Barrel racing, pole bending — 3 days of fun at Healey Falls Quarter Horses

Trent Hills — More than 100 riders competed in a barrel racing and pole bending speed show held last weekend at Healey Falls Quarter Horses near Warkworth.

The three-day event, sanctioned by both the National Barrel Horse Association (NBHA) — Canada and the Ontario Barrel Racing Association, was the first major show Art and Elaine Wright have hosted since 2012.

Two of the competitors were grandchildren of the Wrights, Morgan and Becky Murphy, 16 and 13, respectively. They competed at the 2016 NBHA Youth World Championships in Georgia in 2016, and qualified again this year.

So did two other local riders from District 4 of the NBHA, Amy Newman and Cierra Boniface.

Art Wright, who's 79, has been around horses all his life, growing up on a farm and continuing to farm when he was an adult. He cultivated and cut hay with a team of horses until the mid-1970s, and has been a breeder for decades.

“We really try to raise the all-round horse,” he said.

“We don't try to raise a super barrel horse or a super halter horse,” or one for pleasure or for roping.

“We want ours to do everything,” Wright said.

He loves barrel racing because of “the speed, the competition” and the fact there's no doubt which horse is the winner, unlike halter and pleasure events, where “it's one man's opinion” who's the best.

“Very few people like the same thing,” he said. “One will like something a little better than the other. You can have the best horse going but you might not win.”

With barrel racing, “there's no judges out there; it's your own horse, your own ride (and) when you go past that clock it tells you if you won or lost,” Wright said.

“It's a good sport,” especially for young people.

“It keeps them out of trouble (and) keeps them busy Bobbie Burris recorded a time of 17:02 seconds on this run. with the horses.”

Stirling resident uses Bowen physiotherapy to help people and animals

BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling — Does your dog, cat, or other animal have an injury, limited mobility, neurological problems, or listlessness — or do you? Chances are good that Stirling's Kathy Morton can help.

Morton runs Embody Bowen Vitality, a service that uses a holistic approach to help Quinte-area people and pets with a variety of physical problems using a painless, non-invasive technique called Bowen physiotherapy.

Bowen therapy was named after Australian man Tom Bowen, who developed a method that uses a gently rolling motion of the therapist's hands on the body's muscles, tendons, neural pathways, and connective tissues. It does not involve the bones and joints, making it quite different from chiropractic adjustment.

“We don't manipulate anything,” Morton said. “It puts the body into rest and repair. The body is quite amazing. It can heal itself.”

Morton, a trained Bowen practitioner, first learned this method for treating people. When she learned that it can be used on ani-

mals, she did additional training and became certified by the Canine Bowen Institute in St. Catharines. While most of her nonhuman patients are dogs, she has also worked on horses and calves.

“Animals have always been my passion,” Morton said. A competitive rider, she uses Bowen on her own horses and dogs as needed.

“I think it's such a great alternative for dogs,” Morton said.

The actual technique is not difficult, she said, but learning all the proper anatomy and where to apply the technique takes extensive study, especially when you are working on more than one species.

She said the technique can cure some ailments, improve function and mobility, and offer relief and improved quality of life for chronic, non-curable problems such as hip dysplasia and degenerative myelopathy (a progressive disease of the spinal cord) in dogs.

“It doesn't hurt to try it, especially if nothing else has worked for you,” she said.

All of her patients must see a doctor or veterinarian first, because she treats the problem after it has been identified. She does not diagnose.

“With animals, it's been very successful with paralysis,” she said, adding that it also helps with rehabilitation after injury or surgery.

“It can help with elderly dogs and give them some vitality. It will help organ issues as well.”

A treatment generally lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, and the owner stays with their animal during the session. Depending on the patient and the ailment, one treatment might be enough, while others will need repeated sessions.

Sometimes the change can be quite spectacular, she says. In one of her cases, a dog with complete hind-end paralysis and incontinence was treated several times.

The dog showed improvement after each visit, and eventually he was able to walk, run, get up and down on his own, and regained most bladder and bowel control.

“It's very humbling and rewarding to see what it will do and how it can help,” Morton said.

Winnie steals the show in Hastings

In the good old summertime

BY BILL FREEMAN

Hastings — Winnie the Pooh stole the show at the Hastings Ontario Early Years Centre (OEYC) teddy bear picnic on Wednesday, July 12.

The annual Civic Centre event drew a large crowd of children, parents, caregivers and “stuffies” to what was also a Canada 150 celebration.

The Pooh costume and books were made possible by a $750 Community Fund For Canada’s 150th grant sponsored by the Campbellford-Seymour Community Foundation.

The Winnie the Pooh costume and literary material are being used throughout Trent Hills and Northumberland to help promote literacy and OEYC programs.

“We were really pleased to get the grant,” said Angie Nestoruk, early learning specialist at the Hastings centre. “The idea is to promote the services we offer and literacy, and I think we’ve hit both targets.”

The OEYC has “really benefitted” from having the costume and reading material, she said.

This is the centre’s sixth teddy bear picnic, and they will host an- Winnie the Pooh stole the show at the Ontario Early Years teddy bear picnic in Hastings July 12. other on Aug. 9.

OPINION

Time for giving, living, thanking

Absent presidents are good for good quotes Newspapers still need copy to hold the ads apart even when nothing much is happening. So I was quite pleased when I noticed that the presidents of two African countries, Nigeria and Zimbabwe, both “missing Gwynne Dyer were in action”: spending most of their time in hospitals overseas, while their spokespersons denied that there was anything wrong.

Nigeria is Africa’s most populous country, with the continent’s biggest economy.

Zimbabwe is dirt poor and dead broke, but its president, Robert Mugabe is Africa’s longest-ruling leader. So you call the piece ‘Absent Presidents’, you do a few arabesques around the themes of absolute power and irresponsibility, and you get to go home early.

There were even a couple of juicy quotes to lead with. One of the supporters of Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari, Senator Shehu Sani, had warned publicly: “Prayers for the absent Lion King have waned. Now the hyenas and the jackals are scheming and talking to each other in whispers; still doubting whether the Lion King will be back or not.”

And President Buhari’s wife Aisha replied, also in public, that he would soon be back to clean house: “God has answered the prayers of the weaker animals. The hyenas and jackals will soon be sent out the kingdom.” How deliciously ‘African.’ The piece practically writes itself. It couldn’t be simpler.

Unfortunately, it’s too simple. It feeds into all the stereotypes about feckless African presidents who cling to power too long and lead their countries to ruin. In fact neither Buhari nor Mugabe is a thief (although some of the people around them are), and Buhari’s illness is a real misfortune for his country. Whereas Mugabe’s demise would not come a moment too soon for his unfortunate country.

Robert Mugabe’s life has been a tragedy.

He led Zimbabwe’s independence struggle, and in the early days he was sometimes even compared to South Africa’s Nelson Mandela, a wise and generous man who relinquished the presidency after only five years in power to let the next generation take over.

But although Mugabe was clever, he was never wise.

standards, but he has now been in power for 37 years and his increasingly arbitrary actions have wrecked the economy. Few people have real jobs, hyper-inflation has destroyed the national currency, and about a quarter of the population has emigrated in search of work, mostly to South Africa.

Mugabe is now 93 years old, but he talks of living and ruling until he is 100, and is certainly going to run again in next year’s election, which will be rigged as usual. His wife, Grace Mugabe, says he should run “as a corpse” if he dies before the vote (but she might just decide to run herself.)

So the fact that Mugabe is now in hospital in Singapore, for the third time this year, is not causing widespread dismay in Zimbabwe. Opposition leaders complain about him “running the show from his hospital bed,” but they wouldn’t actually mind if he died.

They think nothing could be worse than more of Mugabe – although they could be wrong about that. The scramble for power when he finally goes could turn very violent.

If Robert Mugabe is a classic case of a good man gone bad, Muhammadu Buhari may be just the opposite. He first came to public notice as one of Nigeria’s revolvingdoor military dictators, seizing power in a coup in 1983 and losing it to another coup in 1985. The one thing that distinguished him from all the others was that he actually did fight the rampant corruption that has kept the great majority of Nigeria’s 180 million people poor.

Buhari, who calls himself a “converted democrat”, ran for the presidency unsuccessfully in 2003, 2007 and 2011 before finally winning in the 2015 election. There were high hopes that he would be the one who finally brought corruption under control, and perhaps he could have been – but nothing actually happened. In fact, it took him six months just to select all his cabinet members.

In retrospect, it seems likely that Buhari fell ill not long after he took office, and has been severely distracted by his health problems since mid-2016. He has been in London for medical treatment more than half the time since January, and has not been seen in public at all since early May. Despite his wife’s assurances to the contrary, it is unlikely that he will ever really run the country again.

This is not necessarily a disaster for Nigeria – the graveyards everywhere are full of indispensable men. But it may represent a lost opportunity, for Buhari did really sound like he meant it. Better luck next time. There, you see. I did get an article out of it after all.

Editorial by Chris Malette In communities across our sprawling readership area – from Gilmour to Consecon and from Cramahe Township to Flinton – there is rarely a weekend when a fundraiser of some sort isn’t under way.

In summer those events kick into hyperdrive, many of them involving grown men and women chasing (and often cursing) after small, round, white balls.

So it was that many of the region’s duffers, sports celebrity fans and supporters of myriad local charities came out for the 30th and final Medigas Celebrity Classic golf tournament last weekend in Belleville.

The lure, of course, is to tee it up with the likes of Darryl Sittler, Wendel Clark, Andrew Shaw or veteran NHLers and ball players like Rene Robert and Blue Jays Kelly Gruber and Alvis Woods.

The tournament had its roots in 1988 when former St. Louis Blues captain Rick Meagher, of Belleville, got together with buddy John Pepper to begin a fundraiser to drum up money for an accessible playground for children like Pepper’s daughter Nicole, in whose name the ‘pirate ship’ park in Belleville’s Riverside Park is named.

Over the years, the tournament raised eyepopping numbers of money for a local fundraiser and, as the tournament and the projects it funded progressed over the years, the numbers remained high and impressive.

While the focus remained on helping local children when Medigas took over the tournament 10 years ago, it also introduced the “Driving Dreams for our Youth Scholarship” program. It’s a $5,000 scholarship to assist seven senior students, each year, from local secondary schools who are graduating in their fourth year of high school and entering an accredited college or university in a health science field of study.

