Campbellford family members feared for loved ones in path of Harvey Campbellford – The historic devastation caused by hurricane Harvey has impacted the life of Art and Anne Linton, who have family living in the path of the storm that brought catastrophic flooding to Texas, then Louisana.

“My sister Rosemary (Ender) lives in Fredericksburg, Texas, and the first thing I did when I learned of the hurricane was to phone her,” said Anne. She couldn’t reach her so she sent an email and had to wait two more days before she heard she was okay.

“That was stressful,” she said grimly.

Her sister’s son Steve lives in Beaumont, which has seen hospitals evacuated after floodwaters disabled the city’s pumping system, leaving more than 100,00 residents without drinking water.

“My nephew Steve is right in the middle of things,” said Anne, adding, “but he and his family are okay. They just can’t go anywhere.” It took more waiting for the family to learn about his fate, too.

“Steve finally got in touch with his mother yesterday,” said Anne, when interviewed Fri., Sept. 1. “Steve told us if he cast a line out of his home he could catch a fish,” she added, noting the family is making the best of the situation.

“It’s the stress that is taking its toll on everyone,” she commented.

Her sister’s daughter Lorraine lives in Porter, a suburb of Houston, and

Art and Anne Linton of Campbellford reached out to family living in Texas to find out if they are safe while they spent long hours watching the news on TV as hurricane Harvey slammed into Texas and then Louisiana.

Sue Dickens/Metroland

she is okay too. This writer was able to contact Lorraine by email.

“My experience is very emotional,” she wrote. “Most of my co-workers have had to leave their homes. I am okay but cannot drive anywhere. I am grateful that my family is doing okay.

My brother Steve is in Beaumont, Texas and so far he is okay.”

Lorraine has been working from home. “What bothers me the most is

that I cannot get out to help anyone here. Every Texan is helping one another. Military helicopters, FEMA, the national guard. The police officers are here saving people’s lives and they get to take their pets with them. Totally amazing. The Cajun Navy came over from Louisiana with boats and they are saving lives.”

“It is a real sad situation but I am learning from this,” she wrote.

“What has touched me the most is my Canadian family. How much they care about us and love us,” she stated.

Art and Anne Linton continue to watch the news on their TV as the media continues to report on the storm, which has now turned into a tropical storm and is still doing damage.

Madoc fair board scrambles to replace failed midway This was the first time that the Madoc fair board had contracted COPE Amusements to provide the midway and rides.

“And this will be our last,” said Madoc Agricultural Society President Matthew Tebworth.

The Madoc Fair Board held two emergency meetings to deal with the sudden situation.

“The board scrambled all weekend and talked to different midways and inflatable companies here to western Quebec and we got a few quotes,” explained Tebworth.

“Time is critical now. We couldn’t just sit on our hands. So we chose the amusement company Black Rock Climbers,” he told the Central Hastings News. He admitted this will mean increased costs to the agricultural society.

“It won’t be a typical midway. They have inflatables and a mobile rock climbing wall,” said Tebworth.

However, in a later decision the fair board members changed their minds and decided they are now using Main Event, an amusement company that offers more. As a result of the change and the financial pressure of the larger contract, they will charging Stirling-Rawdon and District Recreation Centre $20 per day for is currently seeking applicants for the position of the amusements.

Letter to the Editor: A Texan’s thoughts Skyrocketing gas prices hit the pumps on Hurricane Harvey (Editor’s Note – The following letter is submitted by Rosemary Ender, of Frederickburg, Texas, who is sister to Anne Linton, of Campbellford, featured in this week’s Trent Hills News.)

Dear Editor, I knew that Mother Nature was angry, but I’m thinking that she went a little too far this time, and that she should be required to go to anger management therapy over this.

I think that she abused her power when she slammed Texas with a drought, a burn ban, 100 degree temperatures, tornadoes and a hurricane all in one week - and then tried to blame it on the eclipse!

She must think that we are all kinds of stupid.

If ever you were going to buy a

beach house now would be the time.

Prime beach properties stretch on for miles and it’s a buyer’s market.

What could possibly go wrong?

Lately I’ve been hearing people saying “winter is coming!” (It’s a Game of Thrones warning of ominous things to come). l choose to think that this ominous “winter” warning manifested as hurricane Harvey. Harvey snarled and howled and he blew all around and over us. He knocked us down for about a minute then we got up on our feet and shook him off and with what little was left of him he retreated and watched.

What a wonderful sight, people helping people, courageous and committed to leaving no one behind trudging through that nightmare of water, united by purpose.

RETAIL BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY For an agency store in CORDOVA MINES LCBO RFP #2017-119 CORDOVA MINES An excellent business opportunity is now available to established retailers in Cordova Mines.

The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is seeking a responsible, customer-focused retailer to operate an LCBO Agency Store in Cordova Mines.

To qualify, the applicant must have an existing, currently operating retail business in the community and commit to operating the Agency store within established LCBO guidelines. To facilitate the sale of beverage alcohol products, the operator may be required to enter into separate commercial arrangements with the LCBO and domestic beer suppliers. The successful applicant will also be required to participate in a special LCBO server-training program to ensure the responsible sale of beverage alcohol products.

Since 1962, the LCBO has authorized more than 200 Agency stores to serve communities that have requested service but where the local population is too small to support a regular LCBO or beer store. These Agency stores are operated by local retailers within their existing retail business. Agency store contracts are normally awarded for a five-year term. In communities where there is currently an Agency store, as the contract nears expiry, the LCBO will take into consideration the fact that new businesses in the community may have been established and will allow an opportunity for all businesses in the community to compete for the next five-year term.

Operating an LCBO Agency Store provides a retailer with an excellent opportunity to increase revenue and attract customers while providing local residents with beverage alcohol services. Agency stores also deliver economic benefits to the community in many cases through job creation and increased customer traffic for local merchants.

For this competition, the LCBO must receive requests for the application package from interested businesses by mail before end of business day Friday, September 22, 2017. The application requests must quote the following information: RFP #2017-119 Cordova Mines Request for Application Package Procurement and Contract Management LCBO 1 Yonge Street, Suite 1404 Toronto, ON M5E 1E5 Please note: An application fee of $100 must be included with your request in order to receive an application package. Make the cheque or money order payable to the LCBO only.

In order to be considered for this business opportunity, applicants must submit to LCBO Procurement and Contract Management a completed proposal in the required format before the closing date and time, Friday, October 6, 2017, 3 p.m. local time. Late submissions will not be accepted and will be returned unopened.

6 Central Hastings Trent Hills News - Thursday, September 7, 2017

I was struck by the respect shown by rescuers who handled the few things that people carried and placed them in the boats as if they were priceless treasures.

I want to believe that this “winter”’ wasn’t so bad. Maybe we needed to be purged so that we would see clearly what is really important and embrace that.

Did we find that we could do much more than we thought and so we raised our standards and set new goals?

Surely that simmering anger, resentment, hate and intolerance that divided us faded away when we slept side by side, ate together and shared our stories, or perhaps, when we worked together for the common good.

