Brighton — With the May long weekend just around the corner, Presqu’ile Provincial Park is once again inviting Brightonians to celebrate spring and the beauty nature brings with the changing of seasons.

This May 20 and 21, residents and tourists will have the chance to marvel at the migration of tens-of-thousands song and shorebirds as they return to Presqu’ile and during the park’s longrunning annual Warblers and Whimbrels Weekend festival.

“Basically it’s all about what nature brings us,” said park naturalist David Bree.

“But there will be lots of birds. Personally, the little warblers are some of my favourites because they are so colourful.”

Warblers can be difficult to see though and that’s why volunteers will be on hand to help.

Guided bird walks will start off the festival on both days, with the first walk starting at 6:30 a.m. from the Lighthouse Centre.

For those who aren’t early birds, another walk begins at 10 a.m.

In between, staff and volunteers will be around the Lighthouse Centre, helping to point out whatever birds happen to be migrating through at the time — again, the warblers are usually crowd favourites, said Bree.

Often referred to as the “jewels of the forest” for their varied beautiful colours, experts will help folks to find and identify some of the 20-plus species likely to be present.

While bird watching is often best in the early morning, during migration birds tend to keep active all day, said Bree. In other words, those who choose to participate in later walks should see birds too.

The annual warblers and whimbrels weekend event is filled with “some of the most beautiful and sought after birds for birdwatchers,” Bree said.

“This weekend is packed with activities designed to introduce visitors to these birds and the fine art of bird watching.”

Last year, a huge highlight for the event was the return of the piping plovers on the beach. Prior to 2016, the last time the piping plover nested on the beaches of Presqu’ile was the early 1900s.

The piping plover is a smaller, sandcoloured shorebird that typically nests and feeds along the beaches of North America. It’s because of this conflict it can be quite rare to seem them at times.

As a result, the park had part of the beach roped off to accommodate for and protect the birds in 2016.

The higher water levels this year means the beach is “very wet,” which isn’t ideal for plovers, noted Bree. In early May, a male plover had returned to Presqu’ile but Bree said it is unlikely nesting will occur again this year, because the beach is so wet.

A wet beach is very attractive to other shorebirds, though, said Bree.

A guided walk at 2 p.m., starting from the Owen Point Trail parking lot will offer people the chance to see some of the many shorebirds typically present during this time of year.

While warblers are often hidden, shorebirds tend to stand in the open but their subtle tones of brown, grey and red can also make them a challenge to identify. Guides with spotting scopes will help visitors to get a good look at the 10-15 species that could be present on the beach at one time.

At least a half-a-dozen species have already been spotted so far this year, including the rare piping plover.

“These are true long-distance migrants, many are travelling from Southern America to the Canadian Arctic and are only stopping a few days at Presqu’ile to refuel,” said Bree.

Bird-banding demonstrations will also return this year at the Owen Point Trail parking lot, from 8 a.m. until noon, with licensed bird-banders Elizabeth Kellogg and Roger Frost. “It’s hard to predict what they’ll catch, but they always catch something.”

The activity is weather dependent for the safety of birds. The Friends of Presqu’ile will host a fundraiser barbecue both days, from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m.

“Being it’s the May-long weekend, it is a busy weekend for all Ontario parks — our park is somewhat unique, though, in that usually half the people coming through are wanting to camp and the other half are looking for migrating birds,” said Bree.

The warblers and whimbrels weekend has been a decades-long tradition for many and it’s very well known, added Bree.

He’s so far behind, dinosaurs are more evolved

Dear Editor, Most folks think that dinosaurs are extinct, but I am living proof that they are not. I am so far behind the times that I don’t think that I’ll ever catch up.

The definition of racist in most dictionaries refers to persons who believe that different racial groups on this earth have varying, inherent characteristics that make them more or less desirable because of those traits. So, if were to comment that pygmies from Bora Bora make lousy basketball players, (because they are only four feet tall) I would be a racist.

I would be stating the obvious but I would still be a bad person and would lose my job, if I had a job. I would be publicly shamed on Twitter, whatever a Twitter is and all of my touchy feely friends would chastise me and say that everyone has the ability to be whatever he or she wants, everybody is equal, Praise Justin Trudeau!

Now, if I were to say that lean, muscled bushmen from Kenya run like the wind and cleanup at the Olympics every four years because of their prowess and determination, those same friends would say “ YES ! aren’t they wonderful specimens of creation, oh I wish my husband could run like that. Just look at those legs ! Bravo.”

S

Most of my friends talk out of both sides of their mouths.

My wife loves to feed the birds. Twenty years ago she always sent me out to buy Niger seed to feed the finches. It was spelled exactly the same as the country in Africa. Soon after, I see that bird seed of that variety is spelled Nyjer seed. This silly correction was obviously to avoid offending certain people who cannot spell, go figure.

Now, how about sexism?

I know for a fact that my wife can run circles around me in many pursuits including, making babies, cooking, nurturing and anything to do with being nice to people in general. She is even smarter than me, but don’t tell her I said so. But who do you think is going up on the roof to fix a leak in a rainstorm or drag a dead raccoon out of our pool? You guessed it, yours truly. Certain things I am better at and even like doing and the same is true for her. I even believe that the primary purpose of a woman (and a man) are to reproduce and continue the species, everything else is just putting in time. Make billions creating Microsoft but at least have a couple or three kids. Big fancy careers are great but don’t forget about the rug monkeys.

Lastly. Because I have in the past voiced my opposition to the publicly funded spectacle called the “Pride Parade” I have been labeled homophobic. I am afraid

of grizzly bears and I’m not particularly fond of big hairy spiders, but I am not in fear of homosexuals, I don’t even dislike them as the term seems to imply. I simply dis-

agree with certain aspects of their lifestyle. Is this a crime? In this day and age, it seems that it is.

Oh well, I guess I’m just too old fashioned for my own good.

Extreme rainfall, flood worries cause cancellation of CCN fundraiser SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com

Brighton — The dreary weather and relentless rain that has soaked the region recently also dampened community spirit on the weekend.

With heavy rains continuing through the weekend and with concerns over flooding, Community Care Northumberland (CCN) had no choice but to cancel its Move for What Matters fundraising event.

“Safety for all participants in the event must take priority,” reported Alicia Vandine, regional community relations co-ordinator for CCN on Friday.

On Friday afternoon Vandine regrettably announced on behalf of CCN that due to the severe weather and flood conditions, the event slated for Sunday, May 7, would be cancelled.

“We have been advised that we are unable to hold the event in Memorial Park, due to flooding and that the route through Proctor Park is treacherous at this time,” said Vandine.

The Move for What Matters event is CCN’s major annual fundraiser for the organization’s visiting Hospice Palliative Care program. The event normally takes place during the first week in May, as it’s National Hospice Palliative Care week.

The hospice program supports not only families in the Brighton area, but people across Northumberland. This year’s goal was to raise $10,000.

The goal of the hospice program is to support clients “in living well, until they die.”

The fundraiser stands to ensure trained volunteers can deliver hospice services and end-oflife care to clients, caregivers and families at no cost.

The event also stands to help raise awareness that visiting hospice and palliative care services are available to all residents in Northumberland County.

“Community Care Northumberland staff, volunteers and event committee members are

Rotary Club of Brighton April 2017 CCN fundraiser cancelled

The Snowbirds have arrived after spending much of the winter down south and now, it is time to accelerate the pace on which we do great things for our communities. And we are ready!

A participant at last year’s Move for What Matters event snaps a photo of Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi as he steps to the microphone during the opening ceremony. This year’s event has been cancelled due to recent weather.

This past month, we were able to provide donations to the local summer Youth Soccer league; and “The World of Difference” which is further discussed below. We also contributed to an orphanage in India – the DKSHA program that we have been involved with for many years. Don’t forget – if your group needs some financial assistance, or help with a bbq; just ask for it in writing or via a PM on FB. We will do our best to assist you if our resources allow such.

In fact, we were proud to help out at the annual Community Clean Up program in late April. You might also see us coordinating efforts like we did the first weekend in May by helping the Kiwanis in their annual Fishing Derby – it was our role, along with another community service group, to be responsible for the weigh-in station at Gosport. And, of course, on Sunday, May 7, we were helping out Community Care in their fundraiser at Memorial Park by providing our legendary bbq service.

Our first speaker this month was Helen Walsh, a member of the Northumberland Sunrise Rotary Club. Helen is a Certified Fundraising Executive and came to tell us about Trafalgar Castle School’s “A World of Difference” program. The purpose of this program is to make a difference in the world by first making a difference in the life of a young women. Education is the way to change the world, to empower new female leaders in parts of the world where there are few opportunities.

