Denied ministry funding for out-of-country surgery, Trent Hills mayor says he’ll be dead by Christmas
By John Campbell
Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in January, credits drinking noni juice with having “cured” three cancerous lymph nodes in his chest as well as shrinking the tumour in the pancreas, leaving it “stabilized,” but surgery is needed soon to remove it because “the clock’s ticking.” Photo by John Campbell
Trent Hills – Mayor Hector Macmillan is dying and he’s angry the provincial government isn’t doing more to keep him alive. Macmillan, 58, survived esophageal cancer five years ago but was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer in January. His only chance, he insists, is to undergo surgery at the University of Louisville School of Medicine in Kentucky which has had success in extending the survival rates of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. But it’s expensive – $250,000 US – and last week Macmillan learned his application to have the cost of the surgery and subsequent care paid for by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) had been denied by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care. It cited the “experimental” nature of the treatment he seeks, which makes it ineligible for funding for OHIP-insured out-of-country hospital and medical services. The Association of Municipalities of Ontario’s annual conference in Toronto gave Macmillan the opportunity to confront Minister of Health Dr. Eric Hoskins on Aug. 16 during the “bear pit” session, when ministers answer questions from mayors and reeves from across the province. He told Hoskins he had learned a day earlier that he had “joined the ranks of many Ontarians who are being murdered” by the ministry and Cancer Care Ontario, “who offer no solutions for pancreatic cancer except palliative chemo.” Macmillan said Ontario already has the “NanoKnife machine” that’s used in Kentucky
to destroy cancerous tumours using electrical pulses, but it “collects dust” at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto “while the protocols [for its use] are still being developed.” Meanwhile the process, known as irreversible electroporation, “is being used daily successfully around the world, in over 250 hospitals, 50 of them in the U.S.,” he said. “It’s only considered experimental in Ontario because you don’t want to pay for it, or pay for me and others’ out-of-country surgery in Kentucky,” he told Hoskins. “My doctors have told me I will be dead by ... Christmas without it. Mr. Minister, why are you killing us? And are you really just going to let me die?” A sympathetic Hoskins acknowledged the “challenges” Macmillan is going through personally and in his dealings with the healthcare system but he said he and his government “rely on a body of highly talented physicians, specialists to provide [them] the best possible advice” on what should be funded. “It’s not a political decision,” he said. His government wants to provide “life-saving opportunities” to individuals but “at the same time we want to base our health-care decisions on best practices and science and evidence.” The “experts make that decision on all of our behalf and regrettably it’s often decisions that patients can’t fathom,” he said. Hoskins did commit “to finding out why that determination was made” concerning use of the new technology at Princess Margaret, saying, “there’s nothing more important” to him as a minister and even more as a physician than
finding ways “to improve an outcome for an Ontarian.” He was “deeply troubled by the decision that was made in your case,” he told Macmillan, “and I am sorrowed by the challenge that you face with our health-care system and I apologize for that.” In an interview Aug. 19, Macmillan said he plans to ask for an internal review of the ministry’s decision. But “with time running out” and suspecting the decision isn’t likely to be overturned, he chose to speak to Hoskins directly “not only on my behalf but [for] all Ontarians.” The minister‘s response, however, was “nothing more than lip service,” he said. Now he’ll have to find the money on his own to pay for his treatment, which will be a daunting task. He and his wife “went all in” to purchase a bowling alley three weeks before he was diagnosed, and “$30,000 a year on the mayor‘s wage doesn’t cut it.” He also can’t get a loan, given the state of his health. But Macmillan won’t have to raise the funds alone. Trent Hills Fire Service has launched an online fundraiser at www.gofundme. com/2km49uk and set a goal of $100,000. It’s in recognition of his many years of service as mayor and his work on behalf of the community, which earned him a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal. “I’m speechless. Actually, I’m bawling,” Macmillan said of the fire department’s initiative in an email. Within two days of going live, the account had raised $6,785 from 66 people as of Aug. 21.

Central Hastings Trent Hills News - Thursday, August 25, 2016
Roseneath – A Campbellford man faces several charges after the OPP Central East Drug Unit, assisted by Northumberland OPP, executed a search warrant at a Roseneath cannabis dispensary. Northumberland OPP say police found hash oil and different types of product being sold, including Critical Mass, White Cookies, Rock Star, Sweet Tooth, Bruce Banner and White Widow. They also seized a one million volt stun gun walking stick, complete with flashlight, at South Shore Wellness – Full Service Cannabis Dispensary at 8987 County Road 45. The warrant resulted in 4.4 pounds of cannabis marijuana advertised/packaged for sale being
seized, along with 195 grams of cannabis resin, 527 50 ml bottles of a liquid drink containing cannabis marijuana, hundreds of packages of cannabis tea, cannabis cookies, cannabis resin syringes and four digital scales. The owner of the store, Timothy Tucker, 43, was charged with two counts of possessing a Schedule II substance for the purpose of trafficking, one for more under three kilograms and another less than three kilograms; using, dealing and acting on a forged document; and possessing property obtained by crime worth under $5,000. He is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Cobourg Sept. 28.
Total fire ban lifted in Trent Hills
Campbellford - Fire Chief Tim Blake has rescinded the “total fire ban” and re-issued a “fire advisory” for the Municipality of Trent Hills. A fire advisory is not a total fire ban. Fires will be permitted with an open air burning permit that has been approved, for campfires as approved on the open air permit, natural gas or propane fire pits, and natural gas or propane barbecues, but must be supervised at all times. According to the press release by Chief Blake, “Fires shall be completely extinguished prior to leaving the area.” He also advises that people must have some means of extinguishing the fire such as shovels, rakes, fire buck-
ets, garden hose, etc., available at or near the location of the fire at all times. Daytime open air fires are not permitted until further notification. A person who sets an unauthorized fire under this advisory will be responsible for the costs of extinguishing the fire at $300 per hour per vehicle. Chief Blake also stated, “Do not discard cigarettes from your vehicle.” Several of the recent grass fires were the result of a discarded cigarette, said Blake. “We appreciate your co-operation at this time when the weather conditions are dry and hazardous conditions can escalate quickly.”
Burn bans lifted in Stirling, Tweed A summer long burn ban has been partially lifted in Stirling-Rawdon and Tweed. Fire Chief Derrick Little imposed the burn ban in early July due to drought conditions being experienced across the region but says recent rainfall has allowed for some restrictions to be lifted. Recreational burning only, i.e. campfires, will be allowed from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. “Residents are asked to closely monitor all
campfires,” said Chief Little, “and remember to thoroughly extinguish even the smallest fires at the end of the evening due to the extremely dry conditions we have experienced this summer.” A complete fire ban continues on all brush burning, open air burning on farms, and incinerator burning. Residents can monitor their area’s fire status by visiting the fire department’s website at www.srfd.ca

Elvis Festival rocks and rolls on for sixth year By Brett Mann
Award. The Elvis Rising Star Youth Competition which is financially supported by local benefactors Don DeGenova and Dr. Chuck Mustard drew only three entrants this year. Jesse Gallant, 11, and brother Aaron, 15, performed with verve and dedication to an audience which included their father Bill, a longtime ETA. Conner Russo, 11, from Toronto, was awarded first place in the Junior Division, five to twelve years of age. Downtown Tweed was the site of
a number of Elvis-themed events including the Legion Parking Lot Party, special afternoon ETA performances at the Tweedsmuir Tavern and a “King Idol” competition on Friday and Saturday evenings at the Tweedsmuir. Hundreds of fans took advantage of the chance to meet and dance to the music of their favourite ETAs. Elvis displays graced main street shop fronts with a special exhibit of Elvis memorabilia at the Tweed Heritage Centre. A classic car parade on Saturday morning organized by
volunteer Janis Goodmurphy, who won the Volunteer of the Year Award for her efforts, gave some lucky lady fans a chance to receive a scarf and kiss from their favourite ETAs. The theme of this year’s contest was ‘The Early Years’ and each contestant had to perform at least one musical number from the beginning of Elvis’ career. Many comments from ETAs and the audience indicated a fondness for Tweed and its Elvis Festival and a determination to return next year.
Tweed – MP Mike Bossio, one of the dignitaries at the opening of the sixth annual Tweed Elvis Festival was clearly impressed with his first visit to the event. Strolling the festival site with his wife Irene, Bossio remarked, “This is amazing. Do you know how much work and organization goes into something like this?” Organizers had some extra hurdles to deal with this year in the form of sweltering heat on Saturday and rain delays on Sunday, but their years of experience got them through and they produced another Elvis show in a series that seems to get better each year. About 100 volunteers are needed to make things run smoothly, not counting the year-long efforts of a dedicated festival committee led by chair Lisa Lesage. Freddy Vette whose live band played on Friday evening, and local musician Francis Woodcock provided emcee services More than twenty ETAs (Elvis Tribute Artists - “not ‘impersonators!’) wowed the audience with performances of Elvis material, alternately rousing, touching and reverent. The winner of the Pro Division was Oliver Steinhoff from Germany who also thrilled a large crowd at the Tweed Legion Elvis Parking Lot Party on Saturday. Steinfhoff will now represent Tweed in the 2017 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest in Nashville. Steinhoff was the first place winner of this year’s Collingwood Elvis Festival. Mike Calamusa of Belleville won first place in the Non-Pro Division and Oliver Steinhoff from Germany, winner of the 2016 Ultimate Elvis award, joyfully hoists festival chair Lisa Lesage at the conclusion of this year’s successful also won the coveted Fans’ Choice contest.

Who are the Elvis fans? By Brett Mann Tweed - The continuing success of the Tweed Tribute to Elvis Festival, decades after the death of the “King” raises the question, who are the Elvis fans and what is the nature of his enduring attraction? A casual survey of folks arriving for the festival reveals a mixed audience. Women appear to continue to outnumber men by about two-to-one, but what is striking this year is the range of ages represented. “Our demographic has been in the 50 to 60-year-old age group, but now it’s skewing younger,” said Carolynne Campbell, director and volunteer manager. Indeed, among people arriving from Guelph, Barrie, Ajax, Frankford, Peterborough, Kingston and beyond, a number of fans in their early middle age or even in their 20s were evident at this year’s festival. In some cases, sons and daughters were accompanying parents for what may be their first Elvis tribute concert. Statistics provided by board member Bonnie Jussila for last year indicate that 33 per cent of those surveyed were visiting for the first time with 44 per cent coming from 100 km away or farther. “At the beginning the audience was made up of seniors, 45 plus in age, but we have noticed an increase over the years in younger people, 25
plus,” Jussila notes. Attendance in 2015 was 1,850 “and is expected to be much higher this year,” says Jussila. Although some folks arrive in a classic Jaguar convertible, the majority appear to be solidly working/middle class and some of the multitude of recreational vehicles on site sport fading paint and other marks of use and age. While women fans outnumber men, it would be misleading to think of Elvis as only a heartthrob idol for the ladies. The range of material chosen by ETAs includes a fair share of love ballads as well as rocking classics like “Shake, Rattle and Roll” but also represents Elvis songs which simply speak to the heart and the human condition, with all its grief, loss and struggle. Many Elvis songs share with country music a willingness to confront the hurting side of life that often gets missed in popular music. When delivered by the uniformly strong and fine voices of the ETAs, songs such as “This Time He Gave Me a Mountain” still have the power to touch emotions deeply. A sometimes overlooked aspect of Presley’s work and life is his public commitment to Christianity which may explain his continuing appeal for some of the audience. In every festival so far, the classic Christian hymn “How Great Thou Art” has been re-
peatedly performed, and not just at the Sunday morning Gospel Hour, but in the competitions themselves. When complimented on his beautiful voice, a famous American soul singer
remarked that while it’s nice to have a beautiful voice, the most important thing to an audience is that the singer believes what he or she is singing. On this score Elvis continues to speak
to people’s hearts and humanity, and with each passing year of successful festivals and younger audiences responding, the more the term “legend” seems accurate in describing the King.

