Championship hopes on hold for another year

Sports - Brighton - Minor hockey fans will have to wait for another season, in the hope of bringing home an allOntario championship trophy. The Brighton Legion Bantam Braves were defeated on

March 20 by the Tavistock Titans. Brighton’s sole provincial title came when a local Peewee squad defeated a team from Durham in 1982. Please see “The kids� on page 5

News - Northumberland County Northumberland County has set a target of creating upward of 48 new affordable housing units by 2020 with an additional $4.1 million it’s been given in federal and provincial funding. The extra capital is being provided through the Investment in Affordable Housing (IAH) for Ontario program which was extended for six years in 2014. The same program provided $2.1 million toward construction of 24 housing units in Campbellford in recent years. County council gave its support March 18 to a program delivery and fiscal plan being prepared to develop new affordable rental housing and it authorized director of community and social services Mark Darroch to proceed with a request for proposals. “This is going to satisfy a lot of concerns that we’re hearing more frequently in the county [about affordable housing],â€? said Councillor Gil Brocanier, the mayor of Cobourg. People will be “gratefulâ€? to learn what’s being done, “because we have such a long waiting list.â€? Darroch said there are currently about 350 people on the waiting list for affordable housing units and they typically have to wait 18 months for a placement to open up. “We look at this as a wonderful opportunity ‌ for Northumberland County to negotiate and be the architects of a new business model with the private sector, the non-profit sector, health and social services, and the Central East LHIN [Local Health Integration Net-

work],� Darroch said. With funds being limited, “we want to guarantee to keep not only affordable housing but social programs and health programs,� he said. This will involve looking at “the possibilities of amalgamation, consolidation and shared resources� under the business model to be developed. A working group of senior and midlevel management staff will be formed from the departments of community and social services, finance, and facilities to review how the IAH funding “could best support affordable housing growth in Northumberland County� and to identify potential sites that would be suitable for redevelopment. Redevelopment “could include rental space built on the concept of a small business incubator model,� manager of housing services Lisa Horne wrote in a staff report. “This model fosters the growth of start up business by providing below market rent for a fixed period of time. In addition, there are opportunities to utilize space for childcare, seniors, aboriginals living off reserve and a variety of family services centrally located.� The working group will consult with the warden, CAO and county council’s social services representatives in doing its review. Of the $4,193,200 Northumberland is to receive, $425,200 was applied in 2014 toward the operating component of the guidelines under the Housing Allowance Program. The remaining $3,768,000 will be divided over five years, starting with $843,100 in 2015-2016 and ending with $400,400 in 2019-2020.

FEATURED TOUR The Bantam Braves pose for a post-game team photo with the A.G. “Alf� Lockeridge Memorial Trophy as finalists in the OMHA Bantam double-C championship. Coach Tom Moran is second from the right. Photo: Ray Yurkowski

The Braves should take pride in knowing they are one of the last two teams competing in the Bantam double-C loop says coach Tom Moran. According to OMHA officials, 21 teams took the ice at the start of the season. “The kids have come a long way, not just on the ice but emotionally as well,� he said. “All season long, they’ve been a team. Everyone got along great.� After a fifth-place finish in Eastern Ontario regular season play, the Braves toppled the top two teams in the league– the Campbellford Colts and Lakefield Chiefs–to make it to the provincial finals. And they had to do it the hard way, by playing four series with no byes throughout the campaign. “We worked hard all season but we’ve always done it the hard way,� said Moran. “We had to learn to come back from deficits and, in the playoffs, we did that.� In the semi-final, the Bantam Braves battled back from a 2 - 1 deficit in the best-of-five

series: posting a pair of decisive wins, 5 - 1 and 5 - 3, against the Newcastle Stars. After the championship loss, Moran noted, “We kept it exciting right through to the end.� Game three of the series had the crowd on the edges of their seats. The Titans tallied in the first period and early in third to take a 2 - 0 lead. But the Braves fought back and closed the gap with a goal from Benny Scarr-Crosmas, his 24th in the playoffs. The Braves pulled their goaltender and had their chances on the opposition net, but in the dying seconds of regulation time, the Titans scored on the empty net to seal the victory. “We played good enough to win tonight but sometimes people forget, these are 13- and 14-yearold kids [as of December 31] and they’re going to have up and down games,� he said. “Unfortunately, it just didn’t go our way.� “I couldn’t be more proud of this team, the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, Regarding: Gwynne Dyer, “How long will the oil stay cheap?� The declaration, “Clean energy producers are seeing demand for their solar panels and windmills drop as oil gets more competitive,� requires a rebuttal. Taken at

face value, one must wonder if the original source for that statement was “The Heartland Institute.� Oil accounts for only five per cent of global electricity production (IEA figures). Even the Gulf States have realized that burning oil to power infrastructure is not a

wise use of the commodity. One example is the recent Dubai Electricity & Water Authority (DEWA) tender for a 200 MW solar PV project. The project was won at a contracted 25year electricity tariff of 5.8 cents per KWh. The cost of solar generation has plummeted to the point where it has reached “grid parity� in three southern (American) states and, by 2021, will reach grid parity in 49 out of the 50 (American) states. This explains the sudden push by Tea Partyers to join with environmentalists in the states of Florida and Georgia to allow thirdparty owned solar projects to directly compete, unimpeded, with utility power. In the first half of 2014, renewables provided 55.7 per cent of new installed U.S. capacity. Worldwide, total new renewable generation capacity exceeded total new non-renewable back in 2013 (IRENA figures). The margin continues to widen because

this limiting factor has been addressed, the marketplace will dictate what type of vehicle will sell. As an aside, if that limiting factor is addressed and assuming a conventional vehicle operates at 8L/100 km and electricity retails for 20 cents/KWh, gasoline would have to retail at 50 cents per litre to continue to be competitive. Thank-you, Mike Stortini, Batawa

A few suggestions in case of emergency Dear Editor, Re: Mock exercise puts emergency plans in motion March 19, 2015 Does a 50-vehicle pileup on the 401 constitute an emergency? During the mock exercise that took place last week was there any discussion about controlling traffic that has to be rerouted off the 401 and through Colborne and Brighton? Â Watching truck after truck lumber down Main Street and wait their turn to make the two wide-angle turns onto Highway 2, it seems to me there has to be a better way. What if all car traffic coming from the west were diverted off at Ontario Street, down to Harbour Street, then out to County Road 64 over to Highway 33 and either on to Trenton or to take Rednersville Road to Belleville? Or, conversely, cars would turn up Princess Street and along Sandford to Young

Street, then along Dundas to the high school and down to Highway 2. Everyone seems to have an iPhone so perhaps an app could be developed to show the day’s route. Could all the traffic lights in Brighton be turned off for the duration of the event or at least the ones from the Royal Bank through to Highway 2? I recognize that the cost of a police officer is high but having two directing traffic at the corner of Main and Young and Prince Edward. Highway 2 could keep the traffic moving more quickly and speed up the endless lineups of traffic from 401 to Colborne to Brighton. Does Brighton have a siren? What if there were three short beeps, followed by silence, then three more short beeps. That would notify the residents that there is a major traffic tieup and to check the Belleville radio station which seems to

be the only “live� station in the area. Upon hearing the siren, residents would know to either stay home, walk downtown, or leave their car in the municipal parking lots close to downtown. I felt sorry for our local business owners on Wednesday, March 18. I don’t imagine they got many customers that day. If the main street were cleared of cars in the direction that the traffic is flowing, perhaps there could be three lanes of traffic, two with the traffic and one against it. I realize that the above suggestions would require some major rethinking but it doesn’t make sense to keep doing the same old when it is obviously not working. Maybe with Northumberland looking at emergency preparedness, this is the time to engage in a new dialogue. Yours sincerely, Christine Hammond, Brighton

