Fraudsters claiming to represent revenue service, credit report agency foiled East Northumberland – Two Trent Hills residents were targeted for fraud in separate incidents but avoided being duped by contacting police. One reported receiving a phone call Feb. 18 from an individual identifying himself as a police officer representing the Canada Revenue Agency who threatened to arrest the person if outstanding taxes were not paid. The call display indicated the call originated from the Northumberland OPP detachment in Campbellford. When the resident called the detachment he was told it was a fraudulent call and that incoming calls from the OPP will display ‘unknown caller’, not the actual phone number. Police warn the public that current technology allows criminals to choose the number that appears on call displays. Residents are advised to verify any demands such as this by using contact information they know to be correct. In the other attempted fraud, a Campbellford resident reported re-
ceiving a phone call from a male with a foreign accent who said he was from Equifax Canada. He said the caller’s credit rating could be adjusted for a small fee to correct an entry error that needed fixing. The resident was instructed to purchase a Canada Post money order in the amount of $6.95 and send it to a post office box in Quebec. A check of the proper address for Equifax shows a similar, but different, post office box number. Canada Post officials said the call appeared to be a fraud, and the resident cancelled the transaction and contacted police. Officers were called to a Brighton home at 3 a.m. to deal with a couple who were arguing and throwing items around the house. Alcohol was a contributing factor, police said. The pair were separated for the night and no charges resulted. Police responded to a dispute between neighbours in Brighton who were arguing over snow removal Feb. 17. Both individuals were spoken to and advised to be civil with each other Please see “Fraudsters” on page 4

Navi, students at ENSS, have arranged for the girls to be welcomed and shown around school, and they even brought gifts for each member of the family after doing some fundraising at the school. The BRING group was spearheaded by Hugh McDonald, Helmut Enns, Christine Hammond, and Keith Smith, bringing the idea to the public at a meeting in October where 61 people showed up in support. “This is such an exciting moment after all the hard work to finally see our family,” said McDonald smiling. “I really hope they will be happy here, and I’m sure they will.” The board of directors consists of McDonald (secretary), Bruce Davis (treasurer), Joyce Cassin (recording secretary), Ken Lewis, Sheena Smith, Lorne Turner, Keith Smith, and Helmut Enns (chair of board). There are numerous other volunteers in charge of the welcoming, acquiring furniture and other household items, clothing, paperwork to sponsor the family, driving, and a whole host of activities required when bringing a family from a wartorn country. BRING hopes to bring another family in if fundraising continues to go well.

Garnet McPherson: Adventurer and community volunteer projects. One frigid winter’s day, while fetching water from his ice hole, he fell through the ice and managed to climb up onto his elbows as hypothermia set in. In legendary hero fashion, his collie grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him out onto the ice. The consummate adventurer and photographer, he traveled the world. On one excursion, McPherson battled Hurricane Emily off the coast of Nova Scotia: Sleepless for three days, he sailed a 31 foot sailboat through 80 foot waves and 100 mile per hour winds. An avid environmentalist, McPherson created an eco-education centre near Brighton and an online journal called Sustainable Living Magazine. Al Gore asked him to be one of the first ambassadors for his Climate Reality Project in Canada. Retired now, McPherson still does his best to contribute and recently was the visionary behind the creation of The Arts Club in Brighton, a co-op facility designed to celebrate the arts, which now supports more than 16 local cultural organizations. Underscoring his philosophy about life, here is what McPherson wrote in his ship’s log on the third day of the hurricane, not knowing if anyone would ever read it:
Brighton Paint & Blinds
By Victor Schukov Garnet McPherson, 63, moved to Brighton 20 years ago in order for his four kids to have an upbringing where, “real people, living real lives, actually have the time of day to have authentic conversations.” While president of his high school camera club, at only 15, he began a career as a freelance photojournalist. Graduating from Sheridan College in photography and film (where he later taught) he felt that his education was incomplete until he studied with the best photographers of that time. So, he spent a few years volunteering for worldclass photographers in New York, and Europe, and one incredible mentor, his hero, Ansel Adams - an American icon who died in 1984, but whose work in large format black and white landscapes revolutionized our understanding of photography as art. “I sat,” says McPherson, “outside Adams’ cabin in the Sierra Nevada’s, until he showed up. I told him I was there to learn. He politely told me to go home, and disappeared into his home for the night. I pulled my poncho over my head and leaned up against a tree as it started to rain and sat there until he
emerged the next morning with two cups of tea and reluctantly asked to see my portfolio. He flipped through five of my images and I guess he liked what he saw, because I spent that summer, assisting and learning as he traveled and photographed the back country that later became a national reserve called the The Ansel Adams Wilderness.” This was just the beginning of McPherson’s love for the natural world. He then went to Algonquin Park where he began documenting the north’s natural wonders. McPherson lived in a log cabin working on photography and film

Brighton grant to TMH hinges on equipment transfer By John Campbell
2.85 per cent. For a property assessed at $250,000 in 2015 and $253,675 in 2016, based on the average increase in phased-in assessments, its tax bill would go up by $87.25 to $3,147.15. Widdifield, however, expressed confidence that the county levy increase will likely drop from 3.8 per cent to 3.3 per cent, reducing the combined tax increase to 2.66 per cent. Only five people showed up for the public consultation, including former councillor Emily Rowley, who asked questions about the drawing down of reserves and the repayment of debts, among other things. The small turnout prompted Deputy Mayor Brian Ostrander to remark: “I’m not seeing outrage ... If this were an onerous tax increase we would be seeing a lot of people here tonight telling us we’re going down the wrong road.” Councillor Mary Tadman said “the crowds were quite large” when council proposed “a big tax increase” last term. If the increase works out to 2.66 per cent, “I think that is very reasonable,” she said.
By Joyce Cassin Brighton - Several deficiencies were identified by residents with the roadwork done on Bayshore Road in Presqu’ile two years ago, and council requested representatives from Northumberland County and Behan Construction attend a meeting to answer questions. “It was in our budget a couple of years ago to have the road resurfaced and some repair work done down there,” Mayor Mark Walas said before he opened the floor to questions. “I will speak to, or at least mention the fact that the director of public works that was here at the time is no longer with the municipality, nor is the more senior management person, the CAO.” Mark Mills from Northumberland, said he wasn’t aware of any deficiencies, yet Coun. Steve Baker said he understood the mayor was to have set up a meeting regarding the matter. “I’m a little confused that you’re not aware of any deficiencies, yet we heard a meeting was attempted and was not successful,” Baker said. “I guess what we’re trying to determine is, was there a deficiency in the grading of the road that’s created this pooling effect, and ultimately, who may or may not be responsible.” Tom Behan said that there was no new drainage put in, and the contract didn’t include any drainage. He added that constructing a ditch would be a huge undertaking and would involve a great deal of money.
are a number of reasons not to have one as it’s subject to abuse. Coun. John Martinello went on the attack toward Coun. Mary Tadman, who had seconded the motion. He was asked to apologize, and refused, stating he was only providing facts. The motion carried with Walas, Tadman, Councillor Laura Vink and Deputy Mayor Brian Ostrander in favour. “I think enough time has gone by that council should revisit that,” Walas said. “A number of other municipalities right across Ontario obviously do have a code of conduct.” Skate on Local schools and community groups wishing to go for a skate can now go safely. Northumberland Sports Council Helmet Initiative provided Brighton with 20 hockey helmets, aimed at reducing head trauma. Parks and Recreation director Jim Millar said the helmets will be available right away, and not to worry, they’ll be sanitized after every use.
What’s in a name? Brighton council voted in favour of changing the name of the safety reserve back to the policing reserve as originally set up in 2009. Mayor Mark Walas said the annual rebates from the OPP go into the reserve and should be used to offset large increases in the future. By changing the name, council would keep in mind what the reserve is for.