Medigas has carried on the tradition of the mega-tournament for several years, explained Belleville’s director for Medigas Eastern Canada Randy McFarland. But he feels it’s time for a new, fresh group of people to take over.

The core of the Meagher/Medigas machinery has remained relatively solid, with some natural changeover when the Meagher crew finished 20 long years of doing the grunt work in the background so the glamorous golf day can attract the deep pockets whose owners make the fund-raising possible.

There will always be a need for funds for special medical projects. But, in keeping, the Medigas tournament has recently raised funds for a play structure at Belleville General Hospital and McFarland said he hopes the next batch of funds will help with a yet-to-be-determined City of Bel-

Over the years, the tournament, in all of its forms, has raised funds for: Belleville Dialysis, BGH Childrens Treatment Centre; Belleville Rotary Club Special Children’s Fund; Belleville YMCA challenger baseball and Special Needs Camp; Easter Seals; Juvenile Arthritis and Diabetes; KGH Pediatric ICU; Kingston Regional Cancer Centre pediatric oncology unit; the M.S. Society; and Quinte Access, which provides transportation for physically challenged individuals.

But, a guy like Matt Mitchell, who’s hosted the morning show on CJBQ AM for 28 years, deserves a nod at the very least. Mitchell is leaving and we want to say, ‘Thanks Matt to one of the truly good guys in our business.’

From a partial story/tribute on the station’s website: Prior to arriving to CJBQ in 1989 to replace then morning man Peter Thompson, Matt worked at four stations, including ones in Edmonton and Kingston.

His move to the Quinte region was sparked by a desire to be close to his father, who was nearing the end of his life, and he’s been here ever since and intends to stay in his retirement years.

“I love this area and I love my listeners. They’re like friends, like family,” says the man who regularly receives upwards of 50 calls from listeners during his morning show. When he made his retirement announcement on air last week, the phone lines lit up like a Christmas tree.

“It never ceases to amaze me how folks around here help each other during emergencies and support so many charities so generously. They’re amazing, and I’m going to miss them dearly.”

At 62, Mitchell has rarely wavered from his friendly, calming on-air style, often Peter Gzowski-like in the feeling that his voice fits like a warm cardigan on a cold morning.

But, for anyone who knows Matt, he’s the same guy off air and more. A truly friendly bear of a man with a great sense of humour and when he asks how you’re doing, he means it.

Like the people who devote hundreds of hours to making things like charity golf tournaments, pig roasts and other community benefits running, to folks like Mitchell, who genuinely love the people of their community, they’re all part and parcel for a rich fabric that makes this region’s communities such a joy to call home.

Quinte Humane Society promotes No Hot Pets campaign for local businesses

BY ERIN STEWART

Quinte West — No excuses; no hot pets.

The Quinte Humane Society is encouraging local businesses throughout the Quinte region to participate in the annual No Hot Pets campaign through the Ontario SPCA. Businesses that pledge their support for the campaign will receive a sign that they can print and display in their window, letting the public know that they can bring their animals inside while they shop.

Frank Rockett, executive director of the Quinte Humane Society, said it’s important to spread awareness about the dangers of leaving pets in vehicles.

“Locally, on that first hot weekend, we had six calls in one day about dogs locked in cars, which is just really unfortunate. I think last summer we had about a dozen calls the whole summer, so to receive six calls in one day? That’s disheartening and that’s why we need this push to get the message out there,” he said.

Rockett said he hopes that signs

in the front of businesses will help remind people to go and get their dog and bring it in the business with them, or to leave the dog at home.

“The more the public is aware and the more we get the message out there, certainly the more beneficial it will be to the animals in our community,” Rockett added.

The Quinte Humane Society did a demonstration last week that attracted about 100 people.

The society displayed a chocolate dog in the dash of a car, a thermometer, and a block of ice in the vehicle.

“Within just over 10 minutes, that chocolate dog melted down to just a puddle, the thermometer got so hot — rated 50 degrees Celsius — it popped, and that block of ice lost five cups of water during the hour,” he said.

For a dog that can’t sweat, the experience of being left in a hot car would be traumatic, said Rockett.

“As little as a two-degree change in body temperature for a dog can start to cause brain damage and organ damage,” he said.

“Their bodies try to regulate

and keep their temperature normal but they don’t sweat, they can only pant; they suffer a lot more quickly and a lot more severely than a human would in the same circumstance.”

The second issue Rockett said he would like to address is walking dogs on pavement on a sunny day.

“If you’re walking on concrete or pavement, if it’s too hot for your bare feet then it’s also too hot for the pads of the feet on the dog.

We’ve seen numerous times where their pads are just bleeding and damaged and loss of skin layers from that happening,” said Rockett.

“Stick to the grass on a hot day.”

Visit nohotpets.ca to take the pledge and email nohotpets@ospca.on.ca to receive the digital sign.

“Hopefully, there’s a strong uptake in the campaign and we will see a decline in calls for assistance for dogs locked in cars.”

If you do see a dog locked in a vehicle between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Monday to Friday, call 613-3107722. Outside of those hours, call the local police force, said Rockett.

Miners’ Loop tour now more interactive with smart phone code update

BY SUE DICKENS

Marmora — The already popular self-guided Miners’ Loop tour in Marmora and Lake has just become more interactive.

Marmora and Lake economic development staff, in conjunction with local award-winning filmmakers Laura Forth and James A. Smith, performed the unveiling of the new tour during Canada 150 celebrations at the Marmora Tourist Information Centre.

The original Miners’ Loop tour took visitors on a combined walking/driving tour to four geological sites in and around the Village of Marmora.

The sites included the historic Millside Park, the Hastings Heritage Trail, the old Deloro Mine Site and Marmoraton Mine site on Highway 7.

Each site provided information about mining and geological history in the area.

With the emergence of smartphone technology, an upgrade to the tour was much needed.

Having worked on historical films about Marmora in the past, Deloro residents Smith and Forth were the perfect candidates to give the Miners’ Loop a facelift.

Stirling lowers speed limits on Springbrook Road and Potts Road

BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Launching the now interactive Miners’ Loop tour are: Jordan Cooper, James A. Smith, Laura Forth and Mayor Terry Clements.

Photo submitted

Each site is now equipped with an interactive Quick Response (QR code), which can be scanned using a smartphone or tablet to watch a short educational video they produced.

As well, the Deloro War Memorial is now included as part of the tour and is also equipped with QR Code technology.

Forth decided to have the obelisk built with a design created by her and her husband. It was the focus of an informal community service for Remembrance Day November, 2016.

At that time Forth explained, “We had a QR (Quick Response) code manufactured and put onto a stainless steel plate.”

People can scan the code which will take them to the film the couple produced which is online at: www.deloromemorial. wix.com/canadawarmemorial.

The project was made possible by funding from the Ministry of the Environment, which provided $10,000 to the municipality to complete a project related to the Deloro Mine cleanup.

Stirling - The speed limit on Springbrook Road, currently set at 80 kilometres per hour, will be reduced to 60 km/h at the request of Stirling-Rawdon’s public works superintendent, George Burkitt.

Council passed a bylaw on Monday, July 17, to enact the change after hearing Burkitt talk about how the road is being torn up by traffic.

“It’s usually travelled way too fast,” Burkitt said.

Ideally, the road would be resurfaced, but lowering the speed limit will help until that can be done.

“We have to buy some time,” he said.

Burkitt said the crumbling edge of the road is causing drivers to drive too close to the centre line, and there have been complaints of several near misses which could have become head-on collisions, but that is not the only problem.

“I’m more scared of the motorcycle traffic,” Burkitt said. He worries that a motorbike will catch the bad edge of the road surface and go right off the road.

While his biggest concern is the section west of Stirling-Marmora Road, Mayor Rodney Cooney

said the other side is getting bad, too.

“The east side’s been taking a beating,” the mayor said.

A notice about the location and change in speed limit will be posted on the township’s website.

The current 50 km/h through the hamlet of Springbrook will not be affected.

Council also approved a decision by the township’s Transportation Committee to reduce the speed limit on Potts Road, a short rural road off Hoards Road, to 50 km/h and to install a street light at the top of Tanner Drive in the village of Stirling.

As well, two new pumps are being purchased to be kept as spares for the Annis and George Street pumping stations, since there are no spares on hand for either one.

Residents were warned that work on the storm sewer replacement project on Stirling-Marmora Road begins Wednesday, July 19. The road will be closed on July 19 and 20 from Squire Road to Springbrook Road, and heavy trucks will have to use Springbrook Road east or west or Lake Road/Demorest Road until the work is completed.

The next meeting of council will be at 7 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 21.

Stirling police investigate break-in Stirling—The StirlingRawdon Police Service is seeking the public’s assistance regarding a break, enter and theft that occurred at the Springbrook Restaurant in the Township of Stirling-Rawdon.

The restaurant is located in Springbrook on Stirling-Marmora Road.

The event occurred at approximately 3 a.m. on Sunday, July 16. One person, thought to be a male of medium build and about 5’8” tall, entered the restaurant by prying open a ground-floor window lo-

cated on the west side of the building. The window would have been visible from the Stirling-Marmora Road.

The culprit stole packaged food, alcohol, soft drinks and cash. It is believed that the culprit left the restaurant in a vehicle that travelled north on Stirling-Marmora Road.

Anyone with information about this event is encouraged to call the Stirling-Rawdon Police Service at 613-395-0844 or Crime Stoppers at 613969-TIPS.

Youth camp a response to demand for summer program

BY BILL FREEMAN

Norwood — A demand for summer programming for seven to 12-year-olds has prompted a Norwood woman to step up and create a Thursday morning youth camp.

The free camp will run Thursday mornings (9 a.m. to noon) from July 20 to Aug. 24 at the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre’s Millennium Room. Donations are welcome and will be used to offset the cost of supplies and snacks.

The township’s on board and has waived the rental fee.

“We have a lot of people who are taking their children to Peterborough for those halfday programs,” says Coun. Bernadette Vanderhorst, who supported waiving the fee for the program designed by Prudence Jordan.

Vanderhorst says there’s a gap for seven to 12-year-olds; a popular camp run by Hucklebug Childcare targets preschool to sevenyear-olds.

Vanderhorst says her conversations with local families run counter to past survey results indicating there isn’t a demand for youth day summer programming.

