News - Brighton – The Municipality of Brighton is once again a pioneer in the field of wastewater treatment technologies in Ontario. The first time was in 1999, when it took some convincing for Ministry of Environment (MOE) officials to give the go-ahead for the local constructed wetland project, designed to increase the capacity of wastewater system using Mother Nature as a treatment technology. Now, there are more than

1,000 similar working lagoons across the province. This time out, MOE has sanctioned a pilot project to test the use of “PooGloos” at the wastewater treatment facility on County Road 64. The igloo-shaped devices, also called BioDomes, were developed with small municipalities in mind, offering the ability to enhance the performance of a wastewater lagoon treatment system at a fraction of the cost of mechanical plants and still maintain compliance.

Once wastewater supervisor Keith Lee heard about the new technology, it took him about 15 hours of online research to track it down. “I thought it was too good to be true,” he said. “I was trying to ﬁnd something that would treat ammonia because it’s the only issue we’ve got.” And this time, it didn’t take much convincing to get MOE on board.

News – Brighton – The year 2013 and early 2014 have been a busy time for the Guardians of Presqu’ile Bay (GPB). Our membership increased to 11, including a skilled graphic artist and members with aquatic sampling experience. We have drafted a constitution and applied for federal non-profit status. We submitted an application for a Grant-in-Aid to Brighton Municipality, which was successful. Our website is under construction. The incomplete version is at http:// guardiansofpresquilebay.ca/ . At three times during the 2013 open water season, the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) conducted sampling at 11 locations on Presqu’ile Bay measuring water chemistry and biological parameters (including fecal coliform counts). GPB members sampled once, in mid-September, for bottom organisms and water clarity. We did not do water chemistry because we lacked the necessary equipment then. We have it now. The MOE 2013 water samples from Presqu’ile Bay have not yet been analyzed because Lake Erie samples went to the front of the queue. MOE laboratory testing is much like triage at a hospital – the more severely ill go to the head of the line. We have assurance from MOE that our samples will be processed and the results made available to us ASAP. It should be noted that MOE never committed to continuing the sampling into 2014 and beyond. It is important that it continues, especially since the oil and grit separators have not yet been installed at storm water runoffs. They were to have been installed in Summer 2013, based on what was said at a meeting of MOE, GPB, and Brighton municipal councillors and staff on May 14 2013. GPB will continue the sampling. We have made arrangements with Trent University’s Environmental and Resource Studies Program for continued use of their sampling equipment. We will

supplement this equipment with our own, purchased using Grant-in-Aid funding from Brighton Municipality. By the way, we have learned that the Trent U. environmental people have been doing monthly water chemistry sampling and analysis at inflows and outflows of waste water treatment plants in this region. The data for the Brighton WWTP will be made available to us. Parameters to be estimated in 2014 will be the same as MOE’s in 2013. Presqu’ile Bay water is well-mixed due to wind and its shallow depth, so there is little difference in water quality at different depths and locations in the open Bay. The number of sampling locations can thus be reduced – perhaps to 5 or 6. All are at 2013 MOE locations. These will include the middle-of-the-Bay “Index Station” (for which there are historical data) and several near shore stations targeted at particular inlets, storm water or waste water inputs, and in the entrance to the Murray Canal.. A field kit will be used for water chemistry measurements, which will provide immediate results for nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus. Thus laboratory processing delays will no longer be an issue. The field kit was purchased by the Trent University environmental program primarily for GPB use. For the spring (May) 2014 sampling, some of the Trent people will join us, and they plan to deploy a new technique. “Passive samplers” will be located at the 11 MOE locations to detect artificial sweetener molecules which are an indicator of “human source” effluent. Because of the unexpected delay in getting the results of the 2013 MOE sampling, the “Presqu’ile Bay Data Analysis and Interpretation Workshop” planned for Trent University has been postponed again, to late August at the earliest. In addition to attendees such as MOE staff, Trent U. faculty and graduate students, we would invite any interested Brighton municipal staff, councillors, and seriously interested Brighton residents to attend.

Brighton – It’s been nearly four years marked by contention presiding over a divided council, but Mayor Mark Walas is eager to remain at the helm for another term. He followed through on a vow he made earlier this year to run again by filing his nomination papers last Thursday, all the while sounding upbeat about

Brighton’s future. “It is just a fabulous place to live,” he said, and “it has been my honour to represent the municipality.” Walas said he has “learned an awful lot” his first term in office. “It’s been a tremendous learning curve” and the experience he gained and the support he’s received in phone calls, letters and Continued on page 3

Poo-Gloos could be the answer to wastewater woes Wastewater ammonia made headlines in 2012, when ministry officials issued an order to ensure the municipality was following an action plan to reduce the levels in the sewage treatment lagoon. “When they saw the information, they wanted it up and running,” Lee said. “About three or four weeks after they were installed, we saw a difference between what was coming in and what was going out. And the numbers started climbing.” Halfway through a one-year trial, Lee is impressed with the results and said he’s getting inquiries from municipalities from across the province. According to the manufacturer, Wastewater Compliance Systems, based in Utah, Poo-Gloos “use a thriving bacterial film to consume pollutants. Each unit consists of a set of four progressively smaller plastic domes

nested within each other like Russian nesting dolls and filled with plastic packing to provide a large surface area for bacterial growth. Rings of tubes sit at the base and bubble air up through the cavities between domes. The air exits a hole in the top of each dome. As air moves through the dome, it draws water from the bottom of the lagoon up through the dome and out the top.” One Poo-Gloo creates 260 square metres of surface area for bacterial growth while taking up only 2.6 square metres of space on the bottom of a lagoon. The combination of large surface area, aeration, constant mixing and a dark environment that limits algae growth make the units capable of consuming pollutants at rates comparable with mechanical plants. And, the operating expenses are a fraction of those at a mechanical plant, using the same amount of electricity as a 75-watt bulb, and requiring little

maintenance. “I find it fascinating as to how simple the product is, how economical it is to run and the end result in treating wastewater,” Lee said. “Before winter started, we were up to 80 per cent ammonia removal. It’s doing exactly what it’s supposed to do.” In-house data shows ammonia reduction has averaged 43 per cent per month since October. “One of the pluses is it works all year round,” says Lee. Engineers say the Brighton system will need 156 PooGloos installed for the local facility. But the money to finance the project is already in the municipal coffers from a wastewater reserve fund.

“If municipal council puts a new wastewater treatment plant or not, we’ll still have to look after our ammonia levels,” said acting environmental services manager Bim McFall. “The ministry standards are very strict.” Lee said a team of Environment Canada researchers came to Brighton last year to test biosolids from the wastewater lagoon. “They’re finding that lagoons treat pharmaceuticals better than wastewater treatment plants,” he said.

Studies are proving igloo-shaped, pollution-eating devices nicknamed “Poo-Gloos” can clean up sewage just as effectively as multimillion-dollar treatment facilities. Photo: Courtesy of Wastewater Compliance Systems

“words of encouragement” led him to seek re-election. “The issues we’re facing are not unlike that of any community,” he said, pointing to infrastructure deficits that need to be addressed, but he preferred to focus on “far more positive things,” such as “completion of the industrial park (and) business plans that have been brought forward by our economic development department.” The mayor’s leadership has come under fire by other members of council and he was the subject of an investigation by Integrity Commissioner Nigel Bellchamber who determined Walas had “intentionally contravened” council’s Code of Conduct on three occasions. A subcommittee of council will recommend next month what disciplinary action should be taken. The maximum penalty under the provincial Municipal Act is a reprimand or the loss of up to 90 days’ pay. “I will respect the decision of council,” Walas said, but he’s looking forward to an even bigger decision, one that will be made in October, when voters go the polls. “I have always been committed to work with people who are committed to work together,” he said. Council is a team and for it to succeed “all members of the team have to be willing to work together and I think that’s something we’ve struggled with over this term ... The community will make the decisions going forward on who represents (it) as a council and I look forward to that.” He “didn’t elected on (maintaining the) status quo,” Walas said. “I came here to ask questions ... to try to make changes where necessary, and we’re going to continue to do that.” He thanked councillors John Martinello and Mary Tadman for their support. They “have been strong supporters of mine and have asked a lot of tough questions. I know certain members of council and staff have not been appreciative of some of the questions that have been asked but I believe they are necessary.” Walas said there are folks in the community as well who “are just wanting more answers to their questions.”

Branding and marketing Brighton continues By Ray Yurkowski

News – Brighton – At their regular meeting last week, the Brighton Economic Development Committee (BEDC) heard more about municipal branding and regional thinking. While ideas and opportunities for the Brighton brand are being explored, the project is still being kept under wraps, but municipal economic development manager Elisha Purchase did summarize one of the early stakeholder meetings. “I’ve really enjoyed working with the Tenzing group on this project,” she told the committee. “They’ve come in and given us a real picture of what we have, who we are and who we’re not.

“I know that’s sometimes hard to hear from external people who are not involved in the community but I think it’s important if we’re going to brand ourselves successfully and be able to execute some of the things we’re talking about. They’ve provided a summary, painting a picture as to what they believe our assets are. And if you look externally at some of our competitors, we really can’t put our mark on some of the things we thought we could.” Purchase points to the local waterfront, saying, “It certainly is an asset to have but is it something we should be promoting as a summer attraction? Probably not, because there are areas outside of

About 50 local business leaders attended an introductory meeting last week at the community centre to hear details about how a collaborative marketing campaign could increase Brighton’s regional awareness. “The response was very positive,” said municipal economic development manager Elisha Purchase, who led the session.

The Municipality of Brighton invites applications from members of the public who are interested in serving as a municipal representative on the Quinte Heath Care Advisory Council. To apply you must be a resident of Brighton. We are seeking interested people from the Brighton community to serve on the following:

Brighton that have a better waterfront than we do.” Even the perception of having “a quaint downtown” didn’t stand the test of being enough of a focal point to attract visitors. “The consultants recognized some great stores here but they’re not enough of an asset to anchor the program,” she explained, in an interview after the meeting. “If you’re attracting somebody here for a day trip, yes, we have great places to shop but would it fill their day? We need to give them other things to do.” Consultants are now working on narrowing the focus to a few primary ideas including small techbased start-ups and some of the high-speed Internet infrastructure needed to attract those entrepreneurs as well as an emphasis on the arts and creative economy. Once a second report is delivered, a public meeting will be held in April for community input. Committee chairperson Councillor Craig Kerr also gave high marks to a Bay of Quinte strategic

planning session - a roundtable discussion including officials from Brighton, Quinte West, Belleville and Prince Edward County - “where there is a real awakening of the need for regional development and collaboration.” “It breaks down the silos,” he said. “We cannot develop Brighton as a community by looking within our own borders. It isn’t going to work. “We are part of the Quinte region, regardless of where the political boundaries are. Being a proponent of the Quinte economic region, I am most enthusiastic about the future prospects for economic development in this area and for Brighton in particular.” A day after the BEDC meeting, Purchase led an introductory meeting for local business leaders to hear details about a Brighton-wide collaborative marketing campaign. “The intent is to have the message for the marketing campaign compliment the new brand,” she said.

News – Quinte West – Mayor John Williams recently presented a certificate to the Canadian Federation of University Women, Belleville District, recognizing its 75th anniversary in April. On hand to accept the certificate were president Lenore Begley, past president Cathy Warren, vicepresident Katrina Cross, Carol Sayeau, chair of the 75th anniversary committee, and Margaret Briscoe. “We meet the third Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. at St. Thomas church in Belleville,” Begley said. “We advocate for women.”

The group, which directs scholarships for women continuing in education, has 150 members. They organize activities, fund-raisers, garden tours, forums and family concerts. “We raised $16,000 last year for scholarships,” Begley said. She noted membership is not limited to women who have been to university but includes professional women, or anyone who advocate for women and political awareness.

that is offered. If so, this is a retrograde step and should be rejected for the following reasons. First, in regards to farming, a single lane bridge would prevent, impede or complicate the movement and use of wide equipment such as fertilizer applicators some of which have a width which exceeds the nominal width of a single lane bridge. Most of the land adjacent to County Road 64 is farmland. The same restrictions would apply to golf courses. Secondly, Prince Edward County (PEC) is essentially an island. Access from Brighton and Trenton is via high-

ways #30/County Road 64 or #33. Both highways cross the Murray Canal on swing bridges, one in the Municipality of Brighton and the other in Quinte West. The eastern canal bridge in Quinte West was recently replaced and has two lanes. I’ll ask a rhetorical question. If you were a commercial truck driver, a recreational camper driver towing a large trailer with a car full of impatient children, a beachbound sun worshiper, a wine aﬁcionado or simply a local resident driving to or from work, what type of bridge would you like to encounter?