Music, sun sizzle at Havelock Jamboree By Bill Freeman Havelock – The music and sun sizzled at the 27th Havelock Country Jamboree. With an equatorial heat wave settling over the 500-acre site, hydration and sunscreen were as prevalent as the party beverages that helped fuel the joyful celebration of
tens of thousands of country music fans. There was some mighty fine music rocking from the mammoth twin stages not the least by Canadian country icon Terri Clark, breakout star Jess Moskaluke, song-writing powerhouse Tebey and hockey player turned country singer Chad Brownlee.
Then there was the sheer remarkable otherworldliness of Asleep at the Wheel. With 10 Grammy Awards on the shelf, the Austin, Texas outfit turned in a high wattage performance that let loose all kinds of musiccraft. Even country legend Sammy Kershaw, set to play later that night, was mesmerized standing in the wings with the sound techs
singing along with Ray Benson and his musical crew. The Band Perry and Scotty McCreery delivered the star power Saturday night but Canadian Jess Moskaluke, the most-played Canadian female singer on Canadian country radio in 2015 (second only to Carrie Underwood overall) was every bit their equal with a performance that was dynamic, confident and tight. There’s a reason people c o m p a r e Moskaluke to Shania Twain, and it’s not just
the fact that she’s the first Canadian female artist to earn gold record status since Twain. Two CCMA female artist of the year awards for Moskaluke is a sign of things to come and a headlining gig at the Jamboree has to be in her future. Canadian superstar Terri Clark commanded the headliner’s spotlight Friday night and the eight-time Canadian Country Music Association female artist of the year was magnificent winning roars from the large crowd that was more than warmed up and revved to dance. In all, 25 acts performed over the sun-drenched four day festival.

OPINION
Duterte and the UN Rodrigo Duterte, the new president of the Philippines, gives good copy. Here’s a quote from his final election rally: “Forget the laws on human rights. If I make it to the presidential palace, I will do just what I did as mayor. You drug Gwynne Dyer pushers, hold-up men and do-nothings, you better go out. Because I’d kill you. I’ll dump all of you into Manila Bay, and fatten all the fish there.” And here’s another, from last Sunday, after United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and the UN’s Office on Drugs and Crime condemned Mr. Duterte’s “apparent endorsement of extrajudicial killings.” “I do not want to insult you,” Duterte said. (He only called them “stupid”.) “But maybe we’ll just have to decide to separate from the United Nations. If you are that rude, we might just as well leave. So take us out of your organisation. You have done nothing. Never. Except to criticise.” What upset Ban Ki-moon and the UNDOC is the fact that Duterte is having people murdered. Since he took office three months ago, some 900 “suspected drug-dealers” have been shot dead by police and civilian vigilantes acting in his name. None was found guilty by a court, and some, of course, were completely innocent. Duterte is not denying it or apologising. Before he leaves office, he says, he’ll just give himself an amnesty: “Pardon given to Rodrigo Duterte for the crime of multiple murder, signed Rodrigo Duterte.” “The Punisher”, as he was known when he was mayor of Davao, is very serious about his “war on drugs”: he recently said he would kill his own children if they took drugs. But crime is not the Philippines’ biggest problem, and it’s not clear what else he is serious about. But he does have a plan of sorts for what to do after he walks out of the United Nations. He says he may ask China and African countries to walk out too and form a rival organisation. He doesn’t know much about China or Africa, so maybe he thinks they would like to get together and defy the parts of the world where governments believe that killing people is wrong.

“Duterte Harry” (another nickname) is very popular in the Philippines, but he is not really a threat to global order. The hundred million Filpinos will have to live with him for the next six years, but the United Nations is not doomed. In fact, it is doing better than most people give it credit for. One proof of this is the fact that the Secretary General now has the right to criticise a member government merely for killing its own citizens. That’s not what it was designed for. When it was created in 1945, as the catastrophe of the Second World War was ending, its main goal was to prevent any more wars like that. The founders tried to give it the appearance of a broader moral force by signing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, but that was mainly window-dressing. The UN was created by the great powers to prevent any government from launching another war of international aggression, not to make governments treat their own citizens better. In fact, each major power was effectively guaranteed the right to do whatever it wanted to its own citizens, so long as it did not attack the neighbours. In this, the new UN was just recognizing reality, for every great power was determined to preserve its own “sovereignty”. Even for smaller powers, the great powers could rarely agree on what kind of intervention was desirable, and who should do it. The UN has done well in its original task: it shares the credit with nuclear weapons for the fact that no great power has fought any other for the past 71 years. It has gradually moved into other areas like peace-keeping and promoting the rule of law in the world, but it never interferes inside the territory of the great powers. Even in smaller countries it almost never intervenes without the invitation of the local government. So when Duterte called the UN useless because “if you are really true to your mandate, you could have stopped all these wars and killings,” he was talking through his hat. Besides, he would never accept UN intervention in his own country to deal with an alleged crime wave. He’s just talking tough because he hates being criticised. It’s very unlikely that he will carry out his threat. The UN is the keystone in the structure of international law that, among many other things, deters China from settling its territorial dispute with the Philippines by force. Rodrigo Duterte is just a problem for the Philippines, not for the UN or the world.

Of Wheat Kings, Milgaard, Marmora and Gord Editorial - Chris Malette Late breaking story on the CBC, a nation whispers, “We always knew that he’d go free” they add, “you can’t be fond of living in the past, ‘cause if you are then there’s no way that you’re gonna last” Wheat kings and pretty things Let’s just see what tomorrow bring… By now, last Saturday’s epic performance of The Tragically Hip (Is it their last? They said it was their last!) is seared on the consciousness of Canadians between the ages of, oh, say 30 and 60. Like most, I would hazard, I wasn’t a rabid Hip fan, but I know a cultural phenomenon when I see one and appreciate a good song when I hear one, but there’s one Hip song that always brings back a flashback memory I’d just as soon forget. Many either only learned these past couple weeks or still aren’t aware that the iconic, haunting song ‘Wheat Kings’ is written for and about wrongfully convicted Manitoba native David Milgaard. There is a connection to here – Marmora and a Belleville courthouse – that always, always brings that song home for me and, as I said, I wished I could enjoy it for its melodic and lyrical brilliance. But I can’t. In an Aug. 19 piece on CBC’s website, cbcmusic.ca, reporter Jesse Kinos-Godin chronicled how Milgaard’s mother, Joyce, and sisters were moved by the song and The Hip’s deep interest in seeing justice for Milgaard after one of Milgaard’s sisters – who’d been lobbying for his conviction to be investigated – asked Hip frontman Gord Downie and his bandmates to listen to the evidence as to why their brother should go free. They agreed and the song was written when Milgaard was indeed let free from prison in April, 1992, after serving 23 years — 8,355 days — for a vile crime forensic evidence would later show was committed by a serial rapist right under the bumbling Saskatchewan cops’ noses. Milgaard was just 17 when he was wrongfully convicted of the rape and murder of nursing assistant Gail Miller in January, 1969. After Milgaard had been free for some months, he found himself in Ottawa for reasons I don’t recall, but it was long before he’d been given his compensation package of $10 million for his wrongful conviction and was taking a Greyhound bus from Ottawa to Toronto one fall day. The bus, as they did on the Highway 7 Toronto-

Ottawa run in 1992 and apparently still does, on occasion, stopped at the Mr. Convenience shop at the ‘four corners’ in Marmora. Out stumbled a tired Milgaard, buy accounts, who went into the store to get a snack or drink. While inside, he turned to see his bus pulling away – without him. Panic set in and he dashed through the store, stiff-arming a young boy out of his way and into a display of chips and candy in his haste to make it out the door and after the departing bus. Too late. The bus was back on the road and Milgaard was stranded, cursing and screaming in its wake. The bewildered store clerk called the police, Madoc OPP responding, taking Milgaard into custody for assault and causing a disturbance. Back in handcuffs, back in a cell. We either got a tip or heard it on the police scanner (memory fades here) in the newsroom in Belleville and were told there was a court appearance at about 4 or 5 p.m. Off I went with photographer Frank O’Connor. The Canadian Press was very keen on an update and a photo, as could be expected, as Milgaard was still big news months after his stunning release. Off to Belleville’s courthouse at ‘15 Vic’ we went and around the rear sally port door, after a very brief court appearance, police led Milgaard out to a waiting cruiser, still handcuffed behind his back. And it is that image, of an absolutely exhausted, shattered, confused and clearly hurting Milgaard that haunts me every time I hear Wheat Kings. Here’s a guy who was robbed of 23 years of the prime of his life, finally set free, unable, clearly, to deal yet with life on the outside and he’s back in some Podunk town in cuffs with a couple of local news hacks capturing the scene for all to see – again. It was all eventually resolved and the charges either withdrawn or reduced and it of course faded from most everyone’s memories. Except mine, likely Frank’s and I’m sure Milgaard’s memories. It was a sad, sad thing to happen, to see and to have to report on, I must say. It brought me no joy to see this man in handcuffs after such a sorry, silly incident. Turned out, it was just one of Milgaard’s many stumbles on the road to reclaiming his life. As for Gord and the Hip, they certainly captured the zeitgeist of a nation and know how to launch a haunting memory through song – one, I’m afraid on Wheat Kings, I’d rather forget.

