Belleville – It was wet, wild and had wow power. The 5k Foam Fest came to Belleville Saturday and it provided visitors to Zwick’s Island Park a spectacle never before seen in the city. Thousands of people came to complete the mega-fun five-kilometre obstacle course which allowed participants to complete daring jumps, plunge down soaring water slides and, of course, run through gobs of bubbly white foam. People, literally came by the bus full. There was no public parking on either side of Zwick’s so shuttle buses ferried people in from the fairgrounds. No one seemed to mind paying prices ranging from the early bird rate of $42 to the gate price of $85 to participate. Many runners came as part of teams wearing wild uniforms. Almost all raised their hands in triumph and bathed in bubbles as they crossed the finish line. “It’s pretty cold,” said Mike Smith, of Belleville upon crossing the finish line. “It’s pretty muddy,” added his friend, Leah Kendall. “We’re just here to have a good time.

Participants cross the finish line of the 5k Foam Fest in Belleville. A third person in the group, Hannah Britt, said “we’re going again.” The 5km Foam Fest is put on by a private company called 365 Sports. It’s a travelling show that has toured across Canada for four years. Saturday marked it’s first ever stop in Belleville and Jacob Nelson, the course director for 365 Sports, said it seemed to be successful. He said about 5,000 people had signed up for the Belleville event and

He agreed that the event does well with the millennial demographic and social media helps promote the event. The event is a photographer’s dream – with all the colour and emotion – so Foam Fest photos tend to circulate around Facebook. The event is open to anyone age 8 and up and Nelson said the most sig-

Deputy Chief: Belleville Police Service understaffed BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – The Belleville Police Service is understaffed by about 16 per cent compared to provincial norms; a fact that must change if it’s to meet the community expectations to keep people safe, says its deputy chief. “We’re at a critical point,” said Deputy Chief Mike Callaghan (who’s the acting chief this week with Ron Gignac on vacation). “We need to increase our staffing.” Callaghan and Gignac are preparing a report for the Belleville Police Service Board’s September meeting to address the shortage. Currently, the BPS has 88 sworn members. The Ontario average rate for a city of 50,000 people is 96 officers, Callaghan said. He added he doesn’t want to unveil the service’s proposal to the board ahead of the meeting, but admitted that he and Gignac are aware that “money doesn’t grow on trees” and intend to propose a solution that’s “fiscally responsible.” The police force hopes to examine its own departments and see if savings can be made in some areas to devote more to hiring new officers. “We feel we can leverage some opportunities. At some point in time, if we’ve exhausted those avenues, we may have to seek support of the police service board and city council,” Callaghan said. The staff shortage, he said, has grown over time due to injuries, resignations and one long-term suspension. The problem now is that, as the staff shortage grows more significant, police become more consumed with investigative work and “you end up having fewer people on the front line,” Callaghan said. “It’s a pretty significant impact on the organization.”
Callaghan said the nature of police work has grown more complex over time. Callaghan, a long-time police officer in Ottawa before moving to Belleville recently, said early in his career, if working a night shift, he would process three or four impaired driving charges a night. Now the work involved in issuing one impaired driving charge could take up to 10 hours, due to the paperwork involved. And yet while there’s more expectations on police to document charges, there’s also more expectations on police to be on the street, keeping the community safe, he said. A 2015 community survey Belleville Police conducted found that the number one thing Belleville residents want to see is an increased focus on pedestrian and vehicle safety, he said. The BPS hopes to address that with the hiring of a crime analyst, who would do “intelligence-led policing,” Callaghan said. The position would be about “utilizing statistics – stats can draw a road map where there’s a propensity for crime to happen, at a specific time at a specific location,” he said. But the police service and the city may have to get creative to make sure this – and other new hires – are possible. “We want to ensure that, number one, our approach to the staffing crises is a multi-phased approach, but it’s also one that is ensuring an effective and efficient service delivery model,” Callaghan said. “And that we are good stewards of the resources that the community, as well as the police services board, have provided us. “The primary concern is supporting the members of our community. We want to ensure, at the end of the day, that Belleville is the safest community in Ontario.”
Two charged after drug raid Quinte West - Provincial police staged a drug raid in Trenton and arrested two men in the process. On Monday July 24, members of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Street Crime Unit, Emergency Response Team (ERT), Canine Unit and Belleville Police Service Drug Unit, charged two men from the AjaxNewmarket area for offences under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Jonathan Lewis, 25, of Ajax, and Kurtis Mallette, 21, of Newmarket, were arrested in the Belleville shortly
after they fled on foot from police. Officers located and seized approximately $5,000 worth of drugs, Canadian currency and offence related items. Both accused are charged with several counts including possession of cannabis resin, cocaine and marijuana, possession for trafficking and possession of property obtained by crime. Lewis was additionally charged with one count of breaching probation. Both were held in custody pending a bail hearing at the Ontario Court of Justice, Belleville.