Electric cars were never expected to have “a major market breakthroughâ€? this year, regardless of gas prices. The limiting factor is the current cost of battery technology. For the technology to reach market parity with gasoline-powered vehicles, the cost must decline from $U.S. 220/ KW to $U.S. 100/KW. Once

Yemen: Another Civil War

Editorial - The last American troops are being pulled out of Yemen after al-Qaeda fighters stormed a city near their base on Friday. Houthi rebels who have already overrun most of the country are closing in on Aden, the last stronghold of President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi. And Sunday ISIS (Islamic Gwynne Dyer on State) sent suicide bombers into two big mosques in the capital, Sanaa, killing 137 people. The U.S. State Department spokesman put the best possible face on it, saying that “due to the deteriorating security situation in Yemen, the US government has temporarily relocated its remaining personnel out of Yemen.” He even said that the U.S. continued to support the “political transition” in Yemen. But there is no “political transition.” There is a four-sided civil war. Why would anybody be surprised? There has been no 25-year period since the 7th century AD when there was not a civil war of one sort or another in Yemen. (And the impression that it was less turbulent before that may just be due to poor record-keeping.) But this time it’s actually frightening the neighbours. Yemen’s current turmoil started in 2011, when the dictator who had ruled the country for 33 years, President Ali Abdullah Saleh, was forced out by non-violent democratic protesters (and some tribal militias who backed them). Saleh’s deputy, Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi, took over and even won an election in 2012, but he never managed to establish his authority over the deeply divided country. Hadi had the backing of the United States and most of the Arab Gulf states (including Yemen’s giant northern neighbour, Saudi Arabia) because he was willing to fight the Islamist extremists who had seized much of southern and eastern Yemen. But his main preoccupation was actually the Houthis, a tribal militia based in the largely Shia north of Yemen. Angry at the status that the north was being offered in a proposed new federal constitution, the Houthis came south in force and seized Sanaa last September. In February, after months of house arrest, Hadi fled to the great southern port of Aden, his hometown and Yemen’s second city, and declared that the capital instead. So the Houthis came south after him. Meanwhile Saleh, the former president, returned from exile and made an alliance with

the Houthis despite the fact that he had launched six major offensives against them back when he was president. That’s what radicalised the Houthis in the first place, but they needed some national figure on their side as they moved deeper into the south, and Saleh is at least a Shia. He will have to do. Clear so far? Good. The third contender for power is al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), whose forces, like the Houthis, are only a half-hour’s drive from Aden. As its fighters closed in on Aden last week, AQAP seized the town next to the airbase where the American forces were living, and Washington ordered them out. The last thing it wants is American military hostages in AQAP’s hands. It is not yet clear whether AQAP and the Houthis will fight each other first (and then the winner gets to attack Aden), or whether one of them will grab the city and try to defend it from the other. It’s even possible that Hadi can hold Aden but he probably can’t take back the rest of the country. And we mustn’t forget the fighters of ISIS (Islamic State), who announced their presence in the country last month. Their sole operation of note so far has been the suicide attacks on two Shia mosques in Sanaa. But as Sunni fanatics in a country that is currently being overrun by its Shia minority, ISIS will not lack for recruits. If it doesn’t qualify as a full fourth force yet, it soon will. In conventional terms, Yemen doesn’t matter much. It has a lot of people (25 million), but it is the poorest country in the Arab world. Its oil has almost run out, and its water is going fast. You could argue that its geographical position is “strategic” at the entrance to the Red Sea, commanding the approach to the Suez Canal but it’s hard to see any Yemeni government getting the kind of military forces it would need to close that waterway. What worries people is the possibility that the jihadis (either al-Qaeda or ISIS) could come out of this on top. They are certainly not there yet, but many Sunnis will see them as the best chance to break the hold of the Shias who, despite their internal quarrels, have collectively dominated the country for so long. Shias are only one-third of Yemen’s population and the resentment runs deep. The Houthi troops now occupy almost three-quarters of the country’s densely populated areas, but it would be an exaggeration to say that they actually control all that territory. They are spread very thinly, and if they start to lose they could be rolled up very quickly by the jihadis. That could turn Yemen into a terrorist-ruled “Islamic State” with five times the population of the one that sprang into existence last July on both sides of the Syrian-Iraqi border. The odds are against it, but after that “July surprise” nobody is ruling it out.

By Stephen Petrick Editorial - Some time has passed since the news that shocked the Quinte region came out; the Ontario Hockey League’s Belleville Bulls had been sold and will relocate to Hamilton, a move that ends the franchise’s 34-year history. Now that emotions have settled, let’s analyze how this happened and who’s to blame.
 A strong argument can be made that it was the municipality’s fault, since, for years, Bulls majority owner Gord Simmonds and been lobbying for improvements to the city-owned Yardmen Arena, one of the most outdated facilities in the league, and council never granted him his wish.
 Likewise, a strong argument can be made that Simmonds was heartless in the decision, as he struck a deal with a Hamilton hockey owner quickly, without allowing the city any time to respond. Or blame can be put on the fan base, or lack thereof. The Bulls had one of the worst attendance records in the league this year–of course the play of the team the past two seasons didn’t help.
 As in most controversial stories, the truth lies in the middle and all parties involved need to share some blame. I spoke to Belleville Mayor Taso Christopher and Simmonds personally last week, and within two ten-minute conversations, it was painfully clear that the two have some deep-rooted animosity toward each other. A deal between those two personalities was never going to happen.
 But the less obvious question is why did the OHL turn its back so suddenly upon Belleville, considering the Bulls have a long history in the league and a decent record of success; (they’ve represented the league in the Memorial Cup twice since 1999). Simmonds had to get approval of the OHL’s board to make the move happen. Clearly the league, run by Commissioner David Branch, agreed with his position on the Yardmen Arena and felt no local ownership group was available.
But, in the city’s defence, there were logical reasons not to pursue a new or improved arena. Belleville currently has a massive infrastructure project on the go, and in recent years, spent big money to build the Quinte Sports & Wellness

Centre, which is attached to the Yardmen. A major renovation of the Yardmen would be tough to achieve without significantly raising taxes.
 Then there’s the obvious question; if the Bulls aren’t selling out the Yardmen facility now, then why is a bigger facility needed?
 I was a reporter in Kingston when that city debated building what is now known as the Rogers K-Rock Centre, with the OHL’s Kingston Frontenacs as the main tenant. The new arena didn’t automatically lead to increased attendance. But that wasn’t a huge issue because the arena was also built to stage concerts, which the city felt comfortable it could get, considering it’s halfway between Montreal and Toronto.
 In Belleville, however, a large entertainment centre would be an injustice to those who worked to renew the Empire Theatre in recent years. And while the Empire Theatre people get some decent shows, it’s not easy for them. They couldn’t get a big time American act for Rockfest this year. (And how cosmic was it that news of the Bulls move was made official at the exact moment a press conference was held to announce the lineup of this year’s Great Canadian Empire Rockfest?) If the city were to expand the Yardmen into a multi-purpose entertainment facility to meet OHL standards, it could end up spending tonnes of taxpayers’ dollars only to have an arena with more empty seats and only the occasional concert. But the OHL board wasn’t patient with the city, and allowed Simmonds to yank the Bulls out of town quickly in a deal that even stunned people who were close to the team.
The OHL today is very different than the OHL I knew as a kid. Growing up in Kingston in the 1980s and 1990s, I went to games at the Kingston Memorial Centre, a post World War II-era barn that made the Yardmen look like the Taj Mahal in comparison. But today, the OHL is a big business and it requires its rinks to have big modern facilities complete with corporate boxes.
Maybe Belleville can have that in the distant future, but it’s not going to happen anytime soon. All hockey fans can do here is hope the OHL is willing to come back the day that the city’s spending ability doesn’t clash with the league’s vision.

