“Something for everybody� at high school’s 60th reunion By John Campbell

News - Brighton - It will be like old times for hundreds of former students when they show up for East Northumberland Secondary School’s 60th anniversary celebrations in less than three months. “We’ve got a wonderful weekend lined up for not just the Brighton community but for all of the former students,â€? ENSS principal Jeff Kawzenuk said. “It will be an exciting time, I’m really looking forward to it ‌ We have something for everybody.â€? The fun begins May 1 with a meetand-greet reception at the high school beginning at 4 p.m. An Arts Gala Evening is planned for the evening in the Terry Fox Auditorium where alumni who starred in the school’s hugely popular musicals will perform once again, including drama teacher Paul Hussey. An alumni barbecue lunch will take place in the gym May 2 beginning at 11 a.m. followed by opening ceremonies at 1 p.m. A meet-and-greet for retired staff will be held in the library in the afternoon. There will be special displays set up for tours of the school. “The school has changed incredibly since 1955,â€? said committee member Cathy Herrington, the school’s head secretary, who started work at ENSS More than a dozen people, including, l-r, ENSS principal Jeff Kawzenuk, Bob Bird (retired ENSS vice-principal), drama teacher Paul Hussey, head secretary Cathy Herrington and arts department head Angela Please see “Schoolâ€? on page 5 Young, have been hard at work making plans to hold a reunion in connection with the high school’s 60th anniversary celebrations in May.

News - Brighton - Council member confusion over the Brighton Library Board proposed budget had library CEO Mellissa D’Onofrio-Jones a little concerned. “The Library Board provided a detailed multiple-page report to council and municipal staff regarding our increase on December 5, and we made a presentation to council and staff at the budget meeting [on Tuesday, January 6] where no questions were asked regarding the Library Board 2015 proposed increase, D’OnofrioJones wrote in an e-mail. She said she couldn’t understand why council members indicated she had not provided enough information explaining the $101,000 increase over last year’s budget. The 2014 budget was $302,000 and requested for 2015 is $403,526. During her presentation to council on January 6, D’Onofrio-Jones said 2014 actuals were more than budgeted owing to retroactive pay equity, and

that $18,500 of the increase for 2015 is to keep the pay equity on track. There is also a loss of $9,210 in community development charges. In her report to council on December 5, D’Onofrio-Jones said the main increase is in wages, with a request for a new hire for a full-time library clerk. And she had the numbers to back up her claims for the need of a new staffer. “On average, BPL [Brighton Public Library] staff conduct 61.87 physical circulations per hour open,” she said. “Our staff currently catalogue and process new items, prepare and implement programs, process donations, check items in and re-shelve, work with individuals on technology queries related to things like computer use, database services, downloading e-books, printing, how to use email, etc., while simultaneously processing the 61.87 physical circulations per hour.” She said the addition of one staffer would allow better reference and reader’s advisory services … and could greatly assist in serving the public and current staff in workloads. “One additional full-time staff member would allow for potential programming in the community such as school visits or pop-up libraries that are currently not possible due to work load,” she said in her report. “The Ontario Public Library Guidelines says the staffing level should be 4.7, but we’re only asking for three,” she said in an interview. Salaries were budgeted at $204,072 in 2014, and between pay equity and an additional staffer, salaries are estimated at $252,452 for 2015. This would also create an increase in employee benefits from $57,000 to $94,313. Also included in the budget is an expense/revenue of $30,000 for space that “is a wash” but it has not been included in the budget previously. D’Onofrio-Jones said the board has been very honest over expenses, to the point where increased revenues are being recorded. “If you look at our numbers, the difference is a lot more than the $101,000, but we included higher revenues,” she said. “The numbers are powerful … we’re a busy place,” she said. Asked what would happen if the municipality didn’t cover even the costs of pay equity increases, she said the library might have to reduce its hours. A special meeting was called for Wednesday, January 14, at 7 p.m. in the library to discuss the matter.

cial media to reach out to the thousands of people who have attended ENSS at some point since it opened in 1955. “I figure about 12,000 have come through the building,” Herrington said. Bird arrived there in 1957 as a teacher and retired as viceprincipal in 1987. During his tenure he saw the student population increase from 320 and reach a peak of about 1,500 in the 1970s; today it’s not quite 1,100. Teaching at the school was and is “an absolute dream,” Bird said. It’s “a great school” that’s “really well noted” for what it’s

Fire destroys car, police lay careless driving charge News - Trent Hills – Fire destroyed a 2002 CRV that had smashed into a tree on Concession Road 8 East. Northumberland OPP responded to a report of a car on fire around 8 p.m. January 1 but

Angela Young, head of the school’s arts department, said the gala is still being put together but the response from students invited to reprise their roles in musicals “has been great.” They’ll sing numbers from

productions dating back to the 1970s, and possibly earlier, as more alumni respond to requests for their participation. “We’re thrilled with who has agreed to come back,” she said. The arts department is “super, super excited about this gala. It’s “going to be the hottest ticket in town.” There will be no rehearsals for the performers other than what they can arrange on their own online, through Skype, or in person where they live, Young said. “Once those kids act together

LIFESTYLES LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

My crystal ball shows never-ending wars abroad and journalistic integrity. We all know Conservatives have the biggest bag of advertising money which Irving Gerstein has raised from their wealthy business friends. Mr. Petrick need not have added for free, “I’m sorry Justin Trudeau fans, but the young Liberal leader isn’t ready yet.â€? Exactly how does Mr. Petrick know this? Has he ever even met Justin Trudeau? Oh right! Stephen Harper said it ‌ again and again and again. It must be true! Conservatives have spent millions in past campaigns smearing Liberal leaders and they know very well that “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it,â€? courtesy of that exemplar of Nazi propaganda, Joseph Goebbels. Many old Progressive Conservatives have even been fooled into believing Harper’s evangelical-based Canadian Reform-Alliance Party is their old Progressive Conservative Party. It is not.

Harper has the money, political power and media exposure to control the average Canadians’ worldview. Mr. Petrick proves that point with his own words. Harper is a master of talking points and the longer he is in power the more control of “information-we-are-allowedto-hear� he will achieve. Although I am not a great admirer of the American way in general they got it right when they made a two-term limit for their president. Harper will hold onto power as long as he can fool us into allowing him to remain as our Prime Minister. As I watched Harper the other night decrying the insane religious-based massacres in Paris his hypocrisy shone brightly. Any rational person feels disgust at what happened and has great sympathy for the families, friends and colleagues of the French cartoonists who were murdered. Insane religiousfuelled cowards killed unarmed citizens. It makes no sense to any of us. At the

same time, stealthily, in well-planned incremental steps, Harper moves ever closer to controlling our freedom of information here in Canada. Harper is slowly but surely ďŹ nancially starving our National Broadcaster to death. It is well known that he and his people were behind the establishment of Sun TV, commonly called Fox News North, where Ezra Levant is given copious air time to spew his rabid pro-HarperConservative dogma on a daily basis. I would much prefer my tax dollars be spent on CBC Radio where intelligent, informative and unbiased programming ties Canada together each day. It is the only Canadian station which promotes Canadian musicians, writers, artists and our cultural community in general. Harper prefers to spend our treasury killing people in foreign countries and he is inexorably dragging us into the endless American war in Iraq which he so badly wanted to help George Bush

with back in March of 2003. If voters take a non-partisan, informed look at the Canada Harper is really creating they may prove Mr. Petrick’s crystal ball to be wrong about the outcome of our 2015 election. I for one want my old Canada back. The Canada which made me proud to wear my baseball cap with the Canadian ag on it when I visited foreign countries. Harper has changed our status to the point where we are now afraid or embarrassed to do so. He cynically uses terrorist atrocities and war rhetoric only for his political advantage. First you scare the people. Then you tell them how you are going to save them. What really scares me is my vision of the Canada we will be living in by 2020 if Mr. Petrick’s crystal ball really can see our political future just nine months from now. Alan Coxwell, Stirling

Brighton’s downtown at the Gas stations are closing, why crossroads open a new one?

