Residents were in for some strange summer weather as unusu-ally large hailstones poured down last Friday.
With a severe thunderstorm warning in effect, Environment Canada was calling for hail three-to-four centimetres in diameter, or “ping-pong sized” hail. Around 8 p.m., a large and aggressive storm hit the area – severely damaging crops within the Holland Marsh.
Some residents posting pho-tos to social media compared the hail to golf balls or toonies. Heavy rain also came with the storm. There were also multiple reports of cracked windshields and dented cars, but the extent of the storm’s damage seems to have hit farmers the hardest.
Jody Mott, executive director of the Holland Marsh Growers’ Asso-ciation, says upward of 20 farmers
have experienced severe damage to their land, the equivalent of about 2,000 acres.
“Multiple acres of onions, car-rots and lettuce have been shred-ded,” she explained.
“Our guys have gone from deal-ing with extreme drought to flood-ed and destroyed land. Some were up to their ankles in water.”
Mott says she isn’t sure whether the affected farms will be able to recover from such damage. The storm’s timing was especially upset-ting, as some of the grown lettuce was supposed to have been har-vested that Saturday morning.
When asked what the damage will cost farmers, Mott says a price tag can’t be calculated.
“This is going to affect each farmer very differently and I can’t speak for each of them. It’s really going to depend on whether or not they can salvage anything or if they choose to re-seed.”
Herman Gasko agreed, as he stood staring out into one of his damaged onion fields. Most of his 30 acres of crop, which included a large amount of both red and yel-low onions, cannot be saved.
He plans on disking what remains in a portion of his fields to make way for carrot seeds. As it is already so late into farming season, Gasko says the carrots will not be ready until the end of October or beginning of November.
“We will go well into frost sea-son, so I really don’t know what will come out of it. Costly is how I would describe all of this, in one word. This season is proving to be a challenge.”
And a challenge it has certainly been. Farmers within the marsh have already endured two major windstorms, a drought and now a major hailstorm. Gasko and many of his neighbours were forced to re-seed crops due to the windstorms
over the last couple of months, only to lose a majority of them Friday night.
Now, the future of the season is uncertain. Farmers with crop insur-ance will do their best to ensure that whatever can be saved will be saved, though Mott says only a handful have that security blanket.
Farmers have been using an Epson salt spray to attempt to heal vegetables as quickly as possible to gain a better idea as to what can be salvaged.
Avia Eek, a councillor with King Township and a Holland Marsh farmer, says Friday’s storm eerily resembles the destructive path of a tornado that hit the marsh in May of 1985.
The exception with this situa-tion, she says, is that it was not buildings that have sustained the damage; instead financial losses will be incurred by farmers whose crops were mowed down like grass.
“Our farmers have been work-ing 19 hours a day irrigating for weeks now trying to keep what was seeded growing, in order to have a marketable crop. After talking with the farmers I have, it’s clear many have come to terms with the dam-age and the loss.”
Eek says her family farm along Strawberry Lane and Aileen Ave-nue narrowly missed the storm’s damaging path, though the large amount of rain and upcoming heat wave will likely diminish their own onion crop.
Though the marsh provides 75 per cent of Ontario’s vegetables and 65 per cent of Canada’s, it is unlikely that consumers will see an impact on prices due to the storm.
“Unfortunately the heavy costs will all come down on us,” said Gasko. “Farmers always take the hit.”

EDITORIAL COLUMN
Byelection a must this early in termewmarket council has a big decision to make July 25 as it deals with how best to fill the Ward
5 council seat left vacant by the sudden resignation of long-time Councillor Joe Sponga.
It shouldn’t even be a discus-sion.
We’re not trying to sound glib. Rather, we’re arguing the process for filling a council seat vacated partway through a term shouldn’t be up to a municipal council at all.
There are rules in place dic-tating that a byelection must be held in any given riding when an MPP or MP resigns his or her seat, so why should municipal councils even possess the option of appointing someone to fill a vacancy? It has often been stated that municipal governance is the level most accessible to the pub-lic and one could make the case it is the tier that has the most direct impact on the average citizen’s daily life.
