Figure skater overcomes ankle injury to advance to provincial championships
By John Campbell Brighton - Madeline Patenall’s dream of competing at the nationals for figure skating this winter ended in September when she broke her right ankle in a fall during practice. Off skates for two months, she couldn’t recover in time to compete at a qualifying Skate Canada sectional event so the 16-year-old Grade 11 East Northumberland Secondary School student set herself a new goal: winning the 2016 Skate Ontario Championships. Patenall cleared the first hurdle by topping the field in the Gold Women – Free Program at the Eastern Ontario STARSkate Invitational Championships held in Whitby, where she is a member of the local figure skating club. “As soon as I got off the ice I just knew that I had done so well that I was Madeline Patenall worked hard to recover from a broken ankle she suffered last September to win going to get good marks,” she said. “It the Gold Women-Free Program at the Eastern Ontario STARSkate Invitational Championships in was just an amazing feeling.” Whitby.

Patenall, who underwent surgery to have a plate installed in her ankle, still sees Ditmars every so often to have her look at her ankle and “make sure everything is okay.” She also gives Patenall pointers. “From day one she’s always been right there helping me recover,” she said. “It’s definitely helped me grow as an athlete.” Patenall said she’s “really excited” to be going to the provincials in Sudbury March 18-20. “It’s going to be a great experience.” Her coach has her mentally and physically prepared. “I’ve been skating better than I ever have,” Patenall said. She goes to Whitby five to six times a week to practise between eight and 10 hours. She also does three hours of off-ice training. Patenall still has her eyes set on the nationals next season and being a coach further down the road. “I’ve always liked teaching kids how to skate and passing on my passion,” she said.

she had accomplished. It had been only “a couple of weeks before the competition” that she felt ready enough to perform her threeminute program for the judges that consists of six jumps, three spins and a spiral sequence. Her score of 36.39 was four points better than her closest rival among the 10 skaters in her class. Patenall, who began figure skating in Frankford at the age of four, joined the Whitby Figure Skating Club last year. Her coach is Karen Savoie. “We have a connection I haven’t had with a coach before,” she said. “She knows how to work with me in a positive way and get me motivated.” She also had help from another mentor, Sarah Ditmars, head therapist and fitness and conditioning coach with the Trenton Golden Hawks. She was there when Patenall suffered her injury in a fall at the Duncan McDonald Memorial Gardens that “completely changed everything” for her. “I had to refocus all my goals,” she said.

Underpasses installed at Presqu’ile to make crossing road safe for turtles
By John Campbell
Brighton – Man, a turtle’s worst enemy, is also its best friend, at least at Presqu’ile Provincial Park, where staff, researchers and Friends are doing their utmost to protect the creatures from being run over. They’re doing it by building an artificial turtle nesting mound, erecting fencing and installing tunnels at two locations. Providing support through funding, The Friends of Presqu’ile Park is helping out nature while keeping it accessible to people to demonstrate the two can exist in harmony, president Steve Sinclair said. It fits in with the organization’s focus on education and environmental initiatives, and its vision statement, “where people and nature interact.” According to data collected as part of a research project begun four years ago by Ontario Parks and Sean Boyle, a PhD student in Laurentian University’s boreal ecology program, 10 to 20 turtles, as well as 100 to 200 snakes and more than 2,000 frogs are killed each year on Presqu’ile’s main road. The solution was to install a pair of underpasses to reconnect the habitat of turtles – snapping, painted and Blanding’s – that had been severed by the road. “The entire project is about $300,000,” Sinclair told members of Brighton Rotary at their meeting March 4. Its donation of $25,000, from the Henry Hayes Memorial Fund the club has established, is helping with the initiative. Friends also hopes to obtain an additional $25,000 from the Species at Risk Stewardship Fund. The group, which has committed $34,000 to the project, wants “to make sure the project is done and is done well,” Sinclair said. Work is to be completed this year, with research to continue into 2017 to determine if the solution rec-
ommended by scientists “has been as effective as they anticipated.” Two kilometres of fencing have been installed, to guide the reptiles to the underpasses, with two more kilometres to follow. “If we didn’t do the fencing it would be a mediocre project,” Sinclair said in an interview. “The Rotary club stepped right up and that was terrific.” “It’s a great project, over five years to make it happen,” said Pete Alker, another member of Brighton Rotary president Patty Parmentier presented a cheque for $25,000 to Steve Sinclair, president of The Friends of Friends. Presqu’ile Park, to bolster the group’s efforts to reduce the number of turtles killed each year on the park’s main road. Photo by John Campbell

Colborne man guilty in $6M drug bust A Colborne man charged with smuggling millions of dollars worth of drugs in a tractor trailer across the U.S. border pleaded guilty to the charges recently in a Windsor courtroom. Wayne Douglas Rutherford, 63, was caught at the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor driving a transport carrying more than $6 million dollars worth of cocaine and methamphetamine in August, 2013. Meanwhile, the trucker is facing charges of drug conspiracy in Quebec. News reports out of Windsor say he intends to plead guilty to those as well. Rutherford has been free on bail and returns to court in June. No sentence date was available.
Northumberland’s Recycling/ Upcycling Queen By Victor Schukov There is no way around describing Lianne Snow. She is a Renaissance woman, a versatile artist drawing from both the right and left sides of her brain. Born in Port Hope and schooled in Oshawa, she set up a brilliantly eye-catching and quirky art show room in Colborne, four years ago. Talk about interesting, Snow has more layers than an onion: painter, writer, psychologist, hypnotherapist, goldsmith, singer, touring toastmaster, hands-on ecologist and ex-coast guard auxiliary! (I know I missed a few.) “Art is fundamental to my purpose in life,” says Snow, “but my interests are geared towards the humanities and advocacy, sticking up for people.” Intersecting substantial talents, makes her both resilient and resourceful. “The best part about dreaming (in a Renaissance sense) is that you can walk around an idea, and see how to overcome a problem with both an en-
gineering and an artistic eye. I am an eclectic designer.” You know that there is something extraordinary going on the moment you step into her century old studio: A spectacular dress made entirely out of aluminum pull tabs, a gothic cathedral mosaic made of seemingly holographic rainbow-spreading CD cutouts, and a simulated Japanese maple tree sculpture with pop can flakes for leaves with ingeniously painted trunks made from fabric roll bolts. Each leaf is attached by a copper wire from the rotor of a defunct washing machine motor. In turn, she transformed the machine’s perforated (chromed) drum into a glasstopped coffee table with an internal lamp throwing light all over the room. All of the pieces are stun-

ning. Get the picture? Her theme is to create along the path of zero waste; an artistic designer who practises ecological good conscience. Snow says, “It’s actually upcycling. I inspire the question, When you throw something away, where does it go? My end game is to convince people of other ways to dispose of waste. Even aluminum pull tabs require a lot of energy to turn them into soup. The only power that goes into making my three-pound dress is human energy.” It all borders heavily on person-
ized philosophy: “In the most esoteric terms, everyone is just looking for some peace and joy but how you get there is the key. I pay attention to what lights me up. My goal is to learn to live according to my values which means a lot of experimentation.” And that’s where humanistic advocacy enters her life’s calling. She lives in a way that demonstrates to others the possibilities of doing things differently, to affect change in people’s hearts. To this end, Snow has been skill-building all of her life. “Between your head where the declaration starts and your feet which get you going, is your heart. So, live by example to expand your circle of influence,” says Snow. She believes in the possibilities of a whole world of self-expression. Devoted to the support of art, Snow was also a board member of the former Brighton Arts Counsel, actively involved in promoting their Hundred HeArts fund raisers. She loves the county, having lived here most of her life. A consummate multi-tasker, she is currently planning both a how-to upcycle book and a memoir of her eclectic journey. Snow summarizes it best: “There is a difference between making a living and making a life.” Check out the Recycling Queen’s Pop Art show room on 80 King Street East in Colborne and go to her website at Creativerecyclingworks.com.

MFRC Invisible Ribbon Gala honours Commonwealth airmen
Those people wishing to attend the Trenton Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC) fundraising gala this year had better get their tickets early. MFRC gala chairperson Major Leo Phillips is predicting this 12th effort will be the biggest and best ever, and that tickets will be snapped up very quickly. “I’m predicting this will be the biggest, best and most successful we’ve put on,” he stated. “We’ve really tweaked it from last year and this is going to be the big one.” This organizing committee has been working hard behind the scenes and for them to predict that they will be bigger and better after producing their best effort last year means they are expecting support like never before. There is a reason for that. Taking place on May 7 at the National Air Force Museum of Canada, this year’s gala is themed around the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP) with a 1940s theme that will add atmosphere to the event. “We received good feedback from people who attended the gala over the years and the theme will add interest this year, something that people will really enjoy and remember,” Maj. Phillips indicated. “We’re not increasing our numbers - we’re still going to stay around 300-plus - but
the big change is décor and focus. The BCATP back in the 1940s didn’t have a program to take care of families, so we’ve come a long way and this is to demonstrate that and that we’re getting better every year.” One hundred per cent of proceeds from this year’s gala will go to support the two expansion sites in Belleville and Frankford/Batawa, according to Devon Taylor, MFRC communications and development co-ordinator. The committee has made a conscious decision not to increase attendance beyond the 310 mark so the event does not become too crowded in their magnificent venue at the museum. “We want to leave room for people to be able to mingle, to get up for the silent auctions, the live auctions and just to socialize during the event, which will feature MajorGeneral D.L.R.
Wheeler, 1 Canadian Air Division (1 CAD) Commander, as the guest speaker,” said Taylor. Early bird ticket sales begin on April 1 online and at the Trenton MFRC office after which ticket prices will go up. But Maj. Phillips cautions people that the demand is expected to be high and tickets may not be available for long. It’s a point Stefani Wolf, the special
events coordinator for the MFRC, confirms. “I have a half a dozen corporate tables already reserved,” she noted. “Based on success we had last year, we expect the early bird tickets to do really quite well, so they should be purchased quickly to avoid disappointment,” Maj. Phillips stated. Auction items are already beginning to come in and it is expected
that this fundraiser will generate the usual excitement surrounding some of these very unique packages and items. Last year’s first online auction attempt was so successful, it will be held again this year from April 21 to May 2.

