwaves.

The policy – or the media gag-order, as we’ll call it – is ultimately a disservice to taxpayers, particularly those from school communities impacted by the recent vote, which include communities in Centre Hastings and Prince Edward County. Many people want to know why their trustees made the vote they did and how they feel about the future of local schools.

Trustees may well have thorough and respectable answers to those questions. But we’ll never know for sure.

Heritage Centre in Madoc opens to celebrate Canada 150

Asphodel-Norwood ready for big Canada Day party

BY BILL FREEMAN

Norwood — Asphodel-Norwood has plenty of things planned for Canada’s big 150th birthday party, starting off with the official opening of the Mill Pond Forests Trail at 2 p.m. on July 1. The network of trails surrounding the historic mill pond is a developing project that aims to highlight one of the area’s most beautiful natural assets.

At 4 p.m., the action shifts to the community centre where all of the township’s Canada Day celebrations will take place, including the presentation of the prestigious Jack and Marguerite Stewart Community Recognition Award and the Norwood IODE’s Canada 150 Good Citizenship Award.

The Senior of the Year will also be announced during the opening ceremonies, which begin at 7 p.m.

There will be activities for all ages including entertainment, a barbecue, classic car show, and farmer’s Olympics. A decorated bicycle parade will take place at 5:30 p.m.

Children’s activities include a bouncy castle, face-painting, dunk tank, ice cream, cotton candy, corn table, treasure hunt, Sparky the Safety Dog, glow sticks, crafts, and a children’s poster contest.

The splash pad will also be open throughout the day.

Local hockey player Sheldon Bolton will also read his award-winning Ontario Minor Hockey Association “My Coach Teaches Me” essay during the opening ceremony.

Canada Day festivities at the community centre run from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Canada 150 at O’Hara Mill a chance to say thank you to pioneers

BY SUE DICKENS

O’Hara Mill Homestead — “Canada 150 is a chance to say thank you to our pioneer families, without them we wouldn’t be here today,” said Fred Bendell, member of the O’Hara Volunteers Association.

“Their hard work and effort made Madoc what it is today. This is a chance to acknowledge the birthday of our great country,” he added.

A special repatriation ceremony will take place that day at the homestead.

A few years ago a pre-Canada day celebration was held, “similar to a strawberry social,” according to Rod Woods, chair of O’Hara Volunteers Association.

But the celebrations on July 1 will be a first at the Homestead on the actual day.

The recent Canada 150 grant is the impetus for going forward, Bendell says; it’s a chance to grow and offer more opportunities for displaying pioneer activities at the mill. “Our country is always growing and so is O’Hara Mill.”

He sees this as an opportunity to “extend our awareness and our opportunities, our sharing with the community.”

The promise of the volunteers is “to preserve the pioneer heritage and continually add to the facility to share with the community and show

members and visitors what pioneer life was like.”

Always maintaining the Homestead and equipment on site, the volunteers will be building a barn this year and will be starting to grow their own crops after acquiring 15 acres of land next door which was part of the original Homestead.

“With support of the Parrott Foundation and membership and friends we were able to come up with the money to make the purchase so now it is part of the Quinte Conservation property,” he explained. O’Hara volunteers manage the property.

The “Tales and Trails North of Seven” bus tour which is being hosted by the O’Hara volunteers and was put together by Grant Ketcheson is part of the July 1 celebration.

“People will hop on the bus for a historic trip through Madoc Township and area. Grant’s great uncle was the first reeve of Madoc Township,” said Bendell.

Rockin’ the Canada 150 theme in Hastings

Thomasburg celebrated Canada’s 150 birthday perfectly

BY LYNN MARRIOTT

bfreeman@theemc.ca

Thomasburg – It was perfect weather for a perfect celebration of Canada’s 150 birthday.

Thomasburg held a town party, free to everyone, thanks to Municipality of Tweed’s Canada 150 funding to the hamlets.

On June 24, fifty attended the morning dedication of the Thomasburg spring. In 1820, Thomas Clare discovered “a spring of water bubbling out of the ground … He never forgot it … and returned ten years later to settle by the spring,” states the Thomasburg Hall plaque.

A bust statue of Clare, recently chain sawed by Levi Caya, was unveiled to applause.

The hamlet bustled. All afternoon, Blaine Way and his two horses pulling a large wagon, ferried 100 riders back and forth through town. The 150 visitors traveled by foot and wagon, between the statue and spring, town hall and church. They toured the Paul Kennedy cemetery and enjoyed strawberries and ice cream in the hall.

Ed Geen organized a showing of 17 vintage cars that sparkled in the sunshine. The People’s

Hastings — They’re rockin’ the Canada 150 theme in Hastings.

Painted rocks will be sprouting up all over the village around July 1 thanks to a “Hastings Rocks” campaign that’s captured the imagination of residents and visitors alike. There are even members of the Hastings Rocks Facebook page living thousands of miles away who’ve caught some of the village’s Canada 150 fever.

“It really seems to be taking off and it’s intrigued people,” says artisan Lynn Rogers, a Hastings Revitalization member who hatched the idea along with Erin Farley.

They’ve set up a Facebook page that explains the simple concept, which encourages people to paint Canada Daythemed rocks and then hide them in accessible locations around town. The rocks are numbered (only 150 will be hidden) with Hastings Rocks Facebook on the back, and the people who find them are encouraged to take a photo of them and post it to the Facebook page. If they want to keep the rock they can, but they need to replace it with another painted rock.

“The 150 theme was kind of the launch,” says Rogers. “After that, we really hope people will just continue painting whenever they want and hide them around town.

“It’s a really good way to promote the town because every rock will have a “Facebook Hastings Rocks” on the back, so they’ll find us.”

Rogers says Hastings Rocks is unique among the hundreds of Canada 150

More than 100 people rode in Blaine Way’s, 40 year-old wagon, pulled by his main event mares - sisters, Sara and Susie. The horses, ½ Haflinger, ¼ Belgium and ¼ Welsh, took full wagonloads through Thomasburg, executing perfect 180 turns at the end of Carter Street to return to the hall for another wagonload.

Choice award went to 7 year-old Ethan Dobb, of Thomasburg, who entered his go-cart. Jack Jeffs was second and Don Farrell third.

An 1879 name quilt was on display in the church.

For 10 cents per, for the 1000 names, it raised $100 to purchase a church organ. Outside volunteers flipped hamburgers sating appetites. Everywhere people chatted and exchanged smiles.

The celebration ended with an audience of 70 enjoying a free concert

by musicians, The Real Coyotes - Matt Snell and J.C. Pigeon and “2ish” Saskia Tomkins and Brendan Scott Besharah.

In March, Ginny Campbell, Janice McConnell, Bill Phillips, Carol and Peter Snell, Susan Walsh and her son Seamus, Dawson and Violetta Welsh began the party preparations. The beautification committee of Edna and Larry Allen, Jim Brown, Jessica Hughson, Carol Martin and Karen Teasdale tended the gardens.

Their hard work showed.

events.

“I’m really excited about it. It’s a really fun event,” said Farley. “It’s big in the United States. Some of those rocks go from one state to another.”

Farley hopes that the Hastings rocks also travel far and wide, and would love to see boaters get involved and pass the Hastings Rocks message on during their travels.

Hastings — Visitors flocked to Hastings June 24 and came away with a summer’s worth and more of reading material thanks to the Friends of the Hastings Branch Library.

The Friends of the Library have made a habit of throwing the best book sales in the area and the summer edition is a prime destination for local and cottage visitors looking to stock their shelves.

This year’s summer sale covered all genres and interests — paperback and hardcover — NEWSPAPER RETRACTION FOR THE BEST BUY JUNE 23 CORPORATE FLYER In the June 23rd flyer, page 15, the ACER Switch Alpha 12’’ Windows 2-in-1 Tablet (WebCode: 10437049) was advertised with an incorrect price.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our valued customers.

and included a large selection of children’s material. The Friends and Hastings Branch Library were assisted by generous supporters who donated additional books to round out the sale; many of those books came from Peterborough.

