Chamber considering “waking up� Apple Route By John Campbell

News - Cramahe Township - The Brighton-Cramahe Chamber of Commerce is “financially stable� and its “membership is growing,� says manager Sherry Hamilton. The chamber is also “working very hard� to strengthen its “strategic partnerships to the east and to the west,� with organizations that include Business Advisory Centre Northumberland and Bay of Quinte Tourism, she recently told council. Next steps include redoing the chamber’s strategic plan–“it’s time to set new goals�–and working closely with Prosper in Northumberland, which will launch a shop local campaign in the near future. This month Brighton-Cramahe will begin work on a three-year tourism marketing plan with Trent Hills Chamber of Commerce. “The Apple Route is under discussion,� Hamilton added. “It’s been sleeping for awhile. We may wake it up. There’s a real desire to see that happen again. We get requests about it all the time, so we really need to seriously consider it, and see how possible that is.� Hamilton said one of the key projects identified at the chamber’s December meeting, the Brighton Creative Trade Centre, is now up in the air. Brighton council “has decided not to support that initiative and to leave it to the business community whether or not it moves forward,� she said. “The

chamber has been asked to provide that leadership for the community.� But the board’s concern “is they don’t want to end up owning the project. I don’t really know where that’s going to go.� More discussion will take place, she said. Hamilton provided council a summary of tourism traffic last year at the Brighton Tourist Information Centre (1,899 visitors for the year) and the kiosk at the Big Apple in Colborne (680 for four months). Another 894 contacts were made with people using the bus between Presqu’ile Provincial Park and Brighton in July and August. The overall number “is a really big deal,� said Hamilton, whose report included suggestions for additional materials to be developed, including fishing maps, and cycling, shopping and historic tours. “I think we could keep them here longer if we did [have them],� she said. Hamilton said the chamber will shift some dollars from hiring temporary staff in the summer to “produce some of these new materials� and boost its marketing efforts. The cost of services provided by the chamber to the township will remain the same as last year, $18,330, she said. The money is used to help staff the kiosk and information centre, manage tourism operations, and offset marketing costs, such as production of a visitor’s guide.

Roof collapse leads to evacuation gineering Ltd., stated that owing to the zero clearance between the two buildings, the failed roof has caused movement toward, and pressure against 23 Prince Edward Street. He recommended that the building be vacated immediately. The tenants upstairs at 23 Prince Edward did evacuate despite the opinion that the collapsed roof has not caused any movement or structural damage by engineering firm, Davenport & Associates hired by the owner of the building. “In our professional opinion, the apartment and the retail store located in 23 Prince Edward Street can continue to be occupied with-

out concern,” stated Murray J. Davenport in his report. Owner Andrea Rae continues to operate her business Despite the conflicting reports, Brumsey says he’d prefer to be safe and believe his engineer. His concern is that if more snow, then melt occurs, more damage could happen. Until such time as Brumsey speaks with his insurance company, he does not know whether the building would be repaired or demolished. Until a decision is made, the northbound lane of Prince Edward Street will remain closed, as will the alley on the north side.

BADGaS receives solid support

News - Brighton - Since the launching of three separate appeals against the proposed downtown Mac’s Convenience and gas bar, the group, Brighton Against Downtown Gas Station, or BADGaS, has been busy moving forward on the appeals. Council approved the site rezoning to allow the gas station in the downtown core, a zone that currently does not allow vehicular-geared businesses. The three appellants are Steve White and Tracey Acker of End of the Thread, Kamran Sheikh of The Pump gas

bar, and a 16-year resident, David Green. “We have made much progress since our launch meeting on February 18,” Green said in a press release. “We have consulted with a land-use planner and have a clear picture of what is involved.” To allow for professional representation, Green said they have set their fundraising goal at $20,000, and are pleased that they have already raised more than 22 per cent of that goal. “In making their contribution, many residents and business owners expressed their strong disappointment

at council’s decision to approve a gas bar at this location,” Green said. “One contributor said they felt betrayed by the candidate they voted for in the October election.” According to municipal planner Ken Hurford, the municipality’s costs should be borne by Mac’s and not the taxpayer. Another appeal launched by Len Kuipers when council denied his application for an infilling semi-detached home on Chapel Street during the same meeting, will be covered by the taxpayers, at an estimated $15,000. Green asked anyone interested in supporting the appeal of the gas bar, contact him at <brightonbadgas@gmail.com> or look it up on Facebook.

Economic development position deemed redundant by council

ton council has declared development and revitalization coNews - Brighton - Brigh- the position of economic ordinator redundant, after disbanding the downtown revitalization committee last month. A notice of motion was approved to come forward as a motion after two thirds of council gave the nod to bring it onto the table Monday night. The original motion, moved by Councillor Steve Baker and seconded by Councillor John Martinello, stated the downtown revitalization co-ordinator position, but her position covered much more than that.

development, and Baker replied, “I’m not saying we’re stopping all economic development. I think the current position and its mandate does not fit the needs of this community.” Councillor Brian Ostrander argued that he did not see how they’re not eliminating economic development by removing the last economic development position. “By removing the last economic development employee, we are ceasing municipal economic development role,” Ostrander said. Baker said the economic development manager position became vacant when Elisha Purchase left to work for Build Belleville and Downtown Revitalization. Financially, the downtown revitalization co-ordinator position and committee cost taxpayers about $28,000 since

Laurie Caouette came onboard in the middle of last year. “If we stop [the project] and we do not honour the contract, we will be responsible for 100 per cent of those costs,” Frost told council. Frost said committees such as Applefest would no longer have municipal support, and all social media would stop. Owing to the financial repercussions, Ostrander suggested the matter be moved to the March 10 budget meeting. The motion was seconded by Vink. When it came to a vote, Walas broke a tie, voting against moving the matter to budget. The original motion to eliminate the position came back on the floor, with a 5 - 2 vote, with Vink and Ostrander opposed. Frost said Caouette would be given notice of her termination.

