ENSS grad “really excited” to be representing Canada at world championships By John Campbell
Trennt Michaud, a graduate of East Norhumberland Secondary School, and his partner Hope McLean are shown here on their way to winning the Junior Pairs at the 2016 Canadian Tire National Skating Championships held recently in Halifax. Representing Eastern Ontario, the pair finished 15 points ahead of the second-place team. Michaud also placed 11th in the junior men’s category. He currently resides in the London area and trains at Komoka. The pair now have their sights set on the ISU World Junior Championships in March in Debrecen, Hungary.

Brighton -- Eleven years ago, when he was eight and learning to skate, Trennt Michaud saw a local figure skater perform a series of spins and jumps at an end-of-year carnival. “I wanted to try it,” he recalls. He did eventually “and ever since then I’ve never looked back.” And now Michaud is “really excited” looking forward to competing at the World Junior Figure Skating Championships in Debrecen, Hungary March 14-20 with his partner Hope McLean in the pairs competition. “We’re just happy to be given the chance to represent Canada at this event,” he said. “It’s pretty awesome being able to represent Canada at any point ... on the world stage.” The two were named to this country’s team after winning their category at the Canadian Tire National Skating Championships in January. “We skated pretty well,” Michaud said. “When the marks came up it was a pretty cool moment knowing we just won, [that] we’re the top team in Canada ... We couldn’t be happier with how we did. We’re just thankful for all of our supporters, family, friends, our trainers, our coach. We couldn’t have done it without them.”

The Belleville native who later moved to Smithfield and graduated from East Northumberland Secondary School, started out at the Quinte Figure Skating Club. He followed his coach to the Prince Edward Figure Skating Club, which he continues to represent even though he now lives and works in London where he trains. “This a full-time thing,” said Michaud, who also works at three part-time jobs. “So I’m pretty busy.” He ended up there a couple of years ago when he was looking to move to a skating school where he could train full-time. His coach at the time arranged for a tryout at the London Competitive Skating Centre. “I tried out with Hope and everything seemed to work pretty well,” he said. They represented Canada at the Junior Grand Prix in Germany in 2014 and again last year in Poland where they placed sixth. The pair won the Skate Canada Challenge in Edmonton which earned them a spot at the national championships. Michaud said he plans to work on improving his skating skills before moving into the senior ranks in two years. “You soak up your years in junior to really work on that and build a name for yourself internationally,” he said.

A walk through woods bursting with words Castleton – Students at Northumberland Hills Public School, accompanied by parents, made their way through a forest last week, without ever leaving the building. It was a Forest of Reading they navigated, Canada’s largest recreational reading program. An initiative of the Ontario Library Association (OLA), the program encourages a love of reading among young and old as well as celebrates Canadian authors and Canadian books. The association selects the best of Canadian publications over the past year and slots the top 10 nominees in eight award
categories named after trees that are based on the age of the readers. Students in participating schools across the province get to vote for their favourite book. The Blue Spruce Reading Program, for example, is aimed at students from kindergarten to Grade 2. It “promotes reading for enjoyment and begins to develop the reader’s skill in evaluating a picture book based on story, text and pictures,” says the OLA. “It’s nice because it offers them really good quality Canadian titles,” which the children have accepted with enthusiasm, school librarian Lea French said. “We focus on early literacy,” and making sure the school’s beautiful library is being
used, principal Alison Osborne said. Northumberland Hills is committed as well to connecting parents and the community and drawing them “into our space,” she added. Which it did by having parents read to the students Family Literacy Day Jan. 27. Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board schools elsewhere joined in celebrating literacy in other ways. At Colborne Public School, students from different classes read together in pairs as Reading Buddies. Parents of primary students at Stockdale Public School enjoyed a Family Literacy Evening. And everyone at Kent Public School was encouraged to dress up as their favourite book character.

OPINION
Don’t write off all newspapers … yet
Goodbye Schengen “Europe has forgotten that history is fundamentally tragic,” said Manuel Valls, the French prime minister. “If Europe can’t protect its own borders, it’s the very idea of Europe that could be thrown into doubt. It could disappear – not Europe itself, not our values, but the EuroGwynne Dyer pean project, the concept we have of Europe, that the founding fathers had of Europe.” The European Union – 28 countries and 500 million people – is not really going to disappear just because it cannot agree on how to deal with one or two millon refugees. But one of the great symbols of its unity, the Schengen Treaty that allowed its citizens to move around without passports or border checks, is being suspended, perhaps forever. Schengen doesn’t cover every single EU country. The United Kingdom and Ireland remain outside the Schengen Zone, and Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria and Cyprus, all new EU members, are still waiting to join. Switzerland, Norway and Iceland are part of the Schengen Zone although they are not EU members. But it does include over 400 million people. It is a remarkable achievement. You could get into your car in Portugal and drive all the way to Finland via Spain, France, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia without ever once having to show a passport or identity card. There would not even be anybody in uniform standing at the frontier to wave you past, just a sign by the side of the road saying “Welcome to (Country X)”. Or rather, that was the situation until last month, when Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Austria re-imposed passport checks at their borders, ports and airports even for travellers arriving from other Schengen Zone countries. France acted even earlier, declaring emergency controls on its borders after the terrorist massacre in Paris in November. So now fully half of the EU’s citizens (counting the UK and Ireland) live behind real borders again. The new border controls are alleged to be temporary measures, which the Schengen Treaty permits for a maximum of six months in the face of some unspecified emergency. But the refugee emergency is not going to fade away by next July, and the threat of terrorism will persist for the foreseeable future. That’s why the European Commission is now examining how the legal framework of Schengen can be fiddled to allow a further two years of controls on the EU’s internal borders. Nobody doubts that

they will find a way to do that, but a great many people doubt that the passport-free zone, once suspended for that long, will ever come back. This is happening not because Germans fear French travellers or Swedes fear Danes. It’s happening because none of them believe that the external borders of the Schengen Zone are properly controlled. Even in freeezing January weather 35,000 refugees entered the EU last month, and it looks set to be another million-refugee year. And two of the men who carried out the Paris attacks crossed from Turkey to Greece (a Schengen member) as refugees. You can’t call that a secure external frontier. The three countries that took in 90 per cent of last year’s refugees, Germany, Austria and Sweden, have all blamed Greece for letting so many refugees in and failing to document them properly. “Greece has one of the biggest navies in Europe,” said the Austrian interior minister, Johana MiklLeitner. “It’s a myth that the Greek-Turkish border cannot be protected.” The Greeks quite reasonably ask what their big navy is supposed to do. Sink the refugee boats? As for the failure to register all the refugees properly, they point out that at peak flow last autumn more than 10,000 were arriving each day. They didn’t have enough officials and equipment to cope with such numbers: 40 fingerprint machines running non-stop around the clock can only deal with about 4,000 people a day. There is even talk of suspending Greece from the Schengen Treaty for two years, but a better solution would be to give it the people and resources needed to document everybody who comes in – and to turn back those who have no right to come in. It’s not just a question of screening out possible terrorists, although that must be done better if confidence in Schengen is to be restored. In practice, Greece (or EU officials operating in Greece) would also have to decide at the border who is really a genuine refugee they are obliged to admit, and who should be returned immediately to Turkey. The brutal truth is that most of the people crossing from Turkey into Greece, including the Syrians and Afghans who come from war-torn countries, are “asylum-shoppers”. They were already safe in Turkey, which is sheltering almost 2 million Syrian refugees and spending billions of dollars a year on them. But life in the camps in Turkey is hard, so they are moving on to seek asylum in richer countries with better facilities. There is no obligation for Europe to take them all, and the Schengen Treaty will die if it does. But the European Union itself will soldier on without it, at least until and unless the euro currency collapses when the next recession hits.

