Family coping with challenge of having two children with Type 1 diabetes By John Campbell

Brighton -- Life for the Davis family took a dramatic turn three years ago when Jaimen, the oldest child, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes so advanced it requires he keep it under control with an insulin pump. Now there’s been another twist: Jaimen’s sister, Jaida, has also been diagnosed with diabetes. She had been experiencing really bad nose bleeds over an extended period which prompted her parents, Jamie and Carley, to have the problem checked out. Blood work revealed Jaida’s blood sugar level was higher than normal. Carley Davis got the news at work the day before Halloween. “It was so devastating when they called me, I was a mess all day,” she said. That was on a Friday, which made for “a bummer of a weekend” waiting for Monday to arrive so they could take Jaida, 7, to Sick Children’s Hospital in Toronto to be examined. Jaida was immediately placed on insulin, which she injects herself at least five times a day. Having an older brother who has diabetes was “a silver lining” in what
has been a difficult situation, Carley said, because Jaida was already aware what it means to have the disease. “She has accepted everything amazingly.” The two children test their blood every two to four hours, and both are awakened between 2 and 3 a.m. by their parents for further monitoring. On occasion Jaimen’s blood sugar level will sink so low he becomes “non-responsive [and] stares at you,” Carley said. Sometimes it takes her a half-hour to get him to drink some juice, but when that fails, as a last resort she rubs a high glucose paste onto his gums “that will make him come to [so] he can take a drink.” She has had to do that “lots of times” and when it happens in the middle of the night, “it’s so much worse, it’s very scary,” Carley said. The family is having “huge challenges” trying to keep Jaimen’s diabetes in check. The insulin pump helps but “now our doctors are saying his body is resisting the insulin,” she said. “We haven’t been able to control it as good as we want to.” Please see “Family” on page 2

Staying active is “one of the major things to controlling diabetes,” Carley said, and Jaimen, 12, does by playing sports, such as house league hockey. Unlike Type 2 diabetes, which you can manage with proper exercise and nutrition and even “get rid of,” if the cause is obesity, Type 1 diabetes stays with children for “the rest of their life ... they will never grow out of it,” Carley said. But that doesn’t limit their horizons. “They can do anything they want, diabetes will not stop them from doing it,” she said. “They just have to lead a healthier life.” It’s working for Max Domi, a rookie forward with the Arizona Coy-
otes who helped Team Canada win a world junior hockey championship in 2015. He has Type 1 diabetes -- as does Bobby Clarke, who captained the Philadelphia Flyers to two Stanley Cup championships in the 1970s. Jaimen has been able to attend most of his team’s games and practices and he’s missed just a dozen or so days of classes at Smithfield Public School where he’s in Grade 7. The previous year he missed nearly 70 days of school “He does well when he’s feeling good [but] when he’s sick, he’s really sick,” Carley said. The staff at the school are “amazing” in the support they provide her son and daughter. “We’re just so lucky to have this school to help us go through this,” Carley said.
Brighton man pleads in 2015 knife incident Belleville - A Brighton man who pleaded guilty in Belleville court in connection with a knife assault in Brighton in 2015 was given a suspended sentence and a five-year weapons ban.

Council puts mayor on notice over subdivision changes By Joyce Cassin Brighton - Enforcing bylaws should be for everyone, and that includes Brighton Mayor Mark Walas, according to council members Monday night. He has be put on notice that if he allows any further grade changes to his Lakeside Landing subdivision at Lakeshore and Lakehurst, he will be charged. Council passed a motion last August to have the bylaw officer investigate the proposed subdivision complaints to ensure no bylaws were being broken, as neighbours complained that unauthorized fill had been added, as well a ditches dug. Last August, after complaints were received from neighbouring property owners about unauthorized fill being dumped in the Lakeside Landing subdivision, council directed staff to investigate to ensure no bylaws were being broken. The financial director only gave direction to the bylaw officer in December, after four OMB appeals were filed by neighbours. Upon inspection, the bylaw officer found that some residents had sump pump pipes emptying off their properties, some playground equipment was over the property line into the subdivision lands, and others were simply maintaining the property in question. Council has discussed the matter at length and financial director Linda Widdifield said she’s been in contact with those receiving the letters, and no charges have yet been laid. Widdifield says she hopes to resolve the issue by April. Some fines indicated in their letters of non-compliance were upwards of $10,000. Council agreed to send Walas a letter stating he must cease and desist all activity without written permission or the bylaw will be enforced against his business in the future. Coun. John Martinello said that when it involved the head of council, it doesn’t look good. Walas has removed himself from any and all council discussion and deci-
sions associated with the subdivision plan. In other council business: Wastewater results “barely” within limits GSS Engineering consulting, Jeff Graham, says that although Brighton’s wastewater pollution control plant is operating within compliance limits with the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change, it’s doing so by a slim margin. He said if the plant continues with the same numbers come early summer, the numbers will be over the summer limits, so the municipality will have to take action. Graham recommended installing timers on the aerators and continue on with the current course of action. He will be reporting back to council next month on the progress.
It was passed 4-3 with one change to identify a 90-day maximum in pay suspension should one council member be found in violation of the code. Brighton Coun.

Coun.

The pipe will be installed away from the existing pipe to avoid potential breakage issues and a repeat of last year’s water emergencies due to construction. Mayor Mark Walas said the plan is to have a second main come from the water treatment plant and connect to the new line at some point in the future. Tim Hortons not a go just yet Contrary to reports on a local radio station last weekend, Tim Hortons in Brighton has not yet received the rezoning. Mayor Mark Walas said he hopes all the paperwork will be filed and in place by the end of May. “They have come to bring their information forward hoping to have the information come forward in April,” Walas said. “It then has to circulate for the rezoning, then hopefully it would be able to come back for the approval for the rezoning and site plan at the same time, hopefully before the end of May.”

Wains’ world is a wondrous whirl of green By Victor Schukov Well, winter - the Big W, the seasonal version of the unwelcome house guesthas (technically) left the building. I am not a winter person. Every few years you can dress it up, rub a little lipstick on it and say that El Nino will take the edge off, but it’s still winter – the least popular kid at the school dance. Meanwhile, two busy brothers have been planting, pinching, cutting and transplanting within a green and flourishing oasis of greenhouses located just outside Presqu’ile Park. Gary and Paul Wain moved to Brighton from North York 34 years ago. Their family tree - pardon the pun – stems from the business handed down by their grandfather going back to the 1920s. The Wains continue an unbroken chain of growing the business. And their roots go back even further to England where their great-grandfather was an estate grower. “I always had a part time job during high school,” says Gary. “I was building my responsibility in
the growing aspect, while my biology teacher always picked my brain on the practical aspects of indoor farming.” When moseying into his garden centre in the spring, few people realize the degree of activity that goes on there in the off seasons: “Virtually anything that can grow from seed, we start here from early September and go right through fall and winter.” The Wains cultivate close to a thousand types of plants, relying essentially only on one outside element: the sun. The Wains chose Brighton because it was an affordable place to flourish. Gary enjoys small town living: “You see the customers in regular events. People become familiar on a daily level, and are more friendly and helpful because you often see them in town.” Like many who came to Brighton, he says great things about the schools’ programs that give hands-on exposure to kids in various trades. He was also reunited with his mother’s family, who ran a local harness making shop in the horse and buggy era.
He says, “Funny, people visiting from big cities find it hard to grasp that we produce it all here. They ask, ‘Where is your farm?’ Well. You’re in the country now. There is nowhere else to go. Then they have a Eureka moment like, ‘Oh yeah, it’s a greenhouse. This is the farm’. You usually see the product as a display. You don’t see the growing aspect.” His greatest satisfaction is in produc-
ing a plant from seed, creating colour in an ecologically conscientious environment. Everything here is recycled and composted, creating no landfill. His favourite occupation is creating original mixtures of hanging baskets, an art form in itself. He roots each two-inch cutting in mid-February just to be ready for Mother’s Day. Winter’s done, so why not pop in on the Wains (fourth generation grow-
ers), for a hit of summer under glass? It’s nice to smell some greenery this time of year. Wain’s Garden Centre is located on 214 Ontario Street, in Brighton.