Brighton – Council members say they won’t give Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation the $15,000 grant currently included in the 2016 draft budget without assurances that $3 million worth of equipment won’t be moved to Belleville General Hospital. At this point the donation and the condition attached to its release are just recommendations because the budget has yet to be approved by council. Meeting as committee of the whole Monday night to receive public comment on the municipal budget, council members made no further changes to the document they had shaped in four previous committee meetings. The only thing new is the message they want to deliver, that no money be handed over if Quinte Health Care goes ahead with a plan to move Trenton’s day surgery to Belleville and include equipment local residents helped purchase with fundraising. Councillor Steve Baker initially wanted to go one step further and remove the $15,000 from the budget
altogether, to help reduce the overall residential tax rate increase from 2.85 per cent to 2.5 per cent. “I’m asking this council and this municipality to make a statement to Quinte Health Care that we are not pleased with the proposal that the equipment is going to be moved to Belleville,” he said. “I hate for us to take it completely out of our budget in order to get us down to a certain rate,” responded Councillor Laura Vink, who suggested instead the municipality make it “very clear that TMH won’t receive any money from us until we have a guarantee that the equipment will stay in Trenton.” Baker went along with the others in voting in favour of Vink’s motion but didn’t support the committee’s recommendation to council that the proposed municipal tax levy be approved. He asked his colleagues to “wait and leave the floor open for further deliberations” once the final county and education levies are received. Director of finance Linda Widdifield used estimates for both to calculate an overall residential tax increase of

OPINION
Oil downturn
“The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent,” said John Maynard Keynes (or maybe it wasn’t him, but no matter). At any rate, that was the eternal verity the Saudi Arabians were counting on when they decided to let oil production rip – and the oil price collapse – in 2014. Gwynne Dyer late The Saudi objective was to keep the oil price low enough, long enough, to drive American shale oil producers out of business and preserve the OPEC cartel’s market share. (The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries controls only 30 per cent of world oil production, which is already very low for what was meant to be a price-fixing cartel.) The end of sanctions against Iran and that country’s push to raise production and regain its old market share put further downward pressure on the oil price. So did the slowdown in China’s economy. High-cost shale-oil producers in the United States are really hurting (US oil production this year will be down by 700,000 barrels a day), but the OPEC producers are hurting too – and it looks like the Saudis just blinked. On Tuesday Saudi Arabia, Russia, Venezuela and Qatar announced that they would freeze their oil production at the January level. Most other OPEC members are expected to follow suit, and since Saudi Arabia and Russia (not an OPEC member) are the second- and third-largest oil producers in the world, the freeze will affect almost half of the world’s oil production. That will not be enough to rescue the economies of OPEC countries and Russia from their current crisis. (All their economies are actually shrinking, and Saudi Arabia has gone from a budget surplus amounting to 13 per cent of GDP in 2012 to a deficit of 21 per cent last year.) Freezing production will not get the oil price back up when the current global production level is at least two million barrels a day higher than global demand. In fact, the oil glut is so great that the world is running out of places to store the excess production. US and European oil storage facilities are full, and people are already talking about buying tankers as floating storage. Since the beginning of this year the oil price, as high as $115 a barrel less than two years ago, has dipped down into the twenties several times. Not only will the new production freeze not solve this problem; it won’t really even freeze produc-

tion. If there’s one thing that OPEC members do well, it is to cheat on their production figures and pump more oil than they admit. As for Russia, it broke the last deal it made with OPEC about freezing production, and it will probably do it again. Ineffective as this deal is, it illustrates the mounting panic in the major oil producers as the prospect of a long period of very low oil prices opens out ahead of them. Saudi Arabia and Russia are edging towards a direct military confrontation in Syria – the Russian air force backs the Assad regime, and the Saudis are talking about sending ground troops to fight it – but the oil price transcends such issues. So what conclusions may we draw from all this? First, the price of oil will stay down. In the short run it may even go lower: Morgan Stanley analysts say that oil in the $20 range is possible if China devalues its currency further, and Standard Chartered Bank predicts that prices could hit just $10 a barrel. The production freeze might allow the oil price to return to the low $40 range in the medium term, if Chinese demand does not collapse entirely and if the producers keep their promises. That price would enable most of the fracking operations in the United States to stay in business, but it would still fall far short of balancing the budgets of Russia and Saudi Arabia. They can’t really afford to have a full-scale war over Syria. Second, OPEC members with large populations and national budgets that depend heavily on oil revenues (more than 75 per cent) face the prospect of major civil unrest or even revolution. This includes Nigeria, Algeria, Venezuela and Angola. Iran and non-OPEC member Mexico face lesser political risks, but they are not negligible. Finally, a prolonged period of low oil and gas prices will hit the whole array of climate-friendly energy and transportation technologies, from wind farms to electric cars. Energy costs still matter, even if governments can rectify the balance to some extent with carbon pricing and other regulatory measures. But coal, the most polluting of the fossil fuels, still faces early extinction since its main rival for power generation is ever cheaper gas. A ruthlessly rational OPEC leadership (i.e. a Saudi Arabia run by competent economists and strategists) would just end the cash hemorrhage and reduce the political risk by cutting production sharply and getting oil prices back up. But the great gamble to break the US frackers by driving them into bankruptcy was not an ownerless, free-floating policy that somehow took root in OPEC soil. It was a specific strategy that was conceived and promoted by particular powerful individuals, most notably high-ranking Saudi individuals. They would lose a great deal of face if they had to abandon it, so it will be with us for a while yet.

No first responder left behind Editorial - Chris Malette Anyone who knows a cop, an EMS responder or firefighter has heard the harrowing tales these men and women experience while on the job. Imagine, you’re a police officer responding to a scene where a life has been taken, or a suicide has occurred. It’s a bloodied scene and there may have been children involved. Or a firefighter or ambulance first responder needs to crawl into a wreck to help save the life of a trapped individual, someone who may be screaming in pain or seriously maimed in the mishap. They’re images and experiences journalists often witness, as well, but it’s the above mentioned individuals who bear the brunt of carrying that baggage while trying to do their job. Day-in and day-out. The emotional impact of those repeated hits to the psyche can take its toll in the form of illness, even suicide. Now, there seems to be help on the way. According to reports from Queen’s Park, first responders with post-traumatic stress disorder will be able to get quicker and easier access to benefits and treatment under legislation introduced last Thursday. The law would create a presumption that PTSD in first responders is work related, removing the need for them to prove a causal link to the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board. The legislation will be fully rolled out after MPPs return from their winter break in midFebruary. It would cover police officers, firefighters, paramedics, workers in correctional institutions, dispatchers of police, firefighter and ambulance services, and First Nations emergency response teams. A contingent of first responders travelled to Queen’s Park and spoke of the trials of trying to explain to employers, workers compensation boards and the like that they are indeed struggling with their lives after exposure to on the job mental and emotional trauma. Labour Minister Kevin Flynn says it’s important to keep safe the people who keep everyone else safe. He says first responders are at least twice as likely — compared to the general population — to suffer PTSD. “Certainly, it leans that way, and that’s the type of thing we’ve been looking at,” he told reporters after a speech to the Ontario Professional Firefighters Association.

