Council Piping good fun for Robbie Burns night self-governing, eliminates code of conduct

By Joyce Cassin

News - Brighton - There won’t be any rules to break, or integrity commissioner investigations during the new term of Brighton council after council voted 5 - 2 in a recorded vote to abolish the Council Code of Conduct Monday night. According to Councillor John Martinello, who put the motion forward, there was about $100,000 spent on investigations, and he hasn’t seen, “not one bit of improvement in council.� Several investigations were conducted into the behaviour of Martinello and Mayor Mark Walas, and one against Councillor Mary Tadman. Martinello said he ran on

the concept of ridding council of its rules, and is listening to people who told him to get rid of it. He said that council is governed by many acts, so there’s no need to have one that governs its behaviour. The council Code of Conduct was put in place prior to the last term of council, said chief administrative ofďŹ cer Gayle Frost when asked. She guestimated it’s been in place since 2009. Walas said council members were not asked to sign the code of conduct during the inauguration meeting because it was a contentious item and he wanted the meeting to go smoothly. The motion was to abolish The piping in of the haggis and the address to the haggis are a huge part of the tradition of Robbie Burns night at the Royal Canadian Legion Brighton Branch 100.

News - Colborne - The digitization of archival material at Colborne Public Library is boosting interest in local history, says the library’s CEO. In a presentation to Cramahe Township council, Mary Norton explained how the ongoing heritage digitization project the municipality helped fund is getting the word out around the world about the “incredible history of Cramahe.” The number of page views and online users accessing the library’s digital collection of photographs, records, letters, cards, feature essays and newspaper articles are “all on the increase,” said Norton, who’s “gung ho” about what the project is doing for the library. If council hadn’t contributed funds at key points to help pay for the trained specialists engaged in the project, “we wouldn’t be where we are now,” she said. An important development has been the decision of both elementary schools in Cramahe to add local history to their curriculum because of the online resources that are now available to their students at the library, <www.cramahelibrary.ca>. That was initiated by visits Norton and Lenna Broatch, a member of Heritage Cramahe, made to the schools last fall in connection with Remembrance Day. “Both schools have invited us back,” Norton said, “so it’s been well worth the money [spent on the project] because they’re linking into their local history.” The featured essays alone, which tell fascinating stories about Cramahe’s past and include comments people have made after reading them, are “really well worth the visit,” she said. Broatch said she gets “a lot of inqui-

ries about genealogy,” and with much of the historical material now accessible through the website, she’s getting back in touch with those who have made inquiries over the years and letting them know about the new resource the library is now offering. The library is also “getting a lot of response” from members of the public who are providing artefacts from home to be made part of the digital collection. In a later interview Norton said the library recently obtained a grant to hire a youth intern whose tasks will include making a YouTube video for the library’s home page to show visitors how to access its archives and other features. “It’s not the easiest site to navigate,” she said. Another “ambition” of the library is to include voice and possibly video of longtime local residents reminiscing about the past as another way to preserve local history. One interview has already been conducted. To date, the library has received close to $25,000 in federal funding to create its digital collection, as well as $25,500 from the Trillium Foundation. The money has been used to cover the costs of the two people employed parttime to complete the project, which can be “painstaking work,” she said. “All the effort that Nick Tinki and Sherry Brydon have put into it has really paid off.” The township has also been “very generous,” helping out twice with grants adding up to about $13,000, Norton said. The project also involves cataloguing and properly storing the archives, which continue to grow with contributions from the public.

Mom walks to Parliament Hill for autism

of Brighton council formally commit to when they are sworn in. It is also a clear statement of the roles and responsibilities of both council and senior management. It establishes a valuable reference point for council and staff as they fulfill their separate roles, and the fact that there is an agreed ‘rule book’ promotes community trust and confidence.” He added that if Martinello thinks the code is an issue, then perhaps council should revise it rather than throwing it out. “Councillor Martinello has also argued that “if anyone has a complaint, they can simply put it forth

is a basis for the complaint, a rule that has beenWe broken. In the absence are looking of a code there is only the Ontario Municipal Act, which deals with legal standards (not standards of behaviour) and the Procedural Bylaw which applies only during council meetings,” Cutler wrote. In a second recorded vote on the matter, the motion to abolish the code of conduct and terminate the agreement with the integrity commissioner was passed 5 - 2, with Ostrander and Vink opposed.

past. Asked to bring up a point from former councillor Dave Cutler, Martinello disputed each comment. “Regarding Councillor John Martinello’s motion under item 11.3 of the agenda for the Jan. 19 council meeting, I urge you to defeat his motion,” Cutler wrote. “Obviously terminating the services of an integrity commissioner makes good sense if the Ontario Ombudsman can do the job for free, but I believe the code of conduct should be retained.” He went on to say that “the code is a public declaration of the standards of behaviour that the members TICO#50007364

terminate the contract between the municipality and Amberley Gavel, the municipal integrity commissioner. Councillors Brian Ostrander and Laura Vink put a motion on the floor to divide the motion into two so they could deal with the matters separately. Ostrander said he heard a lot of concern with the cost of investigations, so he suggested the integrity commissioner role could be replaced by the Ontario Ombudsman, a free service, and that the code of conduct remain in place. The motion to divide was defeated 5 - 2 in a recorded vote. Ostrander spoke in favour of keeping the code when the original motion came back on the floor, saying it provides a level of protection to both staff and council. Explaining his feelings on the code, and breaking the code, Ostrander said, “I don’t blame the Highway Traffic Act if I get pulled over for speeding … or the traffic cop.” Councillor Mary Tadman said she feels the code of conduct is unfair and it costs money. “I live by a code,” she said. “You can’t buy integrity.” She added that the code of conduct doesn’t help. “The code of conduct is a promise to our constituents” for council to “act responsibly” and she would like to see it stay in place and put behind them. “We are putting it behind us by eliminating it,” Martinello said. He said it was wrongly applied in the

tervention,” she said. “The government knows it’s a crisis across Canada.” Approximately one in 88 people have autism, she said. The petition is available online at <www.walktoottawa.org> or Brighton residents can stop by the municipal office at 35 Alice Street or at L.B. Welding west of Brighton on County Road 2. “I am not just walking for my child, but for every child with ASD,” she said. She hopes to bring with her, one million signatures on her petition, when she “makes her mark” at Parliament Hill on January 29 at the end of her walk.

Yet Tim shows his support to his mom and brother in her efforts to raise awareness and convince the federal government to develop a pan-Canadian strategy for ASD, including awareness and educational campaigns, child, adolescent, and adult intervention, innovative funding arrangements for financing therapy, surveillance, respite care, community initiatives and research. Early diagnosis and treatment are key, and she believes parents of autistic children should not have to fight to see this is done. “I’m fighting for early in-

registry. “My child deserves the same opportunity as every other Canadian, and so I continue to push,” Dee said. She is walking to Ottawa from her Etobicoke home for her son, Jacob, and all children and families struggling with autism. “Our children are the most precious resource of our country. We have to ensure that every child is able to reach their full potential. We need change for our children with autism,” Dee said. She said having a child with autism has tremendous emotional and financial pressures on families. Tim says it’s been tough living with a brother who has autism. “He’s been kicked out of 13 different schools because they can’t deal with Jacob,” he said. “He needs special people to look after him.” Tim said that having a child with autism in the family has cost his mom her job because she’d been called to the school when Jacob had

One of her supporters is MP Kirsty Duncan, who visited with Dee in her home last year, and who plans to present the petition in Parliament once Dee arrives in Ottawa on January 29. She also has the support of Senator Jim Munson, who has listened to her story and agreed to help, she said. Dee, who is accompanied by her son Tim, also have financial support from Gananoque MP Gord Brown, who is footing the bill for their hotel stays along the way. Police have provided escorts, and Mary Beth Plumpton, of Belleville, whom she met on Facebook, has been bringing meals to the duo as she walks her way across the province. “Everyone has been so supportive,” she said. “It’s incredible.” Part of her plan to raise awareness is to have agencies identify people with ASD, such as a police autism

LETTERS LIFESTYLES TO THE EDITOR

Thanks for supporting our bottle drive Harper government subsidizes the wrong people

Dear Editor, When mailing a letter recently at my local post ofďŹ ce, I noticed a man sending two large packages, something more commonly seen at Christmas time. When asked if they were being shipped to northern Canada, I guessed correctly. Like my socially responsible friend in town, he too had received information from a Facebook group called Helping Our Northern Neighbours, which donates food and other necessities directly to people in northern communities, and done at their own effort and expense. Because the cost of food, etc., in northern regions of the country is prohibitive, the federal government provides subsidies. But private retail companies were awarded the subsidies by the Harper government and NOT the folks, some of whom look for food in garbage sites. Cold comfort this! While it’s obvious subsidies should be given to the consumers who pay very high prices, the bias the Harper Conservatives have toward corporate privatization seems unfair and cruel. Tom Coulter, Campbellford

Dear Editor On behalf of the Royal Canadian Army Cadets Corps 100 of Brighton, I would like to take this opportunity to extend our thanks to the community for our very successful bottle drive held on January 3, 2015. We raised $1,437 that day and this money will go toward our White Water Rafting expedition planned for the spring of 2016. We would like to thank John Campbell and the Brighton Independent for the lovely article that was in the paper, as well as

the continued coverage the paper gives us on a regular basis. The article resulted in a huge response from the public and we were able to make speciďŹ c pickups to people who are not able to get to the Beer Store to turn in their bottles. We appreciate the coverage you give us in all of our endeavours. We would like to thank the employees of the Beer Store not only in Brighton but in Trenton as well. We kept the Beer Store busy all week with vehicle loads of bottles but on Saturday they

out-did themselves. We ďŹ lled their warehouse to the brim and then Trenton agreed to take the overload. Everyone was gracious and supportive and we appreciate their efforts. We would like to thank our sponsor, the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 100 for allowing us to use their facility as our headquarters that day. The Legion is very supportive of our cadet program and we wouldn’t be where we are today without them. Mostly, we would like to thank the residents of Brighton and the

outlying region. Your support that day was tremendous. We are sorry we could not get to everyone because the weather got really bad plus we had no more places to take the bottles. However, if you still would like to donate your bottles to our cause, we continue to fundraise to take cadets to France in 2017. Please feel free to call 613-849-0721 and we will send someone over to collect your bottles and pop cans. Sincerely, Robin Brooks, Brighton

Dear Editor, The Brighton DBIA would like to clear up Mayor Walas’ confusion re: his comment in the January 1, Brighton Independent. “I am somewhat confused with how the DBIA would be in support of providing subsidized retail and ofďŹ ce space within the community in direct competition with themselves. There’s a piece of the puzzle perhaps I’m missing.â€? The DBIAis in support of the concept of the BCTC being taken to the next

level, that being a feasibility study. As for “subsidized retail,� the only retail that was proposed for the BCTC was a cafe. The incubators were for entrepreneurs to be able to test market their products like skateboards, food, clothing, jewellery etc., before they take themselves to a manufacturing level. These would be prime candidates for the expansion of Brighton’s Industrial Park. The Brighton community as a whole, has so much to offer entrepreneurs through

mentoring. A Brighton example of this would be Lori Boychuk of Mrs. B’s Country Candy. She started with a vision and now has ourished into what she is today; retail in the downtown core as well as manufacturing in the industrial park, supplying 20 plus retailers. The ofďŹ ce space would be perfect for the professional businesses which require ofďŹ ce space two to ďŹ ve days a month in our town, such as ďŹ nancial, medical and the legal profession.