Donations sought for Good Backpack-Stuff the Bus campaign BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – The first day of school is around the corner and Quinte-area residents are encouraged to make donations to the Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation’s Good Backpack Program-Stuff the Bus campaign. Monetary donations and donations of school supplies can be made at the Staples store on Bell Boulevard, through the summer. The donations will be used to provide backpacks, full of school supplies, to both elementary and secondary students across the region, who are in need. This program was once an annual event run by the local United Way chapter, which held an annual Stuff the Bus event, in which a bus travelled to community businesses on a designated day during the summer to collect donations of supplies. The program was handed over to the Learning Foundation, the charitable arm of the public school board, last year. This year will mark the first time
the Learning Foundation is conducting the program on its own (both the United Way and Learning Foundation were involved in last year’s campaign). The travelling bus aspect of the program has been put to rest and now the “Stuff the Bus” slogan is more symbolic. But a Parkhurst Transportation bus was brought to Staples on July 11, nonetheless, to officially kick off the new campaign and the get the public interested in making donations. Learning Foundation director Maribeth deSnoo said the Foundation expects to have about 1,000 to 1,200 backpack requests, but whether all those requests are fulfilled will depend on donations. “We’ll have as many to give out as we can raise funds for,” she said. The Foundation has expanded the program to secondary school students because secondary school-aged students represent 52 per cent of its requests for funding. In each secondary school backpack organizers hope to provide two binders, pencils and
pens, a ruler, lined paper, dividers, a lunch bag and water bottle. The program was handed from the United Way to the Learning Foundation because people with both organizations agreed that it was in line with the type of program the Foundation offers. It also now makes for less administration work. Parents no longer have to register through the United Way to receive a backpack for their child. The backpacks are now handed out by staff at schools in a quiet and confidential manner. Staples, meanwhile, continues to be a long-time partner in the project. Manager Cindy Martindale said the store’s been involved for about eight years now and she hopes customers will help raise about $3,000 in cash, which would offset the cost of backpacks, the greatest expense. “It’s nice to know (students) are getting supplies, and getting everything they need,” she said.

Band wows Market Square party for Rotary Loves Kids BY JACK EVANS
Belleville – Almost like an afterglow to the Belleville Rotary Club’s annual charity fundraising golf tourney, the club’s Market Square Street Party last Friday drew hundreds of people to dine, dance, drink and party for almost four hours straight. A former Bellevillian, Spencer Evans, brought his three-piece combo comprised of his son, Oscar, 18, his drummer, Ron Hacket, and himself on keyboard, clarinet and vocals and quickly got the crowd up dancing from tots to teenagers to seniors for Dancers of all ages were at Market Square Party Frian evening of good community fun. day evening.

Prior to the party, the club had arranged for a caterer for a meal of barbecued chicken, pulled pork and salads. There was also a tent of silent auction items donated by various local business firms, which closed off during the night with some lucky buyers. The street party plus the golf tourney a few days earlier have become one of the mayor fundraising events of the year for the local club, raising thousands of dollars for local charity projects and agencies.

Annual Rotary Loves Kids golf tournament raises $100,000 BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – Members of Rotary Club of Belleville really do love kids. The annual Rotary Loves Kids Golf Tournament achieved its $100,000 fundraising goal for 2017. More than 200 golfers who hit the links at Trillium Ridge and Black Bear on Friday, July 29 made it happen. Additional funds were raised through the Party in the Square event at Market Square later in the night. The tournament has raised more than $1 million for children’s charities in its 14-year history. Traditional beneficiaries have included an Easter Seals camp near Perth, child-related projects at Belleville General Hospital and The Children’s Foundation, the charitable arm of the Highland Shores Children’s Aid Society. Funds for The Children’s Foundation have typically been directed to the Reach for Success Bursary Program, which provides funds for children in CAS care to access post-secondary education.

OPINION
When mayors behave badly
Poland: The road to autocracy If you are wondering why the European Union is “very close” to stripping Poland of its voting rights in the EU’s Council of Ministers (the closest thing the EU has to a government), the answer lies in something that the foreign minister, Gwynne Dyer Polish Witold Waszczykowski, told the German newspaper Bild recently. The government he serves “only wants to cure our country of a few illnesses,” the foreign minister explained. Diseases like “a new mixture of cultures and races, a world made up of cyclists and vegetarians, who only use renewable energy and who battle all signs of religion.” The true Poland that Waszczykowski claims to represent, by contrast, values “tradition, historical awareness, love of country, faith in God and normal family life between a woman and a man.” It is “real Poles” (conservative, Catholic and super-patriotic) against the manifold evils foisted on the country by ill-intentioned foreigners and the corrupt Poles whose loyalty they have bought. In this struggle, it is right and necessary that the government run by real Poles (the Law and Justice Party) takes control of the media, the courts, the civil service and all the other institutions that might hamper its crusade to cleanse the nation of secret Communists and liberal traitors. And the EU’s objections to all this just prove that it is part of the plot against Poland. Just because you are paranoid, it doesn’t mean that you don’t have enemies, and Poland has had many in the past. In the 18th century Germany, Russia and Austria carved Poland up and shared it out among themselves. In the 20th century Hitler’s Germany and the Soviet Union did it again. After the Second World War the Poles live for 44 years under Communist rule imposed by the victorious Russians. And every time the foreigners found local Poles to do their bidding. But it’s the 21st Century now, and Poland is a free, united and democratic country without any real foreign enemies. Well, okay, maybe Russia could turn into a threat, but Poland’s NATO membership takes care of that. And yet Poland’s national identity is still wrapped up in notions of martydom (“the Christ of the Nations”) and fears of foreign conspiracies. Paranoia and self-pity dominate the nation-

