Cramahe business Jebco proves Canadian innovation alive, thriving By John Campbell Colborne – Jebco Manufacturing is Cramahe Township’s “Business of the Year” for the third time in a decade. Mayor Marc Coombs made the announcement at the annual awards ceremony held April 1 at the Ontario Agri-Food Venture Centre, which was recognized as “New Business of the Year.” The two are “key components to Cramahe building a strong economy in the years to come,” he said. Jebco general manager Scott Larsen told the small gathering that the manufacturer of original equipment components for recreational vehicles “closed in on $50 million in sales” last year and is “right on course” to reach $50 million by 2020. “We compete on a world level,” he said, with the company’s biggest competitors being located in China and Taiwan. Jebco has remained competitive globally by investing in technology. Cramahe Township Mayor Marc Coombs presented Jebco Manufacturing general manager Scott Larsen and vice-president Lance Alton the company’s It spent more than $10 million on third Business of the Year award in a decade.

facility on King Street East in 2015. “We have a lot of robots, a lot of very complicated machines,” Larsen said. Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi said Jebco’s success is “refreshing after hearing a lot of doom and gloom” about Canada’s economy. He praised the company for having faith in this country and remaining local, and “not moving to Mexico or Missouri…” for cheaper labour. He said governments spend too much time trying to recruit new industry while ignoring what’s already here, so “kudos to you.” Cramahe Mayor Marc Coombs said “it’s important to recognize the achievements of local businesses and the important contribution they make to our local economy.” Jebco won in 2006 and 2007. Larsen said in an interview that 99 per cent of the aluminum parts it manufactures goes into all-terrain vehicles and snowmobiles, with the remainder for the automotive industry.

“We’ve had double digit growth every year since ‘04,” he said, and the company needed to increase its capacity last year to handle orders for 15 to 20 new components. By investing in CNC (computer numerically controlled) equipment, including “one of the most advanced machining centres in the world,” the company has reduced its workforce from 120 down to 80 over the past five years and doubled its sales, Larsen said. The highly sophisticated machine, which handles multiple automated tasks in seconds, can turn out 150 pieces per hour, whereas the output for a conventional CNC machine is eight to

10 pieces, he said. Jebco’s hydro bills are “in the neighbourhood of $50,000 a month, that’s one of our biggest costs,” he said. “Ontario hydro is very expensive.” Dan Borowec, Northumberland’s director of economic development and tourism, said Jebco is “one of the many hidden gems” to be found in Eastern Ontario that quietly go about their business “and being successful,” creating jobs in the community, Jebco has undergone a series of expansions in recent years. It started out as a 7,000-square-foot tool-and-die shop in the mid-1960s and has grown to 50,000 square feet, with more than a third of its growth taking place last year.

Fire destroys Longreach Road home By Joyce Cassin Brighton - A Brighton family is homeless after fire destroyed the residence at 184 Longreach Road late Thursday morning. A call came into the Brighton Fire Department firehall during a mock emergency exercise at around 11:15 saying the house was fully engulfed. When firefighters arrived on scene, flames were shooting out of the roof, from the basement and through main floor windows. Not knowing whether anyone was

home at the time had firefighters appearing helpless, but a neighbour, Jean House, who called the fire in, said “if the white car isn’t in the driveway, then no one is home.” A look of relief came over Fire Chief Lloyd Hutchinson’s face. There were two vehicles in the driveway, and fortunately none of them was the white family car. Within an hour, the house was almost totally burned with just a small portion of the walls near the south end of the home still standing. The home belonged to Tawnya Du-

bois and Michael Walmsley, who built the home and moved in a few winters ago. A damage estimate is not available at this time. Both Brighton fire halls responded to the call along with one truck from Trent Hills. One Brighton truck was unable to be driven to the scene. The mechanic was seen

working on the truck outside the south fire hall during the time of the fire. In the days following the devastating fire, it was learned a family pet died in the fire. While the family had in-

surance, it is estimated the loss of the home is valued at more than $250,000. Micheal Walmsley built the home a few years ago as a family home for he, his wife and children.

Property owner forced to move, shrink boardwalk built without a permit By John Campbell Brighton -- A landowner who built an unauthorized 350-metre boardwalk over provincially signiﬁcant wetlands on Presqu’ile Bay pleaded guilty in court to interfering with wetlands. The charge was laid last year by Lower Trent Conservation, which

opened a ﬁle on the illegal wood structure in 2013 after receiving calls about it from the public. “There was quite an investment,” said LTC watershed science and services manager Janet Noyes. Work on moving and reconstructing the boardwalk “according to our guidelines” was begun before the

guilty plea was entered. “We’ve been monitoring [the situation] over the winter, Noyes said. “We’re quite happy with the progress that has been made on the property.” The boardwalk now has “a much smaller footprint,” she said. It’s “a bit shorter [and its] width has been reduced signiﬁcantly” from when it was “eight to 10 feet” across, she said. It had been resting on vegetation as well but is now raised to “Lake Ontario ﬂood elevation, in the event of high water.” The boardwalk on the south-east side of the bay had also crossed “a few properties”

but now sits entirely on the property owner’s land, Noyes added. Development activities of any kind in environmentally sensitive areas such as wetlands, watercourses or shorelines require a permit from Lower Trent Conservation to ensure they do not cause ﬂooding or erosion problems or aggravate existing problems. Environmental impacts are also considered before a permit is issued. The agency issues about 170 permits a year. “That’s our point we’re trying to get across, come and talk to us about what you want to do and we can work together to try [to get it done],” Noyes said. “There are some things we just don’t allow ... but maybe we can work with you on some of your ideas,” so that they’re carried out properly and have the least impact on ecological and hydrological functions of the feature being protected.

The restrictive measures are also in place to protect the life and property of people, she pointed out. Lower Trent deals with roughly 20 violations annually. “We try to work with landowners as much as we can, and try to come to a resolution” that is “amenable to everybody” before having to pursue legal action, Noyes said. Another property owner also pleaded guilty in court recently to unauthorized tree and vegetation removal and site grading in a small wetland near Tremur Lake in Quinte West. A $1,000 ﬁne was levied in that case, Noyes said. Anyone seeking information about environmentally sensitive features on a particular property prior to purchase or development activities can submit a property inquiry online at www.ltc. on.ca or call Lower Trent Conservation to discuss a proposal at 613-3944829.

Agri-food venture centre New Business of the Year in Cramahe Township

By John Campbell

Colborne – Cramahe Township’s “New Business of the Year” is the Ontario Agri-Food Venture Centre formally opened last summer by Premier Kathleen Wynne. The $2.4 million facility, built with federal, provincial and municipal funding, “is the first of its kind in Ontario,” a not-for-profit small-batch food processing centre “that encourages innovation and entrepreneurship in order to support and advance a sustainable regional local food economy,” the township stated at an awards ceremony held

April 1 at the centre. Its creation “really has been a game changer in the community,” providing an opportunity for local businesses “to showcase their product” and grow, Northumberland-South Peterborough MP Kim Rudd said. Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi said the centre has caused “a little bit [of] envy” in places he’s visited in southern Ontario along with a desire to build something like it. Northumberland CAO Jennifer Moore said the facility “is a good example” of how the county can achieve the vision it set out in its People, Part-

nership, Possibilities Strategic Plan for 2015-2019. It partnered with Cramahe to acquire federal and provincial funding and worked with organizations and businesses within the county to make it happen. Dan Borowec, director of economic development and tourism for Northumberland, said in an interview to expect “some good news announcements about new businesses coming forward,” with the help of the centre. It currently has 15 to 20 clients with many more prospects showing interest in making use of its food testing, preparation and storage capabilities as well

as its packaging and custom labelling. “The variety is significant,” he said, citing soups and sauces as a couple of examples. “It’s a real nurturing activity,” Borowec said. “We’re constantly doing market outreach to try to attract new business but at the same time we’re trying to ensure we have the capacity to do it.” He said the county is still underwriting a “significant amount” of the cost it takes to operate the centre. “We’re starting to approach about 40 per cent capacity,” he said. “We thought it’s going to take us three years

to try to get to a revenue point where we can offset the majority of costs and we seem to be on track for that ... It takes a while to build a market.” The county is not looking for a handful of permanent clients to use up all the facility’s capacity. “All we are then is just landlords,” Borowec said. “What we really need is people [coming] in, out with ideas,” for new products or to add value to what they already grow in surplus. The centre employs one full-time person, operations manager Joe Mullin, and a crew of eight trained part-time staff on contract.

