Macmillan abandons funding appeal, will fly to Germany to have surgery done

By John Campbell

Trent Hills – Mayor Hector Macmillan will travel to Germany next week to have the cancerous tumour in his pancreas removed.

And when he returns “healthy” he vows to resume his fight to have the same surgery made available in Ontario.

He decided to abandon his appeal of a decision by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care to deny him out-of-country funding to cover the cost of his treatment because time is running out.

Without the surgery, Macmillan has told people, he could be dead by Christmas “Right now it’s time to get better,” he said in an interview Sept. 17.

“I was about to lose an appeal I could never win, and you just got to know when to fold them,” he said, but “it’s far from over.”

A day earlier he had taken part in his third case conference call to establish when his appeal would be heard by the Health Services Appeal and Review Board.

Three days were set aside for the hearing to be conducted in full, with

the last day tentatively set for Sept. 29, the day Macmillan said he’s scheduled to have his surgery at Stralsund. (He told council Sept. 20 the date had been changed to Oct. 6) “The consequences are far too extreme and important to be gambling with my life, and it’s abundantly apparent that OHIP is going to make an example out of me even if they have to kill me to do it,” he said.

Its officials have “a dirty bag of tricks and they were pulling out all the stops.”

Macmillan had originally planned to have the operation known as NanoKnife irreversible electroporation (IRE) performed by a surgeon in Kentucky, Dr. Robert Martin, who has perfected use of the technology, which uses electrical pulses to kill cancer cells.

But the high cost of IRE there– more than $300,000 Canadian – led him to look elsewhere where it isn’t as expensive. Friends pointed him to a doctor in Germany, who says he will be able to perform the procedure within two weeks, Macmillan said in a release.

“It’s such a wonderful experience to be exposed to a healthcare system that actually cares about [its] patients.”

“I just hope it’s not too late, through all of this being dragged out,” Macmillan said on Saturday, revealing the back pain he experienced a year ago that prompted him to visit the doctor and eventually be diagnosed as having pancreatic cancer has recently returned and “it’s getting worse every day.”

He expects to be in Germany “the better part of a month,” from the time of his arrival to the end of his stay in the country, which includes his being monitored post-surgery, “to make sure everything’s all well.”

The cost of the operation and time spent in the hospital is roughly $32,500 Canadian. He’ll also receive chemotherapy, which can be expensive, and there are the costs of travel and accommodations to cover as well.

He doesn’t know what it will all add up to but he will “need every nickle” that’s been raised online via GoFundMe and through an account set up at TD Bank by a group of Trent Hills firefighters, their wives, and others who call themselves Friends of Hector.

As of last Saturday the amount stood at around $60,000, he said.

One of the reasons Macmillan was given for his being denied out-of-country funding is that IRE is considered

“experimental” by the Ministry of Health but he points out the treatment is done in numerous countries, including Britain and Australia, as well as the United States and Germany.

His surgeon, Dr. Matthias Birth, said the surgery is “routine,” Macmillan said.

“I believe in IRE technology. What I can’t believe is why we’re not using it, and we’re going to fix that.”

Macmillan said 2,000 Ontarians a year are diagnosed as having pancreatic can- Mayor Hector Macmillan.

Mayor’s battle with OHIP raised at Queen’s Park

By John Campbell Trent Hills – Mayor Hector Macmillan’s fight with the provincial government to secure out-of-country funding for an operation to remove a tumour in his pancreas made it to the floor of the Ontario Legislature Sept. 15.

Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa Macleod, the Progressive Conservatives’ treasury board and digital government critic, told Health Minister Dr. Eric Hoskins the Liberal government has “wasted” billions of dollars “throughout the healthcare system and other ministries … at a time when Hector and other people are facing life-threatening diseases” and encountering barriers to getting help.

Macmillan has repeatedly said he‘s been “sentenced to die” by the government after it denied his application for funding for a procedure known as NanoKnife irreversible electroporation (IRE). It uses highvoltage pulses to kill cancerous cells in the pancreas.

The estimated cost for the treatment and attendant care at a hospital in Kentucky is more

than $300,000 Canadian, but Macmillan has now found a hospital in Germany that will provide the same service for much less, under $100,000 and he will have surgery done there later this month.

“I am doing absolutely everything I can,” Hoskins responded to Macleod‘s prodding, but “difficult decisions such as this are governed by the Health Insurance Act and the associated regulations. I have absolutely no discretion or ability to approve or reject an application that comes forward in that context.

To do so would be a violation of that act by myself.”

The health minister noted, however, that Macmillan‘s diagnosis of Stage IV pancreatic cancer has recently “changed for the better” which puts a new light on his situation.

“I believe it’s important that as a society, from the bureaucrats to the highest level of clinical experts, we demonstrate the flexibility, if a condition changes, if a prognosis changes, to have the ability to provide the appropriate and best course of care in that case,” he said.

Hoskins met with the mayor

afterwards and told him the new diagnosis “could change everything for me,” Macmillan said in a later interview.

As far as he‘s concerned, the new diagnosis provided by his surgeon in Kingston that he is no longer at Stage IV “means OHIP should just fold up its cards and write the cheque,” he said.

With his status “downgraded” from the most serious stage and widespread proof IRE is not an experimental procedure, OHIP needs “to back off ” and provide the necessary funding, he said.

It should also start making plans to introduce an IRE program in the province to get the thousand other Ontarians with pancreatic cancer “looked after” who are “viable candidates” for the procedure.

But when the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care made clear at wasn‘t going to give in, Macmillan decided to withdraw his appeal to focus on getting better before time runs out.

Macmillan said the application and appeal process needs to be changed to make it fairer “and certainly more compassionate.”

Stirling - Have you ever wondered what it’s like behind the scenes at a hose racing track? Now you can find out.

Stirling author and riding coach Janice Gannon is launching her first book, Tails From the Track: A Journey of Self-Discovery on the Backstretch, this Saturday, Sept. 24, at Stirling Greenhawk, located at 152 North Front St..

The book is about Gannon’s experiences on the backstretch in the 1970s at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto. She will do readings from her book at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., and the

book will be on sale at an introductory price of $18 per volume.

Gannon was only 20 years old when she began working at Woodbine at a time when women were just beginning to work as grooms, hot walkers and exercise riders in what was a male-dominated world. It was a world that often included misfits, petty criminals and a plethora of colourful personalities — some of whom had four legs and the attitude of a diva. Rich and poor, famous and unknown, all could be found at one time or another on Woodbine’s backstretch.

Gannon is a graduate of the Humber College School of Horsemanship and is an Ontario Equestrian Federation and Equine Canada certified coach who teaches both English and western riding.

Madoc fair keeps it country Downey family honoured for 100

By Diane Sherman

Madoc - The Madoc Fair had a reprieve from rain Sept. 17, long enough for opening ceremonies and a few events to finish up under clear skies.

Warden Rick Phillips was on hand to acknowledge the Downey family for 100 years dedication to the Madoc Agricultural Society (MAS).

He was also on hand for the presentation of the Agricultural Service Award to Dave Franks recognizing 55 years with MAS, and, to witness the crowning of the new Fair Ambassador, Shannon Wilson, 19, of Madoc.

Wilson studies mobile application design at Algonquin College in Ottawa. Her crowning is the fifth since the program was reinstated in 2012.

OPINION

Syria: Another ceasefire bites the dust?

As the Syrian ceasefire arranged by the United States and Russia teeters on the brink of collapse, it’s clear that the main problem lies in Washington. Moscow’s goal has never been in doubt: it wants the regime of Bashar al-Assad to surGwynne Dyer vive. The Obama administration has been reluctantly moving towards the same conclusion, but it simply can’t admit it, even to itself.

The Russian government bitterly condemned the American air strike that killed 60 to 80 Syrian army personnel on Saturday, but everybody knows that air strikes sometimes hit the wrong people. It was a mistake, that’s all, and the Russians really understand that – but it was a mistake that tells us a lot about how far the US has moved.