P. 50 and amendments thereto), the Lieutenant Governor in Council did designate portions of King’s Highway as Controlled-Access Highway and portions of proposed highway respectively as a King’s Highway and as a Controlled-Access Highway, all in the County of Northumberland, Municipality of Brighton, Geographic Township of Brighton. The existing Controlled-Access Highway is more particularly described in Order in Council number O.C. 1626/2014 (effective date December 10, 2014) as PARTS 1 and 2 on Ministry of Transportation Plan P-3176-76, registered in the Land Registry Office for the Land Titles Division of Northumberland as Number ND114079. The proposed Controlled-Access Highway, known as Highway 401 and having a right-of-way of varying width, is more particularly described in Order in Council number O.C. 1625/2014 (effective date December 10, 2014) as PARTS 1, 2 and 3 on Ministry of Transportation Plan P-3176-75, registered in the Land Registry Office for the Land Titles Division of Northumberland as Number ND114080 and for the Registry Division of Northumberland as Number NC400516.

A light at the end of the tunnel?

Dear Editor, For some time now I have thought that Brighton Council sees itself as the apex of a triangle rather than the centre of a circle of shared responsibility and cooperation with staff and community volunteers; how else to explain such decisions as assigning oversight of the waste water treatment plant to an outside consultant, assigning responsibility to another third party consultant to undertake a service delivery review rather than allow staff to finish a partially completed internal review, and unilaterally cancelling economic development programs founded on partnership with volunteers and community organizations. However, call me a cock-eyed optimist, but I believe I see early signs of a re-think. Following up on an item in last week’s paper, “Brighton investigates emergency notification system,” I listened to the audio record of the March 16 council meeting and heard a well-argued proposal by Mayor Mark Walas to refer the matter to council’s Emergency Planning Committee or to Northumberland County where other municipalities could benefit. Unfortunately his proposal was firmly rebuffed by the originator, Councillor John Martinello, with the statement that “committees advise council, council doesn’t seek approval of committees.” However the mayor’s proposal did receive support from other councillors and can be followed up after the initial address to council. The next day at the budget meeting Mayor Walas had more success blocking

a proposal by Councillor Steven Baker to reduce funding for tourism services from $47,124 to $18,000. Unfortunately he had to table an arbitrary cut of ten per cent in order to get buy-in from a majority of council, a move that is particularly aggravating in view of council’s recent decision to waste a similar amount ($5000) to have the CAO’s employment contract reviewed, a move that benefits nobody except the lawyers. But it was a better outcome than Councillor Baker’s proposal and there was a healthy discussion that allowed Councillors Vink and Ostrander to make the case that tourism services are a municipal service contracted out to the Chamber of Commerce not funding provided for a Chamber activity. I feel sure that some will think I’m clutching at straws here, it’s not a light at the end of the tunnel but a freight train coming down the track, but I think we have to nurture positive signs. The only alternative is the next election and that’s three years and eight months away. Dave Cutler, Brighton

How to achieve political power Dear Editor, I’ve just read some interesting ideas about political power and how to achieve it. These ideas might be worth passing on to any of your readers who wonder how Harper and his gang managed to get and (so far) maintain control of Canada: “The receptivity of the great masses is extremely limited, their intelligence is small, their forgetfulness enormous. Therefore all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and they should be used like slogans until the very last man in the audience is capable of understanding what is meant by this slogan. “The most brilliant propaganda techniques will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is constantly remembered and applied with the closest attention. It must confine itself to a few points and everlastingly repeat them … persistence is the first and most important condition for success. “The purpose of propaganda is … to convince the masses. The masses, however, are slow-moving, and they always require an interval of time before they are prepared to notice anything at all, and they will ultimately remember only the simplest ideas repeated a thousand times over.” To me these ideas go a long way in explaining Harper’s achievements. The guy I’m quoting–Adolf Hitler– also enjoyed a certain measure of success in his day. Rick Patrick, Madoc

LETTER TO THE EDITOR LIFESTYLES

Are Hydro smart meters smarter than we know?

Dear Editor, My home is heated by electric baseboard heaters. We heat only two rooms. Our thermostats are never above 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Inside, we dress like Inuit, follow Hydro’s time-of-use metering system yet always expect brutal Hydro bills in winter months. We’re never disappointed. This year obedient to Hydro’s recommendations, I increased insulation to code, filled chinks in windows and doors, snuggled our hot water heater in a thick blanket, and of course, remained obedient to time of use. In a month that passed, I visited my wife every day and all day in the hospital. My time exceeded Hydro’s billing period. I turned thermostats to their lowest level, rarely watched TV, spent little time on my computer and the dishwasher and clothes washer were infrequently used. I expected a reasonable bill in the $200

range. The one I received was $603.704. Greatly disturbed, I sent a letter to Hydro One President Carmine Marcello and related details of my non-Hydro usage and the size of my bill. I suggested the only possible way to justify this extraordinary bulge in rates means smart meters are calibrated to accelerate when usage decreases. In response, Hydro posed two options. Neither did anything to assuage my mood and one even suggested an answer might be found if I paid to identify it. First was to average my rates over 24 months so I would make equal payments both in summer and winter. Second, since smart meters are now read in Hydro’s facility, they would send an actual person to check my meter’s operation. If it were faulty I would pay nothing, if it was not, I would have to pay $30. I had no way to challenge their results, having to take their word.

Since hundreds of outside meter readers are no longer needed, was the saving passed on to us? It’s as likely as having Hydro managers demand immediate wage reductions

in their incomes or to be honest with the public by pricing dangerous nuclear installations to include billions needed for down-time and refurbishing and other tens of billions to hide

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

An apology to Mayor Walas and council

spoken out at each of them, including public meetings, and Dear Editor, With reference to my letter in last going to Toronto to speak with the Minister of Health. John P. Harwood, week’s Independent, I wish to offer an Brighton apology to our popular mayor, Mark Walas, and to his competent and efficient council, who are doing such a good job in their new term in office. At least they are working together and we don’t have to read about the continual petty, spiteful, personal sniping, which wasted so much of the taxpayers’ time during the last council. My apology stems from the paragraph I wrote stating that our mayor and council were not expressing concerns about the threatened closing of our hospital. Today, March 19, when my letter appeared in the Independent, I received a call from Mayor Walas and he was quite indignant, rightly so, that I had accused him of not being involved. He explained that he had attended every meeting involving Trenton Hospital, along with the other mayors, and had

If so, you may be interested to learn that psychotherapists will soon become a regulated profession in Ontario. Anyone using the title psychotherapist (or an abbreviation) or claiming to be qualified to practise as a psychotherapist, must be regulated. Practitioners of psychotherapy will need to join the new College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), or be registered with another regulatory college whose members can practise psychotherapy.* CRPOÂ’s regulatory authority comes from the Psychotherapy Act passed by the Ontario legislature in 2007. Our mandate will be to regulate psychotherapists in the public interest, striving to ensure competent and ethical practice.