alist discourse in Poland – and now the nationalists are in power. The Law and Justice Party won the presidency and an absolute majority in Parliament in the elections in late 2015, although it only won 37 percent of the vote. And it is changing the law in ways that threaten not just the independence of the courts, but democracy itself. As soon as it won office twenty months ago, it turned the state-owned broadcaster, previously politically neutral, into the propaganda arm of the ruling party. It also destroyed the independence of the civil service, replacing the professionals with its own party loyalists. But it was when it turned on the courts that it really got into trouble with the EU. The EU is probably the only reason that the former Communist-ruled states of Eastern Europe almost all became democracies. They had little historical experience of democracy, but they desperately wanted to be members of the EU as a safeguard against renewed Russian interference in their affairs – and the EU insists that all its members be democratic Not only that, but it carefully defines how democratic states should behave, and a basic principle is the separation of powers: the courts must not be under government control. So when the Law and Justice Party introduced laws letting it fire judges it doesn’t like (including, potentially, the entire Supreme Court) and choose the new judges who take their place, it ran into the EU’s rules for membership. That’s why the EU is now close to stripping Poland of its voting rights until it restores the independence of the courts. If that doesn’t work, it could resort to financial measures as well. Poland is by far the biggest beneficiary of transfers from the EU budget to poorer member countries: in the budgetary period 20142020, it is scheduled to get $96 billion. Some or all of that money might stop coming if it were no longer a member in good standing. Nor can the Polish government plausibly threaten to quit the European Union: 75 percent of Poles see EU membership as a vital counter-balance to the looming presence of Russia to their east. The EU holds all the best cards in this game, if it chooses to play them. But will it? That is not clear. The EU is not famous for its willingness to take bold action, and it would have to overcome the opposition of Hungary, another ex-Communist EU member that also displays authoritarian tendencies. But the throngs of protesters in the streets of Polish cities deserve its support, and its own cohesion will suffer if it does not defend its fundamental values.

Editorial by Stephen Petrick A few weeks have passed since one of the most salacious stories of the year broke in our region; that Belleville Mayor Taso Christopher was found by a judge to have breached the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act. Now that emotions have died down, let’s analyze what it means. Municipal politics is more often than not as exciting as watching paint dry, so it seemed dramatic when Christopher, at the end of a recent council meeting, announced he had been “cleared” of charges under the act. He later told reporters “the ruling is in my favour.” Yet the ruling, delivered by Justice Timothy Ray in Kingston, didn’t exactly say it was “in his favour.” The judge acknowledged Christopher breached the act but it was as a result of an “error in judgement” and therefore he should not have to forfeit his seat. So Gary Davidson, the Taso-baiting local realtor who brought the application to court, didn’t turn out to be a winner in this either, as he wanted to see the mayor ousted. You’ve heard the term “win-win” situation. This seemed liked a “lose-lose.” What does this mean for Christopher? We won’t know until October 2018 municipal election (that is, should he decide to run again – he’s never spoken publicly about re-election intentions.) But, Christopher may have caused more damage to his reputation from the spin he put on the ruling than the very actions which brought him to court – at least that’s the feeling I get from following comments on social media and right from locals’ mouths. Davidson brought Christopher to court over his actions at an October 2016 budget meeting at which Christopher declared a conflict of interest when council debated whether to build a roundabout on Maitland Drive. The city would have to purchase land Christopher’s family owned at the time to build the roundabout. However, when it came time to vote on the issue the mayor did not remove himself and contributed to a successful 7-2 vote in favour of the project. So did Christopher do this simply to put our taxpayer money in his pocket? You’d have to be paranoid to think so. The roundabout is one aspect of a $12.5 million Build Belleville infrastructure project focusing
on the Mineral Road/Maitland Drive area – a heavy commercial and industrial area that’s seen growth in recent years. It’s not a heavily scrutinized project, because what taxpayer is going to oppose the city improving heavilytravelled roads? Also, one could also argue that Christopher’s endorsement of the project was a moot point anyway. Had he declined to vote, it still would have passed by a 6-2 count. However, being successful in politics has perhaps as much to do as how you’re perceived in public than the results you achieve. So the fact that Christopher hasn’t offered an “ah-shucksI-screwed-up” apology, may come to haunt him during election season. Or it may not. As another mayor in this region proves, it’s possible to steer away from much bigger controversies. Brighton Mayor Mark Walas is continuously under attack from a fraction of his community, who believe the third-term mayor performs the role as much to serve his business interests as a subdivision developer as the community itself. In May, Walas appealed a decision his own council made with the Ontario Municipal Board. It was regarding council’s disapproval for a sewer system for the Lakeside Landing subdivision he’s associated with. “I’m troubled by the fact that we have the mayor of Brighton issuing suit against the people of Brighton,” said Coun. Brian Ostrander at the time, summarizing the bad optics. In Walas’s previous term, his council was also subject to an Ontario Integrity Commissioner investigation, which led to a damning report, in which the commissioner flagged Walas for trying to fire the Chief Administrative Officer. The council term was also plagued by stories regarding employees feeling micro-managed and municipal email accounts being used inappropriately. Yet, despite the drama, Walas was successful in his bid for re-election in 2014, beating Mike Vandertoorn 3,143 to 2,229 in votes. What does this mean? The political world is full of drama and mayors will have opponents, who justifiably or not, want you gone. But the majority of voters see through the drama and accept that mayors are imperfect humans with personal interests, just like many of us. Either that, or they’re too busy to care.

