Stirling-Rawdon celebrates

Canada DayBy Richard TurtleEvents - Stirling - Hundreds of people arrived at the Stirling Fairgrounds last weekend to enjoy a free barbecue, rec-ognize the volunteer efforts of fellow community members and celebrate Canada Day with plenty of fl ags and fi reworks.

Saturday evening municipal staff and offi cials were out in force, many with help from their spouses, cooking up 500 hamburgers and 300 hot dogs, handing out ice cold drinks and serving cake to a long lineup of visitors before cleaning up the temporary kitchen afterwards. In the background during much of the evening, the children crowded around a pair of bouncy castles and a climbing wall furnished by Extreme Rush, listened to the Solitary Man performance of Neil Diamond music by Belleville’s Tim Hunt and put on a decorative face thanks to the talents of Starlight Face Art artists. Also joining in the fun was Farmtown Park’s Tow Mater who arrived to the cheers of several cartoon fans and took up a conspicuous parking spot to pose for photos.

Following dessert, Stirling-Rawdon Mayor Rodney Cooney briefl y

addressed the crowds, thanking them for their attendance and discussing the importance of volunteerism. Municipal leaders, at their discretion and based on submissions from the community, annually recognize the efforts of individuals and organizations, he explained, and this year honoured the work of the Stirling Agricultural Society, and a trio of Good Neighbours.

Citing their organization and hosting of various community events from the Stirling Fair to the spring auto fl ea market Cooney says the society has accomplished much over the years. The award was presented to Agricultural Society President Jason Detlor who offered his thanks to colleagues and the people of Stirling-Rawdon for their continued support.

Recognized posthumously was John Moore, who Cooney explained was involved in many ways with his community, “and known as the unannounced mayor of Spring Brook. … John was always there to help. The award was accepted by family members Mike and Sharon Moore. Receiving the “Youth at Heart” award for their

Mayor Rodney Cooney and his council were kept busy last Saturday evening as the municipality hosted its Canada Day barbecue and � reworks display.

Motocross track a contentious issueBy Brett MannNews - Tweed - An unusually large number of people were drawn to Tweed’s June council meeting to hear delegations on the contentious issue of a proposed motocross race track at the Cassidy farm on Old Hungerford

Road. Over 40 serious, quiet and atten-tive citizens listened to John Brewer’s position opposing the track and to a delegation by Paula Cassidy, supported by presentations from Ryan Lahey and Bob Millard from the business pro-gram at Loyalist College, in support of

the project. Ms. Cassidy had previous-ly requested rezoning of her property to accommodate the track and coun-cil had required a professional noise level assessment before considering the request. This assessment has been

work in the community were Jim and Betty Redcliffe.

And despite the loss of a $2,000 federal grant, in the past used to cover the cost of the evening’s fireworks, municipal councillors opted to make up the difference in order to maintain the status quo. And the hundreds of

visitors, some on lawn chairs and blankets and others perched in pickup truck boxes for the show, were not disappointed. Shortly after nightfall and accompanied by a fairgrounds of oohs and ahs, the pyrotechnics began lighting up the sky over the soccer fields marking Canada Day in Stirling-Rawdon.

There was plenty of red and white on display as Stirling-Rawdon Treasurer Roxanne Hearns, Deputy-mayor Wilfred Shier and Mayor Rodney Cooney served cake during Canada Day celebrations at the fairgrounds.

Good Neighbour John Moore was recognized posthumously by the munici-pality of Stirling-Rawdon for his volunteerism. The award was accepted by John and Sharon Moore, pictured here with Mayor Rodney Cooney.

Continued from page 3Motocross track a contentious issuecompleted and Ms. Cassidy was again asking council to allow the rezoning.

Mr. Brewer raised an number of concerns in his presentations, questioning “the effi cacy of the noise test and its interpretation” and the “impact on the environment, wildlife habitat, quality of life, real estate values, conformity with trailer park bylaws, road and signage upgrades and policing and security costs.” The applicants for rezoning have also changed their business plan, Brewer maintained, and “have added four-season use.” Old Hungerford Road would need upgrades for the increased traffi c a motocross track would bring, he argued, and because of the high cost of motorcycles and accessories few families could afford to use the facility. Mr. Brewer also questioned the economic benefi ts to the community of the track and thought it unlikely to provide meaningful employment opportunities for local youth. An adversarial tone was evident in the comments of both Ms. Cassidy and Mr. Brewer who implied her motives were primarily fi nancial.

Ms. Cassidy responded, “I must commend Mr. Brewer and his handful of opposition on their strategy to steer attention away from the true nature of our zoning application. Their original concern over noise and motorbike riders has now evolved to serious issues with bicycles and bicycle riders, and even written unease of my being too confi dent a woman … this appears to be a perpetual evolution of complaining against the possibility of change for the youth of Tweed.” She pointed out that she had met council’s “only remaining” requirement for a noise level assessment “and now you all have that assessment, stamped and in your hands.” The report

“was positive in terms of meeting MOE guidelines and comparatively to noise impact levels at other Tweed events.” Ms. Cassidy introduced her “community partners” Ryan Lahey, with Enactus, a Loyalist college community development program and Bob Millar, professor of the business administration program at Loyalist. Both spoke in support of the motocross project with a focus on the tourism and economic benefi ts they expect would fl ow from it.

“Do you believe in development at any expense?” Councillor Don DeGenova asked of the delegation. Mr. Millar responded that he always considered social, economic and environmental factors in his analysis. DeGenova noted that council had received about 16 letters in support of the motocross track of which eight were from outside the Tweed municipality. Forty-four letters were received in opposition to the track. “This hasn’t been an occasion on which people have been working together,” he said, adding that many people feel their quality of life and property values will be adversely affected by the project.

Councillor Justin Bray appeared to support the rezoning application in general terms, citing the need for development in Tweed, a municipality with one third the population density of neighbouring municipalities and consequently with proportionally higher tax burdens. “One thing I have learned is that there is not one thing that comes in this town that everybody loves,” observed Bray. “Are we going to continue to say ‘no’ to everything that comes through?” Mayor Jo-Anne Albert stated that council will deal with the issue at its next meeting “when we’ve all had a chance to read the material and talk about it.”

By Judy BackusEvents - Marmora - As the sun set over Crowe Lake on a picture perfect June 28, dozens of decorated boats lined

up for Crowe Lake Waterway Associa-tion’s annual lighted tour designed to celebrate both the coming summer sea-son and Canada Day.

Boat parade and fireworks herald Canada DayDocks were filled with flag-waving

residents as the boats, some festooned with balloons others with music blast-ing, floated by, with calls of Happy Canada Day being exchanged across the water. Once the parade had made its traditional circuit of the lake, it was time for the fireworks, detonated from a

barge located on the lake, to begin.The impressive display of pyrotech-

nics filled the air with repeated blasts of vivid colour, dazzling light and thun-derous sound while onlookers, some on land and hundreds in boats, battled an impressive onslaught of ravenous mos-quitoes. The fun concluded at 10:30 with a grand finale which included the

traditional crescendo of sound and danc-ing lights.

As one young visitor said of the celebration, “The boat parade was very cool and I think the fireworks were amazing too.” His younger brother added, “I liked the one that looked like a two-headed crocodile. It was awesome!”

The traditional kickoff to summer, headed by Crowe Lake Waterway Association, took place on the calm waters of the lake on June 28 when a parade of decorated boats made its way around the lake with boaters and spectators exchanging Canada Day greetings. Photo: Judy Backus

Once the parade was over and the skies sufficient-ly darkened, it was time for a blast of fireworks, detonated from a barge on the lake, to send both light and sound across the water. Photo: Judy Backus

LETTER TO THE EDITORCON’d again

Dear Editor,When my local Member of Parlia-

ment, Rick Norlock, was seeking election, he and his party constantly repeated the phrase that a vote for them was a vote for jobs, the economy and long-term prosper-ity. Silly me, I thought that was what they were going to do for us. It now appears that they meant that they would take those things away from us. Instead of fighting for us, our MP is trying to bully us into accepting a one-lane bridge over the Mur-ray Canal. He doesn’t seem to understand that a one-lane bridge will cost us jobs, hurt our economy, and limit the long-term prosperity of the area.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the problem, some senior civil ser-

vants in Parks Canada, with the support of our MP, have embarked on a project to replace our two-lane bridge with a single lane bridge and traffic lights. Unbeliev-ably, they claim that they are replacing what we have now, a two-lane bridge, “in kind” with a one-lane bridge the same width. Unfortunately, they say the code has changed since our present bridge was built and it is now too narrow to be a two-lane bridge. Also, they say that there’s no money to widen our bridge because they have to pay off the deficit. A deficit which they caused, by the way.