Catering deal leaves bad taste in deputy-mayor’s mouth

News - Cramahe Township - Two heads are better than one, they say, but the same might not be true of two businesses providing the same service. Deputy-mayor Sandra Arthur raised that doubt March 17 after council was presented with a staff report recommending the township negotiate threeyear deals with Black Dress Catering and King’s Plate Catering to provide catering services at the Keeler Centre. The two had responded to a request for proposal the township issued more than a year ago on the recommendation of the Mayor’s Task Force. “Both of the proposals were excellent and provided various opportunities to maximize Keeler Centre use and provide revenue streams for the Township of Cramahe,” manager of parks and recreation Keeley Biron wrote in a report. Together they have the ability to cater to a wide range of events with a distinctive style and menus along with “flexibility and responsiveness to changing customer requirements.” Arthur wanted more details about the arrangement, especially as to who would “push” the centre as a place to hold events, noting the facility generated just $6,575 in banquet revenue in 2014. Director of operations Dan O’Brien responded the contracts are in the preliminary stage and still to be negotiated. “There doesn’t seem to be a game plan in place here that I’m comfortable with,” said Arthur, who wondered why a three-year deal was being proposed. O’Brien said both businesses “bring great strengths to the table,” including contacts and experience, which will help build the centre’s volume of business. “Their success is obviously the township’s success,” he said. Councillor Ed Van Egmond said he

“would like to see … someone actually responsible for promoting the Keeler Centre” but he was satisfied with what staff was recommending. “Anything is better than what we have,” he said. Mayor Marc Coombs said the proposal came about because the township was having problems with “the cleanliness of the kitchen” and control of its equipment and utensils with hall rentals. Marketing and promoting the centre “really wasn’t the goal of this,” he said. “It hasn’t worked with it being open [to anyone to use the kitchen] … We haven’t had any success.” Those wanting to rent the hall for a catered function will be given the choice

of either business and both caterers will have the opportunity to stage their own events. Arthur remained sceptical. “I don’t see a game plan that’s going to make us money,” she said. Coombs said the municipality “had a staff person to do some of that, [which] ended up not going so well.” O’Brien said the municipality’s share of the revenue will be “a combination of percentages and obviously money back per plate” to be worked out in negotiations. Councillor Tim Gilligan said the

But that wasn’t something one of the caterers contemplated when she responded to the township’s RFP. “Competition’s good,” she told council, but she submitted her proposal with the assumption that only one business would be selected. Her proposal might not necessarily be the same when it comes time to negotiate, she said. “I might be a bit cautious now.”

agreement is “a good idea” and “better than nothing. “Let these people work to try to generate revenue,” he said. Arthur was the lone council member to vote against making the two businesses “exclusive catering partners” for the Keeler Centre. “We thought it was in the township’s best interests to have partnerships with both of them,” O’Brien said later.

Young girl’s gesture earns praise and a plaque By John Campbell

News - Castleton - Leigha Kelly didn’t get any birthday presents from her friends this year. What they gave her instead earned her praise and admiration. It all started when her mother, Kailyn, suggested she ask her friends to bring food items instead of presents to her birthday party in January to be do-

nated to Food4All Northumberland, a non-profit food distribution warehouse in Cobourg. As a young child just turning five, Leigha “wasn’t sure what this really meant,� so her mother had to explain, Mark Darroch, director of community and social services, told county council March 18 in a special presentation. She told her daughter “not all families

Safety essential when visiting a farm The nursery rhyme does not state, "Old MacDonald had a farm and on this farm there was a bunch of dangerous things." But maybe it should? Farmers perform an essential service, providing food and other products that consumers commonly take for granted. The inner workings of a farm are something to treat with respect. Most of

the families who live and work on a farm understand the potential hazards of such an environment. However, individuals visiting a farm may be unaware of these dangers. Understanding farm safety helps keep everyone safe. According to the organization Kids Health, the age groups at greatest risk for injury on farms are children ages 3 to 4 and

teenagers ages 13 to 14. Most injuries can be prevented, though, with a little education and precautionary measures. Machinery There are many different forms of machinery on a farm to help keep it working efficiently. These items can pose serious safety risks. Although tractors are the type of farm equipment that causes the most injuries, some adults still think it is safe to allow children to ride along. Injuries that may result from farm machinery include pinching of clothing or parts of the body, where a person may become trapped in the gears or components of equipment; cuts from

equipment that shears crops; bruising or cuts from projectiles thrown by mowers or other field equipment; and crushing or trapping injuries from machinery that falls or tips over. Animals Part of the excitement of visiting a farm is seeing and petting the animals. Although many animals may be docile and domesticated, they can still be unpredictable. Animals that are startled by yelling or loud noises also may become restless and dangerous. Children should understand that animals may unintentionally cause injuries. It may be in a horse's defense mechanism to kick

when it is scared. To avoid such injuries, never approach animals from behind. Also, when baby animals are present, a female may be protective of her brood and go on the defensive. Another inadvertent injury that may occur is from bacteria or viruses from the animals. Animal feces may contain bacteria, and there may be other microorganisms on the animals themselves. It is a smart idea to always wash your hands after handling a farm animal to prevent the spread of disease. Here are some other precautions that can be taken when visiting a farm. t %POhU BMMPX DIJMESFO UP XBOEFS around unsupervised.

tion with the Community Training and Development Centre (CTDC) in Cobourg. Northumberland-Quinte West MP Rick Norlock announced the $24,375 in funding from the New Horizons for Seniors program at the March 18 meeting of Northumberland County council. The grant is “important to the

whole of Northumberland County and area” and “will lead to many positive aspects,” such as “bringing seniors into the new digital age,” he said. Skype is a free video-based chat program that can be accessed through computers, laptops and tablets. United Way CEO Lynda Kay said the technology addresses the needs of newcomers who need help with their English skills and seniors who are “socially isolated.” It marks the first time United Way and CTDC will collaborate on a project. “It’s very exciting,” said centre CEO Madelaine Currelly, who explained the agency Stock#OP1412 will train seniors how to use Skype so they become “adept 2014 Ford Fusion SE ..........................