Until recently the United States, still formally pledged to overthrow the Assad regime, would not attack Islamic State troops if they were fighting the Syrian army. (That’s why Islamic State captured the historic city of Palmyra two years ago: the US air force would not strike the long and vulnerable IS line of communications across the desert, because that would have been “helping Assad”.)

But the US air attack that went astray at Deir es-Zor last weekend was targeting Islamic State troops who were in direct contact with the Syrian army. It’s because the two sides were so close together that the planes hit the Syrian troops by mistake. American diplomats still deny it, but the US is now willing to help Assad, at least sometimes.

The strategic calculation that has driven US Secretary of State John Kerry into this uncomfortable position is brutally simple.

If Assad’s regime does not survive, then the extreme Islamists will take over all of Syria.

The fantasy of a “third force” in Syria, made up of democracy-loving non-Islamist rebels who could defeat both the Islamists and Assad, has died even in the US State Department and the Pentagon.

The “moderate” rebels that the United States has backed for so long make up no more than 10 or 15 per cent of the real fighting strength of the anti-Assad forces, and most of them are actually allied to the Islamists. In fact, the “moderates” wouldn’t survive long without their Islamist alliance,

so it’s time for Washington to abandon them.

The ceasefire terms show that Kerry has implicitly accepted that logic, for they demand that the Syrian government and the “moderates” stop shooting and bombing, whereupon the American and Russian air forces will cooperate in bombing the Islamists. And the targets will not only be Islamic State but also the al-Qaeda-linked group that was known until recently as the Nusra Front.

The Nusra Front saw this coming, so last month it changed its name to Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (Front for the Conquest of Syria) and said that it has cut its ties with al-Qaeda.

(An al-Qaeda spokeman said that the terrorist organisation understood the Nusra Front’s need to break the public link, and wasn’t angry at its Syrian branch.) But even Washington could see through this flimsy disguise, and Nusra (under its new name) is still on the hit list.

Unfortunately, the “moderate” groups are not only in close alliance with Nusra, but are physically mixed in with the Islamist forces.

They will get bombed too if they do not break their links with the Islamist extremists and somehow move away from them, so the ceasefire co-sponsored by the US and Russia demands that they do exactly that. Unfortunately, they can’t.

They can’t do it because on their own they could never hope to overthrow the Assad regime and also because the Islamists will start killing them as traitors if they even try to break away. So the “moderates” haven’t really accepted the ceasefire either, and the Russians are quite right to complain that they have “not met a single obligation” of the truce.

Everything we know about the ceasefire argues that the Obama administration has accepted the regrettable necessity of leaving the Assad regime in power, although it still cannot bring itself to say so publicly.

A year from now, the areas controlled by the Assad regime, including at least threequarters of the Syrian population, will probably be the same as now or maybe a little bit bigger. The surviving “moderates”, having detached themselves from al-Nusra, will hold little bits of territory and will be observing a real ceasefire.

The Kurds will still control a band of territory across the extreme north of Syria unless Turkey has waged and won a full-scale war to conquer it. And the Russians and the Americans will both be bombing the territories still controlled by Islamic State and the former Nusra Front, although in less than perfect harmony.

Get the widow on the set, we need dirty laundry Editorial by Chris Malette What you will find here, readers of the newspaper jury, is a compelling case to allow television cameras into most all court proceedings in Canada.

In Alberta, the Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Denny Thomas last week aired on television, in its entirety, his verdict on murder charges against Travis Vader accused in the 2010 disappearance and presumed deaths of Lyle and Marie McCann.

Thomas likely aired his verdict – and that was all viewers saw – in an effort to stanch the bleeding of the last vestiges of public trust in the justice system in this case.

During the Vader case, there was a long-running feud between the media, the Crown prosecutors, the judge in the case, Thomas, and even the RCMP investigating the case over mountains of suspect evidence, publication bans and all manner of restrictions imposed on media over what evidence they were or were not allowed to see in the case.

It got so absurd, that the Crown threw out the charges against Vader, only to re-arrest him again a short time later.

Perhaps, after all the crazy shenanigans involving the RCMP, the Crown, tussles with the media, stayed charges and re-arrests, the judge, Thomas, decided it was best to just let TV cameras in to see every word and syllable of his ruling and verdict in the case.

No one knows, because he said simply he believed it would be done one time only and that one time only in an effort to, as he put it, increase confidence in the judicial system.

We should see more of the workings of the courts and this former court reporter, who long warmed press benches in spectacularly uncomfortable settings in courtrooms across this region, says we should open the doors to the televised proceedings to all but the most sensitive of cases.

Here’s a case that would have beaten M*A*S*H* in the TV ratings of the early 1980s, had it ever been televised in Belleville.

The late mayor George Zegouras operated a variety store in the plaza he owned on Dundas Street East, now just east of the TSC store. In that variety store, as in most every other variety store in Belleville, Ontario and, for that matter, acrss Canada, were some magazines tucked away up in the top rack, some wrapped in plastic but all of the, ahem, salacious variety known as girlie mags.

Distribution MANAGER Paul Mitchell 613-966-2034 ext 508 Sales Manager Melissa Hudgin 613-966-2034, ext 504 ADVERTISING SALES Jennet Honey, 613-966-2034, ext 509 Jean Convey, 613-966-2034, ext 527 Melissa Hudgins, 613-966-2034, ext 504 Tim Sheppard, 613-966-2034, ext 528 Louise Clutterbuck, 613-966-2034, ext 5035 CLASSIFIEDS 1-888-Words Ads PRODUCTION Rob Purvis, 613-966-2034, ext 520 rob.purvis@metroland.com

One day, the coppers in this town – under whose direction we’ve forgot, lost in the mists of time – raided Zegouras’ shop and took into evidence several racy magazines before charging the hapless mayor with possession of obscene material for the purpose of resale, or some such nonsense. Nonsense, we see it as now, with the proliferation of the Internet and the magazine smut industry gone the way of buggy-whips, corset stays and, hell, some newspapers.

When it all came to court, one hang-em-high provincial court judge, J.L. Clendenning was hearing the case. Those of us fortunate enough to be in the court that day on Clendenning’s verdict were treated to something Jerry Seinfield couldn’t have dreamed up for a sit-com.

Clendenning wanted to ensure, in the record of jurisprudence, there was evidence of the kind of smut and stuff of which Zegouras was charged with peddling.

So he proceeded, I kid you not, to read into the record – with the court stenographer dutifuly taking down every word – to read aloud the story in “Boobs `n Buns” of the tale of ‘The Naughty Nurse.’

In his baritone, sonorous voice, old J.L. began reading aloud “There she came, into my hospital room, busting out of her clinging nurse’s uniform…” and more. Oh, much, much more.

Giggles erupted from the prisoners’ box, which J.L. promptly cleared to the holding cells, warning the rest of us – cops, lawyers, social workers all – that we too would be booted from the court if we so much snickered.

Most every man, woman and school spectator in the court stared at the floor, bit their cheeks, their tongues, their lips – all in an effort to keep from erupting in gales of laughter at the absurdity of it all.

Imagine it, if you can, on television.

In the end, Zegouras had charges against him stayed, but, right there in some dusty tome of legal precedents and trial transcripts you can find The Queen vs. Zegouras and the case of the smutty mags and naughty nurses and all that kind of stuff that now seems almost laughable to all but the most pickle-suppositoried among us.

A trite example for such a serious issue as allowing cameras in the courts? Perhaps.

But, you know you’d tune in for the latest chapter of Naughty Nurse, as read in all its majestic timbre, by J.L. Clendenning if you could.

Bossio also tried to dispel the notion that the current government has undertaken electoral reform to strengthen its own electoral chances. “Historically parties that change the system lose the next election,” he observed. The government is pursuing electoral reform “because it’s the right thing to do,” Bossio insisted.

Following Bossio’s introduction, participants seated in groups of four or five held small group discussions on a slate of issues. One table was chosen at random to report on their deliberations with an opportunity for comment from the other tables within specified time limits. The first question under consideration was, “Do you vote? Why? Why not?” “What we’re

trying to determine is what is most important to you,” Bossio explained.