“There is a demand. I am not making that up.”

“I wanted it to be something any kid could take part in,” says Jordan, a busy mom active in the local football, hockey and figure skating scene. “We have so many children that don’t get to take part in activities because

they either have to travel or it’s too expensive.”

“The other side of it is that our community, like many others, is shaped around sports.

There’s nothing wrong with sports, but not every child is interested in sports, so I wanted to incorporate a variety. We all need to do things to make ourselves feel good so the camps are just that, feel-good activities.”

“It’s just that little gap for that demographic we aren’t doing anything for,” adds Vanderhorst. “We’re missing out on doing something for children here. If our municipality wants to run a camp next year, then we need to get on board.”

In the 1980s and 90s, the Norwood Lions ran a youth program.

The camp will feature weekly themes and include an Aug. 30 learn to fish “Tackleshare” event at the Norwood Millpond.

Norwood — It’s been a whirlwind of planning, but Norwood Pride is set to go July 23 at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 300. The casual, community-led, all-ages event is being organized to support the LGBTQ community in AsphodelNorwood.

The event runs from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and will include a barbecue, cash bar and recorded music.

The gathering has come together quite quickly but is actually the fruit of a few years' worth of discussion about hosting a Pride event in the township, says Shane Hodge.

“We've actually been joking about having a Pride picnic for a few years. At the time, we imagined it would be a really small group of us just having a picnic down at the Lion's park with a single rainbow flag hanging from the gazebo,” said Hodge.

Support from within the community has made that a reality with the legion booked to host the afternoon event.

“We’ve had a lot of help with printing and distribution of posters (and) our Facebook page is getting a lot of positive attention,” says Hodge.

“Our main goal of this whole event is to bring out supportive members of our community and surrounding communities, both gay and straight, to show those who may be wrestling with their sexuality that there is a hopefully large and diverse network of allies surrounding them.”

They’ve invited groups like PFLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays), the Peterborough Aids Resource Network (PARN) and Peterborough Pride to join the celebration with their own information displays.

While the hope is to make it an annual event, Hodge says they will have to gauge the success of the inaugural Pride celebration before looking ahead.

'Ancient Spirit Rising' by Pegi Eyers wins 2017 Next Generation Indie Book Award

BY SUE DICKENS

Campellford — An Otonabee author who launched her first book at Kerr’s Corner Books has received a major recognition.

Launching her first book Ancient Spirit Rising at Kerr’s Corner Books earlier this year, author Pegi Eyers has received recognition as recipient of a 2017 Next Generation Indie Book Awards in the current events/social change category.

“This is thrilling,” she told the Trent Hills News.

Eyers received the award at a gala in New York City at the Harvard Club. The full title of her book is: Ancient Spirit Rising: Reclaiming Your Roots & Restoring Earth Community. The finished product is 420 pages with 40 pages of bibliography.

“It started at an elders’ conference at Trent University about eight years ago. I heard an elder say one short little statement. He said everyone needs to return to their own Indigenous knowledge. So this took me on a great exploration and a journey that took me three years of researching and writing," she said.

Her quest led her into the realm of what she calls “white privilege, which is an aspect of racism, why white people feel entitled to take on other identities.”

Her book, she explained, is a guide for readers. “It’s a wonderful reference book to all the different movements. There’s all kinds of different ways into earth’s spirituality, there’s reviving animism, eco-mysticism and more,” she

“The Celtic recovery movement, for example, is huge right now.”

Inspired by all the conferences she attended at Indigenous Studies Trent University, in her book she focuses on the First Nations/settler interface and contemporary social justice.

One time use only for drone in Trent Hills shopper was in a rush, for a very good reason Centre Hastings Park

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

BY SUE DICKENS

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 Co-ordinator 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 Planners 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 one-time 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.

Campbellford – It was the quickest and most expensive shopping trip Vicki MacMurray ever made in a grocery store, lasting just four minutes, with a bill at the end that added up to $451.31.

But it didn't cost the Allan Mills-area resident anything.

MacMurray won a shopping spree at Sharpe's Food Market and donated $207.85 of the groceries she gathered up to the UCW at Seymour United Church because “they help so many people that could use a helping hand.”

“I'm just fortunate I won this spree,” she said.

Mike Sharpe, the store's marketing manager, filmed MacMurray racing through the store tossing food in carts and then posted it on the store's Facebook page, www.facebook.com/sharpesfoodmarket.

The store's marketing manager also attached a GoPro camera to MacMurray that recorded “a first person view” of the action, which he put on Facebook as well.

“We used to do sprees years ago,” he said “We thought it would be a fun way to do a bit of a spin on an old contest” and make it “a bit more Parks, Recreation and Culture Coordina- exciting.”

MacMurray said before the spree her strategy was “to not make a mess in the store and grab things that aren't so perishable, nothing jarred, and just do my best.”

After, she said it had been “super fun. I enjoyed it.”

Vicki MacMurray won a shopping spree at Sharpe's Food Market, and marketing manager recorded it for posting on the store's Facebook page.

Another attempt at Church Avenue subdivision

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Trent Hills — Another attempt is being made to create a subdivision on Church Avenue in Campbellford.

Sunny Life Properties Inc., of Markham, has submitted a draft plan for 37 single-detached dwellings and 14 townhouse units on a 5.1 hectare parcel of land.

“This property has been brought before council in my 14 years several times (by) different property owners (with) different proposals,” Mayor Hector Macmillan said. “It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when.”

Three letters were submitted in opposition to the proposal.

Bob and Elizabeth Thomas, as well as Anthony and Jean Langford, expressed concerns about noise and traffic the subdivision would generate — especially during construction.

“The increased volume of traffic, especially heavy truck and machinery traffic during construction, would harm an already delicate road surface,” the Thomases wrote.

The Langfords also raised the issue of water run-off from the

site, saying residents at the lower end of Church Avenue already have to deal with drainage issues, and “they do not need additional sources of water to deal with.”

The proponent’s planning consultant, Darryl Tighe, acknowledged it’s “a challenging site from an engineering design perspective,” but said the matters brought forward by the residents are being addressed.

A traffic impact study carried out by Tranplan Associates concluded the existing road network has the capacity to handle traffic from the site, and that its impact on adjacent roads and intersections would be “acceptable.”

The subdivision will have two entrances, but the easternmost one will be for entering the property only — not exiting.

Tighe said his clients “are anxious to proceed,” having worked on the proposal for four years.

However, with the approvals phase still to be completed, which can be slowed by appeals, and “shifting economic conditions ... it remains to be seen” how quickly construction will begin.

Macmillan suggested it could

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

happen within two years, “if the current demand for new housing in Campbellford continues the way it is,” but Tighe said that would be “optimistic.”

Ted Knott, who lives on Church, said he was “quite in favour” of the development, but wanted to know if the water line on the street would be upgraded to where he lives, as it is old and “problematic.”

Mayor Hector Macmillan said it’s “probably a safe assumption” that the municipality would do that, as it knows there is a problem with “discoloured water.”

Knott also asked about extending sewers along the street, as did other residents, who inquired about sidewalks as well.

Macmillan said all the residents would get answers to their questions.

Council directed staff to prepare draft conditions for subdivision approval.

“It’s good to see this going forward. We need the housing,” and this subdivision “has been on the books for some time,” Coun.

Rosemary Kelleher-MacLennan said.

P.13 as amended, to remove the Holding (H) Zone symbol from lands described as Part Lots 25 and 26, Concession 3, Lots 6 and 6A and Part of Block G of Registered Plan 35, being Part 8 of Reference Plan 45R-4834 in the geographic Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen, Methuen Ward (Methuen Lake) as shown on the Key Map. The lands are currently zoned Special District 178 with a Holding “H” Symbol (S.D. 178-H).

The Holding (H) Zone symbol was placed on the property as per By-law No. 2017-029 dated March 20, 2017 in order to ensure the proposed septic system issues were addressed to the satisfaction of Peterborough Public Health.

The removal of the Holding (H) Zone symbol will permit the construction of a single-detached vacation dwelling and uses stipulated in By-law No. 1995-42, as amended, of the Township of Havelock-BelmontMethuen.

The necessary requirements pertaining to the Holding “H” Symbol have now been fulfilled and the Township is therefore in a position to remove the Holding “H” Symbol. Council of the Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen will consider this proposed Zoning By-law Amendment at the Regular Council meeting to be held on Tuesday, August 8, 2017 at 9:30 a.m. in the Council Chamber at the Municipal Office, 1 Ottawa Street East, Havelock.

Additional information relating to the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is available for inspection between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. at the Building and Planning Department in the Municipal Office located at 1 Ottawa Street East, Havelock, Ontario.

16 Central Hastings Trent Hills News - Thursday, July 20, 2017

Trent Hills — Work will begin later this month on a new underground storage tank and pumping station at the Campbellford water treatment plant — but the $5.9-million project is going to cost the municipality $1.1 million more than it had planned to spend.

That could mean a 7.4-per cent increase in water rates next year.

And the reason for the higher costs, Mayor Hector Macmillan charged, is because a local resident filed a “vexatious” Part II Order for an individual environmental assessment to be done after a class environmental assessment had been completed.

“It's just so unfair that someone could do that out of spite and cost all the users of the system all this money,” he said at a special meeting of council July 13 to award the tender for the contract.

“There should be an opportunity for municipalities to hold people accountable if a Part II Order can be deemed frivolous.”

Informed of the mayor's comments, Alan Appleby said he had “valid concerns” about the project's necessity and estimated cost and believes alternative solutions should have been explored more

thoroughly.

“I didn't do it out of spite,” he said. “I wasn't trying to be malicious in any way.”

The minister of the environment and climate change turned down his request in late 2015.

Manager of infrastructure renewal and public works administration Scott White said in a report to council the “significant delay ... adversely affected” costs because the design work didn't get done until 2016 and tenders weren't called until this year.

The original estimate was in 2014, “when the Canadian dollar was much stronger.”

The loonie was almost on par with the American dollar then, but it has since declined in value, and much of the mechanical and electrical equipment needed for the project comes from the United States.

White also noted in his report that during the design of the underground storage tank last year, it was determined a caisson wall will be needed to support the core wall “and mitigate flooding of the excavation” site.

“The cost for shoring is approximately $250,000 and (was) not included in the original application” for funding, he stated.

