Public transit pilot program gets underway in Brighton By John Campbell Brighton – With the launch of a sixmonth pilot program in Brighton this week, the question now becomes: Will a trial public transit system turn into a permanent fixture or turn out to be transitory? Ridership, public feedback and a decision of council will determine its fate but supporters of the weekday service between Brighton and Trenton are optimistic it will prove its worth. “I see it being extremely successful,” said Mayor Mark Walas as he waited with others at Prince Edward Square for the Quinte Access bus to begin its initial run through town Monday afternoon before heading off to Trenton. “There are a number of folks who have identified the fact that they are either unable to drive or ... wish not to have to drive,” he said. “[This] allows them the flexibility of not only to get around our community but to get into Trenton. [It’s] just a wonderful opportunity for everyone.” Nesbitt Street resident Phyllis Harper was the first person picked by the bus, at the Sandpiper Community Centre. She has been “waiting a long time” for Brighton to have its own public transit system.
“I think it’s terrific,” she said. “I don’t drive, I don’t have a car ... and I haven’t been able to get down to Walmart on my own, so this is perfect.” Walas said he has been told by some residents “they were considering moving from the community because there was no transportation system ... As time has gone on, the need has presented itself and kudos to Gail Ellis who really brought it all forward [and] Quinte Access for being able to offer this ... It’s worked out very, very well.” Ellis, a member of the Brighton Accessibility Advisory Committee, initiated efforts to introduce public transit in Brighton with the support of the committee. She saw how valuable the service could be to Brighton residents through her work as a wellness program coordinator for Community Care in making use of the bus to provide transportation to aquafit classes in Trenton. “It’s just fantastic,” she said of Monday’s launch. “I’m really happy for people who don’t have any vehicles,” who can now get around town or go to Trenton, to have blood work done, do their banking, keep medical appointments, visit loved Attending the launch of a pilot program for a public transit system Monday were Sandy Fawcett-Kovacs, Brighton Mayor Mark Walas, Sandra Dunk, Councillor Mary Tadman and Gail Ellis, Fawcett-Kovacs are both members of the Accessibility Advisory Committee, Dunk and Tadman sit on the board of ones in hospital, or go shopping.

The cost within Brighton is $2. “It’s going to take off but it just takes time,” she said. Quinte Access has been providing a specialized door-to-door service to local seniors and persons with disabilities for decades, with the help of about $25,000 a year in funding provided by Brighton council. “The has just grown immensely, so the Quinte Access board knows that there’s a real need here,” Tadman said. Walas even put forward the notion that the service could be expanded to restore bus service between Phyllis Harper was the first person picked up by Presqu’ile Provincial Park and the Quinte Access bus Monday, at the Sandpiper downtown Brighton during the Community Centre.

Brighton’s very own Order your double ‘No Class Bobby Bass’ doubles soon, Brighton By Victor Schukov
Dennis Baldock came to Brighton seven years ago, “looking to peacefully settle down in a safe, small town where people are down-to-earth.� You see, from 1967 through 1992, he toured the world three times, with a perpetually stuck in high gear people-stirrer named No Class Bobby Bass – a 265 pound, five-eleven bowling ball with piercing razor-slit eyes, a Fu Manchu moustache and a jutting lower lip always ready for trouble but usually just to tell you a funny story about himself. Bass led a life that people write books about. You might say that Dennis “tagged� along for the wild ride. (Pun intended.) Bass is Baldock’s swaggering alter ego; a live animation bursting with credentials: 17-time (American) National Wrestling Alliance champion, 10- times in All-Star Wrestling, and inductee in the Canadian Wrestling Hall of Fame. Did I mention that fans consider him a legend? Baldock, the modest half, is quick to tell you that he is just “one of the boys.� Meanwhile, Bass - the blustery showman with vocal cords the size of a freighter - will launch into one of his golden tales of wrestling. I asked Baldock, solid and ageless at 69, when he retired. Bass replied with a smirk, “When my body told that’s enough, big fella.� You don’t have to be a wrestling aficionado to know that Bass was at the top of his profession, just from a short list of people he fought: Hulk Hogan, Jake the Snake, Andre the Giant, Roddy Piper, Randy Savage, “King Kong� Angelo Mosca, Iron Sheik, Gene Kiniski, you name it. Dennis Baldock was born in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. “One day, when I was a teen,� he says, “my father said, ‘Why don’t you go to the wrestling school in Toronto?’ He changed my life. I went, to make him happy.� The father had seen something in the son. Baldock trained for year, then went to Florida for two years under the tutelage of the Ronnie Bass family. They told him that he was now a “Bass brother.� The tag stuck, right up to the cowboy hat glued to his head. From there, he tore up the West Coast for three years working with
Jake the Snake, followed by a call to Stu Hart’s Calgary Stampede wresting where he garnered two international championships. Then, 10 years in the Maritimes as the Cuban Assassin’s tag team partner, filling the famous Halifax Forum. Bass says, “The Assassin is my only living old partner. I must have put the hoochie-coochie on them all.� Bass was a “jobber� - the bad guy everyone loves to boo, making the other guy look good in a solid match. Jobbers call the moves because they know how to manipulate the crowd. Bass ran full throttle for 25 years, every night, stacking memories: “In Kansas City, Andre the Giant had me over his head and - if he liked you, he called you “Boss� - I said, ‘Andre, is that as high as you can lift me?’ He said, ‘Okay Boss,’ and walked around the ring looking for a spot to throw me. He stopped, said, ‘Goodbye Boss’ and flung me over the front row into some unoccupied seats. I crawled back in the ring, and he come up and slammed 250 pound Tokyo Joe on top of me. In the dressing room, Andre said to me, ‘Boss, I like that. We do that every night!’ In every American arena, I flew over the top row. Nice guy, Andre.� Baldock wouldn’t trade his life for anything: “It’s a good, but hard life because it’s show business night after night, at a breath-taking, bodyslamming pace.� Bass knew his trade. His dance card speaks volumes. In retirement, he attends special events, and every second Saturday evening, co-hosts a radio podcast show called Pure Class with Bobby Bass (Blab.im) broadcast across Canada. “Wrestling made me a better person,� says Baldock. “I had no anger issues. I took it all out in the ring, screaming my head off at the audience.� And one more thing: He got respect. His dad was wise.

