Semple tabbed as new Central Hastings OPP commander

By Chris Malette Madoc – The Ontario Provincial Police detachment here is getting a new boss – one with a local connection.

Staff Sgt. Scott Semple, 50, who has worked for the past several years in a senior administratve role out of Napanee detachment, was chosen to replace retired Central Hastings detachment commander Peter Valiquette, who tendered his resignation as of June 30 at the Madoc-based Central Hastings detachment.

Semple is a Kingston native who previously worked in his family’s ‘Semple’s - Your Independent Grocer’ store in Belleville – the forerunner of the current Dewe’s franchise in the city.

For much of the time he worked in the grocery business, he yearned for a career in policing, serving with the OPP as an auxiliary, volunteer officer, assisting in all roles from traffic duties, to RIDE programs and community service activities. When Semple’s father, Jack, sold the Belleville store, Semple went back to school and on into the OPP. Semple is a former member of the Eastern TRU Team and was promoted to sergeant in 2009. He recently graduated from Queen’s University with a degree Staff Sgt. Scott Semple, newly appointed Detachment Commander for Central Hastings OPP. Photo courtesy of in psychology.

Ontario Provincial Police.

In a profile in the Napanee Guide newspaper when Semple took on the role of staff sergeant and operations manager at Napanee detachment, he spoke of his interest in the community side of policing. One of his first jobs in Napanee as an OPP officer was as a bicycle patrol officer. During that time, he became an advocate of the Napanee Drop-In Youth Centre.

“It’s something that I championed because I really believe in it, seeing what I saw doing bike patrol in Napanee, that kids didn’t have a place where they could go and be engaged or just hang out, especially in the summer,” Semple told the Napanee Guide. “Kids in this age group get lost, and something was needed in Napanee.”

During his time in Napanee, he also sat on the board of directors for the Lennox & Addington Addiction and Community Mental Health Services which, he says, gave him some valuable insight into the ever-increasing need for police to be aware of and work toward understanding the challenges of the policing and dealing with individuals with varying degrees of mental health issues.

The Napanee detachment encompasses a vast area – making it the second largest detachment in eastern Ontario – and covers Greater

Napanee, Loyalist Township, Tyendinaga Township, Deseronto, all of Addington Highlands and a portion of Barrie Ward, which is part of Frontenac County.

The geographical makeup of the Napanee detachment – quite apart from the dizzying task of patrolling a large swath of Highway 401 – gives Semple much experience in dealing with detachments that include built-up area, rural sections, bush and remote lakes, as Central Hastings contains.

“I’m honoured and excited to get to work with the good folks at Central Hastings detachment,” said Semple in an interview. “Pete (Valiquette) has done a terrific job there and they’ve got an excellent group of people, so I’m really looking forward to working with all of the great team in Madoc.”

Semple’s superior at East command in Smiths Falls, Supt. Chris Lungstrass, had this to say about the new detachment commander.

“Staff Sgt. Semple is a long-serving member of the OPP and brings a wide range of experience to his new position as Detachment Commander at Centre Hastings Detachment,” said Lungstrass. “We know he will support all of the communities in the area as well as his members with the utmost degree of professionalism and dedication.”

Trent Hills Library announces short story contest winners

By John Campbell Campbellford – The winning entry in Trent Hills Public Library’s inaugural Co-Author Writing Contest reminded one judge of “early Stephen King” because the tale was “very creepy and very well put together.”

Where The Fairies Dwell, written

by Samantha Reid, an 18-year-old Campbellford District High School student, and Ilse Hirschegger, a retired CBC news editor, had a “story arc [that] was great, it just built and built and built,” said Alan Bland.

The short story was “every parent‘s nightmare.”

It‘s about a “young girl dissatisfied with her home life who goes into the forest for an adventure [but] things don‘t quite turn out the way she wanted them to because the fairies are playing tricks on her,” Reid said.

“It took us a long time to come up with the subject,” Hirschegger said, before settling on her suggestion “to get into the mind of a little girl.”

Thus began a collaboration largely by way of email, with each taking Samantha Reid, a Campbellford District High School student, and Ilse Hirschegger, a retired CBC news editor, won the inaugural Trent Hills Public Library‘s Co-Author Writing Contest. Second place went to Amelia Nicholas and her mentor Marcia Perryman. Photo by John Campbell.

turns contributing a few hundred words to the story as it developed over the course of two weeks.

“It was very much an organic thing,” Hirschegger said. “We took the story where it took us” -- to an ending that, “left it a little bit vague” about what happened to the girl.

That had Bland wanting “it to go on a bit longer,” he said.

His fellow judge Bill McCrow agreed, saying he “liked the character of the fairies, [and] the journey through the woods was fantastic. What really helped build [the suspense] was the relationship with the family” and the mixing in of reality and fantasy.

For their efforts Reid and Hirschegger reach received a tablet from the contest‘s sponsor, Merle Marshall-Garside, a local resident who founded Medlicott Writers’ Network to help debut and one-time published writers get their work into print.

Library CEO Mary-Jo Mahoney, the person responsible for the contest, was happy with the response – four young people paired with four older adults who served as mentors in helping them write a work of fiction to a maximum of 2,500 words.

“I thought the outcome was very, very good,” she said. “I would like to see it be held again next year,” with more students involved.

Brianna Parr, the children‘s librarian, was also pleased with the results.

“We can tell there‘s going to be lasting friendships.”

Bland said, “the important thing” wasn’t winning but having a passion to write and to share stories, emotions, feelings, ideas and visions with other people.

“All the stories had an impact,” MarshallGarside said.

They will be posted on the library website.

cent farm, producing 200 different commodities.

He said the general public needs to know what farmers do.

“We need to always remind them Ontario has a quality system of agriculture,” he said.

He said the OFA keeps track of all legislative policy because, “It all affects farmers in some way.”

He spoke of provincial policies on climate change, conservation, energy and invasive species, “All these things affect the farmer,” he said. “We aren’t going to pollute our own land, our water. We want to protect it. We need to get the message out that we are working to sustain the land and produce quality products. The problem is we haven’t told people what we do well enough.”

The new federal government is just beginning to set policy in agriculture, he said, and the OFA is working to ensure tax dollars come back to help Ontario farmers. McCabe said, “A big thing is to get natural gas to rural farmers, and they need broadband.

They don’t need more paper work, they have enough to do.”

“It is an important fundraiser,” vice president Gail Hughes agreed.

When the food bank shifted to a more spacious and accommodating location in St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church three and a half years ago, it began to pay rent.

“It’s an altogether better environment,” Kock says.

“We need to do this because we don’t get funded by anybody,” adds Hughes. “We have a lot of generous people in the community who make donations, but this is a big sale for us.”

Like other organizations, she said, they’ve experienced a general dropoff in donations, but added, “We do the best we can.”

The sale also raises the organization’s profile, which could lead to volunteer recruits and, Hughes said, “draws people’s attention to the fact we actually have a food bank.

We don’t have that many opportunities to out at public functions.

“Today’s perfect. It’s a good day.”

The food bank runs Tuesday from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. and Wednesday from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. It is closed the last week of the month.

Stirling courting OPP? Maybe, maybe not: mayor

By Terry McNamee Stirling-Rawdon — Speculation has been rampant in Stirling regarding the possible disbanding of the StirlingRawdon Police Service as soon as this winter.

Not true, said members of StirlingRawdon Council on Monday, July 18.

That said, the municipality has requested a report from the Ontario Provincial Police to find out what it would cost the township to use the OPP to provide policing.

“We’re in the queue for costing,” said Mayor Rodney Cooney.

“There was a motion made a year

“If we write a ticket, we lose money,” he said.

Hearns explained that policing is legislated by the province, so surcharges cannot be applied, But, she said, Ontario police chiefs have been discussing their concern that money is not coming back to local municipalities to help cover the cost of policing.

Another issue raised by the audience was whether the Stirling Public Library would be closed. Wayne Martin said a couple of people had approached him, asking if he had heard anything about this. He suggested they call Hearns, but they were reluctant, so he called and was told there was no truth to the rumour. Martin said he passed on the information, but he added that, had it been true, “They Jean Whitley guides her horse, Doc Trail Tom, over the wooden bridge in the Extreme Trail class at were just ready to start tearing the vil- Tweed Fairgrounds on Sunday.

and a half ago for a quote for OPP costing,” said Treasurer/Interim CAO Roxanne Hearns. “We’re just in the process of going through the OPP policies and procedures and following their rules and regulations to be able to get that costing.”

She said that can take as long as three years.

Audience member Debbie Ackers also was concerned, and asked if council had requested costing for providing police services from the RCMP, the City of Belleville or anyone else. The Mayor said yes, “But Belleville told me not to talk about it,” he added.

Ralph Manson asked if there was some way to apply a surcharge on services to help cover policing costs now that the province has cut funding.

Cooney said no, although he liked the idea.

Secretary Betty Holt and director Lyn Hunter explained that the club currently has a membership of 50, and is always welcoming of new riders and families.

As contestants moved through the ring, the show staff spoke with pride of the calibre of horses and horse owners present. One animal, a lovely Arabian mare, was a rescue who showed quiet determination and real grace as she was maneuvered through the challenging course. Another beautiful black mare, solidly built, was a Canadian Horse appropriately named I Am Canadian.