Another speaking dual was Past District Governor, Michael Phelan and Jim Cremidas, President of Toronto East Rotary Club. They came to bring us up to speed on the Rotary Foundation and how our Rotary District 7070 could obtain more grant money by partnering with other clubs and applying for District Grants. He provided one example of how a local Rotary club contributed $16,000 and after D-7070 grants and Rotary International Grants and searching out some NGO grants, they were able to complete a $88,600 project. Our own Brighton Club contributed $2,000 towards this project. Such is the power of cooperation.

The third speaker this month was Lauren Callahan, a grade 10 ENSS

You may have read her front page article in Brighton Independent in April about her upcoming trip with Global Leadership Adventures (GLA). She will be travelling to Costa Rica as a volunteer working with domestic and wild animals at local vet clinic. At a domestic animal shelter, she will clean and feed dogs and cats. We were pleased to assist Lauren with a small donation towards her cost of this educational trip.

Congratulations to Charlene McAuley of Bigford Road, Brighton who was the winner of our $1,000 prize at our annual Easter Raffle held at Mike & Lori’s No Frills prior to Easter. We almost sold out selling 1007 tickets of 1200 printed.

Again this year, our members are selling the Rotary “Diners and Duffers” book - this package is right full of great discounts at local businesses, restaurants and golf course. Use it once or twice, and it is paid for…. And then… you just obtain some great savings at some great businesses so, please show your support.. if you a book, contact any local Rotarian.

SO THAT WE MAY BE FREE.

Stay tuned for a community announcement about ICE – In Case Of Emergency. More details will follow but what we can tell you is that a group of Rotarians and other volunteers are getting together on May 11 from 5:00-7:0pm to stuff 2,500 plastic holders for distribution to the community in the coming weeks. If you want to help out, let us know.

For every war, there are many who bravely and proudly leave their loved ones behind to protect the freedoms that we as Canadians are afforded.

Our next major fundraiser is our annual Golf Tournament coming up in early June. So, please consider getting a team together and let us know you would like to participate… or if you are a business owner or even a concerned citizen, and you want to show your financial support, we are looking for cash sponsors. Again, contact any of your local Rotarians for more info on our golf tournament.

Finally, should you like to know more about Rotary, drop by during our regular Friday morning meetings at the community centre. For more information, feel free to give Rotarian Dave Sharp a call at 613-475-5109 or look us up on FaceBook at Rotary Club of Brighton.

cated and worked diligently to collect pledges as well as having volunteered their time, skills and energy to make the event a success and we are appreciative.”

Donations that may have already been collected by residents for the event or anyone still looking to make a pledge in support of hospice services can drop off monies at local CCN offices. The Brighton chapter is located at 46 Prince Edward St., unit 13.

“Our event committee looks forward to reigniting this event to raise awareness of our program at a future date,” said Vandine. “We will keep you informed of details as they are available.”

It is these brave few we honour.

OPINION

The Korean Crisis: Why now?

Apart from Donald Trump’s need for a dramatic foreign policy initiative, is there any good reason why we are having a crisis over North Korea’s nuclear weapons testing now?

If the PyongGwynne Dyer yang regime is really planning an underground nuclear test soon, as Washington alleges, it will be the sixth bomb test it has carried out, not the first. That hardly qualifies as a new development that requires urgent action. The same goes for its ballistic missile tests, which have been ongoing for many years. Nothing new is going on in North Korea.

In South Korea, on the other hand, things may be about to change a lot.

The candidate predicted to win the presidency in Tuesday’s election, Moon Jae-in, favours a much softer policy towards North Korea. He has even promised to re-open industrial and tourist projects in North that were financed by South Korea under the last Democratic (centre-left) government.

A decade ago, when Moon’s Democratic Party was still in power in Seoul, he was chief of staff to President Roh Moo-hyun and the so-called Sunshine Policy of reconciliation with North Korea was the order of the day. The goal was to create commercial, financial and personal ties between the two Koreas, and to that end South Korea sent aid and investment to the North.

It’s impossible to say whether that would eventually have led to a less tense and militarised situation in the Korean peninsula, because in the 2008 election the conservatives won and scrapped the Sunshine Policy.

The past nine years under right-wing governments have seen North-South relations re-frozen and the investments in North Korea closed down by Seoul.

In this week’s election, however, Moon Jae-in is far in the lead, with the Eurasia Group, the world’s largest political risk consultancy, giving him an 80 percent chance of winning the presidency. If he wins, he says he will reopen economic ties with North Korea in a policy his advisers call Sunshine 2.0.

This runs directly contrary to Trump’s policy of tightening economic sanctions against the North and even threatening military action to force Pyongyang to abandon its nuclear weapons programme. So the

question is: Has the Trump administration pushed a military confrontation with North Korea to the top of its foreign policy agenda in order to pre-empt Moon Jae-in’s new Sunshine policy?

Given the chaos that reigns in the Trump White House, this may not be the case. It could just be that Trump is making policy on the fly, and that he neither knows nor cares about the domestic politics of South Korea. But some recent US actions point to a deliberate attempt to get the confrontation going before Moon takes office.

One clue could be the sudden rush to deploy the THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) system in South Korea before the election. It’s a system designed to intercept short- and medium-range ballistic missiles of the sort that North Korea might use to deliver nuclear weapons on South Korea (and maybe Japan) if it ever managed to make its nuclear weapons small enough to fit on them.

A reasonable precaution, perhaps – but THAAD was originally scheduled to be installed in South Korea between August and October of this year. Then suddenly it arrived in the country in March, and was “operational” (at least in theory) by last month. Moon will now have great difficulty in reversing that decision, assuming that he becomes president, and the North Koreans are predictably waxing hysterical about it.

On the other hand, Trump shocked the South Koreans by announcing at the end of April that South Korea would have to pay $1 billion for the THAAD system, despite an existing agreement that the US would bear the cost. He also declared that he was going to renegotiate the existing free trade agreement between the two countries.

Which suggests that there is no clever plan, just the usual stumbling around in the dark.

Whether the US is deliberately manipulating events or not, Moon Jae-in will be in a difficult situation if he becomes president.

He quite rightly believes that there is no need for a crisis this year to resolve a problem that has been simmering away (but never boiling over) for at least fifteen years, but unless he goes along with it he will find himself in a confrontation with Donald Trump.

Could he win it? He could if he has strong support at home. South Koreans are divided more or less evenly between a hard and a soft approach to North Korea, but they all agree that they don’t want a war in which they would be the primary victims. Trump’s reckless style could frighten them into Moon’s arms.

Pharmacare should be for all Opinion by Steve Morgan Ontario has announced it will offer a publicly funded pharmacare system for children and youth in Ontario. This is a small step in the right direction, one that is arguably most important for its symbolism in a national debate.

Why just a small step? Because Ontario is adding universal, comprehensive pharmacare coverage to the age group that uses medicines least often. Many working-age Ontarians, who are far more likely to require medicines than children, will still be uninsured.

Why symbolic? Ontario’s new pharmacare program signals that government is taking responsibility for this component of health care, integrating it with medical and hospital care.

This is as it should be.

Several national commissions on Canada’s health care system have recommended adding prescription drugs to our publicly funded universal medicare system. No federal government has ever acted on those recommendations. Not yet, anyhow.

By creating “pharmacare-junior,” Premier Kathleen Wynne and Minister of Health and Long-Term Care Eric Hoskins are in essence calling on the federal government to help finish the job and create a pharmacare program for Canadians of all ages.

Here are four reasons why Canada needs a universal, public pharmacare program — and what Canadians can do to make it happen now.

• The most important reason for universal pharmacare in Canada is that access to essential medicines is a human right according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The WHO recommends countries protect that right in law and with pharmaceutical policies that work in conjunction with their broader systems of universal health coverage.

Consistent with this, every other high-income country with a universal health care system provides universal coverage of prescription drugs. It is time Canada did the same.

• It would save lives. Canada’s patchwork of private and public drug plans leaves millions of Canadians without coverage. As a result, Canadians are three to five times more likely to skip prescriptions because of cost than are residents of comparable countries with universal pharmacare programs.

A 2012 study estimated that inequities in drug coverage for working-age Ontarians with diabetes were associated with 5,000 deaths between 2002 and 2008. Nationally, this human toll would be far greater.

• It would save billions of dollars every year.