Take your pooch for a walk and support Dog Guides By Joyce Cassin Brighton - Service dogs help so many people with issues from autism to anxiety, vision and hearing impaired to seizure issues, and even diabetes. To promote and encourage the valuable service, Harvey Moore is asking for help raising funds for the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides. This year’s Purina Walk for Dog Guides, the third annual, is scheduled for Saturday, May 28 beginning and ending at Memory Junction Railway Museum. The Foundation breed, raise, train, and pair these wonderfully-trained dogs to be Dog Guides in one of our six distinct programs,” Moore said. “The cost of training the dogs, an estimated $30,000, is borne by Lions Foundation of Canada, and the dogs are provided to clients free of charge.” There are Canine Vision Dog Guides for the blind and sight-impaired, Hearing Ear Dog Guides for the deaf and hard of hearing, Service Dog Guides for people with physical and/or medical problems, many of whom are in wheelchairs, Seizure Response Dog Guides for people who have issues such as epilepsy, Autism Assistance Dog Guides for children from three to 18 years of age with autism, and Diabetic Assistance Dog Guides for people with diabetes who have hypoglycemic unawareness, he said.
Be on the look-out for posters and sponsor forms around town for the upcoming three-kilometre walk. Whether you have a dog or not, Moore says all are welcome, just be sure to pick up a sponsor form, get yourself some sponsors, and head to Memory Junction at the foot of Maplewood Ave. Brighton Lion Harvey Moore sets off on last year’s Walk for Dog Guides accompanied by supporters. This year’s event takes place on Saturday, May 28 at Memory Junction Railway Museum. Photo by Joyce Cassin for registration at 8:15 a.m..

East Northumberland – Northumberland OPP responded to an alarm at Dreamcatcher Convenience on County Road 45 around 3:15 a.m. March 20. Officers determined the building in Alderville First Nations had been forcibly entered and cigarettes taken. A white car and a dark-coloured van were observed in the area at the time of the break-in. That same morning, around 7:40 a.m., police were notified a green Plymouth van had been abandoned on County Road 45 near County Road 25 in Percy Ward of Trent Hills. The vehicle, which had been stolen from the Scarborough area the previous night but not yet reported to police, is believed to be van involved in the break-in. Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call the OPP’s Cobourg office at 905372-5421 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477). A male in a red coat who was possibly intoxicated was observed to be knocking over garbage cans along Main Street in Brighton at 10 p.m. Officers were unable to locate the man and no further calls were received. Police received a report of a Honda Accord that had rolled over on Towerline Road in Brighton at 3:45 a.m. March 19. The ensuing investigation resulted in the driver, Trevor Wilson, 18, Cramahe Township, who suffered minor injuries, being charged with having care and control of a motor vehicle while impaired by drugs or alcohol, having care and control of a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content over the legal limit, and being a novice driver with a blood alcohol content over zero. Officers located a white GMC pickup truck on Concession Road 13 in the Percy Ward of Trent Hills around 6:40 a.m. that had apparently been involved in a single motor vehicle collision. The driver, Darren Donald Moore, 28, of Hastings, who was not injured, was charged with having care and control of a motor vehicle while impaired by drugs or alcohol, having care and control of a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content over the legal limit. Police responded to a family dispute in Trent Hills March 18. Officers determined two brothers had been fighting over a girl, with one suffering minor injuries. There were no charges. Medications were stolen in a break-in at a
2nd Line East home in Trent Hills sometime during the day. A 74-year-old Belleville woman was charged with mischief under $5,000 after an altercation over a disabled parking spot at No Frills in Brighton that led to a car being ‘keyed’. A 50-year-old Trent Hills man was given a three-day licence suspension after registering between 50 and 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood at a roadside test. Officers located the Chrysler 300 on County Road 25 in the Morganston area after receiving a complaint of open liquor in the vehicle. A Campbellford resident contacted police March 17 after finding his wallet which he had reported stolen the previous day. He said he had simply forgotten where he had put it. A man was arrested and charged with spousal assault and assaulting a police officer after OPP responded to a report of domestic disturbance at a Brighton home. Police charged a woman with spousal assault and mischief under $5,000 after investigating a domestic dispute in Colborne March 16. A resident in Campbellford requested police check on the well-being of a neighbour. Officers located the senior who had fallen down and was disoriented. She was transported to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. Police were called to a Brighton home when a resident reported seeing people and dogs in the house. Officers determined the resident was experiencing hallucinations and left her in the care of family members. Windows and old monitors were smashed during a break-in at South Cramahe Public School March 15. An investigation was initiated at Warkworth Institution relating to the discovery of a jailmade weapon. A report was received March 14 of graffiti at Smithfield Public School and a nearby truck, as well as a mailbox and speed limit sign on Drewery Street. More reports came in of several street signs on Smith Street also being spray painted. A Brighton resident reported losing $1,000 after clicking a pop up screen on his computer offering stocks for sale. He provided bank account and credit card information and then realized he was frauded.

OPINION
Obama in Havana
A British journalist compared the huge American delegation (800-1,200 people) that is accompanying President Barack Obama on his first visit to Havana to Japanese soldiers stumbling out of the jungle to discover that the war ended a generation ago. And the Rolling Stones, who Gwynne Dyer are staging a free concert for half a million people in the Cuban capital on Friday, explained that Obama was their opening act. The US embassy in Havana has already reopened, but only the US Congress can end the 55-year-old American trade embargo against Cuba. Under Republican control Congress is not going to do that, so this visit is really just a social call. Indeed, it was scheduled to coincide with spring break in US schools so the Obamas could bring their daughters along. Yet no journalist watching all this can resist speculating about whether this opening portends great political changes in Cuba, maybe even the eventual end of the long dictatorship of the Castro brothers and the Cuban Communist Party. Least of all me, as I have been speculating about that in public, at intervals, for most of my adult life. I never went to Cuba during the “heroic” years when the leadership lived in permanent fear of American invasion or subversion, and most Cubans really were ready to fight to defend the revolution. My first visit was in the mid-1980s, when the bloom was already off the revolutionary rose. Most of Latin America was living under brutal US-backed military dictatorships at the time, and the Cuban dictatorship seemed to me almost gentle by comparison. It didn’t even kill people much. But Cubans, unable to travel and aware that the regime’s propaganda usually lied, were in a stroppy mood. If you spoke even a little Spanish, they unloaded their discontent on you. So I went home and predicted that the regime, if not on its last legs, was at least in its last decade. This did not come to pass on schedule, but when I next went to Cuba, in 1994, it certainly looked imminent. The collapse of the old Soviet Union had cut off all the subsidies that had kept the Cuban economy afloat despite the American embargo and its own huge inefficiencies. During the “Special Period in Time of Peace,” which lasted through most of the 1990s, nobody starved, but almost everybody went hungry and the average Cuban lost nine kg (20 lbs) in body

