Tweed – It was a small town, big event, family friendly street party, eat fest to celebrate Canada’s sesquicentennial. Preparations began at 6:30 a.m., for the 4 to 7 p.m. event. Fifteen hundred ate dinner together on tables set along a full block of Metcalf Street.

Tickets for the July 22 “once-ina-generation chance to celebrate our community, our agriculture, and our heritage,” were sold out early.

The feast included roasting five pigs, five hips of beef, 50 chickens and 1,000 sausages. There were 2,500 servings of dessert, 1,000 cobs of corn, and gigantic bowls of salads and vegetables. At day’s end, all the pork, beef and desserts were gone.

The party cost of $32,000 was covered by an Ontario 150 grant.

Tickets were $5 each and Metcalf Street residents and children under five ate free. Everyone received a plate, plastic dinnerware and a handmade Canada 150 place mat created by a Tweed elementary student.

Dinner seconds were unlimited and the servers worked hard to keep up.

This was a family event. Music played, children ran about on the street between the tables and some did cartwheels. A young boy played guitar. Others played pat-a-cake under the trees. Everyone knew everyone (almost). Adults hugged and talked and danced and shared smiles in lineups.

“This was a ‘wow!’ event because you cannot describe it in words,” said Tweed Mayor Jo-Anne Albert.

TWEED FEAST FOR 1,500 Continued from Page 1

In the July 13 edition of the Central Hastings News, we incorrectly identified Aubrie Brant as the little girl holding a black rat snake at a special ‘Wild About Wildlife’ event at Tweed Memorial Park.

Shown here is, in fact, Aubrie who was quite content and interested in holding the large but harmless snake.

The Central Hastings News regrets the error.

Tweed – Police here said a drunken man wielding a golf club and threatening neighbours with it was arrested.

Police said Thursday, July 13, at 11:18 pm members of Central Hastings O.P.P were called to take care of a situation where an intoxicated man was threatening people with a golf club at a rural home in the municipality.

Investigation revealed that a property owner was asked to turn down their music. The property owner, said police, was intoxicated at the time and left his property and threatened those who had complained about the music with a golf club.

Police have charged 38-year-old Ian Punab of Tweed with uttering threats to cause bodily harm and possession of a dangerous weapon, the golf club. Punab was released on an undertaking and promise to appear in an Ontario Provincial Court of Justice in Belleville in August.

MEDICAL OXYGEN FIRE SAFETY How Do I Prevent an Oxygen Related Fire?

What's the Risk?

Oxygen users must take precautions because anything that burns (such as clothing, carpets, drapes, furniture, etc.) will burn much faster and at a higher temperature in the presence of oxygen, if a flame or spark is present.

•

Do not smoke or let anyone else smoke where medical oxygen is in use or stored. There is NO safe way to smoke in the home when oxygen is in use. This includes all types of tobacco and non-tobacco smoking products including electronic cigarettes.

•

•

Spark or friction-generating equipment such as friction toys, grinding tools, electric shavers, hair dryers, etc. should not be used while using oxygen or in the presence of the oxygen equipment.

Oxygen saturates fabric covered furniture, clothing, hair and bedding, making it easier for a fire to start and spread quickly.

Smoking materials are the leading heat source resulting in medical oxygen related fires, injuries or deaths in Ontario.

Post NO SMOKING signs - one at the entrance to a home and one in the room where the oxygen equipment is in use and/or stored.

•

Keep oxygen cylinders at least 1.5 metres (5 feet) from a heat source, open flames or electrical devices.

•

Candles, stoves, matches, woodstoves or any device with an open flame can be ignition sources and should not be used in the home.

•

Body oil, hand lotion and items containing oil and grease can easily burn.

Keep oil and grease away where oxygen is in use.

•

Petroleum jelly, oily lotions, face creams, or hair products should not be used when using oxygen. Keep hands oil-free when handling oxygen equipment.

•

Aerosol sprays containing combustible materials should not be used near oxygen equipment or while using oxygen.

OPINION

Flag is nice, but where are lifeguards?

No peace yet in Iraq or Syria The shooting was still going on down by the river last week when Iraq’s Prime Minister Haider alAbadi dropped by and prematurely declared that the battle for Mosul was over.

He was misled by the Iraqi army, Gwynne Dyer various police and militia units who were competing with one another to declare victory first, but now it really is over – and there is little left of Mosul.

The siege began on October 17 of last year, so it lasted nine months – longer than the Battle of Stalingrad. It probably killed more civilians, too, because the US-led air forces were used to compensate for the shortage of trained and motivated Iraqi ground forces.

Individual ISIS snipers were regularly taken out by air strikes that levelled entire buildings. Life is returning to some of the east-bank suburbs that were retaken last year, but there is nothing to go back to in the oldest part of the city on the west bank, where ISIS made its last stand. And the level of destruction has been almost as high in a lot of other cities.

The Sunni Arab communities of Iraq and Syria are shattered and scattered. The mixed Sunni-Shia neighbourhoods of Baghdad were mostly “cleansed” of their Sunni residents in the civil war of 2006-08. Even Sunni-majority cities in Iraq that were taken back from ISIS a couple of years ago, like Ramadi and Fallujah, are still largely deserted, with few signs of reconstruction.

Not many of the estimated 900,000 people in refugee camps around Mosul, almost all Sunni Arabs, will be going home soon either.

And in Syria, the eastern side of Aleppo, Syria’s biggest city, fell last December after a four-year siege. It now contains a few tens of thousands of people rattling around.

Raqqa, ISIS’s capital in Syria, will be largely destroyed in the next few months, and after that it will be the turn of Deir-es-Zor. The calamity that began in 2003, when the US invasion of Iraq overthrew the centurieslong Sunni rule over a mostly Shia country, has reached its final phase.

There can be no come-back for the Sunni Arabs of Iraq, who only make up one-fifth of the country’s 36 million people. They have been ruined by their long complicity with Sunni minority rule of the country, first un-

der the Turkish empire, latterly under Sunni tyrants like Saddam Hussein, and finally by their reluctant, desperate support for ISIS. Some, maybe most, will remain in the country, but not as equal citizens.

The Sunni Arabs of Syria will not suffer the same fate, for they are fully 60 percent of that country’s population, but their current situation is appalling. They were very unwise to throw their lot in with ISIS and al-Qaeda – which most of the Sunni fighters in Syria did in the end, though it is impolitic to say so in public – and they are now paying a heavy price for that mistake.

In the longer run, however, Syria’s Sunni Arab majority will have to be reintegrated into the general society.

There’s at least another year’s fighting against ISIS and al-Qaeda-linked forces in Syria before reconciliation can even begin.

There may be much more than a year’s fighting before the Kurds are subjugated again in Syria and Turkey.

They are out of the box now, controlling almost all of the Kurdish-majority parts of northern Syria and many rural areas in southeastern Turkey. Since Turkey’s President Recep Tayyib Erdogan re-started the war against Turkey’s Kurds two years ago, they have even taken control of some parts of the Kurdish-majority big cities in the south-east – and bits of them look like Syria’s devastated cities.

As for Iraq’s Kurds, it may prove impossible to put them back in the box at all.

Thanks to the collapse of the Iraqi army three years ago, when ISIS overran much of the country in a fortnight, the Kurdish Regional Government now rules over all the traditionally Kurdish areas of Iraq. It is effectively an independent country, and it has scheduled a referendum for September to make that official.

Iraq’s government will fight that, of course, but unless the United States is willing to bomb the Kurds the way it bombed ISIS, Baghdad is unlikely to win. The Iraqi army couldn’t even have retaken Mosul without the lavish use of US air power.

Washington is much more likely to betray the Syrian Kurds, but unless it does, they too will probably manage to keep their de facto state within a nominally reunited Syria.

(Turkey would be happy to crush them for free, but the Syrian regime and its Russian and Iranian backers would certainly veto that.) So there’s lots of fighting left to be done, and lots of opportunities yet for the United States and Russia to stumble into a confrontation. Stay tuned.

Editorial by Chris Malette Earlier this month, a ceremony at the renowned Sandbanks Provincial Park marked a proud achievement for the beach, the County and the provincial government.