Shoppers were invited to make a donation rather than purchase books based on a set price.

The Friends of the Library will now turn their energies to plan for their Sept. 29 author’s night featuring highly-regarded Prince Edward County mystery writer, storyteller and folklorist Janet Kellough.

Norwood students raise Pride flag as symbol of openness a while but waited until June to attach it to the school’s flagpole.

“We thought it would be good to raise it now as it’s Pride month and it’s very symbolic,”

BY BILL FREEMAN bfreeman@theemc.ca

Norwood — The Pride flag flies over Norwood District High School as a symbol of “openness and diversity” and as a rainbow-coloured reminder to the community that the small rural school has a big welcoming heart.

That is the intention, say student council members who raised the flag June 21 as a tribute to Toronto’s Pride month and similar celebrations that take place across Ontario this month. At least 10 Ontario communities celebrate Pride in June; Peterborough Pride is in September.

“It really is important that the school shows its openness and how welcoming it is as a community and that is allows different backgrounds, different sexualities, and different races to harmonize together,” said Grade 10 student Abby Partington, a member of the student council’s equity and diversity committee.

This is the first time the Pride flag has flown at NDHS and Abby says the

Raising the flag is “definitely about making people feel more welcomed”, said student council president Alexa Vanderhorst.

Learning Life Skills teacher and student council adviser Diane Graham agreed.

“When people look up and see the flag, this is an affirmation of a place that

you feel good to come to,” said Graham.

“That’s why our shirts are rainbow-coloured; we’re acknowledging that. When people go by and see the Pride flag, they will say: ‘This is a welcoming place. This is where I can feel comfortable and where that is not only acknowledged but affirmed. This is a place to be yourself.’”

Campbellford — To celebrate Canada’s 150th, Westben is hosting a free Canada Dreams concert on Sunday, July 2 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. It will be a free community celebration, with music in The Barn and on the meadow.

“The Westben Dream Canoe will be on display and still collecting dreams on paddles. So far, the canoe has collected more than 700 dreams for Canada from area schools, service clubs and community events. These paddles filled with dreams for Canada will be displayed on the meadow and also digitally throughout the day in The Barn,” said Westben’s marketing director, Donna Bennett.

The meadow will be filled with art and photography displays by Ah! Arts and Heritage Centre in Warkworth and Spirit of the Hills.

Activities for kids include banner making with textile artist Skye Morrison, a musical instrument petting zoo by Peterborough’s Long and McQuade, and henna and facepainting by Artwork.

For foodies, there is a beef barbecue by Windswept, Pizan Pie’s famous wood oven pizza and snacks at the Trough.

Northumberland’s Contemporary Dance Collective will perform a short dance based on the stories of Susanna Moodie and Catherine Parr Traill.

The afternoon features a variety of music and musicians, including Ojibwa drummer Jordan Mowat from Alderville.

The Westben choirs will perform songs that Brian Finley, Westben’s artistic director, has composed based on the dreams submitted by the choirs.

A new set of performers will showcase their talents at the top of every hour for 20 or 30 minutes, then celebrations will move outside onto the meadow until the top of the next hour.

At 4 p.m. is the world première of Sunrise For Sally, a spoken word poem which curates the reflections of three generations of Canadians, set to an original music score by local jazz bassist Howard Baer and created by Nikki Fotheringham.

The search is on for a Hospice Care Centre site

BY SUE DICKENS

Northumberland — Following closely on the heels of the provincial operating funding announcement in May for three hospice care beds, Community Care Northumberland (CCN) is introducing its early volunteer leadership for the Hospice Care Centre project.

As a result of the $315,000 announcement by Dr. Eric Hoskins, minister of health and long-term care, CCN is in a position to proceed with the planning and fundraising.

“We are very pleased to announce that we have some strong community leadership on the project, and already, these volunteers have started their work,” stated CCN executive director Trish Baird.

“This dedicated group is at work on behalf of the individuals and families in the communities we serve to further shape and support the Hospice Care Centre. They are working toward ensuring that, together, we can offer a much more comprehensive suite of hospice care services and additional options at the end of life.”

A precampaign team has been created to put the foundation in place for the capital campaign, including the

identification and recruitment of the campaign cabinet.

Financial support will be required for both the capital costs (building and equipment) and the additional ongoing operations costs of the centre.

Precampaign team members include: Stewart Richardson; Selena Forsyth; Jessica Holt; Sherry Gibson; Trish Baird; Alicia Vandine; and representatives from The Dennis Group, fundraising consulting specialists.

Meanwhile, a building committee has also been created. Initially, this committee’s role will be to secure an appropriate site and work toward a conceptual design for the building.

Building committee members include: Stewart Richardson, chair; Art Seymour; Leslie Benson; Ian Lancaster; Ross Quigley; Trish Baird; Cheryl McFarlane; and Phil Carter.

The site selection is the next priority.

Community members with information about potential site locations, or who wish to volunteer as part of the project, are encouraged to contact Baird at 1-866-514-5774 or via email at hospicecarecentre@commcare.ca.

The hike raised over $4,100 and was organized by the Norwood IODE, who traditionally holds a summer walk-a-thon. This year, they decided to donate the proceeds to the hospice project. The idea of a rural hospice in Norwood was set in motion by IODE members, who had talked among themselves about the need for a local facility.

Several IODE members are now Hospice Norwood directors.

“Originally, we thought we’d do hospice as part of an IODE initiative, but felt it was more of a community effort, but with tons of support from IODE,” said Hospice Norwood director and longtime IODE member Laurie Inglis.

“We walk every year, but this year, there are quite a few more walking,” Inglis said. “The IODE said they’d very willingly donate the proceeds.”

Hospice Norwood continues to raise funds and wait for its charitable registration number, which will allow it to issue tax receipts and launch a

major capital campaign, as well as start work on the house they plan to repurpose into a two-bed hospice.

The committee has said it would like to raise $500,000 for capital needs.

“We’re just continuing to keep the momentum going. Once we get it (registration number) we can start actually working on the house,” said Inglis.

Before they “sank their teeth” into the project, the group visited a number of hospices including the Bridge Hospice in Warkworth, which they see

as their model.

“We loved what we saw (and) that’s what we want to create,” said Inglis. “After seeing what’s out there, we think we can create a really great hospice in Norwood.”

Although the hospice will be in Norwood, Inglis stresses that it will serve a wider catchment area.

“It’s not just for Norwood. We wouldn’t turn anyone away if we had a room available.”

Benefits of Straight Shafts

Straight shaft brushcutters are the choice of lawn care professionals and large property owners. They are known to manage heavier brush and thicker weeds better than curved shaft models. Straight shaft brushcutters have more reach and some can interchange cutting attachments like metal blades to offer enhanced versatility. Taller individuals enjoy the extended length of the shaft. For the avid user bike handles are also available.

Stirling provides Brain Food for Kids this summer

BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling — During the school year, children who arrive at school hungry are provided with free snacks.

But what happens during the summer when school is not in session?

In Stirling, Friends of the Library decided to start a summer program to help these kids. Called Brain Food For Kids, it will provide healthy snacks twice a week at the Stirling-Rawdon Public Library.

“We applied to the Food For Learning program at the (HastingsPrince Edward) School Board, and they supplied us with $500,” said Sarah Lanovaz, who is a member of the new Friends of the Library committee. “We're hoping that the students who really use the program during the school year can get to the library.”

As someone who is part of the school food program, she is certain the

need is there.

“At the school, we normally provide 20 lunches plus a container of snacks (per day),” she said. Children involved in the school lunch program will receive notices about the library program with their lunches on the last day of school.

The library program will run from 10:15 to 11 a.m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

“We're starting on July 5, the first Wednesday of the summer after school closes. Sept. 2 is the last day,” Lanovaz said.