Frost said the title was incorrect in the motion when asked by Councillor Laura Vink. “The title is called economic development and revitalization co-ordinator,” Frost told council. “Part of it is dealing with the downtown revitalization project … but it goes much beyond that.” She said the position works on the community development plan, communications strategy, and to provide support around social media and communications, including updating the website. Martinello said “he was pretty sure” the latest businesses to come to Brighton were not a result of the downtown revitalization co-ordinator, and that “Brighton’s continued involvement with downtown revitalization was a waste of taxpayer money.” Vink asked where they’re going in regard to economic

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Be afraid, be very afraid

Dear Editor, So Prime Minister Stephen Harper has gone to Elections Canada and told them to fire up the printers in preparation for a spring election. MPs have been notified to open their offices and get ready. Having blown his image as the great economist, (will he even bother bringing out a budget), the last arrow in his quiver is fear and he’s using it to the max to distract us from his failures. When we look back at his-

tory, the greatest leaders never stooped to instilling fear in their citizens. At the height of World War II, Winston Churchill inspired courage, Roosevelt stated, “We have nothing to fear but fear itself” yet our PM has a majority of Canadians shaking in their boots. Geo Bush’s lies gave us the war in Iraq. Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to convince the world that the Iranians are but a brief moment away from making the bomb though their own

Kudos to chief building official Dear Editor, Re your article - City Council discussions re Building Code, Cramahe. The Chief Building Official of Cramahe, Ms. MorozCornell, is to be commended for her efforts to get new home builders to adhere to the Ontario Building Code (OBC). This Code exists to protect us all, and those builders who want to “improvise” and bend the rules are putting the most vulnerable party, consumers, at risk.

S

We have highway traffic regulations to make the roads safe for all, and those who think themselves above the law and bend the rules put everyone else at risk. Why have an Ontario Building Code at all if you’re not going to enforce it? All builders are equal before the law, but some think they’re above it.

intelligence agencies have stated that this is far from the case. Now Stephen Harper would have us believe there is a jihadi behind every bush and no Muslim is to be trusted, though many have tried and failed to put the government onto radicals in their midst. It’s all so familiar. Dehumanize a certain group, for example Jews, First Nations people, blacks, and you allow bigotry and hatred to take you to places no civil society should go. When Harper came to power, he said, “Give me a majority and when I’m finished you won’t recognize Canada.” And hasn’t he just done that beyond his wildest dreams. He’s rammed through so many odious policies in huge omnibus bills, which virtually none of his MPs admitted to have taken the time to read and after little or no real debate. Bill C-51 is the icing on the cake. With little to no oversight by an underfunded CSIS and RCMP, he will have taken away our last vestige of rights, contravening the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. And with an underfunded military, he sets out poking the Russian bear, threatening to do God knows what in Libya, Iraq, Syria and the Ukraine. There was an amazing article in Ma-

clean’s this week on the New Leader of the Free World, Angela Merkel. How is her leadership described? Never a whiff of scandal, modest, hard working, consensus seeking, practising diplomacy, involving her partners, etc., etc. That is leadership and it is sorely lacking in this government of ours. Political correspondent Miriam Lau makes an interesting point. Merkel, she states, “is governing by reason, and around her she sees male helplessness. Obama’s call to arms (as well as Stephen Harper’s) is a sign of helplessness, because the US feels its power slipping away. The same goes for Putin. He has no economic strength. His country is falling apart. But he does have military might and that’s what he wants to use.” Is this a man we want to continually provoke? Really Mister Harper? So we’re heading for an early election in the hopes that Canadians won’t have time to figure out just how much they have surrendered in Bill C-51, to a government that does not have their best interests at heart. I can only hope we will not let him succeed in this endeavour.

the Downtown Revitalization Initiative and the Branding Initiative. But wait, this motion goes further and demands from staff a specific report of “all municipal funds including grants, loans, or any and all other funds spent on the Downtown Revitalization, Brighton Creative Trades Centre, and Branding Initiatives.” So let me get this straight: council cancels all of the main elements of its Economic Development Strategy effectively wasting all of the investment in time and treasure; and then they would compound the insult to staff, volunteers and taxpayers by having more staff time and money wasted on a specific report. Such a report might serve some political purpose for the sponsors but it will do nothing to advance our community. Three months in we continue to see projects cancelled and directives given to staff but are yet to see a vision and plan from our new council. We live in interesting times. Dave Cutler, Brighton

OPINION

Murder in Moscow Editorial - “Every time I call [my mother],” said Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov recently, “she gives me a talking-to: ‘When will you stop being rude about Putin? He’ll kill you.’” Nemtsov Gwynne Dyer is Now dead: four bullets in the back as he was walking home in Moscow with his girlfriend on Friday night. The protest march against Putin and the war in Ukraine that he was planning to lead on Sunday became a memorial march instead. So, two questions. Did President Vladimir Putin order the assassination? And if he didn’t, then who did, and why? The hit was carried out with professional skill only three minutes’ walk from Red Square, St. Basil’s Cathedral and the Kremlin, in an area that is infested day and night by militia (police) on constant alert to break up demonstrations. You could put together a feature-length film with the footage from the countless CCTV cameras that tracked Nemtsov’s walk across the square and down to the bridge where he died. It took accurate intelligence to know where Nemtsov would be on Friday night, and serious organisation and planning to carry out the killing in such a heavily policed area. That points to members of the military or security forces, though not necessarily to ones who were acting on official orders. Because the first thing to say about this murder is that it did not serve Putin’s purposes. No doubt the Russian president disliked and despised Nemtsov, but neither he nor any other opposition leader posed any threat to Putin’s power. Thanks in large part to his seizure of Crimea and his military intervention in eastern Ukraine, Putin is currently enjoying an 85 per cent approval rating with the Russian public. Why risk upsetting this happy relationship with the first public killing of a senior political figure in more than a decade? It’s much more likely that the killing was carried out by serving or former soldiers or intelligence officers, who took it upon themselves to eliminate an “anti-patriotic” politician who condemned “Putin’s War” in

