Former Brighton residents among Fort McMurray evacuees By John Campbell Brighton – Former residents of Brighton and area were among the tens of thousands of people in Fort McMurray whose lives were imperilled by the enormous wildfire that forced them from the northern Alberta city last week. The evacuees included Tyler Hutchinson, the eldest son of Brighton Fire Chief Lloyd Hutchinson. “It was something else,” said the younger man who lost his condo and all his possessions May 3 before fleeing the city with his girlfriend Caylee Close and heading home, arriving in Brighton late Sunday night. With them was Lenny Dykstra, another Brighton resident, who lived with Hutchinson, Close and his brother Jeremy. Lenny Dykstra was picked up south of Fort McMurray where he had been working; Jeremy Dykstra was already home, having returned to Brighton for a vacation. Hutchinson estimates “upwards of 30 people” originally from Brighton have relocated to Fort McMurray. “We weren’t too concerned” at first when the wildfire was burning well outside the city but “all of a sudden the wind shifted” and drove the flames toward Fort McMurray, putting them in “imminent danger,” Hutchinson said. When the order came to evacuate, “there was no time” left to gather possessions. Hutchinson and Close made their way to another part of the city where a friend of his from Havelock, Bill Hay, lived and together they headed south in separate vehicles in “survival mode,” leaving Tyler Hutchinson returned home to Brighton with his girlfriend Caylee Close after they were forced to flee Fort McMurray when behind flames and smoke rising hundreds of feet a monstrous wildfire spread through the northern Alberta city, destroying their condo.

into the sky. They saw trailers and gas stations exploding, sending flames “over top of us,” and all the while “big chunks of ash” were falling, Close said. The fire was a monster that kept doubling in size but the firefighters “did a wonderful job” combating it, risking their lives, Hutchinson said. “They knew they were going into the belly of the beast.” He compared what happened to having something “ripped from you” and “a way of life” you’ve known for 10 years being turned “upside down.” “It’s like part of your family died, it will never be the same again.” Lloyd Hutchinson said he became “very, very concerned” as his son described what was taking place as they drove through the city. His worry didn’t subside until they were out of danger “but it was pretty heart-wrenching.” He stressed “a lot of people out there [are] from this area, not just Tyler, [and] they’ve all got pretty much the same story to tell,” about the losses they’ve suffered and the impact it has had. Tyler Hutchinson and Close were overwhelmed by the support they received from strangers on their way to Brighton, with many of their expenses being looked after by those touched by their plight. The generosity has continued since arriving in Brighton. Their plans for the future are up in the air. “We’re still trying to figure out what’s going to happen in the weeks to come,” Hutchinson said. “We’ve got nothing to go back to.”

Brighton – Mackenzie Walas was on the road in Newfoundland with his rock ‘n’ roll band, Sentimental Gentlemen, on a cross-country tour when the massive wildfire rolling across northern Alberta spread into Fort McMurray last week. That was a matter of concern for Walas, the son of Brighton Mayor Mark Walas, because he’s called Fort McMurray his home for the last 11 years. The fire has destroyed thousands of homes but Walas’s was spared, as was one of his friends. But that was not so for another friend’s home, where he and his band had left all the music gear they hadn’t taken with them. All things considered, “we’re pretty much one of the luckiest

ones,” he said. But while the fate of the city remained in the balance, the band cancelled its show in Gander and stayed close to the phone to learn what was happening. “Ultimately we heard everybody was safe but we didn’t sleep very much,” said Walas, the band’s lead vocalist. Their next concert, in Stephenville, turned into a fundraiser for the Red Cross campaign to help fire victims in Alberta. “It was pretty awesome, we ended up having a full house and raised a couple of grand,” Walas said in a telephone interview from a van on his way to the band’s next show, in Moncton. The group hopes to raise more at the shows it has left. Close to 40 remain of the more than 60 scheduled on the tour, which

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.

Garbage & Recycling Collection Change Due to the Holiday Monday, Garbage & Recycling Collection will be bumped to the following day for all residents • Mon. pick-up moves to Tues. • Tues. pick-up moves to Wed. • Wed. pick-up moves to Thurs. • Thurs. pick-up moves to Fri.

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

No change to collection in the downtown cores of Cobourg or Port Hope.

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. This Notice of Study Completion places the ESR on public record for a 45-calendar day public review period.

OPINION

The real reason for the gala season

The other Clinton presidency Shortly before John Kasich dropped out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination, leaving Donald Trump as the only candidate, the Ohio governor put up a spoof video on the internet. Modelled on the old-fashioned intro that scrolls up the screen at the start of Gwynne Dyer each Star Wars movie, it envisioned a future in which Trump won the candidacy, lost the presidential election, and left Hillary Clinton triumphant. Titled “Our Only Hope,” Kasich’s video began: “Upon defeating Donald Trump in the largest landslide since Reagan in 1984, President Hillary Clinton is preparing to name her newest Supreme Court justice, Elizabeth Warren. (House) Speaker Nancy Pelosi is planning new tax hikes, hoping that Senate President Chuck Schumer and his new Democratic majority can swiftly get it to the President’s desk for her signature.” “New executive orders restricting the Second Amendment are being drafted while increased federal spending on Obamacare is readied. Meanwhile, our allies across the world are swiftly losing faith in America’s role as a global leader, empowering our enemies and leaving America in a more dangerous position. But we have hope it can be different.” It was a roll-call of all the nightmarish things that Republicans fear a Clinton presidency would do: create a “liberal” majority on the Supreme Court, raise taxes, bring in gun control, and spend more money on health care for poor Americans. Kasich, of course, was the “Only Hope” to prevent this disaster. (It was his video, after all.) If Kasich didn’t get the Republican nomination, according to the video, then Trump would win it, but then lose the national election and put Hillary Clinton into the presidency. That would be followed shortly by dragons, plagues and strange portents in the sky, leading to the full-on End Times during her second year in office. Well, Kasich is out of the race, Trump will get the Republican nomination, and Clinton will win the presidency by a landslide, just like the video says. Not only that, but the Democrats really may win control of both houses of Congress. Hillary Clinton probably will create a liberal

majority on the Supreme Court, tax the rich a bit more, and expand the Affordable Care Act (what Republicans call “Obamacare”). She probably will tackle gun control, too, although you should not hold your breath while awaiting a positive result. She will certainly push on with Obama’s initiatives on climate change and add to them. (She talks about wanting “half a billion more solar panels deployed in the first four years.”) But will she do anything genuinely surprising? It would be astounding if she did. Hillary Clinton is “a safe pair of hands,” not a radical. On foreign policy, she belongs to the “Washington consensus,” so she is suspicious of Russia and Iran, reflexively pro-Israel, and uncertain what to do about China. She resents the fact that people still bring up her vote in support of George W Bush’s invasion of Iraq in 2003, but it does highlight her inability to think outside the box that the rest of the consensus is trapped in at any given time. She takes the standard liberal positions on practically every domestic issue from gay marriage and abortion (cautiously pro) to immigration (no mass deportation of illegals). She has talked about the need to reform the rules on political campaign finances, but would have trouble in getting that through even a Democratic-controlled Congress (“the best Congress that money can buy”), and might just decide not to waste her political capital that way. If all this makes Hillary Clinton sound like a profoundly unexciting president, that would not bother her a bit. Nearly three decades of experience with the political game at the highest level has reinforced her natural tendency to think only in terms of incremental change, and her whole approach to politics is managerial, not transformational. She will not rock the boat. This is perhaps not such a bad thing in a peacetime national leader, and the United States really is at peace, despite the small overseas military commitments that entail an occasional military casualty. It is perhaps especially not a bad thing in the First Female President in American history, just as it was not a bad thing for her predecessor, the First Black President in US history. When you are setting a new precedent for who can hold the office, steady competence is a better advertisement for the new rules than high excitement. It’s also the best way to assure a second term in office, which could also be within Hillary Clinton’s grasp if the Republican Party splits either before or after the electoral debacle that, with Trump as its candidate, now seems almost certain. Although that would make her 77 at the end of her second term.

