Incredible Edibles Festival celebrates Trent Hills' rural roots

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford — For this year's Incredible Edibles Food Festival, organizers decided to join the rest of Canada in celebrating the 150th anniversary of Confederation by honouring local farm families.

They did so by producing a book, Celebrating Our Rural Roots — 150 Years of Family, Farming, and Food in Trent Hills.

The four families featured in the book — Grills, Little, Curle and Petherick — have roots in the community that run deep.

“There's a real interest in looking back at the history and where we've come from because we've got new people in the area and they want to know about the history,” said Joan Sheppard, one of the book's contributors and a member of the committee that organized the July 8 event.

Born and raised in Trent Hills she left when she was 16, not to return for more than 40 years when she and her husband made a former school on the English Line their home.

“I live in the school and watch TV where I used to sit in class,” she said.

It was the same school her mother and her grandfather attended before her.

Working on the book enabled her to see the community with “fresh eyes,” she said.

“I was new here 10 years ago,” said another person involved in the project, Sandy Chapman, who wanted to

know more about the community's past.

“We wrote our book to be a short anecdotal history that would be interesting to read,” she said. “It's a labour of love.”

The committee in charge of the project asked for submissions “from anyone who had wonderful stories to share, and we were lucky enough to have four families come forward and share their histories with us.”

The book, just 61 pages long, is divided into six chapters filled with photos, and “all sorts of interesting facts, and some recipes and funny stories,” Chapman said.

The subjects covered include farm life, churches, schools, cheese factories, Hoards Station sale barn, fair, sports, dances, Aron Theatre, and food.

“This is our first edition and we hope to do another one next year,” Chapman said. “We're hoping more people will come forward with stories.”

A hundred copies were printed, and if all sell, more will be printed.

The cost is $10.

Their wares included crickets, bison burgers, pressed sunflower oil, rabbit, water buffalo mozzarella cheese, goat butter and kale chips.

Norwood — They walked and they walked and then walked some more. Well over 20 walkers took part in the Norwood IODE’s first ever Hike for Hospice and the results were impressive, with the local organization formally handing over a cheque for $4,615 to the hospice campaign.

Centre Hastings – New infrastructure projects for Centre Hastings and Deseronto were announced July 7 by Mike Bossio, MP Hastings-Lennox and Addington.

The federal government is providing $125,000 (including $75,000 from the gas tax fund) for Centre Hastings and $66,171 for Deseronto.

The provincial government is providing up to $25,000 for Centre Hastings and $33,085.75 for Deseronto.

The municipal shares will cover the remaining costs at $115,000 for Centre Hastings, and $33,085.25 for Deseronto.

The new projects have been approved under the federal government’s clean water and wastewater fund.

“It doesn’t get less glamourous than sewage infrastructure, but these are exactly the types of investments that we need to make to ensure our small rural communities have

the capacity they need to sustain themselves and grow,” said MP Bossio on behalf of the Honourable Amarjeet Sohi, minister of infrastructure and communities.

As a result of these investments residents of Centre Hastings will benefit from a project that will remove the built-up sludge at the Madoc Wastewater Lagoon to restore the design volume of 1008 m3/day.

“On behalf of the Municipality of Centre Hastings I would like to thank the federal and provincial governments for providing this grant. Water and sewer infrastructure is costly and this will assist the municipality with maintaining this important service,” said Mayor of Centre Hastings Tom Deline.

In Deseronto, the funding will go to the sewage pumping station’s electrical upgrades and manual transfer switch installations.

These types of projects are essential to keeping our waterways clean and our communities healthy and livable.

MPAC responds to invite from Marmora and Lake council

BY SUE DICKENS

Marmora — “Changes to assessment board rules are significant,” said Catherine Barr, account manager, municipal stakeholder relations, of Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC).

That was just one of the important bits of information she provided to Marmora and Lake council recently, after they invited MPAC to send a representative to one of their meetings.

Providing an update on the assessment done in 2016 for the next four taxation years, Barr made a presentation on the municipal summary report that MPAC provides.

“We’re already working on the

next update, which will commence in 2020 for the 2021 to 2024 tax years,” she explained.

Knowing assessment board rules “is just another way to monitor your assessment at risk,” she told council.

Barr also referred to the twoway service level agreement which is currently part of a pilot program in 24 municipalities, big and small, across the province. She said it “has been very successful,” and is now being tweaked before a fall rollout.

“We’re trying to do this in key service areas. Once it is fully launched in the fall, municipalities will be able to access building permits, tax applications, supplemen-

tary and omitted notices, etc.,” she explained, but it needs to work both ways to be successful.

“A lot our deliverables are totally dependent on the information we receive from municipalities,” she explained. “We’re trying to integrate service levels so you can monitor and give us key information, so you can think about forecasting for even next year.”

Municipalities are provided with a range of services by MPAC, including the preparation of annual assessment rolls used by municipalities to calculate property taxes.

Hastings the Musical Hastings County history onstage in Tweed

James King, cast and composer and Rachel Clark, cast, composer and choreographer of Hastings the Musical held the opening night audience spell bound. The cast received a resounding standing ovation and many vowed to return for a second performance.

Bill Piton/Metroland

BY LYNN MARRIOTT

Tweed - Hastings the Musical, a celebration of Canada’s birthday, was an energetic production chock full of local talent, scenes and vignettes of famous – and not so famous - locals. The production by Tweed and Co. dazzled audiences from July 5-7.

On opening night, June 28 at the Tweed pavilion, the scene was fullthrottle energy, soulful harmonies, original opera and camp songs that all went straight to the heart of their theme of Hastings County history.

The cast of nine bombarded their handmade stage swirling to the wellconstructed songs. Throughout the evening, cast members played and exchanged a large collection of instruments.

The two-hour extravaganza drew a standing ovation, comments included “Fantastic!” “You can tell it is good - everyone is glued.” “Incredible local talent..” and more.

The play features characters and scenes such as Mackenzie Bowell, an early Belleville Intelligencer editor who became the fifth prime minister of Canada; the 1837 Rebellion, a St. Lawrence River pirate, potato famine refugees and a British prince who never came ashore in Madoc.

References to Tweed’s Merrill

Denison, 1955 dances in the pavilion, a 1960s all-woman council and the midnight train in Kaladar all met with applause.

“It started with the historical society box of books last year,” said Director Tim Porter. In April, Porter, Joel MacMeekin and Tricia Black met for a three-day writing retreat in Tweed.

Black, the main songwriter, highlighted Susanna Moodie, the 1852 author of Roughing it in the Bush “because she was extravagant. I wanted to present her in a Hello Dolly, Ethel Merman style,” said Porter.

“This is my first full-scale-musicwriting production. I am so happy,” said Black.

Tweed’s Mark LeSage played stand up bass and more, Rachelle Clark (Babor) choreographed the production and Mike Lee was drumming composer. Cast members included: Michael Colin Jones, James King, Amy Marie Wallace, Becca Guilderson of Halifax, Emily Hewett stage manager, Andrew Morin and Trevor Patt, composers, created the successful production.

“The actors arrived only 10 days before opening night,” said Porter.

“Everyone has done 10 jobs for this show.”

Couple wins Asphodel-Norwood’s highest civic honour

BY BILL FREEMAN

Norwood – John and Colleen Terpstra have received Asphodel-Norwood’s highest civic award.

The retired farm couple were presented with the Jack and Marguerite Community Recognition Award during a Canada 150 celebration that filled the A-N Community Centre.

The award was introduced in 2000 as part of millennium celebrations and honours significant contributions to the community which have a “positive effect” on their fellow citizens; it also recognizes groups or individuals who have brought honour to Asphodel-Norwood.

Rock and roll mega stars Three Days Grace are among the past winners.

The Terpstras have been leading lights in Peterborough County’s Holstein Club as president and secretary and actively involved in the local and regional agricultural scene for over 40 years.

They are past recipients of the County’s farm family of the year.

Their community involvement includes the Norwood Fair, Community Care, minor sports, figure skating, church endeavours and the Peterborough County Agricultural Wall of Honour

committee. They’re past recipients of the County’s farm family of the year.

“I’m proud to stand in front of the (Terpstras) today,” township Mayor Terry Low said.

“Each and every one here represents this municipality in some way through your volunteering,” Low said. “We are all here for the same reason to see our community prosper while moving ahead.”

John Stewart made the presentation on behalf of his mother and father.

The Terpstras were modest in accepting the award.

“We all know this community is filled with worthy volunteers,” Colleen said.

She noted that her son Michael was born on Sir. John A. Macdonald’s birthday during Canada’s centennial year.

“We were overjoyed, blessed and proud and those things hold true for today,” she said.

“We are overjoyed to have this opportunity to serve; blessed that we’ve had the health, interest and encouragement to do the work and John Stewart presents the Jack and Marguerite Community Recognition Award to John proud to be part of Asphodel-Norwood. This and Colleen Terpstra during Asphodel-Norwood’s Canada 150 celebrations. is home.”

Augeri (Journey), Lou Gramm (Foreigner) and John Payne (Asia) — wrapping up the party late Saturday night.

Sizzling weather, sizzling grooves, chilled beverages — that’s what summer’s all about, and the party officially kicked off in Havelock.

OPINION

North Korea’s intercontinental ballistic missles “American bastards would be not very happy with this gift sent on the July 4 anniversary,” said North Korean leader Kim Jongun about his country’s first successful test of an interconballistic Gwynne Dyer tinental missile (ICBM) on Wednesday. And indeed Americans are not happy about it, although it would be overstating the case to say that panic is sweeping the United States at the news that North Korea’s ICBMs can now reach America.

One reason for the lack of public panic is that Alaska is not a central concern for most Americans, and Alaska is the only part of the United States that North Korea’s Hwasong-14 missile can actually reach.

Another reason is that the US authorities insist that North Korea’s nuclear weapons are too big and heavy to fit on its ICBMs. (It’s not clear whether they have actual intelligence that confirms this, or are just whistling in the dark.)

And a third reason might be that Americans are secretly embarrassed by the sheer hypocrisy of their own government’s position in this affair.

Well, no, not really. The vast majority of Americans are blissfully unaware that there is any hypocrisy involved in demanding that North Korea refrain from getting what the United States has had for the past 72 years. So is the US government.

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was being entirely sincere when he said that North Korea’s ICBM test “represents a new escalation of the threat to the United States, our allies and partners, the region, and the world.” Wrong, but entirely sincere.

He is obviously aware that the United States has had nuclear weapons since 1945, and has even dropped them on Asian cities. He knows that his country has had ICBMs since the 1950s, and still has hundreds ready to launch on short notice.

How is the American posture different from the one that North Korea aspires to?

Two differences, really. One is that the United States has at least a hundred times as many nuclear weapons as North Korea, and delivery vehicles at least two technological generations further down the road.

News.

CENTRAL HASTINGS TRENT HILLS

®

Another is that the United States has a clearly stated policy that says it might use nuclear weapons first in a conflict. Weirdly, this just makes American ICBMs sound more dangerous than North Korea’s.