The DBIA businesses were looking forward to a meeting space where they would be able to hold workshops. Imagine what a positive, energetic, vibrant atmosphere a library, a cafe, incubators, ofďŹ ce space and meeting facilities would generate under one roof, as the BCTC, that would welcome visitors to our town. What a huge complement to all businesses in Brighton.

PUBLIC NOTICE BRIGHTON POLICE SERVICES BOARD

Dear Editor, Our federal government is launching a “tough on crimeâ€? program while not revealing its cost or lack of beneďŹ ts. It costs $140,000 per year to keep an inmate in jail. It costs a staggering $250,000 per cell to build a minimum security jail. In the United States, this approach to crime bankrupted the

state of California. Texas was planning to build three more correctional facilities but after they did the math, they closed three jails. States such as Kentucky, which has the highest incarceration rate, ďŹ nd that by releasing prisoners early, the saved money could be spent on programs to reintroduce these people to society.

the tough on crime approach is that it does not work. When Canada was soft on crime and the United States pursued a vigorous policy of locking people up, the crime rates of both countries fell at the same rate. The real approach to crime must be changing the conditions that foster crime. Poverty elimination, lack of housing, social programs proven to work, often take years to show results but do result in dramatic reductions in crime. For every dollar spent on early childhood education, seven dollars are saved as a result. Only by spending on our future, can we hope to truly reduce crime. Our politicians must look beyond the next four years. The money is there; it must be allocated more intelligently. Janice Gannon, Stirling

OPINION

Three months a year

Editorial - Everybody knows where the population explosion came from. Two centuries ago, birth rates and death rates were high everywhere, and population growth was very slow. Then clean water, good food and antibiotics radically cut the death rate—and the huGwynne Dyer man population of this planet increased 300 per cent in the past 90 years. Eventually, as people moved into the cities and big families were no longer an advantage, the birth rate dropped too. The world’s population is still growing, but it will only increase by 50 per cent in the next 90 years. So far, so obvious. But what’s happening to the human lifespan is equally dramatic. Here’s the key statistic: the average human lifespan in a developed country has been increasing at three months per year ever since the year 1840. Everybody assumes that lifespan grew much faster in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and is growing much slower now. But no. It has plodded along at the same rate, adding about three months to people’s life spans every year, for the past 175 years. And yes, that does mean that a baby born four years from now can expect to live, on average, a whole year longer than a baby born this year. There have always been some people who lived to seventy or eighty, but the average age at death in 1840 was only forty years. By the year 2000 it was eighty years. That’s forty more years of life per person in 160 years. And lifespan is still rising at the same rate. In Britain, for example, the average lifespan has increased by eleven more years in the past fortyfour years. Three months per year, just like in the 19th century. This is why actuaries predict that babies born in the year 2000 will have an average lifespan of one hundred years. Give those babies the eighty years of life that people who died in 2000 enjoyed, then give them an extra three months for every one of those eighty years—and they will have twenty years more years to live. That is, an average of a hundred years. This sounds so outlandish that you instinctively feel there must be something wrong with it, and maybe there is. The fact it has gone on like this for 175 years doesn’t necessarily mean that it will go on

forever. But it’s not stopping or even slowing, so the smart money says that it will continue for quite a while yet What about the developing world? Most of it has been playing catch-up, and by now the gap isn’t very big any more. In China the average lifespan was only forty-two years as recently as 1950, but then it began increasing by six months per year, so that the average Chinese citizen can now expect to live to seventy-five. Once you hit an average lifespan of seventy-five years, however, the pace slows down to three months per year, the same as in the developed countries. India is a little behind China: average lifespan was still forty-two years in 1960, and is now sixty-eight, so it’s still going up at six months per year. But we may expect to see it fall to the normal three months per year in about 2030, after the average Indian lifespan reaches seventy-five. All the developing countries of Asia, Latin America and the Middle East are in the same zone. The sole exception is Africa: where 35 countries have average life spans of 63 years or lower. But even most African countries are seeing a slow growth in average lifespan. So do we end up with a huge population of people so old they can barely hold their heads up, let alone eat solid food? Probably not. Three hundred years ago Jonathan Swift wrote about people like that in his satire Gulliver’s Travels. Struldbrugs, he called them: people who could not die, but went on ageing until they were so decrepit and disabled that death would have been a mercy. They were declared legally dead when they reached eighty, as otherwise their longevity would mean they ended up owning everything. But they weren’t really dead; now it was the public that had to support them for the rest of their interminable lives. In real life, crippling diseases and disabilities are still mainly a phenomenon of the last decade of life, and as the lifespan lengthens that final decade also moves. Demographers now talk about the “young old,” who are in their 70s and 80s and still in reasonably good shape—and the “old old,” in their 90s and 100s, who are mostly frail and in need of care. So the time is probably coming when people must work until into their 80s, because the over-65s will amount to a third of the population. No society can afford to support so many. But by then people won’t be decrepit in their 80s. And the only alternative is dying younger.

Science relentless in pointing out mankind’s march toward self-destruction By John Campbell

Editorial - Humanity is slowly but surely signing its own death warrant. Oh no, not another piece on climate change! Not entirely. Yes, it has to do with what’s happening on the planet but it’s not just about the damage being done to the environment. How can it be just about that in the wake of what took place in Paris. People shot down in cold blood because their killers were outraged by how their religion had been disrespected. Freedom of expression has its limits but it is not for the offended, however much aggrieved, to punish those who cross the line with racist cartoons and screeds. That there is a long history of virulent hatred giving rise to savagery is reason enough to be pessimistic about what kind of fate awaits future generations. The brutal acts of terrorists are all but certain to grow in number and in consequence, and the “clash of civilizations” they are determined to set in motion seems destined to become a reality. But, as devastating as these conflicts are bound to be, with attendant great loss of life, they cannot match in magnitude the harm humankind is doing to Earth. Just as we are depriving other species of a home by destroying their habitat, we’re doing the very same thing to ourselves. Still not convinced after all these years that human activity is responsible for climatic changes that are to our detriment? Think again. More data was brought forward by scientists last week that point to that conclusion. According to NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 2014 was the hottest on Earth since 1880, when records started being kept of global temperatures. “It is exceptionally unlikely that we would be witnessing a record year of warmth, during a record-warm decade, during a several decadeslong period of warmth that appears to be unrivalled for more than a thousand years, were it not for the rising levels of planet-warming gases produced by the burning of fossil fuels,” Michael E. Mann, a climate scientist at the Pennsylvania State University, told the New York Times. This is not good news, as you can imagine, if you haven’t already read the reams of articles that have been written forecasting dire consequences

for billions of people occupying a planet that’s steadily heating up. The other bad news to come out last week was a report published in the journal Science warning mankind is pushing to the brink of extinction fish and animals living in the oceans. The article identified a number of factors: over harvesting, destruction of habitat, undersea mining, and, oh yes, climate change. Again, the hope was held out that the changes could be reversed–if humanity were to commit to begin addressing them now, a tall order for a species notoriously stubborn in its ways. “If by the end of the century we’re not off the business-as-usual curve we are now, I honestly feel there’s not much hope for normal ecosystems in the ocean,” Stanford University’s Stephen Palumbi, who co-authored the study, told the Times. “But in the meantime, we do have a chance to do what we can. We have a couple [of] decades more than we thought we had, so let’s please not waste it.” Then there’s this: five trillion small bits of plastic are said to be floating around in various garbage patches, weighing an estimated 250,400 tonnes in total, according to a third study, released last month. Yet another example, in a continuing stream, of the sorry impact man is having on the world, whether it’s polluting oceans, contaminating drinking water, clear cutting forests, or gouging the earth. This country shares in the blame for the continuing desolation of the planet. It still has a long way to go if it hopes to cut greenhouse gases 17 per cent below 2005 levels by 2020, Environment Canada reported in December. Talks to finalize the next international climate accord are to take place the end of this year. How many more studies will it take to stiffen Canada’s resolve to live up to its commitments and, so doing, help humanity go down a different path? It would be wonderful if the same old predictions of disaster found in endless studies and editorials were to be replaced with accounts of bold, courageous actions being taken by governments around the world determined to be good stewards of the Earth. Then and only then will humanity be able to crumple up its death warrant.

Brighton Independent - Thursday, January 22, 2015 7

News - Brighton - For the second time in about a month, council heard pleas from numerous people, yet the majority voted against their wishes. Mac’s Convenience submitted a proposal for a convenience store with restaurant, gas bar and an outdoor patio to be located partially on the vacant property at Elizabeth and Prince Edward Streets, and partially where the

McQuoid and Morrow buildings now stand. Ten people spoke against the proposal during a rather lengthy public meeting held Monday night. A petition was also presented with 657 signatures on it. When it came to a vote, council voted 4 - 3 in favour of the proposal, with only Councillors Laura Vink, Brian Ostrander, and Steve Baker opposed.