Editorial - Chris Malette It’s gala season – or it was. Most of the $100-plus per plate fundraisers have wrapped up for the spring and, by our count, there have been as many as five or six. Having attended three of these the past couple months, I can attest to the immense amount of work that goes into the planning and launching of each. But, along the way, you get the real reason we pull on a suit or evening gown for the cause. Kerri Marten was one of the MFRC ‘ambassadors’ who attended the Trenton Military Family Resource Centre Invisible Ribbon Gala last Saturday at the National Air Force Museum. It’s a brilliant stroke to include someone at each table, as the MFRC did, who is vested in the benefits of the MFRC, or any organization that is presenting a gala fundraiser. Each table had the opportunity to ask the ambassadors, many of them spouses of military personnel, about the impact and challenges and triumphs of military life on their families. Marten, who is soon pulling up stakes to move to the Maritimes on yet another military move, is the wife of a military firefighter and she shared some of her story with those of us who shared a meal with her last Saturday: “I love this life we signed up for, I didn’t mention to you that my husband got the call to join the military on September 11, 2001. It was just before 9 a.m. that he was on the phone being told he was accepted as an MSE OP (mobile support equipment operator) and should report later that month to start his training. The recruitment officer he was speaking with asked if he was watching TV and she told him he might want to turn it on after they got off the phone. Crazy day… As a Corporal, Larry remustered to firefighter and I moved to my parents’ in Niagara Falls while he trained in Borden. Although we saw him every weekend and the kids got time to be with family in our hometown, that was the most difficult time to be apart from him and I was thrilled when we were posted to Trenton in June 2009. I was a part of the Trenton MFRC Board of Directors when we created the slogan “Together We are Stronger” and it definitely rings true. We have been here almost

seven years – time has flown by as it would being a part of the Air Force. “Her Majesty’s Dockyard Halifax is going to be different for us but I know we will make the most of it.” Many of the ambassadors had heart-rending tales to tell, but few could match that of Linda Blanchette, who shared a table with Metroland Media. According to Blanchette, “The Trenton MFRC saved my life – they gave me my life back.” Blanchette also serves as vice-chairwoman on the board of directors, for the Trenton MFRC. She was also recently nominated for a Prime Minister’s Volunteer Award. Her husband has Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). “This disease, it can destroy everything – it can take everything,” she said. “It’s a struggle, living with this disability,” she explained. “Often, people don’t realize the things you have to give up and it’s not just the individuals that have to give these things up – it’s the families too.” Blanchette’s husband, Joss, served with the United Nations police and in places like Bosnia. He was taken hostage for 24 hours at one point. While he survived, he didn’t come home the same man, Blanchette explained. Later, Joss suffered a heart attack, which the Blanchette family soon learned, was in part due to his PTSD. Not knowing where to turn, Blanchette was desperate and one day, in the early 2000s, she walked into the MFRC. “This was the start of my healing,” an emotional Blanchette said. “They gave me a voice.” The gala season can be a grind, almost, for the deep-pocketed in our communities who are almost expected to “pony up,” as one auctioneer put it at a recent gala. But, when one hears of the personal stories, the sacrifices and the joys and triumphs that result from the fundraising efforts, it makes shrugging on a suit and tie, mess kit or ball gown all the more effortless.

Yoga helping students cope with stress, prepare for exams with the help of a $700 grant from the Ministry ofa Education. Campbellford – They tried it and they The money, made available through the Ontario Federation of School Athliked it. A lot. Now yoga is part of the routine for the letic Association’s Try Day program, Grade 10 girls’ personal fitness class was used to purchase yoga mats, blocks, at Campbellford District High School, 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 L-r, Maddy Dafoe, Hailey Palmer, Neve Walker-Moores, Shelby Kelly, Sarah 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,” GeeConte 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

Community Care asks Cramahe to pay “outstanding receivable” By John Campbell

TICO#50007364

Cramahe Township – More trouble with numbers at Cramahe Township. Still dealing with the after-effects of a $400,000 deficit from 2014 that came to light last fall, council learned May 3 that errors by the municipality in reports to the province related to gas tax funding has left Community Care Northumberland (CCN) in the lurch. The agency says it’s still owed nearly $25,000 as an “outstanding receivable” from the township and it has asked for an additional $5,380 to cover costs that exceeded the gas tax funding it received for the fiscal year ending March 31. Community Care spent money based on the amount the municipality had led the agency to believe it would receive which later proved to be “inaccurate,” the township’s new treasurer, Nicole Leach-Bihun said. The money is for the specialized transportation service CCN provides Cramahe and Alnwick-Haldimand townships. Cramahe contributes $10,000 a year and Alnwick-Haldimand $3,000 and the two forward gas tax funds they receive from the province as a result of their annual contribution, with Cramahe being the one that looks after the accounting. The Central Route’s budget for 201617 is $122,871 to provide bus service four days a week between towns in Northumberland County as well as an on-demand service five days a week for clients with mobility issues. Councillor Tim Gilligan balked at giving Community Care the money it requested, demanding Alnwick-Haldimand be approached as well. Mayor Marc Coombs said the other municipality would likely respond that Cramahe “screwed up” so why

should it be asked to pay. “We have a bit of a moral obligation ... to help out in some way,” he said. “If that commitment is not being met from years gone by then I feel we have to honour our commitment,” Councillor Ed Van Egmond said. But Gilligan’s insistence that Alnwick-Haldimand be asked to help with

the shortfall ultimately prevailed, with staff being instructed to contact Cramahe’s partner and Community Care being asked to do the same. A report prepared by the agency showed its specialized transportation system serves 570 clients across the county, including 95 in Cramahe. They made 11,000 trips in 2015-16.

Hamilton Township joined the service last fall and has 10 riders registered thus far (Alnwick-Haldimand has 36). CCN executive director Trish Baird said in an interview the formula used by the Ministry of Transportation to allocate gas tax revenue to municipalities is “confusing [and] complicated,” with the agency having received any-

where from $25,000 to $70,000 over the years. In preparing its budgets, the agency has assumed it would be getting “close to the same funding” it received the previous year, she said. “There’s no rhyme nor reason why you wouldn’t unless you changed something.”

Brighton Library is thriving says CEO By Sarah Hyatt Brighton – The Brighton Public Library is continuing to expand and offer an array of programming, with the hopes of making a positive impact in the community within all age groups. Sharing this message with council recently, was Mellissa D’OnofrioJones, CEO for the Brighton Public Library. Program attendance from January to March in comparison to last year is up 16 per cent, D’Onofrio-Jones reports. Whether helping reluctant readers to gain the confidence needed through the St. John’s Paws for Stories program, or through one-on-one

tech help, D’Onofrio-Jones is looking to increase some awareness surrounding the library’s current programming recently. The Paws for Stories program, for instance, can help reluctant readers to gain confidence, by giving readers the time to practice skills in an environment, which is warm and welcoming, D’Onofrio-Jones explained. “Dog handlers and dogs in turn, get some practice with therapy skills,” D’Onofrio-Jones said. The popular Tech Help One on One programming is also returning this month. The program offers people the chance to learn one-on-one with a staff member for about a half hour. Residents can bring in their tablets,

e-readers or ask about social media aged those interested book appointor e-mails – whatever they want. ments, as appointments are given The clinics are not meant to serve as tech repair sessions, the CEO noted. “It’s been very popular in the past,” said D’Onofrio-Jones.

Rotary Club of Brighton Newsletter for April 2016 Again, many thanks to the Community who supported us at the Food Drive we held at No Frills in early April. Because of your support, we collected over 4 trailer loads of food and over $100 in cash donations for the local Fare Share Food Bank. Thank you.

President Elect Victoria Parker and Community Service Director, Dave Sharp presenting Rick & Suzanne Chapman, volunteers associated with the Sunny Day Camp, a cheque to help in their 7th annual program.

