18 tenants forced out by fire officials in Tweed

By Brett Mann Tweed – Eighteen tenants of nine apartments above the Home Hardware store here were evacuated with only a few hours notice by order of the Ontario Fire Marshall.

The mass eviction at 310 Victoria St. on Friday, August 5 occurred after fire officials found serious issues relating to fire safety in the building.

A posted list of some of the fire code deficiencies include a lack of a separate escape stairway, absence of emergency lighting, insufficient or missing early detection equipment and selfclosing fire doors. Additionally one apartment is not separated from an electrical service room.

Following a meeting of the municipal ‘Core Control Group’, the following Monday, the Central Hastings/ Trent Hills News met with Tweed Mayor Jo-Anne Albert, Acting CAO/ Clerk Betty Gallagher, Fire Chief Derrick Little and Fire Protection Officer Sean Porter.

Chief Little reported that his department had done a “basic” fire inspection of the property about three weeks previous and “we found some deficiencies, some stuff that was not really life-threatening at that time … but we didn’t know how bad it was.”

The Tweed Fire Department contacted the Ontario Fire Marshall’s Office in Toronto which did “a complete inspection … we gained access to all the apartments and we found some more issues with the building that created a red flag for us that says this is a little more serious.” With the engineering expertise of the Fire Marshall’s Office, Little said officials “determined that we had a bigger problem. The next day … we knew we had to evacuate the building. We didn’t evacuate the building, we re-located the people.”

The Home Hardware store on the ground floor remained open.

Initial efforts to contact the landlord were unsuccessful but Chief Little spoke with a Home Hardware employee who phoned the building’s owner. “When it comes to a threat like this it [evacuation] just has to happen. We have to do the re-location immediately … it was not our choice to do it at 6 o’clock on a Friday night.

We didn’t want to inconvenience the people.”

Albert said municipal officials worked hard to help the tenants.

“During this period Betty (Gallagher) contacted the county,” said Albert. “We had the social services people here immediately, before the people even left the building.” Hastings County Social Services personnel worked on finding places for the displaced tenants and gave out cash and food vouchers.

“When I got here, they knew exactly how many rooms they had in each place they were going to send them,” said Albert. County social services only provides short term assistance in such cases. Most of the tenants have found alternate accommodations, said the mayor, but “two or three remain to be placed.”

“We hadn’t planned to evacuate the building but we found some problems that were life-threatening, and we’re here to look after the safety of all the citizens of Tweed,” added Little. Under a new mandate from the province every town in Ontario will be receiving similar inspections he noted.

The owners have hired a contractor and remediation efforts have begun and are proceeding “as quickly as possible,” said Little. The municipality went “above and beyond” what is technically required in helping the displaced tenants, said Little. Gallagher added that social service personnel “were here till 11 p.m. making sure all people had a place to stay.”

“We understand it is upsetting to people,” Albert remarked, saying so-

cial service workers were “amazed at how calm and accepting the tenants were, just happy that they had a place to go.”

Gary McCaughen, owner of the 100 year-old building, told Central Hastings/Trent Hill News, “I can’t say enough about the tenants and how bad we feel … we were totally caught

off guard and upset … Within 15 minutes I had contacted a reputable contractor and we’re doing what we can.” The apartments – which were created from the upper-floor space above the commercial ground floor 30 years ago – have to be brought up to 2016 standards and he’s not sure at this point when tenants will be able to

return. He is not happy with the way things unfolded and stated, “I am not a slum landlord … the system is unfair to landlords and tenants, that’s the long and the short of it.”

Two of the displaced tenants contacted by the Central Hastings/Trent Hills News were not willing to talk to a reporter about their experience.

Family safe after early morning house fire

By Sue Dickens Campbellford – A family is safe after an early morning house fire did extensive damage to their home with an on-site estimate by Trent Hills Fire Chief Tim Blake pegging the cost at about $200,000 “at least”.

Kathy Morningstar, who was in her home at 521 Hoards Church Road, at the time said, “The smoke alarm woke me up.” She tried to use a fire extinguisher initially. “The house was full of smoke and the fire wasn’t that big at the time but it went pretty quick.”

When she realized she couldn’t put it out she called 911.

“It’s an old house, more than 150 years old . . . The fire has to be electrical,” she commented. The family has been living in their home for the past 13 years.

Her husband and son were not in the house at the time.

The fire department received the 911 call at 6:30 a.m.

“The fire started back in the kitchen area,” said Chief Blake.

“We came to find the kitchen fully involved and the fire spread up to the attic.” He also noted that the department has been fighting several grass fires lately because of

the drought but commented that at this fire, “the grass was short and the fire was high,” so that was not an issue. He did call in the StirlingRawdon fire department for more manpower, “because of the heat.”

Two Trent Hills firefighters were transported to hospital “because of the heat” and both are reportedly in good condition. There was a total of 42 firefighters at the scene at one point along with four tankers, a pumper, about 12 fire vehicles altogether.

A tanker shuttle had to be set up and water was trucked in. The department also utilized a “dry hydrant” (that requires pumping of the water) at Hoards Station.

For Morningstar it was difficult standing looking at her home. She mentioned she had just taken some graduation photos that had been in the house out to the garage.

“I am kind of numb,” she said.

“However in the grand scheme of things, the animals and everybody got out and the rest of it is just stuff.”

The morning of the fire, friends were already phoning her offering the family a place to stay.

Firemen remained at the scene until well past noon to make sure any Firefighters with the Trent Hills Fire Department remained at the scene of a house fire at 521 Hoards Church Road for several hours after the blaze had been extinguished on what was a day of record-breaking heat. They stayed late just to make sure there were no hot spots. Photo by Sue Dickens and all hot spots were out.

Re: Burning Ban Municipality of Trent Hills The Trent Hills Municipalities Fire Services / In order to mitigate fire risk to the community due to the extended period of dry weather, a fire ban has been issued on all open-air fires including campfires, chimney fireplaces, fireworks and any other type of outdoor burning.

The full fire ban prohibits all open-air fires, including campfires in campgrounds or backcountry and random camping areas.

Portable propane fire pits, gas or propane stoves and barbeques designed for cooking or heating are permitted.

All fire permits are suspended or cancelled and no new fire permits will be issued.

The fire ban applies to all Trent Hills residents and visitors.

The ban comes as continuing hot, dry weather elevates the wildfire hazard to high, very high or extreme.

Hot, dry weather is forecasted to continue, threatening to further elevate wildfire hazard.

Any person(s) found burning during the ban will be charged, as per the Municipalities By-law on open-air burning and/or the Ontario Fire Code Tim Blake Fire Chief Municipality of Trent Hills Central Hastings Trent Hills News - Thursday, August 18, 2016

Trent Hills issues apology over sale of road allowance in Hastings

By John Campbell Trent Hills – The municipality has apologized to a Hastings resident for the way it handled the closure of an unopened road allowance.

The individual complained to the Office of the Ontario Ombudsman that the municipality had closed and sold a strip of land that abutted the south side of the resident’s property “without issuing notice to those affected property owners,� an investigator with the province‘s watchdog said in a letter to council and CAO Lynn Phillips.

According to Trent Hills’ own policy for closing a municipal road allowance, as set out on its website, the landowner on either side of a concession road allowance was to be contacted and given the opportunity to acquire half of the width of the road allowance.

Yvonne Heggie said her review found the procedure as published online “was not followed,� and that a report to council from the planning department in 2014 had “incorrectly stated� that notice of the proposed road allowance had been provided to the property owners on either side of the allowance in addition to the eventual buyer. In fact, the municipality acknowledged to the Ombudsman‘s office that the unidentified complainant had not been specifically notified nor given the opportunity to purchase. Instead, it made use of a general notice in the local newspaper.

Heggie further determined that staff had also relied on a bylaw governing the sale of land surplus to the municipality that does not include procedures for closing a road allowance, and that the land had not been declared surplus in order to be sold.

She said Mayor Hector Macmillan, the CAO and the director of planning, Jim Peters, “acknowledged that the advertised road allowance closure procedures were not followed, were out of date and would be removed from its website to prevent similar issues from occurring in future.�

She noted that when the director of planning became aware of the property owner‘s concerns and contacted the purchaser of the road allowance “to try to facilitate a resolution ... [his] attempts to resolve the issue were unsuccessful� and that the municipality has indicated “it is not in a position to ‚undo‘ the sale of the property, which was finalized in September 2014.�

The mayor and planning director committed to developing a new bylaw which came before council for approval at its August meeting. The bylaw sets out a precise process for closing and selling off municipal road allowances.

Macmillan and Peters also agreed to issue an apology to the property owner acknowledging the impact of the municipality not following its adopted procedures.

Macmillan said in an interview the problem lay with a previous policy being left on the website “that should not have been� there which the resident cited when filing a complaint with the Ombudsman. “So we corrected that,� he said. “The Ombudsman told us what to do and we did it.�

Central Hastings Family Health Team performs above Ontario average

By Diane Sherman Madoc - The board of directors for the Central Hastings Family Health Team (CHFHT) met in Madoc, Tuesday, August 9 to receive the audit from Collins Barrow accounting firm and hold elections.

The 2016 provincial grant totalled $1,172,704 with $1,499 unused at year end.

Libby Clarke continues as chair of the board, with Joan Turner vice-chair. Doctor Sue Dullege remains as lead physician.

A resolution to reduce the number of board members from 14 to 11 passed, with a section of the bylaw requiring three board members be appointed from healthcare providers of the FHT being removed.

Statistically, the performance of the CHFHT ranks above average in Ontario.

Patients up to date with cervical cancer screening is 72 per cent, 10 per cent above aver-

age with colon cancer screening 66 per cent, versus 58.5.

The percentage of patients getting seen within 24 hours is 74.3, far exceeding the average of 44.3, with all patients being seen within three days.