Ukraine. In the superheated atmosphere of nationalist paranoia that currently prevails in Russia, such people could easily imagine that they were doing just what Putin secretly wanted. As for the rest of the world (or at least the “western” part of the world), it has already written Putin off as a man you can do business with. The Russian leader is, in many Westerners’ eyes, an expansionist warlord who can only be contained by sanctions and threats. It may even take a new Cold War to stop him. Paranoia, alas, is a communicable disease. The Western narrative that seeks to explain how, in less than a year, we have arrived at a point where the United States is contemplating supplying heavy weapons to Ukraine to kill Russian troops, has several large gaps. The first is that the revolution on the Maidan in Kiev last winter overthrew a legitimately elected Ukrainian president only a year before the next elections were due. Putin initially accepted that outcome (with the elections moved up to only one month in the future), which was brokered by the European Union. In other words, he accepted the illegal overthrow of the proMoscow president, Viktor Yanukovych, so long as free elections followed rapidly. Quite possibly because he thought Yanukovych’s supporters in the east might boost him back into the presidency again. That same thought may also be why the revolutionaries in Kiev broke the deal and insisted on Yanukovych’s immediate removal from power. It was only then that Putin concluded that he was faced with a Western plot to whisk Ukraine into NATO and create a strategic and political threat on Russia’s southern frontier. There was no such plot: NATO has not the slightest desire to assume responsibility for the defence of Ukraine. But there was a great deal of open Western rejoicing at Russia’s discomfiture, and Putin lost his customary cool and responded with the annexation of Crimea and then the encouragement of proRussian rebels in southeastern Ukraine. “Absolute power corrupts absolutely,” said Lord Acton. “All great men are bad.” In that sense, Putin is a bad man, and more dangerous for being both paranoid and increasingly isolated. (His circle of advisers has dwindled to a handful of hawks.) But he is not planning to conquer even Ukraine, let alone the rest of the former Soviet empire, and he almost certainly did not order Nemtsov’s death.

Inclusive language is okay, but let’s call a spade a spade By Stephen Petrick
 Editorial - I was at an assignment recently when I let out a slip of the tongue. I asked an organizer how much “manpower” was involved in her event. “Human power” she corrected me, causing me to laugh nervously. I apologized and assured her I had no bad intentions; it was just a figure of speech. Truthfully, I have no qualms with people who lobby for more gender neutral language or what the Hastings & Prince Edward District School Board calls “inclusive language.” Some posters distributed by the board recently are calling for more inclusive language and were recently the subject of an intense social media debate. The posters encourage people to use terms such as “police officer” as opposed to “police man” or “chairperson” instead of “chairwoman” or “chairman.” This message, I believe, is well intended and it probably didn’t deserve all the negative feedback it received. But at the same time I understand some of the criticism because, at some point, you have to call a spade a spade. There’s nothing wrong with saying a “policeman” came to my house if the police officer was, you know, a man. One could argue that, for the sake of not being sexist, a person should say “quick, let’s call a police officer” instead of “quick, let’s call a policeman.” But that would be kind of stupid. In an emergency, who cares about such political correctness. Maybe my view of this is biased because I write words for a living and believe in good ol’ plain speak. I wonder if it’s really necessary to call someone “hearing impaired” if they are, by technical definition, deaf. And is it wrong to use the word “blind” instead of visually impaired?

Labels we give to people change over time, sometimes for good reason, and sometimes because of political correctness gone awry. Several years ago, when I flirted with the idea of a teaching career, I found myself taking a course on special education in New York State. I was shocked when the instructor used the word “mentally retarded.” I thought that word had been banished in Canada years ago, in favour of terms like “developmentally delayed.” But in some parts of the United States, I learned, it was still a common term (at least at that time)–I even found it in a text book, too. I’m not going to defend the use of the term “mentally retarded.” To me it sounds hurtful. But the fact that it was still commonly used in one area of the world, long after it was deemed insulting in another, says something about how appropriate language is ultimately just a judgement call. To be fair, retarded was once the new term used to stop labels such as “slow” or “imbecile.” But eventually it received a negative connotation and had to give way to new terms like “special needs” or “developmentally disabled.” And those terms will eventually have to be replaced–if they haven’t been already–with new terms, once they’ve been used for so long that they’ve ruffled the feathers of a few people the wrong way. The process will continue forever. My point is that there’s little use in fretting over what words should be considered appropriate or inappropriate. In many cases, the right answer is simply in the eye of the beholder and it’s based on their experiences. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be careful. Words can be hurtful, especially when they’re used at clearly the wrong time in clearly the wrong way. But sometimes they’re just words and they’re meant to be taken literally.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

More of the usual Liberal hypocrisy

Dear Editor, Liberal hypocrisy is stunning. The comment comes in respect to a recent Independent article “Difficult task ahead for hospital in trying to balance budget.” The provincial government has all the hospitals in Ontario on a balanced budget order, which is not a bad thing, but coming from this deficit-loving regime it’s a joke of the century. Why is it that this corrupt government under Premier Wynne seems to believe the health care system should be restricted to a sensible spending plan when the government itself has spent more and wasted Distribution Inquiries 613-966-2034 ext 512

more taxpayer dollars than any other jurisdiction in North America with the exception of Obama’s socialist White House? If this government was not guilty of all the scandals and the staggering amount of money it represents every hospital in Ontario, including the one here in Campbellford, could easily be allowed to spend another 25 per cent in support of patients instead of threatened staff layoffs. Better still, why doesn’t the Wynne regime set an example by balancing its own budget? Seems to me the hospitals are actually showing the Libs how to be frugal considering