They are also using scare tactics telling us that the bridge is no longer structurally safe. Yet they have not backed up their claim with any analysis or engineering

information despite repeated requests to do so.

Mr. Norlock also claims that only a small group of unhappy malcontents are complaining. Has he forgotten that the municipal councils of the three largest communities in the area affected have also sent letters opposing the plan?

Three large businesses: Brighton Speedway, Brighton Recycling and the Barcovan Golf Club will be directly af-fected by the reduced traffic flow, as will many other smaller businesses in the area. Responding emergency vehicles will also be affected. Finally, this route is also a main artery leading to many tourist attrac-tions in Prince Edward County.

Conveniently enough, the borders of this riding will be changing under the new riding distribution system and Mr. Nor-lock, by his own admission, has chosen to run in an adjacent riding, leaving this mess behind him.

C’mon Mr. Norlock, we dare you to show us the strength of your convictions and to run in this riding, or are you more concerned about your own job, your own economics, and your own long-term pros-perity?

Bob Larocque,Brighton

OPINION

Gwynne Dyer

By Terry BushBest place to live on the planet, eh

Editorial - It should surprise no one that most of us consider Canada the greatest country in the world, even folks who have never set foot outside the province. We are so fortunate to live in a country like Canada, that we take our freedoms, healthcare, natural resources and of course our variable climate for granted. Others are nowhere near as lucky as we are in this country and sometimes it just takes a bit of travel to realize this.

My wife Mare and I have been fortunate enough to have travelled to quite a few destinations; you might call travelling on the cheap, “our thing.” It’s on these voyages that we really find out how lucky we are and what the world thinks of us. When you see the abject poverty that most of the world deals with, it makes coming home that much easier. But it’s other folks who really drive it home; how fortunate we are to be Canadians.

When we backpacked through Morocco 15 years ago, we were at a stage in our travelling lives when we really liked to wing it. Ticket there, ticket home and nothing else booked. It was a bit hairy at times, especially trying to find a room for the night but we always managed and just considered it part of the adventure.

When we took the Marrakesh Express to you know where and made it into the old city, it was indeed one of those somewhat disconcerting occasions. As we went from hotel to hotel, it was impossible not to see how the other half lived. Straw mattresses on dirt floors posed as hotel rooms for a couple of bucks a night. We were feeling quite extravagant after our gruelling overnight trip so we looked for something pricey in the $10 range. We thought we’d found what we were looking for at a nice place (it’s all relative) but the stern-looking man behind the desk said he had no rooms. His face said something different so we pulled out our Canadian passports and in French said we were from Canada, not where he thought we were from.

It took him all of two seconds to come around the desk with a big smile on his face to shake our hands and said he did indeed have a room for us. He went on to say that his goal in life was to be able to send his daughter to university in Quebec as French is everyone’s second language in Morocco.

On the same trip we travelled along the French Riviera and stopped in Nice. It was there we met a teenage girl behind the hotel counter who upon seeing our passports, told us at great length about her fascination with Anne of Green Gables and her plans to one day visit Prince Edward Island. And if I’m not mistaken, she mentioned that she thought we might be Canadians when we came in because we were so polite.

Later on the same trip, we boarded a train from Germany to Holland and ran into a fellow Canuck who was working in the Netherlands. He told us to be prepared when we got off at our stop in Holland as people would come up to us when they saw the Canadian flags on our backpacks. We thought he was joking but sure enough within minutes of stepping off the train, an elderly Dutch gentleman walked up to us, extended his hand and said, “Thank you for liberating my country.”

When we flew into Istanbul on a different adventure, we left the airport and shared a taxi with a guy from New York City, eventually staying in the same hotel. When it was time to check out, the desk clerk apologized and said he couldn’t take credit cards at the moment because the phone line was down. Our American friend threw a fit in the hotel lobby, accusing the Russian clerk of lying. Grudgingly he paid with a traveller’s cheque and stormed out the door. We paid with cash as we always make sure we have the currency of the country we’re visiting on hand. I apologized for our new friend’s outburst and the clerk smiled and said, “Don’t worry about it. We know the difference between your two countries.”

When we travelled to New Zealand, people were extremely friendly. “We know what it’s like,” they’d say, “being a small country next to an overpowering one.”

And in Australia, they liked Canadians too. Being part of the Commonwealth and all, they felt we were connected to one another.

And, as I’ve already mentioned in a different column, we were once again proud of the country we live in when a cabbie in Nepal remarked that Canada was helping out his country and he was glad that human rights mattered to Canadians. Kind of makes a couple of travellers proud of where they’re from. And at the same time it makes you understand why some people from a neighbouring country, sew Canadian flags on their gear when they travel.

Canada is a word that opens many doors abroad. And that’s just one more reason to be a proud Canadian.

Editorial - “The opposi-tions in Hong Kong should u n d e r s t a n d and accept that Hong Kong is not an indepen-dent country. They should not think that they have the abil-ity to turn Hong

Kong into Ukraine or Thailand,” warned the Global Times, the most aggressively nationalistic of China’s state-run newspapers. Clearly, some important people in the Communist regime are very unhappy about the “civil referendum” on democracy that has just ended in Hong Kong.

The referendum, which has no official standing, was organized by pro-democracy activists in response to a “white paper” published by the Chinese government in mid-June that made it clear there could be no full democracy in Hong Kong. News about the referendum was completely censored in China, but almost 800,000 people in Hong Kong voted in it. They all said, “yes” to democracy.

The referendum was really a tactical move by Hong Kong’s pro-democracy camp in a long-running tug-of-war with Beijing over how the “Special Administrative Region” should be governed. The voters were asked to choose between three different options for choosing Hong Kong’s Chief Executive—and all of those methods involved popular participation. That is to say, democracy.

That’s not how the Chief Executive is chosen now. He is “elected” by a 1,200-person “Election Committee,” most of whose members are directly or indirectly chosen by the Chinese Communist authorities in Beijing and their local representatives.

That’s hardly democratic, but it is written into the “Basic Law” that was negotiated between London and Beijing before Britain handed the colony back in 1997.

The whole negotiation was a series of compromises between the British view that Hong Kong’s inhabitants should enjoy democratic rights, and the Chinese regime’s determination to have ultimate control of the city. One of those compromises was a promise that by 2017, twenty years after the hand-over, the Chief Executive would be chosen by direct elections.

So democracy was raising its ugly head again, and Beijing sought to head off the danger by publishing its recent white paper. There would indeed be direct elections in 2017, it said, but all the candidates would be selected by a “nominating committee” whose members would still be chosen, directly or indirectly, by Beijing—and all the candidates would have to be “patriotic.” In China, as in most dictatorships, “patriotic” means “loyal to the regime.”

The instant response in Hong Kong was the “civil referendum,” in which about 800,000 of Hong Kong’s 3.5 million registered voters have cast a vote in polling stations, online, or on a phone app.

Every one of those voters was voting for full democracy, since the referendum asked them to choose between three proposed methods for nominating candidates for Chief Executive, ALL of which involved direct public participation. And while 800,000 people is only a quarter of the adult population, it is almost half the number of people (1.8 million) who actually voted in the last elections for Hong Kong’s legislature.

The Global Times has denounced the referendum as an “illegal farce” and “a joke.” Hong Kong’s current chief Executive, Leung Chun-Ying, has loyally echoed Beijing’s view

that “Nobody should place Hong Kong people in confrontation with mainland Chinese citizens.” After all, “mainland Chinese citizens” have no democratic rights at all, and the Communist regime wants to keep it that way.

But it doesn’t have to be a confrontation. As part of the “one country, two systems” deal that was negotiated with Britain 20 years ago, Beijing has already accepted that Hong Kong would enjoy “a high degree of autonomy, except in foreign and defence affairs” for the next 50 years. That includes the rule of law and civil rights like freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, free media and so on.

Mainland Chinese citizens do not have those rights, and the example of Hong Kong has not so far incited them to demand them. So why should a democratically elected Chief Executive in Hong Kong drive those 1.3 billion mainland Chinese citizens to demand democracy either?

