Campbellford – Dry stonewall instructor and licensed stone mason John Scott will be teaching at a popular weekend workshop.

The ninth annual dry stone wall workshop is hosted by Friends of Ferris (FofF) Provincial Park and will take place on Aug. 26 and 27. They have partnered with Ontario Parks and Dry Stone Canada (DSC).

For Scott, who lives in Brighton and is self employed, this is the first time he will be conducting the workshop. He is a graduate of the masonry program taught by Sean Donnelly, a craftsman who specializes in building stone walls and has taught the course at Ferris in the past.

“I am looking to expose people to stonework. There are all kinds of ways to get to know your heritage and this is one of them,” Scottsaid.

For him the art of building a stone wall is all about physics.

“Dry stone wallers were the first physicists. They understood through trial and error how gravity does and doesn’t work and it’s all about placement,” he explained. “There are 10 rules that work and the stone wallers who took advan-

He spoke of the science behind building the stone walls and “all the things that make stone walls work like friction and gravity and the idea of the ground pushing back on what is being pushed on.”

Scott will guide registrants

in the fundamentals of walling from batter boards to hearting and from through-stones to capping to cheek ends and corners.

Hastings waterfront festival draws crowds and attendees really rocked it

BY BILL FREEMAN

Hastings — The Hastings Waterfront Festival literally rocked this year.

The Hastings Rocks campaign, a rock-painting juggernaut that has taken the community by storm, was one of the featured exhibits at the 11th annual event which drew hundreds of visitors to the south shore of the Trent River.

The three day extravaganza with opening night entertainment, dozens of vendors and exhibits, children’s events, demonstrations, the big ticket raffled draw, photography and butter tart contest, a busy refreshment lounge and Sunday’s popular classic car show and shine is one of Trent Hills premier summer events.

This year’s event was organized by the Hastings Revitalization Association (HRA) after a “shadow” run last year; organizers filled the south shore from the entrance near Pisces Park westward past the Hastings Village Marina with a variety of vendors and displays.

The Hastings Rocks booth invited visitors to paint a rock with their own design using supplied materials. The simple, feel-good cam-

paign has been an unqualified success with rock painters hiding their creations in easy-to-find locations throughout Hastings where they’re admired, photographed and either placed back or exchanged for another painted rock. A similar spontaneous campaign has taken root in Havelock where rock sleuths are posting their “finds” on Facebook.

Other attractions at the waterfront festival included The Blades of Glory medieval reenactment ensemble, Trent

Hills Martial Arts, the Firelights dance troupe, the Sanchez Band, a petting zoo and Campbellford Stand-up Paddling.

Parka, the Parks Canada mascot, was on hand along with the as-yet-to-be-named Hastings fish; both greeted visitors along Dit Clapper Drive.

All funds from the Rotary Club’s breakfast will go toward the Pisces Park project which the HRA now oversees.

Queensborough – The extensive restoration of an historic church here has been a labour of love for a local family.

In 1846, an early Madoc Township settler named Joseph Hazzard provided a one-acre plot of land that was to become the site of Hazzard’s Corners Church in Queensborough. There already was a log schoolhouse on the plot that was being used for worship. This first building was referred to as the “Hazzard’s Chapel.” That structure, thanks to some extensive renovation, still stands today.

Grant Ketcheson, whose family has been involved with the Hastings staple for about five generations, says even though the church hasn’t hosted a regular service in 50 years, the history of the property is important to the community.

“We continued with two services a year, Christmas and summer service, and then, through the efforts of a few people, it became a designated historic site,” says Ketcheson.

“We’ve been working to preserve it. Three years ago, at the 2015 service, we indicated to people that it would take nearly $70,000 to do what needed to be done.”

Through hard work and dedication, a seven-member volunteer board continues to maintain the church and grounds, including care of the cemetery.

“It needed a new roof, a total paint job a new ceiling ... so we began bugging people for money. In 2016 we applied to the Parrot Foundation in Belleville for a grant to preserve this historic place,” he said.

“We received $30,000 for the outside work. We spent about $38,000, but we spent a bit extra because we didn’t want just a plain steel roof. We couldn’t afford ce-

dar shingles, so we put the first steel shingle roof on that Home Hardware Timber Mart in Madoc has ever sold.”

After the exterior renovations went off without a hitch, Ketcheson says it was time to move the work inside.

“We re-applied this January and we received $20,000 for work on the inside. We decided on our application to suggest that we’re going to make it wheelchair accessible, which is quite a feat in a 160-year-old building,” says Ketcheson.

“So, this year we spent a total of $29,000 and we have a new ceiling, total painting inside, a new pre-

finished pine ceiling, a deck covering the old steps and a wheelchair ramp.”

The renovations were completed in time for Hazzards Corners 160th anniversary and Ketcheson said that the property is a labour of love – and history.

“Four generations of my family are buried in that cemetery,” he says.

“So, I have very warm feelings, close feelings, that was our home community and I, along with a whole lot of other people, had a feeling that historic places like that should be preserved for generations to come. Even though we never stop working at it.

Educational Drug Safety Initiative for Kids Returns To Trent Hills The Trent Hills Fire Department is once again leading an educational drug safety initiative for local students. Dedicated to helping young people get the facts they need to make informed decisions, this is the 12th time the organization has brought an award-winning safety resource to area kids.

Each student will receive a copy of Drug Safety: Smart choices for LIFE, a comprehensive 112-page handbook geared toward young people, which is full of useful information about the dangers of alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drugs. The materials are produced by Community Safety Net, and are widely used to educate and increase awareness of substance abuse.

Hastings-Roseneath food bank needs volunteers

BY BILL FREEMAN

Hastings — The HastingsRoseneath Food Bank would like to find a few more volunteers.

“We’ve been looking for volunteers. I can say that this year,” president Brenda Kock said during the organization’s fourth annual summer yard sale at the Civic Centre.

The organization has 16 volunteers and operates every Tuesday (afternoons and evenings) out of Trinity United Church in Hastings. In February, the food bank shifted from space in St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church when that church closed its doors.

It was full circle for the organization which first provided services to the community from Trinity United in the 1980s.

The yard sale has been a major fundraiser for the food bank, but Kock says they have a number of new fundraising ideas on the table after a successful brainstorming session. They will add an additional Cram the Cruiser event at Valu-mart during the Labour Day holiday weekend.

The Valu-mart fundraisers “have always been well-supported,” Kock says, “bringing in up-

wards of $1,000 worth of food.”

The food bank has 65 registered families in the HastingsRoseneath area, serving 35 families on average each month, says Kock.

“It’s less these days, which is good news.”

The demand on volunteers is slight, Kock stresses.

“We mostly require people to come on shift once a month.”

Volunteers don’t need to attend meetings if they don’t want to and there’s no heavy-lifting, she adds.

“You’re helping your community and that’s one of the great satisfactions.”

Kock says they even have volunteers who’ve moved to Peterborough, but still return to help out.

“The best volunteers are the ones that come to us.”

Making announcements at churches is not the way they recruit these days, she says.

“Word of mouth is best.”

They recently added two volunteers through an out-oftown connection and have also brought in others during conversations at the yard sale and Hastings Waterfront Festival.

If you’re interested in volunteering call 705-696-110.

Long lunch with long lineups

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Warkworth – This year's Warkworth Long Lunch has been deemed a success even though half of the food trucks expected at the lunch did not show.

“It was a tremendous success,” said Warkworth Long Lunch cochair Perry Melzack, but long lineups were an issue because three of the six food trucks coming from Toronto didn't show up, leaving fewer choices for people looking to be fed.

He won't know for a few days how many people turned out for the Aug. 20 event but he estimated at least 1,200 paid the $2 admission.

“I'm very pleased, that doubles the number from last year,” Melzack said, and is the largest number the Long Lunch has drawn in about six years.

That one was “an absolute debacle because everybody showed up at once” and people got “very angry” standing in a long line under a hot sun.

“It was at that point we realized we just can't handle that kind of volume, given the current format.”

Another factor that led to food trucks being brought in was that the Long Lunch's sole caterer had changed hands and the new owner “was not comfortable ... (doing) an event like this,” Melzack said. “That forced our hands.”

But in his fourth year as cochair of the event he had been “looking to change it up anyway because there is a number of long lunches all around Ontario now,” he said. “So it was time to evolve.”

The choice was made to have food trucks provide lunch serving up different fare, but because three were no-shows, one because of mechanical problems, the lineups were longer than an-

Quotations will be received by the undersigned until 4 p.m. Tuesday September 5th, 2017 for the following:

ticipated.

“Not my fault but ... the buck stops here,” Melzack said.

If all six trucks had been there “the long lines would have been totally, utterly mitigated (and) there would have been far more variety,” he said. “I'm certainly disappointed they didn't show up.”

Melzack said he doesn't mind being criticized as long as it's done “in a nice fashion” and he's given the opportunity to explain what happened.

Even so, “I heard way more positive than negative,” he said.

Among those giving a thumbs up was Blasta Van Kampen, from Cobourg.

“The food was amazing” and there was “great variety,”even with three food trucks missing, she said.

“I really enjoyed it and I really like the format,” said her friend, Marie Matte. “It's a really nice change from the other way. I've been to several over the years ...

the music is great.”

Warkworth resident Adam Quibell was there with his son and daughter.

“It's different from the past few years but it's really cool how it's changed a bit,” he said.

“There's still tons of people here and the food's great.”

Sunday's event included a vintage tiny trailer show and shine for the third year, “the only one of its kind in Ontario,” Melzack said. Entertainment came in the form of belly dancers and the Warkworth Long Lunch Rhythm Band, put together by local musician Howard Baer Melzack is already looking ahead to next year.

“We've learned from our mistakes,” he said. “The event will be bigger, it will be better.”

Revenue from admission will go towards the village's revitalization efforts, led by the Warkworth Business Association, the organization behind the Long Lunch.

Stirling mayor unhappy with lack of commitment by provincial parties

BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling - Stirling-Rawdon Mayor Rodney Cooney says the province’s political parties need to promise to do more to help municipalities pay for essential services and infrastructure.

Speaking at the regular meeting of Stirling council on Monday, Aug. 21, Cooney - who is also the Hastings County warden - said the recent Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) annual conference provided municipal representatives with the chance to talk to members of the three main parties about their concerns. And the result was not to their liking.

“Many eastern Ontario (municipalities) were disappointed in all three political parties,” Cooney said.

The issue was the fact that the provincial government fails to provide enough support to eastern municipalities for essential emergency services.

“The province pays 50 per cent for paramedics and zero for fire (services),” he said.

The province mandated 24-hour fire coverage by all full-time fire services a few years ago.