An anniversary to remember Dear Editor, April 9 will mark the 97th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge – one of the greatest battles in Canadian history. With that in mind I am sure that the following information will be of some interest to those among your readers who are familiar with the ongoing media coverage of a number of veterans issues. “As historic background, when Canadians prepared for the Battle of Vimy Ridge in 1917 they were visited by the then Prime Minister Sir Robert Borden, who offered the following commitment. “You can go into action feeling assured of this, that you need to have no fear that the government and the country will fail to show just appreciation of your service to the country in what you are about to do and what you have already done. The Government and the country will consider it their first duty to prove to the returned men its just and due appreciation of the inestimable value of the services rendered to the county and the Empire, that no man, whether he goes back or whether he remains in Flanders, will have cause to reproach the Government for having broken faith when the men who have won and the men who have died.” Lest We Forget Phil Etter CCP, Director-Ontario (Eastern Region) Canadian Merchant Navy Veterans Association

I can say with certainty that a bridge with two lanes would be my choice. Consider the choices that someone from the “Big Smoke” would have to make driving through the normally congested 401 eastbound summer traffic with a destination in PEC. Option one, take Highway #30/County Road 64 to the single-lane, light-controlled swing bridge over the Murray Canal and risk a possible 20 minute traffic delay or take the Wooler Road south off 401 Hwy to Highway #33 and take a chance that an open bridge (boat traffic) might slow you down. Exiting the 401 at Wooler Road would be the rational choice for a PEC destination for westbound 401 traffic as well. I can foresee that all eastbound traffic with a PEC destination will drive an extra few minutes to exit the 401 at Wooler Road to avoid the single lane bridge delay, thus bypassing Brighton entirely. This would not only result in more severe traffic delays on the Wooler Road/ Highway #33 route and the eastern Mur-

ray Canal swing bridge, but also have an impact on Brighton businesses that service PEC bound tourists as well as local tourist visitors. County Road 64 is a busy roadway, particularly in the summer. Delays will be long and frustrating. If the single lane option is selected, I hope it can be supported and substantiated by current traffic studies. In recent years, traffic to Prince Edward County has increased significantly with the huge growth in the wine industry, camping, cycling, water-based recreation and growth in the numbers of both cottages and year round residences. Why should the farming community, businesses and residents of Brighton get any less consideration than did those of Quinte West, considering the Carrying Place Bridge cost approximately $10 million, ten years ago. The allocated 4.6 million inflation ravaged dollars may not be enough to replace the bridge on County Road 64. Roger McMurray, Brighton

OPINION

Connected to your community

Climate Change: Documenting the obvious Editorial - If you want to go on eating regularly in a rapidly warming world, then live in a place that’s either high in latitude or high in altitude. Alternatively, be rich, because the rich never starve. But otherwise, prepare to be hungry. That’s the real message of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s report on the impact of warming on human beings, released this week: the main impact is on the food Gwynne Dyer supply. Of course, everybody who was paying attention has already known that for years, including the scientists. It’s just that scientists are professionally cautious, and will not say anything that they cannot prove beyond any shadow of a doubt. But the World Bank, for example, has long known approximately how much food production every major country will lose when the average global temperature is 2 degrees C higher. At least seven years ago it gave contracts to think tanks in every major capital to answer precisely that question. What the think tanks told the World Bank was that India will lose 25 percent of its food production. China, I have been told by somebody who saw the report from the Beijing think tank, will lose a catastrophic 38 percent. But these results have never been published, because the governments concerned did not want such alarming numbers out in public and were able to restrain the World Bank from releasing them. So, too, for example, the armed forces of many countries have been incorporating predictions of this sort into their scenarios of the future for at least five years. The Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency in the United States and the British armed forces have been doing it openly, and I have seen strong indications that the Russian, Indian, Pakistani, Chinese and Japanese armed forces are also doing so. When you look at the scenarios in detail, they do not just predict serious food shortages in most tropical and subtropical countries (which account for about 70 percent of the world’s population). They predict waves of refugees fleeing

from these countries, a proliferation of failed states in the subtropics, and even inter-state wars between countries that must share the same river system when there’s not enough water to go around. That’s still farther than the IPCC is prepared to go, but to the military it’s as obvious as the nose on your face. As for what will happen to crop yields by 2050, assuming an average global temperature 3 degrees C higher by then, you have to go elsewhere for information. The military don’t plan that far ahead. But the World Resources Institute published a map recently that estimated the losses country by country by 2050, and according to the WRI’s calculations they are really bad by then. Crop yields are down everywhere in the Middle East and the Mediterranean countries. In Morocco, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, they are down by 50 percent. All of Africa is down except Lesotho, Rwanda and Kenya, which are all or mostly above 1,000 metres in altitude. Food production is down in almost all of South America except Chile, also very high, where it is up. Crop yields in North America are down too, except in Canada and a few US states right along the Canadian border. High latitude is even better than high altitude. In Europe and Asia, latitude is decisive. Countries far away from the equator will still be doing well; countries even a bit closer to the equator get hammered. Russia, Scandinavia, Germany and Poland will be producing more food than ever, but southern Europe including the Balkans and even France and Ukraine will have lost production. India, China, and all of South-East Asia will be sharply down, as will Australia – but Japan will be only a bit down and New Zealand will be sharply up. It pays to be an island, too. But this is not a “mixed” result, in the sense that it all works out about even. The total population of all the countries where food production will be stable or higher in 2050 will be less than half a billion. At least eight-and-a-half or nine billion will live in countries where food production has fallen, sometimes very steeply. It will be a very hungry world.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Criticism of Green Energy Act was unfair Dear Editor Re: Another black mark added to Liberal legacy (March 20, 2014) I wish to respond to the following statement made by Rolly Ethier, “This (passage of the Green Energy Act) of course has resulted in doubling your energy costs from Hydro One.” According to the Hydro One website, with the latest rates (Jan. 7, 2014) in effect, the “Typical medium density residential customer using 800 kWh/month” bill is broken down as follows: • 42 per cent of the bill is to pay for generation (over 300 firms such as OPG, Bruce Power, Huron Wind, etc.) and • 58 per cent of the bill is for delivery, HST, debt retirement and regulatory changes. In other words, 42 per cent of our every dollar billed and paid goes to generate the power from all sources such as nuclear, hydro, thermal, wind and solar. Of all the money paid to all the generators within the province of Ontario, the “Green Energy Act” generators received 10.9 per cent (www.brucepower.com/energy-calculator). Only 10.9 per cent of the 42 per cent portion of the bill that gets paid to all generators goes to “Green Energy Act” generators. To simplify the above, out of every $100 paid on a “typical medium-density residential customer using 800 kWH/month” account, $4.58 is paid to “Green Energy Act” generators. That is 4.58 per cent of the total portion of the current

“typical” hydro bill. Using inflammatory rhetoric such as “This (passage of the Green Energy Act) of course, has resulted in doubling your energy costs from Hydro One” only whitewashes a complex set of pressures on cost. Some of the major pressures on cost are: • the fact that all energy costs continue to rise now that “true costs” are no longer being “externalized” • the distribution network, which has suffered from decades of “an infrastructure deficit” is now being updated and • the standard costs involving the production of nuclear power are also finally being addressed. If the Green Energy Act” generators did not exist, for every $100 currently paid on a hydro bill, one would receive $4.58 back …. PRIOR to what it would cost to make up the shortfall in production that those “Green Energy Act” producers did provide to the grid. In 2013, 4.2 per cent of all power produced was produced by “Green Energy Act” generators, costing customers 4.6 per cent of their total bill. I would suggest, prior to pronouncing what is “doubling” energy costs, that one employ a closer inspection of standard nuclear power costs and distribution network rehabilitation costs. R.M.

Big business still needs to learn a big lesson By John Campbell Editorial - It’s getting so you can’t trust big business. More than ever. Consider the following: Toyota recently agreed to pay $1.2 billion for misleading consumers about problems with sticking gas pedals that caused its vehicles to accelerate unexpectedly. The unintended acceleration was blamed for the death of a family of four five years ago in San Diego when their Lexus sped up without warning and crashed. The Japanese company tried to limit the damage to its reputation by not making a full safety recall and, said a FBI assistant director, even “continued to manufacture new cars with the same parts they knew were deadly.” Toyota still faces a criminal charge for what it did but the United States government deferred prosecution for three years when the car maker agreed to submit to monitoring over that period. Toyota is not the only auto manufacturer to land in hot water for decision-making seemingly more concerned with protecting the bottom line than the lives of the people who buy its products. General Motors will have to deal with a slew of class-action lawsuits now after it announced last month that ignition switches in some of its older models need to be fixed and that it was recalling more than 1.6 million vehicles. That’s not the troubling part; it’s the length of time it took for GM to acknowledge there was a problem. The company admitted it knew at least 11 years ago there was an issue but waited until last month to recall the cars with the faulty ignition switch – the same piece of equipment said to have been responsible for at least a dozen fatal crashes. When GM’s new chief executive, Mary Barra, met with reporters she apologized for the company not having acted sooner. “I am very sorry for the loss of life that occurred, and we will take every step to make sure this never happens again,” she said. GM will also conduct its own investigation into how all this came to pass. How is it possible that a corporation with as many resources and as long a history as GM could have allowed this sort of thing to happen? Barra said no one at GM has been dismissed or disciplined because of the delay in making the recall but someone needs to be held to account. That this might not come to pass is what is so baffling for blunders of this magnitude, where decisions are made at corporate levels that adversely affect so many people, even costing them their lives in the worst instances, and the individuals responsible too often do not pay the price. Look no further than the financial meltdown that occurred several years ago when bankers and financiers let greed get the better of them and took high-stake risks with other people’s money. Not surprisingly, their shady schemes backfired and triggered a recession, the effects of which continue to this day. People lost their homes, jobs, and investments and the economy still hasn’t recovered, despite billions of dollars in bailouts by governments. But what of the deal-makers, the money men at fault for people’s lives being ruined and futures shattered? None have been charged for white collar crimes that stagger the imagination in their enormity. Although no slaughter took place, their actions constituted a crime against humanity in that they cared so little about the consequences their behaviour would have on society as a whole. The immense harm that they’ve done cannot be understated, nor the anger and frustration that many rightfully feel because justice hasn’t been served. Although the reputations of Toyota and GM were damaged by recent events, they do make good products or they wouldn’t have survived as long as they have. What led them astray are the same forces that beset other global conglomerates, a mindset and ethos that attach too much importance to the making of profits and not enough to exercising a social conscience. Such thinking would exert less influence in big business if the culprits knowingly making decisions to the detriment of society and in violation of laws were made to pay for their misdeeds. The prospect of prison terms made real by governments committed to vigorously pursuing miscreants would do wonders for the promotion of business ethics by injecting a welcome dose of empathy and regard for others in the boardrooms of the nation. Even then, for many, the guiding principle would remain self-interest – staying out of jail – but no matter. If the objective then becomes continuing to enjoy personal freedom while abiding by the laws of the land and not accruing enormous wealth at all costs, why that would have to be seen as a good thing.

THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY AT 11:00AM Brighton Independent - Thursday, April 3, 2014 7

Lifestyles - I like to take the time on the weekends to read something light while slowly eating breakfast. It could be the morning paper, the milk carton, or even the cereal box. When in a restaurant I’ll even take the time to read the advertising on the place mat; my thoughts on one of which I want to share with you this week. My favourite restaurant for breakfast is located on a hill beside the 401 just outside of town. It is a quaint little place, full of friendly people and staffed by a bunch of really nice servers. The only thing that

$ bothers me a little bit about the place is that their placemats are sponsored by the local septic tank cleaning company. However, since I’m old enough to remember the days of the honey wagon and the little house behind the house, it doesn’t bother me too too much. In fact, I’ve always found the people in the honey wagon business have particularly good senses of humour. The next time you see, or smell, one of their trucks drive by, check to see if they have a slogan painted somewhere on the truck. Most of them do.

Some slogans I’ve seen and liked are, “We’re #1 in the #2 business”, or “Got Poop?” I particularly liked, “You think your job sucks”, “A flush beats a full house.”, “Another load of political promises,” or, “Yesterday’s meals on wheels”. Then there was “Your honey is our money.”, “We haul milk on the weekends”, and “Your waste is our bread and butter”. Finally, “Thanks for flushing our business down the drain”, “You dump it, we pump it”, and “Satisfaction guaranteed or 110% of your product back”. Anyway, getting back to my story, when

You gotta love the humour in the honey wagon business I was paying the bill as I was leaving the restaurant a couple of weeks ago, I made a lame comment about how glad I was that there was no “Scratch & Sniff” square on the placemats to Penny, my favorite server. She smiled, got a twinkle in her eye, and made no further comment. This Sunday morning, the placemats were replaced with a new version. I don’t know if it was because technically spring has finally arrived after our long nasty winter, or because Penny too, has a good sense of humour, but there was a colourful change. The placemats had the

same sponsor and same text, but now there is a colourful row of flowers across the bottom.. With a big smile on her face, and the same twinkle in her eye, Penny explained, “The honey-man also dabbles in the fertilizer business.”

The Sound of Music at ENSS four weeks away music and a monitor, which will be broadcasting a closed-circuit feed of the action on stage. Then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to her to make sure the band is in sync. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening on stage but the kids on stage wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to see me,â&#x20AC;? she explained. A rehearsal last weekend marked the ďŹ rst time the band and actors were together in the same room.

The pit band for the ENSS presentation of The Sound of Music will be completely hidden from the audience during the show. They are, from the left, (front) Samantha Greenwood, Karl Miller, music director Lynda Tonkin, Chelsea Hickey, and Shannyn Bald; (back) Evan Damphousse, Jeff Girdlestone, Jennie Smit, Bruce Tonkin, Sera Lee, Liam Gysbers, Caleb DeVries and Liam Heffernan.

Entertainment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Brighton â&#x20AC;&#x201C; When East Northumberland Secondary School (ENSS) stages a musical, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just another high school production. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tradition of high-quality shows and something audiences have come to expect. For music director Lynda Tonkin, the songs of The Sound of Music has, so far, been a seven-month project. It started as the new school year began in September; ďŹ rst teaching the songs to the actors, then leading the band. A lot of time has been spent teaching the actors playing nuns how to sing in harmony a cappella â&#x20AC;&#x201C; without

instrumental accompaniment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been busy,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been fun.â&#x20AC;? For the musicians, as important as learning the songs is the timing to complement the actorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; movements on stage. And to add to the challenge, the live 13-piece pit band will be hidden from the audience, housed backstage behind the set. Tonkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sheet music is marked by almost as many memos as notes for the instruments. During performances, positioned behind the two-story Von Trapp mansion, Tonkin will be armed with a baton, the

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the ďŹ rst time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever done it this way,â&#x20AC;? says Tonkin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done four other musicals at my previous school (Cobourg District Collegiate Institute East) and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been on the ďŹ&#x201A;oor, so this is deďŹ nitely different.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all a matter of tempo, she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;in between songs and making sure thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough music for the scene changes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a matter of making everything ďŹ t.â&#x20AC;?

