Teen chosen to take part in expedition in Chile

By John Campbell Brighton – Jessika Hardy loves going on expeditions. Not the kind where you slog through jungles or traverse mountains in a journey of exploration but the ones that help Canadian youth become better cadets and better people. Hardy, a master warrant officer with 100 Brighton-1st Canadian Parachute Battalion Cadets, has been on expeditions before, in Ontario and Alberta, but her next one will be the biggest adventure yet. She is one of 18 cadets from across Canada who have been selected to take part in an International Army Cadet Expedition to Chile in February. There the group, accompanied by three adult staff army Cadet Instructor Cadre officers, will spend 10 days in Torres del Paine National Park trekking, kayaking and joining in cultural activities. It’s “one-in-a-million” opportunity for the Grade 11 East Northumberland Secondary School student who turns 17 next month. Her reaction on receiving the Jessika Hardy, a master warrant officer with 100 Brighton-1st Canadian Parachute Battalion Cadets, is one news right before Christmas was of 18 young people 16 to 18 years of age from across Canada who will be taking part in an army cadet “I don’t think this is real,” beexpedition in Chile next month. Photo by John Campbell

cause there were about 300 applications for the four spots that went to Ontario cadets. To apply to become a member of the expedition, Hardy had to write a letter setting out what she has done as a cadet – she’s entering her fifth year – and what she would “like to take back” to her local corp from her time in Chile. Being a cadet “really means a lot to me,” Hardy said. “I would never had any of the opportunities that I’ve had,” if she hadn’t become one. She and her best friend joined the corps when she was 12. “She didn’t like it and she quit,” but Hardy stayed on and has “enjoyed it ever since” because it has added so much to her life. When Hardy joined, the corps was little more than a year old and still evolving; she didn’t know what to expect. But the corps has grown from 15 cadets to 60, and has put together several teams, including biathlon, drill, shooting and orienteering, and she has been “on every single one.” Hardy estimates she spends up to 10 hours being involved in cadet activities “three or four times a week.”

The cadets will start their journey to Chile in Victoria BC where they will be tested for their fitness. Those who fail will return home but Hardy isn’t worried that could happen to her, she’s been earning excellent on her fitness tests since she was 12, she said. The Department of National Defence says the army cadet expedition program is intended to develop cadets’ leadership skills “while enhancing self-concepts, such as self-confidence, self-reliance, self-esteem and self-discipline.” The Army Cadet League of Canada, which co-sponsors the program, says those chosen to take part are athletic and intelligent and have “demonstrated strong leadership skills.” The Army Cadet Expedition, with its outdoor challenges, “teaches and encourages safety, a healthy lifestyle and environmental stewardship” as well as pushes cadets to their “mental and physical limits,” forcing them “to put into practice the self-reliance, leadership, and spirit of adventure they have learned at their local cadet corps. It magnifies their sense of what it is to be a Canadian!”

GSS looks for solution to wastewater woes By Joyce Cassin Brighton - GSS Engineering Consultants Ltd. came in about $3,000 under budget for the six months last year, invoicing $145,213.61 excluding HST, and GSS president Jef Graham has submitted an estimate for the first three months of 2016 or a further one-year contract for council to consider. Graham told council Monday night that in order to assist with the evaluations of the nine proposals received for the Class Environmental Assessment, the cost would be $28,000 plus mileage to extend the contract until

March 31. He would also be the contact person for the selected consultant to ensure the “Class EA begins on the right foot.” He added that they would also complete the autocad drawings requested by Viktoria Light of MOE in her Inspection Report of last fall. “We obtained an extension to complete these drawings but the drawings need to be completed by Feb. 1 unless we obtain a further extension.” Graham also recommended contacting the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change to place timers

on the aerators to aid with ammonia issues. An additional nine months would include continuing the EA process and other issues at a cost of $73,000. “The cost of the first three months would be the same as Option 1 ($28,000) but very likely the costs could decline on a monthly basis thereafter. If monthly costs were assumed to be $5,000/ month for the balance of the year, total costs would be approximately $73,000 for the total 12-month period. All costs exclude tax.” Council opted to refer the report to budget on Jan. 19 for further discussion.

What’s the cost of freedom in Brighton? By Joyce Cassin Brighton - Freedom of Information (FOI) requests have increased drastically since the new council took over in Dec. 2014, with only one request in 2014 and nine in 2015. For the prior seven years prior to that, there were none, says Deputy Clerk Vickie Kimmett. A recent request regarding the Lakeside Landing subdivision netted an estimate of $408.40, which Bonnie Ostwald of Lakehurst Street says “seems a lot.”

She sent a letter to council asking for a negotiated value, but council decided to leave things as is. Coun. John Martinello asked if there was any way the cost could be reduced, and Kimmett said council could exempt a portion of the fee. The problem with that would be that she’d have to keep track of all staff time and it would likely end up costing more than the original estimate. The request covers documentation back to 2008. Coun. Mary Tadman said her concern is that if the municipality pro-

vides the information at a low cost, there’d be more and more requests. “We could be in a situation where, if we don’t really charge very much, we could be keeping one person busy all the time just doing Freedom of Informations,” Tadman said. “...I certainly find it a lot of money, but on the other hand, are we opening the door to everybody coming along and wanting whatever? “Are we going to set ourselves up so that we’re going to have to have another staff person do these?” During question period, resident David Green said he also submitted

an FOI and felt he was charged an amount higher than it should be. That aside, Green suggested council members ask themselves why the sudden increase in FOI requests. “I do think that we should try and be as accountable and transparent as possible, and that would work to reduce the Freedom of Information requests, absolutely,” Coun. John Martinello said. “In that vein then, all the months before that, everything council that did was great, so there didn’t need to be Freedom of Information requests, then

all of a sudden we did some pretty horrible things in the last six months?” Tadman asked. “Something has changed and there have been more, I’ll use the word secretive, but not in its full meaning,” Green said. “More information is not being divulged, decisions are being made without the public being aware of the information, causing people to have to ask for more details.” Council, although it appeared they had reduced the fee for another request, opted to leave the estimated fee of $408.40 for Ostwald, as is.

Westben 2016 season includes world premiere of original opera By John Campbell Campbellford - The centrepiece of Westben’s 2016 season is the world premiere of “The Pencil Salesman,” a brand new opera composed by the co-founder of the Arts Festival Theatre, Brian Finley. Five years in the making, it all started with a challenge issued by a Westben patron, Agnes M. Herzberg, who commissioned Finley to write an opera that tackled the subject of technology and its impact on interpersonal communication. The principal character, Boris Ball, the inventor of a Personal Touch Typewriter, is “rooted in his past and he can’t move on,” because he keeps the memory of his dead wife “alive in his imagination,” Finley said. As technology continues to advance at a breakneck pace, Ball is left standing “at an abyss,” oblivious to what’s happening in his family, in particular in his young granddaughter, who has been “forsaken” and is “a metaphor for the future.” It’s only when a wayward pencil salesman enters his life does he make the connection to his granddaughter. Research has shown that modern communication devices have, contrarily, “isolated us all and prevented us from really connecting as humans,” Finley said. What interests him is the cost it has exacted, “the dissolution of

human contact.” It’s a loss he hopes to convey with a “classically structured” opera that is “Mozartian in style” but “also quite accessible,” combining elements of musical theatre elements with humour. Its theme is “really relevant,” Finley said, and its message straightforward: “Connecting is as simple as letting go.” The cast includes “one of our country’s great baritones,” John Fanning, who plays the inventor, and Finley’s wife, Donna Bennett, as his late wife. Local teen, Olivia Rapos, the lone non-professional, portrays the granddaughter. Finley held a workshop with the performers last fall “to see if the whole piece actually made sense, and if the timings were right,” he said. “It was really successful ... It gave us a chance just to clean up some of the story aspects.” Only recently did he begin the “big job” that remains to be done with his opera: “orchestrate it” for the 18 musicians who will make up his handpicked chamber-sized orchestra. “It would be a dream come true to have this live beyond the first performance,” said Finley, who has already started to promote having “The Pencil Salesman” performed elsewhere in Canada and the United States, even England. The gala opening will take place at The Barn June 25, with four more performances

