Meals on Wheels helps keep seniors in their homes By Joyce Cassin Brighton - There are a few reasons why people use Community Care Northumberland’s Meals on Wheels program... seniors living alone, adults with disabilities who are unable to cook for themselves, and those discharged from hospital with little or no help at home to get them through recovery, and volunteers are there to ensure everyone gets served. Community Care Northumberland in Brighton’s Mary Wilkes says they have about 25 volunteer drivers scheduled Tuesdays and Thursday each week to deliver the meals, and 14 volunteers in the kitchen. Kitchen volunteer Bev Anderson says ensuring everyone gets the exact meal they’ve ordered is a tough business. Some ask for salt-free meals, some with gravy, some not, soup, no soup, some with butter or margarine or neither, some want one (or two) desserts, although some want the sugar-free diabetic one. “We have to make sure we get the right meal to the right person,” Anderson said pointing to various notes at the packing station. Regional community relations coordinator Alicia Vandine says Community Care Northumberland delivered 22,343 hot and frozen meals from April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015, up six percent from the previous year, of which 6,237 meals Brighton Mayor Mark Walas delivered Meals on Wheels for Community Care Northumberland in celebration of March for Meals. David Lloyd, who appreciates having someone cook for him, was one of the were delivered in Brighton alone. clients served regularly by the program. Photo by Joyce Cassin Please see “Meals” on page 4

To celebrate March for Meals month, local dignitaries and some students, spent a couple hours of their time delivering meals. In Brighton, Mayor Mark Walas headed out with a volunteer to deliver several meals around the community. First up was David Lloyd who says the meals are great, and the variety is wonderful. “Yes, I cook, but I do appreciate a meal that’s cooked for me,” Lloyd said upon receiving his delivery last week. “Our multi-service agency depends on

volunteers,” said Trish Baird, Executive Director of CCN. “Without their weekly support, the Meals on Wheels program would not be able to service our growing number of clients. We also wish to thank all our local dignitaries for their participation in this year’s initiative to raise awareness of this program offered by our agency.” For more information on this or the many other programs, or to volunteer as a Meals on Wheels driver or kitchen worker, contact your Brighton Community Care Northumberland office at 613475-4190 or visit www.commcare.ca.

The Bangays: Saviours of the Brighton Train Station By Victor Schukov Ralph and Eugenia Bangay are authentic Brighton treasures. Sixty-seven years of marriage has tempered them into a joy to interview; they segue like a verbal tag team: He: “I recently turned 90.” She: “Well, in January.” He: “We met in the old high school.” She: “I was on my way in and he was on his way out.” He: “It has since been torn down.” She: “There was not one bad brick in that building.” Ralph was born here. Eugenia left Toronto 81 years ago to attend grade 2 in Brighton because, as she says laughing, “Everyone was starving to death in Toronto. My grandpa was on a $15 a month pension. When I’d ask him for nickel, he’d say he didn’t have enough.” Ralph worked as a plumber in Brighton when the town had less than 2,000 people. He calls himself a “collector of Canadian memorabilia.” (“Hoarder,” says Eugenia with a smile.) He would often come home with a truck load of stuff as payment for work done. In 1993, former Mayor Bill Pettingill said to Ralph, “You’re the greatest junk collector in town. The place for you is the old train station they are about to tear down.” (“Good place to store your stuff,” says Eugenia.) That evening, the Bangays stopped the wrecking ball, telling the crew that they were buying the place. “Then, I called the owner,” says Ralph. “He was just going to bed. We met the next morning in a Toronto restaurant, and the deal was done.” Ralph had just saved a precious piece of Brighton history. Opened in 1857, it was one of 32 stops of the first Grand Trunk Railroad train from Toronto to Montreal, with 22 stops a day serving Brighton passengers until the 1960s. Only nine original stations from the era remain. Ralph adds, “It opened up Canada here.”

Childhood memories would not molished: “When I was a kid, the allow Ralph to let the station be de- best thing to do was to bike to the station and ride up and down the ramps. Kids would sit and watch the trains go by, big wheels and tons of iron.” Eugenia says, “While Ralph was making repairs, visitors would interrupt to ask if they could come in

and look around. Many said that this was where they got off when they came to Canada, or while on their honeymoon.” Ralph says, “I couldn’t get my renovations done.” Eugenia says, “So he asked me to give him a hand with the people. I never got out of there.” She laughs again. In 1995, the Bangays opened the museum, calling it (unsurprisingly) Memory Junction. The jewel in the crown is the Belleville steam engine that arrived on four flat beds, totalling 120 tons. The engine had

once been a monument to Belleville’s railroad heritage at the Bay of Quinte shoreline Zwicks Island Park. Ralph: “The museum was regularly vandalized. Last summer, I told a neighbour that I was boarding the place up. She wrote a story in the paper and got over 500 replies.” Eugenia: “A drive was organized, and on Work Day over 400 people came to clean up.” Ralph: “We raised $4,000 in donations. The community’s effort led to the formation of Friends of Memory Junction.