Canadians spend 50 per cent more per capita on pharmaceuticals than residents of the United Kingdom, Sweden, New Zealand and several other countries with universal pharmacare programs. This amounts to spending $12 billion more each year and still not having pharmacare.

Why? Because the universal pharmacare programs in other countries use their purchasing power to obtain better drug prices than our fractured system. Among many examples of such price differences, a year’s supply of atorvastatin, a widely used cholesterol drug, costs about $143 in Canada but only $27 in the United Kingdom and Sweden, and under $15 in New Zealand.

• It would help Canadian businesses. The rising cost of pharmaceuticals are a growing burden for businesses. Part of the problem is that Canadian employers waste between $3 billion and $5 billion per year because employment-related private insurance is ill equipped to manage pharmaceutical costs effectively.

Another part of the problem is that the number of prescription drugs costing more than $10,000 per year has grown almost tenfold in the past decade. Because such costs can quickly render a work-related health plan unsustainable — particularly for small businesses — it is best to manage them at a province- or nation-wide basis.

But this will not happen unless citizens speak up.

Billions of dollars in savings to Canadian taxpayers, employers and households equals billions of dollars of lost revenues to pharmaceutical industry stakeholders. Those stakeholders will not likely make it easy for government to implement universal pharmacare, no matter the benefit to Canadians and the broader economy.

To make pharmacare a reality for Canada, citizens need to get informed and involved. If they support the idea of universal, public pharmacare, they need to let others, particularly elected officials and political candidates, know they care and that they will support a government that takes action. There is a parliamentary e-petition circulating right now in the hope of doing just that.

Without such a groundswell of public engagement, it is unlikely the federal government will implement a universal pharmacare program any time soon.

Quinte Health Care gets $3 million boost from province ERIN STEWART erin.stewart@metroland.com

The provincial government is investing $3,005,495 from the 2017 budget in Quinte Health Care to provide faster access to health and expand services and procedures.

Each of Ontario’s 141 public hospitals will receive a minimum 2 per cent increase to its base funding in 2017-18, proposed in the 2017 budget to directly benefit patients, stated a press release from Lou Rinaldi’s office, MPP Northumberland-Quinte West, on Friday

May 5.

Northumberland Hills Hospital will see an increase of $839,395 and Campbellford Memorial Hospital will get an additional $279,300.

“This investment will help to ensure we are reducing wait times and delivering these essential services, when and where they’re needed, right here close to home," stated Rinaldi.

Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison said it’s a fantastic investment.

"Improvements to healthcare in our community are

much appreciated by all residents of Quinte West,” he said.

The funding will provide more access to cardiac services, critical care, organ/tissue donations and transplants, rare disease care, bariatric services and support new and redeveloped hospitals.

It will also improve access and reduce wait times for chemotherapy, stated the release, as well as stroke treatments, hip and knee replacements and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

Cramahe to buy ballot counters, yet to decide on Internet, telephone voting JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com

Cramahe Township — There will be no waiting around for hours to learn the results of next year's municipal election.

The township will speed up the process by acquiring a couple of vote-counting tabulators.

Council also left the door open to voting by telephone or over the Internet in authorizing their potential use along with the tabulators in an enabling bylaw it passed at a special meeting held May 1.

But Mayor Marc Coombs said it's unlikely the township will opt for the alternative voting methods because of the cost.

“We haven't decided anything yet, but if we want to decide on something we had to have a bylaw in place by May 1 of the year before the election,” he said in an interview. “It was more the question about getting tabulators which are machines we can run the ballots through.”

Council had discussed Internet voting when it was considering ranked ballots “but we

never came up with a firm decision but I'm sure it's going to be too much money,” Coombs said. Staff will investigate the options and costs and report back to council.

Director of corporate services and clerk Julie Oram noted in a report to council that voting by mail “has been used successfully in Cramahe since 2003” but there have been “issues with the counting of votes on election night and the delay in reporting the results.”

In a report prepared shortly after the 2014 municipal election, then-deputy clerk Candice Doiron said it took approximately three hours to count by hand the 2,511 ballots cast.

“Although this is not an unusual length of time for a manual count some candidates and members of the public have expressed frustration with having to wait 3 hours for election results,” she wrote, adding council might want to consider online or telephone voting for 2018 as those methods result “in almost instant election results”.

Coombs said the manual

count was “so painfully slow” in 2014 “for the third election in a row” that council decided it would be wise to buy tabulators to speed up the process.

The previous council discussed Internet voting before the last election “and that's when the cost came up and we said, oh, never mind,” he said.

“For a community of 6,000 people it just didn't make sense, it was very expensive.”

He recollected the estimated cost was $25,000 to $30,000.

In her November 2014 report, Doiron said 5,399 voteby-mail kits were distributed and 206 returned as “undeliverable.”

The votes cast represented a 48 per cent turnout.

“With vote by mail, costs to establish, equip and staff polling stations are eliminated,” she stated. “One of the strengths of the vote by mail system is that it permits residents to cast their ballot in their own home thereby eliminating physical barriers. For those voters that did not wish to cast their ballots by mail a poll station was provided at the municipal office.”

Pinnacle Street South residents continue push for cleanup, changes SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com

Brighton — Life on Pinnacle Street South is still messy and “miserable” and not much has changed in the last year, say some residents.

Throughout the summer months of 2016, residents pleaded for the municipality “to clean up the street” and petitioned council for change, asking that the bulk water station on the street be relocated. “It’s still absolutely terrible — I get so

frustrated,” said Ted Baker, who lives at 40 Pinnacle St. S. Residents have long described the street “as a mess” and raised concerns over safety for kids and seniors, with King Edward Park just adjacent to the street and station, and with an abundance and mixture of traffic on the road, in addition to the water trucks.

“The community really should come first,” insists Tommy Walsh, who lives at 54 Pinnacle St. S. “It’s still miserable

here, especially during allergy season — the dust and the dirt is the same.”

In an effort to address some residents’ concerns of dust, noise, traffic, mud and safety, the municipality imposed regulated hours at the bulk water station last year, as residents said trucks were at times, filling up as late as 1 a.m. back then. Municipal staff also vowed, “to keep at the street sweepers”.

But Baker and Walsh say they haven’t seen one street sweeper

to date.

“It’s just, it’s been one year, I thought they would have come up with something,” said Walsh.

“The water truck guys are good guys and they’ve been sticking to the hours, it’s just the location … I mean there are still water trucks in-and-out of here all day, even on Easter Sunday because it’s something like 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and seven days a week.”

Both Baker and Walsh say the dust and mud tossed around on the street is so severe, opening the windows of their homes is pointless. The dust alone also means residents are still forced to wash their vehicles every twoto-three days, said the pair.

In the 2017 budget, council did approve $10,000 for a bulk water station review “to determine the feasibility of moving the station to another location”.

The assessment will also reportedly look at the methods of

mitigation, if the station remains in its current location. An additional $10,000 was budgeted for a Pinnacle Street South curbing project, so “appropriate curbing” will be placed at the station and to provide erosion control.

The specifics and timelines for both projects, however, aren’t known at this time, said Mike Ryckman, the municipality’s water supervisor.

“The paving plants aren’t open yet, but once that’s done that should help clean up the mud issue,” said Ryckman.

The plan is to move forward with both the paving project and study this year, but there are processes the municipality has to go through and it’s going to take some time, noted the supervisor.

“We can’t just pick the station up and move it, we need a plan,” said Ryckman. “I know some gravel was put down … the road is in rough shape. The recent rain is not helping.”

It is unfortunate, the supervisor added, that residents are sort of stuck waiting for the time being.

For Baker, getting the street cleaned up, paved and some roadwork done would be enough. Baker believes some roadwork and paving would go a long way to decrease the amount of mud and dust residents are forced to deal with.

Baker claims residents have been struggling for years and says most days, it looks as though the road is sinking.

Walsh’s main concern remains safety, with so much traffic in-and-out on the street and with the park and arena next door, as well as both Brighton Public School and East Northumberland Secondary School so close.

“It’s just not a good location, when you think about the safety of the kids — it just kills me,” said Walsh.

Warkworth’s new resident musician to open for Nudie at fundraising concert man band."

SUE DICKENS suedickens.wordsmith@gmail.com

Warkworth — A fundraising concert for Ah! Arts & Heritage Centre will feature honky-tonk troubadour Nudie with the opening set by Warkworth’s Billard Blossom headed by Bradley MacArthur.

The concert will be held Friday, May 19 in the Warkworth Town Hall Centre for the Arts at 7 p.m.