Baldwin compared the Tweed meeting to the two previous ones. “One of the key things Mike noticed was that out of the three town halls that we’ve had, it was the one with the broadest range of opinion, and we were pleased that everyone was very respectful of everyone else’s opinions. At the end, Betty Bannon, NDP candidate in the 2015 federal election got up and thanked Mike.”

On the groups’ preference for a particular system, “There was a broad range of opinion. I would say this room had quite a few people in favour of some form of proportional, but we’ve also gotten emails and phone calls that are in favour of staying with the same system,” Baldwin reported. “People didn’t like very much” the prospect of mandatory voting. The issue of putting any proposed changes to a referendum did not come up at the meetings, said a somewhat surprised Baldwin.

Participant Darlyne Pettycook, attending with her husband Bob, remarked, “We’re interested in different electoral systems. As I moved from table to table there was a sort of universal feeling that people had come there to learn. It was informative.” Results of the town hall discussions will be forwarded to the Minister of Democratic Institutions, Maryam Monsef.

Trent Hills Grannies for Africa unbox the bling

By Sue Dickens

Trent Hills – Trent Hills Grannies for Africa is once again polishing up the bling and preparing for their annual fundraiser.

“It’s always exciting for the jewellery committee to unbox the latest treasures, to sort, inspect, price, admire, and to ensure that each piece is in perfect condition for those seeking that special piece. Expect Fabulous Finds is our motto,” said Lyn De La Cour.

Last year, as in the past, the allure of previously loved vintage and costume jewellery attracted a big crowd to the annual Trent Hills Grannies for Africa Jewellery Sale and Café.

“We have again added handbags and scarves to our fabulous vintage and costume jewellery and are very excited about the new donations that have flooded in during the year,” added De La Cour.

Gently used handbags were a big hit when they were first introduced offering styles “from the designer to the fun and fanciful,” as part of the collection of items on the tables showcasing the items for sale at the event.

“Our fundraising efforts at the grassroots level support The Stephen Lewis Foundation‘s work in subSaharan Africa where grandmothers are raising children of their children and orphans whose parents have died of HIV/AIDS,” said De La Cour.

She noted that a recent Foundation newsletter stated that over the past decade African grandmothers have “risen to become the linchpin of survival for their families and communities. They have become activists. They advocate for women‘s rights and the rights of their grandchildren and are becoming small business owners in order to earn a living for their families.”

“Grandmothers are now recognized as community experts and agents of change by governments and international aid agencies. They nurture, feed and put their grandchildren into school, tend to the sick in their communities, help the recently bereaved, set up support groups, plant and harvest crops.”

De La Cour explained, “This is what our local fundraising is all about … helping African grannies achieve The sale and café will be held Sat., their goals and The Trent Hills Grannies for Africa is very proud to have Oct. 1 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. at The raised more than $60,000 for the Gathering Place in St. Paul’s United Church, Warkworth. cause during the past decade.”

Hospice Norwood campaign off to ‘positive’ start

By Bill Freeman

Norwood – The public campaign to build a two-bed rural hospice in Norwood got a strong start at an open meeting Sept. 13, that drew over 50 people to Legion Branch 300.

The five member incorporated Hospice Norwood committee wants to raise $500,000 and expects to receive its charitable number in a few months so it can begin to issue tax receipts for donations.

“We’re thrilled with the turnout. I didn’t hear a negative thing

tonight,” said committee member Laurie Inglis. “It’s obvious we have community support so it makes our job a little easier.”

People had a chance to sign up for the eight sub-committees that will help drive the project.

“There is a real good cross section here and a lot of people who were there for us in Action 2000,” Doug Pearcy added, referring to the campaign that raised $1.3 million locally for the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre. “It’s a big number but then so was $1.3 million. I think we can do it. People believe in the idea and support it.”

The committee has done a lot of legwork including visits to hospices in Warkworth, Madoc and Peterborough and had conversations with the East Central LHIN [Local

Health Integration Network], St. Elizabeth Nursing and Community Care Access Centre.

A critical piece is a possible satellite partnership with Hospice Peterborough.

“We got the feeling that they would very much like to work with us,” said Pearcy.

The committee sees value in an arrangement with Hospice Peterborough which has 13 paid staff, 260 volunteers and 25 support programs including one for training volunteers.

Pearcy said his meeting with the LHIN was “very encouraging.”

The LHIN, he said, “looks at a partnership with Hospice Peterborough as a positive step; that we would work with another organization to cut down costs.

“I think hospices are a good thing.

I think we’re on the right track.”

“We are an aging population in Norwood and this is something that’s going to meet our future needs,” Inglis added.

Hospice Norwood would also serve Hastings, Havelock and surrounding areas, she stressed.

“Once we get our charity number, we can really hit the ground running and start planning things.”

A letter from the committee has been sent Hospice Peterborough and will be discussed at their next board meeting.

“We want to sit down and negotiate with them what partnering really means. If we can take a little bit of expertise from these programs and incorporate them into our hospice that would be wonderful.”

Proposal made to turn Hastings ball park into residential/commercial development

By John Campbell

Trent Hills - The municipality has agreed to sell the Hastings ball park lands for $325,000 to a developer who plans to build residential units and a commercial building on the property.

Trent Hills was prepared to dispose of the unused asset a few years ago but the deal fell through when

the proponent couldn’t reach a deal with a prospective tenant, a chain restaurant that wanted to include a drive-thru, director of planning Jim Peters said.

Another prospective buyer stepped forward last fall expressing interest in the lands and submitted a “very rough” concept plan. An updated version arrived last week showing resi-

“It could be a food vendor,” Peters said. “It could be retail. They‘re open to anything.”

There will be between 10 and 15 housing units, either townhouses or separate dwellings, 1,200 to 1,500 square feet, “aimed at older people looking to downsize out of homes and not have [to worry about] maintenance,” he said.

The agreed-upon price is slightly more than the municipality had asked in its talks with the previous developer.

The real estate market “is very active right now,” Peters said, “and values are up a bit.”

The numbered company behind the proposal is “very much interested in getting ... everything in place” in order to start on the development next year.

“They‘ve been very open to the feedback from me and council [and] they want to work with us,” Peters said.

Downtown revitalization a year-long project in Campbellford

By John Campbell

Campbellford - Work on a downtown revitalization plan for Campbellford formally began Monday with the arrival of a co-ordinator to oversee its preparation.

It was the first day on the job for Leisha Newton who signed a one-year contract with Trent Hills.

The Havelock resident has 15 years of marketing communications experience, most recently as a communications co-ordinator for Peterborough Economic Development. A graduate of Brock University with a BA in sociology, she obtained a post-graduate certificate in marketing and management at Sheridan College.

“What we‘re going to do over the next year will be very exciting,” Newton said.

She will be working closely with local businesses and community members who “will be pivotal in being able to implement the programs” that flow out of the downtown revitalization

process.

That work will include conducting business surveys, undertaking a market analysis, and identifying gaps in the market, said community development officer Kira Mees.

She put together the application for Rural Economic Development funding, which the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs approved. The total cost of the project is $80,000, with the province contributing $32,000 and the municipality $48,000.

In her report to council, Mees said there will be many beneficiaries from a revitalized downtown, including merchants, residents, community organizations and local government.

The data gathered during the project concerning business inventory, vacancies and employment trends “will be valuable for businesses investigating community investment” opportunities.

The project will build upon the results of a First Impressions Com-

munity Exchange done in 2012 and a Business Retention and Expansion survey completed in 2015.

The first step will be to bring stakeholders to the table, including business owners and community groups, and form a downtown revitalization committee, which will be more like a working group, Mees said.

Financial well-being is “one of the keys [to] a thriving downtown [and] it creates community pride when things just look nice and are nice,” she said.

It also creates a good impression for outsiders coming into town and “inspires” them to come back, Mees said.

She had her first meeting with the municipality’s rural adviser from OMAFRA last week, Heather Chandler, and they did “a little brainstorming” that left her enthused about lies ahead.

“It looks like we‘re going to be able to do some exciting things, maybe even try out a bit of new stuff,” she said.

Leisha Newton began her job as downtown revitalization co-ordinator for the Municipality of Trent Hills Sept. 19. The $80,000 project she‘s working on involves economic development, marketing and promotion, and physical improvements. The province is providing $32,000 in funding.