OPINION

Bombs in Brussels

Belgium may be a boring country, but it still seems extreme for a Belgian politician to say that the country is now living through its darkest days since the end of the Second World War. Can any country really be so lucky that the worst thing that has happened Gwynne Dyer to it in the past 70 years is a couple of bombs that killed 34 people? That may sound a bit uncharitable, but respect for the innocent people killed by terrorists does not require us to take leave of our senses. What is happening now is the media feeding frenzy that has become almost a statutory requirement after every terrorist attack in the West. And people do let themselves get wound up by the media-generated panic. Last night at dinner, a young man staying with us overnight in London before taking a morning flight to the United States, openly debated with himself about whether he should cancel his (non-refundable) ticket or not. It was a ticket from London to Chicago that went nowhere near mainland Europe at all. The airlines are just as prone to panic, cancelling flights into Belgium as if the country had suddenly become a seriously dangerous place. This story will dominate the Belgian media for weeks, and the rest of the Western media for the remainder of this week. Even non-Western media will play it for a day or two. Almost nothing new or useful will be said, and then the frenzy will die down –_until next time. This is a very stupid way of behaving, but you will notice that I am a part of it. No matter what I say about the bombs in Brussels, the fact that I am writing at length about them in a column that appears all over the world, contributes to the delusion that they are not only a nasty event but also an important one. It is the sheer volume of coverage that determines an event’s perceived importance, not what is actually said about it. But if we in the media are compelled to write about an event like the Belgian bombs anyway, what can we truthfully say about it that will not feed the panic? The first thing, after every terrorist attack, is to stress that the media coverage of the attack is its primary purpose, indeed, almost its only purpose. It’s obvious and it’s trite, but if you don’t actually say it, people forget it. Like the health warning on cigarette packets, it should be part of every story on terrorism.

Secondly, we have to put the alleged “threat” of such terrorist attacks into perspective. People rarely do this for themselves, because once events are beyond the range of their daily experience, most people cannot distinguish between what is truly dangerous and what is only dramatic and frightening. It really does help to remind people that terrorism is a statistically insignificant risk, that they are in much greater danger of dying from a fall in the bath than of dying in a terrorist attack, even if that approach conflicts with the journalists’ natural urge to emphasise the importance of whatever they are writing about. And finally, a little dispassionate analysis quickly deflates the notion that terrorism is “an existential threat” (as British prime minister David Cameron once said). For example, the recent terrorist attacks in Europe have been largely confined to French-speaking countries. Muslim immigrants in France and Belgium mostly come from Arab countries, and especially from North Africa, where French is the second language. Radical Islamism is much weaker in the rest of the Muslim world, so Germany (whose Muslims are mostly Turkish) and Britain (where they are mostly of South Asian origin) generate fewer Islamist extremists than the francophone countries, and face fewer terrorist attacks. France’s and Belgium’s Muslim citizens are also less integrated into the wider community. French housing policy has dumped most of the immigrants in high-rise, low-income developments at the edge of the cities, often beyond the end of the metro lines. Unemployed, poorly educated and culturally isolated, their young men are more easily recruited into extremist groups. The point of this sort of analysis is to cut the problem down to size. There is no terrorist army in Belgium, just a bunch of young men making it up as they go along. For example, the Brussels attacks happened four days after the arrest of Salah Abdeslam, the sole survivor of the gang who carried out the attacks on the Bataclan arena and the Stade de France in Paris last November. Back in Brussels after failing to use his suicide vest in the Paris attack, Abdeslam was a psychological wreck, and his Islamist colleagues undoubtedly expected that once in police custody he would sing like a canary. So they decided to launch another attack and go to glory before the police kicked in their doors. Prime Minister Charles Michel issued the usual ritual incantation about Belgians being “determined to defend our freedom,” but Belgium’s freedom is not at risk. Terrorists are not an existential threat. They are a lethal nuisance, but no more than a nuisance.

It’s that time of year again – playoff hockey season Editorial - Chris Malette Pity the community that doesn’t have a hockey team to root for at this time of year. Yes, Belleville, unfortunately that means you, this being the first full season without the beloved OHL Bulls to cheer on. But, it also means fans across a great swath of Prince Edward County, now that the Wellington Dukes have been unceremoniously swept from the OJHL playoffs by the red-hot Trenton Golden Hawks, are moping, as well. True, not all of us cheer for or even watch hockey, but hockey is inarguably engrained in the culture of small-town rural Ontario and never so much is that evident as the buzz at playoff time. Some of the local Quinte Red Devils teams made respectable runs at provincial titles this month, some taking titles in their respective division. This past season, the respected Red Devils organization hosted two OMHA championships, won two OMHA silver medals, and all eight teams qualified for the OMHA playdowns with varying degrees of success. The Minor Atom, Minor Peewee, and Midget teams all finished in first place in the ETA East division. But, it’s the Trenton junior team that seems to have caught the eye of the local sporting community. Even Belleville fans, now bereft of their beloved Bulls, no doubt will be pulling, either quietly or in the stands, for the Golden Hawks to give all of Quinte something to cheer about. The club certainly has the talent, including goalie Daniel Urbani who was awarded the OJHL Top Goaltender Award after leading all goalies in the league with 34 victories, five shutouts and an astounding 1.69 goals against average. Urbani, a 20-year-old native of British Clumbia, has warmed to the Golden Hawks organization, the city of Quinte West and the fans of the region. “Since the first day I got here, just the whole organization, from the ownership to teammates and especially the fans, it’s been great,” Urbani said. Urbani said the tem players have a great relationship, even crafting up t-shirts emblazoned with “The Brotherhood” on them. “It really is like a family around here, I think if