to follow June 26, and July 1, 2, 3. After that it’s a kaleidoscope of musical genres, from Broadway to jazz, classical to fiddle music, in a season that has been divided into four segments: Piano Mania, Voices of Summer, Broadway to Cape Breton, and Jazz – Out of this World. “We’re really hoping to do the Jazz Fringe Festival, like we did last year ... [which] was very successful,” Bennett said. More than 21 artists performed in eateries across Trent Hills and there was a free Jazz Jam held at the Clock Tower Cultural Centre in which everyone was encouraged to bring an instrument and sit in on the session with local musicians. To learn more about Westben’s 2016 lineup or to order tickets visit <www.westben.ca>. “The Pencil Salesman,” a new opera by Westben Arts Festival Theatre artistic and managing director Brian Finley, will make its world premiere June 26 at The Barn. Commissioned by a Westben patron, the opera combines humour and drama in examining the troubling effect communications technology has had on human relationships. Photo submitted

Cramahe CAO resigning ‘for personal reasons’

Cramahe Township – The exodus of high profile employees continues at Cramahe Township. Mayor Marc Coombs announced last week that CAO Dan O’Brien had submitted his resignation, effective March 18, “for personal reasons.” O’Brien, the township’s former director of operations, was appointed CAO in June, 2015, to replace Christie Alexander, who had retired. Cramahe hired him seven years ago as its director of parks and recreation, and then promoted him not long after to director of operations, responsible for both parks and recreation and the roads and water/wastewater operations.

Coombs said in a statement he accepted O’Brien’s resignation with regret as he “was someone I was always able to trust for his [judgment] and sound advice.” He “has been a valuable member of the leadership team for some time and the community has benefited from his extensive background and experience,” which included overseeing operations at Exhibition Place and the Markham Fairgrounds. Since Alexander’s retirement last summer, five other employees have moved on, three by their own choice – the planning coordinator and her replacement as well as the clerk – and two others who were dismissed, the treasurer and chief building official. “I appreciate Dan giving

By Sue Dickens Campbellford – Although he doesn’t have a crystal ball, Jeff Hamilton, the current president of the Trent Hills and District Chamber of Commerce, does have a vision he wants to promote in not only 2016 but for many years to come. “I think we’ve taken a different approach, to look at things longer term,” he said, as he heads into the last few months of his third term at the helm. The annual general meeting and election is only a couple of months away and with that in mind he said, “I would like to stay on and put my name in the hat.” For Hamilton the future of the chamber should include a number of initiatives that will continue well beyond any changes in board membership. “We’re looking for the long term whether the current board is in place, myself or others. We want to have a good base foundation either through our bylaws or practices so future boards can come in and hit the ground running,” he commented. With the AGM just around the corner he is also hoping to see new members. “When you want fresh blood and new ideas, it’s nice to continue to build on things you’ve done,” he noted. With that in mind Hamilton wants clarity as well as transparency. “One of the main key focuses for us over the next year is we see a great opportunity to attract the US visitor,” he noted, referencing the Canadian dollar which is reported to have hit a 13-year low last Friday closing at 68.82 cents US. Combined with this opportunity, Hamilton said the chamber also wants “to build the Trent Hills brand. We want to build Trent Hills as a four-

“Before it was Trent Hills the perfect destination ... now we want it to be the unforgettable destination.” season destination.” To do this he would like to see the chamber change its focus somewhat from Trent Hills overall to focusing on the communities that make up this area. “Now we want to showcase what each individual community has to offer,” he explained.

“creating Trent Hills as an unforgettable destination.” The chamber used this idea quite a number of years ago for events, Hamilton explained, adding the chamber plans on resurrecting a website successful at that time. “Before it was Trent Hills the perfect destination ... now we want it to be the unforgettable destination.” Included in the plan is promotion of daytrips, festivals and events in the Trent Hills area. “And through that we will draw on support from the different communities to get their ideas of what works,” Hamilton explained. He also said that the Internet has become very important to the group. “Certainly our digital presence is huge for us. We’ve got lots of exposure through Facebook and our members can leverage those tools. You can reach such a wider audience for a fraction of the cost than we have in the past,” he said. The chamber also wants “to keep abreast of any changes at the municipal, provincial or federal level that affect business,” so its government relations and advocacy committee will be a key component to the organizational structure. “Ultimately at the end of the day, we want to be able to support our members and they want value for the money they spend on being a member.” For more information about the chamber go to: <http://www.trenthillschamber.ca/>.

OPINION

Syria: Not a peace, but maybe a ceasefire Abu Muhammad alGolani is an Islamist fanatic, a head-chopper (although only in moderation), and the leader of the Nusra Front, an al-Qaeda affiliate that is classified by the United States as “terrorist”. He spent almost a decade killing American occupation troops and civilians in Iraq as Gwynne Dyer Shia a loyal member of the Sunni extremist organisation that is now called Islamic State before going home to Syria in 2011. He was sent home to create a Syrian clone of what was then called “Islamic State in Iraq”, on the orders of Abu Baqr al-Baghdadi, the leader of Islamic State and now the self-proclaimed “Caliph” of all the Muslims. Golani named the Syrian branch the Nusra Front, and it did so well that he broke with Islamic State and went out on his own in 2013. There was a three-month turf war between Islamic State and the Nusra Front in Syria in early 2014 that killed an estimated 3,000 jihadis. Islamic State won it and now controls most of eastern Syria (and all of western Iraq). Golani managed to hang on to northwestern Syria, where the Nusra Front and another extreme Islamist organisation, Ahrar al-Sham, now completely dominate a rebel alliance that also includes several smaller “moderate” outfits. So you would not expect Golani to favour a peace deal that left the brutal Assad regime, secular in form but Shia-dominated, in power in Damascus. And indeed he does not: in a rare interview recently, he condemned the peace deal being cooked up by the US and Russia as “unacceptable”. It was, he said, a plot to merge more moderate rebel fighters with Assad’s forces in order to fight extremist groups like his own and Islamic State. Golani was right to be suspicious, and yet he may go along with the deal in the end, because it isn’t really a permanent peace settlement that is being discussed. It’s actually just a ceasefire that will leave all the players in Syria in control of the territory they now hold – except for Islamic State, which they can then all concentrate on destroying. This is the sort of Machiavellian thinking that caused Russian President Vladimir Putin to accuse Washington recently of “dividing terrorists into good and bad ones,” but it’s just as much a part of Russian thinking. When Moscow started bombing the rebels in Syria in September to

save the Assad regime from collapse, it bombed them all indiscriminately: the Nusra Front, Islamic State, even the “moderates”, if it could find them. But it quickly became clear that what Russia had in mind, after stabilising the battlefronts, was precisely what Golani was condemning: a ceasefire that would effectively partition Syria between the Assad regime and the various rebel groups, and enable them all to turn on Islamic State. You can’t admit that that’s what you are doing, of course, so you talk in terms of a peace settlement. That’s what Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US Foreign Secretary John Kerry were doing in Moscow on Tuesday, and the result is that a United Nations Security Council resolution endorsing the Syrian peace process will probably be passed on Friday. The current round of “peace talks” began in Vienna on October 23, with no Syrians present, just Russia, the United States, Turkey and Saudi Arabia. It subsequently expanded to include about 20 countries, and the organisers are now deciding which Syrians can attend the next round of talks, probably early in the new year. On one side, obviously, will be the the representatives of the Assad regime. On the other side will be some of the leaders of the armed opposition, but not all of them. Islamic State won’t be there, of course, and at the moment the Nusra Front says it won’t be either. Since those are the two most powerful groups fighting the Assad regime, what’s the point of talks? But the Nusra Front’s close ally, Ahrar alSham, did show up at last week’s meeting in Riyadh where decisions were being made on which groups could attend the peace talks. At one point it walked out – and then, after some further thought, it added its signature to the joint declaration. The Islamists of the Nusra Front and Ahrar al-Sham are clearly in two minds about a ceasefire (disguised as a peace agreement). On one hand, it would leave the Assad regime in power. On the other, it would give them time to consolidate their control over the territory they now hold, and maybe to eliminate their most dangerous rival, Islamic State. So in the end, they may go along with the idea. It wouldn’t be perfect, and it wouldn’t necessarily be permanent either. But it would stop most of the killing, it would at least contain if not eliminate Islamic State, and it might even let some of the refugees go home. It’s basically a Russian initiative, but Moscow is wisely letting the US take the lead now. If anybody has a better idea, please let us all know.