Martinello walks out of special meeting By Joyce Cassin Brighton - Fifteen minutes before the start of a special Brighton council meeting called by the mayor to deal with the hiring of a CAO, Coun. John Martinello said he received the agenda. “When I checked the Municipality of Brighton meetings website at approximately 10 p.m., Monday, that is less than 12 hours before the start of the meeting - the agenda for this meeting had not yet been posted to the MoB meetings website”, he said. The bylaw for special meetings requires 48 hours notice to the public, while regular meetings require 72 hours notice. There was also a regular Commit-

tee of the Whole meeting added to the municipal meetings calendar scheduled for Thursday, March 31, which was subsequently cancelled. Before Tuesday’s meeting began, all council members were asked to sign a confidentiality agreement, and Martinello refused. “I refused for two reasons. First, it is my clear understanding that issues discussed in closed sessions of council must remain confidential, so there should be no need to sign. Second, I will not sign any document unless I have a complete understanding of how my signature on that document impacts my rights and obligations as a representative of Brighton taxpayers.” He said the meeting agenda was

Rotary Club of Brighton Newsletter for March 2016

approved, with him in opposition. Couns. Steve Baker and Laura Vink did not attend. After he voted against accepting the agenda, he left the meeting. “I believe it is unreasonable that members of Council received an agenda 15 minutes prior to the start of a meeting. I also believe it is unreasonable that the public and press were informed about a meeting, especially about an issue as important and high-profile as recruiting for a CAO, at substantially the same time that the meeting started. I could not, in good conscience, participate in a meeting that I had good reason to believe contravened very basic accountability and transparency requirements of Section 4.8 of the Brighton Procedural Bylaw.”

Over the years, we have seen many Rotary Exchange students pass through Brighton - some as Visiting (In-Bound) and some as Out-Bound. And, it is always a pleasure to see what they become later in life. This past month, we had Malte (Hans) Knaut, one of these In-Bound students from 2005, visit us. He now has a Masters in Mechanical Engineering and just completed a 6 month adventure in Yellowknife doing volunteer work. Talking about the students, our own Breighanna Brown is doing well in her out of country venture and of course, Lea Habertidz, our Swedish student, continues with the new ventures that winter has brought her here in Canada. We are also pleased to announce that the two new Out-Bound 2016-17 students will be Jacie Steeves and Stephanie Shakura. At Brighton Public School, the new EarlyAct program for the younger students, has gotten off to a great start and in fact, had a very successful Food Drive this past month. Over at ENSS, Rotary’s InterAct program for the high school kids will wrap up the end April as school activities are on the rise. Hat day is coming up to raise funds for Threads and the Food Bank. It is so fantastic to see our youth being involved at an early age in giving back to the communities. Locally, we are having our first ever “Rotary Spelling Bee” contests at Spring Valley PS and Smithfield PS in April with the winners of these two schools advancing to the finals in early May. Sadly, we could not get a volunteer teacher at Brighton PS to assist us in this completion. Also at ENSS, we are looking for students to participate in the annual Camp Enterprise. The program helps students learn about being an entrepreneur through team building activities, games and role play. It is a busy few days that also involve the students having direct contact with many business owners. We have some fundraising activities that we need your help with and hope, as always, that the community will support us. On Monday, June 20th we will be hosting our annual golf tournament. If you want to put a team in or just want to make a donation by being a sponsor, please contact Jim Waterhouse. Right now, we are busy promoting our “Diner and Duffers” booklets are in – these booklets offer significant discounts at local restaurants and attractions so track down a Rotarian and ask for one. And, do set aside, Nov. 12 – this year, we are not doing our traditional auction but instead

looking at a comedy night with small auction and dinner. Remember…it is initiatives like this that allow us to do good work in our community and internationally. Later this fall, on Sept. 11; our Club will be hosting the annual District 7070 “Foundation Walk”. The background work is coming along very well. We are even considering a small car rally for those who don’t want to walk. That would be a first! One of our March speakers was Gem Munro from Amarok Society whose aim is to have women from the poor areas of town, teach their own local children’. Working from the centre of the family out and using accelerated learning methods, mothers come to understand and value education – learn how to create a positive learning environment for children, and they come to make better decisions in many areas for their families. Mothers report that they can now make better sense of their world and have become more highly valued within their own homes and in their community as they disprove old, backward attitudes about the limitations and suitable role of women.

The improvements in the women’s abilities and circumstance dramatically improve every aspect of slum life overall. Rotarian Dan Thompson thanking our guest speaker Gem Munro from the Amarok Society. The other speaker this month was Steve Sinclair from Friends Of Presqu’ile (FOPP) who spoke to us about the Friends who work on environmental initiatives and education. They are currently working on the project to re-estalish connectivity (severed by the road) for species at risk (turtles). A nesting ground was developed for the turtles as well as tunnels under the road to get them safely across. Steve also gave a little history on Presqu’ile as well and learned that it was once an island. Cars used to come right onto the beach to enjoy the day and it was almost called NewCastle. We presented our cheque for $25,000 for the FOPP project. This money came from the Henry Hayes donation proceeds from 2014.

He said he believes there are too many closed meetings and too many longstanding and unresolved questions that have been brought forward by Brighton taxpayers. “In my view, these closed meetings and unresolved questions erode taxpayers’ confidence in council’s actions, and although I understand that the issue of recruiting for a CAO has dragged on for the better part of a year, I do not believe that recruiting for a CAO ranks as an emergency, like a fire or flood, that justifies or requires waiving the requirements of the Brighton Procedural Bylaw. Deputy Mayor Brian Ostrander said that council actually received notice of the meeting on March 15, and it was unfortunate the agenda wasn’t made available to councilor the public earlier.

“While staff make every effort to make this information available in a timely fashion that was not able to happen for this meeting” Ostrander said. “The business of the meeting was, in my opinion too important and timely to put off to another date. I therefore, voted in favour of approving the agenda and carrying on with the community’s business.” Council meets again in closed session on April 6 and 12 at 8 a.m..

Driver ditches vehicle twice in one icy day East Northumberland – A Brampton-area driver twice lost control of his vehicle and slid into the ditch while travelling in icy conditions March 25 on Highway 401. He went off the road in the Brighton area and then did the same in the Cobourg area. In both cases he required the services of a tow company services. The driver was uninjured in both instances. Representatives from a rental company requested police assistance in re-claiming their generators from a Cramahe Township property March 31. Officers stood by while the machines were collected without incident. A Brighton senior called Northumberland OPP after being contacted by a company offering to ‘fix’ his computer. He recognized the call as a fraud and did not co-operate or provide personal information. No money was lost.

An attempted break-in at a home on Richmond Street in Brighton sometime during the day was reported March 30. Police are investigating. Police responded to a domestic dispute at a Campbellford home March 29. A female was charged with spousal assault. A car caught fire on Highway 401 near the Smithfield overpass. Brighton Fire Department put out the fire. The suspected cause was an electrical malfunction. A teenage couple contacted police for assistance when they were overtaken by a storm while out walking on County Road 35 in the former Seymour Township at 5 a.m. March 28. Officers located the young couple and took them home. Police responded to a domestic dispute in Campbellford March 27. The male partner was charged with spousal assault and three counts of mischief under $5,000.

OPINION

Is it time to raise the Sunshine List bar?

What would a Syrian peace deal look like?