Cooney said he and other representatives met with the Liberal caucus and learned that the province is looking at doing two pilot projects for extending this to all fire departments.

“We talked to the Progressive Conservative party, and they took a wait-and-see attitude,” he said. “We talked to the NDP party and they said they don’t want to get involved because the NDP is (a) union party and they support the paramedics and the fire, so they don’t want to get involved at all. So it’s real troubling what it’s going to end up costing these small municipalities.

“As we know, there’s two municipalities in Hastings County that have already done away with their fire department. I’m afraid in StirlingRawdon, if this goes forward, our fire department will be over a million dollars.”

Another big issue, he said, is the gas tax.

“If our gas tax was put into roads, we’d have the best roads in the world, but they seem to skim it off. We get roughly seven cents on the dollar from the feds. The provincial gas tax, we get 0.6 cents on the dollar.

“All that funding’s going into subways, basically, and (urban) transit. The funny thing is, people that ride the subways and transit don’t buy gas, so they’re not paying the tax in the first place.”

He said eastern Ontario is running a $160-million deficit every year maintaining roads and bridges, and some municipalities have cut load restrictions in half on some bridges while some are talking about closing bridges. He said Stirling-Rawdon has the same issues trying to maintain bridges.

“I’m guessing it’s going to be $14-$15-million for bridge repairs, and the province is giving us nothing,” he said.

“It was pretty disappointing, all in all, from the three provincial parties — but I know there’s an election coming up, and they’re promising the world, just not in roads.

“It was a frustrating conference.”

Council members agreed that municipalities are being short-changed.

“It should be about five times what it is,” Councillor Dean Graff commented on the funding shortfall.

Stirling Fair brings all ages together

BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling—Three days of fun, thrills and competition wrapped up Sunday, Aug. 20, as the Stirling Fair celebrated its 159th renewal. The event is run by the Stirling Agricultural Society.

Unlike last year, when torrential rain chose the weekend of the fair to end a months-long drought, the weather couldn’t have been better for man or beast. The stunt riders on motorbikes, the Big Daddy Demolition Derby drivers and the heavy horses in weight-pulling competition stayed comfortable, while fair-goers enjoyed the warm sunshine.

Ag Society president Colin Crowe said this year’s renewal of the fair was excellent.

“It went really, really well,” he said. “The weather definitely helped greatly. We had great crowds. It was busier than we’ve had for the last few years.”

Crowe said one of the most talked-about features was the blacksmithing demonstration

by David Brandow, of Guelph, so he hopes to bring Brandow back for next year’s fair Entertainment included the James Barker Band on opening night and the Almost Hip, a Tragically Hip tribute band, as the Saturday night feature act. In the livestock division, there were shows for beef cattle, dairy cattle, goats and horses, a 4H show, plus heavy horse and pony pulls. Other events included the popular tractor pulls and competitions for everything from quilts to butter tarts in the Homecraft Division. Homeniuk Rides was on hand with midway games and rides.

Student bursaries were given out Friday night to Ruby Candler of Stirling and Nicole Sharp.

Both are attending the University of Guelph.

Stirling — The Stirling Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion has helped out the Stirling fire department again this year, thanks to a donation from the Legion Ontario Central Command's Ladies Auxiliary.

On Tuesday, Aug. 15, a cheque for $4,659 was presented to fire Chief Derrick Little and fire prevention officer Sean Porter by deputy zone commander Judy Heasman of Stirling and local branch president Don Godin, first vice-president Donna Graff and executive member Barbara Drensek.

The money is for the department to use in any way it sees fit. The fire chief thanked the legion members for their help, and said it will be put to very good use.

Little said the money will help pay for two new defibrillators and two trauma bags, which contain essential first aid supplies. He explained that the contents of the trauma bags need to be replaced regularly. These supplies include all types of bandages, burn dressings, breathing bags and devices to check pulse and oxygen levels and much more.

OPINION

Name your poison: DEET or Lyme/Zika/West Nile

Trump: the Reagan Gambit?

Last Sunday I wrote a piece on the political crisis in Venezuela. Then on Wednesday I wrote an article on Donald Trump’s hyperbolic language about North Korea. But it never occurred me that the next Gwynne Dyer to article would be about Trump, North Korea AND Venezuela. I forgot about the Reagan Gambit.

In October, 1983, US President Ronald Reagan had a little problem. A massive truck-bomb had killed 241 American Marines in their barracks at Beirut airport.

That was more than a quarter of the total American force deployed as “peacekeepers” to Lebanon – a deployment that had already become controversial in the United States. So Reagan had some explaining to do.

In another part of the world entirely, the tiny Caribbean island nation of Grenada, pop. 90,000, had another military coup – a coup within the coup. A radical pro-Cuban politician called Maurice Bishop,who had overthrown the elected government, was executed by his fellow revolutionaries over some minor differences of opinion. A pity, perhaps, but of no more importance to the rest of the world than Grenada itself.

The Cold War was running quite hot in this period, so although the island had no strategic value the American right was getting upset about Russians and Cubans building an airport on Grenada. In the normal course of events this would probably not have led to an American invasion, but Reagan badly needed a political distraction.

On October 25, precisely two days after the bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut, the US military began a full-scale invasion of Grenada on Reagan’s orders. It was one of history’s most one-sided battles – only 19 Americans killed, although the US handed out 5,000 medals for merit and valour – but it did the trick.

A friend said to me at the time that Reagan had gone home and kicked the cat, which was true enough, but conquering Grenada didn’t just make him feel better.

There’s only room for one lead story at a time, and Grenada pushed Beirut aside in the US media. When Reagan pulled the remaining Marines out of Lebanon four months later, few people remembered to

News.

ask what those other Marines had died for.

And now Donald Trump, stumbling deeper each day into an confrontation with North Korea over nuclear-armed ICBMs he swore that Pyongyang would never get, may be looking for a way out. So on Sunday, he said: “We have many options for Venezuela – and by the way, I am not going to rule out a military option.”

He said it although nobody had asked him if he was planning to invade Venezuela. (It hadn’t occurred to anybody that he might.) And he said it from his golf course in New Jersey. (Reagan made his Grenada decision on a golf course too). And it certainly did take North Korea out of the news for at least one or two cycles.

So be on your best behaviour, all you other governments in Latin America and Canada, or he might come for you too. But is he actually planning to invade Venezuela, a fairly well-armed country of 30 million people?

Trump has already given President Nicolas Maduro’s beleaguered regime a propaganda gift by strengthening its argument that its opponents are all traitors and American spies. Does he realise that an American invasion of Venezuela would trigger both a bloody civil war and a prolonged antiAmerican resistance movement?

Probably not. He knows that Venezuela is a superpower in the “Miss Universe” universe, but he will not have read the full briefing paper unless they remembered to put his name in every paragraph (and he may have caught onto that trick by now).

It would be nice if this threat about Venezuela were evidence that Trump knows he is in over his head with North Korea and is looking for a face-saving way out, but it’s not likely to be true. It’s much more likely to be just another example to his scattershot approach to dealing with a problem: create as many other problems as possible, and the pressure will come off.

Ronald Reagan knew he had walked into a hornet’s nest in Lebanon, and just needed to create a diversion while he found a way of getting American troops out of the Middle East. It’s not clear that Trump even understands that he is in deep trouble, and that he is at risk of starting a nuclear war in order to prevent one.

Stream-of-consciousness decision-making is unfailingly interesting, if you are using “interesting” in the sense of the fauxChinese curse: “May you live in interesting times.” But in real life, that’s the last place you want to live.

Editorial by Chris Malette In a year when we’re being barraged by warnings of Lyme disease-carrying ticks and West Nile-borne mosquitos in nearby Northumberland/Kawarthas, the single, same warning is issued – take precautions, wear protective clothing and apply insect repellent.

More specifically, the warnings say those that contain the active ingredient DEET are most effective. Forget your aunt’s Avon nice-smelling baby sauce to keep these winged and black-legged demons at bay – load up on the guaranteed deterremnt, we’re told. Use DEET. But it wasn’t all that long ago when our own health authorities were telling us toe limit the use of the stuff or even stay away from it, warning it could harm young children, pets and your goldfish, too.

Now, those same authorities are telling us to lather up and lay it on.

A recent Consumer Reports survey of 2,011 adults found that just one-third believe existing insect repellents are safe for adults, and even fewer, just under one-quarter, think they’re safe for children.

Health Canada has deemed the stuff safe and, for those who still believe that DEET will make you grow a third eye or cause cancer, neither the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services nor the EPA’s Office of Pesticide Programs have classified DEET as a carcinogen. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, animal studies have not found an increase in tumours in research subjects who were given oral DEET tablets or who had liquid DEET applied to their skin. One Swedish study did find that men who used DEET for 115 days or longer faced an above average risk of developing testicular cancer. But, the CDC says the study was flawed and the results were not conclusive.

From the US Environmental Protection Agency – from the country that brought us DEET, developed, of course, initially for military use: “Based on extensive toxicity testing, we believe that the normal use of DEET does not present a health concern to the general population, including children,” said the EPA. But, it wasn’t that long ago when we were hearing news reports that Health Canada “is phasing out insect repellents with high concentrations of DEET by December, 2004.”

The department said at the time, “even though DEET is a safe product,” it was only going to allow bug repellents with less than 30 per cent concentration of DEET. Combination sunscreen/

bug lotions were banned outright.

(Hint – if you think you need more DEET, bring back some from from the United States, if you’re there, that can come in concentrations up to 99 per cent. ‘Ben’s’ is a personal favourite.)

Since 1957, DEET has been used to keep bugs at bay. It forms a vapour barrier around your skin so bugs can’t smell you.

Health Canada officials say DEET is just as effective in lower concentrations. It’s just that lower concentrations don’t last as long. (Hint 2 – The ‘good stuff’ from the Excited States lasts all day!)

Here’s what we were hammered with in 2004: Health Canada has also released some guidelines for people using repellents containing DEET: • children under six months of age should not be using it • children between six months and 12 years of age should never have it on their face and hands • children between six months and two years should only use it when there’s a high risk of complications from insect bites and only the least concentrated product should be used sparingly • children aged two to 12 years of age, should use the least concentrated product and do not apply more than three times daily. Do not apply to the face or hands • for anyone 12 years of age and older: do not use any products with a DEET concentration of 30 per cent or stronger But, today, here’s what public health officials are saying about the methods recommended to “fight the bite” to ward off West Nile and Lyme disease vectors: • Cover up: Applying insect repellent or bug spray containing DEET on clothes and exposed skin can keep pests at bay. Clothing also offers an important layer of protection. When possible, wear light-coloured, long-sleeved clothing to keep bugs out and make them easier to spot.