Brighton – The buzz in Brighton is palpable about the prospects of new fast food chains and convenience stores coming to town. Mayor Mark Walas was bursting at the seams to break the news that Tim Hortons is coming to town. Planning consultant Darryl Tighe told council Monday night that he was approached by Graham Lloyd, of Tim Hortons, two weeks ago, and expects an application to come forward within the next couple of weeks. When asked the location, Tighe said he felt it was premature to provide the information considering the application has not yet been received. “Senior management from Tim Hortons has been down and has requested all the necessary information to make an application to have a Tim Hortons within this community,� Walas said. “All of us have heard ‘when’s it coming?’ for years and years now, and it would appear, although we have not yet received anything formal at this time, that they will be back very shortly...with information on rezoning and a proposed start date.� Meanwhile, mums the word on Mac’s. There’s very little action happening with the Mac’s convenience and gas bar proposed for the corner of Elizabeth and Prince Edward Streets. Planning consultant Darryl Tighe told council Monday night that he has yet to receive any updates, the last being in November despite numerous requests for information. Andrea Rae, owner of Heritage Jewellers, one of the properties slated for demolition to make way for the Mac’s, has since listed her property for sale. Regardless, council moved forward and voted in favour of requesting a Level 2 environmental assess-

ment due to the fact that there is a food service in the facility. The two properties located at 23 and 25 Prince Edward have already had a Level 1 and 2 ESA. “There has been a substantial delay in information from them, but the project, as we understand it, is still moving ahead,� Walas said. Farther outside the community, plans for McDonald’s and Shell are moving apace for construction at the intersection of Highway 401 and County Road 30. Walas says there “have been a few setbacks with the Ministry of Transportation, and the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change, but everything seems to be falling into place now. “It’s a great news story for Brighton,� Walas said. “Last I heard they’re targeting somewhere around 85 to 90 employees, between full and part time.� Another surprise announcement during an interview after the meeting was that this proposal is only the start of development at the 401 interchange. Walas said there’s more in the works for the lands directly to the east, but declined to provide details.

Hard not to get caught up in Charlotte’s web of kindness By Joyce Cassin Brighton - Charlotte Gorrie is a sparkler of a young girl with a big heart in more ways than one. The cheery 10-year-old’s legacy of giving is a lengthy one: donations to her favourite charity of the day, raising money for Trinity St. Andrew’s United Church for the expansion and now for the steeple, God’s Littlest Angels in Haiti, Lions Foundation of Dog Guides, Brighton Library, or her latest, Brighton Refugee Immigration Needs Group (BRING). The $25 Charlotte received in gifts from family this past Christmas was recently donated to BRING. “I read the article in the paper and thought, wow, these people need this money more than I do,” Charlotte said during a recent interview in her home. “There are other people who needs gifts more than I do.” She’s been fundraising since she was about four and the money doesn’t all come from birthdays. She does crafts, which she sells to friends and family or at school or church. When Charlotte was six, she too was in need of some help, for even though she has a big and generous heart, it was quite ironic that she actually had an enlarged heart and had to undergo surgery.
But that didn’t stop he, it simply gave her another charity to share her generosity with. Recently she’s been focused on BRING, being part of a group of students encouraging staff at Spring Valley Public School to create fundraisers, and her Grade 5 teacher is also teaching about Syria and the ways of its people. So far they held Hat Day where everyone wanting to wear a hat paid $1, and held a food drive. She’s also taken on the chore of cooking breakfast for her parents once a week to raise money to allow her to buy more craft supplies so she can raise more money for her causes. While it may seem that Charlotte spends a lot of time on others, she does enjoy spending time with her friends and family, she rides, bakes, and loves playing with her dogs. Another of her favourite pastimes is reading and writing stories. Charlotte is anxious for the refugee family to come to Brighton, and she hopes they decide to live nearby where the girls can attend Spring Valley Public School. BRING chair Hugh McDonald says the Syrian family, Mohamed Housam Alrefai, his wife Dima Ismail, and daughters Talia, Naya and Ciline, are expected to arrive sometime in March.

There were 66 cases of distracted driving, a 2.9 per cent reduction. Fewer meetings The police services board will no longer meet monthly but every other month. Pike brought forward that suggestion at the request of Detachment Commander Inspector Lisa Darling. He noted last week’s meeting lasted little more than half-hour, whereas with bi-monthly meetings there is more information “typically to talk about as opposed to non-issues.� The provincial legislation require police services boards meet a minimum of four times a year. Brighton PSB usually meets nine times a year. Trent Hills PSB is currently the only board in Northumberland County that meets every other month. The board chair still has the discretion to call a meeting should the need arise. All meetings are open to the public. The next one is March 30 in the courthouse waiting room at 11 a.m.

OPINION
North Korea’s deterrent
Here we go again. North Korea launched a ballistic missile of intercontinental range on Sunday (saying it was just putting up a satellite) only weeks after it carried out its fourth nuclear weapons test (which it claimed was a hydrogen bomb). The United Nations Security Council condemned it, Gwynne Dyer strongly and even the People’s Republic of China, North Korea’s only ally, expressed its “regret” at what the country had done. There will certainly now be more UN sanctions against Kim Jong-un’s isolated regime. But there have already been four rounds of UN military and economic sanctions since North Korea’s first nuclear test in 2006, and Pyongyang just ignores them. Clearly, this is something that the North Korean regime wants so badly that it is willing to endure considerable punishment in order to get it. But why is this very poor country spending vast sums in order to be able to strike its neighbours – and even the United States, for that is what the intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) are about – with nuclear weapons? Well, here’s a clue. What the North Korean government said after last month’s hydrogen bomb test was this: “The DPRK (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) is a genuine peace-loving state which has made every effort to protect peace on the Korean Peninsula and security in the region from the vicious US nuclear war scenario. “The US is a gang of cruel robbers that has worked hard to bring even a nuclear disaster to the DPRK. By succeeding in the H-bomb test ... the DPRK proudly joined the advanced ranks of nuclear weapons states ... and the Korean people demonstrated the spirit of a dignified nation equipped with the most powerful nuclear deterrent.” Never mind the stilted rhetoric and gutter abuse; North Korean propagandists always talk like that. Listen to the key words that are almost buried under the surrounding invective. North Korea’s nuclear weapons program, they say, is meant to “protect ... the region from ... the US ... nuclear war scenario” by creating a “most powerful nuclear deterrent.” Really? Do they actually fear that the United States might use nuclear weapons on them, and that they can only be safe if they have their own hydrogen bombs and ICBMs? Are they doing all this purely as a defensive measure?

Of course they are. However bad-tempered and impulsive they sounded, the men of the Kim family, father, son and grandson, who have ruled North Korea in dynastic succession for the past 68 years were not crazy. They never started a war, because they knew they would lose it, and the current incumbent is certainly not going to start a nuclear war. He would have to be crazy to do that. North Korea lacks the resources to build more than a few bombs a year, and it does not have the technologies to ensure that the missiles it may one day have won’t get shot down. It will probably never be able to guarantee that it can strike even South Korea or Japan with nuclear missiles, let alone the United States. Everybody in the North Korean hierarchy (along with some millions of other North Koreans) would certainly be dead only hours after the regime launched nuclear weapons at any of those countries. The United States has literally thousands of nuclear weapons. It would take only a few dozen quite small ones to virtually exterminate the entire ruling elite, and North Korea would have no way of stopping them. A few not-very-high-tech nuclear weapons would give Pyongyang no usable ability to launch a nuclear attack against the United States or its allies. They would, however, give it a pretty credible nuclear deterrent. Launching a few nuclear weapons against a major nuclear power is suicidal, but those same few weapons can be a perfectly good deterrent against a nuclear attack by that same power, because they give the weaker party a capacity for “revenge from the grave.” Even a country as powerful as the United States will behave very cautiously when faced with the possibility that an opponent might land even one or two nuclear weapons on its territory. North Korea has lived under the implicit threat of US nuclear weapons for almost seven decades, and the United States has never promised not to use its those weapons against it. It’s almost surprising that we haven’t seen North Korean nuclear weapons before now. North Korea is just doing the same thing that Pakistan did in the 1980s and 90s out of fear of Indian nuclear weapons, and that Iran was doing in fear of both Pakistani and Israeli nuclear weapons in the last 15 years. The Security Council is quite right to try to block North Korea’s nuclear weapons program, and the successful use of international sanctions to stop Iran offers some hope that it may succeed. But North Korea is not a crazy state plotting a nuclear holocaust at the cost of its own extinction. Its nuclear weapons program is a perfectly rational – although highly undesirable – policy for a small country with a big problem.