After the Syrian army recaptured the city of Palmyra from Islamic State a week ago, US State Department spokesman John Kirby admitted that the liberation of the ancient city was a “good thing”. But he could not resist adding: “We‘re also mindful, of course, that best hope for Syria Gwynne Dyer the and the Syrian people is not an expansion of [President] Bashar al-Assad‘s ability to tyrannize the Syrian people.” This was entirely in line with the long-standing US policy of seeking to destroy both Islamic State and the Syrian government (i.e. the Assad regime) at the same time. But that was never more than wishful thinking, especially as the United States was quite sensibly determined not to commit its own ground troops to the conflict. If the Syrian army actually had collapsed (as was looking quite likely before the Russians intervened to save it last September), nothing could have prevented Islamic State and the rival Islamist forces of the Nusra Front from taking the whole country. They might then have fought each other for control, but all of Syria would have ended up under extreme Islamist rule. But the opposite is not true. The revival of the Syrian army, and even its reconquest of Palmyra, does not mean that the Assad regime can destroy Islamic State, let alone regain control of the whole country. Nor does Russia have any intention of helping President Assad to pursue such an ambitious goal, as Moscow made clear by withdrawing most of the Russian combat aircraft from Syria two weeks ago. Russia’s strategy has been more modest and realistic from the start. It was to restore the military stalemate that had persisted until the spring of 2015, and to convince the remaining non-Islamist rebel groups that they had no chance of somehow riding to power on the coat-tails of an Islamist victory over the Assad regime. This hope was as delusional as the American policy in Syria. By mid-2015 between 80 per cent and 90 per cent of the Syrian rebels actively fighting the Assad regime belonged to Islamic State or to al-Qaeda’s Syrian franchise, the Nusra Front, and its Islamist allies in Ahrar al-Sham. Moreover, the remainder of the rebels, the non-fanatics or so-called “moderates” were mostly allied to the Nusra Front.

This curious alliance came to pass mostly because the Nusra Front wanted to avoid the American and “coalition” bombs that were falling on Islamic State. So it created a broader alliance called the “Army of Islam” that wrapped these small “moderate” groups around the Islamist core, and the United States fell for it. Or at least American propaganda fell for it. The Russians cheerfully bombed all these forces indiscriminately, making no distinction between Islamists and the allies of Islamists. The United States ritually condemned the attacks on the latter groups (always described as “moderates”), and the Russians cheerfully ignored that too. And after five months, when most of the “moderates” had been persuaded that they were never going to gain power through an alliance with the Islamists, Moscow proposed a ceasefire that would include the “moderates” but exclude the Islamists. That ceasefire has now been in effect for almost a month. The negotiators for these moderate groups are still demanding the departure of Assad from power as the price of a permanent ceasefire. They haven’t a prayer of getting such a sweet deal, but the Russians are putting pressure on Assad to come up with a formula of words, however vague, that will persuade them to accept amnesty and come in from the cold without losing too much face. The Islamists, although largely surrounded and blockaded, will not be defeated any time soon by military force, but they are growing weaker and may fall to fighting among themselves. And the Syrian Kurds, the only American allies on the ground in Syria, will probably manage to hold on to the long strip of territory they control along the border with Turkey. However, they may have to settle for being an “autonomous province” within Syria if they wish to avoid a Turkish invasion. President Vladimir Putin’s goal was to isolate the Islamists and reconcile the rest of the rebels with the Assad regime, and it is well on the way to accomplishment. It will not be a happy ending for any of the groups involved in the Syrian civil war, but it is the least bad outcome that can now be realistically imagined. It will not put an end to all the fighting on Syrian territory. Not all the refugees will want to come home to such a country, and the terrorism abroad will continue. But then, it would continue even if Islamic State disappeared. You don’t need a state to plan terrorist attacks. When no decisive victory is possible for any side, it makes sense to stop as much of the shooting as possible.

Editorial - Chris Malette It’s that time of year when many of us revel in peeking at our neighbours’ pay cheque. The full disclosure season for public employees is under way and plenty of us race to web links to suss out who among us is making more than $100K a year on the public dime. But, is it time we raised the bar on the amount reported in the public naming of those who, let’s face it, likely aren’t comfortable having their payday details aired online one click away from the naked porn stars? Many, year-in and year-out, are agog at the salary listed for Quinte Health Care chief executive officer Mary Clare Egberts. It was, for the record, $384,703.90 for 2015. The salary was recently made public as a result of the Ontario Public Salary Disclosure Act. The Act ensures that all public sector employees earning $100,000 or more in a year have their salaries made public. As we reported in a story in this week’s edition and online on our web page insidebelleville.com provides links to other local payroll accounts, Egberts’ salary makes her the highest paid public servant in the Quinte area. She’s also one of 104 QHC employees on the list, also known as the “Sunshine List.” Another notable health care official, Paul Huras, the CEO of the Southeast Local Health Integration Network, earned $331,945.47 in 2015. And on and on they go – dozens of college teachers, sorry, professors, pulling down six figures when many of us can only hope to hit those numbers, perhaps with a little luck on the 6/49. The Sunshine List was created by Ontario’s Public Sector Disclosure Act, which was passed back in 1996 by the Progressive Conservative government of Mike Harris. It was meant to serve as a check on payroll spending, with the Harris government often pointing to the list as justification for spending cutbacks it was proposing. When it was first rolled out – to monstrous fanfare and, in some corners, outrage that it was being reported at all – there were all of 4,576 names on the list. Today there are tens of thousands on the list. Premier Kathleen Wynne mused about raising the limit to somewhere closer

to today’s inflation rate from the original $100K back in 2013, but never did. Critics, many of them representing unions of public servants, police, teachers and the like, say it’s time the list threshold was changed. For one thing, they say, the $100,000 limit has never been adjusted to take inflation into account. If that had been done back in 1996, the threshold this year would have been about $142,000. Where $100,000 was considered a significant dividing point back in 1996, taking in Crown corporation CEOs and department directors, it’s now low enough to capture large numbers of public employees, including hydro workers, nurses, teachers, transit workers, firefighters and police. “The cost of living has changed in the last decades and so must the Sunshine List,” Mike McCormack, who heads the Toronto Police Association, wrote in a recent in The Toronto Sun. “We feel this list, which may have had value 20 years ago, is no longer relevant and unfairly targets our members.” Warren (Smokey) Thomas, president of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union, said he doubted it would ever happen. “It’s such a political hot potato,” he observed. He’s probably right and there is broad support for keeping it at $100,000. Christine Van Geyn is Ontario director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation and believes absolutely it should remain at $100,000. “I don’t think they should raise the limit,” she old CBC News. “When you consider that the average household salary is $73,000, $100,000 for one person is still a lot of money.” A lot of us know, personally, many of the cops, firefighters, nurses and teachers on those lists. Too, a lot of them worked damn hard to get to a station in their career to earn that kind of coin. Others, arguably, should rightfully be thanking their decision to cadge a job in that lucrative sector of the public service that allows them to live very, very comfortably, thank you very much, with benefits to match. Should we raise the bar? Depends on which side of the bar you reside, one would suppose. Without it at $100,000, how else would we tut-tut the waste, all the while muttering about our neighbour and his new boat and motorcycle?

Brighton’s Own: Spreading wellness for mind, body, soul By Victor Schukov Gail Ellis is originally from South Africa. After travelling extensively, she finally settled in Brighton where in her own words, “it is a safe community. People are friendly and generous in volunteering to help their neighbours.” Therein lies her nature as a community conscious motivator.

All our adult teeth first come together during our teenage years. Unfortunately, teeth don’t always know how to come together properly. For the most part, they fit together enough so that you can chew and eat. However, only 10 percent of the population is lucky enough to have upper and lower teeth that fit well together like a puzzle. Most people are not that lucky and their teeth must go through some type of adaptation in order to chew. If you belong to this group, you may experience the following symptoms:

The volunteerdriven program still exists and has expanded into both before and after school programs, summer camp and a day care, all under the same heading. In 2013, she brought her considerable skills to Community Care Northumberland (CCN) in Brighton where she is a Wellness Project Leader, facilitating accessible and affordable classes for a majority of the community. “Many people,” says Ellis, “are isolated, especially in the winter. We give people an opportunity to keep physically active, socialize, and learn a new skill or craft. Many clients are new residents to Brighton, so they can join our programs, a great way to meet people their age with similar interests. Mental and emotional fulfilment is as important as physical well-being.” The majority of the people they service are retirees, both young and old. However, no one of any age is denied access to the CCN workshops. All volunteers in the organization are firmly committed to the core values

CCN also runs a meals-on-wheels program in Brighton, Hospice Palliative Care support for caregivers and transportation for people who need to get to medical appointments. “In Brighton alone,” says Ellis, “200 local volunteers have provided over 18,000 hrs of service to their fellow citizens. We are always in need of reliable, caring drivers, who have a few hours to spare once or twice a week, and a reliable vehicle.” The numbers speak for themselves: In the county of Northumberland, in total, 950 volunteers have devoted 90,000 hrs, and 350 clients received hospice support in Northumberland County. In Brighton alone 97,000 km have been driven by volunteers, 6800 meals-on-wheels delivered; over 600 Brighton clients have participated in the wellness programs. Less inclined to talk about herself when asked, Gail Ellis instead defers to the mission statement of the organization she loves to work in: “We enable clients to experience a higher quality of life by strengthening their connections with the community. We strive to increase our ability to care for one another so that all individuals are able to receive the support that they need and are inspired to give back.” CCN is located at 46 Prince Edward Street Unit 13. 613-475 4190.