News - Brighton - Ratepayers interested in how tax dollars are spent, will have an opportunity to voice their opinions next month. After cutting back the budget to a blended rate of 1.55 per cent, or an average increase of $47.23 per year, now it’s up to the public to determine if the cuts are in the right places. Council cut back both the library, and the tourism services offered by the Chamber of Commerce, by 10 per cent each, and left only $60,000 in economic development to market the municipality, including repairs of signage. Mellissa D’Onofrio-Jones, library CEO, said they would be able to maintain the library at its current service levels, but not at the expanded rate that was alluded to during the election. Councillor Brian Ostrander said that by not expanding the services, means it won’t be efficient. “Reducing the library budget creates an inefficiency,” he said. He spoke of the all-candidate night at the community centre when every candidate stood up in support of expanded library services, saying that he had the feeling some members of council were not really in support of what they stood up for. Councillor John Martinello argued that he received more complaints about stinky sewers and bad roads than bad service at the library, so he was in favour of cutting back the library budget. Downtown revitalization plans, a new signage plan, Bay of Quinte Tourism and Living, branding and marketing, and all new vehicle purchases have been removed from this year’s budget. Meanwhile there’s a healthy $4.5 million budget for roads, with $2.3

County to collect leaf and yard waste in urban and rural areas News - Northumberland County Beginning in May and continuing until November, the county will collect leaf and yard waste on a twoyear trial basis at an annual cost of $225,000. Introduction of a seasonal program serving urban and rural residents was recommended in Northumberland County’s Long-Term Waste Management Plan adopted a year ago. The plan is intended to serve as a guide to council and staff in deciding how to divert more waste from the county’s lone remaining landfill, in Brighton, which could reach its capacity by 2023. Area municipalities that currently offer a leaf and yard waste collection program were notified last fall “they would no longer be required to do so,” Adam McCue, manager of transportation and waste planning and technical support, wrote in a report for council March 18. They were told they could continue to pick up Christmas trees, if they were already doing so, as well as “manage large-scale incidents of tree debris, caused by freezing rain storms and other severe weather events, on a case-by-case basis.” Rates to collect leaf and yard waste once a month throughout the county were negotiated with Green for Life that are “in line with what GFL currently charges” the county for its curbside collection services, McCue stated. The county is hoping it “can achieve another five per cent diversion” in material now being buried in Brighton– “around 2,000 to 2,500 tonnes a year at least,” Mo Pannu, the county’s director of transportation and waste management, said in an interview. The estimate is based on a pilot project conducted in Cobourg last year, in which 300 to 400 residents participated. Currently leaf and yard waste brought to the county’s landfill and transfer stations is turned into com-

posting material for use as cover. It’s also sold to residents and that practice will continue, Pannu said. As the amount of leaf and yard waste collected increases and more compost is produced, the county will have to decide what to do with the material in the long term. “Do we want to keep it here in the county or … send it to another municipality or [hire] a business to manage it for us?” Pannu said.

Another recommendation from the Long-Term Waste Management Plan that the county will begin working on this year is extending the recycling program to multi-residential dwellings such as apartment buildings, he said. A student will be hired this summer to go to each building to find out what its practices are to determine how best the county can provide service to this sector, he said.

Triple duty and bad weather why one Cramahe worker made it onto sunshine list By John Campbell

News - Cramahe Township - Two people in the township made more than $100,000 last year, and bad weather last winter was responsible for one of them making it onto the province’s “sunshine list.” CAO/clerk Christie Alexander earned $118,968 in salary and an additional $266 in taxable benefits in 2014 while Phil Kelly, an operations compliance foreman at the wastewater treatment plant, collected $114,264 in wages and another $150 in taxable benefits. However, there were “many factors” that contributed to Kelly’s overall income last year, Alexander noted in a report to council on information she provided to the province as required under the Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act. They included his providing for most of the year bylaw enforcement coverage for the township “which involved numerous call-outs and associated overtime.” There was also “considerable overtime required in January, February, March and December to deal with winter maintenance challenges and snow plowing,” Alexander wrote. And as the wastewater treatment plant’s lone operator “there was legislated standby and on-call coverage required as well as overtime to respond to ‘after hour’ situations.” Mayor Marc Coombs said “very severe winter weather” in early 2014 drove up labour costs for unionized staff who are paid time-and-a-half after hours and double time on weekends. “All were working a lot of hours during the last winter,” he said. “All our outside staff were well over their normal salaries last year.” Coombs said “the same thing happened in the county; every municipality is in the same boat. We’re just lucky to have somebody like Phil Kelly; he earned every penny.” “The man’s a hero,” Councillor Ed van Egmond said. Being the lone operator at the wastewater treatment plant after another employee retired in late 2013, “he actually saved us money,” Deputy-mayor Sandra Arthur said. Two more operators are in training, but the township has “a big problem” with succession planning, “so we need to move forward with that immediately,” she said. The purpose of the act, which became law in 1996, is “to provide a more open and accountable system of government,” says the Ministry of Finance. “It lets taxpayers compare the performance of an organization with the compensation given to the people running it. It also provides taxpayers with more details on how their tax dollars are spent.”

Show and tell by the Fosters fills the house By Diane Sherman

News - Ivanhoe - Much like the natural phenomena they have captured on film, Janet and John Foster work in harmony, complementing one another with their work and preservation of life around them. As two professionals, the Fosters worked together to produce outstanding images of wildlife in both still photography and cinematography. As a couple, they settled in Hastings County in 1975 which brought them into a permanent setting where they have applied their value for nature to rejuvenate a 200-acre farm in the central region. The land base provides for them not only a home, but scenes to photograph for productions, or use as stock photos for a little side cash. It has given them a piece of the continent where they strive to preserve and nourish the life they love to record. Hastings Stewardship Council representative Cliff McLean says he has been trying to get the couple to do a presentation, for over two years, about their eco-friendly approach to managing their property The Fosters supposedly declined, thinking it would not be of particular interest to the masses. They were mistaken. A standing-room-only audience quietly absorbed images and stories they shared in a show and tell presentation at

Huntingdon Veteran’s Centre, March 19, in Ivanhoe. Based on their production, Leave it Wild … and they will come, members of the Stewardship Council felt their presentation valuable for residents managing land or hoping to preserve natural habitat and encourage regrowth of the same. The property the Fosters purchased was an old farm, basically laid to waste. They let the old barn stand; it is now home to various species of creatures. They set up bird houses protected from predators and left a bit to farm out for hay crops. Species at risk, like the tree swallow, are given safe nesting range. Janet carries fresh nesting to them during the wet season. She checks for blowflies harbouring in the nest, feeding on fledglings. If found, she gently clears them out and changes the nesting. Each year they have their wild grass field burned off professionally. The result is fresh flowers, seeds and grasses to serve as food and shelter for a multitude of species. Leaving certain old trees and rock hedgerows garlanded with wild grapes, has brought them opportunities to record hovering birds plucking grapes, raccoons peaking from burrows and sparring tom Janet and John Foster have used their talents to record, produce and present visual documentation of Canadian wildlife for close to 40 years. Together they have created a natural turkeys fighting for rights. Please see “Four” on page B3

Carol Martin inducted into the Order of Canada By Brett Mann

News - Thomasburg - When Carol Martin received a phone call from the office of Canada’s Governor-General last June informing her that with her agreement, she was to be made a Member of the Order of Canada, she was “shocked, disbelieving and ultimately very honoured.” Last month Ms. Martin, a Thomasburg resident, made the trip to Ottawa with her daughter, Pamela, sons Christopher and Jeremy and her friend, Pat Dacey, for the formal induction ceremony at Rideau Hall. She describes her reception there and the event itself as “elaborate, very generous and well-organized.” The Order of Canada honour was bestowed on Martin in recognition of the contributions she and her late husband Peter made to the Canadian publishing industry and Canadian literature. Martin is Thomasburg resident Carol Martin was formally appointed a Member of the Order of Canada last month by Governor-General herself an author of several books David Johnson whose own appointment has just been extended to 2017. “It was altogether a wonderful event,” said Ms. Mar- including A History of Canadian tin.