The federal and provincial

governments agreed to fund twothirds of the cost, at $1.6 million apiece, and Trent Hills was to pay for the other third. But with the cost having gone up, the municipality is now looking at having to fund $2.7 million.

“It will affect water rates,” chief administrative officer Lynn Phillips said.

They're scheduled to rise two per cent next year, but another 5.4 per cent will have to be added to make up the shortfall in funding through borrowing.

“It's too much, we need to mitigate it somehow,” Phillips said.

Deputy Mayor Bob Crate agreed, saying such an increase “isn't tenable.”

Staff inquired about getting more money from the province and “explained the dilemma we're facing” but were told “the funding envelope is closed,” director of finance Valerie Nesbitt said.

Another option is to redirect $983,000 the municipality has earmarked for Doxsee Avenue and push that project back another year.

Macmillan suggested notifying Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi of the municipality's predicament in hopes he can help out the municipality.

Business park potential site for public works

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Trent Hills – The municipality is exploring the possibility of relocating its two public works depots in Campbellford to the town's business park, and moving the heliport nearby to the same area as well.

Mayor Hector Macmillan said the consulting firm hired to complete a class environmental as-

sessment to find a suitable location for the two depots “had written off” that part of the park still available for development because it contained a former landfill.

“I dug my heels in,” he said, and spoke to the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change and was told “it may not be of concern,” because there is “ample” room for “a building envelope that is not on the landfill area.”

“It would be a matter of just making sure there's appropriate top cover and gravel without asphalt,” he said.

The ministry is “absolutely willing” to look at the proposal and invited the municipality “to go through the application process to make that happen.”

The consulting firm will need to do more research, Macmillan said, because the suggested site in the business park “is absolutely no use for anything else.”

But it is “the perfect location” for the two depots to become one to achieve certain “efficiencies.”

The depot behind the arena will need to be relocated eventually to make way for a recreation wellness centre at the fairgrounds Scott White, general manager of infrastructure renewal and public works administration, said the target area behind Campbellford Farm Supply, is “about the size of a football field.”

Macmillan said the heliport situated elsewhere in the park should be moved as well to where the depots could go.

“It doesn't make a lot of sense to have a good piece of serviced land being used as a heliport,” he said.

Hospice Norwood finally gets charity status

BY BILL FREEMAN

Norwood — Hospice Norwood is officially a registered charity.

After a lengthy wait while the application process unfolded, the organization has received its number from the Canada Revenue Agency and can begin to issue tax receipts for donations over $20.

“We are thrilled that we can start a major fundraising campaign,” Hospice Norwood director Laurie Inglis said. “We are very excited.”

Hospice Norwood plans to open a two-bed rural hospice facility in Norwood with the goal of opening its doors in September 2018 in a repurposed century home on Peterborough Street in the village.

The committee’s capital fundraising goal is $500,000 and having a charitable registration number will allow them to really launch into that, says Inglis.

“We have some work to do before we can start any major work on the house,” says Inglis. “Zoning needs to be addressed, drawings

are being finalized and the house has to be transferred to our name.”

Inglis says they expect to be able to start the demolition of the home’s summer kitchen soon.

“But we want to have a general contractor organize the new build and renovations,” she added.

Several community members have volunteered to help with the renovation project.

Hospice Norwood will focus attention on its major fundraising campaign; they’ve already held several small fundraisers, like the recent Hike for Hospice which raised $4,615 and a Timbertrails Western Riders barrel race competition which realized $2,380. There are two more Hot Rods for Hospice classic car shows at the community centre, July 21 and Aug. 18.

With charitable registration Hospice Norwood is now in a position to apply for grants that that require charitable status.

Hospice Norwood will hold its next public meeting Sept. 11 (7 p.m.) at the Norwood Legion to discuss the next steps in the project.

Uplifting news for Campbellford seniors

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford — Seniors here have been feeling a bit low for a while, and now Trent Hills council is prepared to do something about it.

Council is going to spend up to $35,000 to raise the floor at the Forrest Dennis Senior Citizens Centre on Grand Road. It has been gradually sinking over the past seven years — as much as three inches in spots. The most affected areas are the kitchen and parts of the main room.

There's also been some cosmetic damage as the floor has dropped below the level of the trim at the walls and at the base of the kitchen cabinets.

Two test holes were drilled into the floor slab to determine the cause and the results indicated the underlying material “may not have been compacted fully at the time of the construction and has settled into a more compact state”, director of planning Jim Peters said in a report.

Council approved the hiring of Liftec Slabjacking Inc., which proposes to lift the floor back into place by pumping in grout or polyurethane foam, or a

combination of the two.

The Campbellford Senior Citizens Club has been notified that the repairs could take up to five days.

No date was set for the work.

Peters said Liftec has other projects in the area and hopes to complete the one at Campbellford “as soon as possible while in Northumberland County”.

Canada 150 flotilla dazzles along the Trent

BY BILL FREEMAN

Trent Hills - It was a nostalgic scene right out of Ontario’s summertime history book, as dozens of boats floated down the Trent on Saturday.

The flotilla featured an array of lovingly restored classic and antique wooden boats, as well as some disappearing propeller craft, which all made a gracious and timeless marine trek from Campbellford to Hastings.

The July 15 Canada 150 Flotilla conjured up memories of a slower-paced time when Ontario’s lakes and rivers were dotted with Shepherds, Greavettes, Chris-Crafts and the marvellous watercrafts built by the Peterborough Boat Co. It was a celebration of both the area’s boating legacy and Canada’s sesquicentennial, with more than 30 classic boats making the journey from Campbellford’s Old Mill Park to the Hastings Village Marina.

Many of the watercraft belonged to members of the Trent Severn Antique and Classic Boat Association.

The day began with a pancake breakfast hosted by the Rotary Club of Campbellford, with plenty of shoreline activities in

Campbellford and Hastings to entertain visitors of all ages, including an appearance by the popular Parks Canada’s mascot, Parka.

In Campbellford, there were standup paddle demonstrations and displays by the Campbellford and District Curling and Racquet Club.

Centre Hastings reviewing Hastings County official plan draft

BY SUE DICKENS

Madoc – Centre Hastings municipal council has been reviewing the draft official plan for Hastings County, something all municipalities are currently working on.

Mayor Tom Deline and his council have met a couple of times to discuss the changes. The planning and development committee of Hastings County has directed staff to arrange meetings with each member municipality to review the draft official plan as part of the public consultation process.

“Since this process started at the county level a number of years ago, there have been many changes, usually at the provincial level, such as provincial policy statements for the county to incorporate,” Deline said.

“Locally Centre Hastings is concerned about how the new plan will affect our municipality and where the decision-making powers are going to be controlled by,” he added.

“Our urban centre will now be classed as a ‘secondary plan’ within the county official plan,” he noted.

Deline pointed out that as well “our local zoning bylaw needs to be updated (2002) and we are waiting for the county to complete the official plan first.”

Some of Centre Hastings’ concerns which will be brought forward include language clarification about mobile and modular home parks, wrecking yards and bulk fuel storage, mapping fish habitat and more.

Centre Hastings council was scheduled to meet with Hastings County planners on July 18.

Belmont Women’s Institute hands out three life memberships BILL FREEMAN

Havelock – The Old Stone Hall in Belmont Township has seen a lot of history, much of it to do with the Belmont Women’s Institute.

The heritage-rich, 117-year-old local organization honoured three stalwart members during a recent Canada 150-inspired celebration. The W.I. presented life memberships to Lorraine Hart (60 years), Carol Preston (32 years), and current president Donna Kent (26 years).

The Belmont W.I. earned praise itself from the Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen,

with Mayor Ron Gerow lauding its “long and loyal history in our community”.

The Women’s Institute, Gerow said, played an “integral role in Canada’s growth and its history. They are very dedicated to what they do.”

The Old Stone Hall east of Havelock on Highway 7 was built in 1855 for $800 and is no mere monument but an active meeting place that binds past with present.

“We’re always here to help in the community if ever they need us,” says Kent, who followed her mother and grandmother into the organization. “I kind of volunteered a lot when I was

younger and would come to meetings,” she recalled.

As she got older, she became a 4-H leader through the W.I.; joining the organization was a natural evolution.

“It’s great what you can do in the community; what you can accomplish. That one person makes a difference.”

“It’s been a wonderful journey,” says newcomer Sue Cushing, who represents the Kingston and Trent Valley areas on the provincial board.

“A lot of our members are working to pro-

vide for others,” says Cushing.

There are 8,000 members in Canada but nine million worldwide with status at the United Nations, she says.

“It’s the little seed that grew.”

One of the provincial federation’s big projects is digitizing its vast store of historical records.

The W.I. is a diligent keeper of local history and its Tweedsmuir Records, which local groups keep, are invaluable.

“The W.I. doesn’t look for pats on the back or accolades, we just want to do and help out,” says Cushing.

Health Unit marks food handler program milestone

BY BILL FREEMAN

Fire Hydrant Flushing Notice Please be advised that hydrant flushing will take place over a two week period. Beginning Monday July 24th 2017 hydrants will be flushed west of Emma St. Starting Monday July 31th hydrants will be flushed east of Emma St. The routine maintenance program is necessary to maintain the integrity of the water system, remove sediment from water mains, verify the proper operation of hydrants, valves, and maintain firefighting capability.

Residents throughout Town may experience a drop in water pressure and water may be rusty or cloudy due to flushing of the distribution system. If you have rust- coloured water please run your cold water taps only (suggested taps: outside hose, bathtub or laundry tub) for a few minutes until the water is clear.

Please do not use your hot water until you have clean running water again. Refrain from doing laundry especially whites when hydrant flushing is being conducted in your area.

We appreciate your patience during this period and hope that we limit any inconveniences.

Peterborough – It was a milestone worth remembering as Peterborough Public Health celebrated the 20,000 food handler certificates it has issued over the past two decades.

The health unit marked the occasion during a recent training session for area students.

“Today’s group of 25 students helps us reach 20,000 certified safe food handlers since 1997 who have taken their skills out into the community to keep us all safe from food-borne illnesses,” said Atul Jain, manager of environmental health programs at the health unit.

“This event recognizes the role we all play in protecting public health, especially since the knowledge gained by these students is used both in their homes as well as in their workplaces,” Jain added.

Since 1997, Peterborough Public Health has run 994 food handler courses across the county and city. The courses are free for local residents.

