Marmora — Admitting she started on her quest late in life, Christina Outingdyke-Ellis is kicking and punching her way to the top of her sport as she heads to South Africa to compete with the Canadian Amateur Kick Boxing Women’s team in the Intercontinental Team Championship in Johannesburg, South Africa. Leaving June 23 and returning August 6, this 37-year-old mother of three, who grew up in Warkworth, has plenty of wins under her belt already. She was 33 when she started in the sport and got more serious two years later when she began to compete. “Kick-boxing is one of the highest competitive level sports you will ever compete in,” she told the Central Hastings News. “It’s a sport based on a point system involving sportsmanship, technique and force.” For Outingdyke-Ellis, who now coaches her 12-year-old daughter Brooke, “It started out as self-defence ... I wanted to learn how to defend myself better for me and my daughter. “That led to my interest in kickboxing and muay Thai or Thai boxing which is a combat sport of Thailand. Muay Thai is the art of eight limbs, you can use elbows, knees and can kick and punch,” she said. The Canadian national amateur kick-boxing team she is competing with has been training since March. “There are eight of us on the team.” Some of the other athletes are from

“I had a vision board when I first started. I wanted to be a national Canadian champion, provincial champion, a world champion, an international champion ... I am on my way,” she concluded.
When she returns OutingdykeEllis will rejoin Robbie Scott as his new business partner. Scott has been coaching her for years and has a kickboxing club in Stirling called RAD on Frankford Road.

Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Fire & Emergency Services Have a safe and fun summer
Cottage Fire Safety – Tip Sheet To minimize the risk of fire and burn injury, the fire service recommends the following cottage fire safety tips: Install smoke alarms on every storey and outside all sleeping areas. It’s the law for all Ontario homes, cottages, cabins and seasonal homes to have working smoke alarms on every storey and outside all sleeping areas. • Test smoke alarms at least monthly or each time you return to the cottage. Pack a new smoke alarm and extra smoke alarm batteries in case they need replacement. • Install and ensure carbon monoxide alarms in your cottage if it has a fuel-burning appliance. • Develop and practice a home fire escape plan to ensure everyone knows what to do if the smoke alarm sounds. • Know the telephone number for the local fire department and your cottage’s emergency sign number, in case of emergency. • Clean barbecues before using them. Keep an eye on lit barbecues and ensure all combustibles, as well as children and pets are kept well away from them. Fires can happen when barbecues are left unattended. • Keep barbecue lighters and matches out of sight and reach of children. • Remember to bring a flashlight with extra batteries. • Check heating appliances and chimneys before using them. • Check with your local fire department, to determine whether open air burning is permitted before having a campfire or burning brush. If open burning is allowed, fires should be built on bare soil or on exposed rock. Remove leaves and twigs from around the fire to keep it from spreading. Always keep a bucket of water, sand, or even a shovel close by and supervise the fire at all times. • If you must smoke, do so outside. Keep a large can with water nearby so cigarette butts can be safely discarded. If you drink, do so responsibly. Tobacco use and excessive alcohol consumption are contributing factors in many fires and can lead to serious injuries. • Burn candles in sturdy candle holders that will not tip and are covered with a glass shade. When you go out, blow out!
BY BILL FREEMAN
Norwood — The Asphodel-Norwood economic development and beautification committee hopes the new “Butterfly Garden” sign they’ve installed at the Norwood Mill Pond encourages visitors to stop and take a look around. “I definitely think it will attract people and that is what we’re hoping to do,” says committee member Jennifer Holden. Once separate committees, the township’s beautification and economic development committees have now merged pooling ideas and resources. Wearing their beautification hat, the committee has planted some native bushes and plants specifically to attract pollinators in an effort to help boost the fortunes of butterflies and bees, key pollinators whose populations have decreased significantly in recent years. The news about the diminished populations was enough to encourage the committee to plant four bushes in each corner of their butterfly garden at the upper pond, said committee co-chair Doreen Allen-Bell. Allen-Bell says they hope to have some signs installed that provide a little more information about the important role pollinators play in crop and food production and why efforts to sustain their populations should be supported. Forty-four per cent of bee colonies collapsed in the United States last
year alone and the alarm is understandable because pollinators are necessary in the reproduction of over 85 per cent of the world’s flowering plants, including two-thirds of global crop species. In North America bees are responsible for over 70 per cent of plant pollination. “It’s probably going to be an ongoing project,” said Allen-Bell. “We have some seeds to plant now that the frost is out of the ground and hopefully they won’t be washed away.” The signage is not just for the butterfly garden, she adds. “We want to do something to promote a different aspect of the township and try to attract people to use the area,” said Holden. The upper mill pond off Highway 7 includes a picnic shelter and benches and an excellent view of the pond where the Village of Norwood planted its roots; there’s also a short trail from the shelter to the Railside Rest near County Rod 40. The long-range plan of the township’s Mill Pond committee is to develop a trail system around the pond and surrounding conservation area. “Eventually it will get tied to the trails around the mill pond,” said Allen-Bell. Holden says the sign made by Dave Wooland of 1st Impressions in Norwood is “cohesive” with the township’s public signage. Wooland next township sign will be one at Asphodel Heights Park near Hastings.
Stirling Council passes 2017 budget: tax rate increase of 1.33% BY TERRY MCNAMEE
Stirling - Residents of Stirling-Rawdon are looking at a tax increase this year after council passed its 2017 budget on Monday, June 5. The tax rate in 2016 was 1.4231 per cent, compared to 1.4420 per cent for 2017, which is an increase of 1.33 per cent. The tax levy overall is broken down as follows: 12 per cent to education, 20 per cent to Hastings County and 68 per cent to the Township of Stirling-Rawdon. Residential owners will be paying an increase of 2.4 per cent for the Township’s portion, based on an assessment of $213,814. After revenues have been factored in, it will cost about $5.83-million to run the municipality this year. This is offset by about $1.84-million in provincial grants, leaving just under $4-million to be covered by taxation. The two biggest costs are transportation at $2.275-million (39.02 per cent of the budget) and $1.867-million (32.02 per cent) for policing. General government cost are just under

11 per cent and fire gets just under seven per cent. The rest of the money goes to waste management (3.17), recreation (2.95), the library (2.48), other protection (1.86) and health services (0.64). There are other costs, which are specific to each ward, depending on services provided (such as street lights). “Basically, this is just a maintenance budget,” Mayor Rodney Cooney said. He said the only major capital project planned is the creation of the dog park, which he said has been on the books for three or four years. Money for that comes from Recreation and Parks reserves, which in turn are generated by development fees. These can only be used for parks or recreation and not transferred over to other departments for other uses. The addition of a carbon tax has increased the cost of fuel for township vehicles by eight cents a litre, which had to be factored in to the budget, the mayor noted.

Belleville – Madoc Township Public School may yet be spared closure. At the Monday meeting of the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board’s Student Enrolment/School Capacity Committee audience members applauded an announcement at the committee’s recommendation to not close Madoc Township Public School (MTPS). It had been initially proposed – and widely believed by resident in the Madoc area to be a done deal – that the board would move for the closure of MTPS and an amalgamation with Madoc Public School (MPS) at the Madoc Public School site by this September. The new plan would see moving Grade 7 and Grade 8 students to MTPS from MPS. As a result, Madoc Township would then be run as a kindergarten to Grade 8 school. The decision hinges on approval of
funding from the Ministry of Education. The committee also outlined a plan to consolidate Centre Hastings Secondary School (CHSS), MPS and MTPS in order to build a new Kindergarten to Grade 12 school in the Madoc are “This looks to the future and the possibility of consolidation into a 21st century structure serving that community,” said trustee Dave Patterson. Parents and supporters of keeping MTPS open bemoaned a loss of adequate green space for students as well as the benefits of having a rural school in a truly rural area for kids in the region. Director of Education Mandy SaveryWhiteway reminded all those in attendance no final decisions will be made on any cloures or amalgamations until a special meeting at the board office in Belleville June 19.
Tweed Municipal Council - Briefs BY LYNN MARRIOTT
Tweed – At their May 23 regular meeting, Tweed Municipal Council passed their 2017 budget. National municipal manager, Chris Carrier of Fire Marque spoke to Council. The company “recovers money from insurance companies for some fire calls.” This is money on private polices that residents do not claim but usually is not claimed by the municipality either. The fee is 30% of the recovered money - otherwise there is no charge. “I believe this is a win- win situation,” said Mayor Jo-Anne Albert. Tweed’s 2017 summer students are: Nolan Kelly and Matthew Langevin - public works; Aaron Purvis and Darien Ahola parks and Allie Dafoe at the jailhouse. Metcalf Street will close on July 22, for the Farm to Table event. Metcalf residents attend free. Council granted the Vanderwater / Sherry Road 1.2 acre rural residential lot severance. The retained 5.2 acres is zoned special waterfront residential. Arena LED lighting will be installed by GE Electric costing $38,495. The Elvis Festival will receive $500 for their window contest. The Marble Arts Centre will get flower planters. Leclair Forestry will remove a house, for $15,500, to clear the area for a third waste lagoon.
Tweed street sweeping began in May. The pool will be open in June. Marlbank received a $10,000 grant for new playground equipment. Marlbank roads received 18 tonnes of gravel and calcium chloride treatments. Council revisited the Farm 911/The Emily Project advocating additional 911 signs on all farm and large property entrances. The signs will avoid a loss of life by supplying exact locations to emergency vehicles. Stoco Fen Provincial Park requested ownership of two sections of road allowance, between Lots 18 and 19 Conc. 7 and Lots 21 and 22 Conc. 7, between Conc. 6 and 7. Council did not grant the request. Waste Site employees will hand out notices to residents with unsecured garbage, explaining Highway Traffic fines. Council supported a moratorium on rural school closures. It states, “The Accommodation Review process in not reflective of the reality of rural school and community life. Council agreed Ontario Hydro should “halt all wind power approvals in unwilling host communities.” New times for Councils meeting are the second Wed at 9 a.m. and the fourth Tues at 5 p.m. In July and December there will be one evening meeting. Upcoming meetings are June 14 - 9 a.m. in Tweed and June 27 - 5 p.m. in Marlbank.

