Havelock Recreational & Performance Motor Show site “a field of dreams” By Sue Dickens

News – Havelock – “A field of dreams” is how Ed Leslie described the scene before him last weekend as he watched the hundreds of cars, big rigs, boats and RVs fill the acres of land he owns where he hosted the Havelock Recreational & Performance Motor Show, better known has RPM Havelock. The owners of the site, Paula Chopik and Ed Leslie, already have a successful venue, the Havelock Jamboree, which brings in upwards of 20,000 people annually. The three-day RPM Havelock weekend, (four if you count the day the campers and overnighters arrived), was a huge success, according to visitors, participants and general manager Jennifer Goheen. “We had way more people than we expected,” she told the Trent Hills Independent Sunday evening, after the show wrapped up. Participation, for the first show of its kind here, was high. “We had over 320 cars then boats and trucks on top of that,” she commented. “All of our vendors were so happy . . . we had amazing feedback from people saying they couldn’t believe it was our first year, how well it was run, how much there was to see. People were amazed with the variety and entertainment and stuff,” she added, tired but excited. Goheen said the car show “was the best part,” but admitted the laser light show on Friday evening and the rockin’ performance by Counts 77 featuring Danny “Count” Koker the host of the popular TV series Counting Cars was also a Please see “Havelock” on page 2

Havelock Recreational & Performance Motor Show he said. “It’s a toys for boys show,” he said with a huge grin as he offered a personal tour of his motorcycle collection on site. “Artistry in Iron - Edjo’s Motorcycle Museum Display” is an extraordinary collection of 80 vintage Harley-Davidson motorcycles and this is the

Awards were handed out to the top three winners in the various categories of cars and trucks. “Ed was very happy with the turnout especially the first year to get close to 400 ve-

first time they have been on display since the museum in Niagara Falls closed. From the flea market to the helicopter rides for those who dared soar above the venue, RPM Havelock was the place to be. Perhaps Gary Acton of Havelock, of DeeJay Trailers, who was there with his two children, Rowan, 3 and Cash, 5, summed it up best when he said, “There’s lots to see here, something for everyone. I think it’s a pretty good idea having a show like this here.” “We absolutely want to grow the show. We would like to see more campers because the facilities are here. We would like to see more families,” Goheen concluded.

hicles,” Goheen said. Leslie agreed. “I have been wanting to do this for years so I thought I am going to put a show on that will interest all motor enthusiasts, whether it’s cars, motorcycles, boats or trucks,”

Trucking for a Cure is a community event partner fund-raising on behalf of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and Joanne Mackenzie of Brockville, a driver for Highland Transport, brought her truck to the show to raise money. With her are: Laura Horner of Oshawa, (in the truck); Dylan, age 10, who Marvin Merritt and Richard Strohmayer of Bancroft agreed to pose for a photograph by this classic 1911 Cadillac, is going to be a trucker like his dad; and Maureen O’Connell, originally bought new by a cotton plantation owner in southern USA and brought to the show by Peter Fawcett who is part of the Trucking for a Cure team.

Recognizing the changing demographics, future needs, and after 11 years of discussion regarding a new multipurpose recreational facility, the Municipality of Trent Hills is now planning to construct three Community Recreation and Wellness Campuses. One of the most frequently asked questions is: How can we afford this? In 2009, the Municipality developed a Financial Plan to fund a wellness facility in Campbellford and a recreation facility in Hastings at a cost of $27 million. The Municipal share would cover one third of the costs, with the balance to be contingent on Federal and Provincial funding. Beginning in 2010, an additional $75,000 each year has been collected through a 6-year tax levy plan. In the first year $75,000 would be collected, the next year $150,000 and so on. The plan is currently in year five. At year six, the amount collected is $450,000, bringing the sum collected to $2.5 million. In 2013, the recreation re-development costs were revised to more accurately reflect costs, as well as including an addition to the Warkworth Arena. Based on a projected cost of $33 million, the Municipal share is $11 million. www.flourishcampaign.ca

In addition to the $2.5 million collected through the levy, the Municipality will access $1.5 million from the Campbellford Seymour Community Foundation Municipal Fund. The Campbellford Seymour Community Foundation has also committed $500,000 from the Community Fund toward this project. A fundraising goal of $1 million has been set for the community to raise. This leaves a $5.5 million balance to be funded that would require a mortgage. At the end of the six-year levy plan, each year there is already $450,000 built into the budget. This would more than fund the loan or debenture at 5% with a loan repayment period of 20 years. A further tax increase would not be required. Current capital cost spending on recreational facilities is $150,000 to $200,000 per year. Flourish, The Trent Hills Wellness Campaign is an initiative that will contribute to the overall health, wellness and development of our community. This is an exciting and unprecedented venture that will enshrine wellness for all as a community priority in Trent Hills. The Flourish Campaign is a partnership between the Municipality of Trent Hills, the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation and the Campbellford/Seymour Community Foundation with a combined goal to raise $7 million.

Local ‘ambassador’ wins award for work on Our Canada Project By John Campbell

News - Trent Hills – Tanya Nestoruk performed so well as an ambassador for the Our Canada Project (OCP) that she’s won an award and been invited to be an ambassador again in September. Nestoruk got the good news in an email from Amanda Palumbo, project coordinator for Learning

for a Sustainable Future at York University’s Institute for Research and Innovation in Sustainability. It was there that the Our Canada Project was developed to help youth put into action their vision for a better Canada. She was chosen from among 26 ambassadors across the country to receive the award, a Cana-

dian travel adventure valued at $1,500. “Your diverse and numerous presentations, media coverage, bookmark idea, photos, and enthusiasm to carry this to several community groups both in your province as well as remotely in the fall has made you the winner of this OCP Ambassador award,” Tanya Nestoruk’s work with young people as an ambassador for the Our Canada Project won her an award and an invitation to perform the same service in September. Photo: Submitted

Palumbo wrote. Nestoruk met with different groups such as students and members of youth service organizations earlier this year to encourage them to get involved in a nation-wide effort to build a sustainable future. She was “absolutely thrilled and honoured” to receive the award but “even more excited about” resuming her role as ambassador. “I’m so glad I was able to reach out to so many youth and promote sustainability in my region. It was an incredible journey throughout the spring to deliver presentations to various schools and community groups in East-

ern Ontario, on the Our Canada Project, promoting action plans empowering others to make Canada more sustainable.” Nestoruk spoke to a wide range of groups, which proved “both challenging and exciting,” in coming up with new games, crafts and activities that were appropriate for the age of her listeners. “One of my favourite activities was creating murals on nonbleached recycled mural paper, brainstorming ideas as a group” on contributions youth have made and will continue to make to “social, economic, cultural and environmental action.” she said. “Everyone worked together to illustrate their ideas on the paper

(which) went over great.” Teachers posted the murals in their classrooms and the Girl Guides even posted one in their local library. “It is so wonderful to see youth inspiring other youth to take action on sustainability,” said Nestoruk, who just graduated from the University of Guelph with honours in environmental governance. She gave “special thanks” to the Campbellford-Seymour Community Foundation for publicizing the position. “I’m glad we have such great organizations spreading wonderful opportunities throughout the community,” she said.

Defibrillators now installed in all Trent Hills arenas

News - Trent Hills - Recreational arenas in Trent Hills are now equipped with Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), thanks to a partnership between the Public Health Agency of Canada and the Heart and Stroke Foundation (HSF). In a recent announcement Northumberland-Quinte West MP Rick Norlock said all the arenas in Northumberland County now have the AEDs. “Our government is committed to protecting the health and safety of Canadians while encouraging active and healthy lifestyles. We are well on our way to ensuring all recreational arenas across Canada are equipped with these life-saving devices,” he stated. Defibrillators are electronic

devices used to restart a person’s heart that has stopped beating. They are safe, easy-to-use, and while they can be operated effectively by the public, training equips people with the knowledge and skills to confidently use these devices and to deliver quick CPR. “Each year, up to 40,000 Canadians experience sudden cardiac arrest, as many as 85 per cent occur in public places or at home,” said Bobbe Wood, president of the Heart and Stroke Foundation “Without rapid and appropriate treatment, most cardiac arrests will result in death. Access to early CPR and defibrillation, preferably within the first one to three minutes after cardiac arrest, increases chances of survival by as much as 75 per cent,” she

added. A four-year program to install AEDs in arenas was announced in February 2013. “At this time we estimate that 2,000 AEDs will be installed by 2016,” said Norlock. Through this initiative, the Government of Canada is providing support to the HSF to develop a national database that will track AEDs installed in recreational arenas. The database is intended to provide local Emergency Medical Services (EMS) with valuable information regarding the availability of AEDs located in their jurisdictions. This initiative is funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada and carried out by the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Please see “Defibrillators” on page 5

Farm award a “heart-warming” honour for Havelock family Jim, Tracy, Amy, Beth and Jesse Dafoe are well-deserved recipients of a BMO Ontario Farm Family Award presented in partnership with the Ontario Plowman’s Association. Photo: submitted

By Bill Freeman

News - Havelock-Belmont-Methuen The Dafoe family of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen celebrate “farm, family and fun” every day of the week and now they can bask in the well-deserved glow of a BMO Ontario Farm Family award. The Dafoes, Jim, Tracy and their children Jesse, 19, Bethany, 16 and Amy, 11 are recipients of an Ontario Plowman’s Association BMO Farm Family Award, one of ten provincial awards that will be presented during the one hundred and first International Plowing Match near Ivy, in Simcoe County. The awards program was created by BMO in 2012 to “promote a renewed urban-rural relationship and to recognize outstanding Ontario farm families who best typify the value of the family farmer to our society.” The Dafoes fit the bill to a “t” but the award still comes as a nice surprise. “(With) a small farm such as ours, we really don’t think about winning an award. You just do your day-to-day routine being stewards of the land and looking after the well-being of your animals,” says Tracy. “Receiving the award is quite an honour; it warmed our hearts to be recognized for our hard work and dedication to our farming operations,” she says. “We take great pride in our farm and we are very proud of our family. It takes everyone’s involvement and team support to make it successful.” They are the fourth generation to operate the family farm, which milks 42 cows twice a day all year long. “We probably wouldn’t want it any other way,” says Tracy. “Both of us enjoy what we. Making time for fun family activities has always been tricky but that’s something we always try to do.” Those activities include extracurricular activities with their children or hosting a family farm picnic. Jim also finds “great pleasure” in

