ENSS entices young runners with Time Trials meet By John Campbell Brighton – The track stars of tomorrow – too young to be even in school – got a feel for what it’s like to race 80 metres in front of spectators last week. The youngsters, along with students from area schools, were invited to take part in East Northumberland Secondary School’s Time Trials track-and-field meet. The event held April 27 was the school’s way of “reaching out to the community” and having “some fun” while allowing the parents and friends of ENSS athletes to cheer them on as they prepare for upcoming
competitions, coach Anne Falla said. “Unfortunately it was a little cold [which] kept a few spectators away but the kids had a good time, and I had a lot of really positive feedback from the parents of the little ones who ran, so that was really nice.” Joining the pre-schoolers were students from Brighton, Spring Valley and Murray public schools, along with students from Quinte Christian High School. It was East Northumberland’s first Time Trials “and we’ll do it again,” Falla said. It “gives our kids an opportunity to do a little bit of racing in a more relaxed environment,” similar to an intra-squad meet.

Businesses could open on stat holidays, council hears
Brighton – Retail businesses could soon be open on statutory holidays within the municipality, if there’s little opposition to the idea. On May 2, council briefly received a report from staff in advance of the upcoming public meeting to be held on May 16. “Staff won’t be speaking at this public meeting,” Linda Widdifield, director of finance and administrative services explained during her report. “This will be a chance for council to hear from those in attendance.” A public meeting process must occur before a bylaw is passed. Anyone in attendance may speak in favour or in opposition of the idea so council may consider input prior to passing a bylaw, Widdifield said. Under the Retail Business Holidays Act, Section 4, council may permit retail establishments to open on holidays, for the maintenance or development of tourism.
However, council may only consider such a bylaw after an application from a person or an association representing businesses. Both the Brighton Downtown Business Improvement Association and Mike and Lori’s No Frills have recently submitted applications to the municipality, asking council to adopt a bylaw. In Widdifield’s report, it states, “with tourist attractions such as Memory Junction, Cricklewood Farm and Proctor House Barn Theatre, and the Apple Route running through the downtown core, as well as the close proximity to Presqu’ile Provincial Park, it is important for businesses to remain open on statutory holidays to maintain tourism.” If the bylaw is successful, Mayor Mark Walas clarified this wouldn’t obligate businesses to open on holidays – this will only permit businessowners to open their doors, if they choose. “If council receives a lot of opposition, they may have to reconsider and take some time to think about it,” Wid-
difield said. If there isn’t a lot of opposition, council can pass the bylaw on May 16, the director continued. While the province makes regulations outlining tourism criteria, a retail business establishment may be permitted, by bylaw, to open on holidays if it’s located within two kilometres of a tourist attraction or if it relies on tourists visiting the attraction for business on a holiday. The public meeting is slated for 6:30 p.m., in the council chambers. In other council news: Physician recruitment remains at the forefront for residents. While Monday’s meeting began with an announcement concerning Dr. Harrison Bishop, some residents remain worrisome. During announcements, Walas read email correspondence from Dr. Bishop, confirming his arrival in mid-2017. The e-mail Walas read aloud, outlined Dr. Bishop’s excitement to set-up in Brighton, to provide day-to-day care in the clinic, his extended interest in geriatrics and how Dr. Bishop will be accepting new pa-
tients. But despite this, a doctor shortage crisis still exists and a huge void needs to be filled, said resident Nancy Mann, during the citizen comments portion of the meeting. On April 11, council agreed to increase the doctor recruitment budget to $100,000. A follow-up meeting to discuss recruitment is slated for May 11
at 4:30 p.m. “I’m just hoping that a whole month won’t have passed with nothing having been addressed,” said Mann. The Brighton resident expressed concerns over all levels of government essentially passing the puck, in regards to who’s really responsible in terms of recruitment. Continued on page 4

Mann says she and Donald Adams, who’ve both been reaching out for answers recently, have heard statistics about an increase in transfer funds to the provinces, to help with health care, but fears money won’t reach small towns like Brighton. “We’ve heard how Brighton has the first family health care team, but most of us who contributed financially to its development, don’t have access to the facility…We’ve heard how the government has increased enrolment into med school programs. What we haven’t heard is what we are doing right now to deal with our doctor shortage.” Mann also questioned the ministry’s involvement to date. David Green, another resident, who spoke during the citizen comments portion of the meeting, said
previous actions of three councillors have set the community back. Green was referencing councillors Steven Baker, John Martinello and Roger McMurray’s previous decision to not support a motion regarding a report on physician recruitment. Walas assured residents “a lot of work has been taking place behind the scenes.” He explained how Chris Farley Ratcliffe, a regional advisor for Champlain and South East, from Health Force Ontario Marketing and Recruitment Agency will be in attendance on May 11. Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi will not be able to attend, due to a prior commitment. But, Walas said Rinaldi could come to council at a subsequent meeting. “At this point, we thought it was
more important to have Chris come, rather than reschedule the meeting,” he said. Coun. McMurray has been putting together correspondence for the meeting, including potential solutions, “trying to think outside the box,” and consulting others, he explained. Coun. Martinello did not agree with Green’s statement. He said he tried to put forth a motion during the budget process for $30,000 for phlebotomy (blood taking) services. He said, he and others previously “asked and pleaded” for $100,000 to be budgeted for physician recruitment and years ago, he suggested council re-form the physician recruitment committee. Coun. Martinello said he didn’t support the previous motion because it was “redundant.”

His desire rather than support the motion would have been to meet the next day and start working. Coun. Baker was not in attendance. Walas said council would appreciate the public’s attendance and help for the upcoming meeting, that council would welcome and consider ideas such as Mann and Adams’ nurse practitioners clinic suggestion. The municipality is also moving forward with the recruitment of a CAO and director of public works. This was the announcement made Monday, after council met in closed session on April 28, regarding an update in the process. Walas said negotiations are continuing and he’s confident in the very near future more details will be finalized and announced. The municipality has also declared
this week, Mary Poppins Week. East Northumberland Secondary School students have been performing the musical recently. Students perform again on May 5, 6 and 7. Council has also agreed to help with transportation costs for the Community Connections Expo event, so residents may attend. The event is in Cobourg, on June 3 and 4. The $1,000 in funding will come from the economic and community development budget. Council has denied the request for Brighton Cruise Night to change locations and use King Edward Park’s parking lot. Walas and Coun. Mary Tadman were supportive of the request. The remainder of council, alongside staff, cited concerns over limited parking and a need to provide parking for users.

Municipal staff also carry photo identification at all times, Walas noted. In the event that someone shows up at a residents’ door, individuals may also ask to see that identification. “We encourage residents to only allow someone into their home, if they are absolutely certain,” Walas said. Residents are also encouraged to doublecheck before signing any documentation or paperwork.