The park’s beaches received the Blue Flag designation, chosen by a worldwide body that recognizes primarily eco-friendly beaches and marinas.

But, part of the accolade cites such locales not just for their environmentally responsible practices, but for its “safety standards,” as well.

From Environmental Defence, the agency that administers the program in Canada: “This year, a record 27 beaches and eight marinas across the country have earned the Blue Flag… To receive a Blue Flag, beaches and marinas must meet high international standards in water quality, environmental management, environmental education, and safety and services.

“The latest beaches to fly the flag are Moonlight Beach in Sudbury, Ont. and Outlet Beach at Ontario’s Sandbanks Provincial Park ...

“Millions of people around the world look for the Blue Flag when choosing a beach or marina to visit. And there’s a good reason for that,” said Brett Tryon, Blue Flag Program manager with Environmental Defence. “A Blue Flag means that a beach or marina is clean, sustainably managed, and meets high safety standards. It is truly a symbol of excellence.”

It is troubling, then, as in most communities where provincial or municipal tax dollars operate beaches, there is one issue on the all-important “safety standards” front that is lacking and that is lifeguards, or, more precisely, the lack thereof.

Several years ago, former Olympic swimmer Elaine Tanner and her partner John Watt, an expert lifeguard and safety advocate, remonstrated the province on a tour of such beaches of Sandbanks for dismantling lifeguard towers and removing lifeguards, altogether, from provincial park beaches.

Simply put, lifeguards on public beaches have been shunted aside in the interest of cutting costs; lives put in danger or lost be damned in the process.

Here’s how Watt and Tanner, in a letter to the editor in The Toronto Star, last week saw the ongoing cost-over-safety decisions of governments are costing lives: ‘Police identify Ontario men who drowned near Wasaga Beach, July 9’ This is getting beyond belief. After numerous drownings there are still no lifeguards at Wasaga Beach. Even after decades of public and editorial support, and multiple preventable drownings.

Enough is enough.

The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and

Forestry should be ashamed of itself, and so should the town of Wasaga Beach.

Tanner and Watt spoke passionately about the issue when they were in the Quinte region a few years back, but nothing has changed, other than the fact the vaunted Blue Flag now flies over beaches here and in other areas that, while clean, are devoid of lifeguards.

In a 2013 newspaper interview out of Barrie, Watt was discussing the gutting of lifeguard protection under provincial aegis and the state of the service prior to cost-cutting that resulted in the dismantling of the public lifeguard service in Ontario. “(Former premier) Mike Harris started to phase out lifeguards at Wasaga Beach and other provincial park beaches for economic reasons in the 1990s and successor governments have followed the practice. So now, on any given weekend, you can have 100,000 people at (Wasaga, Sandbanks or other beaches) and not a single lifeguard. And the fact is that where there are lifeguards on duty, you have a less than 1 per cent chance of death by drowning.

The lifeguard chairs at Wasaga were seven metres high, and paid for by public dollars. They were cut down and burnt. …”

Watt was asked if there are not some patrols at Wasaga, Sandbanks and other provincial parks.

“The parks department has a few people on patrol, but there are no rescue boats and they’re in full dress, not in Speedos. They’re there mainly to monitor bylaw infractions and they’re fast when it comes to beer cans or dogs, but not when it’s pulling someone out of the water. Then, time is of the essence. To survey the beach and the water properly, you have to be up high.

“When I worked at Wasaga, we had 20 professionally trained lifeguards, two more in boats with two-way radios and three working as rovers. We could react and did react in seconds. …

“I know of a (2010) near-drowning at Sandbanks where it took half an hour to get a boat in the water, the 911 operator had no idea where the beach was, and the ambulance took 50 minutes to arrive…”

Nothing has changed. North Beach, in Sandbanks Park, has some treacherous currents and each summer there are incidents where bathers either escape dangerous rip currents or are surprised at how fast and precipitous the drop-off in depth comes to those unfamiliar with the beach and its currents. And, yes, there have been drownings there over the years.

And, while the Blue Flag flies over Sandbanks and other public beaches across Ontario, swimmers, toddlers and the unsuspecting could well lose their lives for want of saving a few dollars.

Fishing derby numbers best in years at Trent River

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Trent River – The 53 young people who participated in the Kids Fishing Derby July 15 was the best number the Trent River Rod & Gun Club has had for the annual event in many, many years, says president Susan Miles.

“The whole point of the derby is to try to get the kids ... interested in fishing,” she said.

The category winners were: pike — Emma Page, 2.95 lbs.; smallmouth bass — Athena Carnovale, 2.3 lbs.; largemouth bass — Vincent Lewis, 1.95 lbs.; coarse fish (rock bass, sunfish, crappie, etc.) — Brayden Deshene, Emma Page; most goby caught — Mason Taylor, 13.

Fewer goby are being caught every year “so that's a pretty good sign,” Miles said.

Every child who took part got a free lunch and received a prize.

A representative from the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters was there to talk about the province's Invading Species Awareness Program. Goby, for instance, compete with and prey on bottom-dwelling fish, and threaten several species at risk in the Great Lakes Basin.

Members of the rod and gun club were on hand as well to help new anglers with tips and to offer advice.

The club, which has promoted hunting, fishing and conservation in the area for more than 40 years, has almost 20 members.

Heritage at O’Hara Mills Homestead is a community staple

BY MELYSSA GLOUDE

Madoc – The O’Hara Mills Homestead is a land lost in time – the vibrant historic homestead attracts tourists and locals alike, depicting pioneer rural life in Central Hastings during the 1800’s. Dedicated to preserving the rich heritage of the community, the O’Hara Volunteers Association hosts many non-profit events – the largest being Heritage Day at the homestead.

Fred Bendell, vice chair of the O’Hara Heritage Association, says the popular annual event has been a community staple for nearly 15 years, and helps keep historic O’Hara Mills in working order.

“It’s an event, but also a fundraiser,” says Bendell.

“All of the money we raise goes towards the association, the site and

homestead. Every year we add buildings or renovate existing ones and we’re lucky to have people make donations to keep it going.”

The Heritage Day at O’Hara featured musical entertainment by Appalachian Celtic, tours of the grounds, horse-drawn wagon rides, historic demonstrations and, in celebration of Canada’s 150th, re-enactments.

“This is one of the special events in recognition of the countries birthday,” says Bendell.

“We had re-enactors come in, we had Sir John A Macdonald and his wife Agnus walking around speaking to people.”

Bendell says that it’s been quite a while since professional re-enactments were performed at the homestead.

“This is the first time since 2012 that we’ve had re-enactors to OHara, and the particular soldiers from the Heritage event are from Norwood,” he says.

Brinna Mumby, 9, watches volunteer Rick Kuno as hes quares timbres with a broad axe during a demonstration. Melyssa Gloude/Metroland “This year it was a high school group, teachers and students. Typically we don’t bring in paid actors, but this event was pretty special.”

The O’Hara Grounds are open in the summer months, on the weekends in the spring and for special events during the winter months. Though the heritage event does boast the largest numbers in attendance -- a turnout of nearly 1,000 -- Bendell says the

homestead hosts popular events all year round.

“Heritage day is the largest event, but we host a lot of other events. The 1850s Sugarbush is two days long and has similar attendance.”

Ron Woods, Chair of the O’Hara Heritage Association says that each event adds a little more funding to make improvements to the homestead, which has become a very inte-

gral part of Hastings County -- for locals and tourists alike.

“It’s a point of interest that represents Madoc and area,” says Woods.

“We’re in need of a new barn, so that’s in the cards; we’re in the middle of doing up a five-year plan.”

This year, the association began giving out surveys for attendees to try and better understand the wants and needs of the community.

“There’s surveys being sent around this year asking people, ‘whats next?’

That really helps us figure out everyone needs.”

Though the event takes months of organisation and preparation, Bendell says schedules don’t exactly work for the Homestead.

“The draw of the homestead is the good cooking and the ambience and we always hear that O’Hara Mills is the best kept secret in the area,” he says.

