Empire Cider says thank you to government for massive boost By John Campbell Brighton - The provincial government’s move to open up the craft cider market to include grocery stores and farmers’ markets is a “massive” boost for the industry, says the owner of Empire Cider. The regulatory changes are “very much appreciated,” Chris McRae told Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi at a press conference held Monday at the Codrington-area cidery.The event was organized by Rinaldi “to celebrate locally” what his government is doing across the province to increase access to beer, wine and cider. Ultimately, all three alcoholic beverages will be sold at 300 grocery stores when the plan is fully implemented. Currently, the sale of cider with an alcoholic content is restricted to the LCBO, wine retail stores, bars and restaurants. Rinaldi said big breweries “are losing sales by the minute” while micro-breweries and micro-cideries are growing at a “super rate,” which is “helping the economy.” Allowing cider to be sold at farmers’ markets – like the one that operates in the summer at Codrington – is “a huge bonus for rural Ontario.” Rinaldi called McRae and his wife Jennifer Jarrel, who are co-owners of Empire Cider with another couple,
“real pioneers” in a new industry. All four work full-time at other jobs, McRae at 8 Wing in Trenton, Jarrel for the school board. Empire started up in 2014 and has grown so much that the owners plan to almost double the size the 1,000-square foot facility on the Old Wooler Road to add to its production and storage capacity. “There’s just not enough room,” McRae told the small gathering. “The next press conference we’d like to have a hundred or so people in here.” Empire made 10,000 litres its first year, 20,000 litres the second, and the hope is to “double again for the next year,” McRae said. The company uses seven varieties of applies grown locally at Dunnett’s Orchards to manufacture five kinds of ciders, with more flavours being developed. Its products include Dark Star, named after the winning horse in the 1953 Kentucky Derby whose trainer was born and raised in Brighton. Another is called Midnight Run, in tribute to the area’s rum runners of the 1920s. The ciders are sold at about 30 restaurants between Toronto and Kingston as well as on the premises (four days a week in the summer and on weekends in the winter). Their alcoholic content varies from 6.4 to 7 per cent. The big bottles, 650 ml, sell for $10, the little bottles, 500
ml, sell for $6. odd farmers’ market,” McRae said The Ontario Craft Cider Association “We’re not big enough to go supply afterwards. says annual cider sales in Ontario total grocery stores across the province The business is growing “way faster” around $70 million, of which 70 per but we are big enough to go to the than the partners anticipated. cent is imported cider.

Brighton Council: Mac’s mum on plans By Joyce Cassin Brighton – A request to Mac’s Convenience to conduct a Level II environmental assessment appears to have fallen on deaf ears. Several requests have gone unanswered but Mayor Mark Walas says Mac’s has been involved in a $1.69 billion business agreement with ESSO. “It may seem like they’ve been involved with other things at this point in time before coming back to the table here in Brighton,” Walas said. Walas added that he has no knowledge as to whether demolition permits have been issued. Tighe said Mac’s has been silent and he doesn’t know what’s happening. In other council news: Tim Hortons application The Tim Hortons store plans are slowly moving forward. Tighe said Monday night that the rezoning application has been issued for Tim Hortons in the No Frills parking lot, but it’s not complete as there are requisite studies that have to be filed. With taking up a portion of the No Frills parking lot, parking could become an issue. Tighe said parking allocations depend on the use, and he said requirements will be considered before recommending the application to council. Walking trial vetoed Amit Tamrakar wanted to clean up an unopened road allowance at the Brighton/Cramahe boundary near Lakeshore Road to make it an inviting walking trail, but council was worried about liability and put the kibosh on it.
Deputy Mayor Brian Ostrander asked for confirmation that an unopened road allowance is indeed public property and anyone can wander at will, and it was confirmed. Planning consultant Darryl Tighe said no one need ask for permission to go on the road allowance, but the issue was that ratepayers would be encouraged to use the trail if it was cleared, and that would cause more of a liability issue. Coun. Steve Baker asked that staff monitor the road allowance to ensure no changes were made despite council denying the request. Kuipers to sign agreement After winning his appeal this summer to build at 62 Chapel Street, Len Kuipers will finally get a municipal agreement in hand that will allow him to move forward with his plans to build a semi-detached family dwelling. Kuipers had asked for a minor variance to allow a smaller setback on the infilling lot and council denied him that right last year. Change to the OP required If the Moran family wants permission to sever off their land into four parcels, they may have to request a change in the Brighton Official Plan. Paul and Lorraine filed a consent application, but with the Cty Rd 30 lands being allocated as agricultural and zoned rural, the only ways they can get approval is to either file for a OP change or wait until the municipality updates it. The last OP was submitted for approval in 2010 but not approved until 2014. Generally municipalities submit new OPs every five or so years.

Highway of Heroes Tribute campaign gaining traction Brighton - Expert gardener Mark Cullen asked audience members for “a great favour” when they turned out for his presentation at King Edward Park Community Centre last week: get involved in the Highway of Heroes Living Tribute. He’s chair of the board in charge of the campaign to plant 117,000 trees on Highway 401 from CFB Trenton to Toronto, one for every fallen Canadian soldier since Confederation. Since its launch last November, after three years of negotiations to secure approval from the Ministry of Transportation to plant the trees, the campaign is “getting a lot of traction,” he said. The goal is to plant the trees over a five-year period at a cost of $20 million; $700,000 has already been donated or pledged, so it’s off to a good start, and none of it is government money,” Cullen said. “I feel that the average Canadian is really quite willing to support this. If we all put a dollar in we’d have more
than enough money to do the job.” A private donor “is covering all the administration costs,” which includes an executive director, so every dollar that is donated goes directly to tree planting, Cullen said. The tribute is much more ambitious than planting 117,000 trees along the highway. “When we’re done – we’re not going to be done,” Cullen said. “We’re going to plant 2.2 million more trees, one for every person who ever served in the Canadian Armed Forces.” Private landowners within a kilometre on either side of the Highway of Heroes will be asked to join in. Landscape Ontario, the industry trade association that represents landscaping professionals, has pledged to provide trees, soil, mulch, equipment and manpower, he said. It has been “hugely helpful,” as has Forest Ontario, “the exclusive agent for planting trees” on the 401’s rightof-way. A donation of $50 buys a small tree two to three feet high; one six to eight
feet costs $170. The survival rate is recognized for by the United Nations To make a donation, sign up for a Education, Scientific and Cultural newsletter or learn how to become a expected to be 95 per cent, he said.

OPINION
Obama’s minimalist foreign policy If the US Congress had not imposed a two-term limit on the presidency in 1947 after Franklin D. Roosevelt’s record four electoral victories, President Barack Obama would be a safe bet for a third term next November. He inherited the worst recession since the Great Depression, and the United States Gwynne Dyer now has the healthiest economy of all the major powers, with unemployment back down to 5.5 per cent. But Obama can’t run for president again, so the time has come for the pundits to start delivering their assessments on the success or failure of his policies. First up is Jeffrey Goldberg, national correspondent for The Atlantic magazine, with a lengthy article called “The Obama Doctrine” on the man’s conduct of American foreign policy over the past seven and a half years. As you would expect when discussing a man whose basic rule is “Don’t do stupid shit”, Goldberg’s piece is mostly an examination of what Obama didn’t do, not what he did. He didn’t go to war with the Assad regime in Syria. He didn’t get into a new Cold War with Russia over Ukraine. He didn’t bomb Iran, instead making a political deal to block its nuclear weapons ambitions. He didn’t attack North Korea even when it did test nuclear weapons. None of these foreign policy choices would be remarkable if we were talking about Japan or Canada or Germany. Even in former imperial powers like Britain and France, where the interventionist reflex is still alive and kicking, Obama’s choices would not be controversial. But in the Washington foreign policy establishment, where every conflict on the planet tends to be redefined as an American problem and almost unlimited military force is available to attack the problem, Obama’s approach was heretical. Democrats were just as opposed to his heresy as Republicans. Indeed, despite the wreckage of George W. Bush’s invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq that Obama’s administration inherited when it took office in early 2009, his own first secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, was a classic interventionist. After she left office in 2013, Clinton told Goldberg that “the failure to build up a credible fighting force of the people who were the originators of the protests against Assad ... left a big vacuum, which the jhadists have now filled.” But Hillary Clinton actually got her way on Syria. The real failure of American policy on Syria in 2011 was the tolerance extended to Turkish, Qatari