A perfect day in Stirling for water buffalo

By Terry McNamee

Stirling - The Stirling Water Buffalo Festival on Saturday, Sept. 17, lasted more than three hours before the predicted rain arrived, but with the summer drought, no one was complaining

— least of all the water buffalo, who no doubt enjoyed in the showers!

The event, which ran from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., attracted an excellent crowd, pleasing organizer Terry Vollum.

“Last year, we had the threat of bad weather, too,” he said. “We’re thrilled.”

The annual festival is a joint venture of the local Lions and

Rotary clubs and, of course, would not be complete without the water buffalo of the Ontario Water Buffalo Company in Stirling. This year, there was a cow plus several young calves on display to meet the public, and vendors sold a large variety of products using water buffalo meat, milk and cheese.

There was live music throughout the day, plus a cou-

ple of performances featuring excerpts from the Stirling Festival Theatre Young Company’s upcoming production of Little Shop of Horrors.

“Dave Bush put all the music together for us,” Vollum said.

The free Water Buffalo Festival included a very popular Kidz Zone for children. There also were shuttle bus rides to and from Farmtown Park.

This little water buffalo calf was too busy trying to figure out how to get the straw off his nose to pay attention to all the visitors who came to pet him during the Stirling Water Buffalo Festival.

Photos by Terry McNamee Willow Dowling, 2, from Peterborough enjoyed some candy floss while attending the Stirling Water Buffalo Festival.

These Dutch-style pancakes were made using water buffalo milk

by Annemarieke Kroes of Kroes Croquettes in Peterborough. Hers was just one of many booths at The Whistle Dogs performed for people attending Stirling’s annual Water Buffalo the Stirling Water Buffalo Festival. Festival, held on Saturday, Sept. 17.

New members appointed to Stirling Library Board

By Terry McNamee

Stirling—Stirling-Rawdon Council has approved the appointment of three new members to the public library board.

The newcomers are Donald Burr, Mano McNabb and Shari Elson O’Garr, who join existing members Pat Anderson, Miranda DeJong, Councillor Bob Mullin and chair Councillor Dean Graff.

The new members were chosen from 25 applications received for the three open positions during a special council meeting held at 2:45 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 19. They were then confirmed by the passing of a bylaw at the regularly-scheduled council meeting Monday evening. The appointments were made quickly due to the fact that the library board was scheduled to meet the following night, and did not have enough members in place without the new appointees.

The openings on the board occurred as a result of the resignations of Denyse Mouck in July and Stephanie Monk (who left Ontario) and Stephanie Blake in August.

In other council news, Wayne Martin was in the audience to hear council pass a bylaw to authorize Mayor Rodney Cooney and Acting Clerk Tawnya Donald to execute a development agreement between him and the township

The newcomers are Donald Burr, Mano McNabb and Shari Elson O’Garr, who join existing members Pat Anderson, Miranda DeJong, Councillor Bob Mullin and chair Councillor Dean Graff.

Martin has been trying to get this accomplished for eight years, and was all smiles as Council passed the bylaw. This enables him to go ahead and sell the land for development, with the possibility of severing it to create two building lots.

Two additional bylaws affecting Henry Street also were passed. One prohibits parking on the east side of Henry Street from the Rawdon Creek Bridge to Elizabeth Street and the other reduces the speed limit on Henry Street from 50 kph to 40 kph between West Front Street and the Township boundary with Quinte West.

CLASSIFIEDS

Stirling - Farmers from Hastings, Prince Edward, Lennox & Addington and Northumberland Counties were honoured on Sunday, Sept. 18, when new faces were added to the Quinte Agricultural Wall of Fame located at Farmtown Park in Stirling.

The wall features individuals and couples whose contributions to agriculture and local organizations made a difference, both in their communities and on a wider scale. The people were chosen from nominations submitted by families, individuals and agricultural associations.

“We had 14 nominations this year, and all were worthy of being recipients,” said Wall of Fame committee member Jim Dalrymple.

This was the 11th annual induction, and it attracted a large crowd. Among them were 31 members of the Sills family, who came to see the induction of the late Roy Sills. His son, Bob, spoke on behalf of the family.

“He worked hard,” Bob said. “Our father would be proud and honoured to be here today.”

Roy Sills was born in Thurlow in 1892 and died in 1966. He was very active in the agricultural industry, serving as president of the Vegetable Growers Association of Hastings County, was a director of the Ontario Vegetable Growers Marketing Board and a past director of Zone 2 of the Ontario Hog Producers Marketing Board. He spent seven years as chairman of the Hastings County Old Age Pensions and Mothers Allowance Board, was an elder at Bethel Zion United Church, was chairman for four years and a member for 12 years of the Belleville and District High School Board and was past president of the Quinte Co-Op Medical Services. He was nominated for the Wall of Fame by the Hastings County Federation of Agriculture.

Catherine and the late Carl Clayton were nominated by the Quinte Pork Producers Association. Both were immigrants to Canada — Carl, who died in 2005, was from South Africa and Catherine came from Scotland.

The Claytons managed a dairy farm in Quebec, then moved to Napanee in the 1950s. They established their Hay Bay Farms in Napanee in 1965, and eventually had one of the largest swine herds in Ontario, with 1,400 sows spread over three locations in Lennox & Addington and two in western Ontario. They were leaders in the pork industry, pioneering the use of artificial insemination and pregnancy diagnosis and providing superior quality breeding stock to other producers in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes. They also were leaders in reducing energy consumption and received awards for their work from the Canadian Electrical Association and Ontario Hydro. They were strong supporters of 4-H, providing pigs to all 4-H members in Frontenac County.

Carl also served as a director on the

Doris Potts celebrates 103rd birthday with family, friends in Campbellford

By Sue Dickens

Campbellford - Celebrating her 103rd birthday on Sept. 19, Doris Potts was surrounded by friends and her sister Florence Chatten, 93, who arrived from Hilton to mark this milestone at Island Park Retirement Residence in Campbellford where Doris has been living for the past few years.

Born on a dairy farm west of Hoards Station to Ed and Charlotte Rannie, her family roots in the area go all the way back to when a great-great-grandfather crossed the ocean in 1842 to begin a new life in Canada.

She was one of CampbellfordSeymour Heritage Society’s founding members in 1983 with her late husband, Frank.

The Campbellford-Seymour Heritage Society recognized their efforts to preserve local history by dedicating the study room the Frank and Doris Potts Research Facility.

The couple bought a store at Menie in 1946 and later donated the building to Peterborough County which relocated it to Lang Pioneer Village at Keene.

Doris taught elementary school in Northumberland and Hastings counties for 38 years and was responsible for setting up the library at Hillcrest Pub-

Early Years Centre extends Hastings Fieldhouse program

The Hastings Ontario Years Centre will continue with their twice monthly visits to the Hastings Fieldhouse.

By Bill Freeman

Hastings – The monthly visits to the Hastings Fieldhouse were so popular that the Ontario Early Years Centre in Hastings has extended the program and added an extra Friday to its schedule.

“It’s been so popular that we’ve continued with it,” Hastings OEYC early learning specialist Angie Nestoruk said. “It’s been a good summer here.”

The $5 million fieldhouse at Fowlds Millennium Park opened in 2015 and was affected by the Hastings swing bridge closure. Now that there’s no impediment to access, the multi-use facility is being discovered by new people.

“Trent Hills has been accommodating for us so we can run our program,” Nestoruk says.

The group meets at the fieldhouse twice monthly on Fridays each month from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. as well as on

school P.A. days, with the invitation extended to all Early Years families and friends in the area including the Peterborough Family Resource Centre’s hub in Norwood. A public health nurse and dental technician are also on hand to talk to parents and caregivers.

The Friday “Let’s Get Physical” program is all about play and activity, says Nestoruk.

“There’s such a variety. Every new person is just in awe of the facility.”

Children and families use the soccer field, the playing courts and the track and afterwards, when demand warrants, they have pizza in the foyer.