And, on another, cool and wet spring Sunday in late April, you might have seen us barbecuing for the Community Care Relay at Memorial Park showing our support to this wonderful group. So, we have certainly been busy outside these past few weeks. Some of you might know that one of Rotary’s biggest dreams is the complete eradication of the Polio virus… We cannot accomplish on our own and certainly have the help of our own Canadian gov’t who recently continued their commitment of more than $260M through to the year 2018. We certainly had a busy month in the speaker categories. John Thorpe introduced himself as a new Rotarian who joined our Club earlier this year with his Classification talk. As a youth, John enjoyed rugby and other sports... WHY- because he could avoid school and got treats when playing. As a Youth, John did get around to start his career and continued to work in accounting roles until he first retired at age 66 but, opted to continue part time as a recruiter until age 71 when he moved to Brighton which he and his wife thoroughly enjoy. Welcome to Rotary John. The second speaker was also a new Rotarian, Nancy McGowan. Like a lot of other Rotarians, she does keep busy with other activities such as volunteer through her Church with a group of physically and mentally adults; working on an on-line Bachelor’s degree through Athabasca University; continuing her fitness routines and of course, working as the Customer Service Manager of Utility Contractors over at Anixter in the Colborne Industrial Mall. She is glad she joined Rotary as she wants to help make a difference. Also present at Rotary in the past month was Rick & Suzanne Chapman who were representing Sunny Days

priority. A Teen Advocacy Group (TAG) is also launching movie nights at the library, among other initiatives. Community partnerships also remain important for the library. Sunny Days Day Camp sing-alongs has returned. Kids also have the opportunity to explore tactile art experiences thanks to this partnership. “We’ve also hosted two author events recently,” D’Onofrio-Jones told council. Gloria M. Hunter-Alcock visited the library to talk about her book, Nurse at the Top of the World. As well, author Pamela BrysonWeaver made a stop to discuss her book and her experiences raising a child with autism. “It’s absolutely well worth it to listen to her story,” said Councillor Mary Tadman. Coun. Tadman would like to see the idea of Bryson-Weaver discussing her book and approach to autism, with emergency officials and CEO for the Brighton Public Library, Mellissa D’Onofrio-Jones, displays an first responders. e-reader, e-book and video game, which the library now offers for borrow- Looking ahead into the summer, D’Onofrio-Jones says the Magic ing.

In an attempt to increase further awareness surrounding programming and services available, Brightonians can expect “pop-up libraries” this summer. The Brighton library will be taking the library out into the community and “popping up” at various events and locations within the community during the months of July and August, explains D’Onofrio-Jones. “We will have materials to check out.

Camp program. They started the summer program 7 years ago, with 7 participants and now have 24. Our recent donation of $1,000 will help offset member fees and other costs. And we are also proud this month to continue our annual sponsorship of the Brighton Relay For Life program being held on Friday evening, June 3. Do you have your team together yet? Foundation Chair Ted Harp gave a presentation on the Rotary Foundation. This is one of the world’s largest charitable foundations and is very successful at distributing the funds in much needed areas. The Rotary Foundation transforms financial gifts into projects that change lives both close to home and around the world. As the charitable arm of Rotary, we tap into a global network of Rotarians who invest their time, money, and expertise into our priorities, such as eradicating polio and promoting peace. Foundation grants empower Rotarians to approach challenges such as poverty, illiteracy, and malnutrition with sustainable solutions that leave a lasting impact. Strong financial oversight, a stellar charity rating, and a unique funding model mean that we make the very most of everyones’ contribution. Part of the ongoing recognition by Rotarians is what we call a “Paul Harris Fellow” (PHF award). We were very pleased to present PHF’s award to a hard working Gracelynn

Brighton Independent - Thursday, May 12, 2016

Cheer for her many community work tasks including the Brighton Food Bank. Gracelynn said the award will hang in the Food Bank as it belongs to everyone who helps including Brighton Rotary with food drive efforts. Not to be forgotten, our Rotarian Ruth Kerr rec’d a PHF award for her contributions to Rotary and to the community. She is well deserving of this award with her work in the Christmas Hampers, Rotary Auction, and establishing the Interact program which are just the tip of the iceberg. And, then we had our own Rotarian Bob Rudkin receive (in absentia due to some illness) a PHF award for his many and ongoing work efforts to make our Club the success it is. Rotarian Dave Sharp was also given his 6th PHF pin for his ongoing financial support to the Rotary Foundation. At the same meeting, President Elect Victoria Parker gave a special pin to Rotarians Keith Stainton and Tricia Bohme for their sponsorships of two new Rotarians. As always, should you be interested in knowing a bit more about Rotary, please feel free to give Dave Sharp a call at 613-475-5109 or drop by for Breakfast some Friday morning. We meet at 6:45am (meeting starts at 7:00am) at the Community Centre on Elizabeth Street.

Cramahe passes budget, leaving two council members unhappy By John Campbell

Cramahe Township – Over the objections of two of its members, council has passed its municipal budget for 2016, which will result in taxes increasing by just under two per cent. When combined with county and education taxes, the property tax bill for an average home in Cramahe Township worth $207,000 will go up by more than $50, to around $2,990. Deputy-Mayor Sandra Arthur and Councillor Tim Gilligan voted against approving the base budget May 3, because it leaves undecided a host of expenditures staff have put forward which council will have to address in the coming months. They include big ticket items such as the rehabilitation of several streets ($4.8 million) and extension of a sewer line ($2.5 million), which will require funding from senior levels of government, as well as numerous smaller outlays of capital, for engineering, equipment, software, staffing and upgrades. Council is also still waiting on the final figures for 2015, which were thrown into disarray after it was discovered last fall the township had to deal with an unexpected deficit of $400,000 from 2014

that turned up in an audit. That led to the the treasurer being let go, a move which, coupled with the dismissal of the chief building official, resulted in “settlement costs” of $278,268 being incorporated into this year’s budget. Overall, spending is projected to surpass $8.8 million, with most of the money to be raised through a municipal levy of around $5,080,000, an increase of roughly $168,000. Arthur was miffed council was going ahead with the budget when she had “a binderful” of questions she thought would be answered in a detailed review, particularly of the issue papers staff had prepared. “It’s not right,” she said. “We should have had further meetings and I’m disappointed that didn’t happen.” “We don’t know where we sit ... how can we possibly spend anything?” asked Gilligan, in pushing to hold off passing the budget a bit longer until more was known about the actual figures for 2015. New treasurer Nicole Leach-Bihun told council she is still working on those. Clerk Julie Oram pointed out council passed last year’s budget without knowing the previous year’s actuals and “staff

has brought in a very responsible bud- and use money from reserves,” said get” for 2016 that “very much reflects Coombs, who promised work on the 2015 numbers” and maintains the same 2017 budget will begin later this year level of service. and “go a lot smoother.” This year’s A motion by Gilligan and Arthur to process was “a struggle for everybody” delete the $19,900 f e e - f o r- s e r v i c e agreement with the Brighton-Cramahe Chamber of Commerce contained in the budget was defeated by Mayor Marc Coombs and councillors Ed Van Egmond and Don Clark. The three then voted in favour of approving the budget, with the inclusion of $2,231 for the hiring of a student for the summer to assist the planning department. Council will deal with the rest of the Jacquie Arbuckle & Chris Herrington issue papers “on Sales Representatives a as-needed basis Ofﬁce: 1.800.263.2177 | jacquieandchris.ca

and “a trying time” for both staff and council members, he said. The township currently has $4.5 million in reserves it can draw on when council makes its decisions on issues raised by staff.

Proctor House Museum given Campbellford grants for restoration work seniors host fundraiser

Continued from page 16 The museum will remain open for tour and events while work is being done over the summer. An official reopening will take place in September. The property is owned by Lower Trent Conservation, which leases it to SOHO. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been very cooperative,â&#x20AC;? Daniels said, and the Municipality of

Brighton â&#x20AC;&#x153;has been very supportive over the years.â&#x20AC;? To learn more about the museum, visit www.proctorhousemuseum.ca. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize the house on the hill brings a lot of people to this town,â&#x20AC;? said SOHO president Anna Rittwage, whose late husband Roy was a key figure in preserving Proctor House.

Campbellford â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Campbellford Senior Citizens Club recently hosted a fundraiser for CKOL radio station (93.7 fm) which broadcasts in Trent Hills. After â&#x20AC;&#x153;a very good afternoonâ&#x20AC;? of playing bid and regular euchre, $500 was collected through admission, ticket sales as well as donations. To top things off at a recent general meeting of the club, members voted to match the money raised so a total of $1000 was donated. The club thanks everyone who participated and donated. The next fundraiser will be for the Campbellford food bank and it will be held Sun., June 5 at 1:30 p.m. Everyone invited.