Sir John A. protesters should focus on more current First Nations issues Editorial - Stephen Petrick There once was a man named Sir John A. Macdonald who lived in my hometown of Kingston. He went on to be named Canada’s first prime minister and the city’s been celebrating his legacy ever since. His name has been attached to tourist attractions, festivals and special events in the city. Kingston’s economy is partially run on Sir John A.’s fame. But on Jan. 11, during a public downtown ceremony to mark what would have been Sir John’s 201st birthday, about two dozen protesters gathered nearby and burned a dummy of the man. The protesters held signs saying “Shame,” “Macdonald is a murderer” and “Don’t celebrate genocide.” The protest was to highlight Macdonald’s treatment of aboriginal people in the 1800s. Such protests aren’t new. In recent years a statue of Sir John in Kingston’s City Park and his former residences have been spray-painted with not-so-flattering words. I read these stories with complex emotions, as some members of my own family have First Nations blood and take issue with celebrating Sir John A.’s legacy. I was raised to have a heightened conscious around racism and have always strived to be sensitive to such emotionally-charged issues. But then the journalist in me also questions the efficiency of such protests or whether it’s really too simple to say “Sir John A. MacDonald was a racist.” In fact, Don Smith, a history professor at the University of Calgary who’s studied the prime minister’s relationship with aboriginals, wrote a column for The Globe and Mail recently, which suggested that it’s difficult to make a broad conclusion on Sir John’s attitude, given his lengthy political career. The column, titled “Sir John A.’s relationship with Aboriginals needs a closer look” included this passage: “Would-be chroniclers of John A. Macdonald’s relationship with Aboriginal Canada face four challenges: first, the paper mountain. They must examine forty metres of John A.’s correspondence and papers. Library and Ar-

chives of Canada also contains metres upon metres of material relating to the administration of Indian Affairs in the late nineteenth century.” Let’s assume for a second that Sir John A. was a flaming racist, who sent all First Nations away to squalid reserves and residential school so he could build his splendid railroad. This still poses the question of what can be accomplished by protesting these actions today and whether it’s fair to hold a person from two centuries ago to modern standards of acceptance. In my opinion, there’s no harm in almost any type of peaceful demonstration, intended to raise public awareness of an issue and to get people talking. I actually applaud those in the United States who protest Columbus Day. It helps people understand the term “Christopher Columbus discovered America” should be taken with grain of salt. (Columbus merely discovered a land that was already populated by aboriginals.) But burning a dummy of Sir John A. Macdonald in effigy, spray-painting messages on his statue, or slashing the tires on the car of a Kingston Sir John A. Macdonald researcher (as reportedly happened last week), seems like a waste of time for any First Nations supporter, given that there are more relevant, presentday First Nations issues that need more public attention. An aboriginal woman in Canada is four times more likely to go missing or murdered than a women of another race, the federal government is notoriously slow at settling land claims and many First Nations communities in Canada are in need of more affordable housing. We can debate the merits of Sir John A. Macdonald if we like, but the fact is we already know Canada has a difficult history with its First Nations cultures and recent apologies, like the one made by the federal government in 2008 for residential schools, shows there are efforts to make amends for it. The need to get angry over Canada’s past now seems less important than focusing on how to make a better future.

Jamboree to carry on at the Keeler Centre

By John Campbell

Colborne – The Auction Barn Jamboree is staying put and will return to the Keeler Centre for another year. Organizer Gary Warner had warned Cramahe Township council last fall that forcing him to use the caterers the township had contracted to provide services at the Keeler Centre could mean the end of the event. He already has a caterer for the jamboree and making him cancel

that arrangement “could put the jamboree in jeopardy,” he said. Warner asked for a permanent exemption from the policy the township had put in place granting two catering firms exclusive rights to serve food at events held in the centre. But council held firm and Warner has decided to go ahead with plans for the 2016 Auction Barn Jamboree Sept. 1-4. “The eating arrangements have absolutely no impact on me financially

as an organizer and it’s entirely up to the caterers, if they can put on an affordable meal and sell it,” he said in an interview. He conceded “it probably will [hurt attendance] a little.” The jamboree has a two-hour supper break “and if the meals can’t be provided at a price the people want to pay, they’ll just barbecue at their trailers,” Warner said. “Most people can’t compete with the guaranteed prices we had for meals.” His caterer in Roseneath “set the

price, we never did,” he said. Warner is still working on booking acts for the 12th annual country music show. “We’re nowhere near getting the lineup put together yet,” he said, but “we’ve got some key people that we want already booked.” The steady drop in the value of the Canadian dollar has forced him to end the tradition of scheduling “a top name American entertainer” to perform on Wednesday night. Taking into account current rates

and bank fees, you’re losing “pretty near 50 cents on the dollar” Canadian versus American, he said. “If you’re booking a $20,000 act, now you got to get $30,000.” The jamboree’s bread-and-butter is its open mike program in which people in the audience are given the opportunity to sing a couple of songs onstage in the afternoon and again at night after the professional singers and musicians perform. They “go five hours every day,” Warner said.

Chamber will present new strategic plan at annual general meeting By John Campbell East Northumberland – Members of the Brighton-Cramahe Chamber of Commerce will be presented with a four-year strategic plan at the chamber’s annual general meeting Feb. 23. The new plan, which builds on the one that covered the 2013-15 period, sets four strategic initiatives – membership growth, communications, expanded events and program development, manager Sherry Hamilton said. They’re all intended to help the chamber’s member businesses “do their job

better,” she said. “We provide a lot of support for the business community directly and indirectly. We’re a hub of information.” Its services include arranging for mentorship support that will help with everything from starting up a business to handling income challenges to succession planning, all done confidentially. “I’ve seen lot of success come out of it,” Hamilton said. The plan includes “all kinds of fundraising ideas” to generate revenue for the chamber which lost about half of its funding last year when the Municipality of

Brighton chose not to renew the tourism services agreement. Despite the challenges it faced in 2015, the chamber demonstrated fiscal responsibility by not having to use any of the 2016 dues it had collected before the end of last year. “Sometimes they did that in a very big way and that was always a problem for the chamber of commerce,” president Burke Friedrichkeit said. Membership growth will be a key priority and the chamber can use as a selling point the two-month survey it completed in December which found 90 per of its members

said they would recommend the organization to other businesses. “Our membership is generally pleased with the way we’re going and they’re supportive of bringing more businesses in,” Hamilton said. She said “a good average for a chamber of commerce in Canada [is] about 30 per cent” of local businesses to be members. “We’re at about half that [so] there’s easily room to double our membership.” Friedrichkeit said “there is a lot of negativity [in the area] and we have to try to overcome that. “The potential here is mind-boggling, we really sit on a goldmine but [some people] don’t realize it ... We’re trying to show a positive side.” Hamilton is working on a proposal she will present to Cramahe Township next month that will offer up to 15 recommendations for improving Colborne. It’s based on a First Impressions Community Exchange involving a team from Cannington who visited the village last year as part of a program funded by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. “We will make a proposal to Cramahe inviting them to partner with us on achieving those recommendations. If they decide it’s a priority for them, we’ll tell them what can be done and how we think we can help do that.” Hamilton said she “would not be surprised if more businesses opened in the downtown core” or existing businesses change what they are doing as a result of the First Impressions report, which created a “buzz” when it was presented to about 50 people at a public meeting in November. “I’m very optimistic from what I’m hearing,” she said. Her recommendations will include short-term “really simple” suggestions as well as answers to “complicated issues that may require further investment.”