Belleville man hopes garden railway hobby will pick up steam BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – Don’t call Barry Birkett’s backyard passion a “model train set.” It’s more accurately a “operating railway,” he explains. “People can actually operate the trains.” Really, the only technical difference between this railway and the ones hauling freight for CN is the cars are small enough to fit his backyard. It’s 1-to-29 scale system, he said, but the cars move from station to station at the engineer’s command. Users of the system are even encouraged to follow safety regulations. The system, in the backyard of his west-end Belleville home, has a 500-foot main line and about 1,200 feet of track in total. He says it’s one of the largest operating garden railways in North America and he’s proud to show it off. He’s getting ready to host an “Invasion of Friends” on Wednesday, Aug. 23. The event is expected to attract garden railway enthusiasts from across Ontario and even the United States. “We will have eight trains operat-
ing on the mainline, plus two yardmasters, each operating with a twoperson crew, meaning that up to 20 people can be active at any given time,” he said. “With train orders for two trains in the morning, and another two in the afternoon, everyone will get lots of opportunities to run a train.” While Birkett is well known to garden railway enthusiasts elsewhere, he hopes to raise awareness of the hobby in the Belleville area. He hopes to get the Belleville Invasion to become an annual event and he even hopes his railway will become a local tourist attraction. “It’s a really great fraternity,” he said of those involved in the hobby. “But it’s very small. I’m hoping to change that.” He typically runs the trains on Tuesdays and Saturdays and invites other enthusiasts over to give it a try. It’s ideal for people ages 12 and up, he said. While it may seem complicated at first, it’s simple for anyone with a passion and desire to learn the system. Birkett moved to Belleville upon his retirement as an electrical engineer with the Canadian Coast Guard and worked hard to trans-

Belleville gets green light to test electric bus Belleville – Belleville residents may have noted an unfamiliar bus circulating throughout the city recently, with the tag line “The Official Sponsor of Mother Nature” emblazoned on the side.
The City has been given the bus as a demo for a week’s time by a manufacturer, as part of an effort to research and discuss electric bus options. The bus is 100 percent electric with zero emissions.
“This model is one of several we are looking at from different companies,” said Coun. Egerton Boyce in a statement. “The progress being made in these areas is huge and it’s exciting to be finding options which are efficient, economical and environmentally positive. Saving residents money and respecting our environment – it’s a win-win for everyone.” The bus takes approximately two hours to charge. Once fully charged it can travel for approximately 300 kilometres. “It’s important to look ahead and determine actions the vity can take now which will help to align us with progressive plans we need to implement, perhaps not today, but within the next few years,” added Coun Jack Miller, who chair’s the city’s transit committee.
Manager and Planner of Transit Services Matt Coffey encouraged the Belleville Transit drivers to test drive the bus and provide feedback on their experience. “Within the next ten years it is conceivable that legislation will require zero emission buses to replace our current fleets,” he said. “We are gaining a clearer understanding of the product features ¬and the charging dock facilities required to make this transition. We want our transit system to be on the leading edge of this progressive green technology.” The City of Belleville isn’t the only local institution Fledderus to give electric ve- HaroldC.A.I.B.

Work at Amer Sports could soon take a time out; work stoppage likely by Aug. 11 Belleville – Workers at a Belleville distribution centre for a major sporting goods company may soon be in a work stoppage. Workers from Belleville’s Amer Sports plant have recently voted overwhelmingly in favour of taking strike action, says a press release from their union. The 37 workers from Workers United Canada Council Local 1821 held a strike vote on July 20, and voted 90 per cent in favour in rejecting a new contract offer. The vote sets the stage for them to be in a legal-strike position on Friday, Aug. 11. Yet, on the same day, they could be locked out by their employer, as well. The release says that workers from the Belleville distribution centre have been without a contract since June 30. While many of the contract issues have been resolved, the two parties have reached an impasse in re-

Nothing “ham-ish” about hams in the Belleville Amateur Radio Club BY JACK EVANS
Belleville – Dah-dit-dah-dit (Morse code C), dah-dah-dit-dah (here comes the queen, Morse code Q.) If you listen to some radio bands, you will hear those two letters repeated frequently. They are internationally recognized by ham radio operators as a signal that they are interested in chatting with someone, literally, anyone. Officially called “amateur radio operators,” there is nothing “hamish” about hams. They are almost in a category of quasi-professional. Some, in fact, may well be full professionals with their knowledge and training in radio and how it works. To be a real “ham” you must have a licence and be aware of and accept codes of radio procedure policies. Ham radio has been around ever since radio started, with enthusiasts building their own equipment, first with crystal sets, later with tubes, transistors and capacitors and miles of wiring in communications towers rising four or five feet tall. Today, they can use a compact, hand-held radio made in China which, with cellular relay stations, can reach around the world. Their role has become famous for back-up communications in times of war or disaster, keeping humanity in touch with itself in emergencies such as last year’s Alberta forest fires and current ones raging in British Columbia, as well as tornadoes, hurricanes and floods. They are regular contacts with police and all emergency units around the world for such cases
or simply to assist special projects such as community fundraising, or training. It is said, for instance, that it was a ham radio operator who first received the SOS signal from The Titanic, and passed it on to authorities. Most hams are members of clubs, such as the Belleville Amateur Radio Club, which has some 60-plus members, says Tim Pekkanen, president. Getting a proper ham radio licence used to be a gruelling test with requirements such as Morse code skills and knowledge of radio theory. “The test is much simpler now,” said Pekkanen, “but there are still 100 multiple-choice questions and your score determines what radio bands you can operate on.” At an informal regular Saturday morning breakfast at the Quinte Restaurant, Pekkanen and a dozen or more other hams talked about the fun of contacting and making friends literally all over the world, comparing weather, local situations and just chatting. At one time, conversations were mostly in Morse code, but now it is mostly vocal communications. But the call sign to wanting to chat remains the Morse code call letters, CQ. Club members are always willing to assist other people, young or old, to get their licence and join the club. It remains a fascinating and rewarding hobby. Anyone wanting to contact Pekkanen can reach him at 613-969-8012. The club also has a more formal monthly meeting with programs or demonstrations for member interest.
Tim Pekkanen demonstrates the palm-sized radios now commonly used by most licenced amateur radio operators to communicate world wide. Jack Evans/Metroland.

