Trent-Severn Waterway to receive big funding boost

By Erin Stewart Trenton – The Bay of Quinte will receive a big boost of around $62.5 million in federal funding for infrastructure repairs to the Trent-Severn Waterway in Trenton, Glen Miller, Frankford, Glen Ross and Carrying Place.

Maryam Monsef, Minister of Democratic Institutions and MP for Peterborough–Kawartha, announced that the federal government will invest a total of $270 million to restore the Trent-Severn Waterway National Historic Site at the Peterborough Lift Locks on Sunday June 26.

Some projects announced in 2015 will be receiving additional funding including the Trenton Dam 1 replacement and Lock 1 rehabilitation project.

Dam 1 will be replaced and the water control systems will be mechanized and Lock 1 will have work done on the canal walls.

The Trenton Dam 1 and Lock 1 project will receive an additional estimated funding total of $10.9 million, bringing the estimated total to $36.2 million.

Concrete repairs will be done on many structures throughout the Trent-Severn including the breakwater at Trenton Lock 1. This project for numerous concrete repairs On a day when Peterborough set a new record for the most paddle crafts in Peterborough’s Lock 21 at once, the Liberal government chose to announce a massive funding boost for will receive an additional the Trent Severn Waterway. MP Neil Ellis is shown here, centre, at the announcement with members of the local kayaking and canoe organizations who made the event happen estimated $8.4 million in funding bringing the total in the Peterbrough lock. Submitted photo

to $23 million.

The Glen Ross swing bridge rehabilitation project will receive additional funding of around $5.5 million, bringing the new total to an estimated $7.6 million.

The swing bridge’s mechanical and electrical drive systems will be replaced while it is taken off site for structural steel repairs, timber deck replacement and repainting. While the bridge will remain a single lane, it will be upgraded from a 15-tonne load limit rating to a Level 1 highway load rating A number of new projects have also been added to the list in the Bay of Quinte.

Glen Miller Dam 3 and Lock 3 will receive an estimated $13 million for comprehensive rehabilitation.

Frankford Dam 6 at Lock 6 will have an estimated $5 million invested in rehabilitating the dam.

The Glen Ross Dam 7 will undergo upgrades to the electrical system to improve the operation and reliability of the mechanical gates at an estimated cost of $700,000.

The Carrying Place fixed bridge will also receive some repairs in the newly announced project to repair various bridges along the Trent-Severn at an estimated cost of $2.8 million.

Frustrations dominate future of Centre Hastings

By Diane Sherman Centre Hastings - Two “Town Hall” meetings facilitated by Don DeGenova, in his professional capacity as a facilitator in conflict resolution, drew a full house at Moira hall June 20 but only 24 people in Madoc June 23, with eight of those from the lower sector and two Madoc Township council members.

Some thought the Moira meeting was about closing the Moira hall. DeGenova explained it was not, but only to get public input for a five-year plan for Centre Hastings on ways to reduce costs, generate revenue or make cutbacks.

Residents questioned why there were two meetings and not just one, “held in the middle at Ivanhoe”, saying two gatherings furthered the separation felt since amalgamation in 1998.

Until that union, residents said, Huntingdon was debt free. Some said they would like to separate.

Many living south of Ivanhoe do not

use facilities in Madoc, and feel they pay for services they do not use.

At both meetings, the fact that Centre Hastings pays 100 per cent of employee benefits was a hot topic, with calls to switch to shared benefit packages.

Suggestions came forward to eliminate the public works superintendent position, make the recreation coordinator position part time, and open the arena for winter use only, with occasional exceptions like the fair.

Arguments in support of and opposition to subsidies to gravel private roads around Moira Lake arose at both meetings, as did the quality of and attention to road maintenance in general, especially in the south.

Concerns over fire response times to the south prompted a call for shared services with departments closer.

Employee wages were under attack.

Former mayor Owen Ketcheson handed out documentation comparing 2013 wages to the current 2016 scale, show-

ing some over $100,000.

CAO/Treasurer Christine Martin objected to those numbers, saying, “We are not getting those wages, we are not at that high end of the scale.” She said she will be making this clear in a public report.

At the Moira meeting, it was pointed out the municipality did not advertise the meetings.

The only information the public received was an article in Metroland Media published June 16.

Martin said it was a matter of miscommunication, believing her assistant had submitted it.

At the end of each forum residents, were asked to place a sticky dot on their three priority concerns as listed by DeGenova during the meeting.

He will summarize all suggestions and submit his report to council.

Excerpts of the meetings can be seen on YouTube. Search “community dialogue Moira Hall.”

Work continues on $10 million project to upgrade locks at Healey Falls

By John Campbell Healey Falls – The locks at Healey Falls have undergone major repairs, but more work remains to be done before the $10 million project is completed next year.

The approach wall at lower Lock 16 and the east chamber wall at Lock 17 were both demolished and rebuilt with reinforced concrete to rehabilitate the structures and to improve drainage at the site.

Work has now begun to restore the landscaping on the east side of Lock 17 to pre-construction condition, while the grounds on the west side will be covered with mulch for the current navigation season in preparation for further concrete repairs this fall.

Parks Canada is spending $3 billion over five years in support of infrastructure work to heritage,

visitor, waterway, and highway assets located within national historic sites, national parks and national marine conservations areas across Canada.