The program will begin with 15 snacks each of the days, and will be adjusted up or down as needed.

The food will consist of fresh fruits and vegetables, crackers and cheese.

Since the library does not have a drinking fountain, she is hoping to get bottled water donated for the program. Already a small fridge has been donated for snacks that have to be

Stirling Grade 1 students plant garden to help pollinators

BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling — Students at Stirling Public School have been very concerned with the need to save bees and other important insects, so this year, the Grade 1 classes took action.

“We learned that many pollinators — butterflies, dragonflies, moths, hummingbirds and especially the bees — need our help!” explained Roxane Mossman-Cross, one of the Grade 1 teachers. “The Grade 1s decided to make a garden for the pollinators.”

The students made wildflower seed paper to take home to their families to plant in their gardens and handed out echinacea seeds, which were donated by a company called A. Vogel, at the school's fun fair to raise money for a pollinator garden.

They worked on their garden this spring and

completed it in June.

“We contacted Bee City Canada, and applied to be a 'Bee City School' and our application was accepted,” Mossman-Cross said.

On Monday, June 12, representatives from Bee City Canada visited the school to teach the children more about bees and their important role as pollinators. They also presented the students with a framed certificate and with signs for the garden.

The other Grade 1 teachers, all of whom worked on the project, are Merideth Cooney, Brenda LeeCook and Shelia Tracey.

The Grade 1s also worked hard earlier in the school year to raise awareness about the need to conserve Ontario's endangered Little Brown Bats.

kept cold.

Fellow committee member Esther Noel said the committee see the library as a community resource where needs can be met.

With that in mind, they are also starting a toy lending service where children can borrow an outdoor toy to play with at the nearby park, under the supervision of high school volunteers, during program hours.

“If people want to donate (outdoor toys), that would be great,” she said.

People can get more information about volunteering with Brain Food For Kids or donating suitable toys by dropping by the library on Wednesday and Saturday mornings while the program is running.

As for who can enjoy a snack, Noel said it's for any children and teens The grade 1 students and their teachers at Stirling Public School gathered around their who want one.

Early registrants for Bike Up Northumberland in running for barbecue

BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford – Registering early for this year’s Bike Up Northumberland event will give participants the opportunity to win a barbecue.

The third annual Home Hardware Bike Up Northumberland is a charity ride, first introduced in 2015 in support of two hospitals in Northumberland County.

It is a joint-event benefitting Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH) Foundation and Northumberland Hills Hospital (NHH) Foundation.

Organizers are encouraging an early registration to get things heated up so they are offering a barbecue worth $600.

“If you register for this year’s Home Hardware Bike Up Northumberland by July 31, not only will you receive early bird registration pricing of $50 per rider or $50 per family, you will also be entered into a draw to win a barbecue generously donated by Home Hardware with a value of at $600,” stated executive director of

NHH Foundation Rhonda Cunningham.

“We are hoping this will encourage riders to register early to increase the amount of time they will have to raise pledges for the event.”

All proceeds from this event, which takes place along our scenic Waterfront Trail, will be split equally between Northumberland Hills Hospital and Campbellford Memorial Hospital foundations.

The draw for the winner of the barbecue will take place on Wednesday, Aug. 2 and the winner will be notified promptly after the draw to arrange pick up.

To register go to: www.bikeupnorthumberland.ca or contact either CMH or NHH Hospital foundations.

For more information, email Catherine Holt at cholt@CMH.ca or email Natasha Jacobs at njacobs@nhh.ca.

The event takes place on Saturday, Sept.

9 from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Donegan Park, 25 D’Arcy St., Cobourg.

Stirling could be home to musical instrument lending library

BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling – Local musician James Reid says Stirling’s location in the middle of Hastings County makes it ideal to house a future Musical Instrument Lending Library (MILL).

Speaking at the June meeting of the Stirling-Rawdon Public Library Board, Reid said he has been working on the concept for about four years.

He said there are MILLs across Canada, including one in Prince Edward County and another in Kingston.

Reid said Stirling is ideal, not just because of its central location, but because it has a strong artistic community and an excellent library which could host the program. He said he has the resources, expertise and musical connections to make it work.

“The people I’ve talked to — the musicians are supportive,” he said.

Board chairman Councillor Dean Graff said he loves the idea, and Counc. Bob Mullin said he has talked about this with Reid for years and supports it.

Asked how much space is needed, Reid said the donated instruments could be kept at the library if there

is room, or in various locations. If an instrument is ordered from another library in Hastings County, it can be transported from Stirling to that library for pickup, as is done in PEC. He suggested an annual fee for a Stirling MILL of $15 per person, which the person can renew each year.

He has prepared a detailed list of proposed policies, staffing needs and costs.

He said the first step is to create a committee, then that group can put together an organizational plan, search for storage space, obtain instruments and finally do some fundraising. He said the estimated cost for the first year would be about $10,000.

“My hope is that we could open something like this this fall,” he said.

The library board voted to create a subcommittee consisting of Mullin, Reid, board member Ashley Reid and interim CEO Jaye Bannon to explore the possibility of creating a county-wide MILL in Stirling.

was “surreal,” he said.

Both had taken six conformation classes in preparation for the event and other competitions they plan to enter in the coming months, including shows at Norwood, Port Hope, Brockville and Ottawa.

The Pattersons and their two daughters, Jaydyn, 10, and Alex, 7, who also showed the dogs at Orono and “looked like seasoned veterans,” are loving their new pastime and enjoying it as a family, Jason said. “It's amazing, we've had so much fun ... It's an interesting new world.”

With almost three acres in their backyard on Grand Road for the two dogs to run around in, “we have the means, we have the space, we have the desire” to enter more shows, said Jason, a child and youth worker.

“I want to compete against the best of the best.”

Patterson, who grew up with Weimaraners as pets, said, “They have a great personality; they think they're human, and they're very comical (and) loving.”

Serving as the Pattersons' mentor is Warkworth resident Greg Newton, Canada's leading Weimaraner breeder, with the country's top two dogs in the breed to his credit.

“He's taken us under his wing to help guide us, and teach us a bit of the ins and the outs of the business,” Jason said.

Skate park supporters step up with donation

Celebrating 80 years 15 pc Chicken Family Fries

Campbellford – Appearing in the show ring for the first time with a pup also making its debut, Jayne Patterson schooled the competition – in a nice way – at the Ontario County Kennel Club All-Breed Championship Dog Show, collecting a bundle of firsts.

Patterson, a special education resource teacher at Hillcrest Public School, showed Nova, a six-month Weimaraner that was named best puppy in breed and best of breed in four of the shows as well as best puppy in group twice and the best of winners once at the event held recently in Orono.

“I really didn't have any expectations other than to ... see what it was all about,” Patterson said. “It was very exciting and everyone was very kind.”

“I still can 't believe that it happened,” said Patterson's husband, Jason, who showed Vega, another Weimaraner puppy which earned several seconds.

It was also the first time in the ring for both handler and dog.

“It's a very new venture for both of us,” Jason said, but “Jayne was a natural.”

The couple's goal for their first show was to have each dog earn a point toward the 10 needed to reach the standard of Canadian champion, but having Nova collect nine the first time out

BY BILL FREEMAN

Norwood – Youthful skate park supporters stepped up with a donation to the Township of Asphodel-Norwood in their quest to bring an expanded facility to the municipality. Brothers Blake and Brody Graham brought an $1,800 cheque to council, along with a 668-signature petition, as part of their campaign to see the village’s “small and overcrowded” park enlarged.

So far, the campaign has raised $3,045.

The township has learned that for $5,000, the Canadian Ramp Company in Oakville could provide a design and cost estimate for an upgraded facility. Part of the consultation would include a public meeting to solicit skate park ideas.

Council has made no commitment on an expanded skate park, nor has it approved a formal feasibility study.

“Any funds that have been received have been earmarked for potential upgrades to the park if a larger vision is not adopted by council,” said chief administrative officer, clerk and treasurer Candice White.