Last month it was the Brighton Creative Trade Centre (BCTC), with 14 of 15 presenters asking council to form an advisory committee to determine the feasibility of the project, but the pleas landed on deaf ears as council voted to put an end to that project. The Mac’s proposal was not recommended by the municipal planner as it went against the downtown core area zoning, and a traffic impact study

Area manager Maureen Corrigan, left, said Turner, centre, must have heard the desperation in their voices when they contacted him to help out on the campaign in past. Turner not only became his area captain, but took on the responsibility of four more areas, then found captains for them as well.

tions in the areas have already closed, and with the large facility at No Frills, and another proposed for the 401, this one may not be in use for more than a few years, and then we’ll be back where we were when the previous Esso on that site closed.” Steve White, co-owner of the buildings located just north of the two proposed for demolition, says he doesn’t want his tenants living a mere 15 to 20 metres from gas pumps, and one of his tenants spoke up to agree. According to Mac’s representative Ruth Ferguson Aulthouse, there’s a family of chimney swifts living in the chimney at 27 Prince Edward Street. Mac’s incorporated the chimney into the design as the birds are on the endangered list. Baker said there is no guarantee that when the building is demolished, the birds would remain. Mayor Mark Walas says he welcomes the investment in Brighton and justified voting in favour of the project. “We have a community here of approximately 11,000 people, and we had possibly, I’m guessing, 50 to 70 people out here tonight, that expressed their opposition to the project going forward,” Walas said. “I certainly respect all of the comments, but we’ve been without a gas station on that corner for approximately ten years.” He added that there’s now an opportunity to address safety concerns at the intersections in the immediate vicinity. “It’s not a perfect world, and we’re never going to satisfy everybody, but I believe, at the end of the day, threeand-a-half million dollars in Brighton is a good thing,” Walas said. Hurford recommended denying the proposal, and in an interview at the end of the vote, he said he got the sense that some people may be seriously considering filing an appeal. In fact, he said a group of people approached him about how to go about filing an appeal against the council decision. It’s $125 per appeal, and forms that have to be filled out. The appeal period is 20 days. Asked if he would testify against council if subpoenaed, Hurford said it’s very possible, and that he would have to uphold his recommendation to deny the rezoning proposal. Walas said that with all due respect to staff, the investment far overshadowed some of the traffic concerns he feels can be addressed.

resulted in a conclusion that a gas bar would not be a good fit. “Traffic concerns are not satisfied … and vehicle-geared use is not appropriate,” said planner Ken Hurford. He added that a convenience store is a permitted use, but not a gas bar. Speaking for the owner/operator of the Pump, the gas bar located across the street, Bill Graham said the owner is concerned a new gas bar would put his station out of business because gas sales are already marginal. This would entail a loss of six jobs. Resident David Green agreed, saying that with the proposed addition of a gas station at the 401, and the fact the gas station at County Roads 30 and 26 is closed, there just wouldn’t be enough business for a 24-hour gas bar and convenience store. Traffic issues resulted in Mac’s changing its proposal to have fuel trucks enter the station from Elizabeth Street from the east. “How will it get there?” he asked. “Will it come down Alice Street? Terry Fox Drive? Or will it come from Wooler Road?” And when the truck exits to the north, he said it could likely block three lanes of traffic if the light turns red. Green said there would be no net gain on jobs as the Mac’s store would simply move from its existing location to this one, and bring its staff with it. Where there would be a loss is jobs at the businesses in the buildings slated for demolition. He suggested a better use for the property would be the future home of the BCTC … or the new library. This was met with loud applause, as were many of the following presenter comments. Green closed his remarks with a comment to the council members who previously stated publicly that they were in support of the proposal. I’m concerned when council members admit support for the proposal before hearing from the public, he said. Gordon Tobey spoke up as well, saying just because there was a gas station there before doesn’t justify putting another one there. “This is a signature location and requires a signature building,” he said. “There will continue to be reduced consumption of gasoline as vehicles become more and more efficient, and as we switch to other forms of powering our vehicles,” he said. “Gasoline sta-

Lots of interest in downtown revitalization

News - Brighton - There appears to be a lot of interest in what Brighton’s downtown is going to look like, if the turnout at the revitalization launch on Sunday, January 18, is anything to go by. It was a full house as residents and some members of council came out to see what was in store for the downtown ‌ and some were surprised to find out that the vision for the downtown was to come from them. The committee has been working hard with Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) representative Heather Candler coming up with a vision, preparing surveys and setting the stage for the future. The area being looked at stretches from Ontario Street to the empty field just east of No Frills, down to Chapel Street and up to Sanford, encompassing some residential buildings north and south of County

Road 2. “We work with rural communities [across Ontario] on projects such as this,â€? Candler said. She said it’s a powerful program that’s been taking place over the last seven years. “Over 60 communities have gone through this process,â€? Candler said, a program based on Main Street, USA. And it’s not all about benches and façades. It’s a focus on events and activities, and economic development ideas to strengthen Brighton. The four-pronged approach focusses on economic development, leadership and management, marketing and promotions, and physical improvements. “Economic development comes where there is leadership in the community, and this process certainly demonstrates leadership on behalf of the volunteers,â€? Candler said. “There’s municipal involve-

ment with members of council, and we’re really looking for leadership to come from the community as well.� She said that through community input, you’ll be telling the committee your concerns. Key is affordability, and Candler said this program is aimed at being affordable to small rural communities, and 50 per cent of the cost is funded through OMAFRA. And it’s volunteer-driven, so that keeps the costs down as well. Revitalizing the downtown would benefit local residents and create more employment opportunities, all the while making use of existing infrastructure, she said. The entire project could take years. The first phase, or mobilization period is expected to take up to three years, with overall evolution reaching nine years or more. Downtown revitalization coordinator Laurie Caouette said they want to get this going, and asked for

Funding in place for restoration of cenotaphs By John Campbell

News - Colborne - Tenders will soon be called to restore the two World War cenotaphs in Victoria Square. Restoration committee chair Pat Westrope and secretary Lenna Broatch reported on the progress that has been made to fund the project to Cramahe Township council last week and they secured its promise to extend bridge financing to get the work done. Westrope said the committee has raised $12,500 in donations and an equal amount in in-kind donations, and application was made last October to Veterans Affairs Canada to provide matching funds, to a maximum of $25,000. Approval has been granted but no official announcement has been made as to the amount. Westrope said the money from the federal depart-

ment will not be made available until the work is completed. “Because we’re using local contractors we would prefer to pay them rather than leave them waiting until the money comes in,� she said, in explaining the committee’s request for bridge financing. She estimated the work could probably be done in 30 days, “if we get co-operation from the weather,� and it would not begin until after the Apple Blossom Tyme Festival was held in May. It also wouldn’t affect the Music in the Square program which is staged at the other end of Victoria Square, she added. The cenotaph restoration committee also plans to install engraved granite soldier stones around the two

some “Quick Winâ€? ideas that could be dealt with immediately. The plan to revitalize the downtown came about in the 2012 community development plan to attract new business and sustain and grow existing business, which in turn creates jobs, and increases tourism. To do this, a long-term plan has to be formed to look at infrastructure improvements, physical design enhancements, and marketing, Caouette said. The first step was when she was hired to co-ordinate the project in July 2014. Since then the committee was formed in October where they did the visioning exercise and defined the study area. Now they’re ready to launch the business and resident surveys, with a report being presented in May, before hosting a community design workshop this spring. Resident surveys are available online at <www.brighton.ca>, or paper copies can be picked up at the municipal office, the Chamber of Commerce, the Dragonfly, and the Robbins Nest. â€œI’m here to listen and we want to know what you want,â€? Caouette said. This is an opportunity for residents to have their voices heard, to provide input into what you want to see in your downtown, she said. And those who fill out the survey can win a basket filled with merchandise from your local businesses. “We want to hear from you,â€? Caouette said.

MPP Lou Rinaldi said Brighton needs to take part in the downtown revitalization program because “you’re competing with every downtown in the province.� Rinaldi attended Brighton’s launch of the program on Sunday, January 18.

Take some time out for tea

News - Brighton - Members of the Time-Out Tea Time Ladies Fellowship group have lots of fun, and it’s free, says facilitator/co-ordinator Jean Finkle, who hosts the group the third Monday of every month beginning at 10 a.m. at Trinity St. Andrews United Church Hall. Even though the meetings are held in the church hall, it’s not a church-related group, Finkle says. “Women from all walks of life are invited to come out and learn something and just have fun,” she says. Women travel from Prince Edward County, Belleville and Cobourg to take part.

She started a group several years ago in Carleton Place, then another in Belleville, and four years ago she brought the concept to Brighton, and it’s been going very well, she says. “We’re so blessed,” she says, adding that they never seem to have a shortage of speakers who appear for free, and the church provides them with the hall free of charge and even supplies coffee and tea and other refreshments. “Women do so much for others that there’s a need for them to rejuvenate, so we’re here to enrich women’s lives.” To kick off 2015, the group met to chat and share upcoming events

before taking part in a drumming class. “We wanted to kick off the New Year with ‘The Beat Goes On’ with Dawne Brown.” Each meeting is a little different with a new theme, be it a master gardener, massage therapy, service dogs, how to prevent being scammed and other hobbies and activities. Finkle says there can be anywhere from 15 to 60 people at meetings, depending on the guest speaker, weather, etc., but they always have fun. The highlight of the year is the fashion show that is in its fourth year. The show that raised about

$3,000 last year, takes place on April 18, with all funds going to the church. “It’s a fabulous show that we put on with The Dragonfly and G. Boyd Boutique.” Karen Stinson from Habitat for Humanity will be the guest speaker in February, and Lianne Snow, the recycle queen, will show you how to transform that junk into a real jewel. Everyone is welcome to the Time-Out Tea Time Ladies Fellowship. “Bring a friend … she’ll be glad you did.”

News - Brighton - The Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society has two major events planned for this year—a fundraising gala in June and a festival in July celebrating the lighthouse’s 175th anniversary—but the most important date on its calendar could be when it decides how to preserve the limestone structure. An engineering study done last fall came up with two options. One involves replacing all the wood shingles that cover the tower and repairing and restoring the stone and cement work around the base. The alternative is to remove the wood cladding and expose the original stone, which would need to be reinforced with stainless steel rod as well as repointed and resurfaced. In both cases, work would be done on the windows, with some that have been shut needing to be re-opened, and provision made for

installing a new lamp house, or cupola, with a working light. Asked for an update on the organization’s plans, director Dave Sharp said in an email no decision has been made as the board is “still investigating” the pros and cons of each option and “there are many technical issues to be resolved.” Sharp said “there can be a huge variance in the costs” because of the different scenarios being studied, noting other lighthouses have been protected at a cost of anywhere from $500,000 to $3 million. At minimum, “the process will probably require the removal of the existing shingles,” which could lead to the discovery of “more stress cracks around the windows or … that the structure is as strong as what we believe it is. So, yes indeed, these estimates are definitely presenting a challenge.” Sharp said the board is looking to learn more about what the work

could entail by getting in touch with key people who have been involved in the restoration of other lighthouses such as Point Pelee or Point Clarke. After receiving the engineering study prepared by heritage preservation consultant Andre Scheinman and restoration engineer John Silburn last November, the board went “one step further” to increase its understanding of the report by having it reviewed by PJ Consultants Ltd., who also provide services for the restoration and preservation of masonry structures. There were “differences of opinions on technical matters,” but also agreement on “many issues,” the preservation society said in a newsletter last month. The board is trying to “structure” its plans to remain within parameters set by heritage guidelines, Sharp said, adding: “We are hoping to make a decision later this spring.”