Get rocking Hastings! Solid way to celebrate Canada 150 BY BILL FREEMAN
Hastings — Get rocking Hastings! Rocks, paint and imagination are they key ingredients in the Hastings Rocks campaign, a simple, quirky way of celebrating the village. “It’s to bring the community together, to unite them and to have a fun activity,” says Lynn Rogers who launched the Hastings Rocks campaign along with former Hastings Waterfront Festival chair Erin Farley. Rogers has opened a Hastings Rocks Facebook to promote the campaign. The duo discovered the idea during a “Small Town Cool” webinar where they saw how a similar campaign succeeded in two American communities. It has “taken off ” from there, says Rogers. The concept is simple: people, groups, organizations paint rocks in a multitude of ways, add a Facebook page tag on the back and then “hide” them in accessible locations around town; people who find the rocks take a photo then post it to the Hastings Rocks Facebook page. “If the rock speaks to them and they really like the rock they can keep it but they have to replace it with another rock. That’s the only stipula- Erin Farley and Lynn Rogers hope people will have some fun with the Hastings Rocks campaign. Bill Freeman/Metroland tion,” says Rogers. The Hastings Rocks campaign will round with whatever someone wants ple of days before Canada Day and accessible locations so children and start with a Canada Day/Canada 150 to paint on their rock, Rogers says. then hunt for them.” seniors can easily participate, she theme and then will carry on year“Go out and hide the rocks a couThey should be hidden in easily adds.
“It is so simple but a huge involvement on social media really promoted it,” Rogers said of the American craze. “It had nothing to do with Canada Day until we put that twist on it. You can tie it in with any theme you want. We just thought we’d start with a Canada Day theme and whatever transpires after that people can run with it.” It’s a simple all-ages activity, says Rogers who has already spoken to the Early Years Centre. “Everybody’s got a little artist part of them. We’re just suggesting people take it and run with it. Have a rock painting party, an afternoon with kids. It seems to have gone over well so far. We thought it would be a fun event.”

OPINION
The Fifty-Year War As Israeli columnist Gideon Levy wrote recently in the daily Haaretz: “In retrospect, it should be called the FiftyYear War, not the Six-Day War. And judging by the political situation, its life appears Gwynne Dyer expectancy endless.” This week (5-10 June) is the 50th anniversary of the brief war in 1967 that added the Old City of Jerusalem, the West Bank, the Golan Heights and the Gaza Strip to the Israeli state, increasing the area ruled by Israel by onethird and the population under its control by more than a third. But the problem was and remains that all that new population was Arabs. Palestinians, to be precise. No Israeli Jew actually wanted all those extra Arabs, but it turned out that quite a few of them did want the extra land. They hadn’t thought about it much before 1967, because ever since the Independence War in 1948 Israelis had seen themselves as a small, beleaguered people at constant risk of being “driven into the sea” by the Arabs. But now they knew that they were strong enough to keep the land if they wanted to. The Arab armies were poorly trained and badly led, and they served governments so incompetent that, despite an overall ten-toone Arab superiority in population, Israeli troops actually outnumbered Arab soldiers on the battlefield in 1967 (and in every subsequent war). Israel emerged from the SixDay War as the dwarf superpower of the Middle East, unbeatable by any combination of Arab states. And the Arabs knew it. That was an intoxicating notion for Israelis, and the new territories actually added to their security by giving them some “strategic depth”. (Before they captured the West Bank, Israel was only 14 km wide at its narrowest point.) Moreover, the West Bank had been part of historic Israel 2,000 years ago, and many Israelis saw it as land sacred to the Jews. There were many in Israel – they were even the majority at various points between 1975 and 1995 – who wanted to make peace with the country’s other Arab neighbours by giving them back the rest of the conquered territories. But most of those lands had been part of historic Israel, and returning them to Arab control would bring back the dangerously close old borders as well.

So Jews started settling throughout the conquered lands with tacit and later open government support, to the utter dismay of the Palestinians who saw their future state disappearing before their eyes, and the Fifty-Year War began. It has mostly been a fairly low-key event, with only dozens or hundreds killed each year, but it is unrivalled in its ability to stymie all attempts at a peaceful settlement. Only three months after the 1967 war ended Amos Oz, later to become one of Israel’s most celebrated writers, wrote: “We are condemned now to rule people who do not want to be ruled by us. I have fears about the kind of seeds we will sow in the near future in the hearts of the occupied. Even more, I have fears about the seed that will be planted in the hearts of the occupiers.” How right he was. The newspaper he wrote that in, Davar, died long ago. The Labour Party it supported, which dominated Israeli politics for the first three decades after independence, is now a mere shadow of its former self. Instead, the political high ground is held by ultra-nationalist, hardright parties that are in thrall to the halfmillion-strong Jewish “settler” population in the occupied Palestinian territories. Most Israelis want to keep these lands, including some extremists who would kill or die to keep them (like Yigal Amir, who in 1995 murdered Yitzhak Rabin, the last Israeli prime minister to enter into serious negotiations with the Palestinians). No Israelis want to include the Palestinians in these territories into Israel as citizens. If they ever did, half the voters in the next election would be Arabs, and Israel would no longer be a “Jewish state”. But they can’t get rid of those Palestinians either without committing a horrendous crime. So they are stuck, and Israeli politics has been paralysed for the past twenty years. The man who has led Israel for more than half that time, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, epitomises that paralysis. He says he wants peace, and no doubt he really does – but he also wants to keep the land, or at least most of it, and his coalition government would collapse if he ever seriously considered giving it back. The great majority of Jewish Israelis, living in “old” Israel within the pre-1967 borders, rarely focus on this question, but they would be just as divided and paralysed if they ever had to answer it. This is not the end of the Fifty-Year War. It may just be the mid-point in the Hundred-Year War.

Intimidation won’t silence local media EDITOR’S NOTE: This editorial has been shared by the Brampton Guardian and is running in all Metroland East newspapers. A group of disgruntled city councillors in Brampton seem to be confusing freedom of the press with freedom from the press. Angry with recent coverage by the local newspaper, some councillors are proposing a motion to scrutinize the media’s questioning of elected officials. It’s a thinly veiled attempt to intimidate reporters. The motion calls for all media inquiries to be posted on the city website along with provided responses. Further, councillors want future meeting agendas to include time to respond to media coverage. Meanwhile, at least one member of Brampton council has also taken to Twitter, suggesting the local paper isn’t providing “real news.” If it sounds reminiscent of the antics of President Donald Trump and his staff, that’s because there’s a strong and troubling parallel. This is all in reaction to assertive reporting that is critical of the city’s leadership. Councillors say they have put the press on notice. Such a statement demonstrates a blatant disregard for, or ignorance of, the checks and balances already strongly entrenched in the Canadian media system. Accountability starts with the news outlet itself. Complaints can be made directly to a journalist, editor, or publisher. If the response is unsatisfactory, individuals can contact the press council. The National NewsMedia Council deals with matters concerning fairness of coverage, relevance, balance and accuracy. Its members (including this newspaper) abide by its decisions. It’s a free and open process for the public. When media make a mistake, we own it
very publicly. That’s not something everyone can say. And there is the law. Canada has very strict libel laws. These laws protect the reputation of individuals and organizations from false and derogatory remarks. Media are bound by these laws. There have been no formal complaints made regarding recent coverage of Brampton. Instead, this is about a group of councillors lashing out because they are upset with what strong local reporting has unearthed. Strong, independent reporting on behalf of the public has led to truthful and unflattering accounts of what has been transpiring at city hall. These councillors forget that media are not accountable to elected officials. Media are accountable to the public, the same group whose money these councillors are spending. Claiming to put the press on notice is a poorly disguised attack on the fundamental freedoms laid out in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which includes freedom of the press. Ultimately this is about control. Councillors are trying to stifle critical voices and control our free, independent and responsible media. That’s a scary development. Any attempt by elected officials to limit the free flow of information is an attack on the basic democratic principles our society upholds. It won’t work. Metroland is putting Brampton’s elected officials on notice: Media will not be intimidated by these thinly disguised bullying tactics.

Warkworth hospice sees admissions, referrals nearly double BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Campbellford – The Bridge Hospice had “much to celebrate” the past year, “having achieved stable health care funding for now and the future,” outgoing board chair Jill Hutcheon said at the organization’s annual general meeting held June 7 at the Community Resource Centre. The funding stability was made possible with the government of Ontario committing up to $315,000 a year to support the hospice’s three palliative care beds. The Ministry of Health and LongTerm Care’s investment is augmented by funding for personal support workers and nurses the Warkworth hospice receives through a five-year partnership with Saint Elizabeth Community Enterprise that’s now in its second year. The hospice will be “closely monitoring” its health care funding during the three years remaining in its agreement with Saint Elizabeth, Hutcheon said. “We want to be assured that the government of Ontario will fully fund and cover our health care needs.” Those needs account for 60 per cent of The Bridge’s overall costs –$427,993 for the fiscal year that ended March 31 – leaving it with 40 per cent to fund on its own, for ongoing

operating and capital expenses, which it’s able to do through donations, grants and fundraising efforts. Hutcheon said board activities have been restructured to focus “on the critical issue of fund development ... We still need additional financial support and therefore we continue to look to the community for (that) support.”
Director of clinical services and operations Kerri-Anne Wilson reported the hospice has supported 107 individuals “with their end of life journey” since it opened in 2013, and that admissions and referrals “have nearly doubled” since it partnered with Saint Elizabeth, “which is fantastic.” Volunteers remain critical to the
Bridge’s operations, filling a number of roles, including resident care, office support, outreach, fundraising, marketing, and special events. From June 2013 through March 31, 2017, they had contributed more than 97,500 hours. If they had been paid $10 an hour, the cost would have been close to a million dollars; “look at all the fundraising we’d have to do for that,” treasurer Gerry Hutcheon pointed out. He said the hospice’s finances are in good shape, having recorded an surplus of $78,283 over expenses, with the injection of ministry funding. He added the hospice will “need to be focused on vigorous short- and long-term fund development initiatives” to finance operating costs not covered by health care funding, as the services residents and their families receive are provided for free. “They say that a ‘good death’ is a gift to those left behind,” Wilson said in a statement released at the meeting. “Our hospice helps our residents to live each moment in peace and comfort until their very last breath, and surrounds their families with care and compassion. While it remains a most difficult time for all, a good death here at The Bridge Hospice provides loved ones with an enduring source of consolation.” She told the meeting the cards,
emails, chocolate and thank you letters the hospice receives “each and every day speak to the enormous impact that our staff and volunteers ... have on each and every person that comes through our door.” Hux new chair of board Dr. Jan Hux is the new chair of The Bridge Hospice board of directors, The board welcomed three new members: Dr. Michael Kaufmann, the founding medical director of the Physician Health Program of the Ontario Medical Association; Carrie Cleverdon, a nurse practitioner at the Peterborough Regional Health Centre; and Dave Burnham, a former president of the Campbellford curling club. A few hospice facts: -82 per cent of hospice residents are 65 and older -75 per cent have been diagnosed with cancer -57 per cent are from Northumberland County (with 44 per cent of them being residents of Trent Hills, and 33 per cent from Brighton) - about 38 per cent of its revenue comes from donations, 30 per cent from in memoriam donations, and 28 per cent from hospice and third party special events; the balance is in the form of grants