For musician MacArthur, whose signature name is Bradleyboy, this will be a premier performance in the village’s town hall.

Moving to Warkworth with his wife in February, their children all grown, they had been visiting the area from their home in Orono for the past 10 years whenever they were “just out for a drive.”

They fell in love with the area and bought some property just outside of the village and are in the process of building a home there.

His old style country roots music is the basis of all he does. Bradleyboy MacArthur is also known as “a suitcase bass drum thumpin', hihat snappin', guitar strummin', banjo pluckin', harmonica growlin', wild dawg hollerin', one-

Met through friends MacArthur told the Trent Hills News that he met Nudie through friends.

“We used to do house concerts in Orono and sometimes shows at the town hall. He was looking for a house show so I said why not do a show at the town hall in Warkworth.”

Commenting on the support he is receiving from the community he noted, “This is something I am going to continue doing. I have a lot of musician friends and they like to play old town halls and stuff and so this will be the kickoff, the first one and then I want to continue playing here.”

MacArthur added, “That’s why we’re living in town while building our home so we can become a part of the community and get involved with different things.”

Tickets Concert tickets are $15. Advance tickets are available at Our Lucky Stars and the General.

lion over four years, starting in 2018-19, to create a centre of excellence on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and related mental health conditions.

The budget also includes $9.2 million per year ongoing, to ensure the centre has the tools it needs.

Proposal A proposal to have the centres of excellence located in Trenton was submitted to Veterans Affairs Minister Kent Hehr about a year ago through the political working group, which includes Ellis, fellow MPs Kim Rudd and Mike Bossio, MPP Lou Rinaldi and Tamara Kleinschmidt, executive director of the Military Family Recourse Centre.

“I’m confident of our proposal currently under review by the Ministry of Veterans Affairs,” said MPP Rinaldi, Northumberland-Quinte West and chair of the political working group.

“I feel we are a strong contender and we as a working group are advocating diligently to make sure that our proposal gets every consideration it can.”

The working group will proceed with identifying key individuals to form the advisory panel.

The first meeting of the advisory panel will take place by the end of July 2017.

Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison said there have been a number of positive developments in healthcare in Quinte West.

“With the work of Our TMH and MPP Lou Rinaldi on the preservation of Day Surgery at Trenton Memorial Hospital, the Healthhub making progress, a thriving Medical Arts Centre, and recent news of a physician who has purchased a building in Quinte West with the intent of housing physicians, we are as a community making great progress,” he said.

“The addition of the Veterans Centre of Excellence would provide much needed specialized services for our veterans and in general be highly complementary to the healthcare system in our community, and region.”

Input needed from Northumberland residents for regional drug strategy SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com

NORTHUMBERLAND — The co-ordinator of a new regional drug strategy is once again urging Northumberland residents to weigh in on the war on drugs locally.

Charles Shamess is zeroing in on substance use in Northumberland, Haliburton and the City of Kawartha Lakes.

His hope is, with input from nearly 50 service providers and the public, the creation of a new regional drug strategy will be the beginning steps in the development of a more practical and holistic approach to address issues of substance use and addiction in the area.

“Public input is crucial to create an effective, co-ordinated drug strategy for our region,” said Shamess.

In recent months, the co-ordinator has been calling on residents to help.

The first step in the strategy includes residents completing a survey. Shamess is specifically urging Northumberland residents to chip in and complete the substance use survey.

The survey asks residents for their input on the harms associated with drug and alcohol use, and also asks them to weigh in on what priorities should be in their communities.

In other words, Shamess wants to know the real issues people are facing when it comes to substance use in their communities. For example, if accessibility to services is an issue, or maybe be a lack of services.

As of Wednesday, May 3, more than 450 survey responses had been collected.

But the bulk of those — around half — are actually from residents in the Kawartha Lakes region, said Shamess.

Northumberland residents who’ve completed the survey only account for about 28 per cent of that total 450. The remainder is from the Haliburton area.

“We weren’t really hoping for a fixed number, as we’ve never done this be-

fore,” noted Shamess.

The strategy is a first of its kind for the area, with the Ontario Trillium Foundation fuelling its creation through a $285,000 grant. The foundation committed to funding the project for three years, starting back in July 2016. With

that said, the hope is work will continue beyond funding.

“We are very pleased with the responses to date. But considering of the three counties, Northumberland is the largest with a population of at least 10,000 more in comparison, we would

like some more Northumberland voices before this survey closes,” said Shamess.

The drug strategy will focus on all substances including alcohol, prescription and street drugs within four key areas: drug use prevention, harm reduction, treatment and justice/enforcement.

The idea is to engage residents and youth. People with actual lived experience, alongside service providers and policy-makers, will uniquely help determine where the most need is. What people are seeing and experiencing — either personally or in their communities — is critical information, insists Shamess.

Professionals from police services, EMS, public health, youth and social service agencies, mental health groups and treatment service representatives, to name a few, have come together for the development of the strategy.

Through engagement of service groups and residents, the goal is to produce a strategy document with recommendations for actions.

Responses to date are already proving helpful, said Shamess.

While it will take more time to compile all information, Shamess can already tell better access to services, more services and a lack of recreational opportunities for youth may be areas the region can improve on.

“We’re already pulling some of the youth service providers together now to begin work surrounding addiction services and preventive programming.

Youth have already been identified as a priority …”

One of the driving forces behind the creation of the strategy, as stated in a previous interview, is the current opioid crisis and growing concerns of fentanyl use.

Work to address both fentanyl and opioid issues is continuing and will be ongoing, in addition to work on the new strategy, said Shamess.

The other half of the driving force to develop the strategy has been the acknowledgment of service providers that the old way and the war on drugs aren’t working.

For those interested in completing the survey but need a paper copy, contact Shamess via email at coordinator@ hkprdrugstrategy.ca or call 1-705-8758728.

Trent River Flood Warning in effect

BY ERIN STEWART

Everyone is advised to exercise extreme caution around all waterways.

Boaters and anglers heading out on the water this weekend should be aware that water flows and levels at the mouth of the Trent River and Bay of Quinte are high.

Strong currents pose a safety hazard.

Areas around water control structures should be avoided at all times.

Residents living along the Lake Ontario and Bay of Quinte shoreline from Grafton to Quinte West are reminded that a flood watch remains in effect for shoreline areas as water levels are well above the long term monthly average.

The last time Lake Ontario reached current levels was 25 years ago.

Water levels are expected to rise through May and possibly June if the rain persists, stated the Lower Trent Conservation.

Lower Trent Conservation monitors water levels and weather forecasts as part of its flood forecasting and warning program. Daily water level information is available at www.ltc.on.ca.

erin.stewart@metroland.com

A flood watch is now in place for the Trent River, from Hastings to Trenton.

Due to the significant rainfall over the past few weeks and no additional storage capacity in the reservoir lakes of the Haliburton area and Kawartha Lakes, water flows and levels on Rice Lake and the Trent River will continue to increase for at least the next seven to 10 days, stated the Lower Trent Conservation in a media release on Friday, May 5.

For residents living along Rice Lake and the Trent River within the municipalities of Alnwick/Haldimand, Trent Hills and Quinte West, water levels and flows will exceed those reached several weeks ago during the spring run-off.

Localized flooding is also possible in urban areas where storm drains may not be able to handle run-off during heavy downpours, stated the release.

Local municipalities are the first to respond to, and assist with, flood emergencies. Residents requiring assistance should contact their local If you have concerns about water levels, conmunicipality. If you experience a flood emertact Lower Trent Conservation at 613-394-4829. gency, call 911.

Spring into fashion this Mother’s Day weekend at Trinity St Andrew’s

BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton — Community spirit will be in fashion this Mother’s Day weekend.

On Saturday, May 13, the sixth annual Spring Fundraising Fashion Show returns to Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church.

Three ladies are leading the charge for the show and have united a contingent of volunteers to help.

Those women are Gina Boyd, owner of G. Boyd Boutique, Sandy Pasko, owner of Brighton’s Dragonfly and Jean Finkle, the Take Time Out Group facilitator and fashion show co-ordinator.

“This is truly about giving back to the community,” said Pasko.

Both Pasko and Boyd say this is what they are most excited about.

“We enjoy it and people do too and it is a lot of work, but it’s also a lot of fun — and honestly, you get back from the community what you put into it,” said Boyd.

All proceeds raised from the show go to help out the church.

“Anything the church needs, this show will help with,” said Finkle.