Macmillan doesn’t see need for ombudsman scrutiny

By John Campbell

News - Trent Hills – Mayor Hector Macmillan doesn’t think much of a provincial bill that will give Ontario Ombudsman Andre Marin authority to investigate public complaints about municipalities, universities and school boards. “I have the greatest respect for him and his office but for the province to suggest that municipalities need to have the oversight of an ombudsman is a bit of a smokescreen,” Macmillan said, because it’s the Ontario government that deserves greater scrutiny. The Association of Municipalities

of Ontario has offered the same view, that “it’s just a smokescreen for the province’s own problems,” he said. To say it’s trying to make municipal business more transparent, “that’s something the province needs to do to their government. I’ve never heard anybody say that municipal government here isn’t transparent.” Marin was to speak to Brighton council this week about Bill 8 as well as discuss his role as municipal closed meeting investigator for more than 190 municipalities. Council holds all its meetings in public as it’s required by law, Macmillan said. The only time

sessions are closed is if the matter to be discussed involves personnel, property or legal issues, which is “pretty rare and (it’s) understandable why we did,” Macmillan said. In a recent column that appeared in the Toronto Star, Marin said his office received 1,595 complaints about municipalities last year. “Municipal government in Ontario is crying out for oversight,” he wrote. “We see news stories daily across the province about ‘bad behaviour’ in the bureaucracy and among politicians. Who holds them to account?” Marin responded to criticism from the AMO that Bill 8 is heavy-

handed, saying municipalities were given the power to create their own accountability officers in 2008 but that was an “epic fail” as Toronto was the only one of 444 municipalities to appoint an ombudsman. Macmillan said with the proposed legislation if a municipality does not appoint its own ombudsman “then the Ontario ombudsman becomes the municipal ombudsman by default.” The mayor said Trent Hills occasionally receives requests under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act “but the only reason we go through that process is so that people don’t abuse

the system and come in and just think they can get copies of stuff free of charge. There is staff time to hunt that up, photocopy it all, collate it and provide it. The only reason we would make somebody go through an FOI is because we want the cost recouped, that we’re entitled to.” Macmillan said in the past there was “flagrant abuse of the system, people coming in getting thousands of documents photocopied free of charge (even though) they really didn’t need it anyway ... This curtailed that.” Council members and staff “work for the taxpayers, we’re not here to beat them up.”

OPINION American Spies in Germany: The End of Trust Editorial - The question to bear in mind, when reading this whole sorry tale, is this. If Americans are, on average, no stupider than Germans, then why are their intelligence services so stupid? After the most recent revelations about American spying in Germany, there was considerable speculation among members of the Bundestag (parliament) that Gwynne Dyer Germany might “get even” by inviting US whistleblower Edward Snowden to leave his Moscow exile and come to Berlin instead. But last weekend Chancellor Angela Merkel, at her traditional pre-summer vacation press conference, rained all over that idea. “We learned things (from Snowden) that we didn’t know before, and that’s always interesting,” she said – but “granting asylum isn’t an act of gratitude.” Given that one of the things she learned from Snowden was that the US National Security Agency was bugging her mobile phone, this showed admirable restraint on her part, but even Merkel’s restraint only goes so far. Only a week before, her patience with persistent American spying, even after Snowden’s revelations, snapped quite dramatically: she ordered the US Central Intelligence Agency’s “chief of station” at the American embassy in Berlin to leave the country. German media reports stressed that such drastic action had only been taken previously when dealing with “pariah states like North Korea or Iran.” Clemens Binninger, the chair of the parliamentary committee that oversees the German intelligence service, explained that the action came in response to the US “failure to cooperate on resolving various allegations, starting with the NSA and up to the latest incidents.” The “latest incidents” were the arrest of two German citizens, accused of spying for the US – whose key contact was the CIA station chief in Berlin. The United States has never formally apologised for tapping Merkel’s phone. It refused to give her access to the NSA file on her before she visited Washington in April. And it went on paying a spy who worked for the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND - Federal Intelligence Service) right down to this month. “One can only cry at the sight of so much stupidity,” said Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble, insisting that the information given to the US by the spies was of no real value. That’s probably true – yet the American controllers paid their spy in the BND

almost $40,000 in cash for 218 secret German documents downloaded to computer memory sticks and handed over at secret locations in Austria. Some of those secret documents were even about the discussions of the German parliamentary committee that was investigating the earlier American spying efforts, including the bugging of Chancellor Merkel’s phone. The American spy agencies simply don’t know how to stop spying, even when they have been caught red-handed. They only got away with such brazen behaviour for so long because the Germans naively trusted them. The spy from the BND, for example, simply sent the US embassy an email asking if they were interested in “cooperation”. The German authorities didn’t pick up on it because they didn’t monitor even the uncoded communications of a “friendly” embassy. The spy was caught only when he got greedy and sent a similar email to the Russian embassy. Russian communications are monitored as a matter of course in all Western countries, so the German authorities put the spy under surveillance, and almost immediately they discovered that he was already selling his information to the Americans. What is clear from all this is that the American intelligence agencies are completely out of control. They are so powerful that even after the revelations of massive abuse in the past year very few politicians in Washington dare to support radical cuts in their budgets or the scope of their operations. They collect preposterous amounts of irrelevant information, alienating friends and allies and abusing the civil rights of their own citizens in the process. The German intelligence agency (there’s only one) doesn’t behave like that. It chooses its targets carefully, it operates within the law, and it doesn’t spy on allies. Why the big difference? It’s because the annual budget of the Bundesnachrichtendienst is just under $1 billion, and it employs only 6,000 people. The United States has only five times as many people as Germany, but its “intelligence community” includes seventeen agencies with a total budget of $80 billion dollars. There are 854,000 Americans with top-secret security clearances. The American intelligence community grew fat and prospered through four decades of Cold War and two more decades of the “War on Terror”. It is now so big, so rich, so powerful that it can do practically anything it wants. And often it does stuff just because it can, even if it’s totally counterproductive.

Travels and trials of late fatherhood By Bill Freeman Editorial - I’ve walked by the Simcoe Park wading pool in Niagara-on-the-Lake thousands of times during my life but have never really paid much attention to it other than enjoying the tree-filled serenity it offers in the maddeningly touristy centre of Canada’s prettiest town. That all changed last week during a family visit with our 17-month-old toddler adventurer who has declared herself fiercely interested in water and splashing. So there I was more than knee-deep in the Simcoe Park wading pool trying to catch water droplets exploding from the fountain and basking in another one of the joys of late parenthood. In a town noted for its theatrical moments this was as real as it can get, a middle-aged new dad splashing in a wading pool with a beautiful and bright gift whose incredibly impish smile makes you believe that sinister forces like Vladimir Putin, Isis, Boko Haram, Bashar al-Assad, Kim Jong-un and Hamas will melt into history along with the chaos of amorality they represent; that, of course, will not happen. I’m a comparatively new dad at a comparatively “mature” age. I like to think I have a bit in common with David Letterman, another greyish-haired guy who experienced fatherhood past the middle-aged mark and then had to deal with a major health crisis. Within the span of four months I watched my daughter being born then had a shocking life-threatening cardiac event that required quick-acting emergency surgical intervention and two ambulance trips to two different hospitals. That’s the kind of thing that puts the Toronto Maple Leafs’ Stanley Cup drought into perspective and makes you take a long and hard look at the world around you. Becoming a dad at an age that usually means grandparenthood has been a rather remarkable journey filled with anxieties, inexpressible and astonishing joyfulness and the epiphanies that infants deliver on a daily basis. I fretted and lost sleep over the perils medical science says accompany fatherhood at an older age. There’s a whole list of possible genetic disorders and potential health threats that a child born of an older father might experience. Older moms face their own daunting list which adds to the nervousness. So, I spent a fair bit of time thinking about those headline-grabbing health warnings. But the elation, wonderment, excitement and sense of anticipation far outweighed the fear and social “tut-tutting” that sometimes attach-

es itself to older parenthood. I was delighted that prenatal ultrasounds could not tell whether our child was to be a girl or a boy. I was relentlessly critical of stores that split their infant sections into pink and blue which makes shopping as predictable as your morning drive-through at Tims. I procrastinated on compiling a list of names but when I did I explored some rather eccentric Scottish possibilities. My boy’s list was much shorter than the girl’s list; in fact, I don’t think I had a clear number one choice at all for a boy. But that’s a moot point because our daughter’s name was a unanimous decision and doesn’t appear on any list of annual popular names. The General Register Office for Scotland has a remarkable database for children’s names and I amused myself many times by looking at the names of every child born in that country over the past few years. Prenatal classes were fun even though many of the parents-to-be were young enough to be my own kids. We were all bringing something unique to the table and the children yet-to-beborn were going to be lucky. I had lots to draw on having spent plenty of time around my sister’s children. I loved every minute of baby shopping, just as I did for my nieces and nephew. I’m quite as comfortable in children’s stores as I am in sports stores. Spoiling is something I’m good at and no amount of criticism will deter me. My daughter had the beginnings of a sizeable library before she was born and was regaled by stories from dad while she grew in the womb; that was a good thing because it gave me plenty of time to practice my Dr. Seuss performances, which often collapsed in a tangle of hilarious rhymes, vowels and ridiculousness. It also allowed me to discover that I will never be able to read Robert Munsch’s “Love You Forever” aloud without crying even if I could ever have reached the end. My daughter will be 18-months-old when this editorial is published. She quickly learned the word hockey, watched the start of the Boston Marathon when she was four-months-old, never leaves the house without wearing her hat, has a bath-time ritual with her dad that includes dunking several of her toys into the water, pronounces “Mama” like she was a doyen of Downton Abbey and absorbs information like a young scientist displaying a social curiosity that is astonishing. She’s our living angel and a teacher of life lessons to a middle-aged bloke who’s as happy as can be.