you want to go far and really succeed in hockey, and really in life, you’ve got to have your family with you,” he said. Trenton coach Jerome Dupont heaved a sigh of relief getting past the always-tough Dukes, but knows there’s a pot full of pluck behind the team in its fan base. “It’s tough in games like this because there’s a lot of emotion,” Dupont said of the pressurecooker 1-0 game that saw the Hawks oust the Dukes last week. “Getting used to playing in front of a full house is something relatively new to us so I think we’ll only get better at home.” The G-Hawks will now face off against the Kingston Voyageurs in the North-East Conference Championship series. This is the fourth time in five years that the G-Hawks and Voyageurs have played against each other for the title, with Kingston winning the title after a tough series last year. That’s the other cool thing about this rivalry. There’s no shortage of back stories – including the fact that Urbani played for the Kingston Vees last season – so there’s plenty to get excited about as the series gets under way this week. As we mentioned, Belleville lost its franchise when the deep-pocketed out-of-town owner shopped the team off to Hamilton, where it has failed to draw flies, as they say, and missed the playoffs all together. There’s little joy in Campbellford hockey circles, too, as the storied Rebels Junior C organization is in the throes of trying to regroup after a dismal season and a management shakeup. So it is, then, that these former hockey-mad communities can only sit on the sidelines and look on with envy at the partisans sporting fan jerseys with the golden Sabre jet on the logo. Sure, there are other small-town sports to cheer on – our budding stars in figure skating, the curling rinks that always foster friendly competition between neighbours and visiting rinks and the non-team sports like running and equestrian pursuits. But, at this time of year – and this year, in particular when there is nary a Canadian NHL team in the hunt for the Stanley Cup – it’s all about the playoffs. And that is down to one serious local contender, The Trenton Golden Hawks. Go Hawks Go!

Acting CAO Dan O’Brien said the project, which is supposed to be split 50/50 with CN, could cost upwards of $300,000, although no decision has been made at this point. These numbers are not included in the proposed budget, nor were there any recommendations as to where the funding would come from. Also included in the 2016 budget is $278,268 in settlement costs for former employees. Overall, the first look at the budget shows general government up $300,000 from the 2015 budget, protection services down $139,000, fire services down $73,000, transportation up about $3,000, environment up

about $125,000, recreation down about $ 25,000, facilities down $110,000, library down by $10,000, planning up by $18,000and construction costs down about $325,000. Total 2015 budget expenses totaled $8,959,722.15, with projected costs for 2016 at $8,757,484.26 Although proposed expenses have dropped somewhat, so too have revenues. The 2015 budget numbers were $4,046,075.47, with this year’s totals down to $3,632,889.63. This means the total levy sits at $5.124 million over last year’s budget of $4.913 million. “I’m comfortable we’ll have it done by the end of April,” Mayor Marc

Coombs said. “Staff have done an excellent job in getting all the information to us, including providing us with issue papers.” He said they’re still waiting for final numbers from 2015 so they can compare budget to actuals before approving this year’s increase. “We’re certainly going to aim for around 2.5 per cent at the municipal level, and I’m pretty positive we’ll get there.” Coombs said until he has all the rates from Northumberland County and the province’s education rates, he couldn’t provide a blended tax rate and what it would mean to the average homeowner.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Bill 100 won’t take your land Dear Editor Recently there has been discussion in the media regarding the use of easements by the provincial government to secure trails. The province introduced Bill 100 – the Supporting Trails Act, 2015 – to “improve access to Ontario trails, building a healthier and more prosperous Ontario.” At first, with all the confusing language of government legislation, landowners, especially those who had snowmobile trails across their property, were concerned that they would have no control over their property because of the proposed easements. Michael Coteau, Minister of Tourism, Culture, and Sport, recently stated that “an easement pursuant to Bill 100, if passed, would be voluntary agreement between a landowner and an eligible body or bodies. No property owner would be compelled to provide an easement unless they agreed to do so.” For decades now, snowmobile trails have existed through partnerships between individual landowners and their local snowmobile club utilizing written

agreements. These land use permission agreements adequately define land use parameters, including landowner cancellation authority and notice, and ensure that the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs’ General Liability Insurance protects the landowner. The OFSC and our member organizations do not have any intention of utilizing easements, preferring rather to use the traditional timetested land use agreement process which has and continues to serve landowners and clubs well. All landowners will be asked by their respective snowmobile clubs to sign a new Land Use Permission agreement that states “the landowner/occupier by signing this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is NOT requesting nor granting permission for a registered easement over designated premises.” Please contact your local snowmobile club executive for more details. Control of your land is still yours by law. Margaret Elliott, Director Old Hastings Snow Riders

One of the actors came up with the idea that the old barn should be relocated just behind the house and turned onto a venue for live theatre. According to Ann Goulding, who moved here from Whitby in 1989, the Barn is a hybrid: the original

We also like to mix a mystery or drama into our schedule as well.” The group is constantly looking for new volunteers to get involved in whatever skills they can bring to the table: Set decoration, sourcing props, costume making, make-up, running the canteen, security, etc. They are also looking for a new generation of producers and stage managers.

Brighton - Two new names top the list of income earners in the Municipality of Brighton for 2015. Taking on many of the responsibilities of chief administrative duties since council opted not to welcome CAO Gayle Frost back after medical leave last year, financial director Linda Widdifield has received an increase in pay to bring her onto the Sunshine List for the first time. Widdifield is reported as earning $109,782.18 with taxable benefits of $993.06. Also new to the list is Fire Chief Lloyd Hutchinson with earnings of $102,321.76 and taxable benefits of $992.96. Although CAO Gayle Frost only worked the months of January and February before going off on sick leave in March, and she was turned down when she informed council she would be returning to her post in June, Frost earned $133,942.12 with taxable benefits of $1,030.04 in 2015. Frost had what some council members claimed was an “ironclad contract made to protect her from harassment.” Frost had a five-year contract that was approved by council in 2013 that stated she be employed until her retirement in 2018, and if fired without cause, would continue to receive pay and benefits until he retirement date. Brighton is currently actively involved in hiring a new CAO to replace Frost who was officially let go after negotiations were completed in November.