Dear Editor, On Sunday, January 18, Brighton will celebrate the ofďŹ cial launch of its Downtown Revitalization Project. Undertaken under the auspices of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, this project commits the municipality to extensive community consultation to build a picture of our community’s needs for the downtown, what types of businesses it can sustain and the role and function of our downtown as a community space. In short, the aim is to develop a collective vision of the future for downtown, which will guide its future development. In an ironic twist of fate, the very next day on January 19, council will consider an application for rezoning to permit a new gas bar in the heart of the downtown area at the junction of Prince Edward and Elizabeth streets. Not only would approval of that rezoning undermine the whole approach of building a collective vision to guide the redevelopment process but it would

contradict the understood role, as outlined in the Municipal OfďŹ cial Plan, of the “Commercial Coreâ€? as the principal retail centre, a pedestrian shopping area unsuitable for uses that require “high vehicular trafďŹ c movements.â€? Downtown is the beating heart of our community, not only as the principal retail centre but a place for community events and recreation activities. We need to nurture it to maintain our identity as a distinctive community. Permitting this development would take us in the opposite direction, one step closer to “Downtown anywhere.â€? Our community deserves better. At least two members of council have already publicly committed to supporting the rezoning and if voting trends at previous council meetings continue there is a real risk that the application will be approved on Monday evening. Only the voice of the people can make a difference, I urge all Brighton citizens to join me in speaking out against this misguided proposal. Dave Cutler, Brighton

Dear Editor, Brighton Council will soon be reviewing an application to erect a Mac’s retail outlet at the corner of Elizabeth and Prince Edward. The proposal will include a gas station. This is the same site that was abandoned by Imperial Oil nearly ten years ago. After much effort by many, the site was decontaminated of the dangerous chemicals that had accumulated over the years. With that in mind, why would any serious governing body even consider allowing history to repeat itself? A shortage of locations in town to serve motorists’ needs? It would hardly appear so. There is an operational gas station directly across the street. There is another one just east at the supermarket. A new gas station going in at Highway 30 and the 401 will be coming online. The gas station up 30 at the junction of Highway 26 is shuttered, for the third time in ten years and

Dear Editor: Stephen Petrick, your guest editorialist on January 8, whose Canadian political prophecy appeared just to the right of Gwynne Dyer’s cogent analysis of “The Oil Warâ€? on page 7, apparently has access to a rather clear crystal ball. He has visions of a landslide victory for Conservatives in the new Hastings-Lennox & Addington Federal Riding on October 15, assuming Stephen Harper does not once again break his own law of a â€œďŹ xed election dateâ€? as he did in 2008. The closer one watches Harper’s political manipulations the more â€œďŹ xedâ€? his entire “democratic processâ€? appears to be here in 2015. Mr. Petrick is entitled to his guess as to what might happen nine months from now in the forthcoming federal election but when he lowers himself to singing with the Conservative Choir in the following paragraphs I must really question his political impartiality

OPINION

Tasteless cartoons are no reason for murder

Asylum seekers: The limits of tolerance Editorial - The language of the immigration debate in Germany has got harsh and extreme. German Chancellor Angela Merkel attacked the anti-immigration movement in her New Year speech, saying its leaders have “prejudice, coldness, even hatred in their hearts.” The “anti-Islamisation” protests all across Germany Gwynne Dyer on Monday fizzled out in the end; 18,000 people showed up at one rally in Dresden, where the weekly protests by the Patriotic Europeans against the Islamisation of the West (Pegida) began last October, but that hardly counted because there are few Muslims—indeed few immigrants of any sort—in Dresden. Anti-immigrant sentiment in Western countries is always highest where there are few or no immigrants. In big German cities like Hamburg, Berlin and Stuttgart that do have large immigrant populations, the counter-demonstrators outnumbered the Pegida protesters ten-to-one. But the debate is not over. Germany is taking in more immigrants that ever before: some 600,000 this year. That’s not an intolerable number for a country of 82 million, but it does mean that if current trends persist, the number of foreign-born residents will almost double to 15 million in just ten years. That will take some getting used to—and there’s another thing. A high proportion of the new arrivals in Germany are Muslim refugees. Two-thirds of those 600,000 newcomers in 2014 were people from other countries of the European Union where work is scarce or living standards are lower. They have the legal right to come under EU rules, and there’s really nothing Germany can do about it. Besides, few of the EU immigrants are Muslims. The other 200,000, however, are almost all refugees who are seeking asylum in Germany. The number has almost doubled in the past year, and will certainly grow even larger this year. And the great majority of the asylum-seekers are Muslims. This is not a Muslim plot to colonise Europe. It’s just that a large majority of the refugees in the world are Muslims. At least three-quarters of the world’s larger wars are civil wars in Muslim countries like Syria (by far the biggest source of new refugees), Iraq, Yemen, Somalia, Afghanistan and Libya. Many of these refugees end up in other predominantly Muslim countries (like Lebanon, where between a quarter and a third of the population is now Syrian refugees). But Europe is relatively close, and a much better place to be if you can get there: each asylum-seeker who is accepted by

Germany gets free accommodation, food, medical care and clothing. Adults also get $160 a month. Moreover, if they make it to Europe, the war cannot follow them. Every country has an obligation to accept and protect legitimate refugees seeking asylum, but in practice some dodge their responsibilities. Last year the United Kingdom, which has 65 million people, accepted less than half as many refugees as Sweden, which has 10 million people. But even the bestintentioned countries, like Germany, are starting to show the strain. It’s easy to mock the fears of Germany’s “Patriotic Europeans against the Islamisation of the West”—only five per cent of Germany’s population is Muslim. But nine per cent of the children born in Germany in recent years have Muslim parents because of the higher birth rates of Middle Eastern immigrants. If the current wave of asylum-seekers continues— and there is no particular reason to believe that the Syrian civil war will end soon—then Germany will add another two million Muslim immigrants to its population in the next decade. And they too will have higher birth rates than the locals. With its current asylum policy, Germany could be ten per cent Muslim ten years from now. You might reasonably ask: what’s wrong with having a ten per cent Muslim population? But it’s hard to think of a Muslim country that would welcome the relatively sudden arrival of a ten per cent Christian minority with equanimity. And special thanks to the Islamist thugs who committed the massacre at “Charlie Hebdo” in Paris on Wednesday for making it even harder for Europeans to see the difference between terrorist fanatics and ordinary Muslims. Most Europeans still try to see things in proportion and not judge all Muslims by the acts of a few, but they are failing more frequently. People are people, and their tolerance has limits. Even in Sweden, the most heroically open country in Europe, where they are expecting more than 100,000 asylum applications this year, former prime minister Fredrik Reinfeldt said just before last September’s election: “I’m now pleading with the Swedish people to have patience, to open your hearts, to see people in high distress whose lives are being threatened. Show them that openness, show them tolerance.” Once more, the Swedes did that. The mainstream parties, all of which share that vision of Sweden, have formed a coalition government that is pledged not to slam the gates shut on asylum-seekers. But the anti-immigration party, the Sweden Democrats, more than doubled its vote and became the thirdlargest party. Even in Sweden, time is running out on tolerance.

Editorial - One really has to wonder what goes on in some people’s minds to cause them to become so enraged by cartoons that it would bring them to massacre others. Extremist views tend to lead to extreme actions. And this isn’t the first time that people have been killed because of silly caricatures. Think back to what happened in 2005 when a Danish newspaper published a series of cartoons denigrating Mohammed. Many Muslims believe that any depiction of the Prophet Mohammed should be banned as they are taught to worship God and not Mohammed who was his messenger. Images of Mohammed could be confused with idolatry. Muslims around the world have condemned the attacks in France and rightly so. Even Hamas in the Gaza Strip issued a statement saying it, “condemns the attack against Charlie Hebdo magazine and insists on the fact that differences of opinion and thought cannot justify murder.” A grain of salt might be required with that one. Most of us were raised on cartoons, both as children and as adults checking out the daily editorial cartoons in newspapers like the Toronto Telegram, Toronto Star and the Globe. Many of those cartoons poked fun at politicians and most of us are of the opinion that politicians are fair game. I don’t remember seeing too many that ridiculed religion in general or singled out a particular religion for constant abuse. That wasn’t the case at Charlie Hebdo. This latest attack wasn’t unexpected, as the office had previously been firebombed for exactly the same reason, crappy caricatures. If you’ve seen the cartoons, you can attest to the fact that they weren’t anything to be proud of, they were poorly drawn, not funny and obviously in poor taste. Some border on racism. I guess that’s what some people call satire. Others may call it poking the bear. And others will say it’s an expression of free speech. The thing is, free speech is really a bit of a myth in most countries around the world. If you deny the Holocaust in France, you can go to jail. During the George W Bush years in the U.S., the Bushies decided that the public should have free speech zones well away from the action so Dubya wouldn’t have to listen to protesters when he spoke. Is that really free speech? In the States, people can’t even speak freely on their phones or send emails without worrying that someone is listening in and we aren’t much better off in the rest of the English speaking “Five Eyes” world of Britain, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. Does anyone think that the muzzling of

scientists by the Harper government is free speech in any way, shape or form? Does cutting funding for groups you don’t agree with sound like free speech? Does your local MP use all the Harper government’s sound bites or does he or she freely discuss the business of government with his or her constituents? In the U.S., can any senator or member of congress freely question anything the Israeli government does or do they keep their mouths shut to make sure the contributions keep coming their way and not to their opponents? From reading numerous stories on the Internet over the past few days, it seems many folks are wondering whether this murderous attack was the work of terrorists or another false flag operation to cow people into believing that losing their freedoms is the price they have to pay to stop terrorism; a cynical thought maybe but the approval ratings of presidents and prime ministers always go up when people live in fear. It was great to see millions of people marching in France and around the world in solidarity with the people of France. And it was also good to read that a Muslim man working at the grocery store that was also attacked managed to save six Jewish people by hiding them in the cold storage. Most people would have done the same regardless of religion. But it was disgusting to see so many world leaders taking advantage of the situation, walking arm in arm at the front of the march for their own political gain. More than one was there only because of upcoming elections in their own countries. To be seen is everything especially in a civilized country with the television cameras rolling. And many others marching were from countries that bankroll terrorists, crack down on free speech and regularly jail journalists. Does anyone else think the leaders or foreign ministers from countries such as Mali, Tunisia, Bahrain, Georgia, Bulgaria, Jordan or Egypt were hypocrites for showing up? Close to 2,000 people were killed by Boko Haram terrorists in Nigeria just the other day, one of the biggest acts of terrorism in history. You probably didn’t hear about it. How many of these same world leaders will be marching in that country? Fifty civilians were killed a couple of weeks ago by the U.S. when they bombed a makeshift ISIL jail in Syria. Did anyone see coverage of a march to commemorate those lives? Unfortunately we seem to be living in a world where only Western lives really matter. And that’s a tragedy too.