The Sound of Music at ENSS is slated for six performances over two consecutive weekends: May 1, 2 and 3 and May 8, 9 and 10. Tickets are $15 each and on sale now at the school, downtown Brighton at Rock, Paper, Scissors and The Shoe Store, Downeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pharmacy in Colborne, and Bruinix Jewellers in Trenton.

Yes Mr. Groves, my mind is intact

Dear Editor, Without wishing to get into a battle through the letters column, I would like to assure Mr.Groves that I am sane and as well-informed as the next reader. As to his suggestion that I consult the Internet, well no, I seek wisdom and knowledge not information. He let me off quite lightly actually, not even mentioning the Senate Scandal, but missed my point. Does he label the mayor of Belleville for example or Councillor Lafferty or Councillor Mary Tadman of Brighton with the terms he used in his letter? They are, after all, our politicians. His request for â&#x20AC;&#x153;What have you (me) done?â&#x20AC;? is answered by Past-President of Sagonnaska Kiwanis, to qualiďŹ ed soccer referee with six other community-related positions in between. Yes, Mr.Grovesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wish and efforts to ensure that voters be informed about their choice is certainly a positive. A difďŹ cult task indeed in which personal opinions should be gently stated. Mr. Grovesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; opinions on politicians do not give me the conďŹ dence to be swayed by him, certainly not informed. John Morralee, Belleville

Arts Quinte West makes plans for new year West, and got unanimous approval. She suggested other people, non-artists, might want to get involved as well, and invited the business community to support them. Mary Britt said a new venue has been found to display members’ art now, at the Ramada, starting with 28 paintings in June. Their art is also on display at city hall, Trenton pharmacy, Riverside Music, the mayor’s office, Frankford municipal office, and the offices of Northumberland-Quinte West MP Rick

Norlock and MPP Rob Milligan. “It adds up,” Andrews said. Britt said the Ramada will also be able to feature 3D objects in a new display case. The group will showcase its work at local events including the Home Show, Arts Up Front, Doors Open Quinte West, Savour, the Big Band Festival and more.

News – Quinte West – Despite closing its downtown gallery, Arts Quinte West (AQW) is looking forward to continuing its presence in 2014 and beyond. “We have 72 members,” said Anne Pennington, who stepped down as president of the organization at the annual general meeting on March 27. “Bring your friends. Bring lots of them!” Treasurer Suzanne Andrews, manager of the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce, said the group has very little in the bank but it’s applying to the city for a $2,000 grant to help with debts and marketing. Arts Quinte West spent $9,255 on rent for the gallery in downtown Trenton plus expenses. That left it with only $307 at the end of 2013. Communications director Penny Olorenshaw also stepped down from her position with the club. She was responsible for newsletters and managing the website. “The website has had 54,000 hits since it went live 36 months ago,” she said. “That’s not bad. It’s a small arts group.” She said it has 187 followers on Facebook and 329 on Twitter. Pennington told Olorenshaw “that’s a super human feat ... You have brought us into the digital age.” Andrews said three directors are needed for Arts Quinte West to continue, since it is a not-for-profit, incorporated organization. “As long as the shareholders want, we will keep the group going,” she said. “It has a lot of potential.”

Resistance mounts to closing Kemptville College By John Campbell

News - Codrington – Support is growing to hold off closing Kemptville College of Agricultural Technology for two years so a business case can be made to preserve its programs. More names were added to a petition being circulated by Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Rob Milligan when he held an open forum last Saturday at the Codrington Community Centre. Milligan told the crowd of about 55 people that his office “has been inundated with letters, petitions, emails (and) phone

calls” since the University of Guelph announced it would be closing its satellite campus in Kemptville in 2015. Guelph said it’s “currently running a deficit which makes it fiscally unable” to continue to have Kemptville under its wing, as has been the case since 1997. The closure will cost 75 faculty members their jobs and affect more than 700 full- and part-time students enrolled in food, agriculture and horticulture, technical trades, equine and extension programs. Student numbers was one of the issues Milligan addressed at

the outset of the forum he called to “clear the water a little bit (that’s been) quite murky.” The Liberal government initially said only 90 students attended Kemptville and then “tweaked it a little bit” by saying there are 200, which is still far short of the actual number, he said. There’s been “a lot of misinformation ... pushed out” by the government about enrolment figures, agreed fellow Progressive Conservative MPP Steve Clark (Leeds-Grenville) whose riding includes Kemptville. Progressive Conservative MPPs Steve Clark (Leeds-Grenville), on the left, and Rob Milligan (Northumberland-Quinte West) spoke out against the closing of Kemptville Agricultural College next year. They’ve asked for a two-year moratorium so that a plan can be devised to save the programs at the 97-year-old institution. Photo: John Campbell

He said “the beauty of having a campus in Eastern Ontario was the opportunity” for students to return home at night or on the weekend to help with the family’s farm operations. “For farmers in the crowd it’s pretty much a no-brainer ... (to have a college) close to where they live.” Guelph university has said first-year students will

be allowed to return next fall to complete their two-year program but no new students will be accepted. A Kemptville College Renewal Task Force has been formed made up of local stakeholders but it needs time to develop an action plan, Clark said. He’s collected more than 8,000 names in support of his call for a moratorium.

The task force has asked that a new cohort of students be allowed to start their post-secondary education in September with the option of switching to another college next year if “a sustainable plan” isn’t developed by then. Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities Brad Duguid toured the campus last week with Clark and told him hearing from students – he was given a box with 100 letters – “makes a difference” and that it “matters” when people sign petitions. Ron Burgess, president of the Kemptville College Alumni, warned: “Once you close that door it will never be opened again.” Arlene Dorland, president of the Northumberland Federation of Agriculture, said farm organizations need to work together to speak as one voice. “Our government today would like to divide and conquer farmers,” she said. Cathy McCann urged everyone to write letters to the government in protest. It listened to concerned constituents before the last election when it cancelled plans to build two power plants in Oakville and Mississauga. “So, sometimes when a vote is expected, the government will listen,” McCann said. “With continued pressure and support and more letter writing, we anticipate the decision to close Kemptville College can be reversed.” After the meeting Clark said: “We’ve got lots of ideas, and there’s lots of suggestions out there, but we need those first things dealt with before we go much further.”

QHC balanced budget depends on community support By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West – A $7 million gap between revenues and expenditures was cleared up by Quinte Health Care (QHC) staff in this year’s balanced budget. “Quinte Health Care is becoming as efficient as possible,” said CEO Mary Clare Egberts at the board meeting held at Trenton Memorial Hospital March 25. “Our staff and physicians continue to rise to the challenge to find new ways of delivering high quality health care with less funding,” she said. Egberts noted that the provincial government has changed the way hospitals are funded in order to invest more money in home care, residential hospices and other community-based health care. “We absolutely believe this is the right long-term solution for our patients and the sustainability of our health care system,” she said. Karen Baker, chair of the finance committee, the amount of Ministry of Health funding won’t be known until late June. “Some of this funding is one-time only,” she added. Chief financial officer Brad Harrington and Katherine Stansfield, vice-president and chief nursing officer, presented the draft 2014/2015 operating plan for board approval. The next steps are to proceed through staff planning process with Quinte Health Care’s union partners. Some of the efficiencies included eliminating one management position, negotiating improved contracts with benefit carriers, securing a new laundry vendor, planning a larger retail presence, and signing new contracts for non-patient transportation and equipment maintenance. “The reduction of two Alternate Level of Care days allows the closure of two ALC beds at Trenton Memorial Hospital,” Harrington said. “There could be longer wait times but we will monitor this.” Prince Edward County hospital will close three beds. Originally, there were five beds but this has been reassessed. Another reduction will be to amalgamate two floors at Belleville General Hospital, at Q4/5. High volume surgical short stays will allow for reduction of one surgical bed. Harrington said more patients can be dealt with in a short time, under 23 hours, discharged and able to go home. They will continue to divert less urgent patients away from emergency departments. Cystoscopy services will be relocated to Trenton Memorial. Harrington commented. “The real story is that despite financial pressure we will have a better, high quality care.” Harrington admitted it has been “a long journey” getting to a balanced budget. He noted that a 20-bed regional Behavioural Support Services Transition Unit will be implemented at Belleville General, to help behaviourally challenged patients. “This is a great new story,” he said. “We are very pleased. This is for patients with dementia or challenging behaviours who need a safe, controlled environment with trained staff.” He admitted the risk is that these patients will not move on but take up inpatient units. A second oncologist will be hired with funding from the Cancer Care

Ontario. “We want QHC as efficient as possible,” Harrington said. “We can reduce drug costs, reduce supply waste and reduce overtime and sick time.” He said this budget has been difficult but the road ahead is even more challenging. “We are using best estimates from Ministry of Health,” he

said. Harrington said revenue is going down at four hospital sites but the money is going out to the community. “Picton hospital has a Hospital in the Home project,” he said. “Now they can get care at home. As the hospital shrinks the community grows.” Dave MacKinnon asked how they

can engage the community. “We need to explain the issues so we don’t get a reaction,” he said. “This is good for the patient but they don’t always see it. It’s better care, not just more cost effective.” Baker said “patients need to change their behaviour and attitude. Come to the hospital only when they need to.”

Chair Steve Blakely said these are challenging times. “The province has not stepped up,” he said. “There is no more money in the health care system. We have at least two more years of challenges. The game is not over.” He added that other hospitals across the country are struggling even more.

Fire chief gives informative talk to club members News - Brighton – The Brighton Fire Department received 443 calls in 2013, but only 18 had to do with fires. Most were for medical emergencies (186) while 37 involved car accidents and 32 the result of a public hazard, such as power lines down. “Our calls seem to be getting higher and higher,” Fire Chief Lloyd Hutchinson told members of the Brighton Computer Club March 25 at the King Edward Park Community Centre. “We used to do a call a day and we thought that was pretty good ... Now it’s nothing for us to have five or six (in a day).” He and Captain Ed Lamain were there to talk about firefighting and the role of computers in their work, as well as to offer some safety tips. Hutchinson said the fire department’s fleet includes three pumpers, two tankers, two rescue vehicles and a half ton; iPads will be installed in the two “first responding trucks” that will enable firefighters to access much more information efficiently en route to a call. The fire chief spoke about the use of foam in putting out fires, which can give the appearance firefighters aren’t doing their job. “We’ll spray and spray and then I’ll just say shut down for a minute,” Hutchinson said. Onlookers will think “the blasted thing’s on fire and you’re standing there looking at it,” but it’s to give the foam “a chance to do its work,” which is to spread and work into cracks. Firefighters are often confronted with materials and situations that can be deadly and the key is to exercise caution

at all times “I’ll give you one tip, if you see a firefighter running from a fire, don’t ask, just follow,” he quipped, drawing laughter. Hutchinson stressed he will not endanger his firefighters to prevent damage to property when the risk is high and there’s no one inside. “If everyone is out of that house and it’s fully involved I’m not sending guys in,” he said. The department’s equipment includes auto extrication equipment bought for around $50,000 a few years

ago that would cost close to double that to replace today, he said. Northumberland County’s fire chiefs are working toward central dispatching “so seven departments can hear each other, which would be a bonus,” Hutchinson said. He praised employers who allow workers to be volunteer firefighters who could be called away at any moment for a major fire or serious accident. Firefighters do get paid a modest amount for time spent on a call or at the twicemonthly training sessions but

they are called volunteers because, unlike a full-time firefighter such as himself, who reports to work every day, they “show up if they can.” New recruits are asked if they can make it to at least 50 per cent of calls, 50 per cent of the training sessions and 50 per cent of truck checks. “If we have a person who can do that, I’m happy,” Hutchinson said. He said fire extinguishers and smoke alarms should be checked once a month and every home should have an escape plan. Captain Ed Lamain said the department is in the process of revamping its

online presence, currently accessible through the municipality’s website, to include a kids zone that will offer con-

tests and games. It will also join Facebook and Twitter “so you guys can follow us,” he said.

56 Prince Edward St. Brighton ON K0K1H0 March 19, 2014 Community information letter

This used clothing outreach program has been in continual operation for over 50 years and it is a program that our Church is committed to continuing to provide to the community. However, we have recently been informed that, under the Canada Revenue Agency rules and regulations under various Charities Acts, registered charitable organizations (such as TSAUC) may only distribute funds to other registered charitable organizations. As a result of this information, some procedural changes were made in the manner in which funds were disbursed to ensure that the church was in compliance with these regulations. It is also the responsibility of the Church Council (our official Board of Directors) to ensure that we are acting in a manner consistent with the general practices of the United Church of Canada. Unfortunately, being required to comply with these rules and regulations has upset a certain segment of volunteers who are now disseminating information into the community that would suggest that TSAUC has forced them to move the clothing depot to a new location. Nothing could be further from the truth. In the spring of 2013, I met with the clothing depot volunteers to advise them of the governance changes that the Church would be making. In December TSAUC temporarily closed the clothing depot to make some much needed renovations and upgrades. At no time did we tell the volunteers that they would not be welcomed back - in fact quite the opposite! At no time did we suggest that the depot would be moving, - in fact we made significant investment in the space so as to make it more accessible to people with disabilities and to make it a brighter and friendlier space. Brightonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clothing Depot, the outreach program of TSAUC, remains open and accessible to the community with new extended hours - visit our website www.trinitystandrews.ca - like us on Facebook (Trinity-St. Andrew's United ChurchBrighton) or follow us on Twitter @tsauc for more information. We look forward to serving our community now and into the future at the same convenient location, 58 Prince Edward Street, just south of the church. Anyone wishing to volunteer for this worthwhile outreach project may call us at 613-475-2705. Yours very truly,

News – Frankford – Fire destroyed the public works facility at Wolfe Street Industrial Park in Frankford March 31. “We got the call at 2:20

a.m. on Monday morning,” said Deputy Fire Chief Dan Smith. “I live nearby so I was the first one there.” He said 30 firefighters went to the scene and found the structure engulfed in flames.