New coin commemorates Commonwealth Air Training Plan From RCAF Public Affairs The Royal Canadian Mint has launched a new $20 silver coin commemorating the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP). The Plan, as it came to be known, arose from Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King’s desire to see Canada contribute

meaningfully to the Allied war effort while, hopefully, maintaining control of Canadian personnel rather than seeing them absorbed into British units, and avoiding the terribly high casualty rates of the First World War. The BCTAP agreement was signed in late 1939, and ran until 1945. It was a simple plan, on the surface. Once Commonwealth nations around the world

had determined through their own Elementary Flying Training Schools (EFTS) that enrollees did, indeed, have “the right stuff”, candidates arrived at BCATP schools throughout Canada for advanced flying training, and air gunnery, wireless operator and air observer instruction. Upon graduation, aircrew travelled to England where they formed units and entered the fray under their

own nations’ banners. Beneath this ordered surface was one of the most demanding efforts undertaken by Canada during the Second World War. Airfields and schools were repurposed or constructed throughout Canada. These facilities and their supporting infrastructure would employ some 33,000 military personnel and about 6,000 civilians, and require about 5,000 aircraft – at a staggering cost of more than $607 million. By war’s end, BCATP schools had trained 131,553 Allied aircrew, and Canada had become known as “the aerodrome of democracy”. The Plan was one of the most successful efforts undertaken by Canada during the Second World War. A legacy of the BCATP is visible in the many airfields and regional airports that dot our nation today. The Royal Canadian Mint’s new British Commonwealth Air Training Plan commemorative $20 silver coin is a fitting tribute to The Plan and to the Canadians who brought it to life. With thanks to the Royal Canadian Mint for the use of its images. Coin images© 2016 Royal Canadian Mint. All rights reserved

Chiefs make major changes in push to make playoffs

By John Campbell

Colborne – Winners of four of their last seven, the Colborne Chiefs are doing much better than at the start of the season when they were losing regularly and often by large margins in their Greater Metro Junior A Hockey League debut. Dave Der, now the team’s sole owner as well as president, said the team began showing signs of improvement after it “made some major changes” that included installing a new coaching staff, with Alex McDonnell now directing the troops, assisted by Brett

Bateman. Der also serves as an assistant coach when he’s available. Those changes continued last week at the trade deadline. The team picked up three of Bobcaygeon’s “top players,” including Adam Smith, who was traded away by the Chiefs earlier this season “to get another good player,” Der said. The other two were Karter Donnelly, also a forward, and Hayden Verge, “a very solid defenceman.” Colborne sent forward Jameson Champion and defenceman Drake Montgomery the other way. The Chiefs also picked up Egor

Grishatov, a six-foot-six, 230-lb behemoth from Russia, for cash from Orangeville. All four are in their last year of eligibility to play in the GMJHL. The Chiefs made a point of adding veterans “because we have a pretty young team,” Der said, and their morale needed a boost after so many lopsided losses. The “overall experience” of the team’s first season in the GMJHL has been “a roller coaster ride ... but the changes we have made are definitely for the better” and needed to be made as “a stepping stone to get where we

are today,” he said. “We’re trying to make a push for the playoffs.” Colborne currently sits eighth in the Central Division, tied with Orangeville. Both have 23 points. The ninth and tenth teams will play a suddendeath game with the winner to play the eighth place team, and the winner of that match will face the division’s top team in a best-of-five series in the opening round of the playoffs. Colborne’s lineup was further bolstered by the signing of three “really good younger players” -- forwards Tyler Brackin, Austin Mackie and Mitchell Hallett.

The revamped Chiefs are bigger, stronger and they like to hit, Der said. They can also “put the puck in the net because we have four solid lines now that can score. It’s a big improvement since the beginning of the year.” Der expressed hope that more fans will begin showing up for home games because it’s “a brand new team with all the changes” and that has made them competitive as well as entertaining. Colborne plays host to Grey Highlands Jan. 27 at the Keeler Centre. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

Dog breeder reports feeling threatened by dissatisfied customer

East Northumberland -- A Percy Ward dog breeder in Trent Hills reported receiving “veiled” threats from a dissatisfied customer Jan. 14, Northumberland OPP media relations officer Constable Steve Bates said in his weekly report. “Officers cautioned the Toronto area man to cease and desist contacting the breeder and to seek legal advice from a civil court lawyer. No charges resulted.” In other OPP news from the region, police attended a Brighton-area home where a woman alleged her teenage daughter had assaulted here. “After consultation with officers it was determined the best course of action was to refer the youth for anger management and

substance abuse counselling,” Bates said. A Trent Hills youth was charged with mischief under $5,000 after breaking a window in his home. A Honda Civic slid off the roadway at the intersection of Richardson and Oliphant street in Brighton around 3:30 p.m. Jan. 13. Clifford Johnston, 24, of Quinte West, was charged with having care and control of a motor vehicle while impaired by drugs or alcohol, and care and control of a motor vehicle while his blood alcohol content exceeded the legal limit. An officer conducting radar enforcement on Highway 401 in the Brighton area stopped a Honda Accord that had been measured travelling 157 km/h around 12:25

p.m. The passengers included a 10-month-old baby. The car was impounded for seven days and the 20-year-old Ajax driver had her licence suspended for the same length of time. A Cramahe Township resident reported receiving a Facebook message informing him he had won a lottery but was not to contact the police or the win would be voided. The man correctly recognized it as a scam and notified police Jan. 12 . A Brighton teenager called police after getting into an argument with her parents about the use of a car and house rules. Officers provided advice to the family. Campbellford Memorial Hospital asked police for its help in

returning a patient who had left ported a break-in during which an excavator was driven before being seen by staff and around the property. was considered a danger to himself. Officers found the person at a nearby residence and returned him for treatment. Officers investigated 20 motor “Fireplace Showroom” vehicle collisions happened on the day. None resulted in serious injuries “and all caused by moin your Home Comfort torists not adjusting their driving Since 1995 to road and weather conditions,” Bates said. The Municipality of Brighton reported a stop sign at the corner of Harbour and Ontario streets and a warning sign for southbound traffic on the CramaheBrighton Boundary Road were damaged.