The preservation, rehabilitation and restoration of national historic sites will also “protect our heritage and strengthen their appeal as destinations to celebrate our nation‘s achievements,” she said in an email.

The commitment to carry out massive improvements across the country came about as a result of a national review that Parks Canada did in 2012 to identify the condition of all built assets.

The locks were built in 1910, 66 years after a timber dam had been constructed at Healey Falls. They were erected as part of the development of the lower Trent River to accommodate the expansion of power generation along the waterway.

OPINION

Brexit – and maybe then Frexit, Nexit, Swexit, Plexit..?

“The EU is dying. I hope we’ve knocked the first brick out of the wall,” exulted Nigel Farage, leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party.

He proposed that June 23, when the British narrowly (51.8 perGwynne Dyer voted cent of the votes) to leave the European Union, should be a new national holiday called Independence Day. But author J.K. Rowling, who wanted Scotland to remain in the United Kingdom and the UK to remain in the EU, tweeted sadly: “Scotland will seek independence now. Cameron’s legacy will be breaking up two unions. Neither needed to happen.”

Soon-to-be-former Prime Minister David Cameron’s decision to hold a referendum on Britain’s EU membership has assured the dismantling of the United Kingdom.

58 percent of the English voted “Leave”, while 62 percent of Scots voted “Remain”.

It is “democratically unacceptable” for Scotland to be dragged out of the EU by the English, said First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, and a second independence referendum in Scotland is “highly likely”.

It remains to be seen whether Cameron’s historic blunder will also trigger the disintegration of the EU itself, but there are plenty of right-wing nationalists in other EU countries who hope there will be a domino effect.

Marine Le Pen, leader of France’s Front National, called the UK referendum “a key moment in European history” and said “I hope the French also have a similar exercise.” And “Frexit” is just the start.

Geert Wilders, whose anti-Muslim, antiimmigration Freedom Party is predicted to win 46 of the 150 seats in the Dutch parliament in next year’s election, promised if he were elected, the Netherlands will hold its own “Nexit” referendum. Italy’s anti-immigrant Northern League and the populist 5-Star Movement both called for a referendum on Italian membership of the EU.

Central HastingsTrent Hills News 250 Sidney Street Belleville, ON K8P 3Z3 Phone: 613-966-2034 Fax: 613-966-8747 Published weekly by:

Kristian Thulesen Dahls, the leader of the Danish People’s Party, said that Denmark should follow Britain’s lead. Nationalist leaders in Eastern Europe like Poland’s Jarosław Kaczynski and Hungary’s Viktor Orban indulge in harsh anti-EU rhetoric all the time. And so on.

But most of the people who might vote for thes nationalist leaders are not seeking the destruction of the EU, just big changes in the way it works – in particular the reform or abolition of the euro and much stricter controls on immigration. Unlike the “Little Englanders” who voted for Brexit, they see the European Union as an essential bulwark against a return to the old Europe of beggar-my-neighbour trade policies and savage wars.

The EU’s leaders will have to take a very tough line in the negotiations about the European Union’s post-Brexit relations with the rump of the UK. A horrible example will be required to show the nationalists and populists in other members that leaving is hard and painful. And to preserve the EU they will have to abolish or drastically restructure the euro currency (but that had become necessary anyway).

The odds are, however, that the EU will survive. Its biggest problem will not be the loss of Britain, its second-biggest economy, but rather the fact that post-Brexit Germany will dominate the Union even more than it does already.

As for the English, they have made their bed and they will have to lie in it. The pound sterling has already lost much value and will probably lose much more. The last of the three major global ratings agencies, Standard and Poor’s, will downgrade the UK’s AAA credit rating. Foreign investment will dry up, in recognition of the fact that the country will probably lose dutyfree access to the EU’s “single market”.

Further down the road more pain will follow, as jobs disappear abroad, the English economy goes into recession, and the City of London starts to lose its status as a global financial centre rivalled only by New York. That will make domestic politics nasty enough, but the anti-immigrant fervour and outright racism that disfigured the “Leave” campaign are unlikely to dwindle in the ugly aftermath.

Przybilla is a certified municipal manager currently working as the municipal clerk/ planning coordinator with the Municipality of Centre Hastings.

Before stepping down as chair, Chennette talked about how, while attending education sessions during his initial few months on the board, “I was absolutely astonished how little each group knew how the other operated and the lack of communication on flowing patients through the system.

Funding to our health care system will increase by over $1 billion this year.

Trent-Severn Waterway to receive big funding boost Continued from page 3 MP Neil Ellis attended the official announcement at the Peterborough Lift Locks and said this announcement comes at a great time for Quinte West.

“The Trent-Severn Waterway and Murray Canal are two major routes of water transportation and recreation in the Bay of Quinte,” he said. “As the gateway to the TrentSevern Waterway, this announcement comes at an opportune time for the municipality of Quinte West after recently celebrating tremendous success investing in waterfront tourism, such as the Trent Port Marina.

Suzanne Andrews, manager of the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce, said the newly announced investment will have a positive impact on the community.

“We are a major stop along the route for many boaters and these kinds of investments are going to put stability back into the waterway which is going to pay huge dividends down the road,” said Andrews.

Andrews said the federal government’s investment supports the investment Quinte West has made into the Trent Port Marina.

“Having the waterway continue as a vibrant waterway trail for the boaters for decades to come, for future generations, really just strengthens the importance of the Trent Port Marina, allows us to continue to attract those boaters,” she said.