Shingles vaccine not free...yet By Joyce Cassin Northumberland - Despite an announcement in the provincial budget this year, the free shingles vaccine for seniors isn’t available just yet. In fact it won’t be available to seniors until Jan. 1, 2017. Some seniors have been asking where they can get it, and Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit manager of communicable disease control, Marianne Rock, says they simply don’t have any information yet. Dar Warner, constituency assistant to Northumberland Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi, said there is no information available at the moment. Rock did say that only seniors be-

tween the age of 65 and 70 would qualify for the free vaccine next year, and only if one does’t have allergies to the ingredients found in the vaccine. It’s not recommended for people under 60. Shingles can be a debilitating disease for many seniors and the pain can be excruciating, Rock said. And that’s why it’s so important to get the vaccine. Pain can last three months or more from the onset of the rash (Post Herpetic Neuralgia or PHN), and it happens to about 20% of adults. The prerequisite to contract shingles is that you must have had chicken pox when you were younger. The chicken pox virus lies dormant in your system and can be trig-

gered when illness occurs or one’s immune system is compromised, she said. It attacks one’s nerve-endings, leaving people in such pain that they can’t sleep or function normally for the duration. Getting shingles vaccine can reduce those symptoms immeasurably, she said. To the point that there is likely to be only slight pain and redness which doesn’t last long. Only some health units have the capability to store the vaccine, which has to be kept frozen until used, and many pharmacies that

do store it offer the shot in-store, she said. She recommends going to one’s healthcare provider for a prescription, and one can either pick it up and return to the doctor’s office immediately, or have it done at the pharmacy. The vaccine must be given right away, she said, or it is no good. And at the estimated cost of be-

tween $170 and $250, it’s best to have it done in the store. Rock says in order to avoid shingles later in life, it’s important to live a healthy lifestyle...lots of exercise, eating well, and get the proper amount of rest. For more information on a healthy lifestyle, visit the health unit’s website at www.hkpr.on.ca

Brighton developer up for housing awards By John Campbell Brighton – A local builder is up for two national awards for housing excellence. Gordon Tobey Developments Ltd. will find out if either of the homes it submitted, or both, is a category winner when the Canadian Home Builders Association holds its awards gala May 6 in Kamloops. “We’re just little people in a little pond here,” and to have two of the three homes the company entered make it to the final out of 700 applications the association received is “pretty good,” owner Stephen Tobey said. Canada has “the best houses in the world” and “we’re pretty proud” to be ranked among the best this country has to offer. It is “amazing,” added his wife Heather, who handles accounts. She was “just thrilled” that two of the three applications she prepared for submission was chosen for the final five in a category. Stephen said Tobey Developments has “easily [been] able to win awards at the provincial level” for the quality of its work but earning recognition nationally “is a much different scenario, you’re competing against very expensive homes in very expensive parts of the country and much bigger companies.” The Brighton builder has managed to

do it once before, in 2005. The two homes currently in the running for more awards are Hawthorn, a 1,675-square-foot production bungalow on Ontario Street designed for retirees with limited mobility, and Twisted Willow, a 2,995-square-foot custom-designed home built for a family of four. A base level Hawthorn costs about $500,000 to purchase, up to $625,000 if “all finished,” which, compared to prices for houses in Toronto, is “a steal,” Stephen said. The Twisted Willow has a price tag approaching the million-dollar mark. “We do a few family homes but I would say over 95 per cent are for retirees,” Heather said. “As a rule they’re coming from the GTA,” Stephen said, adding: “We do get customers from anywhere in Canada,” many returning “to their roots” in Brighton and Quinte West.

Here “they got the whole world at their doorstep, they don’t have the drudge and the grey of the city,” he said. Instead they have Presqu’ile Provincial Park, the beach, walking trails, “small town atmosphere,” and far less traffic. Also, “they want to become part of the community more than anything else in the world,” Stephen said. “That’s one of the biggest draws.” Since Tobey Developments was

started by his father, Gordon, in 1976, it has built close to 450 homes, in subdivisions that include Applewood, Harbour, and Mill Pond Woods, which has been but one unit left of 74 it set out to build. Its newest development, Hamilton Woods, is designed for 138 units. Stephen, an engineer by trade, is one of the company’s two in-house designers. The business employs four people in the office and 11 more on-site. It

also hires 50 to 60 tradespeople. “There’s a a real push on now in the housing industry to make houses as energy efficient as possible,” Stephen said, which his company strives to achieve by installing more insulation than is required by code, for example, and using triple-glazed windows. “We tend to do larger homes,” in an area encompassing Cobourg, Campbellford, Belleville and Picton, and a lot are on the waterfront, he said.

Search for Brighton CAO moving ahead By Joyce Cassin A special meeting called last Tuesday dealing with the recruitment of a new CAO for Brighton, had some residents taking to Facebook and Twitter expressing their displeasure about the lack of notice and secrecy and conspiracy theories. The meeting was posted on the municipal website, but without an agenda. There was also a meeting posted for Thursday, which was quickly cancelled. Deputy Clerk Vicki Kimmett read out a prepared statement that said she was overly busy, and with the decision to close the office early last Thursday, she simply forgot to post the meeting on the website. She said workloads have increased over the past year and she’s buried in paperwork and sometimes things fall

through the cracks. Brighton has been without a CAO since March 2015 and other senior management staff this past year. “Cancellation of the meeting would mean that applicants who were already prepared and enroute to Brighton would have to be told when they arrived that the interviews were cancelled and would be rescheduled,” she said. “It would also necessitate a return by the consultants as well, which would have meant increased expense because they would have to be paid.” Kimmett said sometimes common sense has to be used. “Sometimes a mistake is just a mistake,” she said. Mayor Mark Walas said the recruitment process is moving forward. “We completed interviews on Tuesday, the first round, and we’re looking forward to conducting another meeting

for the director of pubic works, this week also, and hopefully in the near future, council will be able to come forward with an announcement with respect to the recruitment process,” Walas said. He refused to provide the number of applicants. Elsewhere in Brighton council news: Chimney Swifts might get reprieve The Payday building on Prince Edward Street in Brighton has been home to a nesting pair of chimney swifts, but with coming of the proposed Mac’s Convenience store, their home is slated for demolition. It now appears they may have another chance to keep their home for a while longer. A letter from resident Dave Cutler reminded council that the agreement with Mac’s Convenience was to relocate

the chimney prior to netting season, the wastewater treatment system. which is coming up the end of April.

Sewing 101 Life Skills Club: Our first meeting was held at Fabricland in Belleville. Before we went to Fabricland we had decided that this project would be Pajamas pants. At Fabricland we looked around at different fabrics and learned which would be the best to make pajamas. We also looked at different styles of pajamas we could make and everyone picked out the one they preferred. We then found everything we needed to make the perfect pair of pajama pants. A HUGE thank you goes to the ladies at Fabricland.

