Brighton man charged with theft, fraud
JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com BRIGHTON - Northumberland OPP has charged the former treasurer of the Presqu'ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society and the Brighton Auxiliary Rescue Unit, in connection with thousands of dollars going missing from both organizations. Michael Nicholson, 40, of Brighton, was charged with theft over $5,000, fraud over $5,000, and breach of trust, following
Clarification David Green, whose comments appeared in a June 21 article about a
an extensive investigation by the Northumberland Crime Unit. Both organizations made fraud complaints to police in January. Nicholson is scheduled to appear at the Ontario court of justice in Cobourg on July 25. Having that information go out last week "was really important," said Dave Sharp, chair of the lighthouse preservation society, which lost around $64,000. "Sometimes when things don't come out, peo-
ple might say 'You guys hiding something?'" he said. They weren't, but the society had to wait for police to carry out their investigation. Rescue unit chair Peter McCann declined to answer questions, other than to confirm Nicholson had been the unit's treasurer, as well. "I don't want to make any comments about it at all, except to say yes, it's true," he said. Now that the matter is headed to court, "we'll see where it goes from there."
builder expressing regret for swearing at a councillor, wishes to make clear he is not "a frequent critic of elected officials," as was stated in the article.
He explains: "I dispute and critique the process that is used. This isn't about the people (Council) it's about the process, or lack thereof."

Charges laid against Brighton Brighton - The Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change has laid seven charges against the municipality for different incidents of noncompliance in the operation of its wastewater treatment system. It received a summons on Monday to appear in court on July 25 in connection with the charges that relate to exceeding acceptable levels of ammonia in 2016. The minimum fine for each violation is $50,000, Mayor Mark Walas told council, and "there is the potential of further charges coming forward" for 2017 and 2018 for "every time there has been an ammonia exceedance." Council voted to retain the law firm Cassels Brock to represent Brighton. Consultant Steve Saxton was asked if council's decision to construct a supplementary treatment system to deal with the ammonia problem will help resolve its legal problem. He responded by saying "showing progress to the MOE is a good thing." "Unfortunately I think we're going to find that it's too little too late," Walas said.
Dave Sharp had reason to smile last Saturday night when the Presqu'ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society held a charity fundraising evening at the King Edward Community Centre. More than 230 people attended the dinner event that included live and silent auctions of close to 255 items. There were raffles as well. Among the things up for grabs was a children's birthday with pizza Brighton firefighters volunteered to provide for the second year in a row. Included was a tour of the fire hall and a ride around town in the fire truck. Firefighters also served appetizers. Sharp said he was "very excited" by the show of support. "The community once again has stepped forward and everybody's having a lot of fun," he said. "We also had $6,000 donated to us, small donations and big donations, over the last four weeks." Saturday's event added another $17,500 to the total. Sharp said his organization is "really close" to where it was before the

merged attached growth reactor (SAGR), even though the cost is the same, because its construction will have minimal impact on the engineered wetland and its capacity could easily be expanded and integrated into a mechanical treatment plant in future, Saxton said. "It makes a lot of sense and we've been saying that some time, and we continue to think it's a good idea." MBBR is used in Quebec and extensively throughout Scandinavia. However it is a moderately more complex system to control and operate than SAGR, Saxton said. The next steps include finishing the EA and having a detailed design done. After that, with the necessary approvals in place, tenders will be called, a contract awarded, and construction undertaken. Saxton estimated it would take 18 months before the system is ready to operate. Councillor Steve Baker said he's "not necessarily confident with the suggested solution" but added he hopes it works "because the clock has run out ... We have little choice but to move forward." The municipality learned Monday that the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change has once again charged the municipality for noncompliance with its certificate of operation. Deputy Mayor Roger McMurray said he favoured a plant being built but "I see the writing on the wall and it's there in capital letters, in bold and flashing lights." He and the other members of council, apart from Coun. John Martinello, supported Baker's motion to go with MBBR. Baker blamed council's delay in choosing a solution
on the process. "We seemed to have gotten information piecemeal, so it made it very, very hard to make a definitive decision over the last two years," he said. "I really feel that this process was delayed unnecessarily because of the way the information was presented to us." Mayor Mark Walas disagreed, saying J.L. Richards had fulfilled its contractual commitment, and "it was more on council that (it) has delayed making the appropriate decision." Director of finance Linda Widdifield will prepare a report showing how the municipality will pay for the project, using reserves, grants (if available) and long-term borrowing.

