Committee preparing for the loss of eight doctors in West Northumberland

By John Campbell

News - Cramahe Township - The West Northumberland Physician Recruitment Committee has a major challenge: ďŹ nding replacements for eight family doctors who are expected to retire within four years. “These retirements will have a direct impact on over 12,000 residents if recruitment does not occur,â€? Tracy West, the committee’s project manager, told council last week. “The committee is working with many of these doctors to ensure that a succession plan’s in place,â€? she added. “Planning is really imperative. Sometimes it can take up to two years to recruit a new family physician.â€?

Adding to the difďŹ culty is that, with “changing practice styles ‌ we may need to recruit two doctors to replace every one doctor who is retiring.â€? Newer physicians are also “interested in joining existing groups and not necessarily starting in their own ofďŹ ce space,â€? West said. The mandate of the committee, formed in 2001, is to meet the primary health-care of residents in Cobourg, Port Hope, and the townships of Cramahe, Hamilton and Alnwick-Haldimand. Funded entirely by the ďŹ ve municipalities, it identiďŹ es and recruits family physicians who “would ďŹ t in well in our communities,â€? co-chair Randy Oliver said.

Drivers losing control of vehicles results in roads being temporarily closed

YOU R INDEPENDENT GROCER

News - Brighton - Incidents investigated by Northumberland OPP last week included an 83-year-old man being taken to hospital by paramedics for treatment of minor injuries after he lost control of his vehicle on Highway 401 near the Colborne exit around 11:30 a.m. January 28. The car struck guardrails on both sides. Both westbound lanes were closed for an hour. The Cobourg resident was charged with careless driving. A driver escaped being injured after losing control of a car on Lawson Road around 9 p.m. and striking a hydro pole January 26. The road was closed for three hours while hydro lines were repaired. Northumberland OPP media relation’s ofďŹ cer Constable Steve Bates said a Brighton resident reported receiving an email supposedly from Revenue Canada stating she would be eligible for a $577 rebate if she ďŹ lled in the attached forms. She became suspicious when asked to provide credit card information and called Revenue Canada who conďŹ rmed it was a fraud. OfďŹ cers responded to a domestic dispute at a Cramahe Township home around 10 a.m. January 29. A 22-yearold man was arrested and charged with spousal assault. Names were withheld to protect the identity of the victim.

Northumberland OPP, at the request of police in British Columbia, went to a Brighton home January 30 to check on the well-being of a 45-year-old man “who had posted a picture of hanging himself on social mediaâ€? around 1:45 a.m., Bates said. OfďŹ cers determined the male lived in Quebec and police there found the Drummondville man to be in good health. No reason was given for the post. OfďŹ cers attended a Brighton home January 26 after the resident discovered a confused elderly man at her door. The 86-year-old, who lived next door, was turned over to family members. A ten-year-old Brighton boy called 911 January 27 because his mother was making him go to the doctor. Police spoke to him about misuse of the emergency number. The next day an infant in Brighton playing with the home phone inadvertently dialed 911.

Correction

An article on council’s appointee to the Brighton Police Services Board that appeared in the January 29 edition gave the wrong ďŹ rst name for new member Derek Jeffreys. The Independent regrets the error.

Recruitment Emergency plan a new lesson for councillors needed to replace doctors a plan to bring in more doctors. In preparing for the future it has prepared a fouryear budget. The annual budget was set at roughly $53,500. Cramahe, as the smallest of the ďŹ ve West Northumberland municipalities, has been asked to contribute almost $5,565, or 10.4 per cent of the total budget. It’s a 35 per cent increase over 2014’s contribution but translates into less than one dollar per capita. “Your municipality is well-positioned to meet future health-care needs,â€? West said. Cobourg, as the largest of the ďŹ ve municipalities, is looking at a bill of $17,065, or 32 per cent of the total. Cramahe council will deal with the request at budget time. West told council that having an adequate number of physicians “is not only a health issue, it’s also an economic development issue.â€?

current ďŹ eld ofďŹ cer with Emergency Management Ontario who has been sitting on the committee for many years, said that in small communities like Brighton, the control group is often the same as the committee. In Brighton’s case, the mayor replaces the two council representatives in the case of an emergency. “The emergency plan deďŹ nes who does what,â€? Frost said. Anyone interested in the contents of the emergency response plan can ďŹ nd it on the <brighton.ca> website or in the municipal ofďŹ ce or library. Kropf-Hedley said her role as a ďŹ eld ofďŹ cer is to provide advice and training to ensure Brighton is ready in the case of an emergency such as a train derailment, gas explosion, ooding, etc. “In the event of an emergency, we offer advice re-

Kropf-Hedley announced her retirement and her replacement at the next meeting will be Lisa Harvey.

The committee also leads efforts to retain family physicians currently practising in the area, and to create succession plans for those retiring “to ensure the continuity of care for all the patients.� It is “one of the most successful recruitment models in the province,� Oliver said. “We continue to have a very high retention rate,� West said. Last year it assisted with transition of plans for two retiring physicians and found replacements for both of them, ensuring continuity of care for more than 2,500 patients on their rosters. West Northumberland’s population “is one of the oldest in the province, if not Canada,� and as it continues to age as well as grow in size, the demand for family physicians “will only increase,� West said. The committee is “well aware� of an increase in the number of residents looking for family physicians and it’s working on

Statistics for 2014 show crime on the decline in Brighton By John Campbell

News - Brighton - There was less crime committed in Brighton last year than in 2013 and what has been the average for the past three years. Even though calls for service were up slightly, at 2,292, compared to 2,270 the previous year, they were well below the three-year average of 2,434. More important, the number of incidents involving break and enter, mischief, theft, and assaults showed a steady decline, according to statistics compiled by Northumberland OPP and presented at Monday’s meeting of Brighton Police Services Board. The largest drop, year to year, was in assaults, which fell to 44 in 2014, 18 fewer than in 2013, and nine below the three-year average of 53. Thefts were down, with 37 reported last year, compared to 48 in 2013 and the three-year average of 59, while break-ins plunged from 37 to 21 (the

three-year average was 33). One of the thefts involved the taking of a small safe from the office at Northumberland County’s landfill site sometime in early December. The police report for the month said “a fairly large quantity of cash and cheques� was taken.

Phil Pike, the acting inspector for the detachment, told the board the investigation is ongoing “and there are no suspects at this point.� There was a slight decline in acts of mischief, 53 in 2014, the fewest in four years, and just below the threeyear average of 57.

“Any explanation for the downward trend?� Mayor Mark Walas asked. “It’s across the country, across the province,� replied Pike, who speculated lower unemployment might be a factor. Whatever the reason, it was “good news� to Walas.