You can’t mush in the mush Editorial - Chris Malette It was yet another announcement among the flurry of warnings these past weeks that ice is unsafe, heavy rainfall is expected (in February!) and Toronto set a record for plus 16 last week. A crappy winter season has caused the cancellation of the planned Cops `n Kids ice fishing derby being planned by Belleville Police for Feb. 13. “The recent weather has made the ice unsafe and we can’t take any chances of injury,” said Const. Pat Comeau, the organizer. And on it goes. The official word from places like the Weather Channel was this: “Winter will be milder than normal across much of Canada. This rings especially true for Canadians living across the Prairies and into northern Ontario .. “For those Canadians living in southern Ontario to Atlantic Canada, it will be considerably milder than the past two winters.” No kidding, Sherlock. But, the experts expect “an extended period of classic winter during the second half of the season, which should result in near normal for the winter as a whole…” Okay, snowmobilers, cross-country skiers, winter resorts, ski clubs, ice fishing enthusiasts, outdoor shinny players – any number of people who love a classic Canadian winter are still waiting for the return of Old Man Winter. Take our friends at Marmora’s SnoFest who have had to postpone the event’s famed dog sled races until the Feb. 27-28 weekend. They’re hoping against hope that the winds will blow some snow our way to carry on a classic event that’s been a Centre Hastings staple for decades. The festival went ahead with its other events last weekend, however, and answered this question on its website: “Why doesn’t SnoFest postpone all events so that they all run on the same weekend as the races?” “The biggest reason is how much work has gone into organizing this weekend. We have secured permits, booked talent, gotten approval to close down a street, confirmed

volunteers, and paid for media while managing our website and social media to keep everyone up-to-date. And that doesn’t even include the work that has gone into preparing for the races. There are, at least, seven different organizing teams running the events. All volunteers. All who have been working for the past few months to pull this together. “With all that being said, you can see how it would be a massive undertaking to move the events that aren’t weather dependent to another weekend. We also, don’t have confirmation that the races will be able to run on our rain date either. So all could be for naught. “(Yes), the turnout would be better if the races were on, people love the dogs. And people travel for the dogs. But, this is something we will have to get used to in the coming years. There is always going to be cancelations when you depend on the perfect winter weather. What we are trying to do as a board is make the event sustainable and non-reliant on the weather. And I think, with our increase in programming, we are moving in that direction. There it is: “This is something we will have to get used to in the coming years…” Climate change deniers aside (and there are fewer and fewer of them as science is irrefutable on this point), we’re in for some wholesale changes in the way our winters come to us. Who among us can’t recall butt-deep snow from November to March in most of these parts in winters of 30 or so years past? Like it or not, we’re on a precipice of the change in our weather and things we took for granted for a good `ol Canadian winter may indeed be on the wane. But, until then, let’s pray for snow for the skiers and mushers and a good coat of ice for the ice fishers and snowmobiling crowds. After all, Old Man Winter is also a boost to many a pocketbook in this region and a mushy winter is no boon to any of those people.

Brighton Independent - Thursday, February 11, 2016 7
World-famous horse trainer and friend of mustangs main draw at this year’s fair Warkworth – Randy Bird, Canada’s legendary horse trainer best known for his work with mustangs, will be the featured attraction at this year’s Warkworth Fair.
Bird attended the annual general meeting of the Percy Agricultural Society Jan. 28 to begin making plans for his two days of shows at the 166th annual fair, which will have as its theme “Mustang Madness.” Bird, whose work in saving several wild mustangs in Wyoming from al-
most certain slaughter was documented in a 2011 film seen worldwide, told fair board members that “to do a good show you have to educate and entertain.” He does both, having honed his showmanship skills over the years while operating an equine education program at his ranch in Harwood.
“At a fair you need a little something for everyone and the more variety [it has] the more successful it is,” said Bird, who promised to “help make the fair a success” with his demonstrations as well as showings of his documentary, “Saving the Mustang,” which took five years to film.

The agricultural society will be looking for better results this September than it managed at last year’s fair when rain Saturday and Sunday forced the cancellation of more than a half-dozen events and drove down attendance. “It was a washout,” president Greg Torrance said after the meeting, but “it could have been a lot worse,” if not for the support of the people who did come, the work of volunteers, and a $10,600 Celebrate Ontario grant. The organization ended up finishing 2015 with a deficit of $8,354, in large part because gate receipts at the fair plunged from $11,880 in 2014 to $3,433. “We want to be able to recoup what we’re doing [and] get ourselves back up to a really good financial footing,” Torrance said of plans “to add to the fair more on the agricultural side this year” while moving away from “the motorized section that everybody’s got now.” To that end, the fair board has pencilled in sheep shearing, sheepdog herding, a crop competition (after a one-year absence), a magic act based on agriculture, and a Trent Hills Ambassador competition for children. Another new event is Touch-a-Truck, that will include trucks, cars and farm vehicles which children will be invited to see up close, “maybe sit in them,” Torrance said. Cobourg strongman Kevin Fast will be performing a feat of strength - possibly pulling a big combine, Torrance said as well as organizing Highland Games for amateurs to be held on the Sunday. A cooking demonstration will be held in the arena and winners of Warkworth Perfect Pie contests will be challenged to outdo each other in achieving perfection once again. “We’ve got a good base of shows that we’re going to put on,” Torrance said, “a plethora of events that are going to be interesting for anybody and everybody.” Getting Bird, an international star, to be a part of the fair is “just amazing,” Torrance said. “I’m looking forward to seeing his show.”

Brighton looks at marijuana zoning By Joyce Cassin Brighton - Brighton’s planning consultant, Darryl Tighe, has suggested council take a look at the steps involved should a medical marijuana facility wish to locate here. Mayor Mark Walas said he hasn’t heard of anyone wishing to open a facility in Brighton but thinks the municipality should be ready just in case. “I believe it’s our planner being proactive, to say, if in fact we were to get a request, it would leave the municipality in a sort of an awkward position right now, so he (Tighe) wanted some clarification...” Walas said. “And I think it’s reasonable because that way, then the council of the day, whenever that will be, if a request does come forward, then they’ll have the appropriate information in front of them to either permit this use to go ahead or not.” Several other area municipalities have already taken steps to make zoning plans for possible new marijuana enterprises in their communities. Kuipers wins at OMB hearing Len Kuipers, a Brighton developer who was turned down by council last year for a proposal to build a semi-detached home at 62 Chapel St., won at the Ontario Municipal Board hearing held in January. According to the staff report, he OMB approved both the consent application and rezoning to allow a similar structure as was constructed around the corner on Division Street. The estimated cost to taxpayers is
$15,000. Subdivision agreement not upheld Fifteen years after signing a subdivision agreement for Presqu’ile Landing, Paul Gauthier of Noel Property Management won’t have to fulfill his side of the deal. Council voted in favour of the Edgewater Street residents who didn’t want the agreed-upon sidewalk installed, although Gauthier isn’t getting off scot-free. Council passed a motion to change the agreement, making the developer pay 2016 prices for the same linear footage of sidewalk. It will just be used to construct sidewalks in other parts of the municipality instead. Coun. Steve Baker said he didn’t want to send a message to developers that if they procrastinate long enough, council will let them off on their agreement. He and Coun. John Martinello opposed the motion, which carried 5-2. Get on the bus Residents in Brighton can now travel to and from Trenton downtown for a $5 fee, which includes a transfer for the Trenton transit system.