Belleville musician has rare flute – and a great story about how she got it BY JACK EVANS
Belleville – It may not be a “magic flute” as in Mozart’s famous opera, but Belleville musician Debbie Shaw is the proud possessor of a rare bona fide woodwind flute. It’s a long story with a happy ending for two parties. The instrument was one of several old instruments owned by Ron and Sylvia Buskard that had once belonged to Sylvia’s father. While suspecting they might have some value, the Buskards decided they should go to a home where they could be used. As a fellow member of the Probus Club of Belleville and knowing this writer was involved with Quinte Symphony, the writer was asked if he could help them get an evaluation or a new home. After research on the Internet, it was established that they were made by a famous and reputable English firm and that they were antique models that probably had some reasonable value. Later Debbie Shaw was advised of the instruments as a flute player in the orchestra. She was very surprised when, after contacting the Buskards, they donated them to her, a wooden flute, a wooden piccolo and a later model Bakelite flute. Since the instruments were not in playable condition, she took them to fellow orchestra member and musical instrument repair expert Greg Hendrickson, who runs Greg’s Brass and Woodwind Repair Shop, in Trenton. Even at a special price for a fellow orchestra member, the hours of work to get the flute into playable condition ran up a bill of several hundred dollars. The result, however, was a true woodwind flute, which was the original material for flutes for many years. The blow hole has no siding to assist in placing the lips and some of the fingering intervals are almost more than Shaw can reach, but the instrument produces a mellow, sweet sound vying with the quality of some modern flutes played by world famous players on instruments made of solid gold. The Buskards say they’re delighted that their family’s treasured instruments have found a useful home, and particularly for a recital of the restored flute, which Shaw provided to show them what she had done with it. Shaw is still thinking of getting the piccolo cleaned up, too, at a later date.
Debbie shaw plays “Greensleeves” to demonstrate the antique, solid wood flute she has had restored. A regular flute player with the Quinte Symphony and also orchestra president, she is hesitant to use it for concerts because some of the fingering intervals are difficult, but she enjoys playing it for friends.

Skills Ontario Summer Camp helps kids learn about trades BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – The loudest place in Belleville on Wednesday, July 19 might have been the carpentry classroom at Loyalist College. A group of 16 pre-teens were given nails and wood and told by instructor Larry Burnett to “bang away to your heart’s content.” The kids, gleefully, took up the challenge and later moved onto the more structured task of building a knee-high fence, as part of a Skills Ontario Summer Camp. If there’s a demand of skilled tradespeople in Ontario, it’s getting addressed one summer at a time – and one nail at a time – through such camps, which take place at campuses across Ontario. The Loyalist camp was full to capacity with 16 kids who are entering either Grades 7, 8, or 9 in the fall.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Beaches strictly assessed for Blue Flag certificate Dear Editor, Re: Blue Flag is nice honour, but where are lifeguards? We agree that safety is imperative at beaches, which is why it’s one of the pillars of the international Blue Flag program. For a beach to earn a Blue Flag, it must meet 33 criteria, seven of which are related to safety. One of these criteria is that beaches are required to have either lifesaving equipment—including reaching poles and ring buoys—or lifeguards. We also do site visits to ensure that these standards continue to be met, and beach operators must reapply for certification on an annual basis. Additionally, as part of the process to initially apply for the Blue Flag, prospective candidates are required to have a safety audit conducted by the Lifesaving Society and to follow the audit’s recommendations. Sandbanks is implementing the recommendations of its audit this summer, and has already installed safety equipment and signage at Outlet Beach. Blue Flag is more than just a nice honour. When you see a Blue Flag flying, you can be restassured that a beach meets high international standards, including safety. Brett Tryon, Blue Flag Program Manager Environmental Defence

Local film crew wants Bigfoot to come out of hiding BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – When The Woodsmen gets made, Bigfoot won’t be blurry. That’s the promise of Victor Cooper, the local director who’s on a mission to make the next great Bigfoot film. Cooper, a producer at Belleville’s renowned business, Vantage Point Media House, has launched a Kickstarter campaign to make a short film called The Woodsmen for fans of the horror genre. At the top of the website he writes, “You deserve a kickass Bigfoot Film. No found footage, no blurry Bigfoot. This is Bigfoot in all his glory. Best of all it will be FREE!” In an interview to discuss the project, he said horror film fans are often disappointed with Bigfoot-themed movies. “You don’t ever get to see Bigfoot. He’s given almost no face time in movies … When you see him you’re always disappointed.” So he and his team plan to make a Bigfoot front and centre in the film. Victor Cooper of Vantage Point Media is getting ready to film The Woodsmen. They’ve already got a costume ready, Stephen Petrick/Metroland made by Hamilton-based company The Butcher Shop FX Studio. Promo images the group has already released show and video projects – making fictional crowdfunding plan and pledges have the brown-haired monster in all his glo- films is somewhat of an extra-curric- been rolling in since.

