Roseneath Fair shines under scorching skies

GEROW PROPANE LTD.

OVER 60 YEARS EXPERIENCE

BY BILL FREEMAN

Roseneath — The Roseneath Fair shone under scorching skies over the weekend.

It was more dog days of summer than fall harvest weather as the 149th edition of the fair welcomed visitors from around the region. Record-breaking heat ruled the weekend that included two full days of events, competitions, exhibitions and demonstrations and a Friday evening truck and tractor pull to kicks things off.

The fair included everything from traditional dairy and beef shows and homecrafts to sheep dog demonstrations, the Woofjocks canine all-stars, the Tough as Nails strongman competition and Tom Bishop’s Wild West Show.

The BMX Connection stunt show, demolition derby and antique tractor added to an eclectic mix that has proven successful for the Roseneath Agricultural Society.

Society president Alice Murray has been involved with the fair for 40 years and says she’s still astounded by the work volunteers do.

“They’re dedicated and willing to come out any time of the day. I’m very proud of them,” Murray said.

“We’ve grown an awful lot since we started bringing horses in here.”

She joined dignitaries on stage with RCMP Corporal Jason Marsden of the Alderville First Nation to officially open the fair. Corporal celebrations.

Hospice’s first butterfly release, celebration Stirling needs volunteers for Meals of life held in Marmora on Wheels

BY SUE DICKENS

Marmora — More than 100 people attended an emotional and spiritual event Saturday.

Hospice’s first butterfly release was a celebration of life event held in Marmora.

“We will be releasing 135 Monarch butterflies in honour of those loved ones that we have lost and for those that we are taking care of,” said Carrie Salsbury, community co-ordinator, prior to the event.

On the day of the celebration at Marmora Memorial Park on Saturday, Sept. 23, many of the Hospice volunteers joined the families who had purchased butterflies.

Bonnie Derrett, one of those volunteers, released two butterflies.

“I got one in memory of family members and others that have depression and suicide (in their lives), the other was purchased by a man who was in Hospice House and it’s a real joy to say he is now in a nursing home in Marmora.

It wasn’t his time. He bought a butterfly and asked if I would release it,” she said.

Heidi Griffith, executive director of Hospice welcomed everyone. “The commitment of our community through sponsorship, volunteerism and support represents endurance as we enter the 26th year of helping those providing care to those with a life limiting illness and supporting their families,” she said.

Noting the demand for their services has increased she added, “We continue to strive to

change and to transition to meet the needs of people where they are in the final stages of their life.”

Municipal politicians attending included Linda Bracken, deputy mayor of Marmora and Lake and Jo-Anne Albert, mayor of Tweed.

“I personally look at the trained hospice caregiver volunteers as angels,” said Deputy Mayor Bracken. “What you do for others, your kindness, compassion and caring way means so much to the person you are caring for and their family.”

Tweed’s mayor spoke to everyone as well.

“The hospice has become a vital part of our community ... How very rewarding volunteering must be, knowing you’re helping or assisting someone or a family at one of the saddest times ... today’s butterfly release is such a wonderful way to celebrate the lives of our loved ones.”

Greg Loft from Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory read a ceremony of condolences and then spoke of their teachings. The Indigenous legend of the butterfly was explained by Joshua Bailey who talked about his grandmother who was at Hospice House where “she received tremendous care and compassion.”

The release of the butterflies happened on the grounds of the park creating a “magical moment” for everyone.

Club were all part of the day.

As well a sign-up sheet was on site at a Hospice display with information to encourage people to think about volunteering.

Stirling — If more volunteers can't be found, deliveries of Meals on Wheels in Stirling may have to be reduced.

In a letter to StirlingRawdon council, Meals on Wheels care co-ordinator Noreen Reilly said the service has a shortage of volunteers to deliver meals to vulnerable seniors still living in their own homes.

She said deliveries are made every Tuesday and Thursday, except on holidays.

“Volunteers can be a team from a community group or individuals offering the donation of their time once a week, once a month or once every few months,” she wrote. “The larger the number of volunteers, the less each would be asked

to deliver. We provide tax receipts based on mileage but we can also reimburse (on a) monthly basis on a prorated amount for each route.”

“Keeping seniors in their house is a lot better for the senior and a lot better for everyone involved,” said Mayor Rodney Cooney. “It would be great if anybody knows anybody that has some time (to volunteer).”

Meals on Wheels is a program run by Community Care For Central Hastings Anyone interested in helping to deliver Meals on Wheels can email Noreen Reilly at noreenr@ccch.ca or phone 613-473-9009 (toll-free 1-800-554-1564 option 2).

Hastings Early Years Centre faces axe in County plan

BY BILL FREEMAN

Hastings – The Ontario Early Years Centre (OEYC) in Hastings faces closure as a permanent site under a plan approved by Northumberland County Council Sept. 20 and it’s being met with shock and outrage.

The Hastings OEYC has been an early learning hub and resource for young families and caregivers in the community since 2003; it is the only one in Northumberland facing the axe under the county’s plan undertaken to usher in the Ministry of Education’s new Ontario Early Years Child and Family Centres (OEYCFC) which “unifies” provincially-funded child and family programs into a single system.

The province wants centres to be located in schools where possible. Northumberland will have nine across the county. Hastings is the only community slated to lose its current permanent site.

In the county’s draft plan Hillcrest Public School becomes the “main” location serving Trent Hills; “targeted programming” and “outreach” services to Hastings “will be a priority,” it says.

The Ministry of Education will review the implementation plan with programming slated to start in early 2018. A local service provider will deliver programming following an RFP selection process.

The county will manage the OEYCFCs taking over the role currently played by the YMCA

of Northumberland. It has made allowances for “possible adjustments” as things roll out.

Northumberland acknowledges that Trent Hills is “very isolated from the rest of (the) county” but seems not to differentiate Campbellford from Hastings in measuring needs and the value-added programming that already exists.

Measured against population, the Hastings centre is one of the busiest in Northumberland.

The prospect of losing the permanent Hastings site has triggered a groundswell of frustration, anger and disappointment.

“This has shook us,” daycare provider Sherrill-ann Wardle said.

Wardle uses the centre multiple times a week and agrees with the

programming changes but “not the way they’re going about it.”

“As a daycare provider I’m trusted with these children but they keep removing those resources meant for the youngest in our community and they’re not replacing them,” she said in an interview.

“They’re replacing it with something further and smaller and with less benefit to the people in this community. It’s frustrating. Our centre is not closing because of lack of use.”

The Hastings OEYC runs extra-curricular programming that draws people from other communities to Hastings, she said, citing “get active” mornings at the field house which attract as many as 75 children.

“I’m devastated by this,” adds Dawn Dawson. “We have so few resources in rural areas.”

“I’m beyond upset about this,” said Taryn Manning. “I feel like I’m losing part of my family.”

As a stay-at-home mother, Manning says the Hastings OEYC allows her to connect with other adults.

Senior Skye Morrison is starting a petition and is prepared to speak at County Council.

“Any kind of services we have we need to not only maintain but improve,” Morrison said. “This is shocking. If they’re going to move it or change it why don’t they move it in Hastings?” “(We need to) say something clearly and take it to a wider level.”

County plowing match rolling into HBM

Havelock — The Peterborough County Plowing Match is one year short of 100 and it will be tilling up fields in Havelock-BelmontMethuen on Sept. 30.

chance to claim plowing bragging rights for the year.

“I’m all excited. I think it’s going to be a wonderful event,” association member Shirley Patterson says of the event and its return to HBM. Patterson is also “thrilled” that the Dafoes, the 2016 Peterborough County Farm Family of the Year, are hosting the match; their daughters Beth, 19, and Amy, 14, are both longtime 4-H members and respectively Peterborough County Queen and Princess of the Furrow.

Both girls will be in Huron County to participate in the International Plowing Match.

“We’re honoured to be asked,” said Tracy, “We’re looking forward to it.”

She says they're on track for the Sept. 30 event.

“We’re getting there. It will be last minute details but it will all fall into place. It’s just preparing the fields but the plowmen are very supportive.”

“It’s pretty cool,” says Amy, a Grade 9 student at Holy Cross Secondary School. “I’ve never been to the international so this will be a great experience.”

Beth, a Fleming College nursing student, has enjoyed her time as Queen of the Furrow.

“I’m glad I got the opportunity to do it. I would have been disappointed if I hadn’t. I’m so glad I did it. I’ve met so many new friends over this experience.”

Patterson says the association is already working on plans for the 100th anniversary match.

“We hope to make it a big splash.”

The Government of Ontario is redesigning the provincial early years system so that there are greater connections between childcare, early years programs, and elementary school.

An important part of this system will be the creation of new Ontario Early Years Child & Family Centres (OEYCFCs). These new centres will replace Ontario Early Years Centres (OEYCs) starting in 2018. The province has tasked Northumberland County with planning and overseeing these Centres for our community. County Council recently approved a plan for establishing nine OEYCFCs throughout Northumberland.

