Bright outlook for future of downtown business

By Joyce Cassin

News - Brighton - “There’s a lot going on within the municipality that’s upsetting a lot of people, but that is simply making the bond between downtown business owners stronger.�

Former Downtown Business Improvement Area chair Anna Szurgot opened the March 4 DBIA meeting with this comment, but she added, “We’ve got a really strong team.�

The recent disbanding of the Downtown Revitalization Advisory Committee (DRAC) and the subsequent dismissal of the municipality’s economic development and revitalization staff member, plus recent rumours being spread on social media, was of concern to the committee, and they’re working to move forward.

They’re involved in the March Break East Northumberland Secondary School scavenger hunt and are already making more plans for the year.

Elaine Poot, who was elected chair for the 2015 year, made the following statement: “The DBIA would like to clarify to the community that the DBIA board will continue to be progressive and keep our community informed regarding our local events scheduled for the coming year. We care, and are passionate about our community, and we respect the people who reside here. We are grateful for the support of community. “The hard work and efforts of our previous DRAC committee and DBIA members will not be in vain. We will be

community-focused and we will create a positive community experience for everyone who resides and visits our beautiful town.

We care, and are passionate about our community, and we respect the people who reside here. “It is our promise and commitment to work with our business community and local volunteers on our events like ART ON MAIN scheduled for July 11, and other event ideas. We are excited to promote our amazing community as a viable place to live, work and visit. We will strive to create our own brand through the dedicated and hard-working business owners and community volunteers that are positive forward-thinking individuals who believe that you cannot become who you strive to be, by remaining who you are. “We will be calling on the community to help initiate our plans in the months to come, and we will share our vision with the community to inspire growth and to show pride in the community we know we all deserve to reside in.�

Board members for 2015 are Poot, Sheryl Delorme, Melissa Jesperson, Sandy Pasko, Wayne Jefferson, Gina Boyd, Sherry Burkitt, Connie Howell, and past president Szurgot. Councillor Laura Vink is the municipal representative.

News - Cramahe Township - A petition is making the rounds of area municipalities to have the Shelter of Hope in Cobourg stop destroying animals that can be saved and put up for adoption.

The shelter also needs to work with local rescue groups to find homes for the animals and to make public how it uses the money it receives from donors, says Laurel Merriam, one of the people involved in the petition, who spoke to Cramahe Township March 5.

The township, which employs Shelter of Hope to impound stray dogs caught in Cramahe, was asked for its support to have the service change its policies and procedures to become a no-kill shelter, in which only animals with life-threatening illness or injury are euthanized.

The shelter’s practices “caused quite a stir,” Merriam said, when it came to light earlier this year that lost and feral cats delivered into its care were being put down if deemed to be aggressive.

Its manager was suspended for two weeks by the shelter’s board of directors after it learned four healthy cats that survived a house fire had been euthanized.

Last month the Joint Animal Control Municipal Services Board suspended euthanasia practices at Shelter of Hope and formed an advisory committee to review its policies and procedures and make its

operations more transparent.

The committee will also recruit volunteers, and employ a volunteer network to find potential adopters and deliver the animals to their new homes, as well as hold frequent adoption events.

Shelter of Hope claims to be “providing leadership in the well-being and adoption of domestic animals,” Merriam said, but of the 563 animals it took in last year between January and September, 215 cats were destroyed.

“Many are being put down for aggression,” she said, but “any animal is going to behave differently if it’s in a cage, if it’s in an environment that they’re not familiar with.”

The answer is to turn Shelter of Hope into a no-kill community where “savable” animals are kept alive for adoption. To get there will take ten steps, through measures such as trapping, neutering and releasing feral cats to prevent their population from growing.

“There’s an amazing program right here in Colborne called the Cat Care Spay Neuter Initiative” that does that, she said, with the help of Northumberland Veterinary Services.

Merriam said the K9 Crusaders, a local animal advocacy group, is willing to work with Shelter of Hope to “make a difference.” Volunteers will assess the animals and help to find their owners or arrange for them to be adopted. They will provide transportation to rescues or new homes, as well as

organize spay/neuter and microchip clinics “to promote responsible pet ownership.”

Once a program is in place “you’re going to have people wanting to give money because you’re doing the right thing,” Merriam said.

She works as a transport co-ordinator with an organization based in Quebec called Pound Paws that rescues animals from shelters that are earmarked for euthanasia by paying “pull fees” and placing them in foster care or adoptive homes.

It has “a very very high success rate,” she said. “A similar idea could work here in Northumberland” and K9 Crusaders have “already agreed to do that.”

Supporters of the petition, which had garnered more than 32,000 signatures online by mid-February, also want to see the CO2 gas chamber at the shelter destroyed so it can’t be used anywhere else.

Injection of barbiturates is a better method of putting down an animal that is sick, injured or dangerous, Merriam said, after every other avenue has been exhausted.

The shelter’s board admitted public trust in the shelter “has been very much broken,” Merriam said. “We’ve asked them to ensure that community members know where their donations are going,” and that a community representative from each municipality served by the shelter–the others are Cobourg, Port Hope and the townships of Alnwick/Haldimand and Hamilton–be put on the advisory committee.