Andrews said there will be more business opportunities to take advantage of as the TrentSevern becomes more developed.

Investing in new and better ways for all Ontarians to get the care they need means: • 700 new doctors and specialists • 35 hospitals currently being renewed, modernized or expanded • $250 million invested in home and community care • $345 million invested to improve wait times and access to care These investments ensure a strong health care system for both today and tomorrow.

FairTradeWorks hopes to bring development to Marmora

By Margriet Kitchen

Tweed – Two successful poetry and spoken word evenings in a row at the Tweedsmuir Tavern are convincing organizers there is an appetite and appreciation for the poetic arts in the Tweed area. First Tuesday Muse is the name given to the open-stage event organized

by Tweed residents Peter Snell, Billy Piton and his wife Lynn Marriott. Both events have drawn a dozen or more performers and goodsized enthusiastic crowds.

“The first night was … for opening night it was incredible and amazing because nobody knew what was going to happen,” Marriott observes. “But when you get to the second night and it’s a whole new group of people, and new material – some of the people came back for a second time like John Paul Copeland, who told a story about his dad that was heartfelt and funny and mesmerizing, really … it was incredible

all over again but completely different.”

June’s First Tuesday Muse drew an audience of about 45 people and 14 performers of whom five were new to the event. “I read a Mary Prentice Collins poem about Emily Carr’s painting of the raven,” notes Marriott.

The tone of the poems ranged from humourous to poignant, with a moving poem about depression delivered by Belleville poet Kathy Keenan. The group had planned to take the summer off, but have decided to continue through the summer months “to keep the momentum going.”

Piton is grateful to Tweedsmuir owner Peter Spratt who made the house sound system available as well as providing a venue. “I’m amazed, frankly,” says Piton. “The people were there to listen and have a good time.”

Local wood artisan Doug Anderson contributed a background set consisting of a Gothic window frame and a Mexican mask.

Marmora – FairTradeWorks of Vancouver has progressed from an initial meeting in Marmora in February of 2014 to gather community input, to exciting present day plans going forward including development of a number of properties in Marmora. These will include a 10-unit seniors’ apartment complex and main floor commercial development to be constructed on the site of the former Coachlight Restaurant on Forsythe St. FairTradeWorks president and founder, Jim Perkins and communication director Sandra Lummiss held a very well attended Qualified Trades Interview and Information Fair in Marmora for local contractors recently to identify the projects planned, and invite applications to be included in the contactors’ pool of trades. The company contract includes a code of conduct at both an ethical and professional level.

Environmental responsibility, safety, client relations and cleanliness are also very important concerns to the company. A future separate open house will be held for outside employment opportunities and professional services. More informa-

tion can be found by emailing ContactUs@ FairTradeWorks.biz.

At some time in 2017, plans will go forward to build a service centre/hotel complex on Highway 7 at Booster Park Road, where the basic clearing and preparation work of the 33-acre site has been ongoing for some months.

After these projects will come the proposed development of the Crowe Lake 74-acre parcel of land with one kilometre of shoreline, which housed the Crowhill Estates trailer park. This site will include a hotel, conference centre, spa, restaurant and marina, as well as high-end housing, with trails throughout the property for biking and hiking.

Indian River Reptile Zoo’s Croc Walk is a one-of-a-kind facility

By Bill Freeman Norwood – The Indian River Reptile Zoo’s one-of-a-kind Croc Walk is officially open giving visitors a safe and very close look at the world renowned facility’s huge collection of crocodiles, alligators and caimans, many part of a massive rescue that brought over 100 animals to the Norwood area zoo last year.

“It’s the only one of its kind in North America that we know of, definitely in Canada,” says curator Bry Loyst

of the crocodilian building. “It’s an amazing facility.”

The building is geo-heated with over 100,000 gallons of water filling a series of separated pools that are six to seven feet deep.

The geo thermal system installed by Earth Heat generates heat by circulating water which flows through ten holes drilled 200 feet into bedrock.

The liquid circulates through pipes and heat exchangers to generate heat for the ponds up to 80 degrees or as required.

The climate controlled environment is designed specifically for the crocodilians who also have access to outdoor areas from each pond.

Visitors walk on a bridge over the ponds with thick glass windows at various heights offering close viewing.

“They had nowhere else to go; there were no other options,” Loyst said of the rescue. “The best place to go would have been the wild, but unfortunately they associate people with food having been fed by humans their whole lives.”

They also have no idea where exactly they came from. The facility houses caiman from South America, and crocodiles from the Nile and Asia.

“Most of them don’t come from The Indian River Reptile Zoo on Highway 7 just west of Norwood has officially opened its one-of-aFlorida,” says Loyst.

Warkworth – “History of the Future,” featuring the art of Martha Eleen of Toronto/Port Hope is the title of her exhibition currently at Ah! The Arts and Heritage Centre.

An opening reception was held earlier this month and the artist’s talk was held on Sunday as part of the speaker series organized by the centre. This particular exhibition was curated by Dorothy Caldwell, who is a member of the centre’s board of directors. An artist herself, Caldwell maintains an active international exhibition and teaching schedule from her studio in Hastings.

“I had encountered Martha’s work many years ago at an art gallery in Northumberland, and today is a chance for her to talk about her work. We’re just so thrilled to have this show here,” said Caldwell.