Drum roll for high school jazz band fundraiser
Stirling School greenhouse will help the Food Bank
Campbellford — Drum roll! Patient care at Campbellford Memorial Hospital is benefitting thanks to proceeds from the Campbellford District High School’s (CDHS) fundraising concert by the jazz band which took place at Stirling Festival Theater. The concert on May 6 featured the talented CDHS students, under the guidance of their music teacher Dave Noble and special guest Alysha Brilla. The funds donated will be used for high priority medical equipment. The CDHS jazz band has raised more than $20,000 for their community hospital with their performances.
A well deserved drum roll celebrated the $20,000 donation made to Campellford Memorial Hospital Foundation and accepted by Executive Director John Russell, who was all smiles as he joined Dave Noble, left, CDHS music teacher and Stirling Festival Theatre Artistic Director David Vanderlip for the cheque presentation.Photo submitted

Stirling - In a school where students are taught to care for their community, the Grade 3 students at Stirling Public School found a unique way to do so. They built a greenhouse. Teacher Marcie O’Shea said the 87 students began the project at the end of September. They spent months designing, learning what supplies were needed, deciding what to plant and learning about keeping plants healthy. Guest speakers were brought in to show them different designs for greenhouses and how to grow plants. The children designed a small rectangular building made of PVC pipe and covered in heavy plastic. Students from Bayside Secondary School helped with the actual construction of the building. The children also had to learn about different soils for growing different crops and how to design appropriate
planting boxes. They planted seedlings indoors so the plants would be ready for transplanting once the greenhouse was finished. To pay for everything, the classes held fundraisers and wrote letters to area businesses asking for donations of money or materials, resulting in much of the material being donated. “There were over 20 community sponsors,” O’Shea said. On Wednesday, June 12, the students gathered outside for the ribbon-cutting to officially open the Stirling Public School Roots Greenhouse, a name proposed by Griffen Rutledge. A design contest is underway to create a winning logo. While this was a Grade 3 project, it is not just for them. “The greenhouse is totally open to any class that wants to use it for learning,” O’Shea said. “Definitely from year to year, Grade 3s will use it as part of their curriculum.” The greenhouse will continue being cared for over the summer break by a greenhouse maintenance committee of students and parents, who will collect the produce for donation to the Stirling Food Bank. Students hope the greenhouse will continue producing well into November. O’Shea said the project was not just a learning experience for the students, as it also created partnerships within the community. “It was a long project, but well worth it in the end,” she said.

Canadian heavyweight boxing champion returns home to Madoc BY LYNN MARRIOTT
Madoc — Dillon “Big Country” Carman, also known as Mr. Canada, is the reigning Canadian heavy weight boxing champion. A Madoc native, Carman returned home last weekend and held a meet and greet to benefit the local food bank. On June 10, at the Madoc Barley Pub and Eatery, Carman invited fans to say hello, take selfies with the champion and gave out autographed photographs in exchange for non-perishable food items and cash. Fans, friends, family and neighbours kept the champion chatting for four hours on Saturday night. “Some travelled from Toronto, and a bus load of ladies came from Ottawa,” said Carman’s mother, Sherri Oswald. “It was a steady stream visitors and he collected $600 in cash and another $500 in canned goods,” she said. “I always stressed in my house to give back to your community,” she added. Carman claims his grit to
better himself was fostered by his mother’s example, who doggedly recovered from a broken back at the age of 16. His “won’t back down” attitude won him the 1999 All Ontario chess championship at 13 years old and at 28, in 2014, he became the Canadian heavy weight boxing champion, a title he has defended to this day. In 2015, Carman’s grit took him into the Dragon’s Den TV show. Acting as his own manger, and with “the dream to become world heavy weight champion,” he got a deal with three dragons. In exchange for $50,000 and promotional support, he gave them five per cent of his career earnings. This year, Carman entered the Big Brother Canada house — as a contestant. Although ousted before the final episode, the producers invited him back as a judge. This coming fall, Carman will fight for the Commonwealth heavy weight title in the United Kingdom. His competitor will be chosen at the result of a fight this month. “When he wins, he will

be the first Canadian to hold the Commonwealth title,” said Oswald. “It is tough to be in a lone sport. Team players have many
more resources. He has struggled and persevered. I am real proud of him as my child and I really like him as a human being.”

Talking to the Trent Hills News she said, “I am really excited to meet the children because my role is to encourage them to pursue their dream and obviously education too because education helps
to achieve anything.” The space agency’s call for applications was issued last summer and following completion of public service entrance exams, medical tests, examination and security clearance, the selection was announced with the top 72 candidates, then the top 32 and now the number is down to the top 17 who are being considered.

Stirling Police prepare for change to OPP Egg throwers clean up Marmora’s community park
BY TERRY MCNAMEE
Stirling—At last, the wait is over for members of the StirlingRawdon Police Service. Now that council has decided to switch the local policing over to the Ontario Provincial Police, the nine officers in Stirling-Rawdon can start planning for their futures after two years of wondering. But how do they feel about it? “I think they’re of two minds,” said Chief Dario Cecchin in an interview on Wednesday, June 7. “In a sense, many are relieved that there’s a little bit of closure. We know what the next step is.” But, he said, there is disappointment, too, for a police force that takes pride in serving this community. “But, everybody understands,” he said. ‘The issue of the affordability of this police service is well known. It was always going to be an issue for us.” All of the Stirling-Rawdon officers have been offered the opportunity to join the OPP. However, since the OPP cannot start interviewing and hiring until the switchover is finalized, actual numbers are not yet known. “I think most here are looking at applying to the OPP,” Cecchin said. “Generally speaking, wages, pensions and benefits are better with the OPP. “For me, certainly I’m amenable for a position at the OPP. It just depends where and in what role.” He said some officers see it as an opportunity to go into more specialized fields such as traffic or forensics. He said those who make the switch will be based out of the Centre Hastings detachment in Madoc, except himself. Chiefs and deputy chiefs (Stirling has no deputy) are under different guidelines when making the change, depending on where there are openings and what rank they are determined to be. There is a rank determination process to decide where a former chief or deputy fits into the command structure. Before anything happens, the township and the OPP must make a formal application to the Ontario Civilian Police Commission, which then must give its permission for the SRPS to be disbanded and for the OPP to take over. This can only be decided at certain times. “The earliest would be towards the end of October,” Cecchin said. After that, the next window of opportunity for approval is sometime in February 2018. He said about half of the force’s members, including himself, live in Stirling and the rest
Marmora — Youths caught throwing eggs at passing cars were made to clean up their mess. Central Hastings OPP members investigated a report of eggs being thrown at passing cars on Highway 7 in the Municipality of Marmora and Lake on June 11 at 2 a.m. The police located the youths involved. The youths had also thrown eggs on some of the buildings in the local park. Seven youths returned to the park on the evening of June 11 to do a "community cleanup" of the park, and were warned of the dangers of throwing eggs at passing cars.

live in nearby communities, so they would not have to relocate. The department also has one civilian employee, and he does not know yet if that person also will be offered a position. “It’s something we have to look into,” he said. Cecchin marked his third anniversary with the SRPS on Friday, June 9. It was somewhat bittersweet, since he will now be known as the last police chief in the 116-year history of the Stirling Police. “I didn’t envision this when I came here,” he said, but added that he knows it’s strictly a business decision on council’s part. “The costs have outrun the ability of the community to maintain it,” he said. “It’s something that I understand needs to happen for the sake of the community.”
With StirlingRawdon council’s decision to disband its municipal police force, Chief Dario Cecchin will be the last police chief in the township. Terry McNamee/ Metroland

Forty volunteers expected for Hastings road toll BY BILL FREEMAN
Hastings — At least 40 volunteers from Community Care Northumberland’s (CCN) Trent Hills office are expected to help out with the third annual fundraising road toll in June 16-17. The money raised will go toward programs serving Trent Hills area residents like meals on wheels, home help and maintenance, transportation telephone checks, community diners, hospice services, transportation, friendly visiting and wellness programs. “We would like to thank the municipality of Trent Hills and Northumberland County for permitting us to operate
this event in Hastings,” said CCN executive director Trish Baird. “Fundraisers like this help ensure the continuation of programs in Hastings and throughout the Trent Hills area as we are seeing a large growth in the number of residents receiving our support.” Last year, the 106 volunteers with CCN’s Trent Hills office provided 13,820 of service to the organization that included delivering 7,319 meals on wheels and providing 8,194 drives for appointments and errands. The volunteers also helped 65 clients with light housekeeping and basic house repairs through its home help and
maintenance program. Baird says volunteers also helped deliver meals through its community diners program to 3,826 individuals and made 6,156 telephone security calls. Community Care also offered social activities like Hastings Knitters, line dancing, the Men’s Group. Anyone donating to the road toll will receive a thank you card they can display in their vehicle’s window so volunteers know they’ve made a contribution if they happen to cross the Hastings Bridge more than once. Community Care inherited the road toll from the Hastings Lions Club in 2015.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Stirling taxpayer upset about comments over sewage problems Dear Editor, To Bob Mullin and Stirling-Rawdon Council. To start with, pertaining to the comment, Bob, that you made to our local paper two weeks ago. How dare you say what you did! This cul-de-sac and my house beside it plus five on Front Street were badly hit by the floods in our basements — some more than others. And you had the nerve to say what you did about us hooking up our sump pumps to the sewer. None of us have done that! I am hoping you put a retraction in the next paper. If not, I will be sending this letter to the editor. As we know, it was the town’s fault, as no one was watching the pumps 24x7 on account of the torrential rain. It seems you people don’t care about

your taxpayers who pay your salaries. You just want to cover your butts! No wonder people are selling their homes with the way this council is only thinking of themselves. But how can we sell when the real estates have to know about floods etc? There is always said by you people that there is no money to fix things that need to be fixed. But, there is money to do renovations to a nearly new police station. Does that seem fair? No.I have lived here 31 years. And every time there is an election the new councillors are worse than the ones before.Now our insurance coverages will go up — all because of your mistakes — plus some may not get insurance the way some companies work.