“We tried to do a schedule of events, but it’s casual. That’s the ambience of it all. You show up, you take a walk, and the intent is to ramble.”

And ramble they did -- when the day came to the scheduled closing time, the band was still playing and people were still arriving while everyone wandered about, enjoying their walk in the past.

A schedule of upcoming events at the Homestead can be found at www. ohara-mill.org

Buskers and bands and camping at Warkworth Music Fest

BY SUE DICKENS

Warkworth — Buskers and bands will make their presence felt in a big way at the first Warkworth Music Fest.

The venue will be at the Warkworth fairgrounds on July 28, 29 and 30.

Jake Whalen, who is an active volunteer in the community, told Trent Hills News how he came up with the idea.

“While visiting my parents at a country music jamboree, I thought to myself, why are there none of these events with rock and roll music? I have a passion for music, especially rock and roll.”

The Percy Agricultural Society was approached and “is fully on board” with the idea and is actually co-organizer now.

“There are some festivals where more than one rock and roll band plays, but very few where you can camp on-site, and even fewer with nine live bands from every decade in

rock and roll and almost none for $60 for the whole weekend. Mix this with my passion for charity and you get our first ever music fest.”

Rock along to nine different bands on Friday from 6 p.m. to midnight and on Saturday from 2 p.m. to 12 a.m.

Ear Candy, “Ontario's premier party rock cover band,” will headline Friday's music and Little Bones (tribute to The Tragically Hip) will headline on Saturday night.

Tim Durkin from Rock 107 in Belleville will MC the weekend with a little help from Campbellford native Carter Holmes.

There will be food and ice cream vendors, clothing and jewelry vendors and even a salon and spa vendor.

Showers will be available from 9-11 a.m. Saturday and Sunday morning.

Free tickets for 2018 will be given away to the best decorated campsite.

“So dress up in your best

outfit from your favourite decade of rock and also win tickets for next year,” said Whalen.

“Check out the buskers before the music hits the stage on Saturday morning in the campground. One of the coolest things of having the event on the fairgrounds is that if it rains out, we will have the bands inside the arena.”

Most of the premium campsites have already been sold, but there are still regular sites left for purchase. Weekend and day passes are also available. Tickets are available at Arden's Music in Belleville and Trenton, Village Paint and Wallpaper in Campbellford, Warkworth Farm Supply and Kawartha Battery in Pe t e r b o rough or at www. w a r k worthmusicfest.ca.

Horticultural society's red and white garden celebrates Canada 150

BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford — Putting their spades and gardening expertise to work, the Campbellford and District Horticultural Society chose to celebrate Canada’s birthday with a red and white display.

“We used our own funds and didn’t spend a great deal. The municipality (of Trent Hills) provides a lot of the annuals, which they typically do, so we asked for red and white," said Theresa Miller, head of the garden group that planned and plotted the special tribute.

Several of the society’s members contributed to the garden as well, including a centrepiece by Gayle Fox, who built, planted, and donated a red and white begonia tower.

But what is also special this year is that the local society — in keeping with the Ontario Horticultural Association’s (OHA) decision to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary — decided to emulate their theme “Green from Shore to Shore” with a focus on gardening and protecting the environment.

The OHA’s annual convention is taking place July 21-23.

Following through with the environmental focus, the provincial group established a special pollinator initiative.

In keeping with that decision, the Campbellford gardeners put their mark on the Clock Tower garden. Elisabeth Niederhauser, of Warkworth, a local member who helps the group keep the garden maintained, enlisted her husband Rolf, who is in his 80s, to build a pollinator house.

They installed the wooden house along with a plaque from the OHA telling visitors the garden is a place of shelter and food for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.

“What looks like a simple garden here really had many aspects to getting completed. I want to give credit to Theresa Miller who spearheaded this," said Joan Martin, the society's president. "And we want people to please enjoy it and come often."

Madoc Classic Cruise Night venue moves Stirling Festival Theatre presents 'Seussical the to Central Hastings Skate Park

BY SUE DICKENS

Madoc — The Madoc Classic Cruise Night has found a new home — for now — at the Central Hastings Skate Park.

The show has been moved from its usual downtown location and a notice promoting the change of venue stated the switch is due to construction.

For the approximately 60 drivers and their vehicles, the event provides more than just a chance to show off their gleaming ride.

“It’s a social thing. I get to meet and talk to people,” said Garnet Woods of Madoc, who was sporting a shiny red 1986 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. “I’ve had this car maybe 15 years now. This model was the last year you could buy a Firebird Trans Am with the Firebird on the hood,” he added with a grin.

He enjoys taking his car to cruise nights and car shows, and has seven or eight trophies at home as proof of how well his car is received.

He goes to the show whenever he can because, “I like to support Madoc.”

Another cruise night fan Al Hudson, from Bancroft, drove his 1947 Hudson Commodore 8 to the show.

At the young age of 80, he heads to

the cruise night “every chance I get. I love cars. I find them very interesting.”

For Hudson, it is also about rebuilding and maintaining his car. In fact, he rebuilt the “royal red” Commodore engine and did most of the restoration.

At home, he has a 1947 Hudson truck.

“Must be something about the name,” he said with a huge grin.

Meanwhile, the music of William Young “Elvis” performing on stage could be heard while cruise night president Jennifer Reid and the Madoc and District Chamber of Commerce co-ordinator Leigh Anne Lavender stopped to talk about the show. The chamber holds the insurance on the show.

Doug Hunter Ford is the main sponsor but many others offer trophies and prizes.

“We’ve been having this show since 2014,” said Reid. “On a good night like tonight we have as many as 58 registered.”

Part of the fun is trophies and prizes for drivers and kids.

“We have sponsors’ choice trophies each time the show is held,” Reid explained.

Stirling — From the Cat in the Hat to Miss Gertrude McFuzz to Horton (who hears a Who), the beloved characters of Dr. Seuss are coming to life in a new production of Seussical the Musical by the Stirling Festival Theatre Academy. And the young cast members are having a blast rehearsing and learning the songs.

“It's very unique,” said Joshua Thorolovski, 17, of Tweed. “It's very different from anything else I've done.” He plays The Mayor, while 13-year-old Amy Spencer of Campbellford is Mrs. Mayor.

Consecon resident Heather Jones, 15, has the role of Gertrude McFuzz. She said the rhymes can be tricky to say.

“It's weird, but it's fun,” she said.

Isaiah Flagler, 12, from Quinte West said it's not just a show for kids. He thinks parents who read the books to their children will love it, too.

“I think it's going to be hilarious and very family-friendly — and a little bit creepy!” he said. He plays

General Genghis Khan Schmitz.

Director David Vanderlip said the cast includes 38 young actors.

“We have a huge cast from as far away as Colborne, Tweed and down in the county (Prince Edward County),” he said.

“They're having fun and working hard.”

Many of the young actors have appeared in other productions at their schools, at other local theatres and with the academy (formerly called the SFT Young Company).

“We have a new choreographer this year, Taylor Cole,” he added, noting that she is a former member of the Young Company who now has a degree in dance.

Seussical the Musical runs from Aug. 3-19, with both matinees and evening performances.

Bridge Hospice tourney draws record number of golfers

BY BILL FREEMAN

Trent Hills – A record number of golfers teed off at the eighth annual Bridge Hospice golf tournament at Oakland Greens Golf Club in Norwood.

“It is a very important fundraiser for the Bridge Hospice,” administrative assistant Alison Lane said as golfers made their way to tees prior to the start of the four-person scramble tourney which raised more than $15,000.

More than 90 golfers hit the links with Jeremy Heffernan’s team taking the men’s title, Sandra Havimaki the lady’s and Cindy Roberts's team taking the mixed championship.

“We use the funds very directly for operational costs that contribute to the care and comfort of residents and their families,” Lane said.

The three bed rural hospice opened in 2013 with

volunteers contributing more than 93,000 hours to the facility up to December, 2016. Over the past year the Bridge supported 39 individuals with an average stay of 15 days. Ninety per cent of patients were over 65.

Lane was pleased to see so many family members of residents taking part along with longtime hospice supporters.