Trent Port Marina progressing despite frigid temperatures By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - The temperatures may have plummeted but work at the Trent Port Marina is heating up. “As of the ďŹ rst week in January, the underground site utilities and road base have been constructed, the building steel frame components are in place and the building sub-pad with service installation have been completed,â€? said Brian Jardine, director of Planning and Development Services. He noted that the tender for the project went to Aveiro Constructors on October 8, 2014 at a contract price of $3.1 million. “The contract is being managed by the city’s facilities manager with the assistance of a privately hired construction manager hired by the city,â€? Jardine added. The dates the Environmental Assessment approval was given and the necessity for the dredging components to be off site before building construction began have meant that the building and site works have been pushed to a win-

ter build period, in order to meet the marina opening deadline of May 2015. As soon as the concrete oor pad is ďŹ nished, wood construction can begin and the structure closed in for internal construction. “The city’s project manager and construction managers meet weekly and discuss issues daily, in order to manage progress around the winter weather events,â€? Jardine added. Completion of the internal roadway and parking as well as site landscaping will commence in the spring as temperatures and conditions allow. “The most sensitive portion of the marina development, from an environmental approvals standpoint was the dredging operation and shoreline construction,â€? Jardine said. “This work was limited to a tight construction period running July to September to avoid ďŹ sh spawning periods.“ Following a competitive tender process the contract was awarded to Catalina Excavating at a total

price of $2.6 million. Dredging and shoreline design was undertaken by Shoreplan Engineering. Dredging began as soon as required agency permits were in place and over 25,000 cubic metres of material was removed by the end of September. “As part of the contract, the entire shoreline underwent reconstruction and realignment including the placement of graded rock, turtle nesting area, underwater ďŹ sh habitat and steel sheet wall in front of city hall,â€? Jardine said. This work was completed in October and the equipment removed for the site infrastructure building. In the spring of 2015 Catalina will return to complete the concrete capping work along the top of the steel sheet wall and place concrete pads to accommodate the landward end of the docks. The overall project budget was set by council at $12 million. The province of Ontario announced partial funding of $4 million in May, 2011, to be implemented over a three-year period.

The third construction element of the project is the docks and breakwater which will be constructed off site and installed in 2015. This would provide a total of 384 slips of varying lengths divided between two marina basins, north and south. The construction focus for the target opening in May is to have the breakwater structures and the docks in the south basin constructed and installed for the 2015 boating season. This will provide 212 boating slips, all served by water and electrical services. In order to keep the project within the $12-million-budget ceiling as approved by council, the contract also covers the construction of a portion of the north basin, including the primary dock and boating dock (A3) with 62 slips in 2016. This will provide a total of 274 boat slips for use by 2016. “The current overall budget of $12 million does not permit the installation

of docks A1 [56 slips] and A2 further discussion from council [54 slips] at this time,� Jardine based on the successful slip added. “This will be subject to purchases in 2015.�

The contest is open to young people in Ontario between the ages of 18 and 29 years, or students enrolled in college or university. People must register prior to January 26 by visiting the Wouldurather website <www. wouldurather.ca>. All contestants must register with a “buddyâ€? and will receive motivational emails throughout the six-week contest period. Free nicotine patches and gum are also available to eligible contestants. “Relying on a quit-smoking buddy, while also having access to nicotine patches and gum, can greatly improve your chances of success,â€? noted Robertson. There is also plenty of exibility for people wanting to enter the Wouldurather contest, she explained. The contest gives people four different categories to enter, including: Quit For Good: Regular smokers pledge to quit

News - Trent Hills - The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit is promoting a new six-week, quit-smoking contest that begins on January 26. The “Wouldurather� contest challenges young adults in their late teens and twenties to give up tobacco use for a chance to win up to $2,500 in prizes. The contest is organized by Leave the Pack Behind, a youth-focused tobacco control initiative funded by the Ontario government. “If you are looking for a reason to give up tobacco, the Wouldurather contest is a great way to motivate yourself,� said Jennifer Robertson, a Public Health Nurse with the health unit. “Wouldurather offers a cash incentive to quit, but also provides plenty of support to help you stay tobacco-free for the six-week duration of the contest,� she added.

Three-on-Three basketball to raise funds for Strong Kids Sports - Quinte West - A Three-onThree basketball tournament for youth and adults on March 6 and 7 at the YMCA will help raise funds for the Strong Kids Campaign. “We made the fees affordable,â€? said YMCA general manager Ron Riddell. “It’s only $40 for a youth team and $50 for over 18. All the money goes to Strong Kids.â€? Riddell said Three-on-Three is a popular basketball game and can be held in half the space of a regular ďŹ veon-ďŹ ve game. There are separate categories in youth for male and female teams, but the open category over 18 is for both genders. “We will have the gym divided into two sections,â€? he said. “There will be basketball playing on both sides. You can stand in the middle and watch!â€? Riddell said sponsors J.B. Print

Solutions, Copy Centre, the Centre Theatre and Pepsico have helped subsidize the tournament. Organizers Carl Bonitto, Garnett Reynolds and Brad Warner are hoping for a good turnout. “It’s a lot of fun,â€? added Duncan Armstrong, chair of the Strong Kids campaign. “It’s street ball.â€? Youth start on Friday, March 6, at 6 p.m. with teams from the ages of 14 to 17 competing in 25-minute games. The ďŹ nal four teams will compete on Saturday. Adults and youth can also sign up for the open tournament on Saturday. “There will be prizes and a trophy,â€? said Riddell. He added there is a regular Wednesday night group at the YMCA that play Three-on-Three basketball. Duncan Armstrong feels there is deďŹ nitely a need in the local sports

LIFESTYLES

The Good Earth: By Dan Clost

Lifestyles - Unlike the intense debate concerning a tree’s vitality, as discussed in last week’s column, the demise or the impending ending of a shrub doesn’t raise quite the same amount of dander; unless, of course, you’ve lined your entire five-acre estate with a boxwood hedge. An aside on boxwood: recently I saw some topiary pieces and large specimen conical boxwoods carefully wrapped for winter protection. In the same estate, I saw a boxwood hedge along the property line completely unprotected. This illustrates an interesting aspect of the decision making process of some homeowners. A clipped-cone boxwood several feet tall might retail for $300 while the eight-inch tall, twogallon boxwood might be priced at $20. The expensive one gets wrapped and the less costly one is left to handle winter’s challenges unprotected, even though both plants have the same needs. (I rush to clarify that I don’t

When is a shrub dead?

mean any Gentle Reader as you all understand that gardening has nothing to do with money.) Shrubs will die if they want to. Shrubs will die if you don’t want them to. Some shrubs, however, are members of the Hydra family and not only do they not die when you want them to, they actually increase in numbers when challenged, think grey dogwood or European buckthorn. Our desire, as gardeners, is to have shrubs that don’t die so that the money saved by not replacing them can be used to purchase even more shrubs. Another reason for calmer dead shrub arguments is that replacement costs are much cheaper in both money and time. When purchasing shrubs you can select from multiple sizes depending upon budget and how long you expect to be on that property. If one in a grouping dies, you can purchase its replacement at the same size as its new mates. So money is lost but time and esthetics

are not. Another reason for less tension is that planting is usually done by the homeowner, which means there is a oneto-one connection between vendor and purchaser. If your plant sheds its mortal coil to join the spirit world of compost, you can talk directly to the seller. With trees there is often a third, intermediary party, which can muddle up the conversation rather spectacularly. Almost every garden centre and nursery of which I am aware offers a minimal warranty of one year and many have extended beyond that. Yes, there is a mark-up to cover that cost which varies from site to site. As with any purchase, you should do your research before buying. There are many types of warranties being offered and they each have their own merit. Strong arguments can and will be made by various vendors supporting the rationale behind their warranty. I like a three-year warranty for the

infested with cedar bagworm in the second year, then, given their one-year life cycle, I would not be compensated. By the way, there is a form of “extended” warranty available if your store deals with a Quebec-based company, Premier Tech Biotechnologies, which makes Myke. Myke is a supplement composed of mycorrhizae (fungi that grow symbiotically around the roots of a plant; there are many types of mycorrhiza that are specific to different plants) that undeniably enhances plant health and tolerance to stress. I am a firm believer in this product and look forward to the days when all plant sellers offer it. For you, Gentle Reader, the good news is that most garden centres will cheerfully replace a “dead” shrub and they will take time to discuss how to prevent a recurrence. Mind you, if you show up in early May with a butterfly bush or a Rose of Sharon, you will likely be asked to take it home and replant it.

following anecdotal reason. (Meaning this is what I believe given my experience but there is no scientific data to back me up.) The first year of coverage takes care of a weak or diseased plant, the second year relates to care and climate, and the third year is associated with the surrounding soil. A good vendor will have discussed all of this with you at the time of purchase. I don’t expect to be covered for rodent damage or lawn mower damage. If an insect or disease presents itself before a reasonable life cycle has passed, then I would expect to be covered. For example, if I see a black, crusty swelling indicating black knot on my flowering almond shrub that I had planted in the spring of that same year, then I should be able to claim damages. This visible form of the infestation takes two years to develop to that state, which means the tree was infected prior to my purchase. If I have used dwarf white cedar shrubs, e.g. Little Giant, and they are

We all want to love the house we live in. However it is not uncommon for Buyers to fall in love with a house before it has been purchased. As I advise my Buyers before we start looking for a home, try to avoid love at first sight; doing so before buying may lead to mistakes (not doing a home inspection), overlooking negative aspects , losing perspective when comparing it to other houses, distracting you from your original goal and even decreasing the negotiating capacity of your Realtor.

The process of buying a home has more of an emotional component than reselling it does. At the end of the day the Buyer is looking not only for the right town, neighbourhood and features that a home offers but also for that personal feeling that it is the right house for his/her own needs and wants.