“I do believe the $5,000 is kind of the next step as far as getting a company in and looking at the feasibility of getting a skate park in; to get some real concrete numbers around it. Right now, it’s still pie-in-the-sky from a financial sense. We don’t have anything concrete we’re working (from).”

“It’s your call,” she told council.

More About Kobe Durst Durst, who grew up in Madoc, said, “I used to love wrestling, I watched it all the time.” His mom supported his interest and agreed to drive him to Toronto to take a wrestling class.

“So that’s what her weekend looked like every weekend,” he said with a grin. “After a while people saw me and wanted to use me on their shows. The whole point is to try to get booked on large shows and I was pretty

young when I started, something like 15.”

He remembers his first show in Madoc was in 2012. “Now 400 shows later, well, I’m back,” he added laughing. And he has wrestled in a lot of places, including Quebec, New York, Atlanta, Chicago, and Tennessee.

When he’s not wrestling he has a day job as a personal trainer at Good Life Fitness in Brampton where he lives right now.

Notice of Annual General Meeting

BY SUE DICKENS

Madoc – Local boy “Diamond Tiger” Kobe Durst, 21, will battle his way into the ring in the hopes of winning the “Smash Wrestling” event and wow audiences with his style on the mat on July 2, from 3 to 4:30 p.m. at the Madoc Arena. The live event will feature six professional wrestling matches.

In a wild, and unpredictable brawl on June 17 in Ottawa, the C*4 Underground Champion managed to narrowly retain his championship against Vanessa Kraven.

Fiercely holding up two belts featuring wins from the C*4 Underground championship and the other from the AlphaMale Championship, this young professional wrestler takes his sport very seriously.

But it’s also a show for his fans.

“I think 90 per cent of wrestling is fake, people who come know that. In wrestling we call it suspending disbelief,” he explained. “I am looking forward to coming to Madoc. I went to both public schools there and the high school."

He will get to see his parents Tammy and Joseph Durst who live in Foxboro.

“They’ve always been very supportive of my wrestling. I know it’s a little bit of a weird choice,” Durst told the Central Hastings-Trent Hills News.

He talked about the “cult-like” following of fans which are part of his life as a wrestler, noting “there’s a crazy online market for DVDs, T-shirts and stuff.”

And of course he’s all over social media with a Facebook page, (www. facebook.com/DTKobeDurst/) Twitter account and Instagram presence.

Smash Wrestling is just one of 10 companies he works for as a wrestler.

Durst is “usually the bad guy” in the ring but said when he competes in Madoc that might change because it is his hometown.

Durst's trademark holds are the Kobe-Breaker, and the FameAsser.

His real name is Adam Durst, which he changed to give himself an edge in the ring.

“I wanted something a little more edgy so when people started calling me a diamond in the rough I thought of Diamond Tiger.”

Tickets can be purchased at the following Madoc locations: Madoc Arena, Lions Club, Home Hardware, Sunny Side Up, Municipality of Centre Hastings.

Central Hastings Family Health Team will hold the 2017 Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Tuesday July 11, 2017 at 10:30 a.m. at the Tudor and Cashel Municipal Office.

Members of the public are welcome to attend.

The purpose of the AGM is to address the election of the Board of Directors for the 2017-2018 fiscal year, as well as receive audited financial statements for the 2016-2017 year, to present the Chairs’ Report to the membership, to appoint auditors for 2017-2018, and to discuss any further items raised which pertain to the agency’s activities.

The AGM will be followed by the business meeting.

Sports Wall of Fame notable joining Rebels' coaching staff

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford – A Quinte West Sports Wall of Fame honouree is joining the Campbellford Rebels as an assistant coach.

Bill Glover “brings a solid hockey background to the team,” and “will be a great asset,” coach and general manager Brent Tupling said, noting Glover won two Ontario Minor Hockey Association provincial championships as a player and two more as a coach, all in Trenton.

He also played Junior B hockey with the Pickering Panthers, and coached at the Junior A and C levels.

Glover, who was a Wall of Fame inductee as a builder in 2014, has “done a lot of developing players ... over the years,” Tupling said. “He's got a good history.”

Tupling is still looking for one more assistant to complete his staff as he prepares for his first season as head of the Provincial Junior Hockey League team, which has finished last the past two seasons in its division.

The Rebels are still putting together a roster.

“It's coming along really well,” Tupling said. “I'm really happy with what we've had out. We've been running some development skates ... over the last month, and we've

started signing a few players.”

“Everything's moving forward at a good pace.”

The team will be looking to sign about 20 players altogether.

“Some of the veterans we're still waiting ... to find out if they're coming back,” he said.

The team will host an eight-team tournament in September in Trenton as a tune-up for the season

Donnan’s Fire Globe wows MPs, prime minister on Hill Ottawa - The stunning metal creation that captured the imagination and wonder of local residents made its way to Parliament Hill this week On Wednesday, MPs area Neil Ellis and Mike Bossio ushered a steady stream of MPs, cabinet ministers and even Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to the steps outside the Parliament Building to meet the artist, Shawn Donnan, of Quinte West, and his Canada 150 Fire Globe.

Metroland Media’s Belleville News first introduced Donnan’s creation in our pages June 15 and since then interest in the globe has soared.

A longtime resident and dairy farmer from Stirling, Donnan, is also an established welder.

“His talent for original design, evidenced by the range of products offered at Horizon Metal Works, has consistently fired up the imaginations of his clientele,” said Ellis. “A popular product, his ‘fire globes’ are a redesigned circular fire-pit that can be powered by propane or natural gas rings, bonfires, or even LED lights.”

Donnan’s latest project has received immense acclaim, both for its fusion of artistry in this trade with a sincere passion for Canada. Constructed primarily of steel, his Canada 150 Fire Globe features iconic Canadian symbols that represent our natural world, history, and eagerness to build a brighter future. Beavers, geese, loonies, toonies and more, adorn the globe.

As a steady stream of dignitaries stopped to snap photos of the globe Wednesday, Donnan was asked repeatedly how he managed to craft such a stunning tribute to Canada’s 150th birthday.

“Giving shape to a new way to celebrate Canada’s upcoming anniversary

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau joins MPs Neil Ellis and Mike Bossio with metal artisan Shawn Donnan outside Parliament with Donnan’s Canada 150 Fire Globe.

of Confederation, the Canada 150 Fire Globe has established Donnan as a metal artisan most deserving of recognition.

MPs Bossio and Ellis both applaud the patriotism of this local luminary,” said a statement from Ellis’ office.

“Something this beautiful, and boldly patriotic, must be shared beyond our community. We’re glad that Shawn has worked so hard to help us celebrate Canada 150 in such an original way,” said Ellis.

“Shawn’s work is the perfect example of rural ingenuity and craftsmanship at its finest. I’m so proud to see our community represented so well at our country’s parliament today,” added Bossio.

There are reports the globe may make its way to Wellington next Friday for the visit of Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, to the Farmer’s Market there and local winery Norman Hardie.

Royal watchers rejoice: Itinerary for tour released

BY CHRIS MALETTE

Details of the visit of Charles Prince of Wales, and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, to the Quinte region have been released and it’s a whirlwind, one-day visit packed with appearances at CFB Trenton and Prince Edward County.

Charles and Camilla arrive in Trenton Friday from Nunavut, where they were to spend the day Thursday, June 29.

The local segment of the itinerary is spelled out as following, released this week by Ottawa officials overseeing the tour: Friday, June 30 – Tour of Trenton and Wellington, Prince Edward County.

The Prince of Wales attends SAR demonstrations, meets with SAR members and their families, and learns about the program’s services. The Duchess of Cornwall meets with The

Charles, the Prince of Wales, and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, shown here on a walkabout earlier this year outside London, will arrive in Quinte Friday, June 30, for a quick tour of the region.