OPINION
In China: Another Chairman Mao? Opening the National People’s Congress in Beijing last Saturday, Prime Minister Li Keqiang set China’s growth target for the coming year at 6.5-7 per cent, the lowest in decades. Only two years ago, he said that seven per cent was the lowest acceptable growth rate, but he had to eat his words. Gwynne Dyer has He really isn’t in charge of very much any more. The man who is taking charge of everything, President Xi Jinping, is now turning into the first one-man regime since Deng Xiaoping in the 1980s. The “collective leadership” of recent decades has become a fiction, and Xi’s personality cult is being vigorously promoted in the statecontrolled media. Xi has also broken the truce between the two major factions in the Chinese Communist Party, who might be called the “princelings” and the “populists.” Xi, as the son of a Communist Party revolutionary hero who ended up as vice-premier, is princeling to the core. His centralising, authoritarian style is typical of this privileged breed. The populists, like Li Keqiang, are generally people who grew up poor, usually in the interior, not in the prosperous coastal cities. They rose to prominence more by merit than by their connections, and they are more alert to the needs of vulnerable social groups like farmers, migrant workers and the urban poor. Most of them have come up through the Communist Youth League, and are known in Chinese as tuanpai (“the League faction”). Frightened by the non-violent demonstrations that challenged the Communist Party’s monopoly of power in 1989, for almost three decades these two factions have carefully shared power and never attacked each other in public. Xi has now broken that non-aggression pact, authorising open attacks on the “mentality” of the Communist Youth League in the media. The friction between the factions has grown so great mainly because the Chinese economy is stumbling towards a crisis. Neither faction has a convincing strategy for avoiding the crisis, but each has come to believe that the other’s political style – authoritarian for the princelings, populist for the tuanpai – will make matters worse. The Communist Party’s dictatorship is founded on an unspoken contract with the population: we will provide constantly rising living standards, and in return you will not question our authority.

But no economy can grow at 10 per cent a year forever, or even at the currently advertised rate of 6.5-7 per cent. In fact, China’s growth rate actually collapsed about seven years ago, but it has so far been hidden by a binge of debt-fuelled investment. When most of the world went into a deep recession after the financial crisis of 2008, the Chinese regime artificially kept the country’s growth rate up by raising the proportion of GDP devoted to investment in infrastructure to an incredible 50 per cent. In the following five years, China was building a new skyscraper every five days. It built more than 30 new airports, subway systems in 25 cities, the three longest bridges in the world, more than 10,000 km (6,000 miles) of high-speed railway lines, and 40,000 km (26,000) miles of freeways. Tens of thousands of high-rise residential towers went up around every city. But the new towers remain largely empty, as do many of the freeways. These are investments that produced jobs at the time, but will not produce an adequate return on investment for many years, if ever. And to finance all this, the government let the country’s debt burden explode, from around 125 per cent of GDP in 2009 to 220 per cent now. All of this investment has been counted in the GDP figures, but up to half of it, or maybe even more, is bad debt that will eventually have to be written off. If only half of it is bad debts, then China’s GDP growth in the past five years has really been around 2 per cent, not 7-8 per cent. The crisis can be disguised for a while longer by printing more money, which the regime is doing. But that is putting downward pressure on China’s currency, the yuan, which is currently overvalued by around 15-20 per cent. Devaluation would give a temporary boost to China’s exports, but it could also trigger an international trade war that would drag everybody’s economy down. So at the moment China is spending $90 billion in foreign exchange each month to keep the value of the yuan up, but even with its immense foreign exchange reserves that is an unsustainable longterm policy. Sooner or later there is going to be a “hard landing”, and the regime’s very survival may be at risk. There is no evidence that President Xi Jinping has a better strategy for mastering this crisis than the rival faction, but the storm is obviously approaching and he is battening down the hatches. In his view, that means taking absolute power and building a personality cult of a sort that has not been seen in China since the demise of Mao Tse-tung. He is certainly not a vicious megalomaniac like Mao, but he clearly believes that he will need total control to get through the storm without a shipwreck.

Why Thomas Martin’s story should never be forgotten Editorial - Stephen Petrick
The image I’ll always remember of Thomas Martin is from seeing him at a Loyalist College basketball game in December 2014, not long before the Belleville boy turned 10 years old. The school’s athletics department held a fundraiser to help his family deal with the financial hardships that came with his cancer treatments. Thomas told me he wasn’t really a basketball fan, but was making an exception that night. He smiled as he mingled with players and fans. He posed for a photo with a group of students, all wearing bright yellow shirts that said “Together We’re Stronger” and “Team Thomas.” He stuck out amid the yellow shirts, as he was wearing a grey sweatshirt and his head was completely bald from chemotherapy treatments. Yet he was grinning from ear to ear. It was also a pleasure speaking with Thomas’s parents Charlene and Robert that night for a second time, as I had met them at another fundraiser months earlier. They too were smiling and thus, in my mind, the whole family had become an incredible example of how to stay positive and upbeat in the most heart-breaking of circumstances. Thomas was battling Gilomatosis cerebi, a rare cancer of the brain. Everyone around him was praying it wouldn’t be terminal, but it was. I’ve been in the newspaper business a long time and have had to write about some horrible things. But I can’t ever recall, literally, being in tears as I wrote a story for the Belleville News about Thomas’s death on Feb. 29, at age 11. “With a heavy heart, I’m sad to say our warrior has passed away,” Charlene wrote in a Facebook post that day. “Thank you everyone for your love and support. You were our sunshine, we will miss you so much.” To try and make sense of why an 11-yearold had to die of cancer seems like an im-

possible task. It doesn’t make sense; the world is clearly an unjust place at times. But dealing with grief, mitigating sadness, and attempting to find joy in most tear-filled situations, well maybe that’s possible if you look into the story of Thomas’s life and his last few years. Charlene and Robert have graciously shared many details of Thomas’s life, through a public Facebook group that has more than 1,500 members. Those who’ve followed his story can see that Thomas was a bright, smiling boy who was full of life. They can also see the incredible humanity that’s shown to kids in his situation and families enduring battles with cancer. From the time of his cancer diagnosis in 2014, Thomas and his family had the opportunity to sit in the front row at a Toronto Maple Leafs game and meet players, drive in Lamborghinis, visit Disney World and be the guest of honour at a fundraising music show in Belleville. This was all courtesy of several different charities, businesses and groups that just wanted to put the smile on the face of a young boy facing a challenge that most of us will never understand. A funeral for Thomas was held last Friday morning at the John R. Bush Funeral Home and a celebration of his life followed at the Greek Hall that afternoon. His family requested that people dress up lively and brightly, as that’s what he would have wanted. “Thomas would like us to be happy and have a smile on our faces much the way he did in life,” Charlene wrote, when announcing the details. Even after his death, Thomas continues to show that in this life there are many more reasons to smile than to frown. (Thomas’s family has asked that people wishing to make a donation in his name, contact Ronald McDonald House or the Hospital of Sick Children. The funds will be directed towards brain cancer research).

3. “I don’t go to the dentist because I am scared to death”. Dentistry is not like what it is used to be. There are so many newer types of numbing agents that can help minimize anxiety and discomfort. Things like Nitrous Oxide, so called laughing gas, and other medications can be used to help patients feel at ease during appointments. This is known as sedation dentistry. Lasers and air abrasion technology can even reduce the need for needles and drills for certain cavities.
Dr. Brian Ho is a practicing general dentist in Trenton, Ontario. He can be reached at Trenton Family Dental, 613.394.3883. For further information and discussion, please visit his office at www.trentonfamilydental.com. 8 Brighton Independent - Thursday, March 10, 2016

6. “I don’t go to the dentist because I am going to get dentures later anyways”. Remember, dentures and partials are NOT true replacements for your teeth. Dentures alone are non-fixed plastic plates that attempt to replace your teeth that are typically solid and anchored in your mouth. Also remember that having dentures means that you now have to think about what you can or cannot eat. Ideally, it is best to avoid dentures if at all possible

that are used to correct problems resulting from oral diseases. For example, the cost for 10 – 20 preventive cleanings and check-ups is similar to the cost of fixing only one tooth with a toothache. People who spend the least amount of money in a dental office tend to be those who see their dentist regularly.This is why most insurance companies pay 80 – 100 percent of preventive treatments; they realize that in the long run, less money will be spent if people see their dentist

As dentists, we see many different types of patients in our day-to-day practice. Many of these patients are well aware of the importance of oral health as part of an overall healthy lifestyle. However, occasionally we encounter some patients who avoid going to see their dentist for many different But again, the more regularly reasons. Here is a list of some you go to see your dentist, the less likely you will need larger common reasons: complex treatments. 1. “I don’t go to the dentist because nothing is bothering me” 4. “I don’t go to dentists because A lack of discomfort does not every time I go, my dentist finds a mean a lack of disease.