Lou Rinaldi talks about cuts at TMH

Photo: Kate Everson

By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - MPP Lou Rinaldi was not the most popular person in the room at council Monday night when he talked about cuts at Trenton Memorial Hospital (TMH). The councillors were fighting mad and wanted answers. Lou had none to give. “Trenton is my family hospital too,” Rinaldi said. “We have been through this a number of times. The hospital has been cut to the bone. We can’t do it any more.” Rinaldi said he was meeting with Quinte Health Care (QHC) CEO Mary Clare Egberts on Thursday morning and hoped to get some

answers. “Things are very vague and murky,” he said. Rinaldi noted that the number of QHC employees on the Sunshine List (making over $100,000 a year) has jumped from six in 2008 to 58 in 2013. “The CEO makes 40 per cent more than the premier of Ontario,” he said. He said the province has increased its funding to QHC by 44 per cent over the last ten years. Since 2003 QHC has received $43 million more. He also noted that no one from Quinte West is on the healthcare board. “Our goal is to make sure

but along with education, has actually seen modest increases in funding across the province. Michael Kotsovos said, “Doom and gloom doesn’t do any good. Belleville cannot absorb about 30,000 patients from TMH. Trenton and Brighton need the hospital here.” Rinaldi said they need to find a way to make sure Quinte West is not treated differently. “How to do it, I don’t know,” he admitted. “We need to make sure we get the services we deserve.” Doug Whitney asked how much healthcare has been cut. Rinaldi said there has been a cost of living increase of two or three per cent. He added that we have created a society dependent on the hospital as a catch-all. If you get a sore finger you run to the hospital. We need to try to treat people at home. Doug Whitney said he heard there will Councillor Sally Freeman wants to keep Trenton Memorial Hospital viable. be $30 million in cuts over the next ten Photo: Kate Everson years for QHC, but there has been no clarification. “Nobody wants Trenton hospital saved more than me,” he said. “I was the 13th baby born in that hospital. It’s part of the community, a godsend. We have to have it.” Deputy-mayor Jim Alyea said the “Fireplace Showroom” details are pretty murky. They talked to Mary Clare Egberts and they still don’t know. There will be $12 million cut next in your Home Comfort Since 1995 year, but don’t know if it be spread out among all four hospitals or just one or two. “The hospital has been cannibalized as it is,” he said. “Part of it is not even being used.” He said they can’t touch Bancroft hospital because it is so far out. They are building another hospital in Picton. And Heating & Air Conditioning Belleville is the Taj Mahal, as [former CEO] Bruce Laughton said. LASTS AND LASTS AND LASTS ✓ Furnaces ✓ Air Conditioners “He said it was the centre of healthcare ✓ Heat Recovery Ventilators ✓ Fireplaces for the area,” he said. “We have to stay “WE DO IT ALL” vigilant.

MPP Lou Rinaldi talks to Quinte West council about healthcare.

the communities are represented,” he said. “We want it to be fair and balanced. But I have no magic wand.” He said the LHIN is waiting for the same answers. Queen’s Park is watching the situation carefully. He did not want to speculate or fear monger but was willing to take on the challenge. Karen Sharpe asked about the time frame of when they would get some facts. Rinaldi said he did not know. Keith Reid asked if the Sunshine list compared with other hospitals. Rinaldi said he did not know. Al DeWitt said the board is made up of local businessmen but there are no mayors of local communities on the board. He said we have proven business people here who should be on the board. “We are not being represented,” he said. “We just have to sit and wait while they shovel dirt on us.” He said the city built its hospital and should have a say. Rotary and Kiwanis with citizens built it, yet Mary Clare Egberts dictates to us. Rinaldi said the government should appoint a facilitator. He noted the Scott Rowan report in 2008 decided how the boards were composed across the province. DeWitt said, “If they actually balanced the books, we wouldn’t be asking these questions.” Duncan Armstrong said Quinte West has the largest military base in Canada and is one of the top retirement centres. Losing services at a hospital will affect schools and everyone. He also asked Rinaldi why he no longer has an office in town, not just Brighton and Cobourg, so people could talk to him. “Our hospital is on life support,” he said, noting he has set up a twitter account at #savetmh. Rinaldi said he has a strong objection to talking politics in this room, and this might be his last time here. He said his office has been strategically placed and he pays for two offices. Sally Freeman said, “We need you, Lou, for this battle. It will take more than cutting a few managers to save this hospital. We are in for the battle of a lifetime.” Rinaldi said, “I have never walked away from anything.” He said healthcare has not been cut,

Experience the Certified Pre-Owned Advantage 18 Brighton Independent - Thursday, January 22, 2015

News - Quinte West - Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Hastings and Prince Edward Counties is having a trivia challenge. Executive director Arlene Coculuzzi says the event will be held January 29 at 413 Wing starting at 6 p.m. and attracts a steady following. “This is our first fundraiser of the year,” she said. “Teams of eight to ten people register to battle it out to win bragging rights of being Big Brothers Big Sisters Trivia Challenge Champions.” In the past the agency has compiled questions from all over and was fortunate to have local celebrity Rick Kevan. This year they have changed it up a bit and have a new Trivia Master, DJ Rockin’ Rob Eady, to keep returning teams on their toes. It’s a licensed event and there will be pizza for sale, a 50/50 draw, and prizes for the top three teams. “This is to raise awareness of our mentoring programs and bring together some amazing folks who believe in our organization,” she says. “It’s for anyone that enjoys a fun, laid back, night out with friends or colleagues while exercising their brain muscles.” There are ten fun rounds, ten questions each. Should there be a tie, it proceeds to the tie-breaking rounds to determine a winner. Registration is $20 per person and funds raised at the event go toward providing mentors to children in need of a positive role model to help them reach their full potential through various programs. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Hastings and Prince Edward Counties has been creating friendships since 1974. It started out matching Big Brothers with Little Brothers and has grown to include a variety of different programs that serve both boys and girls. “We are proud of our achievements,” she says. “We continue to strive to be on the leading edge of the Big Brothers Big Sisters movement in Canada.” Coculuzzi adds that even though their office is physically located in Belleville, it continues to grow its involvement in Quinte West by hosting two fundraisers, Trivia in January and Bowl for Kids Sake in March. “We are active in many of the Quinte West schools with our In School and Group Mentoring Programs,” she adds. “We currently have many well deserving children on a wait list to be matched to a special BIG in Quinte West.” Contact the office at 613-962-3666 or visit the agency website <www. bigsneeded.ca> to find out how to get involved.

Unveiled, Quinte’s only boutique style bridal event, was well attended on Sunday, January 18 as hundreds of people—including quite a few brides-to-be—packed the warehouse at 360 Pinnacle Street in downtown Belleville. Dozens of weddingrelated businesses, from cake businesses, to hair salons, to limousine services and photographers and DJs, were in attendance to advertise their services. A highlight of the event was the fashion show run by Lily’s Bridal. Here a bride walks down the runway, as dozens of spectators watch.

News - Belleville - Staff and students at the new Harmony Public School received a scare on Thursday, January 15, but, in the end, only a cell phone was damaged.
Belleville firefighters from Stations 3 and 4 responded to an initial report of smoke in a classroom at the school, at 626 Harmony Road, at 11:33 a.m. On arrival, firefighters discovered smoke in the office areas and main entrance of the school. All students, teachers and administration staff had been safety evacuated and were outside on arrival. The cause of smoke—there was no fire—was found to be coming from a damaged cell phone in one of the small breakout rooms in the office areas of the school. There were no injuries and minimal damage from scorching on a table and on the floor. Everyone returned inside the school within a short period of time and returned to a normal school climate, firefighters say.

Foundation makes ten-year commitment to recreation redevelopment

News - Campbellford - Not as much money will be given out in community grants this year as in years past but the reason for it is a good thing. The Campbellford-Seymour Community Foundation has committed $50,000 a year for the next ten years to a recreation and wellness centre planned for Campbellford that includes an ice pad and indoor pool. It’s a centrepiece in a $33million plan that includes a recreation field house in Hastings that’s currently under construction, and a major addition to the arena in Warkworth. The long-term commitment will leave the foundation with little more than half of the $120,000 it usually hands out annually in support of local projects by schools, service clubs and other community organizations. Trent Hills has made the same sort of commitment with the money it receives from the municipal portion of the fund that the foundation manages on its behalf. The recreation redevelopment program fits in the foundation’s

“focus on wellness” which supports increasing opportunities for people of all ages to become fit and stay healthy, president Mina Murphy said. “It’s bringing all the pieces together” to serve groups with different interests and abilities. The Campbellford centre “is going to be an amazing facility,” she said. The pot might be smaller for issuing grants but there’s still plenty of money to go around for local groups, who have until February 27 to submit applications for funding. Eighteen have expressed interest to date. “The variety of things that they can do is amazing,” she said. “We either try to fund them or we try to steer them in a direction where they can obtain funding,” from other sources, foundation executive director Martha Murphy said. “Sometimes we look for partnership funding,” such as with United Way, which can help with the cost of underwriting a project, and leave more money on the table to help other organizations. “We cap our grants around $5,000,” she said.

Grants to not-for-profit and charitable organizations to pay student wages and benefits for 12 to 16 weeks in the summer is much sought-after, as it enables them to employ more than one student, with funding provided by the federal government. The foundation also makes use of its Youth Advisory Council to work with local schools in preparing applications for funding. YAC members “do a really good job,” Mina Murphy said, and along the way they develop leadership and communication skills that are invaluable. “It helps build capacity for the community,” she said, as well as provide jobs—16 in the past three years—for young people, which are “pretty hard to find.” Requests for grants are vetted by a grants committee which makes recommendations to the board for final approval. Only projects that will benefit residents of Campbellford and the former township of Seymour will be considered, based on terms that were set when the original fund was created from proceeds realized from the sale of a generating station owned by

the local public utilities commission. The original endowment of $6.2 million in 2002 has grown to $6.7 million, even though close to $5 million, as of last year, had been spent on more than 200 local projects involving 50-plus organizations ($2.8 million) since 2003, along with management and operating fees, Aron bonds and the purchase of a house that serves as the foundation’s office. This year’s grants will be announced in April at the annual general meeting. Surprisingly, despite the foundation’s record of achievement over the last decade, “people may not necessarily know” about the good it has accomplished, in making possible projects that otherwise might not get done, Mina Murphy said. “It’s a bit of a challenge for us,” she said. “We must have touched almost everyone in the community in one way or another ... [but] they still haven’t connected the dots.” In pledging $500,000 to recreation redevelopment, the foundation hopes to set an example for others in the community to follow. It’s a partner in Flourish, the Trent Hills Wellness Campaign, which set an overall goal of raising $7 million for three projects, including $1 million for

recreation redevelopment. The foundation’s commitment alone puts the campaign halfway there to reaching one of its targets. “We’re hoping people will step up to the plate,” Mina Murphy said.