Queen’s Own Rifles, an Army Reserve regiment based in downtown Toronto and Scarborough …

“The Prince of Wales meets beneficiaries and supporters of the Prince’s Operation Entrepreneur, an initiative of Prince’s Charities Canada which provides transitioning military personnel and veterans with the education, training and resources they need to start a

business. His Royal Highness meets with veterans who are now business owners and have been supported by this program.”

At 12:30 p.m. - Honouring the fallen at the Afghanistan Repatriation Memorial: “The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall honour those Canadians who paid the ultimate sacrifice by

laying a wreath and a floral spray at the memorial…” The memorial is located near Bain Park at the foot of RCAF Road and Highway 2.

Wellington, Prince Edward County, Ontario 1:15 p.m. Visit Wellington Farmer’s Market in Prince Edward County: “The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall visit the booths,

stopping to chat with vendors and artisans at the Wellington Farmer’s Market Visit Norman Hardie Winery and meet local vintners and farmers.”

Following the walkabout at the Farmers Market, the Royals will “visit Norman Hardie Winery (and) visit various stations offering locally sourced food and wine prepared by celebrity chefs, local farmers and producers who operate in the area.”

It is not known where the Royals will overnight, whether it will be in Prince Edward County or on to Ottawa for Canada Day festivities following their day in Quinte.

However, the itinerary shows they have a busy and event-filled day for Canada’s 150th birthday celebration.

Their day begins at the Canadian Museum of History where they will help open the Canadian History Hall.

After a visit to Parliament Hill “for a spectacular celebration of all things Canadian,” the Prince of Wales will open the newly renovated National Arts Centre.

After a visit to Canadian tech firm, Shopify, Charles will once again get an opportunity to help open a new Ottawa landmark. Charles and Camilla will be involved in the unveiling of The Queen’s Entrance at Rideau Hall. The Queen’s entrance will have a new set of doors which “were designed to symbolize 150 years of Canada’s history.”

Happy Birthday Canada!

Eldorado – An investigation by the Quinte Humane Society (QHS) following a report that a dog had been “tossed” from a truck on Old Hastings Road, Eldorado, last Sun., June 18, has led to the discovery of the dog’s owner.

“We’ve since been able to locate the owner of the dog. He indicated it ran away,” QHS Executive Director Frank Rockett told the Central Hastings News today, June 23.

“Potentially if the dog ran away somebody picked it up and the dog may have hopped out or was tossed out, we don’t know,” he added.

“The truck was not going fast and the dog was not injured persay . . . the dog is going for a vet visit this afternoon . . . then the dog is going back to its owner. Our investigation indicated the dog can be returned. We don’t have any evidence against the owner.”

When pressed further Rockett stated, “We don’t know if there is any guilt on the part of the owner. We can’t say they’ve done something wrong. We don’t have anything linking this to the owner.

“The story that was reported to us is that a dog had been tossed out of a truck,” said Rockett. He confirmed the truck did not stop.

The witness described the truck that as a silver Chevy Silverado, but was unable to get a licence plate number.

Without providing the name of the dog he did say he is a two or three-year-old Beagle and Bassett Hound mix.

Rockett pointed out the situation has been very “traumatic for the animal and he is better to be outside the shel-

New Hastings County official plan moving slowly

BY JACK EVANS

It will be many months yet before Hastings County new official plan is in place.

At a meeting of the Planning and Development Committee last Wednesday, arrangements were discussed for meetings with individual municipalities. An original proposal from planning staff was to hold three meetings, one in the north, centre and south in working toward a year-end approval by county council.

Members opted instead for meetings with each municipality.

Lone dissenter was Reeve Terry Clemens of Marmora and Lake. “If we hold joint meetings, we can feed off each other’s ideas

and concerns,” he argued. He won his point in having all 14 municipalities notified of such meetings and to be allowed to send a representative if they can or want to. The plan must also be approved by provincial officials before it is in effect.

The “draft” plan, as approved at the last meeting of county council, has already generated some concerns. Mayor Tom Deline of Centre Hastings asked, “Can we appeal anything in this document, or can anything be changed?” He noted that his council had already gone over it and had some concerns.

He was assured that as it is still a draft plan changes are allowed.

A related concern was correspondence from the province advising of new policies

and standards to encourage “secondary residential units.”

“We were hoping to deal with this in our new official plan,” commented Justin Harrow, director of planning services.

This too raised alarms for Deline in terms of lot sizes and other issues, which he figured would be similar for some other rural municipalities. Several other members of the committee agreed.

The committee also received a notification that the nature preserve provincial park, Stoco Fen, east of Tweed, is being expanded to almost double its original size. The ministry’s announcement called it a “minor boundary amendment,” from 203 hectares to 353 hectares, or almost 75 per cent.

The notice drew no comments or concerns.

Also going without comment was notification of rehabilitation of the Norris Whitney Bridge at Belleville, starting this fall and again next year. “Purpose of this project is to improve the durability of the structure as a holding strategy for the next 10 to 15 years to decide whether or not the bridge will be replaced.”

Most of the work will keep the bridge open to at least one lane of traffic until a short full closure period in September of next year. By that time a new bridge at Carrying Place will be complete as well as rehabilitation of the Quinte Skyway bridge at Deseronto.

Happy 150th Birthday, Canada!

BY JOHN M. SMITH

Communities across Canada will be celebrating our 150th birthday on July 1, and it’ll be an especially festive, exciting time to be a Canadian. Ottawa, being our capital, will be at centre-stage for this event, but celebratory events and opportunities will be available right across our great land, whether one happens to be in Vancouver, British Columbia on Canada’s west coast, St. John’s, Newfoundland on our east coast, at Whitehorse in the Yukon, or right here at West Zwick’s Island Park in Belleville (with this year’s expanded 3-day celebration). Just get out and enjoy!

I’ve previously written about many of our national parks and advocated visiting some of them this particular year, for entrance fees have been waived as part of our birthday celebrations. This is also true for various historic sites and marine conservation areas – and there’s also no charge to use Parks Canada locks on our historic canals. For more information, check out Parks Canada’s website: www.pc.gc.ca/en/index.

Via Rail has offered a “Canada 150 Youth Pass”, allowing travelers between 12 and 25 to travel anywhere in Canada during the month of July for $150.00, and this has proven to be overwhelmingly popular. This pass was also available to those over 25 who held an International Student Identity Card (ISIC).

Furthermore, Via Rail has produced a blog, celebrating the year’s events (https://blog.viarail.ca/2017/02/03/ canada-150).

At ‘The Arches’, on Newfoundland’s ‘Viking Trail’.

CBC Radio has launched a national storytelling project entitled “What’s Your Story?”, and several of these will be shared throughout the year (www.cbc.ca/2017). Some will also be featured in a digital and hardcover book to be published this autumn: “What’s Your Story? – A Canada 2017 Yearbook”.

Were you aware that Canadian students were invited to create the official logo? Well. more than 300 entries were received, and the winning logo was created by Ariana Cuvin, from Toronto. It’s comprised of a series of diamonds arranged in the shape of a maple leaf, with the four diamonds at the base representing the four original provinces that formed Confederation in 1867 (Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia). Additional diamonds extend out from this base and create nine more points, completing today’s total of 10 provinces and 3 territories.

Were you also aware that on the

day after our birthday, some residents and visitors from both sides of the Ottawa River will enjoy an interprovincial picnic on the Alexandra Bridge? Apparently many did know about this, for it’s completely sold out.

There’s something very special about Canada! Although I like travelling, and writing about far-off, unique destinations, I also always enjoy returning to my homeland. On this special occasion, our 150th, I fondly remember some of the highlights of my Canadian adventures.