At this Club we learned how to use the sewing machine, how to select and read a pattern, how to measure fabrics and fine tune the fit for our pajama pants. We did a measuring activity so

we would know what size to cut our fabric. Some members decided that they wanted buttonholes ribbon and others wanted elastic waist... We also, made a draw string bag; made from the extra fabric everyone had. At the last meeting we were provided 9 square blocks to sew together with a ¼” seam allowance all straight lines WE can do it!! Our Achievement Night was held at the Reed’s for a PJ Pant movie night with our project books to be submitted then. We wish to thank all the moms, dads, and grandmothers who helped with

this project. As reported by Sydney Summers 4-H Vet Club Our first Vet Club meeting was great! Today the Club held elections for various roles, such as President, Vice President, Secretary, etc. Being new to 4H, it is very exciting to have the roles of the News Reporter and Photographer. Our guest speaker was Dr. Nadia from the Foxboro Veterinary Clinic. Dr. Nadia spoke to us about basic animal care such as clipping nails, proper handling and assessing animal weight. This Club has many exciting topics and experiences to look forward to over the next few weeks! Our next meeting will be at the Open House at Foxboro Veterinary Hospital, Foxboro on March 20, from 11-3. Written by Tess Friar and Photography by Tara Winter

Supporting the community is what the Trinity St. Andrew’s United Church Clothing Depot group is all about, and this year, they sponsored two lanes during the annual Big Brothers Big Sisters Bowl for Kids Sake, a cost of $1,000. “Five hundred dollars covers the cost for one child for a lifetime of needs,” Clothing Depot representative Jean Finkle said. “We feel it’s important for children to have a mentor in their lives and agreed to sponsor two lanes.” She said next year they might even take part and bowl.

Campbellford – Pa Herford has a problem: his five girls are suffering from what he calls “The Hankerin‘.” That‘s not all. One of his daughters has fallen in love with a government man who wants to buy land the Herfords and the Guernseys have been fighting over for decades. Throw in a Black Widder who can fix up a love potion, newspaper editors in search of a scoop, the daffy Bickle sisters, and songs like “Thar’s a Guv’mint Man in the Holler” and “She Has Waaaayyys!” and you have yourself a musical, “The Hankerin‘ Hillbillies.” Students in grades 4 to 8 at St. Mary Catholic School will be performing the 75-minute show four times next week, at 1 and 7 p.m., April 13 and 14. Everyone is welcome. Tickets are $5 each ($2 for students from other

schools) and can be purchased in advance at the school or by calling 705-653-1370. The students, about 50 of them, have been rehearsing during lunch hours and after school since November, said the show‘s producer, Linda Carson, a Grade 1 teacher. Michelle Chesser, who also teaches Grade 1, is the director. The school stages a musical every year. “It‘s something the kids look forward to every year,” Carson said. “It‘s a big part of the school community.” Victoria Brunton, a Grade 6 student who plays Charlie Herford and is in her third show, said the “best part of doing a musical is hearing everybody doing their acting and singing, and [seeing their] happy faces when they are on stage.” Matthew Doherty (Pa Herford) said the rehearsals are “great fun.”

Syrian refugee family of four relocating to Trent Hills in next two months By John Campbell Campbellford – A family of four, fleeing the horrors of Syria, will soon make their way to Trent Hills to begin a new life in Canada. Sonny Lennon, co-chair of the Trent

Hills Community Refugee Initiative steering committee, said Monday the family, a man and a woman and their two children, one four years old, the other two months -- “will probably be here in the next month-and-a-half to two months.”

Tony Posthumus, executive director of Northumberland Youth Unlimited, a faith-based non-profit organization formerly known as Youth for Christ, spoke about the plight of Syrian refugees to students at Campbellford District High School April 4. The special assembly kicked off a week-long celebration of diversity organized by the school’s Social Justice League. All proceeds from the fundraising events will go to the Trent Hills Community Refugee Initiative. Photo by John Campbell

Romance under a full moon good for lots of laughs Continued from page 17 “It’s been a challenge,” especially working with “a really small stage” that less than 18 feet wide and just 16 feet deep. “It makes it interesting.” But the Barn’s intimate quarters – it seats about a hundred – is “small enough that people can hear everything,” Phelan said. The play is a farce that contains “a lot of exaggeration and over-the-edge type of jokes,” he said. “It gives everybody a chance to laugh at themselves,” some of whom will recognize in the behaviour of characters traits that resemble their own or those they see in others. “We hope that it will be well-received. It is another comedy but it is a little bit different from what we’ve

done before.” Rehearsals started in January, a little earlier than usual, as the show was moved up a week to avoid a conflict with East Northumberland Secondary School’s staging of Mary Poppins later in April. Opening night for the Barn’s production is April 15 with evening performances to follow April 16, 21, 22, 23, 29 and 30 at 8 p.m. Matinee performances will take place April 17 and 24 at 2 p.m. “Brighton audiences seem to react very well to comedies,” said Nikki Parks, the the play’s producer and a cast member. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at the Proctor House Museum when the box office is open, from 1 to 4 p.m., or by calling 613-475-2144.

Speaking at an assembly at Campbellford District High School organized by the school‘s Social Justice League, Lennon told the students the generosity of the community has been “simply amazing.” The volunteer group has collected enough furniture, clothing, bedding and other goods to fill a 52-foot trailer and raised more than $30,000, which he said will be “sufficient” to bring the refugee family to Canada and support them for a year. They currently live in Beirut, where they have stayed for more than a year after abandoning their home in Aleppo and then Damascus to escape the civil war which, in five years, has resulted in the deaths of at least 470,000 Syrians, according to the Syrian Center for Policy Research. Lennon said afterwards his committee has secured temporary shelter for the family in Hastings. Once they arrive, “It‘s up to us to enable them to go out to find lodgings that suits them ... it‘s their decision,” he said. “If they choose not to stay in the community, that‘s perfectly fine, we‘re giving them safety and shelter.” The father is an interior designer and the mother a journalist, and “they

speak a little English [and] a little French.” The support the committee has received from the community, including 200 donations of cash, has been “very gratifying,” Lennon said. He was “blown away” by the five days of events the Social Justice League has organized for this week to raise money for the Syrian refugees and to inform students about the suffering they endure. Tony Posthumus, executive director of Northumberland Youth Unlimited, spoke at the assembly about the horrific conditions that have forced millions of Syrians to seek shelter elsewhere. The humanitarian crisis includes terrorist attacks and their own government denying them access to food, shelter and health care. Their situation is “dire” and “people are experiencing some really terrible things.” Posthumus encouraged the stu-

HAIR SENSATIONS

dents to remember when they “read all the stuff” about how refugees “might affect your community” that they‘re people who want the same thing they do, a safe life, which they haven‘t had for years. Social Justice League member Carter Holmes said the talk by Posthumus was “a wakeup call” for the students to understand what refugees are going through. “They need help just as much as we would if we were in the same situation, so it‘s really important to us that we care for them and put as much as we can into helping them,” added Taylor Polich, another league member.

Golden Hawks dominating Kingston in series

By Erin Stewart Trenton – Heading into last night’s elimination game, the Trenton Golden Hawks were securely in the catbird seat in the series. The Hawks beat the Kingston Voyageurs 5-2 in game three of the NorthEast Conference Championship Series in Trenton on Sun. April 3 to set up last night’s match, that ended past our press time. More than 1,100 people filled the Duncan McDonald Memorial Community Gardens Sunday to watch the two top teams in the Ontario Junior Hockey League’s North-East showcase battle it out in a high intensity game. Trenton excelled on the penalty kill, not giving up a single goal in five chances and also on the power play, scoring three power play goals. The G-Hawks’ defence played an important role in the offence with defencemen Blayne Oliver and Adam Clements each chipping in a goal. Curtis Harvey scored the Hawks’ final goal after the Vees’ goalie had been pulled in the final minute. Hunter Fargey scored one goal and registered one assist and Lucas Brown scored one for the team as well. Trenton received assists from Brandon Marinelli, Kevin Lavoie and Josh

Allan, who each registered one assist, and Liam Morgan, Jordan DaSilva and Danny Hanlon each chipped in two. The Voyageurs struggled on the penalty kill, allowing Trenton to score three points on five power play chances. Kingston’s Austin Boulard and Matthew Lourenco each scored a goal for the Vees. Zachary Emelifeonwu, Jacob Hanlon, Colin Tonge and Ian Harris each contributed an assist. G-Hawks’ goalie Daniel Urbani made 26 saves for the Hawks and the Vees’ David Richer made 19 saves on 23 shots. Voyageurs assistant coach Mark Major said the third period seems to be the Vees Achilles heel throughout this series. “It’s a tale of two teams, we seem to come out pretty strong and pretty confident in the first two periods and then once the third comes around our minds start to go in a different direction, three times … and now we’re down 3-0,” Major said. Major said the G-Hawks’ power play goals and penalty kills are really hurting the Vees. “We gave up three tonight and that’s the difference in the hockey game,” Major said. “They’re good, they’ve been ranked number four for a long time in the country so you’ve got to

give them the credit, you can’t give a good team those opportunities.” Major said he thinks it has been a pretty even series excluding the third periods. He said it’s up to the 22 guys on the team to make it a series again and they’ve got a big mountain to climb now. G-Hawks’ Belleville native Fargey said the Hawks came out strong and excelled on their specialty teams but the game was very challenging. “They battle hard, they like to hit and everything, so it’s always a battle playing them, they keep the high intensity going so it’s just a battle all game long,” he said. Moving into Wednesday night’s game, Fargey said he’s hoping the G-Hawks “keep the tempo up, keep doing the little things, hopefully our specialty teams will help us out and hopefully Urbs (goalie Daniel Urbani) will stand on his head again for us.” G-Hawks coach Jerome Dupont said the team’s power play and penalty kill statistics spoke for themselves, but he didn’t think the Hawks played a good game. “I didn’t think we played very well but it’s nice to get a contribution from the defense in terms of goals,” Dupont said.

