Pow Wow wows thousands

BY MELYSSA GLOUDE

Tyendinaga Mohwak Territory – For the 30th consecutive year, the sounds of drumming and feet pounding on grass could be heard throughout Tsi tkerhitoten Park over the weekend as thousands of people came together for the annual Tyendinaga Pow Wow. “Dancers come from all over, and they become friends, which is nice,” says Ruby Boomhour, who’s been working with co-ordinating the Pow Wow for over 25 years.

“We always have thousands of people. We have dancers from Curve Lake, Ottawa, Onondaga, Ahkwesáhsne, Six Nations… They come from all over.”

The Pow Wow, which features nearly 60 vendors and 12 food vendors, saw maximum parking capacity by Saturday morning according to Oyohserase Maracle, who was also working as a coordinator at the event.

“It starts Saturday morning with the Sunrise Ceremony, and then at noon, they start with Grand Entry. We then have the Mohawk Opening, which is giving thanks to the earth, and everything that’s not man-made,” says Maracle, who says that several thousand people were in and out of the grounds throughout the weekend.

“We usually have a social Saturday night and then the same thing the next day. We then do multiple inter-tribals throughout the day, dancing and singing, and we just have fun.”

And fun it is. Fourteen-year-old Eagle Barberstock has been involved in the Pow Wow for two years in a row and says that aside from being a lead dancer, he also takes on another important role in the festivities.

“I pack down the grass before everyone comes into the pow wow,” says Barberstock. “So there’s nothing in the grass. That’s my role here.”

Barberstock’s regalia consists of brightly coloured fringe, fitting for the yearly theme of the Pow Wow: “honouring our cultural traditions.”

(From left) New safety village executive director Julie Bennett, board vice-chair Jean Czyczyro, Dayle and Matt Dafoe and chair Richard Hanson celebrate Dafoe Roofing’s contribution to the village. Submitted photo Belleville – New roofs were part of the plan when people with the Children’s Safety Village applied for a Parrott Foundation grant last summer.

They didn’t expect a donation and a lifetime commitment from the roofer once the job was done.

Dafoe Roofing was awarded the contract to replace the roofs on the classroom and garage buildings in the fall but once Dayle and Matt Dafoe, owners of Dafoe Roofing, got a sense of what the Safety Village does for the community, they were inspired to do more.

In addition to donating $2,500 for general operating costs, Dayle said his company would come back every spring to check over all the roofs and make sure everything is in good condition.

The Children’s Safety Village opened in 2004, behind the Belleville Police Service building along Dundas Street East.

It has 17 buildings in total, which

are used as part of education programs that teaches kids about street safety. After 13 years some building are weathering.

“We are always looking for people who are willing to share their time and talent with us – there are a lot of hands-on activities we must undertake to keep the Safety Village operational and safe for classes and the public,” said Richard Hanson, chair of the Safety Village’s board. “Knowing we can count on Dayle and Matt to look after our roofs is a real relief and benefit to the board.”

While there is an ongoing fundraising campaign to build some reserves to cover operational and transportation costs, talented and skilled volunteers add real value to the bottom line, Hanson added.

The Village welcomes volunteers to help with cleaning and maintenance projects, school visits and upcoming events. Visit www.csvbelleville.com for details.

POW WOW WOWS THOUSANDS

Continued from Page 1

According to Barberstock, this year’s ceremonies have been the best yet.

“It’s pretty crazy. My first year wasn’t nearly as good as this year. This year has been a lot better (and) more booths, a lot more people, a lot more singers and drums. It’s just been great.”

According to the Tyendinaga Mohawk Council, this years’ goal was to uphold the values of traditional society based on sharing, caring, learning and respect for creation, and for each other while upholding cultural diversity, friendship and respect among all who attended.

Eagle Barberstock, 14, has been dancing for two years.

He was chosen as the Youth Male lead dancer and Grass Dancer for this year’s Tyendinaga Pow Wow. Melyssa Gloude/Metroland

New Historical Society plaque commemorates downtown floods

BY JACK EVANS

Belleville – Among the “flood” of plaques being unveiled this bicentenary year for Belleville by the Hastings County Historical Society was one Wednesday of last week to mark the many floods that have ravaged downtown Belleville over many years.

The location is on the storefront wall of 224 Front St. While one flood caused extensive damage as recently as 1981, the last really serious one was in 1936. It was strong enough to rip out iron bridge crossings, like the Catherine Street footbridge, the gathering overlooking the Moira River, was told at the ceremony.

Historical Society president Richard Hughes also noted that the river had undergone several name changes over the centuries from its aboriginal name, Sagonaska, to Meyers Creek to the Moira. He

introduced Bruce Bishop, whose family have operated a business in the downtown core for several generations, as one man who could recall the 1936 flood from firsthand experience.

Bishop recalled that he was about 10 years old at the time and his father put out a general call for help, providing “rubber boots to those who needed them and shots of whisky to many.” He also recalled that bags of grain seed that got soaked in the flood, “exploded like rifle shots when they dried.”

The role Quinte Conservation, originally the Moira River Conservation Authority, has played over many years for flood relief was spelled out by Terry Murphy, general manager, as a priority for the agency from the start.

Dams to break up and control sheet ice proved not to be the answer as the agency learned the hard way about “frazil ice, which sticks to everything, bottom to ice

overhead,” he explained. So dams were designed to reduce rapids, the prime cause of frazil ice.

Murphy quipped that he would not promise there will never be another flood, given that this year the river is three times its normal height for August, but he expects that with an official “100 year rainfall” this past spring, “It should at least be a long time before we see another one.”

Dan Atkinson, master of ceremonies, noted that descriptions of Moira floods are including in the writings of Susanna Moodie, especially for 1844 and 1852.

Coun. Egerton Boyce also quoted from Moodie and other reports on floods over the years. The 1936 flood did not see Belleville standing alone. Some 75 cities experienced serious flooding that spring.

The society still has a fourth and fifth From left, Dan Atkinson, Terry Murphy, Richard Hughes plaque to unveil in the coming weeks, and Grant Harrison unveil the plaque that commemorates including one to mark the former train dowtown floods .

Belleville to receive more than $3 million for infrastructure from Gas Tax Fund, Quinte West gets $2.6M Belleville – The City of Belleville will receive more than $3 million in infrastructure money from the annual Gas Tax Fund Transfer.

Bay of Quinte MP Neil Ellis announced Belleville would receive a total of $3,007,118, Quinte West would receive $2,619,903 and Prince Edward County will receive $1,535,847 from the fund.

Money from the fund, established by the Paul Martin Liberal federal government, is distrib-

uted to municipal governments twice each year.

The federal government delivered the first of two instalments in July with the second instalment coming in November.

Money from the fund is typically slated for municipal infrastructure requirements such as road reconstruction and transit upgrades. Local communities can make investments across 18 different project categories, including roads and bridges, public transit, drinking water and

Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison said the funding will help “bridge the gap” in money that is required for the city’s immediate and future needs.

“The Federal Gas Tax Fund is critical to the City of Quinte Wests’ infrastructure, competitiveness and environmental sustainability,” Harrison said.

In Prince Edward County, mayor Robert Quaiff noted the money would go to “several roads and bridge projects” this year.

“As a rural municipality with many infrastructure requirements, the federal Gas Tax Fund is a welcome source of predictable financial support to address some of those needs,” he said.

The Gast Tax Fund was introduced in 2005 and has delivered more than $7.9 billion dollars to Ontario communities so far.

The federal Gas Tax Fund makes over $2 billion available each year, and provides each community across Canada with a permanent, predictable and indexed source of long-term funding.

OPINION

Kim Jong-Trump and the big jump “I’m not saying we wouldn’t get our hair mussed, Mr. President, but I do say not more than 10 or 20 million dead, depending on the breaks.”

So said General ‘Buck’ Turgidson, urging the US president carry out a nuclear Gwynne Dyer to first strike in Stanley Kubrick’s 1963 film ‘Dr Strangelove: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.’

But, nobody in Kubrick’s movie talked like Kim Jong-un (“American bastards would be not very happy with this gift sent on the July 4 anniversary,” he crowed, celebrating North Korea’s first successful test of an ICBM). They didn’t talk like Donald Trump either (“North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen.”)

Kubrick’s film came out the year after the Cuban missile crisis, when the world went to the brink of nuclear war after the Soviet Union put nuclear missiles into Cuba to deter an American invasion. It was a terrifying time, but neither US President John F. Kennedy nor the Soviet leaders used violent language. They stayed calm, and carefully backed away from the brink.

So Kubrick’s fictional leaders had to stay sane too; only his generals and civilian strategic ‘experts’ were crazy. Anything else would have been too implausible even for a wild satire like ‘Strangelove’. Whereas, now we live in different times.

Trump may not understand what his own words mean, but he is threatening to attack North Korea if it makes any more threats to the United States. That’s certainly how it will be translated into Korean.

