Commissioner finds mayor contravened

R0012491340
By Ray Yurkowski
News – Brighton – Dozens of residents were on hand at the King Edward Park Community Centre last week to hear Integrity Commissioner Nigel Bellchamber deliver the results of his latest investigation. But before that, Mayor Mark Walas tried to suspend the meeting and the report, calling it a “grave disorder� under the municipal Procedural Bylaw mainly because the document was not available to members of council until 30 minutes before the scheduled start of the proceedings.
“To present this report at this time is blindsiding at its worst,� he told those in attendance. “This is unconscionable and disrespectful to our community.� As well, Walas called the process “a miscarriage of due process and an affront to democracy� because Councillor Mary Tadman, along with witnesses in support of Councillor John Martinello, were not interviewed. When the gavel was struck he, Martinello and Tadman left the room, followed by about a dozen supporters. But the rest of
council disagreed. Councillor Craig Kerr raised a “point of order,� saying there was no grave disorder and the mayor’s decision was overruled. “Normally, I would agree with the mayor, that material to be discussed at a council meeting should be available to members of council and the public in advance,� said Bellchamber, as he opened his presentation. “However, an integrity commissioner’s report is a very different kind of animal that does not recommend any particular action from council tonight. It in-
volves the investigation of complaints and there are no winners.� In all, there were three complaints alleging contraventions of the municipal Code of Conduct. Walas was named in all three, while Tadman and Martinello were both named in two. “At the heart of those complaints was a demonstration of the cited members of council of a substantial lack of respect for the role of appointed staff,� explained Bellchamber. “These same complaints Please see “Integrity� on page 8

Garrett Sports Field (Trenton High School) on Saturday, May 24. The goal is to raise $50,000. The event will run from noon until midnight.

Mayor John Williams is very pleased with the work being done by the committee. “I encourage everyone to get involved in the first community Relay for Life this year in Quinte West to raise money for the fight against cancer. Thank you to all those on the committee involved in making this happen. Another example of the great community spirit in Quinte West!” Chairperson, Debbie Blight, remarked that, “This years Relay for Life is a first time ever community event and people of all ages are welcome to participate as a family, group, club, church, business, industry, etc.” (If you wish to register as an individual or as a team for the event please visit: www. relayforlife.ca/Quintewest or contact Lauren Marlowe at:

Events - Belleville - Water, we love you! That sentiment will be at the heart of a water ceremony to take place next month. It is co-hosted by DocFest 2014 and the Occupy Our Hearts Belleville group that formed following DocFest 2013. This year the group
All welcome at the upcoming water ceremony has planned the water ceremony to highlight the DocFest film Watermark that will be shown at 3:15 p.m. on the same day. A discussion following the film will highlight the need for a change in people’s relationship to water. Everyone is welcome to join the free ceremony
whether or not they attend the film. The Occupy Our Hearts water ceremony will take place on Sunday, March 2. Participants are asked to gather in front of Café E at 357 Front Street, Belleville between 11 and 11:15 a.m. The gathering will then cross the road to the Riverside
Brighton’s past comes to life
Trail. Activities will include drumming, poetry, chanting and prayer. The ceremony will run for about 45 minutes. “All water ceremonies involve sending love, appreciation and respect to this essential life-giving element,” explains Evelyn Wolff, a founding member of Occupy Our
Hearts Belleville. Most water ceremonies have traditional Native roots. The ceremony planned by Occupy Our Hearts Belleville is a shorter, modified version working with water from the Moira River as it flows through Belleville into the Bay of Quinte.
For more information visit the Occupy Our Hearts Belleville page on Facebook. Coincidentally, Kim Maracle will be conducting a full traditional Native water ceremony on Saturday, Mar. 1 in Tyendinaga. RSVP details are available at www.davidmrmaracle.com.

At one booth at the exhibit, a late 1950s menu from Paul’s Drive-In Restaurant, which was located at the “gateway to Presqu’ile Provincial Park,” reminded of the good old days, when a cup of coffee was 10 cents and $2.50 could buy a grilled T-bone steak dinner, complete with French fries, fried onions and cole slaw. A chef’s salad was an extra 30 cents. Photo: Ray Yurkowski

With a focus on people in our past, lots of photos and artefacts told the stories of those who shaped Brighton’s past at the second History Open House, held last weekend at the community centre. In the foreground are tools from local blacksmith Sam Hazelwood, who came to Canada in 1889, at the age of nine. After working on a Codrington farm, he moved to Brighton in 1899 to learn the trade, and then settled at Orland in 1908 to set up shop. Photo: Ray Yurkowski

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Olympics are over, now it is back to work! Dear Editor, In Stephen Harper’s government (not the Canadian government) it has never really stopped. It continues to brainwash us with TV and media ads. (Some for non-existent programs). These are paid for with our taxes all with the intention of tweaking the facts and diverting us from the ongoing litany of scandals and mismanagement we have suffered under Stephen Harper. This Conservative government has managed to subvert the democratic principles that have served us so well for generations that it can ram through ‘Omnibus bills’ that further entrench their power base, while denying the opposition and the electorate any input. The Finance Minister can imperiously state that he won’t discuss any external suggestions and a new Elections Act can be railroaded through parliament that actually guts the power of the commissioner, does nothing to control ‘robo calls’ and
yet is being sold as progressive and protective legislation. We all know what happened to Mr. Harper’s promised Senate reform and he has since packed that forum with non-elected cronies so that any sober second thoughts from that chamber are unlikely to arise. His promised transparent government has instead been replaced by a repressive regime that seeks to muzzle the CBC and our civil servants, or fires and attempts to discredit scientists whose findings point out the errors of his policies. These roadblocks to his Messianic vision of a Canada ruled by sterile economists tied to the almighty dollar and to international cartels, are being swept away by draconian legislation and funding cuts. Now, emboldened by his ‘success’ in Europe, and despite strong opposition (mirrored in Australia and even in USA), Stephen Harper is embarking on a
secret, global pact that would allow corporations to sue the Canadian government for billions, just for passing laws to protect our health or the environment. You would think he’d have had second thoughts after seeing the multimillion dollar claims by US corporations brought under NAFTA, when Canada legislated to protect its citizens against their depredations. This deal, the TPP (Trans Pacific Partnership), is like the disastrous Canada-China FIPA trade pact on steroids. Harper and his trade minister are refusing to make the deal public, although corporate lobbyists seem to be getting the inside track, making it hard to know just what’s in the TPP. But leaks so far indicate this is bad news. That’s why Harper wants it to stay confidential. He’d prefer to quietly sign away our rights without a big fuss.

employees, agents, or contractors for the purpose of law enforcement, intelligence, essential security, or similar governmental purposes”. These secret meetings in Singapore are happening right now. Harper wants us to believe the 12-country Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is all about getting a better deal for Canada. But the
truth is that it could end up being one of the biggest corporate power grabs in a generation. No wonder Stephen Harper and the other negotiators, as well as the strong US industry lobbies, want to keep it a secret until it is signed. Iain Henderson, Brighton
Thanks for sponsoring Pet of the Week
Dear Editor, I would like to thank the Trent Hills Independent for sponsoring a Pet Of The Week for Cat Care Spay/Neuter Initiative. We have had several adoptions since you have been doing this. We have also had some food, litter, cat towers, toys and monetary donations from generous people who have mentioned seeing the Pet Of The Week. I have had calls from people as far away as Brighton and Madoc looking to adopt. I even had an email
from someone in Napanee who said they had seen the Pet Of The Week online. This has been invaluable for finding loving forever homes for our cats and kittens. We still have about 50 cats in our care in foster homes and are always looking for people willing to open their hearts and homes to fostering. We are also looking for someone who is able to take feral, free-roaming cats into their home after surgery for a few days of after care. Kitten season will be here very soon; we encourage
people to have their pets spayed and neutered to help reduce the number of unwanted animals in shelters, foster homes and far to often, abandoned to try to survive without the human care and compassion that they were born to have. We are very grateful for the exposure and adoptions we are getting from The Pet Of The Week. Thank you very much, Suzanne Hart President/Co-founder Cat Care Spay/Neuter Initiative

News - Batawa - The Trenton Kinsmen Club’s annual fishing tackle show is spreading out to a new venue at the Batawa Community Centre on March 2. “It’s a lot bigger,” said organizer Bill Newbery. “We had 34 tables last year and now we will have 64.” This is the 15th year the Kinsmen have held a fishing tackle show. It was previously held upstairs at the Trenton arena but it was getting too crowded. “We have had people lined up down the stairs right out to the plane,” he said. “Some people were upset. They had to line up, then when they got in it was too crowded.” As well as more space, the Batawa show will have more vendors. “They come from all over,” Bill says. “Ottawa, Toronto, Os-
hawa, up near Bancroft, all over the place.” He said they had a fishing and hunting show in Batawa last fall and it attracted some new people. It had firearms and hunting clothing as well as fishing equipment. He is hoping some of the same people will show up at the spring show and come back again in the fall. “We are hoping to have our spring and fall shows both in Batawa,” he said. “It works out well.” The fall show is held the weekend of September 20. Also new this year is the barbecue put on by Mathew Weller which includes pulled pork, sausages, breakfast and salads. “He’s good,” Bill says. “He sold out at the fall show.” Bill notes this allows members of the Kinsmen Club, men and women, to focus on the show, not the cooking.
“Somebody else runs it so we aren’t tied up,” he said. The club has 16 members and all the proceeds go to helping the community, such as the Christmas Toy Drive. Brian Barnes is the president. “We all work together,” he says. “We’re really excited about the fishing equipment show. We’ve had people calling about it. A lot of the vendors are coming back. They’re happy.” Bill has been doing the show for the past seven years and says he loves doing it. He goes to other shows and lets people know about this one. “I hope the word gets out,” he says. “It keeps growing every year.” The show runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on March 2. Call Bill at 613-394-4234 for more information. There is also a link on Facebook for the Kinsmen Club Trenton.