Councillor Roger McMurray presented statistics he had gathered from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing’s performance measures for different municipalities in the area which pointed to Brighton being “a great place to live crime-wise.�

Brighton legal strategy out in the open By Joyce Cassin

News - Brighton - It was a quick vote on bringing Brighton’s defence on Ministry of Environment charges out into the open. Councillor John Martinello moved that correspondence from Templeman Menninga dated December 28, 2014, be released to the public. The letter deals with the municipali-

ty’s strategy in the upcoming MoE court date over charges relating to ammonia exceedances of the wastewater pollution control plant dating back to 2012. According to the letter, Jennifer Savini of Templeman Menninga states that the municipality may be able to establish a defence based on taking all reasonable steps to “prove due diligence� by “establishing that the municipality made

continuing, earnest and widespread efforts to address the problems.� The Crown attorney “was prepared to accept a guilty plea� on three of the five counts on fines of $5,000 per count. “As reported in our pre-trial report of September 29, 2014, we had a judicial pre-trial before a Justice of the Peace in which we were given an opportunity to present the municipality’s concerns to

the Crown and to discuss a due diligence defence,� stated Savini in the letter. “The Crown and the Justice of the Peace were generally receptive to the municipality’s concerns about further charges during the pilot project.� The pilot project involved PooGloo as approved by the MoE. Then it was discovered that an unknown substance was killing the bacteria in the PooGloo unit. Savini recommended hiring an external consultant to review the matter to determine if the municipality had taken reasonable steps to solve the problems. “We would need to obtain this opinion fairly quickly,� Savini wrote. She said she understood financial considerations are an important factor and asked that council instruct the firm how to proceed. Council voted to refer the matter to budget without direction to the legal firm. The matter comes before the courts on February 12.

LIFESTYLES LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Brighton councillor responds to report

Dear Editor, lack of knowledge on re- Belleville, January 27, 2015) and Staff Re: Martinello admits quests for proposals (Inside not asked for comment on RFP (page 9, Brighton Independent, January 29, 2015) It seems clear that your reporter, Mrs. Joyce Cassin, neither listened to the debate at the January 22 council meeting nor bothered to take the time to listen to the audio record of this meeting, which is available for all at <http://brighton.ca/photos/custom/150122_003%20OPEN. MP3>. The opening sentence in both of Mrs. Cassin’s articles states, “Councillor John Martinello admits he doesn’t have the education or knowledge to compile a request for proposal, but Restaurant will be OPEN that isn’t stopping him.” Friday, Feb. 6th at 11:30 At question period during the January 22 council meeting, a person Casual, family dining overlooking called David Green asked the followPresqu’ile Bay ing question, “Fine. My question is, CHECK OUT OUR OPENING WEEK what education, knowledge or subject FOOD & BEVERAGE SPECIALS matter expert does Councillor Martinello have that would allow him to author this RFP?” My reply to Mr. Green was, “I have no subject matter expert that I referred to in authoring this RFP.” Mr. Green’s question seemed con75 Harbour St., Brighton fused, and it was confusing. But the clear implication of his question was 613.475.4142 R0013108363

that I referred to a subject matter expert—that is another person—in writing the RFP. And my response to his question was clear and, I thought, easy to understand. I did not refer to a subject matter expert in writing the RFP. Never once did I admit that I don’t “have the education or knowledge to compile a request for proposal.” During the same meeting, Mr. Green dredged up his tired and desperate red herring called “micromanagement” when he asked, “I again ask if this is micromanagement at its biggest element?” I admit I really did not understand what Mr. Green meant by “at its biggest element.” Nonetheless, Green asked a question, so I answered as best I could. I replied, “If that question is to me I would say, NO. It is making sure that we do what the ratepayers of Brighton asked that we do during the last election. I say it’s doing the utmost we can to protect the waters of Presqu’ile Bay. I would say it’s also doing the utmost we can to protect the

ratepayers of Brighton from further legal action.” Over the past four years Brighton taxpayers have paid—at least—several hundreds of thousands of dollars in staff salaries, consultant fees, contractor costs and legal fees trying to make the sewage treatment plant work. On April 16, 2014, the Municipality of Brighton was charged for failing to comply with Ontario Ministry of Environment requirements in the operation of the sewage treatment plant. The litigation related to these charges drags on at great cost—in terms of legal fees and potential fines and penalties—to Brighton taxpayers. At a December 15, 2014, council meeting, Mrs. Catherine Chisholm (Brighton’s Manager of Environmental Services) presented a consultant report that recommended spending $2,500,000 of Brighton taxpayers’ money on a “fix” for the Brighton sewage treatment plant. Council and the public were assured that this costly “fix” WOULD NOT remedy the “unknown substance(s)” that plagued sewage treatment plant op-

erations. Section 224 (d.1) of the Ontario Municipal Act states: “It is the role of council to ensure the accountability and transparency of the operations of the municipality, including the activities of the senior management of the municipality.” In writing the RFP, I did nothing more than attempt to assist in resolving the longstanding, unresolved and costly issues that have—for too long— plagued the operation of Brighton’s sewage treatment plant. The RFP was no different than any report I submit to council for council’s consideration. The RFP I wrote did not, and could not, oblige council to take any action that council did not want to take. The ongoing issues at the Brighton sewage treatment plant are very important to many Brighton taxpayers. I hope the Brighton Independent and Metroland Media will take all action to ensure that these—and all—issues are fully and honestly reported.

OPINION

Peak Everything

Editorial - Peak oil is so last year. Now we can worry about peak everything: peak food, peak soil, peak fertiliser, even peak bees. Let’s start small. We depend on bees to pollinate plants that account for about onethird of the world’s food supply, but since 2006 bee colonies in the United Gwynne Dyer States have been dying off at an unprecedented rate. More recently the same “colony collapse disorder” has appeared in China, Egypt and Japan. Many suspect that the main cause is a widely used type of pesticides called neonicotinoids, but the evidence is not yet conclusive. The fact remains that one-third of the American bee population has disappeared in the past decade. If the losses spread and deepen, we may face serious food shortages. Then there’s peak fertiliser, or more precisely peak phosphate rock. Phosphorus is a critical ingredient of fertiliser, and it is the eightfold increase in the use of fertilisers that has enabled us to triple food production worldwide from about the same area of land in the past 60 years. At the moment we are mining about 200 million tonnes of phosphate rock a year, and the global reserve that could be mined at a reasonable cost with current technology is estimated at about 16 billion tonnes. At the current level of production it won’t run out entirely for 80 years, but the increasing demand for fertilisers to feed the growing population means that phosphate production is rising fast. As with peak oil, the really important date is not when there are no economically viable phosphate rock reserves left, but when production starts to fall. Peak phosphate is currently no more than 40 years away—or much less, if fertiliser use continues to grow. After that, it’s back to organic fertilisers, which mainly means the urine and feces of ten or twelve billion human beings and their domesticated animals. Good luck with that. Peak soil is a trickier notion, but it derives from the more concrete concept that we are “mining” the soil: degrading and exhausting it by growing single-crop “monocultures,” using too much fertiliser and irrigating too enthusiastically, all in the name of higher crop yields. “We know far more about the amount of oil there is globally and how long those stocks will last than we know about how much soil there is,” said John Crawford, Director of the Sustainable Systems Program in Rothamsted Research in England. “Under business as usual, the current soils that are in agricultural production will yield