You needn’t be brave about this but you must be humbled by it.

God is watching! He has His eye on the sparrow, and He has His eye on you. God never intended for anyone to go it alone. The ark was entered two by two and He said that we must be our brother’s keeper, so let’s just do that!- - - after all, that is the Golden Rule!

Peace out! And bunches of love to everyone.

BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford — The pain at the pumps hit home last week in Trent Hills when gas prices rose overnight from $1.09 per litre to $1.16 per litre.

Prices later rose to $1.24.

Most of the griping when prices rise happens because increases seem to coincide when it’s a holiday weekend and gas prices are "jacked up" but this time reports are attributing it to the impact of tropical storm Harvey on Houston and how it is affecting refineries and transportation and infrastructure.

Summer Patterson who manages the UPI gas bar on Grand Road said: “You could tell yesterday people knew before the price went up because my morning was packed.”

She is on the front line and knows people are not happy about it.

“But I am not getting complaints though because people know we don’t have any control over it at the station ... but this is affecting everybody,” she said. “We pump probably roughly, on a good day, 14,000 litres of gas,” she added.

Julie Harwood, a customer who arrived for gas today, Friday, Sept. 1, just as the long weekend was getting ready to begin, said “I’m only putting $10 in to get me to Monday or Tuesday, then I’ll see what happens.” She uses her car to get to and from work every day.

When asked about the gas price hikes

she said, “It’s ridiculous but what are you going to do?”

For Don Clarke who owns Don Clarke Construction it’s a big hit to his business.

“I’ve got four trucks on the road and today I am putting $120 in my truck. If the gas price stayed around $1 it would be fine, you can price it into your jobs but when you go to $1.16 or $1.25 then it comes out of the bottom end.”

He admits, “It’s not easy.” At the moment he is working at the Orchard Hill subdivision in Warkworth where he is the contractor on site and one of the owners.

“If the gas hike is because of what’s going on in Houston that’s fine but if it’s just an opportunity for people at the top to start to gouge then that’s not a reason,” he added with a stern face.

He also noted that the price of plywood has just gone up to $9 a sheet, because of the demand for it in the rebuilding of Houston.

Clarke said he has been through this type of cycle before. His advice to get through it? “You just tuck and roll, that’s the best way to survive.”

Lisa Curle arrived at UPI to get gas as she not only uses her vehicle to get to work but to pull their horse trailers. When asked if the hike will change her lifestyle she said, “Not really.”

Mary Ellis who works at a local drugstore said that gas has already gone up at a service centre at Brighton and in Trenton to $1.25 per litre.

OPINION

Disaster coverage – not voyeurism, it’s news

Climate creep and American frogs At least a decade ago, a retired general at the Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies said to me that the rich countries will never take climate change seriously until some very big and apclimate-relatGwynne Dyer parently ed disaster happens in a first-world country.

Hurricane Harvey was not that disaster.

At least 60 people have died in the Houston floods, and the number will undoubtedly go up. In Bangladesh, at least 134 have died in monsoon flooding that has submerged at least a third of the country. But the latter fact will have no impact on opinion in the developed countries – “it’s just the monsoon again” – and the Texas disaster is not big enough to change minds in the United States.

Nor should it.

Hurricanes are an annual event in the Gulf of Mexico, and their causes are well understood. Global warming has raised the amount of rain that this storm dumped on east Texas by 3-5 percent. (Higher sea surface temperature = more evaporation.) It also probably caused the changed wind patterns that kept Harvey loitering off the coast for so long.

But it did not cause Harvey.

The Houston floods are causing so much disruption and misery mainly because of human decisions: putting such a large population on a flood plain subject to frequent hurricanes, and then taking inadequate measures to protect those people from the inevitable consequences.

It’s the same story as Hurricane Katrina – and if more than a thousand dead in New Orleans twelve years ago didn’t change the way Americans deal with these threats, the current pain in Houston is certainly not going to do so either. Indeed, just a couple of weeks ago President Trump scrapped Obama-era flood standards requiring infrastructure projects to take account of predicted global warming.

There was no outcry.

Immerse a frog in boiling water, and it will immediately hop out. Put it in cold water and then slowly heat it, and the frog will not notice that it’s being boiled. The evidence is there, but it’s coming in too slowly to get its attention. Climate change is creeping in quietly, making normal weather a bit more extreme each year, and Americans haven’t noticed yet.

They get lots of help in maintaining their ignorance, of course. Right-wing “think

tanks” like the Institute of Energy Research, the Heartland Institute and the Competitive Enterprise Institute, financed by the likes of Exxon Mobil and the Koch brothers, have already mobilized to deny any links between the Houston disaster and climate change.

“Instead of wasting colossal sums of money on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, much smaller amounts should be spent on improving the infrastructure that protects the Gulf and Atlantic coasts,” said Myron Ebell, director of environmental policy at the Competitive Enterprise Institute (and formerly the head of Trump’s transition team at the Environmental Protection Agency, tasked with crippling it).

But do not despair: this is largely an American phenomenon, and the United States does not bulk as large in the climate equation as it used to. Almost all the other developed countries are taking the threat of large-scale climate change seriously, although they have left it a bit late and they’re still not doing enough.

Consider, for example, the Netherlands, which is almost as vulnerable to flooding as Bangladesh: a quarter of the country is below sea level. There is a sentence in the introduction to the annual report of the Delta Programme, which deals with the rising sea levels and other water-related issues that concern the Dutch, that would be quite unthinkable in a US government document even in Barack Obama’s administration.

It reads: “The Delta Programme is tasked with ensuring that flood risk management and the freshwater supply will be sustainable and robust by 2050, and that our country will be designed in a manner that enables it to continue to cope resiliently with the greater extremes of climate.” If the United States had started taking the Dutch approach twenty years ago, far less of Houston would be underwater today, but “designing our country”?

It’s un-American.

The United States will get there eventually, but it will take a far greater disaster than the Houston floods – the loss of Miami, perhaps?

– before it ends the ideological wars and starts dealing with the realities of its situation.

Meanwhile, the rest of the world will have to cope with climate change without American help. It can probably manage.

Even if we can stop the warming before +2 degrees C, however, it’s too late already to prevent major climate change. There will be bigger floods and longer droughts, food shortages and floods of refugees, and countries will have to work hard to limit the damage. Including, eventually, the United States.

Editorial by Chris Malette ‘You in the media, you mainstream media types, you’re all vultures, looking to sensationalize and embellish other people’s suffering to sell newspapers/reach viewers/get listeners/rack up page views.’

You’ve heard it all before – many of you probably recall yourselves saying it or at very least thinking it over the past couple weeks as coverage of Hurricane Harvey played out over repeated broadcast cycles.

One area amateur blogger thought it to be akin to pornography.

Everyone knows what’s happening in Houston right now. On Saturday (Aug. 26), Hurricane Harvey slammed the Texas …. People have died.

Thousands have been left without power… So many of us feel sick watching, impotent, helpless – and yet, we can’t seem to look away.