“I don’t want to see the province prematurely ... closing any more schools,” he said, because “it appears that we’re seeing a surge in births (that’s) significant,” which will boost enrolment numbers in later years. The resolution calling for an alliance is linked to an earlier one circulated a few months ago by Penetanguishene that called for a moratorium on school closures until the province completes an evaluation

of the ARC process. Area public school board trustee Shirley Patterson said her initial reaction to imposing a moratorium on school closures is that it “may very well be a good step forward” but it will require further research. “I’m not so certain that it’s the way to go,” she said, but banding together might be “the only way (municipalities) can make a dent in the thinking of the Ministry (of Education).” There is strength in numbers and the province would “no doubt have to listen,” Patterson said. She isn’t worried about Kent’s future but Hastings Public School, with an enrolment of about 100 students, “is a problem.” However, she shares the mayor’s belief that “we’re about to see” another baby boom and cites “amazing” growth in kindergarten enrolments throughout the area. Patterson blamed school closures in rural areas on a funding formula based on enrolment which she said needs to be “restructured” to take into account the differences between schools in large cities and those in small communities. She pointed out she’s been part of “a push” to refit rural schools so they can be used as training centres after-hours to prepare adults for new careers or to upgrade their skills to hang onto jobs. Asphodel-Norwood and HavelockBelmont-Methuen councils have also backed Penetanguishene’s resolution, which states education “is one of the largest assets that a municipality can provide to its residents in terms of offering quality of life and quality of community.”

News - Trent Hills – The municipality is prepared to join a province-wide alliance to challenge the process boards of education use to decide which schools should close. Council demonstrated its willingness by supporting a resolution being circulated by the Town of Penetanguishene urging small town and rural municipalities to join forces who face or have faced the possibility of a school closing.

The alliance would approach the provincial government to express its concerns with the accommodation review committees (ARC) that school boards employ. The town said, “there is (a) lack of public trust” in the process because school boards aren’t held accountable for recommendations made by the committees.

year, we plan on creating a “Fair Mural”, capturing the highlights of our fair. We encourage everyone to come and make their mark by adding their artistic flare to the mural,” said Petherick. A very popular event, the baby show, will be returning giving moms and dads the chance to see their little ones compete. From crafting where participants can create a party hat to celebrate the fair’s 160th to the Infant and Child CPR/Choking workshop with instructor Laurel Clark of Injury N’ CPR to a demonstration by the Trent Hills Martial Arts Club led by Sensei Mark Englehart to a RONA wood crafting workshop, it’s all there for the youngsters to enjoy. “We have many great opportunities for active participation for both parents and children in our Children’s Activity Centre so please take some time and check out our website www.campbellfordfair. ca,” Petherick concluded. The children’s activity centre is located in the arena at the fairgrounds, in the upstairs lounge. The fair takes place August 8, 9 and 10. The Children’s Activity Centre offers plenty of things to do for kids including playing with these farm toys at Old MacDonald’s farm. Aiden Vanderhorst, 3, of Norwood had a good time at the fair a couple of years ago. The centre will again be a happening place at the Campbellford Fair.

Schoolhouse Gardens wins award for best hybrid peony News - Warkworth - Passionate about peonies, the owners of Schoolhouse Gardens have won dozens and dozens of ribbons, but bringing home the Michael Denny trophy for the best hybrid peony in Canada is very special. “It’s about sharing a legacy,” said Dennis Gebhardt, who with his partner Tom Harris, have competed for years

PET

with their peonies at the regional Peony Festival held in Oshawa. This was the first time they submitted an entry to the Canadian Peony Society’s annual show and it was the first time the award has been presented. Lindsay D’Aoust an avid collector of peonies and hybridizer in Quebec asked the Society to create the award in memory of Denny, who lost his battle with

cancer last Christmas. “Before I retired I took an estate garden course and that is where I med Judi Denny, his wife,” said Harris, as he explained the saga of how the Early Bird peony they took to the show is connected to the Denny family and to a man, Wally Gilbert, of Elora, whose passion for peonies is being continued by others. “Judi started talking about peonies and that’s how I got introduced to the Canadian Peony Society,” Harris explained. Michael Denny was instrumental in starting the Society about 20 years ago. Until that time “everyone used to go to the one in the U.S.,” noted Harris. Before Denny died he told his wife to give his Early Bird peonies to Harris to cultiadoption fees are $75. for kittens and $50. for vate. cats which includes spay/neuter, first, vaccines, deworm and deflea. “The Early Bird was one of MiCCSNI is an all volunteer organization so chael’s favourites. donations are always appreciated.

Meet Snap, Crackle and Pop AND Lambert:

These four kittens are siblings and were rescued off the streets of Campbellford in a neighbourhood where feral cats are being spayed and neutered by Cat Care Spay Neuter Initiative. They have been socialized and are looking for their forever home. They are sweet and loving. Lambert is the lighter beige kitten. They all love to roll around and play and have their tummies rubbed. They are about 10 weeks old.

Since kitten season is here we need loving foster homes so we can rescue some of the helpless ones who are still out there and find them loving forever homes. Without foster homes we are unable to rescue and the cats and kittens will have to be returned to an undeserved life outside.

the same time. Gebhardt’s bloom won best in class and Harris’s won the Denny Trophy. In fact Gebhardt brought home a total of 19 ribbons from Oshawa and Harris won 18 at the national show in Winnipeg. As part of the legacy of the muchloved peony Denny helped preserve a collection owned by Wally Gilbert of Elora. “When Wally Gilbert died in 2000 Michael went and dug up the collection, with permission, and brought it to his farm with the promise that he would spread it across Canada,” Harris explained. “He also agreed to distribute the plants to public gardens.” One year later with a donation from the Denny estate peonies from the “Gilbert collection” were planted at the Oshawa Valley Botanical Gardens, where a peony festival is held annually.

Dangers of Heat Stress Heat stress needs to be taken seriously

R0012807980

Working in a hot environment puts stress on the body’s cooling system. When heat is combined with other stresses - like hard physical work, loss of fluids or fatigue - it may lead to heat-related illness, disability, or even death! The body is always generating heat and passing it on to the environment. The harder you work, the more heat your body has to lose. Heat leaves your body in several ways: • transfer from skin to air • evaporation, by perspiration • exhaling hot air • touching a cool object

Individuals over age 40 need to take extra care when the weather is hot, because our ability to sweat declines as we age. However, heat stress can also affect individuals who are young and fit. Water is crucial to helping the body adjust to high temperatures. The rate of water intake must equal the rate of water of water loss by perspiration to keep body temperature normal.

When it’s hot, drink plenty of water!

Your body must work even harder to get rid of excess heat when conditions are both hot and humid. Unfortunately perspiration can’t evaporate as readily under muggy

The Oshawa Valley Botanical Gardens Peony Garden has since been renamed the Michael and Judi Denny Peony Garden. “We’ve sent collections of peonies across Canada, in public gardens everywhere,” said Harris. Continuing the legacy Harris and Gebhardt also participate in the annual root sale held by the Society. “We donate roots and that’s how we help fund raise for the Society,” he explained. And the Gilbert collection lives on in their expansive gardens where they have more than 250 varieties of peonies. The Canadian Peony Society will continue to honour the memory and contributions of Michael Denny for years to come. The Denny Trophy will be displayed at Schoolhouse Gardens until next year’s show when “we hope to bring it home again,” said Harris.

conditions. The process is easier for the surrounding air is moving. That’s why we welcome a cool breeze, or turn on a fan when our air is “sticky”. Sickness and accident rates increase when heavy work is done in temperatures above 30 degrees. Don’t push yourself beyond your limits. It could be harmful to your health and could put you at increased risk of having an accident.

Call an ambulance immediately if heat stroke is suspected.

The victim’s life may be on the line. Until help arrives, move the victim to a cool area and remove excess clothing. Fan and spray them with cool water. Offer sips of water if the victim is conscious.

Heat wave guidelines

The following measures should help prevent the development of heat-related illnesses. 1. Slow down in hot weather. Your body’s temperature regulating system faces a much greater workload when temperature and humidity are high. 2. Heed early warnings of heat stress, such as headache, heavy perspiration, high pulse rate, and shallow breathing. Take a break immediately and get to a cooler location. Watch for heat stress signs among your co-workers. 3. Dress for hot weather. Lightweight, light coloured clothing reflects heat. 4. Drink plenty of water. Don’t let yourself “dry out”.

5. Increase your salt intake, preferably by adding salt to your food. (Consult your physician if you are on a saltrestricted diet). 6. Try to get used to warm weather gradually. Take it easy for those first two or three hot days. Your body will have a better chance to adjust if you take it slow. 7. Get out of the heat occasionally. Physical stress increases with time in hot weather. Take breaks in a cool, shady location. 8. Don’t try to get a suntan while you are working! It’s harder for your internal cooling system to work through sunburned skin. Wear a hat and long-sleeved shirt to prevent burning (which we know can increase the risk of skin cancer).

Hear ye, hear ye! Tom Kerr has been re-appointed town crier for the Municipality of Trent Hills, a position he has held since the municipality was formed through amalgamation in 2001. His remuneration was again set at $1,000 annually for the “significant role” he plays at celebrations, openings and the various community activities. “His presence has added a unique complement to many of the important formal gatherings in the community,” such as council inaugurations, parades, graduations, fairs, and other events, council said.

Norwood Legion celebrates its 75th anniversary amidst some challenging times By Sue Dickens

News – Norwood – Celebrating the Norwood Legion’s diamond anniversary, members gathered to hear words of reflection from the president and dignitaries. They spoke of the future of the Branch and the challenges being faced right now. “There’s strength and power in numbers and since its founding in 1926, the Royal Canadian Le-

gion is committed to those who have served in the Armed Forces and the RCMP,” said Doug Willoughby, president of Norwood Branch 300. “This afternoon we are celebrating the 75th anniversary of a small portion of that. Branch 300 Norwood was founded in 1939 and has continued to this day to be a living memorial of all our local veterans keeping alive the

memories of their contributions to our freedom and safety,” Willoughby added. In a simple ceremony on the outdoor patio of the Branch he spoke of the importance of the Legion as a service organization and talked of the “tireless efforts of its many volunteers and members over the years.” He also talked of the present day challenges.

Celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Norwood Legion Branch 300 with an official cutting of the cake are: from left, Zora Fisher, Legion member; Doug Willoughby, Branch 300 president; and Anne Carlow, Ladies Auxiliary member for 43 years (life member).

“More and more the community service function of this legion is being overshadowed by the expenses of heating, cooling, maintaining this old building and yet it is this building which provides the Norwood Legion Branch 300 celebrated its 75th anniversary recently with a ceremony followed by cake and refreshments: venue for our Sunday night from left, Asphodel-Norwood Mayor Doug Pearcy; Branch President Doug Willoughby; MPP Peterborough, Jeff Leal; and Depu- bingos, our karaokes, our ty District F Commander Robert “Buck” Buchanan. wing nights, a meeting room for the various groups like Photos: Sue Dickens the IODE, Norwood Historical Society, public speaking events, the museum upstairs and of course the club room which provides comradeship and refreshments to our members and our friends,” he said. He acknowledged as well the efforts of the Legion’s auxiliary. “Our ladies auxiliary has also worked tirelessly towards keeping the Legion alive and active in this community . . .

I have seen it go up and down through many turmoils and changes in administration, these things happen, but it always bounces back and I look forward to bouncing back again,” he said. “So to the membership and the ladies auxiliary keep up the good work we are looking at better days ahead.” Everyone celebrated with anniversary cake.

They have certainly given us a lot of support.” Next year the auxiliary will be celebrating their 60th anniversary. “Will Branch 300 still have its charter on its 100th anniversary in the year 2039? “ he asked. “It’s all in the hands of its present and future members who have to work with the same dedication and commitment as those members of our 75 years past.” Jeff Leal, MPP Peterborough was on hand to present a certificate in honour of the 75th anniversary. “This is a significant occasion on your 75th birthday,” he said.

Pros: • In a Buyer’s Market such as ours, Open Houses give maximum exposure to the house and can be yet another opportunity to market a home for sale; • Open Houses allow potential Buyers to get a real feeling about a house that online pictures cannot. Cons: • Open houses may attract “tire kickers” who are not serious about buying, as well as those who simply like to view houses; • You will spend time cleaning and preparing your home for weekend viewings. Open Houses are frequently part of a Realtor’s marketing strategy and should go hand in hand with pricing a home correctly right from the beginning.

New business in Norwood offering psychological counselling therapy services

Business – Norwood – A local psychotherapist has opened a business at the Norwood Holistic Health Centre and is offering counselling services. Emmanuelle Festas-Keogh of Hastings, a counsellor therapist, is now providing psychological counselling therapy services. “I have experience working at Trent University as their counsellor providing psychological counselling to students for many years,” she told the Trent Hills Independent. Now she wants to offer her services here, reaching out to the rural communities of Trent Hills and area. “What I want to service are the rural areas and I am excited about that,” she explained. “It was the option for me to set up practice in Peterborough but I didn’t feel excited about that,” she added. As a holistic practitioner she believes her services will be in demand. “Rural areas are lacking in the kind of services I am offering,” she noted. And since she is hanging her shingle in a rural area, she realizes she can’t expect to be recompensed the same as if she were in a big city. “I am very much aware people in rural areas have more modest means

so my fee is $70 per hour and I offer reduced fees for people with fewer financial resources,” she explained. Her services include helping people with any issues they may be struggling with from depression to anxiety. “For some people it is a mental health issue for others it could be due to some difficult life transition or a traumatic experience in life they haven’t quite learned to live with yet,” she commented. Grief and trauma can result in depression and anxiety, she explained. And people don’t need to be suffering from a “serious” condition to see her. “It doesn’t have to be serious to come to me, maybe you are seeking someone to talk to when you are feeling unhappy,” she noted. Family and friends may have the best of intentions offering their help but she believes often it is better to talk to someone else. “A huge part of it is just to have a person who listens without judging, who provides a supportive environment. Often what happens when you struggle is it makes you feel really isolated. The mere fact of having a human being to talk to with a non-judging ear, someone that will offer you a different and refreshing perspective is what is

Single-day registration for Summer Discovery camps now offered News - Peterborough - For 27 years, the Peterborough Museum Archives has been a leader in providing enriching, innovative camp experiences for kids. Their formula for success? Recruit some pretty amazing instructors, host all camps in a safe, enriching atmosphere, and offer the pricing and flexibility that parents appreciate. The award-winning Summer Discovery program just got a whole lot more flexible. Like most camps throughout the city and county, Summer Discovery has, until now, only offered registration by the week. However, kids aged seven to 11 can now register for camp by the day ($30).

Correction

It was the Norwood Lioness Club, not the Norwood Lions that presented $700 to the St. Paul Catholic Elementary School playground campaign. Making the presentation was Lioness Club president Carol Oliver.

This year, the museum piloted a new camp called Wildcard Wednesdays which allows kids to sign up for a single day of camp. The immediate success of this camp, combined with overwhelmingly positive feedback from parents, has prompted the museum to open up single-day registration for

most of its remaining camps. Single day registration is now open for the following camps: July 21-25, Time Bandits with Dave Cox; Aug 5-8, Artful Animals with Rebecca Reynolds; Aug 11-15, Creature Camp with Dave Cox and Aug 18-22, Experience Science with Roger Reynolds.

Wildcard Wednesdays will continue to be an option for kids and Kinderkidz camps, ages four to six, will continue to be offered by the half day. To register, or for more information, call 705-743-5180 or visit the museum’s website at www.peterboroughmuseumandarchives.ca.

Festas-Keogh has lived in Hastings for the past 25 years, where she has raised her three children. She will be working at the centre which is owned by Tony Tavares who offers massage, acupuncture and traditional Chinese herbal medicines.

with her artwork. Glenis Buchanan, whose acrylic painting of a girl at the beach hung nearby on an outdoor gazebo set up to showcase their work said, “I went a little larger this year. And I am doing a lot of surreal stuff too.� Malonie’s husband Carl built the gazebo for the occasion. “My husband is very handy, he helps us so much,� she said. Barb Sullivan, another artist in the group, admitted she has “done a little less this past year . . . but when she sits down to paint she “likes to do acrylics and flowers�. For the hostess it’s about dabbling in a bit of everything. “But my favourite medium is oil,� she said. Welcoming guests to her home for the annual get together is her next favourite thing to do. Greeting everyone that day was a striking painting of a cougar which she did this winter. “I saw it in a calendar . . . I never really know what I am going to paint. I just wing it,� she added with a big grin. But her favourite thing of all is to be hostess to her group of seven artists. “I love the people I do my art with and we all like to say hey look at what I’m doing. It’s an accomplishment for us and we like to show it to each other,� she said. “We know each other so very well now . . . we just gelled as a group.� They get together every Monday morning.

Entertainment – Campbellford – Whether it’s numerology or Bible scripture the number 7 has a distinctive meaning for many and for the Wingfield 7 it is no different. This “group of seven� artists has been getting together for seven years now at the home of Bev Malonie, on Wingfield Road, to celebrate their works of art and the results of their creative inspirations. Malonie started the group of likeminded artisans and their friendship and art have grown together. Some use oils, some acrylics, others pencil and crayon. Their annual celebration which they call “art in the garden� said Fay Strang, one of the first artists to join the group, “is mainly for fun.� Each has seen changes in their artwork over the years. “I do sketches but now I am starting to paint a little bit. By choice I like to do figures and I’d really like to do portraits however I am still struggling with that,� she said. “For me it’s now about bringing more colour to my art,� she added. “I was concentrating on doing some fashion which is quite different which we don’t have among us,� said Valerie Christmas, who talked about her flare for art and fashion. “I like drawing gowns and doing certain styles of dresses . . . and I enjoy that,� she commented. “I am also doing some watercolour.� Artist Nellie Van Dyk said, “I do dogs and tigers and now I am doing more colour too.� She enjoys creating cards embellished

Ladies’ Gala scores big at the Campbellford Lawn Bowling Club Sports – Campbellford – Sixteen ladies’ teams descended on the Campbellford Lawn Bowling Club last week to participate in the Ladies’ Gala. “This is one of the most popular tournaments of the year,” said Joan Brown, longtime club member. The male members of the club met the teams in the parking lot, grabbed their bags and carried them through the gate to the green. “So began a day of pampering and indulgence because at this tournament the men served the ladies,” she explained. Players came from clubs as far away as Oshawa and Kingston. But the tradition of each team member coming from the same club is not what makes news at the Ladies’ Gala.

The tradition at the Gala that makes news is old friends coming together to enjoy being spoiled by the male membership. So it was no surprise that the top prize and winners of this year’s Gala was a team comprised of members for various clubs - Donna McLeese from Belleville’s club, Eden Orme from the Kingston club and Sandra Douglas from Campbellford. After the first game roast beef dinner was served in the clubhouse by the men. “Server Carl Dorge was a hit with everyone dressed in a white shirt, an oversized black bow tie and a French maid’s apron,” said Brown. The pampering continued between the second and final game with servings of ice cream and cake. “The men appeared to have as much fun as the ladies, perhaps because they

knew they were appreciated,” Brown commented. And there were plenty of winners that day. The second three-game winner was a team skipped by Pat Gemmell (Madoc) with Elva Wilson and Jackie Bedard. High two-game winners were Iris Sager (Belleville) with Mina Fraser and Jean Colwill. High one-game winners

were Maria Lennon (Trenton) with Joy Cameron and Faye Davis. The Gala was sponsored by MacLaren I.D.A. Pharmacy and the Campbellford Wine Shop. Was the day a success? It must have been . . . 14 of 16 spots for next year’s Gala were pre-booked even before the men escorted the ladies to their cars and all headed home.