Dupont said Kingston put up a very challenging game and knows they will be bringing all they have to the next game as they face elimination. “Today was really hard, I can’t imagine this getting much harder than today,” he said. “We’re going to have to be so much better offensively than we were today.” Game four of the series is on Wed. April 6, at 7 p.m. in Kingston and if necessary, game five will be on Fri. April 8, at 7:30 p.m. in Trenton, game six Sun. April 10, at 2:30 p.m. in Kingston and game seven Mon. April 11, at 7:30 p.m. in Trenton. Game 1 recap: The Trenton Golden Hawks bounced back from a slow start to win the first game of the North-East Conference Championship Series 6-4 over the Kingston Voyageurs on Wed. March 30, in Trenton. The score was 4-4 going into the third period. The G-Hawks took a lead in the third and Hawks’ goalie Urbani did not allow any more goals on net, resulting in the 6-4 win.

Conservation authorities issue flood warnings as water levels rise

By Stephen Petrick

Quinte Conservation and Lower Trent Conservation issued flood warnings earlier this week due to high flows and water levels in rivers throughout the region. And in Belleville municipal officials were paying particular attention to water levels in the Moira River near Foxboro, which were expected to peak Monday or Tuesday. The river was exceptionally wide in areas north of Highway 401 and water was approaching homes along River Road in Belleville’s Thurlow ward on Monday, but no sandbag walls had been erected and few homes appeared to be an imminent risk of damage. Quinte Conservation Water Resources Manager Christine McClure said Sunday, “in the Moira River system the flows in the northern region, such as Actinolite and Tweed, have peaked. The Moira River at Foxboro should peak in the next couple of days. The Napanee and Salmon Rivers are approaching their peaks and will remain high for an extended period of time.” McClure added, “Residents who regularly experi-

ence spring flooding should be prepared. There is the potential for low-lying areas to be flooded and some structures could also be flooded. Those in flood-prone areas may experience basement flooding. Some roads may be affected by flooding. The flooding will not be as severe as it was in 2008 and 2014.” Peak flows for the Moira River at Foxboro could reach up to 235 cubic metres per second. The peak flow in 2014 was 316 cubic metres per second. Quinte Conservation staff will be monitoring conditions closely. The public can keep up to date on flooding information by visiting www.quinteconservation.ca or following @quinteca on Twitter. Quinte Conservation reminds residents to be extremely cautious about changing conditions along rivers, creeks, and streams. Stream banks will be slippery and treacherous. Dams and other water control structures should be avoided at all times due to strong currents. Even water in ditches and near culverts can be dangerous. Residents should take care to monitor their sump pumps and ensure they are

Four new minors join case against teacher By Stephen Petrick Belleville – A Hastings & Prince Edward District School Board teacher who’s facing numerous sexrelated charges is expected to return to court on May 12, where six new charges are expected to be brought forward involving four additional minors. A remand hearing for Jaclyn McLaren was held in the Consolidated Court of Justice in Belleville on March 31. McLaren was not present, but lawyer Pieter Kort representing her requested the new court date, which was agreed to by Justice Chris Peltzer. The delay allows both the Crown and defence team to gather more information before going to trial. McLaren, 36, who’s also known as Jackie Jones, was charged with 36 counts of sex crimes, involving four minors, by Ontario Provincial Police in February. The new charges bring the number of chargers up to 42 and the number of alleged victims to eight. She previously appeared at a bail hearing Feb. 19 and was released into the custody of her parents. McLaren at that time was charged with three counts of making child pornography and one count of making sexually explicit material available to children.

She was also recently charged with four counts each of sexual assault on a person younger than 16, sexual interference with a person younger than 16 and making an invitation to sexual touching involving a person younger than 16. A ban on publication has been ordered to protect the identities of the complainants, several boys who were believed to have been students at the time of the alleged incidents. Kerry Donnell, a spokesperson for the school board, said McLaren is still an employee of the school board, but “she’s not currently working at a school.” While police continue to investigate the alleged crimes, the school board is also conducting its own internal investigation, the details of which Donnell would not reveal. McLaren recently worked at Tweed Elementary School, located in the community where the incidents are alleged to have occurred, and Harry J. Clarke School in Belleville. Donnell said the school board is supporting students impacted by this case, noting that counselors are being made available. “Child and youth counsellors are always available and they’re deployed to the school at a moment’s notice,” she said.

have been under way for several weeks, with the show set to run in the Pinnacle Playhouse June 2-18. Close to 40 actors on stage, ages eight to 80, are involved plus a full pit band, led by local musician Tom Dietzel. Seasoned director Dave Kidd is at the helm, backed up by Moira Forrester for vocal work and Amy-Lyn Vondersele for the colourful choreography and a small army of other specialists for props, costumes and set. Most of the cast are seasoned veterans, but this production will introduce a wealth of new talent spanning a radius of 50 kilometres or more. That includes Sally McCrae as the female lead in the role of Marian, the librarian of River City, and the Rev. Brad Ford as the self-important mayor. Tim Fransky is the energetic lead male as Professor Harold Hill, the music man.

rural America. Prosperity and opportunity abounded. Almost any town big enough to have a post office had at least two or three trains a week stopping. It was the age of vaudeville and the ubiquitous barbershop quartet, provided by members of Belleville’s own Quinte chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society, A Cappella Quinte. This, in fact, was the first time such an ensemble had been written into a musical show as actual central characters, making the Buffalo Bills Barbershop ‘Quartet world famous as a result. A warm, fuzzy story line, rich in comedy and colour makes it an ideal family show. The songs, churched out by its creator, Meredith Willson, will be hummed and sung for weeks after – “Lida Rose,” “My White Knight,” “Gary Indiana,” and “Seventy-Six Trombones” among others. The railroads brought the traveling salesmen to River City, a town where residents are so stubborn they could stand “touching noses without seeing eye to eye.” It also brought skilled scammers, like Prof. Harold Hill, seeking to bilk the townspeople out of their money for a boys’ band, and a young and sophisticated librarian who finds a new chapter in her quiet life thanks to the intruder. The guild’s annual musical has a tradition of many sold out performances so audiences are advised to purchase tickets early for this rousing show.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Belleville casino could harm existing businesses: casino opponent Dear Editor, Following is a letter to council: Mayor Christopher and Council Members, I read with interest of your plans to proceed with building a casino in Belleville, along with the supportive statements from OLG officials and the Great Canadian Gaming Corporation (GCG). Unfortunately, much of what is being stated is untrue or slanted, while important facts and considerations in the public interest appear to be left out altogether. No one appears to be stepping in to set the record straight. From my own extensive work in the gambling field, please let me share a number of observations that I hope will be of interest to you. My review of OLG documents and typical revenue rates suggests that you are slated for a facility with 300 slots and 13 tables, which I estimate will generate in the order of $36 million, net of winnings, annually (if OLG believes these figures to be wrong, let it table numbers it maintains are correct). Revenues from your area will

contribute to a net increase projected in OLG’s Modernization Plan of $1.3 billion province-wide on top of the existing $4.8 billion net gambler loss. A casino means that the residents of your catchment area will redirect money that could have been otherwise spent in the local economy. Instead, it will go to OLG and the GCG, leaving behind 5.5 per cent for you, the “host” community. They take $34 million per year and your community gets $1.98 million of local money as a cash-back. In my view, that’s not a reasonable return on investment. Moreover, OLG and CGC never address what will happen to the local economy as a result of this substantial extraction. My research at the provincial level posits that most new gambling expenditures will be redirected from what Statistics Canada terms the “leisure and entertainment” sector. New money diverted to gambling will be lost revenue for your restaurants, sporting events, theatres, concerts, museums, and so on. Province-wide, the sector will be harmed to the tune

of losing about 11 per cent of its total revenue. In similar fashion, your local leisure and entertainment sector will lose a good chunk of the $36 million. As a result, employees will be let go and businesses will go under – you will undoubtedly hear from them as time goes on and their distress becomes apparent. But, OLG and GCG will tell you, they will hire local people and are a “job creator”. Let’s look at this claim a bit closer. I examined the number of employees across Ontario casinos per $1 million revenue, and compared it to the leisure and entertainment sector. The results aren’t good – leisure and entertainment employs 2.4 times as many people per $1 million revenue than do casinos. So, for every new casino job, look for 2.4 to be lost elsewhere in your local community. This is not a defensible economic development strategy, in my books. Rob Simpson  Chief Executive Officer of the Ontario Problem Gambling Research Centre, 2000 to 2010