Connected to your community OPINION Ukraine after the revolution Editorial – From a Ukrainian point of view, the priority is not to throw their revolution away again like they did after the Orange Revolution ten years ago. But from everybody else’s point of view, the priority now is to avoid an irreparable breach between Russia and the West. One Cold War was enough. The Yanukovych era is finished; the former president will not make another come-back. He has killed too many Gwynne Dyer people, and the vulgar ostentation of his former palace (whose architect understandably chose to remain anonymous) has shocked Ukrainians even though they already knew he was deeply corrupt. Besides, Russia will not bet on this horse again. On the other hand, the various opposition leaders will have great difficulty in deciding who leads their coalition, if indeed they can even agree on a coalition before the promised election on May 25. But they’ll still win the election, because Yanukovych never allowed any plausible rivals to emerge in his pro-Russian Party of the Regions, and Russia will not be able to find and groom a suitable replacement in time. This will frustrate people in the Russian-speaking east and south of the country, who did not take part in this revolution and do not share the desire of the Ukrainian-speaking half for closer ties with the European Union. They worry that free trade with the EU will threaten their jobs, and it will require much tact to reassure them that their interests will be protected. But they will not split the country: very few Ukrainians want to be part of Russia. Who will emerge as Ukraine’s next leader? Yulia Tymoshenko, newly released from prison, is the obvious choice, and that would certainly ease matters on the Russian front. She got along reasonably well with Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, when she was prime minister last time. But many Ukrainians who backed the revolution don’t trust her. Tymoshenko is dogged by questions about how she got so rich after the Soviet Union collapsed, and she bears some of the blame for the chronic in-fighting that discredited Ukraine’s first attempt at running a democratic government after the Orange Revolution of 2004. None of the other potential candidates, however, is acceptable to Putin.
The best that can be hoped for in the short run, therefore, is a cold peace between Kiev and Moscow, which means that the $15 billion Putin promised to lend Yanukovych’s regime will not now be forthcoming. But the money has to come from somewhere, and the only alternative is the West, probably in the shape of the International Monetary Fund. It is not clear if the United States and the EU are willing to come up with that kind of money. If not, then the upheavals in Ukraine will resume in fairly short order. And in either case Putin will work to sabotage the attempt to entrench a strong democratic system with effective anti-corruption laws in Ukraine. President Barack Obama can tell Putin that Ukraine is not a square on a Cold War chessboard, but the Russian president does see it as a zero-sum game, and in terms of his own purposes he is right. His pet project to restore the Soviet Union in a non-Communist version by creating a “Eurasian Union”, for example, dwindles to nothing but Russia and a bunch of Central Asian dictatorships if Ukraine isn’t a part of it. More importantly, Putin does not want to have a large, prosperous and democratic country with strong EU ties on Russia’s own border. Especially if it is another Slavic country that also used to be part of the Soviet Union, and it got its democracy as the result of a largely non-violent revolution carried out in the main square of the capital city. The example would be very dangerous to his regime. There’s no risk of that sort of thing happening on Red Square in Moscow at the moment, but Putin thinks long term. Russia will therefore continue to meddle in Ukraine in an attempt to abort such a dangerous outcome. Confronting Moscow directly over this sort of thing would be a mistake, and could lead us all down the path that ends in a new Cold War. Russians, for historical reasons, do not see themselves as “outsiders” in Ukraine (although most Ukrainians do), and they will react very badly to attempts to exclude them entirely. The better and safer path is to support the Ukrainians with trade and aid, but leave it to them to deal with Russian interference in their politics. They are perfectly capable of doing this for themselves, and they can also prosper without joining either the European Union or NATO. But they do need a whopping great loan, right now.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Let’s dismantle the whole thing Dear Editor Sorry being a bit late in this response, but I would like comment on Wyley Canuck’s recent letter on the subject of the so-called smart meters. I believe it is essential to recall who started us down this perilous path of high electrical rates. I would like to point out that it was an individual I prefer to call “Mad Maniac Mike Harris”, that got us started down the road when he tried to privatize our electrical system. It was he who divided Ontario Hydro into Ontario Power Authority and Hydro One, separating generation from supply. It was he who decided what the salary range was to be for the management staff at OPA, also their benefit package and worst of all their severance package! We all recall that they had to fire one of these managers because she sent her children to school in a government owned limo! Obviously the managers at Hydro One got similar cozy deals. He also set up the Independent Electrical Operator, who was to set the daily rate for electricity. While this organization is now obsolete, it is still operating. At the same time, the four evil sisters of future power production, namely nuclear, natural gas, wind and solar produc-
ers made up the lie that coal-fired plants could not be made pollution free. However even Dwight Duncan, when he was finance minister, had to admit that indeed coal-fired plants could be made pollution-free, but the cost was prohibitive! The fact is that even if all the coal-fired plants in Ontario shut down, we will still be getting most of our smog from the coalfired plants in the U.S. A similar lie was concocted that plants that incinerate garbage will all cause large amounts of pollution. The Swedes have proved that one to be totally false and have in fact turned a very polluted area into one of the greenest by incinerating their garbage, producing a great amount of electrical power at a much lower cost and providing large amounts of heat for surrounding industrial plants. Our problem is the fact that dozy dopey Dalton, instead of reversing the process started by Mad Mike, has made them even worse with the Green Energy Plan. So I guess we will all have to vote for a political party that promises to dismantle the whole ugly set up. John A.D.McLean, Belleville
To sleep or not to sleep By Terry Bush Editorial – Some days I wish I was a dentist. Pulling teeth can’t be as difficult as trying to write a column when your mind is blank. The thing is, for some reason I just haven’t been able to string a few sentences together lately and I can’t quite figure out the reason why. Maybe it’s because I’m getting older and sleeping less. I’ve often been told that the older you are, the less sleep you require. Obviously, this was said by someone who has no trouble sleeping. I’m really starting to hate those people. Not my wife, of course, who is as adept as anyone when it comes to closing her eyes and working up a little moisture on the pillow in a few minutes’ time. I’m just baffled by folks who can close their eyes and instantly fall asleep. My mother-in-law can announce, “Now, we have a nap” in her heavily accented English and true to her word within two minutes she’s sitting there in her armchair with her mouth wide open, sawing a couple of logs. A less than perfect son-in-law would probably wake her up to help her out with her English and correct her use of pronouns. Marian’s mother, you said “Now we have a nap.” You should be using the first person singular “I” instead of “we” because you’re the only one snoring in the living room right now. As I’ve said before, after close to 30 years of Mare’s mother calling the house and announcing, “Hallo, this is Marian’s mother,” who am I to argue if that’s what she wants me to call her. I call her Marian’s mother and she calls me Marian’s hoosbund. I actually think it’s very nice of her to make an effort not to confuse me on the phone. I never have to worry which 91-year-old Dutch lady I’m speaking with when I pick up thanks to her impeccable telephone etiquette. Now if I could just get those other nonagenarians to say who they are before I make a fool of myself... Anyway, I can’t remember the last time I had seven solid hours of sleep. It’s gotten so bad over the past couple of years that I’ve had to resort to sleeping pills, not that they work either. Now there was a time that a shot of brandy before bed was thought to help but since my recent illness, I’ve stopped drinking completely. Not that I’ve ever been one to go through more than two cases of beer a year but I do remember a few times I’ve had a few and hit the sack only to be rudely awakened by my brain at 3 a.m. Funny how booze works. Never a problem getting to sleep but always a problem staying asleep when you have a snoot full. There’s just something about 3 a.m. that’s always haunted me and through my constant complaining at work about waking up at this ungodly hour, I’ve learned that many people are roaming their homes at the very same time. In my teenage years and early twenties, 3 a.m. was when I went to bed but back then, sleeping in to noon was also an option. So why do a large portion of our office staff wake up at that same hour and why do we all say we should call each other up in the middle of the night, but never do? It’s not like we really have to worry about our spouses. They’d just wake up and fall right back to sleep. I’d prefer gabbing with others in the wee hours of the morning to solving the world’s problems all by myself. Considering what a long cold winter we’ve had with everyone holed up inside, the problems facing mankind must be almost completely out of control. I haven’t seen my usual world problem solving buddy Elmer down the road for close to half a year, at least since the snow started to fly. The closest I’ve come to a visit is seeing his smouldering burn barrel once or twice. No wonder things are getting out of control in Ukraine. There certainly weren’t any world problems for at least a week after our last gabfest back in the summer. Anyway, back to starting a 3 a.m. club to solve the world’s problems while most people are sleeping. How about tonight we all concentrate on one thing when we wake up. By using a form of group think, maybe we can convince our sleeping neighbours that Ontario’s “no driving while using a cell phone” laws actually do apply to them as well as the rest of us. I pass at least three people each and every day, gabbing away or texting behind the wheel, oblivious to the rest of the motoring public. All together now, please don’t text and drive, please don’t talk and drive, please pull over…ah, screw it. Just put down your darn phones or we’ll get your license number and call the cops.

Integrity commissioner finds mayor contravened Code of Conduct

could have been filed and investigated under the Workplace Violence and Harassment Prevention Policy adopted by council under the Occupational Health and Safety Act.” “It is not unusual for differences to arise between groups of councillors,” he added. “What is unusual, and inappropriate as the Code of Conduct reflects, is for that disagreement to transform itself into attacks on staff when efforts to achieve results through votes in council fail.”
The first complaint was filed by council as a result of a motion filed by Tadman on February 1, 2013 regarding a pattern of behaviour on the part of Walas and Martinello designed to discredit municipal Chief Administrative Officer Gayle Frost. The objective: dismissal or encourage her to resign, despite receiving satisfactory performance appraisals by council. The investigation was delayed until June 2013 to allow time for a formal employment contract to be negotiated between the municipality and Frost. Interviews were

scheduled in July and replies were received from everyone but Tadman. “Subsequent to that group of interviews, attempts to meet with Councillor Tadman were unsuccessful,” said Bellchamber. “And she informed us, through her legal firm, that she would be unavailable until February 2014. To us, that seemed to be a lack of interest in participating and it would be unreasonable to defer the investigation. Given the consistency of information coming forward from others, and the fact that Councillor Tadman supported the original request, we determined that an interview would not add significantly to the investigation.” The next step was to schedule interviews with Walas and Martinello, who both requested having their lawyer present. “Although we offered numerous dates, both were unavailable until the fall of 2013,” said Bellchamber. While it’s not unusual for mayors and CAOs to have differences of opinion, it is unusual for them not to be able to work those differences out he noted. “What is even more unusual is for a mayor to take clear steps toward the dismissal of the CAO without it being a decided matter of council,” he said. “And while this investigation was underway, it became clear that was exactly what the mayor had done. He contended he needed legal advice in order to provide leadership to council on this matter, but he went far beyond that and directed (municipal) solicitors to prepare a detailed termination agreement while giving the impression that council direction had been given.
“Even if four members, being a majority of council, agree on a matter, it has no force in law unless it is expressed by resolution duly considered and adopted at an open public meeting.” That action, he explained, inspired the title of the report: ‘The powers of a municipality shall be exercised by its council.’ “Not by mayors, not by individual councillors, not by groups of councillors,” he added. The second complaint named Walas and Tadman in their repeated criticism of staff in response to incorrect wording in a proposed bylaw and the related explanation. The third complaint, filed jointly by four senior members of municipal staff, was added to the file on December 20, 2013; about two weeks after the first draft of the 2014 budget had been tabled in the manner directed by council. The group contended they were following instructions received at an October council meeting to include all outside requests, projected operating costs and capital requirements. “Although the complaint referenced the behaviour of Mayor Walas and Councillors Tadman and Martinello, the evidence submitted directly concerned Mayor Walas,” said Bellchamber. “There is no evidence to indicate the ensuing discussion (at the budget meeting) was anything but congenial and educational, however, five days later, Mayor Walas gave what appeared to be a prepared statement on a local radio station, critical of the budget process, and more importantly, calling into question the professionalism of staff.”
A trip to the dentist should be a positive experience for children. Parents can begin by explaining to their child that dentists are helpers and their job is to keep patients of all ages, strong and healthy. If you are a new parent or your family has recently relocated to the Trenton/ Quinte West and Belleville area, consider Dr. Brett's Family Dentistry. He and his staff believe that a doctor and patient work as a team for treating and maintaining an individual's oralhealth needs. Child-friendly offices typically offer an environment designed to make children comfortable. A fun environment makes the dentist's office a treat for children to visit. At Dr. Brett’s, children are allowed to watch movies of their choice during their appointments and are offered a selection from the toy box afterwards to reward positive behaviour. Here, they offer more tips for parents: • Take your child to the office for a visit before the appointment. This is especially important before their first visit. Point the office out when you drive by and say, "Oh, look! There's Dr. Brett's office. Remember how nice he is?" • Read books that feature characters going to the dentist in the weeks before