Bantam Cougars book ticket to Canadian championship By Bill Freeman

R0012748784

By Sue Dickens

Sports - Campbellford – The Campbellford Ontario Power Generation Bantam Cougars will be Ontario’s top seed at the Canadian fastball championships in Fredericton, New Brunswick after they went undefeated at the OASA elimination tourney in Toanche, near Midland. It was an impressive performance by the defending OASA champions who doubled up Kitchener-Waterloo 8 - 4 in the final of the prestigious tournament. With the Toanche triumph, Campbellford will be the Ontario #1 team next month in New Brunswick. The national championship tourney will be hosted by the Fredericton Twins Fastpitch Association Pitch and runs from August 6 to 10 at Prospect Street Park. To cap the excitement, Cougars pitcher Ben Broek received the Gil Read trophy for pitching excellence. Broek was dominant on the mound winning all four games and turning in two dazzling one-hitters including a brilliant 15 strikeout, 1 - 0 win in Campbellford’s opener against Wellesley that stretched out to eight innings. Broek also fanned 15 batters in a one-hit 10 - 1 mercy win over Kitchener-Waterloo in their third game. In the championship, Broek yielded six hits and sent down 11 batters. Campbellford also knocked off Port Perry 4 - 2 in a tidy four hit, 15 strikeout performance by Broek. The Cougars will host the OASA provincial championship tourney in Stirling and Campbellford during the August 1 holiday weekend with teams from across Ontario vying for the crown. Campbellford are the defending OASA champs winning the 2013 title with an entirely first-year team. Along with the host Cougars, the tournament will feature teams from Port Perry, Cobourg, Napanee, New Hamburg, Owen Sound, Caledonia, Cambridge, Chepstow, Wellesley and Kitchener-Waterloo.

Family Fun Day at the Early Years Centre News - Campbellford – Rotary Hall in Kennedy Park was abuzz with the happy sounds of children laughing and playing last week as the Campbellford OYEC (Ontario Early Years Centre) held its second annual Family Fun Day. About 40 children accompanied by adults showed up for the free event to celebrate the start of summer with a range of activities that included games, crafts, songs, a parachute circle, and face painting. There were also snacks and a public health nurse from the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit, which co-hosted the Fun Day, on hand to give tips about summer safety, health and nutrition, as well as answer questions about child development. “This turnout is fabulous, this is probably the most families I’ve seen in Campbellford in a very long time,” said Sam Kelly, OEYC educational resources coordinator. “Sometimes the centres (throughout the county) can be a little quieter (this time of year) because families are travelling, on vacation, spending time outdoors doing other things.” Summer Fun Day is an opportunity to bring them together for something “out of the ordinary to do.” Some programs offered at the centre require registration but for many others, all you have to do is show up. “That’s the great thing about a drop-in program, they don’t have to commit to something but they know it’s always here if they want it and they need it, “ Kelly said. “We’re lucky to have this facility in the community,” where young mothers and their children can interact, said Cathy Beamish, who brings

her four-year-old grandson, Trent Campbell, to the centre once a week “so he can socialize with other children his own age. He’s

learned lots of things. They do crafts, they play games, they have stories. It’s fun. He looks forward to it every Tuesday.”

Kelli Ellis and seven-month-old daughter Carly Ellis shared a few quiet moments during the hubbub of Family Fun Day. Olivia Kirkland had her face painted by Brooke Seymour during Family Fun Day July 15.

Toby and Katie Hazlitt got a kick out of playing with the trains during Family Fun Day July 15.

5th Annual Bridge Hospice Charity Golf tournament deemed a success

By Sue Dickens

Sports – Warkworth – The 5th annual Bridge Hospice Charity Golf tournament was deemed a success by organizers as 72 golfers participated in this fund-raising event. Held at the Pine Ridge Golf and Country Club, which was among the many sponsors who donated prizes for the raffles and silent auction as well as the tournament itself, the day long event wrapped up with about 120 people attending the dinner. The winning team of golfers included Norm Toyne, Nancy Dean, Rick Dean and Steve Westlake. The second winning team of golfers in this four-person scramble best ball event included Bob Rowe, Lois Wood-Rowe, Jeff Atcheson and Graham Gorgerat. “We couldn’t have asked for better weather for golfing and everyone had a great time for a good cause,” said Sharon Garrod, fund-raising and marketing/ communication assistant for The Bridge Hospice. “The committee hopes to reach its goal of $10,000,” she added at press time.

All proceeds from the golf tournament benefit The Bridge Hospice in support of the ongoing provision of residential hospice palliative care. The Bridge Hospice, the only residential hospice in Northumberland County, provides compassionate end-of-life care “in a warm home-like environment”. Volunteers raised the funds and built the Hospice officially opening November 2012. The Hospice is staffed and operated by a board of directors, volunteer caregivers and supported by an interdisciplinary team of professionals “who are passionate about providing the highest standard of hospice palliative care”. Care in the Hospice is free of charge and provides support for the family as well as the resident. There is no government funding. For more information go to: www.thebridgehospice.com The winning team of golfers at the 5th Annual Bridge Hospice Charity Golf tournament, shown with Dr. Bob Henderson, board chair (second from right), includes: from left, Norm Toyne, Nancy Dean, Rick Dean and Steve Westlake.

Sisterhood of skaters roll into Norwood for a roller derby, a first for the village

Tonya McColl-Smith, of Hastings, who has been roller skating for about one year, was among the derby participants at the black and white scrimmage in Norwood last Sunday. She talked about the “sisterhood” of teammates on the track. Photo: Sue Dickens

more advanced skaters,” she explained. A derby skater for the past year this mom does it “just for fun”. The derby in Norwood saw about 35 skaters roller into town to compete for their space on the indoor rink. Skaters were there from not only the local area including Campbellford and Hastings, but from Belleville, Peterborough and Kingston. For McColl-Smith it was a chance to do something for herself. “It’s something for just me as a mom and as a woman and you can be athletic,” she commented. It’s also about the camaraderie. “You are never going to find another group of women that are so diverse but support each other so much. These are your sisters out there on the track,” she said before heading to put on her skates. Holly Rogers, co-founder of Belleville Roller Derby joined the skaters with her teammates. Described as “a recreational sports activity that promotes female athleticism and teamwork,” on their website, the girls have chosen names other than their own, again “just for fun”. Rogers is Milfhouse, while teammate Violet Sheehan chose Vivacious and Amanda Downey’s derby name is Gingi Vitis. Each has their own take on why they decided to join the derby group. “I started in 2010 and it was like my divorce therapy,”

said Rogers laughing. “You get your frustrations out,” agreed Vivacious and Gingi Vitis said she joined “for anger management.” And they all agree it is all a lot of fun. Rogers is also a referee and was there in Norwood, Roller derby skaters descended on the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre in Norwood last Sunday for the roller derby scrimmage. Photo: Sue Dickens “to keep everyone safe.” The Peterborough Roller Derby League is a grassroots, member-run, sports league. Their objective as stated on their website is to make roller derby more available and active in the Peterborough community. Reaching out to other skaters is also part of the sisterhood. As a sport, Roller Derby promotes fitness, coordination, strategy and cooperation. “As a team, we support acceptance, empowerment and confidence in our players and other members.” The derby in Norwood, called a black and white scrimmage, was a first for the village. MVP skaters selected the day of the scrimmage were: Amanda ‘Gingi Vitis’ Downey (Belleville Roller Derby - MVP BlockerBlack); Melissa ‘BeatBoxx McRoxx’ Vince (Durham Region Roller Derby - MVP Blocker-White); Sherri ‘Pip Tatters’ Owen (Peterborough Roller Derby - MVP JammerWhite); and Sarah ‘Iggy Pop-her’ Hart (Peterborough Roller Derby - MVP JammerBlack).

Sports – Norwood – Full contact, fast action, big hits describes the roller derby scrimmage that was held at the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre in Norwood last Sunday. “Peterborough Roller Derby League is hosting it so we’ve invited all kinds of skaters from all over the place to come in and skate,” said Tonya McCollSmith of Hastings. “The first event is called “fresh meat” for skaters who have just passed their test.

Algonquinte Scouts may have set new Guinness world record By Brett Mann

News - Thomasburg – This year’s camp experience of the Algonquinte Scouts will be an especially memorable one. Organizers decided to mark the 28th Flat Rock Rapids camp at Vanderwater Conservation area with an attempt to break a Guinness world record. The attempt appears to have succeeded. Ten scouts from the Algonquinte area, which ex-

Paul Deryaw, curator of the Belleville Scout and Guide Museum, displays a collection of badges and insignia at the Algonquinte camp at Flat Rock Rapids.

Algonquinte Scouts work rapidly and carefully in their attempt to set up a four-man tent in record time.

tends from Algonquin Park to Lake Ontario and from Colborne to Napanee, were able to erect a four-man tent in one minute and fifty-eight seconds, beating the existing record of two minutes and seven seconds. Pending official recognition of the results, public relations and special event co-ordinator Nick Fry issued this statement: “A world record attempt was made. We believe we have broken the existing record but we are awaiting confirmation from Guinness.” He hopes to have official confirmation within four to eight weeks. The annual camping event drew about 100 Scouts, boys and girls, ranging in age from 11 to 18 years. Fry notes the Algonquinte area “is a large geographical area within the White Pines Council.” The camp “started in a small way with local leaders and it’s just carried on over the years. The concept of the camp was that it was a way to end the scouting year with a fun and relaxed camp.” Although the camp involves learning experiences “the focus is to get kids enthusiastic about coming back in the fall. It’s always been in

the same area, in Vanderwater Park. We are the only group that’s allowed to camp in that particular area,” says Fry. Other camp activities include archery, axe-throwing, canoeing, running and swimming events, an iron man competition and a “potato cannon” target range. Mr. Fry adds, “this camp is very laid back. We adapt to suit the conditions, the enthusiasm for the activities and the weather.” The ten-person team spent the day rehearsing their moves in a tightly choreographed exercise in tent setup. Each member was assigned and practiced a specific sequence of moves involving tent pegs, guide extension poles and cords. Timing stops only when all ten team members are inside the erected tent with all the flies done up, a touch on the crowded side. Belleville attorney Patrick Hurley BA., LLB., and a representative of the Quinte Conservation Authority served as qualified time keepers and official witnesses. Competition rules state that “any standard, commercially Please see “New” on page B2

available 4 man tent may be used, pop up tents are not permitted.” Mr. Fry notes that not every year’s camp features an event like the Guinness competition, although “they always have a ‘leaders’ event. Most of them end up with the leaders in the water or making idiots of themselves. It’s fun for them.” Fry observes that he doesn’t try to hold a special event every year because it becomes repetitive. The occasional nature of these special events results in

more media coverage and public attention he believes. An earlier project for the centenary of the War of 1812 saw the scouts build a replica sailboat from that era, reports Mr. Fry. “We sailed it around in Victoria Harbour and had a battle with troops on the land.” The event attracted wide media attention, but was a “one shot deal,” Mr. Fry remarks, noting that there is more public interest “when you do have something special.” It is likely that many Algonquinte Scouts will remember this year’s camp as “something special.”

