A show of strength at first Ontario Strong Man competition at Trudeau’s Park By Brett Mann

Stoco – They lifted and toted the craziest things here over the weekend. The lawns and lakefront of Trudeau’s Park formed the backdrop to an Ontario Strong Man competition here last weekend. To a soundtrack of loud rock music, a moderately-sized crowd watched 11 trained weight lifters compete for the $500 first prize in five separate events. Along with the traditional barbell (“axle” 295 lbs clean lift with repetitions), competitors performed an 875 lb car dead lift, executed a 100 foot “farmer’s walk” with 315 lbs in each hand, and a “medley carry” with a 270 lb sandbag, a 290 lb train wheel and a 200 lb spherical “Atlas stone.” The keg toss event involved tossing eight kegs weighing 35 – 50 lbs over a 15 foot high wall. As a
sidelight audience members were offered a $20 bill if they could squeeze a set of 200 lb hand grips until the inner tips touched. A number of people took the challenge. None succeeded. The Strong Man competition was organized by professional weight lifter Ben Ruckstuhl from Trenton, with help from his wife Ashly. Ruckstuhl was organizing rather than participating due to serious injuries incurred in a lift last year, and he hobbled around on a set of crutches officiating the contests. Co-incidentally, Trudeau’s Park owner Casey Trudeau also was using crutches due to an injury unrelated to weight lifting. “I’m currently holding the Ontario Strongest Man title. I’ve won it two times,” Ruckstuhl said. Competitors arrived from all over Ontario, with
one entrant from Quebec. “This year I’m running Ontario’s Strongest Man in Trenton on Canada Day,” he noted. “The only reason I’m running this is that I’m off for at least a year, from injuries. I had a surgery seven weeks ago … I tore all the ligaments, dislocated the kneecap. I was lifting a 365 lb Atlas stone.” Ruckstuhl described the venue at Trudeau’s Park as “awesome – it couldn’t be a better day. We’re hoping to be able to build this event to make it bigger next year.” He observed that four professional weightlifters, not including himself, were entrants in today’s contest. First place winner at this event was Jim Paquet from Quebec, followed by Paul Vaillancourt of Renfrew in second place and David Jennings of Sudbury in third place.

Marmora Library Story Time hosts The Dinosaur Lady By Margriet Kitchen Marmora - Retired teacher Betsy Cotton is known as the ‘Dinosaur Lady’. An amateur paleontologist, Cotton spends many hours bringing an exciting interactive program of information, games and yes, even dinosaur poop to schools, libraries, and any children’s groups who wish to have an informative, fun time learning about dinosaurs, and T-Rex (tyrannosaurus rex) in particular. Thirteen children, with parents, volunteers, and librarian Joan Hutt, spent the afternoon Friday May 20 being introduced to the world of the ancient dinosaur giants, their characteristics, and their eating habits, through books, lecture and games. Hands-on in the truest sense was experienced through being able to touch petrified dinosaur poop. The kind of information that makes Cotton’s presentation
fascinating, included the comment that dinosaur eating habits can be discovered through studying the remains of undigested bits of foods in petrified dinosaur poop. The museum of Nature in Ottawa has such a specimen from Alberta, which when examined by specialists was found to contain the remains of an ostrich type dinosaur as the T-rex’s last meal. The children created take-home molds of dinosaur model footprint tracks from scale models which are not toys, but actual replicas as created from more recently constructed skeletons. Children checked out the comparative size of their feet, when placed on a poster replica of an actual dinosaur footprint. They played various educational fun games which re-enforced the information presented by Cotton, and were encouraged to move about the playroom in the manner of dinosaurs, taking into consideration the short fore-

Big Bad Wolf in trial of the century! In Campbellford! And you can be on the jury! By John Campbell Campbellford – The Big Bad Wolf – victim or victimizer? Hard to be believe the question even gets asked given the fellow’s poor rep but you can help deliver a verdict by serving on the jury as an audience member when Campbellford District High School presents Big Bad, May 26, 27, 28. It’s the civil trial of fairy tales’ most notorious villain, the one who allegedly terrorized the The Three Pigs, reportedly made a fool of the Shepherd boy, and supposedly devoured Little Red Riding Hood and her Grandmother (who apparently were rescued by a woodcutter). All seven characters, along with others, testify in the class action lawsuit, with the Evil Stepmother and the Fairy Godmother, reportedly “the two greatest legal minds in the Enchanted Forest,” arguing the case. “The whole conceit of the play is guilt and innocence isn‘t quite cut and dried as it always
seems to be or as it‘s presented in the media, and so that‘s one of the reasons we have different endings,” said CDHS drama arts teacher Reg Stacey, the show‘s producer and director. Yep, three “distinct and very different” endings, to “represent the complexities of exploring guilt and innocence.” But comically. “It sounds pretty deep for a children‘s play but it does have all the zaniness and flourishes of a family show for all ages and we‘re pretty excited,” Stacey said. “The characters are very, very authentic, they pop, they‘re larger than life, and these guys have worked really hard and I‘m proud of them.” The 14-member cast is led by Morgan Wright-Mellone as the Big Bad Wolf, Taylor Polich as the Fairy Godmother, Sydney Wade as the Evil Stepmother, Sydney Seabrooke as Judge Wise Old Man, and Carter Holmes as Court TV commentator Sydney Grimm.
The “mostly junior” cast is “absolutely stupendous,” Stacey said. For Wright-Mellone, one of only two Grade 12 students in the cast, it‘s been “amazing to see the bond that grows between cast members” over four months of rehearsals. Wade and Polich, both 16-year-old Grade 11 students, feel the same way. “The cast really gets along, all of us just really want to see this be a success, it‘s been a really good experience for everyone,” Polich said. We “love doing it and [are] having fun every time, even if we‘re having a bad day,” Wade said. Seabrooke, a 15-year-old Grade 9 student, says the sixhour rehearsals cast and crew have been putting in of late are “worth it [because] it‘s going to be a great show.” Tickets can be purchased in advance at the high school or at the door, $5 for students and Big Bad Wolf (Morgan Wright-Mellone) and his lawyer, Evil Stepmother [Sydney Wade], along with Miss Muffit (Abby-Jo Godseniors, $10 for adults.
den), listen to testimony in Campbellford District High School‘s production of “Big Bad.” Cast members, apart from the judge, don‘t know in advance which of the play‘s three endings they‘ll be performing, which is “really cool,” Wright-Mellone said. No matter which one, “it‘s going to be a lot of fun.” Photo by John Campbell
Canada Road Safety Week promotes safe driving COUNTY ROAD 28, WESTBOUND ON‐RAMP TO HIGHWAY 401 Please be advised that the County Road 28 (Ontario Street), Westbound on‐ramp to Highway 401 will be closed daily to all traffic, including emergency vehicles.
By Terry McNamee Stirling - If you’re driving anywhere in Hastings and Prince Edward Counties this week, pay special attention to how you drive. The Quinte Region Traffic Coalition is supporting Canada Road Safety Week from May 17-23 by increasing traffic enforcement and educating drivers about safe driving behaviour. “Most of the deaths and injuries that occur on our roadways are preventable,” said Constable Scott Preston of the Stirling-
Rawdon Police Service. “We’re asking the public to choose safe behaviours while travelling on our roadways, whether as a driver or passenger.” This week, local police will be paying particular attention to behaviours that put drivers, passengers, pedestrians and other vulnerable road users most at risk. These include distracted driving (such as cell phone use), speeding, driving while impaired by alcohol and/ or drugs and not using or improper use of restraint systems such as seat belts or child safety seats.
Daily Closure times are as follows:
Monday May 30 until Thursday June 2, 2016 – 9:00 AM till 8:30 PM For further information, please contact: Nancy Elliott, Project Manager, MTO ‐ Eastern Region Email: nancy.elliott@ontario.ca; Tele.: 613‐545‐4662 Or Douglas Raby, Project Manager, MMM Group Email: RabyD@mmm.ca; Tele.: 613‐736‐7200

Libya: The hesitation two-step
Gwynne Dyer
When “Prime Minister” Fayez al-Sarraj of the “Government of National Accord” GNA) arrived in Libya a month ago, US Secretary of State John Kerry said that it was “not the time for obstructionists to hold back progress.” A noble sentiment, but it does make you want to ask Kerry: When would be the right time for obstructionists to hold back progress?
Next Tuesday? It was just one more slice of the meaningless waffle that passes for policy statements when Western statesmen discuss what to do about the Libya mess. The country has collapsed into violence and chaos since NATO bombers (with sporadic help from local militias) drove long-ruling dictator Muammar Gaddafi from power in 2011, and Kerry has no good plan for dealing with it. Sarraj’s GNA merely adds a third contender to the two rival governments that already claim to rule the country, and not one of them actually controls much territory. It is the hundreds of militias that really control Libya’s territory, and the fortunes of the contending governments rise and fall depending on how many militias will agree to back them (in return for various favours and subsidies, of course). Western governments are finally paying attention to Libya mainly because ISIS (Islamic State) fighters are active there, and because refugees are flowing into Europe from Libya again now that the route through Turkey and Greece has been blocked. The Italian, British and French governments have been talking about sending 6,000 troops into Libya to train a Libyan army that could take on ISIS and defeat it. There are already American, British, French and Italian special forces teams in the country, and there have been at least four American air strikes against ISIS camps in Libya since December. It all sounds like a full-scale Western military intervention in Libya is imminent, except that it has been sounding like that for the past six months, and the intervention still hasn’t happened. There is a curious reluctance to take the final step. The Western interventionists are right to hesitate. The fear that ISIS will take over most of Libya if they don’t put troops in is grossly exaggerated: lately ISIS has been losing ground in Libya, not gaining it. More importantly, ISIS