Some weeks back, your correspondent ruminated on the changing face of newspaper journalism and the fact said same correspondent decided to get back off the front porch rocking chair and again dip his toe in the ink in these pages. That was a scant few weeks ago when many in our business were fretting about the fragile state of newspapers. Today, after the week from journalism hell, it’s a much more frightening place for us all – the journalists who toil in newspapers in this country and you, the readers. It was a week that saw a lockout/strike at the Halifax Chronicle that is not going to end well for the line-walking journos there and the announced closures of century-old community dailies in Naniamo, B.C., and Guelph, where The Mercury, owned by this newspaper’s parent company Torstar’s Metroland, was shuttered. As well, we saw the week before the co-joining of newsrooms in Ottawa, Calgary, Vancouver and Edmonton where Postmedia had dailies in competition with Sun newspapers. Hundreds were laid off in the process. Postmedia now owns more than 200 media outlets in this country, mostly newspapers. There is no other conlgomeration of foreign news media ownership anywhere in the world as large as this money-leaking dog’s breakfast and you would never see such a thing allowed in any other major democracy. For that, I suppose, we can thank our previous government for approving the sale of Sun Media to Postmedia in a move orchestrated by a handful of cash-hungry American hedge firms, led by New York-based GoldenTree Asset Management, which alone controls 35 per cent of Postmedia today. According to Torstar business writer David Olive, Postmedia is a “cancer” unlike any seen before in Canadian newspapers, owing to the fact it owes its bones and soul to GoldenTree, whose sole purpose is to extract profits, in U.S. finds, from the carcasses of the dwindling newspapers in the chain. “The good news is that the Postmedia abomination, which has never turned a profit, is in such wretched condition that it’s not long for this world,” wrote Olive in an insightful piece in the Saturday Star. “The bad news is that as long as the biggest newspaper publisher in the country clings to life, it is a blight on all the communities it underserves. It’s not just small to mid-sized dailies that are under threat, either. As reported in The Toronto Star last week, CRTC hearings into the future of local television stations are hearing harrowing tails of outlets hanging on precariously. Don Caron, the manager of one Thunder Bay television broadcaster, said the two local televi-

sion stations in Thunder Bay could go dark by September. Crazily, he outlined how they are only being kept alive on the payouts on life insurance policies the station had on two dead executives.. “We are probably the most desperate of the stations that are sitting in front of you,” Caron, vicepresident and general manager of Thunder Bay Electronics Inc., told commissioners last Wednesday at CRTC hearings in Gatineau, Que. According to the Star account, Caron said the company is still afloat only because of “significant” life insurance policies taken out on the former owner and general manager, both of whom died in the past year. Picture, if you will, a homeowner so down on his or her luck that they can’t pay the fuel bill and have taken to breaking up the furniture to burn in the fireplace. Yes, it’s that grim in most quarters of the media companies in this country. Working for a small, privately owned radio station, newspaper or string of TV stations in Canada today and smiling smugly that you’re alright, Jack? Think again. Many, if not most, are unfortunately whistling past the graveyard if this pace continues and I weep for the future of the young, talented people I see just starting out. As a newspaperman in the autumn of my career, I can look back on the more than three and a half decades I’ve practised the craft with one startling realization. That is, I have never put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard for any single newspaper owner. It has always been my role, since I signed on out of J-school in 1978 as editor of The Hanover Post, to work for a newspaper corporation. Many corporate outfits, like the monolithic Thomson empire where thousands of us got our starts, had been hived off into smaller, more progressive regional newspaper groups, like Michael Sifton’s Osprey Media was for a time. But, that all ended when the hedge fund barbarians reached the gate and started gobbling up newspaper titles like they were so many two-bit spots on a Monopoly board. Sure, the newspaper industry is changing. But, as I stated earlier in a piece a few weeks back, there is still a crying need for us to tell the stories of our communities in newspapers delivered to your doors in those communities. Yes, the large dailies will continue to flail mightily in the tar-pit throes of what seems to be their mass extinction – at least until someone comes up with a formula to make them profitable. But, the most frightening aspect of this current conflagration in the newspaper industry is that we, in the smaller ponds and you, the readers in those ponds, run the very real risk of being collateral damage in a war not of our making.

Brighton Independent - Thursday, February 4, 2016 7
Public transit will make its debut in Brighton Feb. 8 Brighton – Beginning next week Brighton residents will be able to travel by bus to Trenton and back with the introduction of a public transit system on a trial basis. The system builds on a specialized door-to-door service that Quinte Access Transportation has been providing Brighton’s seniors and persons with disabilities for decades. “It’s a surprise to everybody [that] we’ve been doing it for over 25 years,” said Quinte Access Transportation administrator Shelly Ackers. The weekday service is being expanded at the request of the Brighton Accessibility Advisory Committee and Community Care to include everyone but Ackers said users will not be required to register. The inaugural run of the Brighton Transit System Feb. 8 will be “a landmark day” for
the municipality when “all the great work [and] cooperation” of the committee and Quinte Access staff will come together, said committee member Councillor John Martinello in an email announcing the system’s imminent arrival. It’s a huge, “progressive step forward in making Brighton a more accessible – and better – place for all people to live [and] work,” he said. A set route has been established with seven locations around town where residents can board the bus to Trenton -- Prince Edward Square, Presqu’ile Bay Outfitters in Gosport, the Sandpiper Community Centre in Brighton by the Bay, Brighton Health Centre, Sobey’s, King Edward Community Centre and No Frills. (The exact times are posted on the municipal and Quinte Access websites and in print. Residents are being told to book a seat one day in advance as seating
Rotary Club of Brighton Newsletter for January, 2016 A Belated Happy New Year from our Rotary Club of Brighton. So, the first month of 2016 is behind us and one that saw some changes in the format of our weekly meetings and all appears to be progressing fine. Our main speaker this past month was a 2014-15 Outbound exchange student Taylor Navi who spent the previous 12 months in Sweden. Despite the similarities to the Canadian landscape, he certainly saw a lot of cultural differences. Taylor met lots of people on his trips and has a strong global network. He felt that some of the lessons he learned from being away from home resulted in some strong leadership skills. There are no dress codes at school and washrooms are unisex. He did let us know he is not done his world travels as his plans are now to attend an University in Amsterdam. Some of the organizations we supported this past month included BRING (to support local efforts for the refugee family coming to Brighton); and a few international projects like the Peanut Butter project (a source of protein for young children); Faith’s Orphanage Fund (in the Caribbean’s) and the “Shelter Box International” (which provides portable tents and other necessities in disaster areas). Finally, in recognition of Bill & Delphine Patchett, who has spent countless hours on behalf of Rotary and the local county of Northumberland in fundraising over the past several decades, we made a donation to the Rotary Foundation which is working hard to finally eradicate polio and we are very close to achieving that world-wide goal. We are very excited as we begin to introduce “Early Act” to the local Brighton Public School. This is a younger version of the “InterAct” we started ta ENSS a few years
is limited). The cost is $5 each way and includes one transfer for the Trenton Public Transit System. Brighton provides a subsidy for the specialized service that’s been in place for years but no additional funding will be requested. “We’re hoping that the fares will help offset” the cost of operating a new system that incorporates “trips we’re already making into Brighton” -- between 200 and 250 a month, Ackers said. Those numbers are well above the 50 to 60 that had been the norm until two years ago. The pilot program will run for about six months, after which a decision will be made based on feedback and ridership, she said. Should council decide to make it permanent, “we would have to look at possibly adding some more funds, another vehicle or something along that line,” Ackers said. Making public transit widely available will enable Brighton residents to travel to Trenton for work, shopping, medical appointments, and other reasons. “Everybody is very excited about it, I think it will work,” Ackers said. “That’s how we started the public transit in Trenton ... We’re hoping the same with this.” Trenton began with a pilot program “and now we’re up to three routes running six days a week.” R0013677616