“Becoming an accredited chamber holds us to a set of accountabilities so that we can ensure that you get the maximum return for the dollars you invest in being a chamber member,” he said. To achieve its goal, the chamber will work on governance, advocacy, membership programs and services, organization and administration and strategic planning. It will also join the Canadian Chamber of Commerce “to strengthen our presence at the federal level,” Hamilton said. There are roughly 75 chambers across Canada that have been accredited, 33 of them in Ontario. “It’s gaining in popularity,” Hamilton said after the March 3 meeting. “It just seems like the next natural step [to take].” Accreditation confirms the chamber follows certain rules and guidelines, has a strategic plan that sets a direction, and gives members a “sense of security” that their dollars are being “spent wisely,” he said. “It’s less about growing our membership [and] more about formalizing and strengthening what we’re doing.” The board of directors will be “establishing policies that determine how to advocate on your behalf,” by sending out surveys and requesting feedback, Hamilton said. The chamber will launch its new fourseason tourism campaign and website at the Hastings Field House March 21. “It is especially important that we show our support for Hastings this year,” Hamilton told the meeting, because of the “challenges that community is facing right now” while work continues on replacing the bridge across the Trent River. The event, featuring foods from local eating establishments, is free, and “we encourage you to visit the businesses while you’re there,” he said. Hamilton said the chamber is “excited” to be a part of three revitalization committees, in Campbellford, Hastings and Warkworth. Each community has its strengths but “there are times that we all need to pull together and work with each other,” he said. “We can act as that conduit to bring all those groups together,” providing feedback as well as receiving it. The chamber has scheduled a special general meeting for March 31 when members will be asked to vote on a bylaw that brings the organization up to date with the current Corporations Act and sets “the structure for how we move forward,” Hamilton said. Chartered professional accountant James Williamson said 2015 was “a fairly successful year” for the chamber as it finished almost $9,000 in the black. The chamber bid farewell to four of its members: Schelle Holmes, Camille Edwards, Mark White and Brian Redden, who had served on the board for 15 years.
High school’s next musical promises to be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious By John Campbell Brighton – Let’s get this out of the way right off the bat: Bert the chimney sweep won’t be dancing with penguins. There’s a reason for that. The Mary Poppins that East Northumberland Secondary School will be performing next month is the musical that was written for the stage after P.L. Travers’ popular series of children’s books had been turned into a classic film by Walt Disney in 1964, starring Julie Andrews as the title character and Dick Van Dyke as Bert. You will get to hear the movie’s songs, however, that became hits, such as Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, A Spoonful of Sugar, and Chim Chim Cher-ee. And will Mary fly? You’ll have to find out for yourselves because producer Phillip Kinzinger’s staying mum, “I don’t want to give out any spoilers,” he said. Marlisa Hows, 18, said she feels “so honoured” to be playing Poppins, the nanny with the magical abilities who helps members of the family she works
for “find out who they need to be.” Hows “has a very strong voice and definitely matches the bill of what we’re looking for” in someone to portray Poppins, Kinzinger said. The twice-a-week rehearsals began in late September. Hows “can’’t believe it’s gone so fast” and now it’s a “bit nervewracking” as [they] get closer to the show dates” -- April 28-30 and May 5-7. Kyler Tonkin, who plays Bert, says the dance numbers are “a big challenge” because “dancing was never a strong suit” of his but he and Hows have been taking dance lessons to prepare themselves for their first lead roles. Tonkin, 17, was a “fantastic” choice for the role, “he’s very much a young Dick Van Dyke,” Kinzinger said. Christian Hodge, 17, plays Arthur Banks, the stuffed shirt who firmly “believes in things running a specific way” and “learns to love his family again and be [a] loving father,” said the student. All three had roles in the school’s last musical, The Sound of Music, and have been involved for years with commu-
nity theatre, such as the Stirling Festival and Northumberland Players. The musical is being directed by drama teacher Paul Hussey, as he has done since the late 1990s. For world studies teacher Kinzinger it’s his fourth play as producer. East Northumberland chooses to stage musicals every second year “to showcase the voices” of its talented students, many of whom go on to study music and stage production in post-secondary institutions, he said. With 34 cast members and dozens of students involved behind the scenes or as members of the pit band, “probably one of every 10 students ... at the school has a hand in this production,” along with “one of every five staff members,” who are being helped by retired teachers as well. The musicals are “a big deal,” Kinzinger said, costing “upwards around $50,000” to stage. Tickets are still $15 for adults and $10 for children 12 and under, to keep them “as accessible as possible” despite rising
costs. Shoe Store in Brighton, Downey PharThey go on sale in mid-March, at macy in Colborne, and Brunix Jewellers ENSS, Rock, Paper Scissors and The in Trenton.

Flag raised at St. Mary’s to promote awareness of Special Olympics in Ontario By John Campbell Campbellford – The Knights of Columbus Special Olympics Flag Relay made its way to St. Mary Catholic Elementary School last week. The flag is one of six being taken around the province as part of a five-month relay to raise public awareness as well as funds for the Special Olympics Provincial Games that will take place in the Durham Region June 1-3. “This is a pretty important day at St. Mary’s school and parish,” Principal Virginia Marini said. “We’re so excited we got chosen to be part of the Flag Relay.” She expressed hope in her prayer that all those who hear about the Olympics “grow in compassion and understanding of the potential of all people, regardless of their challenge.” Rick Stankiewicz, Knights of Columbus District 29 deputy, said the relay was introduced in 2011 to serve “as an umbrella for everything” that the organiza-
tion does on behalf of the Special Olympics, which it helped launch in Chicago in 1968. The following year the first Canadian Special Olympics was held in Toronto, drawing 1,400 participants. The Knights of Columbus are the world’s number one supporter and promoter of Special Olympics, having donated $500 million and countless volunteer hours over the years. Last year members raised more than $3.5 million and contributed in excess of 107,000 volunteer hours, he said. Sarah Todd, the Northumberland co-ordinator for the Special Olympics, said the provincial organization provides sports training and athletic competitions for 20,000 athletes with intellectual disabilities, from 1,900 clubs. They’re supported by 10,000 volunteers. About 300 athletes from Ontario competed at the Special Olympics Canada Winter Games that took place last week in Corner Brook, Newfoundland-Labrador.
Also taking part in the assembly were Special Olympics Ontario district developer Stacey McKeown and Olympians Tyler Smith and Tom Rousseau from Cobourg. Trent Hills Councillor Rosemary Kelleher-MacLennan said “one of the most wonderful experiences” she has ever had was serving as a volunteer at a Special Olympics skiing event. She was impressed by the teamwork and dedication shown, and “the spirit was just infectious.” Every time she goes skiing now, she has “a renewed sense of being inspired” to do better for herself and for others, she said. Marini closed out the assembly by noting the school and St. Mary’s are “really inclusive,” as all students “are together in the classrooms.” “We really believe that God has given every person a special talent,” and the Special Olympics are a way to bring out that talent and to realize the potential Jim McKay and Rick Stankiewicz, Knights of Columbus District 29 deputy, raise the Special Olympics flag in a special ceremony held at St. Mary Catholic Elementary School March 3.

Therapy dog owners raising money to complete their uniforms By John Campbell Trent Hills – Members of the Trent Hills Therapy Dogs Inc. already look sharp making the rounds of nursing homes, schools and retirement homes dressed in black but they want to add jackets to what they wear. “A uniform makes us more visible in the community, presents a professional look and elicits interest in our cause,” says Carol Ferguson, the group’s president. Since setting out on their own in 2014, the Trent Hills group has worked on fashioning one for visits and for group activities at parades and festivals. They’re looking to raise $2,000 to purchase 20 uniforms that will either be black or silver. Previous fundraising efforts and generous donations covered the cost of obtaining shirts for members and scarves for dogs that carry the Trent Hills Therapy Dog logo.
“We are now eager to provide our members with a jacket to complete the uniform,” Ferguson said. Requests were sent out to area service clubs and to date the Campbellford Kinsmen and the Warkworth Community Service Club have responded with donations of $500 and $200, respectively. The group has 19 handlers who volunteer their time to regularly visit seniors, shutins and other groups or individuals in Campbellford, Warkworth, Norwood and area “who need or desire the companionship of a dog.” Stops include Campbellford Memorial Hospital, Community Living and VON Havelock. Ferguson said the group averages about 50 visits a month. The dogs are all sizes, breeds and ages, she said. Ferguson has “a golden doodle” named Lucy she takes to a nursing home whose resi-
dents are “so eager to be able to pet a dog, talk to her [and] talk to me.” When the pair leaves, they thank them for coming. “They’re so appreciative, it gives them so much joy,” Ferguson said. “They’re more alert because they have interacted with a dog. It’s wonderful to see.” Therapy dogs must pass “an extensive evaluation with high standards to determine that their behaviour and personality are suited to visiting publicly,” she said. “They bring joy, acceptance and love into the places they visit. They foster a sense of caring and community to those in need through the companionship of a dog.” Trent Hills Therapy Dogs welcomes dog owners in the community who would enjoy working as a team and go on visits with their pet. Those interested are invited to contact Carey Elliott and Robert Watkins, representing the Campbellford Kinsmen, presented a cheque for $500 to members of the Cathy Fisher at <trenthills.

Final Notice of Study Completion
Trent River Crossing and Arterial Road Network Municipal Class Environmental Assessment in the Municipality of Trent Hills On June 18, 2014, Northumberland County Council endorsed the recommendation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) study to: 1) build a new bridge across the Trent River in Campbellford between Second Street and Alma Street, and 2) plan to replace the existing Bridge Street bridge at the end of its structural lifespan in about 30 years. This EA study was completed in accordance with the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act, following the approval process for Schedule ‘C’ projects under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment. Following the public review period from September 4, 2014 to November 3, 2014, the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (the Ministry) received nine (9) requests asking the Minister to issue a Part II Order for the project to comply with Part II of the Environmental Assessment Act. In response, the Ministry directed that additional work be conducted to complete the EA in accordance with the EA Act. This included further consultation with potentially interested Aboriginal communities, and further consideration of archaeological resources and impacts on heritage properties. This work has now been completed and reported to the Ministry. The Environmental Study Report – Revised dated December 2015 has been available for public review on the County web site. The Revised Final dated February 2016 is also available on the County web site. The recommended design endorsed by Northumberland County for the project remains as: • A new two lane bridge with sidewalks, plus left turn lanes at the terminal intersections, extending from the intersection of Grand Road and Alma Street on the west side of the Trent River to Second Street near Front Street South on the east side, to be designed to meet the river crossing requirements of the Trent-Severn Waterway; • Signalization of the Grand Road/Alma Street intersection; • Realignment of Saskatoon Avenue under the east side of the new bridge; • Geometric changes to Alma Street and Simpson Street South including minor widening where required and construction to urban design standards; and • Eventual replacement of the existing two-lane Bridge Street bridge at the end of its structural design life, estimated to be approximately 30 years. By this Notice, the Environmental Study Report – Revised Final has been placed on the public record. Subject to comments received as a result of this Notice, plus the detailed project design, Northumberland County confirmation of project funding and receipt of all necessary permits and approvals, the project may proceed to construction. The period for public review and comment on this Report – Revised Final extends to April 18, 2016. The Report - Revised Final is available for public viewing through the Northumberland County website below and at the following locations:

If concerns regarding this project cannot be resolved in discussions with Northumberland County, a person or party may request the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change to make an order for the project to comply with Part II of the Environmental Assessment Act which addresses individual environmental assessments. Previous Part II Order requesters can either submit a new letter requesting a Part II Order based on the Revised Final Report dated February 2016, or submit a letter stating that their previous Part II Order request remains valid. Requests for a Part II Order must be received by the Ministry at the addresses below, no later than Monday, April 18, 2016. The request to the Ministry must also be copied to the County’s Project Manager identified below. If no request is received, Northumberland County intends to proceed with next steps for the design and construction of the project.