can never be eliminated entirely unless there is a single, legitimate Libyan government backed by a disciplined army. So the first priority for the Western powers is to create a government that has the legal authority to invite Western troops in to help. “The GNA [Government of National Accord] is the only entity that can unify the country,” Kerry explained. “It is the only way to generate the cohesion necessary to defeat Daesh [IS].” So the Western great powers have just created such a government, using the United Nations as their vehicle. The GNA is not a Libyan initiative; its members were picked by foreigners, and that is how Fayez Sarraj found himself the prime minister of the Government of National Accord. Farraj is a respected non-partisan figure, the kind of person who gets appointed to head up a National Commission for this or that. If either of the existing claimants to be the Libyan government were inclined to hand over power to the GNA, Farraj would be just the sort of reassuring chap to win them over. But neither contender, the General National Congress in the capital, Tripoli, or the elected House of Representatives in Tobruk, a thousand kilometres to the east, is inclined to do anything of the sort. Indeed, Farraj was unable to fly into Tripoli with his retinue because the General National Congress closed the airport. He only finally arrived by sea, thanks to the US Navy. Ordinary Libyans might support the GNA, if only out of despair. They are sick of the intermilitia fighting, the financial chaos, and the lack of any government services, and they might well accept a foreign-backed “government” with lots of money and troops at its disposal. But it’s not ordinary Libyans who have to be convinced to hand over power. It’s the local politicians and the militias who control them, and they won’t do it. Maybe foreign firepower could compel them to accept the GNA’s authority, but the Western powers are not willing to commit their troops to that sort of open-ended military operation. They just want to go after ISIS and the people-smugglers, and if the GNA can give them the legal cover to do that, it will have served its purpose. And even then they may decide in the end not to commit Western troops on the ground, because ISIS is not really such a big deal in Libya. Amongst the several hundred thousand members of the innumerable Libyan militia groups, ISIS has at most 5,000 fighters. It does some spectacularly nasty things, like murdering 22 Egyptian Christian foreign workers on a beach last January, but it only controls one smallish city (Sirte) and an adjacent stretch of coastline. The hesitation two-step may continue.

Tourism season is a fast moving train. Hop aboard Editorial - Chris Malette It used to be a tourist attraction featuring some mangy monkeys in a cage at the roadside gas station, where you could feed them the remnants of your ice cream cone to watch them fight for the morsel. At least it was when I was a wee kid in North Bay and we have the family photos to prove it; the one where one of my brothers and me were standing in front of the monkey cage with a sign above warning “Keep hands out of cage” and the next photo of me with a spit-eating grin and my brother holding his right hand in his left, howling like the monkeys in the cage behind him. No more, though. There’s more to cadging a dollar from passing visitors – much more. Heck, they’re even staying a night or two to spend tourism dollars. Now, festivals and special tourism events abound, dozens of them right here in our region. According to the member-supported promotion group, Festivals Ontario, • Ontario festivals and events are estimated to annually drive $2.3 billion in contribution to regional GDP. • Canada’s festival and event industry supports 50,000 full-time jobs. • The average small festival/event supports $424,000 in tax revenue at all three levels of government. • There are more than 2,500 festival events that happen across Ontario annually. • Ontario’s festivals/events contribute more than $1 billion of economic impact on a yearly basis. Ontario has 13 tourism regions, all of them mostly distinct from the natural features of the area, the cultural makeup of the people who live there and the types of festivals and events on offer.

ing everything from ice cream to fermented sauerkraut. Go north and you have the Rockhound Gemboree, many events in places like Tweed’s Trudeau Park for music festivals, Havelock’s monstrously popular Havelock Jamboree and on and on and on. You get the picture. There was a time, as not so distantly past that some of us of a certain age can’t remember, that the towns and villages outside the major centres were just places on a map with the occasional event, like a service club barbecue or ball tournament, to bring visitors to town. People from the cities found the towns and villages of this area as places to gas up, buy ice and beer on the way to the cottage or fishing trip, tatty little towns with not much to offer for an overnight stay. That’s all changed. Take Belleville’s Waterfront and Ethnic Festival. Some years ago, it was a multivenue location that featured, for a slew of big name music acts over two nights. It was criticized roundly for the party-hard aspect of the night time antics of many festival goers and has since progress (regressed, say some) to a family-friendly event centred at Zwicks Island Park and featurung ethnic foods, music and dance from a dozen or more countries. Thing is, it brings in visitors from all corners of the province, as do things like the bayshore Rib Fest, The County’s Taste and Canadian Cheese Festival, so many more. We’re no longer just roadside stops. The towns, villages and cities of the region that spans from the southern tips of Algonquin Park to the shores of Lake Ontario at Prince Edward County have become destinations in their own right. Mining, logging, fishing and farming used to be the main economic engines of the economy in these parts. To some extent for some of those sectors, they still are. But, as we have seen in an economy that’s shifted to cater to a higher tech, more travel savvy brand of traveler and visitor, tourism marketing and event planning is as vital to the economy of towns and villages here as were the sawmills and lumber plants of the past.

It takes a community to support a hospice By Diane Sherman Madoc - Until 1992, Central Hastings did not have a service for families facing the imminent death of a loved one. In 1990, a doctor, Cliff Derry, a nurse, Doris Bush and a minister, George Beals determined there was a crucial need for the care of terminally ill residents in Central Hastings, so they set out to create the Heart of Hastings Hospice (HHH). There is no charge for hospice services, so over the years volunteers from Madoc, Marmora, Stirling and Tweed have supported the Heart of Hastings Hospice through fundraising endeavours. In 2011, a campaign began to buy a house where families could spend time with loved ones in their last days, with 24 hour professional care. The house opened in 2012, and to keep it open and provide services, community members continued fundraising. The first major event of 2016 was May 1, when 47 supporters rallied in the Hike for Hospice at O’Hara Mill Homestead. As of May 6, pledges and donations mounted to just over $3,300 with more yet to come. On May 7, an afternoon tea at the Kiwanis Club and a dance at night featur-
ing two bands tallied up $2,000 more. Event planner Laurie Roy said 15 local businesses pitched in to help with expenses. “It was a great day and a rocking night!” Community co-ordinator for HHH, Carrie Salsbury said, “We greatly depend on the generosity of individuals and community to meet operational needs, so we greatly appreciate the support of our hike participants.” She and her colleagues are hoping to recruit more volunteers, especially in the Stirling area where more are needed. A training course starts this week, May 11 at the Madoc residence. Those wanting to volunteer should contact the office. She says there will be time to catch up. “We have a place for everyone to volunteer and rely on their passion and dedication to keep us going.” Upcoming benefits will start on May 28 when Doug Hunter Ford hosts “Drive 4ur Community.” On June 11, a golf tournament will be held at Poplars Golf course in Tweed, and July 23, a Victorian Tea takes place at the Moffatt Manor, 253 Durham Street south in Madoc. For information, contact the hospice at O’Hara Mill Homestead volunteers made the 2016 Hike for Hospice an outdoor adventure for supporters of Heart of Hastings Hospice. Carrie Salsbury, Chris Budd, with Pepper, and Doris Bush are backed by hikers who raised over $3,300 for the hospice. Photo by Diane Sherman 613-473-1880.
Looking for some big project ideas in HBM By Bill Freeman Havelock – Now’s the time to strike a committee to talk about communitywide youth projects, says HavelockBelmont-Methuen Mayor Jim Martin. “It’s not to take away from council’s
priorities. Long-term care is number one but there are other priorities for younger people,” said Martin. “This thing has been popping up the past few weeks. We’ve got so many things on the go, that it’s kind of been deferred.“
TOWNSHIP OF MADOC Tender for Winter Sand
Martin says he was approached last week and asked how council would feel about getting “some sort of community project going.” He was quick to stress that he doesn’t want council to lead a committee but feels it has a role to play in facilitating or guiding one along. “I know we [township] don’t have a lot of money to directly do anything like this [but] maybe we could get some sort of committee together to see what some of the interests are; to see if we can get a campaign going.” Martin cited the township’s Campbellford Memorial Hospital CT Scan campaign, a community-wide initiative that raised $400,000, which also had a unify-
ing impact on the municipality. “I know there are a number of people “It brought the community together. out there with good ideas [and] projects I think it was a huge success. It’s nice they’d like to see happen,” said Gerow. to see people take ownership of something. This could be something like that. We need to see what people are looking for. There are a lot of different ideas out there. “We need to let people know the municipality doesn’t have a lot of money to spearhead this but sometimes it takes council to help them along and show them the right direction,” he said. The municipality, Martin added, needs a “committee to bring people together to come up with something the community can get behind.” Mayor Ron Gerow likes the idea.