Campbellford will probably end up with a deficit of $20,000 on an $18.6 million operating budget for the 20142015 fiscal year. If only the Liberals had a similar record, they wouldn’t be the subject of such condemnation. Now at a time when the province can least afford it, facing a catastrophic deficit, the Wynne administration is pushing through a new sex-ed program for kids that will cost additional millions. And you thought all the insane people were in a mental hospital. Rolly Ethier, Campbellford

Councillor John Martinello to clarify his point about other avenues mentioned earlier. He said residents could go to the police, labour board, etc. Green said that he was told the only avenue residents have is to take it to the courts. “And the comment was ‌ you better have really deep pockets.â€? “Well, I guess that’s the case then,â€? Martinello said. “You’ve answered your own question.â€? Brighton council has put the hiring of a new public works director on hold until they research whether Northumberland County can provide engineering services on an interim basis. In her report to council, CAO Gayle Frost said that the

position is responsible for a large portfolio. “The manager of planning and manager of environmental services can adequately handle their departments and seek advice and support from the CAO where required,� Frost said. “There will, however, be a gap in the engineering side of the operations, which is necessary to ensure that municipal engineering design and construction standards are met. This is particularly concerning as we will be heading into our development season soon, and it could take two to three months to fill the position.� She recommended contracting engineering services on a parttime basis until the vacancy is

filled. Councillor Steve Baker said he wished to defer any decision until it could be determined if Northumberland County could provide the services. Resident David Green asked what impact this decision would have on the municipality in regard to the development up at the 401 and 30 ‌ the proposed McDonald’s, convenience store and Shell gas station. “I think I can say to that, at this time, we’re anxious to hear what support we could potentially receive from the County and at what cost,â€? Walas said. “Failing that, we will address Plan B.â€? There was no mention of what Plan B would be.

Colborne man charged with failing to comply News - Grafton - A Colborne man faces 25 charges as a result of a complaint police received February 27 about a possibly impaired driver in the Grafton area. After Northumberland OPP received a report at 8:30 p.m. about a van being driven at excessive speed and going through a stop sign without stopping, officers located the

vehicle on Orchard Grove Road. The driver was administered a roadside test which led to his being arrested and taken to the Cobourg OPP detachment for further tests. Police learned the man had been the subject of several court orders (recognizances) prohibiting him from consuming alcohol and operating a motor

vehicle as well as imposing other conditions. Shawn Chiplick, 36, was charged with care and control of a motor vehicle while impaired, care and control with a blood/ alcohol concentration of more than .08, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, and 21 counts of failure to comply with a recognizance.

Inadvertent recording deleted By Joyce Cassin

News - Brighton - A legal opinion obtained after CAO Gayle Frost inadvertently left the recorder on during the lunch break gave council the go-ahead to delete that portion of the tape. According to Councillor Steve Baker, the recorder allegedly picked up a private conversation between two members of council, he being one of them. Although the legal opinion did not find that any illegal action took place, “because the

conversation did not take place in what could be considered a council meeting, there would be no requirement to make or keep any record of what amounts to a private conversation.” Brighton signs new dispatch contract Fire dispatch is likely going to be looked after at the county level, but that doesn’t help Brighton, whose current dispatch contract expires at the end of March.

Fire Chief Lloyd Hutchinson told council that the county Request For Proposal went out in January, and they expect to award the contract sometime in the spring, with the changeover to begin in the fall. Meanwhile, TAS Page Communications has agreed to extend the Brighton contract for a year, with a three-month termination clause, rather than the standard six, at a cost of $34,475, said Hutchinson.

WCPC plan expands A recent decision by council to hire a third party to oversee the operations of the wastewater pollution control plant has been expanded to include deadlines for ammonia removal projects. CAO Gayle Frost recommended council add the list of projects to the RFP, and provide it to any interested parties. There was a special meeting called for Thursday, March 5, to deal with any questions, although Frost said there were

a one-time alleviation of the problem, but it gives them the opportunity to come together to create a useful plan. “There are still changes coming,� she said. “We are not in a growing region. We have to talk to staff and unions next week who will hear it first directly from us. This will impact staff.� She said TMH remains open with a 24-hour emergency department and current services. However, the provincial deficit is for years to come. “There will be changes on an annual basis,� she said. However, she assured everyone that management and the hospital board want four hospitals and 24/7 emergency departments to remain. “Health care is an emotional issue,� she said. “What we need is the best long-term solution. We know there will be changes, but we have to be creative. We have to look at everything: primary care, clinics, hospice, the whole spectrum.� John Smylie, TMH Foundation chair, said this is the best news he has heard in a long time. Lou Rinaldi added that TMH has been his hospital too, for 35 years, and not to leave Brighton out of the picture. Our TMH committee cochairs Betty Clost and Frank Barry said they were reas-

sured that the emergency rooms would remain open. They want to keep as much in Trenton as they can. A question was asked if money raised for TMH would get moved to Belleville hospital. John Smylie said they make sure that money and equipment stays in our hospital. “Our mission is for TMH only,� he said. Mary Clare Egberts noted that the 2015/2016 budget will have no further changes, but they still have to announce how they managed to save $7 million across all four hospitals. That will come next week. Lorraine O ’Quinn said they need to look to Napanee hospital that is in the black and ask how they do it. Lou Rinaldi said there are seven hospitals in the South East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) and they need to look at them all together. Steve Baker, a councillor from Brighton, said his town is 100 per cent behind TMH. They feel there is a real disconnect

The fight continues to preserve Our TMH By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - Mayor Jim Harrison is not convinced that the recent funding announcement is all we can do to preserve our hospital.