Time to play at Campbellford Farmers’ Market By Sue Dickens Campbellford – Changing things up with a kids day the Campbellford Farmers’ Market offered entertainment and toy food to dozens of youngsters who showed up for this first-time event. There were plenty of thumbs up on the market’s Facebook page the day it happened, which was the normal weekly Wednesday morning for vendors to sell their homemade pastries and homegrown fruits and vegetables and more. Musician Terry Brooks performed and did sing-alongs with the children and Brianne Parr of the Campbellford library hosted storytime. As well, Jenny Madden of Glenlea Farm, a vendor at the market, organized “name that farm tool” game for the kids. A family that has recently moved from Mexico to Campbellford was at the market and chose the venue as a chance for their children to
learn about where food comes from and to enjoy the entertainment. Bencar Grace was with his three children Yaritizi, age 1, Owen age 3 and Vaaya age 6. They were learning about fruits and vegetables at the toy booth. His wife Emily is the daughter of Campbellford resident Kerry Burke. “I have lived in Mexico all my life. We came here to be safe,” said Bencar. “Today is a lot of fun for the children.” Eight-year-old Aiden Smith was with his siblings and grandparents Lynn and Courtleigh Hermanus of Toronto, who have been coming to this area to a cottage for 25 years. Aiden, who wants to be a martial arts or swimming instructor, said, “I like Campbellford and I like the farmers’ market. I eat fruits and vegetables all the time. I’d rather eat healthy stuff so I can stay fit.” The market is open Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon through the summer on Front Street Bencar Grace and his wife Emily have recently arrived here from Mexico. The youngsters enjoyed the toy food booth at the special kids day at Campbellford South across from the TD bank. Farmers’ Market: from left, Yaritzi, age 1; dad Bencar; Owen, age 3; and Vaaya, age 6.

Warkworth Long Lunch a sellout again By Sue Dickens Warkworth – A sold-out venue again, the Warkworth Long Lunch, was moved from the downtown to inside the local arena because of rain but that did not dampen the enthusiasm or turnout for this
fundraising event. Organized by the Warkworth Business Association, all of the money raised goes back into the community for the revitalization of the downtown area. The crowds came early, but the many volunteers were able to keep
the line moving quickly as people had their plates filled with barbecued beef or toupee ham, baked beans, corn on the cob from Glover’s Farm Market, rolls, coffee or tea and the famous homemade Warkworth pies. ‘”We added a salad this year for vegetarians and will look at next year to expand on that,” commented Perry Melzack, co-chair of the event. “I think a lot of
people came at the early time,” noted Nancy Honey, co-chair as she looked at the arena crowded with people. Last year about 85 per cent of those who came were first-timers. “About 10 per cent of the folks here are local,” Honey noted. Some came from as far away as Oshawa and Peterborough to fill their plates and support the fundraiser. The venue is so popular that other towns and cities are calling organizers to find out the secret of their success.
“There are other communities trying to emulate what we do and they reach out to us asking what we do and how we do it … this, today, is 13 years in the making,” added Melzack. The volunteers are one of the main reasons the event succeeds. “The community is wonderful. We put the call out to volunteers and they just come.” About 30 volunteers are involved each year. Johanna Allen who was there with her triplets Avery, Isabella and Quinn, perhaps said it best: “It’s fantastic.”

Cruise Night corn roast in Marmora once again a great success By Margriet Kitchen Marmora – The weekly Thursday night car show put on by Marmora No. 7 Classic Cruisers was one of the most successful held yet, with crowds of admirers viewing over 90 vehicles on display up and down Forsyth St. This was the annual corn roast night sponsored by Northland Power, featuring tasty local produce and lots of butter. The 50/50 draw realized $525
while the weekly die cast car draw raised $198. Music was supplied by Leather and Lace. The Sept. 1 event will feature Cliff Andrews and his music. Funds raised from the die cast car draws goes to the Food for Learning breakfast program at the Marmora schools, while other funds raised go to selected groups as determined each year.

By Margriet Kitchen Marmora – Organizers of the Helping Hands Food Bank expressed great appreciation for the generosity of the community on Saturday, Aug. 20 at the Cram the Cruiser event. The event took place at the Marmora Valu Mart, where shoppers were encouraged to buy a little extra for neighbours in need. Marmora food bank chairperson Linda Pacaud said, “There are 55 families in Marmora who are in need of supplementing their grocery needs from the non-perishables the food bank is able to supply. We are not affiliated with any other organization or government body, so our main supporters, the sponsors, businesses and people of Marmora are the only source of the items needed each month.” On Saturday the truck supplied by Tom and Janet Dies was filled twice over, and cash donations

Hastings Fiber Fest will shine light on ‘local masters By Bill Freeman Hastings - There’s a thriving and diverse textile community in this region and Hastings has become the magnet that draws them together
each summer. The seventh annual Hastings Founders Fiber Fest takes over the civic centre Aug. 19, with a strong focus on “local masters” featuring significant displays by the Townshend Quilters of Campbellford
and the Northumberland Rug Hookers as well as presentations, guest demonstrations and exhibits by Twoloom Alpacas and The Fields of Trent Hills. The Hastings Founders Festival continues its strong partnership with
Lang Pioneer Village Museum’s Textile Festival and the series of textile tourism master classes it hosts from September to November. Northumberland County and Trent Hills is rich in textile artistry, says Morrison. The area’s deep agricultural roots is one reason, she says, but another is the fact that a lot of artisans can’t afford to live in a city like Toronto. “They have found a place to live here. There’s a really vibrant community of like-minded souls [and] they are discovering each other,” Morrison said at previous festival. “The textile community likes talking, likes meeting other people and likes sharing ideas.” The Aug. 19 show runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and includes workshop demonstrations from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. There will be guest talks from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. The workshop presentations
include those on knitting, hooking, embroidery, quilting, weaving and spinning and alpacas. Lunch will be served by the Hastings Textile Group. Guest talks feature Diane Algera of the Northumberland Rug Hookers talking about traditional and contemporary movements and Campbellford’s Townshend Quilters relating stories from the machine and needle. There will also be a showing of the film “Selvegded Voices” on artisans in Chile and India. There is no admission charge but a free will donation would be gratefully accepted. The Hastings Founders Fiber Festival is sponsored by the Hastings Historical Society, the Hastings Textile Arts Group, Lang Pioneer Village, the Province of Ontario and Island Park Retirement Community.

Tweed’s Mayor Albert acclaimed to a second term on AMO board of directors By Brett Mann Tweed – Tweed’s Mayor Jo-Anne Albert has been re-appointed to the rural caucus of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) board of directors, this time by acclamation. Albert was initially appointed to the position when seats became open following municipal elections across the province in 2014. This time she stood for election for the position and was uncontested. “I put my name in and then there was an election in every one of the six caucuses. I was acclaimed because, you know, there was just enough. I didn’t want to run an election,” said Albert. AMO is the main voice of municipal governments with the province, representing over 400 municipalities. The organization lobbies for municipalities on those issues which concern a number, often a majority, of municipalities and provides a more effective way of getting municipal governments’ concerns heard by the province than most municipalities could achieve on their own. AMO has considerable clout in gaining the ears of ministers
and advising provincial policies and agendas. The AMO conference itself was “excellent” this year, Albert reports. “I thoroughly enjoyed it. There were a lot of important announcements.” One of these was the announcement of new provincial funding for municipal infrastructure in the form of the new Clean Water and Waste Water Fund. It is a joint federal and provincial initiative, says Albert. Will Tweed be able to benefit from this? “I hope we can. Hopefully we are eligible for something. We have to wait to find out what the criteria is.” Asked about the issue of affordable housing in light of possible loss of affordable rental accommodations across the province resulting from stricter fire code enforcement, Albert noted, “The province just put out a new housing strategy. Again, there are funds out there but I’m not sure how they are handed out. I’m not sure what it will look like.” Albert says of her renewed appointment, “I’m very pleased to be on AMO for a second term. The more you’re on, the more you learn.”
Level 2 Low Water Condition still in effect in Stirling and Quinte West By Terry McNamee Stirling – Recent rainfalls in the Lower Trent watershed area in August have not been enough to improve the conditions of local streams and wetlands. The area, which stretches from Grafton to Quinte West and from Rice Lake to Lake Ontario, remains under a Level 2 Low Water Condition as a result of four months of extremely dry conditions, according to Lower Trent Conservation. “Trenton has been the hot spot for precipitation within our watershed, with 46.2 mm of rain (Aug. 16) and 34.8 mm on (Aug. 13), bringing this month’s total to 82 mm so far,” Janet Noyes, manager of Watershed Science & Services, said on Wednesday, Aug. 17. “However, the Stirling, Ivanhoe, and Campbellford areas have received lower rainfall amounts.” She said water flows in local streams range from 32 to 69 per cent of normal, with the worst drought conditions found in the northeastern portion of the watershed region. Flows on Rawdon, Squires/Hoards and Trout Creeks are
extremely low. “Above normal precipitation will be required over the next few months to restore groundwater levels and stream flows to normal conditions,” Noyes said. On Aug. 5, before the recent rains, Quinte Conservation announced a Level 3 status and asked people to reduce their water usage by 50 per cent. During a Level 2 alert, residents are asked to reduce water usage by 20 per cent. In both cases, non-essential water uses such as lawn watering and car washing should be suspended until natural water supplies recover. Those who hold a Permit to Take Water from the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change are asked to reduce their water taking by 20 per cent as well. Local municipalities have implemented outdoor fire bans due to the dry conditions.

Employees give top marks to Campbellford hospital By Sue Dickens Campbellford – A report by the National Research Corporation (NRCC) highlighting top performing employees at hospitals in Ontario noted, as part of its employee experience survey, that Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH) received very positive
scores. In a press release, it was stated that in the report, CMH was identified as a top performing hospital at or above the 90th percentile in the category called “organization”, which includes questions about leadership, values, communications, action on feedback, valuing work of staff, staff understanding goals of
the organization, and staff having trust in the organization. As well, the hospital’s employee satisfaction survey results also earned it a top performing status among small hospital peer group members in Ontario in organization, health and safety and the “can trust this organization” category. “These results validate the
outstanding work and commitment of Campbellford Memorial Hospital’s team. We have a unique culture, combining a level of warmth that you don’t find in most hospitals with a spirit of innovation that allows us to deliver excellent care,” said Brad Hilker, president and CEO. “We are focused on recruiting and retaining the best people with
a shared interest in ensuring safe, quality care and service excellence for our patients, both now and in the future,” he added. Results presented in the report are based on data collected from the NRC Employee Experience Survey completed in participating Ontario hospitals between July 2014 and December 2015.

Canada, Havelock share big birthday dates in 2017 By Bill Freeman Havelock – Tying together Canada’s big sesquicentennial bash and Havelock’s 125th anniversary is the name of the game as the township applies for Ontario 150 grant funding. Havelock-Belmont-Methuen has already decided it will spend Canada 150 funding on four picnic shelters if their application is successful and there’s no shortage of ideas for ways to celebrate the national milestone in 2017 and the village’s 125th. “We could try to tie a bit of that activity together in the application and start looking at a way to build up to that,” HBM economic development officer Brian Grattan said. “Maybe it’s the week prior [and] run events right up to July 1 and July 1 would be the big celebration.” Township councillors have already put on their thinking caps. Councillor David Gerow said it was a “golden opportunity” to consider a splash pad. “Our municipality is not blessed with an overabundance of beaches,” Gerow said. “Looking to the future as well as the past is what this is all about,” he said of the celebrations. Deputy-Mayor Jim Martin agreed that a splash pad is a “strong thing” on lists of potential recreation projects for the municipality. “It keeps coming forward,” Martin said. He said he expects a splash pad will be a “big thing” at a future public meeting on potential recreational ventures. Councillor Hart Webb suggested a tribute to the village’s long railway history, a passenger legacy that died when VIA rail cancelled its weekly train from Havelock. “Some kind of train ride from here to Toronto or Toronto and back,” Webb said. Webb says he and others are “pro bringing the rail back [to Havelock]. “Something like that could bring the players to the table if only in dealing with this then we can move forward to the future. It’s just an idea.” Councillor Barry Pomeroy suggested a walking bridge from the medical centre to the Concession Street playground. Mayor Ron Gerow said getting the school involved is crucial. “The kids will remember that [celebration],” Webb agreed. “I remember the first plowing match I went to. I’m not a farmer but I still remember that. It’s a big thing.”