OPINION

Turkey’s incompetent attempted coup

Gwynne Dyer

Turkey’s democracy is dead. It was dying anyway, as President Recep Tayyib Erdogan took over media outlets, arrested political opponents and journalists, and even re-started a war with the Kurds last autumn in order to win an election. But once part of the army launched a coup attempt on Friday night, it was dead no matter which way the

crisis ended.

It wasn’t a very competent coup attempt. The first rule of coup-making is: arrest or kill the person you are trying to overthrow. The coup leaders should have been able to grab Erdogan, who was on holiday at the seaside resort of Marmaris, but they didn’t.

They didn’t shut down the internet and social media either, so Erdogan was able to use his cellphone to get a message out on FaceTime, calling on his supporters to defy the soldiers on the streets of Istanbul and Ankara. They didn’t even shut down the broadcast media that sent Erdogan’s call out to the public.

It was three hours before they occupied the offices of TRT, the state broadcaster, and they were chased out again by Erdogan less than an hour later. They didn’t ever try to shut down the private television networks, which have a much bigger audience.

The second rule of coup-making is: act as if you mean it. This usually means that you have to be willing to kill people – but the colonels behind the coup (the generals were all vetted by Erdogan’s people) were largely reluctant to use lethal force.

This is laudable, in human terms, but if you are trying to overthrow the rule of a ruthless man who aspires to absolute control, it is a very bad mistake. They took control of Istanbul airport, but they were chased out again by Erdogan’s supporters because they were not willing to shoot them – and Erdogan flew back into the city.

Maybe the coup-makers were just too short of troops to grab control of everything they needed to make the coup work. Maybe, also, they were afraid to order their troops to carry out a massacre because Turkey’s is a conscript army, and many of its young soldiers – basically civilians in uniform for one year – might simply refuse to kill their fellow citizens.

Water you doing about it?

Editorial - Chris Malette

At any rate, they didn’t use massive violence in Istanbul (42 people were reportedly killed in Ankara), and so they were soon in retreat. But there can be no happy ending to this episode.

Democracy would obviously have been dead if the rebels won. Almost exactly half of Turkey’s voters backed Erdogan in the last election, so a military regime would have had to stay in power for a long time. It would not have dared to hold a free election and risk Erdogan returning to power.

It would have been equally dead if the coup had partially succeeded and the army had really split, for that would have meant civil war. Mercifully that possibility has now disappeared, but democracy will be dead in Turkey even if the coup is utterly defeated.

A triumphant Erdogan will seize this opportunity to complete his take-over of all the major state organisations and the media, and become (as his followers often call him) the “Sultan” of Turkey.

That is a tragedy, because five or ten years ago Turkey seemed well on the way to being the sort of democracy, with free media and the rule of law, where a coup like this was simply inconceivable.

When Erdogan won his first election in 2002, promising to remove all the restricions that pious Muslims suffered under the rigidly secular constitution, it seemed a reasonable step forward in the democratisation process. He kept his promises about that, but gradually he went further, trying to Islamise the country against the strong opposition of the half of the population that favours a secular state.

Luckily for Erdogan the Turkish economy was booming, so he went on winning elections – and he worked steadily to concentrate all power in his own office. He removed any officials who were not his avid supporters, attacked the freedom of the media, and committed Turkey to unconditional support for the Islamist rebels in neighbouring Syria.

The coup leaders made the same mistake as the Egyptian liberals made when they asked the army to overthrow the elected president there in 2013. Egypt had a president whom they feared and hated, but they also had a democracy which provided a peaceful means of ousting him.

Erdogan’s popularity would have dwindled with time. The Turkish economy is stagnant, his Syrian policy is a disaster, and the flagrant corruption of the people around him is getting hard to ignore. Sooner or later he would have lost an election. But like the Egyptian liberals, the officers who led the Turkish coup didn’t trust democracy enough to wait.

Some of you may have noticed things are, ahem, a little dry out there.

Lawns that are part of the summer experience, where you can stroll barefoot through a cool, lush green carpet now resemble the husks of popcorn at the bottom of your movie bowl. Some varieties of trees are shedding their leaves.

You get the picture. But, for those of us who can’t grasp what a low water warning is, here’s a portion of the Quinte Conservation memo of last week: Quinte Conservation Water Resources Manager Christine McClure says, “We have received approximately 50% of average rainfall across the watershed over the past three months. This means that some lake and river levels are visibly lower than they would normally be for this time of year.

Flows in the Moira, Napanee and Salmon Rivers continue to be extremely low and we need a significant amount of rain to change that. The Water Response Team met Tuesday morning and declared that we are now in a Level 2 Low Water Condition.”

A Level 2 Low Water Condition indicates a potentially serious water supply problem.

This level often means minor water supply issues are encountered and there is the potential for major supply problems. A Level 2 condition is managed through Conservation Authorities, municipalities and other key provincial agencies. Low water conditions are ranked as Level 1, 2 or 3 based on a prolonged period of low flows or precipitation. A Level 1 is the least severe and Level 3 is the most severe.

With the potential for the dry summer to continue, Quinte Conservation says it’s time for residents, businesses and municipalities to get serious about conserving water. The environmental organization is asking residents and businesses in the region to reduce non-essential water usage by 20 per cent until the supply is replenished. People on private wells should be especially careful of their water usage.

Non-essential water use includes the outside watering of plants and lawns, and washing driveways and sidewalks…

So it was all I could do last week while driving down my neighbourhood street to not roll down my window and hurl a string of invectives at a neighbour some half a block away. I have written about this mutt before. This is the lad who thinks it’s okay

to use his snowblower, in winter, to blast the slush and snow from his driveway into the street. That’s a jerk move, to be sure, but his drive is less than 25 metres from a stop signed intersection where kids going to nearby Queen Victoria School cross.

The potential is there, then, for the icy slick in front of his house to give a motorist no grip when he or she applies the brakes for the crossing guard and kids. It’s a tragedy waiting to happen.

But, here is said same bozo in the middle of a Level 2 low water warning – wait for it – watering down his driveway after washing his car in the drive.

Later, on my way home from errands, I saw him some 40 minutes later, still with hose in hand, watering his lawn with the nozzle of the hose set on full-bore.

Why should this make me grind my teeth, you ask? Hey, the bay has plenty of water, you say?

Well, I’m of a mind – and many others in these parts may back me on this – that when conservation authorities are issuing low water warnings in our streams and rivers, we should exercise some restraint from lawn-watering, car-washing and should damn straight not be watering our driveway. (Who does that, anyway? I know, I know, old fellas. Well I’m one and wouldn’t think of watering my driveway.

Ever heard of a broom? Oh, yeah, buddy up-street has a leaf-blower, too, for blowing the autumn leaves off his lawn and, you guessed it, onto the street.)

Some years back, while owning a farm near Stirling, we learned to live with selfimposed water restrictions. This is nothing new to the majority of you reading this in rural areas of the readership, but some of the things you do while living on a well and septic may come as a shock to some of the delicate darlings in the city.

Things like turning off the tap while brushing your teeth, the good old ‘let it mellow’ method of flushing, shorter showers (good luck with two teen daughters in the house!) and on and on. But, it drives home the point – water is a finite resource and it’s during times of quasi-drought, as we’re now experiencing, that it’s driven home.

Got a neighbour like mine? Do us all a favour and tie his hose in a knot – the garden hose.

Long-time member resigns from Stirling Library Board

By Terry McNamee Stirling—The July 12 meeting of the Stirling Library Board was anything but sedate as a 12-year veteran of the board and former board chair handed in her resignation.

Denyse Mouck has been protesting the way the board has been run and repeatedly claimed that board policy was not being followed in the selection of new board members. Citing the emotional and physical toll the fight to make these matters public has taken on her health, she said she made the difficult choice to resign.

Only library CAO Sue Winfield commented on Mouck’s resignation.

“On behalf of the library staff, Denyse, thank you for all your years of service,” Winfield said.

Aside from passing a motion to accept her resignation, there was silence from other board members, although she received a standing ovation from the large contingent of citizens attending the meeting as she left the table.

However, during the public portion at the end of the meeting, chairman and township Coun. Dean Graff said, “Denyse, we do appreciate everything you’ve done over the years.”

Earlier in the meeting, the Board Member Succession Planning Policy was discussed and passed. The policy, which is unchanged from past years, has not been adhered to, Mouck said.

Applications are supposed to go to the library CAO and the Board, which is to submit a list for Council to choose from.

“This board has never, ever, seen an application to sit on the board,” Mouck said. She added, “I don’t think the Mayor should be the only person to see the applications and make a choice.”

Graff said this policy was for selecting future board members, and he didn’t know what the policy had been in the past.

“It has always been our policy,” Mouck replied. “We have never had the opportunity to follow this policy.”

Graff asked if she wanted to change the policy.

“I don’t want to change anything,” she replied. “I want it to stay exactly like it is, and then I want it to be implemented... If we can accept it the way it is, and then actually do it, that would be amazing.”

Shortly afterward, Graff asked if there was any discussion regarding a mediator, in reference to Mouck being removed as board chairman without notice in October, 2015.

“I think we have gone beyond the point of a mediator,” Mouck said.

This is not the first time a chairman has been removed without cause. In December 2014, then-board chairman Phil Martin, plus members John Docherty, Kim Finkle and Helen Thompson, were all removed from the board without notice or explanation, despite having three years left in their term.

Mouck read a prepared statement in which she made serious accusations.