“What’s so good about this place is that it’s for all the early years, and then we’ve expanded it to Norwood,” says Nestoruk. “It brings out more dads and grandpas. We always have about 50 here and there’s lots of room. The best thing is that the families are moving when they come in here. There’s the freedom to move and it’s safe.

There are so many pluses; I’m happy we’re able to do this again.”

“It’s great, especially for young kids,” says Campbellford caregiver Peggy Clark. “It’s such a lovely place.

If I lived in Hastings I’d have my group here every day walking. Parents get to interact with each other and socialize and get to know what’s going on in the area and the programs offered through the early years.”

Pumped storage project landing on the tourism map

By Margriet Kitchen

Marmora – It may be moving at what seems to be a glacial pace, but there is still life in a proposed project to turn the former Marmoraton Mine into a power generating site with a tourism twist.

At Marmora’s September Council meeting, Brian Basterfield from from Basterfield & Assoc., Landscape Architects, of Peterborough presented plans for the Recharge Marmora Tourism Mapping in conjunction with the proposed 400 KW Northland Power Pumping Project.

In 2014, a $50,000 provincial government grant was awarded to fund this mapping project. Basterfield noted that the preliminary plans initiated

by A-Frame Marketing of Marmora provided a high conceptual level for his firm to develop the current plan.

Comprehensive site plans include such things as a park area with visitors centre, a Mud Lake campground, adventure and education areas, zip line, cycling trails, botanical garden and much more.

At the meeting, John Wright, Executive Director of Business Development, Northland Power, said, “We are quite excited about the consultant’s work. The overall scheme is quite remarkable. This location is central to the Ottawa-Toronto corridor, and also easily accessible from the U.S. “Once the facility is approved, we will be happy to help facilitate these plans through the basic construction/ site mapping, as Northland engineers work to build the actual pumped power facility. We would be working closely to address concerns of public and worker safety. In terms of concept, this is great.”

When questions were invited from the public, Basterfield responded to a concern about motorized paths/roadways through the proposed complex, and he stated that there are existing roads already in place that would be for motorized vehicles coming into the site. There are parking lots planned, with accessible pathways to the various features.

A question about the cost for this type of project was fielded by Mayor Clemens, who stated, “It would come in stages and will take years, with involvement of various levels of government and private enterprise. This is the initial master plan.”

In response to a question inquiring if the environmental designation of the area includes wetlands and environmentally sensitive, Basterfield answered that, through the site plan application, there would be environ-

mental protection input.

“As Northland moves material, with this plan in place, they would create the land forms for the project, and absorb a large portion of the overall cost,” Basterfield said. “This marriage of pumped storage project and the aspirations of the community is a good one.”

MP Mike Bossio attended the meeting with assurances that he is working to help bring the power project to reality.

“It is not lost on key people in the province that this pumped storage project will provide a clean power resource,” Bossio said. “Here we have several levels of government working hand in hand. I remember coming here as a kid. The trucks at the bottom of the mine looked like dinky toys. Afterward, with the closing of the mine, it was a great loss to the lo-

Play a hand of poker and raise money too

By Sue Dickens

Trent Hills – Feel like playing a hand of poker? Then why not sign up for the first annual ATV Fun Run hosted by the Trent Hills Fire Department and help raise money for four area organizations.

The poker run provides the fun as participants draw a playing card at each checkpoint to see who has the best hand at the end of the day.

Don Sayles, a captain with the fire department said although the deadline for registration was Sept. 1, they will accept riders up to and including the day of the event.

“Money is being raised for the Campbellford & District Mental Health Centre, Northumberland ATV Club, Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance and the Trent Hills Fire Department,” he explained.

The ATV club has decided that all of its proceeds from the day passes will be donated to Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan’s cancer fund.

“We hoping to raise a few thousand dollars so everybody can get a piece of the pie,” said Sayles. To do this the organizers are hoping to get about 100 bikers at least with ATVs or side by sides welcome, whatever is legal on the ATV trails.

The ride will start and end at the Campbellford curling club. Stirling, Tweed and Springbrook are all on the route.

When it’s over and riders have all returned, a dinner will be held at the club catered by Betty’s of Sharpe’s Food Market.

Seating for the dinner is limited to 125 at the curling club so purchasing tickets ahead of time is recommended.

The ride takes place Sat., Oct. 1 with registration 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. and the start 9:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. with the finish expected to be about 4 p.m.

Prizes and draws are at 4:30 p.m., dinner

at 5 p.m.

The cost is $50 per entry and $20 per additional rider.

Participants must have proof of insurance and a valid trail pass.

For information call Don Sayles at 705927-0630 or John Hay at 705-653-7793 or Charlie Murphy at 705-772-0911.

cal and regional economy. This is a rebirth, now we could utilize a massive mine that has been closed, and at the same time provide ‘green’ jobs.

“This project will last as long as power is needed, forever. This is the kind of development we need for our rural communities. There is not a large environmental impact, but there is a positive effect on the community.

I commend Brian and his firm for thinking outside the box. I think this is something that will benefit the community for a long time to come. This all hinges on the government purchase of power from the community. We need to work with Northland Power to pursue this energy project; without that, none of this happens.”

Walking Monk brings inspiring message to Hastings

By Bill Freeman

Hastings – “We live in a world that could exercise a little balance and that can be had by putting a spiritual edge to your existence,” says Bhaktimarga Swami.

Also known as The Walking Monk, Swami has made four prodigious cross-Canada treks. His first “CanWalk” was featured in the National Film Board documentary The Longest Road and he spoke about those journeys during a “Tales from the Trails” presentation on Sept. 20 at the Hastings Civic Centre.

“My travels take me to places where I not only have a chance to do some trekking but talking. That hap-

pens across Canada and I guess it’s Hastings’ turn,” the 64-year-old Chatham, Ontario native said.

“Getting a chance to share adventures of foot travel is one way to make a green statement,” says Swami, echoing Gandhi’s exhortation to “simple living and high thinking.”

While in Hastings he also made the eight kilometre walk to an organic farm on Friendly Acres Road which is also a cow sanctuary with an “expansive” organic garden where plants are treated for bugs only by neem oil.

“We anticipate they will succeed in providing good quality food for some people,” said Swami.

His “role” on the farm is to weed, harvest, and cut and perhaps can

some of the produce. Swami says there is another “handful” of farms in Ontario where he plans to do the same thing “before the snow flies.”

Swami has already explored sections of the beautiful Trans Canada Trail through Hastings which he calls “an absolute attraction” for the village.

His Civic Centre talk covered his four walks across Canada.

“The idea with the talk is to take the listener on the road with me,” he says.

They are “adventures,” Swami admits, but they’re also about “making a relevant connection with the natural world and the ancestral western or eastern thing to do, pilgrimage.

“That’s something that’s been

dropped out of human nature: contemplative or introspective walking.

Somehow a pilgrim has some kind of attraction,” Swami says.

While leaving Winnipeg, Swami says a young man in a red sports car pulled over and said, “I’ve read about you in the paper. Can we talk? My girlfriend of five years recently took off with my best friend; I’m stressed.

Can we talk about it?”

“Suddenly I’m a willing and hopefully able counsellor. I trek these long distances [34 kms a day] and I personally get inspired from what I see people doing and I hope to inspire by all the walking.”

The Hastings talk was free but donations were accepted.

Low-cost rabies clinics follow rabid bat bite

By Sue Dickens

Trent Hills – The annual low-cost rabies vaccination clinics are coming to Brighton, Campbellford and various locations in Northumberland County and the timing happens to follow a recent incident in which a rabid bat was found in nearby Cobourg.

The bat was picked up from the ground by a dog and now the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit is warning residents to be cautious around bats after receiving confirmation that this bat tested positive for rabies.

“Many of us consider a dog or cat to be part of our family so the lowcost rabies vaccination clinics provide an opportunity to give these pets the protection they deserve,” said Public Health Inspector Md Azad. “Rabies is fatal, so getting pets vaccinated is an important part of caring for animals and being a responsible pet owner.”

The health unit has issued a statement that rabies is almost always a fatal disease caused by a virus that affects the central nervous system

of warm-blooded animals, including humans. It is transmitted when there is contact with the saliva of an infected animal through a bite, lick or scratch. A postexposure vaccine is available for humans in the event of contact with a rabid animal.