8 Brighton Independent - Thursday, February 27, 2014
Walas called the first draft budget document “a blatant disregard for ratepayers and council,” adding, “it was a waste of staff time and of my time.” “With respect to each of the three complaints, we have concluded that Mayor Walas intentionally contravened the council Code of Conduct,” said Bellchamber, in closing. “Councillor Martinello’s behaviour is also, from time to time, in breach of the Code, although they may be either unintentional or inadvertent, at least from his perspective, due to a focus on some specific policy or service initiative (and) Councillor Tadman was encouraged to breach the Code with respect to the second complaint.” Bellchamber encouraged Martinello to discuss with the integrity commissioner how he might take steps to alter his behaviour and advised Tadman to be more cautious in the future.
“If the breaches of the Code continue, competent staff will leave Brighton’s employ and it will be even more difficult to recruit qualified replacements in what is a very competitive labour market for skilled municipal staff. Ultimately, the citizens of Brighton will suffer the consequences,” cautioned Bellchamber. “It’s not just a problem that exists within the town hall; it’s a problem that affects the entire community.” According to the provincial Municipal Act, the maximum penalty for a member of council who has contravened the Code of Conduct is a reprimand or the loss of up to 90 days pay. “It’s a pretty sad day for our community,” concluded Councillor Tom Rittwage, after hearing the report. Council approved forwarding the report to their regular meeting on March 3 for more discussion.
Hockey team in negotiations with Cramahe to play home games at Keeler Centre By John Campbell
Sports – Colborne – Cramahe Township is close to landing an unidentified hockey club that plays in a 20-team league that wants to make the Keeler Centre its new home. Council and staff members declined to name the team or the league at a special meeting held Feb. 19 to enter into a long-term rental agreement with the franchise on the recommendation of director of operations Dan O’Brien. O’Brien told council he was “purposely vague” in his staff report about the team because it didn’t wish to be named until an agreement was in place. Its identity will be revealed at council’s March 4 meeting after the deal has been signed. “They have existing contracts with ice time where they are now,” Mayor Marc Coombs said. The league is based in Ontario but its players come from “a number of countries” and its games are broadcast around the world on the Internet, O’Brien said. (The few details provided fit the description of the Greater Metro Junior A Hockey League, which has teams in Toronto and one in Quebec, but is made up mostly of franchises playing out of small towns across the province.) O’Brien estimated the agreement could generate annual net revenues of $20,000 in ice rentals, an additional $5,000 as a percentage of advertising sold, and another $4,000 in canteen sales. Those estimates are “very, very conservative,” he said. The contract’s significance is “huge” for the Keeler Centre’s coffers, Coombs said. The facility’s income from ice rentals currently ranges between $35,000 and $40,000 a year. The new source of revenue “is going to help offset the fact that minor hockey’s hours have gone down every year for a long time.” The team will play 21 home games and practise three times a week during the regular season, which runs about 26 weeks. “We don’t see a need to have significant reduction in our present rates (of $141.40 per hour for prime time) although I’m sure they will be looking at some minor reduction to accommodate this long-term commitment,” O’Brien said.
There shouldn’t be “a major impact” on the scheduling of minor hockey games, he said. Manager of parks and recreation Keeley Biron said it could affect two local teams that currently rent ice “but there is room to move them around within our weekly schedule.” One of those teams, the senior ladies, is coached by Councillor Ed Van Egmond who said he’s agreeable to having its games switched to another time. Van Egmond admitted to having one worry, however, based on past experience. “If they go belly up or go somewhere else, they leave us with a bill,” he said, alluding to when Colborne had a team in the Empire B Junior C Hockey League for a handful of years. “As long we don’t get burned in the end and there is some safeguard ... I’m okay with it.” “They made a commitment to pay us in advance,” O’Brien said. “That will be part of their contract ... so we don’t have that similar problem that happened here in the past.” He said he had done “some research on their past practices and they’re solid in that regard.” Councillor Pat Westrope said “it’s a wonderful opportunity to bring people from outside the area into the community (but) we really need to make sure we have some surety in place so that taxpayers don’t get left with a bill.” Having a team based in Colborne could open the door to auditions for spots on its roster by area players, Van Egmond said. “There would be the opportunity.” O’Brien said the team would also be looking for local billets for its players. It initiated discussions about relocating through the mayor’s office a month ago and the ensuing negotiations with staff have been “very positive,” he said. “We’re very, very pleased about it.” “They were looking for a small town that would support them, and where they would be the main attraction,” Coombs said. Being close to the 401 for ease of access was also important, and “they loved” the 14-year-old Keeler Centre. Council agreed to a four-year contract, at O’Brien’s suggestion.
Brighton faces tax challenge By Ray Yurkowski
News – Brighton – The bottom line, after Committee of the Whole second draft municipal budget deliberations on January 22, was ratepayers were looking at a 3.25 per cent municipal tax increase in 2014. But the blended rate, with education and county rates added in is an overall 1.64 per cent. “If your property was assessed at $250,000 in 2013, and it increased by the average of 1.51 per cent, the increase would be $49.53 for the year,” municipal finance director Linda Widdifield told those attending a public consultation meeting last week. It hasn’t been easy keeping the tax increase down to one of the lowest in Northumberland County. “The $324,964 pressures this council has faced in this budget process is equivalent to a 3.23 per cent tax increase,” said Widdifield. “And, of that, 2.19 per cent is beyond our control.” Along with a $121,100 decrease in the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund and losing more than $7,200 in payments in lieu of taxes for federal and provincial properties, external budgets are taking their toll. Increases include the Chamber of Commerce ($19,185); public library ($18,300); the new five-year agreement with the YMCA ($11,500); and others such as Lower Trent Conservation Authority, Quinte Access, Pine Ridge Municipal Planning Agency and cemeteries ($11,325). As well, the Ontario Provincial Police contract is up more than $24,000 over last year. “The OPP increase would have been substantially higher if council had not agreed to use some of the public safety reserve fund to reduce the impact,” said Widdifield. Where does the money go? “Less than 30 per cent of the taxes collected here, stay here to pay for our local services,” explained Widdifield. On an average tax bill of $3,058; education, the county, police, the conservation authority and external agencies take a 70.2 per cent bite; leaving $911 to provide things like roads and winter control, fire and protective services, health services, parks and recreation, libraries, and cemeteries. Budget highlights include projects in long-term planning (Storm Water Master Plan, Development Charges Study and final approval of the Official Plan); parks and recreation (a new Zamboni
for the arena, a picnic shelter and trails at the south end of Ontario Street and a new BMX park at the Codrington Community Centre); economic development (downtown revitalization, municipal branding, launching the industrial park expansion and a collaborative marketing campaign); and road improvements at Terry Fox Drive, Little Lake Road, Bayshore Road and Whites Road along with the completion of Centre Street. As well, the fire department will be shifting in focus from protection to prevention. “We would rather prevent fires than fight fires,” municipal Chief Administrative Office Gayle Frost told the crowd. “We’ll be putting a lot more focus on prevention, education, sprinkler systems and training. It will be an initial cost this year but, in the long term, it will be a cost saving.” “One of the things we’ve been dealing with for a number of years, and it’s not uncommon in the municipal sector, is the shift from investing in capital to investing in operating,” said Frost. “Capital spending is actually going backward. The trend is to cut back to keep the tax rate down.” An Asset Management Plan, approved by council in December, underscored that with the news that 58 per cent of the municipal fleet has met or exceeded its estimated service life. “We know our infrastructure and equipment is aging,” said Frost. “The last thing we want, if we have another major snow event like we had this year, is for our trucks to be in the garage rather than on the road.” The plan advised spending more than $5 million per year over the next five years on assets, including water, sanitary, storm, roads, bridges, sidewalks, lights, facilities and associated equipment and vehicles. In 2014, that investment is $3.2 million. “We aren’t meeting the needs,” said Frost. “But we are working on a longterm plan for council to ensure our equipment is up and running. We have a lot of assets and we have to look after them.” Two residents told the committee more money should be spent on infrastructure. One even suggested a higher tax rate. “In past years, Brighton has prided itself in a low tax rate,” David Green told the committee. “Some would say that approach is beginning to show.
“The provincial government paid for the (asset management) study because they knew municipalities were missing the boat and being shortsighted in their approach to taxes. This council approved and accepted that report but, like many other studies and plans, it’s fallen to the wayside.” Green surveyed 78 Brighton residents and asked them if they would be willing
to up the ante to pay for capital infrastructure. Overwhelmingly, the response was positive. One respondent replied, “If this isn’t done, we will be facing large increases down the road and/or witness Brighton falling into great disrepair and lose its ability to attract newcomers. Yes, I would be willing to pay.” Another wrote, “Brighton has a reputation for having the lowest taxes around.
You get what you pay for.” “Everything ages and we need a financial plan to address that,” concluded Green. “The residents are here for the long haul.” Committee of the Whole approved taking another look at the numbers, at a meeting scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on March 5 at council chambers (35 Alice Street).
Winter can be worrisome. Treacherous winter roads can make it difficult to visit your aging parents. A move to Seasons means a vibrant, carefree retirement for them and peace of mind for you.

Quinte Ballet School welcomes Quinte Irish Canadian Society Lifestyles – Belleville – After four years of offering traditional Irish dance instruction at The Engineer’s Hall in Belleville, The Quinte Irish Canadian Society outgrew this facility and has brought classes to The Quinte Ballet School of Canada’s multipurpose facility on Palmer Road. Martin Smit, parent coordinator for QICS dance says, “The Quinte Ballet School is a beautiful facility. Our dancers and teachers are thoroughly enjoying the professional and spacious dance studio that perfectly suits their needs. The Quinte Ballet School is such a positive, welcoming environment.” Marilyn Lawrie, Executive Director for QBSC added, “We are delighted to welcome the dance division of the Quinte Irish Canadian Society to our facility. Apart from some additional rental income, to have various styles of Irish dance offered right down the hall from our ballet, jazz and tap classes, is really very special. Our students look through the door observing their classes – it’s like Riverdance. And some of the Irish dancers want to see the ballerinas. This new relationship is value-added for both organizations.” Thursdays are now the busiest night at the 196 Palmer Rd. facility, with seven QBSC classes and three QICS classes running, filling every studio. The Quinte Irish Canadian Society offers hard shoe and soft shoe solo and figure dances in a supportive and fun environment in conjunc-
tion with The Kelly School of Irish Dance. Led by Orla Kelly (T.C.R.G., A.D.C.R.G.), a certified Irish dance teacher, who has taught in Belleville and Mississauga since 2002, classes are offered for all skill levels - from first-time dancers to advanced senior dancers. Orla received her Adjudicator Certification in 2006 and is fully accredited to teach and judge competitive Irish dancing. Orla’s classes (for all levels except for beginners) run alternate Sundays. Thursday evening classes are taught by Caitlin Callaghan (BED, HBA), an associate teacher for the Belleville branch of The Kelly School of Irish Dance. Kaitlin is currently pursuing her T.C.R.G. certification. Founded in 1979, the Quinte Irish Canadian Society promotes interest in and encourages all people to celebrate Irish culture. The goals of the society include preserving and transmitting Irish music, song and dance though lectures, concerts, socials, plays, and classes. The society also serves the community by sponsoring activities emphasizing education, friendship and by supporting the efforts of other local groups. For more information about The Quinte Irish Canadian Society and Irish dance classes, contact Smit at martin.smit@ontario.ca or 613-9624910.

From left to right Mackenzie Graham, Taylor Navi and Ian Molenhuis, East Northumberland Secondary School (ENSS) students selected to participate in the Rotary International Youth Exchange Program for the 2014-2015 school year. Welcome to the Rotary Club of Brighton. During the month of January our guest speakers included Michael Koerber, P. Eng with Golder Associates and Brighton resident who gave us his insights and expertise in hydraulic fracking, an engineering technique for gas and oil extraction. He also spoke about the Marcellus Formation, the geological area that expands from West Virginia in the U.S., continues under Lake Ontario and goes as far as Ottawa. We had three ENSS Interact students who introduced us to their project on “Taming the Dragon” which is a project that aims to introduce youth volunteering within the community and which will be held in Brighton and Colborne in the summer months. We also had Jennifer Bishop with the Children’s Aid Society (CAS), who gave us a
presentation on the importance of foster homes and foster parents in local communities. Brighton Rotary is celebrating its 25th anniversary in the month of June this year and a committee is already in place for developing specific activities within the community. More information will follow in the upcoming months. In January, Brighton Rotary issued a cheque for $25,000 to the Municipality of Brighton as part of the contribution to the cost of a new pergola and flower gardens that will enhance Prince Edward Park. Every year, ENSS students in grades 10 and 11 are offered an amazing opportunity to travel abroad in an international exchange program; the high number of applications we received this year demonstrates the popularity of this program among students. In 2014,
three ENSS students will have the opportunity of participating in the Rotary Youth Exchange Program. Mackenzie Graham (sponsored by Brighton Rotary) will travel to Japan, Taylor Navi (Colborne Rotary) will go to Sweden and Ian Molenhuis (Campellford Rotary) will be in Argentina for the 20142015 school year. They are all excited and looking forward to learning a new language and living and learning in a different culture. Congratulations to all of them --we wish them the best! Interested in joining Rotary? Are you the missing piece? Please contact President Clay Samis at 613-475-5900 or visit our website at www.brightonrotary.ca

Power rights dispute settled for $1.3 million News – Trent Hills – Parks Canada has agreed to pay the municipality $1.3 million to end a longstanding dispute over power rights. The money, combined with $182,600 the agency paid in 2005, pays in full the amount Trent Hills was owed as a result of an agreement that grants it an annual payment equivalent to 2.3 million kilowatts (350 horsepower) in perpetuity. “It has been a long journey,” Mayor Hector Macmillan told council last week. “Every once in
a while there’s something worthwhile standing up for and standing your ground on.” The arrangement dates back to 1914 when the federal government, in order to build the canal through Campbellford, agreed to compensate a woollen mill for the removal of a dam that was a source of water power. That right to receive a small amount of electricity at no charge forever was acquired by the town of Campbellford when it purchased the mill in 1978 and remained in effect after Campbellford became

part of Trent Hills following amalgamation. The federal government initially resisted continuing with the payments but Campbellford obtained a Federal Court ruling in its favour in 1981. However, Parks Canada stopped providing compensation in 2002, apart from making the one interim payment. When repeated pleas to live up to the agreement failed to move the federal government, council threatened to take the matter back to court again, which re-opened talks in earnest over the past year to settle the dispute.
30 YEAR
“In the end that’s what forced a resolution,” CAO Mike Rutter said. That resolution arrived in council’s agenda Feb. 18 in the form of an agreement “for the Transfer of Goods/Services” between the municipality and Parks Canada. CAO Mike Rutter explained in a report to council that the new agreement “provides a payment mechanism for Parks Canada to flow funds to the municipality that has not existed since the de-regulation of Ontario Hydro.” (Parks Canada had made a separate agreement with Ontario Hydro to reimburse
Trent Hills for the bloc of electricity used at the town’s fire hall, water treatment plant and former community resource centre as well as street lights at 66 Front St. S.) Rutter said Park Canada’s legal counsel has “given assurances” the payment mechanism now in place “will ensure regular and timely payment of the invoices created to collect these funds” so they “won’t fall into default any more.” The original 1914 agreement remains the central document and “still is in place,” he said.