These centres will offer high-quality early years programs for children, as well as resources for families. Visit www.NorthumberlandCounty.ca/EarlyYears for more information.

OPINION

It’s election season. Got your haz-mat suit?

Germany: The rise of the right Angela Merkel’s slogan in her campaign for a fourth term as Chancellor was terminally bland and smug – “For a Germany in which we live well and love living” – but it did the job, sort of. Her DemoGwynne Dyer Christian cratic Union (CDU) is back as the largest party, so Merkel gets to form the next coalition government. But the neo-fascists are now in the Bundestag (parliament) too, for the first time since the collapse of Nazi Germany.

It’s not Merkel’s fault, exactly, but the numbers tell the tale. The CDU had its worst result ever, down from 40 per cent of the vote at the last election to only 33 per cent this time. And it looks like the 7 per cent of the vote that the CDU lost went straight to the Alternative for Germany (AfD), the neofascist party, whose support was up from just under 5 per cent last time to 12.6 per cent this time.

That makes the AfD the third biggest party in the Bundestag. All the other parties have sworn to have nothing to do with it, so Merkel’s party will have to seek its coalition partners elsewhere. It will take at least a month to make the coalition deal, which will probably link the CDU with the businessfriendly Free Democrats and the Greens, but that is not the big story. The rise of the hard right is.

‘Rise’ is a relative term, of course: only one German in eight actually voted for the AfD. But that is still shocking in a country that thought it had permanently excised all that old Nazi stuff from its politics. And if you look more closely, the AfD’s support was strongest in the same parts of the country that voted strongly for the Nazis in the 1933 election that brought Hitler to power.

The AfD was founded by an economics professor who just wanted Germany to leave the euro currency.

Alice Weidel, the AfD’s co-leader, has described Merkel’s government as “pigs” who merely serve as “marionettes of the victorious powers of the Second World War, whose task it is to keep down the German people.”

And the party’s other co-leader, Alexander Gauland, said in an election speech last week: “We have the right to be proud of the achievements of the German soldiers in two world wars.”

CENTRAL HASTINGS TRENT HILLS

That sort of comment might be interesting to debate in a university seminar on German history, but 72 years after Hitler’s death it is still too soon to say out loud in a Europe that was ravaged by German armies in the Second World War. Gauland, Weidel and their AfD colleagues are playing with fire and they are well aware of it.

The truly alarming thing, however, is not the occasional echo of the Nazis in AfD rhetoric. It is the fact that Germany is conforming to a general trend towards the authoritarian, ultra-nationalist right in Western politics.

Each country does it in its own historical style. The pro-Brexit campaign in the United Kingdom last year was actually led by isolationist “Little Englanders”. Their implausible promise of a glorious free-trading future for the UK outside the European Union was just a necessary nod in the direction of economic rationality – but the Brexiteers won because enough people wanted to believe them.

Similarly, Donald Trump fits comfortably into the American tradition: he is channelling American demagogues of the 1930 like Huey Long and Father Coughlin. The economic situation of American workers and the lower middle class today is close enough to that of the 1930s that they responded to his mixture of nationalism, dog-whistle racism and anti-big-business thetoric by voting him into the presidency.

In France, Marine Le Pen appealed to nationalism, anti-immigrant sentiment and the resentment of the long-term unemployed to win almost 34 percent of the vote in last May’s presidential election. She lost, but the more important fact is that one-third of French voters backed the neo-fascist candidate. And now, in German, the AfD. The common thread that runs through all these events, beyond the racism, nationalism and xenophobia, is economic distress. The economies may be doing well, but a large proportion of the people are not. The gap between the rich and the rest was tolerated when everybody’s income was rising, but that has not been true for 30 years now, and patience among the “losers” has run out.

This is still early days, but the direction of the drift in Western politics is clear, and it is deeply undesirable. The only thing that will stop it is decisive action to narrow the income gap again, but that is very hard to do in the face of the currently dominant economic doctrine.

Houston, we have a problem.

Editorial by Chris Malette Election season is approaching.

How to tell? The nastiness meter is creeping from “warm” to “hot enough to roast your nuts by.”

We’re in for a nasty, heavy election year in 2018, heading to the polls in June to choose a new provincial government and in October for municipal governments.

Sigh.

I once knew an editor who actually admitted he was a “political junkie…” and loved everything about elections. After 40 years covering them, this scribbler loathes them and here’s why.

It’s a down and dirty game at the best of times, absolutely soul-sucking when it goes gutter war.

Case in point: the attack ads have begun. Yes, yes, they’ve been debated ad nauseam and the consensus is pretty plain – agreed, we all ‘abhor’ them, think they’re crass and classless, but, dammit, they work.(Well, in many cases they work – except the positively horrendous ‘But, he has nice hair’ campaign that flopped horribly for the Harper Conservatives in the last federal election.)

We’re seeing the first instance of ‘ugly time’ on the airwaves with the first rollout of attack ads on the woman who promises to be a virtual piñata of pummelling ads by next June, Premier Kathleen Wynne.

The Progressive Conservatives have unleashed a new attack ad against “untrustworthy” Premier Kathleen Wynne that accuses the governing Liberals of being corrupt.

Wynne has enough on her plate trying to defend ballooning hydro costs, the perception in rural Ontario that the urbanite Wynne ‘just doesn’t get us’ and on and on. Many mutter, none to quietly, either, about everything from her looks to the fact she’s a lesbian. You say it’s 2017? Not everywhere, friend.

Released last week, the U.S.-style attack features a grim-faced Wynne against a red and black backdrop as an ominous true-crime soundtrack plays, reported the Toronto Star.

The ad comes with “sound effects reminiscent of jail cell doors being clanked shut, the ad splashes headlines critical of the Liberals from the Star and other news outlets.”

“Kathleen Wynne is untrustworthy,” intones the male narrator in the 30-second commercial that is airing on numerous channels in prime time and on CP24 around the clock.

“The Liberal party is politically corrupt. From the gas-plant rip-off and eHealth billions to their cash-for-access fundraising scheme,” he continues.

“Now the premier is testifying at a bribery trial.

Just imagine what’s next,” says the narrator.

“Kathleen Wynne will say anything to get elected. You can’t trust her or them ever again.”

While the ad boasts a small Ontario PC logo, there is no mention of Tory Leader Patrick Brown.

Wynne is threatening to sue Brown for defamation after he incorrectly claimed on Sept. 12 that she was on “trial” in the Sudbury byelection bribery case.

On the eve of her taking the stand as a Crown witness, the Tory leader said Ontario had “a sitting premier sitting in trial” and that she “stands trial.”

Brown, for his part, defended the hard-hitting TV spots, which are airing as the criminal trial of two top ex-McGuinty aides — David Livingston and Laura Miller — continues. They have pleaded not guilty.

Let’s be clear, the provincial election is going to be all about slamming the now-easy target of Wynne and her second term Liberal government and little to nothing of substance about what the other guys plan to do.

Need much context locally? Prince EdwardHastings MPP Todd Smith was quick to interject the buzzword “scandal” into a discussion on the Sudbury byelection hearings in a recent appearance to the cozy confines of his former employer’s radio program, Lorne Brooker show. The host mentioned the appearance by Wynne to testify and Smitty chimed in, “You mean the byelection bribery scandal…” Stick in the shiv, twist, wash, rinse and repeat.

Last weekend, in front of a packed hall at the Port Hope Lions Centre, David Piccini was elected as the Progressive Conservative candidate in the riding of Northumberland – Peterborough South.

He’ll take on Liberal stalwart Lou Rinaldi in the June election.

“I have heard from countless residents who are in despair over the increase in taxes and rising hydro prices,” Piccini said, sticking to script. “People simply cannot afford to pay their bills. Wynne’s tax hikes and reckless spending spree on the backs of the hard-working people of (your riding here) Northumberland – Peterborough South is simply unacceptable.”

You have been hearing it from Smith and will hear it endlessly from Groundhog Day-resurrected Tory darling Daryl Kramp, who plans to run, this time, for provincial politics out of HastingsLennox & Addington.

We’re seeing the politics of smear broadly played in places like Brighton and Belleville councils, where the knives have long been out for mayors there. Background operatives and frontline muck-chuckers are hoping just one whiff of scandal will stick to their opponents. Why? Because it works.

As Ron Burgundy said, “Stay classy, San Diego.”

Mosaic commemorative bench celebrates Canada 150 and Trent Hills’ Artworth summer camp

BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford — The unveiling of a commemorative mosaic tile bench created by the children of the Artworth Trent Hills’ summer camp took place at the grounds of Westben recently.

Pisces Pete from Hastings, the Millennium Lilac Trail in Warkworth, the music at Westben, the Toonie in Old Mill Park, soccer, hockey, maple syrup and more — it’s all captured on the mosaic tiles embedded in a 700-pound concrete bench created to celebrate Canada 150 and Trent Hills.