“Martha Eleen’s paintings bring attention to the everyday environment and cause us to confront and reconsider our own familiar landscape,” she added.

“This show is a retrospective and doesn’t represent all my bodies of work but Dorothy selected them based on a progression that she had a vision about and for me it’s incredibly exciting,” Eleen commented.

“The show really is about my artistic development at the time.”

The exhibition will be on display at the centre, 35 Church St., until July 3. Gallery hours are Friday, Saturday, Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. To contact the centre email info@ahcentre.ca.

Stirling - Planned renovations to the Stirling-Rawdon Township’s administration building are close to getting underway, Mayor Rodney Cooney told the Stirling-Rawdon Police Services Board on Monday, June 13.

Changes to the building will provide more room and improve the building’s efficiency for the fire and police departments and the Township’s administrative staff.

Police Chief Dario Cecchin said the changes will include moving some offices around and changing things such as the employee entrance and the firearms storage locker. He said most of the changes are being made to the back part of the building.

“This is the plan that is least disruptive for the police service,” he said. “At the end of it all, we‘ll be left with a space that is secure and functional.”

Cooney said the plan also will be the least disruptive for mu-

nicipal staff.

“When this building was originally designed [in 20082009], it was fire, administration and police,” Cooney said.

“It‘s a pretty good diagram.”

He added that the cost of the renovations is expected to be about $100,000.

On another matter, the chief informed the board about new Ontario regulations regarding how police collect information when they conduct traffic stops or detain someone for questioning. Often called carding or profiling, he said this issue raised concerns in the Greater Toronto Area. The new rules outline what kind of information police can collect in terms of identifying someone, what the individual must be told if he is stopped, questioned or detained, and how police must report such interactions.

“The police officer is required to tell the person why they are being spoken to,” he said. “At the end of the interaction, the police officer is

Fire safety message delivered wrapped in a great fun

By John Campbell Campbellford – Fun with fire: not a chance. Fun with firefighters: you betcha.

Just ask members of Campbellford’s mite and squirt softball teams who played a pair of games against local firefighters and participated in a kids firefighter challenge last week as part of a Swing into Summer Safety campaign organized by the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council and involving the Toronto Blue Jays.

Trent Hills Fire Department was one of five in Ontario chosen by the council to launch the campaign across the province, receiving $200 for the purchase of refreshments to stage an event locally.

“It was a great day,” Trent Hills Fire Chief Tim Blake said. “It worked out really well ... I‘m very happy with the outcome.”

The campaign is about educating

“We really got [the] message across” to the children, Blake said, reminding them smoke alarms should be checked once a month and their batteries changed twice a year, in the spring and fall.

Fire departments in Cobourg, Port Hope and Colborne helped out by supplying the kids firefighter challenge, a fire safety castle, and a fire safety house, as well as sending a few firefighters.

“The day was awesome for the kids” and the firefighters “were amazing” with them, mite coach Doug Mathew said in an email. “Not only did the kids learn about fire safety but I did as well! My son Josh made me check

Cougars off Trent Hills pair invited to attend hockey camps that shape to Canadian national junior squad finals after OASA win

By Bill Freeman

Campbellford – The Campbellford OPG Midget Cougars shook off a slow start at the OASA elimination tournament in Cobourg, but eventually found their groove, winning the title and a spot in the Canadian U-18 finals in Saskatoon.

The defending national silver medalists dusted off Chepstow Lang Farms 13-3 in the tourney final to book their passage to the nationals.

Riley Manion pitched a four-hitter and fanned six batters to take the win with a full team effort behind him.

The Cougars had an inauspicious start to the three-day tournament, eking out a 2-1 extra innings win Friday night over Caledonia to start, then finding it equally hard to manufacture runs in another 2-1 win against Newberry.

The bats finally came alive against the Port Perry Orioles, surging to a 13-1 mercy win.

Campbellford kept their offensive mojo in the “unbeaten game” Saturday night against long-time rivals Wellesley, showing no mercy in an 8-1 six-inning victory.

The undefeated Cougars will represent Ontario at the nationals along with second place finishers Chepstow and third-place Wellesley.

Cougar notes: Campbellford will host the provincial OASA finals in Campbellford and Stirling on the weekend of July 22....The Cougars played their second game in the Peterborough City Men’s League, defeating the Curve Lake Slayers 9-5 with Manion and Ben Broek, a member of Canada’s national U-18 team, throwing for Campbellford. Stewart Battman’s centre field homer off Abe Leahy was the hitting highlight of the night....The Cougars will play an exhibition game against the Cold Springs Intermediates on July 5 (8:15 p.m.) at the Kinsmen Park in Campbellford.

CAS cruises to fundraising success

By Jack Evans Everyone agreed it was a wonderful day for a cruise on the bay. Especially officials of The Children’s Foundation, who enthused about the financial success of the fundraising project.

Connie Reid, executive director,

said the cruise was arranged partly to focus public attention on the agency’s new Picton office, now a space in the official CAS office. Since amalgamation of the Prince Edward, Northumberland and Hastings agencies a few years ago, the long-standing Hastings Children’s Foundation, which has been serving the Hastings CAS chil-

dren, that agency too has expanded to include all three counties.

