Patients ‘sickened’ at loss of doctors

Brighton – In the wake of Dr. Ronald Richard Twiddy’s official retirement announcement, concerns over accessibility to local health care services continue to flood in. “I’m sickened at the thought, I and others may soon have to travel to Port Hope or Belleville, to see a doctor,” says 80-year-old Brighton resident Donald Adams. “Then, to wait an hour-and-a-half or two, and maybe not see a doctor…In this day and age, every citizen should have access to proper health care and they shouldn’t have to drive miles to find a doctor, sit and wait, and not know if they will actually see him [or her].” This is Adams’ fear – that he, and a multitude of others will soon be left in limbo, as Dr. Twiddy is set to retire. “Dr. Twiddy is an exceptional doctor,” Adams said. “He deserves a good retirement.” While a new doctor is slated to come to the area in 2017 – what are the young, the vulnerable and seniors suppose to do in the meantime? These questions have left Adams feeling unsettled. He’s not alone with his concerns either. Nancy Mann, another Brighton resident, is scared her 85-year-old mother, who was diagnosed with leukemia last year, will soon have no one to care for her. Mayor Mark Walas says this isn’t an issue exclusive to Brighton. “We’re seeing it all over, from Cobourg to Napanee. There are more physicians retiring, than coming to town.” Mann is also a retired registered nurse. She quit her job about a year ago and moved to the area to

care for her mother. Mann was anticipating someone would be taking over for Dr. Twiddy. “I don’t want Dr. Twiddy to think we’re begrudging him,” she clarified. “He’s so gracious. He came to our home so many times. He cared for my grandmother. He’s really, a good family physician, who I have a lot of respect for.” Mann and Adams share the opinion that some sort of contingency plan or provisions should have been set in place by now, to ensure accessibility to health care services in the community. The idea that Mann’s mother, who has decreased mobility or a neighbour who just had hip surgery, may soon have to travel to receive medical care is “inconceivable.” Mann says none of this will ensure continuity, health prevention or optimal health care, if patients are left seeing numbers of physicians “on the fly.” Given the potential for other retirements in the future, Mann and Adams want to see something proactive done by council. This is “careless” and should have been addressed earlier, Adams said. And given the demographics of Brighton, this is urgent, Mann insists. These roles can take years to fill, she added. The hope was, Walas noted, a pending retirement would coincide a little closer to 2017, when a new physician would be in town. “Council is now taking action and steps forward to address this issue in a timely manner,” Walas said. Council recently put forth a motion to set aside $100,000 for a doctor recruitment committee. A follow-up meeting was initially slated for April 27. That meeting has since been rescheduled to May 11.

“We’re going to be moving forward as fast as we can on this, cause we understand it’s important to our constituents,” Councillor Roger McMurray said. McMurray and Coun. John Martinello put forth the most recent motion in terms of physician recruitment, which council unanimously voted in favour of.

“We understand that two things occur in these situations,” McMurray continued. “First, there are a large number of orphan patients who are at odds to find a new physician. Then, we understand people look to us to assist…because we are closest to the ratepayers.” However, council is not technically or solely reContinued on page 2

sponsible for attracting physicians – that responsibility rests with the province, both McMurray and Walas noted. The physician recruitment committee has been inactive for some time now. Currently, the terms of reference need to be reviewed and redeveloped, Walas explained. The municipality advertised last summer to have positions filled. The existing terms of reference require a councillor, physician, member of the Brighton Health Services Centre, and a member of the public to sit on the committee. Council did not receive the response expected, with very limited interest expressed. Brighton resident Emily Rowley, says council should consider why this is the case.

At the April 18 council meeting, Rowley said local and regional health care providers and organizations have always been strong partners and supporters of Brighton’s physician recruitment efforts. The plan moving forward is to look at what’s working for other municipalities, what will work for Brighton and what will better reflect council’s position on physician recruitment, Walas said. Setting goals will also be a priority. “We’re going to be bringing forth some ideas that will hopefully help fill the void,” Walas said. Walas plans to bring forth the suggestion that two doctors be recruited to the area before the end of term. “We are aware of other possible retirements,” Walas added. Walas thanked Dr. Twiddy, on behalf of council and the municipality for his 30plus year commitment to the community. (Please see related story on Page 9)

New drug store a prescription for wellness By Sarah Hyatt Brighton – Owners of a new business in town say they’re looking forward to becoming a wellness destination for residents. On Saturday, April 23, owners and pharmacists, Alex Chang and Phillip Reed, celebrated the official grand opening of Brighton Remedy’s Rx –

The Local Drug Store. “Our focus is on prescription service,” Chang said. “Our average wait time is 10 minutes.” The idea is to do things differently, explained Chang, who was overwhelmed with excitement on Saturday, as members of the public, supporters and Mayor Mark Walas stopped by to be a part of the official opening.

The goal is for Brighton Remedy’s Rx to be more of a wellness destination, rather than just a drugstore. In the fall, Chang says they’re looking to expand to include a travel clinic. “Currently the closet one is in Belleville,” Chang said. The travel clinic will include pretravel consultation and vaccinations. Mayor Walas says Brighton Remedy’s Rx is a wonderful addition for

the downtown and for residents, who now have two more healthcare professionals to assist in this regard. Much of the work at Brighton Remedy’s Rx is also focused on diabetic care. This includes free foot care for customers. “It’s a big thing for diabetic patients,” Chang said. “Sometimes, people can’t afford it either.” Alongside free foot care, the A1C test is also available at the drugstore for people with diabetes. The A1C test is a blood test that provides information about a person’s average levels of blood glucose, over the course of a three-

month span. Locally owned and operated, Chang says, “service is the big thing for us – we’re going to go the extra mile.” In other words, this means doing more than the standard drugstore, Chang explained. “We just don’t want people, while they’re sick or battling care, to have to worry about their treatment regiment,” he continued. That’s why Brighton Remedy’s Rx is focused on providing prescriptions while residents wait in that 10-minute time frame. Free delivery is available and drug plans are accepted. Moving forward, the plan is to also offer cholesterol screening. Brighton Remedy’s Rx is located at 24 Main St., across from Sobey’s.

Millions of bird deaths each year from window collisions should not be ignored every year across Canada crashing into windows, “We have to pay close attention to this problem Brighton – Roughly 25 million birds are killed and that’s “a conservative figure,” says the found- because we cannot afford to lose these birds,” er of FLAP Canada. said Michael Mesure, the executive director of the Fatal Light Awareness Program, following a presentation to students at East Northumberland X Chat Stream Surf Secondary School April 12. They’re insectivores that “consume billions of Always chatting insects” and play a “crucial role in the ecosystem,” he said. Without them, “humans are going Always posting to suffer” from the impact of crops being ruined by insects. Always streaming “They also pollinate plants [and] distribute seeds,” Mesure added. We’re always on, because they’re always on What’s more, “the bird watching industry is a multi -billion dollar industry. It’s not just those guys with binoculars and bird books and Tilley hats. If you have a bird feeder in your backyard you’re a bird watcher.” And all the money spent on the purchase of bird feed and related goods “helps create a financial healthy economy,” he said, “another reason why it’s important to preserve these birds.” FLAP, a non-profit organization sustained by the efforts of about 100 volunteers, is doing its part. In addition to rescuing and rehabilitating birds that survive collisions, it holds educational workshops, arranges displays and conducts public

awareness campaigns to get across its message. Which is that birds are attracted to bright lights left on at night and are deceived by windows during the day that show reflections of trees or the sky, or are clear but show a potted plant, for example, inside a building. Both issues are “easily resolved,” Mesure said. He described for the students how buildings can be designed to prevent bird collisions and the steps that building and home owners can take to address what’s already in place. They include uniformly covering the outside of windows with contrasting patterns, hanging ribbons on the outside, applying a special film, positioning bird feeders and birdbaths close to windows, and placing house plants inside further away from view. Since 1993 FLAP volunteers “monitoring a small cluster of buildings” in Toronto, have picked up more than 75,000 birds, representing 170 species, 21 of them at risk. Mesure said progress is being made to reduce the carnage, through the law and creative architectural designs that not only reduce the threat of buildings to the safety of birds in “a very costeffective” way but are also “incredibly pleasing.” “There’s some terrific stuff happening,” he said. All of these things combined is creating a momentum.”