Maybe the Chinese people will demand democracy eventually, but that is far likelier to come about as a result of a severe recession that destroys the Communist regime’s reputation for fostering high-speed economic growth, which is its sole remaining claim on their loyalty. It won’t come from some desire to emulate Hong Kong. So there is room for a deal between Beijing and Hong Kong that gives the latter more freedom, if everybody stays calm.

There are probably even people inside the Communist regime in Beijing who would welcome a demonstration in Hong Kong that a little more democracy for Chinese people does not necessarily lead to chaos, civil war and secession. (Which is, of course, what their hardline rivals constantly predict would be the inevitable result of diluting the dictatorship.)

8 Central Hastings News - Thursday, July 3, 2014

By Diane Sherman News - Madoc - The Municipal-ity of Centre Hastings heard a brief of their 2013 audit from Collins Barrow public auditors June 25.

Auditors Richard Steiginga and Veronica Mason indicated a slight decrease in overdue tax arrears was good progress, now at 12 per cent, down by four per cent from last year.

Steiginga noted “that like most municipalities, Centre Hastings saw a decrease in capital assets due to greater amortization [deprecia-tion] of intangible assets.”

The audit was thorough and shows the municipality in reason-ably good stead.

Public works superintendent Roger Taylor reported a shared service agreement has been set up with Stirling-Rawdon to tender for surface treatment materials, in keeping with cost-saving goals set out by council. The materials are for repairs to the eastern section of Hollowview Road.

Taylor suggested council re-pave the section of St. Lawrence Street west from the fi re hall to Hill Street during the same time that Madoc Township resurfaces their section of the road from Hill Street to Highway 7, which is slated for work this summer.

He noted the cost, to rip up the

failing pavement and restructure it, would be about $30,000.

He recommended half that cost come from the Urban Paving Bud-get, with the balance from Gas Tax funding, but, that council should “seriously consider taking advan-tage of this opportunity.”

He requested permission to partner with Madoc Township in tendering for the job.

The agreement to take over management of the landfi ll site from Madoc Township was fi nal-ized at the June 25 meeting.

The Best of Hearing Centre closed their offi ce in the Tri-Area Medical Centre the end of June, stating in a letter to council, that the business was “fi nancially unable to maintain the offi ce … due to insuf-fi cient revenue from this location.”

Sharon Ann Canzi, proprietor of the hearing centre, asked council if they could arrange to sublet the space until her lease is over the end of 2015. Canzi stated she does not know the area and could not fi nd a suitable business to sublet Suite D where she opened three and a half years ago.

The Economic Development Committee recommended council approve funding of $3,500 for an Educational Picnic Shelter to be allocated to the Boat Launch Com-mittee for the project.

Councillor Shelby Kramp-Neuman could not agree with that proposal, which was also rejected by Councillor Mike Kerby.

Kramp-Neuman argued an in-vestment ($6,000) into an air con-ditioning unit for Arts Centre Hast-ings would be a “good economic investment” also. She approved the committee minutes with ex-ception of the motion to fi nance the shelter.

The next council motion, to accept that decision was taken in a separate vote, which stood in a stalemate until Mayor Owen Ketcheson used his voting privi-lege to swing the vote in favour of the shelter funding.

The Community Improvement Committee has approved applica-tions for funding from Bush Furni-ture, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and Madoc Trinity United Church.

Council heard from the Munici-pal Property Assessment Corpora-tion on the benefi ts and use of the online voter enumeration process, using Voterlook-up.ca, which can be found at the municipal web site, <centrehastings.com>, and signed the Declaration to Healthy Communities after a presentation from Hastings and Prince Edward Counties Healthy Communities representatives.

Centre Hastings council report

While Senior Elementary students Terry Ramsey and Tyler Shaw’s mothers were busy vending products at the Madoc Mar-ket Saturday, June 28, they kept themselves busy sharing stories of vintage, miniature models. After a number of passersby took an interest in their collection, of around 30 to 40 vehicles, by Hot Wheels, Maisto, and Matchbox, the boys decided they will set up this coming weekend, July 5, with close to 600 miniature models from their combined collections. That’s expected to be a “classic” car show of a di� erent kind. Photo: Diane Sherman

News - Stirling - Weavers, spin-ners, felters and textile experts will be featured at this weekend’s Fibre Arts Day at Farmtown Park, scheduled from 10 a.m. un-til 3 p.m. Sunday, July 6.

Museum Manager Margaret Grotek says the third annual ex-position of local producers and their products is certain to appeal to artisans and hobbyists familiar

with a needle and thread as well as those with a sense for fashion and colour but little experience or understanding of the work in-volved.

“In Hastings County we have some really talented fibre art-ists,” Grotek says, noting their experience encompasses a range of sewing, weaving, knitting and textile-making skills and several

will be in attendance offering demonstrations throughout the day. “We’ll have tables set up and they’ll bring their tools and be able to share their talents and their skills with our visitors,” she says. Regular admission charges apply and include access to all exhibits now housed in the Hast-ings County Museum of Agricul-tural Heritage.

By Richard TurtleNews - Stirling - With new regulations in place allowing off-site retail sales of Ontario wines, a growing number of wineries are being represented at farmers’ markets, and Stirling has become the latest addition.

The Saturday farmers’ market hosted at the historic train sta-

tion added Pillitteri Estates to its vendors list last weekend and officials say if interest contin-ues from vendors and customers alike, the market will also open on Wednesday evenings. Mar-ket representative Jocelyn Reilly says the addition of wine to the list of local products available is expected to increase traffic as

well as boost interest and aware-ness of Ontario wines.

Jennifer Lennon, from the Niagara-based winery, says par-ticipating in the farmers’ mar-ket circuit has become a part of the marketing strategy for many smaller producers and allows winemakers like Pillitteri to cre-ate their own wines of that spe-

cific venue. Other wines available must contain Ontario grapes and be bottled in the province, she says, and those already on the shelves of liquor stores will be sold for the same price. Offering samples of the various products available, Lennon says Pillitteri is also represented in markets in Peterborough, Barrie, Toronto and Kincardine.

Currently the Stirling Farmers Market is open every Saturday from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. and fea-tures produce, baked goods, crafts and other products with local roots. Vendors interested in participating can contact Jocelyn Reilly at 613-395-5380.

Five-year-old Nate Rashotte grins as he sits in a tow truck owned by Cory Woodcock of Tweed. “Touch a Truck,” sponsored by the Tweed Ag-riculture Society allowed kids to get close with vehicles like tow trucks, police cars, ambulances, back hoes, four wheelers and even a Zamboni. About 150 people attended the event, held at the Tweed arena park-ing lot.

Touch a truck!

By Brett MannEntertainment - North-brook - An out-of-towner walking into the Spill the Beanz coffee shop and Log Cabin music store in North-brook on a recent Friday morning might be forgiven for thinking there was some kind of community meeting going on, given the crowd of 40 or 50 people. There was in fact a meeting, a musical one. For a year now John Fraden-burg the owner has been hold-ing musical open stages every fourth Friday. The response has been very gratifying.

The Log Cabin music store opened in 2004 and the res-taurant opened in early 2011.

At fi rst just a coffee shop, Spill the Beanz adopted a full lunch and breakfast menu and has become something of a community gathering place.

“We’re specializing in breakfasts and soups, more breakfasts than lunches. We close at 5 so there’s no din-ner crowd. We fi gure there’s enough restaurants offering dinner that we don’t need to bother. But you never know what’s going to happen,” says Fradenburg. He is deliberately letting his stock of musical in-struments shrink and intends to focus on accessories and acoustic guitars. A bagpipe on display on the wall speaks to the range of different instru-

Jammin’ at the Log Cabin

John Fradenburg (far right on bass) jamming with local musicians at the monthly open stage at Spill the Beanz, a co� ee house/music store he owns in Northbrook. The popular event happens from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. every fourth Friday and often attracts “standing room only” audi-ences.

ments Fradenburg has offered in the past.

“Did you know that guy singing with me was Steve Wilkinson of the Wilkinson family in Madoc?” he asks. “It was all country until Steve came along, and now he’s here and he likes doing rock and roll too. We do whatever anybody wants to do.” Tunes performed on this morning extended from Hank Wil-liams songs to a work by the Turtles, on instrumentation that included guitars, John on bass, a harmonica, snare drum and vocals. Local ladies danced near the shop entrance to the beat of “Six Days on the Road.” Today’s audience is not abnormally large, notes Fradenburg. “Lots of times we have 65 people here with standing room only. People come from all over, Hen-derson, Plevna. We’ve had a whole pile of musicians with two fi ddle players, keyboard and three or four guitars.”