In bright sun and gentle, balmy breezes, close to 200 people boarded the Kingston-based Island Queen at the Picton dock for a three-hour cruise down to Prinyers Cove and back. The fee was $50, with a second, evening dinner cruise later at $150

per person.

As passengers young and old, some in wheelchairs, boarded the ship, they were greeted by a nauticallydressed crew, while many others in the dock area were just spectators, waving farewell to friends or family.

Reid also gave an official welcome to the passengers, along with Susan

Rose, cruise committee chair, and Angus Francis, manager of children’s services for Highland Shores Children’s Aid. On top of the cruises themselves, the agency also ran 50-50 draws.

From a first-time project, Reid confirmed that it would become an annual event.

A Stirling-Rawdon police officer is recovering from a gunshot wound to his hand after accidentally discharging his sidearm, said the police force.

Belleville police are assisting Stirling-Rawdon police and two provincial agencies in the investigation into the incident, which occurred Tuesday, June 21.

Chief of Police Dario Cecchin issued a statement and said before the incident, the officer participated in a session of pistol re-qualification at a nearby firearms range.

Upon returning to the police station, the officer began to disassemble the pistol in order to clean it. While he was

disassembling it, the pistol discharged one round into the hand of the officer and the bullet went through an exterior wall. It happened around 1 p.m.

No one else was injured. Belleville Police Service is conducting an investigation on behalf of the Stirling-Rawdon Police Service and the Ministry of the Community Safety and Correctional Services and the Ministry of Labour have been notified, as well.

The injured officer, who has not been named, was taken to hospital for treatment. He was released from hospital two days after the incident.

Catholic school board submits balanced budget at $145M The Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board approved a balanced operating budget of $145.5 million and a capital budget of $8.6 million for the 201617 school year at the regular board meeting held June 21.

The Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board has approximately 11,200 elementary and secondary students, 1,320 fulltime equivalent staff and covers a geographical area of more than 16,000 square kilometres, which in-

cludes Belleville and Quinte West.

The budget reflects the commitment of the Board of Trustees to meet the needs of the students within the confines of the provincial funding model. The budget aligns the Board’s Strategic Plan with the Ministry of Education’s goals which include achieving excellence, ensuring equity, promoting well-being and enhancing public confidence.

Board Chair Greg Speagle acknowledged that the province continues to make a substantive

commitment to funding education despite the financial challenges the province has experienced over the last few years.

“Despite the impact of funding challenges presented by declining enrolment over the years, we are pleased that trustees have once again been able to pass a balanced budget that will provide the opportunity for our students to achieve personal growth and academic success in a faith based community,” he said. The chair added that since

2002-03 the board’s student enrolment has decreased by approximately 17 per cent, which represents an enrolment decline of 2,200 students.

Notwithstanding the funding challenges, the Director of Education Jody DiRocco indicated, “students will continue to receive the required program and service supports that are needed in relationship to the overall funding received from the province.”

The Director said “the focus in

the planning of the 2016-17 budget was to realign resources to provide as much stability and balance to the school system and enhance program support to students while maintaining our focus on student achievement and well-being.

“To achieve this, a review of select programs and services was undertaken this year with the goal of aligning expenditures to funding provided by the province without accessing accumulated surplus to balance the budget.”

Hastings County Plowing Match moves north for 2016

By Diane Sherman Madoc Township – The annual Hastings County Plowing Match will be held at the historic McKinnon farm in Madoc Township, on land once thought too rocky to plow for even family farming. Over the past 166 years, the McKinnons have cleared those obstacles and now, six genera-

tions later, work 980 acres.

The plowing match has a clear 60 acres suitable for their event. Don McKinnon is 91 on June 21, and his son Angus and granddaughter Haley Mason are bringing in the hay this year.

Their ancestors emigrated in 1850 from the Isle of Sky, off the coast of Scotland, to settle 100 acres on

the curve of Queensborough Road, just east of Hazzard’s Corners in the Township of Madoc.

The original section is still in the family and over the years, as others gave up farming or wanted to sell off land, the family farm gradually expanded.

Don had dairy cattle for years until he gave that up due to aging and a

more complicated market. They now raise beef cattle and sheep, grow corn for silage and market their soybeans.

Don and his wife Madeline had three children. Angus chose to farm while Anna and Ardith followed in their mother’s path to become teachers.

Haley, Anna’s daughter, has taken to farm life. She was about to bring the

baler around to pick up the first cut from the field where exhibitors will set up August 24-25 for the match.

The township has assisted in opening up access entrances to two fields off Queensborough Road. The back field is where demonstrations of antique machinery will be, and two fields are dedicated to the plowing match itself.

Don McKinnon, his son Angus, granddaughter Haley and their family will host the 2016 Hastings County Plowing Match at their farm in Madoc Township, August 24-25. Photo by Diane Sherman

CAS holds first aboriginal workshop

By Jack Evans Native communities at Tyendinaga and Aldersville that have been part of the regional Children’s Aid Society for some years, may decide to separate and either form their own societies or join with other establishes native aid societies, the Highland Shores CAS board was told recently.

That information was part of a report of the first aboriginal workshop day held recently, with sessions by CAS staff in both Tyendinaga and Aldersville, said Mark Kartusch, executive director.

He described the sessions as hugely successfully and stressed that any parting of the ways would be amicable with the present CAS which spans Hastings, Prince Edward and Northumberland counties standing by to offer assistance as needed.