Downtown revitalization project launched

News - Brighton - Residents, business owners, and anyone interested in the future of Brighton’s downtown core, should stop by King Edward Community Centre on Sunday, January 18, at 2 p.m. for a preview of what the downtown revitalization project is all about. After a preview of the overall project from Heather Candler of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, visitors to the open house may take a look at various historical and informational displays pertaining to the evolution of downtown Brighton.

“This is an excellent opportunity for residents and business owners to come out, enjoy some social time, and learn more about this important community-led project,” Burke Friedrichkeit, chair of the Downtown Revitalization Advisory Committee, said. Phase one, the hiring of Economic Development and Revitalization Co-Ordinator Laurie Caouette, and the creation of an advisory committee, is already in full swing. The committee, comprised of business owners, property owners, and members of various municipal committee and commu-

nity organizations began meeting in October and is preparing to undertake the next phase of the process. “The second phase will focus on assessing our economic landscape,” said Caouette in a press release. “Over the next two months, members of the committee will be surveying local business owners to determine their current and future needs, marketing and sales trends and their perceptions of the downtown. At the same time, a resident survey will be available online and in print to gather information from the community regarding their shopping patterns, perceived retail and ser-

A BRIGHTON CHRISTMAS HAMPER VOLUNTEER COMMITTEE THANK YOU FOR 2014 The “Brighton CHRISTMAS HAMPER VOLUNTEER COMMITTEE” would like to say a really big thank you to the Town of Brighton, and the Town of Smithfield for all their support, donations and hard work. We would also like to say a very special “THANK YOU” to the Businesses, Service Clubs, Organizations, Churches, Individuals and volunteers etc., who donated food, vouchers, mittens, socks, games, toys, money, their efforts and volunteered time are really appreciated. There were about 150 or more volunteers who worked hard putting the Hampers together for pick up day. The Brighton Christmas Hampers are dependant on all the donations we receive every year. We would not be able to continue to help all the families in need in our area if it were not for the amazing financial support and all the donations of other much needed items we receive every year. It was really great having people donate items to our teenagers. Teenagers are an important part of their families, and they too need to feel special at Christmas. We did 59 teenagers in the Town of Brighton and Town of Smithfield this year, and you made them feel very special. You made Christmas very special for 157 children. There were 130 families who received Christmas Hampers. The donations and help we receive for this wonderful adventure were incredible. We are always in awe of how wonderful, generous and giving people are to others in need. Had we not received so much help it would not have been possible for us to assist all those who need help at this very special time of year. It was wonderful of five of our Police Officers to take time out of their busy schedules to come and help the people carry the food and gifts they were given in their Christmas Hampers to their cars on the pick up day. There were a lot of other volunteers who also worked hard, helping the people carry their Christmas Hampers to their cars. I know the people receiving assistance really appreciated all the efforts of these peoples help on the pick up day. It is hard to find the right words to express how grateful we are for all the help we received.

vice gaps, and what specific concerns and issues they have with the downtown area.” People interested in the downtown are being encouraged to fill out the survey online, a link will be set up on the <www.brighton. ca> website in conjunction with the launch. Questions include: how often do you visit the downtown, and what are your reasons for be-

ing there. And it’s not all about shopping there. there’s a question about why you “don’t” shop there. They also want your opinion on the appearance of the downtown and what other businesses you would like to see there. According to a press release, a community design workshop is also planned for the spring to identify key downtown physical

Committee future uncertain

By Joyce Cassin

News - Brighton - With the dissolution of the Brighton Creative Trade Centre by council in December, members of the downtown revitalization committee are worried the same fate will befall them. Nominations for chair were on the floor after the previous chair, Dave Cutler, resigned following the elimination of the BCTC, but no one jumped up to offer. “We don’t know where we stand with this council, so no,” said Elaine Poot, owner of The Robbins Nest, and Lorie Boychuk, owner of Mrs. B’s Country Candy, agreed. Finally, Burke Friedrichkeit, co-owner of Burken B & B, accepted the nomination. Elisha Purchase, current economic development manager for the municipality, said the municipality is focussed on branding and that if the BCTC is to move forward, it’s going to have to be

a grass roots project by the community. Committee member Anna Szurgot asked council representative Steve Baker if council is going to stand behind the revitalization project, “or are we just spinning our wheels?” Baker suggested that comment was unfair, but Szurgot said it looks like council’s focus seems to be on other things. “Are we wasting our time or are you guys going to actually listen this time?” Sheryl Delorme of Special Effects Decorating asked. She was referring to the 14 of 15 downtown business owners and other community members who spoke to council in December, advocating for the continued council support for the BCTC. “We want to work on this, but if council has already made up its mind, let us know,” Friedrichkeit said. Delorme said they’re looking

for support. “Are we going to have support with this, or are we going to be cut off at the knees again?” Delorme asked. Purchase said she feels very optimistic, and that council supported this project last year, and there’s a contract that takes the committee through to June 30, 2015. “I can honestly say there’s been no discussion about the downtown revitalization project one way or another,” Councillor Mary Tadman added. “I do think council needs to be more educated.” According to Purchase, all council members have been invited to the open house set for Sunday, January 18, at 2 p.m. at the King Edward Park Community Centre. “We need to know what the people of Brighton want and need,” said Friedrichkeit. “We are gathering information and we need everyone’s help.”

design priorities, future infrastructure needs and areas of improvement. “Input from the surveys, as well as the Community Design Workshop, will help the committee gain a solid understanding of the community’s needs, what types of businesses we can sustain and the role and function of our downtown,” Caouette said.

Continued from page 6

the one on the south side of County Road 2 has also closed. This would indicate a lack of demand. Reviewing nearby centres and their gas station population and we find that Colborne is once more down to one at Big Apple Drive, the outlet on Highway 2 is now closed—again. Grafton is now with one and you have to go some distance into Cobourg to come upon gasoline outlets, but nowhere will you find two competing almost side by side. It would appear that today’s vehicles, with their more efficient engines, are not like say, electric cars with their 200-kilometre range in need of multiple outlets. So again, the question, why are some of our elected members of council indicating a positive vote? If it is strictly for the tax revenue, it might be looked upon as emulating the oldest profession with the attitude of “anything for a dollar.” George Chandler, Brighton

Chief wants water/ice rescue training

News - Brighton - Having the ďŹ reďŹ ghters stuck on land isn’t helping people who fall through the ice as has happened recently in neighbouring communities, and Fire Chief Lloyd Hutchinson is asking for training and basic equipment to be included in the 2015 budget. “Right now we’re land-based and all

we’re allowed to do is stand there and throw a hoop out as far as we can ‌ and that isn’t very far,â€? Hutchinson told council during budget deliberations on Tuesday, January 6. He said that “entry levelâ€? would allow ďŹ reďŹ ghters to go out on the ice and rescue those in trouble. As well, when there are rescues out on the lake, or even a ďŹ re

on Jett Island up around Percy Boom, all they can do is stand on land and watch. “The Trent Hills Fire Department can boat over to Jett Island, and if we had our entry level certiďŹ cation, we could go across and ďŹ ght a ďŹ re as well,â€? Hutchinson said in an interview. During the budget meeting, Councillor Roger McMurray asked why the chief

felt the need for the $15,450 expense when the Brighton Auxiliary Rescue Unit is already in place. The BARU is a Coast Guard afďŹ liate that goes out on missions only during the warmer months. Hutchinson said the Rapid Deployment Craft, or swift water rescue boat, can be slid out on the ice to bring the rescuee back in to shore safely. Another item of contention was the recommended implementation plan from the Fire Master Plan that was approved by council in October 2013. A councillor asked that it be removed from the budget, but Hutchinson said, “Staff would like the implementation plan to be passed with the 2015 budget

process in order to provide direction for future years.â€? The total capital budget for the ďŹ re department is $58,100 and also includes the purchase of outdated self-contained breathing apparatus, multi-gas detectors, personal protection gear and other equipment as needed. Included in the future plans are items such as the purchase of a ladder truck in 2019, formalizing a tiered response with Northumberland County in December 2015, updating the mission statement in 2016 and developing a ďŹ re prevention policy. Hutchinson was directed to bring the implementation plan back to council later this year for council consideration.

Program will open door to trucking industry News - Northumberland - An information session will be held later this month for those interested in a career in the ourishing trucking industry. The January 29 meeting, organized by Northumberland County Community and Social Services and the Community Training and Development Centre, will give details about a four-month program the two organizations will soon offer that will ultimately see successful participants walk away with the licence needed to operate tractor-trailers in Ontario.