There’s a term for this. Disaster porn.

No. It’s not porn. This silly term has been used to describe everything someone wishes to dismiss as being overly exposed – from food to fast cars.

What we’ve been seeing and will continue to see whenever there are major disaster stories is this – news. Period. Plain, unvarnished, often raw footage of nature’s fury, a gunman, jihadist, forest fire, floods or blizzards – we’re going to cover it and do it with compassion and empathy, but do it professionally, because coverage of these sorts of events make for a more alert, compassionate, understanding and aware reader, viewer or listener.

There’s an excellent overview of the entire matter on the undisputed source for serious journalistic discourse, The Poynter Institute and Poynter.com. It can be found in its entirety here: https://www.poynter.org/news/exploitingsuffering-or-hogging-spotlight-media-slammedcovering-harvey-no-matter-how-they-do In part, it destroys the myth this is somehow “porn” or vulture-like voyeurism, of which some accuse the media in times when major disaster strikes.

“The reality is that disaster coverage is among the purest forms of public service journalism. To accuse the media of commercial motivations in Hurricane Harvey coverage is to profoundly misunderstand the business model. Like wars, famines and epidemics, natural disaster coverage is incredibly expensive because of resources that must be mobilized without notice. …

“For months, these local newsrooms will spend enormous amounts of money covering this disaster. And they’re not being rewarded with Super Bowl-sized audiences because the market has

spotty electrical service and so many people are displaced,” said Al Tompkins, Poynter’s senior faculty for broadcast. “Nobody in their right mind thinks extended coverage is a money maker…The reason to do this superhuman effort is because it is public service, vital journalism.”

And the toll this takes on small newsrooms is immeasurable in physical, psychological and emotional terms. (I know, we bore the brunt of covering the Russell Williams arrest and trial in a small daily newsroom in Belleville when I was editor there).

Many recall the encounter last week between a CNN reporter and a mother who escaped the floods to a Houston shelter, only to watch as the mother began berating the reporter for interviewing her at a time like that: … “people are really breaking down, and y’all sitting here with cameras and microphones trying to ask us, ‘What the f--- is wrong with us?’”

We, as journalists in smaller centres or large, have all been accosted in similar fashion while doing our jobs. Do we intend to be obstinate and obtrusive? For the vast majority of us, no, not at all. Are pelpe going to see us as uncaring when we are interviewing and photographing people at their most vulnerable, their most wounded?

Absolutely. It’s how we conduct ourselves when we’re being called the most vile things because we understand that, in order to get the true feel, emotion and impact of a disaster or tragic story, we’re going to have to be in the thick of it, asking the sometimes difficult questions.

None of us wants to be the reporter who has to talk to the mother who has lost a child, the husband who has lost a wife, a family that has lost everything to a fire or tornado, but we do so in order to get the reader the entire story and in most cases, those readers will be the first to respond to the call for help or support for those affected.

I recall several years ago when coming back from covering famine relief by the Canadian air force in Somalia in 1992 and later a UN mission in Haiti, donations among local readers to Red Cross and other charities working in both zones spiked when our stories and images were printed.

There’s an impact beyond the gasp, the groan or the tear for those who are in the midst of the tragedy.

It’s not porn, its not voyeurism, it’s not traipsing over victims’ dignity in order to get a sexy story. It’s news, it’s what we do and it’s important to understand the world in which we live and how it unfolds – often, tragically.

Trent Hills bylaw change coming to control use of trailers as storage

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Trent Hills — The use of storage containers and tractor trailers as alternatives to accessory buildings where things are stored will be the subject of a zoning bylaw amendment.

They're already being used throughout the municipality on a short-term basis during the construction of a building, but in some cases “temporary uses become long-term,” planning director Jim Peters said in a report to council Aug. 1.

“In other circumstances, property owners have been using these types of

containers as a permanent storage solution,” in place of a constructed accessory building, he said.

Some of “the containers are in poor condition and placed on properties in such a way (they) generate complaints about appearance.”

“There's nothing clear in the zoning bylaws that tells us how to deal with this,” he told council.

Containers used within urban areas for extra storage are “usually ... done very appropriately.”

However, if their owners wanted to have 10 rather than two, “we don't re-

ally have any way (of) limiting that at this point,” Peters said.

There are rusty, derelict, old truck trailers as well “and we get complaints about them.”

Deputy Mayor Bob Crate said the municipality “should be doing something” to control the use of trailers and containers “to make sure that it's done in a respectful way for the neighbourhood.”

“I don't like the trucks and trailers being used,” Mayor Hector Macmillan said.

Too often they're “unpainted, unsightly” and “look like scrap,” he said. “And I don't

think that's fair to the property owners next door.”

He has fewer concerns with shipping containers, he added, speaking favourably of their versatility and general appearance.

People are buying them for storage units and end up living inside them, Councillor Rosemary Kelleher-MacLennan said.

“We should keep an eye out (for that).”

Macmillan agreed: “It may not be a problem now, but it's certainly a potential problem.”

“It may also be a solution,” he added, for people who have “income problems” or “don't want the mainte-

nance” that goes along with owning larger homes.

Tiny houses — 30 square metres or 323 square feet — “are taking off,” Macmillan said. “It's become big business,” “I can see a subdivision of tiny containers.”

“We get calls all the time, 'I'd like to put a shipping container house on this lot,'” Peters said.

On his recommendation, council directed that a zoning bylaw amendment be drafted that sets out when, where and how storage containers and truck trailers are to be used, along with their placement and number.

Havelock — Good fortune is ready to smile on both the Havelock and Norwood Community Care offices.

The annual Tim Hortons Smile Cookie campaign, running Sept. 11-17 in Havelock, will be in support of the local Community Care office.

Proceeds from the sales of the popular cookie will go directly to the organization, which provides a variety of services in Havelock and Norwood. Each year, the restaurant picks a local cause to support through the Smile Cookie campaign.

“The more we’re out in the community, whether it’s with fundraising or any other activity, it’s all positive,” Community Care Peterborough board member Sharon Davis of Havelock said. “We offer so many services, and services that people don’t even realize. The more recognition and publicity we can get for the organization, the better off we are.”

Between the two offices, Community Care serves nearly 500 clients with over 100 volunteers helping out.

Havelock volunteer and board member Les Morris noted that he had just made arrangements to send out 218 frozen meals to clients.

“Services like that are so important to people who can’t get out of their homes,” he said. “Sometimes, Community Care isn’t recognized for all the work it does, so (the Smile Cookie campaign) is an awareness program as well.”

“It’s something we take pride in,” Tims manager Trisha Deshane said. “It’s one of the many activities we do to give back to the community and Community Care is a great cause.”

The staff spend “a lot of time competing against each other to see who can raise the most money shift versus shift. It’s a very exciting spot to be around to see how we’re pushing,” Deshane said.

The normal chocolate chip cookies are taken off the shelf and replaced with Smile cookies, she said.

The highest number of Smile Cookies they’ve sold in recent years was around 9,000, she added.