The pavilion will host musicians including a local Elvis tribute artist. There will be vendor tables, food and a children’s corner for crafts and kid friendly events.

School wins Champions Award for smoking cessation effort BY BILL FREEMAN
Norwood — Norwood District High School (NDHS) received one of 10 Tobacco-Wise Champions Award for efforts in helping students cut down or quit smoking. The awards were given out by Peterborough Public Health. The health unit ran a seven-week “Change Connect Change” smoking cessation and prevention program at NDHS with 10 students taking part during lunchtime. Of the 10, four managed to quit and others cut back on the amount they smoked. “That’s a huge success rate,” says student success teacher Lori Heffernan, who helped set up the group. Public health promoter Keith Beecroft led the sessions. “It was really a conducive environment of being supportive for one another,” said Heffernan. “The program made them more aware of why they were
smoking and what sorts of skills, techniques, and strategies they can use to either quit or cut down. It was a great support system for each other. We’re definitely going to do it next year." The students really “bought in”, Heffernan said, and by the end of the seven weeks wanted to stay throughout the entire lunch period. The event wrapped up with a yoga session. “Keith said that it was a testament to the community here that the kids wanted to spend time together,” said Heffernan. “The other big thing was that when they first started it wasn’t about quitting; it was trying to cut down and recognizing the stressors and triggers. I knew they were awesome but I didn’t think four could quit. There are going to be setbacks but that’s part of the process and I really appreciate that there were no judgments in there from anyone." Beecroft says the students “quickly evolved into
HBM will help with outdoor school project BY BILL FREEMAN
Havelock — The municipality will spend up to $10,000 to support an ambitious outdoor field project at Havelock Belmont Public School. The project includes rehabilitating a disused running track, upgrading the ball field and the creation of an outdoor classroom along with landscaping work to address ongoing drainage issues in the school’s backyard. The total cost has grown from $27,383 to $60,182 because of additional work that needs to be done including regrading the ditch, bringing in more topsoil and constructing a new long jump pit. Drain Brothers Excavating Limited will complete the project. The school has received a $9,825 TD Canada Trust grant for the outdoor classroom portion of the project. The municipality will help truck the screenings from the construction site and will look at adding fencing and benches near the ball field so it can be used by other community groups. The Kawartha Pine Ridge (KPR) District School Board will pick up the balance of the costs, says economic development officer-deputy clerk Brian Grattan. Grattan said the township’s original commitment was around $9,000 and that their contribution might not reach the $10,000 but he noted that with “skyrocketing” minor ball registrations forcing the Havelock Express to use facilities in neighbouring communities a new field at the school would be a boon. To accommodate minor softball they’d have to install additional fencing and benches, he said. The Havelock Heat soccer club could also benefit. “With the additional work the board is taking on you're going to end up with another soccer field. You’re going to end up with a fairly nice field between the track,” Grattan added The KPR has said the community will be able to use the new field. “This is an example of how when the community comes together you can get things done,” Mayor Ron Gerow said. “We want to make sure our school remains here and that we have facilities.” “I look at this as a bit of insurance in terms of keeping our kids and school in Havelock,” added Coun. Hart Webb.

Madoc Township Public School hosts career fair for area students BY SUE DICKENS
Madoc — Getting a job is more than just learning to read and write; it’s about learning what skills will lead to a career. Forestry technician, chiropractor, vet, scientist, law enforcement officer and dog trainer were just some of the approximately 50 different professions and trades represented during the annual career fair at Madoc Township Public School on Friday, June 9. “The fair has been happening here since 2010. The biggest thing for these kids that the fair provides is new ideas for them to think about, careers they never thought about doing,” said principal Joanne Barry.“I want the students to also think about what they need to do to prepare for a career they want. They’ve got to get some volunteer work. They have to start to think about what their pathway looks like and determine what skills they need,” she added. The students came from Madoc Township Public School and Centre Hastings Secondary School, including one special education class, to meet a variety of career professionals. “The students really look forward to this. They get to meet a different presenter each year,” said Barry.In a letter to the parents, Barry noted that “research has shown that when students have a goal in mind for their future to work toward, that they will see more relevance in their school work and have a sense of commitment to their education.” Watching a dog doing tricks taught by a dog trainer and checking out the outreach trailer for the provincial Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry were just some of what the students were able

to experience. There was even a hydro helicopter that flew above and hovered over a group of kids — an exciting way to make an introduction to a career. “It’s interesting to see the kids asking good questions of the presenters,” said Barry, “and the presenters that keep coming back get better and better at their presentation.”
PET OF THE WEEK!
Madoc — The first murder mystery dinner theatre in Madoc captured the imagination of the Centre Hastings Secondary School (CHSS) senior drama class which performed to a packed Kiwanis Centre on May 31.It was the “première” performance of Murder at the Pie Auction by playwright Michael Druce played by the Grade 11/12 dramatic arts class. The comedy was specifically written for a dinner theatre setting.It was also the first performing arts partnership between CHSS and the Kiwanis Club of Madoc, and it proved to be a very successful evening. In this over-the-top murder mystery, members of a seniors’ centre in Mynute, Alaska are asked to host Mother Mabel’s Baking Championship, an exciting venture, one would think. With the untimely death of Betty Botter, a murdered pie judge named Guy Templeton, and the entire building under investigation, the story quickly unfolds. The audience was “captivated” by this play’s melodramatic characters and comedic scenes. The evening included a roast beef dinner with all the fixings, and lots of delicious pie for dessert, put on by Madoc Kiwanis Chris Ellis and members. Additionally, there was a silent pie auction, where audience members could bid on donated pies. The winners were announced before the final scene of the show.All proceeds went to the CHSS Theatre Arts program. This money will help fund future theatre trips to Toronto and other cities. The school wants to say a big thank you to the

Brighton – Dozens of young ballplayers showed up Sunday afternoon for a instructional clinic hosted by the Blue Jays Baseball Academy. They were there to work on hitting, throwing, fielding, pitching and base running. The $55 registration cost included a Blue Jays hat, T-shirt and baseball manual. Close to 80 youngsters signed up for the fourhour clinic at King Edward Park, one of 16 that will take place across Southern Ontario during June and July. It marked the fourth time one has been held in Brighton. Academy instructor Andrew Peart and three others led the youngsters through different exercises designed to improve their infield and outfield mechanics, wrapping up the day with hitting instruction. “What they need to hope to get out of it is basically the main points of each of the skill sets so that when they go to a tryout, a practice or a game that they are doing things the right way,” said Peart, a
Grade 6 teacher in Oshawa and long-time instructor. “If we get them when they’re young, going forward it makes things a lot easier when they go to play at higher levels and certainly when the pressure is on.” “If you don’t learn to throw properly, it’s really hard to throw really well at higher level,” he said. Peart played and coached at university, and played senior ball throughout Ontario. A clinic held that morning in Peterborough was sold out with 170 participants, with some of them from Toronto. “There have been kids who have started with this program and have gone on to elite baseball in Ontario,” Peart said. Brighton resident Adam Metcalf was there with his son Logan and daughter Emily.

Swinging bats in Tweed in Brodie’s memory BY LYNN MARRIOTT
Tweed – They were swinging for the fences in Brodie’s name here May 26th and 27th. Eighteen teams played in the weekend threepitch softball tournament to raise money for the Canadian Mental Health Association, specifically for the Bereavement Group that provides counseling and support for families of suicides. This was the second annual Brodie Devolin Memorial three pitch tournament. “About $7,000 was raised and more is expected as we continue sell and order more (tournament) shirts,” said the lead organizer Shania Tebo. The games were played at both the Tweed and Stoco ball diamonds going late into Friday night and all day Saturday. Each of 18 teams fielded at least three female players. The A level winners were the Bat Attitudes. The B level winners were Team Crunch. Shania Tebo organized the tournament with the assistance from Bobbijo Kelly, Haillie Tebo, and Tiffany Tebo. “And during the day, I had many more,” said Tebo. Many of the team players and organizers were friends and family of Brodie Devolin, of Madoc, who died in 2014. Approximately one out of four people knows someone who has committed suicide, according to the CMHA. The deceased leaves behind a number of family
and close friends who must cope with the inner turmoil and a feeling of unfounded guilt or responsibility, says the agency. Bereavement counseling and support groups are a benefit to those left behind and the weekend fundraiser supports that service through CMHA.

Hockey Day a good day as always for Trent Hills wellness campaign BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Campbellford — Flourish, the Trent Hills Wellness Campaign, has received another donation toward its fundraising goal of $1 million for recreation redevelopment in Trent Hills. Campbellford Minor Hockey and the Ladies Auxiliary presented a cheque for $1,750, which represented proceeds from the annual Hockey Day in Campbellford. Hockey Day saw every Campbellford team from tyke to midget play in a fun- filled festive atmosphere with the added benefit of supporting the Flourish Campaign, said CMHA president Mike Sherwin. Flourish is a $7 million joint initiative to ensure residents have access to the highest quality
of life, health and well-being. The Campbellford/Seymour Community Foundation is seeking to raise $2 million to support sustainable community development and has established Smart and Caring Community Funds in all three Trent Hills communities; $35,000 has been raised to date. Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation has reached its fundraising target of $4 million in support in quality diagnostic and health care close to home. The Flourish Campaign has also raised $500,000 of the $1 million target Trent Hills has set for the community to show its support for recreational redevelopment.