For example, one of my favourite trips was to Churchill in northern Manitoba, where I studied and photographed polar bears from the safety of a tundra buggy. I also fondly remember going out on a small boat

off Canada’s west coast, at Tofino, to watch black bears searching for food along the shoreline in the wee hours of the morning. Other Canadian highlights have included a heli-hiking trip in the Rockies, a helicopter tour over Niagara Falls, an excursion out onto the Columbia Icefield, a visit to the world’s smallest desert at Carcross, boat tours of the Thousand Islands and Georgian Bay Islands National Park, camping trips to Banff National Park, Wood Buffalo National Park, and Algonquin Provincial Park, driving tours of the Icefields Parkway, Gaspe Peninsula, Magdalen Islands, and the Cabot Trail, a whale watching expedition at Tadoussac, gold panning in the Yukon, and watching a sunrise at Cape Spear, Canada’s most easterly point.

As an avid cyclist, I’ve also pedaled across this country, from west coast to east coast, and Canada’s size and landscape certainly provided me with plenty of challenges - but what a feeling of accomplishment and of really ‘knowing’ the land! In addition to this memorable cycling adventure trek, I’ve also driven from ocean to ocean, and I’ve explored much of our nation by both air and train, too.

Through my travels, I’ve come to the conclusion that we’re extremely fortunate to be living in such a beautiful, large, diversified, and enchanting country!

Now that we’re celebrating our 150th birthday as a nation, this might be the perfect year for you to go exploring right here in our very own wonderful country!

CAS leads aboriginal initiatives

BY JACK EVANS

As Canada marked National Aboriginal Day on June 21 last week, officials of the Highland Shores Children’s Aid Society reminded that it and related CAS branches across Ontario have been proactive in such issues for some time.

A statement issued by Bonnie Perrigard, communications co-ordinator, on behalf of the agency, notes that Highland Shores CAS, which serves Northumberland, Hastings and Prince Edward counties already has “collaborative working relationships with the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte and the Alderville First Nation. “We are

also honoured to have appointees to the society’s Aboriginal Advisor Committee from both these communities,” she said.

“Despite historical and current challenges, we are celebrating the progress made locally to date and our plans to continue to move forward in the future. The goal is to achieve together an inclusive circle of care that keeps children safe and families supported.”

The statement continued: “Another important step in the process is restoration of jurisdiction for provision of child welfare services. As of April this year, (one aboriginal community) has assumed responsibility for seven Lake Huron North Shore First Nations.”

Another unit, Dnaagdawenmag Binnoojiiyag Child and Family Services has been moving through a similar process for several years “When that designation is complete,” said the CAS, “all child welfare services for the Highland Shores area, with the exception of the Bay of

Quinte Mohawks, will be serviced by that agency in consultation with their aboriginal communities.” Perrigard explained that the Mohawk exclusion was a choice of the band itself.

To that end, the agency lends is support to a number of recommendations contained in the Truth and Reconcilia-

tion Commission report to the federal government.

Pwerrigard also referred to the recently-passed Child, Youth and Family Services Act in Ontario. One of its key goals is to “make services more inclusive and culturally appropriate for all children, youth and families.”

Entrepreneurs In Action – QUINTE WEST SWAP & SELL It’s a swap and sell where great customer service is always free Twenty years in business. That’s long hours.

That’s hard work. That’s perseverance. And while there are many facets, we know that one ingredient must be present to achieve longevity in business – fantastic relationship building skills.

Steve Raymond, owner of Quinte West Swap and Sell, possesses that ingredient.

He didn’t just open a business. He didn’t just run a business. He built a business - customer by customer, relationship by relationship.

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!

He sells entry level guitars to parents who don’t want to spend much prior to knowing if their child is committed. He will buy back the guitar if they decide to later upgrade to one from his more professional lines. He sells 15 movies for $20 – then buys them

back for a modest discount.

Steve keeps top-of-the-line bikes in the store and sells them for deeply discounted prices. He doesn’t like junk – he buys or swaps good items gently used and sells them for a fraction of the original cost.

Quinte West Swap & Sell guarantee their products are in working order and will return if there is any issue.

He started in the spring of 1998 and was in the same location in Trenton for 18 years. He approached the conventional banks to discuss financing to buy his own building and was referred to Trenval, the local Community Futures office, and after working with Amber Darling, Business and Investment Advisor, he met with their investment committee.

“They were great. They

were very interested in my business. It was not stressful at all – actually it was kind of cool”.

Steve bought his own building at 251 Dufferin Street where he also has Tangles Hair Salon. Both businesses are all about the customers.

Quinte West Swap & Sell keeps a huge inventory of tools for the tradesman and the weekend warrior.

RC Cars and paintball guns (they refill CO2), games and gaming systems and all the fun stuff. They sell beautiful diamond rings and gold next to a huge assortment of smartphones.

Need a computer?

While he keeps laptops in stock, he’ll refer you to his competitor with a larger selection because Steve has cultivated excellent relationships with

other area swap shops.

He has had the same clients since his doors opened two decades ago – that speaks volumes for his quality merchandise and one-onone customer service.

His son Greg has inherited his honesty and fair-trade traits. Greg and Steve share the business with the goal that one day Greg will take over – but Steve doesn’t imagine not always having a hand in it.

They always need inventory as they have customers who come in every day to shop for new items. CASH PAID. They accept debit, Mastercard, Visa and offer an ABM in the store.

The Board and Staff of Trenval congratulate Steve Raymond and are proud to have been a part of his success story!

The Good Earth Important Gardening Things, Not.

By Dan Clost When I was young and starry-eyed, un rêveur, “proper” gardening was defined by a rigid set of principles and practices. Arithmetic was very important. (I scrupulously avoid using the term “math” unless calculus or quantum mechanics are the exercise of the moment.)

So much so, that in one of my first columns I very carefully worked out how many seeds needed to be sown to ensure the requisite number of plants would be available.

So many percent added to account for germination rates, so many more to account for transplant losses, etc. etc. That is not something I do anymore. I suppose if I worked at one of the great seed companies this really would be important but...I don’t. If you open up seed packets of onions, or carrots or marigolds you can see that if one or two don’t germinate, you’ll never know. If you buy a packet of specialized

geraniums or petunias you would quickly discover they have only six or seven seeds.

Two things usually happen at this point- we will respond to your phone call and let you know that the number of seeds is noted on the front of the packet and, most importantly, you will pay close attention to the nurturing of those little golden nuggets.

Some gardeners will think this arithmetic exercise is still important but not me. What I have learned is that providing the seeds with the proper cultural environment is more important.

Another activity which involves ratios- still arithmeticis composting, i.e. C: N=30:1 Here is a short excerpt from Rodale’s online:” An ideal compost pile should start with a 30:1 C/N ratio.

Fresh grass clippings alone have about a 20:1 C/N ratio.

Building your pile with one part grass clippings or other green matter to two parts dead leaves or other brown matter will give you the right mix.” Gentle Reader, they’re absolutely right. In fact when I set up my composting area I constructed a huge holding bin for all the “browns” so they would be to hand whenever I trimmed the greensward or we emptied the household compost pot. I even had an extensive list of the C: N ratios of just about every plant that might grow in the province.

So, part of the challenge with this is that I don’t rake up grass clippings. Another factor is that I don’t have as much time as I did back then.

Actually, I suppose I do; however, it’s just that it takes

me a titch longer to accomplish things these days.

What is important to know is that all organic matter breaks down over time and, if you create an environment acceptable to all the little critters, fungi, bacteria, you just need patience. Mind you, I have a broken garden fork handle which I use to poke aeration holes if the bin gets a bit wet: I pour in a bucket of water if it gets to dry.

When I was designing our first garden beds I spent hours incorporating the Big Ten (variety, emphasis, repetition, balance, sequence, scale, line, form, texture, and colour) into every square inch. My designs were exquisitely intricate, so much so that very few observers were able to discern their complexity.

The challenge that has arisen after three plus decades of gardening is that we continue to plants and they have to go somewhere. The reality is that the plants get tucked into a spot appropriate to their needs.

There is one small consideration that I use to create a semblance of unity: triangles.

As long as the triangle is visible (either explicitly or discerned by the subconscious), gardens almost always flow.