The photo shows a new toilet project at the Kisiluni Primary School. The old toilets fell into the ground and the government was threatening to close the school down even though it was now producing top marks in the district. There are 6 squat toilets per side (one for the boys and other for the girls). The holding pit was about 12 feet in diameter and about 25 feet deep and was hand dug in soil as hard as concrete. It is now considered a state of the art school toilet and the envy of all the schools around.

O

ne of our programs - “The Shelter Box” has been busy in the past few months responding to emergency needs in 9 countries due to Ebola breakout, flooding, earthquakes and even war conflicts in Iraq; the Kurdistan Region, Niger, Gaza and Pakistan Other organizations that received donations from our Club this past month included The Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation; Quinte Access; Transition House; Canadian Landmine Ass’n; Camp Enterprise; St. John’s Ambulance and Health Outreach in Guatelema.

February was also a busy month for our Youth Exchange with the winter weekend orientation at Ganaraska forest where students

from warm weathers, were introduced to snow shoeing, cross country skiing and of course, lots of cold and snow.

Speakers this past month started off with Pat Koets who back in 2008, first visited a mission in Zambia and eventually, became quite involved with the Faith Orphanage Foundation. Faith was a nurse, a mom and a teacher who has become fully engaged in raising orphans with the help of new local job creations due to better education and yes, outside financial assistance from abroad.

Our next speaker was our own Rotarian, Kyle Weir who presented his Classification talk. Being raised in a military family they moved around a lot and eventually settled in Trenton

Owing to the perceived urgent nature, two-thirds of council voted to bring it forward as a motion rather than simply a notice of motion as is normal practice.

Councillor Brian Ostrander suggested the motion as written, was a bit farreaching, and he recommended they exclude the collective agreement, as it is already in the process of negotiations

None of council had an answer as to how many employment contracts the municipality has. The guesses ranged into the hundreds.

“I do not believe for a moment we have hundreds of contracts, although I do stand to be corrected at all times,”

CAO contract under review Mayor Walas said, and Councillor Roger McMurray recommended they ask staffer Linda Widdifield, who was not in attendance at the meeting, for the information.

Asked for clarity on what the motion meant, Baker said it was “rather hard to answer” since he’d “never seen any of these contracts,” but he wanted to know what council’s obligations were regarding wages and benefits, and what council’s obligations were down the road.

Available in most new Ford vehicles with 6-month pre-paid subscription

“I just have a lot of unanswered questions regarding the financial side of any contract we are obligated to,” Baker said.

After the meeting was adjourned, when asked, clerk Vicki Kimmett said there was only one employment contract, and a call to the Chief Administrative Officer, Gayle Frost, resulted in confirmation that hers was the only employment contract with the municipality.

There was no deadline provided on the motion, although consensus appeared to be as soon as possible in order to deal with the contract prior to the 2015 budget being finalized.

No enthusiasm for our flag from the Prime Minister

Dear Editor, Stephen Harper is not about to recognize the 50th anniversary of the birth of our Canadian flag with any enthusiasm.

It was referred to as the Pearson flag by the Conservatives of the day.

He enthusiastically recognized the War of 1812 and spent more than $28 million promoting a war that happened more than 200 years ago.

Harper also apparently doesn’t approve of our Canadian parliamentary system of government based on a speech he gave in 1997 to the Council of National Policy (CNP) in the US. The CNP is described by the New York Times as a little known group of a few hundred of the most influential conservative leaders in business, politics, academia and religion in the US. The CNP meets secretively three times a year behind closed doors at various locations.

In other words, our Canadian Prime Minister dislikes the governance model in Canada, preferring the US Congress over our parliament. A Canadian nationalist he is not.

don’t miss it!

Dear Editor, Another special council meeting called at short notice and another controversial resolution passed, “That council authorizes the mayor to seek external professional services to review any and all employment agreements/contracts as well as council’s obligations/options related to those employment agreements/contracts; with the exception of the collective agreements; and fees not to exceed $5,000.”

I’m sure I am not alone in wondering what the purpose of this review is. All agreements and contracts come to council for review and approval before being confirmed with the provider and the budget documents presented to council take all those contracts into account. Does council have some particular item in mind for re-negotiation, if so why not come out and say so?

But perhaps we don’t have to puzzle over that question too long since the resolution is specific to “employment agreements and contracts” and the municipality has only

one that is in the public domain, the 2013 employment contract with CAO Gayle Frost.

If this is what is going on, I am left wondering how Brighton taxpayers benefit from the $5,000 exercise of reviewing it.

The Provincial Sunshine List shows CAO Frost’s salary and benefits to be in line with others in comparable municipalities. For example, it is almost identical to those of the Port Hope CAO, so we are not looking at a salary outside the market.

So no potential benefit but I can see a potential downside in terms of the effect on staff morale and stress, especially in an environment where the municipality has already seen two senior professional employees depart. And let’s not mince words here; this is a very competitive hiring market.

In a 2010 report Muniscope, an arm of the Provincial-Territorial Officials Committee on Local Government reported: “One of the rising issues for municipalities across Canada is senior staff attraction and retention

policies. In the next five years, many of the senior staff including the CAOs and CFOs will retire, leaving municipalities in need of talent.” A check of the AMCTO’s website currently shows vacancies for CAO at eight municipalities across Ontario.

