Lions support school food programs

By Joyce Cassin

YOU R INDEPENDENT GROCER

News - Brighton - The Brighton Lions have been very busy raising money for local causes, as was shown Monday when Lion Astrida Jenkinson-Chalmers handed out cheques to local schools. East Northumberland Secondary School received $1,000, while Spring Valley, Smithfield, Murray Centennial and Brighton Public Schools received $500 each. “The program was started in the nineties with the intent of providing a breakfast snack for children that, for whatever reason, had not eaten breakfast,� Jenkinson-Chalmers said. “Funding was calculated on a dollar amount per student so that each school received a different amount.� Now she said that the money can be used for whatever the school decides: scarves, mitts, hats, etc. Brighton Public School principal John Goheen said the school started out with a snack program, then decided to offer sit-down meals each morning. “There’s a sit-down breakfast for kids who don’t have a hot breakfast before heading out to school,� Goheen said. “And those who are light on lunch, can come by and pick up a snack.� He said he knows what it’s like getting ready in the morning, with one child in school and another in daycare, and it’s difficult to ensure everyone has a good meal before leaving the house. Loretta Eddy, one of the secretaries who takes part in the breakfast program, said they started with breakfast bins delivered to

the classrooms, and now they have a different breakfast menu for each day of the week, anything from hot cereal, to bagels, to fresh fruit and cheese, and yogurt parfaits. Eddy said students taking part in the afterschool reading groups are also welcome to stop by for a snack. Eddy, who works with Deb Hoogwerf on the program, said servers volunteer beginning at 7:45 followed by other volunteers, including older students, during the program. “It’s open to everyone,� she said. Volunteers are always needed. Anyone interested in volunteering can contact your local schools for more information.

believe that having gas pumps back on that spot would necessarily increase the flow of traffic.� Seeing that the proposal is designed to serve up to 12 vehicles at a time how can he really believe that to be the case? Why does he not believe the report from the transportation consultant that there are traffic and safety issues? Mayor Walas has also argued that many of the existing businesses in this area are vehicle oriented and that the gas station is just one more. Does he not appreciate that a gas station is a very different kettle of fish. It is

accept it? The answer seems to be that it is “the only offer on the table,� not surprising since the owner has not put the property on the open market, but no reason not to press for something better. It seems to this observer that the underlying reason is that four council members want the “quick win� for their team by clearing up the empty site and are prepared to sacrifice safety and the ambience of our downtown to achieve that goal. Fortunately the OMB will have the final say. Dave Cutler, Brighton

Voicing my opinion

who are forming a group to oppose the development of the Esso gas station property), and see it to a conclusion. Dave Cutler and David Green feel that council neither understands the interests of the business community nor have the insight for future development of Brighton. They might be right. However, what they do not take into account is the possibility that a majority of the council

Rotary Club of Brighton, January,

actually do understand what has been presented to them, but just don’t agree. Brighton Council did vote to not spend more time and money on the cultural trade centre as it was proposed, but they did say clearly that if the business community brought forward a more cohesive, costed plan, they would be willing to reconsider the issue. As a local business person, who is also a taxpayer, I think that is an appropriate response to any 2015 initiative.

Despite having a few Snowbird Rotarians being away for the winter, we are still keeping ourselves busy. Speakers this past month included Linda Jerenimus and Peter Dibbits who represent “Serve� – a North American youth organization can with local support for many years now. Our Brighton youth have taken a week from their summer holidays to go to other communities in Ontario and US to serve by providing labour to those in need in various communities. They typically are organized into small groups of 5 youth with an adult mentor / leader. This year, Brighton was elected to be a host community from July 11-18. It is a three year commitment. They hope to have 50 students and so far, 27 registered so far. They are looking for projects that the students can complete eg cleaning, painting, carpentry, concrete work etc.

I would prefer that a gas station not be built on the empty ESSO lot, but I do not object to having the station there either, as historically there had been a gas station on the site for decades, and any other new development on that site will also have traffic issues. There will be people for and against any development of that site and council has the right to decide on behalf of its citizens what they would like.

Dear Editor, The statements of the four members of Brighton Council that assented to the zoning change permitting the construction of a highway-size gas station in Brighton’s historic downtown raise some interesting questions. On January 19 three of them commented as follows: Councillor McMurray - “It’s not proper for the municipality to be driving business away–welcome to Mac’s for investing in our town.� Does that mean he welcomes any business in any location regardless of zoning

agree with, but I would never state, as has Mr. Green, (who clearly disagrees with much of what Brighton Council is doing), that it is “an affront to the democratic process.� What both Mr. Green and Mr. Cutler miss, is that this council was elected only four months ago by a majority of the citizens of Brighton who gave it a clear mandate for change. The fact that the councillors are not behaving in the manner, or voting in favour of what they feel to be important, does not make the process less democratic. Newly elected municipal governments, like their provincial and federal counterparts, are not bound to the policy of the previous government. Mike Harris did not follow Bob Rae’s plans just because they were already in place. John Tory is not obliged to go the path of Rob Ford now that he is mayor of Toronto. Even though there is a development plan in place for Brighton, this newly elected council is not bound to carry on with it, if a majority of council feel otherwise. A last comment would be to criticize the Brighton Independent which has used inflammatory headlines like “Downtown Brighton under attack� and “Brighton citizens fight back� along with biased reporting of these events. Starting a story with “Residents in Brighton are tired of council not listening to them and are planning to fight back� when not used as a quote, becomes a statement by the reporter, Joyce Cassin (herself a failed council candidate). How citizens could be tired of a council four months old that is “not listening� seems absurd. I attended a meeting while council sat and listened to more than 14 people in a row speaking on behalf of the proposed centre. The fact that they didn’t vote to move forward on this endeavour does not mean that they didn’t listen. I would assert that the majority of citizens in Brighton have not yet formed an opinion good or bad about this council in such a short time. Inflammatory comments and headlines by the paper help to create ill feeling toward government generally. Now that is something that does not serve democracy. Frank Amstutz, Brighton

OPINION

Ukraine ceasefire? Editorial - Angela Merkel grew up under Communist rule in the old East Germany. She speaks fluent Russian. She has been the chancellor of Germany for the past ten years. And for all that time she has been negotiating with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, on wide variety of subjects–including, for the past year, Ukraine. They Gwynne Dyer may not like each other much, but they certainly know each other. So listen to what Angela Merkel said about the debate in the U.S. military, in the Congress, and even in the White House about sending direct American military aid to the Ukrainian government. “I cannot imagine any situation in which improved equipment for the Ukrainian army leads to President Putin being so impressed that he believes he will lose militarily,” she said. “I have to put it that bluntly.” Does anybody think that Angela Merkel is wrong about this? Does any sane person think Putin would flee in panic if he hears that the U.S. is going to send Ukraine “defensive weapons” (anti-tank weapons, anti-artillery radar and the like)? If not, then this is crazy talk. Nobody in the United states is talking about sending state-of-the-art U.S. tanks and planes to Ukraine, and they’re certainly not offering to send American troops. Secretary of State John Kerry is merely talking about giving some sophisticated “defensive weapons” to an army that doesn’t even use the weapons it has very well. The Ukrainian army is poorly trained, badly led, and controlled by a government in Kiev that is as incompetent as it is corrupt. It sometimes wins when it is fighting the equally ragtag troops of the two breakaway “republics” of Donetsk and Lugansk. But if the Ukrainian government troops and the assorted volunteer battalions that fight alongside them start to win, then the Russians send in a few thousand well-trained soldiers and push the Ukrainians back. That’s what happened last August, and now it’s happening again. Putting more advanced “defensive weapons” in Ukrainian hands is not going to change this pattern, and military professionals in Washington know it. This proposal is pure, strategyfree tokenism. Of course, Putin’s stated concerns about Western plots to draw Ukraine into NATO are not very rational either. He’s exceptionally ill-informed if he thinks that Western European countries like France and Germany would let Ukraine join NATO, since that would mean they were taking on a treaty obligation to fight Russia on Ukraine’s behalf. He’s completely deluded if he takes his own

