Brighton — Jim Nelson, the popular auctioneer who was as adept at raising laughter as he was a bid, often in aid of a charitable cause, died suddenly at his home near Codrington on May 10. He was 65. As recently as March, while serving as a host on an Ontario Holsteins district tour in Northumberland County, Nelson said he had no plans to quit farming or stop working as an auctioneer, which he began doing in 1974. He and his brother Boyd farmed together for more than 40 years before his brother retired. Nelson and his wife Andrea, along with their son Robert and daughter-in-law Amelia, continued to run Arcadia Farms. “Life might be a little bit easier” if he were to retire, he said at the time, “but as long as I keep my health, it's about all I need.” “What a real shock for our community,” Brighton Mayor Mark Walas said. He was “a tremendous volunteer and did a lot of work through the Quinte and Northumberland area with his Jim Nelson, who died suddenly May 10, was in great demand as an aucauctioneering.” tioneer and a strong advocate for the dairy industry.

Brighton – As second decision made by Brighton council concerning Lakeside Landing has been appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). “The proponent of Lakeside Landing subdivision, whose lawyer previously wrote to the municipality regarding the proposal to use a lowpressure sanitary collection system… has filed an OMB appeal,” said CAO Bill Watson in his report to council on Monday, May 8. Council recently endorsed staff’s position to require the use of a conventional gravity sewer system for the development. “I’m troubled by the fact that we have this on the agenda,” said Councillor Brian Ostrander Monday. “I’m troubled by the fact that we have the mayor of Brighton issuing suit against the people of Brighton.”

Popular Brighton auctioneer's death 'a real shock' for the community continued from page 1
And as a longtime farmer, Nelson was “a good representative” for Brighton’s agricultural community. “He was always very vibrant, very excited, very passionate about what he was doing, (with) a great sense of humour ... and always had the crowd going,” Walas said. He was a true “country gentleman.” “We will remember his humour, wit, friendliness and talents — both as a farmer and cattleman and as an auctioneer,” said Cathy McCann, in one of many tributes posted on the Weaver Family Funeral Home website. “Our community of Codrington will miss Jim, as will his many associates across our area.” The Northumberland Cattlemen’s Association said it was “very grateful” for its long relationship with Nelson, who “entertained with his own style of auctioneering” at the Cattlemen’s annual Steer Show held during the Roseneath Fall Fair. Sue Jouwstra, who served as the association’s secretarytreasurer for many years, said Nelson was a good friend she was proud to know. He was a gentleman “and a very caring person,” she said.
Nelson is survived by his wife of 37 years, Andrea; their three children — James (and his wife Charlotte), Jennifer (and her husband Alex) and Robert (and his wife Amelia); three grandchildren; and his brother Boyd. A memorial service was scheduled for May 16 at Weaver’s West Chapel in Trenton. Nelson’s family said donations to the Gleaners Food Bank or Frankford Youth Centre would be appreciated.

Mayor and municipality will be on opposite sides at OMB hearing continued from page 1
Lakeside Landing is a subdivision owned by Mayor Mark Walas. He was not in attendance for the meeting and cannot speak about the subdivision. Council unanimously authorized staff Monday, to engage lawyer John Ewart to act on behalf of the municipality regarding the appeal. The CAO will also investigate engineering consultants, “who may offer expert testimony on the municipality’s behalf” during the appeal. “I am really disappointed in what has happened…” said Councillor Roger McMurray. “I’m heartbroken that it’s gone this way, I really am – it’s mud in our eye, it’s mud on our face, this council has been smeared with mud and it’s just starting…” Ostrander sought reassurance from municipal staff Monday, asking Watson if both he and Ewart were confident “a vigorous defense” could be made on behalf of the municipality. Watson’s response was, “Yes.” The CAO said Ewart, who previously represented the municipality during the last appeal related to Lakeside Landing was “a good choice,” being familiar with the development and the “situation.” “I believe his part in this will be largely technical in terms of process,” said Watson. The CAO anticipates “the real heat of the debate” will be based around engineering. “This is a leadership issue that has to be resolved, that’s all I have to say,” said McMurray. In his report, Watson outlines costs are expected around $50,000 judging from the mu-

nicipality’s two previous OMB appeal bills. Both were last reported in terms of costs in the $40-$50,000 range. Costs are a primary concern for Councillor John Martinello, he said, considering the municipality’s recent difficulty with recouping costs after both appeals. “In this particular one, we stand alone against an opponent,” noted Watson. In other words, “the only hope” the municipality will have to collect costs is if it’s a clear win. Council would again then have to ask the OMB for a ruling on costs, explained Watson. Attached in Monday’s agenda was notice of the appeal of the draft plan subdivision conditions, from Aird & Berlisllp Barristers and Solicitors on behalf of the developer. “The matter at issue relates specifically to
the detailed engineering design drawings prepared by our client’s engineering consultant… relating to the proposed sanitary sewer collection system for the subdivision,” wrote Patrick J. Harrington, from Aird & Berlisllp Barristers and Solicitors. Municipal staff previously took the stance that before even considering an alternative system, there should be compelling reasons not to install a conventional system. “We’ve been trying to get them to discuss the issues of this and I’ve asked them a series of questions that they have not answered…” said Watson. The developer’s lawyer insists the municipality refuses to accept technical explanations. “Despite our client’s engineering consultant’s best efforts to address the municipality’s concerns and despite our client’s independent peer review that supports the proposed lowpressure sewer system over the conventional gravity system, the municipality refuses to accept this proposed servicing option, thereby stalling all progress on the subdivision,” wrote Harrington. The developer’s lawyer outlines his client has worked diligently the past nine-plus-years to satisfy draft plan conditions, but insists the manner the municipality seeks to implement “Condition 4 is unreasonable, inappropriate, unnecessary, inequitable and not related to the consequences of our client’s development.” “As a result, the registration of our client’s draft plan of subdivision has been frustrated and delayed.” Councillor Steven Baker reflected on the
pledge members of council make when elected to office and while correspondence was shared Monday. “You all recall we all took an oath when we were elected and I feel this action and the action of Mr. Walas flies in the face of that oath,” said Baker. “…I think his business interests fly in the face of that and I think Mr. Walas should do the right thing and resign.”

OMB hearing background: Mayor versus municipality BY SARAH HYATT
On the Mayors side • Steve Blakey, a professional engineer with Greer Galloway Consulting Group Inc., previously provided a summary to council and staff detailing why the low-pressure sewer system was preferred for Lakeside Landing. • The high-water table was reportedly the main reason, with worries that a conventional system with a central pumping station would require “significant dewatering” during construction, negatively impacting neighbouring wells. • “Heavy pumping of water from a deep excavation will alter the groundwater flow path in the area and will negatively impact private wells, possibly
even contaminating their wells from their own septic systems,” said Blakey. • The low-pressure system would avoid this, with minimal impacts to the environment and is also the “most cost-effective solution for the developer and the municipality,” considering the municipality wouldn’t need to add another pumping station to operate and maintain, stressed Blakey. • Also during his summary, the engineer highlighted the system was approved by the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change, already existed and was approved elsewhere in the municipality and that the system had been used successfully in subdivisions in Quinte West since 2008, without
any issues to date. • “An additional advantage of the low-pressure sewer is that it will not leak and therefore there will be no inflow and infiltration that is a bain to municipal sanitary sewer systems.” • Lawyers and engineers suggested any concerns the municipality had with respect to a low-pressure system could be managed through adequate conditions contained in the subdivision agreement, as well as through phased construction. On the other side: • Municipal staff say such systems perhaps deemed unconventional are to be utilized where conventional systems cannot be utilized or when “highly