theft of funds took place earlier this year. "We need the town to release the money that they committed to us ($25,000)," he said. The group also needs to get its charitable tax number, which it thought it had until it learned otherwise when the theft came to light. Once it has the number, perhaps in another three to four weeks, "it will show the community that we are who we say we are." "We think there are people out there waiting for a number before they make another donation," Sharp said. The province has committed $100,000 to the project - double what it agreed to contribute originally because of the money that had been misappropriated, Sharp said. He said work will begin soon on putting new shingles on the 19th-century lighthouse.

The closing date is the end of July, but the conservancy would like to have all the funding in place by the end of June. "If we don't get the funds at that point, we'll take out a loan because we're totally committed to completion of this project," Stabb said. "We are quite interested in what that property could be used for in terms of bird watching." Councillor Stephen Baker proposed the municipality show its support with a donation.

Penalty box – an area used for solitary (most times) confinement Most of us have a pastime that stimulates the mind, improves the body or enriches the soul. Fortunate are the few who combine all three in one pursuit, say rollerblading while listening to an audio recording of Immanuel Kant's works. My diversion in recent years has been to put together a vocabulary particular to one sport: hockey. The terms and phrases are familiar to diehard fans, but I thought a lexicon for those new to the game might be of service in accelerating their understanding of what is really meant when pundits employ them. One working title for this original work is 'The (New Jersey) Devils' Dictionary,' in tribute to its inspirational source, The Devil's Dictionary, by Ambrose Bierce, who also wrote for a weekly newspaper. Here's another connection we share: The acerbic American writer went missing in 1903 while in Mexico and was never seen again. I get lost in Toronto.

JOHN CAMPBELL Column his sentence in full. Delay of game - An act that causes play to halt in an unacceptable manner, such as chipping the puck over the glass in one's end, but more often than not involves a linesman dropping the puck. Laudmouth - A fan who loudly proclaims the greatness of his team. Goon - An athlete whose skills, such as they are, are plied in one sport, hockey, when better suited for another, UFC. Icing - An act of desperation or a poorly executed pass; one relieves pressure, the other causes it. Referee - A visually impaired official of limited intellect and even less scruples employed by the National Hockey League to give the appearance of rules being applied and order maintained. The Code - A set of rules, too ridiculous to be written down, adhered to by the too gullible. One last definition, written in advance of this year's NHL draft: Prospect - a player who shows promise in the eyes of a scout, only to have it ruined in the hands of a coach. – John Campbell is a reporter with the Brighton Independent.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • There's reason development issues unresolved, councillor writes Dear Editor: Re: Builder regrets swearing at councillor; Brighton Independent, June 21, 2018 The subject article does not describe the aggression of Jim Waterhouse, of Henderson Developments, during the June 11, 2018 council planning meeting. Waterhouse leapt up from his chair, lunged forward and used profane language. What was I doing at the time? I was asking Brighton's ex-planner, Steve Ashton, a question related to a motion about taxpayer complaints about roads
left dirty and muddy by the work of Gordon Tobey Developments Ltd. in the vicinity of the Hamilton Woods Subdivision; an issue that has remained unresolved for at least one year. In complete disregard for Brighton council's procedural bylaw - and without seeking all of council's approval - Brighton's mayor Mark Walas invited developer, Stephen Tobey, to debate and speak to the issue. When I was asking Ashton if there was anything in the Hamilton Woods Subdivision subdivision agreement directing the cleaning of roads, Waterhouse lunged forward yelling. What was Ashton's response to my question? "I don't read the subdivision agreements daily." Prior to the debate on the motion related to dirty