As with last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wellattendedâ&#x20AC;&#x153;Dance Hall Daze,â&#x20AC;? the open house will feature a presentation that includes music and â&#x20AC;&#x153;popup speakersâ&#x20AC;? as well as a talk by Dan Buchanan, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The History Guy.â&#x20AC;? New this year is that the presentation, which launches the event Thursday night, Feb. 18, will have an encore performance Sunday afternoon, Feb. 21. In between there will be more than a dozen booths set up by local organizations on Saturday, Feb. 20 when there will also be a heritage tea organized by the Codrington, Community and York Road Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Institute. Buchanan and other local history historians will be there as well to chat and the Brighton and Presquâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ile Railway Association will have a train setup for all to enjoy. A full stage built by a 4-H club will serve as the interior of a railway station containing many artifacts that museum founder Ralph Bangay has loaned for the occasion. Prominent among the attractions will be a 22-foot long map on rice paper showing land that was to be appropriated between Trenton and Colborne as part of the original route plan for the Grand Trunk Railway in 1854, Buchanan said. Dennis Fletcher will serve as the emcee for the two presentations, which will feature music by local group, R and R (Ray Herbert and Ralph De Jong), and a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Caboose Choir, led by Sharon Graham. They will be singing the words of poem written in the mid-

Pond Hockey Classic set for Jan 29-31

By Ross Lees

It started out as squadron sports day and has now grown into a highly anticipated annual iconic event. The fifth annual CFB Trenton Pond Hockey Classic just continues to grow and improve its fundraising goals thanks to the efforts of Capt. Jeff Moorhouse, the man who came up with the idea originally and who continues to nurse it through each growth spurt. This year, he hopes to have 32 teams playing on the three outdoor rinks at Batawa backed up with a spare rink and, in the process raise $50,000 for the two recipients – Wounded Warriors Canada and the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation. Last year the tournament featured 30 teams and 150 guests at the Puck Drop dinner. This year, Capt. Moorhouse hopes to attract 180 guests for the dinner, which does not have a confirmed guest speaker at this point. The event could not happen without the support of 8 Wing/ CFB Trenton and a familiar face returned to the event this year in the form of 8 Wing Commander Colonel (Col.) Colin Keiver. Keiver was the man Moorhouse first went to as Commander of 436 Transport Squadron with the idea of a sports day. Moorhouse however, deflects that praise onto the shoulders of the many volunteers necessary to support the event, noting that 90 per cent of the volunteers are military members although last year the civilian teams taking part actually outnumbered the military teams, he noted. “We’re even getting some civilian volunteers this year,” he

added. “It’s neat to see how the public has embraced this tournament.” Trenton Mayor Jim Harrison lauded Moorhouse’s involvement with Batawa, noting he had raised over $250,000 just in grants for the community. “We’re lucky you land here now and again and we appreciate everything you’ve done,” he said to Capt. Moorhouse. David Macdonald of Wounded Warriors Canada was proud of his organizations association with the CFB Trenton Pond Hockey Classic. “We can’t think of a more Canadian event than this mixing the Canadian military, Wounded Warriors Canada and our nation’s pastime of pond hockey. We can’t think of a better location than at Canada’s largest air base, where most of our men and women have deployed overseas and have come back and reaching out to us when they seek help,” he added. Capt. Moorhouse also paid tribute to the sponsors for their assistance in promoting the tournament. “This tournament would not have grown, would not be nearly as successful without our sponsors. We were fortunate enough in our second year to work with Scotiabank and Scotia McLeod, two organizations who teamed up to be our title sponsors. They’ve given us the resources to grow this tournament and obviously the legitimacy when you have a large institution like Scotiabank and Scotia McLeod supporting you makes it a lot easier to seek sponsorship at lower levels,” he indicated. “We now represent ScotiaWealth, which is the amalgamated version of Scotiabank

and Scotia McLeod and various other corporate partners,” stated Julie Lange, ScotiaWealth director and Honorary Colonel (Hon. Col.) of 436 Transport Squadron. “We are so honoured to be a part of such a great fundraising and local effort.” Hon. Col. Lange praised the military and members like Capt. Moorhouse for their dedication and inspiration within the community. “We appreciate all that the military does for us in our community. They often go unnoticed as the huge contributor that they are to our local economy so it’s just a small way for us to give it back. My sincere congratulations to Jeff because it has often been a single-handed effort on his part,” she added, noting he was often out late at night or early in the morning preparing the rinks for the tournament. “It wouldn’t happen without someone like Jeff spearheading it and of course the support of the base,” she said as she announced ScotiaWealth would also have three teams in the tournament this year. Capt. Moorhouse said he had never envisioned the growth of the event to its present level, but he also made it clear he had not yet reached anywhere near the level he eventually hoped to reach. “Hunstville has 150 teams, so I don’t know why we can’t hit that at one point, too,” he said, drawing exclamations of amazement from the Col. Keiver and many others attending the press conference. To enter a team for the fouron-four hockey tournament or to volunteer, go to www.hockeyfortroops.com

Rebels still hold out hope of making the playoffs By John Campbell Campbellford – With its season winding down in the Empire B Junior C Hockey League, the fifth-place Campbellford Rebels haven’t given up hope of making it into the playoffs. They trailed the Gananoque Islanders by four points but had two games in hand with 10 games remaining heading into Saturday’s match against the Amherstview Jets. A 9-5 loss at home didn’t help the club’s chances but team president Jim Peeling said fourth spot is still within reach. Three of the Rebels’ remaining games are against the cellar-

dwelling Picton Pirates while another is against the Islanders. “If we can win three of those four, we got a really good shot of getting that fourth spot,” Peeling said, adding with a laugh the club would be “fodder for Port Hope in the first round,” as the Panthers hold a commanding lead atop the league with 25 wins and just four losses. Campbellford plays Port Hope twice this weekend, the first game at home Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. Peeling said the Rebels have been hurt by players getting hurt, with team injuries including broken collarbones, broken fingers and a broken ankle.

Illness has also dragged the team down, with three players calling in sick before Saturday’s contest. “It just seems to be one thing after another,” he said. Campbellford had won two in a row for the just the second time this season before losing to Amherstview, beating Napanee 3-2 and Gananoque 5-2. The road win over Napanee was impressive, as the Raiders sit in second place, 23 points ahead of the Rebels. Jeremiah Doherty scored twice, including the winner on a power play in the third period. Ethan McDougall also scored with the team holding a man advantage.

Netminder Tyler Freeman made 53 saves for his first win of the season. It was a one-goal game with 20 minutes to play in Campbellford’s loss at home Saturday but then the Jets exploded for seven goals to secure the victory. Doherty, Austin Fry, Travis Bennett and Tristan Nugent scored for the Rebels, who held a 3-1 lead with less than two minutes to play in the second before the floodgates opened. Peeling said the Rebels didn’t have “a bad player on the team” when it advanced to the allOntario semi-finals in 2011 and there’s none in this group “when it comes to effort.”

Hawks shine for college scouts after North-East Showcase

By Erin Stewart

Trenton - The Trenton Golden Hawks had a busy weekend, playing games against Aurora and Cobourg, all under the watchful eyes of scouts from colleges and universities across Canada and the United states during the North-East Showcase. “The showcase is a way for all of the players to display their talents for scouts,” John McDonald, director of hockey operations, said.

“This weekend we’ve had a number of boys talked to. I know Sacred Heart (Connecticut) talked to two or three of our boys last night, Adrian College (Michigan) talked to two or three, there’s a lot of interest in our players which is really, really, nice,” he said. McDonald said the tournament went well and teams in the Ontario Junior Hockey League (OJHL) enjoyed it and played some outstanding hockey. The showcase came just a couple days after the Hawks’ star goalie Dan-

iel Urbani, ranked as the number one goalie in the OJHL, accepted an offer to Canisius College in Buffalo, New York. “Daniel accepted an offer on Wednesday for four years at Canisius College, that’s an NCAA Division One school, one of the best programs in the nation, so we are quite excited he’s accepted their offer and will be going there for the next four years,” McDonald said. North-East Showcase Game Action The Aurora Tigers defeated the Golden Hawks 7-4 in their first game of the showcase on Friday Jan. 15. McDonald said the team was not firing on all cylinders. “We just kind of ran out of gas and I

think we, as a whole team, we didn’t have a good game, that’s the only way compete,” he said. “We just didn’t to describe it.” Mac Lewis, Liam Morgan, Kevin Lavoie and Josh Allan scored the team’s goals in the first game. The Hawks’ second game of the showcase was a tough one, but much better than the first. The Hawks came out with a 3-2 win against the Cobourg Cougars on Sunday Jan. 17. As of January 1, 2016, “It was the reverse,” Mcdonald said, comparing the Cobourg game to the Ontario’s new match against Aurora. “They came to Electronic Cigarettes Act play and they put on an outstanding effort and got back in the win column, is now in effect. so I was very happy with that, they turned it around.” No lead was more than one goal throughout the game and both Trenton and Cobourg did not give up a single goal while down a man during power plays.