OPINION
Iraq: Failed state Property prices in central Baghdad are as high as London’s, even though Iraq’s national income is down by 70 per cent since the collapse in the oil price. Islamic State’s bombs regularly devastate parts of the capital, and still the real estate market booms. Gwynne Dyer Why? Because there is so much “dirty money” in Iraq that needs to be laundered. If you lack the political clout to get your stolen money out of the country, then the safest course is to put it into residential property. Although that’s not a very safe bet either when the entire pseudodemocratic system bequeathed to Iraq by the US invasion is on the brink of collapse. Last weekend’s intrusion into the Green Zone, the vast (10 sq. km) blast-walled government compound in Baghdad, by thousands of angry Iraqis was probably the beginning of the end of the current dispensation in Iraq. After only two days, they left again after delivering an ultimatum calling for wholesale reform of the government, but they vowed to return if it does not happen. It will not happen, and they will be back in the streets soon. Former prime minister Nouri al-Maliki, forced from power in 2014 after Islamic State forces conquered the western half of Iraq, has been plotting a comeback with other parties in parliament. He may not succeed, but he and his allies are certainly able to block the passage of most measures they do not like. The cement binding Maliki and the other plotters together is their determination to retain the utterly corrupt system that has allowed them to loot the country’s oil wealth for so long. The oil wealth is a great deal less now, but it is still practically Iraq’s only source of income and they have no intention of giving it up. The man who replaced Maliki, President Haider al-Abadi, is in relative terms a reformer. He belongs to the same Dawa Party as Maliki and cannot afford to get too far out of touch with his power base.

Nevertheless, almost a year ago he promised that he would replace many of his cabinet members, drawn from the various parties in the ruling coalition, with “technocrats” who would (theoretically) be less likely to steal the government’s money. He couldn’t deliver on his promise, however, because any cabinet changes have to be approved by parliament. Three times Abadi’s proposed reforms were rejected by parliament. It was after the last time, in April, that Moqtada al-Sadr, a populist cleric with a big following among Baghdad’s multitudinous Shia poor, ordered the invasion of the fortified Green Zone. That did force parliament to approve of five of Abadi’s cabinet changes, and more will probably follow. But changing the figureheads in the government ministries will not end the looting of public funds, which permeates the system from top to bottom. Indeed, you might say that corruption is the system in Iraq. Like several other oil-rich countries, Iraq distributes some of the cash-flow to the citizens by means of paying them to do nonjobs. Most of the rest is stolen by the 25,000 or so people who hold senior administrative, political or military positions, leaving a small amount for public works. There are seven million government employees in Iraq, in other words, a large majority of the adult male population, and most of them do little or no work. Indeed, some of them don’t even exist, like the “ghost soldiers” whose pay is collected by their officers. Collectively they were paid around $4 billion a month, which was all right when monthly oil income was up around $6 billion. It is so dysfunctional that little is being done even to repair the Mosul Dam, which requires constant work on its foundations if it is not to break and drown Mosul, four hours downstream, under a 24-metre-high wave. The wave would be much lower when it reached Baghdad two days later, but it would still be big enough to wreck property values for a long time to come. All this talk about the Iraqi army driving Islamic State back is just hot air. The only Iraqi military advances have happened under the cover of massive US air strikes, and the government’s own attention is elsewhere. So, increasingly, is that of the population. But Islamic State is still paying attention.

The toll on first responders lost on most of us
You could see the exhaustion and shock on the many of the faces of firefighters who battled flames on three fronts at last week’s fire and suicide at Sills Road and Highway 37. Volunteer firefighters sat chugging water bottles while some of their fellow first responders quelled the dying remnants of the fires that raged through two outbuildings and what was once a handsome, new home on the corner lot. Many afterward would surely ask themselves “What the hell was that?” as they replayed the events of the early morning roll-out that saw them come upon raging fires on three fronts and the shocking image of a man’s body, splayed lifeless in the driveway of the flaming house, bearing stark signs of a fatal gunshot wound. In a statement, days later, Belleville fire officials commented that April 29 was “… a long and strenuous day for Belleville Fire Fighters from Stations 3 and 4 — their efforts under very difficult and trying circumstances is also recognized and very much appreciated.” To say the least. These men and women are volunteers who have regular jobs – carpenters, farmers and the like – who get paged maybe the odd time a week to drop everything and assemble either at a volunteer hall or at a fire scene to put out the occasional grass fire, or, in some cases, at motor vehicle collisions, or in some cases serious ones involving death, serious injuries sometimes requiring dismantling a vehicle to pry someone from the wreck – extrication, it’s called. But, the cumulative effect of the more serious of these incidents can take its toll on any first responder – be it a cop, firefighter or EMS personnel. Imagine, then, the impact of the volunteer department in a small, rural town in Alberta, when this kind of crazy happens. According to The Canadian Press, a firefighter who battled the flames that destroyed a railway trestle bridge northwest of Edmonton last week has now been charged with setting the fire, as well as others in and around his community. That’s right. One of their own – setting fires that had every one of his comrades
scrambling night and day to extinguish blazes. The town itself was spooked. Mounties said Lawson Michael Schalm, 19, of Mayerthorpe faces 18 counts of arson following an investigation into a recent rash of fires, including the one on that spectacularly destroyed a wooden CN train bridge on April 26. Chief of the town’s fire department, Randy Schroeder, confirmed that Schalm was among the firefighters who fought last week’s fire on the bridge. “The entire department is shocked and in disbelief right now regarding the situation,” Schroeder said on Sunday. “It’s almost grief-like symptoms at this point.” In 2014, the CBC reported on efforts to help volunteer firefighters experiencing mental health issues related to PTSD. “A lot of times you wish your mind would remove what your eyes have seen, some of the fires you’re going to and some of the smells and things that you see at the fire,” Dawson City Fire Chief Jim Regimbal told CBC News. “You put them in the back of your brain, but they have a tendency to creep back up.” The Ontario government has recently taken steps to develop a safety net for regular and volunteer firefighters who are experiencing PTSD. Career and volunteer firefighters in Ontario who experience post-traumatic stress disorder will automatically have their claims for compensation processed, the Liberal government announced in February. New legislation, dubbed “Supporting Ontario’s First Responders Act” was introduced by Labour Minister Kevin Flynn last week. Ontario follows Manitoba, which enacted legislation last year, and Alberta where such protection became law in 2012. Some of us have heard the old rivalry betweenpolice and firefighters over whose job is tougher; have maybe even carped ourselves some time about the salaries paid to full-time career firefighters who stack the overtime like cordwood and star on the annual Sunshine List. But, most of us didn’t roll out of bed last Friday morning to race to a scene where three buildings were ablaze and the gruesome scene of a dead man was their greeting in the driveway, either. PTSD? Yes, you could say it happens.