School board reaches agreements with occasional teachers, support staff

The Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board reached tentative agreements with unions representing occasional teachers and support staff over the last week. The news ensures there will be labour peace at the board for some time. Similar agreements were also reached earlier this school year between the board and unions that represent secondary schools teachers and elementary school teachers. The school board first announced last week it reached an agreement with the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 1022 on a tentative settlement on local bargaining issues. CUPE Local 1022 is the union that represents support staff employed by the school board. That includes custodians, educational assistants, library technicians, maintenance workers and clerical staff, among others. “We are very pleased that the teams for the Board and CUPE have reached a tentative agreement,” said Dwayne Inch, chair of the school board, in a statement. “Both teams negotiated for a lengthy period of time in a respectful manner and came to agreeable terms. CUPE support staff play important roles in educating students, and we appreciate their contributions to student achievement and wellbeing,” CUPE Local 1022 President Lee-Ann Evans added, the news is pleasing. “On

behalf of the bargaining team, I would like to thank our members for their support and dedication through this process,” she said. Ratification votes by both parties will take place in the coming weeks, the school board said. The board then announced on Monday, April 4 it had reached a tentative agreement with the Hastings Prince Edward Occasional Teachers’ Local (HAPEOTL) on local bargaining issues. “Congratulations to the teams. This agreement shows their commitment to work together to come to fair terms for both parties,” said Inch. “Occasional teachers serve students each day and are valued employees at Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board.” Doug Thur, President of the HAPE OTL added, “The HAPE-OTL and HPEDSB collective bargaining teams have worked hard on the new collective agreement for occasional teachers. Our occasional teachers should be happy with this new agreement and we look forward to continuing the important work they do each day in our schools.” HAPE-OTL represents approximately 200 occasional teachers. The term of the agreement is from September 1, 2014 to August 31, 2017. Ratification votes by both parties will take place in the coming weeks.

Springtime in the Netherlands’ Keukenhof Gardens By John M. Smith

R0013740685

It’s that time of year again when we declare that winter has run its course and that we’re about to get reacquainted with such ‘signs of the times’ as the reappearance of multi-coloured flowers, freshly emerging blossoms and the annual running of sap. Springtime signals a season of new birth, bright promise, and warmer temperatures, and it’s celebrated by a number of special annual events, including some spectacular tulip festivals. For example, our very own “Canadian Tulip Festival” runs in Ottawa this year from May 12 to May 23, and our American neighbour, Holland, Michigan’s “Tu- Daffodils are another springtime flower on display in the Keukenhof Garlip Time Festival” takes place between dens.

Since the Netherlands had become the world’s largest exporter of flowers, the idea was to present a flower exhibit where growers could show off their hybrids – and help the Dutch export industry even further. While visiting Amsterdam, I decided to spend a day in these nearby gardens, so I simply hopped on a train to the airport, using my eurail pass (www.raileurope. com), and then took bus #58, which led me directly to the Keukenhof (www. keukenhof.nl) in about half an hour.

Money available to sort out blue box woes

The ongoing challenge of convincing blue box recyclers to properly sort their recyclable products may have a solution. Quinte Waste Solutions reports it is “improving recycling at apartment buildings one cart, and bag, at a time.” The municipal services board announced it has received 50 per cent funding, up to $15,000, from the province’s Continuous Improvement Fund to improve the “sorting behaviours at high-rise apartment complexes in the Quinte region.” “There are many barriers to recycling properly in apartment buildings,” said Jackie Brown, Special Events and Multi-Residential Coordinator for Quinte Waste Solutions. She cites such issues as “garbage chutes on every floor, outside depots, and limited indoor space to keep recyclables (as) the biggest hurdles, but the main issue for us is incorrect sorting.

QWS began by delivering space-saving apartment recycling bags to all residents in each test building. “The bags are divided in two, and clearly marked as to which side to put either their paper products or their plastic and metal products. The intention is that this will help residents throw their recyclables in the right cart when they bring them down to the depot,” said Brown. QWS also switched lids on paper-designated carts from blue to grey to further help residents differentiate where to put plastic and metal containers, and where to put paper. “We’ll know soon if these techniques worked. The good news now, is that we have enough recycling bags for all apartment buildings for our en-

Dan Clost There are two commonly asked questions about pruning evergreens- when and how. The when is much simpler than most folks think. This refers to forming, shaping or directing the growth of the plant. There are other times when you might literally hack away at an evergreen such as removing dead limbs from mature firs or “raising the skirt” of a large specimen that is beginning to take up too much space. Once the plant has begun active growth, meaning lots of new green fuzzy bits on the tips, it is time to stop. Exceptions include some hedges and topiaries that accept very light trimming during the course of the year just to keep it looking ever-so-formal. “How” is simple but it comes with a caveat of “who.” Once these chappies start getting taller than you can reach, call in a professional- one with proof of insurances. Almost anybody can produce a “certified arborist-gardenergreen-plant expert” certificate with their name on it. The real professional will show you all the other important papers; and, as a homeowner, the proof of insurance (WSIB) tops everything. Without these bits of paper, you as-

The Good Earth: Go Prune an Evergreen

sume the liability.You want to see two proofs- Certificate of Clearance from the WSIB and Certificate of Insurance for liability- and it should be for a million dollars or more. Pruning is simple and so are the tools you will be using. You can use hand-held pruners, loppers, hedging shears and even pole-pruners. The two common characteristics will be that they are all by-pass cutters and they are sharp. Yews: Yews come in different forms, e.g. globe, spreading etc. You could take a spreading form and trim it into a ball shape but that would be silly for two reasons. The first is that you will always be fighting the nature of the plant and the second is that plants with the desired form already exist. Big cuts, not a thousand little cuts, are needed. If you have a branch that is sticking out too far, the easy thing to do is cut it off at the outer edge of the canopy or body of the shrub. Don’t do that. Follow the stem into the plant and nick it out. One cut results in: less shock to the plant, room for current growth to spread out and fill the surprisingly small void, retention of natural form, and a lot less work. Pines: small pines, e.g. mugho, dwarf white pine, and any Japanese garden tree (think bonsai without the pot and a larger scale) such as a black pine, are easily contained in their allotted volume by candling. Candles, the sheathed needles at the tips, are the only growing points on a pine which makes it easy to limit their growth. There is usually one longer candle surrounded by several shorter ones. As the season starts, the needles will get sticky and begin to separate and that is the time to “candle.” Simply break off the candle halfway down its length which will limit this year’s growth to that length. By doing it then, you allow enough time for next year’s bud to develop. To keep things even more in check, twist off the long candle plus all of the shorter ones, leaving only two which should be pointing in the same direction as the stem, i.e. longitudinal. Cut them in half. Spruces: one difference between pine and spruces is that spruces will form buds along the fingers; fingers being as good a word as any for the small branches of the whorl at the end of each limb or larger branch. When you trim back the fingers- just to balance the shape- leave several brown buds. If the leader at the top seems to be a bit too long, you can cut it back by one-half. Make sure that any of the other fingers in the top whorl are also tipped a titch to ensure that only one finger will assert dominance. Cedars: (any of the Thuja occidentalis, e.g. white, black,

Holmstrup), as with most plants, benefit best from formative pruning at a young age. Preferably, you want as few upright stems as possible. Hedging cedars (aka swamp cedars, bare root cedars) are usually one-stemmed or, if not, can be easily made so. The benefits will be apparent when they’re carrying a winter load of snow. Usually multi-stemmed “clumps” will spring back together after the snow spreads out the canopy but sometimes, if a bit of ice gets into the mix, they stay “sprung.” This requires rehab pruning which means cutting into old wood which means a long time looking at a bare spot. Most cedars will have multiple stems when you purchase them and cutting them out would

render the plant less than aesthetically attractive. So, with your hedging shears, just lightly trim and shape the sides for form and tip back the top leaving the most central stem a titch higher than its mates. Next year, that central stem will be taller in relation to those around it. The shorter ones are now ready to be slight trimmed into the overall shape, allowing the central leader to become the only leader. From that point on you have a single stemmed cedar. End notes: for a briskly unique perspective on nurseries and gardening check out “plantsmans corner” on YouTube. Spot on, earthy and quite funny.