Stirling—Got stuff you don't need? Need stuff you don't have? Stirling-Rawdon has the solution.

On Saturday, Sept. 9, between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., residents of Stirling-Rawdon will be putting free, usable items they want to get rid of by their driveways and curbs.

Throughout the day, people can travel around the township and pick up any free items they want.

The event goes rain or shine, but those putting items out are asked to cover anything that rain will

hurt if the weather takes a turn for the worst, or bring those items back inside and leave a sign out front saying what they have available.

There will be no special waste pickup for leftover items. Anything left over after 6 p.m. can be donated to various organizations, including Beautiful Things Stirling (613-395-1038), Canadian Diabetes Association (1-800-505-5525) and Belleville's Komputers For Kids (6213-391-9586), or can be dropped off in Belleville at Value Village, Bibles For Missions and the Salvation Army.

But even if you don't win, you could get a free ice cream cone from The Scoop ice cream shop, located right across the street. “We wanted to do something fun to start off the fall and get people into the stores downtown,� said acting library CEO Jaye Bannon. “The Friends of the Library have paired up with The Scoop ice cream. The first 50 people who come into the library on Saturday (Sept. 9) will get a coupon for free ice cream.�

There are two ways to take part in the scavenger hunt. For the main hunt, people get a list of questions at the library, and then

have to visit local stores in the downtown to get the answers. A second hunt is taking place within the library itself, with a different set of questions. “The list of questions leads them into different departments of the library,� Bannon explained.

Completed questionnaires from both hunts will be entered in a draw for a family movie night gift basket with coupons for pizza, snacks, and drinks donated by Jim's Special Pizza and Pro One Stop and a couple of familyfriendly videos.

Bannon also reminds parents that the Read With Me program for parents and tots will resume at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept.

Rotary Club of Campbellford Hastings Medieval Festival elects new executive, plans for filled with pageantry, colour international convention

BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford — A new president is at the helm of the Rotary Club of Campbellford.

Cathy Beamish took over the seat following the annual election with past president Kimberly Hulsman and others on board for another term.

Art Chamberlain is secretary.

Directors include Andy Hornsby; Ken Hulsman; Tom Dafoe; Bob Connor; Rob Pope and John Russell; and Sergeant-atArms is Tom Holmes.

Gearing up for the Rotary International Convention which is happening on June 23 to June 27, 2018 in Toronto, the club invited Richard McGowan, executive director for Emmanuel International Canada to a lunch meeting to talk about the event.

McGowan is president of the Uxbridge Rotary Club which is in the same district as the Campbellford club, District 7070. His wife Pam, also a Rotary member, is the international chairperson for 2017-2018.

McGowan was a recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Award in 2012 and he and his wife are both Paul Harris Fellows.

The message the couple brought to the Campbellford club was about the agenda and the impact of the event and its need for vol-

unteers.

“It is a world class event attracting tens of thousands of people,” he explained.

“It’s an opportunity for you to meet many people from around the world. It’s too good to miss.”

When the international convention was held in Atlanta, Georgia in June, close to 25,000 descended on the city to participate.

“We already have bookings for 13,500 people and we’re looking for around 20,000 to 25,000 people in the GTA,” noted McGowan.

Five Rotary districts in the Great Lakes region are underwriting the event including District 7070 which includes Campellford’s club.

McGowan pointed out there are many opportunities for involvement from being an ambassador, to home hospitality, on-site volunteer, to sponsorship and as an exhibitor.

“We need 1,200 volunteer ambassadors,” McGowan said.

The theme of the event is “inspiration around every corner.”

The executive of the Rotary Club of Campbellford meets again Sept. 5 and their next lunch meeting is Sept. 11.

Members of the Canton of Petrea Thule Society for Creative Anachronism group battle at the second annual Hastings Medieval Festival.

Bill Freeman/Metroland

BY BILL FREEMAN

Hastings – There was plenty of colourful pageantry, sword play and exhibits at the second annual Hastings Medieval Festival Sept. 2-3 at Fowlds Millennium Park.

Hosted by the Hastings-based medieval re-enactment and educational ensemble Blades of Glory, the event drew strong crowds and a larger group of participating organizations, some travelling from Ottawa and Toronto. There were seven organizations involved, last year there were five.

Sunday’s program, dampened by wet weather, included the Mary McGillis Fairy and Dragon Festival from Lakefield.

The weekend was both a celebration of history and the imaginative re-creation of ancient times, says Montse Alvarado of The Blades of Glory. It gave visitors with a fascination with the rituals, warrior battles, armour, aesthetics and even technology of medieval times to talk to re-enactors who’ve taken their own interests to authentic extremes.

There was also an enormous entertainment quotient, Alvarado added.

“There is everything from authentic re-enactments to total imagination,” she said.

Much of what was on display was based on historic documents but there was also room for live action role playing and “total fantasy.”

The seven participating groups with displays and demonstrations included Linnagond (Peterborough Amtgard) a Live Action Role Play (LARP) group; Canton of Petrea Thule of Peterborough, a Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) group; the Peterborough Fencing Club; Kingston’s Iron-

wood Sword School, an Historic European Martial Arts (HEMA) group; Ottawa Swordplay another HEMA group; the Viking re-enactment ensemble Wulfthorpe from Waterloo and The Blades of Glory knights following the Medieval Armoured Combat Entertainment (MACE) style.

There were also craft vendors, entertainment, a medium, face painting and a reptile by GNP Reptile Rescue.

“In a couple of years it has grown. Imagine the potential,” said Alvarado. “This is just the beginning. As they say, if you build it they will come and we’ve built it and they’re coming.”

Julia Shkarupsna and her children Kalina, six, and Veras, two, from Dartford are members of the Wulfthorpe Viking re-enactment troupe were at the second annual Hastings Medieval Festival.

Alpacas are a “shear” delight for Stirling woman Stirling resident Ruby Candler just loves alpacas, and one of her favourites is Shah-Boom, born this year at her family’s Oak Hills Alpaca Farm.

Man charged in serious wounding Seymour Township - A 72-year-old man has been arrested following an investigation by the Northumberland OPP after responding to a report of an assault with a weapon at a resort on Coles Point Road.

Terrance George Elsom, of Trent Hills, is charged with attempted murder and aggravated assault.

The OPP received the report on Aug. 29. Reports at the time said a man had called 911 reporting he and he had stabbed a woman after learning they were to be evicted from their trailer at a seasonal trailer park.

The resort is located in Seymour Township within the municipality of Trent Hills.

Upon arrival at the scene officers located a woman, the victim, (who was not named) at the seasonal residence. She had to be transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital with serious injuries. OPP refused to divulge the name of the hospital.

Police in a statement said they “are guided by the Victim Bill of Rights that guards their identities and so victims are not named without their consent or no identifiers are given to the media that

might compromise their privacy.”

Elsom was arrested at the scene and was also transported to hospital for medical treatment.

He was later discharged and remained in custody until his appearance at the Ontario Court of Justice in Cobourg Aug. 30.