Mina Murphy, president of the Campbellford-Seymour Community Foundation, made a special presentation to Trent Hills council recently, the first in a series of annual payments of $50,000 to be made over ten years to the municipality’s recreation redevelopment plan. Mayor Hector Macmillan and council have made a similar commitment, pledging money from the municipal fund the foundation administers. This year’s amount is $54,280. Photo: John Campbell

News - Quinte West - Andrew McLaren and Brian Lewis have been presented the OPP Commissioner’s Citation for helping save the life of a resident. “The individual was hanging off the bridge,” explained Inspector Mike Reynolds at the Police Services Board meeting on January 19. “These men saved the life of that person by hanging onto him until officers arrived.” The men were driving their ABC taxis in downtown Trenton when Andrew spotted a police officer hanging onto a man’s hands on the bridge. He immediately stopped and helped, also calling the taxi company for more assistance. Brian was next on the scene to help hold the man. “The man was not coherent, almost unconscious,” Andrew said. He said he did not know why the man was on the bridge or how he is today. “This is a message to everyone,” adds Reynolds. “When something like this happens, don’t turn away.” The Police Services Board chair Jim Alyea also congratulated the men. Alyea was re-elected chair for another year, and Ted Reid was also re-elected as vice-chair. Chuck O’Malley is still on the board. New members are Councillor Sally Freeman and public member Don O’Neill. Reports were heard from Inspector

Mike Reynolds, Staff Sergeant Dave Tovell, Detective Brad Robson, Community Police Officer Constable Dave Ludington and Quinte West Community Policing president Bill Trumley. Mayor Jim Harrison was also in attendance. “We would like to get an update in council,” Mayor Harrison noted. Police board meetings are held in the multi-purpose room at city hall and the next meetings are confirmed on April 20, July 20, and October 19.

Aron Theatre’s president reaching out to the community News - Campbellford “The message I would love to get out there is don’t forget we’re here,” said Mark White, whose role in his first year as president of the Aron Theatre Co-operative is taking the business forward in 2015 with a special mandate. “Because we are a notfor-profit co-op built into our bottom line are those membership dollars. They cover our fixed costs, the heat, hydro, mortgage, and taxes,” he explained. “Without membership dollars the business is not viable.” And so his goal is to take the vision of the organization to continue to transform the Aron into a sustainable cultural hub and help it gain momentum by getting his message out there. “In our initials years the content came from the inside out; now we’re switching off to say we built it now what do you want to do with it … it’s not my theatre, it’s everyone’s,” he added. At its peak the theatre had 300 individual memberships and 250 family memberships. “The tragedy is, and we’ve given this a lot of serious thought and discussion, that’s dwindled down to about one-

third,” he commented. “The membership is strictly about do you want the theatre to run in Campbellford— period,” he said. “We are now relying on the community to come forward and say what do you want to do with your theatre … it’s an incredible venue and thousands of dollars and man hours have gone into making it. It’s use it or lose it.” There’s a core group of people who operate the Aron on a continuing basis and they have a working model for venues that has proven successful. Bringing the theatre to this point has been renovating and rebuilding, removing 250 seats and replacing them with 140 modern comfortable seating to make the theatre more inviting and making the switch to a new “top-ofthe-line” digital projector and sound system. As a result, “we’ve got all the bells and whistles and we’ve got huge attendance,” said White. And the theatre has taken TIFF to a whole new level here too, entertaining more than 600 viewers this season. But all of that doesn’t guarantee the theatre’s longevity. “There’s a sense in the

community because of our successes we no longer need to be supported,” White said. So while working on increasing membership he is also promoting its use. “The big hole that I think that is missing from the venue in terms of us as a cultural hub is we need more live events and more music,” he explained. For example, the Aron worked with local renowned musician Ken Tizzard to host a variety show. “He did all the organization work and reached out to everybody … we know there’s a ton of great talent in the area, now it’s time for them to get together and

use the Aron as a venue for another musical event.” The Aron wants to build on its growth of partnerships with community organizations and local businesses for special events. And for White it is a personal commitment. “I love the theatre and have put in lots of hours but I am just a small piece of a very big effort that we need to see remain a big part of this community. And we’re always looking for new, enthusiastic people to join us,” he said.

Folklore Studio to help clients make their living space their own

By Sue Dickens

Business - Trent Hills - Describing herself as a “big haired, interior designer, in pursuit of a simple life,” Melissa Condotta moved to this area last fall bringing her talents as a designer and where she is now in the process of setting up her business Folklore Studio. She and her husband, Sonny, and their eight dogs came here after deciding that country life is what they wanted so they packed up their belongings and moved to Trent Hills. “We had just started The Dog Psychology and Rehabilitation Centre [aka The Dog P.A.R.C.] and we needed to leave the city [of Toronto] because we needed more land … and we also wanted a lifestyle change.” The dog centre is her husband’s area of expertise but designing living space for clients is what Condotta has been doing for the past five years and so she thought it would be a talent she could provide as a service here. Originally from Toronto she is ready to embrace the new, slower paced lifestyle and establish her business in Trent Hills so she does not have to juggle trips to the city to see clients. Whether it’s an in-home or online consultation Condotta will help people who want to make their living space

unique. “Your home should be an extension of self; reflecting you and your lifestyle. It should tell a story,” she says on her website where she also blogs her thoughts and aspirations. Her own style “is very eclectic,” she said. But when she designs for her clients it is all about them and their preferences. And when she designs she is “very much into using what you have and not having to go out and spend a fortune.” Condotta gives the client the tools they will need to make their space their own. “I give them a design plan and they work on it when they have the time and money,” she explained. “And I am budget friendly,” she added. Condotta’s goal is to have the client’s space “look the way they want and to feel the way they want … you want to be proud of your space and you don’t need to spend a lot of money to do it,” she said. “Sometimes people just need a few tips, just a push, a boost of confidence to see what they have in a new way,” she explained. Condotta charges $200 for a threehour consultation which will get the

client on their way to a living space of their dreams. “You can use this time as you wish. Whether it’s a small hands-on project, a colour consultation where we create a custom palette, or a brainstorm session about your design issues. By the end of the session, you’ll be filled with inspiration to move forward with your project,”

she notes on her website. The website, which by the way, she designed and built herself, is another service she provides. For more information or to contact Condotta go to <http://www.folklorestudio. ca/>. There will be an article on The Dog P.A.R.C. in a future edition of this newspaper.

Local geologist shares his knowledge at Probus Club meeting on a broader understanding of our local environment, including a list of 124 bird species, observed in Seymour Township from 19982014,” said Appleby. The business name Turnstone comes from a shorebird of the sandpiper family which summers on the northern coast and islands of North America and Eurasia and winters in more southern climes all around the world. Part of its feeding behaviour is to turn over stones seeking invertebrates, he explained. “Graham has been an active volunteer in the community and has created a 65-page illustrated report and slide presentation on the Natural History of the Crowe Bridge Conservation Area north of Campbellford,” Appleby noted. “This report was an important part of the effort to save the park and have it re-opened in 2010.

Later when responding to questions from the audience he noted, “Only one in 10,000 prospector’s dream becomes a mine.” Career choices for geologists were also mentioned including working for the petroleum industry, conducting mineral exploration, mining and more. “Field trips are important from the early days of a geologist’s career,” he noted. “Mineral exploration can involve the search for metals, industrial minerals or even gemstones,” he commented. He followed up with some interesting facts about diamond drilling. During his presentation he also talked also about stone carvings made from different types of rock.

When talking about natural history, birds and ecology, he included reference to the natural history of this area. For example, a large boulder located in the IODE Parkette is the result of a time when pebbles and larger blocks of “Grenville” rocks were carried down by the Laurentian ice sheets. A plaque was erected along Grand Road in 2002 celebrating this “large and attractive example of erratic boulder, composed of a striking rock type known as gabbro.” Questions followed about frost quakes and fracking as well as the damage sites left behind by mining companies. Wilson noted that this happened before regulations were brought in and that anyone mining today has many rules and regulations to consider before moving forward.

Health unit reminds residents about expanded ban on butting out

News - Trent Hills - Local residents are reminded about the changes to the SmokeFree Ontario Act that took effect on January 1, 2015. It is now illegal to smoke on or around children’s playgrounds, as well as publicly owned sports fields and surfaces such as ice rinks and swimming pools. Smoking is also banned on all bar and restaurant patios at all times (whether covered or not). The sale of tobacco products is also banned on all university and college campuses in Ontario. “These changes will help clear the air and ensure children and young people are protected from the effects of deadly tobacco smoke,” stated Lorne Jordan, a tobacco control officer with the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit. People caught smoking or holding a lit tobacco product in a banned area could face a fine of at least $305, and up to $1,000. As well, restaurant owners, operators and managers could be fined if anyone smokes on the patios of their establishments. The Smoke-Free Ontario Act first took

effect on May 31, 2006, making all enclosed public places and workplaces in Ontario 100 per cent smoke-free. Rates of smoking have been on the decline ever since, notes Jordan. While nearly one-quarter of all Ontarians smoked in 2000, the provincial smoking rate had dropped to 18.1 per cent in 2013 (Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care). With tobacco-related diseases costing Ontario’s health care system an estimated $2.2 billion in direct health care costs, lower smoking rates add up to less illness, fewer preventable early deaths, and savings in tax dollars. As Jordan noted, “Smoking bans are a good investment in better health.”