Some of Ontario’s best curlers compete at provincial bonspiel in Brighton Brighton – Thirty-two men’s curling teams from across Ontario descended on Brighton and Trenton last weekend for the Fairfield Marriott Challenge provincial championship. The curling clubs in the two centres have been co-hosts of the bonspiel for now 26 years, with the pair taking turns as the venue for the final match played Sunday afternoon to determine the overall winner It was Brighton and District Curling Club’s turn Jan. 17. Emerging as the provincial champion after 45 games was Terry Archer’s rink from Simcoe’s Stroud Curling Club. The other event winners were: B – David Cormier’s team from the Huntley Curling Club in Carp; C – Joey Taylor’s crew

Joe Zimny, secretary of Brighton and District Curling Club and its Ontario Curling Association representative, was one of about 20 volunteers from the club who helped with the hosting of the association’s Fairfield Marriott Challenge provincial men’s championship last weekend.

from the Royal Canadian Curling Club in Toronto; D -- Dylan Haggart team from the City View Curling Club in Ottawa. The association is divided into 16 zones, with each zone sending two teams by way of playdowns. “One of the rules is you cannot have the same team every year. You’ve got to have at least two new players,” Zimny said. Teams from Belleville and

Tweed represented this area’s Zone 3. Zimny said the Fairfield Marriott Challenge adds to the club’s exposure and builds interest in its activities. It also adds “a little bit of extra revenue” to its coffers. The club, which celebrated its 50th anniversary last year, is “still struggling with the town over helping us out,” Brose said.

Sleep Out So Others Can Sleep In returns Jan. 29 By Stephen Petrick Belleville – The most bonechilling cold fundraising event in Belleville is coming back for another year. The Canadian Mental Health Association is getting ready for the ninth annual Sleep Out So Others Can Sleep In event, to be held overnight from Friday Jan. 29 to Saturday, Jan. 30. The event has participants sleep outside overnight in makeshift tents in Belleville’s Market Square. The funds they raise through pledges goes to the CMHA HastingsPrince Edward Branch, to pay for improvements in its transitional housing units. Branch Executive Director Sandie Sidsworth said the event inspires people to work towards ending homelessness as, by the end of it, they know how devastating it can be to not have a proper bed or shelter, especially on a freezing cold night. Last year the event took place on a night when temperatures were expected to hit -27C. On two other past occasions, the event took part during a deep freeze. “The conversations in the morning are far different than the conversations at night,” she said. “People are exhausted, they’re wary. People say ‘I don’t know how people do

this. I don’t want to do this again.’” While the feeling of waking up, following a night of sleeping in a cardboard box isn’t pleasant, it’s a meaningful experience, Sidsworth said, as those who go through it come out with a new appreciation for what those without a home may go through. “It’s not easy and it’s just creating awareness,” she said. “Maybe we can build empathy and compassion.” Participants are asked to gather at Market Square, behind City Hall, at 7 p.m., where they can assemble homemade shelters, with cardboard boxes. An opening ceremony gets underway at 8 p.m. At that time, Kristin Crowe, of TAS Communications, will be introduced as the event’s honorary chair. Also, organizers plan to recognize former city councillor Pat Culhane, and current councillors Egerton Boyce and Garnet Thompson for their efforts in promoting the event over the years. The Sleep Out has raised about $115,000 over the previous eight years and that money has helped the CMHA pay for items that aren’t normally covered in senior government funding or grant programs, such as furniture for its homes. The CMHA runs a fivebed unit for seniors, a fivebed unit for women and a

10-bed duplex unit for people coming off the street. Yet more space is needed, as last year there were about 900 cases in which a person came to the CMHA for shelter needs and the demand couldn’t be met. This year, Sidsworth is hoping the event can raise $10,000 through individual donors. Last year, a local philanthropist agreed to match the number

of local donations, in order to bring the total number to above $20,000. Sidsworth said the Sleep Out is a spirited event in the evening, as participants are entertained with music by DJ Scotty Lalonde and there’s a “warming centre” at the old fire prevention office on Pinnacle Street that participants can enter. The hard part comes as the early morning hours sink in.

Fortunately, the CMHA has support from St. John Ambulance, who staff provdies first aid and check in on people to ensure no one is at risk of hypothermia. Those who aren’t handling the cold well, she stressed, are encouraged to go home, as safety is a priority for everyone. She also stressed that alcohol at the event is not allowed, for safety reasons.

Often the event draws 80 to 100 people, she said. By 7 a.m., they’ll all have gone home to rest in warm shelter and hopefully continue a discussion about homelessness. “I wait for those morning conversations,” Sidsworth said. “I say, ‘you know what, we’ve done our job this year.’ It takes all kinds of pieces to build the safety net to support homelessness.”

MP Bossio reaches out to municipalities in his vast riding

By Diane Sherman

Madoc - Federal MP Mike Bossio has reached out to municipalities in the vast riding of Hastings-Lennox and Addington to set up satellite offices for constituents to talk with him or his staff in person, without having to drive the distance to the office in Napanee. The official opening of the Napanee constituency office is Jan. 22, from 1 to 4 p.m., at 20-B Richmond Boulevard, with regular hours from 9 to 4 weekdays. Centre Hastings council approved use of the office in the front of the municipal building as a satellite office, from noon to 4 p.m., the third Tuesday of every other month starting Feb. 16. Other offices in Stirling, Tweed and Flinton will be on the same schedule. An office in Bancroft will be open the second Tuesday of every month. Bossio says he will be at these locations whenever he

can if he is not in Ottawa. In his absence a staff member will be there. The new MP says he has been to every one of the municipal councils in his riding since elected. He says concerns are “pretty well uniform across the board.” His goal to have the Liberal government establish a rural caucus has been successful. Currently there are 15 ridings signed on in Ontario and there should be 40-70 nationally.

In spite of the bad weather Jan. 12 and 13, Bossio kept his commitment to meet with business and community leaders in Bancroft and Napanee to discuss their ideas on “how to best deliver an ambitious economic agenda to grow the economy and create long-term prosperity,” ahead of the federal budget, as part of an nationwide consultation process launched by Finance Minister Bill Morneau on Jan. 6. He said he found common themes during the round table discussions. “Housing and long-term care, not just seniors but those with disabilities and mental health issues, is a big concern.” he said. “Transit systems for rural residents is another issue, as is reducing poverty, food insecurity and waste management.” He says small entrepreneurs are hoping for some relief to keep operating. He plans on working with local social and economic development committees, and intends on stressing to the government the unique challenges faced by rural communities. Bossio says there are three sepaMayor Tom Deline of Centre Hastings and MP Mike Bossio are seen here af- rate transit systems operating in the ter a special meeting of council Nov. 24 wherein council expressed concerns riding, each one facing funding restraints.