weight. Social order broke down, with crime rampant and desperate young people openly selling their bodies in the streets. I brought my wife’s parents with me on one of these visits, and my mother-in-law was mugged in central Havana twice in a week. On the second occasion my father-in-law was injured while resisting the muggers, and I had to bribe a police inspector US $100 to free him from the police station where he was being held – technically as a witness, but really for ransom – so that I could get him proper medical attention. So I went home and predicted the imminent collapse of the regime again. Communist regimes in Europe whose people were quite wellfed had been falling to non-violent democratic revolutions with scarcely any resistance in the past few years, so it seemed implausible that this ageing, ramshackle dictatorship would last much longer either. Wrong again. But when Fidel Castro retired after 42 years and handed power to his brother Raul in 2008, Western embassies in Havana (minus the United States, of course) arranged for various “experts” from their countries to visit Cuba and explain how things were done in a real democracy – which they fully expected that Cuba would shortly become. I was asked to go along as an alleged expert in media and civil-military affairs, to tell Cuban journalists and military officers how they should operate in a democracy. It was a well-meant but ridiculous initiative, but I went anyway because it gave me unprecedented access at a very interesting time. And I came back convinced once again that a democratic transformation was really imminent, because most of those I was speaking to expected it themselves. Few of them, even in the armed forces, feared for their jobs, and most of them thought that change would be for the better. But fast forward another eight years, and very little has changed. Raul Castro says he will retire in 2018 (when he will be only 86), but a new generation of Communist leaders is already being promoted into key positions. Up to three million American visitors a year are expected now that the US ban on travel to Cuba has been lifted, which will widen the economic gulf between Cubans with access to dollars and those without, but it is unlikely to trigger a revolution. The surge of incoming money will magnify corruption at every level of the regime, but that won’t cause its overthrow either. In fact, I now think that the regime will probably survive until and unless the US Congress finally ends the embargo and exposes Cuba to the full force of international capitalism. Of course, I have been wrong in the past.

Didn’t like the hitchhiker sting? Get over it Editorial - Chris Malette So, there was this undercover sting, last week, in which a handful of Belleville motorists got caught on their cell phones. Ka-ching! That’ll be five hundred clams, dufus, you’re talking or texting and driving in the midst of one of the biggest and most aggressive public safety blitzes since Mothers Against Drunk Driving started their thing. Call it the ‘copper on the corner caper,’ if you will, but it’s taken on a life of its own on social media – garnering dozens of comments on Facebook, Twitter and elsewhere. It all started when Belleville police cooked up a pretty elaborate ruse – although quite simple in its execution – to stem the rampant use of cell phones by motorists. Ask any cop, firefighter or EMT who’s had to extricate a victim from a head-on wreck or stand by as a corpse or two are pried from the crash why this is important and they’ll be pretty blunt with you. Distracted driving is now determined to be worse than drunk driving in causing serious motor vehicle accidents in this province and it seems even a $490 fine (plus $500 with the ubiquitous court fees) can’t convince people to put the damn things down when driving. In any event, the dragnet involved a scruffy looking cop pulling over motorists who were using handheld devices while stopped at the intersection of North Front and Bell Boulevard. The day after the initiative, a Facebook post by Belleville resident Tommy James critical of the tactic went viral. In an open Facebook post, James said his 74-year-old father was ticketed unfairly. “Seventy-four-year-old man who doesn’t want to be confronted by this big fella decides to look busy, so he grabs his cell phone to pretend he’s talking on it. The hitchhiker pulls out a badge and tells him to pull over.” James went on to suggest such a tactic breaches public trust. The post has been shared some 1,500 times and numerous people have commented, some of whom are well known in the community and several were critical of the move. But, Belleville Police Const. Brad Stitt, a veteran traffic cop who investigates collisions, made no apologies for the tactic when interviewed by the Belleville News on Friday.
Distribution Inquiries 613-966-2034 ext 512 Sales Manager Melissa Hudgin 613-966-2034, ext 504 ADVERTISING SALES Jean Convey, 613-966-2034, ext 527 Tim Sheppard, 613-966-2034, ext 528 Louise Clutterbuck, 613-966-2034, ext 503 Laura Ajayi, 613-966-2034 ext 518
He said he was actually glad people were discussing the topic online. “Anytime we can get people talking about an event, it’s a positive thing,” he said. “This has made a number of people start talking about distracted driving.” He said Belleville police did not invent this tactic, as the hitchhiker ploy has been used by police in other areas. Stitt said drivers really have no reason to worry about being caught up in a similar sting, because there’s “a 100 per cent full-proof way to ensure you’re not caught.” Bingo. For anyone who thinks the scruffy hitchhiker ruse is too greasy or underhanded, how would you like it to be – as Metro cops have done in Toronto – ersatz public works employees in orange vests leaning on shovels, radioing ahead to uniformed cops when they spot an offender? Or, how are you on laser radar, that OPP like to boast can nail your speeding car on Highway 401 from five km away – long before you can spot the black and white in the distance? Narcs? I suppose you think undercover cops infiltrating drug rings or biker gangs is unfair to the poor mutts wearing the colours or cooking in meth labs. We posted the story on Facebook and asked our readers what they thought. Here’s a cross section: “No problem at all. It is not entrapment. Have seen that same sign on the corner of Bell Blvd and Sidney over the Christmas season. I wonder if it was the same program?” “Yes it is absolutely fair. I see it going on every day and these are the people that increase our insurance when they plow into someone …” “The law is the law regardless.” But, some thought it went too far. “A police officer posing as something he/she is not and then giving a ticket is definitely entrapment. They(‘re) posing as something they are not - a hitchhiker. Entrapment pure and simple. We don’t agree with this tactic at all - whether it provides media attention or not.” And this from our Twitter account, @InBelleville: “No!!! Because if that guy approaches my vehicle I am calling cops on my cell!!!”

Building a digital strategy the topic of chamber’s free workshop sessions By Sue Dickens
LUXURY CONDOS & RENTALS WITH SERVICES TO SUIT YOUR LIFESTYLE!
Move in 2016! Opening in JuLY.
Campbellford – Google social media marketing on the Internet and you get 479,000,000 results; digital marketing, 102,000 results; ecommerce marketing, 122,000 results. Cashing in on the Internet through social media can require some skill negotiating the various tools such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and Google. To help with this, the Trent Hills and District Chamber of Commerce is hosting two spring workshops. The first session would be of interest to businesses and organizations that have been using social media on a regular basis. The second is for businesses and organizations that are interested in getting started on Facebook. “Social media is about conversation and about making a connection with your customer, your visitor, or your participant in your organization,” said Nancy Allanson, executive director. “When we first started with social media as a chamber we said let’s try this but when we developed a strategy and goals, that is when it went well,” she explained and so the chamber is bringing back an expert in this field, Sofie Andreou from Peterborough. “Sofie has become a social media guru. She is a very dynamic speaker and knows what she is talking about. We’ve had her back a couple of times and now we’re having her help take businesses to the next level.” “I do workshops for hundreds of businesses and business owners every month,” commented the owner of Sofie Andreou & Associates who has created “Coffee Break Learning,”
an online video tutorial system that provides 15-minute episodes, “that will help you understand and really kick butt with digital marketing. “I always stress people need to have a strategy before they even start Facebook or Instagram. They need to do their strategy on an annual basis too because things change so quickly,” she explained. During the workshop she involves participants in a nine-step process and talks about repurposing their marketing material. “If an existing business has been around for years and is used to print advertising or radio and TV, they need to repurpose their material for social media and digital marketing. People need to understand how to leverage both traditional and digital and how to link the two,” said Andreou. The spring workshops will be held after the chamber’s special general meeting on Thurs., March 31 which begins at 5 p.m. Workshop sessions will run concurrently. The first, called “Building your own Digital Strategy” (with Andreou) is from 6 – 8 p.m. and the second called “Getting Started on Facebook” is from 6 - 7 p.m. The sessions are free thanks to sponsorship by the Northumberland Business Advisory Centre, Eastlink and the Municipality of Trent Hills. Those interested can RSVP to tourism@trenthillschamber.ca or call 705-653-1551.