That’s not really true. The United States used its first nuclear weapons as soon as it got them in 1945, but despite all the wars it has waged in the 72 years since then it has never used them again. Nuclear weapons are so terrifying that they actually force the people who possess them to think seriously about the consequences of using them.

North Korea will probably have ICBMs that can reach big American cities in three to five years if it keeps up the current pace of development and testing. That would buy North Korea a limited degree of safety from an American nuclear attack, because one or more of its missiles might survive a US first strike and be able to carry out a “revenge from the grave.” That is how nuclear deterrence works, at least in theory.

But even full-range nuclear-tipped ICBMs would not give the North Korean regime the ability to launch a nuclear attack on America (or Japan, or South Korea) without being exterminated in an immediate, massive nuclear counter-strike.

So you can probably trust the North Korean regime not to do anything so terminally stupid – unless people like Kim Jung-un are literally crazy.

That’s why American diplomats work so hard to convince everybody else that the North Koreans really are frothing mad, impervious to logic, and not even interested in self-preservation. Only then can they argue that the North Koreans should be denied nuclear weapons, although Americans, Russians, Chinese, British, French, Israelis, Indians and Pakistanis can be trusted with them.

There is no evidence that the North Koreans really are crazy. In the 64 years since the end of the Korean War they have never risked a war, and they are extremely unlikely to do so now. And while there is a rather erratic leader in Washington at the moment, there are probably enough grown-ups around him to avoid any fatal mistakes on the American side either.

So North Korea will probably get its nuclear deterrent in the end, and we will all learn to live with it – like we learned to live with mutual US-Russian nuclear deterrence, mutual US-Chinese nuclear deterrence, and mutual Indian-Pakistani nuclear deterrence.

When our young go off into the world Comment by Chris Malette There could have been no more devastating year for the parents, family and friends of three lost Belleville teens than 1996.

In that year, the city reeled from the news that three teens in the span of several months were murdered – one in Daytona Beach, Florida; one in Bermuda and a third in Toronto.

So it is, then, that those families must be suffering the memories that sure came rushing back when the headlines hit this past week that mostly all began “Belleville teen dies in…”

The loss of St. Theresa student Alex Sagriff, a sparkler of a young woman as described in social media memories, photographs of her playing basketball at St. T’s and reminiscences of family, is no less devastating to those friends and families than the fate of the `96 teens.

In March, 1996, Mark Fyke, then a 19-year-old Nicholson Catholic College student, was vacationing in Daytona Beach with several friends from Belleville.

He went to a pay phone near his hotel to call his mom, Chris, when Donald Shoup, then 18, walked up to Fyke and demanded Fyke’s wallet shortly before shooting him dead. Mark’s mom, mercifully, did not hear the shot that killed her son. His legacy is the Random Acts of Kindness Week we all celebrate annually in Belleville on the anniversary of his death.

Rebecca Middleton would have been 38 this year.

But, in July, 1996, the bubbly, trusting young woman was raped, stabbed repeatedly and left to die on the purported island paradise that is Bermuda.

The case of her death was horrific not only for the details at which she met her fate, but for the prolonged, agonizing trial by tears her parents had to endure in the years after her murder.

“She’s still part of the family; it’s just that she’s not with us,” Dave Middleton says of his late daughter in a 2016 interview with The Toronto Star. “It wasn’t her fault that she got killed.”

Becky’s mom, Cindy Bennett says she still misses her daughter. She wonders what her girl might have been like now had she, like her two older brothers, been able to grow up, get married and have kids of her own.

The teen had been out for an evening of fun in Bermuda and was preparing to return back to town by hailing a cab. When a taxi failed to show, Middleton and her best friend Jasmine Meens, now Jasmine Bumstead, accepted rides on a motorcycle

and moped with two locals.

Meens, whose father Rick lived in Bermuda, but who hailed from Belleville, made it home. Middleton, on an extended vacation with Jasmine, did not.

The two men charged in the killing were Kirk Mundy, then 21, and Justis Smith, then 19. At the time, Mundy was on bail for the armed robbery of a bank vehicle in November 1995.

Mundy pointed the finger at Smith. In exchange for his testimony, Mundy pleaded guilty to being an accessory, while Smith faced a charge of murder.

DNA evidence would later show Mundy had raped young Becky.

The lead prosecutor on the case left the island a week before Smith’s trial, leaving it to a newcomer to take up the case. After days of evidence, the judge directed the jury to acquit Smith, saying there was not enough evidence against him.

Bermuda authorities would later concede the family had suffered a “great injustice,” but nothing changed.

A third Belleville teen sadly died with far less attention that year, as his death was overshadowed by the high-profile murders of the other young people.

However, it was no less tragic. The young teen boy was in Toronto living a trans or gay lifestyle few talked about in 1996 and the circumstances of his murder on Toronto streets was not widely reported.

No less a tragedy, though far less attention paid at the time.

Alex Sagriff was with friends on a vacation last week to Varadero, Cuba, with a guided student tour group, S-Tours.

It was not a sanctioned trip by either her school or the school board and family this week – the sprawling, gregarious, athletic and loving Sagriff family – were grieving, looking for answers and bringing their young Alex home from foreign shores.

There is no good death of a young person under any circumstances. Too, there are few more difficult things for a parent than to watch as our young people go out and make their way, their fun, in the world, hoping and praying as we do to return safely to us.w In some cases, tragically, they do not and it is then that a community rallies around giving silent, but heartfelt support, knowing it could have been any of us with children of our own.

To the Sagriff family, peace.

The house on top of the hill — how Stirling offers Good Baby Box program one couple's dream home got built

BY TERRY MCNAMEE

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Trent Hills — Farming life was full of daily struggles to make ends meet for Gayle Fox and her late husband Murray after they married in 1958, and each year saw an increase in their workload.

Being able “to make a good living was always an issue” but they realized that if they tried hard they could achieve “another big dream to ensure (their) future happiness” — a “mansion on the hilltop.”

How it came to pass is the subject of a reminiscence Fox wrote that was included in a book produced by the Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario celebrating Canada's 150th birthday, Ordinary to Extraordinary: 150 stories as unique as the women who lived them.

“The stories range from a single incident to a full life story; from ordinary life to tragic events; from the horrific to the humorous,” the FWIO says.

Fox's account of building a "House on the Top of the Hill" was one of 350 submitted by members. In two pages she describes the challenges the young couple faced to complete their dream home on the Fifth Concession.

She learned how to mix cement, and she and her husband “poured the footings a little bit each day in between the morning and evening chores.” It took them two weeks.

Fox caught the measles and got so sick she “went into a coma and was taken to Peterborough Hospital with 'brain fever' or encephalitis.”

She was in isolation for a week before she was able to come home.

When the couple moved in, the bathroom was the only place in the house “that was finished with a door” and the “kitchen counter was planks with linoleum for the top and curtains for the front of the cupboards to hide the dishes.”

Fox, who's now 78, still lives in her dream home on top of the hill, 49 years after it was built.

It's had five additions since then, including a sun porch and sun room where she “can enjoy the beautiful panoramic views” of farm fields, woods and, in the distance, the Trent River.

Gayle Fox's account of how her “dream home” got built south of Campbellford was included in a book produced by the FWIO to celebrate Canada's 150th anniversary.

Her house sits on land that's been in the Fox family since 1873.

John CampbellMetroland

Her institute, Seymour West, was “so proud” of Fox's contribution that it covered the cost of her attending the book's launch in Pembroke in June, she said in an interview.

Having her story chosen was special for Fox. “It was a thrill for me,” she said. “I never even got my Grade 7. I learned to do by doing.”

Their first winter on the hill she and her husband heated the house with a Wingham Clipper cook stove, “as old-fashioned as the pioneers but it was wonderful and it was great for making soups and stews, and always had a kettle on ... for tea if company came to call.”

Stirling—Moms in StirlingRawdon now have local access to a program that can save them hundreds of dollars on diapers, baby food and other supplies for children from newborn to two years old.

The Good Baby Box program is a creation of the Community Development Council of Quinte, and covers Hastings and Prince Edward counties.

Beginning this month, the Stirling Public Library is a local depot for ordering and distributing the boxes.

Program coordinator Bev Heuving held an information session at the library on Tuesday, June 27, to tell moms and moms-to-be about how the program works.

“You actually register the child, not the parent,” Heuving explained. She said there are currently 1,500 children registered for the program in Hastings-Prince Edward.

“This is the only program of its kind in Ontario,” she said.

Registration is free, and takes place any time during library hours. The only cost is for the boxes themselves. Parents with more than one baby or toddler can purchase extra boxes.

“You’re not restricted on how many boxes you want to order,” Heuving said.

Pregnant women can sign up their child in advance, which allows them to order one Infant Box to have on hand before the birth (two boxes if they are having twins).

Terry McNamee/Metroland

Orders for one box per week per child are made and paid for in advance. All the boxes are then picked up once a month at the local host site (in this case, the Stirling Library).

Infant Boxes for newborns cost $6 each and includes a package of 20 diapers plus the parent’s choice of one specialty care item such as wipes, shampoo, lotion, etc. The Good Baby Box program also sells packages of powdered infant formula for those who need it.

“At six months, you bump up to a Baby Box,” Heuving said. This includes 20 diapers plus six small or four large jars of baby food and a choice of a box of cereal, cookies or juice for $10.

When the child is a year old, the client switches to a Toddler Box, which costs $6.50 and includes 20 diapers plus a choice of one specialty item.

Boxes must be ordered and paid for at the library on or before the first Friday of the month during regular library hours. They are delivered to the library for pickup on the third Wednesday of the month, arriving anywhere between 3:30 and 7 p.m. If they prefer, people can pick up their boxes at 65 Station St. in Belleville.

Heuving said this program can save parents as much as $1,200 in the first year.

Torch Run ends the school year at Stirling Public School

BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling—The last day of school in Stirling on Thursday, June 29, was marked by a visit by the Ontario Law Enforcement Torch Run for the Ontario Special Olympics.

Students joined Special Olympics athletes John Tinney and Tim Maracle as they carried the “Flame of Hope” around the school’s running track, accompanied by Stirling-Rawdon Constables Darrin Heasman, Jarrett Rutledge and Darcy Masterson and Police Chief Dario Cecchin.

Heasman said the school has been supporting the Torch Run for the past 15 years, giving both support and exposure to 8 Central Hastings Trent Hills News - Thursday, July 13, 2017

During a visit to the Stirling Public Library on Tuesday, June 27, Good Baby Box program coordinator Bev Heuving (left) showed Gennie Shelden of Stirling, whose baby is due this summer, and future grandma Kelly Shelden some of the items that can be ordered through the program, which is run by the Community Development Council (CDC) of Quinte.

athletes with intellectual disabilities.

“You’ve helped them lead productive and more independent lives,” Heasman told students during an assembly prior to the run.