Members of Save Our Heritage Organization flank president Anna Rittwage and director Rick Daniels, holding the plaque. To their left are Jamie Simmons, a member of the Ontario Trillium Foundation review team, and local MPP Lou Rinaldi. Photo by John Campbell

Beacon Youth Centre helps youth cope with stresses of growing up By John Campbell Brighton – The spate of attempted suicides at Attawapiskat First Nation in Northern Ontario underscores the importance of having a drop-in centre for young people, says the director of The Beacon Youth Centre. “Suicide is the number one cause of death among Ontario teens today ... and that is a terrible indictment of our culture,” Rene Schmidt says. He understands why teenagers at Attawapiskat want a place where they can hang out. “I don’t believe a youth centre can solve all the problems young people face but it can certainly help.” The Beacon, at 10 Alice St., has been helping young people in Brighton for years, serving them lunch and providing a spot where they can play games or guitars. But “sometimes teens just need someone to listen to them,” as they wrestle with “basic social, emotional and spiritual needs,” Schmidt says. “We keep the atmosphere trusting and light.” The only rules are the three R’s: respect the place, respect others, and respect yourself. They’re “gently but firmly enforced,” he says. The addition of a half-dozen new volunteers -- “caring adults, mostly retired professionals, [who] have a heart for youth” -- enabled The Beacon to extend its hours of operation. Since March it has been staying open Monday to Friday, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., as well as Tuesday to Friday, from 7 to 9 p.m. The youth have responded by turning out in greater numbers. Schmidt now estimates their visits will surpass 3,000 by the end of June, from last September. Almost 100 students from East Northumberland Secondary School have signed in at lunch; about 30 of them being regular visitors. Close to 50 students from Brighton Public School have dropped in as well, 15 of them on a regular basis. “It’s just a friendly, warm, welcoming place,” Schmidt says. “We’re really pleased with the numbers going up.” The Beacon’s 27 volunteers “are good listeners and we have lists of resources to help connect teens and their families with places in the community that can help them.” The Beacon Youth Centre is part of Quinte Youth Unlimited/Youth for Christ. Its volunteers are members of various local faith communities. “If kids have questions we will answer those questions but faith on their part is not a requirement to come in, we don’t force them into anything” Schmidt says. “We’re like surrogate parents” for the short time they are here, without the authority. “We’re symbolic of that caring parent.” The drop-in centre operates on a budget of $37,000, mostly funded by donations from businesses. The municipality contributes as well, $4,000 this year.

Poppins show dazzles with ENSS production By Sarah Hyatt Brighton – ENSS students have done it again. “I honestly think this is one of the best shows we’ve put on to date,” said East Northumberland Secondary School (ENSS) teacher and director of the Mary Poppins musical, Paul Hussey. People have been flooding the high school gymnasium since the end of April to attend the show. “I didn’t think it could actually get more packed after the first show, but it has,” said Grade 12 student, Marlisa Hows, on Friday, May 6, before head-

ing on stage for the second last show of the production. ENSS students performed their final showing of Mary Poppins on May 7. Hows, who’s attending Queen’s University in the fall to pursue musical theatre, secured the lead role of Mary Poppins. “I never actually seen the movie, only the musical and I think that benefited me,” she said. Hows has been performing since Grade 4. She started vocal lessons in Grade 6. There were two rounds of auditions, and the Grade 12 student said she

ENSS student proposal tops in environmental competition

Lower Trent – Asked what they could do to improve their watershed, 111 students responded with solutions to environmental problems they identified, and the best one of them of all was by a student at East Northumberland Secondary School. Emma Ellis came up with a proposal that addressed her concern about watershed residents not disposing of their pharmaceuticals properly, choosing to throw them in the garbage or ﬂush them down the toilet. “My project goal is to reduce the amount of prescription drugs in our watersheds through educating the public about this issue and by creating an easy way for the safe return of prescription drugs to pharmacies,” Ellis said in a release issued by Lower Trent Conservation. She and the other students were competing for $4,500 in prizes in an environmental contest, Caring for Our Watersheds, that wrapped up April 21 at the Timber Ridge Golf Course. The eight schools they represented – Brighton, Kent, Roseneath Centennial and Murray Centennial pub-

lic schools, St. Mary’s and Sacred Heart Catholic schools, ENSS and Trenton High School – were also eligible for $4,500 in matching cash rewards. Six team finalists competed for a chance to win the $1,000 first place prize. “Earth Day is the perfect day to announce the winners of this contest,” said Lower Trent CAO Glenda Rodgers. “Earth Day is about encouraging us all to make decisions that reduce our impact on the natural environment. This contest encourages students to learn about their local watershed and be inspired to make improvements to the natural environment.” Rogers said “any student who submitted a proposal for the 2016 contest can apply for the funds to turn their idea into reality” as well, with an additional $10,000 in funding that’s being made available. Agrium Inc., a worldwide producer and distributor of fertilizers and agricultural products and services, is the global founder of the Caring for Our Watersheds TM contest. The contest was brought to the

Since its launch in Campbellford in 2011, the contest has been expanded to include all schools located within the jurisdiction of the conservation authority. As the initial funding commitment by Agri-

um will end this year, Lower Trent Conservation started a fundraising program in hopes of continuing to deliver the youth environmental program. New supporters of the contest include: Mystical Distributing and Northumberland Stewardship as well as several private donors.

Head injury often the reason young people end up in ER By John Campbell Brighton – Statistics show between 30 and 40 per cent of emergency room visits in Ontario involving children have to do with head injury but the figure would be “much higher” if all those who have actually suffered concussions sought immediate medical attention. Instead, “they shake it off” and go to bed or go home, said Dr. Duncan Day, a clinical psychologist who was one of the guest speakers at Women’s Day organized by the Northumberland East District Women’s Institute and held at the King Edward Community Centre May 7. The highest risk group among youth are young males 15 to 24 years of age and the most “dangerous” sports are, in approximate order, rugby, football, hockey and soccer, Day said, although for young females it’s soccer at the top. “I’m not trying to scare anybody away from doing sports, organized sports are excellent [and offer] a lot of benefit,” Day said, “but they come with risks.”

And those risks increase when the health of young people is put in the hands of “old school” coaches who adhere to the “suck it up machismo code of sports” which insists “there’s something wrong with you if you acknowledge pain,” he said. “One of the most tragic cases” he ever saw was a talented and academically sound high school student who attended a university summer football camp and was taught to drive his head into the gut of the person he was tackling. By the time Day saw him in October, he had suffered so many “sudden impact injuries” that his football career was “over before it started” and he had to drop out of university because “he couldn’t learn, he couldn’t remember.” Concussions in young people are serious because of their “greater vulnerability” to brain damage that is “diffuse” and requires longer recovery time. Their understanding of the world changes greatly day to day as their brains are growing but that development can be delayed or even halted

as a result of a head injury, sometimes in ways that don’t appear for months or even years, Day said. Long-term consequences include

impulsive behaviour, and an inability to focus or manage emotionsThat’s why wearing protective gear for any activity and taking appropriate measures are so important, to prevent head injuries from happening in the first place. A child who has suffered a blow to the head should not play sports for a minimum of two days to a week, Day

said. “They’re going to be very eager to get back to their normal lives,” he said, but their reintroduction to whatever it was they were doing should be slow and careful. “Err on the side of caution,” Day said. Children falling and hitting their head is normal, “that’s not panicworthy,” he said afterwards. It’s when they display serious symptoms, such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, poor balance, and disorganized speech and behaviour. that they need to be taken to the hospital right away, he added.