New Northumberland naloxone kit program offered to reduce risk of overdose deaths
Comfort at an
unbeatable price The best choice for your heating oil and propane
Northumberland County – A new harm-reduction program in Northumberland County is taking direct aim at preventing deaths due to accidental drug overdoses. A new Naloxone Kit Distribution Program is being launched in Northumberland County by a local partnership of health, police, emergency medical services, and social service agencies. In a press release from the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit information about the new initiative was made public. The community AIDS resource network PARN, a Peterborough-based agency that provides regional support and health promotion for people infected and affected by HIV, and the Oshawa Community Health Centre are the lead local agencies for the Nalaxone Kit Distribution Program in Northumberland. Naloxone is an emergency medicine that temporarily revives a person who overdoses on opioids. It is meant as a short-term standby, until the individual can be taken to hospital for proper treatment. “This is great news that a life-saving medication like Naloxone is now available in our community to help prevent fatal overdoses,” stated Shawn Woods, a spokesperson for the program partners, and the manager of communicable disease control, epidemiology and evaluation with the Health Unit. “If even one life is saved or one accidental overdose is prevented, then the efforts to establish the Naloxone Kit Distribution Program in Northumberland will be well worth it.” Opioids are strong, highly-addictive prescription painkillers such as oxycodone, morphine, heroin and fentanyl. In recent years, overdose
deaths due to the misuse of opioids “have been increasing at an alarming rate.” Since the year 2000 alone, more than 5,000 Ontarians have died of an opioid overdose, the vast majority of which were unintentional cases, Woods noted. In Northumberland, the program will take place each month, providing Naloxone kits to opioid users themselves, both those who use the drugs medically or for non-medical reasons. Regardless of why a person takes opioids, Woods noted, any user can be at risk of a drug overdose. Often, an opioid overdose situation is made worse because people will not call 9-1-1 for fear of being arrested, Wood stated. “By educating community agencies, first responders, local law enforcement agencies and opioid users about the signs of overdose, how to use Naloxone, and the importance of calling 9-1-1 in an emergency, we feel confident that we can save lives by preventing unintentional overdoses.” Northumberland County is the first community within the Health Unit’s region to implement this program. Once established, Woods stated the Northumberland experience could be a model for creating similar distribution programs in the City of Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton County. To receive a Naloxone kit people will be required to attend a mandatory education session where they will be asked questions to determine if they are eligible for the program. Local residents can find out more information about the Naloxone Kit Distribution Program by calling PARN toll-free at 1-800-361-2895.

Local health unit urges the public to check for recalled products Port Hope - The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has issued a recall for salad products manufactured by Dole Fresh Vegetables Inc. at its Springfield, Ohio plant due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination. Public health inspectors with the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit have been contacting local restaurants, retail outlets, and organizations that serve food to ensure they do not use the recalled products. Any operators that still have the recalled products are being told to throw it out or contact their supplier to return the product. The recall includes Dole brand items as well as items sold under other brand names. These products can be identified by letter the “A” at the beginning of the manufacturing code found on the package. The full list of recalled products can be found on the CFIA website at www.inspection.gc.ca.
“Most of the local operators we have contacted have been aware of the food recall and have disposed of any recalled products,” stated Richard Ovcharovich, Manager, environmental health for the HKPR District Health Unit. Ovcharovich and his staff are also encouraging area residents to check their fridges for the recalled products and either discard them, or return them to the location where the product was purchased. As part of a national food recall of prepackaged salads and greens, the local health unit is contacting institutions that serve food to vulnerable populations (hospitals, longterm care homes, retirement homes, child care centres), restaurants and grocery stores to check for recalled products. Listeria is a type of bacteria that can be found in food, soil, plants, sewage and other places in nature. Eating food with
Listeria on it can cause a serious disease, become ill after eating one of the recalled called listeriosis, in high-risk groups.

Brighton - Although there have only been a few loyal followers of Brighton council’s budget process, before all the numbers are finalized, the public must have one last kick at the can. Brighton council, met as Committee of the Whole on Tuesday, Feb. 2 to finalize its budget numbers after some deliberations, and set the 2016 municipal budget at 2.53 per cent, with a blended rate including education and Northumberland County at 2.85 per cent. This amounts to about $8 more per month for a homeowner with an averaged price home worth $253,000. During Tuesday’s meeting, council concentrated on projects including reducing the repayment costs for the streetlight project by six months, saving about $28,000, and adding in
various road construction projects, of which some will be covered by the provincial gas tax funding and external borrowing, coming up with an increase of 3.28 per cent. After more deliberations, they included a donation to the Brighton Refugee Immigration needs Group (BRING) of $3,200 and increased the gas tax monies to anticipated funding coming in this year. In regard to the BRING donation, Coun. Steve Baker said he didn’t support a donation as there are people here who could use the support instead. Deputy Mayor Brian Ostrander suggested it is bad economics to borrow money they don’t yet have, but in the end, agreed to use gas tax money that would usually be allocated for the following year. Discussed, but with no decision coming forward, was setting aside

Petrick is hiding behind his journalistic views of Aboriginals. He should come clean and say he loves Sir John A. MacDonald. This is the first time I’ve heard about Sir John A. building a “splendid railroad.” History says that the Chinese built this “splendid railroad.” For every mile of track laid, three Chinese perished. Now that is nothing splendid. AND Christopher Columbus did not “discover” any land. That’s a myth of the worse kind. Regardless of how you cut it, Sir John A. is a bad cat. The blood on his hands goes a long ways into the Lake of Fire. He is responsible for instituting the Chinese Head Tax that has its trickle down effect allowing PM Mackenzie King to sign into law a piece of racist legislation known as, the “Chinese Exclusion Act.” Before we get into a debate into Sir John A.’s legacy, I gave up things of that nature a long time ago.