Best years of author’s career in nursing spent on top of the world By John Campbell Brighton – Gloria Hunter-Alcock was a nurse “at the height of the Cold War” in more ways than one. Itwas the 1960s, when tensions between the world’s two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, were at their peak – and Hunter-Alcock was stationed at Tuktoyaktuk in the Northwest Territories, right next to a radar station that was part of the DEW (Early Warning) Line that stretched across Canada’s Arctic region. She spent two years there before taking an Outpost Nursing program at Dalhousie University, which led to her opening the first nursing station in Resolute Bay on Cornwallis Island in 1969. It was 60 miles east of the North Magnetic pole. Those years in the North produced a rich harvest of memories that remain vivid to this day but they were only that until a friend told her to stop talking about the “fantastic stories” and to put them in a book. She did, in a book called “Nurse at the Top of the World” that she selfpublished in 2010.
Now in its third printing, the books can be purchased at Lighthouse Books in Brighton. Hunter-Alcock recently gave a reading at the Brighton Public Library that provided a fascinating look at her years spent treating the Inuit, then known as Eskimos. They benefited from her knowledge and the medicine she provided but she also learned from them. Hunter-Alcock said nurses “were encouraged to discourage” native medicine practices among the Inuit but she had no issue with local midwives and medicine men continuing to provide their services. “I always thought we should encourage it because we may be smart but they’ve lived a long time too,” she said.During her time there, she discovered the nursing station was haunted, fought off the amorous advances of a skirt-chasing doctor who travelled the DEW Line, and attempted to remove a rotten tooth from “a man known for his cruelty” who terrified her. “The whole thing exploded into a million fragments, leaving nothing to grab onto,” Hunter-Alcock said. She gave him some very strong painkill-
ers and told him to take them with drugs, [it was] not too happy a place.” “Most of my friends were there,” she whisky.“I did not want that man mad- She went around to the graveyard. said. dened with pain coming after me,” she wrote, and “off he went leaving me limp as a wet dish rag.” She subsequently arranged to have him flown to a hospital where the tooth was removed. Hunter-Alcock, who’s now 80, retired when she was 65, after 40 years of nursing. Her time in the Arctic “were the happiest years of my life,” she said. She visited Tuktoyaktuk several years ago and discovered the community had fallen “on hard It took a friend telling Gloria Hunter-Alcock to quit talking about her experiences as a nurse in the Arctic and to put them in times, there was a writing to get her to write “Nurse at the Top of the World.” The Napanee resident read excerpts from her book at the Brighton lot of drinking and Public Library recently.

Cramahe recognizes passing of Citizen of the Year and Community Builder Colborne – Doug Rutherford, a prominent businessman whose work in the community earned him a Colborne Citizen of the Year award, has died at the age of 86. Cramahe Township recognized his passing at Northumberland Hills Hospital March 3 by keeping its flag lowered at the Colborne Town Hall. It had been lowered days earlier to mark the death of another prominent member of the community, Carl Wilce. “Doug was much loved [and] respected by those who knew him,” Mayor Marc Coombs said in a statement. “It was a real honour to be able to present him in 2013 with the Inaugural United Way Community Builder Award for his lifetime of volunteerism and community leadership. He will be greatly missed.” Mr. Rutherford co-founded a local transportation company and was an original partner in the Big Apple. But he “was most known for his strong support for the community and his many hours volunteering on a range of projects throughout the village and surrounding area,” the township said in a news release. Northumberland United Way CEO Lynda Kay described him as “a driving force in the community enabling Cramahe to have the resources and servic-

es to support local residents,” when she presented him the George Blyth Community Builder Award. He was “a quiet leader ... always looking to help the community in a selfless way and as such, others naturally gravitate[d] to help out as well,” the organization stated in announcing his being chosen for the award. It noted Mr. Rutherford was “actively involved in Old St. Andrews Presbyterian Church, working on various fundraisers including the interlocking brick project.” He was a provincial Bicentennial Medal winner in 1984 for his community work and volunteering, and an honorary member of the Colborne Kinsmen Club. Mr. Rutherford was involved with many other groups as well. A funeral service was held in Old St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Colborne March 7. Mr. Rutherford is survived by his wife Aileen, four children -- Wayne Rutherford (Nancy), Linda Walas (wife of Brighton Mayor Mark Walas), Debbie Rutherford and Greg Rutherford (Susan) – five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. It was suggested that any donations be made to Northumberland Hills Hospital Foundation.

Bylaw amended to better deal with problem of dogs that are constantly noisy By John Campbell Trent Hills – The municipality has amended its bylaw to regulate and control the keeping of animals to deal with a “persistent issues” it has with noisy dogs. The changes include adding a definition: “’Usual noises likely to disturb’ shall mean be persistent noise by any dog at any time that is allowed by any person or dog owner.” Councillor Rosemary Kelleher-MacLennan asked if the municipality has received a lot of complaints. “We’ve had some,” director of planning Jim Peters replied. “This will help us deal with enforcement and [doing] better when we go forward with charges.” There have been “issues around barking dogs so we’re trying to have more consistent wording,” that is “likely [to be] more acceptable” when charges are brought before a judge, he said. Peter said staff looked at “our processes” to see if they are “as good as they can be” and
they also consulted other municipalities to find examples of charges that were thrown out because of their wording. “Not saying we have anything imminent,” he said, and there’s nothing currently before the court, but there has been a “persistent problem” with the owner of two dogs in a rural area where there are “buildings close together.” It’s a problem that has gone on for years which “we’re struggling to deal with,” Peters said. “This situation led us to look at trying to do better with enforcement or explaining maybe there isn’t really a problem here after all. “We’re just getting the bylaw cleaned up so that if we have situations we stand a good chance” in court, he said. “Sometimes our citizens don’t understand [and ask] why can’t you do something about this ... We want to make sure that when we explain why either we can or can’t do something, [they know there’s] a process that we have to follow.” “It’s just all part of governing well,” Mayor Hector Macmillan said.

Community Living Campbellford/Brighton establishing community hub residential model
Campbellford - Community Living Campbellford- Brighton has initiated steps to identify candidates for the Community Hub Residential Model (CHR Model) underway in Northumberland County in partnership with Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH). In August 2014, the Minister of Community and Social Services announced that Community Living Campbellford/Brighton would receive $400,000 over two years to create, in collaboration with CMH, a centralized “hub” of support and services for aging individuals with intellectual disabilities that will allow them to continue living independently in rural areas. “This initiative recognizes that there is a growing number of seniors with intellectual disabilities and developmental services must evolve to better serve them. The project aims to assist people who require a significant level of support but don’t necessarily need someone with them for 24 hours a day,” explained Nancy Brown, executive director, Community Living Campbellford/Brighton. The organization has begun the process of identifying the six candidates selected from the existing residential wait list who meet the predetermined criteria for support. Appropriate candidates will be identified through a provincial process with Developmental Services Ontario. Ideal matches for this CHR Model are people who meet the following criteria: have immediate needs requiring higher levels of support and more frequent assistance than the typical Supported Independent Living Program can provide (i.e. people who require approximately 15 – 24 hours of support per week); do not require the medical monitoring of 24 onsite supervision that would be provided in a group home or long-term care home.
The CHR Model is designed to allow direct support professionals based in a central hub to provide predetermined booked hours of support, as well as spontaneous support on a 24 hour basis, for people in numerous housing locations within a 20 km radius of the hub. Available supports include, but are not limited to financial management, help managing an apartment, assistance with all activities of daily living and developing community connections. “Campbellford Memorial Hospital is pleased to be partnering with Community Living Campbellford/ Brighton to assist in providing ‘wraparound’ care and other services for eligible CHR candidates. Our intent is to ensure that comprehensive support is provided to people with intellectual disabilities as well as aging caregivers. We anticipate a role for the Geriatric Intervention and Assessment Network (GAIN), Trent Hills Family Health Team, the Campbellford and District Community Mental Health Centre and other community-based organizations,” stated Brad Hilker, president and CEO, Campbellford Memorial Hospital. It is anticipated that the innovative Community Hub Residential Model will prevent premature admission to long-term care, reduce avoidable emergency department visits, improve care and quality of life, assist people in finding affordable housing and increase capacity to meet the needs of people on the residential wait list. “This project recognizes that the CHR model is an ideal residential support option for a large number of people with intellectual disabilities who require a level of support that falls between the Group Home Supported Independent Living programs,” concluded Nancy Brown.

surreal dreamlike air”. Honourable Mention went to Julie MacDonald of Warkworth for her painting entitled “Canada’s Wonderland”. The judge said “the painting is bursting with vital colour and motion, a wonderful overlap of colour using acrylic on paper.” Best Photograph was won by Carey Campbell Dinkel of Warkworth. Campbell described her photo as, “A captivating composition, beautifully organic with branches like tendrils. The branches assume human forms – very visceral.” Honorable Mention went to Tom Groot of Grafton for his photo “High on a Windy Hill”. The judge said that the photo was “a striking image ... timeless forms of rolling hills and shadows with the sky cutting through. It also has contemporary energy with the turbines”. Best 3D/Mixed Media winner was Georgina Schaeff of Warkworth for her sculpture “Woman of Summer”. Campbell observed that the Plaster of
Paris and clay sculpture of a woman seated was, “wonderful and brave with a bold fusion of materials, wonderfully textured. She exudes a physical presence.” Honorable Mention went to Suzanne Towns of Campbellford for her fibre piece called “Lichen 4”. The judge said, “It’s beautifully organic, softened material, a wonderful fusion of organic life form and a functional vase.” A gala reception will be held Friday, March 11 from 7 – 9 p.m. at the Ah hall and winners will receive their prizes at that time. The show is held in conjunction with Warkworth’s Maple Syrup Festival and will showcase the entries on Saturday, March 12, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday, March 13, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Ah! Centre. “We’re trying to capture the crowds that come to the maple syrup festival each year. Last year we had about 800 people that came through the hall,” Hopkins said.
Warkworth – Four winners emerged from the 16th annual Maple Syrup Festival Juried Art and Photography Show hosted by the Spirit of the Hills Northumberland Hill Arts Association. “We had 75 entries, 28 artists and from that the adjudicator chose the 48 which will be on display at the Ah! Arts and Heritage Centre this weekend,” said Judy Hopkins, who has been involved with the show for the past eight years and took over the role of chair for 2016. “We had artists enter from throughout Northumberland County from Cobourg, Port Hope, Baltimore, Grafton, Castleton, Hastings, Warkworth and Campbellford “This was a member juried show so all are members of Spirit of the Hills.” James Campbell, curator and executive director of the Visual Arts Centre of Clarington, was adjudicator for the day. The judge chose the following show winners: Best in Show “Alec” by Dania Madera-Lerman of Havelock was chosen because “the painting radiates energy, sound movement and music,” said Campbell. Best Painting winner was “Behind Main Street” by Olga Neinhuys of Grafton. The judge commented that the painting, “Is interesting on many levels. It has a haunting, dreamlike quality to it due to the absence of figures. It is an interesting choice of subject and vantage point. Olga Nienhuys from Grafton won best painting with her acrylic on canvas called “Behind Main Street” entry. Photo by Sue The painting has a Dickens