The ongoing investigation is being conducted by detectives from the Northumberland Crime Unit, under the direction of Det. Staff Sgt. Paul Rosato of the OPP Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB).

Investigators advise that there are no public safety concerns.

“It’s been fun. It’s been a lot of work,” says Peter Oord of the Norwood Lions Club, which partnered with the Township of

They settled on the historic 140-year-old town hall where the Lions meet three times a month, but which is underutilized.

“We decided on renovating the kitchen. That was the initial start of it. It was just a terrible kitchen to work in,” Oord recalled.

“From that, we decided we needed to make some changes to the town hall, get the ceiling looking better, and paint the walls. The colours were getting old.”

Two crews of six “gutted the kitchen right to the bare walls” on June 5 and 6. That work included knocking out a dividing wall and opening up the space. It’s now completely open-concept with a centre island, cabinets, moving plate carriers, and commercial dishwasher (acquired through auction Lakefield District High’s old machine for $600; brand new, it’s worth $14,000).

“Removing the kitchen wall was a major, major aspect of it. When people worked in the kitchen, they were always trying to talk to each other through a doorway or wall. Now, it’s com-

people with disabilities, specifically hearing loss.”

The launch was a celebration of her book, it was also her birthday and “a tribute to my mother Dr. Cheryl Gibson,” she said.

When her mother died in January Jennifer had just started her fifth novel in the series of books about a hearing impaired teenager named Jessie who tries her best to blend in at school. Jennifer’s mom is featured in Hope as Jessie’s mom.

“I had to put it on hold for several months while I dealt with the new changes in my life and process everything internally,” she told the Trent Hills News.

In 1970, Jennifer was born with a severe-to-profound hearing loss due to congenital rubella. Her personal journey as a writer, photographer, graphic designer, public speaker and avid athlete (earned a black belt) has brought her to a place in time when she wants to do more.

“After the death of my mother, I had to sit down and really think about what I wanted to do with my life. Most of all, I wanted to be able to make her proud. As someone with a disability, I especially wanted to be able to contribute to the society as much as I can.”

Having written numerous articles for other organizations including

the Canadian Hard of Hearing Association (CHHA) she decided to check out a group online called Disabled Writers.

“This is an organization that provides opportunities for people like me to talk about issues associated with my disability,” she said.

“There are still a lot of misconceptions surrounding disabilities and as a result, we tend to be left out or have difficulty in participating on an equal platform with the rest of the society,” she added.

“That’s exactly what I’m here for, to provide more insight into a different world. It’s not about gaining sympathy, it is about creating a more compassionate and open-minded society that benefits everyone.”

Jennifer's awa rd - w i n n i n g series is now available worldwide at Amazon; KOBO; iTunes; and Barnes & Noble.

Centennial community legacy projects are being encouraged by Lions Internation for the 100th anniversary year. This is the Campbellford club’s way of participating. The fundraising is happening in partnership with 30 regional Lions and Lionesses clubs.

The Peterborough health centre performs up to 3,000 procedures each year and patients come from throughout Peterborough, Northumberland and Haliburton counties as well as the City of Kawartha Lakes.

It was the PRHC’s surgical experts that identified the fact that their current surgical cataract unit, a critical piece of equipment essential to their ability to offer the service, must be replaced as the current unit is more than 10 years old and can no longer be

maintained.

Replacing it now will allow PRHC to take advantage of new technology that will enable faster recoveries and safer procedures for cataract operations, including less trauma to a patient’s eyes.

Centennial community legacy projects can involve three different types of participation. The first is raising community visibility in different ways such as with signage, donation of a park bench and so on. The second is by providing a community gift such as

Marmora Pentecostal Church hosts free annual family fun day

Fall Check Up

BY SUE DICKENS

Marmora – Marmora Pentecostal Church hosted its free family fun day recently and for the seventh year in a row the event was deemed a success by the kids, their parents and the organizers.

The town’s family fun festival celebrates Marmora and is a civic holiday weekend tradition.

A 70- foot obstacle castle filled one corner of Memorial Park where nearby volunteers looked after several different kinds of games which kept everyone busy for the 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. celebration.

Games including a fishing pond, sack races, hay (treasure) hunt for prizes filled the field offering plenty of activities for children including face painting and more.

Live music was provided by Dave and Jennifer Cowan.

There was popcorn, barbecued hamburgers and hot dogs, pop and water.

Arwen Pureven from Trenton was there with her cousins from Marmora. “The best part of the day is hanging out with my friends,” she told the Central Hastings News. “I’ve been here last year and the year before,” she said with a big grin while helping her young cousins at the fishing pond.

Nearby Jessica’s Animal Adventures from Norwood was set up and displayed reptiles including a Bearded Dragon, a corn snake and two pythons. Jessica and Nick Goslin rescue reptiles among other animals and provide this free show hoping to education children on “the much misunderstood” creatures. They have done shows at local schools and churches.

Blake Metz, 7 and his sister four-year-old Audrey Metz were with their parents who were headed home to Ottawa and were “just passing through when we saw this fun celebration.”

The siblings checked out the

refurbishing a park or playground etc. The third is having an impact on the community by expanding a library or school, equipping area hospitals etc.

The Campbellford club chose the latter.

“We go to events we educate people and make sure people are not impulse buying animals and that they are doing research if getting an exotic animal,” said Nick.

They have about seven different species of snakes and some spiders too.

Church Pastor Alvin Peddle said, “Today is a fun day for the community for the kids.”

Church member in charge of

children’s programming and volunteer Wendy Bateman agreed.

“It’s a fun family day, an opportunity for us to get out and just have fun with the people in our community.”

Campbellford — The bottle drive held recently at The Beer Store by the Auxiliary to Campbellford Memorial Hospital raised $677 which will be put toward their overall goal this year of $30,000 to purchase a BiPAP machine.

“Not bad for a few hours at The Beer Store! Thanks to the generosity of the people of Campbellford. They always come through to help the hospital,” said Betty Leppanen, past president of the Auxiliary.

President Christine Hallett agreed. She was there for the fundraiser along with others in the Auxiliary who volunteered their time. “It was a good day,”

she commented.

The BiPAP machine will cost approximately $30,000.

“We have been fundraising for this since April 1. Our fiscal year is April 1 to March 31. So far, we have had several fundraising events and are well on the way to achieving our goal,” said Hallett.

The word BiPAP (also referred to as BPAP) stands for Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure and the machine is very similar in function and design to a CPAP machine (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure).

As well as being similar to a CPAP machine, a BiPAP machine is a non-invasive form of therapy for patients suffering from sleep apnea.

Any fundraising the Auxiliary takes on is always successful, volunteers say.

“Last year, we were able to raise more than our goal and had sufficient funds to cover the cost of the barrier curtain system for the hospital, in addition to the cystoscope and PACS workstation,” Hallett added.

The specialized curtains aid in blocking viruses and other harmful germs, avoiding transmission to other patients in care.

Already planning their next fundraiser, the Auxiliary will be holding a bazaar on Saturday, Nov. 18 at St. John’s United Church.