And that’s only possible because

everyone involved with the show, from the professional photographer, musicians, business owners who produce the print materials in advance of the show — they’re all volunteers who donate their time and skills, said Finkle.

For the last five years, fundraising efforts have been dedicated to help the church with its building fund for the new hall.

“That’s getting to be in pretty good shape now,” said Finkle.

So moving forward the church may choose to use monies for either the building fund or maybe for maintenance or repairs, explained the co-ordinator.

To date, the group driving the fashion show has helped to raise more than $12,000 for the church.

Last year’s show was sold-out and raised more than $2,000.

Finkle, who came up with the idea for the show six years ago and when the Take Time Out Group was formed, wanted to find a way to repay the church for its generosity.

The church offers the Take Time Out Group the hall on a monthly basis for programming, free of charge.

“So this is our way of saying

thank you,” said Finkle.

It’s not just the Take Time Out Group within the community that benefits from the church’s generosity, either. Several community events take place at the hall.

New this year, organizers decided to host the show during Mother’s Day weekend.

“We thought Mother’s Day weekend would be a great time so that women can celebrate girlfriends, moms and grandmothers, daughters can bring their moms or moms their daughters and they can just enjoy a great afternoon together and celebrate spring,” said Pasko.

Of course the show also offers residents and the ladies a sneak peek at some of the latest spring trends and attire. The styles of shoes and clothes that will be highlighted during this year’s show will be diverse, say Boyd and Pasko.

New lines from France, Italy and Canada, to name a few, featuring an array of spring colours will be showcased this coming Mother’s Day weekend.

The most unique part of the show is that women have the chance to see what the shoes and clothes actually look like on people, versus on a shelf or on a hanger, said Pasko.

Blue Dragon track star establishing his own hall of fame

BY JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com

Brighton — Seven Blue Dragons placed first and one of them, Jared Hall, took top honours as the Outstanding Male Athlete at the 41st Hungerford-Burnbrae Track and Field Classic held in Brockville May 5-6.

Hall set two meet records in winning the junior boys' long jump (6.38 metres) and triple jump (13.28 metres), and he earned two other firsts, in the 100-metre event (11.50 seconds) and as a member of the 4 X 100 metre relay team, with Carson Shuttleworth, Nick McColl and Matt Wright. Their combined time was 46.95 seconds.

East Northumberland Secondary School sent 46 athletes to the high-level competition,

with many of them achieving personal bests; 38 schools in total from Ontario and Quebec competed in what were trying conditions — heavy rains and soggy grounds.

Other Blue Dragons who returned home champions were: Andrew Brown, senior 800 m (1:57 s) and 3,000 m (8:59 s); Jacob Gilbert, midget long jump (5.38 m); Garrett Bird, midget discus (34.11 m); Jake Hollinger, 3,000 m (9:19); Sam Hall, senior high jump (1.80 m), and; Cole Bond, open boys' steeplechase (6:42 s).

The junior girls 4 x 100 m relay team of Elise Hicks, Emily Lange, Leah Herrington and Grayce Freeman also finished first with a time of 55.78 seconds.

Placing second were: Chloe Barnes, midget 3,000 m; Jacob Gilbert, midget 400 m; Garret Bird, midget javelin and shot put; Austen

Schmoll, junior discus; Jake Hollinger, junior 1,500 m; Allison MacDonald, senior 200 m, 400 m hurdles and triple jump; Sam Hall, senior 100 m; Cole Masterson, senior triple jump; and Andrew Brown, senior 1500 m.

Both midget 4 x 100 m relay teams finished second.

ENSS badminton team enjoys another strong season

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Brighton – East Northumberland Secondary School badminton coach Michele Whitney has taken a team of Blue Dragons to OFSAA for perhaps the last time.

The phys ed teacher is retiring at the end of June after 33 years in the classroom and gym, 31 of which she also spent as coach of the badminton team.

ENSS handily won the overall junior and senior titles at the Bay of Quinte Badminton 2017 championship tournaments held in April, with 13 of its junior players and 10 of its seniors advancing to COSSA. The junior squad easily took top spot there as well while the senior team came in second to Kenner CVI by just three points.

There are no junior OFSAA championships so Emily Lange, who placed first in ladies singles, could advance no further, nor could Brittany Pennington (ladies singles), Katy Greenwood and Will MacAulay (mixed doubles), Abi Mitchell and Kiera Taylor (ladies doubles) and Aidan Hussey (men’s singles), who placed second in their divisions.

ENSS did send four Blue Dragons to OFSAA hosted by Pain Ecole Secondaire in Chatham (May 4-6), with both teams – Grade 10 students Josh Snider and Sam Phillips (men’s doubles), and Grade 11 students Kayla Lee and Isaac Snider (mixed doubles) losing in their B Flight consolation final.

Whitney said she’s retiring because she became a grandmother five months ago to a “little amazon princess” who’s 28 inches long and weighs 20 lbs.

“I hope she’s a badminton player,” grandma said.

Whitney hasn’t ruled out continuing her connection with ENSS after she retires.

“I said I could be back helping coach, but there might be a day or two I can’t if I’m babysitting,” she said.

But she won’t be running any Bay of Quinte or COSSA tournaments as she has done for the past 20 years.

Whitney said her “biggest reward” as a teacher and as a coach was to have former students “take the time to come back and see you,” and to volunteer to help with the tournaments.

“The leadership and personal growth I have seen in young people – it’s amazing,” she said.

Having “good people around you makes you look better. I’m one of those blessed people.”

“She will truly be missed by all,” said ENSS principal Charlotte Filip. “She does a lot at ENSS and has made such a positive impact on our students for many years ... She is well loved by the students and parent community.”

Filip pointed out that Whitney also runs a badminton program one night a week at ENSS.

Anywhere from 15 to 40 young people show up to play, on Tuesdays, with the age groups ranging from kindergarten to Grade 9.

“It’s been so well-received for decades,” Whitney said. “It develops a strong appreciation and enjoyment of the sport.”

And the $3 that participants pay subsidizes the school’s badminton program “so we have nice equipment,” she said.

Owen Roberts Urban Cowboy

Stirling - Nothing says spring like the birth of a baby animal — even if that baby is a 100-pound water buffalo, named Jolene.

Jolene was born last month at the Ontario Water Buffalo Company, about two hours east of Toronto. Owners Martin Littkemann and Lori Smith are expecting about 100 such calves this spring.

Females like Jolene are particularly coveted for their milk. In four years, when she’s a full-grown 1.5-metretall, 910-kilogram adult, she’ll be producing up to 10 litres of milk per day.

And that’s music to Littkemann and Smith’s ears.

Buffalo milk is a lucrative, soughtafter, versatile product. It’s protein rich, high in fat and low in cholesterol. This spring, Littkemann and Smith are working with commercial dairies in Toronto and elsewhere to produce new water buffalo products, including gelato and a blue cheese called Azzurro di Bufala.

Restaurateurs are catching on.

Clark Day, newly minted fellow of the Ontario Hostelry Institute and owner of Bayview Farm Restaurant in Kingston, Ont., says Littkemann and Smith make some of the Lori Smith gives some love to newborn calf, Jolene. In four years, when she’s fully grown, she’ll be producbest cheese in the province. ing up to 10 litres of milk per day. continued on page 2

WHAT’S NEXT FOR FARMERS?

Researchers at the University of Guelph and McGill University are helping the Ontario Water Buffalo Company improve the genetics of their herd. That involves modern reproductive technology, such as embryo transfer, in-vitro fertilization and artificial insemination. By the fall, the farm hopes to be exporting breeding animals.

HELPING TO FEED A HUNGRY WORLD

It’s estimated that by 2050, the world will be consuming two-thirds more protein than it does today.

Some experts believe indigenous animal species such as water buffalo could help. “Buffalo production makes an important contribution to economic development, rural livelihood, poverty alleviation, and meets the fastgrowing demand for animal protein,” write B.M. Naveena and M. Kiran in the journal Animal Frontiers.

Correction and Apology Farm’s water buffalo are the big cheese In an article published May 4, “Bird banger case ends in saw-off for farmer, neighbours,� Belleville News reported incorrect information respecting the Normal Farm Practices Protection Board hearing.

Contrary to what was reported, there was no allegation in the course of the hearing that Robert Smith, the Thurlow man who was defending the application, has a conviction for sexual assault. Nor, in fact, has Robert Smith ever been convicted of sexual assault.

Belleville News unreservedly apologizes for the error.