impractical.” • Individual pumps under private ownership “places a great deal of responsibility for pumping on private owners,” and means the collective system would be dependent on a series of private pumps. • Measures can be taken during construction to ensure minimal and/or temporary impacts to neighbouring wells, reports CAO Bill Watson. • In conversations with other municipal staff that have operated systems long-term, lifespans of pumps are reportedly about five-to-10 years and some hardware similar. “They indicate pumps are difficult to service and replacement costs are in the mid $5k range.” (Sig-
nificant problems with the pipes themselves were not identified). • Staff expressed concerns over some connections and how homes connected to lowpressure pipes could be protected from backpressure or backups. • Staff says they’ve asked the proponent “numerous times” to demonstrate several key points to help with making a decision. (Examples: specific reasons that make a conventional system impossible, additional costs of rock excavation, pumping station and other issues that make it impossible to service the development in the normal manner). • Staff “take issue with the assumption” to a high water table in the area and how it seems
to indicate that a pressure system moving sewage in contact with ground water would somehow be safer than a gravity system. • It would be difficult for staff to detect leaks in the system, with little opportunity to monitor flows or inspect pipes, as all municipal equipment is much larger than proposed pipes. • There are reportedly few areas where similar systems are used in Brighton and none are subdivisions – meaning there aren’t worries over multiple pumps or homes failing. • Staff believe the proposed system could work, but feel the reasons it’s proposed as an alternative are insufficient, considering the potential risks and liabilities that come with it.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Mayor haranguing unjustified Dear Editor, Much is being made about Mark Walas challenging Council’s decision to oppose his proposal dealing with waste infrastructure for his Lakeside Landing Development and his recent decision to file appeal with the Ontario Municipal Board. Mr. Walas’ decision to make appeal is being seen by many as troubling because Mr. Walas is also the Mayor. While many readers will recall when I served on Council Mayor Walas and I certainly had our share of disagreements, however I would like to provide clarity into this current situation. When Mark Walas ran for Mayor in 2010 and then again in 2014 he did not hide from the citizens of Brighton that he
is a business person who develops housing on significant land holdings. In both instances he won election handily. In my four years on Council Mayor Walas was very consistent in declaring pecuniary interest and removing himself from the decision making process of any proposal that dealt with any of his business proposals before Council including Lakeside Landing. Just because Mark Walas is Mayor of Brighton doesn’t mean that as a business person he is precluded from being subject to or accessing any laws that every individual in our community has at their disposal. Our Mayor is well within his rights as a citizen and business owner to appeal Council’s decision concerning the Lakeside
Landing proposal. Perhaps the “big picture” perspective in all of this is to assess what led us to where we are now. Municipal elections are important exercises that should not be popularity contests. Respectfully, we need to better understand what our Council does and the scope and importance of the decisions it makes, and then choose the best candidate based on their resume/experience to make important decisions that affect our daily lives and the future of our community. Perhaps then we may avoid issues that face our community similar to the Lakeside Landing affair. Don’t lose sight of the forest for the trees. Thomas Rittwage Brighton

Head of Cramahe council scolds deputy mayor in news release BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Cramahe Township — Simmering tensions between Mayor Marc Coombs and Deputy Mayor Sandra Arthur boiled to the surface last week with Coombs issuing a news release upbraiding Arthur for “calling into question the professionalism and integrity” of staff in open council. “Not only did this public questioning of staff’s capabilities show a complete lack of respect and trust, it also unfortunately had the effect of stirring up adverse and hostile commentary in social media suggesting that something was wrong in Cramahe,” Coombs said in his release May 12. The mayor said it was necessary to counter “completely erroneous claims” the deputy mayor made at a meeting May 2 when she insisted the township was the only municipality in Northumberland County to have been asked to sign a planning letter prior to an audit being done. Coombs said a subsequent “full investigation” proved Arthur's claims were “patently false” as six treasurers had confirmed their municipalities had also received planning letters from their auditors. It's “important to publicly set the record straight,” he wrote. “The Deputy Mayor was offered a chance to do this but refused, thus the reason for this press release. The spreading of false information, whether in-
S
tentional or not, simply by its inference damages the reputation of all councillors, staff and the Municipality at large.” Coombs said it's the responsibility of all council members to “perform their duties in a way that promotes public confidence in Council, staff and the municipality in general.” Arthur defended herself in an email to Coombs, saying council meetings are a forum for conducting business and holding discussions. Senior staff know “or should know, that questions and clarifications of information are part and parcel of the responsibilities of us all,” she stated. Coombs said in an interview he had acted out of “frustration” with the deputy mayor's refusal to retract her comments, because he has raised concerns about her conduct before but to no effect. Her latest comments in open council were “the last straw,” he said. Staff are “upset and frustrated” as well with her “grandstanding and ... making herself look good at (their) expense.” But Arthur fought back in an interview May 13, saying she is simply doing her due diligence
as a council member in seeking answers to “questions and concerns that have come to me.” The deputy mayor had told council at the May 2 meeting she would be meeting with an auditor from Collins Barrows
to discuss the planning letter which includes an explanation of the responsibilities council members have as part of the audit process. The questions were about “a combination of some things,”
she said, without going into detail, and they are currently “being reviewed.” Arthur wasn't happy with the mayor's decision to issue a news release, saying the matter should have been dealt with in

OPINION
Preposterous times: It’s going to be a long 4 years
All the talk of special prosecutors and the like will not bring the man to book. The soap opera will continue and no amount of dysfunction in the White House will make it stop until early 2019 at best. Even though a great deal of damage will have done by then. Gwynne Dyer been Some of the damage will only affect the United States. Donald Trump doesn’t often violate the Constitution, but he breaks all the unwritten rules that regulate the behaviour of public officials: don’t use your office to enrich yourself, don’t give plum jobs to your relatives, don’t fire the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation because he’s leading an investigation into possibly treasonous behaviour among your close associates. However, these are domestic American problems, and the American republic will survive them. In four years, or at most eight, Trump will be gone, and more-or-less normal service will resume. But the same recklessness, brought to bear on foreign affairs, may have far bigger consequences. Most of the concern at the moment is focused on North East Asia where Trump’s scarcely veiled threat to “do something” about North Korea could escalate a long-standing problem into a “major, major conflict”. But most other major players in the North East Asian game are grownups who do not want a nuclear war in their region, so the risk of a calamity there is much smaller than it looks. The Middle East is more frightening than north east Asia in this context, for half the countries of the regions are already at war one way or another, none of the regimes really feels secure – and Trump has already launched a missile strike against the Syrian regime. He justified it as retaliation for the alleged use of poison gas by the Assad regime – an allegation that has not been conclusively proved – but most people in the region take it as a sign that he is joining the Sunni side of a region-wide SunniShia war. This alignment didn’t start with Trump, of course. For more than half a century the United States has seen Saudi Arabia, the effective leader of the Sunni bloc, as its most important ally in the Middle East, and for the past forty years it has regarded Iran as the root of all evil in the region. Iran is the leader of the Shia bloc. In fact, it is the only big and powerful Shia country. Trump has already expressed hostility towards Iran, and his intentions to abandon the treaty that President Obama signed to contain Iran’s nuclear weapons
ambitions for the next ten years. And on Friday Trump is making his first foreign visit – to Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the defacto ruler of Saudi Arabia and leader of the Sunni bloc. Although Prince Mohammed is almost forty years younger than Donald Trump, the two men share several striking characteristics. The Saudi Arabian leader (his father, King Salman, is 81 and not fully functional) is not as ignorant as Trump, but the two men are almost twins in temperament. The Prince is just as vain as Trump, just as impulsive, and just as likely to start a fight he can’t finish. Prince Mohammed’s escalation of Saudi Arabian support for the al Qaeda-linked faction in the Syrian civil war two years ago was the direct cause for the Russian intervention that ultimately saved the Assad regime. His military intervention in Yemen, trying to put the Saudi Arabian-imposed president back into power has led only to an unwinnable war and a looming famine in the country. And he’s up for fighting Iran too. In an interview broadcast this month on Saudi TV he said: “we will not wait until the battle is in Saudi Arabia. We will work so the battle is in Iran.” Why? Because, according to the Prince, Iran’s leaders are planning to seize Islam’s most sacred city, Mecca, in the heart of Saudi Arabia, and establish their rule over the world’s billion and a half Muslims. This is paranoid nonsense. Only one tenth of the world’s Muslims are Shia. The only three Muslim countries (out of 50) where they are the majority are Iran, Iraq and tiny Bahrein. Iran sends troops to help the beleaguered, Shiadominated Assad regime in Syria, and money and weapons to the (Shia) Hezbollah movement in Lebanon. But in the 38 years since the current regime came to power in Tehran, it has never invaded anybody And the notion that it could or would invade Saudi Arabia is simply laughable. Never-the-less, what matters here are not the facts but what Trump and Prince Mohammed may believe to be the facts. So the prospect of the two men getting together in Riyadh will arouse dread in Iran, and in some other quarters as well. It’s preposterous to imagine that Saudi Arabia would attack Iran directly or that the United States would encourage Saudi Arabia or pursue such a strategy – or that Russia would let itself be drawn in on the other side. But we do live in preposterous times. There is no chance that the Republican majority in the US Congress would impeach Donald Trump before the mid-term elections in late 2018 no matter what he does. Unless there is a complete collapse in the Republican vote then, they won’t impeach him either. It’s going to be a long four years.