the survival of Canadian authors and the publishing industry itself. Widespread and urgent concerns from the industry and the Canadian public spurred government action resulting in the establishment of the Canada Council and a Royal Commission study as well as support for struggling publishers, notably McClellan and Stewart, a firm being eyed for a U.S. takeover. Ms. Martin travelled by firstclass train to Ottawa where she was put up at the Marriott Hotel from which she was “spirited away” by bus with her companions to Rideau Hall, the residence of the Governor-General, accompanied by an Aide-de-Camp “in full regalia.” Governor-General David Johnson has recently had his fiveyear appointment extended to 2017 by Prime Minister Stephen Harper. He greeted each new appointee as they came forward, bowed and heard their citation read. Carol Martin’s citation describes her as a “champion of Canadian writers,” citing her “seminal role in founding the Canadian Association of Publishers and the Canadian Children’s Book Centre.” It notes her founding of the first Canadian Book-of-the-month club calling

her a “revered mentor.” “Here the Governor-General made a short speech about the Order of Canada and the contributions of the recipients to the country and how important they are,” Ms. Martin reports in an e-mailed communication with the Central Hastings News. “This was followed by each new Order of Canada member being named, coming forward to bow to the Governor-General and stand to one side as the citation is read out. Then the Governor-General shakes hands with that person and the insignia is attached to his or her left shoulder. The Governor-General speaks a few words and a photograph is taken. There is much clapping at every stage.” She notes the recipients are “not, for the most part, household names,” but span a wide spectrum of occupations and backgrounds including science, arts, sports, philanthropy, prisoner advocacy and conservationists. “The situation is very touching and a reminder of how all across the country Canadians are quietly working away to improve life … I am honoured and touched to be listed among them … it was altogether a wonderful event.”

No reason to criticize Bill C-51: Kramp By Stephen Petrick

News - Belleville - Prince Edward-Hastings Member of Parliament Daryl Kramp says Canadians have nothing to worry about Bill C-51, the proposed legislation that has been described as Canada’s “anti-terrorism” bill. The bill was the subject of a nation-wide protest on March 14, with demonstrators picketing outside Conservative MPs’ offices–including Kramp’s Belleville office–arguing the bill will cause a police state and could make even peaceful demonstrations illegal. But in an interview from his Parliamentary Hill office on Monday, March 23, Kramp said the criticism from protesters isn’t warranted. “Most of their information is dead wrong,” he said. “They’re quoting rumours and they’re quoting mistruths.” Kramp is directly involved with the bill as he’s the chair of Canada’s Public Safety and National Security Committee, which is in the process of writing it. More witnesses are expected to speak to the committee this week before the bill is tabled in the House of Commons. Kramp acknowledged that the bill is intended to give the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) more powers to investigate those perceived as potential terrorists. For instance, previously CSIS could investigate someone suspected to be a terrorism threat by interviewing parents or people close to the suspect. This bill would allow police to investigate the suspect more directly. However, he said there are still plenty of safeguards in the bill to ensure law enforcers aren’t given too much power. Search warrants will still be needed by police to investigate a suspect and the bill is only intended to allow police more

power when it comes to stopping national security threats, he said. Kramp stressed that the bill isn’t intended to stop demonstrators who protest peacefully, or even those who protest illegally through simple acts, such as chaining themselves to a truck. “But if you’re talking about blowing up a power plant, that’s a whole different situation,” he said. Kramp said he expects the bill won’t make it to the House of Commons for at least two weeks. The Public Safety Committee he’s chairing is made up of seven Conservative Party representatives and five members from Opposition parties, in accordance with Parliamentary rules. As the chair, Kramp doesn’t vote on the bill itself, unless he’s needed to break a tie. However, once the bill makes it to the House he can vote. Kramp said he isn’t bothered by the fact that protesters are demonstrating against the bill, saying The Canadian Cancer Society will soon be offering hope to people living with cancer and their families. Daffodil Days raise it’s their democratic right to do so. And he says he funds through the sale of Daffodil Pins.

Brighton historian tells a tale of murder and intrigue By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - Computer guru by day and historian and sleuth by night, Dan Buchanan of Brighton again captured the imagination of the Probus Club of Trent Hills with a repeat visit as a guest speaker. His subject this time was the sinking of a British gunboat HMS Speedy and the reason it set sail carrying many prominent people including a provincial law-enforcement officer and Ogetonicut, a member of the Ojibway tribe, who was accused of murdering trading post operator John Sharp near Lake Scugog. All hands were lost and it is said that this event changed the course of Canadian history. “Dan captivated us last spring with his story of the conviction and hanging of Dr. King of Codrington, Northumberland County’s last hanging,” said Alan Appleby, while introducing the special guest. The intrigue over the disappearance of HMS Speedy which sank in a violent snowstorm in Lake Ontario near Brighton on October 8, 1804, was kept alive for decades until OPP divers training in the area where it was thought to have gone down, discovered what appeared to be the ship’s anchor and bell and pieces of the hull. Buchanan’s tale unfolded with a

down, is thought to hold the key to the mystery. Telling the tale of this illfated voyage Buchanan added plenty of historical information which he has gathered over time as he researched the

plight of HMS Speedy. Buchanan added even more excitement to the story when he talked about an area on Lake Ontario known as “the Sophiasburgh Triangle,” located off the western end of Prince Edward County at the entrance to Presqu’ile Bay, where there is a “magnetic anomaly” and compass readings can be off by as much as 15 degrees. It is that anomaly which he believes caused the ship to hit a large rock, mapped at the time, and sink. Full of intrigue and all the elements that make for a good mystery Buchanan kept his audience holding their collective breath as he wove his tale. “Regulations are much more strict now to prevent the loss of history and items being stolen,” noted Buchanan. And so the anchor and bell and chest sit at the bottom of the lake–protected. “We are told there are cameras on shore to secure the area,” he noted. “We are told they can’t

even scrape the moss off the bell to read the name to see if it’s the HMS Speedy,” he added. “It’s a wonderful story and a part of Ontario’s history,” he concluded. “Dan has always been a history buff and has the library to show for it,” Appleby noted. In fact he has written a book about Dr. King (Dr. William Henry King, convicted of murdering his wife Sarah Ann Lawson, in 1859) called Murder in the Family which is due to be released this July. He has many accomplishments to his name including founder of the Brighton History Open House in February 2013, director of the Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society and a member of the Brighton Public Library Board. He has also developed a broader view of local history through interconnected family trees which he calls “community genealogy” which can be found on his website <www.treesbydan. com>.

We’ve spent a bit of time chatting about the honeybee and the challenges it is facing. At the moment, the blame game is heating up and lines are being drawn in the freshly tilled garden soil. The danger is that we will become drawn into just this one facet of the issue and totally disregard the bigger picture. (And there always is a bigger picture.) One of my mantras is, “What comes next?” It forces me to think beyond the moment and, hopefully, allows me to make decisions that will help create the best outcome (not always my desired outcome) given the resources and knowledge available at the time. If we apply that to the bees one of the “nexts” might be their extinction in which case we’re going to have to find other pollinators, some quick. Actually, GR, there are eleventy-eleven gazillion pollinators crawling, hopping and flying around this Good Earth this very moment. Did you ever wonder why a blueberry grower smiles when the air is thick with mosquitoes and black flies? Let’s make life easier for them as well

as the honeybees. It doesn’t matter if you have a balcony garden in an urban apartment or a community plot or a one-acre lot in the “burbs,” you can still create a nutritious oasis for all the pollinators. How cool will it be, when you’re sitting on your thinking bench with an appropriate beverage, to watch the incredible interaction of life taking place on your wee bit of the planet? O&S #4 Seedy Saturday returns. There are quite a few grassroots organisations that are active in retaining our heritage.