United Way hits mark It is about doing research and building a stronger community, he said. “The United Way is an impact organization,” said Joan Macklin. Events such as the Day of Caring, where volunteers give time and skills to assist non-profit agencies in the community, make an impact on the community. Recalling some of the more memorable moments of the year, Joan Macklin told a story of how she found a $50 bill while out walking one day. She finally tracked down the woman who dropped it and they chatted about how Ms. Macklin would have donated the money to the United Way, if she had not found the owner. About a week later she received a $50 donation from the same woman for the United Way in her home mailbox. “It made me realize that every single gift matters,” she said. Community partners such as Big Brothers Big Sisters, Community Living West Northumberland, Sounds of the Next Generation and Greenwood Coalition provide programs and services that fall

under United Way’s three main focus areas: All That Kids Can Be, From Poverty to Possibility, and Strong Communities. The wide range of community partners funds sustainable solutions in the areas of greatest needs in Northumberland, said Lynda Kay, United Way Northumberland CEO. “When we combine initiatives, the result is lasting impact,” said Ms. Kay. The next fundraising event is the Toronto Maple Leafs alumni game on April 3 at the Cobourg Community Centre, a partner event with Habitat for Humanity Northumberland.

Warkworth – A gala evening will celebrate the Miikaans/The Percy Portage exhibit at the Ah! Arts and Heritage Centre, a display that includes historic maps and more about a route that many local folks still don’t know is a part of the history of this region. Miikaans is the Ojibway word for trail or path. The Percy Portage was an important route used for centuries by the Mississaugas, Huron and Iroquois First Nations. It also formed the basis of the first major road in the region in the early 19th century for local settlers, and those heading north. Des Conacher, one of the curators on the committee of four that volunteered their time and expertise to put the exhibit together, said, “The historic maps are really the backbone of the exhibit.” The committee includes Clive Russell, co-founder and creative director of the Centre, his wife Sheree Rasmussen and Stewart Richardson.

“Stewart has done an amazing job of collecting maps,” noted Conacher. The Percy Portage was a shortcut for travel from Rice Lake to Lake Ontario, a route which bypassed waterfalls and rapids between Hastings and Meyersburg, an overland route that allowed First Nations people to travel safely to Lake Ontario. Remnants of the route exist today. “One part of it, the Richardson Road where it is curvy and bendy, is part of the original portage,” explained Conacher. “When the water was high in the spring people would have followed Percy Creek and taken it down to Dartford and out to Meyersburg [or the mouth of Salt Creek at Percy Boom],” he added. Conacher hopes local people will stop in to learn more about the history of this area. The historic maps are mounted, and “there’s even a map of the portage on the floor,” said Conacher. As well, the Centre has on display a birch bark canoe on loan from the Canadian Canoe Museum in Peterborough. A video of First Nations

They‘re going head-to-head in the Best New Country Group category with David James, Jo Jo Mason, Leah Daniels and Petric. It has been a meteoric rise for the band with the success of singles like “Our Town” and “Beer Weather” and their major label signing with Sony Music Canada. There has been lots of radio play, on-air interviews and an acoustic tour last summer that included a stop at the Calgary Stampede where Scott and Oliver realized how popular the band’s songs had become. “We were actually quite shocked when we went out west at how well it was received out there,” Scott said. Things are amping up for their song

“Beer Weather”. “This is all new to us. It’s really taking off. It’s really happening,” said Scott. “To see it come together is so great. We are grateful for everything that we get to do.” Three years ago, Oliver and Scott were invited to play in the Havelock Jamboree’s beer tent; two years ago the full band had an early Friday afternoon spot on the Alan Jackson gig and in 2015 Cold Creek County shared the Thursday night stage with The Stampeders, Autumn Hill, Brett Kissel and Ambush.

Rebels feeling optimistic with a new GM in charge Campbellford – A feeling of optimism has returned to the Campbellford Rebels with a new general manager in place whose resume includes operating a highly successful summer hockey program and starting up a Junior C franchise in Apsley. Gord Crowe is “a going concern” with a “rather impressive” resume, said team president Jim Peeling in introducing the founder of the Team Ontario Stingrays and the former owner of the North Kawartha Knights. The Stingrays are “all-star teams” in three age groups – under-16, un-

der-18, and junior – that are put together to play in four elite tournaments in Canada and the United States that attract more than a hundred scouts from all over, Crowe said. The 66-year-old Trent Hills resident started the program 12 years ago “to give kids a chance to be showcased.” The National Collegiate Athletic Association in the US, for example, uses summer tournaments as its “prime recruiting for winter hockey.” The organization boasts on its Facebook page that it has developed and graduated more than 250 Stingrays to the junior, Triple A and

Peeling said Crowe, who joined the team as a director around Christmas, fit the bill to lead the team after a last-place finish in the Empire B Junior C Hockey League. “Right now the Campbellford Rebels have the right man in the right place at the right time to take this organization and ... bring it back,” he said. “He has more connections in the hockey world than Carter‘s got pills. We will have lots of bodies to choose from.” The team can draw players from three counties – Northumberland, Peterborough and Hastings – as well as four imports from any area.