Province says more work needed to complete bridge study By John Campbell

News - Northumberland – The province has told Northumberland County its Environmental Study Report (ESR) on a new river crossing in Campbellford needs more work because it contains a number of “deficiencies.� 
Agatha Garcia-Wright, director of the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change’s environmental assessment and approvals branch, spelled out where the county came up short with its proposal to build a bridge between Alma and Second streets in a letter to the county’s director of transportation and waste management Mo Pannu December 19. Garcia-Wright said both the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte and the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport have “outstanding concerns� that need to be addressed in order for the ESR to be considered complete and in compliance with the requirements of a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment. She advised the county to consult with the Mohawks “and other potentially affected or interested Aboriginal communities to gain information relating to traditional land and water use and potential impacts to Aboriginal or treaty rights,� and to consult with the ministry of culture in order to complete a Stage 2 Archaeological Assessment “to identify and protect heritage properties.� Northumberland then must “include mitigation and impact management measures in the ESR,� Garcia-Wright said. Although the ministry’s order would seem to be a setback, given the length of time and amount of money spent to date on the project – seven years and hundreds of thousands of dollars - Pannu said in an email January 5 that requests for additional information by the environment ministry “are not uncommon or unanticipated in the EA process, especially for complex projects such as this.� The review process “is collaborative,� with the ministry and county working

Program will open door to trucking industry

together to ensure the EA is as “thorough as possible.� Pannu said the extra work required “will not largely impact the timelines for delivery of this project,� as there is “room built into [them] to accommodate this feedback process.� Foes of the proposed Second-Alma bridge were, as Frank Street resident Brenda Kotras put it, “delighted� with the ministry’s decision because it shows the environmental assessment “was not completed properly.� She has opposed the project on a number of grounds, including the impact it could have on her heritage neighbourhood, in generating noise and air pollution as well as “destroying� properties, and what it “will do to Campbellford,� by redirecting traffic away from the downtown business community. Alan Appleby saw the ministry’s demand for more consultation as vindication for concerns he and others have brought forward that not enough was being done to address issues they raised. “That’s twice now that the process has had to stop and go backward, because the consultants, and I guess [county] staff perhaps, haven’t been doing their job,� he said. The first consultants on the project, AECOM, recommended in 2009 that Second and Alma be the site for a new bridge, but the county decided further consideration be given to building a new span where the current structure is located. Three more consulting firms followed, including IBI Group which prepared the Environmental Study Report that was submitted to the province last summer. Kotras and Appleby stressed that the objections they and others raised in filing requests for Part II orders

to have the environmental assessment bumped up to a higher level were not responsible for the ministry demanding the county do more to complete the study. “We have nothing to do with dragging this out, this has nothing to do with any of the people who are not in support of a bridge at Second and Alma,� Kotras said. “It has to do with work that they [the county and its consultants] did was incomplete.� “It’s got nothing to do with us, it’s got to do with a consultant who didn’t make sure that its work was properly done and staff who didn’t provide the necessary oversight,� Appleby said. The ministry’s decision “was really based on the fact that the Environmental Study Report did not meet the requirements of the Act.� Dawnett Allen, a project evaluator with the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change, said in an email sent to Pannu December 24 that Part II Order requests “will not be given further consideration because the project is not yet considered complete. Once the County has completed the additional studies, it will be required to revise its project documents, [and] post a new Notice of Completion.� Those still having “outstanding concerns� with the amended study will be able to submit revised requests, during a 30-day public review and comment period. “I think everybody would rather just have this thing over and decided but there is a legal process, there is a law in place and the law has to be met,� Appleby said. “It’s a complicated process, there’s no question about it ... [but the county and its consultants are] going to have to do it properly to get the approval that they need to move forward.�

“Hello, 911? What’s the number for Africa?”

News - Northumberland - Police were kept busy last weekend dealing with a variety of calls that included a AlnwickHaldimand resident dialling 911 by mistake when trying to call overseas and then phoning the 911 centre a second time “to ask if they knew the phone number for Africa.” Another involved a Campbellford man calling 911 asking for the police’s help “in determining whether or not he was the father of his child,” said Northumberland OPP media relations officer Constable

Steve Bates in a news release. Bates said an 82-year-old driver lost control of his car in drifting snow January 10; the car rolled over and landed on its roof in a ditch. The driver was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The same day police responded to reports of people fighting at a Brighton residence. A 27-year-old man fled the scene but was found by police a short distance away. He was charged with three counts of assault, one count each of

causing bodily harm and resisting arrest, and two counts of breach of probation. As it was a domestic incident, police withheld his name to protect the identity of the victim. That night, around 11:30 p.m., the OPP helped a 90-year-old Campbellford woman shut off her main water supply to stop further flooding. A Cramahe Township resident reported January 11 being defrauded of $200 on Kijiji when buying concert tickets through Ukash, a system for making payments online.

NHL team. “I hope they win the cup this year,” he said. Wayne said he has been watching the Habs since the 1970s. He was born in 1961. “I lost a bet last year and had to wear a Leafs jersey,” he said with a laugh. “It was awful!” Wayne is also a Trenton Golden Hawks fan and not only goes to the games in Trenton but accompanies the team on the bus for out-of-town games. He is at every local game selling 50-50 tickets to raise funds for the Hawks. “I’m always there,” he says. “I missed three weeks before Christmas when I had the flu. That was hard.” People wishing to purchase tickets for the Montreal Canadiens Alumni Hockey Tour game in Trenton on January 18 at 2 p.m. can pick them up at the arena canteen or office, Shoppers Drug Mart, State Farm Insurance, Reilly’s Sports or at the door on the day of the game.

Sports - Quinte West - Wayne Baril is a true Habs fan. “I’ve been watching Guy Lafleur play hockey with the Montreal Canadiens since I was a young guy,” Wayne says. “He won five Stanley cups with the team.” Wayne’s dream has come true. He will be sitting beside his hero at the Trenton hockey game on January 18 when the alumni of former Montreal Canadiens play against a local team of players who paid $300 each for the privilege. Wayne will be honorary coach with Lafleur. He was chosen by the Trenton Golden Hawks team who raised money to see Wayne’s dream come true. “We have 15 players and two goalies signed up for our Trenton team,” said Bevett Horner, president of the Quinte West Minor Hockey Association which has organized the alumni tour coming to Trenton. All the funds raised from the event will go to local minor hockey. Some of the Habs alumni coming to Trenton include Guy Charbonneau, Steve Shutt, Patrice Brisbois, Richard Sevigny, Stephane Richer, Steve Penny, John Chabot and Rick Green. “I’m cheering for the Habs,” says Wayne with a grin. Wayne has always been cheering for the Habs. He has seven or eight Canadiens jerseys and many more collectibles from his favourite

Legion Branch 110 president Red MacLean remembered News - Quinte West - Trenton Legion president Everett “Red” MacLean passed away suddenly on Wednesday, January 7, at the Trenton Memorial Hospital in his 78th year. A funeral was held on January 13. Sherman Everett MacLean, CD, retired from the Canadian Forces as a Chief Warrant Officer after which he worked with the Cadet Cadre and achieved the rank of Major. Red was serving his second term as president of Branch 110 at the time of his sudden passing. In addition, he also worked tirelessly for our veterans as the Service Officer for the branch and he

was in charge of the Last Post Fund. Red served The Royal Canadian Legion honorably for the past 47 years, serving in all vice-president positions and on all committees. Red became a Life Member of Branch 110 in 2007. He was also awarded Legionnaire of the Year. Red was the Sponsoring Committee Chair for the 173 Royal Tiger Air Cadet Squadron here in Trenton. He was a member of the 413 Wing Air Force Association and a past vice president of that organization. His dedication to the Legion and the 173 and 78 Air Cadet Squadrons will be truly missed.

Low enrollment at secondary schools topic of community focus groups News - Trent Hills - A series of focus group meetings with secondary students, parents, teachers and principals from smaller secondary schools and their respective elementary feeder schools with the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board have begun. They are open to the public. The first was held in Lakefield on January 12 and the next one will take place at Norwood District High School on January 21 and Campbellford District High School on February 25. All meetings begin at 6:30 p.m. Board staff, local trustees and municipal representatives will be joined by secondary students, parents, teachers, and principals who are coming together to discuss ongoing challenges faced by smaller secondary schools as a result of declining enrollment. “We want to bring together the members of our school communities to talk about the challenges these schools are experiencing as a result of their low number of students and staff,” said Cathy Abraham, chairperson of the board, in a press release. While the meetings will be working meetings, they will be open for community members to attend and listen to the conversations, she said. There will also be an opportunity for the general public to ask specific questions at the end of each meeting. Minutes from each community focus group, as well as the opportunity to provide additional thoughts, comments and/or ask further questions, will be available through our web site <www. kprschools.ca>.

“We want to remind everyone that while these meetings are public and open to all to attend, they are working meetings with table discussions. We will take different breaks throughout the meeting to summarize and share the conversations with those in the audience,” said Abraham. “There will also be an opportunity to share comments and thoughts on the school board’s web site at <www.kprschools. ca>.”