In memory of Christopher Thurston — golf tournament raises $6,000 for minor sports BY LYNN MARRIOTT
Stoco/Tweed — Twenty five teams of four golfers each came out to support minor sports in Tweed during the seventh annual Christopher Thurston Memorial Golf Tournament. On Saturday, June 10, golfers began arriving early to Poplars Golf Course in Stoco. Many took to the driving range. Others helped the busy organizers. Every golf cart bore a team’s name and the hole at which they would begin their game. The tournament is in memory of Christopher Thurston, who died in a single-vehicle accident in 2011 at the age of 21. Most of the golfers and organizers are schoolmates, teachers, neighbours and family of Christopher. The tournament is both a fundraising event and a coming together in memory. “Thank you to all who came out and participated and to all the wonderful people and companies who donated to help us raise over $6,000 which will all be donated back into the community to various youth sports and other nonprofit projects in Tweed,” said Robert Thurston, Christopher’s father and the event organizer. The previous six tournaments raised and donated $25,425. Now nearly $32,000 has “gone back into the Tweed community.” Robert, Lisa, Cody and Kayla say a big thank you everyone. Golfers enjoyed a wonderful day of great weather, “followed by an awesome steak dinner provide

NOTICE OF SUBMISSION DESIGN CONSTRUCTION REPORT Detail Design for the Replacement of the Rawdon Creek Bridge Highway 62 (G.W.P. 4044-10-00) THE PROJECT The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has retained McIntosh Perry Consulting Engineers Ltd. (MPCE) for the production of Contract Documents related to the replacement of Rawdon Creek Bridge and Highway 62 improvements in the Municipality of Centre Hastings within Hastings County as shown on the key map below. The project includes the replacement of Rawdon Creek Bridge, realignment of approximately 800 m of Highway 62 and pavement rehabilitation, culvert improvements and roadside safety improvements within Highway 62 corridor from Wilson Road to north of Ridge/Moira Rd. intersection. BACKGROUND The Rawdon Creek Bridge replacement and Highway 62 realignment project is part of a larger study to improve the operational and safety conditions of the intersection of Highway 62 and Moira/Ridge Road. A Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) was prepared as part of the preliminary design process and placed on public review for a 30-day period (December, 2014). As a result, the MTO was granted Environmental Clearance for the technically preferred solution to be carried out in two phases. Phase 1, which is being addressed under the current project, includes the Rawdon Creek Bridge replacement and Highway 62 improvements from Wilson Road to north of the Ridge/Moira Road Intersection. Phase 2 of the project, to be carried out at a later date, will include Highway 62 and Ridge/Moira Road intersection improvements. THE PROCESS This project was carried out in accordance with the approved environmental planning process for Group “B” projects under the Ministry of Transportation’s Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000), with the opportunity for public input throughout the project.

Top athletes honoured at NDHS BY BILL FREEMAN
Norwood – Norwood District High School’s athletes were in the limelight June 7 during the school’s awards celebration. It was another strong year for the Knights with 112 athletes on 16 teams wearing the blue and gold. As usual the Knights punched above their weight class hauling in five COSSA medals in three different sports, including a pair of track and field gold medals, three athletes to the provincial (OFSAA) championships. Four members of the archery team also competed at the OFSAA festival at Richmond Green with Zoe Burnett coming home with a silver medal. Earning Junior Athlete of the Year honours were multisport stars Marisha Thompson and Austin Murray and Logan Hall. Marisha and Austin earned gold medals at this year’s COSSA track and field championships while Logan teamed up with Austin to win bronze at the COSSA badminton finals. Winning senior Athlete of the Year awards were another pair of multisport dynamos, Alexa Vanderhorst and Hayden Leeper. Alexa won a silver medal at the COSSA wrestling championships and advanced to OFSAA. Shannon Scriver and Nicole Bennett also earned a bronze medal at the COSSA badminton championships. Continuing a long-time tradition, the school presented OFSAA plaques to athletes who competed at the provincial level; honoured were archers Brady Harris, Jesse Rowatt, Nathan Ellwood, Zoe Burnett; badminton players Shannon Scriver and Nicole Bennett; track and field team members Marisha Thompson and Austin Murray; and wrestler Alexa Vanderhorst.

From sea to shining sea in hand-cut steel BY CHRIS MALETTE
Oak Hills – Shawn Donnan is as comfortable cutting intricate images from raw steel into decorative fire-pit ‘fire globes,’ as he is fabricating a new hitch for a tractor. But, after 30 years of farming on the sprawling Stirling area family Donnan Farms, the 48-year-old Oak Hills man is crafting a stunning piece that is equal parts patriotic, pop art and wow! To be ready for Canada Day and – Donnan hopes – a place on Parliament Hill, is a massive pictograph of Canada in hand-cut steel. Add fire and light and Donnan hopes it will be a brilliant depiction of Canada’s 150-year history in steel. Donnan now operates a metal fabricating shop behind his stunning Oak Hills home off Golf Course Road in Quinte West and that shop is home to a numebr of custom-made fire globes – eyepopping objects that can be placed in a fire pit, stand on their own or anchored on a pedestal. “You can fire them from inside with wood, propane or even LED lighting,” says the heavy metal artist. “But, each one is unique, each one uses light from the source inside to highlight the cut designs and each can be custom made to your specifications, your family or personal story.” But the project that has consumed him is the Canada 150 globe. Cut from a 250-pound steel, two part globe of steel, the monolith finished with a patina to protect it features a dizzying array of figures

on this, already, and I’ve got a lot to go,” said Donnan. “I’d love to see this somehow in Ottawa on our 150th birthday. That’s my dream for it. It is absolutely one-of-akind and makes a real statement.” It’s a bold statement cut in steel and meant to be big, important and eye-catching. Much like the country it celebrates. Metal artist Shawn Donnan with his stunning, hand-crafted steel ‘fireglobe’ depicting Canada at 150.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
If you don’t want to be offended? Don’t look up Dear Editor Re Letter: ‘School Flag Flap; what about our rights?’ I would like to address some of the things that were written in the letter to the editor – School flag flap; what about our rights? It seems to me that the author of this editorial is somewhat outraged that the PRIDE flag is flying at her granddaughter’s public school. She then goes on to say that she presumes that this is to accommodate one or two students in the school who
fall into that category and this will make them feel safe. Well I disagree. There are much more than one or two students that are either gay, will come out as gay or transgendered, or have two Moms or two Dads. At least 10% of the population is gay. You do the math – there is definitely more than one or two. Obviously the PRIDE flag starts dialogue. If a student in school can discuss their feelings openly and realize there is acceptance then isn’t
that worthwhile? You know, it is because of editorials like yours that the need for flying a flag even exists. If as you say that the rest of the population are really not interested in a person’s sexuality then why are you so offended by seeing a flag? Why does this trigger such a response from you? You even at one point state the phrase “to add insult to injury” – how does this insult or injure you? Did you show this insult and disdain to your granddaughter when she showed
you the picture of the new flag flying at her school, or did you take this as a learning opportunity to openly discuss differences in families? Will being with a classmate that perhaps has two Moms or two Dads trigger a similar response from her? If everyone was much more accepting of differences between people the world would be a much nicer place in which to live. There is still much bigotry and intolerance in the world. For the LGBT community, Muslims,
Jews, Christians, Indigenous People, different races and ethnicity – the list goes on and on. So for one week, PRIDE week, if a school, a public building, a church or a place of business want to show their support with a rainbow flag then I do not for the life of me see why that should offend you or anyone else. You find it offensive to have it shoved in your face – then don’t look up! Kathy Reid Marmora
Entrepreneurs In Action: KOOL KOATINGS
Sports gear, product lines, consumer items are all getting dipped
Business success is never the result of sheer luck. There’s a certain grit – an unwavering resolution to seek out products or services that consumers want and then deliver them in a big way. A successful entrepreneur listens and learns, reacts to trends, stays ahead of the competition and some, like Bryan Cribbett, sprinkle in a little ‘kool factor’ too. Bryan Cribbett’s background in mechanical engineering, building trades and previous self-employment efforts are melding together to propel Kool Koatings to the forefront of the Canadian hydrographics industry.
Trenval Business Development Corporation was created in 1987 by the Federal Government to support small business and aspiring entrepreneurs.

Hydrographics (aka water transfer printing or dipping) is an incredible 3D process that allows any water submergible item to be customized with a fantastic design. All-terrain vehicles, golf carts, dashboards, helmets, bikes, automotive trim, sports accessories – plastic, metal, fibreglass, wood, ceramic – all dippable! A water-soluble film with elaborate patterns (wood grain, camo, geometrical designs, metal finishes, natural scenes etc.) is laid on water in a specialized tank and activated. The dippable item has

been prepared and painted. The surface tension of the water allows the pattern to remain after the film has dissolved and with careful, knowledgeable precision, the item is rotated such that the ink pattern curves around each corner, groove, bend and crevice. The ink adheres and will not wash or scratch off. The proud owner now has a rifle, bike frame, thermos and in one case so far, a pair of shoes, unlike any other. CBC News reported the BDC findings that ‘the desire for customized goods’ ranked in the top 5 trends shaping our future. “Consumers are looking to get exactly what they want and new technology makes it possible for them to buy it.” www.cbc.ca/news/business With access to 500 film designs, Bryan fully delivers on the desire for custom or personalized items. He just delivered a camouflageinspired line of paddles to eleven Sail Outdoor stores.