Health unit to close its office in Brighton end of June
By John Campbell
Brighton – It’s final, the local health unit is closing its office in Brighton, effective June 30. The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit announced its decision March 17 after the board met and approved a recommendation by staff that the office be closed to save money in response to a funding freeze by the province. The move will save the health unit approximately $115,000 a year. “Closing an office is never an easy decision, but given the financial challenges the Health Unit is facing now, and in the coming years, we need to make some tough decisions,” board of health chair Mark Lovshin, mayor of Hamilton Township, said in a news release. The health unit made clear it will con-
tinue to provide programs and services in Brighton by making use of free space that will be provided by community partners such as the public school board. A drop off location for water bottles and tick samples will also be set up for Brighton residents. HKPR learned last fall that it and most of the province’s health units would be getting no funding increase for 2015 and the immediate future. It receives roughly 75 per cent of its funding from the provincial government; the other 25 per cent is covered by Northumberland County, Haliburton County, and the City of Kawartha Lakes. Last month HKPR raised its assessment for the three funding municipalities by 2.5 per cent in its 2016 budget, which included a request for a 2.5 per cent increase in funding from the province as well. “We know the province implemented a zero per cent funding increase for 2015 and the foreseeable future, but we asked for the increase in funding to make a point that operating costs continue to escalate and we would need that level of funding from the province to support our operations,” Lovshin said in the release. In addition to making plans to close its office in Brighton’s municipal building, the health unit adopted other measures to trim spending, such as conducting staff meetings by Skype to reduce travel
expenses, and reducing cellphone and printing costs. Combined the steps will result in savings of $200,000, HKPR director of corporate services Mary Catherine Masciangelo said in an interview. The seven staff who work in Brighton will remain employed, but work of the office in Port Hope. However, the health unit will make use of “hub spaces” Northumberland County has available in Brighton which staff can use for a few hours at a time without having to travel to Port Hope to do all their work. HKPR will have to go through the same cost-cutting exercise next year and it will only get “harder as we need to look deeper in our operations and in our organization to identify ongoing sustainable savings,” Masciangelo said Should the province come through with additional funding as requested, “it may provide some room to not have to enact” plans for more budget cuts, she said. But if it doesn’t, “I wouldn’t want to predict any future assessment [increases] to municipalities, but certainly the municipalities are obligated to fund” the health unit. Masciangelo reiterated HKPR is “committed to the delivery of programs and services” in the Brighton area” and that an information session will be held soon to respond to any questions the community has about what the health The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit announced its decision March 17 unit is planning to do. to close the Brighton office of the local health unit, effective the end of June.

The spirit of giving lives on for this family to the less fortunate.

serts as my giving up something,” the Grade 12 East Northumberland Secondary School student said. “And to donate my giving account to the Brighton Food Bank as my giving away something be-
cause we just moved to Brighton and it is our new home, so I want to help take care of my new community.” Each month, Johnny gets an allowance for doing various chores around the
house, and he tucks a portion of it away into his “Angel” account before deciding on what he wants to do with it. Last week, he made a presentation to Pat Arkin at the food bank, giving her $120 in cash. Arkin said the food bank relies heavily upon donations of food and money such as this, in order to fill the needs of the community. The food bank provides food and other personal hygiene items to people in need and is open the first, second, fourth, and fifth Mondays of the month from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., and the third Monday from 5:30 to 8 p.m.. Donations may be dropped of on Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.. The food bank is located at 39A Elizabeth St., at the corner of Dufferin Street across from Brighton Public School.

Trenton’s rising star Drew Haytaoglu scores YTV movie role at 7:30 p.m. on YTV. Drew plays Chris Talbot, a student at Macdonald Hall boys’ school. The movie follows the shenanigans of Bruno Walton and Melvin “Boots” O’Neil, infamous troublemakers at Macdonald Hall, and is based on the
much-loved and very popular Macdonald Hall book series by best-sellTrenton – Trenton’s Drew Haytaoglu ing young adult author Gordon Korlanded a role in the YTV movie Bruno man. & Boots: Go Jump in the Pool, a TV The 15-year-old East Northumbermovie that is sure to make you laugh land Secondary School student said when it premieres on Friday, April 1, his father had read the Gordon Korman books and he was really excited about the role when he read the script. “It was such a funny script,” Haytaoglu said. “It’s full of comedy, full of pranks and action, it’s going to be a really fun movie to watch.” Filming the movie at McMaster University in Hamilton over two weeks in the summer was a fantastic experience for Haytaoglu. Trenton’s Drew Haytaoglu plays Chris Talbot, a student at Macdonald Hall, in the TV movie Bruno & Boots: Go Jump in the Pool, “It was probably one of the best premiering on April 1, at 7:30 p.m. on YTV.