Scotiabank and ScotiaMcLeod host pond hockey for charity By Kate Everson

Sports - Batawa - CFB Trenton in partnership with Scotiabank and ScotiaMcLeod is hosting the fourth annual Pond Hockey Classic on January 23 to 25 in Batawa. “The tournament will be hosting a Roots of Hockey dinner on Friday, January 23, at the Batawa Community Centre,” notes organizer Captain Jeff Moorhouse. All proceeds will be spit 50/50 with Soldier On and Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation. “This year we hope to raise $40,000 for these two worthy charities,” Moorhouse said. There are already 24 teams registered for the hockey classic which can take up to 32 teams. Pledges for each team must be a minimum of $300, which will have a charitable tax receipt issued. Sponsors Tina Furmidge and Diane Gaffney from Scotiabank, Julie Lange from ScotiaMcLeod, organizer Captain Jeff Moorhouse “We have local teams as and TMH Foundation representative Laura-Lee Hogan support the Pond Hockey Classic. Photo: Kate Everson well as some from Ottawa and

Toronto coming,” Moorhouse said. “The first year it was just the military teams, then we started getting more civilians involved. Last year we had 12 civilian teams, including women.” Julie Lange from ScotiaMcLeod was proud to say that her women’s team won the “Spirit Award” last year. This four-on-four Canadian Pond Hockey rules tournament will guarantee three games during the round-robin play and feature a sudden death play-off format for the top eight teams. With improved lighting at the Batawa Lions Community Rinks, games can go into the night. Games will be played on Saturday, January 24, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. and on Sunday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. There will be great prizes including top fund-raising team and winning team along with plenty of great, old-fashioned outdoor hockey.

Tickets are also being sold at $60 each for the Roots of Hockey dinner on Friday night. Special guest speaker is Sergeant Chris Downey who will talk about his 350kilometre trip over a month to the Antarctic with Prince Harry. “He talked to Prince Harry who just refers to the Queen as his grandma,” Moorhouse said. Downey was wounded by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan and lost the use of his right eye. He represents the Solider On charity that helps wounded Canadian soldiers. Moorhouse added that talented singer Francine Leclair and comedian Dave Hemstad will also entertain at the dinner. “There will be great food, door prizes and a live auction,” he added.

This evaluation, which has a minimal cost compared to the investment of purchasing a home, can reveal critical issues or necessary repairs, which will help the Buyer in deciding whether he/she wants to move forward with the purchase, or should plan a budget to address those issues in the future. Home inspections are discretionary to the Buyer but unless it is a new house which includes the government-endorsed Tarion guarantee, the inspection is strongly recommended. A home inspection is normally done by a qualified Home Inspector but can also be done by an experienced contractor. Regardless of the professional of choice, a good home inspection can save a Buyer money and headaches down the road.

Quit smoking, earn a chance to win a car By Stephen Petrick

News - Quinte West - Someone in Ontario who quits smoking by the spring is going to win a new car. The Canadian Cancer Society has launched its Driven to Quit program, hoping the big prize will motivate people to butt out and live a healthier lifestyle. The grand prize is a choice of three cars, provided by a Hamilton, Ontario, car dealer: 2015 Nissan Sentra SR, a 2015 Toyota Corolla S or a 2015 Toyota Scion tC. In addition, there are also seven cash prizes of $1,000, one for each region of the CCS. That means one person who quits smoking in the southeast region (which includes the Quinte area) can win

the $1,000. There are also eight $100 prizes available to those who register with the support of a “buddy.” The program is open to Ontario residents age 19 and over who, as of March 1, have used tobacco at least once weekly for at least ten months and who have used tobacco at least 100 times in their life. Participants can register through the web site <www.driventoquit.ca>. Registration is open until February 28. People from local groups involved in the program gathered at Dr. Gordon Bunt’s Dental Health Centre in Bayside on Tuesday, January 6, to celebrate the launch of the program. The clinic, on White’s Road just off

N

Highway 2, is one of a few locations where those interested in participating can pick up literature on the program. (The dental centre supports the smoking cessation program because smoking can have detrimental effects on a person’s oral health.) The literature is also available at the CCS office at 97 Hanna Court South in Belleville and at the Hastings Prince Edward Health Unit buildings. Karen White, an advocate with the CCS, said the Driven to Quit program asks people to demonstrate that they’ve gone a full a month without smoking. Those who can show they’ve gone a month without smoking by the end of March are eligible for the prizes. “Studies show if you quit smoking for a month you’re five times more likely to be successful [at quitting smoking Dr. Gordon Bunt sits inside a Toyota Corolla, like the one that will be offered as a grand prize in the over the long Driven to Quit program. Standing in between are Caitlyn Hanley of the Hastings Prince Edward Health Unit (l) and Laura Dawson-Hope of the Canadian Cancer Society, two organizations that support the term],” she said.

The program encourages participants to work with a “buddy” who can motivate them. And those who need assistance or information about quitting can contact the CCS Smokers’ Helpline at 1-877-513-5333. White said CCS supports the Driven to Quit program because if fewer people smoke, fewer people will suffer from lung cancer. “The Canadian Cancer Society works with all levels of government to ensure smokers and non-smokers alike can live and work in a smoke-free environment,” she said. “But only you can make the decision to quit smoking.” Caitlyn Hanley, a health promoter with the Hastings Prince Edward Health Unit, also attended the announcement. She said the health unit runs smoking cessation programs in Belleville and Quinte West. The Belleville one takes place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesdays at the 179 North Park Street building. The Quinte West one takes place from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Thursday at the 499 Dundas Street West building.

Events - Belleville - Loyalist College is inviting current students, alumni, and employers to the Annual Career Fair on Thursday, February 5, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the gymnasium of the Kente building. Regional and national employers will be available to meet with students and alumni. They represent business and industry sectors directly related to the program training Loyalist students receive. “Now in its 18th year, the Career Fair is highly anticipated for the networking opportunities it offers both employers and prospective employees,” said Loyalist College President and CEO Maureen Piercy. “Many of the employers return each year with potential full-time and part-time, as well as summer and temporary positions. Their ongoing involvement highlights the success of the event, which is organized by our Career Centre to support students and alumni in their career exploration, planning, and development.” Employment and Career Advisor Lyndsay Kerik said, “Our goal is to provide students and graduates with access to employers who are hiring in their field. We encourage employers who have positions available and are seeking well-trained qualified applicants to attend the fair to meet our students and graduates.” 
 The Loyalist College Career Centre offers everything from computers and Internet access for conducting job searches to assistance with résumé and cover letter creation. Career advisors work one-on-one with alumni and current students to help them prepare for part-time employment or a career. They also work within the classroom, helping students to complete a Career Development Certificate, which consists of four modules. One of the most popular programs provided through the centre helps to hone an individual’s interview skills through mock interviews, customized for the individual’s program of study.

through the Bay of Quinte area, which later became our churches. There were only 12 people at that first meeting in Belleville but their names and the names of their descendants turn up in the founding committees of many of the later churches in Belleville.� There is no admission to this event but a freewill offering will be taken. A “basket social� will follow and Janet Kellough will be signing her Thaddeus Lewis Mysteries. According to the Reverend David

Mundy, lead minister at Bridge Street, this is one of a number of events to be held this year to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the first Methodist Class Meeting in Belleville. There will be a Community Concert series including two organ recitals, a concert by the Metropolitan Silver Band and the oratorio of Mendelssohn’s Elijah. Other events will be the Bay of Quinte Conference Ordination service in May and a Homecoming weekend November 23.

News - January 2015 has arrived and the sounds of Auld Lang Syne echo in my mind even though my holidays have ended and festive songs no longer play in stores. The power of music is undeniable. Music, in every culture past and present, enables us to express emotions and a sense of community. The Happy Birthday song, national anthem, campfire songs, playing in a musical group, and dancing all prompt us to listen to one another, join in and become part of something bigger than our individual selves. In recent years western society has tried to link exposure to classical music with children’s intelligence. The Mozart Effect, a term based on a study that showed children improved in spatial rotation tasks when they listened to Mozart, was popularized through a book written by Don Campbell in 1997. This perceived link between listening to classical music and improved IQ or math skills among children is still pervasive though the Mozart Effect hasn’t been validated

through subsequent research. Laurel Trainor, professor and founding director of the McMaster Institute for Music and the Mind, explains that the power of music is rooted in humanity’s social and emotional needs. From an academic perspective, listening to and playing music is linked to learning through its impact on improved concentration, memory and attention. Babies experiment with sounds before they learn to speak. Regardless of whether babies gurgle, coo, shriek or cry, or whether they bang or tap pots, spoons or toys (their first musical instruments), pitch, tone, volume and tempo of their sounds can express their emotions long before they have the words to explain them. Intuitively parents know that singing, humming, rocking and dancing with their infants and preschoolers is good to do. They see it soothe, calm, excite or energize their children. They may be less aware that singing lullabies and nursery rhymes slows oral language down. It uses repetition, and rhythm, helping infants and children learn vocabulary and understand patterns in speech more easily. Music grabs children’s attention. Fussy babies typically stop to listen when adults suddenly break into song. Repeated and familiar songs help children anticipate and join