On hikes, wear closed-toe shoes, tuck pants into socks and stay on the centre of trails and paths.

No one is warning you not to use it on children (but, yes, you should be careful not to let little Egbert get it in his mouth.)

It’s simple, really. If you don’t get a tick or mosquito bite, you’re not going to get the diseases the insects carry. Granted, mosquito bites are more ubiquitous, depending on where you live, but we can all heed the warnings and take precautions against either using the repellant.

And, yes, that means DEET. Get over it. It works.

Farmers hoping for September sunshine to save crops

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Northumberland County – The wet weather that began in the spring and has continued through much of the summer has “had a big impact” on crops.

“We won’t know for a while (just) how big a deal that’s going to be,” said Peter Archer, owner of the Maizeing Acres Inc. grain elevator south of Campbellford.

Farmers were late getting their corn and soybeans planted, “some of it very late,” he said, and “now we need lots of heat units to make (them) mature.”

Archer is counting on good weather in September and continuing “into Thanksgiving and beyond” for the corn to “fully mature” and produce “an average crop.”

“It’s not last year’s disaster from the drought (but) it’s not (the) big crop we had two years ago,” Archer said. “It’s somewhere in between.”

And to get there, “we need it to stay hot,” he said.

But if the frost arrives early, “we’ll have a disaster of (last year’s) magnitude.”

With “good heat and lots of sunshine we can grow a fairly decent crop,” he said.

Archer said farmers in the StirlingTweed area have received “way more” rain than farmers in Trent Hills.

“They’ve had a tough go,” he said.

“There are fields (of hay) over there that are still too wet to cut. That’s

caused a big challenge for those guys for sure.”

“It’s been a really trying year,” says Campbellford-area dairy farmer Clair Petherick, expressing a prevailing sentiment in the agricultural community.

“Everything is behind,” he said, because the wet weather earlier this year put farmers behind in their planting – a far cry from last year’s drought.

“We got lots of hay, it’s just getting it dry,” he laughed.

“Too wet and no sun,” echoed Glen Merrick, a Stirling-area dairy farmer and cash cropper, who planted 500 acres of hay, corn and soybeans this year. “It’s a real challenge.”

The hay is “poor quality” but there will be “lots of corn and beans,” he said. “The next month will really tell the story. We need a good September ... (with) dry, sunny days.”

“Planting season was very late,” said Sandra Russett who with her husband Darrell and their two children operate a feed lot and apple orchard near Stirling.

But its impact is nothing compared to that of the drought in 2016, which was “devastating.”

The Russetts planted 1,000 acres of hay, corn, peas, barley, soybeans, and wheat this year.

Ninety-per cent of their land is tiled. Farmers whose fields aren’t tiled are “in a lot worse shape than we are, because it’s still really wet,” she said.

For Archer’s grain elevator business, “it’s not going to be a banner

year without volume if we can’t get this corn to mature, and it has to stay in the field and dry down over the winter,” Archer said. “That’s going to cost us a lot of revenue.”

Fickle weather having an impact on crop yields “is one of those things we have to expect with production agriculture,” he said. “It’s feast or famine.

It’s never a smooth, even go.”

Archer planted 600 acres of corn and 800 acres of soybean this year.

The corn has reached its normal height and looks healthy enough from a distance but closer inspection reveals signs of disease, or rust.

He’s had to apply more fungicide than usual “because of all the wet” to keep the rust in check so it “doesn’t get a lot worse,” he said.

The corn is in “reasonable condition” but the “biggest issue” is that “it’s barely yellow” and “still has a long ways to go” to fill out with starch.

Ideal weather would be 28 degrees Celsius to maximize heat units.

Cooler than that is “just not hot enough.”

More than 90 per cent of the corn he grows will end up in the ethanol plant near Havelock.

Peter Archer said warm weather is needed to salvage “an average crop” from a wet growing season.

Fall fair in September will be Warkworth's 167th

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Warkworth— How do you spell success?

Organizers of the Warkworth Fall Fair know the answer, based on their track record — this is the 167th year for the fair — and it’s a safe bet that if asked, entrants in the spelling bee could come up with the right one as well.

The contest is one of several events that have been added to the exhibition that will take place from Sept. 8 to Sept. 10 at the Warkworth Fairgrounds.

“We’re going back to basics,” said Janet Torrance, homecraft chairperson with the Percy Agricultural Society.

The contest, open to students from Grade 5 to Grade 8, will be held the first night of the fair — the same night fireworks will light the skies for the first time in the village in decades.

Fairgoers will be able to watch them from behind the arena as they’re set off at the soccer field.

Warkworth firefighters have long been involved in the fair, but this year, they will demonstrate how to remove someone trapped in a vehicle that’s been in a collision.

Also, that first evening, the cost for rides in the midway will be just a toonie.

New this year is a five-kilometre Run for the Fair that will take place on Saturday morning, Sept. 9.

There’s a $20 entry fee, but the fair board is hoping participants will “bring a hundred dollars in donations” to be used for “general purposes,” agricultural society president Greg Torrance said.

Kitchen Magic is two local chefs giving demonstrations in the arena on how to prepare beef (on Saturday) and pork (on Sunday).

“There’s going to be taste-testing along with that,” he said.

Another addition is axe throwing, wherein people will be given the opportunity to toss an axe at a target.

Reptilia Cruiser is a large special events truck that contains 26 exhibits including alligators, snakes and iguanas, and comes

with a stage for three interactive shows on the Saturday.

Jungle Cat World will again host a wildlife animal show on Sunday.

Rev. Kevin Fast — the record-setting powerlifting pastor from Cobourg — will be back to pull another stunt, or rather, perform a stunt in which he pulls.

Last year, it was a grain truck weighing about 22,000 kilograms. This year, it’s is a Trent Hills fire department ladder truck that weighs 31,360 kilograms.

The Highland Games will be returning, with Fast again as its organizer.

The Bake Your Best Pie contest and auction will be held for the second year in a row.

“That was a good fundraiser for us,” Janet Torrance said.

Other attractions returning are sheep shearing and herding, Battle of the Bands (with a top prize of $500), Junkestra and Touch a Truck.

“This year, we’re hoping to have a lot more vehicles around for the kids to go take a look at,” Greg Torrance said. “We’ve got a lot of programming for the kids this year, which is a really nice thing.”

Junkestra challenges children to make musical instruments out of tin cans, toilet rolls and other recyclable materials.

A special presentation will be made on Saturday morning to the Warkworth Legion — a framed honour roll from the Second World War found in the Red Barn.

The fair drew about 4,500 people last year.

On a good year, attendance has been as high as 10,000.

Weather is always a factor.

In putting together a fair, the idea is not to stage a “big show that’s going to blow everybody's mind. We can’t afford that,” Greg Torrance said. “We want to make sure ... we can bring something that’s of good value, family entertainment that promotes agriculture, which is part of our mandate.”

MP Bossio tours pop-up Heritage Centre “Dinosaur Lady” brings these mysterious creatures’ story to library

BY SUE DICKENS

Madoc – Touring the pop-up Heritage Centre in Madoc, Hastings – Lennox and Addington MP Mike Bossio had plenty of positive comments about the hard work of the volunteers who made it happen.

“Being from Madoc I was just blown away by what the volunteers and Tom Simpson have done,” he told the Central Hastings News, the day of the tour, Tues. Aug. 15.

Simpson, who is president of the Madoc Lions Club, spearheaded the effort which was a project of Madoc’s Canada 150 committee headed by Joe Kaehler, it has grown exponentially since it opened on July 1.

“It was a trip down memory lane for myself as a kid, seeing all that stuff, recollecting on so many things,” said Bossio.

“How do you move forward if you don’t know where you come from?” he said.

Bossio was particularly interested in the sports section and local schools featured.

“Being a sports nut as a kid, it was great to

go through the sports memorabilia, but also the school display was really neat. I went to Madoc Public School and the high school. To see some of the pictures of the original buildings was very reminiscent,” he said.

“If anybody hasn’t seen this centre you have to get down here and check this out. It’s a real treasure trove of memories they have created.

Hopefully they can find a home for it. A lot of people dropped artifacts off and said ‘keep them’,” he concluded.

Local history buff Grant Ketcheson was among those who accompanied the MP on the tour. He and his wife Gayle have been volunteering at the centre on Mondays. “It is amazing what has been amassed. Gayle helped with the schools display and I did the Moira Lake bit,” he commented.

The Centre is located at Located at 36 St. Lawrence St. W., in what once was a thrift store and is now owned by Anette and Mark Targowski of Peterborough, a couple investing in Madoc and Marmora.

BY SUE DICKENS

Marmora – Dinosaurs may be extinct but their spirit was alive at the Marmora and Lake Public Library recently.

Thanks to Kingston’s Dinosaur Lady, Betsy Cotton, the story of these extinct reptiles was shared with local kids.

In honour of Canada 150 the program recognized one of the best dinosaur graveyards in the world, the Alberta Badlands.

“A retired elementary school teacher, Cotton shared her passion for dinosaurs using one of her favourite books and a slide show presentation about her adventures at a dig sight in the Badlands,” said Madeleine McGregor, library summer program coordinator.

As part of the program Cotton led the children on their very own bone hunt for the legs bones of the “chickensaurus.”

Famous dinosaurs include the Tyrannosaurus Rex which adults and children alike are familiar with and often talk about.

Cotton, who has been seeking out these creatures, has travelled to many dinosaur destinations.

Children at the library had the opportunity to construct models of prehistoric creatures and fossilized footprints.

The summer program coordinators McGregor, who is a

Local MP Mike Bossio returned to his home town to tour Madoc’s Heritage Centre and was accompanied by: from left, Centre Hastings Councillor Eric Sandford; summer student Avery Hinks; Tom Simpson; MP Mike Bossio; volunteer and Heritage Stonemason Eliza Deary; historian Al Danford; and history buff Grant Ketcheson.

second-year English literature student at Trent University and Hailey Nicolson, a Grade 11 student at Central Hastings Secondary School, are looking after several programs throughout the week at the Marmora library.

Tuesday mornings, toddlers to age six can enjoy musical story time from 10:30 to 11:15 a.m.

Tuesday afternoons from 1 to 3 p.m. the girls host the TD Summer Reading Program for kids ages six and up.

There will be a draw for fun prizes at the end of the summer, so the coordinators are issuing an open invitation to kids to get their reading package.

Thursdays the kids take to the kitchen with the Food for Thought program from 3 to 4:30 p.m. where the kids learn simple recipes and kitchen safety.

A recent menu included homemade ice cream and other tasty treats.

An arts and crafts session hosed by the Friends of the Library will be held Wed., Aug. 30.