about thirty per cent less … by around 2050.” The United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organisation estimates that 25 per cent of the world’s soils that are currently under cultivation are severely degraded, and another eight per cent moderately degraded. (Even “moderately degraded” soil has lost half its capacity to store water.) And the only way to access new, undamaged soil is to deforest the rest of the planet. All of which brings us to the issue of peak food. And here the concept of “peak” undergoes a subtle modification, because it no longer means “maximum production, after which yields start to fall.” It just means “the point at which the growth in production stops accelerating”: it’s the peak rate of growth, not actual peak production. But even that is quite ominous, if you think about it. During the latter part of the 20th century, food production grew at around 3.5 per cent per year, comfortably ahead of population growth, but the dramatic rise in crop yields was owing to new inputs of fertilisers and pesticides, much more irrigation, and new “green revolution” crop varieties. Now those one-time improvements have largely run their course, and global food production is rising at only 1.5 per cent a year. Population growth has slowed too, so we’re still more or less keeping up with demand, but there are signs that food production in many areas is running up against what researchers at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, in a report last year called “a biophysical yield ceiling for the crop in question.” Production of the food in question stops rising, then may even fall—and extra investment often doesn’t help. The “peak” in this context is an early warning that there will eventually be a complete cessation of growth, possibly followed by an absolute decline. Peak maize happened in 1985, peak rice and wild fish in 1988, peak dairy in 1989, peak eggs in 1993, and peak meat in 1996. (The numbers come from a recent report by scientists at Yale, Michigan State University and the Helmholtz Centre in Germany in the journal Ecology and Society.) More recent peaks were vegetables in 2000, milk and wheat in 2004, poultry in 2006, and soya bean in 2009. Indeed, 16 of the 21 foods examined in the Ecology and Society report have already peaked, and production levels have actually flattened out for key regions amounting to 33 per cent of global rice and 27 per cent of global wheat production. So we are already in trouble, and it will get worse even before climate change gets bad. There are still some quick fixes available, notably by cutting down on waste: more than a third of the food that is grown for human consumption never gets eaten. But unless we come up with some new “magic bullets,” things will be getting fairly grim on the food front by the 2030s.

Why I don’t blame the Leafs jersey tossers By Stephen Petrick Editorial - Among the things in life I can’t afford are a $175 Toronto Maple Leafs jersey and a $500 ticket to sit low enough at a Leafs game that I could toss my jersey onto the ice in disgust–as has been the trend among disgruntled Leafs fans lately. But if I could afford such a ticket maybe I would. In a metaphorical sense, I threw my Leafs jersey away years ago. As of this writing, the Leafs are stuck in a ninegame losing streak and sit 12 points out of a playoff spot in the National Hockey League’s Eastern Conference. It’s hardly uncharted territory. The Leafs have made the Stanley Cup play-offs just once in the last nine years and haven’t been to a final since they won the Cup last in 1967. The outcome of this is a fan base and an organization that’s so frustrated it doesn’t know what to do. Leafs players have been ridiculed in the media (Google “Phil Kessel”) and the team’s young general manager Dave Nonis fired its likable coach Randy Carlyle the same week that he was attending a family member’s funeral. (Classy!) This season the Leafs have endured a whopping seven-goal loss, four shutout losses in January alone and some blooper-like moments, including a goal scored against them from centre ice last Saturday. It would seem that’s the reason why several jerseys have been thrown to the Air Canada Centre ice this year; a visible show of disgust by the home fans for the poor play of late. But, really, the players involved in this year’s follies represent just one chapter in a long and soiled history of the team that plays in the world’s most hockey mad market. Despite all the analysis you hear on sports talk shows, it’s important to remember that who wins or loses a game on any given day is a matter of chance. Any team can go through more than its fair share of injuries and bad luck on a given night or season. And this year’s Leafs are a perfect example. But to get perspective, fans need to look at the long-term trends of a franchise. Most teams, in a span of a decade, have a mix of good and bad years. But certain teams are almost always good. That’s a sign of an organization’s commitment to winning. Other teams, like the Leafs, are almost

always bad–at least from a win-loss perspective. On the business side of things, few sports franchises are as healthy as the Leafs. According to Forbes magazine’s recent ranking of pro sports franchises, the Leafs are the most valuable team in the NHL, with a worth of $1.15 billion U.S. They also have the league’s most expensive tickets. It’s virtually impossible to buy an individual game ticket–as they’re owned mostly by corporate season ticket holders–but according to TiqIQ, a resale ticket market aggregator, the medium price for a Leafs ticket on the resale market this season is $373.50 U.S. So who can blame a fan who gets angry when he shells out that price and doesn’t get to see a goal? In the 1970s and 1980s the Leafs were run by a man named Harold Ballard who was so money driven that, in one famous instance, he raised the heat in Maple Leaf Gardens on a summer night when the Beatles were in town, to sell more drinks. The Leafs were bad in those years, but experienced a rejuvenation after his death and made some spirited play-off runs in the 1990s and early 2000s. But the Leafs, for the better part of last decade, have returned to their normal place throughout history and today it’s harder for fans to figure out who to blame. Now, teams aren’t owned by cheap businessmen. They’re run by analytics-driven corporations that only know how to make profits. The Leafs are run by an organization called Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment, which is owned jointly by Bell Canada and Rogers Communications–two corporations that aren’t hurting for money. And there’s no need for them to pump more money into the Leafs to make them winners. Win or lose, the Leafs sell out every night, with ticket prices well above the average hockey fan’s range. I grew up cheering for the Leafs in the 1990s, on the wishes of my father, who still writes to me almost daily complaining about the team’s latest loss. But somewhere in between Mike Foligno’s final leap and Wendel Clark’s last big hit, I stopped cheering for the blue and white. Maybe it’s because, after so many seasons, you start learning how the world works. You know, at a certain time of the spring, the leafs will be out.

Brighton Independent - Thursday, February 5, 2015 7

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, Another meeting of Brighton Council and another blow for Brighton’s downtown. First council canceled the BCTC that was intended as an incubator for new business, then they supported a proposal that will destroy downtown’s pedestrian ambience with a highwaysize gas station, and now they intend to cut off funding to support the Downtown Revitalization Project. Don’t they understand the importance of downtown business to the economic and social well-being of our community? Collectively these businesses are arguably the biggest employer in Brighton and they are an important

source of business tax. The downtown area is an important social centre and hosts many community events. It is also an important part of attracting new residents and visitors. Did they not hear MPP Lou Rinaldi at the Revitalization Launch when he congratulated the municipality for enrolling in the OMAFA Revitalization program, pointing out that Brighton was in competition for survival with other small rural communities who would like to poach our businesses? In last week’s Independent MP Rick Norlock said something similar regarding business development: “If you stay the way you are and not expand or innovate

somebody’s going to come along and, as my kid’s say, eat your lunch.” The only explanation we have for this latest idiocy was from Councillor Martinello who in a public statement argued “I was blindsided by the request” implying that council was annoyed that the request was sprung on them and they voted it down out of pique. He goes on to say that “there are much more important issues to deal with” outlining several infrastructure deficiencies and saying that the $15,000 investment could be better spent on these priorities. Would that amount make a noticeable difference to these hugely expensive programs? His final argument was that “Brighton taxpayers already pay enough for programs that directly and indirectly benefit downtown business” and lists budgets for the Brighton Tourism office, fees paid to Quinte Economic Development Commission and his estimate of the cost to Brighton taxpayers of the Northumberland County Economic Development program, all of which are the cost of a providing an essential municipal service (Economic Development). It’s time council started thinking strategically, the more business retained

or attracted with downtown revitalization the more tax revenue will accrue in the long run. Recognizing what an important economic driver downtown is they should be embracing a partner not cutting off support. But, of course, as I pointed out last week they don’t

have a plan so budgeting is on an ad hoc basis, muscle will be cut as well as fat. Our competitors must be rubbing their hands with glee. Dave Cutler, Brighton