“We’re very pleased with that. It’s a great way of involving the greater community,” she said. “It’s kind of like our little hospice village comes out to golf once a year. It’s really fabulous.”

The contributions from area businesses matched the enthusiasm of golfers.

“It’s hard to fit all the names onto the brochure,” said Lane.

“It is just an extraordinary community that is so generous and thoughtful and increasingly aware of the importance of having an option for end-of-life care.”

Lane says baby boomers now find themselves often as principal caregivers to aging parents and understand the value of the services a hospice can provide. “(They’re) seeing the importance of a nice, tranquil, dignified centre that’s completely about palliative care. It’s not the rush of a hospital (and) it’s not Jennifer Finley, Leona Robertson, Fiona Chaplin and Melinda McLaughlin the heavy burden of trying to care at home.”

County, Trent Hills to partner on emergency services base

Northumberland County – Council has given its approval to enter into an agreement with Trent Hills to build an emergency services base in Campbellford that will accommodate paramedics and firefighters.

A report prepared by the county's chief of paramedics William Detlor and facilities manager Mark McIntosh said the county's ambulance station in Campbellford is a busy spot operating 24 hours a day seven days a week, and call volumes across the county are expected to increase six to seven per cent on average per annum because of Northumberland's aging demographic.

The station's primary coverage radius encompasses most of Trent Hills, some 510

kilometres, but it also provides emergency coverage to the entire north-east part of the county, and secondary coverage to Brighton and the townships of Cramahe and AlnwickHaldimand.

The paramedic department “has outgrown the current crew quarters and garage space leased from Campbellford Memorial Hospital,” Detlor and McIntosh stated.

With cramped crew quarters, there's no capacity for growth and the station is in noncompliance with provincial standards “due to medical supplies and medications being housed in the garage area which are subject to varying temperatures and water during ambulance cleaning.”

Access to medications and supplies is also non-secured.

The two men also note “vehicles must reverse into the station from a very tight space which increases the risk to health and safety as well as property."

There is also no assigned parking for paramedic staff “which has caused numerous issues with hospital security and facilities management.”

The emergency services base that's to be built at the corner of Doxsee Avenue and River Street next year will have shared space similar to what's in the new Colborne model.

It will also include council chambers that will double as a meeting room and emergency operations centre.

The total cost has been estimated at $6.7 million. The county's share is $1.1 million.

We would really be sunk without them. We’d have had a hard time keeping the place in order and all the equipment up to snuff without them.”

Over the years, the foundation has provided funding for rowing and leg curl machines, dumbbells, curling rocks for youth, a kitchen ventilation system, cameras for the ice surface and renovations to the shower room.

The latest community impact grant of $3,500 paid for the replacement of a treadmill.

The gym areas are well-equipped and “very well-used,” Kelleher said.

With so much usage, the equipment “constantly has to be renewed. You have to replace and upgrade, and new things come along, and new workout routines that you have to respond to.

You got to keep up the club or members don’t show up.”

Food for thought art show will benefit Madoc food bank

BY SUE DICKENS

Madoc – It’s art, it’s smart and it has a huge heart.

Those are the words used by organizers to describe the Food for Thought Art Benefit and Auction.

Now in its fifth year, the event is a benefit art show and silent auction that brings much-needed support to folks in need in the Madoc area.

The show is organized by the Central Hastings Support Network (CHSN) and will take place at Arts Centre Hastings, 230 Durham St. S. The gala opening, by invitation only, takes place on Aug. 11. The show opens to the public on Saturday, Aug. 12 at 10 a.m. with closing bids

at 3 p.m.

Central Hastings Support Network is a nonprofit organization which delivers such services as Helping Hands food bank, transportation and income tax services to people with very little means.

This event’s proceeds directly support the Madoc Helping Hands Food Bank.

Last year’s show featured 36 local artists with 92 pieces up for auction.

At the event t his year, artists with local, provincial and national recognition donate their works, and the public gets to buy art at great prices while helping others. From pottery to paintings, carvings to creations of all kinds,

there's something for everyone.

Board chair Curt Brinkman says the benefit and auction has become an important event in the community in its short life.

“The public’s support for this event is truly gratifying. The generosity of the artists who donate and the public who buys seems to grow with each passing year. We feel blessed to see how people respond to the needs of others in their community.”

This year an “incredible” array of works has been donated by highly acclaimed artists, from oil on canvas to watercolour, from acrylic to stained glass, woodworking and photography, an exciting variety will be up for bids.

Past Executive director of CHSN, Jean McDonnell, shown here at last year’s food for thought event, had the vision six years ago to set the agency up as a hub of resources for low income residents when she came into the job along with Sally Gale, food bank co-ordinator at the time, now the current executive director.

Overalls and Whitewalls featured classic vehicles at Farmtown

DR. GERARD ERARD A. M MAGNE AGNE A.

BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling – Antique tractors shared space with classic automobiles during the annual Overalls and Whitewalls event on July 19 at Stirling's Farmtown Park.

Perfect weather brought out many visitors to take in the wheels, enjoy some beef-on-a-bun and listen to classic rock 'n' roll provided by Freddy Vette.

Cars included everything from 1930s hot rods in eye-popping paint to sedate sedans and muscle cars of the 1960s and 70s, and even an old police car with a sheriff’s star on the door. A Volkswagen bus showed off its window curtains, while a giant red heavy rescue wrecker towered over all of them.

Owner Wayne Moorcraft of Trenton said the 1982 Ford is a former Quinte West Fire Department vehicle.

He's added a few extra touches that are definitely “after market,” like little chrome skulls on the door locks.

“I've had this for seven years now,” he said.

The display of restored antique tractors was a magnet for tractor collectors, retired farmers and for little children who couldn't believe the size of the tires.

The antique tractors belonged to members of the Quinte Antique Tractor Club.

Farmtown Park, also known as the Hastings County Museum of Agricultural Heritage, is located at 437 West Front St. in Stirling, next door to the arena. It's open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (last admission at 3 p.m.) until Sept. 30. For more information, visit farmtownpark.ca or call 613-3950015.

Campbellford Rebels have new owner: ‘Only one way to go but up’ The Rebels' roster can never be totally local, if it wants to be competitive — last year only four players were from the area, including her son Brady, a 21-year-old centre who's in his last year of junior hockey — but Cross said the team will work on improving its relationship with minor hockey, after having “drifted apart a little bit, communication-wise.

“There are lots of things we can do with the younger kids in minor hockey to bring them out to the games,” she said.

Cross also has in mind player cards, skates with Rebels for younger children, and Rebel apparel for fans.

This will be the team's 25th season.

“Everybody's thrown out ideas, we haven't decided on anything particular,” Cross said.

The Rebels will travel to Port Hope for their season opener Sept. 16 against the Panthers, last year's Tod Division champions in the East Conference.

They will host the Amherstview Jets Sept. 30 in Campbellford.

Last season was a nightmare. The Rebels managed one tie in a 40-game schedule.

Campbellford — Having missed out on the playoffs the past two seasons and watching attendance again falter, the Campbellford Rebels found themselves at the crossroads: A crucial decision had to be made and Michelle Cross made it.

She bought the team.

“There were actually no owners,” said Cross who's been involved with the Rebels for 16 years.

The Provincial Junior Hockey League team was “community run,” she said: “I bought the debt” — about $12,000.

Besides being the new owner, Cross will also serve as team president, taking on a role Jim Peeling has filled for years.

He's “helping with all the things that I used to do in the background,” she said. “Everybody who was on the executive has agreed and wants to stay on in some sort of capacity but at this point ... the accountability is going to be on me.

“If I hadn't done this somebody else would have and the insinuation was that they were going to move them,” Cross said, “I don't think Campbellford should be without a juAt left, Michelle Cross, who has been involved with the nior hockey team.”

The real estate broker acknowledged turning around a have stayed and the support that I've got so far,” Cross said. Campbellford Rebels for 16 years, is now the team owner.

Any money coming in “is going right back into the team, John Campbell/Metroland team in decline will be a challenge, “but the reaction so far has been really good” from players, parents, the community and she estimated “it's going to take several years” before Campbellford Rebels Inc. will earn more than it spends. and sponsors.