and Saudi Arabian shipments of arms and money that were intended to subvert the faltering non-violent revolution and replace it with an armed revolt whose goal was a Sunni Islamic state, not a secular democracy. Obama and Clinton must share the blame for the fact that the United States became part of this operation in early 2012, providing arms that it sourced from Libya to avoid Congressional oversight. By then the non-violent protests had been largely suppressed and Syria was stumbling into a civil war – which subsequently killed 300,000 people and turned half the country’s population into refugees. Most Syrians would now agree that it would have been better to accept the failure of the non-violent movement and the continued rule of the execrable Assad regime than to see their country virtually destroyed. I suspect that Obama sees Clinton’s Syrian policy, in hindsight, as the greatest mistake of his time in office – but he did partially redeem himself by refusing to bomb Syria during the “poison gas” episode of 2014. Clinton also told Goldberg in 2014 that “great nations need organising principles, and ‘Don’t do stupid stuff’ is not an organising principle.” Nobody said it was, but it is a good guide when deciding on actual policies, and Obama has been pretty consistent in observing it even with regard to the Middle East. His fundamental insight – and his greatest break with the orthodoxy of the American foreign policy establishment – has been to understand that very little that happens or could happen in the Middle East is a threat to America’s vital interests. Even Israel’s well-being is only a sentimental consideration for the United States, not a strategic one, although like all American politicians he is obliged to pretend otherwise. Only if the Islamist extremists of the Nusra Front and Islamic State were to overrun all of Syria would Israel be in any danger, and the Russian military intervention in support of Assad’s regime since last September has largely eliminated that possibility. So Obama has been free to concentrate on the issues that he thinks are really important, and that is where he has made real progress. His foreign policy has been minimalist only with regard to the traditional “strategic” concerns inherited from the Cold War and America’s long, deep and mostly futile engagement with the Middle East. In his “pivot” to Asia, in re-establishing ties with Cuba, above all on the issue of climate change (which he rightly sees as the crucial issue for the next generation and beyond), he has been an activist in his foreign policy – and a largely successful one. Neither Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump, the two main contenders for the succession, will be a patch on him.

Think the Wynne government is hated? Think again Editorial - Chris Malette
In the second year of her mandate, Premier Kathleen Wynne has the unenviable approval rating of about 30 per cent of the voters in this province, according to opinion polls released last month. Those aren’t numbers that any leader should welcome, but early in any term, when the heavy lifting and dirty jobs are done (Ontario Hydro sell-off, anyone?), they’re not unthinkably low. While the official opposition Progressive Conservatives will tell you the province is on the road to rack and ruin – which is, after all, their job – the reception in rural Ontario, where the Wynne Liberals have been castigated for having lost touch, is decidedly warmer on several fronts. One of the reasons for that is the fact the governing Liberals have continually winnowed away at the myriad of downloaded costs for all manner of services, offloaded by the Mike Harris Conservatives in the days of the Common Sense Revolution (the same folks who brought you shotgun wedding hospital corporations like Quinte Health Care and amalgamated municipalities). Last week, for instance, Hastings/Quinte Social Services committee approved a 2016 budget that will bring modest savings to municipal taxpayers. Part of the reason for that is the gradual assumption by the province of costs for social services that had once been a massive burden to municipalities. The budget has a net cost of $17,266,964, a reduction of 1.37 per cent from last year’s budget. “The net cost is actually going down, it’s equivalent to $240,000 (in savings)” said Hastings County’s finance director Sue Horwood. She presented the budget in a presentation with Social Services Director Steve Gatward. The savings were achieved, in large part, because the provincial government continues to upload costs that a few years ago were the sole responsibility of municipal governments. Payments to Ontario Works recipients, one of the biggest budget items for social services organizations, is now largely a provincial responsibility. This year, Ontario is handling 71 per cent of Hastings County’s Ontario Works costs. Last year it was 57 per cent. That change represents a

$791,100 in savings for taxpayers, locally. Too, there was good news for many sectors in the provincial budget, brought down two weeks ago. (That is, unless one is a smoker, or drives a gas-guzzling car or truck…) Brighton Mayor Marc Walas commended the provincial government for its 2016 budget, saying its support for job creation, infrastructure projects and wider access to post-secondary education is “very exciting” as well as “very encouraging.” He was also encouraged by what he had heard at the Ontario Good Roads Association and Rural Ontario Municipal Association Combined Convention held days earlier in Toronto. Wynne announced her government was tripling the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF) from $100 million to $300 million per year by 2018-19, which Walas said will create “a greater opportunity” for communities under 100,000, such as Brighton, to secure funding for critical infrastructure projects. Dianne Spencer, executive director of student advancement at Loyalist College, said the college is “delighted” that “greater access” to postsecondary education will be made available to young people who “might not otherwise be able to attend.” “It makes a huge difference for them to be able to get started,” she said, noting the effect financial assistance programs have had in the past. “You open the door ... and very good things happen. We know how important that is for our economy.” But, it’s not all wine and roses, especially when it comes with rural municipalities groaning under the weight of OPP policing costs. Police services and their costs remain a key issue for many municipal politicians in Hastings County. It’s early days in this government’s term, but despite the braying from opposition members in these parts, there are actually fronts on which several local municipal leaders think the government is on track. But, again, when was the last time you heard of any government, at any level, that was widely hailed, week-in and week-out, as all things to all people, universally loved and the best thing since Sir John A? That’s right, never.

OPP Report: Kijiji scam, Masonic ring stolen East Northumberland-A Brighton resident notified Northumberland OPP March 13 he had been asked to pay $900 in shipping costs via Western Union to a potential buyer of a motorcycle he had advertised on Kijiji. No money was paid. Western Union confirmed this is a common fraud on Kijiji. A break-in at a home on Division Street in Colborne was reported shortly after 12 noon March 12. The homeowner said cash, two gold
men’s rings – one a Masonic ring with a red stone, the other inscribed with ‘To Ed, love June forever’ – and several medications were taken. Police responded to report of a domestic dispute at a Cramahe Township residence March 11. An investigation led to a man being charged with spousal assault, assault, mischief under $5,000 and cruelty to animals. A Brighton man who is a partner in an online business told police
his company had been defrauded $75,000 by another partner. Officers determined the fraud occurred in the United States and advised him to notify the appropriate law enforcement agency there. A Honda Accord was measured travelling 171 km/h on Highway 401 in the Brighton area March 9. A 34-year-old Belleville woman was charged with stunt driving, had her driver’s licence suspended for seven days and her car impounded
for the same length of time. Police were asked to check on the well-being of an elderly relative in Trent Hills by a Toronto-area family member. The senior told police he did not wish to communicate with that relative. A hospital worker in Campbellford made comments on Facebook that prompted management to raise concerns with police March 8. An investigation determined the comments were not criminal in