experiences I’ve ever had,” he said. “It was so much fun. We had a food fight in one of the scenes… it was basically just summer shenanigans for a job.” Bruno & Boots: Go Jump in the Pool isn’t Haytaoglu’s acting debut. He has been in a number of commercials, landed a couple TV series roles and also played Gilbert Blythe in the 2016 Anne of Green Gables TV movie. He said he found his passion for acting when he was in Grade 4 at Murray Centennial Public School. “I was in The Wizard of Oz and I was the Tin Man, and since then I just thought it was one of the coolest things ever,” he said. Haytaoglu is in the audition process for other roles at this time and said acting is definitely something he wants to pursue as a career. “I don’t know how I’m going to juggle Grades 11 and 12 though, if it’s too much I might have to take a break and I obviously need a backup plan if this doesn’t work out, but I’m hoping to definitely get far in acting.” He also has some advise for other people who have a passion for acting. “Go ahead and pursue it, it’s so
much fun to do,” he said. “Take a couple courses before just to get the hang of it, take your time with it, don’t take rejection personally and just have fun with it. Haytaoglu’s mother Maura-Jo Haytaoglu said she’s seen her son evolve and become much more self-confident while pursuing his dream. “His whole demeanour has completely changed, he just feels more comfortable with who he is, he loves doing what he does, this is really about him,” she said. She said the entire family does a lot of juggling in order to make Haytaoglu’s dreams come true and she said she feels very fortunate they are able to help him pursue his passion. Tune into YTV on April 1, at 7:30 p.m. to catch Drew Haytaoglu as Chris Talbot in Bruno & Boots: Go Jump in the Pool.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
A conservative observation on Liberal leaders
Dear Editor
On Monday March 14, 2016 Ayanle Hassan Ali, a Muslim, walked into the Canadian Forces Recruitment Centre in North York and stabbed two military officers. The attacker stated “Allah told me to do this. Allah told me to come here and kill people.” It’s reported the attack would have been far more serious if a group of six to eight trained soldiers had not taken the attacker down. Multiple charges have been laid against Hassan Ali and an investigation is ongoing by RCMP and CSIS. What I find disturbing about this attack is the lack of response and concern by our leaders. Both federally and provincially. Twenty four hours after a knife attack and stabbing of our soldiers at a military office in the largest city in Canada, the Prime Minister and the Defence Minister tweeted saying “Canadians and the Military would not be intimidated.” No public response, condemnation, or quick visit. Officially this attack has been played down by our P.M. creating a double standard. Arson at a Peterborough mosque in late 2015 brought outrage and a highly publicized visit from the new prime minister to the mosque. The premier of the Province has yet to make a comment on this horrendous attack or to offer condolences to the soldiers, at least publicly.
When the Peterborough mosque was torched in 2015 Wynne expressed sadness for the violence. She was also very quick to the CBC microphones to offer support to Muslims plus she traveled to an Ottawa Mosque to offer support. She appears to have become press shy re Monday’s attack on the soldiers whom she would look to for protection if needed. Where is her sadness for the injured military personnel? Recently, the prime minister and premier arrived at the Toronto Zoo to huge fanfare for the Panda’s debut. Great photo ops plastered on the front pages of all main stream media. Yet our leaders appear to be too busy when it comes to supporting stabbed military personnel in what could prove to be a terrorist attack. One wonders what is going on in Canada, when our leaders value animals and specific groups more than others? Our prime minister needs to step up and speak out. It’s the right thing to do Justin. It’s 2016. I don’t condone violence. I like fairness. Our leaders tell us repeatedly that Canada is a country of equality and fairness. Let’s make sure that’s for all citizens. Those who have spent generations here as well as newcomers.
Limit on no-charge leaf and yard waste to increase five-fold
By John Campbell
Northumberland County -Residents will soon be able to dispose five times more of their leaf and yard waste for free at Northumberland County’s three waste management facilities. County council voted March 16 to remove the tipping fee at its landfill and two waste transfer stations for loads up to 500 kilograms, beginning April 1. The current limit is 100 kilograms. The charge per load above the limit remains at $40 per tonne. The change will result in a loss of approximately $20,000 a year in revenue for the County. Northumberland implemented a free seasonal County-wide curbside collection program for leaf and yard waste in 2015 as recommended in its long-term waste management master plan. It “makes sense from both an economic and environmental perspective,” director of transpor-
tation, waste and facilities department Mo Pannu wrote in a report to council. Using a fleet of collection vehicles to collect leaf and yard waste “significantly reduces the amount of fuel consumed and greenhouse gases emitted,” compared to residents transporting the material to waste management facilities. However, some residents continue to deliver their leaf and yard waste to the sites because they don‘t know about the new curbside collection service, they don‘t have to buy paper bags to hold the waste, or they save time “in not having to bag leaves or cut brush up and tie into bundles,” Pannu said. Some who prefer to take the waste directly to the sites complained they have to pay to dispose of material that‘s collected for free at curbside, so in “the interest of fairness to all residents,” staff recommended the amount accepted at no charge be raised
from 100 to 500 kilograms per load, he said. A limit for excess amounts was kept to help cover “the cost the County incurs to manage large loads of materials brought in by commercial patrons,” such as property maintenance and tree removal contractors. The waste is ground up and turned into compost, most of which is used as ground cover/ soil at the landfill in Brighton “to support the growth of grass on inactive and closed sections,” Pannu said. Last year, 97 per cent of all loads of leaf and yard waste dropped off from Jan. 1 to Nov. 30 weighed less than 500 kilograms; 322 of the 12,785 loads exceeded 500 kilograms. “We are hoping that there will be other benefits coming so residents will not have to drive their own materials,” and incur costs, Pannu said at the end of the meeting.

and powerhouse Chatham singer Brooklyn Roebuck. David Byrski walked away with one of three wild card selections and will also move on. Roebuck’s victory was “what a big strong performance is all about,” the judges said following her 30-minute-long set. “That’s exactly what we’re looking for,” the judges added. The judges for round two included Aaron Pritchett’s tour manager Kim Stoneburg, Chad Kalbfleisch, Bruce Sutton and Jan Schoute. Five performers faced off during round two and six launched this year’s edition on March 5 with the Jesse Slack Band coming out on top. The Jesse Slack Band “hit all the judging benchmarks with a set that was engaging and entertaining,” one that “showcased their skills as musicians, songwriters and performers.” Along with a gig at the 27th annual Havelock Country Jamboree, prizes include mentoring time with recording representatives, pro-
fessional photography packages, a one-day studio session worth $5,000 to record an original song of their choice with a producer and engineer at Metalwork’s Recording Studio, a Tanglewood guitar from The Guitar Boutique, a digital recording of the performer’s audition. Judges in the final rounds include representatives from MDI (owned by EMI) Fontana North (Maple Music) and Sony along with Bob Spencer of Metalworks Production Company. Last year Canadian music legend Bruce Good was part of the final judge’s panel. Last year Instant Rivalry from Prince Edward County took top spot and has been riding the crest of success ever since. Only 30 openings were available to this year’s search so the range of talent on The Ranch Resort stage will be impressive. Admission to the weekly showdowns is $10; a dinner and show package is available for $30. For more information call 705277-1942 or visit www.thenextcountrymusicstar.com.
The Peterborough-based Jesse Slack Band won round one of The Next Country Music Star Talent Search and will move on to the April 23 semi-final round at The Ranch Resort in Bethany. The winner will get a showcase gig at the 27th annual Havelock Country Jamboree.

Eighteen-year-old Brooklyn Roebuck of Chatham wowed the judges during round two of The Next Country Music Star Talent Search at The Ranch Resort in Bethany. She will move on to the April 23 semi-final with the hope of winning a coveted spot on stage at the 27th Havelock Country Music Jamboree.
By John Campbell Brighton – Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi said the new funding formula developed for health units, which has resulted in the Brighton office being marked for closure, came about as a result of “an enormous amount of growth” in some parts of the province which increased their need for more money. In other areas “population was stagnant, so the growth component [was] a big factor” in deciding how the funding was to be distributed. Although that meant the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit would “qualify for less money” under the new formula, “we made sure that the funding that they got the previous year [would remain] intact, so there was no reduction, it was frozen for the time being,” he said. “I understand the challenge that creates, but on the other hand if it can save over a $100,000 by just renting space that they’re not really using in Brighton, [and] using that money to deliver services I can’t argue with that too much.” Rinaldi explained he had been told by medical officer of health Dr. Lynn Noseworthy that the health unit was “using very limited space” in the office it rented from the Municipality of Brighton and “she assured me that services were not going to be impacted at all” by closing it. The MPP added the new funding formula “will be under constant review” and he left open the possibility that extra funding could be found in future should circumstances change. There is “a process .. to address the pressure” a community might find itself under but he didn’t want to “speculate” what might happen next year. In a news release issued by the health unit, Brighton Mayor Mark Walas said he understood why the board of health decided to close the office and he was pleased HKPR intended to maintain public health programs and services in East Northumberland. “I have always appreciated the working relationship the Municipality of Brighton has had with the Health Unit,” he stated, “and we will ensure that the Municipality works with the Health Unit to support programming as staff transition out of the Municipal Office in Brighton.”
Colborne -- The emergency response centre to be built in the village’s Industrial Park will cost slightly less than the $3.6 million Cramahe Township and Northumberland County had estimated would be the cost when they agreed to take on the joint project. Eight proposals were received and six short-listed for further evaluation before council approved last week a staff recommendation that Taskforce Engineering Inc. in Belleville be awarded the contract for $2,814,800. Other costs, including shared equipment, design and site work, property and legal expenses and a contingency fund of $318,505, raise the total cost to $3,493,745. The township and county decided a shared facility made the most sense to replace the Colborne ambulance station and the fire hall which are no longer adequate to meet existing and future needs. The ambulance station used to be staffed only on days until 2014 when it was turned into a full-time operation to handle increasing call volumes in its catchment area. Now the third busiest station behind only Cobourg
and Port Hope, it has “outgrown the current crew quarters and space provided for medical supplies as a result of the additional shift,” says a report prepared by county staff. They noted there isn’t enough room to keep the two ambulances indoors which is necessary for temperature sensitive medications and equipment required for emergency medical responses that can’t be removed to storage because it “significantly delays the ability of Paramedics to respond” quickly to calls. The station is also located on a flood plain next to a high volume railroad corridor, both of which present risks. If a floor or a railway incident were to occur, “there is a high potential that the ability to respond to other emergencies from the Colborne base would be difficult or impossible.” Cramahe will bear the lion’s share of the cost of the new building, about 63 per cent, or $2,188,085, based on the amount of square footage its fire department will occupy. The estimated surplus, $100,710, will be divided along the same lines. The facility is to be built on land owned by the township.