Three proud Canadians speak out on eliminating discrimination

By Ross Lees Belleville’s Dr. Aruna Alexander perhaps articulated the legacy all Canadians should strive for at the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination held at CFB Trenton. In closing her impassioned and insightful talk on Canada’s history of cultural diversity, she said, “Let diversity in Canada construct the best history the world has ever lived.” Organized by the Defence Visible Minority Advisory Group (DVMAG) at 8 Wing/ CFB Trenton, the lunch and learn event at the Officers’ Mess featured three dynamic and interesting speakers - Capt. Isabel Courchesne, a physiotherapy officer with 24 Canadian Forces Health Services, Kamal Khera, Parliamentary Secretary of Health, and Dr. Alexander, a recipient of Ontario’s 2014 Newcomer Champion Award. 8 Wing Commander Col. Colin Keiver regretted that in Canada in 2016 we still had to hold International Days for Elimination of Racial Discrimination and Women’s Days, especially within the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), whose first of three ethical principles is respect the dignity of all persons. “It is at the end of the day all about dignity and respecting dignity and if we fail to do that, we end up having to talk about things like this,” he noted. “As members of the CAF, we go out in the world and we do our work, we are there representing Canadian values and there is no better value in my opinion than that value of inclusiveness and diversity that is the hallmark of Canada around the world. It

is through respect and dignity that we make that work.” Alexander’s history lesson on Canadian diversity should be taught in all Canadian schools. She is a member of the Quinte Chapter of the United Nations Association in Canada, is involved in the Model UN school program and serves as a minister at Bridge Street United Church and other congregations – and she has a better handle on Canadian history than most. Her short, 20-minute talk on the cultural diversity and multiculturalism which is the foundation of Canada was well thought out and originated from an obviously proud Canadian who took her listeners back to their Canadian roots and brought them upto-date in those fascinating 20 minutes. “In celebrating diversity in Canada, I begin with the fact that our aboriginal hoop dancers inform us that their use of hoops is a symbol of the circle of life and this circle was pregnant with diversity during the birth of the nation called Canada,” she began, adding that indigenous peoples helped the early immigrants settle into life in Canada. “If the story of Canadian cultural diversity has been a tale of hardship, and denial, it is also an odyssey of hope and triumph and that is what this day is all about. Today we celebrate our Canadian aboriginal foundations as well as the efforts of early settlers and immigrants to establish themselves and the cold, hard fact of their survival.” Capt. Isabel Courchesne, a physiotherapy officer with 24 Canadian Forces Health Services, had an expe-

rience as a visible minority in an exercise to Mongolia in 2015. Called Exercise CONQUEST, the goal of the cooperative effort was to provide humanitarian assistance and to share best practices as well as enhance inter-operability within the multi-national health services team made up of members from Korea, India, the United States, Mongolia and Canada. Lodged at the Mongolian Armed Forces National Defence university compound where space, electricity and water were options, Courchesne advised her listeners to consider staying at hotels if they ever visited Mongolia. Her first real feeling of all eyes on her was in the cafeteria for breakfast, she recalled, where officer cadets in the Mongolian military are treated considerably differently than Canadian officer cadets. “The first time I entered that cafeteria in the morning, all the eyes turned on me. It was not because I was different, but because the recruits, the officer cadets there are not use to seeing a woman in uniform. The other factor was I was eating completely different food than they were, so I think there was a little bit of envy there. We were eating great food and they were eating bread and some kind of soup all the time, like every meal,” she noted. She told of an incident where people who would begin lining up to see a physiotherapist at 2 a.m. would refuse to see the Mongolian military physiotherapist so they could go to the Canadian. “I gained valuable training and ex- Capt. Isabel Courchesne, a physiotherapy officer with 24 Canadian Forces Health Services, had an Continued on page B15 experience as a visible minority in an exercise to Mongolia in 2015.

The Hastings County Community Safety and Well Being steering committee officially launched the Situation Table at the Belleville Fire Hall recently. Every Wednesday, members from vital organizations in Hastings County are meeting to work together on situations that require rapid interventions to support individuals and families who are in high-risk situations. The purpose of the situational table, under the direction of the Hastings County Community Safety and Well Being Committee, is to improve individual lives and find greater system efficiencies by applying a risk mitigation lens to human service delivery in the community. “By having key agencies in the community meeting weekly to discuss situations that require immediate attention, we can leverage the perspectives, information, talents and resources of multiple agencies at once” said Steve Gatward, Director of Social Services and member of the executive committee. “The development and execution of a community wide and multi-sector strategy will bring about greater efficiency, effectiveness, and improved service connections leading to more positive social outcomes for all human services in Hastings County,” he said. Hastings County is not the first to adopt this method. Situation Tables are being developed across the province and the country. The CSWB Executive Committee looked at several models in the province that have been operational for

over a year such as the Community Mobilization North Bay, Gateway Hub Model. The release of the North Bay Gateway Hub Year 1 Report in December of 2015 indicated “a total of 200 situations were introduced by community agencies with the large majority (82%) approved for further discussion and/or escalation.” “Rather than recreating the concept, the idea was to review how areas developed their Situation Tables and implement the model that we felt would be the best ﬁt for our own community with considerations of rural and urban areas in our catchment areas,” Gatward added. “Consistency and efﬁciency at the table will ensure rapid interventions are taking place and will be key for the success of this model.” In order for members of the Situation Table to complete mandatory training, funds were received through grants from the United Way of Quinte and the Human Services Justice Coordinating Committee. A cohort of about 60 people from agencies ranging from social service to police to education and health completed an e-learning training program to become familiar with the processes at the Situation Table and to be able to support those in a crisis situation. “We were grateful to receive the funding to facilitate the training for participants to be fully engaged with the Situation Table model,” stated Marg Wagner, chair of the situation table.