Public health inspectors train food handlers in the city,

county and Curve Lake and Hiawatha First Nations to ensure that all restaurants, long-term care homes, supermarkets, butcher shops, chip trucks and other food premises are preparing foods safely and according to public health standards.

The certification course teaches participants how to identify food-borne illness and food safety hazards, safe food handling processes and correct cleaning and sanitizing techniques.

A food handler certification bylaw came into effect in both the county and city on Jan. 1, 2015 requiring all high and moderate risk food premises to have at least one certified food handler working in a supervisory capacity onsite at all times.

High-risk premises handle food with multiple preparation steps and/or serve people at greatest risks for foodborne illnesses such as nursing homes, hospitals and some restaurants. Moderate-risk food premises include fast-food establishments, chip trucks and bakeries that have fewer preparation steps and generally serve healthier populations.

Campbellford's fire station, built in 1878 and added to in 1985, is no longer big enough to accommodate today's firefighting equipment and operational needs.

John Campbell/ Metroland

Trent Hills, county making plans for emergency services base

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Trent Hills – The new fire station being planned for Campbellford will accommodate both firefighters and paramedics, and become the third emergency services base in Northumberland County.

That’s more than what the municipality originally looked to build. The initial plan put forward in 2015 was to replace Campbellford’s aging fire hall with a new facility that included council chambers and meeting rooms.

But, that changed when the county said it was interested in having paramedics working out of Campbellford move into a new building with the fire department.

It’s the same sort of arrangement Northumberland has made with Cramahe and AlnwickHaldimand townships for emergency services bases in Colborne (built last winter) and Roseneath (bids on a design and build closed last month).

“It’s a pretty good partnership,” fire Chief Tim Blake said, after council directed staff at its July 4 meeting to work with the county and finalize a building layout and site plan, draft an agreement for joint ownership and operation, and prepare a financing plan.

The estimated cost of the shared facility at the corner of Doxsee Avenue and River Street is $6,725,723, with Trent Hills’ share projected at $5.6 million.

That’s less than the $6.7 million estimated five years ago, when the Strategic Master Fire Plan recommended a two-storey fire station be built to replace the one on Saskatoon Avenue,

erected in 1878 and added to in 1985.

Space at the fire hall has become limited and it’s in need of major repairs; its “structural issues ... could become a safety issue in the future,” chief administrative officer Lynn Phillips said in a report to council.

The new fire station will have two additional bays, for a total of 10, and “we’re really putting a lot of emphasis on storage,” Blake said.

“Right now, we’ve got files all over the place.”

The facility will also include the municipality’s Emergency Operations Centre, and council chambers and the training room will be “all one,” he said.

Work on a conceptual design began a year ago, after he raised the possibility of the county getting involved in discussions with its emergency medical services department.

“We’re planning for 50 years here,” Blake said.

“Looking at the various options available, this seemed to be the best one, and it’s great there’s a partner on board, potentially, if all goes well with county council,” Phillips said.

She added having Northumberland as a partner will mean “operational savings as we move forward, because they will be paying for a portion of the upkeep of the building.”

The paramedics, who currently work out of Campbellford Memorial Hospital, will have three bays instead of two, as well as a supervisor office, lounge and medical storage area.

There will also be a gym for the paramedics and firefighters to use.

“We’re hoping to be in by the end of 2018 or early 2019,” Blake said.

Ministry announces repair, upgrade funds for 3 hospitals

BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford – Lou Rinaldi, MPP for Northumberland-Quinte West, was at Campbellford Memorial Hospital to announce funding for repairs and upgrades at three area hospitals.

In Campbellford, the hospital will receive $169,814 this year to revitalize its facilities.

Northumberland Hills Hospital will receive $16,895, and Quinte Healthcare Corporation will receive $491,598.

“The good news for this hospital is that it’s receiving $169,814 worth of infrastructure equipment for projects that people don’t see,” said the hospital's new interim president and CEO Varouj Eskedjian to the crowd of staff, physicians, Central East LHIN representa- (From left) David Pollock, Bonnie St. George, tives, and media on July 13. He is in week six MPP Lou Rinaldi and Varouj Eskedjian. of his new role.

“People don’t see some of the heating and ventilation improvements we are going to make to our in-patient unit on the first floor. But, at the end of the day, our staff and our patients feel it,” he added.

Eskedjian noted: “This will enable the hospital to provide the best environment for staff to work in and for patients to come in and get good, safe, quality care in the best facilities, recognizing that facilities age and they need investment to ensure they are constantly renewed until such time as they can no longer support good care being provided.”

Rinaldi addressed the crowd and said: “These crucial investments in hospital infrastructure ensure patients are cared for in a safe and secure environment. Hospitals are the cornerstone of many of our communities so it's important that we make these crucial investments to upgrade our facilities to help provide the highest quality of care possible across this riding and the province.”

Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan was on hand for the announcement and commented: “I understand where we’re going with the direction of the new hospital and we’re going to continue that path, but I liken this to the car; until we can afford a new car, we’ve got to keep the existing one on the road and that’s important.”

He added: “It’s a big investment to air handling and HVAC on the first floor. Those are critical things for staff and patients.”

Artist brings streamers to life in Hastings

BY BILL FREEMAN

Hastings - Retired Sheridan College professor Skye Morrison is bringing people together through crafts.

The Hastings artist is marking her 21st year leading craft workshops at various libraries across the region and makes sure the adults who tag along with their children immerse themselves in craft-making.

She recently hosted an event at the Hastings Library during the summer reading club kickoff, where she invited families to create streamers and Canada 150 lanterns.

“In terms of making stuff (together), we just don’t do it,” she says.

Food, she thinks, might be the only area where groups of people come together to create something in a collective way so the library workshops have become an easy way to make sure adults, children, and their friends unite in a common effort.

“This is for kids of all ages, which is really my motto in things like this.”

The streamers are something Morrison start-

ed making at Lang Village “because it was a traditional 19th-century craft”.

Instead of using cloth, she used colourfullymottled paper.

“It was a huge success,” she said. She made them for Warkworth at Night and Westben’s Canada 150 celebration and will make them at an upcoming Probus picnic.

“I’m going to call this the year of the streamer,” Morrison joked. “It’s something that everybody can play with and it’s very easy and colourful.”

They also fit in with the whole Canada 150 theme as a traditional pioneer craft, she adds.

“They would be used at a maypole or wedding. These are the things they’d use them for.”

Morrison says hosting craft workshops in small towns is important because there might not be very many opportunities to participate in the arts, particularly the visual arts.

“Kids love them, so do the parents. One of the things I’ve done is make sure parents get involved. I’m interested in it being family-oriented and not just for kids. Making it is very quick, so there is immediate satisfaction.”

Heart and Stroke Foundation gets boost

BY BILL FREEMAN

Norwood - Hoops for Heart returned to Norwood District High School (NDHS), and the Heart and Stroke Foundation is the big winner.

After a hiatus, the three-on-three tournament made a slam dunk comeback last month and raised $869 for the foundation’s local office.

The event had been set aside so the school could focus on Cops for Cancer and Pedal for Hope initiatives, but organizer Todd Murray thought it was time to bring back the popular basketball tournament.

“We raised a good amount of money for Heart and Stroke, and the kids had a good afternoon playing basketball,” Murray said.

The tournament was split into competitive and fun divisions, and took place indoors because of the weather. In the past, the school has also used its outdoor courts.

“If it’s nice next year, we’ll definitely do it outside,” Murray added.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation was thrilled by the NDHS effort.

“We can’t do what we do without the support of the community,” said

“One of the great things about this is that it is combining our core values: physical education, healthy lifestyle and healthy living, to prevent heart disease and stroke, and educating our young people and raising important funds for research.”

Youth are at risk of developing

heart disease, even if they don’t think they are, Armour said, pointing to things like increased sodium intake, obesity, inactivity and diabetes.

“Our youth are at risk for not outliving this generation,” she said.

“We’re really trying to work through our youth and let them help educate the adult population as well.”

Much of that hinges on prevention, Armour adds.

Medigas/Meagher Classic tops $3 million over 30-year run

BY STEPHEN PETRICK, CHRIS MALETTE

Belleville – Andrew Shaw hasn’t forgotten where he came from.

The Montreal Canadiens centreman, and two-time Stanley Cup winner, has come back to his hometown of Belleville for seven straight summers now to participate in the Medigas Celebrity Classic golf tournament.

The tournament, which celebrated its 30th and final year, was once led by Rick Meagher, a Belleville-born NHLer of another generation. This year, the tournament wrapped up after topping a total $3 million mark over its three decades.

Meagher is still involved and has encouraged a new crop of Belleville NHLers to participate, and carry on the tradition of raising funds for special city projects, particularly related to children.

Shaw says he’s happy to come out and swing the sticks, knowing the funds raised in the past have led to great parks. The Rick Meagher/Medigas Rotary Play Park at Riverside Park (otherwise known as “the pirate ship park”) and a similar park at West Zwick’s, made to accommodate children with mobile disabilities, are products of tournament funds.

While the focus remained on helping local children when Medigas took over the tournament 10 years ago, it also introduced the “Driving Dreams for our Youth Scholarship” program. It’s a $5,000 scholarship to assist seven senior students from local secondary schools who are graduating in their fourth year of high school and entering an accredited college or university in a health science field of study.

“You see all the parks and the beautiful things they’ve done for the city,” said Shaw, from Shoeless Joe’s Restaurant on July 11, where the first of a week’s worth of fundraisers linked to the tournament were taking place.

Shaw said, as a Belleville-raised NHL player, he feels an obligation to come back and contribute to the community that helped him reach hockey’s highest level.

“We all grew up playing hockey here, the community always supported us; made sure we had ice time and places to train,” he said.

“Belleville’s a tight-nit group,” he later added. “We’ve always taken care of our own.”

Shaw will be one of several sports celebrities on the links at Trillium Woods Golf Club on Saturday, July 15. Fellow Belleville-born NHLers Brad Richardson and Shawn Antoski are also contributing to the tournament and were at Shoeless Joe’s on Tuesday, along with Meagher himself.

During the evening, a fairly informal affair, restaurant guests could participate in a silent auction with sports memorabilia up for grabs. Ten per cent of restaurant food sales were also to go to the fundraising pot.

The tournament will also have a “closed” Friday night fundraising event at Capers restaurant, too.