OPINION

Keep calm and idle on in construction season

Burundi: The next genocide? The good news is that the killing in Burundi has not yet grown into a civil war like the one that killed 300,000 people in 1993-2005, let alone a genocide like the one that killed 800,000 people in neighbouring Rwanda in 1994. The bad news is that Burundi is getthere. Gwynne Dyer ting It’s hard to speak well of Sepp Blatter, the disgraced former head of FIFA, the international football federation. But Africa would owe him a large debt of gratitude if he had persuaded Burundi’s President Pierre Nkurunziza not to seek a third term, and instead to accept a job as FIFA’s “ambassador for football” to the world. When the story came out recently in Blatter’s autobiography, the Swiss foreign ministry (which asked Blatter to make the offer) explained that, “The intention was to contribute to a peaceful solution in order to prevent the current crisis in Burundi.” It might even have worked. Nkurunziza is a keen footballer, and he certainly has put aside enough money to retire on. But he chose to stay on and run for a third term, and started Burundi on the road back down to Hell. African presidents suffer from two besetting sins. One is the belief that they are irreplaceable: almost two-thirds of African countries had twoterm presidential limits in their constitutions by 2000, but since then 10 of them have seen attempts by their presidents to remove the limit. The most recent was Rwanda, where President Paul Kagame’s last permitted term will now end in 2034. But Pierre Nkurunziza’s excuse was particularly pathetic. He became president at the end of the civil war in 2005, when the peace was precarious. There was no time for a presidential election, so he was elected to the presidency by a parliamentary vote. On the basis of that, Nkurunziza began claiming last year that his first term shouldn’t count towards his constitutional two-term limit because he was chosen by parliament and not by the people. Even Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe (seven terms and counting) saw the humour in that. “They say the first term was not a real term,” he said at an African Union summit last June, “but you were there for five years!” Burundi’s Constitutional Court accepted Nkuruniza’s claim, however, as it would have been hazardous to the members’ health to do other-

wise. (One of the judges then fled the country, saying that they had all been bullied and threatened into giving that judgement.) The opposition parties all boycotted the election last July, so Nkurunziza “won” – and by then the level of violence was rising rapidly. The killing started after a failed military coup that tried to stop the sham election, and the reported death toll is now around 400. The known victims are mostly political activists and ordinary citizens murdered by the police in Bujumbura, the capital, but the real total of the killings must be far higher. Rural killings are rarely reported, but a quarter-million people have fled the country in the past year and now live in refugee camps in neighbouring countries. The one consolation in this dreadful situation, until recently, was that it wasn’t a tribal confrontation. In both Rwanda’s genocide and Burundi’s civil war the majority Hutus (85 per cent of the population) were on one side and formerly dominant Tutsi minority on the other. Since the civil war, however, Burundi’s army has been evenly divided between the two ethnic groups, and the opposition groups have also included both Hutus and Tutsis. The other besetting sin of African presidents, unfortunately, is that if they come from the biggest tribe (as they most often do), when they get into deep political trouble their default solution is to fall back on tribal loyalties. That is what Nkurunziza is doing now. The army is being purged of Tutsis, and the very same language used by the Hutus in the run-up to the Rwanda genocide is now being used by Nkurunziza’s Hutu backers in Burundi. Révérien Ndikuriyo, the president of the Burundian senate, has been referring to the regime’s opponents as “cockroaches” (the same word used for Tutsis by the Hutu extremists in Rwanda). He has even called on the government’s supporters to “start work” (“kora”), which was the code-word used in Rwanda for the launch of the 1994 genocide. Nkurunziza is trying to turn a political confrontation he might lose into an ethnic conflict that he could win, but the cost would be another genocide. The future of an entire country of 10 million people is being put at risk by his personal ambition. So far the opposition parties (which are, of course, mostly Hutu) are resisting Nkurunziza’s attempts to scapegoat the Tutsis, but in the world’s poorest country, many ordinary Hutus will be tempted to go along with the regime’s lies in order to steal their Tutsi neighbours’ land. We may be weeks away from Africa’s next genocide.

Editorial - Chris Malette Let’s face it, in Canada we have not four but two seasons – winter and construction season. In this region, few communities are immune to the effects of that old saw in the coming weeks of mild weather. Throughout the district, roads will be torn up, highways will be detoured, and, worse, main street and downtown businesses in various locations will be impacted by road closures and jackhammers right outside their doors. In Belleville, in the area of Dundas Street, east of the Prince Edward County link road and the CPR overpass, traffic has been reduced to two painfully slow lanes at peak traffic. The project is known as the Bay Bridge Road/CPR Overhead Replacement & Dundas Street West Rehabilitation. Its budget is listed at $17.4 million and is a mammoth undertaking, one that was years in the planning. When complete, it should make travelling to and from The County much smoother. The new bridge being constructed to connect with Dundas Street will have five lanes, an improvement over the current – and crumbling – four-lane bridge. Then there’s the downtown political football phase of Build Belleville. Phase 2 of the City Centre Revitalization Project is expected to take place from April 25 to Sept. 15, in the middle section of Front Street, between Victoria Avenue and Bridge Street West. This phase affects more businesses than Phase 1 work, which took place along the north part of Front Street last summer. The project involves tearing up the street to install new underground infrastructure that’s more than 100 years old. But the plan has business owners nervous about how it will impact foot traffic and ultimately sales in the typically busy summer months. The city sided with builder Len Corcoran Excavating to bump up the schedule, but in the process, officials with the Build Belleville project neglected to keep business owners in the loop. The blowback was predictable and wholly justified. Kathryn Brown, one owner who said she’s so angry at the city she may move operations

to Prince Edward County, said she purchased inventory months ago expecting to have a successful spring season. If construction work blocks her front doors in the prime months of May, June and July she’s not sure that will happen. “We’ve been asked to pivot in a short period of time,” she said. “A lot of us have been jeopardized.” In the village of Hastings, the closure of the Trent Severn Waterway swing bridge at Lock 18 meant the town was literally severed in half. With the bridge closed, the only direct route connecting the north and south sides of the village across Lock 18 is via a special pedestrian crossing. But, a reprieve was announced last week. The Lock 18 Hastings swing bridge will reopen to traffic nearly a full month ahead of schedule, Parks Canada has revealed. It’s the kind of spring fever news area residents and travellers have been waiting for since the bridge was shut down Jan. 4 so crews could install a brand new bridge. Pedestrians will still have to use the special walkway to walk between the north and south sides of the river but vehicles will no longer have to take the large detour around Hastings to move north and south of Hastings along County Road 45. In Picton, the main commercial artery through the popular tourist town is going to be a jumble of trenches, gravel and torn up sidewalks for the summer. At the ceremonial start to the construction recently, Picton’s Business Improvement Association named the $5.5 million project the ‘Main Street Makeover’ in an effort to gussy up the grim image of construction and keep shoppers and tourists in town. No matter where you turn, this summer, you’re likely to see a flag person standing in a roadway waving you down to stop or drive slowly through a construction zone. Take it with a big, big grain of salt and breathe deeply. The alternative to fixing these roads and bridges is far worse than the short term pain of the road closures. Anyone who’s been on a vacation to Mexico, the islands or many pockets of Europe will understand it could be much, much worse if you ignore the ravages of time and Mother Nature on infrastructure work.