roads in the area of Tobey's Hamilton Woods Subdivision, three Brighton taxpayers spoke about water drainage issues in another subdivision, Applewood Meadows. And this happens too often. Brighton taxpayers feel compelled to come to most every council meeting to try to resolve - sometimes long-standing drainage and other issues in and around new subdivisions. This should not be happening. The role of council is clear. It is here to regulate development, not to defend and make excuses for the actions and inactions of developers. The Municipal Act is also very clear when it states that one of the roles of council is "to ensure the accountability and transparency of the operations of the munici-
pality, including the activities of the senior management of the municipality." I have written the following in other places. It may be that there are - in other municipalities - developers who are mayors. And it may be that these mayors very successfully separate their development activities from their mayoral duties. I feel this is not the case in Brighton. Brighton mayor Walas' animus toward those councillors who dare question or oppose his own developments is crystal clear at every council meeting. And I believe that until there is a change in the mayor's chair, issues - like drainage and dirty roads in and about subdivision developments - will continue, unresolved. John Martinello Brighton

Inseparable pair provide welcome happy distraction at hospice JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Warkworth Leslie Abram owes her induction into the June Callwood Circle of Volunteers this year to her good friend Walter, who's only six years old - and a shepherd/poodle cross. The two of them have been visiting residents at the Bridge Hospice once a week for more than three years and Abram's talent and dedication as a handler and Walter's ability to connect with all those he meets have proved a winning combination. "They both read hospice residents' needs beautifully, and can offer laughter-filled visits or simply be quiet, supportive companions at bedside," the Bridge Hospice said in a submission nominating the pair. "As a team, they know words are unnecessary for
true companionship. Together they have brought tears of joy to residents who reminisce about long-gone pets, and provide a much-needed happy distraction for loved ones." There were 48 individuals inducted in the June Callwood Circle of Volunteers this year by Hospice Palliative Ontario in recognition of their dedication to bringing compassionate care to individuals and their families. "The thing that Walter has taught me (is) that to be with someone and be their friend, words aren't necessary," Abram said in an interview. "You just need to be there. "He brings so much joy to people and he can't even talk," she added. Even though he can't, "he's still offering so much friendship and love and joy to people. He's really taught me a lot just watching how he is.
"He really uplifts the mood of the staff and the volunteers who work there as well," Abram said. "Sometimes the families just need a break from the seriousness of the situation. They just want to play with him and pat him." Also recognized at the annual general meeting of the Bridge Hospice this month was Susanne Langford, who was chosen as the first recipient of the Ken Partridge Volunteer Award. It was established in honour of a man who had "a generous heart" and was a longtime volunteer with the hospice until his death last November. His contributions were significant and "too numerous to mention," hospice director of clinical services and operations KerriAnne Wilson said. Langford, a retired nurse, began volunteering more than two years ago and has
impressed the hospice's administrative staff and medical professionals with her dedication, attention to detail and ability to make things happen. "Her compassion and keen wit always help our residents and families and visitors feel right at home," Wilson said. In her last meeting as chair of the Bridge Hospice Jan Hux thanked volunteers for the quality of emotional support they provide to residents and families. "We are grateful to all our volunteers for their courage, for the way they build community, and for their essential contribution to the success of the Bridge Hospice," she said. Hux also thanked Margaret James, a consultant who donated her time to helping the hospice develop a brand last winter that tells its story.