Church-Key founder dismisses Beer Store offer to craft brewers News - Trent Hills - The founder of Church-Key Brewing Company says “the Beer Store guys are on the run” with their recent offer to sell craft brewers minority stakes in their monopoly and discount the listing fees they charge. “Their sudden Trojan Horse gift is not sincere,” John Graham said in reaction to the recent announcement by Brewers Retail Inc. It’s a “token” move “to create some confusion” among members of the provincial government who have “much bigger plans for us in their March budget,” he said. “Way too little, way too late … There’s nothing there for us.” The offer by the private monopoly—owned by three foreign companies (Labatt, owned by Anheuser-

Busch, based in Belgium), Molson Coors (United States) and Sleeman (Sapporo, Japan)—was seen as a response to a recommendation by the premier’s Advisory Council on Government Assets last fall that craft breweries be given more opportunity to expand their business within the existing system. The council, led by former TD Bank CEO Ed Clark, also recommended the Beer Store pay a “franchise fee” for the monopoly it enjoys. “They can’t behave the way they’ve always had,” Graham said, which was to “go out of their way to restrict non-owner brands” through an in-store format that limits their visibility. Church-Key doesn’t use the Beer Store. The company sells its

beers, such as Northumberland Ale and Holy Smoke, at its brewery in Pethericks Corners and pub in Campbellford. The ales are also sold on tap in about 100 restaurants across Ontario and through more than 100 Liquor Control Board of Ontario outlets, which, unlike the Beer Store, does not charge a listing fee to carry them. Graham said he would like to see six-packs of his product sold at restaurants but he’s not interested in making convenience stores part of the distribution network. “They’ve made too many errors in the past with the cigarettes [being sold to minors],” he said. Graham “will not be jumping to join The Beer Store [but] will instead wait and see what the spring budget from provincial govern-

ment has to offer … this is not the time to join the dark side.” Graham said he believes the Liberal government is “ready to seriously look at the situation and give us a little more of a level playing field.” The craft brewing industry is “enjoying incredible growth,” despite the hurdles that have been placed in its way, creating “more local jobs per litre of beer than the large foreign-owned brewers,” he said. Church-Key employs a dozen people at its brewery and pub, most of them full-time. It’s “beautifully inefficient,” taking all day to produce 2,000 John Graham, the founder of Church-Key Brewing Company at Pethericks litres of beer that “would be done Corners, says the offer by the owners of the Beer Store to open up its moin a few minutes” at a much larger nopoly to small brewers like himself, is “way too little, way to late.” Photo: brewery, Graham said.

Sports - Stirling - There were plenty of memorable moments for participants and spectators alike when the Stirling Figure Skating Club (SFSC) hosted the 2015 Special Olympics Ontario Invitational Competition last weekend at the Stirling Arena. Throughout the day dozens of skaters, representing clubs from across eastern Ontario, competed in various interpretive, dance, solo, skills and funskate events before gathering for the formal medal presentation ceremonies upstairs in the Lions Hall. And at the end of the day, SFSC Competition Chair Bev Myers commended participants and volunteers for “a fabulous job,” before thanking supporters including the Royal Canadian Legion, Stirling and District Lions Club, Friends of Stirling and Hydro One for their help in making the event a successful one. “We really couldn’t have done it without them,” she says. Skaters arrived in Stirling on Saturday morning from clubs including Kingston, Goulbourn, West Carleton, Gloucester, Peterborough, Ajax and Oshawa ready to compete in the Skate Canada Eastern Ontario invitational. Opening ceremonies, including demonstrations by SFSC members, the arrival of the Stirling Legion colour guard, official welcomes and introductions and the singing of O Canada, culminated with a pair of participants, Jack Fan and Erin Bennett, reciting the Skaters Oath before the competition was declared under way. Several Lions and Legion members, as well as dozens of SFSC volunteers, spent the day at the rink in celebration of the Special Olympics competition, held for the first time in Stirling, and were also involved in the medal presentations afterwards. Deputy-mayor Bob Mullin and MPP Todd Smith spoke briefly during opening ceremonies, wishing competitors the best and welcoming them to the community. And throughout the day performers were greeted with heartfelt applause from those in attendance. At the close of the day, many were highly impressed by the sense of joy and pleasure exhibited during on-ice performances as well as the camaraderie shared on the sidelines. Myers was among those moved by the event, noting it was an honour and a privilege to host the competition that had certainly offered plenty of inspiration for local skaters. Competitive events began at about 10:30 with women’s technical and freeskate programs followed by elements, dance and various solo performances. Among the participants was 21-year-old Stephanie McMahon, representing the Gloucester Skating Club, who first started skating at the age of four. Blind since birth, McMahon, who was joined on the ice by helper Chelsea Lacelle, says she has always enjoyed being on the ice and credits her aunt for introducing her to the sport. SFSC President Joanne Card, who took in many events while attending to various volunteer duties throughout the day, says the competition is sure to leave a lasting impression on those in attendance. For club members who worked on the event, she adds, it was an extremely positive experience that offered countless inspirational moments and plenty to cheer about.

SCC hosts another provincial championship

The Land O’ Lakes Curling Club rink, including skip Laura Reavie, third Laurie Healy, second Amy McConnell and lead Rosemary Enright, lost their bid for a championship in the Best Western Challenge last weekend, losing in the semi-finals in Stirling. By Richard Turtle

Sports - Stirling - A full slate of rinks from across the province arrived at several area curling clubs last weekend where the Stirling Curling Club hosted much of the women’s action in the Best

Western Challenge that wrapped up in Picton on Sunday. Club representative Rick Barnard was at the rink for much of the weekend and says the event was a big success, attracting hundreds of curlers to the

area for the annual competition. And it has been a busy stretch for the local club, to which Barnard and many other local curlers can attest, having only the weekend before hosted the Stirling Curling Club’s first Provincial Masters

Curling Championships. A total of 32 women’s rinks began their weekend of curling in the Best Western Challenge on Friday evening with the 16 teams making up the second draw taking to the ice in Stirling while

the first draw rinks faced off at the Prince Edward Curling Club in Picton. Meanwhile, the men’s events were under way in Brighton and Trenton. Please see “Stirling” page B2

Jefferson Starship plays insane psychedelic rock show The show started with a 30-minute set from a Picton-based acoustic guitar duo called Instant Rivalry. The group is a brother-sister combo, featuring Megan and Caleb Hutton. Megan also had a smooth and powerful voice, which could carry up to the rafters. The duo sang folksy-pop songs from

an album they hope to release through “crowdfunding.� That’s a term used to describe the act of soliciting donations for a creative project. It’s something more artists are doing in an age of social media, where there are fewer record companies and fewer

people willing to buy albums. To hear Instant Rivalry’s music and learn more about their crowdfunding campaign, visit <www.instantrivalry. com>.

her own songs. But the band now has some young energy, with a lightning quick lead guitarist, Jude Gold, and Richardson, who while only in her 40s, sings as if she experienced the music scene of the 1960s and 1970s. She, in a sense, is there to replace the band’s Woodstock-era lead singer Grace Slick. Her voice carried up to the Empire’s back row. Richardson later explained to the audience that she grew up listing to Jefferson Airplane albums for hours in her room and was thrilled to get an opportunity to play in the band.

Entertainment - Belleville - “Welcome to our insanity,� said Paul Kantner, the legendary member of Jefferson Starship, as he and his bandmates took the Empire Theatre stage last Friday night. And with that the band started more than an hour’s worth of psychedelic rock, driven by wild electric guitar solos and powerful vocals, led by the band’s new singer, Cathy Richardson. Jefferson Starship is a band that evolved following the rise of Jefferson Airplane in the 1960s. Friday’s show in Belleville, to a close to capacity crowd, included some well-known songs including Let’s Get Together, a smooth and catchy gem from Jefferson’s Airplane’s 1966 debut album. The band also opened the show with a wild version of Ride the Tiger, from their 1974 album Dragon Fly, which got the crowd grooving. It perhaps wasn’t the same as seeing the band in the 1960s and 1970s. Kantner, now in his 70s, played much of the show slumped over or leaning against a large case. He also took a breather part way through to let Richardson play some of

An “all time high” for local beef farmers By Brett Mann

News - Tweed - The Beef Farmers of Hastings County held their annual general meeting in Tweed again this year. Sixty-five members and guests of the club, a branch of Beef Farmers of Ontario, gathered to enjoy a roast beef dinner followed by a “routine” business meeting. Secretary/Treasurer Glynda Moore reported that the board of directors gained a new second vice-president in Mark Grant but “the directors didn’t change.” Darrell Russett remains president with Darren Farrell as vice-president. Beef farmer Dale Grant continues as advisory councillor. President Russett discussed the history and goals of the organization. “We have thirty-five paid members across Hastings County, but there’s a lot more farmers in Hastings County than that,” said Russett who operates the farm he was born on north of Stirling with the help of his wife Sandra and son Rodney. Monthly meetings deal with topics such as proper

vaccinations for cattle, how to treat animals, various medical problems and related issues. “It’s a place for cattlemen to get caught up on different problems we’re having. We do a lot of work to help 4-H members. We always have a booth at the Hastings County Plowing Match, and there’s always lots of recipes and different things available to help both the barn end of the farm and the kitchen end.” Other activities include an annual Twilight Supper and Auction, a “steer bursary” for agriculture students, and the OCA Cow/Calf Road Show where farmers visit different farms to share tips and knowledge. While the club does not directly address marketing strategies, Beef Farmers of Ontario provides consumer education on different cuts of beef, preparation tips and how beef is produced on increasingly high-tech farms. “Everything is documented,” says Russett, “whether it be a sore foot or pink-eye … all that stuff is documented and there’s a traceability

The Beef Farmers of Hastings County held their annual meeting and dinner in Tweed this month. Re-elected to the Board of Directors were President Darrell Russett, (l) Secretary/Treasurer Glynda Moore and Vice-President Darren Farrell. The industry is experiencing “an all time high” says President Russett.

end of it. It’s done with a scanner and radio tags that track where the animal was born and raised.” He adds that some farmers don’t use the technology, which is not particularly expensive, because they don’t

get any extra money for their efforts. “To me that’s a false way to look at it. It’s like buying a car; you’ve got to get a licence and insurance and all that stuff. The sooner they make it compul-

sory, there won’t be arguments about it. It should be part of the protocol to be able to raise animals.” Russett estimates the majority of “the cow/calf guys” have herds ranging in size from 35 to

150 animals, with Charolais, Angus, Hereford and Simmental accounting for most of the breeds. Availability of grazing land is a concern for Ontario beef farmers. “The people from the city have bought a lot of that land for recreation,” says Mr. Russett. “That’s taken a lot of land beyond what a farmer can afford to pay for it.” He would like to see provisions to encourage land owners (often absent) to allow grazing on their properties, and reports support from MP Daryl Kramp and MPP Todd Smith on the issue. “There’s lots going on at the government end.” One proposal is the Northern Cow Herd Extension plan to develop the sixteen million acres of grazing land north of Cochrane, but lack of infrastructure and roads present a huge problem. “Today we farm thirteen million acres,” says Russett. “We have enough [grazing land] here if we could get the land back in farmers’ hands.” Overall, times are very good in beef farming Russett reports. “I think we’ve got a great future coming. We’re at an all time high, but nothing ever stays at a high. Beef consumption is up and production is down. We’ve never seen the price of beef where it is right now. I don’t see it staying there forever, it’s going to go up and down, but we’ve got a good run right now and hopefully things will keep going.”