Randy McFarland, the Medigas executive who now organizes the tournament, said organizers were aiming for the three events leading to the tournament to raise $200,000, a number that would be about twice as high as normal.

Actually, he clarified, had been really hoping the events will bring in $300,000.

(It did and the tournament indeed topped the $300,000 mark for the day and $3 million overall). The benchmark number was meaningful given that the tournament was in its final year – at least in its current form.

Medigas has carried on the tradition for several years, he explained, but he feels it’s time for a new, fresh group of people

There will always be a need for funds for special city projects through. The Medigas tournament has recently raised funds for a play structure at Belleville General Hospital and McFarland said he hopes the next batch of funds will help with a yet-to-bedetermined City of Belleville project.

Over the years, the tournament, in all of its forms, has raised funds for: Belleville Dialysis, BGH Childrens Treatment Centre; Belleville Rotary Club Special Children’s Fund; Belleville YMCA challenger

baseball and Special Needs Camp; Easter Seals; Juvenile Arthritis and Diabetes; KGH Pediatric ICU; Kingston Regional Cancer Centre pediatric oncology unit; the M.S. Society; and Quinte Access, which provides transportation for physically challenged individuals.

Last year, proceeds from the Medigas Classic provided $50,000 for a fully accessible playground development and expansion at West Zwicks Park.

McFarland said he’s optimistic that the tournament will continue in some way,

because it’s always received great support from Belleville’s NHL community.

He commented on how grateful he is to have people like Shaw, Richardson and Antoski supporting the tournament.

“They’re homegrown Belleville guys and they want to give back to their community,” he said.

He’s also grateful for Meagher, who got the tournament started in the 1980s when he was playing with the St. Louis Blues.

“He handed the torch to us and we ran with it,” McFarland said.

Funding available for shoreline damage It’s been a strange season of unusually high water levels for those living along the Bay of Quinte and it’s led to damage along many shoreline properties.

However, the Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan may be able to help property owners dealing with damage.

Through the Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan’s (BQRAP) stewardship programs, landowners can access a number of funding categories and receive technical support to help restore their shorelines and make them more resilient to extreme weather events.

“This year, extreme weather caused unprecedented high water levels damaging many shoreline properties,” the BQRAP said in a statement. “ As water levels start to recede landowners are beginning to realize the extent of the damage. Many shorelines have experienced severe erosion issues, as shorelines have been washed away.

This not only creates aesthetics issues and impacts property values, but also washes sediment, debris, and nutrients into the Bay of Quinte and local waterways, causing water quality issues, the BQRAP says.

There is a selection of funding categories designed to help improve the resilience of shorelines, like shoreline plantings. One of the contributing factors to shoreline erosion is having an expanse of lawn that is mowed to the water’s edge. Since, grass doesn’t have deep stabilizing

roots, it allows soil to be easily washed away.

Adding native vegetation like trees and shrubs, with deep root systems, will help prevent erosion to a shoreline, and filter sediment and nutrient runoff, improving water quality.

Other categories like shoreline naturalization, help with structural issues providing options like bioengineering. Bioengineering incorporates plants in combination with natural materials such as logs, live stakes, and brush bundles, creating a natural appearance and habitat for fish and wildlife.

Another category is water quality improvements, which encompasses a wide variety of projects to stabilize shorelines and provide habitat.

“Natural shorelines can better withstand the effects of extreme weather events and protect water quality in the Bay of Quinte,” BQRAP says. “Today, the Bay of Quinte is a healthy and vibrant ecosystem. Taking a natural approach to restoring a shoreline will help keep it that way.

To find out more about these funding programs, project criteria, and available funding limits visit www.bqrap.ca Remember, always check with your local conservation authority about permits before undertaking any shoreline work.

The Remedial Action Plan works to clean up the bay, in partnership with Quinte Conservation and Lower Trent Conservation.

When the Rick Meagher Celebrity Classic began 30 years ago, the aim was to provide funds that would assist those with physical and developmental challenges to enjoy life at playgrounds and with programs.

That tradition continued Saturday July 15 with the 30th and final edition of the Medigas Celebraity Classic as sports celebrities gathered (above) with children from the region’s assisted living homes turned out to be with their heroes for the morning.

Leafs great Darryl Sittler, above right, joined auctioneer and Medigas organizer Boyd Sullivan at the fundraising auction at Trillium Woods Golf Course Saturday to help boost sales of collectibles, including an autographed Sittler jersey that sold for more than $2,000.

Right, Belleville’s own Andrew Shaw posed with fans before the tee-off off the Medigas Classic. The Habs centreman was a crowd favourite at various functions surrounding the tournament all weekend.

TRAVEL

Have you ever encountered a tornado on vacation?

BY JOHN M. SMITH

Just last month, I was in Gering, Nebraska with a group of travel writers. We were exploring western Nebraska in the hopes of discovering material for future travel pieces and, of course, much was found, for it’s a fascinating part of the country – and I’ll be sharing some of these intriguing findings in future travel pieces.

However, today I plan to talk about my tornado encounter, for this was a new experience for me!

I had just checked in to my accommodations at Gering’s Monument Inn & Suites when I received a phone call from the front desk, telling me that there was a TORNADO ALERT for the area. If I heard sirens, I was to immediately go to the lobby, for I would then be escorted to a shelter! Well, this certainly got my attention, for I had never experienced a tornado so ‘up close and personal’, and I was told that it wasn’t just one sighting, but several (actually, 22 tornado strikes were reported to hit in the area that day!).

A few moments later, I received a second phone call, and I was told to immediately come down to the lobby, for our entire group was about to be taken to an underground shelter for safety. Well, that was a rather unique way to meet the other travel writers who were assembled here from all over the U.S. and Canada (16 of us)! We soon found ourselves all sitting in a basement boardroom, right next to Gering’s Emergency Management Headquarters, and we wondered what was happening outside. We didn’t actually even hear the fierce winds or see the intense hail and rain, for we were tucked away in our protective cocoon. We simply chitchatted, drank coffee, and ate cookies while the storm raged on. We felt quite safe down there, and when we emerged about 2 hours later, the storm had passed, the hail had

The 911 calls pour into the Emergency Management Headquarters after the severe storm.

disappeared, and all that remained for us to see were the large puddles that had been left behind by the torrential rains – and some eerie signs of wind damage.

Before we left our basement sanctuary, though, we had gone into the actual Emergency Management Headquarters, where we were witness to many 911 calls. Area residents were frantically phoning and complaining about fallen trees, flooding, hail damage, and power outages, so the place was busy! After all, a tornado had

just hit in the vicinity!

When we emerged, we could hear police and fire sirens, and there was quite a bustle of activity in the area, but I never felt that I had been in any real danger. This simply confirmed for me the importance of seeking proper shelter in such an emergency situation. Therefore, if you’re inside during a tornado warning, it’s best to go to the lowest level of your building, and get away from windows and doorways. If you’re outside, get inside! This includes leaving a

mobile home for a safer shelter. If you’re driving in a car, drive away from the tornado if you can, or stop by the side of the road and keep it running (so that the air bags will work and help to protect you somewhat upon impact). If there’s a deep ditch nearby, some recommend leaving the car and hunkering down as low as possible in the ditch (but get far enough away from the car that it won’t be blown onto you!).

Avoid seeking shelter under a roof or bridge that could collapse and crush you!

The very next day, we learned that a tornado had hit Bayard, a community located about 35 km. from Gering. It had ripped a roof off a nursing home but, miraculously, no one was injured. The residents were evacuated and cared for at a local high school (where many volunteers helped out). There were also reports of damaged homes and farms, overturned tractor trailers, and even a derailed train.

Our group visited a nearby B&B, Barn Anew (www.barnanew.com) the day after the tornadoes, and here we learned that their guests had been taken to their own shelter during that storm: their nicely decorated root cellar. After all, some guests were camped out in a very unique sheep herder’s wagon that’s situated on this property, and that wouldn’t be an ideal locale during a tornado! As guests descended the steps, they read the following inscription: “When the big wind blows you’ll want to go to our safe place down below.”

The weather was fine for the rest of our trip, and we visited such fascinating destinations as Nebraska’s Sandhills, Scotts Bluff National Monument, Chimney Rock National Historic Site, Fort Robinson State Park, Toadstool Geologic Park, and Carhenge. These are all visit-worthy, so don’t let my talk of tornadoes prevent you from going. After all, many states are said to be in “tornado alley”, and it’s just a matter of showing some common sense and caution during such warnings/storms.

In fact, next month will be a particularly busy time for tourism in western Nebraska, for it will be one of the very best places to experience the full solar eclipse that will take place on August 21. Yes, another natural phenomenon!

Milestone of generosity for 100+ Men Who Care Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a $100,000-plus milestone for a group that has spawned a generous trend of charitable sponsorship throughout the region.

100+ Men Who Care Quinte, the original 100 Who Care-style fundraising group in the region, selected San Damiano Foundation, headquartered in Madoc, as the recipient of its tenth $10,000 donation. It brings total donations wel over $100,000 with no signs of stopping, say organizers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are so grateful for this donation to support our work,â&#x20AC;? said Colleen MacAllister. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a completely volunteer run organization and these funds will go directly to services. Our services have touched tens of thousands of people.

Our youth centre in Madoc sees between 30 and 50 students coming every day for a hot meal, cool music and mentorship. We also run youth centres in Tweed and Trenton and we have two retreat cabins and a transitional residence for women in Marmora.â&#x20AC;?

Now in its 21st year, San Damiano Foundation opened its first Foundations Youth Centre in Madoc in 1996. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a man who cares, I have learned a lot about charities doing fantastic work in our community, but I was thrilled to nominate San Damiano Foundation because I know they have been quietly touching many lives, especially youth, without the level of recognition many larger charities receive,â&#x20AC;? said 100+ Men Who Care Quinte member Gary Buffett.

Now married with children of her own, Kelly Oribine says she is so grateful Foundations was there when she needed it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was 14, I was spinning out of control and the volunteers showed me love and grace when I needed it most and deserved it the least,â&#x20AC;? says Oribine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the time I had no idea how much those volunteers were going to change my life, but they did. It was there that I first felt loved and treasured.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;100+ Men Who Care Quinte is a non-organizationâ&#x20AC;? said Ian Press, one of the founding members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is informal, unregistered and it has no board, no chair, no treasurer, no bank

account, no revenue and no expenditures. It is based on the concept of simplicity - minimum input and maximum impact. Each member commits to donating $100 per meeting, four times per year. Meetings are diligently conducted in one hour or less. In that time we generate approximately $10,000 for a local charity.

