News - Hastings - Perfect weather, a flotilla of classic boats and a south shore filled with displays, art and music drew record crowds to the seventh annual Hastings Waterfront Festival over the weekend. The three-day program had something for everyone including the heralded return of the Trent Severn Antique and Classic Boat Association and their lovingly restored vessels and a second night of musical entertainment. “It’s lovely to see the waterfront spring to life like this,� festival chair Erin Farley said as she surveyed the property around the Hastings Village Marina. “It just speaks out for something like this.� Last year’s festival drew over 5,000 people and Farley said the 2013 edition drew “even more.� The addition of a Saturday night concert featuring the Blackboard Blues Band boosted those numbers. The Friday night opening show with the Blackfly Band and Freddy Vette and the Flames, a busy beer garden and food booth, kicked off the festival. Farley and the small volunteer festival committee were pleased to have the boats back; last year the association took part in the “hundred mile cruise� that celebrated the historic Muskoka Lakes Navigation Company’s fabled cruises from Gravenhurst to Little Lake Joe. “It’s wonderful; it makes sense, you need some boats,� said Farley. Twenty-three boats from the TSCABA were docked at the marina for visitors to look at. “It’s a good spot,� Association past president Randy Kerr of Belleville (far right) talks to Tom O’Neill of Marmora and Ray Northrup of Trenton about the 54-year-old five horsepower Scott-Atwater Jim Watt said. “bail-a-matic� boat motor that was part of the Antique Outboard Motor Club’s (Maple Leaf Chapter) display at the seventh annual Hastings Waterfront Please see “Boat� on page 4 Festival.

News - Trent Hills - The municipality has agreed to purchase the property of its most PEACE-OF-MIND MAINTENCE SERVICE vocal critic in the controversy over where a new bridge is to be built in Campbellford.

move on,� Mayor Hector Macmillan said. “I have no choice. I’ve got to sell; I want to get on with my life,� Townsend said. The process to determine where the new bridge is to be built has dragged on for years, “and I’m tired of paying out on a house I can’t sell.� His house is the only one earmarked for demolition should Northumberland County decide a new river crossing connecting Second and Alma streets, as was initially recommended in a consultants’ study and approved by Trent Hills four years ago. However, the county balked at that option and suspended the environmental assessment, that had begun, in order to look
0
at alternative solutions. A subsequent study by another consulting firm recommended the existing structure be replaced by a wider span with turning lanes at each end. A decision is expected before the end of the year. Townsend said later in an email that he “really didn’t have much choice� in choosing to sell now because he believes the resumed EA is “going to be stalled� for some time, keeping him in limbo. “All the information from the current study should be completely obsolete twenty years from now and maybe the realization will sink in with the voter on how much money was wasted.�
CAO Mike Rutter made clear in a news release that the purchase “does not represent a pre-determined outcome of the Trent River Crossing and Arterial Road Network Environmental Assessment� currently under way.  “The property will be kept in our municipal inventory as we await the outcome of the assessment,� he stated. “We will lease it in the short term, and it will be re-sold if it is not required for future municipal purposes.� Macmillan said Townsend “could have had this settled a long time ago� had he asked for less at the outset.