Gosport resident offers big thanks for flood support DEAR EDITOR;
I love Brighton, especially Gosport. During our recent rising water crisis our neighbours came together and started damage control. Josh Amos quarterbacked the effort providing guidance, pumps, trucks, his entire family and recruitment. Local help included James Mountain, Peter Harrald, Derek Ward, Dave Graham, JR and Bev Coe, the Forget family, the Payne family, Sherm Cooper and many others in the area. ENSS provided construction class volunteers and
refreshments all day Friday. Kudos to councillor Steven Baker for all his physical support and recruitment skills. Thanks to the works department for sand and bags. Special thanks to the new works director for providing more sand and bags on Saturday and Sunday. You know who you are. We would have failed without these supplies. Thanks to all the volunteers and everyone for their help. I love this town. Thank you, Chuck Ward

In case of emergency, fill out this form — in advance BY JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com
Brighton — Seconds matter when your life's at stake. It's vital, then, in a medical emergency to accurately and quickly communicate the information paramedics and firefighters require to begin administering aid. But that's not possible if the person in need of attention is unconscious or the information being conveyed is problematic because the person is confused or stressed. That won't be an issue with a new program launched by the Rotary Club of Brighton and the Brighton fire department: ICE (In Case of Emergency). It's a form residents can fill out that includes their medical history, list of medications, allergies, personal details, and contact information,
which they can then store in a plastic folder that has a magnet so it can be attached to a fridge for ready access. The form also has a section for “special considerations” such as whether the person wants to be an organ donor, picks up a child at school or a daycare centre, or has a communicable disease or infection. There's even space for information about pets in the home. Rotarian Dave Sharpe learned about the program while visiting a Rotary Club in Florida and he has spearheaded its introduction over the past several months. He approached fire Chief Lloyd Hutchinson with his proposal and the two of them fine-tuned the ICE form to increase the amount of information collected. Northumberland County's Emergency Medical Services also provid-
ed input. “The whole idea of this was to make sure the first responders have the proper medical information before they treat you,” Sharp said, and the quicker they get it, the better. “It's a great program,” said Hutchinson, who recommended that two to three copies be made of the information sheet so emergency responders can take one with them when transporting a person to hospital. Sharp said 3,500 ICE packets, produced at a cost of close to $2,000, are available at the public library, legion, the two bank branches and Lighthouse Wealth Management at 143 Main St. If you belong to a group or organization and want to help distribute the packet, call Sharp at 613-4755109.

Building on recommendations included in the County of Northumberland’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP), the County is developing a standardized approach to traffic calming at locations where speeding issues exist on County roadways at the “entries” to hamlets and other rural communities. The proposed approach will focus on gateway treatments to be located at the speed zone transitions. The gateway treatments will combine a number of traffic calming measures, which may include lane narrowing, enhanced signage and pavement markings. To evaluate its effectiveness, the proposed traffic calming approach will be implemented at two pilot project locations in 2017. The pilot project locations will include the implementation of traffic calming gateway treatments on:

Colborne resident brings home silver from Toronto marathon Colborne — The community’s marathon champ has done it again. Longtime runner and multi-sport athlete Harold Kuschnik conquered his competition at the GoodLife Fitness Toronto Marathon recently, returning home with a second place win in the men’s 55-59 age category. He bested his competition with a time of 3:06:31 and placed 47th overall out of 1,213 runners, on Sunday, May 7. “The rain stayed away and cool temperatures hovering around 4 degrees Celsius weren’t the issue,” said Kuschnik. Instead it was the northwest heavy winds at 35-kilometres per hour, gusting upwards to 50-kilometres per hour for a 15-kilometre stretch, just after the midway point that made for the biggest challenge, said Kuschnik. Still, the East Northumberland Secondary School teacher and cross-country coach
managed to best his third place finish and time from 2015. “During the windiest portions of this section, I occasionally tucked in behind other runners to save my legs for the last 10k of the race, [which is] often the most challenging since this is typically when runners hit the wall and are forced to stop and walk,” said Kuschnik. The GoodLife marathon started at Mel Lastman Square in North York and had runners go down Yonge Street, then through Toronto’s downtown core west to the Humber River, before looping back and finishing at Ontario Place. Kuschnik’s pacing was spot on for the run with an even 1:33:15 for the first and second halves and with an average pace time at 4:25 a minute, per kilometre. “Though sore, stiff and having a couple blisters, I’m pleased with the race and the results,” said Kuschnik after he returned home
from the marathon. “Running is an athletic endeavour which is equally rewarding and challenging,” he added. Running has been a passion of Kuschnik’s for more than 30 years. In September 2017, Kuschnik will also represent the area and Canada, as he heads off to Rotterdam in the Netherlands. In South Holland, Kuschnik will compete at the World International Triathlon Union Championships.

In 2016, the Colborne resident triumphed at both the Canadian Triathlon Championships and the Canadian Marathon Championships back-to-back. Kuschnik earned his Ads starting at shot to compete at the world championships and to represent Canada, after he returned home with a third place win from the Canadian Triathlon Championships in Ottawa last summer. Kuschnik brought home 1-888-967-3237 613-966-2034 bronze in the men’s 55-59 category.

Little Obie, agile dogs and a beer garden — all new at Colborne festival JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com
Colborne — For the second year in a row, the Apple Blossom Tyme Festival will take place at the Keeler Centre — and that's a good thing, says festival vice chair Jay Robinson. “We changed it up a bit this year,” but “we're not getting near the flak” in 2016 for having moved the event from downtown Colborne to the arena. “We want to have people to come out and have a good time” on May 27-28 and to do that, there's
“entertainment for the whole community,” Robinson said. “We keep the heritage of it, the roots of which come from the farming community,” while introducing “new things to keep people interested” in coming out. Such as Little Obie, a scale model of a CN locomotive that comes with a flat car and caboose. It looks like a train, “but it's a tram that people get on and go for a ride and ... learn about rail safety,” Robinson said. Ambush, a band that was earned multiple Canadian Country Music Association Awards
nominations, will perform Friday, May 26 at the centre. Tickets are $15. Also new to the festival will be dog agility shows and a beer garden. Festival organizers decided to go with a different midway this year that's bigger than its predecessor and won't have “the same old, tired rides,” Robinson said. “We're looking forward to that.” The Cramahe Township fire department will again demonstrate a Jaws of Life auto extraction, Robinson said. “That was a big draw last year.” Other returning events include a spelling bee,
baby contest, vintage tractor show, classic car show, pie eating contest, Rotary Poker Run and Lions' Purina Dog Walk. Also the Big Apple Buskers are coming back. Robinson said the committee will review the Keeler's continued suitability as a venue after the event has been held there five years. Organizers are already looking ahead to doing “something extra special” in 2018, when the festival celebrates its 30th anniversary, he said. To learn more about the festival, visit http:// www.appleblossomtyme.com.
Festival’s arena location makes for much safer venue for whole family, organizer says Colborne — The Apple Blossom Tyme Festival went smoothly its first year at the arena, but organizers were attacked on social media for removing it from downtown Colborne. But “a lot of parents were happy with it because it was safer for the kids,” festival co-chair Jay Robinson said, and one business owner told him he made money during the festival for the first time in more than a dozen years “because people could get to him.” Holding a festival on Colborne’s main street presents several problems. “One, we have a hard time fitting everybody in,” and parking is an issue,
Robinson said. Also, the emergency detour route runs through the village “so if there’s ever any issue on the 401 and that ETR has to open, everything has to move within five to 10 minutes,” he said. “You can’t spend all this money and then have it shut down because of a car accident on the 401.” As well, “there’s no rain contingency” for holding the event on the street, Robinson added, “so if it rains, the festival’s a washout.” He pointed out the festival and Cramahe Township were named in a lawsuit a few years ago by a woman who “rolled her ankle on a curb” and blamed both “for not having proper
markers out.” The lawsuit was settled, but one consequence was that the cost of insurance for the festival would have jumped from $1,000 to $5,000 “if we stayed uptown,” Robinson said. With a budget of $12,000 to $14,000 to work with, “we spend every dime making sure it’s legal and safe.” Robinson said, “The modern festival doesn’t work uptown anymore. “We just couldn’t take all those risks,” he said. “The problem is it can’t be the same-old, same-old. Those days are gone.” “We want to have a good festival (and) we want to have a fun festival,” Robinson said.