Brighton – Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her 90th birthday April 21. Ronda Moran, a member of the Monarchist League of Canada, waited three days to celebrate the occasion, in the company of friends and family at her home on Cove Court. “Somebody called me an ambassador for the British Royal Family,” Moran said. “I thought that sounded pretty good.” She had two special guests. Jane Ann Thompson served as chair of the Monarchist League in Belleville for 25 years and was on hand for the queen’s royal tours whenever it passed through this part of Ontario, making

sure to take lots of photos. “I just loved her so much, I just wanted to be in her company,” said Thompson, who’s been a monarchist since she was nine. She has been sending birthday, anniversary and Christmas cards to members of the Royal Family for decades and has always received an official reply. But when she didn’t receive a response to a card sent to the Duchess of Cambridge, she began to wonder why. It turned out the reply never made it into her mailbox but had blown into a corn-

field and was found by a friend walking his dog. Inside the envelope was “a lovely picture of Catherine,” Thompson said. Her prized possession is a book signed by Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, who died at the age of 101 in 2002. Thompson had arranged for a pilot to ask the Queen Mother to autograph a book, which she refused at first but then consented. Thompson wrote to thank her and got a letter back from the Queen Mother saying she was glad Thompson “liked the fa-

vour” she had given. “That was a really touching experience for me,” she said. Marjorie Morgan was presented to the queen in 1959 when she stopped at CFB Trenton on one her royal tours. Morgan accompanied her late father, Frank Goodrich, who was the reeve of Brighton at the time, in place of her mother, who had died three weeks earlier. “The honour was [to be] hers, not mine, but I was the one who was standing there,” Morgan said.

least eight practising physicians – and that most doctors practising, were due to retire in the next 10-15 years. “This is true, that the area remains a designated high-needs area,” Parker said. In December of 2012, the municipality budgeted $100,000 to help Dr. Harrison Bishop with his education and to recruit him to the area for 2017. It’s anticipated Dr. Bishop will open his practice sometime mid-2017. Dr. Bishop has agreed to a seven-year commitment and will serve as a part of the family health team. “At this time, this is all the information available,” Walas said. In coming weeks, council will be looking at what incentives or additional support they may be able to provide. “Yes, we understand, there is now potential for service interruption and for an indefinite period of time,” Walas said. “But this has heightened community and council’s response. I foresee nothing but success in the future. We’re going to push hard. We’ve agreed to revise the current terms of reference and hopefully, with public support from the community, we can make this successful.”

Residents in the community who are looking for a new family physician are encouraged to register with Health Care Connect. There is a process to follow, which begins with registering, executive director of the Brighton-Quinte West Family Health Team, Wendy Parker explains. Information is available at www.bqwfht.ca. People can also contact Health Care Connect at 1-800-445-1822 or online at www.ontario. ca/healthcareconnect. In the case of Dr. Twiddy’s patients, after they register, they must then de-roster, Parker said. A patient registered with Health Care Connect is still able to see their existing physician until such time as the patient becomes registered with a new physician, or their existing physician’s office closes, Parker clarified. In terms of current patient waitlists, the exact number of residents in need of a doctor is not known. “It changes every day,” Parker said. In other words, last week, the number of people on the waitlist could have been 500. This week, it could be 2,000, as Dr. Twiddy had a very large practice, Parker said. And at the present time, physicians are not increasing their practice sizes, the executive director confirmed. Though they may in the future, she added. The executive director said she, and the health care team understand people are fearful and anxious. “We understand there’s a concern and that other physicians will retire.

By John Campbell Cramahe Township – Council is holding off making decisions about this year’s municipal budget until it knows what the final figures are for 2015. Council members are proceeding cautiously after being shocked last fall by an audit that revealed the municipality had a $400,000 deficit from 2014 that needed fixing. The treasurer was subsequently dismissed and a new one, Nicole Leach-Bihun, hired two months ago. Councillor Tim Gilligan was the first council member to push for delaying a bit longer to give Leach-Bihun more time to go over the numbers for 2015. “Shouldn’t we wait until we get the actuals?” he asked.

“Can anyone guarantee where we are?” Deputy-Mayor Sandra Arthur was of the same mind, asking Leach-Bihun if she “would be close to being comfortable with the final figures” by May 3, the date the treasurer said she would like to have a tax rate bylaw ready to present to council. “There’s still a lot of work to be done,” Leach-Bihun said, adding the numbers are “never 100 per cent until the auditors come in and put their rubber stamp on them.” Gilligan and Arthur both spoke in favour of scheduling extra meetings in May to conclude budget deliberations. Mayor Marc Coombs proposed council “start making some decisions” that night about some of the projects staff

had put forward in a series of issue papers. “I don’t think we’re going to be $400,000 in the hole,” he said; even if, “worst case scenario,” the municipality discovered it had a $100,000 deficit, “we just find it in reserves to cover off.” Coombs pointed out “most municipalities don’t necessarily have year-end figures when they start doing the budget, they have an idea where it will end up.” Councillor Ed Van Egmond wasn’t keen about putting off all decisions to a later date but if the budget is “not ready to go, it’s not ready to go.” Council agreed to wait until May 3 before beginning work on setting a budget. In the meantime they will go over the issue papers they were

given, which include extending the sewer line to Colborne’s industrial park, rehabilitating Cedar, Burnham, Park and Ontario streets, completing rehabilitation work begun on Penryn Road, retrofitting arena pad lighting to LED, hiring a permanent part-time events programmer, and making some part-time staff full-time employees. Council members were also given what the tax impact would be on a home worth $200,000 if the municipal levy were to be raised anywhere from 2.5 per cent to 7.5 per cent. At the lower amount, the combined municipal, county and education tax bill would add up to $2,781, a $46 increase; at the upper end, the levy increase would result in a $111 tax hike.

Authors to show support for bookstores Saturday

By John Campbell

Brighton – Lighthouse Books will have a few extra bodies helping out with book sales this Saturday. The six are all authors and each will be spending an hour or two in the store as part of Canadian Authors for Indies Day. More than 500 writers will be turning out at bookstores across Canada to show their appreciation for independent bookstores. “I’m really excited about it,” Lighthouse owner Kathryn Corbett said. The authors won’t be coming “to push their own books,” but to “talk to people about the importance of independent bookstores in our communities ... and what they like to read.”

So they’re acting as both booksellers and “book talkers,” she said. Among those coming to Lighthouse are Jennifer Robson, the author of three international bestsellers set during and after the First World War (Somewhere in France, After the War is Over, and Moonlight Over Paris) and Michael Redhill, a poet and playwright, whose first novel, Martin Sloan, was a finalist for the 2001 Giller Prize. He’s also written several novels about a female OPP Detective Inspector under the pseudonym Inger Ash Wolf as well as a book for young adults, Saving Houdini, about a boy who travels back in time to prevent Harry Houdini being killed by a blow to the stomach. Elizabeth Abbott is a well-renowned histo-

rian with a special interest in women’s issues and social justice. She has written histories about marriage, celibacy, mistresses, and the sugar trade. Her most recent book is about rescue dogs. The other three are writers from this area: Peggy Dymond Leavey (Trenton), Rene Schmidt (Brighton) and Kurt Palka (Port Hope). Leavey has written biographies about Molly Brant, the Mohawk loyalist and diplomat, silent screen star Mary Pickford, and Laura Secord, as well as several books for young readers. Schmidt, who taught at East Northumberland Secondary School, is the author of books about Canadian disasters as well as one of fiction for “reluctant readers” called Leaving Fletchvill Palka is the author of six novels, the most recent being The Piano Maker.

“There’s quite a mix of genres here and really interesting personalities,” Corbett said. She’s gladdened by the show of moral support by authors who are saying by their presence that independent bookstores “are very important to the authors.” “It shows that we must matter to them, the fact that they’re going to take time out of their busy day [to be here],” Corbett said. “It means they take our industry very seriously.” It also gets out the message that if people want independent bookstores to be part of the community, then they “need to be coming by and taking advantage” of what they have to offer, she added. Coffee and cookies will be served and prizes given out. The day begins at 11 a.m with Abbott, followed by Robson (11:30 a.m.), Leavey (noon), Schmidt (1 p.m.), Palka (2 p.m.) and Redhill (3:30 p.m.).

Parrott was ‘beaking off ’ to owner: OPP Brighton -- Northumberland OPP had to intervene in a recent domestic dispute between a man and his parrot. According to OPP, ofﬁcers were called to a Brighton home on Tuesday, April 19 after receiving complaints of a disturbance that involved yelling and threats coming from the home. Police said they had received reports from witnesses who said they heard a man shout “I hope you die!” from inside the home. Ofﬁcers found a lone man at the home yelling at his pet parrot. The man told police the parrot was ‘beaking off at him.’ Police say alcohol was involved. No charges were laid.