pledged money, Cooper and the team have released a pie chart on their website, showing how the money will be spent. They also expect to soon announce their “stretch goals” for the project, such as when they hope to build a set, and when they expect to hire a composer for a musical score. As for the filming, Cooper hopes to start shooting around Oct. 10 in a woods outside of Belleville. He hopes to release the film on a free platform in late December of early 2018. And he’s grateful to those who’ve put down money already. He said the film marks his first foray into crowdfunding “but it’s been ridiculously successful.” He’s learned that when a group tries crowdfunding, they’re not just raising funds. “You’re raising an audience,” he said. “Now they’re invested. They put their hard-earned cash into it.” He said he was psyched recently when he saw someone pledge just $1. It showed that that person didn’t have a lot of money but “they wanted to help anyway. That put a huge smile on my face.” Cooper said the film will probably require a week’s worth of shooting. The film will probably be 13 to 15 minutes in length. He envisions it being the first of a mini-series, but he doesn’t want to get too ahead of himself and knows he has to focus on getting the first one done. As for the profit margin; he’s expecting zero. “We’ll continue to be poor starving artists, but it’s definitely gratifying,” he said. “It’s a tonne of work but it’s fun.” To find the project’s website do a Google search under “Kickstarter and The Woodsmen.”

lights out here. The area is preparing for an influx of tourists for the big event, so a special website has been set up for the occasion: http://carhengesolareclipse2017. com. A number of campsites have been added in the area, and several special events have been planned, including educational workshops, family-friendly activities, and live music. There’ll also be lots of food available. Souvenir solar viewing sunglasses may be purchased, too. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, obscuring the image of the Sun for us earthlings. A total solar eclipse, which is rarer, occurs when the Moon’s diameter appears larger than the Sun’s diameter, blocking all direct sunlight. Therefore, the spectator can actually witness the Sun going dark! A partial eclipse will be seen throughout much of the country that day, but a total solar eclipse can only be seen in the eclipse path itself. According to the aforementioned website, that makes Carhenge the place to be: “A partial eclipse is like standing outside the restaurant smelling the steak on the grill – while a TOTAL ECLIPSE is like actually eating the Nebraska beef!” Alliance is about a 4 hour drive north of Denver, Colorado and about 2 1/2 hours south of Rapid City, South Dakota. If you’re thinking of going to this unique event, Alliance is advising visitors “to be in place prior to Sunday night to avoid traffic congestion. Come in early, relax and enjoy the weekend’s festivities and all that Alliance has to offer.” I’d recommend getting there in time to visit Alliance’s Knight Museum and Sandhills Centre, for this is a great place to get an overview of Nebraska’s Sandhills region. I’d also plan to enjoy more of the area, either before or after this unique opportunity to get “mooned” in Carhenge. In particular, I’d recommend checking out part of the old Oregon Trail, for it led pioneers out west (via wagons drawn by oxen or mules). I’d certainly recommend a stop at both Scotts Bluff National Monument and Chimney Rock National Historic Site.

On my recent visit to western Nebraska, one of my favourite points of interest was Carhenge. This rather quirky, entertaining replica of England’s Stonehenge is located just north of Alliance and is designed by Jim Reinders. The artist intended it as a lasting memorial to his dad, who had once lived on a farm where Carhenge now stands. It’s free to visit, but donations are encouraged. While living in England, Jim had studied the design of Stonehenge, and he used old cars, primarily from the 1950s and 1960s, to replicate this creation in Nebraska (in 1987). Some of these cars (that are approximately 7 feet in width) are planted trunk down and raise, like monoliths, 15 to 17 feet – the same as the standing stones of Stonehenge. Other cars have been welded together and form the arches. All have been covered in gray spray paint (to make it look more like the original). The entire creation has been built to scale (with a 96-foot diameter), and to depict Stonehenge in its modern, dilapidated state. All 38 of the major stones found at Stonehenge are represented here at Carhenge. Other car sculptures have been added to this 10 acre site that’s known as the “Car Art Reserve”, and one of the first was entitled “Spawning Salmon”, which was designed by a Canadian: 29 year old Geoff Sandhurst (of Calgary); his metal piece took first prize in the Friends of Carhenge sculpture contest. But my favourite addition had to be Reinder’s very own “Fourd Seasons” in which he uses Fords to suggest Nebraska’s changing landscape in its 4 seasons. The coloured, planted Fords represent the green, new shoots of spring, the golden wheat maturing in the summer, the autumn harvesting, and the white, snow-covered field of winter. This unusual art form and pop culture icon attracts a lot of tourists – and it will probably get much busier than normal there this August. As you may already know, there will be a total solar eclipse on August 21, and it’s expected that this will be one of the very best spots from which to view it. After all, Alliance is located directly in the centre of the eclipse path, and since this part of the state is dominated by treeless prairies and crop fields, you’ll find little interference to your viewing pleasure! You won’t find a plethora of towering skyscrapers and big city