“The pattern of bullying, badgering and disrespect — disrespect for our dedicated CEO, the rules of procedure

that should govern our meetings and disrespect for individuals like myself who have challenged this pattern of abuse —is appalling,” Mouck said. “It is because of my deep respect for Sue and the staff who work here, along with the absolute understanding of the importance of this library to our community, that has given me the courage to stay as long as I have.”

There was no response from other board members.

After the official portion of the meeting, citizens were given the chance to ask questions. One concern was

whether library hours would be cut.

Graff assured that this would not happen.

“We’re not cutting any hours in the library,” he said. “That was never, ever, brought up.”

There was some back-and-forth regarding whether policy was followed in choosing the current board. Graff said it was; Mouck, now in the audience, said it was not. There was further confusion about what policies were referred to: library policy versus Township policy, and the library CAO versus the township CEO (the mayor).

Graff promised to clarify this by the next meeting.

Shortly after someone suggested getting rid of the whole board and starting over, assistant librarian Theresa Brennan accused Graff of looking at her and saying “You’re next.” He replied, “Next what?” She told him she wasn’t intimidated by him, adding, “If you have something to say to me, bring it on.” She then walked away.

At that point, many of the citizens in attendance began asking questions, while Winfield quietly left as the meeting was adjourned.

Put your thinking Stirling Council, committee cap on, Canada’s meeting dates decided 150th anniversary is coming up

By Terry McNamee

Campbellford – It’s time to start thinking about Canada’s 150th anniversary next year, if you haven’t already.

If you do have a great idea for a project to commemorate the sesquicentennial milestone, the Campbellford/Seymour Community Foundation wants to hear about it.

In partnership with the Community Fund for Canada’s 150th, it is prepared to support local initiatives with $30,000 in funding, with each providing $15,000.

They have to meet certain goals set by the fund, such as activities or events that are celebratory or commemorative, that build a community, involve sports and active living, furnish learning materials, are artistic in nature, or encourage environmental stewardship, said foundation executive assistant Pam Vandesteeg.

They also “have to engage a significant number of community members,” be of public benefit and “have a legacy beyond 2017,” as well as mark Canada’s birth as a nation in 1867 “in a manner that addresses a community need and is a collaboration between multiple community actors,” she said.

There is plenty of time to think of something. The Foundation won’t be accepting grant applications until January-February 2017 as part of its regular granting cycle.

Applications for the special grant stream will only be accepted at that time online through the Community Fund for Canada’s 150th digital platform.

The applications must come from registered charities or other registered organizations, such as athletic associations, either on their own or in collaboration with other groups. Anyone with an idea who is not part of an

eligible organization can call the foundation and “discuss the idea with us,” Vandesteeg said. “We might be able to give them some names of organizations that might be interested in doing that type of project.”

“We don’t want to put any specific ideas out there, because we want people to come up with their own,” executive director Martha Murphy said.

“It would be nice if there was one community project that somebody came up with (for) all of Trent Hills to connect everybody and really celebrate the 150th in our community,” Vandesteeg said.

For more information about funding, visit www.http://cscf.ca/communityimpact/community-fund-canadas150th In other news, Trent Hills has secured $60,000 from the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program for rehabilitation and upgrades to the Campbellford-Seymour Heritage Centre Barn to allow for greater accessibility for patrons to visit historical displays as well as $50,000 for significant landscaping and tourism signage at the corner of Bridge and Front streets to create a town square.

The municipality has applied for an additional $25,000 to use towards providing an accessible viewing area at the Warkworth arena and another $20,600 to improve lighting at the Campbellford arena.

60-year sisterhood with the Eastern Star celebrated

Warkworth – The sisterhood of the Order of the Eastern Star Chapter 279 Warkworth was celebrated recently with two of the members receiving 60-year pins.

Cozette Barnum of Campbellford, who joined the Order in Warkworth when her town chapter closed, said, “I never expected to see 60 years here. I just wish my husband was living. He was grand organist for Ontario, you know,” she said with a smile.

She joined with the idea of helping her community and stayed because of “the fellowship of all the people in our district,” recalling when the organization hosted dances and pot luck suppers as fundraising events.

“The money was used for the community,” she explained. “We even have a room at the hospital in honour of our organization because we donated.”

Grace Sayles of Warkworth also received her 60-year pin at a special ceremony held at the Masonic Lodge.

For Sayles, “It is the fellowship that I enjoy the most. I didn’t have any expectations when I joined . . . I thought I’d be here as long as possible . . . and here I am, 60 years.”

Sayles is also a 60-year charter member (the only living charter member) of Coronation Ladies Orange Benevolent Association 1267.

The Eastern Star is a Freemasonic appendant body open to both men and women.

“The men were going out every night of the week and wives were complaining and a Mason made up the program Eastern Star,” noted Marina Williamson, worthy matron Chapter 279 Warkworth.

She led the chapter’s lunch and ceremony to mark the 60-year pin presentations.

The afternoon event was also the final regular meeting until September when

Williamson’s term ends and a new group will be installed to lead the Order.

“There are 18 officers some old some new,” she commented.

The Warkworth chapter has about 85 members.

Things are already heating up as the Order works out details of their 37th Annual Perfect Pie Contest, their biggest fundraiser of the year, which happens in late fall.

Central Hastings Trent Hills News - Thursday, July 21, 2016

By Sue Dickens Campbellford – Artists helping artists is the result of a Westben partnership with the Brain Injury Association, Peterborough Region which will help fundraise and give exposure to local talent on stage and off.

“This is Marilyn Keene’s brainstorm. She is head of Westben’s volunteers,” commented Donna Bennett, co-founder and marketing director.

Twenty-five artists from the area have painted wooden trays which were made by the Brain Injury Association’s clients, and they will be set up at every show this season in a live auction format so people can bid on a tray with the artwork of their choice.

“We just try to do something that involves the area with different artists together in one fundraising event,” explained Keene. A lot of the artists are patrons or volunteers of Westben and come from Belleville, Campbellford, Havelock, Norwood, Peterborough and Warkworth.

Klarissa Kocsis of Campbellford painted a tray and called her work “Lilacs”.

“Wood is so nice to work on,” she

said, smiling. “It was fun, and I have found that flowers sell.”

Warkworth artist Peter Moore painted a golf course on his tray. His painting is called “The Masters.” He and his wife Janie were at the opening reception to launch the fundraiser this past Sunday.

“Westben picks something different to paint every year” he commented. “I love the versatility. We think this is a great thing for the community.”

As Keene pointed out to the gathering of artists and friends of Westben at the launch, “It’s kind of ironic the money raised through your artistry goes to other artists at Westben to allow Westben to keep supporting music and the work of the musicians.”

Westben co-founder and artistic director Brian Finley spoke to the group as well, welcoming them to the event, which was to be followed by a show “Follow the Lieder – A Summer Schubertiad” celebrating the music of Franz Schubert.

‘It’s amazing the quality, the imagination, it just all sort of fits with what I love to see at Westben, a mix of beautiful imagination and art,” said Finley.

Celebrating the sisterhood and fellowship of many years Grace Sayles, left, and Cozette Barnum, right, were presented with 60-year pins by Marina Williamson, worthy matron Order of the Eastern Star Chapter 279 Warkworth. Photo by Sue Dickens

Stirling library staff must work through breaks, lunches

Stirling artist has work on display at the local library gallery

By Terry McNamee Stirling—Anyone who has dropped in to the art gallery at the Stirling Public Library this summer will have seen a display of wildly whimsical art.

There is a painting of a mouse sheltering under a toadstool to avoid the rain.

A procession of sea monsters swims across one wall, while owls stare out at visitors, a brown pig dances and a rocket ship blazes across the sky.

They are all the work of Stirling artist André Jolicoeur, whose wild, wacky and joyful paintings delight children and adults alike.

Jolicoeur’s paintings and prints are on display at the library until Saturday, July 30. People can buy prints on paper for just $10 each or three for $25, and the proceeds go to the Stirling Library.

This isn’t the only way Jolicoeur helps the library. He holds drop-in art nights for children at the library during the school year, and will be doing a mural project on the walls in the children’s section this summer. He also is holding a children’s art workshop on July 28, but there is a waiting list for that.

“It usually fills up pretty quick,” he said.

Jolicoeur went through elementary and high school doodling and drawing cartoons and illustrations in the margins of his note books.

“If I was doing a test, you’d better believe there’d be doodles all over the side of the page!” he said.

Jolicoeur studied illustration at Sheridan College, then earned a Bachelor of Applied Arts in 2007. In no time, he was getting commissions for artwork and for book illustrations.

He makes a living with his art, and now is so popular that he sometimes has to turn down work.

His paintings are usually done with ordinary latex paint, not artists’ paints.

“I use recycled materials as much as possible,” he said. He loves painting on Masonite because it is both cheap and a great surface to work on.

The works often

look so three-dimensional that people think they are raised and not actually flat.

In addition to painting, he does a fair bit of original digital work using a program called Art Rage.

Jolicoeur’s work will be on display and for sale next month during Art in the Park at Henry Street Park in Stirling on Saturday, Aug. 13.

To see more of his work, check his By Terry McNamee website at www.andrejolicoeur.com Stirling—Because of the lack of staff and the layout of the Stirling Public Library, staff cannot leave the building or even their desks for breaks or for lunch, library CEO Sue Winfield told the library board.