West” plan for the services and needs in the hospital and in the community.” Jim Harrison says, “Be positive. We have made progress.” Robert Quin adds, “Yes, be positive, but don’t be fooled. Thanks to a small group of determined and dedicated people, we just might win the fight. We have made progress!” Lorraine O’Quinn notes that on <gofundme.com/ mzyejo> monies donated will be turned over to an Our TMH account. The funds raised will cover the expenses incurred for promotional materials to support the campaign in saving our hospital services. Sylvia Reddom added, “We all have to start giving back more to these great health professionals and health institutions, and not just ask what they can do

for us. We all have a lot to do yet about this. I, for one, am impressed by how many folks care enough to step up. Let’s keep this ball rolling in the right direction and not just at election time.” Andy Axhorn said, “I have always thought that some of these places would be unable to function without their volunteers. My wife volunteers at the hospital and has done so for several years, and as a member of the Trenton Lions Club, I have just started a fundraiser for the hospital. We do what we can, but the waste I am talking about is horrendous. Ajax Hospital was rebuilt in the mid 1980s. Thirty years later, there are still parts of it that have never been opened. Why build them in the first place? Whitby hospital was shut down when it was only about ten years old. Some

of the planning that is done could better be done by a five-year-old kid.” Ben Colangelo noted, “We are a small city and I have to imagine we won’t see most of this money. There’s lots of waste in government and cutting other places will definitely help balance the books, but that brings us back to how do we funnel that money to our hospitals? It sounds to me that the funding formula will need to change or we need to find a way to turn it in our favour. Perhaps a large population growth would allow us funding to keep up with the ever-increasing costs of healthcare that we will see as our population ages. This would mean longer wait times, but less need for services being cut. I looked at our population growth in this area compared to across Ontario and it doesn’t look

News - Brighton - Northumberland Ontario Provincial Police media relations officer, Stephen Bates, says two incidents that took place on Friday, February 27, may be related. At about 2:30 p.m., someone threw what turned out to be a smoke bomb into the front entrance of the Royal Canadian Legion Brighton Branch 100. OPP and the Brighton fire department were called in to determine the cause of the smoke. Fire Chief Lloyd Hutchinson said the hallway was filled with smoke, and they quickly determined the cause. According to Bates, two men in their 20s, wearing dark clothing, were seen in the area at the time of the incident. Shortly after 11 p.m., a similar incident occurred at the entryway to the apartments above Dr. Gordon Hall’s office. Police and the fire department were called to the scene and after setting up to fight the fire, it was determined it was another smoke bomb. Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspects. If you have any information, please contact the Brighton OPP office at 613-4751313 or Crime Stoppers.

“We must continue to work directly with many other groups to convince them to support what the residents of this area believe should be provided at TMH,” he says. “We will not be fooled. We also must work positively to attract doctors and in order to achieve that we have to meet certain objectives established by our chief of staff. We can do it!” Elaine Palmateer agrees with Harrison. She said MPP Lou Rinaldi asked the Ministry of Health to ensure the doors stay open at the hospital and the ER continue to operate 24/7, with no cuts to patient services and no bed closures. “Done,” she affirmed. “Now we have the time and the opportunity for some community leaders, including the chairs of Our TMH, to sit down with QHC and help develop a “made in Quinte

“What is the best way to choose a RealtorŽ?�

Oftentimes Sellers and Buyers realize that the RealtorŽ they are working with is not the best fit for them. Unfortunately when they do so, time has passed without being able to sell or purchase their desired home. To avoid this, keep in mind the following points when choosing an agent: s Interview several RealtorsŽ: Ask them key questions such as whether they work part time or is committed full time to the real estate business; what kind of track record they have; whether you can speak with past clients directly and the agent’s list-to-sell ratio; s Marketing strategy: Marketing has evolved through the years and online marketing is now fundamental in order to successfully expose a house to the highest number of Buyers; s Beware of the “team� idea: A common complaint among Sellers and Buyers working with realty teams is that they only see the team leader the first time they meet and then they are delegated to a team member who they don`t necessarily know. Working with an individual Realtor means that the person you decide to work with is the person you will be working with; s Market Value: Ask yourself whether the price you are given is based on honest, unbiased and proven information. Stay away from anyone giving you a high price in order to get the listing; they must be able to back up their price with comparable sold listings; s Trust your gut feeling: Ask yourself whether you feel comfortable with the agent and whether he/she will care about the transaction as if it were his or her own. Watch for busy agents who won’t be able to commit to selling your home. Thinking about selling or buying? Call me. I will be happy to further explain how my approach may help you to buy or sell your home.

Handicapped youth enjoy specialized skiing Sports - Batawa - Seven young people have enjoyed skiing at Batawa this winter despite their disabilities. “We have kids from ten to fifteen years old,� says volunteer skiing instructor Austin Watts from Quinte West. The program called Track 3 has been in Batawa for the past five years. It started in Ontario in 1972 with the Easter Seals program and in 1987 became the Ontario Track 3 Ski Association for the Disabled. It is called Track 3 because the equipment includes a sit-ski with one track in the snow and two outriggers attached to help keep the child upright. Mandy Scarr from Brighton has been bringing her 15-yearold son Nick to Batawa for the

past few years. He has cerebral palsy but loves to ski on the hill with the help of volunteers, even skiing down Ol’ Smokey, the steepest of the slopes. “He loves it,� she says with a smile. There is a waiting list for young people to get into this program, dependent on the number of volunteers. Braden, ten, is one little guy who enjoys the snow, despite the cold weather. Bundled up in his sit-ski and with an interpreter at his side to communicate for him, he goes up the Bambi slope with his volunteer Austin Watts and zooms down to the bottom. Halfway down he goes sideways and falls face first in the snow. He looks delighted. “We teach them how to fall,�

explains Austin. “That’s all part of it. You have to love snow!� He says the youngsters develop a passion for the sport which gives them a sense of freedom they don’t have in everyday life. “They are all different,� Austin says. “It’s a great group.� Austin has been volunteering for the past five years at Batawa and is an avid skier . Someone approached him to help out, and he has been involved every since. “It’s incredibly worthwhile,� he says. “It’s great. It’s a lot of fun. The kids are so appreciative. Everyone is genuinely happy. It’s a beautiful thing.� Austin says the volunteers are incredible too. They are each matched with one child and are trained specifically to help that type of disability. For instance,

with Braden, the volunteer needs to learn how to set up and work with a sit-ski, a highly technical piece of equipment. Fundraising from the province-wide organization helps pay for these skis and there is no charge to the participants. Austin says each volunteer builds up a level of familiarity with the child. “You get to know the cues of the child, if he is enjoying it or not,� he adds. “You can tell if he is frustrated or very excited, or if he is chilly, or tired or hungry. The instructors work together and are very tuned into each other to help out. The parents help too.� Volunteers get their initial training at Batawa in the first season, but it takes three seasons to be fully competent. More advanced training takes place at Collingwood. The program starts the third week in January and runs twice a week, on Wednesday and Thursday nights to the end of February. People can go to the website <www.track3.org> to find out more. “It’s an amazing program,� Austin says.

We are committed to offering a quality recreational skating program at a reasonable cost to all skaters; ensuring that all families have the opportunity to participate despite financial limitations

Three Maples hosts first tap of spring 2015

This is the newest evaporator Harry Dennis has installed at his Three Maples Sugar Camp between Marmora and Madoc. The modern evaporator requires two people to work on the processing. Photo: Margriet Kitchen

By Margriet Kitchen

News - Marmora - The Three Maples Sugar Camp, operated by Harry and Janet Dennis and family, was the scene of the prestigious event celebrating the start of the maple sap run for this

year. Each year, a different member of the Quinte and District Ontario Maple Sugar Producers Association (OMSPA) is selected for the honour to host the first tap. On hand to perform the official “tap-

ping” were invited dignitaries, Prince Edward-Hastings MP Daryl Kramp, Marmora and Lake Reeve Terry Clemens, and Centre Hastings Mayor Tom Deline. Many other associated maple syrup

producers, family, friends and neighbours were present to be given a tour of the facility, enjoy a visit before the busy tapping season, and a delicious pancake and syrup brunch. Chris Koopmans, president of the Quinte and District

Maple Syrup Producers, presented a plaque of appreciation to Harry Dennis for hosting the first tapping of 2015. The Three Maples operation taps approximately 2,000 trees total in the Quinte area, including the home farm at Old Marmora Road between Madoc and Marmora. Harry Dennis has been tapping maples for over 43 years, starting with the sugar bush his grandfather worked just across the road from the present location. Harry has worked the present location for the past 30 years. The maple syrup produced at Three Maples is worthy of being called world champion. This was proved at both the Royal Winter Fair, where the Three Maples Sugar Camp won a first place, and Harry’s proudest accomplishment in 2010, of first place for their Canada No. 1 light, over all other entries from the North American Maple Syrup Council. In 2008, the Dennis’ operation burned down, and they had to start again from scratch–a daunting task. Harry was surprised when a fundraiser was held to help in re-building the structure and the business. Donations were made, a silent auction was held, and the result was that the family was able to rebuild. Local businesses donated raw material, and services, friends helped in many practical ways, and today, the Three Maples building is decorated with original tools, and lots of vintage photos, and lovely paintings of sugaring scenes. A cozy wood stove puts out a welcome heat to the delight of those with chilled fingers and toes. The sugar shack of today is a hightech operation. The new evaporator at Three Maples is a forced air wood-fired model; others may heat with pellets, oil, or even electricity. Harry prefers the wood heat.

to an air flow system, and top quality insulating features, the burning is accomplished without any gasses or smoke escaping, only the steam from the evaporator escapes into the cool spring air from the roof of the “shack.” Harry and Janet welcome those who would like to see the operation first hand. Call 613-473-2521 to arrange a tour. OMSPA is made up of maple syrup producers in the province with approximately 400 members. Ontario produces the second largest volume of maple syrup in Canada, following Quebec. At present, it is estimated that only four per cent of Ontario’s viable sugar bushes are tapped. Much of the Crown land in Ontario contains excellent sugar bush potential.

Marmora and Lake Township Reeve Terry Clemens drills the tap hole for the gathering of maple syrup at the “2015 First Tapping Ceremony” held at Harry and Janet Dennis’ Three Maples Sugar Camp on Saturday, February 28.

39th Annual Presqu’ile Waterfowl Weekend Events - Presqu’ile - The Friends of Presqu’ile Park are pleased to announce that after the coldest February on record, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. 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 38 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 2015 with the 39th annual weekend on March 14 and 15, 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 ďŹ nd 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.â€? 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 and photography. The Lighthouse Centre will feature photography and art displays by Lynda Barber and Sherrie Greig. Of course the Friend’s Gift Shop will be open. Plan on entering our spring rafe for great Bushnell optics. The Friends will also host a barbecue, where lunch, hot drinks and snacks can be purchased starting at 11 a.m. “The barbecue 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,â€? 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 who appreciate nature,

families and individuals alike. The only cost involved is a $10 per vehicle park entrance fee. Seasonal and annual park passes also honoured for entry. Proceeds from this weekend will go toward The

Friends’ projects in the Park. We hope to see you there. For more information call 613 4754324 ext. 225 or email <david.bree@ ontario.ca>.