Lyme Disease ground zero in Hastings/PE BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville ¬– The Hastings Prince Edward region has the third highest rate of Lyme Disease cases in humans in Ontario, the public health board heard at a recent meeting. It’s not the kind of news that should scare people from venturing into woods, health officials say. But, it should warn people to be on the lookout for ticks – particularly blacklegged ticks - that could potentially carry the disease. Aptie Sookoo, an inspector for Hastings Prince Edward Public Health, reminded board members that not all ticks are infected with the bacteria that carries Lyme Disease.
Therefore, a tick bite isn’t guaranteed to cause a problem, but there’s certainly potential. “Tick bites must not be interpreted as causal events, but rather potential exposures to elusive illnesses that can certainly pose challenges to health care professionals in the areas of early detection, treatment and patient care management,” he told the board, at its June 7 meeting in Belleville. A person who contracts Lyme disease through a tick bite may experience fever, chills, headaches, fatigue, muscles and joint aches and swollen lymph nodes. If not treated, through antibiotics, it could lead to more severe symptoms, such as facial paralysis, heart
disorders and memory loss. A person may not feel a tick bite immediately, but it often shows itself in the form of a “bulls eye rash.” Public Health’s most recent data, from 2015, shows the Hastings Prince Edward region has a rate of 17.1 Lyme Disease cases for every 100,000 people. The Leeds Greenville and Lanark District health unit’s area had the highest rate in 2015, with 40.8 cases per 100,000. The Kingston Frontenac Lennox & Addington area had the second highest rate at 34.7 per 100,000. All three regions scored well above the provincial average rate of 3.2. Hastings Prince Edward Public
Health immunization manager Bill Sherlock said the rates are surprising to him and he’s not sure why Eastern Ontario has apparently more Lyme Disease carrying ticks than other regions. In a presentation to the board he explained that the disease is named after the town of Lyme, Connecticut, where in 1975 several children were found to have swollen knees, raising suspicions of juvenile arthritis. However, by 1982, a researcher identified a common bacteria found in these cases and by 1988 Lyme Disease was a reportable disease in Ontario. However, until recently, there were almost no reported cases of it in hu-
mans in Ontario. “Human cases have been increasing over past decade,” Sherlock said. “It’s an emerging communicable disease.” Sookoo’s office collects ticks from members of the public who bring them in. He said the majority of ticks come from Prince Edward County. Recently, one came in from Massassauga Point, an area that wasn’t known for ticks before. Both Sherlock and Sookoo stressed that people should still enjoy the outdoors, but to take cautions in wooded areas, where ticks can be found. That can be done by covering up skin, wearing closed shoes instead of sandals and using insect repellent.
First Lyme disease-positive tick of the season identified by Peterborough Public Health BY SUE DICKENS
Peterborough - The first Lyme disease-positive tick of the season has been identified by Peterborough Public Health. In a statement released today, June 8, Atul Jain, manager of environmental health programs said, “The public health lab confirmed this week that a tick submitted recently by a lo-
cal resident tested positive for Lyme disease.” He added, “Ticks can be as small as a sesame seed and their bites are usually painless, so this serves as a good reminder to be on the lookout for ticks and to bring in any ticks you find on people to Peterborough Public Health for identification.” Jain noted that the precise origin of the infected tick is not known, but it

The Good Earth: A Sambucus and a Stromanthe are convo starters BY DAN CLOST
You just gotta love gardeners. One of their more engaging traits is curiosity. They’re the folks you’re likely to see peeking over your fence because they saw a flowered branch dancing in the breeze; they’re the ones who will knock on your door to ask you the name of a new-to-them plant in the front garden. At the Clost Estate there were two plants that gave occasion to the most conversations. The first is a plain old common elderberry, Sambucus canadensis. What is eye catching about this chappy is that it has been trained to a standard giving it a decidedly exotic (unusual) form. If their focus is on just the leaves or the flower/berry clusters identification
is simple but, with the unusual pruning, a macro-view poses a challenge. Managing this standard form is an easy thing to do as long as you don’t let it get away from you. Mind you, it’s taken fifteen years of “easy” to arrive at the current form. Once the flowers have finished, nip off most of the clusters or their weight will break the branches. The other was a Stromanthe sanguinea ‘Tricolor’, sometimes called a Triostar, a member of the prayer plant family. Blade like leaves sport vivid reds and purples, creamy whites, and almost a jade green with a titch of blue in it; quite eye catching. This tropical is not the easiest to grow indoors preferring the high humidity of its
native Brazilian forests, so it is not often seen in an outdoor garden in Canada. Perhaps you might see it in Victoria but, as you know, the folks out there aren’t really gardeners no matter how vigorously protest: their climate lets them plant a 2x4 and grow a spruce tree. Mind you, their designing skills are without parallel as they have such a broad palette from which to choose. One of the interesting benefits of working where I do is the availability of interesting plants. Sometimes, in the spring, the occasional plant plays host to a pest such as mealy bug or cottony scale. The cost of remediation can be greater than the retail value; as well, the time spent to care for it is

which point, a spot is found in the shrub beds. I placed it under the canopy of a paper birch clump (since done in by an ice-storm) and in the lee of a dense honeysuckle bush. I kept it well watered and misted. When most gardens are composed of spots of flower colour atop a green leaf, the centre mass of the Triostar, almost three feet across, was a blazing star that drew the eye from two blocks away. We had curious gardeners stop their vehicles and come over for a look. Sadly, those opportunities seldom arise these days due to
the advent of the outdoor room decorated with oversized tropicals, especially palms, bananas and birds-of-paradise. So much so that they are taking up retail floor space wherein stromanthes, philodendrons and their ilk once resided. However, we do have several schleffera, a fig, and a Monstera philodendron tucked away to surprise visitors. When the warm season is over, and before the frosts arrive, whatever tropical is enjoying its vacation at Casa Clost, it is potted up, rigorously inspected, and then returned to the indoors.

time lost to the spring market. In blunt terms, it is cheaper to toss the plant than “fix” it. (And yes, we do employ biological controls but sometimes the grazing grounds are greener elsewhere for them.) AS a result, I troll the tropical house and salvage the odd, interesting plant. At our home, it is isolated from other plants but exposed to the great outdoors. In the smorgasbord of the organic world, we all share a preferred spot on some other organism’s menu. Within a week or two, something will come along and chow down on the critters, cleaning it up very well. At
Belleville ¬– The Community Development Council of Quinte is in the final days of its 18th Annual Good Baby Box Food Drive. This year the CDC hopes to collect 9,300 jars of baby food, by Father’s Day, Sunday, June 18. As of early June, the CDC was still more than 7,500 jars away – prompting program coordinator Bev Heuving to offer an urgent call for more support. “Even with our funding from Hastings County and United Way, the survival of this program depends on our annual food/diaper drives,” she said. The Good Baby Box program helps provide a cost-effective way for families to purchase baby food,
formula, diapers, infant cereal and many other specialty care items for their children in Hastings & Prince Edward counties. CDC-Q clients can purchase these items at discounted prices at the office at 65 Station St. in Belleville. This year’s goal represents a significant increase over last year’s, owing to growing demand. “The growth and awareness of the program at all of our locations since last year has initiated the increase of our target goal,” said Heuving. In 2016, the Good Baby Box program distributed 6,924 boxes to over 1,200 children, an increase of 24 per cent over the previous year. “We have worked hard at creating awareness that the program is available to anyone and everyone
throughout Hastings and Prince Edward county,” Heuving added. “We are asking everyone to assist us in reaching our goal of collecting the jars needed. As a program coordinator, it is great to see our community step up to give back to the children residing in our local communities.” Donations can be dropped off at 65 Station St. (the entrance is at the back.) Any monetary donations are also welcomed, as it allows CDC-Q the availability to buy large quantities of supplies when on sale. If you need your donation picked up or would like more information on starting a food drive at your business, school, church or organization, call the office at 613968-2466.

There are strange things done in the midnight sun BY JOHN M. SMITH
Caveman Bill lives here on the bank of the Yukon River, near Dawson City. John M. Smith/Metroland
she’s about to have a baby, so she will head south for the delivery and then return here. 3. This mentioning of summertime ferries that are replaced by winter’s ice roads is yet another strange thing about the far north. Some of you will have watched “Ice Road Truckers” on TV, so you’re already aware that it takes a special kind of person to deal with this danger. 4. Yet another strange thing associated with Dawson City is that Caveman Bill has been living in an actual cave along the banks of the Yukon River here for about 20 years. I passed his home when I took an ex-
cursion on an old paddlewheeler, the Klondike Spirit, and I learned that this cave, located just across the river from Dawson City itself, is his home year-round (yes, all winter, too!), and it includes his self-made furniture, a television, and solar power. 5. In Miles Canyon, near Whitehorse, a dam was built, and this destroyed the very rapids that Whitehorse had been named after. Those rapids had reminded people of the white mane of a horse, and had given this city its name, but then, strangely enough, they were gone. 6. Near Whitehorse, on the Yukon River, is the world’s largest wooden fish ladder, built to help
the salmon swim upstream to their spawning area. Even underwater cameras have been installed to monitor the salmon pooling below the entrance to this ladder. 7. In Beaver Creek, next to the Alaskan border, you’ll find the Border Town Garage and Museum,

where Sid has a weird and wacky collection of oddities and rare items in his backyard, including memorabilia from the Gold Rush era and even boarding passes on the Titanic. Strange, indeed! 8. In Carcross, stop by the world’s smallest desert. These northern sand dunes are yet another strange thing to be found in the Yukon. 9. At Haines Junction, you’ll find yourself on the edge of Kluane National Park and Reserve, where you’ll find our country’s largest mountain, Mount Logan, with the largest base circumference of them all. On May 26, 1991, a record -77.5 °C (-106.6 °F) was observed on Mount Logan, making it the coldest temperature ever recorded outside of Antarctica. 10. Another natural phenomenon that’s best viewed in the far north is the Northern Lights. Most of the aurora borealis tourism companies seem to be based in Whitehorse, but one particularly special place to view them would be at the nearby Takhini Hot Springs while enjoying a warm soak during a cold, clear winter evening. To learn more about this natural phenomenon in general, you could check out the Northern Lights Space & Science Centre in Watson Lake. And while in Watson Lake, be sure to check out its unique Sign Post Forest, for visitors have been adding their hometown signs since 1942, when the Alaska Highway Project was completed. It’s quite a collection! For More Information: www.travelyukon.com (Travel and accommodation provided by Holland America)