Patient surveys rank satisfaction with doctor-patient interaction, discussions about care and prompt appointments far higher than average.

Fewer patients had the flu shot this year which Dullege attributes to vaccines administered by pharmacists.

The team, though, is faced challenging constraints.

Most patients are older and poorer than average, with 51.6 per cent over the age of 50, and 79.3 per cent in the lowest income bracket, compared to Ontario averages of 37.2 and 38.1 per cent respectively. Â They are also faced with a rise in mental health patients, averaging 300, with 1,050 visits per year, and too few mental health services, and no additional funding to address the

need.

Some patients waited 4-6 months for specialist appointments until the team devised an early triage system, using a referral, pre-visit questionnaire and survey, so the counsellor can recommend a referral faster.

The first quarter of 2016 has seen 90 per cent of new mental health patients attended to within 10 working days.

Dullege commended the team for ongoing innovation in its departments, as they continue to meet to share ideas and plans to improve service with the help of Catherine Isaacs, a quality improvement support specialist.

Health centres in Madoc and Marmora provide services for patients assigned to a doctor within the CHFHT. A nurse practitioner sees patients Tuesday afternoons at the Gilmour medical clinic.

To apply for a family doctor contact Health Care Connect Lead physician Dr. Sue Dullege, Chair Libby Clarke and Vice-chair Joan Turner remain for another term with the Central Hastings at 1-800-445-1822.

OPINION

Female athletes’ time to shine

Is 2016 the New 1936?

Hegel remarks somewhere that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce. Karl Marx, 1852 We would all prea farce to a tragGwynne Dyer fer edy, so let us hope that Marx was right.

But he has been wrong a few times in the past, so we must entertain the possibility that what awaits us is tragedy.

The “first time”, in this instance, was the 1930s, when the painfully slow recovery from a global financial crash led to political polarisation, beggar-my neighbour trade wars, and the rise to power of anti-democratic, ultranationalist leaders in a number of countries.

The consequences included the Second World War, death camps, the first and only use of nuclear weapons, and forty years of Cold War. Well, we had our global financial crash in 2008, and the recovery has certainly been slow. Average incomes in many Western countries have still not recovered to pre-2008 levels, and the growth of nationalist and racist sentiment is evident in major countries like Britain (the Brexit vote), France (the rise of the National Front), and above all the United States (Trump).

The wave of non-violent democratic revolutions that transformed so many developing countries at the end of the Cold War ended with the failure of the “Arab Spring”, leaving a new dictatorship in Egypt and civil wars across the Middle East. In parts of Asia the process has even gone into reverse (military rule in Thailand, death squads run by populist elected governments in the Philippines and Indonesia).

Authoritarian, ultra-nationalist governments hostile to the European Union have come to power in post-Communist Eastern Europe (Fidesz in Hungary, the Law and Justice government in Poland). And a trade war is brewing between the United States and China no matter who wins the US election in November.

You could add to the list of worries a new ruler in China (Xi Jinping) who is more autocratic and readier to play the nationalist card than any other Chinese leader since Mao, and a Japanese prime minister (Shinzo Abe) who

promises to remove the anti-war clause from the constitution. Not to mention that addict to high-stakes international brinkmanship, Russia’s Vladimir Putin.

Quite a list, but does it really mean that we are back in 1936 (fascists in power in Germany, Italy and Japan, civil war in Spain, the Great Purge in the Soviet Union), with the catastrophe of global war just three years away?

Or is it just a grab-bag of local problems, failures and worries of the sort that are bound to exist in a world of almost 200 independent countries? Probably the latter.

Right- and left-wing parties are a legitimate and inevitable part of any democratic society, but they both tend to spin off or mutate into more extreme and paranoid versions of themselves in times of economic hardship. It is difficult to argue, however, that the times are really that bad at the moment.

Times are very hard in most developed countries for the old working class, who have been left behind by globalisation, and that is where most of the support for right-wing extremism comes from. But there really aren’t enough of them to take over the state: Trump will not win in November, the National Front will not win next year’s French election, and the Brexiteers in Britain – well, that remains to be seen.

The Middle East is a disaster area, of course, but it is a pretty isolated disaster area, apart from occasional small-scale terrorist outrages in Western countries. To live in fear of a world-wide Islamic caliphate is as delusional as to hope for it.

Democracy is not in retreat in Africa or Latin America, and the pluses and the minuses more or less balance out in Asia (military rule in Thailand and more authoritarian elected governments in the Philippines and Indonesia, but more democracy in Burma and Sri Lanka).

Nor should we see the triumph of a couple of ultra-nationalist parties in traditionally nationalist Eastern European countries as a sign of things to come in the rest of Europe.

This is not to say that the European Union will survive in the long term without major changes. We are going through a historic shift of the centre of gravity of the global economy from the North Atlantic world to Asia, and many things will have to change as a result.

It is possible that the United States and China might stumble into a military confrontation at some point: that risk is implicit in the kind of power shift that is underway in the early 21st century. But we are not on the brink of any great and awful calamity in the world. It is not 1936.

Editorial - Chris Malette It’s safe to say if you polled most Canadians just two weeks ago, few, if any could tell you who she is.

This week she’s a rock star Olympian athlete who’s gracing the covers of newspapers and magazines coast to coast and is leading a Valkyrie charge of fierce female competitors who are lighting it up in Rio. Oleksiak, as most who care about sport or how Canada is faring in the Olympics, is of course Canada’s only four medal-winner at these games. She struck gold in the women’s 100 metre freestyle sprint, making her the youngest Canadian gold medalist ever. American swimmer Simone Manuel made history that night last week in the Rio pool, too, becoming the first African American to medal in the pool.

Oleksiak’s four medals put her on even level with Victor Davis for the most won by a Canadian swimmer in the Summer Olympics, and give her the most by any Canadian at a single Summer Games. After tying for first in the 100-metre freestyle Thursday night, she became the first Canadian to win a gold medal in a swimming event since Mark Tewskbury in 1992.

But, there cannot be enough said about the strength of the female contingent of our games athletes. As with most everything about the inexorable fight for women to gain an equal footing for men in a world still coming to grips with the simple notion of equality, women have struggled to garner the funding for training for many decades previous to these games.

That has changed with a new strategy to identify medal contenders regardless of their gender and, seemingly to most of our collective surprise, women were pegged as representing our best chances to medal almost across the board.

Women athletes, it turns out, were targeted for success by their individual sports organization and by federal Own the Podium funding.

Not because of their gender, specifically, but because of intensely scrutinized medal potential as determined by their own records and the depth of field in their events.

“We knew that in the first week of the Games, there was a significantly higher percentage of medal potential for the women,” Anne Merklinger, CEO of Own the Podium, told The Toronto Star on Saturday.

“It was done pretty deliberately, working with the sports federations to target the best medal opportunities. In that sense, we’ve strategically targeted women’s events.’’

And as The Star’s Rosie DiManno noted in a

column on the phenomenon of the phenomenal impact women have made on our Games presence in Rio, the numbers are pretty impressive.

“Team Canada has a 60-40 gender split in Rio — 186 females, most ever, surpassing the 163 from London 2012, including women vying in three team sports — basketball, rugby, soccer – compared to two (track and field, volleyball) for men. Thirty-seven members of the athletics team are women; 28 men. Twenty women qualified in swimming; 10 men. Five females in gymnastics; a sole male. Full complement of women in wrestling and track cycling, unlike their male counterparts…”

The pride is palpable for the poobahs who oversee our Olympic hopefuls, too.

“I’m so impressed with some of the clutch performances, in the synchronized diving when they came through on the fifth dive, in the team pursuit today,” DiManno quoted chef de mission Curt Harnett, himself a former cycling Olympic medalist. “And the way the swimmers in the pool have delivered time and time again.”

To hear him tell it, Harnett is gender blind in looking at our athletes and how they’ve been performing. “I’ve never really thought of it on those terms, though it’s certainly been a unique thing here, with their dominance in results.

“Ultimately, I’d like to think that Canada provides for young girls a field of play that later translates into valid international sports opportunities.”

That hasn’t always been the case and still isn’t in many quarters.

As a father of a pair of athletic young women, I know for a fact sports organizations like Rugby Canada have not, until very recently, presented a level playing field for funding for men’s and women’s national teams. Women, in that sport now wildly popular after our success in the rugby sevens game in Rio, had to go begging for sponsorships and donations to make national and international competitions and many still do.

We’re not telling parents of kids who play hockey, ball or other sports anything new, either. But, the point here is that we’ve finally, if not admitting it openly, crossed a gender barrier in funding, training and support that has produced the results we’re seeing in Rio. However you look at it, it’s pretty damn exciting to see women hog the spotlight on a world stage and bring accolades to Canada for helping make it happen.

Go Canada! Alez les femmes!

Sarah Badgley grant put to good use at the Marmora library

By Margriet Kitchen Marmora – Sounds of rhythm sticks, drums, maracas, tambourine and a triangle filled the play area of the library on Tuesday, Aug. 9.

Librarian Joan Jutt and her staff are offering an expanded experience for Marmora area children at the weekly play visits. Through a Sarah Badgley grant from the Rural Learning Association, various simple instruments, CDs and music-themed books have been pur-

chased to help the youngsters develop an appreciation for sound and rhythm.

The group consists of up to eight pre-school age boys and girls, usually with a parent who helps to guide the activity through play and learning. Supervising the program are two summer students, Hailey Nicolson and Madeleine McGregor. The girls led Tuesday’s group through a rousing effort of Farmer in the Dell with puppet play then the instruments were used to match the beat of musical tunes

on a stereo. Children also were encouraged to play with ribbon streamers, again to encourage the sense of rhythm and movement.

Librarian Joan Hutt said, “The summer students are great with the children, there are usually eight youngsters here at any of the play times that run every Tuesday from 10:30 a.m. The program, which encourages children to explore music with fun, stories, instruments and movement, will continue into the fall with the help of full-time staff.”