Youth walking along road offered ride by man, woman East Northumberland – A youth walking along the road in the area of County Roads 30 and 26 around 9 a.m. Jan. 28 reported he was asked by a man in a black SUV if he wanted a ride. The youth refused but didn’t tell his parents of the incident until the next day. Northumberland OPP said the driver was described as being of Asian descent and in his 30s. There was a female in the vehicle. In other OPP news, police attended a Cramahe Township home where a couple were arguing over the infidelity of one of them. Both agreed to remain calm for the night. Several calls were made to the OPP office in Campbellford Jan. 27 about alternative energy salespersons being overly aggressive. Police verified the strangers’ motives were not criminal in nature and informed them of the complaints they had received. Two investigations relating to found drugs and an assault were initiated at Warkworth Institution. A Colborne resident reported receiving an email Jan. 26 from a woman claiming to be moving into the area. She asked the resident to cash a cheque for her and to send her back most of the money. This was recognized as a fraud and police were contacted. No money was exchanged. A blue/white ZEEKO hydrofoil surfboard used for kite surfing was reported missing. Last seen at Presqu’ile Provincial Park in mid-December 2015, it’s valued at $2,000. Two investigations were launched at Warkworth Institution regarding an assault and a weapon made in prison that was found hidden in a cane. Police are investigating two incidents of an Internet service provider’s cable being cut at a Campbellford apartment building Jan. 27 and Jan. 30.Two youths were given trespass notices to a Brighton business Jan. 25 after attempting to steal items. Their parents were told what had happened. A Raglan Street home in Brighton was egged sometime the previous weekend.

Brighton man jailed for crash Belleville - A Brighton man was sentenced to two years in jail for his involvement in a fatal car crash near Belleville in 2013. Twenty-year-old Nicholas Semple was convicted in Belleville Integrated Court Friday of impaired driving causing death in December, 2015. Semple’s cousin, 26-year-old Aaron Knapman, was killed in July, 2013 after his vehicle, which Semple was driving, skidded off the road, rolled over and caught fire on Highway 401, near the Wallbridge-Loyalist Road exit. Photos from the scene at the time showed the vehicle piled against a highway sign, the fire having scorched the sign. Prior to sentencing, a victim impact statement from Knapman’s mother, Sherry Shephard, was read in court. The statement said Shephard missed her son, but doesn’t believe jail time is necessary for Semple. Justice Robert Scott said Semple “seems like a good kid,” but underscored the fact the conviction calls for a jail term. As well as the two-year jail term, Semple was given a seven-year driving prohibition, two years of which have already been applied.

Comedy main dish in countywide dinner theatre festival By John Campbell Warkworth – A half-dozen original solo shows performed across North America by the women who created them will be popping up in restaurants across Northumberland County this month. Two will be presented Feb. 6 at the Garden of Eatin in Warkworth. Billed as “The Two MILFs of Comedy,” the two 40-minute sets, “From MILF Life Crisis,” by Ann Marie Scheffler, and “The Happy Hockey MILF,” by Angela Maiorano-Thurston, are “a little risque, definitely for adults, [and] both hilarious,” said Sean Carthew, the owner of Ontario Street Theatre who put together the Northumberland County Dinner Theatre Festival. It begins Feb. 2 in Cobourg and ends Feb. 13 in Grafton. It was “tricky” arranging for “top-notch” Canadian female comics who have toured across Canada and the United States to appear in small venues, but he decided it was worth the attempt after the
dinner theatre he organized for Port Hope “went over really well,” he said. “I thought let’s give it a whirl and try all of Northumberland County.” But pop-up theatre as it’s known, because there is no set location, is “a risk” for the actors, restaurants and himself when the settings aren’t large. “Hopefully, it works and then we can keep doing things like this,” said Carthew, who was a professional actor for 15 years before getting out of the business for a spell. He returned to show business with the launch of Ontario Theatre Productions in Port Hope. “It’s been a great success,” he said. However, “when you’re a producer you have to have something for everybody so you can’t do 10 ‘On Golden Ponds.’” The shows include “Oneymoon” in Cobourg Feb. 2 and in Grafton Feb. 13 (The Village Inn), “A Road Less Travelled” Feb. 3 at Gore’s Landing (Pitchers Place) and “**** I’m in Love with You Again” Feb. 12 at Roseneath (Golden
Beach Resort). “Oneymoon,” starring and written by Christel Bartelse, is about a girl who gets left at the altar and so decides to marry herself, goes on her honeymoon and subsequently divorces herself. “A Road Less Travelled” features comic tales of growing up in Newfoundland by Wanda Carroll. **** I’m in Love with You Again” is about a girl going through the trials and tribulations of being married and becoming a mom. “Grimm’s Forest” (Feb. 1011 in Port Hope) by Joanna Chapman Smith differs from the others in that it features folk tales and music. All the shows are “fun” delivered “right at your doorstep,” in a venue where “you’re almost on stage with them,” Carthew said. “There are no divas, you can talk to them after the show.” Tickets are $50 for a threecourse meal and show. They can be purchased by visiting ontariostreettheatre@gmail. com or calling 905-885-8042.
Let the Memories and Traditions Continue. A move to Seasons means more time enjoying yourself and less time spent worrying.

MAKE 2016 YOUR HEALTHIEST YEAR
Our app gives you a head start on health.
Take a risk assessment and learn how to prevent heart disease and stroke at
Improving heart health need not be difficult Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death across the globe. According to the World Health Organization, ischaemic heart disease, in which blood supply to the heart is reduced, is the leading cause of death in middle- and high-income countries and the fourth-leading cause of death in low-income countries. Perhaps the most troubling fact about the prevalence of heart disease is that it can be largely preventable. The American Heart Association notes that there are several ways to easily improve heart health and avoid becoming one of the millions of people to succumb to heart disease. * Embrace aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise is essential to cardiovascular health. Daily aerobic exercise, which can be as simple as walking around the neighborhood, can help men and women lower their blood pressure, maintain a healthy weight and lower their bad
cholesterol, which can circulate in the blood and cause blockages that can lead to heart attack. * Adopt a low-sodium diet that's also low in cholesterol. Diet can be a friend or foe with regards to heart disease. A heart-friendly diet that's low in sodium and cholesterol can help you maintain healthy cholesterol levels as well as a healthy blood pressure. * Monitor your blood pressure. A blood pressure reading is a staple of many doctor visits, but men and women should monitor their blood pressure even when they aren't visiting their physicians. High blood pressure does not always produce symptoms, but that doesn't mean it isn't potentially deadly. High blood pressure is the leading cause of stroke and can contribute to heart and kidney disease. So be sure to monitor your blood pressure and discuss with your physician ways to lower high blood pressure.

Dear Editor: While I was pleased to read that Dr. Hrushy is appreciative of the work done by the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit (Letter to the Editor – Brighton Health Unit is Vital Element in Community, January 28, 2016), her letter included a few inaccuracies about the Health Unit’s work that I wanted to clarify. The HKPR District Health Unit has four offices, including Brighton, which serve the almost 180,000 residents of Northumberland County, the City of Kawartha Lakes, and Haliburton County. With such a large geographic area, it is not possible for the Health Unit to have an office in every community. Our mandate is to provide public health programs in all communities in our jurisdiction – not just those with an office location. Our staff are skilled at working with our different communities to identify the needs of residents and then provide exceptional programs and services. We work with our community partners to provide oral health services, sexual health clinics, immunization clinics, well water testing drop-offs, nutrition programs, and wellbaby clinics (to name just a few programs) in a variety of settings in our communities. The same can be said for our tick surveillance program. We have drop off locations in a number of communities for residents to submit suspect tickets, and we monitor for ticks and
Lyme disease in all areas of our jurisdiction. The Health Unit also works with veterinarians and physicians from all communities to provide information about trends and treatment. In 2015, the Health Unit was informed by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care that there would be no increase to the provincial share of our budget for the year, or the foreseeable future. As a result, staff have been looking for efficiencies across all of our programs, services, and administrative costs. This includes investigating alternative locations within Brighton to provide our public health programs and services to the eastern part of Northumberland County. Staff are investigating options and will be taking recommendations to our Board of Health at its March meeting. At this time, I do not know exactly what changes may be made to the location of the Health Unit office in Brighton. What I do know is that Brighton residents, physicians, veterinarians and others will continue to have access to the exceptional public health programs and services that they receive from HKPR District Health Unit. That is one thing that will not change. Lynn Noseworthy, MD, MHSc, FRCPC Medical Officer of Health Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit
Hugh O’Neil to be honoured Quinte West - One of the most respected politicians who ever held office in Quinte will be honoured in a special tribute at Queen’s Park this month. Hugh O Neil died peacefully at his Trenton home on Sept. 14, 2015, at the age of 79. The former teacher, businessman MPP and cabinet minister served from 1975 to 1995 and held several cabinet positions. Northumberland MPP Lou Rinaldi told Quinte West council Monday night he may find it tough to speak publicly about the man he and many others knew as “Hughie,” but he said he was honoured to be given the opportunity. The tribute will be held in the Legislature on Feb. 17 at 10:30 a.m. It can be watched live on the Parliament channel. Mayor Jim Harrison says Quinte West is arranging to have a bus service take members of the public at a cost so they can attend. Further details are expected soon, but calls to city hall and the clerk’s office can be made to find out when and where the bus or buses will stage for departure.