“What this does is gives the bureaucrats in Ottawa a way to actually write us a cheque which they’ve never had before,” because the 1981 agreement had the funding coming from Ontario Hydro through the local public utilities commission “and not directly to us. This addresses that problem.” It also gives the municipality “a mechanism to enforce” its power rights, Macmillan said. Rutter said “the potential still exists” for the federal government to negotiate “a way out of this agreement.” Parks Canada expressed interest last summer in a onetime lump sum payment of $9 million to secure a “full and final release ... of its current and future obligations to the municipality.” Council will take its time to determine what to do with the $1.3 million. It accepted Rutter’s recommendation that the settlement funds be put in the municipality’s working reserve fund and that a staff report be prepared as to the allocation of future payments. “The needs are many and I don’t think we should be in any big hurry (to decide),” Macmillan said, noting Trent Hills has been operating without the funds for a lot longer than the 11 years approximately that he’s worked on the file since being elected mayor. “We’ll park that for now and think about that.”

News – Campbellford - Northumberland Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) arrested a male on Saturday, Feb. 22, for weapons offences and uttering threats earlier in the day in Campbellford. A male was reported to be walking on foot in the Burnbrae Road and Centre Street area in Campbellford carrying a six-inch knife after making threats towards friends and family of a female known to him.

FOCUS
FARMING
Safety essential when visiting a farm
The nursery rhyme does not state, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Old MacDonald had a farm and on this farm there was a bunch of dangerous things.â&#x20AC;? But maybe it should? Farmers perform an essential service, providing food and other products that consumers commonly take for granted. The inner workings of a farm are something to treat with respect. Most of the families who live and work on a farm understand the potential hazards of such an environment. However, individuals visiting a farm may be unaware of these dangers. Understanding farm safety helps keep everyone safe. According to the organization Kids Health, the age groups at greatest risk for injury on farms are children ages 3 to 4 and teenagers ages 13 to 14. Most injuries can be prevented, though, with a little education and precautionary measures.

He said this year itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been â&#x20AC;&#x153;a challengeâ&#x20AC;? for the municipality, â&#x20AC;&#x153;with limited resources and staff and budget, to keep up.â&#x20AC;? CAO Mike Rutter said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not effective to remove snow during the day so it has to happen at night, which makes it â&#x20AC;&#x153;much more challengingâ&#x20AC;? because of the difďŹ culty in scheduling. The municipality must also follow regulations governing the number of hours employees can work within a certain period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the staff have done an incredible job this year,â&#x20AC;? Councillor Meirion Jones said.

Just two months into 2014, Trent Hills has already spent 59 per cent of the $145,000 it allocated for salt for the entire year, and 49 per cent of the $63,000 it earmarked for sand. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with winter likely to stick around for a few more weeks, and due to return before the end of the year. Heading into last weekend, public works staff had been out plowing and sanding/salting 22 days in January and 12 more in February, manager of roads and urban services Neil Allanson said, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;not counting the days for snow clearing and snow removal.â&#x20AC;? With so much snow having fallen this winter, crews have worked roughly 1,518 hours of overtime on winter maintenance. The municipality has 21 plow routes covering 1,067 kilometres of roads and another 54 kilometres of sidewalk to keep clear. It also plows and sands more than 12 kilometres of connecting links

Police raise awareness of elder abuse
News – Belleville – Senior citizens can often be the most vulnerable members of a community and in Canada it’s estimated that 10 per cent of older Canadians will experience some form of elder abuse in their lifetime. “We want to spread education and awareness that elder abuse is an ongoing issue, and we’re trying to raise awareness in our community,” said Bellevlle Police Service detective constable Ann Earie Dempsey. “It can be financial, physical, psychological - it’s not what’s most common, but what’s most reported, because there’s a lot that doesn’t go reported.” Dempsey spoke over the weekend at the first Belleville Elder Abuse Education Conference at the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre, organized
by the Quinte Co-ordinating Committee Against Violence. Roughly 60 people from the public and from various area service agencies gathered to discuss the ongoing issue of elder abuse, where they learned that up to 80 per cent of all elder abuse cases go unreported. With Canada’s rapidly aging population it’s a crime and a trend that’s likely to continue happening. “Regionally, we have the highest proportion of seniors in Ontario ... the rates (of elder abuse) here are likely higher than elsewhere,” said Carla VanderVoort, social worker and member of the organizing committee. CARP (formerly the Canadian Association of Retired Persons) says that the rate of family violence against seniors has risen 14 per cent since 2004, and of the 7,900 violent crime cases against

seniors reported from 2009 to 2011 the perpetrators were likely to be a friend or family member. Financial abuse is the most common form of abuse, however, and Anya-Deane Best of O’Flynn Weese Barristers and Solicitors said more than half of her litigation practice is power of attorney disputes. “You have kids that are maybe struggling financially, maybe they’ve had a divorce or they have creditors after them, and they’re borrowing money here and there from mom, but things continue to get worse,” she said. “They think ‘well she won’t mind if I take some more,’ and it just keeps rolling. Nobody really notices until usually the parent passes away and the other siblings are left wondering where all of their mom’s money has gone.” The issue with many cases of elder abuse is that it goes entirely unreported. CARP says that 30 per cent of its members know of someone who is be-
ing or has been abused, but the reasons the crimes are unreported varies. Sometimes the victims are mentally or cognitively impaired, making communication difficult if not impossible. Sometimes the victim depends on the abuser as a caregiver, and the victim may fear further violence or retaliation should they attempt to report a crime. “Don’t stick your head in the sand... report what you see,” Dempsey said. “It only takes one person to start the ball rolling, and if you’re that one person you might have made a difference.” Common self-protective measures against elder abuse include never divulging personal information to strangers or over the phone; gaining knowledge about investment risk tolerance and investment practices; seeking third party advice when dealing with financial matters with family members; and performing due diligence when hiring caregivers and advisors.

Jesus Christ Superstar production has links to ENSS There are two other actors and three musicians with ties to ENSS, too. Jack Boyagian, Artistic Director of the Players, plays Judas and is presently teaching at ENSS in his 26th year. He has directed over two dozen plays at
local musicians hear Tonkin is conducting, they jump at the opportunity to get involved. Don Dawson is one of these musicians who loves to play for Tonkin. “He knows what he is doing and he is a lot of fun,” says Dawson , a master of the trombone. Dawson learned his skills at Napean High School. “ Music was a great part of my youth. I have fond memories playing in the Ottawa Rough Riders Football Band,” says Mr. Dawson. Fate brought him to ENSS where he taught history. He eventually became Vice Principal of Clarke H.S. and finished his career at ENSS where he was principal from 1987 to 1995. Dawson was a huge supporter of the Arts at ENSS and he even played in the orchestra for Guys and Dolls . The arts program flourished on his watch. He is in the Concert Band of Cobourg, has played in King Street Brass and Swing Street in Whitby. Mr. Dawson said he has played in so many Northumberland Players and V.O.S. musicals that he has lost count. He exemplifies playing music, “for the love of it.” Cobourg is richer because of Dawson and musicians like him. Amber McKay, who has been in many comedies and musicals for the Players, plays Annas in Superstar. She developed a love of theatre at ENSS in 1989. She was
in Fiddler on the Roof and South Pacific directed by now retired Sharon Caswell who ran the drama program at the time. Caswell passed the torch on to Paul Hussey who was Tevye in Fiddler . Ms. McKay says she caught the acting bug in Brighton. Alex Prue, another ENSS grad and a Disciple in Jesus Christ Superstar, has great memories of ENSS productions such as RazzmaJazz, Beauty and the Beast, Seussical the Musical and Les Belles Soeurs. “Music and drama made high school an amazing experience for me,” says Prue, who was taught by Paul Hussey, Boyagian and Tonkin from 2006 to 2010. Finally, Jenny Smit who is one of the new music teachers at ENSS, replacing Tonkin, plays keyboard in the orchestra. She along with
Mrs. Tonkin teach music to a new generation of musicians at ENSS and so the passion continues. Northumberland County is the real winner. Young people in the local high schools develop skills and foster a love that is shared for generations. “It is so critical that the community supports arts programs in education. Cobourg would be a not so feel good town without community theatre, musicians, artists, poets and performers of various art forms,” says Mr. Boyagian who was attracted to Cobourg 13 years ago because of its rich arts culture. Jesus Christ Superstar, directed by Shannon Oliver, opened Feb. 21 at the Cameco Capitol Arts Centre in Port Hope. The show continues until March 2. For tickets phone 905 885-1071.
Cavity Free or Life? F
candies, pop, and even in juice and fruits.
Dr. Brian Ho Last time we discussed how bacteria acted as one of the three keys to tooth decay. This time, we’ll talk about the second key – sugar. Key Number Two – Sugar. In our previous article, we described two types of bacteria found in the mouth. The first group is good bacteria because it doesn’t have any harmful effects in the oral cavity. The second group is cavity-causing bacteria. These bacteria use sugar to supply their energy to survive. It is actually a very simple process. The sugar is taken up by the cavitycausing bacteria to create energy. The by-product of this process, or waste, is called lactic acid.
Every time you consume food containing sugar, you are feeding not only yourself but also the bacteria. At some point, the lactic acid creates a defect in the tooth that gets deeper and deeper. Eventually, you will no longer be able to clean it with brushing or flossing because the defect becomes a hole in your tooth! This is called tooth decay or a cavity. In the beginning, tooth decay is not painful. It is like diabetes, the effects from the disease remain very silent for the most part. Gradually, the hole gets bigger and bigger until finally the bacteria reach the nerve of the tooth. That is when people experience the “Ouch!” of a toothache. That is when dentists get the “emergency call.”
So theoretically, even if you have tons of bacteria in your mouth, as long as you do not eat any sugar, you will never have a cavity. However, I have yet to meet a person Now this is how the whole who does not consume sugar or sugar-containing foods at story unfolds. all. So what can we do? When you eat sugar, and you do not clean it out right We can do things to lower away, you are feeding the our daily sugar consumption. cavity-causing bacteria who Here they are: thrive on sugar. 1. Reduce intake of regular When they eat sugar, they pop, juice and fruit-flavoured shed lactic acid from their drinks bodies. Our beloved teeth are made out of calcium which can easily be dissolved in acid. So this lactic acid goes to the tooth surface and dissolves a little bit of the tooth surface each time it gets there.

ENSS and for the Players. He directed Lukas Duchaine, who plays Jesus, in a murder mystery seven years ago and watched his powerful performance as the Beast in Beauty in the Beast at ENSS. Duchaine was also the lead in the Players’ production of Hair. “It is the most amazing experience working with Lukas. We had this immediate connection which is so important in these roles. The audience has to believe that Jesus and Judas have a history and Lukas and I do,” says Boyagian. Duchaine is presently attending St. Lawrence College for electrical engineering. He is a musician and an incredibly talented performer. His passion is evident. He was recently the lead in Young Frankenstein in Kingston while rehearsing for Jesus Christ Superstar. Bruce Tonkin is the orchestra conductor for the production of Jesus Christ Superstar. He retired from ENSS last year after he and his friend, Dan Walker, put the music department on the map. They worked their magic and made music fun. Since 1988 thousands of students have learned how to sing and play various instruments because of the passion of Tonkin and Walker. Tonkin is no stranger to conducting. He has been vocal director and been in the pit for 10 ENSS musicals and Front row left to right: Amber McKay, Alex Prue, Lukas Duchaine, Jack Boyagian.

This year, Northumberland Players’ $45,000 production of Jesus Christ Superstar, by Andrew Lloyd Webber, has two lead characters, Jesus and Judas, played by people with an ENSS connection.