There’s even sheep, cows and chickens to reflect the rural landscape and a fishing marina, depiction of Rice Lake, Ferris Provincial Park and an artist’s pallet demonstrating the many talented artisans who live here.

The event marked a “real community partnership project between Artworth and Westben Arts Festival Theatre who together successfully applied for a community fund grant for Canada’s 150th from the Campbellford/Seymour Community Foundation (CSCF). They received $1,356 for the project.

Monica Johnston from Frantic Farms Clay and Glass and Gallery in Warkworth lead the project and her partner, Paulus Tjiang, created the concrete form for the bench.

Johnston has produced reproductions for the Royal Ontario Museum and has contributed to private and public collections, including for King Carl Gustaf of Sweden. She shares her joy of creative clay by teaching students ranging from preschool age to pre-retire-

“We had three different groups of kids at Artworth and they all signed their names on tiles. They helped me with the concept and helped me paint,” said Johnston.

“We wanted something that was monumental for posterity. Concrete will last a long time. These colours will a grin. The date 2017 is stamped into together of the whole community, a joyous comment,” said Brian Finley, probably stay the same except for nu- the underside of the cement bench.

“I just think it’s a great coming Westben co-founder and artistic/manclear fallout,” commented Tjiang with aging director.

Trust fund being set up in Marmora to help Eight new jobs being created at Marmora plant family of 10 burned out of their home

BY SUE DICKENS

BY SUE DICKENS

Marmora — When tragedy strikes in a small town, folks rally to help. This is exactly what is happening in the case of the McFaul family who lost everything when their Cordova Road home was destroyed by a fire on Sept. 10.

Ed and Melissa McFaul and their eight children survived the blaze and they are now living in two mobile trailers on their property.

Garry Poirier, of Poirier Brothers Motors in Marmora, said he and local teachers Jason Carman and Christa Maloney are in the process of setting up a trust fund (and a building fund) at the TD Bank in town.

There is a gofundme account already set up (https://www.gofundme.com/mcfaul-family-donations) and at the time of writing it had reached $3,505 raised by 42 people in just five days, against an overall goal of $50,000. Because the gofundme organization takes eight per cent of the overall money raised, the teachers and Poirier want to see a trust fund that will allow 100 per cent of the donations go to help the family rebuild.

They had no insurance and were right in the midst of bringing their home up to code when the fire happened.

It can’t be confirmed yet but one of their trailers is thought to have been donated.

According to reports, two of the children were not at home when the fire broke

out. The two oldest siblings managed to get the others to safety.

However, according to Marmora and Lake Fire and Rescue Fire Chief Tony Brownson: “The 15-year-old got burned and was sent to hospital with second-degree burns. He was released the next morning.”

All their animals including goats and ducks, and the outbuildings, apparently survived.

Chief Brownson said the fire was “unintentional”.

Brownson noted the Marmora and Lake Fire Association is making a donation.

Carman who is also a neighbour of the

McFaul family and he saw the fire first.

“Flames were coming out the windows and doors by the time we got there. We had 21 of our firefighters there, plus HavelockBelmont-Methuen (Township Fire Department) was called in for tank support and they had three firefighters," said Chief Brownson.

They were there from 10 p.m. until 7 a.m. and returned the next day to make sure the hot spots were out.

For Garry Poirier, helping this family is “the right thing to do. Most of us have children ... this family has nobody to rely on, no recourse. It’s the Christian thing to do, the right thing to do.”

Marmora — Eight new jobs are being created in Marmora thanks to a partnership between Coloured Aggregate Inc. and the provincial government.

Coloured Aggregates Inc. is investing $517,832 from the Eastern Ontario Development Fund, supporting an additional investment of $4,660,487 from Coloured Aggregates in a project that will create eight new jobs, help retain six positions and is expected to be completed

by September 2021.

The company excavates, supplies and distributes many types of crushed aggregates and sand.

Coloured Aggregates Inc. is upgrading its processing plant and producing new specialty mineral products. These enhancements will allow the company to improve productivity and increase exports.

In a news release issued by MPP Peterborough Jeff Leal, minister responsible for small business, it was noted that the money from the fund is to help small business expand their production and create good, new jobs in their community.

Ontario is partnering with Coloured Aggregates Inc., Prysmian Group and SRB Technologies (Canada) Inc. to help these companies create 33 new jobs and retain 244 positions across eastern Ontario.

Leal is also the minister of agriculture, food and rural affairs.

“Our partnership with these innovative companies in eastern Ontario is creating good jobs and boosting the regional economy, key priorities for our government,” said Leal.

“Through the eastern Ontario Development Fund, we are enabling these innovative manufacturers to succeed and grow by helping them expand their operations, adopt new technologies and create jobs in their communities.”

Coloured Aggregates Inc., has a plant at 163 Marmora Mine Rd. Central Hastings News reached out to Jackie Stewart, vice president operations at Coloured Aggregates Inc. located in Aurora, for a comment but there has been no response to date.

Central Hastings Trent Hills News - Thursday, September 28, 2017 13

Retrospective show planned in Cobourg for plein air artist enthusiasts. Unfortunately, he died 12 days after receiving the terminal cancer diagnosis.

He leaves behind his wife of 49 years, Susan Albert; his two daughters, Shanna and Kristina Dyrow; and his grandson, Andrew.

The family lived in the Trenton and Prince Edward County area before moving out west, said Shanna.

Jerry was in the scrap paper business in the U.S. for several years, but moved to Baltimore — closer to family — in 2003, he told the Northumberland News in 2012, shortly after opening The Warehouse Gallery on County Road 45 in Baltimore. A longtime wood carver, he had an urge to paint. His wife bought him painting supplies in 1997 and he painted nearly every day after that. Paintings lined the walls of the gallery from floor to ceiling. He filled every available wall space with 150 to 200 paintings.

Jerry enjoyed many adventures painting outdoors or en plein air. When he was living in western Canada, he started painting spectacular landscapes of that part of the country. Once, he was outside painting near Canmore, Alta., when a grizzly bear came dangerously close. He didn’t panic, but instead thought there was little he could do if the bear decided to attack.

“I thought, if today is the day, today is the day. What are you going to do about it?” he told the News in 2012.

Having travelled throughout North America, some of Jerry’s favourite painting spots included Jackson Hole, Wyo.; Ouray, Colo.; Scottsdale, Ariz.; Carmel and Laguna, Calif.; and Wells, Maine, said Shanna.

But, he also loved to paint in areas across Northumberland, particularly at this time of year when the leaves are changing, she said.

• Asphalt & Metal Roofing “This was his favourite time of the year.”

Jerry studied under a variety of Cana• Siding - 5” Eavestroughs dian and American master artists, including Matt Smith, Ralph Oberg and Donna • Bulldozing Zhang. Many have sent the family wonder• Sand, Gravel, Excavation ful messages.

“Jerry was one of those rare folks who • Over 50 years Experience had a presence that demanded attention.

His infectious enthusiasm, happy disposition, focus and talent were on constant display. These qualities couldn’t help but influence his work in a positive way and give it a depth that was unique to him. He will be missed,” said Smith in a message to the family.

Shanna said friends and local sponsors are helping the family pull the show together RR4 ROSENEATH, ON K0K 2X0 quickly.

Feds need to lead with national infrastructure program: Ron Gerow

BY KAREN LONGWELL

Cobourg— Hundreds of paintings will be on display in a retrospective show of the late plein air artist J.F. (Jerry) Albert.

Jerry died on Aug. 29 at the age of 71, after a “very intense and fast battle with cancer,” said his daughter, Shanna Albert. The Albert family has planned an exhibit featuring more than 650 pieces pulled from many galleries, which will be curated by Kelsey Corradetti.

His passion was oil painting both wildlife and landscapes. The show is on Saturday, Sept. 16 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the former Kraft plant, 520 William St., in Cobourg. Everyone is welcome to attend.

The exhibition and sale of artwork was planned while Jerry was alive and was what he wanted, said Shanna.

“He loved this community — it meant so much to him,” said Shanna. “He would have never wanted a funeral.”

After he was diagnosed with cancer, Shanna said she asked her father if he would like to do a large retrospective art show. She hoped to keep him positive and passionate while going through treatment. Jerry had hoped to attend the exhibit and socialize with friends and art

Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Mayor Ron Gerow.

Havelock — The federal government needs to step to the plate with a national infrastructure program, Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Mayor Ron Gerow says.

“I am very disappointed in the federal government, that they haven’t stepped forward to take a lead role,” Gerow said in an interview.

Havelock-Belmont-Methuen (HBM) has been busy with infrastructure work and has received federal dollars to help with three of the projects, but the key partner has been the province helping out significantly with the new water tower, the King Street-McLean Avenue reconstruction, Donald Street, the Keating Bridge and planned upgrades to the connecting link (Ottawa Street).