Brighton’s Own

Collector of historical artifacts and pop archeologist By Vic Schukov Whenever the name Richard McLaughlin is mentioned in Brighton, his reputation precedes him. Every February, he dazzles the public with his considerable collection of town historical artifacts at the Community Centre’s Brighton Heritage Show. So, frankly, when I rang his doorbell I was expecting a much older fellow. Trenton-born McLaughlin, 41, moved to Brighton in 1989. In his spare time, he is what one may call a pop archeologist: a person who digs for old pop bottles. At first it was just soda bottles, but what got him started on a passion for collecting Brighton history was the holy grail – a Coca Cola bottle with Brighton written on the bottom. He saw one in Ralph Bangay’s (of Memory Junction Museum fame) collection in 1990, and asked him where he got it. Ralph told him that he dug it up in the old abandoned dump in Presqu’íle Park. So McLaughlin went out there and dug until he found one. That inspired him to specialize in Brighton historia, so now he sells most of his

dug-up treasures to buy Brighton stuff. Every Sunday, he goes into the wooded 1800’s (closed since the 30’s) dump outside Campbellford. He digs as far down as eight to ten feet, looking for old bottles. “I love the treasure hunt,” he says. “Most times I return with 2 or 3 bottles that I sell for Brighton artifacts like more bottles, stoneware and photo cards, but it may take me a year to uncover just two things to keep in my collection.” He has amassed an impressive (keeper) collection of old soda, medicine and milk bottles from the late 1800s and early 1900’s. But that’s not all. He has also scored tobacco pipes, clay marbles, silver spoons, and an ivory toothbrush to list just a few. Magically, he has even found a bottle opener labelled JJ McLaughlin Ginger Ale: “It has my last name on it.” The most peculiar item found? “Dentures,” he says, laughing. “I throw those back.” The dump is comprised of 7 acres of marsh, and he often hits water which he is used to working in because he also scuba dives in the Trent River downstream of Number

1 dam in Trenton. He is looking, of course, for bottles. His Brighton rare artifacts are impressive, and include: a Brighton Hardware stoneware jug (1869), a jug that says RN Huffman wine and spirit merchant, a 1923 RE Craig milk bottle - first dairy to have its name on bottles - and 1930’s Spencer’s Quality Dairy milk bottles (with the phone number being 64W!) One item he purchased on eBay is an 1854 Brighton letter about a boat that was sinking in the lake, from the owner asking Captain Quick to bring the boat to his dock off Harbour Street to be repaired. Queen Victoria is on the stamp. “Ralph says that when they inevitably put a third train track in between the present two,” says McLaughlin, “they will dig right into an old Brighton dump.” I ask McLaughlin what will happen then. He replies laughing, “I am going to be waiting.” (Brighton resident Vic Schukov is a long-time journalist and writer of biography books for everyday people.

Despite the pressures of Mother’s Day weekend, the Bay of Quinte was filled to the brim this Saturday and Sunday with amateur anglers looking to catch big fish -- and even bigger prizes. The 36th annual Kiwanis Walleye World Fishing Derby kicked off at exactly midnight on Friday and thousands of prospective fishermen, women and children took to the Bay in hopes to land a legendary fish. This year’s hunt for the largest walleye and a slew of tagged prize fish saw anglers face stiff winds, high waves and tough conditions. Venturing into open water was a challenge for many smaller craft and by Sunday, with a

stiff westerly blowing, many of the anglers in small boats left their vessels on their trailers. The event itself has it’s own unique set of challenges, says the chair of the derby, Remco de Gooyer of Walleye World. “Planning is a huge process,” says de Gooyer. “We start planning every year in August because have to get everything in motion well before Christmas. We start getting the tiny wheels moving early to get the big wheels moving later.” With the Bay of Quinte and surrounding areas being part of ‘Fisheries Management Zone 20,’ de Gooyer says that folks in the area have the advantage of being Ontario’s ‘season opener’.

Fish on! Walleye Derby wet, windy and wild Continued from page 29 “It’s the first region to open for Walleye fishing in the province. That’s why we say that season starts here: we’re the only ones able to do legal fishing as the first zone that opens in the spring.” Ticket sales opened on Friday and were available until 11:59PM. As early as midnight, fishermen were able to cast their lines. At that point, de Gooyer says, “If you aren’t registered and you catch a big fish, you won’t get nothin’,” Prior to the derby, more than 150 tag fish were released with prizes ranging from $1,000 to $20,000. “What’s unique to us this year is our Leaderboard,” says de Gooyer. “It’s in real-time: so all of our weigh stations have laptops to input data immediately. The public can access it at all times.” As the largest amateur fishing event in North America, the Derby draws quite the crowd from all over Ontario, but all profits stay within the community of Quinte West. “The biggest thing that we do with the funds raised is try to help out kids that can’t do things on their own,” says Kiwanis President Pierre Lauzer who has frequently been involved in the the Derby for past years. At 5 p.m. Sunday, the big-time winners were announced: David Chong took home the Senior Pike prize with a fish weighing

a whopping 14.5 lbs whereas Kingston’s Richard Durston won the sought-after Senior Walleye Prize with a fish weighing 12.89lbs. The electronic leaderboard will remain active for those who wish to check out next years’ big competition. For access to the leaderboard and prizes, please visit www.kiwaniswalleyeworld.com

“Health hub” shouldn’t come at expense of hospital services; Our TMH Quinte West – A “health hub” being considered in Trenton is fine, so long as it doesn’t lead to further reductions in services at Trenton Memorial Hospital, says the group fighting to save TMH. Our TMH, a vocal group of concerned citizens, issued a statement on the topic on Wednesday, May 4, about a week after a presentation on the “health hub” was delivered at a Quinte Health Care board meeting. Marsha Stephens, chair of the THM Implementation Task Force, spoke to the board that governs four area hospitals, including TMH, on Tuesday, April 26.

The presentation spoke about plans, still in the very early stages, to bring several health-care related agencies under one roof in Trenton. Among the options being considered was renovating Level 3 of THM and building an addition. Another option was building a new campus for both the hub and TMH. Our TMH members, who intensely monitor decisions of the QHC board, did their own research on the issue. They say the community is strongly opposed to the health hub if it means reductions in hospital services. Our TMH surveyed people at the Bay of Quinte Home Show on a recent weekend. One of the questions asked

was: “Would you support a health hub way to improve patient care, they do as long as there were no further reduc- not see it as an independent solution tions in services at TMH?” Ninety- to a reduction in services at the TMH, seven per cent of people said “yes.” the group insists. Another question was: “Would you “The Health Hub would be a nice support a health hub at TMH even if addition to a full service hospital,” reductions in services being provided said Mike Cowan, chair of Our a TMH were still at risk?” Sixty per TMH. cent of respondents said “no” meaning “So Our TMH is staying the course only 40 per cent said “yes.” – our mandate is to retain, protect And, of this 40 per cent, 32 per cent and enhance the services at Trenton of respondents did not live in the Memorial Hospital.” Trenton/Brighton community, Our TMH said.

Mental health issues have affected us all, directly or indirectly, and having an organization like CMHA-HPE there to help is a great asset to our community.” Sidsworth said there is a need for mental health counselling, both for those afflicted with problems and their families and friends. “We see between 700 and 800 people a month,” she said. “It’s a huge amount of people. “This is about community. It’s about making everyone feel that mental health is an issue we can talk about at any time.” To find out about the many programs run by the branch, including helping people recovering from mental illness get back into the workforce, teaching people about suicide prevention, and finding transitional housing for people who are homeless, visit the website at www. hastings-cmha.org or phone 613-9659-8874.

Joint symphony draws huge crowds By Jack Evans Players and supporters of both Quinte Symphony and The Northumberland Orchestra and Choir are basking in the glow of two hugely successful concerts last weekend. The joining of forces of the two neighbouring orchestras was months in the making, focussing on some major symphonic repertoire that neither orchestra could cope with on its own. The venues were a big United church in Port Hope, which drew a near capacity crowd on Saturday evening, then Bridge Street Church in Belleville, where another near capacity crowd attended one of the most successful concerts for several years.

The program opened with a contemporary Canadian work, “Akasha,” by Glen Buhr of Winnipeg, first performed by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra in 1989. The title is a Sanskrit word meaning sky or space, and the orchestra sounds immediately called to mind the great outdoors. On to another Canadian work by Vancouver-based Michael Conway Baker “Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra.” The two movements span a reflective but beautifully melodic larghetto followed by a vivacious and witty “vivo.” Northumberland conductor John Kraus, who presided at the podium for the first half, described the work as demonstrating “heart line and lyricism.” The audience obviously agreed, with generous applause for the scaled-down orchestra and soloist Michael Lyons.

delightful was the 11-movement “Pictures at an Exhibition,” by Modest Mussorgsky, based on an actual art show by a friend who was a painter. The stunning conclusion, a rush of orchestral sound, brought the audience bounding to its feet for a sustained and thunderous standing ovation that seemed to be for the entire concert. The score included a rare appearance at a symphony concert of a saxophone, played by John Kraus. Already, officials of the two orchestras are discussing getting together again. The concept has certainly proven to be a crowd pleaser.