Cramahe library needs funding for archive project she said. “It was impossible.” But now the information is being assembled online in an organized fashion so anyone can track down what they’re looking for, she said. Norton said the township will again be asked for assistance, in the form of bridge funding, so that work can continue for another few months “while we continue looking for sponsorships” and make plans for fundraisers – “anything that helps keep that momentum going.” The library and committee began drumming up interest in the project with a special event held recently at the Keeler Centre, where it invited residents to learn more about Cramahe’s history and to contribute to its understanding by having family records, photos or heirlooms digitized. Guest speakers included local author Jane Urquhart and local historian Dan Buchanan. A crucial point made at the meeting was that family histories, and the light Mary Norton, CEO of Cramahe Township Public Library, and Lenna Broatch, chair of Cramahe Heritage Committee, are overseeing the digitization of local historical materials for presentation online.

in the 1920s and 1930s, she said. “They were speaking with the voices of their parents and their grandparents in relation to the area, including Brighton, AlnwickHaldimand, Trent Hills.” The “really personal stories that bring it all to life.” Many fascinating facts and stories can now be easily retrieved, through images and essays that reveal interesting facts about places and people, such as Eliza Padginton, who worked 70 years for the post office and retired at the age of 91 as Canada’s longest-serving postmistress. Norton and the project team have benefitted greatly from the assistance of the
Cramahe Heritage Committee and its chair, Lenna Broatch, who grew up in the township. “We’re a partnership, really,” Norton said, and Broatch has “done phenomenal work with us,” keeping the team focused and setting priorities as to what should appear in the virtual archives that can be accessed at the library website, www. cramahelibrary.ca. Broatch said the heritage committee’s volunteer members were confounded by requests for information because it hadn’t been sorted through and classified. “There was no way (to respond), you’d spend weeks (searching for an answer),”
they shed on a community’s past, “can be wiped out in a couple of generations” if details aren’t preserved and memories recorded, Norton said. “History is vanishing so quickly.” The virtual archive serves as “an inter-generational communication link” that can inspire young people to ask questions of previous
generations. The digital archive project was short-listed by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport for the Minister’s 2013 Ontario Public Library Service Award for Innovation, and although it lost out to Hanover among the six contenders, just being nominated “was a feather in the cap,” Norton said.

News – Colborne – The library’s digital archive project that is putting the history of Cramahe Township at people’s fingertips needs more money for the work to continue. Cramahe Public Library CEO Mary Norton, who set the project in motion back in 2012, says the funding she received from the province’s Cultural Strategic Investment Fund (nearly $25,000) and township council ($6,000) will run out next month. When it does, the library will no longer be able to employ part-time two people whose combined knowledge of museums, technology and photography have been responsible for organizing and posting hundreds of photographs and essays online that provide a fascinating account of Cramahe’s past going back to the 1800s. “We’re looking for around $610 a week to keep the two staff going,” Norton said. The source material – “a very eclectic collection” of pictures, records, letters, cards and artifacts – had filled “lots of boxes” in a back room when Norton became CEO in 2010. Her mission later became to make the information squirreled away available to the public at large and “the best way to access these things is through a digital archive, because you can do it in the comfort of your own home,” over the Internet, she said. Work on the heritage collection began 11 months ago and is far from being finished; “we’ve probably done 60 per cent of it,” Norton said. And people “are starting to bring more stuff to us,” as they become aware of the project, “so in that sense it’s never ending.” Having lived in London, England prior to moving to Canada, Norton “hadn’t a clue” about any of the local history but the material stored at the library “gives you a real feeling for the place. “If you want to understand the history of the area,” pore over the women’s institutes’ scrapbooks put together

A taste of the real world for students By Steve Jessel
News – Belleville – While a recent competition for high school students at Loyalist College may only have lasted a day, college staff say they hope the lessons learned can last a lifetime. “We want to promote excitement and interest in learning,” said Ann Drennan, Loyalist Dean of Applied Sciences, Skills and Technology. “It gets the students through the door to experience the college environment, gives them a chance to work with college faculty and perhaps eases some of their fears of coming to college.” Skills Loyalist is an annual competition at the college that sees high school students from four regional school boards - Hastings and Prince Edward, Algonquin, Limestone, and Kawartha - visit the college for a special one-day competition. Students can participate in one of seven different areas: automotive, two-person carpentry, four-person carpentry, aesthetics, photography, precision machinery, or welding, and spend the day performing various tasks and assignments on which they Bayside Secondary School student Tiffany Floud competes in the precision are later judged. Up for grabs was a $1,000 machinery portion of Skills Loyalist this past week. Photo: Steve Jessel prize for the winning students in each category,

News – Trent Hills – Two proposals to reform the Negligence Act to greatly reduce insurance costs for municipalities has the support of Trent Hills council and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO). Both council and the association welcome the reforms being considered by the Ministry of the Attorney General because the current regime of joint and several liability, in the words of AMO, “makes municipalities and property owners an easy target for litigation.” Under existing law, municipalities are having “to carry the lion’s share of a damage award (even) when at minimal fault or ... assume responsibility for someone else’s mistake,” which is

to remember Loyalist College as a fun place to learn.” Trenton High School teacher Corey Phillips said that while his students were initially nervous about the competition, they seemed to grow more comfortable as the day went on with the help and guidance of Loyalist staff. Phillips brought 11 students to participate in the aesthetics portion of the Skills Loyalist competition. “This gives them an opportunity to see what real life is like. It’s taking the skills that they learn in the school, and putting it all together to be able to compete against other students. It’s really about application.” When the dust had settled, several Belleville students walked away with top honours in their categories. In automotive, Centennial’s Ben Anthony took home top honours; in twoman carpentry Tom Fitzpatrick and Zachary Bridgewater from Bayside shared first place; in four-man carpentry the quartet of Adam DeJong, Russell McKenny, Brad Cook and Cody Tolls came in first, and in welding Jacob Hollett of Bayside came out the winner.

and each had their own specific set of criteria used to judge participants. The event was sponsored by Trenval. “The competition helps with the learning of real life skills such as working under pressure, having to work with limited results, having to work on problems as part of a team and teaching the ability to think on their feet,” Drennan said. Some projects students worked on included children’s playhouses in carpentry, phototaking exercises around the college grounds in photography, and manicures, pedicures and facials in aesthetics. In precision machinery, Engineering Technician Jeremy Braithwaite said students were working on lathe machines to produce two specific pieces - a nut and a shaft that were meant to be threaded together. Students were judged not only on the quality of their workmanship, but also on their application of proper techniques and on a mock interview for a fake position in their field. “We want it to be enjoyable and fun for them, it’s not necessarily supposed to be a stressful, nerve wracking day, we want them

“entirely unfair,” the AMO said in a form letter to the attorney general it’s asking municipalities to submit. “If this situation continues, the scaling back on public services in order to limit liability exposure and insurance costs will only continue,” at the expense of communities, the letter stated. The Negligence Act, which hasn’t been updated in decades, “was never intended to place the burden of insurer of last resort on municipalities,” the association insisted. It said other jurisdictions “have recognized the current model of joint and several liability is not sustainable” and now it’s time “for Ontario to do the same.” The proposals under consideration include “a modified version of proportionate liability that applies in cases where a plaintiff is contributorily negligent,” and a limit on awards so that a municipality is never liable for more than two times its proportion of damages. “This is a positive development for municipalities and a step in the right direction,” said the AMO, which found in a survey two years ago that municipal liability premiums had increased 22 per cent over a five-year period. Trent Hills took a much bigger hit this year. Its insurance premiums went up by 51 per cent this year to roughly $565,800. The impact of the huge hike, along with a six per cent increase in the municipality’s bill for policing, to nearly $3 million, “is just staggering,” Mayor Hector Macmillan told council at its special budget meeting Feb. 20. He expressed concern the municipality wouldn’t be able to continue operating if it couldn’t secure insurance coverage. But CAO Mike Rutter said a number of factors led to the stiff increase. “We do much more in risk management than most municipalities do. Unfortunately we have had a couple of bad incidents,” he said. “Our existing insurer is quite satisfied we are taking the steps necessary to mitigate risk.” Legislative change is needed “so that (insurance) becomes more affordable,” he said, “but don’t believe for a second that we’re at risk of not being insured.” Rutter assured council it can expect competitive quotes from other insurers in 2015 “that will result in better rates but, unfortunately, this is a painful year.”
Council members question help provided to residents living in flood-prone areas News – Trent Hills – People living in low-lying areas need to do more to protect their properties against flooding, council members say, because it’s getting too costly for the municipality to lend them a helping hand. “What are they doing to mitigate that risk?” Mayor Hector Macmillan asked when council held a special meeting Feb. 20 to go over the 2014 draft budget. “It’s important that we start to tell people that we just can’t continue to do this unless they’re doing something as well.” Deputy clerk Shari Lang, manager of protective services, said the municipality spent $50,000 to prepare for potential flooding last spring, which involved distributing and setting in place sand bags to prevent damage to residents’ properties. “We potentially could be in the same position again” this year, Lang warned, saying her phone had been “buzzing like crazy the last five days” with people looking for help in anticipation of the water once again rising and creating problems. “People are really going to have to be educated on what their responsibility is, with just nuisance flooding (otherwise) it’s going to become a fact of life for us (to help out in those situations),” Lang said. “We really need to determine our standard of service as it relates to sand bags,” CAO Mike Rutter said. “Most municipalities are saying it is the individual’s responsibility to protect their own property ... We have tried to respond and help as much as we can but it is becoming very costly.” And it will grow even more expensive, he added, because the municipality has been relying on other municipalities to provide assistance but “we just can’t do that on an annual basis.”
He suggested the municipality hold a meeting with people living in flood-prone areas to look at the options and costs involved, in order “to formalize” what assistance will be provided “I’m really concerned about the level of service that we’re setting,” he said. “We’re giving them the impression that it is our responsibility to protect their personal property and it’s not theirs.” “The expectancies around emergencies have become a little steep,” Macmillan acknowledged. Property owners “have an agreement with their insurance companies. Our responsibility is life, (including) rescue and evacuation, and we’ve gone beyond that.” Rutter said the municipality has invested more than $100,000 to build up roads subject to flooding so that the fire department could get in and residents out, “so we’ve done our part in flood proofing areas.” Many residents have done their part as well “but many haven’t,” he added, and “those calls come in like clockwork every year: The water’s rising, we need to get the firefighters here,” to put the sand bags in place, even though they’re volunteers taking time off work to do so. Councillor Gene Brahaney said it annoys him “immensely” that “people who are so grateful to get the sand bags want them all moved (afterward) instead of them keeping them ... We shouldn’t have to bring them back.” Councillor Bill Thompson said it might be time for council “to lay down the law ... and say what we should have been saying all along. “It’s not fair that so many people pay so much (through their taxes) to help out a few who built or bought in places they knew (would be flooded),” he said.
Mac’s Milk in Campbellford robbed early Sunday morning News – Campbellford – Mac’s Milk was robbed early Sunday morning by a male wearing a black balaclava and dark tinted sunglasses. Police arrived at the convenience store on Bridge Street East shortly after 4:30 a.m. after the store clerk called 911 to report the robbery.

it’s not our responsibility to step in whenever something happens. ... We seem to have people who think that every year we should come down and sandbag their house.” Crate suggested the municipality charge for the service, so “maybe then they’ll want to start figuring out a way to stop” their homes being damaged by flooding. “When people buy in those areas they should be 100 per cent fully aware of what they’re buying and what has taken place on that property previously,” said Kelleher-MacLennan, a real estate broker.

The mayor agreed, saying “people need to step up and start looking after their own property. They can’t keep relying on us, especially now with the costs (adding up).” Councillor Rosemary Kelleher-MacLennan said the municipality isn’t mandated to provide such a service but has taken on the role as “the right thing to do” but taxpayers have told her they’re “quite upset” their tax dollars was being used to help others who knew the risks involved when they bought their properties. Deputy mayor Bob Crate said council “should be putting the onus on them to understand that

But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never thought of this program as designed for that. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designed for these kids to have really cool experiences where they actually gel as a team doing something at a super high level,â&#x20AC;? commented Noble. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an educational value about dealing with something at a high level of success and excellence ... I think you learn the joy of learning ... thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to me what the music program is about,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do have one or two kids every year that might go into music from this program.â&#x20AC;? Competing at the â&#x20AC;&#x153;nationalsâ&#x20AC;? is the icing on the cake for the students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once you see the other musicians, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspiring,â&#x20AC;? said

The students also hold two major fundraisers, the Florida citrus sale, which this year raised about $10,000 and the Dream Lottery (April 26) which usually brings in about $15,000. For students such as Emeline Russell-Cobbledick, Grade 12, who plays the trumpet in the Senior Jazz Band, being able to compete at the nationals is a high note in her school year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nerve wracking but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very exciting,â&#x20AC;? she told the Trent Hills Independent. Danielle Drysdale, Grade 12, who plays the tenor sax and is also in the senior jazz band, agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really like the experience of playing with your peers,â&#x20AC;? said Drysdale. Both students joined the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music program in Grade 9 and both have been at the nationals before when the bands have won gold.