During the July 12 meeting of the board, members discussed policy HR0831, which specifies that staff must be given breaks, including a 30-minute break free from work every five hours, during the work day to meet the requirements outlined in the Ontario Employment Standards Act. “I want to make sure we are adhering to this,” said board chair Councillor Dean Graff. “I think it’s very important.”

Winfield agreed, but said that simply isn’t possible.

“The reality of it is, we’re a small library and small staff,” she said, exPaintings by Stirling artist André Jolicoeur, plaining that, with the adult section shown here at last upstairs and the children’s library on year’s Art in the Park, the main floor, this cannot be done if are on display at the there are only two people working.

have no choice but to take their breaks and their lunches at their desks, which means they continue to work during those times, unless there are three staff members in the building at the time.

Graff asked what happens if a person works eight hours without a break, and faints and falls because the person has worked eight hours without a break.

“What do you suggest is an alternative solution?” Winfield asked.

“Is there a way that we can follow the labour laws of our province?” asked the chairman.

“I don’t see how you do it when you’ve got two...,” she started to say.

“So you’re saying you can’t follow the labour laws,” Graff said.

“It would be ideal,” she replied, “but I think most small libraries in fact don’t, because they don’t have the staff to cover.”

“So it’s the lack of staff,” Graff said, and Winfield said yes.

Graff asked if people were paid for their lunch breaks, and she replied yes, because they continue to work through them.

A motion was made and passed to approve the policy, with no additional discussion about finding a solution to this health and safety concern.

Students are master chefs in the making at Warkworth public school

For the past three years, The Abundance Project has been providing weekly cooking classes to Grade 8 students at Percy Centennial School in Warkworth. Last year as school wound down before summer organizers introduced a Master Chef event for the students that allowed them “to demonstrate the kitchen skills and healthy eating learning they had been taught,” David Lyon said. The students are divided into teams and given several weeks to research and plan a main course meal as well as assign duties among team members. The results of their efforts are judged by a panel. Eliza Amos-Brick presented her team’s dish to the five judges. Photo by John Campbell

Rocking chair health campaign rocks into Norwood

By Bill Freeman Norwood – The provincial government needs to make sure long-term care residents get a minimum of at least four hours of hands-on care a day, says the Ontario Health Coalition (OHC).

The Coalition’s “It’s Time to Care” Rocking Chair campaign stopped in Norwood, July 16 to press its case for minimum standards of care in long-term care homes and to advocate for a patient’s right to access a long-term care in the facility of their choice.

There has been no minimum standard regulations for 20 years, says Peter Boyle a volunteer with the OHC. Research indicates patients need at least four hours “touch time” a day, he says.

There are 80,000 long-term care pa-

tients in Ontario and in the Central East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) which includes Peterborough City and County there are 21,065 people on wait lists, the largest number in all 14 LHINs. The wait list to get into a facility near an individual’s home community is just as long, Boyle says. “[There has] been a chronic historic waiting list,” he said. “The government hasn’t taken this on yet and they need to.

That number doesn’t resonate I guess.”

There are “bigger issues looming,” says Boyle, with the baby boomer generation supplanting the war generation population; they will live longer but will have more acute needs.

“People stay in their homes longer.

By the time they go to a long-term care

home, the acuity of care they need is complex, higher. It’s like an iceberg, you can see the tip of the problem [but] there’s a lot hidden.”

“We desperately need change,” adds Tom Carruthers, chair of the Advisory Committee of Family Councils, a group that represents family councils at longterm care homes.

Lack of “touch time” is the number one issue for members across the province, says Carruthers.

“No provincial government over the last 20 years has taken this issue on,” says Boyle. “We need to get the government’s ear on this.”

Boyle says it’s “appalling and disrespectful” that residents are not provided “the care they deserve. The government should be ashamed.”

This young team of local riders is in Perry, Georgia, competing in the National Barrel Horse Association Youth World Championships. They include (from left) Eve Veldhuyzen, Norwood; Amy Newman, Warkworth; Jordyn Sexsmith, Napanee; Becky Murphy, Warkworth; and Morgan Murphy, Warkworth.

Local barrel racers saddled up for Youth World Championships

By Sue Dickens Warkworth – Racing at the National Barrel Horse Association Youth World Championships has been a dream of Warkworth barrel racers Amy Newman and her teammates for some time. Achieving the points they need to compete, the five riders received a community send-off hosted by the Percy Agricultural Society. The championships take place from July 16-23 in Perry, Georgia.

The riders include Amy Newman, Becky Murphy and Morgan Murphy, all from Warkworth, Eve Veldhuyzen from Norwood and Jordyn Sexmith from Napanee.

At the age of 14, Newman is a seasoned rider, having ridden since she was three years old.

“I’m just hoping for some clean runs and I just hope it all goes well,” she said calmly, while waiting to race in the recent Warkworth Western Weekend, a sanctioned National Barrel Horse Association (NBHA) and

Ontario Barrel Racing Association (OBRA) event.

Newman and her horse, Chicklets, have been racing together for years. Last year, however, the horse was injured, so family and friends stepped up with horses so she could continue competing.

“I first got Chicklets five years ago,” she said. “I didn’t buy her for barrel racing, she was actually an English jumping pony. The first couple of years, we just did pleasure riding, but the past three she just picked it up, and barrel racing is our thing.”

With the Youth World Championships now happening, Newman is excited — and a bit nervous.

“I am focused on not actually running,” she said. “You’ve just got to sit there and strategize what you are doing. Making sure you keep focused is one aspect, but you don’t want to overdo it; then you’re just over -thinking.”

Robson Acres will host Cattlemen’s barbecue

By Bill Freeman Peterborough County – The Robson family is set to host the 35th annual Peterborough County Cattlemen’s barbecue on July 31.

A huge tradition every summer, the barbecue at Robson Acres in Cavan-Monaghan Township is a celebration and showcase for area beef farmers and the people who enjoy the fresh beef local producers bring to market through their hard work. The event is also a fundraiser for the local firefighters association, as well as a charity of choice selected by the host family.

The Robsons also hosted the barbecue 25 years ago at their

250-acre farm.

Over the last four years, the barbecue has raised more than $20,000 through silent and live auctions.

This year’s event will support the Cavan Monaghan Fire Service and the Peterborough County Agricultural Heritage Building’s “Raise the Barn” campaign at Lang Pioneer Museum.

Activities begin at 3 p.m., with dinner between 5 and 6:30 p.m.

There is plenty of entertainment planned for the entire family, including music by Stockdale Central, a 4-H calf competition, silent and live auctions, children’s games, a “Make It Ontario Beef” tent

and plenty of door prizes.

“It’s a great way to educate people,” Cattlemen President Larry Jinkerson said at last year’s barbecue. “The better informed we keep our consumers, the better it is for us. Buy local is what we’re all about as well, and there is nothing like good Canadian beef. Local has become a lot more important the last few years and has a stronger connotation.”

Last year’s event at Murphy and Joan Baker’s farm in Asphodel-Norwood drew more than 700 guests and raised $4,200, split evenly between the Salvation Army and Asphodel-Norwood Firefighters.

Tickets for the all-you-caneat rotisserie-cooked beef din-

ner are $18 for adults, $7 for children aged five to 12 and free for kids under five. They are available from any Asso-

ciation member or by calling gmail.com 705-652-3596, 705-872-7460 Robson Acres is located at or 705-295-4745 or at peter- 1679 Zion Line in Cavanboroughcountycattlemen@ Monaghan.

“I‘m liking how this is start- Andy and Tara Robson and Larry Jinkerson, President of the Peterborough Cattlemen. Photo submitted ing to shape up,” Mayor Hector Macmillan said. “Most importantly, I‘m interested in hearing what the public has to say and what their suggestions are.”

The service delivery review can be viewed on the municipal website as well as at the municipal office and at the library.

The water and wastewater service adjustments are to be finalized by council July 7, with staff to then develop a plan for implementing the approved changes.

Phillips said residents can give their input any time on the services provided by the seven departments that are to be reviewed over the next 18 months.

“We‘d be happy to receive those comments,” she said, because “this is going to take some time to implement.”

Trent Hills – The municipality could save more than $100,000 a year by running the water pollution control plants in Campbellford and Hastings itself and making other changes in operations.

The options CAO Lynn Phillips presented June 21 are the first set of cost-saving measures proposed by staff under the service delivery review council requested last October.

The municipality currently pays the Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) $488,475 a year to operate the wastewater treatment plants. Phillips said if those operations were brought in-house, by hiring two licensed operators and transferring a position from the roads and urban services department to work in a combined water and wastewater department, the projected savings overall would be in the $50,000 to $100,000 range.

Further reductions in cost of $18,000 to $32,000 could be achieved by reducing or eliminating weekend checks by staff at the two water plants, and another $18,000 potentially by having two staff at most handle locates when work by non-municipal forces is to be done near water lines, sanitary and storm sewers, and streetlights.

Currently, that job is handled by two departments involving the use of two vehicles.

An additional $8,000 in savings could be achieved by outsourcing meter reading.

Trent Hills gave OCWA one year’s notice last December that the contract the agency has held for about 25 years might not be renewed at the end of 2016.

Phillips said a new organizational structure in charge of water and wastewater would enable the municipality to dedicate more resources to the wastewater collection system as well as establish a more reg-

The Bridge Hospice gets boost from area golfers

By Bill Freeman Norwood – Golfers, generous sponsors and Oakland Greens Golf and Country Club in Asphodel-Norwood pumped up the fun in fundraising at The Bridge Hospice charity golf tourney on Saturday, July 16.