NOTICE OF STUDY COMPLETION
County Road 2 Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study from Hamilton Road to Burnham Street / William Street The Study The County of Northumberland (County) has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for improvements to County Road 2 from Hamilton Road in the Municipality of Port Hope (Port Hope) to Burnham Street / William Street in the Town of Cobourg (Cobourg) to study how to best address operational deficiencies and the need for additional east-west transportation capacity in the area (see map). The Process This study is being carried out in accordance with the planning and design process for Schedule ‘C’ projects as outlined in the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007 and 2011), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. Key Elements of the Recommended Design The study recommends the following improvements to benefit all users of the County Road 2 corridor: Rural Section (Hamilton Road to New Amherst Boulevard/Lovshin Road): • A road widening along the north side of County Road 2 to accommodate a centre two-way left turn lane • A 1.5 m wide paved shoulder on both sides of County Road 2 • A 3.0 m wide off-road multi-use trail on the south side of County Road 2 • One roundabout at the Theatre Road intersection • Lowering the posted speed from 80 km/h to 70 km/h • Relocation of the Burnham Market’s access onto Apple Orchard Road, including a dedicated southbound right turn lane from Apple Orchard Road onto County Road 2. Urban Section (divided into two sub-sections): New Amherst Boulevard/Lovshin Road to Rogers Road: • A road widening along the north side of County Road 2 to accommodate a 4-lane urban cross section from New Amherst Boulevard/Lovshin Road to Wilkins Gate • 1.5 m on-road bike lanes on both sides of County Road • A 1.5 m concrete sidewalk on the south boulevard of County Road 2 Rogers Road to Strathy Road: • A 3.0 m off-road multi-use trail on the north side of County Road 2 from Rogers Road to Strathy Road Structures: • A separate multi-use trail structure south of the CPR Bridge Structure • A separate multi-use trail structure south of County Road 2 over Gages Creek Waterfront Trail Feasibility Study The findings of the Waterfront Trail Feasibility Study, completed as part of the EA, recommends that prior to implementation of the multi-use trail on County Road 2, the shoreline option will be examined further at each phase of County Road 2 construction to determine if the trail will be built along the shoreline, along County Road 2, or as a hybrid trail with sections along both the shoreline and County Road 2 that provide an overall continuous off-road trail system. An Environmental Study Report (ESR) has been prepared to document the planning and decision making process undertaken for this study. The County intends to proceed with design and construction of the project following completion of the Class EA as per the phased implementation plan outlined in the ESR.

Fish stories everywhere at Ryken’s Pond Castleton – Rainbows everywhere – and not a cloud in the sky. Well, that was at least true Saturday when Warkworth Community Service Club held its annual fishing derby for
children 14 and under at Ryken’s Pond north of Castleton. The weather was good and so was the turnout, with 187 children accompanied by families fishing for 280
rainbow trout that had been stocked in the pond. Two youngsters tied for hauling in the largest fish, six pounds, 10 ounces, but 12-year-old Ethan Scaletta, of
Trenton, was declared the winner, as he caught his first, before three-yearold Blake Milne, of Campbellford, brought in his catch. The weather wasn’t so pleasant on

Alie and George Ryken were again the hosts, as they have been since 1989. The two-day event isn’t a fundraiser for the club but a service it provides for area children and their families. “Most years we pretty well break even,” collecting enough to cover the cost of the fish, feed, prizes, and other expenses, said Dave Smith, chair of the organizing committee. However, it does make money for Percy Minor Hockey which sells burgers, hotdogs and drinks.

New look for long-time Brighton business By Sarah Hyatt Brighton – Fashion was at the forefront downtown Brighton on the weekend. After months of renovations, Louise Boers, revealed the Clan Shoppe’s new look on April 29. “This is an investment into our community,” Boers said. Boers, owner of the long-time downtown business, says for 32 years the Clan Shoppe has had an exceptional clientele following and community support. “We just thought it was time to reinvest in the store and bring it up-to-date for our customers and potential customers – it was time to reinvest in our community,” she said.
The new look features a “more open feel to the store,” and improved lighting. The flow and store set-up has changed. “It flows much better now and we wanted to make it more cheery and bright – a warm, great feeling environment,” Boers explained. Moving forward, Boers says the plan is to continue to push the Clan Shoppe as a destination spot for specialty occasion wear and to continue to bring business to town. The Clan Shoppe continues to build on a number of fashion lines to offer a wide selection of price points. “This really is a store for everyone now – a place for people of all ages, from 20 to 90,” Boers said. “We have a large assortment and variety.” Mayor Mark Walas, who was on hand for the big reveal Friday, praised Boers for her commitment to constant development and to reinvent the longtime Brighton business. “The Clan Shoppe has remained an anchor store and destination stop for 32 years,” he said. “This is exceptionally important to a vibrant downtown.” Walas is thrilled for Boers and the latest evolution of the Clan Shoppe, he added. The Clan Shoppe is located at 47 Main St. People are invited to drop in and

OPP Report:
Man charged with assaults, ordered to stay away from family members
Where there’s a willow, there’s a way for kids to have fun By John Campbell Warkworth – Primary students at Percy Centennial Public School will be able to watch the newest additions to their playground grow and turn green in the coming weeks. They’re eco-structures made of living willow that Jill Pillsworth and Jackie Stafford, owners of Warkworth Willow Works and The Branch Ranch, put together with the help of parents and students. The two women donated their labour and the school council dipped into its reserve to pay for the material. The idea for the eco-structures, a dome, a tunnel and a longhouse set on a layer of mulch, was brought forward by Jenny Madden and endorsed by her fellow council members, who budgeted $750 for the project. “It just sounded so great,” said school council chair Cherie Whalen. “As much as we would like to update the playground that we have now,” it‘s too expensive, she said. “This was something that was financially feasible for council to do.” Madden said it‘s much cheaper

Writers turn out in support of independent booksellers Brighton -- “There is nothing dearer to a writer’s heart” than independent bookstores but they’re “a dying breed,” says author/historian Elizabeth Abbott. To help stem the tide, she and scores of other writers across Canada spent a few hours last Saturday lending their support to local booksellers.
The Canadian Authors for Indies Day campaign took Abbott to Lighthouse Books in Brighton, where fellow bestselling authors Jennifer Robson and Michael Redhill made appearances as well. When Abbott, who has written histories about Haiti, celibacy, marriage, mistresses and sugar, started her career “there wasn’t the crisis” with independent bookstores declining in
numbers. “You didn’t think of them as being an endangered species and now they are, so we have to work really, really hard to support them,” Abbott said. Robson, who has written three international bestsellers set during and after the First World War (Somewhere in France, After the War is Over, and Moonlight Over Paris), sat with Abbott at a table ready to engage people

as they entered Lighthouse Bookstore. She said independent bookstores had been “crowded out by the big box stores” in the west end of Toronto where she lives but there has been a “resurgence” the last few years which makes her happy. “I love that I can take my kids into a bookstore and the staff recognize us, they remember us, they know the kinds of books that we like to read,”
Robson said. “It’s that personal touch ... I want to see these bookstores stay open and thrive.” Working in the book business “is not the path to riches but it’s a path to professional contentment,” Robson said. “Working as an author is the best job I’ve ever had. I just love everything about it, there’s no downside.” She gets to stay home with her two children, as well as travel and “meet amazing people.” Robson’s next book, due for release next year, is about a young American woman who starts work for a magazine in England during the Second World War, “when things are pretty dire. France had fallen, the Battle of Britain is just ramping up and it looks as if Germany will invade any moment.”Abbot’s last book, Dogs and Underdogs: Finding Happiness at Both Ends of the Leash, released last year, was about her work as a dog rescuer and animal advocate.