nature but officers advised the employee to vent her frustrations over working conditions through proper channels rather than publicly through social media. An elderly dementia sufferer was found wandering in Brighton in her night gown at 6 a.m. She was taken to an area hospital by ambulance as a precaution and the Alzheimer’s Society was contacted to provide assistance to the family. Police were called to an address in Brighton when a taxi fare refused to put out a cigarette and not drink in the cab. The man left the cab before police arrived. A 39-year-old Hastings man found in possession of a weapon was charged for breach of recognizance March 7 after being stopped during a RIDE check on County Road 45 in Trent Hills. Officers responded to two mental health-related calls in Trent Hills in the early hours of the morning March 6. One involved an individual who was taken to hospital for treatment after threatening to harm himself. The other was as a result of alcohol consumption and the person was left in the care of a family member. A Brighton resident overdosed deliberately and was transported to an area hospital for treatment. A car’s windshield was reported smashed while the vehicle was parked on King Street in Colborne. Males were reported walking with rifles in the area of Cameron Road in Brighton March 5. Police investigated and determined they were properly licensed and hunting coyotes. Two investigations were launched at Warkworth Institution March 4. One involved a weapon made in the prison, the other stemmed from the discovery of drugs and contraband. Police received word an individual had driven his car into a wooded area in a Brighton park for the purpose of harming himself. He was transported to an area hospital for treatment of his minor injuries. He also treated for the state of his mental health.
Businesses ‘hurting’ as lone river crossing remains closed, dividing village By John Campbell Hastings – A divided community is putting the squeeze on local businesses, as everyone feared would happen when the village’s lone bridge across the Trent River was closed to make way for its replacement. “We’re down about 40 per cent” in sales at Banjo’s, said Mike Metcalf, co-owner of the restaurant on the south side of Hastings. But the bridge’s closure Jan. 4 is having an even greater impact because business has been increasing 15 to 20 per cent at Banjo’s the first few months of every year, he said. When you add the current drop-off in customers to the reversal of “that upward trend then it becomes a large amount.” Bill Britton, owner of the Captain’s Table, estimated business is down about 30 per cent at his fish and chips
diner north of the bridge. “It’s had quite an impact on this side,” he said. “It’s sad to see some of the places over here struggling as much as they are. People are losing their jobs [or] getting laid off.” Britton was forced to lay off three of his part-time staff. Vasantha Selvanayagam said she has “lost more than half” her business at the Hastings Ultramar Gas and Food Mart as a result of less traffic passing by her doorstep on the south edge of Hastings. The detour for motorists is a 25-minute drive around the village. Selvanayagam said she’s “struggling” to pay bills including hydro. She had to restructure her mortgage payments, with money being tight at the business she and her family have operated for four years. Dennis Savery said his laundromat is “probably half” as busy as it nor-
mally is. The decline in sales “hurts a certain “We just planned ahead by socking a The acting president of Hastings amount, yes ... but am I going to lose little bit more money away,” he said. and District Chamber of Commerce sleep over it?

corporate gardening tips into discussions about areas of interest such as biodiversity, community gardens -- and the need to engage young people in the natural world. Failing to do so puts them at risk of “nature deficit disorder,” which made its way into the public consciousness more than a decade ago with the publication of Richard Louv’s Lost Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature Deficit Disorder. Cullen refers to it in his latest book and in public appearances. “Kids who are addicted to the computer are missing it all and it’s up to us as adults to make sure that they have a chance to be introduced to the world of nature,” he said. It was simpler years ago. “When we were kids, our mom and dad booted us out the front door and said come home for dinner, and off we went,” he said. “We had all kinds of adventures, my parents didn’t even know what we
were doing.” Today’s parents, however, have “legitimate concerns about health, allergies [and] security” that stand in opposition to granting their children the same sort of freedom, but nature is “as close as your back door,” Cullen said. “There are ways you can do it [and] I urge you to do it because it’s so important.” Get them involved in projects such as creating a garden playground or building an “insect hotel,” he said. “It’s exposing nature to children so they can discover themselves the joy that comes from being there.” And “it’s not just for kids,” Cullen added, because adults can learn through their children’s or grandchildren’s experiences in the garden. Cullen’s visit was arranged by the Friends of Brighton Public Library and Lighthouse Book Store, with all proceeds from the sale of tickets going to the library.

Bylaw taking shape in Cramahe to allow chickens in the backyard Cramahe Township -- The township is on the verge of allowing chickens to be kept in backyards in residential zones throughout the municipality. When council members got their first look at the proposed licensing bylaw March 8, two of them questioned a licensing fee of $50 the second year after the initial fee of $75. Councillor Ed Van Egmond said if council is “going to be forward thinking” and allow people to raise chickens for eggs, the $50 fee “just becomes too onerous or too cost prohibitive” to keep the maximum number of birds allowed, four hens. Mayor Marc Coombs said he wasn’t in favour of the $50 fee either but bylaw enforcement officer Holly Grant said the fee being proposed covers her costs of following up after the initial application to keep hens has been approved. Deputy Mayor Sandra Arthur questioned some of the provisions the bylaw sets for the care of the birds. “I don’t know how we can be the judge of what is care of the chickens,” she said. The bylaw states the licensee must provide access to feed and clean water at all times, keep the birds “in a clean, healthy condition free from vermin and disease”
and treat all hens “in a humane manner.” Any hen “not receiving the appropriate care” in the opinion of the bylaw officer may be removed. The hens are to be kept in a coop between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. The coop cannot exceed three metres by three metres or stand higher than 4.5 metres. Roosters and guinea fowl will not be allowed. Contravention of the bylaw will result in a fine up to $5,000 for a first offence, and up to $10,000 for a second occurence. Work on the bylaw was initiated last year following a request from a resident who wanted to raise chickens on her property. In her report to council, Grant said a yearly licence “will permit the keeping of hens in a residential zone, yet put in place the necessary safeguards for abutting residential properties.” She also pointed out a zoning bylaw amendment will be needed, which is “a more involved process” that could result in appeals to the Ontario Municipal Board. Under its terms, hens will only be allowed on properties at least a half-acre. Council members are to communicate any comments, questions or concerns they have to Grant by March 25, so that she can have a bylaw ready for council to approve April 5.

Township will get around to Give blood – win at day with Lou shaping budget later this month By Joyce Cassin
By John Campbell Cramahe Township -- Council will begin working of the township’s 2016 municipal budget March 22. Members were presented with a proposed budget last week along with numerous issue papers that staff had begun work on before new treasurer Nicole Leach-Bihun assumed her duties two weeks earlier. Discussion of the documents contents was put off until later this month to allow time for inclusion of last year’s actual expenditures and revenues still to be determined. The numbers became an issue last October when the township found itself in a deficit position of $400,000. The treasurer was subsequently dismissed and the position left vacant until Leach-Bihun’s recent hiring. “Council needs to go away and take a look at this document and digest it,” CAO Dan O’Brien said. Staff was “very pressed” to produce the document, “but this is a good start.” Leach-Bihun encouraged council members to give her guidance on what they would like to see in the budget before they meet next. “We’re not required to have our tax rate actually established until May,” clerk Julie Oram said. Although other municipalities are “a little bit further ahead” with their budgets, Cramahe “can be back on track” with the budget process by the the latter part of April, she said. Deputy Mayor Sandra Arthur wanted to press ahead sooner rather than to wait another two weeks, but Oram said that without actual figures from last
year in front of council members, “it’s kind of a futile discussion.” Arthur pointed out that O’Brien’s resignation, submitted earlier this year, takes effect March 16 and his input will be needed to move forward. “He’s agreed to stick around until this process is completed so I wouldn’t worry about it,” Mayor Marc Coombs said. Arthur asked about whether there will be an increase or decrease in the “overall total” but LeachBihun said that hasn’t been her “focus” at this stage. Burke Friedrichkeit, president of the Cramahe Community Association, said “a lot of people are complaining about the condition of the roads” and he asked if council had a plan to address those problems. O’Brien said he has proposed in the budget that the five-years roads plan the municipality has been working with be updated. Councillor Don Clark warned that “to fix any road is almost impossible” because the township, with just 6,000 residents, doesn’t have a large enough tax base to generate the amount of capital required. “We get about 10 per cent of what we need for roads each year in our taxes,” he said. “Unfortunately, we can’t pull a rabbit out of the hat.” Unless the township gets funding from the provincial or federal governments, “it’s just not going to happen,” Clark said. “It’s almost like building a new arena when you do two or three roads, that’s how much it costs.” Coombs said the municipality has been pressuring both levels of government for funding for quite some time.
Barfoot said there is even a teacher challenge. “I am basically reaching out to the schools and asking them to setup a group booking with me of five or more appointments,” Barfoot said. “Emails were sent to the principals and vice principals of the schools in Brighton, and staff, administration, teachers, etc. will book directly with the school contact and send me a listing four days prior to the clinic date. Last spring when I held the Teacher Challenge we were very successful in the Kingston area. She added that this is the first year she sent out the challenge to Brighton, and she’s hoping it can gain some momentum. The clinic takes place at the Fellowship Christian Reformed Church, 204 Main Street, on Friday April 1 from 1:30 to 6:30 p.m.. Appointments are preferred, although walk-ins are gratefully accepted. Appointments can be made by calling 1-888-2-DONATE (1-888-236-6283), downloading the app, or by visiting www.blood.ca.
Brighton - To win a day at Queen’s Park with Northumberland Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi, including lunch, all you have to do is give the gift of life on April 1. Rinaldi has been a regular blood donor until recently, and if he can’t donate a pint, he’s happy to foot the bill for a guided tour of Queen’s Park, if that will help Canadian Blood Services meet its goal of 96 units of blood on April 1. “Blood really is the gift of life, and I’m happy to do this to help raise awareness of the need for this gift that you have in you to give,” Rinaldi said. Rinaldi will be at the clinic between 5 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. handing out ballots to donors, with the draw to take place at 6:30. “We hold a bi-monthly clinic in Brighton, and our last three clinics collected an average of 82% of the target for the clinics held on Oct. 9, Dec. 4 and Feb. 5,” said Debbi Barfoot, Kingston territory manager for CBS. Mayor Mark Walas has been encouraging council members and municipal staff to roll up their sleeves and donate, and even the Brighton - Cramahe Chamber of Commerce is looking at contributing in some way. • Thermal Glass Replacement “As much as the Chamber of Com• Window & Door Repairs merce is made up of business mem• Replacement Doors & Windows bers, our mandate is actually broader than that,” said office manager, Sherry Hamilton. “We want to contribute to a 613-475-2390 healthy community, not just a healthy 103 Middle Ridge Rd., Brighton business community, although I personally believe the two are intrinsically mrgs@middleridgeglass.com www.middleridgeglass.com connected.”