When I was in Whitehorse in the Yukon, I attended the “Frantic Follies Vaudeville Review”, and here I saw a very humourous re-enactment of Robert Service’s famous poem about the Yukon Gold Rush, “The Cremation of Sam McGee”. In this rather silly poem, it’s stated that “There are strange things done in the midnight sun”, and on this particular night, a frozen prospector, Sam McGee, was cremated. When the narrator checked to see how Sam was doing inside the boiler of the Alice May, Sam asked him to “Please close that door.” He went on to say that “It’s fine in here, but I greatly fear that you’ll let in the cold and storm”. Apparently this was the first time that Sam had ever been warm since his arrival in the far north! The very grueling Yukon Quest sled dog race is held up here every February, between Whitehorse, Yukon and Fairbanks, Alaska, and it’s a real test of courage, skill, and endurance – even for the spectator. Yes, it can get mighty cold in the winter! The Yukon is also often referred to as the “Land of the Midnight Sun”, for it seems that the sunlight simply won’t quit during the summer. This natural phenomenon reaches its peak around the summer solstice, so it can make it difficult for summer visitors to sleep during the daylight. It’s even possible to go for a walk in the wee hours of the morning, or go mountain biking or paddling. It’s also possible to participate in a golf tournament at midnight. For example, Dawson City holds a “Midnight Sun Golf Tournament”, with teams of 5 participating in a best ball spectacle. There are, indeed, “strange things done in the midnight sun”, and here are ten more examples of rather strange events that take place up here in the Yukon: 1. Arguably the strangest of them all is the tradition of the “Sour Toe Cocktail” in Dawson City. Here one can visit the Sourdough Saloon in the Downtown Hotel and join the “Sourtoe Cocktail Club” by consuming a drink with a dehydrated human toe immersed in it. The simple rule is that “You can drink it fast. You can drink it slow. But the lips have got to touch the toe.” Some participants have become so enthralled with this challenge that they’ve even ended up swallowing the toe, too! 2. While talking about Dawson City, another strange thing there is that some people choose to live just across the river, without modern conveniences, and this means using an outhouse in the winter. As one woman who chose this lifestyle told me, it also means being unable to cross the river to Dawson City during freeze-up and spring thaw, as the free ferry can’t go and the ice road is not safe. This particular woman also confided that

Campbellford – When things got too hot for its patrons at The Barn, Westben Arts Festival Theatre went out and bought a “Big A** Fan�. No, really, that’s what the manufacturer calls it. A ceiling fan that’s huge. Twelve feet across. Not only that, Westben had The Barn’s cracked and uneven concrete floor repaired, awnings added, accessibility to entrance ways improved, and its doors fixed and hardware replaced. Making completion of the Welcome Project possible was a $34,000 grant from the Ontario 150 Community Capital Program along with $11,000 in donations raised through Fans of Westben campaign. The renovations will extend the life of the theatre “while increasing the effective, save and comfortable delivery of its artistic services,� artistic director Brian Finley said in a statement. “Enriching people’s lives through arts, culture, heritage and tourism by having appropriate spaces will have an impact

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Islam as ‘violent’ a broad brush error Re: Letter from Jason L. Van Dyke, July 8 Islam as a violent religion is too sweeping a statement since the Shia countries had for the most part secular tolerant governments until western regime change became the norm. Iran secular government before the coup installing Shah Pahlavi had women in government, in university etc, but like Iraq, Libya, Syria cursed with oil these secular governments had to be overthrown. Meanwhile the Sunni despots in Saudi where almost all the 9/11 terrorists came from are our best
friends. Trumps hand on the orb is akin to being “blood brothers” as long as the flow of US weapons continues. In one day last year Saudi beheaded 50 people for such crimes as driving while female, or insulting the king. These Muslims then are the ones we deem worthy of our support, they also help funnel weapons to ISIS. Worth a read is the piece by Max Blumenthal on Alternet concerning the Manchester bombing.

Dear Editor, The reason for the sewage backup in Stirling was placed on the “failure” of not one, but three fuses. Over three decades of work in both the electronics and power industries have shown me that fuses open, not fail, for only one of two possible causes. The first is a real failure in the equipment being supplied by a source of electrical energy. This removes power to the failed equipment in order to prevent further damage to the equipment in question, or to remove a possible overload on the equipment supplying the power. This is what is most familiar to us about the fuses or circuit breakers in our homes. The other is a more subtle situation wherein the inrush current

required to start the pump motors has not been taken into account. A homeowner may encounter this with well or sump pumps which often require time delay fuses or circuit breakers with slower tripping times. Both will eventually trip open at their rated current, but will take longer than the so-called “instantaneous” opening variety. These devices must be selected or co-ordinated by taking into account both the inrush current magnitude of the pump motors and the ratings of other fuses or breakers that lie closer to the energy source. The Stirling problem appears to be the result of a design error, or in plain language: human error.

4th Annual Ralph Kitchen Memorial Ride a roaring success BY SUE DICKENS
Marmora — Motorcycle riders arrived in Marmora on Sunday, May 28 from Hastings, Peterborough, Prince Edward, and other counties east, to participate in a fundraising event started by the Kitchen family. The 4th Annual Ralph Kitchen Memorial Ride was a roaring success. Margriet Kitchen, wife of the late Ralph Kitchen, talked about what happened to her husband when he was injured in June 23, 2009, when “life as he had known it came to an end.” He was involved in an accident with a baby deer in northern Hastings County which left him with a traumatic brain injury “and a slender hold on life.” Margriet said, “Through the efforts of countless medical teams in Kingston and Peterborough and the constant support and encouragement of his family, Ralph did return home to Marmora.” She praised the efforts of those who helped. “One of the groups instrumental in Ralph's recovery, and in supporting of family, was the Brain Injury Association Quinte District. Dedicated encouragement and positive reinforcement by the therapists and staff brought about a quality of

life for Ralph's remaining four years. “These are just some examples of the strength of conviction in providing positive health development and ongoing education and support from this remarkable organization. Life was different, but always, life was good.” At the ride Sunday, a wide vari-
ety of bikes with their riders gathered at the Madoc Township Hall where, as Margriet said, “friends gathered once more to support a wonderful cause, and to remember, or in some cases to get to know the man.” After a breakfast prepared by Kitchen's children Sheryll and Gerrit, and a pre-ride registra-
tion and safety talk, the group of 40 bikes and riders proceeded down Highway 62 for the hourand-a-half tour led by son Byron Kitchen. At the hall coffee and refreshments were available and local vendors who had been invited brought various crafts, jellies and jams, and as well donated prizes
to a draw. Madoc area musician Cliff Andrews kept everyone entertained. When the riders returned a barbecue lunch and a 50/50 draw was held, with the winner donating his share back to the association. “I want to thank all the riders and the many sponsors who supported this fundraiser,” said Margriet. “A special thanks to off-duty Cst. Robin Veerman and staff of the Centre Hastings OPP who assisted to ensure a safe riding experience.” For more information about the Brain Injury Association Quinte District, check out their website at: www.biaqd.ca, or call 613-9672756 or email info@biaqd.ca. “See you next year,” Sun., May 27, 2018 at the Madoc Community Centre, 15651 Highway 62 North of Madoc. About Ralph Kitchen: The late Ralph Kitchen was an enthusiastic motorcycle rider and ambassador for safe riding through his activities with various organizations. His term as a regional director for Harley Owners Group of Ontario allowed him many opportunities to encourage others to explore their beautiful counties by bike, but also to do so safely.

Madoc student gives where he lives Madoc - It may be several months before the Give Where You Live (GWUL) tour touches down, but the crew has already received its first official donation from a local student. Last week, 12‐year‐old Madoc Public School student, Jamal Demorest handed over a cheque for $209 to GWUL, which this year is directly supporting Camp Trillium’s Garratt’s Island in Prince Edward County. GWUL is community fundraising effort hosted through the volunteer efforts of police officers from local Ontario Provincial Police detachments and the Belleville Police Service. “Jamal has been with us from the beginning and continues to be a huge supporter of our efforts,” said Belleville police Const. Jeremy Ashley, who accepted the cheque from Demorest. Since he was six, Demorest has raised upwards of $2,000 for the group, which was formerly known as Pedal for Hope Quinte. When asked why he continues to raise money for the efforts of the police officers, Demorest reply revealed a personal connection to the plight of the initiative, which focuses on raising money for local children battling cancer. “My dad died from cancer and I don’t want anybody else to

go through what I did,” he said. “It’s bad enough for adults to get cancer, but it’s just so sad for kids. The families with sick kids try so hard to make a normal life – I hope this helps kids be kids. They deserve this and much more.” Raising money has turned into a community effort for the youngster over the years. “My family, friends and neighbours are great. They give me pledge money each year. We have yard sales and last year I gave my birthday money to the Pedal for Hope (Quinte).
“The fun part is knowing that I did something to help kids. It’s pretty cool getting my head shaved each year and having a big assembly at school.” This fall the GWUL tour will kick off on October 10 and visit a number of elementary schools throughout Hastings and Prince Edward counties, playing host to high energy assemblies, ice‐cream eating contests and more.

Springbrook — Marcus Hacault, a five-year-old boy who is bravely battling stage four cancer, had his dream come true thanks to the caring actions of Glenn Davison, who hooked up with the folks at McKeown Motor Sales in Springbrook to make it happen. The story is written down and included in a picture frame featuring several photographs of Marcus and Glenn, as a tribute to thank Bill and Grace McKeown and tractor salesperson Bill Cooke for making it possible. It is hanging on the wall at McKeown’s. “It started three years ago when my wife Cheryl passed away from pancreatic cancer. When she went for treatments, we had to go through the pediatric cancer unit to get to the area for adults,” said Glenn, who until now has kept his name out of the public eye and remained anonymous. “It broke our hearts to see the young children suffering, crying and clinging to their parents. Cheryl said that if we had enough money, she would like each child receiving cancer treatments to get a cuddly plush animal. So, three years ago and again this July 6, it will be the fourth time that I go to Kingston General Hospital and purchase enough ‘cuddlies’ for the children in the cancer ward,” he

explained. Last year 30 “cuddlies” were anonymously donated to the ward and young Marcus chose his favourite character, Clifford the Big Red Dog. Long story short, Marcus reached out to Glenn and they became friends for life, “brought together by tragedy,” Soon, Marcus was emailing him and they talked about Glenn’s farm in Flinton, and it wasn’t long before this young boy’s dream to ride a tractor became a reality. Bill McKeown agreed to float Davison’s new tractor to Marcus’s home in Kingston, so that he and his siblings could have a ride. Bill Cooke, salesperson at McKeown’s, volunteered to drive the rig down. At the end of the day, Cooke presented Marcus with a childsized replica pedal tractor. “When we pulled out, he was still riding it around and around in the driveway,” said Glenn grinning. McKeown commented, “Glenn’s really been really looking after this kid. He came in to us with the idea ... there was no question whether we would do it or not.” Now called “the dealership with a big heart,” McKeown Motor Sales has been a part of the community for 80 years. “I believe in paying it for-
ward, finding ways to make a difference in people’s lives and keeping promises made. This event for Marcus is just following through on my beliefs, following my heart,” Davison concluded. Framed thank you at McKeown’s The Dealership with a Big Heart: It’s not often that people get a chance to make a little boy’s dream come true, but Bill and Grace McKeown and Bill Cooke did just that last Saturday. Marcus Hacault, my fiveyear-old friend who is bravely battling stage four cancer, wanted to come to my farm and ride in a tractor. Since he couldn’t come to the farm, McKeown’s volunteered, without any hesitation at all, to float a new tractor down to Marcus’ home in Kingston, and he and all of his siblings shared his dream. Just before we left Kingston, a childsized replica pedal tractor was presented to a very surprised and happy little guy. This is not the first time that the family at McKeown Motors has gone way above and beyond to make a difference. I would personally like to thank Bill, Grace, Bill Cooke and the McKeown family for the love they share and for making Marcus’ dream come true. Sincerely, your friend, Glenn Davison June 3, 2017