Special Olympics Eastern Ontario district developer Stacey McKeown told the students how research in Ontario by Dr. Frank Hayden many years ago proved that, contrary to the views of the day, people with intellectual disabilities could become fit and active. Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the sister of American President John Kennedy, agreed, and the two of them worked together to create the Spe-

cial Olympics to give intellectually disabled people a chance to excel.

McKeown said the games now include about 20 different sports, and are held around the world.

“We have 22,000 Special Olympics athletes in Ontario alone,” she said.

“We just had athletes come back from Vienna, Austria, where they competed in the 2017 Winter Games.”

The 2017 Special Olympics Ontario Provincial Summer Games will be hosted by the Peel Regional Police from July 13-16.

This marks the 30th anniversary of the Special Olympics.

Chrome on the Canal took on a vintage look this year

BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford — The word “vintage” best de scribes the 9th annual Chrome on the Canal event which was held Saturday, July 8 along the banks of the Trent.

What began as Charlie’s Indian Day, started

by Charlie Mahoney, about 25 years ago, has remained a tradition in the town.

John McEvoy, his wife Heather and family have been organizing the event for the past nine years and plans are already in gear for the big celebration in 2018, their 10th anniversary.

What was most noticeable this year was the increase in the number of vintage motorcycles that riders rode in on and the generous number of vintage vehicles which gave the daylong show a real “retro” perspective.

Fitting right in were the new vintage looka-like gas pumps that were being marketed as gun cabinets and display cabinets for a price of $1800.

Ron Dion of Kustom Petro Cabinets of Grafton brought the pumps “basically because there are a lot of bikers here.” Admitting that he doesn’t usually sell any during the show, people often look him up later to buy. “If somebody is doing a man cave then this is what they are looking for,” he said.

Hundreds of “vintage” baby boomers made up a big portion of those lined up with their rides as families with the next generation checked out the chrome and colour.

One of the bikers, Ian Taylor of Tweed, brought his 1931 and 1953 Ariels, two vintage motorcycles built in Birmingham, England. He liked seeing the other motorcycles and talked about the “camaraderie” of the “older diehard” bikers.

Participants and spectators numbering more than 1,000 come from as far away as the USA,

CBC hit series ‘Still Standing’ Norwood episode airs Aug. 22

BY BILL FREEMAN

Norwood — The much-anticipated Norwood episode of CBC’s TV series Still Standing will air Aug. 22.

The hit series starring award-winning standup comic and actor Jonny Harris makes its seasonthree debut June 27 with an episode filmed in fireravaged Fort McMurray.

A 14-member crew from Frantic Films spent a week filming in and around Asphodel-Norwood last summer, with Pouch Cove, N.L. native Harris capping off his visit with a hilarious standup show at the Norwood Town Hall.

Snippets from the rousing comedy show are interwoven with Harris’ visits to notable township landmarks like the Indian River Reptile Zoo, the Eastern Ontario Fire Training Academy, Entomo Farms, and Wavelengths Yoga Studio.

Harris, who also plays Const. George Crabtree in the popular Murdoch Mysteries series, says he feels privileged to tell the stories of people who live, thrive, and sometimes struggle in small communities across a vast nation.

“You’re representing small towns to the rest of the country; a small town that means the world to a lot of people. It’s a privilege and there’s some sort of responsibility there. And it’s fun. We’ve really covered a lot of ground and would love to

Norwood well projects get funding boost

BY BILL FREEMAN

Norwood — Two Norwood well projects have received $140,489 from the provincial and federal governments. The $210,000 rehabilitation of the village’s 68-year-old Well No. 1 and drilling for a new fourth well will get $93,659 from Ottawa and $46,830 from Queen’s Park, with Norwood water system users contributing $69,511.

The establishment of a fourth well will put the village in a position to further expand its water and wastewater capacity as it deals with a development renaissance, with two major subdivision projects on the go and the potential for more on the horizon.

“We have (developers) at the door,” said Mayor Terry Low. Phase one of Norwood Park Estates, just north of Highway 7, is built and sold-out with phase two “right behind it”, Low said at a brief ceremony that included Northumberland-Peterborough South MP Kim Rudd and Peterborough MPP Jeff Leal.

“Anything that’s going to happen in the future, we’ll definitely be ready for it. We have people knocking on the door now,” said Low. “We’re getting a high profile.”

“The first question developers ask is what is your water capacity,

what is your sewer capacity, before they’ll put dollars and energy into a possible development,” said CAOClerk-Treasurer Candice White.

“We do have capacity for the developments that are on the table right now, phase one and two of Norwood Park and Millpond Estates on Birch Street,” White said.

Whether there’s a phase three or development on Mill Street or elsewhere, the Norwood system will be ready, she said.

“We need to ensure that we’re

not turning away growth based on inadequate capacity.”

Test wells have already been drilled. The municipality is finalizing the scope of work needed to have the permanent fourth well drilled; they’ll do a pump capacity test once the well work is completed.

“Then, we’ll have a better idea of how much growth we can undertake,” said White.

Both projects should be “completely wrapped up” by winter.

PET OF THE WEEK! Ronnie

This beautiful fluffy girl is a little shy at first, but she’s quickly coming to love the company of humans. She might hide when things are noisy, but when she’s in someone’s arms, she begins to relax and purr. We think Ronnie is well on her way to becoming a lap cat!

do more stuff up north,” he said in an interview following his standup show last September.

“The thing that impresses me the most is volunteerism in small towns, people who give selflessly of themselves and towns wouldn’t exist without that. Every town has a band of people who worked on the town just like a generation did before them did. A lot of people said to me ‘the only reason we have this or that in our town is because a previous generation fought for it.’

They feel that responsibility; an onus not to give up on the place.”

The Aug. 22 episode starts at 8 p.m.

The flap about Rebecca Waddleduck resolved by Centre Hastings Council

BY SUE DICKENS

Madoc — Rebecca Waddleduck gets to live at her home for another day — in fact, for the remainder of her duck life — after getting a reprieve from Centre Hastings Council, who made the decision after reviewing a complaint from a neighbour who cried fowl about the bird’s quacking.

Rebecca Waddleduck is the pet of Birgit Brandt, who received a notice of a bylaw violation in which she had been asked to remove a duck and a chicken named Charlotta from her premises.

When neighbour Dave Martin complained to the municipality that the duck’s quacking was a problem, it set the stage for the municipal process to kick in and Bylaw Enforcement Officer Doug Keller had to follow through.

“I’ve been doing this for

37 years. I see both sides,” he commented.

“I didn’t want it to happen this way (as a notice of violation),” said Martin. “I never asked her (Birgit) to get rid of the duck. I only asked her to quiet it down. I never asked for her to be charged. With my name involved in everything, it makes it look like I’m the bad guy,” he told the Central Hastings News.

Staff and a councillor spoke to both parties following the complaint and then brought their findings back to council.

“The two people here yesterday, well, we were working out a solution about seeing if she (Birgit) would build a plywood fence or pen to dull the sound,” Martin commented.

“I didn’t anticipate this happening. I was born in this town and if I continue it would only get worse.”

Because the duck was not

70-year-old Marmora resident receives Senior of the Year Award

BY SUE DICKENS

Marmora — Marmora historian Andre Philpot, who has worn many hats including that of lawyer, councillor, and reeve, has received the Senior of the Year Award for 2017 from Mayor Terry Clements and Marmora and Lake council.

The presentation happened on June 27 at the new location of the Marmora Historical Foundation, which is now above the library in the historic Memorial Building.

“It was a complete surprise. I had forgotten I was even a senior,” said Philpot, laughing. He just turned 70.

Andre has been actively collecting pieces of Marmora's history for the past several decades to help preserve and showcase Marmora's vibrant past for visitors, residents, and future generations.

He also served the community, first as a municipal councillor in the 1970s and then as reeve from 1988 to 1999.

Mayor Clemens expressed his gratitude to

Andre for his many years of dedicated service to the community and said council was unanimous in its nomination decision.

“I’ve been interested in local history for years,” said Andre, who has lived in the village for the past 44 years.

The presentation was initially planned for Canada Day but Andre and his wife Anne had arranged to attend a family reunion in Kingston.

He and his wife are directors of the Marmora Historical Foundation.

“I’ve always been interested in the local community and the politics,” he commented. The couple lived on Toronto Island prior to their move to Marmora.

When asked how he felt about receiving the award, Andre replied: “Obviously, I am honoured they would think of me.”

He added with a chuckle: “I am sure there are lots of people who have done a lot more, including my wife. You know the old saying: 'There’s a good woman behind every good man.'”

on the property for the purposes of “agriculture” — i.e. it is a pet — it was given the OK to stay.

“I got shut down. She is going to keep the duck,” Martin told the newspaper.

“The only restriction is she can’t have any more.”

For Martin, he’s glad the whole flap is finished.

For Brandt, she too is glad the situation has been resolved and she gets to keep Rebecca Waddleduck, who is her “great gardening companion”.

“She has a big secure run in front of the barn and at night she goes in a little wooden house inside the barn that I lock up. Basically I am really grateful I am allowed to keep her. If the answer had been strictly no then I would have had to scramble to sell this house,” she concluded.

Sadly, her pet chicken named Charlotta died as the result of “egg binding” while all of this was happening.

“I’ve had a lot of feedback from my Facebook postings about my pets saying you should write a children’s book about them ... perhaps someone will want to Mayor Terry Clemens, left, presented Marmora resident Andre Philpot with the Senior of do that for me,” the Year award for 2017 at the new location of the Marmora Historical Foundation above Birgit concluded. the library in the Memorial Building.

Campbellford graduate ends a remarkable four years at high school

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford – It was a memorable evening for close to 100 students who graduated from Campbellford District High School June 29 but especially so for uber-student Rahul Patel.

The 17-year-old stood on stage for more than five minutes receiving 18 awards from a parade of presenters and then was called back later to accept the All Round Boy award given to the male graduate who has excelled in academics, athletics and the arts, and has made “outstanding contributions” to the school community.

“I'm really going to miss high school,” Patel said after the graduation ceremonies.

“I've learned so much from it, and I've definitely grown the most (while at) CDHS.” Patel plans to attend Queen's University and study science, with a view to pursuing a career in the field of medicine.

One of his awards was The Queen's University Chernoff Family Award, worth $48,000, which is awarded “to a student who has demonstrated superior academic achievement, proven leadership skills and creative original thinking” and is “from a rural or remote area of Canada who will be entering an undergraduate program” at Queen's.

“I was pretty amazed,” Patel said of his bounty, none of which he knew in advance he would be receiving. “I'm so thankful for everything that has happened.”

Patel's other awards, which ranged from $100 to $2,500,

Rahul Patel was beaming after receiving an extraordinary 18 awards at his graduation from Campbellford District High School June 29.

included the Lieutenant Governor's Community Volunteer Award for Students, and the Campbellford Kinsmen Award for best exemplifying a voluntary spirit within the school and community.

Principal Doug Birch praised him for having performed more than 1,600 community service hours, when the minimum required is 40.

“This is nearly equivalent to working one full year all as volunteer – and (he's) not even 18 years old,” he said in remarks read out by vice principal Christine Orton in Birch's absence. “Simply phenomenal.”