Stirling-Rawdon residents face a tax hike of 2.5 per cent
By Terry McNamee
Stirling-Rawdon - After cutting as much as possible from the municipality’s 2016 budget, Stirling-Rawdon Council passed a budget that will give residents a 2.5 per cent increase on their property tax bill. Council managed to keep the increase low despite losing another $102,800 (9.4 per cent) in its Ontario Municipal Partnership Funding (OMPF) for this year. “Basically, our loss in the funding is the police part of the grant,” explained treasurer and acting CAO Roxanne Hearns. Stirling-Rawdon has kept its own police force. “We were getting money (from the province) to have a police force, back in the day,” said Councillor Jeremy Solmes. But the government has since revamped its funding, and now, since the province already funds the Ontario Provincial Police, OMPF will not cover funds for a separate police department in Stirling-Rawdon. Solmes said he cannot be sure there
would be funding for policing even if the municipality chose to switch to the OPP for its policing, and just going through the process required to make such a change would take at least four years, during which no savings would be realized. The tax increase is a fraction of what the municipality actually needs, said Mayor Rodney Cooney. “If we would have put it up 18 per cent, we would have been close to where we needed to be,” he commented. Total taxes on a typical residential property assessed at $200,000 would be $2,846.20. Of the overall tax levy, only 67 per cent actually goes to Stirling-Rawdon. Twenty per cent is paid to Hastings County and another 13 per cent goes to the boards of education. The Hastings County levy has increased 4.33 per cent compared to 2015. Hearns said Tweed and Centre Hastings are both getting much more funding, while Stirling-Rawdon is receiving more than half a million dollars
less from OMPF than in 2010 despite These costs were well under $10,000 enough new residential and other deexpenses such as hydro and insurance in 2000 and are now at $90,000 in velopment to spread out the tax burclimbing about 13 per cent and 12 per 2016. den, the weight on existing taxpayers cent respectively, this year alone. “That’s just completely crazy,” he will continue to increase.

HRA continues work on cigarette butt recycling project By Bill Freeman Hastings – The Hastings Revitalization Association (HRA) will continue to work towards establishing a cigarette butt recycling program in the village. The organization is a few sponsors short of being able to launch a program in tandem with TerraCycle, a company that specializes in recycling difficult to recycle packages and products. The association has sent a letter to local businesses explaining the program and inviting them to become a sponsor with a 50 per cent contribution toward a recycling unit. The HRA would chip in the additional 50 per cent.

Businesses from outside the downtown core have also been invited to sponsor the full cost of a unit. They would have their names attached to the container advertising their support. The HRA has received eight “definite” endorsements and three “possible” and needs a few more in order to make the project feasible. The cost of a recycling container is around $96, including taxes and shipping. “Once we get a minimum of 10 orders, that would make it feasible to do,” says HRA Chair Mike Metcalf. TerraCycle takes the recyclable material and then repurposes them into useable items. The company’s ciga-
Central Hastings Trent Hills News - Thursday, May 26, 2016
rette butt recycling program has been in Canada since 2012. The collected butts are recycled into plastic pellets to make industrial products like plastic shipping pallets. The recycling program accepts all parts of an extinguished cigarette, cigarette filters, cigar stubs, outer plastic wrapping, inner foil packaging, rolling paper and ash. It does not accept the cardboard packaging of the cigarette package which can be collected through the municipality’s recycling program. Participating organizations do not have to pay for shipping to TerraCycle. The company provides shipping boxes and shipping labels. Participants collect
points which can be redeemed and dedicated to a chosen charity. The City of Vancouver launched a pilot program with TerraCycle in 2013 with 110
recycling containers situated in various locations. The city estimates it collects around 30,000 cigarette butts a month. “If we have 10, we’re going
to roll with this,” says Metcalf. “It’s not a money maker. It’s feel good and hopefully people get the cleaning-it-up bit,” he said at an earlier meeting.
Expo to highlight the many services Northumberland has to offer By John Campbell Northumberland County – A Community Connections Expo highlighting more than 75 services in the county will take place June 3-4 at the Cobourg Community Centre. The free event organized by Safe Communities Northumberland County includes three keynote speakers from the world of sports – Olympic medallists Sheryl Pounder and Clara Hughes, and former NHL player Sheldon Kennedy. Pounder played on six of Canada’s world championship hockey teams and has been a professional speaker for more than a decade. Hughes, the only athlete in history to win multiple medals in both summer and winter Olympic Games, is a mental health advocate who has been candid about her struggle with depression, which she detailed in a bestselling memoir, Open Heart, Open Mind.
Kennedy, who was sexually abused by his major junior hockey league coach over five years, has become an inspiration to millions of abuse survivors around the world by talking openly about what he experienced. He established the Sheldon Kennedy Child Advocacy Centre and has played a leading role in improving the way child abuse is handled. He is scheduled to speak at 7 p.m. June 3. Pounder will make deliver her talk at 8:30 a.m. June 4 followed by Hughes at 11:30. Numerous breakout sessions will also be held, with presenters sharing personal stories about subjects such as domestic violence, parenting, seniors health, addictions, cybercrime, intellectual disabilities and more. Panels of community service providers will also weigh in on the issues. A Kid Zone will be set up promoting cycling and child safety, and there will be emer-
gency services demonstrations Child care will be offered at no cost during the breakout sessions and Community Care Northumberland will provide free transportation to the expo from across the county. To make arrangements, call 1-866-514-5774 by May 30. Lunch is also free. In addition to making residents aware of the many services available in the county, the expo is also intended to identify and bridge gaps in services. “It’s really just a start for us to try to get everyone working together,” and provide “onestop shopping where people aren’t having to go everywhere to get help,” said Northumberland OPP Detachment Commander Inspector Lisa Darling. It’s the “beginning of something even better.” To learn more about the event, visit www.northumberland.safecommunities.parachute canada. org.

Percy Boom sledders give back to community The Percy Boom Snowmobile Club held their annual dinner recently to recognize and thank landowners, permit sellers and volunteers at the Codrington Community Centre. Betty Wickman of Campbellford catered the meal enjoyed by all 60 people in attendance. The club this year made its donation to the Bridge Hospice in Warkworth from the 50/50 draw. The club matched the 50/50 proceeds which resulted in a total donation of $360. The Percy Boom Snowmobile Club, which is part of District 3, has 11 clubs and is part of 16 Districts that form the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC). The club currently has 240 members and 140 kilometres of trail in Trent Hills, Brighton and Quinte West which forms part of the approximately 40,000 kilometres of trail network in Ontario that is part of OFSC.

Hastings – It’s the bane of people trying to keep shorelines clean and the fish, birds, swimmers and boaters who share the water and aquatic habitats. Discarded fishing line has become a dangerous and nearly invisible threat, and the Hastings Revitalization Association (HRA) has partnered with local business Trent River Eco Solutions to install special containers designed for recycling fishing line. “Parks Canada is really interested; they were very enthusiastic,” says HRA member Keith Fairservice who has volunteered along with his wife Julie to empty the ten containers that will be installed along the Hastings County Road 45 bridge and designated fishing areas near Lock 18. Fairservice says there might be an opportunity to install one near the boat

Small hands, big wonders at Earl Prentice By Margriet Kitchen Marmora – “In our school, volunteers touch the future, and change the world!” As part of Education week in Ontario, Earl Prentice school held a volunteer assembly to thank bus drivers, parent volunteers, breakfast club workers, fundraisers, school council memebers, and many others. They were treated to music, song and poetry by grades 1-3. Songs celebrating spring, the ‘quarium’, a lovely thank you recitation, and a group recorder concert all entertained an appreciative audience. A celebration cake and refreshments followed in the library, where the attendees were invited to fill out a school climate survey on the computers to express their impressions of the work and influence of Earl Prentice school for the students and the community. Aspects are covered such as to how well the school is
doing, what parents’ experiences are, and how the school is doing in the system and on its own. Trustee Bonnie Daines representing the Hastings-Prince Edward School Board, attended the assembly, as she had for Marmora Senior School and a number of others in her district. Children decorated the gym walls with beautiful artwork of spring flowers, and shadow portraits, many of which will be entered in the Marmora Fair. Wednesday featured the Celebration of Dance, and a second appreciation assembly to include the many additional volunteers was held on Thursday. School vice-principal Clinton Breau had introduced the event by enthusiastically commending the audience; “Thank you all so much for everything you do.” The final phase of the morning included students serving cake and refreshments on their colourful handmade placemats in the library. Mrs. Hughes’ grade three students at Earl Prentice School showed their appreciation with a visual display, and a well-practiced madrigal type thank you song that rang through the auditorium to the delight of the audience.

Vendor and craft sale raises money for Tweed Pet Food Bank By Brett Mann Tweed – Sheri Koekman, originator of the Tweed and Area Pet Food Bank, appeared gratified with the results of a recent fundraising sale at the Tweed Agricultural Building. Thirtysix vendors participated in the event which featured a wide choice of jewellery, photography, crafts and direct vendor sales. With a “steady flowthrough crowd,” Koekman said they raised about $500, with money still coming in from a silent auction. Beyond brisk sales, “A lot of people did come out just to support us” and make direct donations, Koekman reported. The main organizer of the sale event was Aria Martin-Henderson, herself a vendor. “Aria put it all together,” said Koekman. With growing local support,
the determined Koekman has seen the pet food bank grow from unpromising beginnings in an unheated storage unit in January of 2015 to its present location at 224 Metcalf Street in Tweed. The food bank is open every Wednesday afternoon from noon until 2 p.m., and in addition to pet food, also assists pet owners with leashes, collars, beds and litter boxes, all donated. Information and referrals for pet-related problems are also provided. “We try to be a great source of information,” said Koekman. “We have people coming in with litters of puppies and kittens and we help find homes for them … and we direct people to where they can get pets spayed.” The Tweed Pet Food Bank assists pet owners beyond the
Tweed region. “We’ve had people come in from Flinton, Marmora, Northbrook – I give them extra rations, two weeks’ worth, to save them a trip.” Sometimes stocks run low and Koekman was especially pleased with the proceeds of the fundraising sale because they had run out of dog food. “We are constantly fundraising and we’re still struggling.” She notes she is helped by volunteer Maureen Rose, whom she regards as a partner. “She does half the work and is just as committed.” Larger premises would be helpful, but Koekman stresses that all supplies and pet food are donated by local individuals and businesses, for which she is Maureen Rose (l) and Sheri Koekman stand near the entrance to a fundraising sale for the Tweed Pet Food Bank at the Tweed very grateful. “Whenever I put Agricultural Building.