Its budget for this year is $70,000.

You’ve seen local company’s work flash by in a blur of lights, sirens

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – Sterling and Marie Foster’s business started with the single sale of a vehicle light for a Trenton fire truck.

Two decades later it has blossomed into a thriving business that helps equip emergency vehicles across North America.

Belleville-based Sterlmar Equipment’s client list includes the Hawaii Police Department, the Mexican government and New York City Public Transit. It even once provided lights for a cavalcade of vehicles used for when U.S. President Bill Clinton visited Canada.

Sterlmar outfits vehicles with warning lights, laptop docking stations, radios – just about anything police officers or firefighters need from their vehicle to perform their jobs. Often clients purchase the vehicle essentially bare and bring it to Sterlmar, to make it ready for work. While the business has clients across North America, many of its clients, such as Belleville Police and Veridian, are nearby.

The couple, now celebrating 20 years in business this year, say their passion to help rescue workers do their jobs properly motivates them to keep going. Yet, at the same time, they enjoy doing behind-the-scenes work, but don’t seek recognition for it. Sterling said he doesn’t like to “toot his own horn” and focuses his energy on making sure clients are happy with his work.

Sterling’s motto is “fit and finish. When it leaves it’s done right,” he explained. “It’s done the way I would want it if it was my vehicle.”

Sterling knows the importance of helping emergency workers because he comes from a long family line of firefighters.

His grandfather and uncle were firefighters and, along with his mom, once lived in the Trenton fire hall. Sterling’s grandmother would ring the bell when a call came in – as this was an era well before pagers – and would call each firefighter on the phone to tell them about the emergency.

Sterling, himself, is a long-time Quinte West volunteer firefighter. Early in his days as a volunteer he sold a light that was needed for a fire truck and shortly later met a national sales rep for Whelen, a manufacturer of emergency vehicle lights, who helped him develop more sales opportunities.

The business snowballed from there and now the couple operate out 122 Parks Dr., just north of Belleville’s Walmart.

The location has a front-area retail store, which is great for anyone who’s a fan of police and firefighting-related products. There’s glassware and gift items, such as firefighter mugs, and even police and firefighting toys for children. Marie helped expand that line of the business by teaching herself sandblasting on glass. Originally from Plainfield, Marie is trained in art, drafting, technical illustrating, interior design and woodworking.

The couple are so passionate about firefighting that when they go on vacation, a first stop for them is often to the local fire hall. Sterling collects badges from halls he’s visited and enjoys meeting firefighters from around the continent.

He said working closely with fire and police professionals is a great perk of the job; he finds fulfillment in helping clients fill difficult orders; that may involve making a custom fit for a certain light.

“It’s a small industry,” he said. “Everyone Marie and Sterling Foster own Sterlmar Equipment. Stephen Petrick/Metroland knows each other.”

The Kalisli family: New Canadians forging a future in Trent Hills

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford — Kamil and Anna Kalisli are in a good place now: Canada.

It's been their home since they and their two young sons arrived last September from Lebanon, where they had been living for more than two years after fleeing their native Syria.

“It's a good thing that (has) happened to my family,” Anna said recently from her condo in Campbellford.

“It's a nice country, (with) nice people around us. We really are lucky,” she said. “We have a good life.”

They had one in Damascus.

Anna was a journalist and Kamil was a contractor who did renovations.

As violence began to tear their country apart Anna grew “scared” but she and her husband continued to work because they needed the money “to stay alive” and provide for their family.

And there were “signs” a solution was coming that would bring the civil war to an end.

Instead it “got bigger than we imagined” so they fled to Lebanon “to build a new life” and escape “a horrible situation.”

When Canada opened its arms to refugees, Anna and Kamil seized the opportunity and had the good fortune of being matched with the Trent Hills Community Refugee Initiative committee, chaired by Sonny Lennon.

Anna and Kamil Kalisli and their two sons, Sam, 1, and Zain, 5, have taken to life in a small community far from their native Syria, where violence continues to reign.

John Campbell/Metroland

“They have warm hearts,” Anna said.

She and her husband have been taking English lessons in Cobourg to become fluent in the language. Volunteers drove them initially but Kamil got his driver's licence and the couple bought a car, which Kamil uses to drive to

work. His skills and experience are making it possible for him to earn an income.

“He's happy," and optimistic about their future, Anna said.

Five-year-old Zain, their oldest son, attended St. Mary Catholic Elementary School.

He made “many friends” who

regularly visit him, and he was “excited” to learn he'd be able to play soccer this summer, Anna said.

“He's very happy.”

Zain, who speaks Arabic, French, and now English, has “fit in perfectly,” Lennon said.

“It's been just a joy to watch

how the family has progressed.”

When he was asked by Anna and Kamil how they could ever repay him and the committee, his answer was that as long as they are “good Canadians, they have lived up to that expectation.

“I have no doubt in my mind they will be very successful Canadians,” he said.

Lennon said Trent Hills residents have been “phenomenal in offering their services” to help the Kalisli family adjust to life in a foreign country, and there has been “a great collaboration between all the various service groups, churches, everybody.”

Anna and Kamil are very grateful.

“Usually to begin a new life it's hard,” Anna said, but the committee and volunteers have been “very, very good and very helpful.

“We really feel we have a family here,” she said, and she's as certain as Lennon is that the relationships they have established with the many who have helped them will continue long after the committee's one-year contractual obligations required by the federal government expire in September.

The committee chose at the outset to give the family “all the support that they need” but to leave it with them to make the decisions, such as where to live, Lennon said.

“Our group as a whole couldn't be happier we did the right thing,” he said. “The family has done absolutely, amazingly well.

Local musician to play for Market Square party

Napanee woman charged for leaving child in hot car Belleville - A Napanee woman has been charged after leaving her child in a parked car in a Belleville mall or plaza parking lot Tuesday evening.

A statement issued by Belleville police is short on specifics, but said police and ambulance were called to an unspecified “parking lot on Bell Boulevard” Tuesday evening for a report of a “distressed child left unattended in a parked vehicle…”

Police said emergency medical services personnel took the child to Belleville General Hospital for ex-

amination and “the child was later released.”

The name of the woman, only described as a 30-year-old woman from Napanee, was not released, but the woman has a court date of Aug. 24 on a charge of failure to provide the necessities of life.

At the time of the incident, weather records show the temperature in Belleville was approximately 26 degrees. There have been multiple warnings by police, health units and even the Humane Society about leaving unattended children or pets in vehicles on hot days.

Belleville Collegiate grad Spencer Evans, now a well-known Kingston-based musician, will be the go-to band for this year’s annual Rotary Street Party on the Market Square Friday evening.

Evans will lead a three-piece flexible combo with music for all tastes, featuring himself on keyboard, clarinet and vocals, plus drummer and bass player.

Evans performed a few years ago at the Street Party in concert with Emily Fennell, but this year’ his combo is the only act. He has a reputation for being able to play, jazz , blues, rock and whatever the

audience wants.

From a boy chorister at Belleville’s Christ Church, Evans studied piano and later, clarinet, spanning that instruments’ unique wide range from base to ear-blowing highs and wails.

He spent several months in New Orleans where he developed a passion for jazz, blues and Cajun music. Early in his career, he recorded an album with Canada’s world-famous Cowboy Junkies and followed that up with a world tour with that group. He has also toured across Canada a couple of times with Pat Temple and has

entertained Canadian troops at Alert in the Arctic and in Croatia during Canada’s stint in that wartorn area.

He has also recorded and toured with Sarah Harmer and other artists and plays regularly on summer cruises out of Kingston on the Island Queen. Evans performs frequently at various Quinte area venues, including in Picton, Wellington and Belleville and is the son of Jack and Nancy Evans, of Belleville.

Trains through Tweed again?

It could happen, says Via Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been decades since the sound of a train whistle sounded in places like Tweed and Sharbot Lake, but a federal investment into a plan by Via Rail could make it happen.

A new passenger rail line is being touted by Via for the corridor between Windsor and Quebec City and that could include stops in both Tweed and Sharbot Lake, locally.