Stirling area student turns hobby into a businesses By Terry McNamee Stirling - While most students had to search for summer jobs, Taylor Russett created his own. With the help of an Ontario government program called Summer Company, the 16-year-old Stirling resident created his own photography business, and has never looked back. The program provides $1,500 in startup cash for students who are aged 15 to 29 and who are in high school, college or university and returning to school in the fall. When applying to be part of Summer Company, they must provide a detailed business plan. Those who are accepted are paired with mentors to help them learns the ins and outs of running a business and how to keep proper business records. When the program ends,
they receive an additional $1,500. Taylor’s mentor this summer was Andrew McLaughlin, his photography teacher at St. Theresa Secondary School in Belleville. High school was his first exposure to learning about photography. “I took it as an elective, and it turned out I really, really liked it,” Taylor said. “My teacher recommended that I go further with it, so this is my way to go further.” However, the soon-to-be grade 12 student is not just succeeding with Summer Company, he is also getting high school credits for his summer work. “I get credit from the school and credit from the government,” he said. “I‘m the first person to do this from our Board (the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board) and in the Belleville area.”
Under the name Russett Photography, Taylor has been working hard — and making money. “The summer‘s been great,” he said. “I’ve had a lot of customers.” He has done a lot of portraits, a wedding and some commercial photography, as well as designing business cards and other items. He uses a Nikon D80 digital single lens reflex camera and a computer setup where he uses PhotoShop, Lightroom, Adobe Suite and more to create special effects. “My website is
probably my prize piece,” he said. His favourite subjects are babies, and while he hasn’t done any pet photography, that is among his future plans. “I really want to try that avenue of photography,” he said. Taylor does not plan to make photog-
raphy his lifetime career, but he wants to keep doing it for the near future. “I want to continue my business as long as I can while I’m in school,” he said. To see some of Taylor’s work, go to his website at www.russettphotography. com.

Last summer event for O’Hara Mill Homestead
By Diane Sherman
Madoc Township - The next event at O’Hara Mill Homestead is a pioneer Christmas the first weekend in December, where you can take a horse-drawn sleigh ride through the bush, explore historic buildings and play some old-fashioned games. The annual corn boil festival August 20, seemed to be more about young people building scarecrows, skipping rope and jumping in feed bags than munching down on hot buttered corn. Families with children are frequenting the pioneer settlement more often, enjoying outdoor activity away from electronic devices and busy home lives. Families from Havelock, Midland, Bancroft, Madoc and Belleville took in the day to share simpler pleasures with live music playing on the Little Stage, and fresh produce harvested from the kitchen garden available to all for a donation. Of course, the quest goes on to fund maintenance of the conservation area with the third annual lottery underway.
Tickets have been selling since the new year. Three draws will be completed with the last during Christmas at The Mill. August 19 to 21, Madoc’s own Upper Canada Stone Company hosted a dry stone wall building workshop which drew in folks from afar. A 60 foot traditional Scottish stone wall now stands in the field just east of the main entrance. The stone company intends to continue to build next year, and hopefully extend the wall the full length of the newly acquired field. O’Hara Mill volunteers plan on more demonstrations of traditional plowing and planting next year, expanding the settlement onto the new land. To learn about O’Hara Mill Homestead and Conservation area and for activities throughout the year, go to their website at o’hara-mill.org, or the Quinte Conservation site at quinteconservation.ca. The Mill hosts weddings, children’s adventure days, school outings, games and exploration days, facilitated by the conservation authority, and Horse drawn wagon rides are always a favourite of visitors at the mill.

West Nile virus detected in Lindsay mosquitoes Area residents are asked to fight the bite of mosquitoes, now that West Nile virus has been detected for the first time this year in the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit region. The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit has re-
ceived lab confirmation that a batch of mosquitoes collected in Lindsay on August 18 have tested positive for West Nile virus. This is the first time in 2016 that West Nile virus has been detected in Northumberland County, Haliburton County and the City of Kawartha Lakes – the area served by
the Health Unit. “This finding is an important reminder that when we are outdoors, we need to fight the bite of infected mosquitoes that can spread West Nile virus,” says Frances Tsotsos, a Public Health Inspector with the HKPR District Health Unit.
To reduce their risk of West Nile virus, area residents are encouraged to: Cover up when outside by wearing light-coloured clothing such as longsleeved shirts, jackets, long pants, hats and socks, especially between dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active. Applying federally-registered
insect repellent on exposed skin (such as products containing DEET) is also recommended to limit exposure to mosquitoes. Clean up and remove any standing water around their homes, cottages or campsites. Mosquitoes need stagnant Please see “West” on page 27

By Sarah Hyatt Colborne – A Colborne triathlete will represent Canada next year in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Harold Kuschnik earned his shot to compete at the World International Triathlon Union Championships in 2017 and to represent Canada, after he returned home with a third place win from the Canadian Triathlon Championships in Ottawa this summer.

Adult mosquitoes also like to rest in dense shrubbery, so people should keep bushes and shrubs clear of overgrowth and debris. Compost piles should be turned on a regular basis as well, and people are advised to make sure homes and businesses are ‘bug tight’ by ensuring windows and door screens fit tightly and do not have holes. The most recent statistics (as of August 13, 2016) compiled by Public Health Ontario show West Nile virus has been detected in 58 batches of mosquitoes collected across the province.

By Sue Dickens Campbellford – “Sharing the Bounty” was the theme of a very special celebration for the Campbellford Community Edibles Garden. When the garden began to take root this spring on land on Doxsee Ave. N. which has been donated by Calvin Newman of Newman Insurance, the volunteers dug in and built beds for all the vegetables to be
grown there. The build happened in April and approximately 20 raised beds now are home to everything from cabbage to beets, carrots, cauliflower, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, squash and more. There’s even some rhubarb, raspberries and strawberries.

Beverley Vye is one of those volunteers. “I am volunteering because I think we need this garden in our town to share and to work together,” she said wearing a hat with a huge sunflower. In fact she painted the cloth banner with the slogan. “We’re doing this as well to encourage people to start their own gardens.” On the day of the celebration, the committee hosted a garden tea party and invited anyone and everyone to join them to taste treats made with garden vegetables such as a homemade carrot cake, chamomile tea and zucchini muffins. Joan Sheppard who did a trial run with her idea in the parkette at the corner of Bridge Street East and Front Street North in September 2015, noted, “I think a lot of people are surprised with our success and a big part of this is to revitalize the downtown. That’s a piece a lot of people miss.” Pick day is once a week and anything left over is taken to the local food bank so nothing goes to waste.

New signs add to Mathison conservation area By Bill Freeman Havelock – New signage on the Mathison property just north of Havelock add information and recognition to the 250acre parcel of land bequeathed to the municipality in 2011 by John and Annie Mathison for conservation, recreational and public education. The signage is a follow up to a “sign strategy” developed by Fleming College (Lindsay) Ecosystem Management students last winter. It was the second time Fleming students had studied the property; the initial project produced information and recommendations on trail mapping, trail expansion, maintenance, nature lookouts, environmental partnerships and an interpretive guide. The new signs are “really nice,” says HBM Deputy-Mayor Jim Martin who also chairs
the municipality’s Mathison Ad Hoc Committee which is developing a master plan for the property. The committee includes community members and school representation. The property borders Havelock Belmont Public School which has made great use of proximity visiting the property frequently to explore the nature trails and landscape and using the purpose-built toboggan hill. Students were involved in the design of the signage and their work has been recognized. “It would be nice to involve the school again and expand on those signs,” said Martin. “It’s kind of nice to see the kids’ names on them. It’s a picture of their hard work.” There’s “lots of information” on the signs, says Martin. “We could probably go through a second stage of that and keep the school involved.”
Through their participation, Martin hopes youth “take ownership” of the property and feel proud about what they’ve contributed and what they can learn and enjoy from the site. The municipality is still trying to locate a dedication plaque that went missing several years ago from a rock near the site’s McLean Avenue entrance. “Next time [the committee meets] we’ll have to talk about that and maybe get something similar to what’s up at the caboose,” said Martin. Township CAO Pat Kemp noted that Sustainable Peterborough has applied for wetlands-related funding on behalf of the eight municipalities; HBM is eligible for $7,000 which would be matched by the township. There might be an opportunity to use that money on the Users of the Mathison Conservation Area trail system just north of Havelock will notice a number of new signs as they hike Matheson property, said Kemp. along.

Diamond milestone for Hastings Waterfront Festival
By Bill Freeman
Hastings – It was a diamond-like weekend for the Hastings Waterfront Festival. The three-day festival celebrated its 10th anniversary under blue skies with a much-appreciated cooling breeze off the Trent River as temperatures soared. The diverse, activity-rich celebration is a showcase for the village and Trent Hills, as well as the superb marina and south shore waterfront which has become a signature attraction in the area. The festival has grown from a oneday event to three days with musical entertainment on two nights and a classic car show on Sunday to cap it off. Saturday’s program included plenty of children’s activities, an eclectic range of vendors, savoury
riverside fare and a beer tent. A silent auction continued throughout the weekend. “Each year has been a little different; all have been great,” outgoing festival chair Erin Farley said. Farley and her committee will hand the festival off to the Hastings Revitalization Association after 10 years. She’s excited by the HRA’s succession. She “feels happy passing the torch. “I’m absolutely thrilled. I love the festival but it’s enough.” The HRA will bring some fresh ideas and keen enthusiasm to the event, Farley said. Some of the festival’s long-time volunteers will remain involved and will be a good resource to call on. “It will be mostly a new group. Some will stay.” “The first year with the [antique]
boats was so special. It was such a beautiful day. It took me back to my childhood. I had forgotten about wooden boats,” Farley said. With the marina full of seasonal and transient boaters, bringing a classic boat show back to Hastings would be too “awkward,” she says. “This is the event we make sure we get out to every year,” says Hastings Historical Society executive Jim Coveney. “It’s a great place to meet a lot of people from out of town and those who live here and others who want to live here.” “It’s a great festival and good for tourism for the area,” added artist Artisans Ann Easby of Campbellford shows off some of the woodcarvings she had on display at the Hastings Anne Easby of Campbellford. “I Waterfront Festival.