I would suggest that we are lucky to have a CAO of Ms. Frost’s calibre; she has a sterling reputation in her field and could play a significant role in nurturing the next generation of municipal staff.

The new council claims they were elected to bring about change; all we have seen so far is negative change, economic development programs abruptly cancelled, volunteers disillusioned and senior staff departing. When will we see their vision for Brighton’s future and the positive changes needed to foster teamwork and develop our community’s capacity for the future in an increasingly competitive world?

OPINION

Islamic State: The worst case contingency

Editorial - It’s often a good idea, when faced with a really frightening situation, to model the worst-case outcome and see how bad it could get. That can be quite bad, but it’s rarely as bad as the half-formed Gwynne Dyer fears that build up if you don’t actually analyse the problem.

Like Islamic State, for example.

It began with the conquest by an Islamist group called ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) of various bits of territory in eastern Syria in 2011-13. Its founders were almost all Iraqis who had got their start fighting the American occupation of their country. They were allegedly in Syria as volunteers in the struggle to overthrow Bashar al-Assad’s dictatorship, but they actually spent their time conquering territory held by other rebel groups.

Once ISIS had created a territorial base in eastern Syria, its fighters surged back across the border into Iraq in June 2014 and captured Mosul, Iraq’s third-largest city. First the Iraqi army and then the much better respected Kurdish army crumbled in front of them. In July, ISIS declared the border abolished and proclaimed the foundation of the Islamic State in the conquered parts of both Syria and Iraq.

A few days later the leader of ISIS, Abu Baqr al-Baghdadi, declared in a sermon in Mosul’s great mosque of al-Nuri that he is the caliph to whom all Muslims owe obedience.

It was a bold step as there has been no caliph since 1924 but it had great resonance among those many Muslims who linked the collapse of the Islamic world’s power and prosperity to the neglect of its traditional religious institutions and values.

Moreover, it is collecting pledges of allegiance from like-minded Islamist fighting groups in other Muslim countries, each of which lends a little more credibility to its claim to be the new caliphate. The first wave of pledges came in November, when Islamist groups in Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Yemen and Saudi Arabia declared that they acknowledged al-Baghdadi, now calling himself Caliph Ibrahim, as their leader and guide.

Little more has been heard from the Ye-

meni, Saudi and Algerian groups, but the Egyptian group, Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, controls parts of the Sinai peninsula, regularly attacks the Egyptian army, and was officially designated a province (wilayat) of the Islamic State in November. Libya, where Islamist groups have been gaining ground in the civil war, was carved into three further provinces at the same time.

In late January a former commander of the Pakistani Taliban and ten other jihadi leaders from Pakistan and Afghanistan also acknowledged al-Baghdadi’s authority, and declared that they constituted the new IS province of Khorasan, taking in those two countries and other nearby lands.

Then last Saturday Abubakar Shekau, the leader of the militant group Boko Haram, which controls much of northeastern Nigeria, also pledged allegiance to Islamic State: We announce our allegiance to the caliph... and will hear and obey in times of difficulty and prosperity. We call on Muslims everywhere to pledge allegiance to the caliph. It’s definitely catching on, but how far can it go?

Well, not much further, probably. It is striking that all the new provinces of Islamic State, like most of the original ones, are in mainly rural areas, often sparsely populated, and with few natural resources (except some oil, in Libya’s case). They are areas that corrupt and autocratic governments, many of them distracted by civil war, will simply abandon for the short term as not worth bothering about.

For Islamic State to seize big metropolitan areas and their resources would require a level of popular support in those areas that is unlikely to emerge. Big cities are full of relatively sophisticated people with something to lose, and are unlikely to see Islamic State as an attractive solution for their problems.

Without the big cities and their communications facilities, airports, harbours, major highways (which usually go through the cities) and the like there can be little effective cooperation between the widely dispersed provinces of Islamic State. They will have to go on fighting their own wars with little outside help, and some they will lose.

The broader struggle against Islamist extremism will probably continue for at least a decade, and impose heavy costs on the people of the Middle East. But ultra-radical organisations like ISIS and Boko Haram are likely to break up in bitter theological disputes a lot quicker than that.

Renewed recycling initiative could start with the coffee pod

By Lewis Zandbergen Editorial - We drink quite a bit of coffee at home and we enjoy the convenience of the single cup brewing system; we still have the one we purchased about five years ago. It wasn’t long after we began using it that we discovered the cute little pre-made cups weren’t in any way recyclable. Even though we removed the coffee grounds to enhance our compost pile, the rest of the pre-packaged convenience (fused foil and/or plastic) couldn’t be separated and ended up in the garbage. We decided instead to employ the reusable coffee filters available for these machines (at least someone was thinking). We have the convenience of single cup brewing without having to deal with just one more item headed for landfill. Although many would chime in here and say go buy a percolator, coffee three hours old doesn’t taste quite as good.

Programmed recycling in this area has been around for almost the past three decades and worldwide since time immemorial; evidence suggests the Romans recycled the metals used to mint coins.

Considering the amount of time and materials used in crafting anything new throughout history, it made perfect sense to reuse once-processed goods again and again. During wars all sorts of items were collected for recycling, from scrap metal to rags and even bones.