Maybe the American and North Korean leaders are just two playground bullies yelling at each other, but even in their more grownup advisers it sets up the the train of thought best described by strategic theorist Thomas Schelling: “He thinks we think he’ll attack; so he thinks we shall; so he will, so we must.” This is how people can talk themselves into launching a ‘pre-emptive’ or ‘preventive’ nuclear attack.

Is this where the world finds itself at the moment? ‘Fraid so. And although a nuclear war with North Korea at this point wouldn’t even muss America’s hair – the few North Korean ICBMs would probably go astray or be shot down before they reached the US – it could kill

many millions of Koreans on both sides of the border.

A million or so Japanese might die as well (that would depend on the fallout), and a few tens of thousands of US soldiers in western Pacific bases (from targeted strikes). Indeed, as the scale of the potential disaster comes home to North Korean strategists, you can see them start to play with the idea of a “limited nuclear war.”

North Korean planners have announced that they are “carefully examining” a plan for a missile attack on the big US base on Guam.

In that way they could “signal their resolve” in a crisis by only hitting one isolated American military target. Their hope would be that such a limited attack would not unleash an all-out US nuclear counter-attack that would level North Korea.

‘Limited’ nuclear war has never been credible, because it assumes that people will remain severely rational and unemotional while under attack by nuclear weapons.

Thinking about limited nuclear war, while unrealistic, is evidence that the planners are starting to get really scared about an all-out nuclear war, which is just what you want them to be. Nevertheless, we are entering a particularly dangerous phase of the process, not least because the other two major nuclear powers in the world, China and Russia, both have land borders with North Korea. And neither of them loves or trusts the United States.

What “process” are we talking about here?

The process of coming to an accommodation that lets North Korea keep a nuclear deterrent, while reassuring that it will never have to use those weapons. Because that’s what these North Korean missiles and nuclear warheads are about: deterring an American attack aimed at changing the regime.

They couldn’t be about anything else. North Korea can never have enough missiles to attack the US or its local allies and survive: it would be national suicide. But it can have enough of them to carry out a “revenge from the grave” and impose unacceptable losses on the US if it attacks North Korea. Deterrence, as usual, is the name of the game.

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson briefly said that the US was not seeking to change the North Korean regime last week, although he was almost immediately contradicted by President Trump. In the long run, however, that is the unpalatable but acceptable way out of this crisis. In fact, there is no other way out.

Column by Stephen Petrick The family and I just got back from a threeday Toronto vacation and we learned this: it’s best to avoid the Don Valley Parkway in the early morning, mid morning, around noon, early afternoon, rush hour, early evening and late night. There might be a window between 3:15 a.m. and 3:30 when cars can get up to the speed of Marco Estrada’s changeup.

Same goes for the big tourist attractions, the Ripley’s Aquarium, CN Tower, Royal Ontario Museum and Toronto Zoo. It’s best to avoid these early in the morning, mid-morning, around noon, early afternoon, rush hour, early evening and late night. There might be a 15-second span, upon the opening of gates, when you can get an unobstructed view.

If you’re going to spend some time in the Big Smoke in prime tourism season, consider dropping into an Argonauts football practice and ask to work with the running backs. You’ll need to learn how to spot a lane opening and dive right in.

According to the latest census data, there are about 2.8 million people living in Toronto and recent tourism reports suggest that the city gets upwards of 14 million overnight visitors and another 26 million day trippers in a calendar year.

A sizeable chunk of those, we learned harshly, visit the relatively new Ripley’s Aquarium underneath the CN Tower. It provides an amazing spectacle. Through glass, schools of exotic fish, sharks and sting rays stare in wonder at the savage world of homo sapiens as they elbow away predators in their overpopulated habitat, while their young cling onto their hair.

The pandas at the zoo, perhaps in an effort to save their species, choose to live a less stressful life. They sleep through the noise that comes from the herd of humans who gather in clusters outside their bamboo walls.

One day a future species will observe skeletons of 21st century man and woman – with arms extended in front of their face in selfie pose – next to the stegosaurus sculpture at the

ROM. The writing on the wall will explain that it wasn’t a meteorite that killed us monkeys. We all starved to death because cafeteria prices got too high.

Kidding aside, I love Toronto am grateful to live so close to a world-class city. And now that my wife Amy and I have two kids beyond baby age we decided to invest in some memories for them.

We bought a CityPASS that, while not cheap, provided us some savings for visiting four attractions in the span of three days – the aquarium, CN Tower, zoo and ROM. (Sorry Casa Loma, we were too burned out to squeeze you in).

It saved us some time, too. With the passes, we were able to pay about $3 extra per head for a “timed ticket” for the CN Tower, which allowed us to head back towards the turnstiles in about an hour. Given that it was a clear August day, general admission ticket holders that day were looking at a three-hour wait to get into the big elevator.

Our two-year-old, Benji, was completely oblivious to how high we were. Our five-yearold Nate loved the view and thought the cars on the ground looked like toys. They were also both oblivious to the near-heart attacks their height-fearing parents were having.

On the way down, the staffer in the elevator said we’ll see the gift shop on the way out – but that’s just a co-incidence, “not planned,” she said, tongue-in-cheek. Funny, too is how the gift shop, with super fun toys for kids, was on the way out of every place we visited. But, spending a few bucks there is sometimes a necessary evil for keeping kids un-cranky through the endless bumper-to-bumper traffic that takes you out of town.

Last Friday afternoon, it was a two-hour drive from downtown Toronto to Durham region. But, eventually we made it out, leaving the craziness and any trace of disposable income, behind. We love Toronto and will surely visit again soon. But next time it will more likely be in November.

Belleville homebuilder Eric DenOuden cycling across country to raise funds

BY BRIAN DEXTER

Eric DenOuden hadn’t ridden a bicycle since he was in school.

Then, four years ago, the Belleville-based homebuilder and grandfather of 16, decided to give cycling a try once more.

He was soon hooked. And this week he is near the final stages of a nine-week 6,579-kilometre pedal between Vancouver and Halifax to raise funds for global aid programs.

He left Ottawa on Aug.14 for a six-day ride to Le Bic in Quebec on the shores of the St. Lawrence River just southwest of Rimouski.

DenOuden who lives at Carrying Place, with his wife, Toni, is president of Hillden Homes and currently also president of the Canadian Homebuilders’ Association.

He’s one of 135 cyclist participants in SeatoSea, an adventure ride by Canadian and U.S. churchgoers that’s run by the Christian Reformed Church in North America, a congregation with more than 1,000 churches.

The trip aims at raising $1.5 million for local and global aid programs of church agencies World Renew and Partners WorldWide.

The target was reached halfway through the ride and now riders hope to surpass it big time. All riders going the whole route have had to contribute $12,000 each to the cause themselves or through fundraising.

Eric DenOuden is pictured by his bike, during DenOuden has raised $73,000 so far, partly the SeatoSea tour. through his homebuilder contacts.

Dr. Suresh Appan & Associates

He attends Ebenezer CRC in Trenton and for years has done occasional volunteer duty in Africa and the Dominican Republic with work such as helping to build community centres and schools.

“I have a heart for these things and I know where the funds that are raised here go to,” DenOuden says. “Every time we cyclists stop at a small town, people ask questions about the ride. And I’m overly impressed at the times people have handed us a $10- or $20-bill. It is a great cause.”

The theme of the ride is “Cycling to End Poverty” and DenOden began training on his bike last winter during time spent in the southern U.S. Back home in spring he then got up early every weekday to ride 30- to 60-km before work.

The SeatoSea ride requires cyclists to go 160 km or more on many days in succession to reach camp for the night. For slower riders that might mean 8 or 10 hours in the saddle some days. They go in small groups or ride alone.

Support crews drive ahead to mark the route.

Others staff rest stops and where needed help with flats or mechanical breakdowns. Gear, for riders, including tents, is carried in a support truck. Another transports supplies food.

The whole route of SeatoSea, including a 700-km diversion through the U.S. south of Lake Superior, is one sixth of the circumference of the world or almost twice the distance professional cyclists do in the three-week Tour

de France.

DenOuden says fortunately the weather so far has been good for the ride. “We’ve had few days of rain or hard headwinds to battle against on the Prairies.”

He says it is a real joy to be able to cross Canada on a bike for the country’s 150th birthday and see the beauty all around. And, while the physical challenge is daunting he’s managing very well.

He wondered if he’d be able to spend so much time away from his business but he took the plunge, delegated responsibilities to others and regularly uses his smart phone to check with his office and deal with specific issues that require his personal attention.

The age range of riders is 12 to 81.

Seventy per cent of riders are Canadians and most are from Ontario where the CRC has 130 churches. Nearly 300,000 people are members of the denomination in Canada and the U.S. Apart from DenOuden several other cyclist participants in SeatoSea are from communities along Lake Ontario shores between Oshawa and Kingston.

For more information go to seatosea.org and click on rider resources to see their daily route. You can also donate online or by calling 1-888-272-2453.

Brian Dexter is a retired Toronto Star photojournalist. He spent two days with SeatoSea last week and submitted this story.