Mr. Fradenburg hopes to start holding weekly Wednes-day night jam sessions in another part of his building, a former church. The plan is to feature a different genre of music each week. If the proj-ect is as popular as his month-ly jam sessions at Spill the Beanz, Northbrook and area can look forward to some fi ne live music on a weekly basis.

Looking ahead to secondary school and beyondBy Judy BackusNews - Marmora - The gym at Sacred Heart Catholic School was fi lled on the eve-ning of June 24, to the point that additional chairs had to be brought in to accommodate the crowd of friends and fam-

ily members who gathered to witness the Grade 8 gradua-tion ceremony. All were wel-comed by the musical presen-tation of the school’s former art teacher, Meaghan Lattan-zio, who played the guitar and sang while the guests

Sacred Heart Catholic School’s Grade 8 graduates posed for photos follow-ing the formal portion of the June 24 ceremony, but before the beginning of the popular slide show that highlighted their � nal year at the school. In the back row are Sarah Weber, Karen Weaver-Sullivan, Katie Seaborn, Ash-ley Robbins-Williamson, Hannah McDonnell, Kiara Freitas and Valedictori-an Mary Kate Brady. In front are Matt Reynolds, Ben Oke, Angus McGregor, Nicholas Hutchings, Reilly Gillis, Brinley Finch and Jayden Jimenez-Brooks. Photo: Judy Backus

were being seated.The theme was a Hawaiian luau with

decorations, including a lighted palm tree, to match. There were silhouettes of each of the graduates displayed on the walls which were festooned with hand-coloured paper fl ower cutouts. The ceil-ing was draped with streamers in keep-ing with the motif.

Principal Steve Tracze welcomed all, making special mention of the many, including teachers, parents, pastor and friends, who had guided and supported the students throughout their years at Sacred Heart. He concluded by wishing the 14 graduates well in all that the fu-ture holds for them.

The ceremony progressed with the presentation of diplomas and awards and included plenty of humour along the way as well as time for family mem-bers to move to the front of the gym to snap photos of their graduate with the presenters.

Valedictorian Mary Kate Brady thanked all for attending to celebrate what she termed, “the end of a signifi -cant phase in our lives.” She continued, “This isn’t just the end of our elemen-

tary school education, but the beginning of an exciting new time as we enter high school.” With regard to that, she mentioned the many new experiences the graduates would face as high school students and the fact that they would soon have to look ahead to future careers, “and think about which college or university we want to go to.” Brady thanked teachers and

other staff members, saying, “… their support has helped form who we are today.” She made particular mention of Grade 8 teacher Lisa Alberta, thanking her for all she had taught the graduates, “and for planning out class trips, special activities, our confi r-mation, but most importantly our graduation.”

Following that, Alberta spoke, sharing stories of the

group and saying they had all had fun over the course of the school year. She thanked the parents for their support and involve-ment, then wished the students good luck as they entered high school, which for most will be Saint Theresa in Belleville.

The fi nal programmed event, prior to cake and a variety of snack items, was for all to enjoy a slide show set to music which featured the students both as tod-dlers and teens, and highlighted some of the trips and activities which had taken place over the past school year.

By Richard TurtleNews - Stirling - Mon-ster trucks are coming to the Stirling Fair.

The Stirling Agricultural Society has worked hard to bring a range of affordable family entertainment and competition to the fairgrounds every August says Society Di-rector Shawn LaPalm, and this year fans will have another huge attraction to cheer about.

“It’s the fi rst time since the mid-2000s that monster trucks have come to our part of the Quinte Region,” LaPalm says, adding the decision to bring them came as a result of numer-ous requests. “The Stirling Fair

spectators and kids have asked for the monster truck show for a very long time,” he adds, “and the Stirling Agricultural Society is excited to present them.”

The show marks the fi rst time the car-crushing trucks have appeared at the Stirling Fair, LaPalm says, and the Monster Madness World Tour stop will feature Aftershock, Krazy Train and Anger Man-agement, rated at more than 1,800 horsepower each. The Canadian Crusher ride truck will also be on hand before and after the show, which will include straight-line fi ve car stack drags and wheelie con-test, with plenty of Monster

Aftershock, Krazy Train coming to Stirling Fair

Madness promised throughout the eve-ning. The Canadian Crusher is scheduled to arrive on August 14, when the midway will also be open, and “the monster truck show will be combined with the demo cross derby [6 p.m. August 16] so it will be a great night.”

Agricultural Society President Jason Detlor, who recently accepted the mu-nicipality’s Volunteer of the Year Award on behalf of the organization, says this year’s fair will be bigger and better than ever. Along with the regularly featured at-tractions including Homeniuk Rides, 4-H shows, Demo Cross, truck, tractor and horse pulls and agricultural demonstra-tions and displays, this year’s headliner is Brett Kissel and one lucky band will be called on to perform as the opening act.

The Country Roots Music Competi-tion, scheduled for Thursday, August 14, will determine exactly who those performers will be, Detlor says, with reg-istrations currently open. Tickets to the Brett Kissel performance on August 15 are $15 in advance and $20 at the gate. In accepting the volunteer award during recent Canada Day celebrations, Detlor thanked the society’s many support-ers and contributors and the people of Stirling-Rawdon.

Society Treasurer Roxanne Hearns says the steer auction will be held on the opening Friday with bursaries for the second year handed out to a pair of area post-secondary students registered in ag-ricultural programs. In previous years the bursary itself was handed out after the fair but Hearns says that too is chang-ing. “We’ll be handing them out right on the day,” she says, adding the appli-cation process has changed slightly as a result, requiring applicants submit proof of registration along with other necessary documents.

Stirling Agricultural Society President Jason Detlor accepts a volunteer award on behalf of the Society from Stirling-Rawdon Mayor Rodney Cooney.

Central Hastings News - Thursday, July 3, 2014 15

By Richard TurtleNews - Stirling - Lindsay Little quite happily admits she probably has the best summer job going.

The fi rst-year McGill Univer-sity law student, who completed a bachelors degree at the Uni-versity of Ottawa after gradu-ating from Bayside Secondary School, will be spending the next two months getting to know a lot more about Canada and the people who live here.

Little has been named as a Youth Ambassador for Parks Canada and will be working out of their Gatineau, PQ, offi ce, spending time on the road as well as visiting some of the nation’s treasures with an eye toward en-couraging more young people to do the same. But, she says, it’s not a simple matter of promot-ing national landmarks, parks and heritage sites, but an ongo-ing program to engage youth and guide them toward a better understating of the country’s ge-ography and history as well as

fostering a deeper appreciation of the outdoors. And Little is en-thusiastic about the role she has been asked to play.

“It’s all of ours. It’s for ev-ery Canadian,” she says of the many Parks Canada sites mark-ing historically, geologically, environmentally and socially significant locations, several of which she will be visiting to host programs through the sum-mer. “And each has a distinct personality,” she says. Spread across the country, Parks Cana-da locations include battlefields, archeological sites, marine con-servation areas and expansive parks offering a variety of ac-tivities and experiences.

And it’s precisely the way Lit-tle was hoping to spend her sum-mer, she says, ever since hearing about the Youth Ambassador pro-gram through a classmate who had previously held the position and posted several “spectacular” photographs online.

“I was really attracted to this

job,” she says, noting she has al-ways had a strong appreciation for our nation’s peoples, history and landscapes. Her experience as a parliamentary guide, atten-dance at a Global Vision confer-ence and her French immersion education helped her chances through a somewhat daunting and extended selection process as well, she says. Little will be working with fellow Youth Am-bassador and Owen Sound resi-dent George Woodhouse to edu-cate and enlighten their peers on Canadian points of interest and explain why they should get out and see more of them.

And she knows she has her work cut out for her. Individu-als between the ages of 18 and 30 are the least likely to visit a national park, she says. “There’s a part of that urban demographic who don’t necessarily ever leave the city,” notes Little. And they make up a signifi cant portion of the people she is hoping to sway.

And there are plenty of rea-

By Brett MannEntertainment - Tweed - A wel-come sign of summer in Tweed is the start of the Music in the Park summer concert series staged by the Lions Club and supported by many local sponsors. This year represents the thirteenth summer of the series and outgoing Lions president Art Pym notes that it will feature eight bands this sea-

son including the one playing this day, the Black Family from Owen Sound. Several dozen mu-sic lovers relaxed in the sun or shade in lawn chairs by the shore of Stoco Lake, enjoying the tight fi ddle playing and beautiful voic-es of the seven-piece Black Fam-ily band. Mayor Jo-Anne Albert welcomed the crowd to the fi rst concert and thanked the Lions for

their contributions to the com-munity.