Local health unit offers advice on overcoming sticker shock at the grocery stores
By Sue Dickens
Brighton/Northumberland - While skyrocketing food prices may be hard to stomach, the local Health Unit is offering advice on how to overcome the sticker shock and still enjoy healthy eating. The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit is encouraging local residents to shop wisely and substitute certain food items for other more expensive ones in a bid to
keep their grocery bills in check. The Trent Hills Independent has published a couple of articles recently about the “sticker shock” shoppers are experiencing at the grocery stores and how one shopper is coping. Grocery store owners and the Health Unit agree high prices are happening for several reasons. The Health Unit noted in its press release that while world oil prices are very low ... the low Canadian dollar is partly to blame as well as a shortage of food items brought on by weather-related
problems such as drought in California and flooding in Mexico. Bill Eekoff, health unit communications officer, said the purpose of their latest news release, “Is to offer ideas on how to eat healthy in the midst of the current situation where the prices for certain food items are quite high. The news release is not meant to ask people to substitute healthier foods with less expensive (and less healthy) choices. Rather, it’s pointing out to people that there are cheaper options that can be as healthy for you.” For example, the Health Unit recommends choosing frozen vegetables and fruit as an alternative to fresh, more expensive varieties and to shop smart by looking through grocery store flyers for specials and coupons. As well it is noted that seasonal vegetables are relatively affordable, because of lower transportation costs and are a viable option in summer. Public Health Dietitian Kimberly Leadbeater who works out of the Health Unit office in Brighton has some of her own tips to help shoppers. “One of the things that is really expensive is ground beef. One way to save a bit of money is buy large packages and portion out and freeze. When I think of beef I think of making something
like chili. You can make a nutritious chili with chick peas, frozen corn, kidney beans and so on.” She agrees that frozen fruit and vegetables are a great alternative. ‘They are flash frozen and have the same nutrients as freshly picked and frozen vegetables don’t have added salt.” Leadbeater is also chair of the Northumberland Food for Thought steering committee, a nonprofit community partnership made up of representatives from various sectors: volunteer, government, corporate, and education. “This is a program that lends assistance to student nutrition program across the [Northumberland] county in schools ... most of the work we do is working with clients on a budget,” she noted. For those in need she said there are food banks and the Good Food Box program available throughout Northumberland County. “The Good Food Box is a great opportunity for anyone to take advantage of fresh vegetables and fruit that is purchased in bulk. The cost is $15 per box and families with children may be eligible for a subsidy,” she commented. The Health Unit suggests for ideas about healthy eating on a budget go to the EatRight Ontario website: <www.eatrightontario.ca/en/budget>.
Kimberly Leadbeater, public health dietitian with the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit, Brighton office, provides some sound advice about how to buy healthy food at a time of “sticker shock” in the grocery stores and at the same time following Canada’s food guide.

the celebration was held not only in Campbellford but also in nearby Hastings. Betty talked about the service which began with a processional and included a call to worship, prayers and the singing of hymns and reading of the scriptures. The “leader”, Diana Ballard of Seymour United Church, led the prayer of confession and spoke throughout the service which included many participants. “It’s been wonderful to be reading and learning more about Cuba,” noted Melanie. “It’s very humbling to know that these impoverished people are very good at caring for others. “I believe in the power of prayer. Often it’s the thing that we have when we can do nothing else and yet it is the most powerful thing that we have,” Melanie commented. Melanie is involved with the group in Stirling bringing two Syrian families to the town. She recalled when boatloads of Cuban refugees made their way to the U.S. and how today Syrian refugees are now fleeing their country for safety. As part of the service Betty’s granddaughter nine-year-old Arianna sang accompanied by well-known community choir director Ross Cotton on keyboard. Betty noted that money raised through offerings at the service “go to all different Christian charities, some in Canada and around the world.”

Flourish Campaign’s fundraising total now stands at more than $3.5 million By John Campbell Trent Hills – As of Jan. 1, the amount of cash and pledges donated or committed to the Flourish Campaign stood at $3,541,093. Most of the money, $2,979,919, has been directed to Campbellford Memorial Hospital for the purchase of equipment while $533,091 is to be used for recreation redevelopment. The remaining amount, $28,083, will go toward the creation of Smart and Caring Community Funds in Hastings and Warkworth for the distribution of grants in support of local projects. “We’re in a bit of a holding pattern,” said Martha Murphy, executive director of the Campbellford-Seymour Community Foundation. “We’re still accepting pledges, but we’re not actively knocking on doors.” “We’re waiting to see what the next project is that the municipality
announces,” she said. The two options are a recreation wellness centre in Campbellford that will include a rink and aquatic centre and an addition to the Warkworth arena. A decision will hinge on federal or provincial funding being made available, “then we can certainly get back into it,” Murphy said. “We can kick into action pretty quickly. We have our volunteers ready to go,” she added. “Hopefully, there will be some monies announced for [Canada’s] sesquicentennial but it’s hard to say.” Of the more than half million dollars received for recreation redevelopment, $322,706 in grants and pledges was committed to the Hastings Field House which opened last year. “We’re collecting additional pledges for the Campbellford and the Warkworth project as well,” Murphy said.

Several streets to be renamed avenues or lanes to avoid duplication By John Campbell Trent Hills – Several streets having the same name will be given new ones to ensure firefighters and paramedics arrive at the correct address “in a timely and safe manner.” Fire Chief Tim Blake explained
in a report to council Feb. 16 that duplicate civic addresses that were in use in the three municipalities before they joined to become Trent Hills is creating a problem. Peterborough Fire Services, as the new dispatcher for all of Northumberland County, will be using data
in a format that does not distinguish duplicate names and number ranges. “The risk to residents in Northumberland County includes a potential delay in dispatching time and the possibility of sending a wrong fire department to the wrong area of the
municipality,” Blake stated. It might not be an issue for residents calling 911 from a land line as it “usually includes location information” but if a cellphone is used, callers would have to know the former township if they are calling from “since no additional location

information would be available.” Newer residents might not know because amalgamation took place in 2001. Peterborough Fire Services “will see multiple listings for streets (such as Church Street), and they would have to determine with the caller their exact location.” Another difficulty are county roads that go between former townships that have duplicate address numbers. “The dispatchers will see multiple entries for that road (one for every township) and a potential for sending a wrong response exists,” Blake wrote. Adjustments have been made “to alleviate some similar ranges, thus permitting the streets and roads to remain the same,” but he got council’s approval to make several changes to street names, based on the number of dwellings found on each. They are: Centre Street in Campbellford will remain as is but Centre Street in Warkworth will be changed to Centre Lane. Church Street stays the same in Warkworth but will become Church Avenue in Campbellford and Church Lane in Hastings. Park Street in Hastings remains unchanged but it will be called Park Way in Campbellford. Nelson Street in Warkworth will become Nelson Lane in Hastings. Water Street in Hastings will be called Water Lane in Green Acres, and Division Street in Hastings will become Division Drive in Norham. Residents affected will be able to change their driver’s licence and health cards at their “convenience” and at no cost, when it comes time to renew them, Blake said, and they won’t have to worry about changing their house number. At a previous meeting, Mayor Hector Macmillan urged that something be done with roads identified by numbers that change when they cross over what used to be the boundaries for the former townships. “It’s a time bomb,” he said. “It makes no sense to have one road switch from one number to another.” Blake said the issue will be dealt with in future. “This is just a start, we want to see how this goes,” he said.

Memories of mill ownership grist for a presentation about Fudge’s Mill By Sue Dickens Campbellford – Bob Fudge liked the idea of “getting my old coveralls on after work,” and spending time operating one of the last working grist mills in Northumberland County. His tale of why he decided to purchase the mill in 1990 while still working as a supervisor/chief surveyor for the Region of Durham and tales of the enjoyment he discovered of being a hands-on mill owner was the subject of a recent presentation to the Probus Club of Trent Hills. A councillor, deputy-reeve and owner of Fudge’s Family Restaurant and bar, he decided one day that operating a mill was just one more adventure in his life he wanted to experience. Driving by the mill one day, he stopped to talk to the owner and within a few minutes told him he was going to buy it, then asked, “Now what is it?” Fudge said he has never regretted his decision. His presentation to the Probus members included photos of the mill which
is located on the Ganaraska River at Campbellcroft. He told stories of how operating it as a working mill provided many rewards and just as many challenges. Built in approximately 1865 on Grist Mill Road, it originally was a planing mill with a water wheel. Then in the early 1900s a water turbine became the source of power and it became a grist mill, grinding grain for animal feed. A cleaning station was added later. For Fudge, operating the mill and maintaining it became a labour of love for more than two decades. “We had gears, a ratchet, logs, chutes and an auger ... it was all very high tech,” he said grinning. A series of wooden chutes and large belts kept the mill working but the configuration meant staying safe on the job was always a priority. “As the owner/operator you had to work out any issues by yourself,” he commented. Some of those issues included living with the fact that the pond on the mill property would sometimes flood
across the road in springtime. “The ice on the pond gouged out the road one year,” he noted, adding that in those days a phone call to the township to fix the road was all that was needed. He has plenty of good memories too. “I have photos of the family skating on the pond in winter,” he said with a smile. “We also have photos taken of the bottom of the runway where we caught trout and opened up the fishing to families,” he added. He used the mill to grind oats and barley for feed and noted humourously, “The mill worked at its own pace. You didn’t try to change that.” “Raising a family there was just great. The smell of the wood and everything ... it gets into your blood. It gets into your heart. It actually became a lifestyle,” he said. Fudge first sold the house on the property but the mill itself was a harder sell. Finally he found a buyer and the new owners, a son and father team, are rebuilding the mill “to bring it back to its past glory.”
Bob Fudge was the special guest at the recent meeting of the Probus Club of Trent Hills sand he talked about the days when he owned and operated one of the last grist mills in Northumberland County. Photo by Sue Dickens

Curling season comes to a close for HELMS participants
By John Campbell Brighton â&#x20AC;&#x201C; HELMS (Health Energy Learning Motivation thru Sports) gives people with intellectual disabilities the opportunity to take part in numerous sports activities at no cost. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golfing, skiing, swimming, or playing hockey â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just a few of the sports available to them to try â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the goal is to improve their overall health and fitness, increase their knowledge of what constitutes a healthy lifestyle, and help them connect with the community. Brighton and District Curling Club members have joined in the effort, working with people served by Community Living Campbellford/Brighton, one of 11 agencies that support the HELMS program. Last week the club completed its third year of involvement in the six-
week program, holding a friendly competition that ended with the presentation of medallions to participants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the first week to the last week you can see that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bonding with each other and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re certainly a lot more comfortable with us,â&#x20AC;? said Joe Zimny, one of about a half-dozen club members who helped out with the 90-minute sessions each week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good experience for us,â&#x20AC;? he said, as he and the others enjoyed assisting the curlers, most of whom were new to the sport and showed â&#x20AC;&#x153;a wide range of capability.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great that these guys are willing to volunteer and help out because everyone loves it,â&#x20AC;? said Melissa Cowey, co-ordinator of supports and services for Community Living. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means a whole lot [to them] and they look forward to
it. Probably the same ones [will be] wanting to do it again next year.â&#x20AC;? Dan Giroux for certain will be one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really love the sport,â&#x20AC;? said the Campbellford resident who has curled for three years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love it better than sledge hockey,â&#x20AC;? which he plays in Bewdley. Curling â&#x20AC;&#x153;is a little laid back,â&#x20AC;? unlike sledge hockey, where things can get pretty rough and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fighting, he said. Club member Bill Graham also enjoys helping out, to â&#x20AC;&#x153;ensure they have fun and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re safe.â&#x20AC;? What he likes best is the laughter and â&#x20AC;&#x153;the enjoyment in their eyes,â&#x20AC;? doing something different that gets them out into the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of them have improved ... week by week,â&#x20AC;? Zimny said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind having a couple ... on my own team.â&#x20AC;?