Belleville – In the shadow of Belleville’s towering city hall is an oasis for women in the heart of a city lacking in places that offer so much diversity of services in one place.

It’s called She Thrives and it is housed in a stunning repurposing of the historical former McDougall Building at 161 Front St., flush in the heart of downtown.

“She Thrives is a place for women to take off their super hero capes and get the kind of support they need physically (maybe from our pelvic health physiotherapist - there are only two in Belleville!), a yoga class to relax the mind, or maybe some guidance from our certified life coach that will help take a woman who feels lost in her life and get her on a track to peace and happiness,” said spokeswoman Annie Hoza.

Co-owner Sarah Hutchison, with business partner Cristol Smyth, operate other womencentric clinics and spas in central Ontario, but Hutchison said Belleville is unique in it’s all-under-one-roof diversity of services.

“We have other, specific places in Northumberland County, but when we decided we wanted to have such a place as this, with the varied scope of services and spaces we offer, we couldn’t find anything in Cobourg, for instance, that fit the bill as with this building,” she said of the century-old business block that has housed insurance offices and those of lawyers in recent years.

“We just love this space, as do our clients, and there are just so many attributes to it that serve the various services we offer. We didn’t want it to be just another yoga and massage location.”

The services offered at She Thrives range from massage therapy, to yoga, meditation, Reiki and Bowen therapies, physiotherapy and the aforementioned pelvic floor therapist. When asked about the latter, Hutchison explained it is a specialty that deals specifically with strengthening and improving functions of the muscles and structure of the lower pelvic region in women, primarily, as well as men, who may have had prostate surgery.

“I’m sure it’s not a secret that, for 70 per cent of women of a certain age and after child years, there is some bladder and incontinence issues,” explained Hutchison. “Our therapist is specially trained to do some remarkable things to help people strengthen and lessen the impact of those issues. It’s really quite remarkable.”

The building offers a myriad of rooms that have been handsomely and brightly refinished and refurnished and the yoga studio, alone, is a warm, inviting place where clients are almost instantly at ease with soaring windows and streaming sunlight to the antique fireplace in one corner for the colder months.

“With She Thrives comes a community of support,” said Hoza.

“Women from all walks of life are accepted and warmly welcomed into our group of women or ‘our tribe’ through our women’s groups and classes.”

Though She Thrives is a predominantly a women’s facility it does

The bright, welcoming reception area opening to Front Street at She Thrives. offer Thursdays as a Family Day. “We do this because our husbands, significant others, brothers and children are all part of our lives and can share in what we’re experiencing here,” said Hoza.

Hutchison said while the centre has been open since May and the reputation is growing, She Thrives is still seeking a couple more specialities, including a physiotherapist and aesthetician.

“It’s all about feeling good inside and out,” smiles Hutchison of the search for the right aesthetician.

Amer Sports employees ratify contract, avoid work stoppage Belleville – Workers at the former Wilson Sports facility in Belleville have ratified a contract with their Finnish corporate owners, the union representing the workers said in a statement.

The 37 workers from Belleville’s Amer Sports plant voted last week to ratify a new collective agreement “providing improvements to language, medical notes to be paid for by (Amer) … (and) an incentive was achieved for early retirement for any

employee with 20 years of service with no age restriction, improvements to the Workers United Education Fund, and wages increase.”

There was no release of information pertaining to specifics of any of the wage settlements in the statement from the union.

Randy Hutchinson, president of Workers United Canada Council Local 1821, said he was “pleased with (the recent) outcome and wishes to thank the news, social media and ra-

dio for their support…”

Amer Sports, a Finnish company based out of Helsinki, manufactures and distributes many popular brand name sportswear and sports-related equipment, including Wilson, Suunto, Solomon, Mavic, Arc’teryx, Atomic, Volant, Nikita, Bonfire, Precor.

Many of Amer’s employees at Belleville’s facility have been with the company for more than 20 years.

City officials open the Thurlow Park Playground. Submitted photo

Belleville opens three parks

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – City officials cut ribbons to celebrate the opening of three public parks on Saturday, Aug. 12; a sign of the Belleville’s residential growth and the municipality’s commitment to stay family-friendly.

First officials gathered at Potter’s Creek Park Playground, at 49 Aldersgate Drive, a recently-developed area in the city’s west end.

Next, it was off to the Thurlow Park Playground, at 552 Harmony Rd. in Belleville. This park is in between the new Harmony Public School and the Gerry Masterson Community Centre in the growing Thurlow community.

Then, it was off to the Clarence S. Bird Memorial Park Playground at 34 Hampton Ridge Dr., in another new suburb, north of the Maitland Drive Lowe’s store.

There, many of Clarence Bird’s family and friends gathered for a massive ribbon-cutting photo.

Belleville’s manager of parks and open spaces, Larry Glover, said it was a banner day for the city. The longtime city staffer couldn’t recall being at three ribbon-cutting ceremonies in the same day since George Zegouras’ time as mayor, when a campaign was

launched to rename several parks after former mayors.

He said the city prides itself on providing good parks and playground facilities for children. They provide an opportunity to parents to get children outside and active at no cost.

“I think it’s so important,” he said.

“It’s just so important we get kids active at a young age. Get them to have some fun and some physical activity.

How much better is it than that?”

The city budget for the three parks, combined, came in at about $800,000, Glover said.

The Thurlow Park playground replaced a previous playground that was out of date. The two other parks were brand new builds and the land developer contributed about a third of their costs, Glover said.

The parks have wood fibre surfaces, to meet modern safety standards, Glover added.

Saturday’s ribbon cutting ceremonies could be the first batch of many.

The city is currently looking at renewing infrastructure at several more city parks, Glover said, as many more are due for playground replacements.

“It seems the lifespan of a playground is about 20 years,” he said.

Belleville – The big new gym at 199 Bell Blvd. is a “judgement free zone.”

That’s a promise from staff of the new Planet Fitness franchise.

The 16,000-square-foot facility, next to Rhino Sports & Playland in the former Zellers location, opened recently and held a grand opening celebration Aug. 8.

There, staff told guests and local dignitaries that the franchise caters to the average person, just looking to get in shape.

It’s not marketed to fanatical body builders, yet strives to make a safe atmosphere, where everyone feels comfortable working out.

“Our motto is, ‘the world judges, we don’t,” said Pam Fitzgerald, a marketing director at the grand opening. “We’re all just regular people here. Everyone’s here, just for health.”

The gym has dozens of treadmills, exercise bikes and other cardio equipment lined through the massive facility and guests can work out while watching numerous flat screen TVs. During the grand opening, it was apparent that the gym is already enjoying brisk business.

Dozens of people were working out in the airconditioned environment, away from the rushhour heat.

The gym is open 24/7 and there’s always staff on hand, even in the middle of the night. There’s also an in-house trainer who offers programs in small groups, up to five people.

A regular “no commitment” membership is listed as costing $10 on the franchise’s main website. A “black card” membership costs about $22 a month and gives customers access to more services, such as tanning studios and “hydromassages.”

Planet Fitness is a franchise that started in Dover, New Hampshire in 1992. Originally, like most gyms, it had a membership fee of about $35 but in the late 90s in slashed the rate to $10, thinking the ultra-cheap rate would help it capitalize on the fitness craze.

The plan worked and today Planet Fitness has hundreds of locations across the U.S where customers work out on its trademark purple and yellow machines. The Belleville location marks the 18th franchise in Ontario, as part of an expansion plan into Canada that started just recently.

Staff say they’re sure the Belleville franchise will be successful, as people lined up to purchase memberships from a trailer outside the location when construction was still underway.

“The community has been amazing,” Fitzgerald said.

Belleville – Belleville’s reputation as a singing community continues this fall with news that a new community choir will be starting up.

With male and female barbershop choruses, many church choirs, a choral society, two youth choirs and a gospel choir, the new ensemble is the project of prominent local musician Michael Faulkner, who , for some years, ran a community choir as part of his work as musician for Holy Trinity Lutheran Church. That choir performed several successful concerts over the years.

Faulkner has a strong reputation as a voice teacher with a number of his students showing outstanding achievements. He is also a keyboard player and teacher and active throughout the province as a music festival adjudicator.

Since leaving his post at Holy Trinity, many

former members of his choirs have expressed a loss in their beloved activity, but Faulkner has now announced plans for a new choral ensemble to be called “Let’s Make a Choir.” Faulkner says the chorus is open for “singers of all ages” with rehearsals scheduled for Wednesdays from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at St. Columba Presbyterian Church, 520 Bridge St. East, corner Bridge and Farley.

Rehearsals will start Sept. 27, with plans for annual concerts both at Christmas and spring.

Registration fees are $150 to cover costs of music. For more information or to register, call Michael at (613) 391-1541, (phone or text.) Or email: r.michael.faulkner@gmail.com.

Already, Faulkner reports pre-registration by about 25 singers. A wide range of music can be expected, from folk to sacred to popular and classic. Faulkner will provide accompaniment himself.