Our ability to eat and chew different types of food is dependent on a whole system of events that breaks down food into pieces that we can swallow. It involves much more than just our teeth. One of the most important aspects of our chewing system is our jaw joint, more specifically the temporomandibular joint. For simplicity sake, let’s refer to this joint as the TM joint. When people experience problems with their TM joint, the condition is known as temporomandibular dysfunction or TMD. Here are some of the signs and symptoms of TMD: 1. Clicking sounds from joint during opening and closing

Teeth
5. Limited opening of the mouth 6. Headaches 7. Pain in the shoulder and back To determine whether you have TMD and what types of treatment would be appropriate for you, it is important that you see your dentist for a thorough examination of your jaw joint. Your dentist can also take various radiographs (x-rays) and examine your occlusion or bite, in order to help determine the cause of your TMD. Once a diagnosis of TMD has been established, treatment can begin. Here are some treatment options for patients with TMD: 1. Oral appliance therapy (oral orthotics) 2. Bite adjustment or alteration 3. Medications 4. Surgery Because TMD can be such a debilitating condition that affects so many aspects of daily life especially eating and sleeping, it is important that you visit your dentist to determine if you have TMD and to find out what treatment options are appropriate for you.

Ducks kept their distance, but not people for the Waterfowl Weekend By John Campbell Brighton – People were out in full force, but the birds they came to see kept a lower profile for the 40th annual Waterfowl Weekend at Presqu’ile Provincial Park. “People-wise, we did pretty well,” said David Bree, the park’s senior natural heritage education leader, who estimated about two-day event sponsored by the Friends of Presqu’ile attracted 1,500 visitors. “Duck-wise

it wasn’t the best. There were ducks around but there was no ice on the bay. They were a long, long, long way away.” The weather was nice, although “a little bit cool but sunshine always draws people out,” and that’s what happened, especially on Saturday, Bree said. The overall attendance figures were better than the past two years when Park head naturalist Allyson Parker helped members of the public spot freezing cold kept the numbers down birds in the water with the use of a scope at one of the lookouts.

A couple wrongheaded moves by Queen’s Park Dear Editor I am writing especially to complain about the new Provincial tax added to sales of gas, which includes propane. Supposedly the intention is to encourage conservation and reduce greenhouse gases. But some of us have no other option than propane for heating. For example I am out on Presqu’ile Point, and many “north of the 401” rural folk are in the same boat. What are we supposed to do? I have been consciously environmental by having a gas range in the kitchen and by shifting to a gas clothes dryer from an electric one. And now you do
this to us! This is a stupid way to encourage conservation. Okay, propane for BBQing is optional, a frill if you like, but it would be easy to exempt home-delivered heating propane from the tax increase. Why wasn’t that done? The closure of the Brighton Health Unit office is also objectionable and a poor way of accomplishing the stated goal – another step in the wrong direction. It is the young and poor who will pay for that, and it’s one less service in Brighton. And finally, selling off part of Hydro-One is stupid. It’s a onetime cash grab which the government will use for other purposes, no doubt worthwhile
ones, some of them. But it’s basically robbing Peter to pay Paul, and it will reduce the money the province has been getting from the public hydro system. Any objective review of the benefits and costs of privatization of a monopoly (done by someone other than a “privatization banker/economist”) will show that it’s a bad move. This government has done some good things, but that doesn’t and won’t include these. Roger H. Green Brighton

Northumberland County – Northumberland OPP received more than 75 complaints from residents across the county March 16 about fraudulent Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) calls. That’s more than half of the 145 fraud-related calls the police force handled in all of 2015. The majority of the calls began with an individual identifying himself as a police officer. The OPP reminded the public the CRA does not collect outstanding taxes by using threats of imminent arrest or demanding payments be made through courier services or money/wire transfers. If you receive a call similar to this or a message is left on your answering machine, do not become the next victim: Verify any demands for payments using a phone number you know to be valid. If you have received a call such as this, report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 or online at www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/ index-eng.htm.

Warkworth – In a battle for the B championship of the Leo League, the Peewee Campbellford Colts have taken the championship beating the Peewee Percy Bulldogs. After the first two games, Cambellford led the series with three points (one win and one tie) to Percy’s one point (one tie). Game three was held in Warkworth. Percy was in a must-win situation to keep the series going and they didn’t disappoint. After three periods with just minutes left Percy pulled it out with a 4-3 win to tie the series at three points each. Game four of the series took place in Campbellford the next night. Once again, the Bulldogs opened the scoring in the middle of the first period. Logan Granger started the breakout from Percy’s end and hit Lindt leaving the zone, Lindt saw Whalen open in the neutral zone and Whalen put the Bulldogs on the clock. Kelly put Percy up 2-0 early in the second on two beauty set up passes from Olivia Newman and Trotter. The Colts came alive and with three minutes left in
the second, they put two behind Aiden Robson of the Bulldogs. Jon Gratton put in the first goal, assisted by Matthew Haggerman and Conner Aggett. Aidan West scored the second with help from Alex Wrightly and Watters. McKenzie almost sealed the series for the Bulldogs at the buzzer of the third period, but his shot went just wide of the net. The game and series would be decided in overtime. Just after one minute into the OT period McKenzie again almost ended things, with a shot off the post of Campbellford’s net. Just after three minutes of play in the OT period with a scramble in front of Percy’s net, Cam Peters scored for Campbellford on rebounds from West and Malaki Vangils. Both teams showed excellent sportsmanship, and all coaches and fans commented on what an exciting series it was. The scores were very low and very close for both teams with excellent goaltending from Ace Robson and Victoria Brunton.