Quinte West YMCA launches $85,000 Strong Kids goal By Erin Stewart Trenton – The Quinte West YMCA has launched a new goal of $85,000 for this year’s Strong Kids Campaign, a campaign to ensure kids and families who have financial need have the opportunity to participate in programs at the YMCA. This year’s chair of the Strong Kids committee, Gino Leone, said it’s extremely important for him to be involved with the Strong Kids initiative, as a father of two boys with another on the way. “I want my kids to be involved in the community and the sports and programs at the Y and for families that don’t get that opportunity for their kids,” he said. When young families are first starting out that’s when the financial burden is the hardest, said Leone. “Unfortunately, if we wait for them to be able to afford it then the kids grow up and they’re no longer kids anymore and they’re the ones that miss out,” Leone said. “So it’s very important for us to step in as a community and make sure all of those kids have the

The Quinte West YMCA has about 6,000 members and 21 per cent of all members, including kids, are receiving some type of financial assistance. All of the money raised through the Strong Kids campaign goes directly towards kids programming, Riddell said. “The amount of money that we raise right now in this community is far exceeded by the amount that we’re providing in financial assistance,” he said. Riddell said it’s important that the staff at

Brighton’s Own

Living it up, County and Quinte style By Vic Schukov Brighton - When Catherine Stutt says that she loves everything about county living, she means it literally. She is the editor of County and Quinte Living magazine. It is not often that one has a chance to interview an interviewer, and Catherine the trooper smiled through the whole chat: “How can I not smile?” she says. “People trust us with their fantastic stories. Our writers are enthusiastic and incredibly tuned into the community. They want to tell the stories that truly make a difference to the people we showcase.” Stutt says that the term “lucky” does not adequately describe her job: “I drive around one of the most gorgeous regions in the world and talk to nice people. Our magazine reflects everything this area has to offer. People here, some going

back many generations, love to share their history, so we have many different voices.” Published quarterly, and stunningly photographed, County and Quinte Living is a totally homemade product including its office, writers, designers and photographers. It’s no wonder that it flies off the shelves within weeks. Stutt has been its editor since 2012. She started as a paid journalist at 15 in her hometown Bracebridge newspaper: “So I have been invading people’s privacy since 1977.” At 19, she work briefly as a dispatcher for the OPP in Bracebridge, at that time the third busiest detachment in the province. Colleagues cautioned her not to be too cheeky or familiar with her stern, all-business boss and to just do her job. One Sunday morning, a month and a half into her position, an OPP pilot asked her if she wanted a ride in the he-

licopter. She agreed, and after they landed, her supervisor walked over to the window and, lowering his “Clint Eastwood glasses,” advised her to, “Always tell your supervisor where you are.” Stutt says, laughing, “I told him that I figured I could always get another job, but not a helicopter ride. Thirty years later, I am still married to him.” Stutt moved to Brighton 16 years ago. “I fit in with the people,” she says, “I was accepted immediately. I belong here, and truly respect the longevity of old families that are a part of Brighton’s anchor.” Stutt recharges herself by doing volunteer work: She assists in the digitalization of over two thousand Brighton photos being archived through Friends of Hilton Hall. Along with her husband Daryl, she also works with the Salvation Army kettle campaign. “Brighton people do so much,” says Stutt. “In 2015, 58 (Salvation Army) volunteers on 205 shifts raised over $25,000. That’s Brighton, a town of volunteers. Its tapestry is woven by the fabric and threads of generations

of families who care about its cultural smiling: “My initial resistance to weave.” this interview is that I prefer my Stutt also edits the award-winning side of the pen.

Community shows support for family who lost a son to rare form of cancer benefit for them,” where everyone could get together, she said. “It was a great night,” said Jason Day, who was impressed by how much support the community showed Nelson’s family and friends. The bands performed for free and the Legion provided use of the hall at no cost. “I’m speechless, it’s overwhelming,” Kim Lumley said. “Going through such a hard time, and then having so many people trying to help you through it, it’s amazing.” Nelson’s stepfather, Les Adams, said the teenager was “a good kid” who would “stand up for the little guy all the time” whenever he saw someone being bullied. He was a Raptors fan and loved basketball, as well as playing soccer; “any time he had he’d be kicking around the ball,” Adams said.

By John Campbell Colborne – Still in mourning over the death of 18-year-old Nelson Lumley from an extremely rare form of cancer, the community has rallied around his family as it copes with his loss and the expenses that were incurred in a bid to save his life. A benefit dance held at the Colborne Legion, organized by Nelson’s former babysitter, Ashley Day, raised almost $3,000 for his parents, Kim and Peter Lumley, Saturday night. The net proceeds from the five-hour event will help “relieve their financial stress,” said Day’s step-brother, Jason Day, whose Colborne band Tight Quarters performed at the fundraiser, along with The Revolvers, from Cobourg. Nelson was diagnosed with germcell cancer last October and began receiving chemotherapy right Ashley Day, on the left, and her stepbrother, Jason Day, in back, held a fundraiser for the family of Nelson Lumley, including his mother Kim Lumley and stepfather Les Adams, April 16 at the Colborne Legion.

Lumley said her son had complained of a sore back initially and when “his stomach started to swell ... we could tell that there was something really wrong.” What followed was a series of treatments and blood transfusions that required almost daily trips to

Dear Editor, I am appalled when I see the amount of garbage that has been dumped on our roadsides, especially at the on and off ramps of Highway 401(Our Highway of Heroes!). This is a strong indication of lack of concern for our environment and makes me feel ashamed of my fellow Canadians. It is also a sign of disrespect for our country. We should be proud of our country, our community and our people and we should show that pride by making sure that all garbage is disposed of properly, so that we can enjoy the beauty of our environment.

Campbellford’s Edible Garden build By Sue Dickens Campellford – The seeds of an idea that were planted last fall have germinated into a successful project this spring with the creation of Campbellford’s Edible Garden. Volunteers gathered alongside organizers Joan Sheppard and Julie Owens (Campbellford Green Thumbs - Facebook) on a piece of land donated by Newman Insurance on Doxsee Avenue. The highlight of the build was a visit by Chris Palmer, often billed as “Canada’s Favourite Handyman.” He travelled from Oshawa to bring his expertise to the build, and help put the vegetable and fruit garden beds together. Palmer has quickly become a household name through his creative DIYs. With a strong focus on handcrafted woodwork, he has turned his passion into a career, creating custom projects through his company “Handcrafted by Chris Palmer”. He made his national debut on the hit HGTV

show Canada’s Handyman Challenge and is now a regular guest expert on Global Morning Show in Toronto. “I am a big green thumb. If you watched my segments last year, I built a miniature greenhouse out of this lumber by MicroPro Sienna because it is the only eco-friendly wood that we can actually use to put vegetables in, because it won’t leach into the soil and you don’t have to worry about chemicals,” he commented. Palmer is spokesman for the company which has partnered for the build. As well, local businesses have stepped up to help including Tim Hortons and Canadian Tire which donated a skid of topsoil for the garden. “We are building 20 15-foot beds, six four-byfour beds, three eight-foot beds and a 14-foot bed,” said Owen as she held up a drawing she created showing the layout. “We’ve already planted rhubarb and raspberries and we have strawberries coming as well,” she

Campbellford’s Edible Garden projects is an idea that has grown out of the popular Incredible Edibles Festival that has taken root in Campbellford. Volunteers showed up for the build from public schools, the local high school, seniors, Community Living and community enthusiasts. Chris Palmer, Canada’s favourite handyman, arrived at the site to pitch in and offer his expertise. Photo by Sue Dickens

added. Sheppard noted, “We’ve also got just your regular garden vegetables, cucumbers, squashes, beets, radishes and more. All the plants and seeds currently have been donated by local residents. “This is a community garden where we

want people to come and help weed or just pick a tomato or vegetable and take it home. “There’ll be benches made with donated wood beams from Quality Barn Removal of Havelock, where people can sit and relax.” Organizers hope to see the fruits of their labour very soon.

Archer’s chick hatchery moving to Quinte West By Erin Stewart Trenton – Archer’s Poultry Farm Ltd. has announced the move of its chick hatchery from Brighton to be constructed in Quinte West’s North Murray Industrial Park. “We needed a larger facility and the facility is quite demanding on power consumption and utilities, so the industrial park fits in perfect with that,” said Stuart Archer, president of Archer’s Poultry Farm and the third generation working in the family business. Archer said construction for the new facility will

begin in early summer and the new building will be 30,000 sq. ft., about 30 per cent larger than their current facility. He hopes to have the new facility built within one year. The new and larger facility is expected to increase the business capacity be about 40 per cent Archer said. “We don’t expect a large growth immediately, but we’re building for capacity,” Archer said. “If we can increase our capacity then we will have to hire more people.”

about his decision to relocate the hatchery in Quinte West. Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison said he is really happy to have part of Archer’s business move into town. “It’ll be just a beautiful, clean operation,” Harrison said. “I’m really pleased. They’re a great business, they’ll be a real asset to us.”