Brighton — It's a garage sale — but it isn't. Sure, it will look like one, with rows of tables stacked full of stuff, but what makes it different is that everything will be free. That's right, free. It's the Big Give, started in Ottawa in 2013 by “a group of volunteers who passionately believe that kindness and generosity are an integral part of (their) Christian faith,” according to www.thebiggive.ca. Every year, they “mobilize churches across the country to bless their neighbourhoods through a unified day of

giving extravagantly,” and Brighton Evangel Pentecostal Church on 30 Butler St. will be among those taking part when the event is held nation-wide on June 3. Wayne and Carole Kemp persuaded their church to get involved, to help those in Brighton who are “struggling to provide for their families, people who feel they have come to the end of the line (and have lost hope), sometimes feeling (that) no one cares,” they explained in an email. “We're only taking things that will bless them,” Carole said in an interview. Whether it's clothes, furniture or appliances, “they have to be clean and in good condition.”
And all will be given away “no strings attached,” Wayne said. “The Bible teaches us it is more blessed to give than to receive, and to love our neighbours as ourselves,” Carole said. The Big Give will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and include face painting, children's art, guitar lessons, hotdogs, cupcakes and cookies, again at no cost. The Kemps and another couple are at the church every Saturday from 9 to 11 a.m. accepting donations. “We have a lot of stuff already, and we're very pleased with what we've got, for our first (time) doing it,” Carole said.

Coalition wants funds for dental care for low-income adults, seniors SARAH HYATT
Northumberland – Members of the Northumberland Oral Health Coalition are hopeful a local petition on its way to Queen’s Park will help adults and seniors from falling through the cracks when it comes to dental care. The petition is calling for more publicly funded dental support programs for both adults and seniors in Ontario. “Dental-related visits to hospital ERs are a poor use of health-care dollars that could be better spent on prevention and treatment programs,” insists Anna Rusak, a coalition member and health promoter with the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit. Rusak and the coalition are calling on the government to redirect funds for publicly funded programs that pay for dental care and treatment for low-income adults and seniors. Starting last fall, members of the coalition began circulating the petition in the region, urging residents to join in the fight. Currently there are limited dental benefits for people on social assistance; most publicly funded dental assistance programs in Ontario are limited to children and youth 17 years old and younger, stresses Rusak. The petition is part of a provincewide effort looking to address the issue so low-income seniors and adults aren’t left to suffer with serious dental problems and in pain, because they can’t afford to see a dental professional for proper care. The Ontario government has promised to expand dental coverage to adults and seniors by 2025, but the coalition says that’s not soon enough. The petition calls for expansion within two years. The coalition recently presented the petition, which included 325 residents’ signatures, to Nor-
thumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi. The MPP has tabled the petition in the Ontario Legislature, on behalf of the coalition. “We’re very pleased at MPP Rinaldi’s willingness to present the petition on behalf of his constituents and hope it spurs action with the Ontario government,” said Rusak. “We’re also very grateful to every person who signed the petition and sees the need for action.” The Ontario Oral Health Alliance estimates about every nine minutes within the province someone visits an emergency room with a dental problem. And while some areas do have volunteer community health clinics or some health units in the larger areas have dental centres or programs that will help people over 17, such initiatives are said to be quite sporadic throughout Ontario. In conjunction with the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, the coalition reports in 2015 alone, more than 350 people visited ERs for dental problems in Northumberland County. Dental-related hospital ER visits in Northumberland are expected to have cost the system more than $180,000 in 2015, according to coalition members and considering the average Ontario cost for a hospital visit is $513. “This is a very big issue, where people are suffering in pain and from infection,” said Sue Hochu, in a previous interview. Hochu is a coalition member and registered dental hygienist with the health unit. Hochu said the health unit frequently gets calls and emails from residents looking for help when it comes to dental coverage. People who visit the ERs for dental problems may only get painkillers, prescriptions for antibiotics or referrals to a dentist, which they can’t afford, noted Rusak.

High school students help Gosport residents guard against flooding BY JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com
Brighton — Dozens of high school students spent Friday helping residents in Gosport with sandbagging, to prevent their properties from being flooded. Mike Treacy, a construction teacher at East Northumberland Secondary School, said he was asked by one of the residents, Dylan Noble, a former student, “to put something together where we could go down and assist them” May 12. The community on Presqu'ile Bay was “in a mess (with) quite a few cottages and houses ... being slowly flooded out” by rising water in Lake Ontario.
And the situation promised to get worse with the lake projected to rise another six inches on the weekend. Close to 45 students took part in the sandbagging, starting shortly after 9 a.m. and continuing until around 2 in the afternoon. “Hopefully, we can prevent the water from taking over more places,” Treacy said. The situation was already “bad” when the students arrived. “Some of the roads are flooded out (and) quite a few yards are.” However, the concern was what could happen if it rained and water flows through the TrentSevern Waterway increased. The Municipality of Brighton supplied the bags, ties and sand and Blair Freeman Bus Lines

provided transportation at no cost. “It doesn't surprise me in the least,” Treacy said of ENSS students lending a hand, citing the years of support the school has given the Terry Fox Foundation and people in Africa. As a school alumnus, “I'm very proud,” he said, and the residents are “very, very happy” the students got involved. It's “important to help out the community” and it's something she loves doing, said Grade 12 student Emily Schmidt, who's a sailing instructor in Quinte West for people with disabilities. What the students did was “a blessing,” said Pam Agius, who showed up with a neighbour to collect 200 or so sandbags to place three deep around her house on Willow Point Road, which has become surrounded by water on all sides. Being from Prince Edward Island, “I should feel at home,” she quipped. Agius said she's “never seen anything like it” in the 16 years she's lived at her residence in Brighton. “Never had to use the sump pump, now it's
going constantly,” she said. “It's real serious. I don't want to lose the house ... I haven't slept in probably two weeks.” Brighton Coun. Steve Baker, who was helping out with the sandbagging, said the lake level is higher than it was in 1973, the last time a major flood occurred locally. “We're being told (it hasn't) crested yet,” he said, and that it won't happen for at least another two weeks. Chuck Ward, who served on council for 22 years, said he and other residents on Bay Street West began building a barrier along the side of the street closest to the water as the “first line of defence ... I think it's going to work.” Josh Amos said having so many people pulling together to help out is “pretty amazing,” he said. Nowadays “you don't see a lot of community effort and when it happens it's pretty impressive.” It was “a great effort by the high school, I appreciated that,” Mayor Mark Walas said.

Brighton’s Own: Jean Finkle; a participator, not a spectator BY VIC SCHUKOV
Jean Finkle, born in Kirkland Lake, was an only child: “Mom was from a family of 11, and Dad was the baby in a family of 16,”said Finkle. “Once they saw me, they said one is enough. (Laughs.) I was raised as an adult. My parents talked openly, and I was part of everything.” Her father was in the construction of Highway 11, so they moved month to month, depending on his schedule. Finkle attended eighteen public schools and five high schools by the age of 10: “It enabled me to adapt and learn how to make friends
easily. My theme song is On the Road Again.” When Finkle turned 11, her Mom decided that Jean needed to make permanent friends so the trio settled in Toronto. After graduating high school, Finkle got married. Things didn’t work out and she eventually resettled in Belleville as a single mother supporting two children. She worked as a plant manager’s secretary and climbed the corporate ranks to Human Resources Manager. In 1980, she borrowed $200 from her Mom to open a business as a career development and marketing consultant. She was soon in high

demand as many HR people knew her as an effective connector of people and companies. Her reputation led to a parallel job at Loyalist College as a professor in their Futures program. She literally rewrote the curriculum. After eight years, Finkle remarried and moved to Carleton Place, when her husband got a job in nearby Ottawa. After a brief stint as a sales coach, she became a career development professor at Algonquin College’s Futures program, rewriting that curriculum as well. “I became a Valley girl,” said Finkle. “I loved helping people move from being laid off into retraining. And I have always been a volunteer and ambassador, forming clubs wherever I lived. Energetic is the name.” In Carleton Place, she started Heart to Heart to help empty nesters. Finkle planned and facilitated programs for women, to enrich their lives while learning new things. She had started a similar group in Belleville called West Hill Women’s Fellowship: “Heart to Heart was my first such personal ministry as I have been with Christian Women’s since 1993, Presi-
dent of the Carleton Place and Almonte clubs.” In 2005, Finkle retired early to raise her sixmonth-old granddaughter Lily when her mother was having difficulty. In 2006, her husband fell ill, and they returned to Belleville, to be in his home town: “We raised Lily till he died in 2008. Lily was a blessing. I was never alone.” Finkle and Lily moved to Brighton seven years ago. Lily still lives with her and is now 16 years old. Along the lines of her two previous clubs, Finkle formed Take Time Out, a co-ed group of people to make new friends, share interests, and learn about their community through diverse monthly programs at Trinity St. Andrews United Church. She is also Coordinator of the adjoining Clothing Depot, church archivist, and former Trinity public relations go-to person. Finkle is a member of three Probus branches: Former President of the Brighton chapter, Charter Member-Founder and current Public Relations Chair of Presqu’ile chapter, and Northumberland where she “goes just to have fun. (Laughs.)” In 2011, she “dreamt up” the annual ladies group Fashion Show (May 13), all proceeds going to Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church. Between 1977 and the present, Finkle VETERINARY SERVICE has been affiliated with 30 benevolent SMALL ANIMAL CARE associations. (Ambassador indeed.) “I feel,” said Finkle, “that I have been Dr. Lex Luttikhuis, Dr. Michelle Chiunti and Associates given a great gift.