The triangle can be in one bed spread out across several beds. Triangles can be made up of plants with similar foliage, flowers of similar colour (think triadic or analogous combinations on the colour wheel) or even inorganic objects such as stones.

What is important about our gardens is that we like them.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

My Canada Dear editor, I love my country. I was born here and will be buried here in the rich Canadian soil.

God blessed my parents with eight babies who are now, along with their children, proud citizens of this great land.

Sure, we have our problems, like any other nation, but we are a kind, caring and peace-loving

people who try to do right by all, on and off our shores.

Our Lord must have fashioned Canada after His heaven. Every province and territory has its own beauty. The majestic diversity of our homeland is unparalleled. Few countries in our world enjoy the mountains, oceans, prairies, frozen tundra, beaches, national

parks, historical cities and amusement parks – to name a few.

We enjoy our precious freedom because Canadian citizens, just like us, fought and shed their blood for us. Freedom is not free!

Happy 150th Birthday, Canada, and may we always be worthy of you.

MP Mike Bossio welcomes release of study on suicide crisis

BY SUE DICKENS suedickens.wordsmith@gmail.com

Ottawa — Mike Bossio, MP for Hastings — Lennox and Addington welcomes the June 20 release of the Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs report “Breaking Point: the Suicide Crisis in Indigenous Communities.”

“I welcome the release of the committee’s report on the suicide crisis,” said Bossio. “For too long this crisis has been allowed to take brothers, sisters, parents, and children from their loved ones. It is time that we work together in partnership with Indigenous peoples to help end this crisis for good.”

Rates of suicide are disproportionately high among Canada’s Indigenous peoples, and the committee’s report focuses on finding solutions to this crisis.

The report contains 28 recommendations that address the health, social, economic, and cultural factors that affect the health and well-being of Indigenous peoples.

They recognize the complexity of mental health issues and reflect the view that there is no single solution that will address the rates of suicide in Indigenous communities. Rather, long term solutions will require a united effort across Indigenous organizations, governments and sectors working together to address

conditions that give rise to mental distress.

Bossio state that he is “Looking forward to further action from the federal government to fight this crisis, and to Canada’s continuing efforts to renew

its nation-to-nation relationship with Indigenous peoples.”

Underscoring the need for action, the report was passed unanimously by all parties represented on the committee.

County committee supports new minimum wage

BY JACK EVANS

If one were to collectively ask Hastings County administration what they thought of a new, $15 minimum wage, the answer would come with a thumbs up.

The most recent Ontario budget prompted a call for Hastings County’s director of human and housing services, Erin Rivers, to give a commentary to the county

oversight committee last week.

Rivers summed it up as essentially progressive, with strong prospects for an easement in costs for the county in the future.

Asked specifically about the increased minimum wage, she applauded the move, as well, saying it would help some of her department’s clients to be more self.

The wage request came from Quinte West Councillor Dave McCue, who suggested the hike

Survivors

might result in fewer employees being hired. (There was no mention that as a business cost, wages are written off by taxation.) Rivers remained confident that the move would still prove valuable.

She also commented on an over-budget drain from an inordinate number of indigent burials in recent months. A portion of that can be reclaimed from other sources, she added.

Coun. McCue also questioned

the welfare caseload statistics for “heads of family” aged 18 or under. Rivers explained that since people that age are independent, they automatically qualify as head of family at least for themselves.

Her detailed breakdown of welfare recipients also showed the largest single age category was 25 to 34. Also, the largest categories for education were from Grades 9 to 11 , at more than 1,200 each

Today, more people are surviving cancer than ever before.

CELEBRATION OF SAVINGS!

tobeattheodds;onewithgreatcourageandstrength;atrueinspiration Research funded by the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) is making progress. Today, more people are surviving cancer than ever before. Our investments in research over the decades have yielded many remarkable insights into how cancer develops and have greatly improved our ability to detect and treat the disease.

Today, more than 63 per cent of adults are surviving at least five years after being diagnosed with cancer. In the 1940s, the survival rate was 25 per cent.

The following are just a few examples of how CCS-funded research is working towards improving cancer survival: • Dr. Guy Sauvageau from the Université de Montréal led a study of two forms of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and identified a pattern of gene activity shared by the two subsets. This could lead to an improvement in how AML is diagnosed and how treatments can be tailored, which can improve survival.

• Another study completed just over a year ago showed through a trial that, the addition of temozolomide to a shortened course of radiation

plus 528 post–secondary. Only 97 claimants were in the public school education level.

Rivers was also pleased to report that the county’s application for the new provincial homeless initiative has been approved in the amount of $38,000.

She also reported that capital repairs and improvements to county-owned affordable housing units are mostly coming in well under budget.

therapy, followed by monthly maintenance doses, reduced the risk of death of patients with glioblastoma by 33 per cent without compromising their quality of life. The trial was conducted for elderly patients with glioblastoma. This study was coordinated

by Dr. Chris O’Callaghan of Queens University and co-led by Dr. James Perry of Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and Dr. Normand Laperriere of Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.

• Advanced medical imaging was used by Dr. Jean-Pierre Bissonnette of the University Health Network, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, to see how tumours respond to radiation therapy. Dr. Bissonnette and his team identified small regions of tumours that are more active and resistant to treatment which may be able to endure higher doses of targeted radiation. A new radiation protocol has been implemented in Canada and the US, which may have a significant impact of improving lung cancer patients’ survival rates.

Hastings native awarded Meritorious Service Medal for work in Syria

BY JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com

Hastings — Mark Cameron now has three more letters following his name: MSM. The Hastings native was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal by Governor General David Johnston, on behalf of the Queen, for his “outstanding accomplishments that set an example for others to follow and bring benefit to our country.”

Cameron and two others, Dr. Jay Dahman and Dr. Khaled Almilaji, were recognized by the Governor General for their work with the Canadian International Medical Relief Organization (CIMRO) which they founded in 2013.

“It caught us quite by surprise, (receiving) the highest humanitarian award that the Queen gives out,” he said. “This is a very big deal,” and it left him “pretty humbled.”

Cameron earned his first set of letters, MB, when he was awarded the Medal of Bravery from the Governor General’s Office in 2014 for his role three years earlier in freeing a young girl whose foot had become trapped in a piece of farm machinery on a farm near Havelock.

He's currently the vice-president of the nonprofit humanitarian organization that teaches emergency field medicine in disaster zones globally, especial-

ly Syria which he has visited numerous times to provide aid since civil war erupted there in 2011. The conflict between the regime of president Bashar al-Assad and opposition factions has cost 400,000 Syrians their lives, and forced more than five million others to flee the country.

It's been “a really strange ride,” said Cameron, a paramedic educator at Sunnybrook Health Sciences in Toronto for the Advanced Life Support Educator Program.

It began when he and Dahman, his colleague and friend of many years, saw these “horrific images on TV” of the violence taking place in Syria, “and it looked like things were about to spiral out control,” Cameron said.

Their immediate thought was to “go over there and do something, help the wounded,” he said. “Within two days we were on the ground inside Syria.”

Numerous trips followed as the two along with Almilaji volunteered their services to various organizations but “things got to be cumbersome working for other charities,” so the three men decided to strike out on their own, and formed CIMRO. “We found a niche over there for training these doctors in ... what we now call combat medicine in an austere environment,” Cameron said.

The organization collaborates with other teams working in Syria and employs hundreds of people. The United

Nations and the World Health Organization are among its clients, and while CIMRO's main function is to educate, “we do a little bit of everything,” Cameron said, from providing winter clothing to running immunization programs to “searching for chemical weapons violations,” which CIMRO did, in proving that sarin and cyanide had been used to kill civilians.

CIMRO's reputation has grown such that it gets requests from other countries to train medical personnel.

“We now have the experience that nobody else has,” Cameron said.

It was acquired at some risk.

“I don't want to make it sound like we're putting ourselves in the middle of danger all the time because a lot of the trips we've been super safe, as secure as I would be here (in Hastings),” he said, but “the country's generally very dangerous,” and there have been times when his life was put in peril.