Cars were stars at this Labour Day classic

BY CHRIS MALETTE

Thurlow – Neighbours in the north Sidney Street neighbourhood where John Foley invites fans of chrome and aspirated engines no doubt have to be patient with the rumble of thunder coming from Foley’s yard.

Every Labour Day, Foley, a classic car and boat buff, hosts ‘Foley’s Yard Thunder’ and invites friends and fellow car lovers to come out for food and drink and a lot of chrome and lovingly restored cars and trucks.

Friend Ron Smith said this was the third year of the event and “it’s grown every year.

“The first year, he had about 23 or so cars,” said Smith who helped Foley prepare for the front and side lawn concourse of classic iron. “Last year there weremore and this year we’re going to be close to 40.”

There’s no admission, it’s largely pot luck, but Foley puts on a barbecue for friends and invitees and no one shoos away anyone who pulls over to the side of the road and strolls over for a look at the lovingly-restored vehicles that festoon the lawn.

“It’s just all about celebrating the work all these guys have put into their vehicles,” said Foley. “A place where they can relax and show off their cars, meet their friends and enjoy Labour Day.”

There were cars of all eras on the lawn of Thurlow resident John Foley’s home on the north end of Sidney Street Monday for the Third Annual Foley’s Yard Thunder car show and barbecue. See more photos on page 8.

Barbershop chorus seeks new director

BY JACK EVANS

The Quinte region chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society, A Cappella Quinte, is seeking a new chorus leader following the unexpected loss of Bloomfield musician Patrick Headley.

Headley took over at the first of the year and proved himself a competent and popular leader of the 35-voice choir, including the annual show last spring. Despite hopes for a long and fun relationship, Headley became no longer available because of a new career opportunity which was a “must go” for him to continue to support his family, to a senior full-time teaching position to a private college out of

the area.

The chorus has established a search committee and actively seeks applicants for this position, which carries a modest salary and an opportunity to work with a fun group, which has become a major player in the area’s cultural fabric over around 40 years.

The chorus practices Tuesday evening in the back hall of Calvary Temple on Dundas Street West, plus a number of public performances at community events in the area and an annual major show in the spring.

Those interested can contact Steve Hall, 613-968-4073 or email snedehall@sympatico.ca.

Quinte Ex goes out with a roar amid puddles

BY JACK EVANS

Belleville - Following long-established tradition, it seems you can’t have a Quinte Exhibition without at least one or more days of heavy rain.

The closing day of the Quinte Exhibition Sunday helped keep the fair’s reputation intact.

Rubber boots were the order of the day for many fairgoers and numbers were down, particularly during the early hours of the day, but crowds perked up by mid-afternoon as rain clouds moved out, plus the major attraction of a demolition derby for the grandstand program at 7 p.m.

One area not much affected by the weather was inside the Curling Club building where school arts and crafts, domestic skills, baking competition and more held court.

A large display and demonstration by Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo in one corner drew a large crowd of children and their parents. The lecturer, Peter Surges, also allowed the children to hold a large tarantula on the palm of their hands and to handle a large, but potentially ornery, snapping turtle and other critters.

Given the reduced attendance because of the rain, the Quinte Ex may not have gone out with a bang, but with the demolition derby, it was certainly with a roar.

Peter Surges, with the Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo, shows off a large tarantula during a lecture to a large crowd of children and parents inside the Curling Club building on the last day of the Quinte Exhibition Sunday. The reptile collection and show was one of the more popular attractions at this year’s fair.

Guild’s one act plays draw strong support

B & E suspect nabbed after a string of crimes

BY JACK EVANS

BY BILL FREEMAN

Judging from the attendance and generous applause Wednesday, Aug. 30, the Belleville Theatre Guilds annual One Act Play Festival has established itself as a solidly popular event.

This year’s presentation covered five short plays, all by writers in the immediate community. The interest in writing for this event drew the comment from Liz Marshall, BTG program director that “ We were overwhelmed by the number of submissions this year. Our area is becoming a hotbed of new writers.”

The evening’s program also spans a wealth of new acting and directing talent, although most of the casts, by necessity, were small.

The audience roared with laughter at several points as veteran local playwright Peter Paylor’s play called “The Green Thumb Gang” unfolded. Directed by Terry Boyd, the play stars Judie Preece and Kathryn Dalmer as two elderly women apparently caught red-handed in an apartment break-in, but arguing that they were only trying to water the plants and feed the cat. Marvin Tucker plays the frustrated apartment owner and Jamie Hosking, the detective.

Garry Kirsch of Tweed, penned the crime drama, “Unbecoming,” directed by Enno Busse. Brief and intense, the story is of two police detectives working on a gruesome case by a serial psychopathic killer.

A chance for young actors to show their stuff was offered in “Summer on the Bench,”

by Sarah Harren, about a young teenager infatuated with a boy to whom she had loaned a pencil. Making her directing debut for this was Maija Thompson. The cast was Logan Ramsay, Fiona Dodsworth, Alex Pordham (still a youth and already with several BTG shows under his belt) and Dylan Kemp.

Another new writer is Keith Taylor of Picton, whose play, “Therapy” involves several mental patients and a doctor. Lisa Morris, director, described her cast as “the perfect combination of playwright, actors and director. I can’t wait to do it again.” The cast is a rebellious Sydnee

Asphodel-Norwood– A 38-year-old Peterborough man was arrested by police Thursday (Aug. 31) morning after a string of reported break-ins along County Road 2 and the Third Line of Asphodel.

Peterborough County OPP officers were called to the area shortly before 10:30 a.m. to investigate the break-ins and identified a suspect using home surveillance video from one of the residences. The officers

Wilson as Sheila, a new participant in the sessions, Sylvia Wan, Kirsten Skltodt, Brad Kassier and Bryan Coates.

Another surprise ending, and some great acting.

Finally, seasoned actor Colin Leonard owned the stage as the key character in “A Kiss To Build a Dream On.” On their 50th wedding anniversary, a couple share their reflections on their lives with the owner of their favourite café. Colin’s wife, Nora, was played by Victoria Farrell and Katie, the café owner by Sara

Hadley. Poignant and witty, this was a first effort by Penny Barker of Belleville and to keep it in the family, the director was her daughter, Heather Barker, a BTG regular.

Notables in the opening night audience included Lesley Bonisteel from the Old Church Theatre and Caroline Smith, founder and long-time operator of the Stirling Festival Theatre.

The guild’s regular season opens Oct. 12 with the American classic, “Our Town,”by Thornton Wilder, directed by Ian Feltham.

located the suspect after a stolen ATV he was riding ran out of fuel and he attempted to hide in a garage.

Lucas Albert Nehrling, 38, of Peterborough was charged with three counts of break, enter and theft under $5,000, possession of break-in tools, wearing a disguise while committing an indictable offence, theft over $5,000 (ATV), resisting a police officer and two counts of failing to comply with recognizance.