Here come the charismatic Craig Sisters By Victor Schukov Two recent arrivals to Brighton personify the term, “When life hands you lemons, make lemonade.” Sisters Shelley and Barbie Craig suffered an abusive upbringing as fosters kids in Montreal. “Because I had emotional problems,” says Shelly, “they kept us together. Barbie spoke for me.” Shelly and Barbie were four and six years old, respectively, when they were sent to their first of three foster homes. In the third house, they were beaten every day for eight years. Pretty badly, too, including injuries like broken arms. Eventually, they were reunited with another sister who was married to a soldier and lived on the Trenton military base. There is a silver lining to this sad story: Barbie, a personal support worker, works with the elderly who have dementia. As a child, she was labeled ‘the strange kid on the block’ because she constantly saved street animals: “I understood how hard things could be for animals who didn’t have a voice. Dogs and cats are introduced to my Alzheimer patients, and they immediately come alive and tell stories of their own animals.” Shelly says, “I know what it is to be abused and abandoned, but I always
found love in animals because they have no expectations. As I grew up, I swore that I would always help them because they helped us.” The sisters have realized their dream in Brighton, opening a pet rescue and adoption centre for abused animals: The Victory for Animals Society. The Craigs hope to expand it into a compassion centre to help both animals and troubled children by bringing them together in therapy. Shelley says, “We want to show kids that they are loved, something we never had. I have to do this. It would be wrong if I didn’t.” They are not alone anymore, thanks to the community’s support. And their growing connections, like the Toronto Humane Society, are farreaching. Animal rights associations contact them constantly to send them on missions. Shelley recently flew to Thailand to rescue five abused dogs. The SPCA president has invited them to Malaysia and South Korea. People from Northumberland County bring in strays as well. Last week, they rescued 20 cats in Brighton. Famous author Tim Harrison, of Outreach for Animals, praised them on You-Tube, saying, “You are my heroes.” Barbie recently recovered from a medical problem, and famed British primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall
sent her a get well email from Congo. Having no government funding, the centre offers grooming for a $20 donation. They recently applied for charitable organization status, but major sponsors are needed as well as donations of any kind. On April 30 The Arts Club, at 8 Loyalist Dr., is staging a fund-raising Dine and Dance. The Legion is also
planning an event. And MYFM 100.9 radio station has given them a full month of free radio commercials for April, as part of their partner program. On September 10, they kick off a Paws to Parliament walk to Ottawa, a torch relay which will be filmed. For the relay, the Craigs are looking for someone to make them a stained glass paw that will illuminate the flame.
VFA is located at 8 Loyalist Drive Unit 10. Visit them at www. victoryforanimals.com or call 613475-3043.

Trent River harpist to perform at World Storytelling Day concert By Sue Dickens
children but the stories we tell are also adult material,” she noted. The pay-what-you-can concert takes place 2 to 4 p.m. at the Clock Tower Cultural Centre. The same concert will be held at George Street United Church, Peterborough, on March 18 at 7 p.m.
Campbellford – A World Storytelling Day concert presented by the Peterborough Storytellers featuring well-known trained singer, harpist and storyteller Angelica Otteweil of Trent River, will be held in Campbellford at the Clock Tower Cultural Centre. “We’re part of Storytellers of Canada, a big umbrella organization and the concert is in celebration of World Storytelling Day which takes place every year on March 20,” said Otteweil. A performer who combines the art of storytelling with music she has performed locally at many different venues taking her modern day expression of trobairitz to the public to not only entertain but to provide stories that range from medieval to international folk tales with celtic to contemporary music. The concert in Campbellford is promoted with the theme “Strong Women and Brave Girls with the subtitle “Feisty Females in Fable, Fact and Folklore.” This year’s performance is called “The Faithful Wife”. Otteweil explained that trobairitz were female poets and musicians of the 11th and 12th century, and Otteweil who is always on the lookout for medieval material, especially if it has a musical subject, said the plot is about “a knight who marries a poor broommaker’s Singer, harpist and storyteller Angelica Otteweil of Trent daughter because her singing and harp playing River, right, will be performing at the World Storytelling Day concert, with Tori Owen, left, and The Peterborough Storytellhas won his heart”. Other performers/storytellers joining Otte- ers at the Clock Tower Cultural Centre, Campbellford on March weil at the concert include Rita Grimaldie, 20 from 2 to 4 p.m. Photo submitted Robert Morton and Don Herald. As well Betty Bennett and Tori Owen, a new member, will be joining them. “And the best part of the concert is we’re all getting dressed in costume,” said Otteweil with enthusiasm. “Rita is a very talented mask maker. She frequently does stories in mask,” she explained. For Otteweil storytelling is key to her musical presentations. “I find the storytelling adds another dimension to my performance and makes me unique not just another #BD007 musician,” she commented. “When I look at a story I look at what kind of music works with the story and I weave it into the background, almost like a movie score.” Carrier of the Month This concert is suitable for adults and children over 12. “People think storytelling is just for

Campbellford – A Campbellford team won the Little Rock Division of the Campbellford Youth Curling Bonspiel hosted recently at Campbellford’s curling club. The bonspiel also included a Bantam event and the champions of that division was a team from the Quinte Curling Club. The winning Campbellford rink included Tyler Hart, Ben Marshall, Brandon Lindt and Ryan Lindt. The winning Quinte club rink included William Kyte, Amber Whalen, Robyn Elson and Emily Morton. Little Rock curling is for youth ages 8 to 12 years and the Bantam division is for youth ages 13 to 16 years. The day was put together by the youth curling instructors which included Rooke Meiklejohn, Jeremy Gale and Ron Hart. Many parents helped in the kitchen with the food and desserts and cleanup. The day-long bonspiel saw eight Little Rock teams and six Bantam teams compete with clubs represented from not only the host club, Campbellford, but also from Brighton, Colborne, Trenton and the Quinte club in Belleville. “Events like this give young curlers their first competitive curling experience which is much different and challenging compared to their regular, weekly sessions,” said Meiklejohn. Each team played two curling games and every curler received a trophy/medallion. “Many thanks to M&M Meats for providing the hamburgers and juice for below their cost and to Al Lowe for providing excellent ice conditions,” noted Meiklejohn. Fruit trays were donated by the Hart family. All funds raised go towards the youth program and the Campbellford curling club.
Warkworth syrup festival stars in international TV series Warkworth – When you boil it down, the 30th annual Warkworth Maple Syrup Festival had all the ingredients of an ideal family outing last weekend. The weather was grand, the sap was running, the attractions drew large crowds to both the village and Sandy Flat Sugar Bush, and the sausages and pancakes soaked with maple syrup served up by the Warkworth Community Service Club were as delicious as ever. The only thing missing was snow in large quantities, so while it wasn’t possible to go for a horse-drawn sleigh ride, there was enough about to fill a trough and pour taffy over it to make easy treats on a stick.
“It was the best in years,” said Dennis Gebhardt, head of the festival organizing committee. “We had the perfect weather. It was unbelievable.” Attendance at the sugar bush on Saturday was around 4,000, equaling last year’s total for the two days, he said. Another 2,500 turned out the following day. “Normally, Sundays aren’t quite as busy but this year there was a lot of traffic,” he said. Gebhardt credited the 200 volunteers who helped out for making the festival a success. There to take everything in was a six-person crew from Chicago filming the festival’s sights and sounds for a new online show, ‘Eat the