Seavey speaks at 9:30 a.m. and will remain until closing at 4 p.m. Mark Lacelle of Komatic Outfitters will be on hand to talk about mushing gear and different types for various races. The day will also give mushers a chance to talk about the upcoming 2017 world championships in Haliburton, which is expected to draw teams from around the world. Cost for the day is $30 for OFSS members, $40 for non-members. A lunch will be served. See Eldorado Sled Dog Races on Facebook for information or call Shane Cox, 613-921-2564.
Madoc - You don’t have to be a musher to be enchanted by the lore of a 1,000 mile trek by dog sled through Alaska’s wilderness, nor do you need to be a member of Ontario Federation of Sleddog Sports to enjoy the stories Dallas Seavey can share. Saturday, Sept. 10, he will be at the mushers symposium hosted by the Eldorado Sled Dog race committee at the Arts Centre in Madoc. Seavey is the youngest musher to win the Yukon Quest and the Iditarod. He took the Iditarod in 2012, at the age of 25, then lost to his father, Mitch, in 2013, but came back to take the title three years straight. This year he broke his own record, finishing in eight days, 11 hours, 20 minutes and 16 seconds. Dallas lives in a yurt just outside of Willow, Alaska, with his wife and daughter and a kennel of 90 huskies. His grandfather Dan Seavey homesteaded in Alaska in 1963. He was a founding member of the Iditarod, finishing third in the inaugural race of 1973.

Madoc Township - Twenty would-be dry stone masons enrolled in a weekend of hands on experience August 19-20 at O’Hara Mill Homestead. The event took place just down the road from Upper Canada Stone Company Limited (UCS), which supplied 40 tons of Scottish Highlands dry stone to build a wall. President of UCS, Perry Hartwick, collaborated with Canada’s only certified, licensed examiner/instructor, Master Craftsman Dean McLellan of Holstein, Ontario to offer the course. McLellan invited Menno Braan of Hamilton and Kenny Davies from London to assist. Braan owns Whistling Dwarf Stone Works and has 16 years in the trade. Davies is a freelancer with five years experience. The workshop was primarily for landscape businesses, but others signed up too. Alex Chapman, a retired decorator who moved to Ameliasburg was interested in learning the craft. Ben Cuiler, 14, from Amherst Island, convinced his mother the workshop would contribute to his future goals. Most participants were members of Landscape Ontario. Paul Doornbos of Landsdowne brought two of his cutters to learn the craft, which he says is becoming a popular with customers. Phil Melnik, logistics and inventory man Perry Hartwick did a final check of coping stones on the 60-foot wall created at O’Hara Mill at UCS, and crusher operator Rob Williams Homestead Aug. 19-21, under the watchful eyes of Master Craftsman Dean McLellan and dry stone masons Menno Braan and Kenny Davies. Photo by Diane Sherman joined in to build the 60 foot wall . Hartwick says they will have another workshop next year. “Perhaps we can have the whole field walled in a few years,” he said. If you missed this dry stone event, Ferris Park in Campbellford is hosting a workshop this weekend.

bus for the first time as well. It depends how close they live to their school. If it’s farther away than a kilometre, they will be taking a bus. Joel Sloggett, chief administrative officer for Student Transportation Services of Central Ontario (STSCO), which oversees busing for the local school boards, said his company will be providing rides for more 2,000 junior kindergarten students starting in September. It’s “very important” that parents prepare their children to ride a bus because if a child doesn’t like the idea, “then you’ve got a problem.” To reduce the chance of that happening, STSCO operates a First Rider bus safety program. Half-hour sessions are being offered
in the area this week, at Lansdowne Place in Peterborough and Northumberland Mall in Cobourg. They will take place from 3 to 6 p.m. Aug. 26 and from 10 a.m to 1 p.m. Aug. 27. Young children who will be riding a school bus for the first time will learn the safety rules about getting on and off a bus, as well as about riding in one. They will also have the opportunity to take a 10-minute ride in a real school bus. “It puts their mind at ease,” Sloggett said, “without having the pressure of the first day of school” weighing on their minds when they do start classes. It also allays the concerns of parents who “get a sense this is going to be fine.” There is no charge and pre-registration isn’t required for the drop-in pro-

gram. “Anyone who attends will enjoy it and find it worthwhile,” Sloggett said. School buses don’t have seat belts but the seats are padded as is the area around them, and it’s “proven to be safer than anything.” And the kids, who are used to being strapped in car seats, “love it because obviously they feel that they’re a little more independent,” Sloggett added. Some parents are “really

Parents should also be aware they need to be at the pickup spot a few minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive in case it is running early, he said. Parents and guardians seeking more information can visit www.stsco.ca or call 705748-5500 (toll free 1-800757-0307). The buses deliver about 25,000 students in total to more than 120 schools, covering roughly 10 million km yearly on 600 routes.

The board’s policy is that no elementary student ride longer than an hour. Parents should prepare their children for trips longer than 10 minutes, Sloggett said.
$100,000 was set. “Trent Hills Fire Service is determined to raise the funds because we recognize all that Hector has done for our communities” in his tenure as mayor, Blake says in his message at www.gofundme. com/2km49uk. Macmillan, his wife, mother, four children, seven grandchildren and other family members “are scrambling trying to figure out ways to get him this surgery in Louisville, Kentucky. We are assured the procedure will buy Hector five to seven years or longer, and that something else will come along during that time. Without the procedure, he is not expected to make it to Christmas.” Blake said in an interview the fundraiser is also intended “to bring attention” to the “big picture” that includes all Ontarians. “If this is available, this

Macmillan said the equipment is, and has been successful in treating pancreatic cancer in limited use, but “the protocols are still being written.” Blake said his 67 firefighters have been touched by cancer as well, and the department has participated in the annual Relay for Life for many years. He emailed 187 people announcing the firefighters‘ fundraiser. “It‘s pretty overwhelming to know that I‘ve got that kind of support here,” Macmillan said. Although “the clock‘s ticking” on his surviving the year, if surgery isn‘t done, he has no intention of resigning midway through his fourth term. “I‘ll never quit my job, that‘s not my style, that‘s not my nature,” he said. “I made a commitment and I‘m going to fulfill it, [even] if it kills me.”

Bronze and heartbreak for Campbellford Cougars at Canadians By Bill Freeman Saskatoon – Third best in Canada and a bronze medal for posterity is worth celebrating and that’s what the Campbellford OPG Midget Cougars should do after reaching the podium for the second straight year at the Canadian Under 18 softball championships. But the Cougars, the defending Canadian silver medalists, had one of those once-in-a-lifetime “everything goes wrong” games in the semi-finals against cross-province rivals the Wellesley Wildcats watching leads of 9-0, 12-6 and 13-8 evaporate in the haze of a 23-13
loss. Campbellford and Wellesley are familiar with each other and have battled closely over the past decade as they moved up the age group ladder. Campbellford went into the nationals as the top-seeded Ontario team after winning the OASA elimination showdown then placed second at the OASA championship. In the end, the host Saskatoon Selects took gold with a 13-3 win over Wellesley. Campbellford lost 3-1 and 10-3 to the Selects over the course of the tourney. The lopsided semi-final loss was an anomaly with Wellesley
getting 20 hits and Campbellford slashing out 19. The surehanded Cougars also committed five errors and all-Canadian pitcher Ben Broek was tagged for 13 hits and 15 runs over 5.1 innings. It was a weird game that saw the Cougars pile up nine runs during their first at-bat with Wellesley cashing in 15 runs in their final two innings to take the lead. No one saw that coming. “It’s not that we played bad,” said coach Rod Torrance. “We were taking it to them pretty good after scoring nine in the first which is never really a good thing.”

The Wildcats are a good team and found some momentum as the Cougars relaxed a little too much on that lead, he said. They chipped away and nothing could slow them down. The two best pitchers in On-
tario, Broek and Dylan Lebold, both got pulled; Lebold didn’t make it past the first inning. Campbellford had a solid 5-1 preliminary round record that included big wins over Manitoba, Quebec and Newfoundland
and a 12-11 nail-biter over the other Ontario team from Chepstow. They were edged 3-1 by host Saskatoon. Broek made the preliminary round all-star team with 26 strikeouts and a 3.55 ERA.
It’s been ‘quite a ride’ for OPG Cougars
By Bill Freeman
Campbellford – With a second straight medal performance at the Canadian U-18 softball championships, the Campbellford Ontario Power Generation midget Cougars wrapped up a decade-long run to the top of the softball mountain. It might be some time until it happens again. Seven members of the bronze-winning OPG Cougars have been with head coach Rod Torrance for 10 years, moving from mite to midget while two others reached their eligibility age last year. “It’s been a blast but appears it has come to an end,” says Torrance. Keeping the team together as a junior squad would be a real
challenge, he says. “I just hope some of the boys stick together so I can watch them play a few times. It’s been a privilege for me to be involved with these tremendous athletes.” It all came to an end in an unexpected way in the national semi-final against long-time rivals Wellesley during a strange and ragged game. The Cougars are a “very special group,” said Torrance. “I don’t think there are many teams that have won medals at Canadian championships three consecutive years.” As bantams, they picked up a silver medal. “We’ve always been one of the teams to beat in Ontario and for a couple of years we were almost deemed unbeat-
able for a while,” Torrance said. “I really can’t think of a time when they didn’t show up for a meaningful game. Over the 10 years, there are only a handful of times I left the park unhappy with how they played. Mostly amazed at how good they played.” The team’s success has had a positive impact on minor softball in Campbellford, he says. “We have seen our numbers grow big-time.” This year there were three new rep teams competing provincially and close to 150 youth. “I think the success we have had, has had something to do with that as well as the success the Jays have had,” said Torrance. “We have had quite a ride.”