ing is about “meet and greet”. You don’t need to be part of a couple. It’s very healthful, getting us off of our couches. Together, people work up their metabolisms. Surveys show that only 15 % of Canadians get 150 minutes of exercise weekly.” In traditional line dancing, there are hundreds of dances centred on country music alone. Browne assembled 10 dances in combination steps. Within three weeks, with five dances, you are good to go/dance for three hours. Neat, huh? Members ranging in age from 40 to 90, tour the county events all summer long, cutting up the floor: “One Applefest, we danced to rock and roll on a Thursday at the curling club, Saturday in the park, to a city band, and Sunday at a fair, to country. As long as there is a beat we can dance to it. We teach kids on the spot, and they have a great time.” The value in physical and emotional health is practically therapeutic, Browne explains: “It is a positive feeling, a group activity. Life is a whole lot better when you can dance to music, to express yourself freely regardless of age, dress or weight. It’s all about having fun with people.” - Not unlike how she feels about her hometown. For information on Codrington Line Dancing’s season schedules, call Bonnie at 613 475 0915. Note: Winter classes in town: 1st and 3rd Wednesdays; 6:30 to 9:30; Brighton Masonic Hall Sundays; noon to 2 pm; The Arts Club (8 Loyalist Drive #3) (Admission is only $5 to both. Come celebrate with people of the county.) victorschukov@gmail.com
Brighton - Bonnie Browne has lived in Brighton all of her life, her ancestral roots deeply entrenched in the history of the town whose very name epitomizes cheer and optimism. Her grandfather – the last blacksmith of Brighton - retired in 1960 and converted his shop into a home which is still owned by the Taft lineage, and where Bonnie grew up. She now resides with her husband at the wooded end of Raglan Street where they run the Taft’s Auto Recycling facility. “We bought the place from my uncle back in 1977. Funny,” she adds with a grin, “the very invention that put my grandfather out of business is something that we now stack and crush.” Ironic justice, huh? “I am very proud to say that I wouldn’t live anywhere else,” said Browne, (nee Taft), 64. “People are friendly and care about each other.” She embodies the Brighton spirit by earnestly preserving its heritage. From 1990 to 2010, she interviewed the community’s seniors for six volumes of books published for posterity: • Brighton Apple Country • Brighton Monument to Past Generations • Presqu’ile • Brighton 100 Years of Railroad History • Brighton 1900 -1960 • Remembering the Village of Brighton; 1900 -1960 (an adder) As a former chair for the History Week Committee, she is still happy to give anyone a tour of the town’s tucked-in historical sites. In researching Brighton’s history in the Proctor files, she was astonished to find practically nothing on the first half of the 20th century. So she virtually rescued Brighton’s memories through the recollections of people who were actually there. And what’s changed since she was a little girl? “I would never believe in my wildest dreams that there would be almost as much population south of the track as in the downtown core. And Gosport was such a poor little fishing community.” Always the teacher, Browne has taken up a new torch: In 2009, Codrington, short on exercise programs, asked Browne if she would teach line dancing at the community centre. She agreed on the condition that she did it in a non-traditional way, experimenting with a program that would allow people to dance to any genre. From Line-dancing to chronicling the history of her homeJumping wholeheartedly into the enrichment town, Bonnie Browne is a Brightonian through and through. of locals’ wellbeing, Browne says, “Line danc- Photo by Cheryl Lafferty

Lakefront to operate Colborne wastewater plant for 12 weeks By John Campbell Cramahe Township – Lakefront Utility Services Inc. (LUSI) will take over management of the Colborne Wastewater Treatment Plant for a 12-week period to assess its infrastructure and staff. The Cobourg-based utility will undertake the pilot project at a cost of $12,000 to identify “efficiencies or deficiencies” in the plant’s operation and to make recommendations “that would fit in the larger picture of the operations department,” CAO Dan O’Brien told council Jan. 26. The plant, which was upgraded and expanded at a cost of $6.4 million two years ago, is staffed by two municipal employees who divide their time with the public works department. As neither are certified to complete regulatory reports, the municipality contracts someone from outside the area to perform the role of an Overall Responsible Operator (ORO) but his services will no longer be required once LUSI is put in charge. There will also be a reduction in hours of the township’s consulting engineer, so the cost of the project “will not exceed current expenditures,” O’Brien noted in a report.
Mayor Mark Coombs, who sits on Councillor Tim Gilligan agreed, adding LUSI’s board of directors, declared a “it might motivate some of our staff ” to conflict of interest and left the room become certified. It will also free up staff before discussions of the proposal took for other work in the township, he said. place. “It’s going to decide what we plan to do Councillor Ed Van Egmond was the lone council member to vote against the contract, asking “is there anything that Lakefront is going to bring to the table” that isn’t already being provided by the current ORO? “My concern is that this is going to become something that is going to stay here,” he said. Craig Brooks, LUCI’s manager of water systems, said the utility will essentially act as “a third party auditor” to determine what staff need “for their development.” It will also see if there is anything with the plant’s infrastructure that requires attention, he said. LUSI’s “continual presence even if it is only for three months will have long-term benefits,” Brooks said. The report “will outline the steps needed to keep operating the system with existing staff.” Deputy Mayor Sandra Arthur supported the project, saying one of the advantages to having Lakefront as the temporary Jacquie Arbuckle & Chris Herrington Representatives ORO is that it “can be here in a heartbeat” Sales Office: 1.800.263.2177 | jacquieandchris.ca in the event of an emergency.
moving forward,” Arthur said. “It’s definitely in our best interest to go ahead with the pilot project,” Councillor Don Clark said. “I can’t see any downside to it myself.”

Captain Pam Hohner, commanding officer of 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion RCACC, and senior members of her corps recently accepted a cheque for $3,000 from the Brighton Lions, represented by Astrida Jenkinson-Chalmers. The donation will go toward the cadets’ trip to Vimy Ridge in 2017. They have been raising money for more than a year and are now close to $20,000. The 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion RCACC raised $1,200 with its bottle drive in January and received generous donations from the Clothing Depot, Brighton Barn Theatre, Brighton and Colborne Legions, Barb Gale and Wilfred and Melba Pound in 2015. The corps hopes to take at least 35 to 40 cadets to Europe where they will tour several battlefields and cemeteries significant to Canadian military history and the battalion, including Juno Beach, Pegasus Bridge and Vimy Ridge.