Quinte Ribfest move to Trenton deemed a smoking-hot success

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Quinte West – The award for the best ribs at Quinte Ribfest on the weekend went to Fat Boys Barbecue. Meanwhile, Hawgs Gone Wild took home awards for best chicken and sauce.

Also worthy of praise, was the City of Quinte West for hosting the festival for the first time and luring, what organizers believed Sunday, might turn out to be a record number of people.

Mike Letwin, president of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Hastings Prince Edward Counties (the organization that benefits from Ribfest proceeds) said that by the Saturday night of the weekend festival, attendance had already surpassed last year’s total attendance, when the festival was in Belleville at Zwick’s Island Park.

The total attendance numbers for this year weren’t available as of press time Tuesday, but on Sunday organizers were already deeming the festival a success.

“The response from Quinte West is amazing,” said Letwin, from inside Centennial Park on Sunday. It was around noon and already dozens of people were lining up at the five rib stands to try the southern-U.S.-style smoked ribs and chicken.

Ribfest had taken place at Zwick’s for the 10 previous years. Letwin dismissed reports that the move to Trenton’s Centennial Park this year had anything to do with dissatisfaction with Belleville parks and recreation staff, or the services offered at Zwick’s.

Letwin acknowledged that many people questioned the move when it was first announced, but the move was really just made to try something new, he said.

“Trenton is part of our (Big Brothers/Sisters) catchment area,” he said. “We spent 10 year at Zwick’s and we thought a change would be good.”

He praised both the City of Quinte West for working with festival organizers to get everything set up this year and Belleville for working with the festival for 10 years “There was nothing wrong with Belleville or Zwick’s,” he said. “For 10 years it was really

good to us.”

Rib lovers this year paid $2 to enter. That money, plus proceeds from sponsors, raffles and alcohol sales, will help Big Brothers Big Sisters offer programming. The organization pairs kids in need of older role models with a “Big” who can spend time with them and can take them to community events or activities. Big Brothers Big Sisters also offers in-school mentoring programs.

Letwin said Ribfest proceeds normally cover about 60 per cent of the organization’s yearly operational budget. Each year it hopes the Ribfest will bring in about $60,000.

The ribbers, which this year included Hawgs Gone Wild, Camp 31, Jack the Ribber, Fat Boys Barbecue and Ribs Royale, keep the income they earn from food sales, Letwin explained.

However, they contribute to the festival by paying a fee to set up shop there.

While the Quinte West event was, no doubt, successful, Letwin said no decision has been made yet on next year’s location, when Ribfest celebrates its 12th year of raising money for Big Brothers Big Sisters.

But, he stressed that Ribfest has always strived to be a regional event, accessible to everyone in the Hastings-Prince Edward region.

“It’s a Quinte event and always will be,” he said.

Jr. C Campbellford Rebels looking to fill holes

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford – The Campbellford Rebels will hold their main camp this weekend in Trenton and fewer than 10 players have signed for the team’s upcoming Empire B Junior C Hockey League season. There are still holes to fill in the lineup.

“It's an open camp,” coach Brent Tupling said.

The camp will run from noon to 1:30 p.m and from 4:30 to 6 p.m.

Aug. 19 and 20, and the cost to participate is $75.

“We're actually not looking too bad, a lot of it's depending on our veterans coming back,” Tupling said. “We've got a bunch that are off to Junior A camps right now.”

He's hoping this week's camp will produce “some good prospects” as well as see the return of “some good veterans ... There's a lot of guys up in the air. Hopefully it will solidify the team.”

“We've got a few good spots to fill,” including two on defence, four up front, and one in net, Tupling said.

The coaching staff is in place with Mike Summerfeldt being the latest addition. The former Jr. A goalie who also played professional hockey in Europe will look after the team's goaltenders as well as its defence.

“We're just getting really excited about the way everything is coming (together),” Tupling said.

He's the new coach and the Rebels have a new owner, Michelle Cross.

“We're really looking forward to a good year,” he said.

To register for the camp, call Tupling at 226-820-6761, or email ibtupling@hotmail.com.

“All players born in 2001 to 1997 are welcome to come out,” he said.

His preference is that the players make their intention to attend known by at least the day before camp opens Aug. 19.

“If somebody shows up (the same day as camp), we're not going to turn them away,” Tupling said. “We're going to have a look at them and see if they can help us.”

Pepper, Shannonville races draw top riders

BY DON EMPEY

Belleville – Flat Track Canada’s National Series Round 5 took place at the Belleville Fairgrounds Saturday night in front of a packed grandstand with the second running of the George Pepper dirt track races, sponsored by MotoSport Plus of Kingston.

The weather co-operated this year and a large contingent of motorcycle dirt track racers descended on Belleville, all looking to put their name on the prestigious George Pepper trophy, this being the second year of the newly revamped event.

In the Open Expert final, National Series points leader Brodie Buchan of Leamington, got a great start, only to have the race red flagged because of an incident in corner four. A slight delay in the festivities did little to dampen the spirit of the young racer, on a track that he openly admits to struggle on. On the restart, Buchan mounted the Kurt Biegger Racing Honda and shot into the lead with a freight train of riders in hot pursuit, notably Dustin Brown and Tyler Seguin who were battling for runner-up status. With several laps still to go, Buchan’s steel shoe parted company with his left boot, leaving Buchan without to option of sliding his foot. With the shoe dangling precariously behind, Buchan managed to maintain his advantage over the rest of the field for the win.

Brown held off Seguin for second, while Dave Pouliot, aboard the John Parker backed Kawasaki charged hard but finished just short of a podium spot. In fifth was Brandon Seguin.

In the DTX class, it was Parker Norris with a big win, just ahead of Brodie Buchan while third place finisher Dave Pouliot pushed the two across the finish line. In fourth and fifth were Dustin Brown and William Bellerose respectively.

Tyler Seguin lead the field in the “Dash For Cash” challenge with Brodie Buchan in second and Dustin Brown in third.

In the Open Intermediate race it was Matty Ward first across the line with Trent Pickle in second and Dustin Lambert in third, while Jimmy McCullough took the honours in DTX Intermediate. Behind McCullough were Trent Pickle and Dustin Lambert.

Former Speedway champ John Kehoe had a great ride to win the Veteran Class race with senior statesman Rick Gumby in second. Quebec racer Buddy Ford took the final step of the podium after a race long battle with local rider Dan Doreen who had to settle for fourth. Picton’s Ric jones was unable to coax his CR500 Honda to life and missed the final. Jones however did enjoy another thrilling race to win the Vintage Modified race.

In Production ATV racing, local racer Adam Minnie finished just short of a podium position, having to settle for fourth, behind race winner Pierre Mayer, second place finisher Rodney Beaudrie and Shawn Waite who took third.

After Saturday’s exciting event, the racers then set their sights on Trail Blazer Park in Shannonville where the Bayside Riders hosted a Flat Track Canada Provincial Round on Sunday.

Dustin Brown took the win in the Open Expert race at Trail Blazer Park. In second was Dave Pouliot and Jimmy McCullough finished in third. In the DTX Expert final, it was Dave Pouliot first across the line and Dustin Brown in second. Taking the final step of the podium was Brodie Buchan.

Local riders did well on their hometown track. Adam Minnie earned another fourth place finish in the Production ATV class while Ric Jones got a big win in the Vintage Mod class. Jones also had a race long battle in the Veteran 40+ race with Rick Gumby. Jones led most of the race but Gumby managed to get by for the win on the penultimate lap. Dan Doreen held onto third for most of the race but fell back into fourth at the flag.

Belleville – Bulldogs senior women went 0-and-2 in the 2017 Rugby Ontario Intermediate Cup round-robin following a 43-34 home field loss to the Markham Irish. Jess Hercus (2), Sabrina Provencal, Jordan Semark, Sara Wood and Emilie Merilainen scored tries; Hanna Fitzgerald slotted two converts.

Last Wednesday, Bulldogs Women put in an inspiring effort in scrappy, neversay-die fashion in action in Toronto, but could not overcome superior numbers and size of their Toronto opponents.

Bulldogs lost 44-24 to a large, determined Nomads side at Fletcher’s Field in Victoria Square, north of Toronto, in the first game of the Intermediate Cup. Tries for Bulldogs from Abby Refausse, Jess Hercus, Emilie Merilainen and Maddy Wood. Lauryn Bons potted two converts.

The women travel to Toronto’s Fletcher’s to face London St. George in the last game of the Intermediate Cup competition.

Bulldogs Senior Men won a close contest Saturday in TRU action against Cobourg Saxons in the late match Saturday, taking a nail-biter 45-37 in a high-scoring, see-saw affair. The Dogs were down 17-0 at the half but, despite having been issued four yellow cards by referee Scott Clarence, the Bulldogs scrambled back to beat the Saxons. Scoring details were unavailable.

The men travel to Toronto to take on league leading York Yeomen Saturday.

Nothing funny about prank that spooked horse, hurt teen girl

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Stirling – Who would purposely spook a horse and hurt a teenaged girl?