Dan Clost It’s time for guidance counsellors, teachers and students to look at Green Collar Careers. Folks, the horticultural trade takes in many disciplines from carpentry to architectural design, from equipment operation to industrial math, from hard slugging days of “pick it up, move it there, put it down, do it again” to showing your clients the finished product. This is not a career path for slackards or floaters. It requires hard work, intelligence and determination. It is a career where all of your values are put into practice, where going green is not just a catchy phrase and it is not for the faint of heart because your work is on display for all to see. Your work is almost always outside. When the weather is so cold that many

Now THAT’s entertainment By Jack Evans Stirling - When you’ve sat through, laughed through and been royally entertained by “On a First Name Basis,” it’s easy to write a glowing review. Such is the case for the Norm Foster play, which ran last week in the Stirling Festival Theatre. If you have to ask who Norm Foster is, he is Ontario-born, Maritime-raised, Canada’s most performed playwright with some 50 shows to his credit so far and more to come. Adding a high note, Foster himself played the lead role in this show, which also featured a vivacious blonde, Patricia Vanstone, as a maid in love with her unloving employer. There are only two people on stage throughout, but what a pair! Lines fly and bounce with the audience in chuckles to outright laughter at many points. When Vanstone as the maid opens an expensive bottle of wine, Foster as David, the mature, sophisticated famous writer chides, “Did you let it breathe?” “Breathe!” replies the maid, “I’m about to give it mouth to mouth resuscitation.”

Learning with shock that he pays his maid $97,000 a year, Foster, as David, milks the same line several times, a la Jack Benny, getting hearty laughs every time. Foster’s work has always drawn happy crowds to various productions throughout the Quinte area, and this one is sure to come back via various amateur companies in the months and years ahead. Those who have seen the author himself with his tall, stage– commanding presence, will have something to compare them to. The plot is simple. The maid has worked for a slovenly author for 28 years and he doesn’t even know her first name. In deciding to find out more about her on an otherwise quiet evening for him, he gets hung up on the “second” man in her life, which turns out to be himself. This show is a keeper and will probably continue to draw audiences as happy and appreciative as that at the opening matinee in Stirling last week. As for a playwright acting in his own shows: Shakespeare did it frequently. And Foster actually performed as an amateur actor before he decided to write plays himself.

8 Wing responds to Fort McMurray fire tasking By Ross Lees CFB Trenton – A C-130J Hercules aircraft departed from 8 Wing/Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Trenton just after noon on Wednesday to assist in whatever way might be required at Fort McMurray in the wake of the massive fire which hit that community. The initial response personnel from 8 Wing was small, including only the aircraft crew, three Mobile Air Movements Sections (MAMS) personnel and an image technician. According to 8 Wing Commander Col. Colin Keiver, 8 Wing, under the direction of MajorGeneral D.L.R. Wheeler in Winnipeg, has been tasked to move the aircraft and personnel to Cold Lake to pre-position them as close to Fort McMurray as possible if and when they are required so that the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) assets are in place and ready to go to work. “We’ve not been tasked with anything else,” Col. Keiver stated. “What we’ve done at the Wing is we’ve put a C-17 and an Airbus crew and airplanes on standby and there are a bunch of people here at 2 Air Movements who are also on standby to go as well. This operation will be about moving things, either into Fort McMurray or out

of Fort McMurray. It’s these airplanes that will do that and these people – like the Air Movements technicians – that will help get those things on and off the airplanes. That’s what we’re posturing ourselves to do right now.” Beyond those instructions, Col. Keiver and the personnel at 8 Wing know little except they want to be ready to respond to any eventuality. “I don’t know what we’re going to move, when we’re going to move it or how much we’re going to move, but we’re getting ready to move. We’ve got a big empty hole in the back of that airplane and what we decide to put in it is what we decide to put in it. It could absolutely involve evacuees and I don’t know what the state of that is right now, but I expect it’s going to involve a little bit of bringing things out of Fort McMurray and bring things into Fort McMurray to assist the community.” The people tasked to go on the initial flight are well qualified, he said. “Even getting into Fort McMurray through the smoke coming in, there will probably be instrument procedures required to get in,” he said. “At the end of the day, what we will do is we will still be safe and effective and we’ll still accomplish the mission.”

Ontario faces “epidemic” of deaths from prescribed drugs: doctor By Stephen Petrick Belleville – The number of people dying from non-intentional overdoses of doctorprescribed drugs amounts to an “epidemic” said a Kingston-based medical officer of health in an impassioned presentation to the Hastings Prince Edward Public Health board Wednesday, May 4. Dr. Kieran Moore, an Associate Medical Officer of Health for the Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington Health Unit, delivered some startling facts in a presentation on the “opioid epidemic in Ontario.” Opioids are medications that relieve pain, such as morphine, codeine and oxycodone. In Ontario there were 5,383 non-intentional opioid-related deaths from 2002 to 2014, Moore said. The data does not apply to intentional overdoses, as those are considered suicides. There’s no recent data on this subject for the Hastings-Prince Edward region, Moore said, however up to 2010 the region was experiencing about five opioid-deaths per

year. “Those numbers have gone up, I promise you,” he said to the board. Moore’s presentation served as a call for the medical community to address this issue, as currently there are few regulations to ensure doctors are not over prescribing drugs. For instance, he said, doctors who prescribe an opioid drug to a patient have no easy way of learning whether that patients has other prescriptions from other doctors for the same type of drug. Moore said if these deaths were happening in hospitals, committees would be formed to see how they could have been avoided. But “because they’re happening in our community, there’s no oversight.” He added that one in eight deaths among people aged 20 to 35 in 2010 were related to opioid drugs. That means more people from that age demographic are dying from prescribed drugs than in motor vehicle collisions, he said. “We don’t have good physician oversight, Dr. Kieran Moore delivered a presentation on “Ontario’s opioid epidemic” to the Hastings Prince Edward Public Health Board despite being in this epidemic for 14 years,” May 4. Moore said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Up in flames

Dear Editor, Fort McMurray is on everyone’s mind these days. It’s literally on fire. The pictures on the news are frightening and have been likened to the Apocalypse. People are fleeing their homes, driving through engulfing smoke and flames, while fireballs bounce off their vehicles. Some are recording this horrifying, fiery escape with dash camcorders. It’s like we are there too, amidst the hell bent conflagration. They are surrounded by soaring, flaming evergreens that once decorated the vast expanse of highway that enabled residents to travel to Edmonton in two hours. Now with the mammoth human evacuation fleeing for their lives, it takes ten hours driving on this lone road out of town. How can we really know their terror? This fire has a mind of its own and fleeing their homes to save their lives and those of their family is paramount. What little they can salvage is all they may have left of their lives there. Talk about refugees! We in Canada hardly discern the meaning of the word, except to

bring them to our country when we can. I’ve heard some of our recent Syrian refugees have offered the furniture they were given on arrival to help their Canadian counterparts. Welcome to Canada, dear people. I just read a post on Facebook today by a young father who stated that the only thing that was important to him was right beside him and that was his FAMILY. God bless him. You know, he’s right, but it’s hard to lose everything and have to start over. That fire is still blazing, licking its angry flames at our brave firefighters from all over Canada; trying to pull airborne water bombers into its cruel blistering inferno, endangering more brave Canadians. Courageous people from all walks of life have journeyed to Fort McMurray to help with the safe evacuation of almost 80,000 inhabitants. Food, water, gas and other supplies have been donated from across our country. Towns along the way to Edmonton have opened up their hearts, their homes, and their community centres to house people that need rest, food and lodging. I just saw a post from a gentleman who owned safe houses nearby who was

offering them to families who needed shelter - free gratis. My daughter-inlaw, who has five young children, just came in and said she had donated $5 to the residents of Fort Mac and if every family did it would help a lot. We know that their city will be rebuilt in time, but there is a lot of money and effort that has to go into it before that happens. There is a lot of heartbreak that has to be dealt with, and a lot of frustration that will be evident before people have their housing etc. replaced. Not everyone’s home will be burnt to the ground, but those that aren’t will be smoke damaged and heaven knows what else will have to be repaired. Some good advice, again on Facebook, was for people to keep all their receipts for hotel expenses etc, because the Insurance companies would come good for them because it was a forced evacuation. I believe the young father, who celebrated his family’s safety and rejoiced, has the right idea. God bless him and all who are walking this path to safety. Marie A. Leavey Kelleher Campbellford

Cycling in St. Louis’ Popular and Attractive Forest Park

By John M. Smith While in St. Louis, Missouri, I wanted to explore its large urban park, and I decided that the best way for me to do this would be to hop on a bike. I found that there were both paved and gravel recreational paths, and they led me to a number of the city’s great attractions. This particular destination, located right in the heart of St. Louis, is one of the country’s largest urban parks, larger even than New York’s renowned Central Park, so the two-wheeled exploration was a good choice. There are even bike rentals and guided tours available through City Cycling Tours (www.citycyclingtours.com). There are also lots of joggers, walkers, and inline skaters using these trails, so you’ll have company. In fact, there’s now a plan to make a dual-lane, divided trail to relieve congestion and improve safety within this popular park. I learned that this became a park back in 1876, and it has hosted a number of significant events, including the 1904 World’s Fair (known then as the Louisiana Purchase Exposition) and the 1904 Summer Olympics. I was told that the grand park went through a time of decay and misuse later, but in the last decade, a$100 million restoration and beautification project has successfully brought it back. This project has been so appreciated by the locals that they now like to brag about this park, use it frequently, and proudly make certain that it’s kept clean. As I rode along, I was amazed at the lack of litter. Indeed, this park was almost immaculate!