Ten proud Scouts from the Algonquinte camp at Vanderwater Conservation Area stand in front of a four-man tent they have just set up in under two minutes, possibly a new world record.

Fourth annual Party for Peck fund-raiser set for Aug. 2 R0012790534

By John Campbell

Events - Trent Hills – Party for Peck returns for its fourth year next week, giving people plenty of good reasons to head outdoors: to enjoy “some real kick-ass music” and raise money for the Blues in the Schools program, “but most of all to remember Jesse,” says his mother, Jane Archer. Her son, whose nickname was ‘Peck’, was a popular musician whose life was cut short at age 26 when he was shot to death in 2010. The music festival is held in his honour each year in a private field at 588 Thomson Rd. Seven bands are scheduled to play on Aug. 2, including Jane Archer’s own

band, Balls and Jane. The music begins at 3 p.m. with New Speak. The featured group, Lindsay Barr Band, closes out the live entertainment at 10 p.m., to be followed by a DJ at 11:15 p.m. The other acts are The Lohrwoods, My Last Nerve, the Peggy Voigt Band, and Muddy Hack. New this year is a jam session at 5 p.m. with Archer and musicians Daniel Joseph (aka Sugarlips), Grainne Ryan, Arin Jessup and new band Early Frost Warning. The gates open at noon. Admission is $10. Camping is free. A new layout will provide an area for the parking of Please see “Party” on page B3

Marmora’s de Jong sisters to perform at fair’s talent showcase

trailers and vehicles at the top of a hill. The event, which usually draws 300 people, raised about $2,400 for Blues in the Schools, which the Loyal Blues Fellowship has been offering to area schools since 2005. “It’s pretty good stuff,” Archer said. The program features sessions led by Canadian blues musicians who talk to the students about how the musical style was born in the American South and grew in popularity. One year, students in Trent Hills were given harmonicas and taught how to play them. More recently, local students were instructed in the writing of songs which they performed in front of an assembly at the end of the week. “It was very impressive, the kids all had a blast, and they learned a heckuva lot, not just about the music but the history and the social conditions, and discrimination,” Archer said.

“These young ladies, ranging from 19 down to seven years of age, perform in festivals, talent shows and have delighted audiences at numerous special events. They hope to charm and entertain you with a show that is one of a kind,” said Joy Petherick, past president of the Campbellford Seymour Agricultural Society. The fair is celebrating its 160th anniversary this year with the theme “Hats Off to 160 Years.” The de Jong sisters will be performing The de Jong sisters have been performing for about five years but this will be the first time they will at noon on Saturday, August 9, at the tal- be on stage at a local fair.

Party for Peck

After a while the sisters “just started playing and started to get asked to play more and more places.” For the girls music is a chance to express themselves. “I think music is just such an expression of character … life is just full of music,” commented de Jong. And music is also a lot of fun for the girls. “When you pluck the strings it is called pizzicato so we like to call ourselves the pizzicato pirates,” said de Jong with a chuckle. “When you turn the violin upside down it kind of looks like the shape of a skull and the chin could be the eye patch. With bows crossed it looks like a skull and crossbones,” she explained with a grin.

Entertainment - Campbellford - “To make music is a beautiful thing and doing it as a family is even more amazing. It gives you a sense of accomplishment to see other people enjoy your music. “ Those are the words of Holly de Jong, 19, the eldest of eight sisters from Marmora who have become well-known for their musical abilities and performances. They will be headlining at the Campbellford Fair’s talent show case, kicking off the event with their own brand of entertainment. Recipients of the 2013 Orma Tipper Arts Award in Music and/or Drama, the sisters have been performing for about five years. “This will be their first fair performance,” said their mom, Debbie de Jong. “They’ve done local community events though in the past,” she noted. Their start in music began when they wondered what to do with money they earned one summer picking strawberries. “The first year we grew our strawberries and made money we asked what are we going to do with the money? Why don’t we buy violins and take lessons,” said de Jong. It’s was that simple. Friends of the family were taking violin lessons from Gabriella Hamley, a music teacher in Marmora so that inspired them to pursue the idea. “When we started there were six sisters and they were all pretty good. They learned classical … it teaches them the techniques so everything else becomes easier to play,” commented their mom.

Out of Africa and back in Trenton

Before his exodus, Mike had worked as a wedding a portrait photographer, and had snapped some shots for the Trentonian during his high school years. But it was in Africa that he took his passion to another level. “On school breaks, I went out to explore the game parks,” he said. “And I became captivated at capturing images Air of some of nature’s Conditioning most majestic wildlife.” Many of

News - Trenton – For 15 years, Mike Gaudaur lived a stone’s throw away from Hell’s Gate, after the Trenton native decided to move his young family to Kenya to teach at a school for children of missionaries and aid workers.

which could have easily made a midday snack out of him, of course. Now that he’s finally back from Africa, Mike was eager to showcase his artistic photographic creations, along with fourteen other talented artists at the Arts Quinte West event held this past Friday at Trenton’s Festival on the Bay. The artists set up their displays along the riverfront walk, behind the restaurants along Front Street, as part of the three-day event. Mike was eager to share his adventures as he stealthily

his driveway. He noticed a baboon was rummaging through stale donuts in his trash – leftovers from a school fundraiser. As they noticed each other, the baboon raced past with a bag of donuts, as Mike hoofed it to his car trying not to spill his coffee. “We both kind of gave each other space,” he remembered with a chuckle. “Baboons can kill a leopard, you know?” However, animals were actually the least of his safety concerns. “Terrorists are the bigger issue,” he said. “What’s happening right now is terrorists are going out in helicopters with machine guns and chainsaws, finding herds of elephants, mowing them down, and cutting off their tusks,” he explained. “Then they sell the ivory to China and the Far East and use that money to buy bombs and fund terrorist activities. That’s the real threat out there.” Mike remembered when the U.S. consulate in Nairobi was blown up by terrorists, using 400-500 cylinders of TNT, in 1998. “My family and I were right there in downtown Nairobi when it happened.” Luckily, the Gaudaur family lived an hour away from such madness. Their family home, which they shared with 18 male students, sat on the edge of the Rift Valley, overlooking two volcanoes that sat two thousand feet below. Mike would sometimes spend hours camped out on a ridge in Hell’s Gate National Park waiting for the perfect photographic opportunity. Despite the threat of leopards and buffalos, he’d never travel with any weapons. “Leopards are pretty aloof,” he said. “You’d be lucky to see one,” he continued, perhaps unaware of the irony of his own words. More often than not, though, Mike would find himself laying inside a specially customized vehicle, with its sides cut out - which allowed photographers the opportunity to get Mike Gaudaur with one of his photographs from Africa. Photo: David Gibb low to the ground and capture the animals at their own level. “That makes all the difference,” said Mike, who rarely used more than a 70-200mm lens.

emerged from between his framed portraits of lions, elephants and giraffes – all proudly showcased on lattice-style wooden panels. The rustic presentation made it seem as though he had managed to bring a little piece of Africa back home with him. His daughter was only three, and his son six years old, when he and his wife pulled up stakes in 1998 to move to the Dark Continent, trading their military neighbours for monkeys and baboons. Mike himself was only 35 at the time, and eager to teach photography, graphic design, and web design to eleven- and twelve-year-old boys from 21 different countries. The school itself was over a hundred years old and had been founded in order to offer a traditional Western-style education to international families living abroad. Currently over 500 students are enrolled there, with a staff of about 200. However, despite being surrounded by vast wilderness and some of the world’s most predatory beasts, Mike always felt that his extended family was very safe. “It was like a little pocket of North America stuck right there in the rural canyon,” he said. “We looked out for the community, and they looked out for us. That really made it a safe place to be.” “There was excellent security, no malaria where we were, and we had excellent water, a source of electricity, Internet…everything,” said Mike. But, unfortunately, he wasn’t able to control his unruly neighbours. “Baboons were in our trash almost every day,” he said, shaking his head. One day, Mike was on his way to work, carrying his morning coffee down

SERSON, Kenneth Eugene On Wednesday July 16, 2014 in his 77th year K. Eugene Serson peacefully went to be with His Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Eugene was the beloved husband and best friend for 46 years of Winnifred Joan (née McCracken), devoted father of Brent and his wife Jennifer and loving and proud grandfather of Daniel, Hannah and Katelyn. Firstborn to Grace (née Dougal) and Kenneth Serson (deceased) in Seeley’s Bay in 1937, Eugene was an older brother to Robert, Gwyn (deceased), Norman (deceased), Jimmy (deceased), Terry, Bert, Tom and Brenda. He was a dearly loved brother-in-law and a wonderful uncle to many nieces and nephews. Eugene spent most of his youth in eastern Ontario working on family farms and at a variety of different jobs. After surviving 2 open-heart surgeries in his midlife, he spent the remainder of his working years driving taxi in Kingston where he enjoyed meeting and helping people. Since 2005 Eugene and his wife Joan have enjoyed living their retirement years in Brighton by the Bay. Eugene was a man with a strong faith in God and a genuine love for people. He found great joy volunteering with the Salvation Army kettles, helping out at church and at Youth for Christ in Kingston and preparing Christmas shoeboxes for Samaritans Purse. Eugene had a love for learning and reading about world history, watching old black and white westerns and collecting model cars. He was a lifelong Montreal Canadiens supporter and an avid fan of Don Messer’s fiddling. He will be remembered for his deep love for his family (especially his 3 grandchildren), his generous servant-heart and his fun-loving sense of humour. Today we grieve his loss, yet we thank God for the gift of having had him in our lives. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him. Friends and family will be received at the Brighton Funeral Home, 130 Main Street, Brighton on Sunday, July 20th from 1 to 3 and 6 to 8 p.m. Service will be held at the Fellowship Christian Reform Church, Brighton on Monday, July 21st, 2014 at 2 o’clock. Interment at the Cataraqui Cemetery, Kingston on Tuesday, July 22nd at 11 o’clock. Donations to the Salvation Army or Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child in Eugene’s memory would be appreciated by the family. www.rushnellfamilyservices.com CL443127

NEW & USED APPLIANCES Native American Poem for

Adam Lee Sheepskin Reddom I give you this one thought to keep, I am with you still, I do not sleep, I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain, When you awaken in the mornings’ hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not think of me as gone – I am with you still, in each new dawn. – author unknown – Passed away July 26, 1996 Love, Mom, Dad, Patti, Charlie, Wendy and family.