“Supplies will be provided.

Bring your imagination,” said McGregor.

Crafts will focus on the Marmora fall fair children’s section categories.

Entry sheets and tags will also be available.

Volunteers drivers desperately needed

Madoc — Community Care for Central Hastings (CCCH) is in desperate need of volunteer drivers, says Layla Molenaar, care co-ordinator for the volunteers and diners program.

By putting out an appeal, she hopes people will think about helping this organization. There is gas reimbursement and a flexible schedule to suit drivers’ availability. Meals on Wheels program delivery is Tuesdays and Thursdays and

drivers are scheduled so they can deliver once a month, a week during the month or one day a week.

“Whatever works for you,” said Molenaar.

The volunteers help prepare and pack the meals in Ivanhoe, where the drivers pick them up and take them to their community. They organization is looking for volunteers to deliver in Tweed, Marmora, Stirling, and Madoc.

Only 66 per cent of CCCH funding

comes from the Southeast Local Health Integration Network and the organization is responsible for raising the additional 34 per cent required to run its programs, and “these funds will most definitely assist our senior programs”.

Anyone interested in supporting seniors in any of the areas mentioned can call 613-473-9009.

Anchor of Hope chapter introduces Baby Box

BY MELYSSA GLOUDE

Madoc - Hastings County’s chapter of Anchor of Hope is happy to welcome a new director to the mix along with an innovative program for new parents.

The organization, a locally funded non-profit Christian agency, exists to serve “any pregnant woman regardless of age, race, creed, or marital status.”

New Director Melissa Brown has joined the Anchor of Hope team, a transition, she says, that has been easy.

“Right now, I’m learning the processes and learning how this should work so we can have the smoothest transition,” says Brown.

“My role is to facilitate the programs here and to potentially come up with new programs that we can run in the future, and coordinating volunteers to make sure everything runs.

This is exactly what I had hoped to be doing so I’m very thankful that this is where God has lead me to be.”

One of the newest programs that Anchor of Hope is offering has made it to Canada.

The Baby Box Program – started in Finland and inspired by a Finnish tradition – is an innovative, integrated program equipping parents with education and resources to give their babies a safe start in life. Baby Boxes can be used as a safe sleep space for a baby’s first five to six months.

Victoria Groves, peer counsellor with Anchor of Hope, says the new program is easy – and free – to new parents in the area.

“It gives moms or dads the opportunity to have a little more time to come up with the funds for a crib or something like that. It gives them a little bit more time, which is always nice especially with a new baby.”

The Baby Boxes, made from durable cardboard, are certified to meet all ap-

plicable tenets of the safety standards for bassinets set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission as well as Health Canada Standard regulations.

In order to get a free box, parents first have to complete an online syllabus at ‘Baby Box University.’

“You do training online before you can receive the baby box. You do a quick quiz for it, just so everyone is on the same page. You are then able to come in to the center, Belleville or Madoc, and pick up your baby box.”

As well as the box itself, members of the program also receive diapers, lotion and shampoos along with literature from Baby Box University about programs in the area that parents can utilize.

The program is 100 per cent free.

Parents are eligible to sign up even before a child is born by going online, and can pick it up at a designated Anchor of Hope facility before birth.

“We’re always looking to help parents out in whatever way that we can,” says Groves.

“Cribs and beds are very expensive and often sometimes hard to come by so these, when you’re in a crunch, are fantastic to have.”

More Home Help workers needed in Trent Hills

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Trent Hills – Home Help workers could use more helpers to handle all the work.

More are needed across Northumberland County but especially so in Trent Hills.

Community Care Northumberland currently has about 20 workers in the municipality, which isn’t nearly enough, and “demand for this program is definitely increasing,” said regional community relations coordinator Alicia Vandine.

The program enables clients who aren’t able to do some household tasks on their own to say in their homes longer, she said.

Duties could include light housekeeping, laundry and running errands.

Currently about 100 seniors and adults with disabilities make use of the program across Northumberland; there’s a waiting list of at least 20 people in Trent Hills.

Workers, who are paid $14 an hour directly by the clients, can choose how many they want to work with, “it all depends on their comfort level and their time,” Vandine said.

Patti Drake helps four seniors regularly but there are times she sees others as well who require “special care” if they have become temporarily incapacitated.

“I’ll go in and help them until they’re back on their feet,” she said.

She gets groceries, cleans the house, and does the laundry among her tasks but “sometimes it’s a matter of (providing) company. They just want someone there to talk to (and) have a cup of tea. Whatever they want me to do within my means I’ll do for them.”

Drake works two to four hours a week.

“You make up your own schedule really,” she said.

It’s not the money a Home Help worker earns that makes the job so attractive, it’s what you learn from clients, she said.

“They’ve been around for a long time and I get such a thrill from sitting down with them because I don’t leave without learning something,” she said.

“They’re not just clients to me anymore,” Drake said. “I really learn to love and care for a lot of these people.

They enrich my life and I hope I do the same for them.”

“You make a lot of friends along the way.”

Drake became a home helper for Perley Terry after his wife died more than two years ago.

At first, she couldn’t visit without his “breaking down” over his loss.

“He was giving up.”

But through Home Help he became active again and “he’s a social butterfly now,” Drake said. “He didn’t have to sit at home by himself, there were people out there willing to help.”

Fall fair in September will be Warkworth's 167th JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com

Home Help worker Patti Drake said Perley Terry went from being a client to being a friend.

Warkworth — How do you spell success?

Organizers of the Warkworth Fall Fair know the answer, based on their track record — this is the 167th year for the fair — and it’s a safe bet that if asked, entrants in the spelling bee could come up with the right one as well.

The contest is one of several events that have been added to the exhibition that will take place from Sept. 8 to Sept.

10 at the Warkworth Fairgrounds.

“We’re going back to basics,” said Janet Torrance, homecraft chairperson with the Percy Agricultural Society.

The contest, open to students from Grade 5 to Grade 8, will be held the first night of the fair — the same night fireworks will light the skies for the first time in the village in decades.

Fairgoers will be able to watch them from behind the arena as they’re set off at the soccer field.

Warkworth firefighters have long been involved in the fair, but this year, they will demonstrate how to remove someone trapped in a vehicle that’s been in a collision.

Also, that first evening, the cost

ing about 22,000 kilograms. This year, it’s is a Trent Hills fire department ladder truck that weighs 31,360 kilograms.

The Highland Games will be returning, with Fast again as its organizer.

The Bake Your Best Pie contest and auction will be held for the second year in a row. “That was a good fundraiser for us,” Janet Torrance said.

Other attractions returning are sheep shearing and herding, Battle of the Bands (with a top prize of $500), Junkestra and Touch a Truck.

“This year, we’re hoping to have a lot more vehicles around for the kids to go take a look at,” Greg Torrance said. “We’ve got a lot of programming for the kids this year, which is a really nice thing.”

Junkestra challenges children to make musical instruments out of tin cans, toilet rolls and other recyclable materials.

A special presentation will be made on Saturday morning to the Warkworth Legion — a framed honour roll from the Second World War found in the Red Barn.

The fair drew about 4,500 people last year. For more information about times, events and registrations, visit www.warkworthfair.com.

“She really helped me out,” said Terry who gave the program thumbs up, saying “it’s really good.”

Vandine said “the biggest benefit” of the program is that workers are prescreened, “so there is that comfort level for clients” knowing they have gone through a police check, “and there are no outstanding issues.”

The workers also go through orientation “on what roles they can fulfill,” For family members of clients who employ Home Help, “it’s just that added security knowing there is an extra person coming into check on mum or dad.”

New this year is a five-kilometre Run for the Fair that will take place on Saturday morning, Sept. 9. There’s a $20 entry fee, but the fair board is hoping participants will “bring a hundred dollars in donations” to be used for “general purposes,” agricultural society president Greg Torrance said.

Kitchen Magic is two local chefs giving demonstrations in the arena on how to prepare beef (on Saturday) and pork (on Sunday).

“There’s going to be taste-testing along with that,” he said.

Another addition is axe throwing, wherein people will be given the opportunity to toss an axe at a target.

Reptilia Cruiser is a large special events truck that contains 26 exhibits including alligators, snakes and iguanas, and comes with a stage for three interactive shows on the Saturday.

Jungle Cat World will again host a wildlife animal show on Sunday.

Rev. Kevin Fast — the record-setting powerlifting pastor from Cobourg — will be back to pull another stunt, or rather, perform a stunt in which he pulls.

Havelock Jamboree keeps summer party going BILL FREEMAN bfreeman@theemc.ca

Norwood — It was summer party time at the twenty-eighth Havelock Country Jamboree.

Despite some mixed weather and a horrific Saturday afternoon truckmotorcycle accident on Highway 7 just east of the village that sent five people to area hospital, tens of thousands of country music fans brought their dance fever to the 500 acre site where mega stars like Justin Moore, Lee Brice, George Canyon and Mark Chestnutt rocked out on the massive twin stages.

And sometimes it’s not just the biggest stars that deliver the scorching shows that grab the audience’s attention and draw them into spirit of the music. Cases in point: The Mustang Sally Band and Curve Lake First Nations singer Missy Knott.

The Mustang Sally Band has been a favourite Jamboree guest ever since they kicked off the party in 2009.

The Nashville band was a late fill-in this year for Jana Kramer who had a scheduling conflict and made the trek to Havelock from Put-in-Bay, Ohio, where they were getting ready for a two-night gig. Their Thursday night set blew the Havelock party wide open with a mash-up blend of in-your-face roadhouse rock ‘n' country.

Missy Knott’s Friday afternoon set was a big-time performance that certainly raised her star higher in the sky.

She was as comfortable and confident on the big stage as seasoned hitmakers George Canyon, Mark Chestnutt, Confederate Railroad and Justin Moore who followed afterwards.

No flash, just exquisite singing and a direct connection with fans enjoying the treat. The twenty-eighth jamboree had it all and fans soaked it all in — rain or shine.

Above, Arkansas native Justin Moore rocked the Havelock Country Jamboree on Aug. 18. Top right, Canadian country star George Canyon dazzled during his return to the event.

Invasion of Water Soldier has reached Percy Reach

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Trent Hills – Water soldier, the invasive aquatic plant that crowds out native vegetation and hinders swimming, boating and fishing, continues to expand its presence along the Trent-Severn Waterway.

First spotted in a stretch of water near the village of Trent River in 2008, the plant has made its way downstream to Percy Reach, south of Campbellford.

To map where its populations are located below Lock 8, the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH), in partnership with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, Parks Canada, Lower Trent Conservation, and Trent University, held a Water Soldier Watch Day Aug. 11.