Indoor walking program keeps folks fit in winter By Sue Dickens
Lifestyle – Campbellford – “We are bipedal creatures and we were meant to walk,” said Beverly Meyers, a recreational coach who is making walking in winter fun and easy with an indoor exercise program. “I was talking to Ruth Hutchinson who is with the United Church Women (UCW) at St. John’s Church here in Campbellford and she asked if I would be interested in leading an indoor exercise walking class,” said Meyers, a former gymnastics’ coach. She taught Kindergym (a multi-movement based program designed specifically for children) and was a gymnastics coach for 25 years here in Campbellford. “The request was great timing for me . . . a great fit,” she commented. The indoor walking and exercise program has become very popular this winter, a winter that has seen more than its share of snow and freezing rain making walking outdoors difficult, even treacherous. “We have a lot of seniors and baby boomers coming to take advantage of the program,” said Meyers. Because this is an outreach program of the church’s women’s group, there is no cost. “The program is free for anyone in the community,” Meyers explained. Anita Babcock of Campbellford is one of those people taking advantage of the program.

A very nice lady took them in and cared for them so they would thrive and have the chance for a loving forever home. They are both very sweet and playful and are good with other cats.

off and on,” she commented. “It has a lot of benefits. I have more energy and I’m not as stiff, plus it keeps my weight down,” she explained. “I curled for 20 years and am not able to curl anymore ... the program gives me the chance to get out and do something during the winter,” she added. For Meyers it’s all about keeping people moving and fit. “We’re doing strengthening exercises for our legs and upper body, flexibility and endurance as well as Kegel exercises ... it’s good for urinary control for women. We also work on balance,” she explained. Meyers, who has been a member of the Age Well Network committee since it started as an offshoot of the Northumberland Falls Prevention Coalition back in 2008, has taken seniors’ fitness instructor course and a falls prevention course. The indoor walking and exercise program, which runs from November until mid April at St. John’s United Church, takes place every Tuesday and Friday at 10 a.m. Folks can drop in and inquire or call 705-6532283.

“I’ve been coming here for the past eight years, ever since the program started,” she told the Trent Hills Independent, while demonstrating a chair exercise that helps her stay fit. “This is an exercise that engages the diagonal stomach muscles,” explained Meyers as Babcock placed her right hand on her left knee lifting her foot off the ground, pushing against her hand. “Anita is engaging muscles in both arms and legs, it’s a resistance exercise which people can do at home as well,” she added. “I had bowel surgery six years ago and it’s left my left side not wanting to do what I want it to do and so I need exercise,” said Babcock, with a big smile. At the age of 88, she said she realizes the importance of the walking and exercise. “I enjoy this program very much ... but also the friendship with the different people who have been coming here for years,” she added. “The program is a great opportunity to socialize,” noted Meyers.

Annual Presqu’ile Waterfowl Weekend coming up
Events - The Friends of Presqu’ile Park are pleased to announce that after this long, cold, snowy winter, Spring is in sight! And with Spring comes the return of tens of thousands of ducks, geese and swans to Presqu’ile Bay. Waterfowl of up to 25 different species arrive each spring to rest and feed here before moving on to nesting areas further north and west. Each year, for the past 37 years, the Friends of Presqu’ile have been happy to sponsor the Presqu’ile Waterfowl Weekend to celebrate this natural phenomenon. The tradition continues in 2014 with the 38th annual weekend on March 15-16, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. “This is truly a world-class natural spectacle” says Park Naturalist David Bree. “While these birds are present in March in numbers at various places along the Lake Ontario shoreline, Presqu’ile has some of the greatest concentrations, and has easy access to good viewing locations”. Bree goes on to say, “The big advantage to coming to the park during this weekend is you have access to spotting scopes to look through and knowledgeable volunteers to help you find and identify the many species present, and of course we have some added attractions people can take advantage of at the Lighthouse Centre and Nature Centre.” The Nature Centre will feature children’s activities and crafts, duck displays, and a taxidermy display from Feather and Down Taxidermy, with Steve Dingman there to answer your questions. Carver, Gary McPherson, will also be present to showcase the art of bird carving. We will also have Henry’s Camera present with some awesome lenses and cameras to test

out. The Lighthouse Centre will feature photography and art displays by Jim Brown and Sherrie Greig. Of course the Friend’s Gift Shop will be open. Plan on entering our
spring raffle for great Bushnell optics. The Friends will also host a BBQ where lunch, hot drinks and snacks can be purchased starting at 11 a.m. “The BBQ is always a great hit. A warm
burger is just the thing come noon and I am glad we are able to offer this again this year,” says Bree. The Lighthouse Centre is also the location of the indoor washroom facilities, an attraction in their own
right on a cold March day. The Friends invite everyone out to share in this event. It makes a great outing for those that appreciate nature, families and individuals alike. The only cost involved is a $10/ve-
hicle park entrance fee. Seasonal and annual park passes are also honoured for entry. Proceeds from this weekend will go towards The Friends’ projects in the park. We hope to see you there.

Crunch time for Bulls in playoff race
Sports – Belleville – It’s the time of year when every game matters in the OHL playoff race, and the shorthanded Belleville Bulls did well to salvage two of a possible four points from a pair of games on home ice this past weekend. Playing with just 16 skaters and two forwards filling in on defence, the Bulls came up short against the Oshawa Generals Saturday night by a 3-1 score, but rebounded in time to take a tough 3-2 win over the visiting Peterborough Petes less than 24 hours later. “It was an extremely hard-fought battle by our guys. We’re really short-manned and we became even more short-manned as the game went on,” said Bulls assistant coach Jake Grimes. “It seemed more like six periods we played today than three.” The Bulls entered the weekend slate of games with only four healthy defencemen, with blueliners Jake Worrad, Justin Lemcke, Adam Bignell and Mark Raycroft all watching the game from the stands with a variety of injuries. With few other options, head coach George Burnett started forwards Stephen Harper and Aaron Berisha on defence beginning Thursday at
Barrie. Following a 3-1 Belleville win, the pair were back on the blueline against the Oshawa Generals Saturday night. Unfortunately for the Bulls, the Eastern-conference leading Generals made short work of the short-handed Bulls squad with an entertaining 4-1 Generals win. It took the Bulls nearly ten minutes to record their first shot on goal, and by the time they found some offensive momentum the Generals were already leading 2-0 on goals by forwards Aidan Wallace and Justice Dundas. Belleville’s top offensive playmaker and leading scorer Remi Elie brought the Bulls within one after his powerplay goal midway through the second period, but it’s as close as the Bulls would come in this one. Despite the Bulls outshooting Oshawa 37-31, Generals goaltender Ken Appleby was more than up to the task, and a goal by Oshawa’s Cole Cassels midway through the third period was more than enough to secure the win for the Generals. Bulls netminder Charlie Graham picked up the loss after recording 27 saves. A rare Sunday matinee against the Peterborough Petes the very next day meant the Bulls were back
on the ice in less than 24 hours, but the outcome of Sunday’s win could have repercussions that last much longer. After a highly entertaining opening period that saw Bellevlle take a 2-1 lead on goals by Cameron Brace and Jake Bricknell, the Bulls blueline took yet another hit it could ill afford. Midway through the second period defenceman Brody Morris threw his body in front of a hard Peterborough slapshot, and much to the hometown fans horror he would stay down for the next couple minutes. Assisted by the training staff, Morris would eventually make his way to the locker oom, but would not return with what was later described as a “head injury.” With Morris going down the Bulls were left with just two healthy defencemen and only 15 skaters on the ice. With that said, it wasn’t a surprise to see the active Bulls skaters beginning to noticeably tire as the period went on, and despite failing to score Peterborough was threatening the Bulls net with quality chances. Things really unravelled for the Bulls at the beginning of the third period, as after an untimely penalty to one of two remaining defence-
man, Jordan Subban, the Bulls took to the penalty kill only to give up the tying goal to Peterborough’s Greg Betzold. Belleville was meanwhile struggling on the offensive end with zero shots through the opening 10 minutes of the period, and things were looking grim. That is, until they got lucky. It was an ordinary dump into the Pete’s offensive zone for Belleville’s Alex Yuill, but this time the puck took a funny bounce. As the puck careened around the top of the boards in the Petes’ zone, Peterborough goaltender Alex D’Agostini left his post to make a play behind the net. That’s when the puck hit
the edge of a partition of glass and deflecting directly in front of the yawning cage, where Bulls forward Adam Laishram was in the right place at the right time, scoring just his second goal of his OHL career to give the Bulls a 3-2 lead with only eight minutes remaining. Try as they might, the Petes just couldn’t overcome their stroke of misfortune, and Bulls goalie Michael Giugovaz was solid down the stretch to preserve the Belleville win. “I think we’re playing playoff hockey, and I hope we make it to the playoffs,” Grimes said. “The first thing we’ve got to do is recover from our bumps and bruises and get
healthy again... we just need to keep that level of intensity that we’ve had for the last week or so.” With the win, the Bulls propelled themselves to within just three points of a playoff spot, as both Ottawa and Niagara sat on 46 points to Belleville’s 43 after Sunday’s games. The Bulls played host Ottawa in a pivotal matchup on Wednesday, February 26; however the score was not available by press time. The Bulls finish off the month with a trip to Kingston on February 28, and return to Belleville the following night on March 1 to complete a home-and-home set with the Frontenacs.

Brighton Novice Braves flying high in the playoffs By Ray Yurkowski
Sports – Brighton – The Novice Braves took a onegame advantage in the bestof-five Ontario Minor Hockey Association (OMHA) eastern championship semifinal series last weekend against the Norwood Hornets. So far, the pint-sized squad
of six, seven and eight-yearold players has won seven games and lost one in the quest for gold, with goaltender Katelyn Fletcher carrying a 1.50 goals-against-average into the next game. Early in the season, the emphasis was on back checking, says coach Tom Moran,

“and they’ve progressed from there.” “Our best offence is our defence and our best defence is our offence,” he added. “I wasn’t concerned about who was scoring the goals; it was who was doing the back checking. The kids bought into that and realized, every time they back check somebody else went down the ice and scored or created a chance. “That was the first step. We went from that to positioning. It was a gradual, step-by-step progression and it’s worked out well.” Moran says a playoff team has to have the whole package: “great players who all get along, good coaches and parents. We’re all on the same page and it’s been that way all season.” “The bottom line is they are a great group of kids,” he said. “They all listen and they all work hard. We don’t have any superstars; they work together as a team.” One of the secrets to the Novice Braves success is a lot of extra time on the ice, including a round of power skating sessions. “It made a huge difference with these young kids,” said Moran. “It was just skating and they really liked it.” “Ice time is king,” he added. And to get more time, Brighton teams have gone as far afield as Colborne and Warkworth to find it. With a roster of 12 skaters plus a single goaltender, Moran doesn’t see a problem with depth on the bench. “They all work together,” he said. “They just come to the rink and go to work.”
In the dressing room, the atmosphere is pretty loose before game time. “As coaches, we don’t give them 15 minutes of speeches,” says Moran. “The music is on, they’re stretching, they’re dancing … They’re in a good mindset before they hit the ice. “There’s a balance between competitive and fun. The coaches are trying to keep it as simple as we can. If they win, it’s an amazing feeling but they don’t need to feel their world has come to an end if they lose a hockey game or something doesn’t go their way. “They’ve got to be able to make mistakes all year long,” he added. “They got to be able to come out, try to do the right thing and not worry about making a mistake. But, what we started with in August is a lot different than what we’ve got right now. “I told them, if they come up against a team that is just better than us, sometimes the hockey Gods just don’t go your way. Just keep doing your best.” The winner of the semi-final matchup, which continues at Norwood on February 26 and 28, will advance to face either the Stayner Cyclones or Newcastle Stars for the OMHA CC-C eastern championship. The last time the Braves won a novice title was in