The move was hailed by Carmen Santoro, president of the firefighters association, who told The Toront Star more first-responders need help as soon as possible to prevent complications and higher costs later if medical care is delayed. “There’s less than a handful of employers that are taking the lead on PTSD. The others, in my opinion, are waiting for the provincial government to take the lead.” Only when employers take PTSD seriously will first-responders deal with any issues they’re facing, Santoro added. “If they have a feeling it’s not going to be addressed, then why bother bringing it to the forefront? That’s troubling for our members.” The presumption would apply to new claims, as well as pending claims and claims in the process of being appealed. In an exhaustive piece in which Star reporters spoke to about a dozen police officers, examples of the silent but devastating effects of PTSD were recounted. (http://www.thestar. com/news/crime/2012/10/05/how_the_ontario_provincial_police_deals_with_officers_ ptsd.html), o ne of the officers profiled in the story hailed the pending legislation. Retired Ontario Provincial Police officer Bruce Kruger hopes the proposed legislation will fix the “totally unfair” WSIB claim system. After developing PTSD nearly three decades on the job, Kruger tried twice over an eightyear period to have his claim accepted with the WSIB. He was finally compensated after “a full day of basically crying my eyes out in front of an adjudicator and two lawyers who said I was not deserving.” “You can imagine how demoralizing, how terribly tragic it is to have to relive all the incidents that I had been involved with,” said Kruger. “To go through that was hell.” No first responder –or their families, friends or loved ones – be subjected to an unsupportive system that expects maximum professionalism and sure-mindedness from these people, but which fails to support them in their most desperate time of need. We have supports for all manner of health issues – from subsidized drug benefits to dental programs for those who can’t afford the work – but for those who suffer mostly in silence, until now, there has been nothing. Here’s hoping for non-partisan, speedy enactment and support for this legislation.

“That’s what made me want to start acting,” says Haytaoglu, who’s now 15 and a Grade 9 student at East Northumberland Secondary School. It wasn’t until three years ago that he acted on his desire to become an actor by taking classes that would help him
One of the delights of being in the cast of the TV movie Anne of Green Gables for Drew Haytaoglu was getting to spend some time with Emmy Award and Golden Globe winner Martin Sheen. Photo submitted

Drew Haytaoglu played the part of Gilbert Blythe in Anne of Green Gables, which YTV broadcast Feb. 20. The Grade 9 student at East Northumberland Secondary School has a role in another TV movie that will be broadcast for the first time April 1, Bruno and Boots: Go Jump in the Pool. Haytaoglu, who has gone on dozens of auditions in Toronto, often with less than 24 hours, has the full support of his parents, Hakan, a military pilot at CFB Trenton, and Mauro-Jo who has her own health and wellness business.

with his career ambitions. Soon after signing with an agent, he got picked for small parts in three commercials but he had to go through dozens of auditions before getting any work on television, with Defiance, on the SyFy channel, and Odd Squad, a PBS show that teaches children how to use math. “You’ve got to learn to take rejection, not take it personally,” Haytaoglu said. “If you’re happy that you gave it your best [but] you don’t get it, that’s okay ...You’ve just got to live with it, go to the next audition.” His big breakthrough came when he was chosen to play Gilbert Blythe in the TV-movie based on Lucy Maud Montgomery’s classic tale of the red-haired Canadian orphan, Anne of Green Gables. It was shown on YTV Feb. 20 and Haytaoglu and his family travelled to Toronto for the premiere. “It’s really cool to see your work is being shown and your friends can see that.” The movie was filmed last June on location in Milton, Newmarket and Black Creek Pioneer Village. “It was a lot of fun,” said Haytaoglu, who was on set for four of the 18 days it took to shoot the film. He was “lucky enough” to have a two-hour lunch with American actor Martin Sheen, whose screen credits include Apocalypse Now and The Departed. He also played President Bartlet on the popular TV series, West Wing. “He’s one of the nicest and most genuine people I’ve ever met ... He’s really down to earth,” Haytaoglu said. Sheen, who portrayed Matthew Cuthbert, talked about his experiences in show business and had some advice about being an actor for the Trenton teenager: “Try to be as humble as possible -- which I’m definitely trying to do -- and just enjoy it for what it is.” Although ENSS has a “great” drama program, Haytaoglu said he’s “not really into theatre,” and has his eye on being a TV and film actor. He appears in another TV movie that will air April 1, Bruno and Boots: Go Jump in the Pool. It’s a comedy based on Gordon Korman’s young adult novels about two students who create mischief at a Canadian boarding school. Haytaoglu plays one of their friends, Chris. “I really think people will enjoy it a lot,” Haytaoglu said. He did filming it. Shot last August at McMaster University in Hamilton, “ it was one of the most fun times I’ve had ever in my life,” he said.

SOMEONE DIES
Community Living Campbellford/ Brighton establishing community hub residential model Campbellford - Community Living Campbellford- Brighton has initiated steps to identify candidates for the Community Hub Residential Model (CHR Model) underway in Northumberland County in partnership with Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH). In August 2014, the Minister of Community and Social Services announced that Community Living Campbellford/Brighton would receive $400,000 over two years to create, in collaboration with CMH, a centralized “hub” of support and services for aging individuals with intellectual disabilities that will allow them to continue living independently in rural areas. “This initiative recognizes that there is a growing number of seniors with intellectual disabilities and developmental services must evolve to better serve them. The project aims to assist people who require a significant level of support but don’t necessarily need someone with them for 24 hours a day,” explained Nancy Brown, executive director, Community Living Campbellford/Brighton. The organization has begun the process of identifying the six candidates selected from the existing residential wait list who meet the predetermined criteria for support. Appropriate candidates will be identified through a provincial process with Developmental Services Ontario. Ideal matches for this CHR Model are people who meet the following criteria: have immediate needs requiring higher levels of support and more frequent assistance than the typical Supported Independent Living Program can provide (i.e. people who require approximately 15 – 24 hours of support per week); do not require the medical monitoring of 24 onsite supervision that would be provided in a group home or long-term care home. The CHR Model is designed to allow direct support professionals based in a central hub to provide predetermined booked hours of support, as well as spontaneous support on a 24 hour basis, for people in numerous housing locations within a 20 km radius of the hub.

Available supports include, but are not limited to financial management, help managing an apartment, assistance with all activities of daily living and developing community connections. “Campbellford Memorial Hospital is pleased to be partnering with Community Living Campbellford/ Brighton to assist in providing ‘wrap-around’ care and other services for eligible CHR candidates. Our intent is to ensure that comprehensive support is provided to people with intellectual disabilities as well as aging caregivers. We anticipate a role for the Geriatric Intervention and Assessment Network (GAIN), Trent Hills Family Health Team, the Campbellford and District Community Mental Health Centre and other
community-based organizations,” stated Brad Hilker, president and CEO, Campbellford Memorial Hospital. It is anticipated that the innovative Community Hub Residential Model will prevent premature admission to long-term care, reduce avoidable emergency department visits, improve care and quality of life, assist people in finding affordable housing and increase capacity to meet the needs of people on the residential wait list. “This project recognizes that the CHR model is an ideal residential support option for a large number of people with intellectual disabilities who require a level of support that falls between the Group Home Supported Independent Living programs,” concluded Nancy Brown.