Globe’ for Taste Me, a food and travel production company. “We were sad there wouldn’t be snow ... but it’s been so wonderful,” said the show’s producer, Jacquelyn Jamjoon, who found it “amazing” that volunteers organize and run the event. “We’ve been covering food festivals all across the world,” she said, including a Christmas festival in Germany, an onion festival in Switzerland, and a tamale festival in California. By the time the filming is done, there will be eight episodes, each seven to 10 minutes long, “that will be coming up soon on ABC’s newest platform,” Jamjoon said. The show is hosted by Amy Shuster, a food blogger and “professional eater” who said she would be eating “a lot of taffy on snow and lots and lots of pancakes” for the episode being shot over two days. Shuster said she was “learning about the whole process of how a maple tree is tapped for sap” and maple syrup is made. “I knew nothing,” she said, other than it came in a bottle you see in a grocery store, “so this is really cool to get to actually see it coming out of a tree.” Shuster said the show is “a good

way to introduce people to what’s going on” around the world with food and cultures and to “educate them in a really fun way.” Sugar bush owner Derek Van Stam said it’s been “an excellent season so far.” Trees were tapped in January “and our first boil was Feb. 4, so we’ve been boiling over a month now,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of good syrup so far.”

Freedom to Read Week a timely reminder for library users By Bill Freeman Norwood – In the Soviet Union one of the most powerful weapons against tyranny was personal memory. In a country where written publications were controlled to the point of death, imprisonment or exile, the ability to commit a banned work or unpopular idea to memory was a little laceration against a regime that wanted to strangle to death any inclination to free expression. The 32nd annual Freedom to Read Week across Canada (Feb. 21-27) was a timely reminder to those who take for granted the liberties we have in this country, especially when it comes to the written word. “We want to recognize those books that have been challenged. We want to call attention to those
books,” says Asphodel-Norwood Public Library Head Librarian-CEO Kris Van Luven. The Asphodel-Norwood Public Library is just one of many that celebrated Freedom to Read Week with information displays and other exhibits highlighting the fact that books and publications continue to find themselves challenged for a range of reasons and that complacency can be censorship’s greatest ally. Freedom to Read Week is a project of the Book and Periodical Council of Canada which “encourages Canadians to think about and reaffirm their commitment to intellectual freedom.” According to the Canadian Library Association, in 2014 there were 83 items in library collections across Canada that were challenged for things like explicit sexuality, age appropriateness, violence
and offensive language. As well, 25 library policies involving freedom and access principles were challenged. In the United States, the American Library Association reports that 11,300 books have been challenged since 1982 with 311 challenges in 2014 alone including The Kite Runner by Kabel Hosseini and The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison. Van Luven notes that the wildly popular Harry Potter and Hunger Games series have both been challenged and that Mark Twain’s classic The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has been repeatedly challenged. To Kill a Mockingbird, a much-read and beloved work featured in school curricula across North America, was challenged as recently as 2002 in Nova Scotia. Margaret Attwood’s The Handmaid’s
Tale was challenged by a Toronto parent in 2008 and Timothy Findley’s acclaimed The Wars was subject of a challenge in 2011 by parents in Ontario’s Bluewater District School Board. In 2011, a production of Sophocles Antigone, one of the greatest works of literature ever written, was challenged by the Chief and members of the Poundmaker First Nation in Saskatchewan. “We want people to be aware that we do have these freedoms and liberties at it’s the message behind the week,” says Van Luven. The fact that a book has been challenged or banned at some point in time can give a person something extra to think about when they read that book, she says. “It brings up interesting topics. It puts another layer to what you’re reading.”

Birthday donations for the Warkworth Arena
(Left) For her seventh birthday, Kayla Marshall invited her friends from grades 1 and 2 at Percy Centennial Public School to join her for a party at the Warkworth arena – but insisted they not bring any presents. She asked that they make donations to Friends of the Warkworth Arena instead. “She loves skating and she wanted to give back to the community,” said her mother Holly who suggested the idea of a donation along with her husband Luke. “We already have a lot of toys, that’s why I wanted to do it,” Kayla said. “She knows contributions [to Friends] go towards keeping the arena healthy longer,” Luke said. “We think it’s a good lesson to teach them that we don’t need gifts, it’s nice to give back.” The volunteer group Friends has done projects in the past to help maintain the arena and it supports an addition being built onto the facility.

Library ‘the little engine that could’ in achieving five-year accreditation “We’re the little engine that could,” Trent Hills Public Library CEO Mary-Jo Mahoney says of the five-year Certificate of Accreditation the library’s three branches were awarded for meeting high standards for providing services as set out by the Ontario Public Library Guidelines Monitoring and Accreditation Council. The extensive list covered everything from programs, materials and policies to lighting, accessibility and health and safety. Two of the branches, Warkworth and Hastings, are in locations that “weren’t originally meant to be libraries, they were offices, so for us to meet those qualifications ... means a lot,” she said. It will certainly help in trying to obtain additional government funding in future. Photo by John Campbell

100 meal journey not hard to take
By Bill Freeman
Hastings – Making small changes to your diet can go a long way towards improved health and quality of life. That’s the message behind Nutrition Month’s 100 Meal Journey campaign promoted by the Dietitians of Canada. On average, a person eats 100 meals a month, says Pam Stuckless, a public health food worker with the Haliburton Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit, so small changes to those meals “will make a significant difference if you stick with them.” Stuckless supervises the popular community kitchen program in Hastings where participants have learned that healthy eating doesn’t always mean expensive eating so the 100 Meal Journey is a path they’re already navigating. The campaign’s goal is to “provide information and guidance to make it a little easier for Canadians to improve diet quality and decrease quantity,” the association says. The campaign includes “doable strategies” to help people stay on track with those changes. “Small changes could be increasing the number of vegetables you have every day or eating more whole fruits,” says Stuckless. “Just things and changes that are a little bit healthier and we know are good for us.” Stuckless says there is much more public information available about healthy eating and nutrition and things like pitfalls of eating heavily processed foods and the rise of Type II Diabetes. “People are asking more questions about how they can eat healthier and what can they change and they
are starting to make some of those changes,” she says. But there are still people who don’t heed the warnings and she says all they can do is to continue to support them and hope they eventually see the “value in making some of those changes.” Throughout March, the Dietitians of Canada are publishing tips on how people can make slight alterations to their meals and approach to eating to improve overall health, things like sweetening whole-grain hot cereal with defrosted frozen fruit instead of sugar or substituting lower fat plain yogurt for mayonnaise to make creamy salad dressing. They should also be looking for low-sodium options. People can also downsize plate portions and “manage munchies” by keeping snack food out of sight and clearing kitchen counters of all food except for a bowl of fresh fruit. “Oftentimes people haven’t been introduced to something and if you haven’t been introduced to something you might not think that’s a good idea to include in your diet,” says Stuckless. “Community kitchens give people a good opportunity to come and try things.” At their last gathering in Hastings, one item participants made was a chickpea salad sandwich. That, Stuckless notes, falls in with the “year of the pulse.” “They’re a meat alternative and a good thing to have in place of meat once or twice a week. I’m always encouraging people to use things that are flavourful instead of salt. “Diversity in food is interesting to people.” For more information visit www.