Nora Sawyer, chair of the agency’s Aboriginal Advisory Committee, expanded, to describe the day as “Aboriginal 101,” and described it as interesting and exciting. The format of holding sessions in two places on the same day remained challenging though, she said. The Aldersville session was held “outdoors,” because “things are different outside.” She said she is working on an “evaluation” and expressed hope for more such sessions in the future.

Kartusch also reviewed results of a recent initiative by the province for all Children’s Aid Societies to review their levels of service and satisfaction. The local unit came “around the provincial

average overall, but the province’s goal is to meet all standards by 100 per cent,,” he said, indicating programs to improve in each quarter.

In reviewing the draft audit for the past year, one member questioned the society’s use of “interest swop.” It was explained that for large loans, various institutions offer such a program by which one can save several interest points from normal mortgage or lending rates. There is a fixed rate of four per cent, plus a half per cent add-on, which is renegotiated from time to time. The system is widely used by agencies and municipal councils taking on large projects.

Board members and staff also enthused about the recent Awards Night for CAS care children, especially the bursary awards. Kartusch recalled that in 2003 the society had only one child in care attending post secondary education. Now, with the program expanded throughout the three counties, there are 60 to 70 kids enrolled in post secondary, thanks to the foundation. He described the evening, held in Loyalist College as one of “heart.”

The board also reviewed the role of the foundation in sending increased numbers of children to summer camp, including 22 from Prince Edward County alone, also a new first time project – a cruise on the Bay of Quinte on the Kingston-based Island Queen, set for Picton on the next day with more than 120 children expected.

The board will not hold any regular meetings during the summer, but has its annual general meeting set for Thursday, Sept. 8 in Cobourg.

Municipalities will be given the choice of electing candidates by ranked ballots

By John Campbell Trent Hills – The provincial government will be offering municipalities the option of switching from a “first past the post” system for electing council members to using ranked ballots in 2018.

Under the new system, electors vote by ranking candidates for office in order of their preference. Votes

are distributed based on the rankings.

The province is also shortening the period in which a person can register as a candidate. Currently it runs from Jan. 1 to the second Friday in September; in 2018, nominations won’t be accepted until May 1 and the deadline will be the end of July.

Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi spoke about the changes contained in the Municipal Elections

Modernization Act during his annual visits to councils in Brighton, Trent Hills and Cramahe Township last week.

Rinaldi said the government received about 3,600 submissions from stakeholders, with “a lot of them from municipal councils [saying] a year of campaigning was too long.”

Corporate and union donations to candidates to help offset election

costs also are being banned, he said.

The new law, which takes effect in 45 days, sets out a regulatory process for moving to ranked ballots.

Before a municipality can pass a bylaw to make it happen, it must hold an open house to explain how the election is be conducted, including a description of vote counting, and the estimated costs. A public meeting must also be held after the open house takes place.

Rinaldi stressed it’s “strictly at the option of the municipality” whether it sticks with what’s in place now or switches to ranked ballots.

No such system currently exists in Canada, he said, but it is used

in Europe and Australia, and by political parties to elect a leader.

Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan said shortening the registration period for candidates “seems a good idea” because the last campaign “was just painful, unnecessary, costly.”

However, he has no interest in introducing ranked ballots in Trent Hills.

With the smaller voter turnouts that “we’re seeing, I don’t see where there would be any advantage to it,” Macmillan said. “It’s always been my firm belief that a race is a race and first past the post wins it...Either you won or you didn’t.”

Deputy Mayor Bob Crate said six to eight weeks to run a campaign is long enough. He also wasn’t in favour of ranked ballots because “people who don’t win [would] somehow have a chance to be a representative.

I don’t agree with it.”

Bring them inside

By Dan Clost I started gardening, seriously, when we moved into our first home. I grew up on a farm and I’m sure there were flowers but I don’t remember; perhaps there were some peonies. I do remember a substantial vegetable garden and all of the crops in our fields.

Our first home was on Victoria Ave. in Trenton and came with a very small backyard; the front porch was 8” off of the sidewalk and there were no sideyards. The house, itself, was spacious and just right for a new family but there was not much in the way of greensward. At the time, I was employed at Morning Star Orchard. The train tracks bisected the tree blocks and there were many old railway ties cluttering the road. Being young, I hauled a number of them up the slope, brought them home and sawed them up in order to create triangular flower beds and a two-tiered back yard. I learned three things from this exercise: the tar or creosote used as a preservative also was an effective herbicide; it was very hard work with a bow saw; and, the embankments were covered with Rhus radicans, aka poison ivy. The beds were filled with annuals, every year. I scoured

all of the nurseries in the area, many of which are no longer in operation, to pick up several cell packs at each.

I was a serious consumer and made it a point to thoroughly check out the market before committing myself.

More than a few decades later I approach annuals in a much less serious manner and tend to pick up a flat of whatever at whatever outlet I happen to be closest to. (I don’t buy petunias.) However, I do like impatiens and continue to plant several flats of them wherever I have an empty shady place. I have never had any issues with diseases.