Committee’s challenge: replacing eight doctors who will retire in next four years By John Campbell Colborne – The West Northumberland Physician Recruitment Committee says its challenges include serving a population that’s growing as well as aging, which is increasing demand for family physicians at a time when doctors are retiring, creating shortages. “We have reason to believe eight family doctors in West Northumberland will retire within four years,” and they have a combined roster size of about 12,000 patients, project manager Tracy West said in a presentation she and committee co-chair Lynda Kay made to Cramahe Township council Feb. 16. The committee is working with many of these doctors “to make sure a succession plan is in place,” she said, because “it can sometimes take up to two years to recruit a doctor, so planning is really imperative,” to provide “continuity of care” for all patients. Currently 30 per cent of West Northumberland’s doctors are over the age of 60 and half of them are over the age of 55, West said.

tioner find one in their community who is accepting new patients. West and Kay attended council to argue the need for continued funding by the township. Cramahe’s contribution, roughly $5,565, the same as last year at less than one dollar per resident, is the smallest among the five municipalities; Cobourg’s is the largest at $17,065. Their level of support is based on population. The committee’s operating budget is about $53,500, largely for the project manager’s salary. West said most of her work right now is helping new doctors with their transition plans in taking over a retiring doctor’s practice. “It’s a lot of time and effort,” and includes helping doctors’ spouses find employment. West Northumberland’s doctors “don’t want to leave a practice without having a new doctor come in,” West said, and “it makes them feel really good” to hand it over before they retire. The committee’s funding request will be dealt with when Cramahe council begins its budget deliberations in March.

The committee, funded entirely by Cobourg, Port Hope, and the townships of Cramahe, Hamilton and Alnwick-Haldimand, is considered “one of the most successful recruitment models in Ontario,” Kay said. It has “a very high retention rate,” West said, because “when we recruit we really recruit to make sure the fit is right for the community.” The recruitment of two physicians, including Dr. Steven Waring in Colborne, and the creation of three succession plans were among the committee’s “key accomplishments” in 2015, she said. Getting Waring to return to the area after working in the United States for about 25 years, was “quite a success story.” It ensured continuity of care for more than 1,300 patients of a doctor who was retiring. “Over the past year there’s been a recognized increase in the number of residents looking for a family physician,” West said, and the committee has responded by launching an awareness campaign to direct residents to Health Care Connect. It’s a government program that helps Ontarians without a doctor or nurse practi-

Cap-and-trade could Helmet lending program includes Campellford make consumers and Brighton want to run-and-hide By John Campbell Trent Hills – Ontario plans to introduce a capand-trade system that puts a price on carbon emissions and, guess what, you’ll be reaching for your wallet more often to help reduce greenhouse gases in the province. “It looks like it’s going to cost most householders about $165 a year for cap-and-trade, and it’s going to cost small businesses a lot more than that,” said Deputy Mayor Bob Crate who was in Toronto Monday attending the 2016 Combined Conference of the Ontario Good Roads Association and Rural Ontario Municipal Association. “It’s one of those things where, hopefully, they can lessen the blow a little bit,” he said. “It’s no so bad” to say costs for the year are going up by $165 but when combined with all the other increases that residents will be paying, in taxes, water and sewer rates, for example, “it’s going to be tough on some people to pay these numbers.” Under the cap-and-trade program still being developed by the province, a limit is placed on how many tonnes of greenhouse gas pollution businesses, institutions and households can emit. Companies that emit more pollutants than they’re allowed will be able to purchase credits to come into compliance from companies that have reduced their greenhouse gas emissions to below the cap. The cost of coming into compliance, whether through the purchase of credits or changes in operations, will be passed onto the consumer. Also attending the conference, which ends Wednesday, were councillors Ken Tully and Rick English, along with CAO Lynn Phillips and assistant roads and urban services manager Chris Tye.
Premier Kathleen Wynne announced funding for infrastructure projects in a speech to the municipal representatives Monday afternoon that was followed by a question-and-answer period with cabinet ministers. Crate said he and Tully decided it was “more of a question period [because] you never seem to get any answers.” “They seem to dance around, and they end up saying ‘I’d love to talk further to you about this and if you get hold of my assistant we’ll sit down with you and chat,’” he said. “You really don’t get any concrete answers.” However, it was still an “interesting day,” and it’s always “worthwhile” to talk other politicians and get “some idea of what they’re going through and how it relates” to your own municipality, he said. He was looking forward to Tuesday’s morning session which included a keynote address by Ontario’s acting ombudsman Barbara Finlay whose office, as of Jan. 1, has full oversight of municipalities. She was to explain how complaints about municipal administration, services and officials will be handled. Crate expressed concern that the ombudsman’s expanded authority might be used as “another way for people to stall things,” and could end up costing municipalities more money when they’re “trying to get something done.”
Northumberland - A new helmet lending program in Northumberland County is aimed at getting more children in the game and Campellford and Brighton are two of the locations where helmets can be obtained for free. The Northumberland Sports Council has secured $6,000 in funding from the Dr. Tom Pashby Sports Safety Fund <www.drpashby. ca> to create a new Helmet Lending Program. The program will allow schools and community groups to borrow helmets at no cost, allowing children to safely participate in sports activities that require protective head gear. The local health unit is part of a community group launching a new helmet lending program. “Often a lack of helmets prevents children from getting involved in certain sports,” said Heather Grundy, a sports council member and a health promoter with the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit. “Now with this new helmet lending program, a barrier to recreation is removed as local children can now access the protective head gear they need to safely try out new activities.” The Northumberland Sports Council <www.northumberlandsportscouncil.ca> is
promoting the new Helmet Lending Program to local schools, camps, youth groups, daycares and other community organizations. The sports council has plans to purchase eight bags that would contain 20 CSA-approved helmets apiece (including maintenance kits and cleaning supplies). “We are very grateful for the generous gift from the Dr. Tom Pashby Sports Safety Fund that will allow more children to try out sports and recreational activities they might not otherwise have been able to play,” said Eugene Todd, chairperson of the sports council. “The entire community wins when there is better access to recreation.” Most of the CSA-approved helmets will be for skating and hockey although some of the helmets are also geared for skateboarding and other wheeled activities such as cycling. The Helmet Lending Program is already up and running with bags of 20 CSA-approved helmets available to be signed out at several locations including the Campbellford Arena (call 705-653-1670) and the King Edward Park Arena in Brighton (call 613-475-0302) as well as the Keeler Centre in Colborne (call 905-355-2846). The Sports Safety Fund that bears Dr. Pashby’s name was established to carry on his dream of safe sport for everyone.