Grade 8 graduation a special moment for Campbellford student
JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com TRENT HILLS - Isaac McFadyen graduated from Grade 8 this week - a special occasion that didn't seem possible a year ago. "We almost lost him," said his father, Andrew. Isaac, who was born with an extremely rare disorder called MPS VI that causes progressive damage to the body as a result of an enzyme deficiency, experienced "some very serious complications" following neurosurgery at SickKids. The operation took place on Good Friday, 2017 - his 13th birthday. Isaac's condition wors-
A year ago it didn't seem likely that Isaac McFadyen and his father Andrew would ever see the day he'd graduate from Grade 8 at Kent Public School. It happened on Monday, June 24. John Campbell/Metroland
ened over the next five days, "so much so he crashed and they called a Code Blue," his father said. Code Blue is the term used for a medical emergency signifying a patient is dying.
McFadyen appointed to Clinical Research Pathways Andrew McFadyen was a teacher but resigned to devote himself to finding a cure for his son as the executive director of The Isaac Foundation that he and his wife founded in 2006. It has handed out more than a million dollars for research since its creation. He is the head as well of Equal Access for Rare Disorders, also based in Trent Hills, and the two organizations together help patients and families who are dealing with rare diseases. McFadyen sits on numerous boards. His most recent appointment was to Clinical Research Pathways, a public charity that describes itself as working "to improve health and well-being for all by creating pathways to new medicines. The organization seeks to increase diversity in research, enhance access to new medicines and help make new, effective treat-
ments available to the public." In announcing his appointment, Clinical Research Pathways said McFadyen "has led advocacy efforts on behalf of patients throughout North America and has helped shape Canada's public policy on providing government funding for costprohibitive treatments for children who are dying of rare diseases." "I feel like any work that I do out there on behalf of patients as a whole should have a positive effect on my own son as well, because he is one of those patients out there in need," McFadyen said.

The second operation saved him but "the recovery after that was long and difficult and arduous," McFadyen said. "The fight back was hard." He and his wife Ellen are "still coming to terms with that whole experience, but it's made easier seeing how well he's doing now every day," he said. It also helps to know that the science behind finding a cure is evolving rapidly. A clinical trial on gene therapy currently underway is generating data that "so far looks incredible and could prove to be
curative," McFadyen said. "We hope to have some exciting news to share with the world soon." Isaac still goes to SickKids every week for 12 hours of enzyme replacement therapy, as he has done since he was 18 months old. "That's our lifeboat, trying to keep him stable long enough for us to be able to find a cure," McFadyen said. His son has endured much but has stood up to the adversity. "He's so strong," McFadyen said. Even when he was hooked up to a breathing machine in the ICU and was "really in dire straits," McFadyen said he told his parents: "I really wish that I was the sickest person in here because then that means every other kid that's in here fighting besides me is doing better than I am." At a time when he's "literally fighting for his life ... for him to think of other people is pretty remark-
able," his father said. But then he always has. "We're learning every day from his strength," McFadyen said, and "he grows stronger every day." What they went

Ask a Dentist ?
Why are Dentists so important?
Well the obvious fact is that with regular dental check-ups, a Dentist helps to keep your teeth and gums healthy. The Canadian Dental Association recommends a visit to your dentist be every six months. This is to maintain the health of your teeth and gums, and it is essential to follow good daily oral hygiene to keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy between visits. A Dentist will carefully examine your overall dental health, as well as your overall physical health. Did you know that Dentists have detected many health issues in their patients that have not otherwise been caught by their physicians? Dentists have saved many lives by identifying diseases such as diabetes, anemia, and even cancer.
northumberlandnews.com
So, the next time you’re in to see your dentist, ask questions, be informed, and be aware of what is going on in Your mouth.