“It had been burning for quite awhile,” he said. “The fire was across the entire roof line.” Firefighters were forced to use a defensive attack, staying well back from the flames as it was so hot and there were several explosions. “The heat was so intense I could feel it along the fence line,” Smith added. Fire Chief John Whelan said there were several snow plows, a backhoe, a street cleaner and a pickup truck destroyed in the facility. The intense heat also melted some of the paint on the front of city trucks in the parking lot. Firefighters from Frankford, Batawa and North Murray were on the scene all night; some were still putting out hot spots in the morning. The Fire Marshal’s Office

began its investigation later in the day. “We were lucky it was good weather,” Smith said. “It wasn’t snowing or raining.” Public works director Chris Angelo said there were six snow plows, some half-tons, a sidewalk plow and a Bobcat in the facility, with a total value of between $4 million and $5 million. He said the new amalgamated public works building won’t be ready to use until the fall of 2015. The Frankford building could have been used for a new fire hall. “We still have 18 to 24 months to find a new location for parks staff,” Angelo said. “Frankford Public Works could go to the Murray yard. The Trenton yard can’t accommodate them.” He said the department’s biggest concern is the loss of six snow plows. “It takes eight to 10 months to receive new ones,” he said. “We can’t wait that

long.” They need equipment available to keep up response times for snow plowing in the rural areas. Angelo said he hopes

they can find a cause of the fire. There were gas tanks, air compressors, acetylene torches for welding, and a barbeque with a propane tank inside the building.

Belleville Olympian calls it a career By Steve Jessel

Sports – Belleville – It’s been a long and successful career for Belleville Olympian and two-time medal winner Brian Price, and this past week the long-standing coxswain of the Canadian men’s rowing team officially called it a career after 11 years with the national team. Price won a gold medal with the men’s eight rowing team in 2008 and followed that up with a silver in London four years later. “When you’re an Olympic athlete you make a lot of decisions that are inherently selfish decisions, where you live, when you train, it’s all regimented for you, and the family sort of has to follow along,” Price said, when asked why he was retiring. “It got to the point where now it’s time for me to think more like a dad and a husband.” A Belleville native, Price is a survivor of childhood cancer. The treatment he received impacted his growth during his formative years. As a result, at 5’4 and 120 pounds Price had the perfect stature to become a coxswain, but competing at the Olympics was never a sure thing. Price said he remembers being at the Quinte Rowing Club in 1996 watching the Canadian rowers compete during the Summer Olympics in Atlanta. “I watched those guys competing and thought it was amazing, never thinking that this was going to be me in eight years,” he said. “At the end of the day as you progress through your sporting career, just like careers in life, you have choices and deci-

sions to make whether you want to continue on that path, and my answer was always ‘yes.’ Yes I want to continue. Yes I think I can get better. Yes I think I can get to the next level.” After placing a disappointing fifth in his Olympic debut in Athens in 2004, Price and his team returned to the Olympic spotlight in 2008 to take home the gold medal. Price said he almost retired following that year, but after touring the country doing speaking engagements he realized there was something he was missing – the spirit of competition. Price returned to the team for the 2012 Olympics in London, winning a silver medal with six Olympic rookies on the team. “It wasn’t really so much about redemption from the previous Olympics,” Price said of winning the gold in 2008. “For me personally I knew I had that performance in me, and I knew we as a team had the ability to achieve that.” Today, Price plans to continue his career as a motivational speaker while also working with the RBC Olympian program. As a cancer survivor Price said he’s essentially the “best-case scenario” in terms of recovery from the deadly disease, and said that he felt he needed to succeed for the cancer patients who weren’t so lucky. “I didn’t just want to survive,” he said. “I wanted to live life and enjoy it, and experience it, and push it, and do it really on behalf of a lot of people who didn’t get that same opportunity, because they didn’t make it for whatever reason. I really felt I not

Belleville native and two-time Olympic medalist Brian Price has decided to call it a career at age 38. Price said he’s retiring in order to spend more time with his family, wife Robbi and daughters Peyton and Brianna. Price most recently won a silver medal at the 2012 Summer Games.

Collisions way up in the county – but a really bad winter isn’t the sole reason

News – Brighton – It shouldn’t come as a surprise, after one of the worst winters in recent history, that motor vehicle collisions in Northumberland County more than doubled the first two months in 2014 compared to the same period a year earlier. “We’ve seen a lot of weather-related collisions,” Northumberland OPPDetachment Commander Inspector Doug Borton told members of the Brighton Police Services Board. The total at the end of February stood at 335, with one fatality, the

result of a whiteout on County Road 30 south of Campbellford; last year, only 148 collisions were recorded, and no one was killed. The number of people injured was also up considerably, going from 28 in two months to 96 in 2014. Borton said collision numbers were up across the county and not just along Highway 401, which has attracted the most attention because of the many multiplevehicle collisions that occurred along that stretch locally causing numerous road closures.

County councillors complained there was a significant drop in the standard of service for the removal of snow on the 401 but Borton said, in many instances, it was the drivers who were responsible. “It wasn’t unusual during a winter storm for an officer to lay a speeding charge,” where the motorist was driving in excess of 120 km/h. The OPP’s top two officials “were both very negative” about the havoc being caused by drivers and their driving habits, he said. “We’ve got to change the

“We’ve got to change the mindset of drivers.” mindset of the drivers,” Borton said, so more of the motoring public realize that just because the speed limit is 100 km/h doesn’t mean you can travel that fast in all conditions. Mayor Mark Walas said Ministry of Transportation (MTO) officials got “a loud and clear message from all members of county council” last month

that they were not happy with the changes the ministry had made without notification in the contract for winter maintenance. “They’ve got a lot on their plate to come up with some answers for us,” when they return in September to make another presentation, he said. “The contract they have in place just is not satisfactory for this particular area.” The requirements for pieces of equipment necessary to do the work went from 17 to nine, and the number of sand domes available for use dropped from

three to one The MTO used “to be the leaders in providing the best level quality of service out there and obviously they’ve fallen short,” Walas said. Borton said the OPP is looking to work with the ministry to do more education on winter driving, by making pamphlets available at service centres at each end of the county on the 401. Also being considered is to hold discussions with trucking companies whose vehicles have been involved in collisions, he said.

Public meeting for methadone clinic raises concerns Change Health Care Inc., which will be managing the clinic. “The success rate at treatment centres is three to five per cent,” he said. “In opiate substitution therapy (methadone maintenance therapy) people on the program will experience success as with any illness. The reality is the relapse rates are very high. They do well on treatment, if they stay on treatment long-term. It keeps them stable.” Bonham-Carter said the centre tries to change behaviour so people can change their lives in a significant way that reduces the chance of relapse. “It takes a long time to make a difference,” he admitted. “There is a part of the brain that is affected forever once there is a serious drug dependency. But it is a little bit plastic. It can be taught over a period of time, months to years. The brain needs to heal.” He said long-term methadone programs are more successful than any other. Staff manage, treat and counsel clients with all forms of addiction. “It is a slow process,” he noted, “There is always a potential of relapse.” One person said there is a methadone clinic in Brantford downtown where they have two full-time security guards. “People are hanging about and

there is drug paraphernalia found on the ground,” she said. ”These worries are realistic.” Bonham-Carter said such fears are all associated with dispensing clinics. The centre in Trenton would not be dispensing methadone, just meeting with clients, registering them with the program, he said. The dispensing would be done at a separate location in Trenton. He added there is a small dispensing clinic in Picton but there have been no complaints there. “We don’t want any complaints,” he added. “We have a reputation to maintain.” Bonham-Carter said the CHC “is not here to make your lives miserable. This is a benefit to the community. Give us a chance to prove it.” Marsha Stephen, executive director of CHC, noted the centre makes it quite clear what kind of behaviour is acceptable. Councillor Terry Cassidy said the city will look at the bylaw to make sure there are safeguards. He said he works with people on methadone, transporting six every week to Belleville. They are in and out of the clinic in less than 30 minutes and there is no lineup. “These people need better health care,” he said. “The treatment does not help their other health needs.”

Dave Crawford and Kelly Reynolds Agents

He said the idea is to get the best treatment for people in this community. He noted that council has not yet passed the bylaw to allow the service in. “Staff has to reflect on what people want,” Cassidy said. “Tell us your concerns. We are listening.” He noted this still has to come before the planning committee and then council. Piercy added that people are also welcome to come to board meetings and share their views. He noted that people did not originally want the CHC to be located downtown where it is now,

but it is doing just fine. Johnston said people who are opiate dependent are not monsters. “Some of the most wonderful humans I know are on methadone,” she said. “The spectrum is enormous. It is so mired by stigma.” Johnston said the clinic would likely be open two nights a week, from 5 to 9 p.m. with a doctor and case manager available. Cassidy spoke in favour of a good trial period to see if the clinic has a chance to fly. “We need to look at the need for adjustments,” he said.

Brian Jardine, director of planning for the city, said there are two layers to the process, involving the Official Plan and a zoning amendment. The review has to do with the land use only and it cannot enforce what time the clinic will be open. He said there will be a formal notification to nearby property owners when this will be discussed at the planning meeting, with public input on the agenda. Facilitator Lorri Taylor said the meeting was the first held about the methadone clinic which will now be passed on to the city to decide.

News – Quinte West – A public meeting on a proposed methadone clinic in downtown Trenton raised a few concerns. “What are the checks and balances?” asked one person at the meeting held March 26 at the Knights of Columbus hall. Michael Piercy, chair of the Quinte West Community Health Centre (CHC) that will be housing the clinic, said there will be no medications on site. “If we need security, we will get the OPP,” he said. “I don’t believe it will happen.” Piercy said more people are taking methadone because they are trying to come off the prescription drug Oxycontin than people who are coming off heroin. “These people are your neighbours,” he said. “They developed an opiate dependency. This is somewhat different than heroin users. There are not people sitting on the sidewalk waiting for their buds with a cigarette and a coffee. They are your friends and children. Unfortunately, they have a deep opiate dependency.” CHC clinic coordinator Kate Johnston said it’s a chronic and relapsing dependency. This is the harsh reality of dependencies, including alcohol, drugs and cigarettes, said Dr. Charles Bonham-Carter, from

Numerous issues raised at Rinaldi meet and greet in Campbellford By Sue Dickens

News – Campbellford – A meet and greet hosted by former MPP and Liberal candidate Lou Rinaldi, became a forum for ranting on many topics important to the roomful of residents and politicians who attended last week. Discussion about the closure of the Kemptville campus by the University of Guelph and rising hydro rates dominated the meeting here but other issues were also raised, ranging from the Campbellford bridge controversy to the Trent-Severn Waterway cutbacks, as well as problems with the Ontario Heritage online grant online system, the health care system, to the ORNGE air ambulance and Ontario gas plant scandals. For Rinaldi the event was about “reaching out to the communities,” but he also made it clear it was also about his political agenda. “This is the fourth one we’ve done to reach out to smaller communities,” he told the Independent. “I am the candidate, I will

be running (in the next provincial election) and it’s time to renew acquaintances with each community and see what the hot buttons are,” After losing the 2011 election Rinaldi has continued to work for the Liberal party “looking into rural issues” and reporting back to caucus. “The purpose of the meeting tonight is to see if I see any kind of trends, identify issues in general . . . to identify issues a candidate should know about when the election comes,” he explained. Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan tackled rising hydro costs and said, “It’s time to push the Ombudsman to continue to investigate Hydro One.” “We realize we cannot afford to pay the full cost of electricity. It’s our expectancy our province will subsidize it.” He also talked about what he called, “an attack on rural Ontario from Premier Kathleen Wynne,” who is also the Minister of Agriculture and Food and Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs. Noting the government “Is

about to offer municipalities new revenue tools,” to help with costs, Macmillan said, “We don’t want any new revenue tools. We don’t want any more ways of sucking money out of people’s pockets. We want the province to redistribute the money they already got and if that means taking some of programs down a notch to fund Hydro One then that’s what we want.” Rinaldi agreed his own hydro bill “has doubled,” but disagreed that the premier is ignoring rural Ontario, “otherwise why is she now scrambling to keep Kemptville from being closed.” Councillor Eugene Brahaney, a local farmer, said removing a centre of agriculture, the Kemptville campus, from Eastern Ontario “is a serious blow.” Others echoed his sentiment. Rinaldi said St. Lawrence College and Algonquin colleges have responded to a request to seek solutions to retain programs currently delivered at the Kemptville campus. Arlene Dorland, president of

News – Campbellford – The only thing constant in life is change and further proof of the maxim was provided last week in the form of a farewell celebration to mark the end of the Career Opportunities Project in Campbellford. Last July it was announced that Career Edge had taken over the function of the Employment Resource Centre from Community Living Campbellford/Brighton as part of a province-wide initiative by Employment Ontario to consolidate services it funds to eliminate duplication. The Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU) introduced a new Employment Service Delivery model in August 2010. The model allows Ontarians to ﬁnd the employment and training programs and servic-

es they need in one location rather than going from place to place The 18-month transition resulted in a seamless changeover locally because people have still been able to access the same services at the agency’s Campbellford Community Resource Centre (CCRC) on Bridge Street, where Career Edge has been a tenant for two years. As part of this transition, however, the Career Opportunities Project closed its doors at the resource centre the end of March. It had offered employment workshops and individual assistance since 1989 to residents of Trent Hills. Three employees saw their contracts come to an end as a result of the closure. They knew this was going to happen and so have been busy making plans for their future.