Brighton Independent - Thursday, February 25, 2016 13
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 long-term 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 Decem-
ber 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 control over provincial funding for health units and their accountability agreements with the province. “The Patients First discussion paper is a very important announcement by the province because it has significant potential implications for public health units and other sectors,” local Medical Officer of Health Dr. Lynn Noseworthy told Board members. “We need to ensure proper checks and balances are in place to protect public health programs and services.” Board of Health members echoed the sentiment warning that local decision-making regarding Health Unit programs and services could be lost under the “Patients First” proposal. In the coming months Board members will gather more information about the discussion paper and consult with their public health colleagues elsewhere in Ontario about what it could mean.

Recalling the days when rail travel was king The Brighton Heritage Advisory Committee presented “Riding the Rails in Stories and Songs” Feb. 18 and 21 at the King Edward Community Centre. Local historian Dan Buchanan and a group of story tellers provided a rich history of the railways and their importance to the community. Dennis Fletcher served as the master of ceremonies and music was provided by R and R and the Cabooses Children’s Choir, directed by Sharon Graham. The Heritage Week event was produced by Buchanan, Fletcher, Dot Connelly, and Susan Brose. An open house and heritage tea was held Feb. 20.
Ralph and Eugenia Bangay, owners of Memory Junction Museum, were praised for their efforts in preserving a history of Brighton’s railways, which once played a vital role in the local economy and social environment. Photo by John Campbell

Myth: It doesn’t matter what type of toothbrush you use. Not all toothbrushes are created equal. Soft brushes are recommended as hard brushes have bristles that can cause damage to your teeth and gums. The use of toothbrushes with hard bristles can lead to conditions such as receding gums and cause ledges to form along teeth if one is too aggressive about brushing. Therefore, the recommendation is to brush at least twice a day with a soft bristle toothbrush. Myth: If you brush, you don’t need to floss The mouth is filled with bacteria. Brushing only removes bacteria from the front and inside surfaces of teeth. It cannot help you clean in between the teeth. Yes, even electric toothbrushes cannot clean in between teeth either. Flossing is the only way to remove the bacteria between teeth so that you won’t get cavities there (I nickname these cavities as “flossing cavities”) Myth: Cosmetic dentistry is only for the rich and famous You would be surprised how affordable cosmetic dental procedures are. You can always budget for them and there are thirdpartyfinancingorganizations available to assist you with making those procedures more affordable. Currently, whitening procedures are the most affordable and popular cosmetic services across Canada. Myth: You only need to visit the dentist if you have a problem Most oral health conditions remain quite silent in our mouths especially early on. For example, cavities, when small, often cannot
be felt. The cavity is usually only noticed by the individual when it reaches close to the nerve. At this point, the tooth will likely require a root canal and crown or even worse an extraction (tooth loss). Another group of conditions that often goes unnoticed by patients are the gum diseases. Most gum diseases are not felt until you the teeth become quite loose. However, by that time, it is usually too late to save them and the result is tooth loss. By visiting your dentist regularly, your dentist can detect these problems early and correct them before major dental procedures become necessary. Not only will you save your teeth but you will also save your money. Myth: Root canals never work. After a root canal my tooth just broke and it had to be removed. This is partially true. Root canal therapy is a very effective treatment for relieving toothaches. However, all root canal treated teeth are at risk for fracture. Any teeth in the back of the mouth with root canal treatments need to be capped. Otherwise, you are at risk for losing them due to breakage. Myth: I don’t need teeth because I can always get dentures.
This is a very serious misconception. Individuals who must resort to the use of dentures experience a complete change in their lifestyle. Wearing dentures means that you will likely have to avoid eating certain types of food because they may be too difficult to chew. Another concern that most denture wearers share are dentures becoming loose. This results because the shape of the inside of the mouth changes with tooth loss and therefore dentures will become ill-fitting and loose with time. However, sometimes even the best fitting dentures will not stay in place because dentures experience a multitude of forces that knock them out of place. One example is the movement of the tongue during eating or even talking. That is why dentures alone are not an appropriate replacement for your teeth. discuss next time. Please stay tuned.

The way it was in Cramahe Township By John Campbell Heritage Cramahe Committee and Cramahe Township Public Library offered area residents a timeline of the township’s built history Feb. 20 at the Keeler Centre. Visitors were invited to browse online the library’s digital archives or examine artifacts. They could also find out what was happening across Canada and around the world at the same time that events of note were taking place locally. The exact function of this object proved puzzling but Jim Detenbeck was convinced it had something to do with socks. Photo by John Campbell

Northumberland County unveils commemorative wardens’ display

The display features the names of the 39 members of council who have served as warden since the separation of Northumberland County from the United Counties of Durham and Northumberland in 1974. Both Brocanier, the mayor of Cobourg, and Coombs, mayor of Cramahe Township, noted the contributions of past wardens and the number of responsibilities that a warden has during his or her term. The wardens’ display is in county council chambers at 555 Courthouse Rd. in Cobourg. For visiting times and other information call 905-372-3329 ext. 2232.

Mud terrain tires stolen from Campellford Chrysler Association’s request for one of many calls received by Northumberland OPP committee of council Northumberland – The Northumberland Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) dealt with a variety of calls this past weekend. Here are some examples. Feb. 19: A Campbellford resident reported falling victim to a “Microsoft scam”. He allowed remote access to his computer leaving himself vulnerable to all his personal
information being taken. The fraudster requested that he attend his bank and withdraw $1,000 and send it to them via Western Union. The caller did not send the money and cancelled/changed all his banking information. At 9:11 p.m., police received a complaint of an erratically driven silver Chev Cavalier coming from the Trenton area. Officers observed the car entering the
Brighton area on County Rd. 2 and stopped the vehicle resulting in the driver being arrested for impaired operation. Joel Donald Roberts, age 59 of Brighton is charged with Impaired Care & Control of a motor vehicle and having Care & Control of a motor vehicle while his blood alcohol content exceeded 80 mg in 100 ml of blood. He was held at the Brighton detachment until sober then released with a court date of March 1 at the Ontario Court of Justice in Brighton. Feb. 20: Police responded to a domestic disturbance in Cramahe Twp. where one partner stated they were “done with all of this” and “going to end it.” Officers determined that this was not R0013531045 a threat of self-harm, merely a reference to

the relationship ending. No further police action was required. Feb. 21: The Campbellford Chrysler dealership reported the theft of five BFGoodrich Mud Terrain 17” tires and rims from a brand new Jeep displayed on the north side of their lot. The suspect is described as a male possibly in his early twenties wearing a gray hoodie and jeans, driving a light coloured Jeep Wrangler which had been parked at an adjacent business while the theft occurred. The suspect then backed onto the lawn from Grand Rd., to the front row of new cars for sale and loaded them into his vehicle. The total loss is estimated to be $4,000. If anyone has information regarding this theft they are asked to call the Campbellford OPP detachment at 705-6533300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS (8477). Investigation ongoing.
rejected by council
By John Campbell
Cramahe Township -Council has turned down a request by Cramahe Community Association’s to have a committee of council struck that would work with the association as it gathers information on behalf of the township. Council was prepared to “encourage them to continue what they’re doing and [be] willing to work with them” but not by means of a committee of council, Mayor Marc Coombs said. Association president Burke Friedrichkeit explained in a letter to the mayor the information gathering would be related to the operations of the municipality, to help it
“move forward and thrive in the future.” Under the arrangement sought by the association, members would be “able to talk to staff, access files, liaise with relevant agencies to get answers” and then report back to the committee of council. “This is not an unreasonable request in view of the serious staffing issues in Cramahe,” Friedrichkeit wrote. “We weren’t too surprised [by council’s decision],” he said in an interview. “They don’t seem to understand that we want to help.” Council members suspect “we might interfere with them which is not our intention at all.” Please see “Associations” on page 19

Meeting number three of the Hastings County Sewing Life Skills Club was held on February 1, 2016. This meeting was held at the Springbrook Hall. At this meeting some club members started to sew their pajamas while others finished cutting their fabrics out. For some club members it was their first time ever sewing. There were some people that made some mistakes so they had to take the seams out and re-sew. This is one of the many things that symbolizes the 4-H motto “Learn to Do by Doing”.