Leaf & Yard Waste Collection Program
Top administrator at ENSS to become school board's first principal coach
Collection Schedule The Table below shows your designated LEAF & YARD WASTE SET OUT DATE, for July, in comparison to your REGULAR GARBAGE & RECYCLING COLLECTION DAY.
JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com BRIGHTON - Charlotte Filip, principal of East Northumberland Secondary School for the past two years, has been chosen to fill a new position created by the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board. "I'm going to become a principal coach for the special education department," she said Thursday night following the school's athletic awards banquet where she announced she would be moving on. "I'm very excited about this opportunity," Filip said. "Throughout our board we have lots of special education needs and our supports continue to grow." Her role will be to support principals, special education teams and families "predominantly in the Northumberland area." Filip said the board's director of education, Jennifer Leclerc "has been very, very supportive and so has our board of trustees (in making) sure our special education needs are met." A special education specialist, Filip said she is "very passionate" about that area of teaching as well as inclusion, and has been an advocate as a teacher and as an administrator throughout her career. Chosen to be her replacement at East Northumberland Secondary

Charlotte Filip is excited she's been chosen by the school board to become its first principal coach for special education. School (ENSS) is Karin MacKenzie-Russell, currently the principal at Port Hope High School. Filip isn't the only top staff member leaving the high school. "Actually all three admin. are leaving ENSS," she said. The other two are her vice-principals, Victoria Dunn and Lisa Hickman. "So lots of changes," Filip said. Dunn will become viceprincipal at Crestwood Secondary School and Hickman will assume the same role at the Centre for Individual Studies in Cobourg. Taking their place are Keith Piette, currently the vice-principal at Brighton Public School, and Tracey
Burke, who's the viceprincipal at Crestwood. "It will be very hard to leave ENSS, when I think of all my time (here) as a student, a vice-principal (and) principal," Filip said. After spending 10 years in total at ENSS she's "very strongly attached to our school," and will always "bleed a little blue and gold," the school's colours, no matter where she goes. "I just consider myself very privileged to have served as principal at ENSS, but I know it will be left in good hands with Karin," she continued. Her replacement will be coming to "a pretty special place" with a teaching staff that's "second to none."
Reminder: Note:
Tie your brush into bundles no longer than 3 ft., and with no material larger than 2” diameter.
Each bag/bundle must weigh less than 40 pounds (18 kg).
There is no limit to the number of paper leaf & yard waste bags or bundles of brush for collection.
Roll tops of the bag shut. Rolling the top sheds the rain and snow and prevents leaves from falling or blowing out

Tournament raises $7,000-plus for literacy program JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com
CAMPBELLFORD - The Bailey McDonald Memorial Ball Tournament hit a home run as a first-time fundraiser. The June 9 event brought in $7,345 for the Bailey McDonald Memorial Literacy Foundation and Bail's Book Club, a program launched by Trent Hills Public Library last October in honour of the young man who was killed in an industrial accident in January 2017. His family provided the funds to start the program, which promotes literacy among students in grades 4 and 5. Bags of books are also placed in police cruisers and fire trucks for use in emergencies as a way to calm children needing comfort during difficult circumstances. Twelve teams took part in
the mixed three-pitch tournament, which included a barbecue and raffles as part of the fundraiser. "We were hoping to make a little bit of money, but I never in my wildest dreams thought we would be over $7,000 (in net proceeds)," Cathy McDonald, Bailey's mother, said. Rod Torrance, Baily's softball coach when he played for the Campbellford Cougars, organized the tournament. "Saturday was such a great day, (it) couldn't have been any better," he said in an email. "We had so many people just dropping in for a burger, watch a game of ball and show their support." Torrance, who said he had "a lot of good help getting ready for the day," offered a big thank you to all those who supported the event. "We are already making plans for next year's tourna-
ment," he said. The McDonald family made literacy their cause because Bailey struggled with reading as a student. His story is told in a message from his family on the bookmarks the students are given: "Bailey was an energetic young man, with a passion for all things outdoors. He loved his truck, hunting, fishing, blue jeans and camo. He had a lot of great friends and was very kind to all of his family. Bailey would be so happy to know that he was helping a young person like you through this reading program. As hard as it may seem right now, don't give up. Keep trying and have fun." Library CEO Mary Jo Mahoney said she's "very shocked by how receptive the kids have been," and she praised the McDonalds for what they have done.
"This family is absolutely remarkable," she said. The 24 students in the program, nine and 10 years old, love coming to the library every other week, children's librarian Brianne Parr said. "They really think about what they're reading for Bailey." The library has also staged a scavenger hunt and invited an author to speak to the youngsters. "We've tried to make it fun, and it's gone really well," Parr said. "It chokes you up a little bit," Cathy McDonald said, knowing how well Bail's Book Club is doing and the support it has received. "It's very humbling." "Hopefully we can just keep it going and it will last for years and years and years to come," she said. "We're honoured to be a part of it," Parr said.
John Campbell/Metroland
Members of Bailey McDonald's family - his father Rob, his brother Zach, and his mother Cathy - are pleased the literacy program they launched with Trent Hills Public Library is doing so well, a sentiment shared by library CEO Mary Jo Mahoney and children's librarian Brianne Parr.
Keystone Orange unbeaten in outdoor soccer league JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com
northumberlandnews.com
BRIGHTON - Four games into the season the Brighton Keystone Orange remain unbeaten in the Bay of Quinte Men's Outdoor Soccer League. Keystone opened with a 1-1 tie on May 24, play-
ing the Hellenics. Alex Birch scored the lone Brighton goal. The Orange defeated A & E Ceramic Tile and Marble Ltd. 4-1 in its next game, on May 31. Sawyer Michel, Mason Steen, Kyle Couperus, and Mark Macaulay provided the offence. The team's second
win, on June 7, was a much closer affair, 3-2 over RO Azzurri. Goals by Brennan Thompson, Matt Christian and Chance White proved the difference. Macaulay scored the game's lone goal in Brighton's 1-0 win over the Trenton Sockers on June 14.