Looking for some big project ideas in HBM
By Bill Freeman
Havelock – Now’s the time to strike a committee to talk about community-wide youth projects, says Havelock-BelmontMethuen Mayor Jim Martin. “It’s not to take away from council’s priorities. Longterm care is number one but there are other priorities for younger people,” said Martin. “This thing has been popping up the past few weeks. We’ve got so many things on the go, that it’s kind of been deferred.“ Martin says he was approached last week and asked how council would feel about getting “some sort of community project going.” He was quick to stress that
he doesn’t want council to lead a committee but feels it has a role to play in facilitating or guiding one along. “I know we [township] don’t have a lot of money to directly do anything like this [but] maybe we could get some sort of committee together to see what some of the interests are; to see if we can get a campaign going.” Martin cited the township’s Campbellford Memorial Hospital CT Scan campaign, a community-wide initiative that raised $400,000, which also had a unifying impact on the municipality. “It brought the community together. I think it was a huge success. It’s nice to see people take ownership of something.
This could be something like that. We need to see what people are looking for. There are a lot of different ideas out there. “We need to let people know the municipality doesn’t have a lot of money to spearhead this but sometimes it takes council to help them along and show them the right direction,” he said. The municipality, Martin added, needs a “committee to bring people together to come up with something the community can get behind.” Mayor Ron Gerow likes the idea. “I know there are a number of people out there with good ideas [and] projects they’d like to see happen,” said Gerow.

IODE planning 100th anniversary celebrations
By Sue Dickens
Campbellford – The Bemersyde Chapter of the IODE is already planning its 100th anniversary celebrations under the leadership of Sheila Peters, their new president. “We’re getting a committee formed. We’d like to have a big event,” she noted. The Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire is a national women’s charitable organization and the local group has been giving back to the community for decades. The IODE also marks milestones of its members. Coz-

ette Barnum joined more than half a century ago and Kathryn McConnell, membership officer, presented her with a 50-year pin at a recent IODE meeting. The group has 38 members and continues to be active in the community even though Peters admits their group is aging. “The majority of our members are mature seniors,” she said. “Amy Cross is one of our younger members,” said Peters. She is now the group’s treasurer. New members are always welcome and one of them who joined in April, Nancy Soulliere, followed in her mother‘s and grandmother‘s footsteps. They were IODE members. “I had been vice-president for two years and would like to see the chapter continue to their 100th anniversary in 2018,” she said. This is her second two-year term. She was also president in 2008. “I took the presidency to make sure the IODE continues. All the members are wonderful to work with so it makes being president quite easy to do.” Focussing on education the IODE has been helping two adopted classes of students in Labrador since 1981, sending money so they can buy supplies. To fundraise, the IODE holds a newto-you sale in October. “We also run a bridge marathon,” said Peters. Money raised goes back to the community. “We give a $500 bursary every year to a student at Campbellford District High School in need of financial assistance. I am proud of the education awards we give out,” said Peters. The IODE also hosts fun events including bus trips to Herongate Theatre. Their next trip is June 9 and another is on Sept. 17.

Pedalling for hope and a cure in Havelock
By Bill Freeman
Havelock – It wouldn’t be spring without the Pedal For Hope cycling team pulling into area schools and sharing laughs and tears with students, staff and parents during rollicking and moving presentations. The saddle crew of local police officers and guest riders stopped in Havelock, Campbellford and Norwood last week part of a monthlong tour that will see them visit nearly 50 schools and cover at least 1,100 kilometres. At Havelock Belmont Public School, students presented the team with $5,958 raised during spirit week events and pledges for things like head shaving, pony tail trimming and hair dyeing. Pedal For Hope raised $418,783 last year and has collected over $3 million since its first ride in 2005; they eclipsed the $2 million in 2013 thanks to support across the community’s it visits driven in large part by the inspiring ingenuity of young students across the region. Pedal For Hope is now the largest fundraiser for pediatric cancer research in Canada and in 2014 presented a $1 million Impact Grant to Dr. Lillian Sung of the Hospital For Sick Children
in their name. The grant is being used to develop an App that allows childhood cancer patients to deliver their symptoms to doctors. “Youth raising funds for youth, makes total sense,” says Byron James, general manager of the Canadian Cancer Society’s Ottawa unit. “To have a six or seven-year-old know they’re doing something for a six or seven-year-old. It’s powerful stuff for sure,” James said during a first-hand look at a Pedal For Hope presentation at Norwood District High School two years ago. James says the Impact grant is “huge,” recalling a conversation he had with a pediatric oncologist at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). The doctor reminded him that in pediatric cancer research doctors have the “highest success rate of any cancer on the planet.” The survival rate is 80 per cent, he said. “If you make an investment at that stage of their lives, you are buying a five-year-old a life of 80 years. The survival rate is so high that every child who benefits from this has a new lease on life.”

Former dance hall celebrates 30 years of being a flea market By John Campbell Meyersburg – When Tom and Lola Holmes bought the property that was to become the Meyersburg Flea Market, the barn that had been turned into a dance hall, still had its stanchions and gutters. After one of the outdoor vendors asked about moving inside for the winter, so he could sell on weekends year-round, rather than just during warm weather, Tom replied he would allow it if five others agreed to do the same to pay for the heat. Enough stepped forward to make it worthwhile, and the flea market was on its way to becoming a very popular spot, celebrating its 30th anniversary last weekend, with draw prizes, a silent auction, live music and a deejay. “We started out with seven vendors,” today there are more than three dozen, Lola said. “It took two years to really get it going.” Tom was managing Campbellford Chrysler and Lola was the bookkeeper at Warkworth Co-op when they decided to buy the barn and the blacksmith shop in 1986 – a 25th wedding anniversary gift for Lola that made more sense than a diamond, Tom jokes, because he’d get to keep half if they split. They sold the business in 2005 to one of the vendors, Harbej Panchi, a merchant based in Markham, and spent the next 10 years living four months in Florida each winter. Last year, they were asked by Panchi to get involved in the flea market once again, as managers, to help reinvigorate the business, which had begun losing steam.
Tom and Lola Holmes started the Meyersburg Flea Market in 1986 and sold it in 2005, returning last year as managers at the request of the owner. The flea market celebrated its 30th anniversary last weekend. The former barn had been turned into a dance hall by they time they were wed in 1961 and held a shower there. Photo by John Campbell
They agreed, and it took “six months to get things back to where I wanted it,” Lola said. “All the vendors are quite happy.” Many are from Belleville and Quinte West; one, from Toronto, has been selling meat products at Meyersburg for 24 years. “I don‘t think there is as many flea markets now,” as there used to be,
Lola said. Many have “died off” but Meyersburg continues to pull in people looking for a bargain because vendors will “give deals here.” Since their return, she and her husband operate a booth as well, buying and selling collectibles, something Lola has done for years. “It‘s in your blood, it never leaves,” she said.

Stirling man to plead in body case A former Stirling man’s expected to enter a guilty plea in a case in 2015 in which a body was found in a duffle bag. Matthew Vincent Benoit, 31, was charged by Ontario Provincial Police after the body of a 27 year old was located near Kemptville Creek, in Leeds-Grenville, on October 14, 2015. Benoit was charged with indignity to a human body and conspiracy to commit an indictable offense. Two others have been charged in the case as well. Benoit is a graduate of St. Theresa Secondary in Belleville, and was to enter a plea on Thursday in Brockville court.

Fundraiser for Fort McMurray evacuees in Warkworth By Sue Dickens Warkworth – Fleeing the Fort McMurray fire with the clothes on their backs, Nick Nelson, formerly of Warkworth, his wife Ashley and their five-year-old son Cohen were among the 90,000 evacuees who fled for their lives, many of whom now calling Edmonton their temporary home. A fundraiser for the family is being organized by friends as the family attempts to rebuild their life after losing their home and everything in it to the fire. The fundraiser is a golf tournament and Sandra Pearson-Havimaki, who is spearheading the project, is hoping to get a hole in one so to speak with the day-long event. “I’ve known Nick my whole life, since he was a kid. He grew up at the golf course, spent all of his spare time there,” said Pearson-Havimaki. “I have texted with them. Their spirits are good. They are renting a house and their son is going to school in Edmonton.” It was nine years ago that Nelson left to work in Alberta’s oil sands country where he found a job as a heavy equipment technician. He met his wife there and they made a life for themselves, a life that has been turned upside down by “the beast,” a fire that has consumed
500,000 hectares of Boreal forest and has moved into Saskatchewan. Nelson was working for Syncrude Canada, a company that has continued to pay employees during their time of need. His parents Ron and Linda, of Warkworth, say they are overwhelmed by the community support. “We’re really humbled by it,” said his mom. His dad agreed. “We’re overwhelmed by the support people have shown out there and especially in this community to somebody who hasn’t been here for a while. We don’t know how to accept all of this.” Both are thankful their son and his family are ok. “They will never get back what they lost, but at least they are alive and well and will carry on.” Trying to stay positive, this “selfie” was taken in Edmonton by Nick Nelson with his wife Ashley and their son Cohen after they fled the Fort McMurray fire.