Campellford - The Community Hub Residential Model partnership between Community Living Campbellford/Brighton and Campbellford Memorial Hospital is one of two collaborations. The hospital is also participating in job trials for Community Living’s clients. For the past three years, Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH) has hosted learning experiences for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Community Living Campbellford/Brighton works with the hospital’s staff members to develop the learning experiences, learn the job and tasks before the training begins, and supports CMH staff and the trainee once they are serving in a participatory role at the hospital. “This program enables our people to learn new skills, build confidence, and develop an understanding of what it means to be a reliable and dependent worker,” explained Nancy
Brown, executive director, Community Living Campbellford/Brighton. “We’re really pleased to be partnering with Community Living in this way. We’re proud to be able to provide a positive learning experience for someone with an intellectual disability, while encouraging kindness and understanding and dispelling stereotypes associated with a disability,” added Brad Hilker, president and CEO of CMH. Campbellford Memorial Hospital has recently expanded the learning experience to include a role in its finance Department. The educational experience will include inventory management, delivery of supplies to departments, recycling, photocopying, document and mail sorting/ delivery and other administrative tasks. “Program participants bring a positive attitude and take pride in their contribution to Campbellford Memorial Hospital,” added Hilker.

Golden Hawks sweep Newmarket playoff series By Erin Stewart Trenton – The Trenton Golden Hawks beat the Newmarket Hurricanes 6-2 on Thursday, March 10, winning their fourth straight match against the team and sweeping the best of seven playoff series. The G-Hawks won the first match in the series 6-2, second game 2-0 and third 3-0. “Everybody contributed last night offensively, which was really nice to see,” said John McDonald, director of operations. Hunter Fargey, the Belleville native, and Lucan Brown had a big
game. They each scored two goals and Fargey registered one assist. Liam Morgan and Quinn Lenihan scored one each and Danny Hanlon and Mitch Emerson both picked up two assists. More assists or Trenton came from Keaton Ratcliffe, Kevin Lavoie, Curtis Harvey, Nick Boddy and Adam Clements, who each contributed one apiece. McDonald said Thursday night’s game had its good moments and also sloppy moments. The referees had their hands full in the second period during an incident where four fighting penalties were dished out and two game misconducts were as-
sessed. Trenton totalled 33 minutes in penalty time with nine minors and one major and Newmarket ended with 43 minutes in penalty time with nine minors and one major as well. The G-Hawks gave up zero goals on 13 power plays and goalies Daniel Urbani and Jackson McIntosh gave up one goal each. Newmarket’s Dalton Ewing made 27 saves on 33 shots. Max Routledge and Marty Lawlor each scored for Newmarket and Alex Ierullo, Blake Coffey, Mitchell Duggan and Ryan Young each registered an assist.
McDonald said one of the best moments from the series was getting Adam Clements back on the ice and seeing him improve after being out and injured for the past three months. “Mr. Clements is getting better and we’re getting him out,” McDonald said. “He’s getting stronger and starting to get his timing back which is really important.” A packed G-Hawks fan bus also left Trenton to cheer on the boys during their final match of the series. “They were rocking on, they made a lot of noise which the boys really appreciated,” McDonald said.
The Hawks are now playing local rivals, the Wellington Dukes, in the second round of the playoffs. Game 1 was played Wednesday in Trenton (after press time). The series resumes with Game 2 on Friday, March 18 in Wellington at 7:30 p.m. Game 3 is Monday, March 21 back in Trenton at 7:30 p.m. Game 4 is Wednesday, March 23 in Wellington at 7:30 p.m. The Hawks were confident heading into the series. “We’re climbing the mountain,” said McDonald. “It takes 16 wins to get to the top and we have four.”

Shrimp from Campbellford? First Ontario Shrimp an Ontario first By Sue Dickens Campbellford – The owners of First Ontario Shrimp soon realized after deciding to explore aquafarming that raising shrimp is very different from raising pigs but the success of their new venture is a testament to the family’s pioneer spirit. Farming a 20-gram shrimp is definitely not the same as raising a 300 pound pig, but for Paul Cocchio, his wife Tracy, and his son Brad, it’s the differences that are making their new business choice an example of how thinking outside the box can be a recipe for success in the changing world of agriculture. “There is very little literature on any of this. It’s been a learning curve for sure,” said Brad after providing a somewhat limited tour of the facility on the family’s 400-acre farm.
Viewing of the 200 x 40 foot converted barn from a doorway was necessary because of concerns of contamination of the facility that has strict “biosecure measures in effect,” noted Brad. “It doesn’t take much to wipe them out,” he said as he talked about the planning and research that had to be done before First Ontario Shrimp could sell its product to consumers. “We had five years of red tape before we could even begin to build the facility for the shrimp,” he lamented. One of the steps involved getting Pacific White Shrimp added to an aquaculture species list by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. “After the approvals we renovated one of our three pig barns. We had to pour the cement tanks, line them with a pond liner and put in air pumps and heaters and of course (sea) salt in the Please see page B2
There are many ways to cook/prepare Pacific White shrimp but barbecuing is one method that is very popular. Photo submitted The interior of the 200 x 40 foot converted pig barn is home to Pacific White shrimp which are being raised for consumption by Brad Cocchio (pictured) and his father Paul.

water,” Brad explained. That took two years to complete. “It was quite a change going from raising an animal that you could see what it looked like to raising shrimp underwater where you can’t see anything and you don’t even know if it’s eaten its food,” he added with a grin. “We’re growing a bacteria in the water called biofloc (a protein rich aggregate of organic material and micro-organisms including bacteria, protozoa and algae) and this biofloc consumes excess feed, shrimp waste and the shrimp shells which accumulate when they moult and grow into a bigger shell,” he added. For the Cocchios, shrimp farming was something of a mystery, but they have learned what works and what doesn’t. Since
they set up the aquaculture venture last year, they have implemented several improvements. The family of farmers is very proud of the fact that there is no negative environmental impact, which makes the process sustainable and eco-friendly. The shrimp are 12 days old when they arrive from a hatchery in Florida and three or four months later the 15 to 20 gram crustaceans are ready to be shipped to market. John Bil, owner of a relatively new seafood shop and lunch counter in Toronto, called Honest Weight, is their biggest customer. “We ship about 100 pounds a week to Toronto,” said Brad. “We also get local people contacting us with orders for the shrimp.” The “sweet tasting” shrimp sells for $18 per

The Hastings/Quinte Social Services committee approved a 2016 budget Wednesday, March 9 that will bring modest savings to municipal taxpayers. The budget has a net cost of $17,266,964, a reduction of 1.37 per cent from last year’s budget. “The net cost is actually going down, it’s equivalent to $240,000 (in savings)” said Hastings County’s finance director Sue Horwood. She presented the budget in a presentation with Social Services Director Steve Gatward. The budget for social services is shared by Hastings County’s 14 member municipalities, plus Belleville and Quinte West. The money these municipalities commit to social services each year goes to several programs to help the most vulnerable, such as Ontario Works, social housing programs, and child care subsidies. Now that the committee has ap-

Extra immunization clinics available to avoid student suspensions Hastings Prince Edward Public Health has been working with local schools to ensure student immunization records are up-todate. Under the Immunization of School Pupils Act, public health is required to maintain up-to-date immunization records for all students. This year, parents of children aged 7 and 17 have until April 15 to get this information updated with public health. “We prefer to not suspend students, which is why we send out two rounds of notices and offer extra immunization clinics. Parents still have plenty of time to get their
children’s immunization records up-to-date,” says Bill Sherlock, Program Manager with HPEPH. “We just sent out the second round of notices this week,” he added. As of February, a total of 2,000 notices were sent to parents of children age 7 and 17 as an initial notice to update their child’s immunization records. As of March, a total of 1,200 students will receive final suspension notices. However, it is important to note that students still have plenty of time to update their immunization records prior to the actual suspension date of
April 15. In the event of an outbreak, public health staff must be able to act quickly and advise those who are not immunized so they can take actions to protect themselves. Without up-to-date immunization records, public health cannot reach unprotected people as quickly. Requiring proof of immunizations also prompts parents to ensure their child’s immunizations are current, which will help protect children from vaccine-preventable diseases. “If your child received a suspension notice,
we are asking parents to check their child’s immunization records,” added Sherlock. “If records are up-to-date, please notify public health. If your child requires additional immunizations, please make arrangements to vaccinate your child, either through your health care provider or at a public health clinic. It is important for parents to notify public health after their child has been immunized.” To find an immunization clinic near you, visit the HPEPH website at www.hpeph.ca or call 613-966-5500, ext.221 or toll-free at 1-800-267-2803, ext. 221.