Patel said afterwards he chose to be a volunteer because he “kept having fun.”

“I love doing it,” he said.

Trish Wood, head of the school's guidance department,

told the News the final tally for Patel's hours as a student volunteer was 1,742.

“I've never seen anything like it,” she said. “He has done it in every possible aspect of our community you can think of,” whether it was helping with high school sports teams or the arts program, or being a member of student council, Youth Advisory Council, Social Justice League, and the environmental club.

He also helped out at festivals and fairs, and was the recipient of an Outstanding Youth Award from the Municipality of Trent Hills when he was in Grade 10.

“He just volunteers all the time,” Wood said. He's the Energizer bunny who “gives and gives and gives.”

Students show how much they care about the environment

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford — Young people do care about the world around them and every year a select group of students in the region receive special recognition for projects they propose to solve a local environmental issue.

Recently, a group of Grade 8 students from Hillcrest Public School helped one of their classmates, Paige Palmer, implement her proposal to build a rain garden at Campbellford Lions Community Park.

It was to address, in one spot, an issue that's common throughout the watershed — rainwater streaming off paved surfaces and making its way into the Trent River, carrying with it salt, sand, animal waste, engine oil “and perhaps field fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides,” Palmer said.

Her solution, which placed third in the annual Caring for Our Watersheds contest administered by Lower Trent Conservation, was to build a rain garden populated by native plants to collect water coming off Queen Street.

The plants, which included prairie smoke, swamp milkweed, blue flag, New Jersey tea and swamp rose, have a deep

root system “that will help filter the water as it drains off the road,” said Palmer's teacher, Sheila Potter.

They're hardy enough to tolerate road salt in the run-off but their beautiful flowers will also attract pollinators, “which is great,” she added, “because they're struggling” and need more habitat.

“We're just absolutely thrilled to have the youth investing in our community,” said Emily Bertrand, vice chair of the Campbellford Lions, which has undertaken its own project in the park to help pollinators, a bee and butterfly garden.

Corinne Harris, an education and outreach technician with Lower Trent, said Palmer did “an absolutely amazing job (bringing the) community together” for the project. Among those donating their time and resources were Palmer's father, Jason, whose landscape company provided tools and equipment, as did Nicholson Bros Concrete, Excavating and Landscape Supplies.

A total of $10,000 in funding was made available to implement the ideas put forward by the 108 students from grades 7, 8 and 9 in nine schools who

took part in the seventh annual Caring for Our Watersheds.

The schools with students whose projects placed in the top six received matching cash awards, plus an additional small sum, based on the students participating at each school.

Palmer received a $800 award for placing third and Hillcrest $900.

The top prize of $1,000 went to Radana Biaroza, a home-schooled student in Warkworth, for her proposal to develop a survey assessing people's awareness of environmental issues within the Lower Trent Conservation watershed.

St. Mary Catholic Catholic Elementary School students Caroline Clitherow and Gillian Forestell placed fifth with their proposal for movable bee bins.

The contest is a collaborative effort between Lower Trent and Agrium Inc. Agrium, a worldwide producer and distributor of fertilizers and agricultural products and service. Its initial commitment of funding ends this year, and Lower Trent has started a fundraising program to continue holding the competition as well as offer other youth environmental programs.

Student credited for reviving Campbellford environmental club

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford — As his days at Campbellford District High School wind down, Rahul Patel can look back upon his time there with a sense of accomplishment in music, sports, academics and myriad school activities.

The list includes his reviving the school's environmental club; it had been inactive for several years.

“It was him who revitalized the program,” said Janet Sheridan, the club's teacher representative. “He was a great proponent for the cause, looking at concerns around the environment.”

“I always had an interest in the environment and I wanted to share that with the school and get others involved,” Patel said.

When he noticed the school had “a recycling problem,” he initiated the return of the environmental club.

Twice a week after school its members collect and sort material that's recyclable, “making

sure it goes to the right place instead of just being thrown in the trash,” Sheridan said. It's been “a positive change.”

“We are dedicated!” Patel said in an email.

The “custodians love it because it lightens part of their workload,” Sheridan said. They “don't have the time or the manpower to do the recycling.”

“Our goal was to improve the recycling process and I believe

we have accomplished that,” Patel said.

The environmental club, which meets once a week to discuss what initiatives to tackle, has also taken part in Earth Day events, made presentations to elementary students to get them involved in recycling as well, and helped put the community garden “to bed for the winter,” Sheridan said.

Three Stirling volunteers recognized on Canada Day

Wild about Wildlife draws 350 to Tweed Memorial Park

BY LYNN MARRIOTT

Tweed – The Quinte Conservation team arrived with several different species of snakes, two live raptors, a falcon, a red-tailed hawk and tanks of Stoco Lake waterbugs, invertebrates, minnows and tadpoles for children to learn from and experience.

Throughout the early afternoon of July 6, children and families just kept arriving. Maya Navrot, Quinte Conservation Education and Stewardship Coordinator, said there was “350 people” at the Tweed event.

Wild about Wildlife Days are “packed with activities,” Navrot said. The children learn about their environment and how to protect with hands on meetings of both predators and prey. They met live falcons and learned how raptors – birds with a hooked beak, excellent eyesight, sharp talons, and strong legs and feet – differ from songbirds.

There were tanks where children

examined water bugs and creek critters.

The conservation team told the families about their local watershed, the invasive species that live in our area and Ontario reptiles that are at risk.

“We have three more events coming up in Madoc (Aug. 8), Wellington (Aug. 9) and Napanee (Aug 10).

It's a great opportunity for the public to come and have some fun in the outdoors while learning about their local environment and positive actions that can be taken to help protect and preserve it,” said Navrot.

Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Quinte Conservation serves 18 municipalities in the watersheds of the Moira, Napanee and Salmon rivers and Prince Edward County.

Its goal is to create a sustainable ecosystem where people and nature live in harmony.

Stirling – Three people were recognized as Volunteers of the Year as part of the municipality’s Canada 150 festivities on Saturday, July 1.

Kevin (Artey) Johnson, Jack Rushnell and Helen Cofell were presented with gifts and certificates by Mayor Rodney Cooney and Hastings-Lennox and Addington MP Mike Bossio. A fourth person will be honoured at the next meeting of council at 7 p.m. on Monday, July 17.

They were selected by council from nominations submitted by local residents and organizations.

“Artey Johnson has been “an outstanding community volunteer and a tireless volunteer for multiple projects and causes within Stirling-Rawdon,” said Cooney.

He said Johnson is a founding member of the Friends of Stirling Committee, now more than 20 years old, and has run numerous golf tournaments to aid local sports.

He also was a key figure in Stirling’s successful bid to win the Kraft Hockeyville contest, and most recently he ran an ATV poker run to raise money for the Stirling Legion.

Eighty-year-old Jack Rushnell has a long list of service to the community, including membership in the Masons, where he was a former Worshipful Master. He is the current president of the Hastings County Agricultural and Heritage Museum, is involved in the Antique Tractor Club, has been the announcer for the Hastings County Plowing Match and Farm Show for the past 10 years, has been the emcee for the annual World’s Largest Tractor Parade and has volunteered at Farmtown Park for more than 25 years. His other volunteer activities include helping with the Canadian Blood Donor Services clinics. He also was a former fire chief at the Sidney Township Fire Department and served on the Stone Church Cemetery Board.

“In many ways, Jack has exceeded the challenging requirements and expectations for this award,” Cooney said. “It’s amazing how the efforts of one person, one particular person, can truly make a difference in this world.”

The third honouree was Helen Cofell, who has been on the Board of Directors for the local food bank for 19 years. She has worked with the Stirling Christmas Sharing Program, works regular shifts at the Stirling Community Cupboard and has been secretary for the Stirling Festival of Sacred Praise for the past 16 years.

Campbellford resident wins big Self-guided garden tour a passport to paradise at Great Lakes Carriage Classic

BY SUE DICKENS

Jackie Shute and her pony Levi recently earned championship titles at the inaugural Great Lakes Carriage Classic.

Jim Shultz/Tri-County Carriage Association

Campbellford – A local resident here has returned home recently with a championship win after participating in the inaugural Great Lakes Carriage Classic.

Last weekend, Jackie Shute and her pony Levi conquered at the two-day competition hosted in Clinton, earning both the ‘Pony Champion’ and ‘High Point Champion’ titles.

The two-day event included ring classes and “exciting cones competitions,” where drivers showed their skills weaving through various sets of cones.

Both speed and accuracy were reportedly key to Shute’s win.

Shute’s been driving and teaching carriage driving for about 25 years now.

Her farm, Austringers Haven, is a carriage driving facility located in Trent Hills. On the 112-acre property, Shute offers lessons and social drives. The training facility also includes a dressage ring and a combined driving course, complete with obstacles.

Shute is hosting a social drive on Aug. 26 and 27. Interested participants can look forward to four kilometres worth of trails, the dressage ring, a water crossing and a cones course.

Health unit offers safety and cleanup tips for victims of flooding

BY SUE DICKENS

Northumberland County — Area residents affected by flooding due to recent heavy rains are being encouraged to put safety first.

The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit advises that flood water affecting people’s property may contain sewage and other contaminants.

Even though these contaminants in the flood water may have been diluted and present a low risk, it’s still important to take precautions during

cleanup and recovery efforts.

“Always wear protective clothing such as waterproof boots, apron, and gloves while cleaning up,” stated Richard Ovcharovich, manager of environmental health with HKPR. “It’s also important to wash your hands with soap and water after being in contact with flood water or items contaminated by the rising water.”

For more flood cleanup tips, call the Health Unit at 1-866-888-4577 and speak to a Public Health Inspector, or visit www.hkpr.on.ca.

Campbellford — The 14th annual Campbellford and District Garden Tour is a self-guided passport to paradise.

In fact, “Lake’s Bridge to Paradise” is one of the seven gardens in this year’s tour. Set on a corner lot at 93 Crowe Bay Heights Rd., it features different areas, from the restful pond with a pergola and seating to a smoke bush that has matured in the 15 years that owners Al and Jean Lake have lived there.

“I am the avid gardener; my husband is the one that does all the creating as far as the little ornaments and stuff like that,” Jean commented.

“It’s kind of like you build it and they will come,” said Al with a grin.

Being boaters/sailors most of their lives, the nautical theme is a focal point for much of their garden.

There’s a dinghy filled with flowers and a red and white display to celebrate Canada 150.

“I have sections; there is what I call my boot garden with all different types of boots, then I have my angel garden, and then the pond where the frogs and Koi live,” she said, naming a few.

“I find gardening very therapeutic. It’s a peace and tranquility for me to sit out there, it’s just you and the garden.”

Her husband made a sign for

the angel garden from an old Adirondack chair they had at their cottage. “I believe I have a guardian angel from a few incidences that I have had in my life,” explained Jean.

The couple is retired and looking forward to the garden tour so they can welcome visitors and give them a chance to enjoy the place they get to love year round.