Via Rail is proposing $5.25-billion would be needed to build a dedicated passenger rail line through the most populated region of Canada in the Quebe-Windsor corridor.

Frontenac County council endorsed a resolution from the Eastern Ontario Wardensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Caucus (EOWC) that called on the federal and Ontario governments to financially support the project.

The EOWC resolution included a call for the rail line to included stops at smaller centres, like Tweed, in order to enable â&#x20AC;&#x153;the user to have direct and fast access to railway stations and hubs in communities across rural eastern Ontario.â&#x20AC;?

Via says the increasingly crowded main lines mean for slower services and longer delays on passenger trains using the mains between Quebec and Windsor. The new line would alleviate

the backlog.

Via trains currently run on tracks owned by Canadian National Rail, which limits how often the passenger trains can run. The passenger rail service says it is increasingly shunted to sidings to let freight trains pass.

Via has charts on its website to show how the proposed new line would be kind to the environment. The Crown corporation says an electrified route between Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal would have the equivalent of taking 2.4 million cars off the road. It is also projected that the route would reduce congestion in and out of major urban centres and reduce inter-city trips by car by 11%.

The reduced car travel would translate to a reduction of the equivalent of 10.8 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.

Northumberland County to review vacant property tax rebates

Belleville Orthodontist charged with voyeurism Belleville Police have arrested a former Belleville orthodontist and charged him with several charges related to surreptitiously video taping young female patients and possession of child pornography.

Police began investigating when they were told the operator of a North Front Street dental office had reportedly been videotaping young patients without their knowledge for many years. Some of the reported incidents involved people under the age of 18.

On July 12, officers with specialized units of both Belleville and Toronto police raided a home in Toronto.

Anthony Garry Solomon, 69, now living in Toronto, was charged after a joint investigation that began earlier this year

by Belleville police criminal investigations branch. Solomon faces two counts of voyeurism involving females over and under the age of 18, possession of child pornography and making child pornography. He was released from custody under conditions and will make a court appearance in Belleville on August 17.

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Anthony Garry Solomon has been charged with voyeurism and child pornography charges.

Police said Tuesday they are now in the process of notifying numerous victims.

Police asked that anyone with information should call Det. Const. Darrell Hatfield with Belleville Police or Quinte Crime Stoppers.

Northumberland County — The county is undertaking a review of its vacancy rebate program which has cost it more than $269,000 a year the past two years.

The program was originally intended to compensate owners of vacant commercial and industrial properties whose taxation burden increased “as a result of property tax reform on vacant units” and “the increased cost could not be recouped through ... rents or business operations,” director of finance/treasurer Glenn Dees wrote in a report.

However, in some instances, vacancy rebates of 30 to 35 per cent of taxes paid might be seen as “an incentive for property owners to hold onto vacant properties for future uses or speculation, thereby providing no productive use to communities, and creating areas with chronic vacancies,” Dees stated.

“Ongoing vacancies inhibit economic growth, job creation, investment, and tourism,” he wrote.

Vacancy rebates also result in higher property taxes for other property owners to cover the costs of the program.

“This is borne primarily by the residential tax class which comprises over 80 per cent of assessment valuation within Northumberland County,” Dees explained.

The Northumberland Treasurers committee unanimously supported having a review done of the tax rebate program to assess the impact of phasing it out.

The program is required by legislation but the province recently granted municipalities “new flexibilities” in tailoring policies relative to their own needs.

The rebates at the county and lower tier levels combined added up to $269,207 in 2016 and $295,152 in 2015, with most of the property

owners who benefited located in Cobourg (55 and 56 the last two years), followed by Port Hope (25 and 29).

As part of their review, county staff will engage property owners affected by any change to the program, from changing the amount of the rebate provided to phasing it out altogether, to assess its potential impact.

Dees said in an interview many municipalities are undertaking a review, and some have already elected to phase out the vacancy rebate program, “particularly in communities where (there are) chronic depressed areas.”

“It's an impediment to driving economic activity by having vacant storefronts,” he said.

Dees also noted that the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation takes into account the impact chronic vacancies in an area has in lowering the value of properties, lessening the need for rebates to be given.

Checking out Ontario’s stunning Thomas Foster Memorial

BY JOHN M. SMITH

On a recent day trip northwest of here, my wife and I arrived at a beautiful mausoleum, the Thomas Foster Memorial, that’s located just outside of Uxbridge, and it’s a rather striking and unusual landmark to find atop a hill, along a relatively quiet country road. We were suddenly looking at one of the most spectacular tombs to be found in the entire country – and, of course, we decided to get our very own ‘up close and personal’ look at this uniquely designed architectural treasure.

During our guided tour, we were told that Thomas Foster had become a rich young man by selling real estate in the Toronto area (after apprenticing as a butcher). He was apparently very frugal with his money, and he would often do his own repairs on his rental properties.

He eventually entered the world of politics, and he became a Member of Parliament in 1917. Later, he was elected as Toronto’s 40th mayor – in 1925. After serving as Toronto’s mayor, he travelled to India, where he visited the Taj Mahal, and this inspired him to want to build a mausoleum right here in the Ontario countryside – for his wife, daughter, and himself (both his wife and daughter had already died). It was to be built next to the small rural cemetery where his ancestors were buried, and it was to cost the then exorbitant sum of $100,000.00. Thomas went to the Toronto architectural firm of Craig and Madill with his proposal, and after some design changes, the mausoleum was built. However, by the time of its completion, in 1936, the actual cost had skyrocketed to more than double the original estimate (about $250,000.00), and that would, of course, be several million dollars in today’s market.

I’ve been to the Taj Mahal, and the Thomas Foster Memorial does not look like an exact replica of it. Rather, the Thomas Foster Memorial is a combination of several artistic and architectural styles. It has a Byzantine dome, a pulpit of Rocherons marble, and Italian marble columns. It also has a roof of copper tile,

solid bronze doors, four great internal arches below the central dome, and terrazzo floor designs and marble mosaics.

We also found 12 hand-painted and fired stained glass windows (the work of Canadian artist Yvonne Williams) and a removable slab in the floor that would allow for coffins to be lowered to crypts below.

Furthermore, there’s a plethora of both Christian symbols (including the Alpha and Omega symbols in the floor’s centre, a marble altar, a gold cross, and symbols of the apostles and evangelists) and other symbols (including the River Styx, the River of Death, with its floating water lilies and lily pads) There’s even a laurel wreath of victory over death that encircles the central motif, and within the mausoleum’s central dome itself, in gold lettering, is the following inscription: “Take this my body for it is done and I have gained a new life, glorious and eternal.” The southern transept contains the three family sarcophagi, and above each is a memorial stained-glass window with a modest memorial shield. For example, his wife’s inscription simply reads: “In loving memory of Elizabeth McCauley Foster 1853 – 1920”. Thomas’ daughter, Ruby, died at the age of 10, and Thomas himself was born in 1852 and died 1n 1945.

When Thomas Foster died at the age of 93, he left a rather unusual will. Not only did he set aside a portion of his wealth to maintain this memorial itself, and funds for scholarships to be given in memory of himself, his wife and his daughter, but he also provided money for a number of philanthropic endeavours. These included some of the more usual charities, such as for Cancer Research, the Children’s Aid Society, and the Humane Society, but he also stipulated that there was to be money set aside for “an annual picnic for Toronto’s underprivileged children”, for the planting of trees “to beautify the approaches to the City of Toronto”, and “to feed wild birds around the city during the winter months.”

Belleville News - Thursday, July 27, 2017 5

Bicycle-powered opera company having a wheely good run Sweat “is the perfect show for everyone; it is beautiful music with a solid story that needs to be told – and it is in English!” Cox said.

The show, which includes songs in Hungarian, Cantonese, Ukrainian and Spanish, follows a day in the life of a group of immigrant women who work in a sweatshop, and reflects on the hopes and dreams they have and the daily challenges they face.

“I love watching people who have never experienced live opera hear this (calibre) of performance,” Cox said. “They are always blown away.”

And “to get a fully staged opera outside of Toronto (is) pretty special.”