Barb Rockwell, of Norwood, who has been administrator for the past six years, and Jane McCulloch, of Madoc, who has been project facilitator for the past four years, will be moving in a different direction. “I might sub with some literacy things and I might try to work at a funeral home part-time,” Rockwell said. “Prior to coming to work here I was working on a clothing project for women, work wear, fancy clothes to wear in the garden,” McCulloch said. “it was a business. I would like to pick that up again.” The third employee, Janice Carman, who was the project administration person, left earlier this year and has found another position. Career Opportunities Project, initially funded in part by the federal government to assist persons with disabilities to enhance their job searching skills, assisted approximately 1,500 participants and assessed more than 3,000 people. Career Edge will continue to operate as the employment service provider for the residents of Trent Hills at the Campbellford Community Resource Centre. Nancy Brown, executive director of Community Living Campbellford/ Brighton, said the community resource centre “absolutely will still remain open and we will still offer employment opportunities under Carolyn Anderson, who is our community resource centre administrator, making sure we are still offering all those community supports such as college courses, interest courses, our lab, as well as our hub that offers community supports in our area.” Anderson admitted the loss of the employees “is sad. “I just think we are really going to miss the personality and professionalism of the girls who are leaving. They did not only their jobs but a lot of other things and we were a great team.”

Study charges province’s health care failing elderly patients News - Campbellford – Ontario’s health-care system is failing patients, especially the elderly, “who are often pushed out of hospital when still acutely ill or in need of ... restorative care and therapies,” says a study based on the experiences of hundreds of patients and their families. Pushed Out of Hospital, Abandoned At Home: After Twenty Years of Budget Cuts, Ontario’s Health System is Failing Patients slams the province for downsizing hospitals and cutting 19,000 acute care beds over two decades while moving toward an outpatient community-based care model that has proved inadequate. “This has had a catastrophic impact on patient care,” the study says. Hospitals are “discharging patients too soon,” their outcomes are “poorer ... because of a lack of timely care,” and they’re receiving “insufficient care at home or through community-based service providers.” The 63-page report, available at www.ochu.on.ca, offers several case histories as anecdotal evidence to support its argument that changes in health care are needed. The information provided by individuals was collected over a year by means of a patient hotline that was a joint initiative of the Ontario Association of Speech-Language Professionals and Audiologists (OSLA) and the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions (OCHU), the hospital division of the Canadian Union of Public Employees

(CUPE). More than 600 calls were received. OCHU president Michael Hurley, who was in Campbellford March 21 as part of a provincewide media tour to call attention to the study’s findings, said “the bulk of the stories that we heard about” were elderly people whose significant medical problems weren’t dealt with properly. “They didn’t get the kind of care that you would expect them to,” he said. “There’s a form of age discrimination that’s going on in the Ontario health-care system, and the burden of the cuts that have happened in (hospitals) are felt primarily by the elderly and then by their families.” The health-care system appears to be saying that “if you’re older you may not get the care that a younger person would,” even though it was members of the older generation “who fought the wars (and) built the country.” The report makes more than a dozen recommendations for improving health care in Ontario. They include: – reopening chronic and alternative level of care beds – providing critical speechlanguage pathology services in a timely fashion before patients leave the hospital and improving access to those same services in home care – moving away from private forprofit delivery of home care, longterm care and pharmaceuticals – improving the quality of home

care supports – increasing the development of new not-for-profit long-term care beds so frail and elderly people who require round-the-clock residential care receive it at a nursing home – raising hospital restorative/rehabilitation professions and nursing care staffing levels to match standards across Canada. Hurley said there’s money available in the health care system, “if used intelligently,” to implement what the study has recommended. “I’m hoping we can shame all three political parties into taking a look at it,” he said. All three “pursued the same policies of downsizing” when they held power and “they all need to be held accountable.” The report’s release was to “apply as much public pressure as possible,” Hurley said. When told of the various programs Campbellford Memorial Hospital has undertaken, including restorative care and senior friendly programs, to deal with the sort of concerns identified in the study, Hurley said that “in smaller communities, it’s fair to say people are probably getting very good care. The danger really is that the plan of the provincial government is to consolidate more and more hospital services ... into larger centres.” The impact could be “very, very serious for what are really great smaller community hospitals,” he said. Hurley also acknowledged that “there’s a lot of positive things

about the Ontario health-care system.” The care is of “a very high standard” and the outcomes are “much, much better” than those south of the border, he said. “”We’re drawing attention in particular to a group that’s getting the short end of the stick.” OCHU’s Doug Allan said in an email that “Contrary to the suggestion of some, health care spending continues to decline as a percentage of the provincial budget.” In the fiscal year 2012-13, health care accounted for 38.5 per cent of total expenditures; for 2013-14) the government planned to bring it down to 38.3 per cent. This “continues the trend downwards” since 2003-04 when health care accounted for 40 per cent of total expenditures. Michael Hurley, president of the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions, was in Campbellford recently to draw attention to a study that says the province’s health-care system is failing patients, especially those who are elderly.

Man charged with trying to lure local youth

News – Trent Hills – Police charged a 41-year-old Beaverton man with trying to lure a local youth into having sex. Northumberland OPP said an adult male made contact with a 15-year-old teenager by means of an electronic device and pretended to be a 17-year-old boy. “Communications between the two became overly suggestive and resulted in requests for pictures,” po-

Remedial Action Plan aims to improve waterway habitats News – Bay of Quinte landowners are being encouraged to take advantage of the Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan’s Habitat Enhancement Program this year, and with the application process now started the clock is ticking on the popular program. The Habitat Enhancement Program is a cost-sharing program that’s a result of a partnership between two local conservation authorities, Quinte Conservation and Lower Trent Conservation and aims to help with habitat improvements to shoreline properties around the Bay of Quinte, or to properties that are adjacent to a waterway or wetland that drains into the Bay. Available for about the last seven years, the program falls under the Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan umbrella, which was first introduced in

the Quinte area in 1985, when the region was listed as an area of concern for pollution. “It’s always been quite popular and we always seem to get a nice mix of projects,” said Sarah Midlane-Jones for the Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan. “It’s nice to have that balance.” The plan states that private landowners play an important part in habitat recovery and protection, and even something as simple as planting a shoreline garden can create a habitat for a number of species like frogs, turtle and ducks. That’s where the habitat enhancement program comes into play - landowners can apply in one of five categories for funding, usually for up to 50 per cent of the cost. The five categories are shoreline naturalization, livestock fencing, waterway planting, habitat improve-

improving fish and wildlife habitat. Landowners who implement a livestock fencing project are then encouraged to add a planting project between the new fence and the waterway. For more information, including criteria for the five categories, visit www.bqrap. ca. The deadline for applications is April 30.

Local students win medals at COSSA gymnastics championships Photos: Steve Jessel

Centennial’s Miquela Barriage finished 7th in floor and first in bars during the COSSA championships Friday. By Steve Jessel

Sports – Belleville played host to the top gymnastics talent in the region on Friday, when the Central Ontario Secondary School Athletics (COSSA) gymnastics championships took to the floors, mats and beams of the Quinte Bay Gymnastics Club. Level 1 results It was a successful championship

for the Level 1 team from Centennial Secondary School in Belleville, as they took home the top team prize with a 88.75 score, narrowly edging out second-place Moira which finished with 88.35. In the vault, Centennial’s Miquela Barriage came in first while Moira’s Crystal MacDonald finished third, but MacDonald would get her revenge during the bars section, taking first place

followed by Centennial’s Chelsea Troke in second and schoolmate Ainsley Matthewson in third. In the beam, Centennial’s Madeline Green placed first and St. Theresa Secondary School’s Hailey McKeown took home third, and on the floor St. Theresa’s Olivia Melnyk was the top local finisher, placing second. MacDonald would take home first place in the all-round with Matthewson finishing third and Barriage finishing fourth. Level 2 results At Level 2 it was another local team finishing first, with Moira taking the top prize on the backs of Victoria Armstrong and Kailyn Maracle. Armstrong placed first in both the bars and beam sections of the championships, while Maracle claimed the vault followed by Centennial’s Liberti Hannah and Alexas Tustin. Hannah also placed second in bars while Maracle and Armstrong placed second and third, respectively in floor. Armstrong would also edge

out Maracle for top overall competitor for Level 2. Level 3/4/5/6 results In Level 3, strong performances from Moira’s Tasha Downer (first in vault, third overall) and Centennial’s Kayla Titus (first in bars) were not enough to overcome the team from St. Peter’s Catholic Secondary School, which finished first. St Peter’s also took home combined team honours for Levels 4, 5 and 6. Top local finishers at Level 4 included Bayside’s Bailey Meraw (first in vault, first in beam, first overall), Centennial’s Jaclyn Voteary (first in bars) and Bayside’s Olive Scott (first in floor). At Level 5 it was a clean sweep for Bayside’s Kate Bonn who took home first place in all five categories (beams, bars, vault, floor and overall) and at Level 6 St Theresa’s Allyssa Teno was the lone local first place finisher, finishing first overall and first in beams, with schoolmate Addison Thomas taking second.

Paddling Club offers dry land training through YMCA and Learn to Row programs Sports – Quinte West – The Trenton Rowing and Paddling Club (TRPC) and the YMCA have partnered to provide dry land training for rowers and there’s a group of new rowers eager for the ice to melt. The new dryland training classes for rowers have been successfully running at the Quinte West YMCA since January. “TRPC has had a great relationship with the YMCA since it’s inception,” says TRPC board member Robin Pilon. “And running this type of sport-specific dry land training class together is just another example of how the two organizations are supporting each other.” “We have a very keen group of new rowers”, says Kit McCandie, YMCA Instructor and avid rower with TRPC. “Rowing is one of the best all-

round fitness workouts you can find. It is a low-impact exercise that burns calories, provides cardiovascular benefits and helps to improve strength and endurance. And doing it with the TRPC is a lot of fun!” Former two-time German provincial rowing champion and current TRPC rowing coach Christian JaehnKreibaum is very happy that Trenton now has it’s very own rowing club. “The TRPC has a perfect location on the Trent River in downtown Trenton which lends itself to excellent water conditions for the sport,” says Jaehn-Kreibaum, who was part of the Ruderverein Steinmuehle Rowing Club team in the late 1970s. “I was the strokesperson in the double four boat with coxswain and we placed fifth and sixth consecutively at the German National Championships

in Berlin. Subsequently, I taught and coached rowing to high school kids which I really enjoyed.” After moving to the Trenton area in 1999, Jaehn-Kreibaum rediscovered rowing and is now coaching for the Trenton Rowing and Paddling Club as well as training for the Ontario Rowing Masters competitions to be held over the summer in Kingston, Welland and St. Catharines, Ont. Registration for the Learn to Row lessons and memberships are now underway at the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce during regular business hours. The fee for the Learn to Row program is $120 for five group lessons, once per week, and $100 of that is credited towards your rowing membership if you decide to continue. The TRPC expects to be on the water

later in April, weather permitting. Stay tuned for season opening announcements and upcoming rowing and paddling events. For more information, call the Quinte West Chamber at

613-392-7635 or email info@ trentonrowingandpaddling.ca . You can also visit the TRPC Facebook page at Trenton Rowing and Paddling Club for regular updates, event postings and photos.

By Stephen Petrick

Sports – Trenton – The Trenton Golden Hawks Junior A hockey team saw its season come to an end recently, but only after a spirited playoff run. The team was ousted from an Ontario Junior A Hockey League conference semifinal playoff series by the Kingston Voyageurs, 4 games to 2. The final game was a 9 - 7 win for Kingston in Game 6 on Friday, March 21. But the Hawks completed an improbable come-from-behind victory over the Whitby Fury in a first-round playoff series to earn the matchup with the always-strong Voyageurs.

After losing the first two games to Whitby 7 - 1 and 4 - 0, the Hawks rallied to beat Whitby four straight times to win the best-of-seven series. The Hawks would go on to win two of the first four games in their series with Kingston by scores of 3 - 2 in Game 2 and 4 - 2 in Game 4. However, the Voyageurs won the final two games to advance to the next round. The Hawks got great

playoff performances from Zach de Concilys, who led the team in scoring with six goals and four assists, and defenceman Tyler Mayea, who scored two goals and six assists. Denny Dubblestyne played well in goal for the Hawks, posting a 6-win, 6-loss record and a .871 save percentage throughout the playoffs.