Personal trainer became interested in fitness at an early age News - Colborne - How’s this for a resume: weight-lifter at ten, ballet student and all-star running back in high school, and professional dancer, vegan body builder and competitive cheerleader as an adult? Oh, another thing, Devin Olivieri is a Can Fit Pro certified fitness professional who recently began operating out of a storefront on King Street in Colborne. He offers one-onone training as well as fun boot camps for two to ten people. His interest in keeping fit started early in life. By the time he was 12, he had two personal trainers helping him with his strength building and power lifting. Later, he enrolled in a fouryear dance program at a high school in Brampton where he was an OFSAA all-star football player. “Anything physical I wanted to try out,� Olivieri says. The Georgetown native won two gold medals as a ballet

dancer, in the pairs competition for lyrical and acrobatic stunt routines at the Canadian championships in 2007, which qualified him for the world championships in Norway but he didn’t go. As a junior bodybuilder, Olivieri placed third in all of Canada and second in Ontario as an adult bodybuilder. After six years in the sport he turned his attention to training champion physique body builders and female fitness models, teaching them routines, how to prepare for competition, and what makes a good diet. Although he stopped being a bodybuilder to focus on developing his strength, he became “a special guest performer� at FAME and International Natural Bodybuilding Association events. “When you train for strength or sport or for even dance you’re training for athletic ability,� he says. “When you’re training for bodybuilding you’re training for esthetics, you don’t have to be

super strong, you just [have] to look a certain way.� Learning ballet and playing football worked together “in a strange way,� Olivieri says. “My ability to deke, to turn on the dime actually came from ballet,� where you have to go in one direction and instantly turn the other way “while lifting a person.� And “the strength required for knocking a guy over on the football field� is the same needed for “picking up a girl and spinning around with her over your head.� As a professional dancer he performs at special events, even weddings, and last year he played the prince in Bermuda’s innovative Motion Dance Company’s production of The Nutcracker. While a member of the Milton Super Cheer Scorpions–“I did the lifting�–Olivieri travelled with the club in 2003 to Nashville where the club placed fourth in one of the categories at an international cheerleading

competition. who admitted he’s “not a “Devin does a good job of The 29-year-old fitness professional fan of the pushups� but said motivating.� has worked with children who are blind or have special needs, people who are missing limbs or are paraplegic, and “a lot of car crash victims� who he has helped attain “above-average levels of strength.� His clientele has ranged in age from ! % $ %

Cooey property has potential buyer By Joyce Cassin

2005. Should we come to an agreement on the cleanup of the land on Prince Edward Street, Cosal Investment will take procession of the property at no further cost.� According to the letter dated January 9, the total cleanup cost could be more than the $1 million estimated by Cosal in 2005. That would mean Brighton taxpayers would not only lose the back taxes of well over $4 million, but would have to pay a minimum of $800,000 to sell the land. Mayor Mark Walas said it’s

been a long-standing issue, but the new council doesn’t have the background on the matter. “I think now that it’s come forward, perhaps there may be an opportunity now for council to at least consider this as an opportunity going forward,� said Walas. At this point, Walas said he’s not directing staff to come forward with recommendations. “It would have been an opportunity to discuss it this evening when it was in closed, to get a sense from members of council whether they wanted to pursue it any further,� Walas said.

Water bill goes up, policing costs go down in Cramahe By John Campbell

News - Cramahe Township - A shower will cost Colborne residents ten per cent more this year, but they won’t have to pay as much to have a police ofďŹ cer patrol their neighbourhood. The hike in the water bill, subject to council approval, is based on a study that was done in 2012 which set out a schedule of rates up to and including 2020. The rates were based on demand and the infrastructure needs of the water and wastewater systems at the time. For an average family of two that

uses 13 cubic metres of water each month, the ten per cent rate increase adds $3 to what they paid each month in 2014, $30.42, which works out to $36 more a year. The wastewater rate is set at 115 per cent of the water bill. For an average family of four that uses 22 cubic metres of water each month, they will pay $4.67 more a month, or $50.70, an extra $56 a year. “Ten per cent seems like a lot but if, with new meters, everybody’s water use has gone down, we need to cover [the system’s operating costs],� Coun-

cillor Ed Van Egmond said. The water ďŹ ltration plant broke even last year but the sewage treatment plant “lost money ‌ and we had to take money out of reserves to cover the deďŹ cit,â€? said treasurer Mora Chatterson, who suggested council take another look at the study’s proposed sewer rates for the near future, because they are “supposed to be going downâ€? in a few years. Chatterson said the ten per cent increase in water rates is not just for operating costs but also future infrastructure needs such as water mains

that are 50 years old and will need to be replaced. “We need to be able to sustain our infrastructure,â€? she said. Council opted to renew its policing contract with the OPP for four years, rather than ďŹ ve, to coincide with members’ term of ofďŹ ce. Under the new billing model, Cramahe will see its policing costs for the year drop by $159,540 to about $1,070,000. Sixty per cent of the bill is for base costs, such as routine patrols, crime prevention, RIDE programs, and proactive policing. Calls

for service, such as police responding to a motor vehicle collision, make up the remaining 40 per cent. The OPP said the former billing model “relied heavily on calls for service to calculate costs that resulted in a wide variation between similar communities.� The new calculation “is meant to be fair and transparent, and will reduce the wide range in costs for OPP-policed municipalities.� The purpose “is to work toward the recovery of policing costs in a way that is equitable for all municipalities.�

tions the group has planned for July 15 to July 19, including its first Fun Run/ Walk/Stroll, a fundraiser that will take place July 18 in Presqu’ile Provincial Park. For more information, visit <www.myracetime.ca> and search under Events. “The public can expect to see a series of activities from various organizations at various venues across the municipality—some will have a lighthouse theme but most will be simply promoting the 175th anniversary,� board director Dave Sharp said in an email. “We consider this event very important to continue informing the guests and visitors to our community that there is a group of dedicated volunteers trying to preserve our local lighthouse and that we need their support.� Numerous organizations will be hosting events during the five-day festival, including the Lions (bingo), Kinsmen (pancake breakfast), Presqu’ile Yacht Club (annual Bonnett Race), Brighton Dragon Boat Club (Brighton Bay Day), Brighton Arts Council (Art in the Park), Rotary Club of Brighton (street dance at night), and Brighton Speedway. And if the preservation society can obtain some government funding, it plans to end the week-long celebrations with a fireworks display on the final night. “It will be an exciting time for all the organizations involved,� Sharp said. The group plans to hold another membership drive in May and host its second gala, June 6, at the Legion. “We look forward to a fantastic evening with the usual great food being served,� Sharp said. “Tickets will be available starting in mid-April so stay tuned.� Anyone who has a service or an article to donate as an auction item, or if any organization or individual wants to be part of the anniversary festival, email Sharp at <dsharp@presquilepointlighthouse.ca>. To join the society call membership chair Lynda Van Dusen at 613-4756103.

Councillor Brian Ostrander said he supported development, but opposes this one. “The trafďŹ c issues were not addressed ‌ and this is not appropriate to our core area in our ofďŹ cial plan, and more historic-style buildings coming down just doesn’t seem to be moving forward,â€? said Ostrander. “I’ve made it clear during the election [campaign] that in fact I did support this for our downtown,â€? Mayor Mark Walas said. He added that it’s not the best solution for the downtown, but it’s the ďŹ rst offer they’ve had since it went vacant almost a decade ago. Chief Administrative OfďŹ cer Gayle Frost said that Ken Hurford, planner for the municipality, has to testify in support of his recommendations against the proposal, and recommended council hire a professional planner to support council’s decision. Martinello said he disagreed with Hurford over several issues. “In my view, disagreeing with staff recommendations is part of the job,â€? he said. In a recorded vote, council voted 4 3 in favour, with Walas, Martinello, and Councillors Mary Tadman and Roger McMurray in favour.