“Contact with any wild animal, including bats, should be avoided,” said Azad. “It’s never worth the risk.”

The cost of the vaccination is $25 per animal (cash only). No examination of the animal will take place at the clinic and participating veterinarians ask that dogs be on leashes and cats in carriers.

The clinics are set to take place on Oct. 1 at the following locations: Brighton – Codrington Fire Hall, County Road 27, from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., present-

An added reason to get local pets vaccinated against rabies is the current

Motorcyclist critically injured in morning collision on Springbrook Road

By Terry McNamee

Stirling – A 22-year-old man was taken by ambulance to Campbellford Hospital and then airlifted to Kingston General Hospital after suffering critical injuries when his motorcycle collided with a half-ton pickup truck towing a hay wagon.

Stirling-Rawdon Police Services Constable Scott Preston said last Thursday that the collision took place at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept.

14, on Springbrook Road near Stirling. Both vehicles were eastbound at the time of the crash.

The 69-year-old driver of the pickup and his 45-year-old passenger were not injured.

The road was closed for 12 hours while OPP specialists investigated the scene of the accident. The cause of the crash has not been determined and no charges were laid last week.

Anyone who witnessed the accident is asked to call the StirlingRawdon Police at 613-395-0844.

Undeterred by the results of the season opener, the Major Atoms regrouped for Sunday’s game in Whitby verses the Wildcats.

She swam 387-kilometre Trent-Severn miracle swim in memory of her daughter

By Erin Stewart

Trenton – A Peterborough area realtor emerged from the waters of the Trent River here Sunday with a triumphant goal achieved.

With 387 kilometres swum and $30,509 raised, Trudy Wilson completed her journey along the Trent-Severn Waterway in Trenton and surpassed her $25,000 goal to raise money for the Lauren Taylor Wilson Pledge Fund.

“I’m really happy that I finished and we surpassed the goal,” said Wilson after finishing the last leg of the swim in Trenton on Sunday, Sept. 18.

“I honestly have to say I wasn’t even sure if I could complete it but, with all of the support that I’ve had from friends and family who believed I could do it even long before I believed I could, we were able to get it done.”

Greeted at her final destination be a crowd of around 80

supporters, Wilson said the warm welcome by so many people was quite an emotional surprise.

Wilson’s #miracleswim symbolically started on May 15 of this year, which would have been Lauren’s 18th birthday.

Trudy, a Bridgenorth resident, and RE/MAX realtor, and her husband Harvey created the pledge in memory of their daughter, who died two days after she was born due to birth injuries.

The money raised will support high-priority needs at Sick Kids Hospital in medical research, education and patient care through the Possibilities Fund.

She spent the next couple of months preparing for the swim, which began in July at Port Severn.

She has been swimming close to 10 kilometres a day for at least four days a week, overcoming different challenges throughout each leg of the journey and she has many

scrapes and bruises to prove it.

“It’s a lesson to be learned, just because you think you can’t do something, once you’re met with that challenge and you just commit to doing it then somehow you find a way to complete it,” she said.

Wilson said she feels amazing being able to give back to Sick Kids while also creating a legacy for her daughter.

“Right now her name is on a plaque on the donor wall in Sick Kids and that means something to me as a mother but also to say thank you to Sick Kids for the care we received,” she said.

Ramona Strojevs, Burlington Trudy Wilson receives a hug from one of her many supporters in Trenton after completing the last leg of her resident and friend of 387-kilometre swim along the Trent-Severn Waterway to raise money for the Lauren Taylor Wilson Pledge Wilson’s, was one of the Fund, in memory of their daughter.

“It’s bigger than words, it’s just bigger than words,” she said.

“She’s a remarkable individual to have thought of doing it and laid out the framework to do it and actually accomplish it is amazing beyond words.”

Strojevs said it was extremely important for her mother and herself to meet Wilson at the end of her journey.

“We really wanted to be here, wouldn’t have missed it,” she said. “It’s beyond amazing, spectacular accomplishment, she’s a great, great lady.”

A little bit of relaxation is hopefully in the near future, said Wilson, but she expects life will go back to the status-quo shortly because she needs to get back to work and take care of her family and clients.

County Music Fest has a grand opener

By Jack Evans

Prince Edward County - When a concert both starts and ends with an ensemble party song, you know you’ve had a good time.

The annual Prince Edward County Music Festival opened Saturday evening at St. Mary Magdalene Church, Picton , with a show called “A Grand Night for Singing.” Festival Artistic Director Stephane Lemelin quipped in his opening remarks that “If we’d known about the weather (It was raining at the time.) We’d have called it a Grand Night for ‘Singing in the Rain.”

The opening was a rousing chorus from Verdi’s “Libiamo,” in which a lover proposes a toast to his new love in the prescence of her merry friends, who eagerly join in the song. |Then the program turned to marking the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare in 1616 with some delightful songs from his plays, soliloquies and serious songs and the poison scene from Gounod’s opera, “Romeo and Juliette .Fill-in soprano Rachel Kehm did a remarkable job. Ditto for Sir John Falstaff ’s comic attempts to win friends and influence wives in “The Merry

Wives of Windsor,” with Simone McIntosh and Ana Toumine speaking the witty lines and singing too.

Mozrart’s “Die Zauberflote” (The Magic Flute) is always good for a hoot when the three ladies try to help poor Papageno and the Prince resolve their quest in the jolly Quintet.

Beautiful and poignant was Jean Philippe McClish’s performance of Wagner’s beauiful area from Tannhauser, the ode to the evening star.

So the evening went, with the panel of young, confident and super talented singers performing in English, French, Italian and German, solos, duets and ensemble numbers, with Patrick Hansen, director of Opera McGill’s program , on the piano. Several songs were range-challenging, but these hearty voices easily filled the hall on key and acted out their parts as well.

On the lighter side, the Vilia song from LeHar’s “The Merry Widow” added an audience-pleaser touch, closing with the rousing party song from Johann Strauss’s “Die Fledermaus,” Champagne Finale, in which the singers blame all their problems on too much champagne.

Other singers were, Simone

McIntosh, mezzo soprano and Asitha Tennekoon, tenor, Anaa Toumine, soprano, and JeanPhilippe McClure, baritone.

The festival continues next

weekend with two performances by the LaFayette string Quartet.

Lemelin acknowledged in an interview that this year’s fourconcert festival is substantially

scaled down from past years. “It is only for this year,” he stressed.

“We are going through a transition.

Next year’s festival will be larger again.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Man named Weed busted for growing pot

The high and mighty in the media

Dear Editor, This is in response to Chris Malette’s morally superior and highly disparaging editorial last week regarding Kelly Leitch’s proposal to screen future immigrants for non-Canadian values.

He quotes a recent poll conducted for the Toronto Star that reports that 67% of Canadians indeed agree with Leitch, that forced marriages, genital mutilation or honour killings to mention a few little cultural traditions, are not the way to go in this neck of the woods. He further states that this large group of Canadians, who want to screen for these reprehensible beliefs, are basically a bunch of beer swilling donut eating rednecks that should be proud to breathe the same air as him and his politically correct ilk.

He points out that immigration is a great thing (which it is) and no one should oppose bringing in newcomers (a no brainer) but he and many other media elites just don’t get the basic

problem. In the last century, millions of hard working Italians, Irish, German, Chinese, French, Dutch, Polish etc. etc. immigrants landed on our shores ready to work hard and make a better life for themselves. Canada is a better place because of them. I asked some of my old buddies, (who jumped off of the boat from Holland in the forties) this morning in the coffee shop, if they had ever considered drowning their daughters in the Rideau Canal if those daughters wanted to act like average Canadian girls and maybe kiss a boy once in a while. You can probably guess what their answer was. I’m sure that most of you are aware, but for those of you who are not, there is a husband, wife and son presently serving a life sentence for that exact crime here in Canada.

Simply put, there is good immigration and there is bad immigration.