Colborne man will not fight cancer alone, community answers call for help SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com
Colborne — The community continues to rally in Nathan Kelly’s corner. A recent benefit dance hosted at the Keeler Centre in Colborne has raised almost another $10,000 on behalf of Kelly who has Hodgkin lymphoma. “The dance went really well, I’m guessing at least 400 people were there,” said Cindy Hickman, a cousin of Kelly’s who organized the fundraiser. “People danced all night, with the Little Lake band playing,” it was a beautiful show of support, said Hickman. Hickman is both proud and grateful her small community has come together in Kelly’s time of need. Fundraising efforts have been ongoing in recent months, as Kelly, 25, struggles to beat the cancer that first appeared as eight lumps on his neck in 2012. Previously a benefit concert was held in Cobourg at the start of April that raised about $25,000. At the time, Hickman couldn’t attend. And while she’s never organized anything like a benefit dance before, Hickman thought, why not host a dance in Colborne too? “We all live in Colborne, this is Nathan’s hometown — Cobourg is a 20 minute drive, I guess I just knew the community would come together in support of Nathan and come through for him, his family and his little girl,” said Hickman. Fundraising efforts have been underway recently as Kelly may require a special chemotherapy drug that could cost as much as $250,000 for eight treatments. “All of the businesses in Colborne have been very generous, donating items for a raffle and silent auction at the dance,” said Hickman. “We were even able to raffle off a donated barbecue …” Kelly was in remission until his cancer returned last July. He has since undergone chemotherapy and stem cell treatments, followed by radiation but continues to battle cancer. Kelly is now continuing chemotherapy treatments in Cobourg. “We’re hopeful it [the chemotherapy] will make a difference,” said Bill Patchett, who’s spearheading the overall fundraising effort on behalf of Kelly. Patchett reports to date, around $110-$120,000 has been raised in support of Kelly. Patchett is also continuing to pursue additional avenues looking for funds for Kelly, including looking for support from the provincial government. The drugs Kelly needs are not publicly funded. Talks are ongoing with Northum-
berland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi as to how maybe the province could get involved and Patchett is hopeful, he said, something might evolve, though it’s still very early. Patchett has formed a committee of nine people to help him raise money on behalf of Kelly, with the hopes of raising enough funds so Kelly can live a long and full life with his wife and their young daughter.
“We all live in Colborne, this is Nathan’s hometown — Cobourg is a 20 minute drive, I guess I just knew the community would come together in support of Nathan and come through for him, his family and his little girl.” CINDY HICKMAN
Patchett believes the drug known as brentuximab; a monoclonal antibody could save Kelly’s life. It worked for Patchett, 78, who had cancer throughout his body and twice was told he was going to die but beat the odds because of the drug. Kelly’s doctor is reportedly also “quite confident” brentuximab will make a difference. The difference between Patchett and Kelly is, when diagnosed Patch-
ett had private insurance that covered costs for the $30,000 treatments needed. Kelly does not have insurance but it’s believed the drug, used in combination with another agent, bendamustine, could work and increase the odds in Kelly’s favour significantly. The fundraising committee has launched a GoFundMe campaign online via www.gofundme.com/helpnathan-live. Lo-
cal banks in the areas have set up accounts, where people can also donate. The Rotary Club of Colborne has committed to handing over proceeds of this year’s annual golf tournament to help Kelly and his family. The event is slated for June 15, at the Shelter Valley Pines Golf Club. The cost is $95 per golfer. Hickman will also have green rubber bracelets for sale soon in support
of her cousin. “We’re going to keep going, we’re getting there,” said Hickman. “It is hard when cancer runs in your family and when they’re so young …” — With files from John Campbell

Heritage Cramahe exhibit shows how Castleton 'took root' BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Colborne — Small, rural communities wax and wane over the decades, and it’s always fascinating to compare their modern selves to what they were in years gone by. It’s possible to do that now with the village of Castleton, courtesy of a new exhibit put together by Heritage Cramahe that’s currently on display at the Colborne Art Gallery. “There are bound to be some surprises,” Barrie Wood said, namely that “it was a real boom town at one time, like a lot of small towns that sprang up around fast-moving water.” The water in its case was Piper’s Creek, which supported more than one mill — including Purdy’s — when the village was at its peak. Castleton Took Root looks at how “the community came to be where it is and what it is — the cycle that it’s been
through,” Wood said. Back in the late 1800s, “it was a happening place.” A business directory, circa 1895, has nearly two dozen entries that included blacksmiths, butchers, shoemakers, grocers, general stores, furniture retailers, mills, a hotel and a medical practice, serving a population of around 500. “You can see the number of enterprises that were carrying on and thriving, not to mention all the farms that were doing well at the time, because that’s what fed all these businesses,” Wood said. “These services sprang up because there were farmers around that needed them, and the mill was the first thing that started it all off.” Purdy’s Mill was built around 1830 by Joseph Abbot Keeler, son of the first settler of Cramahe Township and the man who’s considered the founder of
Barrie Wood says Castleton was “a happening place” back in the 1800s when it supported nearly two dozen businesses. Artifacts from its early days are currently on display at the Colborne Art Gallery. John Campbell/Metroland
Castleton. The Purdy family bought the The exhibit notes current efforts mill in 1875 and owned it until 1948. to reopen the mill as an arts and per-
formance place. “The artifacts have come from Roseanne Quinn,” a Heritage Cramahe member whose family roots in Castleton go back at least three generations, Wood said. “Her father was an avid collector of Castletonia, as she has become.” Castleton Took Root is the third show mounted by Heritage Cramahe, with the first two being Northumberland Went To War last fall, and Rugs — Then and Now earlier this year. The exhibit will continue until July 2. The gallery’s hours are Thursday to Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. There is no admission charge. The next exhibit, set for August, will be about apples. Anyone with information or items relating to the early apple industry in the township is asked to contact Heritage Cramahe at info@heritagecramahe.ca.

Brighton — Adult rollerblading is an option every Wednesday in Brighton. Doug Platt, Jim Cowan, Derek Madder and Cathy Hough made sure of it. The group started the adult rollerblading open program about three or four years ago. “We just wanted to have some fun and get some exercise,” said 74-year-old Platt. The group rallies together with anyone else who may want to join in every Wednesday at the King Edward Park Arena. Over the years, others have joined in the action and found their way to the Brighton arena on Wednesday af-
ternoons, but the group would still like to see more people come out and give rollerblading a whirl. “It’s actually easier than skating on ice — it feels better too, though the rollerblades are heavier,” said Platt. As an added bonus, there’s no fighting with Mother Nature, leaves, trees or debris, the group jokes. Art Plasschaert, 75, says the Brighton arena “is perfect for rollerblading, because the polished concrete is so smooth.” Plasschaert was a competitive speedskater when he was younger. He especially enjoys and looks forward to his weekly rollerblading ritual with the
gang and still at 75, loves to be active. Seniors or adults who may be interested in joining the group are invited to drop in on a Wednesday afternoon starting at 1 p.m. “We’re usually here from 1 to 2 p.m., sometimes 2:30 p.m.,” said Platt. It’s $2 to participate, you don’t have to be a pro and fancy moves aren’t a requirement. The group asks people bring helmets. And absolutely no one is too old to give it a try and strap on some blades, says the group. Plasschaert promises there’s nothing to be scared of, if anything rollerblading will make a person stronger, he said.