Newmarket incurred eight minutes with four minors. Newmarket did not give the Hawks’ goalie Daniel Urbani much of a challenge with just 14 shots on net. Trenton put up 23 shots on Newmarket goalie Aidan Doak. The Golden Hawks won the first game of the series 6-2 at home on Wednesday, March 2, and also beat the Hurricanes on the road 2-0 on Thursday, March 3. Newmarket now has to fight to stay in series or face elimination in the next game. “We will hopefully clear out the series,” Harvey said. “It’s going to be very tough though, they’re fighting for their lives obviously so they’re going to play desperate.” The G-Hawks got a chance to rest before game four in Newmarket on Thursday, March 10, a game that took place after our press deadline.

Trenton – The Trenton Golden Hawks are on a roll in their best of seven playoff series against the Newmarket Hurricanes, winning their third match 3-0 in Trenton on Sunday March 6. “We played really well, a full 60 minutes I thought,” said forward Curtis Harvey. “We stuck to the game plan, JD (coach Jerome Dupont) does a great job preparing us for games and all the boys played one hundred percent today.” Kevin Lavoie, Jordan Chard and Danny Hanlon each scored one point for the Hawks and Brandon Marinelli and Mac Lewis each contributed an assist. Newmarket and Trenton each held up spotless defense on penalty kills, allowing no goals on net while down a man. Trenton incurred 12 minutes in penalty time with six minors while

Rural Affairs Minister hopes to stop rural brain drain
Minister of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs Jeff Leal speaks to guests of a roundtable he hosted at Belleville City Hall on Monday, March 7. It was to discus ways to allow more young people to pursue careers in rural communities. Photo by Stephen Petrick
By Stephen Petrick Belleville -- Ontario’s Minister of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs held a roundtable session at Belleville City Hall on Monday, March 7, with the hope of addressing a serious problem affecting small communities; the high number of young people who move
away to pursue careers. Minister Jeff Leal walked in at 4:45 p.m. and was greeted by several young people and municipal leaders from across the region, including Stirling Mayor Rodney Cooney, Tweed Mayor Jo-Anne Albert and Belleville Mayor Taso Christopher. Leal said he wasn’t there so much
to express to guests his ideas, but to hear the ideas from others on how to address the problem. “This is a listening exercise,” he said. “It’s to chat with them and get a sense of what their goals are, what their aspirations are.” The roundtable was an event that leads up to the Ministry’s second
rural summit to be held in Stratford, Ont. this June. Leal held a similar roundtable recently in Welland, Ont. “We’re looking at ways to sit down and chat with our young leaders in respective communities and deal with ways that we can work with them so they can seek their destiny,” he said.
Leal suggested that one answer is to improve Internet connections in rural communities, so international businesses can operate in small, rural communities. That’s an issue being addressed by the Eastern Ontario Regional Network, an organization formed by the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus.
Gleaners Food Bank supporters can win an ounce of gold
By Stephen Petrick
March is here, which means it’s Shamrock season for Gleaners Food Bank. And that means another supporter of the food bank is about to win a bar of gold. Every March Gleaners holds a St. Patrick’s Day-themed fundraiser to help stock its shelves. People who visit one of several participating locations in Belleville and purchase a paper Shamrock will be entered in a
draw to win a one-ounce bar of gold, donated by RBC Dominion Securities. The value of an ounce of gold was listed at $1,241.50 on March 2, so assuming the rate doesn’t fluctuate much by the time the draw is held on Tuesday, March 22, it’s a pretty good prize. The Shamrock locations this year are Bayshore Credit Union, Grills Orchards, Legendz Pub, Red Rock Canyon, Reid’s Dairy, Slapshot Bar & Grill,

the ounce of gold or a gift basket or gift card from the store. Kids can also pick up colouring pages for a colouring contest at each location. The Shamrocks campaign started on Tuesday, March 1, when Gleaners held a display at the Quinte Mall. There, one prize winner was already named, as Ted Cavanaugh was the winner of a gift basket. Gleaners will also be at the Quinte Mall on Thursday, March 17 to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. An Irish dance display will take place at the Kindness Court at noon and the event will follow with live music. A mega silent auction will also take place at SportsCheck with proceeds benefitting Gleaners. The Shamrocks campaign is one of Gleaners’ largest fundraisers of the year, as in past years it has helped the food bank raise more than $15,000 to purchase food. Gleaners Director of Operations Susanne Quinlan and, playing the part of the Leprechaun, Matthew Bewsky, were at the Quinte Mall on March 1 to kick off Gleaners Food Bank’s Shamrock campaign.

100 Women Who Care group pledges $17,700 for Bridge Street United Church By Stephen Petrick Belleville – For the sake of accuracy, the 100 Women Who Care Quinte group may have to change its name. Well over 100 women came out to the group’s third meeting at The Stache Sports Bar and Nightclub on Wednesday, March 2, to hear presentations from three charities requesting support. In the end, the women voted to support Bridge Street United Church’s Food Ministry program. With 126 individual women and 51 teams of four women in attendance, the group expected to be able to donate $17,700 to the church. It’s money that’s well needed, as Bridge Street runs its Inn from the Cold meal program through

January and February and frozen meal programs year round. “Oh my goodness, this has exceeded our expectations,” said Tawnya Smith, one of the organizers for 100 Women Who Care Quinte. She pointed out that the group’s banners on display use the term “100 +” now to credit the group’s growing popularity. The group meets quarterly and chooses a charity to support at each meeting. The women are then asked to write a cheque for $100 to the charity that’s selected, based on a vote. Women can join the club as an individual or as a team of four. Those who are part of a team can donate $25 each, but the team only gets one vote. The 100 Women Who Care group has grown steadily in a short period of time and has already made a huge impact on the community. Following the group’s first meeting in September, women donated about $13,000 to the Quinte West Community Centre, for youth programs. At a meeting in late 2015, they raised about $16,000 for Links to Learning Resource Centre, a non-profit that provides education programs for children with disabilities. Joan Burton, of Links for Learning, attended Wednesday’s meeting to give a presentation on how the funds are helping her organization. At Wednesday’s meeting, group members also heard from representatives from Kerry’s Place Autism Services and The Edith Fox Life & Loss

The next meeting for the 100 Women Who Care group is expected to take place on June 8. Meanwhile, a similar 100 Men Who Care Quinte group is also making an impact on the community. The men met at The Belleville Club on Feb. 29 and voted to support Adam’s Hope, a non-profit organization that supports families in Quinte dealing with autism. The men expect to be able to donate $11,800 to the organization.

Marmora - The Women in Wellness second annual event was very well attended. Visitors were offered opportunities to explore non-intrusive methods of experiencing improved health and well-being, with many of the disciplines dating back thousands of years. Guest speaker for the day was Jennifer Loner, currently the training and education co-ordinator at Three Oaks Shelter and Services. After the day, Janice Chrysler said, “Hats off to all who took part, helped out, and most of all to those men and women who came through the doors. The day was totally awesome and the energy at meditation was amazing. Thank you and Namaste.”
LETTERS ENTERTAINMENT TO THE EDITOR
Newspaper is still wrong EMS director apologizes to report charges for elderly reference Dear Editor (Re: How much coverage does a sex abuse case deserve?, March 3) Thank you for including the readers letters in the March 3, 2016 Quinte West News about this case. When I read the initial article, I too was shocked that your paper would elect to drag this individual through the mud based on charges only. To make my point short, the readers are correct, you are not! The issue is not what this young lady has or has not done. She is innocent until proven guilty and she deserves her day in a court of law, period! The recent trials of Jian Ghomeshi and Mike Duffy are clear examples of the fact that there are two sides to every story (the truth is found somewhere in between). Thankfully, it is still the courts that determine this, not the police nor the media. The defence you choose for the reckless reporting is a few quotes by Geneva Overholser about the need to inform the general public about sex offenders. Your defence is somewhat flawed in that within the same article Geneva Overholser states “ society has made progress when the truth is told....” In this case, the person has not even had her day in court to determine whether or not the truth has been told or to truthfully defend the charges against herself. It is quite evident in todays media cul-
ture, the game is to peruse a list of documented police charges from the previous day and then pick and choose whose name will be splashed all over newsprint and radio just to make news without any regards to the accused or the accused family’s reputation. Our local radio stations play the same pathetic game. I suspect if this person were the daughter or relative of a prominent member of the community we would not even be privy to this information. I would suggest that if your newspapers intent is to inform the public of the all the dangers within our society and those supposedly that are dangerous, your newspaper should print the entire list of police charges laid weekly. This should then be followed up by the list of successful convictions for each charge laid. The media should not be allowed to pick and choose at their discretion whose name is in the paper and who is not based on charges only. If this cannot be done, only report on convicted cases. I would request your newspaper be more responsible with regards to the legal due process of this country. If this cannot be accomplished, please do not deliver your newspaper to my door as it will be on a direct flight to blue bin city while still in plastic sleeve. Tim Mellor Trenton
(Editor’s Note – The following letter was sent by area EMS chief John O’Donnell in response to letters printed in these pages critical of a suggestion that an aging population is placing strain on local emergency medical services.) Dear Mrs. Weeks, Thank you for taking the time to speak with me on Friday. I can’t imagine the tough times you have endured over the past few months and I feel absolutely terrible that I have in any way compounded your grief with my comments made to the reporters following our last committee meeting. I hope you can understand that the comments, which I take full responsibility for, were in no way meant to offend you or anyone else. After you explained your situation and how the comment was taken by you as a slight against our aging population I realize that my choice of wording was a poor one. What I was trying to convey was that our paramedic service saw an increase of over 5 % in call volume from 2014 to 2015 and I want our elected officials to understand the care of our aging population is a paramount responsibility that we take very serious. The
ambulances in Hastings and Prince Edward County were dispatched on over 30,000 calls in 2015 and as everyone knows as we age our health care needs increase thus more need for improved resources to serve our seniors effectively. I have worked in the ambulance service in Hastings County for 39 years and I have spent my career taking care of sick, injured and dying people. My job as Chief has shifted my responsibilities more to the administrative side of things and I really miss not being out on the road delivering hands on care but then again that is what happens when we get older even in the job world. I guess it doesn’t matter how old I get, I never get too old to learn something and you have taught me a valuable lesson. This lesson is to make sure I chose my words more carefully because inadvertently words can cause pain and I sure don’t want to do that to you or anyone else. Please accept this as my sincere apology and I hope your pain in the loss of your dear husband John, eases over time. Sincerely, John O’Donnell