Campbellford students tell why they're proud to be Canadian BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Campbellford — Why are you proud to be a Canadian? Bemersyde IODE asked that question of Grade 4 students at the three elementary schools in town. Canada has a great hockey team; some of the best food, like poutine and Kraft Dinner; its flag is “really cool”; there’s “almost no litter”; and it’s “great for going on a long trip,” because the country “is full with fun things and some beautiful places,” wrote Colin Stephens of Hillcrest Public School. There’s also snow, which “looks and feels awesome, and gives you a great reason to get a cup of hot chocolate to warm you up.” Canada has “a lot of great trees,” like ash, oak and maple, which are used to make bats, flooring, furniture, bowling pins and butcher blocks, among other things, said Benjamin Marshall of St. Mary Catholic Elementary School. They “also provide us with clean air and shade,” he added. “But, we take them for granted.” Canada has “a lot of awesome sports,” including lacrosse, hockey and curling, which is one of Claire Rowe’s favourite winter sports to watch on TV. The St. Mary student said she’s
“so lucky to live in Canada,” because she has “all these fun sports to play.” Ava Finlay of Kent Public School is proud to be a Canadian because of all the rights that citizens enjoy, including deciding what to celebrate, choosing who rules and saying what you want. Canada also has clean air and water, four seasons that are “unique and beautiful,” and people who “are happy and very kind” living in a country that’s free and peaceful. Soldiers have also played an important part, “because they went to war to protect Canada,” and it was Canadians who invented hockey, basketball and lacrosse to “entertain us so we are not ... bored all the time.” Briar Wellman, also from Kent, said Canada “is a safe place to live” with lots of rules. Canadians embrace differences and are free to choose what they want to be as individuals. They are also friendly and “awesome at hockey.” The winning entries for Canada’s 150th Anniversary IODE Good Citizenship Award were selected by each school. Making the presentations were Bemersyde IODE president Sheila Peters and a delighted citizenship officer Marie Westlake, who said she was “absolutely surprised” by the students’ compositions and the values the schoolchildren “hold dear.”
Skip the tan, Public Health urges With summer approaching, residents may be seeking a summer glow. This year, Hastings Prince Edward Public Health is encouraging residents, particularly young people, to “skip the tan” in order to avoid the negative effects of ultraviolet rays from the sun and/or tanning beds. “Despite skin cancer being the most common cancer in Ontario, many people still believe that tanned skin is healthy and attractive,” says Jessica DeMars, health promoter. “It is a common myth that a base tan from a tanning bed or the sun will protect your skin from further sun damage. While a base tan provides an SPF of 2-4, you need an SPF of 30 or more to protect your skin.” The sun-kissed look will result in negative long-term effects for an individual’s
health and appearance, with young people being especially vulnerable to the harmful effects of UV rays. Tanning, especially before the age of 35, increases an individual’s risk of skin cancer, specifically melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. Tanning can also lead to wrinkles, skin damage, premature skin aging, eye damage, and cataracts. HPEPH is encouraging parents to talk to their teens about tanning and set an example by practising sun-safe behaviours. The best way to enjoy the sun safely is to cover up, seek shade, wear sunscreen with SPF 30 or more, wear sunglasses, and limit time spent in the sun between 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information about sun safety and cancer prevention visit hpepublichealth. ca/healthy-living/cancer-prevention.

Farmers, motorists encouraged to share the road responsibly BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Campbellford — Farmers and motorists can do more to reduce the risk of their being involved in collisions together. How? That is the subject of a BrightenUp campaign information blitz by Safe Communities Northumberland County. “Farmers are getting on the fields now with a delayed start due to the wet season and will be working later,” said Trent Hills Fire Chief Tim Blake, spokesperson for Safe Communities Northumberland. The committee is encouraging farmers to add enhanced lighting to increase the visibility of their equipment at a dis-
tance, and advising motorists to be “aware of how to safely move around” them. Blake was joined by other members of Safe Communities Northumberland at Bob Mark New Holland Sales Ltd. to promote the committee's latest message for improving safety on local roads. The message for farmers is to attach magnetized batteryoperated LED units to older machinery not equipped with caution lights. “The 'slow moving' signs in most cases are faded and not kept up-to-date, so these are an inexpensive way to add that lighting to the back of equipment,” Blake said.
“They're readily available but not used as much as we'd like to see,” said Scott Jibb, a Hamilton Township farmer. Bryce Stapley, who's in sales at Bob Mark, said LED technology uses long-lasting batteries to provide lighting that's “very, very bright” for as little as $25 to $38. “There's really no laws saying they have to have lighting on so it's just generally up to the farmer's discretion.” There are fewer farmers “but there's the same amount of farmland so (they're) travelling a lot more road than they ever were,” Stapley said. Jibb said he knows farmers who have fields in seven munici-
palities. “They'll easily travel 50 kilometres from one extreme to another.” Melanie Trottier, regional marketing planner with the Ministry of Transportation, said there has been an increase in the number of collisions involving farm vehicles since 2012. Travelling the road “is a shared responsibility” between farmers and motorists, she said. There's “a higher risk” of collisions when farm vehicles enter roadways “because motorists don't realize how slow they can go, but maybe motorists go too fast, too, on those back roads.” “People get so frustrated (coming up) behind a slow-
moving vehicle,” said Northumberland OPP media relations officer Const. Steve Bates said. “The one thing we want the public to do is exercise an extreme amount of caution when they come upon farm machinery on our roadways. Keep in mind they're large and cumbersome, and at times can't pull over to the side to let you by because of their load shifting.” “Patience is a virtue and the equipment is getting so large today that it does require special consideration” by all concerned, said Alnwick-Haldimand Township Councillor Ray Benns. “We save one life, we're successful.”

Student jazz players wow Tweed Pavilion BY LYNN MARRIOTT
Tweed — The 2016-17 Gateway Community Health Centre Youth Jazz Ensemble are Grade 5 to 8 students, who had feetsa-tapping at their year end concert in the Tweed Kiwanis Pavilion, Tweed Memorial Park, May 25. The young jazz ensemble opened with O Canada and proceeded to play eight swinging tunes. “I wasn’t sure we could learn this,” preambles music director Andy Seguire, as they burned into their last number Uptown Funk. We are “blown away with their dedication and it shows in the music,” said Carol-Ann Watson the program lead. “Tweed — this is your band,” said Seguire. Each player began with no instrument knowledge. They rehearse two hours, twice a week, have played 11 concerts and entered three competitions throughout the school year. I like “developing musical skills I didn’t have before,” said Jack Newman, when asked why he dedicates so much time to the program. “It helps me describe my feelings,” said Shelby Kehoe.

The group won the highest mark at the Stirling Festival of Sacred Praise. Seguire has been music director for three years. The ensemble includes: Jaequin Christian on drums; Shelby Kehoe and Jack Newman on bass guitar; Rowan Lindsay, Ella Derrett and Lexi Delyea on trombone; Martin Fitzell and Emily Delyea on alto sax; Thomas Fitzell and Dean McCann on tenor sax; Decian Scea on baritone sax and trumpet and Riley Lindsay and Todd Hansch-Watman on trumpet. Claire Dafoe has volunteered for three years as bass teacher. Emily Delyea played this year as a Grade 9 student and Lexy Delyea will play next in Grade 9. Thomas Fitzell will audition for the Canterbury School of the Arts in Ottawa. Tweed Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 428 made their seventh annual donation — this year $1,000. The program costs $15,000.

Stirling Agribition teaches kids about farming BY TERRY MCNAMEE
Stirling — For many Grade 4 students attending Agribition at Stirling's Farmtown Park, it was the first time they had held a lamb or petted a calf. Held Wednesday and Thursday, May 25-26, the annual event included students from Stirling and many surrounding communities in the Hastings-Prince Edward School Board, plus a school from Stockdale. “We've put through about 450 students in the two days,” said committee chair Linda Huizenga. “We had two new schools this year.” The students visited 10 different agricultural stations to learn about farm animals and where their food comes from. Huizenga said most of the students come from cities and towns, and have had little or no experience in seeing farm animals up close. The event, which ran from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day, included about 30 volunteers from the area's farming community. Agribition has been held at Farmtown for about 10 years, Huizenga said. While learning about farming and seeing antique and modern farm implements, where milk and cheese come from and how food is grown was interesting, the big hit of the day was the chance to pet and snuggle with lambs, whose soft wool and gentle faces enthralled many a young visitor.

GIFT OF LOVE Dr. Bruce Cronk would be embarrassed to know the Belleville General Hospital Foundation has named a group of very special donors in his honour. He was a brilliant diagnostician and a true man of science. He was a fierce advocate for his patients. He was a teacher. Most of all, he was compassionate, kind and generous, and he was loved and respected by everyone who ever knew him. But, he was also modest.
Dr. Bruce and his wife Sylvia
So, Dr. Cronk would probably say he didn’t deserve to have such an incredible group named for him. But we know better - not something that could be said very often - because members of the Dr. Bruce Cronk Society embody many of the same traits that made him so beloved. By making a gift to BGH in their will, Society members demonstrate their caring and generous nature; they’re saying they don’t want their commitment to the ones they love, or to their community, to end without one last gift to make care better. Just as Dr. Cronk did. People do make gifts in their wills without telling us, and we’re very grateful when we receive them, but we encourage people to tell us, and join the Dr. Bruce Cronk Society, so we can say thank you in advance. And, there is another reason. When you let us tell others about your intention to support the hospital in your will, it encourages them to do the same.