Fortunately, Newmarket Mayor Tony Van Bynen has voiced his support for a byelec-tion. Regional Councillor John Taylor has also come out on record to say he, too, supports filling the council vacancy demo-cratically rather than by appoint-ment.
“It’s very rare you have an appointment under a vacancy unless there’s less than a year left in the term,” he said. “The public has a democratic right to choose their representative. I lean strong-ly toward a byelection. There’s a lot of important issues here and knowing that person was duly elected when they vote on an important issue is important.”
We agree.A recent review of the Munici-
pal Elections Act resulted in changes such as allowing the introduction of ranked ballots and a ban on corporate and union donations to campaigns. Perhaps the provincial govern-ment should go a step further and make byelections mandatory at the municipal level unless a vacancy occurs within the last 12 months of a term.
Regardless if that happens, Newmarket council would do its citizens a disservice if it were to appoint someone with more than two years remaining in this coun-cil term.
Some may say that filling a vacancy through an appointment is a cost-effective way to deal with a resignation. A recent by election in Barrie’s Ward 7 reportedly rang in at more than $40,000 — not an insignificant figure — but how much is the integrity of local democracy worth?
N
“Mankind will not survive the honeybees’ loss for more than five years.” – Albert
EinsteinIt’s an issue few people know about, but
it’s just as important to our future in many ways as climate change: the fate of the hum-ble honeybee, pollinator of fruits and veg-etables and provider of life.
Did you know pollina-tors are responsible for over 75 per cent of the food eaten on the planet?
Think about what would happen if they went extinct.
How would we survive?That’s why reports of
massive bee loss – like Sha-ron beekeeper James Mur-ray’s one million-plus dead bees ¬ is so upsetting. As reported by York Region Media Group’s Simon Martin last week, Murray is concerned about the effect neoni-cotinoids (a type of pesticide) are having on his bees. He is hoping that a provincial gov-ernment-instituted ban will have a positive impact on his hives. But he’s out thousands of dollars. It wasn’t just a matter of money for Murray. The bee deaths really hurt.
“It was horrible, I cried,” Murray said.Martin reported that bee loss across
Ontario reached 58 per cent in the winter of 2013-14. Another local bee farmer, Andre Flys of Nobleton, was stung when his total number of hives was cut from 500 to 200. He suffered a 70 per cent bee loss in 2013 then another 50 per cent loss in 2014.
Something is clearly wrong.
“We are at our wit’s end and we don’t know how to continue,” Flys told Martin.
With neonics as they’re known being reduced by 80 per cent by July 1, 2017 in crop use, the hope is that they can be ruled out as a cause of bee deaths. There are still concerns over the varroa mite as a cause of bee mortality or other pesticide and cli-
mate factors. More studies are being done and more information is always being gathered.
The European Union is currently undergoing a full two-year ban on the use of neonics and it’s hoped we can learn a lot from what they are going through.
If bee losses are closely tied to the use of nenonics, as many believe they are, the European process will pro-
vide the data needed to prove it. If bee losses are still profound even after neonics have been eliminated for several years, then the factors could live elsewhere.
What is clear is that all parties, the gov-ernment, farmers, honeybee owners and especially the public, have a clear and vital interest in making sure honeybees survive and thrive.
We have a growing population that will only continue to require more and more pollination in the future. We can’t afford to let our bees die.

Photo/KING TOWNSHIP MUSEUM AND ARCHIVES
This week’s Classic King image is of a barn-raising in Nobleton, 1924 - Arthur Hill farm. Barns were often built at a “bee”, when the whole community came together and raised the barn cooperatively. A “bee” became a chance to socialize. The occasions for public meetings of any kind during the first few years of settlement were very rare. Although this is a later date it was still a chance for neighbours to help neighbours. Visit yorkregion.com/classicking to see this and other historical photographs. Every second Thursday, a new image will be added. Additionally, community submissions for consideration are welcome. Email images, background informa-tion and questions to [email protected].