Mr. Malette suggests that we are being unfairly critical of folks from one certain part of the world (The Middle

East). Most people in the world generally think alike. Most have a love for freedom, safety and happiness, but it is an inconvenient truth that some, from certain areas of the planet just don’t seem to fit in. Their ideas are simply too different from ours. Some of those people’s ideas are completely incompatible and it is no sin to prefer that they live elsewhere.

Mr. Malette’s broad dismissal of 67 % of the Canadian population reminds me of Hillary Clinton’s recent remarks that Donald Trump’s supporters are a basket of deplorables. Nice talk for folks who are constantly reminding Conservatives how intolerant we are.

I submit, that the reason for the rise of people like Donald Trump is because of the never-ending barrage of condescending, sanctimonious, morally superior attitudes of left leaning folks like Mr. Malette being shoved down the throats of regular Joes like you and I. Doug Gower, Codrington

A man appropriately named Weed was one of three Belleville men busted Sept. 13 in a joint investigation into a variety of marijuana grow operations in farmers’ fields.

Ian Weed, 34, was one of the men arrested in what police called an elaborate hidden pot production network.

The arrests occurred Sept. 13 following an investigation focusing on the illegal production of marijuana in what police described as “unsuspecting farmer’s fields.” The charges followed a combined effort by members of the Belleville Police Service Drug Unit, Emergency Response Team and members of the OPP Drug Enforcement Unit in which police conducted a traffic stop in the Thurlow Ward of Belleville and arrested the two men in a vehicle. Following the traffic stop, police executed three search warrants at residences in Belleville and Thurlow.

Police allege the investigation “revealed that the accused had planted marijuana plants throughout fields in the Thurlow ward of Belleville, Thomasburg and the Melrose area.”

As a result of the search warrants and the vehicle stop, police seized a quantity of marijuana plants, cash, digital weigh scales and a Ford F-150 pick-up truck.

Charged are: Adam Rushlow, 39, of Belleville. Rushlow is facing five counts of production of marijuana, possession for the purpose of trafficking and possession of the proceeds of crime.

Weed, 34, of Belleville, faces two counts of production of marijuana and possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking.

TRAVEL

Luxembourg’s Spectacular Bock Promontory and Casemates

By John M. Smith

My visit to Luxembourg was full of awesome surprises and spectacular sights, for it was my first encounter with this little gem that’s located right in the heart of Europe, and bordered by France, Belgium, and Germany. The city of Luxembourg itself, in the country of Luxembourg, appears to be like something out of a fairy tale, with its castle ruins and its many eye-popping turrets, towers, and fortifications.

My favourite attraction of all was located in the northeast corner of the capital city’s old historical district, for it’s here that I marvelled at the Bock promontory and its incredible network of tunnels.

The Bock Promontory is a massive rock ledge that towers high above the Alzette River Valley, so it serves as a natural fortification, and it offers spectacular views of the surrounding area. It was here, way back in 963, that Count Siegfried decided to build a castle, and he named it “Lucilinburhuc” (“small fortification”), thus founding what has become Luxembourg. This promontory, then, is often referred to as “the cradle of the city”. As the years passed, the castle and the surrounding town that grew here were strengthened by the addition of more fortifications, walls and gates, and it eventually became known as the “Gibraltar of the North”. A series of tunnels was also added, beginning in the 17th century (under Spanish domination), and later these casemates (chasms) were enlarged and expanded to become an

extraordinary 23 km.- long network, with huge galleries, strategic lookout points, cannon loop-holes, and a complex underground infrastructure that housed defenders, along with their horses, supplies, artillery, and equipment. However, under the terms of a treaty signed in 1867, Luxembourg had to demolish these fortifications, and most of the surface fortifications were, indeed, destroyed, but many of the casemates remained intact. By 1933, these casemates were opened to the public, used as a bomb shelter during WWII, and declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site by 1994 – and it’s now possible for visitors to take tours through this incredible labyrinth of underground tunnels (from the end of March until the end of October).

I, of course, took this tour, and I found it fascinating. Only about 10% of the old fortifications remain, but those mammoth tunnels that are carved into the rocky precipice are quite the experience! Many of the former loop-holes, used as emplacements for the cannons that were brought into these casemates, are now closed up, but there’s still quite a network of tunnels, chambers, and balconies, and it would be possible to get somewhat disoriented and spend quite some time trying to find one’s way out of here, perhaps a bit like an insect wandering about in a Swiss cheese. Stairs led me down to a huge archaeological crypt where wall plates gave me an overview of the fortification’s history, and then more stairs took me down through the

dungeons of Siegfried’s old castle. I was particularly fascinated by my visit to the Castle Bridge, built back in the 18th century (by the Austrians), which connected the Bock fortifications to the Old Town. I found that there were several optional ways to cross this bridge, including a spiral staircase up through the main arch, a passageway via the four upper arches, a tunnel under the road at the bottom, and a road over the top, too.

I found that the most awesome view of the promontory and tunnel loop-holes was from the Corniche, a pedestrian promenade that’s often referred to as “Europe’s most beautiful balcony”. From here, up on the escarpment, I could also see into the river valley far below, with its winding, gentle river, its dominating Neumunster Abbey (which once housed Benedictine monks, later served as both a hospital and a prison, and now is a cultural meeting place), its still maintained convent gardens, its small footbridge (“Stierchen”), and its distant railroad trestle that towers over the valley.

I also partook in the “Wenzel Walk”, which guided me through the history of the city. This particular walk is named after Wencelas II, the Duke of Luxembourg between 1383 and 1419, and during this time, a third wall (the Wenzel Wall) was added to the fortifications. A section of this amazing structure still exists today.

This particular wall had 37 towers and 15 gates, and it linked Upper Town and the Rham Plateau. Archeologists have

discovered that a moat once existed in front of this wall. I passed the Grund Gate, a bastioned gate built by the Spaniards in 1632, and I descended into the river valley itself. I eventually ascended a staircase and arrived at the Second Gate Of Trier (built in 1590), and I later arrived at another old city gate, Biesserpuert, and the Grund Lock (which constituted yet another obstacle for attacking troops, for the city’s two rivers could then be dammed up). I completed this circular walk by again ascending out of the valley and

arriving at the Holy Ghost Plateau, which was inhabited by a cloister of nuns back in the 13th century.

Guided tours of this Wenzel Walk are available for about 15 EUR, and you’ll stroll about 5 km. in a couple of hours. It’ll cover about a thousand years of Luxembourg history and will also provide you with several ‘photo ops’ and spectacular views of this beautiful city, including its notto-be-missed Bock promontory and casemates.

Historical Society a busy group

By Jack Evans

Among the many Quinte area organizations launching busy schedules for the fall season is the Hastings County Historical Society.

Arguably one of the area’s more venerable organizations, the HCHS holds free public presentations on local history on the third Tuesday of every month, starting Sept. 20 at 7 p.m. in the back hall of Maranatha Church, when the speaker will be Bobby Jo Morris, talking on the history of Shannonville.

On Oct. 18, author and historian Sandra Joyce will speak on The British Home Children from 1869 to 1939. That includes a number of children who came to the Quinte area.

On Nov. 15, author and historian Sherry Pringle will discuss her recent book,” Extraordinary Women- Extraordinary Times: Canadian Women in WW II.” One of the society’s major annual events and a key fund raiser is its annual banquet, set for Saturday, Oct. 22 in the Travelodge Hotel.

flyers. coupons. deals. cash back.

One of Canada’s most acclaimed authors and newspaper columnists, Roy MacGregor, will join the parade of outstanding speakers over the years for this event.

MacGregor was born in Whitney and raised in Huntsville, thus he is familiar with our north country and his topic: “Bumblebees and Maple Leaves.” His many books include several devoted to Algonquin Park, especially the famous artist, Tom Thomson. His latest book is “Canoe Country: The Making of Canada.” His many awards include both literary and Officer of the Order of Canada. He is also acclaimed as a writer on hockey and a script writer for major television productions. Tickets, at $65, are now available for an evening which includes a social hour starting at 6 p.m., banquet at 7 p.m. with choice of salmon or chicken. Call Mary-Lynne Morgan at 961-7091 or Richard Hughes at 9617772.