Cavity Free or Life? F
As you can see, all three keys must be present at the same time in order to get cavities. If you can control any one of these keys, you could be cavity free for life. Bacteria Control
Dr. Brian Ho In previous issues, the topic of discussion has been tooth decay and its causes. We also described three key components to the process of tooth decay. The first of these keys is cavity-causing bacteria and the second key is sugar. We have learned that if you feed the cavity-causing bacteria with sugar, they will eat the sugar and release lactic acid, which will create holes. These holes are what we call cavities.
• Do not share spoons with infants or avoid mouth-tomouth contact for at least two years after the appearance of their first tooth (This is usually around 6 months old). This will allow other non-cavity causing bacteria to grow first so that there won’t be enough room for the bad bacteria to sneak in.
• Controlling acidity in the mouth by using mouth rinses specially formulated for this purpose. One product that I recommend is called CariFree.Ask your dentist or search for it online. These bacteria tend to function poorly under Now let’s talk about the third alkaline conditions which and final key. can be achieved with mouth Third Key – Plaque rinses like Cari-free. • Chew gums containing Xylitol. Xylitol is a sugar-like substance that is taken up by cavity-causing bacteria. However, because the bacteria cannot utilize this sugar-like substance, bacterial death is the result. Sugar Control
Plaque Control Here is a diagram to • Brush at least two times a summarize the interaction of day for 2 minutes. the three keys of tooth decay. • Use an electric toothbrush • Floss daily (Try flossing while watching TV, it’s a great habit to adopt.) • Visit your dentist at least twice a year. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Plaque is the buildup of bacteria mixed with a number of substances that are attached to the tooth surface. Think of the plaque as a housing complex for the cavitycausing bacteria. In order for these cavity-causing bacteria to create holes in our teeth, they must stay close enough to the tooth surface to cause damage. To accomplish this, bacteria work together to form housings that allows them to remain in close proximity to teeth. We call these complexes plaque.

Local health unit concerned over potential changes to funding, Brighton could be affected Lindsay - The nine-person Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit faces a year of potential change in 2016, based on recent provincial announcements that could affect the way Ontario health units are funded and held accountable. Brighton programs and services could be affected. In a press released provided by the Health Unit it was noted that it has learned about a new provincial funding model for Ontario health units which freezes provincial funding to the base budgets of most health units in Ontario, including the HKPR District Health Unit, for the foreseeable future. Local Board members have warned a longterm funding freeze will amount to a cut in provincial funding as costs incurred by
health units continue to rise. To find savings, the Health Unit is already looking at all its operations for cost-efficiencies, including reviewing the way its programs and services are delivered in the Brighton area. Preliminary recommendations about what to do in Brighton are expected to be presented to the local Board of Health in March. Another major change that could affect Ontario health units are proposals announced in December 2015 as part of the Ontario government’s discussion paper, “Patients First: A Proposal to Strengthen Patient-Centred Health Care in Ontario”. The discussion paper proposes a closer integration between health units and Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs). In the proposal, health units would work more closely with LHINs to plan population
health services. LHINs would also assume Unit programs and services could be lost control over provincial funding for health under the “Patients First” proposal. In the units and their accountability agreements coming months Board members will gather with the province. more information about the discussion “The Patients First discussion paper is paper and consult with their public health a very important announcement by the colleagues elsewhere in Ontario about what province because it has significant potential it could mean. implications for public health units and other sectors,” Ben Hyatt local Medical Officer of Health Dr. Lynn Noseworthy Sales Consultant told Board members. “We (613) 969-1166 need to ensure proper checks bhyatt@bellevillemitsubishi.ca and balances are in place to protect public health programs and services.” Board of Health members echoed the sentiment BELLEVILLE MITSUBISHI warning that local decision720 Dundas Street West, Belleville, ON K8N 5B5 making regarding Health

Brighton council in brief Feb. 1 meeting By Joyce Cassin Council code of conduct to make a comeback Mayor Mark Walas and Councillor Mary Tadman have decided to try and give a Council Code of Conduct another whirl after being instrumental in eliminating the last one a year ago this week. Walas says it makes sense now to review it again with all the talk of accountability and transparency happening in council chambers lately. “Now that the office of the Ombudsman has taken a greater role in the oversight of public organizations, it only makes sense for council to come back and review the decision,” Walas said. He added that staff will be asked to bring back a best practices model before moving forward. The motion will come before council during the Feb. 16 meeting. Freedom is costly province-wide A recent story on the cost of a freedom of information requests lead to a report on costs provided by Deputy Clerk Vicki Kimmett this week. Mayor Mark Walas says it’s not the cost of freedom in Brighton,
it’s the cost of FOI requests in the province. There were several complaints of the costs being rather excessive, but Kimmett says she’s only following the costs outlined in the Act. There were nine FOI requests last year, and three so far this year. Previously there were none. Kimmett previously stated there was one in the past seven years. Lakeside Landing subdivision mum on fill issues Mayor Mark Walas’ subdivision is stalled after four residents teamed up to take the matter to the Ontario Municipal Board, all with individual appeals. Meanwhile resident Ray Yurkowski, whose home backs onto the proposed subdivision south of Lakeshore, has been trying to get answers to his questions and says he’s being stonewalled. He approached council in December, asking questions about fill being dumped on the lands that appears to be in violation of the municipal property standards bylaws. Coun. John Martinello told council Monday night that Yurkowski deserves answers. Due to the lack of staff at the meeting, the matter was referred

One game left in disappointing season for last-place Rebels By John Campbell Campbellford – Mired in last place, eight points out of playoff spot, the Campbellford Rebels will close out the 2015-16 season Saturday night at home against the Amherstview Jets.
The Empire B Junior C Hockey League club never did get untracked, managing only nine wins and a tie, after getting off to a rough start when the coach chosen to lead the team quit before the season opener. Now the team is advertising for a
new general manager on its website, with those interested in the position being told to submit their applications to president Jim Peeling by Feb. 28 The Rebels’ futility continued last Saturday when the visiting Picton Pirates went home with a 5-3 win, despite yielding a pair of goals by Campbell-
ford’s Riley McGuire and Jeremiah Doherty 26 seconds apart with less than two minutes to play in the game. Doherty assisted on Brenan Rylott’s power play goal in the second period that cut the Pirates’ lead in half. Stark Travis in his third appearance in net for the Rebels made 23 saves.

Colborne – With two games left to play this week in their regular season, the Colborne Chiefs were hoping to snap a tie for eighth spot with the Orangeville Ice Crushers in the Central Division of the Greater Metro Junior A Hockey League. The two teams began the week with 30 points in 40 games but Orangeville has one more win with 14. The Chiefs were scheduled to play the Oshawa RiverKings on the road Feb. 8 and then close at home Feb. 10 against the Bradford Rattlers. Colborne has yet to defeat Oshawa this season, losing 9-1, 8-1, 6-1 and 7-3 before taking the RiverKings to overtime Jan. 20 in a game that ended 10-9 in favour of Oshawa. The Chiefs and Rattlers had only played once prior to Wednesday’s match, with the Rattlers winning the first encounter 5-0 last November. Bradford holds down second spot in the Central Division, with 56 points; Oshawa is in fifth, with 48, the same as the Bradford Bulls. After winning three of five in an eightday span, including a 22-3 thumping of the Bobcaygeon Storm, Colborne dropped both of its road games last weekend, 10-1 to the firstplace Tottenham Steam and 10-5 to the fourth-