So, straight from Colleen O’Reilly (613-4756139 or clo_reilly@yahoo.ca). “Our second annual Seedy Saturday Quinte West is growing!

Our TMH committee looking for new solutions By Kate Everson

News - Trenton - The Save TMH committee is still going strong and meeting every week at city hall to talk about ways to keep the hospital viable. “We have $3,100 in our bank account,” reported chair Mike Cowan. The group talked about taking out liability insurance and incorporating the group. “If we are sued personally we have to defend ourselves,” co-chair Frank Barry said. Foundation chair John Smylie said it would likely be the directors and chairs not the whole group that could get sued. Smylie said they had a meeting with the QHC representatives and made it clear the expectations of the committee. Co-chair Betty Clost added they also toured the Trenton hospital to help understand the issues. Cowan said there is an acute medical staff shortage in hospitals across Ontario. “We are not the only one,” he said. He noted that many doctors prefer to work in the more lucrative city hospitals rather than smaller rural hospitals. Foundation executive director Wendy Warner said there are two physicians leaving Trenton for sure, a husband and wife team, and there may be one more. “We need them now,” she said. “They are very fed up with how Trenton hospital is being treated by QHC,” Warner said. “Dr. Iny loved this community and he is very frustrated with Point of Care and why the doctors were not involved.” Warner said they need representatives from Quinte West and Brighton on the QHC committee that recruits new doctors to the area, particularly young

people who can let the doctors know what is available in their community. “We need the right mix of people,” she said. She added that Campbellford hospital is very successful recruiting new doctors to that area, using videos and sponsoring training events, offering incentives. “The doctors were wined and dined,” she said. “They offered them localized incentives like Dooher’s donuts and tickets to Westben. It was very homegrown stuff and it worked for them.” Betty Clost said 30 years ago there were a lot of doctors from the base. Now many are over 65 and still working from a sense of commitment for their patients. Smylie said they asked QHC to confirm its commitment to TMH. They also asked them to break down the cost of running the TMH

emergency compared to QHC. “It was a long-winded explanation,” he said. “The issue is the funding formula. They have to balance the budget.” Clost asked what is happening with the promise of community engagement. Theoretically there will be public input into what people want their hospital to look like. Smylie said the community will decide what to put in TMH and the cost. Warner suggested a survey with a link to Facebook for people to contribute ideas. It would also do the tabulation. It was noted that there is no new money in the Ministry of Health (MOH) budget except for mental health. Sue White suggested they meet with groups and get ideas like medical clinics, hospice and convalescent care centres,

looking at hospitals in Niagaraon-the-Lake and Burke’s Falls that were reinvented. She said a convalescent care centre would be very practical, with people who are mobile using it as a step to going home from hospital. She noted there is huge concern over the old part of the hospital that is still empty, the whole third floor and some rooms on the first floor used for storage. Cowan said the cost to renovate them would be considerable to get them up to today’s hospital standards. John Smylie said they have to lobby MOH to relinquish their standards and to help find solutions outside the box. Wendy Warner said they have six months to define healthcare at TMH. Cowan said communication is a big problem. “This elephant is growing every day,” he said.

Bulls departure to impact non-profits, charities, fans By Stephen Petrick

News - Belleville - It’s tough to put a dollar figure on what the departure of the Ontario Hockey League means to Belleville. But it’s safe to say it’s significant and with the Belleville Bulls relocating to Hamilton next season, several Quinte-area charities and non-profits that work with the team will have to find new ways raise money. That thought is taking a toll on Bulls staffers who may soon be without a job, including Director of Business Operations Andrew Kerik, whose job involves building partnerships with community groups. While poor fan attendance and conflicts between team ownership and city hall in 2014-2015 ultimately doomed the franchise, from Kerik’s perspective the season was successful. The Pink in the Rink event Terry Buffett holds up a sign during the Belleville Bulls last regular-season on February 21 raised $61,000 game at the Yardmen Arena on Saturday. The long-time season ticket hold- for Belleville General Hospital er said the last few weeks have been “terrible” for him, knowing the Bulls Foundation.

for the Lung Association, raised more than $11,000. Those are just two examples of popular community events linked with the team. During any given home game, several charities and nonprofits are benefitting from OHL hockey, through auctions, raffles and other special promos. “We try to have one or two charities or non-profits at every one of our games,” said Kerik. “Our goal is to not turn away anybody. Part of our community involvement is to help whenever we can. “You see the numbers that Pink in the Rink draws, but I think, during the course of the year, we probably more than double that in what we ourselves donate.” Unfortunately, with the team relocating, Kerik can’t provide the people he’s worked with any clear answer on how they can make up for the revenue they’ll lose next year when the OHL vanishes from Belleville. But the team is exploring ways it can remain involved in the

community, at least for a few more months. “I’ve talked to a few of them. They’re all looking for solutions at this point. To be honest, we’re looking at ways we can end on a good note and bridge that gap. “With playoffs, five dollars from every ticket sold is going to be donated to minor hockey. But we’re looking at something of a bigger picture once the season is over; maybe a jersey auction where we can donate money to those charities.” As for keeping those partnerships in the long-term, that may be impossible. “The difficult part is that the majority of events we help with involve players,” he said. “Once the team moves they’ll probably be doing similar things in Hamilton.” He added the Medigas Celebrity Classic golf tournament may be an exception. Since it often involves bringing in Belleville Bulls alumni to participate, the franchise could still remain

involved. “But outside of that, I think it will be difficult to continue the way it is,” Kerik said. “They’re going to have to find new ways.” The news of the team’s sale and relocation is just as disheartening to loyal fans and long-time season ticket holders. During Saturday’s final-regular season game, Terry Buffett, a season ticket holder for more than 20 years, held up a sign that said “The Cowbells will ring no more,” a reference to the bells that many Bulls fans ring when the home team scores. “I’m going to miss the Bulls and the whole Bulls family,” he said, referencing the wide array of fans and community groups that made up the Bulls community. Standing by him, Etienne Rioux added that the sale is heartbreaking to his son Michael, who has special needs and rarely misses a game. “It’s a regular routine for him,” Etienne said. “He likes hockey and he’s made great friends here.”

TRAVEL

A visit to the “Moonshine Capital of the World”

This non-working still is found at the Franklin County Historical Museum. By John M. Smith

Lifestyles - Virginia’s Franklin County has been said to be the “Moonshine Capital of the World,” as illegal corn whiskey production and bootlegging drove the economy here during Prohibition. In fact, it’s said that the making of illegal, untaxed alcohol was an important industry in this rather impoverished area long before Prohibition, and that generations of Franklin County residents passed on the traditions and techniques, much like grandma would pass on a favourite cake

or cookie recipe. With the arrival of Prohibition, illegal distilling became even more tempting and profitable, and this, of course, led to more investigations and raids. Apparently some of the local police even “jumped onto the bandwagon” and accepted bribes to keep quiet. This scandal eventually led to the 1935 “Franklin County Whiskey Conspiracy Case,” and 20 defendants were found guilty of various crimes and were sentenced accordingly (but most received very light sentences).