Record number of Plungers brave the icy Trent River for the Polar Bear Plunge By Sue Dickens Campbellford – A record number of plungers braved the icy waters of the Trent River on a day when the temperatures reached what was by comparison a balmy 2 degrees Celsius. “We had 29 plungers,” said organizer Sharon Apted. “This is my
third year and it’s my best year yet certainly as far as numbers go.” The Auxiliary to the Campbellford Memorial Hospital event was as popular as ever with a big turnout of spectators lining the riverbank to watch. There were school buses set up as changing and warming stations and the Trent Hills Firefighters made sure everyone was safe both
in and out of the water. Promoted as more of a festival this year, the crowd cheered and did a lot of hand clapping encouraging the plungers as they, quite literally in some cases, dove into the Trent River. There was no ice on the water at Lions Beach Park so firefighters helped plungers down the slippery riverbank and gave them a hand
up when they climbed out, or in some cases, ran out. In keeping with their tradition of taking the plunge every year, the Ellis family was represented again leaping into the frigid waters in memory of their grandfather, well known and respected physician Dr. Tom Hackett. There were several new plungers too including Rob Milligan’s
brother Brad from Brighton and Jake Allard whose stepdad Earl McLean has been a plunger for years, but has had to bow due to health reasons. He emcees the fun now. No tally at press time but in the past the Polar Bear Plunge has brought in anywhere from $8,000 to $10,000 for the hospital here.
(Left) Rob Milligan, left, a teacher in Campbellford, has taken the plunge before and this time he convinced his brother Brad from Brighton, to join him for the first time. (Right) His facial expression says it all as Liam Govier, one of the youngest members of the Trent Hills Fire Department, took the plunge at the 24th annual Polar Bear Winter Festival. He was the last one to jump into the icy Trent River and his Superman outfit gave him the courage to do this - a first for him. Photo By Sue Dickens

Trent Hills Community Refugee Initiative nears its goal of $30,000 with Rotary donation By Sue Dickens Campbellford – Raising money and giving back to the community is what the Rotary Club of Campbellford does and their most recent donation was to the Trent Hills Community Refugee Initiative. Gathered for an informal meeting recently, the club invited representatives of the Initiative to talk about their progress. The result of that talk was a $2,000 donation to the group which brings them closer to their goal of $30,000. Sonny Lennon and David Pollack, volunteers with the seven-member steering committee were
there as was Dari Haddon, chair of the settlement committee. “We are now probably $5,000 to $6000 away from being able to say to the government we can have a family. When we get 80 per cent of it we can go to them with our plan,” said Lennon. At last count the Initiative, which has about 25 volunteers, had raised $23,600. “Dari is doing all the heavy lifting,” commented Pollack. Lennon agreed. “Dari has done a awful lot of work on the settlement committee which is really the nuts and bolts of bringing any refugee into this country to have a good support group. “Somebody has to step forward and do the things that need to be done,” Haddon told Rotary members. “Right now our biggest thrust is

Curlers ‘scramble’ at Faith Ride Memorial Interclub Bonspiel in Campbellford By Sue Dickens Campbellford – The Faith Ride Memorial Interclub Bonspiel returned to the Campbellford curling club after a six-year hiatus. The last time the bonspiel was hosted here was in 2010. “Faith Ride was an experienced curler who, after moving to Peterborough with her husband Jack, started the Ladies’ Interclub League. Faith passed away in June of 2008 but her family has kept her “curling” legacy going by sponsoring the annual bonspiel,” said Jackie Igleheart, who organized this year’s event. The bonspiel rotates to a different club each year. Teams from seven clubs participated including Ennismore, Lakefield, Peterborough Curling Club, Peterborough Golf and Curling Club (PGCC), Omemee, Campbellford and Keene. This was a cash bonspiel rewarding the top three teams in each draw and the overall winning team got their name on the Faith Ride trophy which travels from club to club each year.
The winning team took the late draw and position of “top overall team” and the curlers included Skip Debbie McCarthy of Campbellford; Vice Beth Goodge of the PGCC; Second Kim Ray from Ennismore; and Lead Wava Brown representing Keene. The reason there were curlers from different clubs is because organizers decided to try something new and make it a scramble event. “It was a terrific and successful day for all the ladies and the club. There were two full draws and two six-end games,” Igleheart noted. “Most exciting was the scramble mode adopted. Each team consisted of a different player from four other clubs, giving the ladies a great opportunity to curl and socialize with friends and curlers they have never met,” she said as she remarked on the fact there was “a unique lunch” served consisting of a salad bar and a build your own potato plate featuring seven toppings including chili. “It too was a huge hit with the ladies.” Igleheart acknowledged the bonspiel was a successful because of the help of many other people and sponsors. “A very special thank you to Jack Ride, the bonspiel sponsor
(Faith’s husband) and to Jennifer Ride (Faith and Jack’s daughter) who were able to enjoy the day curling and present the trophy to the McCarthy rink,” said Igleheart. “And a bonspiel doesn’t happen without the dedication and volunteers of club members,” she added as she thanked her committee which included Carol Burnham and Sandy Chapman. Additional volunteers on the bonspiel day were Dave Burnham and Kathy Chamberlain who worked hard in the
kitchen. Bev McComb and Darlene Brown did the registration and scoring, “and what a fabulous job they did keeping everything organized.” The ice as usual was great “thanks to our icemaker Al Lowe. And thanks to Glenn Brubacher who served at the bar. “Debbie Samoy, a committee member, stepped up and deserves huge kudos for leading the kitchen and working tirelessly prior to and during the actual bonspiel to make it a memorable day.”

Bus Liners bag a pair in ETA action scoreboard. The coaches needed the intermission in order to set the boys straight and get them focused, they responded within the first 90 seconds scoring twice. The Wolves mounted an attack of their own but as good teams often are able to accomplish, the CrossFit Belleville Bantams kept the Wolves to the perimeter of the ice and only allowed one goal to slip past Ethan Taylor who was in net for the Devils. The third period would be all Quinte and they would skate to a 5-1 victory. Goals were scored by Emmet Peirce, Daniel Panetta, Jake Campbell, Michael Andrews and a short-handed hard working beauty by Nolan Seto while assists went to Jake Campbell(2), Emmet Pierce(2), Daniel Panetta(2), Dalton Bancroft and Logan White. Next up for the CrossFit Belleville Bantams is a weekend tilt with the York Simcoe Express who currently reside in second place in the West ETA Division, then off to Peterborough on Sunday to face the Pete’s to round out the regular season. The path required to advance to the OMHA Finals is not yet known but the Red Devils are getting focused on finishing the OMHA Playoffs with an OMHA Gold Medallion and thus have changed up some routines in preparation for a long victorious journey. Madison Excavating - Minor Atom The Madison Excavating Minor Atoms further secured their ETA east lead with 4 points this weekend in league play with 2 wins. The Minor
Atoms travelled to the Peterborough Memorial Centre to face the Petes. The Devils wasted no time getting on the scoreboard and closed up the first period with a 3-0 lead. Scoring in the first were Liam Philip, Brody Partridge and Ben Vreugdenhil, assisted by Deacon Ellis, Braedyn Rogers, Philip and Kirk Stevenson. While the Petes managed to sneak one passed the Devils in the second, the Red Devils answered back with another 3 of their own. Scoring one each were Landon Wright, Jared Langdon and Philip, assisted by Rogers, Stevenson and Gage Butcher. Nolan Donnelly added one more in the third, assisted by Partridge to give the Devils the 7-1 win. Glen McInnes was solid between the pipes for the Red Devils. Looking to add to their winning streak and their first place position, the Red Devils hosted the Clarington Toros at RCAF on Sunday. The Devils were fast out of the gate and made it a 1-0 game before the end of the first with an unassisted goal by Wright. The Toros tied it up early in the second but the Red Devils responded with 3 goals of their own in the second to take a 4-1 lead. Scoring for the Devils were Langdon (2) and Donnelly, assisted by Wright, Carson Campbell and Butcher. In the third the Toros tried to battle back with 3 goals of their own but the Devils were undeterred and tucked in 3 more, includ-