To find out who the other six

are on the tour, a passport for $12 per person (children under 12 are free) will get you the list and descriptions.

Change a constant at Campbellford hospital, board chair Valerie Przybilla says

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford — There are two things you can be sure of, death and taxes, but Valerie Przybilla, chair of the board of directors at Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH), added another at the hospital's annual general meeting: change.

And while “change at times can be disconcerting ... it can also be an opportunity for us to grow and keep pace with all that is happening in the world around us,” she said.

The past year was a time of transition at CMH as it “continued to build on (its) existing strength as a recognized leader in rural health care.”

Przybilla highlighted the hospital's achievements over the past 12 months that helped it create “a sustainable, healthier community through service excellence, effective partnerships and innovative hospital services.”

They included balancing its $20 million budget for 2016-17 (finishing with a surplus of $269,000), “developing and executing a performance enhancement plan, and securing additional support” from the Central East Local Health Inte-

gration Network.

CMH continued to pursue “collaborations and integration opportunities” consistent with its “evolving model of care” — a local health hub — such as a shared internal medicine physician group and a shared health records manager with Northumberland Hills Hospital.

It also agreed to the integration of lab services for pathology, cytology and histology with Peterborough Regional Health Centre.

Generous support from the hospital foundation and the community enabled CMH to make “significant investments in state-of-the art technology for the hospital laboratory and surgical program to improve quality of care to our patients,” Przybilla said.

It also “developed an innovative hospitalist model to provide medical support to our hospital in-patients,” in collaboration with Northumberland Hills Hospital, she added.

Przybilla made no mention of another change that took place at CMH, Brad Hilker's sudden end of tenure as CEO and president, but she did introduce his interim suc-

cessor, Varouj Eskedjian.

“We have a lot to be proud of in terms of how we deliver care every day,” he said.

Eskedjian cited the volume of activity that takes place at CMH each year: more than 21,300 emergency visits, 1,000 in-patient days, 1,600 general surgeries, 2,100 CT outpatient visits and 5,200 outpatient clinic visits.

“We are a busy hospital, with dedicated staff,” he said.

Przybilla said after the meeting the hospital is “revamping” the first stage of its plans for redevelopment but “the end game” remains a new hospital.

It's “a refresh, really, of what we submitted,” she said.

“It's quite difficult to get through all the stages at the provincial level and LHIN. Sometimes you need to be a little innovative to get some attention, so we're hoping we can do that with our submission.”

Przybilla said the hospital will start a search for Hilker's permanent replacement “right away” but Valerie Przybilla, the chair of Campbellford Memorial Hospital's board cautioned that “sometimes it can be of directors, said change “can be disconcerting” but also an opportunity for the hospital to grow. a long process.”

Hospital foundation thanks donors for their continuing generous support

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford — An inspiring story about how “dedicated, passionate staff reacted quickly and properly to save the life of a local resident” was the highlight of the annual general meeting of Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation.

“It’s also a story about how donor support makes a difference here at CMH each and every day,” foundation chairman Calvin Newman told the gathering, saying the hospital couldn’t provide the services it does without the largess of its donors.

Arnie Watkins’ tale began in

January when he began experiencing severe pain heartburn and indigestion which prompted him to go to the hospital’s emergency department. Staff determined the Norwood carpenter was having “a serious heart episode,” according to an account of the incident in the foundation’s annual newsletter, and he was rushed to the Peterborough Regional Health Centre for surgery.

Watkins remembers the staff at Campbellford “being calm and efficient” and telling him he had done the right thing in coming to the hospital.

“He never thought he’d need

the hospital but when he did need the hospital it was there for him,” Newman said. “He doesn’t hesitate to tell everyone that Campbellford Memorial Hospital saved his life.”

Newman, foundation executive director John Russell and Catherine Holt, donor relations and communications, spent the remainder of the meeting offering words of praise for the many individuals, organizations and businesses who support the hospital through donations and fundraisers, which include a radioa-thon, doctors cookoff, jazz concert, art project and ATV fun run.

The array of events “shows the

Norwood Veterinary Services

community loves to support (its) hospital in creative ways and for this we are very appreciative,” Newman said. “We recognize that donors have many choices and we also understand the economic and financial pressures (they face). We are privileged to receive amazing support from our donors and volunteers.”

Holt reported on renovations to the donor wall which had taken “a bit longer” than had been hoped but “getting it right was important.”

She said the foundation was looking forward to the unveiling of the new donor recognition system and she noted that for the first time the hospital has an in memoriam wall

“to recognize gifts made in memory of a loved one, a bittersweet opportunity that means so much to family and friends.”

Russell gave examples of various pieces of equipment that had been purchased for most areas of the hospital with donations made the past year. They included an upper extremity surgical chair, a number of scopes, an autoclave equipment sterilizer, and a floor scrubber.

Work continues on advancing the CMH master plan and the possible construction of a new hospital.

The foundation’s board “has made a strong commitment to the project, and will work hand in hand with the hospital,” Russell said.

Hastings-Lennox and Addington MP announces summer jobs program

Hastings photographer turns lens on wildlife

BY BILL FREEMAN

Hastings — Bonnie Edwards is more likely to be taking photos of crunching bodychecks and game-winning goals than the quiet interaction between a mother loon and her babies.

But the retired accountant and longtime photographer has turned her long lens on local wildlife scenes and the delightful results are part of the latest exhibition hosted by the Hastings Branch Library.

“I thought I’d just hang them up and see if people like them or not,” Edwards said.

Edwards spends a lot of her winter photographing sports, especially hockey which is her favourite, so summer is a bit of a “down season” so she “just wanted to do something different” with the abundance of natural scenes around Hastings where moved to from Buckhorn.

“Wherever I can find it. You have to be patient and wait for it and be in the right place at the right time,” she said.

“With wildlife you can help yourself but most of the time it's luck. You try to be part of their world without being in their world.”

Edwards used a long lens with “extender” to capture photos of loons with their newborns. She says it was the second year the loons had come back to this particular nesting area.

“I didn’t want to disturb them and they were very comfortable.”

Hastings-Lennox and Addington — The federal government has once again announced its Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) program. It provides funding to help employers create summer job opportunities for students in their communities.

The announcement was made locally by Mike Bossio, MP for Hastings-Lennox and Addington.

“I encourage all students from our riding to benefit from these summer jobs opportunities to gain valuable skills and experience while earning money for the upcoming school year. The summer jobs program is

Bonnie Edwards has an exhibition of her photographic work at the Hastings Branch Library.

Edwards is entirely self-taught and has been taking photos since her early teens.

“I’ve always done sports even in my teens. You have to know the games to get the right action shots. There’s nothing quite like

the feeling when you’ve got the shot,” she said. “You learn from your mistakes. It’s fun and I enjoy it. You do the best you can and only you have to be happy with it.

“You never stop learning.”

such an important program for youth employment in a rural riding like ours,” said Bossio.

According to the press release, the program continues to help young Canadians get the experience and develop the skills they need to get a strong start in their careers.

The Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) program provides funding to help employers create summer job opportunities for students in their communities. A summer job is an important way for young people to learn new skills and get valuable work experience for their résumés.

Young Canadians from

across the country will be able to access thousands of summer jobs opportunities with small businesses, notfor-profit organizations, and the public sector.

Students can find out who is hiring in HastingsLennox and Addington through the Canada Summer Jobs program at www. canada.ca/canada-summerjobs Last year, the federal government nearly doubled the number of jobs available through the CSJ program, from 34,000 jobs to roughly 65,800.

Mystery writer sure to thrill author's night crowd in Hastings

BY BILL FREEMAN

Hastings — Mystery novelist Janet Kellough will be the featured guest at the Friends of the Hastings Library’s annual author’s night on Sept. 29.

The popular event has grown from a modest celebration of very local Hastings-based writers to well-received showcase of regional talent that spans genres, styles, genders but remains rooted in a passion for well-told tales.

Last year, New York Times bestselling gothic novelist Susanna Kearsley drew a full house to the Hastings Civic Centre.

This year it’s Janet Kellough, the creator of the thrillingly local Thaddeus Lewis mystery series and several other books that explore Prince Edward County.

“Pike only catch ‘em, and keep ‘em” derby a splash

BY SUE DICKENS

Marmora — A total of 145 pike were weighed in at Chris’s Live Bait just east of Marmora, sponsor of the “Pike only catch ‘em and keep ‘em” tournament held Saturday July 7.

Organized by the Crowe Lake Waterway Association, director Ritch Smith said the fish derby has hooked anglers who have come to the event for more than 10 years for fun and to win prizes.

There were 113 adults and 30 kids entered this year.

The biggest pike was caught by Fred Schuh, who has a cottage on Crowe Lake, and it weighed in at seven pounds eight ounces. Second biggest was caught by David Lucas from Belleville at six pounds 15 ounces and third was Gord Visee who reeled one in at six pounds six ounces.

In the kids' group, Hunter James caught the biggest pike at three pounds three ounces, winning a $40 gift certificate. Brother Ayden James won a mystery prize for his one pound eight ounce pike, receiving a $10 gift certificate.

Second and third place prizes went to Preston Drew for his three pound pike and third place was won by Olivia Bogle with her two pounds, 12 ounce fish. Fourth place was Maddy Scott with a

pike weighing two pounds eight ounces.

Livi Hutton won a mystery prize in the 12 years and under division.

All the entry money is returned to participants in the form of prizes or gift certificates. The Crowe Lake Waterway Association usually donates two $100 gift certificates for the derby.

Sandra Vanattan who with her husband Chris own Chris’s Live Bait said, “The pike derby is to help sustain walleye populations, by reducing pike in Crowe lake and Crowe River.” Pike fishing is open all year on the lake.

She noted that no fish are wasted.

“Many were taken home by the anglers to eat but any that were not wanted were donated to other derby participants, customers or staff,” she said.

The event is held each year to coincide with Ontario’s family fishing weekend during which residents can fish without a licence while all conservation license bag limits do apply.

The derby is also supported by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry and the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters.

Chris' Live Bait also sponsors a winter ice fishing pike only derby.

Belleville teen Alex Sagriff dies in Cuba Belleville- Family and friends are mourning the stunning loss of an athletic, ‘fun-loving,’ 18-year old Belleville teen who died Thursday, July 6, during a high-school graduation trip to Cuba.

Alex Sagriff, who had just a week before graduated as a Grade 12 student at St. Theresa Catholic Secondary School, was vacationing in Varadero, Cuba, with classmates. Reports said she was found unresponsive in her room at the resort.

A letter sent by S-Trip, the agency that organized the trip, to parents and guardians of the students on the trip said the agency’s staff immediately reacted when told of the situation.

“Emergency medical services arrived on scene and attempted to resuscitate the individual. Sadly the death was pronounced shortly thereafter and the doctor on scene proclaimed that it was due to natural causes,” read the email.

The Sagriff and Davenport families posted a statement on social media on Saturday.

“Our family member, 18-year-old Alex Sagriff, died on Thursday night.