Playoffs begin for Peewee Leo League and Percy Bulldogs By Jake Whalen Warkworth - The Peewee Leo League regular season is over and the round robin portion of the playoffs has started. Percy ended the regular season in second place of seven teams. For the round robin portion of the playoffs the top four teams play a home and home against each other, with the top two of that round going head to head for the championship. The Percy Bulldogs lost their first playoff game to the Apsley Flames on Fri. Jan. 29 with a score of 6-2. Percy then travelled to Campbellford on Wed. Feb. 3 and took that game 5-2. On Fri. Feb. 5, Percy hosted Campbellford and the result was flipped with Campbellford winning
4-2. Percy Bulldogs travelled to Apsley on Sunday, Feb. 6 for a 10 a.m. game and apparently the Bulldogs like getting up early as they beat Apsley for the first time this year! Riley McKenzie started the scoring off for the Bulldogs with a shot from the blue line on a breakout pass from Jake Trottman. Apsley answered back two minutes later on an unassisted goal from Mason Bolton. Brandon Lindt put in a rebound with 5.5 minutes left to play in the first on a shot from Adam McDonald. The Flames did not want the first period to end without evening the score and with 23 seconds left to play, Bolton netted another one unassisted. The Bulldogs started to open things
up in the second period, scoring three goals. Defenseman Graison Morrison joined the rush to tap in a beauty pass from McKenzie for the first. The next two came from McKenzie assisted by Michael Burgess and Evan Desjardins on both. Bolton answered back late in the second again for the Flames to make the score 5-3 for Percy after two periods. McKenzie would finish the scoring for Percy with two more goals in the third, both set up by Trottman and the last goal scored on the empty net. Luke King put in one in the third unassisted for the Flames. Final score 7-4 for the Percy Bulldogs. Come cheer on the Bulldogs at home on Friday, Feb. 12 at 7:30 p.m. as they Noah Kelly #17 taking a shot. Brandon Lindt #18 on left wing and Adam McDonald on right wing #82. host Otonabee Black.

Local curlers could make it to the Brier Special to Metroland Media Trenton - This past Sunday afternoon, the Trenton Curling Club television was tuned to Glen Howard battling Mike Harris for Ontario’s spot at the Tim Horton’s Brier in Ottawa in March. Meanwhile, out on our ice, six Little Rock Teams were battling for the same honour. The event was the Ottawa Curling Association Zone Four Regional playoffs, in which the top two teams would advance to the Provincial finals to be held in Winchester at the end of February. There were two teams each from Trenton Curling Club, Quinte (Belleville), and Campbellford Curling Clubs. The spiel consisted of three four-end games. Points were awarded at 20 for a win, zero for a loss, and 10 for a tie. Ends won were worth two points each and as well as one for the each game point scored. In the second draw, first place would play last place, and so on. This format levels the playing field for all skill levels and was repeated for the third draw. After two games, Quinte Two was in a commanding lead with 61 points. The next team (Campbellford Two) sat at 38, while Trenton’s teams sat in the cellar at 35 and 10. It looked grim for the home teams but there
was still a statistical chance that Trenton One could advance. It needed a win plus a win for Quinte One over Quinte Two. All three games were played with an intensity rarely seen in such youngsters. Meanwhile the crowd applauded each shot made, as parents proudly proclaimed, “that’s my kid.” Quinte One scored one in the first end, blanked the second and scored one more in the third to take a 2-0 lead. Quinte skipper Brooke Ramsay’s had one in the four foot nestled against an opposition stone. His attempted take-out for the tie bumped a guard and it was 2-1 win for Quinte One (now at 63 points). However, Quinte Two added four more points for a day total of a formidable 65 points. Meanwhile, Campellford One dueled against Trenton Two in another close match. After a blank in the first, Campbellford came back to score one in the second. Then it was all
Trenton as they scored one each in the third and fourth to win 3-1. In order to advance, Trenton One needed a huge score. They scored a deuce in the first and added four more in the second for a 6-0 lead. Some parents, afraid to watch, went for a walk. Trenton blew away opposition guards in the third and scored three more for a 9-0 lead before yielding 2 in the fourth for a 9-2 win and a total of 69 points for the bonspiel win. Remember Glen Howard at the beginning of this article? Well, the Trenton One and Quinte Two teams will advance to aplaydown spiel in Winchester,
but the top two teams in that spiel will play for the championship on the national stage between the Paige Playoff games at the Tim Horton’s Brier in Ottawa. Congratulations and good luck to both teams. We wish to thank our volunteers, curling instructors, and awesome

Marmora SnoFest 2016 – Wasn’t that a party?
A big smile was the typical reaction of the children as they tried their first outing with a dog sled at Marmora’s SnoFest. Photo by Margriet Kitchen
By Margriet Kitchen Marmora – A SnoFest weekend without snow didn’t slow things down one bit for the people of Marmora. The business association planned downtown events. Forsyth Street closed down Saturday to host entertainment such as face painting for the children, an antique snowmobile display, a live band and the Little Nippers race. Nicole and Shane Cox brought eight sled dogs in for the race, and the municipality trucked in snow for a rac-
ing lane on Forsyth Street. Thirty-one children took part, with Avery Coe of Marmora the winner of the 2016 Little Nippers trophy. Forsyth St. merchants set up stands on the street, giving shoppers the opportunity to enjoy food, free hot chocolate and shopping. Many people enjoyed the St. Andrew’s United Church dinner put on by the Deloro UCW. The Community Centre was the scene of the artisans and food market along with story telling courtesy of the
library. Friday night, the Marmora’s Got Talent show kicked off the weekend activities with a large number of very talented singers, dancers and comedians. Organizers were pleased with the event and are thankful for all the volunteer help from different organizations that went into making it a success. Dog sled races will take place on the weekend of Feb. 27-28. Find out Dog sled sponsor Nicole Cox provided encouragement and a steadying hand as she ran with each more at <www.marmorasnofest.ca>. of the 31 racers as they raced up Forsyth St. during the Little Nippers Dog Sled Race.

Overall, Keiver praised the record of close co-operation between 8 Wing and surrounding municipalities, with a recent agreement signed with Belleville to create a local branch of the Military Family Resource Centre, one of several now in place. He went on to stress the importance of such support. “Our personnel can’t do their jobs properly if their spouses and children aren’t being properly supported at home while they’re away.” Asked about Syrian refugees, he said the base was originally assigned
The return of a major air show to CFB Trenton this summer still awaits final approval from Ottawa, Col. Colin Keiver announced to a large gathering of local service clubs this past week. He said he expects that approval before the end of this month and plans are going forward full speed ahead. While attendance at many air shows has drawn between 60,000 to 80,000, Keiver said he has instructed his staff to shoot for at least 100,000 at the rejuvenated Quinte edition. Agreeing that traffic and parking will be major problems, Keiver said; “We’ve hired a top notch consultant on this from the United States and he will do a complete study of all park-
a job to shelter and look after a large number, but this has now been set aside for the time being, allowing smoother transition of new refugees into the community. He also assured, when questioned, that regular summer air cadet camps will continue. He closed by extending an invitation for the public to make full use of the world class National Air Force Museum and the base’s 18-hole golf club. The noon luncheon drew a near capacity crowd to the Belleville Banquet Centre, where the Kiwanis Club of Belleville was host. Representatives from two Rotary, two Probus, Lions, Kinettes and other Kiwanis Clubs also attended.