The Marmora library play area has become a scene of musical discovery.

Here, Lana Butler-Coens and her cousin, Daniel Bateman, summer students Hailey Nicolson and Madeleine McGregor and Layla and Julie Newman explore the various instruments. Photo by Emily Winowich

Artist brings ‘nature art’ to Campbellford

By Sue Dickens

Campbellford – What do you think of when someone says they paint nature art? That is the question Dorothy Siemens poses as she brings her paintings to Campbellford for a solo exhibition at the library.

“If you think of delicate, realistic paintings of wolves in winter or floral landscapes, then you’re in for a surprise,” she said.

“The title of my exhibition, Natural Expressions, should be a hint that you’re going to see a more expressive, interpretive version of nature art.”

Siemens’ bold, vibrant paintings “celebrate nature with

bright colours, oversized imagery and a good dose of imagination,” she added.

Describing her work, she noted that although she is inspired by nature, her paintings take on a life of their own as she creates them. Working in the medium of oil paint and cold wax, she layers colour and texture with a palette knife.

Siemens’ interest in art goes back to her childhood when she said she could often be found drawing insects, birds and the inevitable horses, “so beloved of every 12-year old girl.”

When in high school she studied privately with a professional illustrator, then attended

the Toronto Three Schools of Art for a year. After that she enrolled in the Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD), graduating with a diploma in editorial design. She then worked as a freelance graphic designer and children’s book illustrator for many years. Her foray into fine art became a full-time obsession after moving from Toronto to Port Hope a few years ago.

The exhibition is happening now and continues through to Oct. 20. For more information go to: http://spiritofthehills.org/ campbellford-library. You can also see more of her work online at www.dorothysiemens. com.

Robbery at Tweed drugstore

By Brett Mann Tweed – On what was already an event-filled weekend in Tweed, with two serious truck accidents and the destruction of a house in one case in an associated fire, a robbery occurred at a Tweed Pharmacy on Victoria Street. OPP report that a suspect demanded narcotics from the pharmacist at approximately 4 p.m. on the afternoon of Friday, August 5.

The OPP communication states: “The male suspect is described as 5’5”, average build, olive complexion with four to five day facial hair growth. He was wearing baggy dark shorts, white or cream coloured striped shirt

with a collar, running shoes and a dark hat with an emblem on it. He was carrying a black knapsack. He left the store with a small quantity of narcotics in an unknown direction.

No weapon was observed. No injuries were reported.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Central Hastings OPP Detachment at 613473-4234 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

The Tweed robbery is the latest in a rash of pharmacy holdups in small towns – there having been two in the past month in Northumberland County – and in all cases prescripttion painkiller drugs have been the target for thieves.

Stirling Library Board suffers more resignations

By Terry McNamee Stirling—The Stirling Library Board, already down one member as a result of the resignation of Denyse Mouck in July, is now missing two more.

Stephanie Monk has left Stirling and moved to another province, while Stephanie Blake handed in her resignation on Thursday, Aug. 11.

Blake said her resignation is “because of the harassment of the library staff, and putting up roadblocks. I just felt it was wise to leave.”

Blake put the blame for the discord on board chairman Councillor Dean Graff and his fellow council appointee Deputy-Mayor Bob Mullen.

“I think the councillors have meddled excessively,” she said.

She said she is a firm believer in the

importance of the library in the community and wants to ensure that it remains. Because of that, she still plans to attend board meetings.

Graff said Monday, Aug. 15, that he only received Blake’s resignation letter earlier that day. He refrained from commenting on the situation.

During Monday’s council meeting, resident John Rock asked about the makeup of the library board.

“There’s been no change since the election,” Mayor Rodney Cooney said.

“It sounds to me like the library‘s being nickelled and dimed,” Rock commented, but Councillor Jeremy Solmes was quick to point out that the library budget was not cut this year.

“Everything’s good,” said Graff.

“The hours have not been cut. Staff has not been cut.”

Let’s talk about it: Madoc’s first Death Cafe was also a venue to discuss deathrelated topics such as doctor-assistMadoc - To most, the subject of ed dying and more. Nikolajev says death and dying is a grim one; a that events such as this can open discussion held in private, and only doors for conversations surroundwhen completely necessary. The stigma surrounding end-of-life, loss, grief and bereavement has been kept private, as though death is less of a certainty and more of a bad word.

Enter the Death Cafe; not as spooky as it sounds. It’s more coffee, cake and laughter than the title of a horror novel. Death Cafe coordinator Olga Nikolajev served as a palliative care nurse and a death educator. Nikolajev says that the aim of the Death Cafe is to provide a venue for conversation to normalise the discussion on the subject of death and dying.

“It’s the first Death Cafe that I have organised, and the third that I have attended,” says Nikolajev.

“I think the main thing that I gained from attending Death Cafes previously was feeling safe and having a forum where people could just chat about all kinds of different things; from near death experiences to first hand experiences with personal loss.”

that I want to be able to do?’ These are very important things to share with one another.”

Nikolajev, a certified thanatologist, is the founder and director of

Dying Matters, a group dedicated to generating interest and providing valuable information about death, dying, loss and bereavement.

Nikolajev says that the main intent of the group is to empower the general public to engage in conversations pertaining to death and dying.

“Once the event is finished, there will be evaluations for everyone to fill out. The evaluations are a tool to gain some insight from each discussion group,” says Nikolajev.

“So I try and be a very flexible facilitator to guide people through the process of discussion and holding everything in confidence.”

She says that she hopes that the Death Cafe can be brought to surrounding areas such as Marmora, Belleville and Tweed in the near future.

“If people are interested, we will continue to have more. This is just the first one, but I’m sure there will be more,” says Nikolajev.

“What I would like to be able to see is one, once a month in each municipality. I think that the more we are able to have these conversations, the better.”

Foodbank grant helps offset extra bridge closure costs

By Bill Freeman Hastings – A $500 grant will help the Hastings-Roseneath Foodbank offset some of the additional costs it incurred during the four-month Hastings swing bridge closure.

The timely grant comes from the CIBC Retiree Ambassador’s Program.

“We’ll be able to put it to good use. This is a good donation,” says Foodbank vice-president Gail Hughes.

With the bridge closed, direct access to south Hastings was possible only by walking so the 25-year-old organization used St. George’s Anglican Church twice a month along with its regular site at St. Andrew’s on the north side.

Hughes said the organization tried to co-ordinate food pick-ups at Food 4 All in Cobourg with the days clients used St. George’s but they still had to deal with the lengthy detour

around the construction site.

“It did cost us considerably more [and] the $500 will help offset that cost.”

On top of that is the fact that general donations are down this year, she added.

“Even the churches are struggling.”

The foodbank still receives around $500 at Christmas from the United Way; they also receive $500 from Ontario Hydro along with personal donations.

The foodbank operates three times a month and occasionally four weeks depending on the calendar.

There are approximately 40 registered clients; that includes single people, couples and families.

“The numbers could be upwards of 100,” says Hughes. The client numbers have been “fairly consistent” and are in fact a “little lower,” she added.

Three representatives from the

Ontario Association of Foodbanks were expected to tour the St. Andrew’s site which Hughes considered an honour. The organizations shifted from a small building at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Roman Catholic Church to St. Andrew’s three-and-a-half-years ago and now pay rent.

The St. Andrew’s location has more storage capacity and plenty of room for clients to sit, chat and learn more about support services.

“It was so small,” Hughes said of their old home.

Volunteers had to deal with one client at a time and had no place to wait in inclement weather.

“This is so much nicer and way more functional. I think it’s a winwin for the church.”

Stirling farm hosts first Paso Fino horse show and, despite a few afternoon cloud- 100 people who came out to ride, in this area,” Willings said, adding that she was “very happy with the bursts, it was a fun day for every- help or watch.

“It was the first Paso Fino Show turnout.”

Stirling - On Saturday, Aug. 13, one who came out.

Fina Vista Farm on Tuftsville Road Owner Camilla Willings said the hosted a Paso Fino Horse Show show attracted 18 entries and about

Paso Fino horses are different from most other breeds in that they do a special gait called a “paso” instead of a trot. The breed dates back 500 years to Spanish horses brought to Puerto Rico by the conquistadors.

When doing a Paso gait, the horse’s hoofs strike the ground in a one-two-three-four pattern — for example, left hind, left front, right hind, right front — at any one of three different speeds. The gait is extremely smooth for the rider, who sits almost motionless in the saddle since all the horse’s movement is forward instead of up and down. The gait is natural, and even the foals will perform it from birth.

Judge Clare Cobb judged the horses in 19 different classes, including special “gaited” classes such as Paso Gaited, Classic Fino and Champagne. The traditional Champagne class grew out of demonstrations used to show that a horse could move so smoothly that a rider could carry a glass of champagne without spilling it.

The remaining classes included everything from pole-bending and barrel racing to jumping, costume and equitation. Many of the classes were divided into age categories for Grace Barr rode Pianola (“Pia”) to a third-place finish in barrel racing during the Paso Fino Horse Pauline Allison was laughing as she tried to persuade her mount, Penumbro, to go just a little faster juniors, novices and experienced during the Open Pole-Bending class at the Paso Fino Horse Show held on Saturday, Aug. 13, at Fina competitors.

Art benefit exceeds expectations for Madoc food bank

Madoc - Opening night of the fifth annual Food for Thought art show and auction was abuzz with artists and perspective buyers of 135 pieces of work donated by 50 local artists.

The benefit, August 5 and 6, raised close to $7,000, exceeding the past four years.

It is the major fundraising event of the year for the Helping Hands Food Bank, hosted by Central Hastings Support Network of Madoc.

The agency, CHSN, operates the food bank, a rural transit system, volunteer driver program, and a free income tax service for low income residents.