Under perfect skies, a record number of foursomes took part in the “best ball” event. Golfers vied for prizes with skill-testing contests that produced more jokes than finesse.

Local pro golfer Dan Heffernan was shown no mercy in Beat the Pro. A silent auction, raffle and a chance to win a Chrysler 200 in a hole-in-one opportunity added to the excitement. Guests also enjoyed a delicious dinner

following the golf.

Now in its seventh year, the tournament is a vital fundraiser for The Bridge Hospice, which receives no government funding. The new venue at Oakland Greens welcomed longstanding participants and attracted new ones from club ranks.

Tournament organizers were thrilled with the community-minded club’s support throughout the event.

Michelle Simson, co-chair of the organizing committee, noted that 2016 is a year of firsts: the most hole sponsors, highest value of prizes donated, a first time at Oakland Greens and a lot of new faces.

“Our tournament reflects the growing recognition of

the role played by The Bridge Hospice,” said Simson. “It’s also a wonderful opportunity to reach out and connect to the communities it services.

We are very grateful for all the support.”

Located on Old Hastings Road in Warkworth, The Bridge Hospice serves Northumberland County and region providing a home where practical care, guidance and compassion are provided for those dying and those who support them.

The Bridge Hospice is Northumberland County’s first residential hospice. It officially opened in 2012, taking its first residents the following year. The hospice does not charge a fee for its service.

The Bridge Hospice in Warkworth held their seventh annual golf tournament fundraiser at Oakland Greens Golf Club in Asphodel-Norwood. One of the most coveted prizes was a Chrysler 200 courtesy of J.J. Stewart Motors in Norwood that was up for grabs as a hole-in-one award. In the photo are, left to right, Wayne Pearson of Campbellford Chrysler; Judy Kaufmann, board chair of fundraising; Michelle Simson, tourney organizing committee co-chair and Jill Hutcheon, chair of the board of directors.

Unexpected backyard oasis on garden tour

By Sue Dickens Campbellford – An unexpected backyard oasis will greet guests in this year’s 13th annual garden tour organized by the Campbellford and District Horticultural Society.

Jayne Patterson and her husband Jason will be showcasing the efforts of her family on their homestead, an oasis where she grew up in this town.

It has been home to five generations and dates back to 1895.

This is a home where her grandfather, James Owens Benor, was born, and her parents Carole and the late James Marvin Benor remained to continue the family tradition of what is described by the organizers of the tour as “a garden getaway on Grand Road.”

The Pattersons and their two children, Jaydyn, age 9, and Alexandria (Alex), age 7, live there with her mother, and they all have a hand at making sure the garden continues to flourish.

From the pond to the magical “cricket house” to arbors and a wooden swing, designed and built by the couple, the backyard feature everything from “great grandma’s orange poppies and purple cone flowers to dad’s tulips and lilies,” said Jayne. Now, it has more than 50 types of hostas.

“To us, it’s a collection,” said Jason.

“We spend the money on the hostas because of the varieties and because of the names and we always look at a five-year plant.”

The family chose to be one of the homes on the tour this year because, as he explained, “Truly, if Jayne’s dad was still alive, it is something he would want people to see. He worked really hard at this.”

Other homes on the tour can be

Havelock – Finding a “short term” fix to the chaotic parking situation along the Miles of Memories Road near Belmont Lake is crucial, Havelock-BelmontMethuen council says.

Parking along both sides of the road which leads to a public boat launch and swimming area on Belmont Lake has produced massive congestion, blocked private laneways and caused general concern, especially on weekends and holidays, and council wants to find some way to deal with it before an accident occurs.

There was a “huge influx”

of people there during the Victoria Day holiday weekend and councillors got an earful from residents telephoning to complain about the situation.

“It was pretty much a fight to get near the water down there,” said Mayor Ron Gerow.

“I don’t think we can ignore this. We need to at least get a short term solution. This is scary,” Gerow said. “It’s going to cause a huge problem down there that’s going to threaten public safety, and we’re going to have to find some solutions.”

Webb said there is “so much congestion” that drivers are parking their vehicles and trailers on both sides of the road near the crest of a hill that leads down towards the lake.

Hastings bridge requires repairs

By John Campbell Hastings – Plans are in place to repair the bridge in Hastings, which will affect traffic flow.

No, not the one that swings and was replaced by the federal government earlier this year, forcing motorists to take a lengthy detour around the village.

It’s the main bridge, where people fish from, and it is the responsibility of Northumberland County to maintain.

“Our intention was to do some work in conjunction with (Parks Canada’s) work but that couldn’t be coordinated,” director of transportation and waste Mo Pannu said.

Now the plan is to proceed with rehabilitation of the bridge “over the next

five years” but not to start in 2017.

“We know it was very hard for the area residents this year,” Pannu said, “so we don’t want to go back right away.”

The design of the project and the actual work will cost between $500,000 and $600,000, Pannu said.

The county has done some repairs where it was urgent that work be done, fixing some foundation cracks at a cost of about $60,000.

“The rest of it can wait for another three to five years,” Pannu said.

The work will include repairing spots where spalling – pitting or scaling – has occurred in the concrete.

“We won’t be closing the bridge totally,” Pannu said. “(There) will be at least one lane open all the time.”

Artists helping artists at Westben

Campbellford – Artists helping artists is the result of a Westben partnership with the Brain Injury Association, Peterborough Region which will help fundraise and give exposure to local talent on stage and off.

“This is Marilyn Keene’s brainstorm. She is head of Westben’s volunteers,” commented Donna Bennett, co-founder and marketing director.

Twenty-five artists from the area have painted wooden trays which were made by the Brain Injury Association’s clients, and they will be set up at every show this season in a live auction format so people can bid on a tray with the artwork of their choice.

“We just try to do something that involves the area with different artists together in one fundraising event,” explained Keene. A lot of the artists are patrons or volunteers of Westben and come from Belleville, Campbellford, Havelock, Norwood, Peterborough and Warkworth.

Klarissa Kocsis of Campbellford painted a tray and called her work “Lilacs”.

“Wood is so nice to work on,” she said, smiling. “It was fun, and I have found that flowers sell.”

Warkworth artist Peter Moore painted a golf course on his tray. His painting is called “The Masters.” He and his wife Janie were at the opening reception to launch the fundraiser this past Sunday.

“Westben picks something different to paint every year” he commented.

“I love the versatility. We think this is a great thing for the community.”

As Keene pointed out to the gathering of artists and friends of Westben at the launch, “It’s kind of ironic the money raised through your artistry goes to other artists at Westben to allow Westben to keep supporting music and the work of the musicians.”

Westben co-founder and artistic director Brian Finley spoke to the group as well, welcoming them to the event, which was to be followed by a show “Follow the Lieder – A Summer Schubertiad” celebrating the music of Franz Schubert.

‘It’s amazing the quality, the imagination, it just all sort of fits with what I love to see at Westben, a mix Joan Poole (left) from Cobourg, browsed through the 25 wooden trays featuring art by local artists as part of a fundraising project to raise money for of beautiful imagination and art,” Westben. “I think it’s a great idea,” she commented.

Trent Hills chamber setting up task force to advice on important issues

By John Campbell Trent Hills – The Trent Hills Chamber of Commerce is setting up a task force to advise its board on matters of special interest to the local business community.

The group will meet just once a year to provide “a snapshot of the issues that businesses face at the municipal, provincial and federal levels of government,” said Jeff Hamilton, chair of the chamber’s board of directors.

The task force will provide input through the chamber’s government relations and advocacy committee, which meets four to six times a year.

Its creation is part of the process the business organization begun last February to be accredited for the first time by the Chamber Accreditation Council of Canada, which recognizes chambers “that satisfy a set of high standards and practices – chambers that seek to stand out, that look to the future,” says the CACC. Accreditation involves being successfully evaluated by the accreditation council “against rigorous national standards of policy, service and performance.”

Non-board members are being invited to sit on the task force.

“We are having a great response,” said chamber executive director Nancy Allanson.

Their participation will help the chamber in its role as the voice of business to identify priorities it should follow in advocating on behalf of its 235 members.

“We want to be consistent in the approach that we take for the sustainability of the organization,” Allanson said.

“It’s also helping us provide better value in service and benefits to the members as well, by raising the level and quality of the work that we do here.”

She said the board “is really

excited about this new opportunity to engage more members in the policy process, and looking forward to working with this new committee and effecting some change,” by identifying issues and possibly coming up with solutions.

Chamber members were given until July 29 to submit their name to be part of the task force. The organization must have a plan for achieving a two-year accreditation ready for the CACC by midSeptember.

Approximately 75 chambers across Canada have been accredited, 33 in Ontario.

Ivanhoe Storm goes for gold first year out

By Diane Sherman Ivanhoe - A team of eleven young men, 16 years and under, wanted more competition on the ball field, over and above minor league play in Centre Hastings.

Three coaches in the area felt it was time to pull together a Bantam team to register with the Ontario Amateur Softball Association (OASA), and so it was done.

Coaches Steven Needham, Ben Bird and Jamie McCann picked Dyson Cassidy, Tyrone Jenkins and Sean Kim from Tweed, Elijah Brahaney and Caleb Outred from Campbellford and Les Brownson from Marmora to join Jordan Tait, Trevor Simpson, Jager Needham, Curtis Bird and Kurt McCann of Madoc to form the Ivanhoe Storm.