She was found in her hotel room in Varadero, Cuba,” read the statement.

“Our concern right now is trying to get her home. We don’t know much of anything.”

“Alex was an amazing young woman, she had a ton of friends and has a ton of family who loves her,” the statement continued, adding a request that reporters respect their privacy.

“This is an awful time for our family,” it concluded.

Described as a fun-loving student athlete, Sagriff played varsity basketball for the St. Theresa senior Titans.

She was to go on to play basketball at Loyalist this fall.

The Catholic school board Friday issued a statement.

“The Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board and the community of St. Theresa Catholic school is deeply saddened by the tragic news of the death of Alex Sagriff,” said Theresa Kennedy, superintendent of School Effectiveness at ALCDSB in an e-mail statement.

Kennedy said the school principal, vice-principal and staff, as well as the Board bereavement and crisis response team have been on site at St. Theresa.

“The well-being of our students and staff is and continues to be a priority,” continued Kennedy. “The Board response team will continue to be at the school over the next several days, and in collaboration with our community partners, information for accessing community supports has and will continue to be made available to students, parents and staff.”

Brock Tufts, in a Facebook post, asked for privacy for the family of Alex Sagriff and thousands of posts of condolences could be found on social media sites Facebook and Instagram.

A family friend has begun a crowdfunding effort to help the family pay expenses to bring their daughter home. “Funds raised will support Alex’s family with any expenses incurred that insurance won’t cover. Anything above and beyond that, the family will look to supporting Alex’s community through bursaries, programs or services. “ Alex Sagriff is pictured in this 2014 file photo, playing basketball for St. Theresa in the Bay of Quinte AthletGoFundMe: https://www.gofund- ics championship game. me.com/alex-sagriff.

Frustrated patients leaving ER, QHC hears

BY JACK EVANS

Wellington - A rewarding year in terms of accomplishments, but extremely busy and challenging sums up reports from key Quinte Health Care officials delivered at the corporation’s board meeting and annual general meeting.

One key challenge remains the emergency departments of the various hospitals. Figures last year showed in excess of 12 per cent of people attending gave up and left without being seen, said CEO and President Mary Clare Egberts. “We’re not proud of that,” she stated. With

extra effort, that percentage was whittled down to around three per cent.

Higher demand that is budgeted for in a hospital of Belleville’s size also plagued the administration, forcing “cost per weighted case” up to $3,998 compared to the previous year of $3,820, largely the result of overtime staffing required.

But QHC continued to forge ahead in its quest for excellence in terms of patient services, implementing many cost-saving ideas resulting from intense studies and consultations. Committees doing surveys were also empow-

ered to implement some of the results. Records-keeping was streamlined and waiting times for MRI services were reduced to 19 days, while the provincial average remains at more than 100 days.

For work safety efforts, “we experienced a 15 per cent reduction in lost time and modified work incidents last year,” Egberts said.

She also praised the results of a major accreditation visit and results at all four hospitals under the QHC umbrella; Belleville General, Trenton Memorial, Prince Edward Memorial and North Hastings hospitals.

Local chefs and physicians the perfect blend for the 3rd Annual Incredible Doctors’ Cook-off

BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford — Sir John A. Macdonald, Canada’s first prime minister would have been proud to see all the local folks mingling with local chefs and physicians as they created local food dishes together at the 3rd annual Incredible Doctors' Cook-off which was a recipe for success for an event with true local flavour.

It was a tasty and tasteful Canada 150 year celebration.

“I don't have a total on the amount raised yet, but I think it's fair to say it was the most successful year yet,” said John Russell, executive director of the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation.

Funds raised will go toward the purchase of high-priority medical equipment for the hospital.

More than 100 guests attended on Friday, July 7, and paid the $50 ticket price to get the chance to not only support the hospital but to enjoy the creative appetizers of the chefs and physicians.

Food such as spaetzle fries, “something Canadian with an international twist,” created by chef Tina Moorey with help from Dr. Jamie Read were on the menu.

Other appetizers showing the culinary talents of participants included a TriMediterranean dip, linguini sous vide, tiramisu, Malaysian chicken, a chicken confit slider, a buffalo tourtière, butter chicken, to name a few of the menu ingredients.

Fan favourite winner was the team of Dr. Ewen Ferguson and Karma Phuntshok, owner and chef at Karma's By The River.

Best Presentation winner was the team of Piranava Jeyakumar (JR), chef at Riverview Restaurant Bar and Grill and Dr. Doug Macklem Sue Dickens/Metroland

Presented by the Foundation and many sponsors including the platinum the Auxiliary to Campbellford Memo- sponsor, Maizeing Acres Inc. which has rial Hospital, the event was supported by supported the event since it started.

A highlight of the evening was the unveiling of a signature piece, called “The Future is Bright,” a repurposed pallet with the hospital’s logo, backlit. It was done in the spirit of the newest community event for Campbellford, the Pallets on the Town Festival which takes place Aug. 5.

“The future is bright for the Campbellford Memorial Hospital because we are looking at a redevelopment project for the hospital and we are really excited about bringing that to

the community. We hope you will get involved when that time comes,” Holt told the crowd.

A raffle and live auction featuring a ride on a Zamboni in the Santa Claus parade of the winner’s choice were all part of the fun evening.

Making the event complete was entertainment by the Bay City Trio who performed light pop and jazz for the guests with Lee Batchelor on keyboard, Terry Denyes on drums and Stephen Rapos on bass guitar (vocals).

No Drone Zone in Madoc park sees developer seeking one-day exemption Madoc – The “No Drone Zone” sign posted at Centre Hastings Park in Madoc was the subject of a discussion by council following a request to fly a machine overhead and do some filming.

The discussion was launched by an email from Playground Planners, the original installers of the playground/

splash pad at the park.

The company asked if it could do some drone videography of the spray pad and playground and agreed to provide a copy of the video to the municipality for advertising and websites.

Parks, Recreation and Culture Coordinator Jeff Bitton brought forward a report to council with the request

and while two motions were made, neither received a seconder so the decision was left for council’s consideration.

According to Bitton there are no policies regarding drones in any other communities.

“Council agreed to allow the one day of filming by Playground Plan-

ners via a drone provided we post it prior to the day they are filming and that they get signed waivers for anyone who may appear in the videos,” Bitton told the Central Hastings News.

“Beyond that day, we will continue to enforce our “No Drone Zone” rule for the park.”

The filming is expected to happen

“sometime later in July,” and is a onetime event. The company, said Bitton, will be expected to follow all possible safety protocol.

Transport Canada does have rules in place for recreation drone users and they can be found at: https://www. tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/opssvs/flying-drone-safely-legally.html.

TRAVEL

Exploring Ontario’s Oxford County Cheese Trail

BY JOHN M. SMITH

“COW” has become an operating anagram for the “City Of Woodstock” in Ontario’s Oxford County, and my first stop upon arriving there was at the city’s renowned cow statue. The Holstein Association erected a monument honouring the Springbank Snow Countess back in 1937, after she had earned the record of producing the most butterfat over her lifetime, and she continued to hold that world record for more than 20 years. The lifesize statue was eventually moved to the corner of Springbank Ave. and Dundas St., where it’s now on display, so I decided to go there and check it out for myself. After all, I’d been told that many tourists want to get a ‘selfie’ there – and many brides have even included it in their wedding photos. It’s a treasured landmark!

There were as many as 98 separate

cheese factories in Oxford County back in the day, and although this is certainly no longer the case, Oxford County still refers to itself as “The Dairy Capital of Canada”, and the dairy industry is still very important - so much so that an “Oxford County Cheese Trail” has been designed. Therefore, I decided to check out this Cheese Trail for myself, and I found it to be the perfect way to explore the county and learn about its history while enjoying stops at several of the trail’s delectable tasting sites.

I was accompanied on this Cheese Trail by Gabrielle Bossy, who works for Oxford County Tourism, so this made my journey much easier. We spent an entire day on the trail, but we still weren’t able to visit all of the more than 20 designated stops. However, I certainly did get a real sense of what the trail was about and what it meant to the area’s tourism.

Our first stop on the Cheese Trail was at Jakeman’s Maple Farm, where I was given a recipe from Mary Jakeman for a maple baked brie (using local ingredients). I also noticed a big sign on the wall on which the “National Post” had claimed that Jakeman’s maple syrup had been “voted best tasting maple syrup in Canada”. I told Mary that I’d have to talk to my neighbor, Ron Hubbs, about this claim, for he makes some pretty tasty maple syrup himself – and he’s always a popular stop on our county’s very own “Maple in the County”. Mary chuckled at this, said that she knew Ron, and that her award had been received in both 2004 and 2012.

Our next stop was at the Ingersoll Cheese & Agriculture Museum, and this would be a ‘must’, in my opinion.

After all, it provides a glimpse of what it was like to make cheese here in the early 1900s, has a replica factory on

site, and explains the history of its giant (7,300 pound) block of cheese that was created in Ingersoll back in 1866 (at what was the James Harris Cheese Factory, where the Elm Hurst Inn now stands). This mammoth cheese was built as a tribute to the growth of the cheese and dairy industry in Ingersoll, and it was eventually shipped and showcased in Europe. It proved to be a great marketing ploy - and resulted in the yearly shipment of 300,000 boxes of cheese to Great Britain. I’d also recommend a visit to the Cheesy Playground, for it’s located right behind this museum. Here I found youngsters climbing over and through what looks like slices of cheese – and spinning on what looks like a big wheel of blue cheese. Yes, this cheese-themed playground seems very appropriate here in Oxford County!

After learning about the area’s cheese history at the Ingersoll Cheese

There’s plenty of cheese on display at Gunn’s Hill Artisan Cheese.

& Agriculture Museum, it was important to visit one of the modern cheese factories, so we were off next to Gunn’s Hill Artisan Cheese. Here we did some cheese tasting, of course, and owner Shep Ysselstein gave us a tour. My favourite part was simply standing in a room filled with a plethora of blocks of cheese. What a sight! I also learned that Shep learned his trade by making cheese in the Swiss Alps – and he particularly enjoyed creating specialty cheeses. Therefore, not only does he work with cow milk, but also sheep, goat, and water buffalo milk! I learned that Oxford County’s Quality Sheep Milk produces delicious sheep milk on its nearby sheep and dairy goat farm (try some of its smoked feta). Other worthwhile area cheese makers would include Mountainoak Cheese (with its 18 flavours of gouda) and Bright Cheese and Butter (which dates back to 1874).

After checking out the cheese itself, we also stopped at some cheese-related destinations located along Oxford County’s Cheese Trail. For example, Ingersoll’s Chocolatea uses local cream to craft all of their chocolates, and The Olde Bakery Café is the place to try a cajeta latte (cajeta, a Mexican goat’s milk caramel, is made right here in Ingersoll at Local Dairy Products).

Woodstock’s Dairy Capital Cheese Shoppe showcases locally sourced cheeses along with its many cheese accessories – and The Wooden Pearl sells locally made Goats Milk Soap.