The series tends to feature country music, including “classic country” says Mr. Pym and the bands are accomplished and pro-fessional. “We’re going to have a group coming in this year with a lot of fi ddlers—the Donegal Fid-dlers.” Music in the Park is one of two main Lions fund-raising

activities, along with their regular mu-sical jamborees. The 50/50 draw at the park has been replaced with free will donation buckets reports Pym. “All the funds are turned back into the commu-nity to support youth groups, hockey, fi gure skating and things like that. We also support seniors through Commu-nity Care for Central Hastings, and the local hospice in Madoc. It’s a free event, but all donations are welcomed,” says Mr. Pym.

The concert series also provides an excellent venue for musicians in the region to reach a new audience Pym points out. He notes that the Lions will be sponsoring this year’s Canada Day parade and traditionally sponsor the Santa Claus parade. The organizing is informal but effective. “We don’t call anyone for either of these events. We just let people know the dates and let them show up. We always seem to get enough.” Mr. Pym makes a point of thanking the local merchants and other sponsors whose fi nancial support allows Music in the Park to continue.

Little lands post with Parks Canada

Former Bayside Secondary School and University of Ottawa student Lindsay Little will be spending the summer working as a Youth Ambassador with Parks Canada. The Stirling resident recently com-pleted her � rst year of law at McGill University.

sons they should explore the world around them, she adds.

Spending the summer promoting Canada, a product she believes in com-pletely, is like a dream come true, she says. “I’m really, really lucky,” Little says with a broad smile.

In the fall Little will attend her sec-

ond year of law, intending to complete two more degrees.

And after that? “That’s a real-ly good question,” she says.

High school student’s business venture promoting mental health awareness

By Sue DickensNews - Campbellford - “Fight Off Your Demons”

Branding her new business, this slogan is resonating with followers of Faith Begbie’s new venture on the social networks, from Facebook to Twitter to Instagram.

This Grade 11 student at Campbellford District High School has her new small business up and running as she promotes mental health awareness this summer by designing a line of customized clothing that she is selling while earning two high school credits at the same time.

“This is a clothing line that is helping to raise awareness about mental illnesses and making sure nobody stands alone,” she told the Trent Hills Independent.

By participating in the Ministry of Education’s Self-Employment Summer Company Co-op Pilot program, she will be earning up to two Co-op credits while running the small business.

Using Twitter as one of her ways to get her message out there she tweeted: “Depression isn’t a weakness. It doesn’t make you a weak person. It makes you stronger. You are a warrior and you will win this war.”

Begbie’s business venture is supported by the Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Employment’s Summer Company program.

“My mom helped me and we applied for a grant and will receive $3,000,” she explained.

Summer Company offers start-up money to kick off a new summer business and provides advice and mentorship from local business leaders to help get the business up and running

With $1,500 for startup costs Begbie will be promoting her message and her

Mental health the focus of high school student’s business

product through the summer months.Once she has successfully completed

the program requirements she will receive the remaining $1,500.

Students who received this grant have to be prepared to commit to an average of 35 hours per week for a minimum of eight consecutive weeks.

“I want to tell people if you have a mental health issue it doesn’t make you any different or less of a person,” said Begbie, as she explained her goals and outlined her plan.

“As a young person I’d dealt with depression. Mental health is something everybody deals with at some point in their life, whether it’s themselves or someone in their family or someone they know. There’s so much negativity behind it and it’s great to see people are coming out and talking about it more,” she added.

Within an hour of posting her message about her new business on Facebook, she had 400 people viewing her page.

“I didn’t start it for the money, I started this to educate people,” she noted.

Selling T-shirts, tank tops and hoodies emblazoned with her slogan, she plans on taking her business and her message to festivals.

She is hoping to host an awareness event at the Campbellford Legion on July 6. Plans are still being fi nalized.

The cost will be $10 and supporters will be able to listen to music from a dozen local bands.

“My goal for this is just to get people to start treating mental health as they do physical health,” she said.

Ministry of Agriculture representatives talk to QEDC

Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food representatives John Swan and Mark Jonkers addressed the QEDC. Photo: Kate Everson

By Kate EversonNews - Belleville - A presentation was made to the Quinte Economic Development Commission by John Swan and Mark Jonkers from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food.

“We are touring sites for investments in the food and beverage industry,” Jonkers said.

He said it’s not just about money but building a business case with the community. He noted that they are focusing on export trade with countries in Europe, China and the Middle East to buy Ontario products.

John Swan said they are currently looking for opportunities.

“A hot country is Italy,” he said. “They are looking for manufacturing here.”

He added, “The U.S. is pretty dead. We have had no leads in a year.”

They are reaching out to five areas in Ontario and this is one, including the Belleville, Quinte West and Brighton region, is known for its professionalism and responsiveness.

“They give us the best service,” he said. “It’s really good.”

He said some areas have more lucrative incentives but there has to be involvement with the

community.Mark Jonkers said the incentives are gravy.

“Incentives push you into partnership,” he said.Tom Lafferty asked if there was any product out

of South America. Jonkers said they have a lot of buying power but only seasonal products. He said California Bolthouse Farms should be in Ontario, building and employing here.

Ted Reid asked if the EU Trade agreement has any effect. John Swan said the U.S. wants to manufacture in Canada to get more leverage with the EU.

“People are interested in Canada as a beachfront for the EU,” said Mark Jonkers. “They would bring the retail in.”

He was asked if there is a lot of competition in Canada. Jonkers said there is the use of incentives and relatively competitive taxes, but Hydro and labour is a bit higher, plus the price of gasoline for shipping.

“Ontario is not the most competitive,” said John Swan. “We have to leverage a lot of different opportunities here.”

Swan added, “Companies don’t like Development Charges. It’s a line item that raises eyebrows. It should be built into land costs.”

Someone asked if Ontario is competitive with Quebec. Swan said they are never worried about being beat up by Quebec because of its French labelling and unions.

Mayor John Williams said it is a lot about relationships, such as Kelloggs and other close calls. “Other opportunities are coming forward,” he added.

B4 Section B - Thursday, July 3, 2014

By Diane Sherman News - Residents of Ontario can find if their voter information is right, change it if needed, or, register when they turn eighteen, all from the comfort of home.

Voterlookup.ca is a new web site owned and operated by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) enabling citizens to update personal in-formation any time, anywhere, from a computer, or, simply find out if they are registered as an elector in their municipality.

Electors don’t have to run out and get a computer, nor learn to use a computer, as all traditional voter registration methods will remain in place.

“Those people who have voted over the years will be, by default, on the preliminary list of electors which each munici-pality already has on file,” said Peter Moran, at the Centre Hast-ings municipal council meeting June 25.

Municipal relations repre-sentatives from MPAC, such as Moran, are actively informing municipal governments through-out Ontario of the new process launched April 22 in Toronto.

“We are just coming up to

speed with new technology,” Moran explained.

Changes to transform the 2014 enumeration process in-clude an Internet look-up pro-cess for electors, which files their information by an “online data capture process” and au-tomatically files voters by their separate names and details.

The Voterlookup.ca site is a simple, straightforward, online process requiring individuals to enter their name, address, and age to register. If they are already on the list a box with a green check mark shows up to say you are already in the file.

There is no personal informa-tion exposed or available, but, to get past the first page, one has to agree to a privacy statement, a legal document similar to what may be signed when declaring in person, at a municipal office or voter’s poll.

MPAC uses the information as it always has, to prepare re-gional voter’s lists, for munici-pal, school board, and district social services administrative board elections, municipal and school board planning purposes, preparation of jury lists, and population reports which is then

made easily available, electroni-cally, to municipalities.

The data is used only for municipal elections and is not applied to federal or provincial elector lists.

Municipal elections are Oc-tober 27 this year. Moran says MPAC staff is actively spread-ing the word to municipalities who will then inform their pub-lic of the availability of the new online process.

MPAC will continue to send each municipality updates as they are entered on line at preset intervals before the election.

“Meanwhile,” Moran says, “anyone who may have moved or had changes to their personal information, or become eligible to vote before voting day, can still go to their municipal office to register, or, simply do it on the Internet.”

If a resident did not get onto the voter’s list they must follow the same procedure as in the past, on election day, by bringing proof of identification and address.

“Electronic data filing is the way of the future,” says Moran. “We are just bringing our service into line with the new technology.”