The City of Quinte West will commence construction of the planned municipal marina at the end of July 2014. The City received approval of an environmental assessment for the project on March 26th, 2014, and subsequent permits and approvals for in-water construction works have been completed. The proposed marina, located at Bayshore Park, adjacent to City Hall will include 380 boat slips for both seasonal and transient use and will provide new public waterfront access. The construction of the marina will require the dredging of the area occupied by the marina to an elevation of 72.2 metres; the construction of shoreline protection; the installation of floating breakwater and floating docks. On land development for the proposed marina will include the construction of an access road, parking lot and marina building; the upgrading of electrical and water services; realignment of existing soccer field and the construction of a waterfront trail. The marina is being constructed to be operational for the 2015 boating season. The dredging operation and shoreline reconstruction will commence at the end of July 2014, and will last for approximately 10 weeks, until the end of September, 2014. Onland works including the construction of the marina building is scheduled to commence in early September. During the construction period, residents are requested to observe the security of the construction area, marked by construction fencing. Public access to portions of the waterfront will be prohibited during the construction period. Haulage routes will also be in effect during the period of the dredging operation, and details can be obtained from the contacts below.

TRAVEL

Celebrating Yosemite’s 150th anniversary

By John M. Smith

learned that there were a great variety of accommodations in the park, including both camping and lodging, but that reservations were certainly necessary during the busy summer season. Lisa said that the park is a little less frantic and crowded at other times of the year and that both the fall and spring seasons had special charm. I would especially recommend the springtime for waterfalls aficionados, for snowmelt would lead to the best time to see the waterfalls in their prime and the autumn would, of course, be the opportune time to witness the stunning display of fall colours. A visit to Yosemite should also include its South Entrance, where I explored its Mariposa

Lifestyles - It was on June 30, 1864 that President Abraham Lincoln signed the Yosemite Grant, the first instance of park land being set aside specifically for public use and preservation for all time. This important event of 150 years ago is now being celebrated via a number of special events, for it can be said that this inspired the National Parks Movement in the U.S.A. Although Yosemite was not officially designated as a National Park until 1890, making Yellowstone the nation’s first National Park in 1872, the signing of that Yosemite Grant certainly paved the way for future parks. I had visited Yosemite National Park about 30 years ago, and I was very excited to get the opportunity to return there this summer during the anniversary celebrations. So I found myself once again enjoying the spectacular views to be found in the park’s most popular area, the Yosemite Valley. I even partook in a two-hour open-air tram tour of the valley floor with Park Ranger Kimberley. After all, the crowds of visitors are encouraged to simply park and take a free shuttle or a tour at a cost to the main attractions found here. These include such spectacular granite monoliths In Mariposa Grove with its giant sequoias. as Half Dome and El Capitan, both very popular with rock climbers, such magnificent waterfalls as the Bridalveil Falls, Vernal Falls, and Yosemite Falls, and such incredible outlook points as COACH & TOURS those found at Valley View and Tunnel View. Although the Yosemite Valley can be very crowded, after all the magnificent park attracts close to four million visitors annually, it’s still possible to escape EXPERIENCE THE ROAD TO the throngs of visitors via backcountry EXCELLENCE hiking trails for the park offers over 800 Toronto Blue Jays vs NY Yankees - Sunday, Aug 31/14 miles of them. One can simply join the Stratford Festival - “Crazy for You” - September 9-10/14 crowds on some of the most popular, St. Jacobs - Saturday, September 13/14 short trails such as I found at the Int’l Plowing Match - Wednesday, September 17/14 Lower Yosemite Falls Trail, Bridalveil Agawa Canyon, Mackinac & Frankenmuth - Sept 24-29/14 Falls Trail, and the Vernal Falls Trail. Credit Valley Explorer - Wednesday, October 1/14 Music, Trains & Baseball - October 5-9/14 These hikes should not be missed and, Algonquin Park - Thursday, October 9/14 of course, there’s a variety of other Smoky Mountains - Music, Mansions & Moonshine - October 19-25/14 activities available in this park, including Kurios-Cirque du Soleil - Wednesday, October 22/14 horse and mule trail rides and bicycle Wicked - Wednesday, October 22/14 paths with bicycle rentals available. One Christmas Time in Branson - November 22-29/14 Black Friday Shopping - November 27-29/14 of my favourite activities was simply Festival of Lights - Niagara Falls - December 7-9/14 watching the rock climbers on the park’s Donnie & Marie Christmas Show - Saturday, December 13/14 towering cliffs. Many adventurers come Call us for your group transportation needs. We offer the most to Yosemite to climb these challenging modern and diversified fleet in the area and along the 401 corridor. rocky precipices and it’s even possible Our goal is to offer SUPERIOR SERVICE at an OPTIMAL PRICE! for amateurs to get a permit to ascend, 613-966-7000 or Toll Free 1-800-267-2183 via cables, to the summit of Half Dome. www.franklintours.com The more challenging climb, up El TICO Reg1156996 Capitan, involves camping out on the

Grove, with its giant sequoias and its Pioneer Yosemite History Centre with its display of stagecoaches and pioneerera buildings. From this particular park entrance, I’d also recommend driving on the nearby Glacier Point Road, which leads to a spectacular view high above the Yosemite Valley. And any visit to this park should also lead you away from this most popular Yosemite Valley area, too, for the Tioga Road which is closed in winter will take you up into the High Country of the Sierras and offer you a whole new park perspective. This area of the park is at a much higher elevation and it’s far less crowded. I’d recommend a visit to Tuolumne Grove (another grove of sequoias), Olmstead Point with its magnificent view into Tenaya Canyon, and Tuolumnee Meadows with its awesome wildflowers. You’ll find solitude up there. As I listened to the quiet murmurings of a babbling brook, I was reminded of former naturalist John Muir’s words (he was very involved with the Yosemite Grant of 1864 – and has a park trail named after him), for he talked about listening to snow melting into music. What a peaceful, melodious sound in a spectacular park setting. For More Information: www. yosemite.national-park.com; www.

granite cliff itself, for it takes more than a day to ascend, and I found that it was worth the price of admission just to watch these daredevils doing their thing! While in the Yosemite Valley, I also visited Yosemite Village with its Visitor Centre and Theatre, Museum, and its Ansel Adams Gallery. While there, I saw a film that gave me a nice overview of this park, an anniversary tribute on display, a collection of park photos through the years in the Ansel Adams Gallery, and an informative history of the park in the museum.

Laverne, a lifelong resident of Prince Edward County, was celebrating a remarkable milestone as he travelled with FRANKLIN to Bingemans Showplace Dinner Theatre in Kitchener to enjoy a day of superlative company, food and entertainment. A loyal patron of FRANKLIN Tours since 1988, Laverne was taking his 100th tour with the local company, established by Franklin and Doris Smith in 1951. It was a wonderful opportunity for the current “Franklin Smith family” owners, Craig and June Smith, to recognize Laverne’s unwavering loyalty over the past twenty-six years and to make the day a memorable one for Laverne; for his travelling companion, Rose Smith; for his son, Lanny, who just happens to drive for FRANKLIN Coach Lines and who was behind the wheel for the event; for his daughter-in-law, Carolynne Hegadorn, who, also, just happened to be on the passenger list that day and for the rest of the passengers who were more than pleased to participate in the celebration. June Smith, on behalf of the FRANKLIN organization, assisted by Monica Reid and Carol Reynolds, FRANKLIN Tours’ tour experts, presented a scroll plaque to Laverne in recognition of, and appreciation for, such unprecedented loyalty in these times of intense competition in the world of business. He also received a Company Gift Certificate to be used at a future date toward an upcoming excursion of his choice. Bingemans Showplace Theatre even joined in the celebration as they provided an enormous cake, in recognition of Laverne’s loyalty, for the FRANKLIN group to enjoy. Craig and June Smith and the Franklin staff extend sincere best wishes to Laverne as he anticipates future travel and continues to enjoy the many benefits of highway coach transportation and tours!

Talent show at Campbellford fair is open to all ages By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - The talent show will once again provide an opportunity for young people to play a musical instrument, sing or dance their way into the hearts of the audience expected at this year’s Campbellford Fair. “About five years ago we came up with the idea of a talent show,” said Susanne Osterlee, who is organizing the event. “It started out as a children’s talent Once again the talent show, organized by Susanne Osterlee (l), at the Campbellford Fair will feature local and out-of-town performers. One of the young performers who has been on the stage many show and is now open to anyone, for times is Trystan Mitchell, who will be performing again, this time with his grandmother, June local talent and out of town folks,” she added. Seaborn. Pat Kelleher, right, will again host the talent show. Photo: Eva Osterlee Osterlee admits tåo have a soft spot “for the little ones.” “I think people really enjoy the little kids. We love to get the little kids up there, they are so cute. Everybody loves to watch them,” she said. The event is for all ages and there’s a history of some awe-inspiring talent on the stage which keeps the crowds coming back each year.