QHC faces many challenges, hits milestones

By Jack Evans

Challenges just keep piling up for Quinte Health Care, as indicated at its board meeting at Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital in Picton. But there were plenty of signs of achievements for the amalgamated hospital corporation. One was announcement of a new elderly care unit as part of the Belleville hospital â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 30 beds for acute care and alternative

long-term care for the elderly, set to open April 12. Along with that, a team of nurses specializing in elder care has been assigned a special title to reflect the move â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the first such title to be awarded in Canada. QHC officials see this as a sign that the corporation is now considered a leader in elder care in the nation. Still at BGH, improvements in the emergency department have been reported to have re-

duced both wait times for admission and waiting periods to get medical attention significantly. Overall, though, QHC still struggles to meet provincial requirements in some areas on standards, as well as on compiling and filing special studies and reports, including an â&#x20AC;&#x153;overall master plan.â&#x20AC;? This is required by the Ministry of Health before further approval of the proposed new hospital

Annual Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Fair a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;huge successâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; By Jack Evans If you had trouble finding a parking spot around the Sports and Wellness Centre Wednesday, blame it on the Quinte areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing seniors population. The annual Qunite Seniors Fair, sprawled over an entire hockey rink in the complex, drew a steady crowd of many hundreds of people from a radius of about 50 kilometres in a day-long-stream, plus around 100 exhibitors and their staffs for the fourhour event. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Even before the exhibits officially opened, people were lined up dozens deep to register for a free grab bag and a ticket for a light lunch. The exhibits said it all. Most were medically-oriented â&#x20AC;&#x201C; special goods and services, such as hearing, sight, diet and fitness.

at Picton. The plan must demonstrate the use of all four hospitals over a 20-year period to warrant the new construction and must be in place by June of this year. Brad Harrington, director of finance, said QHC is on top of the requirement, about 50 per cent completed after an early start, and is hopeful the hospital can justify its stand of four hospitals and four emergency rooms operating 24-7 for the next 20 years. Meanwhile, the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heavily-used MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machinery is no longer able to keep up the pace, despite the department

There were handymen, new products for safety and comfort for the aged, finance, social activities, service clubs and cultural organizations. Some even provided some musical entertainment in the nearby gymnasium where lunch was being served, especially both male and female barbershop harmony groups , The Sweet Adelines and A Cappella Quinte. Quinte Symphony promoted its coming concerts. There were several workshops for fitness and other topics drawing considerable interest, provincial agencies and politicians. Mayor Taso Christopher was seen touring the displays during the busy day, shown around by Wellness Centre staffer Karen Weichenthal, who organized the fair. Director of Recreation and Culture Mark Fluher summed it up as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a huge success.â&#x20AC;?

having shown to have greatly reduced waiting times for patients in non-emergent cases. An upgrade to the MRI equipment will cost an estimated $1 million. Harrington said the upgrade was approved after staff examined the unit and proclaimed it could be upgraded rather than purchase a new one, at a saving of about $1 million. Harrington added that the new provincial budget has given a small breather to hospitals by allowing an inflation increase of one per cent, the first such increase in four years. He called it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;encouraging.â&#x20AC;? Staff reports also predicted a sharp increase for senior staff

The Good Earth: Some New Big Small Trees

Newspeak has arrived in our subdivisions. (Older folk will recognize the reference to Orwell’s 1984. You youngsters can take a moment to either Google it or ask an older person to look it up in their Funk & Wagnall’s for you.) A spacious yard has been redeﬁned, read reduced, from sufﬁcient area to plant a veggie garden, have a BBQ pit, and a pitch for a bit of footie, down to space for the patio, a tin shed (with lawnmower, snow blower, 4-wheeler, and the front grill from a ’49 Fordor that will eventually become wall art in the man cave.) If veggies are present, they’re likely in a terra cotta pot on the deck. There is room for one large tree which will be planted in the geometric centre so that mature branches will neither encroach upon the neighbour’s air space nor block their share of the sun. I recognise that a titch of cynicism has crept into my perspective; however, the fact remains that our green growing space is shrinking. It doesn’t matter if it is Muskeg Meadows© subdivision on the north/east/south/ edge of town- the one built on the old

swamp- or in the urban core where building footprints tickle the edge of the sidewalks. Fortunately, in the latter location, green rooves are becoming more common, undergoing the transition from a scrubby sedum covering to almost parkland as architects specify interactive living spaces on the tippy-tops of their high-rises. Back in the subdivision, the proud new owners of 1234 Ramblingrosebriarpatch Lane are looking for alternatives to a singular sentinel of either Crimson King maple or paper-bark rich clump. Now’s the time to introduce some positivity into this column by showcasing a few modern alternatives. Here’s a brief introduction to a few “large” shade trees that will ﬁt comfortably into the new paradigm. Redpointe Maple (Acer rubrum ‘Red Frank Jr.’, PP 16769) is a good choice for sites with full sun, alkaline soils, and even a bit of standing water. Zone 5b, this chappy has a life span of almost 80 years and will ﬁll a space 45’ tall x 30’ wide. Classic native red maple leaves (meaning they are green)

turn a deep red in the fall. A desirable form which sports a strong central leader (so the tree grows straight up) with lower branches starting 6’ above the ground. If this is still a titch large, consider a Ruby Sunset™Maple (Acer truncatum x A. platanoides ‘JFS-KW249’), a cosmopolitan cross between Chinese and Norway maples. Zone 4b hardiness broadens the range of this compact (25’ tall x 20’ wide) fellow with its dapper colouring of dark, glossy green summer raiment changing over to a deep red in the fall. For birch lovers, consider the Dakota Pinnacle Birch, Betula platyphylla ‘Fargo’. Attributes include wind resistance, drouth tolerance, accepting of heavy clay soils and sports a bark palette ranging from a young grey to a middle-aged orange-white ﬁnishing at a yellow-white mature colouring. Here’s an upright wind-breaker of 40’ x 12’. Oaks can now be slipped into the new “spacious” yard if any of the following are selected: Crimson Spire™ Oak (White x English) spreads out to