A Stirling-area family is baffled by that question, after 15-year-old Megan Settatree was injured in what seems to be a cruel prank that occurred on Baptist Church Road Sunday.

Megan was riding with her six-year-old Paso Fino horse, Serafina, at about 5 p.m. on Sunday. She said she was riding south along the right side of the road near the Eggleton Cemetery, when a red truck with four young men came along. The car swerved to the side and a passenger took out a blow horn and made a loud noise to spook the horse, she said. “She went sideways and I went the other way.”

Megan landed on the pavement and later went to Campbellford Memorial Hospital where she was treated for a fractured rib. She also now has a massively swollen cheek.

On Monday, she and Serafina were back on their feet and doing as well as could be expected.

But, the incident shocked her and her grandparents, Bob and Sandra Blakney, who are caring for Megan this summer while her parents are working in Bermuda.

Baptist Church Road is a beautiful, rural road, full of good homes and neighbours, just east of the village of Stirling and not far from Belleville and Quinte West.

It’s common to see people riding on horses in the area, the Blakneys say, and crimes such as this are rare.

About five minutes before the incident, Megan had been knocked off the horse when Serafina was spooked by another vehicle ¬– a blue truck, Megan said.

In that case, the incident may have been accidental, but a result of careless driving, The family isn’t sure if the blue truck incident was related to the red-truck incident.

They reported the incidents to the Quinte West OPP, the police unit that covers the area.

A call the investigating officer seeking comment on this story wasn’t immediately returned. There was no official release on the incident on the OPP’s news-

wire on Monday. telling the culprits how dangerously close they came that their granddaughter wasn’t more seriously hurt.

The Blakneys wanted to speak publicly about the to seriously injuring a young girl and her horse.

“Even if they don’t get caught, maybe they’ll beincident in hopes that it helps police catch the suspects They hope it will teach people the consequences come aware of what they did,” said Sandra. “Maybe and in the hope that the story reaches them, possibly of spooking a horse and say they’re most fortunate this will save another kid’s life.”

Homeless study to be launched in area

BY JACK EVANS

An “enumeration” of the homeless problem throughout the Quinte area will be the next major step to deal with the problem, the county Community and Human Services Committee agreed last week following a recommendation from staff and the provincial government.

The study, to be funded by the province, will be conducted starting early next year, with a report expected next fall, said Erin Rivers, department director.

The provincial document states that such enumerations shall be conducted “every two years with consistent data collection.”

Rivers’ department has identified that the program should apply to Belleville, Quinte West, Madoc and Bancroft to meet the province’s criteria.

The committee also considered a renewed effort for improved affordable early childhood care. Hastings County operated its own child care program for many years, closing it down within recent years. Now

the province is seeking an all-Ontario early childhood program operated through municipalities. While details remain to be worked out, including whether the service can be contracted to private operators, the committee endorsed the proposal. The budgeted costs for the study are $1,423,538, already provided by the province.

The committee was also told that placements under the Ontario Works Program show a sharp increase in recent weeks.

Celebrating 68 Years!

BY JACK EVANS

Bancroft – Despite being written off as a “ghost town” many years ago after the close of several uranium mining operations, this town has bounced back tremendously.

Key evidence of that is the huge success of tourism and a large part of that picture is the annual Bancroft Gemboree, which the town has parlayed into the largest show of its kind in Canada.

Held on the Civic Holiday weekend, this year’s show, despite threatening and rainy weather, surpassed all previous attendance levels even before its second day on Saturday, reported an excited Greg Webb, manager of the Bancroft and District Chamber of Commerce. The chamber spearheads the annual show, now past its 50th year. It was Sunday, the last day and the crowds were still coming on strong. Apart from the annual Gemboree, the town has also established itself as a retirement community and yearround tourist destination for hunting, fishing and other. One might say, Bancroft’s economy is now “rock solid.”

Back to the Gemboree: with ore and gem specimens, jewellery from precious metals, polished stone samples and amazing fossils, some of huge size, this show involves hues and colours of all shades, tons of samples and materials, and many dozens of vendors of same from all over North America, taking up all the floor space in the town’s spacious arena plus another large building just down the road plus outdoor displays.

Stones of every hue of the rainbow filled the aisles in the Bancroft Arena for the annual Gemboree recently.

Jack Evans/Metroland.

On Sunday, the last day, many vendors were offering discounts.

But that only goes so far.

“How flexible are you?” asked one curious browser. “How flexible are YOU?,” shot back the seasoned vendor. Besides the display sites, business was booming through the downtown core, including Bancroft’s new micro brewery being served at the long-established Bancroft Hotel, plus point of origin sales from a building at the back.

One popular feature was a free stone assessment service by qualified personnel from the Royal Ontario Museum.

Visitors were bringing in samples from around the province, most of

which proved to be common mica or otherwise nondescript stones.

Tony Steede, the gem and stone expert using a lighted magnifying glass, was having a busy afternoon.

“Most of the stones are quite common,” he said, “but I did see one or two unusual specimens, including a fossilized piece of tree from the banks of the Ottawa River.”

The festival also includes lectures and games plus tours of potential gem stone mining sites for amateur prospectors to seek and find. Webb said that despite the dire weather forecast, “We had more than 100 people sign up for that.”

Tweed man dead, murder charge laid

Rinaldi to run again for MPP in 2018

Port Hope — Liberal MPP Lou Rinaldi will run again in June of 2018.

With the Port Hope Community Health Centre serving as a backdrop, Rinaldi announced his intention to run as the Liberal candidate for the new Northumberland-Peterborough South riding.

The decision was born out of a passion for the job, Rinaldi told supporters gathered for a recent announcement.

“Every day I wake up and I love what I do. For me that is what made my decision to run again so easy,” said Rinaldi.

As a new riding, Rinaldi said he will miss the friends he has made in Quinte West but looks forward to meeting new people in Peterborough and Clarington. Clarington Coun. Wendy Partner came forward to support

Rinaldi. Port Hope Mayor Bob Sanderson offered a gift of running shoes at the announcement.

Rinaldi said he has the experience to be a voice for Northumberland-Peterborough South.

When he was first elected in 2003, Port Hope had just lost its hospital and he worked to get the Port Hope Community Health Centre opened to serve the area, he said. But there is still more work to do. Rinaldi said he wants to continue to work on health care and jobs. He would like to help implement plans such as the OHIP Plus and free tuition to low income families to local communities.

Rinaldi has served for more than 25 years in government. He started as a councillor in Brighton in 1992 and went on to serve as Mayor of Brighton from 2000 to 2003. He served two consecutive terms as Northumberland-Quinte West MPP from 2003 to 2011 and then

again from 2014 to the present.

The Northumberland-Peterborough South Provincial Liberal Association president Jon Tondeur said in a news release he was delighted Rinaldi is running again.

“Lou has been a tireless supporter for our riding and has always put his passion for public service and advocacy first,” said Tondeur.

Rinaldi is straightforward, caring and committed to the community, said Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne in a news release.

While no formal announcement has been made for the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario candidate, David Piccini has announced he is seeking the nomination for the riding. There has been no formal announcements for the provincial NDP or Green party.

Driver badly injured in early morning collision on Highway 401

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Brighton – A motorist suffered life-threatening injuries in an early morning collision Monday on Highway 401 that closed all westbound lanes between Brighton and Colborne.

Northumberland OPP said the driver of the 2000 Pontiac and its other occupant, a female passenger who received minor injuries, were transported by paramedics to hospital.

The man was subsequently airlifted to a Toronto-area trauma centre.

The westbound lanes remain closed to traffic at the County Road 30 exit and the Colborne exit while OPP technical traffic collision investigators and reconstructionists conduct their investigation into what occurred near mile marker 501 around 6:30 a.m.

Updates will be provided as information becomes available.

Open Doors for Heritage Belleville

Teen arrested for stealing vehicles Stirling – A 14-year-old boy was arrested for stealing vehicles here recently.

The Stirling-Rawdon Police Service said on Friday, Aug. 11, that a youth had been arrested for two thefts of motor vehicles in Stirling this summer.

On Wednesday, Aug. 2, members of the SRPS recovered a stolen motor vehicle in a field west of the village.

A 14-year-old boy was arrested at the scene.

Police believe the same youth also was respon-

sible for another motor vehicle theft in June.

SRPS Constable Scott Burke said the youth’s identity is protected by the Youth Criminal Justice Act, and that these incidents will be dealt with through the Restorative Justice Diversion program.

This program is for youths between the ages of 12 and 17 at the time of the alleged offense.

It is intended to be an alternative approach outside the traditional court system.

Heritage Belleville is inviting the public to celebrate the city of Belleville’s new renovated downtown core, showcasing “200 years of our rich heritage together, as we salute Canada’s 150 Birthday. Watch for all the exciting sites to be an-

nounced very soon,” said Heritage Belleville’s Jeremy Davis. Admission to all the Doors Open Belleville sites is free on Saturday, Sept. 16 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more Information contact Jeremy T. Davis Media Relations, Heritage Belleville 613-

TRAVEL

A day trip to unique Perth in Lanark County A pleasant drive to the east on highway #7 took me past Sharbot Lake and Silver Lake to the beautiful, unique town of Perth, Ontario. It’s located southwest of Ottawa, in Lanark County, and on the Tay River.