in with actions or words that come next. Varied genres and ethnic styles of music prompt young children to listen and concentrate. Trainor’s research indicates that parents in North America sing less to their infants now than ever before. Trainor tells us that putting on a CD is not as enriching to babies’ brains and emotions as being sung to face to face. In a parent’s or caregiver’s arms the sounds of music are enhanced with facial expressions, and the scent, feel, movement and responsiveness of the adult. The activation of all of these senses builds stronger pathways in a child’s brain. Adults who lack singing confidence may find it comforting to know that monotone singers have the same ability to hear pitch and sound as those who sing professionally. All they have lacked is exposure, opportunity, and encouragement to listen and experiment with their voice. Young children are ideal audiences for timid singers. Children are not concerned about how we sing with them. They only care that we do. In a TVO interview called Music and Your Child, host Cheryl Jackson asked Trainor what her advice would be for parents regarding music and their children. “Have fun with your children especially from newborn and preschool age. Instill in them a love of music. If you’re motivated, they’ll do anything.� <http://tvoparents.tvo.org/ video/162408/music-and-your-child>

several United Church Ministers from the Kente Presbytery who will take on the role of prominent circuit riders and local residents. The Reverend Ed Bentley, formerly of Eastminster United, will stand in for Elder William Case, who supervised circuits from Kingston to Detroit in 1815 and who led the Mission to the Mississauga people. The Reverend Steve Spicer, from Wellington United, will represent John Reynolds a former circuit rider in the Bay of Quinte Circuit, who hosted the first class meeting and was a leading figure in both the Pinnacle and Tabernacle churches. The Reverend Vicki Fulcher of Bridge Street and the Reverend Cathy Russell of Saint Matthews will play the part of two women who were founding members of the Belleville Methodist Society. Members of the Bridge Street choir and congregation will round out the cast. John Crawford, Steve and Moira Forrester and Bob and Ann Freeland will re-enact a service by blacksmith/circuit rider David Youmans, whose preaching style elicited letters of complaint to the editor of the Patriot. Special guest, Alderville historian David Mowat will recall the lives of the early Mississauga Circuit riders from the viewpoint of his ancestor John Simpson, an early Mississauga convert. The program was written and produced by Belleville writer Veronica R0013093706

Entertainment - Belleville - “The Circuit Riders� are coming to Bridge Street Church on Wednesday, January 14, at 7 p.m. The event will be a gallop through the early days of Belleville and Bay of Quinte with the Methodist Circuit Riding Preachers. It will hear from prominent early residents of the area, take a glimpse into the lonely, often dangerous life on the circuit, as well as the religious fervour of quarterly camp meetings. It will also recall the Methodist mission to the Mississauga First Nation. This is the first major event for a year of activities taking place at Bridge Street Church to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the first Methodist Class Meeting in Belleville held in 1815 at the home of John Reynolds. Two years later, the first Methodist Chapel was erected on Pinnacle Street on the site of the present day Legion. Over the next 50 years, its expanding and sometimes dissenting congregation built Tabernacle Church, Bleecker Street Church and Bridge Street Church and make preliminary plans for a church on Holloway Street. County mystery writer Janet Kellough will emcee the evening linking a series of historical vignettes with insights from her own research into the lives of the circuit riders for her three mystery novels based loosely on the life of Thaddeus Lewis, an early circuit preacher. She will be joined by

Local Earth Ranger collects 646 used batteries for recycling By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - Seven-year-old Alexa Orser-Baker cares about the environment. “I collected 646 used batteries for recycling,” she said at the Quinte Waste Solutions office in Trenton where she and her mother Kim Baker dropped off the batteries on January 8. Tanya Delaney, operations supervisor for the Hazardous Waste Depot in Belleville, was very impressed. “This will keep the batteries out of landfill,” Delaney said. Alexa knows how bad that can be for local wildlife that feed from the contaminated soil and water batteries can leach into. “The batteries won’t leak bad acid into the animals’ food and water,” Alexa said. “Even the birds of prey’s eggs can be too thin.” She has just joined Earth Rangers and has taken on projects that help the

environment. This was her first project. “They only asked to collect 20 batteries for recycling,” her mother said. “But in four days she had 646. I put it on my Facebook page and people began donating their used batteries.” She said she was pretty impressed with the little organization, Earth Rangers, that her daughter found out about through Teletoons on TV. Alexa’s next project is to study one of four wild animals, and she has chosen the eastern wolf. She is also going to do a study on plastic water bottles, comparing their water to ordinary tap water. “Our family has always been interested in conservation,” Kim Baker said. Delaney noted that only five per cent of batteries ever get recycled and it is important to get them out of the waste stream. There is a Hazardous Waste Depot in Belleville at 75 Wallbridge Crescent where batteries can be dropped

off on Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. or the first Saturday of the month. Any Home Hardware store in the area also takes the batteries. “The Raw Materials Company in Port Colborne handles the batteries,” Delaney noted. “They sort them all, separating alkaline from rechargable ones which have nickel and cadmium. They all have metals in them, and some old ones even have mercury.” Quinte Waste Solutions also has a Battery Blitz collection twice a year curbside in the Blue Boxes after the time changes in November and March. Earth Rangers is centred out of Woodbridge, Ontario, and encourages other young people to get involved helping the environment. Since its launch in 2010, over 200,000 children have signed up to become Earth Rangers and have raised over $1 million for conservation projects. Check out <www.earthrangers.com>.

Trent Hills wants province to live up to promise A request has been made to meet with a minister (or a parliamentary assistant) as a delegation but Rutter cautioned there is no guarantee that it will be granted. He said he is “not hopeful there will be a complete reconfiguring of the OMPF but it may be worthwhile to let them know we really have been disadvantaged as a result of some of their decisions, and who knows what could come from that.”

Rutter said it “might be beneficial as well” to support in person the “significant application for infrastructure funding for the water tower rehabilitation” Tanya Delaney and Alexa Orser-Baker, seven, check out the batteries for Quinte Recycling. Trent Hills has submitted. Photo: Kate Everson Similar representations made in the past have been “very valuable and time well spent at the conferences,” he said.

News - Trent Hills - The municipality says the province owes it money and it hopes to argue its case when elected officials attend a conference next month attended by government ministers. In question is $2.8 million Trent Hills treasurer/director of finance Shelley Eliopoulos says the municipality is due according to an analysis she did of grants it receives each year through the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund, based on so much per household. CAO Mike Rutter told council last week the province several years ago “reworked” the formula it used to determine how much municipalities were to receive from the fund. “They essentially promised this is what you qualify for under the new calculations but we’re going to be phasing that in over time,” he said. “We never did actually get to what we were promised … and then they started to reduce the size of the pie.” Trent Hills never did get its “full piece of the pie,” he said. The municipality received $1,545,000 in 2004 and the funding reached a peak of $3 million in 2009. Last year the OMPF grant fell to $2.74 million. Eliopoulos in her analysis said the formula for OMPF funding, which covered 16 per cent of the municipality’s operational costs in 2013, has not changed since 2005, “even though costs for police [are] rising.” The amount Trent Hills received “was capped in the OMPF grant formula from 2005 to 2008, resulting in a total loss of $2,801,681 in funding by phase in adjustment,” she wrote. Local officials hope to press the government to live up to the commitment it made when they attend a combined conference of the Ontario Good Roads Association and Rural Ontario Municipal Association in Toronto next month.

Friday, January 30. Pre-race registration will be offered at the same location from 5:30 to 6:30, or competitors may pre-register on line at <www. marmorasnofest.ca>. Races on Saturday, January 31, include three Skijoring runs of two-, four- and sixmile lengths; six-dog races of six and ten miles; and fourdog race of four miles. The always-popular Little Nippers race will be held at 3:30 p.m. On the matter of long distance runs, for this year, organizers feel it will be more exciting for the spectators to attend the sprint races as they leave and come back into the fairgrounds (up to 20 miles) rather than the longer runs of up to 60 miles. Finishing and clearing long-distance trails is always a huge challenge. The Madoc snowmobile club is assisting in preparing the trails for this year’s event. Bunkers Bistro is hosting the closing ceremony and dance on Saturday night from 5:30 on, while the Marmora Inn is offering a Sunday lunch, and St. Andrews United Church will once again be serving a delicious Saturday lunch. Admission to the sled dog races this year is free of charge to encourage more families to come out and enjoy all the activities. However, donations will be welcomed during the day’s activities to help support the Sno Fest plans for the coming year. Sno Fest Buttons will be sold at $5 each with a draw to be held at Bunkers on Saturday night for five prizes

of $100 each. The Marmora Crowe Valley Lions will be selling 50/50 tickets with the final draw on Saturday night at Bunkers “The Back of Cordova Bonspiel� will be featured, from12 - 4 on Saturday, a hockey tournament is currently being organized, and “Snow Ball� teams are being invited to register prior to the event, and this activity will continue throughout the day. International champion chainsaw wood carver Levi Caya will also be in attendance from 12 to 4 p.m. showing his great talent at the fairgrounds. The always-popular clown Circus Jonathan will once again be in attendance entertaining young and old alike. Local artisans and foods will be featured upstairs at the Community Centre. The weight pull is returning this year. Single dogs pull a special weight pull sled along a special built chute. The pulling surface is hoped to be optimum with the snow we have been getting. There are a great number of activities available for the public, both adults and children, with a kids’ zone put on by the Marmora Scouts. Also, for the first time, a beer tent will be available. Organizers are working hard to ensure that the conditions are optimum for the trails and many volunteers and sled dog enthusiasts are looking forward to a very successful event.

What is 4-H?