The mandate of the Bicycle Opera is to deliver contemporary Canadian music to smaller communities where there is little or no opportunity to hear it.

Tickets can be purchased in advance for $25 by calling 905-344-7119 or visiting www.themillatpipercreek.ca/events. The cost at the door is $35.

The Mill at Piper Creek will also be taking part in Cramahe Township’s Canada 150 celebrations Aug. 5 and 6, by teaming up with Ontario Street Theatre to proEVERYONE WELCOME at the 26th Annual duce The Great Canadian Review.

CLASSIC COUNTRY MUSIC The 70-minute show will feature REUNION & JAMBOREE a troupe of professional improvisers who will generate laughs based on audience suggestions.

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Castleton – A bicycle-powered opera company is bringing an a cappella opera about the global garment industry to Cobourg.

The Bicycle Opera Project, the only Canadian performance company that tours on bikes, will perform Sweat at Trinity United Church in Cobourg Aug. 1.

The show’s sponsors, the people behind The Mill at Piper Creek Arts and Heritage Centre, would have preferred to host the show in Castleton but the owners of the former grist mill, Mitch and Candace Cox, are locked in a legal dispute with a neighbour over property boundary lines.

Candace Cox, president of The Mill, said in an email that plans to turn the 19th century building into an arts and heritage centre “are inching forwards” but the couple’s “legal dilemma continues to drag on. (It’s) draining and slow and prevents us from moving too far ahead.”

Nonetheless, they and the non-for-profit organization they established are determined to bring a diverse group of artists to the area, to venues other than the centre until it eventually opens.

SATURDAY - 6:30 PM - Tim Sanders Band, Debbie Bechamp, Tyler Cochrane, Fred Lewis, Bob McQuaid, John Milner, James Ryce SUNDAY GOSPEL SHOW: - 11:00 AM SUNDAY 6:30 PM - Tim Sanders Band, Mitch Barker, Darlene Brooks, Gloria Downer-Pearson, Rita Harpell, Winston James OPEN MIC SESSIONS: Thurs. at 7 PM, Fri., Sat. & Sun at 1:00 & 10:45 PM. Come sing with the band!

Advance Weekend Passes at: Chamber of Commerce & Smokers World in Trenton; Pinnacle Music in Belleville, Pickers Paradise in Colborne.

SINGLE DAY & EVENING - $20.00 at the gate.

NIGHT SHOW ONLY - $15.00 (after 5 PM)

come.

“Being able to encourage and promote the success of these vibrant professional artists, who are both local and from across Canada – this is the kind of thing which inspired us to work to create an Arts and Heritage space,” Cox said.

“We’re lucky to have the opportunity to host these kind of events, and grateful to the Northumberland community for helping us make them successful.”

Glanmore looking to grow back to its roots

BY JACK EVANS

Built as an impressive Victorian mansion of some 9,000 square feet many years ago, even mansions run out of space, especially when you try to restore the original period furnishings and layout, officials at Belleville’s Glanmore National Historic Site can attest.

A case in point: Belleville’s history is full of events and artifacts the museum would love to display as a “community museum,” but there is simply no room. Even the spacious basement, now the repository of many such artifacts, is now targeted to be cleaned out and restored to original purposes like its period kitchen and laundry, said Rona Rustige, museum curator.

“It will take some time to find the authentic style of gas-fired range from the original house,” she said, among the items that will have to go into storage to accomplish this are pieces such as Capt. John Meyer’s original powder horn of ivory. It is such items with direct connection to the city’s history that the museum wants to be able to show the hometown crowd as well as visitors.

“We started work on this a year ago,” said Rustige, noting one display about the city’s history of firefighting has already been prepared in board format and is now on display in the new Station Street fire hall. A second display focusing on the city’s 200th birthday

Glanmore National Historic Site, once a stately East Hill Belleville home, is undergoing yet more renovation and restoration.

Chris Malette/Metroland

and Canada’s 150th has also been prepared and displayed at recent events like Waterfront and Canada Day. It is also scheduled for the coming Rib Fest and Hastings Plowing Match.

Dr. Suresh Appan & Associates

These are just interest-whetting projects for the serious business of considering some sort of annex space to display many artifacts more publicly and properly, both she and Melissa

Wakefield, her assistant, agreed.

“We started working on this a year ago,” they said, getting council approval to hire a proper consultant and starting to brainstorm staff members about what might be needed and what to consider. All museum staff, volunteers and advisory committee members are onside with the plan, but there could be a substantial cost involved and what does the public think? Consultations will be a part of the project in the months ahead once a basic plan is in place.

Meanwhile, almost every room except the basement in the nationally-designated historic site has been furnished and restored in keeping with authentic period paintings, furnishings, wall paper and paint and even the original carpet. That project, installed just over a year ago, involved sending fabric remnants to the original carpet maker in England to have a rich, patterned red recreation made and installed at a cost of $75,000 , for the main hall and stairs, a cost covered by a provincial grant.

The quality of the carpet is such, said Rustige, that, like the original one, it is expected to last at least another 100 years.

In a word, Glanmore is one national quality treasure in beauty and authenticity. Victorian it may be, so now it is time to focus on Belleville, from its aboriginal beginnings to pioneer times and onward.

The man is connected to an incident that happened on July 14, when members of the OPP organized crime enforcement bureau — Peterborough/

Northumberland community street crime unit and the emergency response team executed a criminal code search warrant at a residence south of Campbellford. Two residents were observed at the rear of the property resulting in a woman being arrested and a man fleeing from police.

A subsequent search by members and the canine unit

failed to locate the man at the time. Officers seized a quantity of drugs and suspected stolen property.

Ashleigh Taylor, 36, of Campbellford has already been charged with possession of property obtained by crime — under $5,000; possession of a schedule I substance — methamphetamine — and possession of a schedule II substance — cannabis marijuana, over 30 grams.

She was released with a court date of Aug. 2.

Nehrling was charged with possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000 (three counts); break, enter a dwelling house with intent to commit indictable offence; break, enter a dwelling house — commit an indictable offence; possession of firearm or ammunition contrary to prohibition order; possession of methamphetamine; possession of cannabis marijuana — over 30 grams; theft under $5,000.He was held for a bail hearing.

Finance minister Morneau tours Tweed area with Bossio Tweed - Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau did some coffee-shop chatting and a farm visit here Wednesday, July 19, joined by MP Mike Bossio, Hastings— Lennox and Addington.

The visit formed part of the minister’s tour to promote what the federal government is calling it “smart investments that lead to shared growth and creat(ing) opportunities and jobs for the middle class...”

Morneau and Bossio began their tour in Tweed with lunch at the Gateway Restaurant, joined by Tweed Mayor Jo-Anne Albert. They then stopped into Gaylord Flooring, a family business that has been serving the community since 1985, and has since expanded across North America through their online sales platform.

Bossio noted that the unprecedented federal government investment of $500 million into rural high-speed Internet will make small town businesses like this even more globally successful. Morneau

and Bossio then grabbed coffee at By the Way Café, before heading to their first scheduled tour.

At Enright Cattle Company, a family farm run by Kara and Darold Enright near Tweed, Morneau talked about the government’s plan to build a stronger middle class through investments in education, skills training, infrastructure and innovation.

Bossio also noted that through federal investments in the tax-free Canada Child Benefit and the reduction in middle class taxes, Canadians have more money in their pockets to spend locally on businesses such as the Enright Cattle Company.

Morneau and Bossio also visited Bon Eco Design in Tamworth, where Morneau emphasized the significant contribution of business owners and entrepreneurs across Canada, from small, family-run operations, to dynamic and growing firms.

Award winning Canadian duo, Sultans of String swing into Old Church Theatre August 9 Quinte West - Canada’s multiple award winning string slingers Sultans of String take their genre hopping musical passport to Trenton with a much anticipated stop at the Old Church Theatre, August 9, 7:30pm Touring non-stop in support of their latest CD, Subcontinental Drift and special vinyl release “!0”, this “energetic and exciting band, with talent to burn!” (Maverick Magazine, UK) serve up revved up Celtic reels, Flamenco, Gypsy-jazz, Arabic, and Cuban rhythms, while fiery violin dances with kinetic guitar with unstoppable grooves.