ENSS concert band invited to perform at MusicFest Canada in May By John Campbell Brighton – East Northumberland Secondary School’s concert band will perform at the 44th annual MusicFest Canada in Ottawa in May. It earned a spot at the invitation-only event after achieving a silver standing at one of the affiliated regional festivals, the Ontario Band Association Concert Band Festival held in Thornhill Feb. 12. “The kids were all very excited” when they learned they had been invited to the national finals, ENSS music teacher Lynda Tonkin said. “There was a lot of noise.”
Association’s request for committee of council rejected by council Continued from page 18 He has given up hope council will one day agree to set up a committee of council. The idea is “not on the back burner, it’s just that we have to tread lightly.” In his letter Friedrichkeit complained the association has asked for information on several occasions and not received “any satisfactory response from staff and council.” He said taxpayers have a right to know how their tax dollars are being spent as well as the right to ensure council and staff members are being “transparent and accountable” to them. “Cramahe Township is in crisis mode and is facing huge challenges, in particular, the lack of qualified personnel in key positions is seriously undermining the township’s ability to function,” he wrote. He described a “toxic work environment” and argued there was a need for council “to start working working together to change the negative attitudes and perceptions internally and in the community”. Friedrichkeit said the association will continue to attend council meetings and bide its time waiting for an opportunity to demonstrate it can be “of great assistance. “If council doesn’t want anything there’s not much you can do,” other than try to persuade members to “change their outlook” and make them realize “we can help them.” Coombs said the association’s concerns about requests for information being ignored “didn’t come up” at the last council meeting. “I’m going to talk to them privately about that and resolve that issue,” he said.
The last time the school’s concert band was asked to attend was “years ago – it’s been a while,” she said. The band was awarded a silver last year “and the year before that we got a silver with an award of distinction,” but neither resulted in an invitation being offered. “I guess it just depends on the adjudicators at the time,” she said. “They’re from all over Canada and the United States.” ENSS performed two numbers, Creed and Chesford Portrait. Three adjudica-
tors evaluated their work; one provided written comments, another provided comments on a recording of their performance, and the third worked with the band as soon as it finished, giving them feedback, Tonkin said. The band’s 29 members are “very proud of themselves,” for having done as well as they did, rehearsing together just once a week. “That invitation was something quite special for all of us.” East Northumberland’s jazz band “did very well” earning a bronze at the festi-
val it recently attended in Oshawa. Two years ago it got invited to the national finals but the event was in Vancouver “so that didn’t work out for us to go,” Tonkin said. This week the school’s Razzmajazz group was to perform at the Ontario Vocal Festival in Bowmanville Feb. 23. ENSS has been sending the three groups to the annual festivals for more than two decades. Tonkin’s husband Bruce and Dan Walker were the music teachers who preceded her before she stepped into their role three years ago.
“Over the years there have been invitations to nationals and they’ve been able to perform at them but it’s been a little while since that’s happened,” she said. MusicFest Canada brings together more than 10,000 of Canada’s finest young musicians each year for the opportunity to earn recognition as the country’s foremost musical ensembles. More than 20 of the students in East Northumberland’s concert and jazz bands and Razzmajazz are also involved in the school’s production of Mary Poppins set for April 28-30 and May 5-7.

Trenton Golden Hawks set new franchise record
By Erin Stewart Trenton – Not only did the Trenton Golden Hawks pull off a 3-2 win in overtime against the tough Kingston Voyageurs on Friday Feb. 19, they also broke the team’s franchise record with their 42nd win of the season. “It feels pretty good,” Hunter Fargey said about the team setting a new franchise record. “I was here last year and we set 41 so to get 42 this year is a bonus.” Fargey, a Belleville native, chipped in
the team’s winning goal at 43 seconds into overtime. He has had a fantastic season, continuing a 10 game win streak with his overtime goal, and he’s ranked as the team’s fourth top scorer with 48 points as of Feb. 19. The Hawks, ranked first in the Ontario Junior Hockey League’s (OJHL) east division, faced off against Kingston, ranked second in the east division, for the second time in one week. Again, the close game went into overtime and again, the Hawks pulled through with
the win. “We came out a little flat, (goalie) Urbani kept us in the game,” Coach Jerome Dupont said of the team’s start to the game. “Then we got our legs… you’ve got to make the plays to win tight games and (Brandon) Marinelli made a hell of a play to set up Fargey for the winner.” The Golden Hawks put up a strong defence, not allowing Kingston to score on any of its four penalty plays. The Voyageurs’ penalty kill was also spotless, not letting in a single goal on Trenton’s three power plays. Blayne Oliver and Quinn Lenihan scored the first two goals for the Hawks and Brandon Marinelli,
Kevin Lavoie, Keaton Ratcliffe, Nick Boddy and Curtis Harvey each chipped in an assist. Connor Cobbold and Anthony Rinaldi scored Kingston’s two goals from Cole Beckstead and Ian Harris each registered an assist. Hawks’ star goalie Daniel Urbani stopped 20 out of 22 shots sent his way while Kingston’s David Richer rejected 23 out of 26 shots. The Trenton Golden Hawks have one more week before playoffs begin. “At this point we want to finish the regular season strong so that we have a bit of a momentum going into the playoffs and that’s our main objective,” Dupont said. Update: The Trenton Golden Hawks beat the Wellington Dukes 4-2 during their away game on Sunday Feb. 21, further bettering their franchise record.
The Hawks scored three unanswered third-period goals to defeat the Dukes. The win evens the regular-season series between the two local Jr. A hockey clubs, 2-2. Curtis Harvey, Hunter Fargey and Jordan Chard scored — in that order — for TGH in the final frame. In what might’ve made for an exciting finish, Wellington’s Ben Sokay was stoned by Trenton netminder Jackson McIntosh on a late penalty shot attempt. Luc Brown and Sokay had posted the hometown Dukes to a 2-0 first-period lead before Trenton’s Quinn Lenihan carved that advantage in half before the intermission. The second stanza was scoreless. The team has two more league games left of the season, the first in Lindsay on Friday Feb. 26, and the second in Aurora on Saturday Feb. 27.