ONE CHILD with cancer is one

TOO MANY

The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) recognizes that one child with cancer is one too many. The toll that cancer can take on children and their families is significant. That’s why, at CCS, we continue to invest in Canada’s best childhood cancer research, and we’re Canada’s largest national charitable funder of childhood cancer research.

Thanks to our generous donors, over the past 15 years we have funded over $50 million in childhood cancer research, supporting more than 170 projects.

Here are two examples of research conducted by leading scientists who have received funding from CCS. Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is the most common type of leukemia in adults, and it can also affect children. Some people begin with less aggressive diseases called myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and later develop AML. By studying abnormal blood stem cells, Dr Mick

Bhatia and his team at McMaster University developed a new way of predicting who will progress from MDS toAML,which could help guide treatment to fend off this aggressive cancer. With further research, this could lead to personalized risk predictions and treatment options for children with MDS to fend off AML. Dr Cynthia Hawkins and her team are searching for better ways to diagnose and treat childhood cancers of the central nervous system (CNS) – the brain and spinal cord. Dr Hawkins met with international experts to update the World Health Organization’s classification system for CNS tumours. Based on her research, an entirely new diagnostic category was created, which is changing tumour testing around the world.

Help us continue to fund Canada’s best cancer research.

It was a fan- I remember thinking that this was a magical tastic day for me, for I’d been a fan since back public relations move, for these youngsters in the sixties – when the Packers won the very would probably become avid fans for life!

Well, I had the opportunity to return to first Super Bowl (1966). I recall that I’d been very impressed by the stadium tour itself, but Green Bay this year. It wasn’t during training what had stood out as my favourite highlight camp this time, but I again had the opportuof all had been the team’s tradition, before the nity to take the Stadium Tour. Since I’d been actual practice, of riding a child’s bicycle from told about the recently remodeled Green Bay Lambeau Field (the game day playing field) Packers Hall of Fame, I was definitely interto the nearby Ray Nitschke Field (the practice ested in a revisit, and I decided to concentrate on that particular part of the tour this time. I field just across the road).

What makes this all the more phenomenal is that the Green Bay Packers are the only community- owned NFL team (no billionaire EXPERIENCE THE ROAD TO owner here) – and the team plays in the league’s smallest market/city.

Jim Taylor. There was, of course, a special tribute to longtime coach Vince Lombardi, who stated “There is only one way to succeed in anything, and that is to give it everything.”

Several of his famous ‘words of wisdom’ are posted on these walls. There was also a replica of Curly Lambeau’s office, with his desk, and a reminder of the “Lambeau Leap” (an aftertouchdown tradition here since 1993). There was a detailed description of the famous “Ice Bowl” of 1967, won by the Packers over the Cowboys (when it was so cold that the officials couldn’t use the metal whistles, for they would stick to their lips!). Then I entered the trophy room and was surrounded by the ‘World Champions’ trophies (13 of them) and the 4 ‘Super Bowls’.

In addition to my exploration of the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame, I, of course, toured the Lambeau Field Stadium, too (where more than 80,000 boisterous fans attend every home game!). I walked through the wide, welcoming tunnel that leads from the home team’s dressing room out onto the field, while a recording of the roaring fans could be heard over a

loudspeaker. However, once we emerged from the tunnel, the field itself was ‘off limits’. This is considered ‘sacred ground’ and it’s only to be looked at, not walked upon. As we walked about on the sidelines, though, we could see the opposing team’s entrance tunnel – and it was much smaller, narrower. It was as if ‘the enemy’ was emerging into a hostile, intimidating environment!

Our tour guide told us that he was one of about 60 retired people who led these stadium tours. They’re very popular! I was also told that if it snowed just prior to a home game, up to 500 volunteers would appear to help clear the snow from the stands (and many actually applauded the lack of a dome, for they preferred playing ‘real football’, exposed to the elements!). On game day, there’d be a sea of green and gold (their colours) and a plethora of cheeseheads in the stands. I was also told that about 20,000 pounds of cheese curds would be sold and consumed there per game!

Take It Outside

Hi! Carson here: New columnist on the block

to start our relationship is with a little honesty.

While I love plants and specifically moved to a farm to have more space for the gardens, I’m not actually a gardener. I’m a landscape designer.

Landscaping is more than just the plants; it includes all of the components of outdoor design, including creating those amazing outdoor rooms that are the hottest trend right now.

As a representative for HGTV Canada, Better Homes and Gardens and Cityline, I travel all across North America helping homeowners define their outdoor spaces. However,

BY CARSON ARTHUR when I walk into a yard for the As this is my inaugural ar- first time, I look at the space ticle, I think the best way for us very differently than some of

my industry colleagues. I don’t design based on where the roses, or the hydrangeas, or the boxwoods will go. Instead, I start with creating useable space.

I make decks, patios, seating areas work for homeowners. I love creating areas that are all about outdoor living and while plants are still part of the picture; I work to blend them with the outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, pergolas and patios so that the entire outdoor space reads as one cohesive area.

With all of the new studies and information about how the outdoors impact home value; landscaping has now joined kitchens and bathrooms at the top of the renovation list when it comes to making a return on

investment. There will always be good and bad choices when it comes to home renovations.

For 90 percent of Canadians, our homes are our largest assets. I want to help you enjoy your property and then make the most for it when it comes time to sell, because even if you are not selling today, tomorrow or in 15 years ... who wants to sell their home for less money then it is actually worth?

As I travel back and forth across the country, I will bring you a close up of what others are doing in their own spaces and what the provincial trends are. (And yes, the grass does seem a little greener in Victoria.)

As we get to know each

other, you’re going to see that I have lots of opinions. I will try and blend the good with the bad and be as charming as possible with my tongue firmly in my cheek. I will also make sure that a keep healthy dose of common sense in all of my content. I want to make greener choices in my life and will help you do the same as we work towards making your outdoor space beautiful. I am going to share some amazing before and after photos of my best makeovers and I have lots of DIY projects for you to try. I’m even going to let you in on my own personal failures. We’re going to discuss furniture, privacy, and even plants and how everything impacts you and your

home.

I am always open for your questions too. In fact, I will even include some of them in my upcoming articles. If you ever have an issue or need some help, you can always reach me through social media or feel free to call into my radio program on 800CJBQ on Saturdays at 12:30. I firmly believe that there are no bad questions.

Odds are, if you are thinking it, so is someone else!

So even though I may be the new kid on the block, I’m going to be your personal outdoor expert; helping you make the most of your front and backyards and one day you can invite me over for a barbeque in your amazing new space.

Overdose prevention program marks one year of service Hastings Prince Edward Public Health celebrated one year of the Lifesaver Program on Aug. 31. This drug overdose prevention program was launched last year on August 31, which is International Overdose Awareness day.

Since the program’s launch, 188 Lifesaver kits have been distributed to service users, family members and friends, and 19 kits have been refilled. Over the last year, HPEPH has provided over 600 hours of education on overdose prevention to local community partners.

The Lifesaver program is a community-based Naloxone distribution program aimed at reducing avoidable deaths from opioid overdose.