of the Quinte Landlord’s Association. The association currently has about 50 members, a small number likely owing to the fact that previously the association mostly communicated through word of mouth. To become a member, landlords usually had to know a member. “I’m looking to change that and be of service to many more landlords, especially new and small scale landlords who are particularly vulnerable to the numerous industry pitfalls and risks,” said Gentile. He said the association formed about 15 years ago to help the local landlord community with networking and sharing of information that usually takes place at monthly dinner meetings. A press release issued by the group to announce Gentile’s appointment made no secret of the group’s concerns. It suggested landlords in Ontario face some of the toughest rental regulations in the country and it referred to Ontario’s rental tribunal system – a system tenants can go to solve a dispute with a landlord – as “broken.” “Newbie landlords, and even experienced ones who let down their guard, can be eaten alive by fraudulent tenants, strict regulations, and the broken rental tribunal system.” Gentile said in the release. “It can mean the difference between solvency and bankruptcy in many cases.” When asked to elaborate on concerns with regulations and the tribunal system, Gentile said, “Where do I start? If you take a look at our website, the first thing you will see is a telling quote by Justice Ted Matlow, who finally said what many in the industry have long complained about; that the existing regulations in Ontario allow dishonest Continued on page B6
TRAVEL
A Visit to Mexico’s Exquisite Baja Peninsula By John M. Smith
walked toward town, though, I passed the popular Medano Beach, where there were many swimmers. There were also several vendors along the beach, but a fence had been erected so that the vendors were not allowed to bother people soaking up the sun by their resorts. Also, I soon discovered that if you simply said “no thanks” to their offers of cheap goods, then they would not bother you further. We left our resort and took a guided tour of the area on one of our vacation days, and this proved to be very informative. We discovered that Los Cabos is subdivided into two distinct sections, for the tranquil, colonial village of San Jose del Cabo retains the look and feel of an authentic Mexican town, with its central main square, mission church, and cobblestone streets. However, the more touristy destination of Cabo San Lucas, located at the other end of the 33 km. “Tourist Corridor”, with its luxury mall, souvenir shops, and expensive boutiques, is home to so many celebrities that it’s often referred to as “Little L.A.” (property owners include George Clooney, Cindy Crawford, Sylvester Stallone, Brad Pitt, and Bill Gates). This is “the party place”, so there are lots of nightclubs accompanying the yacht-filled harbour. One particularly popular spot is the Cabo Wabo Cantina, which was opened back in 1990 by Van Halen’s Sammy Haggar. At that time, Cabo San Lucas was not much more than a placid fishing village, but it has since emerged into a very popular tourist destination, and the “Tourist Corridor” is now home to many lavish resorts, spas, and golf courses (designed The Arch (El Arco) is the area’s most distincby such golfers Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman, and Tiger tive landmark.

Every Christmas, I plan a winter vacation for my wife and myself, and this year’s destination was Mexico’s Los Cabos. Friends of ours, Bob and Marlene LaFrance, had gone there just prior to Christmas and had raved about it, so we decided to check it out, too. After all, we enjoy visiting new places, and it was certainly going to be warmer there than here, so we booked the trip and went for a week of relaxation amid the sand and surf at our selected all-inclusive resort, the Riu Palace. This resort turned out to be a great choice, for it was beautiful, with stunning landscaping, immaculately kept grounds, large pools, and wonderful restaurants. The fridge in our oceanfront suite was restocked daily, and the room was cleaned twice every day. We’d often spend the afternoon by a pool or on the beach, then have a shower and a change of clothes before dinner. When we’d return to our suite after dining, we’d find that the room had again been tidied and the used towels had all been replaced. There was often a towel animal to greet us on our bed. What a nice touch! My wife’s favourite daily ‘activity’ was to simply lounge by a pool, relax, enjoy the sunshine, and catch up on some reading. I could do this for some of the time, but then I’d get anxious to go exploring. Therefore, we soon got into the routine, each morning, to have breakfast together and then find the best poolside spot to plant ourselves. Then I’d soon depart to go for a long walk along the beach, before the heat of the day would make this more of a chore. I discovered that this was a particularly nice place for a leisurely stroll, for there was a wide, sandy beach amid a very picturesque setting. I’d be looking out at a unique rock formation at Land’s End, a place that I would later get an ‘up close and personal’ view of via a boat cruise. I’d also be gazing out at the cruise ships that were docked in this area for the day. I walked all the way to town and back on one occasion, and I walked to the outcropping of rocks in the other direction on another day (where I watched some fishermen casting out their lines directly from shore – and got some nice photos of large sand crabs that had joined me on the beach walk). There was also a lot of activity along the shoreline, including kayaks, paddleboards, wave runners (sea-doos), glass bottom boats, and parasailers. Horseback riding in the sand was also available and popular, as was simply walking or jogging along the shoreline. However, swimming was not recommended here, for there was a very strong, dangerous undertow. As I I walked to the town of Cabo San Lucas via the beach.

detail. If a landlord makes one minor error on a form, the case can be thrown out, he said. Meanwhile, a tenant the landlord has issues with can remain in the unit. Also, decisions made by the board often take months. So an investigation into a tenant accused of not paying rent can take a toll on a landlord, who must wait for that decision even if they’re doing without rent payments they need to pay their own bills. These, among other issues, speak to the need for landlords to share information so they know what challenges they may face. “Some landlords think they can do fine on their own and not be part of a landlord group - that is foolhardy,” Gentile said. “Experienced landlords who Robert Gentile was recently elected President of the Quinte Landlord’s As- are our members say they always learn sociation.

Kismet. Karma. Fate. Take your pick, Gentle Reader. A few days ago I was thinking about a topic for this week’s column and of the several I had in mind, none really jumped up and down saying, “Pick me, and pick me!” I was ambivalent. That’s not to say one was better than an other: each will receive its own column in due time. On Friday afternoon, I was re-arranging an air plant display, “potting up” a gruesomely “tentacled” specimen, when the tillandsia tickled my muse and inserted themselves into the running. That Saturday morning, the Globe and Mail carried an excellent Marjorie Harris article on the very same group of plants. Even more, on the afternoon of that same Saturday a tour through the county had us visiting Lockyer’s Country Gardens and, wouldn’t you know it, cleverly arranged on a dried up stump was a Tim Burton landscape of... tillandsia. So, tillandsia it is. Most of us are not sure what a tillandsia is but we are familiar with air plants, and since they’re one and
the same, most of us now know. They’re the usually wispy plants, more wisp than anything, often with a magnet glued to their base, clinging to refrigerator doors and range hoods. Tillandsia are epiphytes, meaning they can derive all their nourishment from “stuff” floating about in the air, hence “air plants.” Some lichen, some orchids; in fact, many genera contain epiphytes. Perhaps the best known tillandsia is Spanish Moss, aka Tillandsia usneoides. These are strange looking chappies, hence the reference to film producer Tim Burton- Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride and Beetlejuice. One of the scarier looking species is T. bulbosa, sort of a cross between a squid and a sentinel (the destructive machines in The Matrix) followed closely by T.psuedobaileyi which is almost a slimy-smooth twin. That’s not to say these are plants in which nightmares propagate although T. caputmedusae makes a compelling argument otherwise. If I were to attempt a literal translation I would come up “air plant that
Dan Clost looks like medusa’s head.” So no matter how much lipstick this lassie layers on, the snakes are still going to slither through your nocturnal thoughts. Some are structurally beautiful while others sport stunningly hued leaves while others put out neon coloured flowers. The purple hued T. stricta looks like a frozen miniature black Mondo grass that strayed up to Zone 4. T. fushi is like an unprepossessing hedgehog, albeit a green one, until it puts forth a long stem with phosphorescent oranges, pinks and blue bracts and petals. Perhaps the most colourful- in terms of flower is T. cyanea with a broadly oval flower head approximately 5 inches long and up to inches wide.