A donation of this size can have a huge impact on organizations such as San Damiano Foun-

dation.â&#x20AC;?

Each meetingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nominated charities are submitted by members. Nominated charities must meet certain eligibility requirements and must serve the Quinte Region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are really pleased to support a charity headquartered in Madoc to show our support for the broader Quinte Region,â&#x20AC;? said Ken Manderville, a founding member. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was unaware of this charity before it was

brought forward as a nomination and the number of people impacted by the work or these volunteers is astounding.â&#x20AC;?

The Good Earth Consanguinity and the puzzlement of creeping ground cover

By Dan Clost Gentle Reader, shared credit for this title is given to the television show ‘Jeopardy’ and to Kate Kupecz; both are equally responsible.

This past week, youngest daughter and I were engaged in our evening contest - each trying to be the first

to answer Alex Trebek’s questions - when one of the show’s participants responded ahead of us. The correct answer was “consanguinity.”

The next evening, I had the pleasure of sharing a table with Kate during the Quinte West’s Chamber of Commerce’s Bay of Quinte Boat Cruise. We are both members and adherents to Board of Director’s members (Betty and Tom) of the Our TMH organization. During our conversation, we talked a bit about The Good Earth column and I allowed as how I enjoyed a peculiar unfacility with grammar. Kate did not disagree.

Somehow, the Jeopardy episode came up, with reference to consanguinity, and Kate suggested a similarly titled gardening column.

Instead of a genealogy based on blood-related ancestors, the plants would be lexically related by the word “blood.” So here are four for starters; feel free to expand as you will.

Dr. Suresh Appan & Associates

Dragon’s Blood stonecrop, Sedum spurium ‘Dragon’s Blood’ is a popular ground covering succulent commonly used in rock gardens, xeriscapes and containers.

It is named for the colour of the flowers. Hardy to Canadian Zone 4b, I first came across it when our next door neighbour of the day, Marion, gave me a handful of what we came to call “Marion’s Creepy-Crawling Stuff.” About a decade later, I saw the identical plant being offered for sale at the nursery. Dragon’s Blood is wellbehaved; the caution is that it is a ground cover. When you purchase a ground cover plant, GR, don’t expect it to stop at the edges of your flower bed unless you have good edging in place.

Bloodroot, Sanguinaria canadensis is a native spring-flowering plant, common in our area in woody places, flood plains and stream sides. They’re not fond of disturbed soil so, once planted; try to leave that area along. The chal-

lenge is they are short term bloomers so succession of bloom should be planned prior to using Bloodroot in the garden design.

Blood Grass, Imperata cylindrica ‘Rubra’ is a popular ornamental grass. Japanese Blood Grass, aka ‘Red Baron’ sports blades shaped similarly to quack grass with the adornment of freshly-spilled blood colouring- the colder the climate the more pronounced the colour. There is some concern, especially in Canadian Hardiness Zones of 6b and above, about invasiveness. All forms of this grass can be found in the U.S. Federal List of Noxious Weeds. Approximately 12 States have banned its sale; interestingly, New York seems to be a titch confused. ‘Rubra’ may be grown and sold there.

It may be exported to other states if those other states agree to its importation. However, it may not be imported into New York State because of its potential invasiveness.

Nice to know that administrations

everywhere can dance on the head of pin with their eyes wide shut. To my knowledge, it is yet to be shown as an aggressive plant in Canada; but, I believe within a decade or so it will be. Best advice is to grow this ornamental in containers. Mind you, you can pop those containers into the ground as long as their tops are above grade and you keep a close watch to check for roots creeping over the edge.

Acer palmatum atropurpureum ‘Bloodgood’ is the most commonly sold Japanese maple. The story is that this variety was named for the Bloodgood Nursery (circa 1793) of Long Island. Over the centuries as propagation methods became more sophisticated, along with accurate record keeping, the Bloodgood strain became more uniform.

There are still some variations in size and depth of colour but they are minimal. However, it is advisable to visit a nursery and personally select the specimen which most appeals to you.

PC Leader Brown stops in Belleville to prepare for election tour

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – A Quinte Red Devils minor hockey team had a new right-winger join them Thursday.

Ontario Progressive Conservative Party leader Patrick Brown came to the ice pad at Rhino Sports & Playland in the afternoon to practice with the team.

The event, only announced by the PCs a day earlier, was described as a photo opportunity for media and would not involve interviews. It was sandwiched quickly before a morning event near Ottawa and an evening town hall planned in Peterborough.

Brown entered the arena and chatted with players briefly, before strapping on skates and participating in drills, along with Hastings-Prince Edward’s Conservative Member of Provincial Parliament Todd Smith, as cameras watched their every move.

Smith spoke to the Belleville

News before hitting the ice and said Brown’s tour will help the party prepare for next year’s election campaign. Brown, a former MP in the Stephen Harper federal Conservative government, is now an MPP for the riding of Simcoe-North.

He’s charged with the task of ousting Ontario’s Liberal premier Kathleen Wynne and a recent poll suggests he has a good change of winning.

A Forum Research poll released last month showed that 44 per cent of Ontarians were leaning towards voting PC, compared to 23 per cent Liberal and 24 per cent NDP. Yet past polls have also suggested the majority of Ontarians don’t know Brown well enough to form an opinion on him.

Smith said the intent of the tour is to allow more Ontarians to get to know the leader.

“It’s a commitment to get out

and hit all corners of the province and talk to people right across Ontario and here first hand what their issues are and what they’d like to see from the PC party,” he said.

“It’s also an opportunity to make sure the machine is ready when the campaign rolls around.

We have a central campaign that has experience on what to expect in a campaign.”

When Smith was asked to describe his perception of Brown, he said that the new leader is “very competitive.

“He wants to see Ontario be competitive again. Ontario, unfortunately, has slipped a little bit in the standings federally over the last number of years and Patrick is a very driven guy. He sees the big issues and wants to make the changes where they’re needed and necessary.

“He’s incredibly competitively and driven. I expect that kind of tenacity is exactly what we need in a leader.”

Smith used the word “competitive” to suggest that Brown is focussed on making Ontario’s economy more competitive.

“We’ve been hearing loud and clear we’re quickly becoming an uncompetitive jurisdiction when it comes to attracting new busi-

nesses. There’s a lot of reasons for that. There’s the sky-high electricity prices, there’s also some red tape has been added that makes us hard to compete on a global basis, especially to our neighbours to the east, west and south.”

Brown will turn 40 around the

time of next year’s election, expected to be called in the spring.

While that makes him relatively young in the profession of politics, Smith believes that’s a good thing.

“Yeah, I think so,” he said.

“You need that energy. You need new ideas.”

Innuit youth enjoying summer in Quinte

BY JACK EVANS

Meeting youthful Innuit lad Matt Kunayok from Ulukhkaktok from the shores of the Arctic Ocean, the imagination reels as to how they must be taking in the radical change of scenery and culture.

Matt successfully applied for a federal-sponsored program called Northern Youth Abroad which allows Innuit young people a chance to see other parts of Canada and later, the world, as well as qualify for university education. Matt, whose hobbies include drawing and photography, was assigned a summer job at the Quinte Arts Council office by program organizers in response to his interest in arts in general and his hope to pursue a career in the arts after getting a BA. While he comes from a traditional Innuit village, population about 450, Matt’s main language is English. His village’s history has long trading traditions in copper and its appliances from nearby deposits, plus hunting, fishing and, since the Hudson Bay Company arrived on the scene, trapping. In fact, the village’s name in English means “knives for women” made of copper of course, he explained. The women used such knives to cut meat and clean pelts for clothing.

Matt said he heard about the program from some of his friends who recommended it as a great way to spend the summer. So he put together a presentation of photos and background of his community, which is on the shore of three separate bays on Victoria Island.

“I was very pleased to be accepted. My parents (His dad runs the local co-op store.) were also happy for me, but I think they miss me,” he commented.

He keeps in touch with them by cell phone. He has been too busy to be homesick yet, he said on his second day of the job in the downtown office.

The program arranges for the young people to travel in teams.

A girl from another community in the north is staying at the same billets, the home of Billie Gordon and Maggie Chung on Farley Avenue.

This is not the first time Matt has travelled. “I’ve visited Yellowknife, Whitehorse and Edmonton,” he said.

Matt said Billie gives him a

Matt Kunayok checks over his presentation he made to apply for the Northern Youth Abroad program on his laptop during a break from his summer work at the Quinte Arts Council Office. At the end of July he goes back to Ottawa for a debriefing and report on his summer then flies back to Ulukhaktok on the Arctic Ocean.

ride to work in the mornings and he is still struggling with public transportation use to get home in the evenings. The girl is working for the Salvation Army, he said. Now about to enter Grade 12, Matt hopes to qualify for the program to get to college as his summer job here is a first step in a threestage program, which then goes on to international travel.

For his first few days, Matt has been photographing

works of art and entering them on the Internet for the arts council, work he enjoys. He told of how much he enjoyed the Waterfront Festival which his billet care adults treated him to and other sight-seeing trips and thinks the area is quite beautiful.

Carol Feeney, arts council manager, said getting such assistance for free under the program is a big help for the council and its hard-pressed staff.

Art by the square foot for new show

BY JACK EVANS

The venerable Belleville Art Association’s new show could be called “square” only because each work measures one foot square.

But that did not dampen nor limit the creativity of its many dozens of members who made full use of the one foot by one foot dimensions in oils, watercolours, acrylics and subject matter ranging from fantasy to classic landscapes and still lifes. The latter category includes one eye-catching painting of a tempting slice of lemon pie topped with a huge load of meringue.

With some 100 works by close to 50 artists from senior veterans to enthusiastic newcomers, the cluttered walls of the 392 Front St. gallery and headquarters were almost overshadowed by a lunch buffet table in the middle, which competed for the art works for the dozens of visitors at the show’s official opening Thursday afternoon, July 13.

The Belleville Art Association has been around for

Barbara Harris comes all the way from Prinyers Cove in Prince Edward County to take part in Belleville Art Association activities, including displaying this, one of two works in the current new show which opened last Thursday.