Historic Ranney Falls powerhouse replacement project is ‘going well’ BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Campbellford – Ontario Power Generation is in the process of replacing the “Pup” at the Ranney Falls Generating Station. It’s the smallest of the two powerhouses, containing a .8 megawatt (MW) unit, which reached the end of its life in 2014 after being in service since 1926. The main powerhouse has two units, each 4.8 MW. The expansion now underway will see a more powerful and efficient 10 MW unit installed in a new building, which will increase the amount of renewable
energy produced at Ranney Falls to 20 MW, capable of serving an additional 10,000 homes. It will also help displace the equivalent of 28,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions, says Ontario Power Generation. Construction began in March and is expected to continue until the winter of 2018. The forebay and tailrace channels are being expanded to accommodate the new powerhouse. A new spillway will also be constructed to bypass the full flow of water to the generating station to the tailrace channel for emergency situations. “Things are going well,” said Neal
COACH & TOURS
Kelly, director of media, issues and information management with OPG. About 30 people are currently employed at the site and their number will increase when the civil contractor begins pouring concrete early in the fall. Parks Canada and Trent Hills “are monitoring the work and issuing the applied for permits when required,” Kelly said. The new powerhouse is expected to be in operation by the end of 2019. Kelly said a community event is planned for September to inform the public about the work that is being done and the reasons for it.

Tweed man pierced by arrow
Police recover body of Corbyville man, 47 Mazinaw - One month after he vanished beneath the waters of deep Mazinaw Lake at Bon Echo, police said they recovered the body of Corbyville man Rich Meeboer, 47. A post-mortem investigation determined Meebower drowned while trying to rescue a swimmer in distress on Mazinaw June 24. Witnesses said Meeboer dove from his own boat to help the girl, who survived the incident. However, Meeboer sank beneath the water and was lost in the deep Mazinaw. OPP dive efforts to locate his body had been foiled until last week. Using sonar and robotics, police searched a different area of the lake beginning Monday and reported they found Meeboer Tuesday afternoon. A Facebook message posted by wife, Lori Meeboer, posted Tuesday, July 25, read, in part: “Thank you everyone for your hopes, prayers, wishes and thoughts. Rich has been recovered. We are so thankful tonight that we will be able to bring him home. There is a long road of grief ahead of us, but now we are able to have him home. I love you Baby.” A crowd-funding campaign has begun to help the family. Details can be found here: https://www.gofundme.com/RichMeeboer Lori Meeboer posted on social media last week. “The Children’s Foundation of Belleville has informed me today that two children, ages 6 and 8 were sent to camp this summer in memory of Rich. He would love that,” she said. The family were support volunteers with the Children’s Foundation.

Flasher arrested, say Belleville police Belleville - A Belleville man has been released from custody following his arrest Monday for an indecent exposure incident in the city’s West Hill neighbourhood. Last Sunday morning, July 30, at 11:15 a.m. a woman told city police she was walking north on Coleman Street nearing Harriett Street when she “observed a man walking towards her. The man had his genitals exposed as he walked past her. The man did not speak to the woman.” Police said they began an investigation and “received assistance from the public which included the incident being captured on video surveillance from a nearby location.”
The location was not revealed by police. After processing and reviewing the video, police were able to capture images of the suspect. These images were distributed to officers to be on the lookout for the man. On Monday, an off-duty Belleville police officer, who had recently reviewed the images observed the same male at a local business on North Front Street. As a result, “uniformed officers attended and arrested the man for the indecent act.” The male was identified as Todd Andrew Brown, 51, of Belleville. Brown was released on a promise to appear in court.

Meet Heather Boyd. Heather is an award-winning Certified Professional Groomer and the owner of Doggie Detailing. She lights up when she talks about her clients – the ones on the grooming table as well as their human companions.
Trenval Business Development Corporation was created in 1987 by the Federal Government to support small business and aspiring entrepreneurs. They grow our local economy by lending funds to small business and managing grant programs. Congratulations to this Trenval client and successful Entrepreneur in Action!
START!
She expanded to a new 1100 sq. ft. storefront at 391 Dundas St W in Trenton to better meet customer needs and within weeks, word spread and her team are now booking a month in advance. Doggie Detailing’s new digs are flooded with natural light, music, and their four-legged guests are spoken to in sweet tones and baby talk. Happy, freshly groomed companions greet their owners wearing a colourful bandana or feather adornment. These niceties matter. All staff are certified vet assistants, highly trained in grooming (one

specializing in cat grooming) and award winners. All staff have ongoing training and Heather plans to bring industry professionals in for skill building sessions. “We don’t just shave dogs – we style them.” Being top in their field by mastering new techniques and studying emerging trends such as the popular Asian style, shows the commitment of the team to offer great service. Staff answers questions, share pictures and video’s while offering advice on their popular Facebook page. Clients can book an appointment online through FB or www.doggie-detailing.ca – what a customer friendly business! The larger location allows Heather to stock quality food and snacks. Groomers see the dry skin, ear infections and other consequences of poor diets or allergies. Heather has seen the difference raw food diets have made with her own animals and is quick to share her experiences. “Raw food is not simply ‘raw food’ and its not for old dogs or big dogs – its for all dogs.”
Doggie Detailing offers two food brands that Heather researched and feeds her own pets. She has found local snack makers that provide grain free pet treats and has managed to keep the costs down. Her line of accessories continues to grow, she promotes a local pet portrait artist and provides an outlet for unique local pet items. Her passion will only expand this business into new areas that serve our pet adoring community. Trenval Business Development enjoys working with clients that possess the ‘passion, high energy and thankfulness’ traits. Heather was referred to Trenval by another local business and feels “Trenval is so much more than a business financing option; they are helpful and organized.” Steve Jobs, Apple Founder, mirrored Corcoran’s belief: “The ONLY way to do great work, is to love what you do”. Heather Boyd’s love of what she does is a gift to our local community. The Board and Staff of Trenval congratulate Heather Boyd and are proud to have been a part of this success story!