45’ x15 with fall leaf colour reﬂecting its name; Skinny Genes™ Oak is a selection of Crimson Spire with 2 differences- it’s width is a meagre 10’ and the fall colour is yellow; and, perhaps the narrowest, Kindred Spirit® stretches up to 35’ yet stays inside a 6’ space. A cross between Swamp White and the famous English parent, the leaves have slightly silver undersides and persist during most of the winter. Like big brother, Regal Prince (45 x18), Kindred’s fall colour is an undistinguished yellow-brown. Of course, there are many other choices for a smaller space such as top-grafted trees, e.g. weeping mulberry (Morus alba ‘Pendula”) and shrubs pruned into single stemmed standards, e.g. nannyberry (Viburnum lentago) but today’s column was to introduce the new, smaller versions of the big old standards. The economic downturn in the United States slowed down production and curtailed the normal advertising programmes. As a result, our local nurseries have quite a few “new” trees that will easily slip into our estates; be sure to ask the

Dan Clost folks about them when you’re out and about this spring. In case you’re wondering, I didn’t miss the west of town when noting the location of Muskeg Meadows. The land ﬁll is still in use so we’ll have to wait a few years.

Quinte Landlords want smoking tenants to butt out Quinte region landlords have joined the fight against smoking. Fed up with the damage caused by some tenants smoking in their units, members of the Quinte Landlord’s Association invited an expert from the public health unit to a meeting to educate them on how to outlaw smoking in their buildings. Health Promoter Rebecca Mathers-Phillips from the Hastings Prince Edward Public Health gave an hour-long seminar on how to ensure rental buildings are smoke-free. Local landlords learned they have access to free signs, literature, and other resources to let tenants know smoking is not permitted. “Our members have had enough of irresponsible smokers causing significant damage to their rental units through smoking” said association president Robert Gentile. Landlords are concerned that the smoke gets into the floors, carpets, appliances and it takes a lot of work to remove the grime from the walls and ceilings. Also, the clean up bill after a tenant moves out can add up to hundreds of dollars. Going after the tenant

in small claims court is an option, but not always practical for the landlord, which means landlords risk paying out of pocket for tenant negligence. “We’ve warned tenants before, but this time we’re getting serious and will have the smoking ban enforced if we have to,” says Gentile. At the landlords’ request, the health unit has offered to send in uniformed enforcement officers to clamp down on tenants who don’t respect the smoke-free designation. “Our members are prepared to have the officers in their buildings issuing tickets if that’s what it takes” warns Gentile. Gentile says his members respect the rights of their tenants to smoke, just not when it causes damage to their buildings and upsets other tenants. “All we ask is that tenants smoke outside away from doors and windows and clean up their butts,” he said. More information on The Quinte Landlord’s Association can be found at 613-707-3879 or www.quintelandlordsassociation.ca/.

Bay of Quinte communities hope website will help retain immigrants By Stephen Petrick Belleville – If the Quinte area gains more immigrants, the region will broaden its population base and will likely see more entrepreneurs to create jobs and more skilled tradespeople to fill vacant jobs, local mayors and business leader say. With that in mind, officials and elected members from local municipalities gathered at Loyalist College on Wednesday, March 23 to celebrate the launch of a new immigration website to promote the Bay of Quinte region to the country’s newcomers. The website is www.immigration. bayofquinte.ca . It tells people what it’s like to “live, work, play and learn” in the area. It also contains videos of interviews with several new Canadians who’ve moved to and have come to love the region. “Our goal with this project was to create an Immigration Portal that would share information about our region but also help tell the unique and wonderful story of the Bay of Quinte region to new Canadians looking for a place to call home,” said Aaron Bell, a communications specialist hired Aaron Bell, of Aaron Bell Creative Communications, speaks at a launch event for a new immigration portal, immigration.bay- to create the site. “We were able to capture several unique stories about ofquinte.ca . Bell created the site, working with Bay of Quinte Living. Photo by Stephen Petrick

people from across the world that have made our community their new home and we are sharing those stories to encourage other people to see the wonderful opportunities that we have in our community.” Bay of Quinte Living council was a partner in the project. Its president, Jon VanHuizen, was excited to be part of the launch, as he feels the portal will tell people that there are plenty of opportunities to grow businesses in the region. “We have a region that’s a hidden gem,” he said to an audience in Alumni Hall that included Belleville Mayor Taso Christopher, Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison and Prince Edward County Mayor Robert Quaiff. “I’m extremely happy with this. It’s not only the best portal in the province, it’s our first.” Bell explained that the goal was to create a site that was user-friendly and easy to navigate. The main sections of the website were translated so pages also appear in French, Spanish, German, Mandarin and Korean. Former President of the Bay of Quinte Tourism Council Ryan Williams also spoke at the event, and addressed one of the reasons it’s important to embrace immigration. “We’re a nation of immigrants, a mosaic of different cultures,” he said. He also said efforts to promote immigration are part of a greater business strategy for the region. By 2030, 100 per cent of the region’s population growth is expected to come from immigration, he said.

soak up the atmosphere and get acquainted with our surroundings. Yet another bonus that we had was that one of our group had a connection with one of the cheerleaders, so we were able to leave our suite and go down and meet some of these ladies. The three men in our group, of course, each decided to get a photo taken with these cheerleaders. We then discovered that these ‘photo ops’ were a very important part of their public relations, so it was an opportunity that was available to many of the fans in attendance, not just us. As we enjoyed watching the game from our executive suite, I noticed that the TV cameras were set up just to our right, so we obviously had a great view of the court from our balcony.