Their building at 151 St. Law-

rence Street East in the village is also the home of other services providing youth and adults with health and education links, formerly available only in Belleville.

Purchase of the old medical centre enabled CHSN to consolidate their services under one roof and create a hub of resources for financially marginalized residents of Centre Hastings, Madoc Township and the Tudor-Cashel area.

Current executive director, Jean McDonnell, had the vision six years ago when she came into the job along with Sally Gale, food bank co-ordinator, who later became the office manager.

McDonnell retires in October and Gale moves into her role with Linda McLaren coming on as office administrator. Jane McCullough

is the new food bank co-ordinator, while Sheila Johnson continues as office co-ordinator.

Tonny Braden, who has mustered the artists each year since the benefit began, is now a member of the board of directors.

Board chair Curt Brinkman acknowledged the work of vice-chair Tony Long in promoting the rural transit program and the work of volunteers in each sector of the agency.

He made a special note of thanking Carl Vandermeer of Madoc Foodland for ongoing efforts to stock food bank shelves, and to Deborah Best for her dedication to selling 50/50 tickets for the event, which amounted to a winning total of $750 for Cooper resident Kyle Artists and perspective buyers gathered for a wine and cheese opening August 5 at Arts Centre Hastings in Madoc for a benefit auction in support of the local food bank.

Dry stone wall workshop rebuilding history

By Sue Dickens Campbellford - Renowned certified instructor Sean Donnelly will again be leading a group of dry stone wall enthusiasts at the ninth annual workshop being held at Ferris Provincial Park.

A collaboration between Friends of Ferris (FofF), Ontario Parks and the Dry Stone Walling Association of Canada (DSWAC) has resulted in a solid foundation for the annual restoration project of the century-old wall.

Based in Waterloo, Donnelly works

primarily in Canada, but his work has taken him as far away as Scotland and into the United States. In July 2013 he became the third Canadian in history to achieve advanced standing with the Dry Stone Walling Association of Great Britain (DSWAGB), the leading standard of dry stone construction worldwide. According to the association, dry stone walling dates back at least three and a half millennia.

“This year we hope to restore another 45-foot section of the stone wall,” noted Carol Robertson, a longtime member of

Friends of Ferris who is organizing the event.

“Saturday morning is the “tear down” when stones are removed and sorted then the rebuilding starts and by Sunday afternoon, participants have gained plenty of hands-on experience to be able to create an installation at home and another section of stone wall is restored to its former glory. It’s a win-win,” she added.

Advertising has already prompted people from Toledo, USA and Marmara to register. The $200 fee includes two days of instruction, two lunches, coffee, fruit and refreshments. For free camping at non-electrical sites contact Ontario Parks at 705-653-3575.

Don’t want to get your hands dirty but

want to see what’s happening? Walk in for free or drive in at $5 per car. Proceeds go to Friends of Ferris.

The workshop will be held Sat., Aug. 27 and Sun., Aug. 28 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Reporter gives it a go as ‘Cadet For A Day’

By Melyssa Gloude Let me start off by saying that I’m not a wimp, really, in any sense of the word.

When I’m not writing and photographing for this publication, I’m usually toiling in a field somewhere on the outskirts of Tweed.

Now that I’ve given my disclaimer, I’ll write frankly: it takes a lot of heart to be a cadet.

I was lucky enough to be invited down to 8 Wing CFB Trenton by Captain Joshua Bambrough, Unit Public Affairs Representative with the Canadian Forces, to learn the ways of the Air Cadet first-hand.

My first hurdle was ‘Drill’, to be completed alongside other members of local media -- Thankfully we had the patient instruction of cadets Elizabeth deGagne, Jordan Wityszyn and Faye Wong. Cadet Wityszyn, 15, joined the program in the seventh grade and says that he considers it one of his greatest decisions so far.

“This program has been amazing. It’s given me the opportunity to develop in many ways. I personally try to take advantage of every aspect of the program.

It gives you so many opportunities to improve and become a leader.”

Wityszyn and his fellow cadets were certainly patient with us. Though, I didn’t drop the rifle I was handed in order to perform the drill, I... did not excel. Watching these young people carry themselves in such a uniform manner was inspiring, and having the privileged to learn something new from them was extraordinary.

Next, we were loaded into a van on our way to Picton. The van was air conditioned. This is notable because we broke heat records that day and I wasn’t going to pretend like it wasn’t excruciatingly hot.

We soon arrived in the County -- Cadets taking part in the General Training Pro-

gram were scattered about the wilderness in large groups, moving flawlessly from task to task.

Here, Cadets were honing basic survival skills like knot-tying, fire-starting, shelter building and teamwork. I wasn’t allowed to play with fire. Smart move, Cadets.

It was here that I watched instructors guide their younger counterparts with civility, discipline and courtesy. I was awestruck watching these young people teach even younger people without stumbling.

After spending a few hours circling around each station and even trying on a full military pack (and carrying it...sort of...) we piled into the van once again and headed to Frankford.

As we arrived to the Frankford Fish and Game Club, we heard little explosions.

Consider my interest piqued, I thought, as I watched a homemade rocket shoot off into the sky.

Welcome to BATA: The Basic Aviation Technology and Aerospace Course.

This opportunity provides cadets with the ability to develop the fundamentals of aerospace, airport operations and aircraft manufacturing and maintenance.

I arrived to see the finishing touches being put on large rocket by the name

of FrankenRocket. Sean Ragany, 16 and Stuart Hill 16 put together the behemoth as part of the BATA program. The flock of cadets watched as each team would present their rockets and attempt to launch them. Some flew, some failed, but the important part was that each cadet was given the tools to create something very cool.

“The project was a lot of fun to build,” said Ragany. “Even though it wasn’t successful it was fun building it. But we’re going to try again.”

My day as a cadet ended with a boom, as FrankenRocket attempted to blast off, but exploded instead. By now I had been sweating profusely and was taken aback with how unfazed the cadets were to be in the scorching sun all day long.

What I had learned from my day as Cadet is that it takes a special breed to excel in the special training required. To watch the insurmountable teamwork between each individual was inspiring -- and, to see just how happy every one was to be working together was enough to call my mom and ask her why I wasn’t a cadet when I was younger.

Volunteer appreciation event highlights Tweed’s community spirit

By Brett Mann Tweed - Everyone was in agreement on at least one point at Tweed’s annual volunteer appreciation evening, it was hot. Even beside Stoco Lake with all the windows open, the Kiwanis Pavilion was uncomfortably warm. The relaxed spirit of friendship and community was equally warm however, and some folks found the energy to get up and dance to the rhythms of Scott Pettigrew and the Tweedsmuir House Band.

“This is probably our fifth volunteer appreciation for the community, for all of those who give of their time for the municipality,” said Mayor Jo-Anne Albert. “It’s for everybody. It’s the hamlet beautification committees, to people who volunteer at Community Care, to the Heritage Centre, Kiwanis, all the service clubs, all the people who have volunteered, the Festival of Trees, sororities … I think there’s about 200 coming tonight.”

The municipality purchases all the food including trays of hot pork from Palmateer’s Meats, salads, buns, cold drinks, and hundreds of especially made appreciative cupcakes. Everything is sourced and prepared locally. Set-up (and clean-up) was taken care of by Tweed’s energetic Community Development Manager Rachelle Hardesty and her assistants and staff volunteers.

“Rachelle and Lori [Crellin, assistant] did the bulk of the organizing,” Albert reported.

Moe Gunning received the Volunteer of the Year award for his long-standing work with minor sports and the Family Feud sports tournaments. Vicki McCulloch was recognized for her work as chair of Friends of Stoco Lake.

Hardesty said this was the biggest, most well-attended appreciation night thus far with about 185 people in attendance. “It was awesome,” said a gratified Hardesty. “My biggest thing is that our volunteers are what makes our

community. How many are involved with hockey, baseball, soccer, music?

We would never be able to hire a recreation person to take on all this work. We wouldn’t have the hamlets that we do.

There are a lot of individuals [volunteering] not all of them on committees.”

An emerging focus for volunteer action is next year’s 150th Canada celebrations, and Hardesty had just come from a task force meeting where about 18 people showed up to begin brainstorming and planning for the big event.

“The biggest thing we have to focus on now is grants, but there are things being done that don’t need funding. We want to go back to having street dances. We would shut down a street. We have to get all the hamlets on board.”

Other shorter-term projects include a fall agricultural fair with corn mazes, and pumpkin, produce and livestock contests. “These are just some of the things we discussed,” said Hardesty.

Local service clubs partner again with Westben

By Sue Dickens

Campbellford – For the third consecutive year, the Rotary Club of Campbellford and the Warkworth Community Service Club (WCSC) have partnered for a fundraising concert.

Westben is providing the facilities at no cost to raise funds to help the communities of Trent Hills. The concert is also a launch pad for the fall season for theatre association.

The annual “At Your Service” benefit concert featuring the “Next Generation Leahy” will be “an incredibly exciting concert,” said Donna Bennett, Westben’s co-founder and marketing director.

“The last time they performed at Westben, they had the whole audience at The Barn clapping and tapping their feet. The children sing, dance and play the fiddle all at the same time.”

Building on more than three generations of Leahy musicianship, Doug Leahy, together with his wife Jennifer and their children, “are keeping those traditions alive through music, song, and dance.”

Bennett noted that live performances are filled with the high-energy, infectious Celtic-based music people associate with the Leahy heritage. Fiddle, cello, French accordion, singing, piano, and French-Canadian step-dancing all find a voice on stage.

The concert will be presented on Sun., Sept. 18 with a barbecue lunch at noon and the concert to follow at 2 p.m. Tickets are $45 each for adults, $20 for youth and it’s $8 for the barbecue. To order tickets contact members of either club or call the Westben box office at705-653-5508 or 1-877-8835777 or book online at www.westben. ca.