News - Brighton - Residents in Brighton are tired of council not listening to them and are planning to ďŹ ght back. Three separate appeals to the Ontario Municipal Board are under way. Brighton Against Downtown Gas Station, or BADGaS, has been active on Facebook since council voted in favour of a proposal by Mac’s Convenience to install six double-sided gas pumps and a convenience store on the empty lot at the corner of Elizabeth and Prince Edward Streets ‌ also encompassing the Heritage Jeweler and PayDay buildings. The ďŹ nal vote allowing the proposal was up for council consideration Monday night. Prior to the vote, Gordon Tobey spoke out against the proposal and read a second delegate speech from Steve White. Tobey said he had four main reasons to oppose the proposal: the ofďŹ cial plan states a gas bar not be permitted, there was a request for several site-speciďŹ c zone provisions to accommodate the proposal, the trafďŹ c impact study was awed, and staff did not recommend it. White’s statement said, “I’m having a really difďŹ cult time with the fact that there were statements made without really giving proper explanations.â€? “To the council members who voted no, you gave good reasoning behind your decisions/votes, and on behalf of the community I thank you for that. For those members of council that voted yes, and did not give reasoning to their vote–we deserve more,â€? said White. Jobs, increased revenues, increased retail space ‌ all refuted by White. In fact, he asked why council did not force Esso to clean up the land so it could be used for something else. Councillor Steve Baker said he never supported the development and asked council members to reconsider their decision. “I think we’re going down the wrong road,â€? said Baker. “There’s no going

Sports - Quinte West - On February 13, the Trenton Golden Hawks will turn pink in the rink. “The Golden Hawks will be raising money for research for women’s cancers,” said Brad Warner, fundraising co-ordinator for Hastings-Prince Edward County office of the Canadian Cancer Society. Organizers are hoping for a big turnout at the Duncan McDonald Memorial Arena to help support the cause. Fans are encouraged to wear pink and fill the arena. “The second annual Pink in the Rink event will be taking place when the Hawks host the Kingston Voyageurs on Friday, February 13,” he said. “Last year the event raised over $11,000.” This year’s event will feature an honorary guest and hockey mom, Stirling Hockeyville chair Cindy Brant. Cindy has seen her family grow up in rinks across the community and watched her brother Rob Ray lace it up in the NHL. The Trenton Golden Hawks will be wearing pink jerseys that will be auctioned off in a silent auction and signed after the game. There will also be a Pick-a-Prize. Tickets are $10 for adults, $7 for seniors and $5 for children. They are being sold at both Trenton Scotiabank branches, Rustic Routes in downtown Stirling and at the Canadian Cancer Society office at 97 Hannah Court in Belleville. Call 613-962-0686 or email <bwarner@ontario.cancer.ca> for more information or to make a donation to the event. All proceeds will go to research for women’s cancers including breast cancer. This research will be key to finding new treatments and improving outcomes for women. Today 88 per cent of women diagnosed with breast cancer survive, compared to just 60 per cent in the 1980s, thanks to research.

Cramahe reverses decision, reinstates area charges on tax bills said streetlights, storm sewers and sidewalks are “there for the benefit of all people.” Reading from a prepared statement, Clark said the issue is about “being fair and inclusive to all people. It is not fair to arbitrarily consider all of Colborne urban when the village has two gravel roads and no sidewalks in any of the subdivisions built in the last forty years. Three of them have open ditches.” He noted there are sidewalks on county roads outside Colborne’s limits as well as going into Castleton. Clark also pointed out that municipal taxes are based on market value

assessment. “If your house is more valuable because of sidewalks, storm sewers and streetlights, you will pay more taxes,” he said, as is the case “if you have a large beautiful home in a rural setting.” Deputy-mayor Sandra Arthur said she had “many people,” including past councillors, tell her separate charges for rural and urban areas were set in place with amalgamation. “We looked through the files and weren’t able to find anything” to document that, she said, but special area charges for Colborne and the rural

News - Cramahe Township - Removing area charges from people’s tax bills so rural and urban residents pay the same rate across the board wasn’t such a good idea after all. Council members reached that conclusion following an outcry over their decision December 16 to end a practice that had been in place since Cramahe Township and Colborne amalgamated more than a decade ago. They reversed their decision January 27 after Councillor Ed Van Egmond, who voted in favour of the area charges being removed, asked that they be reinstated, saying “it was not clear as to what we were voting on.” Treasurer Mora Chatterson had asked for the change, stating in a report to a council that area charges— for street lighting in rural areas, and for sidewalks, storm sewers and street lighting in urban areas—“tend to cause a lot of questions and confusion” when property owners see them on their tax bills. She recommended they be dissolved and that expenses for streetlights, sidewalks and storm sewers be included in the township’s overall tax levy. To provide context, Chatterson cited council’s plan to install 400 metres of sidewalk along King Street East in Colborne at a cost of $55,000. The cost to the owner of an urban residential property assessed at $230,000 would have been an additional $74 in taxes. (The money instead will come from a Road Construction Reserve.) “Neighbours need good fences and we need to know where those fences lie,” Van Egmond told council this week. An area charge “separates the urban from the rural, and … rurals are already paying a lot of their own infrastructure themselves, and electricity costs are higher, phone costs are higher, everything’s higher.” His motion to re-instate the area charges was seconded by Councillor Tim Gilligan, who said he had received “a number of phone calls” from people who wanted “what was there before.” Councillor Don Clark, the only member of council to live in town,

community are “clearly highlighted” in a 2001 tax bylaw, and they have continued “ever since then. “I really believe it was there and it should go back to the way it was,” she said. Clark, who voted against the motion, reiterated “much of Colborne is as rural as it is urban” and there are farmers and residents within its boundaries without sidewalks living on gravel roads who are “actually considered urban” and pay accordingly. “That’s why I thought we should be fair and inclusive with these charges,”

he said. “How are you going to tell residents of Colborne who have none of this stuff that it is fair to them?” Mayor Marc Coombs, who supported eliminating the area charges and spoke passionately against the notion of rural versus urban at the December meeting, wasn’t required to vote this time around as it wasn’t a recorded vote. Reinstating the area charges is “perfectly fine with me; it’s council’s prerogative,” he said later. “We heard loud and clear that people were happy with the way it was set before and [to] continue on.”

Events - Marmora - The SnoFest Marmora 2015 slogan, “Put your Canadian On!” became a reality on Friday and Saturday, January 31, and February 1, at various venues in the town. From the Friday night Talent Contest to the late afternoon Curling “Back of Cordova” friendly battle for the much coveted BC Cup, there were smiles, success stories, and great fun

for young and the “older” as onlookers and participants took full advantage of a cold sunny winter weekend. Let’s not forget the main focus of this 37th annual event, as sled dog enthusiasts from many areas converged on Marmora to compete for prize money and trophies over both short- and longdistance runs.

Barb Reynolds, Sue Cuddy, and Pat Marett, serve Joe and Bev Maloney at the Marmora United Church SnoFest Luncheon. The menu included homemade ham dinner with scalloped potatoes, baked brown beans, tea, coffee, juice and desserts.