As well, there was an error respecting the reported ownership of a Thurlow-based produce vendor named in the article. The Robert Smith defending the application is not the same Rob Smith who is co-owner of Nansan Farms. Robert Smith, the Respondent on the Application, is not an owner or operator of Nansan Farms.

Belleville News regrets the errors and apologizes to those affected by those errors.

In his fine dining establishment, he offers the Ontario Water Buffalo Company’s mozzarella — the crowning jewel of a tasty Caprese salad — along with its Asiago, blue and ricotta cheese. “Martin and Lori are talented and incredibly hard working farmers� he says, “and we are honoured to represent them at our restaurant.

Their products help keep our menu varied and original.�

sive 350 animals, is one of the largest and most well-established of the dozen water buffalo farms in Canada.

Yet despite its size, Littkemann, Smith and their herdspeople know each animal by name.

Jolene, for example, is joining the likes of Zorra, Jamaica and Sunnie, other names found in the herd.

The water buffalo have oodles of room to roam and graze here — 182 hectares, in fact. They can swim in an eight-foot-deep pond. They can wallow in whatever mud they can find.

Or they can chill.

Despite their size, water buffalo are gentle, docile animals, content to do very little.

Yvette, the farm mascot, even lets people sit on her back for photos, each year during the Water Buffalo Food Festival in nearby Stirling.

And even though they are easily milked — like they are twice a day at the Ontario Water Buffalo Company, at 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. — they’ve never really caught on in Canada. Here, more productive breeds of dairy cows, especially Holsteins, are favoured,

Erin Wilkinson, customer service representative at the Buff Stuff store, carries a jug of water buffalo milk.

which give about three times as much milk per day.

But that’s fine with farmers Littkemann and Smith, who have experience with conventional dairy and beef cattle. When they decided to commit to water buffalo, they weren’t looking for the norm. “We tend to take the road less travelled,� Littkemann

says. “We like doing something different, and in Canada, it’s hard to find something more different to farm than water buffalo�

Province boosting funding for local hospitals by more than $4 million Northumberland-Quinte West – Hospitals in Cobourg, Campbellford and Trenton will receive an extra $4.1 million to reduce wait times and expand services as a result of the provincial budget recently unveiled by the Liberal government.

Ontario is investing an additional $3,005,495 in Quinte West Health Care, $839,394 in Northumberland Hills Hospital and $279,300 in Campbellford Memorial Hospital, “to provide faster access to health care, expand crucial services and procedures, and improve the experience of patients,” says a news release issued by MPP Lou Rinaldi’s office Friday morning.

“I meet regularly with the CEO’s of our three hospitals and have been listening to their concerns,” Rinaldi said in a statement. “This investment will help to ensure we are reducing wait times and delivering these essential services, when and where they’re needed, right here close to home.”

Northumberland County Warden Mark Walas said he was “very pleased” the provincial government is boosting its investment in the Cobourg and Campbellford hospitals.

“This will help to reinforce the stability of healthcare delivery locally, supporting increased service levels and improved patient outcomes,” he stated. “This is wonderful news for Northumberland County.”

Linda Davis, president and CEO of Northumberland Hills Hospital, said the extra funding “will bring much-needed relief to the pressures (her hospital is) facing from increased patient needs and inflationary costs.”

“We look forward to continued collaboration with our LHIN (Local Health Integrated Network) and our Ministry (of Health and LongTerm Care) to fully resolve the challenges of medium-sized community hospitals such as NHH to sustain our services in the years ahead,” she said.

“Campbellford Memorial Hospital is grateful for this funding as we continue to build upon our existing strengths and focus on being a recognized leader in rural health care, creating a healthy community through service excellence, effective partnerships, and the development of innovative hospital services,” president and CEO Brad Hilker said. “Our intent is to continue to offer services and procedures, providing access to care closer to home to a growing population of older adults with increasingly complex health care needs.”

Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison said the “fantastic investment” by the province of Ontario to fund improvements in local health care “are much appreciated by all residents of Quinte West.”

Doug McGregor, chair of Quinte Health Care board of directors, said the additional funding for the hospital’s current operating plan “will help stabilize ... and improve servic-

es,” and with the assistance of community partners, ensure they “will be there when patients need them.”

He also expressed hope that, with the 3.1 per cent increase in hospital funding proposed in the 2017 budget, hospitals across Ontario are moving toward “a more stable environment.”

The government says the extra money it plans to spend will: – provide more access to cardiac services, critical care, organ/tissue donations and transplants, rare disease care, and bariatric services, as well as support for new and redeveloped hospitals – improve access and reduce wait times for chemotherapy, stroke treatments, hip and knee replacements, and magnetic resonance imaging – support service delivery by hospitals in high-growth communities, as well as small, medium, northern and rural hospitals, and mental health and stand-alone pediatric hospitals.

Fact box – Each of Ontario’s 141 public hospitals will receive a minimum 2 per cent increase to its base funding in 2017–18.

– Hospital operating funding in Ontario has increased more than 58 per cent, from $11.3 billion in 2003-04 to $18 billion in 2017-18.

– Ontario’s health care budget will total $53.8 billion in 2017-18 – a 3.8 per cent increase from the previous year.

– Ontario also plans to invest an additional $9 billion over 10 years in capital grants to hospitals to build modern infrastructure. About 34 hospital projects are now underway across the province.

The Good Earth

Spring version of Odds and Sods 4 as to which year other than to say that the 1970’s still had a lot of shiny left on them. Some Gentle Readers might recall the fundamental changes that were occurring in agriculture at that time: we were watching the transition from family farm to family agribusiness, the introduction of marketing boards, the change from conventional to “modern” farming methods employing continuous cropping, an increased usage of fertilizers and pesticides, increased mechanization, much larger equipment and the “CAT” colleges were in their “hay”day. Dr. Ketcheson was teaching forages and strongly promoting the concept of no-till culture. He was well ahead of his time in his attempts to conserve the soil, protecting it from some of the negative sides of modern agriculture. His lectures made a sigO&S#1 Jack Ketcheson nificant impact on how I approached I was a farm lad trying to negotiate agriculture and horticulture. Some demy way through first year at the Uni- cades later, having moved to the Trenversity of Guelph; I won’t be specific

Dan Clost

ton area and starting up this column, I learned that Jack and Betty were just a few miles north growing asparagus.

Naturally, I went out for a visit and an interview. It was very nice to have the opportunity ,at that time, to thank him for the positive influence he had on agriculture and myself personally.

GR, he was one of those unassuming, passionate persons who was very active in making his profession- and our lives- much better. I am honoured and grateful to have met him.

O&S#2 Mother’s Day Flowers Mother’s Day is often celebrated with floral bouquets, some are formal commercial creations and others may a posy of dandelions or whatever else might be in bloom close to the hand of a youngster. Whichever is presented, you know Mom will be very gracious and pleased to receive them. We can go through several columns of the significance of each particular type of flower

but there isn’t really a need here. Briefly (from the FTD web page) red carnations show admiration, pink signifies love and white is in respect to mothers no longer living. White roses speak of purity and reverence, yellow is devotion and sequential shades of light to dark pink show joy, gratitude and grace. In fact, GR, a flower means whatever you want it to mean and a gift of a flower always means love. The wearing of a flower on ones lapel is a tradition that Bill Bonnetta feels should be restored and it was his suggestion to mention this in the column. I agree with him.

O&S#3 Not Red Tulips I was very much looking forward to viewing my small patch of Canada 150 tulips this spring. I planted them in the middle of our centre flowerbed on the front lawn. When the leaves emerged, the proper white margin was very clear; however, the flowers are opening green and white- not a hint of red. At the

nursery we had heard that some folks had orange coloured flowers and our first thought was that they had made a mistake. My second thought, having seen my wee patch, was that I had made a mistake. My third thought, having gone on-line to see what else might be happening was that there was a labelling error somewhere along the line and that some of the bulbs are not as advertised. There is no reason to believe this is much more than a blip and that most of the bulbs will be as advertised. As it turns out, I can do a bit of spin doctoring and call them my Irish-Canadian tribute as there will be lots of red and white throughout the other beds this year.

Closing notes: Moms are special people who always find “enough”; enough patience, enough understanding and enough love. To all moms, and especially mine, a Happy Mother’s Day to you.

Wardens take broadband, infrastructure message to The Hill

Jim Pine.

File photo

BY JACK EVANS

“A huge effort, but it was worth it,” is how Hastings County CAO Jim Pine summed up a day of meetings between the Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus and regional MPs plus parliamentary secretaries of key cabinet ministers.