“I believe we need a national infrastructure program. I’ve been saying this for years, but I’ve been saying it stronger and stronger in the last three years,” Gerow said. “We need all levels of government to be involved in a plan that’s long-term. Without this, we are going to push projects completely aside or they’ll be extended to the point where there will be a number of restrictions affecting the normal movement of traffic.”

And it’s not just in HBM, he warned.

“The first step would be to acknowledge the need for an infrastructure program and then move forward from there. Over the next year we’re going to have to speak louder and harder, because currently I don’t see that as a major point by Ottawa.”

“I think the province has done its part,” Gerow said. “I think they are trying to work with municipalities and trying to move the agenda forward, but I don’t see these needs being met in a fair and equitable way unless all levels of government are involved. I really think the big missing link at this point is federal. There needs to be a stronger collaborative voice to make the feds understand this.”

Gerow likes planned changes to the province’s Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF) program that will make it easier for counties to apply for funding.

A lot of OCIF funding has gone toward water-related projects, HBM included, which has shut counties out, he says.

The changes would give Peterborough County a better shot at funding for the crucial North River Bridge project which is vital to industrial and cottage traffic in HBM.

Glitter and bling at Trent Hills Grannies for Africa fundraiser

BY SUE DICKENS

Warkworth — Glitter and bling will be the thing at the Trent Hills Grannies for Africa (THGA) annual jewelry show and sale, a fundraiser for the Stephen Lewis Foundation taking place Saturday, Sept. 30 in Warkworth.

“Our fundraising efforts at the grassroots level support the Foundation’s work in subSaharan Africa where grandmothers are raising children of their children and orphans whose parents have died of HIV/AIDS,” said Lyn De La Cour of THGA. The allure of “previously loved” vintage and costume jewelry has always attracted a big crowd and organizers hope this year will be no different.

“It’s always exciting for the jewelry committee to unbox the latest treasures, to sort, inspect, price, admire, and to ensure that each piece is in perfect condition for those seeking that special piece. Expect fabulous finds is our motto,” added De La Cour.

Handbags, belts, and scarves are also on the tables at the event which is being held at the Gathering Place, St. Paul’s United Church, Main Street.

Doors are open at 10 a.m. and the event continues until 4 p.m.

Homemade soups, desserts and beverages are

available all day at the Grannies Café inside.

De La Cour explained, “This is what our local fundraising is all about … helping African grannies achieve their goals and the Trent Hills Grannies for Africa is very proud to have raised more than $60,000 for the cause during the past decade.”

About the Stephen Lewis Foundation: African grandmothers are central to the life of their communities. With almost no support, they have stepped forward to care for millions of children orphaned by AIDS, sometimes as many as 10 to 15 in one household.

They display astonishing reserves of love, courage and emotional resilience, even while grieving the loss of their own adult children.

Canadians have raised more than $24 million for African grandmothers through the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign.

Resources from the Campaign are invested directly at community level, with grassroots organizations that provide grandmothers and the children in their care with supports that include food, educational supplies, uniforms and school fees, medical care, HIV counselling and testing, adequate housing and bedding, counselling and support groups, home visits, and much more.

This was the scene at one of the previous Trent Hills Grannies for Africa jewellery sale and café fundraiser for the Stephen Lewis Foundation: Karen Brown of Warkworth, second from the right, and Linda Cardwell of Norwood joined in the search for bling.

Hastings plans tulip bulb giveaway

OMB hearing on controversial trailer park set for next July

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Trent Hills — Two weeks have been scheduled for an Ontario Municipal Board hearing to be held next year to deal with a zoning bylaw that council passed in 2015 to regulate development at Island Park RV Resort.

Trent Hills director of planning Jim Peters said dates were set for next July at a pre-hearing held Sept. 5. It was the latest in a series of such meetings in which all the parties involved in the matter attempt to agree on certain facts, so that there's less in dispute when evidence is finally presented to the independent tribunal for a ruling.

“There was general agreement that the issues have been fairly identified,” Peters said.

Two residents, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, and Lower Trent Conservation have appealed the zoning bylaw, giving various reasons for their opposition.

The conservation authority, for example, has reached before the hearing next summer. concerns “about how to deal with the floodplain

There were 400 applicants and Hastings was one of the 150 chosen from across Canada; the Hub of the Trent was the only community in Northumberland to be part of the program. Bulbs were also planted at the two Hastings “gateways” and Hastings Public School.

Hastings — The Hastings Canada 150 tulip blooms celebration was a notable success but there isn’t enough room to leave them in all of the garden beds at the Civic Centre.

Organizers with the Hastings Revitalization Association’s beautification committee are planning a bulb giveaway on Oct. 1 (10 a.m. to 11 a.m.).

The tulip bulb giveaway will be held in conjunction with the beautification committee’s garden bed cleanup and will be done on a first come first serve basis.

and protecting the trailers that are there,” Peters said. “We have now an updated environmental impact statement about where the provincially significant wetlands are and how to buffer those from the impacts of the trailer park.”

The parties "are still trying” to reach a consensus on what is the best sewage treatment system for the park and where should it be located.

The history of the park will be the subject of much scrutiny.

“It will eventually boil down to, did development take place where it shouldn't have,” Peters said.

Last week's pre-hearing “fleshed out” the timelines that are to be followed in the submission of expert statements so that all those responding will have sufficient opportunity to prepare their arguments.

Peters told council last week that Mayor Hector Macmillan had observed the municipality doesn't need any more parkland and the proponent's planning consultant subsequently indicated “the owners would be happy to keep that portion (between four and five acres).

They may actually develop it as a community centre.”

When asked at the end of the meeting for further details, Peters said the Markham company “will develop the lots and the houses first and see how that goes.”

The community centre “might simply be a building that has a room available for the residents to hold events,” such as birthday parties, he speculated.

Peters said he couldn't think of any other subdivision proposal that's come before council where this has been done.

Hospice Norwood aims for $500K Six bed hospice site selected

BY BILL FREEMAN

Norwood— The Hospice Norwood capital campaign still aims to raise $500,000.

“We’ve looked long and hard at these numbers, and we’re still in the range of $500,000 to make this thing fly,” said committee member Doug Pearcy. “That’s what we’ve got to shoot for.”

The goal is to establish a two-bed facility in a century home acquired by Hospice Norwood for $1 from the Stewart family.

The house was the longtime home of the late Jack and Marguerite Stewart; it will be repurposed, with the old summer kitchen removed and a two-bedroom facility built on the back.

The committee figures it will cost approximately $300,000 for the new “ultra-modern” addition.

“Potentially, you’re building a small hospital,” said Pearcy.

The house has been inspected by structural engineers, as well as surveyed (with the survey cost of $2,486 donated back to the committee); design plans, site plans and renovation plans are completed; and the rezoning application is now at the county level.

“Everything is kind of in place to get this thing moving,” said Pearcy.

“A lot of people have stepped up to do things,” he said, including labour donated for electrical work, the kitchen demolition, heating and air conditioning, signage and other material needs.

The house itself is “solid, safe and secure,” but will need an electrical and plumbing refit, a new upstairs bathroom, a kitchen renovation and some small esthetic upgrades.

Otherwise, Pearcy said it’s in very good shape and will have upstairs accommodations for family members of hospice patients.

“It’s a beautiful house; it has character. If we fix it up a bit, we’ve got exactly what we need.”

If they don’t spend $500,000 on the building, the balance would go toward future operating expenses and long-term maintenance, Pearcy said.

Fundraisers have already realized $16,830, with an additional $27,984 in donations so far.

“Now that we’ve got our charitable status and a few good projects to talk about, I think you’ll see the money (come) pretty quickly,” Pearcy added.

They plan to work with the Saint Elizabeth Foundation to provide nursing care and are confident the East Central Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) will come forward with operating dollars.

The committee will apply for additional capital grants.

“We know there is a need in this community (and beyond),” committee member Laurie Inglis said.

Inglis said the East Central LHIN has calculated a need for at least 28 hospice beds in the area. Currently, there are 10 funded in Peterborough, two in Warkworth and three in Haliburton.

Hospice Norwood is working closely with Hospice Peterborough and is now a member of Hospice Palliative Care Ontario, which will help with online training of volunteers.

“We’re underway, big-time,” said Pearcy.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Slower speeds or better roads in Stirling-Rawdon?

Dear Editor, Stirling-Rawdon Township Council has made a very dangerous decision in lowering the speed limit along Springbrook Road from 80 km to 60 km just so they don’t have to fix the road. They are under the impression that by lowering the speed you don’t have to maintain the roads to the same standard of a higher limit. This is a ridiculous way to think. If a road is bad it is bad at any speed.

Springbrook Road is the main road in our Township if you are traveling between Campbellford and Highway 62, and gets a lot of truck traffic for businesses trying to make deliveries.

Now that Council has lowered the speed to 60km on this paved road it will take that much longer to do their routes. So, where will they go? St. Marks Road to the north, which is still 80 km or south to Cooke Road.