I’d decided to spend a day checking out some of its attractions, for I’d often driven through it, and I thought that it was now time to spend some quality time there. I knew that it was historically important, for it was established as a military settlement back in 1816 (it soon became known as the “Perth Military Settlement”), and its downtown core area of boutiques and specialty shops still today primarily operates out of well looked after century-old stone buildings. However, I also discovered that Perth offers the visitor several other unique attractions.

While in the downtown core, one of my first pleasant discoveries was that the parking was free – and that there was a large, beautiful greenspace right there (Stewart Park). I soon learned that Stewart Park had been donated to the town back in 1947, and it was to be a place to escape from the hustle and bustle, relax, perhaps have a picnic lunch, and simply enjoy the glorious flower gardens and the river. It has become one of the town’s most distinctive landmarks, and free concerts are performed there on Thursday evenings during the summer months. There’s also an annual Stewart Park Music Festival each July – and it’s free! This beautiful, tranquil park is now also the home of a life-sized statue of world show jumping champion Ian Millar and his beloved horse, Big Ben. Since I mentioned music already, I feel that I need to talk about the Perth Citizens Band, for it’s Canada’s oldest active town band. This group still gives concerts, a tradition that dates back well over a hundred years. Apparently the Perth Citizens Band even played “The Maple Leaf Forever” back in 1893, when the town’s Mammoth Cheese departed from Perth for the Chicago

World’s Fair.

The Mammoth Cheese had been an attempt to publicize Canadian cheddar and increase its popularity – and it worked! A group of Lanark cheese makers had been invited to participate in the creating of this gigantic cheese that would be exhibited at the Chicago World’s Fair. It was apparently made from the milk of 10,000 cows, and it weighed 22,000 pounds. It was 28 feet in circumference and 6 feet high. It was housed in a freight shed in Perth throughout the winter months – and was visited by several dignitaries, including Cabinet Ministers and the Governor General, before it departed, by rail, for the World’s Fair. Once it arrived in Chicago, the Mammoth Cheese crashed through the floor, and it had to be placed on reinforced concrete in the Agriculture Building!

A full size replica of this Mammoth Cheese is now on display in Perth, so I, of course, had to check out this unique sculpture for myself (it’s located on the former site of the Perth Railway Station). While there, I also found an ad for the town’s annual Kilt Run, which takes place each June. This tradition was the town’s attempt to come up with a unique way to celebrate Perth, Scotland’s 800th birthday, so Perth, Ontario introduced an 8 km. kilt run in 2010.

This proved to be so popular that it has continued and grown. It’s now known as “Perth’s World Record Kilt Run”, with over 2,000 participants, all wearing kilts (and, yes, it’s now an official Guinness World Record!).

While in downtown Perth, I’d also recommend checking out the Perth Museum and the Perth Town Hall. Both are National Historic Sites, and both are located on Gore Street East. The former is in the 1840 Matheson House (he was a wealthy merchant and a senator in Canada’s first parliament), and the latter was built in 1863 (with its unique clock tower landmark) and is still used by the town council to this very day. I also found a nearby plaque for the Rideau Trail system, for Perth is on this impressive 400 km. hiking route be-

tween Ottawa and Kingston. Near the downtown core is also the Links O’Tay Golf Course, said to be “Canada’s oldest continuously operating golf course” (built in 1890).

Perth is also home to Canada’s oldest pioneer burial ground, the old Methodist Burying Ground (on Robinson Street). It contains many historic graves that date back into the early 1800s, so I also decided to check this site out, too.

It’s located near Last Duel Park, which is yet another unique Perth attraction, for the last fatal duel in Upper Canada took place there on June 13, 1833. Two young men, former friends, partook in a duel to the death over a woman (Elizabeth Hughes), and the winner eventually married her (but it didn’t end particularly well).

Perth is home to many important historic buildings, and it’s also the site of several unique attractions. It’s definitely worth a day trip!

Public Health concerned with presence of fentanyl in area

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Multiple overdoses caused by strong opioid drugs have taken place in the region over the past several days, says Hastings Prince Edward Public Health.

The news confirms that contaminated drugs are in the area and has prompted health officials to warn residents to take precautions.

In a statement issued Aug. 3, Public Health said that, “over the past several months, local authorities have confirmed that many street drugs are being cut with high potency opioids, which are very likely to include fentanyl.”

The local presence of illicit fentanyl has the potential to significantly increase the risk and rate of fatal overdoses because most people are unaware of the presence of illicit fentanyl in street drugs, Public Health says. Also, there is no control over the purity or quality of bootleg fentanyl. And, perhaps most importantly, an amount as small as 1 grain of salt can be fatal.

In an interview Stephanie McFaul, a program manager for Public Health, said that recently, in the span of two days, five overdoses were reported in the area. This information is gleaned from hospital emergency room data and cannot account for any overdoses that were treated in a person’s home and went unreported.

While Public Health does not endorse drug use, it recognizes that some people will inevitably choose to use drugs, and therefore it focuses its messages on ensuring people use drugs safely, McFaul explained.

She stressed that it’s important for people who choose to use drugs to not use them alone, understand the nature of the drug they’re using, and understand their tolerance level.

They should also be aware of the signs of overdose, and should have access to a Naloxone kit, which are available from Public Health and from participating pharmacies.

Individuals having an opioid overdose will have one or more of the following signs or symptoms: the person is unresponsive or doesn’t wake up easily, breathing is slow or not present, nails and lips are blue, the body is limp, the person is choking or throwing up, the person is making gurgling or snoring sounds, and the skin is cold and clammy.

An overdose is a medical emergency – even if the user has a kit present, McFaul stressed. Anyone that suspects or witnesses an overdose should call 911, administer Nal-

oxone/Narcan Kits (Lifesaver Kits), and stay with the person and wait for paramedics to arrive.

Free Naloxone (overdose reversal) kits are available to current and past opioid users, as well as the family and friends of current or previous users.

McFaul acknowledged that the presence of fentanyl in the area is scary because it can kill a person so easily – even a first-time user.

However, the Public Health industry takes the matter seriously and is making efforts to ensure those who use drugs get the help they need.

Since introducing the Naloxone kit program in the fall of 2016, Public Health staff have distributed about 160 kits. Nurses there are trained in how to teach people to use the kit effectively and can give a free tutorial. The small kits also have simple step-by-step instructions.

For more information call Public Health at 613-9665500 or visit hpepublichealth.ca for more information on the Narcan/Nasal Spray (Lifesaver) overdose reversal kits and training.

Also call 1-800-565-8603 or visit Ontario.ca for a list of pharmacies where you can get a free Naloxone injectable kit.

Peterborough - While a site is being cleared for Peterborough’s new casino, questions loom about what’s happening to the old building for Shorelines Slots.

Kawartha Downs general manager Orazio Valente says he’s still planning what to do with the building in Fraserville.

He adds no one has approached Kawartha Downs about “alternate uses” for the site which has a racetrack, restaurant and large slots area, plus offices.

Valente says he’s hoping to announce something in the

autumn but he’s not ready to say anything yet.

“We’re starting to form contingency plans,” he explains. “There’s not much I can probably share with you now.”

The gaming and racing centre opened on July 22, 1972 and has been home to slot machines, harness racing, as well a paved speedway for cars. The current building was added to the site in the late 1990s.

At the gaming site at 3:30 p.m. on a weekday, nearly every other machine was occupied. The main room was still filled with 500 slots machines, with many of the gamblers be-

ing seniors.

In April 2016, Shorelines announced it was planning to move from its location in Cavan Monaghan Township to a new facility in Peterborough on Crawford Drive.

Allan Seabrooke, the city’s chief administrative officer, says work has begun at the new site and the ground is currently being cleared. A groundbreaking ceremony is likely to occur in August.

He says the anticipated opening date is planned for the third quarter of 2018.

“It really depends on weather and how long it takes to construct the building itself,” he adds.

The Good Earth

If it ain’t mulched, it ain’t much

By Dan Clost The heat has arrived. We can adjust our environmental experiences by a flip of a switch, a change of location, a sip of a cooling beverage; in short, we can respond to our surroundings to ensure our maximum comfort.

While plants also employ a variety of means to keep themselves as cool as necessary, they don’t

have the luxury of movement. They’re rooted to the spot. It is our responsibility as the gardeners who put them there to ensure their well-being.

[Dan on the soapbox: While I fully understand, Gentle Reader, that plants are not people, they represent the resources of our planet and it is our obligation to husband them as best we can. We are privileged to be gardeners, to have the riches, the time and the wherewithal to pursue gardening as an enjoyable diversion. Yes, gardening can be an essential therapy; but for the most part, it is merely our hobby, no matter how passionate we might engage in it. Take time to consider how your plant, whether a petunia or a maple, came to be in your possession.