Brighton's Own: Golden girl
Betty Buck still resides on farm she moved to back in 1962 Nonagenarian Betty Buck, inherited her mother's genes. Her Mom lived to 98. "My mother emigrated from Aberdeen, Scotland and met my father after he came back home to Bancroft from seeing heavy action in the First World War. They got married on Christmas Day, and decided to make their fortune out west." Although they did not make their fortune, they gained something far more precious: Buck was born in the small town of Green Meadows, Alberta. A year-and-a-half later, the family returned to Bancroft where they would raise two sons and another daughter. In 1938, when her fa-
VIC SCHUKOV Column ther and eldest brother went to the Second World War, the rest of the family moved to Toronto where her Mom had relatives. At 17, Buck went to work in the Robert Simpson Company. She would remain there for 15 years. "I was quite independent, a trait I inherited from Dad. In Toronto, I met my future husband Jim, a young man from Trenton who came home from the war to a job in Canadian Pacific Railway as a train engineer. I met him at a Masonic Hall New Year's Eve dance. We went together for 13 years, as friends. Jim loved
hunting with Corey Scriver's local Brighton gang and we came here every year to the Masonic New Year's dances. One day, a friend told Jim of a 90-acre farm for sale here and said, 'Why don't you buy it?'" So, in order to be back in nature, Jim purchased the Brighton farm and got a job transfer to Trenton. There was just one more thing he had to do: "He asked me, 'Would you consider getting married and moving down to the country?' I discussed it with my mother. And she liked him better than she liked me. (Laughing.) Anyway, we finally got married when I was 38. We came to Brighton a year later in 1962, and here I am still on the farm (in a Heritage House) and Jim has been gone for 16 years. He was a good man." Over the years, the happy couple travelled - a lot. While seeing the world, Buck also did tons of volunteer work. She

Although many animals may be docile and domesticated, they can still be unpredictable animals that are startled by yelling or loud noises also may become restless and dangerous. Children should understand that animals may unintentionally cause injuries. It may be in a horse’s defense mechanism to kick when it is scared. To avoid such injuries, never approach animals from behind. Also, when baby animals are present, females may be protective of her brood and go on defense. For Professional, Friendly Service Contact