TRAVEL

Curacao’s Colourful Capital City, Willemstad

By John M. Smith

Lifestyles - The relatively small Caribbean island of Curacao is located just off the coast of Venezuela and very near the island of Aruba. It’s a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, with a population of only about 150,000, and its colourful capital city is Willemstad. My wife and I explored this intriguing destination of Willemstad, and we were particularly attracted to the beautiful, colourful Dutch colonial architecture so prevalent along its waterfront. After all, these colourful buildings seem to be featured in almost every tourist brochure, and they certainly do catch one’s attention. I learned that these colourful buildings weren’t always here, for most of these structures were originally built of sea sand and sea coral and were white. They often suffered from decay and what our guide called “sea cancer,” so it was necessary to apply a coat of paint annually. I was then told that a former governor of the island suffered

from severe headaches, and he thought that this malady was aggravated by the sun’s reflection off this plethora of white buildings, so he apparently mandated that the exterior be painted in any colour other than white, and thus the colourful buildings emerged, and this tradition continues on even now. To make this anecdote even more entertaining, I also learned that the particular governor who had made the decree actually had shares in the island’s only paint store. Go figure. The vivid colours found along Willemstad’s waterfront are one of the most stunning displays found in the Caribbean, and its city centre has now been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. However, we discovered that Willemstad had much more to offer, including the oldest continuously operating synagogue in the Western Hemisphere (the Mikvé IsraelEmanuel Synagogue), the Jewish Cultural Historical Museum (attached to the synagogue), the Pietermaai Cathedral (the island’s largest Roman Catholic

Willemstad’s Wedding Cake House.

Correction

An article about Quinte Health Care in the January 15 Connected section contained some incorrect information. QHC is not projected to have a $12-million deficit by April. Rather, Quinte Health Care is preparing to have a balanced budget by the start of the 2015-2016 fiscal year. If it does not make changes, it would end that fiscal year with a $12-million deficit. We apologize for the error and any confusion it caused.

church), the Curacao Museum (located in a renovated 1853 hospital), the Curacao Maritime Museum (with its maps, charts, and nautical equipment), the Kura Hurlanda Museum (which traces the history of the slave trade in this area), Rif Fort (originally used as a defence for the harbour entry, and now housing shops, restaurants, and a gallery), and Fort Amsterdam (now used as the governor’s home). We were also impressed by the city’s towering Queen Juliana Bridge, the tallest in the Caribbean, and its immense oil refinery; after all, since Willemstad is located so close to Venezuela’s oilfields, its harbour has become the largest oil handling port in the Caribbean. We also discovered that two city districts, Punda and Otrabanda, are divided by St. Anna Bay, which can be crossed via a floating pontoon bridge, the Queen Emma Bridge. This pedestrian bridge opens to allow large freighters through, so a warning siren will tell pedestrians when the bridge is about to swing open, so that they can rush across, or simply stay on the bridge and enjoy the ride. We, of course, explored both sides of the bridge, and discovered lots of shopping. However, we particularly liked the float-

ing market, in the Punda district, where Venezuelan merchants tied up their wooden boats and offered goods for sale, including clothes, crafts, and fresh fruits and vegetables. We observed that some of the locals didn’t even bother to park their cars while shopping here, for they simply slowed down and placed their orders, and then a merchant would run ahead and give them the desired products. Drive by shopping in Curacao. Punda, once fortified and walled, is the oldest district of historic Willemstad. The somewhat more modern Otrabanda district (appropriately translated as simply “The Other Side”) was founded in 1707, and here we found a maze of twisting streets and alleyways. We also discovered some old cemeteries in Willemstad, including a rather decrepit Jewish cemetery, Beit Hayim Cemetery, where many of the gravestones have sadly deteriorated because of acid from the nearby oil refinery. Ironically, this island refines oil for nearby Venezuela, but has none of its own. We also learned that people are buried above ground on this island, in family plots, and more family members keep being added to the same plot. Our guide told us it was like “an

afterlife family time share.” Our guide also recounted a story of an old house in Willemstad that some had deemed to be haunted, for the piano would suddenly begin playing. How-

ever, after further investigation, it was determined that the piano keys were actually being walked upon by tiny lizards that had come into that particular abode for a visit.

It truly was a snow event with the trails boasting a hefty covering of the white stuff and plenty of it in evidence at the fairgrounds as well. It all began at the Community Centre on Friday evening with the opening ceremonies during which MP Daryl Kramp expressed thanks to those who make the annual event possible, pointing to the younger generation stepping in to carry on with Jen Bennett as the new Chair. Kramp, in speaking to the mushers, commented, “You have come to a warm, warm, friendly place. The weather may be a little fresh and chilly in some cases, but the hearts of the people here are absolutely magnificent. Have yourself a wonderful time. Take advantage of every activity - there is something for everyone.” The evening went ahead with the well-attended Marmora’s Got Talent, which attracted two entries in the 13 and under category and nine in the over 13 classification. Judges Paul Speight, Luke Mercer and Hynze Bryans had their jobs cut out for them in de-

termining the winners, who provided entertainment ranging from classical and country music to humour and rap. Speight commented on the outstanding talent, saying the judges had a tough job making a decision, as all contestants were “within fractions of one another.” First place in the 13 and under category went to Deanna Collier, with Kayla Carman in second. Matthew Rivera, Anne Marie McGregor and the DeJong family of eight violinists were first, second and third in the older division. The races began the following day with teams from across Ontario and one from each of Quebec and New York State participating in a total of eight dog-related events, which ranged over the course of the snowy weekend from sprints and skijoring to a 20-mile run to Malone and back. As always there were many other activities and events for all to enjoy both at the fairgrounds and around town, among them, an ice water rescue demonstration by members of the local fire department, the Back of Cordova curling bonspiel, the annual Artistic Expressions display and sale, and Who’s Growing Locally with its wide array of goods, both edible and otherwise, all produced nearby. There was entertainment for the children with Sat-

urday’s Kidz Zone, which provided both indoor and outdoor fun ranging from mime, face painting and storytelling, to music, hot chocolate and time spent sliding down a man-made hill. Sunday featured the impressive talents of Circus Jonathan Seglins, of Toronto, who provided two 20-minute interactive and very entertaining outdoor shows on Sunday, which had appeal not only for the children who sat in colourful chairs to enjoy the juggling, balancing and other feats, but also for the parents who stood nearby watching the show. Between performances, Circus John donned a pair of very tall stilts, then walked around the site impressing all with his agility. There was food to be enjoyed at the Legion breakfasts as well as at the Curling Club and on the fairgrounds, with a luncheon held at Saint Andrew’s United Church. Chainsaw carver, Levi Caya of Campbellford, who has been perfecting his craft over the past five years, set up shop on the bandstand where he worked on a bear, while onlookers had the opportunity to purchase other pieces of work or buy tickets on a draw for one of three carvings with the proceeds going to SnoFest. Saturday night featured a silent auction at the Community Centre along with the annual banquet catered by members of the Marmora Crowe Valley Lions Club, followed by entertainment provided by the Toronto based band, Running Red Lights. The group played again the next day following the awards ceremony when many gathered to receive trophies, ribbons and congratulations from Race Mar-

shall Shane Cox, who managed to participate in two races himself, winning the 20-mile event. Bennett commented prior to the presentations, saying, “I want to thank everyone who came out this weekend. We braved this great Canadian weather and saw lots of gorgeous dogs ... I hope we can continue to improve this festival for years to come.”

Have fun at the Marmora Snofest!

Chainsaw carver, Levi Caya, of Campbellford attracted a crowd who watched as he worked to create the head of a bear using skills he has honed over the past 13 years, five of those making use of a chainsaw. Several of his works were for sale, Four-year-old Mason Richter of Wooler had been practising for the Little while three others, an owl, a wolf head, and an Nippers’ race with his dog Bailey almost every day for four weeks before the eagle head, went up for raffle last year, with the 2014 event. His efforts were rewarded with a third-place finish in a field of proceeds going to support SnoFest. Photo: Judy Backus 15. Photo: Judy Backus

TONER, Sean Joseph - passed away suddenly on Sunday, December 28, 2014. Born in Hamilton on January 30, 1963 to Sheila (Byrne) and the late Patrick Toner. Sean grew up in Tweed, attended St. Carthagh’s School, Nicholson Catholic School and Herzing College in Toronto. Sean worked with computers, carpentry and truck driving. He finally found his calling in the barbering business. This allowed him free range to use his social skills, share his laughter, good humour and most of all his knowledge of the world and its people. Great music, the simple things in life and being outdoors made him the happiest. He loved his family and friends, especially his children, like no other could. Sean will always be loved and missed by his daughter Katie, his former wife Jill, mother of his children Jack and Nicole, mother Sheila, siblings Siobhan (Kim) Hughes, Kelly (Bob) Lord, Patrick (Sherry) Toner, Colleen (Siegfried) Kiefer and Maura (Jim) Thrussell, aunts and uncles Larry (Margaret) Byrne, Bob (Flo) Byrne, Fr. Gerald Byrne, Fr. Leo Byrne and his many nieces, nephews and cousins. Predeceased by his father, his brother Kevin Toner and nephew Adam Hughes. Great music, the simple things in life and being outdoors made him the happiest. He had a loving and kind heart for family, especially his children. Sean rested at the Cassidy Funeral Home, Tweed on Thursday from 2-4pm & 7-9pm. Funeral Mass was concelebrated by Fr. Leo Byrne, Fr. Gerald Byrne, Fr. Shawn Hughes, Fr. Patrick Kelly, Fr.

Sept. 21 1982 - Jan. 24 2014 We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. We think of you in silence, we often speak your name. All we have are memories, and your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake, with which we will never part. God has you in His keeping, we have you in our hearts. A million times we’ve wanted you. A million times we’ve cried. If love could only have saved you, you never would have died. It broke our hearts to lose you. But you didn’t go alone. For a part of us went with you... the day God called you Home. - Author Unknown