Vern was an avid angler, golfer, and curler, spending most of his leisure time at his summer home near Bancroft, Ontario. Vern was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He will be dearly missed. Friends are invited to call at the MacCoubrey Funeral Home, 11 King St.,W., Colborne on Wednesday from 2-4 and 7-9.

Kiwanians learn value of immigration By Jack Evans The 25,000 Syrian refugees Canada has taken in is a wonderful effort, Orlando Farro told the Kiwanis Club of Belleville, but he noted the project has involved some major errors. Still, despite the flaws in the plan, the main beneficiary of the immigration plan is Canadian society as a whole, he contended. “Refugees are the future of Canada,” he proclaimed,

citing them as the answer to such problems as an aging population and even sagging membership in service clubs as an example. As executive director of Quinte United Immigrant Services, which comprises an area from Colborne to Napanee and Bancroft to Picton, he said the several recent Syrian families to this area have all been privately sponsored by individuals and church groups and are doing well.

Placing the bulk of the new Syrian refugees in large urban centres, in fact, is one of the big mistakes the government made. He cited housing many families in Vancouver and Toronto in hotels with no access to schools or social interaction with their new fellow citizens as “misspent funds.” The idea was that large cities would have more housing, but it is dramatically more expensive and there are no jobs for the newcomers.

The Belleville area, with an unemployment rate of just over five per cent, which compares favourably with many other cities, has seen local employers enthusiastic about hiring the newcomers. There are also strong indications that at least one or two major new employers will be arriving in the area who are also counting on new immigrants as a source of affordable labour. Farro also outlined a scheme he is developing to promote coop farms for the many new immigrants who have agricultural backgrounds but no capital to buy farms. So he sees the prospects for the several Syrian families housed and settled in small communities throughout the Quinte area as having excellent prospects for the future. Asked about cultural divisions that might result, Farro said there are significant problems associated with that, “but it will only last for the first generation,” he said. “The next generation will be like ordinary Canadians.” Suggesting that service clubs and other organizations should “open up” to the new wave of

immigrants, he agreed that it per person for a special banwould require some accommo- quet which marks the 100th andation of the Islamic faith in or- niversary of Kiwanis Internaganizations which have strong tional and the 93rd year of the Christian traditions, perhaps Kiwanis Club of Belleville.

Three proud Canadians speak out

It’s just going to make us more professional and people will listen to us.” Kamal Khera, Parliamentary Secretary of Health and a first generation Canadian, thanked the CAF members for their service and sacrifices to keep the Canadian system strong and its citizens out of harm’s way. “The goal of the International Day of Elimination of Racial Discrimination Dr. Aruna Alexander. Photo by Ross Lees is to create awareness and to renew our commitment to equality and fair treatment for all of human kind,” she said. “This commitment calls for action internationally, nationally and at a local level, and in communities such as the Canadian Forces Base here in Trenton.” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, she said, has been quoted many times saying, “A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian.” “There’s always more that can be done to be more inclusive and to be more considerate to individuals of different cultures and religions in Kamal Khera, Parliamentary Secretary of Health and a first generation Ca- our military.

By Jack Evans Aboriginal issues occupied much of the March meeting for the Highland Shores Children’s Aid Society. The agency’s coverage areas now takes in two major First Nations territories – Alderville north of Cobourg and Tyendinaga near Belleville - and the CAS has been developing closer relations with those two communities in recent years. Valentines Day has now taken on a significant new meaning as the First Nations “Have a Heart Day” held on Feb. 10 uses Valentine themes, including paper hearts with messages of support for aboriginal children signed and sent to the prime minister’s office. Nora Sawyer, of Aldlerville First Nation is appointee to the Highland Shores Board and also a member of the board’s Aboriginal Advisory Committee, speaking via Skype from Cobourg, related how successful the day was for that group. She also reported on other board members attending a simulated “smudge session” recently to acquire knowledge about native customs, including how varied they can be between the Ojibway at Alderville and the Mohawks at Tyendinaga. Even the northern Ojibway customs are different from the southern Ojibway, she said. She encouraged more

board members and staff to get more involved with the native communities. The Have a Heart Day at Tyendinaga received some news coverage, locally, with a photo and short story recently, the board noted. Chairman Michael McLeod explained that Have a Heart Day “is meant to bring together caring Canadians to help ensure that First Nations children have access to the services they need to grow up safely at home, get a good education, be healthy and be proud of who they are.” The meeting also enthused over a report from its CAS Foundation noting a “record” amount in excess of $130,000, was raised at its recent annual gala on March 5. It was decided that most of the money would be earmarked for the agency’s “Playing for Keeps” program, which encourages children in care in all aspects of development, including music and the arts, not just sports. Another fundraiser coming up on May 26 is a golf benefit event at Black Bear Ridge. The board’s next meeting will be held in Bancroft to allow all members to become more familiar with some special problems in the northern area and also to tour the new Bancroft Mineral Museum housed in the old train station.