Girl with arthritis fundraising for walk-a-thon By Sue Dickens
Lifestyles – Campbellford – Struggling to get out of bed in the morning, fighting the pain of arthritis, Isabelle Hardy puts a smile on her face and begins her day. She has suffered with this disease for years. She just celebrated her ninth birthday and hopes that by telling her story she will bring awareness to the fact that arthritis is not just a disease of the elderly. To further that cause she is fundraising and will be participating in this summer’s “Walk to Fight Arthritis”, a first for the Arthritis Society of Peterborough. “We want people to know that arthritis is not just a disease of old people,” said her mom Jenn Hardy. March has been designated as “Childhood Arthritis Month” and Isabelle hopes by telling her story the walk-a-thon will be a success,” she explained. For Isabelle her story is also about dealing with the pain of arthritis every day. “I have a lot of pain and so there are a few exercises I do in my bed before I get up just to get loosened up,” young Isabelle told the Trent Hills Independent. According to the arthritis society one in 1,000 children has
arthritis. “In children it’s different than adults. In children it makes the growth plates grow exponentially faster ... Because Isabelle’s still growing she has a double curved spine now,” said her mom, who explained it’s not always easy to diagnose in children. The family has been to many doctors, from a pediatrician in Peterborough to a rheumatologist at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in Toronto. Living in Dartford, a hamlet near Warkworth, Isabelle and her mom also travel to Campbellford to the treatment offices of Five Counties Children’s Centre where she is helped by an occupational therapist and physical therapist. “Isabelle is also seeing environmental doctors in Ottawa and Vaughn,” said her mom. Isabelle attended day care and public school for three years. However, the disease has forced her to be at home so much that she is now home-schooled by her mom, who quit her position as a social worker two years ago to be there for her. Isabelle’s arthritis is complicated by the fact she also has fibromyalgia and myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome.
“I also have to use a puffer because I have asthma,” said young Isabelle, who always has a smile on her face. “I have to watch what I eat. I can’t have dairy, wheat, corn, anything with gluten but I really like ham. I am a real foodie,” she added with her infectious grin. Isabelle also asked that her cats are mentioned in her story. “I have two cats. They mean the world to me. One is Sammy and one is Glenny and they inspire me ... they really are my therapy.” Taking it all in stride this bright, alert youngster is now focused on the walk-a-thon. “My goal is to raise $200 and I’ve raised $25 so far,” she said. “If somebody donates they get a free bracelet which I make myself.” Her family and friends, “grandma and grandpa,” (Judy and Dale Hardy), will be joining her in the walk which takes place Sunday, June 8 at Jackson Park in Peterborough. Registration is at noon and the walk starts at 1 p.m. Anyone who wants to donate to Isabelle can email jjh339@yahoo.ca or donate online at: www. walktofightarthritis.ca (click on the green donate button, type in Isabelle Hardy, location Peterborough).

Smyth it’s been a relatively quick climb to the top. The film is the pair’s first feature documentary together, and while Smyth had previously produced a documentary, Jensen’s only experience with filmmaking was through working on commercials and multi-media projects such as web series. Drawing from mutual experiences with the underground music scene in Toronto, the idea for their film, The Scene: An Exploration of Music in Toronto was born. “(The artists) couldn’t survive pursuing their artistic dreams, they were all just trying to pay the rent, and in their off-time writing, recording, rehearsing and playing in live shows,” Jensen said. “You go to a show, and you see one per cent of these peoples lives. We wanted to display the other 99 per cent of what actually goes into that show.
We wanted people to appreciate the blood, sweat, and tears, and all the work that goes into putting on that 45-minute set.” Jensen premiered the documentary at Belleville’s DocFest in 2013, and said the experience was “amazing.” “It was just a completely surreal experience being in a capacity crowd... for the world premier of my first feature,” he said. “Having friends, family and people I hadn’t seen in a long time, coming to see this movie, this indie documentary about indie music was fantastic, it was such a blast.” The year 2014 marks the third year for Downtown DocFest, and Jensen said it serves as an important platform to showcase local talent. Shortly after the film was shown, the pair secured their Canadian distribution deal, followed by an American distribution deal

not long after. The film was released via iTunes this past Tuesday in North America, and Jensen said a DVD release is forthcoming. For more information on the film, visit the website at www.thescenedoc. com. “This never existed when I was growing up,” he said. “I’m so glad that DocFest exists, because in addition to bringing in small films or less mainstream documentaries and giving them a platform in the Quinte area, what they’re doing is promoting local talent as well.” This year DocFest features the 12 different productions from local filmmakers, including a documentary narrated by the CBC’s Shelagh Rodgers.

Foundation’s Prom Project making a difference By Steve Jessel
News – Belleville – “I didn’t realize I could look so beautiful.” Those are the words of one student that took part in the 2013 edition of the Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation’s Prom Project, and for Foundation executive director Maribeth DeSnoo, that’s what the initiative is all about. “(The student) said this was the

nicest thing she had ever had,” DeSnoo said, reflecting back to 2013. “I think that so many of us are so lucky and take things for granted ... that was just so heartfelt. ” Now entering its third year, Prom Project is an annual regional campaign that asks for donations of gently-used formal wear that can be worn by Grade 8-12 students to their graduation or prom ceremonies. After being
held in six area secondary schools in the Prince Edward-Hastings District School Board in 2013, DeSnoo said 2014 will see the project go to all eight secondary schools in the board, meaning that even more students will be able to take part in the initiative. “It makes it far more accessible to all students, regardless of the system they’re in,” DeSnoo said. “If a student would be otherwise unable to do
their grad or prom, they are more than welcome and we encourage them to attend a Prom Project event.” Suits, ties, dresses and formalwear items are all welcome donations to the project, in sizes 2-24. Donations are accepted until March, and once formal events draw a bit closer partner schools hold special Prom Please see “Dresses” on page B3
TRAVEL
Hiking an enjoyable experience on Maui
By John M. Smith
Lifestyles - While in Maui, Hawaii, I went on a half day hike into an isolated rainforest and along a beautiful stream on the west side of the island. It was both rugged and beautiful and included glimpses of spectacular rock formations and stops at several awesome waterfalls and pools. My guide was Mike, but he’s commonly called “Marco” (after Marco Polo), for he’s done a lot of travelling around the world; however, he’s also worked on and off, for a particular eco-friendly adventure trek business, “Hike Maui”, for the past 15 years or so. The hike was very informative, for Marco was able to weave geology, history, and
botany into the hiking experience. For example, he pointed out many of the plant species along the way including tea leaf plants, shampoo ginger and strawberry guava. He also gave us insights into the history of Hawaii and he led us right into a bamboo forest where he cut some pieces of bamboo and had us try blowing into these pipe-like structures to create our own specialized musical instruments. The hike also proved to be quite a workout, for the entire trip took about six hours and included a walk right along a cliff edge and to a huge banyan tree, where we descended by hanging on to the large banyan tree roots into a canyon! After this strenuous descent, we were
rewarded by seeing a magnificent waterfall cascading down towards us from high above. I then learned that Woody Harrelson (actor) had made this very same descent and same hike and he had even shown some ‘daredevil moves’ by bravely climbing up the rocky precipice right next to the waterfall itself. On another section of our walk, we witnessed a triple cascading waterfall. We also stopped at a rocky precipice that used to be rappelled down, but one of the guides fell here and it took 10 hours to rescue him! Therefore, this is no longer a part of the hike. I asked Marco if he ever had clients that couldn’t make the somewhat gruelling hike and he said “Yes, but I try to gauge

Donations of gently-used formal wear can be donated at a variety of locations. In Belleville, donations can be dropped off at Parsons Cleaners, Woodland Cleaners, Northtown Cleaners, and Quinte Mall; in Trenton at Trenton Clothing and Repair, Trenton Cleaners and Tucker’s Corners Variety; and in Prince Edward County at Scott’s General Store in Picton, Pearson’s Foodland in Wellington and at Rossmore Stop.

DeSnoo said. “I’ll never forget at PECI, the Vice Principal, he had a group of at least 15 students, young guys standing around him, and he was teaching them how to tie a tie. You had students helping other students, saying ‘I think you should try this on, because it would look lovely on you’ ...the whole fact that you’re making something possible that otherwise never Mode Elle models Danielle Dettlinger, Maggie McDonnell and Leah Hamilton modelled some of the would have happened is just outfits donated for Prom Project at the official launch for Prom Project at Quinte Mall on February 19.

what each group is capable of doing and I don’t always take the same route or the same level of challenges. Still, there have been times when an alternate, easier route has been necessary and I’ve even taken guests to the nearest road and simply picked them up in my vehicle. After all, the paying customer must come first.” Our hike wasn’t terribly long in distance (just over three miles), but it did offer some challenges and we worked up a healthy sweat; however, we were also given some welcomed opportunities for a refreshing swim in clear, cool pools, for jumping off of rocks into these deep pools and for a cooling shower under a cascading waterfall. Ken Schmitt began “Hike Maui” (www.hikemaui.com) way back in 1983, over 30 years ago, and he was the only employee for the first few years. However, he was determined Marko leads us through a section of bamboo. to make this business a success for he felt that this was a way to show visitors the real Hawaii. Ken’s business and reputation did eventually grow, and a female travel writer, M J Harden, came on assignment to check it out and write an article about this particular activity. Well, one thing led to another and she eventually married Ken. She’s now the Vice President and head of personnel and training; and “Hike Maui” now employs about 20 guides and offers a great variety of trips including full-day waterfalls and rainforest hikes and a trek at the summit of Haleakala Volcano. With Maui’s spectacular beaches and its plethora of activities, there’s a great variety of things to see and do here, but our hike was one unique way to explore and experience this beautiful Hawaiian island. Our supplied hiking gear included bottled water, daypacks, water shoes, rain ponchos, and lunch. We were then declared good to go and the expedition proved to be very worthwhile.

LIFE
When are you an adult?
Reality Check:
Sheila Wray Gregoire Lifestyles - Canadians rejoiced loudly last week when we were victorious in Olympic hockey. Facebook was taken over for 48 hours by a constant barrage of “Way to Go, Canada!” while #WeAreWinter surged on Twitter. In the midst of the revelry, though, an American story about freestyle skiing half-pipe gold medalist David Wise caught my attention. Wise is 23-yearsold, and has been married for several years to his wife Alexandra. They have a two-year-old daughter together. NBC reported on his win like this: “David Wise’s alternative lifestyle leads to Olympic gold.” Being married with a child in your early twenties is now an “alternative lifestyle”, and the statistics actually bear this out. According to Stats Canada, the
average age of first marriage in Canada is now 29 for women and 31 for men. Even more telling to me, though, was that NBC also added this line: “At such a young age, Wise has the lifestyle of an adult.” The lifestyle of an adult when you’re 23 and how shall I put this? an adult! The fact that we can be so surprised that a 23-year-old is behaving like an adult makes me a little sad. I was married at 21; when I was 23, I was pregnant with my oldest daughter, who is now studying in second year at university. I raised my kids while I was in my mid-twenties, and still in great shape to lug babies and strollers up flights of stairs in the subway system in Toronto. When Keith and I were first married we started saving like crazy.
We budgeted well and managed to scrounge together enough for a small down payment on a house when we were in our late twenties. It wasn’t a large house, and back then neither of us had very well-paying jobs. But we figured out how to stretch our money, and we made it work. When we announced our engagement back in 1991, many were a little incredulous. How can we be so sure when we’re that young? You need to live more, see more of the world, try more things before you settle down! In fact, “settling down” was portrayed as something bad, as if life ends once you make a commitment. Yet for me, that was more when life began. In fact, happiness studies show that satisfaction comes not from

they have to know how to maintain a household, including knowing how to cook and clean. They have to know how to manage money. They have to be employable (or at least in school to become employable). They have to be responsible. And few 18-year-olds can accomplish all that unless we as parents start raising them to be adults earlier. I’m not sure we’re doing favours by extending childhood until people are thirty. Perhaps we’d all be better off if we expected people to act like adults once they were, actually, adults. Correction: Last week in my column on Nicholas Winton I stated that he had rescued Jewish children from Austria during World War II. It was actually Czechoslovakia. I’m so sorry about the confusion.
Seedy Saturday focuses on heritage
Lifestyles - At the garden centre, we’ve had the pleasure of chatting with our “scratch” gardeners these past few weeks as indoor sowing time has arrived. It’s a good time for us; it means that spring is coming. Forget the first birds, the first sniff of bare soil on a south west breeze, the first snow drop blossom and any other so-called harbinger of the vernal season. You gardener folk are its vanguard and we
welcome you. Seedy Saturday is a gathering of like-minded individuals who are interested in the conservation of heritage seeds and the knowledge that goes with it. This is now a world-wide movement that had its origins in Canada with BC agronomist Sharon Rempel’s first meeting, held in 1990. There is a valid concern that we are losing not only control of our seeds but

living a carefree lifestyle, but instead from finding meaning and belonging while also feeling productive. Maybe younger people have trouble “finding themselves” because they’re looking in the wrong place. I’m not arguing that people should get married younger; most people, after all, really aren’t ready. But maybe that’s the root of the problem: we are raising people to not be “adults” until they reach thirty. That’s become the culturally accepted norm. Instead of the teen years being the decade in which you grow up, it’s now the twenties. Is that healthy for a society? I always believed you were an adult at eighteen, but for that to happen an 18-year-old has to be ready to launch into the adult world. That means

There are concerns about loss of open-pollinated varieties, ownership of varieties, and the diversity of varieties adapted to different bioregions. Absolutely, you will be able to swap seeds and purchase seeds but; more importantly, you will learn a tremendous amount about them, which incidentally, are our food source. Colleen O’Reilly requested that I pass on information about this event in The Good Earth column and I am very happy to do so. To that end, I requested Colleen send along detailed info. Here it is: “The heart of the Seedy Saturday Quinte West is our seed exchange table. This event encourages the exchange of locally grown and collected, openpollinated seeds amongst attendees.