military’s hoary arguments about Ukraine’s military importance seriously. It is 2015, not 1945, and Russia has lots of nuclear weapons. It simply doesn’t matter whether NATO’s tanks are far from Russia’s border or close to it. Wherever they are, nuclear deterrence still works. And Putin can’t really be worried about the example that a democratic and prosperous Ukraine might set for his own people. Ukrainian incomes are far lower than Russian ones (thanks mainly to Russian oil and gas), and the West shows no inclination to pour money into Ukraine in quantities large enough to change that. And though Ukraine is more democratic than Russia, its government is no less corrupt. What drives Putin, therefore, is a grab-bag of emotional motives. His man in Kiev got overthrown, and he doesn’t like to lose face. Even if Ukraine has little strategic or economic importance, it was part of Russia for 300 years, and he hates the idea that it might just slide into the West on his watch. He shares the paranoia about the evil intentions of the West that every Russian inherits (for very good historical reasons). None of this is worth a full-scale war in Ukraine, let alone a serious military confrontation with the West or a new Cold War. Maybe if the United States were prepared to go in boots and all, showering Ukraine with weapons, money and even U.S. troops, Putin might back away, although it would be a terrible risk to take. But some token “defensive weapons,” basically to make Americans feel better? That involves less risk of a huge Russian over-reaction, admittedly, but it would still be a big step toward a new Cold War, and for no possible gain. That is why Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande flew to Moscow last Friday: to head Kerry off by patching up some new ceasefire (or reviving the old one) in eastern Ukraine. They will be meeting with Putin and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in Minsk on Wednesday in the hope that they can make it happen. At best, that would mean the effective loss of Ukrainian sovereignty over two more provinces (Crimea is already gone), and a semi-permanent “frozen conflict” on Ukraine’s eastern border. Not great, but realistically Ukraine has no better options anyway. We know Putin is willing to settle for such “frozen conflicts” in order to cripple disobedient former Soviet republics, because he has already done it with Moldova and Georgia. We know that the victims of such tactics can thrive despite Moscow’s games. Georgia certainly does, and Ukraine could do even better with strong European Union and U.S. support. There is no satisfactory military solution for either side. Settle for a stalemate, and move on.

I know I’m old-fashioned, but I believe in buying CDs By Stephen Petrick

Editorial - I recently covered the Jefferson Starship show at Belleville’s Empire Theatre, which was opened by a young, talented brother-sister band called Instant Rivalry. The performers told the crowd they had hoped to release an album soon, pending the results of their “crowdfunding” campaign. As a music fan who feels compelled to support good young artists, that word, crowdfunding, breaks my heart. Crowdfunding is the act of soliciting public donations through social media to fund a project. Artists of virtually all mediums do it now, particularly musicians who are fighting to survive in era where few people purchase traditional albums and the few record companies that still exist aren’t likely to take a chance on new artists because they fear their records won’t sell. The fact few people buy music on CD or vinyl records anymore is no one person’s fault. It’s a reality of our times and the decline in record sales has been happening ever since the Internet became common in the 1990s, an act which made sharing music electronically free–even if it’s often illegal. Personally, I feel true music fans should buy albums of musicians they like, even if they can get it free somehow. Paying money to enjoy artists’ work just seems like the morally right thing to do, plus it helps maintain a culture where there’s a glimmer of hope that new musicians can come up and survive. I’m not sure how to make a compelling argument that today’s younger generation is missing out on the thrill of buying albums, but for some reason, I feel they are. I’m just old enough to remember a time when CD warehouses existed. Places like HMV or Sam the Record Man sold music almost exclusively. Now such stores have just tiny music sections and the rest of the retail space is used for DVDs and other pop culture products. I’m dating myself here, but back in the 1990s we high school kids would flock to these stores religiously, looking for albums of the latest, greatest bands. It seemed like a great time for music. Nirvana took the world by storm and put some edge into the industry. Bands like Pearl Jam

and Stone Temple Pilots followed. R & B and hip hop were coming into their own and pop stars were still plentiful (by the 1990s Michael Jackson had turned weird, but he was still talented). In some ways, I feel the musical industry today is better. The Internet has almost killed the concept of the mega-selling band, but fans’ newfound ability to share music through social media has allowed a culture where zillions of small, more homely musicians can develop niche followings. I’ve been intrigued to watch what were once independent-label bands I’ve liked, such as The Decemberists, rise to a level of relative fame. But I also worry that kids today can’t experience the same intense love for a big band that kids of previous generations could. They won’t ever tour with the Grateful Dead, attend a record store at midnight to purchase a Beatles album, or camp outside a stadium all night to buy Metallica tickets. They can’t because, well, Jerry Garcia is dead, as is the concept of the midnight record sale or the actual ticket booth. If you really want these things today, you buy them online. I suppose missing these opportunities seems trivial, but they are experiences that linger in a person’s mind like their first love. They’re memories that stay with us forever. They define who we are. And they provide stories to share with our children about the days when we were young. Fortunately, the concept of good music will never die. As long as people are walking the Earth, great music will be made. And great bands of the future will promote their work through the media of their day. But I believe, to help preserve culture, music fans should support musicians they love by buying their albums–whether electronically through iTunes, on classic vinyl or an old-fashioned CD, something I still prefer. And there’s nothing wrong with supporting artists’ crowdfunding campaigns, too, although, to me, it seems like a challenging way to make a living. I just hope for the sake of Instant Rivalry– and the plethora of other great talents out there– that there’s a future for music, one that allows them to enjoy the perks of both the present and the past.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR many miles of her location, so how they can compare hydro consumption based on area alone is very questionable. I contacted Hydro One and they were very short on constructive answers. The only thing they could suggest was unplugging a second refrigerator and a couple of other rather benign things. I contacted Todd Smith, the MPP for her riding and nothing came of that.

We don’t need another gas station

Dear Editor, Who in their right minds would allow a gas station to be built opposite another gas station? Surely, there are other alternatives and I feel that the council is not even considering them. You might ask the people of the town what they would prefer there (plebiscite), and I think another gas station would not be their choice. I would appreciate more information from council on their decision. I think we need to know how each member of council voted and their reason for doing so. I definitely think more input from the people is needed and if the lot has to remain unused until the owners can reach a decent decision then so be it. Jack Knowles, Brighton

The appalling silence of good people

Dear Editor, Only in Ontario can the Liberals win an election and be investigated by the OPP for criminal behaviour on the same day. It would be a great laugh if not so tragic. But it all took place during the Sudbury by-election held last Thursday. About three per cent of eligible voters exercised their voting privilege. I’m sure you know the story of Glen Thibeault. For six years he represented the Sudbury federal riding under the NDP banner. He quit in December just days after he qualified for his pension and became Wynne’s chosen prince in the recent Sudbury by-election. The rumours are he’s been promised a seat in her cabinet. I listened to him being interviewed on a Sudbury radio station the day after his win. During the interview, he used the line “to be perfectly honest”… yeah right, as if. How have we in Ontario fallen into such a black hole, where elected officials can undermine the process of our political system and apparently get away with it? It isn’t just the actions of bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. Bad things happen when good people fail to act. Anybody for a rural revolution? Shelby J. Lawrence, Stirling

Setting a budget proving taxing for council members said, and their efforts to control spending through debate and resolutions is “simply business, not personal.â€? McMurray said he doesn’t believe any member of council “understands fully the financial jargon being presentedâ€? and so each must rely on personal experience of managing household finances and common sense to guide their thinking. â€œâ€Ś one is not to live beyond one’s means and don’t purchase something you can’t pay for, put a little away for a rainy day, purchase what you need not what you want, [and] save for big ticket items rather than go into debt,â€? he said, reading from a prepared statement. “Proper management of the municipal budget is probably the most important task elected members have.â€? Mayor Mark Walas said he is

on record as being “extremely disappointed� with how budgetmaking is done. With two more days of budget deliberations scheduled, for February 5 and 19, he wondered if council members were prepared to give staff some direction as to how much of an increase in municipal taxes would be acceptable, “that we might be able to expedite this somewhat. “In fairness to staff we need to give them some parameters to work within,� he said. The draft budget started out with a proposed 3.64 per cent increase in taxes for local purposes. Councillor Steve Baker said he, as a homeowner, has been subjected to tax increases every year for more than 25 years. “One of the reasons I wanted to sit on council was to put a stop to it,� he said. The first-time councillor said

he was “disappointed� that he had yet to hear from staff about any savings they had found in putting together the budget. “What I’ve heard so far I’m not pleased with,� he said. “All I’m hearing is we need more, more, more.� Councillor John Martinello pointed out he had proposed a number of cuts during discussion of the public works budget which Baker hadn’t supported. “I hear what you say but I don’t see it in your actions,� he said. “We know we can’t sustain the tax increases that are before us all the time,� observed Deputy-mayor Mary Tadman. She said council and staff must work together, “we don’t want to pit one against the other.� CAO Gayle Frost said “a target is a useful tool for staff to use� but she noted director of finance

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Advance notice of coming events wanted

Dear Editor, As a newspaper, it is your responsibility to report the news, and I feel you do a good job of reporting what has taken place. However, as a relative newcomer to Brighton, I’d like to read about upcoming events before they actually happen. I often read on Thursday about a meeting, gathering, festival, etc. that took place the previous week and I regret I didn’t know about it in advance so I could have

attended. For example, friends in Toronto and Montreal told me over Christmas that they would like to come to Brighton’s Winterfest. “We can book into B & Bs, visit and take in the various events and attractions together. Email the list of events when the local paper publishes it and we’ll make our arrangements.� The first I heard about it was when a neighbour told me how she enjoyed an event the night before.