Teacher freed on bail, faces 36 sex charges
Belleville - A local elementary school teacher has been released from custody after being charged with 36 counts of sex crimes involving four minors. Jaclyn Lindsay McLaren, who is also known as Jaclyn (Jackie) Jones, 36, of Stirling, is free on a $100,000 bond. She appeared in a bail hearing Friday in Belleville court. Ontario Provincial Police confirmed the woman is employed as a teacher with the Bellevillebased Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board. A ban on publication has been ordered to protect the identities of the complainants, four boys who were believed to have been students at the time of the alleged incidents. Ontario Provincial Police investigator Sgt. Peter Leon said the charges now involve four young people ages 12 to 15 and date from 2013 to 2016. Investigators say the incidents occurred in Tweed. Sources say it is believed the alleged incidents occurred when McLaren/Jones was a French teacher in Tweed. Sources also said she had been transferred out of that school in recent months, howIn this image taken from a now closed Instagram account, the Stirling woman charged with multiple counts involving sexual ever. dealings with minors, is shown in a selfie.

with eight counts of sexual exploitation, six counts of luring a person younger than 16 and six counts of making sexually explicit material available to a person under 16. McLaren/Jones is charged with three counts of making child pornography and one count of making sexually explicit material available to children. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also charged with four
counts each of sexual assault on a person younger than 16, sexual interference with a person younger than 16 and making an invitation to sexual touching involving a person younger than 16. Police began investigating McLaren/Jones on Sunday Feb. 14. On Monday, Feb 15, they charged the teacher and she was held
in custody until her release Friday in Belleville court. It is reported McLaren/Jones has been removed from her teaching position, but it is unclear if she is on paid leave while the matters are before the court. Represented by Belleville defence lawyer Pietr Kort, McLaren/Jones was released from custody and was placed in the care of her parents by Justice of the Peace Sam Cureatz. Cureatz ordered her not to have any contact with the four minors involved as complainants in the case or with any boy younger than 18. She must avoid public places where minors may gather and has been ordered not to possess a cell phone. Computers in her parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home were to be removed and McLaren/ Jones is also banned from possessing weapons. In a release, OPP asked that anyone with information on the McLaren/Jones case can call 1-888-310-1122 and ask for the Central Hastings OPP crime unit. Anonymous tips may be made to Crime Stoppers at www.tipsubmit.ca or 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). McLaren/Jones is to return to court March 31.

Women’s U-19 World Floorball Championships Yes, it really IS a big deal Q & A with the President of the 2016 Women’s u-19 World Floorball Championships Brett Davis 1. How did floorball even come into a conversation for you? At Moira Secondary School, phys ed coach Todd Crawford came into my classroom and asked me if I wanted to take U-19 Women to Slovakia for the 2011 World Championship and I said yes. We made two quick phone calls, put in the registration money we had to get a team together in nine months. 2. Did you think this was serious? Crawford told me he was going to make a general manager out of me and I said okay. Next I said what the hell is floorball? We started to know more about the sport, Todd had already coached the Canadian Men’s team and we put a team together and went over. 3. What was your first world championship team like? We learned a lot about floorball on that trip. We also played against the Hungarian national team. We had to learn some of the rules while we were playing against a Group A team and we only lost 7-4. They wanted to know how long we had been playing and we told them it was our first game. We told them it was very similar to hockey and we know hockey. Our whole team was hockey players through and through.
4. After the 2012 worlds in Slovakia what was next for you in floorball? We had about 60 athletes routinely playing floorball ahead of the next world championships in Poland. They weren’t just converted hockey players any more. We were taking the best players at our disposal. We thought we were a favourite in the Group B teams, to possibly win and move up into group A. The Poland tournament was a good growing experience, although we didn’t win. We played some local teams as well and the program continued to grow after the Poland tournament.
wanted the sport to grow around the world and they were looking to North and South America to host an upcoming tournament. We were up against Switzerland and we felt we were going to be in a close race. Out of the 13 votes, we won it 9-4.
5. How did the first conversation start that Belleville could host a world championship tournament? In 2013, the City of Belleville was in the process of constructing the brand new Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre and we knew how good it was going to be. We felt it would work really well for a floorball tournament. We then talked to city officials and we announced we were interested in hosting the tournament, Mark Wilson, Mark Fluhrer, Peter Lyng, everyone we met with was on board. M.P Daryl Kramp, M.P.P Todd Smith, Mayor Neil Ellis, they were all on side. We submitted our bid in Prague Czech Republic. The IFF (International Floorball Federation) stated they
7. Did you have an idea of what would go into hosting a world championship? I was naive enough to think we could run it that week. I was mistaken. I knew it would be busy in the weeks leading up to the tournament, I had no idea it would be insane about one year out. That was a surprise. The meetings for media, for television rights, hotels, food, flights, travel, sponsorship, security, logistics, tickets, volunteers, it is incredible the amount that goes into it. It is a process, you have to give a little, you have to take a little. It is one process after another, but many people are working together to make it happen. It is countless hours getting things just right.
6. How did you find out you won the bid? I received a call at 5 a.m on Mother’s Day (2013) that we were hosting the 2016 tournament. I was told not to tell anyone for 48 hours. It was a long 48 hours. That afternoon we organized a press conference for a few days later and then we announced to the world we were going to be hosting the world. 8. Do you feel Belleville and the Quinte area are ready to take on this challenge? We are getting there. There is still a lot left to do, but it is starting to become a reality now that we are less than three months out. To think that I get to be a part of Belleville hosting the world for the first time is humbling. It makes me very proud. This is the best of the best coming. Sixteen countries are coming to our doorstep. They will be playing for the world title. It is awesome.

Many changes as Choral Society concert approaches By Jack Evans Belleville Choral Society officials report a “season of change” as they approach their annual spring concert, set for April 10 in St. Michael’s Church, Belleville. Over the past few months, some 20 new voices have joined the choir, bringing reinforcements to the choir’s alto and tenor sections. Significant among those are Diane Ankenmann and her husband , Doug. When Peter Fuller stepped down as accompanist for the choir following its most recent Christmas concert, Diane , with strong piano accreditations, stepped into that much-needed void. With her extensive experience as a pianist, accompanist and educator, her volunteer efforts made a “seamless transition” for the job in the words of one BCS official. The couple are among the many retirees to the Quinte area in recent years from the Metropolitan Toronto area, enriching the local area’s talent pool. The choir’s spring concert is titled: “Songs from the Heart,” and will be an eclectic mix of classic, sacred, folk and contemporary choral arrangements including jazz and show tunes. Special guests will include Alexandra Danahy, flautist, winner of a BCS scholarship and former member of the Quinte Youth Chorale under Rudolf Heijdens. One of the area’s major and senior cultural organizations, the choral society serves as a training ground for singers wanting to hone their skills and also as an outlet for talented amateur singers from across the area to sing in a recreational setting to the delight of local audiences. Tickets are now available at the Quinte Arts Council Office and on line at the choir’s new website: www.bellevillechoralsociety.org.