The Bay of Quinte Yacht Club hosted the 2016 Helly Hansen Shark Canadian Sailing Championships on the Aug 13-14 weekend. In all, 28 Shark class race crews converged on the local waters to thrash it out. After six races, Shark “Jonathan Livingston Seagull” from Kingston finished first overall and the Seagull’s team of Cole Robertson, Peter Van Rossem, and Melodie Gummer needed a bullet in the final race to clinch the Canadian title. Local boat, Tiger Niles, skippered by Peter Aker, claimed second place with Eager for More, skippered by Greg Cockburn, of Toronto, finishing third. Aker, the Regatta Chair, commented, “We had close,

Brighton youth represents Team Canada; bowls to silver, bronze medals By Sarah Hyatt Brighton – Thirteen-year-old Nicholas Blagojevic is making a name for himself internationally with tenpin bowling. The Brighton youth, who practises out of the Quinte region, has recently returned home with one silver medal and two bronze medals after representing Team Canada, in Fort Lauderdale. He’s heading out to Michigan to compete again this weekend, where it’s anticipated college coaches from the United States will be in attendance to scope out players. “My dad kind of got me addicted,” said Nicholas. Bowling is a family sport for the Blagojevics. His sister, Mackenzie, who’s 16, bowls too. Nicholas began playing the sport at just three years old.
At one point, he was practising in two leagues on the weekends – out of Belleville (Quinte Bowl) and in Kitchener. He’s serious about becoming a professional bowler one day, he says. This summer, he’s been hard at work, taking steps to make that happen, competing in two major tournaments recently at the national and international levels, after qualifying locally. First, he made his was to Indianapolis, to compete at the 2016 Junior Gold Championships. Nicholas joined more than 3,000, who were competing for a national title in their division and a $300,000 scholarship fund. In the 15-and-under boys’ category, Nicholas went up against more than 500 competitors. “He did pretty well, considering this is his first year in this age group,” said his proud
mom, Lisa. Competing at these levels was also a first for the Brighton youth this summer. Nicholas beat out about half of the competition, finishing in the middle of the contest. Over the years, Nicholas has travelled to compete in places like Chicago and Ohio even, to name a few. He previously represented Southern Ontario in a contest in Winnipeg in 2014. But to represent Team Canada – that’s his dream. He’s always trying to earn spots to compete, to improve his game and for the chance to earn some cash for college. “There’s a lot of opportunities for kids to earn scholarship money through this sport,” said Lisa. The Blagojevics are eager to raise some awareness surrounding tenpin bowling. “It is a competitive sport,”

said Andrew, Nicholas’ dad. “It’s huge in the United States.” Sometimes bowlers will play 10 games or more in a day – it’s not just a recreational sport, say the Blagojevics. There’s lane play and mental strategy to consider too. Based on his performance at the Junior Gold Championships and his bowling reputation, Nicholas was handpicked by the Canadian Tenpin Federation’s high-performance committee to represent Team Canada at the Tournament of the Americas, to compete in
Fort Lauderdale. It was a pretty amazing experience, says Nicholas, to be chosen as one of Canada’s junior boys. His goal is to compete for Team Canada again next year. He’d like to earn a spot to represent Canada for the entire year. “He’s very talented,” said Lisa. “He’s got a pretty decent average for his age around 180.” A perfect game is 300 – Nicholas’ best performance is 287. Nicholas received his silver medal in the boys’ doubles
category, one bronze for the mixed division, and his second bronze medal for his overall performance – for all games scored. The Brighton youth took on teams from the United States, Columbia and Puerto Rico, to name a few. It was a huge tournament, he said, but more fun than anything. Despite the stiff competition, the atmosphere is great, he says. The 13-year-old said he spent most of his time in Fort Lauderdale making friends from Puerto Rico.

Ivanhoe Storm heads east for championship
By Diane Sherman Madoc – It’s been a fast and furious first season for the newly formed Ivanhoe Storm softball team. After joining the Ontario Amateur Softball Association in the spring and qualifying for the Eastern Canadian championships, they were faced with financing the whole team to go to Conception Bay South, Nfld. for the playoffs. They rallied quickly, hosting barbecues, raffles, bottle drives, a ball tournament and an online auction. Reservations had to be made for the ferry, with bookings well in advance, accommodations arranged, flights booked and for those who were driving, an itinerary of rest stops, overnight lodging and food expenses all had to be considered. Team organizers Heather Needham and Tara McCann said community support was overwhelming with donations coming in from private citizens, businesses and service clubs.
“The list is too long to even try to put in the paper right now,” Needham said. “Just say people from all over this area pitched in. It is all the community who has supported us.” A final boost to the travel fund came Aug. 16 when the Madoc Lions Club presented the team with $1,000. Practice was a wash out after a full day of rain, so they met with the Lions at Centre Hastings park for the presentation. Their gratitude was evident with a cheer and applause for Lions members. Some players and their families were leaving on the weekend for the long drive to Newfoundland for the games August 25 - 28. They leave knowing their communities are cheering them on. The Ivanhoe Storm, OASA contenders in the Eastern Canadian Softball Championships, received a boost of $1,000 for travel costs from the Madoc Lions Club Aug.16 before heading out to Newfoundland for the playoffs.

Prince Edward Jazz Fest packs strikes a chord Picton - No doubt the music made them happy, but the last note of the final concert Sunday night in Picton’s Regent Theatre left many hundreds of people sad that it had to end. Despite intense heat, humidity and discomfort for much of the four days, most of the events drew large or capacity toe-tapping crowds. Juno award winning jazz vocalist Emilie-Claire Barlow set the pace for the first main event concert in the air-conditioned Regent Thursday night with a sell-out crowd, reported Creative Director Brian Barlow, followed by another sellout crowd Friday evening, Guido Basso and Friends, a tribute to local musician and flugelhorn player extraordinaire Basso, who adopted the
Consecon community as his home some years ago. The annual jazz mass Sunday morning, amid downpours of rain, also packed St. Mary Magdalene Anglican Church to capacity with extra chairs set up, made all the more fun by the surprise participation of Basso again, when a saxophone player had to cancel. Basso’s resounding flugelhorn solos made the church sound like it was built specifically for his horn, starting with the jazz prelude, “There Is No Greater Love Than This in All the World.” Sit-down jazz interludes during the hymns allowed the congregation to just enjoy and even applaud along on the extemporaneous solos by Basso, pianist Robi Botos, bass player Jodi Proznick and Barlow himself on drums.
Drawing huge crowd to the Wellington Market Saturday morning was the Chameleon Dixieland jazz band from Toronto. They later performed at other venues during the day including Bloomfield’s Main Street and the Huff ’s Estate Winery. Photo by Jack Evans
The rector, Archdeacon Charles Morris, who has presided over several such jazz masses in the church, encouraged the congregation to let themselves be moved my “more than just the music,” and contended that “there will definitely be jazz players in heaven.” The choir,
under Michael Goodwin, also got into the act, with a lively anthem “River of Dreams,” by Canadian jazz star Joe Sealy and ceremonial bits accompanied by the jazz quartet. Special guest for the service again was, Bishop Peter Mason from Kingston. Throughout the weekend, jazz combos and soloists arranged through Barlow, performed at various venues, including late-night bars, afternoons in churches and wineries and outdoors on Saturday
with the Chameleon Dixieland Jazz Band from Toronto. They drew a huge crowd to the farmer’s market at Wellington. The County’s next music festival, Sept. 17-18 and 24-25, goes to more serious music with the annual Classical Music Festival under Artistic Director Stephane Lemelin. This event too involves several venues across the County, but most of the main concerts are in the acoustically-rich St. Mary Magdalene Church.
Recent rainfall not enough to end Level 3 Low Water Condition While some areas in the Quinte Conservation watershed received a significant amount of rain from August 12 to 16 it wasn’t enough to lift the area out of a Level 3 Low Water Condition. As a result Quinte Conservation was still calling on people to reduce their water usage by 50 per cent by Aug. 17. Water Resources Manager Christine McClure said, “Over the last five days Belleville received the most rainfall in the watershed with approximately 70 millimetres, or 3 inches, of rain. Northern areas received much less rain – only about 25 millimetres, or 1 inch. The upper Napanee watershed and some areas in Prince Edward County received about 50 millimetres, or 2 inches, of rain. We need significant sustained rainfall over several
days in the northern parts of the watershed in order to replenish our rivers and streams.� Quinte Conservation confirms low water conditions using two criteria – precipitation and stream flow. In order to move out of the Level 3 Low Water Condition the Quinte Conservation watersheds need to receive a great deal more slow, steady rain to make up for the deficit experienced earlier in the year. Significant rainfall is required to see the flows increase in rivers and streams. McClure explains, “Our rivers and streams did see an increase in levels and flows because of the rain. Most have already peaked and are back in decline. We expect to see the Moira River flows
south of Tweed decrease over the next few days.� McClure adds, “Groundwater levels were helped somewhat by the recent rain but are still quite low for the season. People on private wells will need to be careful with their water use and monitor their wells in case they should go dry.� Quinte Conservation is continuing to ask residents and businesses to reduce their water use by 50 per cent until the water supply has been replenished. The local environmental agency will monitor precipitation and stream flows and provide updates. Quinte Conservation encourages everyone to use water wisely and apply water conservation measures. Information on water conservation can be found on the Quinte Conservation website at www.quinteconservation.ca. Quinte Conservation will be meeting with the Low Water Response Team in the first week of September to go over current conditions. A Level 3 Low Water Condition was declared by Quinte Conservation and the Low Water Response Team due to lack of rainfall and low flows in local rivers and streams on August 4. The Quinte Conservation watersheds have been experiencing low water conditions since the beginning of June. A Level 3 Low Water Condition indicates a failure of the water supply to meet demand. Restrictions on water use may be imposed by municipalities or under the provincial Water Resources Act. Low water conditions are ranked as Level 1, 2 or 3 based on a prolonged period of low flows or precipitation. A Level 1 is the least severe and Level 3 is the most severe. The environmental organization is encouraging any individuals or businesses in the Quinte watersheds who experience problems or hardships, such as wells going dry, to contact Quinte Conservation by calling 613-968-3434 or 613-354-3312 and dialing extension 129. Reports can also be emailed to info@quinteconservation.ca. These reports will help the organization track the impacts of the Low Water Condition. Well owners should take steps to protect their well pump. A licensed contractor can be hired to check water levels, make sure the pump is working and ensure the pump is protected in case the well should run dry.

One hundred year milestone for respected Norwood dealership By Bill Freeman Norwood – They’ve come a long way since the J.J. Duffus garage on Colborne Street. It was a full day of celebrations for J.J. Stewart Motors which marked its milestone 100th anniversary on Saturday, a remarkable achievement spanning two centuries, four generations, world wars, moonwalks and the transition from Ford to Dodge-DesotoChrysler and Chrysler-Dodge-Plymouth as well as 34 years of selling Massey Ferguson farm equipment. Along the way, there have been awards, accolades and a deep involvement in the community. “It’s nice to have everyone out to let them know how much we appreciate them. Without them, we’re not lasting 10 years, let alone 100 years,” said Dave Stewart who, with brother Mark, represents the fourth generation of Stewarts to guide the dealership which moved to its new flagship shop on Highway 7 in 2003. It all started on Colborne Street in 1916 with the JJ Duffus garage which Fred Stewart began to manage in
1918. He purchased the business in 1926 and his son Jack started working there on weekends eventually joining his dad in 1936 when it became Stewart Motors and a Dodge-DesotoChrysler dealership. It became a Chrysler-Dodge-Plymouth dealership in 1948 as well as a Massey Ferguson shop. They stopped selling farm equipment in 1982. Jack’s sons John and Ross joined in 1966 and it became known as J.J. Stewart Motors Limited. Mark and Dave officially joined the company in 1996. “It’s a neat thing to show the history of us today,” said Dave. “It’s a very proud day for grandpa, dad, Mark and I.” Dave admitted that it’s a “very rare thing” to be able to stay in your hometown and be part of a 100-year business legacy. “I led kind of a charmed life. I grew up in the dealership and got to go away for awhile and do my own thing and then returned to a business I enjoy and family that’s all kind of working towards the same goal. As a 44-yearold guy, to work with my grandpa, dad and my brother, it’s a pretty rare
thing.” “It’s something else to be in business 100 years to work beside your grandfather and have my son here and Dave’s kids and hopefully we can continue for a fifth generation,” his brother Mark added. “I’ve witnessed so many good things and I think this community owes them a real debt of gratitude and support,” long-time family friend and former reeve and mayor Doug Pearcy said. “What J.J. and his family have done for the whole community is astounding.” Jack (J.J.) Stewart, soon to be 102, was his usual dapper self as he greeted long-time friends and customers at the 100th anniversary celebrations of J.J. Stewart Motors. Photo by Bill Freeman