Throughout, acoustic strings meet with electronic wizardry to create layers and depth of sound.

Celebrating a milestone 10 years together, Sultans of String have hit #1 across Canada on Top 10 national radio charts, #15 on Billboard (world music), top 10 on

CMJ (world), and received multiple awards and accolades, including 1st place in the ISC (out of 15,000 entries), 3 JUNO (Canada’s Grammy) nominations, 3 Canadian Folk Music Awards, a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal for bandleader Chris McKhool, plus invitations to perform/record with such luminaries as The Chieftains, Sweet Honey In The Rock, and David Bromberg. Led by 5-string violinist McKhool (Jesse Cook, Pavlo) who was raised in a Lebanese-Egyptian household just bursting with music and diversity, Chris was fed a steady diet of delicious musicality alongside Middle Eastern cuisine and violin lessons. At the core of their sound is his bold and fiery fiddle, melded seamlessly with founding guitarist Kevin Laliberté’s (Jesse Cook) rumba rhythm. Together their musical synergy created Sultans of String’s signature

sound – the intimate and playful relationship between violin and guitar.

Their US manager and acclaimed promoter David Wilkes (Bela Fleck, Emmylou Harris, Jerry Jeff Walker) states, “Over the decades, I’ve worked with numerous top ten and #1 Billboard artists. In all that time, I have not worked with composers more talented than Chris McKhool and Kevin Laliberté from Sultans of String. Not only are they a superb writing team, they are also amazing arrangers & musicians.

Thw show takes place on Wednesday, Aug 9, 7:30 p.m. at The Old Church Theatre, 940 Bonisteel Rd, Trenton.

Tickets are available for $20 in advance or $25 at the door. For more information call 613-848-1411 or visit www.oldchurch.ca

One-act plays pack the Old Church

BY JACK EVANS, LYNN MARIOTT

Quinte West - The Old Church Theatre founded by the late Roy Bonisteel has proven it can handle theatre as well as music ensembles.

For its recent weekend of three performances of three one-act plays by local writers, the theatre enjoyed sold-out crowds throughout, the audience was told at the closing performance Sunday afternoon.

It was local talent across the board for this first one-act festival, with local playwrights, local directors and local actors. Even with small casts, almost a requirement for one-act plays, the calibre of acting and scripts held the audiences’ attention and earned much applause, and where appropriate, laughter.

Audiences were welcomed to the world of Larry and David, brothers who are trying to collude on having their elderly father be put in a nursing home while at the same time in head-on collision on the fine details. In a trueto-life story called “Home,” written by Ryan Aldred and directed by Astrid Young the boys ultimately storm off the stage, threatening to see each other “in court.” The audience learns that the father, whom the boys thought was dead, was actually “playing possum” and had some ideas of his own about his future. Well acted by Scott Roodvoets as Larry, Richard Turtle as David and Brian Weston as “Pops.”

Play number two was a poignant short drama about a seven-year-old boy literally kidnapped by his jail-bound father to remove him from his mother. Written by Ken Murray and directed by Matthew Sheahan, Peter Wood transforms himself into a seven-yearold as he meets his father and learns some new “rules.” His father, played by Jamison

Picard, ultimately leads him to a place of “warmth” and comfort. His memories of that event as mature man and his father’s shortcomings lead him to conclude: “It is what we do with our shortcomings that matters.”

“Tea With Roger” is a comic romp of two seasoned actresses dealing with an errant suitor, allowing Judie Preece and Kathryn Dalmer full scope of their acting talents.

Kathryn, as Mavis, has her would-be husband gagged and bound in the closet behind them as they discuss how to deal with him over tea and make liberal use of a Taser to quiet him down. From shock and compassion for the imprisoned suitor, Preece, as Joan, comes to take her friend’s side as she realizes the man was a fraud and gold digger. Mike Kirby plays the gagged-sounding victim in the closet in this clever farce by Belleville’s Peter Paylor.

Martin Durkin, local poet and regular at Tweed’s 1st Tuesday Muse poetry evenings, hosted and introduced each play was an original poem.

Durkin also gave a poetic tribute to Roy Bonisteel, the late broadcaster and journalist known best for his Canadian TV series, Man Alive. Bonisteel is father of Leslie Bonisteel who operates the Old Church with her husband Brian Weston.

The refurbished Old Church holds 35.

Seating is comfortable, the local art and craft beers intriguing and the acoustics are perfect for actors and musicians and audience.

Paylor’s, This is Rosewood - Tales from the Tavern, will be performed at the Old Church on Aug 12-13.

“You don’t want to miss Part 2 of the (Sharpen the Acts) series planned for October,” said Bonisteel.

Left to right, in “Tea With Roger” are Mike Kerby as Roger, Kathryn Dalmer and Judie Preece.

The Good Earth

By Dan Clost

Gosh it’s hot, relatively speaking

Gentle Reader, it’s been an interesting gardening season, hasn’t it? We’ve had the English spring, which seemed to enjoy our part of the country so much that it overstayed its welcome.

We’ve just finished our hottest week of the year with only one of the days being free of oppressive humidity. Mind you, that’s relative since we haven’t really been acclimated to hot weather. “Humidex” is a word with which we are familiar and most of us have a vague understanding that it is a combination of temperature

For Work Or Play N&N Galvanized Trailers

and relative humidity which suggests to us how we feel, e.g., “Temperature is 28˚C but feels like 35˚C.” So, what does that mean in practical terms?

Let’s start with us humans as we are, egocentrically speaking, the most important part of the equation. The Occupational Health Clinics for Ontario Workers has looked at humidex ratings and devised a response plan depending upon those figures. https://www.ccohs.ca/ oshanswers/phys_agents/humidex.html They have a considered, best practice sugges-

tion to follow at the workplace -look for Table 3 on the website. At our workplace, we take onsite readings of temperature and humidity which we use to get the humidex. Then we follow the Clinic’s recommended actions, as per Table 3. You can use an on-line calculator at http://www.ohcow.on.ca/edit/ files/general_handouts/heatstress-calculator.html).

There are two sets of responses depending upon the acclimation of the workers (non-acclimated include office workers in an air-conditioned environment; acclimated workers are outside types like nursery workers) and the degree of physical exertion.

The responses range from watch for symptoms and drink extra water to 45 minutes of rest per hour. Depending upon the nature of the work, most companies will have a shutdown strategy as the humidex increases.

Last year, we had 2 days where the chart went off the scale (above 50) and, frankly, we didn’t need to look at any chart to know it was too hot

to do anything. For the most part, we have found it to be a valuable tool that lets us take care of ourselves before we cross a health threshold. There is no reason why this can’t be used on your own estate, GR. I know that when I get a chance to work on the home estate, I tend to carry on in spite of high temperatures because I feel pressured to get things done.

Referring back to the first paragraph, the sudden transition from spring to dog days of summer left us feeling hot and tired. Table 3 actually suggested that we carry on as normal but to drink a little bit more water. Given the same weather conditions come mid-August, we won’t even look at the chart.

This system removes the subjectivity in terms of health risk.

Plants are not really all that different from us when it comes to high humidity and heat. The best strategy to help them endure this form of stress is to keep them healthy. Good nutrition, a good watering regimen and, often overlooked, putting the right plant in the right

place are the key factors. In the heat, plants strive to preserve themselves and will actively “remove” bits and pieces that threaten their long-term survival. Oddly enough, this does include leaf drop as a means of reducing moisture loss. Odd because leaves are a plant’s mains source of food. Pay attention to the top foot of soil, where most of the water absorbing roots tend to repose, and keep that moist.

Watering is best done in the morning because that is the time most plants turn on the intake valves. The second best time for watering is whenever you can.

Another consideration, re right plants, is that root zones are compatible. Hostas underneath a nice shady maple might not thrive as well as they should if that maple is from Norway, Acer platanoides, aka Crimson King, Emerald Queen, Princeton Gold etc. Thanks to Judy Hayward for that memory jog.

For articles on best watering practices you can refer to the archives of this newspaper.