It is offered to individuals currently taking opioids, or those who have taken opioids in the past.

Naloxone is an effective antidote for opioid overdoses, and works by temporarily reversing the effects of opioids in the brain and restoring normal breathing in the unconscious person.

The Lifesaver Program involves training people to recognize the signs of overdose and to use Naloxone to save lives. Par-

ticipants are provided with a Lifesaver kit that contains all the supplies necessary to administer Naloxone in the event of an overdose.

A key component of the program involves ensuring that participants understand the importance of calling 911 as soon as they suspect an opioid overdose, to initi-

ate emergency response and support.

Opioid overdose can slow or stop breathing, slow heart rate and blood pressure, reduce body temperature, and cause the victim to be unresponsive. Affected persons may also experience a seizure or a heart attack. Opioids are found in both illegal and prescription drugs.

Aging population a challenge for county

BY JACK EVANS

If Hastings County is going to address the needs of an aging population, it must move to support small pods of affordable housing for seniors from Centre to North Hastings.

A summer intern for Hastings County, Meredith Stevenley-Watson, drew high praise from council councillors for her report on needs for special assisted living space by county seniors. She made her presentation to council Thursday, Aug. 31.

Stevenley-Watson reported data she had collected on the needs from county and other statistics, plus interviews with senior citizens, particularly those on lower income. She also said she visited several types of suitable accommodations, particularly one in nearby Apsley. The needs for care workers should involve more than a mere one hour per day, as set by the Local Health Initiatives Network (LHIN), she argued, and creating clusters of specialized residential units would best solve that problem.

Stevenley-Watson’s key recommendations were for small units designed for rent geared to income seniors in places such as Bancroft, Tweed, and Madoc, with a large complex of apartment type units built on county-owned property behind Hastings Manor. Proximity to downtown centres is a key factor, she stressed. Such units should also allow married seniors to share the same space or at least the same building.

The latter point drew strong support from one reeve who cited a case of a married couple in their 90s living in two different facilities and pining to

be together.

Several council members reported knowledge of similar cases and reinforced the report on the need. “People are banging on our doors all the time for assisted living space for seniors,” said Mayor Tom Deline of Centre Hastings. Bancroft acting Mayor Jim Jenkins reported similar experiences.

Deline suggested such spaces would obviate the

need for personal care workers to drive all over the county to serve clients and thus save the province money.

CAO Jim Pine said the report would need further details which staff would be pleased to provide and council should act to start implementing such ideas, with or without help from senior governments. No further action was taken at the meeting.

Hastings County supports sales tax hike for infrastructure

BY JACK EVANS

Belleville - There was some hesitancy by a couple of members, but Hastings County Council members were in agreement that infrastructure must take priority.

Chief administrative officer Jim Pine reminded that in Eastern Ontario alone, “infrastructure is falling behind more than $135 million dollars every year. We all know infrastructure gets a year older every year and we cannot keep raising taxes at the rate of eight to 10 per cent a year to maintain buildings and roads properly.”

He urged council to support the position of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) in its call for the province to increase the sales tax by one per cent and earmark the proceeds for an apportionment to each municipality.

Even at that, there wold be five provinces with sales tax rates higher than Ontario, Pine said, recalling that

at one time the rate was 14 per cent. The funds would be ongoing and something councils could budget on year by year.

“Even that amount won’t fully cover the increase annually of infrastructure upkeep,” he said. Current programs result in municipalities competing with each other to get a share of funds available and other measures cannot be relied on.

Council also recognized the AMO’s position on strengthening Eastern Ontario through additional senior government support. Charts showed that costs for one kilometre of road are the same whether in an urban area or the country yet that cost must be born by five households in the country, while in an urban area it is 25 households. Municipalities also own two thirds of the region’s roads and the infrastructure deficit now stands at $4.6 billion and continues to grow.

Council strongly endorsed Pine’s recommendations.

appreciate the benefits they brought? As an immigrant the shoe, some would say boot, is on the other foot.

Not a good feeling remains with me with regard to the treatment of the First Nations.

I like to think that the first settlers’ intentions were for the best but know that was not so in many cases. Residential Schools are a major issue. I was introduced to them through reading a history of one situated in TheLand-of-the-Lakes written, of course, by ‘The Victor’.

I remember thinking, as I am sure the founders of the school did and intended, this was the ideal method of integration, not realizing it left the pupil between two cultures In some ways I still think this. To sit on an ice field and watch Miami Vice from your GPS equipped Skidoo

does not seem to me the ideal way to integrate those young people in the realities of the, like it or not, modern world.

The founders of the schools must be truly horrified at the subsequent treatment of the pupils, as indeed we all are, but that does not negate their true intentions.

I also wonder at the ‘saintliness’ of the instigators of this nonsense. Many people regarded themselves as ‘more-equal-than-others’ and were not too reluctant to demonstrate the fact: until they became the vanquished, are they happy with their history?

I can only conclude with my observation that there are far more worrying issues in this unfortunate World that should concern us, John Morralee Belleville

Dear Editor, Is it possible to state that the wish to rename schools and pull down statues is nonsense and not offend someone? I suspect not: so to them I apologize. But it is nonsense. An attempt to rewrite history as if there were no victors or vanquished is doomed to failure and to cause even more dissension.

As an Immigrant from England I belong to a race, which is both victor and vanquished.

If I am overly sensitive I have some serious issues with the Romans, the Danes, the Vikings and William the Conqueror, who chased my first ancestors (whom I am sure were not all saints) off their bit of turf. But I accept that ‘To the Victor the Spoils’ and they also get to write the history books! Is any harm done to accept that fact, live with it, and

Choral Society names new pianist Belleville - The Belleville Choral Society (BCS), under the musical direction of Mirijam Spoelstra, has announced that Tom Dietzel will be joining the society as accompanist, beginning in September 2017. Tom’s extensive experience will add immensely to the musicianship of BCS. Dietzel is a graduate of the University of Regina’s Bachelor of Music Piano Performance program.

While enrolled there, he produced baroque chamber music concerts and arranged music for the U. of R. Jazz Band that was performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival.

“Since graduation, his career has involved musical theatre, dance accompaniment and from 19902002 he was music director with the Quinte Ballet School of Canada,” said the society in a statement.

“In a church setting, Tom has performed as pianist, organist, choir director, and composer. His musical tastes and abilities span diverse styles from swing era jazz to rock to country. Currently Tom is keyboardist and a percussionist with the Quinte Symphony Orchestra, as well as a music teacher whose instruction encourages creativity, balanced overall musicianship, ear training, improvisation on and composition.”

The Belleville Choral Society consists of professional and amateur musicians of diverse backgrounds, performing choral literature from all musical periods. Since 1959, the chorus has brought the joys of choral singing to the Quinte area.

Repertoire for the December 2017 concert will include the premiere of a commissioned work by Mark Sire, in celebration of Canada 150, along with guest artists, Carpe Diem String Ensemble.

BCS members will be rehearsing a wide variety of Christmas tunes with special attention to Handel’s