Josh Dickinson scored the team’s only goal six minutes into the first period, assisted by Daniel Hardie. G-Hawks Lucas Brown tied the game three minutes into the second period with a goal assisted by Hunter Fargey and Josh Allan. Ben Scheel scored the G-Hawks’ game-winning goal two minutes into the third, assisted by Nick Boddy. Urbani stopped 26 shots out of the 27 he faced and Andrew Masters made 25 saves on 27 shots for the Raiders. “I feel ecstatic, we had a great year and it’s a great way to cap off the great year,” said G-Hawks coach Jerome Dupont. “We’ve worked really hard and we’ve been consistent with that and I think that’s one of the reasons we’re successful.” Dupont said the entire G-Hawks team is a great group of young men. “I love them, they’re great,” he said. “There’s great chemistry and that chemistry goes a long way.” John McDonald, director of hockey operations and recipient of the OJHL’s Executive of the Year Award,

said it’s been a long road and he just couldn’t get over the moment of winning the Buckland Cup. “We just played one of the greatest hockey clubs this league has produced in a lot of years and we beat them, I just can’t believe it,” McDonald said. McDonald said Raiders’ goaltender Masters only allowed six goals in five games; something he said just goes to show how fantastic Urbani is. “Getting him was our prize and then the supporting cast around him has just been brilliant,” McDonald said. “They’re just a real together group, that’s what makes them special, they’re a team.” Urbani said the feeling was surreal in the moments following his MVP award and hoisting the Buckland Cup in front of the G-Hawks fans. “It feels really good, it was a team effort, the guys in front of me at the end there were blocking shots in front

of me and it was unbelievable,” said Urbani. “We knew we could go all the way and that’s what we did.” The G-Hawks will now move on to the Dudley-Hewitt Cup, Central Canadian Junior “A” Championship, from May 3 to May 7, in Kirkland Lake. The round robin tournament will include the G-Hawks as the OJHL champions, the Kirkland Lake Gold Minors as the selected host team, the Soo Thunderbirds as the champions of the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League and the Fort Frances Lakers, the champions of the Superior International Junior Hockey League. The champion of the Dudley will move on as the central seed to play at the Royal Bank Cup, the Canadian National Junior “A” Championship, which gets under way May 14 in Lloydminster, AB/SK.

Go online to help military families in MFRC auction By Ross Lees The Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC) Invisible Ribbon Gala online auction is thriving once again this year after a fantastic introductory year last year. This year’s auction began on Thursday, April 21, runs for 12 days and concludes on May 2. More than 100 items will likely be listed in the auction on Facebook before it ends, online auction coordinator Joanna Cronk estimated. “Last year, we raised $2,400 from 40 items,” Cronk said. “This year,

we have close to 100 items and stuff is still coming in, so we hope our proceeds will increase accordingly.” Bidding began on April 21 (Invisibleribbononlineauction2016) and no pre-bids were allowed. Bidding ends on May 2 and items must be picked up and paid for at the MFRC no later than May 6 at noon. Items can be paid for using cash, debit or credit card, although no personal cheques will be allowed. There is no delivery of items. Links for the online auction can be found on the MFRC website, all MFRC social media sites and on the Invisible Ribbon Gala website.

Items in this year’s online auction include something for everyone, ranging in price from $20 up to $500 and include jeweler, clothing, household items, gift baskets, art, home, pet care and gift certificates for a variety of things including restaurants, personal care (chiro, massage, reflexology), photography sessions, shows, events, wine tours and wills. “Stuff will be added to the auction throughout the period it runs to keep people coming back,” said. Cronk. “We are having new stuff donated all the time.” Response to this year’s auction has

already resulted in 230 participants signing up, the total signed up for all of last year. “We’re hoping for 500 participants this year,” added MFRC Communications and Development Co-ordinator Devon Taylor. Stefani Wolf, the special events coordinator for the MFRC added that there was a lot of variety in the items and she hoped the increase in item volume would result in a similar increase in proceeds. “All proceeds from this year’s auction go to the 12th Annual Invisible Ribbon Gala in support of the

MFRC expansion,” said Taylor. Taking place on May 7 at the National Air Force Museum of Canada, this year’s gala is themed around the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP) with a 1940s theme that will add atmosphere to the event. Tickets are already virtually sold out three weeks in advance of the event, to the delight of the organizers. Major-General D.L.R. Wheeler, 1 Canadian Air Division (1 CAD) Commander is the guest speaker for this annual MFRC fundraiser.

MFRC Communications and Development Co-ordinator Devon Taylor, online auction coordinator Joanna Cronk, and Stefani Wolf, the special events coordinator for the MFRC display just a few of the many items that will be featured on the Invisible Ribbon Gala online auction beginning April 21 and running through to May 2.

Man has vehicle seized after driving it into the ditch twice

By Terry McNamee

Stirling—When the Quinte Region Traffic Coalition (QRTC) conducted their “Big Four” enforcement blitz on April 21, they didn’t expect to charge one man twice on the same day for the same infraction. Const. Scott Preston of the Stirling-Rawdon Police Service said the QRTC traffic blitz last Thursday was focused on aggressive driving, impaired driving, distracted driving and failing to wear seatbelts throughout Hastings and Prince Edward Counties. A total of 163 charges were laid throughout the region during the oneday campaign. The OPP Highway Safety Division found a 61-year-old man who had driven his car into a ditch on an area side road. An ambulance was called and, after it was determined that the driver was not impaired and had not suffered a medical emergency such as diabetic shock, the undamaged vehicle was towed out of the ditch. The man was charged with careless driving.

Six hours later, the OPP found the same vehicle with the same driver in a ditch on the same road. This time, the man’s vehicle was seized and he was charged with another count of careless driving and given a summons to attend court. The rest of the day’s traffic charges included 113 speeding tickets, seven seatbelt infractions, two distracted driving offences due to cell phone use, two suspended drivers and 39 other Highway Traffic Act offences. “Although the campaign is over, the QRTC reminds motorists that police will continue to conduct scheduled enforcement blitzes,” Preston said. “Motorists should be aware of their driving behaviours and make adjustments in their driving habits.” The Quinte Region Traffic Coalition is a partnership of Hastings Prince Edward Public Health, Belleville Police Service, Stirling-Rawdon Police Service, 21 Military Police Flight, Napanee Highway Safety Division and the Bancroft, Central Hastings, Napanee, Prince Edward County and Quinte West OPP detachments.

Dear Editor

Gala shot – Guns `r Us?

I’m not clear as to your intention for putting a photo of a gun toting (guest?) attending the Hospice Quinte Gala, on the front cover of the April 14th Connected community weekly. Was Dean Lindsay on security detail? Is he a detective that forgot his jacket? A thug? This photo is the kind of thing I would expect to see in a Guns R Us publication from south

Master playwright to perform at Stirling By Jack Evans It’s hard to imagine a live theatre fan who has not heard of Canadian playwright Norm Foster. This theatre icon has so far written several dozen successful comedy plays and most of them are being performed at least somewhere almost any day of the year. He is credited with being Canada’s “most performed” playwright. That is substantiated by the fact that some 150 of his plays are being performed each year on a world-wide basis. That being said, one of his most recent works called “On a First Name Basis,” comes to the Stirling Festival Theatre for a five-day run

May 4-8. In the finest tradition of Shakespeare, who frequently acted in his own shows, Foster is the key character in this comedy, playing the Stirling stage for the first time, or any stage in the Quinte area for that matter. The show opens with a matinee on Wednesday, May 4 at 2 p.m. followed by an 8 p.m. show with a pre-show dinner optional. The show also plays at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Friday, May 6. On Thursday, May 5 and Sunday, May 8 the show plays at 2 p.m. only. On Saturday, May 7 the show plays only at 8 p.m. Tickets are $24 for members, $26 for seniors, $28 for non-members plus $25 for a pre-show dinner. For

tickets or information, call (613) 3952100 or toll-free 1-877-312-1162, or visit the website: www.stirlingfestivaltheatre.com. In a telephone interview, Foster said the show is about a spy story writer who has had the services of a maid for 28 years but he knows nothing about her, while she knows everything about him. On one special night, he decides it is time to find out for himself, leading to a two-hour, drunken conversation full of laughs and tears. A number of Foster’s works have been performed by various amateur and professional companies across the area over many years. The Belleville