TRAVEL
Touring Peru’s Spectacular Highlands
A remaining temple wall at the Temple of Wiracocha.
This church is often referred as to “the Andean Sistine Chapel”.
By John M. Smith
After visiting the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, and Cusco, the former capital of the Inca Empire and oldest continuously inhabited city of the Western Hemisphere, my next Peruvian adventure was to head north, through the Highlands, to Lake Titicaca, to explore the fascinating floating reed islands. However, as I headed north on my latest quest, I discovered that the Highlands themselves offered spectacular scenery and a plethora of significant historical sites. Indeed, the journey from Cusco to Puno, along the so-called “Road of the Sun”, turned out to be a very worthwhile adventure trek all on its own. It’s told that, once upon a time, the mythical founders of the vast Inca Empire (Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo), by divine mandate of the Sun God, emerged from the cold waters of Lake Titicaca to search for the most fertile valley, and they found what would later become the Empire’s capital city: Cusco. Therefore, I was following this same ancient route, this magical path, only in reverse, for I was heading north from Cusco to Puno. As I journeyed from Cusco, I soon passed San Sebastian, a picturesque farming town, and Oropesa, where Pan Chuta bread is still made in the ancient way, using the same natural ingredients and the old colonial-style ovens. I then arrived at the small town of Andahuaylillas, where I visited what’s often referred to as “The Andean Sistine Chapel”. It was built in 1580, and it appears as relatively plain and ordinary from its exterior, but with three large sculptured crosses on its grounds. However, once I entered the church, I found that it was filled with a dazzling display of beautiful frescoes and carvings, and its ceiling was decorated in
floral patterns and gold leaf. Quite a contrast! The next place of great interest along this route was at Raqch’i, where I found what remains of a large archaeological complex that included the Temple of Wiracocha, which at one time was said to stand 100 metres long, 26 metres wide, and 14 metres high. Quite a temple! I was still able to see what’s left of several giant columns there, and portions of walls that were built of stone, with a layer of adobe above this. I was also able to see that this site had been much more than just a gigantic Incan temple, for there had been several storehouses, terraces, and living quarters adjacent to it. As I continued along this route, I stopped at the small city of Sicuani for lunch, where I finally tasted some alpaca meat (not bad!), and then rode past herds of cattle, sheep, llamas, and alpaca before rising above the tree line into a much more rugged, barren landscape. I eventually arrived at La Raya, the highest point on this journey, at an altitude of more than 12,000 feet! Breathing is somewhat difficult up here in this mountain pass, and some visitors seemed to be literally gasping. This would not be a great place to go for a brisk hike or a jog before acclimatizing. However, the view of the strikingly desolate, treeless land and the distant snow-capped mountains was truly incredible! Of course, there were also some souvenirs for sale up here at booths that were set up by the locals for the tourists! I next stopped at the town of Pucara, where I visited its museum, to learn about a pre-Incan civilization that once inhabited this area, and I also visited a nearby archaeological site, the remains of one of Peru’s oldest civilizations. While here, I was told that this town was renowned for its “Toritos de Pucara” (little bulls of Pucara), and
I discovered that tourist items were for sale at the very summit of the mountain pass.
I noticed that several of the local houses had decorative, sculpted bulls mounted over their doorways – hopefully bringing happiness, wealth, and fertility there. I also visited the area’s largest city, Juliaca, which has the major airport for the area (and the longest landing strip in Latin America). Like Chicago, it’s nicknamed “The Windy City” (because of its location on the exposed Collao Plateau). However, I didn’t find Juliaca particularly beautiful, for it’s primarily a commercial and industrial centre, and there was lots of garbage littering the city streets. After getting through the bustling city of Juliaca, it’s just a short drive of 43 km. to Puno, on the shore of Lake Titicaca (the highest navigable lake in the world). I found that Puno has less than 4 km. of flat land between its shoreline and its foothills, for the city is surrounded by water and mountains; therefore, the expanding city must build upwards onto the hillsides, with the poor having to live further up, often on very steep slopes, with footpaths and no automobile accessibility. Also, the city’s high elevation leads to colder average temperatures being the norm. However, Puno does attract a lot of tourists, for Lake Titicaca is, like Machu Picchu, a ‘must see’ on any visit to Peru - and I found that this trip from Cusco to Puno, through Peru’s Highlands, was also very worthwhile!

LIFESTYLES
The Good Earth:Canada Blooms-It’s A Party
The annual trip to Canada Blooms, with the 2016 theme of It’s A Party, has been completed. I was privileged to ride down to the show with a group of enthusiastic gardeners for the first day of Canada’s premier garden celebration. Last year, the building was labelled the Direct Energy Centre and this year it is Enercare. Folks, whatever the name of the building, the site is and always will be Exhibition Place with the Princes’ Gates as the welcoming entrance. No matter how many times I’ve been to the grounds, I feel as if I am connected to Canadian history when I pass through the gates. It was a beautiful day, with sunny skies and warm spring temperatures, and traffic was very light, even on Toronto’s largest linear parking spot, the Don Valley Parkway. So, we all arrived in good time and great spirits. The show itself was excellent with everything one could reasonably expect. There were two exhibits that really stood out for me. The first was the Landscape Ontario (LO) exhibit. No less than 13 volunteers from Wentworth Landscapes (Kingston, Belleville, Picton offices) were on hand to help the more than 80 professional members from across the province. As
B8 Section B - Thursday, March 17, 2016
someone actively involved in the education initiatives of LO, it is especially nice to note that six post-secondary institutions had students on the floor working. I believe special mention should be given to Jim Philip, Operations Manager, who oversaw the building of Choose Your Path. The second feature garden was H2O Yeah! by Genoscape Landscaping who’s 2015 garden stopped me in my tracks. This year, theirs was the second garden I purposely sought out. These folks have a special affinity for water and the creativity of their design subtly draws you into their realm. In this exhibit, I saw people just standing there enjoying the natural ambience even though they were inside a big ol’ building in the middle of the city. I can’t think of any better examples as to why folks wouldn’t seek out professional members of Landscape Ontario. On a slightly sadder note, I did miss the presence of Shibui Landscaping and Arthur Skolnik: a gentleman who had a profound influence on our industry. The Flower Show, put on by Canada Blooms’ co-partners The Garden Club of Toronto, was very interesting
and entertaining. I’m confident that most artists would label me “Philistine” because “I don’t know art but I know what I like.” Quite often I am mesmerised by a piece that I just can’t bend my mind around. This year (perhaps due to maturity?) it was a pleasure to see wonderful specimens, e.g. a fully blooming, perfectly proportioned kumquat standard, and the wall art display of framed succulents. This is something that we will definitely try in the Clost household. There were many products available in the marketplace and at various locations, one of which was a vertical wall being displayed at the Jill Jensen booth. Basically, it is a system of plastic panels that stack as high and as wide as you would like with generous planting pockets. It is ideal for apartments and patios. Blooms is “co-located” with the National Home Show (almost 600 exhibitors) and one can easily get lost in the hot tub section alone. The Blooms ticket also gives access to the home show. One of the “fun” parts of the day was discovering the food trucks just beside the celebrity stage. Gentle Reader these aren’t your grampa’s
chip trucks; these things are gourmet kitchens on wheels. They’re definitely worth seeking out when you’re ready for a gnosh. However, the main reason for going, according to my fellow bus-trippers, was to see flowers and trees in bloom. Well, GR, the order form for the exhibitors lists more than 81 different perennials, 23 different shrubs and standards, 10 deciduous trees and 11 evergreens, all in amazing quantities. This is the epitome of nursery skill and it wonders me just how good these people are with their ability to coax Mother Nature into getting out of bed so early in the season. The show runs until Monday, March 20 so there is plenty of time left for a fund and easy day trip. Driving there is simple (for me that means only a few turns) with lots of parking.