Both are narrow but are paved. Neither have a centre line. Problem with this is both roads have many hills and St. Marks Road has 14 working farms. The danger to tractors and

other slow moving equipment is always there. On Cooke Road there are no fewer than 10 Amish homesteads – which have horse and buggy traffic.

Can you just imagine the carnage that could happen when a large truck that is avoiding Springbrook Road pops a hill doing 80 km and there is a buggy or a tractor or even a school bus on the road?

We pay a lot of taxes in this Township – third most per capita in the entire Province of Ontario. You would think that our roads could be maintained to the level that we all deserve.

Council has spent our money in the past to pave these roads so it would only make sense to keep them up to a standard that we are entitled to.

When they make such an irresponsible decision as this it is not good government. You must always think

how such a decision has an impact on not only neighbouring roads, but on the people and businesses that travel through our Township to get where they need to be.

We are a small community that is struggling to make ends meet because of some poor past governing. I do understand this, but let’s not make another bad decision that drives people away from our community.

There was a sign that was posted on Springbrook Road the read “Welcome to Stirling-Rawdon, we do 60km so we don’t have to fix roads”.

This could become a memory instead of a truth.

Northumberland — Hamilton Township will be the site of Community Care Northumberland’s six bed hospice care centre.

“Volunteers on the building committee have been working diligently for months to reach a decision on a site selection for the development of the Northumberland Hospice Care Centre,” says CCN’s executive director Trish Baird.

The hospice will be located on Ontario Street in Hamilton Township.

The volunteer work officially began following the Ministry’s spring announcement for annual operating funding for the hospice, she says.

The facility will be partially funded by the Ministry of Health and Longterm Care pending approval of its zoning application and public comment consent process this fall.

“We carefully considered every site for many aspects such as being easy to get to, accessibility, and lots of space with natural light for families to take comfort in,” says Stewart Richardson, chair of the centre’s building committee.

The committee — Richardson, Baird, Art Seymour, Leslie Benson, Ian Lancaster, Ross Quigley, Phillip Carter, Cheryl McFarlane and Sherry Gibson — toured eight hospice centres throughout central Ontario as part of their research and fact-finding before making an “educated decision” on the location for the “homelike setting.”

The group reviewed over 40 potential local sites before narrowing it to a shortlist of five and decided that the Hamilton Township property was best suited for the Hospice Care Centre.

Richardson says that criteria was assessed based on things like cost, municipal services, appropriate zoning, road links, communication services, parking and lot size.

Hospice Care Centre building committee chair Stewart Richardson.

Bill Freeman/Metroland acres from a larger parcel of land, along with an application for a zoning bylaw amendment has been submitted to the Hamilton Township planning department. Once the site has been approved the committee will continue its work toward designing and building the centre.

With the Hospice Care Centre, Baird says CCN will be able to offer a “new kind of care” to the communities it serves. Services will range from palliative and bereavement to caregiver support and community education.

CCN has provided volunteer visiting services since 2010 and introduced a palliative care community team in early 2017. The new hospice will allow the community to offer a comprehensive range of end-of-life services and build on the programming CCN already has in place.

Melrose Shamrocks win South Hastings Baseball League championship, end long drought

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Melrose – Victory is sweeter when the wait is longer; just ask members of the Melrose Shamrocks.

The team in green won the South Hastings Baseball League championship on Thursday, Sept. 21 by beating rival Uens 7-2 in a decisive Game 7 of the final series.

It’s the first time a Melrose team has won the championship of the 84-year-old league in a generation.

A league official said 1978 might have been the last time a Melrose team won the title (it’s hard to say for sure, because the league history isn’t well documented).

“We waited a long time to get it, we won’t forget this,” said Melrose coach Chris Murphy.

Murphy, one of numerous Murphys on the small community team, said he’s been involved with the same organization for 19 years now, although the team wasn’t always called the Shamrocks.

Many of the players, now young men, have played together since

NEWSPAPER RETRACTION FOR THE BEST BUY SEPTEMBER 22nd CORPORATE FLYER

they were kids.

“I remember playing with these guys as the Melrose Tigers in peewee,” he said.

Yet after fielding competitive – but not quite championships – teams for years in the SHBL, the Shamrocks finally put it all together in the late summer of 2017.

The team placed fifth out of eight teams in the regular season, but swept Shannonville 3-0 in a first-round series and then beat the regular-season champions, the Read Young Guns, in a tense series that went a full seven games.

That set up a matchup with the pin-striped perennial contenders, Uens. The Shamrocks found themselves down two games to one after a 23-8 beating in Game 3, but bounced back with wins of 15-6 and 6-4 in Games 4 and 5. Uens beat Melrose 8-2 in Game 5 on Tuesday, Sept. 19 to force Thursday’s Game 7.

And with the season on the line, pitcher Nick Walsh delivered a

masterful performance for Melrose.

Pitching on just three days rest – he also pitched in Sunday’s win – the right-hander threw a complete game. He gave up a run in the first, but held Uens’ powerful lineup scoreless for the next four innings.

In the sixth he worked out of a two-on-nobody-out jam and held Uens to just one run, averting what could have been a late rally to make things interesting.

Walsh contributed offensively, too, by scoring two runs. He was named the most valuable player of the playoffs after the game.

Walsh was one of many pitchers who helped the team to the title, Murphy said.

While the scoring lines weren’t always pretty, “the pitchers definitely stepped up and threw big games when we needed them.”

Melrose players and family members rushed to the mound to celebrate after the final out.

The game was played in front of several hundred fans at the Tyendi-

naga Township Recreational Complex, which is at an intersection of the municipality that locals simply refer to as Melrose.

That park now hosts all South Hastings Baseball League games.

It’s a great baseball community,

Murphy said. And because the community is so close-knit, it has a great baseball team.

“We’re a big family team,” he said. “We all hang out together all year.”

“It was a great success, despite a power outage. Many community members, family and friends came to support the event,” she said.

She said Dream Dogs and Stirling’s Foodland also hosted a BBQ on Sept. 23 to support Chloe.

An alumna of the Stirling Figure Skating Club, Chloe moved to Montreal in April to continue to train in singles (she currently competes in novice ladies) and in junior pairs with new partner Mathieu Ostiguy.

When she is in Stirling, she trains with local coach Lindsay Myers-Newberry. In Quebec, she and her partner are coached by Bruno Marcotte, Richard Gauthier, Sylvie Fullum and Cynthia Lemaire.

“Fundraising efforts support coaching fees, ice fees, dresses, program fees, travel expenses and choreography, to name a few,” explained McMurray.

“The annual costs of competing at this level are approximately $40,000.”

Just five months after becoming pairs partners, Skate Canada sent Chloe and Mathieu to compete in two ISU (International Skating Union) Junior Grand Prix events.

Their first international assignment was the Riga Cup in Latvia on Sept. 6-9, where they placed seventh in a field of 12. The Croatia Cup competition runs from Sept. 27-30.

“They are both excited for the opportunity to represent Canada on the international stage,” McMurray said.

Over the summer, Chloe had a top 10 finish in the Skate Canada National Summer Series. This earns her a bye to a challenge event where she will try to qualify for Nationals in Vancouver in January.

“Chloe’s family extends a sincere thank you to everyone who participated in these events, from the organizations who provided space and attended the events, the local businesses who provided prizes for draws, to friends and family who helped organize the events,” McMurray said.

CHSS Centurion Sports Camp draws 50 young athletes

BY SUE DICKENS

Madoc — Dozens of local students are ready for this fall's school sports teams thanks to a two-day training camp at Central Hastings Secondary School.

The Centurion Sports Camp is a tradition for prospective athletes at Central Hastings Secondary School (CHSS) which had a new twist this year.

Bill Thompson, guidance counsellor at CHSS, told the Central Hastings News that the school runs the camp for its own athletes to prepare for the school seasons.

“Rather than have separate sport-specific camps

These are just some of the 50 kids who participated in the Centurion Sports Camp.

Campbellford Lawn Bowling Club hosts final tournament of the season

BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford — Lawn bowling season is wrapping up here after the last competitive tournament of the year hosted by the Campbellford Lawn Bowling Club.

The Bobbin's and Bows/McKillop and Associates of Stirling mixed or ladies pairs tournament was held Sat., Sept. 16.

Teams from Kingston, Pickering, Bobcaygeon, Belleville, Trenton, Peterborough and the host Campbellford club battled for the honour of the 2017 champion.

Tournament winner from Peterborough was the team of Bob Reynolds and his partner Sheila Lane. They won all three games and amassed a score of 48 for and 29 against.

In second place, from the host Campbellford

Club was the team of Rick Barnard and Syd Godin, scoring 42 for and 21 against.

Two game-high winner from the Peterborough Club was the team of Jim Caldwell and Karen Kavanaugh.

This team bowled in their third game against the tournament winning Reynolds team, just narrowly being defeated in a very even match.

Their score was 47+5 for and 37 against.