The Good Earth
Bouquets for Everyone
By Dan Clost Our granddaughter, with help from her parents, hosted a house-warming party this past weekend. It was our privilege to collect some cut flowers to make bouquets. Many Gentle Readers are aware that I have a slight over other cut-flower gatherers. My work place happens to be a landscape supply nursery with four acres of choices. My only real challenge is to selectively remove a stem or scape without affecting the saleability of the plant. My only limitations are my imagination. Our cut-flower gathering party headed out to the nursery in the early hours of the evening. Many experts say that the best time to harvest flowers is in the morning after they have had their daily uptake of fluids. Practicality says the best time to perform such a task ¬– in fact any gardening task will fit here – is when you have the time to do it. If evening is your time, then evening is when you do it. We had two arrangements in mind. The first was a large outdoor collection that would repose in a relatively small farmer’s cream can; a two foot tall cylinder holding about one and a half gallons of water. The second was meant for the buffet table. The first needed large flowers with lots of visual oomph (technical horticultural term meaning people will see something and say, “Wow!”) The second, in my mind, required a bit more diversity and some intrigue in accordance with the expectation of the viewer’s knowledge of my day job. That’s not always an easy thing to do, GR. For some strange reason, a nice grouping of daylilies, coneflowers and a fern frond or two does not satisfy some folks. They’re looking for a flower which they cannot identify or one that is not easily available to them. (No, I did not go into the tropical house and nip a few orchids.) For large outdoor arrangements, few plants are more accommodating than hydrangeas. GR, I’ll use only common names to save word space. In the cream can, we slipped a few giant Incrediballs as the anchor, then added Berlin, B8 Section B - Thursday, August 3, 2017
Bloomstruck, Limelight, Invincible Spirit, Pink Beauty, Blushing Bride and Wedding Ring. Tall panicles of Russian Sage were scattered throughout with several much taller groups of matureseeded Karl Foerster grass re-accentuate the narrow cylinder at the top end. A bit of greenery and very contrasting texture was achieved with un-opened Autumn Joy sedum fringing the lip. We used that many different hydrangeas because, truly, we could. A very effective arrangement, in the same container, could be accomplished with Annabelles (the most common white-flowering hydrangea) and any “spike” from grass to dracaena to a dark-leafed ninebark. The little glass vase was the “funnest.” One way to incorporate a lot of different flower colours and shapes is to think in threes. We used three carmine coloured lobelia as the tall centre bit. Holding them in one hand, we added three Tomato Soup cone-flowers at a slightly lower level. The bouquet was turned slightly and three Thomas Killen shastas were included. Another turn and three Supreme Cantaloupe cones slipped in. Continuing in the same manner, Raspberry Tart, Banana Cream, Tangerine Dream, and Aglaia were combined into the mix. For frilly interest bits peeking through the solid flower heads we inserted Fanal and Younique astilbes, and then added three stems of bright yellow Rocket ligularia to contrast the lobelia. Finishing up, purple Gayfeather, Karl Foerster grass, Elegans hosta were supported by a bottom circle of the dwarf Venice hydrangea. By using minigroups of three throughout the arrangement, the viewer has time to enjoy each variety before being drawn to the next. When every bloom is different the effect can be strikingly effective but also difficult to appreciate each flower as an individual. Creating bouquets are fun but gifting them is even more rewarding.

Turtles a hit at conservation presentation BY SUE DICKENS
Campbellford — A couple of live turtles from the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre were the highlight of a special presentation hosted by Friends of Ferris (FofF) at the park on Saturday, July 29. “Friends of Ferris promotes the park, but is also involved with bringing in events to educate. This is a perfect example, and to see the kids’ faces light up when the live turtles were presented was so worth our efforts. Paddy the snapping turtle was amazing,” said Barb Hogan, president of the very active non-profit group of volunteers. She and other board members were on hand for the event, which attracted about 80 people, including dozens of children, who wanted to learn more about this reptile. “And the work of the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre is remarkable, and we are so fortunate to have them so close as they take turtles province wide,” she added. The centre, formerly known as the Kawartha Turtle Trauma Centre, is located in Peterborough and is a hospital for injured turtles. The centre’s main speaker was Wendy Braggs, education and outreach co-ordinator.
Her assistant was Hilary Winstanley. Together they talked about how seven of the eight species of turtles in Ontario are at risk. “Our turtles are endangered ... there’s different levels from special concern to threatened to endangered,” said Braggs. A couple of the species are hovering on the edge of being extinct. The only one not yet at risk is the Midland painted turtle. “Of all the injured turtles we get in at the centre, this (Midland painted) turtle is by far the most amount.” said Braggs. “In southern Ontario, we have lost 75 per cent of the wetlands ... it’s extremely important we save the remaining 25 per cent ... water levels and climate change are really affecting our turtles.” The presentation was so wellreceived that FofF hopes to bring the centre back again next year. For FofF, the goal now is to increase membership. “Our numbers are down and we need support to continue these great events,” Hogan commented.
Their next event is the ever-popular and longtime favourite dry stonewall workshop, which will take place on Saturday, Aug. 26. For more information on FofF and their projects visit http://www.friendsofferris.ca/friends.html.