I know I could put feelers out to neighbours and friends, but where I grew up, I got my info from the local paper. I’m sure merchants would appreciate my money and that of non-residents, but they aren’t going to get it without some advance notice in the paper. I read and appreciate the Independent, but I think you could do our wonderful community a greater service by alerting residents (especially relatively new ones) of

upcoming events. Yours truly Harry Keating, Brighton Editor’s note. We do try to keep up on events and offer free event listings on the Events Page each week for non-profit organizations. For this to be successful, we rely on the community to let us know about events so we can post them. For all your upcoming events please email Deb Johnston, <djohnston@theemc.ca>.

Linda Widdifield and heads of departments had “made great strides this yearâ€? to draft a budget that “is more palatableâ€? to council and had given members “a more realistic starting point.â€? The proposed budget started with a 3.64 per cent increase, but “right now we’re sitting at 5.12,â€? as a result of the different requests being made for additional spending. “We’re happy to do all that but there is no money tree,â€? Frost said. Councillor Brian Ostrander said Brighton would have to increase its municipal tax rate by 21 per cent just to get to the average paid by residents of the seven municipalities in Northumberland County. “We’d still be number four on the list,â€? he said. “Nobody likes tax increases ‌ but

we need to go through this process.� To set a target now would be like “trying to close the barn door after the horses have got out,� he said. Ostrander suggested “parameters� be set when staff begin putting together the 2016 budget next fall. “The reality is taxes will increase,� Councillor Laura Vink said. “It’s impossible to lower our tax rate by cutting and not losing vital services.� Baker and Martinello disagreed. “There are all kinds of things we can look at, I just want to make sure we’re looking at all that,� including long-term borrowing, Baker said. “I don’t believe we necessarily have to cut services if we reduce taxes,� Martinello said.

News - Brighton - As council slowly makes its way through the 2015 draft budget prepared by staff, questions have been raised about the whole process of setting a tax levy. Councillor Roger McMurray called the “standard operating procedure� of having members go over the budget line by line with staff “not only long and tedious but unnecessarily confrontational as managers are generally protective� of what they propose to spend. Speaking during council’s second day of formal budget talks while meeting as committee of the whole January 27, McMurray said “any attempt to reduce or rationalize a line item� is treated by managers as “a raid� on their department. But elected members “are the guardians of the public purse,� he

Brighton increases number of committees to help it govern By John Campbell

News - Brighton - Council is adding two more committees, physician recruitment and rural advisory, which will raise the total of committees and boards the municipality supports to 13. Meeting as committee of whole

February 5, council almost added a third committee, transportation safety, but decided its proposed function could be handled at the police services board level. Councillor John Martinello said council looked at the number of committees it had

four years ago to see which ones were “either unnecessary or extraneous” and suggested the time had come to go through that exercise again. Mayor Mark Walas said “that discussion should have taken place” before the new council

struck committees and appointed members. “We’re getting up in numbers, and we need to be careful,” warned CAO Gayle Frost. The impact on staff, who prepare the agendas, record the minutes, and support the committees, “is

pretty significant.” The three committees had been deemed “as very important to a great number of people,” Deputy-mayor Mary Tadman said. Martinello questioned their need, saying he hadn’t heard “a lot of public talk” about wanting a rural advisory committee but he had received numerous complaints about drainage issues, which council has yet to address fully. Councillor Brian Ostrander said he learned while campaigning north of Highway 401 last year there is “a group of people in this community who feel extremely divorced from our municipal government. This is a real opportunity to bring those people back into the fold.” Tadman said she had heard the “same sentiments” in rural areas throughout the municipality. Frost encouraged council “to look at the broad picture” and consider the cost implications of establishing a committee beyond paying members an honorarium. “There is an expectation

that you’re going to fund what it is that they want to go forward with, when we create these committees,” she said, citing physician recruitment as an example. “We’re struggling already with funding hospitals, and we consider that part of physician recruitment,” Frost said. “There’s a big expense that comes down the pipe when you set committees.” Walas said it’s “most likely” within this term of council that “at least two physicians” will retire with a combined roster of about 6,500 patients. Councillor Roger McMurray said creating a physician recruitment committee was “a nobrainer” and he supported a rural advisory committee, but he balked at setting up one for transportation safety without terms of reference. Frost won support for her suggestion of a compromise that traffic safety issues be dealt with by having the director of public works attend police services board meetings when required and bring back recommendations to council.

LCBO raises awareness of food programs

By Joyce Cassin

News - Brighton - It wasn’t so much about receiving donations for the East Northumberland Secondary School breakfast program, than it was about raising awareness, Brighton LCBO manager, Carm Herrington says. For one week each January and July, the local LCBO holds a fundraiser for local charities, and last month, the charity was for ENSS where $201.55 was raised. Herrington said many people asked what the program is all about and how they could get involved. Martha Coward, the teacher involved in ensuring the program runs smoothly, said there is excellent community support, with the churches providing a big boost to the fundraising dollars and providing some volunteers, but more are always welcome. “We are desperately in need of volunteers,� Coward said. Volunteers prep the food, set up the room in preparation of the arrival of the first students at around 6:45, and then clean up after the last students leave around 8:15. Food has been shown to be a predictor of student success, and Coward said there are upward of 70 students in the ENSS breakfast program. And it doesn’t just stop there. There is school-wide usage that provides snacks to up to 130 students.

“It’s a busy and wonderful place,� she said. “It’s really quite amazing how much support we get from the churches knowing they’re under a lot of stress too.� In the room next door, Martha Warren hosts the Threads Program once or twice a week, providing hot meals and snacks for students. “It’s the same idea as this program,� Coward said. “It

doesn’t matter what background you’re from, you walk in and you’re welcome.� The Threads Program does not receive any ministry funding. It’s donation-based only. The program began at ENSS with Jane Slater and Charlotte Majic paving the way in 1990. Donations are always welcome, and tax receipts are issued on request.

everyone.” Thorb Smith loves his time sharing jokes and the friendships developed at the group. He put together a type of survey he hopes everyone would take part in. It covers questions such as where were you born, what was your first car, and when you met your wife. “I’d like to learn more about everyone’s background,” Smith said. “Maybe I’m nosey, but I’d like to know more about people,” Finlay added. Last week, it was Knapman’s time to share some of his past. Knapman was featured in the Bell In Touch newsletter last June. He says he got the volunteer bug back in the 1970s, and began volunteering for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. Once he retired, he began volunteering in earnest, getting involved in Community Care and working as a volunteer at Trenton Memorial Hospital. Everyone seemed impressed with Knapman’s past, and the fact that he continues his volunteer work. “Some of us bring in jokes that we feel would brighten up the day,” Knapman said. “We also read articles from the

News - Brighton - If you’d like to make some new friends, then Community Care Northumberland can help you out. Each week, year round, Community Care offers casual coffee groups designed to bring senior men and women together for conversation and friendship. “The Gent’s groups for Brighton and Colborne are a combined group of fifty,” said Howie Knapman, a men’s group co-host volunteer with Community Care Northumberland. “We are all men in progressive stages of losing or having lost our spouses and were somewhat lonely for male company our own age.” Some of the men aren’t too talkative but do seem to enjoy the jokes shared by members of the group. When asked why they joined the group, there are different responses. One gentleman said he comes out to the social club because his wife has Alzheimer’s and he needs to get away for an hour or so, while others have lost their spouses and are lonely, and some have wives in a nursing home. “It’s part of the grieving process … it’s good to get out and meet people,” Len Finlay said. Knapman said he used to drive, then when he was forced to surrender his licence about nine years ago, it was suggested he co-host the social club. “I’ve never looked back,” Knapman said. And he was part of starting a second group in Colborne about five years ago. “I enjoy both clubs, but they’re very different,” Finlay said. Hiddo Niezen has a wife in a local nursing home and says he visits her often, but still likes to get out and enjoy the company of this group. “It’s sort of like getting to know your neighbours,” Niezen said. “This group is set up for people who lost spouses or have very sick spouses, whereas Colborne is for