Throughout history we have always recycled in some fashion: I can remember collecting pop and milk bottles to take back to the store for “spending money”: that was recycling.

Getting back to the coffee ….

Single cup brewers have been around since the early 1990s (recycling programs were already in place) and you’d think one of the first responsibilities of the manufacturer would be to ensure their product was totally recyclable. According to news sources, the man who invented the single use coffee brewing system now regrets his invention. Even at the time of its debut on the consumer scene, environmentalists were already complaining; now, worldwide, billions of these seemingly innocuous little pods make their way into landfill sites. Go ahead; collect a few dozen of these things and you’ll see why it’s so troubling.

Its invention was just over two decades ago but there is a tiny, itty bitty, teensy speck of good news: the premier manufacturer of the system is promising to make the single use pods completely biodegradable; but, get this, it will take five more years. Yep, they say by 2020 the pods will be recyclable.

That is totally unacceptable and the manufacturer

should be compelled to accept all the used pods at their cost; boxes of them should be sent to the manufacturer postage free. They’ve enjoyed immense success and have no doubt made the company millions, but it’s still going to take five more years before they can recycle the pods? C’mon.

So what does this have to do with recycling on the large scale?

It’s a symptom of the ease with which we embrace an easier lifestyle often because big companies decide how to package their goods. We’ve gone from collecting the pop bottles to simply ridding ourselves of anything (roadside litter) we don’t want or need anymore and that’s just plain wrong.

I’m a huge fan of recycling. I abhor the sight of paper coffee cups and boxboard clamshells littering our roadsides. Yes, there are still people who just can’t grasp the idea of bringing the fast food detritus home and separating the garbage from reusable stuff for the blue boxes. It’s so much easier to just toss it out the car window; someone else will pick it up seems to be the litterer’s governing thought.

But recycling still has a long way to go even though a large part of the population faithfully carries blue boxes to the curb. Although the rules vary wildly in southern Ontario, to the best of my knowledge, there are no programs in place to deal with styrofoam because apparently there’s no market for the stuff. Stockpile it and wait for a market to develop seems to be the rationale. And why aren’t our medication bottles recyclable (one source says they are, another says they’re not) but the recycling triangles on the bottoms of those medication bottles carry the numbers they use in the local program.

Either way, it seems the onus is always on the consumer to make sure the stuff that finds its way into our homes is properly directed when its useful life has come to an end.

And in a world striving to be conscious of recycling, manufacturers are still bombarding us with copious amounts of all sorts of un-recyclable material.

There’s the overpackaging of everything from chewing gum to kids’ toys. After Christmas mountains of plastic were set by the curb everywhere.

So, as I reiterate, the onus is on us to make sure we recycle. But it should be on the manufacturers to make sure we are able to recycle their over-the-top packaging.

That’s why the single use coffee “pods,” should serve as the symbol of a renewed effort to persuade manufacturers to go green.

It was a pretty simple move for Peter Katcher, owner of Pollard the Mover, but it drew a lot of attention from passersby Friday morning. Katcher moved the vacant house from the property owned

by Craft Developments on the west side of No Frills on County Road 2 in Brighton, to about one and a half kilometres down the road.

Tom Ellis purchased the house and the lot and paid for the move to give his daughter Danielle Bowker and her boyfriend, Taitum Bird a good start in life. Phone and power lines were raised, and traffic lights had to be removed as it made its way down the road.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

We need to help ourselves when it comes to our hospital Dear Editor, I attended the TMH rally March 7 and was surprised at how many vacant seats there were in the auditorium.

Apathy is certainly not going to help us. No matter what meetings I attend, re: the preservation of TMH, all I hear and see are the big-wigs scratching their heads and moaning there is no more money and the only solution is to cut and slash. Any moron can do this and they certainly donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deserve a six-figure salary. I am not entirely convinced that this is so, but assuming it is, why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we pull our heads out of the sand and get on with reality.

If all the province is prepared to fund is less than the amount needed to operate, local hospitals are never going to be able to sustain a viable operation. You are not going to fill a five-litre jug with only four litres.

We are trapped into believing there is no other means to keep our hospitals running but a pitiful provincial dole out. We are behaving like beggars with cups in our hands. Time to take control of our destiny and raise additional funds that will go directly back into those institutions most threatened, our local community hospitals.

Many, many other medical institutions in our province have active, thriving fundraising initiatives, which more than adequately augment provincial handouts and allow them the independence to run themselves without the interference of multi-tiered administrative levels which have no understanding of local community concerns and place most of their fiscal resources in the larger, distant centres.

Some of these alternative funding schemes are practised by the Heart Institute in Ottawa, CHEO in Ottawa,

Bacteria Control

Dr. Brian Ho In previous issues, the topic of discussion has been tooth decay and its causes. We also described three key components to the process of tooth decay. The first of these keys is cavity-causing bacteria and the second key is sugar. We have learned that if you feed the cavity-causing bacteria with sugar, they will eat the sugar and release lactic acid, which will create holes.

These holes are what we call cavities.

This will allow other non-cavity causing bacteria to grow first so that there wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be enough room for the bad bacteria to sneak in.