24th David Philp Memorial Windup Bonspiel all about fun and family Sports – Campbellford – The 24th David Philp Memorial Windup Bonspiel was held last weekend as 96 curlers on 24 teams vied for the championship trophy at the curling club in Campbellford. The winning team was skipped by Dave Collyer, with Sheri-Lynn Collyer, as vice, both of Belleville, Jeff Wilson, second, (Collyer’s brother, originally from Campbellford), and Collyer’s daughters, Averi MacMillan and Kayla MacMillan. “Averi curled Friday and Saturday and Kayla curled Sunday and shared the position of lead so that’s why both their names are on the trophy,” explained Colleen Philp. “Jeff has been living in Edmonton for two years but comes home for two weeks for the David Philp Memorial Windup,” she added. The bonspiel is in memory of her brother. He “was very well known here,” she said. “He played All-Ontario hockey and played baseball. He volunteered in the community. People here remember him. “He is one of those people who everyone knew. He could talk with eight-year-olds or 80-year-olds. He loved people and gave every person he talked to his full attention.” The weekend he died, at 19 years of age, he had played five curling games as well as minor hockey and “still had time to challenge a friend and myself to a game of racquetball,” Philp said. It was their father, Paul Philp, who started the windup bonspiel at the club after it opened. “My dad and brother were both competitive when they wanted to be but when it came time to curl they had a good time and we wanted to continue that tradition for the members here,” she said. Philp reminisced about curling as a family at the club in Campbellford when she was a teenager. “We encourage kids to curl. We’ve had kids under 10 curling with their

family and that is starting to come back,” she commented. Her son Cole curls in the three-day windup bonspiel, “in memory of his uncle.” Out-of-town curlers joined local curlers on the ice here, coming from Belleville, Hastings, Havelock and Keene. “We try to keep it fun and a plaque goes to the winning

rink to commemorate who has won it,” Philp said. “It’s never really about the winning . . . a team could end up with points and not even win a game. “It’s all about the fun and in memory of David.” Curling comes to an end here on April 10 with the competitive league curling bonspiel wrapping up the season.

Sports - Albert College’s dominant boys basketball team strikes again with a 46 - 41 gold medal win over Crescent School to end the season at home on a high note. After finishing the season with a 7 - 1 record, the team entered the playoffs with high hopes for gold. “All the players contributed and we survived a late comeback attempt from Crescent to secure the championship,” said coach and science teacher Brian Profit. The top scorer in the finals was captain, Jupvir Atwal (grade 12), with 17 points. Coach Brian Profit, has now lead five consecutive U20 boys basketball teams to gold medal finishes. “We have developed quite a basketball program. For the size of our school we are very competitive and it is in part to the ideals of hard work, teamwork, leadership, and communication that all coaches try to instill in their players. Like many successful teams, there have been bumps in the

road, but every time there was a bump, there was a different player who took charge to lead us on the court. These are not just sport specific skills and I know the players will use them in all aspects of their lives.” Head of School Keith Stansfield, also welcomes the life skill benefits that come from extracurricular activities such as athletics. “There is no doubt in my mind that the leadership skills and confidence that come from athletic competition make our students more successful when they move on to post-secondary education. At a time when the percentage of boys at university and in professional programs is dropping, it is more important than ever that we do everything we can to develop in them the skills to be successful. The success of our athletes on the court, and the 100% acceptance of our students into post secondary institutions is no coincidence.”

Junior ice dance champs enjoy Norwood visit By Bill Freeman

Sports - Asphodel-Norwood â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mackenzie Bent and Garrett MacKeen had a blast in Norwood Sunday afternoon. The Canadian Junior Ice Dance champions, fresh from another world championship test in SoďŹ a, Bulgaria, stepped out of the pressurecooker atmosphere of international competition and had a little fun during the Norwood District Figure Skating Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Big Dreams carnival Sunday afternoon in front of a large crowd at the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With all the stress and all the pressure of competing you kind of get out of the joy of skating and we really do enjoy skating,â&#x20AC;? Mackenzie, 16, told the Independent as they prepared to wow the crowd with two dynamic showcase skates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love skating at carnivals,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just play around a little bit; you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be so strict with the rules and you can have a lot of fun.â&#x20AC;? The ďŹ rst routine was their free dance competition program with a few show tunes thrown in to â&#x20AC;&#x153;change it upâ&#x20AC;? a little bit. They followed up with a showcase dance to Marilyn and Joe. Both were dazzling and left no doubt why the Scarborough Ice Dance Elite Club duo won the national championship and ďŹ nished ďŹ fth at the worlds last year and took a gold medal at the ISU junior Grand Prix in Riga, Latvia. Mackenzie and Garrett, 19, have been skating together for nine years and their lofty goal has always been a national title and when they stood on the medal podium it was in every sense a Big Dream accomplished. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To me it was ďŹ nally relief,â&#x20AC;? said Garrett. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So much work goes into

training and every day skating it was kind of nice to recognized for everything we put into it,â&#x20AC;? Mackenzie added. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to graduate to the even loftier reaches of senior skating and are both conďŹ dent and excited about the prospects ahead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it will be that big a jump to senior,â&#x20AC;? said Mackenzie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve sort of been aiming for senior during all three years we competed at junior so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been in the back of our minds. I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been training to compete at that level.â&#x20AC;? Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve trained with some of Team Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best senior skaters and soaked up all they could. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a neat experience,â&#x20AC;? Mackenzie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You watch them train and you take things out of the effort they put in and how they handle every situation.â&#x20AC;? The couple has made friends on the international circuit and can balance the hard-nosed business of competition with off-ice camaraderie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really amazing people. While weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at the rink competing weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all in the zone but we can step out of it and really enjoy each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company. There are so many wonderful teams out there and a lot of talent and we recognize that.â&#x20AC;? Both started out as solo skaters but soon found their niche in dance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like being on the ice with another person, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more fun to train and to compete was a little less nerve-racking,â&#x20AC;? Mackenzie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did free but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last long,â&#x20AC;? Garrett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I basically stayed until one of my friends quit then I started with Mackenzie. It makes skating more enjoyable.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ice is kind of in your heart,â&#x20AC;? Mackenzie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a challenging sport.â&#x20AC;?

Young speakers impressed all

By Judy Backus

News - Marmora - The nine branches of the Royal Canadian Legion which comprise Zone F3, include those in Marmora, Madoc, Tweed, Deseronto, Picton, Wellington, Consecon, Bel-

leville and Stirling. Over the past weeks, each has held a public speaking contest, and on March 30, Branch 237 Marmora hosted the Zone competition which featured the top speakers from each of the branch competitions.

A total of 18 contestants representing the winners in three categories: grades one to three, four to six, and seven to nine, arrived at the local Legion to again deliver their speeches. Although students from grades ten through 12 were

also included in the contest, none opted to participate. First, second and third place prizes of $30, $25 and $20 were awarded in each division, with the ďŹ rst place winners facing the challenge of speaking at the District competition, which represents Please see â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bothâ&#x20AC;? on page B3

A festival celebrating incredible edibles being planned

By John Campbell

Entertainment – Campbellford – The Incredible Edibles Festival will make its debut in downtown Campbellford this summer and getting admission will be a snap. “If you eat, you’re in” is the catchphrase of the inaugural event that will be held July 12 on a section of Saskatoon Avenue that will be closed to traffic between Front and River streets. That’s where organizers hope as many as 50 vendors will set up to sell different kinds of foods obtained and/ or made locally. Among those already committed to take part

are Century Game Park near Warkworth, where owner Rod Potter raises bison and elk, and Haute Goat, outside Campbellford, whose owners, Debbie Nightingale and Shan Jaffe, make goat cheese chocolates. There will also be workshops and demonstrations, and there’s even a goat der4by and fashion show being planned. Throughout the day, Aron Theatre, which is presenting the festival, will be running short videos that highlight fun food ideas. Like the festival, there will be no charge for admission. “It’s all about the local farms

and food,” and how to utilize what they have to offer, such as cooking with maple syrup, says Jackie Igleheart, a member of the organizing committee made up of Aron volunteers. Increasing public awareness of what’s available in the area will add to the “sustainability of our local farms,” and that’s important, says Sandy Chapman, another volunteer. “We’ve got a lovely community here, we want to highlight it,” says Joan Sheppard, who’s also on the committee. Local treasures include Empire Cheese, which has won many awards. “People drive great

distances for a bag of curds.” Downtown merchants stand to gain from increased business generated by an influx of visitors drawn to Campbellford for the festival; for the Aron it’s an opportunity to raise its profile as “a cultural hub of the community,” Sheppard says. “We’re very lucky” to have a theatre with state-of-the-art technology that shows current movies, Igleheart says.

The mission of the festival committee is not only to raise awareness of the Campbellford/Trent Hills area but also the relationship that exists between local food vendors, suppliers, farmers, merchants and consumers. Sheppard says the festival is getting a good response from the people and groups she’s talked to in the farming and business communities.

“Everybody is excited, I haven’t had a naysayer yet,” she said. The committee has already set up a website, to post information about the event and to accept vendor registrations. It’s also looking for sponsors and volunteers to help make the day a success. Anyone interested is invited to call Sheppard at 705-6534747.

Invisible Ribbon Gala to celebrate 10th anniversary News – Trenton — On Saturday, May 3, the Trenton Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC) will host the 10th annual Invisible Ribbon Gala, an event that raises awareness about those who wear the “invisible uniform”: the families who support our troops. The event brings the community and military together to raise funds for the MFRC and to recognize the challenges faced by military families. “Military families live with stresses that the average Canadian family never experiences, certainly not at the rate or intensity you find within the military environment,” said Tamara Kleinschmidt, interim executive director of the Trenton MFRC. “Though military families are strong and resilient, having supports in place when families need them is

essential to maintaining that strength and resilience.” Kleinschmidt pointed out the country depends on the Armed Forces to be responsive to any number of extraordinary circumstances around the globe. “The Trenton MFRC, a nonprofit organization, identifies the needs of the military community at 8 Wing Trenton and creates an environment where families can minimize the stresses associated with the military environment and flourish,” Kleinschmidt said. “Our families truly are the strength behind the uniform.” One hundred percent of proceeds will go to the MFRC, support Kleinschmidt said is vital to the help that the resource centre provides to families. Funds raised support critical programs the MFRC provides. They include emergency and

respite care for families, language classes, counselling, and support groups that foster positive mental health and strong resilient families. The Invisible Ribbon Gala will be an elegant evening featuring a gourmet dinner paired with local wines, a silent and live auction, and entertainment featuring the 8 Wing Band. It will be held at the National Air Force Museum of Canada. All members of the community and military are welcome to attend. Tickets are $100 and can be purchased by phone, online, or at the MFRC, 50 Rivers Drive East. For more information about the event, or to learn how you can get involved, visit www. invisibleribbon.ca or call the Trenton MFRC at 613-9653575.

Three men fined for July deer hunt News - Three Ontario men have pleaded guilty and been fined a total of $5,000 for unlawfully hunting white-tailed deer. Andrew McCullough of Tamworth was fined $1,000 for hunting white-tailed deer during the closed season; $1,000 for having a loaded firearm and discharging it from on top of a vehicle; and $1,000 for making false and misleading statements to a conservation officer during an investigation. He also received a three-year hunting

suspension. Arthur McCullough of Parham was fined $1,000 for hunting white-tailed deer during the closed season and received a three-year hunting suspension. Neil McCullough of Parham was fined $1,000 for possessing illegally killed white-tailed deer and received a one-year hunting suspension. The court heard that on two separate occasions in July 2013, during the closed season, the three men shot one female

and one male white-tailed deer. Andrew McCullough shot both deer while Arthur McCullough assisted with the buck and Neil McCullough assisted with the doe. Andrew McCullough fired the initial shots at the buck from the roof of a truck where he was attempting to get a better vantage point for a clear shot. Justice of the Peace Jack Chiang heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice, Kingston, on March 25, 2014.

Local musician donates proceeds for Daffodil Month By Steve Jessel

News - April is Daffodil Month for the Canadian Cancer Society, and in Belleville one long-time musician is doing his best to make a difference with the sales of his latest CD. Eugene Deline has been making music for over 35 years, but for the month of April he’s decided to do something a little different. Deline is donating 100 per cent of proceeds from his latest album Luck and Skill to the Canadian Cancer Society throughout the month, and he’s Belleville musician Eugene Deline is donating all royalties from the sale of doing his best to get his message out his CD Luck and Skill to the Canadian Cancer Society for the month of April. there.

significant airtime in Campbellford, Tyendinega and on CJBQ, and Deline said he’s considering taking it to radio stations outside the region as well to help raise funds. “It’s a diverse package - there’s no filler on there,” Deline said of the album, a 10-track fusion of rock, contemporary and blues music. Deline and producer Eric Baragar spent 27 months to record the album, which was finished over the summer. Baragar said he compares Deline’s singing to Leonard Cohen on one end of the spectrum, and “Mick Jagger on the other end.” “A lot of it is imagination, although I’m sure that some of it

comes from experience,” Deline said, when asked where he draws his inspiration to write music. Deline estimates he’s written over 3,000 songs since 1976. “It stems from writing,” he added, explaining the creative side of writing and creating music was what he enjoyed the most. “Playing and singing are secondary.” Deline said he’s had a number of people in his extended family who have either contracted cancer and passed away, or are currently battling the disease. His sister died of leukemia in 2005 while his wife’s son died years prior at the age of 36. He said his sister-in-law is also cur-

rently ﬁghting cancer, and that they were the reason he wanted to donate to the Canadian Cancer Society. “Who hasn’t had someone pass away from cancer,” he said. “Either they’re related to somebody or they know somebody...” Luck and Skill is available at Quinte Mall at Sam the Record Man and at Harmony Music Plus in Belleville and costs $10. Deline will also being playing a live set during Night Kitchen Too at the Pinnacle Playhouse on April 26. Deline also asks for people to call into local radio stations to request songs from the album if they enjoy his music.