“Should I buy my house through the listing agent?�

A common misconception among Buyers is that they have an advantage when buying a house through the listing agent. Below are some of the advantages of working with a Buyer’s agent: s Impartiality: a Buyer’s agent works solely for the Buyer and does not represent the interests of the Seller, putting him/her in a more unbiased position to help you find the most suitable houses and highlight the pros and cons of each; s Negotiating power: a listing agent who is representing both Seller and Buyer walks a fine line especially when negotiating the price and particularly if the listing price of the house is higher than its market value (as a result of poor advice or simply because the homeowner wants to list at a higher price). A Buyer’s agent is completely unbiased and will be more able to help you negotiate the best price, terms and conditions; s Trust: this is one of the main features of working with any agent. A Buyer’s agent who is fully committed and dedicated to helping you find the right home will earn your trust and work in your best interests to find you the right home. Remember, you don’t have to buy a house with the agent who is listing the house you want. If you do, make sure that he/she is equally working in your best interest. For help in buying your next home, please give me a call!

Recording of meeting might have included more than budget talks News - Brighton - There’s a good reason why an audio of last week’s budget meeting hadn’t been put online by Monday. It could include private conversations council members held during a recess. Councillor Steven Baker raised the issue February 5 after council returned from lunch break to resume its committee of the whole meeting to review the 2015 draft budget. He asked CAO Gayle Frost about the device on the corner of her desk that’s used to record what is said by people using the microphones at meetings. The recordings are then uploaded to the municipal website. “It was on through part of the lunch hour because I forgot to shut it off,� Frost told Baker. “I did shut it off partway through. I’m not sure if it records without the microphone or not.�

She said “the only thing that would be uploaded to the website would be to the point of recess and from the point of reconvening.â€? Baker’s concern was that the device might have inadvertently captured what was said in private in council chambers. “When we recess and I decide to have a private conversation with a member of this council ‌ I should be reassured that I’m not being recorded during the recess.â€? Frost replied “there’s never been an intention to record private conversations.â€? Baker asked that Mayor Mark Walas and Deputy-mayor Mary Tadman listen to the recording of the proceedings to ensure that anything said during recess be deleted before an audio of the meeting is posted online. “Whatever you want,â€? Frost responded. “I hope the ombudsman is okay with it.â€?

ing recordings last year, it was limited to council meetings, and a recess “is not a council meeting,â€? he said. Walas said he didn’t know at this point if, in the opinion of the ombudsman, “it constitutes any wrongdoing by simply removing information that has been recorded. “If there is anything on there that in our judgment would be of a concern to any individuals who may have been having a conversation in this room ‌ our next call would be to the ombudsman,â€? to ask if “we

Baker reiterated his concern: “I’m saying if I’m in this room and we have recessed I’m assuming all recording devices are turned off. And if that cannot be assured, then I just want that clarified. Then I’ll leave the building.� Frost said “there’s absolutely no way that staff can assure that there weren’t recording devices in this room unless we have somebody go through and check the entire room.� Walas said he would be willing “to listen to the information that is there, and based on what if anything that may be there [he and Tadman] would then come back to council. “If there is anything of concern I think we need to address it at that time.� Councillor John Martinello questioned why the mayor and deputy-mayor should decide what is brought back to council. When council authorized mak-

News - Brighton - Two streets in urgent need of sidewalks will get them, at a cost of $100,000 at each location. Meeting as committee of the whole to continue its review of the draft 2015 budget, council decided last week to set aside money for sidewalks on Elizabeth Street, in front of Brighton Public School, and Harbour Street to address concerns over pedestrian safety. “There is quite a bit of pedestrian traffic on Harbour Street,â€? director of public works and development Andrew Drzewiecki told council. “There are joggers there and they don’t have much room on the shoulders.â€? In council’s first look at the public works budget January 27, Councillor John Martinello said the lack of a sidewalk on Harbour Street “has become a safety issue. “If we’re looking to improve the livability of this place for the citizens ‌ that would be a very

high priority project in my book.� “The area is very heavily used and heavily congested at a lot of different points,� Deputy-mayor Mary Tadman said at the time. “A lot of people are concerned for their own safety and the safety of their children.� Drzewiecki originally earmarked $75,000 for sidewalk improvements in general but decided to put all the money into the Harbour Street project, which required he find an additional $25,000 to carry out the work. He did by reducing the amount he estimated his department would spend on fuel this year. He told council February 5 the 560-metre sidewalk to be built on Harbour between County Road 64 and Cedar Street would be just four feet wide, to fit on the land available. At the suggestion of Mayor Mark Walas, the municipality will take money from its community safety reserve for a new sidewalk

on the north side of Elizabeth Street. The reserve was originally set up to have money on hand to smooth out increases in policing costs, but with the new billing model developed by the OPP, those costs will go down. “That’s a proper use of that fund,� CAO Gayle Frost said of the mayor’s proposal. Council also supported going ahead with giving Bay Street a new overlay, along with ditching and culverts, and upgrading water services at a cost of $215,950. It freed up money for the project by deferring for one year $156,000 that had been initially pencilled in for reconstruction of Dundas Street. The improvements will be good for about ten years. The alternative solution, involving full excavation, pavement, and paved shoulders in addition to new culverts and drainage, and upgraded water services, would have lasted 20 to 25 years, Drzewiecki said, but cost $396,815.

deleted it you removed your opportunity to defend yourself that that didn’t happen.� Council also agreed to hold off posting the audio until the ombudsman responds. The municipality’s practice has been to put the recording on its website within two to three days of a meeting. Frost estimated afterwards that the device might have recorded about 20 minutes after the meeting broke for lunch. “I just happened to come in and noticed it was on,� she said.

Council members agreed to the suggestion, which Frost supported. The CAO said she would give the recording to the deputy-clerk to keep it locked in her office. She said she was trying to protect council members from “an accusation that four of you were in the room and advanced business. If you

WPCP operations to be managed by outside party

LIVE THE GOOD LIFE NOW!

NOW UNDER CONSTRUCTION

By Joyce Cassin

News - Brighton - There’s going to be a new boss in the Environmental Services department in Brighton. Council voted five to two Monday night in favour of sending out a Request For Proposals to hire an outside party to manage the wastewater pollution control plant (WPCP), at an estimated cost of $100,000. Councillor Brian Ostrander said staff are fully qualified and should move forward to investigate the issues surrounding the plant and that he sees no need to hire someone else. He added there are no guarantees that the recent RV Anderson report recommendation, at a cost of $2.5 million, wouldn’t be recommended by the proponent. Councillor Laura Vink was also opposed to hiring an external professional. The Anderson report recommended an action plan to resolve some of the ammonia and other exceedances at the WPCP, but it didn’t provide a solution to the failure of the biodomes last year. Last spring, the bacteria in the biodomes died because of some unknown toxic substance enter-

ing the sewage system. Environmental Services manager Catherine Chisholm said that in order to solve that issue, council had to pass a bylaw allowing staff to test sewer lines at source from large effluent wastewater users. The bylaw came on the floor Monday night and, after lengthy discussion, it was amended to exclude exceptions to dumping certain chemicals, such as pathological waste and PCBs. Councillor Roger McMurray asked for the amendments, and also included naming Presqu’ile Provincial Park as one of the sites to be tested for the toxic substance. Councillor Steve Baker recommended removing the named sources and generalizing them instead. The bylaw passed unanimously, so staff can move forward on identifying the substance effective immediately. The Request For Proposals for the WPCP go out this week with a deadline of March 10. It was proposed that Councillor John Martinello be the point of contact for questions from interested parties requiring more information, but he said he

didn’t feeling comfortable telling the consultant what to do without the backing of council. It was suggested that a special council meeting be called if and when questions arose, a subcommittee of council be formed to deal with questions, or gaining consensus of council over the phone. Martinello said he didn’t know how a sub-committee technically works, “but it spreads the wealth and the liability.” The final decision was that any questions from interested parties would be directed to CAO Gayle Frost, with council having final approval over the responses. The hiring of an outside professional and passing of the bylaw indicates due diligence on the behalf of the municipality in its court proceedings with the Ministry of the Environment over the exceedances. The court date is set for Thursday, February 12, but Frost told council that staff have a meeting that afternoon with the MoE to discuss the matter. “We’re asking for a layover until this discussion takes place,” Frost said.