The “Next Generation Leahy” will be performing at Westben on Sun., Sept. 18 at a concert being hosted by the Rotary Club of Campbellford in collaboration with the Warkworth Community Service Club to raise money for the communities in Trent Hills.

Tori English crowned Norwood Fair Ambassador

By Bill Freeman Norwood – Tori English made history August 8 when she was crowned Ambassador of the Norwood Fair.

The 17-year-old Holy Cross graduate from Indian River follows the footsteps of sisters Rachel and Christi and cousin Jenna in becoming the fair’s 45th ambassador. It’s the first time in history that three siblings have represented the Norwood Agricultural Society as ambassador.

Jenna was also Ambassador of the Canadian National Exhibition in 2007.

“I’ve been watching this since I was little. It’s so exciting that I can be part of this amazing experience,” Tori said after accepting the crown from 2015-16 Ambassador Annika Vanderhorst.

Tori, sponsored by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 300 in Norwood, was the sole contestant after two other girls dropped out unexpectedly; still the Fair Board’s Homecraft Division designed an evening of celebration to replicate the gala atmosphere normally part of the occasion.

“I’m sure it will come back. We’re not afraid especially for our 150th; we want a very big celebration that

year,” said Homecraft co-vice-president Denise Calder, a long-time member of the organizing committee.

The Norwood Fair is 148-yearsold this fall and is already looking ahead to its sesquicentennial in 2018.

“We’re going to work a little bit harder and promote it a little more,” Calder said of the competition which usually draws large numbers.

Some of the younger past ambassadors will visit Norwood District High School with Tori and talk to students about the event. They’ll also have a booth at this year’s fair. “[We want] to get more kids involved in this amazing experience,” says Tori.

The youngest daughter of Kevin and Julie English is off to Carleton University this fall to study psychology. A four-sport athlete and Ontario Scholar at Holy Cross and member of the Athletic Council and Social Justice Group, Tori also helps coach mite hockey in Norwood and volunteers at Legion Branch 300.

“This is the best town you could ever live in, it’s such a tight-knit community,” she said.

The fair, she added, is “home, it’s community; it’s my favourite part of the year.”

It’s impossible to pick just one favourite part of the fair, she says.

“Every aspect of the fair is so perfect.”

New items added to HBM enviro day

By Bill Freeman Havelock – Children’s car seats and hardcover books were added to the recycling stream during Peterborough County’s annual environmental day in Havelock-Belmont-Methuen.

The busy event at the Sixth Line Transfer Station also gave permanent and seasonal residents a chance to get rid of old VHS tapes, cassettes, DVDs and CDs as well as a range of electronic gear.

“We get a lot of calls about these

items, which is why we try to offer alternatives at our environmental days, because it’s something you can’t put in the blue box on a regular basis,” said Catrina Switzer, the county’s waste management administrative coordinator. “They [environmental days] give people another opportunity to recycle things they may not be able to ordinarily put in a blue box.”

While diversion rates are “a little less” across the county, Switzer says, participation is up.

“The actual

amount [in tonnage] is down a bit, but that’s because recycling is becoming lighter,” she explained.

There is less glass in the system, and plastic bottles, steel cans and pop cans are thinner.

“We still have all that volume and our volumes are higher, but the material is lighter [and] how we are measured in by the tonne., she said. “Even though people are doing the right thing, it’s not necessarily reflected in the numbers.”

There are more options than ever for the County’s waste management team to gets its message across to ratepayers and seasonal residents, she added. Active use of social media like Facebook and Twitter, along with newspapers, newsletters, the county’s website and a special “my-waste” app, have made

connecting with users easier than ever.

“People have a lot more opportunity to hear the messaging,” Switzer said.

Still, the waste management department would like to see more people sort recyclables into the proper blue box, which means putting coffee cups, milk and orange juice containers and Tetra packs in the container box.

“A lot of people put them in with paper,” she said.

Styrofoam remains a challenge, Switzer noted.

The county hasn’t formally collected styrofoam since 2007, except at environmental days, but stopped doing that last year when the City of Peterborough’s market for styrofoam vanished.

“It all comes down to economics,” said Switzer.

Campbellford wins Bay of Quinte’s Division 2 in men’s soccer

By John Campbell Belleville – Campbellford is the runaway Division 2 champion of the Bay of Quinte Men’s Outdoor Soccer League.

With one game left to play this week, the team will finish well ahead of its five other BQMSL rivals to capture the regular season title, and it now has set its sights on winning the cup as well.

It currently has a 3-0 record in cup play and will be looking to advance to the final with a win over the Belleville Blazers in the semi-final Aug. 23 at MA Sills. The final will take place Aug. 25.

Campbellford upped its record to 11-1-1 in league play by pummelling Elite FC 10-3 Aug. 9, led by Erick Shannon’s five goals. The striker leads

the league with 21 goals.

Blaine Thompson scored twice and has 11 goals for the season, putting him in third spot in Division 2 scoring.

Also finding the net were Erick Nestoruk, Nicholas Thompson and Brady Cross.

Shannon and centre midfielder Blaine Thompson have combined for 32 goals, slightly more than half of the 60 Campbellford has scored.

Shannon is in his first year with the team. He was a member of the Brighton Storm which folded last season.

“It was pretty nice to get a player like that,” said midfielder Sawyer Michel, the first-year manager/coach who‘s in his sixth year as a member of the team. Helping him run the team is Ben Fields, who also plays for Campbellford.

Campbellford has outscored its opposition by 40 goals in 13 games, with No. 19 Erik Shannon accounting for one-third of the team’s offence, but the club has had a much tougher time defeating Colborne, winning twice by just one goal and another by two goals. Photo submitted

The team lost just once last year but tied a pair which prevented it from finishing first, losing out to 8 Wing for first place; 8 Wing also defeated Campbellford in the semi-final for the cup.

Michel said he‘s “pretty proud how the team came together [this season].

It was a relatively new squad so to see the results we got and how quickly we were able to come together was awesome.”

Springbrook Royals win All-Ontario (U12) A-Division Softball title Stirling-Rawdon – The Springbrook Royals U12 softball team defeated Brussels 10-4 in the final game of the eight-team double knockout championship tournament to complete an undefeated run through both the Eastern qualifying tournament in Fitzroy Harbour in July and the All-Ontario final tourney in Springbrook on Aug. 13-14 Against Brussels, Matt Musclow pitched seven innings, recording eight strikeouts, seven hits and four runs.

Springbrook started out with two runs in the first inning.

A lead-off single from Kellen Dostaler was followed by a triple from Ryan Cook who was hit in by Matt Musclow.

There was no more scoring for either team until the fourth inning, when Springbrook scored one more from a single from Will Parliament, who was then driven home by a hard-hit triple down the third base line from Kieren Ellis.

Things were tougher in game three on Sunday morning when Springbrook and New Hamburg, both undefeated in the tournament, fought it out, with a 3-2 decision going to the Royals. Springbrook then watched and waited to see who they would play in the final.

Brussels had dropped its opener to Napanee 10-7, but they came back to beat Stouffville 15-0 and Westport 4-2. A re-match with Napanee resulted in a 7-4 win for Brussels, sending them into the final against Springbrook.

The Rednersville Road Art Tour (fondly known as the R.R.A.T.) will host its ninth annual Art Tour this coming Labour Day Weekend.

This year, the R.R.A.T. will host fifteen sites with 26 artists and artisans. Returnee studios, as well as new sites and guests, will be opening their doors to the public, displaying the artistic talents of both well known and emerging, new artists. Represented work encompasses a large variety of visual art styles, media and prices and includes felt, fiber, glass, ceramic, wood, jewellery, miniatures, and more. All work for sale is original, hand crafted and unique.

Many of these studios have been with the tour since its inception in 2008 when Danuta Cromwell, a local mixed media artist on Rednersville Road, called some artists she knew, also on the “Road” and said, “There seems to be so many of us here on this short 20 kilometer stretch, we should get together and have our own ‘Rednersville Road Art Tour.’” During that first Labour Day weekend tour, the thirteen studios participating saw over 350 visitors.

This year the R.R.A.T. tour welcomes these exciting and unique artists: Iris Casey, a new host, specializes in unique wire sculpture, garden art, and mosaics. Andrea Pyman-Varangu, also a new host, utilizes pure pigment soft pastel sticks to paint landscapes and still lifes. Andrea’s guests Colleen Green, utilizes vibrant colours and movement in bees wax and oil paint on wood, and Laurie McRae, an oil painter and fibre artist creates vibrant landscapes, florals and abstracts. Gayla Campney is a new guest and a beach glass artist who handcrafts work from Prince Edward County Beaches.

Returnees include Florence Chik-lau and her ceramic sculptures; and Susan Moshynski, “By the Bay Studio”, watercolour, pastel and acrylic

his nature interpreted acrylics, oils and prints, and Alecia Bye, a previous year’s tour guest, and her “Wheel thrown” functional stoneware with “mocha diffusion” underglazing techniques.

Also returning: Gwynn Bedford, acrylic and watercolor with her guest Brigitte Rittinger, textile and glass artist and Ilona Mayer, watercolour, oil and acrylics and Helen Steinberg with her watercolors and jewellery.

Take one, two, or three days to see the R.R.A.T. studios and workplaces, start at the middle or either end of the

twenty kilometer stretch of the Rednersville Road (also known as Prince Edward County Road #3) and enjoy, as well, some spectacular views and gardens along that road that follows the beautiful south shore of the Bay of Quinte. Campbells’ Orchards will be open to offer refreshments.

On Labour Day Weekend, Sept. 3, 4 and 5, studio doors will open 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., Saturday, Sunday and Monday. For more information on the R.R.A.T. tour please visit: www.rednersvilleroadarttour.com or view the tour’s Facebook page.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Make sure your butts, fires are dead out Dear Editor I am a seriously concerned citizen of Stirling-Rawdon township and for the past four weeks, since our fire ban went into affect, it seems many aren’t adhering to the ban and utterly ignoring it.