Kelli Curtis is seen at the SnoFest Official Souvenir/Merchandise Table at the Marmora Arena during the Artisans and Food Fair held at Sno Fest, Saturday, January 31. Like many area residents, Kelli not only volunteers with SnoFest, but is also the 2015 president of the Marmora Fair Board. Merchandise available was of top quality, with warm toques, post and note cards, as well as souvenir glasses. Children’s clown “Circus Jonathan” spent the day entertaining all ages with various accessories. The balloon characters he provided to the children could be seen all over the grounds. Jonathan said he had just finished a TV commercial for a car manufacturer, and has performed as the court jester at Casa Loma. He hopes to come to the Marmora Fair as well this year.

Two of the lead dogs at the Marmora SnoFest Races wait eagerly to start their six-mile six-dog run on Saturday, January 31. The 37th annual winter celebration was officially opened by MP Daryl Kramp, MPP Todd Smith, Marmora and Lake Deputy-reeve Linda Bracken, and Marmora SnoFest Chair Jen Bennett, at the Friday night Talent Show.

Chainsaw Woodcarver Levi Caya, of Campbellford, was accompanied at this year’s SnoFest by Kyle Conlon, a carver from Peterborough, originally from England. Kyle was inspired to start chainsaw carving by the work and encouragement of Levi and other carvers in the area. These are some of his works on display.

ning teams), to the most junior of the Little Nippers, it was obvious that all of those who handled the dogs do so from a caring relationship with their animals. Dog teams varied in experience and appearance, but in all cases, the drivers, and their assistant handlers were patient as the teams were arranged and straightened out at the start line. Dogs jumped excitedly out of line, mostly over their running partners, all the while eagerly straining to be away down the trail. On their return from the distance runs, dogs were certainly somewhat winded, and ready to head to their home spot, but all looked exhilarated, and still quite happy to be there at the races. After all the distance runs, including the skijoring, it was the turn of the Little Nippers, to run the short course, with handlers watching over both the little drivers (helmets on!) and their single sled dog. Dogs were eager in this event, and were willing to help the children enjoy what was in many cases, the child’s very first sled dog run. Most children sported smiles or were set in concentration as their determination to stay on the runners and “direct” the dogs brought success. One little guy burst into tears when the sled stopped, although it wasn’t apparent whether his tears were the result of discomfort, or the end of his run. His dog turned in concern at the sound of crying. Although they are fierce competitors in their events, it would seem that many of the dogs are good pets as well. The many associated events on Saturday included the ever popular Circus Jonathan, Levi Caya, chainsaw wood carver, the Marmora Boy Scouts fun children’s events, a pony ride and zorba ball experience, and the hockey tournament. The artisans and specialty foods fair upstairs at the arena featured incredible items from Marmora and surrounding areas. Artists, writers, soapmakers were in attendance. A variety of hand-crafted wood products, health and beauty products, specialty sewing and knitting items, jewellery, stoneware were available. The SnoFest Committee had a wonderful selection of top quality memorabilia at reasonable prices The Marmora SnoFest Committee is hoping to hear from all 20 of the $100 SnoFest Button winners. The button numbers were drawn on January 31 at the SnoFest Afterparty at Bunkers Bistro & Grill. We are still looking for all the winners.

LIFESTYLES

The Good Earth: Lifestyles - Gentle Reader, I collect ideas for columns every day and they accumulate in various places: a file on the computer; a pile of paper scraps strewn on the desk or balanced on the guitar stool; and scattered over much of the floor. Every now and then, I try to clear off one of those surfaces by cobbling up a column compiled of those odds and sods. Here is the first one for 2015.

Vol9 No6 Odds & Sods 1

O&S 1 Bees and Neonics The Globe and Mail, Saturday, January 31, 2015, published “An Open Letter to Ontarians: Getting the Facts Straight on Honey Bees.” A coalition representing 28,000 farm families has paid for this letter. The Ontario government is planning to restrict and/or ban a certain group of pesticides— neonicotinoids, aka neonics—for

agricultural use. The primary concern is that honey bees may be adversely affected and that neonics play a major role in colony collapse. A quick review of literature and studies on the Internet presented the same positional polarities as when the use of pesticides for cosmetic purposes was being discussed. It is very easy to dismiss “biased” studies, e.g. those published by the evil

and nefarious manufacturers and distributors of the products in question and, equally, those published by left-wing fanatical eco-nuts. Hopefully, when folks get together those stereotypical viewpoints will be left out in the street and not taken into the meeting room. It appears that Health Canada and Statistics Canada have numbers that conflict with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs in terms of numbers of bee colonies. There is also a statement, in this letter, that 72 per cent of the complaints sent to Health Canada were from only three per cent of the 3,262 beekeepers. What does that tell me, Gentle Reader? It actually tells me very little. I don’t know how many beekeepers there actually are in the province; I don’t know the nature of those complaints; I don’t know the

nature of the other 28 per cent of the complaints; I don’t know the timing of these complaints: e.g. early spring, late summer; I don’t know the weather conditions; nor, do I know from which geographical areas these complaints originated. So, GR, for me to sound off on this matter would be imprudent and unfair to both sides. And that is the point of this particular O&S. Numbers and statistics, by themselves, can be misleading. For example, a recent study from a major university reported that bees exposed to neonics suffered very high mortality rates. A rebuttal by the neonics manufacturer noted that the bees had been exposed to ten times the recommended rates. Who do you believe? Was your mind changed based on who did the reporting or the results reported? Would you be more inclined to look for an unbiased study? My suggestion is that you some more research. In your computer’s search engine type “Health Canada honey bees” You will find a very clear and comprehensive evolution of the issue over the past few years. For an excellent article, you can refer to Eric Atkins’ piece in the July 6, 2014 issue of The Globe and Mail, Pesticide linked to Bee Deaths to be Restricted in Ontario. O&S2 I Was There IV, Squash Tournament The Upper Canada Chapter of Landscape Ontario holds an annual challenge squash tournament that is open to all actively involved members of the landscape industry, from suppliers to installers and even designers. (Friends, spouses, relatives don’t necessarily qualify.) Lots of fun, good folks to hang out with, all skill levels will be equally challenged, and a fairly decent prize table. It will

Dan Clost be held on February 17 in Trenton; please contact me for more details O&S3 Plant Seeds Now GR, now’s the time to get busy collecting up all your materials for planting seeds. Did you know it’s getting late in the season if you were thinking of planting pelargoniums (geraniums) and fibrous begonia? For new seed starters here are some tips that aren’t on the packets. Seeds don’t need light to germinate, they like heat. That wee space over the top of your refrigerator is an excellent place for a flat. Pay attention to the growth rates listed on the packet (for detailed explanations you can search for my columns in the archives of this newspaper). Now is not the time for planting all seeds; if you plant too soon you might have tall spindly floppy plants. Air movement is very important in the battle to reduce moulds and other moisture related issues, so think about a small fan. O&S4 Canada Blooms Connon Nurseries is taking bookings for their bus trips to Canada Blooms in March; check their website or call the store for info. Hort clubs and other groups can always call their local coach lines and see if they can hire their own bus; you might be surprised at how cost effective it is. (As per usual, any group that is offering a trip, please drop me a line and I’ll mention it in the column.)