Second two-game winner with a score of 44+4 for and 30 against, from Campbellford was Don Godin and Elva Wilson from the Trenton Club. Finally the one-game high winner was the team of Charlie and Mary Rowbotham from Belleville. They had a score of 36+2 for and 36 against.

The 2017 season ends on Sept. 29 with the club’s fall annual general meeting and banquet.

Testing is Free!

Adults under 50 should have a hearing test every 5 years, over 50 every 2 years.

(football, rugby, basketball, volleyball) as we’ve done in the past, we combined these into an all-around camp to get athletes back into playing shape and prepare them for the school year,” he explained.

“We thought the sports camp would be a great opportunity to meet the coaches, meet some of the new Centurions coming in, and to allow those students who are a little unsure of where they fit to just come out and see what a positive experience Centurion athletics is and can be,” Thompson added.

The camp was free to all Centurions in Grades 9 to 12 who planned on participating in a school sport this year, and it ran for two days just before school started.

Coaches were there to run through some games and skill development.

“We had 50 kids over the two-day camp for girls and boys,” said Thompson.

They participated in fitness testing and cross-fit training.

“On day one, the kids played different games and then sampled different sports including rugby, volleyball, and basketball. On day two, the kids specialized in football, volleyball, and basketball training,” he explained.

Fitness records were recorded and are to be retested during practices throughout the year.

Now that the school year is underway, many of the students have already found their game of choice.

Coach Lesley Morgan, who was Coach of the Year in 2016, was busy this week inspiring her players for their basketball game played against Quinte Secondary School Saints (QSS) on Tuesday.

The school’s rugby team played QSS Saints this week and next week they take on Trenton High School.

Simulated air disaster gives SAR teams real training

BY MAKALA CHAPMAN

Mountain View - Canada’s top search and rescue (SAR) personnel are putting their skills to the test at this year’s National Search and Rescue Exercise (SAREX).

Despite record-breaking heat, more than a dozen technicians and responders from across the country could be seen in full inform as they swarmed the scene of a simulated major air disaster (MAJAID) at Canadian Forces Detachment (CFD) Mountain View in Prince Edward County on Sept. 25.

Making for a ghastly sight, actors covered in fake lacerations and other wounds were also seen strewn amongst the simulated wreckage to help add to the authenticity of the exercise.

Donning their signature orange jumpsuits, the military first responders executed everything from a parachute jump out of an aircraft, medical assistance and rescue attempts during the training display.

While some could say it looked like a scene straight out of a movie, the mock disaster site was just a mere glimpse into some of the reallife situations Canada’s search and rescue technicians respond to.

Overseeing his fellow comrades in action was 424 Transport and Rescue Squadron’s Sergeant Jean-Paul Benoit.

Benoit, who is also the deputy SAR technician leader, said the main goal of the MAJAID exercise was to see if there were any areas of the rescue plan that could be improved.

“We’ve got some great training to prepare us for (disastrous) situations,” he said, adding that each rescue mission often differs from the previous. “It’s good to get experience with difficult terrains, difficult extractions and different kinds of injuries and illnesses.”

Benoit went on to explain that in the case of an air disaster, an aircraft would be sent to survey the scene before a small group of SAR technicians would be sent in to investigate further.

After their analysis, a larger group would be brought in to help with things like triage, medi-

cal assessment and rescue efforts.

During that process, other search and rescue partners are tasked with delivering supplies, setting up medical workstations, and preparing for evacuation.

It was also noted that Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Trenton’s SAR technicians are responsible for covering from the British Columbia and

Alberta border, all the way to the Arctic and into part of the province of Quebec.

“It’s a pretty big area to cover,” he said, noting that the teams are often expected to work in different climates and environments. “In six months we could be working in minus 40, but we have a job to do and we will do it.”

Sporting a head laceration, thanks to the

power of costume makeup, was Cpl. Greg Denyes.

When the call came for volunteers to help participate in the MAJAID exercise, he said he had been quick to volunteer and was happy to help the search and rescue technicians with training.

“It’s important to be able to see an incident, how to triage, and make decisions on the fly,” he said. “It’s also much easier for the team if they can actually see examples instead of working with dummies that can’t respond.”

As for the authenticity of the injuries, Denyes said he had been impressed and even joked that his new makeover was just in time for Halloween.

Also in attendance and having helped set up the scene of the mock crash site was MCpl. John Fleming of 424 Transport and Rescue squadron.

He noted that having real aircraft for the SAR members to work with was an extra bonus since

in previous years they had just used an old bus.

“It took a bit of work but I wanted to make it as real as possible,” he said, adding that the interior of the aircrafts had wires and panels coming out from the ceilings and walls, “but it’s nice to see everything come together.”

As for the aircraft after SAREX, he said it would remain at Mountain View and would be used for future training exercises.

The major air disaster was just one of many exercises taking place during SAREX from Sept. 23-29, with other events taking place in Hamilton, Ont. The main objective of SAREX is to highlight the capabilities of the SAR community and the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) through controlled exercises.

David Piccini to run for the Conservatives in Northumberland - Peterborough South in 2018 Voters will have a choice between incumbent Lou Rinaldi or challenger David Piccini when they cast their ballots in the new riding of Northumberland - Peterborough South in June 2018.

Piccini was chosen as the Progressive Conservative candidate on Friday (Sept. 22).

“I congratulate David on his nomination as the Ontario PC candidate for Northumberland-Peterborough South," says party leader Patrick Brown.

“David understands the importance of public service, and has gained unique experience as an analyst at Agriculture Canada as well as working for the Minister of International Trade.

"He currently works as an advisor to the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, where he has developed a deep understanding of the challenges the Liberal government’s reckless cuts to health care have had on Ontario families and seniors.

“Having grown up in Port Hope, David has strong roots in the community and I know he will be a strong representative for the residents of Northumberland-Peterborough South."

The provincial riding was realigned to match the new boundaries set for the 2015 federal election, including Peterborough County townships of Otonabee-South Monaghan and Asphodel-Norwood with Northumberland.

“After 14 years in power, life is harder with the Liberals," Brown adds. "Ontario families

War has never ended in Korea Re: Editorial, Sept. 21: ‘Catastrophe in the making…’

Mr. Campbell is reasonably fair with the first half of the editorial but then drops the ball laying the blame on Kim Jong Un for the belligerence. Remember that the USA bombed North Korea to the point that they ran out of targets, Napalm much of it made in Canada burnt villages “to save them”. My brother was REME (mechanic) for a tank regiment there. I have several books on that war “Now Thrive the Armorers“ being well worth reading. The war never ended just a ceasefire, yet each year the South and the USA mount war games on the border with “decapitation exercises” simulating taking out the leader.

The significance of nukes in all this, is the record of US direct and indirect regime

change. From the decades in South America read General Smedly Butlers book on being a hit man for the banks and United Fruit Company, to Saddam, Qaddafi Assad the assisted overthrow of the democratically elected government of Ukraine and others with the sole road block appearing to be nuclear weapons.

To place the blame for the fist waving name calling dangerous game playing out now on China not reigning in Kim is a bit thick. The empire expects its victims to roll over or be crushed, nukes change the game, the chance to get American missiles on the border of China is getting bogged down.

Childhood Cancer Clinical Trials at CCTG Established in 1980, the world-renowned Canadian Cancer Trials Group (CCTG) is the only group in Canada that carries out all types of clinical trials for all types of cancer.

Thanks to CCS donors, CCS is able to provide core funding to CCTG to make running about 100 trials at any given time possible.

Along with their comprehensive portfolio of adult clinical trials, CCTG is creating more opportunities for Canadian children, adolescents and young adults to access emerging treatments in clinical studies in Canada. They are working with Canada’s hospitals to allow children to receive early access to experimental therapeutics, and have recently launched a new initiative focused on adolescents and young adults (AYAs), to bridge the challenging gap between care in the pediatric and adult settings.

CCTG is collaborating on two clinical trials in children and AYAs that are currently recruiting patients.

In one trial, children and AYAs newly diagnosed

with a form of sarcoma (a cancer of the soft connective and supportive tissues in the body) will be treated with a drug called pazopanib in combination with radiation or chemotherapy and radiation together before surgery. Pazopanib is approved for use in adults, but not yet for younger patients. This study will determine whether the combination treatment is beneficial for children and AYAs, which could eventually change clinical practice.

Inthesecondtrial,childrenwithneuroblastoma or rhabdomyosarcoma tumours that do not respond to available treatments or have come back after treatment will be treated with a new combination treatment including pazopanib and a chemotherapeutic called topotecan.

This early-phase clinical trial, led by Sick Kids Hospital, will determine the best dose to use in further trials, how the drug is processed in the body, and how it interacts with other drugs.

Belleville author has a fondness for fish

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – There’s something fishy about Hilary MacLeod’s career.

Literally speaking, that is.

The Belleville-based author is about to release her sixth book in her Shores murder mystery series. The new title is Cod Only Knows.

The theme is in keeping with her five previous books, set in a small fishing village in Prince Edward Island, inspired by Sea View, PEI, MacLeod’s summer home since 1990.