ing an empty netter to take the 7-4 win. Scoring in the third for the Devils were Thomas Kuipers, Butcher and Langdon, assisted by Partridge, Vreugdenhil, Philip and Stevenson. Dean Spry stood tall in the net for the Devils with some key saves. The Madison Excavating Minor Atoms are back in action this week hosting the Central Ontario Wolves in Marmora on Wednesday at 7:00pm and will travel to face the Wolves again in Lindsay on Saturday. Bonn Law - Atom The Bonn Law Quinte Red Devils Major Atom Team earned three out of four points this weekend in league play. On Saturday, the Devils travelled to Lindsey where they took on the Central Ontario Wolves. Tucker McKichan looked sharp in the net early in the game, turning away a few good scoring chances by the Wolves in the first period. The Devils found another gear in the second period, and scored 4 unanswered goals. The Wolves answered back with one of their own before the end of the second, but the Devils lit the lamp three more times in the third to win the game 7-1. Scoring for the Devils in the win was Cal Uens (2), Nick Oke, Ethan Quick, Christopher Brydges, Ben Lynch and Jack Dever. Assisting on the goals was Tyson Carr (2), Bellavance, Dever, Oke, Lynch, Uens,
Spencer Cranley and Joey Coates. Tucker McKichan stood tall in net to earn the win. On Sunday, the Red Devils were at home to the Ajax-Pickering Raiders. The Raiders opened up the scoring with two minutes left in the first period. The Red Devils answered back early in the second period when Cal Uens scored a shorthanded goal on a pass from Vince Bellavance. It took just 30 seconds for the Raiders to take the lead back, but this time Ethan Quick tied the game at two on a pass from Ethan Osborne. Once again, the Raiders took the lead just over a minute later, and added another before the end of the second to take a two goal lead heading into the third period. It took just three minutes in the third period for the Devils to tie the game, on goals from Spencer Cranley and Uens, with his second short-handed tally of the game. One more time, it was the Raiders who regained the lead with just over six minutes to play. With the extra attacker, the Devils managed to tie the game with 32 seconds left, as Cal Uens completed the hat-trick in the game. Bellavance added two more assists in the game, while Ben Lynch (2), Ethan Osborne, Ben Danford and Uens also added helpers on the goals. Jacob Brown earned the tie in net.

Deloro filmmakers nominated for awards at the London International Film Festival
By Margriet Kitchen
Deloro – “We are just so, so excited, mainly to bring the story of Deloro to the world. We are also trying to raise more local awareness, and have hoped to highlight a legacy for the young people for the future.” These are the words of local filmmaker Laura Forth, half of the husband/wife production team who created the film Lest We Forget – The Price of Freedom. The film has been screened and nominated in the category of best director of a short documentary, as well as the scientific and educational award. The world’s first digital Cenotaph in Deloro, which Laura and James campaigned for, can be scanned with a smart phone or other digital device to take you to the online film, Lest We Forget. “We dreamt the project up ourselves after moving to Deloro in 2011. We saw a lovely home advertised, at 1/10 the price of a similar home in Toronto, and in such a quaint picturesque little village. We saw a man going along our street with a Geiger counter because of the level of radiation. We started going to public meetings regarding the pollution in the Deloro mine
area and asked ourselves, what have we done, where have we moved to?” Because of the pollution concerns, they learned about stellite and cobalt. “With the interest in the environmental impact of these metals, we started learning of the importance of the mine to the allied war effort in both world wars,” stated Forth. Commenting on a new beginning for Deloro with the successful environmental cleanup, Laura stated, “We are thrilled to be part of the rejuvenation of the village. We wanted to change people’s perception of Deloro. It is a terrific place to live with a sense of pride. “It was a pivotal moment when we connected that if it wasn’t for Deloro and refining of stellite and cobalt we might have lost WWII. Canada upgraded the Deloro refinery to make up for the loss of one in Belgium. We also focussed on the army aspect because of the involvement of Veteran’s Affairs Canada in the making of the film.” “We think it’s a very heroic story, the miners, all the local men and women who went off to the two world wars, everyone you knew had someone who went off. Like so many others, the village gave the best

and brightest, and the ones left behind did a heroic thing in the mines,” stated Forth. Both Laura and James have a background as professional artists, as well as various theatre positions over the past 20 years,
and have taught at Toronto Film College in history, digital editing, screen writing, etc. “We would love to have schools and young people involved in projects and learning, the digital aspect makes it interesting
to young people. We would like to work with area youth at risk, to help teach television skills, to nurture enthusiasm for positive models of behaviour, promote teamwork, and community involvement.”
Just after Christmas, the couple learned that their film would be screened at the London IFF, and that it was also nominated for the two awards. They have also subPlease see “Deloro” on page B2

County policing remains key issue
By Jack Evans
Police services and costs remain a key issue for most municipal politicians in Hastings County. While not discussed at any length at the January meeting, correspondence in the agenda included a copy of a letter to all member municipalities from county CAO Jim Pine, reporting on a large area in Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry under an apparently workable OPP arrangement, with estimated costs for Hastings of a similar plan at about $10 million. The letter asks that each member respond to indicate support for a formal request or not. The deadline for response was Jan. 28. His letter had stated, in part: “Before moving forward on this issue, it is essential that we know the level of local municipal interest in exploring a county-wide OPP contract.” It also states that a decision at this point is not binding. Also in the agenda was a copy of a lengthy letter from a concerned citizen, David Daunter, of Marmora, who is worried about potential long-range costs for OPP policing and suggested a broader approach to include the
County agreement boosting broadband
By Jack Evans
county’s own police force or a deal with established municipal forces at Belleville or Trenton and even a broader region to include Prince Edward County. Police costs have taken such a toll on Stirling-Rawdon in the past few years that Mayor Rodney Cooney reported that his municipality is financially “non-sustainable.” He cited a loss of $6 million over the past three years owing to policing costs. Warden Rick Phillips and several other members of council pledged what support they could in terms of resolutions or meetings with senior provincial officials as necessary.
Strongly recommended by CAO Jim Pine after lengthy negotiations, Hastings County Council Thursday passed a bylaw to enhance Internet connections for County buildings across the region. The deal, which offers figbre-optic connectivity through Bell Canada, was arranged through EORN (Eastern Ontario Regional Network) which has been working for years to get Internet services throughout all rural areas in eastern Ontario. Some 100 municipalities joined in a competitive bid call to make the arrangements
with Bell Canada. These resulted in improved connectivity at reduced cost, said Pine. The first phase of the project will see improved broadband access to 14 specific sites across the county. These include municipal offices, emergency service headquarters and long term care facilities like Centennial Manor and hospitals. From these, WiFi service can be expanded to include downtown areas where applicable. Municipal governments, especially, will be able to access fibre-based broadband Internet with download
and upload speeds up to 100 megabits per second and high-speed DSL services at more affordable prices. Other efficiencies are included in the project as well including cloud-based computing. “We are thrilled to be part of this initiative, “ said Warden Rick Phillips. “Increased high-speed connections to our facilities across the county will help us improve delivery of services and reduce operating costs.” Cost for any capital investments involved in the project will be born by Bell Canada.