Quinte Symphony offers European Holiday
Music by such famous European composers as Rossini, Dvorak, Tchaikowsky and Rimsky-Korsakov will be featured in a concert by Quinte Symphony on Sunday, Feb. 28. The concert is set for 2 p.m. in Bridge Street Church. This is the public’s first opportunity to hear a new sound from the orchestra, now with several new players making significant contributions, including viola and cellos. One word that might sum up this program is “exciting,” as it is the first local performance of an amaz-
ing trumpet concerto by Russian composer Alexander Arutiunian (1920-2012.) His “Trumpet Concerto in A flat Major” will be the featured work on the program, played by Quinte Symphony’s own director of music and master trumpeter, Dan Tremblay, his first local performance as a soloist. An award-winning Russian composer, Arutiunian’s music was strongly influenced by American jazz and composers like Gershwin. Orchestra players report the public will find this music easily accessible and tuneful. It has been a long time since a trumpet concerto has been featured in a concert in Belleville. Assistant conductor, local resident Patrick

The Casey Charles Memorial Super Senior Bonspiel
By Sue Dickens
Campbellford – It wasn’t the Super Bowl, it was the Casey Charles Memorial Super Senior Bonspiel that brought together teams of men whose accumulative age per team had to total at least 280 years. “As long as the total age of everyone on the team came to 280, they could enter the competition,” said Glen Brubacher who has been curling since he was 16 and has organized the bonspiel here for the past three years. That meant a minimum age of 70 was required. Brubacher took over the role of organizer from Elton Hutchinson, a longtime curler and founding member of Campbellford’s curling club which hosted this bonspiel. He was also the oldest curler at the bonspiel, “in his early 90s”. He continues to curl on a regular basis but with the West Northumberland Curling Club in Cobourg where he now lives. The bonspiel was started in 2001 in memory of Casey Charles who “was quite a colourful fellow,” according to Hutchinson. “Our bonspiel is noted for being
the Casey Charles Memorial clam chowder bonspiel too,” said Brubacher as he explained that although he never met Casey Charles, “he was quite a social character and a chef,” who was famous for his clam chowder. “Casey Charles was a good buddy ... he was a cook on the navy ships that went overseas [during the war],” said Hutchinson. So clam chowder was served to the curlers for lunch. Two draw winners emerged from the day-long event with one team taking the Casey Charles Memorial trophy, and that was the winning rink from Trenton which included curlers Benny Brock, skip; Bob Bateman, vice; Lloyd Danford, second; and Bob Gates, lead. “They are very good curlers. Benny and Bob are fairly well known in curling and have been for some time,” commented Brubacher. A team from the Peterborough Curling Club led by Harry Litvin, skip, was a draw winner too. Others on the team included Ben Gaertner, vice; Jim Robinson, second; and Ken Koy-

anagi, lead. Even though the average age had to be 70 or more, the bonspiel attracted curlers from not only Campbellford but also from Brighton, Cobourg, Colborne, Ennismore, Lakefield, Napanee, Norwood, Omemee, Trenton and Peterborough. “Imagine getting all those curlers for that bonspiel with the age of a team at 280 years,” said Hutchinson, praising the organizers. Al Barr was co-chair of the bonspiel who, with Brubacher and a many helpers, made sure it was a successful day. “It was a huge success because of the great help I had from volunteers who worked in the kitchen and acted
as registrars and scorekeepers,” noted Brubacher, who included his committee of nine volunteers in that remark. “And although the Campbellford curlers may not have won, we’re all good hosts,” he added. Both Brubacher and Hutchinson agreed the bonspiel provided an opportunity for curlers to meet up again and renew acquaintances. “I really like the social aspect,” noted Brubacher. Hutchinson agreed, “You want to believe it ... it’s a great way to meet people from other clubs.” The annual bonspiel provided a chance for many reunions between friends that they only get to see at this event once every year.
Tentative agreement reached for public elementary teachers
The Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board and the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario, Hastings-Prince Edward Teacher Local have reached a tentative settlement on local bargaining issues. The two parties announced the settlement in a joint media release on Feb. 23. The news suggests there will be labour peace at public elementary schools. “We are pleased that the negotiation teams for the Board and ETFO worked collaboratively to reach a tentative agreement,” said Dwayne Inch, Chair of the Board. “Our elementary teachers play an important role in educating children, and we appreciate their contributions to student achievement and well-being. Dave Henderson, President of ETFO HastingsPrince Edward, added, “We are pleased that we have reached a tentative settlement with the board. This has been a lengthy and challenging process, but we believe the end result is a positive outcome for our members. “Our team would like to thank all of our members for their patience and support as we worked to achieve a fair settlement in this new bargaining framework. Ratification votes by both parties will take place in the coming weeks.

Madoc C.O.P.E. is not cutting back services or closing its doors
By Diane Sherman
Madoc - The executive director of the Madoc C.O.P.E. Corporation, Beverly Lloyd, says all agency programs are fully active. Community Opportunities for Progressive Employment, (C.O.P.E.) is a government transfer agency under the Ministry of Community and Social Services. Currently the ministry is working to create socially engaging work environments for clients across Ontario. Individuals with a developmental disability have been traditionally sent to “sheltered workshops”, set in locations away from mainstream life. It is these types of work places that
the ministry is hoping to phase out over time, as alternative competitive work environments are found where clients interact more with the general public. So, agencies are not taking any new clients into those “sheltered” programs. Madoc does not have sheltered workshops. They operate The Dough Box and Centre Car Wash in the village where clients work. Lloyd, as were directors of other developmental services agencies, was instructed to send home a mail-out on the sheltered workshop issue. She said many may have interpreted the information to mean Madoc C.O.P.E. is closing. “That is far from the truth. Our agen-
cy programs are actually growing.” Madoc C.O.P.E. serves clients in Central Hastings including Stirling, Tweed, Marmora, Ivanhoe, Eldorado and Madoc. It maintains a staff of 10 full-time workers (counting Lloyd) and three casual relief workers. Staff work in five support programs, youth to adult transition, a community participation service and support day program, supported independent living and employment supports. They also support individuals receiving Passport Funding to be more active in the community, and have incorporated the Health Energy Learning Motivation through Sports (HELMS) program into their current supports and programs.

Roblin – Friends and neighbours of Paul King, winner of a $100,000 scratch-and-win lottery prize, say he has set out to Newfoundland to buy back his family home in that province. King moved to Roblin about a year ago from Newfoundland and works for a landscaping company in the Roblin area. He has two sons and is reported to have been overwhelmed with his win in the Instant Bingo game. “He was jumping up and down,” said one acquaintance who added, “He’s a great guy, he’d give you the shirt off his back.” King is expected to return to Ontario within a week or two. “I had to check my ticket quite a few times before the reality sank in,” said King while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings. “I still have the shakes. “When my parents passed away a couple of years ago, their home in Newfoundland was sold and rented out,” he told lottery officials. “I want to buy our family home back and move in.” Lotto winner Paul King is known by friends as a generous soul. The winning ticket was purchased at Roblin He’s shown here with his winning cheque for Instant Bingo. SubGas Bar on Highway 41 in Roblin. mitted photo

Celebrating all things Celtic with a kitchen party Westben Arts Festival Theatre presented the first of its three fundraisers for the year – a rollicking Ceilidh Kitchen Party held at the Clock Tower Cultural Centre Sunday afternoon. The entertainment included performances by Kilt Trip, a poetry reading by Chick Reid and storytelling by Betty Bennett, who co-chaired
the event with Debra Richardson-Edge. Members of the Belleville’s Quinte Irish Canadian Society livened the party with their dancing. A Scotch tasting was held prior to the kitchen party getting underway. The event raised about $3,500 from the sale of 60 tickets, along with a silent auction and raffles of Celtic food.
Gord Reid conducted a session on the finer points of drinking Scotch. Photo by John Campbell Kilt Trip (whose members include Jana Reid and Andy Thompson) got Westben’s Ceilidh Kitchen Party off to a rousing start. Photo by John Campbell