The Good Earth: A top ten of top tens
In a recent column, I facetiously commented on how easy it would be to fill a month’s worth of columns with “Top ten” in the title. I understand that many a Gentle Reader has already perused quite a few of those lists, beginning with the “Top ten list of well-intentioned but never realised New Year’s resolutions” as printed on Jan. 3 because the author had procrastination as number 6 and missed the Dec. 31 deadline. It occurred to me, though, that perhaps I could present a top ten of top tens and get it all done in one massive effort, whilst keeping to my allotted column inches in the newspaper. So, GR, here it is. To save space, imagine each heading to be preceded by “Dan’s Top Ten List of ...” 1. Trees: Bloodgood Japanese Maple (but unpruned and weaving its way through an over-story canopy), Serbian Spruce, any birch with exfoliating bark, Sugar Maples, Nannyberry (Viburnum lentago) trained as a standard, Red Oak, Manitoba Maple (really!), Hackberry, Swiss Stone Pine and
B6 Section B - Thursday, March 10, 2016
White Pine. 2. Shrubs: Cardinal Red Twig Dogwood, Bridal Wreath Spirea, Centre Glow Ninebark, Lantana Mohican Viburnum, Bird’s Nest Spruce, Creeping Scot’s Pine, Japanese Garden Juniper, Bayberry, French Lilacs, and Blue Arctic Willow 3. Perennials: Rave On Heuchera, Guara (aka whirling butterflies), Asclepias (not as fond of the plant as I am of the butterflies it attracts), Black Beauty Bugbane, Firewitch Cheddar Pinks, Blue Emerald Ground Phlox, Tomato Soup Coneflower, Maiden Hair Fern, Paul’s Glory Hosta, and any fragrant lactiflora Peony. 4. Annuals: Marigolds (you’ll find them in my vegetable garden), Dusty Miller, Zinnias, Chrysanthemums, Balsam Impatiens, Bells of Ireland, Diamond Frost Euphorbia, Black-eyed Susan vine, Morning Glories, and Stocks, 5. Bulbs/tubers/ diggy things: Batik Iris, Black Surprise Gladiolus, Rembrandt Tulips, Shirley Tulip, After Dusk Dahlia, Picasso Calla Lily, Debbie Rhode’s Mom’s White Iris, any white or blue Hya-
cinth, and Horseradish. 6. Veggies: Yukon Gold potato, Sweet Million and Beefsteak tomatoes, Butter Crunch lettuce, Nantes carrots, Acorn squash, Sugar Snap peas, regular old green zucchini (sliced, seeds scooped out, barbecued with butter, bacon and sour cream garnish), onions of all kinds but the Spanish Walking onion is fun, (I’d like to say corn but the squirrels and raccoons get to it before the Clost clan does) and watermelon (so far the largest we’ve managed is softball sized.) 7. Water in the estate: recirculating fountains, bird baths, small rough surfaced stone for butterfly pools, bog tubs (any plastic container, think one gallon ice cream tub with holes punched in the bottom), reflecting pond, a whitenoise pond (large pump to make splashing sound to soften the ambiance of an urban evening), rain barrel or similar collection system, goldfish pond (better than koicheaper, they’re all called “Goldy” and you can feed local wildlife and family cats without too much dismay), a purpose-built running stream ( if you have the space and
the design fits your estate, and a natural stream or body of water.) 8. Gardening mistakes: Planting variegated goutweed, not pulling up a volunteer creeping bellflower plant, forgetting to plant portulaca, thinking I can grow petunias, pruning when I get around to it, not when the plant needs it, not making enough use of locally grown foods, getting trapped in the “everything must be done on the May 2-4 weekend” syndrome, not sharpening cutting tools (especially the lawnmower) often enough, planting American bittersweet on a property fence (neighbours weren’t overly fond of it on their side), and continually underestimating the mature size of my newest treasure from the nursery (on the upside, my arborist friends like me.) 9. Tips: a tablespoon of veggie oil in a rain barrel to control mosquitoes, bar soap for under fingernails before gardening, tough gardeners wear tough gloves, put the stake in when you plant, good fences do make good neighbours, plan your garden for a decade from now, plant a tree a decade ago or
Dan Clost today, whichever you can manage, best way to prune an overgrown rambler rose ... hire someone else, don’t plant what you can’t care for, best weed control for lawns is to grow good grass, and, it’s your garden, do what you want and make no apologies. 10. Roses: Glenora, Bonica, Graham Thomas, Morden Blush, Seafoam, The Fairy, Blanc Double de Couvert, Jens Munk, Hope for Humanity, and Chrysler Imperial Hybrid Tea.
TRAVEL
Roanoke, Virginia is “The Star City of the South” By John M. Smith
I’ve been reading another John Grisham novel lately, and this one, “The Racketeer”, is set in Roanoke, Virginia. This particular locale is also the setting for today’s travel piece, for I recently spent some time in this beautiful city. For snowbirds heading south on I-81, Roanoke makes a nice “pit stop” along the way. It’s often referred to as “The Star City of the South”, for a gigantic man-made star towers over this city, atop Mill Mountain, and this is the exact spot to go for a great overview of this entire valley area. Roanoke could also be said to be the recreational, cultural, and business hub of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, and this would be yet another reason for the nickname. I, of course, just had to go up on Mill Mountain by the star and get that spectacular view. While up there, I met mayor David Bowers, and he bragged that this city of Roanoke is “one of the greatest places there is to live in the entire country.” He loves this area! Roanoke is southwest of Richmond, and it’s located right next to the longest linear park in the country, the awesome Blue Ridge Parkway. In addition to its mammoth illuminated star, the city has many other worthwhile attractions, and I’m going to mention a half dozen of its best: Be sure to go to the downtown area and visit the City in the Square, for you’ll find aquariums, a butterfly deck, a theatre (Mill Mountain Theatre), several museums, and a rooftop overlook all in this one location. And the museums found here are very worthwhile, for there’s the History Museum of Western Virginia, the Harrison Museum of African American Culture, and the Science Museum of Western Virginia. On the rooftop, in addition to the great view of the downtown area from the Atrium Overlook, I also found a Living Wall (an open-air green space), gardens, and a koi pond. Another must-see in the downtown area, for art lovers, is the very modern Taubman Museum of Art, which houses more than 2,000 pieces in its permanent collection. It’s also worth visiting this facility simply to enjoy a meal in its contemporary café and to just to check out its unique, dazzling architecture. You’ll probably be amazed, as I was, by its intriguing atrium with its towering pole of stuffed animals.
Roanoke’s large star is located atop Mill Mountain.

While in the downtown area, I’d also recommend a visit to the City Market Building, housing nine international food vendors. It’s located in the city’s historic market district, and it’s an easy stroll from there to Elmwood Park, the downtown park, where free concerts are offered on summer Sunday afternoons. I’d also recommend a walk along Roanoke’s ½ mile Railwalk, with its interactive signage, displays, and whistles that details the city’s railroad history. The Railwalk will take you from the Market District to the Virginia Museum of Transportation, located in Roanoke’s historic Norfolk & Western Railway Freight Station. This fascinating museum has the largest collection of diesel locomotives in the South, and my favourite locomotive there was its powerful 1218 steam locomotive, which was built in a mere two weeks. This quick build wouldn’t happen today, would it? This mammoth locomotive was primarily used for hauling coal, so it was built tough. This museum also houses such other interesting objects as an old stagecoach, fire engine, and a 1943 Dodge Brothers school bus (and even school buses have gone through dramatic changes since that time). While learning about the city’s rail history, I’d also recommend a visit to the O. Winston Link Museum, located in downtown Roanoke in a former passenger train station. This museum is dedicated to the railroad photography of renowned photographer O. Winston Link. His stunning photos clearly record the last years of steam power on the Norfolk & Western Railway, including a depiction of life along the railway. I particularly liked his many photos taken along the old Virginia Creeper Trail, for this rail line, no longer in use, has been converted into a recreational trail – and I have cycled this entire pathway (34 mi./57 km.) that’s located in the southwestern corner of the state (between White Top and Abingdon). My last recommendation is to check out the historic
The 1218, a powerful steam locomotive, is now found in the Virginia Museum of Transportation in Roanoke.
Grandin Village, located just a couple of miles from downtown Roanoke. It’s nestled in a charming 1920s neighbourhood, and I found several interesting shops and restaurants there. I also found a restored theatre (the Grandin Theatre), and took in a movie. One of the interesting businesses that I discovered in this village was Black Dog Salvage, southwestern Virginia’s premier outlet for salvaged architectural elements and antiques. They’re also involved in their own reality TV show, “Salvage Dawgs”, and have gained some additional notoriety through this. For More Information: www.roanokeva.gov