Car crash survivor tells students to avoid crossing the ‘stupid line’ By John Campbell Campbellford – Melissa Hague’s life was radically changed more than 30 years ago when a drunk driver crossed the “stupid line” and caused the car crash that left her paralyzed at the age of 12, and worse, killed her mother. “A lot of people think that what happened to me was an accident,” Hague told grades 11 and 12 students at Campbellford District High School, May 18. Melissa Hague was paralyzed for life when she was 12 in a car crash that also killed her mother. She urged Campbellford District High School students to take “smart risks” in enjoying life to the fullest while testing the limits of their abilities, and to recognize the consequences that come with making “really bad choices.” Her presentation was arranged by Safe Communities Northumberland County and Parachute Canada, with donations of $1,000 from Giant Tiger and $300 from Eagle Airfield.

It wasn’t a random act of fate. As is the case with most instances when someone is badly hurt or killed, her tragedy could have been prevented had someone not made “a really bad choice” to spend the day drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana and then getting behind the wheel, she said. Her hour-long No Regrets live presentation was about making the right choices because more than 700 Canadian youths die every year due to injuries that could have been prevented. “I’m not here to ask you to stop living your lives or stop taking risks, that in and of itself would be a different kind of paralysis,” but to take “calculated smart risks,” she said. “You can live great lives and not get hurt,” by following the five key messages she was there to make, on behalf of Safe Communities Northumberland County
and Parachute Canada: Buckle up. Look first. Wear the gear. Get trained. And drive sober. The “stupid line is that line of choice that separates a smart risk from a stupid risk,” Hague said, such as diving into water without first checking its depth or underwater hazards, or being “dared or pressured [by a friend] to do something that‘s beyond your ability.” “There are some things in life that can‘t be undone, and then you have to live with the fact” that you hurt yourself or someone else because of a bad decision. Her mother once told her that, “No matter what happens in life, we have to make the best of it,” and Hague has done so, although “sometimes it can get really hard.” If, by sharing her story with young people it leads to them making a good decision at a crucial time, it will mean what hap-
pened to her “wasn‘t wasted,” she said. Hague’s talk was the third in two days to high schools in Northumberland, the others taking place in Port Hope and Cobourg. CDHS will follow up this week with a special presentation in advance of the June 3 prom “to raise awareness of how to get home safely” that evening, said CDHS student retention counsellor Crista Hunt, who sits on the Northumberland Drug Action Committee. Grade 11 students McKayla Hart and Jordan Hawken were impressed by what Hague had to say. “It was really eye-opening just how bad something can get with a stupid little mistake,” Hawken said. Hart, a barrel racer, said it made her fully appreciate the risk of being injured by exercising a horse without wearing a helmet. Getting hurt “can happen any time,” she said.
Warkworth’s Art in the Park breaks all records Warkworth – It was a record-breaking weekend for the 6th Annual Warkworth Art in the Park Juried Show and Sale as 2,500 people visited the festival of artists and artisans who gathered at Mill Creek Park. A total of 32 tented sites showcased a variety of work by artists from as far away as Windsor and as close as Warkworth itself. Three food vendors and a lineup of talented musicians playing to the crowds made it a Victoria Day weekend to remember. From the Squishing Crickets, a student

Zootopia is part of Hastings’ celebrations By Bill Freeman Hastings – The critically acclaimed Disney animated comedy Zootopia is coming to the Hastings ballpark May 21, as part of Celebrate Hastings festivities. The day is a celebration marking the re-opening of the Hastings swing bridge and includes a number of traditional holiday weekend activities, as well as new events like the free family movie night in the ballpark featuring Zootopia, the highest grossing movie so far in 2016. Northumberland County’s Economic Development office is picking up the cost (over $600) of the new release movie. The celebrations actually begin Friday evening with a barbecue hosted by Legion
Branch 106 from 3 p.m. until 8 p.m., followed by a dance starting at 9 p.m. The Hastings Historical Society’s annual Midnight Madness “first night of fishing” contest will once again draw crowds to the Hastings bridge Friday night, where prizes and draws and midnight merriment ushers in the opening of the fishing season. Draw tickets are $2 each or three for $5 and are available at Ultimate Bait and the Water Lily. The contest begins at midnight. The Hastings Village Market runs from 8 a.m. until noon on Saturday, with the Hastings Waterfront Committee’s community yard sale in the adjacent ball park from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. The committee will also be serving breakfast and lunch from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m.
There will be a bouncy castle Trent Hills, Northumberland Seymour Community Founda- with volunteers and other conin the park from 11 a.m. until County, the Campbellford- tion and Aron Theatre along tributors. 3 p.m., a show by local reenactment ensemble Blades of Glory at 1 p.m., a children’s bike parade led by Batman at 3 p.m. as well as sidewalk chalk art and a sidewalk sale from noon until 8 p.m. There will be a children’s bike decoration station set up in the park so youth can add some flourishes to their bikes and wagons, etc. The Hastings Revitalization Association will be selling popcorn and glow decorations during the movie which begins at around 9 p.m. A short “official” ribbon cutting for the new swing bridge is scheduled for 2 p.m. Celebrate Hastings’ supporters include the HRA, Parks Canada, the Municipality of
It’s the Friends we meet along life’s road who help us appreciate the journey. With mixed emotions The Rutherford Family announces that Ron has had to retire and will no longer be the “mailman” for the RR #2 Havelock route. The Rutherford Family has been looking after this route since it first began back in the early 1900’s when Garnet Rutherford, who owned and operated Rutherford’s Dairy, was approached by the local postmaster and asked to deliver the mail in conjunction with his milk deliveries. Back then the mail and milk were delivered by horse and buggy. Garnet’s son, Fred Rutherford, took over the route in 1928 and after 50 years of service handed it over to his son, Ron, who has had the route for 38 years. Rochelle, Ron’s daughter, along with other family members, helped her grandfather on the route, and for the past 10 years has worked daily as the Ergonomic Assistant on the route. To all our customers and friends on RR #2 we thank you for the friendship over the years and for your many acts of kindness towards our family. The memories, adventures and stories will be cherished by us always. It has been both an honour and privilege to serve you for four generations. To the customers on the RR #3 Havelock Route, that Rochelle have been looking after for the past few weeks, it has been a pleasure to get to know so many of you and wish the association could have been longer. To all our colleagues and “Postie Family” at 6 George Street East, both past and present; please know how very special you all are to us. We appreciate your love and support. The “farewell” get-together was amazing. Thank you all so much. We were overwhelmed by your generosity and all the gifts. To our friends and family who attended and helped in organizing this, you will never know how much it meant to us. The memories of this, and of all of you, will continue to be the sunshine in our days. May 9, 2016 marked the first time in over 100 years that a member of the Rutherford Family was not in attendance at the Havelock Post Office to perform their mail route duties. Ironically, May 9th also marks the anniversary of the passing of Fred Rutherford 19 years ago and who rode with us, in spirit, each day on route. Rural mail will always be a part of our family legacy and we will always be proud of our history and long association with Canada’s postal system.
Happy Trails to all of you, until we meet again, Sincerely Ron and Rochelle Rutherford. 22

Ribbon cutting celebrates new swing bridge By Bill Freeman Hastings – It was a celebration worthy of a party, and with the snip of scissors, north and south Hastings were officially reunited. Officials from all levels of government, Parks Canada representatives, contractors and engineers and hundreds of residents and visitors celebrated the opening of the new Hastings Lock 18 swing bridge Saturday. “It’s the celebration we’ve all been waiting for,” Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan said. McMillan, Jewel Cunningham, director of Ontario Waterways at Parks Canada, NorthumberlandPeterborough South MP Kim Rudd and Deputy-Mayor Bob Crate cut the ribbon. “It really wasn’t a long time but it sure felt like it,” said Macmillan. “It’s all good news. That doesn’t mean businesses here didn’t suffer. They need a good summer now under their belts to get caught back up.” Macmillan noted that the municipality lobbied hard for a complete replacement and not a repair that would be good for only 20 years. The federal government finally opted for the more expensive replacement. “They eventually saw things our way.”
Macmillan acknowledged the work of previous MP Rick Norlock and his Conservative government. The additional expenditure was “a worthwhile investment,” he added. Rudd offered “huge kudos” to the community and people who completed the project. “I was amazed and proud of how the community rallied together and showed its true strength,” she said. “Neighbours, friends and family all supported each other. The last few months has shown such resilience and dedication in this community.” “Around town, you can just see people have that buoyancy and are just happy,” says Crate. “We’ll be celebrating for quite some time,” added Shannon Lawrence of the Hastings Revitalization Association which helped organize additional holiday events, including an outdoor movie. “Hastings has been so quiet it’s nice to have it bustling again,” said Kira Mees, Trent Hills community development officer. “It was horrible, but we wanted to keep a positive outlook. Now we can build on that,” said Montse Alvarado, who chronicled the closure with her camera. “Now we’ve got to Jewel Cunningham, director of Ontario Waterways at Parks Canada (left) joins Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan, Kim Rudd, MP for Northumberlandget people to stop.