About two dozen volunteers turned out to assist in the exercise led by Robert McGowan, a water soldier management technician with the OFAH. “It’s a serious situation,” he said. “It’s gotten out of control, and we’re working hard to get it under control.”

The “ultimate concern” is that the water soldier could end up in the Bay of Quinte and Lake Ontario – international waters.

Currently the Trent-Severn and

the Black River are the only places in North America where water soldier populations have been found in the wild.

There are different approaches to removing the plant, including hand pulling, mechanical harvesting, and shade cloth enclosures (to prevent sunlight from reaching the plants), but Reward, an aquatic herbicide, has proved to be “the most effective and cheapest method” of getting rid of water soldier, McGowan said.

“We’re seeing positive results ... We saw significant decreases in the large populations on Lake Seymour (last year).”

Since 2014, close to a million dollars have been spent on eradicating the plant.

Water soldier displaces native species, forming dense mats of vegetation that impede recreational activities and decrease plant biodiversity.

Its leaves have sharp, serrated edges that can cut a person.

Similar in appearance to a spider plant or the top of a pineapple water soldier has runners known as offsets that can become a mother plant in one season, “The population can double pretty quickly,” McGowan said.

Some cottagers “frustrated” by

how much water soldier “really limits the cottage experience,” will try to tackle the problem on their own but “it becomes a very daunting task at times because it’s never-ending,” he said. “When you’re pulling it, those offsets fall off and float away.”

The inter-agency working group that coordinates strategies to research, monitor and control water soldier and prevent it from spreading will use the data collected to make plans for this fall’s eradication efforts.

An open house will be held in Campbellford next month to explain what’s taking place and to receive comment and questions from the public. The time and place of the meeting is still to be determined.

Native to Europe and northwest Asia, water soldier was once sold in garden centres for use in ornamental ponds and aquariums until its sale was banned after the plant got into the wild and became a problem.

Anyone who has seen it or another invasive species is asked to call toll-free the Invading Species Hotline at 1-800-563-7711, or visit the EDDMapS Ontario website to report a sighting.

Havelock gears up for 125th birthday bash

BY BILL FREEMAN bfreeman@theemc.ca

Havelock — The village of Havelock is 125 years old this year, and everyone’s invited to the party.

Not to be lost in the deluge of Canada 150 celebrations, Havelock’s quasquicentennial is a milestone that needs to be recognized, says Havelock-Belmont-Methuen economic development officer Brian Grattan. He's been working on an anniversary program to be held Sept. 8-9 with a range of events and activities including a bus tour of Unimin Mine sites.

Along with confirmed program events like the official ceremonies on Sept. 9 (4:30 p.m.) at the municipal office, Grattan expects others to be added as the day approaches.

“Many organizations have offered assistance. There will be lots to do. It’s shaping up quite well,” he said.

The Unimin tours will be held Sept. 8 and 9 with a bus leaving the municipal office at 11 a.m. The tour is by reservation, which can be booked by calling the municipal office at 705-778-2308.

Saturday’s program begins with

the firefighters' pancake breakfast (7 a.m. to 11 a.m.) at the fire hall. The Havelock Lions gun and military show will be held from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Lions Hall.

The official ceremonies include the unveiling of a commemorative monument and burying of a time capsule. Oak Street will be closed to traffic for entertainment and all-ages activities including a visit by the popular “Zoo To You”.

Local entertainers the Next Generation Seaboyer Band (5:30 p.m.) and The Rev-Tones (7:15 p.m.) will be on stage, with fireworks at dusk.

The Havelock Legion is hosting a dance starting at 9:30 p.m.

“It won’t be to the magnitude of the village’s 100th but it is something that does need to be celebrated,” says Grattan. “I’m sure there are more events that are going to come forward as we get closer to the date.”

Grattan admits that Canada 150 celebrations have loomed large across the region.

“It (Havelock 125) has taken people by surprise, but I think the community will come out and celebrate.”

Litter bugs infesting Warkworth school grounds Sara Ann Smith and her three children – Dominick Heller, seven, Maddison Rayner, eight, and Ciera Smith, 10 – also took time to pull weeds from the gardens in front of the school.

John Campbell/Metroland

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Warkworth – The playground at Percy Centennial Public School is being turned into a dumping ground for bottles, cans, cigarette butts, candy wrappers, and more.

The "more" includes a baggie of marijuana with lighters, and no less troubling, the bottles were broken, and the glass shards scattered across the schoolyard.

Sara Ann Smith was so disgusted by what she and her three children found recently that she expressed her outrage on Facebook, reporting they had filled two garbage bags with refuse.

“We truly need to stick together in this small community and take care of our public places where our children or grandchildren or any child plays,” she wrote.

The smashed beer bottles were a new and unwelcome discovery when she went to the school for an interview Aug. 16 to talk about the need to keep Percy Centennial and the community “clean and safe.”

“It's unreal, this is our school,” said Smith, who runs a daycare out of her home around the corner, near the arena. She often takes her children and

the youngsters she cares for to Percy, where they can freely play.

But now she has to be especially vigilant before letting them run about.

“There's a lot of unsafe stuff here,” she said.

Smith and the children had been finding trash “every now and again” and collected “the odd stuff ” in a wagon to take home for disposal.

“But this time, we came over and I (thought) 'We can't even play here anymore.'”

The “breaking point” was finding broken glass near the monkey bars and slide.

“I don't like it, this is school property, and it's not nice,” said Smith's stepdaughter, Maddison Rayner, who's eight-years-old, and will be starting Grade 3 next month. “And it's rude to everyone in the school ... I hate that there is glass everywhere.”

Smith is convinced teenagers are the ones smoking and drinking behind the school but what upsets her most is that they leave the “evidence” behind for children to find.

“Go ahead, have a good time.

Smoke, drink, ruin your life but don't break the bottles and ruin someone else's life (with) your stupidity,” she said.

“Take your stuff, this is a schoolyard.”

And Percy is probably where they went to school at one time, Smith said.

“Show respect for it,” and think about the younger generation.

Parents “should have control of their kids” and be aware of what “they're up to,” she added.

“This is my community, this is where my kids go to school. I don't want this. They should be enjoying their summer, not picking up garbage.”

She and the children have received expressions of gratitude on Facebook for their actions, with comments ranging from “Well done!” to “High fives all around!”

“We got over 108 likes,” in two days, Smith said. "It's nice to be appreciated,” that the children took about two hours of their time to clean up the place instead of playing.

And there was more cleanup to be done two days later when they returned.

Smith and the children also spent time pulling weeds from the garden beds in front of the school.

“School's going to start here soon ... I want to make it look good,” she said.

Meritorious Service Medal recipient to speak to historical society

in history” because the brutal regime waging it is targeting and in many cases assassinating people trying to follow the Hippocratic Oath, he said. “This is a war crime.”

The risks rescue workers face attending to victims of violence in Syria was the subject of an award-winning 2016 documentary, The White Helmets. Included in the film is the work being done by CIMRO. The meeting is at the Hastings Civic Centre at 7 p.m.

Hastings – Mark Cameron, recipient of a Meritorious Service Medal earlier this year for his work as co-founder of the Canadian International Medical Relief Organization (CIMRO), will be the guest speaker at the Hastings Historical Society’s Sept. 6 meeting.

The Hastings native, who’s a paramedic educator in Toronto, and two colleagues established CIMRO principally to train doctors in combat medicine they can use working in places such as Syria.

“I would love to see the medical community in the local area come out and rally around this cause,” he said in an email. It’s very important because they are killing doctors, nurses and medics in Syria “for sport.”

Norwood storyteller revels in ancient art form

BY BILL FREEMAN

Norwood– Betty Bennett revels in the ancient art of storytelling.

The Asphodel-Norwood resident and Peterborough Storytellers member is especially pleased that the art form is undergoing something of a “rejuvenation” with a new and younger generation of storytellers attending conferences and embracing a tradition that predates written languages.

That was evident at a recent national conference in Edmonton, she says.

“It was nice to see that there were a lot of younger storytellers who seemed to be very interested in taking up the art form,” Bennett said before a children’s circle at the Norwood Library.

Next year the Storytellers of Canada conference is at Trent University with an emphasis on indigenous stories.

“It is fair to say that it is rejuvenated,” Bennett agrees. “It is a very old art form.

Before we wrote things down we told stories, stories around the campfire.”

Bennett’s own pathway into storytelling came via a textile course at the Haliburton School of Fine Arts where one of her in-

structors was a storyteller. At the end of the 14-week course Bennett put together her thoughts in oral form.

“At the end he said to me: ‘You are a storyteller.’”

From there she took an “intensive” course at the Toronto School of Storytelling and eventually connected with the Peterborough Storytellers who were in a “dormant state” until about eight years ago when they found space at the at the Peterborough Library.

They currently meet at Emmanuel United Church while the library undergoes renovations; their first “circle” of the 201718 season is Sept. 15 and entitled “Sailors, Selkies and Sirens” hosted by master storyteller and trobairitz (female troubadour) Angelica Ottewill of Trent River.

“I love the audience reaction,” says Bennett. “There is nothing better than a good audience and it doesn’t matter if its children or adults, just that feeling that you can hold people in the palm of your hand with sound of your voice; to see the expressions on their faces you know you’re really getting through to them.”

Local author said writing his “graphic” book ‘Revolving Doors’ saved his life adult, autobiographical novel in which 'Richard' recalls incidents while fostered through 17 residences as a ward of Toronto’s S.W. York Co. Children’s Aid Society.

From his perspective and understanding as a small child, he shares details of memories of unspeakably perverse mistreatment, including perpetual abuse, torture, and even rape.

After years of counselling and treatment for ensuing, debilitating mental illnesses, ‘Richard’ experienced a "blackout", resulting in the sudden awareness of long-buried, traumatic memories.

“I found out I didn’t know there was anything in my past until about 55 years old.

Nothing came up until I had a stroke and was in hospital,” he explained.

“The thing is, I lived my whole life and didn’t know any of this. I knew there was something wrong with me but didn’t know what,” he said grimly.

“So, I was asked to go to group and twoand-a-half years later, all hell broke loose ... It felt like I was fighting for my life, drowning in a well, and being flooded by all of this crap.”

'Richard's most sincere desire is that his story of ultimate survival might encourage similar abuse victims who may be searching for hope in facing and fighting their own demons.

Campbellford — The nightmarish first five years of childhood for Edward George became the subject of his book Revolving Doors, which spells out in detail the “horrors and tragedy” of the initial years of his life.

A warning: the book is graphic and not for children, and could be disturbing to some adults.

“It’s definitely graphic, adult-only. Sex abuse in there is very graphic and it’s horrible is what it is,” he told the Trent Hills News.