This is a fast game, with hardhitting youth at their finest, and

pitchers whizzing the ball over home plate like pros.

Sponsored by Orica Canada of Madoc and K.G.Reid of Belleville. the Ivanhoe team has taken the OASA by ‘storm’, qualifying on the July long weekend as one of two Ontario teams to go to the Eastern Canadian Softball Championships in Conception Bay, Newfoundland on August 25-28.

They will play teams from Quebec, Prince Edward Island, and New Brunswick for the gold medal.

Team treasurers, Tara McCann and Heather Needham are organizing the trip. Both agree the success of the team “has happened so fast.”

“We weren’t prepared for travelling so far,” Needham said, “so we have to raise funds to get there.”

McCann says players and their families will make the three-day drive, which means

needing accommodation along the way, or fly if they can.

“Either way, we have to raise funds,” they said.

On Saturday, July 23, there will be a barbecue at Madoc Foodland and a bottle drive in both Ivanhoe and the municipal parking lot behind Mac’s Milk in Madoc They have a call-out for teams to join a three-pitch tournament at the Ivanhoe ball park on July 24, complete with 50/50 draws and more bottle collections.

They are willing to pick up bottles and cans. Call 613-8485135 to contribute.

Trent Hills teens to play for Eastern Canadian softball title in Newfoundland

By John Campbell Trent Hills – One season after playing organized softball for the first time, Elijah Brahaney and Caleb Outred will be heading to Newfoundland next month to play in the Eastern Canadian Softball U16 boys Championship.

They’ll be going to Conception Bay as members of the Ivanhoe Storm, which qualified for the championship by placing fifth with a 2-2 record at an Ontario Amateur Softball Association elimination tournament held earlier this month in Napanee.

“It was really awesome qualifying,” said Brahaney, who plays second base and catcher. “I’m really excited to go play with my friends Trent Hills teenagers Elijah Brahaney, on the left, and Caleb Outred are excited their team, the Ivanhoe Storm, there and have a chance to represent will play in the Eastern Canadian U16 Softball Championship Aug. 25-28 in Newfoundland.

Campbell Outred, a centre fielder, said it will

be “a good experience” as well as an honour to play in a championship against “a lot of good teams.

It’s going to be good ball there.”

Both boys are also looking forward to visiting Newfoundland for the first time.

Brahaney will be going with his father, Kevin, while Outred will be making the trip with his mother, Alison Summerfeldt, and his grandparents.

The two 15-year-olds played for Campbellford’s peewee team last year, and joined Ivanhoe this season when Campbellford couldn’t field a bantam squad.

“I was just really fortunate to be a part of it, because last year we didn’t have the greatest team, and just to be on this team, I feel really lucky,” Brahaney said. “It’s a really great bunch of guys who started to play good together.”

The team made its debut in May, with all but two of its players being first-year bantam, but it ended up “playing really good at the right time” to earn a spot at Eastern Canadian championships, Brahaney said.

The Storm almost qualified to play in the Canadian championship at the Napanee tournament in which the top three teams and the host team advanced to compete for the national title.

Needing a win its last game, Ivanhoe yielded the winning run in the bottom of the seventh and lost 5-4 against Kitchener-Waterloo after erasing a 3-0 deficit to take a 4-3 lead.

Kitchener-Waterloo tied it in the sixth before going on to win.

Ivanhoe plays in a league that includes Ennismore, Cobourg and Napanee. Its record so far is 9-3.

Empey Tire) led the opening 19 laps with a full straightaway advantage over Purchase. The battle appeared to be for second, as Purchase defended the runnerup spot from rookie Austin Reid (No.85 Kids R Kool) and Anderson.

Everything changed on lap 19 as Ramsay encountered lapped traffic. With Carissa Burrows (No.02 7&25 Tire) set to go one lap down, Ramsay made contact with the slower car at the bottom of turn one, sending the leader spinning in to the middle of the track.

That gave the lead to Purchase, who raced side-by-side with Reid on the restart. The race was slowed for the second and final time on lap 21 for a piece of metal debris on the front stretch.

With Anderson in second, Purchase had to be flawless around the bottom of the track and was just that to claim the win. Anderson, Reid, Brandon Murrell and Jonah Mutton completed the topfive.

Toms earns first career victory Luke Toms (No.19 Gardenhill Towing) engineered his thirdplace starting spot in to his first

career win during the Bill’s Johns Comp 4 main event. Toms wasted little time making his move up front, taking front row starters Matthew Moore (No.14 Farl’s Auto Body) and Adam Flieler (No.11 Double D Sports Bar) three-wide down the backstretch.

Toms led the opening lap and never relinquished the point position in a caution-free 15-lap main event. Flieler and Moore battled side-by-side for second in the opening five laps until Flieler settled in to the position.

At the halfway mark, a threewide battle for third developed between Moore, point leader Tyler French (No.0 Empey Tire) and Peter Moore (No.17 Sherry’s Pet Grooming). French eventually emerged with the spot after an extended battle between the three drivers.

With two laps to go, Toms held an indestructible 10-car length advantage over Flieler. French couldn’t reel in Flieler for the second spot before the checkered flag and finished third ahead of Peter Moore and Matthew Moore.

When the field came back to green, Ferguson maintained the point position with Handley still in hot pursuit. The tightest battle on the track was for third between Shawn Gregory (No.1 PartSource), Josh Hennessy (No.88 A&A Haulage) and Andrew Hennessy (No.87 RJ Equipment).

Ferguon’s lead was as large as 0.6 seconds on lap 20, but Handley couldn’t get much closer and was forced to settle for second at the checkers. Gregory, Josh Hennessy and Andrew Hennessy completed the top-five following a thrilling side-by-side battle for third.

Ferguson avenges motor problems with third win Bloomfield’s Dan Ferguson (No.11) recovered from a blown motor one week ago with the best dose of medicine possible: a trip to victory lane. After last week’s misfortune, Ferguson started on the pole and led all 25 laps in the Bainer’s OilGARD Canadian Modified A-Main to claim his third win of the season.

Despite Ferguson’s presence up front all race, the win did not come uncontested. Kraig Handley (No.91 Tri-Canadian Energy) started second after his own basketful of misfortune one-week prior and challenged Ferguson all race long.

Following a lap two restart, Ferguson and Handley broke away from the rest of the field until a caution at the halfway mark when Derrick Greig (No.48 Greig Truck and Trailer) and Derek Bowers (No.03 Competition Motors) came together in turn three.

Reluctant Tweed Fair hero would ‘do it all again’

By Melyssa Gloude

Tweed – “I’m just an average guy that did what anyone would do – look out for everyone else. That’s the God-honest truth.”

These humble words come from 51-year-old Calvin Stein: the Madoc native being heralded as the quick-thinking saviour of a threeyear-old girl from Tweed, who was nearly trampled by a team of ponies during the annual Tweed Agricultural Fair twp weekends ago.

Stein was not so lucky. The girl was hurled to safety by the softspoken Madoc farmer, but Stein wound up under the hooves of the stampeding team of pull ponies.

It has been reported the team that broke free were horses – even draft horses – but, in fact, fair officials say it was a team of ponies, shod with special shoes for grip in the front and rear of the shoe.

“It all started on Saturday during the horse pulls. The first class was in the ring and I was getting my team ready to pull,” said Stein in an interview with Metroland Media.

“We were standing around, talking about a horse that I was looking to purchase and then the excitement started down in the ring.”

Stein, a line supervisor for Hydro One, runs a cash-cropping operation with his brother. He says that he’s had a tremendous amount of experience with horses and ponies over the years – experience which made him able to act quickly during the incident on Saturday.

“I saw the team run, and they unfortunately got away. That’s the key; it was a very unfortunate accident. They got away from the gentleman, ran into the front of a vehicle, and then they turned and came running down the track.”

It was Steins’ quick-thinking, coupled with experienced intuition that led to the rescue of the three-yearold girl from the path of the running ponies.

“I saw them coming. I could read them; me knowing horses, my first instinct was to try to catch them, so I started running toward them,” says Stein.

“I saw the father standing there with three kids, standing side-byside. I started yelling and screaming. The father had two kids by the hand and the third one was standing there, oblivious to what was going on, just enjoying the fair.”

Amidst the chaos, Stein made a quick decision to throw the young girl out of harm’s way.

“I basically grabbed her, and I turned. I knew that the horses were close to me, so I threw the girl,” he said.

“I remember there was a car and a trailer, and I threw her toward that, hoping I didn’t hit the trailer. As soon as she left my hands, the team hit me.”

Stein describes the moments after the rescue as blurry.

“The team knocked me down – I got a hoof print right in the middle of my back and at that point, everything went warm and I felt no pain,” says Stein.

“I did a complete flip in the air. I remember my feet being above my head and then I landed face first and shoulder first into the ground. I went limp. I couldn’t breathe.”

Though the injuries sustained were non life-threatening, Stein did not come out of the incident anywhere near unharmed.

“I looked at my hand – with my left eye, because my right eye was just mangled – and I saw a pool of blood and heard everybody

scream,” says Stein.

“At that point, I honestly thought that was it. I thought, well, if this is how Calvin’s gonna croak, this is how Calvin is gonna croak.”