The caucus went with well-prepared positions on two key issues, said Pine. First is a project estimated at almost $300 million to complete broadband service in Eastern Ontario to rural and remote communities and also including a secure cell phone network for first responders like fire, ambulance and police for safety considerations.

Pine said wardens or represen-

tatives from all 13 counties in the caucus attended a breakfast meeting Monday with MPs from their respective ridings, some 17 in all and members representing all parties involved.

Their arguments about the need for the cell service for safety purposes plus road and bridge infrastructure funds were “well received,” said Pine.

The caucus pointed out that almost three-quarters of all roads in Eastern Ontario, from Durham to the Quebec border are owned by municipalities, including cities like Ottawa and small rural ones in many cases, plus 60 per cent of all bridges.

They cited in-depth studies by consultants showing that municipalities in the region should be spend-

ing at least $500 million to $600 million every year just to adequately maintain all roads and bridges is already far more than they can afford.

But there is one snag. Both issues must also be approved by the provincial government, so Pine said they hope to arrange a meeting in Queen’s Park later this month and perhaps they could get approval, at least on the broadband and cell phone network by the end of the year.

The infrastructure funding may be a bit more difficult as it will take

some months for the federal government to make an agreement with Ontario and other provinces on how the funds will be spent.

Mike Bossio, MP for HastingsLennox and Addington, commented that he was pleased and excited at the wardens caucus presentations.

“This is the way our democracy should work,” he said,”with areas getting together to lobby for projects that will benefit all the residents across a large area.” He said the presentations were “impressive,” but reminded of the government’s obli-

gation to make necessary arrangements with the provinces first.

He also hinted there might be some differences of opinion on the definition of “small rural municipalities” as spelled out in the infrastructure announcement in the last federal budget. “ Our federal definition is about 100,000 population for a small community but Ontario’s may be around 30,000 and other provinces like Saskatchewan might be less than 10,000,” he explained, expecting it will take “several months” to reach provincial accords.

Salamander man visits Quinte Conservation with a simple message

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – Save the salamander.

That was the message Matt Ellerbeck brought to Quinte Conservation on Friday, May 5 for an afternoon presentations for outdoor enthusiasts.

Ellerbeck, who’s known across Ontario as “the salamander man” is an independent conservationist, licensed with the Ministry of Natural Resources.

He visits conservation authorities frequently to talk about the plight of the salamander, a small, hard-to-find, but fascinating reptile with a long slithering body and four legs.

Ellerbeck says half of world’s salamander species – several of which can be found in Ontario – are considered at risk and “despite that, they receive very little attention.”

Yet, salamanders should be considered friends to humans, he said.

They eat insects so they represent a natural form of pest control. And reducing the number or bugs can reduce the spread of some serious diseases, such as West Nile.

He says climate change poses the biggest threat to salamanders’ survival.

For more information on Ellerbeck and

Quinte Symphony surprises Picton audience

BY JACK EVANS

Picton– Except for a few seats it was a capacity crowd at Picton’s historic Regent Theatre Sunday for Quinte Symphony’s closing regular concert of the current season.

Helping to fill the hall was the colourful and talented internationally acclaimed ensemble, Sultans of String, whose four members were supported throughout by Conductor Dan Tremblay and the 42-piece orchestra.

One major surprise was a second-half number when symphony member Saskia Tomkins was invited to join the Sultans in one number with her unusual Norwegian ‘nyckelharpa.’ Sultans leader Chris McKhool, quipped that the instrument might be described as “the millipede of stringed instruments.”

The audience thoroughly enjoyed seeing and hearing this instrument for the first time for almost all of them.

Another surprise, a particularly pleasant one for two young members of the orchestra, was presentation of Stephen Choma awards from a fund named in honour of the orchestra’s founder and designed to encourage youthful members who have shown outstanding skills and faithful support. They went to Jeanette Huang, who joined the symphony at the tender age of nine, and Sophia King, who, after five years with the orchestra is off to university to study engineering.

Celebrating 68 Years!

Recipients of bursaries for faithful service were presented to Sophia King, left, and Jeanette Huang, both second violin players in the orchestra.

Jack Evans/Metroland

But, the main surprise for many was seeing and hearing Quinte Symphony for the first time, impressing the crowd from both Belleville and Prince Edward County, with many commenting on the quality and richness of their sound.

The four Sultans, led by McKhool on his five-string violin, guitarist Kevin Laliberte Drew Birston on electric bass and percussionist Eric Breton, stretched across the stage in front of the orchestra and kicked off with a wild, midEastern sounding “Alhambra,” followed by an East Coastflavoured “Rainflower Kitchen Party, which featured plenty of hand-clapping by the audience, as did several other numbers from this lively ensemble.

McKhool reflected on his fam-

ily roots in Lebanon in his piece “Road to Kfarmishki.”

Canadian inspiration was involved in most of their numbers, including a salute to Sable Island and the far north, “Auyuittuq Sunrise.”

For the second half, the orchestra did its own thing in a performance of “Changes,” by the late Kingston-based composer and former conductor, Clifford Crawley. Then the Sultans returned.

The audience response at the end generated an encore with an audience sing-along.

The symphony will get off to an early start next season with a concert on Sunday, Oct. 1, called “Orchestral Favourites and a Christmas concert Dec. 10: “Christmas Traditions Old and New.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Follow us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/InsideBelleville On Twitter @InBelleville And online at www.InsideBelleville.com

Wyley Canuck weighs in on ‘hydraucity’ Dear Editor, Hydraucity n. : An insolent, brazen or foolhardy usage of an electric company.

What do you get when you elect academics, (Masters in Linguistics, Masters in Adult Education and trained in Meditation)? You get Happy Public Servants, dwindling Ontario-owned assets and, if you look closely at your Hydro statement, it has a hologram of Alfred E. Neuman - “What Me Worry?”

Speaking of the venerable Alfred E., you know how accountants are kind of weirdly attracted to figures?

(No Elmer - not THOSE figures number figures!) Well I have to confess in 2010 I succumbed to the lure of solar panels being offered to generate a return at the then princely rate of 80.2 cents per kWhr. I know, I know, it was stupid and irrational. The description which is presently applied to the Liberals of the last dozen years being: naive, myopic, arrogant and possessing poor judgement could equally be applied to the early applicants to get involved in the pursuit of renewable energy alternatives. (This comment does NOT apply to the later massive solar/wind farm bandits. These lads knew what they were doing and

it was shameful).

Lets say the government picked me and maybe five other Alfred E. wannabes to be a test case at a completely ludicrous rate, further incentivized with a 20 year guaranteed contract. Lets also say that early on the accountant portion of my number-oriented brain noticed that only on the very best sun days did the panels produce sufficient kW hourse even for my own (electric furnace) house! And lets further say that most of Canada is not Arizona or Southern California. There are many, many days of snow and ice and rain and cloud and the commensurate dwindle of hydro energy to figures that would fail to power the pump and lights of a drive-by outhouse, even intermittently. And let’s say Elon Musk in 2010 is at least 10 years away from inventing and manufacturing a workable storage battery, (a “hydro sink”) in which to store power on the rare occasions when the sun is high and the drive-by lavatory is barely being used. For example, January to April of 2017 exhibited the worst weather everrr over the seven year test - representing only 60% of the original Trenton area forecast. The lavatory proverbially hit the fan for

four months.

So let’s say that persons in charge of Ontario Power Generation have duly noted the aforementioned problems experienced by the sixmember experimental team. They see that Elon Musk is devoting more time to getting a spacecraft to the moon than he is in perfecting that horribly necessary “Hydro sink” battery device. They are also growing tired of selling excess electricity to outsiders below cost and realize that the hastily-titled “six boy experiment” is a failure.

So the academics at Queens’ Park pulled the plug on further renewable energy production, (bye bye Hydraucity), and we all lived happily ever after with 6.5 cents per kWhr electricity and no delivery charges.

Oh and those 33 Hydro employees in the “A” to “K” section of the Sunshine list of OPG making more than $200,000, especially you 10 shift managers at $300K plus, and you Mr. Jeffery Lyash at $1.2 million, that’s serious senior executive coin for you lads and ladies, how can you find the time to spend it?

Scholarship winner pays it forward TRADE IN’S

Rebecca DeMarsh won a $500 scholarship from the Commodores Orchestra two years ago for outstanding contributions to her community and her school music program. She used the money to fix up her saxophone so she could continue to play it after her graduation. Since then, in addition to her life as a student at Loyalist College, Rebecca has volunteered for the Core Arts and Culture Centre in downtown Belleville, where she helps organize community-based music concerts. This year, Rebecca decided she would donate proceeds from one of her concerts to the Commodores Orchestra’s Bruce Parsons Scholarship Concert, which provided her with her $500 two years earlier.