“Doing this book probably saved my life.”

Born in 1947, this true account happened in the late 1940s and early 1950s. George hopes to help others. He explains: “If you are suffering from PTSD or sleep apnea or you have suffered various abuses in your past that gave you PTSD, then read the book ... but, it’s a very black story.”

His personal journey began when he put pen to paper and gave his story to his sister Dawn Maree Ketteringham. The siblings had been separated when young.

“I was about 52 or 53 when I found her,” he added, with tears in his eyes.

Using his real name as a child — Richard Ketteringham — he co-authored the book with his sister.

“This was all part of my healing," he said.

Trent Hills no fan of burying nuclear waste near Great Lakes

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Trent Hills – Council has given the thumbs down to an Ontario Power Generation (OPG) proposal to bury more than 40 years’ worth of low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste close to the Great Lakes.

Kincardine, where the deep geologic repository (DGR) is to be built little more than a kilometre from Lake Huron, and the Canadian Association of Nuclear Host Communities, have endorsed the project and want municipal councils across Ontario to give their support as well.

Trent Hills won’t be one of them.

Mayor Hector Macmillan said he didn’t like the idea of putting radioactive material anywhere close to what is the world’s largest freshwater system. “I don’t care how safe they think it is,� he said, when the letter from the mayor of Kincardine and the mayor of Clarington who’s chair of the Canadian Association of Nuclear Host Communities came up for discussion Aug. 3.

It doesn’t feel good, he said.

The two mayors in their correspondence pointed out the DGR proposal “has been the subject of thorough study, including extensive public consultation, hearings and scrutiny by a Joint Review Panel under the auspices of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA).�

The panel’s report in 2015 “leaves no doubt that the DGR is a safe and prudent way to permanently dispose of the low- and

intermediate-level waste, which is currently stored [in canisters] on an interim basis above ground at the Bruce site.�

The plan is to dig a hole 680 metres deep in layers of rock scientists say haven’t moved in more than 50 millions years. The province has given its approval and it’s now up to the federal government, which has asked for more information before it will decide.

Councillor Rosemary Kelleher-MacLennan, chosen president of the Ontario Municipal Water Association earlier this year and a lifelong advocate for safe drinking water, said the proposal “doesn’t make sense.� “We’re looking at the world’s largest freshwater source,� and if the project goes through, “it will be one of the worst decisions the province ever made,� she said.

People living near the proposed site are “scared to death.�

Macmillan suggested writing a letter in reply “asking if they’re out of their minds.

Some risks are not worth taking ... This is one that if something goes wrong, there would be no overcoming it, the water would be gone.�

OPG describes low-level waste as materials that are “minimally radioactive materials such as mop heads, rags, paper towels, floor sweepings and protective clothing used in the nuclear stations during routine operation and maintenance.�

Intermediate level waste “consists mostly of used reactor components, as well as the resins and filters used to keep reactor water systems clean.�

Trent Hills — Better late than even later.

Mayor Hector Macmillan has confirmed that next month, the province will begin a three-year clinical trial of a procedure to treat pancreatic cancer that he says has prolonged his life.

The study was to have begun in the spring, according to the funding announcement the province made last February.

That didn’t happen, so Macmillan confronted the Minister of Health and LongTerm Care, Dr. Eric Hoskins, at the annual Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference in Ottawa last week.

He reminded the minister of his commitment of funding for an Irreversible Electroporation (IRE) study to be conducted at the University Health Network (UHN), “and here we are now six months later and still no study,� he said in an interview.

In the interim, “400 more Ontarians who were candidates like me have passed away.�

Hoskins told him, “The study will proceed in September.�

Macmillan said “it’s good news,� but he still has a “firm belief in show me,� so he has reached out to the UHN “to get some more particulars ... because I’m constantly being

asked if I know what the status of it is.�

The minister’s latest declaration, nonetheless, is “encouraging.�

Macmillan had to travel to Germany last October for an IRE, also known as a NanoKnife, to destroy a pancreatic tumour. The cost was covered by donations.

His experience with the health-care system led him to undertake a campaign to have the minimally invasive form of treatment made available to Ontarians. The province eventually responded to his entreaties by announcing it would provide $2.1 million in funding for the pilot program.

Sixty-six patients with locally advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma will take part in the clinical trial, with half being treated by NanoKnife and half undergoing stereotactic body radiotherapy — to compare outcomes between the two.

Macmillan has said NanoKnife can extend patients’ lives by 23 months on average, and at least five years in his case, if he is “able to get the metastasis down in some manner.�

He’s trying to do so largely by drinking copious amounts of noni fruit juice with special extracts, which he credits for lowering his stage four cancer diagnosis before his operation.

Gaming cafĂŠ opens in Campbellford

BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford – A gathering of youth ready to “gameâ€? were on hand for the grand opening of Webheads – a newInternet gaming cafĂŠ. “I’ve been doing computer repairs for the last few years and it evolved into my wanting a storefront,â€? Vernon Westall told the Trent Hills News. The ribbon cutting ceremony was also attended by local dignitaries.

The Internet cafĂŠ features four high-end gaming PCs and big screen console systems as well as two application PCs that can all be used at an hourly rate which gets less expensive with a membership.

The storefront also has a big selection of board games “for you to stay and play,� said Westall, who is receiving “a great deal� of support from family and friends. “My parents Garth and Cheryl Westall are my staff,� he added with a grin, while his four children watched as the store began to fill with gamers. “It’s taken about two months to get set up and I think I was the most stressed out of ev-

eryone,� said Westall. “My main goal is to offer entertainment for people. A great spot for date nights, family outings, skype calls with long distance friends and family, or just catching up on your homework,� he added. “There’s nothing better than a board game to break the ice.�

Westall offers computer sales and repair services as well as tutorials. “This is a much-needed service and it is really new for our municipality to have an official Internet cafĂŠ and gaming store, and computer repair service,â€? said Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan.

He also sells coffee, tea, cold drinks and snacks plus pop-culture collectibles. He hopes all ages will try out his new business.

Located at 55 Bridge St. E., across from the Aron Theatre, Webheads is open “generally� from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and on Fridays and Saturdays until midnight.

The cafĂŠ is open Sundays from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and closed on Wednesdays.

Campbellford student wins division in world championship barrel racing

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Frankford – Local barrel racer Amy Newman won her division at the National Barrel Horse Association’s Youth World Championships held in Perry, Georgia.

“It was very exciting (but also) super nervewracking,” waiting for the results, Newman said. She was “shocked” when she learned she won.

She placed first in 4D (Division) of the Teen Final with a time of 16.384 seconds, tops among the 24 riders in her grouping for competitors 13 to 18 years of age.

Newman, who’s 15, is only the second Canadian to win the division in 25 years.

Her winnings included $2,245 in prize money, $500 from one of the event’s sponsors, a saddle worth $1,600 (all American), boots, jeans, and a championship buckle to go with two other buckles she earned along the way, which she plans to frame.

That’s a pretty good return on an entry fee of $500.

Newman won with LL Beau Debutante (barn name Fly), a nine-year-old quarter horse she ac-

quired last year before competing at the world championships for the first time, when she also made it to the 4D final. Her now having advanced to the final twice is “unusual,” said her mother, Tina Spooner.

The competition started out with 1,200 entrants and the number narrowed to 200 riders for the finals. They were then sorted into five divisions based on their times after two goarounds. The riders with the fastest times were placed in the first division, 1D, and the other competitors who were a half-second or more slower were slotted into four other divisions.

The top time in 1D, or overall, was 14.86.

Newman, who was part of a 15-member contingent from Ontario that made the trip to Georgia, credited her coach, Leslie Richards, in Belleville, for being “a huge help ... She’s an amazing trainer.”

Although she and her family moved from Norham to the Frankford area last April to open a boarding facility for horses, the Grade 11 student will continue her schooling at Campbellford District High School. Her father, Calvin Newman, is the president of Newman, Oliver and McCarten Insurance Brokers Ltd.

PET OF THE WEEK! Riley

Riley is a sweet ginger male who came in semi-feral and is still pretty shy, but don’t let him fool you–once he’s in your arms, he’s quick to purr and love the attention. His foster family says he’s terrified of dogs, unfortunately, but he loves other cats and is very good with kids. Give this sweet boy a chance and you’ll have a best friend for life!

Father and sons restore Plymouth Duster for Downs Syndrome Foundation

BY MELYSSA GLOUDE

Tweed - It started as just another father-son project.

Four years of hard work later, Justin Basset and his sons Jayden and Jaren are ready to give up the Duster.

“2007 is when we began restoring it,” says Basset, the owner of the fully-restored Plymouth Duster.

“It took four years and was finished in 2011 with the help from my two boys, Jayden and Jaren. They’ve done a lot of passing tools, and going to the flea markets to pick up parts and stuff. They helped work on it when they could.”

The car, a classic 1972 Plymouth Duster, is a semi-fastback two-door coupe version of the compact-sized Plymouth Valiant, currently appraised at $45,000. For most people, parting with a car like that would be hard, but not for Basset and his family.

“You could sell it and get your money back for it, or you could sell raffle tickets, make some of our money back and put it to a good cause. It got the point where we’ve outgrown it, so we’ve chosen to raffle it off, and donate proceeds to the Downs Syndrome Foundation. So that’s what we chose to do.”

Bassets son, 17-year-old Jayden, has Downs Syndrome which makes the benefactor choice close to home.

Raffle tickets for the car have been on sale since March, with Basset and his friends and colleagues using sites like Facebook to spread the word.

“A friend of mine in Kingston, Brent Page, has sold tons of tickets from Oshawa to Ottawa. So he’s been a huge help,” says Basset.

“Tickets are going to be available until the end of the month, and that should be it. The car is appraised at $45,000, we printed 400 tickets at 100 dollars a piece, so the odds are good. One in 400.”

So far, Basset says approximately 300 tickets have been sold. The final draw is expected to be held on the September long weekend.

“We’re hoping to take the car to the head office of the Downs Syndrome Foundation in Peterborough,” says Basset.

“The head director there is going to draw the name.

Jayden Basset, 17, and Jaren Basset, 15, of Tweed helped to restore the Plymouth Duster. The car will be raffled off on the September long weekend with proceeds going to the Downs Syndrome Foundation.

Melyssa Gloude/Metroland

They said they’ve never had a donation this large before.”

Though it may be tough to say goodbye to the car, Basset says this seems like the best option for him and his boys.

“It really started out as me just wanted to fix it up and

drive it,” says Basset.

“But it went way beyond that. Every nut and bolt was taken apart. It was a full rotisserie restoration. A lot of work, a lot of hours; but this is the best way to get rid of it.