Are you on your municipal voter’s list?

Aerospace Warfare Centre has new commanderBy Kate EversonNews - Trenton - Colonel Kelvin Truss has taken over as the new commander of the Canadian Forces Aerospace Warfare Centre (CFAWC).

Truss took over from Colonel Martin Cournoyer on June 27 at a ceremony out-side the building at Anson Avenue. It was a blistering sunny day as the light gleamed on the wings of the two mascot Ravens, Carl and Carol, on display. The centre is known as the Raven. “The raven is a bird of wisdom and cunning, a divine agent with the ability to foretell battle,” they say.

“Thanks Padre for the weather,” said Colonel Cournoyer as he said farewell to his team which he commanded from 2012.

He said he was proud of the team at CFAWC and welcomed Colonel Truss to his new position.

“He is the first returning CFAWC com-mander,” Cournoyer noted. “He has a per-fect perspective. He will take care of the mission.”

Major-General Foster stressed the im-portance of the warfare centre especially as the world becomes more unstable. He said they will focus on the core and be ready to assume more responsibility. He noted that the Joint Task Force will con-tribute to that air-land integration.

Foster said the RCAF needs to develop the ability to fight and to be interoperable with key allies.

Colonel Truss said he has a solid foun-

dation here, and now they need to make sure they focus on higher priorities.

He said people sometime ask if this is an RCAF or Ca-nadian Armed Forces or Aero-space Centre. He feels it is all of these, working on the war-fare element.

Established in 2005 the

CFAWC is a lodger unit of 8 Wing and is mandated to en-sure the evolution of Canadian aerospace power. The com-mand portion of the unit is in Trenton and a small detach-ment works out of Shirley’s Bay in Ottawa’s west end.

Colonel Truss was born in Maldon, England, in 1962 and

joined the Air Force in 1982 as a gunner in the RAF regiment but was commissioned shortly after and became a flying instruc-tor. He flew the Tornado F3 as a front line pilot and instructor until 1993 when he joined the Royal Air Force aerobatic team the Red Arrows. He was promoted to squadron leader and completed his time as the lead solo pilot. During his three years with the Red Arrows he completed over 300 displays in the UK and overseas, in-cluding South Africa, Australia and the Far and Middle East. He returned to the Tor-

nado Force in 1997 as a flight commander and later in 2004 as commander of 111 Fighter Squadron. In 2011 he deployed

to NATO and was responsible for strategy and targeting. He was formerly CFAWC detach-ment commander in Ottawa.

Page 24: Centralhastings07032014

By John M. SmithLifestyles - On my wife’s birthday, we fl ew to South America, specifi cally to Peru, for we have long wanted to visit Machu Picchu, one of the New 7 Wonders of the World, and we certainly weren’t disappointed, for we found it to be an absolutely stunning destination.

I booked the tour through Indus Travels, <www.industravels.ca>, for this company has a Canadian offi ce (in Richmond, British Co-lumbia) and do a lot of advertising, and I was pleased with this choice. The details were all soon taken care of and we were “good to go.” We fl ew from Toronto to Lima (with a short stopover in San Salvador), stayed overnight at an airport hotel (Ramada Costa del Sol), and then again took fl ight the next morning across the snow-capped Andes to Cusco (the oldest inhabited city in the hemisphere and at an el-evation of more than 11,000 feet). In Cusco, we boarded a bus (with the other members of our tour group) and descended into the village of Urubamba in the Sacred Valley, to help us acclimatize and to avoid altitude sickness. Af-ter spending a full day exploring the valley, we were then ready to tackle Machu Picchu, located far up in the mountains.

We were taken by bus to the “Living Inca Town” of Ollantaytambo, and here we board-ed a train for our scenic excursion. We eventu-ally arrived at the village of Aguas Calientes, at the foot of Machu Picchu, and then we were taken by bus, up the steep switchback road, to what’s often referred to as “The Lost City of the Incas.”

It’s rather diffi cult for me to fi nd the right words to properly convey my awe upon view-ing these ancient ruins for that fi rst time, but it’s defi nitely safe to say that I found them to be one of the most beautiful and important an-cient sites anywhere and certainly meriting a lot of photos! It’s believed the Incas built this magnifi cent site in about 1450—invisible from

below—very protected, and completely self-contained. These cloud-shrouded ruins, situ-ated high up in the mountains, far above the valley’s Urubamba River, are surrounded by agricultural terraces, and the site seems to have been divided into agricultural, sacred, and resi-dential sections with both an upper and lower town and its architecture appears to suitably adapt to the natural form of the mountains. Several stone staircases provide access to the various levels found within this site.

There’s a lot of walking involved here, much of it on steep, narrow footpaths, but a tour of this UNESCO World Heritage Site is defi nitely necessary. Expect a real workout! Our group was led by an English-speaking guide, and we spent about three hours touring this phenom-enal place. We ascended to the guard tower and descended into the residential area, where we saw what was left of many of the houses, and we visited several sacred sites, too, includ-ing the remains of the Temple of the Condor, Temple of the Three Windows, and the Temple of the Sun. We also checked out Inti Watana, a large ritual stone that was believed to be as-sociated with the Inca’s astronomical clock or calendar. As we strolled through the ruins, we were greeted, from time to time, by llamas that live here on site.

When we fi rst arrived at Machu Picchu, the tallest mountains surrounding the site were still shrouded in clouds, but as time passed, these clouds disappeared, offering us a clearer view of the entire area. I took photos of both the before and after, of course, and I learned that the mountain that’s named Machu Picchu (the “Old Man”) is actually located behind the guard house, so it’s not the one that’s photo-graphed in the majority of the photos. Huayna Picchu (the “Young Man”) probably appears in the most, and it’s possible to climb to its sum-mit but the number of daily climbers is limited and it’s a very challenging ascent. If you do

make arrangements to climb Huayna Picchu, you may then descend into a cave where you’ll fi nd the Temple of the Moon, another incredible Incan ceremonial structure.

If you were to decide to participate in an adventure trek on the popular, gruelling Inca Trail, much of which is still of original Incan construction, instead of taking my wimpier train route, you’d eventually arrive at the Sun Gate, a narrow notch that’s lo-cated high above Machu Picchu, and this would offer an especially awe-some fi rst view of the ruins. However, it’s also possible to ascend to the Sun Gate from within the archaeological site itself, but be prepared for a tough climb for about an hour, with some narrow footpaths, heart-thumping precipices, and lots of rocks.

It’s believed the Incas abandoned Machu Picchu after about a century (at the time of the Spanish Con-quest), and it then remained “a se-cret place” until American historian Hiram Bingham (of Yale) introduced this extraordinary place to the world in 1911. After that discovery, Machu Picchu has become, now, one of the most popular tourist attractions of them all!

By Kate EversonEntertainment - Trenton - Take a step back in time to the good ol’ days of Big Bands like Guy Lom-bardo, Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Harry James. Do you re-member?

The Trenton Big Band Festival on July 19 and 20 recreates those glory days with top bands per-forming at the Riverfront Square on Saturday night and at the am-phitheatre on Sunday afternoon.

“Fans of big band and nostal-gia will go on another pilgrimage to bask in the sounds of the third annual big band festival,” says Colleen Vickers of Quinte West.

Highlighting this year’s main show on Sunday, July 20 is the Brian Barlow Big Band featur-ing vocalist Barbra Lica, one of Canada’s top fi ve female jazz vocalists, according to the CBC. Also on Sunday afternoon at Centennial Park amphitheatre is the ever-popular Swing Shift Big Band, a huge hit during the inau-

gural festival two years ago. The Ragweed Jazz Band will bring its own brand of high-energy swing to the day.

The Brian Barlow Big Band celebrates its tenth anniversary this year and continues to wow au-diences with their fresh approach to the very best tunes of the golden age of the big bands. Made up of some of Canada’s top jazz soloists this exciting ensemble will have you tapping your toes.

The Swing Shift Band started in 1996 to preserve the sounds and energy of the big band era and has now become one of the top rated big bands throughout Ontario and Canada. It has performed at most major venues in Toronto area over the past 18 years.

The Ragweed Jazz Band is for listening, dancing and remember-ing the golden years of jazz, the 1930s and 1840s when people like Louis Armstrong and Benny Goodman were setting the tempo for the era. The band has an infec-tious sense of fun and keeps the

essential spirit of jazz.Gates open at noon on Sunday.