Quinte Symphony announces venue change By Jack Evans The venue for Quinte Symphony’s “ European Holiday” concert on Feb. 28 has been changed. A mix- up in dates and bookings means the symphony cannot perform this date in Centennial Secondary School auditorium as originally announced. The location has been moved to Bridge Street Church sanctuary. This exciting concert will feature the orchestra’s own conductor, Dan Tremblay, a master trumpet player, in a trumpet concerto by Russian-born composer Arutunian, whose work was highly influenced by American jazz and folk music. Also on the program are works by two other Russian composers, Tchaikowsky’s “Capriccio Italien” and Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Capriccio Espagnol.” Tickets at $25 for adults, $20 for seniors, $10 for students and free for children are now available on line at: thequintesymphony.com, also at the Quinte Arts Council office, Sam the Record Man, Quinte Mall and Books and Company, Picton. The orchestra has marshalled several new and highly qualified musicians in recent weeks and now presents a highly polished symphonic sound, well worth a listen for those who have not attended any recent concerts. The orchestra has two more concerts remaining in its current 55th year season: Sunday , May 1, when it joins forces with the Northumberland Orchestra for a massive concert including Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition,” and Poulenc’s “Gloria” with Bridge Street Choir. This evening concert will be a spectacular event, officials proclaim. Finally, a special concert on Sunday, May 8 will be part of the Kidstock Festival with a special concert for youngsters and their parents in Maranatha Church in the afternoon.

Music will add flair to Hogfest 2016

With the Winter Solstice of 2015 about a month behind us in the rearview mirror, and winter finally making an appearance, the natural thing for Canadians to do is start dreaming about the coming of Spring. Before you know it Wiarton Willy will be emerging from his burrow to tell us whether we will have an early spring or six more weeks of winter. To celebrate this ritual passage of time in Stirling the Lions Club is getting ready to host its annual Groundhog

Festival on the last weekend of January and for 2016 there are a few extra events currently being planned. When Lion Dave Potts contacted the Stirling Rotary Club to see if they were interested in participating in the annual festival the answer was an immediate “Yes!” and to that end the historic Stirling Railway Station will once again be filled with live music on Friday night, January 29th. Local musician Dave Bush helped the Lions

and Rotary last summer, with the assistance of some of his musical friends, during their Water Buffalo Festival and so he was the natural go-to guy for the 2016 Hogfest. Dave Bush and a few Rotarians had already been considering a music night at the station as a fundraiser for the Stirling Library and the Hogfest invitation was all that was needed to bring such an idea to life. “I’m glad to help out any way I can,” was Dave’s immediate response. “I know a lot

of local musicians and I am sure they will all be onboard too as soon as they hear about it.” He was right. Brian Cosbey will be in the lineup and will be giving his brand new audio system a workout with the angelic voice of Julie Simpson another feature of the evening’s performances. The lineup has not been fully filled out at press time but rumour has it that Just Lucky, a duo who were so well received at Rotary’s last Open Mic night, will be return-

ing... that is if they can find their way over to Stirling now that Parks Canada has closed the bridge for the next few months in their hometown of Hastings. And for those who are hungry for more than music, the famous, dare we call it Groundhog Chili, will be coming out from the kitchen hot and spicy around 6 p.m. when the doors open at the station. Music is officially scheduled to start at 7 p.m. but musicians are notorious

for having fun in the tune-up session so it might be wise to get there early. The bar will be open to quench your thirst with beer, wine, coffee and Oak Hills Artesian Water all on tap. TH Logistics (Landstar Canada) a Stirling company owned by Rotarians Shelley and Trevor Hagerman, has generously stepped up as a corporate sponsor for this fundraising musical evening in support of the StirlingRawdon Public Library. Perhaps the best news of all is that there is no cover charge. Admission is free. However, anyone interested in adding to the library fund will find a donation jar on the bar. Oh, and please note that it is not sitting there for Hogfest bartender tips but rather for anyone who would care to make a direct contribution to the library fund. Yes, it’s a great cause. If winter comes, can spring be far behind? Better go dust off your groundhog suit. The Big Day is coming!

OPINION

Grass might be green, but not really greener

Your correspondent is not a fan of the first-person, ‘what I did on my vacation’ school of columnizing. In fact, former colleague, the late great Tom Gavey, told me he abhorred the appearance of “I” in any columns to the point he’d use the royal “we.” But, this week, after spending a few days on the Wet Coast visiting my oldest daughter for her 30th birthday, I (there’s that demon “I” Tommy!) have to scrape the scuppers for observation’s sake. This is one of those other-side-ofthe-fence tales where, while I have to firmly and resolutely confirm that the grass is indeed greener – literally –there’s no way around it but to make first person references. (Enough with the bloated preamble, Malette, cut to the chase…) Admittedly, landing in a place like Vancouver that’s balmy, has greenery everywhere year-round and is indeed still in Canada in January is more than a little jarring to us easterners when we land there. But, one thing becomes apparent as one makes one’s way around the city and visits to its fabulously and justly-deserved natural attractions over a few days. That would be – Who in hell can afford to live here? We’ve all been hearing the stories of the insanely bloated real estate market, fuelled by the above-mentioned recipe for awesomeness that attracts people from around the world – a first world city at the top of many, many lists for best-of this and bestof that on world rankings. But, in my hand is the real estate ad insert for the North Shore News West Vancouver edition (my brother lives in West Van near Horseshoe

Bay and, yes, his neighbourhood is jaw-droppingly beautiful). Inside the advertising supplement is the expected dizzying array of spectacular, Homes of the Rich & Famous Oceanside palaces running to $4.9 million to $11.8 million for a 6,717 square foot, four-bedrom waterfront pile on Seaside Place. But, thumb to the rear and you can see why people like my just-turned30-year-old daughter – who simply loves Vancouver and devours everything the area has to offer in hiking, skiing and city living – are terrified about how they might ever set down permanent roots there. A “well-maintained family home” (read 1970s style bungalow) is listed at $2.7 million. Another unremarkable two-storey three bedroom home of possibly early ‘80s vintage with a two-car garage “just sold!” for $1.5 mill. That house, I can assure, would be hard-pressed to get $300K in the Belleville area market. You can see how young people – like another recently departed Belleville couple I met up with who, too, are trying to settle out in “loving everything but the cost” Vancouver – are wondering how, if they have decent, entry level jobs, they can ever afford to stay in the city? But, it’s not just the real estate. Gas? $1.07 a litre at a time when Calgary has petrol at 76 cents a litre. Booze? $28.80 for 12 cans of Heinekin at the BC likker store. Food? My brother paid $10.80 for a head of cauliflower we had to have for a curry he was whipping up the following night. As an aside, never for a minute drive past a local cheese factory in this area when one considers, in Van-

couver stores and at the fabulous Granville Market tiny – and I mean miniscule – pieces of aged cheddar sell for upwards of $9 to $12 for a bitty 100 to 200 gram chunk. Hell, start buying it and set up a five-year-old and up cheddar bootlegging ring in Vancouver and you’ll do better than most post shops (of which I read and saw there are now 160-plus open for business in Vancouver, alone). Want to take a rip up the Sea to Sky Highway for a day of skiing at Whistler – which is experiencing a bumper season for fresh, glorious powder snow? Hit the hip for a $125 single day lift pass. So, you get the picture. On returning, I was thinking to myself who in their right mind would face bone-chilling cold, ski hills that resemble little more than highway overpasses in B.C., no sea-to-sky vistas, restaurants that don’t feature

anything near the variety of international delights and quality of things like fresh seafood and on and on in our comparatively bland corner of Ontario? Well, kind reader, it’s all of the above. I don’t know many in these parts, earning largely what most do here, who could afford to live in little more than a one-bedroom apartment in lower mainland B.C., albeit surrounded by the natural splendour and eye-popping scenery if they were suddenly transported to balmy B.C. I know my brother and his family will never return to Ontario. He’s doing quite all right, business wise. My daughter and her partner? While they love it and live it to the Chris Malette fullest, the price of paradise may prove too much and that province will lose a young woman and young The grass, while actually green man with boundless skills, talent and there, is not by any stretch always intelligence because they simply can’t greener on that far side of the fence. Chris.malette@metroland.com afford to stay.