Theatre Guild, for instance, is mounting a repeat performance of his play, “The Melville Boys,” as part of its next season. So popular is Foster’s work that a Foster Festival gets under way in St.Catharines this coming June as a permanent new theatre festival. Foster was born in Newmarket, Ontario, but grew up in the Maritimes, where he got into radio and thence into local amateur theatre, which in turn led to his decision to write plays himself, he said. As for the humour: “When I was growing up, our family watched a lot of television comedy shows, with greats like Jackie Gleason, Jack

Benny and Milton Berle. That kind of comedy got ingrained in me.” Starring with Foster is actress Trish Vanstone or Toronto, also making her first appearance on the Stirling stage. ‘I’ve heard many good things about the theatre,” she said, “and I’ve known David Vanderlip (theatre manager) for many years as a good friend.” She said she and Foster have developed a great stage chemistry as her role of a street-wise girl connecting with the erudite writer. One of Foster’s more recent plays, “On a First Name Basis” has already been widely performed internationally and has proven popular with audiences.

‘Over 30 years in the Quinte Region’ Section B - Thursday, April 28, 2016

A comedic touch for history of Trenton base By Jack Evans CFB Trenton’s first 80 years of history provided a wealth of information for air force historian Maj. Bill Arthur in a talk to the Hastings County Historical Society at Belleville’s Maranatha Church. The speaker, an official air force historian, laced his talk with a generous helping of wit and humour, delighting a large audience. Typical were his comments about paratroopers. “Nobody in their right mind jumps from a serviceable flying aircraft with or without a parachute,” he declared. He had similar quips about landing on an aircraft carrier and his fellow armed services, the army and navy. He also commented on the solid concrete structures which still stand on the base, part of the community’s requirements for the project to make sure they could not get torn down and moved as so many military bases had. “Now they’re still there and we can’t tear them down even if there

was a good reason because they are designated heritage buildings,” he quipped. Legends of a deal with the defence department being consummated on the late Senator Fraser’s yacht with a bottle of liquor cannot be substantiated, he said, but there were good reasons also. The air force had been impressed with the Quinte area’s suitability from the First World War flying station at Deseronto, and liked the rural setting combined with good highway access and labour pool for construction and civilian employment. He talked about the early training aircraft such as Siskins. Many crashed, but there were few fatalities. Similarly, the bright yellow used for such aircraft was deliberate to make them easy to spot if they crashed, whether in forest or snow. Almost all of the planes used by the Canadian air force drew colourful nicknames. The famous but illfated Arrow, for instance, was called

a “dart.” He showed a photo of one which actually landed at Trenton, among the many famous aircraft and people that have visited the base over the years. During the Second World War, CFB Trenton also played a significant role in Hollywood wartime propaganda movies, such as “Captains of the Clouds,” starring James Cagney, with large photos shown on the screen to support this. Also Tyrone Power in “A Yank in the RAF.” The British Commonwealth Air Training Program, he said, was a highlight of the base’s history, drawing thousands of air crew from all over the world for flight and other specialized training. He

credited then-prime minister McKenzie King for spearheading it in the hope of avoiding the horrendous casualties of the First World War. He also did an exercise with the audience to illustrate the massive casualties for Bomber Command, in the Second World War, where only one in three odds were expected for a person to complete their regular number of missions.

For the future, he predicted extensive continuing construction, but nothing much new in aircraft as the money has run out. On average, he noted, “it takes 15 years from the time the air force asks for a specific plane before it is actually purchased.” He suggested if one were buying a new vehicle today, even gasoline might not be available in 15 years.

Quinte Conservation plans for future By Jack Evans After existing for several decades and frozen in time in budget restraints for the past several years, Quinte Conservation Board members decided last week it is time to plan for the future. That, said general manager Terry

Murphy, includes a “succession plan” for staff as well as future facilities, specifically a new headquarters building, now overcrowded with staff and gear from taking in three areas, plus the push for source water protection and the continuing Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan.

The large barn on the property, originally designated for storage, remains in danger of severe damage if not complete loss from high winds, Murphy added, and suggested that if the barn were to be torn down, that space, already on the agency’s property, could be used for a new office headquarters. His specific request was for a special committee to meet “as soon as possible” and report back to the board with proposals and data. The motion was approved.

Murphy also filled the board in on a festering situation at the popular Vanderwater Conservation Area near Tweed. The authority learned, by accident, said Murphy, that approximately 400 metres of Moira River shoreline in the Vanderwater Conservation Area is not, in fact, owned by the authority. While, according to official deeds, the land is not in title to Quinte Conservation, the authority has used and managed the area for 40 years. Murphy said the land is connected to a property on the opposite side of the river, the new owner of which is now seeking to reclaim for his use. An immediate impact of this is the annual Scout camp event

held there, which has traditionally used that portion of the park. Murphy said any offer of purchase to complete the park’s boundaries properly has been rejected and it is a difficult situation. But, for the current summer, the owner has given permission for the Scout camp’s use in return for legal access to his part of the property across Conservation-owned property. Murphy gave no explanation of how the error in the park’s boundaries occurred in the first place. A report from staffer Christine McClure on this year’s spring runoff showed no serious problems with typical runoff problems and no flood threats.

MPP Todd Smith named Natural Resources and Forestry Critic

The MPP from Prince Edward-Hastings has some new duties on his plate at Queen’s Park. This week, Progressive Conservative Party leader Patrick Brown added the Natural Resources and Forestry portfolio to Todd Smith’s list of responsibilities, which already include his Caucus’ response to the government’s Hydro One sale. “Obviously, any time you’re given extra responsibilities, it’s an honour.” Smith stated. “In the wake of a budget that just raised a number of fees for fishing, hunting and camping in 2017, I think it’s important to people in my riding that extra attention be placed on these matters.” The increase in responsibilities to the PC Caucus comes after a couple particularly busy weeks for Smith at Queen’s Park where he hosted Prince Edward-Hastings Day and led the PC Caucus fight to keep Provincial and

Demonstration Schools open beyond the 2016-17 school year. That includes Belleville’s Sagonaska Demonstration School. “I think over the last few weeks, we’ve taken on areas beyond the Hydro One sale and shown that we could play a bigger role going forward inside the caucus.” Smith added. “As I said, it’s a real honour to play a bigger role in the caucus as we look toward hopefully forming government in 2018.” Smith went on to elaborate on some of the Natu-

ral Resources issues that he’s had to deal with as MPP for Prince EdwardHastings and how dealing with those constituent concerns will help him in his new role. “Obviously the wind turbine issue in

Prince Edward County has given me some background in endangered species but there have been forestry issues in North Hastings, conservation issues across the riding and the Sandbanks Provincial Park issue in the

County that all touch on my new job.” Smith concluded. “At the end of the day, it’s about results and that’s what I’m hoping to achieve both for people in Prince Edward-Hastings and now across Ontario on this file.”