tor meadow of flowers for butterflies and bees. A trail planned through the habitat will eventually allow visitors to enjoy this side of Paradise. “Locals are grateful,” says McRae, “because they know that the marsh will never be developed for housing. For me, it is a victory already, being a buffer for our true gem, Presqu’ile.” Plans for the Gate House itself are still in flux. What is definite is that McRae will have his office there, and conduct workshops, and consideration given to a nature store. “But,” he says, “I know that I have already achieved what I wanted to do, to con- Doug McRae and Trees Ontario crew planting, with Gate House in the serve the land.” It is now an empty distance; Photo by Cheryl Lafferty palette that he will adorn. On the same day as the saplings were introduced to their final home, the MOTUS wildlife tracking system tower (antenna) was relocated from the park to McRae’s property. The antenna monitors the flight patterns of migrating birds tagged with individually coded, ultra-light chips. Each antenna has a 20-km range and requires an open sweep of sky, so McRae’s field is a valued improvement in reception. Visibly proud of his achievement, McRae says, “I’m struggling with a name for my conservation area.” Any ideas out there? (Brighton resident Vic Schukov is a long-time journalist and writer of biography books for everyday people. Please visit his website at www. foreverwithyoumemoirs.com; victorschukov@gmail.com )
Brighton - From the age of four years old, Peterborough-born naturalist Doug McRae developed what would be a lifelong attachment to the natural wonders of Presqu’ile Park. His regular visits since 1970, inspired him to research and publish The Birds of Presqu’ile Park (1980). His clear concern and deep love for conservation evolved naturally: From 1984 through 1987, he was the park’s Head Naturalist, and he has resided in Brighton ever since. As the owner of Shrew Solutions, McRae provides biological inventory consulting- nature’s version of a building inspector - to organisations like the Canadian Wildlife Service, the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Royal Ontario Museum, and the public. He says, “Many owners of large acreages adore nature, but don’t know what they have, so I give them a profile of their flora and fauna, an ecological classification with recommendations on how to manage it all.” McRae is concerned that in the 45 years that he has attained a familiarity with the region, he has seen the disappearance of huge areas of wetland and birds associated with it. So when the former Brighton Arts Council’s Gate House recently went up for sale, he bought it just to preserve its adjoining 9 acres, half of which is marshland. Last weekend, Trees Ontario - a program devoted to restoring provincial forests - planted 1,500 cedars, white pine, Tamarac and spruce on McRae’s nature reserve.

Invisible Braces
Dr. Brian Ho Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that corrects teeth that are crowded, protruding, or too far apart. Until recently, orthodontic treatment was focused mainly on teenagers, and the preferred method was metal train-track braces. Today, about 20% of orthodontic patients are between twenty and sixty years of age. Dental researchers have produced a revolutionary new technique that has brightened the smiles of thousands of patients. The system is called Invisalign®, and it’s the invisible way to straighten teeth using a series of custom-made, nearly undetectable aligners Here’s how it works. During your consultation, we decide if Invisalign is right for you. We create a treatment plan, take an
impression of your teeth, and submit it to Invisalign who translates our instructions into a series of medical-grade plastic aligners. Each one of your comfortable aligners is precisely calibrated and manufactured to fit snugly over your teeth and gently move them through every stage of your treatment plan. No more metal in your mouth means you’ll smile more during treatment, and you’ll spend less time in our office having adjustments! Because Invisalign aligners are removable, you can still enjoy your favorite foods and smile without holding back. With Invisalign, there’s nothing to avoid and nothing to hide! We welcome you to call our office to ask questions, or to arrange a consultation to discover how Invisalign can help give you the smile you’ve always wanted!
Dr. Brian Ho is a general dentist practicing at Trenton Family Dental in Trenton, Ontario. He can be reached at 613.394.3883 or trentonfamilydental@gmail.com, or by visiting www.trentonfamilydental.com.

Hospice goal reached despite gloomy day By Sarah Hyatt Brighton – Absolutely every person deserves to truly live, right up until the last moment of his or her life. And people deserve to live up until that very last minute, with dignity and as comfortably as possible. This was the message Community Care Northumberland was sharing over the weekend, as the seventh annual Move For What Matters walk and fundraiser kicked off National Hospice Palliative Care Week. Hosted for the second consecutive year in
Brighton, at Memorial Park on Main Street, supporters of the event rallied together Sunday, May 1, despite a dreary, dark rainy day. This year’s goal was to raise $10,000. And by mid-afternoon, despite the cancellation of the five-kilometre route in Proctor Park due to weather, that goal had well been exceeded. “We support people and families throughout the county, from the time of diagnosis, to beyond death,” Cheryl McFarlane, regional hospice and palliative care program coordinator explained.

That’s why this event is so important, she says. Specifically, the Move For What Matters walk supports the visiting Hospice Palliative Care program. “This is the unique part of what we do, because we can jump on-and-off these journeys with people and their families as needed,” McFarlane said. “We offer a unique gift in that we have the time to sit and listen, time to help fill voids or even help with a scrapbook, if that’s needed. We can go to people’s homes and support a person or family there, or we can go to the hospital and support people there. They lead and we follow.” The goal of the visiting hospice program is centred on this concept – that regardless of where a person lives, they should have access to good, quality palliative care and supports. It’s events such as the Move For What Matters Walk, which are critical to ensuring these types of support services continue. The visiting Hospice Palliative Care program is offered at no cost. While donations are still expected to trickle in and McFarlane and other staff are encouraging people to still tackle the fivekilometre walk at a later date, as of Sunday afternoon, about $11,500 had been raised for the hospice program. The dark and dreary weather certainly didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits Sunday, staff agreed. “We find people like to be together and get together for this,” McFarlane said. “Communities are joined in spirit all over for this, as various kick-off events take place for the week.” The Northumberland event also serves to continue to increase awareness surrounding
end-of-life care and the services available to all residents of the county. One-on-one palliative support, respite, information services, and care planning, for examples, are all accessible through the visiting hospice program. McFarlane and volunteers also recognize that family members and caregivers need help too. In other words, providing support sometimes may mean providing care for a palliative patient, so a family member can attend a wedding and not worry about his or her loved one, the co-ordinator explained. Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi, who was on hand for the event Sunday, says the demand for such services continues to grow as the population ages. “This is why I have such a soft spot for hospice,” he said. “Because during a time when much help is needed, sometimes people don’t know where to turn to at first.” The visiting hospice program is a good starting point, he added. For those who were planning on participating in the five-kilometre walk, McFarlane encourages you to still do so on a sunny day, when the park isn’t so slick. Community Care is asking people pick up a T-shirt at a local office, if they don’t already have one, take a picture on their hike or walk and e-mail it to admin@commcare.ca. Participants are asked to do this before May 16. Staff is putting together a collage and would appreciate your photos. This is also an opportunity for those who feel as though they maybe missed out due to the weather and would still like to show their support, McFarlane said. National Hospice Palliative Care Week runs from May 1-7.