Representing many of the affordable and supportive housing providers in the region, the Hastings Housing Resource Centre (HHRC) along with the Housing First Working Group of the Poverty Roundtable HPE, are soliciting immediate help from communities in Hastings County.

These advocates are reaching out to landlords and property owners directly, as there is no inventory of affordable rental housing currently. An acute homeless crisis is looming and these agencies would be grateful for any new affordable units.

The Hastings Housing Resource Centre (HHRC) is a coordinating body for the County of Hasting supporting people who are currently homeless or at risk of becoming homeless to find and maintain affordable housing. Landlords typically come forward and make their listings known through HHRC but right now the gap in availability and the lack of landlords stepping up has created an acute shortage of affordable housing.

“Currently there is no affordable longterm housing available and there are no options,” Cathie West, HHRC. The call for immediate action comes at the end of July where availability of affordable housing points towards zero in Hastings County. Landlords are being asked to contact the HHRC to mitigate the crisis with any rental units that are available and/or could be made available. Anyone who can make available a rental unit is encouraged to take action immediately. “The current reality of zero percent vacancy is putting Hastings County residents out on the streets,” says West.

Affordable housing was declared a crisis in 2005 in Hastings County – re-

search at that time revealed extensive wait times for housing, growing homelessness, people of low-incomes not able to meet market rents and an increased vulnerability to homelessness was widespread across the County. Hastings County developed a progressive plan to address the need for affordable housing, for example it has various rent supplement programs in place. The rent supplements help low income individuals offset the high costs of rent to make it more affordable. Hastings County has also created more units and continues to create housing, while new builds are scheduled the need continues to grow.

“Today we have moved into an acute situation”, Cathie West, HHRC. “There is no affordable housing available. This means families, individuals and seniors will face increasing homelessness with no viable solutions in the near future.

Those looking for housing include many who are working, students, and individuals and families on fixed incomes.”

The most vulnerable group in this crisis are seniors. During 2016, 403 seniors sought housing support through the HHRC and many of these seniors were identified as being at risk of becoming homeless. This is a significant change since 2011 when the HHRC provided service to 75 seniors who were looking for housing. Additionally, there are many seniors who cannot afford to maintain their homes and the escalating costs of utilities are putting seniors at even greater risk of losing their housing.

“We are seeing multiple applicants applying for the same unit which is leaving people with low incomes and barriers, such as disabilities, left out and without shelter,” Cathie West, HHRC. On a yearly basis the HHRC works

with approximately 1,600 people across Hastings County. Their focus is on linking people in need of housing that is affordable with landlords, and housing options to get people stabilized. “We are concerned that without any housing available on the horizon we will continue to see a sharp and dramatic increase in individuals and families facing homelessness,” says West.

Although there is new construction happening the fact is, it won’t be ready until spring of 2018. “With winter looming we are concerned about those who are vulnerable”, says Durant, Director of the Poverty Roundtable HPE. “48 residents were displaced in February of 2017 which has left the community with a gross lack of housing. The Bel Marine crisis resulted in the community having to look at various options and solutions for housing which were already limited.”

“A combination of losses in the housing supply compounded by low incomes in Hastings County and escalating rental costs has lead us here. We hope it won’t come to the point where we need community centres and churches to provide shelter, and we are in desperate need of the Grace Inn shelter opening in Belleville. If landlords come forward with places to let, and our community rallies to make housing available, if vacant homes and suites are made available, potentially Air B&B suites shifted back to long-term rentals we can address the current crisis. Plans are being made regarding how we can address these housing needs as well as preparing for what could be a worsening crisis,” Christine Durant, Director, Poverty Roundtable HPE. Housing First Working Group of the Poverty Roundtable HPE calls for urgent actions to stymie the housing crisis: Calling on landlords to step up; Calling on homeowners if they have suites and units vacant to make them available immediately.

If you are a landlord or have an apartment or house you could rent you are encouraged to get in contact with Hastings Housing Resource Centre at 613969-0830.

First human case of West Nile confirmed for HKPR region

BY SARAH HYATT

Northumberland – With the first human case of the West Nile virus confirmed in the region, health unit staffers are asking residents to take precautions.

On Friday, Aug. 18, the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit confirmed a resident within the region has been infected with the virus.

“This year, because of the weather, the province is saying with the high rainfall and the hot and humid temperatures, this could be the worst season for the West Nile virus since 2012,” said Marianne Rock, manager of communicable disease control, epidemiology and evaluation for the health unit. “And it does, it makes sense when you look at the weather and the fact that the last case was in 2012.”

Health unit staffers are reporting the intense wet weather this spring and summer, combined with hotter temperatures has created ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes.

“We have also seen reports this summer of positive human cases of West Nile virus being detected in other parts of Ontario,” noted Rock.

In the wake of the news of the first human case of the virus for the region, staff is urging residents to take precautions against mosquitoes, saying the need is now even greater. As outlined above, this is the first human case of the virus for the region since 2012.

The person infected with the virus “did not have to be hospitalized and is currently recovering, so that’s really good news,” said Rock.

The health unit’s region includes Northumberland County, Haliburton County and the City of Kawartha Lakes.

“For confidentiality reasons, we cannot be more specific about the area [in which the human case of the virus was confirmed],” said Rock. “What we really want to do is drive home the message not about location, but that the West Nile virus is present within our region.”

As of Aug. 12, Public Health Ontario’s most recent West Nile virus surveillance data indicates there have been eight reported “probable or confirmed” human cases of the virus throughout the province so far this year.

In addition, the HKPR health unit detected the virus in mosquitoes trapped in Haliburton County in early July, confirmed Rock. Mosquitoes have also tested positive for the virus in the neighbouring Peterborough, Durham Region and Hastings County areas this summer.

In other words, “it’s safe to assume the West Nile virus is present throughout this part of the province,” said Rock.

As a result, health unit staffers are pushing people to “cover up and clean up.”

“Don’t be complacent, because wherever you live, it’s important to reduce your risk of mosquitoes that can spread illness,” said Rock.

The virus is primarily spread to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito.

“The biggest thing with mosquitoes is the temperature really drives them and so the hotter it is, the faster the mosquitoes will develop,” explains Rock.

What’s more, the hotter it is, the faster the virus develops inside the mosquitoes and then they can transmit the virus, the manager continued.

And while most people who get the virus do not experience any symptoms reportedly, a small number may develop flu-like symptoms, such as high fever, severe headaches, muscle weakness and stiff necks, say staff.

Symptoms usually develop about two-to-14 days after an infected mosquito bites a person.

In a few cases, people may develop more serious symptoms, including confusion, tremors and sudden sensitivity to light.

The health unit urges people to seek medical attention if they suspect they have the virus.

The cold nights and cooler fall days will eventually cause the mosquitoes to die off. But until then, Rock is stressing residents understand the current hot temperatures and wet weather in recent months has made for “prime breeding grounds for mosquito development, the wet weather and temperatures are big determining factors in the life cycle.”

For now, it’s obvious the mosquitoes are still active and pose a health risk and that’s why it’s very important people to continue to take precautions, she said.

HPV Vaccines

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a group of more than 100 different types of viruses. More than 40 types of HPV are transmitted through sexual contact, including genital skin-to-skin contact and oral sex.

It is estimated that about 75% of sexually active men and women will have at least one HPV infection in their lifetime. Cervical cancers make up about 35% of HPV cancers,but 65% of HPV cancers occur in areas other than the cervix – including some cancers in the back of the mouth and throat.

Cervarix Cervarix protects females against HPV types 16 and 18.Because Cervarix protects against 2 types of HPV, it is called a bivalent vaccine.

This vaccine does not protect against genital warts.

Gardasil This vaccine protects both males and females against 2 types of HPV that cause genital warts (types 6 and 11) and 2 types of HPV that cause cancer (types 16 and 18).

Because Gardasil protects against 4 types of CCS urges you to get your children 9 and older HPV, it is called a quadrivalent vaccine. vaccinated for free through publicly funded school-based vaccination programs, where Gardasil 9 available, to help reduce their risk of developing Gardasil 9 protects males and females a cancer caused by HPV.

Dear Editor, I’ve been enjoying the 800 hectares of natural beauty at Callahan’s Rapids Conservation Area for 28 years. The peace of mind this sanctuary always provides has given me an affordable summer vacation spot as well as a place to recover in solitude from various personal tragedies.

But over the 28 years I’ve watched a gradual decline in its care and maintenance. When I first visited, there were change and toilet facilities and waste receptacles were available. The toilets and waste bins disappeared decades ago, sadly replaced by illegal campsite fire pits filled with garbage. The three main footpaths have been ‘supplemented’ by a maze of rutted trails torn through the thick bush, courtesy of illegal ATV trespassers.

Seemingly Crowe Valley staff are content to sit in their air-conditioned offices and surrender our once pristine conservation area to the vandals. I’ve never once seen a uniformed conservation officer during my dozens of visits to Callahan’s Rapids. Considering it’s a 10 minute drive from Crowe Valley’s Marmora headquarters to the conservation area, I wonder why this lack of monitoring? Ditto the OPP - never once have I seen a cop car stopping all the illegal ATVs. Our local taxpayer dollars are being wasted while we wait for our public servants to perform their duties. The fish and birds, whose breeding areas are being destroyed, are voiceless. Ditto the frogs,

toads, snakes and turtles, that are having their habitat ripped up by fat and lazy ATV joyriders.

There are rare orchids in the woods which are now criss-crossed by ragged trails and illegally chopped down tree stumps. Today I watched a parade of ATVs driving downstream from the Trans Canada bridges to the rapids, a distance of several kilometers. The jerks were often churning through several feet of water, and I kept hoping they’d ruin their noisy idiot machines. The senseless damage they were doing to the habitat is hard to believe.

Simple solutions: for starters I’d like to see a couple of uniformed Crowe Valley Conservation officers in the parking lot on weekends.

Although they are empowered to give tickets, just their presence would cool out some of the garbage leavers and illegal campers. Our local OPP should also visit on weekends, and begin by issuing warnings for the first few weeks to the ATVers. Something has to be done soon, or we’re going to lose this special spot to the vandals among us.

The original donors of this sacred conservation area must be turning in their graves.

For the frogs, toads, snakes, birds, bees, fish, trees, orchids and all our other silent friends who depend on us for their preservation…

Eastern Star donates to Cancer Society Belleville – Shirley Harper, Worthy Matron of the Order of the Eastern Star Quinte #59, chose the Canadian Cancer Society as the recipient of this year’s Worth Matron’s Project.