For his efforts, Stein sustained a broken nose, multiple facial stitches, a concussion and a broken right orbital socket. According to his attending optometrist, the fate of the vision in the right eye is unknown – but Stein is optimistic.

Stein says he credits his own quick rescue to fair attendees Sherry Baker – who was showing cattle – and retired nurse, Sue McConnell.

“They both came over and kept me sane, conscious and talking until EMS got there.”

“They pried the eye open; I could see light, I could see colour. They’re very optimistic that the trauma will heal. If it comes down to it and I have to wear glasses to see, I would consider that pretty minor.”

Stein refused a trip to Kingston General Hospital for treatment, instead insisting he be take to nearby Belleville General Hospital instead.

He spoke for this interview from his home.

Though many are hailing Stein a hero for his bravery and quickthinking, the man of the hour says that he politely disagrees.

“I’m not a hero. The real heroes are the men and women in our Canadian Forces, the men and women of our police forces, and the men and women of our emergency services.”

When asked if he would reconsider his actions if he had the chance, Stein had this to say: “I was asked, would I do it again?

The answer is that I’d do it again in a heartbeat.”

The family of the three-year-old could not be reached for comment,

Pride Parade and Pride in the Park returns Saturday

Pride Week in Belleville is underway and activities culminate on Saturday, July 23 with the Pride Parade and the Pride in the Park Festival.

Belleville Pride Week has quickly become one of Hastings and Prince Edward counties’ most colourful and dynamic summer events, its organizers say. The events are an opportunity to celebrate the LGBTQ2s (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transitioning, questioning, twospirited) community.

Due to construction in downtown Belleville, there’s a new parade route this year.

Parade participants will meet at 11 a.m. on Saturday at the Belleville Fairgrounds (at the corner of Bridge and Sidney Streets.) The parade will travel south on Sidney and then east on Dundas, before it turns south on Bay Bridge Road and into West Zwick’s Island Park, for Pride in the Park, running from 12 noon to 4 p.m.

Pride festivities end with an event called Pump on Saturday night.

It will feature a great evening of cocktails, dancing and a superb drag show. The event takes place at the Belle Pub at 310 Front St., start-

ing at 9 p.m.

Tickets are $15 at the door and $10 for students. It’s described as a “no labels, all abilities 18 + event.”

MPP Todd Smith to seek re-election in new Bay of Quinte riding Bloomfield – Conservative MPP Todd Smith will seek re-election in the new Bay of Quinte riding.

Smith, currently in his second term as the Member of Provincial Parliament for the Prince-Edward Hastings riding, made the announcement at a gathering of local Progressive Conservative Party members at Terra Cello Winery in Bloomfield on July 14.

The Prince Edward-Hastings riding is being eliminated for the next provincial election in 2018.

By then, provincial riding boundaries in the area will be the same as federal riding boundaries. A new riding of Bay of Quinte – which will cover Belleville, Quinte West and Prince Edward County – will be created.

Hastings County residents, north of

Highway 401 will be part of a new Hastings-Lennox & Addington riding.

This meant Smith had a decision to make.

“This decision was a tough one,” Smith said in a statement. “The last five years representing Hastings and Prince Edward counties has given me a sense of appreciation for every community and each constituent I met. The closer I got to this decision, the less I wanted to make it.”

Smith, a resident of Quinte West, added, “part of my decision making was the many people in the area who have urged me to run in Bay of Quinte in 2018. I spend a lot of time in the Trenton-area and have many good friends who live and work in Quinte West. I’ve been engaged in the ongoing issues with Tren-

ton Memorial Hospital and have great relationships with officials and staff at the region’s largest employer, CFB Trenton.”

Smith joked one of his most difficult political decisions to come will occur on Friday nights when he has to choose between wearing his Wellington Dukes jersey or sport his Trenton Golden Hawks sweater.

As an Opposition MPP, Smith has been assisting residents concerned with Liberal decision-making over the past two years but he said his main priority is to continue to be a strong voice for Prince Edward-Hastings in the Ontario Legislature up until the next election.

Meanwhile, Progressive Conservative Party members in Hastings-Lennox & Addington are expected to hold an open nomination in the near future to decide who will carry the party banner for them in the next provincial election.

“I look forward to seeing the next generation of leadership that HastingsLennox & Addington decides to nominate for 2018. This is an opportunity for new voices to come to the table and help change the future of our province.”

Smith concluded.

Level 2 low water status confirmed

Near drought-like conditions have made it official – the status of water levels in the region is dire.

After several weeks of cautions about low water levels, Quinte Conservation officials have proclaimed a Level 2 notice, the middle of three stages, for low water level concerns and one more serious level up from the previous level warning.

Low water conditions are ranked as Level 1, 2 or 3 based on a prolonged period of low flows or precipitation. A Level 1 is the least severe and Level 3 is the most severe.

As a result, Quinte Conservation is calling for a 20 per cent reduction in all unnecessary water usage such as lawn watering and washing of driveways and sidewalks, with a special warning to well users to be extra cautious.

The authority first announced a low water problem early in June as lower flow levels in local rivers and normal rainfall amounts had been observed.

The Level 2 status was issued earlier this month when Christine McClure, Water Resources Manager for Quinte Conservation, repeated a 50-per cent reduction in normal rainfall for the past three months, sharply reduced flow levels in the Moira, Salmon and Napanee Rivers and noticeable lower levels in area waters.

Quinte CA brings wildlife to youngsters

By Jack Evans From reptiles to water creatures to falcons, Quinte Conservation is trying to whet young people’s interest in and knowledge of local flora and fauna in a project called ‘Wild About Wildlife,” coming to Belleville, Wellington, Madoc and Napanee over the next while.

The first such event by conservation authority education staff will be at Wellington on Wednesday, Aug. 3, followed by Belleville, at Riverside Park, on Thursday, Aug. 4, then Napanee on Aug. 5 and finally Madoc on Aug. 7.

The program will be the same at each of the sessions, starting with a lesson on how to make a paper pot and bring home a wildflower for bees and but-

terflies. Kids can also meet live falcons and learn about raptors, (birds of prey) and wade in rivers and streams for water bugs and creek critters.

“Learn about your watershed” with the local watershed’s model follows with “invasive species that live in our area,” and “create art in nature as a craft,” and finally live interactive display with the Ontario Reptiles-at-Risk

agency.

Sponsored by Union Gas and Biodiversity Education and Awareness Network, the program is offered at no charge to participants, but the authority asks that every child be accompanied by an adult. The program runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at each of the four locations.

Maya Navrot, conservation education

co-ordinator, says, ”We are expecting a great turnout for this year’s Wildlife Days. These are great opportunities for families to get outdoors and learn about our natural surroundings, explore their environment and learn about fascinating creatures through hands-on interactive activities.”

Fences are surfaces, the hooks are gardener’s showpiece: the surfaces: the mobiles, hanging kitsch and flower plants are carefully chosen baskets are chattel. for their surroundings, they Here’s an easy example: the Japanese maple share, mostly, a common anchoring the shade garden by the pool is a palette, and there are a few fixture; the Japanese maple in a decorative pot eclectic surprises tucked sitting beside the pool is a chattel.

everything black and white.

Of course, not everything is black and white or even brown and green. There is plenty of room for negotiations in this regard. In my sister’s case, it is reasonable to assume that the quality and content of the grounds was an important factor in the purchaser’s decision. (I should also point out that brother-in-law is a dab hand at construction and the interior is a dream.) The garden should stay. So how does she take it with her? Cuttings and divisions is one way to get the smaller items. The larger items, shrubs and trees, which are planted into the ground (or permanent raised beds) stay unless specifically....

That rose bush goes because it will be replaced

with a similar rose bush of similar size thus maintaining the integrity of the garden. There will be a chat between outgoing and incoming homeowners to make sure this agreed upon.

The absolutely spectacular globe blue spruce standard, which is relatively easy to transplant despite its apparent size- 5’ by 5’ on a 3’ stemhas to stay. In anticipation of the move, sister and brother-in-law have been to the nursery to pick out new plants. Those are currently in their backyard, in their original pots with the price tags still on them. It is very clear that these plants are not part of the current grounds. No question: they go with the furniture when the big truck shows up.

TRAVEL

A Summertime visit to Grand County, Colorado

By John M. Smith

On a past visit to Colorado, I not only enjoyed exploring Rocky Mountain National Park, which I’ve already written about, but I also found myself emerging from the park’s west side, at Grand Lake, and then exploring Grand County. I soon discovered that Grand County was rather aptly named, for it’s indeed a large, intriguing, grand area that offers a great variety of places to stay and things to do for the entire family.

I discovered that the touristy town of Grand Lake, located next to the western entrance to the park, is itself a very picturesque lakeside destina-

Got Events?

tion, with a nice beach, hotels, shops, restaurants, and a vibrant theatre (the Rocky Mountain Repertory Theatre). There’s also a rather enchanting tour of the lake, Colorado’s largest natural lake, available via a one hour cruise, and I, of course, decided to do that. I passed several impressive lakeside homes, including a boathouse with a party room built above it, with accompanying traffic lights: green for “come join the party” and red for “stop/ leave”.

The most popular destination in Grand County, however, would probably be Winter Park, with its Winter Park Resort, for it offers a plethora of activities for all family members, including a challenging 18-hole putting course, a climbing wall, GyroXtreme (a Leaps & Bounds Bungee), Colorado’s longest alpine slide (which I just had to try!), and many miles of hiking and downhill mountain biking trails (after all, it’s often referred to as “The Mountain Biking Capital of the U.S.A.” , and it’s home to the nation’s premier bike park, Trestle Bike Park).