Hastings County levy up sharply By Jack Evans Increased electricity costs have had a significant impact on this year’s Hastings County budget and levy increase, county council was told Thursday. That impact applied especially to the public housing units administered by the county plus the two senior citizen homes, Centennial Manor in Bancroft and Hastings Manor in Belleville. Treasurer Susan Horwood added that in the case of the two manors, conservation measures last year reduced usage by two per cent, but increases amounted to 13 per cent. That translates into $280,000, she said. The final budget figure for expenditures for 2016 is $5,932,792, up from $5,382,422 last year, an increase in the tax levy apportioned among member municipalities of 3.42 per cent . The total tax levy is $13,419,378. Horwood calculated that on a typical tax bill with residential assessment of $190,000, it would mean a $13.40 increase. One member, Reeve Terry Clemens of Marmora and Lake, commented: “That’s about the same as one Tim Horton’s coffee per month,” as councillors unanimously approved the budget presentation and congratulated Horwood for her work. Cost factors included repairs to aging infrastructure, declining revenue as well as hydro costs. The county will continue to support

health care commitments, with $100,000 to Quinte Health Care’s Imagine campaign, (the final payment), $565,400 to Kingston Hospital Foundation and $107,500 for doctor recruitment. Debt financing charges, mainly to cover massive restructuring of the main county offices building are $240,000 annually. The treasurer also noted there will be some savings of extra rent for departments moving back into the main building from commercial rented properties. Planning and economic development costs are also up sharply, partly with efforts to complete a new official plan and increased tourism investments through the Bay of Quinte regional tourist council. Social services, long the source of key increases, is actually down by 1.37 per cent, a saving of $57,000, largely because of a provincial upload of $239,000. The budget includes $2,198,310 for new capital projects in social services, including replacement of single family dwellings, eight units for 2016, four new ambulances and upgrades to the two homes for seniors. A surplus from 2015 of $371,000 will be placed in contingency reserve. Concerning the new public housing units, CAO Jim Pine confirmed there may be some additional help from the recent federal budget, which included an increase for public housing, but “we’re still waiting to see the details,” he said.

Warden Rick Phillips congratulates county treasurer Susan Horwood on a successful 2016 budget presentation last week.

When I am gone, release me, let me go, I have so many things to see and do, You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears. Be happy that we had so many years. I gave you my love, You can only guess, How much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown, But now it is time I travel alone. So grieve a while for if grieve you must, Then let your grief be, comforted by trust. It's only for awhile that we must part, So bless the memories within your heart. I won't be far away, for life goes on. So if you need me, call and I will come. Though you can't hear or touch me, I'll be near. And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear, All my love around you, soft and clear. And then, when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile, and say,... "Welcome Home"

DEATH NOTICE

Georgena Martin

Georgena Martin (née Flindall) slipped away peacefully at her home in Whitby, with her family by her side on the morning of Saturday, March 19, 2016. In her 92nd year. She bravely, and quietly, endured the ailments that accompany a long life, and is now at peace. Georgena is survived by the love of her life, her high school sweetheart and husband of 72 years, Arthur Martin. Predeceased by their eldest daughter, Carolyn (Berlin), her parents, Stephen and Olive (née Nix) Flindall, her sisters, Katherine, Lucie and Janet, and her brothers Nix, Leslie, Ralph, Albert, and Ivan. Georgena will be greatly missed by their son Allan (Patti Todd), daughters Marilyn Scobie, Barbara Hall (Chris Powell), Brenda Martin (Paul Garrett), grandchildren Christopher, John (Andrea), Adam (Monika), Calay, Heather, and great grandchildren (James, Sho, Lisa, Ava, Chloé). She is the dear sister-in-law of Madge Flindall, Alice Sheffield, Louise Snider (Alan), and Campbell Martin (Mary-Anne), step-grandmother to Matthew, Michelle, Kristen, Reid, Ben, Stephanie and Amanda and stepgreat grandmother to Tehya, Addison, Quinn and Penelope. Intelligent and resourceful, Georgena acquired many skills growing up on the farm in Brighton. Rarely idle, she spent countless hours sewing – everything from clothing to dolls to quilts – and she left no craft unexplored. The consummate hostess, Georgena was famous for her culinary skills – she made a mean trifle – but, more than anything, she loved a strong cup of coffee and a good chat. Georgena loved her life, and everyone in it, unconditionally. Beautiful inside and out, our amazing Mother lived her life with integrity and a funloving spirit. We will miss you Mom: your voice, your wit, your wisdom, your kindness and most of all, your love. You will live forever in our hearts and minds, and will always be remembered. Thank you for being that wonderful individual who helped to guide us along life’s journey. Georgena and the family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Taunton Mills. And, in particular, extend our profound thanks to Grace Martins. Grace, you were so much more than a PSW, your love and friendship and extraordinary care meant so much to all of us, especially Mom. You are truly one of a kind. To respect Georgena’s wishes there will not be a memorial at this time. Cremation has been arranged at the Brighton Funeral Home. If you wish to make a donation in her memory, please give to the MS Society of Canada, the Arthritis Society or a charity of your choice.

Daffodils and Tees in the battle against cancer

By Terry McNamee

Belleville—Firefighters in Belleville helped get the Canadian Cancer Society’s annual Daffodil Month fundraiser underway with a challenge. Belleville Deputy Fire Chief Ray Ellis, a long-time Cancer Society supporter, has challenged other groups in the Hastings, Prince Edward and Brighton area, and the Quinte West Fire Department in particular, to hold workplace fundraising events in support of the Canadian Cancer Society this April. In the past, Ellis personally has raised more than $80,000 for the Cancer Society through his participation in Spin-a-Thon, Road to Relay and Daffodil Days, and in 2005 he made a solo bicycle ride from Belleville to Edmonton to raise funds. His efforts also help make people aware of the cancer risks firefighters deal with on the job as they fight fires at locations that often contain toxic chemicals as well as synthetic materials and foam, which give off dangerous fumes as they burn. “The list is growing all the time for presumptive cancers,” Ellis said. “A lot of these don’t come until we’re retired or later in our careers.” Belleville firefighters are selling Cancer Society tees as their fundraiser this month for the society.

Other businesses supporting the Cancer Society’s fundraiser include Smylies Independent in Trenton and Dewes Independent in Belleville. They are selling fresh cut and potted daffodils in their locations from March 31 to April 17, with $2 from every sale coming back to the Canadian Cancer Society. Daffodil Month began in Toronto in April of 1954 when a group of woman sold daffodils to raise money for the Cancer Society. It soon spread right across the country, and has been held annually ever since. The money raised is used by the Society to fund life-saving research, provide information on cancer prevention and treatment and to provide communitybased support services in the fight against cancer. Rather than selling live flowers, as it did in the past, the Society itself now concentrates on selling daffodil pins as a more cost-effective way to raise money. And the pin itself reminds everyone of the fight against cancer. “The daffodil is a symbol of hope,” explained Karen White, volunteer president of the Hastings/Prince Edward/Brighton community office, who lost her husband and brother to cancer. “That symbol of hope renews the hope of everybody who is touched by cancer. This is really, really important to us.”