Woodstock’s Charles Dickens Pub uses Gunn’s Hill cheese curds in their poutine. Yes, ‘buying locally’ seems to be a ‘big deal’ in Oxford County.

This year’s ‘udderly’ awesome events in Oxford County include its “Dairy Capital Cheese Fest” (Apr. 22), “Big Cheese Days” (Saturdays in May), “Cowapolooza” (Aug. 18-19), and “Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show” (Sept.

12-14).

Napanee woman fined for leaving dog in sweltering car A 57-year-old woman from Tamworth has been convicted of animal cruelty under the Ontario SPCA Act after leaving her dog unattended in a hot vehicle.

Sandra Whitton pleaded guilty in a Napanee Provincial Offences Court on July 6 to permitting distress to an animal. She received a $250 fine.

On May 12, an Ontario SPCA of-

ficer responded to a call about a dog left unattended in a car in downtown Napanee. An approximately nineyear-old Shih Tzu-type dog could be seen inside the vehicle in visible distress. She was panting heavily and attempting to seek shade from the sun under the seats of the vehicle.

When the dog’s owner could not be located, the officer gained entry to the vehicle and removed the dog,

which survived.

“Dogs have a limited ability to sweat, so even a short time in a hot environment can be life-threatening,” says Bonnie Bishop, Senior Inspector, Ontario SPCA. “Parked cars can quickly reach deadly temperatures, even on relatively mild days with the car parked in the shade and the windows slightly open. If you can’t take your pet with you

when you leave your car, leave them at home where they are safe.”

If you observe an animal suffering in the heat, call 310-SPCA (7722) or your local police.

To educate the public about the dangers of leaving pets unattended in vehicles during the summer months, the Ontario SPCA launched the 2017 No Hot Pets campaign in partnership with SPCAs and hu-

mane societies from across Canada.

Through the No Hot Pets online forum, people are asked to share the dangers of leaving pets in vehicles using the hashtag #nohotpets. Pet owners are also asked to go online to nohotpets.ca and pledge to never leave their pets in their vehicles.

Those who pledge will receive a free No Hot Pets window decal for their vehicles, while supplies last.

8 Wing Band performance at Halifax Tattoo was an ‘honour’

BY JACK EVANS

Halifax – The annual Royal International Halifax Tattoo here is much more than just a tattoo. It is a world-class pageant and a major part of the local culture.

One can sense the party mood as soon as the lights go out in the 10,000seat arena and the massive band of more than 200 players launches into an overture. After a few stirring bars of “The Maple Leaf Forever” the band swings into “The Log Driver’s Waltz” and a large number of gusty singers burst into song spontaneously to join in, ditto for “Farewell to Nova Scotia,” this province’s unofficial anthem.

There is a solid representation in this year’s Tattoo from the Quinte area, with 21 players from CFB Trenton’s 8 Wing Band, one of the major performing groups taking part. This band has played for many spectacular events, including changes of command, unit anniversaries and assorted community performances, but being part of a huge cast of more than 1,500 performers in front of many thousands of people is something they will all remember. Bandmaster WO Chris Webster described it as “a real honour,” and members of the band agreed, adding comments about the “friendly people”

The huge Scotia Place arena in the heart of downtown Halifax is almost filled to capacity with the hundreds of marching bands and pipes and drums participants.

Jack Evans/Metroland

of Halifax and the thrill of performing before such huge crowds. Adding excitement was a visit by many of the officers and men from the USN aircraft car-

rier Dwight D. Eisenhower, which was visiting Halifax for several days during the tattoo. The cast involved performers from across Canada, the United

States, Russia, Australia, Germany, Switzerland and Great Britain. Hence the name, ‘international.”

For Webster, the highlight was when

it was his turn to direct the entire ensemble in the closing national anthem.

To prepare for this huge spectacle, the band flew in almost three weeks in advance to rehearse the complex regimental-sized marches around the arena and get to know their fellow cast members. Besides hundreds of bands people, there is a massive choir of local voices plus a children’s choir. Apart from music by the ton, there are hilarious comedy acts, mind-boggling athletic stunts and other circus-type acts. Highlights included an inter-provincial partnership between the Calgary fiddlers and the French Acadian dancers, also when the soloist with the United Statas Naval Band sang “Bridge Over Troubled Water, the lights dimmed and dozens of planted flashlights around the arena lit up and waved along with the singer.

The Tattoo started in 1979 as a special salute to a visit by Queen Elizabeth and has developed into an annual show of seven performances running late June through early July.

His involvement with this year’s Tattoo may not be the last for Webster. His new posting, effective almost immediately, is to Halifax and he is looking forward to it with enthusiasm.

All one can think to say is what Oliver Twist said at the breakfast table: “Please sir, I want more.”

All-Together Housing celebrates 10th anniversary with new grant money Belleville – All-Together Affordable Housing celebrated its 10th anniversary last week – and there was plenty to celebrate as the corporation also received a $51,100 Ontario Trillium Foundation Grant.

The news was unveiled July 7 at a ceremony at the All-Together’s 51 Victoria Ave. unit, a building which offers permanent residences and transitional units.

All-Together Housing is a non-profit charitable organization that offers housing to Canadian Mental Health Association and HIV/Aids Regional Services clients.

The agency believes there is considerable research to support the link between health and housing, which is one of reasons the agency chooses to partner with the CMHA and HARS. “All-Together is deeply grateful for this grant which helped us complete renovations to our Healthy Space Housing project at 51 Victoria Ave.,” said Bob Cottrell, president of All-Together Housing. “The renovations have made possible the creation of a community meeting space for non-profit groups focused on poverty reduction initiatives and positive space housing options, a barrier-free washroom and a transitional housing unit for lowincome individuals living with chronic illnesses, either physical or mental.”

Cottrell believes there are a number of measurable benefits to its Healthy Space housing project, including being

the first housing agency between Toronto and Ottawa to provide supportive housing options to persons living with HIV/AIDS and offering a model of affordable housing within the local community.

All-Together was formed in July 2007 when four local community agencies – Community Advocacy and Legal Centre, Hastings Housing Resource Centre, Three Oaks Shelter for Women and United Way Quinte – decided to

create a new affordable housing agency.

The agency now has a second building, called Tom’s Place, on Forin Street. It’s primarily used for transitional housing for seniors.

“There is an affordable housing cri-

sis here,” says Cottrell. “There is also a need for much more supportive housing, which is why we are grateful for the partnerships we have formed to support some of our more vulnerable tenants.”

Although wait-lists for affordable housing continue to be long and the resources of mental health agencies are stretched thin, Cottrell is optimistic that the future will be better, as senior governments are making more pledges to solve housing shortages.

“The next decade promises to be an historic one for affordable housing,” he said. “Municipalities and affordable housing providers will find themselves with $11.2 billion more to spend on new and existing units over the coming decade, as part of the federal government’s multi-pronged push to help people find homes.”

The agency also expects to form a partnership with a local affordable housing developer in order to take advantage of the new federal dollars.

“All three levels of government need to be involved in providing affordable housing. We are hopeful that municipal councils will be offering their own suite of financial incentives to housing providers,” said Cottrell. “Incentives can include identification of affordable housing in community improvement projects, waiving of parking requirements, donations of land and reduced development charges just to name a few.”

Hastings health is worse than the national average

BY LYNN MARRIOTT

Tweed – The Department of Emergency Services 2016 statistics were presented

by Doug Socha, the Chief of HastingsQuinte Paramedic Services, to Tweed Council, in the hamlet of Marlbank on June 27.

Hastings ambulances travel 1.5 million km per year. Calls were up 8.4 % in 2016 to 32,292. There have been 1,000 more calls each year since 2014.

Ambulance response times have been met, he said. There is eight minutes to get to a heart attack or stroke and 25 minutes to respond to a cut or similar injury.

Tweed has a 12 hour per day ambulance service and Madoc has a 24/7 station.

A full time ambulance costs approximately $1 million per year, said Socha.

The province pays half. To upgrade Tweed to 24/7 would cost $500,000. If Council upgrades, it would pay half the first year and the province would pay half the second year. Socha suggested the service

could increase six hours per day, per year for two years.

Hastings has one per cent less 20 year olds and under, and four per cent more 65 year olds or older. There are many 60 year olds looking after their parents, he said.

People are living longer and staying home, he said. The most calls are from people between 81 and 90. Each decade younger, the number of calls decreases, until a spike in calls for 11-20 years old.

“The young boys and men smarten up by their thirties,” said Socha.

We need to treat people before they call. Ambulance calls reported to family doctors do that. This program is now applying for continued funding. More response workers trained to dispense medications is also successful.

Remote area calls are difficult. A Utility Task Vehicle, outfitted with a stretcher, has been purchased. Smart glasses are in use. Drone usefulness is being investigated.

“Proud to be Canadian” photo wins Star Touch contest

BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford — Combining her love for her family with a passion for photography and pride in Canada, Sarah Lewis used her camera lens to capture a silhouette of her two children with a Canadian flag and she won the Star Touch Canada Daythemed contest.

Her photo, titled Proud to be Canadian, was entered just six days before the contest deadline.

Shared on social media, the overwhelming online support as people voted for her entry helped her to win.

“I posted it on my Facebook page and then people started cheering and John Charlton, a local photographer who also excels at web design, said post it on the Campbellford page, so I did and it was shared and voted on,” she told the Trent Hills News.

Sharing on social media resulted in her making it to the top 20 entries and then the judges chose her photograph as the winner.

“There were at least 140 photos in the contest,” said Lewis.

The image of her children, Emily, eight, and Wyatt, six, was taken during an orange sunset in the backyard

of their home on the Bay of Quinte in Prince Edward County.

Using her Canon SD to take the photo, she said: “I wanted to expose for the sky and wanted the kids to be in a silhouette, that was my goal.

I knew the Canadian flag would be backlit and look good against the sky.

I think I shot this with a high aperture.”

“I like to do theme shots for holidays such as Christmas or Halloween and I wanted to do something new for my cover photos, and I knew the contest was happening so I thought what’s the worst that can happen,” she said with a laugh.

The win means she receives $500.

The contest is held every month.

“Photography is just a hobby. I love it. I think it’s really fun. It’s my favourite thing to do when I get home from work,” said Lewis.

She and her husband Aaron Macanual are franchise owners of Trent Hills Canadian Tire. “Aaron always gets the attention for his role with Canadian Tire. He bought me my first camera and is the reason I have all this nice camera stuff,” she concluded with a grin.

Quinte Health Care hosts upbeat AGM

BY JACK EVANS

Wellington - Trenton Memorial, once perceived as a hospital due for closure, has been saved through recent provincial government pledges and plans are now underway to build a new hospital in Prince Edward County. QHC’s audited financial report showing a year-end surplus of $1.04 million was described as a “reprieve, not a deliverance,” but that helped contribute to the positive atmosphere.In early 2016, QHC was in the process of eliminating several positions to find savings amid a new provincial funding formula that had the health care organization at risk of assuming a massive deficit.During the AGM, Mike Cowan took the podium as a delegation for Our TMH, a citizen group which lobbied for QHC to keep the Trenton hospi-

tal open and improve services. Cowan’s stormy outbursts have been a fixture at QHC board meetings in recent years.