Brighton – The men and women of Brighton were showing off their community spirit and physiques on the weekend with hopes of helping preserve the town’s heritage. The Let Your Light Shine, a firsttime fashion event to benefit the Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society, drew more than 100 supporters to the Masonic Lodge on Main Street, on Sunday, May 1. “We were absolutely thrilled with the turnout,” said Connie Howell, owner of Red Stone Clothing. Howell, with help from The Shoe Store and owner Kate Lewis, organized the event and provided the attire for the day. Hosting a fashion show is just something Howell’s always wanted to do, she said. And given the long-standing relationship Red Stone Clothing has with the society, it just seemed like the perfect fit, to host the show and lend the society a hand, explained Howell. Red Stone Clothing offers both men and women’s clothing, but also focuses on embroidery and souvenir apparel. With that, also up for grabs at the show was an embroidered portrait of the Presqu’ile lighthouse, crafted by Chuck Howell, Connie’s husband. “Our hope was to raise $1,000,” Howell said. Prior to the start of the show, that goal was more than half achieved. In addition to lending the society a hand with fundraising, marketing director for the society, Dave Sharp, says the show with more than 100 in attendance also served to increase some awareness in the community and shine a light on what the society is doing. “The bottom line is, this event is two-fold,” he said. Thanks to the event, the society

Golden Hawks off to the Dudley By Erin Stewart Trenton – The Quinte West community sent the Trenton Golden Hawks off to the DudleyHewitt Cup in style during the G-Hawks pep rally on Sun. May 1. The G-Hawks took a traditional fire truck ride from city hall and were police escorted to the Centennial Park Amphitheatre where they were greeted by around 200 G-Hawks fans. “The fans here, they’ve supported us throughout the year and I think that’s really helped us and our team to really continue,” said goaltender Daniel Urbani. “So anyone that was coming up to us, they’d be thanking us for a great season but we’d also be thanking them for their support, I think it works both ways.” The Buckland Cup Champions autographed complimentary copies of their Buckland Cup championship photo, compliments of Market High Advertising, and also signed Golden Hawks merchandise and took pictures with fans. Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison said the pep rally is a great way for fans to meet the players and wish them luck at the Dudley. “It was quite important to let them know we are proud of what they’ve done,” Harrison said. “We’re proud of them no matter what they do.” The Dudley-Hewitt Cup Central Canadian Jr.

Yoga helping students cope with stress, prepare for exams By John Campbell Campbellford – They tried it and they liked it. A lot. Now yoga is part of the routine for the Grade 10 girls’ personal fitness class at Campbellford District High School, with the help of a $700 grant from the Ministry of Education. The money, made available through the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Association’s Try Day program, was used to purchase yoga mats, blocks, belts, pose cards and DVD set. The equipment was bought for the girls’ class but phys ed teacher Tracey Gee-Conte said she hopes it will be used by other phys ed classes as well as staff and students, during lunch and after school. “The idea is to make the equipment as accessible to as many people in this building as possible,” she said. Many students have told her yoga “makes them feel really relaxed [and] they can always focus a little bit better the rest of the day, if they‘re feeling stressed or anxious about stuff,” such as upcoming
exams. It‘s “a calming part of their day,” Gee-Conte said, and it also improves their flexibility. The Try Day initiative is designed to introduce students to a new sport or activity and to get young people more active. It also stresses the value of lifelong physical activity. “We clearly have a limited budget,” Gee-Conte said, so “that little extra [funding] goes a long way.” The Grade 10 girls‘ personal fitness class is new and “it‘s been hugely popular,” with 55 girls enrolled in the course, she said. Some girls “aren‘t interested in the traditional sports and competition as much as they are their own personal health and fitness.” Yoga instructor Lori McNally was brought in last week for one class to demonstrate different poses and stress relief techniques. Yoga is “very important for concentration, it helps kids to focus,” she said. “You learn to train your mind to filter out all kinds of stuff that‘s going on around you.”

Catwalk 4 Change event raises money for wheelchairs By Stephen Petrick Quinte West – The National Air Force Museum had a glitzy and glamorous feel on Saturday night, as dozens of community leaders gathered to support the Wheelchair of Hope Foundation. The foundation hosted Catwalk 4 Change, a black tie dinner and fashion show to raise funds for a good cause. Wheelchair of Hope is a relatively new, non-profit organization that raises funds to provide wheelchairs for those in need. Its founder, John Cairns, said a donation of a new high-end wheelchair often represents something much more than a seat with wheels. To some clients, it represents and opportunity to get out and about more, participate in community activities and have a great social life. “We provide freedom through the gift of mobility,” he said. The foundation takes in donations of unneeded wheelchairs, but funds are needed to refurbish the wheelchairs The Wheelchair of Hope board of directors includes (from left) founder John Cairns, Matt Sweet, Glenn Lidstone, Ashley Rushnell, Lucas Wiseman, Mike Wilcox, Dianna Cairns and to industry standard and provide them to clients, at no Garnet Thompson.

costs. Many wheelchairs are expensive to maintain, Cairns explained, as a new battery could cost $300 to 400. The event is estimated to have rasied about $15,000, but all the bills had not yet been tallied, said organizers. Cairns is thrilled with the support the foundation has received in its short history. This was the second annual Catwalk dinner event and dozens of people, dressed to the nines, attended the event, including several councillors and business leaders from both Quinte West and Belleville. A long list of wellknown Quinte-area businesses sponsored the event, too. The event also featured a fashion show that celebrated diversity, as some of the models strolled down the catwalk in wheelchairs. The support was appreciated Cairns said, as the foundation continues to grow. So far, it’s provided wheelchairs to about two dozen clients, but the list is expected to grow. “That (list) is growing exponentially,” Cairns said.