Common weeds in Clost’s Commons By Dan Clost I raked our lawns this past week. All is well including the weeds; in fact, they’re doing quite well. Actually, now is perhaps the best time to scout your greenswards and winkle out the unwanted squatters. Here are the four most populous in the Clost Common. Henbit, Lamium amplexicaule, looks like purple dead nettle. The difference between the two is that the latter is not found on our piece of this good earth. Both are members of the mint family- the giveaway is the square stem. The differences, unless you get close, are subtle. Henbit leaves are a bit smaller, sort of scalloped and they have no petioles or leaf stems; they are attached directly to the stalk. The really fancy way to say that is “amplexicaule”, which is the

word you skipped over near the beginning of this paragraph. Henbit has many uses not the least being a source of pollen and nectar; however, it does not belong in my greensward. Fortunately, it uproots quite easily requiring only a moderate tug. You could look for little plants in the early fall or wait until spring when they’re much easier to spot. No pesticides required. Dandelion, Taraxacum officinale, has a cheerful yellow flower which youngsters often pick as their first bouquet for mom. Yes, we are familiar with the dandelion but did you know that the cypselae are oblanceoloid shaped and are attached to the pappi? Sure you did; here’s the translation: the fruits are sort of lance shaped (a bit broader at one end) and are stuck to the end of the parachute. So when the wind blows the little ball of cotton, each seed heads off on its own journey. It is often a very short journey- from my upwind neigh-

The QuinteWest News published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are! THE

bour’s yard down to mine. You can eat the leaves in salads, bake the roots and make ersatz coffee and the flowers are often used for wine. When they bloom, you know it is time to sow squash and beans in your garden. Dandelions are useful and pretty but they don’t belong in my lawn. I favour the stand-up claw type weeder. I don’t have to bend over and it requires very little effort. Diligence would be the watchword; when you see the first hint of yellow, grab the big stick. It is helpful to drop a couple of grass seeds in the now-open space. No pesticides required. Creeping Charlie, Glechoma hederaceae, has many similarities to henbit except it grows along the ground. The stems are square, the leaves look the same but with petioles, it has a minty smell when crushed and the flowers are blue to purple. This chappy could also be related to Hydra as each chopped up bit left laying on the soil can generate a whole new plant. If you find

this plant in your lawn, do your best to nick it out in the early spring and then grow good grass. Good cultural practices for lawns are not what this weed wants. Diligence is the watch word here, too. . In Ontario, borax is listed as a Class 11 pesticide and can be used for cosmetic purposes. Borax, mixed properly in solution, is effective but you need to be precise with your arithmetic. Too little and you waste your money; too much and you kill more than you want. Also, borax is persistent so should only be used once a year. My preference- doesn’t use borax, use your hoe. Creeping Bellflower, Campanula rampunculoides, is a bane in our flower beds in spite of the pretty blue flowers. Rob Sproule calls it the Zombie Weed. I’m not really a fan of weed mats but this would be one situation meriting its use. Forget chemicals. When you see the pretty flowers, yank the plant out of the ground and put it into the trash, not the composter.

TRAVEL

A visit to the birthplace of watchmaking

By John M. Smith The beautiful, cosmopolitan city of Geneva, Switzerland is located in the southwest corner of the country, on Lake Geneva, near the French border and at the foot of the Jura Mountains. It’s known as “the birthplace of watchmaking”, site of the International Museum of the Red Cross and Red Crescent, and home of the European headquarters of the United Nations. In addition to these points of interest, Geneva has several other unique offerings: 1. Jet d’Eau: Geneva’s main landmark is this giant water fountain that spews out about 500 litres of water per second to an altitude of 140 metres. During high winds, the fountain is shut off – to avoid spectators being drenched! 2. Free Transportation Pass: This is given to all hotel guests in the city, and it includes the lake ferry as well as bus transportation. It’s a great way to welcome tourists! 3. One of the World’s Largest Mechanical Clocks: Since watchmaking is so important in Geneva, you’d expect to find museums depicting the history of watchmaking here, as well as a plethora of watchmakers’ shops. However, you’ll also find one of the world’s largest mechanical clocks, with a pendulum that’s 30 metres in length, in the lobby of Geneva’s Hotel Cornavin. You’ll also be able to stroll by a very popular Flower

Clock in this city, with 6500 flowers in the dial – and the world’s longest seconds-hand! 4. Brunswick Memorial: The Duke of Brunswick bequeathed his fortune to the city in exchange for this impressive mausoleum that was built here in 1879 in neo-gothic style. A statue of the duke on horseback sat atop this monument, but it was moved from here for safety reasons. 5. Sisi Statue: It’s erected in memory of Elisabeth, the longest-reigning Empress of Austria and also the Queen of Hungary, who was stabbed to death while visiting Geneva on Sept. 10, 1898. She died in her hotel room in the Beau-Rivage later that day as a result of the wound that she’d received while out walking, and this memorial statue is located directly opposite this hotel. 6. Broken Chair Sculpture: It’s erected by Handicap International at the entrance to the Palais des Nations (European headquarters of the United Nations), and the broken leg symbolizes an opposition to land mines and cluster bombs. 7. St. Peter’s Cathedral: It was built in the 12th century, on top of archaeological sites that date back to the first century, and it was eventually transformed from a Roman Catholic Church to a Protestant place of worship in the 16th century (during the Reformation). John Calvin preached here from 1536 – 1564, and the austere looking, stripped interior of the then Protestant Church reflected his Re-

formist teachings. 8. The Reformation Wall: This historic monument depicts the main figures of the Protestant Reformation, including John Calvin and John Knox, and they’re carved directly into the old city walls. A motto is inscribed in Latin: “Post Tenebras Lux” (which translates as “After darkness, light”). 9. Calvinus Beer: This unfiltered, organic brew is now available in local supermarkets and bars. What would Calvin himself have thought about this? 10. Promenade de la Treille: It claims to have “the largest bench in the world” (126 metres) and offers great views over the Promenade des Bastions. 11. Newspaper Stands: They trust locals and tourists here, for the newsstands have a price posted, but the doors are not locked. People are expected to pay and then take a newspaper from the open box - and, yes, it seems to work! 12. The Celebration of L’Escalade: On Dec. 11, 1602, a woman named Mere Royaume poured a cauldron of piping-hot vegetable soup over the head of an enemy soldier who was trying to scale a city wall and invade Geneva on behalf of the Duke of Savoy. The invasion failed, and the event is still celebrated annually – with a torch-lit procession in historic cos- Gazing up at the towering mechanical clock in Geneva’s Hotel Cornavin. tumes and a huge bonfire in Cathedral Square.

Awards scant for local theatre groups By Jack Evans Belleville Theatre Guild participants returned from the annual Eastern Ontario Drama League competition with two awards. The result is likely to be somewhat disappointing for local theatre fans as the BTG has traditionally been hugely successful at this event, not only for Belleville, but other Quinte area amateur theatre groups. This year though, stiff competition was fielded by Northumberland Players with “Boeing Boeing,” and host Peterborough Theatre Guild with “Of the Fields Lately.” Belleville’s entry drew two awards though, Outstanding Student Contribution to Gian Paulo Lattanzio for stage manager and Meaghan Lattanzio as Best Cameo Performance in the local guild’s entry, “Later Life.” Northumberland Players scooped up four awards: Best Production, Best Costuming, Best Visual Presentation, and Best Actress in a Major Role. Host Peterborough took six awards with their pro-

duction of “Of the Fields Lately:”- Adjudicator Award, Set Design, Acting Excellence,, Best Actor in Major Role, Best Use of Speech, and Best Production of a Canadian Play. Prince Edward Theatre won an Adjudicator’s Award for “Time Stands Still,” as well as an award for Acting Excellence to Karry Cole. Meanwhile, the BellevilleTheatre Guild has announced its program for the new 2016-17 season, starting with another evening of one-act plays Aug. 31-Sept. 3. Then Oct. 13-29 is the blockbuster “On Golden Pond..” The classic comedy, “Arsenic and Old Lace” plays Dec. 1-17 followed by another staging of the Canadian hit comedy, “The Melville Boys,” Feb. 2-18. Based on the famous Jane Austen novel, “Pride and Prejudice” comes alive on the Pinnacle Playhouse stage March 30-April 15. The season closes with the traditional musical, next year’s being “Little Shop of Horrors,” a hilarious chiller. For details: www.bellevilletheatreguild.ca

Source protection QHC staff promotes committee has vacancy organ donations April, apart from signalling spring, is officially “Be A Donor Month,” to encourage more donations of vitally needed organs and tissue. Such donations can mean the difference between life and death for thousands of Canadians every year. In the forefront of this promotion are staff members of Quinte Health Care, most of whom have already signed up to donate their organs or soon will be, through the Trillium Gift of Life Network. The network co-ordinates organ and tissue donations for transplantation across Ontario. Quinte Health Care became a “designated” hospital in June of 2014, QHC officials explained. Prior to this status, there were often delays between time of death and knowledge of organ donations. Sarah Corkey, manage of QHC’ss intensive care unit, said that since the relations hip began, “Staff have really become engaged and the results are phenomenal. This last quarter , we realized a 93 per cent notification of deaths to Trillium Gift of Life network, which means that nearly all potential donors are being considered at the time of death.” She expanded: “Between April and December of last year we

Section B - Thursday, April 28, 2016

had four organ donors where eight people benefitted and from April of last year to last February we had 28 eye donors from three of our hospitals – Belleville General, North Hastings and Trenton Memorial. These donors, over the years, have changed the lives of countless recipients.” Trillium Gift of Life officials note that “one organ and tissue donor can save up to eight lives and enhance 75 others through the gift of tissue.” But, they note, this is not possible “without our hospital partners which make such transplants possible.” Hospital employees encourage other citizens to get involved in this life-saving effort by registering their consent online with the QHC campaign page at: www. beadonor.ca/quintehealth care. All that is required is one’s health care card. “You can also visit this page to check the status of your current situation concerning organ donations,” said Dr. Carolyn Tram, critical care physician at QHC Belleville General Hospital. She added that so far, only 29 per cent of Ontarians are registered. “It is extremely challenging to have enough organs to meet the demands of the patients in need who are out there,” she said.