I decided to use Winter Park ReNEW sort as my base for ! my county exploration, for it offers a great variety of

accommodations, and the village has plenty of restaurants and shops right there. I stayed in a condo at the base of the Zephyr Express, the ski lift that leads to the mountain activities, and it was particularly fascinating to watch the mountain bikes being placed on one ski lift chair, with the mountain bikers themselves just behind in the next, and then they’d be taken to the top before deciding on which particular trail to take to plummet back down! I also enjoyed going up the Zephyr Express myself and then photographing these daredevils on their descents. After all, I’ve been known to have done some mountain biking myself, and I was out here a few years ago to cover what’s now known as the “Colorado Freeride Festival”, a huge BMX event.

I decided to take a drive to explore much more of the county, and I’d recommend taking an incredible loop tour of a large section of this county by using both Highway 40 and the Colorado River Headwaters National Scenic Byway between Kremmling and Granby. This latter road is gravel, and meant to be driven at a much slower, more relaxed pace, but it offers some incredible vistas, particularly in Byers Canyon, where I watched a train traversing the rugged landscape (yet another enticing way to explore this region). While on this loop tour, I also stopped at the Bar Lazy J Ranch near Parshall, a popular guest ranch that offers all-inclusive weekly packages, including meals, fishing, hiking, and horseback riding. I was told about one particular lady who came here on vacation from Toronto a few years ago, and she has returned every year since.

used them for their horses and dogs, too! This facility now offers lodging, if you wish, along with a relaxing soak in its therapeutic hot mineral springs.

Grand County also offers whitewater rafting opportunities (on the thrilling Colorado River), hot air balloon tours (www.grandadventureballoon.com), a summer tubing hill at Snow Mountain Ranch, zip-lining at the luxurious Devil’s Thumb Ranch & Spa, several rodeos, and four golf courses (the high altitude even makes for longer drives!). Indeed, Colorado’s Grand County certainly offers a great variety of activities, accommodations, and places to see – and there’s Rocky Mountain National Park right there, too.

at Hot Sulphur Springs, for I found a wonderful museum here, the Pioneer Village Museum, and it provided me with a lot of the history of the area. I also toured the original county courthouse, an old jail, and a blacksmith shop (with its sod roof). Furthermore, I learned about the beginnings of the ski industry in this area, and I checked out the museum’s very informative skiing display, too.

While in Hot Sulphur Springs, I also visited the Hot Sulphur Springs Resort and Spa, for here I found a series of hot springs and pools, of varying temperatures and sizes, and they’ve been in continuous operation here for well over a hundred years. In fact, I learned that the Ute Indians used to heal mind, body, and spirit by relaxing in these sacred waters – and they also

Quinte West Sports Wall of Fame inducts 40 new members

By Erin Stewart Trenton – More than 300 people celebrated Quinte West Sports Wall of Fame’s 8th Annual Induction Ceremony at the Quinte West YMCA on Saturday, July 9.

This year the Quinte West Sports Wall of Fame committee inducted 11 athletes, 28 builders - members of the community who have contributed an outstanding effort to direct athletes in a leadership position - and one team was also inducted.

“The experience was amazing, it was great, it really was,” said inductee Jake Ridder.

Ridder was inducted as a builder for his outstanding contribution to hockey in Quinte West over the past 40 years and also his efforts with the Trenton Curling Club.

He has coached hundreds of young hockey players of all ages in Trenton and hopes to continue coaching next season. In 2011, Ridder was named convenor and coach of Trenton Curling Club’s Junior Rocks program and he received the club’s outstanding member of the year award in 2010-2011.

Ridder said it was special seeing his photo up on the Quinte West Sports Wall of Fame at the YMCA. “That kind of blows me away,” he said. “I’m in awe of that, that they would consider me worthy of that, it’s great.”

Sue Korver was also inducted to the sports wall of fame as a builder. Korver was always stepping up to the plate to take on leadership roles when she was needed, starting with minor softball in 1990, fundraising for the Frank-

ford & District Minor Hockey and managing the canteen in Frankford for minor hockey.

“I just kept rolling along and I enjoyed every minute of it, it’s for the kids, it’s always for the kids,” said Korver. “If I thought I could do a good job I volunteered, if I didn’t think I could do the job I stepped back and talked somebody else into taking the position.”

Korver was president of the Eastern Ontario Minor Hockey League from 2005-2011, acquired the trainers certificate to assist during hockey games on the bench and she also became involved in the Marmora Snofest and dog sled races.

She said she was thrilled to be inducted at this year’s ceremony.

“It was nice to see my face up on the wall and I hope that lots of people will see it and go ‘Oh, well if she can do it I can do it,’” said Korver. “I was pleased that people thought I had done enough because there’s always a little inkling of doubt.”

This year’s championship team inductee was the Diverscare Grandmasters Provincial Championship 2015 Trenton Curling Club.

Bill Huffman, member of the Quinte West Sports Wall of Fame Committee, said they have now expanded onto a third wall at the YMCA with a total of 77 athletes, 151 builders and 73 teams now inducted into the sports wall of fame, along the perimeter of the gymnasium.

Huffman said he spent more than six months researching athletes from the 1940’s, 1950’s and early 1960’s for this year’s induction ceremony because he kept finding new infor-

mation and additional athletes while looking through old newspaper articles.

“It’s rewarding when you see it on the wall,” he said. “It’s rewarding when someone comes over and just says thank you and then you

know it’s all worth while.”

Huffman said the committee thought the ceremony was an outstanding success with positive feedback and he’s already started on researching inductees for next year.

Writer and teacher shares his life at Ah! Poetry series

By Sue Dickens Warkworth – Gary Walters came to Hastings with his partner Peter after living in Montreal and Uxbridge.

He brought with him his talents as an artist, writer and teacher to appear at Ah! Arts and Heritage Centre in Warkworth as part of their poetry series.

The event, called Gary Walters, An Illustrated Reading, will take place Sunday, July 24, at 2 p.m. at the Centre, located at 33 Church St. Walters will read excerpts from his books “Fuentes” and the “Shock of Parting”.

In 2001, Walters and his partner bought an old farmhouse in Hastings. There was a studio and, in the ensuing years, Walters created a lot of art and published quite a few books of poetry.

An artist who has his BFA, MFA and Ph.D from Princeton University, he did his doctorate in art and archeology. He taught at McGill, Concordia and Carleton universities and was a visiting professor at the

Institute for Fine Arts in Denpassar, Bali, Indonesia.

The couple made yearly visits to Southeast Asia, eventually abandoning their jobs in 1972 to travel for a year. This trip, much of which was spent in India, they described as “transformative”.

In 2013, Peter broke his hip in a fall in Bangkok, and this drastically worsened his advancing Lewy Body disease, a type of dementia. He has been in long-term care in Cobourg since their return from Thailand.

Much of Walters’s recent writing and art has been about how this has resulted in a drastic change in their lives. Art, travel, dementia, love and grief are all part of his reading.

Poet, writer and teacher Gary Walters of Hastings will be sharing his life experiences through readings from his books “Fuentes” and the “Shock of Parting.” The event is called Gary Walters, An Illustrated Reading and it will take place Sunday, July 24, at 2 p.m. at the Ah! Arts and Heritage Centre in Warkworth. Photo submitted

Dirt hits the Old Church in Quinte West A church may be the perfect place to experience an acclaimed, edgy, darkly comic, meditation on betrayal and mortality. Almost. Perfect if the church was now a licensed venue, a beautiful performance space, and the play was ‘Handful of Dirt,’ a piece the Ottawa Citizen called a ‘Bright light of the Fringe’.

Well, you’re in luck.

Written and directed by, now local, award-winning writer Konrad Doerrbecker, ‘Handful of Dirt’ is being revived, updated and presented at Trenton’s own Old Church Theatre, home of the Roy Bonisteel Studio, from July 28 - 30. It features Richard Turtle, Matt Sheahan, Brian Weston, Mihal Zada, Jeff Durish, Victoria Farrell and Francine Bouma as friends, relatives and acquaintances of an ordinary middle aged man who has just died in a, seemingly ordinary way.

A collage of stark imagery, black humour, surprising plot twists and innovative staging, the play takes the audience on an emotional and thought provoking ride. “Hopefully”, Doerrbecker says, “the audience will laugh, cry, gasp and then have a great conversation on the way home.”

Doerrbecker says that the play was inspired by the classic ’50s Japanese film Rashamon, where the same story is told by the different people involved. “It’s a complicated puzzle portrait of a man that reveals itself speech by speech, mask by mask and relationship by relationship,” Doerrbecker says.

Dramatic and stark, grainy black and white images provide the background and comment on the story as it develops.

Producer Lesley Bonisteel says it’s the type of play she wants to present. “We want to develop a reputation for new edgy innovative theatre pieces here,” Bonisteel says. “It’s the start of a new series we plan to roll out over the next while”.

Handful of Dirt starts Thursday, July 28 and continues through to Saturday, July 30 at 940 Bonisteel Rd. All shows are at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at oldchurch.ca or phone A play called A Handful of Dirt features a collage of stark imagery, black humour, surprising plot twists and innovative staging.