I have seen dozens of people driving by and just tossing their still, very much lit cigarettes out onto the asphalt and often times, these cigarettes have ended up in dry bush. I think an editorial needs to be run to remind people that they should be putting these things out prior to tossing them out the win-

dow, and or buying an astray for their vehicle as they are now putting everyone’s homes and businesses at risk of being burnt to the ground and with water levels being a very serious issue right now, there’s no guarantee the fire departments can manage putting out a big fire.

Currently there are several fires already burning, and to date, these fires are under control, but as we witnessed with the Fort McMurray fire, this can and does change in the blink of an eye. People should be reminded to put their cigarettes out prior to

throwing them out their vehicle’s window and making certain, if they are having a bonfire, that the fire is 100 per cent out. If you can still see red, then throw more water or sand on to the fire!

I for one, cannot afford to move nor can I afford to replace the items in my home and I am certain, no one else can.

So I strongly remind people to be more careful in these very dry times.

Wrong to question provincial commitment to schools: minister

Dear Editor, (Re: Sagonaska Demonstration School) Since becoming Minister of Education, I have had the opportunity to see firsthand the benefits of our investments in our education system on students across the province. We have inRobyn Marlow creased education funding Stirling by 59 per cent, improved graduation rates by 17 percentage points to 85.5 per cent and transformed our education system into one of the best in the world - but we know there is still more work to be done.

I am committed to ensuring that students with special education needs have the supports they need. That is why I announced (last) week that we will not be closing the provincial and demonstration schools and we will continue to strengthen supports for some of our most vulnerable students.

Earlier this year, we consulted with students, families, staff and education and community partners, looking at ways to provide a range of quality programs and services that effectively meet the needs of students who attend the English-

language demonstration schools, Robarts School for the Deaf and Centre JulesLéger.

Throughout the consultations, we heard from parents and students about how vital these programs and services are for students. We gained valuable insight and feedback about how to best meet students’ needs so they can reach their full potential in school and in life. I would like to thank the parents and students for their passion and commitment.

Starting in the 2016-17 school year, we will begin pilots for intensive reading intervention projects in school boards to increase the availability and responsiveness of supports for students in their local communities as well as research early and ongoing assessment to better understand learner profiles of students with learning disabilities.

We will also be establishing a reference group to provide guidance and input on strengthening supports for students who are Deaf or hard of hearing. This is in addition to our pursuit Please see “Wrong” on page B3

There are consequences when populace loses faith in government

Dear Editor In 2013, when the Liberals had a minority government, Kathleen Wynne, our esteemed Premier, created The Financial Accountability Office. The FAO. This was in exchange for the NDP’s backing and support. It worked for Kate at the time.

Stephen LeClair was appointed the first watchdog in 2015.

He has little power of course; Liberals don’t want to play ball.

Accountability doesn’t work for Kate now.

By FAO calculations, Ontario’s debt is an almost $300 billion. The debt has grown 90% since 2008-9 alone.

The Province has $2.40 in

debt for every dollar of revenue it brings in.

Interest on the debt is almost $1 billion a month. Wow. Ontario spends more on interest payments than on post secondary education.

Stephen LeClair reports Kate and Charles Sousa, Finance Minister, continue to hide information, using accounting tricks and one time sell offs to survive.

Shouldn’t these people be in jail? Don’t we call people who steal, lie and cheat crooks?

I guess we have legal crooks in today’s world.

Let’s move on to Ontario’s aborted pension plan. $70 million and not a single penny of

contributions collected; but lots paid out.

The top six executives of the defunct plan will split $2 million in severance for a job that never was. The CEO, Saad Rafi, will receive more than $825,000 for less than six months work. Do the math.

Saad ran the Pan Am Games, which the auditor general reported came in $304 million over the original budget, and executives including Rafi split $5.3 million in completion bonuses. Nice reward for an over budget outcome.

Finance Minister Charles Sousa and his associate minister in charge of pensions, Indira Naidoo-Harris, said they felt

Wrong to question provincial commitment Continued from page B2 of legislative changes to transfer the governance structure of Centre Jules-Léger to our 12 French-language school boards

the push for an Ontario Pension plan was well worth the $70 million. Go figure.

Some analysts compare this cavalier mentality exhibited by politicians to what is happening globally.

The rise in Donald Trump’s popularity; Brexit; Nice and Munich shootings; Turkey’s failed coup; Dallas and Baton Rouge violence between the blacks and the police.

The populace is feeling disenfranchised, sick of

Willie Wonka at Stirling Theatre is sweet as candy

By Jack Evans Stirling – If you think our current crop of young people is a listless bunch of slackers, the Stirling Festival Theatre’s current Young Company production of Roald Dahl’s musical, “Willy Wonka� will prove you wrong.

With a cast of 25 aged 10 to 20, it’s like a famous writer said of a dog that walked on its hind legs: “It’s not that it could do it so well, but that it could do it at all.�

Happy songs, colour-

ful costumes, funny gags and a group of young thespians who can dance up a storm and belt out their songs like Ethel Merman will keep you glued to your seat. Even more fun is the spectacular light show put on by director David Vanderlip, giving an impression of flying and crashing blindingly off a solid wall of bright tinfoil at another point. Thus, you have a great example of adult skills and leadership bolstering a precocious talent pool.

The enthusiasm and

talent just jump right off the stage. Generous audiences have been crying for more.

Supported by a twoperson pit band, music director Christopher Mallon and flutist Veronique Kwakkernaat, there is plenty of sound, thanks to batteries of speakers all over the theatre.

Vanderlip has enlarged the stage area by about 50 square feet with two side-wingmulti-storey structures and makes the most use of them.

As he plans to retire,

NOW IN OUR NEW OFFICE!

• Complete dental care for all ages

Willie Wonka, owner of the magical candy factory, seeks a replacement.

He offers a contest of five gold certificates among his millions of chocolate bars, which entitles the finder and a parent to a tour of the plant and ultimately, perhaps, an opportunity to take it over. The prized certificates wind up scattered all over the world to different types of children. One is a glutton from Germany, one a media addict from the United States, one a spoiled rich brat from Brazil and one a gum-chewing addict. The final message here is that the children’s faults are not theirs, but the parents.

Also, young Billie Bucket from an impoverished family right in the chocolate factory town finds one. Billie is the odds on favourite from the get goand deservedly so. It’s a wild ride of songs, action, special effects and unhappy results for four of the children and their parents.

Both Whitman and young Flagler just recently finished a grueling run in the Belleville Theatre Guild’s “Music Man� show.

Yes, it is a kids’ show, but all the adults loved it. Yes, the choreography isn’t up to Rockettes class, but it remains colourful and effective. One more note: in the Dutch and German languages, the double “oo� sound in Gloop, is always o as in boat or goat, not oo as in too.. With so many Dutch descendants if not speakers in our area,

One might call these young people stars of tomorrow based on the talent and skills they have been displaying in the current Stirling Theatre Young Company show of Wilile Wonka. “ Photo submitted

New road signs help to protect municipal drinking water sources Keep your eyes open for the new Drinking Water Protection Zone road signs now up in the Quinte Region. The new signs are appearing across Ontario to raise awareness about protecting drinking water sources and public health.

The signs identify zones along frequently travelled roads where pollution spills could have a significant impact on our municipal drinking water sources.

They are part of Ontario’s Source Water Protection Program under the Clean Water Act, which empowers communities to better protect their local water sources.

About 800 of the new road signs will be installed across the province with 33 of those in the Quinte Region; 24 on municipal roads and nine on provincial highways. Look for the signs in these local municipalities: Belleville, Prince Edward County, Marmora and Lake, Centre Hastings, Madoc Township, Tweed, Deseronto

and Greater Napanee.

“The signs mark sections of road where accidental spills could travel quickly to a public drinking water source and contaminate it,” says Keith Taylor, Source Water Protection Project Manager at Quinte Conservation.

“In the event of a spill, emergency responders can notify Ontario’s Spills Action Centre so quick action will protect the public drinking water source and public health.”

Quinte Conservation assisted municipalities to identify precise locations for the new signs and facilitated a bulk order this spring. Municipalities installed signs on municipal roads using provincial funding. The province is installing the signs on provincial roads and highways. The first Drinking Water Protection Zone road sign in the province was installed on Lennox and Addington Road 2 in the Town of Greater Napanee last November.

The road signs are called for

in the Quinte Region Source Protection Plan. Local municipalities are working with Quinte Conservation to implement policies in the Plan since it came into effect in January, 2015. The Plan, developed under Ontario’s Clean Water Act, directs local efforts to protect and keep the sources of municipal water clean and plentiful. One of the 63 policies in the Plan calls for the new road signs.

The initiative to protect sources of municipal drinking water is directed and funded by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change under the Clean Water Act. Quinte Conservation provided local technical, communications and administrative support for the planning process and supports local municipalities as policies are implemented. More information about drinking water source protection is available at Quin- Signs like this are being posted throughout the Quinte region in places where pollution could impact drinking water sources.

Can dams cure or cause drought?

The Weather Network reports, “22 of 31 watersheds throughout southern Ontario are reporting some level of drought conditions (as of July 29). Ten watersheds have advanced to Level 2 (moderate drought), including most watersheds in eastern Ontario, plus the Hamilton and Grand River watersheds. At this level, local residents are asked to voluntarily lower their water usage by 20 per cent. As of August 4, three watersheds in southeastern Ontario (including the Moira River watershed area overseen by Quinte Conservation) have advanced to Level 3 (severe drought) and residents are asked to lower water usage by 50 per cent.

In such times of drought, people often begin to think about dams on our rivers and streams to retain and manage water. But - Dams Have Two Sides.