Think of the resources used to grow and transport it, the impact its production has on the global environment, on the social and economic communities in which it was grown and the ongoing consumption of resources required to sustain it. That’s quite the heavy philosophical load to drop on you, GR, especially when all you wanted to do was look at pretty flowers in your garden. However, we’re all in this together and this is just one of the avenues we can travel together as we walk softly on this good earth which sustains us. Dan clambers off the pedestal.]

In our gardens, it is the heat in the soil with which we are most concerned. We know bare soil accumulates heat more quickly than covered ground (by a plant canopy, a shade-casting structure or mulch.)

Moisture will be used more quickly by the plant as well as evaporate at a more rapid rate. The hot soil can seriously damage or kill the organisms in the duff layer (top inch or so) and the rhizosphere

(root zone) which make up the living elements in the surface layer (aka organic layer and A-horizon.)

We’re just scratching the surface here, GR, so while those terms are essentially correct some soil boffins might be want to get down into the nitty-gritty.

Also, quoting from a grass study, “High soil temperatures generally increase the respiration rate in roots, which might cause carbohydrate starvation and root dieback.”

So, we have many reasons to keep soil covered.

The best way is to provide that coverage with a plant canopy. IN the spring, without the cover, the cold of winter can be melted away by allowing full solar access to bare ground. As the plants grow, their leaves will shade the soil and the root zone will stay nice and cool. Optimum levels are between 10˚C -18˚C. However many of our gardens are not planted

chock-a-block and these are the areas upon which we must place our focus; the areas upon which we must place our mulch.

There are many different types of mulch and I’ll leave it to you to decide which you prefer. Remember, for this application, our primary goal is to moderate soil temperatures. Any other benefit is a plus. For our gardens, I prefer to use shredded pine bark mulch. It is readily available, relatively cheap, easy to handle, perfect for acid-loving plants, a natural by-product, smells nice; and, returns organic matter to the soil. Shredded cedar mulch is an alternate for areas where a neutral or basic soil is required. Stay away from “enhanced mulch products” unless someone can tell you exactly what is in them.

Take a stroll around your estate to see if mulching is warranted.

Inspection worries county home officials

BY JACK EVANS

Belleville - Provincial inspectors found a few flaws in Hastings County’s Belleville seniors home in a recent inspection, Debbie Rollins, director of long-term care, reported to her committee meeting last week.

“We knew the inspectors were coming but we thought it was a one-day quick check, instead they were here for four full days and implemented a new environmental program as well,” Rollins said. She quickly added that the inspection was amicable and pos-

itive, but a few flaws were noted which, she feared, might cause some concern with the public.

But, when the provincial inspectors were shown the county’s plans and committed budgets for necessary upgrades, they were satisfied. New flooring, for instance, is already in this year’s budget and will be addressed before the year ends. She said the inspection’s final tally was “six notices,” but all are covered in the county’s three-year plan.

The inspectors were also satisfied with staff co-operation, she said.

There were also notices concerning staff “for not following plans of care and ensuring all fall safety measures are in place.” Those notices were immediately addressed, the committee heard. Staff have also been given updated instructions for prompt reporting of any and all cases of abuse, including suspected cases.

She described the inspection as “very detailed,” and although it may appear to be a problem, because of the notices, “I don’t’ think council has anything to worry about,” Rollins said.

County opposes firefighter as paramedics

In urban centres, firefighters are dispatched to most all emergency medical calls. Not so in rural areas of Hastings County for volunteer firefighters and that’s just the way most municipalities want it to remain.

There’s no doubt, county emergency services committee members heard at their regular meeting, that many firefighters have qualifications as emergency medical assistants. Changes in provincial legislation allow for ambulance calls to be augmented with firefighters properly trained in emergency medical qualifications and that system is used in cities like Belleville and urban Quinte West in Trenton.

But, Hastings County and a number of other rural councils are not interested in pursuing this, despite proposed changes to Ontario’s Ambulance Act. The bottom line is just that, the bottom line and the cost associated with having volunteer firefighters reimbursed for being dispatched to rural medical calls.

The issue drew serious concerns when it first came to council several weeks ago in a notice. A draft form of the changes is now before municipalities. The law suggests pilot projects to test the concept in rural areas. But, the Quinte Emergency Medical Services plus county staff are concerned that it could result in sharply increased costs for such assistance with little or no improvement in case outcomes. Those costs could involve litigation if there were any concerns about such outcomes by less qualified personnel, Department Chief Doug Socha told his committee last week. But he and staff welcome some other changes in the act, especially an improved dispatch system

which emergency units have been advocating for some time. Another one is taking patients who qualify because of non-serious injuries to clinics or other treatment centres rather than hospital emergency rooms to save overloading those services, and perhaps long distances in transportation. Such authorized points remain to be identified and spelled out in the legislation, Socha noted, but it would be a progressive step, he contended.

Socha also drew the committee’s attention to a sharp increase in overall caseloads, plus in calls to transfer patient between hospitals, which tie up units and staff away from regular duties.

The committee also endorsed a resolution from South Algonquin Township calling for an ambulance service for their entire area, which also includes Algonquin Park as a non-organized area.

Deadly 401 crash; Newcastle, Guelph men named as deceased Port Hope – Police have released the names of two men killed during a fiery multi-vehicle crash on Thursday, Aug. 3.

In an update, Wednesday, Aug. 9, police reported the men killed in the collision have been positively identified as 26-year-old Newcastle resident Todd Gardiner and Michael Glazier, 35, of Guelph.

“Both deceased were travelling together in a Chevy pickup truck at the time of the collision,” said Northumberland OPP Cst. Tanya Royall in the update Wednesday. “Two other drivers involved in the collision were transported to an area hospital for non-life threatening injuries.”

The investigation into the collision is ongoing, say police.

On Aug. 3, just after 10 p.m., police, fire and paramedics responded to the multivehicle crash on the eastbound lanes of Highway 401, just east of County Road 28. An eastbound tractor-trailer had reportedly collided with two other eastbound passenger vehicles, which resulted in a fire and consumed three vehicles.

Names of the deceased were initially withheld pending next of kin notification.

Metroland’s Northumberland News reported drivers were slowing down for construction on the highway, when the transport truck collided with the two vehicles.

remained on the scene of the crash over night and shut down the highway, from Toronto Road in Port Hope, to Burnham Street in Cobourg for several hours as they investigated.

The westbound lanes of the highway were also closed due to poor visibility caused by smoke, until just before 2 a.m., Friday, Aug. 4.

The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) had to complete repairs to the surface of the highway Friday, before the remaining lanes re-opened for eastbound travel and the on-ramps at Toronto Road and County Road 28 were re-opened.

All lanes finally re-opened around 4 p.m. Friday.

Northumberland OPP thanks the public for their patience during the road closure.

“The decision to close a road is not taken lightly and we recognize the significant impact on personal and commercial traffic that is causes,” said Royall in a previous statement. “However public safety, officer safety and the safety of our partners working are the main considerations when deciding to close a road.”

Possible future involvement in

County seeks new official plan input

BY JACK EVANS

worship support committee may be involved. “Our services are in a traditional style, emphasizing reverence and quality of music in worship,” said a spokesman for St. Andrew’s. Interested individuals should contact Barry Birkett at bbirkett@yahoo.com to arrange an interview, and should be willing to start early in the fall.

As promised to county council at recent meetings, the Hastings Planning Department is moving ahead on public consultation on a draft for a new county official plan.

A series of public consultations opens Monday, Aug. 28 at the Highlands of Hastings Municipal Office in Maynooth, from 9:30 a.m.to noon, followed by one at the Dungannon Recreation Center, L’Amable, on Aug.

30 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

On Thursday, Aug. 31, the consultation is from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. though 8 p.m. at the Tyendinaga Recreation Centre, Shannonville, then at the Township of Madoc Municipal Hall, 15651 Highway 62 on Tuesday Sept. 5 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Warden Rodney Cooney also has announced a new web page dedicated to information on the proposed new plan, which is already up and running in hopes of stimulating public interest and comment.

“Significant work has gone into this plan and we look forward to receiving valuable input from members of our community,” commented the warden.

The plan will be a key document in shaping future growth in the county over the next two to three decades, he noted, so it is important for people to be involved. Input may include physical growth, infrastructure needs,

conservation of natural resources and cultural heritage. Copies of the plan are also available at the county offices in Belleville or on line from the new Hastings County web page: www. hastingscounty.com.

Give your children a lifetime of

confidence

Confidence comes from feeling good about yourself – your skills, your intelligence, and your appearance. Children with crooked, gapped and overlapping teeth are often teased by their peers, leading them to hide their smile – and their true personality.

Dr. Julianne Peterson can transform your child’s smile into one that is straight, beautiful and healthy. Call our office at 613-969-8822 for your orthodontic consultation today.

The family of DAVID DOWN

wish to extend a sincere thank you to all of our relatives, neighbours and friends who provided so much love and support during a very difficult time.