4-H is a grassroots organization of leaders building leaders. 4-H emphasizes the importance of looking at the big picture; that youth need to see beyond themselves and focus on how their actions affect their relationships, their community, the environment and society as a whole. This belief is reflected in the 4-H pledge, said at the beginning of every 4-H meeting and event. The 4-H pledge encourages a balanced lifestyle (intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual), and reminds participants to aim to be a good friend, mentor, community member and citizen. Everywhere in the world, 4-H shares a common thread, in that it is based on a “Learn To Do By Doing” philosophy. In Ontario, 4-H members aged 9–21 and volunteer leaders come together to create a 4-H club, where members learn about a selected topic through hands-on activities and mentorship. In the Cloverbud Program, youth

Exploring Cancun’s magnificent, mysterious Mayan Ruins

By John M. Smith

Lifestyles - If you’re holidaying in Cancun, and don’t have time to visit some of the more significant Mayan ruins located further afield along Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, you can at least get a glimpse into the Mayan world by visiting the Cancun Mayan Museum. It’s located right inside Cancun’s hotel zone, and its neighbouring San Miguelito ar-

cheological site. It costs about $5 to visit both the museum and archeological site, but it’s free if you’re under the age of 13 or over 60. On my last trip to Cancun, I stayed at the magnificent Cancun Paradisus, and I simply took the five-minute stroll on Kukulkan Boulevard from the resort to this particular museum and archeological site. The Maya inhabited

this site over 800 years ago, and it appears to have been an important preHispanic settlement and trade route stop, and now San Miguelito offers the visitor a glimpse into this past. There are more than a dozen ruins to be found here, including several foundations, the remains of a palace with 17 columns, and a small pyramid that had been used for ceremonial and religious purposes. Although it’s not possible to climb on this particular pyramid, I found it was interesting to simply stroll along the site’s meandering footpaths and take a look at what remains of this ancient civilization. I also passed several termite nests and met some local iguanas along the way! After exploring these Mayan ruins, I visited the much more modern Cancun Mayan Museum, and here I learned a lot about this advanced and sophisticated ancient civilization, famed for their magnificent stone temples and pyramids, and their impressive knowledge of mathematics and astronomy. I discovered the first exhibition room in this museum was dedicated to the Mayan population that resided in this area, now known as Quintana Roo, and it featured their stone tools and wildlife. A second exhibition room showcased aspects of Mayan architecture and art and the utensils these ancient people used on a daily

You’ll see such fascinating sites as the Sacred Cenote, the Temple of a Thousand Columns, the Majestic Observatory, and its most impressive pyramid, Kukulkan. During the spring and fall equinoxes, the setting sun creates shadows down the steps of this pyramid that resemble a snake descending, until the shadows join the huge serpent’s head that’s carved in stone at the bottom of the stairway. It’s quite a stirring sight, and it certainly attracts large crowds to witness it. The ancient Mayan civilization actually stretched far beyond Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, for it has also been found hidden away in the jungles of Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and Belize, and the remaining ruins that have been discovered over the years have certainly helped us to piece together, and better understand, the way of life of these ancient people. I predict a visit to some of these Mayan ruins will prove fascinating to you, and it can all start right in the heart of the tourist destination of Cancun, Mexico.

The Good Earth: Lifestyles - Recently, I attended Landscape Ontario’s Congress for 2015. Landscape Ontario Horticultural Trades Association is the world’s largest professional horticultural association with over 2,500 businesses as members. These people are passionate about their trade and work hard at improving it on a daily basis. They do it with training, education, lobbying (when done with the interests of the customers as well as the trade, this is a good thing), and community involvement along with the lasting landscapes they create. I’m proud to be a member of this organisation. Congress is a four-day event involving seminars, discussion panels, Canada’s largest horticultural trade show, and a few parties tossed in Toothpaste is a gel or paste that is used in conjunction with a just to brush away toothbrush to help clean and a cobweb or two. maintain the health of our teeth One of the features and gums.

When is a tree dead?

municipality the definition of a dead tree was clear: when there is absolutely no green where and when there is supposed to be green. For the new subdivision project manager it was based on a sixpage negotiated document explaining the criteria with an emphasis on the percentage of viable canopy (all the branches with leaves on them). The naturalist on the panel said a tree is dead when it no longer provides value to its environment. However, my focus was the same as Jill and Joe Homeowner’s of 1234 Ramblingrosebriarpatch Lane of Muskeg Meadows. They have a tree on their front lawn with only half a canopy in leaf. It isn’t “dead” but neither is it thriving the way it should. As someone who plants trees and performs “tree checks” this is where I sigh. You’re familiar with the observation that a dissatisfied customer will tell at least five other potential customers? With a tree, GR, the truism alters to “one unhappy customer means the whole neighbourhood is unhappy.” Almost every professional who plants a tree on behalf of a customer provides a warranty that says they will replace the tree if it dies within a certain time frame. In fact, if they don’t offer some form of warranty don’t retain their services. There may be negotiations that alter such a relationship, i.e. $500 to purchase, plant and warranty a tree for two years or $250 to purchase and plant with no warranty. As long as everything is explained up front, the customer is free to select the

option that suits them best at the time. For example, if I personally were contracting someone to plant trees for me I would not pay for a warranty. I selected the right tree for that site and I know how to care for it. I’m confident that things will be fine. For Jill and Joe, I encourage they discuss a warranty with their planter. No one will provide a guarantee that any plant will grow no matter how confident they are in their selection: plants are living organisms and only fate and a higher power can make such a statement. I say this because sometimes, even when absolutely everything is done correctly, a tree dies. If the decline in the tree hasn’t been caused by agents outside the planter’s control, and if the tree is not salvageable, the overwhelming response of the several hundred people at that meeting was to replace the tree. Tim Kearney, of Garden Creations in Ottawa, is one of those respected sages in the industry to whom most people defer. He offered several solutions that would create the best situation for all concerned. Remember that partially dead canopy? Tim says a close inspection of the leader (the top of the main trunk) is in order. If it is in good condition, he recommends pruning out the dead portions and allowing the tree to recover. Often, it will return to its former glory and size much, much faster than a replacement will grow. So the negotiation might be to prune it up, wait a year with that extra year added to the warranty. If that seems odd to you, GR,

With the myriad of toothpaste brands and types, it can be a daunting task to determine which toothpaste is appropriate for you. When choosing a toothpaste, one should consider the contents of that toothpaste and determine if the benefits are in line with your oral health goals. For instance, if you suffer from gingivitis and halitosis (also known as bad breath), you may want to consider using a toothpaste that contains triclosan. If sensitivity with cold foods is a concern, you may want to use a toothpaste with desensitizing agents. It is also important to keep in mind the potential risks with using some toothpastes, as some contain agents that may have a negative effect on your teeth. This is especially true with whitening toothpastes. Many whitening toothpastes contain highly abrasive agents that function to scrub surface stains left by food, thereby making teeth more white. If used excessively, these same abrasive agents can scrub away the enamel on teeth, making these teeth more sensitive to hot and cold and potentially more susceptible to dental decay. So the next time you are shopping for a new tube of toothpaste, remember that not all toothpaste is created equal. Think about what you want and need for your oral health and then consider which toothpaste can help you accomplish your goals.

think about all those “destroyed” trees we saw during the last two ice storms. Most of them have recovered very well without our help. Sometimes, though, as with all interactions between people, things just don’t work out the way we would like. So far, fingers crossed, I have had only two of those experiences and the feelings created are not good ones. Remember the nice introduction about Landscape Ontario? Their commitment to their customers is not hyperbole. They offer a service that brings together the customer and the trade member, with thirdparty unbiased evaluation and mediation.

The Beaver: the most powerful animal in the world

News - The Beaver: the most powerful animal in the world, takes the first plunge in the 2015 Winter Speaker Series hosted by the Hastings Stewardship Council and sponsored by the Hastings Prince Edward Land Trust. Join acclaimed naturalist Michael Runtz on January 29 in Ivanhoe for an entertaining and visually stunning presentation. Beavers are known as either annoying pests or ecosystem heroes. Behind this dual reputation lies an animal that deserves more than just the status of “Canada’s National Animal.” Beavers are relentless hydraulic engineers that benefit many animals, plants and humans. Michael Runtz will present insights and images of these remarkable creatures in their natural habitats, based largely on his soon-to-bereleased book, Dam Builders: the natural history of beavers and their ponds. Michael Runtz is one of Canada’s most highly respected naturalists, nature photographers and natural history authors. As a professional naturalist in provincial and national parks, he is also a frequent guest on natural history television and radio programs. Every year, over 2,000 people sign up for Michael’s Natural History course, televised from Carleton University. But nowhere does he feel more at home than in the natural world itself—howling with the elusive wolf, digging out salamanders from under rotting logs, or luring rutting moose with his skillful calls. In The Beaver: the most powerful animal in the world, Michael’s photographs disclose a world seldom seen: the intimate habitat of the beaver. The Beaver: the most powerful animal in the world is on Thursday, January 29, from 7 to 9 p.m. at Huntingdon Veterans Community Hall, 11379 Highway 62 in Ivanhoe, just north of the Ivanhoe cheese factory. Entrance fee is $5; children are free. Refreshments will be provided. The Hastings Stewardship Council promotes a healthy and sustainable environment that contributes to the viability of agricultural and natural resources in Hastings County. For more information, please contact Matt Caruana at 613-3919034 or <info@hastingsstewardship.ca>.