Seniors Today How to eat after 50

Friendly fats People over age 50 should increase their intake of unsaturated fats and reduce consumption of saturated fats. Nutrient-rich unsaturated fats can guard against heart conditions, protect against stroke, keep skin supple, and even help men and women maintain good neurological health. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in nuts, olives, seeds, and fatty fishes.

Increase protein According to Christine Gerbstadt, MD, RD, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, as they age, men and women need more protein in their diets to maintain their muscle mass.

The amount of protein needed at a younger age no longer may be adequate. Look for lean sources of protein from fish and poultry. Beans are also a low-fat source of protein that can help fulfill daily protein requirements.

More fiber Eating more fiber can help with digestive and intestinal problems, such as constipation.

Constipation can occur when fiber intake is not enough, coupled with a more sedentary lifestyle.

The best way to get fiber is through diet. Leave the

3-Minute No-Bake Cookies INGREDIENTS: 2 Cup(s) granulated sugar 8 Tablespoon(s) (1 stick) margarine or butter 1/2 Cup(s) Low-Fat Milk 1/3 Cup(s) baking cocoa 3 Cup(s) Quaker® Oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)

PREPARATION: In large saucepan, combine sugar, margarine, milk and cocoa. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Continue boiling 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Stir in oats.* Drop by tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper. Let stand until firm. Store tightly covered.

Serving Tips: *If using old fashioned oats, cool mixture in saucepan 5 minutes.

Dietary recommendations change for people age 50 and older. weight, so caloric intake should be adjusted accordingly.

More water As a person ages, his or her body may not signal it is thirsty as well as it once did, so it’s possible that you may not recognize when you are thirsty or dehydrated. The

Mayo Clinic recommends around nine to 10 cups of beverages per day to remain hydrated.

Eating healthy and changing one’s diet is important as a person ages, as dietary needs at age 50 may be quite different from what they were at age 30.

skins on fruit and vegetables and choose whole fruits over juices. Whole-grain breads and cereals also are good sources of fiber. Dry beans and lentils can add a fiber boost. Always increase fiber slowly to determine your tolerance.

Fewer calories The National Institute on Aging says women over the age of 50 need between 1,600 and 2,000 calories, depending on how physically active they are. Men need between 2,000 and 2,400 calories per day.

With each passing year there is a decrease in the energy required to maintain body

R0013164509

As people age, their dietary needs begin to change.

Foods that were once staples of your diet as a youth may be restricted once you hit a certain age, while other foods you may have always avoided may now be necessary to fuel and support a healthy body.

Eating healthy foods and exercising may not be enough to sustain health, as hormonal changes and other health effects as a person reaches age 50 can have a profound impact on his or her nutritional requirements. The following are a few things men and women over 50 may want to consider as they look to eat a healthy diet for years to come.

Vitamin D Both men and women age 50 and up have a reduced ability to produce vitamin D through exposure to the sun. Extra vitamin D will be needed from foods and supplements. Everyone over the age of 50 should take a daily vitamin D supplement of 400 IU (10 µg), according to Canada’s Food Guide.

Without adequate vitamin D, bone strength and health can deteriorate because vitamin D promotes calcium absorption. Vitamin D also has other roles, including helping neuromuscular and immune function and reducing inflammation.

Sports - Brighton - More than two dozen novice curlers from their teens to their 60s tried out their newfound skills last week, in a friendly competition at the Brighton club. The event was the culmination of a six-week program aiming to provide quality sport competition opportunities for those with an intellectual disability.

Participants travelled from Campbellford, Quinte West, Picton and Kingston to take part.

Now in its sixth year, HELMS (Health Energy Learning Motivation through Sports) has grown from ďŹ ve partners to a collaboration of 12 supporting agencies and three ďŹ tness centres. Funding comes through provincial grants, support from various foundations and fundraising activities hosted by the steering committee.

Through participation in HELMS programming, people with an intellectual disability are able to improve their overall health, strengthen their knowledge of what constitutes a healthy lifestyle and increase natural connections to the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This gives people the opportunity to participate without having to pay,â&#x20AC;? said Community Living CampbellfordBrighton support services supervisor Melissa Gillespie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gets more people involved to try it, see if they like it and look into further opportunities.â&#x20AC;?

Community Living clientele can stay

busy throughout the year with a wide variety of activities offered under the HELMS banner. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a roster of two dozen interests on the program website, including baseball, golf, lawn bowl-

ing, horseback riding, wilderness camping, snowboarding, sledge hockey and the list is growing. Next week, a local group will be visiting Algonquin Park to participate in a dog-sledding adventure.

Brighton Relay no longer an overnight event, reunion planned for March 28 News - Brighton - There are two things you should know about this year’s Relay for Life in Brighton.

It’s being held from noon to midnight, not overnight as in years past, and organizers are encouraging cancer survivors to be more involved in the event which will take place May 30 at the King Edward Community Centre.

“Our survivors always say to us, ‘What more can we do?’” said relay chair Karen White. “They’re there because of funds that were raised that provided research that allowed them to be treated successfully and be survivors.”

So this year “we want our survivors to support survivors by actually becoming participants and … helping us raise funds,” she said. They will be charged $10 to register, the same as other participants who register at the first-ever Relay Reunion that will be held, on Saturday, March 28, at the community centre.

It will begin at 9 a.m. with a pancake breakfast and continue until noon.