Women Entrepreneurs program seeks applicants News - A group that supports women entrepreneurs is hoping some Quintearea women will apply to participate in a mentorship program that’s been dubbed a “mini MBA.� The Forum for Women Entrepreneurs (FWE) is hosting its 14th annual E-Series mentorship program in Vancouver, April 8 to 10. For women entrepreneurs across the country this is an opportunity to grow their business, learn from successful mentors and de-

velop new business relationships. The FWE is offering 23, $2,500 grants to women entrepreneurs across Canada, with support from Teck Resources and KPMG. These grants cover programming, inclusion in the Mentor Program for 14 months of one-on-one mentorship, and travel and accommodation costs. E-Series is the FWE’s longest running signature program, and can boast that since 2002 89 per cent of all par-

ticipating entrepreneurs are still in business, compared to the national Canadian average of 50 per cent. Inspired by MIT’s Birthing of Giants program, E-Series has been attended by notable women such as Judy Brooks, co-founder of Blo Dry Bar, and Caterina Fake, founder of Flickr.

New member inspires others to write about why they volunteer with Friends of Ferris

By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - Friends of Ferris relies on its volunteers and the newest member hopes others will consider joining this non-profit group which has seen a dramatic decline in its numbers. At its peak the organization had 150 volunteers but that number has dwindled to about 30 people who dedicate time and energy to park events and activities.

“I chose to be a board member of Friends of Ferris [FoF] because I am passionately committed to nature and land to wander in,” said Marcia Perryman, of Hastings, who joined Friends of Ferris about a month ago. A hiker and a skier “with a love for camping in a tent,” she sees this as an opportunity to connect with other people with similar values and share the work involved.

And she hopes others might do the same so she hopes to get their message out by explaining why other board members joined asking them to write down why they like being a volunteer with FoF. Barb Hogan, president of FoF for the past eight years, said, “I was motivated to become involved … as my husband and I both love the outdoors and were looking to be involved with the community.”

Friends of Ferris (FoF) President Barb Hogan and her husband Bob are at one of the newer trail head signs they installed, just one of the projects the group of volunteers has completed in the past at the provincial park. A drop in membership numbers has prompted a new volunteer to help promote FoF by asking others to write about why they like being a volunteer with the group. Kite Day on May 24 kicks off the summer season of events. Photo: Sue Dickens

She said her presidency “is a humbling position when you are surrounded by such an eclectic and enthusiastic group of volunteers … I truly believe that Ferris is a natural jewel in Trent Hills and should not be taken for granted.” Many of the other volunteers agree that the love of the outdoors is what started them on their path to volunteerism with FoF. Sandy Chapman, secretary, is one of those volunteers. “I love helping out at all the projects put on by the Friends. I’ve met such wonderful people and consequently made good friends and learned so much about nature,” she wrote. “Volunteerism is critical for our society and this is one of the

B4 Section B - Thursday, March 5, 2015

ways I volunteer.” Carol Robertson joined about ten years ago and wrote, “As the board vice president I was determined to participate in activities designed to promote visitors.” She organizes the Spring Nature Walk, Fungi Walk, Trillium Walk and is chair of the dry stone wall workshop. “Working with Friends of Ferris, collaborating with the Ontario Parks staff and other groups is productive and invigorating; ensuring that visitors discover and enjoy the ever-changing and unique features of the park is … wonderful,” she wrote. Marlaine Bennett, also a volunteer, wrote, “I joined and

got actively involved in 2001 with the Friends of Ferris Park. Our family loves to hike and spend time outdoors enjoying nature so when I know a couple of people were a ‘Friend of Ferris’ it motivated me to look into getting involved …. “Friends plays an important role in bringing more campers to the park by increasing the number of sites with power, trails improvements and kiosks, better signage, new benches, fire grates and fun park events.” For her FoF is, “Great with the other ‘Friends’ [volunteering] for a common goal.” For more information about FoF or to join go to: <http:// www.friendsofferris.ca/friends. html or call 705-632-0894.

TRAVEL

A visit to Portugal ’s enchanting Sao Miguel Island in the Azores Lifestyles - Every Christmas, I plan and give a trip to my wife, and this year I thought it was time for us to do something a little different. Instead of visiting the southern U.S., Mexico, or another Caribbean island, I decided to plan our first visit to Portugal ’s Azores, which is actually a group of nine volcanic islands located in the Atlantic Ocean, about 1,300 kilometres west of Portugal ’s mainland. Our particular trip would take us to the largest and most heavily populated of this archipelago: Sao Miguel. I ’d found a great deal on the Internet via Travel Zoo <www.travelzoo. ca>, with a direct flight from Toronto to Ponta Delgada on Sao Miguel via SATA International, their airline; it included our accommodations at Ponta Delgada ’s popular Lince Azores Hotel <www. thelince-azores.com/en>. Therefore, we found ourselves in this intriguing European destination just this past month. Indeed, it ’s winter in Europe now, too, but these islands are blessed by a mild maritime climate, so the temperature is usually between 14C and 25C year-round. We discovered we were visiting in “windbreaker weather,” for it was about 15C daily, or higher, so a light jacket was sufficient, and it was rather perfect for golfing, hiking, or touring around. We also discovered we were there during their annual Carnival, so we enjoyed seeing the school children in their fancy costumes, and we even became avid spectators during their traditional “Water Balloon Battle.” I found this particular event so fascinating I hope to write an entire article about it just prior to next year ’s Carnival. We did a lot of walking and exploring in Ponta Delgada, and Marion particularly enjoyed shopping for souvenirs for our grandchildren. We also discovered several enchanting, old, narrow alleyways, magnificent churches, informative museums, striking monuments, and a wide, spectacular promenade that took us along the picturesque harbour area. We decided that other not-to-be-missed attractions here included the beautiful 18th century

City Gates, the Central Market, the inner almost dangling from the steep hillsides. city parks, the Micaelense Theatre, the Another feature was that some of these 16th century St. Bras Fort, and the cattle were actually milked right in the Military Museum of the Azores.

LIFESTYLES The Good Earth: Lifestyles - Gentle Reader, I am excited to let you know that my friend Tom Ogren has put out a new book. Tom is a most interesting fellow. His academic credentials are impeccable as is his meticulous research methodology. Tom is not some in-house writer for the chlorotic yellow pages of a lurid mail order catalogue; his body of work is professionally acclaimed and rather extensive. (As an aside, his western novel, Shadow Box Canyon, does put you in mind of Jim Mayo and Lucky Starr; his California songs and vocals will have you digging out your old Leonard Slye 33s.)