Picton-area port being given new life
By Jack Evans
The Picton area is not going to go down as just any port in a storm. The foresight of a Kingstonbased business family is transforming an abandoned loading dock into a major shipping terminal with results that are so huge, even its new owners are overwhelmed, Hastings County Council learned Thursday. In a presentation to council, Ben Doornekamp related his family’s investment of purchasing the former Bethlehem Steel property on Picton Bay just a kilometre or so out of Picton, refurbishing its original loading equipment and finding business opportunities far beyond what they envisaged when they bought the property. There’s also a matter of needing another $40 million to obtain modern unloading equipment to make the port more cost effective and capable of handling the needs of area manufacturers. He sees the future as a major port to serve all of eastern Ontario, competing with current facilities at Montreal and Hamilton. Attending coun cil to support his presentation were Prince Edward County Mayor Robert Quaiff, MPP Todd Smith and MP Mike Bossio. The scope of the project can be a major local economy game changer, with established interest by major industries throughout the region for both importing raw materials and exporting manufactured goods. The cost, for instance, of ship travel, is $3.50 per metric tonne per 500 km. compared to $560 per metric ton for heavy trucking…a saving of $200 million per year for the private sector in trucking alone. Coupled with that is a green factor spin-off
plus a saving in road maintenance. But Highway 49 will definitely see much more traffic, Doornekamp cautioned. It wiil also need to be rebuilt. He said when the company looked at the Belleviille area for port usage, he was amazed at the volume of manufacturing business the community churns out. When fully operational Picton Terminals can handle 100 vessels a year. Each vessel represents approximately 350,000 kilometres of heavy trauck traffic removed from area roads. Carbon emissions from ships are only 10 per cent of the equivalent in truck traffic also. The company estimates some 500 jobs will be involved in the new operation, including both new and retained jobs. Demand for the terminal so far has included local quarries, dement plants, grain and agricultural operations and several major manufacturers, such as the Napanee tire plant and Procter and Gamble. The ships can also avoid lengthy border crossing problems and delays by moving large quantities directly to major United States ports and other world-wide ports. His presentation generated much excitement around the council chambers and drew an immediate motion to support the operation and encourage both federal and provincial governments to help fund the necessary improvements, as they have done for other port developments. A property that has sat idle and abandoned for several decades is shaping up to be a major economic boost for the entire central Ontario region. Doornekamp also invited the public to tour the facility.

Bridge Street Church was crowded with about 90 players for a final rehearsal Sunday evening for a special concert combining Quinte Symphony and the Northumberland Orchestra. The concert, this coming Sunday, May 8 at 2:30 p.m., is a first-time event for both orchestras, presenting a concert that will justify musically their joining forces. Not only was the front of the church filled to capacity with dozens of players, the building was more than filled with the harmonic sound emanating from the enlarged orchestra. The program will include Poulenc’s beautifully haunting and inspiring “Gloria,” featuring a full choir plus soprano soloist, the Quinter area’s own Elizabeth MacDonald. Also on the program is the evergreen symphonic favourite, Mussorgsky’s, “Pictures at an Exhibition.” Tying in with that will be a display in the church of local art works from Gallery 121. An original Canadian clarinet concerto by M. Baker called “Concerto for Clarinet, Piano, Percussion and Strings,” will top off the program. Tickets, at $25 for adults, $20 for seniors, and $10 for students are available at the Quinte Arts CounJohn Kraus, conductor and music director for The Northumberland Orches- cil Office, Sam the Record Man in tra, leads the combined Northumberland and Quinte Symphonies through the Quinte Mall, online at www.thethe Poulenc “Gloria” Sunday evening in a final rehearsal in the player- quintesymphony.com or at the door.

Black plastic not recyclable, QWS says Quinte Waste Solutions is getting ahead of the gardening season to notify residents that black plastic is not recyclable, and is not accepted in the blue box. The gardening season produces a large amount of planters, pots, and even soil bags. And while a lot of these can be put in the blue box, there are rules. “The plastic processors who purchase this material from us do not want black plastic, or dirty plastic. It’s not recyclable,” said Dan Orr, Communications Coordinator for Quinte Waste Solutions. “The revenue we see from sales goes directly into our operating budget. If dirty or black plastic makes its way into the plastic we sell, it counts as contamination, and we see less revenue, which then has a direct effect on municipal taxes.” Other coloured planters and pots are accepted, but they must be clean, have a recycling
symbol with a number 1, 2, or 5 on them, and be free of hangers and handles. Stack the clean, non-black planters and put them in your blue box with your other clean plastic containers. Soil bags are recyclable, but they must be clean, dry, and stuffed into a bag with other film (soft) plastic bags, such as grocery bags. Place this bag of bags on top of your paper-designated blue box on reAs this illustration shows, black plastic is not recyclable. Submitted photo cycling day. “If you’re not willing to clean out these pots and planters, don’t put them in the blue box. Ask your garden centre or nursery if they will take back black plastic planters, or find ways flyers. coupons. deals. cash back. to reuse them,” said Orr. “We’ve been talking about our operating budget for a few years now, and many savings come from how and what we all put to the curb on recycling day.” For more information visit quinterecycling.

TRAVEL
A Visit to the Huron Historic Gaol in Goderich, Ontario
By John M. Smith
While in Goderich, Ontario, sometimes referred to as “the prettiest town in Canada”, and home of the world’s largest operating salt mine, my wife and I decided to take a tour of the Huron Historic Gaol, for this imposing octagonal building served as the County Jail from 1841 to 1972. There’s a lot of history within these walls, and it’s now a designated National Historic Site and operated in conjunction with the Huron County Museum. This particular historic “gaol” (the English spelling of “jail”) served the dual function of jail and courthouse until the County Courthouse was opened in 1856, and the first Huron District Council meeting was actually held right here on its third floor on Feb. 8, 1842. The governor, who was the head guard, lived right here with his family, on the second floor, until a wall of a courtyard was eventually knocked down and new, much more luxurious living quarters were constructed for them. This early 20th century Governor’s House, that’s attached to the historic gaol, is now a part of the tour. We proceeded down a long tunnellike entrance before arriving inside the
gaol and then ascended the stairs to the third floor to begin our self-guided tour. We learned that there were only 12 single cells in the entire facility, and 3 of these were reserved for women. The unique design of 3 cells per wing in each of 4 wings supposedly allowed segregation of prisoners according to sex and severity of crime, said to be a “revolutionary advancement in early prison reform”, but overcrowding and “slips” led to some serious difficulties here, at times. For example, we learned that although this gaol was originally meant to be a temporary holding facility for criminals, there was certainly a wide variety of “criminals” housed here, and the facility was also used to house the homeless and the insane. We visited the cell blocks, the gaoler’s first apartment, the kitchen, laundry, and surgeon’s rooms, and the inner courtyards, where prisoners could get some exercise while surrounded by the towering 18 foot rock walls that were also 2 feet thick and topped with loose stones. The prisoners were not to escape! We also discovered that there were many little anecdotes mounted on the interior walls of this historic gaol that detailed the background of some of the many prison-
ers who spent time here. We read of Richard, Prisoner #320, age 33, who was arrested on Nov. 4, 1852 for “drunkenness”, just 4 days after arriving in Canada, and he was released the following day. Somewhat similarly, Maria, Prisoner #1982, age 28, was arrested on June 22, 1866 for the use of “insulting language”, and she was also released the very next day. We read of William, Prisoner An exterior view of the Huron Historic Gaol. #1748, who was committed to the sons, and one of them was that it was Goderich Gaol on Dec. 14, 1864, age the site of Canada’s last public hang49, on the charge of “selling liquor ing, in 1869, and a colleague of mine, without a license”. He was released John Melady (a former Vice Principal on Jan. 13, 1865. at BCI) wrote a book about this in A more harrowing personal account Double Trap: The Last Public Hanging is that of Louis, Prisoner #6, age 29, in Canada.