As happened when a small band of ISIS members showed up at the hospital where he was working and demanded the Syrians “to give us up to them,” which they refused.

“Honest to God, I was scared to death,” Cameron said.

On another occasion he and Dahman were caught late at night in the crossfire between two feuding groups. Paramedic educator Mark Cameron now has five letters behind his Their van was “riddled with bullets” name: MB for Medal of Bravery, and MSM for Meritorious Service Medal. but they managed to crawl to safety in a nearby shop. Its owner approached He recently obtained a Masters level certificate for completing a Global

Mental Health: Trauma and Recovery program at Harvard University.

both groups and “settled things down.”

Cameron admits to feeling despair at times but his motto is “Do your best for one patient at a time.”

It's a commitment that has cost him dearly, being “a large factor” in

Friends of Ferris guided Canoe routes new county target walks celebrate Canada 150

BY JACK EVANS

BY SUE DICKENS suedickens.wordsmith@gmail.com

Campbellford — Celebrating Canada 150 the Friends of Ferris (FoF) organization has some big shoes to fill as they set two major goals as part of the guided walks program at the park.

Walkers, led by FoF volunteer Carol Robertson, who has been conducting the tour for years, are working hard to accumulate the collective kilometres equivalent to the distance from Campbellford to the Parliament buildings in Ottawa (225 kms).

The group began on May 2 and by July 1 they hope to have that distance completed.

Setting themselves another marker the walkers will total their collective kilometres to reach the equivalent distance from Canada’s east coast to the west coast (7,471 kms). They hope to meet that goal by Dec. 12.

To do this walkers have been meeting every Tuesday at Ferris Provincial Park, rain or shine, at the east end of the Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge at 9 a.m. when they walk for about one hour.

In each case, the distance walked on Tuesday is being multiplied by the number of people in attendance (for example, 3.5 kms. X 10 people = 35.0 kms).

“Our progress will be displayed in chart form and on a map of Canada located on the kiosk at the suspension bridge,” Robertson told the Trent Hills News.

In addition, walkers attending enter their names for the chance to win a draw prize each week. Prizes have been provided by ParticipACTION. “So please join us, learn more about Ferris Provincial Park and at the same time, celebrate Canada,” said Robertson.

In its quest to expand tourism, Hastings County is now looking at routes for canoe and kayak enthusiasts.

County officials concluded there are many scenic rivers, streams and lakes in the county that are under-explored and suitable for small craft.

This came to light when Reeve Carl Tinney, at a meeting of the Finance Committee of the Whole, questioned an expenditure to a company called “Floating Point.”

At a cost of $1,446, he wondered whether county staff were taking a canoe trip or something similar.

Mayor JoAnne Albert explained it as part of a new tourism initiative to identify potential canoe and kayak routes in many of the county’s more remote areas. The company is a consulting firm to find and map such areas, she said.

There is also an initiative to have writers do stories on some of the county’s lesserknown treasures, Economic Development Chief Andrew Redden added.

Much of the brief saw Albert reporting on Association of Municipalities of Ontario activities and their impact on county communities.

Like all other county committees, finance will skip a July meeting.

Campbellford community radio station turns 25 on Canada Day

BY JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com

Campbellford — Saturday July 1, will be doubly significant for Dave Lockwood. It's the 150th anniversary of Canada becoming a nation, and it's the 25th anniversary of the day his not-for-profit community radio station went on the air.

The Canada Day celebrations will take place at Old Mill Park, the same spot Lockwood chose as the venue for CKOL's very first show in 1992.

“When we signed on from the waterfront at 11 o'clock you could almost feel the people saying, 'They'll never make it,'” Lockwood said.

But CKOL has, through the perseverance of its founder and general manager, and the support shown it by steadfast sponsors, faithful listeners and a dedicated group of volunteers who are its on-air personalities.

Having his own radio station had been a dream of Lockwood's since he was a young man but once he set about making it come true, it turned into “a nightmare” because he “didn't know how much work was going to be involved in it,” he said with a laugh.

He was rejected four times by the Canadian Radio-television

Dave Lockwood ran his own electronics business in Toronto for 35 years before moving to Campbellford and launching a not-for-profit community radio station, CKOL. john Campbell/Metroland

“Well over a hundred volun- co-operative program.

It was largely a one-man opera- teers” have come and gone over “Some of them went on to broadcasting.”

Carey Marsden, from Alderville First Nation, “took her training here” and later became a reporter at Global TV, Lockwood said.

“What I feel good about is the

mentoring, to take people with very little self-confidence,” and raise it to a level “where they can get on stage and grab a microphone and talk to people,” he said.

Lockwood, who's 80, said seniors are “a very, very important part” of CKOL's audience as they constitute “probably 60 per cent of the people in our listening area.”

There are about 30,000 listeners within reach of the station's signal, which, with the help of a secondary transmitter in Madoc, can be heard as far away as Norwood, Tweed, Belleville and Brighton.

The station plays a broad mix of music and reports on local news and events, sometimes live on location.

The station gets involved in the community; it's raised more than $60,000 for Campbellford Memorial Hospital over the past two years.

CKOL's mission is to support Canadian content, promote local and regional artists, promote community events, support local businesses, and promote Trent Hills and area.

With a budget of $50,000 that requires fundraisers to provide much-needed revenue, the station is “sustaining” itself, but “it's touch and go,” Lockwood said.

“I feel guilty not being able to pay everybody what they're worth but they're coming in here and they're having fun playing their stuff, meeting a lot of people,” he said.

Their reward is “the fellowship” they find.

Trent Hills artists become 'panellists' to celebrate Canada's sesquicentennial

BY JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com

Campbellford — Gayle Fox came up with her idea for celebrating Canada's 150th anniversary in a big way while recovering from total hip replacement surgery.

She spent two months in respite care at Island Park Retirement Residence and where she was staying looked out on the “beautiful historic building” on Trent Drive that once was home to a tannery.

Many of its windows on the west side are covered over with plywood and they look ugly, Fox said.

One day it came to her how to improve their appearance: Place painted panels in the openings featuring the official flowers of Canada's 10 provinces and three territories.

She got the permission of the building's owner, Larry Healey, and then recruited 10 artist friends last summer to join her in the project: Susan Brown, Paula Buck, Lawrence Cotton, Jean Cotton, Agnes Lee (who was helped by her daughter, Valerie Tinney), Phyllis Léger, Beth Phillips, Barbara Pechkovsky, Lynn White and Violet White.

Each paid $100 for the five-foot

Gayle Fox, in the middle between the paintings, recruited her artist friends for a project she conceived that celebrates Canada's 10 provinces and three territories. Among those who helped out were, l-r, Beth Phillips, Agnes Lee, Violet White, Susan Brown and Phyllis Léger.

John Campbell/Metroland

panels that were made by her grand- tion. The acrylic paint was donated Paper. Donations were also received son's business, Travis Fox Construc- by Benjamin Moore Village Paint and from Island Park, Healey, Seymour

West Women's Institute, Bemersyde IODE, Charlie Davidson and Velma Doherty.

“I was very happy to participate and look forward to seeing them all on display,” said Phillips, who chose Saskatchewan and its western red lily because red is her favourite colour.

Léger chose New Brunswick because that's where she was born.

“It's probably the biggest painting I've ever done, of course, (and) probably for most of us,” she said. “It's been fun.”

She also helped Fox with painting Manitoba's prairie crocus.

“I got into it and got excited about it,” said Violet White, who painted the pitcher plant of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Brown, who painted Ontario's trillium, said she and her husband Brian nicknamed their friend “Gayle Force” because if she hadn't been “the force pulling it together and pushing us I don't think it would have come together as well as it did.”

Fox said she's “anxious for Canada Day to come” because she's “thrilled” the panels will be on display this Saturday at Old Mill Park (the following weekend they will be shown at the Incredible Edibles Festival).