Coyote Quest: Preliminary findings from the coyote study Events – Ivanhoe - Coyote Quest is the second in the 2015 Winter Speaker Series hosted by the Hastings Stewardship Council and sponsored by the Hastings Prince Edward Land Trust. Join Tyler Wheeldon in Ivanhoe for a presentation on his recent coyote research. Tyler Wheeldon is a PhD candidate at Trent University. His presentation will summarize the preliminary findings from a three-year coyote study conducted in Prince Edward County. Coyotes in this area have been highly controversial, primarily due to concerns regarding predation on livestock. Tyler will explain various aspects of coyote biology, including social organization, territory sizes, movements (includes

animations), activity patterns, survival and reproduction. Coyote diet, genetics and morphology will also be discussed, adding to the understanding of this fascinating animal. The current PhD research of Tyler Wheeldon focuses on the demographic response of eastern coyotes to human exploitation and the role of dispersal in maintaining harvested populations. The presentation will attempt to address the issue of why coyote populations persist despite intensive harvest by humans. The coyote is one of nature’s most adaptive species, able to thrive in different settings and survive on many diets. This is evident from the coyote’s adaptation to the

changing North American landscape. Coyote Quest: Preliminary Findings from the Coyote Study in Prince Edward County is on Thursday, February 12, from 7 to 9 p.m. at Huntingdon Veterans Community Hall at 11379 Highway 62 in Ivanhoe, Ontario, just north of the Ivanhoe cheese factory. An entrance fee of $5 (or a donation) will help cover costs; children are free. Refreshments will be provided. The Hastings Stewardship Council promotes a healthy and sustainable environment that contributes to the viability of agricultural and natural resources in Hastings County. For more information, please contact Matt Caruana at 613-391-9034 or <info@hastingsstewardship.ca>.

Ontario Lung Association launches The Will Campaign with a heavy burden. If you haven’t prepared a will or power of attorney yet, the Ontario Lung Association Will Campaign is here to help. Participating lawyers donate their time to prepare wills and powers of attorney. Clients pay $100 for a will and $50 for each power of attorney, with all proceeds going to help Ontarians with lung disease or to fund lifesaving lung research. Clients can find a participating lawyer by contacting their local Ontario Lung Association office or by going to <on.lung.ca/TheWillCampaign>. Giroux says that having a power of attorney is often just as important as a will, especially for young people.

“Imagine a young person saving for their first home, has bills to pay and a great credit rating,” she says. “A health issue might put them in hospital and they will be unable to manage their affairs. If they have a power of attorney the named attorney can manage the incapacitated person’s affairs. Otherwise, they could find themselves with unpaid bills, their credit rating going down the drain along with dreams of purchasing a home the next year.” The Will Campaign’s volunteer lawyers see value in giving to The Lung Association but also in giving their clients peace of mind. “When I went to prepare my will I

It was very easy and comfortable. I also love the fact that I am giving a gift to The Lung Association.” When preparing your will consider including a charitable gift, known as a bequest. This can be a legacy gift that also gives your estate a tax benefit. A bequest can provide a 100 per cent tax receipt up to the amount of the net income in the year of death. There are various ways to include a bequest: a set amount, a percentage or a residual which gives a percentage of the

estate after all other disbursements. A donor can even name a charity should none of their other beneficiaries be alive to receive the inheritance. “I am so proud that I can donate my professional services to The Lung Association in a way that I can fit it into my busy schedule,” says Giroux. “I have asthma myself and I think many of us know someone, if not ourselves, who struggles with lung disease.” To volunteer your legal services or to find a lawyer in your region, call Lola McMurter at The Lung Association at 613969-0323 or email <thewillcampaign@ on.lung.ca>.

News - A recent survey found that more than half of Canadian adults do not have a signed will. Many people believe they don’t need a will until they have children or significant assets but that is not the case, says Melanie Giroux, barrister, solicitor, notary public and volunteer for the Ontario Lung Association Will Campaign. “When you reach the age of majority, that is the right time to prepare a will,” she says. Having a will is vital because it is the legal document that designates a person, the estate trustee, also known as the executor, to take over management of your estate and related matters when you die. People who die without a will leave their loved ones

TRAVEL

A visit to Amsterdam’s Anne Frank House

By John M. Smith

Lifestyles - One of the many plays I’ve enjoyed at Belleville’s Pinnacle Playhouse was a production of The Diary of Anne Frank, which told the story of a young Jewish girl who hid with her family in the sealed-off upstairs annex of her father’s office building in Amsterdam during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. Therefore, on my last visit to Amsterdam, I decided to check out this house for myself. After all, it’s now a museum and a very popular tourist attraction. The Anne Frank House is located on the Prinsengracht canal in Amsterdam, and it’s easy to find, for there always seems to be a long lineup of visitors waiting a turn to tour this famous hiding place and to learn about the life and times of Anne Frank herself. Simply look for that long line. The museum, which opened in 1960, also serves to feature special temporary exhibits and to highlight other examples of worldwide persecution and discrimination. As I toured the interior of this old house, I found many of Anne’s quotations from her diary were now displayed on the walls, and there were many photos and film clips depicting her unusual existence. There was a specific route to follow through the house, for it was crowded, and no one was

allowed to take photos. However, the journey was certainly educational and informative, and I passed by the reconstructed movable bookcase that had covered the entrance to the annex/hiding place. I also passed the storeroom, where spices and other supplies were kept, and the communal bathroom that had to be used as little as possible during the day, for the warehouse workers were

downstairs then and not aware of the existence of the people in hiding just above them. Anne talked about this in her diary: “No running water, no flushing toilets, no walking around, no noise whatsoever.” I also passed by the Academy Award that Shelley Winters won back in 1959 for her portrayal of Mrs. Van Daan in the film version of The Diary of Anne Frank. She vowed to give this

Oscar to the museum, and she did. It now sits, prominently, in a glass case. Anne Frank had received her diary as a gift on her 13th birthday, and she wrote in it while she was in hiding, for more than two years. The Frank family (parents Otto and Edith and children Anne and Margot) went into their isolated existence here on July 6, 1942. Four more people soon joined them: Hermann van Pels, his wife Auguste, their son Peter, and Fritz Pfeffer, a close acquaintance of the Frank family. Although Otto went to work regularly, the others had to remain indoors at all times, with

the curtains closed so that no neighbour detected them. Anne wrote in 1942: “During the day our curtains can’t be opened, not even an inch.” Anne confessed, in her diary, in December, 1943, that she found it very difficult to be cooped up all the time: “I like to ride a bike, dance, whistle, look at the world, feel young and know that I’m free.” She also wrote, in 1944, that “One day this terrible war will be over. The time will come when we’ll be people again and not just Jews!” As you probably already know, the people hiding in this house were eventually found,

arrested, and deported to concentration camps. All but Otto died. After the war ended, Otto returned to Amsterdam, where he was given Anne’s diary and some other personal effects that had been “rescued” by two of his office staff (Miep Gies and Bep Voskuijl) who had taken personal risks to help hide and care for these families and gather up this memorabilia. After learning of the death of his wife and daughters, Otto eventually decided to find a publisher for Anne’s diary and to dedicate the rest of his life to combatting discrimination and prejudice. He stated: “We cannot change what happened anymore. The only thing we can do is learn from the past and to realize what discrimination and persecution of innocent people means.” Anne’s life was, indeed, short and tragic. She was born in Frankfurt, Germany, on June 12, 1929, and I found a small block on the old Jewish cemetery wall there that has her name upon it, a reminder that she was one of the more than 10,000 Jewish people killed from the Frankfurt area alone. When Hitler came to power in 1933 and established an anti-Jewish regime, the Frank family moved to Amsterdam, where Otto started a couple of businesses (selling a gelling agent for making jams and spice mixes for meat). After Germany occupied the Netherlands and anti-Jewish measures increased there, the family decided to go into hiding. After the young teen endured her “captivity” in her house, she was then taken, by force, to a concentration camp, where she died of typhus before reaching her 16th birthday. However, her diary has proved inspirational to many others, and the popularity of the Anne Frank House is her ongoing legacy.