Braves show spirit in battling the Jets to the end in OMHA atom CC final By John Campbell Brighton – The Brighton Braves showed a lot of pluck in battling to stay alive in their best-offive series against the Ilderton Jets in the OMHA atom CC final but it wasn’t enough as the team, down two games, fell short in a 6-5 loss Saturday. The Braves displayed remarkable resiliency after being held scoreless at home the previous weekend in two straight defeats. “It was an awesome, entertaining game for all the fans and we were very proud, the coaches, to see them battle that way,” coach Craig Cocek said. “We unfortunately didn’t win but we really pushed.” Cocek said the Braves changed their style in response to what happened the first two games and they “practised really hard” during the week, working on “a few basic things” and a counter-attack, which proved successful.
The two teams were tied at 3-3 when the hometown Jets struck for three goals to take a commanding lead in the third period. But the Braves scored twice in the final nine minutes and with about a minute left pulled goalie Tristan Hough for an extra attacker. The team was “extremely close to tying it up,” applying a lot of pressure, but “we just couldn’t find the net,” Cocek said. “You could have asked for a better ending with a victory and a game four,” but, failing that, “it was a great way to end the series.” Justin Murdoch notched three goals for Brighton. Jack Moran and Layne Cocek had one apiece. “The kids were upset obviously,” coach Cocek said, but they got over their disappointment by spending the night at a London hotel, going for a swim and having “a great time together. It was just an awesome way to end the season.” “It’s all over now, we’ll take a break and do it again next season,” he said.
Frankford’s Bassett scores winner for Peewee AAA Petes’ East Ontario crown
By Nancy Sharpe – Peterborough This Week
The Peterborough Minor Peewee AAA Petes, on a winning goal by Frankford’s Nate Bassett, defeated the Markham Waxers 3-2 in Markham to win the Eastern Ontario Triple A Championships in Markham Sunday. Markham’s Michael Buchinger scored the first goal giving Markham a 1-0 advantage in the first period. Pete’s right winger Cole Lester took a slap shot to even the score assisted by centre Cole Pottle at 10.02 in the second period. Ryan Bell, left winger for the Petes scored at 2:14 in the second period assisted by defenseman Will Corcoran to take the lead. Deandres Dejesus from the Markham Waxers score early in the third period to tie up the game. With eight minutes left in the game, Petes’ left winger Bassett scored assisted by defenceman Liam Kenny to again take the lead. Petes were able to fend off the Waxers to take the 3-2 lead to the final buzzer. Bassett had earlier in the season been cut by the Frankford area peewee rep side, but decided to travel to Peterborough to take a shot at catching on with the Petes. His perseverance paid off, as
his local squad failed to advance in the playoffs, while Bassett can now claim a AAA gold medal. Chase DeNoble played a strong game in net, said his coach. “I am proud of the boys for their effort and determination,” said Dave Stewart, Petes’ head coach. “What a fantastic way to end the season. The team has continued to improve throughout the year and through hard work and dedication, they have finished off the season as the Eastern Ontario Minor Peewee AAA Champions.”

It was ‘One For James’ on the ice By Bill Freeman Norwood – It was “One For James” on the ice at the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre on Saturday. Players on 10 teams and hundreds more friends, fans and supporters filled the arena for the first annual James Bidgood Memorial Tourney for Camp Kerry Ontario, a Peterborough-based organization that provides family bereavement retreats. Prize donations and silent auction items filled the arena’s standing room concourse and helped raise over $10,000. “It was a truly special day and one that will not be forgotten much like James’s legacy in this small town won’t be,” said friend Tyler Leeper who was one of the tournament’s chief organizers along with his wife Dayna and Norwood Hornet grads Seamus McDougall and Steven Walsh. He also thanked the municipality and community centre staff for their assistance. “It’s awesome to see the town get behind it,” Leeper said. James, 35, was killed in a snowmobile accident north of Cobourg on Feb. 19, 2015. In the wake of the tragedy long-time friend Jason Alexander launched a spontaneous “One For James” pay it forward campaign that spread like wildfire at coffee shops across Canada, the United States and other parts of the world with people buying beverages for complete strangers.

Belleville – Two second-year Welding and Fabrication Technician students from Loyalist College have received a Canadian Welding Association Foundation Post-Secondary School Award of $2,500. Recipients were selected based on academic excellence and/or their passion for the industry. “With this award I can further my education and enhance my welding skills,” said Nicholas Paiva, one of the students. “It will enable me to learn more about the trade.” The CWA Foundation established this award program in 2014 with the intent of promoting and encouraging the pursuit of post-secondary education in welding. “Winning this national award has been a great confidence builder,” said Nicholas Companion, the other winning student. “I love the program and my professors have been extremely supportive, which has been key to my academic success. I am honoured to have been chosen as a recipient of this award.” Ann Drennan, the dean of Applied Scienc-

Mezzo soprano and pianist bringing chamber music to Stirling in April By Terry McNamee
Stirling—The Quinte Society of Chamber Music (QSCM) has a treat planned for lovers of classical music and for those who would like to discover more about it. On Saturday, April 9, renowned mezzo soprano Annamaria Popescu, accompanied by pianist Todd Yaniw, will perform in The Art of Song Concert from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at St. Paul’s United Church in Stirling.
“We’re excited to have them coming,” said QSCM chairman Bonnie Sallans. “Todd Yaniw is a superb pianist, and Annamaria Popescu is a singer to die for! She will fill the room like rich chocolate.” Popescu is a Canadian-born singer from Montreal. She has performed in opera houses and on concert stages around the world, and also teaches voice and Italian diction for singers at McGill University’s School of Music in Montreal. Yaniw was born in Edmon-
ton and made his debut as a classical pianist at age 13 with the Edmonton Symphony orchestra. Since then, he has performed across Canada and internationally and won many awards, including three national first-place awards and a silver medal at the Eastman International Piano Competition. “I love his playing,” Sallans said. “It’s very sensitive and very warm.” Sallans said the church was chosen for this concert be-
Youth choir singing its own tune By Jack Evans After 30 years as a branch of the public school board, the former Hastings and Prince Edward Children’s Choir is now the independent, non-denominational Quinte Regional Youth Chorale, says founding director Rudolf Heijdens. In a recent interview, Heijdens credited retired director of education for the public
school board, Burle Summers, with the formation of the choir to meet his perceived needs of children with special singing skills or interests and their parents. The idea was an instant success, resulting in formation of choir branches at Bancroft and Belleville with monthly get-togethers of both units, he explained. “In those days there were singing and music Continued on page B14

cause of its wonderful acoustics, and that the venue is well suited to this type of concert. She hopes that the event will attract people who may not have much experience of classical music. “I feel that a really excellent way to introduce people to classical music is to play this type of music,” she said. “It’s only $15 a ticket, because we’d like to encourage people who have never come to hear classical music before
to come out and give it a try. “We’re trying to bring the kind of experiences that are usually only available in an urban context into our rural context. It’s comparable to having Wayne Gretzky appear at the arena!” She said people are also invited to come and watch the Masterclass being given the next day at the church at 1 p.m. and attend a social hour with the two artists at the church before the class begin-

TRAVEL
By John M. Smith
A Visit to Mark Twain’s Hometown of Hannibal, Missouri
I found myself in Hannibal, Missouri, the boyhood home of Samuel Clemens, the American author and humorist who is better known by his pen name of Mark Twain. This city, located on the Mississippi River and about 160 km. northwest of St. Louis, was the setting of some of his most famous works, including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and there’s now a statue of these two characters here, at the foot of Cardiff Hill. In fact, there are a lot of connections to these stories and to this particular writer in Hannibal, Missouri! I visited Mark Twain’s boyhood home, which is now known as the Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum, and it’s now

one of several properties in the complex, for some of the other sites include his father’s office (J.M. Clemens was a Justice of the Peace here), the Becky Thatcher House, the Huck Finn House, the Mark Twain Cave, and the Interpretive Centre. The museums include several original Norman Rockwell paintings (commissioned as illustrations for the two aforementioned books), treasured family belongings, several first editions by Twain, many historic artifacts, and several of his memorable quotations. There was even a structure of a fence, with paint brushes attaches, and when I grabbed a brush in the interactive display, I’d learn of some of the gifts that Tom Sawyer received for allowing others to help paint that white picket fence. Just outside the boyhood home was a replica of that very fence, with an explanatory sign about Tom, who was being punished by his Aunt Polly by having to whitewash the fence,