Working at McDonald’s can help you earn college credits Flipping burgers, serving fries and, of course, offering free smiles at McDonald’s may now represent the first steps towards a college diploma for employees of the fast-food chain. For the first time in Ontario, McDonald’s employees can now receive credits towards a college business diploma, thanks to a new agreement between Colleges Ontario and McDonald’s Restaurants of Canada Ltd. McDonald’s employees, who have completed specific training, will be eligible to be granted the equivalent of a first-year credit for a business or business administration program at one of 24 public colleges in Ontario, including Belleville’s Loyalist College. A statement sent out by Colleges Ontario says this may lead to significant cost-savings for eligible employees by reducing the number of courses and time required to earn a diploma – with potential savings of up to $4,500. “We’re thrilled to offer such an amazing program with McDonald’s Canada,” said Linda Franklin,
the president and CEO of Colleges Ontario. “This unique arrangement marks a new way of thinking about how employees can get access to further education and training without repeating learning they have already acquired. It’s the type of innovative partnership that colleges and businesses will be doing more of as Canada looks to strengthen its workforce and its economy.” “McDonald’s and its independent franchisees are committed to providing opportunities for people to learn life skills that will set them up for success – skills such as leadership, communications, hospitality and profit management,” said Sharon Ramalho, Chief People Officer of McDonald’s Canada. “We’re so pleased to work with the colleges on this new program that not only recognizes the quality of McDonald’s training, but also empowers employees to apply the skills they’ve learned to reach their career and academic goals.” For more information about McDonald’s Archways to Opportunity program visit www.ArchwaysToOpportunity.com
Organizations invited to apply for Community Hydration Stations The Healthy Kids Community Challenge Hastings Prince Edward is now accepting applications for Community Hydration Stations.

A Visit to the Smallest Desert in the World Imagine finding what’s said to be the smallest desert in the world right here in Canada. It’s located in our far north, in the Yukon, just outside the tiny village of Carcross. The Guinness Book of World Records has listed it as the world’s smallest desert, for it’s just a few sand dunes located on a mere 642 acres (260 hectares). This area, only about one square mile in size, was covered, once upon a time, by a large glacial lake, and as the glaciers retreated, a sandy lake bottom material was left behind. These sand dunes are constantly being worked over by the strong winds, so it’s difficult for much vegetation to become established. Therefore, the area looks rather desolate. It also seems somewhat out of place up here, surrounded by so many thickly forested areas. It’s a geological anomaly, a very unique sight. I checked out this desert for myself, and I read the posted sign stating that it’s known as “the smallest desert in the world”. I was told that hiking and sandboarding in these dunes are popular summertime activities, and I’ve had friends who have visited here in the winter and have actually snowboarded on these snow-covered dunes. It’s definitely an interesting destination! If you’re planning a summertime visit to the Yukon, I’d certainly recommend checking out this desert. The best way to explore it would be by hiking on the Carcross Dunes Trails. A 3 km., 5 km., and 10 km. loop trail can be found behind the Carcross School, and each of these footpaths is well marked. You’ll traverse the dunes themselves and the shore of nearby Bennett Lake. I’d also recommend spending some time in this historically intriguing village, too. It’s the traditional territory of the Carcross/ Tagish First Nation, and it still remains a stronghold of Tlingit culture. The village used to be known as Caribou Crossing, for huge numbers of caribou migrated through this area. However, the name was officially shortened to Carcross in 1904. During the Klondike Gold Rush, this became a popular stopping place for prospectors going to and coming from the gold fields at Dawson City. In fact, it was a Tagish First Nation person from this very area, Skookum Jim, who was one of the perpetrators of that renowned Gold Rush. He struck it rich in Dawson City, and then he built Carcross’s biggest house. When he died, he was buried in the local cemetery, and he left a large sum of money to a trust established to improve the health and education of First Nations People in the Yukon.
During that Gold Rush, the White Pass and Yukon Route was quickly built to take the gold-seekers by train between Skagway and Whitehorse. Carcross became an important stop along this route, and its rail depot, built in 1910, is now a designated Heritage Railway Station. There’s also a commemorative memorial in Carcross, for it was here that the last spike formerly completed the White Pass and Yukon Route. While in Carcross, be sure to visit the Carcross Visitor Information Centre and the Carcross/Tagish First Nation Carving Shed. This latter spot is a great place to watch master carvers making masks and totem poles. Wander through the Carcross Commons, where you’ll see several shops, including restaurants, an art gallery, and a display of totem poles. I’d also recommend checking out the nearby St. Saviour’s Anglican Church (built in 1904 and still used today), the Carcross Post Office (the oldest continually operated post office in Canada) and the Matthew Watson General Store (the oldest operating store in the Yukon). This latter building offers a great variety of goods, including rather expensive indoor/outdoor minimuks (footwear). There was also a sign posted in this store that read “Shoplifters will be shot. This is the law of the Yukon and we don’t call 911.” Carcross is located between Skagway, Alaska and Whitehorse, Yukon. Just south of Carcross is the abandoned town of Bennett (in British Columbia) and the Chilkoot Trail National Historic Site; they’re located on the south shore of Lake Bennett, and several avid hikers still visit this area every summer to tackle this historic Gold Rush Trail. Just north of Carcross, TICO#50007364

you’ll find the Caribou Crossing Trading Post, which offers dog cart rides, gold panning, a petting zoo, and a Wildlife Museum. A little further north is Emerald Lake, and its spectacular emerald-green colour makes it very noticeable. Continuing even north on the Klondike Highway, you’ll soon arrive at the Yukon’s capital city, Whitehorse (72 km. from Carcross). Carcross has a population of less than 500, but it’s definitely worth checking out. I found several well preserved historic buildings here, as well as one of the last relics of the Yukon’s steamship era (the SS
Tutshi). I also discovered that this wilderness area also offered some firstrate mountain biking trails. And, of course, there’s that nearby desert, too. For More Information: www.yukoninfo.com/region/ carcross

Basso likes his music mellow By Jack Evans Consecon - He has been called “the best damn flugelhorn player in the world,” but he made his name originally as a trumpet player. Guido Basso, who settled into the Consecon community in 1980, remains an active force in Canadian music-making with a reputation of having associated with just about anybody who is anybody in the world of big bands and jazz. That includes Dizzy Gillespie, Benny Goodman, Al Hirt, Pearl Bailey, Edith Piaf, Sammy Davis Jr. and dozens of others. Many, he lamented in a presentation in the Bloomfield hall on Tuesday, Aug. 15, are now gone. The evening was the official kickoff to this year’s annual Prince Edward County Jazz Festival, which continued for the rest of the week. It consisted of festival Creative Director Brian Barlow, a long-time musical associate and drummer, prodding him with questions about events and personalities in front of an audience of almost 30 people. Born in Montreal in 1937, Basso starting studying trumpet at the age of nine, getting his first professional gigs in his teenage years with local bands. He also studied at the Conservatoire de Music du Quebec. It was years later before Basso discovered the mellow sounds of a flugelhorn and quickly sought one out and mastered it. The difference, he explained, is “a trumpet starts as a straight tube and stays that way until it flows into a bell; a flugelhorn starts as a tube and keeps expanding gradually into a bell, making a mellower, pleasant sound compared to the trumpet’s shrill and piercing sound.” His first big break came when
band leader Vic Damone heard him and booked him for a tour, leading to exposure with other U. S. –based musicians and ultimately Pearl Bailey and her bandleader husband and drummer Louis Bellson. He recalls that while touring with them, for his 21st birthday, Dinah Washington happened to be in the audience and at Bailey’s request serenaded Basso with the “Happy Birthday “ song. When his work visa ran out, he thought of renewing it, but realizing he would face the draft, returned to Canada and Toronto, where he understood the music scene was more profitable. And so it was. From a back street George’s Spaghetti House, he got involved in CBC radio and television studio work and more, becoming a leading “contractor,” or person who arranges for players . He also took up mouth organ and conducting. (A person who could play more than one instrument could qualify for 50 per cent more.) A contractor also made a commission. But musicians who wanted future gigs would always try to keep on his good side. One time, the Toronto Symphony was starring a jazz singer so Guido was called upon to conduct it. “I was very nervous,” he said, but then he reminded the orchestra that “I may not be a great conductor, but I am a great contractor,” and the entire orchestra followed him perfectly. “That was a wonderful moment for me,” he said. At one point, he saw a musician with a blue-lacquered trumpet and wanted to get one himself. He found an instrument expert who could do it and got one in green, which helped him get a gig with the CBC’s first in-colour TV show. He also recalled when media magnate Ted Rogers hired him as
l a u n n A 5 1
a contractor to provide a band for his daughter’s engagement party. He booked a young woman who was a piano player trying to break into singing, Diana Krall. Her first official gig as a singer was a huge success and she went on from there. Both Barlow and Basso were somewhat critical of famed band leader Benny Goodman who proved to be difficult to work with and “cheap” in his treatment of musicians. Basso was the contractor who put together a band for a CBC show with Goodman conducting. Goodman challenged the long hair of the drummer Basso hired, then the beard of the next one and even complained about the third, driving Basso to frustration. When Goodman wanted to re-arrange the entire seating system, used effectively for the best sound by CBC engineers, Basso said: “With due respect Mr. Goodman, go f--- yourself.” Basso was to take part in an allstar Canadian jazz band concert on the following Friday as one of the major concerts in the Regent Theatre for this year’s festival. Basso and his wife remain happy in their county home with their 44 acres backing onto Wellers Bay. But he also has plenty of gigs, both in the area and abroad. Her can also bask in receiving the Orde4r of Canada in 1994. Asked about new developments in jazz, Basso proclaimed that he does not like modern young musicians going too far with their improvisations. “It is no longer musi9c, it’s just sound effects, and unpleasant,” he said.