I passed by meadows, forests, streams, ponds, and several man-made lakes on my tour of the park. I also passed a skating rink, tennis courts, handball courts, 3 golf courses, and several sports fields. However, one of my favourite scenic spots just had to be Forest Park’s Grand Basin, for it’s lined with classical promenades and several fountains that propel water high up into the air, and it’s very popular with paddle boaters, too. It’s also the very place where the majority of wedding photos would take place! And overlooking this Grand Basin is the magnificent St. Louis Art Museum, which contains more than 30,000 incredible works of art and galleries that range from ancient artifacts to the very modern. Just outside this building stands a large bronze statue of an armoured and mounted King Louis IX of France, preparing for battle (the Apotheosis of St. Louis). I also particularly liked my ride past the Muny, for it’s the nation’s oldest outdoor theatre. This popular venue has been producing Broadway-quality musicals since its opening in 1917, and it’s still a tradition for some of the locals to arrive very early and try to get some of the back 1,500 seats that are always offered for free. If you snooze, you lose! Directly in front of the Muny was the Pagoda Circle, a circular drive around a lake (Pagoda Lake) with an island, and on that island was the restored Nathan Frank Bandstand, with its white marble and its bronze railings. Another highlight in this park has to be the Missouri History Museum, with its 16-ton statue of Thomas Jefferson just inside its doors. This mu-

WOOD HEAT SOLUTIONS RECOGNIZED WITH CENTRAL BOILER SALES ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS Wood Heat Solutions, a Frankford-based Central Boiler dealer, was recently honored at the biennial Central Boiler Dealer Convention with 2014 and 2015 Silver Sales Achievement Awards. Bob and Andrea Chesher received the awards at a banquet during the convention, held in Las Vegas, Nevada in April. More than 375 dealers and guests were present. Sales Achievement awards are given to dealers who have met significant sales goals for the year. Central Boiler is proud to recognize these dealers for their commitment and dedication to running strong businesses with self-sustaining practices. They represent some of the most successful outdoor wood furnaces dealers in the country. These awards are based on sales levels, but as Central Boiler CEO and owner, Dennis Brazier, pointed out, “No one reaches these kinds of sales levels without effective business practices, planning and customer satisfaction. These dealers are committed to excelling in all of these areas.” About Central Boiler Central Boiler is the leading manufacturer of outdoor furnaces. The company’s products are designed to provide inexpensive or free heat for homes, hot water and more using safe, clean and renewable energy resources. Central Boiler awards its top dealers of the nation each year and then presents the awards at its biennial dealer convention. For more information about Central Boiler outdoor furnaces, please call Bob Chesher at 613-398-1611. You may also send e-mail to bobchesher@sympatico.ca or visit centralboiler.com.

The Missouri History Museum is located within the park

seum offers a look back at the 1904 World’s Fair in one exhibit and a detailed examination of the history of the city of St. Louis in another. Yet another not-to-be-missed park attraction is the McDonnell Planetarium, part of the Saint Louis Science Centre, for it hosts monthly stargazing events and enthralling exhibits about living in space. An enclosed footbridge will lead you to the main building, and as you cross the highway, glass floor panels show the vehicles whizzing by below, and radar guns record their specific speeds for you. A ride through the park will also take you to the entrance to the St. Louis Zoo, one of the top zoos in the country, with its more than 20,000 animals, its train ride, its Hippo Harbour, Sea Lion Sound, Penguin and Puffin Coast, and its especially popular Children’s Zoo, where there’s a see-through slide

through an otter pool and an area where kangaroos play right alongside an indoor playset. If you enjoy gardens and flowers, then you’ll want to visit the park’s Jewel Box, too, for you’ll find rose gardens and lily ponds outside (in season)and a plethora of exotic flowers and plants inside the greenhouse. You’ll also find a statue of St. Francis of Assisi and a memorial dedicated to veterans of the Korean War. It’s rather amazing that this one park offers so many worthwhile attractions, and what makes it even more impressive is that most of these are free! Entrance to the park itself and to such major attractions as the St. Louis Art Museum, the Missouri History Museum, the St. Louis Science Centre, and the St. Louis Zoo are all free! Even the parking is free! If you decide to take in a visiting, on-loan art display, or go to a special attraction within the Zoo, such as the Children’s Zoo, then there will be a modest fee, but for the remainder, these places are free! That’s COACH & TOURS pretty rare in today’s world. After exploring this awesome park and completing my bike ride, I discovered that another way to see the park and its attractions would have been to take a narEXPERIENCE THE ROAD TO rated tour by trolley ($22.00). To each his own.

OPP warn of new CRA tax scam

Centre Hastings - Over the last week Central Hastings O.P.P has received numerous complaints indicating that a telephone tax scam is circulating in the area. Police said Friday, April 29, a resident of Marmora and Lake contacted police after she responded to a telephone call from a man claiming to be employed with the Canada Revenue Agency. The scammer alleged the resident owed back taxes and that she needed to repay her debt by purchasing prepaid credit cards and gift cards. Through repetitive phone calls that were harassing in nature the resident felt intimidated to follow the scammer’s demands which resulted in her being defrauded of thousands of dollars. The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre cautions the public of “Tax Scams” where fraudsters attempt to scam consumers and businesses by impersonating the Canada Revenue Agency. Taxpayers should be vigilant when they receive, either by telephone, mail, text message or email, a fraudulent communication that claims to be from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requesting personal information such as a social insurance number, credit card number, bank account

number, or passport number. These scams may insist that this personal information is needed so that the taxpayer can receive a refund or a benefit payment. Cases of fraudulent communication often involve threatening or coercive language to scare individuals into paying fictitious debt to the CRA. Other communications urge taxpayers to visit a fake CRA website where the taxpayer is then asked to verify their identity by entering personal information. These are scams and taxpayers should never respond to these fraudulent communications. Police have issued the following tips: Warning sign(s) - How to protect yourself Do not take immediate action. Verify that what you are being told is the truth. Ask yourself why the CRA would be asking for personal information over the phone or e-mail that they likely already have on file for you as a taxpayer. Contact the CRA to confirm that you in fact owe back taxes, or are entitled to a refund. For more information about Fraud Scams involving the CRA visit the Canada Revenue Web page at www.cra-arc. gc.ca/scrty/frdprvntn/menueng.html