Ken Tizzard to showcase at the East Coast Music Week
Campellford – Local musician Ken Tizzard has found his groove. “I am honoured to be chosen to showcase at East Coast Music Week. Great company ... ,” are the words he posted on his Facebook page announcing he has been invited to perform in Sydney, Nova Scotia from April 13–16. His music has morphed from rock and roll to a more “folksy” sound as demonstrated when he produced his latest solo CD No Dark No Light, launched last March. “Folksy is not really new to me. When I was growing up I listened to a lot of it, Bob Dylan for example. I was always influenced by folk music,” he commented. During his early
Up In the Air Continued from page B6 land Nursery in Vancouver: “dumb plants.” He calls them such because they don’t die, they just sit there. How do you care for these chappies? Don’t let them get cold. If you’re house is exceptionally dry, e.g. your cat looks like a balloon fish every time it walks across the carpet, you might mist your tillandsia once a week, sparingly. Here’s a question a perspicacious GR might have been hanging on to whilst reading this column; in the second paragraph I mentioned I was potting one up. Why would you do that? We had some tall rectangular clear glass vases which I hid filled with small, plain gravel. I placed the base of a T. bulbosa on the top of the gravel, held it centred with my fingers and then shook the vase. The plant gently eased down into the stones, thus planting itself. Tillandsia also lends themselves to dry terrariums, stone and gnarly wood decorations, and fairy landscapes, especially if you’re slipping in a “low rent “district for Goth elves. From tillandsia it’s only a short step to other self-sufficient plants such as cacti, echeveria, aloes and the like. Just think you can fill your entire house with low care plants. In fact they take less care than plastic plants because you have to dust the latter whereas, with the former, dust is their food. End notes- I visited with Campbellford and District Horticultural Society this past week. Glenn Bennett was judging several tables of entries with a very firm hand displaying the rare quality of providing critique without criticism- as it is semantically interpreted. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. And the week previous, the folks at the Brighton Horticultural Society were looking at Gardening 101 as many were downsizing to smaller gardens. This is another hort club who has its act together- a real pleasure. I confess I tried to push a few buttons with a mini-rant about native plants and native soils but this group was so genteel.
career playing bass he “hooked up with a rock and roll band and it turned into 25 years of playing rock and roll which was amazing.” Then about 10 years ago he made a conscious effort to focus “on my own stuff and I knew that was going to be folk country, Americana, whatever you want to call it.” That change in focus brought him to where he is today, accepting an invitation to attend and be part of the East Coast festival. The event is also a conference, export buyers program and a celebration, where awards will be presented in a multitude of categories from Aboriginal Artist of the Year to Album of the Year, Event of the Year to Manager of the Year and more. Described as a “born storyteller,” Tizzard travelled the country with his band The Watchmen, yet remains grounded with his family in Campbellford. He continues to entertain locally on Wednesday evenings from 9 to 11 p.m. at the Church Key Pub. He views his change in direction to music that is more “folksy” as having a grassroots focus, “Unlike the rock and roll world which is very corporate ... it took a few records to finally find my groove.” His invitation to attend the east coast festival will see him on one of several stage venues, the Songwriters’ Circle. “It’s a big thing getting in front of talent buyers,” he noted. “This is a different world from rock and roll and these showcases are hard to get into.” His trip to the east coast will not be a first as Tizzard was born in Newfoundland. The release of his CD No Dark No Light last year reflected his desire to return to those roots. He continues to travel to Newfoundland to perform. No Dark No Light is described as a CD where “its acoustic country meets folk ambience and is in sharp contrast to his previous album, 2012’s The Goodness of Bad Intent. Recorded with his trio Bad Intent, that album was built around the evocative sounds of the pedal steel and it fea-

tured more of a rock ‘n roll vibe.” He is looking forward to his five days in Sydney and said, “It’s promotion but promotion is one thing ... when you step on stage you don’t think like that. When you step on stage I entertain and that’s what I love to do.”

Bay of Quinte MP Neil Ellis appointed to Veterans Affairs committee By Stephen Petrick
have three Conservatives and one member of the NDP. Back in August, Ellis was standing by Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau when the soon-to-be prime minister unveiled a major campaign promise during a stop in Belleville. The party promised to re-open seven Veterans Affairs offices closed by the previous Conservative government and invest about $300 million per year for veterans services. That included nearly $100 million more per year for veteran family support services, and $80 million per year for a new Veterans Education Benefit, among other pledges. Ellis said he’s excited to begin working on the committee, but the first task at hand will be for the com-
mittee to elect a chair when it meets for the first time on Feb. 16. After that, he expects things will move swiftly. “We have an ambitious platform,” Ellis said. “A lot of this was to be moved through as soon as possible.” Ellis said he’s particularly happy to be on the committee, given that the new Bay of Quinte riding covers CFB Trenton. As a result, there’s a large number of veterans living in the area.

New Bay of Quinte Member of Parliament Neil Ellis has been appointed to the federal government’s veterans affairs committee. It’s a role he’s “very happy” to take on, given the riding’s strong military ties and his party’s recent promise to offer more support to those who’ve served. “This will be a busy committee,” Ellis said in a phone interview from his Parliament Hill office on Feb. 2. “It (supporting veterans) was a major plank in our platform.” The committee is expected to meet twice a week and examine all matters related to Veterans Affairs Canada. Ellis is one of six MPs from Bay of Quinte MP Neil Ellis speaks on the phone at his Belleville constitu- the ruling Liberal Party on the committee. It will also ency office. Photo by Stephen Petrick
Ellis said, to the government’s knowledge, there are about 700,000 military veterans living in the country, of which about 75,000 are veterans of the Second World War or Korean War. He also noted he knows how important it is to pay tribute to veterans, as his father served in the Second World War. “Growing up in a household with a veteran I understand the importance of the issues on this file,” he said.
Correction
A report from Hastings County Council concerning Stirling-Rawdon and its police costs included some errors. Mayor Rodney Cooney has said that the $6 million loss reported in the story is incorrect. The figure he actually gave was $1.6 miliion He also explained that the loss was not really related to police, but rath-
er provincial funding policies that keep cutting his municipality out, a form of downloading. He said his council has more meetings planned with provincial officials to review figures and policies, but remains concerned that small rural municipalities will continue to suffer from lack of understanding by Torontobased bureaucrats.