Get down, dirty and do your bit at Grapes of Wrath By Ross Lees Prince Edward County – If you like getting down and dirty and doing your bit for three important charitable organizations, you’re going to love the Grapes of Wrath mud run on Sept. 10. And the best part? It takes place at a winery! A challenging obstacle course that is laid out through Hillier Creek Estates Winery, this physically grueling and mentally demanding course will give you all you want and more. Dubbed the Grapes of Wrath Extreme Romp ‘n Stomp, the beneficiaries of the fundraising aspect of the challenge include the Canadian Cancer Society’s HPE and Brighton Community Office, Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation and Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation. Not only have organizers expanded the ob-

stacles, they have also opened it up to youth aged 14 to 17. Located at 46 Stapleton Rd., Hillier, in Prince Edward County, the course has grown to include 21 grueling obstacles designed by Canadian Military volunteers, firefighters and volunteer contractors and has challenged the strength, agility and stamina of more than 720 participants as they ran under and through grapevines and splashed through the winery’s namesake creek. To date, the event has raised $120,000 and always receives tremendously positive feedback from participants into challenging themselves and their teams to a military-style obstacle course designed to test physical and mental stamina. “In 2015, with obstacles such as a 14-foot wall climb, monkey bars and a culvert crawl, we saw competitors rely on each other to get up, over and through various obstacles and make it to the finish line together,” noted Kemp Stewart, proprietor of Hillier Creek Estates Winery. With Scotiabank on board as the title sponsor, teams and competitors will be given every opportunity to further challenge their personal and physical limits while raising money for cancer care in the local community. “The third annual Grapes of Wrath will push the participants even harder this year and test their strength and teamwork,” said Laura-Lee Hogan, manager of stewardship

and events for the TMH Foundation. “New obstacles for 2016 have been put into place and, if racers are looking to get down and dirty, there will be even more opportunities to ‘play’ in the mud at Hillier Creek Estates this year, with some of the new and reworked
obstacles on the course.” Organizers of this event have always promised “there will be mud” on this course, and Hogan stresses that point once again this year.

The Good Earth:
Dan Clost I spent a bit of time chatting with Michael Richardson the other day. For those of you not familiar with Mike, he is one of a few Board Certified Master Arborists in Canada. He started off with a B.Sc. in Forestry and moved up from there. When you look in the back of Michael’s rolling laboratory you will see instruments that some of the best-equipped university silviculture departments don’t have. Chatting with Mike about trees requires careful consideration. Like
Don’t feed the trees
most experts, he will listen to the “depth� of a question and then respond in kind. It’s similar to the trickle-down theory, if you give a nod at an inappropriate time, for example, when you hear phrases such as “fertilizer must be present in the ionic form�, that is when the downward flow stops. Gosh, GR, there are a lot of impressively polysyllabic constructs (really, really big words) and this Richardson fellow knows them... all. Fortunately, Mike and I have known each for a very long time so he starts with “tree�, “root�, “soil�, “hot� and so on. Here is the reason for calling Mike and the reason for penning this column. After our recent drought, we received a disturbing number of telephone calls asking us how much fertilizer trees should be given now to help them recover. One caller had already fed his Japanese maple a whole package of the blue watersoluble fertilizer and wanted to make sure that was enough. Another had seen the leaves on his oak tree turn papery brown and wanted to green them up again. GR, these examples are not meant to poke fun at
anyone; in fact, they’re here to illustrate a line of reasoning which many tree-lovers share. Water equals food which means drought equals starvation, i.e. if p then q. This conditional reasoning makes sense only if q were true; and it is not. However, we’re digressing into a moot area. Established trees have been through many droughts and survived. Unless something traumatic has happened to cause a weakness, they will survive again. Recently planted trees and shallow rooted plants will clearly benefit from supplemental watering. (Check the archives of this newspaper for Vol10 No29 Help Your Trees Now.) For the moment, you can give a quick check of moisture by digging a 12� hole at the tree’s drip line (the outer circumference of the canopy.) If the soil is cool and moist, you’re good; if not read the referenced column. Perhaps the most damaging factor of this
drought is not the lack of precipitation but the heat wave that accompanied it. The ground is hot, way too hot. If you’re living down in The County ( capitalized because while we all live in a county somewhere, only the folks in Prince Edward identify themselves as being “County-ites�) and have recently planted cedars, you’re looking at multi-hued hedgerows of brown, grey and white but not green. Cedars are shallow rooted and those roots are cooking. Cool the soil by mulching to a depth of 3�; don’t use heat absorbing black coloured material. Mike says that lowering the soil temperature will result in increased white root growth which will allow the tree to take up

water and nutrients again. So, when can we fertilize our trees? Perhaps, with older healthy trees, you might not. For young trees, newly planted trees, and those with environmental challenges, e.g. urban trees, wait for the autumnal equinox- a good indicator of when nutrients will be channeled to root development. For some trees that don’t recognize autumn, e.g. Gleditsia, aka honey locust, never fertilizer in the fall. If you do, be ready to prune out a lot of winter kill next spring. By the way, Mike does advise using a fish/kelp supplement at any time- think of this as a vitamin shot not a meal. For now, hug a tree just don’t feed it.

Lots of good fish in the bay By Jack Evans Glenora - The towering four-storey limestone structure at the Glenora Ferry south side is historically and architecturally significant. But the work of the Glenora Fisheries Research Station, which it has been for almost 60 years, is not confined to the building. Operating a fleet of boats from open steel fishing boats to a 65-foot tug-trawler especially designed for the wild waters of Lake Ontario, the station’s work spans the entire Bay of Quinte with annual on-site research and monitoring, plus, in conjunction with New York State fisheries officials, the entire Lake Ontario. Regular checks of water temperatures and nettings to assess the numbers, sizes, health and variety of fish species and bottom creatures are made every year, giving the Glenora station the most impressive collection of fish data in North America over its close to 60 years, says Steve McNevin, operations supervisor. In mid-August, the station sends out crews to specifically monitor the Bay of Quinte, making trawler net runs and planting gillnets near both Belleville and Trenton. The results, said McNevin, are impressive. Said McNevin: “We caught 19 different species at Belleville and 18 different species at Trenton which really shows the diversity and health of the Bay of Quinte fish community.” To reinforce that, during the morning trawling session on Aug. 15, he looked at the load in the net and commented: “The Bay of Quinte has a huge biomass of fish.”
The monitoring follows a set system to maintain accurate comparisons. The same type of nets, the same time of year, the same location and the same number of trawler runs. The abundance of carp and gar pike was obvious. Neither species is recorded, just measured and dumped back into the bay. But all the rest are important either as sport or commercial fishing or feed for larger fish. This applies particularly to small species like alewife, gizzard shad and spotted shiner. Another significant indicator is the number of young fish, one year to three years old, especially walleye, which forecasts good fishing for the next few years. In the bay, “We had two record-setting years for young walleye the past two years. The numbers of young walleye this year are not as high, but this is not unusual as walleye spawning success varies greatly from year to year,” he added. He predicts an outstanding year for anglers for 2017, when the fisheries station marks its 60th year. Species at Trenton include: walleye, yellow perch, alewife, gizzard shad, spotted shiner, brown bullhead, trout perch, white perch, white bass, rock bass, pumpkinseed, bluegill, largemouth bass, freshwater drum (sheepshead), logperch, white sucker , channel catfish and round goby (invasive species.) The list for Belleville reads exactly the same. He also commented: “The bay is loaded with largemouth bass.” As the station’s 45-foot fishing trawler, itself 50 years old, churned on one of its four regular quarter-mile runs, McNevin reviewed that in the 1950s, nutrient loads turned the bay’s wa-

ter murky, cutting out sunlight from the bottom to nourish plant growth. With the Great Lakes cleanup in full swing, the process got a boost from the influx of zebra mussels. They sucked up the algae and helped clear the water for larger fish. Both ducks and whitefish quickly adapted to eating the mussels. All this reduced the impact of what at one point was considered a serious problem. The bay is now a healthy, productive body of water, albeit with zebra mussels still festooned on dock legs, boat motor components left in the water and water intake pipes. A wide range of skill sets is involved in these operations. Al McIntosh, a former commercial fisherman, is licensed skipper for the tug, needing to set the right courses and speeds to set the nets and haul them in. The crew managing the nets must have
highly specific experience and training as they wind the net off and on the spools. They then dump the haul into large buckets for icing, sorting and storing. All specimens are taken back to the station for laboratory analysis, sizing, weight, diet, age (from scales and an inner ear stone) and more. A battery of professional fish biologists are involved in this process, part of the station’s full time complement of 20 people, doubled in the summer with student help. Current projects for the Glenora Station include a new one, trying to restore deep water cisco, once a native species in the lake. Others are Atlantic salmon restoration, American eel restoration, Lake Trout restoration, round whitefish-spawning population study and Hamilton Harbour walleye reintroduction.
Chambers call for strategy to support health science sector At a time when the province is trying to address the major challenge of fiscal sustainability, The Bay of Quinte Regional Chambers of Commerce are suggesting a different approach to fixing the province’s health care system and putting patients first. In a recently released report, the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce and the Belleville Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Ontario Chamber of Commerce are calling on the provincial government to turn its focus from budget cuts to empowering the health care system to become an economic and productivity driver that is responsive to emerging innovation being developed in our own province. The report, Adopting Our Advantage: Supporting a thriving health science sector in Ontario, is the third in a series of health policy reports and is part of the OCC’s year-long Health Transformation Initiative. The chambers are calling on the government to open the doors to
the wealth of talented researchers, scientists, and entrepreneurs in the health space. The report agues that the province can do a better job of empowering these innovators and connecting them with health care providers, so that all points in the health sector are working together to improve patient care. The appointment of a Chief Innovation Strategist by the government of Ontario would begin that conversation. “In order for the government to receive a return on its investments in research, and patients in the Quinte Region to gain access to the kind of innovations that will improve their quality of life, there needs to be a unified strategy to support Ontario’s health science sector,” said Suzanne Andrews, General Manager of the Quinte West Chamber, in a statement. “We are not supporting our own discoveries. If we were able to change that, it would have a great impact on our provincial economy, on our provincial health
industry and on our local health care system.” The provincial government invests a significant amount of money into research funding, education and seed development funds, the report notes. However, the chambers believe, if the companies that emerge from this environment are unable to access the markets or resources they need to scale their business, they are more likely to leave the province causing Ontario taxpayers to lose out. “With innovation being identified as a priority at both the provincial and federal levels, now is the time for government to adopt a cohesive strategy to address the challenges facing this sector,” said Bill Saunders, CEO of the Belleville Chamber. “We need to take hold of the opportunity presented by our strengths in health sciences that will lead to a self-sustaining, vibrant health economy.”

About Glenora Fisheries research By Jack Evans The Glenora Research Station near Picton was buit in 1872 as an iron foundry to make water turbines. During the First World War it was converted to a munitions plant. Purchased by the province in 1922 it was turned into a fish hatchery for whitefish and lake trout until 1957 when it was dedicated to fisheries research. At the time, commercial fishing was a major industry in Prince Edward County, Brighton area and other communities in the eastern Lake Ontario area. Major renovations to modernize the facility were made in 1986 though 1989, during which time the staff was housed elsewhere. Now part of the recently renamed Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, the staff looks after water quality and
fisheries health throughout Lake Ontario, the Bay of Quinte, East Lake and West Lake and the St. Lawrence River. There remain some 46 active commercial fishing operators in the area with an annual harvest estimated at $450,00, mostly yellow perch and sunfish. There is also a major impact to the economy from sport fishing with at least one major fishing competition per week most of the summer, bringing in entry fees and visitors from far and wide. Anglers catch more than 50,000 walleye annually in the Bay of Quinte. A major new addition to the station’s resources is a 65-foot steel trawler, built in Wheatley, Ont. and coming to Picton to allow safe travel on Lake Ontario and featuring high-tech special equipment.