Learning simple skills that could save a loved one’s life in an emergency is essential knowledge you’ll never regret acquiring. Here are three skills every parent, young adult and older adult should have: 1. CPR. Learning how to perform CPR properly through an in-person or online class is easy, but can be used in many emergencies. This includes heart attacks, sudden cardiac arrest, drowning, and choking. This life-saving technique which consist of pushing hard and fast in the center of the chest can be used on adults, children and infants (but not newborns) to keep oxygenated blood flowing to the brain and other vital organs until first responders arrive. Many CPR courses also offer first aid training as well. 2. Using an AED. An automated external defibrillator is a device that checks a person’s heart and delivers an electric shock if it has stopped beating normally. Designed to let you deliver a shock only if it determines one is needed, AEDs like the Philips HeartStart are safe and easy to use. It has a simple step-by-step process with clear, adaptive voice instructions to help
even the most inexperienced responders. According to Heart and Stroke Foundation, taking action by doing CPR and using an AED quickly is extremely important because most cardiac arrests happen at home or in a public place. It’s so common that it barely makes a ripple in the news, yet a growing number of Canadians are alive today because someone saw them collapse and had the courage to quickly start CPR and use an AED. 3. Treating hypothermia. This skill is equally useful in the winter and summer, as freezing cold temperatures in the air and lakes and other bodies of water can lead to hypothermia any time of the year. Call 911 for immediate medical attention first, then gently move the person out of the cold, remove wet clothing and cover with blankets. Give them warm beverages and warm, dry compresses, apply only to the neck, chest wall or groin. Don’t apply direct heat, and monitor the person’s breathing in case they need CPR.

Did you know that humans are the only adult animal species that continues to consume “milk” through dairy products. While most animals wean off of their mother’s milk after infancy, humans across the globe have been consuming products produced by cow, sheep or goat milk for thousands of years. And the benefits can be numerous. Human body grows to accept milk

The many health benefits of dairy
Although dairy doubters are quick to mention that it is not“natural”for humans to consume milk products into adulthood and that the body is not designed to digest the sugars and proteins in dairy, others are saying that centuries of farming have led to the evolution of human genes so that dairy products can be included in the diet. According to a study published in 2013 in the journal Nature, archaeologist Peter Bogucki was excavating a Stone Age site in the fertile plains of central Poland in the 1970s when he came across various artifacts. One seemed to be an early pottery strainer used in cheese-making. The pottery was studied, and milk proteins were found on it. As farming replaced hunting and gathering in many areas of the world, it’s surmised that the human body slowly evolved to tolerate milk into adulthood, especially if it was fermented, such as in cheese or yogurt. Several thousand years later, it’s believed that a genetic mutation spread through Europe that gave people the ability to produce lactase — the enzyme necessary to digest the lactose sugar in dairy — and drink milk. Many people who retain the ability to digest milk can trace their ancestry to Europe, according to a group of scientists brought together to work on a multidisciplinary project called LeCHE (Lactase Persistence in the early Cultural History of Europe). There are other dairy pockets from West Africa, the Middle East and South Asia. Dairy’s present-day benefits Today we know that dairy is an important source of nutrients at all ages and stages of growth. Southeast United Dairy Industry Association, Inc. says that dairy is a great source of protein, calcium, carbohydrates, phosphorus, potassium, and vitamins A, D, B12, riboflavin, and niacin. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says that the calcium in dairy products is used for building bones and teeth and in maintaining bone mass. Diets with sufficient potassium may help to maintain healthy blood pressure. Additionally, vitamin D functions in the body to maintain ideal levels of calcium and phosphorous so that bones are built and maintained. The Australian Dietary Guidelines say that consumption of milk, cheese and yogurt is linked to a reduced risk of heart disease, stroke, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and colorectal cancer. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans encourage children and adults to enjoy three servings of low-fat or fat-free milk, cheese or yogurt each day. Canada’s Food Guide recommends between three and four servings for children in the preteen and teenage years and two to three servings for adults. Dairy can be a nutritious part of a healthy diet, and history suggests it has been for quite some time.