Council doesn’t want to get burned by changes to cost recovery bylaw By John Campbell

News - Cramahe Township Council has asked that more work be done on a proposed bylaw change that would charge property owners a fee for receiving fire protection services. Fire chief Brandon Northrup said in a report to council that the costs would be covered by the property owner’s insurance company but that didn’t sit well with some council members. Deputy-mayor Sandra Arthur said residents have told her they already pay for fire protection through their taxes. She also noted that the municipality, in the amended bylaw, would not try

to collect any fire response fees from home owners or tenants who haven’t property insurance or whose policy doesn’t include payment for emergency services provided by the fire department. “It’s almost like you’re penalizing me because I have that within my policies,” she said. “Next year when I go to do my renewal, I don’t care who tells me what, my insurance is going to go up because that claim was put against my policy.” Northrup said “one of the biggest reasons” he had for wanting the bylaw updated was as a result of a large grass fire last year which he blamed on a hydro line that had

“will create a revenue stream as well as cost recovery” for fire department expenses “that Cramahe Township currently is not recouping to its full potential” through existing practice. He noted that four other municipalities in Northumberland County “have some type of billing in place” for fire protection services and another “is exploring this possibility in 2015.” Councillor Ed Van Egmond was also upset with the fire cost recovery bylaw being amended to formally allow for the collection of fees for fire services. “Our people are already paying taxes for fire service, I don’t agree that we should be dinging them again,” he said. The amount paid by the insurance company would also reduce the amount he would receive to build a new house or barn that had burned down, he added. He seconded Arthur’s motion that the matter be deferred until council’s February 17 meeting, which council passed. “We need to get into this a little bit John Martinello about flooding in more because I don’t want it to look like ditches “south of the tracks in the we’re going after a [money] grab when lowlands of Brighton” needing attention as well, Drzewiecki replied he’s “very aware” of the issues there and in the industrial park.

The fee is $410 an hour for each department vehicle attending a scene in response to an incident, whether it’s “failure to properly maintain, accidental, arson, or malicious act.” In his report, Northrup said the proposed additions to the bylaw

Repairs marked for roads that haven’t been touched in years By John Campbell

News - Brighton - The director of public works and development has proposed setting up a $100,000 annual Roadside Maintenance Program to fix up areas “that haven’t been touched in 25 or even 30 years.” Andrew Drzewiecki told council, meeting as committee of the whole recently, that previous budgeted amounts for roadside

maintenance “allowed for only Band-Aid solutions.” With the new program of repairs and upgrades involving drainage, guide rails, traffic signs, culverts and brushing, to be undertaken this year and the following two years,” we would be able to catch up with overall maintenance of roadsides in many rural areas,” he said. When pressed by Councillor

Our TMH citizens committee gathers strength

“We are a group of concerned News - Quinte West - The newly formed citizens advocating for the preservation, committee to save Trenton Memorial protection and enhancement of services Hospital has a new name and a mission at TMH,” reads the mission statement. statement. About 23 people showed up at city By Kate Everson

hall on Monday, February 9, for the third meeting. It is chaired by Mike Cowan with co-chairs Betty Clost and Frank Barry. Because of the increased numbers, the meeting was moved from the caucus room to the council chambers. Several suggestions for the name of the committee came from the people, but the favourite was simply Our TMH. Remco de Gooyer volunteered to set up a group on Facebook for the group’s communication with the public. Mike Cowan said they also need committees for strategy and research. He said the 2008 amalgamation with Quinte Health Care requires more investigation and possibly access to the Freedom of Information Act. “We want to know everything that took place,” he said. “Were there any faults?

Maybe the board dropped the ball.” Malcolm Rawlings volunteered to work on research. “It is very important to find out how we got to this point,” he said. “It could be very buried. We need to come up with some answers.” Garry Quinn volunteered to help on that committee. Ken Rose was also volunteered by chair Mike Cowan to participate. Rose reluctantly agreed, adding, “I forgot more than I knew.” Wendy Warner, executive director of TMH Foundation, said her staff can do presentations to the group but cannot be involved since it could be a conflict of interest. Mayor Jim Harrison said he met with QHC’s Chief of Staff Dr. Dick Zoutman and was reassured that they are aware of the needs at the family medical centre.

Two doctors are interested in working either at the clinic or at TMH emergency department. “They are very aware and very supportive,” he said. “That’s a bonus.” Co-chair Betty Clost noted that a lot of people are starting to coming around and the committee needs to put more attention on the issue. Cowan added, “The hardest part is keeping up the momentum. Next meeting everybody bring two or three friends.” Co-chair Frank Barry acknowledged the group is growing. “Quinte Health Care is very secretive,” he said. “We need to stand up and be counted, and get a bus to Toronto if we have to.” The next meeting is Thursday, February 19, at 1 p.m. in the council chambers.

Trent Port Marina project includes two soccer pitches By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - As work continues on the marina, city staff are beginning to look at the two soccer pitches nearby. “The city had an existing ten-year lease agreement with Trenton Cold Storage [TCS] for the construction and use of two soccer fields [known as the City Fields] directly beside city hall,” reports Chris Angelo, director of Public Works and Environmental Services. That lease agreement expires at the end of 2015. Staff had included $340,000 in this year’s capital budget for the rebuilding of these two soccer fields as both were impacted from the construction of the marina. “In all of staff’s discussions with TCS, it was noted that a lease agreement

could be extended if council approved the construction of the two soccer fields,” Angelo said. “It was staff’s belief and that of TCS that the two soccer fields would be rebuilt as part of the Trent Port Marina project.” The total completed project is estimated at $340,000. This includes earthwork ($60,000), irrigation ($50,000) and grass playing surface ($60,000) for one field (times two.) Quinte West Soccer Association is facing challenges if the soccer fields are lost, Angelo adds. “With the loss of two full-sized fields at city hall, there may be negative impact forcing our local teams to play out of town and will result in loss of economic gains for the city,” he said. “Two full-sized fields had planned to

be developed over the next five years to meet the needs of the organization.” Angelo said the soccer association is already renting fields regularly from Bayside Secondary School, MaryAnne Sills park in Belleville, St. Paul Secondary and Trenton High School. They have been hosting a popular soccer tournament every year called the Cameron Memorial with over 130 teams. “In order to accommodate the demand, these fields are essential,” he said. In a special council meeting on February 9, it was decided to hold off on the soccer pitches until 2016 and just put $40,000 into the budget this year for landscape. “There’s no sense in putting it in the budget until 2016,” said Doug Whitney.

“The trucks would just go over the field.” Rob MacIntosh was worried about the lease agreement on the land. “I can’t agree with something like this,” he said. “The lease agreement should be done beforehand.” CAO Charlie Murphy said the city would not spend the money until the lease agreement was in place. Fred Kuypers said the city needs to speak to Eben James Junior about the lease first. Al DeWitt said they need to know how many soccer fields the city needs. He wondered if there was room in Centennial Park. “It would save money on leased land,” he pointed out. Duncan Armstrong agreed they should defer the soccer fields until next year.

Karen Sharpe suggested they make a site plan for Centennial Park to see if there is room for all the activities. Doug Whitney said it would be a shame to have the waterfront trail torn up. “We need to get people involved in where to put it,” Whitney said. Mayor Jim Harrison said, “It makes sense.”

Repairs for roads

Continued from page 19

A request for proposals would be made to have the work done by a contractor because public works doesn’t have specialized equipment for ditching and it’s “understaffed,” he said. A “sequence of work” hasn’t been established yet but “critical areas would be addressed first and then we would be dealing with less burning issues,” Drzewiecki said. Martinello wanted to defer a decision on the program until council was presented with a plan of action “to make sure it’s directed in the right places … To go on hope is a waste of taxpayers’ money.” But his motion failed to win the support of a majority of council. “If we could, over this term of council, hopefully, correct a lot of deficiencies that happened over the past 25 or 30 years, that would be a really great move,” Mayor Mark Walas said. With the Roadside Maintenance Program the public works’ operating budget is set to go up by 9.4 per cent, or $212,180, to $2.6 million.