Jack Evans/Metroland

more than half a century and has attracted membership from artists, many of whom could be readily classified as professional, from a radius of 50 miles or more because of the association’s reputation.

As part of its goal to promote art in the region, the gallery holds an “open studio” session every Wednesday from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30

p.m. for beginners or anyone interested, plus a variety of workshops through the year with some internationally known artists as well as local instructors.

Members may also take part in special activities, such as paint-outs, bus grips to This delightful show of 100 square feet of local art is an excellent way to spend some time if you’re downtown.

Original Theatre Festival opens in Quinte West Quinte West - Sharpen the Acts began as a way to bring more theatre to the Old Church. The venue has been garnering attention and popularity for its unique, intimate setting on a rural road just north of Trenton.

But while musical performances, beer tastings and other events suit the venue perfectly, the Roy Bonisteel Studio, created for the former CBC personality, needed to see theatre performed within its walls.

It’s a medium Roy Bonisteel was passionate about.

Brining his love of the stage to life, Bonisteel had performed in the Old Church Theatre before he died in 2013.

In collaboration with artists in the community, Old shopped, with the assistance of professional dramaChurch owner and Bonisteel’s daughter, Lesley, de- turg, Ilana Lucas. veloped a festival of original one-act plays. Putting Ryan Aldred, author of murder mystery Rum a call out to experienced authors and playwrights in Luck, wrote Home, a cheeky play that examines the the community, three plays were selected, then work-

BY SUE DICKENS

Seymour Township – A 53-year-old local man succumbed to his injuries after being taken to Campbellford Memorial Hospital following an accident in which a 23-foot camper trailer he was working on collapsed on him.

Trent Hills Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services responded prior to police and found that family members had already raised the trailer allowing them access to the injured man.

Further cribbing was put in place by the

Fire Department at which time he was removed and transported to hospital.

Northumberland OPP had responded to a call at 2:52 p.m. on Tues., July 11 at the 11th Line West property.

Police determined that the man was working on supports underneath the trailer when they suddenly became unstable and collapsed.

Investigators consider the incident not suspicious in nature and no foul play is suspected.

Name withheld pending next-of-kin notification.

‘Eating clean’ helped Incredible Edibles speaker recover from Lyme disease in water ... (and) processed foods,” he said. “You really need to strengthen your gut.”

Today, Lawrence, his wife Patty, their oldest son Tyler and his wife Lindy operate Sweet Dream Food on their Dare 2 Dream Farm near Kendal, east of the Village of Newcastle.

A food processing plant they built on the farm produces the many distinctive vinegars, mustards, honeys, and maple syrup products their business sells, including the “first ever maple vinegar.”

Sweet Dream's liquid honey placed first overall at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto earlier this year.

Lawrence said he still has “some issues” with his health, such as “serious brain fog” three to four days a month, but no more joint pain or asthma.

His vision has gone in one eye “only because they did so many surgeries,” he said.

His advice to people receiving health care is to “make sure they treat causes, not symptoms,” he said. Do that and “you won't be on multiple medications.”

JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford - Twelve years ago Steve Lawrence's body “started shutting down.”

He developed cataracts, suffered from severe asthma and rheumatoid arthritis, showed symptoms of heart problems, and began exhibiting signs of an early onset of Alzheimer's disease.

He saw several specialists but “they didn't know what it was ... they just gave up on me, they said you're done,” Lawrence said in an interview and subsequent presentation at the Incredible Edibles Food Festival July 8.

In 2009 he was told he had two years to live.

Then one day he was handed a pamphlet about Lyme disease.

He read the symptoms and “went check, check, check, check all the way down” and knew he had his answer: It was a bacterial infection that had turned his life upside-down.

Lawrence followed up by doing his own research and confirmed his suspicion by sending a blood sample to California for testing.

“It came back strongly positive for Lyme disease and I started the road to recovery,” he said. “It took me a good three years and I'm about 99 per cent symptom-free now.”

STEVE LAWRENCE

Helping to make his recovery possible “was knowing where my food came from,” he said.

“You got to make your body strong so your body can fight,” Lawrence said. “It's not just about throwing a bunch of antibiotics at (a disease) and knocking it out, and you're good forever. You've got to actually look after your body.”

Given “the right tools, your body will heal itself,” Lawrence said. “It was all about eating clean” and

Parks minister raises ‘blue flag’ at Sandbanks beach

BY JACK EVANS

Sandbanks Park-If Ontario’s Minister of Lands and Forests raises a blue flag over the Outlet Beach here, what does it mean?

(Like and share if you know. – Hints: it has nothing to do with politics, body or cleaning products or bug killers.)

Whether you know what it means or not, the blue flag was well and truly raised right across the road from the Park Store Wednesday of last week signifying that the popular Prince Edward County beach is one of the best in the world, one of about 25 blue flag beaches and/or marinas across Ontario this year, also one of some 4,000 now flying across 47 countries under a program started in 1987.

um to the water in recognition of accessibility for wheelchairs.

“I am excited to be here to celebrate the first Blue Flag award for Outlet Beach. Sandbanks joins Wasaga as Ontario’s second provincial park to receive this prestigious award.” She called it “the international seal of approval for a beach or marina. A beach has to meet a set of 33 criteria covering environmental education, water quality, environmental management, safety and accessibility.

Tryon added: “I would like to thank Minister McGarry and the Ministry of Natural Resources for supporting the Blue Flag initiative at Sandbanks Park.

We look forward to seeing more Ontario Parks flying the Blue Flag in the future.”

Also attending were MPP Todd Smith and Prince Edward County Mayor Robert Quaiff, who said: ”Such recognition goes to help the entire tourist industry spectrum in the county.” He noted Sandbanks alone drew some 800,000 visitors last year.

Sandbanks is the most profitable park in Ontario, Reilly confirmed, and the proceeds go toward improvements and conservation at parks across the province.

One park staffer also quipped that, in spite of continued flooding problems, “There are still a few campsites available – if you bring your own houseboat.”

Local journo-produced long-form doc airs on TVO July 27 A local print journalist is branching out.

TVO presents a documentary about murder, betrayal, and the affect of violence on Toronto’s roughest neighborhoods. The film, billed as “one of the channel’s highlights for the month of July,” was produced by local journalist Jason Miller.

On Wednesday July 26, at 9pm, TVO will broadcast the premiere of the public provincial network’s first long-form documentary, “Some Sort of Judas”, produced by Belleville Intelligencer reporter Jason Miller. The story follows Kevin Williams, known to many as Toronto underground rapper Mayhem Morearty.

In 2015, Williams became the star witness in the Crown’s case against former friend, collaborator, and musical cohort Mark Moore. Moore would go on to be convicted for the brutal deaths of four innocent men.

The film will also be available to stream on TVO’s website starting July 27. Repeat broadcasts are on July 27 at 10 p.m. and July 30 at 9 p.m.

An overview of the doc: “Kevin Williams and Mark Moore grew up in “The Jungle”, the violent neighborhood of Lawrence Heights, sandwiched between the Allen Expressway and Yorkdale Mall. Growing up they knew one truth – talking to the cops can get you killed.

“In the fall of 2010, Kevin witnessed Mark Moore gun down Courthney Facey and Mike James, two innocent teenagers. The murders were part of a killing spree that would see four men die at the muzzle of Moore’s 9mm. In the following year, Williams would commit the cardinal sin, in his world, of becoming a star witness in the Crown’s case against Moore. While Williams’ testimony would help put Toronto’s only bona fide serial killer behind bars, the man known as Mayhem, had now turned Judas. For his crimes against the streets that raised him, he became a marked man, forced into protective custody.

“From exile in an unnamed location, Kevin Williams unspools a complex story of betrayal; betrayal between friends, community, and by the institutions that are supposed to keep the peace.”

Asbestos is the leading cause of workplace death in Canada, with approximately 1,900 lung cancers and 430 mesotheliomas attributed to occupational asbestos exposure each year. In 2016, the federal government decided to ban the manufacture, use, import and export of asbestos in Canada by 2018. This was great news for Canadians as all forms of asbestos cause cancer and there’s no known safe level of exposure.

Trent Hills to consider changing rules to allow livestock on smaller lots

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Trent Hills - The minimum amount of rural land needed to keep livestock in the municipality is 25 acres, but that could change.

Council made clear several years ago it didn't want chickens in urban areas but it indicated then it would look at amending zoning regulations to permit a small number of livestock on smaller rural lots.

It's become an issue again in recent months and director of planning Jim Peters asked for council's input at its last meeting, as “it's been the direction of council to try to allow this”.

“We're getting this question all the time ... (and) we need to address it somehow. It's just a matter of how far do we go and how quickly do we get there.”

Peters said there have been “a lot of real estate inquiries” about keeping animals on smaller lots, “but we also have people ... (who) right now are totally out of compliance (and) we're working on bringing them into compliance”.

The planner said it's “difficult to create a set of general requirements that will work because of the variety of situations that exist,” adding: “There have been two-acre parcels where horses were kept without impact.”

After researching “existing situations and the approach taken by other jurisdictions”, Peters made a number of recommendations for council to consider, including no livestock to be permitted on a rural residential lot smaller than two acres, and for livestock to be kept on larger lots at least one acre must be set aside for pasture land with a building

at least 100 metres from any neighbouring dwelling.

He also suggested limits on the number of animals: no more than six per acre of rabbits, chickens (hens only), geese, or turkeys on lots between two and five acres, with six being the maximum for a two-acre lot.

For sheep, goats, llamas, and ostriches, Peters proposed a limit of three per acre (and no more than three for a two-acre property).

He recommended the minimum lot size for cows and horses be five acres, with a minimum of one acre of pasture per animal, to a maximum of three animals.

The number could increase at a rate of six small, three medium, or one large animal per acre of pasture land available.

Peters also suggested property owners wanting to keep livestock be required to pur-

chase a licence annually, as kennel owners do.

Councillor Cathy Redden expressed support of the planner's recommendations, saying she'd “sooner live next door to a few chickens and some bunny rabbits” than a dog kennel.

However, she wondered who is going to make sure residents' concerns “are addressed in a timely manner before people start having range wars”.

Peters said an inspection would be done annually by staff to ensure compliance before a licence is renewed.

Mayor Hector Macmillan said staff are “on the right track”.

Council directed staff to prepare the necessary bylaw amendment.