Local girl catches eyes of NCAA recruiters south of the border BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton — Raeanne Breton fell in love with the game when she was just seven yearsold. Now at age 16, her game already has her going places. The Grade 10 East Northumberland Secondary School student and Brighton resident, has already set her course for after high school. Raeanne has verbally committed to playing NCAA Division 1 Hockey for the University of New Hampshire, starting in 2019. “When I started in hockey when I was seven, it was actually originally because of CanSkate — I wanted to be just like the figure skaters,” said Raeanne. It wasn’t long after, Raeanne started watching her brother play hockey and then she wanted to try that too. Raeanne’s mom, Brenda, remembers how her daughter wanted to be “just like the older kids and to do what they did.” Raeanne fell in love with the game almost instantly. She also just finished a stellar season with the Durham West Lightning midget AA hockey team. Raeanne recently brought home a bronze medal after competing at the 2017 Esso Cup Nationals in Morden, Manitoba. Raeanne’s team previously won gold at the provincials to advance to the Esso Cup, where Canada’s top six teams competed. Her team claimed a 4-1 victory at the national competition during the bronze medal game. Raeanne is the sole player from the area on the team. She actually started nationals off sick and in hospital,

missing her team’s starting game. “It was a pretty rough week,” admitted Raeanne, but she managed to make a quick comeback and pull through. One of the team’s forwards also broke her hand at nationals. As a lead offensive defenceman and with only five defence players on the team, Raeanne was playing every other shift. “She did really well,” said her proud mom. “I mean every time coming off the ice, she was almost collapsing but she was able to gather herself together when her team needed her.” In the bronze medal game, Raeanne’s team also faced off against their host. “They had so many fans and absolutely everyone was

be had seven goals scored on them total in the season.” Raeanne helped her team seal the win against the Aeros with an assist in the final period and with only 30 seconds left, making the score 3-1. Raeanne’s team recorded five wins and a single loss at the tournament to earn gold and to advance to nationals. Raeanne returned home from nationals at the end of April. It’s the camaraderie that’s involved with playing on a hockey team that drives Raeanne and is what she enjoys most, she said. For the 2017-18 season, Raeanne will play for the Durham West Junior Lightning, out of Ajax in the Provincial Women’s Hockey League. She will be the youngest defenceman on the team and is looking forward to new challenges. Raeanne previously played rep hockey in Trenton, with the Quinte West Hawks and in Belleville, with the Bearcats. She made the move to the Durham team in 2015-16, looking to change things up.

Durham West was also the youngest team at the competition and had the smallest roster, with only 14 players and two goalies, said Brenda. “They really did have to fight for everything all year, absolutely nothing was given to them,” said Brenda. For many of the girls, including Raeanne, it was a dream come true to get to nationals. But the road to nationals wasn’t easy. Finishing first in their division, that was just the beginning for the girls. With more than 100 midget AA teams in Canada and 54 of them from Ontario, it’s no small feat to earn a spot at the provincial championships, noted Brenda. Of the 54 female hockey teams, only 24 advance to provincials. To win gold, Raeanne’s team also had to take on one of the “hardest teams,” the Toronto Aeros. “They were definitely the team favoured to win provincials,” said Raeanne. “They won all their games and may-

Teachers go the extra mile for Relay for Life BY MARTIN DURKIN
Students at École élémentaire publique Cité-Jeunesse in Trenton recently had a blast as two teachers agreed to have their heads shaved. Grade one teacher Margaret Doyon-Nadeau, came up with an idea to have a Relay for Life at the French public schools on the military base in Trenton. A relay participant in Quebec, Nadeau wanted to continue the tradition here in Ontario. “I used to walk it back in Que-
bec City, with my friend who had cancer when she was 22 and for my grandfather who is also a cancer survivor,” said Nadeau. Students were quickly on board and an incentive was given to help raise funds. The total goal is to raise $15,000 for the May 26 relay at Marc Garneau park. Along the way teachers have agreed to participate in events such as head shaving, hair dying, and for the male teachers, leg waxing if certain goals are reached. At $10,000, Nadeau agreed to have
her head shaved in front of the school, with her students each getting a chance to slice some of her locks off. $12,600 was quickly reached. Also at the head shaving event, another teacher agreed to take part in having her head meet the razor. Teacher Madame MariePier, was the first lady to go in front of the school, and it was her son that had the honours of removing the hair. However, this moment inside the gymnasium wasn’t just for
the students to see their teachers fulfill their promise, for Pier and her son Nicolas, it was something much more special. Now a grade four student, Nicolas is a cancer survivor. Diagnosed last year, he is currently in remission. Nadeau was the second teacher up, and each student delighted in getting their chance in using the scissors on their now, favourite teacher. “I’ve given my hair to cancer two times when it was long
enough, but this is the first time shaving, so I don’t know what I’ll look like, I’ve never seen my head!” Said Nadeau. The May 26 event will be a bilingual and military event. Participants will take to the field from 11 a.m. until 11 p.m. and everyone is welcome to come out and cheer the students on. If you would like to help with the cause either financially or by participating in the 12-hour relay, call the school and ask for Nadeau.

These students from Pinecrest School, Bloomfield, were among the participants at Friday night’s school closure meeting at West Lake. Jack Evans/Metroland in his township, “there are 19 errors in the report positively identified.” “Speed kills,” said one speaker. “Let’s slow down, maybe close a school or two every few years, not 600 all at once.” One parent from Sophiasburgh Ward in Prince Edward related a detailed effort by parents to present optional uses for their school. They included a cooking school for the community but would require volunteers and they would all have to have police checks. “I am a police officer and I still need a check,” she said. One speaker spoke about a rural school near Kingston where in recent years the community partnered with the school to create a local library for general use. “Our school is targeted to close. What happens to the books?” the woman asked. One man described the whole exercise as a “farce,” suggesting that decisions are being forced from the top down. One trustee, Tom Mahoney from Centre Hastings, said he was given two large binders of background details and expected to make a decision at the next board meeting. Several parents insisted their demands for detailed information and suggestions were consistently ignored. One was told that to get the information they required would cost over $126,000. Lack of information was one of the main concerns voiced
during the meeting. A number of students from Pinecrest School, Bloomfield, also targeted to close, attended, as did Todd Smith, the MPP for Hastings-Prince Edward. Smith, a member of the Opposition Progressive Conservative Party, questioned the ministry’s motives for the sessions, affirming that every MPP in Ontario is well aware of concerns by municipal politicians, school administrations, teachers, parents and students and well prepared to advise them. He said the closure program in his riding will involve hundreds of jobs in support services to start with. Another consistent concern was the concept of using Kindergarten through Grade 12 schools, to make more efficient use of properties. Parents were concerned at safety and wisdom with no background knowledge of how they would work. (The K-12 system has been used in Australia for many years, where residents report it effective and how all ages of siblings help look after and monitor each other.) The din in the crowded hall during plenary table sessions was like a classroom out of control at times, but most tables reported consensus on many issues. But it was not the kind of consensus the ministry wanted to hear. If there’s such a thing as the mythical Pandora’s box, the ministry appears to have opened it up.

MPP Smith slams Liberals after leaked hydro document surfaces BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – A leaked government document obtained by The Toronto Star suggests hydro rates are sure to rise even more in the coming years. It’s more fodder for Prince-Edward Hastings Member of Provincial Parliament Todd Smith to shun the ruling Liberal government on, as Smith is the energy critic for the Opposition Progressive Conservative Party. The document says rates will start rising 6.5 per cent a year in 2022 and top out at 10.5 per cent in 2028, when average monthly bills hit $215. The plan also means the return of the Debt Retirement Charge – under a slightly different name, starting in 2025, according to Smith. This upward trends of rates would also essentially negate the 25per cent hydro rate cut the Liberal government approved for this summer, upon hearing from Ontarians that hydro rates are too high and hampering the economy. “When the government came out with their scheme, we knew that they weren’t fixing the underlying problems with the system and they were just creating a large debt and hiding MPP Todd Smith speaks at a recent meeting. Smith is the energy critic for the PCs. it at Ontario Power Generation,” File photo Smith said in a statement. “They’ll record levels.” company through monthly hydro Charge, was taken off bills at the use it to subsidize rates until we get Ontarians paid off debt accumu- bills for several years until the fee, start of 2016. through the next election, at which But Smith believes it’s making a point hydro rates start going back to lated by the former Ontario Hydro known as the Debt Retirement
comeback in 2026 and will be four times the size of the old charge by 2028, at more than $21 on every bill. “The return of the Debt Retirement Charge tells you all you need to know about how the Liberals view peoples’ hydro bills.” Smith added. “They don’t think this is a problem for people’s pocketbooks, they think this is a problem for their re-election chances. A $21 Debt Retirement Charge is five times as big as the charge was the last time it was on your bill.” The leaked papers overshadowed Energy Minister Glenn Thibeault’s efforts to tout the price break, which will be followed with four years of hydro rate increases at 2 per cent, roughly the rate of inflation. Thibeault charged that the Conservatives used an “outdated” document to distract from the fact that they are the only major party without a plan for dealing with skyrocketing hydro rates, with a year to go until next June’s provincial election. “It’s not a coincidence,” he told reporters, denying any plans for an eventual 10.5-per-cent rate hike and promising the government’s new long-term energy plan, due in a few months, will have better numbers. “We are working hard right now to continue to pull costs out of the system.” –With files from The Toronto Star