Golden day for Knights DAIRY MONTH at COSSA Packed with 16 Essential Nutrients Whether there’s skim, 1%, 2%, homogenized or chocolate milk in your glass, you always get the same 16 essential nutrients. In addition to being fortified with vitamin D, milk is also a natural source of 15 essential nutrients. Whether it is skim, 1%, 2% or homogenized, chocolate or powdered, milk provides basically the same nutritious elements. However, the fat content changes, and for chocolate milk, the sugar content. As well, milk contains about 85% water, making it an effective thirst quencher. Here’s a brief look at what milk contains: Protein: Helps build and repair body tissues, including muscles and bones, and plays a role in the creation of antibodies which fight infection. Vitamin A: Aids bone and tooth development. Also aids in the maintenance of night vision and healthy skin. Vitamin B12: Aids in red blood cell formation. Vitamin B6: Factor in the conversion of food into energy and tissue formation, including bones. Riboflavin: Factor in the conversion of food into energy and tissue formation.
Niacin: Aids in normal growth, and is a factor in the conversion of food into energy and tissue formation, including bones. Thiamine: Releases energy from carbohydrate and aids normal growth. Pantothenic acid: Factor in the conversion of food into energy and tissue formation, including bones. Folate: Aids in red blood cell formation. Vitamin D: Enhances calcium and phosphorus absorption, on which strong bones and teeth depend. Calcium: Aids in the formation and maintenance of strong bones and healthy teeth.

Peterborough – It was a golden day for the Norwood District High Knights at the COSSA track and field championships at the Thomas A. Stewart Secondary School in Peterborough. Logan Hall and Mike Burtt came away with gold medals with Hall taking the midget boys 100 metre hurdles and Burtt capturing the senior long jump. Hall added to his medal haul with silver in midget triple jump. Hall sprinted to the hurdles title in a personal best time of 17.90, while Burtt took the
long jump with a personal best leap of 6.06 metres. Hall’s silver medal long jump was also a personal best of 10.70 metres. The Knights will have a strong contingent at this week’s Eastern Regional finals at Belleville’s Mary Ann Sills Park-Bruce Faulds Track Complex, where athletes will try to qualify for the OFSAA track and field championship at the University of Windsor. The top six athletes at COSSA moved on to the regionals. The top four at the Eastern Regionals qualify for OFSAA. Placing third was Jacob Ben-
nett in the senior shot put. Emma Beavis placed fourth in the junior discus and javelin. Fifth place finishes went to Bennett in the senior discus, Shelby Day in the midget discus, Hall in the midget high jump, Alexa Vanderhorst in the junior 200 metres and the junior girls’ 400 metre relay team of Alexa Vanderhorst, Ashton Gee, Shannon Scriver and Emma Beavis. Also advancing to the Eastern Regionals was Shannon Scriver who placed sixth in the junior discus.

ment could be re-used in the multi-purpose recreational facility that Trent Hills hopes to build in Campbellford, some day. Manager of infrastructure renewal and public works administration Scott White said there was “no reason” why it couldn‘t be done. New lighting is on the municipality’s 10-year forecast for capital projects involving recreational facilities, community services officer Peter Burnett said, but it has been a lower priority than other work that needed to be done. Trent Hills spent more than $100,000 last year to repair the arena’s roof and this year it has budgeted more than $70,000 for a new condenser. “If there was something we could do with the lights that would be fantastic,” he said. Council directed staff to investigate funding possibilities to help defray costs of install-
ing better lighting. Support for Alberta victims Trent Hills Fire Department will donate the money raised at the annual car wash, barbecue and toll bridge this Saturday to the Canadian Red Cross fund for victims of the wildfire in Fort McMurray and area. The event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., normally raises between $3,000 and $4,000 for the local disaster fund but Councillor Cathy Redden, a member of the committee that administers it, says this year’s goal is to raise $5,000 for the Alberta Fires Appeal, which the federal government will then match. “It seems appropriate this year,” she said, because “every day we hear more and more connections,” between what‘s happening out West and young people and family members from the community, who have gone out there to work
Everyone takes a dim view of poor lighting at Campbellford arena
Trent Hills – The lighting at the Campbellford arena is the same as it was when he helped install it 50 years ago, and it’s long overdue for an upgrade, says the president of the Campbellford Rebels. Trent Hills has “the best-lit arena east of Toronto” in Warkworth and “probably the worstlit arena” east of the city, “maybe even in the province,” Jim Peeling told council recently. Replacing the existing fixtures with LED lighting would cost tens of thousands of dollars, he estimated, but the municipality’s initial expense could be reduced with grants from various sources, and it would save up to $8,000 a year in lower energy consumption. Councillor Rosemary Kelleher-McLennan agreed “the lighting in the arena is terrible” and she asked if the new equip-

Motocross wows and wails in Madoc By Diane Sherman

John and Jean Maguire worked with a team of experts to perfect the Madoc track for beginning riders and professionals alike. The field has been improved to seat viewers on a high point over the track where the full impact of the race can be experienced. With support of the Madoc Agricultural Society (MAS), the track has continued to improve over the past five years, hosting the National series August 26-28, where the best come together for a show down. Though engines on all bikes are the lowest decibels possible and emisMMRS returned to Madoc fairgrounds, May 21-22. They will be back June 18 and the track is open to the public for a family day watching pro riders and sions meet environmental green little tykes honing their skills. Photo by Diane Sherman standards, the drone of engines still
echoes throughout the countryside, but just like the annual fair, the noise only lasts a couple of days and gives many an experience they will remember. Eric and Diane Brick said they just learned they could be spectators at the races. “We didn’t know it was open to the public,” Diane told fair board president Dave Chappelle. “I saw it on a Facebook post. It’s absolutely thrilling. We’ve had a great day.” The Bricks say they will bring their grandson next time. MMRS has work for locals, and advertise it on their website, www. mmrs.ca, along with a schedule of races and rider profiles. MAS also benefits from race days, serving food from their booth, and a full course dinner Saturday nights on race weekends. June 18, when MMRS returns for another meet, MAS hosts an ageof-majority video dance party in the arena, with Country 105 spinning the tunes. Funds from the dance are earmarked

More golds were awarded to Courtney LaPalm for her performance in Bronze Interpretive and to Cameron Cooke in Star 1. Additional medals included a silver in Intro Interpretive and 7th in Star 4 freeskate by Mackenzie Lapierre, silvers in Star 2 by Natasha Moore, Avery Scriver, Emily Parliament

Other placements included Maddie Henry, 4th in Star 5; Madison Myers, 5th in Juvenile and 4th in Bronze Interpretive; and Taylor Lapierre, 5th in Bronze Interpretive and 7th Star 5 freeskate. Several of the skaters were back in action at the Ursula Lemming Competition in Scarborough on April 22-24. Taylor LaPierre brought home a gold for her freeskate, Star 5 women and a bonze medal in Bronze Interpretive, while Madison Myers won two silver medals in Bronze Interpretive and Juvenile women freeskate. Another bronze medal went to Mackenzie LaPierre in Introductory In-

Rare event down on the farm – cow gives birth to triplets By John Campbell Brighton – A cow having twins is still a rare event but triplets – that was quite a shocker for Richard and Judy Rzezniczak. It happened May 16 when one of the purebred Hereford cows on their hobby farm near Orland gave birth to two males and a female. Judy was the first to learn what had happened. She had just put the couple’s two girls on the school bus shortly before 9 a.m. when she looked over to a far field and saw the expectant mother, Miss Zara, showing signs she was in labour. She raced back to the house to get binoculars and when she looked again, “there was a little calf at her feet,” Rzezniczak said. She phoned her husband at work in Grafton and he told her to make sure the two were okay. As she was walking toward them, she spied “another little white head” off to the left. “I thought, omigawd, twins, that’s awesome,” she said. But when she got closer, she saw yet another small, white head poking up,
making it three calves. So back to the house she ran and phoned her husband once more, starting off with “You’re not going to believe this ...” “He thought she was going to have twins because she was pretty big,” Rzezniczak said, so when he learned it was triplets, his reaction was familiar: “He said, ‘Omigawd.” He then told his boss he had to leave right away, and “just dropped everything and came home.” Which she’s glad he did, because “I didn’t know what I was doing,” Rzezniczak, a cashier at No Frill’s in Campbellford, said with a laugh. The two “were really concerned” because “they say the first 24 to 48 hours are critical,” but all three -- Dusty, Dexter and Dino -- survived, although there was briefly a small scare with one of the calves. A veterinarian was summoned, antibiotics administered and now “everything’s fine,” Rzezniczak said. “It’s so hard to believe she had three,” Richard said. Meet a rarity of nature, calf triplets -- Dusty, Dexter and Dino – and their mother, Miss Zara, who gave birth to them May 16 at Cedar Ridge Herefords on County Road 30 south of “Everyone I’ve talked to Orland. Photo by John Campbell are quite surprised.”