that James Donnelly had been imprisoned there, and when I began my teaching career in a Stratford high school (Stratford Central Secondary School), one of the books that I was required to teach was The Donnellys Must Die, by Anglican minister Orlo Miller. This is a look at a true event, the massacre of the Donnellys by a vigilante group, and it occurred in Lucan, Ontario (near London) in 1880. An area newspaper proclaimed that “the massacre of the Donnelly family, in the township of Biddulph, by an armed mob, is a crime which has no parallel in the history of Canada”. This book led to lots of interesting class discussion, and I’ll always remember that, one day after class had ended, the last student to exit my classroom came to me and confided that he was a distant relative of the Donnellys, and he thought that this was an important historical case and book to be studying! That has always remained with me. Yet another reason for visiting this gaol was that Steven Truscott had been there, too. Some of you may remember the famous case of that 14 year old boy who, in 1959, was found guilty of the rape and murder of his classmate and was to be hanged. I was told that as he sat in his cell, he could hear banging outside, and he imagined that someone was building his gallows! If you remember this case, you know that he was eventually acquitted of the murder in 2007. Tours of the Huron Historic Gaol are inexpensive ($7.50 adult; $6.50 senior), and during the summer there are even special interactive “Behind the Bars” tours available on Tues. and Thurs. evenings for $10.00 ($25.00 per family), with “actor prisoners” telling their stories.

LIFESTYLES
The Good Earth:
Pest management has rules, regulations
Dan Clost In Ontario, the regulations concerning the use of pesticides are clear. In a nutshell, pesticides are grouped into Classes, some of which we can purchase off the shelf (Class 11) while others (Class 7) will be locked in a cabinet or storage area. Class 11 includes products such as corn gluten and acetic acid-vinegar. Class 7 chemicals are available for specific, noncosmetic uses, e.g. glyphosate (aka Wipe Out, Roundup, and Glyphos) poison ivy management. There are some variations (Classes 5& 6) which are easy to understand but, not wishing to use up my allotted column space in reprinting pedantic legalese regs, I will give you two options to decipher them. The first is to take a moment to peruse our province’s pertinent website, (www.ontario.ca/page/ pesticides-home-lawns-and-gardens.) The second is to rely on the vendors to offer you an appropriate product. A pesticide vendor must attain certification through detailed training and examination in order to sell those pesticides. That certification permit will be publicly displayed in the store. So, Gentle Reader, chemical and biological interventions are available to you if that is the route you decide to take. I wish you wouldn’t look upon these products as your first line of defense but as something you might employ if other options were unsuccessful. Here are some of those options: 1. Redefine your standards. It takes a lot of input to maintain a pure stand of Kentucky Bluegrass. Sow a mix of bluegrass, fescue, and ryegrass letting the environment sort them out. A monoculture front lawn is attainable without herbicides if you’re willing to invest time by pulling out weeds mechanically. If you’re old and decrepit (I feel your pain) or reckon your personal time is best spent elsewhere, hire the kid next door to pull up the dandelions, plantain, thistles, etc. 2. Pay attention to cultural practices. What are the things you do now which can be modified to improve pest management not pest control? GR, as in B20
Section B - Thursday, May 5, 2016
life, control is an illusion and in the garden environment, control is an unrealistic objective. So, while an insect free front lawn is neither possible nor desirable, you can manage the herd by modifying your actions. Simple things like raising the blade height on the lawnmower makes your lawn less attractive to Japanese beetles: using endophytic grasses, e.g. some fescues and ryegrasses (bugs don’t like the taste, in the mix can deter billbugs from gnoshing on your
greensward. Using less fertiliser is also helpful. 3a. IPM is your guide for intervention. Integrated Pest Management is both an action and a philosophy for managing pests on your property. The key is to identify and monitor threats. If you see a plant that is deteriorating, e.g. a weak stand of grass or a shrub that is not thriving, address that issue before the bugs come along to take their advantage. When you do see bugs, identify them before eradicat-
ing the little buggers. A larval stage of the beneficial ladybug, for example, is a fierce looking chappie that fits well into a post-apocalyptic sci-fi flick where predatory bugs run rampant. Ugly is exo-skeleton deep. 3b. Intervene with the least intrusive and damaging management method available. (Don’t use the sledge if a tack hammer will do the job.) First question: “What will happen if I do nothing?” Second question: “Can I accept that outcome?” If “No.”, you
have two choices. Intervene or grow a different plant. If you grow plums, black knot will be along. Are you willing to implement an annual copper/sulphur spray regimen? No? Then buy plums at the farmer’s market and grow apples. There are always means to circumvent the regulations. If you choose that route, you are not a gardener; you are not a steward of this good earth which sustains us. You are part of the problem. You are not a Gentle Reader.

Climate Action March planned for Belleville May 14
Belleville – While the stories surrounding climate change can be unrelentingly grim – detailing fires, floods, droughts, severe storms and climate refugees – a local Climate Action March aims to lighten the topic with a spirit of fun at a family-friendly event. On Saturday, May 14, Quinte-area citizens are joining with people around the world united in the call for climate action. The goal is to remind global political leaders to keep the promises they made at the Paris Climate Talks last November. The march begins at the Bel-
leville Public Library at 11 a.m., and ends at South George Park on the Bayshore Trail. A traditional Mohawk opening and closing will be presented by Katsitsiase Maracle, grandmother and Cultural Advisor with First Nations Technical Institute. The wearing of costumes and gladrags will turn this march into a parade, to the delight of children and everyone. Participants are encouraged to bring signs about climate change and the upcoming transition from a fossil fuel economy, and groups are welcome to bring their group banners.
Bicycles, skateboards and stilts will make fine non-motorized parade vehicles – and, if decorated, will contribute to the carnival atmosphere. Close to the library, parking is available at municipal lots. At the end point, parking is ample. Accessible bathrooms are available at both the library and South George Park. For more information, contact Lindy Powell at 613-966-8676 or lindymaypowell@gmail.com) or John Lewis (Quinte Biosphere Defenders) at 613-475-5637 or john.travers.lewis@gmail.com .