Heart health should be a concern for people of all ages, but especially so for men and women over 50. That’s because, according to the American Heart Association, even men and women who are free of cardiovascular disease at age 50 are at a significant lifetime risk of developing the disease. But heart disease does not have to be an accepted byproduct of aging. For example, a 2014 study published in the AHA journal Circulation found that maintaining or increasing physical activity after age 65 can improve the heart’s well-being and lower risk of heart attack. In addition to increasing physical activity as they age, older men and women who understand heart disease and learn to recognize its symptoms have a greater chance of minimizing its affects and lowering their risk of having a heart attack. What are the symptoms of heart disease? Heart disease is a blanket term used to describe a host of conditions, so symptoms vary depending on each individual condition. The following are some of the more widely known conditions and their symptoms: s (YPERTENSION !LSO KNOWN AS HIGH BLOOD pressure, hypertension is a largely symptomless form of heart disease.

DocFest film to highlight Crawford family’s legacy in Belleville

By Stephen Petrick

Entertainment - Belleville - Brantford, Ontario, has the Gretzkys. Viking, Alberta, has the Sutters. But perhaps an even more prolific Canadian hockey family belongs to Belleville; the Crawfords. A local videographer has set out to tell the story of one of the city’s most recognizable families and its achievements in both sports and life. The documentary by Aaron Bell is called Crawford: Family of Champions. It’s expected to play at the Belleville Downtown DocFest on the weekend of February 27 to March 1. The documentary tells the story of

the family through the words of the nine children who were raised by Floyd and Pauline Crawford. Floyd Crawford is one of Belleville’s most legendary hockey heroes. He was part of the Belleville McFarlands team that won gold while representing Canada at the World Hockey Championships in 1959. Three of their kids, Bobby, Marc and Lou, went on to play in the National Hockey League. But the other six kids, Susan, Danielle, Eric, Todd, Peter and Michael, also all grew to be successful adults. All together, the family has left an

Copper, aluminum stolen from Colborne business News - Brighton - Northumberland OPP say a Colborne business on Purdy Road reported February 4 someone cut through a chain-link fence sometime overnight and made off with an amount of copper and aluminum still to be determined. An officer on patrol on County Road 30 February 5 stopped a Pontiac G6 near Telephone Road for having no front plate. The driver, a 33-year-old Brighton woman, was found to be on a probation order not to drive. Her car was impounded for seven days and she was charged with driving while her licence is under suspension, driving without

insurance, breach of a probation order, and three other other Highway Traffic Act offences. Officers attended a Brighton home February 6 around 6 a.m. in response to a family having problems with a daughter who has suffered a brain injury. The officers assisted by offering advice. After a week in which police investigated 40 motor vehicle collisions, the OPP issued a reminder to motorists Monday to adjust their driving and proceed with caution on roads that become slippery as a result of the weather.

reasons, Bell said. First of all, the nine children were born with great genetics, as both Floyd and Pauline were athletes. But because the family was so large, they had to be quite competitive with each other. The parents also instilled in their children a belief in the importance of hard work. Bell hopes viewers of the documentary will learn what he learned first-hand; that the Crawfords are such likable people, Belleville residents should be grateful to have them as unofficial ambassadors of the city and its great hockey history. “These are people you want to see succeed,” he said. Shooting the documentary was also a great experience for Bell personally, as it’s allowed him to

incredible stamp on the hockey world and the Belleville community, Bell argues. “The Crawford name is, as far as I can tell, on more hockey championship trophies than any other name,” Bell said. “They are one of the great stories of our community and our country.” While Floyd is an Allan Cup and World champion, Marc Crawford is arguably the most famous of the Crawford clan. After a modest NHL career as a player, he became a coach and led the Colorado Avalanche to a Stanley Cup win in 1996. But Bobby had a decent playing career with the Hartford Whalers and Lou, after a short NHL career, also became a coach and later stood behind the bench for the Belleville Bulls. While the Crawford name can be found on almost any recognizable hockey trophy, such as the Calder Cup or Memorial Cup, the family members remained grounded, Bell said. “I don’t want to say they’re typical Belleville people–because they’re anything but typical–but they’re very inviting people,” Bell said. “It’s cliché to say this, but they remember their roots.” Bell travelled to Zurich, Switzerland, to visit Marc Crawford for the film. There, he spent three days with the famous coach, who’s now in charge of the ZSC Lions. Bell said he was amazed at how welcoming Marc was. He even picked Bell up at the airport. This, Bell says, is an example of how down-toearth and friendly the family is. The documentary attempts to explain why this family was so successful in sports. And it boils down to a number of

take on a new type of medium. Bell, the former communications co-ordinator for the City of Belleville, owns his own communications business, running websites for clients. He also photographs hockey regularly for the Ontario Hockey League. Last year, while working for the city, he made a short documentary about Belleville City Hall for the DocFest. He was asked by an organizer if he had something in the works for this year, so he felt compelled to come up with a new story. His connection with the local hockey scene drew him to the Crawford family’s story. “It’s a great story about our community and it needs to be told,” he

Al Qaeda prisoner came close to killing Campbellford couple ten years ago

By John Campbell

News - Campbellford - The drama recently played out in the Middle East, with the Islamic State demanding the release of an Al Qaeda prisoner on death row in exchange for not killing a captured Jordanian air pilot, has revived horrific memories for a Campbellford couple. Jim and Sue Nixon were at the hotel in Amman in November 2005 when the female militant, Sajida al-Rishawi, took part in a suicide mission with her husband that killed 27 guests in a local wedding party. He detonated his explosive vest, but she failed despite repeated attempts–and the Nixons and other members of their church are alive today as a result. “We wouldn’t be here,” if she had succeeded, said Jim Nixon, who was willing to talk about the tragic events of that day ten years ago, when he and his wife, along with others on a nine-day Biblical tour of Israel and Jordan, were having supper the night before they were to return home to Shelburne. “It would have killed everyone” in the lounge where they were seated, said the 71-year-old retiree, who moved to Campbellford with his wife three years ago. Nixon had left his group to take a vase he had purchased to the couple’s 11th floor hotel room for safekeeping. He had just entered the room when suddenly there was “a horrendous explosion,” he said, and “the whole building shook.” Fearing the worst, he quickly returned to the ground floor and when the elevator door opened, he saw “all

kinds of horrible things,” with bodies everywhere and people “running around screaming”–but no sign of his wife. “She didn’t know where I was and I didn’t know where she was.” He returned to the hotel room hoping to find her there but it was empty. “Now my heart is coming right out of my chest, so down I go again,” Nixon said. He thought he saw her across the room, but when he raced over there, he discovered it was another woman, her “eyes wide open” and “the top of her head was gone.” In a panic he continued his search when a member of the tour group came running into the room to tell Nixon his wife was safe outside and to leave the building immediately, because “there might be another bomb.” While out on the street, they heard another explosion in the distance; it was at another U.S.-based hotel, one of three that suicide bombers attacked that day, killing at least 57 people. The tour group flew out of Jordan the next day after being escorted to the airport by police. Two weeks later, Nixon was preparing to sing at a church in Bramalea as a member of a group, and “every person that came in, I’m watching them to see if they had a suitcase.” The tragedy of a decade ago again came to mind last week for Nixon when it was reported Islamic State militants threatened to kill a Jordanian pilot it had captured in December if Rishawi wasn’t Campbellford retiree Jim Nixon and his wife Sue narrowly escaped being killed in a terrorist attack on an Amman hotel in Jordan ten years ago that killed released within 24 hours. 27 people attending a local wedding. Memories of that horrific experience have returned with recent news reports about one of the Islamic militants Please see “Campbellford” page B3 who took part in the suicide mission but failed to detonate her explosives.

By Bill Freeman

Country Music Search, a country music talent showdown being presented by the Ranch Resort in Bethany and the Havelock Country Jamboree. The contest takes over from the Havelock Country Music

Talent Showdown which was held in the village every summer and like its predecessor the Next Country Music Star winner will get a showcase gig on the stage during the 26th annual Havelock Country Jamboree.