The water in the Moira River in Belleville is flowing fast, as snow from the northern region melts. Quinte Conservation is warning people to be careful along waterways. Photo by Stephen Petrick
A water safety statement issued by Quinte Conservation last week will remain in effect until March 21, as the environmental agency continues to warn people about rising rivers, creeks and streams and snow melt. “While we don’t expect any flooding, we want the public to be aware of the safety concerns surrounding spring melt conditions,” says Water Resources Manager Christine McClure. “Over the next week we should experience a typical spring runoff with ponding of water in low lying areas and some nuisance flooding. We expect our river systems can handle the increased flows from the melt at this time.” Quinte Conservation staff will be monitoring conditions closely. The initial Water Safety Statement was issued on March 7. Quinte Conservation reminds residents to be extremely cautious about changing ice conditions. Ice conditions should be considered unsafe. Parents
and guardians are urged to keep children off the ice. Stream banks will be slippery and treacherous. Dams and other water control structures should be avoided at all times due to strong currents. Hypothermia is a real concern for anyone who falls into the water, even in a ditch or small creek. Residents should take care to monitor their sump pumps and ensure they are in good condition during this type of weather because of local ponding water. Quinte Conservation issues a Water Safety Statement such as this one when high river flows, unsafe banks, melting ice or other factors could make waterways dangerous for anglers, boaters, swimmers, children or pets. Quinte Conservation is a community-based environmental protection agency. It serves 18 municipalities in the watersheds of the Moira, Napanee and Salmon rivers and Prince Edward County.

The costs to provide emergency services in the Hastings-Quinte region is going up, owing largely to an increase in service calls over the past year. It’s another reminder that as the baby boom demographic ages, there will be an increased demand on health care services, including ambulance calls. Hastings/Quinte’s Emergency Services Committee approved a 2016 budget at its monthly meeting March 9. It comes with a request for a 4.87 per cent increase in spending. Net costs for emergency services for 2016 are listed at $7,523,674, up from $7,174,205 last year. Now that the committee has approved the budget, it must also be approved by Hastings County council. When that happens, the budget will be passed on and shared by Hastings County’s 14 member municipalities, plus Quinte West and Belleville. The budget was presented by Hastings County Emergency Management Services Director John O’Donnell and Hastings County Director of Finance Sue Horwood at the March 9 committee meeting. Horwood said that the number of ambulance calls received in 2015 was up 5 per cent from last year. The total number of calls in 2015 was 30,342, up from 28,900 in 2014. That factors into the increased budget for
2016. Also, service costs were up slightly, owing to the fact that 2016 is a leap year and there’s one extra day on the calendar. The costs for salaries in the EMS department in 2016 is $10,680,800, up from $10,375,000 in
2015. Both the leap year and a union agreement, which results in a 1.8 per cent pay increase to workers, contributed to that increase. The costs for medical supplies is also up slightly, to $388,000 from $384,000 last year. “If we’re doing more calls, we’re going to use more medical supplies,” Horwood said. Horwood also acknowledged that while this budget calls for an increase, another Hastings County joint committee, social services, approved a reduced budget. County number crunchers factored that in, when deciding to present this increased budget request. Hastings County Chief Administrative Officer Jim Pine also said that county departments collectively work together to ensure that budget requests are fair for partnering municipalities. “There’s no fluff in the budget,” he said.

Student jazz festival
This spring brings another opportunity for talented young jazz students across Eastern Ontario to try their skills out with the pros. The annual TD Jazz Education Program is part of the annual Prince Edward County Jazz Festival in August to promote jazz interest among students who are serious about their jazz music. This year, Blair Yarranton at Centennial Secondary school’s music department, reports some 75 young jazz fans from secondary schools in Whitby, Ottawa, Agincourt and Oshawa will gather on the weekend of April 15-17 at a deluxe Prince Edward resort to study and learn with some of Canada’s top jazz performers. Yarranton speaks for the TD Jazz Education Program. The students will also have an opportunity to show off their new skills in their own concert in The Regent Theatre, Picton. That concert is set for 2 p.m. on Sunday, April 17 when they will share the stage with the Brian Barlow Big Band. Barlow has been creative director of the Prince Edward County Jazz Festival for a number of years and is rated as one of the best drummers in Canada. Before the performance though, the young people will spend hours with Barlow and similar jazz stars as mentors, learning tricks of the trade. They will include Scott Alexander, (bass) Mark Ferguson I(trombone), Mike Francis (guitar) and Robi Botos, (keyboard.) For information on concert tickets, visit: www.pecjazz. org. Students jam prior to the 2015 PEC Jazz Festival with Brian Barlow of the Brian Barlow Big Band. Submitted photo

Farm Stewardship Lunch and Learn On Tuesday, March 22, 2016 from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Thurlow Community Centre there will be a farm stewardship lunch and learn.
This workshop will provide farmers with information about hot topics on the farm including: climate change on the farm, soil retention and nutri-
ent levels, best management practices, and stewardship and technical support programs. Prof. Ralph Martin from the University of Guelph will
A Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan stewardship technician samples soil at a local farm. Submitted photo
discuss how climate change can affect farming operations and adaptive practices farmers can use. Martin grew up on a beef and hog farm in Wallenstein, ON. After 4-H, his formal education includes, a B.A. and a M.Sc. in Biology from Carleton University and a Ph.D. in Plant Science from McGill University. In 2001, he founded the Organic Agriculture Centre of Canada (www.oacc.info) to co-ordinate university research and education pertaining to organic systems, across Canada. In 2011, he was appointed as professor and the Loblaw Chair in Sustainable Food Production at the Ontario Agricultural College, University of Guelph. Plus, there will be presentations on: applying GIS analysis to identify highly erodible areas in fields, which will help with the adoption of Best Management Practices (BMPs) to keep soil on fields and out of local waterways. How soil testing can provide baseline nutrient levels and then help with setting target levels to save money on fertilizer, reduce phosphorus runoff, and optimize crop yields. A demonstration of the free OMAFRA AgriSuite, an online web application that helps determine the best ways to manage nutrients on the farm. The Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan will discuss the importance of
reducing phosphorus levels in local waterways and the Bay of Quinte. The Healthy Soils Program will show farmers how to implement a soil testing program on their farm and the importance of cover crops in phosphorus and erosion control. As well, there will be information on stewardship funding and technical support programs, to help
implement best management practices on the farm. This is a free event. However, participants are asked to register, so there will be accurate numbers for lunch. To register contact: Sarah Midlane-Jones, Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan 613-394-395-15 ext. 214 or smidlanejones@ bqrap.ca

OBITUARY
It is with sadness the family of Norma Hamilton announces her passing on February 23, 2016 at Carling View Manor in Ottawa just 6 months short of her 100th birthday. Norma was born in Smithfield Ontario on August 14, 1916, the second daughter to Corey Snider and Emma Pearce Snider. She lived at their Smithfield family home where she grew up with older sister Lenna and younger brother Ted. Younger sister Corrine died in her infancy during the great flu epidemic. Norma attended Brighton High School, where she graduated as class valedictorian in 1934. Norma worked briefly in Toronto during the early years of WWII; otherwise she lived her entire life and raised her family in the Brighton area until moving to a retirement home in Ottawa in December 2014 to be closer to her two sons Peter and Philip. Over the last few months her physical health had been failing and she slipped away peacefully in the early hours of Feb 23. She was fortunate enough to have maintained her sense of humour and cognitive skills to the very end. Norma was predeceased in 2002 by her husband of 58 years, Frank Hamilton, also by her dear older sister, Lenna Snider Baker in 2015 and her brother, Ted Snider in 2010. Norma was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by her 3 children, Peter of Ottawa (Lise Hamilton-Carriere), Philip of Chelsea, QC (Joanne Earle) and Nancy of Mission, BC (the late Joe Garneau) as well as 6 grandchildren, 1 great grandchild and numerous nieces and nephews spread across the country. Norma was well recognized and loved in the Brighton community and will be missed by all who had the privilege to know her. She worked for many years as secretary/office administrator for Doug Haig Plumbing and simultaneously ran the licensing bureau for the Department of Transport from that office. The members of the Snider family were well known in the Smithfield-Brighton area for their musical talents and her brother Ted’s voice was recognized for many years as the voice of Trenton radio. Sister Lenna was, of course, ‘Brighton’s piano teacher’ for some 75 years. Norma loved to play bridge and was a founding member of the ‘bridge club’, which survived in various forms for nearly 70 years. She was a member of Trinity St. Andrew’s church and was a stalwart of the church choir for decades, along with her sister Lenna who was well known as organist and choir leader. She will be remembered for her cheerful nature, her engaging smile, her quiet grace and dignity by everyone who knew her. A celebration of her life will be held in Brighton at the Trinity St. Andrew’s Church Hall on Sunday May 29 from 1-4 pm. All are welcome.