TRAVEL BY JOHN M. SMITH
Another Dozen of Canada’s Great National Parks
Last summer, I wrote a piece in which I listed a dozen of Canada’s great national parks, and I mentioned that, in celebration of our 150th birthday celebrations in 2017, our national parks would be free. Well, that time has now arrived, so this might be the perfect summer to explore some of these. In my previous travel piece, I wrote about these national parks: Banff, Cape Breton Highlands, Fundy, Gros Morne, Jasper, Kluane, Point Pelee, Prince Albert, Prince Edward Island, Thousand Islands, Wapusk, and Wood Buffalo. Well, just in case that dozen isn’t enough for you, here’s another dozen of our most interesting, worthwhile national parks: 1 Bruce Peninsula: This fascinating Ontario park is located
near Tobermory and along the Georgian Bay coastline. It’s on a section of the Niagara Escarpment that’s adorned with intriguing caves and cliffs. Visitors will want to check out its most popular attraction, the Grotto, for it’s a big cave that was carved out by the waves of Georgian Bay over thousands of years, and it’s possible to walk along an edge inside its cavity. 2 Forillon: Quebec’s first national park is located on the tip of the Gaspe Peninsula, and it offers almost vertical cliffs along its rugged shoreline. Seal colonies and a plethora of seabirds find shelter here. The peninsula’s most prominent feature is a lighthouse that rises high above the St. Lawrence, the Pointe-au-Pere National Historic Site, and it guides boats past the formidable

headland. 3 Georgian Bay Islands: Comprised of several islands and islets, this small park is part of an archipelago that stretches along the eastern shoreline of Georgian Bay. The park is only accessible by water, so a kayak or a canoe would give you the ability to explore many of the inlets and bays at your leisure. However, the park’s own passenger vessel, the Day Tripper, is available, as well as water taxis operated by local marinas, and there are boat tours that will allow you to view even more of the area’s 30,000 islands. 4 Glacier: Many snow-capped mountain peaks and a bevy of avalanche slopes can be seen from the portion of the Trans Canada Highway that bisects this park. For me, several years
some of the smaller ones. 6 Nahanni: This is yet another National Park Reserve, and this one is located in the southwest corner of the Northwest Territories. The centerpiece of this park is the Nahanni River, with its awesome canyons and treacherous rapids. The South Nahanni River itself twists through the park for 320 km., past three immense canyons, boiling hot springs, icy caves, and soaring mountains. If this isn’t enough, there’s also Virginia Falls – but if you’re paddling, don’t miss the portage, for this spectacular falls plummets almost twice as far down as Niagara Falls! 7 Pacific Rim: This is yet another National Park Reserve, and it’s made up of three separate regions (Long Beach, the Broken Group Islands, and the West Coast Trail). It’s renowned for its lush rainforests and rugged coastline, and it’s located along the southwest corner of Vancouver Island. I spent my time in the most accessible and popular region of this park reserve, Long Beach. It’s the coastal area located between the villages of Ucluelet and Tofino, and it has the most extensive sand dune/beach area found on all of Vancouver Island. 8 Quttinirpaaq: This park, the name of which translates as “the top of the world”, is our northernmost, located in Nunavut, on the northeastern corner of Ellesmere Island. It’s also our second largest (after Wood Buffalo National Park), and it offers a rugged wilderness and isolation. You’ll probably have a lot of wide open space to yourself, so travel prepared. It’s even a requirement that all visitors must register and attend a mandatory orientation session with park staff prior to entering this remote park.

ago, the highlight was cycling through the park’s awesome Rogers Pass. Looking back now, it’s hard to believe that I was able to pedal through this very challenging park, stopping at the Rogers Pass National Historic Site at the summit. I had begun that morning in Revelstoke and cycled through the park, including several snow tunnels, and on to Golden in one day. What an accomplishment! 5 Gulf Islands: This is one of Canada’s Park Reserves in the system of national parks and park reserves, and it’s located between Vancouver Island and the mainland of British Columbia.

Manitoba Escarpment, stands in sharp contrast to the surrounding prairie farmland. Route #10 cuts through this park, and there are over 400 km. of trails available for hikers, horse riders, and mountain bikers. 10 Torngat Mountains: This is our newest national park and Labrador’s first. It’s yet another remote park, so registration with park officials is mandatory. It’s a land of mountains, glaciers, caribou, and polar bears, and there are no roads or campgrounds. In fact, Parks Canada recommends that a visitor engage the services of a trained Inuit polar bear guard when hiking in this park. 11 Waterton Lakes: It’s located in southwest Alberta, next to Montana’s Glacier National Park, so the two destinations are often visited together. I can remember being greeted by a snow storm on my visit to this area one July! However, it can also be very warm here in the summer. It just depends. I’d recommend a drive on its Red Rock Parkway, especially during peak wildflower season. At the end of the road, a short hike will take you through a pine forest to Blakiston Falls – or a longer trail will lead you to Goat Lake (where mountain goats are often visible). 12 Yoho: This park is located in southeastern British Columbia, in the Canadian Rockies. Its name comes from the Cree word for “awe”, and that’s certainly appropriate when you see its majestic snow-capped mountains, glacial lakes, and glaciercarved valleys. The Trans Canada Highway cuts through this park, and I used this route on my bicycle trip through the Rockies. My climb from Field through the Kicking Horse Pass was my toughest! Be sure to stop at the Spiral Tunnel Overlook. You might even get a glimpse of the Rocky Mountaineer from here!

of the growers/breeders in Holland to have developed the Canada 150 tulips so quickly and, coincidently, just in time to sell millions more of these beautiful flowers to Canada. A titch cynical, after the fact, but easily shown to be just not so. The Good Earth Column, Vol 10 No 37, “Celebrate Canada with Tulips, was published in September of last year. That particular topic was covered off with a discussion of how a serendipitous rebranding from Happy Generation to Canada 150 enhanced Canadian gardeners opportunities to display their horticultural patriotism- as well as enhancing the grower’s bottom line. Sigh! I was almost right. If we just look at the flower, then I’m close enough to right to invoke Spock’s maxim: a difference that makes no difference is no difference. Unfortunately, close enough isn’t close enough. (The accompanying photo, from our own garden is not a Canada 150 tulip, it is a Canada Celebration tulip.) There are/were two different tulips, with very, very similar flowers, being marketed in conjunction with Canada’s sesquicentennial celebrations. The first is the Carnaval de Rio. This is the one officially renamed and

made the mistake of stopping when I mis-read the promo from one of the Dutch promoters. I wrote my article and moved on. I revisited the topic after reading several current articles where opinions are expressed but little corroborative research had been done. It is clear that not all of the tulips are as advertised and I wanted to work this out. I was very busy trekking through the KAVB tulip registrations when I came across an article written by Robert Pavlis, also published last year. I firmly believe that while one might justify spending time improving the wheel, it is a waste of time re-inventing it. IN that spirit, after reading Mr. Pavlis’ research results, I stopped looking. And this time, I am very confident that all has been explained. By the way, Gentle Reader, you might want to check out Robert’s Aspen Grove Gardens in the Guelph area. The on-line virtual tour showcases a superior bit of landscaping and gardening.
Climate change endangers health, says QHC’s Dr. Z. BY JACK EVANS
Belleville – Apart from any other considerations, climate change is a definite threat to human health, says Dr. Dick Zoutman, chief of medical staff for Quinte Health Care. At a recent luncheon for Belleville General Hospital Foundation, Zoutman said there are no longer any solid arguments against climate change and many impacts are already being felt, including human health hazards. These, he said, will continue to increase as climate change progresses. Today’s generation will probably not notice much, but “our children and grandchildren will certainly be impacted,” he said. The “incredible” gains made by science for health protection
over the past 50 years are already being eroded and this will increase in direct proportion to warming climate. Because of warmer temperatures, more of North America will be home to mosquitos carrying such deadly diseases as malaria, zika and dengue. For the latter, dengue-carrying mosquitos have already been identified just across the Great Lakes in New York and other states. Poor people and poor nations will be the first to suffer and suffer the most, he said. But the change will create a snowball effect of human perils - safe and adequate drinking water will be affected; extreme weather conditions, cold, hot, drought and flood will get worse; loss of shoreline lands and food
resources will lead to mass migrations and probably human conflicts. Canadians have been told for years that we have a great track record for low carbon emissions and clean air policies. In fact, he countered, “on a per capita basis, we are second to the United States and above Australia and New Zealand.” Heavy loss of polar ice caps, already experienced, will lead to still higher levels of sea water and more warming of the oceans, which will naturally expand as heated. Loss of fish for food will be experienced as will loss of many wildlife species, birds and mammals, like polar bears. Higher temperatures will make it extremely difficult, probably impossible,
for heavy outdoor labour for needed projects. Frostbite, heat stroke, heart and lung diseases and problems will increase. Even if disease-carrying mosquitos might not be right in Canada, they will be where many Canadians tend to go for holidays, exposing them to the disease, he added. He urged the generous audience to get involved in a personal way, using energy conservation, alternative en-
ergy sources, like solar panels, more walking or bicycling and eating less meat. “It is better that people get that grain nutrition directly rather than feeding it to animals,” he contended. He challenged the audience as individuals to adopt three meatless days a week, suggesting Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. “Who’s in?” he asked, to an obviously underwhelming response. Finally, both he and Drew
Brown, CEO of the hospital foundation, plugged for continued support and generosity. “No matter how much good news for hospitals was in the last provincial budget, the truth is, the province will not pay for equipment,” they agreed, arguing that the latest and best technology often leads to saved lives.