The contest will run over a series of Saturday evenings kicking off February 21 and running until the end of March with the ďŹ nals scheduled through April. Each night’s winner will advance to the semi-ďŹ nal round; three wild card choices will also be selected from the ďŹ rst round by the judges and audience to move on to the semi-ďŹ nals. The resort is thrilled to provide the showcase for undiscovered talent, says Jane Doidge. “The partnership was really a blessing of good timing,â€? Doidge says. “The Ranch Resort was interested in developing a winter entertainment series that could promote new talent and give people a chance to enjoy and evening of good music, good food and good times. We had offered a similar talent search three years ago in a series of summer concerts and felt this could be successfully done again during our colder winter season.â€? The resort’s owner, Nick Angelo, approached the Jamboree this past fall with the idea of a winter series focusing on emerging country music talent and the Jamboree agreed to offer the winner of The Next Country Music Star talent show a spot in the 2015 lineup. There will be ďŹ ve performances each Saturday night during the preliminary round starting February 21 and Doidge says audience input will be an “important factorâ€? in the judging decision.

four performers will appear each night with the two winners advancing to the ďŹ nal. The contestants will have to perform at least two original pieces in their 30-minute sets.

CCN encourages the public to open their hearts News - Northumberland - In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, Community Care Northumberland (CCN) hopes the public will open their hearts to local seniors or adults with disabilities by volunteering some time in their Friendly Visiting program. “Friendly Visiting volunteers offer companionship and conversation to people who live alone,� said Trish Baird, executive director of CCN. “Volunteers often take our clients out for walks in nice weather, read, play cards, board games or other social activities that are of interest to both them and the client.� One of the CCN clients spoke about the program. “Having a friendly visitor allows me to sometimes get out into the community as I need an arm because I am unsteady on my feet. My friendly visitor and I have taken the town transit and gone to the mall; walked along the boardwalk at the beach and sometimes we just stay at my home and have a cup of tea and a chat.� The friendly visiting program works

through matches. The CCN program staff match volunteers with clients based on their common interests. The volunteer then arranges the visits with their matched client. The commitment is only a few hours a week and at their mutual convenience and location. Visits can occur in the client’s home or for example, a trip to a local coffee shop. Clients are individuals in the community who could beneďŹ t from one-on-one company and companionship. If you have patience, with a caring and pleasant personality, with just a few hours to spare, you can make a difference in someone’s life in your community. For more information about this volunteer opportunity, please contact your local Community Care Northumberland ofďŹ ce: Brighton 613-475-4190; Campbellford - 705653-1411; Cobourg - 905-372-7356; Colborne - 905 - 355-2989; Hastings - 705-696-3891; Port Hope - 905-8859860.

Campbellford Westben hosts launch party for the 2015 season couple reliving a horrible experience By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - New traditions was the theme of the 2015 season launch party hosted by Westben Arts Festival Theatre last Sunday. A crowd of supporters joined Westben co-founders Brian Finley and Donna Bennett along with artists and entertainers at the Clock Tower Cultural Centre to learn more about what will be happening in this their 16th anniversary season. “We are celebrating new traditions and there are three principal areas I want to take you through today sharing details of our performances at the barn, our summer music festival ‌ and we also have a lot of new traditions developing here at the clock tower and new programming and opportunities to get the community involved,â€? said Finley, later talking about a new Jazz Fringe Festival as part of this year’s lineup. “This new venue at the clock tower provides year-round opportunities for Westben and other arts groups in the area,â€? Finley explained.

The Islamic extremists carried out their threats to execute two Japanese citizens it held hostage, in retribution for Japan joining other nations in their ďŹ ght against the Islamic State. Seeing his would-be killer again in the news “brings back all the horriblenessâ€? for Nixon. His wife prefers not to talk about it, “she doesn’t want to go over it again.â€? Nixon said Rishawi “was supposed to be hung ten years ago.â€? He supports the stance taken by governments who refuse to negotiate with terrorists who demand prisoner exchanges or make ransom demands. “You don’t negotiate because once you do [they’re] going to keep doing that same thing,â€? he said. Governments have ‘to stick’ to their principles–‘don’t make deals.’â€? Videos posted online appear to show the beheadings of the two Japanese hostages. Al-Rishawi has since been executed as has the Jordanian pilot.

Among the entertainers for the afternoon of fun, food and music was Campbellford’s legendary musician Ken Tizzard, singer/ songwriter and Westben regular who will be opening Westben’s jazz and world music series on June 19 with songs from his latest album No Dark No Light. Esmerelda Wang-Acker, a Grade 5 student at Hillcrest School, who is in the Westben Instrumental Foundations program and Westben choirs, and is a talented piano player, performed for the crowd at the launch party. Campbellford songstress Chelsey Bennett, who will be performing during the Westben Fringe - Jazz Jam on August 1, at the Clock Tower Cultural Centre, also gave the launch party crowd a sample of her talents. As part of the theme of new traditions Westben will host a Chat & View Series–movies to be shown on Thursdays at the Aron Theatre.

One of the photos Sue Nixon took of a Jordanian wedding party included a partial view of the militant Islamic couple who entered the hotel on a suicide mission. The man in the background wearing a leather jacket detonated his explosive vest but his wife, Sajida al-Rishawi, stationed at the opposite end of the room, was unable to detonate hers and has been in prison for the past decade.

For example, “Tick Talks at the Clockâ€? for 2015 debuts with Happy Birthday Chopin on Sunday, March 1, at 2 p.m. at which Finley will perform some of Chopin’s most celebrated piano works and Barb Hobart will talk about the music and life of Chopin and in celebration of this composers’ birthday, there will be cake and refreshments. Finley also talked about “Fiddler on the Roofâ€? describing it as “A great community production coming up in June.â€? It is the season opener at The Barn from June 6 to 14. The show’s director Edward Franko drove from Toronto, the day of the launch party, to be part of the celebration. Finley provided highlights of what this season will offer such as a chance to join luthier and ďŹ ddler Luke Mercier from Spring Brook for a ďŹ ddle making workshop and package on June 13 at the Clock Tower Cultural Centre. Canadian Tenor Adam Fisher who will be performing in the production Kings on Broadway, also drove from Toronto to participate in the launch party.

Commodores launch “Navy Blues” student jazz band News - Seventeen Quinte-area student musicians, representing schools across the region, are getting an extra-curricular fix of jazz orchestra performance as a result of a new project organized by the Commodores’ Orchestra, the longrunning Belleville-based big swing band. Musicians in the newlyformed Quinte Youth Jazz Ensemble, or “Navy Blues,” come from Grades 6 to 12, ranging in age from 11 to 17. They’ve been rehearsing traditional jazz like Benny Goodman’s Sing Sing Sing, all the way to Tower of Power’s What is Hip, and lots in between twice a month since September. The plan is to perform in the Quinte Rotary Music Festival, and in the Commodores’ May 14 concert to raise money for their Bruce Parsons Scholarship Fund. The QYJC is the brainchild of Commodores’ members Scott Mills and Blair Yarranton, instrumental music heads at Albert College and Centen-

nial Secondary School respectively. Mills says there’s nothing else like it. “It’s a chance to put together some of the top musicians from many different schools to work together in a collegial atmosphere to create great music. They get to perform challenging music and develop their musical skills.” Members of the Commodores of-

ten stop by at rehearsals to lend a hand. Mills says their experience can really help band members develop their skill level more quickly. “What we’d really like is for this relationship to help develop a new crop of musicians to keep jazz and swing alive in the Quinte area. A lot of great musicians have built a pretty solid tradition around here.”