“The Shores series is as much about people and place as about plot. Each story stands alone, but the same characters inhabit book after book,” says MacLeod.

The series features Gus Mack, the octogenarian quilter, who sees everything that goes on in the village from her big picture window. There’s also Hy McAllister, the “come-from-away” would-be sleuth who’s clumsy with corpses. “She trips on them, throws up on them and stumbles across them constantly,” MacLeod says.

And Jane Jamieson is the by-the-book cop, who’s transforming into a maverick under the influence of the sea air, rural beauty and eccentricity of The Shores.

In Cod Only Knows, 90-year-old Abel Mack has gone fishin’ – and gone missing. He’s after a giant cod, the one that got away 30 years before, a 300-pound fish that trails murder and mayhem in its wake.

Mountie Jane Jamieson suspects Abel may be dead – by foul play or exposure. His wife Gus insists he’s alive and sure to return. But readers may ask themselves, does Abel even exist outside Gus’s memory or imagination?

Cod Only Knows will be launched Wednesday, Oct. 4 at 5 p.m. at the Parrott Centre at Loyalist College. Everyone’s welcome to come celebrate, MacLeod said.

Loyalist is a fitting place for MacLeod to launch the book, because she was an instructor at in the college’s broadcast journalism course for several years. She taught reporting and writing/media performance from 1990 to 2012.

Prior to teaching, she had a lengthy career in radio in Montreal and in Atlantic Canada.

While MacLeod still lives in Belleville during the winter, she spends her summers in PEI working on books.

Her first book in the series, Revenge of the Lobster Lover, won a CBC Bookie award, following its release in 2010. She’s since published Mind Over Mussels 2011, All is Clam 2012, Something Fishy 2013 and Bodies and Sole 2014.

All of these books have been published by Acorn Press, a Charlottetown, PEI, publishing house that has an interest in promoting the island.

MacLeod, now 68, said she aspired to be author from the time she was five years old. As her teaching career wound down, she finally built up the nerve to attempt a book.

“I thought; okay I’m not going to regret never trying to write a novel,” she said.

MacLeod was a fan of the Hamish Macbeth mystery series of novels, which are set in her birth country of Scotland.

Upon reading that series, she thought she could attempt a similar series based out of PEI, given her love and vast knowledge of the island.

“I love the island, I love the character there and the language that they speak,” she said.

“The characters I’ve created are not anyone in particular – but they’re quite representative of the Maritimes.”

MacLeod’s books are meant to be taken as satire, but they also remind readers of the tough nature of life on the water.

“Even though the books are funny … there is a dark side of life – the tragic things people do with it,” she said.

MacLeod’s books can be found in most major bookstores. She’s also recorded them for 91X, the Loyalist College-based radio station. Segments of the stories air on Sunday nights, at 7 p.m.

MacLeod said that students often ask her the secret to writing a book.

She said writers have to give themselves a schedule and a goal to aspire to – whether it’s to set aside time for writing every day, or every weekend.

Then they have to pump out the material and not be hard on themselves; the original draft can always be edited, she said.

“It’s 99 per cent sweat, one per cent inspiration.”

TRAVEL

Exploring Eastern Europe via a luxury river cruise

BY JOHN M. SMITH

Several years ago, I biked along the Danube River all the way from Passau, Germany to Vienna, Austria, and I felt that it was a fantastic experience. I’d actually arrived in Vienna ahead of schedule, so I’d continued pedaling into a section of Hungary before returning to Vienna. Therefore, I was delighted when I received an opportunity, this summer, to complete my journey along the Danube, going this time from Budapest, Hungary to Bucharest, Romania – and instead of cycling the entire way, I’d be luxuriating on the AmaCerto, an AmaWaterways cruise ship!

Last year, my wife and I experienced our very first luxury river cruise, on France’s Seine River, travelling between Paris and Normandy with AmaWaterways, and the experience was so wonderful that we were ecstatic when this new opportunity came along. Our first cruise had provided me with the opportunity to research a “Remembrance Day� travel piece about the beaches at Normandy, which was published here last November, and this new excursion would fulfill my “bucket list� item of visiting Romania’s Transylvania, for I’ve wanted to write a Halloween piece about Bran Castle and Dracula for quite some time (and will this October).

This latest river cruise took us into five countries in Eastern Europe (Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Romania). The “Gems of Southeast Europe� turned out to be yet another fantastic adventure trek, with many enticing ports of call and a plethora of optional shore excursions. In fact, there were so many trips to choose from that my wife would sometimes go on one tour while I’d do another. For example, I hiked to the Belogradchik Fortress in Bulgaria while my wife learned how to make some Bulgarian Banitsa (a pastry prepared by layering whisked eggs, dough, and cheese). On another day, I biked along the Danube on a paved path while my wife took a tour of the beautiful city of Pecs, Hungary.

One of the things that I particularly like about this cruise line is that they have bicycles on board, and several cycling tours as options, so I was able to do yet another section of the Danube Bike Path via two wheels. This time I cycled from Mohacs, Hungary to the tiny village of Kolked, where I was able to visit a wonderful stork museum. I learned that this area is home to both white and black storks, and they spend their ‘off season’ in Africa. I also found out that this area has white tailed eagles – and herds of Grey Cattle (a national symbol, dating back to medieval times).

I think that the bicycles on board are an attempt by AmaWaterways to attract a younger, more active traveller, and this strategy may, indeed, be working, for there were some younger people on this cruise, including an Edmonton couple who were on their honeymoon.

Yet another reason for selecting AmaWaterways for a cruise is that it’s the only river cruise line inducted into La Chaine des Rotisseurs, a prestigious culinary organization, so this meant that we would be having great food during the voyage. Indeed, we did! Not only were there delectable daily specials offered, but there were also wine pairings available at lunch and dinner – and these drinks were included at no additional cost (as Maui, Hawaii

were beer and soft drinks). We also had the great honour of being invited to dine with the captain one evening. In addition, there was also an opportunity, available to all passengers, to sign up for the exclusive “Chef’s Table� option for an evening meal, served in a separate dining room, where we experienced a great variety of tastings, with explanations by the chef himself.

Our particular cruise began in Budapest, Hungary, and our initial ‘treat’ was an “Illumination Tour� that first evening (this was so awesome that I plan to write a separate piece on this experience next week). We then cruised on the Danube through Hungary, docking at Mohacs, before continuing our voyage into Croatia. In Croatia, we learned a lot about the Croatian War of Independence (1991-1995) and visited its Ovcara Memorial (dedicated to those who lost their lives during this struggle). We then continued our journey into Serbia, where we visited both the cities of Nova Sad and Belgrade (Serbia’s capital). Next we traversed the most scenic section of the route, through the Iron Gates (a series of gorges that separate Serbia and Romania). We crossed into Bulgaria and docked, finally, at Giugiu, Romania (which is located just across the river from Rousse, Bulgaria). Our cruise ended at

Giurgiu, but we were then taken by bus to Bucharest for our extended land tour, and we spent two nights at the Athenee Palace Hilton. While here, we toured Bucharest and took a day trip to Transylvania – and I was then able to research my future piece on the Bran Castle and Dracula.

It was an awesome cruise!

Quinte Symphony to seek additional funding

BY JACK EVANS

Quinte Symphony had a good year for its 201617 season with increased revenue and larger audiences, the annual meeting was told last Sunday. But with costs increasing, there will be a need to work for more funding, Kevin Baskur, new treasurer, told the gathering in Belleville.

In her annual report, Debbie Shaw, who also plays flute with the orchestra, also painted a picture of a successful year, with the purchase of a complete set of high quality timpani, thanks to the Parrott Foundation, another hugely successful Tribute to the Brave concert at the air museum and a near capacity spring concert in The Regent Theatre, Picton, with guest artists, The Sultans of String.

Various members of the orchestra also were involved in community outreach with performances at community events and a fund raising night at Chapters Books, plus a modestly successful children’s concert in May. That project may be expanded into a three-day festival with other artistic partners this season, she suggested.

She stressed that there remains a need for more volunteers and also additional board members, which have now declined to six from about a dozen.

She said a grant application to the Ontario government failed and that, too, is impacting the orchestra’s finances for the new season.

Conductor Dan Tremblay commented on how

David Shewchuk of Oshawa was confirmed as the symphony’s new concert master for the 2017-19 season.

Jack Evans/Metroland

pleased he is with the orchestra’s developing capabilities and improved sound, and especially with the increase in attendance at concerts.

Members of the present board were returned by acclamation.

Hastings — In what’s being called a first for the annual Culture Days celebration, Hastings will host an “artist swap” on Sept. 30 at the Hastings Civic Centre showcasing talent from Fergus and the Hub of the Trent.

“Other communities are having Culture Days but Fergus and Hastings are the first to have an artist’s swap,” says Ida Brown, the founder of Hastings Little Town Theatre and director and producer of children’s theatre.