I spent hours tending to our little plots, nipping off every senescent (dead) leaf from marigolds, balsam impatiens and asters. Today, I seldom deadhead and if I do I use big honking lawn shears. In those early days, I would not allow anyone to make bouquets; the flowers had to remain on the plants else wise they would be less than they should be. I was not at all pleasant when someone snapped off a stem to take home and squirrels quickly learned that I would track them down if they nipped a bud or two in the bud. Over the maturing years, the pendulum oscillated to the other end of the arc and has stayed there. When someone, especially

ments on a a younger person, comments pretty bloom, I’m likely to nip it off em. I know myself and give it to them. duce a new the plant will soon produce flower and it is possiblee that whor, especially ever received the flower, a younger person, will bee inspired to start their own garden. joy walking Today, I thoroughly enjoy into our home and seeingg fresh bouus rooms of quets of blooms in various the home, whether it is a small vase ms or a large with only one or two stems wers, ferns, bouquet including flowers, rsythia, weihardwood stems (e.g. forsythia, gela), and even grasses.

Bench mysteriously re-appears in Campbellford’s community garden

By John Campbell Campbellford – The bench is back.

Missing for more than a week, the bench made from a 300-year-old barn beam was returned to Campbellford Community Edibles Garden sometime overnight June 21-22.

“It was very saddening when it was taken,” committee member Rebekah Leach-King said, but while it was gone she was cheered by the community’s “overwhelming” show of support, with people offering to donate another bench or volunteering to make one.

She doesn’t know why it was removed — “people have errors of judgment” — but the committee is “so thankful it’s back,” she said.

Fellow committee member Joan Sheppard said more than 80 people responded when the group revealed on Facebook the bench had been stolen.

“Everybody was working hard to try to find the bench and bring it back,” she said.

With its return, the committee can again focus its attention on the community garden, which Sheppard said is “alive and well, everything is growing” — including basil, oregano, dill, mint, cilantro, cabbage, green and yellow beans, beets, tomatoes, peppers, onions, swiss chard, kale, and cucumbers. They’re growing in 30 raised beds made of wood frames;

elsewhere, it’s squash in a cultivated area, and peas in a spot where they can climb.

“We will have pick days and/or set up a little stand here one day a week for people to come get what’s ready,” she said, and they’re “certainly welcome to come out and volunteer,” to pick weeds or to water the plants.

“It’s a wonderful thing for the town, it’s really brought everybody together,” said Janice Bell, who painted the sign at no charge using money donated by another garden supporter, Klarissa Kocsis, to purchase the material.

The community garden “is part of a universal movement, this is happening all over the world,” Sheppard said.

“We love what we’re doing, it’s a passion for all of us,” Leach-King said. The “core of volunteers” who help out “are just fantastic, they’re unsung heroes.”

Good news on two fronts: The bench has been returned to Campbellford Community Edibles Garden and there’s a sign now letting passersby know about the garden’s existence. Janice Bell, on the left, made the sign at no cost, with a donation of money for material from Klarissa Kocsis.

Theatre guild to continue search for annex

By Jack Evans Despite a disappointing experience in dealing with Belleville city hall for the hoped-for purchase of the former Irish-Canadian Hall, the Belleville Theatre Guild will continue to seek for a suitable “annex” property for rehearsal, storage, set building and training.

President Moira Forrester summed up the experience in her report to the BTG annual meeting Wednesday eve-

ning.

Except for the property deal, the 2015-16 year was a huge success for the guild, she summed up.

Reviewing the property deal, the guild made an offer when the city offered it for sale, but it was edged out by another offer. Then the city reported that one had fallen through and the guild offer could stand. The board got tentative approval for a mortgage through QuintEssential Credit Union but wanted to know about taxes, hoping to have them waived as a local

charity group. City Hall could not or would not even tell them how much the taxes might be and, as for a rebate, referred them to the Municipal Property Assessment Commission. That report did not arrive in time for the deadline and the city refused any extension so the deal fell through. (The city has now listed the property for sale again.)

Forrester made it clear she thought the city’s treatment of a long-standing community charity was shabby, but suggested the guild might be better off

A visit to the heart of the Yukon gold rush

By John M. Smith Dawson City was the very heart of the Yukon Gold Rush, which began back in 1896 when George Carmack, Dawson Charlie, and Skookum Jim Mason struck it rich on Bonanza Creek (then known as Rabbit Creek), a tributary of the Klondike River. The area was immediately staked and claimed, but word of the discovery of “a ton of gold” that ran in a newspaper article in Seattle the following year triggered off a mass migration of gold-seekers. It was 1898 before the actual influx arrived into the Yukon, and it’s believed that about 100,000 set off on the journey, and about 30,000 actually made it.

The ambitious and money-hungry arrived in Skagway, Alaska, the gateway to the Yukon, and then made the arduous journey toward Dawson City. By the time that these goldseekers arrived, they discovered that there was actually almost no chance of finding gold anymore, for all the best spots had already been claimed.

They now found themselves in a strange, harsh land, with very little hope for immediate wealth or even a regular job. To survive, many of these new residents became entrepreneurs to provide services to the

miners and other townsfolk.

The tiny village of Dawson City, basically just a native summer fish camp and moose hunting area, suddenly had the largest population of any city north of Seattle and west of Winnipeg. What a change!

By 1899, the Gold Rush was basically over, so the thriving “metropolis” of Dawson City was basically a “one year wonder”, and then its population began to plummet once again. You might liken this phenomenon to so many rock bands and singers who come along with a great song and then simply peter out, never to get such a hit again.