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 a DVD set. The equipment was bought for the girls’ class but phys. ed. teacher Tracey GeeConte 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 L-r, Maddy Dafoe, Hailey Palmer, Neve Walker-Moores, Shelby Kelly, Sarah Kiar and Eden Kelly demonstrate a yoga pose. Photo by John Campbell

about stuff,” such as upcoming exams. It’s “a calming part of their day,” GeeConte 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,” GeeConte 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.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Landlord joins group to avoid ‘being eaten alive’ Dear Editor, The rules in Ontario surrounding residential housing have trapped landlords in shark infested waters and have made low cost housing inaccessible to most good low-income tenants. Let me tell you why. I am a small landlord in Belleville, Ontario, with 19 residential units that I rent out. Approximately half my tenants are on Ontario Works (OW) or Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) and the other half work in mostly low wage factory and service industries. Advocacy groups for renters have, and have had, a much stronger voice in influencing the legislation, regulations, and processes regarding residential rental housing in Ontario. Landlords have not been as well organized until now. The current environment is driving landlords to join together will other local landlords, as I have with the Quinte Landlord Association, to avoid being eaten alive. All small landlords now know that the current legislation and Landlord Tenant Board tribunal (LTB) is a broken system and the rules that were ostensibly set out to protect tenants have choked off the availability of affordable rental units and raised rents to everyone. In most recent Landlord Tenant Board tribunal hearings that I have

attended the adjudicator has prefaced the hearings by pointing out that their objective is to keep tenants in their units as long as possible. They have been true to their word. The standard of proof and adherence to all technical requirements in disputes is infinitely higher for landlords than it is for tenants. Adjudicators will argue for tenants and pull apart every infinitesimal detail in a landlord’s application even if the tenant does not show up to dispute a landlord’s application. I have personally had the experience of an adjudicator erroneously construing a $7.00 error on my Notice (N4) in order to dismiss my application to have a tenant who owed $8,400 in rent. It took three attempts and almost a year to have the tenant removed. The timelines to get a hearing are also extending longer and therefore increasing the loss to the landlord. The process is broken, broken, broken! Though these are considered “Justice Tribunals” they are clearly not just. They are pursuing a policy with the intent of helping a particular segment of the population (though failing at it) and they are quite willing to sacrifice common notions of “justice” to achieve them. The most obvious proof that the current system does not work is to simply look at the quantity and age of the current rental housing stock, especially if we look at the lower cost

rental units. With the exception of rental units for students—which follow a separate set of rules under the Residential Tenancy Act—there is very little new residential rental units being built. Under the current rules it simply isn’t economically feasible to build new for the purposes of renting. Also, when a landlord now rents out to a new prospective tenant they have to employ two major strategies. The first is to be so stringent in terms of proof of adequate income, rental history, credit rating, employment, etc. that no low-income person will qualify and, secondly, the landlord has to charge a high enough rent to cover the costs of those tenants who do not pay and who damage units and whom they cannot easily remove. I would be able to charge each and every one of my tenants $200 per month less if I knew I could remove a problem tenant within one month. The bias to keep tenants in their units for a longer period of time regardless of whether or not they pay rent costs all tenants more. The Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing has to consider that the continued biases in the legislation and the LTB proceedings eventually determines the behaviour of tenants in the community. Almost all landlords have had the experience of having a tenant who knew they could not be removed easily and therefore made no effort to pay rent, willfully destroyed properLeaseBusters.com is the largest ty, and acted with vehicle lease marketplace in Canada. impunity.

Rotary spelling bee helps promote literacy By Stephen Petrick Belleville – These kids were i-n-c-r-e-d-i-b-l-e. Incredible. Several Rotary Clubs from the region got together on Saturday, May 7 to hold an Inter-Rotary Spelling Bee at The Greek Hall in Belleville. The event featured 39 students from schools throughout the Quinte area. All of these students had won Spelling Bee competitions at their own schools, to qualify for the Inter-Rotary event. Kai Siggens, of St. Gregory Catholic School in Picton, was the winner in the early-morning junior competition, which featured 20 competitors. The Intermediate competition was won by Aaron Harvey of C.M.L. Snider School in Wellington.

He took home the top prize after a long battle with Katie Giradeau, a finalist from Prince Charles Trenton. The final round had several stages and; among the tricky words the finalists had to spell were: fluoride, epidemic and discretion. The Belleville, Brighton, Quinte Sunrise, Trenton and Wellington Rotary Clubs contributed to this event. First place came with a prize of $100 for the student, plus another $200 for the student’s school. One of the organizers, Jill Yarnell, said the Spelling Bee is one of many projects Rotary clubs are involved with this year as part of a campaign to promote literacy. She praised the efforts of all the students, who she said were “amazing.” “You’re the crème de la Aaron Harvey, of C.M.L. Snider school, spells a word from the podium at the Greek Hall while competing in the Inter-Rotary Spelling Bee. He would win the intermediate competicrème,” she said. “And tion.

Hot Diggity Dogs – it’s flyball season

With the warmer weather a feeling of excitement and restlessness starts to come over the Hot Diggity Dogs (HDD) with the kickoff of their 2016 Flyball Season. That “spring fever” can be credited to the excited anticipation of the upcoming public performances. Their high-energy demonstrations of flyball, high jump, and the talent show at local events during the summer and fall months are sure to please and

entertain. Flyball is a relay sport, fun for you and your dog. Four dogs to a team are raced head to head across a 51-foot course that is set with a series of four hurdles. At one end is a “flyball box,” that releases a tennis ball when the spring catch is pressed by the dog. The dog then carries the ball back over the hurdles to the start line. The next dog in the team then runs the course. The

winning team is determined by which team successfully completes the race first, with the fewest or no penalties. Hot Diggity Dogs Flyball Club (HDD) was started in 1999 by Natalie and Denny Cornell with the philosophy Everyone Gets to Play. The club trains in Quinte West at an indoor training ring with a diverse membership. HDD compete against other teams from all over Canada and the United States

in sanctioned flyball tournaments traveling to Quebec and all over Ontario. What makes this club so well-known is their continued presence at local fairs and charity events. Hot Diggity Dogs kick off their 2016 performance season at the Barks By The Bay event May 28 at Trenton’s Centennial Park. Look for their trademark bright green uniforms at local community events near you

this season. Just follow the sound of barking dogs and cheering crowds and you’ll be sure to find the dogs. For more information about the Hot Diggity Dogs Flyball Club call 1-613398-0002 or email Natalie at natrat@ explornet.ca. Follow the group on Facebook or the website, hotdiggitydogs.info for public performance dates and some great flyball pictures.

Buddy plays flyball like a pro. He’s one of numerous dogs who participate in the Hot Diggity Dogs group, which is preparing for a new season of tail-wagging fun. Submitted photo

Major new stars for jazz festival Prince Edward County – As summer approaches, most people have long lists of things they’re looking forward to – vacations, swimming, fishing, camping golfing, reunions, travel. But summer also brings the annual Prince Edward County Jazz Festival and this year’s lineup promises to be one worth catching. Featured will be Emilie-Claire Barlow, who stole the hearts of audiences with her remarkable and sophisticated jazz stylings three years ago, making a a comeback, now with newly-acquired Juno status, plus Robi Botos, also now a Juno winner and a participant for the past few years. Each one has captured two out of three eligible jazz Junos this year plus other recognitions. The festival runs Aug. 18-21 at various locations throughout The County, with main stage events in The Regent Theatre, Picton and the annual and very popular jazz mass in St. Mary Magdalene Anglican Church on the closing Sunday. Brian Barlow, creative director, said: “The entire festival this year is steeped in Juno, Gemini and even Grammy winners and nominees. The lineup also includes Joe Sealy, Jackie Richardson, Mike Murley, Guido Basso, Bernie Senensky and Barlow himself. As proof that jazz is keeping up with the times, Barlow notes the average age of performers is getting younger, now at less than 40 with a solid lineup of TD Young Jazz series participants . “This jazz festival is alive, well, hip and going places,” he added. As usual, the festival opens with a

lecture, this time by Guido Basso, called “Backstage in Conversation,” on Tuesday, Aug. 16 at 7 p.m. in The Baxter Centre, Bloomfield. Wednesday, Aug. 17 is Jazz Overture with the Mark Eisenman Trio and Phil Dwyer at 5:30 p.m. at the Waring House, Picton. Emilie-Claire Barlow hits the

Regent Theatre stage on Thursday at 8 p.m. With two Juno jazz album awards plus seven nominations and11 albums to her credit so far, Barlow places herself squarely in the front of jazz anywhere. The legendary Guido Basso takes the Regent stage on Friday, Aug. 19 at 8 p.m. with friends for a rousing

Friday night concert. Saturday, Aug. 20 at 2 p.m. Robi Botos and Judi Proznick are freatured in a concert at St. Mary Magdalene Church, followed in the evening at The Regent by Africville, with Joe Sealy and Jackie Richaradson, the jazz story of Canada’s oldest black community

in Halifax. The jazz mass is at 10:30 a.m. Sunday with a closing concert at 8 p.m. at The Regent, a “big band burner” featuring all of Canada’s best musicians and a salute to Frank Sinatra. For tickets or information, visit: www.pecjazz.org

Robi Botos, a Juno winner, will appear in the Prince Edward Jazz Festival. Submitted photo