Readers can also learn more about the work of the society at its website: www.hastingshistory. ca.

OBITUARY

OBITUARY

The Rev. Dr. W. Joseph Price Died on Tuesday September 13, 2016 in Central Okanagan Hospice House, Kelowna, BC at the age of 90.

Joe was born May 12, 1926 in Barrie, Ontario, the fourth son of Rev. Major Merritt Price and Dorothy (Harrison) Price.

He is survived by his wife Susie (Vera Gordon), three children: Kathryn, Andrew and Peter; five grandchildren: Angela, Melissa, Amanda, Caitlin, Hannah; and three great-grandchildren: Margaux, Lucas and Mason.

He is predeceased by three brothers – David, Lloyd (Bud) and Bruce.

Joe and Susie were married September 17, 1948 in Madoc, Ontario.

His early education was in Actinolite Public School and Tweed High School, interrupted in 1944 when he enlisted in the Canadian Army at Fort Frontenac, Kingston, and served with the West Nova Scotia Regiment. After the war he had a variety of work experiences as carpenter, lumberman, surveyor and owner of a successful restaurant, “The Log Cabin”.

After a twelve year hiatus, he resumed his education at Queen’s University (B.A.), and Queen’s Theological College (B.D., M.Div.); then with post-graduate scholarships he studied at Union Theological Seminary, New York (S.T.M.), and University of Ottawa (Ph.D.).

Joe entered the ministry in 1954 and was ordained by the United Church of Canada in 1962 serving congregations in Ontario, Saskatchewan, New York, British Columbia and Jamaica as well as 10 years as the Executive Secretary of the Bay of Quinte Conference. After his “retirement” in 1988, he continued to serve short and long term supply from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

In Joe’s long life and ministry he has touched many lives through Sunday services, weddings, funerals and baptisms, and has entertained and inspired many with his sense of humour and endless stories.

A Memorial Service and Celebration of Life was held at Westbank United Church on September 20, 2016 at 2:00 pm with Rev. Dr. Wayne Atkinson officiating.

If friends so desire, donations in memory of Joe may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Cancer Society, Central Okanagan Hospice House, Kelowna or your favourite charity.

Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome. com, 250-860-7077.

There’s a kitchen party at the church An evening of Celtic tradition is on tap for Belleville’s Eastminster United Church.

Tom and Conrad are quite likely to have every foot tapping in Eastminster Church to an infectious blend of traditional and original musicality influenced by Celtic, Maritime and North American folk tunes. Prepare for an evening of fun and memorable entertainment.

Tom Leighton has performed on many CDs, and for musical theatre performances, festivals, showcases, and radio features. Tom (with longtime partner Mark Haines) is an East Coast Music Award nominee and Borlealis recording artist. He is a talented multi-instrumentalist, best known for his lively, spirit- filled playing on the accordion and piano. He also has many arranging credits. His recent CD, Leighton Life, is filled with mostly original tunes and he continues to perform as a solo artist, accompanist and in partnership with Conrad.

Conrad Kipping was born in Edmunston New BRUNSWICK, and became interested in folk music at an early age. He is a multiinstrumentalist, having mastered the guitar, mandolin and many fiddle styles. He has toured and recorded with the legendary Stompin’ Tom Connors and also played for years with Melody Ranch, and Whiskey Jack.

It’s the fourth and final installment of “This is My Canada Presents,” the brainchild of “Ms. Canadiana,” the well-earned nickname for singer-songwriter Jeanette Arsenault. Confessing to a lifelong and unabashed patriotism, her composition “This is My Canada” became the basis for the four-concert series in Belleville. And, never one to think small, Arsenault is dreaming about taking the show on the road one day to celebrate local artists and Canadian music in communities all across the country.

“I see this project as a collective of artists of all disciplines and Canadians of all walks of life, coast to coast to coast, describing what Canada means to them. It’s a shared vision of “my” Canada rather than just Jeanette Arsenault’s point of view,” she says.

The series of shows, featuring some of Central Ontario’s best known musicians, began in January with Marie-Lynn Hammond, and also featured Andy Forgie in April, and the Starpainters Jazz & Swing Trio in June.

Tickets are $15, and are available by contacting Jeanette Arsenault jeanette.arsenault@gmail.com 613.243.3330 www.JeanetteArsenault.ca or by calling Eastminster United Church in Belleville at 613.969.5212 or emailing Peter Kerr: admin@ eastminsterunited.ca

Autumn’s Tapestry

Dan Clost Now is the time to look for colour for your fall garden, especially if you don’t have it in your fall garden. The quintessential plant which tells us autumn has arrived is the sugar maple with their large orange leaves. Well, maybe it is the native red maple. Wait, perhaps it is the rich yellows of the poplars. The gold of the tamarack?

The deep green backdrop of a black spruce?

There is one tree that you won’t find on my list, Gentle Reader, and that is the Norway maple- no matter which one you choose.

(I’m not dead set against Acer platanoides; in fact, I would likely include a few of them in a design if there weren’t already eleventy eleven of them in the neighbourhood.)

The challenge for many of us is that our

yards aren’t quite large enough to support a big tree. I am not a big supporter of those folks who purchase a plant that they know will cause problems down the road for whoever takes on stewardship of the estate.

Poverty Roundtable meets to address troubling statistics provincially.

Facing these distressing statistics, the PRT is working to create coordinated multisector action to reduce poverty. The PRT realizes that poverty is complex, and that all voices are needed at the table to achieve change. This means people who are or who have experienced poverty, as well as social sector employees, the business community and general community at large, are encouraged to come together for poverty reduction.

The Poverty Roundtable has quarterly meetings open to everyone (as well as several working groups).

The goal of the roundtable is to create a community where everyone experiences

Belleville - The next public meeting of the Poverty Roundtable will be held Wednesday, Sept. 28 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre.

The Poverty Roundtable is a collaborative of more than 200 individuals, businesses and organizations committed to seeing what they can do, or do differently to respond to poverty in our communities.

Poverty is a serious issue for many of our community members. Hastings and Prince Edward counties have some of the highest poverty rates in Ontario. Most concerning is that 25.8 per cent of children between ages one and four live in poverty; five communities reported poverty above 20 per cent; and recent 2014 data shows the food insecurity rate increasing to 11.4 per cent (the provincial average is 8.3 per cent).

In education, a predictor of future poverty, local fouryear graduation rates were 64 per cent versus 76 per cent

a standard of living which is sufficient for their physical, social, emotional, and spiritual well-being without compromise of dignity or self-respect.

The Sept. 28 meeting will provide members and the public updates on collective work on housing, on employment and income security, on the development of a food security working group as well as invite members to get to work on engaging more members of the communities across Hastings and Prince Edward in building for poverty reduction.

Arts council looking for help

By Jack Evans

computer site company. The new website is designed to be more user friendly, more informative and with greater capacity to promote both the arts council and its member agencies and members. It still drew some challenges from some older members who said “ a simple explanation of how to do what one wants to do would help.”

Quinte Arts Council officials at the annual general meeting Tuesday reported that 2015 was a solid year in terms of successful projects. But clouds of financial insecurity continue to hang over the agency, which is preparing to mark its 50th year next year.

Executive director Carol Feeney, in an emotional appeal, reviewed how thin the line of human resources is with only three staff members and eight board members.

“We need help,” she said. “I don’t want to see our arts council go under like Northumberland and Peterborough already have, especially on the verge of our 50th anniversary.”

The meeting, held at the Belleville Club, drew a modest crowd of traditional arts supporters.

At least the board got off to a better start by electing four new directors: Lise Lindenberg, Joel George, Andrea Kerr and Brigitte Frances. All three four have extensive experience in various fields of the arts.

Dan Atkinson, chairman, stressed that a suitable platform of funding would ease the agency’s situation greatly. Noting the many activities the council is involved in, he said: “We can’t spend all of our time fund raising.”

One significant achievement in the past year was completion of a massive Carol Feeney, executive director, choked reconstruction of the council’s website up as she called for additional help from as presented by They Integrated, a local arts supporters. Photo by Jack Evans