The Allergy Fighting Garden

I came across Tom’s writing in 2004 when he published Safe Sex in the Garden. Who among you, Gentle Reader, could resist that title? I was fascinated to read the connection Tom was making between the overuse of male, aka “clean” plants in our landscapes, not only in residential and commercial sites but also in our municipalities. You can read my review of that book in the archives of this paper. When the Kingston Lung Association hosted that city’s Spring Fling, I used Safe Sex and other writings as the basis of my talks. I clearly remember, earlier that year,

handling a large shipment of Brown’s Yew (Taxus x media “Brownii”) in full bloom; the pollen that arose in dusty clouds was impressive and soon had me coughing. I became a believer in Tom’s theories and we were soon corresponding. Over the years, Tom has moved from theory to fact with an overwhelming body of research. This is the book that puts everything together; this is, in my opinion, one of the most important gardening books to be published in decades. Really. The Allergy Fighting Garden is divided into two parts: Creating an Allergy Fighting Garden and

Probus Club honours special month News - Campbellford - Fun, friendship and learning, are the basic objectives of the Probus Club of Trent Hills. Probus Canada, the association representing 240 Probus Clubs across Canada has declared March as Probus month in honor of the first Probus Club in Canada formed March 17, 1987, in Cambridge, Ontario. Steve Campbell, past president of Probus Canada says, “Probus is a local, national, and international association of retired people who came together in non-political, non-profit , nonfundraising autonomous clubs which provide regular opportunities for members to meet others in similar circumstances and similar levels of interest, make new friends, and maintain and expand their interests.” The more than 150 members of the Probus Club of

Trent Hills embody the Probus definition. The monthly meetings at St. John’s United Church hall are filled with the lively conversation and laughter of friends coming together. The excellent speakers each month have informed, motivated and entertained the membership on a wide range of topics from health and history to our local hospital and community foundation. Club members have participated in trips and activities

from visiting CFB 8 Wing in Trenton, the Canoe Museum in Peterborough, birding in Presqu’ile, Cirque du Solei in Oshawa, to book clubs and scotch tasting. Past President Bill Hogle says, “Probus is filling a real need in Trent Hills of providing a venue that brings together an amazing range of talented people in our community to make friends, share experiences and have fun. Probus is one more reason that Trent Hills is a great place to live.”

the Allergy Fighting Plants. Part One introduces the reader to the dangers of pollen when it is present in overwhelming quantities. We get a quick but in-depth lesson of the types of flowers and where you might find them. Did you know that some flowers are male, others are female and others include both genders? Further, did you know that some plants carry only male flowers, some only female and some both? We learn how to identify trouble-causing plants and where they will likely exist in the landscape. In part two, we learn the OPAL system, a method of rating the severity of the health issues a particular plant’s pollen can cause. Then there are 180+ pages of rated plants. Mind you, Tom has travelled the globe extensively and the plant list reflects this. Doesn’t apply to you? Think about some of the tropical plants you pick up during the dreary days of winter. What follows is the

review that I posted on the Amazon and Barnes and Noble websites. Although I have often been asked to post reviews here, I have done so only twice for Tom and for Donna Dawson. I have turned down many similar requests. The Allergy Fighting Garden is the culmination of decade’s worth of research with the single goal of making our communities healthier places in which to live. As you read this book you will sense Tom Ogren sitting beside you; his writing style will engage you in conversation as you progress from simple botany lessons to the working chapter, selecting plants that will fit your landscape and your health. The comprehensive OPALS rating system is nothing short of brilliant. (By the way, that male yew has a rating of ten, the highest.) This is a good book but, more to the point, this is an important book. There is no longer any doubt about the direct correlation between male plants and

allergies. There is no longer any doubt about the direct correlation between allergies and the danger to health. If you talk to a nursery person or landscaper who discounts this concept, move on. Invite them to read this book, but move on. Tell them you’ll consider doing business with them once they have read it. I see this book as an important piece of the home library, a tool for the professional and a textbook for the educator. At the moment, GR, you can find this book only on line at either Amazon or Barnes and Noble. A quick check of the Chapters site was fruitless; perhaps they will consider carrying it.

evening’s musical competition with a set that charmed the audience and judges with her “flawless and natural country voice delivering hauntingly original songs.” Caleb and Megan started playing together as Instant Rivalry (IR) while attending high school.

Use common sense on ice News - Marmora - Central Hastings OPP has issued the following reminder. A few Marmora residents have expressed concerns for the safety of snowmobilers travelling on Crowe Lake near the mouth of the river as well as near Beaver Creek. Members of Central Hastings OPP would like to remind snowmobilers that no ice can be considered 100 per cent safe to ride on when snowmobiling on frozen waterways. Adhering to land-based Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) prescribed trails whenever possible offers the safest snowmobile terrain. They provide many trails that avoid water crossings altogether as well as bridges and culverts to pass over known water crossings safely. If you do make the personal choice to take the risk of travelling on ice by snowmobile, wait until a marked stake line is in place and cross only when you can follow it directly from shore to shore, without stopping on the ice. While ice crossing is never a sure thing, snowmobilers can also reduce their risk by: • checking ice thickness and quality before riding onto any frozen water; • understanding that ice conditions may vary from day to day, from hour to hour and from place to place; • never travelling on ice alone, at night or while impaired; • avoiding slushy ice, untracked ice, or ice near moving water or dock bubblers; • watching out for obstacles like rocks, stumps, docks, ice roads and fishing huts; • wearing a buoyant snowmobile suit and carrying ice picks. The OPP is committed to saving lives on Ontario’s highways, trails and waterways through the reduction of preventable injury and death.