For Osterlee it’s something she enjoys doing for the fair. “I enjoy doing this because I like to see the kids light up the stage and the parents’ faces lighting up when they see their kids perform. It’s just really exciting for me,” she said. Local musician and music teacher Pat Kelleher will be hosting the event, something he does each year just because he too enjoys seeing the performers get up on stage. “I like hosting the event … I feel it’s very important for people of all ages, especially kids to get up on a stage and perform as it builds confidence, gives them a sense of accomplishment, and really helps with their public speaking skills,” he told The Trent Hills Independent. “I’ve enjoyed watching people of all ages get more comfortable performing as their skills and ability have improved over the years,” he added. This folk rock player/performer has a few songs being played on the radio and his music can also be found on iTunes and the CD Baby online music store. This will be a special summer for Kelleher as he will be celebrating teaching guitar full-time in Trent Hills for ten years. Actually 13-year-old Trystan Mitchell, of Campbellford, who is one of his

students, will be performing again. He has participated in the talent show for many years. He was given a guitar when he was eight years old and hasn’t looked back. “I play guitar and sing,” he said. Mitchell admitted that it can be challenging to perform in front of an audience. “It’s kind of nerve-racking at first when you get on the stage but once you get up there you do what you’re doing and it all comes naturally from there,” he said. This year his grandmother, June Seaborn, 76, will be singing with him. Performing at fairs has become something of a tradition for him now as he participates in the shows at the fairs in Norwood and Warkworth. His advice to youngsters considering the talent show is: “Get up there, try it and if you don’t have fun do it again, you will eventually … Make a name for yourself.” The talent show takes place on Saturday, August 9 with a kickoff by the deJong sisters from Marmora at noon. “If you can sing, dance, play an instrument, recite a poem, do tricks, or have a unique original talent, we want you to join in our fun,” said Osterlee. To register contact Osterlee at 705653-1744.

Third annual Poker Run making waves in Bay of Quinte By Stephen Petrick

News - Belleville - A mix of lighting quick powerboats and personal watercrafts are expected to make some waves on the Bay of Quinte on Saturday, July 26. The water body will be the sight of a Power Boating Rendezvous/Poker Run and a weekend full of activities is scheduled around the event, which has boaters travel to five different spots along the bay. A Poker Run is a game of chance played by boaters. Participants must travel to five different spots, where they pick up a playing card. The boater with the best poker hand based on the five cards they collected wins the event. It’s a fun activity for boaters, because the winner isn’t determined by speed. From a tourism standpoint, poker runs are also valued because they encourage visitors to travel around to sights they may not otherwise visit. The event is sponsored by Bay of Quinte Tourism, with hopes that the boaters who visit will enjoy a weekend in the region, eat-

ing at local restaurants or shopping at local stores. The host organization is Power Boating Canada, and Mark Booker, the man co-ordinating the event, says it’s called a Power Boating Rendezvous/Poker Run because it’s being offered to two classes of boaters. Poker Runs are typically only for fast power boats. But this event is also open to smaller, family oriented watercraft. He says, between the two classes, at least 50 boats are expected to participate, but late registrants could push the number up to 60 or 70. His goal is to make the Bay of Quinte event, one of the biggest power boating events in North America. “We want to make this as big or bigger [than] the Kingston Poker Run,” he said. Booker encourages spectators to watch the boats along the shores of the region. The boaters leave from Meyers Pier in Belleville at 10 a.m. Saturday. Their course takes them to the waters off Quinte West, Picton and De-

seronto before arriving back at Meyers Pier around mid-afternoon. Activities will also take place at Jane Forrester Park, right by Meyers Pier, in downtown Belleville, before and after the run. Participants will have their boats on display for spectators to check out, as early as Friday night. A large power boating show will also take place in the park, starting at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday. Spectators will be able to watch the poker run through a “speed zone” theatre, Booker said. The boats will continue to be on display on Sunday. Throughout the weekend, the public will also have a chance to ride on a power boat for a fee of $300, the proceeds from which will go to the Belleville General Hospital Foundation, Booker said. He encourages people interested in the opportunity to pre-register for a ride, by calling 1-800-354-9145 ext. 252. They can also register for a ride through the web site www.pokerrunsamerica.com.

Festival on the Bay a highlight of summer

Quinte West Youth Centre were busy promoting their upcoming zombie apocalypse, Quinte Zombie Zone, at the Festival on the Bay on Saturday. (L to R: Leigh Ann Clifford, Michael Turner, Hannah Scriver, and Tabitha Golden). By David Gibb

Entertainment - Trenton – For the fifth consecutive year, downtown Trenton was transformed into a bustling, pedestrian-friendly activity and entertainment area, as shoppers and fun-seekers converged on Dundas Street West to mark this year’s Festival on the Bay, which launched on Thursday. The street, which was blocked to traffic from Front Street to Division Street for the three-day event, was taken over by dozens of vendors selling everything from sunglasses and antiques to t-shirts and DVDs. Buskers, musicians, carnival-type activities, face painters, clowns, and of course plenty of food trucks, also decorated the landscape. In fact, no matter what your dietary vice, it could be found here. Everything from cotton candy and candy apples to ribbon fries and popcorn filled the air – and the hands and mouths of those wandering the streets in search of weekend adventure. And, to make sure you weren’t underfed, pancake breakKaden Dunlop, 8, of Stirling, races past his com- fasts were held each morning by the petition, Caydence Dubreuil, 5, of Belleville, on main stage to get the party rolling.

kids. He promised Riana Nepin, 9, of Smithfield, a pretty flower, but as she avidly awaited her special creation, the long balloon burst loudly, startling her and her brother, Tristin, 8, into a backward spin. “That’s the first one I’ve burst today,” mused Billy the Clown, rather sheepishly. Artists converged on the riverbank behind the restaurants lining Front Street on Friday, to display their creations and talk about their passions. Sponsored by Arts Quinte West, 15 local artisans took part in this eclectic event. Meanwhile, the Air Cadet Band proudly paraded nearby, their tunes resonating throughout the entire Festival area. While there were plenty of vendors selling clothing, books, comics and games, there were some that were slightly more unusual. The Quinte West Youth Centre, for example, was on hand to busily promote their second annual Quinte Zombie Zone adventure run to be held on August 16 in Batawa. Registrants will struggle to complete 5K and 10K runs while evading zombies who will try their best to prevent contestants from finishing the race. Tabitha Golden, an event organizer, called it, “a lot of fun… and great exercise too!” Non-stop musical entertainment took place on the downtown stage as hundreds of shoppers took advantage of all the sidewalk sales surrounding them. Local bands and performers switched off throughout the event, but the streets were never quiet for long. Scenic cruises along the Bay were offered on Friday, with a sightseeing cruise in the afternoon, and a more party-style, and culinary experience in the evening. Hosted by the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce, the evening cruise on board the Island Queen paddlewheeler included wine tasting (courtesy of Sandbanks Estate Winery) and cheese and dessert samplings, along with live entertainment by Cold Creek County. A majestic fireworks display, sponsored by Mystical Distributing of Trenton and using over $50,000 worth of colourful explosives, lit up the skies over the Bay for more than twenty minutes on Friday night – while spectators watched from lawn chairs,

boats and nearby rooftops. The following day, over at the climbing wall, Caydence Dubreuil, 5, of Belleville, was busy trying to keep atop of her impromptu competitor, Kaden Dunlop, 8, of Stirling. However, as the elder boy managed to race past her, Caydence was heard whispering to her mom, “I think I’d like to come down now.” The Trenton Big Band Festival also coincided with this year’s Festival on the Bay. The Commodores’ Orchestra and the Dan Bone Trio kicked off the Big Band Festival on Saturday night at the Riverfront Square. Although the festival officially ended that night,

the Big Band concert was scheduled to continue on Sunday afternoon at Centennial Park, featuring Swing Shift Big Band, Ragweed Jazz Band, and the Brian Barlow Big Band with Barbra Lica. Trenton’s Festival on the Bay managed to cram a lot into a relatively short time, and did so quite successfully. There’s little doubt that it’ll be one of Quinte West’s summer highlights of 2014. Tristin Nerpin, 8, and his sister Riana, 9, watch intently as Picton’s Billy the Clown twists them a balloon creation at the Festival on the Bay in downtown Trenton on Friday.

News - Quinte West – A contract amendment worth more than $32.5 million will ensure that training on the Hercules CC130J simulators at CFB Trenton will be top notch over the next 20 years. James Bezan, parliamentary secretary for the Minister of National Defence Rob Nicholson, made the announcement Monday at the Air Mobility Training Centre accompanied by local MPs Rick Norlock and Daryl Kramp. “This is the hub of air mobility in Canada,” he said. “It is the tactical aircraft lifeline for the Canadian Armed Forces.” He said the CC 130-J Hercules is the mainstay of the Canadian fleet, around the globe and at home. It provides airlift to places like the Phillipines after a typhoon and to Alert and northern security missions. “We need the best training available,” Bezan said. The $32.5 contract amendment from CAE Inc. Montreal will deliver training environment enhancements, including training simulators and courseware to CFB Trenton. The original contract was for $650 millon. “The upgrades are part of the overall upgrade plan for the CC-130J fleet, ensuring Canada’s men and women in uniform are equipped with the skills and training they require to remain among the best in the world,” he said. During the last eight years the government of Canada has made a concerted effort to moderinize the RCAF’s air transport fleet, successfully delivering four C-17 strategic lift aircraft, 17 C-130-J tactical transport as well as 15 Chinook F-model heavy lift helicopters. The Hercules-J are based at CFB Trenton, with training delivered by 426 Squadron using the training devices and courseware developed and built by CAE Inc. Project manager Colonel Raymond Cook said the upgrades will ensure the fleets remain viable and serviceable, operating efficiently for five to seven years. Mike Greeley, vice president of CAE Inc. said this is another success story for the company which is a world leader with 8,000 employees world-wide and the Air Force its biggest customer. He said the upgrades will focus on alignment of the aircraft with the latest technology.