Both judges and audience roused by young speakers illustrations as to how people can drive you crazy, the worldwide issue of cyber bullying, building up courage to attempt the Disney Summit Plummet Challenge and the fear of Friday the Thirteenth. One contestant recited the story of the Cremation of Sam McGee, another featured the tourist destination of Puerto Rico, and another told of Gandhi, “the man who changed the world forever.” There were talks about conquering stage fright, self-image and the difficulties encountered when one is vertically challenged. Another spoke with feeling about the 16-yearold education activist, Malala Yousafzai from Pakistan. Once all the speakers had completed their presentations, it was time for the two scrutineers to tally the judg-

es’ scores and determine the winners. The winner in the primary division was Carter Leveque of Belleville, who spoke about overcoming his fear and tackling the Disney Summit Plummet. The junior division was won by Belleville resident, Jeanette Huang, who talked about the very appropriate topic of stage fright. First place in the Intermediate division was won by Madelyn Sheppard also from Belleville, who spoke with feeling about the growing crisis involving cyber bullying.

53 branches, being held in Deseronto on April 5. Lynn Deering, Zone F3 Youth Education Chairman, welcomed a crowd of speakers, their supporters and Legion personnel, saying that all the speakers should be proud of themselves for having reached that level of competition. She commented, “It says a lot for the youth of today and it says a lot for the parents who have taken the time to be here, to support you.” She went on to say that the Royal Canadian Legion spends thousands of dollars annually on their youth education programs, with the public speaking competition being a small portion of that. Branch President Marie Gordon extended best wishes to the competitors and charged all to “have a fun day!” She added, saying to the young speakers, “Don’t get yourselves all tied up in knots. If you forget something, just think we’ve all forgotten something at some time in our lives. Just go ahead!” Judges Bonnie Danes, Wayne Doyle and Dianne Cole, were charged with the difficult task of marking the speeches, basing their decisions on appearance, manner, topic choice, material, language and literary form. One by one, the young speakers, approached the front of the room where they faced friends, family, fellow competitors and judges to deliver animated, lively, sometimes sobering, humourous or thought provoking talks on a variety of subjects. These included in part, a message about the fun of owning a dog, camping experiences,

A different brand of country music By Steve Jessel

Entertainment - Belleville Juno award-winning country artist Corb Lund is coming to the Empire Theatre on April 10 and after a stint in Europe Lund said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s itching to kick off his 2014 Spring Thaw Tour back on home soil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been overseas for a couple months and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m raring to go,â&#x20AC;? Lund said. An eclectic and prolific songwriter, Lundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s country and rural roots shine through in his music and lyrics, and over a long and successful career heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been recognized with a laundry list of awards, including being named the Canadian Country Music Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roots Artist of the Year for seven consecutive years. A self-professed history buff, Lund sings about what he knows - bovines, bibles, vintage mo-

torcycles and everything in between. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of what makes him popular he thinks, and he says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a different breed than the country music thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played on the radio these days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really commercially formulated,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of on the fringes of country, almost underground country. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excellent beer-drinking music.â&#x20AC;? Lundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family are long-time cattle ranchers from Alberta, and he said he draws inspiration for his music from his family and their history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the country on the radio isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really that rural anymore, and I think thats part of our appeal,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we also appeal to the urban audience because our sound is a little more dirty and edgy than whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the radio too.â&#x20AC;? Corbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest album Cabin

Fever was released in 2012, and marked his seventh release, and second in the United States. Unsurprisingly, Lund said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen significant success in rural American markets including Texas and Oklahoma, and that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a bit of culture shock to come from playing shows in farm country to playing in front of a more urban crowd like in British Columbia where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also popular. And at the end of the day, the live shows are what he says he lives for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the energy exchange,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Making records is okay, but I really love the live shows. Playing live is really a magical space you get to, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlike anything else in life.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was always a dream of mine since a child to do this full time.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;People on facebook like to share,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cost a lot to advertise online.â&#x20AC;? Comeau has donated his work for raffles to raise funds for local organizations. That helps get him known and respected in the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helps to donate,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t over-donate.â&#x20AC;? He also goes to many art shows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Making your name as an artist is not an easy thing,â&#x20AC;? he admits. He urged the other artists to do what excites them in art. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you do it well, someone will like it,â&#x20AC;? he said.

As well as selling his work out of his gallery, he also does custom framing. He has designed his own website which sells his work all around the world.

As long as I can see it, I can draw it.â&#x20AC;?

He says the last 13 years have been a rough road finan-

He said the coin sells for $350 each and he bought 65 of them. The Royal Canadian Mint commissioned him to do the bison design on the coin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were looking for a realist with fine detail,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They paid me $1,000 to enter

TRAVEL

Geneva, Switzerland’s landmark: The Jet D’eau Lifestyles - Geneva, Switzerland’s Jet d’Eau (water jet) is visible throughout the city. It’s one of the world’s largest water fountains and erupts from the nozzle at a speed of 200 km. per hour, spewing out about 500 litres of water per second to an altitude of approximately 140 metres. It’s located where Lake Geneva empties into the Rhone River, and it’s quite a remarkable sight! Visitors can get their very own up close and personal viewing via a stone jetty on the left bank of the lake but if there’s a sudden wind change, these visitors may also get unexpectedly drenched. Therefore, the fountain is shut off when it’s particularly windy or cold. It’s also shut off overnight. It does, however, operate in the evenings, too, between spring and autumn and is illuminated by several coloured lights (somewhat like our own Niagara Falls). On a sunny day, the water jet is often accompanied by an exquisite rainbow. The original purpose of the Jet d’Eau was to produce electricity for Geneva’s watchmakers, and the first installation took place in 1886. It soon became apparent that this was also a very popular tourist attraction, so it was moved a little further upstream, to its present site in 1891, where the latest upgraded version was erected in a partially submerged pumping station in 1951. And now that I’ve mentioned watchmakers in the previous paragraph, it’s probably not a surprise to you that Geneva is also known as “the birthplace of watchmaking”. There are a lot of watches made here and a plethora of watchmakers’ shops. I was told there are about 30 million watches exported yearly and that Rolex alone employs more than 4,000 workers. I even discovered that my hotel, the Hotel Cornavin, had the largest mechanical clock in the world right in its lobby and it’s listed in the Guinness Book of World Records. I also learned that Geneva Tourism (www. geneva-tourism.ch) even puts out a “Geneva Watch Tour” brochure, and I covered much of this pedestrian route on my trek with my English-speaking guide, Sandrina Palomera. Sandrina and I strolled to Geneva’s famous Flower Clock, with its 6500 flowers in the dial and the world’s longest seconds-hand. We also passed by the Cite de Temps (an iconic site for Swatch fans), the Piaget Time Gallery with its historical timepieces, the Patek Philippe Museum depicting 500 years of watchmaking history, and the Museum of Clocks & Mechanical Instruments with its collection of antique clocks and watches. In addition to these timely sites, we also visited many of Geneva’s other

major attractions, including Old Town, perched on a hillside, with its maze of cobblestone streets, Maison Tavel, the oldest house in the city, Town Hall, where the League of Nations and Red Cross were founded, and St. Peter’s Cathedral, built in the 12th century on top of archaeological sites that date back to the first century and transformed from a Roman Catholic church to a Protestant place of worship in the 16th century. We also visited the Promenade de la Treille with its long wooden bench and spectacular overview of the city framed by old chestnut trees, Reformation Wall with its large statues of the major participants in the Protestant Reformation including John Calvin and John Knox, the tomb of the Duke of Brunswick, who bequeathed his fortune to this city in exchange for this impressive mausoleum that was built in 1879 in neo-gothic style, and the statue of Sisi, the Empress of Austria and the Queen of Hungary who was murdered while visiting in Geneva. After my walking tour, I still wanted to do some more exploring, so I used my transportation pass from the hotel to take a ferry across the lake. Later, I used this same pass to hop on a bus to check out Palais des Nations, now the European headquarters of the United Nations, the famous giant ‘Broken Chair’ monument erected by Handicap International, and the International Museum of the Red Cross

Geneva’s Jet d’Eau is shut off overnight - and in high winds.

and Red Crescent which showcases the activities of this humanitarian movement. Geneva is a very cosmopolitan destination, with a rich cultural life. There are lots of high-end shops, wonderful parks, and a great variety of restaurant choices. It’s located in southwest Switzerland near the French border on beautiful Lake Geneva at the foot of the

Jura Mountains and it’s very close to the Alps. The setting is spectacular, but it’s that water jet, in particular, that immediately reminds me of my whereabouts and it’s that Jet d’Eau that’s most often featured in the promotional photos of this enticing destination.

LIFESTYLES

The Good Earth: Who ya gonna call? By Dan Clost

Lifestyles - Yes, spring is coming. I know because you are in the store chatting up summer projects. One of the underlying concerns you ask us, Gentle Reader, is, “Can you recommend a company?” How do you know if you’ve selected the right company to do your work? A very simple answer would be to select only companies that are members of Landscape Ontario. That is simplistic to the extreme. There are many companies and individuals who have not joined this horticultural trades association that create exceptional landscapes. I do hope they would. More about this later. Another answer would be to go to a local garden centre and ask whom they would recommend. Many will have business cards on hand. This will not guarantee a good fit but it will get you off to a good start. However, there are few facts you should know about these recommendations. Our company also

has a board with many cards on it. We don’t recommend a single one of them; we can’t. Here’s why. The first of the facts is that all of those businesses are our customers, as is the case at other stores. We can’t offer ABC Landscaping at the expense of DEF Landscaping unless we want DEF to go elsewhere. As well, we can’t just suggest to the customers that ABC is the company they need. Perhaps ABC is one of the best businesses around for gardening and you want a gazebo. An important clarification: We don’t not recommend a company but if one of our trade businesses begin to receive complaints, we’ll investigate. Maybe a bad customer? If the concerns are valid then we will pull the card. Here’s what we do and this is what most other outlets will do as well. They will listen to what the customers are looking for and select two or three companies for contacting. We’re usually

spot-on in matching the ability of the company and the need of the customer. It’s part of our business survival skills. So now Gentle Reader, aka Gentle Customer, you need to call those companies. You have to start somewhere. In today’s social media environment, checking out a potential company is simple; check out their website. Two things will be immediately apparent. Do you like the layout, organization, and language on that page? Look at their portfolio. Here you’re not looking at the quality of the work, that should be a given. What you’re looking for is a tone, a feel with which you can relate. This theme will bring itself to the fore, natural, flowing or formal, wood and stone or chrome and stone, etc. For sure, there will be an example of a special project that doesn’t fall into their normal designs and it will be there to show you their range. Now, you’re ready to make the phone call and set up an appointment. You may

meet with the owner or a designer who will be working with you. During the conversation, you will be asked many questions that might not seem connected to building a flowerbed and patio. How much time do you want to spend gardening? What will be the main use of this space? Of course, the obvious one of budget will occur sometime during that first visit. By the way, the better prepared you are, the better the results of the meeting. You too, are responsible for asking questions about the company. What certifications do they hold, what organisations do they belong to, do they use subcontractors who are certified etc.? If everybody is pleased, the designer will go away and get to work. Soon, they will be back with a plan that fits your budget and, hopefully, fits your concept. Now compare this plan to the one(s) the other companies presented you. You did get more than one quote, right? The

value of the quotes should be fairly close. Differences might be in selection of materials or the size of the plants. Sometimes you might see a low-ball quote, one that just doesn’t compare. Be very careful and ask yourself, “What did they miss?” Maybe they actually can do a superb job for that price, but be skeptical. You’ve selected the company and are about to sign the contract. Take some time to read it through. Visit the Landscape Ontario Horticultural Association’s webpage and spend some time there. You will see there are two streams, one for homeowner, one for businesses. Go to the business side fist. You will see everything that is happening in the trade, as well the voluntary code of ethics. You will get a good understanding of the trade. Now, you’re ready to pick your company. You’ll be ready to get to it as soon as spring does arrive.

Who would have guessed? This skeptical reporter gets a psychic reading By Steve Jessel

Entertainment – Belleville – I’ve never been to a psychic expo before. I’ve never had a “reading” done, I’ve never had my fortune told, and while my parents had a deck of tarot cards I used to play with as a kid, I think I was more interested in the colourful illustrations than anything else. With this in mind, I headed to the annual Belleville psychic expo over the weekend to see what the buzz was about, and the first thing I noticed was just how busy the event was. The organizer, Linda Fulcher, had told me the event can get quite hectic, but on Saturday afternoon the venue was jam-packed with people browsing items and waiting their turn for a reading. And readings certainly seemed to be the main attraction – in every corner of the room, pairings hunkered over their tables, totally oblivious to the world around them.