Madness fishing derby Friday night, where the Hastings Revitalization Association (HRA) will also introduce their fishing line recycling program. “Things are going pretty well,” says HRA secretary Shannon Lawrence of the celebration plans. A “brainstorming” session at the Legion drew 16 people and produced “a lot of good ideas.” The party builds on established events like the Hastings Village Market and the community yard sale in the ballpark, which carry into the afternoon “There is a lot of excitement around the weekend,” says Lawrence. “One reason we’re not blocking the street is because Hastings has had enough of street closures. This is a street opening.” There will be a bouncy castle and cotton candy in the park from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and a decorated children’s bike parade at 3 p.m. The Hastings Legion will serve food from 3 p.m. until 6 p.m., then have a DJ from 9 p.m. until 2 a.m., with the HRA and the CampbellfordSeymour Community Foundation hosting an outdoor family movie night at dusk in the ballpark with popcorn, refreshments and glow bracelets for sale. Lawrence says buskers could be involved in the day-long event, which will include an official recognition by Parks Canada – perhaps a cake or ribbon-cutting. “Parks Canada wants to be involved.” Hastings Waterfront Festival vendors will be contacted and encouraged to set up in town. Lawrence will also talk to downtown businesses about a sidewalk sale. The festival itself, will hold a pancake breakfast Sunday morning. Other groups, like Community Care and the Hastings Library, will be asked if they’d like to participate. Organizers will also speak to the Community Refugee Project because the sponsored family will be settling in Hastings, Lawrence said. “It would be nice if they were at something large like this to provide information, so people know what to expect and kind of get rid of some of the fallacies.”

Tonnes taken out of fields, ditches, streams in Trash Bash
The Quinte area is a lot cleaner after more than 1,500 participants collected litter for the 16th annual Quinte Trash Bash Community Challenge that concluded on Saturday, April 23. Residents of Belleville, Quinte West and Tyendinaga filled eight large dumpsters and 14 recycling carts with materials collected from roadsides, parks and ditches. In ad-
dition to standard litter such as coffee cups and plastic bottles, event organizers reported mattresses, furniture, tires, bicycles, used motor oil and old car parts among the items pulled from public spaces during the event. “Some participants were so enthusiastic they’d come back to grab more bags and continue their cleanup,” says event volunteer For-

That same enthusiasm was displayed by local businesses and schools. Participation in the Business & School challenge, an event that ran during the week leading up to Trash Bash, more than doubled this year with over 600 volunteers and over 500 bags of garbage collected. It is always inspiring to see youth get involved in this event and this year was no exception. A record number of students from across the three communities bashed trash on Earth Day on April 22 and once again, Quinte Secondary School’s Leadership Class organized cleanup events at their feeder elementary schools. Thanks to Hastings & Prince Edward Public Health, Acklands Grainger and Rona, participants were well equipped for the task at hand with gloves, garbage bags and recycling bags. Quinte Waste Solutions provided recycling carts to encourage separation of plastic and aluminum. “Trash Bash participants and event volunteers did an amazing job sorting their recyclables this year,” praised Dan Orr, Communications Coordinator for Quinte Waste Solu(From left), Gary Magwood, Kim Payeur and Tom Lafferty worked the station at Belleville’s Market tions. “Thanks to them, 200 pounds Belleville parks department employee Jason Bellis lifts some garbage from a city truck to throw into Square, where they handed out garbage bags to Quinte Trash Bash participants.

DEATH NOTICE
Gosselin, Leonard Emile
February 25, 1932 – April 25, 2016 It is with great sadness that the family announces the sudden death of our dear father, Leonard, at Trent Valley Lodge, in his 84th year. Loving and devoted husband to the late Shirley. Father of Eric (deceased), and daughters Jennifer and Carolyn. Special father-in-law to Robin. Proud grandfather of Alexander, Gabrielle, Kathleen and Siobhan. Son of the late Joseph Emile Gosselin and Minnie Gregory. Dear brother to Jean McCosham and the late Joyce Sproul. Leonard started his working life with the RCAF as radio mechanic. He served overseas for several years until he retired to civilian life in Cornwall, ON where he started a family. Leonard later joined Alcan Inc. in Toronto where he worked through to his retirement. Len took great pleasure in walking through Presqu’ile Provincial Park, working in the garden, woodworking and spending time with his beloved Shirley, the love of his life. We wish to extend our sincere thanks to the many friends, wonderful neighbours and caregivers for their tireless support over the years. Mom, Dad and Eric, you are all together now in Heaven. We miss you today and always. Visitation will took place on Sunday May 1, 2016 at BRIGHTON FUNERAL HOME, 130 Main Street, Brighton, ON. (613-475-2121).

Family praised for Frink boardwalk gift By Jack Evans Plainfield - A new viewing deck as part of the boardwalk trail at the H.R. Frink Conservation Area near Plainfield was made possible by a donation from the family of the original pioneer landowner, the official opening was told last week. A half-kilometre boardwalk has been a feature of the popular park and outdoor education centre for about 20 years after being constructed over two years in 1995-97 by Friends of the Frink support group. Last year, the agency learned that many sections now need replacing so fundraising started. Thanks to a generous donation from the estate of
the late Peter Miller in memory of his late wife and brother, the project added a complete new section and octagonal viewing deck, named the Miller Wetland Ecology Boardwalk. Peter Courtland Miller, late of 282 Thrasher Road, was a great great grandson of one of the original landowners in Thurlow Township, Adam Henry Mott (1837-1920 and Nancy Hicks Mott (1844-1923) of Latta, who settled the land on the southwest corner of Bronk Road/Thrasher Road during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Both are now buried in Victoria cemetery, Bronk Road. Grandson of Miller, W. Mott, was one of the earliest principals of Fox-
boro Public School and first principal of Queen Alexandra School, Belleville (now the board of education offices.) Family history also ties it in with other prominent names, including Pitman, Canniff and Moore.
Peter Miler’s former home backed onto the Frink Centre and he was always very interested in the activity surrounding the wildlife sanctuary and boardwalk and its significance to the outdoor education programs.
Several members of the family were among the almost 40 who attended the official opening April 28 and expressed their gratitude to the conservation authority for naming the deck in Peter Miller’s memory.
More than 40 people attended the ribbon cutting at the H.R. Frink Centre for the newly refurbished boardwalk. Photo Submitted