Bring your lawn chair and relax. The Swing Shift Band performs fi rst at 1 p.m., followed by the Ragweed Jazz Band at 2 p.m. and the Brian Barlow Big Band at 2:30 p.m. There will be an artists village on site as well as food and beverages, featuring Huff Estates Winery.

“Get your tickets in advance,” advises Vickers. “Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the gate.”

They can be picked up at city hall, the Chamber of Commerce, Riverside Music in Trenton or Pin-nacle Music in Belleville. In case of inclement weather the concert will be held inside the arena.

The night before the big event will be a free concert outdoors at the new Riverfront Square down-town with the very popular Com-modores Orchestra. Canada’s oldest big swing band will play for dining and dancing under the stars. You can relax on the patio of several downtown restaurants and

News - Brighton - On Sunday June 22, Northumberland Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were con-ducting speed enforcement on area roadways as part of the detachment traffi c plan.

At approximately 12:20 p.m., an OPP offi cer was operating radar on County Road 30 north of Codring-ton in the Municipality of Brighton when a vehicle was observed south-bound at a high rate of speed.

The offi cer followed the vehicle and stopped the 2002 blue Dodge Caravan near Aranda Way. The female driver exited the vehicle,

ignoring the offi cer and the emer-gency lights.

The offi cer found that there were six children in the vehicle. The chil-dren were six months, one year, two years (twins), three years and eight years of age.

There were two car seats in the vehicle but there was no attached seating to the fl oor of the van.

The offi cer conducted an inves-tigation into the female driver and issued her with several summonses for Provincial Offences Court on Thursday, July 24, in Campbellford at 9:30 a.m.

Melissa Gail Anne Brummel, 28, from Campbellford has been charged with the following of-fences under the Highway Traffi c Act: driving a motor vehicle with no licence; defacing a validation sticker; using a plate not authorized for motor vehicle; driving while a passenger under 16 fails to properly wear seat belt; speeding; operating motor vehicle with no insurance under Compulsory Automobile In-surance Act.

Family members attended the scene and transported the children safely to their destination.

enjoy the night. The Commodores will perform from 6 to 8:30 p.m. followed by the Dan Bone Jazz Trio between 9 and 11 p.m. for a smooth jazz nightcap. The Commodores has been performing since 1928 and this 17-piece band is still in demand playing classics of the big band era. The Dan Bone Trio has been in the Quinte area for 15 years. Dan is a JUNO-nominated saxman whose collaboration with keyboardist Duncan Cooper and drummer Steve Conley has set the stan-dard for jazz in eastern Ontario.

Major sponsors for the third annual Trenton Big Band Festival are the city of Quinte West, Jazz FM 91, Ontario Lot-tery and Gaming Corporation, Dow’s Climate Care, JB Print Solutions and the Seasons Dufferin Centre.

By Sue DickensNews - Campbellford - An oa-sis in Campbellford, “A Garden With Everything” created by ho-meowners Marg and Doug Doo-her is just one of the seven won-ders in the 11th Annual Garden Tour hosted by the Campbell-ford and District Horticultural Society.

Located at 81 Ranney Street North, at a home built by Marg Dooher’s father Wilfred Spencer in 1935, the varieties of perenni-als are just some of the eye candy visitors will see.

From a weeping willow tree to many different types of roses to the arbour, crafted garden orna-ments to the bird bath and bird houses, the back yard offers a place to pause and reflect on all that nature can provide when tended to by someone with a green thumb.

“I was born and raised on a farm so I love gardening … I did it as I was growing up. It’s just my nature,” said Dooher.

“The honeysuckle over there was one of my first plants. We get a lot of hummingbirds because of

that,” she commented.The view from their sunroom

which was added to the house in 1995 when she retired, was a “dream come true … The thing is full of flowers come wintertime,” she explained.

“A lot of my things came from my family like the lilacs … they are absolutely gorgeous this year,” she added.

She and her husband have lived in the home for 55 of their 59 years of marriage.

After raising four children she now has more time to spend

News - Bolton - The National Marine Manufacturers Associa-tion Canada (NMMA Canada) applauds the federal govern-ment’s announcement extending the hours of operation for both the Rideau Canal and Trent-Severn Waterway. In time for the Canada Day weekend, a total of 112 hours will be added to the navigation schedule throughout the course of the entire boating season.

“This is a great achievement for recreational boating and the result of our industry’s unified advocacy efforts,” said Sara Anghel, executive director/vice-president of NMMA Canada.

“We commend the government for working together with the recreational boating industry and keeping the likes of boaters top of mind. The extended hours of service encourages boaters to travel these historic waterways, naturally boosting tourism and Canadians’ time spent on the wa-ter.”

Recently, a national program dedicated to promoting the boat-ing lifestyle, Discover Boating Canada, a program managed by the NMMA, offered a list of the best boating locales, and the Trent-Severn Waterway and Rideau Canal are among the top boating destinations in Canada

this year.According to the announce-

ment from the Honourable Leo-na Aglukkaq, Minister of the Environment and Minister Re-sponsible for Parks Canada, the extended hours of operation sup-port tourism and economic de-velopment, and helps Canadians connect with experiences along the waterways. The Economic Impact of Recreational Boat-ing in Canada: 2012 reveals that the recreational boating industry is a significant economic driver for Canada, generating $8.9 bil-lion in revenues, contributing $5 billion to GDP, and employing nearly 70,000 people.

Extending hours of operation for Trent-Severn Waterway

Arts and crafts style cottage home featured in Garden Tourpruning and planting.

And her husband has joined in and has planted a vegetable gar-den he tends to daily.

“He said to me I might as well try something because you are out here all the time,” she said laughing.

Dooher supports the horticul-tural society in all it does and has been a member for the past 25 years.

“The things you learn are just great. We have speakers of every nature of horticulture,” she com-mented.

The Dooher home is just one of seven featured gardens on the tour this year.

There are two in Hastings, one in Havelock, one in Trent River, two in Campbellford and Island Park Retirement Community is the seventh.

For something a little different those on the tour are encouraged to drop in at the home of Brenda and John Gabriel, in Campbell-ford, to see a garden belonging to someone who is part gardener but for the most part, a self-pro-claimed “junker.”

The garden of Marg and Doug Dooher of Campbellford is one of seven being fea-tured in the 11th Annual Garden Tour organized by the Campbellford and District Horticultural Society. The tour takes place Saturday, July 12, and passports are on sale now for $10. Photo: Sue Dickens

To see the list of all the gar-dens, tour enthusiasts will have to purchase a passport which includes details about the homes and their owners’ special gar-dens.

Passports are available at Earth Angel and Caroline’s Organics in Campbellford and from Joyce

Higgs at the Hastings Market.The passport front cover fea-

tures a photo of Schoolhouse Gardens near Warkworth, owned by Dennis Gebhardt and Tom Harris, hosts to tours in the past. The cost is $10.

The tour takes place Saturday, July 12, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Section B - Thursday, July 3, 2014 B11

By Karen LongwellNews - Cobourg - A Hastings-area woman charged with obstruction after her sheep went missing will see her case move forward this August. Linda Frances Jones, also known as Montana Jones, was in Cobourg court on June 17. Ms. Jones, who owns Wholearth Farmstudio near Hastings, was one of four people charged in a case involv-ing her Shropshire sheep. The sheep were suspected of having scrapie and 31 of them were unlawfully removed from her federally quarantined prem-ises near Hastings in April 2012. The sheep allegedly were abducted by a group calling itself the Farmers Peace Corps. Twenty-six of the sheep were later found in June 2012 on a farm in Grey County. Jones, Michael Schmidt, Suzanne Atkinson and Robert Pin-nell face several charges, including obstructing a Canadian Food Inspec-tion Agency inspector, and transport-ing or causing to transport an animal under quarantine. Schmidt is a Dur-ham dairy farmer fi ned in 2011 for illegally selling unpasteurized milk. Pinnell is a member of a co-operative that runs Schmidt’s Glencolton Farms. Atkinson is a Warkworth-area corre-spondent for a farm publication. The Crown’s claim there was a confl ict of interest with lawyer Shawn Buckley representing both Jones and Schmidt was dismissed in court. Jones said af-ter the proceedings the decision was a good one for her and Schmidt. The matter is slated to move forward on August 18 when a preliminary hearing is expected to be scheduled.

Art in the Park returns to Henry StreetNews - Stirling - The Henry Street Park will become the temporary home to well over a dozen artists and their work when Art in the Park returns on Saturday, July 19.