and how he tricked others into “paying” him (with gifts/trinkets) for the “pleasure” of sharing in that painting. It’s one of the most loved and memorable scenes from the book, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Another memorable scene from that same book would be when Tom and Becky get lost in a cave, and that incident was probably inspired by an area cave that the author would have been familiar with. It’s now known as the Mark Twain Cave, and tours have been drawing visitors here for well over a hundred years. The first organized guided tour took place in 1886, and it’s now a National Natural Landmark. The guided tour of the actual cave takes about an hour, and the walkways are smooth, with no stairs to worry about. Much of Mark Twain’s writing was inspired by his surroundings and acquaintances. It has often been said that Tom had much in common with the author himself as a boy, perhaps sprinkled with traces of two schoolmates, John Biggs and Will Bowen, and that Huck was very similar to Twain’s boyhood friend, Tom Blankenship. Apparently Becky Thatcher was based on Twain’s own childhood sweetheart, Laura Hawkins, and her childhood home is now known as the Becky Thatcher House. A replica of Tom Blankenship’s boyhood home, now known as the Huck Finn House, is a part of the complex, too. . In his autobiography, Twain wrote that “In Huckleberry Finn I have drawn Tom Blankenship exactly as he was. He was ignorant, unwashed, insufficiently fed; but he had as good a heart as ever any boy had. His liberties were totally unrestricted. He was the only really independent person.” You might say that Mark Twain “rules” in the Hannibal area, for apart from all the references that I’ve already referred
to, there’s a Mark Twain Statue (in Riverview Park), a Mark Twain Lake, a Mark Twain Memorial Lighthouse, a Mark Twain Campground, a Mark Twain Taxi Service, a Mark Twain Dinette, a Mark Twain Brewing Company, an annual Twain on Main Festival, a Mark Twain Avenue, Huckleberry Heights Drive, Huckleberry Park, Huck Finn Shopping Centre, and Becky’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor & Emporium. The toll free phone number for the Hannibal Convention & Visitors Bureau is even 1-TOM-AND-HUCK. That’s quite an impact! I learned that Mark Twain thought that the bicycle was a worthwhile vehicle, for he said: Get a bicycle. You will not regret, if you live!” This is now available for purchase on a t-shirt in Hannibal. Another quotation of his that I approve wholeheartedly with is his attitude to travelling: “One must travel to learn.” Here are three other quotations of his that I found and liked: “One of the most striking differences between a cat and a lie is that a cat has only nine lives.” “Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company”. “Do not put off until tomorrow what can be put off till day-after-tomorrow just as well.” For a time, Samuel Clemens/Mark Twain was a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River, and one of his books is entitled Life on the Mississippi. While in this area, I also took a riverboat cruise, aboard the “Mark Twain” (go figure!). A one hour narrated sightseeing cruise costs $18.00, and it includes information about and sightings of both Rockcliffe Mansion and Lover’s Leap. Hannibal also offers trolley sightseeing tours and ghost tours. For More Information: www.VisitHannibal.com; www.visitmo.com

The Good Earth: Odds & Sods 2
1. It’s Not Our Show Anymore Last week I was a bus captain for a group visiting Canada Blooms for the day. With the exception of the bus driver, I reckon I was the youngest person on that bus. (If any of my fellow passengers want to challenge that statement they are free to let me know their age and I will post it alongside my own in the next Good Earth column. Please send an accompanying photo.) On the ride home I asked how the folks liked the day. The overwhelming answer was a very positive “Yes!” Then most of the chatter immediately afterwards was full of qualifiers. It was a very fun and worthwhile excursion but they felt there wasn’t a lot they could take back to their home gardens- those that were still active gardeners. The prominence of the home show (immediately inside the entrance) and the relegation (my word) of Blooms to the back portion of the building is an obvious indicator of which of the two events is seen as having the greater
value to the attending patrons. As a group, we Baby Boomers have massive influence and purchasing power; however, we’re no longer focussing on houses, gardens and landscapes. Generation X has growing families, and the Millenials (who have absorbed the Y or Nexters) are also knocking on the white picket gates. I looked at a virtual mountain of data to see what the differences were between these “kiddies” and us when we were buying our first houses. Folks, the empirical answer is, “Not much.” And the bottom line is that they’re not ready to be involved in landscaping at the moment. They’ll get around to it but they’re busy establishing themselves (professionally and financially.) If shows like Blooms can hang in there for another 7 or 8 years, there will be a resurgence in popularity and they’ll “co-locate” in front of the other partners. As it should be. 2. So How Does a Millennial Approach Gardening? Most of the studies and surveys that
I read are contradictory without any real emergent consensus. Our eldest daughter fits into this looking-to-buya-home group so I reckoned I would ask her. The thing to remember is that her parents come from families with strong farming and gardening backgrounds, her Dad (c’est moi) works in the green industry, and she did have a summer job at a garden centre. So this puts her into a smaller generational subset of the Millies (my term for them). I have condensed and altered her answers (so as not to name the actual retail outlets) but have not changed the essential gist of her responses. My question to her was, “If you bought a house, how would you go about shopping/learning about the growing things and other outside landscaping stuff?” Bless her heart; she started by saying she would ask me. Ellyn’s answer echoes many of her peers and it is useful to those of us in the industry who is trying to sell growing things to the Millies. “...I’d ask you. But I’d also prob-
ably look up some landscaping ideas on Pinterest (for visuals mostly, but sometimes the “pins” are linked with decent websites). Then I’d refresh my memory on what zone we’re in and probably Google a list of hardy plants. Then I’d pick the ones I liked and see what would work in the yard based on the soil/light/wind/drainage etc. I’ve already discussed coming to a Garden Centre/Nursery to buy anything large but small bedding plants we buy at the farmers market. My husband also grows from seed (which we totally get at a Large Boxstore, but he loves it). I also have access to organic plants (veg mostly but some perennials) through our CSA. (Dan’s note: Community Shared Agriculture) Realistically, I’d probably go to a box store for storage, tools, soil, stone etc. Any ornaments I’d likely by second hand from a flea market or yard sale or picked up by the side of the road (like the pallet I have on the balcony). We also hit end-of-season sales at garden centres to see if there’s
Dan Clost anything we can salvage. There will be no pesticides/lawn treatments on my grass. Ever. If I have my way it won’t even be grass. I would (personally) likely never hire a landscaping service. Depending on our situation, we might share a lawnmower with a neighbour...” End note: A blessed and happy Easter time to everyone.

Trenton - It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of June Richardson, long time resident of Trenton, Ontario. June died Monday the 14th of March at Trenton Memorial Hospital following ongoing health problems. Born in 1941 in Prince Edward Island, the daughter of Roderick and Mary Ford, June grew up on the island then moved to Montreal as a young woman. She married Harold Richardson (originally from New Zion, New Brunswick) in August 1963. They remained in the Montreal area for 20 years before moving to Ottawa briefly then settling in Trenton in 1981. Through the years the family continued to travel ‘down home’ to their cottage in PEI with June and Hal spending summers there and winters in Trenton during their retirement. June leaves behind her husband of 52 years, Harold Richardson, her son Mike of Trenton, her daughter Lori of Toronto, and many close friends. Cremation and a private family gathering have taken place. As expressions of sympathy, memorial gifts may be made to the family’s charity of choice: Alzheimer Society of Hastings-Prince Edward.

In preparation for their European tour, the choir has three concert dates locally. The first is Wednesday, March 30 at 7 p.m. in Eastminster Church. The second is Sunday, April 10 at 3 p.m. in St. Michael’s Catholic Church, Belleville and the third is Saturday, April 30 as guests of the barbershop chorus, A Cappella Quinte, for their annual show in Maranatha Church at 7:30 p.m. For the coming Europe tour, they will sing in several launguages – English, Latin, Hungarian, French and German, he said.