“It’s an incredible gesture,” says Commodores leader Andy Sparling. “Rebecca’s actions demonstrate pure class and what community service is all about. What a perfect ending. Thanks to her, this is probably the Commodores’ proudest moment since we launched the Parsons concert.”

Rebecca will be on hand at this year’s show on May 28th to make the contribution official. This year’s show will feature about a dozen secondary school singers and dancers who’ve been selected through an audition process to perform with the band.

“There’s nothing like singing with a big band,” says Sparling. They’ll experience the thrill of performing some of the 20th century’s greatest standards with a swingin’ big band. It’s not exactly what you’d call “their” music - but I’ve never met a singer of any age who wasn’t over the moon about doing these great songs with 17 talented and swinging musicians providing the accompaniment.”

For the last three years, the Commodores have raised money at the Parsons show to provide post-secondary financial help to high school

Champions honoured, suicide group nets much-needed funding Belleville - In what had been billed as a celebration of those who help the services for local mental health, a highlight was the announcement of a substantial donation to help the survivors of suicide.

At the May 4 ceremony at Canadian Mental Health Association Hastings Prince Edward Branch to 13 individuals and agencies for their continued help to the agency, it was announced the agency’s Suicide Bereavement program has been granted $39,000 from the Parrott Foundation. The funds will permit the CMHA of HPE to continue to offer bereavement counselling services for another 18 Recognized as “champions,” the Canadian Mental Health Association Hastings months.

Prince Edward Branch honoured 13 individuals and agencies for their contin- “It means we have funds dedicated for one on one support for 15 hours,” said executive director Sandie ued help to the agency.

Chris Malette/Metroland Sidsworth. “It’s an amazing opportunity to really

consolidate and support.” The CMHA-HPE has been offering clinics on Saturday for nearly a year.

“The demand has outweighed the capacity,” Sidsworth expressed. “Now I’m looking to hire another grief support worker who will help survivors through that transition period.”

Thursday, at the CMHA’s Maurice Rollins Centre for Hope, 13 individuals and agencies were recognized for their efforts in helping the community’s most vulnerable.

The list of honorees include: Hastings-Quinte Paramedic Services; Belleville Police Services; Lisa Kemp; Luke Hendry; Nicole Kleinsteuber; Julie Sweeny; Steve Forbes; Anne-Marie Murphy; Janet Howson; Dafoe-Sweet family; Mary Woodman and Dee Leroy.

“This is about honouring people who sometimes don’t get the recognition they deserve for the work that they do,” said Sidsworth. “This is about celebrating people who are taking care of the most vulnerable in our community with the least resources.”

TRAVEL

Cycling from Tennessee to Arkansas crossing the Mighty Mississippi

BY JOHN M. SMITH

On my recent visit to Memphis, Tennessee, I decided to do some cycling, of course, and I was especially intrigued by its newly completed pathway across the Mississippi River.

After all, the Harahan Bridge has been an active rail bridge for about one hundred years, but it has now also become the country’s longest active rail/bicycle/pedestrian bridge.

The rail and pedestrian/bicycle sections are separated by a protective wall, for safety, and the mile-long Big River Crossing offers the cyclist or walker an easy ride or stroll from state to state.

I started my particular ride at the Peddler Bike Shop, located on Main Street, and here I met my guides (owner Hal Mabray and employee Dan Wilson) and was provided with a bike for the ride. We then pedaled our way, with other cyclists, through some relatively quiet city streets and separate bike paths to the bridge itself – and then we made the spectacular crossing. We weren’t in any hurry, so we made several stops for photos, including some incredible views of downtown Memphis. I was particularly impressed by the towering Pyramid that I could see in the distance, and I learned that it was now home to the largest Bass Pro Shop of them all (I’d eventually visit this mammoth structure – and I became so impressed with this iconic mega store that I’ve decided to write a travel piece exclusively on it in the future). I could also see the nearby magnificent, arched road bridge on route #40 that also leads from state to state: the Hernando de Soto Bridge. The river itself, of course, provided me with the sighting of several boats, too.

At about the bridge’s midway point, I left the state of Tennessee and entered into Arkansas, and after I completed the bridge crossing, I could continue my ride along a section of the Big River Trail all the way into downtown West Memphis, Arkansas (a 10 mi./17 km. ride from Main St., Memphis, TN to Main St., West Memphis, AR). If I wished, and had the time, I could then have linked up to a series of backroads and designated bike routes that con-

Cyclists and walkers enjoy the new bicycle/pedestrian pathway across the bridge.

John M. Smith/Metroland

tinued all the way to Little Rock, Arkansas (a distance of about 180 mi./300km.). However, since I was on a mission specifically to explore the Memphis, TN area, I soon pedaled back over the Harahan Bridge and rode along the paved riverfront trail in Memphis. This took me right along the Mississippi River shoreline and into downtown Memphis – to the very structures that I had viewed from a distance from the Harahan Bridge. Along the route, I

biked through Tom Lee Park, which stretches from Beale St. to South Bluff, and here I found a commemorative statue of Tom Lee Park himself (in 1925, he had saved 32 people from drowning in the Mississippi River from a capsized and burning steamer).

While in this downtown area, I’d recommend checking out many of its interesting attractions, including the National Civil Rights Museum, the Beale Street Entertainment District, the Memphis Music Hall of Fame, the Memphis Rock n’ Soul Museum, the Mississippi River Museum, and the aforementioned Bass Pro Shop (Pyramid).

The Shelby Farms Greenline is a 6.7 mi./11 km. urban trail (a railsto-trails project) that connects Midtown Memphis to Shelby Farms Park, one of the country’s largest urban parks and offering a plethora of outdoor activities, so your ride can continue from the downtown core. This particular route will take you through a canopy of large oaks, making it pleasantly cool even in the summer heat, and although it’s located within the city, you’ll feel relatively secluded. You’ll pass by some scenic wetlands, too, and perhaps view such wildlife as deer, wild turkey, or armadillo.

Yet another popular trail that’s in the works is the Wolf River Greenway, and when it’s completed, this

pathway will take cyclists from the north end of Mud Island in downtown Memphis all the way to the neighbouring cities of Germantown and Collierville (a total distance of about 36 m./60 km.).

Memphis’ growing greenway infrastructure and its newly completed bicycle/pedestrian bridge crossing have certainly created new enthusiasm for the avid cyclist. Indeed, cyclists are very excited about these local changes and improvements.

Peddler Bike Shop owner Hal Mabray told me that “if you build it, they will come”. He continued, “I’ve had customers from such varied places as New York, New Orleans, Ireland, and Canada recently, and they’ve all wanted to ride bikes across the bridge or visit Graceland via two wheels”. However, for me, the cycling highlight was simply that relatively easy, scenic state to state bridge crossing.

Belleville – About 96 per cent of public school students in the Hastings Prince Edward region are now immunized for protection from a number of contagious diseases; a number, local health officials feel, represents a successful completion of the health unit’s immunization program and will make schools a safe place to be.

Immunization manager Bill Sherlock updated board members on the program at the Wednesday, May 3 meeting.

His presentation showed that as of May 1 there were 44 students who the board did not have immunization records for and are thus still suspended from school.

It represents good progress, Sherlock said, considering that in January there

were about 4,400 unfilled records.

The health unit worked with schools to hand out 313 suspension notices for students on April 21, the deadline day for students to have immunization records to public health after notices were sent out in January to parents of students who had unfilled records.

These notices targeted students aged 7 (an age at which students should have most of their shots) and 17 (an age where students may be overdo for booster shots).

The health unit’s immunization program ensures students are protected from diphtheria, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, pertussis (whooping cough), meningococcal disease and varicella (chickenpox for children born in 2010 or later).

While the percentage of students immunized is 96 per cent, the percentage of students who the health unit now has records for is about 99 per cent, Sherlock said.

Some parents – a very small minority, Sherlock said – do not get their children immunized for to medical or conscientious reasons, but must provide a record of their objection to public health.

A medical exemption requires a doctor’s note and a conscientious exemption requires a legally notarized note.

“Overall the process really works well,” Sherlock said. “It brings this to the forefront.

“Students (who don’t follow the immunization process) aren’t allowed in (school). They know that.”

CANCER CHANGES EVERYTHING. SO CAN YOU.