Organizer Andre Jolicoeur says af-ter a second successful year last sum-mer, many participants have already indicated their plans to attend and this installment is shaping up to be the largest yet.

“We have 18 [participating art-ists] so far,” he says, noting there is

still plenty of time to include others, “and I’m sure we’ll get a bunch at the last minute.” In a large shady area that borders the creek, visitors to the park on July 19 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. can expect to see original artwork, prints, photography, crafts, pottery and woodworking both on display and for sale. Art in the Park provides an opportunity to see local works

created in a variety of media, and speak directly with the artists and ar-tisans who have in many cases spent years learning and refi ning their ap-proaches and techniques.

Buoyed by the early interest and the success of last year’s show, Joli-coeur is anticipating a wide range of

work to be presented during the day and is continuing to accept registra-tions from artists of all descriptions. And art lovers of all descriptions are encouraged to attend. Further infor-mation is available by calling 613-920-0010, or emailing <[email protected]>.

By Stephen Petrick [email protected] - Belleville - The Belleville Water-front and Ethnic Festival is looking good at age 30.

Festival organizers are getting ready to provide five days of excitement, from Wednesday, July 9, to Sunday, July 15, at West Zwicks Park. The annual celebra-tion—a flagship event in Belleville since 1984—typically attracts several thousand visitors.

But with extra attractions planned for this, the 30th anniversary of the event, or-ganizers are expecting to draw between

Events - Trenton - It is time to cel-ebrate summer with the Downtown Trenton Festival on the Bay. Activi-ties begin on Thursday, July 17, and run through Saturday, July 19.

A pancake breakfast will be held each morning next to the main stage downtown at 8 a.m. This is a fund raiser for the Tren-ton Kinsmen Club. (Dundas Street will be closed from Front Street to Division Street to host local busi-nesses, service organizations, and outside vendors.)

The Quinte West Chamber of Commerce is hosting the Bay of Quinte Boat Cruise on Friday July 18, this year with cruises at 1 and 7 p.m. Cruises board at Fraser Park Marina and are approximately three hours in length. Tickets are avail-able at 613-392-7635.

“Enjoy a scenic cruise in the afternoon and a culinary tasting experience of local Saputo cheese, desserts and wine with live enter-tainment from Cold Creek County on the evening cruise,” says Jillian McCormick, Bay of Quinte Boat Cruise Co-ordinator. Sandbanks Estate Winery will be doing wine tastings on the evening cruise.

The Big Band Festival will kick off on Saturday July 19, at the Riverfront Square at 6 p.m. where you will hear The Commodores Orchestra and the Dan Bone Trio. On Sunday, July 20, the Big Band Festival will continue at Centennial Park in Trenton at 1 p.m. For tickets and information visit The City of Quinte West web site.

All activities are open to the pub-lic. The Bay of Quinte Boat Cruise and Big Band Festival are indepen-dent events running in conjunction with the Downtown Festival on the Bay and require admission.

Waterfront and Ethnic Festival celebrates 30 yearstors are from young families, who are always looking for inexpensive summer activities.

“It’s all for free,” Walsh said, about the children’s entertainment. “We have parents comment on that.”

The event begins Wednesday with the Canadian Indie Rock Mu-sic Festival, starting at 4 p.m. The event is headlined by popular Cana-dian punk band Gob.

On Thursday, events run from 4 to 11 p.m. The midway will be open and food and vendor booths will be on display. The children’s village will be open and more music will take place on the main stage.

As usual, the World’s Finest Shows Midway will be part of the Belleville Waterfront and Ethnic Festival, running from July 9 to 15 at West Zwicks Park. Photo: Submitted

Summer Festival just around the corner

37,000 and 40,000 people. As always, dozens of community groups are contributing to the event, whether it’s through pro-viding sponsorship, volunteers, or providing exhibits and enter-tainment during the festival.

“One of the reasons it sur-vives is because it’s a com-munity partnership,” said Bill Saunders, the CEO of the Bel-leville and District Chamber of Commerce.

The festival is officially run by the city of Belleville, but the municipality partners with the Chamber to co-ordinate the event.

Saunders said running the festival is no easy task—the planning takes place virtually year round. However, Cham-ber staff gladly do to the work because it fits with the organiza-tions mandate, plus it’s a lot of fun.

“You have to be there to experience it,” he said. “The Chamber is all about strength-

ening and developing the lo-cal economy and an event like this is a great way to boost the economy.”

Chamber special events co-ordinator Susan Walsh said she and her colleagues do a lot of homework to ensure the event succeeds. In recent years, staff have studied what demographic of people the event is most like-ly to attract. This has allowed them to make changes to the lineup and continue with certain attractions they know will suc-ceed. This work makes a differ-ence when convincing sponsors to get behind the event.

For instance, the popu-lar indie rock fest has now been moved to its own night, Wednesday, because festival organizers know that will attract a certain demographic of music followers.

Children’s entertainment will take place throughout the festival because organizers have learned that the majority of visi-

The Good Earth:

By Dan ClostLifestyles - Gentle Reader, we will agree it has been a tough spring; a long, cold, wet interminable affair that has pushed many a gardener out of their eternally optimistic mindset into the bleak realm of horticultural despair. Sitting here in my writer’s garret, I didn’t hear a single objection to that statement. This allows me to segue into the theme of this column, the plight of the professional landscaper.

Here is how I define a profes-sional landscaper: a person who de-rives their income from the practice of landscaping. It is neither a hobby nor a sideline endeavour for them. They’re not the folks who work a 9 to 5 job during the week and then toss a shovel into the back of their snowmobile trailer. These are the men and women who enhance our homes with their creative designs and ability to turn those concepts into our dream estates.

Their industry has a work “year” of seven months; however, this year you can knock about five weeks off the “billable hours” asked.

To be clear, GR, I’m not crying the blues for them because this is all part of the business that they chose. However, that doesn’t mean

I’m unsympathetic to their chal-lenges; hence this column.

Most run what is considered a small business, themselves and three or four staff, which means they are responsible for putting the food on the table in five house-holds.

Here are a few things you can do to make life just a titch easier for everyone involved.

Understand the weather. If it has been raining for a week, one day of sunshine does not dry out the soil enough for equipment to drive on it. If your backyard has puddles, don’t ask your contractor to plant a tree there.

Understand the weather. A long wet spring means delays in folks getting onto the job site which means they will be late getting to you. There is absolutely nothing they can do to buy back that time.

Understand the weather. If it has been a long slow spring with cool soil temperatures, many plants will not be available until later. The two classic examples of butterfly bush and rose of sharon are just now leafing out. Ornamental grasses, especially the warm season ones, are also just hitting their stride, sev-eral weeks late. Beech, redbuds and

plane trees leafed out later this year than I can remember, ever. Okay, I slipped this paragraph in for the garden centres and nurseries.

Understand your responsibilities as the homeowner when you hire. You must exercise “due diligence” and ensure the company you secure to work on your property is in com-pliance with all of the legal require-ments (supported by documenta-tion) to do the agreed upon work.

Ask for their credentials, WSIB coverage and anything else you can think of. Professional landscapers will be more than happy to show them to you; in fact, many will in-clude this in their initial presenta-tion. If you fail to ensure that the contractor has the proper insurance, you, the homeowner, can be held responsible for costs as a result of on-site incidents. (An aside: note that having insurance has no bear-ing on the skill of the landscaper or the quality of the work being done.)

Here is one reason for this sug-gestion: emerald ash borer is a seri-ous pest and will cause tremendous devastation to our ash trees. When it became clear the bug was moving into the Quinte area, I “suddenly” met folks from at least six different

companies with the word “arborist” on their business cards. In reality, it means they sniffed money and bought a chainsaw. Is that harsh? Maybe, but when they drop a tree on your house or nip off some of their body parts with you footing the bill because you didn’t ask for credentials, you might reconsider that stance. Here are a few other things I’ve seen in our area: retain-ing walls that fell over, electrical circuits without ground fault inter-rupters leading to water features, trees that grow to 80 feet tall plant-ed within five feet of the house, graded lawns that slope ground wa-ter into the basement … it is a long, long list Gentle Reader.

A really good start, in my opin-ion, is to look at companies who have been granted membership into the Landscape Ontario Horticul-tural Trades Association. Yes, there are some awesome companies out there who are not members of L.O. but they can be hard to find.

The primary point of this column is to encourage folks to exercise patience with the timing of their professionally managed landscape projects. The secondary message is a caveat emptor for the homeowner, protect yourself.

Patience, understanding and professionalism