LIFESTYLES
The Good Earth: An Alternate Arboreal Assortment
On its own-some, I expect the Crimson King Norway maple (and its cousin the Royal Red) is not a bad tree to see. However, when I drive through some suburbs and see row upon row of street plantings augmented by the same front yard “accent” tree, it becomes a bit much. Gentle Reader, I’m not going to get up on a soapbox and rail on about native trees. I, myself, do prefer native trees or their descendants but I’m not against “imports.” Can you imagine our landscapes without magnolias, peaches, gingkoes, horse chestnuts or weeping willows? What I, myself, like to see is diversity, especially in a neighbourhood. On an estate, a colonnade of majestic oaks might present an architectural statement denoting endurance, perhaps announcing the substantial nature of the owners. It just doesn’t work in the suburbs for several reasons. Imagine if you have a monoculture suburban forest and a disease or pest comes knocking? It doesn’t
have to be a catastrophic infection or infestation. In Trenton, during a hot, humid summer, you can see a certain west end neighbourhood with ugly white mildew coating canopy after canopy of the Crimson Kings. The trees won’t die but, certainly, their aesthetic appeal is smothered. A second reason is that often trees are selected based on their “cleanliness”; in other words, no fruit or seeds to clutter up sidewalks and front lawns. As a result, many of them are male cultivars, which can be problematic as they dust everyone and everything with allergy-irritating pollen. The primary reason, imho, for not planting dozens of the same tree is boredom. It is almost depressing to walk down a street of nice homes that are mono-chromatically cladded (except where an adventuresome person might have a red or purple- excuse me, burgundy or plum- painted front door) and decorated with either a honey-locust or little leaf linden on the front lawn . My real estate friends tell me that this makes the property
attractive for resale. GR, I like lindens and honeylocusts but they seem to be the default second choice after the Norway maple has been planted. Permit me to suggest a few others to add a bit of interest in your urban forest. Hornbeam. You’ll find two native trees with this name. One is the Hop Hornbeam, which is known better as ironwood, Ostrya virginiana, although the books are insidiously erasing our old familiar names from tithe lexicon. It has its uses, especially if you have a large-ish property and want to have a bit of an arboretum, but it is not especially “pretty.” The American hornbeam, aka, Blue Beech and ironwood, has almost identical characteristics except it has the following refinements- deep green leaves that turn a brilliant orange with yellow undertones in the fall and it will withstand the urban environment. Sugar Maple and Silver Maple. It wonders me that folks love to walk through old city sections with mas-
sive sugars and stately silvers yet shy away from planting them on their own property. “Too slow “and “Too messy.” Consider this, GR, for whom are you planting a tree, the real estate agent or your children? If you answered the latter, then you might also want to take a look at the massive Sycamore or American Planetree, Platanus occidentalis. It will stretch up 90’ and spread out 70’ or so. The leaves look like broad but dowdy maple leaves without much to write about in terms of fall colour. But, oh, the bark on this beauty is what will make you bring it home. As a young tree, the exfoliating bark implies it is a suffering, even dyeing, plant. However, as maturity progresses the peeling bark exposes tans, creams, ochres, khakis that are gorgeous to look at. You need a big yard. If you don’t’ have a big yard, then look at serviceberry, Amelanchier canadensis. A trim little thing that in the wintertime looks a bit like a sugar maple until you notice the alternate branching, thin pointed buds
Dan Clost and diminutive, almost slender proportions. The leaves unfurl to apple look-alikes with very similar fall colourings. Small “apples” will attract goldfinches and cedar wax wings. There are many others that your research....wait; you are taking time during these dreary winter months to gen up on your options? Other choices might include Ivory Silk lilac tree, tulip tree, magnolia (shrub and standard), Chinese dogwood, and so on. Have some fun, and spruce up your urban forest.

OPINION
Take nothing for granted when flying This is the season for southern sojourns, when so many in our workplaces and neighbouroods are winging their way south, so it’s time for a cautionary tale. Anyone who has ever flown knows the, ahem, joys of ever-shrinking seat size, of legroom, meals you have to pay for (major credit card only, thank you) and often surly flight attendants among myriad other debasements foisted on us by the big airlines. But, if you’ve flown enough, you know too of the hazards that are inherent with riding aloft at four five or six nautical miles in the sky in an aluminum tube. It can be a rough ride up there. In recent weeks, we were reminded of one simple rule of the experience flier. Keep your damn seatbelts buckled. Seven people were taken to hospital after an American Airlines passenger jet made an emergency landing in St. John’s, N.L., Sunday night following severe turbulence. “I thought we were going down,” said passenger Jordan Case, of Plano, Texas. About four hours into the flight, the
plane suddenly dropped and rolled toward one side, Case said. He said people were screaming and crying as flight attendants scrambled to help other injured flight attendants and passengers at the back of the plane. “It was like a movie.” It’s not the first time in the last while that turbulence was bad enough to injure passengers. In December, turbulence forced Air Canada Flight 88 to divert to Calgary during its journey from Shanghai to Toronto. The turbulence was severe enough to send 21 passengers to hospital. Coming back from a recent flight from Vancouver – well, going and coming, actually – we experienced turbulence over the Rockies. No small wonder, there. Winds aloft are bound to be bumpy over the jagged peaks of the mountains, so the seatbelt light was on much of the way. While sitting near some novice fliers, I overheard one say to another he felt there wasn’t any need when “these are just little bumps… Hell, these planes are meant to take a lot more.” Sure thing, Ace, until the plane
drops 1,000 feet in an instant and you and your beer are suddenly weightless, only to have gravity say hello! in a helluva hurry when the plane “bottoms out” at the end of the free fall. That’s when people, laptops and meal trays go flying and you go boom. I recall a flight back in the mid `70s on an Air Canada DC-9 flight out of Moncton, bound for Montreal, when a couple of notable things happened. First, I had just been served the best steak I’d ever been treated to in economy on an AC flight (back when they served meals on just about every flight, regardless of length) and had just tucked into it when the plane suddenly violently jerked to port and dove. I mean it went into a controlled, sharp dive without warning and everyone’s dinner tray slid off onto the floor or went momentarily weightless (except mine, which I prevented from departing by spearing said perfect steak with my knife and fork as it was heading for my neighbour’s lap.) Next came screams and shouts as people thought for sure we were auguring in somewhere around Bathurst
for the big one. Oxygen masks began popping out of the ceiling panels (yes, they really do that and it’s quite something to see) and people began scrambling to put them on. Not me, for some odd reason. I could still breathe quite normally and, again, I had a great steak in front of me and wasn’t about to waste it. Ahead of me, a fellow was furiously scratching and clawing and pounding on the panel over his head as his mask hadn’t deployed. I suggested he calm down, as there didn’t appear to be a problem breathing. He did. Pilot came on and explained we’d been cruising about 32,000 feet when there was a sudden loss of cabin pressure owing to a blown seal of some sort (later found out it was a cargo door seal – a recurring problem on DC-9s at that time). We had shot down to 10,000 feet where it’s safe in an unpressurized aircraft. Problem was, the air at 10,000 feet is like the Tilt-a-Whirl and it was a rocky ride, indeed. Pilot had a choice, continue on to Montreal like that or turn back to Moncton. Back we went. Still it was a damn fine steak, all
Chris Malette in all, and yes, I’d had my seatbelt fastened the entire time. One stewardess, as they were called way back in the days of Pterodactyl Air, was slightly injured, but we all landed safely. Point is, flying is something that’s become workaday and routine for many, but simple common sense and patience should be as common as a boarding pass when flying. After all, there’s nothing remotely natural about soaring through the air in a metal tube.

Meeting the Budweiser Clydesdales in St. Louis, Missouri
By John M. Smith With the approaching “Super Bowl,” I not only look forward to the big football game itself, but also the newest Budweiser commercial featuring their Clydesdales. After all, these commercials have become so popular over the last few “Super Bowls” that they’ve emerged as one of the day’s highlights. I particularly remember last year’s awesome commercial about the “Lost Puppy” that’s rescued from a wolf and returned to the farm by the Clydesdales. It was Super Bowl Sunday’s most popular ad! I had the good fortune to tour the Anheuser-Busch Brewery in St. Louis and meet those awesome Clydesdales on my last visit, and although there’s nothing wrong with an informative brewery tour, the real hit on this one is those gigantic horses that weigh in at about 2,000 pounds (a ton)! I visited the Budweiser Clydesdale Paddock and Stables, the historic brick and stain-glassed stable built on site in 1885, and here I had a “meet and greet” with one of the world-famous Budweiser

Clydesdales. It was a great photo op! I was told that there are teams of these horses that are on tour throughout the country, and 8 of these mammoth animals are hitched up at one time, but each “team” actually consists of 10 horses (to provide alternatives for the hitch when necessary). I discovered that all the Clydesdales that are selected for this promotional “work” have to be of a certain size and have the blaze of white on the face and the 4 white stocking feet.