Had enough of Hydro One rates? Protest planned for Belleville June 4 By Stephen Petrick Belleville – Frustration over hydro costs in Ontario is expected to spill onto the streets on Saturday, June 4 as protests are being planned in several cities, including Belleville. A demonstration is being planned for 1 to 3 p.m. on the day and protesters are expected to walk along Bell Boulevard, from the Sidney to North Front Street intersections. Donna Milton, a Belleville resident involved in planninhttps:// legacy.metroland.com/
O WA / ? a e = I t e m & t = I P M . Note&a=New#g the demonstration, says it’s intended to be a peaceful demonstration. The protest was born out of a Facebook group called “Hydro One Enough is Enough.” The group has more than 26,000 members. While Milton lives in Belleville and says she gets her power through Veridian, she says she’s concerned about stories she hears from Hydro One customers in other places in the province. She’s heard stories of people who are paying up to $3,000 a month for hydro.
“People are deciding if they should pay for hydro or pay for food,” she said. “Some are walking away from their homes.” Part of the group’s message will be that hydro is an essential service and people shouldn’t have to even consider shutting their hydro off. Milton said she worries for people on life-support machines or people who need to refrigerate medications, but are at risk of losing power. The protesters’ messages will be directed at the ruling Liberal government, which has for several years has faced criticism for its
handling of hydro-related issues. The government is in the process of privatizing Hydro One, a move that’s been scrutinized by both the Progressive Conservatives and NDP. Opponents worry privatization could lead to higher rates, although the Liberals maintain the money from the sale can help the province improve public transit and other critical infrastructure. Milton says the group has been in contact with Hastings-Prince Edward Member of Provincial Parliament Todd Smith and has his
support. That’s not surprising given that Smith is the PC’s Associate Energy Critic. Milton said she’s most frustrated with the fact that hydro rates have caused concern in the province for a long time, but nothing seems to be getting done about it. “Letters keep going into these offices and nothing is getting done,” she said. Protests are planned in several other cities on that day, including Kingston and Brockville, Milton said.

Get to know your plants at June workshops GRAND OPENING When you stroll around your property, can you name the flowers and trees? If you need help identifying the plants, come to the workshop, Know Your Plants, on June 9 and 12, just north of Belleville. The Hastings Stewardship Council and the Local Wood Initiative are hosting these sessions to teach people how to identify plants on their own land. Many thanks to the Ontario Trillium Foundation for their funding support. Peter Fuller and David Smallwood, local specialists in plant identification, will lead the June 9 indoor session and the June 12 outdoor field trip, both at the Frink Centre near Belleville. On June 9, Peter Fuller, owner of Fuller Native and Rare Plants (located east of Belleville), will illustrate lots of native perennial flowers and other plants with PowerPoint photos and with real specimens from his nursery. He will also enlighten participants about understory plantings (plants that will grow under the canopy of taller trees) and invasive plants. The slide show will demonstrate habitat areas: from sun to shade, and from wet to dry areas. On the June 12 field trip, Peter and David
will lead a leisurely tour through the beautiful trails of the Frink Centre. Learn the names and features of many different plants and trees, including best habitat and growing conditions. Keys to identification will be emphasized. David Smallwood is a Forest Technician who has been involved in resource management in the private and public sectors for many years. He will present a brief history of local forests and the main identification points of native species common to the area. The importance of species from wildlife, environmental and utilisation (including First Nations use) perspectives will be highlighted as well. The Know Your Plants workshop takes place on two days: Thursday June 9 (6-9 p.m.) indoors, and Sunday June 12 (10 a.m. - 1 p.m.) outdoors. Both at the HR Frink Outdoor Education Centre at 381 Thrasher Road, Plainfield The cost for the two events is $20/person.

Police issue sketch of shooter suspect City police are seeking the public’s help in identifying a suspect in a January shooting in east end Belleville. On January 8, just after 8 p.m., officers were called to a home on O’Neill Drive in the city’s east end. Upon arrival, police located a man inside the home who had sustained multiple gunshot wounds. After paramedics had taken the man, who has not been identified by police but who was reportedly renting the home from the owners, officers of the Belleville Police Service with the assistance of the Ontario Provincial Police TRU team and OPP Canine Unit searched the area unsuccessfully. Several households in
the area were locked down for a short period of time during the search. Belleville police, in a press conference May 18, said the force has been “working collaboratively with our policing partnerships in this investigation, and as a result, we are seeking community support by releasing a composite drawing of a person of interest in this investigation.” Anyone with information about the identity of this male or regarding this investigation is asked to contact either the dedicated Tip Line at 613-966-5667 or Quinte Crimestoppers at 613-969-8477 or 1-800222-TIPS.
Police issued this sketch of the suspect in a Jan. 8 shooting in Belleville. Belleville Police image.

to work with Campbellford’s four schools in identifying movies that appeal to students and teachers, as well as “meet curriculum requirements,” Russ Christianson said. They will serve as “additional motivation” for learning. The theatre is not being used much during the day “and it would be great for the schools to utilize [it] as a community-owned asset.” The movies chosen would be “applicable and appropriate” for different subjects and different grades, Christianson said. “It makes it really easy for the teachers ... to provide enriched lessons for the students using the theatre as a way to help motivate” them. Admission would be $5 to cover the costs of the not-for-profit organization, now in its sixth year as a cooperative. “It’s really an interesting project,” that‘s going to be of long-term benefit to the community, foundation executive director Martha Murphy said. The service is expected to begin in
the fall, with six to eight movies being shown over the course of the school year, Christianson said. Aron is the first recipient of the 15th Anniversary Oak Tree Partnership Grant. St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church received the first 15th Anniversary Acorn Grant, $1,500, which it is using to acquire a commercial-grade barbecue. The foundation invested in 30 community projects this year, adding up to $272,659. Grant recipients included: Campbellford and District Curling and Racquet Club, $5,000, for weight room improvements; Community Care Northumberland, $5,000, for expansion of its wellness program for older adults and seniors; Hillcrest Public School, $5,000, for installation of two permanent soccer nets; Kent Public School, $5,000, for playground equipment; Campbellford Legion, $5,000, for the purchase of an energyefficient appliance; St. John’s United Church, $5,000,
for an LED sign to promote community events; Community Living Campbellford/Brighton, $4,859, for a tech lending library; Bridge Hospice, $5,000, for an outreach and recruitment project; VON, $3,500 for adult day program; Westben Arts Festival Theatre, $5,000, for renovation of technical booth; Campbellford and District High School, and $3,000 for a speaker series on motivating youth to take action. The foundation also handed out 11 Job Opportunity for Youth grants, with all but three being for $5,000. The money will pay for the hiring of co-ordinators, assistants and support staff. The largest grants were for the third instalments of money committed to the recreation re-development of Trent Hills’ Campbellford campus. The foundation paid out $50,000 from its community fund and $96,112 from the municipal fund.

Canada. Rooney was recently appointed by the federal government as Canada’s first Financial Literacy Leader and her mandate is to engage, collaborate and coordinate activities throughout Canada to strengthen financial literacy. Registration for the event takes place between 8:15 and 8:45 a.m., with speeches starting shortly after. Later that m o r n i n g , participants will
also be able to share ideas with Carol Coupland and Jim Drennan, two Loyalist College professors who teach financial literacy. There’s no cost to attend, but people are encouraged to RSVP to Jane Simpson at jane@ janesimpsonfinancial.ca Later in the afternoon, presentations will take place at Moira Secondary School and Nicholson Catholic College to educate students on financial issues. The day’s activities have been planned by Roli Tipper, of Tipper Financial Services Ltd., Jane Simpson, of Simpson Financial, and Jenny Woods, of Quinte Business Accounting. Tipper said he learned of Rooney’s work when he saw her speak at a conference in Toronto last November, a month that’s recognized as Financial Literacy Month in Canada. The two discussed holding a Financial Literacy Day in Belleville and after working out logistics a date was arranged. Tipper describes the topic of financial literacy as “the elephant in
the room,” meaning everyone knows it’s an important topic to discuss, but some are unsure how to broach the subject. In today’s economy – one where interest rates are low and the temptation to borrow money is huge – it’s crucial that people know how to manage their money effectively. “It’s a basic understanding of how money works; how you to best go about saving money and how to structure debt – because there’s good debt and bad debt,” he said, defining the topic. Tipper said it’s also important that people understand “the power of interest rates.” While in recent years interest rates have been low, financial experts are expecting that to change eventually. And people who don’t have a solid understanding of how debt levels accumulate upwards, could be in for a surprise when that happens. “There are adults making poor financial decision,” he said. “There could be a big sticker shock, two years, five years, eight years down the road.”
Quinte Conservation volunteer recognized for 20 years of service Quinte Conservation recently recognized local volunteer Randy Vincent for 20 year of service to the environmental agency. Communications Manager Jennifer MayAnderson said, “We appreciate Randy’s dedication to our organization. The commitment of volunteers like Randy helps us in our goal of creating a healthy watershed.

In the office, Randy has kept our publication
supplies in perfect order for many years.” Fragomeni added, “We all appreciate Randy’s help. He is meticulous. He puts care and attention into everything he does for us here at Quinte Conservation. Randy is always looking for new ways to assist us and his pleasant sense of humor brightens everyone’s day.” Quinte Conservation appreciates all its volunteers and thanks all who volunteer to ensure the success of the organization and the protection of our local watersheds.

Staff Sergeant/ Detachment Commander Peter Valiquette to retire in June By Margriet Kitchen Madoc – Ontario Provincial Police Staff Sergeant Peter Valiquette will be retiring from active duty at the beginning of June. The decision will end a 31-year policing career that started in South Porcupine in 1985, and led him to become Detachment Commander at Madoc/ Centre Hastings OPP in 2000. He took time out from another busy day on May 17, as the Madoc office hosted the Provincial OPP Special Olympics Torch Run. “I was born in the Ottawa area. Police work is something I wanted to do from childhood. After retirement I am going to continue in another type of job in this area, where my wife and I will continue to live. I have been here for 17 years, and right now I am the longest serving Detachment Commander in the province. It’s been both an honour and a pleasure to serve the communities but I have always been very fortunate to have excellent people working with me and I think it bodes well for the future of the organization for the
type of commitment we get from our people. They have always been so understanding of the direction of the organization and the things we need to do for our communities, and the things that are ultimately Retiring Centre Hastings/Madoc OPP Detachment Commander, S/Sgt.