But on Tuesday, he praised the QHC board for its efforts toward maintaining TMH as a viable community hospital, plus working to add additional services such as a dialysis unit.

From there on it was smooth sailing as representatives of the various foundation and funding support groups reviewed their successes and contributions over the past year. Later, nominations to fill vacancies on the board rolled through.

A report on the happenings of North Hastings Hospital focussed on the success of a new six-chair dialysis unit.Phil Wild, of the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation board, which works to secure donations to the hospital, reported

a balanced budget for his organization.

Peter Knudsen, of the Belleville General Hospital Foundation, reported almost 16,000 donations to his foundation and gifts of more than $4 million to BGH for things such as a new CT Scanner and a Maldi-Tof machine to provide same-day identification of pathogenic bacteria.

In her video-supported annual report, QHC CEO and President Mary Clare Egberts, stressed the corporation’s fourway test: “ Respect Everyone. Imagine it’s you. Take ownership (of issues). And always strive to improve.”She said the organization cared for 311,000 people over the past year. This included 104,100 emergency room visits, 23,900 surgeries, 1,500 babies born and 10,218 people in cancer care.The board was to elect its new chair following the meeting.

Eclectic folkie Tom Savage plays The Old Church Kingston native Tom Savage will appear at the Old Church Theatre Friday July 14 on the heels of a busy spring schedule.

After a tour of the U.S. in April followed by work on recording his new CD with (Old Church alumnus) Tony Silvestri, Bonz Bowering, and Seamus Cowan, Tom made a swing into Eastern Canada in early June. He will squeeze in a few dates in Eastern Ontario before

heading on tour again, this time to Western Canada.

Tom Savage’s music comes from places occupied

by Townes Van Zandt and Bruce Springsteen, but also lurking in the shadows of influence are Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page in one corner, and Wes Montgomery and Freddie Robinson in another. Tom is a true believer and his talent doesn’t end at the stage: He recently produced Al Duquette’s new

record “Tales of the Wild West”. A writer of Country and Folk songs, sung in a weathered, emotive voice with a hint of a Bluesman’s growl, Tom Savage is not your average folksinger.

Tickets are $25 at the door or $20 in advance and can be purchased online at www.oldchurch.ca or by phoning Lesley Bonisteel at (613) 848-1411. Bar and doors open at 7PM. Showtime is 7:30.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Duck flap ends happily for Madoc woman Dear Editor, In a follow-up to the conflict over my pet duck, I would like to express my profound gratitude here in public to my neighbours and friends who supported my appeal to keep my pet duck – I feel blessed to live among such caring people.

I am overjoyed to be able to keep my little girl Rebecca, although we both have to adapt to new circumstances. We miss the support of the resilient and self-confident chicken Charlotta. I also have to endeavour to replace the companionship of Rebecca’s alter ego, Jemima Puddleduck, who got killed by a hawk last December.

Rebecca is growing more attached to me by the day, and maybe at some point in the future I’ll be able to take her inside the house.

(So if anyone knows how to sew duck diapers please get in touch with me.)

Keeping “poultry” over the last four years has been quite the journey for me:

learning to take care of them, reading their body language and various vocal sounds and grieving over their short lives. Observing their range and depth of emotions – from empathy to envy, and fear to joy – you start appreciating how precious their lives are. And observing how vulnerable they are to all kinds of predation your instinct to protect them by hook or by crook kicks in.

This is a strong instinct: it drives you to spoil them in every way imaginable.

You get the best food and treats and you spend the best chunk of your day in their company. They make wonderful gardening companions. Jemima used to be the adventurer and explorer among my “musketeers” as I used to call them. She would watch what I’m doing rather than what I’m digging up. Rebecca was always a dreamer and slow to follow and scared of all kinds of things. She wouldn’t even swim in the

pond like Jemima. Marigold, my Brahma chicken who died after becoming egg bound after just her second egg, used to stand

by Rebecca’s side until she had gathered the strength to run after Jemima. Yes, and even though sadly loss and grief are part of keeping these birds, they also teach you how to move on in life and live in the moment. Rebecca was inconsolable for three weeks after Jemima’s tragic death but then she made fast friends with Charlotta and

by March she rejoyced over the bright sunlight and the snow melting into puddles.

They also teach you unconditional love, because as you pour all your love into them you don’t ask much in return. You just watch them enjoying the passing moments and give thanks that you may keep them – well, her. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

McQUILLAN, Florence Christina, Oct 6, 1936 - Jun 29, 2017 Florence McQuillan, of Island Park Residence (Campbellford) and formerly of Brighton, passed away peacefully into the arms of her Saviour, on June 29, 2017 in her 81st year. Left to treasure her memory are her husband and best friend, George Edmund; daughter Lorraine (Joe), son Mark (Diane), and son Karl (Liz); grandchildren Grant, Alison, Peter, Kyle, Eric, Megan and Grady; and 5 great-grandchildren.

Born in 1936 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Florence emigrated to Canada in 1963 with her young family. She worked as an RNA for many years in Mount Albert and Newmarket; loved and cared for her family with all her heart; and rejoiced in all the many blessings that befell them over the years. Florence enjoyed a long, full retirement travelling with Edmund, residing at their lake-front property in Minden, and for 20 years in Brighton by the Bay. Family and treasured friends left to mourn her will remember Florence as a gentle-souled woman of faith who adored her family; loved to travel (as much for the food as the sites); and read voraciously. She will leave a hole in the hearts and lives of all who knew her and those she loved.

Special thanks to the caring staff at Island Park Residence; Dr. A. Minuk; Dr. K. Parks; Northumberland CCAC Caregiver and Palliative Support teams; and Saint Elizabeth’s Palliative Care.

A memorial for Florence will be held at the Fellowship Christian Reform Church, 204 Main St., Brighton, on Friday, July 7, 2017 at 2 o’clock, reception to follow in the Church Hall.

The Good Earth Wet ground, high and dry ground - soil questions answered

By Dan Clost Unless you have a bog or a pond, there are very plants that will accept being planted into wet ground. I say very few because, while I’m not aware of any such chappie, there are eleventy-eleven gazillion different genera on the planet and certainly there are a few that will suit.

Some well known plants, e.g. weeping willow, which will handle very wet soil but they need to be planted when the soil is dry. For example, if you have a spot

that is wet during the spring and then dries out by August, Weeping Willy will do well there... if planted in August. So will native red maples, river birches, hemlocks, certain viburnums and so on. An excellent resource to find these groupings is a small book called, Trees In Canada.

Why am I writing about this? Today, after penning this column, I will plant a pagoda dogwood, Cornus alternifolia and an upright Saskatoon serviceberry, Amelanchier alnifolia ‘Obelisk.” These two will join a pair of Lemon Princess spirea, Spirea japonica that I planted last week. All four were returned by customers who thought them dead: all of the leaves had turned brown and shriveled up. For those of you with plants exhibiting similar symptoms you have two choices. If they are established shrubs you can stay the course and wait for the soil to dry out a bit; after which the plant should refoliate. For new plantings, say two years or less, you might consider popping the plant out of the ground and moving it to a new spot. In such a short period of time, the root mass will likely be within the planting hole and there will be minimal damage; certainly much less than drowning. Btw, in just one week, the spirea are well on their way to complete refoliation.

Without a doubt, this has been an

unusual spring. Some have called it an “English Spring” due to the amount of rainfall and others have gone on-line to bring up plans for an Ark. Fer sure, eh, many people will have been re-acquainted with the term “flood plain.”

Another task that has fallen upon me is that of replacing several hanging baskets. It seems that they are in a rain shadow, so to speak, and they have dried out.

After 30 plus years, you might think I should know this...and I do... but with all of the precipitation it didn’t occur to me that some plants required supplemental watering. Sigh.

I’m going to combine variegated geranium (red flowers), Dragon Wing

Help keep your community clean.

tate is kin to the Sahara Desert. We have a few spots where some large water-garden tubs are buried. Two such tubs have some drainage holes drilled into them and one has no drainage.

This allows us to copy several different moisture environments and broadens our pallet. As well, we’ve used a few large ice-cream tubs- which explains to the non-casual observer why bog iris is growing next to barren wort (Epimidium.)

If you want a peat bog, simply bury a plastic bag full of peat on its side and then cut off the top. Fill it full of water, add sundews and pitcher plants.

Thanks to Doug Green for that tidbit

begonias (similarly red flowers) some scaveola, blossoms of coneflower blue, and a trailing yellow daisy of some sort. In the centre, there will be a Whirling Butterflies, Guara lindeimer.

The plan is for the foliage of the geranium and begonia to cover up that of the guara, leaving only the long thin scapes with the “butterflies” hovering above the other blooms. The blue and yellow flowers fill out a primary colour scheme and their stems will spill out over the edge of the basket. It looks good on paper but we’ll just have to wait and see how it all comes together.

About one-third of all cancers can be prevented by eating well, being active and maintaining a healthy body weight. While reducing your risk of cancer is certainly a year-round goal, the onset of better weather can inspire better habits. There’s no better time than right now to make a change.

1. Be sun smart For many, summer means spending time in the sun with friends, playing outdoor sports or just relaxing outside.

Enjoy the sun, but practise your SunSense – check the UV Index, try to reduce your time in the sun between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., seek shade, cover up, wear a hat and sunglasses, use a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher and reapply often!

2. Try low alcohol or no alcohol For some, summer goes hand in hand with staying cool on patios, by the pool or in your backyard with alcoholic drinks. Drinking any type of alcohol increases your risk of head and neck, breast, colorectal and liver cancers.

Try these tips to help reduce your alcohol intake – avoid eating salty snacks as these can make you thirstier, try a shandy or a wine spritzer and keep a glass of water handy so you can quench your thirst without reaching for alcoholic drinks.

3. Enjoy seasonal vegetables and fruit Re-think your meal by filling half your plate with veggies

and fruit. Try vegetables like field cucumbers, snow peas and red peppers to spice up your salads.

Up your fruit intake by snacking on nectarines, raspberries and watermelon. With so many different vegetables and fruit in season, summer is a great time to try new recipes.

4. Rethink the BBQ Cooking meat, poultry and fish at high temperatures can create chemicals that may increase cancer risk. To limit the creation of these chemicals, try marinating meat in balsamic vinegar or lemon juice with your favourite herbs before cooking. Avoid charring by barbecuing slowly, keeping food away from hot coals and trimming off visible fat to prevent flare-ups on the grill. Or grill vegetables, veggie burgers and fruit slices instead of meat.

5. Be smoke-free The single best thing you can do for your health at any time of year is quit smoking. Summer is a great time to try or try again. Distract yourself from cravings by taking advantage of the good weather and going for a walk instead of a cigarette. If you’re quitting smoking or are already a non-smoker, find smoke-free places to enjoy the summer, like patios, parks and sports and entertainment venues.