Dawson City now has a population of less than 2,000, and the historic town centre is a National Historic Site. You won’t find any cement sidewalks or modern highrises here, for it’s to be preserved as it once was. Therefore, many tourists come here to simply re-live this enthralling piece of history, to walk along the old-time boardwalks and to check out such renowned establishments as the Dawson City Museum (housed in the former Territorial Administrative Building), the Dawson City Fire Fighter Museum ( the Yukon’s oldest fire department), Diamond Tooth Gerties Gambling Hall

(with its vaudeville show and highkicking Gold Rush Girls) and the Sourdough Saloon in the Downtown Hotel (where one can join the “Sourtoe Cocktail Club” by consuming a drink with a dehydrated human toe immersed in it). Most visitors also want to go to the very spot where that gold was discovered in 1896 on Bonanza Creek, and this can be reached by taking a stroll along the Discovery Trail to the Discovery Claim site. Just upstream from there is Free Claim #6 (now owned and maintained by the Klondike Visitors Centre), where a visitor can pan for gold in Bonanza Creek – and you get to keep your findings! It’s also possible to visit Dredge #4, on Claim #17, and to get a guided tour of this humungous piece of equipment, the largest wooden hull dredge in the world. Now a National Historic Site, it was used to mine the gold. It could dig up the gold-bearing gravel at a rate of 22 buckets per minute!

Of course, this certainly altered the area’s landscape, leaving large mounds of waste product, tailings, in its aftermath.

As a former English teacher, I just had to visit the homes of writers Robert Service, Jack London, and Pierre Berton while in Daw-

son City. I also enjoyed an excursion on the Klondike Spirit, an old paddlewheeler, where I passed an old paddlewheel graveyard, a native community, and the cave home of Caveman Bill (I’ll be elaborating on this in a future article).

Another summertime “must do” in Dawson City is a trip up to the summit of Midnight Dome for the spectacular view. This knob of metaphoric rock is located just south of the Tintina Trench fault line, and it’s a tradition for locals and visitors alike to come up here on June 21, for it will be light for most of the 24 hour time span of summer solstice. You can take a photo of the valley below at midnight! For the avid golfer, this same date is perfect for the “Midnight Sun Golf Tournament”, when teams of five play in a best ball tournament at midnight.

Other interesting annual events in the summer include the Dawson City Music Fest, the Yukon River Quest (the longest river race), the Yukon Gold Panning Championships, the Top of the World Highland Games, and the Great Klondike Outhouse Race.

While in the vicinity, I’d also recommend taking a trip on the

unpaved Dempster Highway to Tombstone Territorial Park, where you’ll find a vast area of pristine wilderness. You might even choose to sample a cup of Mountain Wild tea in the Tombstone Interpretive Centre.

Yes, there are many things to see and do on a summertime visit to Dawson City, the heart of the Yukon Gold Rush. You’ll also find that there are still gold-seekers in this area, with several small, active, privately owned gold-mining operations.

Outdoor Movies returns to Downtown Belleville tonight What could be better than watching a movie outdoors on a beautiful night in Downtown Belleville?

The BDIA is ready to launch its Outdoor Movies program for a second year. It starts on Thursday, June 30, with a screening of Pitch Perfect. It begins at dusk from Empire Square, at 321 Front St. Two other movies are planned for the summer at Empire Square. On Thursday, July 28 the popular animation Monsters Inc. plays at dusk.

Support the Troops open stage provides year-round musical venue

By Brett Mann Madoc – Only a handful of people under protective tarps braved blistering heat to appreciate the live music on offer at June’s Support the Troops open stage at the Arts Centre Hastings in Madoc, but the enthusiasm of the musicians was not diminished by the small audience. The monthly event has been going on for about three years, winter and summer says organizer Cliff Andrews.

“It was initially started between myself and the Lions Club,” says Andrews, who is a retired Chief Warrant Officer in the Service Corps of the Canadian Army. “It was just when we finished off with when the buses came through Tweed for Afghanistan.

“Just when that had finished we thought maybe we should do something to continue on with this because the troops did such a great job for us.

And they still do other things.” The open stage occurs on the third Sunday of each month from January to September and attracts a mix of musical styles and experience. “For the winter months of course we’re indoors. For the summer months we try to move outside as much as possible.” Andrews adds that the local cable TV company, Hastings Cable has recorded some of the events and some are available on You Tube.

Last year, in collaboration with the Lions Club, the open stage raised $600 for the Military Family Resource Centre in Trenton, Andrews reports. Musician Christine Ouelette adds her talents to the line up at June’s SupThe music is free but a donation box is port the Troops open stage in Madoc. Photo by Brett Mann always available on-site. Centre Hastings provides the venue and sound system and Andrews says, “We’ll Eastern ontario s premier keep going as long as the musicians art exhibition & sale keep coming out and people want to hear live music.”

Campbellford Cougar ace joins Team Canada Ciders of many kinds growing in popularity Ontario Craft Cider Week was celebrated recently in bars across the province. Among those taking part was Church-Key Pub & Grindhouse in Campbellford, which invited cider makers to give samples of their wares. Accepting owner John Graham’s offer to make their products more widely known were, l-r, Chris McRae (Empire Cider, Codrington), Aaron Crang and Cassie Cobosh (County Cider Company, Waupoos), and Danielle Leavitt (401 Cider, Colborne). Cider sales have taken off the past year, they said, growing in popularity among consumers eager to try out new flavours of the beverage.