Hastings County’s new community and human services director has busy first meeting BY JACK EVANS
Belleville – Introduced as Hastings County’s new director of Community and Human Services for her first meeting of the Social Services committee last week was Erin Rivers. She has been an employee of the county for many years and filled in during the absence of former director Steve Gatward for some weeks a few years ago. Rivers told the meeting she was “delighted” with her promotion and pledged to continue to follow the county’s policies of helping all of its residents. She added that she hopes to provide more pertinent details of activities of her department in the months ahead. That promise was quickly called in by Belleville council representative Paul Carr, who asked for more specific details on a report of employment placements which was before committee members, to which River promptly pledged to provide in future. Carr was asking for details about education status and training needs for employers and opportunities for workers. The report showed a significant decline in the welfare caseload for April, from around 3,200 to around 2,900. It also specified employment connections the department pro-

cessed: 99 jobs filled with an average wage of $13.32 per hour. Of those jobs, 35 per cent were in the retail sector, 20 per cent were in manufacturing, 30 per cent were in general labour and 10 per cent were in administrative fields plus. Five per cent were in trades. Rivers’ appointment as Gatward’s successor was actually announced at the last county council meeting in April.

Hastings County eager for new provincially funded social programs BY JACK EVANS
Hastings County’s Community and Social Services committee last week was quick to support an application under the new provinciallyfunded Ontario Early Years Child and Family Centres program. New department director Erin Rivers called it “exciting “ after hearing a presentation from staffer Sheleena Forfar outlining the new program. She explained that services for children have been operating under four different provincial programs. Only two of those have been available in Hastings County and neither one is available throughout the entire county. The new program combines all four into one 100-per cent provincially-funded program for which the application deadline has now been extended until the end of September. Already, Forfar reported, she and her group have done extensive consultation on the needs and data required to submit an application. The new program is targeted to kick in on Jan. 1, 2018. The funding, she said, will come through the Ministry of Education. The goal, she explained is to “ensure that children and their parents and caregivers have access to the same suite of high-quality, core services
regardless of where they live in Hastings County.” The proposal passed unanimously, although it drew a comment from Centre Hastings Mayor Tom Deline about how the ministry can find funds for such a new program when it has to close so many schools to the detriment of many communities. Another program which remains to be costed, will have some budget impact, but still drew solid support to be recommended to county council. The program is called Home for Good, and it provides subsidies for local governments to improve access to proper shelter for homeless people. A video presentation included statements from various officials confirming the need for such, including Belleville Fire Chief Mark MacDonald , Police Chief Ron Gignac and county CAO Jim Pine, who referred to the county’s tradition of working on behalf of all of its resident and argued it was a great opportunity to solve a serious problem affecting all areas of the county. “Let’s get it done,” he said in the video. Committee Chair, Belleville Coun. Garnet Thompson, urged support for the project, stressing that it is an “important initiative. We don’t want homeless people on our streets,” he said.

Campbellford sports community goes to bat for kids after theft of minor softball equipment BY SUE DICKENS
Campbellford – Within hours of posting on their Facebook page that their equipment had been stolen, members of the community immediately went to bat for the Campbellford Minor Softball Association (CMSA). Learning of the break-in and theft of team equipment the day before the season was set to start on May 15, Amy-Jo Doherty, president of the CMSA said, “this was not how I wanted to spend Mother’s Day evening.” Putting it out there on social media she posted, “this past week in the midst of setting teams up and getting everyone on the field you as members of our sports organization have been robbed. Our equipment shed was broken into, vandalized and equipment taken. The equipment stolen was to be used by our teams and
players as they took to the field this week. Their first practice was Sunday night and the first game tonight (May 15).” She thinks there were four bags of equipment in their lockup packed with everything from several bats to helmets, shin pads and more. Some of the teams already have their equipment, “so we’re not without anything.” Whoever stole the equipment left the bags and each had a tag on them with the name of the team. “They left the tags behind too.” Doherty said the response from the community was immediate. “When I got back to work this morning the Trent Hills Soccer Club was here waiting with $1,000. They had received a grant from JumpStart,” she said. Soccer club President Carley McKelvie

and Treasurer Janice Mirabelli handed her the cheque on Monday. “Our local Canadian Tire has offered to help us replace things at cost,” said Doherty, whose energy and optimism soon became evident. “I’m trying to look at this in a positive way. In the realm of things there’s a really good story happening here. People in this town have each other’s back,” she noted. “We are asking for you to be on the lookout for any bats, helmets, chest protectors, shin pads and catcher helmets. If you find any of these please contact Amy-Jo Doherty. No questions will be asked,” she stated on the association’s
facebook page. “We ask for your patience as we scramble to replace as much as we can. We would also like patrons to know that we will be monitoring the equipment shed and cameras will be in place,” she wrote. “This act of stealing is truly heartbreaking as the ones it is affecting are our players, the youth of our community. We ask for your assistance in locating the missing equipment. Several volunteers gave up their evenings in order to ensure that players had the right equipment to play with.”

Hastings County to donate old ambulances to Loyalist College Hastings County’s regional services committee has recommended to county council that it make a gift to the Emergency Paramedic program at Loyalist College. The gift will comprise of one old ambulance with no transmission used for parts to make an interior box for study purposes, plus a second retired ambulance past its service days for full-vehicle education. The value of the package is $8,000, and supplements a similar gift to the college’s original course at its Bancroft campus. The course was so successful last year it is being expanded to the main campus at Belleville. Emergency Medical Services Chief

Doug Socha said the course has special value both for the community and for the EMS for recruits and strongly endorsed the college’s request, which was in turn adopted by the committee as a recommendation to council at a recent meeting. Also recommended to council was an agreement with Algonquin College to help train placement students in emergency services. Noting that the service has reduced response times throughout its two-county territory despite a sharp increase in call numbers drew a hearty compliment from Centre Hastings Mayor Tom Deline, who has been critical of response times, specifically for his community, on several occasions.

What is immunotherapy? Our immune system has the ability to find and destroy cancer cells. But cancer cells can sometimes hide from the immune system and avoid being destroyed. Cancer cells may also stop the immune system from working properly. Immunotherapy helps to strengthen or restore the immune system’s ability to fight cancer. How immunotherapy works The immune system defends and protects our bodies from infection and disease. It’s made up of organs, special cells and substances that work together to find and fight germs such as viruses or bacteria or abnormal or unhealthy cells that cause disease such as cancer. Germs and cancer cells have molecules on their surface that trigger the immune system to find and destroy them. But some cancer cells can hide from the immune system because they look a lot like normal cells. In some cases, the immune system may find cancer cells, but it isn’t strong enough to destroy all of them. And some cancer cells can even change how the immune system responds so it doesn’t work properly.
The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) funds a number of researchers who study immunotherapy. For example:
Dr Réjean Lapointe from the Centre de recherche du CHUM in Quebec is developing a gel to improve immunotherapy. Dr Lapointe and his team developed a gel to target and release cancer-fighting immune cells at just Immunotherapy boosts the immune system or the right spot. Further developments could helps the immune system to find cancer and attack greatly benefit people with cancer. it. Immunotherapy is used to: Dr John Bell from the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute is studying how cancer-killing viruses • stop or slow the growth of cancer • stop cancer from spreading to other parts of the attack tumour blood vessels. With his team, Dr Bell showed that a tumour’s overproduction of body • help the immune system work better to destroy a certain protein can allow oncolytic viruses to infect and destroy the tumour’s blood cells. The cancer cells • deliver toxins,such as radiation or chemotherapy, levels of this protein may help predict which patients will respond better to therapy with directly to cancer cells oncolytic viruses. For more information on immunotherapy or other cancer therapies, please call our Cancer Information Service at