Words cannot fully express how much your visits, kind words and shared stories have meant to us.

In addition to those neighbours who provided immediate assistance at the accident site, we wish to acknowledge the quick and professional response of the Brighton Fire Department, Northumberland Paramedics and OPP Northumberland Detachment; the care and guidance of the Wooler United Church, Reverend Kathy Edmison and Weaver Funeral Homes, and the help with the funeral lunch provided by volunteers from the Codrington Community Centre and Codrington Women’s Institute. We also want to thank everyone who donated to McPhail’s Cemetery and Farmtown Park in David’s memory.

Finally, a very heartfelt thankyou is necessary for those special friends of David who honoured him with a tractor parade.

“What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead” Nelson Mandela Thank you all for confirming that David’s life was a life well lived.

Fight the Bite: Lyme and West Nile are real threats

BY FRANCES TSOTSOS

Mention ‘West Nile’ 20 years ago, and it may have been as part of a conversation on African geography. Today, we know ‘West Nile’ as a virus spread by the bite of infected mosquitoes.

Originally ‘discovered’ in 1937 in the West Nile district of Northern Uganda (hence its name), the virus first appeared in North America in 1999. Today, West Nile virus is firmly established across the continent.

West Nile virus demonstrates how small our world has become in recent years. Diseases once isolated to one part of the globe can now quickly spread – especially with the extent of worldwide

travel.

Climate change is also creating conditions where diseases can flourish in places they never did before.

Take Lyme disease. Lyme is spread by the bite of an infected blacklegged tick (or deer tick). Because of favourable climate conditions, the population of blacklegged ticks is expanding into more areas of Ontario, leading to a rise in Lyme disease cases.

Both West Nile virus and Lyme disease are considered ‘vector-borne’ diseases.

This means a living organism (or ‘vector’) bites and spread the illness to people.

Because of climate change, ‘vectors’ like mosquitoes and ticks can expand their

range – and their ability to spread disease.

We see this in the spread of Zika virus in parts of Central and South America.

Although the mosquito that transmits Zika is not currently present in Canada, it’s expected that climate change will eventually increase this mosquito’s geographic range, potentially putting more people at risk.

Thankfully, there is a tried and true remedy for dealing with diseases spread by ‘vectors’ like mosquitoes and ticks. It’s a health message we have been hearing for years – fight the bite – and it provides ways to reduce our risk: • Cover up: Applying insect repellent or bug spray containing DEET on

clothes and exposed skin can keep pests at bay. Clothing also offers an important layer of protection. When possible, wear light-coloured, long-sleeved clothing to keep bugs out and make them easier to spot. On hikes, wear closed-toe shoes, tuck pants into socks and stay on the centre of trails and paths.

• Clean up: Maintaining property is another good deterrent. To reduce mosquito-breeding areas, remove any standing water outdoors that mosquitoes could use to lay their eggs. Keep brushes and shrubs clear of overgrowth and debris. For ticks, keep grass mowed short, and trim bushes and tree branches to let in sunlight.

• Check up: After being outdoors, we should always check ourselves for bites. Swipe away any mosquitoes that are trying to bite. For ticks, check the entire body for bites. If noticing a tick, promptly and properly remove it from the skin to prevent infection – then clean the bite site with rubbing alcohol or soap/ water. If a tick has been feeding for more than 24 hours, seek medical attention.

• Call up: Get more prevention tips by contacting the Health Unit toll-free at 1-866-888-4577 or visiting www.hkpr. on.ca.

New Festival Players season off to great start

(Advertorial Feature)

ANNOUNCEMENT

BY JACK EVANS

HTM Insurance Company held a very successful grand opening of their new office building on Thursday July 13th, 2017. Many people from all around gathered to celebrate the expansion of HTM on the Thursday afternoon, with live music, lunch and cake.

There was a ribbon cutting ceremony to commence the official opening of the new building, cut by Bruce Buttar, Chairman of the Board of Directors for HTM. Also present was Cobourg Mayor Gil Brocanier, Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi, town crier Mandy Robinson.

The company began in 1898 as Hamilton Township Farmers’ Mutual Fire Insurance Company and for the last thirty-five years, their office was located on Division Street by the 401 in the Town of Cobourg. As of May 2017, they moved into a new home, still in Cobourg, but now located on the corner of Elgin Street West and Wilkins Gate.

There were a number of big decisions the board had to make with regards to this project. One of them was location. Not just where in Cobourg, but whether Cobourg was the place to build. HTM’s new community has so much to offer businesses and their employees.

The new office will help retain and attract employees by providing a dynamic and modern facility that promotes productivity, health and vitality. HTM is very community minded so it incorporated a large community room that will be provided to non-profit groups for their meetings at no charge.

CEO and President of HTM, Alec Harmer states in his speech about the new building, “It is a symbol of what HTM is and will continue to be…modern and bold.” HTM is very happy with the tremendous support they have received from all around and look forward to their future in the new building.

Literature experts claim Shakespeare’s Sir John Falstaff in “Henry IV Part 1” is one of the most comedic figures in English literature. Bottom, the large economy-sized tradesman in “Midsummer Night’s Dream” can’t be too far behind, especially as played

by Bruce Dow with this summer’s production by the Festival Players of Prince Edward County.

Barely into its run through Aug. 27, the show has been drawing large audiences and plenty of laughter.

When Bottom and a few of his lowbred friends decide to become actors, Bottom wants to play all the parts.

Some of his friends suffer stage fright. But that’ only a small part of this amusing comedy and fantasy romance, involving love potions, fairies, enchanted forest and squabbling young lovers.

Founded by Wellington resident John Burns more than 10 years ago, the festival has now established itself as prime summer entertainment.

But this is the first time it has offered Shakespeare, and this play is an excellent choice with its comedy and romantic intrigues. Imagine, for instance, a beautiful fairy queen, enamoured of a donkey-headed braying Bottom, thanks to a spell cast by her estranged husband, King Oberon (Connor Thompson, who also plays Theseus, Duke of Athens.) The Fairy Queen, Titania (Anna Hardwick)

This aerial view shows the proximity of the festival tent to the Lake Ontario shoreline.

also plays challenging double roles as the Duke’s wife- to- be, Hippolyta.

A young couple in love, Hermia and Lysander seek to thwart Hermia’s father’s plans to betroth her to Demetrius, who is hopelessly pursued

by Helena despite his protestations.

The actors also sing and play instruments, including a garbage bucket percussion line and keyboard for Dow as bottom, with original music and songs. Typically Shakespearean coarse humour can be experienced at several points. The performance tent is set up just behind Wellington United Church, like the Stratford stage, audience surrounding the large stage,and the site, just a few feet away from the lakeshore, offers the lulling surf on the shore as background sound.

Opening this week is the season’s second major play, another comedy, “Stones in His Pocket,” about a theatre group taking over a small town in Ireland for a show with plenty of dissension and confusion with local residents.

The third play, “Mary’s Wedding,”opens Aug. 15.

Matinee times for “Midsummer Nights’s Dream” are limited: Aug. 18, Aug. 20,Aug. 26 and 27 at 2p.m.

Regular evening performances are over by 10 p.m. A wine bar is available for all performances.

Other activities with the festival offer the public a chance to take part is cold readings of scripts and theatre workshops for teens and adults Visit the festival website: www.festivalplayers.ca for full details and tickets.

One man show ‘Rosewood’ draws full houses

BY JACK EVANS

Quinte West - “This Is Rosewood – Tales from the Tavern,” drew full houses to the Old Church Theatre for both Saturday and Sunday performances last weekend. The play is a masterful piece of work by widelyknown Quinte area thespian Rick Zimmerman, written by Belleville playwright Peter Paylor.

Program notes state: “Rosewood is every small town. It’s the town you grew up in or knew someone from or maybe passed through on the way to someplace else. It’s the town where the main street is called Main Street and the barber and mayor are on a first name basis, unless of course, the barber and the mayor are one and the same.”

That sets the stage for Zimmerman to take over and introduce himself as Stanley or Stan, a third-generation bartender who is being tempted to sell out to a large, New York City-based consortium planning a massive roadhouse.AS the only person on stage, he held the crowd in his hands for the full two hours of the show, except for an intermission. Rambling on as sometimes small town characters do, he talked about all the other Stanleys in the business community, the disruption of business from underground service repairs, whether and where he should buy another business, or even if he should take the generous offer

proposed. Finally, he recalls the glory year of the town’s Rosewood Rockets hockey game against a Russian team and the star being a large and talented local girl.

As he rummages through boxes of memorabilia trying to pack up, he keeps coming across memories of other events, especially a sweater his dad bought when they took a trip to California but couldn’t get into Disneyland.

There’s the mayor’s anxiety about missing out on people travelling on foot or bicycle across the county for charity causes and a man pushing a lawn mower be- Rick Zimmerman is a small town bartender recalling incidents of a mythical community in “This Is Rosewood - Tales from ing mistaken for one of the Tavern.”