Gordon, posted at Madoc, was killed on duty by a drunk driver in May of 1992. “There’s a good example for safe as possible, to make people something that’s been nice to do in these 17 years,” he said. “I’ve been privileged to help keep Andy’s memory alive.” Photo by Margriet Kitchen feel safe and know they are being served.

the Water Safety section on the Public Health’s Website at www. hpepublichealth.ca “Public Health staff collects a minimum of five water samples from each beach scheduled for monitoring that week,” said Andrew Landy, Senior Public Health Inspector. “These samples are sent to a provincial lab and tested for bacteria levels.” When bacterial counts exceed provincial guidelines, Public
Health staff will post warning signs at the beach advising that the water is unsafe for swimming. “Public Health also recommends that people do not swim at a public beach for up to 48 hours after a heavy rain because E. coli levels tend to be higher then,” said Landy. “High levels of bacteria in recreational water can cause skin, ears, eyes, nose and throat infections and stomach disorders.” These bathing beaches will
be tested once a week over the summer months: Centennial Park, Deseronto; Frankford Park, Trent River; Legion Park, Marmora, Crowe River; Tweed Park, Stoco Lake; Wellington Beach, Wellington Bay. These bathing beaches will be tested once every two weeks over the summer months: Centennial Park, Northport Bay of Quinte; Kingsford Conservation Area, Salmon River; Moria Lake Park, Moira Lake; Roblin Lake Park, Roblin Lake. These bathing beaches will be tested once a month in June, July and August: Booster Park Beach, Crowe Lake; Diamond Lake Beach, Diamond Lake; Echo Beach,
Papineau Lake; Fosters Lake Beach, Fosters Lake; Hinterland Beach, Kaminiskeg Lake; L’Amable Lake Dam, L’Amable Lake; Riverside Park, York River; Steenburgh Lake; Wollaston Lake Beach, Wollaston Lake. The public can also take steps to reduce the chances of these beaches being closed. “We all need to do our part to improve water quality,” said Landy. He suggests the following: - Upgrade septic systems and keep them in good working order. - Pet owners should observe local ‘stoop & scoop’ bylaws - Detach eaves troughs from sewers so they discharge onto lawns. This reduces the amount of rainwater going directly into sewers. - Ensure that washroom additions to your home are connected properly to the sanitary sewers. - Fence livestock away from streams and provide them with alternate water sources. - Ensure that run-off from feedlots and manure piles are properly contained.

TRAVEL
A Spectacular Glacier Cruise in Alaska’s Prince William Sound
By John M. Smith When my wife and I took the Holland America cruise and land tour package from Vancouver into Alaska and the Yukon, our tour ended in Anchorage. We’d already decided that we’d spend some extra time in this fascinating destination before flying back home, so we set up a day tour to nearby Prince William Sound. After all, it’s known for its calm waters, high concentration of glaciers, its deep carved fjords, and its abundance of wildlife. This seemed to be a perfect way for us to spend a day – and it was! We didn’t have a car here, so we were able to arrange a “Cruise and Rail Transportation Package”. We boarded the Discovery Glacier Train in Anchorage at 9:45 am, and it took us to Whittier. We boarded the Kenai Star for our 4.5 hour cruise with Major Marine Tours, and then we took the train back to Anchorage that evening, arriving at about 9:15 pm. It made for a rather long, full day, but it was well worth it for the memories. Perhaps surprisingly, we discovered that the train trip itself was part of the adventure, for we passed magnificent coastal views of Turnagain Arm as we departed Anchorage. After all, we were traversing an area known for
having the second highest tides in the world (the highest are in Canada’s very own Bay of Fundy), and the vast mud flats at low tide, adorned by a plethora of waterfowl, makes for quite a scene. We also encountered immense forests, towering waterfalls, and spectacular glaciers along this route. Just prior to reaching our destination of Whittier, we went through the longest combined rail-highway use tunnel of them all, the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel. This was particularly unique, for it’s used by both trains and motor vehicles, but not at the same time. This toll tunnel has scheduled times for the motor vehicle traffic, so this traffic has to simply stop and wait while our train goes through. Upon arrival in Whittier, we soon boarded our cruise ship for our exploration of Prince William Sound. One of the wonderful aspects of this particular area, a “claim to fame” if you will, is that it’s so calm and protected here that there’s a “no seasickness” guarantee. We simply glided along over the smooth water and enjoyed the scenery. We were surrounded by pieces of floating ice, but the ride itself was very gentle. Indeed, our only real problem was that it was an overcast day, and there was even some rain. We worried that this would hurt our photo ops, but
Viewing a waterfall and a kittiwake rookery on our cruise.
our captain announced that this type of day actually often was the best kind of day for witnessing a calving, where chunks of ancient glacial ice suddenly break off and crash into the water. It was only a few minutes later, while next to a glacier, that we, indeed, wit-
nessed this very phenomenon! What a sight! There was a sudden loud noise, followed by an actual gigantic calving! It was almost as if this scene was following a Hollywood script, for first came the captain’s suggestion and then came this incredible experience!

excursion, but our crew even grabbed chunks of the floating ice directly out of Prince William Sound for us. We could then view and even taste this melting ice. Now that’s a cold, refreshing drink! Complimentary binoculars were also available on board, for many of us were also on the lookout for wildlife, including bald eagles, whales, sea otters, and harbor seals. Our biggest find of the day on this particular trip was of a very large kittiwake rookery, for thousands of these black-legged birds were flying and nesting along the rocky cliffs. We also visited Hidden Falls, which is tucked away around a corner in Prince William Sound, and this was another great photo op. We were even close enough to feel the mist from this enormous waterfall that’s located along the rugged coastline. Yet another important part of this 4.5 hour cruise is the inclusion of an allyou-can-eat buffet style dinner of Alaska salmon and prime rib. It’s quite a feast! We eventually completed our exploration of Prince William Sound and returned to Whittier, where we again boarded the train and returned to Anchorage. We concluded that our day trip by train and our Prince William Sound Glacier Cruise had been a very worthwhile excursion and a great adventure!

The Good Earth:
Garden rotation and fresh for all
Dan Clost Gentle Reader, this week’s column is, perhaps, a titch late if you’re languishing in the southern banana belt; if you’re north of 7, then we’re spot on. We’re talking about vegetable gardens and crop rotation. Several paragraphs were originally penned in 1998 and remain relevant today. However, there are two little bits of explanation required. We are now familiar with nematodes as “beneficial” grub seeking destroyers and have likely forgotten that there are eleventy-eleven gazillion types of nematodes, some of which can wreak havoc in an apple orchard, an onion field and your vegetable garden. The second change is that we are not as accustomed to managing our fertilizers/nutrients as we once were. We buy fertilizer based on the picture on the container; we even buy soil mixes the same way. It works but it is a bit of an expensive way to go and it allows the “gardener” to get by without really understanding what
the plant needs and how best to meet those needs. Crop rotation is the growing of two or more crops in a regular sequence on the same land over many years. This is something that good farmers do. The reasons are many: care of soil structure, best use of nutrients, reduction in soil borne diseases, prevention of nematodes, breaking weed cycles, and a host of other reasons. The good farmers do it because they are responsible stewards of the land and, from a purely economic perspective, it works. A good gardener can do it too. It doesn=t matter how large a vegetable plot you have; in fact, it doesn=t matter if you grow your vegetables in different locations instead of one main garden. Here is the Langenberg Rotation for vegetable crops. Bill Langenberg was the market-garden organics expert at the University of Guelph. He divided vegetables into four categories: 1) fruit crops
such as potatoes, tomatoes, egg plants, sweet corn and peppers, 2) legumes such as peas and beans, 3) root crops such as beets, parsnips, onions, carrots, and glads; and, 4) leafy crops such as cabbage and head lettuce. Here=s how to do it: divide your garden, no matter its size or actual location- some folks will plant things like carrots in a perennial bed because the foliage is worthyinto the four sections and plant the appropriate crop. The following year, group one plants get moved to the group two patch of ground, group two moves to group three and so on. Four years later, group one plants will have returned to their starting point. With this rotation, soil amendments can be tailored to the needs of each group resulting in less cost of materials and more efficient use by the plants. In general, group one can take compost and blood meal, group two accepts lime if the soil is
highly acid, group three will benefit from blood meal and bone meal. Lastly, group four crops will welcome barnyard manure. Organic gardeners looking for acceptable forms of potassium and magnesium may try sulfate of potash magnesium. The common name is APatentkali@ and that is, admittedly, a phonetic representation of the Dutch word. Whilst we’re busy moving our crops about, try to orient the rows north to south whenever possible. Leaves will dry more quickly l e s s e n i n g chances of associated diseases and there will be less shading. End Notes: Fresh For All is a great initiative where we all can help grow food for those
in need. Simply plant an extra row and, when harvest time comes, bring your bounty into the many conveniently located drop-off points. If you are reading this column, no matter which edition, there will be a drop-off point near you, from Coe Hill to Picton. There are many different organizations spearheading this initiative in their own region but if you go to www. freshforall.ca or simply contact your local food bank, you’ll soon find the information you need.