The search is on for a new member of the Quinte Region Source Protection Committee who can represent small business and small industry in the Quinte region. The Committee vacancy was discussed at the Quinte Conservation Source Protection Authority meeting on April 21, 2016. The Source Protection committee has produced several reports since its formation in 2007 including the provincially approved Source Protection Plan. The plan contains policies setting out how 11 local municipal drinking water sources are to be protected. Implementation of the Plan began January 1, 2015. “We are looking for someone with experience and knowledge in the small business or small industry sector who has an interest in protecting drinking water sources,” explains Keith Taylor, Source Water Protection Project Manager at Quinte Conservation. “Among other qualifications this position requires a multi-year commitment, an ability to understand scientific and technical reports, and attendance at the two or more Source Protec-

tion Committee meetings held each year. Applicants must also live or work in the Quinte region,” adds Taylor. The successful candidate will fill one of five economic sector seats on the committee; along with two representatives from agriculture and one each from large business/large industry and tourism/recreation. The committee also includes a chair, five municipal and five public representatives, two First Nations members and three non-voting liaison members. The committee makeup is set out in provincial regulation under the Clean Water Act, 2006. Future work of the committee includes the review of new scientific and technical information to ensure that the Source Protection Plan and its supporting reports remain current and relevant; and amending and updating documents as required by the Clean Water Act, 2006. Taylor advises anyone wishing more information to contact him at Quinte Conservation, 613-968-3434 extension 114, or check the official notice posted at QuinteSourceWater.ca.

Loyalist grad rate continues strong at 87.4 % Belleville – A Loyalist College education continues to offer a great chance at finding work, according to provincial job placement figures. College officials said they are pleased with Provincial Key Performance Indicator results released recently by Ontario Colleges. They show that 87.4 per cent of Loyalist’s most recent graduates found employment within six months of graduation. That’s above the provincial average of 83.6 per cent. “We are very pleased with this outstanding result,” said Loyalist President Maureen Piercy. “The college has a strong tradition in graduate employment. Loyalist grads have always achieved high placement rates relative to the college system, and once again this year our results are above the provincial average, and right at the top in Eastern Ontario.”

Other KPI results for Loyalist show strong satisfaction rates above the provincial average for graduate satisfaction (81.6 vs. 80.3), employer satisfaction (92.2 vs. 91.4), and student satisfaction (79.4 vs 76.8). The graduation rate of 66.7 percent is equal to the provincial result. “We review the annual KPI results as part of our continuous improvement process,” said Piercy. “While there are always opportunities for improvement, the results this year really speak to the excellence of college programming, teaching and the Loyalist experience for students. The provincial government and the colleges have been gathering the annual data on college results since 1998. The most recent KPIs were gathered by two independent research firms, from March 2015 to February 2016.

Ontario’s ‘remarkable cardiac care’ reducing heart disease’s impact

By John Campbell

Campbellford – While heart disease remains common, accounting for 375,000 emergency room visits in Ontario each year, it’s becoming less of a risk to people’s long-term health and continued survival. “We‘ve come a long way in terms of our understanding how to treat patients so that they have a longer, healthier life,” Dr. Joseph Ricci, chief cardiologist for the Rouge Valley Health System, told a small audience who attended the 16th annual health forum sponsored by the Campbellford Lions. Heart disease is no longer the number one cause of death in North America, Ricci said, in large part because of “lifesaving strategies that go beyond” medication and surgery. “We are fortunate in Ontario ... to have pretty remarkable cardiac care,” he said. Cardiovascular rehabilitation services are provided for free at sites across the province, including 14 within the Central East Local Health Integration Network, such as the Hastings Field House (Mondays 1-3 p.m.). All are within 30 minutes travel time for patients.

The services combine education, exercise, counselling and support administered by a multidisciplinary team of health professionals over a 12-month period. “One heart attack shouldn‘t have much effect on your health,” in fact, it can be “a good thing,” Ricci said, by serving as “a warning sign” that “a different approach” is needed in how you go about life. “The most important thing is what you do to prevent yourself having future problems,” he said. “We have really good evidence that you can reverse heart disease,” by exercising and taking aspirin along with certain medications. The benefits of cardiovascular rehabilitation is a 20 to 30 per cent reduction in mortality and cardio-related hospitalization, fewer risk factors and an improved quality of life. Currently about 3,300 patients a year make use of the service and the goal is to increase that number to around 5,000 by next year. Amber Heath, the regional coordinator of the cardiovascular rehabilitation program, said two-hour classes are held once a week. “You‘re not exercising the whole time,” she stressed, and the exer-

cises are designed for each person, for at home as well as in the community setting. The education sessions deal with different subjects, such as how to manage stress. Trent Hills community services officer, Peter Burnett, said he “can attest to the success” of the program, because

he has seen what it has done for a close friend who suffered a heart attack last November. The “improvement in his overall fitness and stamina is amazing to see,” he said. To learn more about cardiovascular rehabilitation in this region, call 1-855448-5471.

Beware of bogus CRA calls: Police

The Belleville Police Service is reminding the public about the prevalence of phone scams and frauds with people posing as representatives of the Canada Revenue Agency. These fraudsters are advising that they are agents or officers employed by the CRA and threaten arrest or legal action if individuals do not provide money or other personal information. Although the call may appear to be local, as it may have a 613 area code, it is not originating from this area, police say. The CRA and other government agencies will not contact individuals in this manner and attempt to obtain personal information. Do not engage in conversation with these individuals and/or provide personal information. In fact, end the call immediately, police say. If anyone has provided personal and/or credit information to these individuals contact the Belleville Police Service to report the incident at 613-966-0882 ext. 2211.

Earl Prentice School children totally immersed in Earth and Water matters

By Margriet Kitchen

Marmora – What were you doing for Earth Day, April 22? Like many other school communities in Canada, the children from Earl Prentice in Marmora spent part of their morning cleaning the school yard and surrounding area, includ-

ing the fairgrounds. Miss Murphy’s grade one/two class were responsible for collecting garbage in front of the school on William Street and both parking lot areas east and west of the school. Others were busy cleaning at the fairgrounds. During the same week, the entire school population, many of their

family members and teachers attended the Ripley Aquarium in Toronto. Earlier this spring, the school learned that they had been awarded one of the few educational trips offered to schools in Ontario by the Ripley Aquarium through their Sea Scholar Program. As part of their original application,

children took part in a video, took ‘shark selfies’, and did comprehensive write-ups on aquatic life. Along with the generous support of the school council, the trip became a reality, with four packed highway coaches providing a comfortable trip. Funding was also provided through the Department of Education supplemental transportation allowance. An additional educational facet of the outing was that the children were able to compare the rural area they are familiar with, to the huge city of Toronto, with its different landscape, structures and pace of life. After a self-guided tour of the Aquarium, with lots of opportuGrade 2 students from Earl Prentice School, Marmora, Wyatt Pressick, left, and Neveah Whiteman, take in the Ripley’s displays.

Aquarium staff met with the group, and advised that their film was an outstanding effort and as a result has been distributed to all the Ripley Aquarium sites. Vice Principal, C. Brault commented, “Our school has been turned into a pseudo-aquarium, since the children have been researching all kinds of aquatic life, and posting their findings, photos and drawings on the bulletin board! This has been a great experience for the entire school as one identity, since in the fall of 2017 they will be amalgamating with the Marmora Senior School.” To learn more about the Ripley’s Aquarium, visit https://www.ripleyaquariums.com/canada