If you haven’t guessed by now, I’m what people at the expo would likely refer to as a “skeptic.” Growing up, my single mother was definitely a spiritual person, but she never forced her beliefs on my brother or myself. Instead, she let us make up our own minds about what was “real” and what wasn’t, and I had always tended towards concrete facts and evidence and away from spirituality and religion. When I first previewed the event a couple weeks ago, Linda had followed up afterward, offered to arrange a reading for me during the event. Initially I wasn’t sure I would take her up on the offer, but then I began to wonder - we’ve all had friends who have been to a psychic and absolutely swear by the results, and even as “skeptical” as I am, Linda had definitely piqued my curiosity. Vowing to keep an open mind about the subject, I decided to take her up on the offer, and

on Sunday I had a very basic reading done. My psychic was a middle-aged man going by the name Paul Pacific, touting a business card that proclaimed him as “Canada’s Barefoot Prophet.” Charismatic and friendly, (and barefoot as expected) Paul very quickly set the ground rules for our session together by asking one quick question. “Are you a skeptical journalist?” he asked me. “I don’t think you become a journalist without having a healthy amount of skepticism,” I replied. The cynic in me would say that simple question likely set the tone for the reading - knowing that I’m a newspaper reporter who is also skeptical of psychics, it would maybe make sense for Paul to tone down his predictions

and perhaps maintain a more general tone. Regardless, Paul quickly got down to work, using a technique known as numerology to draw a connection between my birth date and my personal characteristics. Paul spent the next five minutes extolling my various virtues based on those numbers, and while I personally strive to be many of the things he described, even on my best days I’m not the saint he described. Some of his observations were uncanny in their accuracy - how I value my close friends, my introverted nature and my tendency to feel empathy for others in particular, but again the cynic in me rears its ugly head. How much can he tell about me based

on my reactions to his questions? Does he maybe start with a general question and then build a “character profile” for me based on my answers and subtle reactions? That’s my guess anyway. In conclusion, I came away impressed, but also mildly disappointed. I can definitely see the attraction of having a reading done, but this one experience was never going to change my mind. I didn’t go in expecting a lifetime of cynicism to be washed away with a simple five-minute session, but there’s certainly a small part of me that yearned for something bigger than the nuts and bolts of everyday life. Unfortunately, that something probably has nothing to do with adding up the numbers of my birthday.

that could have a lasting impact on the young people she’ll meet this month to talk about the Our Canada Project. OCP is an initiative of Learning for a Sustainable Future designed to help youth put into action their vision for a better Canada. As OCP ambassador for Eastern Ontario Nestoruk will meet with at least 12 different groups – schools, sports teams and youth service organizations, for example – to encourage their participation in a nation-wide effort to build a sustainable future. Her presentation includes brainstorming to come up with a project “they could create in the community” which they can then share online “so other people can see and be inspired.” Project ideas include community gardens, bike share programs, environmental education

programs, waste and water festivals, recycling clubs, food security symposiums, sustainable energy initiatives, and other sustainability campaigns. “I”ve always had a passion for sustainability,” says Nestoruk, a graduate of Campbellford District High School, who helped launch the school’s environmental group. She’s a huge advocate “of going green on a small scale” because changes at the individual level “can make a difference.” A fourth-year student studying environmental governance at the University of Guelph, Nestoruk, 21, wants “to get involved with environmental awareness campaigns” after she graduates. If your school or community group is interested in having her make a presentation or wants more information email Tanya.nestoruk@live. ca or call 705-653-0687.

Hoag says his â&#x20AC;&#x153;keenest interest within art lies at the intersection of representational and abstract imagery.Â This is where the recognizable and banal forms of every day life can be innovatively recombined

Entertainment - Campbellford - Gary Hoag loves radio and has since he was 10 years old. The CKOL announcer is also an artist, and is currently exhibiting four of his works as part of Pop-Up Art in Warkworth, at 27Â Main St. Hoag recently celebrated his first anniversary as the host of the Red Rocket Radio Show on CKOL. The show is an eclectic mix of jazz, classic rock, R & B and soul (among other genres). A photographer since the late 1970s, he started painting in the early 2000s. His favourite subject matter, he says, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;the artistic collision between the natural and the built environments,â&#x20AC;? which he fashions into abstract imagery in awardwinning photographs. Hoag then chooses certain of his photographs to do large-scale blowups, mostly on paper. His materials includeÂ everything from acrylics, house paint, to ground up chalk, as well as liberal amounts ofÂ metal leaf.Â The radio host and artist has exhibited his photographs numerous times in Toronto, and recently as part of the Spirit of the Hills exhibit at the Warkworth Maple SyrupÂ Festival last month. He says he would enjoy an exhibit of his paintings and photographs together, which he hopes to achieve in future. When asked to describe his art process, Hoag replies: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The natural and built environments are replete with the basic elements of graphic design and art. Light, line, colour and form simply abound, wherever we may look. Unfortunately, not many people actually see the visual richness surrounding us

Municipality hands out special award for group who saved badly wounded hunter By John Campbell

News – Hastings – Andrew Conte wouldn’t be alive today if it wasn’t for the quick thinking of his hunting buddies. The 43-year-old Trent Hills resident inadvertently shot himself in the chest last November while out hunting and would have bled to death had his friends not got him medical help as swiftly as they did, despite being deep in the woods north of Madoc. An eyewitness account of how they managed the feat was the highlight of the evening at the fifth annual Trent Hills Civic Awards Ceremony held last Friday. Conte’s rescuers were honoured with a special award presented by the municipality. The community is “incredibly proud of what you did,” CAO Mike Rutter told the group. In an interview after the awards Conte described what happened that morning on Nov. 4. It was the first day of hunting season and he was walking through the woods around 8:30 a.m. “trying to push deer” to where his friends were. While cutting through the swamp, he tripped and fell backward into the icy water. He let go of his 30-30 rifle and it struck a log, causing it to discharge. A bullet smashed through a couple of ribs on his right side and “blew a hole the size of a golf ball” when it exited

his back, Conte said. He radioed for help but feared the worst. “I figured that was it, I knew I was hit hard,” he said. “I thought my time was ticking, and it was. I lost three pints of blood.” Paul Battman was the first to arrive and he applied pressure to Conte’s wound. He alerted Scott Campbell how serious was the situation and said they needed a plan. What followed was described in a written account prepared by Campbell, the head operator at the municipality’s water treatment plant, that was read out at the Hastings Civic Centre by Rutter. Campbell said he radioed Shawn Murphy to call 911 and to ask for an ambulance and an helicopter. He instructed Tim Deschamps to go to Highway 62 to meet the paramedics. Campbell, Murphy and Will Orr then grabbed chainsaws to remove trees that had fallen across the bike trail to clear the way for the four-wheeler. Chris York got a truck and had it waiting at the clearing by the camp. Battman continued to apply pressure to Conte’s wound and hold his head out of the water while waiting for Charles Bennett to arrive. The two of them got their friend out of the marsh and Conte was able to walk 100 yards “before he had to lie down,” Campbell said. “When we got there Andrew looked pretty rough, very white and shaking.”

They strapped Conte onto the Suzuki with Murphy at the wheel; the others walked beside and behind the fourwheeler to make sure he stayed on. More help appeared on the scene with the arrival of three nurses – Jennifer Anthony, Catherine Jonas and Kim Sachs – all members of the Madoc volunteer fire department, who had been hunting in the area. Andrew Bennett drove the truck that carried Conte to where paramedics were waiting. He was put in the ambulance and then transferred to the helicopter and taken to Kingston General Hospital. “All (the) guys had a job (to do) and they did them well,” Campbell said, “and it all worked out.” What his eight friends did that day, with the help of the others, was “unbelievable,” Conte said. Their hunting camp is six kilometres off a maintained road and he was more than a kilometre into the bush when the accident happened. Conte, who spent eight days in intensive care, went back to work at Warkworth Institution in January. “I’ve got about a third of my right lung that may never come back,” he said. His brush with death hasn’t led Conte to reconsider his choice of pastimes. He’s never going to quit hunting, he said, but he’s “much more conscious” now about where he’s stepping.

Andrew Conte, centre, is surrounded by the people who saved his life last fall after a bullet ripped through his chest in a hunting accident. The combined efforts of his eight friends and three nurses – in back, l-r, Charles Bennett, Scott Campbell, Shawn Murphy, Chris York, Will Orr, Paul Battman and Andrew Bennett; in front, Jennifer Anthony, Catherine Jonas and Kim Sachs; absent is Tim Deschamps – earned them a special award by the Municipality of Trent Hills.

The special award was suggested by Councillor Bill Thompson who said the municipality should honor the men and women who saved Conte to “make them feel special because what they did

was downright heroic, and I couldn’t agree more,” Rutter said. After the presentation that drew a standing ovation, Conte thanked them once again for saving his life.

Anne of Green Gables gets ready to soar By Bill Freeman

Entertainment - Asphodel-Norwood – The curtain will soon rise on Norwood District High’s ambitious production of Anne of Green Gables, bringing to life Canada’s iconic sweetheart and the world she inhabited with spunk and gusto. “We’re a little nervous obviously with just two weeks left but things happen every day that make us feel a little better,” says NDHS guidance head Todd Murray, part of the directorial team guiding the production. “The kids are having fun and there are a lot of people involved. There’s just a lot going on setting this up,” Murray said during a vocal rehearsal last week under the supervision of lead director Tracey Irwin and NDHS graduate and Wall of Honour member Debra Richardson-Edge, also a member of the acclaimed singing group The Lemmon Sisters. Murray’s not at all surprised by the talent and diversity of skills the 23-member cast and even larger production team. “That’s why we’re doing it, we knew we had the talent,” he said. The production has also tapped into the high school’s feeder schools with a number of elementary school students involved in the show. “They are doing an awesome job,” Murray said. The show includes two Annes, Taylor Pedersen

and Brittany Stewart, who’ll share lead roles during the production’s short run. “It’s been a team approach when it comes to directing,” says Murray, citing the work of Irwin, Aaron Stinchcombe, Mike Sherwin and RichardsonEdge. “It’s awesome that we’ve got Debra. It’s a huge team approach here.” The production includes six backdrops painted and assembled by students and teachers. Backstage there’s an army of volunteers who have to move Gables and its environs in and out several times during the show. NDHS principal Mary Lou Steinmann, who’s also involved in the show , said it’s been “really rewarding” watching the students blossom in so many different ways. “This is the sort of experience young people will never forget; when they look back on their high school years this is one of the things they’ll talk about,” said Steinman. “There’s so much that happens in a musical, so many skills are developed; they’re learning about singing, about acting and working with each other and the audience.” Steinman said those collaborative skills are something they’ll use offstage as well. Cast and crew are making friends from all parts of the school and that has been fun to watch, she added.

“This group has become really tight-knit and that last performance night they’re going to be feeling ‘I don’t want this to be over.’” She’s also proud of how welcoming everyone has been to the elementary students who are taking part. “When they finally arrive at NDHS they’ll feel a part of the school because of this experience.” Nolan Fluke is one of those Grade 7 students and he already feels like he’s a member of the school community. “Now I pretty much know everybody when I walk through the hallways,” he said. “I’ve enjoyed my experience. When it’s over it’s going to be pretty sad because it’s much more fun to come over here than to walk straight home.” “It’s fun to act, I like being in plays. I’m not much good at singing but it’s still fun.” The play runs April 10 to 12. For ticket information call 705-639-5332.

Y O U ’ D W H AT ? !

A patient story brings heartwarming reality to hospital board News – Quinte West – Some stories are heartwarming, some upsetting. Stories told about patients in hospital care can be both. “They help us remain grounded in what we do,” said Steve Blakely, chair of the board for Quinte Health Care. This story is about an 80-year-old woman who lived alone and was admitted to the hospital. She had no relatives nearby. “She was in the ER about 80 visits over two years for various things,” Blakely said. “She had frequent falls, limited mobility.” She spent a year in the hospital. Sometimes she demonstrated anger, and then sunk into a deep depression over life’s changes. Once she had a home, a family, a husband. The hospital contacted her daughter to help. Although the woman was determined to go back to her house, it was determined she was better off in longterm care (LTC). She was discharged from the hospital after a bed became available for her. This is one of the stories about Alternate Level of Care (ALC) provided by the hospital. “There is a general consensus that care of individuals with dementia and delirium is a growing global concern,” chief nursing officer and vice-president of patient services Katherine Stansfield stated in her report to the board. The Alzheimer’s Society estimates that 9,000 people over the age of 65 in the South East Local Health Integration Network (SELHIN) in 2012 had dementia. “In QHC the single most contributing barrier to dis-

charge home is complex behaviour,” Stansfield said. “Alternate Level of Care patients with the longest stay are those with complex behaviours as they most often must wait for a limited number of secure beds in Long Term Care before they are able to be discharged.” Patients in hospital settings frequently experience an increase in complex behaviours due to noise, activity, unfamiliar settings and the effects of their physical condition, such as infections. When the physical conditions are resolved, the behavioural conditions remain or become worse, making return home a challenge. Quinte Health Care is establishing a Behavioural Support Services Transition Unit (BSSTU) with 20 beds for patients with challenging behaviour who are living at home or in hospital or long-term care. These patients must be amenable to a rehabilitation program with an ultimate goal of discharge. This has been supported by SELHIN. The likely location would be in the Sills Wing of Belleville Hospital on the fourth floor, originally designed for complex care. “The architectural design is consistent with the need to provide barrier-free ambulation for patients while providing the ability to protect and monitor wandering,” Stansfield said. The proposed unit has physician support and a plan for funding and providing medical services. A dedicated geriatric psychiatrist and case manager will be provided from Providence Care’s regional program. The cost of renovating the unit and adding furniture and equipment is an estimated $480,174, which is to funded from the 2014/15 operational budget.

Pancakes for the playground By Judy Backus

R0012626957

Lifestyles - Marmora - Members of the local Pentecostal and Free Methodist Churches worked together for the fourth consecutive year to host a very successful pancake breakfast which was enjoyed by more than 125 people. The feast, held at the Community Centre on March 29, included pancakes, sausages, fruit, and juice along with tea or coffee. It was a great start to the weekend and

involved many parishioners as well as the Pastors of both churches, Alvin Peddle and Will Keller. All the food was donated by local businesses and organizations at no cost to the churches and, as in the past, the proceeds from the event will stay in the community. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s profit was a handsome $1000 which will be donated towards the purchase of new playground equipment for Memorial Park.

Mary Clemenger and Joan VanVolkenburg were kept busy serving pancakes and sausages to a crowd which included Jean Shannon, and numbered over 125 during a March 29 breakfast held by members of the local Pentecostal and Free Methodist Churches to support the purchase of new playground equipment for Memorial Park.