Small municipalities plan to spend big for better Internet connections
By Stephen Petrick
Hastings County -- Eastern Ontario municipalities are moving forward with a plan to make high-speed internet available virtually everywhere in the region, including some of the most remote parts of Hastings County. The plan is estimated to cost anywhere from $180 to $200 million. It’s a staggering number even with the combined efforts of several municipalities, but it’s an important investment nonetheless, says Hastings County Chief Administrative Officer Jim Pine, one of the people behind the project. He compared the task to similar projects carried out decades ago to bring electricity or telephone services to rural communities. High-speed Internet, he said, is essential for a community that wants to build a strong economy. He believes the plan could lead to 3,000 more fulltime jobs in Hastings County – or maybe an even greater number once big city business
owners learn they can work remotely from their county cottages. “Before the end of this year, we want to have our business plan and proposals for the project into the federal and provincial governments,” said Pine. “I’m really optimistic we’re putting together a good proposal.” Pine is the co-lead for the Eastern Ontario Regional Network, a group founded by the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus to improve Internet connections in the region. He noted that the cost won’t likely be totally absorbed by municipal taxpayers. The EORN is hoping to get both provincial and federal contributions, as well as private contributions, for the project. The money would go to building several dozen new radio towers, fiber optic cable to connect them and other computing technology. The idea is to fill gaps in the region where service is not great already. In Hastings
County that includes some areas in the northern region, but also some areas that are fairly urban, near Highway 401, Pine said. He explained the plan would be to improve the bandwidth in the region so people can download big documents, or videos, from a home connection or even a mobile device. The EORN has made progress on this movement, particularly with wireless connections, over the last several years, as a partnership with Xplornet Communications recently led to new satellites in the air to improve connections. But a recent study conducted by EORN, with help from telecommunications companies such as Bell and Telus, showed that the Eastern Ontario has several more gaps it needs to fill. “We realized we had worse of a picture than we originally thought, which was good to know,” Pine said. He said better connections are important not just for business reasons, but also for the sake
of emergency workers who communicate through mobile devices. Pine thinks that point may help the EORN secure senior government funding. “Eastern Ontario could be a really good test case for this
safety network,” he said. He also explained why it’s necessary for the government to pay to have a big private telecommunications company set up infrastructure that will help them gather more customers in rural areas.
“It’s really pretty simple,” Pine said. “In parts of Eastern Ontario there’s a lot of empty space; it’s not very highly densely populated. Economically, there’s no business case for the private sector to go further than they have.”
Loyalist College presents $85,375 to 123 students Belleville – Loyalist College congratulated 123 students who received awards during the Spring Awards Reception on March 3 in The Student Link Lounge. Made possible by 30 donors, including 18 endowed funds, the awards total $85,375, bringing the total value of awards presented this year through the Awards Office to more than $507,000. “Behind every award is a gracious donor and an appreciative student,” said Loyalist College President and CEO Maureen Piercy. “The longlasting impact of these awards is reflected in the success of our students who work tirelessly throughout the year.” The Chris Noone Award is new to Loyalist and is given to a graduating Advertising and Marketing Communications student whose advertising and marketing communication skills have contributed to volunteer efforts benefiting the community. Mr. Noone graduated from Loyalist’s Advertising program in 1998. “I consider volunteering to be a way of life,” said Mary Adeyanju, an international student from Nigeria and the inaugural recipient of the Chris Noone Award. “I say this because through volunteerism, we are given the opportunity to
make a positive impact on a person’s life.” Second-year Business Administration student Ellen Marrisett is the recipient of the Young Entrepreneur Award provided by the Select Referral Team. This award acknowledges a student’s entrepreneurial spirit. “This award gives me the confidence to expand my networking skills,” said Ellen. “I look forward to meeting new people and enhancing my business career. I have this award to thank for the motivation.” Alex Hoftyzer, a second-year Customs Border Services student, is the recipient of the Bob Michaud Award. This award is provided by the Rotary Club of Belleville in memory of former Rotarian Bob Michaud. It is presented to a student who has displayed outstanding sportsmanship, leadership and entrepreneurial skills. “Mr. Michaud was an excellent role model to all in the Belleville and Quinte area and was the kind of man that I strive to be,” said Alex. “I have never done volunteer work for the recognition, but knowing that someone sees and appreciates it is very encouraging. It pushes me to continue to give my time and effort to help the community.”

Trenton - Quinte West businessman John Smylie will be the recipient of an Honorary Life Time Membership from the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce during the annual President’s Dinner at Occasions by the Bay on March 31. “I’m truly honoured,” said Smylie. “To be recognized by your business community and given a lifetime membership in your chamber of commerce is a great honour, I’m flattered to say the least.” Smylie came to the Quinte West community 12 years ago and not only is he the owner of Smylie’s Your Independent Grocer, he has volunteered and left an impact on the community. Smylie has been involved with the Rotary Club of Trenton, President of the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce, Chair of the Trenton Military Family Resource Centre and Chair of the Trenton Memoiral Hospital Foundation, to name a few. Smylie was appointed as the Honorary Colonel for 436(t)
squadrom in 2010 and is currently cochair of Our TMH, Trenton Memorial Hospital’s advocacy committee. He said it’s been very important for him to make the community a better place and to give back and support the community that supports him. “It’s quite rewarding, I’ve really enjoyed being active in this community,” Smylie said. “This is by far the best community I’ve ever lived in.” Smylie said some of his highlights have been working as the president of the chamber, being the chair of the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation and the achievements of the Our TMH committee. “John has had a huge impact on Quinte West and the business community here,” said chamber manager Suzanne Andrews. “He has been awarded numerous awards because of the excellence he has shown in the running of his business, the time and dedication he has given to community causes and the leadership he has shared while on the board of numerous organizations.” The Honorary Life Time Membership is awarded to local business people that have given their time and expertise freely over the years to contribute to the growth of the community. Past recipients include Lt. General Howard Graham, Dr. W.A.L. McDonald, Wilf Wilkinson, Ian Darling, Doug Whitley, Eban James Sr., Phil Panelas, Paul Tripp, Peter Davis, Rob Brown, Hugh O’Neil, Tom Kotsovos and John Williams. Tickets are on sale for the President’s Dinner and awards for $65 per person. Tickets can be purchased online at quintewestchamber.ca or at the chamber office.

Card of Thanks
The family of the late Lyle Thomas Honey would like to thank everyone for their love and support shown to us during our time of loss. We are truly grateful for the generous donations, sympathy cards, lovely flowers and delicious food. A very special thank you to Dr. P. Stratford, nurses and staff at Northumberland Hills Hospital, especially in restorative and palliative care. We also wish to extend our gratitude to MacCoubrey Funeral Home, Rev. A. Hobbs, the pianist and community for the service and reception at Eden United Church. Lyle will be missed forever, but he will remain in the hearts of all who shared their grief during this difficult time. With much love from The Honey Family.

After the fundraising slog, the fun part is cutting cheques for United Way of Quinte By Stephen Petrick
Last fall the Quinte community stepped up for the United Way, raising more than $2.1 million through its annual campaign. Now it’s time for the United Way to release those funds back into the community. The fundraising organization announced a community investment of $1.57 million. Of that money, $1,277,868 will be allocated to programs approved by the United Way of Quinte Board of Directors. From the $1,277,868 investments, 34 per cent was allocated to programs that “help kids be all the can be,” 45 per cent will fund programs that “help people out of poverty and into possibility” and 21 per cent will “help build a strong and vibrant community.” United Way of Quinte executive director Judi Gilbert said deciding who should get funding was an exhaust-

ing process and it was handled by the United Way’s citizen review panel with help from staffers Amy Watkins and Brandi Hodge. But, she and her staff are happy with the way it worked out as they believe the agencies receiving funding will address the United Way’s commitment to children, ending poverty and building strong communities. “We’re thrilled with the breakdown of it,” Gilbert said. “It worked out that way because of the programs that requested funding.” In total, 22 programs received funding in the “All that Kids Can Be Category.” For instance, Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Hastings and Prince Edward Counties received funding for its one-on-one mentoring program, it’s Game On! & Go Girls program and in-school mentoring programs. Twenty-four programs received funding in the “Poverty to Possibility” category. The Community Develop-
ment Council of Quinte was one of the beneficiaries, for its Community Gardens, Community Kitchens and Good Baby Box programs. Fourteen more programs were funded in the “Healthy People Strong Communities” category. Community Care organizations in Central Hastings and South Hastings received funding for several programs in this area, including Meals on Wheels. An additional $47,750 will support non-profit agencies with small grants to work collaboratively with others in the non-profit sector. Another $181,500 was also committed to other initiatives that support the community, such as the Good Backpack Program, which outfits more than 1,100 local students with back packs and school supplies at the start of each school year. In addition, $65,000 was re-directed to other Canadian charities at the direct request of the organization’s do-

nors. The rest of the money from the $2.1 million fundraising haul represents administrative costs. The United Way has seven full-time staff members who work out of its headquarters at 55 Harriett St. in Belleville. Gilbert said 16.5 per cent of the United Way’s fundraising goes to administrative costs; a number she says is necessary for a professionally run fundraising campaign.
“We’re still very proud of our fundraising and admin fees,” she said. “We feel our donors recognize that in order to manage a campaign, and to be good stewards of their dollars, we have to have people who are experts in (fundraising).” Gilbert said plans are already in the works for next year’s fundraising campaign. A campaign goal will be launched, as usual, in early September and the event is again expected to include a fun run.

Floorball vs Hockey It’s no secret Canadians love their hockey. Children often start at a young age and progress later into their teenage years with the ultimate dream to play professionally. Hockey is expensive in NorthAmerica, with the average season costing more than $2000 for rep players under 10 years old, according to the Globe and Mail. More disturbing is the controversy on the safety of the game. Concussions and roughness have been scrutinized in ice hockey over recent years with many rule changes over the last few years to make the game safer. In Canada and 58 other countries around the world, there is another alternative to playing ice hockey that is safe, inexpensive, and technical in skill. Floorball is an indoor team sport similar to ball hockey. The major differences between ice hockey and floorball is the rules of floorball do not allow high sticking or a lot of body contact so there is less chance of injury. There are also no offsides, lengthy faceoffs, or heavy equipment making it a fast-paced sport with an emphasis on skill and speed. Floorball is played on a multisport surface, like a gym floor instead of an ice hockey rink. Sticks resemble the design of an ice hockey stick but are light and inexpensive. Goaltenders play on their knees with minimum body protection for quick movements and don’t carry a stick. But the two sports couldn’t be more alike. Floorball includes five-on-five plus a goaltender with the object to shoot the ball in the opponent’s goal which a few inches smaller than an ice hockey net. Rolling and unlimited line changes are used, plus many penalties are similar to ice hockey.
Players who know how to play hockey can learn floorball quickly when it comes to stickhandling and game understanding. Many players representing Team Canada at the Under 19 Women’s World Floorball Championships in May in Belleville, Ontario are originally hockey players. Rachael Smith, future Team Canada prospect and NCAA Division 1 hockey player for Mercyhurst University in Pennsylvania, notices improvement with her hockey and floorball skills when she uses both sports to train.

“What really helps with playing both hockey and floorball is how in floorball you need to have good stick handling skills to be able to weave around players,” said Smith. “It transfers to hockey because you use your hands to do the same thing in floorball, like a wrist shot, and it requires accurate control.” Originally founded in Minnesota, floorball is primarily played in Scandinavian countries, but is growing in popularity in countries like Canada, United States, Jamaica, and many Asian and African countries due to safe hockey gameplay and how inexpensive it is to play. In Sweden, floorball players outnumber hockey players 3 to 1 with a total of 120,000 registered floorball players. Floorball is governed by the International Floorball Federation. Sixteen of these countries will soon arrive in Belleville to play at the Under 19 Women’s World Floorball Championships. These players are the best players under 20 years old in the world, and the talent can be compared to the IIHF World Juniors hockey championships.