Early registrants will also receive a Relay Reunion Tshirt.

Those who register after that day will pay a new fee of $25.

The drop-in event will give members of teams an opportunity to Among those working reunite and begin to help make Brighton making plans for Relay for Life another the relay. They can success this year are, l-r, also get to work event sponsors Jim and on a baton each Christine Waterhouse will carry that will (who donated $2,000), serve “as kind of sponsorship chair Sua symbol of their san Shephard, commitfundraising efforts tee chair Karen White, between the end of and Canadian Cancer March and the end Society fundraising coof May,” White ordinator Brad Warner. said.

White explained why the start time for the 12-hour Canadian Cancer Society event is being moved so it can be completed the same day.

“We want to engage more families,” she said. “We just feel people are more comfortable participating as a family with children.”

The shift in times is also intended to attract younger sports and school teams who otherwise might hesitate to join in “because they don’t want to walk overnight,” White added.

Sixty survivors attended last year’s relay, which surpassed its goal of raising $45,000 by pulling in $66,000.

“Brighton is amazing,” White said.

This year the target is $60,000 and to have more teams than the 30 who took part in 2014.

“Wouldn’t it be lovely to have 50 teams this year,” she said.

Teams can have as many as ten or as few as one, as hers does, which she calls

March 8 Brighton Braves 5 Newcastle Stars 3.

After a scoreless first period, the Stars strike first, but the Braves answer with three goals of their own and didn’t look back.

Entertainment - Brighton - Local skaters put their best skate forward last weekend as the Brighton and District Figure Skating Club celebrated their 45th anniversary with some Music and Magic on Ice, featuring tunes from throughout their history.

The organization is an independent club, and as one of the few recreational clubs left in Canada, teaches the basics of ice-skating and the fundamentals of figure skating to all ages in a friendly, caring and safe environment.

“We are proud of the progress that each and every skater has accomplished,” say the event organizers. “They’ve worked hard [and] are excited about the opportunity to perform their newly acquired skills. As parents, grandparents, guardians and friends, we can’t help but smile and show our support.” And smile they did, along with a lot of cheering and applause.

We are excited to announce that the Trenton Delicatessen has new ownership.

We would like to thank Rika Mouw for helping us make the transition a smooth and pleasant one. We are pleased to have her stay on with us, and we are honoured to take on a store with such history. We look forward to providing our patrons with traditional Dutch and German goods and we are excited to introduce cheese and charcuterie from other European countries and local artisans.

Producers rally to save Maple in the County

By Stephen Petrick

News - Carrying Place - There’s a sweet story behind this year’s Maple in the County event.

The festival, a March tradition in Prince Edward County to celebrate its maple syrup producers, was run with help from Taste the County for the past ten years.

Taste the County was an organization that promoted county agriculture businesses and restaurants.

However, when Taste the County folded last year, the people behind Maple in the County refused to give up on their festival, which was coming up on its 14th year.

The festival is now run with support from the Prince Edward County Community Development Department and is all set to go for the weekend of March 28 and 29, a time of year when maple trees are usually producing plenty of sap to make maple syrup.

A press conference to promote the festival was held Friday, March 6, at Strictly Maple, a business near Carrying Place that’s participating in the event.

There, organizers celebrated the fact that the event is soldiering on, with ten participating maple syrup producers on this year’s lineup.

“Last year when Taste announced it was closing its doors the first call we got was from Ron [Hubbs, the festival’s planning committee chair],” said Neil Carbone, Prince Edward County’s Director of Community Development.

Carbone said the festival is important for several reasons; it signifies the start of the busier tourism season and it’s an economic boost to the region, as it encourages travellers to drive through the county and support local businesses. But it’s also a sign that the worst weather of Producers and supporters of the Maple in the County festival used sap buckets for this photo-op at the Strictly Maple farm in Carrying Place on Friday, March 6. The photo was staged at a press conference the year is over. Please see “Maple” page B3 to promote this year’s festival taking place March 28 and 29. Photo: Stephen Petrick

Curle’s Sugarbush sweetens the pot this year with a new museum

By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - Sweetening the pot with something new at Curle’s Sugarbush, tools of the trade dating to the 1800s are on display in a new museum on site.

The Maple Museum, which occupies 1,000 square feet of the upper level of the Curle family’s former horse barn, was started last spring but this is the first maple syrup season that it will be fully open.

“When we were doing renovations here [in the Sugar Shack] we started to realize how many things we have about the place that we’ve actually used in the 45 years of marriage that we’ve been making maple syrup … and Marc, of course, has been doing it longer with his

family,” said his wife Diane Curle.

Curle’s Maple Products and Museum tapped into seven generations of family history at a special sesquicentennial celebration held in 2012 on the Curle homestead, and that pride in their tradition is evident in the newly created display of artefacts.

From a pot flat pan dating to 1862, to syrup tins on a shelf, to “acknowledging the First Nations contribution of introducing pioneers to syrup,” the museum houses memorabilia and items from days gone by, most of which has been used by past generations of the Curle family.

“We used to bring our hay and straw in here,” said Diane as she took this writer on a tour of the museum.

Being the fifth generation of Curles, there was plenty on tap to see. “ T h e r e ’s grandad’s buckets … everything

standing still he painted red,” she said with a chuckle.