Gilmore Junio who gave up his spot in the medal round, Justin Wadsworth who helped a Russian competitor and PK Subban who accepted his non-playing role with grace will be the memories that make me feel good to be a Canadian.

Kellie Pickler, Joe Nichols returning to Jamboree
By Bill Freeman
Entertainment – Havelock – Kellie Pickler caused a sensation during her last trip to the Havelock Country Jamboree and the American Idol sweetheart and Dancing With the Stars winner is sure to create the same sort of buzz when she returns this August to be part of the Jamboree’s big 25th anniversary festival. Pickler and three-time Grammy nominee Joe Nichols, another Jamboree alumnus, are the latest performers to be
booked for this August’s four-day country music party, which already has a stellar lineup that includes country music icon Alan Jackson, rockin’ Dierks Bentley, Josh Turner, Michelle Wright, The Mavericks, Suzy Bogguss, Doc Walker, Charlie Major , The Good Brothers and 23 other musical luminaries. Also newly-announced are Kelly Vohn and her Dolly Parton tribute, Jack Connolly, Dry Country and local favourites Cold Creek Country featuring

Nichols brings a heartthrob quotient to the stage along with his 14 top 40 hits and four chart-toppers like Brokenheartsville and Tequila Makes My Clothes Fall Off. The winner of the Academy of Country Music’s Top Male Artist award and three times a Grammy nominee, the Arkansas native is touring behind his latest album, Crickets, which has already produced one number one hit, Sunny and 75, and reached number three on the Billboard Country chart. “There’s always going to be a traditional element in my music that I won’t change, and really just can’t change,” says Nichols. “But I can reach beyond my comfort zone, too.

American Idol sweetheart, Dancing With The Stars winner and country music star Kellie Pickler is coming back to the Havelock Country Jamboree to help it celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary.
Havelock Country Showdown star Brandon Scott. “My life is a country song,” Pickler notes. Her music and her sparkling personality have helped her navigate her way through some dramatic life lessons and pick up three CMT awards and a host of nominations. Her newest album, her fourth, The Woman I Am, is earning strong reviews and she’s looking forward to matching the success of her earlier releases including her first album, Small Town Girl, which shot up the charts and sold 800,000 while producing three top 20 hits including Red High Heels. Pickler shot to national attention as a 19-year-old with her dazzling performance during the fifth season (2005) of American Idol. She has toured with her friend Taylor Swift and has been a headliner since then winning new fans with every song and trip on stage. Her 2013 Dancing With The Stars win with Derek Hough in 2013 added even more luster to a sterling career. “When I write a song I just write about who I am and where I’ve been, where I am

Revenue is divided up by paying the theatre a fixed rental fee and the rest is divided evenly amongst the performers. In other words, they get paid per song. Marvin Tucker, president of the Board of Directors of the Belleville Theatre Guild, added his endorsement. “We are excited about the idea of using the Pinnacle Playhouse as a musical venue. We feel this is a wonderful and comfortable little theatre - just right for hearing some great music. We are particularly excited about the idea of supporting local musicians and giving them a place to express their musical creativity.

When I approached a few musicians in and around Belleville, their very positive responses motivated me to seek out partners with similar ideas. Based on the success of the Wolfville Night Kitchen I believed Night Kitchen Too would be well received and supported by the community,’” explained Gary about his interest and reason for adopting and promoting the concept of a second Night Kitchen.

Entertainment - Belleville - On March 15, the first of three Saturday nights are already booked for a transplanted and innovative musical showcase called Night Kitchen Too, an idea borrowed from the very successful Night Kitchen that has been entertaining full houses in Wolfville, Nova Scotia for over five years. Each will get underway at 8 p.m. at The Pinnacle Playhouse in downtown Belleville. The concept is quite simple: 14 invited musicians show up for a sound check an hour before the eight o’clock opening. All musicians get one or two songs until just before the coffee break; a selected individual or group will perform three songs. All performances are acoustic so the sound system is very basic, one of the reasons the program works so well. Musicians will await their turn sitting in front row seats offering encouragement and support for the other performers. Singer-songwriter Joe Callahan will host the Night Kitchen Too concerts. He is known to the Quinte region’s live music scene through his work with the Loyal Blues Fellowship in organizing local music festivals, workshops and

News - Trenton - Lord and Lady BadenPowell would be proud. There were 158 girls at Trenton High School on February 22, Thinking Day, celebrating the history of Guiding. “There has been Guiding in Canada since 1910,” said Trenton Community Guider Rosemary Peck. She said the theme of the day’s event at the high school was Time Travellers

as girls learned about Guiding past, present and future. There were dances, drama, crafts, history and songs. Guides, Brownies, Sparks, Pathfinders, Lones, Trex and Rangers all come from the same roots, ranging in age from five to 17. Scouting started in England with Lord Baden-Powell and Guiding with his wife Lady BadenPowell, which quickly spread all over the world.

“We could have had a lot more here today but I did not realize so many would come,” Rosemary said. “We have girls from all over Community 24 including Quinte West, Belleville, Stirling, Brighton, Campbellford, Warkworth, Cobourg and Camborne.” She said next year they will open it up to include even more girls as she gets more leaders to come in, and they get permission to use all the

Girl Guides, Brownies, Sparks celebrate Thinking Day at THS

Continued from page B8
The edging is a different colour as they progress to Brownies, etc. The Time Traveller theme was well orchestrated on stage as a “real” time machine spit out the Lord and Lady themselves. “Don’t get too close – you can see the duct tape,” Rosemary said with a smile. She said she was pleased with the turnout for World Thinking Day and happy the children were enjoying learning about the history of Guiding. “They think about the founders, and the sister Guides and Scouts all around the Anna Walsh of Belleville learns how to make a “God’s Eye” with help from Patty “Rosebud” Storring of Belleville.

space available to them. Lord and Lady Baden-Powell were there, with Donna Chard acting as the Lord and Katrina Boutilier as his Lady. Several other girls dressed in era costumes to show the changes over the years. The crafts and games were a learning experience as well, with children learning to dance the oldfashioned way from the Charleston right up to the Macarena. “We got some of our uniforms and displays from the Guide-Scout Museum in Belleville,” Rosemary says. She notes the museum at Sir James Whitney School is in Building M and is expanding even more. Little girls from Sparks use a twofinger salute which means, “I promise to share and be a friend.” The older Brownies and Guides still have the three-finger salute that was the original from Lord Baden-Powell and comes with a lengthier and more serious promise backed up by the Guide Law. God and the Queen have been replaced in the promise by loyalty to Canada, in keeping with the times. Rosemary adds that there are new uniforms now, with the pink Sparks now slipping into blue with a pink edging.

CVCA to again look at a service agreement By Judy Backus
News – Marmora – The agenda for the February 20 annual meeting of Crowe Valley Conservation Authority was altered somewhat due to several board members being absent. As a result, the watershed advisory board hearing relating to a permit application by Dan Doyle to construct a house on the north shore of Crowe Lake was deferred. The property is partially within 30 metres of a wetland and within the flood limit of the lake, and issues relating to access during flood conditions were listed among the concerns. John West, an accountant with McColl Turner, made his annual visit to deliver information relating to the 2013 financial statements. He commented that there were no changes or improvements required and that the Authority was in a better position than had been projected. He commented that cash reserves were down by $87,000, and were less than the projected $120,000. He said that “while the position has declined, it is still a strong position.” In looking at the statement of operations, he reported a deficit of $82,000 up from $56,000 the previous year. “The deficit,” he said, “is a little more than budget, but when you take out the amortization of $42,000, the actual deficit compared to your budget is only about $4,600 difference, which is a positive turnaround.” He pointed out that with regard to source water and the (Water and Erosion Control Infrastructure (WECI) program,
the funding had been maximized. He reported with regard to operations, that costs were down slightly over the previous year and would have been even lower had there not been a need to replace stop logs at a cost of $16,000. He went on to issue a clean opinion on the drafts saying that “all things considered, it had been a pretty good year.” In response to a question from Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Mayor Ron Gerow on the possibility of developing an asset management plan, West indicated he felt it would be necessary to maximize funding. General Manager, Tim Pidduck commented that Conservation Ontario was aware of the issue and the WECI committee would assist authorities in developing such plans. Gerow asked about how a strategy to refurbish the reserves might be developed and was told by West that it almost becomes part of the annual budgeting process, setting targets and goals. Next on the agenda was a delegation by Kathy Hamilton, her third to the CVCA Board relating to her concerns on the proposed Northland Power proposal. Prior to her presentation, Chair Barry Rand asked what she wanted from the Authority, given that no formal application was before the Board. Hamilton, who lives below what would become the reservoir, responded that she wanted to ascertain the safety of the project. She said the project was more like an industrial development and had nothing to do with the
green energy act. She referred to the point at which a contract was in place as being the time she and her family would have to decide whether to stay or leave. Her main point had to do with the fact that the contract came before approvals were in place. In her report to the board, Regulations Officer Sharlene Richardson mentioned that ten permits had been issued since the last meeting and, with regard to a Limerick Lake subdivision plan, she indicated that the CVCA recommendations and requirements had been incorporated into the site plan with an application to soon be forwarded. She also mentioned changes to the regulation policy manual, which was adapted from the existing local CVCA policy and those of six or seven others. The document was subsequently approved with thanks from the board members. Pidduck provided his report, mentioning a need to confirm the fees for the current year, suggesting that the 2013 schedule be adopted with one change, that being the fact that the rate charged for review of reports should be dependent on the hourly rate of staff. This, he said, “will reflect the true cost for the review and take into account the rates which will be different from conservation authority to conservation authority and the expertise required to review the reports.” Discussion followed with a suggestion that staff communicate with applicants as to what the costs might be. The board also decided to increase the

rental rates at the McGeachie property by two per cent. With regard to water levels, Gerow had read that those at Kosh Lake were at the one in 100 ear level, with Pidduck agreeing it was a significant item with a plan in the works to get the Ministry to confirm what the level is. Chair Barry Rand mentioned that the lakes had been drawn down as much as possible and the maximum flood storage capacity had been created. When it came to the significant rainfall that was expected later that day, Pidduck said the snow pack should absorb the moisture until normal winter temperatures return. WECI funding was discussed independently of other budget items. The feeling was that the Wollaston and Belmont dam projects, relating to dam stability, should be addressed as soon as possible. The authority’s share of the work would amount to $125,715.50. This money could be taken from reserves or could be levied to member municipalities. The decision was to take the necessary funds from reserves. Pidduck went on to report that the flood warning plan would be distributed next week, that the CVCA website was close to completion and that the revenue from the Shaman Power project was $19,000, which represented the second best year for the hydro plant.

Pidduck’s report also included mention of the fact that the Prince Edward Land Trust had indicated an interest in the McGeachie property, which would provide an opportunity for CVCA to raise some revenue. Another income producing item was the possible sale of a five-acre portion of the 400 acre Gut property for use by a resident who with his family, has made use of it for years for hunting purposes. No decision was made on the matter. Although the passage of the budget was deferred until the April 17 meeting, the matter of entering a service agreement with Quinte Conservation was again broached. The issue had been the topic of a well-attended
public meeting held last October when a motion to enter an agreement failed in a tie vote. The new motion, put forward by Gerow and seconded by Sandy Fraser, indicated that the board was being asked for the strategic subcommittee to communicate with Quinte Conservation to determine its willingness to further develop the previous service agreement proposal. The motion also asked the subcommittee to develop an agreement that is clear regarding the savings that would be achieved, staffing commitments regarding current CVCA employees, service levels and any cost of developing the agreement, and that the agreement be provided to the board by May 1. The motion passed.