During the conspiracy trial, government statistics revealed that in the early 1930s (between 1930-1935), about 37 tons of yeast, 17,000 tons of sugar, and several thousand tons of malt had been shipped into Franklin County, and some of the rumrunners said that they had moved over a million gallons of whiskey out of the county during that period. One woman, Mrs. Sharpe, confessed that she’d moved “more than 220,000 gallons” herself. This piece of history is retold annually during the Franklin County History Museum’s “Moonshine Express Tour,” held in April (this year it begins on April 12, and the cost of the tour is $14). The popular event attracts many visitors who want to learn more about it, and a convoy of buses takes people to 21 stops in and around Rocky Mount, where interpreters board the buses and take on the roles of Depression-era characters on all sides of the untaxed liquor business, including moonshiners, police, prosecutors, and members of the local temperance union. This Moonshine Tour has become the major fundraiser for the Franklin County Historical Society. While in Franklin County, I visited the Franklin County History Museum, which is housed in the former home of Flora Morris, who donated the home to the historical society. There’s no set admission fee, but donations are greatly appreciated. Here I saw a reproduction of a moonshine still inside, as well as an early 20th century model (though nonworking) outside. I also learned about

the area’s moonshine history, including some historical anecdotes. For example, I found out that many moonshiners burned apple wood, for it apparently didn’t give off much smoke. I was also told that authorities destroyed one still, spilling the contents onto the ground, and much of this was licked up by a farmer’s cow, resulting in a very inebriated cow wandering about. I also learned that one particular moonshiner hid his illegal corn whiskey under his babies’ beds, and when his house was about to be searched one night, he said that he’d really hope that the authorities wouldn’t awaken his sleeping children; they didn’t, and his stash wasn’t found. While exploring the Franklin County History Museum in Rocky Mount, I was given the “moonshiner’s snack,” which turned out to be a bottle of Coke with a bag of peanuts placed into it. It wasn’t bad. I also learned that the museum also hosts a “Ghosts and More Bus Tour” each October. Indeed, moonshine is certainly not the only topic covered in this museum, for there’s a lot of information about the Civil War, and there’s quite a collection of intriguing items from bygone days, including old washing machines, medical equipment, hat stands, farming tools, and a reed pump organ. I even found an old sign from the Department of Health that read: “Spitting on the sidewalk prohibited. Penalty $5.00 to $100.00.” And even before I entered the museum, I found an old Civil War tombstone on the porch, and it caused “quite a stir” in the group that I was with, for it read “John Smith.” Several wanted to take my photo beside this tombstone. While in Franklin County, I also visited the Blue Ridge Institute and Farm

FRANKLIN COACH & TOURS

I tried this “moonshiner’s snack” while in Virginia.

Museum at Ferrum College, and here I found yet another historic moonshine still. I was also told that these old stills are often found up in the hills and along the banks of the county’s mountain streams. Indeed, there’s probably some moonshine manufacturing going on in Franklin County to this very day. After all, the largest still ever found and destroyed in the county was in the 1970s, long after the end of Prohibition, and from 1960 to 1985, about 300 were found and destroyed there. Several books have been published about this phenomenon, including Matt Bondurant’s The Wettest County in the World, which was adapted into the movie Lawless. One county resident explained the crime this way: “I just don’t see that the government has a right to regulate what a man does with his own corn.”

Refreshed Hilton Hall revives MPP’s memories By John Campbell

News - Brighton - When Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi attended the open house at the Hilton Hall Heritage Centre last Sunday afternoon, it brought back memories of how he got started in politics: his name was pulled out of a hat. That’s right, Rinaldi’s long career in municipal and provincial politics might never have happened without that bit of luck in the beginning. It happened in 1992, when a member of Brighton Township council passed away and an election wasn’t scheduled for another two years. “Council of the day decided they were going to appoint somebody, so I was asked to put my name in,â€? Rinaldi recalled. “There were seven people that went the same way.â€? Two of the council members voted for him and the other two for someone else, creating a tie. The clerk suggested putting their names in a hat– and the rest is history. Rinaldi served two years as an appointee, was elected in 1994, and then voted in as deputy-reeve in 1997. A year later, the reeve quit and his colleagues, all “rookies,â€? chose him, as the longest-serving member, to fill the vacancy. “I became instant reeve,â€? he said. After the Town of Brighton and Brighton Township amalgamated in 2000, he was elected the new municipality’s first mayor. Three years later he entered provincial politics, and was elected MPP where he has remained ever since, apart from a twoand-a-half year span when he was out of office until winning his seat back in 2014. Entering the hall March 22 was also a step back in time for Rinaldi, who was “saddenedâ€? he hadn’t been back inside the building since 2000. It’s where he got his basic education in municipal politics. It was “certainly differentâ€? back then from what it is today. “When we had delegations we all sat around one big boardroom table,â€? Rinaldi said. “Decisions were a lot easier then ‌ We were able to accommodate people more on a one-to-

Finally after searching everywhere she found Bev Grills, of Grillsdale Farm near Campbellford, who is a local farmer and just happens to own a horse and a cutter. But sometimes the best dreams take a little while to make happen. “There was a short delay with this dream as the horse had not been pulling or been ridden for some time because she had a lame foot. Bev worked very hard with an Amish family to get ‘Dolly’ up and running in order to pull the cutter. With the sudden rise in temperature this also put a bit of a rush on the project,â€? she explained. During this process Krista learned from Jean the difference between a cutter and a sleigh. “A cutter is like a little convertible sports car and a sleigh is like a long limousine,â€? she said grinning. Jean’s love for horses began as a child. She remembers her father taking her to Sunday School on a horse. Later, as an adult, she and a friend would go horseback riding once a week. She recalls going on A horse and cutter ride this winter was a dream come true for Island Park residents Jean Taylor, who at 85, was able to enjoy vacation and horseback riding along the something she remembers doing as a child.

In loving memory of a dear husband, George, who passed away March 29, 2013 I though of you today, But that is nothing new.

What an Honour, To Be a Caregiver

In loving memory of a loving Dad and Poppa He never looked for praises, He never was one to boast, He just went on quietly working For the ones he loved the most. His dreams were seldom spoken, His wants were very few, And most of the time his worries Went unspoken too. He was there a firm foundation, Through all our storms of life, A sturdy hand to hold onto, In times of stress and strife. A true friend we could turn to, When times were good and bad, One of our greatest blessings The man that we call Dad and Poppa Remembered forever, Kevin, Jessica, Rob, Tammy and grandchildren

What an honour it was to be A caregiver to one who had cared so for me In sickness and health she was always there With plenty of kindness and ready to share The love that she had for friends and family And the special care that she had for me When it was time for our roles to reverse I remembered our vows, for better or worse And I thanked the Lord for privilege to serve And asked for help to give the care she deserved As things progressed it consumed every day But the Lord went before us to show us the way Then came the day when our care was needed no more For loved one had stepped through heaven’s door With a body of glory, she won’t need our care And soon we will be joining her there Forever loved by her husband Allen, sons Daryl (Wendy), Daren (Lori), grandson Matthew and her four brothers and families