Canadians have proudly built dams since there were Canadians. Dams and the power they harness are commonly described as “green” and “renewable,” but there are several disadvantages to dams. They

are not totally “green” and they can irreversibly change a river.

The water may be renewable but these river habitats are not.

This is a story we don’t often hear because dams are very advantageous to one species: the humans.

Dams to Regulate Water Levels During settlement, dams were the major source of power; they ran sawmills for lumber and grist mills for flour. No longer major power sources, many dams now just regulate water levels for recreational power boaters in our lakes and canals and increase the real estate value of cottages and retirement homes. The role of those dams is no longer vital and it may be beneficial to consider these dams as optional.

Using dams to regulate water levels should be contrasted with the disadvantages. Sound decisions are not possible otherwise.

There is a large base of knowledge that explores the ecological effects of making variable water levels more constant.

Most river and lake watersheds

on the Canadian Shield have naturally variable water levels. Often variation is extreme, from boulder-rolling spring runoff all the way to just wet rocks in late summer.

Regulatory dams that enforce even slight changes in water level can deliver extreme impacts to the ecological processes in rivers and lakes. Those impacts include: Preventing seasonal oxidation of organic matter exposed to air during low water and allowing organic matter to fill lake beds faster.

Decreasing oxygen concentration in the water by heating the water and by reducing the mechanical mixing by whitewater flows.

Removal of breeding sites for fast water species and removing the flow that delivers food to species that feed by filtering.

Removal of upwelling sites where current flows cause vertical currents to move nutrients up into the sunlight to increase phytoplankton production for the food chain.

These are a few examples of the major ecosystem impacts of

forcing water levels to become constant.

Beaver Dams Beavers were the 0riginal Canadian dam builders, and beaver dams are often cited as having only beneficial effects on ecosystems – that point can be debated, too. Beaver dams do cause an increase in diversity of plant species which causes an increase in bird species diversity. Essentially these effects result from the beavers inserting small lakes into a previously flowing stream. Lake plants and lake birds follow.

With time the beaver pond fills with rich organic matter and silt trapped from the stream.

A beaver meadow results and has species that differ markedly from the surrounding ecological community. Beaver dams have many of the basic impacts of human dams but the ecosystems are better able to adapt to those impacts because the effects are temporary. As the beaver population changes, so do the effects of beaver dams on ecological processes at the landscape scale.

Like older human dams, beaver dams deteriorate and can be washed out by high water.

For both beaver and human dams, poorly planned placement of buildings and bridges allows economic damage. Beaver ponds also trap very large amounts of silty sediment that is nutrient-rich, especially rich in nitrogen. If a backhoe removes all the foundation of a beaver dam right down to bedrock, all the nutrient-rich sediment stored in the bed of the pond can be washed downstream and change the bay of a lake from moderately nutrientrich to algae-filled overnight.

Dams for Energy Dams to generate electricity are newer and usually larger but are often built in the same locations as older dams simply

because that is where engineers can harness falling water.

The electricity that these dams generate is often considered vital but a significant fraction of it is for export – for profit.

These dams also are valued as mechanisms for the storage of electricity produced above the ongoing demand. That excess power can be used to pump water back up above the dam to be used to generate more electricity at times of higher demand – usually called pumped storage.

When a dam floods areas of terrestrial or shallow wetland habitats, one of the first important changes is an increase in methylated mercury. The mercury comes from the bedrock.

Without methylation, mercury does not enter living systems.

Methyl mercury is produced when methane (CH4) is produced by the decay of organic matter without access to oxygen.

High levels of methyl mercury have been found associated with many hydroelectric dams. However, the effects of high levels of methyl mercury on natural systems are not well known, but we have seen the effects of methyl mercury in humans. It affects the neurological system and has been called Minamata disease. First Nations people in the Wabigoon-English watershed of northwestern Ontario have felt the effect of this toxin, although in that case the mercury came from a pulp mill.

The water held back behind a dam is called an impoundment, and this water changes the global water cycle. Water has a very high capacity to store heat, so when the surface area of the water behind a dam is increased, it is heated more by the sun. This causes a significant increase in the evaporation of water vapour and carries more heat into the atmosphere. More

water vapour and more heat creates feast or famine rainfall – just what we are seeing.

So, rather than being a cure for drought, dams can be part of the cause.

As global warming increases, this effect will increase. The warmed surface water will allow greater algae growth and favour invasion by other algal species, including toxic bluegreens.

If the dam overflow is at the surface, then warm water constantly flows downstream, changing the environment.

Coldwater habitats are eliminated. Caddis fly species are among the first to go, followed

by Speckled Trout, Atlantic Salmon and (non-native) Brown Trout. Smallmouth Bass take over. Fun to catch but less diversity.

Dams as Barriers Dams are barriers in streams and rivers. Speckled Trout do not jump over barriers – even low ones. Unlike Pacific Salmon, Atlantic Salmon also are very poor jumpers. Such species are prevented from getting to upstream spawning grounds.

Their populations along a stream are broken into smaller subpopulations by barriers.

These smaller populations separated by barriers are at higher risk of local extinction due to their small numbers.

Ecologically, the impoundments made by dams are essentially ponds inserted into a flowing stream habitat. This is a fundamental change in the landscape and in the ecological processes there. For humanbuilt dams, this change is imposed over large areas and for long periods of time, and the ecological changes are rarely considered.

Because dams can cause as many problems as they cure, those that are not replacing Please see “Dams” on page B11

Scouts see the light with help from friends Thomasburg – Scouts will no longer have to deal with dodgy propane lighting and sub-par wiring at a popular cam near here.

Scouts Canada from the Algonquinte Area were joined recently by members of the Quinte Chapter of the Ontario Electrical League for some much-needed upgrades to the electrical wiring and lighting at Quinte’s local Scouts camp.

According to local Scouts Canada spokesman Nick Fry, the work included installation

of upgraded wiring and LED lights and electrical receptacles in the camp longhouse and sleeping cabins.

The work, said Fry, took place at Camp Sagonaska – Vanderwater Park, Thomasburg. The camp is run by the Algonquinte Area and is available to all Scouts and Guides as well as Cadets and other community groups and is open and accessible all year round.

Fry said the generous donation of time and materials by the OEL electricians and local

branches of Guillevin International and Sesco Incorporated helped “improve the lighting around the facilities and in the buildings and to provide a safer environment for all camp users and to reduce the use of the propane gas lighting fixtures…”

Local electricians taking part included those from Mike Hunter Electric, Anything Electric, Parallel Electric, Electricians from across Quinte chipped in to help wire up and install lights at Scouts’ camp facilities at Camp Sagonaska, at Electrix, Stewart Electric, Vanderwater Park, in Thurlow recently.

Can dams cure or cause drought?

Continued from page B16 more damaging ways of generating power should be removed as part of environmental rehabilitation.

Dams Optional Dams can irreversibly change a river. The water used in power applications may be renew-

able but these river habitats are not. Dams may be implicated as a cause of drought due to their capacity to change the global water cycle. Effects on aquatic plant life and organisms, as well as on recreational fish species, are dramatic. The role of dams is no longer vital,

and it may be best to consider these dams as optional. Who is most important in the scheme of things, all of our species or just the humans?

CBC hit ‘Still Standing’ on the way to Norwood

By Bill Freeman Norwood – First there was Rick Mercer, now it’s Jonny Harris.

Norwood is becoming quite the destination for CBC celebrities and will play host to Harris and the hit show “Still Standing� in early September.

Two years ago, the award winning Mercer spent a memorable day at the Norwood Fair filming a segment for his popular Rick Mercer Report.

Now it’s Jonny Harris’s turn.

Another award winning comic from Newfoundland, Harris will spend time filming in the Friendly Town capping his stay with a stand-up performance that will be something of a “toast� and celebration of the humour and human warmth he’ll discover in Norwood.

Harris is a dynamic comic, sketch performer and writer who’s also made his mark as Inspector George Crabtree in the much-watched Murdoch

Reverend Long was born in Belleville and ordained in Pembroke in 2009. He previously worked in sales and marketing. “We had our own business, a Habitat for Humanity-type store where we sold recycled materials. It was one of the first such stores.” With his wife Jane and son Jeremy he has recently down-sized to a smaller home in Trenton. A daughter, Nicole, lives in Toronto.

Describing the ministerial re-

sponsibilities of United Church ministers, Reverend Long said, “I’m the leader but they’re all ministers. I give them the tool kit. I’m really excited about that.”

Tweed - Reverend Norman Long began a worship service at White LakeBethesda United Church recently by recounting his life growing up on a century farm in Tyendinaga Township.

He remembered riding in the back of his father’s truck with friends and livestock as his father drove calves to the 4-H competition. Reverend Long, the new minister for the “three-point charge” of White Lake-Bethesda, St. Andrew’s in Queensborough and St. John’s in Tweed seems like a good fit for serving rural congregations, and comes with a reputation for providing good pastoral care.

Reverend Long is replacing the recently retired Reverend Caroline Giesbrecht, spending his time getting acquainted with members of the three congregations and preparing to volunteer at a plowing match food booth this summer to be operated by all three churches. He presents as a relaxed, approachable pastor who likes to inject some humour into his weekly services.

“It’s a co-operative relationship,” says Reverend Long. “The church has limited resources at this time so shared resources is really great. It’s Reverend Norman Long has begun a one-year appointment as minister of a good pastoral ministry. The church St. John’s, White Lake-Bethesda and St. Andrew’s (Queensborough) United is really connected to the community, Churches. “I felt called to Tweed,” he said. Photo by Brett Mann

lots of help to the community, lots of work being done. They seem to be really caring of each other too, which is really nice.

They’ve been very caring with me, right from the start.”

Reverend Long comes from a church in Frankford and he felt the need to move to a full-time commitment. “I needed fulltime work and I felt called to Tweed.” His current ministerial appointment is for one year, but “I’d be open to staying longer.”