“And there’s an 1880s evaporator that was used.”

Today the Curles have a pellet-fired evaporator which they installed recently, which is more efficient and takes up less space.

“The museum kind of evolved … so you start out with one piece of equipment and you go on and on. It’s all history that we have lived through and family before us and our part of it,” Diane explained.

A large bucket with a motor that operated brushes inside and which was used to clean the sap buckets at the end of the season is in the museum. Tapping tools from the past and syrup decanters collected over the years are also among the museum’s treasurers.

Putting the museum together was fun for Diane.

“I had been to other museums and I enjoy that kind of thing. This museum is kind of something we’ve actually lived so that’s what makes it a little bit unique.

D R WO

It’s the Curle family progression. It wasn’t even a thought process it just came together,” she said.

“I had an idea that when you put these all together it tells a story.”

With the maple syrup season just starting, the Curles will now be busy getting their new product ready so the self-guided tours will be a bonus for visitors.

“Most years we are done tapping by now but it’s been so much snow and it’s so cold … we’ll go in now. It’ll take us

four or five days to tap,” said Marc.

They expect to have new product available soon but there is still syrup from last year available.

“Soon any leftover syrup I start converting into sugar but I held off because the syrup crop is so late coming in,” noted Diane.

The Curle’s Sugar Shack is open all year from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

News - Campbellford - A registered massage therapist by trade and an animal lover by nature, Jessica Mechetuk will be travelling to New Orleans in the latter role to donate $1,500 to the Villalobos

Rescue Center.

It’s a non-profit rescue, rehabilitation and placement facility for abused and abandoned pit bulls, whose founder, Tia Torres, and crew are featured in an American reality television series, Pit Bulls & Parolees, shown on Animal Planet.

With “everything they do and the expense of it all, I just figured there’s something I can do,” Mechetuk said.

The owner of JEDM Therapies will be delivering more than money to the centre in New Orleans in late April; she and her boyfriend, Kevin Roberts, will be driving down in a vehicle loaded with dog crates and several containers of towels, blankets, leashes and other supplies.

They plan to volunteer at the centre while down there.

Mechetuk is a long-time fan of the television show which has been on the air for six seasons.

She once owned a pit bull until she had to put it down about 11 years ago for health reasons.

“She was awesome, the smartest dog I ever had,” she said of the pet she acquired when it was a pup and kept for eight years until spinal disease set in.

Today she owns a pair of boxers. supports. The same is true for a special for $30, and an introductory class in “I love animals,” Mechetuk said, but event she has planned for March 27 when therabands, a low-impact strengthening “dogs have always been number one” on 30-minute massages will be offered technique. her list.

Animal abuse disgusts her, it’s no different from abuse of the elderly or children.

“It’s all important to me that people treat those who haven’t a voice with respect,” she said. Unfortunately, “it happens too often that it’s not done that way.”

Mechetuk stands up for dogs who have been mistreated or abandoned through her Help the Helpless program, which generates funds that assist dog rescues and shelters throughout Ontario and support the pet food bank in Brighton.

She also donates to the humane societies in Quinte West and Peterborough.

Mechetuk does volunteer work as well, with Homeward Bound and Boxer Rescue, transporting animals, inspecting houses, doing temperament tests on dogs, and interviewing possible adoptive and foster care families over the phone.

Mechetuk currently has a draw for a $250 gift basket, with all the proceeds from the sale of $5 tickets to be divided among all the rescues and shelters she

Maple in the County set for end of March

Continued from page B1

“It’s a symbol of the end of winter; it’s a sign that spring is around the corner and I think that’s why everyone comes out,” Carbone said.

Hubbs said people involved in Maple in the County were only too happy to step up and resume some of the gritty administrative work needed to make the festival run. He said with Taste of the County no longer running the festival, organizers are trying to put a heavier emphasis on promoting the farms

involved.

The committee’s been working for several months to get the festival ready, Hubbs said. He explained the festival works similar to an art tour. Participants are encouraged to pick up a map and travel to the various participating farms to see the products they’re offering over the weekend.

“We sell a lot of maple syrup and we sell a lot of value-added products,” Hubbs said. “It’s good for the producers.

People always seem to come out

and meet at the farms and the sugar bushes.”

The ten participating producers are: Sweetwater Cabin/Hubbs Sugarbush, Fosterholm Farms, Vader’s Maple Syrup, Nyman Farms, Honey Wagon Farms, Sugarbush Vineyards, Waupoos Estates Winery & Sugarbush, Walt’s Sugar Shack, Strictly Maple and Three Dog Winery & Sugarbush.

More information on these producers and the festival map are available at <www.mapleinthecouunty.ca>.

TRAVEL

Cooking in a volcano in Portugal’s Furnas Valley

By John M. Smith

Lifestyles - In last week’s travel piece, I talked about a recent visit to Portugal’s Azores, a group of nine volcanic islands in the Atlantic Ocean.

Well, I’ve decided that this week I’ll focus on my favourite day trip I took while on Sao Miguel Island in the Azores. After all, it was to the fascinating Furnas Valley, which positively trembles with thermal activity.