Harper and Ron Carter, the Order’s Worth Patron, presented Karen White, CCS Volunteer President, with a cheque for $1,345. Harper has been involved with the Canadian Cancer Society for 26 years, as a volunteer driver with the Wheels of Hope program, which assists local cancer fighters with travel to cancer-related appointments.

OES is allocating their donation to cancer research. In light of, the 2017 cancer statistics conclusion that nearly one in two Canadians is expected to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, research is a priority for those working to fight cancer, the fundraisers say.

“Research is at the core of our work,” says Jessica Klein, Community Fundraising Specialist for CCS. “Last year we Shirley Harper and Ron Carter (middle), representinvested $37.4 million in cancer research across Canada.

TRAVEL

Hiking on the formidable, inspirational Appalachian Trail

BY JOHN M. SMITH

On my most recent visit to Virginia, I did a hike on a small section of the Appalachian Trail, and it proved to be quite a workout. After all, it traverses some very rugged, mountainous terrain.

However, my experience simply made me marvel at the determination, dedication, and perseverance that are shown by the true thru-hiker who walks the entire route, from end to end, on a single trip. After all, the Appalachian Trail Conservancy claims that the Appalachian Trail is “the longest hiking-only trail in the world”, at a length of about 2,200 mi./3,500 km., and it passes through 14 states. It extends between Springer Mountain, Georgia and Mount Katahdin, Maine.

The average thru-hiker would be on the trail for five to seven months, so this is not for the faint of heart. However, it has been completed by people of a great variety of ages – from as young as five (a boy who walked the trail with his parents) and as elderly as in the late 80s. A pair of sisters wrote a book about doing the entire trail barefoot. Some participants have even jogged/ran along the challenging trail. I believe that ultramarathon runner Scott Jurek holds the present record for the fastest completion time: 46 days, 8 hours, and 7 minutes. In covering an average distance of about 50 mi./80 km. every day, he admitted that he “faced injury and feats of physical and mental toughness like never before”, but he achieved his goal of being the fastest.

Only a small percentage of the hikers who attempt to do a thru-hike are successful, of course, for there are many trials and tribulations to be faced along the way, including fatigue, blisters, injuries, accidents, weather, and poison ivy.

There have been journey-ending incidents with bears, wild boars, and rattlesnakes, too.

I believe that it takes a special drive and a certain type of person to attempt such a feat. Dennis Blanchard, author of Three Hundred Zeroes: Lessons of the Heart of the Appalachian Trail, asked: “Have you ever dreamt about doing something totally foolish, something so absurd that perhaps you were afraid to tell anyone except possibly those closest to you? I harbored such a secret for most of my adult life — I secretly wanted to hike the Appalachian Trail [A.T.] from Georgia to Maine.” Well, he did it with a companion – and wrote his entertaining book as a result. One of his memories is retold here: “Thousands of grasshoppers were jumping everywhere; I felt like I was walking through popping popcorn. These critters made me conscious of my surroundings, since many snakes eat grasshoppers. When it comes to rattlesnakes and copperheads, the locals there have a saying that the third person gets bit. The theory is: the first person gets the snake’s attention, the second person gets the snake aggravated, and the third person gets bit. There were only two of us, but I didn’t feel like testing the theory.”

Indeed, there have been several worthwhile books written as a result of this particular hike through the eastern states, and perhaps the best and most humourous of them all was travel writer Bill Bryson’s A Walk in the Woods (which was also made into a movie starring Nick Nolte and Robert Redford). He attempted to walk the trail with a companion, but they never completed it. However, he did communicate about the simplicity of life on the trail: “Life takes on a neat simplicity, too. Time ceases to have any meaning. When it is dark, you go to bed, and when it is light again you get up, and everything in between is just in between. It’s quite wonderful, really.”

More than 2 million people are said to do at least a oneday hike on the Appalachian Trail every year, and several thousand will begin an attempt at a thru-hike. Some will even turn around after successfully completing the hike, and walk all the way back! This is known as a “yo-yo.” A few will even complete the “Triple Crown of Hiking in the U.S.”: the Appalachian Trail, the Continental Divide Trail, and the Pacific Coast Trail.

If starting your hike in the early spring (March or April), it’s best to begin in Georgia (to avoid Maine’s cold and snow), and most thru-hikers will plan to stay in the shelters and tent sites that are spaced out about a day’s hike apart along the route. In Blanchard’s book, he commented on these shelters: “Only on a few rare occasions, when I was either very tired or the weather was just terrible, did I sleep in shelters. The mice rule the shelters, and if there are no mice, that’s because there are lots of snakes eating the mice…take

I thought that my solo bike ride across Canada was quite an accomplishment, but I don’t think that I’ll be trying a walk of the entire Appalachian Trail. However, many of these thru-hikers do take breaks, from time to time, in the nearby towns that are found near the trail – to clean up and to replenish their food supplies.

During my short day hike on the Appalachian Trail, I stopped at the Punch Bowl Shelter, and here I met a thruhiker who was camped out for the remainder of the day.

He’d been walking since March – and hoped to complete the trail in September. He said that all thru-hikers are given trail nicknames, and he was now known as ‘Blood Mountain’. He was heavily tattooed, and he proudly showed off a large tattoo on his belly that read: “The mountains are calling and I must go.” So here he was!

I also met four more thru-hikers that very day (one from Texas had the nickname of ‘Cantaloupe’), and they were all determined to complete the walk by autumn. More power John met thru-hiker ‘Blood Mountain’ at the Punch Bowl to them!

After the release of their second full-length album made us strangers, they’ve been touring Canada and the US relentlessly, earning accolades wherever they go.

Mohawk Fair continues century-old tradition

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory – Pat Brant can remember a day when the Mohawk Fair was a reunion of sorts.

For many years, people from the Mohawk nation were spread across Ontario and New York and the annual August weekend event, she explained, provided a good excuse to travel back home and be with family and friends.

“It was a homecoming,” said Brant, the President of the Mohawk Agricultural Society.

That, she believes, happens less now, but the spirit of the event remains the same. The fair provides one of those few times of a year when people are encouraged to break from their busy lives and celebrate their community.

That spirit, today, remains strong. This year’s fair was the 117th edition in history; a proud accomplishment for the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory community, located just east of Belleville.

“It’s about trying to keep a good thing going,” Brant said, cheerfully. “To see the community doing well.”

The weekend event at the Old York Road fairgrounds got off to a great start, as more than 1,500 people packed grandstands on Friday night to see the always-popular demolition derby.

On Saturday, there was a casual atmosphere as families enjoyed the midway, took in a classic car show, and watched events from the grandstand, including square dancing. Inside the building there were craft activities for kids and ribbon-winning vegetables on display.

Brant said the fair’s longevity is also a testament to the volunteers. A small core group works year round to prepare for the fair and about 120 volunteers are needed when the weekend comes. Those volunteers are “people who really care about their community,” she said.

At right: Gary Maracle shows off his headdress made from eagle feathers.

He inherited it from a dying Mohawk man living elsewhere in Ontario who wanted to pass it on to another Mohawk, who could keep his family’s legacy alive.

Top right: 10-year-old Beya John, who was visiting from New York State, works on a craft at the Mohawk Fair, with the help of Lisa Brantfrancis.

about 15 dedicated volunteers, is moving forward to go to city council in October to try and get a field within the city limits.

“We will ask the city for their support in helping us take this over as a city field,” says Chesher.

“We will make sure that we raise the funds so that will mean a lot of campaigning and a lot of fundraising, and then we’ll hand it over to the city to maintain and take care of.”

According to Chesher, the project will come with a $400,000 price tag.

“We’re trying to get all-accessible dugouts, a field with rubberized turf, a score booth, accessible bleachers, completely fenced in property and a picnic area,” says Chesher.

“We’re really shooting for the stars on this.”

Though the diamond is still in the planning stages, the folks at Challenger are already accepting donations: to donate or to learn more about the program, visit www.challengerbaseball.ca.

Nic Hogan, 26, of Foxboro is part of the Challenger Baseball league which provides an opportunity for children and adults with cognitive or physical disabilities to enjoy the full benefits of participation in baseball.

Confidence comes from feeling good about yourself – your skills, your intelligence, and your appearance. Children with crooked, gapped and overlapping teeth are often teased by their peers, leading them to hide their smile – and their true personality.

Havelock – Five people were sent to area hospitals, two with life-threatening injuries, following a collision between a pick-up truck and three motorcycles east of Havelock on Aug. 19.

A group of seven motorcycles was travelling east, near Weller Road, just before 1 p.m. when a westbound pickup truck crossed the centre line and struck three of the bikes head-on.

It was reported one of the riders may have sustained a traumatic leg amputation in the collision, but the actual injuries have not been detailed by police.

Emergency responders including firefighters, paramedics and members of the Peterborough County OPP were at the scene of the collision which occurred during the third day

of the Havelock Country Jamboree.

Both police and paramedics already had teams stationed on the nearby jamboree grounds.

The highway was shut between Mary Street and the Sixth Line of Belmont with Havelock-BelmontMethuen firefighters rerouting east and westbound traffic via Mary Street, County Road 46 and the sixth Line of Belmont.

Traffic continued to move through the area despite the detour and heavier volumes visiting the village for the Havelock Jamboree.

The OPP collision reconstruction team was at the scene to measure and document the incident.

The highway was reopened shortly before 10:30 p.m. Saturday night.

No further details are available regarding the motorcyclists or the driver of the pick-up truck.

Husband and wife team open two new businesses in Stirling

BY TERRY MCNAMEE

Stirling—With two snips of the scissors on Saturday, Aug. 12, Mayor Rodney Cooney cut the ribbons to officially mark the grand opening of two new businesses in town, both owned by Greg Belyea and his wife, Shari.

Excess Storage and Extreme Clean Detailing are both located in one building at 2472 StirlingMarmora Road.

The building was completely gutted and redone to create the self-storage facility and the auto detailing shop.

“We took possession April 17,” Belyea said. “I’d love to plug Engel Construction, because they did a great job for us.”

The facility is climate-controlled, making it unique in the township, he noted.

“Outside of Stirling-Rawdon, there are other options, but in Stirling-Rawdon, we are the only one,” he said. “We have 60 units total. We have 11 outside which are 24-hour access, and 49 inside.”

The main building has a variety of storage room sizes on two different levels. There is a wide door on each end so that people can drive in, unload (or load up) and drive on through instead of backing out, with plenty of room for two vehicles to pass each other.

The detailing business is run by Steve Wilder. The service offers a complete cleaning service inside and out, from vacuuming and shampooing the interior to an exterior wash and wax.

All Trailers Are Subject To HST And Ontario Tire Tax. Pre-Delivery Inspection Is Included At No Charge.

Trailers are subject to Freight Charges.

Please call for prices.