Quinte Health Care meeting with unions, mayors amid funding crunch News - Belleville - Quinte Health Care is continuing to explore ways to eliminate a $12-million funding gap, but no hard decisions on the future of local hospitals or services have been made yet, a spokesperson for the organization said last week. In an interview to update the funding dilemma, Communications Director Susan Rowe said QHC officials have met recently with union leaders and local mayors to explain the challenges the organization faces. Quinte Health Care is currently projected to have a $12-million deficit by the time the new fiscal year starts in April. However, it must eliminate that $12 million to comply with relatively new provincial legislation, which requires hospitals not to have a deficit. That challenge has gotten the rumour mill spiralling and Rowe said she’s aware that

many politicians and citizens are speculating on whether this news means a hospital will be closed. Quinte Health Care operates Belleville General Hospital, Trenton Memorial Hospital, Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital in Picton and North Hastings Hospital in Bancroft. Rowe addressed the rumours saying, “we are facing a significant financial situation. It would be our last resort to change services and where services are delivered in the region, but we may need to look at that this year. But no decisions have been made and that needs to be stressed.
“We’re looking at every option. There are going to be a lot of rumours at this point, but no decisions have been made.” In December, Quinte Health Care laid off nine employees— six managers and three administrators—a move that was not only tough on staff morale but also triggered fears that more layoffs would be on the way.

Since that time, QHC officials have met with leaders from three unions who have members employed with the organization— OPSEU, SEIU Healthcare and Unifor—to discuss more layoffs. Rowe said QHC managers identified 26 positions that could be eliminated, half of which were vacant. The unions, as per their collective agreements, are allowed to look at QHC’s proposal and come back with their own proposal within a month. Some of those follow-up meetings took place last week. Given the challenge of this year’s situation, Rowe said QHC won’t rush any decisions and in fact is planning a second round “of staff planning” meetings in March. Rowe said whenever QHC has to eliminate positions, it always tries to do so by not filling vacant positions and offering veteran staff retirement packages. She said that last year QHC was able to eliminate 76 positions and no one

was laid off involuntarily. While eliminating a $12-million funding gap won’t be easy, Rowe also pointed out that QHC does have some flexibility. She said some hospitals in Ontario are operating with deficits, but in order to do that legally they must demonstrate that they have a plan to pull even within a few years. “That would have to be a negotiation with the board and the [Southeast Local Health Integration Network] if we got to that point,” she said. “There is some precedent for that, but we’re not at the stage.” Rowe said right now management is still trying to explore ways it can come up with a balanced budget and take it to QHC’s board of governors for approval by April. As for people concerned about the future of regional services, she urges patience. She said if significant changes

to services are proposed, QHC would have to discuss it with the public. “We do need to have community engagement if we’re proposing changes to services; that’s part of our legislation,” she said. “But it’s too early to say right now.”

Retired Trent-Severn Waterway official Dave MacDougall played an important role in helping China succeed in its bid to have the country’s Grand Canal, the longest artificial waterway in the world, declared a World Heritage Site last year. By John Campbell

The 67-year-old retired Trent-Severn Waterway official has been there five times, beginning in 2010, representing Inland Waterways International (IWI). He has served as its secretary since 2007. Based in England, the organization encourages “the proper management, protection and improvement of existing waterways,” and supports the opening of new waterways and canals. MacDougall said he was “the only non-Chinese person to speak at the opening ceremony” of the 4th China Yangzhou World Canal Cities Expo and Canal Cities Experts’ Forum held in September 2010. His subject was the role IWI can play in helping canal cities move toward “a low-carbon economy.” He told his hosts the organization was established in 1996 by the International Committee of the United

Kingdom Inland Waterways Association “to defend an extraordinary water-based heritage that was in peril and to promote water-based transport, an environmental friendly approach to moving goods.” He had been invited to speak because “what they were looking to do is clean up the environment around cities,” MacDougall said. In Yangzhou, the government is decommissioning older generation industries that are “spewing a lot of bad stuff into the air ... and replacing them with new technology” that produces significantly fewer emissions. ‘They’re cleaning up old industrial brownfields and rehabilitating them,” he said, building in their place settlements of 100,000 people. The smog that moves in from a more industrialized part of the country is so heavy “you’ll go several days at a time without seeing the sun,” MacDougall said, but “they’re cleaning up their act locally and very quickly.” Of concern was the future of the Grand Canal, more the 2,400 years old, “the earliest, largest and longest canal in the world [which] still plays an important role

in water transport,” say the Chinese. More than 3,200 kilometres in length, the Grand Canal passes through eight provinces and 35 cities, including Yangzhou, where it was born. Yangzhou followed up its expo with a World Canals Conference in 2012. “The whole idea was to draw attention to [its] bid at that time to [have the Grand Canal] become a World Heritage Site,” MacDougall said. The effort paid off last April when UNESCO added the canal to its list of World Heritage Sites, which already includes the Rideau Canal. “We helped them get there,” MacDougall said of the role he and the IWI played in helping China get the designation. “It was quite something.” MacDougall said being put on the list has “huge implications for a place like China” because of the boost it will give its tourism industry, for one thing. The canal is “a hugely busy major transportation route” that runs north to south in eastern China and “there are pockets of very historic buildings” along the way, MacDougall said, “so the trick now is to preserve the heritage part of it.” China has to report in a year’s time what it’s doing and what its plans are to adhere to the standards that have been set to maintain the canal’s heritage designation. There was some discussion about having the IBI continue to provide assistance with how to operate the canal, which was “a very pleasant surprise,” MacDougall said, “but nothing specific” was set. “I’d go back in a heartbeat,” he said.

The whole experience was “something I never thought would ever happen to me ... It was awesome.” MacDougall joined Parks Canada in 1972 and worked at a series of national parks and historic sites in Western Canada before moving to Ontario to become southern area manager for the Trent-Severn in 1982. In 1996 he was named manager of external relations, a position he held until his retirement in 2006. He got involved in Inland Waterways International in the mid-1990s around the time he co-chaired a World Canals Conference held in Peterborough. “It broadened your thinking ... [and] horizons, it forced you to think outside of your little bailiwick here in Ontario and Canada,” he said. He joined the organization because “it was an avenue for me to continue the work I was doing in some shape after I retired.” MacDougall is also quite active here at home. He’s been involved with the Relay for Life in Campbellford since the first one was held seven years ago, and has served as co-chair. “It’s a very worthy cause,” he said, and cancer has “always been around our family.” He’s also on the board of directors of the Campbellford-Seymour Community Foundation and involved with Flourish, the Trent Hills Wellness Campaign. “You’ve got to have a purpose when you get up in the morning,” MacDougall said. “It was always part of my life [when I worked and] I don’t think when you retire ... that you can shut that off.”

Dave MacDougall has made several trips to China as secretary of Inland Waterways International, which has allowed him to see many of the splendid buildings that populate its heritage areas.

It’s January; time to get the swimsuit out for a plunge in the Trent By John Campbell

News - Campbellford - Now that the cold snap is over—don’t you find it a bit warmer?—it’s time to start thinking about wading into the Trent River. It’s better known as the Polar Plunge, which people have been doing in January for the past 22 years in Campbellford. As it turned out, fittingly, 22 brave souls took part in last year’s event and raised in excess of $5,000, but the group that organizes the Polar Plunge, the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, is “starting to get worried� it won’t have enough entrants this time

around. “Unless more people sign up to take the plunge, we may have to cancel,� warned Judy McLean, the auxiliary’s press and publicity co-ordinator. If not enough come forward with pledges, “we not only won’t make any money to purchase hospital equipment, but we will lose money,� because of the expenses involved in advertising and providing two buses to serve as change rooms, she said in an email. When McLean issued her appeal for publicity, only five people had registered for the event that will take place January

31 at noon at Lions Beach Park. As of January 8, the number had climbed to eight, said second-year Polar Plunge convenor Sharon Apted. “By this time last year I think we had pretty much everybody signed up who was going to,� she said in an interview, so “it’s a little bit of a concern.� Apted said she’s still waiting to hear from a couple of teams who participated last year, which, if they join in again, “can make a difference.� It isn’t just local people who take the plunge; they come from places such as Belleville, Peterborough and Cobourg.

The money collected this year will be used to buy electric beds and pain pumps for the hospital, a $50,000 commitment. The Polar Plunge is one of several fund raisers the auxiliary holds; others include a Christmas bazaar, Tag Day, fashion show, and bottle drive. “It would be good if we could get more plungers; the more we have the more we raise,� said Apted, who laughingly admitted she has “trouble pressing people� to sign up, “because they say ‘How many times have you done it?’� One long-time plunger won’t be immersing himself in the river this January: Earl McLean.

Workshops on starting or growing a food-based business for businesses to obtain the tools needed for growth. “There is incredible value to the information provided at these sessions,� continued Bessin. The first session is “Exploring Value Added Opportunities.� Value added is the enhancement given to an existing product or service or the addition of a new product of service providing additional value to the company. This workshop will help businesses with the process of generating ideas, how to select your best idea, assessing your idea’s potential and next steps. The second session is “Market Considerations.� It will discuss regional food processing demographics, basics of food safety, and market requirements for labelling and nutrition. The day will