Pair charged with human trafficking By Margriet Kitchen Centre Hastings – In September 2015 the Central Hastings Crime Unit of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) launched a human trafficking investigation into incidents that were reported to have occurred in Central Hastings, Belleville and Kingston. On Jan. 11, 2016 investigators arrested Matthew Cole, 29 of Belleville. He is charged with conspiracy to commit the indictable offence of human trafficking, human trafficking (a person under 18), and procure-

ment. Cole was released on a promise to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice, Belleville on Feb. 25. On Jan. 12 Travis Althouse, age 28 of Cordova, was charged with the same list of offences. Althouse appeared Jan. 13 and was remanded into custody to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice, Belleville, on Jan. 14. Human trafficking involves the recruitment, transportation, holding or concealing of persons for the purposes of exploitation, most typically in the sex industry. It involves the receiving of a financial or material benefit

through the exploitation of that person. Procurement involves acquiring a person to become a prostitute and/or exercising control or influence over the movements of a person in a manner to compel them to engage in prostitution. As the investigation continues, members of the Central Hastings OPP Crime Unit encourage anyone with information or concerns for the safety of any person relating to this investigation to call 613-473-4234 or OPP Communication Centre at 1-888-3101122, or contact Sgt. Kristine Rae, 613-285-5479, kristine.rae@opp.ca

A Visit to the Cracker Barrel Décor Centre in Lebanon, Tennessee

These antiques are ready for shipment to various Cracker Barrel stores.

Larry Singleton is the Décor Manager at the Cracker Barrel Décor Centre.

The Cracker Barrel chain of stores began in Lebanon, Tennessee in 1969.

By John M. Smith As you drive along through the U.S.A., you’ve probably passed by (or stopped at) several Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores. After all, there are now over 600 of them in more than 40 states. They’re easy to spot because they all have that trademark porch with accom-

panying wooden rocking chairs, and many of these are often filled by relaxing visitors. The interiors are designed to resemble an old-fashioned general store, and the menus are based on traditional Southern cuisine. Each store also has a fireplace, with a deer head and a shotgun above it. However, did you know that the very first Cracker Barrel store was opened in Lebanon, Tennessee in 1969, and that Lebanon is still the site of the company’s headquarters? On a recent visit to Tennessee, I visited the Cracker Barrel Décor Centre in Lebanon, and here I met with Larry Singleton, the Décor Manager. I found it quite intriguing to check out this large warehouse and see the incredible collection of antiques that were piled on the long rows of shelves, including oldfashioned toys, water pumps, wood cook stoves, barrels, coffee pots, gardening tools, butter churns, cameras, metal business signs, tin cans, cast-iron cookware, hand-crank telephones, mugs, pictures, appliances, furniture, and farm tools. I learned that Larry has been looking for and collecting appropriate antiques for these stores for well over 30 years, and Larry told me that the warehouse itself has actually become rather famous among antique collectors, for thousands of articles and pieces are kept here, all ready to be shipped out to their stores. I even saw some palettes loaded with antiques about to be sent off to a store in North Carolina.

Larry proudly stated that they like to think of every Cracker Barrel Old Country Store as a “Museum of Americana”, so a lot of attention to detail and the restoration process takes place. Each antique piece is carefully classified, cleaned up, and restored. Then a great deal of planning goes into what specific artifacts are sent to a particular store. About 950 artifacts are selected for a new store, and designers will then travel to that destination to make the installations, just to make certain that all is set up according to the plan. I learned that that very first Cracker Barrel Old Country Store was designed by Dan Evins, a Shell Oil representative, who thought that he could improve gasoline sales along certain interstates by designing eateries that resembled traditional country stores, similar to what he remembered as a child, and he decided to serve Southern cuisine, including biscuits, grits, fried chicken, and turnip greens. This concept proved very popular, and several other similar restaurants were added along certain interstates, on gasoline station sites. However, as time passed, the gas pumps disappeared, and the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store franchise switched to concentrating on its restaurant and gift store concept. Now, when customers drop in for some of that “Good ole Southern cooking” in one of the more than 600 Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores, they often enjoy browsing through the store, too, for there are

Some of the typical antique items stored in the Cracker Barrel Décor Centre.

always a great variety of interesting items on display, from food and candy, apparel and accessories, toys and games, and even personal care items. It’s even possible to buy a rocking chair, a porch swing, or a vintage tractor seat stool while there! I learned that their rocking chairs are their very best seller. I also discovered that over 200 million biscuits, 151 million eggs, 121 million slices of bacon, 56 million pancakes, 37 million portions of grits, and 11 million orders of chicken and dumplings are served in this chain per year! If you decide to visit Lebanon, to check out that Cracker Barrel Décor Centre for yourself, you might also decide to visit the nearby Fiddler’s Grove Historic Village (www.fiddlersgrove.org), if you happen to be passing through during the summer. You’ll find more than 50 historic buildings there, including a blacksmith shop, general store, printing office, school, church, drug store, barber shop, doctor’s office, post office, jail, garage, law office, and broom factory. You’ll also discover that Fiddler’s Grove is staffed by young costumed actors, and tours are available. For More Information: www.crackerbarrel.com/ store/explore-our-decor; www.tnvacation.com

The award is calculated It’s the second Master Breeder shield using a multi-faceted and for Crovalley Farm near Hastings (the complex formula that relast was 2001). The award, established wards animal excellence. in 1929 and always announced to kick “Master breeders are recognized for having mastered the art of breeding balanced cattle – high production and outstanding conformation with great reproduction, health and longevity,” Holstein Canada says. “It’s the highest level in breeding genetics,” says John. In a social media-rich world the accolades were immediate with calls and text messages piling up. “You have all these friends across North America so it makes it pretty rewarding,” he added. John has judged cattle Crovalley Farm near Hastings will receive its second Master Breeder shield from Holstein Cana- across North America and da. Standing by the shield they won in 2001 are John Crowley, Cynthia Crowley, Ryan Crowley and Central and South America as well as South Korea; he Justin Crowley.

By Bill Freeman

of the New Year, is the most coveted and prestigious honour presented by Holstein Canada. During the awards ceremony this April in Calgary and Banff, Holstein Canada will reach a milestone of its own handing out its 1,000th shield. “We’re happy and surprised,” said John, a fifth generation dairy farmer and internationally renowned show judge who shares the award with wife Cynthia, sons Ryan and Justin and daughters Christina and Vanessa.

and his children have shown cattle at the most prestigious shows in Canada and the United States with scores of all-Canadian, allOntario and All-American nominations. Justin and Ryan have also travelled to the United States and Europe as clippers. “That’s a whole different side of it,” says Justin. The Crovalley success follows a direct line from the 18 registered Holsteins the Crowleys bought from “hand-picked herds” following a 1977 fire that destroyed the family’s barn. From those cows came the “Anne” cow, John says, whose descendants are responsible for more than half the Master Breeder points. Cows bred at Crovalley Farm have been sold to farms in Connecticut and British Columbia and continue to make their mark. One sold at an auction in Wisconsin to West Coast Holsteins in B.C. for $175,000. “When you can breed cows at that level and send them off to the best herds

in North America that’s rewarding,” says John. “You always hope that the new guy who buys them has success with them.” The Alberta conference is a big deal with local dairy farm tours around Calgary before heading off to Banff for Holstein Canada’s AGM and awards. It wraps up with the Master Breeder finalé Saturday night. “Once you get off the

plane you start to network,” says John. The award ceremony is impressive, he adds. “It’s quite an honour to stand there.” The whole family will be in Alberta for the celebration. “It’s a goal to strive towards but very difficult to reach,” adds Cynthia. “It’s a great incentive for breeders and producers to strive towards.”