Big and Rich, Corb Lund will light up Jamboree stage

Rising Canadian singer-songwriter Jack Connolly will perform at the 26th annual Havelock Country Jamboree. Tanya Tucker is returning to perform at the 26th annual Havelock Country Jamboree. Hugely entertaining Big & Rich featuring MuzikMafia pal Cowboy Troy have signed on to be part of the 26th annual Havelock Country Jamboree.

at the Empire Theatre. The DocFest Organizing Committee is thrilled that Kauflin is adding Belleville to his roster which includes performances at Jazz a Vienne, Montreaux Jazz Festival and honours such as VEER Magazine’s Jazz Artist of the Year. A couple of highlights from the inspiring documentaries that will be screened at the Belleville Public Library are: Finding Vivian Maier, a 2015 Academy Award Nominee, presents an intriguing story tracing the life of the late Vivian Maier, a career nanny whose previously undiscovered cache of 100,000 photographs has earned her a posthumous reputation as one of America’s most accomplished and insightful photographers. Crawford: Family of Champions, directed by local filmmaker Aaron Bell, tells the story of Floyd Crawford who moved to Belleville in the 1950s and started a tradition of success that helped shape the future of his new community. Floyd became the captain of the World Hockey Champion Belleville McFarlands. Festival Passes for the Opening Gala are available through the Empire Theatre box office, at <theempiretheatre. com/box-office/> or by phone at 613969-0099. Tickets are also available at a number of outlets in Belleville including: Quinte Arts Council - 36 Bridge Street East, Sweet Escape Dessert and Coffee Lounge - 194 Front Street, Barratt’s Office Pro - 314 Front Street (cheque or cash only). Festival Passes at The Empire are $45 plus taxes and service fees. Passes include the Opening Gala and admission to all films.

Big Kenny and John Rich are more than just the creators of the 2004 party anthem Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy), although they are certainly that but they bring with them plenty of songwriting cred with their work with performers like Martina McBride, Gretchen Wilson, Jason Aldean, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw along with their own five-album catalogue and explosive concert sound that will have the Jamboree grounds jumping.

The duo and Cowboy Troy will hit the stage August 15 along with Canadian stars Gord Bamford and Corb Lund; the multiaward winning Lund, seven times roots artist or group of the year at the CCMAs, recently signed on for a return to the Jamboree and will be part of a Saturday program that includes The Good Brothers and American rock legend John Cafferty and The Beaver Brown Band.

Events - The Belleville Public Library is proud once again to be a primary DocFest partner and one of four screening locations for Belleville Downtown DocFest’s fourth annual International Documentary Film Festival. DocFest runs from Friday, February 27, to Sunday, March 1. Screenings will be at the Empire Theatre, the CORE Centre, Pinnacle Playhouse and at the library. The festival will feature over 50 outstanding films celebrating life and human dignity around the world and right here at home, including 15 locally produced documentaries. The tremendously popular DocFest Opening Gala at The Empire Theatre is on Friday, February 27, at 7 p.m. and launches with the documentary, Keep On Keepin’ On. The film recently won the Cinema Eye Honors Audience Choice Award. Shot over the course of five years by filmmaker Alan Hicks, the film depicts the remarkable story of now 94-year-old jazz legend Clark Terry and pianist Justin Kauflin. Terry was a mentor to Miles Davis and played in both Count Basie’s and Duke Ellington’s bands. Keep On Keepin’ On highlights Terry’s friendship with the preternaturally gifted Justin Kauflin, a blind, 28-year-old piano prodigy. Quincy Jones, who also counts Clark Terry as his mentor, came on board as producer of the film after discovering Kauflin’s talent by chance during a visit at Terry’s home. Jones’ career spans six decades in the entertainment industry and he holds a record 79 Grammy Award nominations. Kauflin is taking the jazz world by storm and his first performance on Canadian soil will follow the Gala screening of this breakout documentary

Multi-award winning Canadian performer Corb Lund will be part of the 26th annual Havelock Country Jamboree.

TRAVEL

Peru’s awesome floating reed islands on Lake Titicaca ongoing thing, and eventually the islands are simply replaced by the building of a new reed island. I met Walter, the leader of one of the smaller islands, home to five families, and he explained the island-building process very well, using a model for demonstration purposes. I learned that such an island takes about a year to build, but this timeline can certainly vary because of the size of the island being created (depending on the number of people living there). The islands are anchored by ropes attached to stakes that are driven into the bottom of the shallow bay, for these reed islands are protected within the Bay of Puno. I also learned that such an island may last about 30 years, if properly maintained. As I walked around one of these fascinating reed islands, I could feel my feet sinking, at times, for the reeds are very soft and “squishy.” It’s a rather bizarre experience, and I wondered if I might just simply disappear right into the reeds and end up in the lake. This sensation certainly helped me to understand the importance of regularly adding new reed layers. These island dwellers live in houses built of reeds, too, and I was able to check out the interiors of some of these for myself. Cooking takes place outside, on a layer of stones, to

even took a turn at paddling. Another of my favourite experiences while visiting these floating reed islands was simply watching the local school children waiting for their “school bus.” It’s, of course, actually a boat, and it was very interesting to simply witness the youngsters boarding the boat for a ride

How a trip to the Dentist could mean a better night’s sleep: Part One protect the reeds. While visiting another one of these islands, I found a store (made of reeds), where some supplies could be purchased, and I also found some small dwellings that were being used for overnight accommodations for tourists at a cost of less than $10. However, tourists won’t find a lot of “modern conveniences” in these abodes, and they’ll probably have to go by boat to another nearby island to find a tiny “outhouse island” where the ground root absorbs the waste. Also, there’s the cold, the wind, and the sun to deal with, and that’s why most locals still dress in traditional clothing, in layers. Many of the women still dress in full skirts, woolly tops, and wear a distinctive derby-style hat, after all, the sun can burn fiercely at this altitude, and it can get rather chilly at night. Most of the women are expert knit-

ters, and the majority of the men are both fishermen and weavers. They sell their crafts/creations to the visiting tourists now (via bartering), and they sell their fish on the mainland. The increasing tourism has certainly benefited the Uros in a financial way, but it has also made it more difficult to maintain their traditions. I found, for example, that some of these islands now have solar panels, to run televisions, etc., and some of their reed boats, which are built by the men, now have motors. I was told that a basic reed boat takes about eight months to build, and about 4,000 empty plastic bottles are used to help with the floatation. However, many of the larger, fancier boats would take even longer to complete. While visiting these reed islands, I was able to actually board one of these man-made boats, and I

Dr. Brian Ho According to recent studies, approximately 20% of North Americans suffer from a sleep problem. Problems with sleep affect both men and women of every race, age, and socioeconomic class. Although lack of sleep appears to be a benign problem, its effects are far reaching. One of the major causes of sleep deprivation is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA is a complete cessation of breathing during sleep for at least 10 seconds. It affects men more than women and particularly individuals between the ages of 40 to 60. If OSA is left untreated, it can lead to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, arrhythmias, as well as sleep-deprived motor vehicle accidents.

Family history Male gender Alcohol use Smoking High blood pressure Asthma

You might be asking yourself, “So how does my dentist come into play with obstructive sleep apnea?” Well, aside from the above mentioned symptoms of OSA, there are several oral manifestations of obstructive sleep apnea that can be seen by your dentist that may help in the detection of OSA. These symptoms include: • Enlarged scalloped tongue • Pain on palpation of the jaw joints • Jaw joint sounds when opening or closing the mouth • Crowding of teeth • Wear patterns on teeth

Because of the widespread prevalence of OSA and the fact that it remains largely undiagnosed in the general population, it is increasingly important that you are screened by your dentist or family doctor so that the treatment process can The symptoms of obstructive begin in a timely manner. Next time, we will discuss sleep apnea include: how OSA is treated and • Intermittent snoring how your dentist can play a • Poor memory huge role in helping you get • Excessive daytime better sleep. sleepiness Dr. Brian Ho is a general • Irritability dentist practising at Trenton • Headaches Family Dental in Trenton, • GERD Risk factors for obstructive Ontario.

Lifestyles - A visit to Peru, for almost anyone, will include a trip to Machu Picchu, the country’s most popular tourist attraction and, indeed, it’s definitely “a must.” After all, it’s one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. However, another Peru “must see,” in my opinion, is Lake Titicaca, which is located high up in the Andes, on the border of Peru and Bolivia. By volume of water, Lake Titicaca is the largest lake in all of South America, and it’s considered to be the highest navigable lake in the world, at an elevation of more than 12,000 feet (almost 4,000 metres). I began my visit to Lake Titicaca at the city of Puno, which is located in southeastern Peru, right on the shore of the lake, and surrounded by the nearby mountains. A boat trip from Puno soon took me to the nearby and fascinating floating reed islands of the Uros Indians. This group of islands is home to the pre-Incan Uros, and they have built these islands, and re-built them, and lived on them for many generations. The islands are made out of totora reeds that grow in this area, and their dense roots support the top layer of these man-made islands. The reeds will rot, of course, so it’s important to regularly stack new reeds on top of the layers that lie beneath. Therefore, the building of these islands is an