ENTERTAINMENT

Touring film festival fundraiser coming to Aron Theatre News - Campbellford Media reports about highprofile personalities such as former CBC radio host Jian Ghomeshi facing charges of sexual assault and TV’s comedian dad Bill Cosby plagued by sexual abuse allegations are bringing these issues to the forefront. That is the opinion of Karen Basciano, public education and special events co-ordinator with the Kawartha Sexual Assault Centre in Peterborough who said, “As we know since the beginning of time this stuff has been kept a secret and now people are being empowered to come forward.” And to raise money the centre will be hosting LUNAFEST, a film festival dedicated to promoting awareness about women’s issues, highlighting women filmmakers, and bringing women together in their communities. The film will be shown at the Aron Theatre. “This unique film festival highlights women as leaders in society, illustrated through nine short films by women filmmakers,” explained Basciano. LUNAFEST films range from animation to fictional drama, and cover topics such as women’s health, motherhood, body image, aging, cultural diversity and breaking barriers. “Someone from our centre will introduce this particular film and talk about our organization,” Basciano said. She will be there too. All proceeds from LUNAFEST will benefit the Breast Cancer Fund and Kawartha Sexual Assault Centre. “The funds will go to the centre’s programs such as our crisis support line, oneon-one counselling, support groups and public educa-

tion,” said Basciano. LUNAFEST is a One Billion Rising event. According to the One Billion Rising website, the campaign, a mass action to end violence against women, was launched on Valentine’s Day 2012, began as a call to action based on the staggering statistic that one in three women on the planet will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. Added to those statistics are those noted on the Kawartha centre’s website: “conservative statistics document that one in two girls and one in five boys will be sexually assaulted at some time in their lives.” “Caseloads are increasing,” said Basciano, who noted that the Gomeshi and Cosby reports may be triggering the issue of sexual assault and abuse and be one of the reasons for the increase. The Kawartha centre is one of only four in Ontario that received special funding for a needs assessment study to learn more about the pathway of healing for women and girls who have experienced sexual violence. The centre’s research team would like to hear community ideas for sexual violence prevention in the region it covers which includes Northumberland, Peterborough, Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton. “Focus groups are being used to find out what the needs assessments are,” noted Basciano and the centre would like to speak to survivors of sexual violence, who have identified as female at some point in their life, to “have their say” about their needs in accessing community services in the response and prevention of sexual violence.

Last week posters were distributed throughout Trent Hills to promote LUNAFEST, a fundraiser being hosted by the Kawartha Sexual Assault Centre at the Aron Theatre. Last week several community members volunteered to put up posters: from left, Theresa Miller, president of St. Mary’s Catholic Women’s League; Donna Desjardins, Community Living Campbellford/Brighton; Karen Basciano of the centre; Dawn Lee, Community Living; and Earl St.-Jean, vice-president of the Aron Theatre. “It’s part of our philosophy to support inclusive initiatives in the Trent Hills community,” said Lee.

LUNAFEST is just one more way of reaching out to the communities and raising money. Created and funded by LUNA, The Whole Nutrition Bar for Women, has raised over $656,000 for the Breast Cancer Fund and over $1,250,000 for other

women’s non-profit organizations. The film will be shown on Saturday, February 14, at 2 p.m. Tickets are available at the theatre and Kerr’s Corner Books in downtown Campbellford. General admission is $20. Students and seniors, $12.

The Warning Signs

Being able to recognize the warning signs of heart attack and stroke could save your life. Every minute counts during the onset of a heart attack or stroke—the faster you receive medical treatment, the more likely you are to survive and the better your chances of a more complete recovery. Women often experience the same symptoms as men do, but women and men don’t respond to a heart attack in the same ways and women often describe their symptoms differently than men. Women are less likely to believe they’re having a heart attack, and they are more likely to put off seeking treatment.

Heart Attack

www.campbellfordchrysler.ca

260 Bell Blvd., Belleville 613-967-8080

Although symptoms are generally the same for men and women, women can sometimes experience symptoms that are less deďŹ nite, such as chest discomfort rather than pain.

250 Sidney St., Belleville 613-966-2034

Help Support Heart & Stroke Foundation

For women, chest pain may not be the ďŹ rst sign of heart trouble. Women have reported experiencing unusual tiredness, trouble sleeping, problems breathing, indigestion, and anxiety up to a month or so before the heart attack.

Jazz sensation to make Canadian debut at Opening Gala

Entertainment - Belleville It’s been a whirlwind journey for Justin Kauflin, a 28-year-old jazz pianist who lost his sight at the age of 11. From a decade of classical violin and piano training, Justin made the move to jazz piano at the Governor’s School For Performing Arts, and has been taking the jazz world by storm ever since. The protégé of jazz luminary Clark Terry, both performers star in the breakout documentary Keep on Keepin’ On. The film, which recently won the Cinema Eye Honors Audience

Choice Award, will screen at 7 p.m. on Friday, February 27, at The Empire Theatre for Belleville Downtown DocFest’s Opening Gala, followed by Justin’s first performance on Canadian soil. The Opening Gala, sponsored by Pretsell Davies Lawyers, has grown exponentially each year with the combination of once-ina-lifetime musical performances complementing featured films on the opening night. This year will prove to be bigger and better once again, organizers say, with DocFest’s receipt

of additional funding from The Ontario Arts Council. The OAC support will allow DocFest to offer a unique workshop following a school screening of the film where Justin will work one-onone with local high school jazz musicians.
 It bears mentioning that the audience will contain the vestiges of jazz legends left, right and centre: Celine Peterson, goddaughter of Clark Terry and daughter of Canadian jazz pianist Oscar Peterson, will also join the festivities in Belleville as a guest of

DocFest. She will assist with a CD launch for Justin’s breakout album, Dedication. “This launch is another significant and exciting development that will be part of our Opening Gala entertainment,” says Gary

Magwood, DocFest’s Chair. With performances at Jazz a Vienne, Montreaux Jazz Festival and honours such as VEER magazine’s Jazz Artist of the Year, the past year and a half has been a kickoff for Justin in what is expected to be

a much-lauded career in the jazz world. The DocFest Committee is thrilled and honoured that he is adding Belleville to the roster as his first Canadian performance, a high profile event for the city.

Calwell curlers off to slow start at national competition Sports - The Quinte Curling Club team has some work ahead of it at the Canadian Junior Championships in Corner Brook, Nfld. this week. The team, which feature’s Belleville twin brothers Mac and Morgan Calwell, started the men’s tournament winning two of its first five games. As of Monday, team Ontario was in fourth place among seven teams in the Pool A standings. The Calwells, and their fellow team members Kurt Armstong and Matt Pretty, started the tour-

nament with a 16 - 3 win over Nunavut on Saturday, but then lost to the host Newfoundland & Labrador team in the evening draw. On Sunday they lost 6 - 4 to British Columbia and then 11 - 6 to Manitoba. However, on Monday morning they rebounded with an 11 - 6 win over Nova Scotia. Round-robin play continues until Friday and playoffs will take place Saturday and Sunday. To follow the tournament, visit <http://www.curling. ca/2015juniors-en>

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. Lovingly remembered, Mom, Fernando, JoAnne & Bill, Meghan, Mark, Rob, Tessa,