4-H – It’s not just for farm kids says ambassador

By Sue Dickens Campbellford – More than six months into her tenure as one of six 4-H Ontario ambassadors, Elaine Jeffs has been promoting the organization with positive messages and tackling what she said is “the stigma that it is just for farm kids.”

The first ambassador at the provincial level to represent the Northumberland 4-H Association, Jeffs knows she has had more than her hands full with recruiting new members and sharing the 4-H story.

She also has to present her message in a modern age where modern technology and the voices of animal activists are also affecting her role.

Chosen from a group of 17 people who submitted applications, nine of whom were interviewed and six chosen, Jeffs has been taking her role in stride.

“My main job is to promote 4-H to people who don’t know what it is and make sure I have a positive image because there are people like animal rights activists who think that 4-H is all bad and we are mean to animals because we tie them up and people just don’t understand the whole story so it’s good to get that out,” she said.

“I think with social media, people can take things and distort it so I think it’s good to have positive voices in agriculture.”

Growing up with three siblings, Elaine,

the daughter of Doug and Jennifer Jeffs, who operate a dairy farm near Campbellford, said participating in the 4-H calf club became one of her favourite experiences. But she is quick to point out that, “4-H isn’t just for farm kids anymore.

I’ve taken the yoga club and gardening club; 4-H is definitely expanding and evolving.”

She noted she couldn’t do it without the help of sponsors UPI Energy and GROWMARK Inc. “This is definitely a very exciting time for me,” she said.

Jeffs will be attending the University of Guelph in the fall and is enrolled in the Bachelor of Science and Agriculture program.

Stirling Council reverses decision to reduce school crossing guards

By Terry McNamee Stirling – When students return to Stirling Public School this fall, there will still be three crossing guards to see that they safely cross busy streets.

Faced by a room filled with parents, crossing guards, bus drivers and citizens at its Monday, Aug. 15 meeting, council changed a decision it made this summer to reduce the number of guards to one. Instead, all three guards will remain on duty.

Earlier this summer, council sent letters to the three crossing guards to notify them that the requirement for school crossing guards has been eliminated with the exception of one position. The crossing guards who lost their jobs were then invited to reapply for the remaining position. Now they won’t have to do that.

One of those guards, Tina DeVries, appeared as a delegation at Monday’s meeting, backed up by approximately 30 people who wanted the guards to remain in place.

Citing safety issues, she asked that council rescind its decision. She said that, since the new school replaced the three previous schools about three years ago, there are no longer staggered times for buses and cars dropping off and picking up students. This,

she said, has resulted in 13 buses and about 200 cars entering and exiting the area while students are going to and from school.

“This causes severe congestion of area roads and sidewalks, with the increased risk of pedestrian mishaps,” she said.

A letter also was submitted from County Bus Service Limited expressing concern with safety should the number of crossing guards be reduced.

Mayor Rodney Cooney said the money for the crossing guards was taken out of the budget in February.

To put it back, he said, would require adding a 1.5 per cent increase onto the tax assessment in January 2017.

“We don‘t have it in the budget for two crossing guards for the last six months,” he said. “In order to cover those two crossing guards for six months, we need a half a percent of assessment,” the Mayor said.

“You all understand, it will be a one and a half per cent increase next year.”

He said the original decision actually became official on July 18. Cooney asked for and quickly got a motion on the table to rescind that decision.

Council passed it immediately, restoring all three crossing guard positions.

“So, Tina, that is off the books now,” he said.

At the Aug. 15 meeting of Stirling Council, school crossing guard Tina DeVries explained where and why crossing guards are necessary to protect the 700 children who attend Stirling Public School. Photo by Terry McNamee

“So we can all go back to work?” Afterwards, DeVries said she was “I feel great!” she added. “I’m sure asked DeVries, amid applause from delighted by the turnout of people and the kids will be much happier, and the audience, and the mayor said yes. by council‘s decision. safer, too.”

Southern Wyoming’s wide open spaces & wild horses Yes, you may experience some “tall tales” out here in these wide open spaces, but you’ll also encounter a great variety of spectacular scenery – and those magnificent, free-spirited wild horses.

For More Information: www.tourwyoming.com

By John M. Smith On a recent visit to Wyoming’s Sweetwater County, I partook in a fascinating wild horse and eco safari tour with Rich Noble and his wife (www. greenriverwildhorsetours.com), and this tour was the highlight of my visit. After all, rambling about on those remote, rugged, gravel backroads through the wide open spaces was truly an adventure in itself – and actually encountering several of the magnificent horses and other wildlife, along with viewing fascinating rock formations, sand dunes, and petroglyphs, made for a great day.

It’s best to tour this rugged landscape in a high-clearance vehicle with 4-wheel drive, and Rich uses a 1975 Pinzgauer, said to be an “SUV on steroids”. He brags that “This vehicle will take me almost anywhere”. He says that “It has even been used to get Hummers out of trouble.” Well, it was certainly important for us visitors to feel safe out here in this wilderness, for there were no services along this route, and cell phone reception can be very limited.

We had just nicely started on our Pilot Butte Wild Horse Scenic Tour Route when we encountered our first wild horses, and this was soon followed by several other sightings. What a thrill! It was especially nice to see that these magnificent animals appeared to be quite healthy, although some were scarred somewhat from previous fighting incidences, for the males will fight for ‘the right to rule’. These horses tend to travel in groups, with a stallion having several mares and colts. We soon noticed another male keeping his distance from the ruler of a particular group, but still keeping in contact with the group – probably hoping that he could eventually be accepted into the group instead of wandering about on his own. After all, there’s strength in numbers.

These wild horses are actually freeroaming herds of feral horses, descendants of the horses that were reintroduced to this area by cattle ranchers back in the 1800s, and they wander about the unfenced land in search of food and springs of fresh water. These unbranded and unclaimed horses are now protected and managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in accordance with the Wild FreeRoaming Horse and Burro Act of WHAT ARE YOU 1971. This poses CROWDFUNDING FOR? a bit of a controversial situation for the BLM, for Start your campaign now! if the number of wild horses infuellocal.com is an online platform to raise money through crowdfunding: an opportunity for a collection of individuals to make donations in support of a cause.

LIFESTYLES

The Good Earth

Dan Clost This was the situation on Friday, 12 Aug: an average temperature of 30.9 C for the first 12 days of the month, accumulated rainfall totaled 1mm, our humidex work ratings, according to the Canadian Centre of Occupational Health and Safety (for acclimatized workers – not the

Rain = Recovery for our gardens

chart for a/c office types), had been in the 30 min on and 30 min off for several weeks; last week we had 3 days where it ticked the five on and 55 off, with one day (Friday) topping the chart for several hours.

Gentle Reader, I don’t care how “acclimatized” the health boffins might rate us, too hot is still too hot. Mind you I have room for lots of empathy with roofers, road builders and – the folks whom I think have the toughest weather related job – the garbage collectors. Let’s give a thought and a prayer for our agricultural neighbours, they’re in serious trouble.

I surveyed the grounds of the Clost estate that evening and my gardening soul plummeted to soles of my feet. I know I love plants, but I hadn’t fully realized how much they had become part of defining who I am. However, I am an optimist and later that evening had reconciled myself to starting fresh again... next year.

Moving on to Saturday at “oh-dark thirty” (actually 0410 hrs): halle-

lujah! A light rain began to fall. I know that because I was languishing in our sunroom- upstairs was far too hot for comfortable sleeping- when the scarcely remembered sound of raindrops on a tin roof roused me from my stupor. Sox and I went outside and got wet. In all, 34mm of rain fell over the course of the day, some in heavy downbursts that mostly washed away into the drains but a significant amount fell “slowly” enough to be soaked up by the parched soil. In my mind, I knew that the drought had been broken, but I was still reconciled to planting a new landscape.

Moving on to Sunday at 0930 hrs: what a transformation! We have a garden again. I took about an hour to walk around and take notes because I do believe this summer is a harbinger of summers to come. I need to begin changing up both the structure of the gardens and the plants within them and these notes will strike a chord of reality when I next push my shop-

ping cart through the nursery.

Annuals: zinnias, Diamond Frost euphorbia, and Dragon Wing begonia put themselves at the top of the chart for next year. Nasturtium and portulaca are also on that list and, surprise-surprise for you long-time GR’s, wave petunias have forced their way in.

Perennials: sedum is now at the top of the list. Sedum spectabile “Stardust” looks terrific in open sun areas as a counterpoint to Geranium cantabrigiense “Biokovo” which will take heat but not full afternoon sun.

We have the old standbys of Autumn Joy, Brilliance and Vera Jameson doing yeoman service in several beds but we’ll definitely be looking at other varieties similar to Stardust. I confess to having planted several of the ground cover varieties, i.e. Sedum spurium “John Creech” and Sedum ruprestre “Angelique”, but I’m still wary of them escaping into the lawn.

Other good performers include, catmint (Nepeta racemosa “Walkers

Low’), Russian sage ( Perovskia atriplicifolia “Little Spire”) and anise-hyssop, (Agastache “Blue Fortune.”) Disappointments include both yarrow (Achillea) and coneflowers (Echinacea- believe it or not.)

Shrubs: the elderberries Sambucus canadensis “Aurea” and Sambucus nigra “Black Lace” are thriving but our Sambucus racemosa var pubens, aka Scarlet Elderberry is hurting. It will be one of those removed from the planting palette. Calycanthus floridus, Carolina Allspice, is thoroughly enjoying the heat, as is the Itea virginica “Little Henry”, sweetspire but it is tucked underneath taller densely foliated plants. Viburnums have responded differently, V. lentago (Nannyberry) and V. lantana (Mohican Wayfaring Tree) are happy; V. dentatum (we have a Blue Muffin standard form) has died.

The veggie garden held similar surprises, but that’s next week’s column.