Her daughter Bethany of the Hastings House Restaurant is teaming up with Eric Goudie of the Fergus Grand Theatre to present the showcase.

Belleville – The Hollywood North Film Festival has announced this year’s lineup.

The festival will open on Friday, November 10 at the Empire Theatre in Belleville with Canadian film The Meaning of Life.

Directed by Cat Hostick, the film stars Canadian recording artist Tyler Shaw. The film follows a struggling musician who gets a temporary job as a therapeutic clown, working to help a nine-year old leukemia patient get past her illness through music. Shaw is expected to attend the opening gala and will be performing live and taking part in the post-Q&A after the film.

On Saturday, Nov. 11, films will play all day the Centre Theatre to celebrate 100 years of film in Quinte. These films are the best of the best and include local, Canadian, international and animated short films.

Saturday evening will close with a screening of “Brigsby Bear” written and starring Saturday Night Live’s Kyle Mooney, Mark Hamill (Star Wars) and Greg Kinnear (Little Miss Sunshine).

Brigsby Bear Adventures is a children’s TV show produced for an audience of one: James. When the show abruptly ends, James’s life changes forever, and he sets out to finish the story himself.

Following the film, the HNFF will hold its first awards ceremony at the Trent Port Marina to celebrate this year’s achievements in film and to announce the award winners selected by the Festival Jury.

To close the festival on Sunday, Nov 12, films will play in the afternoon at the Regent Theatre in Picton. A selection of short films will play with the closing film (to be announced at a later date).

The festival received over 300 film submissions, the most in its three-year history.

The third year is gearing up to be better than ever, organizers says, with celebrities and filmmakers confirmed to attend.

A list of all films can be found online at HNFF.ca. Information on festival and day passes can also be found on the website.

Take it Outside

What’s your excuse for gardening rut?

By Carson Arthur As a landscaper designer, I’ve seen it all; from backyard wastelands to front yard jungles that got away. When did the outdoors become so intimidating? Most homeowners are afraid to make changes outside for a variety of reasons,

unfortunately the results are always the same…year after year.

Here are my 5 favourite excuses that people use when stuck in a gardening ‘rut’.

1.

“If I replace my lawn with gardens, I will have to spend more time in the backyard working”.

FALSE! The truth is, grass requires more maintenance then any other outdoor feature and while the perfect lawn is definitely something to enjoy, a well-planned garden will use less water and require less weekly attention then the average patch of grass. The key is to have a garden that works in your location.

Doing a little research will provide years of reward. Bring in a reputable company to help you plan the project. Many of the good design firms have an hourly consultation rate, which is perfect for giving you a customized approach for tackling your yard. Also consider getting your camera or smart phone and taking some pictures of what grows well in your neighbour’s yard. Take those to your favourite garden centre for a little insider information because if your neighbour can grow

it, chances are that it will do well in your yard too!

2.

“I have a large tree and nothing grows under it”.

This really isn’t a challenge but an opportunity. Under a tree is the first place people want to sit in the hot summer months. Make this garden inviting using the following simple tips. Work with the roots of the tree instead of trying to compete with them. Plan the garden in the area between the roots and think of them as your framework for designing the space. Using shade-loving plants sometimes isn’t enough, as they have to compete with the tree for water and nourishment. Plant your shrubs and perennials inside a larger pot that is then planted in the ground so that you don’t even know its there. This allows you perennials a chance to get established. Also plan a space for a bench or some garden art. Neither of these require any work on your part and both are a great source of visual interest.

3.

“It’s going to be expensive to make big changes”.

It’s true, landscaping is never cheap if done properly but there are

a few things to consider. A well-designed outdoor space holds its value when it comes to resale. Also, no one ever said that you had to do it all at once. Have a plan and work towards the yard of your dreams as the funds become available. According to Realtor.com, a welllandscaped yard can increase your homes value by 28%. This makes it a little easier to invest when you know that you will get a return 4.

“I don’t have time to look after my outdoor space”.

Having the right tool for the job makes it so much easier. With new technology, gardening has never been so simple. Light weight, battery operated, environmentally conscious garden tools make all the difference. Gardening is supposed to

be a pleasure, not a chore.

5.

“My children need a place to play”.

Perfect…kids love to garden.

Plan a space with your children that they can participate in. Let them help pick plants and design their own section of the yard. Remember, this is a garden for them to play in and some things aren’t going to make it but that’s okay. A garden is a great spot to spend the afternoon for the whole family.

The truth is, if you want to make a change in the way you use your outdoors, then you should go for it.

What’s really stopping you? Start the planning now for a spring renovation because this is the time of year that the experts are most available!

Groundbreaking for new emergency services base

Truck augers in

BY BILL FREEMAN

Academy Towing had its work cut out for it hauling this pickup truck out of the swampy patch of marsh grasses on Moira Street West last Thursday. Police issued no statement or reported no charges against the driver, but it appeared the motorist who planted the truck firmly into the greenery over-steered and lost the edge of the road into the deep ditch. There were no reported injuries.

Roseneath — The ground has been turned on a new $3.8 million emergency services base on County Road 45 in Alnwick-Haldimand. Officials from Northumberland County and the Township of Alnwick-Haldimand were on hand to launch construction of the shared paramedic and fire facility.

“It is exciting when we celebrate a ground breaking in Alnwick-Haldimand and deliver something of value to the Chris Malette/Metroland community,” said Alnwick-Haldimand Mayor and county coun. John Logel.

“With existing bases for both services in Roseneath coming to the point where they no longer meet operational needs, FOR SALE BY OWNER this shared facility really makes sense and we are very pleased STARTER HOME, 2-b edroom ranch. Great location to be partnering with the county to make this possible,” said . Just reduced. Call Wendy 555-3210.

Logel.

Construction is estimated at $3.8 million with the township and county contributing based on the square footage to

be occupied by each service.

Sharing a single facility will create new opportunities for communication and collaboration between first responders including joint training initiatives and enhancing service delivery, the county says. With operations managed by a single organization, the base will “create efficiencies” and reduce costs related to cleaning, snow removal, landscaping and other requirements.

“Shared services continues to be an important focus for county council, says Northumberland Warden Mark Walas.

“The base will be another expression of this commitment.

“It is also a wonderful opportunity to enhance partnerships between our first responders who often work so closely together when supporting our residents facing emergency situations,” Walas added.

“Construction of the Roseneath Emergency Services Base is expected to be completed in the fall of 2018.

DEATH NOTICE

MASON, Margaret Virginia Oh, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all travelling down that long winding road that ultimately leads us to the end.

For MARGARET VIRGINIA MASON that road sadly ended September 20, 2017 in Northumberland Hills Hospital, Cobourg, Ontario. This followed an extended life of 101 years, 4 months.

Mom was born May 2, 1916 in Baltimore, Maryland, to Harold and Pearl (Durham) Baker. Harold died of pneumonia shortly after her birth. She and her mother then moved back to Toronto.

Life had many challenges, including the Depression.

On June 2, 1939 Marg and Howard (Bud) Frederick Mason were wed and went on to a further 46 years together. Bud passed away in 1985 following a lifelong career with the Bank of Commerce, ending as Manager of the Bloor and Yonge Branch, in Toronto. Together they raised a family of 5: Richard (Jill), Paul (Carol), Lynn (Ted Passmore), Don (Barb) and John (Kathi).

A tireless, dedicated and principled mother, she devoted herself to family first and seldom sought the spotlight. As an extended family, we wish to recognize and praise Marg for her dedication, courage and devotion, throughout her lifetime.

She lovingly leaves 12 Grandchildren (Alison, Andrew, Bonnie Christopher, Dylan, Jason (deceased), Julie, Kate, Kyle, Robert, Scott, Susan), along with 9 Great Grandchildren (Andie, Ashley, Cameron, Graydon, Hannah, Henry, Mason, Owen and Victoria).

Quinte West — A local woman was the target of a fraudulent gift card scheme in Quinte West, involving a man coming to her door and using her telephone.

On Thursday, Sept. 21, officers from the Quinte West OPP investigated the suspicious activities surrounding a gift card the homeowner had won.

On Wednesday, the homeowner reported that at about 10 a.m. she received a telephone call from an unknown female advising her she had won a $500 gift card.

The homeowner was told a representative would go to her residence with the gift card.

At about 5 p.m. on Wednesday, an unknown man attended the address and presented the homeowner with the gift card. The man also asked if he could use the telephone and was granted permission.

While he was on the phone, the homeowner overheard the man’s conversation about the residence having a lock box containing a key.

The man then left the residence and after investigating the gift card, police determined it was counterfeit with no value.

The man is described as Caucasian, cleancut, mid-20s with short dark hair. He was wearing a white T-shirt and had no audible accent.

He was driving a small sedan, black, which was free of any rust and appeared clean.

Anyone with information about the occurrence is asked to contact the Quinte West OPP at 613-392-3561 or, should you wish to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, where you may be eligible to receive a cash reward of up to $2,000.