She confided that she certainly enjoyed her life now on Sao Miguel, for she’s an avid cyclist and hiker, and this area offers several “wonderful hiking trails” and some “great offroad mountain biking routes.” She further told me that many Azoreans have migrated, over the years, to the Toronto and Vancouver areas, and many of them regularly return “home” in May for the major religious festival, the “Festival of the Christ of Miracles,” which is always held on the fifth Sunday after Easter. She said, “This is the toughest time of the year to find hotel ac-

commodations, for the islands are particularly busy.”

I visited Sao Miguel Island and did this Furnas tour back in February, when the cold and snow were playing havoc back here in Canada.

It was also the winter season in Europe, but it was a rather pleasant 15C there (“windbreaker weather”). However, I’d think that May or June would be an even better time to visit the Azores, for it would be warmer then, at the peak of their whale-watching season, and the plentiful hedges of hydrangeas that act as fences and barriers would be in full bloom.

Honourable Mention: Dania MaderaLerman, Havelock, for her watercolour “Blues”; Judy Hopkins, Baltimore, for her acrylic on canvas “Rooster Study”; and Diane Arsenault, Grafton, for her acrylic on canvas “Japonica Aquilegia.”

The Best Photograph award, sponsored by The Holmestead: Print and Business Services, was won by Brian Tyson of Hastings for “Milk Truck.”

“The image drew me in from the moment I looked at it: the complexity of the image made up of textures, shiny surfaces, lines, the orthogonal lines drawing us in to the centre where a milk truck awaits us, with the driver’s foot hanging over the open window ledge, the cartoon of a cow … all punctuated by a dramatic and looming sky. I kept on wanting to look at it and explore more and more,” said Browne.

Honourable Mention: Mary Weilandt of Warkworth for “Glass.”

The fourth and final category Best 3D or Mixed Media, sponsored by Warkworth Remedy’s Rx, was won by Suzanne Towns of Campbellford for her fibre art “Untitled.”

“The first thing I noticed was its tactile quality. I wanted to touch it, explore its surfaces, the layers of felting all combining to create a wonderful blob of organic matter. The colours, the material, the holes, the scrunching of the material, the playfulness of the form contribute to a fabulous piece of sculpture,” said Browne.

Honourable Mention: Rob Cochrane of Roseneath for his serpentine stone carving “Orca.”

Keeping track of bird migrations

By Richard Turtle

News - Ivanhoe - Mike Burrell has spent a lot of time watching birds, and after years of formal study, he says there is a lot to be learned from their behaviour.

Burrell spoke to a packed house last week at the Huntingdon Veterans Memorial Hall, explaining how ordinary citizens can participate in a variety of programs that involve bird enthusiasts from around the world.

The talk was the third in this season’s well-attended Winter Speaker Series and, explained Hastings Stewardship Council representative Jim Pedersen, the information sessions that touch on a range of topics, are intended “to help us all be better stewards of the land.” Upcoming presentations include John and Janet Foster’s Stories From the Wild on March 19, and Pam Sangster and Daniel Tubb’s geology and mining talk scheduled for April 2.

But last week it was all about the birds.

Burrell, who works as the Important Bird Areas Co-ordinator for Bird Studies Canada, admits he has the perfect job for someone whose interest in bird watching began in public school. “I don’t see how you couldn’t be interested in birds,” he told the crowd of more than 100, the vast majority of whom didn’t consider them-

selves birders when asked for a show of hands. But when asked how many maintained feeders, or paid particular attention to the presence of birds around their homes, the number of hands increased dramatically.

In his talk, Burrell discussed his work with Bird Studies Canada, studying migratory patterns and nesting and feeding behaviours, as well as his vacation time spent doing much the same. A recent trip to Ecuador, where the population of Canadian warblers was at a seasonal high, was particularly memorable, he says. A species at risk, he says the Canadian warbler is represented in the Bird Studies logo and is one of many he considers to be a favourite.

But his list of favourites was a long one and Burrell has been busily encouraging others to appreciate the avian life around them.

“All of you are potential scientists,” he said, noting there are various Bird Studies Canada sanctioned programs that are open to the general public. And the data being collected as a result of numerous initiatives around the world, he says, has greatly increased our understanding of bird populations and risk factors involved in the various migrations. By studying birds, and maintaining ongoing programs to track their numbers, trends and behaviours, he adds, the

results can often serve as indicators for the rest of the environment.

It is through programs such as the Christmas Bird Count and Project FeederWatch that individuals can report their own findings and download them into databases on the Internet.

Using maps and graphs during his presentation, Burrell noted that there are several sites nearby that are of international significance because of the role they play in migratory patterns. And many of those share common characteristics that make them particularly appealing as resting places for species in transit.

A resident of Kingston, who also works at the Bird Studies offices in Port Rowan, Burrell says many birding enthusiasts are familiar with Napanee, Presqu’ile and other locations in and around Prince Edward County because of the prevalence of a variety of species at different times of year.

Through its educational and stewardship programs, Burrell says, Bird Studies is seeing a significant increase in reporting and that is helping volunteers and members make a difference for Canada’s birds.

Further information about Bird Studies Canada, membership and the programs offered, is available on the Internet at <www. Mike Burrell provided some insight into the behaviour of various bird species and what can be learned by studying them around the year in the various locations they inhabit.