I learned that this tradition all began just after Prohibition when August Anheuser Busch, Sr. was presented a gift by his son of a team of Clydesdales pulling a red, white, and gold beer wagon that carried the first case of post-Prohibition beer from the St. Louis brewery. His dad immediately recognized the advertising Our travel writer meets a Clydesdale at the Budweiser Clydesdale Stables in St. Louis. and promotional potential of this gift, and these “special deliveries” by also toured the St. Louis brewhorse-drawn carriage contin- ery itself, and I discovered that ued.

100 Men Who Care Quinte boost hospice coffers
Belleville – These men just keep upping the generosity ante. The staff and board of directors of Hospice Quinte happily received a donation of $11,500 from the 100 Men Who Care Quinte fundraising group on Monday, Jan. 25. This marks the first large donation of the year for the agency. “It’s wonderful to see the support for Hospice Quinte and palliative care in our community. It is through these kinds of generous donations that Hospice Quinte is able to provide services and programs free of charge to patients and their families,” said Helen Dowdall, Hospice’s executive director. “We are grateful for this donation which will go towards expanding and enhancing our children’s bereavement programs.” Hospice Quinte is a volunteer based organization with more than 120 active volunteers serving the Belleville, Quinte West, and South Hastings region. Hospice Quinte provides a wide range of services, all free of charge, to terminally ill individuals, their caregivers and families. Patients are offered support in local hospitals, long term care facilities and their homes. Volunteers support families by providing companionship and by providing a break to caregivers. Hospice Quinte also offers
a variety of bereavement programs to the Quinte region, in addition to individual, group, and children support programs. In the last fiscal year Hospice Quinte provided 10,000 hours of hospice palliative care to more than 400 clients and patients in the community. Seventy per cent of its operating budget is made up through fundraising initiatives and private donations such as this. “It is this strong community support that allows us to continue our vital work in the Quinte region,” added Dowdall. “Hospice Quinte is grateful for all donations from organizations, companies and individuals.” Anyone looking for more information is urged to contact the office at 613-9666610 or visit www.hospicequinte.ca . The 100 Men Who Care Quinte group formed last year. The club aims to bring at least 100 men together on a quarterly basis and choose a charity to support. Then, each man in the group is encouraged to donate $100 for that charity. For more information, including how to join, visit www.100menwhocarequinte. com. There’s also a similar 100 Women Who Care Quinte group. Those interested in the women’s club can visit www.100womenquinte. com .

Teen injured in crash Stirling-Rawdon – Police here say a teenaged boy was transported to hospital in Toronto in serious condition after a collision on a rural road last weekend. Police for Stirling-Rawdon and other emergency crews were called to Anson Road, near Carmel in Rawdon Township, Friday night after the car driven by a local 16 year old boy veered off the road and struck a tree. Police said the teen was taken to Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto where he was listed in serious but stable condition. Stirling-Rawdon Police Chief Dario Cecchin says, although the cause is not known at this time, it does not involve alcohol or drugs. No further details of the crash were provided by police.

The Sheepdogs’ tour of Canada will stop at the Empire The tour is in support of their new album Future NostalTheatre on Tuesday, March 8. gia, a followup to The Sheepdogs’ 2012 award-winning self-titled LP. The lead single from the new album, Downtown, was recently a top-five hit on Canadian rock radio for 10 weeks. The new single, I’m Gonna Be Myself, has already climbed into the top 10. The video for the song, directed by Sean Cartwright, pays homage to motorcycle movies from the ’60s and ’70s. The Saskatoon-bred “boogie” rockers have risen steadily in popularity since forming in 2006. The Sheepdogs consider their style to be somewhere between the riff heavy bombast of Led Zeppelin and the melodies and harmonies of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. After a number of independent releases, the band graced the cover of Rolling Stone in 2011 by winning the publication’s “Choose The Cover” competition, becoming the first unsigned act ever to do so. During the competition, the band appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and performed at both Bonnaroo Music Festival and Osheaga Festival. In 2012, the group won three Juno Awards: Rock Album of the Year, Best New Group and Single of the Year. For more ticket information visit www.themepiretheatre.com

Feed the Meter in Belleville raises $29,163
By Stephen Petrick
Belleville -- On most mornings, about 30 students attend the breakfast program at Prince of Wales public school. They can fuel up on toast, cereal and other healthy food before the bell rings at 9:15 a.m. “It’s extremely important,” said Tricia Wormington, who co-ordinates the program out of the central Belleville school. “It gives the stu-
dents a chance to have something to eat to prepare themselves for the day in the classroom.” The breakfast program on Tuesday, Jan. 26 was a little different as it featured several guests, who were there to announce the proceeds of the 2015 Feed the Meter campaign. The big cheque that was hauled out showed the campaign raised $29,163.20. That money will go to meal programs just like the one at Prince of Wales.
The Feed the Meter campaign is part of the Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation’s Food for Learning program. The money is raised with help from Belleville, Quinte West and Prince Edward County. All three municipalities stop collecting change from downtown parking meters during December. Instead, change dropped into those meters is considered a donation to the program. Belleville’s contribution this year was $11,300. Prince Edward County’s was $2,159.15 and Quinte West’s was $6,554. The mayors of the three communities were all on hand to reveal the news. This was the seventh year of the fundraisers

and the money continues to go to good you. Last year alone, Food for Learning programs provided 978,333 meals and snacks to 14,283 students in Hastings and Prince Edward counties. That’s refreshing news for educators like Wormington, who see the benefit of breakfast programs every day in school. She said the idea that students learn better when their bellies are full is no myth. “It helps them be all around better prepared for the day,” she said, looking at a classroom’s worth of energetic kids who were sitting at tables and finishing meals in the moments before the morning bell rang.

Among those pictured with him are (from left) Brooklyn, Hailey, Cobi, Jada, Malaki and Matthew.

Valentine’s Frugal ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day A day set aside to shower a loved one with gifts and touching words of affection, Valentine’s Day brightens the often gloomy month of February. Established centuries ago with origins shrouded in mystery, Valentine’s Day has evolved into one of the most popular — and expensive — days of the year. Many couples celebrate Valentine’s Day with cards, gifts and nights out on the town, and such celebrations can stretch budgets. Coming on the heels of post-holiday
bills, Valentine’s Day can feel like a costly prospect. Yet, even those on a budget can enjoy a special day to remember without breaking the bank. The following are several frugal ways to enjoy Valentine’s Day. • Create your own greeting card. It can be challenging to find cards that offer just the right sentiments. Sometimes cards seem distant, too risqué or overly sentimental. Instead, create your own card. Find a decorative blank card or make one from card stock. Search

Cupid’s choice!
through your digital photos and print one of the two of you together. Glue on a paper heart border, and then jot down some affectionate sentiments. • Cleverly wrap favorite chocolate. Chocolate is synonymous with Valentine’s Day, and it’s easy to spend a lot on gourmet chocolates without even knowing if your valentine will like what’s inside the box. Stick to what you know he or she likes, even if it’s a simple chocolate bar from a convenience store. Buy a few and then wrap them in a fancy box
with ribbon. • Go out for a small bite to eat. If you’re concerned about the cost of an expensive dinner out or anticipate being restricted to a certain menu, plan to dine at home. You can opt to go out for cocktails prior or head to a café for dessert and cappuccino afterward. This way you’ll still get the experience of going out without being forced to overspend. • Purchase a rosebush. Bouquets of roses are traditional gifts for Valentine’s Day. However, thanks to the increased

Valentine’s demand, the cost of roses tends to increase as Valentine’s Day draws nearer. If you want to save money but still give roses, buy a plant that blooms each year. Buy a rosebush and plan to put it in the garden come spring when all danger of frost is gone. • Turn older jewelry new again. Diamonds and other jewelry can be costly. If a new piece simply isn’t in the budget, consider repurposing an older piece of jewelry that isn’t worn as often. It’s amazing what a new setting on a ring can look like or how stones on a seldom-used necklace can be turned into fashionable stud earrings. If you have a good amount of mismatched gold jewelery lying around, you may be able to sell it or have it melted down and turned into a beautiful new creation.
